James J. Hill’s Idea of a Farm.
There will be much discussion of
farming for the next few months front
many angles one among them being
the most useful size of farms. We do
not wish to be one sided and shall al
ways state fairly the large farm or
combination arguments, hut It seems
tu uh that farming in thin respect is
the exception among business. Econ
omy In the cost of supervision Is the
only reason for the expansion of the
unit in any business, anti land is
more productive under the small farm
system. Even if larger farm units
ate possible they are not desirable.
We do not want the European reg
ime of an overload with tenant farm
ets. We want the greatest number
<f Independent little farmers, who
hardly need even one farm hand.

CENSUS REPORTS ARE TO
INCLUDE FARM FIGURES
Farmers are Asked to Keep Record
of Their Belongings and Sales, so
Guess-Work May be Eliminated.
Washington, I). C., September 4. —
It will be suggested by U. S. Census
Director to the farmers all over the
country that the work of securing
accurate returns at the coming cen
sus of agriculture will be greatly fa
cilitated if the farmers will keep or
provide some sort of written record
;>f their farm operations during the
year, 1'909. This effort to secure the
Ortners' personal cooperation is but
one of a number of ways and means
chosen by Director Durand in the
effort to secure an accurate, expe
rt Dlous and ceomi ideal census con
cerning population, agriculture, man
ufacturing, mines and quarries, which
are the subjects of inquiry defined in
tile Census Law.
Notwithstanding the value of the
population returns for the political
purpose of reapporl louing represen
tation in the Congress of the United
Slates and of the statistical infor
mation derived from an analysis of
the population details, the census of
agricultural, of all the subjects in the
Census law, is regarded as of the
gr< atest importance.
The Twelfth Census reported a to
tal fixed capital of $5,046,939,516.00
Invested in manufactures. The cor
responding total for agriculture was
$20,514,001,838.00 or more than four
times that of manufacturers. A more
conservative estimate, based upon a
different standard of comparison, al
so used by the Census Bureau, places
the investment in agriculture as more
than twice that of manufactures.
In 1900 tfie Census found 5,739.-
. 657 farms, an increaHe of 1.175,0 n;
over Hie total of 1800. The 1890
figures were 55,734 higher than
the number of farms counted in the
1800 census. Taking the Increase be
tween 1890 and 1900 and adding
that number to the total reported for
1900, an estimated or approximate
number of farms existing at the time
of tile Thirteenth Census may be
ascertained; the process of calcu
lation being that called "arithmeti-
I cal progression,” the method chosen
by the majority of statisticians and
also used by the Census Bureau.
Therefore the 1910 total should
reach 5,914.673, or roughly, about
: 6,000.600 farms, which is the number
estimated by Chief Statistician Pow
ers. There were 10,433.188 males
and females over 10 years of age
June 1, 1900, engaged in agricultu
ral pursuits. Prof. Powers believes
th< 1910 census will swell that num
; her to the extent of several millions.
The magnitude of these figures
makes it evident that the importance
of the agricultural census hardly can
be over estimated. Hence the solic
itude of Census Director Durand and
Chief Statistician Powers, in charge
of the Census Division of Agrieul
j tore.
Director Durand believes that great
good will bo accomplished by get
ting into direct contact wid coopera
tion with the farmers. Some of the
in-trumentalities which will be used
by him and which promise practi
cal results are. the State Commission
ers and State Boards of Agriculture,
the State Agricultural Colleges, the
Agricultural Experiment Stations,
and Farmers’ t'nions. Added to these
will be the daily newspapers, the
country press, and the farmers’ publi
cations.
It is estimated that millions of
farmers will be reached at their
homes or at their mutual improve
ment meetings by the contemplated
method of circulating preparatory in
formation.
Farm economists and scientists
learned in agricultural problems, ap
pointed as expert special agents for
a brief term, are now in Washing
ton assisting Director Durand-and his
staff in the information of the agri
cultural schedule so that the ques
tions to be asked by the enumera
tors shall be easily comprehended
and so draw out the Information or
dered by Congress to be ascertain
ed.
At the same time these practical
steps are being taken by the Census
Bureau, the farmers themselves will
be called upon to help push the sta
tistical plow over the country wide
field of farm data. They will be re
minded that an accurate and practi
cal census is the only one worth
while.
In addition to the direct appeal
to the tarmres. Census Director Du
rand will inform them that the Thir
teenth I'uited States Census law re
quires that the agricultural census
to be taken at the same time, April
15, 1910 os the count of popualtion.
Tlte question about farm operations
will relate to the present calendar
y< ar. 1909. but on the other hand,
the inquiries regarding farm equip
ment are directed toward the farm
ers’ possessions of this kind on the
day and date' of the enumeration.
April 15. 1910. The latter division
of the inquiry really tuMwnts to aq
inventory.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909.
The necessity for some written or
pt rmanent record by the farmers
themselves of farm operations is ob
vious and its value in furnishing
data more reliable than guesswork
In order that the farmers may be
gin at once. Director Durand indi
cates as follows, what operations are
to be recorded, although the sched
ule is still in incomplete shape.
“‘Each person in charge of a farm
will be asked to state the acreage
and value of his farm; that is, the
acreage and value of the land kept
and cultivated by him; also the area
of land in his farm covered with
woodland; and finally, that which
is utilized for specified farm pur
poses.
“Each farmer will be asked to give
the acreage, quantity produced and
value of each crop, including grains,
hay, vegetables, fruits, cotton, tobac
co, etc,, raised in the farm in the
season of 1909.
“Each farmer will be asked to
report the number and value of all
domestic. animals, poultry, and
swarms of bees on the farm April
15, 1910; also the number and val
ue of young animals, such as calves,
colts, lambs, pigs; and of young
fowls, such as chickens, turkeys
ducks, etc., raised on the farm in
1909, He will be further asked to
state the number and kind of ani
mals sold during 1909 and the re
ceipts from each sale, the number
purchased and tile amount paid there
for; and also the number slaughtered
for food and the value of such ani
mals.
“’The law requires a report of the
number of cows kept for dairy pur
poses in 1909, and the total estimat
ed amount of milk produced on the
farm; also the amount of butter and
cheese sold and the amount receiv
' od from such sale.
“In addition to the inquiry regard
ing animals, etc., on the farm April
15, 1910, as explained previously,
the Census will seek to ascertain the
quantity and value of all eggs, hon
ey, and wax produced on the farm
lin 1909.
"Os the expenditures of the farm,
; the Census schedule will call for a
i statement of the amount paid farm
labor; the amount paid for feed; for
; live stock; and the amount expended
■ f< r fertilizers in 1909.
‘ "If the farm changes owners or
j tenants between the crop year, 1905
and the date of enumeration, April
15, 1910, it is requested that the
occupant of the farm in 1910 shall
! secure the above information relat
ing to the farm for the proceeding
year, 1909. The owner or tenant
■ this year should leave his book re
i cord with his successor.’’
The Census act provides that the
information shall be used only for
the statistical purposes for which it
:is supplied. “No publication shall
be made by the Census Office where
by the data furnished by any partic-'
t lar establishment can be identified,
i or shall the Director of the Census
permit anyone other than the sworn
employes of the Census Office to
examine the individual reports.”
Furthermore, the information re
ported on the agricultural schedule
will not be used as a basis of tax
ation or communicated to any assess
or.
The act also states the fines or
firms of imprisonment or both in
cases of violation of the secrecy im
posed upon supervisors, enumera
tors, special agents, or other em
ployees. It provides a penalty for
I also answers or for refusal to an
swer.
Director Durand wants the farm
ers to keep books this year so that
guesswork and recollections will be
ili initiated as far as possible from
the Thirteenth Census and the farm
< r s’ organizations are coining to the
front with cheering offers of co-op
eration toward producing a practical
useful and believable census of
America's farm population, opera
tions and wealth.

UNIMPRESSIONABLE
BARRIHGTON.
A Scheme That Did Not Turn Out
as Was Planned.
By RICHARD BARKER SHELTON.
(Copyright, 1909,, by Associated Literary
press.!
“You must be very nice to her, Ted,”
said Mrs. Wainwright thoughtfully.
“Indeed, you must monopolize her
while she’s here.”
Ted Barrington blew out a cloud of
smoke and smiled lazily.
“Must 1, now. Annette?” he said.
“Whyfore and wherefore?”
“She's dangerous," said Mrs. Wain
wright, with the air of one imparting
select and exclusive confidences.
“She’s a disturbing element. 1 rely
on you to keep the peace of the house
while she’s here. Fact is, Teddy, dear,
she’s a most incorrigible and heartless
flirt. The last time she was here she
left in her train a cohort of heartsick
swains that was positively appalling.
It’s perfectly dreadful to have a jolly
little house party’ disrupted as that one
was.”
Barrington squinted his eye thought
fully as he looked away to the great
blue bulk of the hills rising in the dis
tance against a perfect sky.
“And so, Annette, I am to be the sac
rifice. as it were, am I?” he chuckled
?ood naturedly. “Won’t somebody else
do? I’m lazy. I’m having the time of
my life here just being lazy.”
“I have come to you.” said she with
deep conviction, “because you are one
of the few men I know whom I believe
can remain heart whole under all cir
cumstances. Oh, don’t look so conceit
ed about it. The ghastly truth of the
matter is that you are much too in
dolent and self satisfied to fall in love.
Therefore 1 make this appeal.”
“Oh, if you put it that way now,”
said he in mock protest.
"I do,” said she. “You must, as I
say. monopolize her while she’s here.
Make her think she has made a con
quest. Take her sailing and motoring
and riding, understand? Make her
think your case is very, very des
perate.”
"Oh. you women—you scheming, far
sighted women!” he complained. “Set
your fluttering heart at rest, Annette.
For old sake's sake I'll do my best.
When is she coming?”
"This afternoon. Hubbard has gone
down in the trap to meet her.”
A rumble of wheels sounded in the
roadway. A trap drawn by a smart
cob turned into the drive. Mrs. Wain
wright nodded meaningly toward it
and withdrew, and Barrington, turn
ing bis lazy eyes toward the drive,
saw in the approaching trap a vision
of wavy hair and pink cheeks and
flowing veil that was not at all unat
tractive.
“Well, well," said the unimpression
able Barrington, “it’s not such an aw
ful thing to be the appointed sacrifice,
after all.”
An hour later Mrs. Wainwright was
presenting him to the girl, and some
thing in the older woman's eyes warn
ed Barrington that his duties were to
begin at once. There.'-."a he stepped
nobly into the breach.
“Ob, I say, Miss Gray,” said he, “are
you fond of motoring? You are?
Good! Wainwright has a little peach
of a car in the garage. Suppose I get
it out and show you how it can take
the hills round here.”
“Oh. jolly!” she declared.
They motored until dinner time, and
at the after dinner bridge Miss Gray
was Barrington's partner. And the
following days he followed out Mrs.
Wainwright's injunctions to the letter.
"Ted. you are perfectly splendid,"
she declared one evening as he sat
smoking on the veranda.
"Always glad to oblige, Annette,” he
drawled.
"You do it so well I almost think
sometimes you're not at all averse to
the role I've assigned you,” she said
musingly.
“I'm much too indolent to fall in
love. I’m safe,” he said in the same
queer voice.
Mrs. Wainwright leaned anxiously ,
toward him. "Ted. do be careful,”
she warned him. "I didn't think for
a minute"—
“You are quite on the wrong tack,
Annette,” he said composedly. “Your
suspicions are utterly without founda
tion. Where on earth did you ever get
such childish ideas?"
Yet Mrs. Wainwright, once in her
own room, sat looking out thoughtful
ly. And at last, more perturbed than
she cared to admit, she tapped on her
husband's door.
"Tom.” she confessed uneasily as
her big husband, swathed in a gor
geous bath wrap, opened the door, “I
believe I've made a mess of things.”
"Well,” he said cheerfully, "you're
not without precedent in the matter.
Annette. How have you done it? Un
burden yourself.”
"It's Ted and Francesca Gray. I—
I”
“You mean you're afraid he's lost his
head?” Tom Wainwright asked. “Non
sense —nothing of the kind; not a
symptom of it. Go to sleep, Annette.
He'll take care of himself.”
Mrs. Wainwright felt decidedly
heartened, but when, two days later,
she found Ted Barrington all alone by
the old sundial in the gardens behind
the house, his hands clinched and his
face hard, a quick fear and an equal
ly swift contrition gripped her heart.
He bad not heard her noiseless ap
proach. She hurried to his side At

the somfd of her steps he looked up
and grinned rather sheepishly.
“Ted,” she cried, "I know it now.
There is no use denying it.”
‘"Why this commiseration spilled for
unworthy me?” he said, with an at
tempt at nonchalance.
“I saw your face just now.”
“Oh, did you?"
“You'd better confess,” said she.
“It’s my fault, anyway. Maybe I can
help you.”
“You’re quite right, Annette,” he
said quietly—so quietly that it cut her
to the quick. "The impossible has
come to pass. My case is desperate.”
“Has she refused, then, and laughed
at you?” she asked anxiously.
“She lias not,” said he, "and please
heaven she'll never get the chance. I
think I know how to make a graceful
exit from a mighty trying situation.
I’ve said no word of it to her, nor
shall I. I couldn’t quite stand having
her refuse me. I really couldn’t, An
nette. She's going away this after
noon. I think I can hold my tongue
in leash.”
Mrs. Wainwright arose without a
word and left him. later
she was back again. He was still
sitting there by the sundial.
“You’re a brute," she announced flat
ly and uncompromisingly.
Barrington stared at her.
“Haven’t you any eyes in your
head?" she demanded almost angrily.
Barrington frowned. “My dear An
nette,” said he, very much puzzled,
“this is not at all like you.”
Long and searchingly and also dis
approvingly Mrs. Wainwright looked
nt him.
“Well,” she said at last, “1 have just
seen Francesca, and if you are worth
the tears she’s wasting on you I'm
very much mistaken. She may have
been heartless before, but if you had
an.v eyes, as I said before"—
“Huh!" Barrington interrupted her.
“Say. where is she—where is she. An
nette? Down by the river, you say?"
A brown streak that might have
been Ted Barrington went tearing
across the lawn in the direction of the
river. Mrs. Wainwright sat watching
him with shining eyes.

Sleep
Sleep is nature’s re
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. Dr. Miles’
Nervine quiets the irri
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
“For over two years I suffered un
told agonies; mj friends thought I
was going crazy. 1 could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors. hut failed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind, and was so restless and
worried that sleep was out of the
question. After taking one bottle of
£>r. IST Hus’ Nervine I felt wonderfully
changed. I am now on my third bot
tle mid nm gaining all the time. I
can lie clown and sleep like a child,
f»nd am able to do my work.”
