I and good Seed Ask any city _man to choose between a bushel of good seed and a bushel m Wthh poor seed predominates. He is just as ltihkel ‘ to choose one as the other—because he doesn’t know e erence. But the tamer does. He is an expert in the business of agriculture. It’s his specialty, and he knows more about it than anyone else. The farmers know, too, that experience is a great teacher. If the City man were to try farmm , he’d soon learn the dif- ference between good seed an bad seed. Results are the final test. The same principle holds true in regard to oil. The ordinary man can see very httle difference between one oil and another. But a lubricaan expert who spends his life working with oils \ and making actual tests in the field Wlth all makes of auto- mobiles, trucks and tractors, knows the difference between good oil and inferior 011.

AlfalfaiSeedGmwers Should ‘9 Watch Bloom Farmers of Michigan Interested in Alfalfa Production Can Take Cue From Western Neighbors \ HEY used to say alfalfa was not a dependable crop for Michigan. Soils were too wet or too sour. The-crop was not acclimated. Stands would not last. After some 30 Or 40 years of trial, there were only 74,000 acres of alfalfa in the State by 1919. Yet today, Michigan is the leading alfalfa state east of the ‘ Probably 500,000 acres » Mississippi. ‘ of alfalfa will be harvested for hay this year. Farmers have learned that with the right kind of seed, with the use of lime on sour soils, and by careful cultural practices, al- falfa is dependable in Michigan and it has become one of her most profit- - able crops. Alfalfa seed production, however, is drifting about in the same boat aswas the hay crop 15 years ago. People say the setting of alfalfa seed is not dependable in Michigan. The climate is too humid. Conditions are not right. And in the light of pres- ent experience, such is no‘ doubt the case. Here and there in every sec- tion of the Lower Peninsula, from Monroe to Mackinaw City, farmers come thru with a good alfalfa seed crop. Yields of two to four bushels per acre in 1925. More often than - not, however, seed production is a gamble. A promising Crap “peters out" into bare stems. Plants look as though an insect had nipped off the blossom at its base and the crop doesn't pay the threshing bill. In spite of this, enough farmers have made a go of seed to warrant careful investigation of its possibil- ties. Yields of from two bushels per acre on up are very profitable. Michigan grown seed is hardy and will withstand the rigors of the se- verest winter. Farmers are willing to pay a good price for the home grown product and eliminate the gamble of planting seed of unknown origin. Ontario, with a similar cli- mate, has been producing alfalfa seed to the extent of two or three million pounds annually for about three years. Success in producing seed has become so wide-spread in Michigan that it would not be sur- prising to see alfalfa seed produc- tion as dependable with careful farmers as is- the forage production today. In attempting to produce a crop of seed the Michigan farmer will do Large Percentage IT is a lamentable fact, that de— spite the great efforts of the State Fire Marshal to arouse a generalinterest among the people of our state for fire prevention, farmers have not taken any great interest in the movement, and as a result farm building fires have not been decreas- ‘ed to any great extent, in fact there seems to be a gradual increase in number and Lamount of losses. " * " , I may say, without fear of con- tradiction, that almost every fire on the farm, except it be from light— ning, is caused through the neglect . or carelessness of some person, and that practically every loss may be prevented, if the occupants of the property will use every precaution possible to safeguard the buildings, making them safe from unnecessary and uncalled for fire hazards.

This Dickinson bill besides creating ten or fifteen $10,000.00 jobs places the burden of effect upon the tax- payers and not upon the business sought to be benefited. The dis- agreement by the Farm Bureau, the Grange and the Farmers’ Union for the reason that the bill is sectional in its benefits providing it was legit- imate and constitutional is'no'argu— ment at all. I claim that where good could be given any section of the farming country legitimately it should be done at once. The trouble is the Dickinson bill compells the a taxpayer topay regardless of Wheth- ~ or he wants to buy or not. Whereas tariff legislation compells you to pay only when you buy and you are not forced to buy unless you wish to. In conclusion, we now come to the article “Farmers Radical.” The Na- tional Industrial ‘Conference Board reports that the tendency of farm- ers is becoming radical. The board or a similar board gave something else out that they found which may explain the tendency. They, according to the Detroit News, found that since before the war the farm- er’s expenses consisted of taxes, in- terest, cost of machinery, freight rates, etc. have increased 300 per cent whereas the wholesale prices or those he‘ receives have increased only 122 per cent.

' Breadscope Far Corn Planting Distance HE following inquiry_ is just a little late for a timely topic in the columns of a paper of June 5th, and still, it may not be alto— gether too late for this season. An “interested subscriber" from ,Washtenaw coun- ty asks this question: “Last year you wrote of planting an early variety of corn in checks only three feet apart .each way. Do ydu think it was a success, and will y o u plant in three foot checks again « this year?” “We certainly shall, and as the planting date is late this year, we shall plant a larger acreage of this early corn than we had intended. No one likes to grow great large yellow ears of corn better than the ‘Broadscope man, but he still main- tains he would rather have a fully matured medium sized ear, than the big yellow one if it is only half ma- tured. What variety of corn to grow is more than an ordinary ques- tion—it is a “perplexity” and we have to solve it every year. In choos— ing the medium early corn, and planting it a little closer, its yield is not so very much less than that of the larger variety. In mentioning corn planting dates one must consider that the fact a corn is planted early is no reason it is sure to mature. The other end of .the season has to be reckoned with, as well as the planting time. Sometimes a warm day or two in early May makes us nervous to get thecorn in the ground, and such was the case this year. It was pos— sible to plant one piece the tenth, and we did. It is now nearly two weeks since this planting, and, while some of the corn is half an inch high, some of it has not appear— ed above ground yet. In good corn weather it should have been large enough .to cultivate inanother day or two. It has been too cold and dry. Rain, as well as warm sun— shine, has been needed. Both being lacking, corn and other vegetation has not forged ahead as it should. Even grass does not seem to grow with very much enthusiasm, except on our lawn, where We really wish it would slow up, as we hardly have time to keep the lawn mower going. . II t * L. W . MEEKS The Spring Pigs While it requires considerable time to look after the sale of seed potatoes to those who come to the farm for them, it give us a chance to know farmers from quite a large territory. With the universal use of autos, the scope of local trade is very largely increased, and from twenty to forty miles is now a com- mon distance, where six or eight used to be. In asking many.of these farmers about the spring pigs, one is led to believe the pig crop is very short this year. Many report a complete loss, and others half a. crop. Very few have a normal one. We have a lfar smaller average than ever before, and the reason is not easy to explain. If this is a nationwide shortage, as we think it is, there certainly will be a “surg plus” corn crop for some committee to find an outlet for. But speaking of surplus/crops, what can be done about it? No one wants to cut down very much on their acreage, and when once in a series of years the crop is above normal, and a “sur- plu’s" exists, what are you going to do about it?

In a way this may be feasible and in many ways it may not. Last year, so we are told, , the farmers of the eastern states planted heavily of sweet corn.’ etc., for. canneries and local trade. Dairying seemed unprofitable, and many went into truck growing. The result: No sale at all for very much of the corn and other cannery pro— ducts. A few years ago potatoes were very high priced, and many farmers who never grew more than enough for their own use, vowed they would cash in on some potatoes and potato patches of from one" to three and four acres were scattered * all over the country. Result: Thirty and forty cents per bushel. It is a very easy matter to rock the boat! ‘ Ill t Alfalia Again The time has arrived when we can “compare last year’s seeding of alfal— fa with some profit. In summing up the different ways it only empha- sizes the fact as a_. friend stated it“ some time ago. "If you have a field you want to seedto alfalfa you can sow it with cats or barley, or on wheat or in standing corn, but if you have a field you want to have alfalfa really grow on, and make almost sure of a'crop, that is dif- ferent than just seeding alfalfa, and to get it, work the ground until mid June, and sow inoculated seed on good suitable soil without a robber nurse crop.” The latter method has proven the greatest success this past year, notwithstanding some« good fields-have resulted from seed. ing in barley last spring. -The seed-’ mg in standing corn was almost a failure, and many such fields will probably be plowed for some other crop. at a: n- , ’ Meadows In a broad view of th’ year’s hay prospect, one is inclined to be pes- simistic. Clover winter killed very badly. Some fields which should have been half clover and half tim— othy will be minus the clover, and but the half crop of timothy. This applies to old seedings. There ‘is practically no new or 1925 seedings for, meadow this year. This all. means pasture will also be a minus quantity. One field we had planned ' to pasture, was seeded to mammoth clover. last year in oats. This shows perhaps one third of a stand and, not knowing which way to jump, we decided not to plow it up, but very early went in with a disk and sowed three bushels of oats per acre on it; also seeded inoculated sweet clover. The cats and sweet clover are coming fine, and what mammoth clover there was, is doing as well as ebuld be expected under the circumstances. ~ We shall keep the stock from this field until the cats and ‘mam— moth clover have made considerable growth. ’ These short pasture crop years make me think of a neighbor who owned a four acre place. He said “ he would like a big farm of about 169 acres and would want 120 acres of it good swamp pasture! OUR BOOK REVIEW.

Genesis 8:22. ” 0U have seen the painting, “The ~ man with the hoe." A news- . paper editor once said to the writer that the man with the hoe can be the happiest man in the world. But the man in the pic- ture is not. He is but a solitary defected slave; and just filling out . miserable, hopeless days. Why? A companion painting tells. And “The Angelou” should be on the walls of your Fame. In it is another man mdth the hoe. He ' is the soul 01 ; contentment and happiness. Ah, he has the companionship of a woman (level and is environed by God (the church). The bell of prayer rings and labor ceases while the heads are bowed. Indeed ,this farmer and his wife are interested in something more than the making of a living, even the makingwof a life. To livevis a wonderful, a tremen- dous thing. It is to make the ideal the real. “It is no longer I that live but Christ that liveth in me,” is the Pauline conception of life. With our feet planted on mother earth and our hearts engaged -day-by-day in reaching out for God, is to live in the faith of the Son of God. God’s ‘book has the whole earth praising him and man panting after him as the hart panteth after the water brooks. So, the making of a living is but a parenthetical avocation in its relationship to the whole voca- 'tion of life. This life is but a tent- lug experience, and as long as it re— mains it be its fitting occasion to Godliness. Our text is God’s prom- . ise that he will not again smite the ' ardship. earth and thus cut loft man’s oppor- tunity to use the seasons in a praise- worthy way. But this is to hear God’s call to repentance and stew- Luke testifies, "He left ‘ not himself without witness, in that he dided good and gave you from ' heaven rains ‘and fruitful seasons, .' filling your hearts with food and ‘_ gladness.” In recognition of this, the peasant and his wife take God . along to the fields and pray while I " the Anglusrrings. We recommend this high companionship to every farmer and farmer’sshousehold dur- { ing this recurring season. Harvest shall not cease. This promise is big with meaning. It has in it judgment or life. The kind of. harvest depends upon the seed-bed and the seed. The good farmer -‘ counts as vital the right preparation , of his fields for the seed. This is a - trying but by being. parable of the heart. The heart must have preparation for a likely harvest. This is brought about not so much by what we can do, but by what God does. Man is not good by On; relation— ship to God is determined not by ‘ works, but by the way we react when" he plows and harrows the heart with trials, sickness ,and temp- tations. How our Lord would break, crush and fine the soil of the heart 'in preparation for the good seed. Forms of religion have no self-re- deeming merit. “Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart.“ The Savior pronounces his blessings upon "the poor in spirit." And then comes the sewing. The heart never lies fallow. "Be not deceived. God is not mocked; what- so ever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” And Mr. Business Farmer, you know this proves true in your fields; but know, also, that it is true in the field of the soul. This is a law of continuity that is ~irrevocable in the realm of lite. A certain harvest-effect follows a giv- en‘need-sowing in human character. Ron’s lutire depends upon present "seed-choices.

Therefore, “Remember thy creator in the days of thy youth.” Summer comes on, and the man with the hoe is anxiously noting the vigor of his crops. The results of his spring seeding begin to show up. But the vigor of his manhood also discloses whether as a youth he ‘sowed “wild cats" or good. Many “a man is condemned in middle age by a certain hand-writing on the wall. . And while every farmer should be making hay while the sun- shines, we are glad to know that under Grace, even at noon-tide there is time to reseed. To get ready for the final harvest is yet the supreme problem of life. But the summer wanes and mel-p low and ripening autumn is here. Then the farmer lays in the reap- ing or mourns.

Bro Corn Planting Distance HE following inquiry. is just a little late for a timely topic in the columns of a paper of June 5th, and still, it may not be alto- gether too late for this season. An “interested subscriber" from ,Washtenaw coun- ty askS‘ this question: “Last year you wrote of planting an early variety of corn in checks only three feet apart each way. Do you think it was a success, and will you plant in three foot checks again I this year?" “We certainly shall, and as the planting date is late this year, we shall plant a larger acreage of this early corn than we had intended. No one likes to grow great large yellow ears of corn better than the ‘Broadscope man, but he still main— tains he would rather have a. fully matured medium sized ear, than the big yellow one it it is only half ma— tured. What variety of corn to grow is more than an ordinary ques— tion—it is a “perplexity” and we have to solve it every year. In choos- ing the medium early corn, and planting it a little closer, its yield is not so very much less than that of the larger variety. In mentioning corn planting dates one must consider that the fact a corn is planted early is no reason it is sure to mature. The other end of ,the season has to be reckoned with, as well as the planting time. Sometimes a warm day or two in early May makes us nervous to get thecorn in the ground, and such was the case this year. It was pos- sible to plant one piece the tenth, and we did. It is now nearly two weeks since this planting, and, while some of the corn is half an inch high, some of it has not appear- ed above ground yet. In good corn weather it should have been large enough to cultivate inanother day or two._ It has been too cold and dry. Rain, as well as warm sun- shine, has been needed. Both being lacking, corn and other vegetation has not forged ahead as it should. Even grass does not seem to grow with very much enthusiasm, except on our lawn, where We really wish it would slow up, as we hardly have time to keep the lawn mower going. » III I: a]: L. W. MEEKS The Spring Pigs While it requires considerable time to look after the sale of seed potatoes to those who come to the farm for them, it give? us a chance to know farmers from quite a large territory. With the universal use of autos, the scope of local trade is very largely increased, and from twenty to forty miles is now a com- mon distance, where six or eight used to be. In asking many.of these farmers about the spring pigs, one is led to belieVe the pig crop IS very short this year. Many report a complete less, and others half a crop. Very few have a normal one. We have a ar smaller average than ever before, and the reason is not easy to explain. If this is a nationwide Shortage, as we think it is, there certainly will be a “sur-| plus" corn crop for some committee to find an outlet for. But speaking of surplus,crops, what can be done about it? No one wants to cut down very muchwon their acreage, and when once in a series of years the crop is above normal, and a ‘fsur- plus”'existe. what are you going to do about it?

En “1:; ' main solution given. In a way this may be feasible and in many‘ways it may not. Last year, so we are told,- the farmers of the eastern states planted heavily of sweet corn, etc, for. canneries and local trade. Dairying seemed unprofitable, and many went into truck growing. The result: No sale at all for very much of the corn and other cannery prov ducts. A few years ago potatoes were very high priced, and many farmers who never grew more than enough for their own use, voWed they would cash in on some potatoes and potato patches of from one" to three and four acres were scattered ’ all over the country. Result: Thirty and forty Cents per bushel. It is at very easy matter to rock the boat! ‘ * t * Alfalia. Again The time has arrived when we can “compare last year’s seeding of alfal— fa with some profit. . In summing up the dlflerent ways it only empha— sizes the fact as a, friend stated it”- some time ago. “If you have a field you want to seed to alfalfa. you can sow it with cats or barley, or on wheat or in standing corn, but if you have a field you want to have alfalfa really grow on, and make almost sure of a‘crop, that is dif- ferent than just seeding alfalfa, and to get it, work the ground until mid June, and sow inoculated seed on good suitable soil without a. robber nurse crop.” The latter method has proven the greatest success this past year, notwithstanding some good fields-have resulted from seed.‘ ing in barley last spring. ,The seed-i” mg in standing corn was almost a. failure, and many such fields will probably be plowed for Some other crop. at s e , ' Meadows I, In a broad view of th" year's hay' prospect, one is inclined to be pes- simistic. Clover winter killed very badly. Some fields which should have been half clover and half tim- othy will be minus the clover, and but the half crop of timothy. This applies to old seedings. There ’is practically no new or 1925 seedings for, meadow this year. means pasture will also be a minus quantity. One field we had planned to pasture, was seeded to mammoth clover. last year in oats. This shows perhaps one third of a stand and, not knowing which wayto jump, we decided not to plow it up, but very early went in with a disk and sowed three bushels of oats per acre on it; also seeded inoculated sweet clover. The oats and sweet clover are coming fine, and what mammoth clover there was, is doing as well as eculd be expected under the circumstances. ~. We shall keep the stock from this field until. the oats and mam- moth clover have made considerable growth. ' . These short pasture crop years make me think of a neighbor who owned a four acre place. He said ‘ he would like a big farm of about 160 acres and would want 120 acres- of it good swamp pasture!

A news- t paper editor once said to the writer that the man with the bee can be the happiest man in the world. But the man in the pic- ture is not. He is but a solitary «V. dejected slave; and just filling out miserable, hopeless days. Why? A companion painting tells. And “The ageing” should be on the walls of your home. In it is another man «with the hoe. He 'is the soul of / contentment and happiness. Ah, he has the companionship of a woman (level and is environed by God (the, church). The bell of prayer rings and labor ceases while the heads are bowed. Indeed ,this farmer and his wife are interested in something more than the making of a living, even the makingfiof a life. . To live- is a. wonderful,’ a tremen- dous thing. It is to make the ideal the real. “It is no longer I that live but Christ that liveth in me,” is the Pauline conception of life. With our feet planted on mother earth and our hearts engaged -day-by-day in reaching out for God, is to live pin the faith of the Son of God. God’s book has the whole earth praising him and man panting after him as the hart panteth after the water brooks. So, the making of a living is but a parenthetical avocation in its relationship to the whole voca- ‘tion of life. This life is but a tent- ‘_ ing experience, and as long as it re- mains it has its fitting occasion to Godliness. Our text is God’s prom- , ise that he will not again smite the earth and thus cut off man’s oppor- tunity to use the seasons in a. praise- But' this is to hear God’s call to repentance and stew— Luke testifies, “He left he dided good and gave you from ' heaven rains and fruitful seasons, i filling your hearts with food and gradness.” In recognition of this, L the peasant and his wife take God . - along to the fields and pray while ' the Anglusrings. < this high companionship ‘ farmer and farmer’shousehold dur— We recommend to every ing this recurring season. Harvest shall not cease. This - ‘ promise is big with meaning. It has , in it judgment or life. The kind of. harvest depends upon the seed-bed The good farmer This is a parable of the heart. The heart must have preparation for a likely harvest. This is brought about not so much by what we can do, but by Man is not good by trying but by being. On; relation- ship to God is determined not by ' works, but by the way we react . when he plows and barrows the ,‘ heart with trials, sickness ,and temp- tations. How our Lord would break, crush and fine the soil of the heart in preparation for the good seed. I Forms of religion have no self-re- l deeming merit. “Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of —a broken heart.” The Savior pronounces his f blessings upon "the poor in spirit." J And then comes the sewing. The heart never lies fallow. "Be not deceived. God is not mocked; what- so ever a man soweth that shall he also reap." And Mr. Business Farmer, you know this proves true in your fields; but know, also, that it is true in the field of the soul. This is a law of continuity that is irrevocable in the realm of life.

It is believed that youth is life's fittest and great est seed-time, tho the seed may not germinate until in later years. Therefore, “Remember thy creator in the days of thy youth." Summer comes on, and the man with the hoe is anxiously noting the vigor of his' crops. The results of his spring seeding begin to show up. But the vigor of his manhood also discloses whether as a youth he \sowed “wild oats” or good. Many ‘a man is condemned in middle age by a certain hand-writing on the wall. , And while every farmer should be making hay while the sun- shines, we are glad to know that under Grace, even at noon-tide there is time to reseed. To get ready for the final harvest is yet the supreme problem of life. . But the summer wanes and meI-\ low and ripening autumn is here. Then the farmer joys in the reap- ing or mourns.

The kind of harvest will depend upon the kind of sewing. Here like produces like. So, the business farmer tests his seeds. But this has its moral counter-part. Let us test our seed in the soil of prayer, of worship, of the search for Truth, and of a consecrated life. Heaven is but a multiplication of the good we do in life. Hell is but the multi- plied end of sewing the seeds of sin. Says the psalmist, “Their sorrows you know the rest. ied V that give gifts ' another god.” ' ' “He. that soweth to the flesh,” and While be? He ' that is dominated by a selfish and ' personal interest; who forgets his neighbor; who has no idea of stew- ardship; and he to whom every worldly prospect pleases. Know that every act of pleasure untouched by noble aims toward one’s fellows and toward God, lowers one deeper into the pit. Verily, minding of the flesh is death. It overthrown na-~ ture's laws; brings disease, and alienates from God. God is the connection between seed and harvest, both natural and spiritual. And tho crops may fail temporarily, the spiritual harvest is certain. But death need not be shrouded in tragedy and loss if one _ r sows to the Spirit.

The soil was also burned under this great heat and a good crop has nev- er been raised since. The place is now given to the commons. A part of our farm suffered the same treatment, but was checked when we learned it was more profit- able to cut this fine timber into rail- road wood and saw logs. No More Timber \Vasted In 1880 w bought a second-hand saw mill and set it up on the back end of our place to cut lumber for out own buildings, and do general custom work.

D. Doubleday of Kalama- zoo, who said he would try them for stringers under sidewalks in the Doubleday Addition to Kalamazoo. This was in 1882 and is, I believe, the first carload of hemlock lumber ever shipped from this section. We now got 'the railroad to put a switch in so we could ship out lumber, bark, wood, etc., and business in- creased. In 1884 we built our barn and in the same year built a new and larg- er mill at our railroad siding, t0“ , which we added shingle machinery. This was another step in saving tim- ber as shingles could be made of logs not suitable for lumber and we later added alathe mill and I have sawed thousands of logs that were . salvaged from burned slashing. The G. R. & I. railroad coming when it did gave us an opportunity to save this material and ship it where it could be used, and‘ as there are only two men living at this time that I know of who had charge of this great work, I am pleased to quote the following facts from a letter just received from one of those men who has just completed fifty years of service with this rail-a road company. W. R. Shelby of ‘Grand Rapids. .“Only 20 miles of the railroad from Grand Rapids to ' Cedar Springs were completed up to 1869, and unless another 20 was fin- ished by July 1st, 1869, the G.

ALLEN." THE STORY TO DATE N the opening installments of this most, interest- ing- and true story Mr. Allen told us some- thing about his father, who was born in Eng- land but left home when a small boy to see the world. He told of how his father met Miss Eliza Conway, who later became his wife, and of their settling in Chicago, to later decide on Michigan as their future home. They came to this state in 1867 and two years later settled on the farm where the author now lives, near LeRoy, in Os- ceola county. Ed. C. Allen . After staking out their homestead and making the required improvements the men went to work on the G. R. & 1. Railroad. As soon as this Work was done they returned to their farming but later on the building of the railroad continued and the Allens helped. ,At the conclusion of the last installment Mr. Allen was discussing the wasting of Michigan's lumber in those days. signed May 1st, 1869, and the C. I. 00., through its treasurer, W. R. Shelby, furnished the money to be disbursed by M. M. Stimson, engin- eer, as the work progressed, which did go on so rapidly that the last rail on this 20 miles was laid on the 21st day of June, 1869, and the Gov- ernor of Michigan certified its com- pletion on June 30th, 1869, giving clear title to the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Co. of its land grant, there being no settlements north of Big Rapids. [The C. 1. Co. engaged Rev. Dr. Tustin to go to S w e d e n for a Christmas time, but they were very \ seldom quarrelsome, generally jolly and generous. With the new towns springing up every few miles as soon as the rails -were laid, there was neither law nor order, and the first enterprise was often a saloon, and in many cases there would be more A saloons than stores. Wild times were indulged in, especially when the lumber camps joined in. . At Fife Lake our camp was built near the bank of the lake about a half mile south of where the town is now located. It Was a beautiful ' place and specu- c o l on y. H e brought back _ a number of peo- ple who settled the lands around Ashton, LeRoy and Tustin. Con- struction w o r k was pushed ra- pidly by the C.

Owing to father’s was always at the front where everything was very active, es- pecially as there were no restric- tions regarding the amount of liquor consumed. At the beginning, near Kalamazoo, many Irish were em- ployed who, under the influence of liquor, were not content except when fighting, and my memory of those days will never be forgotten. A year later when the Swedes came they seemed to like the liquor fully as well as the Irish, especially about M. Newborry as he looks today. Mr. Newberry was born January 11, 1849, in Calhoun county, and as a young man acted as a cruiser_helping people locate .He now lives in the State of Washington. One day the wife of one of the bridge timber men who had a ,camp a few miles north, came for goods but as a day or two passed and she did not return a committee came to investigate and found her in a room over one of the saloons in a dazed condition. The saloon keeper explained he was trying to get her sober so she could go home, she was sent home and all was quiet until Saturday night, the town was filled with bridge timber men, and lumber jacks, and the saloons doing a good business, but soon after midnight loud yells and crashes were heard as of some orgy, the next morning one of the saloons had disappeared as if by a mighty cyclone, the owner looked as though he had been used for a battering ram and soon left for parts unknown.

Here I was given charge of a steam skidder. and soon after my friend and I took the contract to stock the mill (one of the finest in the South) with cy- press logs, our outfit to consist of‘a “ well equipped railroad with two 10- comotives, about 30 cars and two large steam skidders complete. We made a success and the. com- pany wanted us to remain with them and not return to Michigan, as Were our plans when our contract was finished. They offered us a beauti- ful tract of the rich alluvial lands at the price of $10.00 per acre as an inducement, while all the rich sugar and rice lands surrounding us were valued at more than $100.00 per acre. - We were tempted to stay, and might. have done so if the old Missis- sippi river had not got her back up about the last of June. ' One day our main line engine did not return with empty cars, so I or-4 dered the‘switch engine to take out a loaded train, (and went with it to learn the cause of the delay, there I “learned on reaching the office at the mill that not only our train but thousands of men were engaged in building a board wall along the top of the le- vee, all the plantation forces assist- ed by the lumber companies, had been on duty for 36 hours without rest.

The length of time it takes to get returns from fruit trees de- pends a great deal on what kind of care they get and on the varieties, but five years for cherries and seven years for apples will about hit it. When a nursery lists Delicious it means red Delicious unless other- wise stated. We would advise you to get some other kindrwith your Delicious as a pollenizer. McIntosh would be good for this. purpose and is itself a very good variety. . Herbert Naiziger SPRAYIN G RED RASPBERRIES Could you please give me infor- mation relative to time of spraying of red raspberries, also proper for— mulas for same?—V. K., Plainwell, Michigan. . S a rule red raspberries do not require any spraying as they are far less subject to disease than the black raspberries. However if the red raspberries should happen to be infected with anthracnose the following sprays should be made. 1. Just as the leaves are beginning to come out,\with 5 gallons of lime sulphur in water to make 50 gallons. 2. About a week before the blossoms open spray with bordeaux mixture. M. S. C. recommends a 4-8-100 mix— ture which is 4 pounds copper sul- phate, 8 pounds lime and 100 gal- lons of water. SPRAY FOR SCALE I would like to get information as to what is the best spray to use to control scale in an apple orchard. I would appreciate advice on when 'to spray and what to use—F. H., . to their enterpriseand shrewdness. Traverse City, Michigan. 0 control scale spray when the tree are dormant using liquid . lime—sulphur 12% gallons to 100 gallons of water. This spray can also be applied just as the tips of the apple branches begin to show green at which time one pint orni- cotine sulphate can be added to con- trol plant lice, thus killing two birds with one stone. ‘ ‘TAKING THE WIND bur OF THEIR. SAILS ESTERN fruit assmziations are W said to ,be installing fruit wip- ing machines which will be used to remove all spray residue from apples.‘ This move is being made to remove any excuse that foreign countries maykhave to dis- criminate against American apples because of traces of spray materials hering to the packed fruit.

FARMER‘S FAIR—SECOND T0 NONE” HE slogan of the 1926 Michigan State Fair indicates that what we have talked of and dreamed about is coming true at last. “A farmer’s fair—second to none in the country"— that's the slogan, and indications are that those connected with the State Fair are doing their utmost to make it just that. The state depart- ments, the Michigan State College, and various farmers’ organizations about the state are tak- ing part, something that has been absent to a. marked degree at the fair during recent years. Everything is being done to encourage the pat- ronage of the farmers. Apparently there is a feeling that the city man will be interested in an agricultural fair, just as much as he would be in an industrial exposition, and the farmer is the man the fair oflicials must cater to. And it is true. A new building especially for agriculture and horticulture is being constructed and special awards will be made in many departments to en- courage our farmers to enter their best at De- troit. This year’s fair is September 5th to 11th, which is quite a long ways ofl, but we hope that you are planning on getting in at least one day and make your plans far enough head so that, barring sickness or death, you will be there. WAS IT A VIOI‘ORY? F we are to believe allthat we read the wets I appear to be very happy over the fact that their candidate recently won the Republican nomination for United States Senator from the state of Pennsylvania. But if one reads the de- tails about the vote they wonder if it was a vic- tory after all. The only place where the wet candidate ran ahead of the other two, one a bone dry man and the other the Administration's candidate, was in Philadelphia. Out in the state he ran a poor third. This indicates that it was only where the organization of the wets functioned 100 per cent and their misleading propaganda was circulated extensively, especially among the foreign work- men, were they able to win a hearing. Among the people who think for themselves the wet candi- date fared mighty slim because the people appre- ciated that the country is better 01!, a hundred times over, without liquor in any form than it would be~to have it back. Manufacturers are very short sighted that they are not educating their workers to appreci- ate the Eighteenth Amendment and if liquor was brought back and distributed to their men le- gally as in the days before prohibition they Would soon realize their mistake. The_money that in the old days went for beer and other in- toxicating liquors is now going into automobiles, homes, stocks, bonds, savings banks, schools» churches, theatres, and a higher scale of living than the laborers of any other country know. Compare the living scale of the middle class in the United States to the same class in any of the ' _. _ European countries where liquor flows freely. There is no comparison, they are as dlferent as the North Pole and the equator. .Manuiacturcrs express "alarm over a radical, coming into this country for tear that their work- ir‘nen will listen-to his ideas and causetmnble. yet they 19!; something ' » not ‘ _ _ . . _ mils.

" MAMG commas um 50 YEARS used to be a custom in indoor-thorn part 0! Germany for the government to pay titty marks to each couple that had been married fifty years and over. A fine custom, but the fifty marks was the smallest reward they received for this fine record. Their real reward was the fact that their’s was a partnership that had stgod the test of time, that during those years they~ had travelled life’s highway side by side. Yes, they had had their little difliculties but their love was strong enough to survive and they were now ap- proaching the evenmg of life, happy in the fact that they had each other to share their remaining days together and prepare for the future when .they would cross the Great Divide, hand in hand, they hoped. It would be interesting to know how many couples in the world would be entitled to a special reward if all of the countries established a custom similar to the old German one. We know of over eighty couples right here in Mich- igan that would be eligible as we had that many entered in our recent contest to find Michigan’s longest married couples. Our reward was re— stricted to three and these were awarded as stated in our last issue. ‘ Although we could not give a prize to all couples we did publish pictures of many of them and we are going to. publish the others, just as we have previously stated. As a starter we have a full page of them in this issue, in place of our regular picture page. Other pages like this, one will appear as time goes on, so if your picture hasn’t appeared yet, just be patient with us, be- cause it will be published. MILK PRODUCING RATIONS ELL folks, your worries about what kind of a ration to feed your cows to get the most milk are all over. No longer will you have to write us or anyone else for advice along that line. All you will have to do is install a phono- graph in the cow barn and while you milk put on a record of instrumental music of "My Old Kentucky Home". It’s supposed to increase pro- duction per cow about one quart. Of course we can not guarantee results, but a well known manufacturer and retailer living in Tennessee says he has tried it out on his farm for four years and it never fails. Now he has decided he can increase production" still more and is building a large pool which is to be stocked with gold fish for his cows to look into. Also he has ordered 50 pairs of canary birds and will hang a cage con- taining two birds between the stalls of every two cows. While he is at it we suggest that he build a CHIEF FIRE MARSHAL COMIVIENDS Dear Editor: - a After reading the May 8th number of the Michigan Business Farmer we feel it our duty to thank you and command you on the action taken throught the columns of your paper, in the Fire Prevention 0am- palg'n you have recently started. - In the past twelve years in the Fire Prevention field the writer has often won- dered why in our work through municipali- ties, public schools and the Large amount of instruction work being done, by our de- partment and the Michigan File Preven- tion Association, Fire Chiefs and various other fire prevention organizations we have been unable 'to reach the rural districts as all such campaigns are carried on in cities.

Give the California orange growers a. statement recommending their product as highly asvthis and you would read it in colored advertisements in all of the leading magazines for months to come. The same would apply to a number of other grOWers' organiza- tions. When will Michigan fruit growers begin to “cash in" on what they have? WATCH OUT FOR THESE CATTLE THE State Department of Agriculture has is- sued a warning to the farmers of Michigan» about buying dairy . cattle on the Chicago market at this time because of the number of “on the edge" cattle for sale. Due to the great amount of testing in the past few months in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin to com- ply wlth the. new Chicago ordinance the Chicago Stockyards are flooded‘ with dairy cattle. of these are reactors, properly branded and slaughtered under federal inspection and regula- tions, but there are others that passed the test but came from badly infected herds, and these are the ones you‘ must look out for. Owners of such animals know that they have been exposed and will no doubt react when thevnext test is made so they unload them right away. A ' Do not accept cattle from the Illinois-Wiscon- sin area unless credentials to show the herd is free from tuberculosis accompanies the shipment, urges the department, and it is mighty good ad- vice to follow.

LANSING LOOM WORKS I am writing you to learn if you know anything abOut the Lansing Loom Works, Utica, N. Y. What do you think of their proposition?— G.- B., Eaton County. A E understand the Lansing Loom Works is promoted by the former proprietor of the Steb- .er Machine Company of the same city, and the sales plan is very sim- ilar to the one used to sell the knit- ting machines. Rather elaborate claims as to the possible income are made and the company is to, purchase all the rugs woven. If a large number of people purchase these looms and devote much time to the weaving of rugs, it seems to us, it would not be long before the market would be flooded. Rug weavers estimate that a woman working ten hours a day would not be able to make more than five rugs for which the company agrees to pay 25 cents each. So the total income for one day’s work would be $1.26, out of which the worker must pay postage. And the company reserves the right to reject any rugs that‘do not come up to qualifications, of which they "are the sole Judge.

The reins across the horse'sk‘back Were always very loosely tied. ’ > He drove himself when night dropped black, When going for a buggy ride. Sometimes to meeting we would go, A sitting happy, side by side, And, coming back, we’d drive so slow, A going for a buggy ride. You always wore a sash of blue, And lace your reddened hands would hide. Your face no paint or powder knew A going for a buggy ride. It was in May, one cherished year, I asked you if you’d be my bride. I bent your whispered "Yes" to hear, A going for a buggy ride. Now in a fiivver, with our boys, On Sundays we, so dignified, Recall those days of simple joys, A going for a buggy ride. Remembering the thrill we had, Sometimes we to the kids confide The happiness of lass and lad A going for a buggy ride. ‘ And if it’s car, balloon or train, If you are near, I’m satisfied To feel the love that you made plain A going for a buggy ride! (Copyright, 1926.) CAN 'A FEW JARS OF RHUBABB A FEW jars of rhubarb on the shelves for use next fall and winter will add a little variety and good food to a few meals. Rhu- barb is the best in the spring when it is young and tender and when the spring rains have made it juicy. It may be canned alone or combined with pineapples or raisins in sauce and conserves. For canning it alone or cooking for immediate use, make a heavy sugar syrup of a cup of sugar and a half cup of water, out the rhubarb stalks into half-inch lengths and put them into the syrup While it is hot. Cook them until tender in this syrup. The rhubarb may be baked and then canned or used. Cut the stalks into half inch pieces, add one—fourth as much sugar as rhu- ’ barb by measure, and bake in a cov- ered baking dish about five minutes or until the rhubarb is tender. Four pounds of peeled rhubarb, 3% pounds of sugar, 1 pound of rai- sins, 1 orange and 1 lemon make a good conserve. Cut the rhubarb in- to inch lengths. Add the sugar and grated rind and juice of the orange and lemon. Let it stand about a half hour. Simmer 45 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Add the rai- sins the last ten minutes. Remove and seal, if canned, while boiling hot. METHOD GIVEN TO REMOVE GRASS STAINS INCE nature has donned her dress of green, the_problem of removing grass stains from clothing again faces the busy house- wife. The following methods are recommended. Wash the fresh stain in cold wa— ter without soap. Soap sets the stain and therefore should not be used. , Alcohol or ether will dissolve the green coloring matter when the ma- terial cannot be washed. Apply Javelle water and follow immediately with boiling water. Thorough. rinsing will prevent Ja- velle from effecting the fiber. WHY MORE VEGETABLESZ 1. They are a natural tonic. 2.

Always use the cooking water with the vegetables, or in making \ milk sauces or soups. Cooking Vegetables 1. Baking and steaming are ex- cellent methods. 2. Cook as many as possible in skins. This saves flavor and food value. 3. To boil fresh vegetables use enough water to cover. Salt while cooking. Keep covered until tender. Use waterwith vegetable or in milk sauces or soups. 4. Cook cabbage 'only until ten- der. More cooking makes these harder to digest. 5. Soak dried vegetables, peas, or beans, before cooking. Above all—cook vegetables just enough to make them tender. WHEN COOKING DRIED FRUIT HEN cooking dried fruit, add W' the sugar just before the fruit is done. tough if the fruit is cooked in a su- ‘gar syrup. All dried fruit should be cooked in the water in which it 'is soaked for some length’ of time. This water will contain some flavor and mineral which dissolve from the Rid House of Ants ARM weather brings out the W ants and unless the housewife takes precautions she will find them infesting the house. Tempor- ary relief may be obtained by the use of poisoned tape, a syrup made of sugar and borax dissolved in wa- ter, or kerosene, but to get rid of ants permanently it is necessary to flqcate the nests and treat them so *iiat'the queen will be destroyed. - The most’effective method for. the Control of ants is a weakly poisoned to‘ the nest and feed to the young.

The mixture is then boiled and strained. It is more attractive to the ants if a little hon- ey is added.

This short precooking of the fruit or vegetable wilts and shrinks it so that it can be packed more easily. It drives out the air and makes exhausting Most important of all, the food packed boiling hot into jars or cans and put at once into the hot banner reaches th temperature required for processing far sooner than if it were packed cold, and‘ makes possible shorter» processing periods. Moreover, heat penetrates more uniformly during canning and the food in the center of ’the jar is more likely to be properly processed. This cuts down the chances of spoilage, for it is proper processing more than all else that determines whether canned foods keep or spoil. The directions given throughout the bulletin are concise. Wherever possible, the scientific reasons behind them are stated so that the homemaker will under- stand why she must -follow directions if she wants‘ to put up foods that will keep. Types of water—bath canners for use with fruits and tomatoes and pressure canners forum with all other vegetables are de- scribed and illustrated. A series of pie- tures and brief statements give the steps in canning in glass jars and tin cans: Directions and time-tables for handling 'the various fruits and vegetables from apples to strawberries and from asparagus to sweet potatoes are included.

' .For the Movie Fan Kikl.—Be sure to see Norma Talmadge in Kiki (pronounced “kicky” we are told) because it is unusually good. She is supported by Ronald Coleman. It has been quite some time since I have seen a picturethat I enjoyed as much as I did this one. Miss Talmadge plays the part of a waif selling newspapers on the streets of Paris. Her efforts to get a position as a'chorus girl with a revue managed by Ronald Coleman are very humorous. On the opening night she does everything wrong and is discharged but the next day she is back trying to get Mr. Coleman to reconsider his de- cision. His sweetheart comes in and they quarrel. To show he doesn’t care he in- vites Miss Talmadge to go to dinner with him. When they are ready to leave the night club he asks her where he shall take her and she replies she has no home. He takes her to his home temporarily and she refuses to leave when he orders her out. From then on, to the time they become engaged, there is much humor. This picture played one full month at a Detroit theater, which is an unusual record as the average picture ‘ is good for only one week. —if you are well bred! TheFoms of Greeting—There are the actual forms of greeting, for instance, for people when meeting one another in public. Some, perhaps, take them too seriously, because, beyond a few set forms, there is the widest latitude of ex- pression. The test which determines the exact form or wording of your street greeting is the degree of friendship, ac- quaintanceship' or intimacy existing be- tween yourself and the person greeted. The bow of acknowledgement on a woman's part—gentlemen "tip" their hats——-is the current courtesy of acquaint- ances passing each other in the street. For the woman the bow takes the place of tipping the hat on a man’s part. A woman bows to other women or to gentls- men when she encounters them in public; she bows to anyone whom she knows well enough to recognize, to her friends, her servants, the clerk who waits on her. Common sense and custom unite in dis-‘ pensing with her bowing when, in the company of an escort, she meets entire strangers, or when she meets the same person again and again within a short space of time. The "cut direct" is some- thing every lady tries to avoid; only the most valid reasons justify it. It is com- paratively easy not to see the person whom you do not wish to recognize, with- out doing so in a conspicuous way. Do this a few times and you will find that the hint has been taken. In European; countries men are far more strict about waiting for the lady to bow—receiving her permission to greet her, as it were—before they raise their hats In the United States. in general, unless they are meeting for the first time since being introduced, a gentle- man greets a woman at once. Just as the bow is accorded everyone by, a we- man, so the raised hat is a universal courtesy from a man .to a.woman.

When well done, take one egg well beaten, half the quantity of sugar, and grated rind and juice of one orange— all of which are stirred thoroughly into the rice. Cut another orange up in small pieces and place on saucers or pudding dishes. Cover with the rice preparation. The children, who always crave fruit. will then not only get the healthful min- erals, salts and vitamins of the orange, but also the valuable rice as well. Orange Cream Pie.—-—1 large seedless orange, 1,5 lemon, 1 cup sugar, butter size of walnut, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 eggs. % cup milk. 1 cup boiling water. Beat yolks of eggs. Mix sugar, butter and cornstarch together. Add pinch of salt. ~Add the juice and rind of the or- ange and lemon (rinds grated). Then pour this mixture into the boiling milk and water, stirring all the time until well cooked. Have the crust baked, then pour in the mixture. Make a meringue of the whites of the eggs beaten stint three tablespoons sugar and a little fla- voring. Place on pie and brown in the oven.

Also you will remember that in our April 24th issue I published a letter from. Laura thanking all of you for your Perhaps some of you have written to her and are new waiting for a reply. If so you are to be disappoiilted because Lau- ~ ra will write no more letters. God has taken her home to Heaven. Laura suffered from heart trouble all of her short life on this earth, but she had a sunny disposition, nev- or complained during all of her suf- fering and always had a. smile for everyone. She died April 22nd, ap« parently falling asleep but when they attempted to awaken her they found life had departed. Wasn’t it nice that God took her while she slept, without pain or suffering? I learned of Laura’s death through Mrs. G. W. Gugel, of Evart. To many of you that name will re— call several letters that appeared in this department back in 1920 and 1921, while others were'too young at that time to remember or have be- come members of our circle since that time. In our issue of “December 25, 1920 there was a letter from a small boy who was lonesome. He had loving parents but no brothers or sisters and he wanted to receive letters from some of the girls and boys. He made many friends in this way. Then one day I received another letter from him, but it was not com— plete, and a letter from his mother accompanied it, explaining that the boy had died, that he had started the letter, then becoming tired had laid it one side to finish later when he was rested, but that time never came, so she sent the uncompleted I published the letter, just as it was, in our isSue dated April 23, 1921, and I also pub- lished a picture of the boy, Levi. P. Gugel, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Gugel, of Evart. Isn’t it unusual that she should be the first one to tell me about the death of Laura? Later on I heard from Marie Suderman also. Those of you who wrote to Laura must be very happy that you dld something to give her some pleasure during the last days of her life on this earth, and I am mighty proud of every one of you. If there are any who Wrote to Laura that have not received one of our. buttons I wish you would write and let me know because I ‘want every one of you to have one—UNCLE NED. Our Boys and Girls Dear Uncle Nedz—As I have written before and am a member of your merry circle I will write again. Last summer I pressed some flowers and put them in a book. I have them yet. Shall I send you some, chle Ned? Yesterday a friend of mine and I went after winter- green berries and we got all scratched up, so we Just got a few berries and came home. I guess I will describe my- self. I am four feet, xthree inches tall. I have dark brown hair. bobbed, and dark complexion. I am ten years old and in the fourth gradeat school. My teacher's name in Mrs. Benson and I like her real well. I am going to put in some flowers and take care of them myself this sum- mer. I live on a forty acre farm. We have three cows and three calves, also two horses. I have done some crocheting this year. Your loving. niece—Grace A. Schram, Route -1, Box 6, Omer, Mich. -—Yes, I would be pleased to\receive some of your pressed flowers, if you have any to spare and care to send them, but I do not want you to rob yourself for me. Dear Uncle Rem—I will tell you about our spring trip. One spring morning, April 19, 1926. Blanche and Virginia John- son came over to our place and we went to the lake to get arbutus. We. did not find any there so we went to Bantu-inn Lake, then to QQIIOYQ! lake instant-cu cum. .w a we we use ,, H ‘ A. at 'merry circle? got about a half a mile from home s. car stopped and asked us if we knew if there was any arbutus by the’ north end of Conover Lake and Blanche. said, “I don’t know but that's where we got ours.” We‘ went a little farther and Blanche’s and my, brother came with the car and met us. was after six o'clock and we were tired as we had walked'about six miles. This is‘the end of our spring trip. We are going to take a trip thi year but Blanche will not be with us. I will tell you about it. . » . I received my button and was glad to get lt.--YOUI' niece, Thelma Woodman. Route 2, Sand Lake, Michigan. —That was rather a long walk and I do . not wonder at your being tired. How- ever, long walks out in “the open are. good for one if they do not overdoit, and you wouldn’t if you picked flowers along the way. I enjoy walks. Dear 'Uncle Nedz—I wrote once but, never saw my letter in print, so I will write again. I will tell you of a trip I went on myself. I was coming home from school and one of my friends brought home a wild deer. I got acquainted with it. One day it got out and I went after it. I went down into the woods a little. I thought I was lost but I was not afraid and kept on going and got' my feet soaked, and by tracking it I found it in a water puddle. Then I carried it home and have it yet. I hope the old waste paper basket is asleep when this arrives. Your friend. —Annabell Anderson, Drummond, Mich. --Can you tell us more about your deer, and maybe send us a picture' of it to publish so all can see how it looks? Dear Uncle Ned:—I would like to join your circle. Would you please send me a button? I hope Mr. Waste Basket is asleep when my letter arrives for. I would like to see it in print. I will now de- scribe myself. I am five feet, one inch tall. I have brown hair and broWn eyes. My hair is bobbed like all of the other girls. I am eleven years of age. For a pet I have a dog, his name is Jackie. He can play ball and get the cows for us. I love to spend my time writing stories of past life and of others. We’ live on a 120-acre farm, we have fun riding horses and we go swimming in a lake nearby. We.have taken the M. B. F.‘ for four years and like it. I will close for this time and will tell you more next time. Your want-to-b‘e‘ niece. ———Madonna Morhofer, Route 2, Weidman, Michigan. Yes Madonna, I will send you a button it"you will write an interesting story for our page. Is that a. bargain? I will make this same offer to .the other girls and boys who read this. Dear Uncle Nedz—I think it is about time for me to write to you, isn‘t it? We are having our vacation now, as schbol was out Friday. We had a pot- luck dinner and then we had a small program. After the program we bad apples. oranges,‘ bananas, and peanuts. I do not want to forget to tell you that we also had lemonade. Does that make your mouth water? I passed into the 7th grade. . Well, we have had a very. long and cold winter and I surely will be glad when spring is here. It acted like spring but it started to snow again this morning. Well, I will close now asI have to help get supper now. From your niece. Florence Gilbert, Route 5. Box 90, Fenn- ville, Michigan. , -—-You are right, it is time you wrote to me, and I’m glad to hear from you. As for lemonade. well next to water and milk that is my favorite drink. The weather man tells me he believes we may have, spring this year but it may be summer before it comes. Just so we have it, eh? Dear Uncle Nedz—May I join. your I wrote a letter before but did not see it in print, so I think Mr. Waste Basket had his mouth wide open, to catch it. I hope he is asleep or filled before this one reaches you. As I have not described myself yet, I will do so now. I was fifteen years old last Monday, May 3rd, have brown hair and have it bobbed. I don’t know my weight because I haven’t weighed myself for quite a. while. I We do not live on a farm, but it is in the country and we work on the farm, even if we haven’t any farm.

Which is right? Which method is the most in use by sheep men?—F. W., .Lake Ann, Michigan. HERE are several methods of castrating.» young lambs, any one of which is very satisfac- tory when performed by a careful operator. The best ~time to do this is when the lambs are from One to two weeks of age. The method most commenly used is to cut oil the end of the scru- tom and then pull out the testicle with a small pair of pinchers or some do it with their teeth. Per- sonally: I never recommended this method, preferring to slit the small membrane which covers the testicles and remove only the testicles, allow- ing the white thin covering of the testicles to be drawn back. This thin covering is part of the periton- eal lining {of the abdominal cavity and I have always felt that there was some danger of injuring the lamb when pulling this covering out with the testicles, although with real young lambs the danger of in- juring is extremely slight and a man who is an extremely careful operator would have better luck to simply cut the end of the scrutom and pull out the testicles .taking the canning and all.-—Geo. A. Brown, Professor of Animal Husbandry, Michigan State College. ‘ PASTURE FOR COWS I have twenty acres of rye and I want to put ten cows in the field. Would you advise fencing the field in. half and pasturing one field at a time? How long would it last, as this ground is sandy?—-F. K., Irons, Mich. would seem to me that twenty acres of rye should pasture ten cows quite a while; if the pas- ture does not grow very rapidly then it would be best to separate and pasture half of the field at one time and give the balance of the field a rest. No one can tell you how much pasture will grow on this land—Dr. ‘G. H. Conn. THE “BETTER BEEF” CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES ‘ R. OAKLEIGH’ THORNE, Mill- brook, N. Y., the third of an historic generation heavily in- terested in farming and cattle breed- ing, who has become enthusiastic- ally actlve in the “better beef” movement, has accepted the chair- manship of the committee of three called for by the Chicago conference of April 27 to make an immediate study and survey of the facts sur- rounding the marketing and distri- * bution of quality beef, and of the. possibilities of extending its con- sumption. Mr. John W. Van Natta of Indiana and Mr. Hay Brown of Illinois have been appointed to serve with Mr. Thorne in this connection. The three loading beef breeds thus find representation. No time is to be lost in getting down to business. The committee of five on perman- ent organization consists of Messrs. B. H. Heide and Judge W. W.

Building big fires, before leaving home that the house may be warm . on your return. Drying kindling and wood in the cook/ stove oven. starting the oil, gasoline or cock stove in the morning, before the rest of the family is up, Opening the drafts wide, then leaving for the barn 'to do the chores.

Incubators and brood— ers in farm buildings are dangerous. Bu‘fning leaves and rubbish around the buildings. Setting fires and not watching them. Children playing with matches. Dropping matches from pockets in or around barn buildings. Gasoline lanterns are ex- tremely dangerous and should not be used. Lanterns should always be hung on hooks or wires put up for that purpose. Flling gasoline lamps, stoves and tanks will cause explosions if a fire or light is near. Storing gasoline in buildings. Smoking meats in buildings. Steam traction engines are dangerous and should not be al- lowed on the farm unless equipped with spark arresters as required by state laws. Radio aerial wires run- ning into dwellings without light- ning cut-out switches. Running grass fires, and I might mention a half hundred more causes which destroy farm buildings all of which care and caution will prevent. * ’ " Roof Fires Greatest Cause Again I will refer to dwelling roof fires, which is the greatest single cause for destruction of farm homes. The general impression is that these , fires are caused by sparks from the firebox of stoves and furnaces which pass through the stove pipe, up and out of the chimney, landing upon the roof, setting it on fire. This is not the case. Burning soft coal is causing these fires. soot from the 'firebox clings to the interior of the chimney, forming a ADIO DEPARTMENT, The smoke and a. '5! substance, which clings to the hitch ior of the chimney, constantly in- creasing in thickness, with the' draft is retarded. When there is a very hot fire burning in the stove or fur- nace, particles of this accumulation become red hot, break 10036, and by the intense heat arising in the chimnye, are carried out of the chimney, composed of shingles, these burning embers will set fire to and, if not discovered in time, will cause the destruction of the home. Every chimney extending over a shingle, roof should be equipped with a spark arrester, fire proof roofs are not endangered by this fire menace. If you have Occasion .to place new roofing on your build- ings, use only that wfiichis fire- proof. It is an insurance ainst roof fires. a Most farm properties are insured ‘ in co-operative mutual co‘ anies, In some section of Michigan, fire losses on farm property have in- creased to such an extent that some insurance companies are withdraw- ing from that territory entirely, and unless losses are materially reduced, the securing of insurance will be- come a difficult problem, therefore it behooves every farmer to so safe- guard his property, that he may on- joy adequate insurance protection and he should keep in mind that it is his duty to exercise every possible precaution to save his property from fire destruction, not only for his own good, but to save the brother members of his coloperatlve insur- ance organization from contributing monies to‘ him for losses which could and should have been prevent- ed. In conclusion I will say that in the limited time which has been al- l’otted to me, I'am able t6 only brief- "1y touch the situation of fire preven- tion as applied to the farming sec- tions of Michigan, but I am hopeful that all who listen ‘in may profit by the suggestions made hich have come to me through the ears of co- operative farm fire insurance exper- ience with the farmers of Michigan, and I urge all'to aid and assist THE BUSINESS FARMER in making this, their fire prevention campaign, a wonderful success, thus reducing the awful unnecessary fire waste which the farmers of Michigan are suffer- ing with its apparent great increase in number and volume. = EDITED BY JAMES W.

KEEP DUST AWAY HERE is much about the action of a radio set that cannot be seen and much radio theory at the present time is based on the ac- tion of inviSible particles of electric- al matter that probably never will be isolated and placed in a glass case for exhibition. In many cases of trouble with ra- dio receiving sets the cause is some trivial thing that escapes the eye, and on acount,of its minuteness is hard to believe responsible for dis- rupting the orderly. scheme of things. It is a well known fact among radio engineers, for example, that sets in service will become noisy and lack selectivity and vol- ume from one cause alone—the ac- cumulation of dust and dirt par- ticles 0n the plates of variable con- densers. , 1’ Radio currents do not like to make quick turns or go around cor- ners and will always attempt to es- cape from sharp points on the sur- face. of conductors. dust- on condenser. pl is the K.

Some manufacturers have provided a transparent dust proof shield of cel- luloid to cover their new condenser and have had reports that much bet- ter results are obtained than with the open type, unless, of course, a careful cleaning, is given the old- style condensers with a pipe clean— er at frequent intervals. ’ A shield of celluloid prevents ab- sorption of energy and therefore .does not cut down the working efii- ciency of the set in the least. The front and back of the skis] are composed of metal, thereby a fold- ing the condenser against body ca- pacity effects noted when tuning. ~ OOMIIIEN’DS This is to let you know how much we enjoy your radio program.

This is known as flushing and is very successfully practiced with sheep and swine. Would also suggest giving each heifer 1/4 pound of steamed bone meal each day on this feed and alfalfa: or clover hay. There is no medicine you can give that would help them at all.

Also questions iieletlvete poultry prospect for pullets ‘next fall, according to Prof. J. A. Han- na. , of the Poultry Improvement "As ociation, and he is advising the hatcherymen of the state to brood late chicks for the fall pullettrade. As you all know we have hard 9. very backward spring this year and this has effected the hatcherymen as well as the average farmer. The wet cold weather made normal hatches impossible and it was a real task to fill all ‘the orders received, but with the coming of warm days production picked up until it reached normal a few weeks ago and they are now going full blast. Orders are receiv- ing prompt attention and early ship- ment made. The buying season this year will be a little longer than us- ual and hatcherymen are going to do some late hatching to handle the wants of their cutomers, so do not hesitate to order even though you may feel that you are a little late. BREAK UP BROODY H'ENS , BROODINESS is a natural .tend-‘ ency in hens, therefore hens that want to set should not be “jailed” and starved and mistreat- ed. As soon as they stay on the nest at night they should be shut up in a coop with a slat bottom and well fed and watered there for two or three days. Ordinarily, they will be ready to lay again then. If a colored leg band is slipped on the hen’s leg every time she gets broody during the season, those hens that spend most of their time trying to set can be culled out and sold. If eggs from these persistent hens are not set, and the hens themselves are sold at the end of the spring laying season, the broodiness of the flock as a whole can be reduced re— gardless of the breed or variety of chickens. This is one of the many ‘methods used by poultry breeders in building up the average egg pro- duction of their flocks. e _ ——-—-———-———-—._ A MISTAKE IN 'AD E have learned of a mistake that appeared in the adVer- tisement of Holland Hatchery - and Poultry Farm in our May 22nd issue and we wish to call our'read- ers’ attention to it.

RATIONS FOR: YOUNG TURKEYS. GIVE first feed when poults are from 24 to 36 heurs old. "This should be dry bread gr'o‘und fine, mixed with hard boiled, egg“ four times daily first and, second days. 4 7 H» Third day, give one feedof rolled I oats and three of bread and egg. Fourth to seventh day, give the Feed a bread and egg and rolled oats alter- , nately, two feeds each. 1 Then, start feeding chick grain, one feed each day at first, taking the place of one feed of bread and egg. ' About this time also, for the morn- ing feed, give a mash made as fol- lows: flnely chopped greens (onions, lettuce, or dandelions) mixed with bread and egg, or rolled oats. Some granulated charcoal may also be added. Gradually discontinue the bread and egg and use more of the rolled oats with greens. Never more than they will clean up quickly. By the end of the second week you are feeding green mash in the morning, chick grain for the second feed, rolled oats for the third,'and chick grain for the fourth or last feed.- - When poults are about three weeks old, a dry mash is added to the ration. This is composed of one- half ground oats and one—half bran. (by weight), with charcoal added, proportion, of one pint to six quarts. This is, fed in trays and boxes and placed before them for one or two hours betweén regular feeds, and then removed until they become ac- customed to it, and then it is given for the evening meal, sometimes feeding also a. light feed of chick grain or cracked wheat. . At four weeks, or as soon as they are ready to go away on range, they are given but three feeds daily. Green mash in the morning, and a. light feed .of rolled oats or chick grain is carried to them on range. This induces them to stay on a. given range waiting for the noon day ' lunch. Select a permanent feeding place and the flock will soon learn to meet you there at feeding time. At night, when they return, the trays or boxes containing dry mash ‘are waiting for them and if. the supply of food on range is scantgthey are also given a. light feed of cracked wheat or chick grain. As they grow older, cracked grain or commercial scratch grain may take the place of chick grain; Continue feeding in this way until three months old or old enough to eat whole grain. ' : Oats and wheat are the principal grains given, More oats than wheat. A very little corn is fed in letter September and October. It should be cracked corn at first, and'later when whole corniis fed, it should never be more than one fourth of the ration, until the time comes to fatten them for market, Feed old corn if possible, and if new corn is fed, care'should be taken that it is dry and well matured. We surely want you to keep right on coming. to our house. We enjoy every feature, and look forward to every visit. —Mrs. J. M. St. Amant, Oakland County. CAN WEBER.

W. FOOTE, Market Editor. VER since farmers in southern districts began to sow their oats seeding and planting have been moving northward, and of late corn planting has been especially large, although up to quite recently it was kept back by cold and stormy Weather in some places and by too much dry weather in others. In parts 0‘ Iowa and other states corn is above the ground and looking well, while in other places plowing has been going on. In some districts corn is not looking well, however, and around Fayette. Iowa, farmers report the stand so poor that they are going to replant and desire to know where they can buy tested seed corn. Some has been bought. Alfalfa in that region is reported as looking fine. It may be added that alfalfa is all the time growing in popularity in the middle west, and most farmers regard silos a necess~ ity in cattle feeding sections. Around Independence, Iowa, the agricult- ural college extension force is en— couraging the use of limestone in growing alfalfa. A report from that farming district says: “Liming is necessary on most farms, as tests for acidity at the various meetings plainly indicate. Buchanan county is fortunate in having good lime- stone deposits, and at present have three crushers which are working to capacity. Buchanan county is a strong dairy county and the dairy- men appreciate the value of alfalfa as a dairy cow feed. Butter pro- duction is increasing, and more is going into storage, with weakening prices. ' Doings in Grain Trade Getting up bullish enthusiasm in the wheat market most of the time is almost impossible, and bad crop reports are required to put prices on a permanently higher level, the small and rapidly diminishing sup- ply in sight being practically ignor- ed by operators on the Chicago Board of Trade. A short time ago 'prices broke sharply on reports of rains in parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and scuth Dakota. Late sales were made of July wheat at $1.38, com— paring with $1.65 a year ago and $1.06 tWo years ago. Repeatedly have new low prices for the season been made in corn, with large offer- ings, although shrewd farmers are planning on storing‘ their sound corn to meet the emergency in the event that this year’s corn crop fails to show up well in quantity and quality. Much will depend upon the ' kind of seed corn used this spring. ‘ Within a short time corn for July delivery sold for 72 cents, comparing with $1.18 a year ago, while at the i same time July oats sold at 41 cents, > which compared with 49 cents last year. Bye for July delivery sold at the same time at 89 cents, compar- ing with $1.19 a year ago. Warning to Dairy Farmers Warning against buying dairy cows on the Chicago market at this time because of the number of “on 1 the edge” cattle for sale due to ex~ tended tuberculin testing is being broadcast. to Michigan farmers by the . state department of agriculture. Dairy cows ofiered in the Chicago stock yards are in fair demand on the basis of $75@80 per head for good ones, with a few of the best Holstein springers bringing $90. Less desirable cows can be bought for $60 @$70, and light weight are selling at $50 or less. Government Helps Farmers According to advices from Wash- ington, the government will spend nearly $140,000,00 during the next - fiscal year, beginning July 1, in an effort to relieve the depression of the agriculture industry and to place farmerson a plane with other bus- iness. Secretary Jardine has an- nounced that live stock industries =w‘ll receive $1,100,000 in federal . aid for tubercular aredication work among cattle. About $200,000 will ‘ be spent in printing and disrtibuting books on" diseases of horses and ' — ~. Good roads—~a necessity to farm— ers—Will get $80,000,000 from the government next year. Hogs Great Money Makers Undoubtedly, if the farmers of the corn belt states were asketho give their testimony as to how they made their largest profits for this year, the overwhelming answer would be that far the greatest returns Were made by converting their corn crops into lard and meats, and they would place far more stress on the profits made on hogs than on cattle or sheep, although farmers in many in- stances came out satisfactorily in the cattle and sheep business. Unfor- tunately, there are many farmers in Iowa and other states who failed to stock up with hogs and other live stock, trusting on marketing the corn, and this turned out to be a losmg game, as the large corn crop caused unusually low prices. Be- cause of the extreme scarcity of hogs -. in the sheep business, andwmcoiisin farmers are greater dairymen than ever._' Soy beans are great‘favo‘rites with many farmers of Illinois and Missouri, and they are a big item in live stock feeding, especially in places where the corn planting is later than usual. Late sales of hogs 'were made in Chicago at $‘12.00@ 14.35; the best light selling 5 cents above the best butcher lots. A year ago hogs sold at $10.35@12.60 and three years ago at $5.90@7.40. /' Good Demand .for Cattle Plenty of cattle are grazing on farms, grass being luxuriant, and normal supplies are moving to mar— ket, the receipts in seven western packing points so far this year show- ing a good fair gain over last year. Recent sales of steers in Chicago were largely at $8.50@9.86, with common to prime lots at $7.75@ 10.35, comparing with $7.75@11.65 a year ago and $6.7‘5@11.50 two years ago. The best cattle sell un- usually low, but other kinds sell well, with yearlings taken largely in pref- erence to heavy steers, as is usual during the summer.’ Fat cows and heifers are good sellersat $6.50@ M. B. F. MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO " VERY evening, except Saturday and Sunday, at 7 o’clock, eastern standard time, the Michigan Business Farmer broadcasts market information and news of interest to farmers through radio sta- tion WGHP of Detroit. 270 meters. everywhere, the packers could not hold prices down, but they kept ris- ing most or the time, until prices reached the highest point seen 'in more than a year. Some farmers let their hogs go to market several weeks ago, as certain market pro- phets warned them that the usual' yearly increased marketings and breaks in prices were at hand. But precedents failed in this case, for the hogs were not in the country. As for the future, raising corn for mar- keting may turn out all right, the result depending very much on the next crop, but successful farmers will hardly care to make the experiment. Sticking to the hog industry has al- ways won in the end, and it will con- tinue to be profitable where farmers raise the corn, although booms in prices like this year’s are exception— al. It is safe to say that most farm- ers are averse to taking wholly un— necessary risks, and it is known that many farmers have been stocking up with cattle, hogs, sheep and hens. ‘ O This station operates on a wave length of 10, and the stocker and feeder trade is only fair at $7 @ 8.75, with the greater part at $7.50 (€128.25 and feeder and stock and heifers at $5.75 @ 6. 5 0 WHEAT The wheat market is unsettled with prices for grain'easy. At De- troit the price made a gain of sev- eral cents after our last issue went to press but last week a decline set in. There seems to be a general feeling that prices are going to downward and there are plenty of sellers and no holders. crop is reported as in better condi— tion than last year’s. Harvesting is already under way in the southwest. CORN Illinois farmers are freely selling their corn and it-can be bought at the lowest price in five years. ‘And there is nothing in the future that indicates any change for the better.
