FIFTY-NINE QUESTIONS
To Be Asked Farmers in Taking Spe-
 ciaI Census.

What the census bureau fails to learn about the farmer and his busi- ness will be relatively unimportant if the census agents are able to secure answers to all the questions contained in the general farm schedule that has been prepared for use by them. This schedule alone contains 59 questions, covering a range of matters varying to inquiry as to the number of mules that were born on his place during the past year.
 The census bureau wants to know the total number Of acres in the farm, number of acres of improved land. number of acres of woodland, total value of the farm, value of all build ings. mortgage indebtedness on April 5,1910, also, among various other things, what the estimated value of house rent and board furnished farm laborers in 1909, in addition to their wages, was, and what amount was spent for hay, grain and other produce not raised on the farm for use as feed to domestic animals and poultry Other questions to be asked are how many domestic animals were pur- chased, sold alive and slaughtered dur ing 1909, how many domestic animals were pastured or boarded, wool and mohair shorn during the same period, fowls and eggs produced during the year, etc, etc, etc
 The questions also cover the amount of fruit products, forest products, flow CTS and nursery stock Under these general heads the farmer is to be asked the value of all firewood, fenc- ing material, logs, railroad ties, tele- graph and telephone poles, materials for barrels, bark, naval stores, cider. vinegar. raisins, dried grapes. olive oil barley. corn. hay, trees, shrubs, plants, cornstalks and leaves that were pro duced on his place last year. The above is simply a brief outline of what they are going to ask the farmer to tell Each of the 59 general questions is subdivided, some to great and oth- CTS to lesser extent. The census taker and the farmer are going to have a great time when they get together.
 The information reported will under all circumstances be regarded as strictly confidential and will not be used as a basis of taxation nor com municated to any assessor.

Politicians from Twenty-Eishth Dis trict Anxious to Secure Consent of Local Capitalist.

Hon. George A. Hammond of Putnam for state senator to represent the Twenty-eighth district in the next leg islature is a proposal finding much favor in MT. Hammond's home town. and it is believed will prove popular throughout the district.
 Under the rotation system of select ing candidates for state senator from the towns in this district Putnam will have the call this year. With that in mind, Mir. Hammonds friends have urged him to come out for the nomi- nation, and it is believed that he is considering the proposition in a favor able light.
 MT. Hammond has had previous ex- perience in the legislature, has the time. ability and other requisites de- sirabIe in a candidate to fill the office. He has represented Putnam in four legislatures. beginning with the session of 1876, held in the old capitol in Hartford. He was returned in 1885 and again in 1886, his final sitting as a member Of the house being during the session of 1905. His capabilities were recognized in all those sessions, for he was twice named as member Of the important committee on rail- roads and three times as a member of the committee on manufactures, be sides serving on other important com mittees.
 His service to the republican party includes ten years as a state central committeeman and the honor of being one of the presidential electors at the time Mckinley was elected. His friends want him to have the senator ship a rounding out compliment to his political service and career. MT. Hammond who is a Civil war veteran. having served in Company G, Twenty sixth Connecticut volunteers, is one of Putnam's representative men. His To- cal business interests include the Hammond & Knowlton company, Eu- reka Silk company, Hampton Silk company and Putnam Box company, corporations doing an approximate ag- gregate business in excess of a million a year and giving employment to a large number. He is as well known as the next man in Wfndham county and has a host of friends who would like to see him go to Hartford as the sen ator from the Twenty eighth.

Thurs day afternoon, when, after snowbalI- ing Percy Brown. driver for the Ad- ans Express Co.,, they claim they were shot at by him, and that one of the bullets whizzed by the head of young Myers, penetrating the door of the freight house, and was later picked up inside the building.
 The first shot, the boys say they regarded as from a blank cartridge, and that they did not make much of an attempt to get out of the way. A few minutes later when Brown again drove back and they again threw snowballs at him, two more shots rang out and they heard the hum of the heavy bullet. shot, it was later learned from a 3S-caliber revolver. The last bullet passed within a few inches of Myers head.
 Brown has a license to carry a re- volver. He said Thursday night that he lost his head at the time of the incident and that he was sorry the shooting had occurred.
