Yankee were invariably thin and poor.

man the reason of this, the land being
the same and the crops being sown at
same time. We'll, tells you,' said

submit recipe which, if followed, will
prove q sure cure. I have tried it, and
can testify to its value from experience.
It is as follows: Take a tablespoonful
of sulphur and put it in goblet full of
water; give tablespoonful of this ev-
cry three or four hours, and let the
child swallow it; in addition to this,
get one of the small tin pipes used by
children to encase slate pencils in at
school, close the tube so that you can
blow through it; get a little of the
powder into the tube, insert the tube
into the child's mouth almost down to
the membrane, and blow through the
tube. This will scatter the sulphur all
over the membrane, and will cut it out
of the throat and follow it through the
stomach, thereby not allowing the dis
ease to poison the blood. I have used
this recipe in my family on four occa-
sions, and have found it certain cure>

THE COMING CENSUS.
Tho Information Desired of the
Owners of Ea rms and Plan tn OnS

General Francis A. Walker, Super.
intendent of the Census, with view
to securing greater accuracy and uni
formity in the agricultural statistics
for the tenth census, haa just issued a
circular setting forth the aims and
wishes of the Bureau with regard to
the method of arranging such statis-
tics.
The agricultural schedule annexed
to the act of 1850, which is also made
part of the act of March Sd, 1879,
providing for the tenth census, re-
quires report of the chief produc-
tions of agriculture during the year
ending June lst.' There is, however,
no distinct agricultural year which
ends on the lst of June, and there is
no reason TO believe that the statistics
of agriculture from 1850 to 1870 in
regard to many of the principal pro-
ductions embraced portions of two
different crops, inasmuch as the emu
meration was protracted through three
four, and even five months. By the
act approved March Sd, 1879, it is pro-
vided that the tenth census shall be
taken and completed during the month
of June, 1880. This provision greatly
reduces the liability to error which
has been noted.
AS the enumeration will begin on
the 1st of June. and close on or before
the 30th, all the crops which are gath
cred once year will fall pretty clear
ly on one side or the other of the di-
viding line. Thus the cotton crop re-
ported in the census will be that of
1879, gathered in the fall of that year,
while the wool clip, or wool CROP
will be that of the spring of 1880, ex-
cept IN portions of California and
Texas, where both a fall and spring
clip is secured. For certain agricul-
tural products, however, there is no
harvest in the usual sense of the term,
but the product is gathered week by
week, or day by day, as it natures.
Milk, butter, cheese and meat belong
to this class. In view of the require
ments Of the law and the great i'm
portance of accurate statistical in
formation relative to agriculture, it is
deemed highly desirable that farmers
should prepare themselves in advance
to giYe Information with promptness

HOW THEY TRAVEL IN HUNGA.
lSY.

A traveller who recently went by
railroad from Kaschau to Eperies, in
Hungary. relates in the Vienna Neue
Frecie Presse the following incident
of his journey:
when about q mile from Kaschau,
the tram suddenly stopped on the
open road. The passengers threw up
the windows, the locomotive shrek
ed, the brakemen sprang from the
train-everybody thought an accident
had happened. What was it? A fat
and frisky little pig had escaped from
one of the cars, and was galloping
wildly oyer the cross-:ies. Now be-
gun an exciting chase. The frighten-
ed pig took to the fields, the drover
after him, while the brakeman looked
idly on and patiently awaited the cap
ture of the pig. The chase continuing
for considerable time, the brakeman,
and finely the engineer took hand in
it, the train meanwhile remaining sta
tionary on the main line. Having
been unsuccessful, the engineer and
brakeman returned one by one to the
train-all but one brakeman who car
ried the baggage check-book. After
waiting a while for him the engineer
concluded to leave him and the lost
pig behind, and the train was again
put in motion. Arrived at the Eper-
les the passengers demanded their
baggage, but were informed that it
could not be delivered, as the man
with the baggage-book would not be
there till the arrival of the next train,
and there remained nothing to be
done but patiently to await his com.
ing. That is the way they travel in
Hungary

and accuracy. All persons engaged II
agriculture are desired to make notes
from time to time of the quantities
| and values of their several crops gath
cred, and the number of acres of land
planted, in order that the statements,
when made to the enumerators, may
be of the highest possible value.
To remove any doubts which may
arise concerning the crops to be re-
turned in the census, the following
statement will show those specifically
mentioned in the agricultural schedule
arranged accordingly as they fall into
the calender year 1879, or that of 1880,
or are to be returned for the twelve
months beginning June l, 1879, and
ending May 81, 1880.
OF the crop of the calendar year of
1879: Wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley,
buckwheat, rice, tobacco, cotton, po-
tatoes. peas and beans, orchards, vine
yards, small fruits, hay, clover seed,
grass seed, hops, hemp, fax, faxseed,
sugar cane and sorghum-acres and

or the crop of the calendar year
1880: Wool-number of feeces and

Of the yield of twelve months, end

greatly facilitated.
