Growth OF Rural Delivery.

The relief which rural free de
livery has brought to those farm
ers now in the enjoyment of that
valuable privilege cannot easily
be overestlmated. Itnot merely
saves him the expense aud time
of frequent trips to the postof.
fee town, but keeps hlm in touch
with the world, when he has no
leisure or opportunity to leave
his farm. III is great conven
fence, and the demand for 1t
makes 1t grow steadily. Thirteen
years ago the experiment of free
delivery of mail began with five
routes in one Of the border States.
There are now 40,919 routes, with
nearly as many carriers, serving
40, 900, 900 patrons daily, and Un-
Gle Sam has spent for service, up

Higher Prices for Shoes.

From so good an authority as
the Boot and Shoe Recorder, we
lean that despite the fact that
the manu- ufacturers were success.
ful in their campaign for free
hides at the time the tariff bill
was passed, there will be an in.
crease IN the price of shoes. This
will be interesting, If not accept
able, news for the consumer.
The highest price for hides ev-
er known is now prevailing IN
this country. Calfskins, which
have practically been on the free
list always, cost more than at any
ume since the civil war.
The increased cost of calfskin
uppers on a pair of shoes will run
from s TO II cents; the increased
cost of sole leather will add to the
cost of shoes from 6 to 10 cents,
to say nothing of the findings, ev.
en- though there be no increase
IN the cost of labor.
The cause for this condition is
attributed TO the fact that the de.
mand for leather exceeds the de.
mand for beef, and we must wait
for change here before there
will be any appreciable decrease
in the cost of footwear. HIDES
are a by p oduct of the beef in
dustry. Therefore, 1T would be
in utter defiance of economic con
ditlons TO expect cheaper leather
when the worlds demand for
beef for food has not increased as
rapidly as the population, nor as
rapidly as the demand for leath-
er. Ultimately the tariff reduc
tions will bring benefits to the
consumer. but 1t win take time.

gate their land will be asked to report
the source from which water is OBJ
tanned. the number of acres of pas
ture land irrigated and the total irri-
gated acreage.
This outline covers every important
question that will be asked concern
ing the farm products of 1909. Amer
lean agriculture is so diversified and
SO highly specialized in many of its
branches, that any schedule designed
to secure "a fairly complete exhibit of
its and operations must
necessarily contain a large number of
inquiries. The average farm opera
tor will not be called upon to answer
one-seventh of the printed questions,
hence the somewhat formidable ap-
pearance of the schedule should occa-
sion no alarm.
More than -four months remain in
which to review the results of the
year 1909 and prepare for the visit
of the enumerator. But preparation
of a written record should be com
menced at once. No one should at
tempt to complete it in one evening,
hut the work should be divided as in
dictated in the above outline. one
evening being given up to farm ex-
penses, a second to live stock, a third
to dairy products and So on through
the list. In this way, each topic can
be given the consideration it deserves
and the resulting figures are certain
