Payne Tariff indicates Self During
First Year, Assertion Of its
Author.
Washington, Aug. s-The Payne
Aldrich tariff law has produced in its
first year revenue greater by $75, 600
900 than the sum collected in any year
in the country's history except the ban
ner year of 1907. according to treasury
department figures issued today. The
second year of the operation of the
new tariff began today.
Auburn, N. Y. Aug. S.-Rep Serene
e. Payne, author of the Payne tariff
bill. in an interview here, reviewed the
work of the Payne tariff law during its
existencefof one year. He said:
Anyone who has followed what
have said upon the subject for the last
year is fully aware that l have never
had doubt but that the law would
amply Justify and vindicate itself. 1t
has been misrepresented and traduced
probably more than any law ever put
on the statute books during the brief
term of it's existence; but its enemies
are gradually shifting their ground.
Few of them now have the hardihood
to say that it is q revision upward.
Most of them will admit that it is a
revision downward, but, like senator
who spoke the other day, endeavor to
belittle the amount of the downward
revision. He admitted that there was
a reduction of per cent. The ad va.
loren on dutiable goods under the Ding
ley law was 1910; under the present
law it is 10 per cent less, viz, 41.l9.
The average ad valorem on all import
ed goods under the Dingley law was
25.46. 1t is nearly IS per cent less un-
der the present law, viz 20.95
'In framing the bill the committee
sought to make duty representing the
difference in cost of labor and furnish a
reasonable profit, whether it reduced or
or increased the duties. All our in
quiries were with this end in view. In
fixing the rates we took up every para
graph, read aloud the material evidence
and by majority vote fixed the duty
with this end in view. Of course.
members differed as to what rate would
exactly equal the difference in labor and
yield a reasonable profit. But the earn
est endeavor wrs to fix just that rate.
The main criticism has been upon a
schedule upon which we could not
agree upon any change by majority
vote. But no valid criticism has yet
been made of any paragraph where the
committee was able to agree upon a
new rate

OUT OF HOUSE and HOME
Charles W. Hess Loses House, Barn. and
Other Buildings by Fire Last
Friday Night.
VERY LITTLE, IP ANY. INSURANCE.

Charles W. Hess, who owns
part of the old Dorsey Hess prop
er.y at the western base of Scrub
Ridge in Licking Greek township,
last fall purchased from the heirs
the Jackson Strait property at
Straits Bridge, ON the road lead
ing from Saluvia to Sipes Mills.
A few weeks ago, Mr.. Hess, with
his family, moved to their new
property-they living in one side
of the house, and George Strait
and his sister Miss Fannie living
in the other.
Last Friday evening they all
went to the Christian church to
paeaching, and on their return,
stirred up the fire enough to get
warm and then all went to bed.
Later IN the night, some of the
members of the household were
awakened, almost strangled by
smoke, aud discovered IN an inr-
slant from the cracking and roar
of flames that the house was afire.
1t was with difficulty that the
members of the family escaped
from the burning building, being
obliged to leave most of their
wearing apparel behind.
The strong wind made itimpos
sible to sontrol the fire or even to
get anything of consequence out
of the house; and to add to their
misfortune, it was found that the
wind had carried burning EN- bers
to the barn, and 1t was already
beginning to burn furiously.
Half frantic, the men rushed to
the barn, and were barely able to
rescue the live stock before &C
cess TO the building was entirely
cut off, and they were obliged to
stand helpless and witness the
total destruction of the building,
together with the wagonshed ad-
joining, all the grain and rough
feed, and many of the farming
implements that had been stored
In the barnfoor and IN lhe wagon
shed.
This Is hard luck for Mr.. and
Mrs. Charlie Hess, as well as for
MIR. Strait and his sister, who
lost all their household goods.
1t Is said that Charlie had some
insurance on his household goods
In his old home, but whether the
insurance will be effective IN the
new without q transfer remains
to be seen.

PLANTS and THEIR PESTS.

RABBITS ARE PEEuNd TREES.

The earth being covered with

DIVISION OF Zoology Of the Penn

ture, In regard to trees beng
damaged and destroyed by rab-
bits preying upon the bark. One
grower in Westmoreland County
wrote to State Zoologist H. A.
Surface, stating that Of 1900
trees, planted one, two and three
years ago, and which made nice
growth. quite a number have had
their bark peeled off by rabbits.
He asked for some simple remedy
to prevent this destruction, and
made this further inquiry:
Would black, roof paint-some
thing of a coal tar nature-be in
jurious to the treesY 1 have tried
1t on q few trees, and the rabbits
have not worked of such trees,
and this would be an easy way to
stop them, but l am afraid l
might injure the trees by such
an application"
The advice of Professor Sur
face was to the following effect:
"Replying to your recent letter
asking how to prevent rabbits
from peeliug your young trees, 1
beg to say that the chief thing to
do is to cut some branches from
trees that need pruning (from
either these or older trees), and
drop the branches on the snow
where the rabbits can get at
them. The next thing is to paint
the trunks OF your young trees
with pure white lead and q good
quality of raw llnseed oil.
"Painting or spraying with
lime.sulphur wash, or with the
sediment that is left from boiling
lime.sulphur wash for San Jose
scale. will also prevent INJURY for
some time. Some persons re-
commend killing . rabbit and
rubbing Its insides over the
trunks Of the trees. Blood paint
ed or sprayed on the trunks Of
trees Is often used to repel them.
Personally, l prefer either the
paint or the hme-sulphur wash
mentioned above. / have tried
both, in our experiments on my
own trees, with good results.
"CoaI tar might be all right,
but know where a nice orchard
Of young apple trees was killed
by painting with coal tar and I'm
seed oil, and I hesitate to recon-
mend this on that account. l
have never tried 1t on my own
trees, and I am satisfied with the
efficacy OF the linseed oil and
white lead treatment"
