TAKING THE CENSUS.


The taking OF the census is enjoined |
by the Constitution, and it is work OF
the greatest public Importance, as up
on the enumeration the representation
OF the various states in Congress is
fixed. The census also furnishes
great mass OF useful and important
statistics which have a scientific,
economic and commercial value.
The work of taking the census of the
population is carried out at lesser or
greater interval In all civilized coun-
tries, but nowhere is the work so elab-
orately done as in the United States.
In fact, census taking has been carried
to an extravagant extent with Us, and
reform Is rather needed In the way OF
retrenchment than in the way OF ex-
pansion OF the matter covered by the
enumeration.
OF course, the primary purpose Of
census is to secure a count OF the popu-
lation and such other vital statistics
as are necessary to the proper govern
ment of the country. 1t is entirely
proper to add to these first essentials
certain crop and manufacturing Stats
tics, statistics of wealth and the like;
but it is entirely superhuous to endeav-
or to enumerate everything under the
sun, as our census management has at
tempted.
To such an extravagant extent has
the census been carried that it takes
nearly decade to compile the infor-
nation; hence much of the statistical
work ceases to be Of value because so
long time elapses before it is avail
able. Instead, therefore, of widening
the scope OF the census, it would be
wiser to restrict it, so that the entire
work can be finished within q reason
able time after the actual enumeration
is completed.
The census man is going round
| And questions he Is asking,
So many that his victims think
Their patience he is tasking
Each persons name he's writing down,
But that is just the starting
| A score of answers they must give
Ere from them he's departing.
| The question TO sex is put,
Then comes one more provoking,
| For every girl must tell her age
| And there must be no joking.
| No use to beat about the bush,
| The census man is pressing,
And from some 'shy young thing is forced
Confession that's distressing.
The married folks must make it known
How long they've been united,
| And those divorced are made to tell
| or wreck of love they plighted.
The children-bless their little hearts,
Look on with faces solemn,
For they don't understand just why
| They're put down in the column.
The place of birth must then be told,
In this or foreign nation,
An alien or a citizen,
And then comes occupation.
The answer as to knowledge gained
The census man will enter
| Then ask the family head II he
Is owner or renter.
The end is reached and then departs
The bland enumeration,
And some are sad because they met
This smooth interrogator.
They had to let some secrets out,
But there's one consolation
Ten years must come and go before
The next enumeration.

plete the farm, but rather improve

1
| 1t is to be supposed that the crops
have been secured in the best posi-.
bic manner for use, and that it is the
intention to make tie most from
them. To what use they shall be de-
voted will depend on the kind OF
farming pursued; whether dairying,
the production of beef, the raising of
horses. the keeping of sheep, or
whether system of mix~es farming il
followed. With any or all of these
branches there should be first of all
suitable accommodations, as much Of
the expected success viii depend in .
considerable measure on this.
Good barns and stables, sufficiently
warm, well lighted and ventilated,
with conveniences for feeding, means
good deal in the saving of labor and
comfort of animals, where the best
returns are expected for both feed
and care. This is imperative in the
eastern and central portions of the
United States and should be more fol-
lowed in the west and south if the
best success is hoped for. Some out
lay may be required at first in order
to secure these conditions, but it win
be of kind that viii pay, proving q
continual source of satisfaction and
profit to the owner, as well as of COM
fort to the animals under his care.
With these conditions the farmer il
to great extent independent of out
side influences. Be the weather what
it may his stock is safely sheltered
and properly fed and cared for, with
almost perfect immunity from the
casualties and losses that SO often
occur in those parts of the country
where there is no suitable provision
for the protection and care of ami
mails.
With these arrangements perfected
for the care of stock, there should be
a great saving of labor and fodder:
The last. being properly cured and |
cared for, can be fed to much better
advantage and with comparatively lit
tie loss. This will mean much to the
farmer in dollars and cents, as more
stock can be kept on the same feed
han by the old methods of feeding
'ut OF clovers, or in the fields.
Another thing: with this method Of
suitable quarters for stock viii come
'ther advantages that will be of value
% the farmer. There will be a bet
er class of animals kept, on which
o expend feed and care, and this will
mean better results in return. and

arnestly sought for as the end for
