Census quirks and rural humor from a curious page
A long, drifting excerpt notes an eccentric census schedule with Irish names, a farmer’s massive household claim, and comical misread ages. It then shifts to anecdotes about official mistakes, a caustic insurance exchange, and a Scottish farmer’s family lore. The piece ends with agricultural guidance on sheep care from the Burlington Hawkeye.
