Gentlemen" Dealer

London Express: The great rob-
berry at Mt. Wertheimer's mansion In
Park Lane recalls the fact that the
method of buying and selling objects
of art has undergone considerable
change during recent years. Form
eriy the art dealer ensconced himself
exclusively in shops in fashionable
streets in the st. James district. and
advertised his presence there by a
single chair in the window or a Jap
anese vase.
But the gentleman dealer has
come on the scene, and In the last
seven or eight years has taken away
the cream of the trade from the man
behind the counter.

SUGAR PRICES ON THE RISE


In anticipation OF increased demand
sugar went UP 20 cents a hundred
weight Saturday morning. Sugar is
lower in price from November to
March because the demand Is then the
lightest OF the year and dealers are
anxious to dispose OF their stocks
which invites rivalry and lower prices
An experienced groceryman declares
that sharp advance In sugar may be
anticipated because England has been
buying some cane sugar In Cuba lately
which she has not boon in the habit
OF doing In the past He asserts that
save for a small amount OF cane sugar

commission makes it possible for the
latter to become the possessor Of the

So it has come about that the
gentleman dealer has gradually be-

commerce. Not only does he sell you

or you may have the entire room in

you must not take away is the family

One day they draw up chairs whose
value is calculated in enormous fig

that have prevailed In eastern Ne
braska. and the reverses farming has
suffered for the period included in the
life Of this plantation, knows that this
would be splendid showing for any
sort of crop. 1t should be remembered
that one-third Of this grove was on
poor land, and because Of the impov-
erished condition Of the soil, the trees
were only just reaching post Size when
they were cut. This portion Of the
plantation would have been much moro
profitable had it been allowed to stand
few years longer.
Based upon careful measurements
made in this plantation by the United
States forest service q year or SO be-
fore it was harvested, it is estimated
that had the thirteen acres on virgin
prairie soil been harvested and
marketed alone the net annual returns
for this portion would have been $500
per acre, after allowing per cent
compound interest for deferred pay
ment.
The old stumps have sent up Wig
orous growth OF sprouts the past sum
mer, and the owner expects to harvest
a second crop in ten years. During tho
summer the sprouts were thinned out
to the one, or in a few cases to the
two. most promising sprouts at each
stump These have made a growth of
from four to nine feet the past sum-
mer.
The cordwood sold readily at home,
and is giving splendid satisfaction.
There was a good sale for the fence
posts among the farmers OF the vicin-
ity, though most OF them sold in car

the western part Of the state.
Mr.. Robinson, writing in regard to
his grove, says: II am well pleased
with the result. 1t has bean a source
OF a great deal Of pleasure and very
little bother or worry-yes, did worry
some last fan for fear I might not
find market for my stuff, but now I
worry because ] cannot supply the
demand for my posts. I could sell co.
900 more this spring If 1 had them.
"If / had 1t to do over I could rea-
lize a little more from the same tim
Der. should have had fifteen cents
each for the posts which I sold for
twelve and one-half cents. They were
a fine post, and would have sold
readily at fifteen cents. I also found a
good sale for ten foot posts for stables
and sheds, and could have sold several
thousand fourteen and sixteen foot
poles for sheds and cross country tele-
phone poles"
In establishing, maintaining, and
harvesting this grove Mr. Robinson
has hired everything done and paid
good wages. A farmer could have done
most of the work himself at odd times
and could have easily saved one-half
the expense. Nevertheless the enter
prise has been a profitable one and is
splendid object lesson in showing
what can be done in forest planting
when rightly handled.
