_, 'i.» The United States has been very
Q. MW thus far in having escaped
an invasion of the plague, as it is
exposed by commercial contract with
many countries in which the disease
:1 has been unusually prevalent since
the war. The Federal Bureau oi
.Animal Industry is using every reas-
onable precaution to prevent an in-
vasion ofthe disease and the person—
nel of that Bureau has been so or-
ganized that several hundred veter-
inarians can be sent into the field
for the purpose of suppressing foot-
. ~ and-mo11th disease upon a few hours
notice.

There are some sources of danger
from. tbis disease which are very
difficult to guard against. For ex—
ample, it seems possible for the
virus 04 the disease to be carried
long distances in the clothing or
other belongings of immigrant farm
laborers, and hay or straw used as
packing for crockery and other
goods.

It is desired that the danger from
foot—and-mouth disease be given
publicity in order that those inter-

, ested in the live stock industry will
be on the alert tor the first appear-
ance of the dtsease should we be
so unfortunate as to have another
outbreaig.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN GBOW- ‘

ING BETTER POTATOES?

LL farmers interested in the pro-
duction of better seed potatoes
may make application to have

,1 their seed potato field inspected and
’ certified if they desire. There arg
certain rules and regulations that
one must comply with in order to
have this work done but no farmei'
need hesitate because all can be-
come eligible if they will try. Copies
of the rules governing the inspection
and certification of seed potatoes in
this state can be secured from the
Secreta1y of the Michigan Potato
Producers’ Assn, East Lansing,
Mich. We are getting rid of the
scrubs in our flocks and herds and
0‘ replacing them with pure brads why
not discontinue ‘ raising the scrub

RGANIZATION of the Farm Bureau Produce
ExcMn'ge department was efiected April 12

-‘__1w-h'en_ the State Farm Bureau board of directors -

adopted a set-oi rules and regulations for the
Exchange, which is expected to begin operations
in the Detroit market about May 15 to June 1.
Mr. F. A. L. Bloom, of Detroit, is to be manager
of the Farm Bureau Exchange. He has been
Michigan manager for the American Fruit Grow-
ers, Inc. ., for several years.

At the time the rules and regulations Were
adopted thirty local farm bureau associations
were ready to become members of the Produce
Exchange. It wil handle produce for member
organizations only, according to the rules adopt-
ed.

-<

The Farm Bureau Produce Exchange has for

its object the provision 0:! a “reliable distribu- 1

tion and sales seryice without profit and on a
purely co-operative basis” for the produce han-
dled by loCal- units of. the Michigan State Farm
Bureau’and by .iother co—operative associations oi
preducers Who are now or later become amliated
Twith the~Farm Bureau. It plans to establish at
‘Detroit ,as conditions‘permit, wholesale stores,
offices and Ware houses and other facilities for
carrying on such business. The exchange pro-
poses to charge not ‘more’ than the customary
commission charge for equivalent service as giv-
en by the general trade and will wor}: t‘o‘eifect

sayings for its members through a co-operative-

;

sales and distribution service, the announcement ,,

said. The Exchange plans to notify its members
When it is ready to begin operations.

‘ Membership qualifications stipulate that any

group of producers organized to market farm

produce on a purely co-operative basis”, who are

affiliated with the State Farm Bureau and who

shall conform to the riflep and regulations of the

Exchange shall be eligible to membership. Each

- local organization Shall be required to pay a mem-

_ bership fee of $25 and sign a contract with the

~ Exchange fer the marketing of the produce. The

membership fees shall go into a fund to provide- ‘

permanent working capital for the Exchange.

The Produce Exchange plans to develop grades

and brands which will identify its produce, will

\ assist in cellecting. and disseminating produce
crop information, hepes to develop the market for
Michigan produce, and assist members in their
produce transportation problems. '

April 21 County farm bureau representatives
from the Thumb district met in Detroit to dis-
cuss the organisation and operation of the Farm
Bureau Produce Exchange.

‘ — RULES AND REGULATIONS

Some-of the more important rules and regu-
lations of the new exchange are as follows:

ANVIMPOBTANT STEP

EXT to the stimulation the Farm Bureau

he’s given to the wool market by poolinl and

actually entering the field -
we consider its proposed invasion of the pro-
duce marketing field as likely to develop into one
of its most important activities. Certainly 110
other branch of marketing has been so neglected
by farmers as the produce end. Before the Farm
Bureau came into existence there were organi-
zations successfully handling many of the major
crops of the state, but none have dared, except
in .1 small way to chance the many risks attend-
ant upon the marketing of so-calle produce and
truck crops. Private capital and in too many
cases unscrupulous capital has successfully con-
trolled the marketing of these particular commo-
dltics. It may not be possible for the Farm
Bureau’s Produce Exchange Department to do
busineSs on a. less margin than the private deal-
.,ers but it it makes honest returns on all prodnce
Sold, which very few of the private dealers do,
it will more than Justify its existence. The de-
Dartmont can do much to encourage better me-
thods of packing and shipping and save farmers
thousands of dollars that are now lost to them
thru carelessness in these particulars—Editor.

Sec. 3. To collect from all desirable sources
and disseminate regularly and promptly to
Locals, accurate crop and market information on
the products handled by the Produce Exchange.

Sec. 4. To enlarge present outlets and to ag—
gressively develop new outlets in Detroit and
elsewhere for the products handled.

Sec. 5. To distribute the products of Lecals
direct from shipping point to markets other than
Detroit when conditions make it possible to get
better results by so doing, and to devel‘Op in
markets of Detroit, reliable representatives so
that the broadest and most efficient distribution
of members’ products may be obtained.

Sec. 6. To promote and establish desirable
grades, brands and labels for products handled
by the Produce Exchange and to work with
Locals in the development of improved quality
and standardized methods of handling, grading,
packing and shipping their produce.

Sec-7. To handle claims of member organi—

zations against transportation companies and to.

furnish advice and information on transportation
problems.

See. 8. In general, to furnish to member or—
ganizations at cost, a complete, reliable and high
class marketing service on such products as the
Produce Exchange is in position to handle.

 

 

Utah Sugar Factories Divide

with Grewers

HE Utah farmer for April 1 says: f‘It is a
great relief. to all to have the sugar beet
contract for 1922 finally agreed upon by the com-
panies and the.committee of the State Farm
Bureau. The negotiations have continued over
.a prolonged period, ”and have been characterized
by what might be called ‘ultimatum diplomacy.’
That is, each side made proposals and counter-
proposals in its turn, until a deadlock Was fin-
ally reached. This deadlock was not broken un-
til a third party interceded and—brought the two
contestants to a compromise agreement. The
agreement itself is based upon the principle of
profit-sharing, the producer to receive 46 1- 2 per
cent of the price of the sugar— and the manu-
facturer to receive 53 1- 2 per cent. It is not

‘ radically different from the contract of last year,

extent that the ratio on the lower prices of sugar

, ‘j—that‘ is,, from, $4 to $8 a hundred—is more

favorableto the-sugar beet grower than was the
case last year. On the other hand, the 1921 con-

' tract provided for a $5. 00 minimum guarantee.

The 1921 contract differs from this year’s con—

- tract also 111}- that it was based upon a fifty-f
yfifty division hi the profits above $8 sugar,

Big’ Drop in Value of Poultry

THE total value of poultry and eggs produced I
on farms in 1921 was $943,000,000, accord—
ing to estimates made by the United States
De artment of Agricultuie. 'Of this total, ape
Afr/pximately $401, 000, 000 was for poultry and
$542, 000, 000 for eggs. Production of poultry‘
was 526, 000, 000 chickens and nearly 24 ,000, 000
other fowls. Production of eggs was 1, 837 ,000 ,-,.‘
000 dozen chicken eggs, and 6,,000 000 dozen"
eggs from all other poultry. *
The 1921 value of all poultry raised on farms-
in the United States was a drop from $456, 000‘, -.
000 in 192.0, and from $417, 000 000 in 1919. '
The decline in value from 1920 to 1921 was due -.
to the fall in price per fowl, and the increase in -
walue from 1919 to 1920 was due to larger pro-
duction and an advance in average priCes. The
average value per chicken raised in 1919 was"
81. 6 cents, in 1920 it was 86. 5 cents and in 1921.
it was 71 cents.’

The total value of poultry raised in 1921113
made up as follows: Chickens, $373, 500, 000
turkeys, $12, 900, 000; geese, $7, 000, 000; ducks;
$4, 900, 000; guinea fowls, $1, 900, 000, pigeons,
$1, 400 “000

The chicken eggs produced on farms have-a"
considerably higher value than the chickens
1aised. The estimated value of chicken eggs in;
1921 was $539, 000, 000, in 1920 it was $760 009
000 and in 1919 it was $679, 000, 000. For eggs
production of all kinds of poultry, not includi '
pigeons, a value of $542, 000, 000 is estimated:
for .1921, $765,000,000 for 1920 and $683.00
000 for .1919. In 1921 the average price
chicken eggs throughout the entire United
was 29. 3 cents per dozen, in 1920 it w s"
cents, and in 1919 it was 41 cents. '

The 1921 estimates for chickens and eggs
duced are. based upon 1919 census figures.

ar-See'ing minds knew that there could not be

‘hich the farmer had to sell and those which
he had to buy.

_ ‘, Price changes, according to the Bureau of La-
bor Index numbers, during the first month of
Lthe‘new year were in favor of the farmer. Agri-
cultural. products increased in price from 113 to

base. of 100. All other commodity groups showed
ta decrease. However, while this recent change
in price has been in favor of the farmer, pfices

products, and there will have to be a great
"amount of adjustment before the farmer will be

I the hog and corn sections ofth'e country. The ’

unprofitableness of hog feeding during the sea-
son of 1920, due to’ the high price of corn,‘ caused
a great decrease in thenumber of hegs'. This
"great reduction in breeding, stock has been 'a
cause of ’the- present shortage. “ ‘

Whatdoes the future held forth is .the dues-a
tion which is on the tip of every farmer’s tengue.
Prediction is usually a risky business. The cor-
The mis:
takes are remembered forever. Present condi-
tions seem to indicate that there will be no worse
times than we have just passed through. The
worst seems to have been reached. The future
prices of farm products depend upon many fac-
tOrs and will vary with different products. It is
quite probable that the price of hogs will ‘remain
very satisfactory until there is a new‘ crop of
pigs grown and fattened for the market. Wheth-
er this crop will be large enough to depress the

prices much below what they. are today depends

upon just to what extent’ the present price is
going toencourage production and how well the
demand remains stable. '

There-will probably be a decrease in the corn
acreage in the corn belt with a probable increase
in the cotton states. The chances are against a
third successive “corn year” which will give such
an abundant supply. Indications seem to point
to higher corn for next year and not such a great
profit in feeding this grain to'hogs. The hog
feeder has been fortunate in the past few months
to have a favorable price for hogs at the same
time a low corn price prevailed. This condition
will of course adjust itself. _

Wheat will sell for a better’price during the
coming season than it has the past, unless unfor—
seen developments occur. The condition of win-
ter Wheat in the southwest is bad. There has been
a great deficiency inmoisture in that section this
Winter. However, March snows and April rains
have put thesoil in better condition. Russia has
been one of the great wheat exporters of the

world. 7 As long as wheatdoes not cOme from this

field to the world markets the price is very apt

to‘be quite favorable to the wheat growers. '

Butter and eggs have not enjoyed the in:
crease in price. On the other hand there has

It is not given to every lovely miss or

receive the invitation twice, 'but they are
rare whose wooers number more. "To re- .

the demand for products is probably of more

fluencing demand is the purchasingpower cf the
consumer. If unemployment is reduced andthe
laborer gets the meney with' whiclr‘to buy,"'pri_ces

Increases in prices due to decreased’produ’c-
tion" appear on the face of things to be a very
good thing. However, 80c corn does not'help a
farmer unless he has 'corn‘to sell. ‘The boll [wee-
vil pest may cause the price of’cOtton to increase
but it 'also will reduce the number of bales which
the farmer has to sell. A'short wheat crop in
Kansas‘may cause. the price of wheat to go up,
but this will not benefit the Kansas farmer who »
has no wheat to sell; A benefit will revert'to
wheat growers of other sections who have wheat
to sell. The proper' amount of any crop to pro-
\ duce is that which will giVe the‘farmer the great—
est net return for his effort and yet enable the
consumer to purchase the food he 'needs at a
price which is “equitable.” This is‘ as indefinite
as it is impossible to attain.

After the available facts are considered in the
light of the past and present world conditions
it appears that agriculture is going to be on a
better basis during the coming year than it has
'during the past. ‘However, it would be a mis-
take to assume that things are going to “bloom"
'and that business would take on» the activity of‘
war years. There will be more time required to
bring business conditions back to what we might

. . .T TAX ON CONTRACTS
» say; in several newspapers that

a tax on land contracts,‘ 5‘
cents on each $100. I had a contraci
‘turned over to me with 3,181,600 mort-
case on it and ‘when the.contract is
paid up to 31, 500- the second parties
must raise money and pay up. Do I have
. t0 pay a tax on this 31, 500 or not?—
M. M: Oakwood, Mich.

 

I have just been ‘informed that the
state has dug up an old law enacted .
in 19121lby Which the holder of a contract'
must pay the county treasurer one-half
of one per cent on the full face of the
contract even though nine-tenths of it
may have been paid in years ago to a
former owner of the contract. I also nn‘
d tsn'd if this contract is not paid at

" when the assessor calls he —.will

multip it by 0 and you can pay it with
your r taxes next fall if you are
lucky to have the money. I wish you

would print this law in full at your
earliest convenience as I find but few

ew‘ho have ever heard of it. —C.

Will you please give me the legal points
of law concerning a tax on land con-
tracts? From what date or year is this
collects ? What per cent is charged?
When isxhls'a tax collected and by whom?
Wiho pa the tax? Penalty for neglect?
A. Stanton,M Mch.

 

Would you please advise me if the spe-
cific tax law on land contracts is effec-
tive thruOut the entire state and can a
man. be compelled to pay it whose land,
contract is not on record at the clerk’s
ofiice?—J. B., Marion, Mich. ’

The tax on land contracts is a
specific tax, payable but once during
the life of the contract. The amount
of the tax is 1-2 of 1 per cent, not
on the full face vaue of the contract
as suggested by C. B. ., of Bancroft,
but upon “the greatest amount
which was‘at any time a debt se-
cured by the contract." Example:
A sells to B a piece of (land for‘
$1,000, B pays $200 down leaving a
balance secured by contract of $800.
upon this amount A must pay his
county treasurer 1— 2 of 1 per cent
or $4. 00. If A fails to pay this tax
and sell his contract to C, C is
obligate to pay it. C may claim this
is rather harsh on him, but the law
presumes that the purchaser of a
contract has satisfied himself that
there is no encumbrance against the
contract before he buys it.

If the tax inquisitors find that the .
specific tax has not been paid on
the above contract they order it-
placed on the assessment rolls and it
is then taxed annually the same as
other property. The tax authorities
do not, as suggested by C. B., of
Bancroft, .‘arbitrarily multiply the
tax by “six,” etc. The same rate
as "applies to other property of its
class in the county in questiOn is
charged. ,

Mr. B. F Burtl‘ess, secretary of
the Board of State Tax Commission»
ers, very kindly gives us, the follow-
ing additional information which
will .answer other questions raised
above—Editor. .

LAW DOEs NOT REQUIRE CON- .

TRACTS TO BE FILED

"The law does not require land cen-
tracts tO be filed in the clerk’s office. If
recorded at all, the record should be
nude in the office of the Registen of
Deeds. but we are not following the mat-
ter 'to ascertain whether contracts are
recorded or not, our sole interest bemg
to see that the specific tax is paid as
required by law. The payment of the tax
is the first step to be taken before a con-
tract can be recorded. After payment
of the tax, it is optional with the owner
whether he will place it on record.

“Section 10 of the Act, as amended
byAct 213 ofthe the Public Acts of 1921,
provides thatthe credit upon which the
Act imposes a specific tax shall ‘when
this tax has been fully paid" be exempt
from further general taxation. Therefore,
if the specific tax is not paid, the con— .
tracts are treated as ordinary credits .

SEED POTATOES

Could you tell me if potatoes that are
in a basement under water for several
days will be fit for seed?—F. S.. East
Jordan, Mich.

Potatoes that have been sub-
merged in water for some length of
time are liable to be damaged to
some extent for seed purposes, how-
ever, this will show up shortly after
they have been placed in a dry place.

' If they have been harmed by the

water, rotting will set in and the
damaged ones can be' readily elimi-
nated. I see no reason why any of
the potatoes which come thru in a
good firm condition should not be
fit for seed purposesH—C E. Cor-

HAY CROP. WITH OATS

Have only about 12 acres clearing on
my farm and wish to make as much
use Of it as possible. I want to start
an alfalfa field and I want to raise oats
enough .to winter my stock. Last year
I had nearly, 5 acres in Oats. The field
is clay loam and gives a good yield.

Can I plant that field this year to cats.

and alfalfa. and out the cats for grain
to be threshed and also cut a. hay drop
Ofrom the alfalfa? If I cannot plant the

way what would be your advice as o
the seed to sow with the cats to get a
hay crop also?—-——A. L. J.. Mikado, Mich.

Alfalfa .seeded with cats this

. spring is not likely to give/a hay

crop by fall. Last year’s growing
occasionally in southern Michigan"
spring seeded alfalfa gave a cutting

. orhar in th} fish, his cannot be'

and give a hay crop the same year
with certainty unless the new' Hu—
bam clover proves to be of value for
this purpose. For the first time suf-
ficient seed is available to try this
quick grovfing sweet clover. Not

enough is known about Hubam to‘

definitely place the crop in our agri-
culture. At the Upper Peninsular
Sub-station on a three—acre piece an
excellent growth of either pasture or
hay was secured after barley was
taken off for grain. The seeding
was made with the barley at time
of planting, using 15 pounds per
acre of Hubam.

Seed of Hubam can be secured
from the Farm Bureau Seed De-
partment, 221 N. Cedar St., Lansing,
Mich., at $15 per bushel in lots of
two bushels or more.

Common biennial sweet clover
can be ,depended upon to give con-
siderable growth for pasture in the
fall and may be available for hay
the next year.———J. F. Cox, Professor

ALFALFA WITH SOY BEANS

in Ito San Soy beans? Wish to drill

Drilling alfalfa in Soy beans at the

is attended with much' risk. In sea-
sons such as we had during the past
year with plenty of rain during late
summer, followed by a late fall, al—
falfa would catch dependably but in

are on the public highway, past a man’s
house to keep this man from buying stock
in it or from using their line?—-———E.
Twining, Mich.

Section 1 of Act 206 of the Public
Acts of 1913 declares that all per-
sons, corporations or associations
operating telephone lines in the state

I

‘Of Michigan, are common carriers.

Section .3 of Act 206 of the Public
Acts of 1913 requires that “All per-
sons, co—partnerships or corpora-
tions doing a telephone business
within the state are required to
furnish reasonably and adequate
service and facilities for the use of
their lines by the public.”

From the two Acts which we men-
tion the law requires that all per-
sons which are now occupying a
highway by their telephone lines
must render telephone service to any
person or persons who desire tele—
phone Service from this company.

There is nothing in the telephone
law that we know of, that will re-
quire a telephone company to sell
its stock to any person Who wishes
‘tO buy the same. —Public

BEFORE YOU BUYr
HERE are many dealers through-
out the state who are now sen.
ins radio receiving sets that will
not do what -. is claimed for them. ..
There seems, to be a tooling among
some of the new dealers that the
farmer is legitimate prey and "that
it they can get. his money it will be
0. K. Beware of them! .

When you are ready to buy. be' , -
sure you buy from reliable houses
that have been in business t-or more
than a month or two. Concerns'who
have been handling electric goods
for years are generally in the ‘busir
nose to stay and tho radio is new
with them.- They are in the business
because they see the future possi-
bilities and are looking forward.
They are thevones that will treat
you square. Firms who advertise in
these columns are reliable and their ,
statements may be depended upon.

When in doubt about your sen; ‘
what you need and should have.
ASK US. ‘

- There are some dealers who are
thinking about sending Out salesmen
We
caution you to be very careful about
circum- . ‘
stances. Many a salesman can make

a set work but the 111311 who buys
it can not dcrso and never will be
able to do 50;;

President Friday or .M. A. o.
thinks that-radio is~going to be of

 

 

be if the farmer will use a little

caution in buying his receiving set. .
I have talked with dealers who .

candidly stated. that they would‘sell

to the farmer anything he wanted

wh her it would work or not. In

fact they have tried to sell .me a set

that was guaranteed (by them) that

wOuld receive music from 500 miles

when they knew that they were lying w.

and I knew it also. . .
Again let us caution you, it in

doubt ask our advice.

ally inclined, who will not have

your aerial in place, pull the sup-
porting ropes tight, so that the

‘aerial does not sag. (There will be

a slight sag, anyway.) You can now
tie your ropes, so as to hold the
aerial in place, pull guy ropes quite
tight, this is to prevent the aerial
swinging in the wind, also to .prevent

' its twisting,» which it will do in al-

most any windy day. Bring the free
end of your lead-in wire into the
house thru a porcelean tube, which
you have placed in a window frame,
or thru the wall, being sure that
this wire does not touch anything
except a porcelean knob, tube, or
other good insulatOr. You are now
ready to attach your instruments.

The Ground, ‘ Ground-lead
Lightning Protection

From your instruments, or receiv-
ing set, you must (have a lead .to
your , ground. ’This ground-lead
should be of the samewire as your
aerial lead-in wire. It must pass
thru porcelean tubes or be well in-
sulated from everything ’with the
exception of the ground itself.

The “Ground" as it is called, or
the earth connection should be a
well casing, water pipe that pass in—
to the ground, or a large piece of
metal] (for the best. results copper is
used) buried in the earth at a sum—
cient deptlh to insure that the piece

and

“of metal is permanently in contact

with nioist earth. Those \whose
ground? is very sandy should sink
several pieces of metal separated by
a few Jest, as, it "is hard to get a

good ”ground” in sand. Solder the ,

joint between the. ground and the
ground-lead. Right
be said that you can not make joints
too good, they must be soldered for
good results, as partly corroded
wire, dirt and loose connection cause
a lot of trouble, and at times pre-

vent the reception of any wireless

signals.

From your instruments you can
now run your wire ground-lead to
your ground connection and solder
it. If you new had your receiving
set, you could try it out and listen
for wireless signals. ‘

The ”Fire Insurance Underwriters,
city laws. etc., in most places. re-
quire that a wireless receiving set

‘ or sending set must be properly pro-

tected from lightning, if it is not
so protected, there is a question‘ as
to whether you could collect any in-
surance fr_om lightning damage. As
yet I have to hear of a house being
struck by lightning that had a wire-
less set, provided that it was pro-
tected by a lightning protector and

properly installed.

A 600 volt, 100 ampere switch,
or a vacuum tube protector is re-
quired to ground your aerial at all

' times when not in use. The vacuum

here it might,

a lightning company or
house. '1: recommend the vacuum

tube protector, it is cheaper, costing ;
usually

$2 50 whereas the switch
costs mere and requires that you go
outside and turn it over from the
safe position to the receiving peei-
tion each time that you wish to lie-
ten.

(Lightning,
current will

without any attention.
or any high tension

. pass thru a partial vacuum such as

in these tubes, in preference to com-

ing into the house, as the path to“
and easier than

earth is shorter,
the roundabout way thru the receiv-
ing set.)

Figure 2, gives a side view of the
lead-in wire, groundylead, and how
the. lead—in is- mounted to the lightn-
ing protector. “A” is the aerial, “G"
the earth or ground, these signs are
always used in radio to designate
these two parts, remember them and
you will be helped, they will be used
quite often in the future articles.

Figure 3, shows how to connect
the lightning switch.

Figure 4, shows how to connect
the vacuum tube protector.

In connecting the lightning pro-
tector to the earth, Itwis better to

' use a different earth connection than

the one used for your receiving set.
If you can, connect it to the lightn-
ing rod ground connection. A No.4
or No.6 stranded copper wire must
be used to connect the lightning
switch or protector to the ground,
and it should not touch the house,
but run directly to the ground, or
be fastened to insulators if you have
to run it some distance- .

, Points to Remember

Solder all joints.

Do not let any of your wires on
the aerial, lead—in, ground lead
touch anything except insulators.

Make a good earth connection, as
it means a great deal as to whether

or not you are able to receive mes-

sages.

Next we are going to take up the
parts of the set needed ”for receiv-
ing the radio *signals, beginning
with a tuning set.‘

Radio signals are sent out on dif—
ferent wave lengths, each station
having a certain wavelength that
it must use, as required by the gov-
ernment. To receive these signals,
telephone or telegraph, we must be

able to tune the received waves so.

that our detecting set will pick up
just those waves that we are listen—
ing‘for. If we did not tune for the
desired wave we would hear noth-
ing, as radio waves are hitting our

serials at all times,,.not only the"

near stations but those that are
thousands of miles away, and the ac-
tual energy received thru the aerial
is very small, so we must carefully
sort out, or tune, till we get the
waves that we want. Music and
most of the interesting broadcasted
information is sent out on a wave
length of about 360 meters.
will make our set for that wave
particularly, but you will be able
to hear longer wave length messages

. as well as shorter.

It is interesting to know that the
radio waves as sent out travel at a
speed equal to that of light, that is
182, 000 miles a second;
or over seven times
around our world in one
second!

(ciaihied to be educators) can ’t
curse our country schools enough. I
know our country schools are not
{rest up as they should be but take

’ notice of the farm buildings the
' most or. them around here are nearly

like they were twentyafive years ago.
Our commissioners tell us that

only about half as many of our coun— .

try children that write on the eighth
grade pass compared with the town
and city but they fail to tell us that
the town and city children don' t

have to write on the state eighth

grade examination.

Four or us from Birch Run town- .

ship went to Grand Blanc and out
near Goodrich to find out what we
could about consolidation of schools.
Grand Blanc has a township unit.
In this town we found very little ob-
fiction to consolidation but out in
the country it was different. It was

not the school they found dealt with,

it was the taxes which had become-
burdensome and the transportation
of the children. We found that

‘ some of the children had to start

from home about seven 0 ’cloek and
didn’t get home until six at night.
We didn't find any that were far

'from school that were sending chil-

dren under seven for they said it

was too much for them to stand.

Then some said that the older chil-
dren abused the smaller ones in the
bus. "-

The school at Grand Blame when

.completed will cost around 312 0,—

QOO,tl-1eir bonds nun for 1.5 years;
tastes last year were 31-3. 26 on a
thousand and no money being paid
on principal. It takes 17 bosses to
haul 280 scholars to the school, the
bushel eary from 8 to 21 scholars. It
cost $15,500 to pay for these busses
at which the state pays about 35, 500.

. The school is located nearly in. the

center at the' township. The value-
tion of this district 1532.418, 575.
Goodrich consolidated school has
a valuation of $1, $75, '940, their tax
last year was 5312. 86 per thousand.

A: Goodrich they had a new school

house to begin with so they only
had to add on to acommodate, the

- ilve bus loads brought in.

It our head ofllcials want to help
the country schools why don’t they

~ got the legislature to vote money to

help the poorer districts instead of

paying it to bus drivers to haul our-—

children over the roads to town.

HE views of H. W. (wish he had
given us his full name) inter-
ested me very much because of.
the clear manner in which he ex-
presses his views regarding the pres-
ent style in women’s dress (undress).
Perhaps the readers of M. B. F.
will not agree with thefstatement
that woman's modesty is respon-
sible, in a. large degree, for man’s
purity, yet, upon careful reflection,
the statement will be tound to be
rue.
It will be helpful to recognize that
“Good Taste” in one’ 5 dress, and in

all other matters, is a God-given at- _.

solaIte'ly as he-rand Neewa looked at
it from the edge of the clearing. No
smoke, no sign. of life, and thawin-
dow was broken, now—probably by
an inquisitive bear or a' wolverine.
Miki went tothe‘ window and stood
up to it, sniffinginside. The smell
.was still there———so faint that he
could only just detect it. But that
was all. The big room was empty
except for the stove, a table and. a

a

few bits of rude furniture. All else: -

was gone. ‘Three or four times dur-
ing the next half hour Miki stood

up at the window, and at last Nee: ‘

Wa—urged by his curiosity —-— did
likewise. He also detected the faint
odor that was left in the cabin. He
sniffed at it fora long time. It was
like the smelt he had caught the day
he came out of his den—and yet dif-
ferent. It was fainter, more elusive,
and not so unpleasant.

For a month thereafter Miki in-
sisted on hunting in the, vicinity of
the cabin, held there by the “full”
of the thing which he could neithEr
analyze nor Quite understand. Nee-
wa accepted the situation good nat-
uredly‘for a time. Then he lost
patience and surrendered himself,to
a grouch for thh-ee whole days dur-

ing which he wandered at his own .

sweet will. To preserve the alliance
Miki was compelled to follow him.
Berry time—early July—found them
sixty miles north and west of the
cabin, in the edge of the country

~ where Neewa was born.

But there were few berries that
summer of drought and fire). As
early as the middle of July a thin,

gray film began to hover in palpi-'

tating waves over the forests. For
three weeks there had been no rain.
Even the nights were hot and dry.
Each day the factors at their posts
looked out with anxious eyes over
their domains, and by the first"’.of
August every‘ past had a score 'of
halfbreds and Indians patrolling the
trails on the watch for fire. In their
cabins and teepees the forest dwell-
ers who had not gone to 'passthe
summer at the“ posts waited and
watched, each morning and noon'and
night they climbed tall trees and
peered through that palpit-ating gray
film for a sign of. smoke. For weeks
the wind came steadily from the
south and west, parched as though
swept over the burning sands 'of a
desert. Berries dried up on the
bushes, the fruit of the mountain
ash shriveled on its stems, creeks
ran dry, swamps turned into baked
peat, _- and the poplar leaves hung
wilted and lifeless, too limp to rustle
in the breeze. Only once or twice
"in a lifetime'does the forest dwell-
er‘see poplar leaves curl up and die
like that, baked to death in the sum-
mer sun. It is Kiskewahoon (the
Danger Signal); Not Only the warn-
ing of possible death in a holocaust
of fire, but the omen of poor hunt-
ing and trapping in the winter to
come.

Miki and Neewa were in a swamp
country when the fifth' of August
came. In the lowland it was swel-
tering. Neewa’s. tongue, hung from
his mouth, and Miki was panting as
they made their way along a black
and sluggish stream that was like
a great ditch and as dead as the day
itself.. There was no visible sun,

but a red and lurid glow filled the ’

sky——-the sun straggling to fight its

that had . groivn ,thicker over the
earth. Bcause they were in a

A New Hired Man

0 far as we know the Business Farmer is

the first farm paper in the United States

to publish a special radio section such as
appears in this issue. At first thought, radio
in its present stage of development, may seem
.to have but slight relation to the business of
farming. And yet radio is even now bringi
to 'tens. of thousands of. lonely and isolated
farm homes beautiful messages of hope and
cheer, the songs and lyriCs of great masters,
daily crop, weather and market reports, and
practical talks on farm and home problems.
It Seems, indeed, that Alladin, stirring in his
grave, may have rubbed his magic lamp and
bade it set to work a million geneii for the ben-
efit of mankind. But the radio of tomorrow
will be as unlike the radio of today as the auto—
mobile is unlike the old high-wheeled bicycle
of long ago. It is of the radio of tomorrow

 

 

speak.
Som‘c few weeks ago an article appeared in

a popular mechanical magazine describing a
small vehicle which, could be operated from a
distance by wireless signals. This invention
moved Herbert Johnson, the great cartoonist,
to draw a picture of a farmer sitting ~-at a.
switch-board covered with knobs and levers
by means of . which he controlled the move-
ments of his tractor, gas engine, silo filler,
and other pieces of machinery about the farm.
- The prophecy may haVe been over-drawn. We
‘ ' do not know. The possibility of controlling
- mechanisms by wireless is known, but the prac—

ticability is yet to be determined. ‘

Great discoveries will be made within the

. radio field within the next five years. _Wirc-
‘ lessvtelegraphy is a product of the last quarter
. I . of a century ago and up to 1907 the maximum
distanCe which. wireless signals could be sent
was only a couple hundred miles. Today,
fifteen years later, code signals can\be Wire-
lessed to almost every part of the globe. The
telephonic possibilities of wireless Were dis-
covered about the beginning of. the World War,
--but the receiving outfits now on the market
" are a product of only the last couple years.
I ,No discovery has fired the imaginations of
”men quite so much as the radio telephone and

their energiAcs to uncovering new truths; about

The Sugar Tariff‘andithelzli‘armer’ '

HERE are 61966 to two hundredthousand"

farmers in Michigan._ Tonto . fifteen
thousand. of them. grow beets from which
sugar is made. ; The; other one hundred and
eighty thousand‘ere. heavy purchasers of sugar.
A tariff which would add tum cents a pound
to imparted sugar might or might not benefit
the few thousand ~farmers who-grow beets, de-
pending upon the Whims of. the manufactur-
‘ers, but'itywould positively" add several hund— _
red thousand dollars to the ,sugarbill of the
rest of the farmers to say nothing of the city
consumers. - ‘ ' '

With these factsin' mind what stand shall
agriculture take on the- sugar schedule in the _
pending tariff bill? Obviously, no one desires
to see the beet sugar industry of Michigan or
any other state destroyed by the competition
of Cuba, but there is a limit to which the
many can be taxed for the protection of the
few. Experience has shown that the’man who
grows beets gets very little if any of the in-
creased price of sugar resulting from a tariff.
Il‘he lion ’s share goes to the manufacturer.
Might it not be if the farmers owned the fact-
ories and received the profits of manufactur-
ing as well as growing, they. could compete
with Cuban without the aid of a high protective
tariff? As T. C. Price, president of the‘Sagi-
naw County Farm Bureau, pointed out in
the last issue, the farmer actually gets little if
any protection under the new tariff bill, Which
puts a high tax on incomingsugar, but a very
low tax on incoming beets. He, too, offers the
farmer—oWned sugar factory as 'a solution to
the problem. Most 'of the factories in Ger-..
many are farmenowned or controlled. Is
there any reason why the factories of Michi-

gan cannot be similarly owned? ..

 
    

 

 

Dame ‘Rlimor and Master Slander

“There have been quite a few things stolen
around here, and Mrs. A said she would not be
surprisedxif Mr. C had taken them. Mrs. B also
said that suspicion rested upon Mr.C. NOW Mr.
C has heard of what Mrs. A and B have said and
threatens to have them arrested for slander. Can - '
they be arrested for" telling their‘opinion? They
did not say that Mr. 0 had stolen anything but
that they would not be surprised it he had.—
Mrs. A., Cedar Springs, Mich.

D 0 not worry. It is not likely that Mr. C

can produce enough evidence of slander
to get a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. A and

"B. If they had deliberately charged him with

The crime he could have resorted to law but

as they only breathed a suspicion'a'gainst him

he is without recourse. No court verdict -
could entirely clear his name from the smears

with which thoughtless tongues have plaster»
ed it. ' ' ‘

A great poet once said: 'S‘Who steals my
purse steals trash. "‘ "' But he who filches
from me my good name takes all that I have
and leaves me poor; indeed.” A wise saying,
as true today as when the world began. A
fortune may be made and lost and another
gained to take its place, but a good name once
‘stolen, is gone forever. The thief who steals
a purse may he “caught with the goods in his
possession, and punished, but it is easier to
apprehend the whirlwind than to silence the
voice of slander and overtake the swift chariot
of Dame» Rumor. - .

. p » The Senate Tafiff Bill- 1’
THE Senate tariff bill makes a veryaC- ‘
. ceptable gift horse for the farmers pro-
viding they do not look into its mouth. A casual
examination and comparison with former tar-. '
iff measures would lead agriculture to be-‘
lieve that its long—cherished dreams had come
true and that. it is at last to sit in. the front
pew of the world’s protected markets. But
inspection dispells some~ of theselond
illusions. ’ " . * T ‘
Nearly all of the agricultural items are in
terms of specific duties. Reduced to an ad
valorem basis at current valuations and com-

.ties of which the farmeris a large. purchaser
we find that the. agricultural schedules are ac- ‘
tually the lowest! on the list amounting in few
if any cases to more than “thirty per cent.-
Of what benefit to the farmer is a twentyefive
per cent duty on a world grain like -whea’t
of which We produce a large surplus when he
must turn right around and pay a 40. to 80
per cent duty on a-majOrity of things he buys.’
The value to .the farmer of a, tariff on corn
andoats, is megligible. The duties 0n dairy ‘l
products are badly needed and none too high.
The duty on sugar is an affront to every
American c0nsumer. .Michigan is an impori
tant sugar-beet growing ,state, but, only ten.
thousand of her~ two hundred thousand farm'-
crs grow beets. But three and a half million
Michigan p90plc are_asked-to add several mill-
ion dollars to their sugar bill forlthé direct
benefit of a few hundred sugar-mill stock-
holders and the very Quail and questionable
benefit of the handful of boat growers. '

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
NE of our prominent society
women in Michigan has decided
that girls who powder their
noses 'should be refused recognition
in society and, be made to suffer for
their indiscretion. Why does she
not spend her valuable time on
something worth while and when she
might have at least a chance for suc-
cess? In the first place if the nose
needs powdering why not powder it?
It was never meant to shine, it is
too conspicuous. Eyes may shine,
teeth be polished and conversation
scintillate but noses never. The more
subdued and quiet they are the
better. May the author of this tirade
decide to feed the hungry and clothe
~ the heathen and leave us our powder
puffs to use at our own descretion
(I’ll wager she powders hers.)

BEARING OF CHILDREN
WAS much interested in Mrs. C.
E. B.'s letter and was also glad _,
,-to see the M. B. F. devoted a

page of its interesting paper to the

use otf its patrons, in which they
may exchange confldences concern-
ing the rearing of their children.

Believing we are never too old to

learn I am always glad to receive

information on this subject. I am

a young mother of twenty—four

years, and it is the greatest desire

of my life to teach my children
right. ‘
When a young child goes too near
a stove, how often do we hear the
mother say, “No, no, it will burn
you?” and yet later in life, when
there are so many temptations which
come to the young, does that moth-
er keep silent because it concerns
matters of sex. I cannot. refrain
from saying, that if silence has
meant to protect the honor—and vir-
tue of our boys and girls it has
failed in its mission. I say this be-
cause we hear the actions of our

young people sharply criticised. I

think there is a great need of sex

training in the home. Itis up to,

— the mothers and fathers to set up

» way, to guide the footsteps of their
“ boys and girls. .
. When a little child comes to its
. parents with the question about its
origin, it is one of the first oppor-
tunities parents have of starting the
child right. However, if they neg-
lect this duty of telling the truth
4 and allow them to find out from
~other sources" the childl'may get a
' wrpng impression which may prove
p~m'ost serious and the parents have
closed the doors of confidence for"-
are: between them and the child.

CANNING FROZEN BEEF

Please tell the lady that inquired about
canning frozen beef that it can be done
and will keep as well as that canned
directly after killing. TWO years .ago a
neighbor delivered a quarter of beef to-
us the next day after we had butchered»
our hogs. ,_I could not of course care for-
it all at once so thought best to let the-
beef freeze instead of the pork. I think

’EAR DHILDREN: During the

-' past'inont'hfl had a very 'high

f honor conferred upon me. It all
happened at g a ‘schoolhouse near
Mayville, Michigan, in Tusco‘la coun-
ty and I knew‘nothing about it un-
til the teacher of this school, whom
I have never met, wrote me the fol-
lowing letter: _ - ' »

"Dear Uncle Ned: We are learn"-
ing to write letters in school this
week so some of the children sug-
gested writing to Uncle Ned. I/ told
them that they might all units to-
day for their grammar lesson. They
were all quite excited about doing~
it. This explains to you the' re son
for, receiving so many letters rom
one place.”

This: letter and the ones the teach—
er enclosed from the children make .
me feel very happy. They brought
back memories of my school days
and the hours 'I used to spend com- _
posing letters ,as. did all 01 my
schoolmates and most of these let-
ters were addressed to father, moth-
er, some other relativejor a very
dear friend .or chum. If the girls
and boys of today are the same as
those of yesterday inflthis respect,
and I believe. they are, then they
thought of me as they would of one
of their dear friends or relatives.’
-This fact alone makes me feel most
proud. It is my ambition that every
girl and boy reader of M. B. F. will
have an affection for Uncle Ned and
think of him as one of their uncles
whom they have never seen but have
written to and heard from. I am
sure that nearly all of them write to
me and it I but had the time nothing
would please me better than to sit
right down at my desk and write
each and every one a personal let-
ter. I, know that, I. would make
thousands Olf beautiful friendships.
but as it is I must content myself
with one letter at the beginning of
our page. each week to answer .all
that I rec'eive.'—-UNCLE NED. ,

OUR BOYS AND omns'

.Dear Uncle Ned—«I _a_.m a boy 12 years

Our aim is to see, who can get the high—

lowest side gives the other side a party.
I am on “The Silver Arrow" club and
last two months we won. They gave us
a- party last week. I am sending a story
which' some of you may enjoy reading.
Good-bye.-—- Frederick Reynolds, Wal-

Your story is very interesting,
Frederick, but we have so little
space and so many letters to pub-
lish ~in it that we cannot use your
story at this \time, maybe a little
later we can though, so I shall hold

it.

Dear Uncle Ned—I am eleven years
old and am in the seventh grade at

. schoolhouse and we

have a man teacher
this year. He is a very good teacher. I
am not going to tell about our farm and
my pets as I wrote about that once be-
fore, but I wish to tell my cousins how
much more I enjoy reading the Children’s
Hour since they are getting a little, “pep"
into their letters. I am not trying to
criticise . the page any, but I think it

"Being very much interested in

, , small fruits, I feel like paying due

tribute to the elderberry.

“I have found from experience that
the olderberry can be taken from the .
field or swamp and transplanwd- to »
the garden with excellent results.
Like all small fruits,
best it needs rich ground and thor-
ough cultivation until welk started.

“Two years ago I got two roots
from a nursery, took two from the
field, planted them',side by side.
Last summer the berries were fine
' on the field bushes and Immense in
:size of flours, bunch and berry on

the nursery stock.

“I know of a number of places
where wild elderberries growxalong
fences of cultivated fields and gard—
ens. In each instanco the fruit has
been very large, yet black and of
delicious flavor. When properly
cooked the elderberry makes most
palatable sauce and. pie. _

“Theso are \ straight facts, no
nurseryman’s imagination.”—Mrs.

E. L. Johnson, Huron County, Mich.

It seems strange that. so promis-
ing a fruit as the clderberryIshould
have been neglected'as It has been.

Bailey, in his “Evolution of Our
-Nation’s Fruits,” mentions the first
attempts at improving it in 1890,
which were apparently not seriously
undertaken. The berry has been too
plentiful in its wild state. Now since
"it is becoming harder to get every
year its value is likely to be appre-
ciated. .

 

BLUEBERRIES AND CRAN-
BERRIES

Inquiries for blueberry plants
have been received, which would
indicate’ that the fruit is getting
considerable attention. Cranberry
plants, too, are wanted. Both these
fruits ought to be produced in abuns
dance by Michigan growers. They
grow here naturally, all they need
is the proper encoulagement. A
well— kept cranberry field ought to be
valuable property ‘

Why do not those who have the
plants advertise them in the Busi-
ness Farmer? The inquiries re-
ceived would indicate that there are ,
many possible customers.

NOTES AND COMIWENTS

Watch for the green oaphids oil
the early leaves of the apple. Don’ t
waste arsenate of lead or any of the
poisons on them. Give them nicotine
in plenty. Tobacco will cure them
of indigestion for all time to come.
Black aphids on the chorrles'are
no better. Give them the same dose,
and do it early, before the leaves
curl, otherwise the spray does not
get to them. It must'toueh them in

If the plum trees do not bear, try
, grafting some of the limbs with a
different variety. It may be that
close. pollination is needed. That is
true of some plums.

It i O

i The names .of varieties are not al-
ways well chosen and lead to con-
! fusion. The J. H. Hale peach is an
example. It is easy for one unfamil-
iar with varieties to leave out the
J. H. when writing an order. This
agives the nursery man an opportun-
ity to substitute Ham’s Early, ’a
peach of a widely. diflerent type.
Then the customer will be sadly dis-
appointed. while the nurserymn's
conscience will not be hurt very
much. 80 it is with the R. I. Green--

or a dozen antique hens of all breeds
and colors. I did not pay much at-
tention to them. until my bank ac-
count began to dwindle and 11:;
money was forthcoming as yet from
the farm. Then I remembered- the
Wondrous tales I had read of money
in poultry: I had nothing but a de-
lapidated, leaky old barn to ‘house

‘ my chickens, but. by covering one

of the loft! over the big granary
with straw and putting in roasts,
putting in wiudawg out of the rest
of the born, I contrived a. “coop”
with air enough to prevent T. B.
We picked up an old. Belle City in-
cubator that had originally cost $5
or $6, and my husband rebuilt it
and. covered it with a. wood Jacket,
and we were ready for oureggs.

I bought R. I. Red eggs at market
price, and one setting of Barred
Rocks. My eggs cost for 4 settings
about $10 or $2. 50 each batch. The
machine did very well.VI gotas high
as 100 chix from 140 eggs. Then I
began to lose them. I just let them
out and put some old hens that I
had set at the same timowith them.
Then a family of wea. els found them
‘and destroyed a lot, . sold the cock-
orals as soon. as they were big-
enough (2 or 3 pounds) and by hard
labor and many heart aches I man-
aged to get 115 pallets and 10 roost-
era to keep. Then I sold the others
along and managed to make off of
my investment of $10 between $50
and $60, besides my flock.

This spring I am selling 20 to 30
‘dozen eggs 3. week. I have bought

-a 220-egg Incubator on the monthly

payment plan, from one of our har-

.. ware merchants, paying 85 a mont

I am hatching chix with both incu-
bators at. 10c each, and I am paying
for my incubator and intend to put
in a flock of thoroughbred R. I. Reds
this summer. At the present. price of
eggs I clear about $6. 00 a hundred
on my chin. ‘

At one our nearby towns I can
get eggs from thoroughbreds for $6
per hundred and sell at $14 per
hundred when hatched.

I have no exceptional chance as
four or my neighbors make a. busi-
ness of raising chix. I undersell.
them and am getting all the orders
I can handle. My advice to amateur
poultry ralsers is to get government
bulletins on poultry. A postcard will
bring the information that experts
have acquired.

To show the good they do let me
tell you of an incident. This spring
Roup got in all the docks, my own
included. One nian killed 70 of his

pallets, another paid $10 for mom--

cine from a doctor, after he lost
250. I leed up my bulletins and
found that 1 tablespoon of Sodium
Sulphifie to 1 gallon of drinking
Water woul prevent and cure. I got
one pound for 256, it stopped the
Roan. I lost tour in all, owing to not
knowing the Roup until it got a good
start.

I am proud of my flock, but shot!

“Gentlemen. ,1 are reports of so,
many losing their litttle chicks with .
White Diarrhea, so theng’ht I would .
tell my experience. I used to loco aI » '
great many from this cause, pried ‘
many remedies and Was about dish
com-aged As a: last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy (30., Dept 687' .
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Wad-kc
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used We
56c packages, raised 300 White
Wynndottes and never lost one or had
one sick after giving the medicine '. -
and my chickens - are larger and '
healthier than eyer before. I have
found this company "thoroughly re-
liable and aIWays get the remedy by

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by
the Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum.
This germ is transmitted to the.
baby chick through the yolk of the
newly hatched egg. Readers are
warned to beware of White Diar-
rhea. Don’t wait until it kills half
your chicks. Take the "stitch in
time that saves nine." Remember,
there is scarcely a hatch without
some infected chicks. Don't let. these
few infect your entire flock. Pro-r
vent ft. Give Walko In all drinking
water for. the first two weeks and
you Won’t lose one chick where you
lost hundreds before. These letters
prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind” writes: “I have lost my share
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fin.-
ally I sent for two packages of
Walko. I raised over 500 chicks and ,
I never lost a- single chick from
White eDi'arrhea. ' Walko not. only
prevents White Diarrhea,but it gives
the chicks strength and .vigor; they
develop quicker and feather earlier."

Never Lost One After First-Dose '

Mrs Ethel ' Rhodes, . Shennandoah, ‘
.-Iowa, Writes: “My first: incubattdr
chicks, when but a few days old, he.-
gan to die by the dozens with Wh te
Diarrhea. I tried different remedies .
and was ab ut discouraged with tie .
chicken bus ness. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy '00., Watcrloo,
Iowa, for a box of their Wake White
Diarrhea Remedy. It’ a just the only
thing for this terrible disease. We
raised 700 thrifty, healthy chicks
and never lost a single: chick alter
the first dose. ”’ .

butter. In her 7 best consecutive
days she pro.duced 518. 4 pounds
milk and 25.57 pounds butter. Her
best day of milk was 80. 7 pounds,
her best day of butter. was 4.19
These records are strictly
ofl‘lcial, beingconducted by Chas. A.
Stevens, official supervisor from the
Michigan Agricultural College.

At 5 years of age this cow made
in 7 consecutive days 490 pounds
milk and 20.385 pounds butter, and
at 3 years of age she made 395
pounds milk and 15.44 pounds but-
ter.

She comes from good breeding,
having two half-sisters ranking
,among the ten highest in the county.
Her sire traces back to several noted
strains, including the DeKOls and
Pietje...Pietje Queen DeKol making
42.26 pounds butter in.seven days
and seyeral others making about 35
pounds.

Her dam has just finished a yearly

(record of 22.921 pounds of milk and

895 lbs. butter. The year previous-
she made in 10~months 16,281 lbs.
milk and £54 butter making 39,102
pounds milk and 1549 pounds but-
ter, a total of 1 year and 10 months.
She is at present owned in Canada.
but was previously owned by Mr.
Clouzgh being one ocf his foundation
cows. This helps to show that his
herd of 22 females from the begin-
ning has come from goodbreeding.

Other features about the herd are
that every animal of milking age
has an A. R. 0. record and that 7
at the present time are on the long
time test. His herd is also on the ac-
credited list, being State and Fed-

eral tested for tuberculosis. ~—

There are two kinds of bots which
infest American cattle. They repre-»
sent the larval stages of the heelfly.
The adult flies are about half an inch
long and resemble bees somewhat in
appearance. They appear in warm
weather and lay their eggs in the

Open, upon cattle, often frightening

the stock, making them nervous, and
even causing them to stampede. It is.
maintained by some authors that the

CONTRACT 1» flies puncture the skin—in laying the

eggs; other authors deny this, main--
taining that the cattle lick the eggs.
from the skin, so that the infection
is thru the mouth. Young bots are
found in the wall of the esophagus;
Older bots appear under the skin at
various parts of the body, especially:

' (Continued from page 6)

“That in any of the navigable or

at this state or the United States.
the people shall have the right to
‘catch fish with 31001;: and line dur-

to prevent the use of that stream as

the state, that it cannot be invaded,
we are of the opinion that no one

CHICKS HAVE TROUBLE IN
SHELLS -

Will you please let me know what is
the matter with my eggs The chicks
develop but seem to be unable to break
through the shell. have had consider-
able trouble with t em this year. I use
an incubator. but have never had that
trouble before? Also please .tell me where
the Early Bird incubator is manufac-
tured if possible?—-Mrs. E. M. T. Stan-
ton, Mich.

This trouble is usually due to
either low vitality breeding stock or
faulty incubation. If the breeding
stock has been closely confined
throughout the winter or if the male
birds have been injured due to frost,
or other causes, the germs seem to
lack vitality, and develop with~ a
lack of "pep" to complete the hatch.
Nutrition is also one of the big prob-

 

"lems that influences the hatchabil-

ity of the. egg. If the birds have
been forced under artificial lighting
or have been over stimulated, in pro:
duction by a. heavy feeding of meat
scraps, similar results are liable to
occur. Green food is essential to high
hatchability of the egg and the lib--
oral feeding of Icorn in the ratIOn
is also benefiCial.

Of" paramount importance is the
constitutional vigor in the breeding
stock.- The birds should be large
and well developed. Late hatched
chicks producing small eggs very
seldom give satisfactory hatches.
One of the greatest problems in in-
cubation is the available supply of
moisture and fresh air If th'é ma-
chine is operating in a room that is
artificially heated. too much evap-
oration occurs during the incubation
period, which affects the vitality of
the embryo, and causes low hatch-
ability of the egg.

We ordinarily recommend locat-
ing the incubator in the basement
where the moisture conditiOns and
temperature conditions are usually
ideal for this work. —E. C. Foreman,
Associate Professor of Poultry Hus-
bandry,‘M. A. C.

The “Early Bird” incubator is not
listed in any of the buyers’ guides
at our disposal. It is either an ob-
scure trade name or else is no longer
manufactured. If you; are in the
market for an incubator weshall
be pleased to put you ;in’touch with
reliable manufacturers.\—Edi.tor.

ORIGIN OF BRONZE TUBKEYS
Can you tell me in what country the
Bronze ‘ turkey originated? —— Reader,
Oakland County.
. The Bronze turkey is a native of
America and, was domesticated by
the ancient civilized people of Mexi-
co and Peru. It was imported by
breeders about the middle ‘of the

last century. Oceasiona'lly, new. blood ‘

was introduced from captive wild
stock. —E. C. Foreman, Associate
Professor at Poultry Hudban’dry, M.

RO‘BABLY more progress has
been made toward the much-
coveted goal of uniform busi-

.ness activity, during the last row
'. night, than during the entire quarter

year that immediately preceded the
beginning of that period. From all
points of the compass, come encour-
aging reports of increasing business
and industrial activity; The men,
who are most, familiar with labor
conditions in the district surround«
ing Detroit, claim that- the problem
of unemployment has been solved, at
least, to the extent to which it con—
cerns skilled labor. A widespread
revival of work‘ in connection with
the building trades, is reported and
as a direct result, the demand for
all grades of lumber and'builders’
hardware is‘becoming more active
and prices are firming—up, perceptib—
ly, in all of these lines.

Basic industries are showing more
activity than at any preceding‘date
since the beginning of 1920; produc—
tive °opcrations, in connection with
steel and iron, are rapidly approach—
ing normal, and paint manufacturers
report the largest demand that they
have ever knowu. The demand for

‘wool. is improving, rapidly, as a re-

sult of reported firmness in all for—
eign wool markets. - ‘

From the standpoint or the Ameri—
can farmer, conditions and the’gen-
eral outlook are much more encour-
aging than on any preceding date
since the signing of the armistice, it
is universally conceded that Ameri-
ca must furnish the food that the
world consumes during the next six
months, especially, is this true in
connection with cereals, m'eat and
lard. In connectionwith the bulk
supply of food products, we are
rapidly approaching the period of
restricted movement, dire necessity,
in the form of maturing'financial

. obligations, has forced the American

farmer to cash nearly everything
that he owned and the inference is _
that we are about to enter upon a
period of “lean picking.”

So much for the producers side of
the proposition.— How about the
consumer? For many months, the
rank and file of the American public
have been in a pessimistic mood, the
.scene has changed and a distinct
note of optomism is heard on every~
hand. We are entering upon a.
period of unprecedented business
and industrial activity, the volume
in consumption of all staple pro-
ducts dwindled during the recent
months of extreme business and in-_
dustrial depression and, in the same
ratio, will consumption records in-
crease by leaps and bounds as the
anticipated revival becomes a self-
evident fact. .

‘In connection with the trade in
cereals, the lateness of the spring
which is now considered two weeks
behind the normal average of other
years, is having a. distinct bearing
and as a'direct result, the movement
flmarketward during the next 60
days, is sure to be light. The situa—
tion, as it applies to the oats crop,
is little less than alarming as late
sowing generally means a small
yield of under weight grain.

During the first half of April, the
New York Stock Exchange has been
booming with several old— fashioned
“big days” to its credit, steel com-
men, which has always been consid-

ered the accurate barometor of re— '

turning prosperity after a prolonged
period of business- depression, has
sold above par, several times of late.
