HERD LAW.
EDITOR REGISTER:

EDITOR REGISTER:
In your issue of February Goth, Mr.
'B." gave you some statistics of Neoshc
and Wilson counties; but he failed to
give you all of them and l will assist
him in presenting the balance this week
In 1870 Neosho codHty had popula.
ton of 10, 206; in 1873. i6,63S; in 1874,
IL, 3a+; and in 1875, 11,O76. In 1870
Wilson county had a population of 1854
in 1873, 1855; in 1874, 1872; and in
1875, 9,749. The herd law went into
effect in Neosho county in 1873 and at
that time her population WIS 1858; in
1874 it was only II, s24, making loss in
population of 1914 in one year; in 1875
the population of Neosho county was
IL ,076, making loss of 24S in 1875.
In 1874 Wilson county had population
of 10,615; in 1874, 1872 making loss
in Wilson county of 1888; and in 1875
Wilson county's population was 9,749,
making an increase in Wilson county of
81 for 1875.
Now, you will see that Neosho county
has decreased in population every year
since the herd law went into effect and
and the total loss in three years is 1862.
and Wilson county's loss was 1888 and
in 1875 Wilson county regained 81 of
that number.
In 1873 Neosho county had 107 .55l. 25
acres under cultivation and Wilson 49,
1928. In 1875 Neosho comfy had
7,721.75 and Wilson fO6, 1927 max
ing an increase of 3O,17020 acres in Ne
osho and 5s,OOO.12 in Wilson county.
Mr.. "B." says the value of all farm
products in Neosho county in 1875 was
81, 059, 454.0l and in Wilson 1881 ,4l1.17;
and right here will inform him that
he made mistake Of 100000 in the
products of Wilson county which make s
Wilson foot up 1851 ,4l1.17--leaving a
balance in favor of Neosho county of
S1OS,0i2S4. From the population Ne
OSLO county had in 1873 l have no doubt
but that her products would have been
100000 more than that of Wilson if
they had not passed herd law in the
county.
Now will say to the readers of THE
REGISTER, take those figures and COM
pare the two counties in 1873 and 1870.
As to Neosho county leaving Wilson out
of sight 1 will say she will have to regain
what she has lost first. And will also
say to Mr.. "B." if he has any more of the
same sort to be digested, send them
along. r. Cook.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR MARCH.

Of the contents of this months st.
Nicholas, Mr.. Whittier's poem, "The
Pressed Gentian," will probably be the
most widely enjoyed. The true and ten.
der verses read SO charmingly alongside
the bright stories and sketches for the
children, and in that position reveal so
clearly the child-heart of the great man
that the poem certainly appears to excel
lent advantage. ''Tbe Pressed Gentian"
is written in his sweet rhythmic style,
and is full of his poetic feeling. 1t will
be welcomed every where.
Next in interest perhaps are the in
stallments of the serials-Mr. Brooks
story containing a very realistic descrip-
ton of Buffalo stampede" and Mr..
Bayard Taylor's fine picture of the
wonder and stupeiaction of an Icelandic
boy at his first view Of the sights of
Scotland.
Foreign scenery, indeed, enters largely
into the composition of the number,
since Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner gives
US delightful glimpse of the Festival
of Tapers" in an Italian church, with its
rollicking, mischievous, irreverent. but
entrancingly beautiful and melodious
choir-boy; Mrs. Oliphant contributes the
first of her papers on "Windsor Castle"
containing some very interesting details
of its early history; and there is given
us toward the close of the number, a
story of Egyptian life.
The series of "Talks with Girls is
begun with a charming "bit of talk"
from Louisa NJ Alcott, whose words are
always welcome to the girls, and always
worth their hearing; and Rebecca Hard
ing Davis furnishes one of the best sto.
ries in the number.
As fo- other contributions there is the
usual tullness and variety, from the
funny poem "The Shark" to Mr.. Ride
ing's fine description of "The New York
Fire Department" and Mrs. Mary Treats
