CENSUS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Requirements of the Law in Regard to
Statistics.


Statistics.
The law requires the statistics for the
18th census of dairy products (farm
and factory to DO taken on separate
schedules.
The division of agriculture will take
the amounts of milk and cream pro.
duced and sold, and the amount OF
money received from their sales; alsc
the quantity and value OF all the but.
ter and cheese made CT the farm.
On the Manufacture schdule will be
taken the quantity OF butter and cheese
made in factories, cooperative and 9th.
erwise, together with the quantity and
cost of raw materials (milk and cream J,
cost of labor, capital invested, charac.
ter and value OF plant and machinery,
etc.
After the two forms of schedules
shall have been returned to the census
Office in Washington, the like statistics
of dairy products on each will be con-
solidated, and thus show, what never
heretofore has been shown, the total
yield OF milk in the United States and
the amounts and values of its several
porducts.
This assertion is based ON the as
sumption that the farmers shall ful
nish to the enumerators, fully and ac-
curately, the information which the
schedules may call for.
In some sections the records of
cheese factory and creamery operations
for the current year are destroyed,
agreeably to previous vote of directors
or patrons. For 1899 they should vote,
instead, to have prepared and preserved
for the use of the census enumerators,
who will appear on June l, 1900, the
statistics which the law says shall be
gathered.
In many cases a failure to do this
will prevent the enumerators from Sc
curing any returns, because new man.
ayers, or new secretaries, or new boards
OF control may be in charge on June !,
1900, who will know nothing OF the
factory statistics of lS99-and the fig
ures for 1899 are the ones which the
law says shall be taken.
Farmers who keep no records OF their
transactions will find themselves in the
same dilemma, on the arrival of the
census enumerator, as factory which
destroys its records. Therefore, Chief
Statistician Powers is appealing to all
OF them to prepare in writing,
while the necessary facts are fresh
in mind, such statement of milk,
cream, butter and cheese products as
will enable them to reply promptly and
accurately to the inquiries which the
law says the enumerators must make.
If they shall fail to do this, the sta
tistics of dairy products in their coun-
ty will be incomplete, and will COM
pare unfavorably with those of counties
wherein the returns are more accurate.

1t is too often the case that college
athletics are carried on almost solely
for the purpose of achieving victory in
intercollegiate contests. TraSping is
often governed by the desires or pros
poets of victory rather than for the de-
velopment and recreation it brings to
the student. The victory and not the
benefits of preparing for a contest is
the incentive. This is evident not only
in the manner of training but in the
manner of accepting victory or defeat.
Our victors are frantically jubilant and
our vanquished are hopelessly despond
ent.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Herald
Gays: Considerable interest has been
created among investors by the an.

of these bonds are held in this city, but

tons of the state of Virginia.
Under what was know as the Riddle
berger law, in 1882. contract was
given by Virginia to the Kendall Bank
Note Company, of this city, for 8 per
cent bonds, which were to be used in
refunding the state debt. Ninety days
after the contract had been awarded,
special session of the legislature an.
nulled the Riddleberger law. How
ever, bonds having face value of
$4,000 were expressed to Rich
mond and were refused. Later they
were sold for the charges. In whose
hands the paper fell is not known.
Attempts were made to recover the
bonds, but without success. For more
than year, however, banks in the
North and West have heard much Of
the forged bonds. 1t is said that in st.
