ASKS FARMERS TO AID.
Director Wright Wants Assist
anCs in Compiling Cen
SuS Statistics.

Milwaukee. Wis, November 2, 1899
A. @. Wright, census supervisor for
Milwaukee county, has Il suggestion 10
make to farmers, which suggestion is ap
proved by the director Of the census. In
order that the agricultural statistics IN
the twelfth census may be valuable it is
asked by the department that farmers
cooperate and prepare statements Whlch
the enumerators can obtain when they
call next spring.
The government wants q lot Of infor
nation about the farmers and what they
are doing. The accuracy and value of
these statistics will depend largely upon
the farmers themselves. The census, M
Wright says, is like the government--'of
the people and by the people," Not only
IS information wanted about farmers.
but also about the market gardeners near
the city. So it suggested that during the
long winter evenings when the farmers
have not much to occupy their attention
they make out a balance sheet of their
business for 1899.
On the one hand data is wanted as to
the cost Of everything raised upon the
farm, the outlay for labor, seed, stock,
fertilizer, and in fact every item of eX
pense. This is to be balanced on the
other hand with a statement of the value
of all the products raised from the soil.
be they grain, garden truck. dairy prod
ucts or anything which brings in money
to the farmer Mr. Wright says the
taking of the census is really taking of
stock by the whole people of the country.
There is not only to be an enumeration of
the people, but figures are to be collect
ed which will show the material progress
made by the people of the United States
Every effort is to be made to let the
farmers know what the census depart
ment asks of them. What is said herein
is to be spread before the agricultural
classes in the weekly papers, the small
country papers and the agricultural pa
pers as well as the large dailies Mr.
Wright has assured the authorities at
Washington that Wisconsin farmers will
gladly aid the government in this matter
when they are informed of what is want
ed. The Wisconsin is the first paper in
this state to commence to spread this in

HATE THE GERMANS.
Expulsion of Danes from North
schleswig ArOuses Bitter Feel.
ing in Scandinavia.

Prof. George Brandes some time ago
agreed to visit Berlin and deliver an
address before the Press association of
that city, but later on declined TO keep
his engagement on account of the ex-
pulsion of Danes from North Schleswig
In an explanatory letter he says that
the Germans do not seem to realize the
bitter feeling which the expulsions
have excited through Scandinavia gen.
orally. He then writes: ut is precise.
ly because our government preserves
silence that the wounds caused to the
national feeling by these measures
burn the deeper into the hearts of the
people. The theory that an agitation is
being conducted from Copenhagen to
restore, by force if necessary, North
Schleswig to Denmark is too absurd to
require serious notice. In all Denmark
not single man thinks of such a thing.
But to-day one cannot denationalize a
people by force" The Danish inhabit-
ants of Schleswig, he goes on to say, do
not intend to give up their mother
tongue even should their children re-
ceive no instructions in it, nor do they
intend to renoance their right of free
ly conversing in Danish with their
brothers and sisters across the frontier.
Germans must also learn to understand
that just as they invoke the sympathy
of Europe in view Of the hard measures
enforced against the German tongue in
Bohemia and elsewhere, so too the
Danes, under similar conditions, plead
for the right of preserving the Danish
language, even though those who speak
it may be living in strange land.
