FUTURE OF MADISON AVE.
Many Business Concerns Ex-
peCted to Locate There.
BY Lawrence Il. Gilman.

Mad son avenue. especially between f2d
and 5ath streets is bound to increase con-
sldera bly, in value for business purposes on
account of its proximity 10 Fifth avenue
and to the fact that q great many smaller
business concerns who cannot afford the
Fifth avenue rents are sure to so to Madi-
son avenue In the near future.
Up 10 about 1889 Fifth avenue was
given over almost exclusively 10 residence
property north Of 23d street. In that
year We find the following sales were
made in this neighborhood
Northwest corner Of 44th street and
Fifth avenue, now occupied by the Fifth
Avenue Bank. and consisting of plot COX
rs feet. with an H. was transferred by
the executors Of the Cornell estate 10 the
Fifth Avenue Bank for a little over S23i,-
900.
A vacant lot, 25x1OO feet. on Fifth ave
nue.. 100 feet north Of 65th street, was
sold under foreclosure at $4,000.
Fifth avenue, No. 400. a FIVE story al
tered building. on lot 169xlOO feet, was
sold at $4,000.
Fifth avenue. No. 557. 10 feet inches
south Of 46th street, 25x10O feet. was sold
at sos, 900.
II Is incredible TO believe that only so
few years ago property on Fifth avenue
was sold so cheaply. These are actual
records from the transfers of that year.
In the same year. on Madison avenue,
25-foot lot, near 3ith street, sold for
$500
Another 25-foot lot at the northwest
corner Of 51st street and Madison avenue
sold for S5s,50O.
The prices Of to-day could not possibly
have been foreseen by the most enthusi-
astc optimist OF that time when # is con-
sidered that over $4,000 front foot has
been paid for Inside lots on Fifth avenue
and moro than $4,000 foot has been
paid for Madison avenue lots.

A hen needs nearly seven times

Selecting the hens according to

Any one keeping poultry must, OF
course, have houses to protect them

Fowls intended for market should
be cooped for a week or two and fed
all the rich food they will eat.
Fine gravel is not the proper grit

The incubator should be located in
a room where the temperature does
not vary much during the day or
night.
Eggs will become fertile In from
four to six days after mating. The
effect of mating will continue several
months.

Violet For Mourning.

It was not by accident that violet
was chosen by many nations as the ex

also for half mourning. Painters suf

"a subjective view due to conditions of
