REAL ESTATE & BUILDING.
THE DESIRAl,ILITY OF SMALL
DWELLINGS AS INVESTMENTS.
Plans for Developing the Northeast Sec
tion-Looking for "A Brisker Market
Cold Weather and tho Holidays Ar
rest Building Operations.

No appreciable change In the local real estate
market was noticed during the past week, the
buying of Christmas goods and the retention
of funds for settling yearly accounts being
the apparent cause. A few quite important
sales were made, however. 1t can be safely
said that most prosperous and busy season
is indicated. The dealers are making extern
sive preparations In anticipation OF such
season during the coming year. Not few
dealers will next season engage
quite largely in the buying of CITY
lots, which can be had at low figures,
and the erecting thereon of houses desirable
In size and price for those buyers who desire
TO invest In homes for their own occupancy.
The great majority OF the houses will, of
course, be erected in the northeast section
of the city, although land for such purposes
will be taken wherever practicable. Another
feature in this direction is movement which
is being sought to be inaugurated, having for
Its object the establishment of a street rail-
way, which will afford the people of the
northeastern section greater transportation
facilities. There is great need of such i'm
proved facilities felt In that section, and once
accomplished tremendous rise in real estate
values there will be witnessed.
AS may well be expected at this time of the
year transactions in the building world
have steadily decreased during the past week.
Two causes may be assigned--the uufavor-
able conditions for building, that is, freezing
weather, and the approach of the holidays
Naturally enough, no real change In building
affairs is expected before February or March,
when the spring work will be commenced.
That the coming season will be an unusually
brisk one is already evidenced by the increased
order for plans now being received by local
architects.
During the week ending December Is but
seven permits were issued by the inspector of
buildings for the erection of fourteen build
fngs, the total cost being $50, 900, an average
We're located as follows: Northwest, 3 at a
total cost of $1,000; northeast, 2 at a total

THE DAIRY.
Feeding OF COW. aud Calves.

Experiments at the Iowa Station
gave the following facts or indica-
tions: Quality Of milk SO far as
measured by its percentage of fat was
changed by feed to much greater
degree than was quantity. Two
thirds of the increase in average gross
yield Of butter fat was due to i'm
proved quality of the milk, and only
one-third to increased milk-flow.
Corn is not a perfect milk ration.
Substitution of bran and oilmeal re-
suit in increase of quantity and quail
ity of milk. A ration of skim-milk
and ground flaxseed compares favor
ably with q new ration for young
calves. The larger gain came from
the whole milk but part of it was
partly due to the individuality Of the
calves and good results and thrifty
growth were made on skim-milk and
ground flaxseed. The skim-milk calves
were interrupted less in growth by
weaving than the whole milk calves.
a saving -vaiuo OF buoocr- fat afonv
of $1.11 per month on each calf was
effected by substituting ground fax
seed.
The cost of producing q pound of
gain estimating new milk at 874 cents
per 100 pounds and skim-milk at Is
cents per 100, gain l cent per pound,
hay IS per ton, and faxseed meal 81
cents per pound, was 10 cents for the
fresh milk ration and 5 cents for the
skim-milk ration.

Horse breeding.

The special demand for certain
classes of horses is or ought to be well
known by everybody, but judging
from the fact Mat so many scrubs are
yet bred is evidence enough, says the
Rural and Stockman, that this de-
mand is either not known or not APP
preciated. There is a demand for
good horses of all breeds. The market
is not overstOcked in any direction
whatever The heavy draft horses
are always in demand; the Handle
tonian sells readily enough; the
Morgan is always in demand; the
Coacher is not imported or bred
largely enough to satisfy the demand
for that class of horses. What then
shall we breed? From what we have
said the proper answer would seem to
be: "Breed anything but the scrubs. "
There are horses at work in Chicago
that cost only from ten to forty
dollars; and they do the work at
which they are put. Some of them
are not very old horses either. But
they are scrubs to begin with and per-
haps having been bred from defective
sires or dams have been good for moth
ing from the beginning. They are
not the kind of horses that the public
in general want. Looking over our
weekly horse sales it is not difficult to
see what kind of horses we ought to
breed If we want to make anything
from horse breeding. Horses are like
all other kinds of stock in the matter
of profit, they must be the best to be
profitable.

THE POULTRY-YARD.
A PLAN fer wln.er Egr..

A secret Of winter egg production
is warm quarters for the fowls, writes
A. r. Stuyvesant, in Farm and
Home. A friend who always mas
quantities of eggs when they bring
30 cents to 40 cents per dozen, has a
novel place for his hens bed room. 1t
is in'the side of a haymow, which
keeps the birds warm all winter. To
take advantage of such accommoda-
tions the space must be built in the
side of the hay before the hay Is put
In. Built the size of cord of wood,
AKA and feet long, it will nicely
quarter twenty to twenty-five hens.
The room for fowls should join the
NOW on the south or west, and the
sleeping compartments open from it
under the hay as shown. This will
keep off all severe winds and dan
gerous drafts, The cut represents
the side of the room next the hay.
The two doors thrown open expose
the entire roosting room, which is
thus easily cleaned. Gauze covers an
aperture at the top of one door for
ventilation CAY warm nights and can

Queen Emma 0 the Sandwich Islands.

The Queen of the Sandwich Islands
is not only very great favorite with
the natives, but is also largely affected
by the English colony. She has been
twice to England and received much
attention and many presents from
Queen Victoria. Her one-quarter quota
of native blood gives her the appear
ance of brunette. She is 40 years
old, and, like all native women whose
Ives are of content and easy Incidence,
seems to be much younger. She re-
sembles the pictures Of Victoria taken
twenty years ago. Queen Emma is
what at an American watering place
might be termed stunning" dresser,
and is possessed of a mania for being
photographed in different costumes and
attitudes. At Montano's, the swell
photographer Of Honolulu, she is seen
In no less than twenty-five different

LIVE STOCK.


A hcifer has no rings on her horns
until the is years OF age, and one
is added each year thereafter. You
can therefore tell the age of COW
with tolerable accuracy by counting
the rings on her horns and adding
two to the number. The bull has
no rings, as rule, until he Is 5 years
old, so to tell his age after that period,
add five to the number OF rings. The
better way to tell the age Is by the
teeth, which is of course the only way
with polled cattle. What are called

front. At the end of three years the
second pair of permanent teeth are
well grown, ut four years the third
pair. and at five the fourth and last
pair have appeared, and at this time
the central pair arc OF full size. At
seven years a dark line, caused by
the wearing OF the teeth, appears on
all OF them, and on the central pair a
circular mark. At eight years this
circular mark appears on all Of them,
and at nine years the central pair be-
gins to shrink, and the third at
eleven. After this period the age
can only be determined by the degree
OF shrinkage. generally. At fifteen
the teeth are nearly all gone.

The value OF Kn.llngn.

The Maryland agricultural expert
ment station reports the best method
Of preserving forage and the compare
tive value of the same plant, harvest
ed and stored in different WAYS, form
part of the general problem of forage
and feeding. The system OF silos and
ensilage, is no longer an experiment.
Practical farmers and dairymen in all
parts of the country have demon
strated the direct profit and the Incl
dental advantages of preserving a
portion of their forage crops In the
form OF ensilage, so as to give their
animals, of all kinds. a fair proper
tion OF succulent food, throughout
the year. Ensilage is found as profit
able for supplementing pasturage in
times of drought, as for giving stock
"a green bite" in the winter. Indian
corn is the favoritc crop OF ensilage,
the most productive, the easiest to
raise, and, all considered. the best.
But clovers, the cow-pea and the sofa
bean, make q more nutritious article
OF ensilage, and may be advantageous
ly mixed with corn, In the sllo. Other
plants and waste products, some I'M
palatable in other forms, make fairly
good ensilage.
EnsIlagc Is no better food for stock
than good roots, but in nine case out
OF ten, ensilage can be produced and
handled easier and cheaper than
roots, and Is just as good for stock
food. A good many points regarding
silos and ensilage remain unknown or

tails that farming requires that has
caused the failure OF schemes OF
bonanza farming. What is done by
hired help, not under personal super
vision of the employers eye, is apt TO
do only eye service. 1t is as true
practically as when first uttered, that
the hireling fleeth because he Is
hireling. The workman in any oc-
cupation who always makes his en-
ployer's interest his own is invaluable.
Yet IL he would but regard 1t rightly
that interest Is identical with his
The keen competition for intelligent,
reliable help insurcs it what 1T can
earn. for y one employer will not pay
for faithful service, another will.
1t is therefore not likely that farm
wages will soon. If ever, materially
decline. The demand for young men
in city employments has for many
years taken the most active and en-
terprislng-more than it will, we be-
lieve, in the near future. Business
life in cities is precarious. Few mer-
chants can go through life without a
failure at its middle or at the close.
The fact is becoming recognized that
equal executive ability on the farm
will, on the average, produce as much
wealth and more comfort than 1t can
in average business and commercial
city enterprises. Except in the item
of farp help, and possibly also in
that, the cost Of getting farm work
done bns declined, the aggregate ex-
pense il greater, but it is or may be
Offset by still larger results. One man
with improved machinery can do so
much more work that not only does
he earn better pay, but something is
or ought to be left over for the farmer
II he does his part.
There is also great reduction in the
prices of most improved agricultural
machinery. AS various patents run
out the cost from the manufacturers
will be greatly lessened. This is to a
greater extent than is thought true
now in machinery where there
is rightful competition of firms
manufacturing under different pat
ents. Any one now can buy reap
ers, mowers, drills and cultivatorS
90 to 30 per cent. cheaper than was
charged for them a decade ago.
The greatest reduction of farm ex-
penses however, must be relative by
increasing amount and value Of its
products. Rich and well-drained land
produces so much more than that in
poor condition as to give the farmer
who owns the best farm great adj
vantage. He and his hired help may
work nc harder, and possibly not so
many hours, but they accomplish
more, and thereby produce at less
cost. This is the only practical way
to make farming pay. The man who
does not improve his farm, and waits
for a high price to help out his poor
farming, will learn when the good
prices come that he has so little to
sell that it does not profit him much.
On the other hand, il he conducts his
business SO as to produce large crops
these can usually be sold at some
profit in any condition Of the market.
