A MILLION DOLLAR WEEK
IN REAL ESTA TIE DEALS
Apartment House Investment Feature Durine
the Entire Year.

1t is estimated that property to the
value of more than 100000 has changed
hands during the past week in the several
real estate transactions that have been
reported.
This fact is worthy of particular note,
since it occurred in the first week in
February, which it is generally conceded
is a winter month. in this city, when
the realty market might not be expected
to display the activity which marks this
market during the open months OF the
year.
But this is indicative OF the changes
that have taken place in the methods of
doing business in real estate in Wash
ington the past few years. The invest
ment value of property is the chief fac
tor in keeping the real estate market
active in Washington all the year
around.
Apartment House Sales.
The great number of apartment houses
that have been erected in Washington
lately has done very much to improve
the investment qualities of property in
this city. The rentals from these is
enticingIy high to the prospective buyer
and the returns from his investment in
this class of property are satisfactory.
The good quality of building is also
responsible for the activity in the sale
of such buildings. It is beyond contra
diction to say that Washington apart
ment houses. as class, surpaSs in ex-
CellenCe Of workmanship and durability
of material the apartment houses of any
other city. This reduces the Upkeep OF
property, and this, with the rental, com
bines to make the buying and selling Of
apartment houses a trading feature at
all times Of the year
The apartment house is also an attrac-
tive investment foT persons outside OF
Washington. perhaps 10 a greater extent
than are single residences. There is more
of the commercial about an apartment

OF tenants which 1t accommodates. \

Growing of Summer Apples.

On nearly every farm summer apples
have had a place since very early days.
and varieties have been developed ex-
tending the season of apple production
over the entire summer as we'll as au-
tumn. The marked decline in the pro-
duction of peaches within the past few
years has brought about a considerable
extension of the early-apple industry on
commercial scale. which extension has
been most marked in the Middle Atlantic
States, where especially advantageous
transportation routes. both rail and wa
ter, and the proximity of large markets
have stimulated the enterprise, which
has its center in the truck producing re-
gion near Philadelphia.

Clean Barn for MIX Cow.

The stable in which the cow lives.
and particularly that in which the
milking is done, should be kept in as
clean a condition as possible The
habit of removing the COWS to a sep
arate room is one which is undoubt-
eddy very useful in reducing the
chance of bacterial contamination. 1t
is desirable that in the place where
all manure and barnyard refuse Is
placed should be removed as far as
may be from the milking stall, and
no stagnant water should be allowed
neal the barn. Manure is not only
a source OF bacteria, but it is a great
breeding place for flies. which are al
so a great nuisance; one fly falling

DAIRY NOTES..

Dairying hicks well with any other
branch of farming.
The clothing and the hands of the
mixer must be kept clean.
The growth of the dairy business
has been phenomenal in the last few
years.
Milk is most conveniently pasteur-
lied in the bottles In which II is de-
livered.
Considerable of the dirt that enters
the milk during milking time comes
from the cows.
II the cream separator runs hard.
flush out all of the bearings with
kerosene or coal oil.
Bacteria cause ropy milk and are
usually found in the milk utensils
and not in the cows udder.
Uncleanliness in the milk is a very
serious obstacle to the making OF
either good butter or good cheese.
Dairying takes a little more care
than is necessary In beef production

greater.

or factory.
Get a dairy sire OF proved merit,
and then keep him as long as you can.
This will make for uniformity in your

Care of Mixer and Utensils.

Especial care should be taken in re-
gard to the condition of those who do
the milking or have anything to do
with handling the milk. Special cloth
ing is advised to be worn during the
milking. That the worker should care
fully wash his hands before entering
upon the duty of milking Is taken as a
matter of course. The milk vessels
should be thoroughly scrubbed with
hot water containing soda. and should
then be scalded in boiling water. and
without rinsing in cold water. should
be turned upside down and allowed to
stand In the air until needed for use.
and in no Ease should they be wiped
with a rag after scalding.

FLOW OF IRRIGATION WATEf
quired to .rrigate Sixty Acres In
Oregon is Answered.

"Given four second feet of water for
three days, ~ hours, irrigates 60 acres
of land. How many inches of water
would 1t require per acre continuous
flow for Is days to furnish the four
second feet for the three days, giving
a period of IL days between irriga-
tons? Oregon has taken contro! OF
the waters of the state and In ad-
Indicating the water rights ii has
asked us, the original appropriations,
how much water We require. A cor
poration has contested our claims and
their expert claims that thre~eeighths
of an inch of water, continuous flow.
is the solution to the above problem
We are skeptical."
The above question Is answered by
r. H. King in the Rural New Yorker
in the following statement:
Four second feet of water for Y
hours. applied TO 50 acres OF land
would cover it to a depth OF 4.fb
inches. and Is equal to 1,036,sOO cubic
feet. We do o know the value OF a
legal inch of water for Oregon. Fol
California one inch of water is de-
tined as equal to one-fftieth OF a sec
ond foot. Court decision sets 1t at
one-for;ieth OF a second foot for Ari-
IONA. Colorado specifies 3S.4 miners
inches in one second Tot. II the inch
Is taken at one-fortieth OF a second
foot it would require four times 40.
or $50 inches. flowing continuously
three days, or y hours. TO equal four
second feet continuous flow for ~
hours. Three -eighths Of a miners
inch flowing continuously 10 days is
only 9.720 cubic feet, or .044 inch OF
rainfall on 60 acres, at the California
value. and but 12.150 cubic feet or
.O55 inch of rainfall on 60 acres at
the Arizona value. If applied to n
acre instead of TO so acres the depth
of water. expressed as rainfall, would
be 60 times the values Just given. or
2.67 inches, where the California inch
is the standard, and 3.34 inches if the
Arizona value of the inch Is taken.
In other words. three-eighths of a
| miners inch continuous flow for is
days is equivalent TO 2.67 inches to
3.34 inches of rainfall on M acre,
where the values of the inch are those
stated. If three-eighths of a miners
inch flowing continuously IS days
gives TO one acre the equivalent OF
2.67 to 3.34 inches Of rainfall, to ap-
ply the same amount to the acre in
three days, continuous flow. would re
quire FIVE times threeeighths inch OF
water. or one and ~seyen-eighths.
