Wayne county farms Increased in Taluo to the tune of JG00.000 in tho ten years from 1000 to 1910. Tho actual value of the land decreased because of the falling off In farm Acreage, hut tho valuo of buildings, farm Implements and machinery nnd of domestic anlmalfl more than made up the drop In land value. Domes tic animals on Wnyne county farms, Including poultry and bees, repre sented in 11)10 tho notable valuo of $2,054.2-12. Wayne adjoins Susquehanna coun ty, and these two divisions of tho commonwealth represent much of tho wealth of tho stato In farm land nd equipment. Following is a summary of tho United States census reports for Wayno county, as shown in tho agri culture reports for tho state of Penn sylvania: A summary of tho census follows: 1910. 1900.

C, special of January 22 says: Farm land In Pennsylvania shows a great increase In value, according to a bulletin Just Issued by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture, based on tho census of 1910. There Is a decrease In tho number of farms as well as tho acreage, while tho farmer is growing better stock and using moro expensive Implements. Pennsylvania ranks second Jn pop ulation and thirty-second In land area among tho States and Territor ies of Continental United States. In physical features thitf Stato presents great diversity. Many Kinds of Soils. Tho soils of Pennsylvania aro ex tremely diverse in origin, physical characteristics and present uses. Tho soils of tho southeastern portion aro primarily devoted to tho production of corn, wheat and grass, with oats as a secondary crop. Tho soils of tho limestone valleys nro primarily corn, wheat and grass soils. Of tho State's ontlro land area, about two-thirds is In farms and tho proportion Is quite varied In the sev eral counties, ranging from less than 20 per cent. In Cameron, Elk and Forest counties to 96.5 per cent. In Greeno county. Tho variation in tho proportion of land in farms is con fined to no particular section, ex cept that In general tho countlos ad Joining tho boundaries of the Stato Bhnw a higher porcentago of farms than do the counties In tho central part of tho State. i i i i i i I- ! 4. INTEREST TO - Tho average valuo of farm land per aero for tho wholo Stato is $33. 92, and In only two countries, Cnm eron nnd Fulton, nro tho nverago values less than 10 per cent. In 29 contiguous counties, located mostly in tho northern part of tho Stato, tho avorago values rango from $10 to $25 per acre. Twenty-eight coun ties aro In tho $25 to $50 per aero class, and of these, 16 form a group lying in the eastern and southeast ern part of tho Stato, while a group of 1 1 lies In tho western nnd south western part, and ono county, Krle, In tho extremo northwestern corner. Don't. Don't oil tho curtain of your open front house. It will rot and go to pieces. Don't depend on leaves for scratching material. The hens soon scratch them to dust. Don't buy a stack of corn unless vnn havo n well ventilated nlncn to ! storo it. It will mold. Don't forget max success with poultry depends on tho quality of tho fowls and their earo moro than on tho size of tho flock. Don't got discouraged if thoso pul lets don't lay right on tho day you set. Soma grow fast, somo grow slow and before they lay must ma ture, you know. .Don't despise oats as a grain be cause of its husks. It Is the best balanced grain In protein and car bohydrates and Is a wonderful frame builder and musclo maker. Don't get so fascinated with birds at the show as to forget that many show birds aro the result of the ri diculous double mating system and when mated cannot produco their kind. Livo Stock Notes. Linseed meal contains bone-forming matter. Horses with tender feet need lots of attention. In the purchase of a now horse at ways purchase a mare. No domestic animals increase or decrease as rapidly as pigs. Parasites common to sheep infest southern flocks just as elsewhere. Keeping comfortable goes a long ways toward making cheap pork. It is a mistake if the hog is not fed in a clean place free from dust and mud. It should bo remembered that a horse can do more than his feet will stand. Any work or exerijiso which pro duces severe strain on the muscles, especially of the hindquarters, is lia ble to cause abortion In mares. The Koso Scale, Thero Is a mealy, white scale in sect often found upon rose bushes, ! and raspberry and blackberry plants, I which is sometimes mistaken for the San Joso scale. Growers of roses, raspberries and blackberries should watch for this and treat it according to the directions given by Prof. II. A. Surface, State Zoologist of Pennsyl , vania, Harrlsburg. He says, "although this pest Te sembles superficially tho San Joso scale, It is by no means the same pest, nor is it so serious. While tho I San Joso scale may attack nearly all i fruit trees excepting tho Kieffer pear i and sour cherry, and also several kinds of shrubbery, and, indeed, I some other trees, the Itoso scalo is ! practically confined to rose bushes and berry bushes. Tho scales are very white and clr ' cular in shape, and aro easily brush I ed from the plants attacked. They are, llko the scale insects, difficult to kill If tho right. materials are not I used, but very easily destroyed If ono ' understands spraying for scalo In sects. Tho lime-sulfur solution made, dl'"tcl and applied exactly as for San Joso scalo, and at the same time i or in other words, while tho bushes 1 or vines aro dormant, will ho sulll 1 dent to entirely control or eradicate this pest. Either homo-boiled or com mercial lime-sulfur solution will glvo satisfactory results, providing it Is used thoroughly. Thero is no danger applying it too strong for tho wel , faro of tho plants."

Making- Jabots, Many of thoso who admire tho fan cy neckwear and dainty jabots with frills and lace to be seen In tho shops may not know that somo of thoso designs can bo copied quite easily. To make one of white and palo pink iinen take a triangular piece of pink linen and apply to tho white by means of a row of buttonhole stitch ing. Groups of coinspots aro then worked on tho linen, and a narrow lace edging is sewed around the lin en, which is then laid In narrow pleats and stitched in place. An oblong piece of lino white cot ton voile, with a pointed end, has three tiny thread tucks on tho point, run by hand. Wide lace is then sewed fast to tho edge, with the corners mitred, where tho point turns. This is then laid in a triple box pleat, the straight edge turned over and sowed down, and a row of I small black satin buttons sewed down tho centre. From tho topmost button two lit tle inverted revers of black satin ex tend half-way to tho point. This makes a novel looking jabot. The jabot of embroidery, not and Irish laco is very elaborate, but with little trouble it can be made at home. If you happen to have a bit of old embroidery, say the fichu that your grandmother wore when sho was a young woman, It will make a beauti ful bit for tho centre of the jabot. Othrwlso you can buy a rever of em-j broidered linen and attach tho pleat ed net to tho under side of one edge. un tno other side is a pleating of lin en edged with Irish crochet. Pale blue linen embroidered with a dainty vine is joined to a pointed pleco of white linen worked with small eyelets to form tho side re vers, that has an under pleating of fine laco edged linen. It Is very easy to make a new par asol of an old ono by carefully rip ping off the old cloth and using it as a pattern to cut a now one, which may bo made either of cretonne or English chintz.

Jan. 23. The hand of William J. Bryan was laid on the house of representatives and that body gave its Indorsement to ono proposition that the Nebrasknu has been advocating in neason and out for a long time. The house adopted nn amendment to a ju diciary bill, the amendment providing that "before the president shall appoint any district, circuit or supreme Judge he ahull make public all indorsements made In behalf of any applicant." Mr. Bryun has repeatedly urged in the Commoner the enactment of a law of this sort. While President Taft was on his western trip last summer Mr. Bryan made n public speech on the subject, to which Mr. Taft replied. Only a short time ago Mr. Bryan, speaking at the Jackson day banquet here, urged this scheme for publicity of Judicial Indorsements, but the Dem ocrats did not anticipate that one of their number would spring the propo sition. Itepresentatlve Cullop of Indi ana, a Bryan follower, turned the trick. He offered the above amendment to the Evans bill, which creates an addi tional district judge In Chicago and drops one circuit Judgeship, the latter being the one caused by the resigna tion of Judge Grosscup.
