How 10wa Conserves Its Greatest Resources

400 Consolidated school Districts in Iowa and New One Voted for Each School Day

STATE that prides itself in leading By ELMER E. JOHNSON

A all others in the production of corn Written for Micmg‘m Business Farmer

in danger of fergetting that these are not
its greatest resources. Iowa is a great
agricultural state. It has 208,000 farms,
the average income from which was $8,750
in 1919. But it takes farmers .to make
farms. Iowa’s future} is, bound up in ag-
riculture, and in the supply Of young peo-
ple who will take the burden and enjoy the
opportunity presented by the operation of

tage that is the common property of the .

boys and girls of the towns and cities. A
slogan that has been much used in Iowa

 

free to every young person of this state,
while he remains under the best of all pro-
tections, the home roof, and under the care,
guidance and inspiration of his safest,
truest and best of all friends, the members
of his own family.” '

The first consolidated school was estab-
lished in Iowa nearly twenty-five years
ago, but new schools of this type were or-
ganized at the rate'of but one a year for
the next seventeen years. Then in a six-

ycar period the average was one new con—
solidated school every week. Last year
there was one new one voted for every
school day. One—sixth of the territory of
the state is now under consolidation. Over
400 consolidated districts have been form-
ed. In the last two years consOlidatcd

these farms when the present generation
of farmers pass on. Iowa’s greatest re-
sources, viewed broadly and for the future,
are not measured by the quality and ex-
tent of its farm lands, but by the character
and ability of its farm boys and girls.

' For the young generation of this day has

frequently not well-equipped even for that

is preferring the latter. Not only is there

the serious question of separating from

of the most effective agencies for keeping

is the ome school. .If it is attractive it

Illinois Farmers Bottle and

ALTHOUGH the farmers around High-
' land; rMadison county, Illinois, have
always gone 'in for dairying extensively,
one year ago there was no producers’ as-
sociation in that section, all farmers work—
ing alone and selling their milk to a con-
‘densary. Today there is an up-to-date
milk» bottling plantin Highland owned by
_ a company formed by these same farmers
and the condensary has closed down.
addition to this plant the farmers have
distributing warehouses in St. Louis and
East St- Leuis and carry on a large dis-
tributing business in both of these' cities.

rural school buildings valued at $3,500,000
have been constructed and buildings to
cost $2,000,000 more are under way.

The Iowa law requires that not less than,
16 sections shall be joined for a consol-
idated district. The average district is
probably about 24 sections. One district
has been formed with 78 sections. State
aid is given for two-room schools in the
amount of $250 for equipment and $200
annually for maintainance; for three-rogm
schools $350 for equipment and $500 an-
nually; and for schools of four rooms or
more $500 for equipment and $750 an-
nually. There are no two-room schools
three room
school. The others are of four rooms or
more. Experience has shown an advan-
tage in the larger school in the larger dis-
trict with more taxable property.

Manual training, agriculture and home
economics are'required studies, and teach—
ers are trained to adapt them to the life of
the farm. Five acres or more of ground
must be included in the school plot, and it
is fully used for play grounds, baseball,
football, tennis, and for agricultural ex-
perimentation. In the open country con-
solidated school the district usually fur-
nishes a house for the superintendent, and
sometimes another one for the other teach-
ers. Transportation is by ‘ wagons or
motor busses, usually heated in'the Winter
time and driven by careful °men 0r reliable
older boys. As roads are improved the
motor bus gains in favor.

school superintendent of the right type to
become the community leader is another‘.

IG BUSINESS has squared off
for action and proposes to put
the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.,

the farmers cooperative grain mar-
keting organization, out of business,
according to reports’in the daily
press. June 29th, the Chicago Her-
ald-Examiner in \its commercial edi-
tion reported a meeting of grain
dealers and wholesalers in Cincin-
nati where a $250,000 “war chest”
was pledged to combat the activities
of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.

Representatives were present from
every important grain exchange in
the country and most of the wholew
‘sale grain dealers associations were
represented.

An executive committee of . five.
members was named 'with power to
handle funds and conduct propa-
ganda against the farmers. .The
committee was empowered to meet
the “emergency” created by the or-\
ganvization of the U. S. Grain Grow-
ers. Twenty important grainy, ex-
changes were represented at the
convention, .together with the fol-
lowing trade associations: County
Grain Dealers’ Association, Whole-
sale Coal Dealers" Association,
Wholesale Lumberman’s Association
Wholesale Implement Vehicle Asso-
ciation, Wholesale Grocers’ Associa-
tion, National Hay Association, Mill-
ers’ National Federation, National

Seed Men’s Association and the

merce. ’

 

RAEBOADS WILL NOT REDUCE
RATES ON FRUIT

HE ASSOCIATION of
5 Executives has declared that
L there will be no reduction in
rates on' fruit, vegetables and mel-
ons at this time, says the state farm
bureau trafi‘ic department, citing the
decision of the executives at their
recent meeting when the same com-
plaints and petitions for lower rates
as'have gone before the Interstate
Commerce Commission were laid be-
fore the railroad men. ,
The executives charged that

‘evidence' submitted did not
that rail charges had afiected
shipment of farm products and
that contrary to complaints, more
cars are being shipped now than
were being shipped at this time last
year. The complaints are now up
to the Interstate Commerce

mission.

SOILS DAY MEETING PROVES

; BIG SUCCESS
ORE THAN 1-00 farmers from
Cass, Berrien, Van Buren,
Kalamazoo and St. Joseph
counties gathered at'the Cass coun-

ty farm near C-assopolis. on Satur- .
day, June 25, to study the large soils .

demonstration plots which are be-

ing handled there by the Michigan W

Agricultural College. The plots,
which are the‘largest in the state,
proved to contain a great deal of
valuable data for southwest Michi-
gan growers, illustrating the results
from many dinerent soil treatments.

The meeting was called’ at 2 ’
o’clock- by County Agricultural
Agent Kunze, of Cass county. Mr.

Gleason, Cass County Supervisor, ex-
plained the nature of the soil on the
farm before any work had been done
on it.

The state soil program as it is be-
ing carried out by the college staff
was outlined by Dr. M. M. McCool,
head of the M. A. C. soils depart-
ment, who outlined the three lines
of the work of- his department.

Prof. G. M. Grantham, who has

the direct management of most of'

the soil fertility projects in the state
explained to the men gathered at
'the meeting the method of treat-
ment and management of difieren-t
sections of the field. After this the
visitors were divided into groups,
each under the guidance of a mem-
ber of the M. A. C. soils department,
and started their detailed inspec-
tion of the plots.' ‘

European agriculture, especially its
relationship to the future of farm-

“I do not mean that the .Ameri-

I .Fordney Tariff Bill Introduced in the HOUSE

New Tariff Schedule Imposes Duty on Important Farm Products Which

HE PERMANENT tariif bill, which the
" Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representatives has been working on
to perfect for several months, was introduced
in the house Wednesday, June 29, by the

chairman of the committee, Mr. Joseph \V..

V Fordney of Michigan. This is the first time
r this bill has been made public, and, avoiding

the usual custom, no explanatory statements.

accompanied the introduction and no ofiicial
estimate was made of the revenue it is expect-
_ ed to bringin. ~ . ‘ ~

Members of the Ways and Means Committee,
in an unofficial way, estimated the expected
returns as high as $700,000,000 a year. The
Payne-Aldrich in the average year before the
war added slightlyover $300,000,000 a year
to Uncle Sam’s bankroll. Many correspond-
ing rates in the new bill are higher than those
in the Payne-Aldrich ta‘riif law while others
are lOwer. It would be impossible to compare
the ’tWo bills in their entirety without the as-
sistance of a tariff expert‘ as in many in-
stances the bills are of entire diiferent con-
struction. r

i The section of the new bill dealing with
autos has been a hobby with congress hereto-
fore and a high tax has been levied but in the
new law the tax is the lowest it ever has been.

Farmers have received considerable consid-
eration in the framing of the new schedule.
Bean growers ‘of this state will be pleased to
learn that a duty equivalent to 75 cents has
been placed On a bushel of 60 pounds. Com-
paring this with other acts we find the Under.
wood bill did not impose any duty while the
Payne-Aldrich tariff colleCted only 45 cents
,per bushel. Wheat, rye. corn and oats have
been admitted free, but under the new schedule
a duty of25 cents is placed on a bushel of
wheat, 15 cents on a. bushel of corn and 10
cents on the same quantities of oats and rye.
The duty on hay is $4 per ton which' is just
twice as much as collected by the Underwood
act. -

Among the items which remain on the free
list that are of great importance to. the farm-
ers are: Agricultural implements,
twine, coal (from countries that do not im-

pose a tariff on American coal), barbed wire,‘

' tea, codee, turpentine and resin, borax, anti-
‘toxins, serums, typewriters and sewing ma-
chines. - - i .
Trade Agreements With Foreign Countries
' Administrative provisions of the bill au-
thorize the president to take steps to obtain
agreement with any foreign country at any
time that such action may be deemed of inter-
est to the United States. The president also
is authorized to suspend any provisions of the
bill in order to increase the duties to equal
the amount of bounti'es or. grants bestowed by
any’foreign government on exports by its
.- nationals to the United States. ‘ a
. r With respect to the making of reciprocal
n trade agreements, the bill limits such negatia.
 tions «to the next three years and the term of
ratification.“ _‘ I ' I r .

n HAT losses ‘of hogs in shipping, which
-. have amounted to as high as $1,500,000
ma Single year on three of the principal mar-

kets, can be greatly reducing by icing and -

properly bedding is shown by a record kept
by the "Western Weighing and Inspection
Bureau. This organization is maintained by
leading western railroads delivering at the
_ principal terminal livestock markets for the
purpose of investigating losses of live stock
in transit in- order to determine the cause of
death and crippling of animals, so that ways
may be deVised to decrease such losses.

It was found that in 1919 the total number
- of hogs found dead and crippled upon arrival
at the leading markets was 169,629. Of this
number 34,563 were delivered dead at Chi~
I cago, and 8,495 at South St. Paul. A large
percentage of these deaths was caused by ov-
erheating and a great portion of them could
have been prevented had the shippers taken
the precaution to place bags of ice in the cars
at the .time of shipping the hogs. It is re-
ported that on June 13th, 1920, 400 dead
hogs were deliVered at one of the markets in
one day from 220 cars. Four iced cars ar-
rived at that market on that same day and no
dead hogs were found in them. The report
shows further that but 17 hogs were found
dead during the months of July, August and
September in the 143 cars that had been iced.
This represents a loss of approximately one
hog to every nine cars. The records 'of one
of the leading live stock insurance companies
in the Chicago Union Stock Yards show that
the average loss during summer months is one
[hog for every three cars. It can thus be
réadily seen that if it were possible for all
shippers to obtain ice for their shipments,
there is no question but that many thousands
cf-hogs could be saved each month during the
summer, and where possible to obtain it ship-
pers should never hesitate to use' it when.
shipping hogs during the three months men
tioned. -

Best Method of Icing Stock Cars

The method of icing recommended is to
suspend six bags of ice in cars, two at each.
end and two in the middle. Each bag should
contain 50 to 75 pounds of‘ice. The ice Wlll
cool the air to some extent and the drip from

143 iced cars mentioned, the amounts of‘ iee
used varied from one to fifteen bags, weights
not given, which represents probablyweights
of from 75 to 700 pounds. , Most, of them,
ho'Wever, ranged from 5 to 10 bags, the num-
ber depending probably on the length of the
haul .-and the prevailing temperature.

Post mortem and other investigations made
by veterinarians of the Western Weighing
and Inspection Bureau disclose that nearly
80 per cent of the 169,629 deaths reported in
1919 were caused by acute disease of the
lungs, principally acutfe congestion and dis-
eases which result as a consequence. That
such diseases should be the ones logicallv to
expect is apparent to one who is acquainted
with the physical condition of market an-
imals. No one would expect to take a fat
horse from a stall where it had been standing
for any period-of time, with its muscles and
kidneys surrounded with fat and its heart
and lungs weakened and atrOphied, and sub
ject it to exercise of violent nature, without
producing serious results. Veterinarians
call this condition “grossness,” but if a horse
that has been standing in a stall for a com-
paratively short time ,is gross, a fat hog or
steer that has been fed and handled for“ the
entire purpose of laying on fat is 100 per
cent more gross than any stall—fed horse is
ever likely to be and when such animals are
required to take exercise necessary to trans-
portation, exhaustion and congestion are
quick and sure to result. a

in a pen soon after weaning and are. sup-, , ,
plied with all the [feed thatis necessary to .3 fl '
make fat hogs. The pens maybe eitherlarge
or small, but the hog supplied with all-the ne-f
cessities of life does not exercise to any great
extent. This lack of exercise causes the
lungs to develop only sufficiently to meet the
requirements of the condition under which
the animal lives. ' 

“The functions of the lungs are to 
the blood of the body, and in the hog, pers-
piration (sweating) being almO8t impossible, .
a large Part of the excess moisture and heat '
of the body is passed off through them.

words, their heart and lungs are deveIOped

Take Proper Care of Manure and DOuhle Its Fertilizing- Value

Stable Manure Should be Stored in Walled Yards or Pits'to Prevent Escape of Moisture

OR MORE than a century it has been the
F custom on farms in parts of eastern
Pennsylvania to store stable manure in walled
yards, partly or wholly covered, in which the
stabled animals are allowed to exercise dur-
ing the day. Manure thrown into such a
yard, and thoroughly tramped by the stock,
loses much less through heating and leaching
than does manure piled in the open.

It is we'll known that there is a great dif-
ference in the methods of ‘management of
barnyard manure on farms in the same local-
. ity, and that the best yields are found, usual-
ly, where it receives the best care, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Ten farms
in Chester County, Pa.,‘ provide exceptionally
good examples of efficiency. in this direction.
The average cropyields ‘for'- the State as .a

feature of the farm management under which
these high yields are obtained.

The typical barn of this part of Pennsyl-
vania is the “bank barn”-—also knewn as a
“Swiss barn” or as a “Pennsylvania over-
hang barn,” the standard type of barn ‘in
that region for more than a century. These
structures seldom are made of stone, but are
of frame or stone foundations which sum: as
the retaining walls for the basement or cel-
lar. " '

The stables are almost always in ‘the base-

ment, the story above being used for grain,‘
hay or other feed. As a rule the stables open

.open intolariraréa called the “.overhang’.’ or
“.overshot,” 10 or 15 feet. wide along the
'whOIe' from; of the barn where the basement
floor comes out even with the surface ofj‘the

ground. ’The barnyard or manure yard isa

TWO AND one-half years after the white

flag of truce fluttered in Flanders fields
the United States of’Amcrica has declared
the war with Germany and Austria to be at
an end. ,

Fitting indeed, though tardy, that this dec-
laration of peace should be made on /July
fourth, America’s holiday of holidays on
which we commemorate the signing of the
declaration which made this great country
free from the tyranny of an European mon-
archy. ' ' ,

Would to God that this were on declara-
tion before the world that this would be our
last war! , .

And are we too optimistic when we paint
the picture of a universal disarmament which
would be the prologue for 'a world at peace?
Now that we are at peace with all the nations
of the world, may we not point out that the
young manhood which responds t6 the beat-
ing of the drums, the eloquence of its poli-
ticians and the waving of flags, the mothers
and fathers who watch with tear stained eye,
the haggard wives with little children tug-
ging at their skirts; all respond to the same

The New Tariff Bill
_ T IS A little early; to comment on the new
tariff bill which our own congressman FordT
ney, as Chairman of the Ways and Means
committee has laid before the members of the
lower house for perusal and discussion.‘
One thing is, however, as certain as the.
coming of day following night, and that is

that the bill as submitted will be far unlike

what it is today when it finally emerges from
the verbal battle ready fer the president’s
signature. , .

The bean growers of Michigan are asked to

be satisfied with a tarifl of one and one-quar-
ter cents per pound or seventy-five cents per
bushel, and we will comment on this V in an-
other column on this page.
. A lively interest was immediately apparent
in the proposal to add a tariff of twenty-five
cents per barrel on fuel oil and thirtyofive
cents per barrel on crude oil. The Fordney
sponsors claim that this will result in bringing
the price of gasoline to the consumer in the
United States down to about fifteen cents per
gallon.
manufactured product has been kept up in
this country by the lack of profitable market
for the by-products, the market for which has
been flooded by Mexican and foreign crude
oils. Under the present proposal gasoline or
manufactured oil will still be on the free list.
The saving on gasoline, would if the price to-
boggancd to that predicted amount to some-
thing like $51,000,000 per annum.

A complete resume of all the proposed tar-
iif changes in comparison with the present
Underwood tariff, which will be of interest to
our readers will be found on page three of
this issue. We bespcak for it a careful read-

. ing and any comments which you have to

make on it will be welcomed in this publi-
cation. '

Curtailing Production

ECRETARY OF Agriculture Wallace sent
a broadside into the heart of one of Mich-
igan’s leading industrial cities when he ad-
dressed a letter to Mr. W. E. Holler of the
Flint Board of Commerce, which must have
made some of its members sit up and

(thouer7,. a
The secretary did not mince words when he
advised the members of this city organization
to “kill oi? the fallacy that it is immoral for
farmers to adjust their production to the
probable demand by curtailing a, particular
crop in the face of a present or prospective
over supply and ruinously 10w prices-a
thing manufacturers have been doing from

the beginning of time.”

. It appears to us more and more that the
farming business in America is particularly
fortunate in having a man who knows what
is the matter with it, is not afraid to” tell
folks about it and is ready to fight, if neces-
sary -to establish the farmers right to place
his‘ own industry on a safe and sane business

basis, as Secretary of Agriculture. ,.
. There is no danger in the farmers curtail-

\ ing production when he sees clearly that to

bolster it up will only mean an .lmpréfitable
crop“. Has it not been the century old ex_
perience that the “bumper crop” year in any
one product is followed-by the “short crop 1’
year? .

The bankers and other bond buyers did not “
take kindly to the issue asfirst presented and
it was a foregone conclusion that they would
not be acceptable, so the special session was
absolutely necessary, , if the soldier boys of
Michigan were'to get their bonus money this
summer. ' > ’  ‘

It is to be hoped that «the present changes
will be satisfactory and that the state 
cure the money at once, because if it were
ever justified and apparently it was because
the people of Michigan so voted it, then there '_
never was a time when the service men as a .

today. ‘

Fordney Bean Tar‘iff Too Low

HE BEAN growers of America are ask-
ed to be contented" with a tarilf of one
and one-quarter cents per ~pourgl or seventy-
five cents per bushel to protect them from the
deluge of Oriental beans which have flooded
the market during recent years. This is like
trying to stem the tide with a broom. v
It has been demonstrated by careful "esti-
'mato'rs that a tariff of not less than four cents
per pound is necessary if the bean growers of
this country are to make even a fair profit on
their product in competition with the pig-tail’
varieties. Chairman Fordney cOmes from the
bean growing heart of this country. We do
not ask him to be selfish for his own benefit,
but for the protection of his constituents he
should take immediate action to revise this
schedule on beans. - ' I
In raising a high protective/ wall to protect
the bean growers ofjhis country we are really
doing a humanitarian act which will benefit
.the millions of starving Chinese and other
Oriental races across ' the Pacific. Should
America be asked to send millions of her mon- _

. cy~ andships loaded with wheat, earn and

beans to China, that the wealthy Japanese
and their American connections (of which, we
are ashamed to say, there are several in Mich-
igan) can profiteer at the expense of the Amcr- ,
ican bean grower? .
We suggest to every bean grower in Michi-
gan and every local association of bean groW-
ers that you write a letter to your congress-
man asking him to see to it that we get a four
cent tariff on beans or none at all. ‘

In answer to your question as to why
the Governor (and you must blame the
legislators, too) raised the speed limit
to 35 miles per hour on state roads at
the last session, the only possible ex—
cuse we can offer is that nobody seem-
ed to pay any attention to the only 25-
mile—per-hour law, except an overzeal-
ous constable here and there who de-
lighted in arresting picnic parties or
families out in theirlizzies for an air-
ing, who happened to be going 26 to 30
miles, for the feeshe got out of it.
The 40 and 50 mile speed demons were
too fast for him! Now. it is hoped, so
the promotors say, with a sane speed
limit to force drivers to keep within it
or suffer the consoquencos. It must be

‘remembered, too, that this same law
places all the responsibility for the ac—
cident on the driver, so he drives the
limit at his own risk. The law goes in—
to effect the last week in July, we be-
lieve, let our readers keep it in mind
and report on its effect in their neigh-
borhood—G. M. S.

ARE WE INTERESTED?

FEEL that we need your paper to
I guide us along in our farm life,

as it is a great time in the hist-
ory of the nation. We expect to re-
‘tire soon from so much Work and
worry, but will still be interested in
everything pertaining to farming.

We have a very good farm of 132
acres, also a herd of about 30 reg
istered Holstein-Friesian cattle. We
have one son 18 years of age, who
seems rivited to the farm. ‘ Although
well educated, he would not forsake
the good old farm for a business ca-
reer. He enjoys our tractor. Par-
don me, but I thought you might be

every last one, of them, ought to write us

. COnsequ’ently any field of en'-
 vq‘r‘which they enter is bound to
 «give an impetus. It is the effect
«offing: impetus which many men and,
some women (the more fearful
kind) haVe been needlessly afraid
for. “Needlessly because a woman is
as good a patriot .as a man and is as
'zk'eenly interested in all that affects
the well being of humanity and the
.“Wel-fare of the state. All over the
’2 Country the League of Women ‘Vot-
ore is organizing schools of citizen-
'tship where colleges and,universities
couldnot be interested. With the
growing demand however most of
.these schools have responded until
-in‘ eyery state one or more has add-
ed a course in citizenship to its reg-
ular curriculum or as an extension
course.

The mission of the L. W. V. is to
arouse the individual voter to think
for herself, to awaken her interest
in national affairs and to awaken her
conscience not to intimidate it. Wo—
,men, alert, interested, patriotic and

Repudiates Misrepresentations
iSenator Kenyon gave notite
that ’he would bring the Sheppard-

Towner bill for the protection of ma-

ternity and infancy before the Unit-

'ed States Senate in the week of

-June 27th. The little group which
has been opposing the measure .is
carrying on a concerted campaign of
misrepresentation and downright
untruth in its endeavors to turn the
popular opinion against it. The
measure has the endorsement of
, thirteen national women’s organiza-
~ tions, and also of the National Cath-
olic Welfare Council, and of the Pres—
ident, who called' attention to it
specifically in his message to Cong-
ress. We go 'to press before any

outcome. _

UP IN THE HILL COUNTRY

NTIL A few days ago when I
-, Was fortunate enough to be in-
.. vited out to the farm of Mr. W.
 T. Hosner of Romeo, I little realiz-
* ed what a beautiful country lay just

a 'few miles to the northwest. It is
a second Bloomfield Hills and some
day some real estate agent will wake
up to the possibilities of this lovely
bit of nature and then we will see
both homes and prices starting sky-
ward. There are good gravel roads
and an hour and a quarter in a
good car should take one into the
big town of, Michigan now holding
fourth place among the populous
cities of our country. As Detroit
>grows and expands, every one who
can will get just as far away from
it as he is able and still keep up the
family income. Standing in the

dooryard of this farm of Mr. Hosn—
, er’s one may look over many miles
of beautiful country, down on the

tops of tall pines and over many“ a

wavering field of grain and On and

up to Trombley mountain, the high-

est point in the southern peninsula

from whose height may be seen our
own home town, many surrounding
villages, Detroit itself and the ,St.
Clair river with its shipping. ‘ "

and cover bottom of baking dish.

Break in an egg for each person and
cover the eggs with the remaining
crumbs and ham mixture. Place baker

in a pan containing hot .water and set
in oven until eggs are firm.

. Baked Eggs

Cover bottom of' baking dish with
sweet thick cream about 1-2 inch deep
and break in whole eggs, season and
bake gently until firm. Individual bak-
ers called ramekins are very nice for
these recipes. .

To serve with them. Take slices of
bread which may have become stale.
Butter them and cover with thin slices
of cheese, set them in the oven to brown
or place in your broiler if you have one.
Odd slices of bread may be economically
used this way and the toast is very
tasty.

Escalloped Eggs
Make a cream sauce, for which. recipe
has been given. Cut hard boiled eggs in

usug_ .

~different investigators are:

small pieces and fill baker with layers
of sauce and eggs, season and cover the
top with soft bread crumbs dotted with
bits of butter; place in over until hot._

 

These are nutritious dishes for hot
weather and are not too hearty.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have been reading
the M. B. F. for a long while and I
read a letter from one of our neighbor
girls. I thought I would write and tell
about our new barn my father is build-
ing this summer. It is 36 by 64 feet;
an 8 foot wall with a bank at the west
side. The raising was Thursday, May 19
and there were about 125'men and a lot
of women, girls and children, and also
plenty of babies: about 200 altogether.
My mother and I did all of the baking
alone the day before. I baked the cakes
and mother made cookies, doughnuts
and pies, beside the other cooking. I
have a pet lamb which follows me all
around if I let it out. We live four and
a half miles from town and I often take
the car and go to town. My father lets
me drive if he is along. I have one
sister. 1 am 5 feet, 7 inches tall and
weigh about 160 pounds. I am 18 years
old with brown hair and blue eyes and
dark complexioned, really tanned. I

My Adventure - - .' “I i‘

One windy day in March I set forth
I had lots of
work to do at home but I did not want
to work. Mother said “My son I want
you to be a very good boy and help me
today. I want you to get some wood,
wash the dishes, sweep the kitchen
floor, fill the reservoir, get a. pail of-
water, then I want you to take care” of
Alice while I go shopping." Now I hate
to tend babies worse than arithmetic
and there was all the other work to do
besides. So I put on my coat arid hat

slip-
ped out the back gate and down the al-
ley. It was a dull day and the wind
blew_fiercely and the clouds looked like
rain. _I set; out on a run and just as I
turned a corner I ran against a very fat
lady carrying a. very fat poodle. The
street was slippery and down she went
and frightened the dog so badly that he
ran home without waiting to see if his
mistress was hurt or not. A man came
along and helped her to her feet. she
shook her umbrella at me but I was
gone before she had time to say any-
thing to “me. I crossed the street and
just escaped being run over by an auto-
mobile I was going so fast that I did
not see anything in front of me but I
realized something when I fell over a.
baby cart and went sprawling on the
hard pavement, knocking the skin of!
my forehead and. bruising- my knee. I
got upon my feet and ran down the
street but was careful to turn out for
everyone I met. I ran through another
alley and found some of my friends. We
decided to go fishing and thought it
would be nearer to the creek if we went
across Farmer Brown’s field. We had ‘
just got over the fence when the old
ram chased us up a tree and we could
not come down until the sheep went
away and it was getting colder. After ‘
a while he went away and we got down
and went to the creek. I sat on a log
over the water telling my adventure
when one of the boys said, "Look out
Pete!” I turned around quick and lost
my balance and fell into the water. I
climbed out and ran home. Mother had
the work all done and had taken Alice
with her. There was a good fire in the
kitchen. It was about four o'clock in
the afternoon and I was cold, tired and
hungry. I took a bath and found some
clean clothes and promised myself that
I never would ‘be guilty of such a thing
again.

POINTERS ON SHIPPING HOGS
DURING HOT WEATHER
(Continued from page 4)
to the loading point, which may be
made in the most careful manner,
but it is impossible to subject this
hog to such a trip without causing it
to take more exercise than it has
taken at any one time since it was
a small pig. This exertion causes
the heart to increase in action and
the blood vessels of the lungs en-
large and become overcrowded with
blood. The hog pants and becomes
short of breath, and if it not placed
immediately in a cool, quiet place
where it~-can return to normal, it
will die of acute congestion of the
lungs or other ‘acute lung disease.

“Much can be done by the ship-
per to prevent the loss of these del-
icate fat hogs in hot weather. They
should be rounded up quietly at

home, hauled to loading point and
quietly driven to a sand bed-
ded car, which has been previ-

short a time as possible before the
train starts. They should not re—
ceive a full feed» the day of shipment
nor should they be fed in the car.
Great care should be taken to see
that the are not overcrowded and
wherever and whenever possible,
place ice in the car.” Never load
in filthy cars. 01d straw and manure
gives off considerable heat from de—
composition in hot weather.———Coop-
erative Herald. '

IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN
CLOVER, SEED CONTINUES _
E BOTTOM of the southern
L grown clover seed barrel in
. both France and 'Italy is now
being scraped out for the benefit of
American farmers, says the state,
farm bureau in announcing that im-
ports of southern grown ~foreign
clover seed are continuing and that
the dregs of that class of seed are
now coming into America. Millions
of pounds of unadapted clover seed
has already entered the country, ac-
cording to the farm bureau. Some
of‘it has gotten into Michigan coun-
ties in the past as county agents this

year reported winter killed fields of -

southern grown clover.

Very little northern grown French
and Italian clover seed gets into
America because of the .premium
that English farmers pay for that
stock, says the farm bureau. Farm
bureaus throughout the country ro-
alize the menace offered to their
farmers in unadapted seed and are
warning their members what is go-
ing on. Michigan is successfully
pushing a campaign to have all field
seeds go to market with their origin
made known and their adeptability
- guaranteed. 7

 

PAINT AS A REWARD

The Erie Railroad has many ung-
ique ways of rewarding its employ-
ees for faithful and efficient service.
When a locomotive engineer has
made a good record for running his
train on schedule time, he is per-
mitted to have his name placed on
his engine instead of a number. Star
tion agents are given special recog-
nition for maintaining clean and at-
tractive stations. But the most un-
ique reward is the one which is giv-
en to the “section gang” for ee-
pecially efficient service. The “sec-
tion gang” that makes the best ree-
ord for a given period 0.1 time-is ro-
wa‘rded by having its "section
house” painted. ‘ This. is the highest
reward they can attain. It is e
source“ of great pride.

Every farmer in the United Stats
should take this to heart—what an
easy way to reward one’s family and
make them proud of the place they
live in! And, at the same time, what
good business it is to prevent rot
and repairs, . '

THE NATIONAL CHICK CO.

On March 8, 1921, I bought a. money
order, No. 5,0963, at the Jackson, Mich,
postofi‘ice for $29.50 which I sent to the
National Chick Co, New York Life
Buxldmg. Kansas City, Mo, as payment
in full for 200 baby chicks (barred
rocks) which I asked them to ship to
me the 6th day of April. On March 16
they sent me a card which read as fol-
lows: “Kansas City, Mo, Your order re-
ceived and has been booked for ship-
ment April 30. Owing to large number
of orders we are receiving this is the
very best shipping date we can give you.
If thisis not satisfactory, You will
kindly let us hear from you and wewiil
stun: 730:1}? :ancey at once, Yours very

Life Bldg." ' 1 W York

I decided to accept the shipping date
they had given me but the chickens did
not come. April 30 came on Saturday.
and I thought perhaps they were wait-
ing for the first of the Week to ship

“I understand that he really had
bad luck with his first hatch which
threw him into a bad position and‘
that his capacities have not been
large enough to overcome this and
fill his orders. However, both the
federal postal authorities and 'the
Kansas City police department have
him under surveillance, and has
been pressing him closely with com-
plaints. His past record is such
that we are using every means we
can to see that he makes good his
obligations.” >

In talking over the various good

several ,points which should be

brought to the notice of all users of

dynamite. At these ' demonstrations
we always ‘hear of any accident that
may have, happened in the commun-
ity. There are always arguments
for and against various, prfictices.

Among people generally, there
seems to be an idea that the slight-
est shock or jar, such as dropping a
stick of dynamite on the ground,
Will cause it to explode. This is not
true. In fact it is practically impos-
sible to explode ordinary twenty or

forty per cent ammonia- dynamite

carload in a railroad wreck in

carpet. Always-remember that the
rules in the box are based on a
thorough investigation. of all acci-
dents, and it pays to observe “safety
first.” I know a man who brought
several boxes of dynamite, placed
them in the kitchen by the stove
with the caps. He went to put his
horses in the barn._ Before he got
back, his house, his wife and seven
children Were gone. “Dynamite re-
sents the implication/that it is “fool

As to caps: The greatest num-

barn where children get hold , of
them. I have known of many acci-
dents from this can/so. ‘ Your hurry
may cause your child the loss of an
eye or a hand. Put the caps-where
the children cannot get them. The

ly dangerous. Use a crimper! It
does not cost’much and is absolute-
ly safe. ~

Do not ever carry'the caps in your
pocket. I know a man who put a
box in his overalls’ packet. He for-
got them and shoved his hot pipe
down on top of the box. He stayed
in the hospital nearly avyear. Al-
ways carry them in a box or basket
in which there is some soft material.

Finally, in taking your explosives
out to the field, it is best to carry
the caps and dynamite in separate
boxes. Use a dynamite case or sim-
ilar box fitted with a handle. On the
outside of it nail a thick strip slot-ted
to hold your knife and crimpers}
Carry the caps in a separate box with
a tight lid. Then don’t smoke while
blasting.

It you observe the above precau-
tions you will avoid the only acci-
dents of which I have heard in four
years of daily contact with dynamite
on the farm.——G. G. M.

 

proves Milk Quality

which are to be taken into consid-
eration are sediment, acidity
temperature of the milk when do-
livered. In order to encourage and
aid in the cooling ‘of milk on the
farm Mr. Warner is encouraging
his patrons to purchase milk cool-
ers and a large number are now be-
ing placed in the territory. In Cal-
ifornia nearly every creamery or re-
ceiving station supplies the farmers
with ice which enables them to keep
their milk at the proper cooling
point. In California a great deal of
tress is also laid upon the sediment
in ’milk, and Mr. Warner believes

that, a much purer milk can be ob-

tained in the Frarmington area if
the farmers will be a little more
careful to protect 'the milk from the
dust-laden air. In testing the milk
50 points are awarded on butterfat
content, 15 points on visible sedi-
ment, 15 points on acidity and 20
points on temperature.

It is Mr. Warner’s belief that in
this era of. low prices farmers must '
pay more attention to the quality of
market. A certain large percentage,
high quality and are willing to pay
a little more it assured of the qual-
ity. 'Mr. Warner feels that ii! his

  AND MARKET REVIEW

 

of the country is suffering from

an attack of  dull-
.ness; while the above condition is
more marked this year than usual
because of the “buyers strike”
which is still in full swing in con-
nection with some lines: similar
conditions have prevailed on' July 1
01 other years. A wave of economy
is sweeping over the land, the like
of which has never been known in
the history of this country; it. is a
notable fact, that the reckless ex-
travagance, which followed in the
months, just after the siguing' of the
armistice, is now being amply ofiset
by a penny-pinching program that

 GENERAL wholesale trade

results in holding dewn the volume.

of business and makes it necessary
for “manufacturers to shut down
wholly or in part, until the surplus
in production has been reduced.
Certain retail lines, of catchy. sear
sonable goods, are selling well but
dealers in general are holding down
their commitments, for fall delivery,
to the smallest possible amounts
apparently because they believe that
further price, recessions wfill be
made as winter approaches.

A marked improvements is noted
in connection with the manufacture
of the higher priced a’ummobiles,
since the recent announcement of a
cut in the selling price was made;
the motor industry has no fault to
find with the current demand for
pleasure cars, a fact, that means
much to the district immediately
surrounding Detroit; The demand
for textile lines is hardly so active
as on this date last month and, with
the single exception of the demand

‘ from automobile manufacturers, the,
' steel and iron industry is almost at
" a standstill.

I Cotton is advancing in
price as a result of a decrease in
acreage and the certainty of a. par-
tial crop failure. Wool is dull and
quiet but values are firmly held and
a. sharp advance is looked for as
cool weather of early fall comes on.

Probably, the most important an-
nouncement of the past week from
the standpoint of international busi-
ness intercourse, was the end of the
English coal miners‘ strike. Now"
that the last of the foreign business
buisabms is disposed of we may con-
fidently look for a marked expan-
sion in the volume of our trade with
foreign countries. The Council of
the League of Nations, having
charge of the German reparations
payment, has modified its demands
and will permit. the debtor nation to

~ pay partly in gold marks and partly

in manufactured goods; the convic-
tion, that the recent. German de-
mand for American dollars, was
largely responsible for the decline

‘ in foreign exchange, was the con-

sideration that. led the allies to mod-
ify their demands. The founding'of
an international banking system is-
being discussed by some of the
world’s leading financiers; the in-
.fercnce is that. such a system would
eventually result in- stabilizing for-
eign exchange values.

The stock market has showed
much more strength of (ate than it“
did earlier in the month, the excep-
tions to the rule being oils, tractions

, and some of the weaker motor is-

sues. Railroad stocks are compar-

Ha‘tively firm and the general opinion

in stock exchange circles, fa‘vors the
belief that no more big short selling
campaigns “ill be staged for a
while. Call money is available at
5 to 51-2 per cent. .. The week’s
bunk clearings were. $5,549,592.89.

as markets closed Friday night of

_,last week not to open until Tues—

day of the current week. The great-
er per cent of the traders too-k trips
through the country to study at first
hand the condition of the crops. What
changes there will be at the open-
ing of this week we go to press too
early to learn.

The market closed last 'week with
wheat in a strong position and many
well known dealers were predicting
$2 for 1921 wheat; a few thought
the grain might go as high as $3
before another crop is planted and
harvested.

Growing prospects for both wint-
er and spring wheat were reduced
before the crop could be harvested.
It is doubtful whether wheat will

heat and dry weather is
down the spring Wheat promise every
day. .

In addition to the reduction in
American prospects, England,
France and ,Russia have had their
crops reduced also by heat and dry
weather. Central European promis-
es are better than last year that im-
port requirements will be as large
as last year. The supply in north

America alone is conservative-1y
100,000,000 bushels.
Highest prices for wheat ‘ will

. probably be experienced during the

tail-end of the crop year. Farmers
were misled in-to holding
wheat last season. They are mitter
In their denunciation of their ad-
visers and this season they propose
to market earaly, partly through ne-
cessity to pay off some of their fin—
ancial obligations, and partly thru
the belief that prices will follow the
program of last year.

That the demand Is likely to ex-
ceed supplies is ur questionable. The
unsettled industrial situation has
led the domestic buyer to permit his
reserves to become exhausted and
it wil ltake much wheat to supply
the domestic requirements even
should foreign dem ind fall off.

The situation in oats is develop— ,

ing strength. In the consuming
sections of the east the hay crop has

been literally burned to the, ground, _

most sections reporting only, 50 per
cent yield because of excessive heat
and drout-h. This should mean big-
ger consumption of oats if not im-
mediately, then in the more distant
future. The warning then again
should be heralded to the producer
—do not be in a. hurry to sell your

storms are radical whenever any of
the other planets join them inclectro-
magnetic relations. About middle of
July Venus, Earth, Mars and Uranus
Will be in contact with Jupiter and
Saturn and I warn all to be on then‘
guard for great weather events. Tor-
nadoes are probable; a. tropical storm
the dread hurricane, is expected to
be moving northeastWard off the At-
lantic coast.“ Severe hail storms are
expected in the interior of the con—
tinent east‘ 0 the Rockies. The
transcontinenta storms are expected
to pass eastward from Alberta down
through America and out onto the
Atlantic from "July 14 to 18. Put all
your outdoor afiairs in condition for
the storms of those five rlays. ,
Thp heat wave, expected to ~cross
meridian ’90 near July 15, has been
selected as top of the July tempera-
tures; its partner. the cool wave, is

expected- to follow during. the five

LIVE STOCK MARKETS,

The trade in live stock, during the
past week, has shown the effect of
seasonal influences on prices mere
than any preceding sessions of; the
current market season. In the cat-
tle division, the spread, between the
better grades of com-fed animals

and common grassy stuff, has widen» ~

ed perceptibly, the latter making
,new low records for the season and
averaging lower than on my pre—
ceding date in thewlast ten years.
From the close of the week before,
the better grades of steers showed

a gain of 25 to 50 cents per cwt. and ’

for the some period, grades of cat-
tle selling in Chicago below $7 per
cwt. showed a. loss of about the
same amount- The top for mature
steers, in Chicago last week, was
$8.75 and for yearlings, $8.85. The
average quality of the Cattle offered
in all markets was lower than dur-
ing any preceding week, this season.
Chicago receivedsome of thé best
cattle that have come to hand this

year. 1
Chicago received 42,298 cattle,
last week, being. 12.000 bead 1933

than the week before and 20.000 be:
low the corresponding week. last
year. Reports from eastern dressed
beef markets showed much lower
prices and a falling off in demand
that threatened almost complete de-
moralizatiom of the trade. Western
markets quoted dressed beef from
$1 to $1.50 per cwt. lower than the
week before. Eastern order buyers
were very little in evidence and ex?
porters bought sparingly, selecting
their cattle from the best light and
medium grades. All grades of she
butcher stock were dull and’ lower
but bulls were a} trifle ,higher than
the week before. Canner cows
slumped ear in the week and

continued to drag on the bottom un: .

til the close; very ‘few canners sold

above $1.50 per cwt. in the Chicago. ’

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The Commercial Bulletin says:
“There Has been aa fair business
in wool during the week. Prices
are. generally firm, although bright
wools are possibly'a bit on the easy
side and scoured wools are less ac—
tive.~ In the West there has been
steady operating at flrm prices. Nat—
urally the chief topic of discussion
is the proposed tarifl,_although it is
deemed too early as yet to say what
its effect will be on the wool textile
industry. Some of the rates on man-
ufactured goods manifestly are low.
The domestic mill situation is fair-
ly healthy, with increased opera—
tions reported from 'some of the lar-

By ordering direcr
from this advertisement

you save all expense of cata-
logs, postage, letters and time. And we
give you the benefit of this saving if you
send the coupon below. Furthermore, isn’t
it better to have one of these big money-
making machines to use instead of a catalog

to read? Wouldn’t you like to compare the
New Butterfly with other Separators in your . ‘
neighborhood regardless of price? Wouldn’t you ,
like to see just how much more cream you would :. i
save if you owned a Separator? We believe you would,

so we send you a machine from our factory to try 30
days. Then if you decide you want to keep it the coupon
counts the same as a $2 payment. You take that much
right off from our factory price on any size Separator you
Select. For example—if you choose a $44 machine'you have
only $42 left to pay in 12 easy payments or only $3.50 a month.
If you select the $56 machine you will have only $54 left to
pay in 12 easy payments of only $4.50 a month—and so on

The Coupon Makes First Paymenh‘
And the Separator Itself Pays the Rest

You get the benefit of the great saving in time and work while the sepa-

If at the end of
30 days’ trial, you
are not pleased
just send the machine

back at Our expense
and we will pay the freight
charges both ways. You
don’t risk a single
penny.
