CORN AND OATS TRADE 0171‘-
LOOK

00 GREAT a consideration is
given this season to the large
corn crop~estimate; too little to
the poor quality and to the small and
poor oats crop. In the big corn and
oats belt—the states of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, _Michigan, Wisconsin
Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Mis—
souri, Nebraska and Kansas—the
consumption and distribution of last
' season’s immense. crop was 1,944,—
343,000 bushels. This year’s crop
is officially estimated at 1,956,880,-
000 bushels ; there is a farm carry-p
over of 187,290,000 bushels and a
visible in these states as of Novem—
. ber 1st of 12,477,000 making a total
available of 2,156,647,000 bushels—
this total is 37,565,000 bushels
smaller than last season, hence it
bulks largely in the trade view. The
average quality of the new crop is
84.6 in this territory; last year it
Was 91 percent of normal. Assum-
ing the carryover and visible at last
year‘s average quality and applying
it to the consumption and distribu-
tion of this season, there remains 1,-
795,575,000 bushels, the quality be—
ing 6 per cent under last year. It
will take 1,948,141,000 bushels of
this season’s corn, with the carry-
over of 199,767,000, or a. total of
2,112,017,000 bushels, to render the
service of 1*,944,343,000 last year.
This would leave for carryover and
visible 44, 630, 000 bushels.

The September lst government re-
port on hogs gave the number in ‘
these twelve states as 32,102,000, an
inerease of 1.7 per cent—making an

- additional requirement of 35, 938, --
000 bushels of 84 6 quality corn
and reducing ‘the theoretical carry--
over to less than 9,000,000 bushels
—no allowance is made for the mm
which will be burned for‘ fuel in
many sections of the belt. ',

The cats crop in these same states
last year was 1,102,194,000 with a
carryover and visible of 46, 597,000
or a tetal of 1,148,791,000 bushels.
The quality was high at 95.4; the‘
consumption and distribution totaled
980,231,000 bushels. This season
the crop in these eleven states was
723,875,000, the quality the poorest
on record at 71.7. The carryover on

' farms and visible in" the same states
was 168,560,000. This being ac-
cepted at the high quality of . last-
se’ason, leaves 811,671,000 bushels
to be supplied—this is equal to 1.-
014,589,000 of a crop of 25 per cent
poorer than last season—a defici-
ency of 290,714,000 bushels in the
eleven states that supply the coun—
try’s surplus oats. As corn and oats
are interchangeable in feeding

Gd. Traverse Fruit Farmers

HE APPLE GROWERS of Old Mission
Peninsula held a meeting on November
15 which promises to clear up many of the dif-

ficult marketing problems’ that have hereto-

fore troubled them and. taken a heavy toll
out of their profits. The meeting was called
by the Grand Traverse County Farm Bureau
and included the members of the Peninsula
Local. The subject under discussion was

‘Marketing Apples.

The Hon. E O. Ladd, member of the
State Legislature for this county presided.
Mr. MiltOn LT.Gorc Was the first speakeer,

dealing «mainly‘in his talk with the proper

preparation of apples for market: He dis-
cusSed the grOw'ing, spraying, picking, and

all given due consideryion by Mr. Gore and
by the variOus speake s who engaged in the
open discussion which followed.

There ran through all the talks a single

thread of thought which led up to the second 1

subject on the program, viz: A Central Pack-
ing Plant for the Grand Traverse Region.
Mr. Wm. A. McCool, President of the Grand
Traverse Packing 00. gave the general outline

of what- his company has in contemplation" -
looking to the_handling of the apple crop for ‘-

next year. The Packing Co. built a canning
factory and, served the cherry growers of the
region very satisfactorily this season. In
view of 1thc success of the company with the
cherries and the general satisfaction of the
growers with the 10 cents per pound paid for

sour cherries last summer, the proposition of'
" the Packing Company to expand so as to take

‘care (ff the apple crop next year was hailed
with enthusiasm by the growers and the new

departure was endorsed by a unanimous vote "

of those present. About 4.0 pcr cent of the
stock of the Grand Traverse Packing Co. is
owned by the growers. The very excellent
showing of the company on the cherry crop
and the fact that the profits
were retained in local bands and are to be
used to expand the business. leads the fruit
grower to feel that at last 110 has started on
the proper course-to get full value for his crop
and to'use the profits of operation in a way

to build up the fruit interests of the region. "'1

Public Learning Difference Between Good and Poor Beef and Demand for Better Grades Increasing

O FEED or not to feed~

By H. H. MACK

Me., from C. F Baker of George
0. Shaw 00., Portland Me:

 

that is the question that
many a Michigan farmer is ask-
ing. The experience of the last
two years in feeding cattle hi1.)
surely been a trying one to many
men who thought they understood

the business fairly well- The
cause of the indecision and the
hesitancy about answering the

question asked at the beginnii'ig
of this article, is the fact that so
many of the feeding undertak-
ings of recent years have resulted
in a balance on the wrong side of
the ledger. The man with cour-
age and stamina will this year

 

 

“Last winter we bought of you a
carload of Aberdeen-Angus cattle.
Our trade was much pleased with
the quality of the cattle. We are
writing you to find out if you are
going to have any more of this grade
of beef for the market the coming
fall and winter. If you do h_,ave we
should be pleased to buy your entire
lot, and would be glad to pay you
from $1 to $3 per hundred more
than the market price on western
beef. The quality of the beef was
excellent and all who ate it were
much pleased With it.”

x A tribute to a breed of cattle

and to the feeder who made them
good, which the letter mentioned

 

 

surely decide to feed, make or

lose. For the most part, corn and
roughage are plentiful; market
prices for grain and forage are

low and freight rates are high.

The writer of this article fully realizes the,
hardships and (liseouragenient's that have fall-
en to the lot of the painstaking cattle feeder
during the past year; a, 't'reduent visitor to
live stock markets he has often seen cattle
discriminated against because, they were a
few pounds heavier than the trade was ask—
ing for. Hundreds of thrifty, thorough-g0-
ing feeders have been penalized rather than
rewarded for making prime, bulloeks. Con-
(litions like those described above are greatly
to be regretted. lt is the best work that is
deserving of and should reeeive the greatest;
reward. The fatter the cattle are the more
it costs to make them and for that reason
they should bring the highest market price
in order that the feeding experiment come
out right.

So far the picture we have been contem-
plating has had in it. very little of light and
cheer; were it a foregone conclusion that the
market, demand for prime steers would always
be as undependable as it has been for the
past two years’ the outlook would be very
discouraging indeed. "Many close students of
market conditions think they see a rift in the
cloud however. (leeasionally something comes
to light that tends to the eonvietion that, some
fine day, in the not distant future, the con—

seientious, painstaking cattle feeder will
com into his own. Slowly, it is true, but
surely, the beef eaters of the country are

learning the difference between cow beef and
steer beef. From time to time men of means

have by some lucky chance got their “teeth” .

into a juicy steer steak and they will never
be able to forget the pleasant sensation.

State Fair Steer Show

Last fall at the State Fair auction sale of

fat steers six carloads of fancy bullocks,
yearling and two-year-olds fell to the bidding
of Detroit packers; the net result was that ap-
proximately 60.000 pounds of high grade steer
beef was distributed among discriminating
Detroit beef eaters. The fat steer show at the
Michigan State ‘air is now a permanent i11-
stitution. Complete plans for commodious
quarters for the cattle haVe already been made
and the supposition is that Detroit the Dy-
namic will get a dose of high grade steer beef
every fall amounting to from 75,000 to 100,000
pounds. There is an old adage to the effect
that pounding away everlastingly in the same
place will, after a while, wear a hole through
that place.
time may sometime arrive when the bulk of
the steer beef produced in Michigan will be
consumed within the state. “Michigan-
grown cattle for lVlichigan-grOWn people”
should henceforth be the battle cry of the or-
ganizations having a membership among beef
cattle breeders and the good fight for better
beef should be carried through to a finish.

did animals mentioned its wonderful flavor
and expressed a desire to have more of the
same kind. The feeder of high grade cattle
who assumes that his product is not appreci-
ated is making a great mistake. This would,
indeed be an ungrateful world if all of the
study, all of the planning, all of the hard
work and all of the money spent by the
breeders and feeders of beef cattle in this
country had accomplished nothing that would

compel gratitude and appreciation on the
part of the meat—eating public. That the
work of the breeders and feeders of prime

cattle is commanding attention and appreci-
ation in these later days is evidenced in many
ways, as witness the following: _

A correspondent to a western live stock

above contained simply shows
which way the wind is blowing;
it proves that every strictly prime
bullock whether Angus Hereford
or Shorthorn which has been produced and
distributed to the public is an active element
in the great publicity campaign which has
for its main object the improvement of the
average quality of the beef consumed in this
country. ..
Paying Freight Both Ways

The custom so long in vogue in this state of
sending prime beef cattle out of the state and
shipping high-grade beef back at the expense
of a double freight rate is really too expen-
sive and wasteful to be any longer consider-
ed. There is a perfectly legitimate demand
for common beef. There are nine consumers
of meat who cannot afford to buy prime steer
beef for every one that can. There will al-
ways be a demand at some price for the
dairy discards Without'permtitting them to
masquerade as steer beef. The . only right
way to handle this undertaking is for the re-
tail butcher to carry all of the diiferent
grades of beef and sell each one for exactly
what ’it is.

At the beginning of this article attention .

was called to the abundance of corn, much
of it in unsalable condition; in addition to
lowggrain prices we have feeding cattle sell-
ing lower than for many years. The fluctu-

Was organized in February, 1920 for the .

purpose of previding an outlet for the dairy

. products of this county; to- encourage dairy-
. ing in this section and to put the dairy in-

dustrygback on the map by restocking the
abandoned farms that had been given over

to keeping summer boarders ‘and had given.

. The cOmpany is capitalized at one hundred
fifty thousand , dollars,

($150, 000 .00). The
ninety preferred stockholders have subscribed
approximately five-sixths of the amount and
the sixty commOn stockholders the remaining
one-sixth. Common stock is available only to
milk producers on the basis of a fifty dollar
($50. 00) share of stbck for a twenty quart
,shipment of lmilk, the stock requirements be-
ing‘based on the average milk production for

each farmer for the months of September, Oc-.

tobcr and November The preferred stock
holders are the public spirited men of this
county who have the agricultural interests at
heart and are not neceSsarily milk producers.

We expect our farmer members to score 85 '

points on the government score cards, keep
ice during the summer and use covered milk
pails, also ship us their entire output. '

in the basement to take“ charge of the fifty H.

Nine-tenths of the milk is collected by milk
trucks, operated on an independent basis and
not at present connected with the Milk Ex-
change. Prices paid for milk hauling range
from three- quarters of a cent to one and one-
quarter cents per quart for distances varying
from five to‘twenty-five miles. The milk ship-
pers are paid promptly on the first and fifteen-
th of each month for the two weeks period.

The Milk Exchange, Inc, has now been in
its new plant.about three weeks and have
made it a point to invite the public into the
plant, holding “open house” every afternoon
for One week in addition to entertaining other

groups, such as nurses, teachers and public
Welfare groups and associations. .The growth-
of the last three weeks has‘been satisfactory.

We are also negotiating with the other in-
dependent dealers to supply them with milk
for their routes on the basis of two cents
over the cost of the milk to us, also take all
their ship-pers and enlarge the EXchanga;to
make it a country wide proposition as far as
the farmers go and a city wide proposition
as far as the distribution goes' pooling the
surplus of all at our Milk Exchange, pro-rat—
ing the surplus among all the farmers both
those in and out of the Exchange.

We are located about one block and a half
from the main street of our city, very near
one of the principle side streets. Pittsfield
has a population of forty-three thousand, but
our bV-product busineSs not only takes in
Pittsfield but the smaller places near by..

Although it is the intention of the stock-
holders and directors to make the Milk Ex-
change an institution working for the good
of the producer as well as supplying the city
with the better ,milk supply, we have met con-
siderable opposition from independent dealers.

Our main criticisms are that the organiza-
tiOn was started before its plant was ready,
second, that its building and machinery were
purchased at the peak of high prices, third,
that too much common stock and too much
milk was contracted for during the organiza-
tion period of the Exchange. Having such
a large amount of milk on hand, without
equipment resulted in the handling of milk
in an unSatisfactory manner and some pred-
judice against the Exchange on that account.
This however, has been overcome by the or-
ganized publicity wmk of our company dur-
ing the past three weeks since it has occupied
its new quarters.

The Pittsfield Milk Exchange belongs to
the Co- -operation Council composed of eight
co- -operative milk plants in this state, all of
which work together 011 marketing problems
to some extent. The Council is also consider-
ing co-opcrative purchasing of supplies for
the various plants.——VV. H. Barber, Manager.

Surplus Products

. RITERS IN “What the neighbors say”
column are trying to make themselves
and others believe that the American farmer
can get along with the export market for his
surplus products. Several suggestions are
oflered to prevent a surplus and to provide
for its disposition on the domestic market
should it accummnte. ,

.One of the suggestions by a writer in the
inns is to take the surplus and dump it on
the fields for fertilizer. That might work
but for tWO reasons. One of them is psycho-\
logical and the other is biological. In other
words one has to do with human nature and
the other with the nature of soils. The .
psychological reason why this scheme would
fail is because of the impossibility“ of getting
all the farmers to act in unison on the propo-
sition. The biological reason is the nature of
soils to become more productive when fertili-
sers are applied to them. The dumping of a
surplus as a fertilizer only paves the way for
a larger surplus.

It is hard to believe that the time will ever
come when farmers will attempt to solve their
surplus problem by destroying the surplus,
‘ and we doubt if anybody would be the gainer
, "in the long run by such economic waste. We
i" doubt, too, if any plan can be devised which
will preclude anly possibility of a surplus.
, Acreage and the productive efforts of man
~ can be controlled, but only within very nar-

row limits can man control the elements
‘ which are after all the bigfactors in the mak-
ing of a crop. We heartily welcome the day
3 when organization will be so perfected that
' ‘ ‘it can successfully control the percentage of
our tillable soil which shall be planted to the
various crops. We expect to see that day
I‘ come, but even then We shall have surplus-
ages of crops, not so large perhaps as at the »
'present time, but sufficiently large to requlre
a foreign outlet. Despite all we can .do
through organization and understanding
there will still be years of small crops and
. years of. .large Crops. And the. export demand
Will, we believe, continue as at present to be
«the great governor of grain prices. ,

Probably not ' one "farmer? can say gofl
state budget 'Was . for

 

A reader recently ventured the opinion
that road building was responsible for a large
part of the state tax this year. Well, he is
wrong. The total budget was Over $20,000-
000, and ‘only $1,200,000 was levied for high-
way purposes, principally to pay? interest on
bonds. , There are"several larger items than

this in the budget, including $1,107,500 to.

complete state oflice building; $2,456,250 in-
terest ‘on soldiers’ bonus bonds; $3,000,000
for the University. Appropriations for other
educational purposes

' 000; for the “militaryfestablishment,” $295,-

000; for the “Public Safety Department”
$350,000; for penal institutions, $1,135,000;
for other state departments . over $2,500,000.

A careful examination of this tax budget
gives one little hope for lower taxes for some
years to come. The institutions of the state
are constantly demanding more
funds; the University has a huge" building
program which must some day be carried out;

‘ there will be $50,000,000 of road bonds and
$40,000,000 of soldier bonus bonds to be re-

tired with interest. When all these bonds
are sold as they likely will be within the next
two or three years, the interest alone will
amount to about $5,000,000 annually to say
nothing about the amounts which will have to

be included sooner or later in the tax levy
to retire the bonds. ' ‘
It is not a pleasant outlook, is it? Re-

minds us of the story of the man who Went"

severely, “-what the dickens do you represent,

George, “I represent a taxpayer."

 

The Problem of France -

THE NATIONS represented at the arms
conference must view with a great deal
of satisfaction, the skill and courage. with
which the conference is handling its great-
est problem—Hie problem of France. Bat-
tered and abused as she was during the great
war France has had the deep sympathy of the
American people and in a lesser degree the
sympathy of her closer neighbors. Too much
sympathy has proven a bad thing for France.
It has contorted her attitude toward her in-
ternational obligations. It has given her an
exaggerated notion of her position among na-
tions. ‘ It has brought her to the point of be-
lieving that she should not be, bound by the
same rules of conduct to which other nations
submit. . 7

France gave advance notice to the ,arms
conference that she could not listen to propos-
als for limitation of land armament. So long
as the conference should confine its business
‘to' naval disarmament she would be with
them, but any attempt to force a reduction in
her land forces would be looked upon in an
unfriendly light. She came into the confer-
ence with that spirit. Her premier took ad-
vantage of the first opportunity which came
to warn the conference against any such sug:
gestion. He spoke of the German menace, of

the great army that Germany was construct.»
ing for a second world conquest, 'of‘the' uner .
'tected borders of France. ‘,In view of all these
things how could the 'cOnference ask France to ~

disarm? .Still moved byg’zxnpathy for suitors
ing ’France the conferené‘e listened politely,
applauded with vigor the eloquence “of the
French statesman, but remained‘unconvinced.

Taxm' g the Rich
VNY DISCUSSION of~ the excess profits

tax and the surtax is almost sure to ,_
bring forth two favorite arguments againstl

them. The one is passed on to the consum-
er; the other drives money into taxcxempt
see‘urities. It is very singular that the only

opposition to these. forms of taxation comes '

from the rich who claimed to evade them, and
never from the poor who are supposed to
eventually pay them. It grieves the rich to
escape their just share of the taxation bur-
dens. Hence, !they clamor for some other
kind of a tax which they cannot evade! ‘

If the excess profits tax is pawed on to the
consumer then thereis no such thing in this

country as competition Our. present tax ex— ,
empts net profits up to eight percent. Most *
capital ‘is satisfied with that return. Capitol s
which is not satisfied and seeks to earn a 3
higher profit and to escape the‘result-ant'tax- ;

ation by' charging the consumer a higher price

' for its product immediately feels the compo- .
tition of capital which is satisfied with the '

smaller return. The same competition which
prevents monopoly and profiteering should
prevent any industry in which there ”is com;
petition from passing its tax to the shoulders,
of the consumer. - ‘

But the mpst absurd argument of all is that r‘ .

the surtax drives money into, tax-exempt sc-
‘curities. How intelligent men can be dm

ceived by any such specious argument is _a .

mystery to anyone who has takenther timeio
examine it. It should be apparent at , once
that no more money can be invested in' tax-
. free securities than there are tax-free secur-
ities to absorb it. To argue otherwise is akin

I

to saying that a pail will. hold more water?" .

after it is already, filled to‘ overflowing. High,
sortaxcs ,do not increase the amount of tai—l
‘ free securities on the market, neither do - low
, surtaxes decrease them. ' Whether, Surtaxes
are high. or 10w thetax-free security will find

i. .

a market, and. any money (which is driven. into '

tax-free securities by high taxes can only ‘dis-
place an equal amount of’" man ' p .
turn will in large part be subject totaxation.

PRODUCINGi FOOD FOR EXPORT

T A STATE Convention of farm—
ers after a long and windy dis-
cussion without progress, one

old fellow rose up and said: I,

"If I were not sure that which I
am about to do, would do more good,
than anything that has been said, I
would not do it”——'—h‘e sat down. '

, not sure but I would do bet-

lam

ter to follow his example; but, pos- ‘

sibly, I may be pardonable for call-
ing the editor to a point of order in
the “Neighbor’s Say” columns.

Mr. Editor, one of your stock
phrases is “But you offer no remedy
for the situation.” Then, instead of
following with a remedy, you ad-
vance an abstract declaration that
things are or will be thus or so in
an "I’ve said it, that ends- it” sort
’or air, out of which comes too many
on the sidelines. a conviction that
YOU do not always offer a good‘ and
sufficient reason and in some cases
the remedies you do advocate are

pernicious, because at best your plan-

onlypermits the undesirable condi—
“tion to continue indefinitely its ex:
istence. .
In response to my article of a few
_ weeks ago, you said in effect that
could we not export our. surplus
farm products, many farmers would
‘ become«~bankrupts. If you please,
how much more is that saying than
can be said now, under the system
you advise for continuation?

In' a~genera1 way you admit as
things are the farmer receives less
than cost of production for the ex-
ported surplus and you DON’T offer
a‘remedy, except to recommend con-
' tinuing exports at a loss.
say in‘answer to Mr. Slagle of Wex—
ford: “Until farmers are so organiz-
ed that they can control production

. we must have the export channel to
relieve the market of surplus."

Mr. Editor, you miss entirely the
really vital issue at'stake. .

Incidentally I will boost your faith
in export necessity by saying there
will be just as much need‘of export
trade when farmers control produc~

.tion as there is now. ,
It, is not a question of shall or

aha-11 not there"be export trade, but,

the crux is, how shall we gdvern our
export trade, so as to derive a profit
rather than a deficit for the farmer
. You have not offered a remedy and
worse suggest that which is detri-
»'menta1.-, I . s .
Going back to the lace proposition
you indirectly .. advocate a custom,
that involves transporting the south-

EIPORTIN G REINDEER

  

this spending ten
twenty thousand dollars to buy Norweg-
tan reindeer to put on our cut-over lands.

' . Eaton County, Mich.

The 60 reindeer, for which the De-

partment of Conservation have con-
tracted are being introduced pri-
:, marily as a sporting proposition and
the entire cost of purchase, trans—
portation and liberation in Michigan
gwfll be paid out of funds accruing
‘ from the sale of hunter’s licenses.
1 From such information as we can
' 'igobtain, reindeer in their natural ele-
ment are wild game animals," altho
easily domesticated, and there is a
large area in the Upper Peninsula
and the northern part of the lower
peninsulathat is believed to be suit—
able as grazing grounds for rein-
deer?- lands that are worthless for
agricultural purposes and of low
value as cattle or sheep ranges, and
on which deer and other big game
are fast decreasing.

The importation of reindeer
' Michigan is no more an experiment
f than the introduction of Ringneck

pheasants that has proved in every
1‘ way successful. ,
. Our duty to the sportsmen and
fishermen of Michigan is to make
every reasonable effort to perpetu-
ate the privilege of hunting game
. birds and animals, and taking fish,
in accordance with the laws of the
state. So far as we have heard, the
great majority of the sportsmen—~—the
men who pay the freight—are with
us on the reindeer proposition.—
, David R. Jones, Chief Deputy, De-
-partment of Conservation.

INSURANCE LAW REGARDING
ASSESSMENTS

Will you please give the exact word-
ing and a short explanation of the clause
in the Michigan law which gives insur-
ance companies the right to hold all pol-
icy holders responsible for all assess-
ments until said policy is cancelled, even
though failure to pay an assessment at
a stated time has rendered the policy
null and void. which in turn relieves the
company of all liability in case of dam-
age.

Believing that few people understand
the true meaning of the clausei and believ-
1113 if they did its repeal could be secured
we would like your aid through the col-
umns of your hustling farm papery—C.
S. D.. Harrison, Mich,

The provision of the insurance
law in regard to assessments is as
follows: “It shall be the duty of
the incorporators of any company or-
ganized under, or subject to the pro-
visionsof, this chapter to prescribe

in their articles of association, the

liabilities of the members to- be rat-
ably assessed towards defraying the
losses and expenses of such compan-
ies and the mode and manner of col-
lecting such assessments, and the
members shall be liable to assess-

ment for all liabilities of the com?

pany to the extent declared in the

Courts have held that such, an agree—

he can not recover from" the com-
pany because he agreed that there
should be no liability during sus-
pension. The courts are, t erefore,
only enforcing his agreement when
they hold the company not liable for
loss occurring during suspension.

would pay his share of such losses
up to the time of the cancellation of

is necessary to have the premiums to

DEADFALLS

OUGHOUT much of Michigan
deadfalls are much used, espec-
fully in the timbered parts, al-

though a very good one is made by
using a large flat stone. Scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean and from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Arctic Ocean are thousands of
trappers who use deadfalls, snares
and‘ other varieties of home-made
traps, but at the same time there are
many thousands who know little or
nothing of them. 'A few of the many
reasons in favor of deadt‘alls are:
There is no weight to carry; it re-

 

 

quires no capital to , build where

there are forests or flat stones; they
do not mutilate animals or injure the
fur; skunk are usually killed With-
out leaving any scent .' ‘

Where fur animals take bait fldead-
falls can be used to advantage and
Michigan is such a state. At cer—
tain seasons animals do not take

~bait as well as others but as a rule

few baited traps are passed by
skunk, weasel, coon and mink.
'A Very good deadfall and one

much. used ismade as follows: First-

a little pen about a foot sduare is
built of stones, chunks or by driving
stakes c10se together leaving one side
open. - Stakes shOuld be out about
.30 inches long, small end sharpen-

half way. 'If the ground is very
hard stakes need not be so loflg but.
driven so that a little more than half
or say 18 inches remain above the
ground.

A pole about five inches in di-
ameter and anywhere from four to
six feet in length is laid across the
end of pen that is open. Another

log 01‘ pole five, six or more inches .

the trap is built for) and about 12

pack was very distinct after that,

I tend in Miki’s brain nebulous visions

and almost unintelligible memories
'Were swiftly wakening into life. It
was not Chalioner’s voice that he

heard, but it was a voice that he

know. It was the voice of Hela,
his giant father; the voice of Numa,
his mother; the voice of his kind for
a hundred and a thousand genera-
tions before him, and it was the in-
stinct of those generations and the
hazy memory of his earliest puppy-
hood that wereimpinging the thing
-- upon him. A little later it would
take both intelligence and experi—
ence to make him discriminate the
Mir-breadth difference between wolf
and dog. And this voice of his
blood was coming!
upon them swiftly, fierce and filled
with the blood—lust of hunger. ‘He
forgot Neewa. He did not observe
the cub when he slunk back deeper
under the windfall. He rosepupon
his feet and stood stiff and tense,
unconscious of all things but that
thrilling tongue of the hunt—pack.
Wind-broken, his strength fail-

ing him, and his eyes wildly search—~

ing the night ahead for the gleam of
, water that might save him, Ahtik,
the young caribou bull, raced for his
life a hundred yards ahead of the
wolves. The pack had already flung
itself out in the form of a horse-
shoe, and the two ends were begin—
ning to creep up abreast of Ahtik
ready to close in for the hamstring——
and the kill. In these last minutes
every throat was silent, and the
young bull sensed the beginning of
the end. Desperately he turned to
the right and plunged into the for-
est.

Miki heard the crash of his body
and he hugged close to the windfall.
Ten seconds later Ahtik passed with-
in fifty feet of him, a huge and gro—
tesque form in the moonlight, his
coughing breath filled with the
agony and hopelessness of approaCh-
ing death. As swiftly as he had
come he was gone, and in his place
followed half a score of noiseless
shadows passing so quickly that to
Miki they were like the coming and
. the going of the wind.

For many minutes after that he
stood and listened but again silence
had fallen upon the night. After

a little he went back into the wind- :

fall and lay down beside Neewa.

Hours that followed he passed in-
‘. restless snatches of slumber.

He
dreamed of things he had forgotten.
He dreamed of Challoner. He dream-
ed of chili nights and the big tires;
he heard his master’s Voice and he
felt again the touch of his hand;
but over it all and through it all
ran that wild hunting voice of his
own kind.

In the early dawn he. came out
from under the windfall and smelled
of the trail where the wolves and
the caribou had passed. Heretofore
it was Neewa who hadiled in their
wandering; now it was Neewa that
followed. His nostrils filled with
the heavy scent ,of the pack, Miki

travelled steadily in the direction of‘

the plain. It took him half an hour
to reach the edge of it. After that
he came to a wide and stony out-
cropping of the earth over which he
nosed the spoor to a low and abrupt
descent into the wider range of the
valley. -

Here he stopped.

Twenty feet under him and fifty}

feet away lay the partly devoured
carcass of the young bull.

‘ his heart stood still. Fromout of
the bushy plain had come Maheegun

, a renegade she-wolf, to fill herself"

of the meat which she had not help-
ed; to kill. She was a slinking, hol—
low—backed, quick-fanged creature,

had come ‘of eating a poison-bait; a‘ '
beast shunned by her Own kind—a ‘ 3

In the meantime, Challoner, a Hudson Bay Co. factor.
He has a pup,

her also.

He meets up with the bears. kills Noozak and secures Neewa. Chal-

loner returns to his camp with Neewa and the cab and Miki become fairly good

friends

The next morning Challoner ties Neewa and Miki. one at each end

of a leash, puts them in the front end of his canoe and starts down the river.
As they are nearing a waterfall the pup and the cub get into a fight. and roll

out of the canoe.

Chflloner, who rows to the shore, thinks the two will be

killed but, unknown to him they arrive at the foot of the falls much bruised but
still alive. Coming out on the shore they start ofl through the woods. They be-
come lost. Neewa discovers a. wasp ’s nest and proceeds to tear it down. Neewa

to him of his mother. And his
mother had come before Challoner
his master. _

For a minute er two he lay tremb-
ling, and then he went down, as he
would have gone to Challoner; with
great caution, with a wider suspense,
but with a strange yearning with-

in him that the man’s presence fail- ..

ed to arouse. He was very close to
Maheegun before she was conscious
that he was near. The Mother—smell
was warm in his nose now; it filled
him with ha great joy; and yet—he
was afr ' But it‘was not a phy-
sical fear. Flattened on the ground,
with his head between his fore-paws
he whined.

Like a flash the she-wolf turned,
her fangs bared the length of her

jaws and her bloodshot eyes aglow _

with menace and supicion. Miki
had no time to make a move 'or an-
other sound. With the suddenness of
a cat the‘outcast creature was upon
him. Her fangs slashed him just
once—and she was gone. ‘Her teeth
had drawn blood from his shoulder,
but it was not the smart of the
wound that held him for many mo-
ments as still as if dead. The Moth-
er smell was still where Maheegan
had been: But his dreams _ had
crumbled. The thing that had been
memory died away, at last in a deep

.breath that was broken by a whimp- ~

er of pain. For him, even as for
Neewa, there was no more a Chall-
oner and no longer a mother. But
there remained—the world! In it
the sun was rising. Out of. it‘ca'me
the thrill and the perfume‘of life.
And close to him—very close—was
the rich, smeet smell of meat.
~He sniffed hungrily’.‘ Then he
turned and saw Neewa’s black and
pudgy body tumbling down the slope
of the dip to ‘join him in the feast.

It was not in the ordained nature
of things that a black bear Cub and
a Mackenzie hound pup with a dash
of Airedale and. Spitz in-him should
“chum up" together as Neewa and
Miki had done. Therefore, he would
have said, the Beneficent Spirit who
watched over the affairs of four-
legged beasts must have had an eye
on them from the beginning. It was
she—Iskoo Wapoo was a goddess
and not a god—who had made Chal-

induced him to tie the pup and cub
together on the same piece of rope,
so that when they fell out of the
white man’s canoe into the rapids
they would not die, but would be

koki knew nothing of their adven-
tures, and on this morning when they
came down to the feast he was a
hundred miles away, haggling with
a white man who wanted, a guide.
He would never know that Iskoo Wa-
poo was at his side that very mo.-
ment, planning the thing that was to
mean so much in the lives cf Neewa
and Miki.

Meahwhile Neewa and Miki went

shoulder burned wherers‘he had torn

not lessen his appetite. Growling as

he ate, he filled himself until he

could hold no more.
Then he sat back on his haunches

and looked in the direction Mahee- ,

gun had taken.

It was eastWard,‘ toward Hudson
Bay, over a great plain that lay be-
tween two ridges that were like for-

est walls, yellow and gold in the “
, merning sun. He had never seen the

world as it looked to him new. The
wolves had overtaken the caribou
on a scrag on the high ground that
thrust itself out like. a short. fat
thumb from the black and owl-in-
tested forest and the carcass lay- in
a meadowy dig that overhung the
plain. From the edge of this dip
Miki could look down—and so far
away that the wonder of what he
saw dissolved itself at last into the
shimmer of the sun and the blue or
the sky. Within his vision.» lay a
. paradise of marvellous ' promise;
wide stretches of soft, green mea-

. dow; clumps of» timber, park-like un-

til they_merged into the deeper for-
est that began , with the farther
ridge, great patches of bush radiant
with the coloring of June; here and
there the gleam of water, and half a
mile away a lake that was like a
giant mirror set in a purplish-green
frame of balsam and spruce.

Into these things Maheegun, the
she-wolf had gone. He wondered

whether she-:wpuld come back. He.

sniffed the air for her. ‘ But ‘thero
was no longer the mother-yearning
in his heart. Something had already
begun to tell him of the vast differ-
ence between the dog and the wolf.
For a few moments, still hopeful

that the world held a mother for‘

him, he had mistaken her for the
one he had lost. But he understood
“———now. A little more and Mahee-
gun’ s teeth would ‘m' “ snapped his
shoulder, or slaslnd his throat to

him. Nowhere, since? he had lost

ASK ANY WHITNEY - OWNER

Dear Sirs:

The tractor 1 recently bought from you ll satis-
factory it: every way.
have plowed 30 acres '\
this winter. My tractor
was very saving on
gasoline and oil. con—
sidering the condition
of the ground. The last
ground I plowed was
frozen 3 inches deep.

I have handled tract-
ors of other makes. but
this tractor has more
power for its size than ‘
any -tractor I ever saw. ‘ 7

Respectfully, C. P. SMITH. Aurora. Oth.

    

Gentlemen:

Have used the Whitney a year and am very much
pleased with results. During the spring of il9|8 l
plowed l06 acres and fitted 56 acres for farmers
who were shortest of help. While the land is hilly
l have always plowed right through and have never
had to nee low speed except on tough joint grass
sod. I firmly believe the Whitney is the best farm
tractor on the market today.

ARTHUR LOPUS. Waterford. Pg.

Gentlemen:

We have had our tractor since March I919 and
used it for all kinds of work. We plowed and
disced 36 acres of oats and 34 acres of corn, using
a. double disc and spring tooth harrow at the same
time when other people had their tractors stored

, away on cement floors to keep
them from sticking in the
mud. This fall we plowed

about 32 acres for wheat and
double disced the same. We
had some ground that was
never plowed over three inches
deep until this fall when our
Whitney. followed by a P. 6: 0.
gang plow, went through to a
depth of eight inches. The
neighbors were surprised to see it ull tw0 bottoms
eight inches deep—said they cou d not see where
it had the power. I claim that the Whitney is
. one of the best investments any farmer can make.

JOHN lNWALLE. Minster. Ohio.

 

 

Gentlemen:

I want to say a word of commendation about the
Whitney tractor I bought last spring. I am well
pleased with it for two ‘ ‘
reasons. It has the
power to do the work
and its light weight en-
ables me to use it on
clay land without un-
duly packing it. And
in wet times it is always
ready to do its duty—and does it.

ON COUNTRY LIVING

IRST OF ALL, I want to thank

you again for the help you have

‘ given me, personally, and thru
the columns of the Business Farmer.

I want to say to the ladies who
recommended the Gem Vacuum
Sweeper, that I purchased one, and
am surely well pleased With it. I
think it a great time and labor-sav—
er. If one has several rugs or car-
pets they Cannot afford to be with-
out one.

I think there is a vast difference
- between “country living” and dwell—
ing in the country. We can make it
what we will, a life of drudgery, or
a life worth while. First, the coun—
try is the only place, to my notion,
to bring up strong, healthy children.
A child confined to a small back
yard or alley and fed mainly on
package foods from a store she,lf
must fight a double battle, while the
child whose play ground is not lim-
ited, and who is fed the best and
freshest of fruits and vegetables,
home cooked food and good pure
milk will not only measure and
weigh up to the standard but is able
many times to ward off sickness.

“Keeping fit” is a hobby of mine
although I’ll admit, there are times
when I fail. _

I do not believe that just because
we live in the country'we should be
content with just any kind of a
home. While we cannot all have a
large house, we can all have conven-
ient, comfortable’and cheery homes.
Thought we may not be able to have
all the modern conveniences, welcan
all have some, and we should be just
as proud of our well— kept homes as
are our city sisters.

We have one great disadvantage

though, in our locality, and that is
poor schools. Too few scholars, and
too many dis-interested teachers. I
say dis-interested because the only
thing they seem to be interested in
is the end of the month. but I be-

A BIT on EVERYTHING

AVE enjoyed the sisters’ letters
very much, also your kind
notes and although I may not

be able to be of great help to the
dear sisters who asked for advice, on
the “eternal tangle.” I will proder
my advice at least.

None of us can live our life just
as the other woman does, everyone’ s
nature is different. I could never
do as “Cousin" did, because of my
children. I would not want them,
after they grew up to hear that their
mother was not a “geod woman. ” No
doubt “Cousin" feels she can never
love and forgive her husband again,
but, isn’t she putting herself down
to his plane by flirting with other

T IS A strange thing but neverthe-
less true that married men run
after the girls more than single

men.

\They who have never used coffee
.do not know what they miss, there-
in lies the secret. Or to make it
more plain a man or woman who has
once been married generally gets
married a second time much quicker
than a single person gets married.
The peets tell us that marriages are
made in heaven, they are not of
this earth. Certain it is that there
are very few of this earth. Ninety

per cent of the people who get mar-.5

ried do net love each other, they
only imagine they do, or the love is
all on one side,- and after the novel-

‘ty of the thing wears off the woman

looks upon the man as a meal ticket
and the man looks upon the woman
as a maidé’of-alt—work orgv'drud‘ge.

ings, linoleum when once laid
usually remains ‘ undisturbed
until it is worn not; therefore par-

*ticular care should be taken in lay-

ing it The floor under it- should be
level, smooth, tight and dry. On
rough fl‘oors linoleum will wear un-.
evenly, and moisture will cause’ the
burlap backing to deteriorate.
There are two ways of fastenin
linoleum to wood floors—tech
and cementing. The first is the sim-

pler method, but by the second the
seams and edges are made water- .,
' tight and the linoleum is said to give '
”longer service.

First of all, the
quarter-round molding along the
foot of the baseboard should be re.-
moved and the linoleum cut in strips
running crosswise of the floor boards
if possible. It is is to be tacked, the
strips should be fitter snugly togeth-
er along the seams but should not be
fastened for 3 or 4 weeks, for lino-
leum'usually expands when laid on
a floor and if tacked down at once
will buckle. To give plenty of room
for this expansion, it is a good plan
to trim back the edges next the base-
board for 1- 4 or 1- 2 inch, or just
enough so that the molding will cov-
er the edge. The molding should
then be nailed directly to the base--
board, leaving the linoleum free to
expand and to be trimmed more next
to the base board if necessary. The
linoleum may be so perfectly held in
place that it will not need to be
tacked, but if it does, brads should
be set 1- 8 to 1- 4 inch from the edge
about 3 to 4 inches apart and driv-
en well below the surface.

Linoleum .may be cemented -' at- u

the seams and edges directly, to a ‘

wood floor or permanently cemented
down firmly over a layer of deaden-
ing felt paper that has itself been
pasted to the floor. Some manufact-
urers and dealers furnish printed
directions ,for this method. The ce-
ment used should be waterpm‘of and

contain no silicate of soda (water "

glass) because this is injurious to

and to make it last longer.- Wax
‘should be used‘wn the inlafd and
plain kinds, and varnish on the
printed ones, for wax sometimes

tends to soften the printed surface.

If either of these finishes is applied
the linoleum is then cleaned and car-
ed for like a wood floor so finished.
If not given a special finish lino-
leum should be swept with a soft

brush and dusted with an oiled or ,

dry mop. Occasionally it should be
cleaned. more thoroughly with a
cloth wrung out of suds made With
lukewarm water and neutral soap,

Dear Uncle Ned and Cumulus—'1 want
to thank each and every one of you who
contributed to my shower of post cards
and letters, and also those who )sent oth-
er tokens of remembrance. I received
140 cards and 34 letters, besides some
papers which I enjoyed immensely. Two

of the cousins sent stamped envelopes

for answers. I also received a hyacinth
bulb and I was told to ‘watclr it grow."
That will pass the time away very pleas—
antly, I never walked a step in my life
and I never went to school. .My parents

started me out and the rest I picked up ‘

by myself. I have a little sister, nine
years old and in the fourth grade, so
you see I can’t *be very lonesome. In-
deed, I foel that I am blessed by having
a. father and mother to take care of me.
don’t you think so? Good-bye to you all,

thank each one of you for what you
did. During your life you will be
repaid many times over for the lit-

along the‘way. I also received a

they are all so pretty Next week I
will tell you how many I received. I
am also receiving a large number of

The Golden Apples .
‘There was. once upon a time three
golden apples for sale and an old man
owned them but it seemed that no one
was rich enough to buy them. At last
some one said, "What is the price of
those apples?” The old man answered,
"Those apples cannot be. bought- with
money You must go to a certain foun-
tain in wonder forest and say ‘token brok-
en’ 20 times, then the apples will be
yours " Now there was a young lord
in the crowd who thought himself very

ples." . He jumped’ on his horse and
dashed awayto the forest as he got to

In this enlightened age, argument

Yes, friend Taylor, it is parddnable to
say anything you want to about the ed-
itor and his opinions. His sense of fair
play will lead him to publish criticisms
about himself which he would never think
of publiphing about a reader. But we
are straying from the subject. Let's go
back This discussion started over the
objections that were raised ns me time
ago by certain Republican n,wspapers
importers. etc, and ore recently by
Pres. Howard of the merican Farm Bu-
reau Federation to the American valu-
ation plan of the Fordne'y bill, which it
was and is alleged, will work an injury
to our export trade and consequently to
the farmer. You’raise no question as to
the alleged injury. Your “theory” as I
understand it is that the‘farmer would
not suffer from the loss of this export
business because "he makes no money
out of it, anyvmy." How do you know
what effect export demand has upon the
pricesmf farm products For years \V}
have produced a surplus of grain. The
prices the farmers have received, wheth-
er high or low, have been influenced by
that export demand, and they. always

e. But in the case of potatoes, for
hilch there is little if any export de-

.mand, what happens when we produce

largely in excess of our domestic require-

ments? Would not the same thing hap-'

pen to grains if We were to suddenly de-
stroy our export trade by the adoption
of the American valuation plan? The
"theory" that farmers should produce
less, develop their domestic market, and
make a profit on What they do produce is
fine. I agree with it whole-heartedly.
But it's going to take time to bring about
that condition. In the meantime, would
not good common sense tell us. to cons
serve our export market until that happy
condition is brought about? That is
really the .only issue with which we are
confronted so far as the American val-
uation plan is concerned r—Editor

7 keep up the fertility of the soil that

equals the use of barnyard manure.

The cattle feeder who exercises
good judgment in buying and selling
his cattle, feeds a properly balanced

. ration, regardless of whether he rais-

es all of the ingredients or not, can
trust the old farm to make up. by
increased production, more than the
amount the cattle may lose. No. man

the market and do his level bestlto
buy that kind; then make them as
good as they can be made and abide

'by the outcome.

. Yearlings Lead in Demand

The up—to—date cattle feeder will
not overlook the feet that high grade
yearling steers have the call in the
beef cattle market and will continue
to have it until further'notice. All
through the current year prime
yearling steers have been outselling

- all other grades, commanding a pre—

mium over steers of even quality but
heavier weight of from $2 to $4 per
th. In' the Chicago market on
Wednesday, Nov. 2, a carioad of
choice yearlings sold for $12.50, on
the same day in the same market,‘
another car of cattle equally well-
bred and well—finished but a year
older and 300 pounds heavier in av-
erage weight, brought only $9.50
per cwt. The first prize carioad at
the State Fair fat steer exhibit last
fall were light—weight Here-ford
yearlings but they brought $16 per
cwt. The fourth prize carload in the

same show were Angus two-year-olds -

and they only brought $9.35 per cwt.

They were just as well—bred asythe .

younger cattle and much “riper”
from the standpointof finish but
they weighed 1,3 60 pounds.

Michigan is to be well represent-
ed at the International Fat Steer
Show, next month, by a band' of
yearlings and two-year-olds, bred
and fed by the Michigan Agricultural
College. The wri-‘er has never seen
steers of better q ality than some of
the yearlings included in the M. A. C.
exhibit; whether they win or lose,
the beef cattle interests of the W01—
verine state will be Well represented

In conversation Miss Ramsdcll
stated in answer to the question,
“Can a flock of turkeys be reared

upon a. farm where turkeys have long ,

been reared and where that dread
disease, black head had visited them
and took a large portion of the flock
each year?” “Yes, I believe that
birds can be reared that can and
will resist disease. " We then asked
“How can you prove that state-

/ DEADFALLS
, (Confinued from page 9)

stout stick driven through and mm.-
ly into the ground, a few inches
from end so there will be no danger
of the “fall,” turning and dropping
of its own accord .when no animal is
at bait. Trap is set by placing the
prop, or upright, Which is a stick
about seven inches long and half an
inch through, between the t p log
and the one nnthe ground. 11‘ top
of the" upright is placed the long
trigger, which is only a straight
stick about the size of. the upright
but some 15 inches long the baited
end of which extends back into the
little pen.

Bait may be a piece of rabbit.
chicken or any tough bit of meat
but best results generally come it
fresh, and bloodier the better. The
animal on scouting the bait will
reach into the trap—the top of the
pen having been carefully covered
over—between the logs. As the bait
is being eaten the. long trigger is
pulled off the upright,“ or. prop, and

down'comes the fall generally catch- ’

ing crimes the neck. A rabbit will
make from eight to a dozen baits.

Fish are good bait for mink and also _

used to some extent for coon but if
the wealther is "not’freezing should
be tied ‘on. The head of a.
weighing a pound or so makes a
very good bait. ‘

' To set this trap simply place the
bait trigger or upright, take hold of
the baited end from rear, move bask
and forth, down also as the animal

generally pulls down , when eating - ’ ‘
and you Will find that it gees off 0113- ,

ier than supposed. Be sure to Cover
top of pen after setting. Both ends

of the prop, or upright. can be some-. .

what rounded if desired and under
side of bait or long trigger can be

flattened somewhat on under side -

where the upright rests. Triggers

should be made of hardwood, hick-r:

ory, hard maple, beech, oak, dog
wood, etc. it is not a. bad idea to
make triggers in advance so that
they become seasoned and hardened.
To set this trap raise top or fall
pole up and hold with knee while ad-
justing triggers. Put bait on trig-
ger before setting. .
' Skunk, civet cat, wild cat, coon.
mink, weasel and in fact nearly all
kinds, of land fur bearing animals
are easily caught in deadfalls es-
pecially during the first part of the
trapping season when, as a rule. they
take bait more readily. Red fox and
wolves are‘ exceptions as these ani-
mals are rarely caught in deadfalis.

Marten are now but few in Michigan _

but this trap is a good one for this
animals. /

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
WING, probably, to the inter-
vention of the Thanksgiving

p ' holiday, the business develop-
ments in the country at large have

been withOut important feature. A‘

survey of the business situation re-
veals a slowing down along. whole-
sale lines and a tapering off , in \the
general jobbing business of the
country. More activity than here-
tofore is reported in retail lines but,
at that, the volume of trade does
not equal that of other recent‘years.
The falling ed in retail demand is
accounted for by the conservatism
a

period of unemployment following
the holiday season; this latter con-
tingency is largely. imaginary for
the records of the United States De-
partment of Labor shows nearly half
a million more men employed in.0c-
tober this year, than during the pre-
vious August.

A great deal has been said before
and after, about the timidity and
tender-footedness of the average
farmer in the face of serious busi-
ness reverses; investigation shows,
however, that the\ American farmer
is really standing the test just as
well as men in other lines. The most
natural explanation for the eleventh
hour fortitude of the farmer is the:
that with the signing of the
armistice his hopes of high prices
faded and he, decided to make the
best of a bad situation.

The metal situation as it relates
to pig iron and steel‘is gradually
growing stronger because of a steady
increase in orders for both of these
products. The huge pile of clipper
ore on hand at the close of the war
is beginning to dwindle, a very en-
couraging feature,
is in the higher levels of manufact-
uring that copper is used in large
quantities. \Vool is showing more
and more strength as time goes on
but cotton is tending toward lower
price levels. "A fain demand exists
for hides. but at prices so ridiculous-
ly low that butchers make very lit-
tle on account of the daily “take-
off." A survey of the footwear trade
shows a marked reduction in retail
prices, during the last 60 days.

The financial situation is showing
a regular monthly improvement in
connection with interest rates and
the availability of funds with which
to carry on their regular processes
of trade. While there is no accumu-
lation of funds for investmentpur-
poses the demand for dividend-pay-
ing securities has been more active
of late than hitherto,_the movement
being confined largely to the manu-
facturing group and the railwayelist.

,Call money has ,been available for

the most part, during the 'past week,

The foreign exchange situation
presents a peculiarly mixed appear-
ance with sterling above $4 andthe
Belgian and German circulating 111e-
‘diums on, just about the most 11n-
popular footing they have yet occu-
pied.' In England financial condi-
tions are said to be improving rap-

» idly and with the passing of time

the French government is regaining
its former financial prestige. , Dur-
gov.-
ernment has repaid to the Bank of

_ ‘ France another 100,000,000 francs
of its lean. ‘

the worst in years, the condition be?

ing reported only slightly ever 50
per cent, as compared with a. ten-
year average of 87 per cent. Both
the Australian and Argentinian ex-
portable surplus have suffered a re-
duction since a week ago. and a good
deal of the Australian crop is being
taken by Japan to make up her short-
age of food occasioned by the partial
failure of her rice crop. In addition,
there haVe been some downward re-
visions made in the size of the Arm
erican crop. These factors have en-
couraged more or less active buying
the past week which have given a
good deal of temporary strength to
the market. On the other side of
the deal is the comparatively low
domestic demand, therebeing very
little inquiry from the mills and the
Canadian imports. These
however, show some sign of falling
off. All in all there is a good deal
of encouragement in the present
wheat situation. Statistically it is
very strong, but the market is yet
quite too sensitive to the financial
factors to permit of any worth—while
conclusions. As a reaction from the
steady advance in prices the past
week we may expect a weaker one'
before the close of the current week,
with some. unimportant declines in
the market However, we do not ex—
pect to see as much liquidation take
place aslhas been the case in the
preceding months following substan-
tial gains in the market, and His
not likely that the market will re—
turn to- its previous low levels.

last week and the tone of the market
was st1ong most of the time. Ex-

aggregated 1,000,000 bushels and it .

was said that if lake boats had been
more plentiful considerable more
.business would have been done. Re-
ceipts at that point amounted to 1,-
287,000 bushels. During the week
ending November 19th, 704,000
. bushels of corn left the United States
for foreign lands and the week pre-
vious 454,000 bushels were shipped.
For the week ending Nov. 19th5 in
1920 exporters took 702, 000 bush-
els, or only 2, 000 bushels less than
shipped this year in the same per-
iod. This fact alone would lead one
to believe export business has not
. been any better than it was last year
but when the figures are compiled
for the period from July 1 to Nov.
19th of this year they show that 10, —
214, 000 bushels Were exported. com—
pared with 2,552,000 bushels last
year. On the opening day of the
current week corn was quiet and
firm. ‘ ‘1

RYE

There was a. firm tone to the rye
market every day of last week and
as a result prices advanced some. No.
2 is 86c on the Detroit market and
85 1- 2c at Chicago Exports ,of rye
for the week ending Nov. 19 amount-
ed to 146, 000 bushels. This was
nearly four times the. total'of the
shipments of the previous week but

-less than 1—4 of the amount for the -

, same week one'year ago. The‘total
amount shipped from July 1 to Nov.
19 this year was only about 1- 5 of
that exported during theisame per-
iod in 1920. The explanation for
this is that wheat prices have been
.so low that foreigners have bought
wheat for bread insteadvof rye.

BARLEY

The barley market has an easier,
tone than a week ago but. prices.

' remain unchanged. At Detroit feed:-
ing is $1. 10@1. 30 per cwt., While
on the Chicago market it is 51@.55c
per bushel. There has been consid-
erable more barley exported than the
majority of the people knew. Reli-
able figures show that over 15, 000, -
000 bushels have been shipped from
this country since July 1.
the past few weeks export business
has been on the decline in this grain
and the market has weakened.

ELOTTE. the Edison of Europe, manufacturer of the greatest Cream
Separator the world has ever known, announces a sweeping reduction in
prices. Labor conditions in general together with tremendous re-building and
re-organizing efforts put forth by this big man of Belgium has resulted in cut-
ting production costs to the bone.

And right now at tlzz'xparticular time exchange rates are extremely favorable. Take advantage of
this condition while it lasts. Get the most for your American dollar. Buy now and save money.

    

Before buying any separator find out how the Melotte has won 264 Grand and International
Prizes and how, for efficiency of skimming, ease of turning, convenience of operation and
durability the Great Belgium Melotte has won every important European contest. Find out
why 500,000 Melotte Separators are in continuous use today.

self-Balancing Bowl

The Belgium Melotte is the only single-bearing-bowl separator made.This patented bowl hangs from one frlc~
tionless ball bearing and spins like a tbp. It is self-balancing. It skims as perfectly after 15 years' use as when
new. Positively can not ever get out of balance—can not vibrate and thus cause cross currents which waste cream
by re-niixing with the milk. The 600 lb. Melotte turns as easily as the 300 lb. machine of other makes. Spins for
25 minutes unless brake is applied. No other separator has or needs a brake. The Melotte bowl has solved the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

problem of perdfe skimming,
“lawman!”

Every Belgium imported Melotte Cream Separator is
sold under an absolute. ironbound. 15-year guarantee.
No Melotte is ever sold except under this guarantee. A
guarantee written in plain English so that you can un-
derstand it. A guarantee that is 100% stronger than any
other separator guarantee ever made. A guarantee that
really guarantees something—upon which you can ab.
solutely rely—an absolute protection to the purchaser,
and which binds us to our bargain.

\\

Vibration of a cream separator’s bowl will soon cost

you more money in cream waste than the price of

your separator. U. 8. Government Bulletin No. 201

says that a perfectly true motion of the bowl is abso-

lutely necessary. the bowl is the vital part of any :
separator—the part where the cream separation takes }
p ace.
