that such farms are constantly changing

NEAR 100000 FARMS
Sixteen Billions Invested in
American Agriculture.
GRAIN IN PAST DECADE
CENSUS BUREAU ISSUES VERY
IMPORTANT BULLETIN.
Values Increase More Than Five Times
in Fifty Years-Effect of
Irrigation.

The census bureau today issued a bulletin
on THE Agriculture of the United States"
a compilation of the most important figures
previously given in bulletins on the agricul-
ture of the separate states and territories.
1t is one of the most important publications
comprehended in the census.
The bulletin follows, in part:
"A farm as defined by the twelfth cen
sus. includes all the land, under one man
agement, used for raising crops and pas
turing live stock, with the wood lots,
swamps, meadows, etc, connected there
with. 1t includes also the house in which
the farmer resides, and all other buildings
used by him in connection with his farming
operations.
1.-THE farms of the United States June 1,
1900, numbered 5,739 G57 and were valued
at S16,61f ESQ 247 OF this amount $3.50
19s,191 or 21.4 per cent, represents the
value of buildings, and S13,f 1872 056, or
1876 per cent, the value of land and i'm
provements other than buildings. On the
same date the value of farm implements
and machinery was S1G1 2i1.'J50, and of live
stock S3,o7S, o5o,o!1. These values, added
to that of farms. give S2a,J1i,09l ,S}S for the
total value of farm property
Nearly Five Billions in Farm Products.
'The total value of farm products for
1899 was S4739. 11S,152, of which amount
S1,I1S.99o 221, or 1868 per cent. represents
the value of animal products and 5000.
1851, or 63.7 per cent. the value of crops,
including forest products cut or produced
on farms. The total value of farm products
for 1879 exceeds that reported for 1889 by
50 2I9,o11.2lS or 92.G per cent A part OF
this apparent increase is doubtless due to
more detailed enumeration in 1880 than in
1890

farm property is referred to the per

The impatient woma an.

The greater part Of the disappoint-
ments Of life can be attributed to i'm
patience. An impatient woman should
never be the mistress of home Of her
own, for impatience robs q woman of
that loveableness which makes the at
mosphere Of home sweet. The wife
who easily sacrifices her serenity and
composure will soon find her hus-
bands love on the wane. A disturbed,
fretful look will mar the fairest face,
and a quick, unkind retort, take the
charm out OF the sweetest mouth. 1t
is impossible to do any good for our
selves or Others without patience. The
lack of 1t either proves that our hearts
are not spiritually beautiful, or that
the medical theory is right in regard
to an unlovely temperament. The dis
agreeableness derived from connections
with impatient, hlgh-strung disposi-
tions is one of the many unhappy con.
sequences of the sin Of impatiencN--

Beautiful odd Bodies.

A "blouse" of Oyster-tinted Louisine
has the two fronts cut away from the
neck and down either side in scallops,
buttonholed over at the edges with
gold thread, to reveal an under cheml'
sette and front of white chiffon, finely
tucked to the waist, each tuck hand
sewn with gold thread. The Louisine
bodice part and the sleeves were hand
embroidered all over with dainty bou
quets of roses and violets in their nat
ural colors, pouching at the waist over
deep belt of white silk elastic, en-
broidered in gold, and fastened With
an art nouveau buckle of roses and VIC
let's quite eight inches deep. These
deep waist buckles are a feature op
most of the belts of to-day.
An old bodice Of black chine silk shot
with a rich brocaded pattern Of flow
ers in all shades was quite plainly
made, with gaugings Of narrow black
gauze ribbon running from neck to
waist back and front and down the
sleeves, at intervals of about three
inches apart, with very good effect,
the collar being one Of the new v.
shaped ones sharply pointed in front,
of gagged black gauze.
A bodice Of tambour lace, with down.
ward stripes Of black velvet to meet n
broad piece of Venetian guipure run
ming round the centre of the bodice, has
knot Of black tulle placed to the
right side, the elbow sleeves being
finished with lace frills.
A blouse Of pale gray taffetas, worked
with roses, is slashed down either side
of the front and down the sleeves, to
show creamy lace underneath, laced
across with black velvet, and bordered
with minute pearl buttons. The lace
yoke is outlined with black velvet
lines to match the top Of tie sleeves.
A pink flannel shirtwaist is pat.
termed with flowers in faint check,

The Homemade Screen.

Now that silkolines, cretons and other
fabrics are made in every kind Of de-
sign, including birds, Kate Greenaway
children and Oriental colorings, home
made screens may be constructed at
slight expense to harmonic with the
furnishings Of any room. Ready made
frames can be obtained at the depart
ment stores, and should be covered
with a foundation of burlap or canvas.
Over this is fastened the decorative
fabric. For nurseries, highly colored
flowers and birds are interesting to
children. For libraries, screens covered
with mats Of Chinese grass cloth, and
solid colors are considered the most
appropriate.

An Error in House Furnishing.

An error which the inexperienced
housefurnisher often makes is to put
two reds of different tones in rooms
that open into each other. A hall,
perhaps, will have terra Gotta on the
walls, and there will be red in the
dining-room to which it leads. This is
wrong. Put negative color on the
hall, a tone of buff or mastic with a
small broken figure in self-tones, that
there may be no suggestion or strong
contrast to the red Of the adjoining
room. If blue is to be used in the
dining-room, not too light yellow
may be put on the hall. 1t is these
jarring arrangements In adjacent
rooms that may destroy wholly an eff
