= the Capitol Hm with a
agreement on a method be-

est method devised already is rais-
ing a storm of protest. It is esti-
mated that $350, 000, 000 a year will
’he necessary to pay the cash bonus
extending over two and one-half
years beginning January 1, 1923.
, Estimates on the amount to be raised
through the present plan falls short
of this amount about $34,000,000.

The senators would place a tax
on parcel post packages, one cent on

each 25 cents; tobacco 2 cents a
pound; cigarettes, 50 cents per 1000;
amtomobiles, 26 cents per horse pow-
er; gasoline, 1 cent per gallon; stock
and bond transfers: one-tenth of one
per cent; real estate transfers, $5
per thousand; theater tickets, 20 per
cent; and two and one-half per cent
on undistributed proﬁts of corpora-
tions.

The American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration objects to the raising a sold-
ier bonus funds by a tax upon parcel
post, gasoline, automobiles, tobacco,
etc., as proposed by the recent House
Ways and Means Committee agree-
ment and would substitute a tax up-
on the excess proﬁt of manufactur-

of the $332,000,000 which the com-
mittee proposes to raise, 3300.000,-
000 would fall directly on the people

through increases ,in pmol’ pﬁt,

fates, tax on gasoliné, ammobiles
and increased stamp tan. Of the
balance, $22, 000, 000 Would be raised
from a tax on undivided profit of
corporations, 300, 000, 000 increased
tax on theater admissions.

“During the war government ex-
ports and Congress ﬁgured out the
best methods that could be devised
in raising taxes. The one of these
which was most productive, and least
burdensome, _was the excess proﬁts
tax on corporations, which has been
repealed by the 1921 tax law. If
re—enacted «this single source of rev-
enue would produce all the money
necessary for the bonus and obviate
the friction which would develop by
raising the parcel post rates, taxing
gasoline and automobiles and by the
increased annoyance caused by the
stamp taxes; it would not only do
this but it would be very much more
equitable as to corpormions them—
selves in the present situation," says
Mr. McKenzie.

“The last tax bill raised a flat tax
on corporations from 10 to 12 1-2
per cent, thus raising a tax on corp—
orations of low income while cutting
in half taxes on' corporations with
large incomes, through the repeal of
the excess proﬁts tax. If the excess

poration would be elected ‘until it

FARMER

 
Every F armer who had a Net Income of $2,000 or More in 1921 Must Make Return to Government

"'1 Inn's much interested reader of M. B. F., and am
taking the liberty of asking you to explain the meaning
0! the following: (1) intangible personality; (2) tangif
bio malty: (3) excess profits tax; (4) surtax; (5)
federal income tax—F. D., Sheridan. Mich.

N the general sense of the word personal prop—
erty is movable; real property is not. Horses,
cattle, farm implements, etc., are example

of personal property. Land buildings, wind-mills,
wood—lots are examples of real property. For
purposes of taxatiOn personal property is some—
times divided-into two classes, tangible and in-
tangible. Tangible personalty consists of any-
thing movable which .is visible and easily located.
All of the above named examples of personal
property are “tangible personalty." Intangible
- property is something which has a value but no
physical form. Examples are rents, franchises,
savings deposits, etc ,

The excess proﬁts tax is a tax levied solely
'against corporations. It is exactly What its name
implies, a tax against excess proﬁts. The ex—
cess proﬁts tax adopted by the United States
government during the war allowed an exemp-
tion of all proﬁts (up to 8 per cent on capi-
talization.
which increased progressively as the profits in-
creased. This tax is not longer imposed. It was
repealed about the middle of last year and took
effect January 1st. There is rtalk of reviving it to
pay the soldiers’ bonus.

“Surtax” means an “extra” tax on individual
incomes. It is levied only against persons having
net incomes over $6,000. Such persons have to
pay a “normal” income tax as well as a “surtax.”
For instance, an individual having a net income
of $7,000 pays to the government a. normal tax
of $240 and a surtax of $10. A person with an
income of $1,000,000 pays a normal tax of $79,-
680 and a surtax of $470,960, or over one-half
of his net income. Incomes over $1,000,000 pay
a normal tax of 8 per cent and a surtax of 50 per
cent. This is according to the new law recently
adopted. The old law levied surtaxes against
incomes over $1,000,000. When the law was re-
vised the lower house of. Congress reduced the
maximum rates from 65 to 32 per cent, but the

agricultural bloc in the Senate put them back
up to 50 per cent

.. THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX

Every unmarried person (male 'or female, in-
cluding widows, widowers and persons not living
with husband or wife) whose net income for the
year‘1921 was $1,000 or more, or whose gross
income was $5,000 or more, and every married
person living with husband or wife whose net in-
come was $2,000 or more, or whose gross in—
come was $5,000 or more, MUST ﬁle an income
tax return with the internal revenue ofﬁcer in
whose district such person or persons reside.

This does not mean that every such person
will have to pay-a ttax. Every single person is
allowed an exemption of $1,000, and every mar-
ried person an exemption of $2,500. An addiv '
tional exemption of $400 is allowed for each
child under 18 years of age who is wholly de-
pendent upon the person making the return.
Thus, a married man with three children, whose
total net income for 1921 was $4,000 would be
entitled to an exemption of $3,700. On the other
3300 he would pay the government a tax of 4
per cent or $12. If his income was only $3,700,
he would have no tax to pay. Under the old law
the total exemptions allowed to such an individ-
ual were only $2,600.

be regarded as investments of capital also
amounts expended for the purchase of breeding

mobile, even when wholly used in carrying on
farming operations, is not deductible, but is re—

State Farm Bureau Approves

Produce Marketing Plan

HE Michigan State Farm Bureau has oﬁici—

_ ally approved the plans of a produce mar-
keting department, with headquarters at Detroit.
This action was taken Tuesday of the current
week when a committee consisdng of M. L.
Noon, vice—president of the State Farm Bureau;
Geo. Friday, and E. C. McCarty, state farm
bureau directors; Clark Brody, secretary, and
Hale Tennant, marketing specialist, met with Mr.
Milton Carmichael, one of the fathers of the
idea, and created a pro'duce marketing agency to
be known as the Produce Sales Department of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau.

Mr. Carmichael was named director of orga-
nization and he will proceed at once to put his
plans into effect. It is expected that the de-
partment will be ready to accept shipments drom
farmers not later than April let. The depart-
ment will handle on commission all kinds of
farm produce including fruits, vegetables, eggs,
dairy products, dressed meats, etc. The tempor—
ary headquarters will be at 401 Bu‘hl block, De-
troit. Farmers desiring to avail themselves of
the services of the department should communi-
cate with Mr. Carmichael at that address.

As previously stated, if the Detroit unit proves
a success other units of the new department will
be opened up as rapidly as possible in other
leading cities. .

Losses incurred in the Operation of a farm as"

gross income. If, however, farm products are.

ﬁre of a prospective crop is not deductible. was
reason is that unless the crop reaches maturity
and is harvested and sold, its value never reached
gross income, and therefore an arbitrary deduc-
tion of such loss cannot be aIIOWed. The loss of
a growing crop simply means that the farmer.
has so much less gross income to report and 3
therefore would pay a reduced tax, if any tax '

farm is not deductible, except as such loss taro-1

or was killed by order of the authorities of thd
state or the United States, the actual purchase;
price less any depreciation which may have been
previously'sustained with respect to such stock,
and any insurance or idemity recovered may be
deducted as a loss.

Deductions of family or living expenses such
as rent for a dwelling, repairs to a dwelling,
cost of food and clothing for the family, education!
of children, servants’ wages and similar items
are expressly prohibited by the revenue act 6r
1921. General deductions, such as for taxes, in; ‘
terest on personal indebtedness, losses sustained“
in transactions entered into for profit aside from:
the farmer’s regular business, losses sustained.
by fire, storm, or other casualties, bad debts and"
contributions, are explained in instructions on the
form for ﬁlling returns. The farmer must 'in- i
dude in his return of gross income not only the
profits of his farm, but all other income such as
interest on bank deposits and profits received
from the sale or rent of farm lands. 'Dhe farmer
who lets out a 'farm on a crop—share basis mud
include in his income tax return for the year the
cash when received. A farmer who lets out I
farm as a cash rental basis and is paid in crop"
must report the exact cash rental agreed upon".
whether or not the crops are disposed of. V

The Bureau of Internal Revenue has had prev-i
pared for farmers a special form 1040 F———ior re?”
cording sales of live stock, produce and miscella—
neous receipts. All farm income from any source. 3
whatever must be reported in this schedule, which?
must be attached to the form for making indi-‘ﬂ
vidual returns. '

Form 1040A for income of $5,000 or less an ,
1040 for individual incomes in excess of $5,000“
may be obtained in the oﬂices of collectors . ,
internal revenue and branch ofﬁces. These form 3
will be mailed to persons who filed similar 130-»,
turns of income for the year 1920. Failure ‘
receive the form, however, does not relieve tr"
person from ﬁling his return and paying the
within the time prescribed by law. The retu
must be filed on or before March 15, 1922. T
tax this year, as last, may be paid in full at , '
time of ﬁling the return, or in tour equal metal
ments, due on or before March 15, June 16, ’
tember 15 and December 15.

ESSLY pushing to one side the protests
[of farm organizations and thousands of in-
,” ’ividual farmers, the state association of
ﬁperﬁsors at their annual meeting in Lansing
A list, week voted unanimous approval of the state
Load building program for 1922 as outlined by
tate Highway Commissioner Frank F. Rogers,
in accordance with the policy laid dowu by the

 
1,921 legislature.
‘ This program involves the expenditure by the
State alone of $14,000,000, in addition to what-
ever'sums may be expended by the counties and
townships. In 1920 the state spent in round
numbers for all highway purposes the sum of
$11,000,000. The townships spent another $11,-
: ”000,000 and the counties $6,000,000, or a
.3 grand total of $28,000,000. This was nearly
‘ ﬁre-thirds as much money as was spent for simi-
lar purposes during the entire 13-year period,
1901-13. If. the townships and counties spend
~ 11 the same proportion as the state the current
year of 1922, we may expect a. grand total ex-
penditure of approximately $36,000,000.

The 1920 expenditure was equal to a tax rate
of $5 per thousand valuation, but since a part of
,_the money was raised by the issuance of bonds
'iL-which will not mature for 15 or 20 years, the
' actual rate levied and paid was probable about
$4 per thousand.

TAXES BECOME BURDENSOME

"It is not to be supposed that so great an in-
crease in highway expenditures could be made
without the taxpayer feeling it. And he has
felt it very keenly. Simultaneously, of course,
taxes for other purposes? have also increased
enormously, as witness a comparison between
the total tax footings for 1901 and 1920. In
the former year the total taxes levied in the
state of. Michigan for all purposes was $23,350,-
404.37. In 1920 the total was $140,438,982.94.

‘ The assessed valuation of all property in 1901
was $1,335,109.918. In 1920, it was $5,319,—

702,886. Thus, while expenditures have in—

creased six times in 20 years the assessed valua-
tion has increased but four times. The rate per
Vthousand valuation ha‘s'increased from $17.49 to

about $27. -

Whenever burdened tax—payers rise up in pro-
test against the imposition of further taxes, there
is always some apologist to argue that the pro-
posed extra tax is really very small and won’t cut
much ﬁgure in the ﬁnal totals, or else that some-
one else pays the major part of the tax. When
the state cons-tabulary ﬁght was the hottest the
rural antis were silenced by the argument that
the cities paid most of the cost, and on the
strength of the argument the State Grange in
1920, reversed its position of a former year and
by a narrow margin endorsed the constabulary.

Now come others to convince farmers that good
roads don’t cost,—much.
borders of California, Phil T. Colgrove, presi—

~.".dent of the Michigan State Good Roads Associa-
tion, wires State Highway Commissioner Rogers
as follows:

“Just learned propaganda of Grange to stop
building trunk line roads. With federal aid ap-
prOpriated, surveys made and work progressing,
is move is fatal to the best interests of Michi-
gan. Farmers who read their tax receipts will
'diswver that the road taxes are the smallest of
all taxes. Michigan’s splendid work should not
I be interrupted,”——even, Mr. Colgrove might have
' added, if half of the farmers of the state go into
' bankruptcy in paying them.

SOME HIGHWAY FACES

Michigan has approximawa 70,000
miles of public wagon roads. Of these ap-
proximately 2,100 miles have been im-
proved or are under contract by the state
highway department as trunk line and
federal aid roads. There are no ﬁgures
available of the number of roads improved
by townships and counties. The roads al-
ready improved by’ the state have cost at
the rate of $22,000 per mile. If the state
continues to pay the same proportion of
the cost of these roads until its $50,000,-
000 bond issue is exhausted, it will have
been able to improve approximately 4,000
miles of highways.

The income of the slate Highway de-
partment from all sources for the year
1921 was approximately $22,000,000. 4‘01
this amount, $3,135,040_24 represented
the state’s share of automobile taxes,
$3,019,537 was federal aid money, and
$13,194,878 bond money. The rest of the
money was derived from direct taxation.

None of the highway bonds have been

$20,000,000 now outstanding is $1,052-
095. The annual interest on the $30,000,-
000 soon to be outstanding will be about
$1,400,000. It. is not unlikely that the
total interest charges on the $50,000,000
bonds if all are issued will amount to
more than the fare of the bonds them-
selves., The retiring of these bonds is
bound to be a slow and painful process.

road bonds be issued. They feel that the time
has come when governments as well as individ-
uals should cut expenses. There is no opposition
to good roads. Our readers are for the most
part believers in better highways, but they feel
that the program should be curtailed until farm-
ers and business men get back on their feet ﬁnan-
cially and able to bear the cost of the roads With-
out so great hardship. They are also ‘quite in
agreement that a ”pay as you go” policy should
be pursued instead of selling bonds and running
up enormous interest charges which ’the present
and future generations must help pay. Some of
the letters received upon this subject are illumi—
native of the average rural mind at the present
time:

F_ J. w., of Sanilac County writes: “I don’t‘believe
in a bond issue for 1922 or a bond issue at all. I believe

in a direct tax levy and a tax ”of one cent per gallon
on gasoline to be used for road building.”

“My opinion is,” writes C. W. L, of Leelanau county,
“that the state should curtail the bond issue for one
or two years Now is the time when strictest economy
shoud be practised. Never in my recollection has there
been such a hard time to raise tax—money and only way
out is to cut down on expenses."

 
“I am not a kicker and I like good roads," says M.
V. J., of Genesee County, “but our taxes are getting to
be so burdensome we can't pay them. Pay as You go
is the best policy. The Covert Act certainly ought to
be repealed.” .

 
“I have been reading your article in the Business
Farmer on the subject of further issuance of road
bonds in 1922," writes E, H. of Oceana county. “It

strikes me as being a very pertinent quesfron to , a,
great many farmerspespecially those who have been
obliged to borrow money to pay 1921 taxes. X ‘

“I am a good mad advocate and would like to see
improvement of country roads. But I can’t see any dif-
ference between public expenditures and those of the in-
dividual. In close times like.these the individual as rep-
resented by the average -fa.rmer must cut expense-
even though the investment might return profits after‘a
period of two or three years because the investment
must be kept within the capital and credit of the in-
dividual in question or bankruptcy will surely follow
before the investment matures; and so it is with the
State of Michigan. -

“While a bond issue of $50,000,000 of road bonds alone
would not cause ﬁnancial difﬁculty; it might if coupled
with $30,000,000 of Soldiers Bonus Bonds at the high
rate of interest whiclr’ they draw. And on top of that
we will be taxed indirectly for a portion of the Na.-
tional Soldiers Bonus and that is not all as it pertains
to this particular section of the state.

“This territory is.» served by the Pentwater division
of the P. M. and when its road bed needs repair it
must ﬁnd the money in its own pocket but the local
trucks (motor trucks) have their hands in the taxpay—
ers pocket and their share in the majority of cases are
represented by the small license fee paid, for state
license. Having no other property except the truck which
they operate and which is exempt from assessment on
the twp. tax roll.

“Here is a man who uses the road for the purpose or

making his living from commercial trucking and who

has his road way built by the public taking the business

from the railroad which must maintain its own right
of way and also pay a general tax to the state,

“The railroad in this county is already weak and
must necessarily become more so now that it is par-
alled its entire length by the West Michigan Pike built
at public expense and maintained by the public for the
motor truck at a rental that amounts to almost nothing.

"It seems I can hear you say that the farmers have
trucks and so they do, but a commercial truck belong-
ing to the man, who drives it himself will use the road
as much in a year’s time as 10 farmer owned trucks
would do but he doesn’t pay any more license than
farmer if their trucks are the same size.

“There must be some way to even things up and I
think the gasoline tax is the solution of. the problem
but I'am not prepared to say that one'cent is the proper
amount for it looks rather small and I would rather
believe it should be two or three cents and let the money

, so raised take the place of the bonds for future road

building and madmtenance.

“Let us not have as elaborate a road building pro-
gram in 1922 as in 1921 out of sympathy with the condi-
tion of the poor man's pocket book and the harm it
may do the farmer when the truck has more seriously
crippled the railroads."

A LEGISLATOR SPEAKS

State Representative Frank R. Mosier of Alle—.

gan county, speaks right out on the subject, too.
He says:

“I see in the last edition of the M, B. F, a coupon
asking our opinion on the advisability of floating $10,—
000,000 highway bonds. I am absolutely against float-
ing bonds to build highways. .

“I believe We should have a gasoline tax and low
a direct tax enough to get the federal money. It is
very easy for an individual to vote to Spend money
but very different to devise a means to raise that
money, ‘

“A man voting to bond to build highways is called a
constructive man but a man that cannot see a way to
raise these taxes, I believe is a destructive man.

“Since the close of rthe legislature I have talked with
several men, some of whom are paying federal income
tax, some are drawing large salaries, and some have
sold their farms to get rid of ying taxes but all of
them are demanding the roads to be kept in good re-
pair during the year. .

“Here is the just-(less of the state income tax and hero
is where these men can pay their share of the protec-
tion and care the government is giving them.

“A greater share of these men are demanding more

protection than the farmer who is standing the burden
today.
. “ en an ind vldual is voting a tax that he does not
know how to r e, he is striking at the very Vitals of
an industry that the whole world is depending on.
Agriculture.”——F, R. Mosier.

“GO AHEAD," SAYS ANOTHER LEGISLATOB

Representative Joe. E. Warner, of Washtenaw
county, takes the opposite view. Out of hundreds
of farmers who have written us on the subject,
Mr. Warner, and Hr. G. F. DeLaMater, county
surveyor of Otse-go county, are the only two who
take the position that the Rogers program
should be continued. As will be noted both these
gentlemen give excellent reasons for their posi-
tion. Mr. Warner writes as follows:

“Shall Michigan curtail her road building program?
By all means no_ There never was a time in the road
building game when roads can be built as
cheaply as this year. There never was a. time

when the young man or young woman of today was
needed as badly on farms as they are today and \to

taking I step backward and give the rural sections a
severe blow. The farmer 'must not lose sight of the
hot that with the federal government payint 50
per cent, the cities paying 65 per cent, leaves only
5 per cent of one-half of the cost. which makes a,
very light tax on the farmer.

mmv and make our Michigan the ﬁrst and best state

munities of any state in the union."—-J. E. Warner,

“Regarding your question as to whether road bonds
should be issued in 1922 I have answered "yes' not
because I believe that the idea is theoretically per-
fect bit because it seems to 'me the best and most
convenient way out of our present difficulties.

“First- The roads are an asset and I do not be—
lieve that the average man wants to see the program

halted. ‘

Second: It costs much more to build these roads
than it will to maintain them. and it is no more than
right that those who will use them during the next
ten .fr twenty years should help to stand this ex-

pause.

Third and most important of all: I believe ,that We
should all do what we can to stimulate thecirculation
of money. Last season our little county of Otsego
would have been flat on her back had it not been for
the road contracts which were the only enterprises
at work; many working men and many farmers teams
were furnished a job and it went a long way toward
saving the day; I would rather that my taxes amount~
ed to a hundred dollars and that it were possible to
earn that hundred; than that they amounted to only
tan with no prospect of raising the amount.

As soon as industry is again on its feet I should
favor curtailment of bonding; I do not want to see
the entire $50,000,000 floated but I am not averse
to seeing half or two thirds of it handled in this
manner.

{‘Regarding the proposed tax on gasoline: I believe
that it is the most practical suggestion yet advanced.
It is the automobile that tears up our roads and it is
the automobile that is demanding our trunk line sys-
tem; it is the automobile therefore that should pay
for the construction and maintenance of that system
as far “as is practical, and the gasoline tax reaches
to the heart of the problem by making him who uses
the road the most pay the greatest share of its cost.
The only practical objection that I have heard ad-
vanced is the argument that many gallons of gaso-
line are used in driving city streets where there. is
no highway funds expended. Now is it not poss1ble
to arrive at some plan whereby the city would get
enough of this tax fund to cover the amount of gaso-
line consumed in driving its streets? Having arrived
at such an_ arrangement, where is the injustice?-

“I drive an automobile an average of 25 mlles a
day all summer and over all kinds of roads; it is
my opinion that I would be money ahead at the end
of the season if I'paid a 5c gas tax and had surfaced
roads to drive over, as compared to_ dr1v1ng over _un-
improved sand and mud roads on tax-free gasolme.

WOULD REPEAL COVERT ACT

The supervisors unanimously agreed that the
Covert act should be repealed, and Commission-
er Rogers is equally convinced that the act should
be limited in the number of roads they can bulld
in any one period under this act. The cost of
building these roads falls upon a comparative
few and thousands of farmers assessed for Co-

vert road costs will not be able to pay them.

Much complaint is heard by the Business Farm-

er upon this subject. C. J., of Gladwm county,

writes: n at d
“Last fall the gravelled one and a half m es roa
running west 0 Beaverton under‘the Covert act. The
land on either side of the road is taxed for one m11e
back in forties. First forty, $52.30, and the next $40.33
and so on and the rest of the township pays nothing
for the road, We farmers along the road have the

'bulk of the taxes to pay. I have 160 acres, of which
80 runs along the road. My road taxes alone are $170.
My total taxes are $355 this year. The cost of build- ..
ing this stretch of road was $75,000 and there is not
a neighbor along here who can stand the taxes, What
are we to do? We don’t see any way to hold our

farms and pay such high taxes!“

of Barry county writes: “The Covert road
1.335.110 be repealed. I am assessed $1,021.07 on
a Covert road and it does not beneﬁt me one dollar.
I have no frontage. My road runs parallel to this

mad-.1,
COST PER MILE STILL HIGH ,

. Road building costs have come down some in
the last year. But they are still high. State
Highway Commissioner Rogers reported to the
supervisors that the program for'1922 called for
the construction of 673 miles of state trunk line
at a total estimated cost of $8,123,652.90 and
822 miles of federal aid roads at a total esti-
mated cost of $6,287,073.12, making a total con—
struction program of 995 miles at an approxi-
mate costof $14,410,726, or an average of
about $15,000 per mile. Part of this cost is
borne by the counties and townships and part
by the federal government, leaving the state’s ,
share at about $8,500,000. .

EXTRAVAGAN CE CHARGED

long period of time, oh, how easy it is to let it
slip through the ﬁngers. So there has undoubt-
edly been extravagance in the building of our
roads. ’

WHAT HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER SAYS:

'State Highway Commissioner Rogers gives
some interesting information on highway con-
struction. Mr. Rogers is considered to be one
of the most able highway chiefs in the country,
andhis opinions on road building are held in
high esteem- He says:

The legislature of 1921 appropriated $1,250,-
000 for paying state rewards in each of the two
ﬁscal years ending June 30, 1922, and June 30,
1923, which was as much money as had ever
been required in a single year before, but during

 
SUPERVISERS HIT EXPENDITURES

N order to place a proper estimate upon
I the weight of the highway verdict ren-
dered by the state association of sup-
ervisors in session last week it should be
remembered that only 153 supervisors
from 53 countim out of a possible 1,500
from 83 counties were present. A consid-
erable number of these came, from city
districts, so that the attitude of the asso-
ciation can hardly be taken as an evid-
ence of rural spirit. ‘

Following their endorsement of the
1922 road program the supervisors adopt-
ed a strongly-worded resolution demand-
ing greater economy in all civic business
and areduction in the number of boards,
commissions, salaries, etc.

The board approved of a. tax on gasoline
and urged a universal poll tax.

An attempt was made to put the super-
visors on record for capital punishment,
but when it was discovered that it would
be voted down, the sponsors wisely re-
frained from putting it to a vote.

 
the present ﬁscal year the counties and town-
ships have built upwards of 1,600 miles of road
on which more than $4,250,000 have been earned
in rewards. This is about four' times as many
roads as therewere funds to pay rewards with
and was largely due to the increased activities
under the Covert Act as noted above. Since many
of these roads were of a local nature, the State
Highway department, acting under the instruc-
tions of the Highway Advisory Board, requested
the counties to revise their ecunty road outlines
so as not to include more roads than would
be required to build around each three mile
square; in other words, allotting to each county
a total mileage which would be determined by
multiplying the number of surveyed townships
by twenty—four fractional townships counting pro
rate, from which both state trunk line and Fed-
eral Aid roads are to be deducted.

“The counties have revised their system in
accordance with this plan and this restriction will
very materially curtail the activities under the
Covert Act but probably will not be sufﬁcient to
slow down the county road building programs to
the extent that may be desired in view of the
heavy tax burdens at a‘ time when the country

. is not overly prosperous.

“In 1920, there were levied for state highway

purposes, in addition to the state’s share of the

money received from the licensing of automo—
biles, $2,203,505.15. This caused a state high-
way tax rate of 490 per thousand dollars of valu-
ation in 1920.. In 1921 «the state Highway com-
missioner reported to the legislature that on
account of the bond money being available, no
special state tax levy for highway purposes
would be necessary, because, in his ‘opinion, the
state’s portion of the money to be received from
the. licensing of automobiles, which would be
about $3,000,000, would be sufﬁcient to pay the
state’s portion.of trunk line maintenancei state
rewards on non—trunk line roads built by the
several townships and counties; the state’s por-
tion of the cost of the so-called ﬁfty—ﬁfty bridges
and for all \other departmental expenses not
directly chargeable to speciﬁc roads under con-
str-uction. 7 ,

. half of the state highway tax levied in 1920.

“It should be noted that there have been threb
Federal appropriations. The ﬁrst federal aid _ ,
was passed by congress in July, 1916, making an
appropriation of $75,000,000 of which $2,174,353
510.04 was allotted to Michigan. The second-T...
federal aid act making an appropriation of $200
000,000 was passed in February, 1919, andialé
lotted to Michigan $5,786,785.48. The third and
lust federal aid act was passed by c-Ongress 2‘
November, 1921, carrying an appropriation
$75,000,000 which gave to Michigan 32.29
532.43. These moneys are apportioned anion
the several states; one-third according to area:-
one—third according to post road mileage and”
one~third according to population, Michigan’s-
share under such diviéion being slightly under;
3 per cent. Thus, the total federal aid money...
made available for Michigan under the threer ,
acts will amount to $10,210,827.96 and since» *7
there is still available for placing under contract ,
nearly $5,000,000 of the federal money, it will‘v‘;
require an equal amount of state and county " 1
.money to match with it in order that it may be:
secured. This alone would require some $3,-
000,000 of the bond money to become available
July lst. Contracts are now outstanding which;
will require between one and one—half and two
millions more of this money so that were all con-
struction to cease during 1922, except enough
federal aid contracts to secure our allotment of
federal funds and to complete contracts out—
standing, it would require approximately $5,-
000,000 of the $10,000,000 referred to.’-’

PROGRAM WILL GO FORWARD

Despite the opposition of the farmers the 1922 '
program will go forward without change, for a
mighty lobby has been working in its behalf.
Both the governor and the highway commission-
er are committed to it, a large number ‘of the
members of the legislature are for it, every road
road building oﬁicial in the state wants it, and-'
automobile associations, chambers of commerce,
engineering societies, contractors, manufactur-
ers of road building equipment, and other large
and important interests have been working
avidiously to put it across.

Nor is the Business Farmer, prepared to say
that the 1922 program should not be consum—.
mated. The 1921 legislature authorized the
expenditure outlined by Mr. Rogers and acting
under that authority, surveys have been made,
plans completed, contracts let, and everything
put in readiness to start work with the ﬁrst
days of spring. But the Business Farmer is dis-
appointed and so are a great mass Off the farmers
that none of thosewho are so enthusiastic over,
good roads seem to give any thought to where
these enormous expenditures are going to lead
us and how they are going to be paid. ”Build
the roads,” is the cry, “and let the future genera-
tions pay for them.” When we talk of “future
generations” we may as well include nearly
everybody who is living today under 50 years of
age. It is proposed to retire these bonds in 20
years and all our readers who expect to live that
much longer will have to help pay for about $80,-
000,000 of state road bonds and interest and
$50,000,000 of bonus bonds and interest.

And in the meantime, under the stress of in-
creasing motor ,trafﬁc these roads will wear out- "
and will have to be repaired or rebuilt at anoth— '
er huge expense. If we are not careful we will
leave to our posterity a heritage of debts and
taxes which will crush them to the ground and,
bring their curses down upon our heads. Let
it not be thought that what we build today will
meet the requirements of tomorrow. Each gen-4.
eration in the past has had its own particular;
burdens to bear and unborn generations will:
have enough to do to pay the debts which they.
contract without having to worry about the debts"
cf their forebears. ' I

Right now, when every property-owner is feel? ‘

HUBAM CLOVER ON BAND

Will Hubarn clover produce well on
sandy soil? Would you advise sewing
on this kind of sum—Subscriber, Michi-
m.

Hubarn is a sweet clever whiCh
matures in a single season. It has
only been known for a few years
and its exact value has not been de-
termined. It is apparently a promis-
ing crop to grow for quick hay and
pasture. It is known to be one of
the best of honey crops.

Hubam clover is apparently adapt-
to a wide range of soil conditions
and instances of excellent growth
have been noted by us on light
Md! loans.

Hubam clover seed may be se-

cured from the Michigan State Farm
Bureau Seed Department of Lansing,
Mich., at comparatively low rates.»—

JEWISH HOLIDAYS

Will you please tell me if there are
any Jewish holidays in February or not,
or when are the Jewish holidays during
the year? Thank you—~F. G., Caro, Mich.

The Jewish holidays are celebrat-

endar, and hence they fall each year
on different dates of the’solar cal—
endar. This lunar calendar is used
for the purpose of celebrating the
religious festivals at the traditional
times of the year, and the tradition
relates to the lunar, and not the
solar year.

The principal Jewish holidays fall
during the year 1921-1922 as fol—

The tempering of steel tools con-
slain of two processes: First, harden-
ing by heating. then suddenly chill-
ing; and. second, “drawing the temp-
or” or softening from the chilled
state to the degree of hardness de-
sired. Inthecaseof the chisel
which we are considering, we need
to have only one end—Ithe edge——
hardened. To accomplish this, heat
the whole chisel to a dark or cherry

. red color, and holding it perpen-
dicularly over the water, dip e and
in an inch or more and keep it mov-
ing up and down .for a few seconds,
or until the edge is cool enough so
that the water will not ,‘dry on it for
the space of two seconds when it is
drawn out. Now polish one side

quickly with a piece of brick so that
the colors denoting the degree .of
heat may be seen. These colors will
form a band which will be seen to
move towards the edge or cooler part
of the tool. First will be seen a pale
yellow or straw color; than darker
yellow, which changes to brown;
thsnpurpie. then blue.

A cold chisel, needs to be quite
soft, so we will wait until the blue
gets to the edge; then quickly dip
the edge into the water again and
hold it there until the remainder of
the tool is cool enough so that we
may dip the whole without fear of
hardening it. Tools for woodwork,
such as carpenter's chisels and plans
irons, are tempered to a {straw color,
as they require a very hard edge in
order to be kept sharp—Professor
of Farm Mechanics, M. A. C.

Do you realize that the use of limestone is the one subject
’ on which all agricultural authorities agree?

Try to think of another method Or feature of farm opera-
tion which all authorities agree in supporting. "

The necessity for the use of limestone in securing proﬁtable
yields is admitted and urged by the agricultural colleges, by
county agents, experimental stations, farm papers, lecturers
——in_ fact, by every reliable source of farming information.

Have you ever thought of the subject of limestone in that
light before?

Have you ever considered the fact that, in delaying the
appliCation of limestone, you are going against the opinion
not of one authority or group of authorities, but against the
unanimous opinion of all authorities? ‘

In short, do you dare—can you afford to run the risk of
going through the coming season of low prices and small
proﬁts without taking advantage of the help limestone will
be to you in increasing your yields?

Alfalfa Must Have Lime

In the present great campaign of the Michigan Agricultural
College on alfalfa, it is stated deﬁnitely that lime must be
used on the largest percentage of Michigan land in order to
get satisfactory yields.

If you are planning to get the unquestioned beneﬁts and
proﬁts from growing alfalfa, you must begin by liming
your land.

Clover Must Have Lime '

Clover has always been a part of the short rotation of crops
on most Michigan farms. It is impossible to raise clover on

limestone.

Don’t think of these facts as merely advertising statements
of a concern trying to sell you limestone. They are facts
stated by your own agricultural college, by your own farm
bureaus, and county agents. Ask them.

Solvay Costs Less—Does More

Of course, there are several forms in which lime may be
applied. But by far the largest percentage of all Michigan
farmers using lime agree that Solvay Pulverized Limestone
is the cheapest and best form in the long run.

It is dry. This saves freight and haulage—the largest
items of expense in limestone use.

It is the most ﬁnely pulverized form of limestone known.
All of it is thus readily absorbed by the soil. No need to
wait'for its beneﬁts. Smaller quantities are necessary.

And it is produced by a company known and respected by
Michigan farmersma concern that can be absolutely. relied
upon for the purity of its product and fair dealing with its
customers.

Solvay Pulverized Limestone is one of the few if not the
only commodity bought by farmers on which the price was
never raised throughout the entire high-price area we have
been passing through. It is offered today at the same price
asked before the war.

- RURAL EDUCATION
HAVE read the article written by
a “taxpayer" in Genesee county,
in Dec. 3 issue, on the conSolidat—
ed school question, and he has my
vieWs exactly. 1 cannot see for the
life of me what has caused these
highly educated people who are

to have so much sympathy all at
once for “the farmers' children. They
have always tried to make the tarm-
er an under dog, now why so much
fuss over his oﬂspring? And what
are they going to do with the farm-
ers after they have driven them off
the farm by taxation! It takes a
mighty good farm and a mighty good
farmer to ”make a go of it now. It
will be a consolidated poor house
thatwﬂibenecdedinafewyears,
if I am any judge. Around Perry
and Morrice, where they have con-
solidated schools their taxes run
from $27 to $33 per 31,000. But
what does Mr. Johnson know or care,
about that He gets his salary paid
whether the farmer lives or not.
That is just the trouble with this
country; there are too many of thoso
would-be bosses, trying to show the
farmer how to spend his money,
whether he has got it to spend or
not.

But to come back to the “Am I
My Brother’s Keeper” part. I was
educated in a village high school,
having been reared in o. village, and
I know what it means to the chil-
dren to enter school, who cannot
dress properly or appear properly.
Now they are trying to rake up these
poor ragged kids from all the by-
roads and absolutely make them go
to town to school, whether they
want to go or not, and whether their
people can afford to dress them in
a manner that will not make them
a laughing stock, or not. How much
rather would these children, who are
unfortunate in worldly goods, stay
in their own districts than to be
poked fun at by the town smarties.
It seems to me that each district is
doing its bit in paying a larger part
of the tuition for high school train-
ing, when the children are ﬁnished
at “the little red school house," and
if they can not take advantage of
such a means to get their education,
it seems to me it would be something:
like Pres. Sperry, of Albion College
used to say: “Putting a $1,000 edu-
cation on 3 10¢ boy.”

Then to the idea of conveyance.
The way the Genesee taxpayer de-
scribed it was sure food for thought.
How much better for a child to walk
along the country road in the pure
fresh air (that the city folks rave

like sardines in those "busses" along
with children who are not taught
to cough or blow their noses pro-
perly, to say nothing about keeping
clean. I had much rather know that
a child was walking home on a coun-
try road than to be hanging around
town waiting for the older ones to
get cut and the bus to start. If temp-
tations ever reach the young mind,
it is when they are hanging around
with nothing to do.

To make a long story short, I can
not see why, if the rural districts
can afford to hire a competent teach-
er, keep up their school houses and
educate their children to the eighth
grade, then pay their tuition to high
school, they can not be allowed to do
so without so much howling. If the
local school boards could have the
privilege of running their districts
“hampered by these salaried guys,
there would not be so much discon-
tent; and no clear.minded farmer
would want consolidated schools.
But the commissioner comes around
and tells the teacher in the- rural
school, to tease the school board for
everything she can think of, then
tells the board to get along with
just as little as they can (even to try
to get along with one toilet) as we
are soon to have consolidated schools
and it won’t pay to incur any ex-

penses.

new, when». beans have been m

 
that he’ll be singing “How Door to
My Heart ~is the Little Red School
House" and he'll forget it’s “out of
date,” too. ‘

There is nothing that will drive
the children from the farm any
quicker than this burden of taxa-
tion. While the young man and wo-
man are trying to make a living on

the farm, let’s give them a chance

to make a life, and not always keep
their nose on the grind stone, and a
laughing stock for their dependents.

UST a few interesting statistics
J quoted fromoditorialpogooftho
February Pictorial Review nega-
sine, with Dr. Thomas D. Wood
Teachers’ College, Columbia Univer-
sity an authority for the ﬁgures and
all to show: ‘

Is rural education on par with
urban? Statistics say: No. The
ruralvckild does not have as good a
chance as the city child for develop-
ment and preparation for a useful
and happy lfio.

0! 30,000,000 children in the
United States, about 18,000,009 live
in rural districts. The percentage
of illiteracy in the country is twice
that of the city. The average school-
ternf is 140 days in the country and
180 days in the city and the aver-
age attendance is only 69 per cent in
the country and 80 per cent in the
city.

In some states it is found that
actual number of days missed by
boys ,and girls on account of farm
work (and here is the question 'of
child labor 'too) by far exceeds ab-
sence for any other cause. ,

In Michigan it is found that nearly
30 per cent..of the children were re-
tarded and that 86 per cent of 15-
year-old children in rural schools
were retarded.

Eight million children are in one
and two room schools in America
and there are ofer 200,000 such
buildings, many of which are in s
deplorable condition. y

We expend for the city school
children $40 per capita, for the rural
child but $24.

The rural child has from four to
eight weeks less of school term than
the city child. Meaning, in other
words the city children have eight
years of elementary schooling, while

 
their rural cousins, with less capable ‘

teachers and poorer equipment re-
ceive but six years.

Twenty-nine per cent of city chil-
dren complete the high school course
while only 5 per cent of rural chil-
dren reach that goal and 90 per cent
never even go beyond the rural
school.

In matters of health it is a sorry
fact that country children suffer by
far the more from ear defects, eye
defects, breathing defects and mal-
nutrition, 16 per cent of country
children are improperly fed and un-
dernourished which all tends to low-
ering the morals.

In “God’s great out of doors"
where health should abound we ﬁnd
these awful facts because of homo
and school conditions.

Give us better schools for our
farm child so he can compete with
the city child. Better schools mean
better homes.

Certainly the one room rural
school is not answering the purpose,
statistics say, and ﬁgures never lie.

mother and a has-been pupil and
teacher in both city and rural
schools, Pontiac, Mich.

THE TRIALS OF AN EDITOR
THOUGHT I would write you and

nianaArethewgetting too high
for you? For you said when beans
would sell for $8 or $10 a pound in
the city the farmer would get 6
cents a pound. Well I was in Bay
City two weeks before Christmas
and I went in a store and they were

were getting 00.16 a hundred

can see no reason for 'it and how
about the Russian relief buying mil-
lions of bushels of beans and beans
were a short crap all] around us.

I think that been ought to be
much higher for the hard work that
we had weeding, cultivating and har-
veuing and last of all sit by the
bean picker all winter picking them
so they wouldn’t skin us up entirely
picking ever beans about three times
what they ought to when beans pick
about 30 pounds how much will we
have left at the present price? Are
you really working to help the farm-
er or are you helping the big fel-
lows? Well, my husband started this
letter but I thought I had to say
something too, as I had to work so
hard in the beans last summer and
I know just what it is to raise them
as a farmer cannot afford to hire a

man at from 2 to 3 dollars a day at g

the low prices of grain and I could
not look this on any longer so I

thought I would eXpress my thoughts ‘

too. The city people were going by
in their big cars laughing to see a
woman in the ﬁeld but they didn’t
think how hard a farmer has to
work. Could tell you lots more but
am going to’ leave a. little space for
my husband yet. "

Well I have no beans to sell now
but I wish every farmer would get
a good price for his beans, who have
any left, which are very few, for if
beans were ﬁve dollars a bushel then
it would pay him to plant some. 1
think there is something wrong.

ESSENTIALS 0F CITIZENSHIP

T this present day, when worthy

citizenship is at a premium,

tint because of the prevail-

ing hanmfull results strung from

the too intense pursuit of material

possessions, causes the earnest in-

quirylbobemedoemducareful

search for the essentials, so abso—

MW necessary ibr the develop-
ment of thrifty citizenship.

It as the firm conviction of the
writer that there are three most
oweniillall of possessions if worthy
ditizenshlip is to result and these
ossenltiaﬂs are—Ability, Integrity
and Activity.

Most certain it is, if any one of
these ﬁbres essentials is absent. a
faulty character is the result. The
man. possessing ability and activity,
without integrity, is sure to go
mug. A goodly number of this
class cure now in the prisons of the
state. '

Aﬂso will he be a failure Who po-
ssesses ability and integrity, yet
lacking activity. is but a oumberer
of space. Again, the possession of
lilnbegrrity and activity will not be
h‘bﬂe to amompﬂlisih worth-ﬂy because
Of ﬂocking iihte element so essential
nor the accomplishment of worthy
results.

There is, today, an imperative

The question as to whether the.
world is growing better at this pres-
ent day, is being considered and with
a ﬁltering of views. upon this-im-
portant matter and while there is
evidence to sustain a favorable
view, of line important question, it
is to be regretted that there is much,
in present conditions, to sustain the
view that evil is in the ascendency.

THE WAY WOMEN DRESS

reference to the letter by Uncle
. Rube Spinach, published in your

paper of Feb. 11, I think it a ri-
diculous shame for any man or wo-
man to u'phold the young women of
today in the styles or fashions they
are wearing. Although there are
some innocent girls who wear such
clothes. Such undue exposure as
seen on the streets today will arouse
the passions of any live young man.
The result is the girls are going
wrong and becoming mothers before
they are married. Some get mar-
ried to save themselves from dis-
grace, and a good many of these are
divorced in a short time.

Divorce is wrecking thousands
of homes every year, and every year
it is getting worse.

Any woman can dress modestly
and sensib‘ly and still be comfort-
able. In fact there can’t be any
comfort in some of the modern
fashions.

We need some reformers to cry
out against the wickedness of this
nation, for unless there is a general
turning back to God and the old
time religion thiscountry will slow-
ly fall.

Tell Uncle Rube to wake up and
look around at the way things are
going. Read the accounts in the
newspapers, it's alarming the things
that are taking place today.

I‘am not a reformer nor a preach-
er, but just a simple farmer, but to
publish anything like that arouses
my indignation—L. W.

HONEST PERIODICAJB
OGER BABSON, whose forecast-
ing of business has general ac-
ceptance, says that within ten
years a fourth of American farmers
will be bankrupt. The Secretary of
Agriculture says that under present
conditions farming can not endure.
Very generally, farms are kept going
by money made away from' the
forum-the old man and his team
work on automobile roads; his
daughter teaches school.

In the cities, not in Europe only
but new in America, people starve.
Millions of American men, women
and. children now enter from lack
of food; every investigation proves
it. To get the food, they would have
to pay more than they can earn;
it is not the farmer that gets such
prices, that gives so little for their
money. Most farmers are destroy-
ing food in one way and another
because it will not pay the expense
of marketing.

If farmers controlled the govern-
ment, there would be a “truth in
fabric" law: they do not control.
Railroad workers and coal miners
can testify that wage earners do not
control the government. Farmers
and wage earners have an easy ma—
jority; the others are few. If the
few control, if there is a dictator-
ship by a minority, that is Bolshe-
vism; that is what Bolshevism is.

The means by which a minority
controls in America has been demon—
strated again and again. Peri—
odicals, for example, require the larg-
er investment, and periodicals obey
their masters. Not all periodicals
are controlled, or this article would
not be printed. When a reader ﬁnds
an honest periodical, he has found
what he may not easily ﬁnd again.
It is for misinformation and mis—

leading counsel that the mass of
Americans now pay.
The Michigan Business Farmer

has told the truth about taxation.
The excess proﬁts tax and the surtax
are not paid directly or indirectly
by anybodywho can not afford to
pay. It is because these taxes fell
upon the rich that the campaign
against them is so well ‘ ﬁnanced.
The Michigan Business Farmer
might have added something to its
resources. If it was offered nothing,
that was a. high compliment.

This matter of taxation is not a
theoretic thing that a farmer may
overlook or leave to politicians.
What is at stake is, who pays for the
war? If farmers and wage earners
can be made to pay that tidy sum,
they will not live long enough to
get their noses off the grindstone.
The way to make them pay it is to
misinform them and mislead them.

Regularly, a paper that opposes
the excess proﬁts tax wants labor
deﬂated. Farmers are urged to op—
pose the railroad workers in order
that transportation may be cheap—
er. The Michigan Business Farmer
has not taken that position. Lower-
ing the cost of transportation need
not be at the sole expense of work—
ingmen. Henry Ford has proved
this in practice as others have by
ﬁgures. A bill was introduced in
congress to limit the salaries of rail-
road ofﬁcials .to the generous maxi—
mum of $15,000; but that proposal
received little publicity.

There is a direct relation between
wages and the returns from farm-
ing. This also, though demonstrat—
ed and known, is little emphasized
in propaganda aimed at either wage
earners or farmers. When wages
are high, farming is proﬁtable:
general,
farming does not pay. When farm-
ing prospers, it competes powerfully
for- labor by offering a choice be-
tween good wages and emancipation
from wages. When farming loses,
it sends men to cities to compete
for jobs. '

“Labor needs capital and capital
needs labor. The farmer needs
capital and capitaln‘eeds the farm-
er." Capital is everybody’s friend.
The wage earner is told that he
wants lpwe cost of living; he does.

After that she cuddled the
up in her arms, and put out the
light, and went to bed; and
all the hours of the night Miki made
no sound that would 'waken them.
In the morning, when Nanette
opened her eyes, she found Miki
with his head resting on the edge
of the bed, close to the baby that
was nestled against her bosom.
Thatmorningasshebuﬂttheﬁre,
something strange and stirring in
Nanette’s breast made her sing. Le
Beau would be away until dark that
night, and she would never dare to
tellhim what she and the baby and
the dog Were going to do. It was her
birthday. Twenty-six; and it seemed
to her that she had lived the time
of two lives! And eight of those
years with The Brute! But today
they would celebrate, they three. All
the morning the cabin was filled
with a new spirit—a new happiness.
Years ago, before she 'had met Le
Beau, the_Indians away back on the
Waterfound had called Nanette
“Tanta Penashe” (“the Little Bird")
because of the marvellous sweetness
of her voice. And this morning she
sang as she prepared the birthday
feast; the sun ﬂooded through the
windows, and Miki whimpered hap-
pily and thumped his tail, and the
baby cackled and crowed, and The
Brute was forgotten. In that for-
getfulness Nanette was a girl again,
sweet and beautiful as in those days
when old Jackpine, the Cree—who
was now dead—had told her that
she was born of the ﬂowers. The
wonderful dinner was ready at last,

Ilsa-in.

So the day passed until mid—after-
noon. when Nanette cleared away all
signs of the celebration and locked
Miki in his cage. It was fortunate
she was ahead at time, for scarcely
was she done when Le Beau came
into the edge of the clearing, and
with his was Duran-t, his acquaint-
ance and rival from the edge of the
Barrens farther north. Durant had
sent his outﬁt on to Port 0’ God by
an Indian, and had struck south and
west'wi'th two dogs and a sledge to
visit a cousin for a day or two. He

Thus much Le Beau toid Nanette,
and Nanette lo’oked at Durant with
startled eyes. They were a good
pair. Jacques and his guest, only
that Durant was-older. She had be-
come somewhat accustomed to the
brutality in Le Bean’s face, but she
thought that Durant was a monster.
He made her afraid, and she was
glad when they went from the cabin.

ran away—and did not come back?.

He\wmmpered softly.

The afternoon was almost gone,

and the early gloom of mid-winter ,

night in the Northland was settling
thickly over the forests. In that
gloom the dark face of Durant ap-
peared at the bars‘of Miki’s prison.
Instinctively‘ Miki had hated this fox-

hunter from the edge of the Barrens, ,

just as he had hated Le Beau, for in
their brutish faces as well as in their
hearts they were like brothers. Yet
he did not growl at Durant as he
peered through. He did not even
move.

“Ugh! le diable!” shuddered Du-
rant. , _

Then he laughed. It was a low,
terrible laugh, half smothered in his
coarse beard, and it sent an odd
chill through Miki.

He turned after that and went
into the cabin.

Nanette rose to meet him, her
great dark eyes glowing in a face
dead white. She had not yet risen
above the shock of Le Beau’s tragic
death, and yet in those eyes there
was already something re—born. It
had not been there when Durant
came to the cabin with Le Beau that
afternoon. He looked at her stran-
gely as she stood with the baby in
her arms. She was another Nanette.
He felt uneasy. Why was it that a
few hours ago he had/lauged boldly
when her husband had cursed her
and said vile things in her presence
-—-and now he could not meet the
Dieu! he
had never before observed how lovely
she was! He drew himself together,
and stated the business in his mind.

“You, will not want the dog,” he‘
said. “I will take him away.”

Nanette did not answer. She
seemed scarcely,r to be breathing as
she looked at him. It seemed to him
that she was waiting for him to ex-
plain; and then the inspiration to
lie leapt into his mind.

“You know, there was to be the
big ﬁght between his dog and mine
at. Post Fort 0’ God at the New Year
carnival,” hewent 'on, shuffling his
heavy feet. “For that, Jacques—your
husband—was training the wild dog.
And when I saw that oochun—that
Wolf devil—tearing at the bars of
the cage I knew he would kill my
dog as a fox kills a rabbit. So we
struck a bargain, and for the two
cross foxes and the ten red which I
have outside I bought him.” (The
vraisemblance of his_ lie “gave him
courage. It sounded like truth, and
Jacques, the dead man, was not
there'to repudiate his claim.) "so
he is mine,” he ﬁnished a little ex-
ultantly, "and I will take him to
the Post, and will ﬁght him against.
any dog or wolf in all the North.
Shall I bring in the skins, madame?’_’

“He is not for sale,” said Nanette,
the glow in her eyes deepening. “He

“And “When" You reach Post Fort
0’ God, -m's1eu, you will tell is Fac-
teur that Jacques is dead, and how
he died, and say that some one must
We
will stay here until then.” ‘

. He had never seen her like that.
He wondered how Jacques Le Beau
cOuld swear at her, and strike her.
For himself, he was afraid. Stand-
ing there with those wonderful eyes
and white face, withthe‘baby in her
arms, and her shining hair over her
breasts, she made him think of a
picture he had once seen of the Bles-
sed Lady.

He went outthrough the door and
back to the sapling cage where Miki
lay. Softly he spoke through the
bars.

“Ow, bete,” he called; “she will
not sell you. She keeps you because
you fought for her, and killed mon
ami, Jacques Le Beau. And so I
must take you my own way. In a

'little while the moon 'will be up,

and then I will slip a noose over
your head at the end of a pole, and
will choke you’ so quickly she will
not hear a sound. Anr who will
know where you are gone, if the
cage door is left open? And you
will ﬁght for me at Post 0’ God.
Mon Dieu! how you will ﬁght! I
swear it will do the ghost of Jacques
Le Beau good to see what, happens
there.”

He went away, to where he had
left his light sledge and two dogs
in the edge of the timber, and wait-
ed for the moon to rise.

Still Miki did not move. A light
had appeared in the window of the
cabin, and his eyes were ﬁxed on it
yearningly as the low whine gath—
ered in his throat again. His world
no longer lay beyond that window.
The woman and the baby had obli—
terated in him all desire but to be
with 'them.

In the cabin Nanette was thinking
of‘ him—and of Durant. The man’s
words came to her again, vividly,
signiﬁcantly: “You will not want the
dog.”/Yes, all the forest people
would say that' same thing—even
le Facteur himself, when he heard.
She- would not want the dog! And
why not? Because he had killed
Jacques Le Beau, her husband, in
defence of her? Because he had freed
her from the bondage of The Brute?
Because God has sent him to the end
of his chain in that terrible momen
that the baby Nanette might grow
up with laughter on her lips instead
of sobs? In her there rose suddenly
a thought that fanned the new ﬂame
in her heart. It must have been 1e

' bone Dieu! Others might doubt, but

she—never. She recalled all that Le
Beau had told her about the wild
dog—how for many days he had
robbed the traps, and the terriﬁc
ﬁght he had made when at last he
was caught. And- of all that The
Brute had said there stood out most
the words he had spoken one day.
“He is a devil, but he was not born
of wolf. Non, some time, a long
time ago, he was a white man’s dog."‘
A white man’s dog! .

How Exports Aﬁect Prices

HERE has been a good deal of discussion
_ ' in these columns over the eﬂfect of ex-
' port trade in farm products upon domestic
prices. Some readers profess to beheve that
inasmuch as the farmer gets only a compara-
tively small portion of the export price, ex-
port business might just as well be done away
with altogether. The Business Farmer has
taken the position that the indirect effect of
export trade upon all domestic prices is. far
more important than any direct pecumary
beneﬁt the farmer might receive from such
transactions. At the same time the Business
Farmer believes “' that everything possible
~.. should be done to put the farmer in control
' . of the export and of his business that he may
1 receive a greater direct beneﬁt from the same
:3 than/he does under the present system. The
Agricultural Commission which was appoint-
ed some months ago to ﬁnd out what’s wrong
'w'ith agriculture, has made an interesting re-.
port upon the influence of export business on
domestic prices. From that report is taken
this striking statement:

“In “assessing the importance of exports as a
factor [in determining the price of the domestic
product, it must be remembered that agricultural

' products for the most part are produced insur-
pluu quantities and that 1a relatively inmnmder-
able dnlcreaxse or decrease iln exports has a more
Q then correspondingly great [influence upon prices.
The great economist, Gregory King, has estimat-
’ ed ﬂint a. deficiency of one-tenth mu increase
the priliee ﬂhree—tenﬂhs ﬂuid that a deﬂdascy of
“two-tenths will increase the price eight-tenths.
The same can apply to surpluses. Exceu- pm—
ductiom, therenore, unless absorbed by exports
.m to depress the price in much the some
Mo.”

Raising the Bonus

AISING the bonus promises to be as hard

3 job as raising an ornery bull, and the
‘neighbors” are about as free with their ad-
vice on how it should be done. Wall Street
and the President suggest a sales tax and
Congress Insight flirt with the suggestion were
it not for the fact that a congressional elec-
tion is not many moons away. But the dem-
ocrats are getting gaunt and hungry. and the
adoption of a sales tax by a Republican con-
grass would make the ﬁnest kind of polrtrcal
lvprovemder. So congress puts the temptation

mum bonus question over to the next
session. But the soldiers want their bonus
whentheyneed it. And thou-ears so
wefthem. And they all have a vote.

And so forth and so on. Letter after letter

and information on every subject known ti;
mortal man, pleading for assistance. As we
read we catch the heartaches of you folks
Whom we love and serve. The sun goes bei-
hind a cloud and the day is utterly mined.
But once in awhile there shines forth from
that stack of letters a . gem which radiates
hope-and optimism. Take, for instance, that
letter of Mrs. Palmer’s which, came last week
from Good Hart, a little village in Emmet
county, overlooking Lake Michigan. She
writes: . .
We are subscribers to the M. B. F. and like

it very much. We are but small] farmers, but man- ,

, age to who a Mimic more mam enough to make

Far from. neighbors, snow-bound part of the
time, farming in a small way, not very much
to do with, but happy! Has this woman
learned the secret of true contentment?
ALL that was lacking to make the annual

meeting of the Michigan Allied Dairy
Association a glorious success were the farm-
ers. The exhibits were ﬁne; the progam was
’ excellent. The milk distributors were there,
and the mufaetureres of ice cream, condem-
ed milk and all-the other dairy products
mingled jovially with the makers of ﬂry
machinery and utensils. Every m of
the industry was represented but the most

every effort is made to activities the W
firmer that the. present methods of marketing
milk and its products arethe Ingest em
and economical that can be devised, ,
With all of these objects. except the last,
the Business Farmer is in perfect accord.
We all ought to know each other better, and
then we would understand each other better.
The. farmer is still a. long way from attaining
perfection in his products, and the public
is woefully ignorant of What milk. really is
and can do for the human body. And we
have no objection to the manufacturers show-
ing their wares. Farmers are always inter- '
-ested in these things. But We do object most
strenuously to what is perhaps the principal
motive of these conventions, to quiet the
.. farmers’ dissatisfaction over existing market-
ing methods and convince him that he can’t
dorlany better. 3
Farmers haVe every excuse to qfestion the
spread ’twixt producer and consumer. It is
too large. And in the majority of cases term-
ers’ amoeiaﬁom, properly organized md ad-
equately financed, can do a better and cheap-
er job of manufacturing and distributing
than em'sting corporations. We are not, there-
fore in sympathy with the subtle aims of
those who comprise the Michigan Allied Dairy
Association. And judging from the attend-
ance at the last convention neither are the

farmers.
IN discussing the difﬁculties that list in the,
way of an early agreement between beet
growers and manufacturers with respect to
the coming season’s crop, “Facts About Su-
gar,”_ suggests that the “sliding scale con:
tract is the most equitable of all,” but' re-
marks that a principal reason why it has not
been more universally adopted is a “prefer-
ence on the part of the. grower himself for an
arrangement under which he will receive a
ﬁxed price for his beets.”

This is hardly a fair statement of the facts.
Some farmers prefer the ﬁxed minimum.
Others a; sliding scale from zero upwards. The
principal objection to the kind of a sliding
scale with which we are familiar in Michigan is
not that it carries no assurance of guarantee,
but that it does, not/slide equally for both part-
ies to the contract. The manufacturers’ no-
tion of fairplayie admirably illustrated in the ‘
sliding scale contract in vogue in this state.
For every increase of one. cent per pound in
the price of sugar the manufacturers give the
farmers $1 a, ton more for their beets. They
keep for themselves $1.40. \

' Give the fam‘brs an even split in the proﬁt.
of the beet sugar-industry and they’llgoen
even split in the lowes. . .

’ are sufﬁcient to turn the lelhge
. from) a healthy green to a beautiful
mange, followed by crinkling. As
the disease progresses the leaves be-
'come red and drop off.

Spores form and when ripe are,

distributed to the wind in other
leaves. Those forming last in the

season pass the winter on leaves or .

on the ranches at the tree.

As so u as the buds swell in the
spring the spores come to life. If
they ﬁnd a way between the scales
that cover the bud they get into the
leaf. After this no amount of spray-
ing can prevent mischief. A leaf
once inoculated is doomed.

The life history of the disease
suggests the remedy. Spraying
should‘be done early, before the
buds have begun to swell. After
the leaves ‘are 01! in the fall 'is
really the safest time. If the work
is left till spring the weather is

frequently unfavorable or the
ground is too soft, so the spraying.
is delayed too long for the best re-
sults. An application of a fungicide
in the fall will clean the trees of the

j winter spores as well as thought ap—
plied in the spring and usually the
conditions for spraying are as fav—
vorahle or more so.

If there are any scale insects it
is of course advisable to spray with
lime—sulphur, using it at the rate of
one gallon of the commercial solu-
tion to seven gallons of water, or of
a corresponding strength, it the dry
lime-sulphur is used. But if there is
no scale one-fourth of this strength
is sufﬁcient. - .

For a fungicide alone copper sul-
phate solution has the ﬁrst place. If
it is applied to trees having no foli-
age it is used at the rate of a pound
to 50 gallons. No lime should be
used. This will kill the spores of
funge, though having no effect on
scale'or any form of insect life.

‘ It should be kept in mind that
sprays of the strength mentioned are
for dormant trees alone. They
would not be safe to apply after the
peach leaves are‘but. The foliage
of the each is tender. Neither lime—
sulphur nor copper sulphate should
be used. Bordeaux mixture cannot
be used with safety. If the weather
conditions are just right a tree may
escape injury, but the chances are
against it. Probably it will lose its
leaves.

Where there are only a few trees
and no sprayer at hand good results
can be obtained by sprinkling with
an old broom. This is a crude
method, but if by that means the
leaves can be kept from disease i
is worth all the trouble. Without
healthy foliage there will be little
or no fruit and few or no fruit buds
another year.

Professor Pickering, of Harvard Uni-
may, U. -S. A., declares that the
moon is not dead.

[He believes that life is possible on
the “silvery- orb,” and that recent
Observations have revealed actual
areas of vegetation.

. According to the professor, two
crops of this vegetation "grow every
day on the moon. A “moon day”
. consists of fourteen of our days, and
” ‘all that time the sun is shining on

the moon without any period of“,

darkness.

‘ The much discussed craters of the
,moon hold supplies of water, says
‘aBro'fessor Pickering, and by the aid
of a large telescope he has actually

i. ,, ~ When the moon emerges from its

sun's rays quickly heat the surface
' of the moon, and start fungus-like
growths.

The prbfessor argues that life ex-
ists on the planet. It is probably
unlike anything on our own planet.
Nevertheless, we get a set-back to
our conceit when we realize that we
are “not the only pebbles on the
beach”!’——London Answers.

WHO IS THE PAGAN?

IL, I will try and express my
feelings in a poor way. Your

oaper sure is a dandy. Would .

not think of getting along without it.
Sorry did not hear of it before.
When it arrives I just stop and read
it. You get every lady’s opinion,
weigh them all] over and ﬁnd we
are all liable to guess wrong at
times. Even our Mr. Foster. Also
our market predictions \are a little
in error.

Have read the “Broken Wing” de-
bate, the cousins troubles, Uncle
Rube’s ideas, y'our Ohio girl’s side
who put on dad’s boots and hauled
in corn, the young man that was al-
ways slicked up——say, it is equal to a
Free Methodist prayer meeting.

Now along comes a man that hon-
estly put his name at the bottom.

Most people puts their “Z_ O.” or “A .

Friend" but mind you he put his
John Henry in full and call the most
of the women heathen. Now he is a
man after my own heart. He said
what he honestly thought. Say, I
read it, called wife in and got my
specks on and read it to her. The
redeemed (or church) "doesn’t care
what the other people do. Now if the
church does not care, who does?
I notice they take everybody’s
money. He did not say the men
were pagans, just the women.

Now, I think the hand that rocks
the cradle should help make the
laws. They surely have helped a
great deal and so has the church but
not the redeemed according to Thos.
H.’s opinion. I think there is a mis-
take some place. He either mis—
understood your stand or I got him
wrong. Christ came to save the
pagan. The redeemed did not need

’ him, they were safe. When I read
anything so radical I think of the
old verse, “There is \so much good
in the worst of us and so much bad
in the best of us that it stands ill
for any of us to speak bad of the
rest of us." Most stones bound back.

My dad preached 25. years, my
uncle, grandfather, also my only
sister’s husband are all men of the
broadcloth. They surely would not

have left us at home for weeks go- »

ing out to preach and pray for the
sinners, if the church does not care.
Now we have a Roosevelt family.
We know that youngsters must have
amusements. If the church will not
interest them who does? Some of
ours dance. Some would enjoy Sun—
9 day school, but mind you, they think
' Miss has better and nicer
I clothes. One of the boys goes regul-
like to but it is too far. So the
drawing line is a little weak. _

Don’t think that the brother can
get many converts by throwing his
vinegar around. That word “Pagan"
is a bad one to use.

Canning~Meat, Not Cold Pack -

Having read requests for recipes for
canning meat, I wish to give mine. The
cold pack method seems to me a' lot of
work. ~ ‘
~' First I put my cans on the warming
closet, then put the meat in the oven:
salt it like any roast. When done out
the meat just so the pieces go nicely in
the can, pack tightly and pour the hot
drippings over the meat in the cans. Fill
the cans. I take a knife and pack the
meat down so all the spaces are ﬁlled
Screw tight... This meat is the very ﬁnest.
When you wish to
use a can put in a warm place and it will
come out easily. The gravy is fine. I'
used pork, but think any meat could .be
canned this way if there is fat enough,—

Canning Corn ,

I very seldom answer any subscribers
query in any magazine and this summer
when someone asked for a recipe for
canning com I let “George"- (or shall
I say “Katie”) do it; as usual. But when
I saw but one answer, the I might have
missed some, I felt sorry I hadn't sent
in my recipe- The one one I saw printed
used “Mrs. Price’s Canning Powder” but
you can put 11]) com without it—so why
nae it—and the corn keeps too, and is
dan’d‘y. I know for I have been putting it
up this way for 10 years. Here it is:
9 cups raw corn (cut off of ooh). 1
cup sugar (granulated). 1-2 cup salt
(cearSe is best), 1 pint water. (Boil 1-8
hour after it comes to the boiling point.
Put in strillzed glass cans and seal at
once. Before using pour off‘juice and
freshen about two hours,

This year in additiou to this method,
we cold—packed corn and this kept ﬁne

Making Solp

We take the M. B. F. and like it very
much, as anybody finds lots of help in it.
But now I come to ask for a help. Has
any one of you had any trouble in making
soap, cold process? I made some but it
spoiled. I have followed directions given
on lye box.‘ The lye settled down and
grease was on top when cooling. Have
any of you ever had this trouble? What
can I do with it? Can I make it so it

.'would be better or can. I _take up the

grease on top and use it for other soap?
My mother, makes a nice soap. I got
a recipe from her known as the "boiling
process." It_ is as follows: 5 1—2 quarts
soft water, 1 can lye. 5 pounds grease.
I‘made that but had the same results a! "
with the above. cold process. This soa‘p
shou d be boiling until thick but it never
got ick, only settled on the bottom'of
pan after boiling about 2 1-2 hours. Can
any of you help me? I would be obliged

EAR CHILDREN: I feel happier
this week because the one dear
to me who was- very ill last

week is now out of danger and on
the road to recovery. We all love
our people but when they enjoy good
health continually we often become
so absorbed in our work that we ne-
glect to show our love for them. But
when they become ill and are near
death then we think how we love
them and how we have neglected
to show it. I sometimes think God
takes this way, many times, to
awaken us.

Nellie Inman, whose letter is
printed on this page this week,
makes some very good suggestions
about writing interesting letters. At
the same time she sets a ﬁne exam-
ple. I hope I may receive more such
letters as this one. She asks about
sending pictures to the Children’s
Hour. I. shall be pleased to receive
as many pictures of yourselves, your
pets and your homes as you 'care to
send but I cannot promise that they

, be published because we have

so little space (not even a full page
for the Children’s Hour) but I
should. like to receive them to keep.
It seems that I know you better
when I have seen a picture of you.
Will you not send me some?

What do you suppose? I received
3 valentines. And they were all so
nice thatI can not say which is the
prettiest. There is the one I men-
tioned last week from Edna McIn-
tyre, Kawkawlin, one from, Master
Dick Hewlett, Alanson, and one from
Myrtle Bearss, Owendale. Please
accept my thanks for remembering
me. And now just a word to Mast-
er Dick: I like the valentine you sent
me, Dick, even better than the card
I received from you on my birthday
because you made the valentine
yourself and I realize the time and
care you took to make it. Dick
writes often to me. Why do not
others of you write more than once?
Your letters are aways welcome——

I was only seven years old when we were
out there but I can remember quite a
lot of things I wish some of the boys
and girls would write to me. I would
try and answer all letters. What is it
that comes with an auto, goes with an
auto, is no use to an auto and yet the
auto cannot run without it? Wishing
success to the M. B. F, and Uncle Ned
——Pea.rl Campbell, Hesperia, R, 5, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—I would like to be-
come one of your circle of happy friends.
I do not agree with Marion Weeks that
we should write more of our lives. This
is a farm circle of friends and we wish
to know of each other. I am not a farm
girl but I live in a small town and my
father has a farm out of town a short
distance. In town we keep a few horses
and a cow. My father's farm is of about
180 acres. We hava about 15 head of
cattle, 10 horses, 15 pigs, 70 sheep and
40 chickens. In town I have a little pony
named Queene that I Would not part with
for anything. My birthday is .the 4th
of August I am 13 years old and in the
seventh grade Have I a twin? Will
close with love to cousins and Uncle Ned.

young calf is indigestion. or
secure. Naturally «the digestive
system of the young call is weak and
is very easily upset. The old adage,
“An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," is very applicable
here.

There are two kinds of scours that

commonly etect the young calf—-

white scours, sometimes called. cal!
cholera, and common scours, caused
from indigestion.
is a Contageeus form, and if the
calf becomes elected at All it is
within a. few days after bdrth. The
germs gain entrance to the body
through the umbilical cord soon after
birth. The remedy for this disease
is a preventive one, and the best way
to insure against it is to keep the
stalls and pens cleaned. Stalls used
for calving purposes should be
cleansed and disinfected after each

should be taken by tying 0. string
around the navel cord of the young
calfimmediately after it is born, and
applying some good disinfectant to
the exposed parts. .

The common scours. or indiges-
tion. may usually be traced to faulty
methods in teeding the young calf.
The principal causes are as follows:
overfeeding, feeding cold milk, in
regular feeding. feeding alfalfa or
other highly nitrogenous bay to the
young calf, using dirty pulls, and
dirty stables.

The ﬁrst sign of indigestion or
scours among cults is usually the
characteristic foul-smelling dung.
When a cot! shows the ﬁrst signs
of scours the milk should be reduced
one-half or more, and then gradual-
ly increased again as the calf im-
proves. This method 'of treatment
is usually euﬂicient boobed: s. mild
case. There have beﬁh many reme-
dies suggested for treatment of the
scours, and all are used with more
or less success. The feeding of dried
blood to calves has proved very effec-
tive. This may be fed by adding a
teaspooniul of soluble dried blood to
the milk and stirring it up well.
Dried blood not only acts as a tonic,
but often is fed along with milk at
each feed on account of its feeding
value as well as its value as pre
ventive treatment against the scours.
A fresh egg given the calf when the
scours is ﬁrst noticed often checks
the attack. Castor oil is also used
.with good results. Two tablespoon-
' fuls is sufﬁcient (or 0. dose. This may
be given as s. drench mixed with
milk.

is. Then the wage earner ﬁnds to
his surprise that his fortunes have
not improved, though some fortunes
have. Next, the farmer is told that
he wants cheap transportation; he
does. Labor must be deflated. The
fact is that every gain made by labor
is a gain tor farming; beneﬁt to the
farmer from lowering a wage scale
can not last if it comes at all.

When the farmer might have
cheap hired men, he and his mmily
can not make money enough to pay
them. The farmer does not pay
wages to the farm family; the taxes

will make. Labor donates the farm-
er, and the farmer takes the labor-
er’s job. The farmer receives wages
that be has helped to deﬂate. In
big dollars, the farmer and the wage
earner pay back the little dollars
that the rich gave for their bonds.

the progressiveness of the dairymen
of Antrim gpunty when they are wil-
ling to make the considerable ‘ei'fort
necessary to operate an association
under their conditions, their herds
being small and far apant. They
realise the necessity for knowing the
productive ability of the individual
cow in their herds before they on
expect to dairy proﬁtably. Many
agreeable surprises and some not so
agreeable have been experienced by
the members during the year that
the production of their cows was set

OONCRME HEN HOUSE .
I ,want to build a hen house large

, Mlﬂmeomdnhm

build it of concrete but some tell me it

would be too damp. Is this truer—«I. M..
' ville. Mich.

It has not been our practice to ad-
vocate the use of concrete in the
building of hen houses. It is poo
siblo however, to make a cement
ﬂoor which will bet/dry provided it
is properly constructed. Proper
construction means that there must
be something between the cement
and the moist ground to prevent
water from comiig in contact with
the cement. This is usually done by
placing several inches of gravel
under the cement or by putting a
layer of tar, paper between the ﬁrst
and second layers of the cement.
Poultry houses having the walls of
cement are very much inclined rto_be
cold and damp, and since cement has
the characteristic of allowing water
to' pass through it easily it is not
considered advisable to use it in the
construction of poultry houses—-
Geo. F. Davis, Assistant in Poultry
Husbandry, M. A. C.

HENS BECOME LAME

We are having trouble with our hens.
They are fat and seem to be in good
health when all of a sudden one of them
will become lame in one leg. They grad-
ually- get worse. lose weight and die.
do you think about iti—H. W.,
Clio, Mich.

You might be suspicious of tuber-
»culosis. These clinical
coincide exactly with those of tuber-
culosis. However a postmortem is
necessary to be absolutely sure at
the trouble. If the liver, gaﬂl blad-
der and intestines show the typical
lesions or tuberculosis nodules
which are whitish in color with a.
yellowish center. If this condition
prevails it is a positive indication. of.
the presence of tuberculosis. The
treatment will depend on the sever-
ity of the trouble. If the mortality
is high indicating a general infec-
tion the quickest possible way, to,
eliminate it is by disposing of all the
stock. The healthy appearing birds
can be marketed and all that are
light or under-weight should be
killed and either burned or buried
in quicklime. The house should be
thoroughly disinfected, provided
with an abundance of ventilationThe
ground should be thoroughly cov-
ered with lime and poultry should
not be returned on the premises for
two or three months. The young
stock should be reared on new soil
away from any possible. hence of in-
fection. If sanitary mea res pre-
vail and good vigorous healthy stock A
are secured one does; not need to
worry a great deal about tubercu-
losis or any other poultry disease.—

try Husbandry. M. A. 0.

LIVINGSTON (E.)—Cheer up good
farmers, the first sign of spring has
001716: early potatoes have started to
sprout. Better times are on the way now
as tax time is about over. The prices of
farm produce are advancing to cheer up
the farmer so he will dig in for another
summer. The ground is well frozen

benefit to the Winter grain in this section
of the country—J. W. 0., Feb. 17: .

coming. Plenty of cold weather. Farm—
ers are not doing much only keeping their

acreage this spring—Wm. A. Jenkins.
Feb 16.

ARENAG——At this writing the ground
is covered with snow and more winter-
like than at times. It has been a very
hard winter on grains as the ﬂreezing
will surely heave it out in the spring.
Beans sure did advance some and at this
writing are around $4.60 per own. at
the Farmers” Elevator at Omer. Mich.,
ﬁfteen cents higher than most anywhere
else in the county. Farmers busy getting
up wood, cutting ice, drawing in a few

rtlng tight for higher prices. Some farms

changing hands, few auctions—M. B.

[Russel], Feb. 14, ‘

cold in this section. Thermometer
around zero all week. Not much produce

halted shipping of potatoes. 1,700 bushels

., received for shipment at (meboyigan (mo
week ago. two carloaxls shipped out from
Wolverine to Pittsburg. M. A, C. expert
gave land clearing lecture through this
county last week —M. G. F., Feb. 17

KAIJASKA—Farmers are not doing
much except chores; a. few are putting
up ice and a. few are working .in the
lumber com We had hard winds last-
week and the weather was very cold and
stormy. We have about 28 inches of snow
and the roads are not very good. Farm
sales hm been few this winter and not
but a few auction sales. Feed is getting
source with some and has to be bought.
There is a litxtle straw being and at about
$16 per ton bailed. Taxes are being paid

LIVINGSTON—Have had good winter
weather with but little snow; not enough
to make covering for fall crops which
have been injured more or less by the ice
that covers a great part of the ﬁelds.

cheer than for some time past: instead
of the sober downoalst look it is a broad
smile you see, since and

hogs have made such encouragi -
vances. Fan sown grains look bad with

"POISONOUS WEEDS
One of my neighbors has
miich cows and one steer. These cattle
apparently seem to be just as Well as.
can be at night, :0 out in the morning
and there would be one dead. He had.
our local veterinarian and he can't Ana
anything wrong. He opened one tram
one end to the mother In One stomach
at the entrance we founda lot of weed
seed and the feed on the inside seemed
to be very hard Could there be
disease. if so would It be catching?—
F. C.—-—Rosebush Mich.

There are a great many poisonous

"weeds and the weed seed you found

at the entrance into the stomach was
no doubt the cause of the death of
your neighbor’s cattle. The feed in.
that portion of the stomach. known
as the omasum, will always be‘ found

hard and dry and has the appear-y

ance of a book, the feed being be-
tween the leaves.

HIND PARTS SEEMS PARAMZED

I have a collie dog two years old that
will suddenly throw head sideways and
writho and roll as though In pain Seems
to be unable to use hind parts as he
will get 11;) on from feet go a short ways
when his hind parts seem to penalize and
go dbwn. He does not froth at the
mouth and his eyes look natural. He
has had two spells like this about five
weeks apart. We keep him tied in the
barn nights and he runs loose during
day He is fat, eats well and appears to
feel good Plays and acts very natural
at other Smear—R. A, W., Saint Charles
Mich. . ‘

Either the result of a blood clot,
thus interfering with the circulation,
or, the result of an. injury, causing
some pressure on the n‘erves of the
hind quarters.
allowing him to run at large for at
least a month and give the follow-
ing: Potassium Iodid, four drams;
tincture nux vomica, three drams:
add sufﬁcient water to make four
ounces and give one
three times a day.

HORSE WEAK AND DEBHJTATED
I have a horse that sweats nights. Be-

gins to sweat about 7 o’clock and sweats ‘

until about 12 o’clock, He is in fairly.
good ﬂesh and feels good. The barn is
very cold but he seems to sweat just the
same. Can you tell me what is the cause

and what to do?——G. P. -K,, Delton, Mich.

This condition 1'9 often Caused by
an animal becoming weak and de-
biliated_ In other cases it might
be caused by ananimal having too
long hair, not having shed properlv
in the fall. Give one ounce Fowler’s
solution of arsenic morning and
night and one dram powdered Nux
Vemica at noon.

OBSTRUCTION IN TEAT

There seems to be a growth in one
teat of my cow’s udder, .I cannot milk
her by hand at all and only get a little
using milking tube. Your advise will be
appreciated—N: E. L., Elwell, Mich-

Have this crow examined by a
graduate veterinarian and he will
be able -to tell you whether the ob-

struction is in the teat or in the ud- __

der itself_ It is a bad practice to use
a milk tube, as sooner or later you
will infect the udder and then your
trouble begins.

PEGULIAR CASE

I have a. mare 9 years old that after
eating her grain will hold her head down
and put her tongue on the outside of
her upper lip and suck. It sounds like
a calf sucking When she ﬁrst started
I was graining heavy wih oats. It was
during hot Weather
fair flesh—S. F7. Kalamazoo County.

A bad habit; try painting lip with
pine :tar. Are you sure she doesn‘t
choke? Rather peculiar case, write

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
ITTLE change in the general
business and trade situation has
been noted during the past week;
lie lack of uniformity in trade de-
velopment, in different parts of the
country, its the leading feature, lo-
cal conditions having much to do
with the volume 01! business trans-
acted. Good judges of trade condi-
tions express the opinion that the
country is at this moment rather
long on optomlistic sentiment and
short on read business. Cut rate
miles are stem the rule, the country
over, making it certain that busi-
ness will be rather quiet until this
muslin-«counter stuff is out of the
may. Trade sentiment in the cen-
m1 and western areas of the coun-
try, is lsv‘orably affected by the rap-
ﬁd nice in the smiling prices of farm
products which has occurred dur~
dug the past 60 days. Wheat is 40
,per cent higher than the autumn
'ﬂsow,” corn is 35 per cent and hogs
25 per cent higher, with still a fair
prospect of more appreciation.
The markets for nearly all basic
materiaﬂs are family active at prices
which hold ﬁrm with a tendency to
advance. Orders for structural
steel tare comilng in rapidly and
manuﬂacturers are making ready
ﬂor an messed production. Wool
h ﬁlrm and steady and cotton has
one cent per pound on spot sales;
In spite of better cotton prices, the
southern district is reported to be de-
cidedly dull, from a trade standpoint.
Reports, from the leading agri-
cu’itureﬂ districts of Michigan, indi-
cate a much better feeling among
ﬁarmens than that which prevailed
on (the opening of the year. In
many districts. the banks are said
to be giving more favorable con-
sideration to loans for production
purposes. While the supply of what
is termed “new money” is Rather
iimiited rﬂhe pressure, for immediate
payment on past due paper, has
been relieved and growers are mak-
.ln.g their usual place for spring
planting. The War Finance Corp-
crtaiﬂon reports that they have, had
three applications for loans to Mich-
Ilgran banks, one of which has been
approved. Inquiries have been re-

ceived from many bankers in the.

state and the prospect is that a
Marge number of «loans will be made
in the next 60 days.

The week has been decidedly
quiet in ﬁnancial and investment
(indies; the recent strength and gen-
eral firmness {in the New York stock
market gave way to a wave 01pm-
ﬁt taking during the latter part of
to period and the final business
was decidedly dull and featureless.
0am money ruled at 4 per cent with
a. weakening tendency noted in con-
nection with long-time paper. Lib-
erties and other bond issues were
strong and active. The weeks bank
clearings were $5,576,085,000.

ests, Japan continues to take a
goodly supply through Paciﬁc coast
ports. It would not be at all sur-
prising to see some temporary weak-
ness develop in this market. It all
depends on the amount of wheat
held in speculative hands. But it
there is very much of this wheat
held it is surprising that the recent
strong market .has not brought
about greater selling. If on
other hand the speculators can
withstand the temptation to unload
at this time and take proﬁts which
must be large, in order to wait for
higher prices it must be that they
have excellent reasons for believing
in higher prices.
