FARMERS POSTING UP
Getting Ready to Furnish Reliable
Information for the Census.
Most Satisfactory Statement Comes
from WOman-Special Schedules Of
Cranberry Culture, Irrigation
and Nursery lndustries.

The efforts which Gov. Merriam, d.
rector Of the census, is making TO in
duce farmers 10 prepare statements of
their operations for the calendar year
1899, SO that they will be ready to re-
ply definitely and accurately to the
enumerator's questions next June, are
bearing fruit.
Some farmers have forwarded copies
of statements to the census Office, ac-
companied by inquiries as to their COM
pleteness and correctness. The first
and one of the best of these statements
came from woman who operates a
farm in Pennsylvania on her own ac-
count. The paper shows not only the
acreage, quantity and value Of each
crop, but contains also good inventory
OF live stock and detailed statement
of the quantity and value of the mis-
cellaneous articles produced.
If every farmer would initiate this
woman the agricultural report of the
twelfth census would be marvel of
completeness and accuracy and would
also show the entire productive
strength of the United States in food
products.
The special schedules for cranberry
culture and irrigation now in circula-
tion will be followed Immediately by
special nursery schedule which has
just been received from the printer.
The list of nurseries so far obtained in
cludes about 1000 separate establish
ments, but each known nursery man
will receive list of those doing busi-
ness in his vicinity and will be asked
to add to or otherwise correct 1t and
return it as soon as possible. n this
is promptly and thoroughly done, the
list will be complete and satisfactory.
The inquiries are to be simple, and if
the returns are made promptly the
publication of bulletin devoted to
nurseries at an early day may be an
ticipated.

MEDAL FOR SALOMON HEIRS
Congress Is to Compromise a Long,
Standing Claim Against the
United States.

Cangress is expected to give med
al to the heirs of Haym Solomon in
recognition of financial aid given by
him to the country during the revo-
lutionary war. The medal is regarded
as a compromise of claim for $780,
600 which has been before congress
since 1S4S.
The claim sets forth that Haym. Sal
omon, native of Poland. contributed
money for use in carrying on the war
of the revolution. He loaned from
time to time sums varying from $4,000
TO $4,000. without a consideration 1t

in this country. AS early as l775 he
became obnoxious to the British gov

FARMERS WAKING UP.
In All Parts of The Country rhey Are
Beginning 10 Take Interest in
Road improvements.

The progress in road building is
commendable, and we are sratited to
learn that our farmers are taking such
an interest in road building science.
The steel track is being given thor
ough test and the reports are quite
favorable on it. What seemed a mere
dream two years ago is now brought
within the realm of possibility. The
idea that it would pay to lay steel
rails for the use of ordinary wagons
seemed wild one, but now promises
to be of great value, at least in our
more thickly populated communities.
In the cities the wagons use the car
tracks extensively and horsetlesh is
saved thereby. On the country roads
the steel rails that are used for ordi-
nary traffic are wider than are the car
tracks in the cities, and their sides are
lower, making it easy to cross them
with a wagon. Their use prevents rut-
ting of the road in good or bad wealth
er and makes it possible to have a road
so narrow that the cost of construc-
tion and keeping in repair is greatly
reduced. The use of oil between the
tracks is being experimental with. At
the Iowa experimental station crude oil
is being used on some of the college
roads, and has thus far proved to be
effective in keeping moisture out OF
the soil that forms the roadbed. OF
course the action of frost will have to
be experienced and the action of SHOWS
and ice But whatever happens in
this particular instance, there is nc
doubt that the farming communities
are about to be brought nearer to.

If you have young calves in the win

put blankets on them.
There is always paying demand for

Never put a cow in a damp, dark
stable. She must have some light and
pure air and comfort, or you will be
the loser.
A well-fed, well-cared-for cow not

her. but she pays you good profit in
hard cash every week in her life.
1t pays to give cows water with the
chill taken off. There is no economy in
letting them drink ice-water in a cold
yard, and worse still to drive them to
a creek to drink.
Don't neglect the calves and heifers
They require especial care and atten.
tion. They should be kept clean by
brushing, and should be handled every
day to keep them gentle.

warm water for Cows.

AT the Wisconsin station Prof. King

warmed to a temperature of 20 degrees
F., was supplied to one lot of cows in
opposition to water at a temperature
of 80 degrees given second lot. In the
first trial the cows receiving the warm
water gave six per cent. more milk than
those getting cold water. while in the
second trial there is difference of only
one per cent. in favor of the warmer
water. The cows given the warm wa
ter drank from eight to ten pounds
more daily than those supplied with

said unto Him: Rabbi, we know that Thou
art teacner come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that Thou doest ex-

Verify, verify. say unto thee. except man
be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom OF
God.

a man be born when he Is old? Can he en-
ter the second time into his mothers womb.
and be born?
S. Jesus answered: Verify, verify. say
unto thee. except a man be born of water
and of the Spirit. he cannot enter into the
Kingdom of God.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The visit of Nicodemus belongs to the
early part of the first year of Jesus
ministry. 1t occurred about the time
of the passover in Jerusalem which was
April 9-16 in the year A. ID. 81. Only
part of the conversation between Jesus
and Nicodemus is included in the text
of the lesson, so verses 1921 should be
read and studied as being part of the
lesson. Taking, then, these 21 verses.
the teaching falls naturally into five
divisions:

nearly so. They had all been under
arms in Cronje's langer when it made
its last stand, fighting in different
trenches, and after the surrender they
naturally drifted together. They ex-
cited my interest, and talked with
them on several occasions during the

HOW ABOUT PEK1Ns

The republicans say that we
cannot haul down the flag when il
has once been hoisted. If that is
true, how are you going to get the
flag away from Pekin? Our sold
iers are there and carried the stars
and stripes with them, and if your
doctrine, that whenever the flag
floats over a. land the land cannot
be given back, is true, you cannot
get your soldiers away from Pekin;
and if you follow the doctrine that
you followed in Manila, you have
got to take the whole Chinese
empire, because we took all of the
islands of the Philippines, and, if
that doctrine is true, we have got
to take the 400,000,000 subjects
over there. 1t is thousand times
better to haul down the flag in the
Philippine Islands and raise the
flag Of the Philippians Republic,
than to change our flag from the
flag of the republic to the flag of
the empire, j. Bryan.

NEW FACTS ABOUT MALARIA.
what the Researches of "A German
Scientist In New Guiana
Have Revealed.

In recent issue of the Deutschs
NIetlizinische. Woekenschrift there is
an interesting account Of the discov-
cries made by Prof Koch in German
New Guinea in regard to malaria. The
professor began his Investigations at
Stephansort, and learned that 20 per
cent Of the population OF that place
were suffering from malaria. Out of
81 Europeans, 12 were sick; out of
240 Chinese, G3; out of 2O9 Malays,
50. and out of 264 Melanesians, 20. In
New Hanover not single Melanesian
was afflicted with the malady, where
as out Of 10 Melanesians of Gardner's
islands were i'll. In King Williams
Land, as in Java, Prof. Koch found q
large number of native children in
fected with the disease, and as re-
suit he maintains that only by thor
ough examination of the children can
it be ascertained whether any dis
trict is infected or not.
The entire coast Of King Williams
Land is, he thinks, infected, while
the ghDoring islands seem to be
more or less free from the disease.
The presence of malaria in some places
and not in others may De accounted
for in measure by the formation Of
the land and by the unusual activity
of the pestiferous Anophelis flies, 1t
would be unwise, however, says Prof.
Koch, to attach too much weight to
these factors. and especially to the
latter, since these flies are to be found
in regions which are wholly free from
malarin
