Census of Live Stock.
The live stock interests of
United States are to be given
cial attention in the twelfth
sus. In previous enumeraiions
live stock on farms and raanges
have been enumerated on the farm
schedule, but all others live
have been disregarded. This lim¬
itation interferred with the
ness of the census figures and re
suited in misrepresentation of an
important element in
wealth. To remove the difficulty
congress has passed a law,
ed February i, 1900, which allows
the director of the census to col¬
lect “information concerning the
number and kinds of live stock not
on farms. » »
For this purpose a special sched¬
ule has been prepared, by the cen
sus office, on which all live stock
not on farms or ranges are to be re¬
ported by the barns or enclosures
in which they are kept. By com
bining the results of this schedule
with those on the farm schedule,
the office should obtain a full and
accurate picture of the live stock
conditions of the United States,
June 1, 1900.
This improvement will be of val¬
ue not merely for itself, but be¬
cause the department of agriculture
each year makes an enumeration or
estimate of the number nf liv»**r®ck
in the country, by correspondence
with its thousands of special agents
scattered over the United States.
Now in January, there are few
young animals, and prices of live
stock are high. For both reasons
the average valuation per head ob¬
tained by the department of agri¬
culture enumeration tends to ex¬
ceed the truth. On the other hand
that department confines its atten¬
tion to farms and ranges, omitting
live stocks in barns and enclosures.
Tlw lottor oloa- arc Tvoa ili * uil»»»*
more on the average per head than
the former. These two sources of
error thus to counterbalance.
The animals are to be classified
by age, somewhat as the people of
the United States, but of course
with much less detail. The spe¬
cial schedule classifies the neat cat¬
tle into these under one year and
those over one. The second class
is divided into steers, bulls and
cows, the steers being subdivided
into those one and under two, two
and under three, and over three ;
the cow’s being classified into those
one and under two, and those over
two, the latter being subdivided
into those kept for milk and those
not kept for milk.
Horses and mules are classified
as those under one, those one and
under two, and those over two.
Sheep are classified into those un¬
der one and over one, with the dis¬
tinction in the latter class into ew’es
and rams and wethers. The other
classes of live stock, namely, asses
and burros, swine and goats, are
not classified by age.
The object of this grouping
live stock is to furnish some basis
for estimating the probable increase
of horses, mules, cattle or sheep in
the near future. The widening
the inquiry to include live stock
not on farms or ranges has the
same end in view, namely, to af¬
ford a survey of the whole
stock interests ot the country,
since animals are constantly
ing from the farms or ranges to
barns or enclosures and back.

Roundlap Bales
Made Cotton Higher.
Wherever The American
Company’s Roundlap presses
operated last season higher
prevailed for cotton whether
round or square. In order to
cotton, square-bale buyers
obliged to pay more than the
ket price, and more than
was selling for in
towns where there was not a
lap plant. In some cases the
mium paid by square-box
in competition with Roundlap
during the greater part of the sea¬
son was as much as half a cent per
pound above the price ruling at
other old style gins in the • same
county. The inevitable result fol¬
lowed. Cotton (and the owner’s
trade with it) was drawn for long
distances to Roundlap points to the
profit of the entire community,
and at the expense of towns that
did not enjoy the advantages of
round bale competition.
The effect of such object lessons
has been a demand for Roundlap
presses for next season which will
tax the full capacity of the Ameri¬
can Cotton Company’s works run¬
ning day and night.

CHANGE.
There never was a sky so blue,
That clouds would not appear !
There never was a hope so bright,
1 hat in it lurks no fear ;
There was never yet a heart,
So filled with earthly joy,
Hut somehow, in its tinge of grief,
We felt the base alloy.
There never was a blossom fair,
That did not quickly fade ;
And change is written everywhere
On all that God has made.
But oh ! there is one blessed thing,
Our hearts may ever keep ;
It is our Father’s changeless love,
So broad, and fall, and deep,
Then let the sky be overcast,
, And joys of earth depart,
And shadows gather round our pYtk
Or even in our heart ;
But let us hold this treasure fast —
God’s, pure, unchanging love,
And storms shall only drive our bark
Inio the port aboge.
The Augusta Chronicle thinks this is the
time for the farmer to divefsify his ‘‘corps,’’
and the Star thinks maybe it is, too.
Candidates are now “budding out” just like
the trees in the forest, and the woods will soon

An Ohio editor says that hay lever is caus¬
ed by kissing grass widows. A Kentucky ed¬
itor says it is caused by a grass widow kissing
a fellow by moonlight. An Iowa editor says
•t is caused by the fellow kissing his girl while
he is feeding hay to a cow, and an eastern
Kansas exchange is of the opinion that it is
caused by missing the girl and kissing the
cow ; but our opinion is that it is caused by
kissing a young widow in ner "weeds.” Now,
what do you say about it, girls ?

Buller’s Bombast.
Maj. E. Taylor calls our atten¬
tion to a somewhat striking and no
less amusing parallel between the
English Gen. Buller, and the fed¬
eral Gen. John Pope, in the matter
of issuing general orders. It will
be recalled that in a recent general
order of Gen. Buller to his troops,
in South Africa, he told them that
hereafter the only command they
would receive from their officers
would be 4 4 advance, »* and that
there would be no turning back.
But witness his subsequent re¬
verses at Spion Kop, and retreat
across the Tugela river. This, says
the major, recalls a like piece of
bombast from Gen. John Pope, dur¬
ing our war between the states,
when he issued his order telling his
army that he had been heretofore
eommanding troops who had only
seen the backs of their enemies
(he had been transferred from the
army in the west to duty in the
east) and that his headquarters
would hereafter be in the saddle,
etc. Two days afterwards Gen. T.
J. Jackson, with his confederates,
struck Pope, at Slaughter’s Moun¬
tain, Culpepper county, Ya , rout¬
ed him, and kept him for two days
in such hurried retreat that his
headquarters were literally in the
saddle. Nor did he draw rein un¬
til he had put the Rappahannock
river behind him.—Henderson (N.
C.) Gold Leaf.
