A farm for census purposes is all the land which is directly farnred by the person managing and conducting agri- cultural operations, either by his own labor alone or with the assistance of members of his household or hired em-~ ployees. A “farm” as thus defined may consist of a single tract of land, or of a number of separate and distinct tracts, and these several tracts may be held under differ ent tenures, as when one tract is owned by the farmer and another tract is hired by him, . ——— A A —— If the Republicans in the house of Rep- resentatives are practicing economy when they cut millions from appropria. tions for the army and navy, what are Republicans in the Senate doing when they help Democrats to restore these millions ?
