Points Regarding The Census


The censue begins April Is, and
must be completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed Omitted State g
Census, 1910.
The law requires every adult
person to furnish the prescribed
information, but also provides
that it shall be treated confidenti-
ally, SO that no injury can come to
any person from answering the
questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to the
18th, will distribute to every farm
owner and tenant in this state a
blank or schedule containing the
Census questions relative to farm
operations and equipment. This
should be filed up, if possible, not
later than the morning of April Is,
but if anyone has been unable to
fill it up by that time, he should
do SO as soon afterwards as he can
People who do not speak Eng
lish or who do not understand the
schedule completely should get
help from others, if possible, in
filling it up. -'
The President has issued a pro-
clamation, calling on all citizens
to cooperate with the Census and
as suring them that it..has nothing
to do with taxation, army or jury
service, compulsory school attend
q nee, regulation of immigration,
or enforcement of any law, and
no enc can he injured by answer
Ing the inquil les.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that the farm census of this state
be complete and correct.
Therefore every farm owner and
tenant should promptly, fully and
accurately fill up the advance
Farm Schedule" and carefully pre-
serve it for the enumerator when
he calls.

A farm with bad roads is worse or

A farm with bad roads is worse off

Instead of being an injury a good

Corn fodder is one of the greatest

Seed corn should always be stored

to require the shortest time for fixa-

of storing must be dry and well ven-

The ordinary run of wheat screen

Alfalfa is making good in the states

Salt added to fresh manure when in
large heaps in the field four quarts per
cord would not improve it 1t would
take up moisture and would tend to
prevent heating, but nothing could be
gained under the circumstances, while
the salt itself does more harm than
good to some crops. If salt is to be
tried better way would be to
sprinkle a little in the manure cutters

might otherwise go to waste But un.

thus injure the looksx of the post. On
the other hand, holes through the
posts weaken them, an& therefore this
method is, in general, Unsatisfactory.
The simplest, easiest, and cheapest
way of fastening wire hence to a
concrete post is by Sencircling the post
with wire one size less than the
corresponding wire in the fencA prop
er and by twisting this wire around
the strand of the fence. This is done
in two ways. The fastening wire Ms
placed around the post, twisted UPON
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of the fastening wire is twist
ed around the fence wire, and the
free end is then carried around the
post and twisted on the other side to
the same wire. Either plan is good,
but care must be taken to draw the
fastening wire tight, or else stock
trying to get through the fence may
raise or crush down the fencing with
their heads. If any trouble is expe-
rienced the post should be roughened
at the fastening point with a cold
chisel.
Expansion and contraction of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks"
in the wovenwire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires, as tight as necessary Wooden
mailing strips should never be EN-
bedded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con-

Numerous Methods Of Fastening

There are numerous methods Of at

posts. Some makers place staples or
wire loops in the green concrete; 9TH
ers make holes in the posts. The
former method is not desirable be-
cause the fastener cannot be located
exactly where the wire of the fencing
will come when the post is set in the
ground; then, too, the fastener will
