Farm Census Statistics.

In taking the next census especial
attention will be given to the gather
ing of farm statistics.
In addition to ascertaining the acre
age and value of each farm, the census
man will make inquiry concerning the
acreage and value of each crop raised
on the farm during the season of 1909,
the number and value of all domestic
animals, poultry and swarms of bees
on the farm April Is, 1910, also the
number and value of young animals,
such as calves, colts, lambs, pigs, and
of young fowls, such as chickens, tur-
keys, ducks, ETC., raised on the farm
in 1909
The law requires a report of the
number of COWS kept for dairy pur-
poses in 1909 and the total estimated
amount of milk produced on the farm;
also the amount received from such
sale. In addition to the inquiry re-
garding animals, ETC., on the farm.
April Is, 1909, the census will seek
to ascertain the quantity and value of
all eggs, honey and wax produced on
the farm in 1909. Of the expenditures
of the farm the census schedule will
call for a statement of the amount
paid farm labor, the amount paid
for feed for live stock and the amount
expended for fertilizers in 1910.

PRIEST FOR GOOD ROADS.
Smooth Highways in a Missouri COun
ty Preached by Father Placid.

Headed by Father Placid, superior
of the Conception monastery at Con-
ception, Mo-, in No6away county, the
township board of Jefferson township
has put fifty-siX of the seventy-eight
miles of road in the township under
system of dragging contracts. Farm
ers have been secured who will drag
the roads as often as required by the
supervisors at rates running from so
cents to Is cents a mile. A dragging
consists, under the contracts recently
let, of two rounds, or four times over.
When the plan was started Father
Placid, accompanied by the township
board, visited all the main travelled
roads of the township and selected the
sections which were in need of grad
ing and would need such improvement
before dragging could be effectively
started. The various supervisors were
then ordered to have these sections
graded.
1t is expected that after the grading
is completed it will cost an average
of $65 mile yearly to maintain the
roads in good shape. Father Placid
in sermon delivered at the monas-
terry urged his auditors to aid the
good roads movement.

IRRIGATION FOR SMALL FARMS.
Great Results FROM a Small Stream
at Little EXpense.

OF the various irrigation systems for
the small individual farmer the hy-
draulic ram, where it can be applied,
is perhaps the most attractive. The
use the ram pre-supposes the pres
ence of a WATERFALL not necessarily
cataract, but stream of water with
a fair fall, which might, as an eX-
ample, be used for running a grist
mill, says the American Cultivator.
The stream may be a very small
one, and still be capable of irrigating
a good-sized tract. In various irriga-
tion plants the water is pumped up by
rams into a reservoir eXcaVated on
clay hill or made by throwing a dam
across a ravine, and thus backing the
water UP into a little lake, its Stu
alton being higher than the land to be
irrigated. The water thus accumula-
ted for months is held until needed
when it is run through open bitches
on to the fields below the reservoir
level A tiny stream having flow OF
80 gallons a minute and a fall OF 20
feet will operate a ram that will pump
Is, 900 gallons day to height of 100
feet above the ram. This amount of
water stored as stated, will furnish all
the necessary irrigation for from ten
to fifteen acres. A ram of this size
takes it's water from a 4-lnch drive
pipe.
The improved rams of today open up
great possibilities for cheap water
supply Their first cost is very mod
crate, and they pump by water power,
requiring no attendant. They are man
ufactured of large capacity, and can
be relied upon for pumping water to
any desired elevation for 1rrlgaung
comparatively high lands. They are
made from a 3-inch size, using 3-gal-
Ions a minute, to duplex 12-inch ram
using two 12-inch drive pipes. One OF
the latter placed on stream having
a flow of 1900 gallons a minute, which
is, by the way, very small creek
with a 20-foot fall-will pump nearly
100000 gallons a day to height OF
100 feet above the ram. Such creeks
or branches with nearby irrigable
lands are very plentiful in any of the
hiIly sections of the country, and the
basis of certain wealth. 1t may be
necessary to construct small canal,
Just as in the establishment OF the old
fashioned overshoot mill wheel. In
fact, old, abandoned mill sites, where
much of the work has already been
done, can sometimes be utilized. Any
amount of fall, from four feet up to
40 feet, can be utilized. Incidentally,
water for house and stock can be pro-
vided.
1t may, therefore, pay to look into
the question of water supply on the
farm and to figure out plan to use
this greatest of natural resources.
The certainty of production and the
greatness of the yield under irrigation
make it worth while to go to consider
able trouble to benefit by the water
supply, if the farm is so fortunate to
have a good one. Even the flow from
a good-sized spring may be utilized.
In the West every opportunity for
using water in this way is quickly
grasped, and it is an astonishment to
the Eastern traveller to see with what
ease and at what little expense he
could have always used the waters of
the small stream flowing through his
farm back home.

HAIGHT.

The third quarterly meeting Tor
Freedom circuit will be held at the
parsonage, Freedom, this Saturday,
at II o'clock. DR.. REGISTER, of Baltl-
more district, will preach at Bethany
and st. James on Sunday following.
There has been very little frost so
far this season and not much damage
is done to vegetation, fortunately for
those who are not done cutting corn
and buckwheat. The latter. however,
is the shortest crop we have even
known, and will be scarcely worth
saving, which will be rather bad for
those who are fond of buckwheat
cakes.
The Republican candidates are very
much in evidence around here at this
time looking the field over, but don't
think their efforts will meet with much
success outside of their own party.
We have heard some talk lately or
dicker with Democrats on the amend
ment, which may be true, but we hope
Democrats will not be accessories to
any such schemes, and vote sol1dly Tor
the amendment, which, if they do, old
Maryland will be found in the column
of her sister states. of the South. We
consider this great question put be-
fore the people of this State to vote
upon is one of the cleanest, fairest
and most vital propositions ever sub
mitted to them before, and it should
receive the heartiest support of all who
consider the welfare of the great and
glorious old state.
Farmers are pretty we'll through
with wheat seeding, but there is a
great deal of rye to be sown yet. There
will be a larger acreage of rye sown
here than has been for some years,
as the demand for rye straw is very
great, and rye is higher than it has
been for a number of years, and we
believe there is more money in this
crop than in wheat.
The new church at Oakland Mills
will soon be completed, but we are
not advised what denomination Will
have control. The basement Of the
church will be fitted up for school
room and will be much better than
the hall where the sessions are being
held We would advise the parents to
see that their children have frost nails
in their shoes in the winter season,
as there will be danger of falling on
the ice, which when found does not
melt before spring.

SIMPLIFY.

October has come again and with
it has come balmy days and mild sun
shine.
Our farmers are about done cut
ting off corn and sowing grain.
The acreage sown to grain here will
be some what in excess of last year.
The corn crops will prove better in
both quantity and quality than was
earlier anticipated, but not much more
than half crop in many instances.
The early sown grain has come up
nicely. The ground has been in ex-
cellent condition for seeding, but is
needing rain now again. Those who
have apples this fall are gathering
them for sale and winter use.
Miss Edith, daughter of Andrew
Polster, aged 16 years, is quite i'll at
present. She has the sympathy of all
her friends and their sincere hopes
of her speedy recovery to health.
Mrs. Mary A. Shipley and Mrs. Mary
A. Hook, two of our most highly es-
teemed aged ladies, are each confined
to their homes on account of failing
health. They both have suffered
slight strokes of paralysis. They too
have our united sympathy and good
wishes.

tent judges present from the Mary
land Agricultural College to inspect
and award prizes in the form OF rib
bons for the various degrees of merit,
the blue ribbon being the highest
award of honor; red ribbon second
highest award of honor, etc. Octo-
ber 80, commencing at p. M, is to
be the banner day. Prominent speak
ers from Westminster and elsewhere
are expected to be present at p. m.
on the 10Th and deliver interesting
speeches upon agricultural products.
The ladies of the grange will con-
duct an ice cream festival on each
evening of the 29th and 30th, and they
expect to have on hand many choice
and fancy cakes to be judged and
awarded with merited honors.
The neighboring grange lodges and
the public in general are invited to
attend on said days and they have the
privilege of offering any farm pro-
duct of their own production as an
exhibit for merited prizes of honor.
We had our first heavy frost here
on the 5th inst, but it has not done
much damage yet.
