Sales of real estate during the last
year in practically all parts of New
York, but especially in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, have been, perhaps, more
numerous, more widely distributed and
in greater amount than at any time in
the memory of the last generation,
The determining policy of the large
investment and operating companies
has been most intricate, because Of
new conditions in the real estate world.
The primary causes have been the in
creased expense of maintaining and
operating buildings and the increased
cost of new construction. These items
have mounted day by day until now the
cost undoubtedly is double that of the
lowest period and rs per cent higher
than the average established during
the last ten years.
The increased cost of construction,
added to increased rates of interest
and the higher costs of operation. has
made it necessary for tenants to pay
more rent, or for the owners of prop
erty to be satisfied with an absurdly
small net income or no income at ali.
This is the condition confronting real
estate owners after the lapse of a long
period Of years during which the ten
ants of dwelling property, especially.
grew accustomed to being domiciied
partly at the expense of the landlords.
Rents Not High Enough
With regard to tenements, flats and
apartments, the average cost of main
tenance and repairs has nearly doubled.
Meantime rents have not yet increased
IN an amount sufficient to allow return
on the investment commensurate with
It's value and for the proper amortiza-
tion of the mortgage loan or of the
cost of new buildings.
The demand for private dwellings,
OF which class of property the Realty
Associates had an ample supply, has
enabled US to liqudate our holdings
at substantial profits. However, as
q result of our experience during the
last ten years, we believe that our
operations hereafter should be more
concentrated, and that the large diver
slhed ownership which has been our
practice is not conducive to the best
net results.
An important phase of the situation
is the labor problem. Unless those
employed in the building trades, and
those WHO are engaged In the construc-
ton Of new housing for New York
City shall become more efficient, shall
make concessions in their wages and,

Dawn as 1t Is Welcomed by
Animals, Birds of the Air
and Posies of the Field

The dawn that dispels sleep, in
nature is only welcome. The cows
that have drowsed since evening twi-
light, crouched in ungainly comfort
on the ground. like half-produced
sphinxes to the night-wanderer' vague
vision, with now and then moments
munching of the cud in their dreams,
wake at the first gray tints, upheave
their clumsy bodies, and fall to brows-
ing daintily near the pasture bars.
The birds stir in the high boughs
and the bushes, call and twitter to
each other, preen their rufiled feathers
and shake slumber from their Joyous
thrOats in song
The fragrances of herb and flower,
the roses charm and the balsam of the
frs, exhale upon the dewy air. The
casts perpetual miracle, coursing the
globe forever from its source in the
mid-Pacific waters, Is at the verge of
revelation. The riddle of the nights
dream opens its mystery as the lighter
tints are absorbed into the splendid
heraldry of morn. Earth with rich
expectancy awaits the new revealment
always at hand, ever withdrawn,
going on with the dawn to new days.

Scientists Assert That
Brown-Eyed Men Are Far
in Lead as Bigamists

Eminent doctors, scientists and GRIM
inologists say that brown-eyed men
are dangerous. They have estimated
that more than rs per cent of the
worlds bigamists have brown eyes,
and in explanation say that 1t is due
to the fact that brown-eyed men gen.
orally have dash of Southern blood
in their veins. They are more pas
sionate, have stronger and deeper emo
tions and consequently are more fasci-
mating to women.
Eyebrows that droop and eyes that
are close together are found among
the worst rogues on the calendars, says
one detective. Those who have made
study of characteristics also tell US
that the snub-nosed man and the man
who yanks his mustache down and the
man with steel-blue eyes are selfish
and melancholy, and have no stead
fastness in their makeup. Out of "a
murderers, specially selected for the
brutality of their crimes, no fewer
than Is have steel-blue eyes.

Apes as Farm | Hands
Prof. Richard Lynch Gamer Plans
Nation Of GoriIas in U. S.

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner has an
nounced his intention of establishing
nation Of chimpanzees and gornlas
in the United States for the ultimate
purpose of uplifting the entire ape
race, says a New York correspondent.
Professor Garner has just returned
after two and one-half years in the
French Congo gathering specimens for
the Smithsonian institution.
The apes today, in their uncultured
state, are second only to the human
family in point Of intellect, the profess
sor said. He believes that apes. If
given the advantage of modern educa-
ton and environment, would develop
into race that would sow and reap
and toll in the mill. In refined young
lady apes the professor sees possible
solution of the servant problem.
"Sam, a boy ape that shared my
home IN Africa, learned to fetch things
I called for" he said. "He became as
particular as I about bed sheets being
smoothed out, and he couldn't go to
sleep without pillow. If a man could
train a dog to herd sheep, man can
make a farm hand out of an ape"

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Csioae-s and bIackhead, common
oisease OF which many kinds Of do.
nestle poultry die, but most commonly
chickens and turkeys, has no real
name In poultry annals, though on
making diagnosis Of the dead birds
often 1t Is called cuoiera, placknead
and few other names, when, after
all, 1t Is merely acute inflammation of
the intestines caused by feeding con-
sti2ating food. says one person.
1t Is true that fowls after eating
drastic poisons, will show up with the
same intestinal inflammation, but 1t
Is more commonly due to feeding a
too-heavily concentrated ration. 1t is
the mysterious disease that so often
kills hogs, calves and sheep. In the
first it is, as in poultry, too often at
tributed to cholera, and the owner
goes on feeding in the old way instead
Of giving the flock, or the herd, plenty
Of pure water at all hours to quickly
pass the concentrated food on to quick
elimination, helped on by regular
doses of EPSON salts.
This neglect Is more apparent with
poultry than other stock. Corn is one
of the feeds most sure to bring on
this condition, il fed In large quanti-
ties to any kind of stock. With poul-
try. as with other stock, and especially
in spring when frost lies on the new
grass the trouble at times will bring
about great loss.

BEST SOIL FOR STRAWBERRY
Good Drainage Is Important and
Abundant Humus Is Essential to
Profitable Yields.

Strawberry shortcake would soon
become thing of the past if all straw.
berry plants were set In poorly drained
soil. While strawberries can be grown
successfully on wide variety of soil
types, good drainage is necessary. and
abundant huAlus is essential to good
yields. Methods of growing and ham
ding strawberries In the South Attain
tic and Gulf Coast regions. where the
climate is mild and the plants grow
during nearly the entire year are DIFF
ferent in many respects from those In
other parts Of the country. These
regions ship over $500 carloads an
nuallN
Soil must be selected that is espe-
cially well drained. This Is particu-
larly important In the, South, where
much Of the land Is low and often
poorly drained. Leaf, root, and fruit
diseases are favored by poorly drained
sites. There Is no particular type Of
soil to which Strawberries are best
adapted. Fine sandy to heavy gumbo
soils are used. Preparation of the
land for planting should be thorough.
II sufficient hunus is not already pres
ent, heavy applications of manure
should be made, or, If this is not avail
able, some green-manure crop should
be grown on the land for season and
then turned under before setting the
plants.
Nematodes, also called gallworms
and eelworms, are serious menace to
southern strawberry growers. They
are most abundant where the soil
rarely or never freezes to consider
able depth. and are more injurious in
sandy than in heavy soils. Where
available, new land or that known to
be free from nematodes should be
used for Strawberries. Common crops
and plants known TO be immune or
very resistant to this parasite, such as
corn, sorghum, winter oats, rye, pearl
millet, velvet beans, peanuts, and a
few others should be planted in rota-
tion with Strawberries. Many grow
ers find it to their advantage in COM
batting nematodes to secure plants
from northern nurseries each year,
and set them in their plantations dur
ing the winter months about every
four feet apart in the rows.
The manner of handling these
plants, sometimes called mother
plants" is to set them In January,
February, or March. They will start
growing at once, and by June will de-
velop enough runner plants to cover
considerably increased area. By Au-
gust these runner plants are ready for
setting IN a more extended area, and
by October or November they in turn

Windmill Drives Dynamo

The windmill is new addition to
the forest rangers station on the

purpose is to drive the dynamo that

Casein of Milk Makes the
Best Enamel Covering for
Wings of the Airplanes

Scientists recently have discovered
that the casein of milk makes prob
ably the best enamel covering for air
plane wings. The paint from casein
dries quickly, IS us smooth as enamel.
and in few hours becomes impervi-
GUS to weather conditions.
Casein after being extracted from
skim-milk and dried has four principal
uses: 1. In the preparation of plas-
tic masses and galalith as substitute
for horn. ivory, celluloid. 2. As a
painting material. 3. AS a mucilage
and cement. 4. As a dressing and
color-fixing medium in textiles.
It is used in plastic masses for the
making of combs, collar buttons. imi-
'tation linoleum and leather, and bone
and electrical insulating material.
Galalith, meaning milk stone," is
made from casein into imitation mar

will have developed other runners
which should be enough to form
main fruiting plantation. The exact
time for making the original planting
and the several transplantings of the
runner plants varies in different To-
calities and with weather conditions.
Generally two planting systems are
used in the Sout.i-the hill system and
the matted-row system. Under the
hill system the plants are commonly
set in late summer or autumn, and
the crop is harvested In the winter or
the following spring. Usually plants
set at that time make no runners, but
If any do appear they are removed
When this system is used the plants
are set in single, double. or triple
rows.
Whatever method is used two things
are of special importance: Setting the
plants at the right depth and making
the soil very firm about the roots. The
plants should be set so that the
crowns will be even with the surface
of the ground after the soil has been
packed about the roots. II set too
deep the plant will smother, and If the
crown is exposed above the surface It
may dry out and die. Flower stems
usually appear soon on, the winter-set
or spring-set plants, but the produc-
tion Of fruit is a severe drain on the
plants vitality. and the blossoms
should be removed as they appear un-
III the plants are well established.
