 With these ends in view, census takers were directed to return the names of heads of families and the numbers of free white males sixteen years old and over, free white males under sixteen, free white females, all other free persons, and slaves. In 1900 the inquiry was made in more detail in regard to age, but in other respects it's scope remained the same.
 In 1S10 the first census of manu- lecturers was taken. In lS2O the population inquiry was amplified to show the number of unnatural1zed foreigners in the country. In l84O school attendance and illiteracy were included in the population census. and the first census of agriculture was taken. And thereafter from decade to decade the field covered by the decennial census was enlarged until in 1910 the population schedule carried 30 inquiries; the general agri- cultural schedule 59 inquiries, the subdivisions of which numbered 560, and the general schedules used for manufacturers and for mines and ouarries, 50 inquiries each.
 In addition, numerous special schedules were used for various lines of manufacturing and mining indus frV.

spoil the flavor of the cream.
 When we come to the ,churnine process our old friend, the thermo
 meter, is again called into use. Ii the cream is too warm the butter will come soft; if the cream is put into the churn too cold, it will take 8 it will be too hard when it does come The proper temperature for churnine will vary from 52 degrees in the sum- mer to 62 degrees in the winter. The proper method is to bring the tenn perature to certain degree, say for example, 60 degrees, and churn. Ii the butter comes soft and hard to handle, lower the temperaturei of the cream a few degrees the next time say to 57 or 58 degrees. After a few trials anyone will be able to churn butter that will come firm and in small granules and still have come in a. reasonable time. The mark on many dairy thermometers that says "churning 62 degrees" is misleading. Under certain conditions this temper ature may be used, but more often a colder temperature is called for. Only by checking the temperature carefully each time can we be sure of getting butter to come in food condition. ~ Another place to use the thermo- meter to advantage is in noting the temperature of the wash water used for washing the butter. Cold water from the well will often be about right but it cannot always he relied upon The wash water should be about the same temperature as the buttermilk or a few degrees colder. To make the best butter the variation in temperature of wash water should not be more than four or five degrees from the temperature of the butter milk, and usually the variation should be below rather than above the buttermilk temperature.

tols and guns. Soon after daybreak on Christmas l day arrives the "Polaznik"-a des- ignation which may be translated as ''the conner" He is a young boy, usually from a nearby village. When the door is opened to him, he cries Christ is born!"-and, entering, throws handfuls of / wheat about Every one answers, 'He is born in truth" Then the "comer" goes to' the hearth, and with a shovel strikes showers of spark from the Yule log, saying, May you have during the year as many cattle, horses, sheep hogs and goats as there are sparks" Among the Viache-an ancient people widely scattered over the Cen tral Balkans-a big fire is made in each house on Christmas eve, to keep Christ warm. The ashes are not swept out of the hearth until Epi- phany, and meanwhile the fire must not be allowed to go out. Boys go round and knock at door after door with stick. in response to which gifts of cakes and nuts are bestowed upon them. Their leader carries at his waist long string, on which he | SA~A Ne~SAo shaped like doughnuts, with holes through the middle.

 {I>@ D,.N, Christmas is holy day, but not a holiday. Accordingly, New Years takes it's place as an occasion for frolics, family rejoicings and the giv- ing of gifts. The father of each fam ily, however poor, must give to his wife and to each of his children sum of money. The children's money. in peasant household, is put in an earthen jar and kept, so that when they are grown up there will be snug bit of capital to help start them in life.
 In the well-to-do classes every man is expected tol call /on all the ladies of his acquaintance, and in each in stance he must bring a gift. On his departure he finds the household ser wants all drawn up in row, and to each of them he gives money. This is repeated at every house he visits, so that the tax on his purse is likely to be not inconsiderable. But he can not fail to call upon any woman friend without risking the loss of her fffiendship and that of, her family as aspenalty.
 On returning from church, the head of the family breaks a pome- granite on the floor, to insure the good fortune and health of the household for the coming year. There is a feast of nuts, candied fruits figs and dates; and some of the nutshells are thrown into the corners to blind the evil one. At night big cake, in which twoe coins of gold, silver or1 copper have been baked. is cut in slices, one for each person. Those who get the coins are crowned king and queen.

Temperature a Factor
 In Making Good Butter

OftentimeS we hear buttermaker say, 'I had good luck with my but ter to-day" and often enough it is nothing but good luck when the but ter does come properly. However, there are buttermakers that always seem to have "good luck" When the source of that persons success is ana1yzed, it will be found almost thermometer is responsible for a considerable part of it.
 It is absolutely impossible to make g. uniform quality of butter without a guide as to temperature and the sooner the buttermaking public find it out, the better it will be for all concerned.
 To begin with the quality of .the butter does not depend entirely upon the churning process. The quality of the cream that goes into the churn is going to help determine the qual- ity of butter that will come out. One of the important factors in producing good cream is the temperature at which it is held. Cream never should be stored at a temperature higher than 50 degrees. Lower than that is better. If the cream is held at a higher temperature undesirable bac- terica1 action will take place and we will have had f1avors in the butter.
 Again we know that butter from "ripened' cream will be better flaw ored and that we will lose less fat in the butter milk when such cream is churned. To properly ripen cream we must sour it at the right tempera- ture which is 70 degrees. The sour ing process is brought about by the growing of certain desirable bactAria and these bacteria will only do well at 70 degrees. If our temperature runs much above or below that, other types of bacteria will develop and

CENSUS REPORTS SHOW GROWTH IN MANY BRANCHES

The nature and extent of some of the changes that have taken place in the United States during the last century, says the New York World are brought out in a striking man ner by a comparison of the census reports of hundred years ago with those of recent years The first cen sus of manufacturing industries ever taken in the United States or any other country was made in 1910, and the latest American census of such industries was that of 1915; each covered the operations of manufac- tturing establishments during the pre- ceding year.
 From 1909 the total value of man. ufactured products reported for the entire country was $128,00O,0O0; but the data were known to be far from complete. The compiler estimated the true value at approximately $173, 3,0O0,000. A century later the manufacturers of the country turned out products worth s20,672, ,00O,OOO about 120 times the estimate for 1909, and five years afterward, in 1914, the value of the output ap- proximated 40 times the 1909 total
 The manufacturers of 1909 were carried on largely in homes and in small shops on farms and planta- tions. This was especially true of the textile industries. According to the 1909 report. about 16,000,000 yards of cotton goods, 21,200,000 yards of fiaxen cloths, and 9.500,0OO yards of wooden cloth were of home manu- facture; and 22,1O0,000 yards of "blended and unnamed cloths and stuffs," mostly of home manufacture, are also shown.
 Cotton and Wool.
 The report is far irony complete in respect to the output of cotton and wooden manufacturing establish ments, only 147,O00 yards being shown for the former and 71,0OO yards for the latter. The total value of "all kinds of cloths, and stuffs'p is given as $3S,8O0,00G. Tn 1914 prac- tically all the textile goods made were produced in factories, and their value amounted to $1.69s,O00,O
 During the hundred years in which the value of products manufac ctured annually in the United States was multiplied by 12o, the population of the country increased from about 7,250,000 to nearly 92,000,00O.
 A comparison of the earlier cen- suses with the later throws some light on the extent to which the re- Iations between the federal govern ment and the people have become closer with the growth of the coun- try. In 1790, when the first census was taken, Uncle Sam was concerned chiefly in ascertaining first the total population of each state and of it's

The unusual enthusiasm created by the Columbia recording of Lazaro, the tenor seems to forecast an Amer ican conquest even greater than the European conquests of this remark able vocal phenomenon. It is difh- cult to say which of Lazaro's re- cordings is the best. but surely "Spirto Gentil," just announced by the Columbia Company, is not the least beautiful of them.

AMBULANCE CHASING"

A point upon which the layman falls foul of lawyers is the offense which,
 in legal parlance, is known as bar ratry, but which, because Sof its most characteristic modern manifestation, is usually called ambulance chasing Speaking broadly, this signifies solic- iting business or even artifcially stina- ulating it. Every profession has its prostitutes, but the law seems to have attracted an unusual quota. The "am- bulance chaser plays like a harpy upon the miseries of mankind. There are large firms, organized for this particular pur. ose, that do an enor-

stricken heart of Ferdinand, whose love for the faithless Leonora pleads against renunciation. The final evanescent dimuendo is master piece of soulful expression-the solemn hushed tones of Lazaro's s voice truly reflecting the poignant grief of great heart that has loved in vain.
 Included among late Columbia recordings is Grieg's Bridal Process sion.'' Princes Orchestra, always at it's best in descriptive melody, plays the 'capricious melody with full ap- preciation of the story it tells. There are humorous passages, denoting tIe gay repartee of the bridal party, and vivacious themes suggesting the pret- ty grace of the Norwegian dance The Bridal Procession is pleas ing example of the delightful rcman- ticism that characterizes the com positions of Grieg.
 Cupid has formed a. trust of ais own down in Kentucky and has cor ralled all the gir1s-sO at least late Columbia recording. "Oh Southern City (Send Us Some Beautiful Girls)" would indicate. To hear M. J. O'Connell singing this desperate ap peal to Tennessee for Southern beau- ties is to hear a tenor distress that would melt the heart of Alaska were it not so Imaginable.

Don't" TheA Irelo- dies of two Broadway sonyhits, 'This Great Big World Owes Me 8 Loving and "Brutus Caesar Anthony Lee are introduced. Tere is a one-step for the dancers who revel in ragtime syncopation.
 A splendid antidote for melancho- lia is recording of the Jolly Cop rersmfth.' just released by the Co., llumbia Graphophone company. The jovial, free-hearted song of the vil- lage coppersmith to the accompani- ment of his ringing anvil, intermingl- ing with the orchestra instruments produces most brilliant effect. Princes Orchestra plays and sings the selection with rollicking good cheer, plus it's usual skill.
