Now don’t you think at the present rate of taxation he is paying an almighty- high price for it? You also stated that taxes were not coming down for some time. If such is the case please tell us farmers how we are going to pay them. It already looks as if the majority of farmers will go broke by the time their taxes are paid this year.—J. R. Smith, Ionia County, Mich. Had you read the editorial aright you wouldn’t have found it necessary to ask me the above question. The purpose of the editorial was to impress you and other readers with the fact that you are paying high for the good roads, educa- tion, etc._ which you are buying. I repeat that taxes are not coming down for a long time, IF the contemplated projects of state and, counties are carried out to the letter. It remains with you voting tax- payers to say whether they shall be carried ouL—«Editor. AUTUMN SNOW HITEST snow through stretch- es of red-brown fern and L brakes, red-brown oaks, red- brown laurel swamps; white poplar shapes and whiter birches; pines in masses of somber green against the white and brown; the wastes reaching on to drifts of purple hills against a slaty sky. Tangles of tamarack, balsam, cedar, spruce along singing brooks and about steely lakes. Tall gray columns of ruined pines, each stressed to its height by its line of clinging snow. Unfenced, a white cleared field with .great stumps in white and gray. A lifeless rough board shack, the win- dows broken, black paper shreds streaming from wall and roof. Again, the waste; then woven wire; hardy cattle and hardier sheep browsing in brush and snow. A white cleared field with great roots in great snowy piles; smoke from the chimney of a wee shingled home. Within, wife and children, warmth, courage, cheer. Such folk abide, winnowed by hardness; no soft folk; sound grain. Our gracious frontier gives their comradeship, gives them blessed freedom, visions, hope. No weak war is theirs against chaos for God's kingdom. Still may wayfar- ers see this chimney with its banner of smoke.-—~David Clay (Michigan) “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” OUR EDITORIAL of December i 3rd on “State Taxes" appeals to L me profoundly. In fact, as I read your publication, though not myself a farmer today, I am often deeply impressed with the sanity of your views, and” particularly with the name of a farmer paper which recognizes the business character of farming. My Uncle Ben in Minne- sota, with whom I have often toiled and sweat in the open field, taught me, in my boyhood, what is far more true today than it was then: the big problem in farming is business man- agement, not bone labor or perspir- ation. As farmers who are business men are today taking an intensive view of the problems of government and "are facing those problems from the standpoint of business, as affecting their business they must be inter- ested in your discussion of State Taxes and: of other kinds of taxes. When you say, however, that the average farmer is not sufficiently careful in buying with taxes the forms of service that government furnishes him, I am inclined to think you have limited too much the range of your statement. Is not this true of the average taxpayer, whether in couhtry or city? There is probably no problem in government diatom-- cult of. solution-than that of the in- cidence of taxation, or who pays the final tax.” It is like chasing a needle — in the haystack. But an equally dit- flcuit problem is that otthe uni- versal carelessness, indifference or ~ ignorance: of: taxpayers (regarding “their tax fter it is paid. ' it While you are 'whynot con- “County.” Representing the committee of dis— interested citizens who have spent two or three years in study of the Michigan problem, I venture to util- ize your space for the privilege of calling attention of your readers to government, called the the proposal for a constitutional amendment which, according to well informed public officials, ought to relieve some of the taxpayer’s bur- den due to unbusinesslike methods of county administration. It is reported that most of the rural counties are satisfied with their present conditions and do not seek any charge. In fact, from some rural counties we get the message that there is likely to be stiff oppo- sition even to a consideration of any change. Why this should be true is hard to understand unless opponents are afraid to let the people of Mich- igan or of any given county have the facts and express themselves at the polls. The whole plan is overflowing with hurdles, difficulties, checks and popular referendums. It cannot be considered as a state issue until 105,000 signatures are secured to initiatory petitions. It cannot be adopted in the state except by ma— jority vote of all voters in the state in November, 1922‘. It cannot move hand or foot "in the state until the legislature of 1923 has passed laws in harmony with the amendment. Even after the legislature has acted it cannot take effect in a Single coun- ty of Michigan until a majority'of the taxpayers and voters in such county have voted to try the sug- gested' plan. From the standpoint of the tax- payers alone, would it not be worth while to have a little light turned on the whole situation through the medium of the Michigan Business Farmer. If the people can get the facts through such invaluable agen- cies of public information as your paper, no one need worry as to the results—W. P. Lovett, Campaign Manager, Committee on Reorganiza- tion of County Government in Mich- igan. The facts are what we and our read- ers want. As we have said before, “if commission form of government means lower taxes and greater efficiency in the county we want it. If it doesn’t we don’t. We intend to inform ourselves and our readers upon this plan that we may be guided intelligently when called to vote upon the. matter. Your views and oth- er’s are invited.——Editor. SOME OBJECTIONS TO CONSOLI- ' DATION IN ANSWER to Mr. Johnson’s artice in M. B. F. of November "' 19th, 1921. I came to Michigan with my parents from New York (sii) L state in the fall of 1868, to Green- ville, Montcalm Co. The Little Red Schoolhouse was burned and a nice. large building erected to take its place that would seat sixty—eight scholars. It was painted white. I received my first schooling there, and later I went to the Greenville High‘ School through the tenth grade. ’ Now as I look back, and also from my observation at Climax, Kal- amazoo 00., where I live, and where we have a twelfth grade school, I Would rather my children would at- tend a good district school through the eighth grade than the city school through the same grades. I agree with Mr. Johnson that we should have some additions to our educational system. The one most forcibly brought to mind just noW is that the teacher should be morally, physically and educational- 1y qualified to teach the grades they are hired to teach, or else the super- intendent of public instruction should be compelled to revoke his or her certificate. Under the present laW he Will not do it. As the law is today, the superintendent of public instruction and state normal heads control the teachers and their sal— aries. The teacher very often is a poor one and the people have no redress. I think the teacher should be bound to give reasonably good satisfaction as a teacher, just as (Continued on page 13 ) 7—1 seeding machines, etc. finance the farmer. i XIIIXIIIIIII XIIIXIILXIIUIII lllIXllKIHIXIIUHIXIIIXHI lllIXIlK XHUHUIKIHIIHUI iOH:eugomowont.«10min:onscuooullnnouqDIONIOINOH-In ‘émnmflm*9 i‘ OST of the readers of this paper know that we have reduced our prices on farm machines for 1922.

LIABLE FOR BALANCE ‘DUE In Aug” 1920 auto sales company of Ann Arbor sold us a sixnpassenger car taking our Ford as $400 dollars payment and $115 cash, leaving 'a balance of $1,- 000. They took our note for 6 months on their own note form with no collateral for security. The only security they had was the car, the title of which was to remain in their name. Before the six months were up prices dropped and we realized we never could make pawnent on the note so we wrote these people and told them they could have the ‘car as we couldn’t pay for it. They came down here to see us a few days before the 'note Was due and flatly refused to take the car. They finally arranged to renew the note for 3 months, During that time We tried all eyer to sell the car in order to meet'the note and failed. so we took the car back 'to them. They took the ear and asked us to 'sign 1a note for sixty days while they sold the car. There was no written or oral agreement re— garding the selling of the car. They said they would sell the car to cover the note. They did not agree to give us the amount they received over the face ‘of the note. A month ago they wrote us saying that they were ditching the bar at $600 which meant a loss at $400 and wanted us to stand one—half of that or $200 and $70 interest. Now they threaten us with le- gal action to get settlement; Can they make us pay the difference7—C. K., Belleville, Mich. ‘ They were not obliged to accept the car in return for the note. When you signed the note you made a promise to pay the amount of the note which they might enforce ir- respective of the reservation of the title of the car. As they ‘did not seize the car by virtue of their con- tract in the note retaining title they acted as your agent in selling of the car and I ‘am of the opinion that they would be authorized to endorse the amount of the sale upon the note and recover the balance from you.——- Legal Editor. - BEE KEEPING BOOKS Where can I purchase a book on bee- keeping and how to make my o‘vvn bee- hives?—.-A.

I'll say before. beginnin’ that I have given much thought to these problems for I know they concern the whole human race an’ my greatest specialty is helpin’ my teller human bein’s. Helen R. of Lake Odessa, an' vi,~ cinity, asks if she ought to wear her skirts. longer? My dear Helen, with— out seein’ you I cannot answer as perfectly as I would like. I do not know how long you wear ’em, you know; but this I can say: Some girls, on accohnt of their complex- ions an’ other things, look better with longer skirts, but if you have two real good reasons for wearin" ’em short Why it’s all right with me, keep on wearin’ ’em. By special wire from Paris (111.) I. am advised that they will be longer next spring. They are to be one—fifth of an inch longer, which means that by the time .. you are a grandma, skirts may be back to normal—an' then agin. they may not—all dependin' on Whether they are or not.

No the jackasses are not all in Congress. The supply is ample to keep Congress supplied for years to. come ’an there’ll be some left for state legislatures an’ similar for a good while yet. Den’t worry, we’ll always have a plenty of ’em an’ some of- ’em’s bound to be elected for somethin’ every year. Nellie. G., Pontiac: No Nellie, I Wouldn’t recomend tar for the com- plexion.

I ‘ atop and Market Outlook OTEJNG short of a world panic can prevent substantial in the prices of many farm products hetero new son’s crops are gathered. This prediction is based on the established fact that a large per- » ccntage of the 1921 crops have been sold lay the farmers and are either consumed or fi strong hands able to hold for larger prices. The speculators will, as usual, get the major benefit of the higher prices though some ben- efits will dribble through to the farmer whose bank laccount and credit has en large enough to enable him to hold. ith some minor exceptions all remaining crops will be in fair demand from now on with prices tend- ing upward. So far as acreage is concerned the tenden- cy will be toward fewer acres and less risk and work. There will be more “mm to "form but less machinery and fertilizer to farm with. Farmers will take .a chance on fields which aren’t fit to produce a decent crop. And "they will not be ao-pmrticuhr about the quality of theirueed. We may, therefore, "look for a smaller total acreage and a smaller total production. ‘ The corn acreage will be greatly reduced particularly in the surplus states. The Crop on hand now .is nearly a third of .a billion bushels more Than the .mrrnal surplus. The corn farmer’s. financial "safety depends upon cutting this down, and a word of mouth cam- paign With in 'view is already going the rounds of the com belt. But that should not influence the Mich?an business farmer. Re 610qu plant usual acreage ‘for Reding purposes. The world wheat acreage will he substan- tially the same as the 1921 acreage. Some countries will plant less; others more. The yield per acre will be less. Soil fertility has suffered from the abnormal drain of the :past few years and the great droughts of 1921 have not “the soil. More acres will be planted to cats and the total yield will probably be larger. It isnot likely that we shall have 17W0'ycars of blasted oat crops in succession. True to the rule of Em which thasvoel- .dom failed in the past quarter of a century the potato acreage will be slightly increased in all countries. The U. S. production will ex- - coed 1921, but will not be nearly so large as the 1920. Here, again, the ability of the farmer to buy fertilizer and certified seed *will be a reckoning factor in the acre yield, The bean acreage will be largely increased in Michigan and New York, 'but will probab- ‘ty show a falling off in California and other! western states. Many farmers in Michigan who turned from beans to sugar beets will surely "turn back this your. Tint will mean more beans and less sugar beets, Which will be well “for all concerned.

For many months, this toil-worn son of the sod hasstood shivering at the back door for sustenance. But. in- stead of wheat ho has been given chad; in- stead of meat he has been given bone; instead of welcome he has received the cold shoulder of hrdifierenoe. But friends have interceded.

She has been getting famous for twenty years, but her friends only discovered her literary identity recently. Although her story, “The Circuit Rider’s Wife," did not ap- pear under her name, it was at once recognized as her work by those who knew her best, for it contained much of the experience of her early married life as the wife of a “cir- cuit rider” in the Southern Metho- dist Church. Her husband, Lundy H. Harris, was generally supposed to be the hero of the story, which was not altogether to the liking of his fellow—churchmen. At the time of its appearance he occupied a high official position in the publishing house of the church, at Nashville, Tenn., where Mrs. Harris now lives. Last September he committed suicide and soon after his death the clerk of the court requested of Mrs. Har- ris an inventory of her husband’s estate. In answer she wrote to the clerk as follows: “It is not with any intention of showing an egregious sentimentality that I say I find it impossible to give you a complete and satisfactory inventory of the es- tate of Lundy H. Harris. The part that I give is so small that it is in- significant and misleading. At the time of his death he had $2.35 in his purse, $116 in the Union Bank and Trust Company of this city, about four hundred books at the cost about eighty-fiVe dollars, the coffin in which he was buried, but major part of his estate was invest— ed in heavenly securities, the value of which have been variously declar— ed in this world and highly taxed by the various churches, but never rea- lizcd. Ile invested every year not less (usually more) than twelve hundred dollars in charity, so secret— ly, so inoffensiver and so honestly that he was never suspected of being a philanthropist and never praised for his generosity. lle pensioned an old, outcast woman in Barton coun- ty, an old soldier in Nashville. He sent two little negro boys to school and supported for five years a fam— ily of five who could not support themselves. He contributed anon— ymously to every charity in Nash- ville: every ‘old maid’ interested in a ‘benevolent obiect’ received his aid; every child he knew exacted and received penny tolls from his tender— ness. He supported the heart of every man who confided in him with encouragement and affection. He literally did forgive his enemies and suffered martyrdom, September 18th, 1910, after enduring three years of persecution without com— plaint. He considered himself one of the chief survivors and was ever recognized as one of the largest bondholders in heaven. You can see how large his estate was and how difficult it would be to compute its value so as to furnish you the inventory your require for entry on your books. I have given you faith— fully such items as have come within my knowledge." READ THIS AND PONDER ' FTER READING the letter head- ed, “Unfaithfulness” I want to say a few Words. First I want to say that I am one of the poor fools who was tempted and went astray and today my home is broken up, our little girl of two (who dearly loved her daddy) is with her mother. I am alone on the farm and heartbroken over the past. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding the downfall of the husband in the re- cent letter but I can relate mine. We were married nearly fifteen years ago. I was a hard—working young man with a wife who dearly loved me. She was a good house— keeper, a slave to cleanliness, so much so that she broke her health and was a semi—invalid for several years. After a few years in the country we decided to go to the city and I curse the day that we did for my work brought me in contact with the kind of women who tempt men. However after a few years I was sick of the way I was doing and moreso when our little girl came. It was with a great deal of per- \ ' Home ' Edited by MRS. GRACE NELLIS JEva suasion that my wife decided to go on the farm with me. I bought far enough from the city where we lived so I knew I would not have a chance to go back if the devil wanted me to. My wife did not sus- pect me, so I felt that we would be happy and we were. Here I want to say that many a time I wanted to' tell her why I wanted to leave the city but knew if I did it would cause trouble so did not do it. But one of the men I worked with who thought he loved her came out to see us real often, and he took it upon himself to tell her of my shortcomings. Of course she became dissatisfied with me and cursed the day she met me. I want to say to the lady who wrote the letter recently published to forgive your husband and forget the past. No doubt he is sincere in his regret of the past. I know I am. I often think of the Bible’s ref- erence to forgiVeness when Christ said, “Unless you forgive your fel- low men who trespass against you your heavenly Father will not for— give you.” We are all weak and li- able to fall when tempted. Let’s think, “It might have been me, or could I have been to blame for the fall of the one I loved?”——Sorry Husband. BETTER MOTHERS HAVE read with interest the let- ters which have been running in the M. B. F. during the last few weeks on “Unfaithfulness,” “The Marriage Triangle,” etc. Since we have the question so nicely solved by one who knows and a single man at that, I suppose it is needless for a mere woman to express her views, nevethclcss, I amigoing to write down an incident which came to my notice a number of years ago where the woman acted so differently from any of the women of whom we have been reading. At the time of my acquaintance with the family, there were the father and mother and three grown boys. The father had been a well educated man of good family, but was morally weak, very selfish; he believed in “personal lib- erty” and practiced it to the down- fall of all others, himself included. And the mother. I shall never forget the first time I saw her—her face was so disfigured that she had to wear a veil when out in public. Her eyes, such beautiful dark, gray eyes, which showed that Within that diseased body was an undaunted spirit that would not give up. In visiting with her I found her very intelligent, well posted in the Ilumph! Job had nothing to try him! Ef he’d been married to Bijah Brown Folks wouldn’t come nigh him. Trials, indeed! Now I’ll tell you what—— if you want to be sick of your life, Jest come and change places with me a spell—for I'm an lnventor’s wife. And sech inventions! I'm never sure, when I take up my coffee pot, That. Bijah hain’t been “improving” it. and it mnynt go off like a shot. \Why, didn't he make me a cradle once, ‘ that would keep itself a-rocking; And didn't it pitch the baby out, and wasn't it’s head bruised shockin'? And there was his “Patent Peeler" too—— a wonderful thing. I’ll say; But it had one fault,—-it never stopped 'till the apple was peeled away, As for locks and clocks, and mowin’ ma.- chines, and reapers, and all sech trash W’hy Bijah’s invented heaps of ’em, but they don't bring in no CASH. Law! that don't worry him—not at all; he's the aggravatin’es man— He’ll set in his little workshop there, and whistle, and think, and plan, Inventin’ a. jew's harp to go by steam, or a new—tangled powder horn, , While the children’s goin’ barefoot to school and the weeds is chokin' our IT'S easy to talk of the patience "of Job, corn. When BiJah and me keep company, he warn’t like this, you know; Our folks all thot be With dreadful smart —but that was years ago. He was handsome‘as any picture then, and he had such a glib, bright way— I never thought that a time would come when I’d rue my weddin' day; But when I’ve been forced to chop the wood, and tend to the farm beside, And look at Bijah”a—settin’ there, I've Jest dropped down and cried. latest books, had firm opinions of her own and a cheerfulness that was contagious; every one felt the uplift of her personality.- Not one word of fault finding or complaint. After a few years they decided to move away. Of course during the time they remained in our neighborhood I had heard the whole family history ——how through lack of self control and selfishness the husband had just dropped so low. I suppose right here the man writer will say his wife *should be well dressed and kept herself more attractive. Many people have found out that it takes more than attrac- tion to make up life. I visited her again before they went away. I don’t know how she happened to talk of herself; but we did have the most heart to heart talk. When she finished talking I said “Don't you feel any resentment for your hus- band and those other women?” She just looked at me with her dear, kind eyes and said, “Resent- ment, child! I have no time for re- sentment or self-pity. You know my boys were born before this trag- edy came into our life. My life and duty is to them, to teach them to have some backbone. I have read the lives of a great number of heroes to them. I see that they have in- struction in the care of the body and sexual knowledge, etc." The care of the future generation is largely entrusted to mothers. Are we doing our duty or are we rearing a weak, spiritless, self—indulging race of men and women?—Mrs. S. M. P. S.~—-In glancing over my let— ter I find many mistakes but have no time to rewrite. Duty is ever present with this mother. I have a big churning and an ironing to do before dinner and at present one lit- tle youngster is rubbing goose—oil on the cat.. There are so many things to do but I find time to read, study and live such a happy, full life. I wish you lots of success. These little talks in the M. B. F. are doing lots of good among the readers. We women must wake up to so many, many things.———Mrs. S. M. “HEART SUFFERER" 0 NOT throw thy life away to Satan because this man has hurt your life. Satan will only laugh at the double victory he has won. .

THOSE REQUESTS FOR “GRIG- GSBY’S STATION" M AN interested reader of M. B. F. and especially of the depart- ment your represent. As you say you are “interested and curious" at the’numerous requests for “Grig- gsby’s Station” by James Whitcomb Riley, I may be able to solve the problem, yet may be misled. A num- ber of the year books for various Woman’s Clubs have a “Riley” pro— gram for one evening. His poems are “homey” and appeal to the home loving people. His verses have sung their way into the hearts of the peo- ple, with love, sympathy and under- standing. Its not the light and faddy poetry or the jazz music or pop- ular dancing that appeals to the clean minded people. “Griggsby’s Station” bears evidence of the type of many our fathers and mothers who spent most of their lives in hon- est labor that they might “lay by" for old age and live in ease and in comfort in their declining years. Even though their dreams were re- alized, memory takes them back.to the long ago, and they live over the days of true and neighborly friend- sh'rps, days when it did not seem a “crime to be honest." Some time ago I enjoyed a Riley and Guest pro- gram with some other readings. It was especially pleasing. One of the numbers was a reading, “The Patch- work Quilt” with musical accom- paniment which was nicely render- ed. - The closing number was a play- ette from “The Circuit Rider‘s Wife” by Cora Harris. I had read it when published in the Saturday Evening Post and I wish everyone might read it. It’s good for the "blues." It can be best appreciated by those like myself who lived in the days of “donations for the min- ister," who preached in one circuit and we all did our “bit” even tho it might not have included the gen- erous supply of home grown tobacco that the minister’s wife accepted so gracefully. ' I am pleased'with the recipes in the household column. Am glad that Mrs. L. M. N. of Kingsley, Mich., has donated the recipe for white cake. I had lost mine that was similar to this.

CEDAR CHEST WILL .PROTEC’I‘ WOOL CLOTHING FROM MOTHS HESTS MADE of red cedar heartwood are effective, if in good condition and thoroughly tight, in protecting clothing from clothes moths, it has been found by of Agriculture. That is, provided prop- er precautions are taken first to beat, brush and, if possible, sun all ‘ articles before they are placed in chests. , Since it is the odor of red cedar that kills young moth worms spec- ial care should be taken to prevent undue escape of the aroma from the chests. Chests at all times should remain tightly closed except when clothing is being removed or placed in them, and this procedure should be accomplished quickly. Clothes moths during their growth pass through different stages known as the adult or ,moth miller, . the worm or larva; and the pupa stages. It is only the larva or worm that damages fabrics. The moth miller merely lays the eggs from which the worms hatch. Cedar chests do not kill the moth miller, its eggs or pu- pae. -Neither do they kill the larvae or worms after they have become one-half to full grown. Cedar chests it has been found, do kill young worms. Practically all moth worms hatching Within the chests die With— in one or two weeks after hatching and a surprisingly largeenumbe; die within two to three days. Of the ' worms hatching within cedar chests from the 2,074 eggs recorded in ex- perimental work, none were found alive one month from the date the eggs were placed in the chests.

I TO 0 A DOF 0 (Compiled from U. S. Government statistics) Look at this diagram! It shows just how profitable the production of butter or butter-fat has been since 1914, and that it pays just as big today as ever. The top line of the black area shows the price of butter, while the bottom line shows the cost of feed required to produce a pound of butter. The thickness of the black area then shows the spread between cost of feed and price of butter—or the net profit. example, near the end of 1921, feed to produce a pound of butter cost 16.9 cents; butter sold for 45.7, leaving a difference of 28.8 cents per pound, or 170% profit.

I am going to tell you about the Boy Scouts and their work. in another is- sue. Did you ever hear Of a cat that was worth $300 a year to anyone? A man living in Texas has. one he calls “Tom” and he declares this cat is worth that much to him. The man keeps a restaurant and he says that before he got Tom he lost not less than $200 a year through rats, mice and cockroaches. In addition to this he spent $100 a year for rat traps, roach powder, etc. uHe se- cured Tom 9 years. ago and he de- clares since that time there has not been a rat, mouse or cockroach in the restaurant; At this rate Tom has been worth $2,700 to his owner already. This remarkable cat is a cross. between a house cat and a wild cat and the owner would not accept and Offer of $1,000! for Tom; in fact, Tom is not. for. sale at any price. Tom is. very sociable and all of the patrons Of the restaurant are his, friends. Nearly all of» us have one or two cats, and, although they may not be worth as, much as Tom, they are worth considerable when we stop and think Of what good they do. We should feed them well and take good care of them. Don’t you think so? You will notice that many of the letters I am printing this week con- tain mentions of Christmas coming and wishes of a “Merry Christmas.” It may seem strange to you to see such things in print at this time but you must remember that all but a. few of these letters were received before Christmas and if I left that part of the letters out it would spoil the letters.——~UNCLE NED.

The last sentence in the letter as printed in your paper states: “They gave me to understand there was nothing to it, that I would have to get a. local veterinarian to take care of same, and he wants $21 a head for from one to ten head." ‘ , The letter received by me states “$21 a herd for from one to ten head.” I have no objection to offer to my reply as printed; but in view of the very high price for testing indicated by the last sentence of the letter as printed, my statement to the effect the price mentioned for a subcutan— eous test is not unreasonable seems rather ridiclous. -I am not avail in favor of charging for" this kind of work .by the head. I do' not believe a charge of that kind can be. made that will be fair to both the owner and the operator. A » However, I shall state a. charge of from $20 to $25 for a herd of from twenty or twenty—five head of cat- tle is reasonable—SJ. Killham, Chief veterinarian.

TUBERCULIN TESTING Why is it that the government only tests pure—bred cattle? I understand’ they will not test gradeS-—A« M., Yp- silanti. Mich, The laWS do not shut out the 0m- ers of grade cattle in the areas in» which co—operative tuberculin test- ing is not being conducted. The only tuberculin testing being conducted‘ by the state and federal bureaus out- side of the areas in which co-opera- tive campaigns are being conducted Is that upon herds in the process of accreditation. It was agreed at the outset of the work that the herds to be accredited should be pure bred herds. It was realized that the ser- vice could not be extended to any great number of herds at the best and and that if any herds were favored, it should be the pure bred herds, which are the foundation of the cat- tle industry. By pure—bred herds we do not mean of the herd must be 100‘per cent pure bred. In this state- it was agreed that a herd containing approximately 50 per cent or more pure—breds should be classed as a. pure—bred herd. A few herds have been taken in under this plan, which contain less than 50 per cent purer breds, it being believed that the ownl er was building a pure bred herd; although he did not have the requir— ed number of pure-breds at the time'- the work was started, he‘sqon would have.——B.

MUSKEGON DAIRYMEN WILL’ MARKET FLUID MILK (Continued from page 5) The feeling of the board me era as- to their job was well expressed by the president, Mr. Pierson, when he said to'the members at the last meeting, “When you elected us and told us to go ahead with the job of putting up the best plant in Mus- kegon, you gave us a real respon- sibility, and we have felt the burden of it. Now the building is ready for the equipment, and soon we shall be- gin distributing milk. We directors will go on, feelinguthat We have 'a great responsibility in seeing that things go right, but we want every member back of us in this business." The services of Mr. George Niel- son as manager have been secured. He is a man of experience in com- mercial dairy work, and comes from a similar position with the Muske- gon Height’s Co—operative Dairy.

A. V., Morgan, Mich, - The number of geese that are or- dinarily mated with one gander de- pend primarily upon the purpose or the mating. If the mating was in- tended to perpetuate certain desir- able characteristics of an individu- al we would resort to the single mat— ing of one goose with one gander. It would be necessary to keep the birds confined in a yard until it was cer- tain that the pair had mated. For ordinary market purposes, it the females and males run‘ together in large flocks, one gander to three or four geese is usually maintained. Higher fertility and stronger hatch- ing ability of the eggs is usually se— cured where the stock has access to swimming pools. Opinion seems to differ relative to the number of ducks that should be mated with one drake. If the ducks have a scanty supply of water, high- es fertility is usually obtained by using three ducks with one drake. If there is an ample supply of wa- ter for swimming purposes, then the ratio can be increased so that the mating will consist of one drake to five ducks. E. C.

The great grass country of the west and southwest is practically bare of cattle and without them its inhabitants cannot thrive; this vast region must be restocked and only a fool would have the nerve to pre— dict that this great work of rehabil- itation will be carried forward with scrub cattle. The modern cattle- raiser has learned that there is no economy in raising: a scrub steer and the pedigreed herds of beef cat— tlo, in this country and in Canada, will be taxed to their full capacity as the re-stocking process goes for— ward.

AN D ~ HE'NEW year-opens with an en:- 1% m couragingz outlook, for, general busineSs. undertakings- and. the opinion. seems. to prevail, that 1922 will .bea banner year from, the stands point. of.- business done. The, retail store trade of the lastmonthjnthe year, has. been emminently. satisfactg ory but other branches. of, the-mer- cantile business. finished rather close to the bottom. Men of experience and good judgment think they see a rift in the financial clouds that means for much better business. The demand for pig iron is in- creasing, rapidly and sales of this commodity are coming to be of an every day occurrence. Structural steel is quiet with production run- ning on little more than a 30 per cent basis; the existing stagnation, in connection with manufactured steel, is said to be the result of a desire on the part of buyers to delay making further commitments until after the beginning of the new year. One of the conditions which are de- pended on to give an impetus to the steel and iron business, when once the manufaacturing of the new year gets under way, is the low prices which prevail in both these lines. Men of foresight try to purchase material for construction purposes on the lowest possible basis and it is believed that the first advance in prices will be the signal for everyone who is need of steel or iron to come into the market, an action if it should I become universal, would. send the market upward at a much higher rate of speed than that which has ruled in the decline. Probably the most serious condi- tion, which the country must face at the beginning, of the new year, is the deplorable plight in which the farmer finds himself; with ashrink- age in the value of many of his pro- ducts equnl to 50 per cent he‘ is without money or credit with which .to finance his future agricultural and breeding operations. The silver lin- ing to this cloud is seen in the fact that the public at large begins to appreciate the situation and a move- ment is on foot which has for its object: the organization of a corpora- tion which will furnish financial aid to every t‘nrmcr'in the union that is need of it. The business of the country is rapidly finding out that when the farmer goes broke the whole country goes broke with him‘. The calling of a great conference in the near future by the presidenf for the purpose of devising some ade- quate means for relief to the farmer is one of the encouraging signs of the times. ‘ - That great barometer of business, the New York Stock Exchange, seems to be handing out some advance tips in the way of improved values for all’the specialties traded, in on that market. It would seem that the pub- lic-considers the presentmoment an advantageous time to purchase. in- dustrials, .rails, equipments and all other dividend-paying stocks.

Contrary to our predictionswheat gained considerable strength the last week in December but lost it-all the opening trading day of the new year. . The market recovered slightly at the close of the trading Tuesday, but there was a lack of confidence which did not augur well for higher prices. Our exportable surplus of wheat has been sold and if the Chi- cago gamblers can get their finan- cial affairs in shape. we may have hopes of higher prices.

Dunin‘g the week. be- fore Christmas the market was very active and strong. Receipts were large, amounting to 2.982 cars for the week, against 1,067 a year ago. Export demand was good. But last Week there was a letting up all along the line; receipts decreased, demand, bothvdomestic and foreign, was smaller. and the market was easy. The final government crop re- port showing over 70,000,000 bush- els less than was estimated on Nov- ember 1st had little effect on the market as nearly all looked for this reduction and many believed the loss would be greater. The failure of a. large commission house did not cause the‘ market to fluctuate as many thought because the greater part of its holdings were taken over by other firms and only a small portion of the grain appeared on the market. While foreigners were in the market every day last week their bids were mostly under pre- vailing prices and they took little grain. New corn declined 1c at De- troit last week but old corn remain- ed at the level established the week before. OATS. .
