Presidents Policy on Census
Patronage in South

Washington, July 14.-President
Taft discussed with his cabinet the
distribution of census patronage in
the South. The senator's of several
of the Southern states have recently
consulted with the president on this
subject and he has told them that in
q broad way his policy will be to
name enumerators and supervisors
without regard to political affiliations,
the desire being to get the best avail
able men for the responsible and diff
cult positions. The president will in
sist, however, that the men recon-
mended for these places by the South
ern senator's shall in no sense Of the
word be active partisans. The presi-
dent has told the senators that he
does not wish political capital made
of the appointments and If there is
any attempt to this end he will change
his policy forthwith. Republicans
and Democrats will share alike in
the appointments throughout the
South. In each instance they will
have to be men of standing in the
community, however, and must justify
their appointments by their own char.

ONE BREED ON THE FARM.
Poultry Can 30 Improved on the sams

Poultry Can 30 Improved on the sams
Idea ~ Stock.
The community idea might be work
ed a great deal more than 1t is in the
pure bred poultry business. Better
results could be had II the farmers
in a given locality would all keep one
breed Of poultry. If they would unite
on some good, popular, easy selling
breeds they would ind buyers much
more easily than where each man
keeps a different kind Of stock.
With dairy cattle this plan has work
ed wonderfully well for certain groups
Of farmers in various psrts of the
country. In Wisconsin there is a dairy
center where almost everybody keeps
Guernseys. In New York state there
is a region where dozens Of farmers
keep Holsteins. In northern New
Jersey there is another Guernsey cen
ter, and in various parts Of the
try there are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centers. In all these localities
there are hundreds Of pure bred ami
mails which can be seen in a few
hours. Such a condition becomes
known all over the country, and buy
ers travel hundreds Of miles. know
ing that If they do not find just what
they want at the first farm they are
likely to find it farther on in the same
neighborhood.
In southern Rhode Island breeders
in an accidental way kept a native
class of fowls which later were known
as Rhode Island Reds. When this
breed began to attract notice the. re.
gion was visited by scores of buyers,
who picked up every decent colored
bird at a fancy price. putting thousands
Of dollars into the hands Of the farm
crs that they never could have had ex-
pected for the demand at more than
market prices.
If fifty farmers in Il neighborhood
would unite on almost any poultry
breed there would be no difficulty
in finding Il market. A great many
breeders with q reputation and q
host Of regular customers would be
glad to know Of a locality where they
could buy what extra stock they need
to fill their orders. The farmers
could easily sell the stock themselves
to one of their number or through
one Of the New York or Boston con-
Germs which make a speciality Of
pure bred stock in large quantities.
It is not a very difficult matter for
the farmer to learn to sell his stock
on his w account. Fancy birds will
almost sell themselves.

Work at Present.
New York, July 14.-Optimistic
words uttered by James ]. Hill Of st.
Paul are the subject of much com
ment among 1nanciers. MI. Hill has
proved himself an excellent authority
on crop conditions and his remarks on
the subject are always read in New
York with interest. He says:
"We are going to have a good, big,
average crop. Not bumper crops, but
a good round yield, comparing well
with the average. The money value
will be larger than usual, for prices
will be higher. Corn is now selling
around Is cents in Nebraska and
wheat about S1.3O in Minneapolis. The
time of low prices for grain has
passed. A great deal of wealth will
be added to the farmers store by the
sale of crops this year.
"As for the business outlook there
Is no menace ahead. Good crops bring
ing high prices will help the manu-
featuring industries. There should be
a steady expansion in that line. Prob
ably it will receive some additional
stimulus after congress adjourns."

Mr.. Hill also doubted II it were true
that the Burlington was getting ready
to build a long extension from Chey-
enne, in the southeastern part ofsSNy-
oming. diagonally across the state to
connect with a branch nov operated
down Big Basin river to Kirby, Wyo.
"None of our lines are doing much
building now" he said, "nor is there
much work contemplated for the near
future"
