HO SIMPLE UHDEHTAKINGL Some of the DMBenlt Problems Proseated la the Tables of the Twelfth Ceaoaa.

[Special Washington Letter.] Census taking is not the political picnic that many people imagine. Few appreciate the magnitude of the work; the eleventh census cost more than $11,000,000, and in the twelfth census an office force of more than 2,000 for about two years and a field force of over 50,000 for from two weeks to a month will be employed. Among the troublesome problem* which have to be solved by the census office are the legal questions which continually arise. The Indian census, for instance, fairly bris ties with legal difficulties. In 1890 the census law provided that a “special report” upon the Indians should be made. A volume of 700 odd pages was published, profusely illustrated and t ouching every point of the Indian problem. For once in' history, “Poor Lo” was accorded justice. The volume was so pretty that 'the edition was soon exhausted and now the department of the interior has not^even a copy for the census office itself. But the law providing for the twelfth census makes no special provision for an Indian census; nor does it authorize such a report as was made ten years ago. It is at this point that the real difficulties of the census office regarding the.Im'ians begin. r The Indian population, then, canno. be treated by itself and described in a separate report. It also se^ms illogical to class the Indians among the ordinary population of the United States. The Indian tribe is in many respects a distinct nationality, although since 1871 confess has been doing its best to destroy all traces of tribal independence cr self-govern-ment. Moreover, the tribal Indians are not citizens of the United States. The reservations upon which they live are not legally parts of the state or territory which surrounds them. - Under such conditions it seems impossible for the census office to class Indians as a part of the ordinary inhabitants of the states and territories. On the other hand, it is equally impossible to ignore them and omit them entirely. For the constitution of the United States says that: “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.” This fastens upon the census ollice a duty that seems plain enough. Tut as" a matter of fact, it would give the attorney general of the United States some hour* of work to explain exactly what ii meant by the apparently simple phras* “Indians Pot taxed.” l,he uncertainty in th§ phrase is in the meaning of th< word “taxed.” The tribal Indian, lik< ' ^oth*f inhabitant* of the United States is subject to theMnternfi! revenue dutiei \ and the varioys stamp taxes now im Vposed by the United States. If he usei a bank check, he must stamp it; i he manufactures a bo?; of cigars, h< must, stamp it. Is he “taxed” thereby* « Just what a “tax” is, in the meaning of the constitution. »has never beei definitely decided, although the ques tion has been before the supreme couri many'times. Whether or not a stamp duty is a tax and if it is, whether it is a direct tax: whether “Indians not taxed” mean! Indians not directly ta:ced, or whethei it may not mean Indians not taxable are questions that must be decidel by the census office before it can fora its plan for the Indian enumeration. The last question has been a sub ject of debate evpr since Indian cen suses have beep taken In 1890 there were about 50,60G civilized Indians living among the general population oi the United States. Such Indians art: citizens of the United States, but many, of them are too poor to pay taxes Are they to be excluded from the population according Jo, which representation in congress is apportioned ? W« count every Chinese and other alien oi whatever sort or condition. Before the war we counted every negro slave as equivalent to three-fifths of a white mac. It seems manifestly, absurd tc believe that the framers of the constitution meant to exclude a class oi citizens who are also natives, because ofetheir poverty. Jn, oilier words, the framers of the° constitution must have said what they did. not mean. Whal they really meant was to exclude al] Indians belonging to a class not sub ject to taxation. All these points are subjected to th« most careful examination in the census office, and when a decision as to the legal obligation of the office has beer reached, the statisticians turn theii attention to tljje economic and social aspects of the question in hand. Experts are consulted'; the important lines of investigation are mapped out and inquiries are so framed as to bring out the desired information in a form in which it can be handled with tht Hollerith machines. At the same time these questions mupt be put in such a 6 way that they will neit her be misunderstood nor likely to evoke antagonism or false replies. No pains are spared to interest the public in the work and to secure general and hearty cooperation. Without that the most careful work at Washington or by the enumerators must prove fruitless. Horses are easily broken to drive by a western man’s apparatus, comprising a number of arms att ached to a central pivoted base, the animal being harnessed and tied to one of the arms, with the traces attached to an arm at the rear to revolve the trainer as the horse travels around the circle. -frill a new amusement device for parka u canal of tortuous shape is dug in the ground, with means for raising the water from the lower end to the upper, a number of boats being floated in the lg current of water to ' 1

SCOURS IN CALVES. Cmui of the DUeue ui Bow to Treat It with Reasonable Proapects of Saeeeu. Call scours are usually due to one or more of three causes: First, and most frequent, damp, ill-ventilated i\ud filthy quarters, or badly cleaned feeding vessels. Filth or decaying milk,' generate ptomaines or poison germs that set up the disease. The vessel from which any animal is fed milk should be rinsed with cold water immediately after using, and then scalded every day. After scalding it should b& set in the sun to dry, drain and sweeten. Second, feeding cold milk that chills the young calf and checks digestion. From 90 degrees to 100 degrees is the proper temperature for calf milk. Third, too long time between feeding; as a consequence the calf gets so hungry thatlt gorges itself when fed. From two to three quarts is as much as the ordinary six weeks old calf should be fed at a time. It should be fed not less than three times a day until it begins to take solid food. The remedy is to feed sparingly for a day or two. Give one or two ounces of cast or oil in a little milk, and two hours later give a tablespoonful or teaspoonful of the following in a little milk from a bottle in which an egg has been beaten. Tincture of ginger, four ounces; tincture of opium, three ounces; spirits of camphor, two ounces; tincture of rhubarb, two ' ounces, and essence of peppermint, two ounces. Mix. In very bad cases give every two hours; in mild cases give every four or six hours, until the discharges become more natural. If the calf is small and young, one ounce of j oil and a teaspoonful of mixture will 1 be a dose. Keep the calf warm and dry. —Jersey Bulletin.

HANDY MANGER RACK. 4a Attachment That la Much Used and hiked by Farmer* and Dairymen in Ohio. Since the value of corn fodder is, more closely estimated by our farm- j ers, and hay is becoming more yalu- j able and somewhat scarce, and we are i feeding more fodder in our barns dur-H ing the winter season than in former years, various contrivances are brought into use to make the feeding of stalks more convenient. In our hay barns or barns with mangers built to economize space in the stable room, we find that the mangers are too small to feed stalks handily. In the illustration is shown a rack attachment which is much tired and liked in our country, j

MANGER RACK. It is made of one by two lath throughout. An opening is left at A, where grain can be easily thrown into the feed box. The outer portion of rack is hinged onto the ’manger, which : makes it very convenient to let down and empty refuse stalks onto the bam floor, where they may be worked out into the manure yard. The fine refuse can be worked out through the stable for bedding. This arrangement is very 3onvenient also to feed hay, and where small mangers must be used they soon pay for themselves in the saving of feed that is often trampled under foot by the horses.—George W. Brown, in Ohio Farmer.

OATS FOR FEEDING. They Should.Feel Dry and Elastic to the Toueh and Fairly Well Equipped with Flour. Oats for feeding should have an agreeable smell, clean, smooth and bright .appearance, and pleasant taste; should feel dry, hard and elastic to the touch when broken between the teeth, aud should be fairly well supplied with flour, says National Stockman. The fadf that they fulfill these conditions will show that they have been well saved, are sufficiently old, possess a due amount of nutriment, and have not suffered from injurious influences, such as damp and mould, as would be evident if they were musty in smell and dull in color. The presence -of dust in oats proves that they have been badly saved, and that their quality has undergone' more or less deterioration. A shriveled-up condition is also a sign of inferiority. With a plump variety of oats, if the grains feel heavy in the hand, rattle more or less like shot when poured out, rebound when they fall on wood or other hard objects, and show no tendency to stick together, our good opinion of their nutritive value and sound condition will be still further confirmed. The plumper, more rounded. and heavier oats are.Uhe higher will be their marketvalue. Thinness of husk will also enhance the price as a rule. The cost of white oats, probably on Recount of their cleaner and more pleasing appearance, is higher than that of either black or tawny oats. Old oats are sold at about 15 per cent, more than new oats. The term “old”.is applied to oats as soon as the next cit>p begins to be threshed. To feed bees place sirup over tht cluster, or sugar if the weather is cold; place oilcloths over the cluster in which are a few small holes, around which the food is placed. Empty frames of combs should be well taken, care of during the winter. The worst enemy to empty combs during the. winter is mice. Store the combs ia"nice-proof boxes. hc:, v ■ -'j*'’ xxSlM .-X :

TO MEET STEAMSHIPS. A Hew Service by the New York Oe»« tiral Railroad. George H. Daniels, general passenger igent of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, has added a steamship bureau to the equipment of the passenger service of the road. He has engaged Captains Louis Ingwersen and F. A. G. Scnultze to superintend the bureau, and one of their duties will be to meet all incoming trans-Atlantic and the principal coastwise steamships to assist passengers who wish to leave the city via the Vanderbilt system. Capt. Ingwersen will have charge of the American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic Transport, Wilson, Anchor and Allan-State tines, and Capt. Schuitze has been assigned to the North-German Lloyd, Hamburg; American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star and Thingyalla lines. They will meet all incoming steamships, and will be prepared to furnish railway tickets, parlor and sleeping car accommodations and to assist passengers with their baggage and check it to points on the line af the 'railroad, after it has been passed by the customs inspectors. They will also furnish passengers with cabs operated by the railroad company, and furnish time tables and general information to passengers. The two men have also been directea to assist passengers who come to this city with a view of going abroad, and such passengers will be met at the Grand Central Station on incoming trains and conducted to the steamship. Their baggage will be attended to, and steamship tickets can be procured in advance by communicating with Mr. Daniels.—From ,the New York Commercial Advertiser. J __ . He Fell Into the Trap.
