The first federal census was taken,
very loosely, in the year 1890 1t was
little more than an approximation of the
number of Inhabitants then in the
United States. From that time to 1850
II similar enumeration was taken every
ten years. In 1850 an attempt was made
for the first time, with tOlerable success,
to collect statistics of manufacturers,
immigration, migration, agriculture,
births, deaths, occupations and classifi-
cation of age, condition, education, etc,
as well as general population. In 1860
and 1870 still further improvements
were made in statistical methods. and
this year (1SSO) it has been the intent of
the act authorizing the census and max
ing adequate appropriation of money
therefor, to very considerably improve
an the accuracy and amplitude of all
former cnumerations

CHICKEN BREEDING IN FRANCE.

Thanks to some singular statistics
just published, for the authenticity of
which, however, | should hesitate. to
vouch, a mystery that has long hung
over our dinner tables is cleared up.
English travellers or residents in France
must, like myself, have often wondered
twhsra'DN thea fowls that figure daily in
menus ut every hotel, restaurant and
private house i'll the country, at no mat
ter what season of the year, can pos
slbly come from. The supply appears
to be ineXhaustible, and that it is so
practically is proven by the announce
ment that France contains no fewer
S4llaB, 40, 000, 900 hens which are followed
by a tfaiR5dafi 100,O00,000 chickens,
about tenth part of these latter being
destined for the duties of propagation
The 40,OOO,OOO hens lay annually four
milllards of eggs, which, at the rate of
6 confines each-a trifie over a half
penny-the price paid to the breeder,
realize sum of 100000, 900 francs. If
TO this amount be added the proceeds
from the sales of fowls, whether lean
or fat, and taking into consideration
also the surplus value attaching to eggs
and birds by reason of city tolls, the
total arrived at is set down at the al
most fabulous figure of 55O.0OO,OOO
francs, or more than half milliard
produced annually by French poultry
yards Neither ducks nor geese nor
turkeys are included in these calcula-
tions; if they were the gross sum would
have been increased by several hun
dreds of millions of francs So, ac-
cepting this census as tolerably near
the mark, we may henceforth cease to be
surprised at the vast amount of chicken.
