THE LAST REMAINING m

TIMBER LANDS 1N DANGER
By P. L, Buttrick,
Forestry Department, Michigm Agricul-
tural College.
1905 CONGRESS took from the
hands of the Department of the
Interior the management of the
National Forests and placed them in
the hands of the Department of Ag-
riculture. It did so for the protec—
tion of some 150,000,000 acres 01
public timber land, this being almost
the last public owned timber land
in the country. The ”public owner-
ship of this land is essential for the
protection of the agricultural inter-
eSts in the regions where the for-
ests occur, as well as for the perpen-
nation of our timber supply since
they furnish water for irrigation and
prbtect the farm lands-from land-
slides.

marketed at reasonable prices and"

thus serve to check the unreason-
able prices which private owners will
ask. '

The transter from the Interior to
the Agricultural Departhrent was
made necessary by the
and corrupt management of the In-
terior Department, which permitted
the lumber interests to exploit the
forests without relation to the pub-
lic welfare. Under the management
of the Agricultural Department the
handling ot the forests has been
honest and progressive. For years

the interests opposed to the forests 1

have attacked them but now they
are too well intrenched in popular
approval to fear a direct attack. So
the plan of transfering them back to
the Interior Department with its
political. reactionary and capitalis-
tic viewpoint, under the guise of
needed administrative reorganisa-
~tio11, has been hit upon. Such a
change would pays the way for just

Why Are the Most Successful
Farmers Using International
Harvester Equipment?

MORE than 100,0Wiamers who have decided in
favor of International Harvester tractors have
been guided by the same impulses.

They knew that, because of its 90-year contact with
farm; problems, the International Harvester Company
was in better position than any other company to design
and build long-lived, practical farm tractors. '

They knew that in‘ the International Harvester line they
could find both tractors and machines which were designed
to work together as field units.

They were abeoMely am that the most practical and
helpful service would be quickly and may and forever
available to them. Many years' exponence with the Inter-
national Hamster Company had convinced them that no-
where else could they find a line of power farming equipment
so closely backed by satisfactory service.

They knew that these factors would. guarantee their.
investments for years of usefulness. Year after year the

State Banking Dept.

ASsures Farmers’ Credit A1

Banking Commissioner McPherson and Governor Groesbeck Pledge Assistance in Present Emergency

REQUENT attention has been called in these
columns to the fact that while the .War
Finance Corporation has loaned millions of dol—
hrs in every important state west of the Mis-
sissippi, not a single dollar has found its way into
Michigan. For some weeks the Business Farmer
has been engaged in an investigation of the rea—
sons for this situation. This investigation has"
led to a limited survey of local credit conditions,
to interviews with representatives of implement
manufacturers, to sessions of the war loan
agency for Michigan, and finally to the State
Banking. Department, at Lansing.

Facts established by the investigation show:

1. That Michigan as a whéle does not need
the money of the War Finance Corporation as
badly as other agricultural states. In the south,
western and lower eastern portions of the states

0st banks are having little difficulty in taking
care of the farmer’s needs at the legal rate of
interest.

2. That in the north central, northwestern,
northeastern, and extreme northern sections of
the state, as well as in the more northerly sec-
tions of the Thumb districts there are localities
Where farmers are being pressed for payment of
their loans, upon various pre'texts ranging from
the alleged scarcity of money to insufficiency of
security. Moreover, in these same sections
thousands of farmers are being charged the
quivalent of 12 per cent or more on loans of $100
and upwards. \

3. That many bankers are not familiar with
the War Finance Corporation, or else for reasons
which can only be surmised, do not want to
avail themselves of its funds.

4. That the war loan agency is not particul-
arly keen ‘on “selling” country bankers on the
idea of going to the corporation for funds. It
believes that having acquainted the bankers of
the state with the provisions of the law, it has
done its_duty. Perhaps it has. "

5. That the State Banking Department dis-
courages country banks from borrowing from
this corporation 'to re—lend to farmers.

In justice to Mr. Hugh McPherson, the bank-
ing commissioner, an explanation of his attitude.
is in order.

The country is passing through a severe
crisis. Many banking institutions in other
states have over—extended their loans and failed.
There has not been a single bank failure in Michi-
gan, because our bankers have been cautious.
Many of them are loaned to the limit, and the

GIVE THE nnernss FARMER THE
FOLLOWING FACTS:

1. Name and address of bank with
which you do business.
2. Length of time you have
the community.
3. Past relations with banker (friend-
ly or unfriendly).
4. Present obligations, and

5. Present needs. State if bank is

Are you in need of. additional funds? For
what. purpose? Has your banker refused
to accomodate you, and why? \tht sc-

you think you can pay your loan?
6. \Vhat interest is charged on sums
of $100 or more for ninety days and
more?* Is this the prevailing rate of in-
terest charged to farmers in your locality?
'Note: It is rcooznized legitimate practice for a bank
to charge more than 7 per cent on small loans running
up to a hundred dollars perhaps for short periods of

tween the two cases.

state banking department cannot pursue a
policy of encouraging loaning at this time. Mr.
McPherson believes that to approve of Michigan
banks going to the War Finance Corporation
might be construedas permission to resume
loaning upon an extravagant and dangerous
scale.

,Banks must endorse all notes which they re-
discount through the War Finance Corporation.
Technically then every bank which borrows from
the War Finance Corporation cincreases its lia—
bilities by the amount it borrows. That as the
position which Mr. McPherson takes, and per—
haps rightly. The Business Farmer holds, how—
ever, that actually and practically the bank does
The security offered
by the farmer must be adequate, so that no mat—
ter who finally holds the note he is amply pro-
tected. The only risk which the bank takes is
being called upon by the corporation to pay the
note before the farmer is able to take it up. It

»terest for large and long-time loans.

is, however, quite unthinkable, and the banking '

commissioner and members of the war loan
agency so admit, that the War Finance Corpora-
tion, being a subsidized branch of the United
States government should pursue any policy
which would jepardize the country banks. The
law provides for the liquidation of all loans with-
in three years from date made, but it is gener-
ally believed that this time limit will be extended
from time to time to accomodate the banks and
their farmer patrons. V

Banking Commissioner McPherson is- him—
self a farmer and comes from a line of farmers.
He assures the Business Farmer and the Busi-
ness Farmer believes him, that he does not want
to see any pressure brought to bear upon farm—
ers at this time to pay their loans it they are 11n-
able to do so. He belicVes that the banks of the
state are able to extend farmer paper without as-
sistance from the War Finance Corporation. But
if not his department wishes to know about it
and will act accordingly.

\VHAT FAPDIERS SHOULD DO

So the situation as it stands today is this: No
farmer who must have money for actual farming
purposes, and can offer adequate security, need
be denied. No farmer whose security is adequate
need be pressed for payment of
not convenient for him to pay t em now. No
farmer need pay more than the legal rate of in—
It may
take a little time to actually bring about this
condition, but this is the policy of the banking
department and will be put into effect as soon
as possible.

The Business Farmer does not believe that it
is good business for the farmer to borrow now to
buy high~priccd luxuries or make investments
outside of his farming business. But it does be—
lieve that he should be given every reasonable
chance to continue his farming operations with
the least possible loss and sacrifice of crops. And
the Business Farmer 11d its best efforts to
assisting farmers in nee money to secure that

money through the regular banking channels at
fair rates of interest. 'l‘hcrcforo, every farmer
who is having any difficulty securing needed

loans, or extending loans already made, at mod-
erate interest rates, is urgently requested to re-
port the full facts in his case to the editor of the
Business Farmer.

interests Of Michigan Beet Growers Involved in Tariff Fight

HE WELL—KNOWN Dick Fletcher is great-
ly worried over what may happen to Michi-
gan sugar beet growers providing the present
congress does not see fit. to give. the beet sugar
industry the protection which it needs from
cheap Cuban cane. In a letter to Sen. Townsend
he nearly weeps over the plight in which he al-
leges. the farmers Will~find themselves if Michi-
gan-«sugar'factories are put out of business by
cheap foreign competition. “For," says Dick,
“the beet farmer has an assured market for his
crop in the fall, at a guaranteed price that yields
a teir profit, and he is paid in cash. The sugar
companies finance the farmer all throughathe
crop raising season‘tor his seed and labor.”

We have a “sneaking suspicion” that Dick is
talking once for the farmer and twice for the
manufacturers as is usually'the case when those
known to sympathize with the upper dog begin
to plead for the under-dog. However,, it is not

er ’s motives or to make light of the danger which

BEET GROWERS TO MEET

HST AS we go to press announcement is
received from Mr. R. P. ‘Rcavey,
sec'y-treas., .of the Michigan Sugar

Beet Growers’ Ass’n., that there will be an

. important meeting of beet growers at the
Saginaw Armory, Monday, Jan. (1, at
l :30 P. M., when a number of agricultural
leaders. in this and other states. will be
present to discuss the problems before the
industry. Every farmer and beet grower
is urged to attend this meeting.

 

 

tection is not given from Cuban competition the
property cannot be sold‘for enough money to
Of course,
that. means that the farmer can grow no more
beets, but if he must grow beets at $3, $4 or even
$5 per ton, which is the present prospect, it will
be perhaps just as well that he turns to other
crops. No one interested in Michigan agricul-
ture or industry wants to see this happen. They
want to see the farmer continue to grow beets
if he can get a fair price for them, and they
Want to see the factories continue to prosper if
they will pay the farmers a fair share of their
profits. But it must be cenceded that the im—
pending calamity would hit the factories worse

   

The manufacturers of the state have been in-

vited, cajoled and threatened into meeting with
D

farmer representatives for the purpose of ne-
gotiating the prices and conditions of sugar beet
contracts. But fortified as they thought by a
never ending demand for their product, and hav- '
ing confidence in their ability, to continue for—
ever to secure their acreage from the individual
and unorganized farmer, they spurned all ad-
vunces, heed their own row, and are gamely
trying to take their medicine. Had the sugar
companies established a precedent several years
back when prices were high of dealing friendly
and openly with the organized producers, they
would not have to eat crow now. They insisted
on going it alone when prices were high. So ’
why not let them continue the practice now that
prices are low.

Fluid Milk, Cheese and Butter Prices all Suffer from Excess of Supply over Demand "

E NAMED last week certain primary causes

for low dairy prices, as follows: Public
opinion, over-production, loss of foreign markets,
competition of foreign dairy products, profiteer-
ing resulting from present marketing system,
and seasonable surplus. We discussed in detail
the precise effects which the first four of the
above factors have had upon dairy prices.

TOO GREAT A SPREAD

A review of the dairy situation is not cem-
plete without some reference to the present
system of marketing. That it costs too much
to get milk and its products from the cow to the
consumer is a fact admitted by nearly all, includ-
ing many who are partially responsible for the
large cost. This spread varies considerably in
different sections depending upon the extent of
the competition. It is least where strong farm-
ers’ organizations hold sway and own a part of
the machinery of distribution.- It is greater
where the farmers are unorganized or where
farm organizations seek to influence marketing
practices and cost without effective means for
so doing.

Speaking before a group of producers not so
very long ago, W. J. Igennedy, the big man in
the Detroit milk distributing business, said:

“We know it costs too much to distribute milk.
We don’t like it any better than you do to have
to compete with 40 or 50 other companies and
make the same rounds as they do. But what are
we going to do about it. If we keep the busi-
ness we’ve got to sell milk to all who come. It
is costly, I'll admit, for a score or more milk
routes of as many differentcompanies crossing
and re—crossing each other. ”

It cannot be denied that had the producers
of milk securfid strong control of the marketing
end in the early days of their industry they
never would have permitted such a situation to
develop as is apparent in every large city where
it costs two to three times as much to deliver
milk as it does to produce it. But having con-
tributed through negligence to this condition, it
is foolish to argue that there is no remedy and
that it should be allowed to go from bad to worse.

FUTURE UNCERTAIN

There are some milk producers’ association-s
which are fully aware of the insecure situation
in which the dairyman finds himself as a result
of the dominating position held by the manu-
facturer and distri Pr of of_ this fact is
offered in awarning M‘lii’A. H. Dexter vice—
president of the Twin City Milk Producers’
Ass’n., sounded at the annual meeting. Mr.
Dexter said:

“Our secretary’s report stated that our new
contracts with the distributors provide that
either we or they can cancel our contracts by
giving thirty days’ notice. Our relations with
the distributors are more friendly than they have
been at any time during our history and we
sincerely hope and expect this to continue. Hew—
ever, there is always a possibility that we shall
not be able to agree on prices and selling con-
ditions, and in order to be prepared for any such
emergencies, such a possibility must be consid—
ered. In case any group of large distributors
should decide to cancel their contracts by giving
us thirty days’ notice, there is no question but
that they can secure all the milk necessary to
continue their business without buying from our
association, as we realize fully that our mem-

 

 

OUR DAIRY SURVEY

ROM every section of the United States
the M. B. F. is receiving information
about the progressive steps which

milk producers’ associations are taking to.
overcome the obstacles in their business.
It reveals a decided tendency to enter
the marketing end of the business and
millions are being spent in the purchase
and erection of plants for the utilization
of milk in various forms. ”The complete
results of this survey will be published in'
an early issue.—Editor.

 

 

\ .
here do not produce but a small part of the-milk
tributary to these cities.

“If the distributors should cancel their con-
tracts, the only way that we could continue to
sell milk on this market, would be to sell it direct
to the consumer. In order to do this, we would
have to take over several .of the large distribu-
tors’ plants, or build similar plants of our own.
The very least which we Would have to do in
such a case would be to raise our capital stock
to $1,000,000, and our limit of indebtedness to
the same amount. I believe that it would be
good insurance for us to be * * * prepared ‘ "‘ so
that if such an emergency should arise we could
act quickly * * * and immediately take over the
necessary plants and equipment. The fact that
we are prepared to do this may prevent this
emergency arising”.

A far—seeing man, moved to speak his convic—
tions by precisely the very same conditions
which exist in the dairy sections of Michigan and

/which may result at any time in just such an

emergency as the Twin City producers are urged
to prepare against. But what are the organized
farmers of Michigan doing to meet a situation
which is bound todevelop sooner or later as
surely as night follows day? .

A questionnaire which'the Business Farmer
has sent out to all milk producers' associations
in the United States is bringing in a good deal
of valuable information along this line. The
most striking thing abOut these questionnaires

is that in nearly all cases they show the price,
to the farmer to' be the lowest in sections where ’

farm organizations own no distributing or‘sur-
plus plants and highest in sections where they
do. In many localities farm organizations rest
content with merely negotiating with distribu-
tors as formerly in the Detroit area, and in such'
cases the price to the farmer is generally low
and the spread between his price and the con-
sumer’s price generally high, showing that there
is a fundamentalerror in attempting to adjudi—
cate prices based on cost of production where
there are no effective means for enforcing them.

How‘ dai‘rymen can hope to secure adequate
prices for their product when the determination
of those prices is entirely within the hands of
corporate bodies whose selfish interests improve
as the price of milk goes down, is something
which this publication cannot understand. Many
farm organizations have recognized long'ago the
futility and absurdity of trying to “arbitrate"
prices with distributors and manufacturers, and
have given up in disgust and gone into the busi-

ness themselves. The dairyman can never hope

to insure for himself a profitable price until he
is in a position to say something about the
marketing and the final selling price of his pro-
fitable pricemntil he is in 'a position to say some-
thing about the marketing and the final selling
price of his product.

THE SURPLUS PUZZLE.
In our preceding article we discussed the
causes for year-to-year fluctuations in the‘de-

mand and supply of milk products. But the fac-
tor or factors which cause seasonal surplusages

have fully as great an influence upon prices. And '

the practice of turning this surplus oyer to the
retail distributor to do with it as he pleases only
complicates the problem. Whether or not the

’purchaser of this surplus turns it to a profit or

he uses it as a perpetual excuse for keeping
down prices to the producer. .

Due to a perfectly logical system of breeding
we have seasons of large surplusages and sea.-
sons of shortage. How to induce enough milk
producers to change their breeding [stems in
order to distribute the flow of milk moreevenly
throughout the year has been avmatiter'to which
many of the best minds of the industry have
given considerable thought. As a rule the sug-
gestion is not taken seriously by the 'producer‘s
themselves. The Twin City Milk Producers’ As-
sociation, of Minnesota, is taking the ‘ matter
seriously, however, and has annOunced a plan
to encourage the farmer to breed fora more
uniform milk flow. The plan is briefly“ as .fol-
lows, as described ina recent issue of the official
bulletin of the organization:

”The months of September, October‘and No-
vember will be taken as a base, and each member
will be allowed the average amount of milk pro-
duced in these months, and 20 per cent "more.”
and for all over this amount he shall be paid
a surplus-price to be determined by. the board
of directors, depending upon the actual surplus."

“In other words, the above months being the

months of normally lowest production and highs.

est prices, “the member who predupes a fairly
uniform amount of milk the year around is gee
ing to receive more for it than the one who pro-

duces five or six times as much in, June as in

September, October and November.’
Further upon the subject, the official bulletin
says: .

“Right now is the time to plan to increase
your production next fall: Of course, we do not

~ expect to get all our- milk changed over, so that

We get more in these months than in other
months of the year, and it is practically im-
possible to do this. Arrange to have just as
many as possible of your cows freshen early
next fall. 'Prices at this season of the year are
always high, and there is every indication that
for several years- they will be extremely .low
during the summer season.’

.Would it be,out of order to suggest that the

milk producers’~ association of this state take this ,

surplus matter under serious advisement? Milk

.prices look low now, but what will they be when

May and June roll around? We may yet see
milk selling for a cent a quart in parts of Michi-
gan before another year If we do it will be very
largely the result of a surplus which ought never
to have been produced, but having been produced
is permitted to. enter the channels of trade and
dem‘oralize markets and prices. '

Dates for Farmers’ Big Annual “ Get Together” are Drawing Near

ECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS of the speakers
who will appear on the annual Farmers’
Week program at M. A. 0. give added assurance
of one of the best series of meetings of this kind
ever held in the middle west. G. C. Creelman
has assured the committee in charge that he will
be in East Lansing and will speak at one of the
meetings. Mr. Creelman was formerly president
of the Ontario Agricultural College and for the
past few months has been in England serving
on an important agricultural commission. He
will be able to give the guests at Farmers’ Week
a good idea of the condition of agriculture in
Europe. '
The American Farm Bureau Federation will

also be well represented ,on the program. Presi--

dent J. R. Howard and Director of Livestock H.
W. Mumford, will have prominent places on the
program. The annual meeting of the State

t Farming Enterprise

Prairie F arm in Saginaw County one of the Largest Producers of Pedigreed Stock and Seeds in the World

and, before he returned, pur-
chased twenty pure-bred Bel-

 

ed in Michigan, one of the most
important agricultural . enter—
prises in the world. Down in
Saginaw county, south and west
of the city of Saginaw and near
the junction of the Shiawassee
and the Flint rivers, is located
the largest farm in’ Michigan;
the tract includes nearly 10,000
aeres of very rich, alluvial soil,
surrounded by 'dikes which
range from seven to ten feet in
.height. On the inside and at
the foot of the dikes are drain-
age canals, ranging from 30 to
50 feet wide, which were made
when the dikes were built.
Thru these dikes, at regular in—
tervals, are sewerv-pipe sluices,
the Outside ends of which are
kept closed whenever there is danger of the
water rising on the outside of the dikes. In
the season of high water, pumps are working
night and day keeping canal levels down.

This tract of land is called the “Prairie Farm”
and is owned and operated by the Owosso Sugar
Co., which has sugar factories at Owosso and
Lansing. Upon this farm are produced Royal
Belgian draft horses, pure—bred Hereford cattle,
pure-bred Duroc hogs, black top merino sheep
and selected farm seeds. The manager and
chief moving spirit in this important enterprise
is Jacob DeGeus.-

Upon the Prairie farm has been constructed
a large number of convenient farm buildings,
the accompanying illustration showing a group
of horse barns. A large number of residence
and cottages, a store building in which is lo—
cated a postoflice, a farm office building, a club-
’house, a building in which is operated a motion

tool—houses and garages, a building in which is
located an electric lighting plant and a pumping
station, a two—room school house and other
buildings too numerous to mention; this grow-
ing young town is called Alicia.

The population of Alicia is migratory, coming
and going according to the needs of the farm
work. The largest number of men ever 011 the
company’s pay—roll being 366; when the writer
was on the farm, the other day 82 men were
011 the roll. There are 65 pupils in the school.
Mr. and Mrs DeGeus have seven children, five
boys and two girls. Two of the sons assist their
father in the management of the farm. While
the principal crop raised 011 the farm is sugar
beets, crops of corn, oats, barley and hay are

also grown. The number of acres devoted to
sugar beets, varies greatly with the seasons,
the largest crop ever raised being 1,200
acres.

Early in 1919, Mr. DeGeus» visited Belgium

and Their Foals on Prairie Fin-r111

gian mares and a pure-bred
stallion. Colts have been raised
from all of the available females
each year; since the beginning
of the enterprise, 26 pure-bred
horses have been sold and there
are now on the farm 82 head of
pure—breds. On the occasion of
a recent visit to this Prairie
Farm, the writer saw some of
the best draft horses that he has
ever seen; in the pedigrees
which tell the story of their
wonderful ancestry, appear the
names of the famous horses,
Reve de’Or, Indigene du F0s~
teau and Erin de’Or. Prairie
Farm horses have won cham—
pionships, reserve champion-
ships, junior championships,
ribbons and gold medals galore at the Interna—
tional at Chicago and at the Michigan State
Fair. Upon the farm at the present time are
20 pure-bred young draft teams, all in foal and
iroken ready to work.

Mr. DeGeus is a member of the State Fair
board and one of the largest exhibitors of pure-
bred live stock in the state. The Owosso Sugar
Company’s Belgian horses are one of the fair’s
most interesting attractions. American-bred
horses, from the Prairie Farm. have frequently
gone into the ring and won prizes from import—
cd animals.

It was a cold, disagreeable day, recently, when
the writer of this story visited the Prairie Farm
but all discomfort was forgotten when the en—
thusiastic farm manager began to lead out some
of the splendid samples’ of equine perfection for
which this enterprise is noted. The lover of good
horses, who desires to spend a “perfect day"
should visit Prairie Farm.

Farm Records and Accounts Reveal the Weak Spots in Your Farming»

N AGRICULTURAL extension worker of

Montana one night found himself bunking
with‘a rough and ready cow—puncher, a “true
son of the west.”

“What is your job?” asked the cowboy.

“I am the Farm Management Demonstrator,”
replied the college-trained easterner.

T‘Never mind about your title. I want to know
what your job is,”

“Why, I am here to teach the
ranchmen how to keep accounts.”

“Ug!” grunted the cowboy, “What the hell
good is that going to do the farmers?”

The usefulness of farm accounts 'is hard to
explain to a hot-headed cow—puncher, who be—
grudgingly sees the plains giving way to the corn
fields and long-horned cattle being replaced by
dairy cows and herefords. Nevertheless, in
Michigan more than. five‘thousand progressive
farmers are keeping account books, which are
sold for fifty-cents each by the Michigan Agri—
cultural college, While a few thousand more are
keeping recOrds of one kind or another.

THE AUTO KNITTER

' ESPITE the fact that numerous

time concerning the widely adver-
tised sock knitting machines, such
as the Auto Knitter, we continue to

ture. To all we must say that we
have no personal knowledge of the

majority of opinions as expressed in
these columns by those who have
used these machines seems t be
been unable to receive any satisfac-

that she is able to do what the
makers claim for the machine, but
in the greater majority of cases,
purchasers of theso machines haVe
met with indifferent success. Wheth-
er the varying results are due to
variations in the machines or to the
skill or the operators we cannot say.
All we can say is that'some succeed

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS

8 a reader of the Business

Farmer, I would like to so! a

few words in regard to a little
story in your issue at Dec. 3, by the
honorable taxpayer of Genesel»
county, who is a little” backward
about giving his name.

I live in a eonsolldateo scum dio-

our school was consolidated my two
sisters and I were compelled to walk
a mile and a half to school through
mud and snow.

Probably most people sometime in
their lives have picked out a nice
red apple to eat which had a worm
hole in it, but bycutting out that
small. defect that apple was a. nice
treat to .anyone. Well that is‘the
way with the outside fellows look-
ing at the consolidated school sys-
tem. They see that small defect but
fail to look into the improved op-
.portunities that the new system is
giving to the boys and girls of the
country

The gentleman asks, “Where are
the young men who go to college?”
Would he have them back on the
farm after completing their profes-
sional course and being able to go
out and make their own mark in
the world? How many farmers to-
day are in a‘financial position to
set their sons up
farms of their own after complet-
ing their common school education?
I want to say that the consolidated
school system prepares the boys and
girls to take a much shorter course
to complete their work at college.

I believe the gentleman has the
Gaines and Swartz Creek school tax
rate a little bit high. The present
tax rate of Gaines school district
is higher than the average for the
reason that they have improved their
school building, Ipurchased addition-
al school property and are paying
on an old debt of several thousand
dollars. If the gentleman will look
at his tax receipts he will find. that
all improvementshave cost consid-
erable more money compared with
improvements five or even two years
ago. I believe that he who shouts
most pays the 1east.-—Evelyn Coon-
ey, Genesee County, Mich.

The above is one of scores of letters
received the last couple of weeks on the
consolidated school question. Some of
them have been in favor of consolida—
tion but most of ’em ag’in it. As time
and space permits other letters upon the
subject will be published. preference be-

SURPLUS PRODUCTS

that foolish fertilizer dope. Who
pays harvesting bills for grain

calm county? Certainly not the
highly protected manufacturer who
soaked ’em $300 for their last bind-
ers. Instead of this “100 per cent

’ HE INDICATIONS are
l will be a large p
grape vines this year. In the
Michigan grape district the vineyard
area will be considerably enlarged,
but more significant is the quantity
of nursery stock grown for the de-
mand in other‘localities. It seems
as though $10 a ton for grapes has
made people crazy. “
There is no need to say that go
slow” is good advice just now. Who
will heed? Not those who should.

The wise ones shake their heads. '.

Very well for those who are able
to take the chances, but those who
are planting a vineyard to\pay off
the mortgage had best think twice.I
The demand for the fruit has
greatly increased during the past
two years, but will it keep up with
the production three years hence,

when these new vines come into
training? That is something to
think about.

in the

Michigan takes the lead
production of small fruits, but even
at that there is not enough to sup-
ply the demand. Strawberries, rasp-
berries, blackberries, grapes. Those
who recall the difiiculty to get them
last summer need not be told that
there was a shortage. It was not
altogether the unfavorable season
that was to blame. A full crop
would not have sufl‘lced. Now while
so many are planning to set out
grapes, would it not be wise to give
more attention to the other small
fruits? The automobile has revolu-
tionized the marketing of such pro-
ducts. Fifty miles are as nothing
for the city man with an auto, when.
the roads are good. But the drive
makes him. hungry. It makes the
family hungry. The whole load,
Rom the grandmother to the baby,
is ready to gobble anything edible
in the shape of fruit. Set out a
bushel of strawberries along one of
the leading highways and see how
long it will remainl So, it goes from
Spring 'till fall. Many ’in the cities
now get a large portion of their
fruit direct from the producers and

' the number is on the increase. So
they are solving the problem of the
middleman to the profit and satis—
faction of both producer and con-
sumer. . ._ '

Why are there so few currents
groWn? There is no serious diffi-
culty in growing them. They are
easily cultivated and the current
worm, the most bothersome enemy,
can be controlled by a. little spray-
ing. Currants are productiveand are
nearly always in demand. The
bushes soon come to a bearing age
and with cultivation should be good
for many years". The fruit is not
in favor for dessert on account of
the acid, but what is better for
jelly, except, perhaps the crab apple?
Then, too, it puts an edge on milder
fruits when mixed with them for
pies. ”Where can I get currents?”
How many times the question was
asked last summer. How often the
answer was, “I don't know.” Those
who are planning to grow fruit
might well consider the currant.~

There are not many varieties of
the Currant. The large red kinds
are most in .demand, though some
of thehsmaller varieties are the best
in flavor. White currants are mild-
er than red. When the two are
mixed they make a. pretty table dish.
The old red Dutch is small, but very
productive and has no superior for
Jelly. It’s size is against it for
market, but those who know what
good fruit is, do not refuse the red
Dutch. For the home garden the
Dutch, both. red and white, have
many friends, since their quality
comes before size.

 

ANSWER-S TO CORRESPONDENTS

Can the Business Farmer tell us what
to do with our plum trees? They blos-
som full enough, but when the. fruit l's

The result is few plums or “none at all,—
R, P. F.. Redford, Mich.

why [fruit _. drops,» pre- ..

maturelyfis weak or imperfect polli-
nation. .' Some of the American vari-
eties are poor self-poliinizers, while
the Japs are mostly self-sterile. The
Burbank is the Japanese variety
that has been most extensively plant-V
ed’ of any during recent years, and
has probably been the cause 015
more disappointment than have all
other kinds added together. It
should be planted with some other
variety near it,,the abundance is
good for the purpose, but any kind
that blossoms with it will do. Per-
haps some branches of wild plums,
stood in a barrel of water near the
trees when in blossom, will serve
the purpose.

Lack of fertility might be a rea-
son for the failure in the crop, but
in that case there would probably
be few blossoms. An abundance of
bloom would indicate that the trees
were not starving.

While the soil may be fertile the
available food may not be well bal—
anced. Too much nitrogen would
cause a growth of top at the expense
of fruit. Horse manure'alone may
injure plums and peaches.
manure is strong in nitrogen, but it
is balanced with potash, so is excel—
lent for plums. , .

Possibly there are not bees
enough to work on the blossoms, in
which case the pollination might be
weak or imperfect. In many locali-
ties bees have become scarce and
fruit trees suffered in consequence.

Is the ground where the trees
stand lewer than the surrounding
area, so as to form a little pocket?
In that case the late spring frosts
may have done the mischief, when
trees near by ‘on higher land have
escaped.

The c'urculio can be trusted to do
its share of mischief, but its Work
is more in evidence later in the sea-
son. This insect is out early and
at first eats the leaves. Spraying
with arsenate of lead, one pound of
powder to 50 .gallons of water, ap-
plied just before the blossoms open
and again after the petals have fal—
len, will kill most of the beetles be—
fore they have 1aid,their eggs.

 

SEEDLING

I have a black sweet cherry which
bears fruit of unusual size and quality.
Can I graft some little seedling sweet
cherry trees from this tree, and when
should it be done?———D.

Possibly a sweet cherry can be
grafted, but we have yet to find the
man who has successded at it. Cher-

fifty single gallons in fifty different pack-
ages. The difference in cost is 35¢ per
gallon or $17.50 per iron drum—and this

as fifty times -
longer to fill and handle 50

gallon cans of EN-AR- CO Motor ,-
Oil than it does one 5 O-gallon iron
drum. The difference is $17.50.

WI. 7.3.9 JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD
Michigan? Own end- AmorIcar Foremost Author of Wild LIFe Romance

(Continued from last _week)

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
N MANY years there had not been
such a storm in all the Northland
as that which followed swiftly
in the trail of the first snows that
bird driven Neewa into his den—
the late November storm. of that
year which will long be remeem-
bored as Kusketa Pippoon (the

Black Year), the year of great and.

sudden cold, of starvation and of
death.

It came a. week after Mikl
left the cavern whereiln Neewta was
sleeping so soundly. Proceeding
that, when all the forest world lay
under its mantle of white, the sun
shone day after day, amd the moon
and stars were as clear as golden
fires .in the night skies. The wind
was out of the west.
were so numerous they made hard
floors of the snow in thicket and
swamp. Canibous 31nd moose were
plentiful, and the early cry of
wolves on «the hunt was like music
in «the ears of a thousand trappers
in shack and Iteepee.

With appalling suddenness came
the unexpected. There was no
warning. The day had dawned
with a clear sky, and a bright sun
follow-ed the dawn. Then the
world darkened so swiftly that men
on their traplines paused in amaze;
ment. With the deepening gloom
came a strange moaning, and there
was something in that sound that
seemed like the rolling of a great

drum—the kmell of an impending
doom. It was thunder. The warn-
ing was too late. Before men

could turn back to safety, or build
themselves shelters, the Big Storm
was upon them. For Ithree days
hn'd three nights ilt raged like a mad

bull from out of the north. In the
open barrons no living creature
could stand upon its feet. The for-

ests were broken, and all the earth
was smothered. All things that
breathed buried themselves—or
died; for the snow that piled itself
up in windmws and mountains was
round and hard as leaden short, and
with it came Iain, inItense cold.

On the third day it was sixty de—,

grees below zero in the country be
tween the Shamasttawa and Jack-
son’s Knee. Not until the
day did living things begin to move.
Moose and caribou heaved them-
selves up out of the thick covering
of snow that had been their pro-tec-
tion; smaller animals dug their way
out of'the heart of deep drifts and
mournds; a half of the rabbits and
birds were dead. But the most ter-
rible Itoll was of men. Many of
those who were caught out Succeed—
ed in keeping the life within their
bodies, and dragged themselves
hack to, teepee and shack. But
there were also many who did not
return—five'hundred who died be—
tween Hudson ‘Bay and the Atha-
bascn in those three terrible days
of the Kuskota Pippoon.

In the beginning of the Big’
Storm Miki found himself in the
“burnt” country of Jackson’s Knee,
and instinct senlt him quickly into
deeper timber. Here he crawled
into a Windfall of tangled
and tree-tops, and during the three
days he did not move. Buried in
the heart of the storm, there came

upon him an overwhelming desire‘

to return to Neewa’s den, and to
snuggle. up to him once more, even
though Neewa lay as ifdelad. The
strange comrad'eshlp that had now
grown up between the ‘two——their
Wanderdngs together all through
the- Isummen, the jOys and hard-

ships of the days and months 111

which «they had fought and feasted
like brothers—were memories as
viivid in his brain as if it hlad all
happened yesterdway And in the

dark windfall, buried deeper a‘nd ‘_

deeper under the snow, he dreamed.

that had come to them afterward;

Neewa’s donning up. He could not

hours of the three days and nights
of storm it was loneliness more than
hunger that ate at his Vitals. When
on the morning of the fourth day
he came out from under the wind-
fall his nibs were showing and there
was a reddish film over his eyes.
First of all-1 he looked south and
east, amd whined.

Through twenty miles of snow he

travelled hack that day to the
ridge where he had left Neewa.
On this fourth day the sun shone
l'ike’a dazzling fire. It' was so

bright that the glare of the snow
prleked his eyes, and the reddish
film grew redder. There was only
a. cIold glow in the west when he
came to the end of his journey.

on. The stars camé out; the night
was ghostly white in their pale fire;
and it was cold—terribly cold. The

there came a repont like a pistol-
shot as the frost snapped at [the

as his only inspiration Mikl drove
himself on. Never: had. he tested
his strength or his endurance as he

stuained them now. Older dogs
would have fallen in the trail or
have sought shelter or rest. But

Miki was the true son of Hela, his
gianut Mackenzie hound father, and
he would continue until he tri-
umphed—401‘ died. ~

But a. strange thing happened.

'He had travelled tw‘enlty miles to

the ridge, and fifteeh of the twenty
mfles.back. when a shelf of snow
giave way under his feet and he
was pitched suddenly downward.
When he gmthered h‘is dazed wits
and stood up on his half frozen
legs he found himself in a curious

place. He- had rolled completely
into a Wigwam-shaped shelter. of
spruce boughs and sticks, and

strong in his nostrils was the smell
of meat. He found the meat not
more than t1 foot from the end of
his nose. It was a, chunk of frozen
caribou fllesh transfixed on a stick,
and without questioning the man-
ner of its presence he gnawed at it
ravenously. ~0nly Jacques Le Beau
who lived eight or ten miles to the
east, could have explained the sit—
uatilon. Mdki had rolled into one
of his trap-houses, and it was the
bad: he was eating.

‘ was not; szen suit. Not until the
last bone of it was-gone did Miki’s
feast end. ’ He even devoured the
head. Then he went on wto the
windfall, and in his warm nest slept
until another day.

That dlay ‘Jacques Le Beau——
whom..,the-Indians called “Muchet-
lt'a-laa'o” (the One with an Evil
Heart)———wenft over his Itrapline and

-rebulillt his snow-smothered houses
and reset his traps. ,

It was in the afternoon that
Miki, who was ‘hunting,-struck his
trail in a swamp several miles from
the windfall. No longer was his
soul (stir-red by the wild yearning
for a master. He sniffed, suspic-
iously, of Le Bean’s snowshoe
tracks and the crest along his spine
trembled ”as he caught the wind,
and listened. He followed caut—
i‘ously, and a hundred yards flarther
on came to one of Le Bean’s kekeks
or ltrap-shellters. Here too, there
was meat—fixed 'on a peg. Miki
reached in. From under his fore-
paw came a vicious snap and the
steel jaws of a trap flung sticks
”and snow into his flace. He Snarled,
and for a few moments he waited,
with his eyes on the trap. Then
he stretched himself until he
reached the meat, Without advanc—

ing his feet. Thus he had discov-
ered the hidden menace of the
steel jaws, and instinct told him
how to evlade them.

For another third of a mile he
followed Le Boau’s tracks. He

sensed the presence of a new land
thrilling danger, and yet he did not
turn off the trail]. An impulse
which he was poiverless to resist
drew him on. He came to a second
.trap, and this (time he robbed the
bait-peg without springing the
thing which he knew was concealed

close under it. 'His long fangs
clicked as .he went on. He was
eager for a glimpse of the man-

beast. But he did not hurry. A
third, a fourth, and a fifth trap he
robbed of (their meat. ’

Then as the day ended, he swung
westward afid covered quickly the
five miles between the swamp and
his windfall.

Half an hour later Le Beau came
back overthe line. -He saw the
first empty kekck, and the tracks
in the snow.

“Tonnerrre! a wolf!” he exclaim-
ed. “And in broad day!”

. Then a slow look of amazement
crept into his face, and he fell upon
his knees and examined the tracks.

“Non!” he gasped. “It is a dog!
'A devil of a wild dog—robbing my
traps!”

He rose to his feet, cursing. From
the pocket of his coat he drew a
small tin box, and from this box he
took a. round ball of fat. In the-
heart' of the fat was a strychni'ne
capsule. It was a poison bait, to
be set for wolves and foxes.

Le Beau chuckled exultantly as

he s‘tuck the deadly lure on the
end of the bait-peg.
“Ow, a Willd dog,” he growled.

“I will teach him. To-morrow he

will be dead.”

On each of the five ravished bait-
pegs he placed a s’trychnine cap—
sulle rolled in its inviting little ball

" of fat. ,
CHAPTER FOURTEEN-

HE next morning Miki set out
Tagain for the traplline of Jacques
‘ ‘Le Beau. It was not the thought
'of feed easily secured that tempted

him. There would have been a
greater thrill in killing for him-
self. fit was .the trail, with its

smell of the man-beast, that drew

him like a magnet. Where that
smell was very strong ‘he wanted
to lie down, and wait. Yet with

his desire there was also fear, and
a steadily growing caution. He
did not tamper with the first kekek
nor with the second. At the third
Le Beau had fumbled in the p1ac«
ing of his bait, and for that reason
the little hail of fat was strong
with the scent of his hands. A’ fox
woulld have turned away frOm it
quickly. Miki, however, drew it
from the peg and dropped it in the
snow. betweeen his forefeelt. Then'
he looked about him, and listened

the aorid bite of the poison re—

Would have been dead within a
quarter of ‘an hour, and Le Beau
would not have gone far to find
his body. As it was, he-.- was be—
ginning to turn sick at the end of
the fifteen minutes. A premoni-
tion of the evil that was upon him

drew him off the trail land in the
direction of the windfalll. He had
gone only a short distance when

suddenly his legs gave way under
to

him and he fell. He began
shiver. Every muscle in his body
trembled. His teeth clicked. His

eyes grew 'wide, and it was impos-
sible for him to move. And then,
like a hand throttling him, there
came a strange stiffness in the back
of his neck, land his breath hissed
chokingly cult of his throat. The
stiffness passed 'like 'a wave of fire
through his body. Where his
muscles had trembled and shivered
a moment before they now became
rigid and lifeless. The throttling
grip of the poi-son at the base of
his brain drew his head back until
his muzzle was pointed straight up
to the sky. Still he made no cry.
For a space every nerve in his body
was at the point of death.

Then came the change. As
though a string had snapped, the
horrible grip left the back of his
neck; the stiffness shot out of his

body {in a flood of shivering cold,

and in another moment he was
twisting and tearing up the snow
in mad convulsions. The spasm

lasted for perhaps a minute. When
it was over Miki . was panting.
Streams of salliva dripped from his
jaws into the snow. But he was
alive. Death had missed him by

gered lt'o his feet and continued
on his wlay to the Windfall.
Thereafter Jvaiques Le Beau
might place a million poison cap—
sules .in his way and he would cut
touch them. Never again would he
steal the meat from a bait-peg.

Two days later Le Beau sa, v
where Miki had fought his fight
with depth in the snow and hi:

heart was black with rage and dis-~
aim-ointment. He began to follow
the fiootprinls of the dog. It was
noon when he came to the wind—
fall and saw the beaten path where
Miki entered it. On his knees he
peered into the cavernous depths
—-and saw nothing. But Miki, 1y-
inlg watchfully. slaw the man. and

he was like the black, bearded
monster who had almost killed
him with a club a long time ago.
And in his hear-t, (too, there was

disappointment, for away back in
his memory of things there was al—’
Ways the thought of Chal’lone-r—
the master ‘he had lost; and it was
never Chall'oner whom he found
when he came upon the man smell.

Le. Beau heard his growl, and
the man’s blood lleapt excitedly as
he rose to his feet. He could 'not
go in after the wild dog, and he
could not lure ‘him out. But there
was another way. He would drive
him out with fire! 7 .

Deep back in his fortress, Miki
heard the crunch of Le Beau’s feet
in the snow. A few minutes later
--he saw the man-beast again peer-
ing into his lair.

“Bete, bete,” he called half
tauntingly, and again Miki growled.

Jlacques was satisfied. The wind-
fall was not more than thirty or
forty feet in diameter, and about
it the forest was open and clear of
undergrowth. It would be impos
siblle for the wild dog to get awa
from his rifle.

A second time 'he went
the piled-up mass of fallen timber.
On three sides. it was completely,
smothered under the deep snow.
Only Where Miki’s trail entered

A Strange ‘ ‘Vindication’ ’

- HE FINAL seating of Mr. Newberry in
the United States Senate has very httlc
significance so far as the people of Michigan
are concerned. Their estimate of Newberry
methods was formed long before Mr. New-
berry ’5 trial and conviction at Grand Rapids
and nothing has transpired in the interim to
change it. The exclamations of approval
which have emanated from some of the mem-
bers of the old guard of the state over the
seating of Newberry may help bolster up the
Senator ’s courage but the country at large
will make a mistake to accept them as the
general sentiment of Michigan citizenry._
Mr. Newberry, We are told, hails the action
of the senate as a “complete vindication.”
This is quite in harmony with the role which
he has played from the start. His attitude
has consistently been that of a child instead
of a ‘man of mature years. He denied all
responsibility for the acts of his agents. He
denied knowledge of thc money spent and‘the
methods cmploycd to sccurc his nomination
and election. \Vhilc lV'lichigan was soothing
in the hotlcst political campaign of years in
which Mr. Newberry was One~ of the prmc1;
pals while the rest of the country lookedpn
fully aware of the pM'k-barrel methods being
employed, Mr. Ncwbcrry was running
‘around with cotton in his cars and colored
glasses over his eyes, quite oblivious of all
that was taking place. According to his test~
imonv he was nothing but an innocent, if
Willing‘victim, quite unused to political tac—
tics, wax in the hands of his friends. We are
led to marvel how shrewd business men and
politicians could be induced, cilhcr by the

'bonds of friendship or the lure of money, to

lend such enthusiastic support for so high a
Losition to a man so unsophisticaicd and pli-
able as Mr. Ncwbcrry has seemed to bc
throughout the entire course of his pnforl'u-
hate political venture. Ills iulclllgcuco suf—
fcrs still further in the minds of his coustltu-
ents when he professes to find a single grain
of'comforli in the last‘chaptcr which has just
been written. Thngh he may have con-
vinced many that he was inuoccnt of any
wrong—doing in securing his seat he will have
a more difficult task to convince them that

he is qualified to occupy the scat now that it

has been concededto him.

”A bigger and a shrewdcr man than Mr.
T\lewbe‘rry would have long since silenced his
critics and spared himself and family furth-
e11 humiliation by gracefully resigning his
seat. But with his childlike persistency he
has clung to his empty honors only to re—
ceive the severecensuro of the body of which
‘ In seating Mr. Newberry the

 

either with or without his know-

5,,

n

mudidate,

nity of the senate, and dangerous
sive expenditures are hereby~ severely con-
,demned and disapprov ”

It is not within the’ realm of reason that
Mr. Newberry can ever acquire the dignity
and influence which a member of the United
States Senate ought to have, after such a
stinging slap in the face” Michigan’s sena—
torial representation has suflered long
enough. Why perpetuate the farce for an-
other three'yearsi For the good of Michi-
gan if not for himself, Mr. Newberry ought
to resign and let the GovernOr appoint some-
one in his place who is free from the stigma
of Newberryimn. _

 

Better Organization
HE MONROE County Farm Bureau has
evolved a unique, and up0n the surface
what appears to be amost practical plan of
organization. The plan is to have the execu—
tive committee made up of one representative
from each co-operatiVe association in the
county
Membership 0n the executive committee of
the county farm bureau is commonly only in-
cumbent upon one condition, that the com-
mitteeman be a member of the bureau in
good standing. There are no requirements so
far as business ability, experience and geo-
graphical location are concerned. Although
care is usually taken to choose the members
of the committee from, difierent parts of the
county, there in no set rule and it frequently
happens that one section Will be over—repre-
sented at the expense of another. The re-
sult is that dificulty is encountered in keep-
ing the poorly represented sections interest-
ed in the affairs of the county organization.
Under the plan adopted by the Monroe coun-
ty'bureau, every section of the county will be
represented. More than that it will be rep-
resented by a man who is actually‘engaged in
one of the primary activities for which the
farm bureau came into existence.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest

link. When weak co-opcrative units fail or'

lose money the whole body suffers in the pub-
lic estimation. Cooperation in its highest
sense means the protection and assistance of
the weak. Therefore, every unit in the chain
of co—operation should be interested in every
rthcr unit and coptribute some. of its own
strength to fortify other, but weaker units.
By bringing representatives of all co-opcra-
five units in a county together as the Monroe
(lounty Farm Bureau has done there is bound
to be a mutual exchange of ideas which will
‘0 beneficial to all concerned. Co—opcration
has a tough road to travel the next few years
and it is highly important that all co-opera—
tivc units be closely welded by bonds of sym-
éatby and mulvol help. This is the aim, we
take it, of the Monroe County Farm Burcau.‘
The example is worthy of emulation in other
counties.

 

Taxes

‘ AS THERE over a year when a goodly

majority of farmers did not kick
about the sizo of their Taxes? it’s just as
unlurul for some farmers to complain when
they go to pay lhcir taxcs as it is for a roost-
or to crow when hc gets up in the morning.
Naturc made lihcm that way.

fully justified in every respect. The last three
year! are. typicalof thoyea'rs when farmers
have paid more taxes than they could aflord
to pay and without, getting value received
In an organized society taxes are necessary.
Every men who enjoys the protection of on-
‘ ganizod society should pay something for the
benefits. But under existing tax system: a.
great many pay nothing at all, a greatmany
more pay too little in proportion to their
ability to pay, and.\'the rest pay ”more than

they can afiord to pay would to pay. The *

farmer is included in the latter clam. While
in other years he may have complained of his
taxes, he did not find it a hardship to pay
them. But for two years back taxes have be-
come an enormous burden and worry to him.

Time was when the reduction of public ex-
penditures and taxes was a matter of oflicial
choice. Today it has become a matter of
pressing necessity. Last year thousands of
farmers could not pay their—taxes when due.
This year the number has doubled. In every

"county of the state are many farmers Whose

taxes run into the hundreds of dollars and
who haven’t a cent with which to pay them.
If their credit is good, they will add another
mortgage to the future, raise the money, and
pay their taxes. If it isn’t good—we'll, the
reader knows, the rest.

Taxes on farm property must come dOWn.
Farmers can’t pay them. To bring them
down, township, county and state authorities
must enter upon a rigid program of economy,
and other systems of taxation must be devis-
ed. For the salvation of our farms and our
homes the time has come when forum and
their champions must rise in their might and
fight for a reduction in taxes. The Business
Farmer has its coat off and its sleeve; rolled
up ready to take the lead. How many fam‘
crs are prepared" to follow?

 

Grade Crossings To (:3 '

OME TIME ago the Business Farmer
recommended editorially that all cross-
ings on important highways be separated or
protected by gates in order to lessen the ter-
rific toll of deaths which result each year in

ibis country from crossing accidents. It is

gratifying to note that the bureau of public-
roads, of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, has embraced the same idea, and will
wherever possible eliminate grade crossings
on all highways built with federal aid.

An announcement from the Bureau says:

“Instead of grade Crossings there will be con-
structed, wherever possible, in the future, either
a bridge or an,underpass where roadway and
railway intersect. Important roads which now
cross and recross railroad lines at grades
hereafter will be located entirely on one side
of the railroad, even though to do so may in-
crease the cost of construction. The prime ob~
jec't of the department’s policy to eliminate
grade crossings on federal-aid roads is the
saving of human lives. During the three years
ending with 1920, according to the best re-‘.
cords available to the department, 3,636 lives
were lost at grade crossings in the'United States
and 10,644 persons weré injured.”

 

Pigs Is no Longer Pigs

ARMOUR & Company have announced
that the method of determining hog
values is undergoing a gradual but positive
change. No longer will “any old kind of a
hog" do. The preferences of the public will
be given consideration and the hog breeder
must produce an animal which will suit the
public 's fancy. The hog most in demandth
now is that having the characteristics of the
Berkshire, neither too fat nor too lean. Firm-
ness of flesh, texture, intermingling of fat and
lean, andzthe flavor are the four factors which
determinequality. The first three, essentials
the 'hog breeder must provide.
will take, care of the fourth. Adaptation of the
breed to'meet changing demands‘is no/ new

idea.

. AIN‘T IT
'VE‘RY ONCE' N a while or often-
E or, somebody busts loose 111,, the
papers about the awful prohi-
bition laws. an' tells what a terrible
thing it is to deprive men 1111' wo-
men of the drink their souls need
an’ their appetites crave. An’ ’cause
M. B. A. kinda stands up for the
law, some of the subscribers write
sassy letters an’ one or two has
even quitt t’akin the paper ’cause 1'1
disagrees with their idea's—I came
purty nigh sayin’ their belief. No.-
body, no man or woman in full pos—
session of their senses, believes that
liquor in any form is a good thing.
Neither does any one in his or 1 9
right mind believe that more “(1
is bein' consumed under prohibitimi
than was consumed when saloons
waz runnin’ wild. If this 11111.1. 1"”
you wouldn’t hear a word about the
turrible Volsted law 1111’ when 1011
trace it down to the man who
writes such articles as we often read

~_we find it comes from some one who

is either interested in the liquor
business or one who thinks he can‘t
get along without his customary
drink. They‘ll tell you what a. curso
the law is but fail to mention any
partic’lar one who has been cursed.

They’ll tell of deaths caused by
drinkin’ some of the stuff sold for
whiskey an’ of course it’s true—fl
there’s been a good many of ’em but
bless you friends, that ain’t the
fault of the law—it’s the Violation
of the law that causes trouble! lf
everybody obeyed the law there
wouldn’t be a death from whiskey
substitutes in a hundred yours.

Of course we all know the law is
bein' violated every day—some—
times by men appointed to enforce
the law—many times by men from
whom we expect better things. We
also know that the law is agains:
murder, robbery, adultery, gambiin’.
speedin’ 1111’ dozens of other things,
are bein’ violated every day,
an’ yet you don’t hear anybody
shoutin" to have these laws repealed
——oh, 110! Such laws are all right
au‘ proper—it’s only the prohibition
law that’s wrong—our right to got
drunk 2111’ make beasts of ourselves
——-our right to beat up our wives in
a drunken frenzy, to deprive 0111
children of the comforts of life? l1,
takes away the source of untold pro-
fits from liquor makers and liquor
sellers 1111’ they whine an' holler like
Whipped pups, 1111’ that’s all the good
it'll do ‘em, too, 'cause the prohi—
bition law is here to stay an’ over
offmt to break it will only make it
stronger

It always makes me laugh to hear
a man say there is more drunken—
ness now than when liquor was
bein’ sold openly, over the bar. To
them days, not so longr ago, right
here in Battle Creek, you couldn’t
go a half a block on many of the
streets, without m-oetin’ from one to
ten intoxicated men, an’ you could
meet some on any street. Now it’s
very séldom that an intoxicated man
isseen anywhere in the city. Thor-o
may be liquor sold hercwl could
not say there is not but if it is beiu’
sold in very large quantities it must
have a purty mild kick to it or else
people lock themselves in their cel—
lars when they drink it an’ stay
there ’till the effects are gone.

Now I want to make a bargain
with some of the guys that’s hol—
lerin’ so loud about the prohibition
law an’ here is the ofierwyou fel—
lers git together 2111' think of every
good thing whiskey, light wines or
beer, has ever done for the women
an‘ children of this country—or
what it has done for the man who
has a family to support—or any
other man outside of the men who
made an’ sold the stuff. Write it.

all down—don’t tail to think of
every good thing the damndble
stun has ever done—you’ll need

them all—~then I’ll jest think of a
few things prohibitidn has done for
women an’ children—for tho homes
or this land 1111’ for the men who has
to provide for those" homes, an’ when
we all get through t'hlnkln an'
writiu' it all down. then we’ll get
somebody to choose three or five
judges an’ let, them decide which is
best—saloons on every corner,‘ sale
of fish! wines ‘an' beer: or strict
prohibition thoroughly enforced.

’ALVATION, in it’s real sense, is"

. , a matter of the body, soul and

‘ spirit. It is the concern of the
present hour as well as of a future
eternity. If we wish to be saved
lotus be saved now. Let us begin
' today to enter upon that finer order
of‘life that is in harmonious vibra—
tion with the higher forces.

Then when we withdraw from the
mortal plane, we shall be better fit-
ted for the next plane on which w
enter. ’

By the very nature of the human
organism, man is connected with
the entire universe byan intricate
system of vibrations of influences
of waves in the ether, of an enor-
mous array of the invisible.

Dean Inge, remarks that, “Eternal
life is not something future—it is
now! I believe,” he continued,
“that if we dwelt on this aspect of
eternal life—as a blessed state to
be begun here and perfected here-
after—we should find the doctrine
more fruitful to ourselves and
more credible to those we wish to
influence.” There is the traditional
supposition, that death introduces
the individual to perfect happiness
or the reverse, this is no more true
nor consistent than that a given
birthday introduces the person to
unallayed bliss or misery.

As all kinds of people live, so all
kinds of people die and the mere
fact of death is not in and of itself
a transforming process spiritually.
He Who has not developed the facul-
ties that lay hold on the ethereal
life, who has lived within_the im-
prisonment of the senses, not rising
to the nobler intellectual state, is
no more entirely detached from the
alternations of sorrow and struggle
than when here.

For the materialist, who has
lived to self, a spiritual world, with
an atmosphere strange and over-
powering, with all that he clung to
gone, with an environment that he
has always turned from and a
language he has never learned to
sp'eak, would be retribution
enough!’

Death is the portal thru which
we pass to a condition more favor-
able to the nature of the spiritual
powers and no more to be that of
as a disaster than is the entrance
“on university study, or travel or
any other gateway to new and en-
larging interests.

CAPITAL PUNISIDIENT
INCE the affair at Marquette
S capital punishment is again be-
ing talked of. There are two
sides to the question. First the pro—
tection of society, second the salva-
tion of the criminal which some-
times, if not generally, seems an im-
possible thing; many are born with
the criminal instinct and it can
neither be educated nor punished
out of them, certainly death will
not make angels of them. In put—
ting them out of the way we might
be considered as shifting our re-
sponsibility, yet society should be
protected. It is a knotty problem.
What do you say?

 

WHEW!
AVE JUST read your very inter-
H esting letter in the current
number of “Pipp’s Weekly." A
few observations may not be un-
acceptable to you.

All questions concerning human
life, that need to be settled, may be
settled by consulting the word of
God. This werd was written, pri-
marily, for the church, the elect,
the redeemed, and then for those
who are earnestly seeking the way,
the truth, and the life. It was not
written for pagans who prefer paga—
nism to gospel light.

The thoughts, motives, deeds of
the unbelieving world are, there-
fore, of no concern to the church.

Only a small minority of the wo-
men of America are christians, the
rest are, virtually, pagan.

A pagan mother, being destitute
of spiritual understanding,-. can not
“bring her children up in the na-
ture and admonition of the Lord.”
neither is she capable of understand,
ing her proper place in society. ’

As a result of this pagan up-
bringing the more theatres, dance
halls and other questionable places

HASTY ACTION

I’M VERY much interested in your

paper, and certainly enjoy read-
ing it, and have got many useful
helps from it, as well as economical
ones. I was employed as a house-
keeper on a farm, tho, it was my
first experience on a farm, I always
looked after the house and expenses
as tho they were my own, but I’ve a
family of three children to support
so sailing isn’t as smooth. Their
daddy passed away when my young—
est was only six months old, but I’ve
managed to keep them together now
for four years. But I am interested
in "Unfaithfulness" and especially
in the writer who signed his name
as “Sorry Husband."

I have had some experience, my-
self, but I can sympathize with him
for being sorry for his actions, for I
mistrusted only too soon, which put
me where I am now.

Now my story is different, but as
I stated before, I was a housekeep-
er, and met a man who seemed to
be an ideal one, my folks thinking
he was just as I did, but I only
knew him a short time. When he
proposed, I accepted, for a woman
certainly has her experiences, acting
as housekeepers, for so many are
looking for so—called wives. This
man furnished a 5—room bunga-
low two years ago, saying he was
tired of rooming around, and oh,
my but I was so happy. And he
seemed also to be, and was good to
to the children. When, after three
months it seemed to me like I was
having a dream, he told me he had

was booming, tho I knew he had ap-
plied'for the position, and he left,
bidding us farewell, with the under-
standing he would send for us.

Now that was a year ago last April,
and I have never heard direct from
him since. When I didn’t hear
from him within 10 days, and on
uncing his tool box, I found he went
to another place, so on advice of
lothers I swore out a warrant for

m.

I wasn’t in need of money and’

my rent was paid for a month. I
had a good supply in, but on the
other hand he never treated me
right, by telling me a falsehood on
his leaving. Then again why did I
let others talk me into getting out
the warrants, for when I was asked
what complaint I had, all I could
say was he never went where he told
me he was going. We heard from
a party who had been with him
that he had nothing against me, but
when the police got on his trail, it
made him angry, after only being
gone 10 days, intending to send for
me his next pay day, and he also
had a house spoken for, to surprise
me.

My advice should be to
what you are doing, before. mis-
trusting. I’ve got mysterious letters
always referring to him, but I will
not correspond with strangers.
Whether he wants to become recon-
'ci1ed or wants grounds for a divorce,
it is all a mystery to me. But peo-
ple think I am so foolish for not
condemning him, but there’s no one
I have ever seen can take his place
with me, and my main wish is that
he feels sorry for his actions, as the
sorry husband.

You can publish what you want
to of this, but really it seems a re-
lief when I can write my thoughts,
as I have no one out here and it
does not pay to tire your employer
with ones troubles. Thanking you
with best wishes to the M. B. F.

_ To sterilize the jars I use a cor“
per wash boiler with a tight cover.

It should be carefully and perfectly
clean. I place a clean wire rack in.
the bottom of the .boiler and stack
my jars in it laying them down on

their sides; fill with cold well water .

to cover the jars, bring to a boil and
boil about 30 minutes. In removing
from this bath, first remove the boil-
er cover and allow the steam to pass
off. I take out the jars one at a

. time with a long kitchen fork. They

should be placed right side up on a
folded towel rather .than, on the
table, to avoid breaking. Put the
sterilized lids on top of the jars at

once and the jars are ready for the:

meat.

My first batch of meat is canned as
follows: Cut the meat into pieces-
small enough to be easily packed
into the jars, and at once put the
raw meat into the jars, add a level
(or scant) teaspoonful of salt. Fill
all spaces with water, put on rub-
ber, screw on lid, but do not seal.
Place on the rack in the boiler in
warm (not. hot) water, allowing the
water to come up to the neck of the
jar, but not over the rubber; bring
to a boil and boil steadily for five

hours. It will be necessary to add
boiling water to the boiler from
time to time as the water boils

away. But remove the boiler lid
for this only when necessary, and
replace as soon as possible. At the
end of five hours, remove the boil-
er cover to allow the steam to es-
cape and after a few minutes take
out the jars, one at a time, using a
folded towel to protect the hands.
Set the jars down on a folded cloth
and very gently screw the lid down
to seal. Do not invert to test; as
the rubbers are very soft.

To be certain as to whether the

- jars are properly sealed examine the

lids after the meat has become «gm.
The perfectly sealed jars will have
a greatly depressed lid. Where the
lid has not drawn down there should
tie a new lid and rubber put on and
the jar should be again sterilized for
an hour or so.

When the first batch has begun
boiling I begin my second, using my
second recipe which is perhaps the
best. Taking several skillets or fry-
ing pans I brown the pieces of meat
before packing them in the jars. This
gives a different flavor to the canned
product. The seasoning and filling
with water is as described in the
first instance, but the jars may be»
kept hot and filled with boiling
water just before placing in the
cooker. No fat is used in the skil-
lets as this would change the flavor.

In canning the meat which con-
tains bones I use the third recipe.
By this plan we may can soup or
meat. _

Brown the bony pieces,
those for soup, and place in large
kettles for boiling (I use a large
new dishpan), and, covering with
boiling water’ (for soup use cold
water), boil gently until the meat
slips from the bones. Remove the
bones and pack the meat in‘ the
(hon/jars, put on rubbers and lids
as before, but here it is necessary
to keep the jars in the water bath
ouly'three and one-half hours, be—
cause of the previous cooking. The
filling of the jars after putting in
the meat, is done, not with water,
but with the broth in which the meat
has been cooking. All of this broth
can be canned and sterilized with
the meat three and one—half hours;

ORIGIN OF ST. VALENTINE’S
DAY
RS. A. G. M. has requested the
information and as it may be
Interesting to others I will pub-
lish it.

Saint Valentine was a bishop and
martyr of the church. He was put
,. to death at Reme in the year 279.
Since that time a custom has grown
up Of choosing valentines on Feb.
14, the date of his death. This cus-
tOm prevailed during the Roman
Lupercalia, a festival at which each
boy drew from a box a tablet in-
scribed with the name of a girl to
whom he was to be devoted for one
year. From that custom has grown
the modern one of sending valen-
tines.

Just what the connection is be-
tween the martyred bishop and the
giving of the missives I was not able
to determine.

It is an old belief that birds be-
gin to mate on February 14, per-
haps that is why they are so fre-
quently used as a decoration.

. To Remove Stain _and Rust
In your issue of M B. F. for Dec. 10th

I noticed Mrs. G. W. P, wished to know ,

how to remove iodine stain from linen.
If she will mix starch and water fairly
thick. and spread on the linen, and allow
it to dry on the goods, then wash it
in the usual way, I think she will find
the stain has disappeared. Do not boil
the starch. She also w hes to know
how to remove rust sta us. I use a
preparation called “Iron Rust Soap." It
may be obtained from Gartside's Iron
the M. B. A
Rust Soap 00., Philadelphia, Pa. I think
theBM. B. F, is a very helpful paper.—

Dear Mrs_ Jenney—We have taken the
M. B. F. ever since it was printed, I
believe. I enjoy the department for we-
men very much. I saw in the issue of
Dec. 10, 1921, Mrs: G. W. P. request for
a remedy to remove iodine and rust
stains,_ For iodine, wet spots with cold
water and hang by stove where heat will
strike it. (I hung my garment by oven
door) if not alligone, repeat. For iron
rust, cover spot with salt and moisten
with lemon juice, place in sun. For mil—
dew, wet goods and soap heavy with
laundry soap, rub salt in and hang in
sun. I have tried 'all of these and they
do the work. My letter is so long I will
close. Wishing you all -a Happy New

WHAT COLORS NEEAN

Yellow symbolizes the rays of the sun,
and tends to cheerfulness.

Red, brings to mind fire, blood,
warmth, A little goes a long way. It is
stimulating and therefore aggressive.

Blue, suggests cold, ice. Sometimes
depressing, but desirable in warm sur-
roundings, becaUSe it is cooling.

Green is noted for its freshness and
restfulness.

Browns are warm, comforting, quiet-
ing, conducive to tranquillity of that, as
a “brown study.”

Gray is neutral and combines well With
other colors_ '

Black is depressing and should be used
sparingly.

EAR CHILDREN: How swiftly
tune passes. Here it is past the
middle of January, this month

will soon be gone. Then will come

February, the shortest month in the:
year. And after that March_ and
spring: It will not be many weeks
before you will go to school so‘me
morning and one of your playmates
will call to you, “I saw a robin on

~my way to school this morning.”

01', maybe you will be the first one
in your school to see it.

Did you know that there are more
robins in this country than any
other species of birds? It is true.
All bird censuses prove this. Robin
Redbreast is known all over the
United States, from coast to (past,
and, while many people think he is
a pest because he eats small fruits,
he is not, as I told you some time
ago. He eats enough worms, bugs,
and other enemies of fruits and
crops to amply pay for the fruit he'
cats. I have a secret that I am go—
ing to tell you.- This bird we call
:1 robin is not a. robin at all. The
real robin is a little red—breasted
resident European bird about the
size 01’ a bluebird, ahd our robin is
really a large migrating thrush. The
Pilgrims found it here when they
came to this country and it remind—
ed them of the English robin so they
named it robin in memory of the
little feathered friend in their old
home country. And the name has
stuck—UNCLE NED.

facturers. The farmers do not want
to lose money year in and year out.
Neither do they want the manufact-
urers. There is a commoumeeting
place between the two, as We have
often pointed out, where misunder—
standings can be aired, where diffi-
culties can be overcome and where
the questions of prices and condi—
tions can be adjusted to the satin:

faction of all.

Great as are the "investments in
sugar factories in the United States
they are not great enough to induce
the United States congress to enact
a tariff law which will put the price
at sugar abnormally high to the
American consumers. And the
manufacturers know it. Their only
hope at this time is the ac-
tive support of the organized
farmers who grow boots, and their
farm journals. And if these help the
manufacturers at this time to save
their business, the latter will be in-
grwtes and fools if they do not re-
member’the farmers and seek their
(to-operation in the future instead of
arousing their antagonism.

We cath speak anthoritisvely up-
on. what congress will do with the
sugar tariff but it is the opinion of
this journal that the beet sugar in-
dustry will get the protection ‘which
it seeks. To make doubly sure the
Business Farmer will place the facts
before congress and urge its readers
whether they grow beets or beans or
what not, to‘ help preserve the Michi-
gan sugar beet farmers and the
Michigan sugar manufacturers from

the ruinous competition of the great”

landlords of Cuba and the Phili-

pines.

few minutes ago, when I heard one of
your speakers refer to the great agri-
cultural educators that have been given
to the world by the Michigan Agricul-
tural College. 'I am also proud of the
work that the Michigan Department of
Agriculture is doing for the farmers of
this state; whenever this department
asks for anything within reason. I shall
do my level best to see that it gets it.
More than that, I pledge you' here to-
night, that this administration will do
everything in its power to make the
Michigan Agriculturdl,College the greats
est institution of its kind in the world.

T. F. B. Sotham—"It seems to me that
it would be a good plan if we could vary
our breeding practice so as to decrease
the number of farmers engaged in the
dairy business and increase the number
of beef breeders. If some of our dairy—
men, who have small herds, would recon-
sider and put .in beef-bred herds and
raise baby beef would it not increase
the profits to be made by those still en-
gaged in the dairy business? 'We are
buying hundreds of calves from the
“panhandle“ every“ year that could -be
profitably produced on some of the cheap-

- err lands in Michigan.

Ex-Governor F. O. Lowden, of Illinois

——“I often wish that we could give every ,

farmer in America an oracular -demon-
strationpf the value and utility of pro-
diming pure-bred stock. Like some other
things, farmers are slow-to start in any
new thing; they go well once they get
away but it is hard to warm them up.
You can (16 your splendid research work.
here in the college, but you find it dif-
ficult to get it all across ‘to the farmer.

Ed, Stone, of Peoria, Illinois, secereq
tary of the National Hampshire Swine
Association, addressed the Michigan
Swine Breeders meet at the college on
Wednesday. Mr. Stone is a live wire
and he certainly did stir up things. He
spoke in favor of closer relations and
more active co-operations between ‘the
producers of the various varieties of
hogs. The wonderful increase in the
number of Hampshire breeders in this
country, during. the last few years is)
credited largely to the splendid work of
the national secretary.- . ‘

cow ms HARD BUNCH UNDER
em

Perhaps you can adviseus how to treat-

our cow. She has a hard bunch under-
neath the skin just back- of her right
shoulder. This bunch discharges pus and
has been there for some time, say two or
three months. What should I give cows
that do not come in heat regularlyih—
H. F', Bfi-Dewitt. Mich.

Wash entire enlargement thor-
oughly with soap and water, shave
the skin around the opening after
which wash again with any good
antiseptic, say one teaspoonful creo-
lin to a pint of water, then make
an opening sufliciently large to in-

sert the finger to the bottom of the,

wound and you will find a piece of
wire, nail, stick or something of
the sort which is causing the dis-
charge and prevents the wound from
healing. If you do not get results
from this procedure write us again
and we will be glad to advise you
further. A nerve tonic consisting of
powdered nux vomica, two drams
morning and night.

CRIBBER

Is there anything a man can do for
a. horse that is in the first stages of
being a. cribber? It so please answer
through your columns—J. A. P., Weid-
man, Mich,

Cribbing is nothing more or less
than a habit, after the habit becomes
thoroughly formed is incurable. Re-
move the manger and place feed
on the floor, buckle a strap around
the neck and let him wear it con—
tinuously.

 

FARM RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS
REVEAL WEAK SPOTS
(Continued from page 5)

The following outline shows a con—
venient way of determining yearly
loss or gain:

investment 5
3. Total of (1) and (2) $
4. Total expenses $~_~__._.

‘There Will be either an increase or a.
decrease in total farm investment, not
both. More cows, feed, etc., at the end
of the year means, an increase; less a
decrease.

This data, together with a record
of crop yields, a knowledge of labor
distribution, and a classification of
receipts and expenses may be sum-
marized to show relative costs or
relative profitableness of farm enter-
prises. Later articles will discuss
accounting for the purpose of de-
termining economy of various farm
operations and the use of cost of
production data in fixing prices.

TRADE AND BUSINESS REVIEW
‘ _ ANY EvaNCEs of improved
‘ business (modulus are making
their appearance as the first
month in the year grows older. The
development of a general activity,
in manufacturing circles, is still do-
layed but the situation has in it
much of encouragement. The lack
of employment is still the condition
that causes buyers at wholesale to
be extremely conservative. Buyers
at retail are said to be much more
in evidence than they were one
month ago. The case at which
money can be secured is one of the
leading influences which have tend-
ed to loosen the situation. One of
the conditions which is sure to lend
activity to the general trade of the
country before very long is the
scarcity which exists in many lines
of manlii’ac‘turercd products.

The wool market is booming, sev-
eral price advances having been not-
ed during the past 'month; foreign
demand is becoming muclr more ac-
tive and the whole situation is
gaining strength as the certainty
dawns that a tremendous Shortage
in this product is imminent. The
cotton market is uneven with a ten-
dency toward weakness but the de-
mand for both cotton and woolen
cloth is active.

The recent even cold weather is
having a steadying effect on many
(commercial lines, notably, footwear
of all kinds, ‘fresh meats provisions,
live stock and all other soasonable
goods. The demand for copper and
zinc is gaining in strength, coming
largely from export sources and both
mine owners and their employes are

' looking for prosperous year.

The stock market has been show-
ing much more activity. of late, with
the rail issues most in demand.
Some of the best industrial issues
have been moving upward, the prin-
cipal impelling force being rumors
of the purchase of large quantities
of steel and other material which
enters ,into the construction of auto-
mobiles. The bond market has been
rather quiet of late and bfils fair to
continue so until further dividend
disbursements release more money
for investment. Call money is rang-
ing from 3 to 3 1-2 per cent 0n the
New York stock exchange and short
time loans are easily available at
4 1-2 per cent. “'cckly bunk clear-
ings were $6,683,006,000. - '

changes in prices of consequence,
prices in the Detroit market for

new stock declining 1—2c. The Chi-
cago market aflso declined in the
neighborhood of this amount. There
were many friends or corn in the
market but they were not optimis-
tic enough to make very large pur—
chases and as soon as prices ad—
vanced they diSposed of their hold—
i-n'é; and then Waited for the market
to go lower so they might “pick up
a. few bargains”. On the other hand
the bear side felt none too bearish
and they did not exert themselves
to force prices downward; in fact,
they did not feel inclined to be-
cause when prices declined farmers
refused to sell. The average for the
week found receipts heavy at Chi-
cago, amounting to 2,348 cars, but
Shipping demand was good and re—
ceipts were not burdensome. Ship-
ment sales totalled 2,500,000 bush-
els at that market. Buying by the
Russian Relief Commission has in-
creased the demand for corn con-
siderably. The opening of the cur—
rent week found no change in tone
or prices.

gained strength atl Detroit.
There is both bearish and bullish
hgews of seemingly equal importance
which keeps the market in a rather
fldgety condition. Milling demand is
tight, but buying for foreign relief
has been more motive of late. Com~
fidence in the statistical position of
this grain seems to be on the in—
crease and any appreciable falling
off in visible supply should be im-
mediately reflected in a. stronger
market: That there must come a
.pronounced decrease in the visible
at ;a. very near date is the opinion of
many traders, who upon the'strength
of their convictions are doing some
buying. Reports . of

cate without question that more
acres have been planted this year
than last, but this does not necess—
.._%r.ily mean a larger crop. The con-

visible supply shows some sign of
decreasing, andcxport business is

feeding grains from the south also
shows improvement, and there is a
better feeling all ardund in‘ this
market. We hope our readers who
buy oats have acted upon our advice
and made their purchases on con-
tracts. They will not be able to buy
oats as cheaply for a long time as
they were a. few weeks ago.

 

The Chicago rye mlarket showed
no change during the week ending

January 14 but at Detroit this
grain declined 20 in price. There
were two declines of 10 each the

final one coming on theolosing y
of the week and the first one on the
opening day. There is an“easy tone
to the trading according-t0 all re-
ports. No. 2 rye is 83c at Detroit.

 

BARLEY
There has been no change in the
barley market since our last issue.
Prices at Chicago are 53@54c per
bushel and $1.05 1.15 per cwt. on
the Detroit mark-e . Indications are
that trading is of a quiet nature.

the winds that carry the moisture
from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of

toward lower values. .The best,

greater portionof the hay received
was of poor quality and dealers ex-

A marked improvement is shown
in the Chicago apple market and
many Vdi'ieties advanced, in price

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-

. Says.-

Vibration of a cream separator’s bowl will soon cost
you more money in cream waste than the price of
your separator. U. S. 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.

Self-Balancing Bowl

The Belgium Melotte is the only single-bearing-bowl separator made.This patented bowl hangs from one fric-
tionless ball bearing and spins like a top. 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-mixing with the milk. The 600 lb. Melotte turns as easily as the 3001b. 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 perfect skimming. . * .
