is not made on the farm In sufficient
quantities to give paying crops n the

able distance of a market such a farm
could be gradually turned into a poultry
farm, and, at least, make a good living
for the family. The sandy soil would be
ideal for poultry and still some of it would
be good enough to grow the bulk OF their
food, while the fertilizers could be more
heavily used on the portions which must
furnish the crops for home use or for the
other farm animals. It is not possible to

Rockefeller's fortune are frequently
overlooked in making computations of
his wealth. These are his holdings Of
real estate and mortgages and Of gov
ernment and municipal bonds. Both are
so vast that If we undertook to follow
out the threads that lead to them they
would take us to every part of the Unit

While Mr.. Rockefeller's real estate
holdings would amount to probably
$1O,000,00O, such investment does not
prove very attractive venture for the
astute financier. He prefers to let the
other fellow own the real estate and he
hold the mortgage. The city of Cleve-
land is an example of this. He owns
valuable property there-Forest Hills
and his Tarrytown IN. W estate is
truly baronial in it's magnificent proper
tions, but these are nothing in COM

Cleveland he holds a $100, 900 mortgage
on the principal hotel, a mortgage for
a like amount on large wholesale busi-
ness, and banking and street railway
holdings which would bring the total to
100000 in the Ohio city alone.
But Cleveland is not the only city in
the United States that is doing good
part of its business on John D. Rookie
feller's money and paying him well for
the privilege. New York, Chicago, Pitts
burg and Buffalo are cases in point.
