and sold separately bring their actual value and do not detract from the appearance and uni form character of the body wool.
 Only a small proportion of American woolgrowers separate thelr wool into grades before sacking for shipment. Unless the flock is of very uniform character the sacks of wool must be opened at the warehouse and their contents graded before be- ing offered for sale. Skirting is never done in America.
 The breeding of the sheep is of first importance in determin- ing the grade of the wool. Woolgrowers, as a rule, are not familiar enough with the com mercial grades the fieeces of a particular breed of sheep would be placed. Aside from the mat ter of grade. the value of wool is controlled to a great extent by the feed supply and methods of herdlng the sheep on the range. Lessons upon these points as well as upon the handling of the shorn wool can be brought home by the exhibit that has been pre- pared by the Bureau of Animal Industry. It is not too much to expect that in the next decadeof improved business practices will add over 10 per cent to the price received tor wool by sheep raisers.

The Country Boys Creed

'.I believe that the country which God made is more beauti- fuI than the city which man made; that life out of doors and in touch with the earth IS the natural life of man. 1 believe that work with nature is more inspiring than with the most in- tricate machinery. I believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but how you do it: that opportunity comes to the boy on the farm as often as the boy in the city; that life is larger and freer and happier on the farm than in the town; that my sucuess depends not upon my To- cation, but upon myself; not up- on my dreams but upon what 1 actually do: not upon luck but upon pluck. I believe in work ing when you work and Tn play ing when you play. and in gIvlng and demanding a square deal in every act of life. Columbus. (N. M.) Courier.

of expensive irrigation projects on several reservations, reimbur- sible out of Indian funds, and the Indians are required to make ben eficial use of the water on certain reservations within a limited and comparatively short time. If thls is not done they will lose thelr water rights and forfeit the same to subsequent users of the water. The government holds the lands in trust for the benefit of the h. dians for a period of twenty-five years from the time of the allot- ment.
 The allotting of lands to Indians has been conducted ever since the enactment of the general al- lotment. act of February 8, 1887. It is estimated that there have been allotted to 180,000 Indians about 34, 00O,0 900 acres of thelr lands. and that there remains to be allotted about 39, 100000 acres of lands owned by them. There are nearly 12O.O unallotted h. dians.
 The timber owned by Indians has stumpage value of over ESQ., 900. 900. Approximately one-sev- enth of this value is in timber on unallotted land. The greater part of the unallotted timber is upon non-agricuItural lands Tn the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states.
 The valuable grazing lands of the Indians offer unusual oppor- tunities for increasing the meat supply of the country, and at the same time furnish large profit and employment for the Indians. Republican.

and doubtless will be prevented by growers in the future. The growers gain Tn this particular is in no way opposed to the in- terests of the dealers or manu- lecturers.
 Australian and New Zealand wools are graded or chased" at the time of shearing. They are also shipped in bales instead of sacks. The wool classers" who do their work at the shear ing plant are familiar with the basis of grading wool for manu- lecturers uses. No bale con- tains more than one grade of wool, and any one bale is a true representative of others of the same grade shorn from the same flock. In many instances the fleeces are also "skirted. !" Skirtine is the removal from the fleece of that part of the wool shorn from the legs and belly. Such skirtings contain most of the dirt and foreign matter pre- sent in the fleece and when baled
