FARMERS TO OWN FIRE FIGHT-
! IN G EQUIPMENT
IL recently when there was a
fire in the rural district about
Owosso the farmers we
phone the fire department of that
city and the fire fighting apparatus
would be rushed out to- extinguish
the blaze but nowfthe<city fathus
say this can be done no more. They
say they pay e and the
farmers nothing and what would be-
come of their property if a fire should
break out in town while the trucks
were out in the country. This has
caused an agitation among the farm-
ers for the purchase by township,

attire trucks. equipped with chemi-

cal tanks and small pumps. Efforts
are being made by prominent farm
leaders to have placed on the ballots
at the spring election in the town-
ships, proposals to raise by tax the
funds with which to buy three trucks.

Vernon township of this county
has had a fire truck of its own for
several months. Continued objec-
tion on the part of Durand people
to the sending of the Durand truck
into the country, and a final threat
of injunction proceedings, caused the
Vernon township voters to author-

WHICH KIND OF FAIR DO YOU PREFER?

NNUALLY about 100,000 Michigan business farmers and their
wives attend the state and county fairs. Why do they go? Is
itto see the efliibits, the horse rares, the aeroplanes, the midway,

—or just the crowd? The bigger fairs still have the midway- The
smaller fairs have tried to eliminate them because of the cheap and
often fraudulent character of the attractions.
Michigan State Fair has been under fire for several years, yet at the
last fair, it was patronized by many thousands of people.
\Vould‘they still attend their state and county
/ fair if the midway was done away with?
tells about a county fair in the upper peninsula which boasted of
neither midway, carnival show, horse races nor aeroplanes, yet people
attended in large numbers and were satisfied with what they saw.
Mr. Tucker suggests in his article-7you have probably seen both types

In fact it seemed that everyone
in the community—from the young-
est school child to the oldest indi-
vidual in the county—was in some
way represented in that display. It
was, indeed, a real, old-time county
fair, and I doubt if any, county in
the peninsula this fall could boast
of an agricultural display which
could equal that shown at the On-
tonagon fair.

Two days were devoted'to Onton-
agon's fair.
the com—
munity visited the display, and it
was not diflicult too observe that the
majority, and they carefully examin—
ed the various specimens, were reap-
ing the maximumof benefit from
the things they saw. They came,
not to be amused or entertained,
entirely, ,but to learn what their
neighbors were doing and how they
were doing it.

Other communities could profit
by adopting Ontona'gon’s example.
They had a. real, honest-to—gosh fair
over there.

 

M. A. C. ANNOUNCES ATTRACT-
IVE WINTER. COURSES
HE Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege has announced its. regular
winter short courses .to begin
this year on October 30th. The ad—
vantages of these courses to those
who cannot take ’the full four year
course are many, and it is surpris-
ing the amount of practical instruc-
tion which students receive during
the two, four, eight, twelve, or six-
teen weeks, depending upon the
course selected.

One of the advantages which will
appeal to many farm parents this
year is that of economy. The full
four-year course involves the ex
penditure of several hundred dol—
lars,.while the eight weeks’ course
can be secured at a total expense
of from $80 to $100. Many farm
boy’s who have. planned on taking up
the regular courses at the M. A- C.
this year have been disappointed be-
cause of‘ the low farming returns.
To such the short courses afford an
excellent opportunity for adding
materially to their fund of know—
ledge and giving them the contact
with college life and college people
which is so helpful in broadening the
viewpoint. y

The fall term which begins 0cob‘er

'30th‘consists of the following re-

quired subjects: Animal feeding,
types of livestock, farm crops A,
farm engineering, agricultural chem-
istry, gymnasium. The winter term
beginning January 2nd, includes
such subjects as: ‘Soils A, study of

‘ breeds,.drainage,_ gymnasium. Elec-
tive imbjects are; x
and testing, parliment'a‘ry law and

farm management, farm

use“ .7. in:
A .85;

During the time prac- '

Farm dairying ,

barn and herd man- ..

   

agement, potato production, hort-
iculture A, shop work, swine breed-
ing and management, bee-keeping.

Special courses are given in dairy-
ing, dairy manufactures, marketing
milk, ice cream making, horticul-
ture, poultry, truck and tractor man-
ufacture and operation.

All students completing the first

,year in the 16 weeks’ course are "

required toelect one of 15 different
projects which can be carried out
during the summer following.
These projects include almost every
activity on the average farm.

In discussng the short courses,
president Friday of the M. A. 0.,
recently said: =

“There are twenty thousand farm-
ers in Michigan who should take
these short courses during the next
five years. There is one vital dif-
ference between a large—scale indus-
try like manufacture and agricul-
ture which is still carried on in es-
tablishments owned by a single man
and employing on the average only
one additional worker. Manufac-
turing in Michigan is conducted by
8.300 establishments, employing
550,000 people. The average man-
ager in this industry supervises al-
most seventy men.

“The volume of output is great
enough in most of these establish—
ments to enable the owner to em-
ploy the services of skilled engin—
eers, chemists, accountants and
salesmen. These professional men
sclve the difficult problems which
present themselves for the manufac—
turer.

“The agriculture of Michigan is
carried on by 196,000 farms. On

'the‘ average there are two wogkers

to the farm and one of these is the
farmer himself. It is manifest that
each of these farmers must decide
what he will produce, what methods
of production will be followed and
how his product shall be marketed.
Clearly, in an establishment the size
of the average farm it is not econom—
ical to hire theaervice of a technical
expert who shouldanalyze and criti-
cize the methods employed, and Who
shall devise new. and improved meth-
ods for the conduct of the business.
The farmer therefore needs an all-
round training in the technical prob-
lems relating to his business; for he
must solve most of these problems
himself when they arise. This is one
of the reasons why every wide—awake
young farmer ,should come to the
Agriculture College. for training in
the Short Course. Unless he alc-
quires this technical skill for him-
self his farm will lose a. large por-

tion of the benefit which would re—‘

suit from the utilization of the
scientific knowledge concerning ag-
riculture. ‘ , ‘

, There is another reason why the
progressive youn farmer should
spend at least one winterat the Ag—'

; riculture . College. ‘  ‘jare many

 

 

       
   

   

 

problems of agriculture which are *
‘so difiicult for anyone but a profes- .
sional expert to handle. The Agri-
cultural College employs such a
corps of experts constantly. Those

 
  
   

who are aware of their existence can
avail themselves of this special train-
ing when it is needed on any partic- 
ular farm. The man who has taken 

       

a short course at the Agricultural ' 2
College knows exactly what help he - f.
may obtain from the institution
when he has need for it. It is the
function of the Michigan Agricult-
al College to furnish to its 196,000
farmers just that skilled training
which the large manufacturing es-
_ tablishments buys for itself on a
commercial basis.”

r. E. B. Hill assistant to Dean
Shaw, is director of the short courses
and Mr. A. M. Berridgs, former mem-
ber of the State Farm Bureau Board
and a successful farmer in Montcalm
county, is associate director. Com-
plete information on the courses can
be obtained by addressing Mr. Hill,
care of the College at East Lansing.

PROVES VALUE OF PURE-BRED

BIKES IN GRADE HERBS

HE LEER Guernsey Breeders

Association of Alpena County,

promoted by the American
Guernsey Cattle Club are exhibiting
at the National Dairy Show held at
St. Paul, Minn, ’October 7-14th.
V In the short period of time this
Association has made remafikabye
strides in the work of improvement
if dairy cattle by the use of Pure-
bre‘d Guernsey sires. One of the out-
.standing features are that prior to
the year 1909 little or no effort had
been made to improve the livestock
in Leer Community. As a common
practice sires were selected from
their own herds and by that process ,
of inbreeding of scrub cattle the
herds were constantly degenerating,
producing as a result a very inferior
type of scrub cattle.

Finally on May 22nd, 1909, as a
result of the untireing efforts of Mr-
W. T. Raven, Dairy Extension Spec-
ialast, M. A. C., the Leer Guernsey
Breeders Ass’n was organized with
tWenty charter members who sub- .
scribed a total of 130 scrub cows.

A sufficient sum was raiscd to pur-
chase three registered pure—bred
Guernsey sires. Each of the three
sires were placed at the head of herds ;
giving a total of not less than forty
cows for each group. A breeding fee
of $1.00 per head was charged by the
association. The funds obtained in
that manner were used to defray the

,expenses of maintaining the.sires
and to assist in replacing sires as it
became necessary to do so. To date
the association is gratified of the fact
that, small sum so obtained has been
found to be sufficient to meet the
needs.

The herds of the association mem-
bers being. divided up into groups,
each sire is used two years in each
group. When the circuit of the 5
group has been made by each sire 
he is then replaced by another reg-is- ‘
tered pure-bred sire. During the
life of the Association to date eleven
different sires have been used.
Furthermore, each time a new sire
was secured for the association only
the best obtainable would do-

The good effects of that practice
is clearly shown by the desirable 7:—
conflrmation of the offsprings and ‘ ~ 
‘the attractive prices that have been ' 
received for the surplus stock which 
were sold. As a matter of; fact the
temptation to sell has been so-great
-—as to threaten the financial af—
fairs of the association, because of
the reduced number of cows in the
present association.

Moreover, as another influential
factor, each year the asociation has
an assembly of their Guernseys, this
occasion is knoWn as the Leer Guern-

Dr. C. L. Wendt. originator of the mod-
ern farm partnership agreement.

' EVERAL years ago an account
was published of what was
then. called “A Partnership

Lease” that had been originated and

worked out by .Dr. C.‘ L. Wendt.

The idea has grown since that time,

and now promises to revolutionize

the vexatious «problem of land ten—
antry in this country where nearly
half ,of the farming land is now
operated by renters. ;Many of these
move every year, and on the aVerage

all of them move every two and a

half years according to statistics of

‘the Census Bureau.

"This fifty—fifty idea is so vital» to
the welfare ()f the'entire Nation, that
the writer recently took a little
journcy to the home of Dr. VVendt at
Canton, S. D., and spent-some time
with him going over his latest ex—
periences and (plans, and visiting
two of his farms and incidentally
seeing a lot of the fine farming
country in Lincoln county. We feel
that this unodern and wholly Ameri—
can plan of farm partnership is so
valuable, that we call special atten-
tion to the general scope and details
of the plan as worked out-by Dr.
VVendt in his own experience.

And first, let us state that the
Wendt farming agreement is not a
lease but; a business partnership.
The landlord and tenant system has
not changed in a thousandlyears,
and this ancient “Master and. Ser—
vant” relation does not adapt itSmf
to American ideals. A “landlord”
is a lord of the land, and We do not
have any such in our country. “Ten-
ant” means a temporary occupant
and we all know what happens, to
a rolling stone. As the fifty-fifty
plan is based on the idea of perma~
hence, the words “landlord” and
“tenant” are considered out of date,
and we think our readers will agree
that “landowner” and “landworker”
more accurately define the relations
between farm partners, and that
these terms have a more truly Am—
erican ring.

All great movements and worth—
while ideas require a good deal of
time in which to ripen or .prove
themselves. Dr. \Vendt began to
think about better ways of farm
tenantry a score of years ago. About
fourteen ‘years ago he put his part—
nership plan into effect by entering
into an agreement with a young man
in' his employ—Frank Painter. by
name. That original agreement
stands today on the same footing
and promises to remain indefinitely.
Young Painter has prospered in the
meantime—and is not this fact‘ an
eloquent variant on the usual ex-
perience of renters? He .has now
,bought a fine farm of his own-but
does he live on his oWn farm? No,
he prefers to retain his business
. connection with Dr. Wendt, for he
has learned precisely what this
means to him in cold .dollars and
cents. But he does manage his own
farm on the fifty-fifty plan with an—
other .man who is also getting along
in the world, and who doubtless will
invest his accumulated earnings in
South Dakota land that he .will
operate as owner While still another
ambitious man takes the part of
land worker. 4 .

But the idea does not await such
slow methods of, spreading. In Line

time of our visit, but there are prob-
ably more than a score 'of farms now

being operated on the identical con-

tract that D,r.' Wendi; has developed
with so much..lthought and fore-
sight. You can almost pick out
these places in driving about the
country in Lincoln county, for they
are usually a little more prosperous
looking; just a little neater as to
farlmsteads; just a bit pleasanter and
more home-like in the character of
the improvements .

One land worker made a net profit
of «$21,000 in seven years on the
partnership plan, and then bought
and mOVed to a farm of his own.
That would seem to be about 1-00
per cent ideal from the standpoint
of most fanmers. But it is interest-

ing to note‘ that this man would now \

As a matter of history—covering

ent inconsistency in human nature,
but we suggest that the basis of ,it
is the old adage, “Two heads are
better than one.”

The curse of «peasantry as it is
known in Europe can not be over—
emphasized. For many years it has
hung over our own freeland with
its republican form of government,
and its absence of titles, landed
gentry and theliike. Many thought—
ful students of history and political
economy have foreseen the trendof
the times—the rapidly advancing
prices of lands; the drift to the
cities; the increasing number of
farms operated by renters who cared
only to .make a living; and the
growing army of absentee farm own—
ers awaiting buyers at fancy prices.
Much time and thought has been
put into the devising of better forms
of leases——especially leases for long
periods—as one solution of the
growing tenantry evil of this
country.

But we think it can be laid down
as a law of human nature and econo—
mics that all leases are bad and
some are worse. To illustrate this
point, we ask any reader whether
:f'fter signing up a lease———either as
“landlord” or ‘_‘tenant”—-he got up
from the table feeling the same”
towards the party of the other part?
\Ve never have found a man yet
whrfhas not admitted that he didn’t
feel quite the same; most of them
say that each party was trying to
get just a little advantage over his
opponent.

And that’s exactly what we mean
when we say that all leases are bad.
They nearly always bring men tow
gether on terms of mutual hostility.
The owner trys to make the tenant
pay another half dollar an acre,
while the tenant tries also to drive
a sharp bargain and to induce the
land owner to throw in something
over and above the customery usage.
The product of the old landlord and
tenant system is a feeling of an-
tagonism. There is no deep under-
lying sentiment of friendliness—and
Dr. Wendi: states that the element
of friendship .is the very heart of
his form of agreement. Unless men
are genuinely friends—trusting. each
other and co-operating in harmony
——neither of them can Iprosper no
matter how .much legal talent they
employ in writing the'lease.

The Wen‘dt system is a business
partnership between two men, each
of whom putsinto thelventure the

these are the levers whereby profit is
.pried loose from soils that other-
wise might not pay the taxes.

One of the important features of
the partnership plan is that accu-
rate books must be kept in which
to record operation-sfpurchases,

Perhaps ‘ the most serious fault , l'
with theyrenteré'system is that-ital
makes no provision for keeping up“
the soil’s productive .power;
renter has no inducements to enrich

the land belonging to another, for 

he may move .next year; the owner
expects to sell on a rising market—-
he should worry about soil fertility!
The result is that all over this broad
domain of ours the soil is steadily ‘
growing less productive; acre .yields

tion continues to grow; fanminghs
still a process of soil exploitation
and will continue so until land.
values are measured by productive
capacity, and farms are made to pay
legitimate dividends on Capital and

With this serious problem staring  ‘i

the American «people in the face;
with lands constantly rising in pricef
and with more farms operated every
year by shifting renters, it is high
time that farmers adopted a plan
that will build up the integrity Of,’
our soils and put agriculture on its
feet. A study of the partnership-
plan will show that it is ‘destined to "
accomplish the desired end, and' we
urge the co-operation of all earnest
people to spread the doctrine of
mutuality in farm tenures. *

He returns to the girl and asks her to be his guest at supper in his cabin.

She accepts.

“3.71538,” said Aldous, deliberately.

“You are that Joanne. But you

her. Joanne of ‘Fair Play' was splen-
did without a soul. You have what
she lacked. You may not understand,
but you have come*to perfect what
I onlypartly created.”

The colour had slowly ebbed from
Joanne's face. There was a myster-
ious darkness in her eyes. a

“If you were, not John Aldorfs I
would strike you,“ she said. “As it
is——yes——I want you as a friend.”

She heild out her hand. For a
'moment he felt its warmth again in

his own'. He bowed over it. Her
eyes rested steadily on his blond
and again she. noted the

head,

hair For a second time she felt al—

most overwhelmingly the mysterious ,

strength of this man. Perhaps each

took three breaths before John
Aldous raised his head. In that time
something wonderful and complete

passed between them. Neither could
have told the other what it was.
When their eyes met again, it was in
their faces. ' v - —

“I have planned to have supper in
my cabin to—night," said Aldous,
breaking the tension of that first
moment. “Won’t you be my guest,
Ladygray?"

“Mrs. Otto—" she began.

“I will go to her at once and ex-
plain that you are going to eat
partridges with me,” be interrupted.
“Come—let me show you into my

workshop and home.”

He led her to the cabin and into
its one big room.

“You will make yourself at home
while I am gone, won’t you?" he in-
vited. “If it will give you any
pleasure you may peel a fey pota-
toes. I Won’t be gone ten minutes.”

Not waiting for any protest she
might have, Aldous slipped back
through the door and took the path
up to the Ottos’. '

CHAPTER V
S soon as he had passed from the
View of the cabin door Aldous
shortened his pace. He knew

that never in his life had he needed V

to readjust himself more than at the
present moment. A quarter of an
hour had seen-a complete and mir-
aculous revolution within him. It
was a change so unusual and appar-

_ ently so impossible-that he could not

grasp the situation and the fact all
at once. But the truth of it swept
over him more and more swiftly as
he made his way along the'dark, nar-
row trail that led .up to the Niette
Plain. It was something that not

his breath coming quicklyystrange
voices singing within him. '

He stopped to load and light his
pipe before he faced Mrs. Otto, and
he clouded himself in as much smoke
as possible while he explained to her
that he had almost forced Joanne to
stop at his cabin and eat partridges
with him. \ He learned that the Tete

‘Jaune train could not go on until

the next day, and after Mrs. Otto had
made him take a loaf of fresh bread
and a can of home—made marmalade
as a contribution to their feast, he
turned back toward the cabin, trying
to whistle in his old careless way.
The questions he had first asked

himself about Joanne forced them-

selves back upon him now with deep-
er import. Almost unconsciously he
had revealed himself to her. He had

’ spread open for her eyes and under-

standing the .page which he had so
long hidden. He had as much as

' confessed to her that she had come

to change him—-—to complete what he
had only half created. It had been
an almost inconceivable and daring
confession, and he‘believed that she
understood him. More than that,
she had learned about him. She had
read his books. She

But whfi did he know about her

beyond the fact that her anie was
Joanne Gray, and that the on-swep-
ing Horde had brought. her into his
life as mysteriously as a storm
might have flung him a bit of down
from a swan’s breast? Where had
she come from? And why was she
going to Tete Jaune? It must be

her to a place like Tete Jaune, the
rail-end, a place of several thousand
men, with its crude muscle and
brawn and the seven passions of
man. It was an impossible place fer a

young and beautiful woman unpro-j

tected. If Joanne had knowu any
one among the engineers or con-
ter of introduction to them, the tense
tractors, or had she possessed a let—
lines would not have "gathered so
deeply about the corners of Aldous‘
mouth. But these men whose brains
were behind the Horde—the en-

what women alone and unprotected

' CLEAR OUT SWAIN

Jean you thru your Farmers Seri-
vice Bureau tell me how I can clear
out a. swale covering one acre, it is
covered at present with willow and
other small brush, as it“ at present
it only dries out for about six weeks
of the year and then not sufllcisntly
that _I can get a horse in to, pull
them. It is my opinion thatjil this
can. be cleared permanently I‘ would
be able to get a little pasture, or in
some other way use it.—R. F. P.,
_ Hastings, Michigan. ‘ ’ »
-—-I believe the simplest plan, it th
ground is solid enough to hold up
a team around the swale, is to use
a long rope with the team, on solid
ground for pulling. the willows-
Perhaps this will require tWo men
to do the work in addition to the
team, but,it is' a very inexpensive
way of handling the proposition.

Another suggestion which might
be made is that the = possibility of
draining this hole shouldbe investi-
gated, if possible to drain it would,
of'course, be possible to users team
on it at practically any time.--H. H.
Musselman, Prefessor of Farm
Mechanics,’M. A. 0. '

CANNOT RECOVER TAX

If a party didn't know whether he
had to pay tax on cut-over- ~land or
. not and had already paid his tax be-
fore he found out, would the tax
collector be obli d to give it back
to the landowne ?—Mrs. F. D. A.,
Edmore, Mich. '

-—No. The property owners who be-
lieves himself entitled to exemption
from taxes is supposed to make ap-
plication for such exemption. If
through ignorance of the law or
oversight he fails to do so and the
tax is levied and paid he cannot

LIQUID IN BATTERY MUDDY

We have a 32-volt electric lighting
plant that wehave had about a year.
The batteries consist of 16 glass Jars
with rubber plates fastened together
by bands. At first when fully charg-

/ed the liquid would foam and become

almost milky. Lately after bacon-J
lug milky the fluid becomes dark and
almost muddy, when fully charged.
Would overcharging the batteries
cause this or is the fluid or acid
worn out?-——«Subscriber, Mich.

——The dark color of the electrolyte
would indicate that active material
from the plates has been dislodged
somewhat, due to the battery being
charged! at too high a rate. The
plates in the cells may have deteri-
orated, somewhat, so that the bat-
tery cannot now be charged at as,
high a rate as when it was new. You
may use lights or other equipment
while charging the battery making it

 

charge at a lower rate or have your
agent adjust the plant to charge
at. a lower rate.—~F. E. rFogle, Ass’t
Professor of Farm IMechanics, M. A.

' CLEAR OUT SWALE
Can you thru your Farmers Sor-
vice Bureau tell me how I can clear
out a swsle covering one: acre, it is
covered at present with willow and
other small brush. as “is at present

of the year and then not sumciently
that I can get a horse in to, pull
them. It is my opinion thatv'rif this
can be cleared permanently I would
be able to get a little pasture, or in
some other way use it.-—R. F. P.,
_ Hastings, Michigan. '

——-I believe the simplest plan, if the
ground is solid enough to hold up
a team around the swale, is to use
a long rope with the team on solid
ground for pulling. the willows.
Perhaps this will require tWo men
to do the work in addition to the
team, but,it is a very inexpensive
way of handling. the proposition.

Another suggestion which might
be made is that the possibility of
draining this hole shouldbe investi-
gated, if possible to drain it would,
of course, be possible to uses team
on it at practically any. time.—-——H. H.
Musselman, Professor of Farm
Mechanics,'M. A. O.

CANNOT RECOVER TAX

If a party didn’t know whether he
had to pay tax on cut—over ~1and or
. not and had already paid his tax be-
fore he found out, would the tax
collector be oblig d to give it back
to the landowneigi—Mrs. F. D. A.,
Edmore, Mich. '

———No. The property owners who be-
lieves himself entitled to exemption
from taxes is supposed to make ap-
plication for such exemption. If
through ignorance of the law or
oversight he fails to do so and the
tax is levied and paid he cannot

 

recover.——Editor. -

LIQUID IN BATTERY MUDDY

We have a 32-volt electric lighting
plant that we have had about a year.
The batteries consist of 16 glass jars
with rubber plates fastened together
by bands. At first when fully charg-
,'ed the liquid would foam and become
almost milky. Lately after becom-‘
ing milky the fluid becomes dark and
almost muddy, when fully charged.
Would overcharging the batteries
cause this or is the fluid or acid
worn out?——-«Subscriber, Mich.

——The dark color of the electrolyte

THE cross on A PEACH TREE.
Wonld.y.’ou advise planting three-_

 

yearsold ‘peach trees? .One of- my
planted ~ three-year-old
trees in 1918, but I can't see that

they are any better than an orchard 

of two-year-old trees planted at the
same time—R. 'L A.,
County.

——As an answer to this question, let,

us look up the history of these
trees. _ _ ‘ a

In the fall 1919 there was a peach
ripening o‘n a tree, somewhere in
the‘mountains of the Carolinas. It
was small'an‘d white, but when full
ripe had a good flavor. A wild tree
produced it, consequently it was
“natural” fruit. _ _

The peach, like thousands of oth-
ers was gathered by the mountain:
eers to dry for winter. The pit was
saved and sold to a dealer who
shippedlt to a northern nursery.

At some time during fall of 1916
that pit was planted.

was budded. During the next sum-
mer it grew into a tree and in the
fall it was dug and stored“ in a nurs—
ery cellar, to be sent out .for planting
in 1918. k '

The trees were graded and desig-
nated according to size as X, XX
or XXX. The difference in the
growth of peaches is remarkable. A
tree may be less than two feet high
or more than seven, the growth of
a single season.

Such a difference in the size makes
it is easy for an agent to claim a dif-
ference in the age of his stock.
However, the peach trees sent out by
nurseries are of one age, regardless
of the inequality in size.

In regard to the size far planting,
most orchardists prefer a medium
grade, claiming that they are more
thrifty than larger trees. Some sue.-
vessful growers, however, prefer
large stock and have good orchards
to prove their claim. Perhaps there
is less in the tree itself than in th
way it is cared for. _

GROWING SEEDLINGS -

How are apple. quince, cherry,
pear and swaimp huckleberries
started from seed? How are grape
cuttings made and when should they
bé planted?—W. E. S.

—Apple seeds are mostly obtained
from cider po-mace by washing. In
early spring they are planted like
seeds generally in rows far enough
apart to admit cultivating. Pear
and quince seeds are similar to the
apple.

Cherry pits, like other stone fruits
are planted in the fall. Planting is
similar to that of the apple.

The growing of huckleberries
from seed is not a simple matter. It
is really something which should be
done in a greenhouse, or a. hotbed.
The seeds are freed from pulp by
soaking thoroughly, then 'kept by

mixing in fine moist sand and storing '

in a cool place. The seeds in a.
greenhouse may be sown the latter
part of winter in boxes containing
a mixture of sand and loam, covering
slightly. cover with Sphagnum and
keep in a temperature between 60
and 65 degrees. The seed is slow to
germinate, but if kept moist some
of them should show signs of life 'in
a month, though others may remain
dormant much- longer, even a year.
Through the spring and summer they
are transplantedgthree times. By
the first of September they should be
ready to harden'off for winter. Give
little water, but pi’otect from frost as
late as convenient. Protect through
winter with some covering over the
cold frame. Air the frames once or

'twice a month, a few hours at a

time as a protection from fungus.
The following spring they are plant-
ed out in beds of sandy soil and kept
well watered. Protection is- needed
the second winter. After that they
are planted out and grown as ordi-
nary nursery stock.‘ This is enough
to scare, anybody but a’hardened hot-
hduso man.

Grape cuttings are made from the
hard wood, during the winter or

early spring, using the trimmings.

from the vines. The cuttings are.

made long enough to include at least‘

two, better three, buds“

Michigan. Farther south, where
the winters are less severe, fall. plant-
ing is in favor.

The objections to fall planting do-

not hold good in case of forest and
ornamental trees generally. They
are usually older and can endure the
winter better. Fall planting is usu-
ally preferred for them. Shrubs are
planted in the spring, unless they can
be protected when they are set.

 

~ NOTES

The Gideon apple has been in disfavor,
but that is not so much the fault of the '
fruit as a misunderstanding of its real
character. It has been described by
some prominent nurserymen as a. winter.
apple, but those who plant it in South-
ern Michigan with that in view, will be
disappointed. Here it ripens in autumn
Just about early enough to prevent rot-
ting on the tree. Farther north it ripens
later. It originated in Minnesota and is
a cold-climate apple. ‘ .

But the Gideon has much in its favor.
The fruit is not of- the highest quality,
but it‘is ready for green apple pie about
the middle of July and furnishes a supply
for this purpose during two months or
more. The tree grows vigorously, bears
early and often. For tap-working with
weaker w‘rieties it is one of the best. But

not for a winter apple.

INCREASING RUST RESISTANCE m

0F WHEAT
ACT-year the disease known as
“wheat rust" takes its tell,
of the crop. Some years the
damage is comparatively small but
it is always serious enough to be a.
constant menance .

Wheat rust comes in two stages
—-flrst, the summer stage as yellow
spots and then the winter stage as.
blackrspots. It has long been known

.that the common barberry bush is

an important factor in the propaga-
tion of the disease but it is only. of
late that anything approaching an
efficient campaign from its eradi-
cation has been attempted.

The .spores gf the black rust can
infect only the commo barberry.
They cannot, directly infe t wheat.
In the spring, the spores produce-
small spots on the barberry leaves.
These spots are full of tiny orange
cups containing another crop of
spores. If black rust cannot find ,
barberry leaves it is renderedequite _
harmless and the loss of many
bushels of wheat per acre prevented.

It 'has been obvious that much  

damage could be avoided by hasten-
ing the maturity 'of the crop, for

rust is most virulent at the; latter
end of the growing peridd..--Fer‘tu- ‘1 
izers have been used successfully to“ 1:. _

accomplish that end. They not only

nourish the plant so that it is better 
able to withstand rust, but also ripen ‘

Haul Stock This Fall With a GMC

Flashing along the good highways at a fast speed and also
developing more pulling power in bad going than is averaged by
trucks of like capacity, the Model K-41, Two Ton GMC truck, is
the finest equipment yet produced for hauling stock and for other
heavy work on the farm.

Like the “Jim-Dandy" one ton GMC, this truck has exclusive
improvements that increase operating economy and reduce the
time and expense of maintenance. Model K-41 is equipped with
the GMC Two—Range Transmission, providing greater pulling
power in combination with more road speed—a combination
never before accomplished until the development of this distinctive
feature by GMC engineers.

The Two-Range transmission has successfully multiplied economi-
cal engine power into greater power at the wheels and has opened
up new fields for motor trugk use, both in the city and on the
farm. With this transmission a GMC truck will go anywhere
that wheels can get traction and on good roads will speed 18
miles an hour with solid tires.

It has 'such other advantages as GMC Removable Cylinder Walls,
Pressure Lubrication, Removable Valve Lifter Assemblies,
Instantaneous Governor Action, Magneto Ignition, Conduit Wiring,
Thermo-Syphon Cooling, Electric Lights and Generator, Provis-
ion for Starting Motor and many other refinements not usually

found on motor trucks.

HAT canvas can portray, What silver-

tongued orator can describe, what imag-
inatiOn can picture the glories of the woods
which the hand of fall has painted with a
thousand colors?

If you would find peace, lose yourself in the
woods one of these bright October days. Just
lay aside the cares of the farm or household
and go down in the woodlot and spend a few
hours with the gaily-colored maples, with the
birds and chipmunks, and with God who smiles
from every sun-lit leaf and twig. '

Here for a few brief hours, “the world for-
got and by the world forgotten,” you can get
acquainted with your better self. You can
see your faults and your virtues and the faults
and virtues of your children and friends and
neighbors in their proper light. And that will
be a good thing for you and for them. An
occassional communion with one’s own self
works wonders in the forming of noble char-
acter. The place to talk things over with your_

self is in the solitude of the woods and the.

time is the glorious fall.

Be on Thy Guard

ARMERS and farmer legislators who have
fought for the primary and believe in the
primary as a means of keeping the government
in the hands of the people should be on their
guard. For it is in danger. r

The primary robbed the political boss of his
power. No longer does he control elections or
sell offices to the highest bidder. He is a king
without a crown, a Kaiser dethroned and dis-
graced But, unless signs fail,‘ he is stag-
ing a come-back. So watch out. .

Only four hundred thousand out of a million
voters cast their ballots in Michigan in the
recent primary election. The political bosses
say that ’s an indication that the primary is a
failure as a means of interesting people in their
government and in the men Who arechosen to
run their government. They never used that
argument when nominations were controlled
by convention's BocauSe in those “good old
days,” the town hall couldn’t mopmodate more
than one out of ten of the registered voters,
and it took a mighty spirited contest to induce

Dr. Friday and the madman

“This is the first time that I have-availed my
self of telling you that I am a subscriber and a
real reader of your paper. It is-said that every
man owes a part of his time to the upbuilding of
the industry to which he belongs. ,

“On the fourth page of the September 16th
issue Irread what President Friday of M. A. 0.
had to say at the State Fair in regard to the
middleman. If he continues such lines of talk
in further addresses the farmers of the State of
Michigan should petition to have him removed
at once. He has already impeached himself.

"It can’t be possible that he has read what the
Philadelphia bank has to say about the need and
value of farm organizations in the same issue.
I wonder if he does not think that the producer
is entitled to at least fifty per cent of the con-
We would be very much pleased
to read an editorial in your paper as to what you
think of his address at the Fair. You have al-
ways appeared to me to be fearless and it is cer-
tain the Professor needs information . He fur-
thermore should be closeted with Baruch for a.
time—Marvin C. Haight, Van- Buren County,
Michigan. . 7

IT may as well be confessed, now that you
have brought up the subject, that many of
President David Friday’s best friends were
surprised and disappointed with his State
Fair addgess. ‘It was a distinctly un—Friday-
like speech. It bristled with the “two blades
of grass” theory, and contained no encourage—
ment for the co-opcrator. it rankled his
farmer audience even to the point of heckling,
which is bad for any speaker and particularly
for the president of an agricultural college.

If Pres. Friday really believes that few if "

any economies can be effected in the/market-
ing of crops, we must admire him for the
courage of his admission even though we do
not agree with him. It would; be bad for pro-
gress if our educators should preach a doc-
trine which they did not believe merely to sat-
isfy the whims of their hearers.

But does Dr. Friday really want us to be-
lieve that he sees no hope for bringing pro-
ducer and consumer closer together? We
doubt it. Or is he temporarily disheartened
by the failure of the co—operative movement to

cope with the problems of co—operation, and.
prefers to rest his reputation as an educator,

upon the more popular theory of profits by
efficiency in production rather than upon the
yet—to—bc-provcn theory of profits by eificiency
in marketing? This sounds more likely.

Men assume a tremendous responsibility
when they strike out from the trodden paths
and seek to find a better. way to market. If
they encounter unforseen obstacles, as they
often do. and the way proves more difficult and
costly than the old—travelled road, they must

humbly accept the censure which is so often ~

heaped upon them. Even the most ardent be-
lievers in co-operatiVe organization are begin-
ning to shrink from the role of leadership in
untried marketing experiments. .‘

BALL BEARINGS make it easy to operate

:12: flighefl Development in CREAM SEPARATOR szftruc‘lion

For forty-five years dairymen have struggled with hard-
turning cream separators. Excessive friction caused them
much trouble in the hand operation of the machines. Now
the cream separator engineers of the Harvester Company,
with this problem constantly in mind, and the satisfaction of
the operator at stake, have designed and constructed a Ball-
Bearing Primrose Cream Separator which reduces the power
required to operate by approximately 35 %.

In this latest Primrose, the ball bearings are located at

       
     
        
       
     
   
    

points where the resistance is greatest in the opera-
tion of all makes or cream separators.

The Ball-Bearing Primrose is in no sense an
experiment. It has been tested and proved a re-
markable improvement in the hands of thousands
of farmers and dairymen in New York, Wisconsin,
California, Minnesota, and other dairy sections of
the United States. The unanimous decision of all
users is that it represents a development which has
long been needed, especially in territory where
large machines are in use, and where more would
be profitably used were it not for the hard turning ‘
of the plain-bearing machines.

The International Harvester Company’s broad
and liberal guarantee stands solidly behind this
product. Primrose deserves its high reputation, not
only for its recovery of the greatest amount of but-
ter fat when operated as instructed, but for its

ability to do so with less labor.

The Ball-Bearing Primrose is one of the products
in the McCormick-Deming line of farm operating
equipment. It may be seen and studied at the
store of yOur McCormick-Deering dealer. Write
us for catalog if you prefer.

{HIE EYES OF. SECOOL
./-"CHILDREN._ 
1' ORE attention is being paid to-

4 day to the health of our child-

ren than ever before. Threats,
teeth, ears and eyes are looked after
with more care in both homes and
schools. A child can not do good
work in school nor be a good, happyr
Child anyWhere unless he or she is

' in good physical condition. ,

C It was recently said by a prom

.inent educator that of the 24,000.—

000 school children in the United
States not more than one third have
received eye tests and that many
whose eyes have been tested have
been found to have been fitted in-
correctly. This statement if true is
most discouraging for it is doubtless
true that 80% of the so-called dull
or backward children have defective
vision not defective brains and can
not be held responsible for their
dullness.

The manner in which a room is
lighted has some efilect upon the eye-
sight of those living in it. Low
shaded lights are not only more ar-
tistic‘but are much easier for the
eyes than a high bright light which
gives a most unpleasant effect. It
is true that a light falling on the

book from behind the left shoulder‘

is the best direction for the light to
come from altho why it is left in—
stead of right has never to my
knowledge been told. Perhaps for
the same reason that we must throw
salt in that direction to avoid a
quarrel.
Cross-Eyed Mary ,
“With golden curls and rosy
cheeks she skipped joyfully to
school. It was her first day, the very
first that she had ever been away
from home. She was six years old
now and was going to be a.little
lady. The rapture she felt as she
thought of the other girls she would
meet and play With. Her cup of joy
was full and over—flowing.
“Reaching the school she formed
in line with the other girls who
stared at her —some grinned, some

7‘smiled, some laughed at her and said

“hello, cross eyes”. For the first
time in her little life she suffered
as she had
for she real—
ized that she was different from the
others—she was cross—eyed.

“The day at school dragged on
and on. It was so long. It seemed
that ,she would never get away from
it.’ But, when the day ended she
hurried home amid the jeei's of the
boys and girls calling after her-—
“Cross—eyed Maary”. Her dear lit-
heart was broken and all the joy she
felt in the morning was turned to
tears.

“She persevered at school day af-
ter day until she could stand it no
longer. Then she went to her
mother with big tears in her eyes
and told her all her trou’ries. She
begged her mother not to send her
back to school because she wasn’t
the same as other girls.

“And, it was not until those chub-
by little arms were clasped about
her mother’s neck, with the big tears
rolling thick and fast down her
cheeks, that the mother realized the
injustice she had done.

“MORAL: Many heart-aches and
sorrows can be kept from the dear
little ones we love, and many hours
of regret from parents, if they
watch carefully over their children.
Little Mary’s eyes should‘ have had
attention when the first tendency of
trouble became apparent. Many of
these cases merely require lenses to
correct the defect which causes the
eye to cross—The Eye Sight Con-
servation Council of America.

 

CANNING BAKED BEANS

I ever tried canning baked beans?

keeping when processed 20 minutes
altho this was original as there was
no receipe given in cook book that
comes with the cooker. They are
one of the best things ~we keep on
our emergency shelf. I always add
about a spoonfull-of brown sugar or
molasses to a panful of beans, not
enough so they will taste sweet but
it adds a great deal to their flavor.

A SHORT SUMIVIARY

KIRTS are coming down, a short

distance anyway and if your

skirts are too short,put a yoke
around the top, Wear an over blouse
to cover the short yoke and no one
will be the wiser.

Over blouses are much worn—in
shades to match and contrasting
colors also.

The white shirt-waist with colored
skirts seems to be tabooed this sea-
son.

However, women in business will
wear what seems to them suitable
and useful. Soft clinging materials
are again favorites although many
tafietas are worn.

Odd and striking combinationsof'

colors are seen everywhere but for
the woman of moderate means quiet
colors and combinations are best.
One does not tire of them as soon
and the fact that a dress is worn for
several seasons is not so apparent.

I do not believe that the uneven
skirt at the bottom will hold in favor
very long it has a little untidy, rag—
ged appearance that some hold oi)-
jectionable, especially for . street
wear

It is certainly an extreme of fash-
ion. A recent fashion exhibit

LEAGUE ILLUSTRATES CITIZEN-
. SHIP BY PLAYS ...

HE Massachusetts League of

Women Voters is preparing a

series of plays for citizenship,

education. Mrs. Frederick P. Bag-
iey, first Vice-President of the Mass-
achusetts League, has written the
first play to be produced—“How
Maggie Mac Taggert Became a Cit-
izen." Mrs. Bagley is former chair-
man of the National League’s com-
mittee on American Citizenship, and
her long experience in this work,
both in the League and in the State
has given her a great fund of dram-
atic and colorful stories for these
plays. Mrs. Bagley's play was pro-
duced under the auspices of the Cit-
izenship Dramatic Club by the Dux-
bury Leag’ue of Women Votersand
netted them a nice sum for door re-
ceipts. .

COLD PACK CANNING OUTFIT
I NOTICED in a recent issue of M.
13. F. a request for information
in regard to a cold pack canning
outfit. I purchased the “Hall Cold
Pack Canner" made in Grand Rap-
ids and I gave it the preference over
all'others, for the reason that one

I Will give the readers of this
page my recipe for making hard
soap: To one can of lye add 2 1-“
pints of soft water (cold), and cool
to 80 degrees F. by your thermo-
meter. Melt 5 1—2 lbs. of cleansed
greae and cool to 120 degrees.
When ready to mix add 1 cup of
ammonia and 4 tablespoons full of
borax to the lye, pour grease into
the lye stirring constantly until the
mixture drops from the paddle. as
thick as honey, and pour into a

 

‘wooden box lined with heavy paper,

and when it sets out into bars.

The secret of success is not to stir
the mixture too long, as t will sep-
arate. I have never had a failure
and the soap is as white as any you
buy when cured.——Mrs. M. M. H.

 

CANNED FRUIT SPOILS
'I am interested in your paper.’ I
am a young girl of seventeen and.
have kept house for my father for

two years.

I have trouble with my fruit spoil—
ing. I,use new tops and rubbers
some new cans, my daddy turns
them tight and I seal them with
wax but yet they spoil.

My cellar is very damp, would
that cause fruit to spoil? Do cans
have to be hot when” the fruit is put
in? I read in a— magazine that if
you- put a silver knife in' the cans.
they would not need to be hot.. " I
never break a can that way. ‘1' won-
der if that would make them spoil. ’

SEEDLING GERANIUMS
I saw in your paper recently a re-
,quest for some one to/write their
experience with seedling geraniums.
In the spring of 1921, I procured a
packet of geranium seed from a seed
house and planted out of doors. I
guess ~they all grew as they came
up very thick and grew fast, but
.I had to put them in pots as the
cut worms began taking them. I
kept them all summer and not one
of them blossomed though. They
grewio be fine specimens. I had

something like fifty of them and I

kept them around all Winter and
only two blossomed. They were
both single scarlet; This spring I
set the whole lot out of doors and
they have been full of blooms all
summer. Everyone was single but
there were» several shades of pink
and one varigated pink and white
but more scarlet than any other
color.

Last summer I hand tertilized

some of my double geraniums and
this spring sowed the seed. Only
one grew and is now about a foot
high but I expect to have to keep
it over winter to see it blossom.

This summer I saved the seed
from my seedlings out of doors and
will try it. again next summer. If
“Subscriber” will send her name
I will divide with her. -

Can anyone tell me how to keep
geraniums in the cellar over winter?
Will they live if the cellar is dark?
Alsorhow much if any moisture do
they require.

Does anyone know if a flowering
maple should be kept down in the
cellar or not in the winter.——“An—
other Subscriber.”

-HOME SPUN

Brown or -gray crockery bowls of
medium size are very nice forvput-
ting away leftovers; They may be
put in the oven when you wish to
re-heat the food.

Disinfect drains. with a solution
of 2 oz.»of chloride of lime to 1 gal
of Water.

Usie a‘ strong solution of washing
soda in boiling water in the kitchen
sink two or three times aweek, this
keeps it sweet.

Plenty of pulverized borax in tip
water in which daintily colored
dress goods are washed will keep
them from fading. ‘-

Cayanne pepper is very offens1ve-
to mice.

Keep potatoes under water when
peeling them this will leave very
little stain on the fingers. It ap‘
plies also to Onions.

Use. wooden tooth-picks for test—
ing cakes. They are much cleaner
than broom straws. -

ERRORS!

Two typographical errors in the
last issue should be corrected. Dr.
Coue’ is the name of the French
doctor. ,

The prescription for colds should
read—Acitanilide 10 grains not 10
drahms.

THE HUNTED WOMAN .
(Continued from page 6)
drew a deep breath, and went. on. her
eyes full upon him, speaking as it
out of a dream. “The Great Adven:
ture—for you. Yes and perhaps for
both.”

Her hands were drawn tightly to
her breast. Something about her as
she stood there, her back to the
table, drew John Aldous to her side,
forced the question from his lips:
“Tell me, Ladygray why are you
going to Tete Jaune?”

In that same strange way, as if her
lips were framing words beyond their
power to control, she answered:

“I am going—to find—my hug.
band.”

We had thirty miles of paved roads.
It was certainly a nice road. But

on it. We reached Muskegon at
eleven o’clock and then we went all

afternoon vaent in bathing awhile
and then rode on the merry

gan are nothing but pure white sand
with some beautiful buiidings built
upon " it.
the sand around here. There were.
great big sand' hills quite a" ways

'out in the lake which looked beauti-

ful: We walked out ona dock for
about a halt a 'mile. The light
houses were built on it. [We walked
along the shore for about a half a-
mile. Then we started for home
and when we were coming through
Muskegon we saw an auto accident.
The auto turned over two or three
times. We did not stop to see it

at a little place coming home and

With no community. of - interest
landlord and renter are not 'con-

 corned in ~_rsising purebred live_
. pluck. For this is a' process of long

years 7 .of continuous improvement,
only cones ,as a rule, where
or vision work for a definite
pattern of perfection. ‘
_  On' the weudt d: Painter farm—
snd en the other farms owned by
 Wendt-:tyill be feund pure bred
anihals._ Frank'Painter gives his
attention to high class Durocs.‘ On
another farm Poland China swine
unite. with Holstein cows to turn
feed into food. With good breeding
j dock selling at. substantial advances
above market. quotations for com-
mecca, it is easy tosee how Mr.
Painter made a good living for‘him-
self and family and bought a good
farm with his profits; and how the

filler land worker we referred to,

actually put away $3,000 ayear
clear profit for seven years—an al-
most unheard of procedure——for it

‘ must be» remembered that the land

owner shared equally with his part~
nor in the profits. i
The general policy of all the part-
nership farms we know of, is to sell
nothing but live stock—pure bred
and market hogs and cattle, dairy
and poultry products, etc. When this
policy is consistently followed for
a number of years, it is easy to see

him profits for both partners are .

likely to exceed those 'of the aver-
. age grain farmer.
The Wendt farming agreement is

“-/ short and simple in form .but it

represents the most painstaking, care
in the wording thereof. It is not
lately that the lawyer called upon to
write a "partnership agreement, could
orgwould give to the task as much
' thought or as much actual experi-
ence .. ' ‘ .

Some have attempted ,to improve
Upon the terms of this contract, but
nearly always such experiments re—
sult in disaster. For the agreement
as it htands is based uponabsolute
justice to land owner and land
worker, with the idea of cementing
their friendly co-operation for a com-
.mon purpose. It has been studied
from every angle for. more than
fourteen years and'where it has been
tried by men willingly to play the
game fairly and honestly, it has
brought prosperity to the combina-
tion . -

This suggests that no agreement
will. succeed where the principal fac-
tors there to are. not of the right
kind; which is the same as saying
that partnerships, corporations, gov-
ernment, family life—any farm of
’ co—operatfve effort will fall where. all
the parties are not in harmony with
> the central idea of service to the
institution.

Dr. Wendt himself is a man of
broad human sympathy. His work
in his home town is an example of
what a man of vision and power can
do to make Sinclair Lewis' picture
of "Main Street" look ridiculous.
He is a substantial member of the
community where he has spent his
life as a physician. His natural
caution is combined with a dream of
high ideals of life. His work in
that commnlty in building for'per-
manent progress in everything that
is worth while, deserves a story all
by itself . ' .

V It is only natural that a man of
. :thlsw calibre understands the "tech-
nique of Mention. He has an in-
» stinct for gettiil‘g along» happily with
those around him, and this is simply
due to his readiness to live by the
Golden Rule. He-isn’t always try-

ing to get thebest of the deals- Ha I

is willing to make a profit- but he
knows that he can do so only where
his co-laborer also makes a profit.

0n the other hand, it takes a man

rather above the average in skill, 4-

lntelligence, and general decency to

make a success as the "party of the.

first part”-—the workerwho perhaps
brings to? the partnership only his

two strong hands and his thinking ‘
‘. Jrain—an invincible combination,

. by the way, in any situation in life.

example of the right kind of
mentor the 30b. is F1'ank Painter,
whohas some original ideas in addi-
tion .to his training in the details
of running a farm.‘ .‘He is smart
enough to breed high class Duracs.
for instance, and has now a herd of
extra good ones that are steadily

improving from year to year.

On the very day we were there,
Frank said to the Doctor, “Don’t
you think we should sow some rape
in that ten-acre corn field? We can
always use more pasture.” ‘

“Sara? rallied the doctor after
a moment’s thought.“ "How much
seed do you need and when?" .

And right there a little detail in.
good farm management was disposed
of in less than half a minute's time.
That’s the way it works; two heads
are better than one.

Another forward-looking farmer,
Mr. B. L. Pruett, .is also making
good on one of the fine farms in
Lincoln County. He added an extra
twenty pounds of pork per head to
a bunch of hogs by shifting them.
from field to field as they grew in
weight. When they gore young and
active he pastured them in a distant
field; when they got a bit lazy he
put them into a field close to the
barn; and finally he gave them a
three weeks finish in the feed lot
where they got practically no exer-
cise. This is a simple matter-——but
how many hog men have thought
of it? I _ ‘ A V

The Wendt farming agreement
provides in effect that the land
owner is to furnish the land and
keep a good set of buildings in prop-
er condition to do business .The
worker gives his labor and furnishes
his own teams and implements. All
the live stock—other than work ani-
mals—are bought and owned j_olntly
by the partners and each has an
equal share in the increase. No
sales or purchases can be made with-
out mutual consent. ‘

Where a few milk cows are kept,
the product is divided equally, but
Dr. Wendt is now working on a pro:
vision that will permit the worker
to own as many cows as he is will-
ing to milk, the feed to be furnished
by the‘ partnership, and all of the
cream to be sold for the account of
the. worker—the skim milk to be
fed on the farm.

by the way, were appointed by Gov.

On the other hand the inquiry may

havecsome times thought myself—
that men in public‘ positions, es-
pecially ones, who consider. it be-
neath the dignity of their office to
be bothered with complaints from
the ordinary citizen, and the fort
that the Business Farmer receives
scores of complaints which have
been referred to such officials with-
out results, is evidence of the fact

that food regardless of whether she ‘

produces any milk. Food used for
milk production must be in addition
to that required to 'keep the cow’s
body. A IMO-pound cow produc-
ing 20 pounds of 4 per ’cent milk ‘a
day, if properly fed, devotes about

2. Feed grain in proportion to
the pounds of milk produced. To a
Jersey or Guernsey cow feed one
pound of grain for each 3 to 3%
pounds of milk produced.

To a Holstein, Ayrshire, or Short-
horn feed one pound of grain for
each 4 to 414 pounds of milk pro-
duced.

 

THE LIVESTOCK SITUATION
IN EUROPE

HE following summary of live-
stock conditions in Europe has
just been received by cable
from Alfred P. Dennis, special rep-
resentative of the Department of
Commerce, now in Berlin. Mr. Den-
nis explains that owing to the lack
of official census returns there Is
liability of error in making too high
an estimate of the number of Euro-
pean. livestock at this time.
Though the figures for some coun-
tries are lacking and for others are
not reliable, estimates for twenty-
three countries in Europe have been
made based upon the best available

returns.
Cattle

There have been heavy losses in
the cattle herds of Belgium, Austria,
Hungary, and Germany, but those of
Great'Britian, France, Italy, and Po-
land 'are approaching normal. The
drought of 1921 has halted the re-
covery from the low point of the
year 1918, but the industry has re-
cently been revived by the past wet
spring and summer which has re-
sulted in abundant pasturage. The
present stock of cattle is probably
not more than 3 per cent under that
of 1913, but the ratio of young, thin,
and undersized animals is much
higher than in the period prior to
the war. ,

Hogs ,

The hog industry has suffered ac-
utely more than any other branch of
animal husbandry, but the recovery
since 1919 has been rapid, except
in the case of countries such as Ger-
many, France, Belgium, Austria, and
Italy, which are dependent upon im-
ported feed. In Great Britian, Den-
mark, Sweden, and Poland the pro-
duction is approaching normal, and
the number of hogs in Spain, Ru-
mania, Jugoslavia, Holland,d and
Syritzerland is greater than before
the war. The total number of hogs
in European countries is now esti-

mated at 12 per cent below normal.

Sheep and Goats ,

Sheep depending upon nature.
pasturage rather than upon arable
farming suffered less than cattle and
hogs. There is afwide variation in
recovery in this industry. In Po-i
land the sheep resources are off. 41
per cent compared with t 0 pro-
war 'flgu'res,‘ and in France It ere” is
‘ .Iedmiiln~~-9§:~J§§ 

~known to be poisonous.

once in heat since. Otherwise

   

has increased the number of sheep
by 50 per cent, and the docks are,
well maintfilned' in Switzerland,

Italy, and Rumania. .An aucuratea

census of the total number of sheé'p'

in all European ,countries would '

probably show the number has ap-
roachedto within Beer 7 per cent of
the pro-war figures. '

’In all the important countries the" g a
“stocks of goats are reported as

showing gains over pro-war,_stocks=
except in France. These animals,-
except where commandered for mili-_
tary purpose and for breeding, are?
being used in increasing numbers
for milk supply in the place of cows.‘
The total number of goats in the-
countries of Europe is estimated
at 18 per cent above the pro-war
totals. ‘ . '
Consumption and Trade

Compared with pro-war years the
national meat consumption; in Eu-
rope shows a rise in France, Italy,
Rumania, Spain, and Poland. It is
fairly.’ well maintained in Great Brit-
ian, Holland, L and Switzerland.
There is‘a sharp decline in both
gross and per capitapconsumption
in Belgium, Austria, and Germany.
The European demand for American
hog products reached the propor-
tions of a boom during the war and
has since receded somewhat, but ’1"
is still in excess of the pre-war vol-
ume in France,Belgium, Italy, and
Great Britian. The needs of Ger-.
many for American bacon and an-
imal fats are urgent, but the dim-'
culties attendant upon financial ar-
rangements curtail purchases.
There will undoubtedly be a further
expansion in the European demand
for American lard as the general
economic conditions improve.

SICILIAN BUTTERCUP CHICKENS

Can you tell me the original mark-
ings fo the Sicilian Buttercup chick-
ens? Some of ours are light yellow
with a few black spots on their
backs, and black tail, they are quite
pretty. The others are darker in
color and all black from the neck

tercuips are not a standard variety
and therefore a description of the
color pattern of this breed has been
omnmitted. The darker colored birds
are the ones that are usually pre-

is one of the methods recommended.
It is simple, cheap and easy. With
cleaned grain it is effective.
Three years ago. the farmers of
Kent county put into practice a. still
simpler method for seed treatment.
This is the concentrated treatment
which had ‘been almost universally
adopted in this state for Oat Smut

Its great simplicity, however,’ led
some farmers to use the treatment
carelessly in 1917 with the conse—
quence that damage to grain result-

ported. The directions given this
year are hedged around with caution
in order to impress farmers—not
with the danger of treatment—but
with the necessity of strict adher-
ence to the rules given for treat—
ment. The world seéms too full of
people who always double the dose
that the doctors order, working
on the. principle that if a little is
Both
methods outlined are as strong as is
advisable to use on wheat and safety
lies in strict compliance. ‘

Methods for the Control of Smut

Secure clean grain of good va-
riety. Smutty grain is unsafe seed.

Fan thoroughly to remove all
light, shrivelled grains and smut
balls.

Disinfect the drill with the For-
maldehyde solution.

Avoid infection from Old sacks.

Treat by one of the following
methods and plant at once.

Do not treat more than you can
plant in any one day.

‘ Dilute Formaldehyde Method

Sprinkle the grain until thorough-
ly wet with solution Of 1 pint of
Formaldehyde to 40 gallons of wa—
ter..

Cover with blankets or sacks for
two hours. _

‘Formaldehyde treatments are ne-
cessary for crop protection but they
must be given carefully and with
scrupulous attention to directions.

Allow for swollen condition of the
grain.

Concentrated Formaldehyde Method

The convenience of this method_
is its chief advantage. Only those
who will follow directions carefully
should employ it since considerable
loss resulted .during the .cold. wet
planting season of 1917 through im-
proper handling.

Apply Formaldehyde, f u 1 1
strength, with hand sprayer while
the grain is being shoveled over and
over.‘ Use at the rate of one pint
to 50 bushels, 1-2 pint to 25 bush-
els, 1—5 pint to 10 bushels, etc. The
proper amount of Formaldehyde may
be diluted one or two times with
water to aid distribution. A dose is
a dose—this is as strong as For—
maldehyde can safely be used on
wheat.

Cover or sack the grain four hours
—absolutely no longer. Then spread
to air in a warm, dry place for an
hour or two. It is unsafe to leave
grain covered or sacked over night.
Formaldehyde cannot be thoroughly
aired out of grain. Therefore plant
at once. Treat no more grain than
can be sown on the same day.

I . - REVIEW

I ' THE industriahoutlook has chang-

ed but little since our last issue.

’ If anything it shows improve-
ment- For the first time in a long
time there are actually more jobs
than men to fill them in certain lines.
A few months ago the want columns

.of the” daily newspapers were full of
“situation wanted”

ads. Now the
“help wanted” ads predominate.

Railroad employee are rapidly re-
turning to work under wage agree-
ments with the rail operators, and
in most cases. without the reduction
in wages which was at first threat-
ened. With the assistance of the
high freights and a volume of busi—
ness very close to the maximum
ever recorded, the railroads are grad-
ually getting on their feet and their
books begin to show some heavy
balances for distribution to stock-
holders. Railroads having bond is-
sues to dispose of are quite extrav-
agant with their claims of large
earnings, which seem hardly consist-
ent with the hard luck stories they
have been telling the Commerce
Commission and the public“

Stocks and bonds are experienc-
ing the usual fall demand and prices
are generally upward. There is plenty
of money available for investment
and speculation at 4 per cent inter
est in New York and slightly higher
rates westward.

Two weeks ago we expressed our
conviction that there would be no
war between England and Turkey,
and that those who were looking for
increased prices as a result of the
disturbances over there would prob-
ably be disappointed. Recent devel—,
opments seem to substantiate our
belief. , t

The two discouraging factors are
the coal shortage and the low price
of farm products, both of which bid
fair to exert an overshadowing in-
fluence before the winter is far ad-
vanced. It seems quite possible that
we can have a winter of even average
prosperity and employment with coal
prices so high and farm prices so.
low. Gov. Groesbeck has called the
legislature in special session to con-
sider legislation to regulate the
coal supply and keep. prices down.
Now if he will only exert himself, to
regulate the flow of farm products
and keep their prices up we shall all
be very grateful.

WHEAT

The wheat market has shown
quite unexpected strength during
the past fortnight, due, say the mar-
ket dopsters to the war‘clouds across
the water. Personally we don’t be-
lieve that the possibility of war has
had very 'much to do with the chang-
ed trend in wheat, but it suffices as
an excuse for thgse who are in con-
trol of the market and think the
time‘ripe for higher prices. But no
matter what the reason or excuse if
the farmers are to secure any bene-
fit from advancing prices let them
m‘ount. The higher the better. We
still maintain, however, in Case war
does not actually develop, that
prices will react -somewhat from
their present level and rule steady
for a considerable period of time. The
past week has not only seen some
slowing up in the marketing move-
ment, but also some clearing in the
supplies in primary markets, and the
general tone of the market is very
much better than it has been for
some time.

POTATOES

-The potato outlook is very dis-
couraging. Prices have taken a pro-
nounced slump the entire country
over. This has had the efl‘ect of
checking the enormous marketing
movement which followed immedi-
ately in the wake of digging in
the principal potato sections. Only
such farmers as absolutely need the
cash will sell potatoes at prices rul-
ing the past few days. We look for
an abrupt drop in potatoes offerings
which should have
ing the slack out of the market and
encouraging better prices. Within
another fortnight when potato dig-
ging will .be pretty well completed
we shall know .considerable more
about the size and quality of the crop

noticed on pretty good steers and
yearlings ,the latter particularly be-
ing hit hard, and some of the $10.50

yearlings late looked. like $11.50 or:

higher yeaflings week before.
Receipts of‘ cattle to: the” week at
Chicago total 76,600, or around
1,400 more than arrivedweek before
last and largest for any week since
the third week in January, 1921,
when 77,601 cattle weremarketed.
Recent warm weather tended- to

slacken demand for dressed beef, and '

with an accumulation of medium._
grade beef .on hand, prices broke
after mid—week and suifered “sharp
declines. Weak to lower dressed

MOP REPORT ‘ .

The semi-monthly crop notes is-
sued October 4th by John A. Doelle,

Commissioner of Agriculture and ‘

Verne H. Church, Agricultural Sta-
tistician, U. S. Bureau of Agricult-

ural Economics, states that the lat- ‘
ter half. of September was generally .

favorable for harvesting crops and
the {all seeding of grain.

The greater ‘part of the corn crop
has been cut and most of the silos
have been filled. Very little dam—
age has been done by irost, except
in a few northeastern counties. and
the crop is generally good-‘ The
yield'was shortened somewhat on the
lighter soils by dry'weather in Aug
est. ‘

There has been a tendency in some
sections to decrease the acreage ‘of
wheat and rye seeded this tall, ow-
ing to unsatisfactory prices for
these grains. lilowever, the greater
part of the large bean acreage has
been or will be sown to these crops.
The greater part of the seeding has
been completed and many fields are
showing above ground.

Much damage has been caused by
rains during the harvest season in
the saginaw valley, reducing the
yield and lowering the quality. Else-
where the damage has been only 10-
cal and the crop was secured in good
condition. Yields vary widely but
will average slightly below normal.

Digging of the late crop of pota-
toes has commenced. Yields are less
than expected in many sections. The‘
tubers are of good size but the set
was lessened by dry weather at the
critical time. There has been some
frost damage, blight and rot in
northeastern counties. In other sec-
tions the quality is mostly good.
