INTERESTING POINTS ABOUT
THE FARM CENSUS

Washington. Oct. III. S. Census
Director T.. Dana Durand hopes to
save several hundred thousand dollars
in taking the census OF agriculture
and also to increase the accuracy OF
the statistics.
The Director stated today that at
the census of 1900 the agricultural
data were handled by means of punch
ed cards. For ach farm a large num-
Der of cards had to be punched, as
the number of facts required regard
ing a farm was far greater than the
number of facts required regarding
an individual in the population cen
sus.
Director Durand said the statistics
of population and of agriculture are
collected by a different force from
that employed in gathering h Stats
tics of manufactures. The population
and agricultural data are secured by

graduation, as he had enough money

local Tory paper he began his career

roll was the munificent stipend of 10

Finding not only the salary made
quate to his needs, but the atmos-

London in search Of a chance to make
progress.

is known for his work in connection
with the advancement of the United
Irish League.
Mr.. O'Connor got his first material
start from his Life of Lord Beacons

hardly been issued from the press
when Disraeli died. The book was
quoted literally by the press of Eng

of such advertising O'Connor's ser

became in great demand.
After making a highly successful
lecture tou of the United States and
