ENORMOUS FARM VALUES.


The census bureau has recently
made report on the farm values Of
today in the United states, as COM
pared with the values of ten years ago
that makes most remarkable show
ing. In 1900 the agricultural land OF
the country was valued i'm round fig
ures. at $4,000, 100000. I'm the ten fol-
lowing years Il Increased in value no
less than IFS per cent to $4,000, 900, OOO.
Including the buildings and agricul-
tural equipment, the total value now
is nearly $4,000. OOO. OOO, as compared
with $17OOO.OOO.OO in 1900. In the
number of farms there has been an
increase from 5.7S7.S72 to 6,3lO.120. or
II per cent. The area titled increased
from S35. O92. O0O acres To S73,703,000 or
. per cent-an interesting figure as
showing the tendency 20 smaller aver
age holdings. The average value per
acre of our farms was i'm 1900, $3.50,
and in 1910. $325O per acre. The move
ment toward the use of improved farm
is reflected in the increase
of the value of agricultural simple
ments from $3.50. 600 in 1900 To ST.
26O 900, 600 ten years later Thus, while
the total acreage titled increased only
9 per cent, the value of implements
used in tilling increased 6S per cent.

At six Sam started for the town,
AT eight the coin was spent;

Then over hills he went
To see the barn Of Walter Chase,
A model of it's kind.
(F'or some such barn for his own place

Not long ago in Parsons busy till
The dollar had a rest
For sam was hardly up the hill
Before the coin was pressed
In Humphreys hand to fix horse
That day had east a shoe;
And so the dollar kept It's course
To other people, too,
Until 1t came to Henry Black.
Now, meanwhile, Sam that day
Had seen the barn and started back
Along his homeward way.
His good wife met him with a kiss
And said to him, See here
