Farm Facts for the Census of 1910.

Farm Facts for the Census of 1910.
Washington, d. c., Dec. H.
United States Census Director Du-
rand states that the new inquiries in
the general agricultural schedule
for the census of 1910 are expected
to develop important data on the
questions whether or not the native
American farmer is holding his own
against the foreign born home max
er in this country; the age period
when the hired farm hand be-
comesan independent farmer him
self; the age when the tenant farm
er ceases to be a renter and be-
comes an independent farmer him.
ing other vital facts relative to the
social and industrial tendencies
among the millions of tillers of the
soil in the first decade of the TWEEN
tieth century.
The new questions were added to
the farm schedule by authority of
the act of congress providing for the
thirteenth and subsequent decennial
censuses, but United States Director
Durand was instructed to determine
the form and subdivision of the in
quiries-in other words, to frame
the main questions and the subin-
quiries concerning the So groups Of
topics embraced in the schedule.
The new inquiries fall into three
classes: First, those seeking infor-
nation not obtained by former Gen.
suses; second, those calling for
more extensive data on previous CEN
sus topics; and, finally, those con-
corning conditions or industries
which have arisen since the last
census.
In the first class are those in
quries concerning the age of the far
mer and the country of his birth /;
mortgage Indebtedness; acreage to
be planted to crops in the year 1910;
breed of purebred animals; and
acreage of mixed timothy and Glow
er hay.
In the second class the new ques-
tions provide for the separation oil

her of varieties of vegetables from

velOpes.

Relative to the rules of the post
Office department, pertaining es-
pecially to the holidays the at
tention of the public is called to the
regulations regarding tinsel postal
cards. The rules applying to these
state that each tinsel card must be
enclosed in sealed envelopes and
bear two-cent stamp on the out
side of the envelope. Hundreds OF
cards are mailed at the local post
Office which do not comply with the
regulations. Some are not enclosed
in envelopes, some carry only one
cent stamps, while still others have
the stamp on the card within the en-
velope. Many of these cards are
held at the postoffice at all times

calculate with reasonable accuracy

out of the ranks of the hired farm
hands" and becomes either a tenant
or owner Of farm, possessing his
own implements, machinery, live
stock and property.
The inquiry concerning the eoun-

also of great social significance.
The replies should show whether or
not the native American is holding
his own in agriculture
crops to be harvested in 1910 is an
important innovation.
The new inquiries concerning
wheat are expected to reveal the i'm
mense progress made in this great
crop. Fears that the supply will not
keep pace with the demand have
agitated the public from time to
time, but in late years great areas
have been added to the wheat acre
age, through the introduction of
new varieties of wheat which were
adapted to soil and climatic condi-
tons This is particularly true of
winter wheat which is to be listed
separately from common spring.

A NEGLECTED. DETAIL.
An Old Custom That Should Be Sys-

There's one much neglected detail
In the general routine of kitchen work
80 few housekeepers ever take it into
consideration at all-the rinsing Of
dishes. They make the demand Of
their servants that dishes be rinsed,
and they even provide the second large
dishpan or waiter for the very pur-
pose. Perchance they extract prom
ise from the lately hired domestic or
their confidence in tried and true
one bridges the difficulty.
But have you happened to see this
done, this rinsing, in some well regu-
lated households?
The extra pan is used or the waiter
even both may be called into service
but to what purpose when every dish
as it is washed is turned right side
down to drain, an old, old fashioned
custom which seems to have firmly
fastened itself upon the average house.
hold assistant.
Does the rinsing not take place even
tually? Oh, my, yes! The scaldi4g
water is religiously poured over the
dishes, cleansing the undersides Of
them and reheating them so that they
nre perfectly easy to polish. The con-
science of the promiser is easy as well,
but it remains for the housekeeper to
suggest the upturning of her dishes.
