: Augusta Chronicle: Georgia can
raise better hogs and cattle than the
West; better turnips than Nova Scotia,
and at least equals Maryland in terra
pin and oysters. Her fish supply IS
superb along the coast and in the wa
ter courses Of the inland. Experts
say that she has a gold belt superior
to that Of the Pacific States. Her pos.
sum and Eaters cannot be surpassed.
Her peaches do not challenge those of
California OIL Delaware, but easily
take first rank, and If her Indian peacl,
were revived there would be no kind
Of comparison. Texas raises more cot.
ton, but Texas is nowhere in manu-.
facture of the fabric in rivalry with
Georgia. We regret to say that Geor.
gia is delinquent in one thlng-she ap-
parently prefers to p%atronize products
away from home, when her own home
Industries are just as good and can be
had at better rates.

Family Of Kittens and squirrels.
I On the farm of Amos NJ. Collins, near
cambridge, O., dwells a most curious
" assorted family, presided over by a
demure house cat. Several weeks ago
Tabby gave birth to, a pair of healthy
kittens. When old enough to get about
they went on a foraging expedition in
a fvood neal by, accompanied by the
Egther. In their journey they discov-
efSd a gray squirrels nest. in which
ivy young squirrels lay sleeping. The
@friosity Of the kittens was aroused,
did they soon made friends with the
squirrels, and while the mother cat sat
contentedly on a log kittens and SOUR
rels enjoyed a frolic. When 1t finally
became dusk the cat quickly took one
OF the squirrels in her mouth and car
ried 1t to the farm, returning for the
other one in d few minutes. The SPUR.
rels are now safely housed with the
kittens, and the cat watches over the
children Of her adoption as carefully
rs over her own offspring.

heal Estate Va.u.l,in New York.

Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, has a
paper on "Places in New York" in the
Century. Speaking of the rapid in
crease of value of real estate in that
city, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, says: Two
miles from the City Hall?,V Very much
farther away than this stands the new
Herald building, where Broadway
and Sixth n intersect. In 1915
the city owned its site, and sold it for
50, $50. Tho Herald now pays rent
for it-for the land alone-at the rate
of $50, 900 a year. At the same sale
many years ago u corner lot on Fifth
avenue and Forty-Second street
brought 81, 400, and in 1910 four hun
dred lots on Fifth avenue above
Twentieth street were sold at prices
ranging from 5000 to $500. Within
twenty years some of these were sold
for $15, 900 each, and you may guess
their present worth for yourself, re-
membering that business and business
values have now moved into this
region also.
Less than twenty years ago a much
more northerly district, between Fifty
ninth and One Hundred and Tenth
streets, west of Eighth avenue, would
have shown you little but rocks and
puddles and predatory goats and boys.
Now much more than half it's surface
is covered with buildings, all of a very
good class, and their estimated cost
has been s17O, 600, 600. Land up
here is more precious than was land
two miles from the City Hall in the
days of Philip Hone. And it is just
rs easy now as then to grow greatly
richer in New York, if you are al
ready rich enough to buy little bits OF
its soil, and to hold on to them for q
| little while.
