COUNTING BY ELECTRICITY.
Interesting Machine to be Used IN the
Forthcoming Census.
From Modern Light and Heat.

from Modern Light and Heat.
We have on more than one occasion
published note on the complicated cleo
trical appliances which have been manu-.
factured to be used in taking the forth
coming census. We now give brief de-
scription of the process:
The census collector will call with his
printed blank, and answers to questions
will be written in the usual way. These
sheets will then be placed before a person
who operates machine which may be
llkened to typewriter, except that, in
stead of the usual ink marks on paper,
small round holes are punched in a card
The cards one for each person, are about
six and a half inches in length by three
inches in width, and the particular posi-
tion of hole in a card indicates an answer
to some of the questions in the printed
blank.
As many as 250 items of information can
be punched out upon card, although no
one card would ever have more than one
tenth part of the whole number For ex-
ample, no one person can be classed as both
white and black, American and foreign
born, and if foreign born he can only come
from one country. These cards, when
punched, are placed one at time in a sort
of press, and lever operated by one hand
is brought down, when series of pins are
brought against the card. Wherever q
hole has been punched in card, the cor
responding pin passes through into a mer-
curry cup beneath, completing the electric
circuit. These circuits, one for every hole,
pass out to a large number of counters
which operate electrically, and which add
upon their dials all items of the same kind
upon the same dials. For instance, all
white men are counted upon dial marked
"white males;;" all business or professional
people upon dials which indicate their
particular business or profession. The
cards, as they leave the press, are all sorted
by means of an electrical sorting device,
whereby they may be sorted into groups or

THE MAN o. AIRLIE.

o, there abou' yon heather hill,
Where ioofa' comes but rarely,
There is house they point out still,
Where dwell the man O. Airlie.
He wore coat o. holden gray,
His hand was hard wi labor,
But still he had namely way
o. standing by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made me rejoice,
His words the neighbors guided,
The little bairnies loved his voice,
And in his smile confided;
The words to-day that left his lip
Became u deed tomorrow:
HOut, man, the friendship OF his grip
Would lift the heart o sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in learnin' sairly,
And yet ye'd pick him frae crowd,
This honest man o. Airlie.
His wealth it was ma in his land,
IL was ma in the city;
A mint o. honor was his hand,
His heart mine O pity.
He's dead and game. this prince O. Fife,
Mute in his burly laughter;
But. ah the music of his life,
That bides with us long after
his memory lives, the man may die,
That fingers bright and louin',
Just like star lost frae the sky,
Whose ray survives his ruin.

To have said ten years ago that every
farmer ought to keep only pure-bred stock,
each the best of It's kind, would have
sounded to most people like theoretical
nonsense. There are now, however, many
good farmers who believe in having about
them no other than pure-bred stock. The
idea that such animals require better feed
and shelter than common or mixed stock
amounts to nothing as an argument in
favor OF the latter. Good feed and shelter
pay we'll in either case, but always best
when given the best stock.

osTRRIcH FARMIN,

do not know of but one hacienda of
this kind in Lower California, and that is
few miles south of La Paz. The i'm.
mense birds, each standing from nine to
ten feet "in his stockings" are kept in
corrals, or small Enclosures, one male and
two females occupying place together.
The entire farm is thus divided off with
little squares, like a gigantic checker
board, with a wide road running straight
down the middle where team may be
driven to carry food to the birds by the
wagon-load The fences are not high, for
ostriches can neither fly nor jump, al
though il is well known that in a race
with the feetest horse they are sure to
come out ahead. The males are black,
with white wings and tail-feathers, while
the females are light gray. All have the
most beautiful eyes large, soft and
pathetic, like those of fawn, but their
neck, misshapen feet and ludierous gait
make them anything but objects of beauty.
They eat an incredible amount of alfalfa,

USE RRAINs IN FARMING.

The time has passed for farmers to de-
pend on muscle and hard labor alone.
They must use their brains as well as
hands, They must do more thinking and
planning if they desire to receive the best
results. The lawyer studies law. The
doctor medicine The merchant must
study commerce, the laws of supply and
demand, and the banker must aequaint
himself with the principles and details of
finances. Just so the farmer must study
farming. The experiments of last year in
crop raising and breeding must be remem-
bered and put to practical use this year.
Not only his own experience but that of
his co-laborers should be his to profit by.
Farming is a science, and there are many
new things td>learn in it yet; and the best
and cheapest way to learn those things is
by study. Take agricultural papers, read
in their columns the experiences and
observations Of others and avail yourself of
the many useful hints and suggestions.

BUYING MANURE.

Summer is the best time to get manure
cheaply for those near enough to cities
and villages to make the expense of haul
ing not too serious matter. At this sea-
son, in many places, manure piles become
a nuisance, and their owners are glad to
give them away, while the same piles in
winter, when competition is sharp, COM
mand 81 or more per load. OF course this
is the farmers busiest time and he cannot
afford to spare men or team help exclu-
sively for drawing manure, no matter how
cheap 1t may be. But if he is obliged by
business to go with team to city or vii
lage, the farmer can now pick up load of
manure which in winter he would find it
hard to obtain at any price. If there is
anything that can make extra force of
teams profitable on farm, it is the advant-
age it affords in purchasing manures to
fertiliZe with

used on all-hoed crops. With most it
should be given at least once week, so
long as it can be done without iniuring
the crop. After corn begins 10 ear, horse
passing between the rows may be the means
of breaking or bruising the ears, causing
sap to burst forth in which the black fun
gus will start into growth. But mp to that
time a cultiyator that scarifes the surface
for a depth of two inches may be run
almost daily without injury, and with de-
cided benefit. 1t should at least be done
every time heavy rains or irrigatiop forms
crust over the surface.

the hands or face with what is known
as poison ivy, especially in hot wealth

The trouble may subside for a time,
only to appear in aggravated form
when opportunity offers. The great
purifying powers of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla thoroughly eradicate every trace
of poison from the blood, as the cures
it has accomplished conclusively
shown. 1t also cures scrofula, salt
rheum and all other affections arising
from impure or poisoned blood.

and work of philanthropy besides.
Myriads of our fellow-creatures who

What Steam Has Done.

A very interesting calculation has
recently Eeen made by the Statistical
Bureau in Berlin. Four-fifths of tho
power machines at present in activity
in the world havo been erected during
the past twenty-five years. The coun-
try; which possesses the highest
amount of horse power is the United
States, with 10000 horse power;
then follow England, with 1000, 900;
Germany, with 4, 500, 900; France, with
100000, and Austro-H Hungary, with
100000. These figures do not in
clude locomotives, of which there are
100, 600 at work, with O. total horse
power of 3,000,000. Thus the total
horse power in the world is 46, OOO. 900.
A steam 'thorse power" is equivalent
to three actual horses strength, and
each living horse represents the
strength of seven men. Thus the
total horse power of the entire world
represents the work of 1000, 900. 600
men, or more than twice the total
working population of the earth.
Steam has thus tripled the entire
human work power of the earth
