AS Gen. Walker says in speaking of
this matter, it almost staggers credulity.
THAT man, a mere human being" says
General Walker, ''should be able to pre-
dict, so years in advance, the number
of inhabitants in rapidly-growing coun-
try within a fraction of one per cent,
seems wonderful beyond belief" Had
the war not interviewed, it is believed
that Watson's predictions would have
held good in 1870 and also in 1880.
But in 1870 he was ahead of the census
nearly 100000, and in 1880 nearly
100000. The losses of the war, d.
rect and contingent, We can never know,
but Watson's figures, almost absolutely
accurate up to the war period, would
show it to affect US the present year to
the extent of nearly 100000. That
is. had there been no war, the present
population of the United States would
be about 55, 100000. Watson predicted
that the population in 1900 would reach
100,00O,OO0. but Gen. Walker does not
believe it will be over about $4,000, 000

WHAT rs A THoRoUGHBRED?

AS ordinarily applied by breeders, the
word thoroughbred" simply means
purely bred, or of unmixed lineage; and
in this strict sense none of our domesti-
tated animals can justly be called thor
oughbled. because they have more or
less composite ancestry. When, how
ever, certain strain or race has been
bred within itself, without out-crosses to
other or different strains, for many gen.
erations, until marked and peculiar
type is uniformly reproduced, that race,
or strain. or breed, is said to be thor
oughbred, or purely bred.
The term thoroughbred was first
applied only to horses in Great Britain
bred especially for racing purposes, and
was adopted as the name of the breed,
and is still used for that distinctive pur-
pose. Consequently when one speaks of
a thoroughbred horse. all intelligent
horsemen understand that the race-horse
is meant. No horses are recognized as
thoroughbreds in this country that do
not show an unbroken line of ancestry,
on both sides. to animals recorded in the
English StudBoo No intelligent horse
man will speak of thoroughbred Nor
gan, thoroughbred trotter, or thor.
oughbred draft-horse. because. as before
stated, the term, when applied to horses,
belongs TO only one particular breed
called Observation-Disclosures Lice

BOX CHURNS !!

We make the very best Churn made i'm the United
States. They are the Improved Box Churn, prices
from six to twenty dollars. Fourteen dollar churn
will churn from FIVE to seventy-five pounds work
best at fifty pounds, the other sizes in proportion
We defy any to bring forward better one; and
In proof Of it we will let any responsible person who
wants churn. try month before buying
They the cheapest churn for the of butter
that can be made in them with but one exception)
and will beat them all on the following points,
amount of butter from the same amount of cream
shorter time in churnng; better butter; ease in
churning; with which the butter be got out
of the churn and washed in the churn. Power can
be applied at any time without any change in the
churn. Will last lifetime whereas other churns will
give out, on an average, once in five to years.
In three years sales we have found but four who did
not keep the churns one admitted that if he had
known how to run it Tor the thing. the tempe
nature the cream should be- he would have kept it
and the others because they heavy TO move
around. Will send photographs if requested and also
references that will satisfy any reasonable person that

yon can try them before buying. that there is
possibility Of your being humbugged in the matter.
We also sell barrel churns. but recommend the box.

have been informed that a winter term
of school was kept in district No. s, by
Miss Ewins, but as no such teacher has
been licensed by me, said term of school
has not legal existence under the pro-
visions of the school law.
In closing my report, while believing
that the schools of the town have been on
the whole well Differed during the year,
yet I do not think that the highest ideal
Of the teachers work has been grasped by
every teacher in the town. While there
praiseworthy, yet there are too many who
are content if they simply impress upon
the scholars the bare facts Of the text
books. That this is wrong the best ed
when this mechanical style of teaching
will be done away, and when the teachers
will see that their work also implies the
| importation of principles, the training of
the scholars to look beneath the surface
of things, and to find the causes from
which these results spring. would urge
upon all those engaged in teaching, or
intending to teach, to enter upon the
study Of the best principles Of their art,
to seek a wide and liberal acquaintance
with all subjects connected with schools
and school work, so that out Of a we'll
stored mind they may be able not only to

also to create desire to become well
informed on all subjects of general knowl-
