IMPORTANT POINTS REGARDING THE CENSUS, Washington, I). 0., March 2, 1910. Letters from the census super visors to the United States Census Bureau show the erroneous appre hension of a considerable element of the population that t.h«ir an swers to the enumerator's ques tions in the next census, begin ning April loth, this year, will cause increased taxation, legal en tanglements or injurious conse* cjuences to their persons uinl prop erty. In order to quiet such unfound ed fears, which would, unless re moved, materially affect the accu racy of the census, the bureau has prepared an official statement rel ative to the decennial census, its origin, purp< sc and uses. This statement should furnish ■ complete assurance to those omi corned that information giyen the enumerators is held by the Census [ Bureau in the strictest confidence; wirh reference to the identity of the informants, as required by the; policy of the bureau and com manded by the law of the I uited btat ch. The bureau earnestly hopes that clergymen, priests, physicians, school teachers, employers and other public-spirited citizens who come in contact with large numb ers of people, will co-operate with the bureau by telling persons who are believed to entertain errone ous opinions of the census the real facts and urging them to giVe full replies to t lie enumerators. Teach ers are particularly requested to speak of the census to the .school children and ask them to tell their parents about it. The statement issued by the bn-; lean explains that, the Constitu tion requires a census of the pop-' ii lut ion to be taken every ten years in order to reapportion state representation in the National House of Representatives. It is the means also to ascertain the in crease in the population, agricul ture, industries ami resources of the nation since the lust census. It is emphatically declared by ! the statement that the iufonna-; t ion sought from the people of the 1 mted States is used solely for general statistical purposes. It will neither be published mu' used in any other way to disclose facts regarding any individual or enter prise. The census, it. goes on to say, is not, never has been, and j cannot be employed to obtain in- j formation t hat can be used in any way in the assessment of property for purposes of taxat ion or the col q lection of taxes, either national,; state or local, or for deportation | proceedings,ext rad it ion measures, army or navy conscription, inter nal-revenue investigations, com pulsory school attendance, child-! labor law prosecutions, quaran-j tine regulations or in any way to! affect the life, liberty or property! of any person. It points out that replies t > the enumerators are and must lie held by the Census Bureau in strict and absolute confidence. All the hu renu officials, supervisors, super visors' clerks, enumerators and in-j terpreters, before entering upon ! their duties, are obliged to take a solemn oath not to disclose anv information they may obtain, ex cept to the Census Bureau, and a violation of the United States law | in regard to this oath means a fI,OCX) line or imprisonment for two years, or both, in the discre tion of the court.

HINTS FOR STOCK OWNERS The air ships are flying high, but they cannot overtake pork. The humble pig has become the most important animal on the farm. March winds- whittle the flesh right off the cows. Keep them in I out of t he cold. We would not hear so much about pasteurizing in the cream ! erv if t here were a little more paster-ui/.ing in the dairy. The farm animals are shedding their coats, and the Peter Tumble down cows will soon show clean Hanks for the first time since last I fail. j If much chilled, the lamb should In* taken, at once to a warm room, and plunged in water as hot as tin* hand will stand. Then wrap the lamb in a hot flannel and rub it dry. If a ewe loses her lamb, she ! can l>e taught to mother a twin by : confuting her in a narrow stall. | A small quantity of oil-meal is a valued addition to the grain! ration at this time. Keep the pens level and dry. You can’t toughen a horse to the spring work in a day. Start in easy, llmik bow it is with! your own shoulders. Take pains to exercise the horses and harden them up before! the real spring work begins. This is necessary if you w ish to avoid delays and risks. Standing in the barn will spoil a horse sooner than good steady work. When you see his legs ; begin to stock up. hurryland g**t him to work at something, if it is nothing more than exercising m the yard every day. K-ep that up till you have some real business i to do.
