An Independent Farmer’s Weekly OWned and Edited in Michigan $1 PER YEAR THE STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL COW-TESTING ASSOCIATION in the United States was organ- ized at Fremont, Michigan, in 1906. The association engaged in active testing for a period of 12 consecutive years or until 1918 when it was temporarily disbanded. It was reorganized January 13:,1922. with eighteen members which later increased to twenty-six. An average j at 266 cows have been tested "each ‘ month since the reorganization. Hoyt D. Shisler, well known Oceana county farmer, is the official tester of the association, qualifying for the position after a short course at the M. A. C. Clair Taylor, county agricultural agent, has played an im- portant part in bringing about the reorganization of the association and is now wor -‘ on plans for a second association. emajority of dairy- men belonging to the association ex- press themselves as highly pleased with the result and will undoubt- edly continue the work for another year. Concrete evidence of ”the value of _ cow-testing was shown at a recent ‘ horticultural exhibit at when Mr. Shisler put on an exhibit illustrative of cow-testing results. One of the exhibits showed 581 ,, pounds of butter produced by a ‘3 Guernsey from the herd of Herman Zerlaut, which showed a profit of $107. 33 above the feed cost of $71- ..63 Another display was of 172 pounds of butter produced by a grade Holstein at a loss of $22. 96. Both cows from Zerlaut's herd. Exhibits of different kinds of feed showed the differences between bal- anced and unbalanced rations, the latter costing almost as much as , the former. Photos were exhibited of two cows, showing where the poorest cow in the herd, but not the most unprofit- able, was the mother of the best ' cow and also the HE first cow- -testing association, Fremont, ‘ Association at the present time.

The rail heads, Here 01' The railroad ques- take the side—rods down on the 5342 and get her in shape to be towed back to the shops.” 3 An hour later a light engine came up behindWhe standing train and slowly shoved it to the next siding. Two mechanics and the roundhouse foreman were on the engine besides the engineer and fireman who brought the engine out. The engine crews changed places on the engines, the disabled engine was uncoupled from the train and the relief engine coupled on and the train proceeded one hour and thirty minutes late. The two mechanics and the round- house foreman examined the dis- abled engine and announced that they would take doyn the broken side- rod; make temporary repairs on the broken spring-hanger and would be ready to leave with it in tow of some other engine within anhour and a. half. When they imparted this in- formation to the train dispatcher he informed them that an extra would be along Within an hour and if” the 5342 was ready to move when it came the engine would be moved. Otherwise they would have to stay with the'engine‘ until the next extra came along as the first extra would not be held a half an hour for the purpose of.‘ towing the disabled 5342 in to the shops. The roundhouse foreman and his two mechanics worked as rapidly as possible but before they could finish the job the freight which might'have towed the disabled engine to the di- vision terminal had passed. Now note what happened: The engineer and fireman, the. two mechanics and the roundhouse fore- man waited from 9:30 a. m., until 7:30 p. m., for a train to pick them up with the engine and take them to the terminal. Even .. were picked up but wer not re until nearly midnight an all of them except the roundhouse for man drew pay with time and one-half for all hours after the first eightwuntil they were back to the“ terminal. In-.other words the officials of the road would not hold 'the first extra train half an hour 'so that it could pick up the disabled engine and the five employees, the company paid out approximately 14 or 18 hours extra time to each mechanic and engine— man—a 'total of at least 68 hours. ’ At this time the mechanics rates Were 77 cents per hour. The en- ginemen’s rate was figured in mile— age and was ever higher. Which brings us to the quest‘ionfl Are the railroads managed in an’ex- travagant manner? During one of the hearings in Chi- cago before the Labor Wage Board the labor unions purported to set BY C. E. JOHNSON (SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER.) “The statistical work, the backbone of a good knowledge of conditions throughout the country and the world, has been materially strength- ened. Seventy thousand dollars are being added to the livestock work this year alone, in order that the ~Department may be able to tell the number of livestock on the farms twice a year.” “More is being done to keep track of what other countries are going to do so far as planting crops and how the crops are to be sold. Fereign demand and how much of a salable surplus of American pro- ducts the other countries will need will be closely watched.’ _ “The Department of Agriculture should place itself in" the position of a man owning all the farms in the country and then study how to make all "payi‘fo'ut well’ asserted Sec- retary Wallace. “Colleges must . give more attention to the econom— ics of agriculture; economy in proc- duction and the business side of farming. ”' ‘ .— wan ce lama some of the achievements of the nation in bring- _ king sgri . ' t (it the worst dez. P this My has ever V m .M§ency ”Berti! t1! extehding of the War : changes as he deems best present scope were named as two of the most important measures enact— ed to put agriculture back on its feet. In speaking of the War Fi- nance Corporation Act, Secretary Wallace said that “it was recogniz- ed by aall as a Wise piece of emerg— ency legislation.” Doubling the capital of the farm land banks, which “were not func— tioning properly before,” until to— day a million dollars a day isloaned through these banks, was the third piece of legislation put into effect to aid the former. Allowing joint stock land banks to increase the rate of interest on bonds but not on loans came in for its share of praise. \ In speaking of these four acts, Mr. .Wallace, stated “these are the four most powerful forces which finally stopped the downward trend in prices and started them on an up- ward movement.” New acts of a constructive char- acter are those regulating the pack ers and stock yards and those regu— lating the grain exchanges. The Secretary is given full power to make a complete investigation of each of these ‘ and make. such “This, " :declared secretary Wallace is the . greatest .Vz‘mthority~ given any govern- forth possible economies in railroad. management. The railroads replied ~ that while the economies were pos— .sible it would cost so much to put them into effect that they could not afford them. In other words, they were too poor to be economical in the way the unions suggested. But in the instance just related there was no necessity of any expenditure of capital to save the cost of 68 hours of labor. And this only one of innumerable instances where money has needlessly been expended in operation. In the maintenance departments of the railroads much the same con- dition prevails. ,Take the matter of fencing. Along one stretch of ten miles of trackthe right of way fences are so poorly maintained that Within the past four days over a dozen valu— able farm animals have been killed by trains after straying on the tracks through the railroad company’s fences. The toll included over six horses, a calf, a dog, and a pure-bred bull which was said to be worth nearly one t h o u s a n d dollars. In some instances law suits resulted because of differences in the valua— ion placed on the animals by the farmers and the railroad company. “What is the company’s policy regarding fencing?" was asked the roadmaster one day after a 200 pound hog had been killed by a train. “They have no policy,” he replied somewhat disgustedly. “But their trains are killing farm animals every month,” it was pointed out. “It is costing them more to pay for cattle and horses than new fencing would times over “I konw it,” he answered ”But they won’t give me the fence so I can do nothing about it.” What the roadmaster said' con— cerning fencing is illuminating. In very many instances subordinate of- ficers recognize defects in the pol- icies of the management but because their superiors will not or possibly cannot give them assistance in cor— (Continued on page 15.) ment agency except in times or war ” The act placing a farmer on the Federal Reserve Board was mention- ed by Mr. Wallace as a forward step. In concluding the Secretary said, “If there is going to be a prosperous nation there must be a symetrical building up of all industries; the nation must organize as a city fire department where all pull together. The day of cheap land is past and agriculture must be put on a sound business basis year after year.” Governor Alex J. Groesbeck laid the first corner stone of the New Library Building, the first of the two stones to be put in place. The college cadet corps escorted the members of the State Board of Ag- riculture, Secretary of Agriculture H. C. Wallace and other dignitaries of the day, to the site and assisted in the ceremonies of the day. L. Whitney Watkins, Chairman of the State Board of Agriculture presided at the Library corner stone laying, ‘while Mrs. Dora H. Stockman, the woman member of the board, was in charge when the stone was Set for the New Home Economics Build- ' ing. The honor of laying the second stone was given to Secretary Wal- 1ace.

Her total production for the year was 35,339.? pounds of milk containing 1,278.58 pounds of butter. During the 365 days there were 178 in which Marion produced over 100 pounds of milk per day. During the test no less than 15 state supervisors oiilciated. This great cow is a beauty, almost all white in color and is royally bred, being sired by Finderne Pride Payne, dalm Kolrain Eleanor Pontiac Korn- dyke.

She made on her previous test as a “4% year old" 28,8518 pounds of milk containing 1,036.3 pounds of butter. When their great Holstein cow, Kolrain Marion Finderne, completed her year’s production record October 26th at Charlevoix, Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Loeb, owners of Loeb Farms, saw the beginning of the realization of their plans for a model farm in Northern Michigan. Early in 1917 Mr. Loeb saw the possibilities that Northern Michigan ofiered the dairy industry. On his trips to Charlevoix he had become familiar with stump land and vast cut over tracts, but his forecasting eye saw beyond these. A tract of 1,600 acres three miles South of Charlevoix, picturesquely located on the shore of Pine Lake, was pur- chased. The idea was to build a model farm, breeding cattle, Bel- gian horses and Duroc-Jersey hogs. day marked ‘ A Days Test 5 3.25 30 3% . 31 2.91 . , 31 2.65 28 2.49 31 2.75. 30 2.97 ‘ 31 8.04 30 2.98 31 2.80 31 ' 2.836 30. 8.104 3.035 Milk 885.0 2675.0 3299.2 3188.7 2934.5 3377.0 3125.8 3127.2 2919.3 . 2971.4 2775.4 2540.8 1990.4 REOORD 0F KOIJRAIN MARION FINDERNE t , , 12.513 ‘ 96.018. 84.585 73.816 ' 92.892 92.836. 95.067 86. 995 83. 199 _ ‘ 78. 716 78.872 60.418 35,8893 1 ,022.86 Butter ' 15. 64 ' ' ' 108. 67 . \1-20. 02‘ 105 73 . 1’ gzdyz Ii? 116. 12 ' 116.05 118. 88 108. 74.- . 104. 00 98:40 ‘ 98.59 75. 52 e Much 01 the land couldn’t. grow corn two feet high. .Fields were cleared of stone, which were used Kolraln Marion Finderne of Loch Farms, in the construction of all buildings," stumps blasted and sod‘ broken.

More Money For Farmer Who Slaughters and Cures His Own Meat NIMALS should be kept off feed 18 to 24 hours before slaughter- ing, but should have plenty of clean water to drink. There are two reasons for this. One is‘ that it empties the intestines, making it easier to clean the carcass and pre— pare casings for sausage. The other is that if the animal is slaughtered when gorged with feed, the small " blood vessels will not drain readily and the meat, consequently, will be darker and more likely to spoil. Keep feed away from your meat animals 18 to 24 hours before kill— ing—but don t forget the water. When ready for the slaughtering, handle the animals carefully. See that they are not whipped, kicked, chased or overheated. The carcass of an animal killed when excited or overheated is difficult to cool and the meat is inclined to sour or decay. Bruise marks will show in the meat and hasten spoiling. Do not over- look the importance of cautious handling it you wish to produce the finest quality of meat. Be prepared before you start kill- ing. See that all necessary supplies are at hand. Above all else, be cer- tain that your killing methods are quick and effective. Half measures are dangerous to the slaughterer and may result in a poor grade of meat. . Take every possible precaution so that first shot or blow will make the animal helpless and the bleeding can be immediate and complete: If a rifle is used, it should be handled by a good marksman. If an ax or sledge is used, care should be takfin T 9 first stunning them is an abominable and unnecessary cruelty. A stun- he‘d animal can be bled perfectly if 'a‘hdled promptly and properly.

The hours at a temperature of more than 32 degrees and less than 40 degrees, Fahrenheit. Pork and Pork Products The hogs most suitable for meat are those from 8 to 12 months old. The meat of hogs less than three months of age is likely to be some- what watery 'and lacking in flavor, while that of old hogs, as a rule, is tough. In the latter case, the dim- ' culty 'can be overcome to some extent ' by fattening the animals heavily, ' preferably on "COI‘Il, slaughtering. How fat should a. hog be when just before ' slaughtered? On this point, experts disagree. It's the old story of Jack Spratt and his wife. Some persons “can eat no fat; ” some can ’t get too much of it. A certain amount of fat is necessary to make meat juicy and give it flavor. An excess of it, how- ever is not desirable. Thu pork in favor is that well— marbled; fat and lean being blended in “the happy .medium' ’—plenty of each and not too much of either. Such meat when properly cured, commands the highest price in any market and pays the producer a maximum profit. The ideal meat hog is the smoo h-r bodied, rather small-boned animal of medium . condition but gaining weight rapidly. Never kill a hog—— or any other animal—that is losing. weight. This rule is observed strictly by all. producers 'who cater to a select market. ' Slaughtering Be ready before you start, be- cause speed is imp tant. Have all necessary impleme ts at .,hand and a plentiful supply- of hot water for scalding. If possible there should be a block and tackle or other device for hoisting the animals so they will bleed freely. In general, it Will‘ be found more” satisfactory to shoot er stun the ani~ mals before sticking. When this is practicable, perform the sticking op- eration as follOws, two ‘men being required. ' : Place the hog sduarely on his' back.

One of the mares had a fistu- la about a year privioug to this transaction. It broke out when the * mare was twoand a half years old and before she had been worked. B I cured this and worked her lightly, selling her to A when three and a half years old. A knew that this mare had had a fistula and asked . B if this trouble would return. B 3 id it would not but there was no written guarantee to this effect. A purchased her as a perfect animal ananve property note for $200 at Q '- \dkper cent payable in one year. Be- fore the year was up a fistula broke out On this mare in the 3 me place as. the {firmer one. A doe not feel thatxthis could have been due to . any neglect on his part as he had given the mare very good Care. He had used the same collar on her that B had worked her in. _ been worked tor a month previous to this and in fact had. been out to pasture the entire week privioug, When the bunch was first noticed a local veterinary was called. A bad fistula. developed and the mare was under the care of the veterinary for nearly four months during which time she required daily treatment from A. She was unable to do any 'work for"’aboutttwo months longer and has been favored during the en- tire summer. When the $200 note for this mare was due, $100 and in- « terest was paid and the balance ex- tended for one year. The remainder 1 wi seen be due. A feels that he is entitled to an adjustment of $100 on,the price of this mare which would mean that the first note would be cancelled. He bases his claim on the facts given above, bi veterinary bill, cost oflkeeping an extra care given mare during sickness and the tact that, the mare is not now a 'salable’animal and was not a perfect, minimal when he purchased her. The .. fistula is apparently cured and she ’seems to be in geod condition but A -would not sell her as a perfect ani- mal for fear this. trouble might ’ ‘ same time return.

For general farm use, on hard) roads or in rough fields, the Model ‘K- 16 one ton GMC provides more pullingpower, more speed, and more economy than othcrhtrucks of the same capacity. Moreover, this “Jim-Dandy” truck is built from truck parts exclusively—no passenger car parts used. Consequently it has the sturdincssand enduring performance that is demanded for hauling over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather. The exclusive features of GMC construction, developed from more than1en years of successful truck building, have provided this truck with more continuous performance and lower operating and maintenance costs. Due to\its advanced design there is not a single wearing part in this truck that cannot be replaced. Such refinements as Removable Cylinder Walls, Removable Valve Lifter Assemblies, Pressure Lubrication, and Instantaneous Governor action all give to this truck the dependability that is so vital in farm trucking. , In every detail of construction the Model K-16 has been built according to the most approved and most advanced practices. Magneto ignition, electric lights and starter with conduit wiring entirely separate from the ignition wiring, radius reds, thermo- syphon cooling, oversizcd brake drums, interchangeable brake rods, complete instrument board, pressure chassis lubrication, cord tires- All these are universally accepted as the best for motor truck use-all these are standard in this GMC. Measured by any stande this one ton truck has no superiors—- and its cost, considering its quality, is much lower.

He caught a last look in Joannes eyes of anxiety and fear. Glancing back out ofthe darkness that swal- lowed him up, he saw her pause for a moment in the lighted doorway, and look in his direction. His heart beat faster. Joyously he laughed under his breath. It was strangely new and pleasing to have some one think of him in that way. advancing t0 meet He had not intended to go openly . into the.lighted avenue, From the moment he had plunged out into the night after Quade, his fighting blood was roused. He had subdued it while with Joanne, but his determin- ation to find Quade and have a set- tlement with him had grown no less. He told himself that he was one of the few men along the line Whom it would be difficult for Quade to harm in other than a physical way. He had no business that could be destroyed by other’s underground methods, and he had no job to lose. Until he had-seen Joanne enter the scoundrel’s red-and-White- striped tent he had never hated a man as he now hated Quade: He had loathed him before, and had evaded him be- cause the sight of him was unpleas- ant; now he wanted to grip his fingers around his thick red throat. He had meant to come up behind Quade’s tent, but changed his mind and walked into the lighted trail be- tween the two rows of tents and shacks, his hands thrust carelessly. into his trousers pockets. The night carnival of the railroad builders was on. Coarse laughter, snatches of song, the click of pool balls and the chink of glasses, mingled with the \thrumming of three or four musical instruments along the lighted way. The phonograph in Quade’s place was going incessantly. Half a doz- en times Aldous paused to greet men whomphe knew. He noted that there was nothing diflerent in their man- ner toward him. i If they had heard of his trouble with Quade, he was certain they would have spoken of it, or at least would have betrayed somesign. For several minutes he stopped to talk with MacVeigh, a young Scotch surveyor.. MacVeigh hated Quade, but he .made no men- tion of him- Purposely he passed Quade’s tent and walked to the end of theas'treet, ’noddinsz-and' looking glow , At the door he bade them, His Aldous decides to go with her to protect partner pt Toto dunno.

He nodded to them. place behind the counter. Barker was Quade’s right-hand man at ,Miette, and there was a, glitter in his rat-like eyes as Aldous leaned over the glass case at the end of the counter and asked for cigars. He fumbled a bit as he picked out a half dollar’s worth from the' box. His eyes met Slim’s. ‘ “Where is Quade?” he asked cas- ually. ’, . Barker shrugged his shoulders. “Busy to—night," he answered. “Want to see him?” “No, , not particularly. Only—I don’t want him to hold a grudge.” Barker rep-laced the box in the case and turned away. After- light- ing a cigar Aldous went out. He was sure that Quade had not return- ed from the river. Was he lying in wait for him near the cabin? The thought sent a sudden thrill through him. In the same breath it was gone. With a half dozen men ready to do'his work, Aldous knew that Quade would not reddeni his own hands or place himself in any con- spicuous risk. During the next hour he visited the pla es where Quade was most frequent y seen. ,He had made up his mind to walk over to the engineer’s camp, whenr'aesmall figure darted after him "out "of" the gloom of the trees. ' It was the Stevens’ boy. “Dad wants to see you down at ,the camp," he whispered excitedly. “He says right away—an’ for no one to see you. one see me. I’ve been waiting for you to come out in the dark." , “Skip, back“ and come," replied Aldous quickly. “Be sure you mind what he says—and don’t let any one see you!" The boy disappeared like a rabbit. Aldous looked back,‘~and ahead, and then dived into the darkness after him. A quarter of an hour he came out on the river close to Stevens’ camp. A little nearer he saw Stevens squat- ted close to a smouldering fire about which he was drying, some clothes. The boy was huddled in a discon~ solate heap near him. Aldous called softly, and Stevens slowly rose and stretched himself. The ipacker ad- vanced to where he (1 himself behind a clum of brush. His first look at the other assured him that‘he ’was alright in using caution. The moon had risen, and the light of it fell in the pecker's face.

"‘Kill me?" ”Yes." .. For a few moments there was a ’silence broken only by their tense breathing. Aldous had found- the packer’s-hand.

Ain’t got a dollar now, so I might as well hit for the.prairies an’ get a job on a ranch. Next winter I guess me’n the kid will trap up the Pars- nip River." / “You’re \wrong—clean wrong,” said Aldous quietly. ’“When‘I saw your outfit. going down among the rocks I had already made up my mind to help you.

Dept. of A to farmers who are inter-es ed in methods of utilizing cull po atoes. 2While they may be sliced and fed raw with dry 'feeds, it is best to cook them before feeding, as heavy feed- ing of raw potatoes will cause scour- ing. Under ordinary farm condi- tions, boiling or steaming is the mast economical method of cooking the potatoes for livestock. Steaming ‘ increases their feeding value about 60 percent. The low protein content of pota- toes makes it advisable to feed them in connection with feeds that are relatively high in protein con- tent. Feeding investigations indi- acte that when potatoes are fed with other feeds to balance the protein . requirements, from 350 to 450 pounds ‘of cookedppota‘toes have a. feeding value equal to about 100 pounds of corn, while from 500 to 0 pounds of raw potatoes are re- quired to equal 100 pounds of corn. Horses—Potatoes are palatable and well suited for use as a horse feed. It is safe to feed as high as 15 pounds a day to work horses. They are equivalent to about one—third their weight in hay. When potaims are fed, a legurme hay is a desirable If a grass hay.‘ such as timothy is fed, the ration ’should contain feeds rich in protein, such‘ as concentrates, legume hay, etc. It is advisable to chop the potatoes to lessen danger of checking. Cattle—~00 ed potatoes may be fed to. cattle a. the rate of from 25 to 30 pounds a day. per 1,000 lbs. liveweight. The allowance should be‘lessened somewhat if they are fed raw, on account of their tendency to produce scouring. A heavy allow- ance of potatoes, however, produces milk and butter of” poor flavor. SCUM FORMS, ON MILK I have a Holsteincow and when I milk her .and let the milk stand a few minutes it forms a thick scum.- at the bottom of pail and when the milk sours it tastes salty. She seems ‘ well in other ways, is in good past- me and gets plenty of water and salt.——F. C., Cathro, Mich. -'——We are at a. loss to ..know just why the silk should thicken up at the bottom of your pail, but as far as the salty taste is. concerned, will say that this is usually caused by \the cow being in too good condition and particularly when cows are fed too heavily on grain. There is also danger when one is keeping a: fami- ly cow and trying to get all the milk possible from her. If you have been feeding the cow quite heavily, ‘ I would suggest that you “cut the grain down and then drench the cow with a pound of Epson salts, wait three days and give her an- other pound and repeat after an- bther three days until three doses of EIpson salts have been given and then gradually brin 11; her feed back to the amount she ought to get. A pound of grain for each four pounds of milk per day is sufficient for a“ Holstein—«O. E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Husbandry, M .A. C.

They breed in cracks and crevices of the house, especially in places Where filth ac- cumulates, They are about one- or settting 119113.. 111119 ointment early in the spring before .the breeding 1116110913,. 1 Gape Worms are reddish looking,‘ apparently dOuble-headed . Worms about one-half of an inch long. They twentieth of an inch long and. are 1<10 injury by getting into the trachea pale gray in color with dark spots on the back. They suck blood from vthb rhén Arterxxfeeding they be- come reddish in calm—hence the name red mites. Sunlight and cleanliness are the Don’t breed mites. «Keep the house so clean that mites ’cannot make a home there. Whitewash the coop in the spring and in the fall. 3,.O3n’ce a month, during the spring and Sum mer, paint the moosts, and nests with kerosene or‘kerosene emulsion. Kerosene, if applied 3 often enough, Will keep mites from breed- ing. Crude oil is better than kero— sene because it lasts longer. Ker- osene emulsion is more. trouble to make, but it pays because an emula sion stays on the job longer and does the work better. 3 Kerosene emulsion is made as fillOWSZ Dissolve one bar /'of laundry soap in a gallon of hot water, and then add two gallons of Stir this With a 'stick, or .churn it with a hand spray until the nude and kerosene are thor- oughly mixed and look like thick cream. To this~mixture add eight gallons of water and stir well. Ap- ply to the coop with a brush or a common hand spray. Various species of lice affect poultry, but the only one is com- mon. The common hen louse is pale yellow darker marks on each side of the body. It is about one-twentieth of an inch long and slightly more slender than the chic‘ken mite. Lice live and reproduce on the body of the hen. They do not suck blood, but live on the scurf of the skin, and the fuff of the feathers. «Spraying .Will not be against lice, for any odor strong enough to reach up through the feathers and kill the lice Will be strong enough to injure the hen; Lice breathe through the pores of the body. Any fine powder or any greasy substance. which will close the pores Will kill them. .You know how hens wallow in the dust. They do this to rid themselves of lice. Have, a box of ashes and road in t in the chicken coop so that hen can go to it at any time. . Dust .insect powder on the hen. No powder on the market is as cheap and effective as one you can make at home. Take three parts of gasoline and one part strong carbol- is acid. Mix these together 'and add enough plaster paris to take up all the moisture. This makes a dry pinkish-brown powder. Dust this on the. hen especially in the feath- ers .under the Wing and in the fluff below the vent. This powder ~-is .1;an as the Cornell Lice Powder. The formula was worked out. by Mr. R. C Lawry, of Pacific, Missouri, When he was a professor. in the Poultry Depart- ment of Cornell University Grease closes the pores as effect- ively as/powder. Equal parts of lard and kerosene can be used. Rub well into the skin at the base of the feathers under the Wing and below the vent. . The remedies mentioned will kill all lice, but Will not kill the nits or eggs. In a week or tWO you Will need, to repeat the process in order tow kill the lice which will, have hatched in the meantime. Blue ointment Will kill both nits and lice. It is a poisonous salve that can be purchased at any“drug store for 30wr‘orx35 cents an-oun‘ce.‘ A small amount about -the size of a pea should be rubbed into the skin of the“: abdomen. just below the vent. Professor Phillips,3 of Purdue Uni- {gr-sits}! 1says that one application of d. keep , $30, 01.19, 000 to ~ th 3163' ‘ boost Michigan baby in color with more or less» effective“ . tion or Wihdpipe of chickens in great numbers that the chickens cannot breathe. They never kill old- hens, but young chickens often die from this cause. " It is fairly easy to get rid of gape Worm if you know their life history. They live in the soil. Their eggs are eaten by chickens or angle worms. In either case the eggs hatch and the young gape woms Work their way into the trachea. It is much easier to prevent gape Worms than to get rid of .them after the soil once becomes infest-‘ ed. Young chicks should never be raised in the same place year after year. Change location of their (mops each spring. If you do this and use lime and ashes on the ground Where the chickens run, there will be little danger of gape worms getting a start. If the land becomes badly infest-. ed, itshould be plowed and put out to crops fOr a year or two. MEETING OF MICHIGAN BABE CHICK ASSOCIATION ' LITTLE over a year ,ago the leading hatcherymen of Michi- gan joined together in an asso- ciation to be known as the Michi— gan Baby Chick Association. ’ The purpose of the association is to chicks and to co—operate With each other. On Sept. ”29th at Lakewood Farm, Hol— land, Mich” they held a meeting.and the work done in the past year was gone over. All members were great- ly surprised and highly pleased at the rapid progress they had made in twelve months. At this meeting the members adopted a new constitution and Code of ethics. In article 5 of their new constitution they have a code of ethics. In this code they pledge their earnest co-operation with and protection of the public< through: Honest, truthful advertising; hon- est, upright business methods; and _ honest production and sale of chicks as represented. In taking such a step the association has done much to place the baby chick business in this state on a higher plane and they will profit much by it. In order to become 'a member of the association 3. hatcheryman or commercial egg man must cull the flocks he hatches his eggs from. After this culling is done he notifies the association who has the Exten- sion Department of the M. A. 0. ap- prove and rate his flocks. If the M. A. 0'. man approve the flock then the association issues him a certifi- cate of certification and by paying the membership dues of $10 he-be- comes a member of the association.

Michigan is greatly concerned over this order which if carried out to the letter will mean a state-wide poverty of cars to move the bumper potato crop and'the sugar beet crop. Al- ready potatoes are congesting the 10- cal markets for lack of cars, and state authorities are beseeching the railroads to rescind or amend their orders, so. that Michigan may have enough left to move her crops. It is said that Minnesota, also a large potato state, has received three times as many cars as Michigan, which if true, gives this state real grounds for complaint. Prices on all important farm pro- ducts have an upward trend, with the exception of potatoes. lmpov— erished as she is Europe continues to buy freely of our grain and many dealers look for sky—rocketing prices before the next harvest. \VHEAT Wheat prices march steadily up-- ward with only an occasional break. The market news is mostly of a bull- ish nature. thousand bushels of wheat and rye every day. 1 The great western crop is being held back because of the car shortage and quite frequently a scarcity of visible grain develops on the eastern markets. Breaks in the market are principally caused by profit-taking. Those who bought wheat at around $1 a bushel see no reason for waiting for higher prices when they can make 15 or 20 per cent on their investments. Few be- lieve that the bull movement in wheat has run its course, and it is freely predicted now that $1.50 wheat is only a few weeks away. As seems usually to be the case, only a comparatively small percent- age of the actual producers of wheat will receive the benefit of the higher prices. The bear movement in late July and August was well engineer— ed and frightened a lot of farmers into. disposing of their grain. It is now estimated that over 50 per cent of the 1922 crop has left the farm- ers’ hands and a good deal of that is in the hands of the speculators who are in a position to make huge profits on their purchases.

There has not been much desire to press the selling side, while new buyers were discouraged by the falling off in the demand for cash corn. In general buyers are confining their purchases to grain already on the market and ready for instant deliv- ery. Receipts have not been heavy as country offerings continue to be small due to the car shortage. The quality of the new crop is reported to be fine, although the amount is «much less than at the beginning of the 1921 season.

The tone of the market is steady although trading is limited. Receipts from the country continue to be restricted by shortage of cars, but in most cases they are sufficient to take care of local demand. Domestic shipping demand is lighter than one week ago.

The closing days of last week saw the grain unchanged in some cases but prices at the close of the week were nearly four cents higher at Detroit than the close of the week previous. Demand is good for this grain, especially from the ‘_ seaboard, and we look ‘for consid- erable higher prices withih the next ninety days. Prices Detroit—Cash, No. 2, 900.

Selling by'farmers has come to a. virtual stand-still, the majority of those who are. obliged to sell as- soon as potatoes are dug having al- ready done so. Mild weather has added to the bearishness or the big crop. We do not see how potato prices can go much lower, because farmers will simply not sell at pre- vailing prices. ‘We anticipate that as men as cold weather sets in the market will liven up‘ a bit. The par shortage is a factor that must be reckoned with. Should mid- winter find the western potato sec- f7 fifi THE WEATHER .FoR NEXT WEEK As forecasted by W. T.
