He sold for $91,100.00. Another point regarding the sale to exult over is that Michigan not only sold its cattle to the best ad- vantage, but Michigan breeders also headed the list as buyers. ’ Out of 111 head sold in the sale for $69,375.00, an average per head of $625.00, Michigan bought '41 head for $30,795.00, an average per head of “$751.00.

There certainly is nothing wrong with the Holstein industry of Micha- ‘igan when breeders have the courage to consign a large number of cattle that top the sale in average selling price, and also when upwards of half or the total number of animals sold. were bought into the state by Mish- igan buyers. The annual meeting on the day proceeding the sale days was marked by harmony throughout. The busi- ness was more or less routine. Im- p o r t a n t matters pertaining to amendment of the By-Laws were re- ferred to a committe for thorough study and for report at the next An- nual Meeting.

They de— mand some (painstaking work, which the committee upon type has so well performed. I recommend, therefore, that a committee be authorized to undertake this work. The subject which has received the most consideration during the past year has been extension work. Little had been done during the [pre- ceeding year because of lack of funds. The increase in the transfer fee, however, authorized at the an- nual convention in Kansas City last year made possible the taking up of this work in a broad and compre- hensive way. Cali club work has been xerward until it now radiates into all the dairy sections of the United States.

In order- to avoid duplication, we are co-op- crating closely, with the college of agriculture and with the local farm bureaus. We have proceeded on the theory that a county agent should be the actual head of all farm activ— ities within the county and our calf club work in the county therefore is made. in effect a sub division or the county farm bureau. The results already obtained show to my mind clearly that the calf club can be made a most effective agency in pro- moting the interests of the breed. High Records From Common Cows We, oi! course, believe in pressing the campaign for pure—bred sires. To that end, the chief feature of our ex- hibit at the National Dairy Show at St. Paul last October was the exhibit of the descendants of common cows where purebred sires were’ used. Among these cows were twolwhich had made records of 950 and 1,025 pounds of butter, respectively, under practical farm conditions. They aroused great interest and became , one of the most popular features of the show. We believe that no more ' effective way could be found of pro?- ing to the harem the value of pure- 3 bred sires than this ocular {lessons p - stration or what their offspring « would actually accomplish at the pail. These cows belonged to a cow» testing associatio . and they were also a dcmonstrat on of the value a! " ‘ (Continued on page 2.3) John G. Krauth, A Pioneer ITH a frontier residence in northeastern Mic h i g a n of twenty-three y e a r s, coming here from Minnesota with a band of sheep, a first-hand experience with a 'settler’s problem, in all its phases, leaving a lasting conviction on my mind as to the one course I should follow, and which I finally followed, in placing settlers upon cut—over land, well recognized for its fertility and diversity of crqps, there were many points in my favor as a starter. ‘ To start with, the fact must be ' recognized that stump land seldom ‘attracts home seekers with swollen wallets or near swollen wallets, not when‘they can so readily finance the purchase of improved land. Stump land is the last hope of a lean pursed Settler urged by a con— suming desire to possess his own fireside,——just as the lean in purse is the first and last hope of the possessor of stump land, and by the x a jungle, a fact lost sight of by many owners of .wild land whose terms call fora stiff down payment, and prompt yearly payments, regardless of cir- cumstances. Unless unimproved land owners display a real cooperative spirit with the home seeker, their land will not interest him. It is not helping the new settler by simply permitting his payments and interest to lapse. Unless he receives an occasional lift, with no Shylock’s toll attached, and in/‘Which the settler is secured by chattels, or by added improvements,,in most cases of a permanent nature, the land owner ,has killed hope in the settler, his very best asset, and by this. short’ sighted policy discour— aged other buyers, thereby injuring the whole community. There is nothing so depressing, so 'discouraging, so destructive to one’s lefliciency as a maturing debt on the v roof that shelters, with no prospect in sight for meeting it promptly, or even reasonably promptly, thereby jeopardizing all at the mercy of a creditor, who is likely to develop _ shark traits, or who perhaps habit— ually banks on misfortune for his harvest. In my early experience, I too, waited and watched for cash, or near cash buyers only, to storm the front door of my log shack in the brush, , but the rush failed to materialize. 'Day by day, I was absorbing the bitter lesson that you can’t connect 'a fat her near fat wallet with wild .land to farm. During this night sweating adven- ture, unpaid taxes grew.and grew “until they reached such a stage I 'was obliged to sprint like the old ,Harry in order to nose out the tax ‘itle sharks the last day of redemp— tion each year of my watching and waiting campaign.

Later on, a finer building will take its place, but it will not be more comfortable. There are no quick returns in the colonization or placing settlers upon stump land. It is a waiting game at best, but if properly managed and the agricultural conditions are favor”— able, which of course is understood, the returns are as sure as death and- taxes; furthermore, it is not a busi— ness to be directed from a swivel chair in some distant oflice.

A square/peg will no more fit a “round hole on‘ northeast Michigan’s farm land than elsewhere- Forty—acre sales were never,enr couraged. ./Every cleared acre, in northeastern Michigan should be backed by tWO to five acres of pas? ture. The settler that fails to cap- italize grass in northeastern Michi- gan is 'not‘farming just because he happens to live on a farm. Intend- ing settlers who could not visualiz'e the value of a good pasture, received ‘very little encouragement from me as our quota of square pegs is filled, with a waiting list. » In my method of encouraging set— tlers, they are not tied down to year- ly cash payments. They can, how— ever, if they so prefer, do so, or elect . in any year, to grow stipulated ~acreage of certified potatoes, grain, clover, alfalfa or vetch, for its seed value, with the understanding that the returns are to be applied on the purchase of the land. The amount received, be it large or very Small, is to represent the only payment re- quired the said year. A crop failure automatically postpones any pay— nent the said year, but as this has not happened in my time we do not look for it. to happen. “We” bank on the seed returns to dent the mort- gage, for my success is linked with that of the settlers. I never lose sight of the fact that the settler is .more important to my success than I am to his; but with him it is just the other way around, so naturally we lean on each other. Just as it should be. No settler is going to improve property purchased on time that is likely to slip away from him for de'-, _, linquent payments," during his trying farm from the; years of building a wilds. ‘ With the average settler, the. “ritiv~ cal stage arrives when his last ollar has been expended, for first payment I on land, (from five to ten per cent.)fy . for temporary shelter which Will serve for storage quarters for grain, machinery, with the bottom of,the flour barrel in sight, no crops to speak of the first year save a garden patch, and the livestock to be pro— vided for during the winter period, and no winter work near home that is dependable; the crisis has arrived. ‘There is but one glue-pot that will hold the settler to the land,-and that is credit. A short time loan on his 'personal effects at 12% or more, is not the proper glue. privilege ofrenewing several years, if necessary. ._ The first payment on land is loaned to the- settler for cows at 6% for one year, 'with, privilege of. re— newing annually for five years. If “ any reasonable financial assistance is required for seed, fencing, dynamite, or livestock, I feel it my duty‘to go to the rescue, notwithstanding the money I advance indefinitely at 6% may cost me 7%. It is this Coop- erative spirit that is so inspiring to the farm builder. A real business proposition even though the divi— dends are not just around the corner. It won’t do to say that poor set- « tlers are no help to a new country. This is all bunk.

The daily gain per steer of 2.77 pounds for the steers fed on normal silage, 1.99 pounds for the steers fed on stover steers silage, with some corn re— turned to it show without question the difference in the feeding value. The experiments conducted by the Department of Animal Husbandry of the College began December 22, 1922, and ended May 15 of this year. Twenty—seven steers were used in the feeding experiments, being divided into three lots of 9 each. The cattle fed were the second prize lot of feed— ers purchased at the time of the In- ternational Live Stock show last fall, the prize—winning carload of twenty costing $9.00 per hundredweight and seven other steers which had. been sorted from this carload previous to the show were bought at 8c, making , the cost of the carload about $8.60 in Chicago. Weighted into the feed lot at the College the cost was $9.36 per hundredweight. To produce one pound of grain it was necessary to feed lot 1: normal corn silage, 13.896 pounds; linseed meal, .759 pounds; clover hay .9270 pounds; shelled corn, 2.159 pounds. Lot 2 was fed the following tovmake a pound gain: 18.449 pounds of co‘i'n stover silage; 1. 55 pounds of linseed meal; 3.225 pounds of shelled corn; and 1.689 pounds of clover hay. Lots 1 and 2 received of the experiment. Lot 3 received the following amounts to produce one pound gain: 16.453 pounds of corn stover silage; linseed meal, .983 pounds; shelled corn, 4.439 pounds; clover hay, 1.573 pounds. The total amount of feed required to produce a pound of gain was smaller in all .three lots than last year., The total amount of feed con- »qumed in the 144 days by the three ltsawere: Let 1, 49915 pounds of. ignite, e g; silage. 27.28. pounds linseed meal, 7758 pounds of shelled corn, and 3330 pounds of clever hay; cost $295.29. Lot 2, 47673 pounds of corn stover silage, 2728 pounds of linseed meal, 8334 pounds of shelled corn, 4365 pounds of clever hay; cost $245.98. Lot 3, 45643 pounds of stover .corn silage, 2728 pounds of linseed meal. 12316 pounds" of shelled corn, and 4365 pounds of clever hay; cost $294.12. Lot 3 received an amount of shelled corn approximately equal to that removed from the stover silage they were consuming for the first 42 days and in addition to this the same amount as lots 1 and 2 for the last 102 days. ~To arrive at the cost of feeds the following prices were used; normal corn silage, $4 per ton; corn stover silage, $1.60 per ton; shelled corn, 70c per bushel; linseed meal, $60 per ton; clover hay, $10 per ton. And in spite of the fact that there was such a wide difference in the cost of normal corn silage and corn stover silage the steers fed on nor- mah silage returned a. profit of $5.30 per head, while both of’the other lots showed a marked loss, namely $5.35 per head for lots 2 and $9.02 per head for lot 3. \ ‘ The financial statement covering the experiments recently issued by the College does not include labor costs or interest 'and gives the total costs of the three lots as: Lot 1, $912.58; lot 2, $860.37; lot 3, $919.74. Hogs were run with the steers and were fed tankage worth $70 per ton in addition to what they were able to pick up. It cost $8.22 to produce a hundred pounds gain, not crediting pork produced, in lot 1, $9.52 in let 2 and $10.60 in let 3.

The shorter the planting season—the more essential that you use Polarine. WHY ? Because a tractor, being run for profit, undergoing hard use, simply cannot afl‘ord the piling up of damage and the waste incidental to wrong ‘lubrication. Polarine reaches and protects every friction point. The grade of Polarine indicated in the Chart as the correct lubricant for your machine has been determined scientifically after study of the oiling system in your particular make of tractor. bearings—piston clearance—all these factors have been considered. 9-89 Oolarine THE] PERFECT MOTOR, OlL Ma in Five Grades Polarine does not. break down. It maintains at working temperatures a com- plete oil film between piston and cylinder walls, avoiding “scored” cylinders and assuring perfect compression. Change your motor oil very frequently for greatest economy. ‘ ‘ Because Polarine is perfect in body it maintains the piston seal perfectly. ThismeansthatthegradeofPolarinewhichour stafi’ has re- commended for your tractor will correctly lubricate your machine, insure its satisfactory performance under all working conditions, prevent overheating of cylinders with the resulting radiator troubles. It is heavy enough to fluid friction. Polarine is a primary product or the Standard on Company (Indiana). It is manufactured by trained men in the finest refineries in the world. The high quality of Polarine is invariable and always maintained. POLARINE is made for you.

But the Jewish nation stubbornly plunged into captivity. Most of us have enough purity in our hearts and honesty in our purposes to sense the great Sins of our day. But we differ on how to cure them. Our fathers, intoxicated in the atmos- phere of their sew—tound freedom, dimmed on how to maintain seciel freedom. This was evidenced by the rules of restraint that obtained in some places as over against liberty of conscience in others. Briefly. of class and privilege: a liberty in which individualism flourished; Which was dive-cod 1mm righteousv . new and justice to all; and which through political manipulaiié'i"has brought about our national evils. And this is our national reproach.

And to m head-on for an- other spoll of unleashed..uragery. Why? Because treating the symp- toms of a disease will not cure it. We have been putting our trust in laws and court, in conferences and treaties which involved force and secret «Ramses. And our judgment "And this is the judg- me " said Jesus, “that we love darknesnrm than light because their deeds are evil." So shall it ever be u long as the principle of force ineteed - of social righteousness reigns in our political system. ‘Will we place our confidence in Jesus Christ and the norm on the Mont! ;I‘lien we me! have a social millen- um. “Why does not the West new otter 1900 years, try the experiment of founding a state on the teachings of its Christ?

' Aldousknew that he had more, to say, and he went with him a few steps beyond the camp. , And MacDonald continued in II low, troubled voice: "Be careful, Johnny. Watch yo’r- self. I’m going to take a look over into the next valley, an’ _I won’t be, back until late. It wEsn’t a goat, an’ it wasn’t a sheep, an' it wasn't a bear. It was two-legged!

Any- way. be on your guard while I look over into the next range.” With that he struck at in the di- rection of the snow-ridge, and for a few moments Aldous steed looking ‘ after the tall picturesque figure until it disappeared behind a clump of spruce. he was telling him- self that it was not the hunting sea- son, and that it was not a prospector whom they had seen on the snow- ridge. As a matter of caution, there could be but one conclusion to draw. The man had been stationed there either by Quads or FitzHugh, or both, and had unwittingly revealed himself. He turned toward Joanne, who had already begun to gather up the supper things. He could hear her singing happily, and as he looked she pressed a finger to her lips and threw a kiss to him. His heart smote him even as he smiled and waved a hand in response. Then he went to her. How slim and wonderful she looked in that glow of the setting— sun, he thought. ‘ How white and soft were her hands, how tender and fraglo her lovely neck! And how aelpless—how utterly helpless she ould be if anything happened to him and MacDonald! VVlth an of- fort he flung the thought from him. On his knees he wiped the dishes and pots and pans for Joanne. When this was done, he seized an aim and showed her how to gather a bed. This was a new and delightful exper- ience for Joanne. “You always want to cut balsam boughs when you can get them," he explained, pausing before two small trees. “Now, this is cedar, had this is a balsam. Notice how prickly and needlelike on all sides these cedar branches are. And now look at the balsam. The needles lay flat and soft. Balsam makes the best bed you can get in the North, except moss, and you've got to dry the moss.” For fifteen minutes he clipped oi! the soft ends of the balsam limbs and Joanne gathered them in her arms and carried them into the tepee. Then he went in with .hor, and showed her how to make the bed. -He made it a narrow bed, and a deep bed, and he knew that Joanne Was watching him, and he was lad the tan hid the uncomfortable glow in his face when .he had finished tucking in the end of the last blank- et. “ “You will be as cozy as can be in that,” he said. “And you, John?" she asked, her face flushing rosily. “I haven‘t seen another tent for you and Don- ald.” , “We don't sleep in a tent du the summer,” he said. “Just our blankets—out in the open.”_ “But—if it should rain?“ “We get under a balsam or o spruce or a thick cedar." A little later they stood beside the fire. It was growing dusk. The distant snow-ridge was swiftly fad- ing into a pale and ghostly [sheet in the gray gloom of the night. ,1” that ridge Aldous knew that Mae- Donald was toiling. Jeanne put her hisv - fire,” he said. ’ “I didn’t‘let you come,” he laugh- ‘ ed softly, drawing her to him. “You came!” _ . “And are you sorry?” “No.” ' _ It was deliciously sweet to have her tilt up her head and put her soft lips to his, and it was still sweeter when her tender hands sin-oked his cheeks, and eyes and lips smiled their love and gladness. He stood stroking her hair, with her face lay- ing warm and close against him, and over her head he stared into the thickening darkness of the spruce and cedar copsos. had piled wood on the fire, and in its glow they were dangerously illum- inated. \With one of her hands she was still caressing his cheek. “When will Donald return?” she asked. V “Probably not until late,” he re- pliod, wondering what it was that had set a stone rolling down the side of the mountain nearest to them. “He hunted until dark, and may wait for the moon to come up before he returns.” - “John—-—-” "Yes, dean—J And mentally he measured the distance to the nearest clump of timber between them and the mountain. "Let’s build a big fire, and sit down on the pannier canvases." v His eyes were still on the timber, and he was wondering what a man with a rifle, or even 'a pistol, might do at that space. He made a good target, and MacDonald was probably several miles away. - “I’ve been thinking about the “We must put it out, Joanne. There are reasons why we should not let it burn. For one thing, the smoke will drive away: any game that we may hope to see in the morning.’.’ ' _ Her hands lay still against his cheek. “I—understand, John,” she repli- ed quickly, and there was the small- est bit of a shudder in her voice. “I had forgotten. We must put it out!" Five minutes later only a few glowing embers remained where the fire had been. He had spread out the pannier canvases, and now he . seated hunself with his back to a tree. Joanne snuggled close to him. “It is much nicer in the she whispered, and her arms reach: ed hp about him, and her lips press- ed warm and soft against his hand. “Are you just a little ashamed of me, John?” " "Ashamed? Good heaven " “Because,” she interrupted him, “we have knoWn each other such a very short time, and I have allowed myself to become so very, very well acquainted with you. It has all been so delightfully sudden, and strange, and I am—just as happy as I can be. You don't thing it is im- modest for me to say these things to my husband, John—even if I have only known him three days?” He answered by crushing her so closely in his arms that for a few moments afterward she lay helpless- ly on his breast. gasping for breath. his brain was stars with the joyous madness of possession. Never had woman come to man more sweetly ,than Joanne had come to him, and as he felt her throbbing and trembl- ing against him he was ready to rise up and shout forth a challenge to a hundred Queries and Culver Ranns hiding in the darkness of the moun- tains. For a long time he held her nestled close in his arms, and at in- tervals there were silences between them, in which they listened to the glad tumult of their own hearts, and the strange silence- that came to them fro out of the still night. It their first hour alone—of utter Oblivion to all else but them- selves; to Joanne the first sacrament __ hour of her wifehood,‘ to him the first houref perfect possession and understanding. In that hour their souls, became one, and when at last they’rose'to their feet, and the moon chine up over a crag of the‘mountain and flooded they in its golden light, there wasin Joanna’s face a tender». “ a gentle glorythat made , us a! 9n ‘ , J oanno herself , dark,” ~ .notto. s'l .wa Hep > . rho .k satiewn it across has“ "the deep. black of‘a spin and waited and listened for the sen: ing of Donald macnonald.

" tween the camp and the cluan ' timber that lay in the direction", of the nearest mountain. After Joanne had blown out her candle the silence of the night seemed to grow deeper 3 about him. The hobbled horses had. wandered several hundred yards away, and only new and then could he hear the thrilled-o hoof, ortho . clank of a steel shoe on rock.

I‘ve often wondered what a home could be like without the little ones in it. An' yet I find that many of our young friends are gittin' married “with just one idea—“No babies for , us.

He found himself whistling with a very light heart as she braided her hair and afterward plunged her face in a bath of cold water he had brought from the lake. From that bath she emerged like a glowing Naiad. Her. eyes sparkled. Her cheeks were pink and her lips full and red. ~ Damp lit- tle tendrils of hair clung adorably about her face and neck. For an- other full minute Aldous paused in his labors, and he wondered if Mac- Donald was watching them from the clump of timber. The bacon was sputtering when Joanne rah to it and rescuedit from» burning. Dawn followed quickly after that iirst break of day in the east, but not until one could see a full rifle- shot away did MacDonald return to camp. Breakfast was waiting, and as seen as he had finished the old hunter went. after the horses. It was flve‘o'clock. and’ bars of the sun were shooting over the tops of the mountains when once more they were in the saddle and on their way.

The proof of MacDonald's predich tion concerning Joanne was in evi- dence this second night. Every bone in her body ached. and she was 'so tired that she made no objection to going to bed as soon as it was dark. “It always happens like this," consoled old Donald, as she bade him good-night. “Tomorrow you’ll begin to get broke in and the next day you won’t have any lameness at all.” (Continued in July 7th issue) _ inach SQ goin’ to do when the years count up onto fem an’ they begin to git old an gray?

A “sale and ease Fourth” is all right and we heartily endorse At, but it should well be remem- bered by some elders that this day of all the national holidays is o day of celebration—a day when we ought to be proud of the old flag and all that it stands for which is good. upright. and red- blooded. There are enough days in the year when we can curb the ybunger generation and tell them to be quiet, but this is the one day when they should be allowed to make all of the noise they want to and have ell‘tho fun possible. To deprive a boy or girl of o (mp-pistol, a peck- sge of small firecrackers, and some torpedoes with which to frighten Aunt Molly half out of her skin, would be curbing something which we like to point to in our men and women as distinctly American. There is a class of blue-nosed individuals in America who would prohibit anything that brought ten to the heart at a child or o smile to theiaco of a grown-up. Unfortunater they are the ones who are promoting the “Safe end Sm Fourth."

AOOLDBEASON. 0M all appearances the month of June is running s race with May to break all local weather records in the matter of average cold temperature. Everything in Michigan and the nearby states is from two to three weeks retarded in growth. and not one—half of the corn planting was coin- pleted immchigan within two weeks of the tine the seed is usually in the ground. Reports come from several sections where replanting was neo- essery because of the continued cold, wet weather. Wheat and rye are in only fair condition. Oats are very backward; The growth is short and in Michigan and Wisconsin the crop is poor.~- flay alone has shown a great improvement during the post twonee-ks, and postures throughout Mich- igan are in good shape. The, condition of the fruitisslsoveryencomnglngosthiskiudofo season does not mitigate “not the productivity and quantity of orchards and vines. Taken all in all there is nothing to be nos-tics- larly discouraged about in the crop reports from ‘ Michigan and with higher prices which we fully anticipate this fall, the farmers of Michigan shouldgeceive a great many million dollars more tor their products than they did last year, even VWtbeeeentity whiehtheysreehiotoharva “nunotbeoslorgeasiset. normal; an» economics ‘ Wet or Ware in m, Ir. ." mLtmanmmosrmmm cummnmmnnmm peat erfl. and economics.‘ m to him “1- nt the whine-1‘ ~. ~ . .. to Wheaten i g that the soil in productivity 5 per cent.

HANDS on mm moms? memos is facing agricultural suicide as a re- sult of the loss of man pew on our forms, says Senator T. E. Caraway, Democrat, of end he points out that the large num- b« of tens folks going to the city is bound to bring o food shortage which will send the prices of agricultural products sky high at the expense of the public! This isnotexaetlys newdiscovery. We have been pointing out for upwards of a year that the inevitable result ‘of the migration of country folks to the city factories could result in only one con- dition and that was a shOrtage of food products and a consequent rise in prices, which we have hoped would put the ta.er back on an equal basis witkhiscityconsinin net mings. Senator Caraway, like some other misguided senators. would have the government step in at this time and fix farm prices so that the public would be rotected. He claims that it would be tethebenedtofthetarmerandyegltisourob—r servation, that when the government steps in. practical business profits step out, and we believe that the farmer is today suflering more from mis- ’ guided leadership and government interference Elan he is from o lack of market for his product. ' There is a law which mates-with the some precision and is as unvnrying as the: of gravita- tion. That law is the low or supply and demand. The farmers of America are about to step into their own after two or three of the most depress- ing yours in their history. They are going to step ins thk period of prosperity if the govern- ment and those who claim to represent the farm— er will adopt the poliq oi “Hands Oil!” We has. not noticed during the past two or three yours that the government has been partic- ularly active in keeping down the prices paid to union labor, the brick-layer, plasterer, carpenter; plumber. railwayman or factory worker? Arkansas is an agricultural state, not of very great importance, but still there mould be enough farmsrodm there to ask Senator Caraway-to leave thing: alone and let the farm work itself out without political assistance. This same advice might be passed along to the senators of one or more states adjacent to, Arkansas. JOMGILAGANDEOPM.

Some of her first poems ap- peared exclusively in The Business Farmer and marked the begmning of her popularity with the verse—loving public. Her poems now appear daily in‘ a large number of American news- papers, where they are eagerly ' awaited. Herself "a typical American mother, Anne Campell’s poems come from the very heart of the home, of- times mingle a tear with a chuckle: _ and are as tender and pure as her own three babies whom she adores. ‘ N , GANNING CLUB WORK Barbara Van Heulen, Assistant State ’ Club Leader ’ YERY' girl is a potential home- maker. As such she should . hold as her ideal, perfection in . every phase of home—making. Much concerning the standards of the . housekeeper is told by a peep into 'her canning and preserving cup- board, for well filled shelves indicate not only a general pride in all phases of household duties, but a regardfor the health and consequent happiness .of'the family. The canning club of- fers to a girl the double opportunity to learn this type of home work in a pleasurable and scientific way, and at the same time to relieve her moth- er of some of the busy season’s du- ties. Canning, drying and brining are the principal methods resorted to in the preservation of food stuffs; of ' these, canning is the most desirable, for it keeps the products in acondi- tion more like that of food' freshly cooked, and furthermore, ready to be served on short notice. The One-Period Cold—Pack method of canning, which is considered the 'Abest and safest. for all meats, vege- ; V bios and fruits, is outlined in the 'ulletin for the use of the canning lib members.

First, vegetables constitute our main mineral supply for they contain many mineral salts such as iron, cal- cium and phosphorus, which' are needed by the bones, muscles, nerves . and blood. Second, many of them contain vitamins which promote growth, pro- tect us against such diseases as scurvy and some nerve disorders, and which help to prevent general. malnutrition. Third, the cell walls of the vege- table are bulky, and they increase our bodily efilciency by the laxative action which they induce. Spinach, turnip tops, young car- rots and tomatoes rank high among the vegetables, for canned as well as dried fresh, they fill some essential diet requirements. ’THE USES OF FRUITS“ THE' BET AND in hand with vegetables in H our'diet plans go fruits. They yield mineral salts for proper- functioning of the blood, and their acids stimulate the digestion of the rest of our food. Their color lends attractiveness to the meal, and they make ideal simple desserts. Since vegetables and fruits are so necessary to our diet needs, we should so plan our meals that we have at least some fruit and a gen- erous serving .of vegetables other than potatoes, at least once a day. Furthermore since it is not econom- ical to buy’lrenh products through- out the year, we must try to can, dry or otherwise preserve then preced- ing the eight months during which the high prices prevail. GANNING EQUIPMENT 1. Hot Water-Bath Outfit: A home-made outfit may be made by using a washboilerp a new garbage pail,alardpail,atlnpailoranyoth— er receptacle with a tight fitting cov- er, deep enough to permit the water to stand at least one inch oven the top of the jars. A falsehottom or rack should be made to fit the can- nor. as to permit free circulation of water beneath the jars. It should keep the jars one inch from the bottom of the canner. For a wash-boiler, the simplest rack is made of strips of lath with cleat nailed across the under side of each end. Attaching a small piece of iron will aid material- ly in weighing down the wooden frame. For round corners a false bottom may be- made by punching holes in an 0 tin kettle or cake tin. , Avoid using straw or towels in the bottom, which will notth water to 'circulate under jars. In using this type of canner the water should be heated before thefilled jars are put in place. If the cover for your canner does not fit tightly, place a cloth over the cancer and press the cover over this. with boiling water. . a. v Steamers: ’Any steamer which maintains a temperature equal to that of boiling water _;nay;_.8nccessful- ,., ed- ass cannot. . Be the steamer is practi This should be so constructed . If the water boils ' away during the processing,‘ replace ~ mar - pressure, Therefore the time V for Eocessing products in these cookers the same as that required for hot water bath outfits. and the process- ing time is counted FROM THE MIARES THE LIQUID BOILS IN THE ANTS NTS are attracted by various ' foods substances, especially fats ' and sugars; 'therefore, these foods should be kept in closed con- tainers and crumbs or small amounts spilled on shelves or tables cleaned of! at once. The most effective way of ridding a house of ants is to find and destroy the nest by treating it with carbon bisulphid, benzine, gasoline or kero— sene, or, if the nest itself cannot be found, often times the ants may be traced to the opening or crack through which they enter. Squirt- ing kerosene into it or plugging it -with cotton saturated with the oil will in many cases drive them away. A temporary expedient for con- trolling ants is tor moisten small sponges with sweatened water and place themvwhere the ants are most numerous. Attracted by the sugar they will crawl into the sponge and may be killed by dropping into boil- ing water. The sponges should be baited again with the sweetened wat— er, and if necessary, set in different places until the colony leaves the house. A move effective but also more dangerous method is to moisten the spongue with sirup made by dissolv- ing \one pound of sugar in one quart of hot water and adding 125 grains (about 1,4 ounce) of arsenate of soda. Some of these ants apparent- ly carry this poisoned liquid back to the nest and feed it to the others there, as gradually killing the en— tire col ny. This mixture must be used with the greatest of care, as it is, poisonous to both. human beings and domestic animals. . . :— Mothcro Problems SUMMER SLEEP -_/’ UMMER—TIME spelles vacation- time, rest-time, recreation—time. It should mean a- glorious per- iod _ of growth, of body—building. During the months of freedom from school, every child should prepare himself for the next period of study and confinement. Fall should find every child in better condition ically than when school_ closed the long vacation. But does fall find all the children ‘fit?" It does not. Hundreds of children rota]: to school in Septem- ber worn out and run down by their summer vacation. . What is the cause of this? Many, many times the answer is: “Insuffic— ient sleep." Children require as much sleep in summer as in winter, but many, who. do not get so much by from one to three hours. If much earlier rising is in order, why, the/bed-tlme hour for the young. growing child‘ I should be set ahead. Daylight-sav- ing, as practiced in certain commun- , v ities.» is, very, very detrimental to the health of children, inasmuch as it ., many are the children ‘ .water tint on walls. if the tint iquuit'o children should be required to take 3 an afternoon nap duringthe' m' m’er when hot evenings may make - a advisable to remain up aftertho; re . .

IWo HanBredHeI-eiodsfiilool‘fl , AN IDEAL CERTIFIED DAIRY ‘ FARM" - ‘ ‘ ’ RE“ is .a certified“ dairy farm near Rochester, New _ York, , which is uniquointhe degree to which intensified dairy farming may be successfully carried on. The 41 grade cows, giving on theaverage of 2% gallons per day, are kept in the stabloAhroughout the season. The» farm consists of 220 acres, of. which 45 acres are given over to silage com, 50 acres towinter wheat, 35 acres to hay, and 15 acres to pota- toes. ,. There _ are 40 acres of woods, 5 of which are given ‘ovq- to pasture and there are 14 acresegiven over ’to rotated pasture. Silage and hay furnish the roughage during the summer, while grain is fed throughout the season. With the extreme intensity used it is not economical to raise an. young stock. for every cowin the barn must, be a producer. Under these conditions, grade cows are best adapted for as soon as there is a decline in her milk production the cow may be promptly sold without great loss. The equiv- alent of 3% men is required to oper- ate this dairy. ‘ ‘ Dairy farmers who are. interested in certified milk plants will find much to study at the National Dairy Exposition which takes place at Syracuse, New York, October 5th to 13th inclusive. The exhibit of the United States Department of Agri- culture will occupy 7,500 sq. ft. Factory and machinery exhibits will be displayed on a floor space approx- imately 65,000 sq. ft., while 25,000 sq. ft. of floor space will be occupied by the exhibit of supplies and equip- ment for the dairy and barn. An added feature ofrinterest in the Exposition this year is the World’s Dairy Congress which holds two days' sessions at Washington, October 2nd and 3rd, followed by a day at Philadelphia under the aus- pices of the National Dairy Council, then adjourning to Syracuse where the remaining sessions of the Con? gress will be held at the Exposition. RAMSEY AND BAKER HEREFORD SALES « W0 most important Hereford sales were held week before last. One was held by Warner Ramsey‘ of Atherton and the other by Robert Baker of St. Clair, both sales being conducted under the very ’ able direction of T. F. B. setham and Sons. The Ramsey sale was held on Thursday, June 7th, and the offer- ing was composed of 35 head of high quality Herefords. The high price paid was $260 and the lowest $85 ‘After the sale there was a wienie roast and moving pictures at the Ramsey farm cottages on Lake Hur- on. Those who wished remained at the Ramsey farm throughout the night. Many did this and then drove to the Baker sale on Friday. There were 35 head sold at the Bak- er sale, $277.50 being the top paid and $60 the lowest. The attend- ance was only fair at both auctions but all were there to buy. At both places before the sales interesting and instructive talks were given by 'I‘. F. B. Sotham, Commissioner of Agriculture L. Whitney Watkins, Prof. George A. Brown head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, 'M A. C., and Col. Fred Reppert, who cried the sales. Lunches of 7 Eariiripe beef were served at both places. ______a._____ CREAM SHOULD TEST 85 PER CENT OR MORE Will you please tell me at what testing point is there the most money in Cream for the'farmer who does sell" his cream to the creamery, and why? Some say when cream tests from 25 to 35 per cent there is the most in‘ it for the farmer, others say trom‘SE to 50 per cent. I am very much interested and would like to know at exactly what point—.W. H. I... Balding, Mich. -—From a general standpoint it is decidedly in the farmer’s fa separate (ream that tests (35 per cent or above. The reasons are as fol- 2nd. It is better to astral-it‘s: cream at 85‘per‘ cent instead or low-3" or because there is more skimmilk' left on the farm. " 1 3rd. There is not so many pounds. . to ship and to pay express or freight (f on. Then, too, we findthat 85‘ per cent cream is a little better than a; cream that only contains 20 per cent- butter fat.—.—O. E. Reed, Professor {1 of Dairy Husbandry, M. A. 'C. “ ‘ sum: IN CREAM SEPARATOB/ I have some cows that have been fresh for some time. Milk seems all right only when I wash the separator it is so slimy can hardly get it out of the dishcloth. It goes through a strainer all right. What is the" cause and is there a cure?—W. S., Morley, Mich. . . l .- —We get the idea that the milk is I not slimy when drawn and the Blithe ' is difiicult to remove from the ator. I know only a few things that could cause such conditions. First, that the separator bowl has been standing in the sun and 'is hot at the time the milk is run through or that \the slime is allowed to dry on the bowl. In the case the milk is. slimy before drawn, the cow is evi- dently suffering from some added in- flamation or the milk has become contaminated with the ropy milk organism. Be sure to scald the separator bowl thoroughly after washing and wash bowl after ,each separation. All utensils should be thoroughly scalded, especial care be- ing given to the. seam8.——P. 8.

They are growing nicely and apparently doing well with the exception of one thing. _ They seem, to have a sort of eczema inside the flaps of their ears, this does not run into the canal of the ear but seems to seat in the inside of the flaps of ears and also slight signs of the malady appear directly along the back bone and around the roots of tail. It looks very much like dirt and dirt scabs and has a tendency to crack. They are beded in oat straw and have free run and are not in muddy place. Sow shows no signs of this disease and it is her first litter and she had 12 and raised 10 and is in good condition—7F. D. .M., Cedar Springs. ' —In all probability these page, are suffering frOm a squamous eczema; sometimes called “soot of young pigs." This form of eczema is us- ually seen in pigs which are kept in; unsanitary quarters. I would sug— gest the application of zinc oxide ointments to the affected parts once daily, usually two or three applica- tions will suffice—John P. Hutton, Assoc, Prof. of Surg. and ’Med., M. A. C. MARE SUFFERING FROM TUMOR I have a valuable brood mare that has something wrong with her throat and has been troubled for a year. - I , thought it washer mouth and I have had two diiferent veternarys look at her and her mouth is all right.

The eian men we had in the field; pitching and load— ing eornstalks, prior to the use of these mechinesyhave: been. eliminated. The saving at twine is also a big? item. ‘ The harvester cuts the corn into- silage in the field and elevates it into high board wagons and thus entirely does away with all handling, ' oi the corn bundles. When one box is filled, another wagon drives up.- and the filled one Is hauled into the silo, into which the silage is blown, / Another. advantage is that the com in the term 01 silage is taken away as it is harvested. which is far ahead of the’ old method oi. having corn bundles left in the field to become wet ,snd dirty. The corn does not touch the ground. to mix with dirt; : the sun has no chance to dry it otter : it is cut; when operations cease for thovnoon hour, or a shower of. raih, the field is clean.

They have moat scraps,‘ milk and dlierent grains tooat but they eat ehc‘h other. sometimes they begin in the thigh and around the vent and pick so the intestines drag on the ground. They 'are Rhoda '13- land Roda—0. H. (3., Manton, Mich. -—The form of Canaballsm-that is, appearing among your neighbors flocks is not uncommon. The trouble originates where individuals in the flock develop a condition known as Inversion of the Uterus due to the strain of production, or it may be Inverslor of the Cloaca caused by in- testinal parasites. This reddened area attracks the birds and once the hens get a taste of blood this trouble may become quite prevalent. It is usually a good practice-to give the whole flock Epsom salts at the rate of one pound per hundred hens. If the trouble is induced by constipation, the salts will-usually reduce the mortality and if there are one‘ or more individuals in the flock that appear to be straining one of these birds should be killed and dia- gnosed for intestinal worms. The worms will usually be found in the Ceca or in the intestinal tract. Oil of American worm seed and turpen- tine using one teaspoonful of each to every tweIVe birds, is recommended for this latter trouble. ‘Epsom salts should immediately follow this treat- ment and lime should be liberally 'used on the dropping boards two or three days following—E. C. Fore- man, Associate Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C. FIRELESS BROODERS HE flreless brooder is very useful in its place. Chickens have been rulned by it thru the lack of thought of their owner, and chick— ens have been saved by it. For ex- ample, one over—anxious amateur piled the blankets on top of her fire- less, and when a plaintive cheep dis- terbed her rest at night, she found the chicks wet with their own breath under the weight and warmth of the blankets. Another lady used felt to cover the top of her brooder,. and thus shut out ventilation. Fireless breeders are meant for small groups of chicks. They must not be over- crowded. For the small brood they have a place to fill. We like the round cheese box. It will hold fifteen chicks nicely, has no corners and is easy to work with. If a square box is used, the corners should be rounded with heavy card- board. (Some types of smooth roof- ing, if it does not smell, are hseful.) Tin may also be used, but the sharp edges must be folded down if this is used. A tomato tin with edges turn- ed is about the rlgh size. The idea of the fireless brooder' is to make a temporary mother. Chicks like to feel the warmth and pressure ' on their backs of their mother’s breast. The flreless substitute is a box with a. few holes cut for ventila- tion just below the pad, and a sag- ging cheese—cloth on top on which are placed according to the weather, pads of old wool blankets or light comforters of cheese—cloth padded loosely with cotton as a baby’s quilt is made. ,This retains the chick’s own body heat and gives ventilation. The cheesecloth is shaped to .fit the box, and is preferably held In place by a wire running around the out- side of the box, with its ends looped together. The principle is the same as tying a cloth on a bottle, but the cloth bags in the middle. Cleats on the inside of the box are placed there to hold the pad up. Some people put a hem in the cheesecloth,” and run the wire thru this like a draw- string. Then the wire ls placed on the cleats and fastened securely, “making as.lt were a mattress resting on.the cleats. This brooder is placed inside a box enough larger to give the chicks some runway in front. The twO are kept in the house. When ready to flee, the floor of the brooder is cover- ed for an inch or two with clover or alfalfa chaff, hollowed out in the center like a nest.

USE ’Po'rn'ro FEELINGS _FOR SEED PURPOSES . 4A few, maybe fourdears ago, we got some Seed potatoes, mostly small cuttings and peelings of, Petoskey ' V .russets with a few white potato peel- yin‘gs- mixed in. We experimented with these and saved the seed until five have raised several crops from it. The first cropdid not get ripe before it was ' frost biten. Since then we had several crops, sometimes fair, sometimes not so good. Never on thetbest of potato ground. Several times they have been blight stricken. Last year’s crop was hit by both frost and blight. The potatoes are it): very poonquality. They are small ,, size. From this description would- you advise they could be planted again and expect them to yield good and be a better quality potato if giv- en better soil and better care? What Would the certified Petoskey russets cost per bu.? Also state name, and price on some earlier potato it you cam—0. E. W., Wilmot, Michigan. '—Under field cbnditions it is never satisfactory to use potato peelings for seed purposes. It is true that under ideal soil conditions such as might be maintained in a well culti- vated garden that fair yields can oft- entimes be secured by planting ' e' peelings to which are attached small pieces of potato with eyes. It' is recommended that under field condi- tions, seed pieces average at least 1% to 2 ounces in weight; and that they be cut blocky or compact so that they will not dry out quickly in the soil. Every seed piece should have at least one or two strong eyes. I would recommend that you sve- cure a new lot of seed this year, pre- ferrahly seed that was certified in 1922. Such seed was grown under very careful cultural conditions and was inspected twice during the grow— ing season by men trained in potato diseases. It was also inspected in the bin for uniformity of size, true- ness to type, freedom from scab, etc. The planting of certified seed is a very good form of potato crop insur- ance since it has been proven by many demonstrations and tests in Michigan as well as in other states that certified seed outyields uncerti- fied stock by approximately 60 bush. els per acre. Furthermore, the quality of the product grown from certified seed is ordinarily far super- ior to that grown from common pota- l toes. I“ if? r 'v /' No doubt the poor yields that you have been securing from your pota- toes is due to the fact that your po- tatoes are "infested" with diseases known as mosaic, or leaf roll which live over from year to year in the seed and produCe inferior yields of poor quality. ‘ Certified seed can be procured at 'a very reasonable price and this is an unusually good opportunity to invest in this high .class seed. It is doubt- ful if the seed will be as low priced another season. You can procure certified seed of the Late Petoskey ’(Russet Rural.) variety from the Seed Department of the Michigan State Farm Bureau, Lansing, Michi-’ gan or from the Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange, Cadillac, Mich. These two organizations are the 0111— cial selling- agencies for Michigan Certified Seed Potatoes; . For an early potato I would re- commend the Irish Cobbler variety. Certified seed of this variety can be secured from .the Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange, Cadillac. The price of certified Cobblers is approx- imately $1.75 per bushel f. o.‘ 1)., shipping point, that of the Russet 3W3 is approximately $1.25..per saline} for small lots—41.- o.

FOOTE ' MERS who own their farms clear from mortgages are much more hopeful than a year ago, but they realize that many things can happen to the crops and unusual interest is. felt in the corn crop of the great corn belt. The most im~ portant recent event in Michigan is ' the permanent organization of the Michigan Fruit Growers, Inc.,»a state fruit exchange, with headquarters to be opened at once. Delegates from twenty-seven fruit shipping as- sociations in western Michigan were appointed to attend the meeting in Benton Harbor. The boom in prices ' for Spring lambs aflects one of the leading Michigan industries, as does the animated demand for spring wool clips. Wool is being contracted in the west largely at 45 to 50 cents a pound and northern California wool is going on the market as high as 55 cents. There is a lively call in the range country for breeding ewes, but most of them are held 0! the market for future breeding. The domestic trade of the country is ex- tremely large, while the foreign trade of the United States shows the balance of trade? against us. Total merchandise experts for the five months ending with May were valued at $1,628,175, 477, while the imports Were valued at 1,765,757,586, show- ing :a balance against us of $137,- 582,109. The total net imports of gold and siIVer for the live months amounted to $91,241,685. The 5total meohandise and gold and silver bal- ance against us Was $228,823,744. ‘ L‘Stockma‘n have good reason to seal encouraged over recent sharp ad- vances of prices tor cattle, hogs and sheep, due to materially reduced re- ceipts in the Chicago market. VVlth- in a Week prime hogs advanced 50 cents, while prime spring lambs went from $1d.85 to $16.35, and cattle rose as much as 25 to 50 cents. Wheat Trade Broadens For several weeks the volume of speculative business in wheat and other grains on the Chicago Board of Trade has shown a marked falling off, but recently trade in wheat has broadened out, and prices have been sensitive to crop reports. The buy- lug side .of wheat has been more fav- ored much of the time, and fair ad— vances have taken place on some days, prices at last having risen higher than a year ago. Corn, how- ever, was in the strongest position of all the cereals, 'due to the disap- pearance of the greater part of the . corn in sight and a good demand. A Well—informed newspaper man with agricultural experience who is back from an automobile trip through the com districts of :Illinois, Indiana. and Iowa, says that do about every place in these states farmers and grain dealers reported no corn left for :He added that ‘in many places where at .this .time .of the year about 10 per cent of the corn is usually left, they are shipping it 'in to asset the feeder demand. There is a great deal of grinding going on by owners of attrition mills, the us- ual mixture :being about three parts oats and one ,part «corn. The feed- ers claim, however, that this does not make a satistactory substitute The ‘foreign de— mand for American wheat and flour has been much greater than a year ago, .while exports of corn are un- usually small as are those of oats. A short time ago the visible corn sup- ply in this country was down to around 4,000,000 bushels, compar-' "ing with 30,313,000 bushels a year ago. That o'f oats wa about 11,— 000,000 bushels, comparing with 47,272,000 bushels a year ago; and that of rye 16,000,000 bushels. doom- ,“ corn planting has been an- , antennas... them.~watm at sagfiiyfie null; . corns’o - poems with 4,568,000 bushels last I ,mos Ire-mot" scannerscmuar _ , « Wheat easy after sharp decline on menu: on client.

Choice Cattle Sell High The general employment of labor at the highest wages ever known tends to increase the demand for the choicer cuts of beef, and the better offerings of beef «cattle have been selling extremely high at times when the numerous lots of light weight grassy cattle were slow at weak prices. Last week’s Chicago re— ceipts of cattle fell much short of those for the preceding week and for the corresponding week last year, and a. normal local and shipping de- mand brought abOut advances .in the. greater part or the consignments, al- though the best beevos tailed this time to show the rise that took place in the principal part of the steers. Prime heavy steers sold at $11 to $11.25, and choice yearlings brought $10.50 to $11.25. A liberal share of-the steers found buyers at $9 to 811, good lots going at $10 and up- ward, medium 'to good- steers at $8.75 to $9.05 and common to lair steers at $8 to $8.70, while inferior little steers sold for $5 to $7.90. Butcher com and heiiers sold re- spectively at $4 to $8.130 for the former and $6 to $10 for .the latter, while canner and cutter cows «went at $2 to $3.95 and bulls at $3.50 to $8.50. Calves found an outlet at $5 ‘ to $11, and there was a limited call for inferior to choice stockers and feeders at $5.50 to $8.75, largely at $6.25 to $7.75. The best feeders were hard to find and were held at higher figures. Looking backward, it is recalled that a year ago the best beef steers sold at $0.75, two years ago at $9.15 and five years ago at $18. , Rally in flog {Prices Following the recent numerous declines in prices brought about by the largest markstings ever seen in corresponding weeks in past years, the receipts fell off to such an extent that sellers were able to obtain sev- eral advances, the demand being bet- ter. As usual, Monday is the day of much the largest supplies in the market, and the opening d! the week is almost certain of lower prices. There is little that .is new .in the .hog industry, and everybody knows that early estimates of the supply in hog growing districts were far :too rlow. It is possible, .of nouns, that market- ings will doll so! so snob an m as to bring about a higher scale at prices, but such large supplies as have been offered in recent weeks can hardlydail 'to lower salues. There has been a marked narrowing of prices of late, and both :prime light and the best heavy butcher hose sold at top prices. More hogs than us— ual have been received in eashern packing points of late, and this ex- plains the smaller purchases made in the Chicago market .by eastern shippers. A great many hogs ’ light weight are going to market be- cause owners fear further reductions in prices, and most stock feeders are .not disposed to hold their bags. alter they weigh 200 pounds. Relatively low prices favor consumption of hog pro-ducts, fresh and cured, and 'ex- ports of lard and cured hog meats continue for heavier than a year ago. The stocks of meats in cold storage are far heavier than 'a month ago or a year ago. but the lard supply is far smaller. ribs are "selling greatly below prices of a year ago. mmam'umamu- Lard substitutes are used for more our Miriam an tanning districts isomers are . .sthrosdtuziemgm‘mst tot i .. ’ wont closed with hogs selling at $6 t 0 $7.30, the top being 50 cents higher than a week earlier. A year ago hogs brought $8.85 to $10.80. Mtg of lambs Recent meipts or spring lambs in Chicago Were extremer meager, be:- ing the smallest over soon in June, and sharp advances in prices .took place. Far too few lambs are mark- eted to meet trade requirements, and at times prices have advanced to a point that checked sales in the re- tail meat markets of the country. The first shipment. of Idaho spring lambs of the year arrived ‘orr the Chicago Market recently and sold for $16.25 per 100 pounds,‘ their average weight being 66 pounds. Idaho flock masters are in the habit of marketing high-grade lambs, and they are sure of meeting with a good demand. Native lambs have been selling at $11 to $146.25, according to quality, nd prime western ran 8 lambs sol up to $145.35, whereasga year ago prime lambs soloist $12.50. Following the yearly custom, the prefix “spring” is new omitted in speaking of this year’s lambs, while ‘last year’s lambs are termed yearl- ings. Sheep are scarce, and ewes .sell at "$3.25 to $fi.10,:'breeding ewes being in demand at $5.50 to $6.50. Yearling wethers sell at $11.25 to $14.75. There is a growing demand for good breeders, with «not many on sa 9. W‘KEAlI‘ . Wheat continued week during the ‘founight closing June 16th, and prices are lower, although several advances were made during the period. There is a dull tone in all markets but it seems to be more . pronounced at Detroit and advances when they did come were not as great as the upturns :in other mar- kets. A decrease in the milling de- mand is blamed for the dullness at Detroit. . The flour mark-ct at this point has been dull fordlhe pas-t oer- eral weeks and milleos are buying «only enough grain to take care of immediate needs. The Detroit mar- ket had a .good demand from the east and south for wheat dor milling but there has been to. serious falling DE in this demand during the past .iew weeks. This added to the . decrease in local cash demand has given the market quite a satdxaok. Dealers found they could not follow the advances made in Chicago and make Aside from the lack of- cash demand everything :in the mar- ket insured higher prices.

Gilmore of Virginia, after careful study, announces that there were about 1550 stock fire in- surance companies started business in the United States and 1300, or 84 per cent, have either failed re- tired or reinsured. He announces further that there has been about 2900 mutual fire insurance c,om- panles organized and 700 of these have failed, retired or reinsured, leaving about 2200 still 1n existance and doing business today. 84 per cent of the stock companies have failed or retired and only 24 per cent of the mutuals, a splendid showing for the mutu'als. An authority on insurance has said that no mutual company that accumulated gross assets of $200,000 or a cash surplus of $100,000 has ever failed in the history of the country.
