rly Marketmg to End Peak Load Problem

:0 F Brodhrte, President of American Farm Bureau Federation, Speaking to Chamber of Commerce
of U. S. Tells Farmers’ Plan

msystem of ctr-operative

marketing will go far towards
{solving the railroad problem in
Speaking before the eleventh an-
cal: meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States in
Noi York on May 10, 0. E. Brad-
rote. President of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, declared that the
arm had found his own solution
to the peak load Question in trans-

portntion.

N ‘A‘ccording to President Bradfute
’e farmers’ new system of co-oper-

ntive marketing whereby the prod-

ucts of the farm are moved into
oints of cbnsumption in an orderly

manner Will give the railroads an

, opportunity to move the great staple

‘ farm crops gradually from the farms
to the distributiOn centers and thus
.avoid the peak loads and the attend-
«ant car shortage problem which
break the railroads’ back.
~ ,Mr. Bradfutechallenged the busi-
4n‘m men and railroad executives to
, join hands with the farmer in help-
in: him perfect a cooperative mar-
My; system providing for the star»
agoand financing of farm products
' on the farms. About onebtwelfth of
* those farm products properly stored
'; and adequately financed on the farms
can be moved into points of con—
m n each month.
* r. Bradiute made it plain that

ductions in railroad freight rates “as
an absolute necessity to the come-
back of agriculture and the ultimate

' _pmpority of both city and country. "

President Bradfute’ s address is as
follows:

"What do all these people do for

a living? I come out of the Grand
~ Central station or walk down LaSalle
I see the throngs

or folks racing hither and you, all

intent on something or other Per-

haps it is natural for a plain farmer
; ’ from the open country to wonder
-.i when sci down in the midst of a
. great city: ‘What do all these people

do for a living?’ I have never ceased
to marvel‘at' this. A careful analysis
of his problem leads one to observe
that all these talks in the crowded
metropolitan centers are engaged in
getting three things: food, clothing
and pleasure. In the third category,
pleasure, I classify the creature com-
~ forts of home, luxury, amusement,
etc. Now Solomon, the wisest man
of all time, abjured us, with all our
getting to get understanding, and I

’ am not so sure that the denizens of
,. the crowded. market place always

‘ follow that advice.

All Are Interested
_ f 9‘] would have this great ‘body
which springs directly from the cities
and town oi America to understand,
“however, that two of these three
driving incentives of metropolitan ct-
fort originate on the farm. Food
and clothing in the raw state rank
among the staple products of our
farms. Happily, then, we are all
city men and country men concerned
-' about the same thing basically. Your
city man is working with what the
farm man originated.

“In order to get into the channel _

of profitable one it is, of course, neo-
Lescary to focus the rodncts of the

strain the metr'opo itan centers of
distribution. Out of this great fune-

unpertation now confronting us its
”biggest question mark is our

SCAR EDWIN BRADFU’I'E, president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, is one of America’s best-known and most
progressive farmers. He lives on the old home farm near
Xenia, Ohio, in Greene County where his grandfather was one of

thoearly settlers.

Mr. Bradfute has served his second term as vice-president of the

we use to carry our products from
the place, of their youth toward the
place of their use. The farmer’s in-
terest in transportation does not
stop until his products have been
landed safely at the point of alti-
Thcretoro, our
philosophy of transportation includes:
careful thinking about the cow path,
the field road, the highway, the rail-
road, rivers, lakes, canals and the
ocean paths. The American former
has a transcending interest in the
whole transport problem.
sec if we can picture it in a few
simple but comparative figures.
The Transportation Problem
immense new volume of
wealth is created on the farms of
America every year, running into a.
gigantic business total of from 12 to
14 billions of dollars. Of our farm
products about 10 billion dollars
worth are transported of our farms
each year. This. is our direct trans—
portation problem. '

“Consider railroad transportation
alone: The gross freight bill of the
nation is around four billion dollars
per year. Of this freight bill the
farmers pay one-half directly. Add
to this the farmer’s freight bill for
horse, and wagon, and harness, high-
way costs, motor transport, carriage

by water, etc" and agriculture pays.

more than four billion dollars every
year to get the products of this basic
industry moved into centers of con-1
sumption.

“It may combo you to know that
the cost of transportation is one-
third of the farmer’s production bill.
The farmer comprises loss than forty
per cent of the population but pays

Let us .

more than fifty per cent of the na-
tion’s transportation costs.

“It must not be forgotten also that
the farmer pays freight both ways.
On the things which he sells a freight
rate is deducted from the price which
it brings. On the things which he
buys a freight rate is added to the
cost f. o. b. cars. All this is part
of the farmer’s direct interest in
transportation.

London Fixes Wheat Price

“The man on land has another pri-
mary interest in the transportation
problem which is not given the atten-
tion which it deserves by our states-
men and economists. The price of
wheat in Kansas is fixed by the price
of wheat in Liverpool. Under our
present marketing system .1 demand
for surplus farm products determines
the price of the whole» crop. Not only
is that Kansas wheat farmer forced
to take a world price for the small
portion of his crop which goes to
Liverpool, but that selfsame Liver-
pool price determines the returns
from his entire wheat field, even
though the grain is all milled in
Kansas.

“The same thing is true of live-

stock. When I sell a fat Aberdeen— .

Angus bullock to be killed by the
local butcher in Xenia, Ohio, he pays
me the prices ruling at Pittsburgh,
or Buffalo, or Baltimore, or New
York City minus the freight rates
from those cities to my home town.
Why is the farmer so anxious for re-
duction in freight rates? Because
the transportation bill effects the re-
turns from his whole crop, not only
his surplus.

DR. DAVID FRIDAY, VICTIM

OF UNWARRANTED

POLITICAL ATTACK, SAYS PRESENT TURMOIL
WILL CLARIFY AGRICULTURAL ATMOS-

PHERE ‘ IN

MICHIGAN

DURING the past week, Michigan Agricultural College,
through its president, David Friday, was subjected to
one of the most disgraceful and unwarranted attacks ever
staged in Michigan. During the absence of Dr. Friday on
a speaking tour of the east, statements were made to the
daily press which not only sought to discredit his ability
and loyalty, but to besmirch his character.

The attack was so underhanded and indefensible that
the Governor has taken a hand' 1n the matter and has prom-
iced to fittingly punish the politicians who were guilty of
perpetrating the slander and gossiping it to the always-
ready-for-sensation daily press.

In reply to a request for a statement to his 70, 000 real
farmer friends, who read The Business Farmer, Dr. Friday

telegraphsas follows:

Because of the wise and courageous stand taken by
"Governor Groabeck, the Michigan Agricultural College
. will shortly be m a position to serve the farmers of Michi-

gan as me:- before.

present turmoil is long overdue

and will do much to clarify the agricultural atmosphere
of the atom—David Friday, President, Michigan Agricult-

musicales:-

0111‘ wt on the subject will be found“ 111 the Editor-

Iveof

this me.

 

 

experts and economists and statisb g
ticians who deal with the overwhelm- ,
ing problems of national transports-
tion. They talk always in terms of
bottle necks and peak loads. I think
it is fair to say that they really have
no solution. I think it is fair to say
that they have no formula for widen-
ing the neck of the bottle or for re-

. ducing the peak loads at harvest

time. To these vexing technical prob—
lems I believe that the American
farmer himself has found the answer.

Orderly Marketing the Answer
The answer lies in orderly marketing
of our farm products rather than in
the usual seasonal glutting of the
distribution centers. Since the farm-
er has found his voice and has
learned how to use it in a national
way our agricultural industry has
been the recipient of some very pro-
gressive and helpful legislation. We
now have on the statute books a law
permitting the farmer to unite to
market his product collectively for
the best interest f0 both producer ,
and consumer. Some twenty states
within the last two years have like—
wiSe assessed laws permitting us to
undertake a certain definite type of
cooperative merchandising which the
American farmer has worked out to
meet his own needs. In the closing
days of the last Congress organized
agriculture secured an approved
warehousing act as well as legisla-
tion providing for a new type of
credit for the farmer. When this is
finally worked out the farmer will be
able to store his crops in his own
cribs, and bins, and root cellars, and
hay mows which will be designated
as approved warehouses. It is not at
all beyond the range of possibility
that the products of the farm stored
in these approved warehouses on the
farm may become the basis of sound
commodity financing. Surely there
is no better security for a loan than
the food of the nation. We are not
very wise if we cannot perfect a sys-
tem whereby the farmer may hold in
the storehouse of his own farm the
crops which he raises and move them
into channels of consumption in an
orderly and regular manner. Under
some such a system as this I can
vision that one—twelfth of our farm
product might move oil? the farms
into the conduits of transportation
each month rather than pouring the
whole thing onto the market within
a few days or a few weeks after har-
vest time. I would have you realize
that these great staple food roducts
are stored now in a manner accept-
able to the financial system of the
country. The trouble is they are
stored in cities instead of on the
farms where they originated.

“Eventually the adoption of a
farmer’s cooperative marketing pro-
gram b-y America will do away with
the peak load in farm products. We
shall substitute for dumping all the
products of our fields and pastures
onto the market at one fell swoop
when we have to have the money,a
new and improved system of gradual
orderly merchandising.

“I challengeohere and now the
business men of America, and par-
ticularly the leadersin the transpor- '
tation world, to join hands with the
American farmer in helping him .
Work out his co—operative marketing
program for the good and selfish
reason that this will do a great deal.
towards solving the transportation
problem.

“-‘I cannot close this discussion and
feel that I had performed my whole _ ~ .;

duty unless I state frankly to you;
that the American farmer regards on ~

A New Solution to the Producer to Consumer Problem that 15 Based on the Oldest Form of "
Commerce; the Barter and Exchange Plan Practiced 1n Bible Days ' '

ELLING directly from the pro-

, ducer to the consumer, with the

‘ elimination of all middlemen

ndzmiddlemen’s profits, the McLean

wunty. producer’s market, Bloom:

gton, Illinois, recently opened, is

eadily growing in popularity and
tronage.

, .On the big days the sales aggre-
gets as high as $1,500, and rarely
drop below $1, 200. The farmer
brings in his produce and places it
in one of the 45 stalls, which rented
to him for the nominal rate of $1
per day. Many sell out in a few
heurs, but they have the use of the
stall and market building for the en—
tire day if they desire it...

Practically everything raised up-
‘on'the farm is sold. Pork in its
various forms, including pork cuts
1 and sausages; eggs, poultry, butter,
~ cottage cheese, milk, cream, all
kinds of vegetables, grain, and fruits
:11: season, together with pastry,
" bread, preserves, jellies, canned
fruit and, in fact, an endless variety
~of good things having a strong ap-
peal to the urban shopper.

,The market is opened at 9:30 a.

m. and, no trading is permitted prior

~to that time. There are usually from
100 to 200 patrons in waiting each
morning for the doors to open.

No objection to the market has
been filed by the city merchants.
Eyery booth rented usually reports
receipts ranging from $15 to $100.
A large proportion of this money is
taken over to the dry goods, cloth~
ing, millinery and shoe stores and
expended for needed articles.

The business men have found that
a goodly proportion of the money
that is taken ill at the farmers’
markets soon afterwards is expend—
ed with the established firms. The
market has had the result of getting .
the country and city people better
acquainted.

Every booth renter signs an agree-
ment to be responsible for the pur—
. ity and cleanliness of the produce he
'm-arkets.

Supervised by County Agent

He must also deposit the sum of
$5 to the farm adviser. Should there
“be any complaint from a patron and
the booth renter fails to settle, the
farm adviser conducts an investiga-
tion. If the latter is satisfied that
the customer has a legitimate com-
p aint, he is reimbursed out of the
‘d posit fund for the sum he claims.
.1 So far there has not been a single
.03. e where such action was neces-
‘sa , a remarkable testimonial to
th harmonious trading and the
good feeling that exists between the
farmers and their customers. In
,, fact, the farm bureau seeks to instill
" nto the producer an element of
ride in the market which will have
a tendency to make it a place where
the buyers will become permanent
customers.

It has developed that many of the

 

 

LOOMINGTON, Illinois, is a city of 28,725 inhabitants. In,

Michigan there are 14 cities the size of Bloomington'. or larger. '

Every year Michigan becomes more of on industrial state,

- which means that the proportion of people who live in cities is in-

creasing while the population” on our farms ' is decreasing. The

. Business Farmer agrees with Dr. Friday, that this is nothing for

the ‘i'armers of Michigan and the nearby states to cry about. It
must mean higher prices and more profit for the men who stay on
farms.

The farms adjacent to the growing cities and large towns in
Michigan must supply a larger proportion of the food which these
cities consume. The farmer within a fifty mile radius of any given
market Call, with good roads and modern motor truck, deliver the
products of his farm direct to the consumer at a real profit.

TOO MUCH FOOD IS BEING SHIPPED INTO MICHIGAN

which ought to be supplied from the farms of this state. Our
fal mers must awaken to the new conditions which the past decade
has brought. They are fools who raise wheat in competition with
the wheat-growers of Argentine and. the Ukraine. Less staples and
more specialties will be grown in Michigan by the business farmers.

Here then is the story of a well run farmers’ market in a city of
28, 725 population. It solves the producer to consumer problem in
the oldest and yet the most successful way yet discovered. City
people like to buy direct from the farmer. Bloomington and other
cities have proven that a lower price is less of a consideration, than
that the produce be! sold clean, fresh and attractive.

The Business Farmer stands ready to back the efforts to build a.
Farmers’ Market in any town or city in Michigan or the nearby
states, which has a population of two thousand or more. In vil-
lages of lesser size, we advise house to house selling or a Saturday
morning market in a given location direct from the wagon.

If you know of a city which should have, but does not have a
Farmer Market tell us about it and we will t1 y to secure the co-
operation of the local newspaper to encourage such a project.—
The Editor.

Although you might not suspect it, thls is a farmers stall in the Farmers Market at Blooming-

farmers who sold directly to the- city .

residents at the latters’ homes new '_
go to the market and their old pat-
rons come to them. The prices at
the market compare favorably wits
those at the established stores, but
the patrons of the farmers“ ‘know-.
that the stock is brought directly'
from the far the day that it is cf-' ,
fered for sa e and there are never
any stale articles on hand.

That the market has been a suc--
cess to the farmer aswell as the
consumer is shown in the fact that.

,_ practically every producer who rent-

ed the stall on the opening day has-
been a permanent renter.,

The farmers’ market seems to be
filling a business niche that has long
been empty and which is badly need-
ed. Every booth renter is required
to subscribe to a code of rules that
promotes neatness and cleanliness
and which are publicly posted so
that customers can persue them.
They have an excellent effect.

Here Are the Rules

“It is hard to keep hands clean,
but it will help. ,

“Also the finger nails.

‘TWash basin in the basement.

“Sweep our your booth when-
through.

“We don’t believe that you will
have time to chew or smoke.

“Don’t wear your whiskers too
long or your hat at all.

“A white apron, coat or cap makes
a wonderful improvement.

“The state pure food inspector re—
quests that you do not keep blankets
or wearing apparel in your booth.
Plenty of hooks in the basement.

“Gumme-d labels must be placed»
upon all dairy products and covered
containers.

“All eggs must be candled before
placed upon the market. Candle '
them at home. It will save time.

“A garbage can will be found up—
on the floor in which to place all
waste.”

Claimed a Model Enterprise

Since the market was started its
fame has spread and the farm advis-
er is in receipt of ”frequent requests
for information in order that ar~
rangements can be made to take
similar action. One request came
from Phoenix, Ariz., and another‘
from Fitchburg, Mass, indicating
110w much attention has been at-
tracted to it. ‘

The managers of the McLean
county market believe that they

have a model and one of the finest

of the kind in the United States. The
ground floor of the market building
is utilized for the booths, while the
upper floor contains the farm bureau
offices and an assembly room for
committee or public meetings. It
is essentially a farmers’ proposition.

Farmer and Labor Mix Like Oil and Water, Says Roger W. Babson

HE farmers are the backbone of
our prosperity. This does not
mean that the farmer makes

prosperity any more than that a
backbone makes a human being.
There must be arms and legs that
manufacture; there must be arter-
ies, and a circulatory system that
transports and distributes; and most
of all there must be a brain that di-
rects all parts of the body and causes
each to help and supplement the oth-
ers. It is the same with our nation.
Statistics clearly show that to have
a healthy country we must develOp
all sections, classes and industries

’ ether. It does not do a man any

ad to have merely a fine big back—

hone if his arteries are hardening or
, his arms and legs are becoming

W alized. Anything that develops

r-t of the body at the expense

liar is detrimental rather

' ‘ One bad tooth may

nd a little gallstone has

backbone is necessary for a healthy
man and a healthy nation, and the
farmers are the backbone of Amer—
lea.
Oil and \Vater in Politics

Therefore I repeat my first state-
ment: The farmers are the back-
bone of our prosperity. They keep
it erect. The farms are the back—
logs of our fires. They keep them
from going out. The farms are the
backstops of our great national
game of business. They prevent us
from going to pieces when threaten—
ed with defeat. The safety of our

democracy is absolutely proportional
to the number of prosperous farm-
ers that we have. No man was ever
known to hang the red flag of anar—
chy over his own hearthstone. His-
tory shows that the decline of na-
tions has begun when the number of

'its landowners began to decrease.

The best insurance against Bolshev-
ism is more successful farm owners
and home owners. Such owuers,
however, must be successful. It does
no good to have a man a landowner
if he is heavily mortgaged and in
constant fear of being wiped out.

 

 

OGER W. BABSON, as you know, is one of America’s greatest

economists.

His article, a part of which is reprinted here,

by special permission of the “Saturday Evening Post, ” in
which it appeared, is especially interesting to the farmers of Mich-
igan, because of the repeated attempts to mix Labor and Farmer
in a political movement. It may also confirm your suspicions re-
__ garding a certain type of so-called “friends of the farmer, ” who
shout loud in political halls what they are doing for the farmer.
Mr. Babson says the farmers are just getting over another “eco-
nomic disease,” which comes regularly every thirty years and takes
about four years to run its course.

 

 

There must be contentment and a.
feeling of. security. Hence the safe-
ty of the nation is not proportional
to the number of farmers, but rather
to the number of successful farmers,
It may be as dangerous to have too
many farmers as to have too few—
if the country now has all it can
profitably Wsupport

The farmer is the backbone of the

, nation because he is naturally a con-

servative. Of course he goes off at
a tangent once in thirty years. Every
new generation of farmers has to
have the economic , diseases, the
same as most children have measles,
chickenpox and mumps. The last,
generation had its dose in 1893 to
1897; the present generation is hav—
ing its now. Just about thirty years
apart, are “they not? Whether or

' not it will take this generation about

four years to get the poison out pf.
its system only the future can tell. ._,

.THE PERFECT MOTOR_OiL

Sharp Economy

ANY farmers do not realize the tremendous waste due to wrong
lubrication. They no not charge against the motor oil such mat-
ters as scored cylinders — overheating —- too much carbon — too

'much exhaust smoke—too high consumption of gas.

Yet the right grade of Polarine —indicated in the chart frequently corrects
all these troubles. P'olarine means economy in operation, as well as added
flexibility and power.

The reason why Polarine is good, begins with fundamentals. Polarine is
made from selected crudes—high in lubricating value. Polarine is manu-
factured in modern refineries. It is made according to the findings of the
world’s leading petroleum chemists in cooperation with the designers of
the very tractors for which the oil is intended.

CHANGING 111an

By JOHN T. BARTLETT

A MILK FOOD DRINK

T one time in our national exist-
ance, the village milk man
drove his cow to the centre of
the town, beneath a friendly tree,
and there served his customers, who
came to him with buckets. They
saw him milk and knew just what
they got. It was milk distribution
made as simple as the times knew
how to make it. In some foreign
countries today, goat milkmen drive

their nannies from door to door.

The milk distribution system has
been a. longtime changing—and the
end is not yet. Recently, a Denver
milk distributing organisation has
eatablished a service for customers
which should increase the consump-
tion of milk in a. strategic direction.

Of late years” the soda fountain
has consumed greatly increasing
quantities of dairy products. The
soda fountain is a habit, a passion,
or a necessity to millions. One of
the soda fountain drinks just intro-
duced in the west makes a delect-

 

able concoction in combination with ~

milk. A little of the new prepara-
tion, and quite a little milk, and the
consumer gets something pretty line.

What the enterprising milk dis-
tributors did was to make an ar-
rangement with the manufacturers
of the preparation whereby the dis—
tributor could bottle it with milk,
and sell it to customers along with
milk. The bottled product costs
only about two cents a quart more
than ordinary whole milk. The
dairy organization spent large sums
telling Denver consumers what they
could now obtain, and introducted
the new service. Great quantities of
the bottled milk drink are being
sold in this manner.

Families drink it ice cold, or
steaming hot, as they prefer._Child—
ren like it, and it has proved the
solution of the milk problem in the
case of many a child who refused
whole milk. The child likes the
rosey color of the new drink, and its
distinctive flavor.

This means one more good way

for increasing milk consumption.

By the way, did you know that
milk is transported these days in
great tank auto trucks!

' A HIGHER RETAIL PRICE LEVEL

LL the elements entering into
distribution cost soared during
the World War period.

Cost of container.

Freight rates.

Wages of city workers engaged in
physical distribution.

And since all businesses make
gross profit a pacentage of cost
price, all margins increased. A 50
per cent mark up on $1 is 50c—onc
$1 50 is 76c. Unit profits went up.

FARMER AND LABOR Mix LIKE

(Continued from Page 4)

things from an employer’s point of
view. It is well enough for pink
professors to write about Farmer-
Labor parties; but it would just as
practical to expect an Oil-and—Wat-
er party. A man will love a life-
preserver when he is in distress ov-
erboard; but he quickly loses his in—
terest in the thing after he gets be“?
on dry land. He does not think
enough of it to carry it home as a
souvenir, even though it saved his
life- The farmers are glad to use
labor to help them put through some
pet scheme; but if labor thinks it
can depend upon the farmers’ vote
to help increase wages and reduce
working hours, labor will be most
terribly mistaken.

During the war I assisted Secre-

' tary of Labor Wilson in the import-

ant work of increasing predation.
With wheat pegged at $2.60 a bush-
el the farmers were, of course, tre-
mendously interested in our efforts.
The farmers then through the De-
partment of Labor was doing a. fine
work and they were very sympathet-
ic with our efforts. Some even sug-
gested that We should take over the
Department of Agriculture because
labor and agriculture were working
for the same end. After ‘the 'war
was over, however, and the price of
wheat went down with a bang, they
quickly forgot the Department of
Labor. Although during the war
hardly a week went by when we
were not Visited by a complimentary
farmer delegatiOn, I doubt if one
such farmer delegation has been
near the department since the Arm-
istice was signed. They were then
no longer interested in increasing
production. Reduced wages was
what the farmers wanted in 1919
Now, of course, it Was
not the function of the Department
of Labor to work for reduced wages.

“The department was established
for improving the welfare of the
wage earners," We told the Grange
ofi‘icials, “hence We do not feel justi-
fied in inaugurating any , campaign
to lower wages, even for farm labor.
Let wages take their natural course.
They will anyway." ,

“Very well," replied the farmers.
“We thought you were our friends,
but we see you are not... Guess we
had better stick to the Department
of Agriculture, for when we farmers
flirt with labor we are playing with
fire and are likely to get out fingers
burned. "

«We-hear them saying, “Lord, why

. There the boy stands in the very
presence of the multitude challeng-
ifigthe reputed power of Christ thru
the disciples. There is the father,
plodding andimportuning, but his
’upectancy gives way to hopelessness
as disappointment in not seeing

W and Pharisees standing by said, "I

at and superficial religionists today
who shriek, “Didn’t I tell you so"
" when the on-going movements of the
church apparently talk-But may I
{.parenthesize that all Godly enter-
W go forward. Growth and pro—
use: is the normof life. And I’d
rather be an enthusiast in the van
, than a sullen follower in the rear.—
But 0, how those baffled disciples,
in the midst of that on looking mul-
7 titude', longed for the Master to

' come down from the mountain! And
‘W he came , he spoke, and“ the demon
went out and the boy was cured
from that very hour. The religion

use, “Tell me iaboututhat farmer.”

"He is one of our own boys,” said
he, “and had only such schooling as
our own country, school provided.
But the other day I received a letter
from an agricultural college asking
me to secure him for their experi-
ment farm." “But why was he such
a success?” "Well, he had faith in
his job and he mixed plenty of hard
work with it,” said he. Verity, faith
chloroforms all fear in the soul,
gives it courage and daring, and fits
it for great'and loving deeds.-

So, it is not a new church, nor a
new system of government or church
policy, nor organization as helpful
as this is, but an implicit faith in a
conquering Christ and an unwearied

' confidence in the power of the Gos-

pel to regenerate that guarantees
victory. And here some of us will
have to seek our prayer closets and
have it out with the devil before we
can feel this healing power.

But what will_no little faith do?

It will regenerate the churches. And
they need it. It will set the altar
fires going in their sanctuaries. My
and your church owes to the com-
munity th most helpful kind of
spiritual worship. Every devot-
ional period should be warmed with
the fire and radiation of Pentecostal
hearts; hearts so wrought up in
faith as to convince every saint and

‘sinner of the Bethe] nature of the

place. But many of us are spiritual

illusions. We present to others a

deceptiVe appearance. '
And why isn’t the average church

«(gamma «thea'postles to set the
pace for him. He is too smugly con-
tent with his own church and soci-
ety; his own gains and comforts. He
is busy satisfying the personal equa-»
tion while vast surges of lost men go
sweeping by him. We sing, “Make
me a blessing today," with not
encugh intelligent faith to know
what that means. May I suggest it
is the way of the bleeding heart, for
only so did our Lord qualify to bless
us. “When Zion travaileth she shall
bring forth}?

No, the Lord has not changed.
But many modern disciples have.
Why should we pride ourselves in a
Gospel faith when our neighbor does
not know of it? Why, he scarcely
get settled before the grocer, butch-
er, and politician found him, and
you have not found him in these
years. Everywhere on the farms and
streets, in the stores and markets,
are people famishing for-the bread
of life. Though you have but a few
loaves and fishes, give and the Mast-
er will bless wonderously.

But how shall vital faith he sus-
tained? By constancy in prayer
and devotion. “This kind goeth
not out but by prayer and
fasting.” The disciples, in their
busy rounds failed to keep up the
devotional life and consequently lost
confidence and power.
same spiritual paralysis come over
us? In the outwardness and activ-
ities of the Christian life, the fric—
tions and distractions of the world
are so liable to tear us loose from
the fellowship of Christ and power.
A good, grandfather Martin oft re-
tired to a secluded spot on the rear

if one would work for him; “The sf-;
factual, fervent prayer of a rights .
eous man availeth much.” _

And fasting.‘fThe purpose of self-
denial must be strongly set in our;
lives. ,We qualify to enter the King-
dom through . cutting on hand and
foot, said Jesus. But in likeman-
ner, we qualify for service and pow-
er in the Kingdom through continu-
ed self—denial. Mark those who are
given over to self indulgence and
there follows moral weakness and
inefficiency. We must enter the
gymnasium of self—control and self
limitition to have our lives disciplin-
ed for strength and power.

Vital, growing faith will give us-
power. After the San Francisco
earth—quake disaster, 9. Chicago daily
came out with a cartoon on its front
page, in which lay a powerful sug-
gestion. The center of the picture
showed a devastated city filled with
grief—stricken, hungry people, shelt-
ered in tents and being fed on char-
ity. At one side, standing on an .
eminence which overlooked this
ruin, stood a man. He was dressed
in the clothes of the laborer. His
line of vision is centered in a great
cloud of smoke which overhung the
ruins. In the center of this cloud
he sees the restored San Francisco,
beautiful and prosperous. And with
the tools for the task, he descends in
faith and courage to reconstruct the
city of his vision.

If we stand with Christ on the
Transfiguration mount, b e c o m e
steeped in that holy communion, and
get the Master’s vision of a sin-curs-
ed humanity, it is then that we catch
his spirit and descend with him in
power to bless the world through a
working, challenging faith.

There are those who
my we need not expect such fullness

early church with her phenominal
growth and her apostolic teachers
who were direct acquaintances of

We have the same sin-cleansing
T Gospel. -Man-’s physical needs are
' ‘ supplied thru‘ the same physical
laws as then; and so his Splrlt-
uni needs. Human spirits abide
and they must be fed upon the love
of’God no matter what may be the
, superficial life of man; his race, oc-
cupation, education: or position. The
atoning Gospel yet addresses itself
tothe needs of the heart and cures.
You must believe this or you are

N , but a stumbling-block in the on—go—

t We have the same spirit abiding,
wooing, and cemforting. _He came

done. The same spirit that tore
L away a Saul from the legalism of
the Pharisees and sent him out a
pulsating apostle to the gentiles, is
L the spirit of the Wesleys, the Moodys
and the Judsons. This is the same
spirit that prompts the hard-working
farmer to go about his labor in the
enthusiasm of Christian purpose.
. Perspiring and blackened by the
dirt of his shop, Elihu Burrit, the
learned blacksmith, sang away with
the music of hammer and anvil. Said
one 'to him, “Why are you so hap-

(Continued from May 12th issue)
HEIR eyes met steadily.

“If you are, Johnny,” went on

MacDonald in a low voice, “I’d
take her with me. An’ if you ain’t, I’d
leave these mount’ins to-night an'
never look in her sweet face again as
long as I lived.” ,

“You’d take her along?" demand
ed Aldous eagerly. '

“I would. I've been thinkin' it ov-
er to-night. An’ something seemed
to tell mewe mustn’t dare leave her“
here alone. There’s just two things
to do, Johnny. You’ve got to stay
with her an’ let me go on alone or—'—
you’ve got to take her.”

Slowly Aldous shook his head. He
looked at his watch. It was a little
after ten.

“If I could make myself believe
that she w0uld not be safe here—I
would take her,” he said. “But I
can’t quite make up my mind to
that, Mac. She will be in good
hands with the Blacktons. I will
warn Paul. Joanne is determined
to go, and I know she will think it
pretty indecent to be told emphotic-
ally that she can’t go. But I’ve got
to do it. I‘can’t see——”

A break in the stillness of the
night stopped him with the sudden-
ness of a bullet in his brain. It was
a scream—a woman’s scream, and
there followed it shriek after shriek,
until the black forest trembled with
fear and agony of the cries, and John
Aldous stood as if strippe of power
to move or act. Donald MacDonald
roused him into life. With a roar
in his. beard, he sprang forth into
the darkness. And John Aldous

  

followed, a hot sweat of fear in his .

blood Where a moment before had
been only a chill of wonder and hor-
ror. For in Donald’s savage beast-
like cry‘he had caught Joanne’s
name, and an answering cry broke
from his own lips as he followed the
great gaunt form that was tearing
with the madness of a. wounded bear
ahead of him through the night.
CHAPTER XXII

OT until they had rushed up out

of the coulee and had reached

the pathlike trail did the
screaming cease. For barely an in-
stant MacDonald paused, and then
ran on with a speed that taxed Ald-
ous to keep up. When they came
to the little open amphitheatre in
the forest MacDonald haulted again.
Their hearts were thumping "like
hammers, and the old mountaineer’s
voice came huskey and choking
when he spoke.

“It wasn't far—from here!" he
panted.

Scarcely had he uttered the words
when he sped on again. Three min-
utes later they came to where the
trail crossed the edge of a small
rock—cluttered meadow, and with a
sudden spurt Aldous darted ahead of
.MacDonald into this opening, where
he saw two figures in the moonlight.
Half a dozen feet from them he stop-
ped with a cry of horror. They
were Paul and Peggy Blackton!
Peggy was disleveled and sobbing,
and frantically clutching at her hus-
band. It was Paul Blackton who
dragged the cry from his lips. The
contractor was swaying. He was
hatless; his face was covered with
blood, and his eyes were only half
open, as if he were-fighting to pull
himself back to consciousness after a
terrible blow. Peggy’s hair was
down, her dress was torn at the
throat, and she was panting so that
for a moment she could not speak.

“They’ve got—l—Joanne!” she cried
then. “They went—there!”

She pointed, and Aldous ran
'where she pointed—into the timber
on the far side of the little meadow.
MacDonald caught his arm as they
ran.

 

“You go straight in,” he com-
manded. “I'll swing—to right—
toward river ”

For two minutes after that Aldous
tore straight ahead. Then for barely.
He had not
paused to question Peggy Blackton.
His own ’fears told him who Joanna's
abductors were. They were men
working under instructions from
.Quade. And they could not be far
away, for scarcely ten minutes had
passed since the first .scream. *Ho
listened, and held-his. breath so that

mew “

the terrific beating of his heart

    

would not drown the: sound of

crackling brush. All at ones. the",

bloo’d in him was frozen by a fierce, ~

yell. It was'MacDonald, a couple of
hundred yards to his right, and after

that yell came the bellowing shout '

of his name. > , ,
“Johnny! Johnny!_ Oh, Johnnyi”
He dashed ‘in MacDonald’s direc-

' .

tion, and a few moments later heard .

the crash of bodies in the under-
growth. Fifty seconds more and he
was in the arena. MacDonald was
fighting three men in a space over
which the sprucetops grew thinly.
The moon shone upon them as they
swayed in a struggling mass, and as
Aldous sprang to the combat one of
the three reeled backward and fell
as if struck by a battering-ram.

that same moment MacDonald went
down, and Aldous struck a terrific
blow with the but ofhis heavy Sav-
age. He missed, and the moment-
um of his blow carried him over
MacDonald. He tripped and fell.
By the time he had regained his feet
the two men had disappeared into
the thick shadows of the forest. Ald-
ous“ whirled toward the third man,
whom he had seen fall. He, too,
had disappeared. A little lamely
old Donald brought himself to his

feet. He was smiling.
“Now, what, do ’ee think, John-
ny?”

“Where is she? Where is Joannelm
demanded Aldous.

“Twenty feet behind you, Johnny,
gagged an’ trussed up nice as .a
whistle! If they hadn’t stopped to
do that work you wouldn’t ha’ seen
her ag’in, Johnny—s’elp me, God,
you wouldn’t; They washikin’ for
the river. Once they reached the
Frazer, and a boat—"

.He broke off to lead Aldous to a ,

clump of dwarf spruce. Behind
this, white and still in the moon-
light, but with eyes wide open and
filled with horror, lay Joanne. Hands
and feet were bound, and a big hand-
kerchief was tied over her mouth.
Twenty seconds later Aldous held
her shivering and sobbing and laugh-
ing hysterically by turns in his arms,
while MacDonald’s voice brought
Paul and Peggy Blackton to them.
Blackton had recovered from the
blow that had dazed him. Over
Joanne’s head he stared at Aldous.
And MacDonald was staring at
Blackton. His eyes were burning a
little darkly.

“It’s_all come out all right,” he
said, “but it ain’t a special nice time
0’ night to be taking a’ evening walk
in this locality with a couple 0'
ladies!”

Blackton was still staring. at Ald-l

ous, with Peggy clutching his arm as
if afraid of losing him.

It was Peggy who answered Mac-
Donald.

“And it was a nice time of night
for you to send a message asking us
to bring Joanne down the trail!” she
cried, her voice trembling.

“We——” began Aldous, when he
saw a sudden warning movement on
MacDonald’s part, and stopped.
“Let us take the ladies home,” he
said.

With Joanne clinging to him, he
led the way. Behind them all Mac-
Donald growled loudly: . ‘

“There’s got t.’ be something done
with these damned beasts of burrin-
ers. It’s gettin’ so no woman ain't
safe at night!"

Twenty minutes later they reach-
ed the bungalow. Leaving Joanne
and Peggy insidernow as busily ex-
cited as two phoebe birds, and after
Joanne had insisted upon Aldous
sleeping at the Blacktons’ that night,
the two men accompanied MacDon-
ald a few steps on his way back to
camp.

As soon as they were out ‘of ear-
shot Blackton .began cursing softly
under his breath. ,

v “So you didn’t send that damned
note?” he asked. “You haven’t said
igubut I've guessed you didn’t send

“No, we didn't send a note.”

“And you‘ had a reason—you and

MacDonald—for . not wanting the '

girls to know the truth?”

you my word. Go on.’
As briefly as possible, and without
going deeply into detail, Aldous told
' of Quade and his plot to secure pos-
session of Joanne.
-. ’ “And this is his work,” he finish—
“ ed. “I’ve told you this, Paul, so
'that you won’t worry about Peggy.

7 You‘ can see from to-night’s events

that they were not after her, but
XWanted Joanne. Joanne must not
learn the truth. And your wife must
not know. I am going to settle with
'Quade. Just how and where and
when I’m going to settle with him I
don’ t care to say now. But he’ s go—
ing to answer to me. And he’s go-
ing to answer soon.’ .

Blackton whistled softly.

“A boy brought the note,” he said.

“He stood in the dark when he.
handed it to me. And I didn’t rec-
ognize any one of the three men who

, jumped out on us. I didn’t have
'vmuch chance to fight, but if there’s
‘ any one on the face of the earth who
. \has got it over Peggy when it comes
to screaming, I’d'like to know her
name! Joanne didn’t have time to
make a sound. But they didn’t
touch Peggy until she began scream-
ing, and then one of the men began
choking her. They laid me out with
a club, so I was helpless. Good
God-———”

He shuddered.

“They were river men,” said Mac-
Donald. “Probably some of Tom-
man’s scow-men. They were mak-
ing for the river.”

A few minutes later, when Aldous
Was saying good-night to MacDonald,
the old hunter said again, in a
whisper:

“Now what do ’ee think, Johnny?”

“That you are right, Mac,” replied
Aldous in a low voice. “There is no
longer a. choice. Joanne must go
with us. You will come early?”

“At dawn, Johnny.”

He returned to the bungalow with
Blackton, and until midnight the
lights there burned brightly while
the two men answered a thousand
questions about the night’s advent-
ure, and Aldous told of his and
Joanne’s plans for the next day.

It was half-past twelve when he
locked the door of his room and sat
down to think.

CHAPTER XXIII
HERE was no longer doubt in
the mind of John Aldous now.
The attempt upon Joanne had
'left him but one course to pursue:
he must take her with him, in spite

[he had Seen a .few hours before. He

realized What a fight this would
mean for him, and with what clever-

ness and resource he must play his

part. Joanne had not given herself
to him as she had once given herself
to Mortimer FitzHugh. In the
“coyote,” when they had faced
death, she had told him that were
there to be a to- morrow in life for
them she would have given herself
to him utterly and without reserva-
tion. And that to- morrow had
dawned. It was present. She was
his wife. And she had come to him
as she had promised. In her eyes
he‘had seen love and trust and faith
——-and a- glorious happiness. She
had made no effort to hide that hap-
piness from him. Consciousness of
it filled him with his own great hap-
piness, and yet it made him realize
even more deeply how hard his fight
was to be. She was his wife. In a
hundred little ways she had shown
him that she was proud of her wife-
hood. And again he told himself
that she had come to him as she
had promised, that she had given in-
to his keeping all that she had to
:give. And yet—she ~was not his
wife !

He groaned aloud, and his fingers
dug into the flesh of his knees as
he thought of that. Could he keep
that terrible truth from her? If she
went with him into the North, would
she not guess? And, even though
he kept the truth from her until
Mortimer FitzHugh was dead, would
he be playing fair with her? Again
he went over all that he had gone ov-
er before. He knew that Joanne
would leave him tomorrow, and
probably forever, if he told her that
FitzHugh was alive. The law could
not help him, for only death—and
never divorce—would free her.
Within himself he decided for the
last time. He Was about to do the
one thing left for him to do. And
it was the honorable thing, for it
meant freedom for her and happi-
ness for them both. To him, Don-
ald MacDonald had become a man
who lived very close to the heart and
the right of things, and Donald had
said that he should take her. This
was the greatest proof that he was
right.

But could he keep Joanne,from
guessing? Could he keep her from
discovering the truth until it was
time for her to know the truth? In
this necessity of keeping her from
suspecting that something was
wrong he saw his greatest fight.
Compared with it, the final settle-
ment with Quade and Mortimer Fitz-
Hugh sank into a second importance.
He knew What would happen then.
But Joanne—Joanne on the trail, as
his wife .

ers wuz glad to get fifty cents fer

fer three an’ five cents a pound.
Dear farmer friends, can’t you
see there’s got to be a different way
of sellin’ your stuff? It’s not a fair
deal to you fer the middleman to get

‘ sixty-five cents out of every dollar’s

worth of stuff you sell. An’ yet
that’s jest what they’re doin’———milk,
eggs, butter—everything you sell.
Figure what you get an’ then ask
any consumer in the city what he
pays.

There is no sugar shortage. If
there wuz no merchant could pile up
fifty or a hundred toils of it. There
is no shortage of anything jest now
except farm help-there is a short-
age of that ’cause the city offers
better wages ’an the farmer can pay.
But wait a little while, jest stay
where you are. Soon the tide will

Farm prices must go higher or some-

Accidents Like the
Above May Happen

With the large number of heavy trucks and auto-
mobile busses running on the highways your car may be
run into and shoved off the highway into the ditch, mak-
ing a complete wreck. The driver of the other car may
be worthless and you will need automobile insurance to
take care of your loss. On the other hand, in case of a
collision in which the automobile is damaged and people
injured, there is the usual argument as to who is at fault.

Mr. FARMER, if you have invested from $500 to
$3,000 in an automobile, can you afford to take the risk
with the increasing danger upon all highways and city
streets of the state? Why not insure in the pioneer mut-
ual that is now starting its ninth season of success and
therefore is organized to give you service and to protect
your rights? Every regular policy carries liability to
$5,000 and fire and theft not exceeding $1,000. Collis-
imt and additional fire and theft can be had at reasonable
ra es.

On May 1st the total cash assets of the company '
were $225,412.20 which, with office building and other
assets amounting to $49,690.49, makes total assets of -
$275,102.69.

Remember, on a Dodge car the cost is only $10.50
for fire and theft to the value of the car and $5,000 lia-

“The Farm Paper of Service”

DIRT! POLITICS

T is to be hoped that few farmers were actually
gullible enough to wallow in the slime of
dirty gossip which was given to the city news-

papers last week from Lansing, regarding the
honor and character of David Friday, president
of the Michigan Agricultural College.

As Governor Groesbeck said,«"No more direct
stab—in-the-back was ever aimed at' a Michigan
institution" and the pity is that it was made
serious only by the amount of space, always will-
ingly devoted to any scandal, no matter how
frail its foundation, by the daily newspapers.

We believe in a free and untrammeled press.
but we believe first in the foundation of all Amer-
_ciau law and order, which is, that a man is inno-
cent, until he has been proven guilty.

By “aver” and “it is alleged” and “we under-
stand", the daily press can print any amount of
gossip or propaganda, attacking the honor and
character of any citizen, no matter what his posi-
tion or his past reputation, and be “within the
law.”

At the time the first reports from Lansing were
strung across the head lines of the newspapers,
Dr. Friday, was in Connecticut addressing large
meetings in the indirect, if not the direct interests
of Michigan agriculture.

From the point of any one familiar with the
present and past history of the Michigan Agri—
cultural College it is the most natural thing in
the world that this present eruption should have
happened; the regret is that it could not have
been a clean, above-board, open fight. That was
‘ hardly to be expected, however, with Dr. Friday,
aligned against a peanut-brained group of gar-
den—variety politicians.

Something Wrong at East Lansing

The farmers of Michigan have known for a
good many years that there was something rotten
They
were pacified only, when the announcement was
made that a man of Dr. Fridays reputation was
to be put at the head and given full authority
to bring thecollege back to a standing, second
to none, which it once boasted.

We have been no less aware of the fact that
,. all was not right at East Lansing, even since Dr.
.Friday took over the reins and we began to see
Q, his fundamental policies of business farming per-
colating into the working of the various divisions
of the college activities.

As recently as February of this year we asked
Dr. Friday, privately and from this very page to
use The Business Farmer as his spokesman to
the real farmers of Michigan. We promised him
a willing audience And a most interested one in
anything he might have to say._ We felt perhaps
he had a load on his mind which he ought-to
divulge to the men and women of the farms in
Michigan. to whom he was, when all is said and
done. alone‘responsib‘le. It is therefore to be re-
gretted. at this time. that he did not accept this
invitation and lay down before the farmers of
Michigan the difficulties under which he was
laboring to improve their own institution of

the wave of prosperity turning towa‘rdz the term
er, as Dr. Friday predicted, that their job of
“organizing" and “howling” is over? Or are
they the impractical theorists who have tried to
make us believe that the union laborer of the

‘ city who owns nothing, except his right to strike,
is entitled to the friendship and support of the'

farmer, who has an average investment of thou-
sands ot dollars and yet who has not been able
to afford the luxuries which the dollar-an-hour
city laborer has boasted these past several years.

Let's get these so-called “state-agricultural-
leaders” out from under cover. ' _

Let’s find out who these men are who speak
authoratively for the actual working farmers of
the state of Michigan.

Let them show us their record. not of words,’

but of deeds!

If there is in Michigan a man who has ac-
complished more for the farmers business in our
state. who has pointed out a saner course, of
helped to stabilize farm and crop prices or helped
show the boys and girls on our farms a future
on the farms, or who has more diligently sought
to disclose, to tired and tear-dimmed eyes of men
and women after devoting the best years of

their lives to farming. a silver-lining to the dark .

clouds that seemed almost to engulf them. than
Dr. Friday, we want someone to point him out
to us.

High Time for Action!

We believe the farmers of Michigan will agree
that The Business Farmer has as much right to
express their sentiments as any other source.
We have a record for being absolutely indepen-
dent and we shall continue to be, but we say.
here and now, that the farmers of our home
state are tired and nauseated with the cheap
politician. the man who is striving to get political
position by capitalizing their friendship. We
have tolerated several in Michigan that ought
to have been exposed years ago. but when these
same individuals launch an attack on a man who
has the confidence, gained by actual accomplish-
ment against great odds. such as Dr. David Fri-
day enjoys with the farmers of Michigan, they
can get ready for our “big bertha", because it
is aimed their way.

We believe that Dr. Friday will stand by the
fight. now that the gauntlet has been thrown
down by his opposition. Wis do not size him up
as a “quitter”. The fact that he hurried hack
to Lansing when the news of the attack reached
him would indicate that he does not fear a fight
in the open. as those who attacked him from
ambush did. We know he will stick if he feels
that he has the confidence and the support of
the real farmers of Michigan behind him and we
want him to know that he has.

MEMORIAL DAY

ORTY states in the Union now celebrate May -

thirtieth as‘a legal holiday. It is a day set

aside primarily for remembering those who
have given the greatest gift within their power for
the honor and defence of'their flag and their
country. It is no less a day set aside to the
memory of all .whom we loved, but who have
preceded us in the “great adventure."

On this day as an emblem of our love and devo-
tion we place flowers on the graves of those who
have departed as an expression of their memory
which we cherish, yet Decoration Day was only
an idea in the head of a young newspaperman
fifty-eight years ago.

The origin of Memorial Day is an interesting

one although known to few. The man to whom'

the idea came was John Redpath. a young news-
paper reporter who had been assigned to accom-
pany General Sherman on his march to the sea.
John Redpath wrote the first news of the fall of
Charleston, South Carolina, and. when the troops
entered that city, Colonel Woodford, who was
the millitary head of the city, invited Mr. Red-
path, in addition to his newspaper duties, to be-
come the temporary Superintendent of Schools.
This work was not difficult, for the people of the
city were anxious to resume their lives on a peace
What John Redpath had to do, however,
was to work on the first public schools opened in
Charleston for negro children. _"One_ of these

schools was just outside the town. and the road
that led there passed. what had once been, the

race-track of the city, but which had been used
after the fighting around Charleston as a gen-
eral burying-ground for the men of both the
Union and Confederate tosses who had fallen in
battle. To make this imam spot more sad.

As he went about his work in the days that

A FARMERS MARKET PLACE

been any number of plans “suggested for the
shortening of the gap between the producer and .,
the consumer, and yet none has the practical ele- ,.
ment which makes for success as does the open
market provided in cities where farmers from a

_ distance can come and dispose of their products.

The market place at Bloomington is'an example.
and The Business Farmer is presenting this story
to our readers with the idea of encouraging the
establishment of more markets in the cities of
this state.

True it is that many of the large 'cities have”-
called markets, but most of those who sell on
these markets are buyers who go. through the
country and buy from the farmer. The markets
which already exist in Michigan do not reth ’
ten percent of the number which should be oper-
ated and operated to the profit not only of the sur-
rounding country but to the municipalities which '
would provide such an establishment. .

We are informed that the sale of bonds 'to pro-
vide for a suitable market place by any town or
city in the state of Michigan is permissible and-
The Business Farmer would like to do all in its

. power to encourage during the present year as

rapidly as possible the building of farmers’ mar-l:-
ets in every town and city in our state.

PAYING UP
MAN connected with’several farmere’ banks
in the central portion of Michigan tells us
that farmers are rapidly paying up the obii~
gations they contracted during the past few years.

It seems a little odd perhaps that debts should
actually be paid up during times of depression.
while debts are contracted during times of easy
money, and yet it is a human trait. We are all'
optimists. If things are good today we believe
they are going to [be good tomorrow, and so we
borrow for our needs today in the expectancy of
tomorrow.

We have all been pressed hard during the past
two years of agricultural depression, so we have
adjusted our lives to using less money, we have
worked harder to make more money, and with

our surplus, we have been paying up the obliga- ‘ '

tions which we contracted during much better
days.

Nothing better could be said of the farmer than
that as a class he is moat anxious and will sacriw ,
lice most to rid himself of the burden of debt.

THE MAY SNOW

WHEN we awoke the other morning and found
t he thermometer outside registering
twenty—two degrees above zero our hearts
sank within us, but a statement from the Crop,
Survey Department. says that little damage was
done in Michigan and for this fact we have to
thank the heavy snowfall, which ‘protected the
buds and dropped several million tons of "poor
man’ s fertiliser” over the state- . ' .
One scientist has pointed out that because of _
sun spots this will be a cold summer. and so far '
at least we can take him seriously. ‘
Another argues that the sun is slofly cooling

average temperezure as them

this week because i hope it will
help to answer one or two inquiries
that are bound to come to me every

who have not noted in this column
my comments on the growing at rab-
bits, guinea pigs, white mice, and
covies for the so—called Food and

al breeding pair at a high price with

the understanding that they will buy ~

book called “Pigs is Pigs. ” It you

library and borrow it it you want an

. evenings good enjoyment and many
a hearty laugh. You can read it in
an hour or two.

The foundation of the story is the
rapid breeding propensities of a pair
if guinea pigs, which were shipped to

" a small express ofllce presided over
by an Irish express clerk. As the

rightful owner the pigs started to

office and threatened to engulf the

I am wondering what would hap-
pen it the same thing should happen
to a shipment sent out by the Fur
Association. In that case, accord-
ing to the alluring circulars, the. ex-
pressman would find himself poss-
esded or a growing tel-tune which

A GOLD BRICK

N eastern‘iarm paper with a na-

tional circulation, which is old

enough to know better, is send-

ing crews into Michigan and nearby

states; the men in which are armed

with a lead pipe in the shape of a
petition.

Some of these agents travel in
overalls, sometimes with a retired
farmer, or someone known in the
community, who lends a degree of
respectability to the proposal. The
unsuspecting farmer is asked to sign

. a petition to ."lower taxes, prevent

labor strikes, lessen commission,
men, and reduce freight rates."
Naturally every farmer who sees this
wants these four things to happen
and is willing to sign anything that
may aid in bringing them about.

The hitch comes when the agent '

asks for two dollars to pay for a ten
years subscription to this paper so
that the tanner may keep posted on
Just what this paper is doing in
Washington to bring about the ideal
conditions their petition seeks.

The scheme sounds so simple, that
yon'may consider our warning read-
ers of The Business Farmer, as
questioning their intelligence. The
scheme is, however, being presented
in so many dinerent terms and so
often with the apparent good faith
of a neighbor accompanying

SMART BRIDAL ACCESSORIES

HERE no longer seems to be any
T question of the propriety of ad-
, . ding a touch of color to the con—
ventional veiled bridal gown. The

« predominating tone of course is
white but dressmakers in this coun-
"try are copying some of the French
dressmakers and putting a little bit
of soft green or even the palest
shade of pink under the bridal dress.

The head—dress that has a diadem
is the smartest of all for this spring
and can be made at home very easi-.
1y. Sometimes they are fashipned
of artificial orange blossoms, in fact
any dainty white flower would be ap-
propriate.

If it is possible to have a home
wedding, have one by all means. I
do not know of any sweeter mem-
ories than an old—fashioned home
wedding. Rich or poor can afford
this and with the abundance of
spring flowers that can be had in our
0Wn woods, our homes can be made
a bower.

The white prayer—book is taking
the place of the bridal boquet in a
great many weddings and it makes
a lovely keepsake.

 

 
   
   
 
 
  
 
   
 
 
 
  
 
 
   
 
 
   
  
 
  
    
 
   
  
    
  
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
   
  
  
 
  
  
   
  
   

 

LINEN SHOWER FOR THE JUNE
" BRIDE
F a girl has a few friends in her
I neighborhood, it is a lovely
thing for one of her most inti-
mate friends to give a linen or even
miscellaneous shower. These show-
er affairs are very inexpensive for
the giver and brings so much joy
and real good to the future bride.
All our girls love to make pretty
things and a towel With a few
stitches of embroidery makes a very
acceptable gift. Each girl making
”some little hand worked article—-
face cloths with a little crocheting
around the edge, two or three kitch-
en towels With neat hhnd hemming.-
‘The handkerchief carried by the
bride on her wedding day is a lovely
gift.
A simple luncheon can be served
so that a great deal of work does not
make our hostess tired. Why not
have our girls arrive around two
o’clock and either sew or play cards
or just chat for an hour or two and
then serve a simple tea menu. The
following is very good and not a.
great deal of labor:

Add raisins. seeded and cut in pieces and spread
evenly in s buttered pan, using hands, having
mixture threefourths inch in depth. Cool and
cut in cubes. These may be passed the early part
of the afternoon.

Tea should be served with sugar and cream

or a dish of cloves and those who care for it
this way use two or three cloves in cups and it
gives a peculiar but delightful taste. Slices of
lemon are also served for the tea.
, The table can be made so attract-
ive with a large fancy doily that
does not quite cover the whole table
or with small doilies. At a tea the
custom is to either seat your guests
around the room andserve them or
else stand. There are so many
beautiful wild flowers now that one
need not be without a. pretty center
piece. .

The shower gifts can be a Sur—
prise and just before serving a box
covered with colored crepe paper
can be used to hold the gifts and
give them to the bride-to—be and she
should open each package so that all
might share in the happiness.

A DAISY AND BUTTERCUP.
WEDDING

AISES or elderberry blossoms

make as pretty decorations for

a June wedding as do roses.
Laurel also makes a charming orna-
mentation and keeps fresh, which is
a decided advantage. In all decorat-
ing, avoid mixing flowers. Make it
a rose wedding, a. laurel wedding, a
dogwood or a daisy wedding, but do
not mix these all up in one. You
could make your dining room one
kind and another room different. An
exception to this, however, is in the
mixing of flowers which nature her-
self has a fancy for combinning,
such as the early wild .flowers or
buttercups and daisies. These are
beautiful in combination, giving the
effect of. cheer and sunshine.

Make garlands for the bride’s and
groom’s chairs. If you have a spec-
ial for the young folks make a cent-

Mothers Problems

 

THE AFTERNOON NAP

HERE is no set limit to 'the age
at which a child shall cease
taking his afternoon nap. The

time varies with different children.
Sometimes a child with an excep-
tionally strong nervous system, can
well dispense with the afternoon nap
by the time he is in his third year;
again, a nervous, high—strung type
of child must rest and sleep a bit
during the day if possible, until five
years old or more. It is for every
mother to decide when her child is
too old for the nap.

Most mothers stop the daily nap too
soon. As the child gets into his sec-
ond year and play becomes an .all-
important consideration more and

more firmness and persistence are.

necessary to get him to “go off” each
day at the regular time. . If Mother
is busy, and the child shows no signs
of being sleepy, the temptation be-
comes too great to let the nap go

just for to-day." Perhaps later on
the child will fall asleep on the

couch or on the floor, and will be.

put to bed to complete his rest; but
the habit of being put to bed at the
regular time each day will have been
weakened. It will grow easier» and
easier for the child to remain awake
past nap-time, until soon he is going
all day long without a break in his
day of play. ~

If the child goes to bed very early, .

no ill effects may follow, but likely
as not, bed-time will not be placed
an hour ahead of its former time.
and the child will merely be cheated
out of an hour’s needed rest. .

The nervous child can never grow

too old for, a daily'nap, or at. least a ‘ ,

Personal Column

 

1' course no little modern bride is super
sldtious. Certamly not. But all the same
brides of today like to know the supersti-
tions that long have applied to brides.

There are certain omens that they feel better if
they know about, for some are good and some are
bad. and all are quaint. Here are some rhymes
you may cut out and paste under the cover of
your hope chest, just to laugh about, or to show
to some of your bride friends who may be a bit
superstitious.

Marry when the year is new——

Always loving, kind and true.

When February birds do mate

You may wed. nor dread your fate.

If you wed when March winds blow

Joy and sorrow both you ’ll know.

Marry in April when you can——

Joy for maiden and for man.

Marry in the month of May,

You will surely me the day. '

Marry when June roses glow,

Over land and sea youll go.

They who in July do wed.

Must labor always for their bread.

Whoever wed in August he

Many a change are sure to see.

Marry in September’s shrine,

Your livingvnll be rich and line.

If in October you will marry.

Love will come. but riches tarry.

If you wed in bleak November.

Only joy will come, remember.

Another interpretation is.
Marry in January's hear and rhyme,
Widowed you’ll be before your prime.
Married in February's sleety weather
Life you'll tread in tune together.
Marry when March winds shreik and roar,
Your home will lie on a foreign shore.
Married 'neath April’s changeful skies,
A checkered path before you lies.
Married when bees o'er May blossoms flit;
Strangers around your board will sit.
Married in month of roses—June;
Life will be one long honeymoon.
Married in July with flowers ablaze.
Bitterest memories in after days.
Married in August's heat and drowse,
Lover and friend in your chosen spouse.
Married in golden September's glow,
Smooth and serene your life will go.
Married when leaves in October thin.
Toil iand hardships for you begin.
-Mamed in veils of November mist.
Fortune you. wedding ring has kissed.
Married in days of Decembev cheer,
Love’s star shines brighter from year to year.

THE CROUCH
There was a man, at least he claimed that name.
,But he growled and groaned all the same.
When the weather was warm and started the
sweat
He’d hump up his back and say he was ”hot".
But when the wintry winds blew cold and it
snowed
He’d look from the window and say "Worst
weather ever known’
And thus he complained from morning 'till night
And Eh?“ darkness alone could shut his mouth
2
He became such a nuisance to all of his friends
That. of plans to cure him there were no ends.
His tangily {and his neighbors of patience were
ere I;

And wished earnestly that his neigh‘borhood n. ‘

had left.
But no such good fortune was theirs to enjoy
For this "excuse for a man"
old boy"
finally their patience being entirely or
hausted,
Onto the waiting junk heap this grouch thq
tasted.

And his place on Earth being thereby vacated
Andtheharmhehaddonobeingjustlyrated.
It was found on inspection that nothing of worth
Had resulted from this being having come from
to this earth
And now that this lesson to all is apparent
That to some mortals a sour disposition is h-
herent,
Int us all have charity that thinketh no 111

Dear Uncle Ned—I love every-
thing on the farm. We will not dis-
turbe a bird nest of any kind as we
love all birds. We have little wren
housesupoaapostlnlroatotour
house. The birds built a nest in our
mail box last summer and we took
them out and put. them up in a box
and they stayed there all summer.
We hope to see them again this sum-
mer. We like your paper.——Hattie
Ruslng, R. 6, Allegan, Mich.

—-—One should always be a. triend to
the birds. Many of them appear to
do considerable damage but in most
cases the good they do outweighs by
a large margin the damage. Poo~
pie who like animals and are kind to
them always have. plenty of friends.

 

Dear Uncle Ned—It has been such
a long time since I have written to
the M. B. F., I suppose you have tor-
gotten me. I have been so busy
since I started to high school in Mt.
Clemens that I could not write. The
school work has been much easier
for me this semester. I’m now 16
years old and in the A 9th grade.
Will the. girls and boys please write
to me? These otmy age or older.
My sister, Eunice, said she would
like to join the M. B. F. but is too
old. She is 18 years old and would
like to have the girls and boys oi
her age and older write to her. I
think there isn’t anything nicer than
to receive a letter from someone. Its
also a great pastime to write letters.
About two weeks ago my sisters and
I went to the woods to get flowers.
The mayilowers were the only ones
out, now the bleeding hearts, adders
tongues and violets are out. I just
love to go to the woods don’t you?
My sister, Rose, has eighteen corres-
pondents and I don’t really see how
she can keep track at all at them. I
have only one. Will close with lots
of loVe to Uncle Ned—Iris Arnold,
Box 474, R4, Mt. Clemens, Mich.
-—-I should say I have not forgotten
you although it has been a long time
since you wrote to me. Don't wait
so long between letters, Iris. And
tel-l your sister, Eunice, that she can
write it she wishes. Some of tho
mémbers of our merry circle are two
or three years older than she is. Yes,
it is great fun to gather flowers in
the woods. '

'Dear Uncle Ned—This is \the sec-
ond time I have written but I did
not see my, first letter in print. I
think it went in the waste paper
basket. The weather is nice new
but the water has been high and all
the ditches were full and overflowing
but it went down Monday, April 16.
We did not have any school for one
week for the water went over the
roads 'and‘ the children could not
come to school. ,I am 13 years old
and in the seventh grade at school.
My teacher’s name is J. J. Donnelly.
I wish you could see the water now
and come and take a boat ride like
some people are taking, for beside

. our house is a big ditch about twelve

feet deep. We have 5 rabbits but
only one is quite tame. Every time
flue fight

yard sack. Up and down,

down, never touching sky or ground.
Answer: A pump handle. I think!
that is enough for this time. The
one that guesses my middle name I
will write. a letter to. Good-bye
from Either EL. The-t, Turner, Mich-
igan, m. -, .

——-“II at first you don’t succeed try,
t1“! again" must'be your motto. It
is a good one. The waste paper
basket is taking a vacation.

   
 

Dear Uncle Ned—l would like to.
jot: your merry circle. I like to
read the Children’s Hour. When I
was reading it last week I saw a girl
with same name as mine. I was go-
ing to write‘ to her but can not find
her address justrnow. I am 16 years
old, and in the 9th grade. We live
on a farm of 240 acres. We have
fifteen cows to milk and I have to
help. Our farm is three miles from
town but my two sisters and I live in
townsoastobemrsehool. my

one sister teaches the grammar
room. I have another sister mar—
ried. I only live about eighteen

miles from Lake Huron. I have my
hair bobbed, had it out about three
weeks ago. Lille it much better.
We don't live far from the dam that
gives the power for lights in the
city. The towers run by our place.
I have been all through the power
house. We go up there fishing reel
often in the spring—Bernice Graves,
R2, Hale, Michigan. ' ‘
——All right, you are now a member
of the Children’s Hour and in order
to continue to be one you must read
the department and write a letter to
me once in awhile.

 

Dear Uncle 'Ned—We all enjoy
reading the M. B. F., but I believe I
enjoy it more than the rest and look
for it more eagerly because of “The
Children’s Hour.” I like to read
of what the other boys and girls are
doing. We are having very stormy
weather here. I live 7 miles from
the “$00” and have about a mile to
walk to school. I will be twelve
years old on the 19th of March. I
have one sister and. three brothers.-
we are all going to school. Your
gees, Mina. Miller, Sault Ste. Marie,

c .

 

Dear Uncle New-How are you
this fine spring weather? I am just
fine. Well, I guess I will describe
myself: I am four feet ten, so I am
just two inches or having five feet
I weigh seventy-five pounds, have
light hair, dark complexion and
dark brown eyes. I am in the sixth
grade at school. I o to the Wer— ,
muth school and lie my teacher
very much. My favorite studies are
language and arithmetic. May I
join your circle please? We all like
the M. B. F. Write to Irene 'Terpen-
ing, R1, Ithaca, Mich.

—I am just fine, thank you; or as
the fellow said, “If I felt any better
I would have to call a doctor." I
suppose your school will soon bo’
out. Will you be glad or sorry?

Dear Uncle Ned—I have been a
silent reader of the M. B. F., for
some time and am very much inter-

‘ested \in the Children’s - Hour. I

thought I’d write for the first time.
I am a girl of 13 years of age, and
a blon'd. I am in the eighth grade,
and I like to go to school. There
are 19 children going to our school.

—You do not state just what you
are leading these cows at the present
time. You only stated what you
had led them during the past winter.
I talus itv'tlmt you are a little short
as roughage and if this is the .case
your cows may lack roughage. I
am inclined to think this is what
they lack more than anything else
although some sometimes lack min—
eral matter when they are fed .a suf-
1ficant quantity of roughage even.
and they will behave in the reams
manner as your cows are doing at

FEEDING POTATOES mo MILCH
COWS .

Will you answer in regards to po-
tatoes to milch cows? A neighbor
says they are harmful and reduce
the amount of milk, also hurt test
of. creams—L. 0., Sand Lake, Mich.

-——Pota2toes make a good feed for

 

.milch owe it they are not fed too

many at a time. They are just about
as valuable as corn silage. Twenty
pounds per day make a good feed
for the. average cow and I would not
advise giving more than that
amount. If a cow is fed all the po-
tatoes (she “wants, she will naturally
eat less of other foods and her ration
then will consist of more water than
nsual and she will naturally not get
as much dry matter in her food and
the milk now may shrink same. But
when fed in the same way as silage
along with other roughage and grain
you will not (notice any reduction in
the amount of milk. Often times
the milk and butter will show the ef-
.-fect oil overfeeding on potatoes. The
batter is otten salvy. .As far .as the
test of the .cream is concerned, they
will not affect the test of cream.—

of Use

The most remarkable evidence, giving additional proof
of the exceptional quality and durability of De Laval Cream
Separators, was disclosed by the “Oldest Users Contest”
which dosed on April 7th. Thousands of old De Laval
Separators from all parts of the North American continent
were entered. ”We wish to thank all who participated 1n this
contest for their splendid co-operation 1n securing the data,
which gives an accurate idea of just how long a De Laval
will last when properly cared for.

The average lite of the “Oldest De Lavals,” all of which
are stlll being used, was a little over 24 years. The oldest
De loyal entered is 32 years old and is owned by Joseph
Larocque of Lancaster, Ont, Canada.

In view of the fact that the average life of cream sepa-
rators other than De Lavals is about five years, it can
readily be seen from such unquestionable proof that the
De Laval 15 not only the best but four to five times cheaper
than other cream separators—and, remember, the 1923

7. De Laval is better than ever, has over four times the caper;

i-ty of these old machines, is greatly improved, costs less,
and will last even longer.

TROUBLE MAY BE DUE TO TWO
CAUSES--

I wish to know What is the matter
with my hogs. They are not feeling
right. I have twenty-six hogs shut
up in my hog house and they are
getting poor instead. of fat. I have
them divided in two bunches. The
hogs weigh 165 pounds apiece.
They have been shut up for four
weeks on corn "and alfalfa and a.
warm_ drink twice a day, half milk
and water mixed. In my hog house
I have cement feeding floors and

sleeping pen separate from feeding T’
.. room and plank floor.

They don‘t
have any appetite, they don’t seem
to be sick or dumpish, they seem to
breath like a heaving horse, their
sides seem to thump in and out
much harder than common. They,
seem to have a slight cough, but

don’t seem to strangle or choke.‘

The twenty-six hogs now are eating
seven bushels of corn and a small
feed ofvaifalfa and drink 25 gallons
of milk and water daily, but fail to
fatten—R. F. D., Leslie, Mich.

l—It is rather difficult to tell just

what ails your pigs. Your trouble
is“ due to either one of two causes.
Either these hogs are severely infect-
ed with intestinal parasites, or your
quarters have not been properly
ventilated, causing them to steam
during the night and they have

» caught cold.

If the latter cause was the trouble,
it would be best to open the quarters
and give them air enough so that
they will remain dry when piled up
in the nest, and give them a. laxative
ration for a. few days in order to
assist them in getting over their
This could be done
by giving some bran in the milk
and water which you are feeding,
and adding to it one teaspoonful of
epsom salts per hog.

If worms are the cause of your
trouble, it would be best to buy
some capsules or tablets for the pur-
pose of eliminating the worms.
These can be obtained from any re-
liable drug house, or perhaps thru
your local drug houses. It would
be best to purchase a capsule or
tablet upon either santonin or oil of
Vchenopodium.—Geo. A. Brown, Prof.
of Animal Husbandry, M. A. C.

HAVE VETERINARIAN EXAMINE
SOW

I have a fat sow that has been
paralyzed for three months in" hind
parts. Does not stand on hind legs
at all. One veterinary took her
temperature and said it was normal
and said it would be all right to
butcher her. Would you please let
me know whether this would be all
right to market? Hog eats well
and seems all right otherwise—D.
J. T., Moline, Michigan.

——-It would very likely be very diffi-
cult to get any hog buyer to buy your
sow in a. parlyzed condition. Her
carcass may perhaps be all right for
humane consumption after she has
been killed and dressed. I would
prefer however to have the carcass
inspected by a competent veterinar—

after she has been killed ‘and
dressed to make sure that it is all
right. It may. be perfectly all right
but it will depend somewhat upon
what the cause of the paralysis is.
——John P. Hutton, Professor of Surg-
ery and Medicine, M. A.

Cause of White Diarrhea
_Wh.ite Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum: This
germ is transmitted to the baby chick
through the yolk of the newly hatch-
“ed egg. Readers are warned to be-
" ware of White Diarrhea. Don't wait
until it kills half your chicks. Take
’ the “stitch in time that saves nine."
Remember, there is scarcely a hatch
without some infected chicks. Don’t
let these few infect your entire flock.
Prevent'it. Give Walko i n all drink-
ing water for the first two weeks and
you won't lose one chick where you
lost hundreds before. These letters
prove it:

I NOT ENOUGH OUTDOOR
EXERCISE .

On March 15th, I had 200 baby
chicks shipped from Grand Rapids,
and they arrived here in a blizzard
and of course they were badly
chilled, and died by tens until all
were gone except forty. They did
very well until about three weeks
old. They were in a small com-
partment in large broader house run
by hard coal heaters. This compart-
ment had a board floor but I had
put sand and fine gravel on the floor

- but their legs and feet got all crip-

pled up, and when they got about it
was by flying and fluttering of wings.
Leading out of these compartments
are large runways with cement floor.
Itook sand and covered the cement
floor about an inch and a half and
dampened it, and shut chicks out
there in day time, and nearly all got
well and over, the lameness and
started growing again. And new
again I have four or live that can
hardly get around they are so badly
crippled. They do not have acess to
outside ground as the snow has been.
deep until the last two days. They
are fed with the following: Commer-
cial chick feed, cracked corn and
some wheat. have bran, ground green
alfalfa, charcoal and shell, butter-
milk or thick sour milk and water
in front of them at all times. Can
you tell me what is wrong? Some
tell me the damp sand will cause
rheumatism. but I read an article a
few weeks ago similar to this and
the woman said she saved a flock by
putting them out to paddle in the
mud.—-W. A. R., Petoskey, Mich.
——Your experience is typical of many
others who hatched chicks early this
season. Unfortunately, the spring
has been cold and damp with the re-
sult that many chicks did not get
sufficient outdoor exercise early in
life, and leg weakness in nearly
every case occurred.

Chicks cannot be confined longer

,,than two or three weeks without de—

veloping signs of leg weakness. It
is a good practice to encourage the
chicks to take out door exercise
when they are from ten days to two
weeks of age; however, we have
been able to reduce and practically
eliminate this trouble by careful
feeding.

Green food in some form or an—
other such as sprouted oats, chopped
cabbage, etc., furnishes dietary es-
sentials in preventing leg weakness
due to faulty nutrition. Ordinarily
it is a good practice to feed green
food after the fourth day and if out"
door exercise is furnished in addi-
tion to a diet containing leaf greens
very seldom any trouble from leg
weakness will develop.

We have had exceptionally satis-
factory results in feeding lime water
to correct excessive acidity, and sup-
plying a mash containing equal parts
by weight of bran and rolled oats
moistened with tomato juice plus
about one per cent cod liver oil.
Chicks will usually yield to this
treatment showing a marked im-
provement within twenty—four hours.
——E. C. Forman, Associate Professor
of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.

A NEW CORN CHAMPION
CCORDING to the Agricultural
Extension Department of the
Ohio State University, a farmer
of Licking County, Ohio, William H.
Gilmore, raised more corn last year,
on ten acres of land than has ever
been raised before.» The record is
official, having been made in connec-
tion with the annual 10-acre corn
contest conducted by the university.
Mr. Gilmore produced 1,343.1 bush-
els of air-dried shelled corn on his

10 acres, an average of 134.3 bush- .

els per acre, 93.3 bushels greater
than Ohio’s average yield.

“Mr. Gilmore," said one of the un—
iversity ofllcials, “has averaged over
100 bushels per acre for three years,
but this year made very special ef-
forts to break all existing records.
He plowed down a clover sod, half

. of which had been manured, and ap-

plied 18 per cent acid phosphate at
the rate of 500 pounds per acre. The

‘ difierent color to those hatched by

'weakness, however, may be due to

 

'heni.
land Red hatched three goelinge and
one chick. A week later a White
Rock hen hatched three gosling s and
two chicks and she would not have
these queer looking baby gosllngs

and packed them until I took them ‘

to the Rhode Island Red, and she

took them without a murmur, but-
,when I gave her the extra chicks‘

she wouldn’t have them. Then the
little Bantam came off with baby
chicks a week later, and I gave her
the two chicks and she took them.
.She went on the nest for a week to
start with, never laid on egg and
then went to setting and hatched out
baby chicks. This morning I had
two goslings hatch and gave them
to the Rhode Island Red. I guess
she would take all the go: slings one
would give her. But it still being
too cold to keep the three little ones
out of doors I brought them in and
gave them to the Bantam, and she
squawked about such looking babies
and when I put them under her and
told her she had to keep them. I
guess she understood for she made
no more fuss and they eat and sleep
all together now and all are happy.
——Mrs. T. R., Allegan, Michigan.

——It is a common practice for poul-
trymen to incubate eggs artificially
and then induce a foster mother to
raise the chicks. It is probably a.
more common practice to set the in-
cubator and the hens at the same
time and when the entire hatch is
completed to transfer the chicks
from the machines to the hens. In
making this transfer, one should be
very careful not to add chicks of

the hen, because she will immediate-
ly detect that they do not belong 10
her own brood and is very liable to
peck and abuse the chicks to such
an extent that high mortality re-
sults altho you do not mention the
color or the breed of the chicks pro—
duced.

I would surmise the reason why
these hens did not adopt the chicks
more gracefully was due to the vari-
ety of color. It is not a good prac—
tice to rear goslings and chicks to—
gether as their habits are so entire-
ly different. Little difficulty is ex-
perienced in giving each hen chicks
of the same color and if different
breeds are being raised together,
each hen should be given a few eggs
from the different breeds so that
she will have a variety of colors
among the chicks she 'hatches.——E.
C. Foreman, Associate Professor of
Poultry Husbandry, M. A; C.

 

COMBINATION OF DISEASES

We are troubled with a disease
among our hens. First it causes
their heads to swell around the eyes,
then they become lame, they get very
thin and die. Could you please tell
us what this disease is called and
also What to do for it?——Mrs. J. S.,
Brown City, Michigan.

—From the symptoms described, the
trouble could be diagnosed as a com-
bination of either Chicken Pox or
Roup, and Tuberculosis or some
nutritional disturbance.

Ordinarily in the case of Roup a
discharge is usually apparent in the
nostrils and a swelling in front of
the eye altho the entire eye may be- '
come affected in severe cases. In
the case of Chicken Pox, brownish
or blackish scabs appear on the comb
and wattles and in real severe cases
cankerous growths develop in the
throat and mouth causing a high
mortality due to diflicult breathing.
In the case of nutritional disturb-
ances a pufliness usually occurs
around the eye without an accumul-
ation of puss: The birds in such
cases generally possess good appe-
tites but are usually weak and low
in fertility. -

Lameness is SOmetimes one of the
external symptoms of Tuberculosis,
especially when it occurs in the left
leg and is accompanied by an emaci-
ated condition. Some forms of leg

Rheumatism caused by faulty hous-
ing conditions. It may also be due
at, “spring complaint" or, “Layers’
cramps" both of which have their
origin in faulty nutrition—E. C.

g A Word to Our Readers
RMERS and stockmen who read
. ' The Business Farmer are cor-
, dially invited to write whenev-
or they desire any information about
the markets, or when they have in-
.formation to offer regarding farm

matters in their neighborhood. Pro-n

'dictions as to the future are obvious-
ly more or less uncertain, but advice
is always cheerfully given when re-
quested. In a general way, it may
be said that until farm workers be-
come plentier and their wages are
considerably reduced it seems to be
advisable for farmers to avoid
branching out too much, and fewer
acres well cultivated and diversified
taming should bring in larger prof-
its than the old methods of a large
acreage devoted to grains. Many
farmers are endeavoring to grow
as much food for their families as
they can, instead of spending com-
paratively large amounts of money.
Every farm should have an orchard
of fruit trees, as Well as grape vines,
berry bushes and vegetable garden,
besides plenty of hens, some cows,
hogs and sheep. Fortunately, many
of our Michigan farmers are already
pursuing this course, with the best
of results. In parts of the country
where the land is level numerous
farmers who were unable to hire
helpers have been buying tractors.
The former ambition of owning
large tracts of farm lands has large-
ly died down, and theinilated war
time prices are no longer paid, ex—
cept in rare instances. Many farm-
ers are wondering how the move-
ment started by the federal govern-
ment recently to prevent wild specu-
lation in grain on the produce ex-
changes of the United States is going
to effect the market. Statements of
purchases and sales of grain futures
since May 1 are called for.
Rallies in Grain Prices

, Wheat prices for several weeks
followed a downward course, and
corn and oats sold lower, but they
declined less than wheat, while the
fall in prices for oats was still less.
Part of the fall in wheat was
brought about at the beginning of
May by extensive sales of speculat-
ors, who were taking their profits.
Since then some good advances have
taken place, with active speculative
and export buying, and smaller ad-
vances in corn and oats. Crop re-
ports are potential in» making prices,
and this is especially true of wheat.
Much importance is attached to the
fairly large exports of flour and
wheat from the United States and
Canada, and a few days ago a sale
of a cargo of new crop hard wheat,
the first such sale of the season, was
made at the Atlantic seaboard for
shipment to Germany. All along
Germany has been a large buyer of
rye in this country, yet our rye
stocks in sight are reported, as ag-
gregating 17,370,000 bushels, com-
paring with only 6,208,000 bushels a
year ago. Of late our exports of
corn and oats have been much less
than a year ago, but visible supplies
of both grains are much smaller
than at that time. Corn planting
is late because of the cold, wet
spring, and much uncertainty is felt
regarding the next crop. Wheat
continues to sell at much below
prices paid one and two years ago;
but corn is still selling much higher
than last year, and oats prices are
greatly lower. The sentiment in the
wheat market is that prices in the
coming crop year will be higher, but
this is looking considerably ahead.
'The trouble with corn is that it is
selling out of line with hogs at the
. present time, and many farmers talk
' of reducing their spring breeding.

been a marked increase in the con-

sumption of beef in this country,

and this has made a better outlet for
beef steers, cows and heifers; so that
it was possible to sell much increas-
ed supplies of cattle in the Chicago
market at finm, and even higher
prices, subject to temporary reac-
tions at times. Recent sales of
steers have been largely at $8.50 to
$10.25, with more sales at $10 to
$10.40 than at any previous time
since January. The best class of
steers brought $9.50 to $10.50, the
best yearlings selling at $9.25 to
$10.25, while common light weight
steers brought $7.15 to 7.75. Butch-
ering cows and heifers sold at $4.50
to $9.50, bulls at $4.50 to$8 and
calves at $5 to $11.50. Only a mod-
erate business was transacted in
stockers and feeders, but prices were
higher because of a very limited
supply, sales being made at $6 to
$8.75. Quality was demanded, and
good lots sold at $7.75 .to $8.50
mainly. A year ago common to
prime steers sold at $7 to $9.25.
Prospects for the iuture look prom-
ising.

Hogs Marketed Rapidly

There is a large demand in the
Chicago market for hogs on local
and shipping account, and despite
continued heavy receipts, the de-
cline in prices has beenrchecked, late
sales being as high as a week earli-
er, buyers paying $6.25 to $7.85,
mainly $7.30 to $7.80. Prime light
hogs topped the market, selling 15
cents above the best heavy butchers.
A year ago hogs sold at $9.50 to $11,
supplies at that time far exceeding
those at this time.
the Chicago market are mostly good,
and their average weight is 243
pounds. Combined receipts in sev-
en western markets for the year to
late ”date amount to 12,463,000 hogs,
comparing with 8,953,000 a year
ago, 9,608,000 two years ago and
10,354,000 three years ago. Furth—
er declines in prices are expected.
Advices from the country show
plenty of hogs left‘and anxiety on
the part of many stockmen to get
their holdings shipped to market.
The domestic consumption of lard,
fresh and cured hog meats continues
extremely large, and exports oi pro-
visions loom up big, especially of
lard, these far exceeding those of a
year ago. Still, the cold storage
stocks of provisions in this country
are growing rapidly, and are far
greater than a year ago.

Active Demand for Horses
Not enough of the higher grade
horses are coming on the Chicago
market to meet the present increas-
ing demand, and suitable. drafters
and chunks are .bringing $175 to
$225, with occasional sales at $250
to $275, and once in a while a sale
around $300. The heavier the
better the buyer is suited, the de-
mand being for horses weighing
from 1400 to 2,000 pounds. Infer-
ior horses are poor sellers around
$25 to $50. In the east many big
trucks are being 'replaced . with
horses, and recent sales have been
made of matched teams at $400 to
$500. A large part of the horses
offered sell singly for $100 to $150.
To a very large extent farmers have
ceased to raise even for their own
use.
Great Boom in Lambs
Insignificant Chicago receipts of
, spring lambs, clipped lambs and Col-
orado wool lambs have brought.
about sensational advances in prices
for everything that is fat, the offer-
ings falling greatly below the de-
mand. The spring is late. and;

there is ,a great can between as»: .

Farmers who are in the sheep indus-

Colorado wooled lambs advanced to
$17, while the best clipped lambs
brought $15.60, and California
spring lambs went to $17.50.

 

WHEAT

Trading was lifeless last week in
wheat and any attempt by bulls to
cause the market to-become active
and prices advance was met with a
flood of wheat that left dealers with

, more grain than they knew what to
do with. However, the market de-
clined only slightly as crop news
was of a bullish nature. The re—
ports from the majority of the wint-
er wheat producing states were that
the yield per acre will be under that
of last year by quite a bit, because
of poor stealing and thin fields and
these’reports were on the increase
as the week drew toa close. But in
spite of these reports the market did
not strengthen as the bulls expected,
giving the impression that the back-
ward condition of winter wheat had
been discounted. Dealers believe
the short promise will attract the at-
tention of the investor who will buy
and hold, compared with the present
purchaser who buys and then sells
as soon as he sees an opportunity to
make a small profit. The price of
wheat is low, compared with other
products, and must go up or other
commodities decline. During last
week the Detroit market advanced
3c and declined 1c leaving it 2c
higher than on the close of the pre-
vious week. .

CORN

The corn market traveled much
the same route as wheat during the

. past couple of weeks. Sales of corn

to arrive showed some increase but
domestic demand was slow and ex-
port trading .quiet. Receipts were
small. Corn planting is well under
way, and while the soil in some sec-
tions is too wet to work, in general
the ground is in good condition and
planting is going along rapidly. The
Detroit market shows a gain of 1c
over a week ago.

OATS ,

The oat market showed a loss for
the week. This was due to local
and commission house selling, bas-
ed on the easiness in other grains.
Oats finished last week 1c lower
compared to the week before, thus
being the only grain showing no ad-

vance.

POTATOES

If the old potato market is going
much lower it has shown no indica- '
tion during 'the past week or so.
The bottom may have been reached
as the shipments of old stock are
practically at a standstill. Few p0:-
tatoes are left at Northern Michigan
points and there is no indication
that the market will soften much
until the end. ‘

HAY

A firm tone has prevailed in the
market during the last couple of
weeks, owing to light receipts. While
shipments received on the markets
at some points are larger than they
were a week ago in general they are
not sufficient to take care of the dc;-
mand. Spring work is holding up

- recently stated in these columns the

three weeks centering on the sum-
mer solstice would be warm, we wish
to emphasise that the tow days
either side of June 23rd will be quiet
cool for the season" and tender
growth should be protected accord-
This does not contradict our

on the average for the three weeks.
To the century this should serve
as a warning, as a cool spell during

As this is a nice coo morning and
this snow storm has g t as best on
the bean proposition, we would like
to know whether the weather man
could help us out on what we could
plant to avoid the cold weather and
escape the hot, dry weather at blos—
soming time. The blight or hot,
dry weather stopped us raising
beans four or five years ago. Any
intormation Would be thankful to
get. There are about three inches
of snow on the level this morning
and still snowing—A. J. Rumbaugh,
Van Bure County, Mich.

—We 100 for a change in temper-
ature conditions beginning about the
second or third week in June. For
the balance of that month and run-
ning into July we look for warmer
weather than usual for this time of

year. ,

'l‘h’e rainfall will be heavier than
usual or, at least, plenty of it, ac-
cording to our figures. For this
reason your bean crop should be
planted on well drained land and we
believe your step will get a fair
start.

Late plantings will probably be
best this year as we figure the aver—
age temperature during blossoming
time (latter part of July) will be
normal to below. Therefore, blos-
soms will set and rapidly develop
into healthy bean pods.

Temperatures during the week

‘ from June 20 to 27 will average cool

and while are do not believe it will
develop into frost in your section,
we advise that you keep close watch

_of your thermometer, the sky and .

the wind.

TOO MANY FARMERS FOLLOW-s
ING RADICAL LEADERS
(Continued from Page 13)

of labor is only temporary and to

bring in foreign labor would not

only hasten unemployment but ac-
centuate the condition when it does
come.

We are too familiar with the evils
of emigration to reverse our present
policy of restriction. We already
have an immense population in this
country, a large part of it congested
in cities ranking among the largest
in the world- Our population is in-
creasing at a rapid rate and we
know too wellihe conditions of the
«people in over-populated countries
like India, China and Japan.

Times are very trying for the
farmer but we must remember we
are paying for the costliest war in
history and it’s not going to be easy.
The just complaint of the farmer is
that he is hearing much more than
his share .of the burden.

Labor unions by their powerful
organisations have been able to pre-
vent readjustment or any consider-
able reduction in wages. A large
proportion of the farmers have back-
ed up the unions in their attitude to
their own direct detriment.

The farmers have always been
noted at the great conservative class
-—'-too many of them new are follow-
ing radical leaders that will get
them nowhere hut lead them into
further diflculties. The farmers to
a large extent are bancoed by their
own self-styled leaders. I would ask
the am tamer what benefit he
has maimed tron all the legislation
