THE CENSUS IN THE COUNTRY.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, Snperinten
dent of the censns, with a view to secur
ing greater accuracy and uniformity m
the flgricnlinral statistics to be compil
ed for the tenth censtis baa just issued a
circular setting forth the aims and
■wishes of the burea with regard to the
method of arranging snch statistics. As
the ennmeration of the c ensus of 1380
commences on the first of Jnne and
closes on orbeforethe30tu,nll the crops
which are gathered once a year will fall
pretty clearly on one side or the other
bf the dividing line. Thus the cotton
crop reported in the census will be that
of 1879, gathered in the fall of that year;
while the wool dip or “wool 1 *crop”£will
be that of the. spring of 1880, except in
■ portions of California andT exas, where
both a full and a spring clip are
secured. For certain of the produc
tions ;of agriculture, however, there is
no harvest iu the usual sense of that
term, but the product is gathered week
- urday by day as itmatures. Milk, but
ter, cheese and meat fall into this class.
Iu view of the requirements of the law,
and of the great importance of accurate
statistical information relative to agri
culture, it is deemed highly desirable
that farmers should prepare themselves
\ iil advance to give the information with
promptness and accuracy. It is urgent
ly recommended, therefore, that agri
cultural journals and the officials of ag
ricultural societies and clubs give pub-
publicity to the announcement, and that
all persons engaged in agriculture who
shall receive this circular or see it
the public prints make notes from time
to time of the quantities and values of
their several crops gathered, and the
number of acres of land planted, and
produce of the daily, vineyard,orchard,
etc., in order that their statements when
made to the enumerators may bo of the
highest potsible value.
Bahn Weevils.—Several correspond
edts informed the American. Agricultu
rist of their methods of ridding their
bams or weevils. One used slaked lime
dusting the bins before putting in the
grain, and, also, after removing it.
Another used lime and leaves of the
ohioa tree, without effect, the weevils
seeming to increase. Noticing the
strong odor of fig leaves, be spread
some on top of the wheat and in less
than a week there was not a weevil to
be found. The past spring he tried fig
leaves npon cucumbeis and squaBlies; a
single leaf was placed in each hill and
these were no striped bugs to be fouu
tbe next morning.” The correspondent
who gave this information is Mr. 8.
Hurpold, of Ellis county, Texas.
Theso leaves are easily obtained all over
the South. Perphaps this information
will induce those who have not cultivated
fig trees for their delicious fruit to do
tp, to get rid of the wee-devils which
destroy so much wheat, and the innu
merable bugs which commit such dep
redation in their gardens.
The war between tbe Unaerwoods and
the Holbrooks, of Kentucky, is about
over, not because the two f unities have
declared peace, but because of the want
of men on the Underwod side. Jisse
Underwood was killed while standing
in his father’s front door, a day or two
ago, by Ihe Holbrook crowd, making
foui of the Underwoods who have been
shot to death by tbe Holbrooks within
- the last three months. No one has
been arrested or prosecuted for all of
jThese murders, and prabibly nothing
.will be done towards bringing the mur
derers to justice. A family fued has ex
isted between the Underwoods and
Holbrooks for many years, and their
history is marked by many deeds of vio
lence and bloodshed. They belong to
a class that is a curse to any communi
ty, and the killing of all of the male
members of one uf the familes will per
haps, be regarded as a blessing by the
people of the neighborhood in which
they lived.
At The South.— The Philadelphia
Jiortk American Bays;. “Thera is very
little doubt that cotton manufacturing in
tho North will becomentbingof the past
within a generation after prosperity
i,s restored in the south. It will no long
er pay to carry the raw material hun
dreds of miles and transport coal and
supplies to the colder climate of the
North, when both can be saved by the
erection’ of factories on the spot. New
England will loose her cotton mills, just
as she lost her glass factories, when the
manufacture was begun at Pittsburg,
End the freight on coal and sand saved.
The future of the South is in her own
hands, and she alone holds control of
her destiny.
^ , ,i
To BEHOVE WABTS.—Waits, can be ea
sily removed without danger by tbe use
of caustics and acids. Care must be
taken not to have the ingredients too
strong. A mixture of 20 grains of the
nitrate of silver and two ounces of wa
ter would make the right strength.
Another good receipt is the mixture of
any given quantity of nitric acid with
four times the quantity of water. Ap-
plv either to the surface of the wart,
this corrods the outer surface. Contin
ue this without cutting the wart and
see that the mixture does not eat into
the flesh and it will soon be cured.

It is an established fact tbat^Quinine

this purpose there is nc better remedy.
But it is also an established fact that
they do not remove the cause that pro
duces the Chilis. For if they did, the
Chills would not return on the 7th, 14th,
21st or 28th day. Then is it not money
LOST to attempt to permanently cure
the Chills with Quinine or Cinchonidia,
when they do not remove the cause
fromMhe system that produce* them?
For until the cause is removed, the
Chills will reiurn. The
FERRINE
Is warranted to remove every cause from
the system that produces the Chills, and
if it fails to do this you will sustain no
loss, for every druggist is authorized to
guarantej a permanent cure in every
case, no matter of how long standing,
and will refund the money if the Chills
return alter you are through taking.—
Positively, no cure, no pay. Try it and
