CENSUS OF LIVE srock
VIII BE Given Special Attention In
The Twelfth Census.

The Twelfth Census.
The live stock interests Of The Unit,
cd States are to be given special at.
tentisn in the twelfth ceneus. IL
previous enuule rations the live stock
on farms and ranges have been emu
merated on the farm schedule, but al
other hTe stock have been disregard.
ed The Limitation interfe:ed with the
correctness OF the census figures and
resulted in Misrepresentation OF an
important element IN national wealth
To remove the difficulty, Congress
has passed a Law approved February
!, 1870, which allows the Director OF
the Census to collect Information
concerning the number and kinds OF
live stock not on farms
For this purpose q special schedule
has been prepared by tie Census or
flee, on which all live stock not on
farms or ranges are to be reported by
the barns or enclosures In which they
are kept. BY combining the results
Of this schedule With those OF the
farm schedule the office should OBJ
tain a full and accurate picture Of the
lire stock conditions Of the United
States, June /, 100.
This improvement viii be OF value
moi merely for itself. but because the
Department OF Agriculture escL year
makes an enumeration or estimate OF
the number OF livestock in the country
~ correspondence with its thousands
Of special agents all over the United
States. Nov in January there are
few young animals and the price Of
live stock Is high. For both easons
the average valuation per head OBJ
tanned by the Department OF Agucul-
ture enumeration tends TO exceed the
truth. Ou the other hand that de-
partment confines its attention ~
farms and ranges. emitting live
stock in barns and enclosures. The
latter class ara worth rather more
on the average than the former. These
two sources OF error thus tend { O
counterbalance.
The animals are classified by age
somewhat as the people Of the United
States, but Of course with much less
detail. The special schedule CLASH
fies the neat cattle into those under
L year and over one year. The
second class IL divided into steerz.
bulls and COVE, the steers being cub.
Owed into those under one, those one,
under two, two and under three; the
COVE being classified in those one and
under two, and those over two. the
latter being subdivided into those
kept for milk and thoee not kept for
milk.
Horses and mules are classified as
those under one. those one and under
two, and those over two, Sheep are
classified into those under one and
over one, with the distinction in the
latter class into ewes. rams and weth.
ers. The other class Of live stock,
namely, asses and burros. swine and
goats, are not classified by hge.
The object OF this grouping Of live
stock is to furnish some basis for e.
timating the probable increase OF
horses, mules, cattle or sheep in the
near future. Tho widening OF the in
quiry to include the live stock not On
the farms and ranges, has the ,ame
end IN view. namely, to afford a sur.
yey OF the whole live stock interests
OF the country, since live stock is con.
stantly passing from the range to the
barns and back again.-E1.

THE MARTIN couRr-MARr1AI.
Accused Officer Believed to BE n
Morphine Fiend

NEW YORK. June THE defence in
the court-martiaI trial Of Lieut.. Edward
H. Martin. of the Fifth Artillery, before
bringing its side of the case to close at
Fort Hamilton this afternoon. produced
testimony that the accused at certain
periods Of his army life had been addicted
to the use of morphine.
Lieutenant Martin then took the stand
in his own defence. He said the testimony
given by Lieutensnts Hall. Wilbur. and
Porter in regard to his use OF morphine
was true. He acquired the habit of using
the drug while cadet at West Point.
Martin further stated that when he
handed over the accounts to DR.. Porter
who succeeded him as treasurer of the
exchange, he asked him in what form ne
WAITED to have the funds on hand turned
over to him. DIR. Porter replied that he
preferred check and accordingly one
was given to him drawn on the Merchants'
Trust Company, of Manhattan. for 81 1872
When he gave the check he believed DR..
Porter would deposit it in his bank and
that when it reached the Trust Company
day or two later there would be suf-
heient funds on hand to make payment.
DIR. Porter. however. Immediately tried
to have it cashed and was informed that
it was worthless. While he was treasurer
OF the exchange Martin stated there was
never time that he was not financially
able to discharge his obligations Under
examination by the court Martin said that
he did not remember number of things
which he had done while treasurer Of the
exchange.
The case will be concluded tomorrow.
