ton now in progress indicates thar
the total for 1910 was approximate
ly 25g,600.
Although the number of mature
sheep decreased very slightly dur
ing the decade the number Of farms
reporting sheep decreased from 163.-
SIS to 60S,363, which is l55, 155. or
20 per cent The decrease in the
of farms in the North Allan
tic states was at practically the
same rate as the decrease in the
of sheep per farm approx
mately 81 at both periods.
In the South Atlantic division,
however, there was a decrease OF
practically 10000 in the number OF
farms reporting, with only shsht
decrease in the number OF sheep. IN
1900 the number of mature sheep
| per farm in that group of states was
| 16, whereas in 1910 the average
number per farm had increased to
20.
In the South Central division the
number of farms fell off about a.

tive decrease than that in the num-
Der of sheep. In 1900 the average
number of sheep per farm was ~

SHEEP AND LAMBS ON
FARMS AND RANGES
Preliminary Statement OF THIr-
tccnth Census Statistics Is
sued by Census Bureau.

Washington, July 15.-Statistics
relative to sheep and lambs report
ed on farms and ranges for the Uni
ted States, by states and geographic
divisions. at the thirteenth decen-
nial census, April 10. 1910, are con
tanned in an official statement is
sued today by Acting Director Faik-
er. It is based on tabular summar-
les prepared under the direction of
DR. lie Grand Powers, chief statisti-
clan for agriculture in the bureau OF
the census. The figures are prelim-
mary and subject to slight revision
later. when a few other farms, whose
returns are now incomplete, are in
cluded in the final tables.
In summing up the results Acting
Director Falker states that, for the
country as a whole, there was no
material change in the sheep indus
try in the 10 years between 1900
and 1910.
The total number of sheep and
lambs in the United States reported
for 1910 was 5t,63S,590, made up of
29.707,000 ewes, 7,14S,366 rams an
wethers, 12.16S,27S lambs. and o.
614,946 sheep and lambs not CLASH
fled by age or sex in the 1910 re-
ports. In 1900 the total number re
ported was 61,503,713, comprising
.81,857652 ewes, 7995,315 rams and
wethers, and 81, 650,746 lambs.
The public is cautioned that, ow-
ing to the different dates of enumer-
alton in 1900 and 1910, the figures
for lambs are not comparable for the
two periods AS previously shown,
the number reported in 1900 as of
date June l. was 81, 650,746, while
in 1910 the number returned as OF
April Is was only 12,16S, 27S This
decrease is said by the acting direc-
tor to be more apparent than real
If the enumeration in 1910 had TAX
en- place as of June l, the number
of lambs as the two census periods
would probably have been approXi-
mately the same as shown by the
other statistics
Excluding the lambs from consid-
alton, the other figures are fairly
comparable Such action would leave
net total of 39.470,312 wool-pro-
ducing sheep for 1910, as compared
with 39.S52,967 for 1900. The 1916
total will be slightly changed in the
final reports of the thirteenth cen
sus by the tabulation of supplement
tai schedules for Arizona and New
Mexico. which viii add approximate
ly 100000 to the number stated
Hence. it is seen that there was ac'
tually a decrease of only ! per cent
in the net total number of wool-pro
ducing sheen in 1910 as finally tc
be compared with the corresponding
total for 1900.
The figures in the present state
ment do not include the number OF
wool-produclng sheep reported FOL

spite of tile tears In her eyes and the
lump In her throat.
The preceding June, Estelle had
graduated from high school. Two
weeks later the baby brother had
come, and Estelle had spent busy
summer trying to take her mothers
place in the household with the as
sistance of tweve-year-old Lois. She
had been quite content to do this till
she had become acquainted with Isa-
bel Oberly, city girl spending her
vacation with her aunt, a near neigh
Dor of the Washburns. Isabel wore
handsome clothes and pearl ring
which she informed Estelle had been
paid for out of her earnings. She also
made the statement that a girl was
foolish to stay at home and bury her
self doing housework. Other radical
views of Isabels along this line were
responsible for the seed Of discomfort
sown in Estelle's heart-garden, which
took root, fouished, and finally bore
fruit in the step she now was taking
with view to becoming self-support-
ing. Mr.. Washburn had pointed out to
Estelle that her present duty consist
ed in helping her mother, who really
needed her. Estelle had listened in
silence, then said to her mother in
answer:
I'm very little while / can earn
enough to pay good, strong girl to
help you, mother. Oh, you don't know
how in earnest I am about going to
the city. I feel just as I did when /
was title girl and you told me the
story of the child who wanted to go
to the end of the rainbow to find a
pot of gold; I want to find my pot of
gold, and know I shall find it in the
city. Of course, / know, too, that
shall have to work hard and be pa
tient, but I mean to be BOTH"
And now Estelle was on her way to
find her pot of gold" Her first let
ter home was full of good cheer. Isa-
bel had met her at the station, as
agreed, taken her home, and the room
they shared was very comfortable. In
the morning she was going with Isa-
bel to the rest room connected with
the place where Isabel worked. Isa-
bel had explained that while Estelle
was learning the work she must ex-
pect to receive only nominal wages.
Estelle's second letter came at the
close of discouraging September day
when the baby had been cross and
things in general had gone wrong
Mrs. Washburn sat down in the late
afternoon sunshine to rest and read
the letter on the porch. Isabel's EN-
ployer was not in need of additional
help at present, and she had recon-
mended Estelle to another place on
the other side of the city. If Estelle
found employment there, she could
not conveniently board at Isabel's
The latter's mother had suggested
that for the time being Estelle should
take position in one of the depart
ment stores as clerk, since not much
experience was necessary to procure
this kind of employment. The THIRD
letter closed with the following para

PUTTING AWAY WINTER
GARMENTS.

The task of putting away ones
winter garments, especially the wool
ems, is no simple one, especially if the
family consists of growing children.
However, the very fact that the chill
dren are growing gives the wife and
mother an opportunity to give to
others some of the garments which
have been doing service during the
cold weather. It is well to look over
the garments with the idea of seeing
what ones cannot be worn another
year, either because they are worn or
because they are outgrown; if they
are outgrown, find some worthy pei
son to whom these articles of clothing
will be of great benefit. On the other
hand, if tos badly worn to be repaired,
cast them aside at once. If the gar
ments may be repaired, take the
necessary stitches before packing
away; this will save time and pa
tience in the fall See that the under
garments are freshly laundered, then
air them we'll and give them final
brushing to be sure that they are free
from any pest. It is well to wrap the
garments in newspapers, taking time
to label the individual packages; this,
too, will save time when the unpack-
ing process arrives. Put these pack.
ages in boxes, lined with newspaper
and then wrapped and sealed, or pack
them in packing boxes or trunks, kept
specially for the purpose.
If WOODEN clothes are being packed
away, see that they are perfectly
cleaned beforehand. Some housewives
sprinkle each garment well with gaso
line, as a preventive, others give them
thorough brushing and cleaning and
then use either camphor or cedar OF
tar in some form, as a preventive
against moths.
If one is reasonably sure that ths
garments are clean when packed
away-see to the pockets lest they
are not rid of all dust and dirt-anG
then put them in boxes sealed so thai
nothing from outside can get in, it is
pretty safe to count on the garments
being intact when opened a few
months later.

CARE OF THE HAIR.

To keep your hair from growing
thin, treat it gently: hold it with one
hand above the portion being combed,
so as not to pull it from the roots.
Do not brush it straight down, but
out from the head, to free it from
dust. Ventilate it at least once a day
by running your fingers through it
and tossing it out SO that the air will
reach ali parts of it. Begin at the
forehead by placing the finger tips at
the edge of the hair and moving the
soap in a circle; then move the
fingers little back until every part
has been massaged If the hair is
dry, or is coming out, massage it once
week, first putting a little vaseline
or crude petroleum on the tips of the
fingers. Rub this into the scalp,
getting as little as possible on the
hair.
The hair should be washed about
once month, using an egg, slightly
beaten, or very little pure soap, then
rinsing thoroughly. 1t may be quickly
uA4Su Will WdTm LOW0lS. IL the udlT
is dry and brittle, it may be cleansed
thus: Sift together pint of fine corn
meal and half ounce of powdered
orris root. Spread it on a large
cloth, hold the head over it, and rub
the mixture well through the hair and
into the scalp. Shake out and again
rub in more of the meal. Repeat sew
eral times, then brush the hair, a
little of it at time, with clean, soft
brush, until there is not trace of the
powder left. 1t will make the hair
clean, sweet-scented, and soft.
frequently changing the way of
dressing the hair tends to keep it in
good condition. Wear it low in the
morning and high in the evening, and
part it freshly each time you comb
it. If always parted in the same
place, the part soon widens. Combs
and brushes should be washed at least

The most trying type of guest to a
quiet household is the pleasure-mad
one. The girl who is Unsuitable where
going is concerned, who must have
something on for every hour of the
day, who wears an aggrieved air if
she has to spend quiet evening al
home. One is apt to bid this sort of
guest goodbye with glad heart.
But perhaps the most narrowing
guest is the one who gets on ones
husbands nerves. Every woman has
some friend to whom she is attached,
yet who is uncongenial with her hus-
band, and when she pays one a visit
all ones energies are exhausted try
ing to keep the two apart.
She invariably monopolizes his IA
vorite chair, reads his newspaper be-
fore he does, and chooses the topic
for conversation that he detests. She
diabolically, but innocently, selects a
train for departure which will neces-
state his getting up an hour earlier
or staying up an hour later to see
her off, and she usually possesses
mannerisms which drive him to
frenzy or reduce him to sulky silence.
If one must invite this type of guest
it is kinder and more pleasant to ask
her while ones husband is away.
There are many little ways in which
girl may make herself a perfect
guest if she once realizes that the ar,
of being a guest is one well worth
studying. It is not an easy matter to
be good hostess, and it is far more
difficult to be a good guest.

ESTELLE'S RAINBOW.

Estelle Washburn adjusted the fine
bit of hemstitched lawn edged with
Irish crochet under her firm, round
chin, just where the freshly Numbered
linen collar closed, satisfied the while
with the neat girlish figure the mir.
ror reflected. A minute later she
tripped downstairs, suitcase in hand
and heard her mothers voice softly
singing:
Sail, baby, sail, out upon your sea,
Only don't forget to sail back again
to me-"
'1'm doing, dear" Estelle bent and
kissed first her mother and then the
baby on her lap. "You will let Lois
help you all she can when school is
over, won't you, mamma? I do wish
you felt stronger"
Il hope everything will go well with
you, Estelle. If it should not" The
mothers voice trembled, then she
sang half-smilingly: "Only don't for
get to sail back again to me-"
Il will when I've learned to paddle
my own canoe" Estelle laughed.
Goodbye, dearest. Do take care of
yourself"
Half way down the garden path Els
telle stopped to pick a few pin asters,
which she tucked in her belt. Then
she looked back, and, just as she had
known, her mother was at the window
to watch her OH. holding the new lit
tie baby. Estelle blew kiss from
the tips OF her fingers, then hurried
away, trying to believe she was happy

A REQUEST.

Give me but six feet three Zone inch
to spare)
OF Irish ground, dig it anywhere;
And for the poor soul say an Irish
prayer
Above the spot
Let it be hill where cloud and noun
tain meet,
Or vale where grows the tufted mea-
dow sweet,
Or borreen trod by peasants shoe
less feet,
1t matters not.
l love them all-the vale, the hill,
The moaning sea, the fagger-lilied
rill,
The yellow furze, the lake-shore lone
and still,
The wild birds song
But more than hill or valley, bird OF
moor,
More than the green fields of my
river SUR,
loved those hapless ones-the Irish
Poor,
All my life long.
Little / did for them in outward deed
And yet be unto them of praise the
need,
For the stiff fight I waged 'gainst
lust and greed;
/ learnt it there.
So give me Irish grave, mid Irish air
With Irish grass above it, anywhere;
And let some passing peasant give
prayer
For the soul there.
