j The Census and the Poultry Parmer, i
- Western Record.
The following is one of t : he tra
ditions of a manufacturing firm-in
Glasgow, Scotland.
Thirty years ago, a barefooted,
ragged urchin presented himself
before the desk of the principal
partner and asked for work as an
errand bov.
^“There’s a deal o’ running to be
dune,” said Mr. Blank, jestingly
affecting a broad Scotch accent.
“Your qualification wud be a pair
o’ slioon.”
The boy with a grave nod dis
appeared. He lived by doing odd
jobs in the market, and slept un
der one of the stalls. Two months
passed before he saved enough
money to buy the shoes. Then he
presented himself before Mr.Blank
one morning and held out a pack
age.
‘I have the shoon, si” he said
quietly.
Oh! ’ ’ Mr. Blank with difficulty
recalled the circumstances. ‘ ‘You
want a place? Not in those rags
my lad. You would Disgrace this
house.”
The hoy hesitated a moment
and then went out without a word
Six months passed before he re
turned, decently clothed'in coarse
but new garments. Mr; Blank’s
interest was aroused. For the.
first time he looked at the boy at
tentively. His thin, bloodless face
showed that he had stinted him
self of food for months in order
to buy those clothes. The manu-
factuer now questioned' the hoy
carefully, and found to ’his regret
that he could _ neither read .nor
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with kn
cal treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken internal
ly in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful, It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Oat straw nearly half an inch
in diameter, with heads two feet
long, is certainly very wonderful,
grain, but the Dublin Courier
vouches for it as follows: “On
Friday last Mr. S. R. Watson, who
farms upon the plantation of Mr.
J. E. Smith on Buckeye, sent to
this office a bunch of the finest
oats we ever saw. The stalks were
five feet four inches high, and the
heeds ranged from nineteen inches
to two feet. The stalks are one
and one-quarter inches in circum
ference. Mr. Watson states that
he has three acres in oats as good
as the bunch he brought to this
office, and a field of wheat just as
good in proportion.”
“It is necessary that you should
do both before we could employ
you in carrying home packages,”
he said. “We have- no place for
you.’-’
The lad’s face grew paler; but,
without a word of complaint he
disappeared. He now went fif
teen miles into the country, and
found work in stables near to a
night school. At the end of the
year, he again presented himself
befort Mr. Blank.
“lean read and write,” he said
briefly.
“I gave him the place,” the em
ployer said, years afterward, ‘ ‘with
thp conyiqtion jbhatf im-^rocess of
time, he would take mine, if he
made up his mind to do it. Men
rise slowly in Scotch business
houses, but he is our chief fore
man.”
An extaordinary story comes
from New York: -A policy hold-
erin the New York Life-Insurance
Company had been sentenced to
death. Rather than carry the risk
on a sentenced man the company
setled the claim,which was for sev
eral thousand dollars, some days
prior to the date set for the execu
tion. This feature was a most
interesting one, but it paled into
insignificance beside the other
feature which was that the con
victed man appealed for a new
trial, got it and was acquitted.
A gentleman recently cured of
dyspepsia . gave the following ap-
Wliite Mail Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt by
the friends of M. A. Hogarty of
Lexington, Ky., when they saw he
was turning yellow. His - skin
slowly changed color, also his eyes,
and -he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors,
but without benefit. Then he was
advised to try Electric. Bitters,
the wonderful Stomach and Liver
remedy, and he writes: “After
taking two bottles I was wholly
cured.” A trial proves its match
less merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney ’troubles. Only 50c

Imports of foreign raw materi
als for use in manufacturing wili,
according to estimates of the Bu

a gain of $75,000,000 over last

American Agriculturist.
Other things being equal, the
business farmer succeeds, the care
less farmer complains of hard
times. An instance in point, the
poultry industry, whioh is includ
ed in the federal census which has
been taken during the past month
Many of the. enumerators experi
enced great difficulty in securing
intelligible data regarding this
important branch of farm work;
so necessary in enabling Statisti
cian Powbrs of the census bureau
to make up his agricultural figures.
If the farmers could be educated
to take note of their poultry and
poultry products, li£ says, two ob-
objects would be gained; not
only would the country have a
better cencus than we would get
concerning this item, but a great
service would be done the farmers
themselves. They would come to
realize the great value to them in
a financial way of this branch of
their business l
In many cases the poultry prod
ucts are largely consumed upon
the farm and the farmer does not
realize what a considerable por
tion of the food of his family
comes from this source, neither
does he appreciate the value of
the poultry and eggs which his
wife converts into groceries or
dress goods in the market town.
If accounts were kept of these
items by the farmer, a better ap
preciation of this important
branch of agriculture would come
to the farmers of the country, and
a better insight into the profits of
the year. One of our well-posted
farmer friends writes us that not
one in ten knows how many hens
he owns, and urges omitting this
schedule from the cencus. This
cannot be done, hut we hope the
final figures will accurately reflect
conditions, and that this census
year will mark a milestone in the
determination to more than ever
before gather up the loose ends of
the business into a compact Whole.
