REAL ESTATE INVEST
MENT co.

Real estate is essentially the pri-
mary factor in the economy of a COM
munity, and it's status is the surest in
deX of a peoples prosperity 1t au-
gurs well for city which is able
to show substantial increases in
its real estate values from one year
to another, and at the same time ex-
hibit visible and valid reason for such
enhancement. Any rise founded on
other than natural grounds is certain to
rebound to the detriment of town. Con-
servatism, then, must be the keynote
of any advancement in values which
has the element of endurance. AL
though Salt Lake City has made as
tonishing strides in the value of its
real property during the past five or
six years, plenty proof is in evidence
that present quotations are more than
warranted by local conditions and com.
PARSONS with outside cities. Apropos
to Salt Lake City's rapid growth it
ought to be said that the realty brok-
ers have accomplished much in the
shaping of conditions which have
made possible the enormous expan-
sion. In the placing of outside capital
it is largely their judgment and ad-
vice which prompted the choice of To-
cation, improvements, etc., and the
gratifying returns from investments
have eXerted a wide influence in at
tracing additional money and creating
renewed activity. No real estate agency
has taken a more important part in
this work than than the Anderson Real
Estate Investment Company The Of
ficers of the company are J. G.. Ander-
son, Jr, president, and j. M. Anderson,
secretary and treasurer. They do a
general real estate business in city
and country property and make a spe-
cialty of building homes on the Install
ment plan. They have building lots for
sale in all parts of the city suitable for
all classes of purchasers and will build
house to suit the purchaser, allowing
him to pay for it in monthly install
ments. The company have at present
time contracts at Garfield, Utah, for
upward of five hundred homes, all OF
which will be built during the coming
summer. The company also does a
fire insurance business and are the
representatives of the Springfield Fire
& Marine Insurance Company, OF
Springfield, Mass. This company had
number of risks at San Francisco
which have already been met and the
money sent to cover the losses with
out the slightest detriment to the
stockholders. The Anderson Real Els
tate Investment Company's offices are
at Nos. 300-301 Herald Building.

Trials of q Turkey Raiser.

Members of the House of Representa-
tives are having quite a lot of fun at
the expense of Representative Charles
d. Lands of Indiana, who has been
making some experiments in turkey
raising.
Representative Lands bought a few
pairs of bronze turkeys, paying a big
price for them, spent a lot of money in
a turkey house, with all the comforts
of turkey home, heated rooms for the
expected chicks, etc, and laid in a stock
of literature on how to get rich on tur.
key raising. 3
AT the outset one of the finest hens
became dissatisfied with the luxuries Of
home and finding the trammels of the
modern method distasteful made off for
the woods. The other hens stayed at
home, however, and in due time
brought out five broods of fifteen or SO,
fine little chicks. They were being ten
derby reared but n day escaped and
went into a wheat field for a change of
diet. A rain storm overlook them
they caught cold and every young
turkey died. Turkev-raiser Lands was
disconsolate over his loss and while
he was bewailing the fate of the young
brood, in stalked the insurgent turkey

caroni wheat and proudly branding

of bread wheat flour making a most
valuable article for bread making and
pastry cooking. Macaroni -four is also
used for ordinary bread making. Tests
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture and by private families have de

nutritious, many people preferring 1t

KeeDing Records on the Farm.

The Bureau of Animal Industry has
published a very valuable book giving
Records of Dairy Cows in the United
States" This publication contains
valuable information and excellent
halftone illustrations Of record COWS OF
the country. 1t urges dairymen to
ADOPT better business methods on the
farm-a complete system of bookkeep-
ing whereby definite knowledge OF the
sources of profit and loss may be ascer-
tanned. In no department connected
with the farm is there more need for
absolute data than in the dairy. While
village merchants and grocers, for ex-
ample average about alike in their
knowledge of their businesses, their
prices and profits being nearly equal,
the records show that there are pro-
gressive and unprogressive dairymen,
one making a good profit while his
next door neighbor with the same soil
and market may be losing money. The
difference in their profits therefore
must be accounted for largely by the
difference in the intelligence put into
their business. Experts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture believe that one
fourth of the cows in the entire coun-
try kept for milk do not pay for the
cost of keeping and nearly one-fourth
more fail to yield an annual profit. The
object of the book issued by the Bureau
is to show dairymen the Importance of
keeping records complete enough so
that 1t will be possible to avoid the
handling of Improbable animals and
to bring the dairy industry of the coun-
try up to a paying basis.

The introduction of macaroni wheat
into the United States came about
through the pilgrimage to Europe and
Asiatic Russia in 1899 Of Mark A.
Carleton, Of the Department of Agri-
culture, (then the assistant In charge
of cereal investigation.) He was sent
there by the Secretary of Agriculture
in order to gain all possible information
in regard to macaroni wheat and to
select such varieties as would probably
succeed in the great grain regions and
especially in semi arid portions where
the ordinary bread wheats were some
times at best but an Indifferent crop.

agreeable. The value of the Weather
Bureau records is appreciated and the
thorough cooperation of its officials Is
acknowledged. With the increase In
the number of observing stations and
more comprehensive and complete
meteorological data at hand, theweatber
service will naturally be a still more
important factor In the adjustment Of

phases may enter.
