BROOKLYN REAL ESTATE STRONG.
Now Is the Time for Investors To Be Active
There, Saws W. E. Harmon.

In speaking about real estate conditions in Brook
I,,-, William Z Harmon said yesterday that. though
the volume Of sales made in the borough in the
last six months had not been large, some prop
critics had changed hands at record prices he
further said:
feet Oh Brooklyn property, coming as II did in
the midst of a most depressing period. Had 1t
been opened at time of general activity 1t would
have had q tremendous effect in booming prices
II is perhaps better it is 1t adds one more
means for placing Brooklyn in the position which
IT will soon reach. of having the plurality OF the
inhabitants OF New York living there and gradually
forcing prices up TO where they belong
Lower realty prices in Brooklyn are not to be
exnected In the last three years property has. as
q general thing advanced steadily in value. We
may have slow year. but sucn years are best
for careful investors, and investments in real es-

inevitable that distress should result?
But how shall we get good out of
our hay? We need the money What
snail we do to get it?
1t is fair question. Let us find the
answer in this, which is one of the
best ways that can be devised: Keep
the hay on the farm. Feed it to stock
and turn the hay into milk, butter or
beef. Then sell the milk or the butter
or the beef and get your money. At
the same time the farm fertility will be
maintained.
Young stock will take hay and in
short space of time turn the hay into
good money. 1t takes but a compara-
lively short time for a yearling to
grow into full-sized beef creature
The man who invests his money in
calves will be surprised at the ease and
rapidly with which he can turn his
money.
And after this has been done he
has his farm in just as good if not
better condition than it was in the be-
ginning.

LESS LAND BUT MORE WORK
Too Many Farmers Bite Off
More Than They Can or Are
Willing to CuItivatts
BY H, H. SHEPARD.

doou farmers are now planning for
next years work. Too many of them
are planning to do bigger things. They
are land hungry and Jealous of their
nelghbors who own bigger farms than
they do.
ZOO many little farmers get this
land-grabbing fever and the result is
generally disastrous. 1t takes big
man to run a big farm. 1t takes a
pretty big man to run a small farm,
too, but the man who has spent years
IN Intensive culture is not well trained
to branch out into stock farming or
grain farming. The methods are en-
tirely different.
Land Is good Investment provided
the owner is man Of sufficient caliber
to employ the necessary help, plan the
work and dispose of his crops to adj
vantage. If he owns enough land to
give farms to considerable number
OF tenants he must be man Of very
huch more than average business abil-
ity or he will fail
thousands of men are land poor.
They own big tracts of productive
land, but have not the ability to make
money out of it. They have bitten off
more than they can chew.
The land poor man struggles through
life trying to pay interest ON his debts
or to Keep his land out of the hands
OF the money loaners, and his energies
are employed in this unproductive work
instead of raising crops and cattle and
hogs and sheep.
1t is a great mistake for any farmer
VINO owns forty acres or more to go
INTO debt for more land unless he has
sons who are born farmers who are
willing to stay on the farm and share
with him the work and the profits. The
scarcity of farm labor makes large
areas Of land a difficult problem to
handle, and the wise farmer is the one
who will stick to his little farm. which
has given him a living and added to his
bank account without breaking him
down.
Nearly all of the great ranches of
the west are being cut up into small
farms because they cannot be worked
prontably In these times of high
priced labor. But just as the concen-
tration fever has struck the west it is
the expansion fever which is begin
ming to show in the east. Farmers ir
New York, Pennsylvania and al
through New England who have been
satisfied with small farms are sudden
" becoming land hungry. They are
reaching out to add to their acres. ane
IT is now no uncommon thing for
farmer to own from 500 to 1000 acres
in one body, something rarely known ir
former years.
IT is all a mistake, particularly ir
the east. The western grain farmer
has a better excuse for large acreage
but the eastern farmer who knows hi
business will concentrate his efforts or
fewer acres and improve his methods

profit with the average farmer. 1t is
not slavery to watch over them care
fully; it is simply good business If
any of the cows begin giving milk this
month, keep them in easy. comfortable
stalls. Go out every night before you
go to bed and see that they are all
right. A little foresight here may
save you a good COW.
| wonder when we will have our
public school system SO arranged that
our youngsters can learn the things
they ought to know about the farm in
our home schools? II our boys are to
go to the agricultural college they
ought to be fitted for the preliminary
work right here at home in the county
schools. The boys lose time in the
country schools when they are learning
nothing that will be of use to them
when they start in work at the col
lege. Seems to me our country schools
ought to be preparatory for the agri-
cultural colleges and we ought to make
it our business to start things the right
way,

Is accumulated hitch team to it, drive
out on the land to be covered and.
presto! in twenty minutes the thing
is done. The manure is spread evenly

showing where manure was dumped
IN forkfuls from wagon, while the
rest of the grass is short A big fork
ful OF manure in one spot is too much.
The soil cannot absorb it all and much
OF It's value is thereby wasted. But If
the forkful was evenly distributed it
would cover surface five or ten times
as large and thus produce good grass
or other crops on all the soil.
The letter from an Illinois sub
scriber shows that in spite of all that
is written and spoken on the subject
OF the proper use of manure there
are many, too many, farmers who
have not yet learned how. We some-
times feel that we give too much space
to the subject, but in view of such
letters as we have quoted we are con-
WINGED that it must continue to be
harped on as long as one unconverted
unenlightened sinner remains

FENCE RAIL PHILOSOPHY

me dairy farmers have it in their
power to get fair prices for their milk
put that power lies only in organiza-
ton.
Farmers are in competition with the
railroads and factories in the matter
OF labor and there is no lodging the
issue.
EVERY other man in business except
the farmer puts price on his own
products. The farmer takes what Is
offered.
Ii you cannot say anything good
about your neighbours farming. better
keep STILL Better for you and better
for him.
The farmer never gets out of worl,
but he might get out of more than
ne does If he would use his head in
stead of his hands
Don't think you are SO smart that
you cannot learn something from every
man you meet. Just get into a habit
of talking with everybody that comes
along. Be ready to learn and vol, will
find that there is nobody that does
not know some things YOU never
thought of. We do not all have the
same experiences, and your neighbours
experience may save you a lot of
trouble II you sit down and listen
to it.
Which way is your farm going, up
or down? 1t surely is not standing
still Dig in hard to make it little
bit better than it was last year. Clear
up the waste places, drain the swamps
and cut off the brush. The tax-gath-
erer places his estimate on the least
valuable land compared to that which
is producing most. The only way to
get even with him is to bring your
whole farm up to the highest possible
state of fertility.-A. Railbird.

COLD WEATHER SUGGESTIONS

Horse blankets pay big for the in
vestment.
Keep the sheep out of the snow and
keep them dry.
Buy a farm account book and start
the new year right
Make the wheat for the hens hot
these frosty mornings.
The wood lot ought to be as clean as
a whistle by this time.
Look over the apple and vegetable
bins and fire out the rotten ones.
A trip around the fence with a
hatchet and a pocketful of nails is due
now.
Stop the drafts in the hog house.
Don't wait for the snow to fill the
cracks.
Do not allow the horses to stand in
the stall all day without exercise. Let
them run.
Make a shed for the manure heap.
Spring rains will wash away your
money fast.
AS long as the ground will permit,
however, get the manure out on the
fields every week
Hens will eat snow and that pre-
vents good laying. Keep them indoors
in snowy weather.
How do the boys and girls spend the
long winter evenings? Do you help
to keep them interested and happy?
If you will milk with wet hands
these cold days you will soon have
chapped hands and the COW chapped
teats.
The mice and rabbits will be busy
gnaWing the trees about now. Wrap
the trees in heavy paper or paint them
with heavy whitewash and a small
amount of tar.

WHAT ABOUT AYRsHIREs?

To the Editor: Please tell me where

N lThe Ayrshire cattle originated and
now predominant in district in Scot
land by that name. They have been
pred IN a cold and rigorous climate, are
saardy in constitution and are capable

sof travelling long distances for their

formed. They are commonly red,
marked with white spots, and some
simes dun or dark chestnut is appar-

lures they are about the best cattle
that can be found. The quality Of
