To Save the TabIecIoths.

As laundry work is a serious prob lem in our home, I recently made a dozen doilies from red and white checked toweling. These doilies are 12 inches square, and were simply hemmed on the sewing machine They are placed under the cbildren's plates, under the meat platter, and under dishes containing fruit or vegetables that are liable to spill while being served. These doilies, or mats, are easily washed, and my table doilies keep clean three times as long as formerly. They can also be used at luncheon on a bare table.-Suburban Life.

NEW SHEEP TYPE
 IS LATEST EVOLUTION

F. W. Wilson, animal husband man in charge of the University of Arizona Experiment Station Farm at Phoenix, gives out an interesting report of the results obtained through the expert ments which have been carried on at the farm during the past year, by which it has been at tempted to produce two new types of sheep.
 The experiment station at the University has been concerned for several years with the prob. lem of producing a type of ami nal which would be peculiarly adapted to the climate of the warm, irrigated valleys of the Territory, and another for the colder climate and higher alti- tudes of the mountain districts In the type sought for the noun tain sheep, it has been Mir. Will sons desire to produce a sheep that would have a strong con- constitution to withstand the extreme cold, produce good nut  ton lambs and raise a good crop of wool. The problem in the ex- periment for a type suitable for the valleys has been to produce good mutton lamb, a profit able clip of wool and an animal able to withstand extreme eli matic conditions, and an animal which would be ready to breed at any time of the year with reg ularity.
 Since the present experiments were put under way, four brands of sheep have been selected for breeding, and two generations of lambs have been produced with a gratifying result, which shows a near approach to the desired creation of mountain and valley types. There are at present 750 sheep being used on the farm and the work is more than halfcompleted. MT. Wilson says that if only six or eight of the sheep of the two types are produced, he will consider the time and the expense involved in the experiment. well spent. A crop of six pounds to the head was a good average for sheep taken to the farm for crossing purposes, but since the blood ot the hocks has been interchanged and strengthened the yearly crop of the entire number will aver age as high as eight and one third pounds. Some of the ami. mals have clipped as high as eighteen pounds. Careful selec. tion of the types used for the ex- periments has insured the pro. duction of a superior animal and the rules of MendePs Law of Breeding have been strictly adhered to in the attempts made to determine and fix the charac. ter ofthe sheep.
 This year the flock at the ex. pertinent farm has lambed one and one-sixth lambs for every eve in the flock, which is regard, ed by sheep men as a remarkable

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

ONONh T ciiNs'p WI e , 8, 1911 The cattle run last week was only 25,OOO all told at Kansas City, the lightest weeks receipts since last July The market accumulated streng- tn during the week, not so much in the way of price, although gains of 10 to 25 cents were re- corded, as in a trmer undertone on which a substantial raise could be erected, should receipts continue at such small figures. Steers received the small end of the advance last week, cows 25 higher in some cases, stockers and feeders stronger and enjoyed good action, calves a quarter higher. The run today is small, 1000 hea d and all the markets are lightly supplied, furnishing more mediciIe for the market. Prices are strong to 10 higher here, applying to all classes. Top steers last week brought $6.1O and this figure was reached today. bulk steers selling at$5.5O to $5.95. Too many unfinished steers appeared last week, sent in by tired feeders, and commis- sion men are advising the owners of these cattle to hold on awhile particularly as the outlook seems promising. and the cost of carrying them is now at a minimum figure On the otht hand, owners say that so faI this month quality ccmman' S scant premium, and claim that it does not pay to put on the finish. The advice to hold on. however, applies more particular to steers selling at $56O and less. Quarantine run is very light today, only 6 cars. steers quotable at $500 to $5.75 foi fed cattle. $4 25 to SAYS for grassers. Western steers brought $5 S5 today, native cows $3 75 to $5 25, heifers $4 75 to $6 co, bulls $4 co to $500, calves up to $6.75, stockers and feeders $4.75 to $5.75.
 Hog receipts last week were about like recent weeks in volume, average prices 16 cents lower than the previous week. Run today is 10000 head, the market 5 to 10 higher, the usual Monday stunt, all kinds selling close together, bulk at $5.95 to $5.95, tops $5.95. Shippers have been active for the last week on medium and light hogs, but packers are buying hogs be cause there is money in them, and the range is therefore narrow. Values are now down to where they permit of a broad outlet, and packers find no trouble in getting rid fthe fresh meat, or the product.
 Sheep and lambs took on some strength last week. and closed about a quarter higher for the week. Run is 11,OOO head today, market 10 higher on sheep, steady on lambs Texas clipped weathers sold at $4 25 today. best they have done this season, Colorado lambs at $6 10. Wooded yearl- ings are worth up to $5 40, clipped eve. $3 60 to $41O. Wool market is still bad, a bad , feature for the market on live animals. Packers do not find it necessary to kill many goats, bulk of which have to find an outlet to country buyers So far this has not been difficult, at prices ranging from $315 to $3 40 at this time.
