legislation of benefit to agriculture
and the state .in general. He has

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, MR.
' MILK PRODUCER?

0R several years the July price of milk
in the Detroit area has been consid-
erably higher than the June price, ow- '
ing to the greater scarcity of milk. The
June, 1921, price was $2.28, and the July,
1921,-price, $2.77,. an increase of 21.49
per cent. The June, 1922 price was $2.13
and the-July, 1922 price. $2.25, an increase
of onlyififi per cent. What’s the matter?
Have the people of Detroit quit using milk,
or have the bounteous rains of the past
few weeks increased the milk flow, or is it
just a. case of ‘ftake it or‘ leave it?” Last
year at this time thousands of men were
out of work in Detroit and the Detroit dis-
tributors used. that argument in forcing
down the price of milk. Most of these
men are: now employed. It the condition
of employment worked last year to bring
about a reduction in milk prices, ought it
not to work equally as well to bring about
an increase this year? Milk producers who
are.conducting their business at a loss just
now should watch these price fluctuations
and not let their losses increase the already
large profits of the Detroit distributors. In
this case as in all others, “eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty."

1 Who Lost the Most Money Last Year, Beet Growers or Manufacturers?

HE annual statement of the Michigan Sugar

Company \for the year ending June 30th is
out. It shows a loss on sales and inventory of
finished products carried over from the previous
year, of $214, 706. 62, and an operating loss for

the year of $877, 869. 62, or a total loss fer the

year of. $1 2,22 839. 74. That’s bad.

But not so very bad. Because at the end of
the previous year the company had a surplus of
$8,122,4_.62 44 which they had accumulated as a
result of low-priced beets and high- -priced sugar,

so that after deducting their loss they still have».
on hand the tidy sum of. $1, 899, 622. 70, and in

addition they paid total dividends during the

year of $130, 263. 50.
How many dividends did the growers of last

‘year’s bept crop pay themselves? How high a

salary did they draw for their labor and super-
vision? How much of a- cash surplus did they

- have left at the end of the season? _,_

It is too bad that the sugar companies lost
money last year, but how nice it was that they
had a big surplus to fall back\ upon. Farmers

.U- OF M. AUTHORITY MISQUOTED ON
‘ SUGAR STATEMENT
A few days ago a Detroit daily newspaper con-
tained an alleged interview >with Prof. A. E.

White, director of the department of engineering 7

research, at U. of M. The article dwelt at consid-
erable length upon the losses the factories were
supposed to have met last year, and quoted Prof.
White as ascribing the reason for the reduced

acreage this year to-the manufacturers’ unwilling- ‘

nose to take contracts. rather than to the farmers’
failure to sign‘beca‘use of the low price. The
article also quoted Prof. White as saying that
“the farmer made all the mopey there wasmade
in the sugar business in Michigan last year.”

In a communication to Prof. White the Busi-
ness Farmer asked him upon what information ‘
he based his belief that the beet growers made
money last year. Also why he should infer that
the farmers were willing to grow beets at the un-
profitable prices if the manufacturers would ac-
cept their contracts. To this letter Proi.,White
replied, emphatically denying that he had ever
made such a statement or inference.

In passing, we cannot refrain from asking if
the sugar beet growers have dropped their fight
for a square deal and a fair share Of the profits,
or are they to continue indefinitely to take what
the factories will offer, losing money one year
and breaking even the next.

AGERMAN 'battleship in
1915 sailed into Newport
News, surrendered, and hauled
down the flag. The men and
the ship were interned for the
period of the war.

They had plenty of-shot and
shell. They had lots of food——
meat, potatoes, white flour and
sugar. Yet with full stomachs
they were starving. Sickness
attacked them, robbed them of
their vitality ol‘body and mind,
and they deliberately chose in-
ternment to escape the horror
of this mysterious disease.

What was the matter with
this diet of good foodstuffs?

Something was missing. The

missing element “yitamincs.”
A doctor would diagnose the
sickness, 'as “undernour-
ishment."

The missing ‘food that

Whatever was missing from
their diet could have been sup~
plied by fresh milk. A few
cows would have saved the
battleship.

Some ptople, heavy eaters of
heavy foods, would ridicule the
idea that they are undernour-
ished. In the ordinary course
of eating, they gt: some vita-
mines from fresh vegetables
and the dairy products they
do eat.

They have no visible symp-
toms of disease, yet they are
not altogether well.

It would bl: better for such‘
people—for all of us—toeat
less heavy food and drink more
milk.

OT long ago George W. Slocum, president of
the N. Y. Dairymcn’s, League Co—operative
Association Inc., said:

”Although the sale of milk in New York City
has increascd fifty per cent in the last ten years,
yet if all the milk received in the metropolis
were given to the children, each youngster would
get only a' pint a day, or less than half the
amount which physicians and food experts say
every growing child needs. On the other hand, if
every man, woman and child took an additional
tab’lespoonful of milk daily, there would not be
enough cows in our present herds to supply the
demand. ”

Yet, in spite of the importance of milk as a
food, there is apparently much more being pro-
duced than can be consumed in its fluid state and
dairy farmers have been compelled to accept
prices that do not even cover the cost of produc-
tion. One of the most important things, there-
fore, for the dairymen to do, for their own wel-

fare as well as for that of the community, is to,

increase the use of milk and milk products.
Plainly, it would be hopeless fonthe dairy farm—
er to attempt to do this individually, but the.
experience of the Dairymen’s League Co—opera-
tive Association shows that it can effectively be
done by co—operation. It is a striking fact, in this
connection, that during the fiscal year ending
March 31, 1922, the deduction made for adver—

was only 3. 01 per 100 pounds.
There is no doubt that educational publicity

' along the right lines can help greatly to increase

the consumption of milk. But heretofore prac-
tically all the advertising done in the dairy field
has been done by the dealers and has been of
little or no value to the dairy farmer. '

Educating the Consumer

What the dairy farmer needs is something that
will encourage the more general use of milk. It
is a matter of “out of sight, out of mind. ” There
is not as much milk drunk in the cities, either by
adults or children, as there should be, for the
reason that its merits are not brought to the at-
tention of the public.

The Dairymen’s League Co—operative Associa-
tion, Inc., is therefore spending thousands of dol-
lars annually to educate people up to the food
value of milk, how necessary its use is to pre-
serve health, and its other merits. This publicity
work has been entrusted to experts in that line.

Most of the efforts to bring about the wider
use of milk have been conéentrated on New York
City. Much newspaper space has been used; a
series of instructive as well as entertaining ad-
vertisements are being run in the prominent daily
and evening papers. Some of th‘ese'advertise-
ments catch the interest of the reader through
some quaint or curious fact about milk. For
instance, one advertisement gave some interest-
ing and little- known information about whale’s
milk. Another quotes Benjamin Franklin, who
said: “I eat it out of a two penny earthen por~
ringer with a pewter spoon,’ referring to his
breakfast of bread and-milk. Still others tell
about the dairymen of various foreign countries.

One hundred and fourteen wall bulletins are
being used to drive home to city dwellers the
value of milk as a drink and as a food. These
are attractively painted in blue and white, the
colors of the association, and their message is so
simple that it cannot be missed. They read:
“drink milk, eat milk, it’s food.” The location
of these bulletins has been considered with great
care, the purpoSe being to reach the greatest

number of people, as they travel about the city,

either on pleasure or business. They aim! to ap-
peal to all classes: the foreigner understanding
little English; the banker of wall street, the clerk.

istenographer, office worker or executive of the
' business sections,

the wealthy people of Fifth
Avenue or Riverside Drive, for they all need milk
for the preservation of health.

Four of the bulletins are illuminated at night.

'These have been erected‘at points where thous;

ands of people pass continually, day and night,
including many visitors to the city. One bulletin
for example, is located at Broadway and 37th
street, a section which somebody has aptly re-
ferred to as “the crossroads of the world.”

Still other means are being used toarouse in-
terest. For instance, the association has just had
a contest among the students of the high schools

spouse to repeated demands from the‘ Progres-
sive Voters’ League.

As we said at the start this is an important

‘ngon ONE WILL m PEOPLE-
‘ ' ' CHOOSE?
' N the political horizon the names
' of several, of Michigan’s sons
are appearing, with designs on
the executive office at Lansing, and
it is to be hoped that the electorate

"
1mm.
t.

of our state will carefully investigate ,

the qualifications of the-”aspirants
for this very important oflc‘e. ,
The disappointment. resulting

‘from the manner in which the pres-

ent executive has conducted the du-
ties of this responsible trust, should-
cause the careful selection’of a man
who will ,have a proper regard Tor
the expressed wishefand interests
of the people instead of being guid-
ed solely by his own idiosyncrasy.’

In announcing his candidacy, Hon. '

Theodore M. Josliu, of Adrian, has
expressed his views on some of the
present important public matters.
dealing especially with the manner
in which our present executive is con-
ducting financial affairs which state-
ment should be read and most care-
fully considered by every citizen and
especially by the heavy burdened tax-
payer of Michigan. ' .
Some lessening of the tax burden
is a present demand of the people
and the man, who can and will exe-
cute properly the duties of governor,
having regard for the highest good
of all of the people is the proper
man to place in the executive office.
In this connection it may be pro-
per to'call attention to the fact that
the congestion of the people in our
cities, many of xwhom are of foreign
birth and sentiments, while the
rural population has, in like ratio,
decreased is cause. for alarm lest
class-living and class—legislation
shall weaken, fatally, the foundation
of our republic. Intelligent» patriotic
thought, put into action, by the peo-
ple, will assure our nation's safety.
And now, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, it
is your plain duty to fully inform

yourself in regard to the qualifica— _

tions of those citizens who desire to
occupy the office of governor of
Michigan, and, indeed, of all who as!-
pire to position of public trust, and
then express your decision thereof,
with your ballot, which “executes the
Freeman’s Will, as lightning does
the Will of God,.” .

If you fail to do your duty in this
matter, you will have cause for self-
blame, if the duties of the Executive
continue to be conducted to the det-
rement of the best interests of all
of the people. Very sincerely.--J. T.
Daniels.

' in me March'llth issue of the M. B.
F. we said that the man who comes for-
ward with the "most definite and practi—
cal program for the reduction of taxes
will be the next Governor of Michigan.”
We have waited patiently for this gentle-
man. but he hasmot showed up. .
Joslin is not the man. and it is to, smile
to think of Mr. Fletcher in terr’ns of
economy. Such campaign literature as
we have men from either of these two
gentlemen appears to have had its in—
spiration from the columns of the Michi-
gan Citizen, state democratic .organ.
which is opposed to all followers of the
G. 0. P. elephant, as all good democrats
ought to be. But neither of the two men
seeking the Groesbeck toga. have present-
ed that “definite and‘ practical program"
and are far less qualified to represent
the people than the present incumbent.
We don’t like some things Mr. Groesbeck“
has done. but those who blame him for
the high taxes are only fooling them-
selves. The causes of present high taxes
had their inception long before Mr. Gross—
beck became governor and his adminis-
tration is bearing the brunt of his pre-
decessors mistakes. It is the ques-
tion of centralized government rather
than taxation upon which Mr. Groesbeek’s
candidacy for a second term should fall
or succeed. What better plan for co-
ordinating the functions of the state de—
partment do Mr. Groesbeck’s critics offer?

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS

HAVE read with a great deal of

interest the discussion on the

consolidated school question. The
real vital thing has never been
touched upon and for the life of me
I cannot see why the educators (1')
have never discussed it.

The success .of the farmers of to-‘
morrow’ is going. to be or rather
ought to be dependent largely on
what is taught in our rural schools.

.What are we getting for our invest-

ment (taxes)! You 'see after all it

= Ties business proposition. The course»
' of students from the ninth to twelfth
gyms: includeihese:

seemetry.~ physics;

canny. summed-s "epittéé’lil ,
gafiic chemistry. Aggood- share , f

it
boy’s .time‘ is taken sup in studies
thatgive no dividends whatever for

 

money invested. The ' agricultural
course is so superficial that if lie
‘ desires to be a sure 'enonsh anoated
farmer he. must depend on the M.
A. C. at Lansing and not 'onntho
* rural school.’ _ . , _.

. Do you‘ think that if the'padvoe
_ cakes of this kind of a’ school would
come. before a bunch of liard‘ head-
ed business men with a . similar

”proposition—Aprovid’ing no means of

vocational training—that they Would
put it through? No. sir. Vocational

training is taught everywhere—«er,

cept in rural schools. From the vary
first grade the child should be
taught the beauty of. the' flowers,
the seasons, etc., and when he has
passed his twelfth grade, his know-
ledge of his chosen profession should
be so comprehensive that he can
step into his father’s shoes with a
better knowledge of the business
end of farming.

Until the course of studies in our
rural schools is radically changed,
farming as a business will not come
into its own and our boys and girls
will leave home for the cities. The
course of studies taught at the M.
A. C. should be largely taught at
home, leaving to the M. A. C. re-
search work chiefly. I might add a
,lot,more by discussing the course
of studies and the opportunities
that should be given successful
farmers to teach the boys and girls
certain departments of farm work
that have been a success with them.
But until a change has been made,
every farmer should discourage the
attempt to add any more expense
to the school budget.

I wish to thank you, Mr. Editor;

in closing, for your frank discussion
on matter' relating to farm life.
I keep in pretty close touch with
many so—called agricultural papers.

But you are there with the goods.
' More power to you and your paper.

“WHY NOT SALOME?"

ND why not Salome? Where A.
W., Williamsburg, 9. student of
Bible history she would know

that Salome was the wife of Zebedee
and had the distinction of being the
mother of James and of John—“that
decipleuwhom Jesus loved." Jesus
ate at her table and she gave him
of her substance. One day when
Jesus was at the house of Salome,
she said, with pardonsble mother
pride, “I would of my two sons that
one might sit on Thy right hand and
one on Thy left hand when Thou
comest into Thy kingdom." And I
am of the opinion that when our Sa-
vior answered “What thou askest
is not mine to give" He did so re-
gretfully.- -

In Mark sixteenth chapter, first
verse, it reads: “And when the Sa-
bath was past, Mary Magdalene, and
Mary, the mother of James, and Sa-
lome had bought sweet spices that
they might come and anoint Him."

0f Rome’s multitude only three
watched at the tomb of our Savior.
Mary the mother, Mary Magdalene
and Salome!

When we attempt to criticise, we
should know what we are talking

is immoral when he or she breaks

The word immoral cannot be' ap-
plied, understandingly, to inanimate
objects. ‘

In talking to multitude Jesus
said, “Take no thought of what you

you are clothed ' ‘ ‘ is not the

_ THE LIQUOR PROBLEM
AVING read with interest some
of your views in regard to the
‘ liquor problem, I’ve been curious
to know Whether you Would care to
insert mine in your valuable paper.
It seems that in getting rid of, the
saloons in this particular
nity, which boasted about thirty-one

 

of them, there has sprung up about ‘

one hundred bootleggers to take
their place, and some of them were
perfectly honest previbusly but have
gone into (the busineSs for the money
there is in it, and have grown quite
prosperous. '

Far be it from me to sanction
anything of ’that kind, for to my
mind there is nothing so disgusting
u a man or woman under the in-
fluence of liquor.
to as an egotist and one or two other

things by some people, perhaps it's I
because I haven't been endowed by a j

divine providence with that high‘or
order of intelligence ’which some
people seem to think they possess.
About, the only way to eliminate the
liquor «traffic is to explain to the
people what fools they make out of
themselves when they are under it’s
influence. This can only be done
thru the papers, the churches and
schools.

We generally find that the average
person has a certain amount of pride
and selfrespect and if taught that
getting drunk is nothing to be proud
of, but a thing to be despised, it,
will do more good than all the prof
hibition agents in the United States.

In conclusion let me state that
the average person 'who drinks
doesn't know any better, is proud
of it,.and brags about the so-called'
big time for _ weeks afterwards—4'.
F. 3., Monroe, ‘

Even if there are five. bootleggers now
to every saloon when the country was

wet. which I doubt, they are not dis—’
pensing one hundredth as ‘much booze,

and for every bootlegge'r who‘s headed '
‘ for hell. there -are a. hundred men

_ It is an interesting fact that "this Reo

originally intended for farm service.

There were several trucks of the I old
types that would perform on paved city
streets: ' '

7 But once off the hard, even surface—-

' That Reo Four motor is unquestionably
the greatest motor ever built—bar none.

After more than ten years in service
there is none to dispute that.

Speed too was essential if the truck were
to pay for itself in saving of time, of

CUTTING ALFALFA FOR SEED

Could you tell me if cutting alfalfa
for seed this tall would in any way in—
jure the crop for next spring cutting for
the' hay?»—B. K. M.

Harvesting alfalfa for seed is not
likely to injure the seed provided
the seed crop is not out too late in
the fall. It is advisable to cut the
alfalfa in time for the plants to make
five or six inches top growth before
winter sets in. If but little top
growth is made the sand is likely
to be thinned by winter-killing. It
is customary to cut the first crop of
alfalfa for hay allowing the second
crop to set seed, that is, when a seed
crop is desired. Weather conditions
will determine to quite an'extent
whether this .is advisable or not.
When there is an excess of rainfall
the seed crop is likely to be light.

Crops, M. A.

 

SWEET CLOVER WILL NOT KILL
QUACK GRASS

I have a field that has lots of quack
grass and thistles in it and I read that
sweet clover was good to get rid of such
a pest. Now this field is in oats and
barley. Would you advise sowing in the
fall? If so at What time?——H. E. C.,
Secord, Mich.

Sweet clover is a fairly good crop
to rid land of thistles but will not
likely subdue the quack grass. This
is because the sweet clover makes a.
quick, “rank growth and is usually
out twice during the season. If the
soil is in condition to secure a good
stand of alfalfa it would be much
better than sweet clover. Alfalfa is

usually cut three times during the-

season and lasts from five to seven
years, while sweet clover completes
its cycle the second year. If you
wish to seed the sweet clover during
the fall would suggest that you use
unscarified seed and sow it quite late;
so late that the seed will not ger-
minate until spring. We have found
spring seedings more reliable.
Clean cultivation is the best
method for eradicating quack grass.

late summer and tall, tall plow and
cultivate frequently with spring
tooth barrow during the spring and
early summer. If the season is tav—
orable for frequent cultivation the
quack may likely be subdued sufli-
ciently to plant some clean cultivat-
ed crop during mid—summer. Other-
wise it is advisable to summer fal-
low.--C. R. ' Megee, Associate in
Farm Crops, M. A. C.

inst Wore the blossom buds em.

The height of cutting is my im-
portant. The second year sweet
clover does not propagate 1mm a
crown as does alfalfa, but propa—
gates from buds in the axils of the
branches and leaves on the lower
portion of the stalk. If the first
outing of the second year is made
below the young branches, which
bear leaves, the stand will be de-
stroyed and the second crop will not
be secured.

Sweet clover is more difficult to
cure into hay than either alfalfa or
red clover. This is largely due to

the large amount of moisture con-w

tained within the plant at the time
of cutting, causing the shattering of

the leaves from the stems before the

stems have cured out

One of the most successful meth—
ods of curing sweet clover hay is to
allow the plants to wilt in the swath,

stage of growth most at the leaves
have fallen on and no difliculty is
experienced in curing. A sweet clover
plant does not mature all of its seed
at one time, consequently the proper
stage at which to harvest is when
from 60 to 75 per cent of the seed
pods have turned brown.
Sweet' clover seed may be threshed
with the ordinary grain thresher. If

very. dry most of the seed will be .
hulled, it slightly damp very few seed .

will be hulled. When the grain
thresher does not remove the hull it
may be removed with aclover huller
or a sweet clover seed scarifier. Due
to the greater capacity of the grain

thresher it is better' adapted for

threshing sweet clover than the clov-
er huller. ,

ORCHARD

EDITED BY FRANK D. WELLS

STOCK FOB CEEBRIES _

Will you tell me what seed is planted
to grow the Montmorency cherry? AsI
understand it, all cherries are budded or
grafted to make them bear true to name.
I have been told that most nurseries im-
port their seed from France. In this
the common practice with nurseries and
if so where do they get their seed for
propagafion?—H. C. 0.. Grand Traverse
County.

There are two kinds oi.’ stock used
by our nurserymen in propagating
cherries, both sweet and sour varie-
The mahaleb is the more commonly
ties. The Mabaleb and the Mazzard.
used, since it is easier to bud, but
the Mazzard makes the more vigor-
ous tree.

Very little stock for cherries is
groWn in this cOuntry. Our nursery-
men prefer to import it Virom France,
Where, in some localities, the grow-
ing of seedlings is an important
branch of horticulture. This stock

has been grown at such a low cost '

that Americans have not cared to
compete with Europe in its produc-
tion, but since 1914 the price has
advanced so much that our nursery-
men are seriously considering the
possibilities ct home production.

Little seedling cherries are im-
ported during the winter, when they
are pruned, both root and top. In
each spring they are planted in rows
about four feet apart, and about
eight inches apart in the row. In'
July and August the budding is
done. The seedling is cut away the
following spring, leaving the bud to
develop into a tree.

The propagation of the cherry may
seem easy enough, but in practice it
is the most difllcult of the common
orchard fruits. To know when the
bark is in the right condition to re-
ceive the buds is Something to be
learned by experience. As a result,
there is often a heavy loss 01 stock
because the buds , have failed to
"catch. " Such trees result, of course,
in nothing but seedling stock and

  

tion that is reaSonably sure, it will ’.
be the favorite stock for budding the ' '

cherry.

 

GRO W IN G APRICO’I‘S

Would you advise growmg apricots in
the latitude, say of Port Huron? What
price should they bring.
peaches or plums? Would a location suit-
able to peaches be good too apricots?—

.L. B... Lapeer County.

It is somewhat risky to give ad-
vice on such a. subject. Under favor-
able condltio s the apricot can be
grown in the atltude of Port Huron,

in fact, the tree can be grown where

the peach can, but as to the produc-'

tion of fruit, that is a different story.
The blossoms are out early, several
days before the peach or cherry. As
a result, they are frequently caught
by a frost that is too early for other
fruits. The best record we have
heard was for some trees in central
Oakland county which produced on
the average a goOd crop once in
three years, with usually some fruit
every summer. These trees were on
high land and heavy clay soil. ‘

As a tree the apricot is hardier
than the peach and endures neglect
better. If. the fruit is as well
sprayed as the plum it should be free
from insects, otherwise good fruit

should not be expected as the cur-

culis will spoil it.

The price for apricots is higher ‘
than for ‘the peach, besides they rip- “
on earlier, so have the market to

themselves, and should be gone by
the time homegrovfn peaches are
ripe. But they are sold in small
quantities, as compared with the
pouch or the plum.

There should be a place in South—
ern Michigan, for such 9‘. fruit as the '
apricot. It would seem as' though“

velcpinsnt or late-blooming varieti

“Jim-Dandy” Truck

Model K-16 One Ton

It’s a Jim-Dandy! That’s the universal
opinion of the GMC one ton truck.

Fast on the road, powerful in the hard go-
ingand ccommical all the time, this sturdy
honest-to-goodness ,truck' is just a “Jim-
Dandy" for the farm.

It will haul produce, stock, milk and any
other kmd of load better and cheaper than
a meter truck has ever done before. i

For this GMC has improvements which
are away in advance of ordinary 'motOr
truck construction and which make possi-
ble‘morc continuous haulage, lower operat-
mg and lower maintenance costs. Such
features as Removable Cylinder Walls,
Pressure Lubrication, Removable Valve
Lifter Assemblies and Instantaneous Gov-
ernor, are all designed to produce the kind
.of performance that is vital to the success
of amotor truck on the farm”,

Model K-16 in a real motor truck, built
entirelyof truck units—no passenger car

In addition it is built in the most approved
designs of motor truck construction. For
instance, this one ton truck has Magneto
Ignition, admittedly the most reliable type.

The Ignition is simple, just four wires
leading from the Magneto to the spark
plugs and all in the open where it can be
readily inspected.

The Model K-16 also has Electric Lights,
Starter and Generator with a Storage Bat-
tery built especially for motor truck use
and of extra capacity. The wiring is all
carried in metal conduits and is entirely
separate from the Ignition System.

Demountable Rims, Cord Tires, Pressure
Gun lubrication of the chassis. Extra
Switch for spot light and Interchangeable
Brake Rods are other GMC refinements.

No truck of like quality has ever been ofi'cred at as
low a price as this chassis—$1295 u the factory.

Careful tests conducted on the
time of sowing various farm crops
indicates that the moon phaSes have
nojinfluence on the yield of ‘crops
secured. Some crops require a.
warmer seed bed than others, while
some demand cooler growing sea-
sons; consequently, there is a. time

’ STATE‘S SHARE OF ROAD
REWARD

I What are the disadvantages of taxing
a township for 5 per cent of its assessed
value for the purpose of building good
roads? Would such township receive state
reward in this case and to What extent?
Who would have to maintain said roads,
the township or state?—F. P., Metamora.
Mich.

In reply to the first question
would say that I know of no disad-
vantages in .taxin‘g a township for
the improvement of the highways
therein as it has been the experience
of the writer that most township
highways are sadly in rneed of im—
provements.

In reply to the second inquiry will
say that the state reward would be
paid to the township on the con-
struction and completion of the road
in accordance with the state's spe-
cifications, the amount depending
on the cost of the road the state
paying 25 'per cent of the cost.

As for the question of mainten-
ance will say that the statute im-
poses the duty upon the township
to maintain ‘these roads, but the
state pays what is called an annual
maintenance fund which is an
amount of 6 per cent of the amount
of state reward paid on such road
{which sum shall not in any case ex-
ceed $100 per mile—State Highway

TAX TITLE PROCEDUKE

 

Through your valuable paper can you~

give methe law in regard to buying tax
title land. How many years taxes do
you have to hold before. you can get a
deed and .what charges are there besides
the taxes?—-—Mrs. O. P., Gould City, Mich.

If the taxes cu real estate are not
paid to the collector when due they
are returned to the county treasurer,-
as delinquent. Within the time pro-
vided in' the law the county treasurer
reports such delinquents and the de-
scription of the land upon wh_ich the
tax is not paid to the Auditor Gen-
eral, at Lansing.

Within the time provided in the
law ‘the auditor files his petition in
the Circuit Court for the county
where the property is located re-
quiring the owner to show cause
why the property should not be sold
for the tax. If 'no sufficient reason
is showin‘why the property should
not be sold for the tax, then the
auditor general advertises the pro-
perty for sale on a certain date at
the office of the county treasurer. If
thetax is not paid before the day
of' sale the county treasurer offers
the land for sale for the tax. Bidders
are on hand to bid the amount of
the, tax and takes a. certificate of
sale for the tax bid. ,The owner has
until the first Tuesday in May fol.-
lowing the sale to redeem the
property. If not redeemed be-
fore said first Tuesday in May fol—
lowing the sale. After said first
Tuesday in" May the purchaser may
present his certificate of' sale to the
auditor general and, if not redeemed,
the auditor general shall issue to
said purchaser a deed of the land
described, which deed shall be en—
titled to record. 'Such deed sha‘ll
convey an absolute title to the land
and the state may put the purchaser
in possession by a Writ of assistance.

-But the law provides that no writ
of assistance shall be issued until
six months after there shall have
been filed with the county clerk of
the county where the lands-are sit—
uated, a return by the sheriff of the
county showing that he has made
personal service of a notive, or proof
of substituted service, as therein

provided, upon the person or'pery

sons appearing by the records in the
'oflice of the register of deeds of said
county, to be the last grantee in the
regular chain of title, etc, showing

that the land has been sold at tax

COVERT ROAD ASSESSMENT

I have a farm of eighty acres in Sani-

'Sanilac and

four miles from the Huron pike road.
Now can a board assess me as much as
people one mile, to three .miles from
same road? I have paid out in the four
years on this Huron pike $109.12, which
makes $27.28 a year, and which is no
benefit to me whatever. Now the trunk
line twenty-seven miles will be a, lhalf
mile from my farm in Washington. Will
I have to pay as much, me-living in

HOUSING COMPANIES AS AN
INVESTMENT

Is the Lincoln Housing Company a re-
liable firm? I don’t like their line of ad-
vertisement. It is located in Lincoln, Nab.
-—A. P., St. Johns, Mich.

The certificates of the Lincoln
Housing Trust of St. Louis Were ap-

proved by this commission a year.
, ago. This approval was made after

a thorough investigation including a
visit of the Chief Accountant of this
‘commissionjo St. Louis and. the com-
mission was unable to find anything:
in the plan of operation which was'
fraudulent or which might work a
fraud upon the purchasers of these
certificates. '

The company is based upon the
old English theory of pooling money
and lending it to yourself and is a
type of several which have'operated
at various times and in various parts
of this country. It is practically a
co-operative scheme of raising mon—
ey for loans to members of the co-
operative club or association, or
"whatever it might be called. As we

‘understand it it is under the super—
vision of the Building & Loan De—
partment of the state of Missouri.—
Michigan Securities Commission.

The following editorial from the
Wall Street Journal upon the sub-
ject of housing companies Will be
found of interest:

“All over the west are springing
up so—called housing concerns that
promise homes with 4 per cent mon-
ey. Go down—to a local bank in the
west and they "will still charge you
7 per cent for money on govern—
ment bonds for security and at the
same bank they will pay you 4 per
[cent for deposit money, payable on
demand and secured by all the su—
pervision and legislation that can
protect our national banking sys-
tem. . . ~

1 “‘Yet unincorporated groups of so-
called financiers without capital or
risk of a dollar of their own money
will boldly step forward in the mar—
ket place and promise the ‘dear pee-
pul’ 4 per cent money withwhich to
build homes provided only you begin
trusting your savings at so many dol—
lars a month with the aforesaid fi—
vnanciers. The feature of a home
based on borrowed money at 4 per
cent is so enticing that the disposi—
tion of the preliminary payments is
glOssed over or lose sight of. In
brief, the 4 per cent housing pro-
moters will put your first six month-
ly payments at the risk of total loss,
for unless you continue beyond those
six monthly payments, you forfeit all
interest in your prospective 4 per
cent home. The first four payments
_are to go to pay expenses and make
profits for the promoters of the
scheme. ’11? after more than six'

months’ payments you drop out of.
the» enterprise you 'have .a discount '

refundfvalire for your payments,
5Y0 are. promised ,an investment to

"The Farm Paper of Service"

 

Some Jokers in the Tarifi Law

OU’VE heard the story of the man who

summoned the housewife to the front dog:
and engaged her in conversation W111]:
partner entered the back door and ransacked
the house! We are afraid that’s about what
has hap cued in consideration of the pending
tarifi bill

A good deal of attention has been given to
the tariff schedules on agricultural products,
‘ and a good many fanners have actually been
led to believe that they are to secure enormous
benefits as a result of the adoption of these
schedules. In instances, they are to receive
some benefit. In others, ‘none. But be that
as it may, while the farmer has occupied a
chair in the front row' of the show, the thieves
have been at work and schedules have been
inserted in the tariif bill which, if adopted,
may cost the farmer many times over the pal-
try benefits he may receive from the tariff on
his own products.

Take the single item of aluminum, for in—
tance. Aluminum now enters into th€ manu-
facture of many important articles which the
farmer buys, and nearly every housewife ap-
preciates the utility of aluminum ware. But
what every housewife doesn’t know 1s that
every ounce of aluminum produced in .the
United States is made by a single corporation,
and that through its subsidiaries it produces
over 90 per cent of all aluminum utensils. That
corporation is the Aluminum Company of
America, and is principally owned and domi-
nated by Mr. Mellon, secretary of the treasury
of the United States.

The Aluminum 00., we are told, started in-

1888 with a paid in capital variously estimated
as from $100,000 to $200,000. Besides paylng
dividends, it had accumulated up to July 31st,
1921, a capital stock of $18,729,600, and a sur-
plus of $92,153,861, giving a net worth of
$110,883,461. These earnings have been made
under the protecting arm of a generous tariff
law. Not content with having done so much
for the Aluminum Company, the Senate has
voted to continue the duty of 5 cents on 1ngots,
to make the duty of 9 cents on sheets and. 01r-
cles, and to increase the duty on aluminum
wares from the present rate of about 20 per
cent, under which importations are virtually
prohibited, to 82 per cent! Generous Uncle
Sam! Bless his dear kind heart! And mind
you, this is but one instance 13-15 of many. .

L The'question naturally arises, “what bene-
fit is a taritf to the farmer or anyone else on

buy are increased proportionately?”

earth and we would not beaware of their go-

have the privilege of knowing one song from
another, and sense the disappearance of» a
popular songster. . p ‘

We know the bobolink by sight and have

.. felt the thrill of its song. We hold it to be»

one of the finest singers of the feathered tribe.
It would be a shame if in the protection of
their crops, the rice-farmers have found it
necemary to slaughter these birds in such
numbers as to threaten their utter extinction.

The annual slaughter of birds is something
tranendmis, and something ought to be done
to stop'it. It will be a sorry day for
the farmer when the ranks of his feath-
ered friends are so depleted that they can no
longer stand guard over the fields and protect
them from insects. But that day bids fair to
come. On every main highway in the United
States thousands of b' are killed daily by“
speeding automobiles. Many of these birds
are sparrows, but in a single day’s trip we
have counted among the little victims crushed
out upon . the pavements swallows, canaries,
blue—birds, robins and even the saucy wood—
pecker. We have counted them into the scores,
and then we have sickened of the, diversion
and turned our attention elsewhere, Since the
“day I ran over a young robin in a village street
and saw the poor thing flutter till he was dead,
I have had a horror of killing the innocent
little things and either toot the horn or slack
up when I see them in the road ahead.

Spare the birds! We cannot afford to lose
them. ' . '

 

Cutting Acreage

THE Empire State Growers’ Clo-operative
Ass’n, Inc, congratulates itself that its
campaign to reduce potato and cabbage acreage
in New York has met with success. It discovers
that the farmers of the United States as a
whole have increased their acreage of potatoes
10.8 per cent over last year and the acreage of
cabbage something over 20 per, cent. The
farmers of. New York, however, presumably as
result of the campaign alluded to, increased

the acreage of the two crops only 4 and‘17 per .

cent rmpectively. .
Commendable as was the effort of this potato
association the result can hardly be one to re-
joice over. New York’s potato crop isgnothing
but a kettleful of the entire crop. No ordinary
decrease or increase in her acreage or produc-
tion could have any noticeable effect upon the
market price of potatoes. So long as the pros-

pects are for a total crop in excess of 400,000,- '

000 bushels it matters not whether New York
gI‘OWS 25,000,000 bushels or 35,000,000, and
the same applies to any other state. An ac-
tually harvested crop of 428,000,000 bushels
will mean low potato prices, and a few million

_ odd bushels either way won’t out much figure.

So not only will the New York farmers fail

ence. While the great furniture and astoniobile' - ,

once stood in virgin garb at their very thra-
hold.

But a remnant of the primeval forestsxire-

timber line pushed farther and farther back
until a day Will dawn soon when the only
standing timber will be the small woodloin of
the farmers. The state is fully aware of this
situation but'is doing nothing to stay the hand
of the lumberman, and very little to rcforest

the vast areas already. depleted. Michigan-

should take a lesson from Germany and begin
to formulate a real reforestation policy which

will conserve what little timber we have left

An All-Fired High Rate!

MB. GEO. A. FENKELL, superintendent

of the Board of Water mmissioners of

‘Detroit had 6 1-2 tons of fertilizer shipped in

bags from Detroit to Almont, adistance of 45

miles. His. freight bill was $41.28, or a little.

over $6.30 per tom Mr. Fenkell wrote the

’ Michigan Railroad Commission that he thought

this was an “all-fired” high rate.

We don’t suppose anyone excepting the rail-
way company will take "issue with Mr. Fen-
Or Will some of those Michi-
gan senators and congressmen who voted for

the Esch-Cummins law attempt to prove that 1
to save the railroad ‘

such a rate is necessary
companies from mini . , -

The instance related above is typical, of
courSe, of the way freight charges have in-

creased the country over. The costly 'etperi— _

ence of the government in operating the roads
under the hardest conditions of years shrinks
into insignificance, compared with the burden
which the Each-Cummins law has foisted "upon
the people. And the worst part of the situa-

tion is that none of our law—makers who sup- - , "

lorted the Esch-Cummins law give the over-n
taxed patrons of the roadsany promise of. re-
lief. ‘ '

Keep away from a chimney or op-
e’n fireplace, the vertical layer of soot
in the chimney is a good conductor.
If a fire is burning there is an ex-
tra element, of danger in the smoke
and hot gases arising from the chim-
ney; Railroad men. testify ‘that they
have seen a lightning flash descend
the smoke from a locomotive but as
soon as it struck the steel of the 19~
comotive. it went to the rails and
was grounded. ‘ ‘

Lightning rods should be well
grounded, running them into a well
of water is an excellent method of
installation. If not well grounded
they become a‘menace rather than a
protection.

There is an ancient belief that
lightning never strikes in the same
place twice, in the case of a house
or barn it is often true because the
place is not there the second time.

Once as a child I saw. a wonderful
vision in a flash of lightning. It was
not of the earth earthy. It has al-
ways remained with me and the only
fear the wonderful display ever
gives me is that it will strike some
good farmer’s barn, well filled with
the result of a season’s hard work.

Perhaps insurance is the best
.protection of all against that cala-
mity. ‘ '

have used it and thereby reduced
four pounds a week, feeling perfect-

It is necessary to have a phono-

come for this purpose, in other m
words, the directions are given on
the records. It is really great fun
and a number of ladies may take it
up at one time, thereby dividing the
expense.

OUR BOYS ANI} GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned—I was just thinking
of writing you‘when the M. B. F. came
containing the picture of the old lady
and the two boys. ’ .

I spent part of last summer on a short
trip thru Kentucky. Sometimes we slept
beside the road and sometimes at a hotel.
One night after we had driven late we

smade our bed beside a road very near

the fence. We were just dozing off to
sleep when the fence began to creak and
something laid down on the other side.
I have slept with cats but the next morn-
ing I found I had slept with a mule.

When we arrived at Cave City boys
and men came running from all sides to
advertise the three different caves that
are near there. We went to Mamoth Cave,
it was certainly great.

We had weenie roasts most? every meal
and had beautiful places to have them ,
on large flat rocks: You could find little
caves with springsrunning out of a cre-
vice all along the road. We never could
resist the temptation of stopping for a
cool drink,

On our way home we went to Lincoln’s
birthplace. ’Most people expect to see an
old log cabin standing in some little-val-
ley. But instead one comes into a. well-
kept yard where the keeper lives.- Then
you drive back a quarter of a mile when
you will come to a hill, with wide cement
steps leading up to a large. beautiful
building of sandstone which looked like
marble with tall columns all the way
around it. The lawns about it were »
beautifully terraced. Inside one finds the
little cabin in which Lincoln was born.
The walls of the building were made of
bronze tablets with raised letters telling
the story of Lincoln’s life and work. A
card flle stood in one corner where all
the names of all the people who gave
money toward this building. I could
write two or three pages about the
grounds, walks and the little cave there,

ut I am afraid you’ll think me a sponge
now for soaking up so much room.

When I last wrote two girls wrote me
very interesting letters but I have lost
their address: One was from Stockcome,
Stockford or some sort of Stock. It might

Ahave been bank stock for all I can re-

member I would very much like to have

them as well as any others write me.—La

Vendee Adolph, Union City; Mich. Age 14.
Indian Bulbs and Jars

A large colonial house stood on a little
raise of ground. All about it were the
huts of the Negro servants. A magni-
ficent hall opened to the beautiful grounds
in front and in back it opened to a vine
covered veranda. ’ .

There drove up the circular drive
an old stage coach, that stopped in front
of the large hall and two prominent gen-
tlemen climbed out. As they ascended
the steps the elderly gentleman remark-ed,
"I want you to meet my little daughter
of whOm I am very fond. She's as dainty

and prim as you could wish and just the

type to enter society: very young and
will be a favorite. Altho I have not seen
her in many a year I can see just how
she is going to look, just as dainty and
just‘ as sweet only a little taller."

The servant. opened the door to the
long shining mahogany hall. From the
other end came a shrill boyish voice,
“Fitz. I reckon if , you don’t hurry we
won’t get another look at my garden be-
fore my dad arrives. Wait! I’ll get the
jugs first." , ' , ,

The old gentleman sat down hard on
one of the costlyhchairs. his mouth wide
open. Before-him stood a tall, tanned-
faced, short-haired 'girl with two gaudy
p Her face

"Why! er—I—Iello, Dad, ,er. I mean I’m

ed for letting his modest little daughter

abroad. .

‘v He went up stairs and down the long
corridor to the last door and knocked
loudly on the door. .

“Stop drumming on my door i.’ .came
the reply. .

He opened it with a jerk and scowled.

“What is the meaning of this?" he
demanded. “I bring home a distinguished
guest to be greeted by a fourteen-year-old
tomboy gypsy. What do you mean by
your garden. are there not enough ser-
vants?” .

" as Sir! When I was north I played

' with an Indian princessand when I left
her father-gave me some precious bulbs.
I am getting a place to plant them. He
also gave me these beautiful jugs. There

. they are, the bulbs are in- them sir."
She spoke with a mild unconcerned man-
ner. This made him all the more dis-

 
 

an uncaredfor part of the lawn among
the bush and weeds. There they lay
cracked and broken.

“Now where’s that dog? He was drip-
ping wet?"

"Yes sir. he fell in the rain barrel, he's
wrapped up in my blanket on the bed
now—and you shall not touch him, sir.”

“I shan’t. eh? Well such a saucy little
vagabond as you had better take yOur
pup and go back north. The coach will
. I will send up

Mandy to help you pack. I’ve had enough
of your impudence!” .

But this all happened many years ago
and now our 'Evilina. our heroine, is old
and gray. With the help of her grand-
daughter Shirley and her two grandsons.
Bob and Jack. she is packing to visit
her old home.

The day before they started Shirley
had donned her- coveralls and went back,
of the house where a very attractive.
garden was growing; not one cared for
by stupid Negro servants, but by Shirley
herself. A garden filled with quaint seats
and arbors. the work of the boys who
were members of the local handicraft
club. All were much interested in garden,
needlecraft, handicraft and pig clubs.

Now you can see the diflerence between
Eviline’s girlhood and Shirley's. For
Evilina it had been a disgrace to want a.
garden. She was so glad that her grand-
children were not handicapped in the leas
by stupid customs but helped by parents
and government. . .

They arrived at her old home in the
early afternoon and the children were
so anxious to explore that before night

=the place had been tramped from one
end‘ to the other. The boys came up
and sat on the porch with their grand-
mother a. long time before Shirley an-
peared. But soon she appeared coming
through the bushiest uncaredfor edge of
the lawn carrying her red sleeveless jack-
et over her am.‘ She waved it over her
head as she saw them and started to
run .but .stubbed her toe and fell flat.

“Good night. what is that?” she re-
marked, picking herself,up and limping
toward the house. She had a long tear
in her knickers and a gash in her leg.

"Come on into the house and let me
wrap it up.” said her grandmother, and
Shirley went limping in. .

Then Jack said, ”Let’s go out and see
what it was that tripped Shirley. It must
have been something sharp."

A few minutes later the boys came
running toward the house calling.~ "Oh,
grandmother, come quick! See what we
found !”

As Evilina, appeared at the door she
saw in Jack's hand one of the old cracked
Indian jars filled with what remained
of the others. Evilina asked to be taken
to the spot and there in the weeds and
brush many strange buds were beginning
to blossom.

What They Found

Louis and William were two boys who
had never lived in .the country except
at short intervals during vacation when
they had gone to visit their aunt who
lived on a farm.

They enjoyed these visits very much
and were always willing to help 'with
whatever work they might.

One time they went there to visit dur-
ing hay harvest and when the hay was
ready to bunch their uncle said they
might hehli

en t ey were in one corner of the

field they heard a noise which sounded

like little chickens in the grass but on

a closer investigation found it was a

nest of eggs and that three of the eggs '
were peeked so they decided to .wait and-
look at them after their day’s work 'was

done and maybe they would have come

out of the shells by that time.

After they had had their supper and
it was time to feed the chickens they
remembered the eggs and went to look
at them and to their surprise they were
not chickens butdsomething resembling
them. So William took his hat and put
them in it and carried them’ to the house
to show their aunt what they had found.

them for finding» them.-——Evel ‘ '

- _ n put: over his land-clearing

= : year, turned to “Elizabeth," the

and, finish up the. 60,000 acres which
‘Lar‘ry’ ‘ has, predicted.” ' v ,

, The occasion for the above marked
the” close or the campaign, waged by‘

- Larry Livingston, land-clearing ex-
, pert, at the Michigan Agricultural
, College; A. J. McAdams, dynamite
‘ “shar ," and other skilled workers,

throughout the. upper peninsula of,’

Jdichigan this year. It was a war
on stumps—a bravely fought, ener-
getic battle which has won for Clov-
erla'nd eighty-six acres actually
cleared through their effort, approxi-
mately 2.7.00 “posted”. farmers and
p a host of'iand-clearing enthusiasts
‘.who are pledged to “carry on" for
the future. It Was, the opening shot
to‘reclaimr tor the upper peninsula
of Michigan, some 5,000,000 or more
acres of‘cut-over agricultural land——
areas adequatelyadapted, by reason
of the structure of their, soils—tor
diversified agriculture. .
, _F'or eight week‘s—from 'May 1 to
June 28+“Larry” Livingston. and
his crew of stump dentists blasted
their way about the peninsula, con-
ducting thirty-eight schools of in-
struction,jior 2,700 farmers in Clov-
erland, this being the number who
will receive certificates for having
actually participated in the work
and who showed, through their use
of the various implements, an inti-
V mate knowledge of the modern, .up-
to-date methods of land-clearing, as
taught by Larry’s short course.

Although only‘those farmers who

' actually participated
and who qualified, were given the,
certificates.‘ approximately 10,000
people witnessed the" work or the
land clearing schools during the
eight weeks of instruction. The
train itself, consisting of nine cars,
was a teature obunusual interest,
for it comprised a complete land-
clearing Outfit from A to Z. And by
that we' mean that the train boasted
every modern convenience—from a
power-generating and lighting sys-

, tern to a radio outfit.

Unfavorable weather, unless it
prohibited the efficient use. at the
tractors, ‘stump pullers, pilers and
other equipment, was no obstacle.

j Rain~‘or~ shine, crowd or no crowd
(but there has always» a' owd)
meant nothing to Cloverland’s '

clearing crew. They were on the

. job, eyery working day in the week,
and not once did they slip up on
their schedule 01 thirty. eight schools.

It was a proposition or “learn by
doing” and every farmer who at-
tended the various schools was giv-
en the opportunity, and urged to ac-
cept it, of taking a hand in the work.

Practically every known obstacle
was met and overcome, as far as the
condition 01 the land is concerned.
Stumps of every known else and,
variety, from the greatdwhite-pine,

‘ deep rooted fellows to. the small
green grubs in the sandy areas, were
numbered among the 6,000 or more,
which paid the toll tor the season’s

_ work. On plain and hill-side, in dry
. and ma‘rshy areas, they worked, and,
in , fact, as concerns the land-clear-

ing on any type of. cut-over land,‘
there is no cause, now, to say: “it
can’t be done." ' *~

curity 80 percent of its value.

“This sounds very well, but the
emphasis should be on the tactvélfiat
at’

you are now only ‘in line.’
.the' investor would now consider,

and what he should consider before
'he started is what are his chances
in the line for that loan and by what

means is he to get the money at 4
per cent? He fails. to realize that he

has put money into the hands of peo-

ple who have not put up a dollar as
security for him, but have taken
from him at the start his first four
~monthly payments as their own com-
pensation for expenses and ‘thought’
‘ for his interest. They also, if he con-
tinues for ten years to pay, take
substantially twice as much more
over the ten years period. So that
in effect he' has paid for every
thousand dollars he hopes to rea~
lize at least $88 for guardianship
and ‘thought’ and he gets back over
a ten year period $100 in interest.
“He could» have done-much better
at any savings bank and. had secur-
ity with the bank's capital and his
money always on call. What, there-
fore, is the incentive for him to
‘house’ his money with this housing
speculation? It is the alluring pro-
mise that after three years he is ‘in
line’ to borrow his total thousand—

the sum he has. really promised and-
guaranteed to himself with hlsown,

money and no other money. How,
then. can the'housing trust make
good its unsecured promise? This
is the crux of the whole matter, and
should bring rthe thoughtful investor,
or any 01' his banking advisers, to
the clear understanding of the fact
that he has not made an investmen‘,
but a speculation or a gamble, based
upon the chances of misfortune to
his’tellow investors who will fall by
the way and forfeit into the pool so
as to help redeem his hopes.
“Promoters of these enterprises
figure on tables of human frailties
and broken promises that two out

way. It is this rotten system or
gambling on human irailties that

When the cap and fuse method is used the blaster must
remember that the fuse burns at the rate of 32 to 40 seconds
per foot, and must allow ample length of fuse‘ to enable him
to retire to a safe point before the explosion. Six Inches of .
fuse out of the bore hole should be sufiident.

When blasting very large stumps, where it is necessary to
fire several charges simultaneously under the anchor roots,
electric blasting caps and an electric blasting machine must
be used. The electric method can also be used,.,of course,
to fire a single charge. ,

THE AUTO-OILED AERM

A Real Self-oiling Windmill

Oil an Aermotor once a year and it is always
oiled. Every moving part is completely and fully ’ , .
oiled. A constant stream’of oil flows on every “ .1
hearing. The shafts run in oil. The double gears run in
oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. Friction and wear
are practically eliminated. ' ‘ '

. Any windmill which does not have the gears running in oil is only
half oiled. A modern windmill, like a modern automobile. must have
it: gem enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly. .,
Dry bearings and dry gears cause friction and loss of power. The Aermotor
pumps in the lightest breeze because it is correctly designed and Well
oiled.‘ To set everlasting windmill satisfaction, buy the Aermotor.

H11} increased in‘terest’ in cow-
testing Work is attested by the

‘ fact that during the month of
June two new counties, Eaton and
Calhoun, took up the work and three

other counties, Shiawassee, Kalkae-

ha and Ogemaw made preparations
for organizing associations. Associa-
tions in Cass and Washtenaw coun-
ties are in process of organization
and will be ready to report Within
another fewweeks. .. _ '

Macomb county has also orga-
nized, through the efforts of County
Agent Murphy, with 390 cows, mak-
ing it the largest association in the
state. The cow tester began work
in this Association ’on August let.

The 3410 cows reported for June
averaged 726. 7 rpounds milk and
28. 99 pounds butteriat or 24.2
pounds and .96 pounds buttertat
daily.‘ These/ amounts _ are 112 .
pounds milk and 3. 61 pounds but-
terfat less per cow per month than
the amount produced in May.

“The natural lessening and drying.
off of pastures influences milk pro-
says A C. Baltze‘r,
M. A. C. Extension Specialist in
Dairying. “The cow that is producing
quite heavily and efliciently, simply
cannot eat enough pasture no mat-
ter how abundant, to meet the re-
quirements for milk production. As
the summer season advances this in-
fluence Will become more noticeable.
It is good dairy practice to use small
amounts'of grain and also silage to
supplement pasture. Feed 1 pound
of grain mixture composed of 400
pounds corn meal or ground barley,
200 pounds ground cats or bran
and 100 pounds cottonseed meal for
each 4 pounds milk produced.”

The Wayland Association "in Alle-
gan ,county leads the way in having
in use 100 per cent pure bred sires.
Allegan county has a distinctive
manner in leading the way agricul-

port 100 per cent pure bred sires.

 

in Kent county has been Checking
up on the separators. fine he found

left 1. 5 per cent butterfat in the .
skim milk.

160 pounds of milk
were being separated daily through
this machine. Assuming 150 pounds
of skim milk resulted daily, 2. 25
pounds of butteriat
aWay from the farmer. At 35.cents
a pound .this would mean a loss of
78c dafly‘or $293.40 a. month.

It would not take many months
to pay for several years of Cow Test-
ing Association work on this basis.
Also an extremely high rate of inter-
est wes being paid out by this mem-
ber on an inefficient separator.

The eighteen active Cow Testing

Associations now operating in Michi— '

gan Constitute the largest group of

’ Cow Testing Associations ever active

during any year. The County Agri-
cultural Agents with members of the
Dairy Department of Michigan Agri-
cultural College have been instru-
mental in these organizations. A
substantial growth and demand for
this work is arising in many other
Michigan counties.

“It is not good practice to carry,

the persistent milker right up to her
next freshening period,” says Mr.
Baltzer. “Cows due to freshen in the
early fall will do better to not alone
be turned dry but given additional
feed while on pasture. We would
suggest equal parts by weight of
cornmeal, ground oats and bran be
mixed and feed 3- 6 pounds daily. It
pays big dividends in the next lactao
tion period.’

MILK WORTH 4c A QUART WITH
BUTTERFAT AT 40c

How much is a quart of whole sweet
milk worth when one pound of cream
butter fat is worth 35:: to 40c-?—~W. T.

.Chief. Mich

One quart of 4 per cent milk con-
tains .086 pounds fat. At 40c per
pound this WOuld have a value of
3. 44 cents per quart. Each quart
of whole milk would contain 1.87
pounds of skim milk. The value of
this skim milk would depend upon
the use to which it could be put for

 

feeding purposes on the farm. At

30 cents a hundred this amount of
skim milk would be worth .0056
cents. Adding this to the value of
the butter fat, it would give a value
of 4 cents for 4 per cent milk. If this

Mill'mm the description which you
xive or your hog, the trouble is un-
doubtedly due to an acute form of
indigestion which has resulted in a
paralysis. In such a case about all
all that can be done is to give the
sow” laxative foods and keep her
quiet. This trouble often occurs
with hogs that are heavily fed. There
is just 'a possibility that this trouble
might be due. to a nail having been
swallowed and lodged somewhere in
the throat. In either case, however,
the treatment would be the same.
When trouble is/due to an obstruc-
tion in the throat they very often
recover, whereas, with paralysis they
more often succomb' from the
trouble.——Geo. A. Brown, Professor
of Animal Husbandry, M. A.

DON’T JUST’HOUSE' KENS—GIVE
THEM. A HOME ,

A’ hen house is not always a hen
home. The former may be cold,
dark, and damp; the letter is always
light, clean, cheery and cemforteble.

The poultry house should be con-
venient. It should be close to the

A lpw house is? hard to work in; a
Heveplenty oflight in the house —-+

Leave oil or a part of the south side
open to keep the house dry and well-
ventilated. Allow no drafts. Keep the
house clean and free from vermin.

A good house does not necessarily ,
need to be an expensive house. 'A
creap house, built along the right
lines and kept clean, will serve’just
as well as an expensivehouse.

Don't just house hens——give them
a home. There is a great difference~
between a hen house and a hen. home.
A hen house may be cold, dark,
damp, or may harbor lice and mites.
A hen home is light, clean, cheery
and comfortable. Professor Rice of
Cornell says, “The singing hen is the
laying hen.” You will not have
“singing hens” unless you keep them
comfortable and happy.

There are many good types of
poultry houses. In this limited space,
all we can do is to give you a few
general, principles which you should
keep 'n inind in fixing over your
chicke coop or in building a new
one. . '.
HouSe Should .be Convenient——
This is especially for your benefit.
Don’t put the hen house too far'
away from the other buildings. Make
it of material which will be easy to
clean. Put as many of the labor-
saving devices in and about it as you
can alford. '

Labor is money. Anything which
helps‘to lessen the amount of labor
in caring for the flock will increase
your profit. Dropping boards, con-
venient nests, a place for' surplus
feed, a barrel close by for manure——
all of these will save time and make
it easier and, cheaper to care for
your poultry.

House Should be Comfortable '—-
This is'meant for both you and the
hens. If the house is so low that
you can’t work in it easily, it won’t
be cleaned as often as it should. But
to make it comfortable and warm
for the bone you must build it low.
The hen is a. great heat maker;
her temperature averages about 108
degrees. The animal heat thrown off
by a flock of 100 hens in a. house
reasonably low will keep the tem—
perature safe, even though ‘the ther-
mometer goes below zero. A poultry
house should never be more than
seven feet high in front and five feet
in the rear. - \

House Should be Light—Sunlight
is the best germ destroyer in the
world. The house should face the
south and should be constructed so
that as much sunshine as possible
may enter.

House Should be Dry—A dry
house is secured by having a good
dry floor and a good system of ven-
tilation. Build the house on a hill—
side or a well—drained place. Have
the floor higher than the surround-
ing ground.

Admit plenty of air so that the
house will keep‘ dry. A warmly—built
house with a. glass front gets‘hot in
the daytime and cools ofl quickly at
night. Such a. house is always
damp because moisture condenses
on the walls and there is no circu—
lation of air to dry it out. ‘ ‘

'This condition may be a phy-
suologicai or normal process until
the accumulation of fat occurs in
such quantities as to -interfere with
the function of the liver cells; The
liver is one of the so—called store-
houses of the body of fat. In it is
stored a surplus until needed by the
body for use (for combustion, or the
production of heat and energy).
pverfed hens, or those closely
housed and not forced to work, or
fed too heavily on starchy feeds,
store up much of the surplus nutri-
tion in the liver as well as in other
portions of the abdomen, especially
‘in the mesentry and in the abdomin-
al walls. In these cases, on autospy,
the liver will be found to beenlarg-
ed, brownish or grayish-brown in col-
or (Mottled), friable (easily torn,)
and when out thru appears "greasy"
much fat adhering 'to the knife
blade. In these cases rupture of the
liver often occurs when the he is

thrown or jumps along distance on '

hard ground or a. concrete floor. In,
the liver, in which fat is stored up
there is, after a while, an encroach-
ment upon the protoplasm to such
an extent that the cell's cannot prop-~
erly function, when death of the
bird may occur. In these cases
the liver enlarges to such an extent
as to cause death of the bird.—~Dr.
W. Austin Ewalt, Veterinary Editor.

 

CHICKENS INFESTED WITH
wonMs ‘ ,

I keep a few chickens and they are
wormy. Can you tell me What to do for
them? The worms are about 2 1—2 inches

.long. They resemble a. hog worm. The
intestines are full, still the chickens are
fat and lay every day.—)—Mrs. J L.. Mar-
shall, Mich. - '

this

You can eliminate pest
by giving 1 teaspoon of Oil. of Ameri-
can Worm Seed and one teaspoon of
turpentine to each 12 fowls. This
is most easily given in the form of a
moistened mash. Lime ’ should be

‘also‘given in the drinking water, at

the rate of one pound to 100 hens.
This treatment has been very suc-
cessful in eliminating trouble from
this cause. The feeding method has
nothing to dowith this infestation '
other than that the trouble is spread
by the foods picked up by fowchon-
taminated with the embryo 'which
later develop in the intestinal tract.

TURKEY HAS STRANGE AILNIENT

We bought a. turkey that did not act ‘

right soon after bringing him home. In
a. few days yellow spots appeared on
head and in the throat. One‘ eye SWelled
‘ until it was the size Of a walnut. My
husband killed him and now I find the
same thing among the hens. Can you
tell me the trouble and what to do for
it?—C. B M.. Laingsburg, Mich.
From the description given, it is
impossible to say to any degree of ac-
curacy what the cause of the trouble
.is. The possibilities are, however,
that the» condition is caused by -one
of two or three diseases.

"Bird Pox occasionally affects_tur-
keys in a manner described in the
inquiry. Roup may also affect tur-.
keys, but it is not very common.
More often the condition described
is the result of black head or what
is known as Entero.Hepatitis. Black
head is the disease affecting the liver
and intestinal tract. The first symp-
toms noticed are signs of diarrhea,
loss of appetite, and a. dull attitude.
In extreme cases, wartlike growths
may or may not appear on the head.
Upon opening a bird, pustular sacs
will be found on the surface of the

liver and on the lining of the intes- ‘

'tinal tract. The liver is usually en-
larged and pale in color.

There is no satisfactory cure or
treatment for turkeYs affected with
Black head- By breeding for con-
stitution, vigor and vitality and by

. keeping the birds out on free'range

away from the chickens, a great deal
Let the trouble with Black head can
be averted. , ' 4 . '

As it is necessaryvto have a labor-
atory examinatidn of the birds be-
fore knowing ‘positively the cause of
the trouble, it would be well to mail
one of the affected turkey heads to

cesses are active cannot be kept

the old queen and a large part of the

This will m'ake it impossible for
either hive to gain anything much
in surplus, unless the flow is very
good. This --‘is the reasonvwhy so
many farm colonies fail to produce
when "colandes .of regular profession-

plus. -‘ ' - . '

The first thing to do is.

be obstructed, and givé’ shade
keep the sun from heating the walls
of the hives. ,Now with plenty of
roomfor brood rearing and honey
' storage the tendency to swarm will
be held in check, though this will
not be effectual to the full extent. In
addition to these means we should
do artificial swarming if we would
~ get the maximum results. This con-
sists in removing the brood from the
hive and giving empty frames 'just

before the honey flow begins, and
‘when there are signs of the bees
preparing for swarming, such as

queen cells in the hives, bees cling-
ing in great masses outside the hive,
and the coming out of the . first
swarms of the year. By giving these
frames of brood to colonies, that are
not so strong these,will build up fast
and be able to do good work during
the harvest while they might have
failed to more than keep themselves
supplied if this were not done.— I
never remove all the frames of
brood but leave one or two that have
mainl;7 eggs in them, and I leave all
frames that have honey only in
them. After such artificial swarm-
ing there is not very much danger
of their-swarming, as they will be
busy in the honey storing before the
queen gets the brood chamber filled
with larva again, and the lack
demand for the honey for feeding
larva gives them_a good start in the
supers if, the flow is good. It is
best to shake all the bees from the
frames or they are taken out, before
giving to the new hives, for we, want
all the bees possible left to store
honey in the' old hive. Sometimes I
have taken the removed frames and
one frame bees and all with the
queen and started a new colony
and left one queen cell that is fully
capped in the old hive instead of the
queen,~and this will give the old
hive a young queen, and with such
there .is almost no danger at all of
their swarming, out no matter how
strong they get.

The one point that we want to
keep in mind above every other is
that the more bees we can get in one
hive the more surplus we will be
likely to get, for there will be more
bees to gather, and less demands ea
them for nurse bees. and-larve rear-
ing, and. keeping up the tempera-
ture in the hive. A hundred thous-
and bees in one hive will produce
much more surplus than will ,the
same number in two hives,
where the colonies swarm so much
that they divide up into weak colon-

ies they will’, hardly gather-enough-

honey to keep them over winter. I
don’t believe' in keeping a very weak
colony and trying to build it up, for
I figure the bees-will be better in
helping to build up' into extra
strength some other stronger‘hive.

few farm requirements

There is a right size for everything you use for profit or
convenience or pleasure on the farm.

In horses or motor cars, overweight means high first cost
and heavy operating expense. Lack of size and stamina,
’ on the other hand, brings risk of failure and discomfort.

Earl quality motor cars are built for everyday use in
the country—~although their low- sweeping lines and fine
proportions make them noticeable on any city boulevard.

Big enough to carry five full-grown passengers in sat-
. isfying comfort anywhere an automobile can be driven,

flexible, long-stroke motors develop pOWer enough to
handle any road condition. Yet on average highways, the
Earl is more economical than any other car of anything
like its size and riding qualities.

The over- all length of Earl touring cars is fourteen
feet, less one inch. Their handsome green bodies are swung
lower on longer and more resilient springs—56- inch rear
—than- in any other car of the Earl’s wheel base or price—

See the Earl before you buy your car. If there is no dealer
in your town, write to Jackson for an illustrated catalog
and the name of the nearest Earl distributor. At $1095,
the Earl is the outstanding motor car value of the year.

__ prospects of an early settle—
; ’ .ment of the railway and'coal
. , strikes has encouraged business
1 greatly, though the- curtailment
occasioned by the strikes has actual-
ly caused but little halt in the in-
dustrial processes. The strikes
have had the effect, however, of
causing great uneasiness in commer-
cial circles and halting plans for fut-
ure production. The fact that the
. country has weathered the strikes
~ so successfully up to the present time
is an indication, it seems to us, of
the general soundness of business
conditions, and gives promise of an-
other great industrial surgeas soon
as the strikes are-settled.

As commented upon before in this
column, business has enjoyed a re-
markably prosperous summer con-
sidering the curtailment in the farm-
er’s buying power. We expected the
improvement which came last spring,
but looked for another slump about
July‘lst. While business in general
is probably not quite so good just
—now as it was the first of July there
is nothing to worry about. The farm-
er will soon be back in the ring and
business will be greatly stimulated
. again by the purchases which will be
‘ fairly large, throughout the fall and

. winter.

Crops generally are good and in-
dicate a bountiful harvest. In some
instances, we are afraid, the harvest
will be so bountiful that the farmer
cannot possibly get cost of pro-
duction. With a forecast of one of
the'largest crops of potatoes, beans,
cabbage, apples and certain other
products, it is most essential that
business conditions be good and that
men are employed at good wages if
these crops are to be sold at a fair
price and without great losses to the
farmers.

 

  

 

WHEAT
The principal obstacle to higher
Wheat prices is the heavy marketing
of the new crop. The foreign demand
is fairly active. Last week alone
over 15,000,000 bushels were pur—

chased for foreign account. The
World wheat situation has not
changed from what has been de—

scribed in these” columns the last
few weeks, and it is certain that
prices would be stabilized around
the present level if there was not
so confounded much wheat in sight.
As it is, we can only look for lower
prices in the immediate future. But
further price declines will be slight
and slow in coming, and will prob-
ably be followed long before the
end of the year with material ad-
vances. At present prices wheat is
down below what all the factors in
the situation would warrant.

CORN

August 1—-The wheat market took
an up and down trend thepast
couple of weeks but corn paid no
attention, remaining steady and
gaining 1c at Detroit during that
period. Demand has not been very
good but receipts from the country
showed a falling of! thus keeping
the market from weakening. Ex-
porters are in the market but they
are not buying as readily now as
they have been. On the opening of

' OATS

We still fail to see little hope for
oats. Prices are near the lowest in,
several years and the new crop pro-
mise is depressing. Oats will probably
act in sympathy with other grains
as they have done so consistently
the past few years, but we see no
independent strength in sight, at
least for a number of months.

Our position on the ‘bean market
has not changed. The market .has
performed in about the manner we
said it would, demand slow, supplies
limited, prices lower. The bean
trade is doing a lot of guessing these
days as to what will happen the next
sixty days, but we expect to see the
market on the new crop open at very
much below the prevailing prices.

“Referring ‘to your communica-
tion of June 10, which covers differ-
ence in prices on rye and wheat be-
tween Detroit and Saginaw, your
quotation of June 1 was $1.06, which
must have been an error as the Chi-

Saginaw to New York is 340. The
proportional rate from Chicago to
New York was '300, which is 40 un-
der Saginaw’s rate. Your price quo-
tation of June 10 at Saginaw was

MARGARDVE IN DENMARK

A recent report of the assistant
trade commissioner of Denmark
shows that in that country the pro-
duction of margarine from animal
materials is fast decreasing while
that produced from vegetable mat-
ter is increasing.

The number of plants manufactur-

' ing margarine in 'that country has

increased nearly 50 per cent during
and since the war.» There used to
be an excess of imports but the last
two or three years have seen a very
small importation while the exporta-
tion of the product has increased
rapidly. ,
