Seed-Kleen

Will Increase Your Profits

Clean, Vital Seed, Free of all Weed Seed,
is a Big Factor ni Good Crops

A way has been perfected whereby any farmer
can clean his own seeds at a cost of three or four cents
per bushel in 10 or 15 minutes of time. "

This method consists of the use of a specially
treated sodium carbonate, water, the family wash tub,-
and a piece of cheesecloth. -

There are 1200 known difl’erent kinds of weeds,
and over 1100 of these weigh less than the majority of
good seeds, Timothy and Oats excepted. Therefore by
adding the sodium carbonate to water the gravity of
the water is sufficiently increased to drive the majority
of the weed seeds, seeds of 10w vitality which means
poor germination, broken, immature seeds, screenings
and other impurities to the top of the solution where
they can be skimmed off and destroyed.

The good seeds will go to the bottom, resting on
the cheesecloth, where they can be lifted out and air
dried sufficiently in about one hour’s time in normal
weather so they will not stick in the seeding machine.

Seeds should be cleaned in the manner described,
about one or two days before planting, as germination
tests have proven that the good seeds immersed in this
solution have increased their germination qualities ma-
terially.

Co-Ops Will Stock Seed-Kleen

Arrangements have been made with the various
farm co-operative companies in the state to handle
Seed-Kleen in 50 pound packages, for resale to the
farmers at $3.00 per 50 pound package, which with
ordinary care should enable the farmer to clean 100
bushels of seed. ‘

The/time is so short between now and this fall’s
planting that it will be necessary for the farmers who
wish to clean their seeds to co—operate with their local
co—operative organizations to the extent of either plac-

ing their order for Seed-Kleen by phone or 'when in

town drop into the co—operative office personally. at
which time if so desired a demonstration can be made
of how seeds can be cleaned. However, full instruc-
tions of how to clean seeds will go with each 50.. pound

package of Seed-Kleen.

The endorsements of various Farm Organizations
of the state follow:

We, the undersigned, have on this date, July 14, 1926, in the
office of George S. Hedrick, Macomb County Agricultural Agent
Mt. Clemens, Michigan, witnessed a practical demonstration of
removing the above named weed seeds from such good seed as
Wheat, Alfalfa, Rye, Red, White, Sweet and Alsike Clover; and
are of the opinion that this separation by gravity with Seed-Kleen
is practical and economical, and should be given serious consid-
eration by the Farmers in General.

Last month (July) seventy—live

New York State is spending ap-

his address were for farmers to avoid
speculation in the sale of their pro-
duct, and use emcient production
methods to improve, quality and keep
costs low. ,

“Too many farmers always want
to get the top price of the season for
their product,” he said. “In some
years you might guess when the
market is at its peak. In others you
might guess. it wrong. The safest

\way ,for you is to sell. regularly'

throughout the season. In that case,
you will get the average for the sea-

Tuberculosis Free Cattle To Receite Special Attention At Buffalo Stock Yards

By H. R. SMITH

Live Stock Commissioner

In view of the fact that there are

. now 29 accredited counties in the

state of Michigan, seven in Wiscon-

_ sin, six in Indiana and five in Ohio,

it would seem that the time has ar-
rived whereby special provision
should be made for handling this
class of cattle at home of the east-
ern markets.

This matter was called to the at-
tention of the eastern state officials
by the writer during, the meetings
of the eastern state tuberculosis con-
ference, held in Burlington, Ver-
mont, June 2lst and 22nd, 1926. A
special conference of these officials
was held in Albany, N. Y. on August
10th for the consideration of the
proposed plan whereby cattle from
accredited counties and accredited
herds kept in a segrated district in
the Buffalo stock yards can be ship-

ped to eastern states and will be ac—

ceptable without special test, if these
cattle have been tested within a year
and are accompanied by oflicial test
charts. Practically all of the east-
ern states have indicated their will-
ingness to accept cattle under this
plan.

A conference was held with the
Buffalo Live Stock Exchange, at-
tended by the Buffalo Stock Yards
Company oflicials, August 11th, and
a committee representing federal and
state oflicials in the east, selected
a portion of the Bufialo Stock Yards
for this purpose.

All were agreed that the sheep
barn which is of steel and cement
construction, properly enclosed and
well lighted, would be most suitable
for this purpose, and the stockyard
officials have granted the use of one
end of this barn near a special un-
loading chute. Only accredited cat-

Hold Banquet
'Wednesday evening was given ov-

er to a banquet for delegates and-

visitors, and toasts in the interest of
harmony were given by Postmaster
Perry F. Powers of Cadillac, Con-—
gressman James C. McLaughlin of
Muskegon, Clark L. Brody of the
State Farm Bureau, and M. L. Noon
.of the Mifiiigan Milk Producers As-
sociation.

Some diflreences were caused by
attempts on a part of a few to rush
matters a little by advancing the
election of directors into Wednes-
day’s business as Thursday’s pro-
gram already was overloaded, mak-
ing an early adjournment impossi-

the program as first planned.

Thursday morning was given over
to a closed session of the delegates
to discuss business matters.

The terms of four of the directors
expired this year and it was thought
by some that new men would be
elected but when it came to a vote
Thursday all four were returned by
a big vote. They are Henry Curtis
of Cadillac, J. T. Bussey of Lake

'but out in Illinois and Iowa, where

corn is their niain crop, they are be—
ginning to realize that if a stronger

plight is not put up in the immediate

future the pest will soon be in their

vmidst, and they are talking of send-

tle will be housed in this barn. The
feeding and handling of these cattle
will be entirely separate from live
stock in the yards proper.

The opening date under this spe—
cial plan has been set for September-
14th. The various 'state oilicials
are taking it up with the dealers in
each state to make certain that a
large number of buyers will be pres-
ent. It is expected that eventually
this plan of marketing clean cattle
will reduce materially the cost of
buying such cattle under the present
plan, whereby agents of the dealers
drive through the country assemb-
ling carloads, necessitating the ex-
penditure of considerable money
which is eventually borne by the
producer and consumer.

In other words, this plan will
make it possible for dairy cattle
breeders of the Middle West to ob-
tain prices more nearly equal to
prices now being paid by the eastern
farmers for these cattle.

For a long time it has been the
practice of farmers in sections of
the east tributary to the large cities
to use practically all of their feed
for the production of milk and al-
most none for the growing of.young
dairy stock. In other words, feed in
those section is more valuable for
milk production than for growing
young stock. When more dairy cat-

As these cities increase in popula-
tion more dairy cattle are needed
each succeeding year. The middle
west states are the breeding grounds
and Michigan in particular with its
large number of tuberculosis—free
counties should have an excellent
trade in that class of cattle. It is
certain to be profitable if a good
quality of cattle free from disease
can be produced in sufficient quant-
ity to supply increasing demands.

Exchange Does Record Busim

According to information given
out by General Manager Fred J.
Hibst, the Exchange shipped more
potatoes last year than in 1924, de-
spite a 25 per cent reduction in the
crop.

The year has been the most suc-
cesful in the history of the organi—
zation. The Exchange shipped 2,982
cars of potatoes during the season,
representing 21.2 per cent of the to-
tal shipments from the state. This
is the largest percentage of the crop
ever handled by the cooperative as-
sociation and oflicers of the Ex-
change pointed to this record as ev-
idence of progress in cooperative ., . 7
marketing.

The shipments are more signifi-.
cant when they are studied in their
relation to the entire state crop.=
Michigan 1925 tuber production was
around 24,000,000 bushels, compar—
ed with 32,000,000 bushels in 1924, ‘
yet the Exchange’ 8 shipments in the'
short crop year exceeded the bumper
crop season by 115 cars.

Poultry‘ilm'provement Association Members and Friends Spend Day at Larro Research Farm ’

EMBERS of the Michigan State
Poultry Improvement Associa-
tion and friends had a very in-

teresting meeting at the research

‘ farm of the Larrowe Milling Com-

pany near Bedford on August 12.
Many of them came in the forenoon,
bringing a full lunch basket and pic-

. nicking on the lawn at the farm.

Others did not arrive until after

lunch when the program began.
Prof. C. G. Card, of the Poultry

Husbandry Department of the M. S.

ed by Prof. H. J. Stafseth, also of

' rests. in

the college, who recently returned
from a tour of Europe. Prof. Staf-
seth gave an interesting and instruc-
tive talk on the poultry industry in
the foreign countries he visited call-
ing particular attention to little Bel—
gium.

;‘ “It seem like everybody in Bel-
gium owns a flock of chickens," he
said, "In fact they must as there are
20,000,000 chickens in that country,
and most flocks do not contain more
than 100 head. When you stop to

consider that you can drive across

that country in two hours, you real-
ize that 20,000,000 chickens are a
lot.”

The European countries are put-
ting up a stiff fight against Bacilliary
White Diarrhea and other poultry
diseases. When it came to culling
Prof. Stafseth said that this country
could show them considerable about
it. For instance. they pay little at—
tention to the head, or the depth of.
the body, and he had the honor of
informing them about these points.

He also told us that the Europeans
gave much more toward education
than we do. Most of the buildings
at the M. S. C. would be lost on a.
college campus in European coun-

tries, in his estimation. “Apparent-
ly they give until it hurts, over
there,” he said.

Dr. L. E. Beasley, president of the
Association was on the program but
did not arrive until after it was over,
much to the regret of the crowd.

'Prof. Stafseth was followed by
Hrof. C. H. Schroeder who is in
charge of the poultry on the Larro
farm and he explained in some de-
tail what we were to see when we
visited the various houses and pens
after the meeting broke up. Follow-
ing his talk we were taken through

breed is white and the female is.
barred, both being about the size
and shape of Rocks. Prof. Schroe-
der informed us that they run about
70 per cent true to color. '

In their experiments regarding
feeding they have brought out at
least one fact that is contrary to
common belief and that is that
chickens do not have to have exer-7
cise to be good producers. They"
have no scratch feed in one pen and
from the looks 0f the chickens one
would not know it. And when it
comes to producing eggs, the cost i
found 10 per cent lower. '

Many men are employed about the
pens and they are able to tell sev-
eral days in advance just what they
.are to do on a certain day by look—
ing over a large board with a chart
on it. Pins, a different color for
each man, are placed in the chart
where a certain task is listed on a
certain day.

Before leaving for home .most of
the crowd took the time to visit the
dairy barn and look over the cattle-
Milking was in progress and most of
the cows were milked with a milking
machine. Each cow received a spec—;
ial ration to fit her individual needs,:
then when she was milked her milk!
was weighed and if the weight variedif
over two pounds from one milking toji
another it was brought to the special“?
attention of Prof. Staff who has;'
charge of the dairy work. . E3

In all of the feeding experiments
carried on at the farm the men; pre-i
paring the feeds do not know the];
names of the various ingredients:
they mix together as each ingredient-
is known by number instead of a1
name. .

Everyone went home apparently;
satisfied that they had put in a very?
profitable day, and “killed two birds:
with one stone." They had attended
the annual meeting of the Michigan
State Poultry Improvement Associa-r
tion ’and they had visited the Larro
Research Farm.

Good Management Necessary For Profitable Wheat Yields

By OVE F. JENSEN

LL farm income studies show a
wide variation between dif-
ferent farms, even when they

are of the same size, on the same
soil, and in the same community.
Such variation is not peculiar to
farming. We find it to the same
extent in grocery stores, bank, and
manufacturing establishments. In
any store or business, there are cer—
tain practices or methods that yield
larger profits than others. The man-
agerial ability in applying these
practices or methods determines the
size of the income. Farming, then,
is not much different from other bus-
inesses. To succeed, one has to be
above the average. To be above the
average requires, for one thing, a
fertile soil and high yield. A good
manager will not spend too much,
nor will he spend too little to insure
high yield. He will achieve just the
right balance for the greatest profit.
Land rental, seed, and labor for
plowing, seeding, and harvesting are
practically the same whether the
yield is 12 or 30 bushels to the
acre. High yields of wheat are ob-
tained only when the crop has an
adequate supply of plant food and
when good cultural methods are
practised. '

(2) Every year many, farmers
lose money by marketing grain of
inferior quality. Much of this loss
is preventable. Poorly nourished
grain will be shriveled, light in

,. weight and of poor quality. Good

quality is usually associated with
high yield. The experiences of many
growers, as well as tests by state ex-
periment stations, indicate, that
greater weight a bushel, plumper
kernels, earlier maturity and great-

WGHP Moves Broadcasting Equipment

OW does the market reports and
farm news come in on your re-
receiving set now? You should

be able to get them much better
since August 23rd, and we would
like to know if you do.

High powered radio broadcasting
stations are moving their power
plants outside of the cities because
of interference. It interferes with
local reception and the listener at .a
distance is not able to get the sta-
tion as well, so it is considered best
to move the broadcasting equipment
several miles out into the country,
although the studio usually remains
in'the city and programs are relayed
ov'er' land wires to the broadcasting
plant. For this reason the George

Harrison Phelps station has been
moved to a new location near Mount
Clemens. The studio will remain in
Detroit, and M. B. F. market reports
and farm news will continue to be
sent out from there, the same as in
the past. We hope and believe re-
ception will be better because inter—
ference has been reduced to the
smallest degree.

The building is really a beautiful
thing, being one story high and Span-
ish in architeétu're and design. It is
constructed of hollow tile, stucco fin-
ish, red tiled roof and ‘will house
the equipment and provide living
quarters for the engineers and their
families. The landscape gardening
coincides with the architecture.

use of fertilizer on wheat. "

(3) Hessian Fly can be con-
trolled by observing the safe sowing"
dates recommended by the county.
agent, college or station. Late seed-
ing makes the use of fertilizer all';
the more important, because the
wheat needs to be given a quick
start. " j

(4) Winter injury last year was:
not severe, but the winter before
caused the heaviest abandonment on
record. On the average, one out of
every 16 acres of wheat has been
abandoned in Michigan in the last 17
years. Much of this loss can be pre-
vented by proper fertilizing: A good
supply of plant food makes stronger
plants with heavier tops that protect‘
the plants, and larger root systems
that are not “heaved” so easily by
frost. ,

The effects of liberal fertilizing of.
wheat are by no means confined to
thewheat crop. The influence may;
extend over several years, especially
if clover followed wheat. There are;
soils where clover fails on account
of phosphorus hunger. On such
soils, the effect on clover is veryf'
striking. ’ This me an 8 additional.
value from use ‘of_fertilizer on wheat;
and it' is common observation, that?
as a rule, fertilizing is one of our.
best forms of clover crop insurance;:

Many farmers who held back. on
fertilizer usage in 1924 and 1925?
would have made more‘money‘ had...
they not dene .so.

‘ Please let me know as soon as

possible what to do to keep apple”

cide " from turning to vinegar.——G.
P.,.§pruce,'-’Michigan. . ' - .
HERE are two approved methods
of keeping apple cider from
turning into vinegar. The first
'method is a physical one and is. by
the method of pasteurization. .The
cider should be put into clean bot-
tles or other suitable containers and
heated to a temperature of 145° F.
for thirty minutes or longer. It
should be sealed and kept in a cool
place. Keeping in a cool place is
ivery necesary, for pasteurization
‘fdoes not kill nearly all the micro-
Lorganisms so that if it is kept warm
{they may multiply and cause the
fispoilage of cider later. If bottles
‘are used to put the cider in when
: ‘youpasteurize, they should be cork-
‘ed loosely and after they have been
épasteurized the corks should be
2pressed in tightly and paraffin pour-
ied over the top. Cider placed in
l,properly prepared bottles and heated
‘to this temperature will keep for
Several years in a cool place.

The second method that may be
:‘used' is a chemical one. The pure
,tood and drug law permits benzoate
jof soda to be added as a preserva-
‘tive of food. This chemical may be
‘added at the rate of one—tenth of
tOne" per cent to cider. The cider so
Ttreated should also be kept in a
cool place. This is a very satisfact-
v'ory method and much less expensive
than the method mentioned above.—
F.W. Fabian, Res. Assoc. in Bacter-

liology, M. S. C.

DOG LAW

A neighbor had some sheep killed
last fall by dogs, the sheep were not
buried then and are not buried now.
iAs these sheep were left lying in
the field, the dogs of the country got
in the habit of running there to eat.
fl‘his neighbor then takes his gun
'and proceeds to kill all dogs that
‘go there to eat. Can a man who has
a valuable dog killed in this manner
: pollect pay for his dog or is this man
3{within the jurisdiction of the law
and can rid the country of dogs and
what is the law regarding the bury-
ing of dead animals?——4G. A. P..
Bpringport, Michigan.

HE dog law provides that “any
dog that enters any field or en-
closure outside of an incorpor-

ated city, unaccompanied by his
V bwner or his owner's agent shall con-
stitute a private nuisance and the
owner or tenant of such field or
'other enclosure, or his agent or ser—
ivant may kill such dog while it is
In the field or other enclosure with-
?out liability for such killing. _

l The law also provides that if any
person places the carcass of .a dead
animal in any field, etc., Within a

that the company would run a 2,500

ceived about $200 for each house.
'About how much would it cost to
buy electrical equipment to run a
house line from this 2,500 volt line
to the house? How many houses
and how far may they be to connect
'on this reduced current line? Do
you think the farmers could form a
company and put up their own line,
buying the current on contract from
the electrical company. Has this
ever been tried? If so, where could

The latter instrument is subject
to damage by lightning and is much
better to be owned‘ by the company
than by the consumer in case of re-

. placement.

As a rule, only one house or
group of buildings can be connected

* onto one 110 volt circuit of a length

of 200 feet or more.

The cost of constructing a secon-
dary line from the 2500 volt line to
a farm house or group of farm
buildings, including transformer
and meter would not be far from
$100 as a minimum.

The rate of $200 for each house
placed within reaching distance of
the 2500 volt- line is very reasonable
provided the meter rates to be col-
lected for service are not excessive.

WIREWORMS
Could you give me any informa-
tion on Wireworms? Do you know of
anything that can be done for them
and how to kill them out and get
them out of the ground?——Mrs. H.,
Kent City, Michigan.

T is very difficult to eradicate wire-
worms from the soil. There are
certain practices which can be

followed and these are perhaps the
most successful means of destruc—
tion in the long run that can be fol-
lowed. The adult of the wireworm
is a beetle which prefers grass sod
to anything else for egg-laying pur-
poses. Therefore, one should avoid
leaving muck ground in grass sod
for a period of years and then plant-
ing it to corn, potatoes, or such crops
as are infested with Wireworms.

 

Wireworms are much'more abund-
ant in wet ground, especially wet,
«mucky soil, and often one finds wire-
worms infesting ground which .is
somewhat acid in reaction; there-
fore, it may be necessary to use lime
in order to bring the soil back to a
good condition. Wireworms do not
thrive in fields planted to either
clover or buckwheat. T-he beetles
shun such fields for egg-laying pur-
poses and the larvae do not mature
rapidly; therefore, ,get infested land

into either clover or buckwheat as‘

often as possible. If the land will
not take clover or buckwheat it
should be examined and the acidity
tested.

At very best it is diflicult to starve
out Wireworms since any species re-
quires two years to complete its life
cycle, and some species spend seven
years as larvae in the soil.’ Fall
plowing breaks up some of the cells
in which the larvae pass the winter
and is therefore an aid although not
a very effective one in clearing the
ground of the pest. Experiment Sta-
tions throughout the country have
been experimenting for the last
thirty years on the eradication of
this pest, and the results, taken as
a whole, have been very dishearten-

of Entomology, M. S. C.

State Fair

STATE FAIR is an arena for friendly eon-rpm

It is an educational opportunity. It is a metfintn d
exchange for ideas and property. It is a social eveme'lt is.
reflection of agricultural optimism. It is an annual census.

of progressive agriculture. It is a pageant of progress.
The crop and livestock products of a great common-

wealth are on display.

The best grains, the most nutri—

tious grasses, and the finest farm animals on exhibition
give evidence of man’s progress in soil husbandry.

Ever keeping pace with the progress of the world’s basic
industry—agriculture—has been the development of the
Nation’s arteries of transportation. Interdependent as are
agriculture and transportation, it is becoming more and
more evident that the prosperity of one depends upon the

success of the other.

Always in the lead to recognize the needs of the country,
the New York Central Lines have spent millions upon
millions of dollars in providing livestock cars, box cars
for grain and refrigerator cars. _

When visiting the State Fair, consider also the fact that
the progress -reflected there is, in a large measure, pos-
sible through the foresight and progressiveness of the
builders of our great railroad systems.

Alfalfa. Seeding Dates
18 subject has been mentioned
, in these columns several times,
and perhaps there is no one
thing connected with farm practice
that would be answered in more

. ways, than the/question of when and

how to seed al-

1.. W. was!“ successful every
year, not only
with alfalfa, but all crops, is the

cause of more gray hairs among.

farmers than any other thing.

It seems farming would be one
continual round of pleasure if we»
could use certain methods and seed-
ing dates year and year out with
assured success. Possibly the game
would then became too monotonous
and we would want to change once

‘ in a while just for fun; but the fall-

ures we have to take at present, are
not listed under the caption of
‘lFun'I!

The surest way of getting an al-
falfa seeding has been said to be in
well prepared (and that means lim-
ed,) soil when sown alone in mid
June. This is the practice I have
recommended several times and the
one which has proven the best; but
on ”Broadscope Farm this year it has
been a complete failure, in fact the
most complete fizzle we have ever
had. The cause of the failure is be-
yond my reasoning, or, as an old
gentleman in our church, in speak-
ing of the anticipated joys of heaven,
always said, “Friends, it is beyond
comprehension." ,

This field was plowed as early as
we could work the soil, limed and
borrowed, rolled and harrowed from
time to time until June 20th, when
we sowed Ontario Variegated Inocu-
lated seed. High grade fertilizer was
also applied in liberal quantities the
first of June. But the stand was
practically nothing. Recently we
have burrowed the field four times,
and rolled it again. Many weeds
were too large for the barrow to pull
out, so we have pulled them by hand
and removed all stone. This has
made the field in excellent condition
for seeding, and today we have drill-
ed in genuine Grimn, and in due
time hope to report that our effort
has been successful.

not new alfalfa, sweet clover. and
common elovers in the fall? That

is the time nature sows them, and 1
with sweet clover and common. clov-

ers: it seems nature makes a success

of it. I am not certain about alfalfa

as none has. ever gone to need
around here to prove it. Last year

we harvested a field of mammoth
clover for seed, and of course con-' i
elder-able seed scattered and this
year it came on with a wonderful
growth.

Sweet clover seeds itself in the
fall» with unfailing success, and
many times June clover will do the
same thing; but when mortal man
tries to help Nature it seems to be
an infringement upon her methods,
and she won't stand for it. So we
are left to grape about for some sea-
son when possibly she would give
us a little aid-but, as‘mentioned in
the foropart of this article when
that season is, is the question.

We had excellent success with the
June seeding last year, and are just
cutting the second growth. It. is
not very large, owing to the dry sea—
son, but it should be cut for the
good of the plants. The other day
a man said he tested this out. on a
field on his farm a few years ago,
cutting nearly all the second growth,
but leaving a test strip uncut. This 1

 

strip died out the following winter.
Possibly that was an unusual occur-
ence, but at any rate we would not
want to duplicate it on our field just
now.

bait, instead we coar’ the birds to

Now we have many kinds of birds
here and they are keeping the

the love of birds don't use poisoned
bait for cutworms; rather take care
of the birds and they will do the job
, far you. This would apply to grass-
hopper bait also.-—B. K.. Wellston,
Michigan.

0 doubt few farmers have strewn
cutworm bait without thinking
or its possible effect on birds.

Although it is sometimes hard to
obtain direct evidence of bird poi-
soning due to this bait, yet it scarce-
ly seems likely that these busy little
food hunters would overlook any-
thing edible. IOur observant cor-
respondent, moreover, comes to the
front with first hand evidence of
young birds being killed by poisoned
cutworms which were fed to them
by the old birds. -Do any of our
other readers know of cases in
which birds have been killed by the
use of this bait? If so we would
like to hear from them and would
also like to hear about methods at
controlling cutworms Without en-
dangering the lives of birds. Pro-
fessor Pettit suggests the use of
stiif paper collars to .be placed
around such plants as tomatoes and
melons immediately after planting.
l , The collars are sunk into the ground
one-halt inch or mone and will keep
. the comm-on cutworms away fnom
‘ . the plant. ,. '
' ‘This method is very well in small
3 gardens but what about large fields?
9 Late fall plowing will certainly help
as will also clean and frequent culo
tlmtion. Another interesting me-
thod is used by Mr. James Nicol of
" South Haven, who is one of Mich-
igan’s foremost fruit growers. Mr.
Nicol reports the presence of a
large flock of quail in his 40~acre
~ peach orchard. These useful birds
'emectively keep the cutworms down
in this orchard,- and, needless to
say, everything is done to foster and
protect them. Mr. Nicol states that
fully fifty per cent or the quails diet
is cutworms. .

"B. K. is evidently a bird lover and
as such realizes the great economic
value of birds to the farmer and
fruit grower. The number 01 birds

aging them through the building at

Snakey Plays His Part

A stacks, he glimpsed a dark figure flit
. , out from behind them and melt in
the darkness. Two of the stacks were
blazing fiercely when he rushed up and
began jerking out the flaming bundles.
Up pelted Doug, followed by Mort, who
was followed by the rest of the family.

“Jerk out the bundles that are on
fire!” panted Terry. “Only chance !"

Seven pairs of hands worked frantic-
ally despite the burns. Nevertheless
their efforts would have been fruitless
had it not been for the dampened con-
dition of the straw on account of the
snow. ' As it was, they were successful.
A single minute later would have been
too late. When the last spark had been
extinguished, they paused to speculate.

“How in the world did they catch fire?”
asked Mr. Muir.

“They didn't catch—they
said Terry grimly.

“You mean the man you had trouble
with over the bar?" asked Mr. Muir.

"Couldn’t be anyone else!"

“Why, that's a serious offense," pro—
tested Mr. Muir. “A penitentiary offense."

“We couldn’t prove it on him," said
Doug: “not in a million years."

“We'll get him one of these days,”
said Terry. ”He’ll slip up."

”We’ll talk it over at the house. No
use staying out in the storm all night.
It's none too good for my lungs." Mr.
Muir spoke rather sharply. His nerves,
as the case with most people in his con—
dition, were in a shattered state. “There’s
no danger of him trying it any more to—
night." .

Next morning the snow was waist deep
and still coming.

“No chance of
Mort, gloomily. “It
come for good."

“Is there danger of losing some cattle?”
asked Mr. Muir.

there’s always some that get down
in a deep draw and get snowed under.
They’re never found until spring.”

“Terry,” said Doug; “don’t you think
we owe Kord a visit?"
“Yes," said Terry, promptly. “Let’s

pay it back today."
"If you call on that feller, you’d better
have a six gun along ” cautioned Mort.
“Guess we won’t need a gun today’"
said Doug, grinning “We’ll just take
one of Mary‘s buscuits.” But his effort
to lighten the gloom failed.
“I wish you wouldn't go,

boys," said

Mrs. Muir. “Perhaps we're wrong in
suspecting him.”

“Got to go, Mother. If we lOSe both
the grain and cattle, we'll lose this place,

“Be careful, w‘ont you.‘ said Mary.

“Won't who?" said Terry grinning.

“Oh, smarty! Hope you get your nose
mashed!”

“Me, too?" asked Doug.

"Yes!" said Mary.

“Let’s go, Terry!”
“Got those biscuits?"

Kord's ranch was a mile down the
creek. They found him haying a bunch
of horses in the corral.

“Good morning.” said Terry,

Kord leaned on his fork and looked
at the boys from under heavy brows. He
stuck out his jaw and squirted tobacco
juice towards them. It sprayed Terrys
foot.

Terry rode close and said pleasantly.
“We thought we would pay back your
visit, Mr. Kord."

“What visit?” said Kord.

"Last night,” replied Terry. Doug sat

Terry.

Kord lifted his fork. “If 'you brats
ain’t out of this corral in about five sec-
onds, Ill see if I can't move you with
this!"

"Yes?" said Terry. Then he leaned
forward and stuck his jaw almost in
Kord's face. “Listen!" he said. “If you
try to set fire to our grain again, whether
you succeed or not, the first place we 're
going to come is here! With a thirty-
thirty. Now remember that! Let's go,
Doug !" They rode off without a back-
ward glance-

“No use to threaten that kind with the
law," said Terry. “Nothing but a soft-
. nosed bullet could stop him."

“Well, anyhow, I don’t think there’s
any danger of him burning the grain
now " said Doug.

“No, but there's plenty of other things
for him to try "

Shortly before sundown it cleared up.

“Guess we can start after cattle to-
morrow," Said Mort. Better get our rid-
ing gear ready."

They worked to a late hour on saddles,

Mort. “Better luck tomorrow.”

Next day they found three steers that

in home about ten o'clock, tired out and
discouraged.

Next day brought better luck. They
drove in fifteen nice steers in the lot
and for four or five days they brought
in two or three daily. At the end of a
week of hard riding they had gathered
only a hundred and thirty-five head, but
few of which were beef steers. The snow
was deep and the horses played out.
Blutch sprained a tendon while turning a
refractory steer in a log patch, and Terry
was out a horse.

"Out seventy-five head," said Mort.
“That’s bad. Must be snowed in some-
where. It's liable to start snowing again
any time now, and We won't be able to

Terry's hand and bolted.

“That’s no way to lead a horse!" said
Mr. Muir testily, as they were chasing
the refractory Snakey back into the barn.
“Let me show you how to do it "

He stamped into the barn with his big
boots and reappeared shortly, leading
Snakey. He was holding the rope close

state of Ohio up to 1903, when he and his parents
migrated to Michigan. Soon after he entered
M. S. C. and graduated in 1908 in civil engineer-
ing. The next year was spent on his father’ s
farm assisting with building and improvements.
Following this some time was spent in structural
engineering in Detroit until the position of in-
structor and head of the Department of Farm
Mechanics at M. S. C. was offered him in the fall
of 1910. Under his direction the department has
grown rapidly and has had many activities not

only at the College but throughout the state, Where his name is well
known in connection with farm building work, development of
tractor power, the septic tank and farm conveniences, and more
recently in connection with the excavation of marl, on which he is

an authority.

Much of his inspiration toward his work, he says, comes from the
inspiration of grandfather's farm where many mechanical devices
were developed through the necessities of the day and the resource-
fulness of the pioneer. “The qualities the young man on the farm

of today needs",
as well as training and education."

he states, “are selfreliance and resourcefulness,
To quote him further in regard

to his work in Agricultural Engineering he says, “I have witnessed
agreat cycle of events in the developments in farm machinery and

power, but believe the service of machinery and power in influencing .
farm life will be greatly improved and increased in the future. If
we can make the Agricultural Engineering Department at Michigan

spectators saw the horse start. What
they first saw Was Snakey half way
across the corral, with Mr. Muir holding
on for dear life, while those huge boots
ware hitting him in the back of his head ,
at every jump the horse made. ‘»

Snakey finished the exhibition by toss- .
lng Mr. Muir into a snow bank, which ’ ,
received him gently, where he Sat up and
dug the snow out of his eyes and ears
very solemnly.

“Get him back in the barn," said Mort
“We’ 11 break the old cuss of that habit
of bolting.”

Snakey was again driven into the barn. -
and a sixty-foot lariar fastened to his a
halter. The other end was fastened to
the barn. Doug led him out, and as usual,
he bolted.

He was a big horse, and could run like
a shot. He was going full speed when he
reached the end of the rope. Whoo-oop!
twanged the rope as it tightened. The
:barn creaked under the terriific strain.
and Snakey turned a complete someru
sault. He landed on his back and a gi- ’ 1
gantic grunt signified the force with e
which he struck. He struggled slowly to
his feet and stood quietly while they '
saddled and bridled him.

“Who’s first?" grinned Mort.

"Me!” said Doug, and sprang into the
saddle. Snakey stood still as a rock.

“Fan h1m "’ called Mo , still grinning.

Doug struck him ligh y over the ears

Doug stayed four jumps. That was all.

“Gamest pair of kids I ever seen, Mr.

The gate had been left unfastened and
drifted open. Snakey decided the issue
by bolting straight for the mountains.

“There goes a hundred dollar saddle," ’
said Mort. “He’ll tear it to pieces in the
timber.”

“Let's go after him, Doug,” said Terry.
“I'll ride Mort's horse. Mary fix us up
a. lunch while we saddle up."

They rode past the house on their way
out, and Mary handed the package to
Doug.

“Any biscuits in it?" he asked, grinning.

“Nothing much else, ” she replied, smil-
ing, “but they’re all right. Mother made
them.

“Shucks!” he exclaimed. “Thought
mebby we‘d need something to throw, and
the rocks are all covered with snow.”

“You’re a nuisance !” she said.

They pushed after Snakey as fast as
their mounts could stand it; but he was
fresh and kept well ahead. His trail led
up into the blue timber where the bright-
est sunlight was filtered to twilight and
the slightest wind a ghostly whisper—the
winter gales roar. ,Then the trail led into
the rough country—deep ravines with
sides almost perpendicular, log patches,
dense thickets and great boulders. Fin-
ally they cornered the horse at the edge
of a rim rock, and Doug, who had grown
adept with a rope, roped him hard and
fast.

“There you old reprobate!”
Guess you ’11 come along now. ”

“Ought to shoot the old scoundrel!"
said Terry. “The sun’ s almost down, and
we don’t know how far we are from

home."
“Look at those clouds," said Doug,
pointing. We’re in for it. Guess we’ll

have to bid those cattle good—bye."

“If we have a loss like that everyxyear
we’ll be broke up in no time at all.”

“Better be getting out of here while
we can see," said Doug. "Have any idea
which way home is?"

“Down, of course,” said Terry.

“Didn't we cross a divide about noon?"

“Believe we did !"

“Then we’ve got to go up." ’
"The horses will know the way. Let’s
give them their heads.” ,
Doug began to chuckle. “Easiest thing
in the world," he said. “Let’s follow the

back trail.” Terry looked foolish.

But it was not so very easy after all.
The storm came up rapidly and struck
them before they had ridden thirty min-
utes. It ‘obliterated in five minutes all
traces of the back trail. It turned bit-
terly cold at that altitude, and darkness
came on rapidly

"If we don’t find shelter, we 11 freeze

to death tonight,” said Terry. These
broncs won't go much longer.
It is indeed fortunate that the intrepid
trapper and prospector have dotted the
whole forest with cabins. Such a one the
boys found in the very nick of time, as
the last remnant, of light failed. There
was a lean-to for the horses, and some
,hay. They unsaddled the weary beasts
and left them contentedly munching the
hay.

The cabin was in good repair. There
was a small cook stove, some boxes and
a hay bunk. Terry even found a ‘small
lamp half full of oil.

“Start a fire, Doug." he said. “We'll
eat our lunch warm and dry.” '

It was a generous lunch that Mary had
put up for them. In a. very short time
the cozy warmth of the cabin put them
to nodding, so they tumbled on the bunk
and slept until the sun, shining in at
the single window; awoke them.
“Storm’s over " said Doug, rolling’ out.
“Breakfast ready?“ asked Terry with a ‘

l A RURAL CHURCH RETREAT
- TEXT: “And the apostles gathered
fiemselvee together unto Jesus: and they
tolddlhn all things whatsoever they had
done, and whatsoever they had taught.
" y" \ And he saith unto them: ‘Oome ye your-
.elves apart into the desert place and

~ , ' . HIS is the season of religious
. T 'camps and conferences. Christ-
ian _workers find much strength
and inspiriation in quietly retreating
from the drive and throng of life to
a place apart for conference and rem
on Christian needs and activo
Our text gives us a beautiful
pmcendent for this. It pictures the
- apostles gathering together unto the
Rural Galilean to report what they
had done and taught. It was to be
a quiet retreat, but it turned out to
be a mass convention. Thislonging
of the multitudes so compassed the
heart of the Master, that “he began
to teach them many things." He fed
their bodies, but be- fed their souls
of himself. Said he, “Except ye eat
the flesh of the Son of man and drink
his blood, ye have not life in your-
; 1 selves." And again, “I am the bread
: of life." This he spoke of his spirit.
“It is the spirit that giveth life; the

flesh profiteth nothing."

Now, friends, we are here in this
quiet retreat to consider the hunger
need of the world. What is it?
Bread. The world is hungry for
Bread. But Christ is the Bread, and

-: we must consider how better to pop-
ularize him in the heart (ii men. This
is Christ’s world potentially, and we

' must make it his actually. His pow-
er and life must go crusading thin

‘ the nations. The existing and God-

‘ commissioned agencies in this re-

‘ sponsibility are the home and the
church.

And, briefly, what about the rural
home? Because of modern changes

‘ in the economic bases of life, and the
tendency to rush to the city and

. thus urbanize our tastes and bodies,

3 the country home is losing some-

thing of its old-fashioned flavor and

its religious power. Modern social

3 and industrial transitions have been

the real (if not the necessary) cause

in the weakening of the home as a

place apart to rest awhile and feed
on the Bread of Life. It is to our
regret and shame that the home has
such a pagan center. There is no
lawful reason for it. The domestic
fireside yet has its native opportun-
ity to Christianize young life. When
this is done, we can safely hope that
when our children go out to take
their place in the larger social and

' diversified life of the world, it will

make for a universal world family in
the love and will of our Heavenly

Tether.

In passing, we pay our respects
to the Red Cross, the Y. MAC. A., and
1 other agencies that are helping to
make the world better, but these all
receive their initial and sustaining
impulses from the Christian church.

Now, what is the place of the
church in the moral prosperity of
our communities? Well, the church
, in her preaching function has lost
something" of her old-time power to
indoctrinate in Christian belief. But
the Pulpit has knowingly and will-
. ingly permitted this substraction.
I The church is not handing out dog-

ma as in former years. But, much
»- more, she should be spreading the
‘ impulse to life and power. This is
‘ the hunger need of the world. The
, preacher is coming into his apostolic
" heritage of power. He is barking

back to the dynamics of religion as
found in Acts 1:8, where we have
‘ the 'command to translate dogma in-
to life and service. The modern pul-
pit ought to be far more effectual in
' its life-giving and life-extending

tendencies than was the pulpit of ,

ou‘rfath'ers'. But, of cOurse, the pul-
pits makes it appeal more to the ma-
ture mind thanvto the unfolding life.

Therefore, the church, functioning

field. We need a rebirth of the
church into newness of form and
purpose to meet the modern spiritual
demands of humankind. It is “hardly
out of place to say that the educa-
tional forces of the church surpass
the pulpit in power to sustain the
church’s true standing in the com-
munity. If the church is “salt” and
“light” in the community, and "the
pillar and ground of the truth,” it
is because religious education is
finding its mission in these terms.
Its work is to make these definitions
of the church concrete in the world.
The church may be modern in meth-
od and have a popular following, but
if it fails in really lighting and salt-
ing the community life; in spiritual-
izing the standards of youth; and in
serving all classes, its testimony is
silent and ineffective. It is but hu-
man and wordly. But, a few years
in a Gospel church in thoro teaching,
in expressional training, and in hab—
it formation, captures the child for
God. This is good psychology and
also primitive religion according to
Christ. The teaching church has be-
come to us an effective agency thru
which to hand to the learner the
Christian inheritances of the past;
and if it was not for this, Christian—
ity would perish from earth in a
generation.

But, the rural church is in danger.
Our time is made new by the Great
War and incidental changes. Some
of our boys are left in France as sil-
ent memorials of patriotic service.
Others have returned, but to locate
in the city. Strangers are coming in
to fill the vacated farms. We are
thrown into an industrial, social, and
racial mix-up, and the stability of
rural life with its church has been
somewhat disturbed .

Then, for a few years, we had an
unenmpled period of economic op-
portunity and of profits. A good
farmer said to me, “Yes, I profiteer-
ed, but everybodyelse did it." But
didn’t it leave us commercialized and
hardened in heart? Is life as spir-
itual and wholesome as before?

But, again, we are exposed to the
danger of what is purely intellect-
ual in our public schools. However
splendid is our system, we have daily
exhibitions of its weakness in trans-
mitting moral power. It is filling
the head with little attention to the
heart. “To produce character edu-
cation must call to her assistance,
religion," says ex-President Hadley
of Yale.

Therefore, the work of the Church
is to inject religion in the commun-
ity. Religion of somekind is' the
guiding principle of all communities
and we must make it Christian. We
must impress the community folks

to the last man and teach. them how _

to interpret their physical and social
environment for the purposes of
right guidance. Everyone should
know of the religious development of
the race and the practical meaning
of the coming and presence of Christ
on earth. The community church
must develop Christian attitudes in
the boys and girls and make them
hungry for Christian character, and
unfold to all the Christian view-
point of life.

Finally, the rural church must not
only sow the seed, but prepare the
soil for the seed. This is its Christ-
ianizing mission. Its goal is to tutor
the community in the message and
grace of the Good Book and bring
it to a heart understanding of the
life and saviorship of Jesus Christ.
It is to do this or perish.

The value of education must not be
Judged solely .by a monetary standing,
yet we must have wealth as the economic
foundation on which to build schools and
other institutions.

The legislation which is most helpful
to the tanner is that which defines his
rights and ‘which clears the ground of
obstacles so that he may use his own
initiative to help himself. _

PRIZES FOR' ROADSIDE MARKET LETTER
OADSIDE markets and good roads go hand
in hand, and the number of markets increase
with the opening of additional miles of good
roads, because the public seeks the best high-
ways when it travels. Of course, the farmer

; located near a large city has the best opportuni-

‘ ties, but the automobile has shortened distance

so that farmers all over the state living on main
roads are finding this a profitable way to dispose

‘ of some of their surplus products. A handy

location doesn't assure the market success; in
fact, we will wager there are farmers who have
failed to make a go of it right near a large con-
suming point, while others many miles away
from any city or town have profited consider—
ably. There are many important things that
enter into the making of a successful roadside
market besides location. We might name over

1 many of them but we would like to have our

readers who operate such markets tell about
them. Undoubtedly each farmer or farmer's wife

‘ sees the matter from a little difierent angle, yet

readers discuss the roadside market in our col-

Recently we read of a roadside market in Penn-
sylvania where the operator sold over $7,000
worth of produce 'each year. Perhaps that is a
rare case but without a doubt folks would be
astounded if they knew the total amount of pro-
duce sold at roadside markets in Michigan dur-
ing one year. The receipts for a year from the
markets of our readers would be a great sur-

‘ prise. Yet there is 'plenty of opportunity for

more business and more profit at most markets.

GOOD ADVICE
ROF. J. T. HORNER, of the Michigan State
College, gave the members of the Michigan
Potato Growers' Exchange some very sens-
ible advice last week in a talk at their annual
meeting. He warned them to avoid dumping
their surplus onto the market at the time they
think prices are the highest.

4

Too many try to pick the top market to unload '

and the result is an unsteady trend most of the

time. If one is mccessful in selling at the top

figure they prosper but if they guess wrong the

result is unite the opposite. rOrderly marketing.
W

 

coming forward the buyer can hays con once .

in the“ future of the market, he can huge liberal T -. " . ’ - ’ R _, " v;
or it“, and. to our , rho learned that most of ' '

amount today knowing that there will not be a
glotted market tomorrow if prices advance a
mw cents.

~ If farmers market their products in. an orderly
manner the times when the bottom drops; out of
the market win be few and: for between. We
talk about the law of supply and demand con—

trolling the market, but we believe it is mostly '

the supply that rules. The appetite of a nation
does not change over night but the amount of
the food on the market can.

Dr. Homer's message was to the potato growers

but fits every tarmer who produces enough of
any crop so that he has a surplus to sell on the
open market.

OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERAL YOUNG MEN

OUNG man, how would yen like to become a
cow tester? Dairy Extension Specialist A. C.
Baltzer, of the Michigan State College, ad-

vises us that there w-fil be several openings for
capable young men in the cow testing work this.
fall and wants to know if we can help him find
these young men.

Most of the young men doing cow testing work
in Michigan are ambitious and make. plans on
going to college some day. Every fail a few of
them realize their ambition which leaves open-
ings in the tesing work for other young men,
and it is believed this year that ten or more
will be needed to fill up the ranks. Those who
are graduates of agricultural high schools are
preferred.

If you are interested, young man, write Mr.
Baltzer at once, stating your age, dais-y experience
and agricultural training in high school. 0:, if
you haven't time to write, report to him at the
Michigan State College for a week’s “C. T. A.
tryout" beginning next Monday, August 39th.

Here is an opportunity we would recommend
to any young man who intends to make agri-
culture his life work. It is a stepping stone to-
ward‘ a college training. Avail yourself of it,
young man, if you can.

WE'LL SEE YOU AT TEE STATE FAIR

URING Labor Day week, thh year, there will

be held within the city limits of Detrofi

the 77th annual Michigan State Fair. and
we are expecting it to be bigger and better than
it ever was. That is saying a lot because we
have had some. wonderful fairs, but it is also
true that we have had some that were not so
good; in fact, the Michigan State Fair has had
a good many ups and downs, as most of you
pioneers will recall. Back in 1893 finances were
in such bad shape that no fair was held.

The fair was started at Detroit in 1849, re—
maining there until 1862, when it became of a
roving nature, and before it finally got settled
down at Detroit again it had been held in Kala-
mazoo, Adrian, Jackson, Grand Rapids, and
Lansing. Lansing was decided on as a perman-
ent location in 1889, but attendance was poor
so in 1905 it returned to Detroit.

During the last few years, in our estimation,
it lost its appeal to the farmer. Little was done
apparently to encourage the farmers to exhibit
or attend, the whole affair taking on the appear-
ance of a big carnival and industrial exposition.

 

THE FAIR
By Anne Campbell

When the big rooster crowed at dawn,
We used to put our best clothes on,
And hitch the democrat, and tear
Down dusty roads to see the Fair.

_, The team went at a lively clip,

And all of us enjoyed the trip.

We breathed deep draughts of autumn air
And knew we would enjoy the Fair.

The wonders of pink lemonade,
The Midway gaudily arrayed,
Held everyone in rapture there
When we at last beheld the Fair.

We start much later now, and go
Down smoother roads to where we know
Of happiness we’ll get our share.

It’s just a step to see the Fair!

But the old zest for all its. joys

Is just as keen, and girls and boys
Join in our wonder as we stare
Through grown-up eyes upon the Fair.

I think we love it better now

Since m‘s hand has touched our brow.

SENATOR 000'va FARM ‘
H0 wants to take over a two-acre farm, rent
free, with the agreement thithey can have

it for an indefinite period if they make -

a go of it? Senator James (loosens, owner of
such a farm, is asking the question. The farm
is in Oakland county near Orchard Lake, and

‘400 acres is taken up by his summer home, leav-

ing 500 workable aIcres for some progressive
young farmer who will run it properly and keep
up the land and equipment. The Senator will
pay the taxes. “

~ The farm represents an investment of several
hundred thousand dollars, and has been a hobby
with the Senator, who declares he has no time to
devote to it new and this is his reason for such
an oifer. Although he has been losing money on
his operations he declares he has not lost faith
in farming.

Thatisthewaywith mastofthesefarmsop-
erated by rich men as a hobby; they operate at
an expense instead of a profit. So the parser:
of average means should not judge farming in
general by the way the rich man does it. The
idea that “he can't succeed with plenty of money.
so how could I with only a small amount" infill
wrong. It’s a hobby with the wealthy. not a
business, and most hobbies cost money.

LANSING DOOM WORKS WANTS
FURTHER EXPLANATION

One of our weavers sent us a clip-
ping from your publication under
date of June 5th in which you en—
deavor to explain our proposition.

For your information we are on-
closing one of our latest pieces of
literature. Read it over carefully.
You" will note that we have three
plans under which our weavers can

your article you cited only one plan.

Will you kindly correct your state—
ment and send us a copy of the issue
in which it appears.

Thanking you in advance, we are.
Very truly yours,\ Lansing Loom
Works Inc.

INCE our last issue we have re-
ceived the above from the Lan-
sing Loom Works, of Utica, N.

Y. and we are pleased to comply
with their request.

In our article we stated that this
company was promoted by the for-
mer proprietor of the Steber Machine
Company, and the sales plan is very
similar to the one used to sell knit-
ting machines. The plan we cited

. was written up as follows:

“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 a‘r..e 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 the qualifications, of
which they re the sole judge.”

This is co idered Plan No. 3, and
the company states that one can not
make near the profits they can from
Plan No. 1 which is custom weaving.
Of course there is more truth than
fiction in this statement, providing
you can get the public to pay your
prices. The company pays $3.00
per dozen for the rugs while if you
sell them to the public you can get
from $2.00 to $4.00 per—perhaps,
if the public likes your werk and
your prices are not above others in
your community or at the local
stores.‘

Plan No. 2 is yet to be mentioned,
and that is weaving for the local
stores.

In the average community work
under the first two plans is too un—
certain for one to look at it as a
profitable business to go into. The
third plan is supposed to offer a.
steady market for three years, but
the profits are too small even if you
are successful in having all of your
work accepted.

' som'runn
, By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For. the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth, .
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes sound to :a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and all men will seek you;
Grieve, and they will turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleas
sure, ~
But they do not need your woe.
IBe glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.

Feast, and the halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.

Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.

There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,

But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

EXHIBITING CANNED PRODUCTS
AT COUNTY FAIR
HERE is no more important de-
T partment of the county or com:
munity fair than the home eco-
nomics department. Rows of home-
canned fruits and vegetables always
attract the interest of both men and
women. ~
| In exhibiting canned products use
ijars made of white glass.

Use clean jars. Jars that are pro-
cessed in soft water will have a
more clear surface than those pro—
cessed in hard water.

If a number of. jars are exhibited
together either as a club or individ-
ual exhibit, use jars of the same
size, style and make. Arrange the
jars attractively. Jars of the same
products should be placed together,
about six inches apart and in regu-
lar rows. A stair step arrangement
of the jars in which one row is placed

' above another is always attractive.

Label jars neatly and never ex-
hibit a cracked or leaky jar. It has
no chance to win.

Canned products are seldom open—
ed by the judge because they may

spoil. However, the judge may
open a jar if she feels that it is
necessary. Jellies are generally

opened by the judge.

In selecting products for exhibit,
the following points should be con-
sidered.

Canned Fruits and Vegetables

Condition of product—firm,
soft or mushy.

Size—all pieces of the same size
and shape.

Color—the natural color should be
retained as nearly as possible.

Liquid—the liquid must be clear.
There must be no sediment or specks.

Full jar—the product must fill the
jar to a half inch of top at least.
The liquid is to come to the top of
the jar.

not

Jelly
Color—when jelly is held to the
light it should be crystal clear,

bright and sparkling. There should
be no specks.

, Flavor—as good jell is neither too
sweet or sour. It has the distinct
flavor of the fruit from which it was
made.

Texture—jell should be cut with a.
clean sharp edge. It will hold its
shape when placed in a dish. It must
not be runny. There must be no
sugar crystals.

, Preserves

Preserves should be thick but not
tough.

They should be sweet and have the
flavor of the fruit from which they
were made.——Suzan Z. Wilder, Ex—
tension Specialist, S. D. State College.

GET HIM READY FOR
SCHOOL

HAT about the youngster who
vK’ starts school this fall? Are

his teeth in good shape; are
his tonsils all right; and is his weight
up to normal? The child who be-
gins with the handicap of poor health

hasn’t a fair chance competing with
his huskier playmates. The time to
get him into good condition is before
school opens, for every day he has
to miss when school starts puts him
behind. Mouth breathing, pale col-
or, abnormal weight or lack of
weight, and poor appetite, are not
natural. They mean that something
is definitely wrong. A good physical
examination by a competent doctor
now, whether the child seems to need
it or not, may save days and dollars
later.

Finding Homes For Children

 

 

 

Zelma Mae Johnson, with her four-footed
playmate, and a. little neighbor girl.

HIS little girl has spent a happy
T summer with Mr. and Mrs. Sim-
son of St. Clair county who are
regular subscribers to The M. B. F.
We "are happy to say we placed her
here. Recently she wrote to us and
her letter ran as follows:
“My name is Zelma Mae Johnson.
I am ten years old. . I have been
very unhealthy. My mother thought
it would. be nice to go out in the
country where I could get lots of
fresh air and all the things that are
good- for me. The place where 1 am
staying-is owned by ‘Auntie’ and
‘Uncle’ Simson.
I have is a .dog and I go\ bathing
everyfewdays and I am getting as
brown as a berry and have gained
a pound." ‘
If any of you have eyer started
anything and’then discovered that

the job was too big for you, you will \

understand”: what my position has
been since I first asked ouryreaders
to help "give the needy children a
happy summer. [certainly started

Second, this work requires money.
Now don’t think for a moment that.
we are giving up and calling the
whole thing “off”-—-no, indeed, we
are just learning how to go about
this job in the right way.

I know many of you who respond-
ed so promptly and generously are
wondering why you have not heard
anything further. We expected
certain organizations in various cit-
ies to carry on the plan which we
had outlined, but frankly state that
this idea has not succeeded as we
expected. What we have accomp-
lished has been worth while, but we
had hoped to do much more.

We are convinced that the
M. B. F. is standing at the door of
it’s greatest “Service.”

As all did not work as we have
planned we were obliged to look
for other agencies to work with. The
Michigan Children’s Aid Society
seemed to fill the bill so we are now
working with them. The Society, a
state organization, with trained
workers covering almost every sec-
tion, is asking for just the help our
readers are waiting to give.

Those who cannot offer a home to
an orphan child may help with gifts
of produce from the farm or a check.
Because you cannot write a check
for $50.00, don’t think that $1.00
will not be gratefully acknowledged
for I know it will.

They have the children who need
just a temporary boarding home;
others for permanent homes and still
others that may be adopted.

This society handles every child
with the utmost care.- It is a very
serious matter to select a home for
a child and know that in every way
it is a good home, where the child
will be happy and surrounded by
influences‘which develop men and
women of real character. '

When we pauseland think what
kind of a home‘we would like our
own children placed in, should the
need ever arise, we can understand
why the M. C. A. S. insist on a home

i

of the highest type for the children,

placed in their charge, _ <
So instead of this effort of ours

more interesting by adding a
race, a newspaper race, and a cater-

pillar race. - The hurdles. are made

of lath, one lath wide and from two
to three feet high, depending upon
the size of the boys to run. About
five hurdles to the row and about
twenty yards apart in the row will
make plenty of sport for the hurdlers
and the spectators. The newspaper
race is run by having each contest-
ant take a newspaper in each hand
and having him step on the newspa-
pers as he runs. The caterpillar
race is for boys all about the same
size.' They should straddle a fish-
ing pole, put one hand on the pole
and the other on the shoulder of the
boy in front, and then try to win
the race. Five or six boys on each
pole makes an interesting race. If
not enough boys of a size are at
the picnic to make teams, give the
smaller boys an advantage of a few
yards and let them’ run with'the big
oys.

 

Personal Column I

 

 

. For Those Having Diabetes.—I noticed
in the Farm Home department a request
for recipes for those who have diabetes.
I have a well balanced diet of the fol-
lowmg: Brown bread, baked potatoes
(no raw apples), stewed prunes, raisins,
plenty of them. Have one meal a day
with whole wheat grain cooked with
cream, no sugar at all in anything. Bran
muffins made with a little butter, no
lard at all, or sour cream, celery, lettuce,
radishes, no pickles, no vinegar or any
ac1ds when you use milk. No pastry or
white bread. Eat sparingly. Keep bow-
els well cleaned out by drinking plenty
of water. Take physical culture exer-
cxs'es every day. This is a good diet for
g01tre.—M. Z., Ypsilanti, Michigan.

 

Iflanting Bulbs.-—»Would like to know
which is the best month for setting out
bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, etc—Mrs.
R. P., Arcadia, Michigan.

—The best time for setting out hardy
bulbs is in October or late September so
that proper root action ‘takes place be-
fore _ freezing weather sets in.—"-Alex
Laurie, Charge of Floriculture, M. S. C.

The Wise Guy.——Here is a picture with

many a. chuckle and many a tear in it. .

It deals with a crook who operates an
Indian medicine show with several as-
sistants. Later they become fake evana
gelists and The Wise Guy makes such a.
strong appeal for folks to become Christ-
ians that two of his followers are con-
verted, believing him sincere. Although
a hypocrite, a fact known to only one
or two of his assistants, he continues to
convert hundreds of people with his force-
ful sermons, doing it for the moneythat
he can get. Finally, there comes a time
when he truthfully desires God to hear
his prayer and he then fully realizes the
kind of a life he has been leading, and
is.converted himself. Later he goes to
prison to pay for the wrong he has done
and while there 'continues to preach ser-
mons_to the prisoners. It is a. very in-
terestmg picture and many times a. smile
is wmed off your face by a lump coming

What To Say in 3 Casual Street En—
counter.—-—While “How do you do?” is a
safe and correct verbal greeting for“ all
occasions, you‘need not feel bound to use
it. A young man who greets another
with “There you are, Old Top,” or “How
do, Old Dear?” instead of the more formal
“Good morning”, is committing no breach
of. courtesy if an intimate friendship
exxsts between them. Thesame applies to
women, who may drop forms of greeting
altogether and at once‘take up,’ without
other preliminaries, some train of thought
uppermost in their minds. In every case,
save when formality is natural, be as un-r
affected as possible in the casual'greet-
mg. Whether or no you findother‘s in a.
book of etiquette, there is only one phrase
for leave—taking in a street conversation:
“Good-bye". or course, itnm'ay lie/modi-
fied in various ways, by supplementary

Corned Beef Hash—Famous the world
over is the Jiggs' dinner of corned beef

become that people hardly ever think of

chopped cooked potatoes, 34, cup beef
drippings, 2 tablespoons minced onion and
about 1,§ cup water. Mix corn beef and
potatoes and add to hot fat in fry pan.

,and\turn out like an omelet on a hot
.-platter. If the oven is in use the hash
,can~be made on the back of the stove.

White sauce may be served with it or
poached egg.

 

 

Thee Runner’s Bible

 

 

Peace, be still. Mark 4. 39.

Remember, when you seem to be help—
less in the midst of confusion, that your
real self abides in eternal harmony, and
that it is possible for you to manifest
this harmony under all circumstances if
you put behind you the thought that con-
fusion is real and can harm you. Under-
stand that there is no power in evil other
than that which our thoughts give to it.

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy
One of Israel; in returning and rest shall
ye be save; in quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength. Isa. 30: 15.

VTIIE CIRCUS schemata; ,
6h. boy, Jes’ look at them big old claws
“teeth as sharp as knives!
Ion know, if ever that tiger not loom
He'd make folks hump for their lives.
Dlyou reckon they got tigers that big.
In the circus at Lily Creek?
Bill Haskel says they could eat a cow
And be hungry then for a week.

'An’ Bill, he says, the way to get in
To them there circus shows
Is to be there early an’ hang around
While the boss gets into his clothes,
Then get a job as a water boy,
Or choppin’ weeds in the rings.‘
The clowns’ll kid you, an’ little gals, too,
That dresses in tights an’ things.

Bill says there’s elph-nuts, lions an’ bears
An’ a whali’ big ge-raff

That pokes his head through the top of

the tent

An’ wiggles his ears so’s you’ll laugh.

The big fat man an’ the skinny chap
Eat breakfast side by side

’An’ one eats stuff to make him thin
The other to make him wide.

Pa says that he will be takin’ us
To see the circus next week

We‘ll go for the ’prade and stand around
To hear the caliope shriek.

But, I wish that I could be in town
And go with Bull to'the yard

Watch ’em unload,-—get a job with the

show ‘

.And earn my admission card.

 

EAR girls and boys: The other
day I received a letter from one
of the cousins in which she stat-

ed that she Won a prize in a drawing
contest we held some time ago, and
she had not felt right about it ever
since, because she traced most of
her drawing, so she was writing to
tell me about it. She asked my for—
giveness, and then wrote that I could
tell the cousins if I wished and she
asked their forgiveness.

We talk about grit and sand be-,
‘cause people are able to withstand

much punishment or pain, because
but I think it
takes more grit or sand to make such

,a confession as this little girl did,
'than it does to Withstand pain. I

  
  
    
  
 
  

    

    
 
 
   

forgive her for cheating, just as I
know all of you will, and I will spare
her the embarrassment of having
her name published because she feels
bad about it already. Her conscience
has punished her enough.

She wanted a prize and thought
it would notmatter much if she did
cheat just a little, so she cheated
and she won—yet she lost. She lost
her self respect and the ability to
look everyone squarely in the eye.
That is why she found she must con-
fess, even though she might lose
friends by so doing. She suffered
the pangs of a guilty conscience, as
we all do if we cheat or tell a lie.
But how many of us confess and
make it right?

Perhaps next issue we will have
another contest for you, so be on
the lookout—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I received the but-
ton and was very glad to get at. I thank
you very much for it. I wrote once be-
fore but did not see my letter in print.
I have read the Children’s Hour most
every time and I like it very much. I
hope that I will win a prize in the con-
test. The contest closed the day of my
Pa’s birthtday and to—day is my brother's
birthday. He is 18 years old. I have
only one brother, Ralph, he was helping
pa draw in hay to-day. I am 14 years
old and my birthday is the seventh of
August. I have brown bobbed hair,
brown eyes, I weigh ninety pounds and
wrote on the 7th grade exams this year.
I have not heard if I passed yet or not.
I hope I will pass anyway.

For pets I have one cat named Bobbie,
and two dogs, one named Rover and the
other Sailor. My brother Ralph has
one named Topsy, a dog Sailor, a Cow
named Jersey, also a calf, and a pig.
He sold the little pigs. Sailor is Ralph’s
dog but I play with him some times.
I live on an eighty acre farm, and my
pa has five horses. Their names are
King, Peter, Topsy, Dolly, and Belle.
Six cows, thirteen pigs, and some hens.
I have a flower garden. I hope that
some of the cousins will write to me, I
will answer all of their letters. I hope
Mr. Waste Basket will be asleep when
my letter arrives. It is getting late so
must go to bed. I guess I had better
close and give some of the rest of the
cousins room for their lettters. Y'our
want-to-be niece—Bernice Miles, Route

I guess I will send you a story of a trip
I took.
One Monday afternoon my friend and

I took a trip.- to the river to fish. I'

caught a little fish first then a big one.
The little one weighed about a half a
pound .and‘the other a pound and a half.
Then some big fat woman came and took
our place and they caught one that
weighed five pounds. It was a red horse,
if you know what kind they are.

We were going up the river to find an—
other place and out ran a little rabbit.
My pet dog, Jackie, ran after it and tried

to catch it. He caught it and it had
a broken leg so I made him give it to
me and I took it home and put bandages
on it. After it gets well, I am going
to let it go, wouldn’t you? I would like
some of the girls and boys to write to
write to me. Your want-to—be—niece.——-
Laurice Marie Stebellon, Route 1, Elwell,
Michigan.

—-Your experience was it took large peo-
ple to catch large fish, was it not? Well
it doesn’t seem to work out that way
with me. 1 am quite large but most of
the fish I catch are small ones. Yes, I
would let the rabbit go after his leg
heals. It is possible that he will learn
to like you and stay around your place.

Dear Uncle Ned:—Am I welcome to
come in for a little chat with you and
the cousins? I think quite a few months
have elapsed since my last visit, don’t
you think so Uncle Ned?

We've had quite a bit of rain these
last few weeks and everything seems to
be so beautiful since the rain. The grass
looks very pretty now. Say, Uncle Ned,
you should have been to the picnic that
the students of the Engadine High
School gave. You surely would have had
your fill. If you’re interested in it I will

tell you something about it‘ in the next
paragraph.

I will be a Junior in High School next
year, 'but I hardly think I shall be able

to go on account of various circumstances. ,
is telling about the ‘

I don’t think this
picnic so here I’ll begin. At ten o’clock
in the morning we all met at the high

school. Each, brought something for the
picnic. Five of us Went in one car and
five in another. We went to a place

called Naubinway which is seven miles
east of Engadine along the M-12 and
three miles south from the main road.
The little settlement is near Lake Michi-
gan, the residents are fishermen.‘

When we reached the place we parked
the cars, near the road and went to the
beach to look at the water.‘ A few at us
girls went in wading. At twelve o’clock
sharp, dinner was ready in a nice shady
place. We had potato salad, pickles, sand—
wiches, pork and beans, cookies, cake
and ice cream. Yum, yum it was good.
After dinner some of us girls went for
a walk, then we all went for a nice
ride around a little island. At about
a quarter after one we started for home
and arrived at Enga‘dine at about a quar-
ter of two.

I must stop my "chatter box" now be—
cause I can just picture the waste basket
ready to devour it. I must try to write
a more interesting letter the next time
I write. Good luck to you Uncle Ned
and the cousins. Your friend,—-—Anna
Stimac, Engadine, Mich.

-—Well, Annie, glad to hear from you
again. You sure had a fine picnic and
plenty to eat. Of course I would have
to mention food. Just like a man isn’t it.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I wrote a letter to
you once before, but as I did not see it
in print I thought I would write again.
May I join your merry circle?

As we have been talking about our
school picnic this year, it reminds me of

tell you about.

My father has a truck. My older

Betty’s Pleasure

ETTY SMITH lived with her
mother and father on the out-
skirts of New York City. Betty

was crippled and could not run and
play like other children and as she
could not go to school she studied
at home and her mother helped her
with her lessons. -

Still Betty was quite happy, for
did she not have a nice loving moth-
er and father and a nice, pretty cot-
tagea to live in? Indeed, she did and
she loved her father and her mother
and her nice home very much. But
sometimes‘ Betty longed for a nice
little brother or sister. Betty did
not know many people where she
lived because they had just moved
to their new cottage. Since Betty
could not play out of doors, she
learned to sew and help ‘her mother
with all the mending and sewing.

One day Betty was quite ill and
had to stay in bed all day. Betty
wished she could go and sit on the
porch, but most of all she wished
somebody would come over, and play
with her. ‘ All at once she heard a.
knock a tthe door. Betty’s mother

with Betty,” she said, “My name is
Phylis Armstrong.”

“Indeed, you can,” said Mrs.
Smith, “Betty was just wishing
somebody would come.” ‘

At first Betty was shy but in a
little while the two girls were talk-
ing and laughing as if they had
know each other for years.

After a while Phylis said, “I
brought you these magazines. They
are ‘The Michigan Business Farmer.’
I know you will like them especially
The Children’s Hour." Then Phylis
told Betty all about the contests and

-puzzles and how she had gained so

many new friends through this ma-
gazine. Phylis talked with Betty a
little longer and then want home
after promising to come again the
next day.

After Phylis had gone Betty wrote
a long letter to the M. B- F. Now
Betty is never lonesome for all her.
spare time is taken up with writing
letters to all her new friends which

she gained through the M. B. F. and,

this it didn’t work well all the way ’41::
there, but we, had a lot "of fun going
just the same.
they took the truck to thefgarage at
Sand Lake about five miles from White
Fish Lake. There it stayed all day.
They said it would be done attour o’clock.
We were supposed to be home early and
we live twenty miles from there.

After the picnic was over we got our
cousin to take us to Sand Lake. When
we got there, they said it wouldn’t be

done until seven. Near the garage was

a little park where there were swings
and teeter totters. We amused ourselves
there for a while. At last seven o’clock
came, but they said it wouldn’t be done
until nine. They kept this up until we
didn’t get started from there until about
eleven. When we did go, they didn’t
have it done.

After a 'time We got home, but it was
all the truck could do to go up some of
the hills. It was quite an expensive pic-
nic, but it taught us all a lesson and I
think especially Richard. -'.["his year we
are going to Hess Lake for Our picnic, but
we are going with the/car, not the truck.

hope .to be your niece—Ethel Parks, R4,
Sparta, Michigan.

——It was too bad you had any trouble
with the truck but I am sure next time
you will not travel so fast and burn out
the bands.

Dear Uncle Ned:-—As I have been
reading the letters the other girls and
boys have written and I would like to
join your merry circle, would you please
send me a button. ’

I will now describe myself. I am five
feet, two inches tall, have brown hair
and blue eyes. My hair is bobbed and
is quite curly. I am thirteen years of
age. For a pet I have a dog. His name
is Collie. He goes with me after the

cows and he also plays ball with my_

little sister and.

We live on a. 120-acre farm. We have
a tractor and have lots of fun trying to
drive it. We have just taken the M. B. F.
about two months but I think we will
like it fine when we get it a few more
times. '

Well I will close for this time and will
tell you more next time. Your want-to—

-—I will send you a button but first you
must win it either by winning in a con—
test or by writing an interesting story
for our page.

Dear Uncle Ned:—-I have never writ-
ten before but I have been a silent mem—
ber of your page for a long time.

Uncle, you made the ,ofler that if any—
one would write a story for our page
you would send them a button.‘ I did
not write a story but I wrote a poem.
I am sending it instead. Is that' just
as good and is it worth a button? I
hope so because I want a button so bad.

As I am writing you for the first time
I had better describe myself. I am a
girl five feet and one inch tall, brown
hair and brown eyes. I am light com-
plected and wear glasses. I weigh about
eighty-five pounds. I am thirteen years
old and my birthday is the twenty-eighth
of December. Have I any twins? If so
I wish they would write to me and I
will reward them with a big fat letter.
I live in Berrien County about five miles
from Lake Michigan. If any of the
cousins care to write I would be glad
to have them. ' ,

Hoping to see my poem and letter in

EAR Editorz—Just a word of
' comment on the statement
“Farmer Has More Money.” Up
to 1911 farming was my principal
Occupation, since that time I have
bought and sold several farms and
.have been interested in farm pro-
vdu’cts, so I know from experience
something of the iarmers’ problem
and when I read the above article
as set forth by the U. s. Department
of Agriculture I felt that tuners
should take advantage of the oppor—
tunity offered by you for comment,
notwithstanding the contrary.
Analyzation of this report bears
out my contention that the general
farmer does not realise more than
2 per cent on his investment at the
present time, taking the figures as
given in the report, viz.: total re—
ceipts including home grown toad
products are $2, 774. 00 less expenses
of $2,036.00. This includes the item
of labor for the farmer and his fami-
ly of $793.00. leaves $748.00. No

TUBE GUAGED BY SOUND

0 not attempt to obtain signals
by seeing how brightly you can
make the vacuum tubes of your

set burn.

This advice can hardly be repeat-
ed otten enough. While it is true
that turning on tubes of maximum
brilliancy may mean, in some in-
stances, maximum signals, the test
of the correct amount of voltage to
be used in making the tubes light
is notthe degree of brilliance in the
light, but the quality of sounds pro-
duced in the head phones.

The light is given of! by the heat-
ed filament oi the tubes. It is the
amount of heat produced in the fila-
ment by the resistance offered to the
flow or the electric current through
it that controls the operation oi the
tube.

That is, the more current that
flows through the filament the hot-
ter the filament becomes. It too
great a current is passed through
the filament it will burn out. When
the filament becomes hot, electrons,
which are negative charges of elec-
tricity, fly out of the filament. It

MAKING TANGLEFOOT
EAR EDITOR: Having read an
article recently on using tangle-
foot on trees will say that one
can make tanglefoot by using rosin
and castor oil. A very little prac-
tice is needed to make it the right
consistency. When the writer used
it he estimated that he got about
fifteen times more for the same mon-
ey than when he bought the pre-
pared tangletoot.——Subscriber, Crys-

tal, Michigan.

stronger the light it gives. But it
is not the light that causes the
electrons to fly from the filament.
It is the heat. It the filament be-
came heated but did not give off a
single ray of light, the electrons
would fly out of it just the same,
but the lack of light would not affect
the operation of the tube at all.

The Book Nobody Knows.——By Bruce
Barton. Recently we published a review
of “The Man Nobody Knows" by this
author. That book is the story of Jesus
written to appeal to the present day gen-
eration and has found a ready market.
This book is about the Bible and written
in the same style. Theauthor, a popular
writer and advertising man, shows why
the Bible is worth knowing, explains how
hegotit, tellswhatisinihgrsepsits
essentials, reveals its importance to us,
portrays its great men and women in the
vivid colors of today. Leading clergy-
men from all parts of the country are
endorsing it. It is a book well worth

How Concrete
Helps the Former

Farmers who have the advantages of
permanent, expense-proof buildings save
time and money that would otherwise go
to keep ramshackle buildings fit for use.
Concrete dairy barns mean healthier
cows that give more milk; and that means
bigger milk checks.

Concrete silos make possible economi-
cal, dependable feed the year 'round—
which also means more milk.

Concrete manure pits prevent loss of
valuable fertilizing elements in manure.

..._._..__—_...—_.

Concrete corn cribs keep out rats and
mice. You can’t sell these pests so why
fatten them?

Concrete feeding floors and hog houses
make healthy, profitable hogs.

Concrete protects the home, and other
farm buildings against fire.

Concrete-how to mix and use it, and

TURNING LAMBS ON AISIKE

I would like to ask advice on turn—
ing lambs in alsike clover. I have
sixteen acres of alsike, some timothy
and sorrel. I thought I would get
about 60 or 80 western lambs and
turn them in. Would the alsike be
injurious to the lambs or would it
be better to wait until some of the
alsike dried up?—H. 13]., Manchester,
’Michigan.

THERE should be no danger What—

ever in turning lambs on a1-
sike clover. Western lambs,
however, have often been on dry

feed. for sometime in transit and oft-
en come from ranches where the
pasture was also dry. As a result
there is always some danger of loss
when turned on. to rank growing
green pastures. As a starter west—
ern lambs should be fed on hay for
a few days or on pasture that is
fairly well matured or dry and ac—
custom them to the green feed very
gradually.

If you were shipping sixty or
eighty lambs from some of the cent—
ral markets the freight on this num—
ber would be almost prohibitive as
this number is only one-half of a.
single-deck carload. It Would be
advisable for you to cooperate with
some of your neighbors in the pur-
chase of these lambs or endeavor to
get them locally;—-Geo. A. Brown,
Professor of Animal Husbandry,
Michigan State College.

 

ROOTS OR CORN SILAGE

I know a party who has had quite
a little experience in feeding cattle
for high production and he told me
that could he only have silage or
roots (not both) to feed, his choice
would be the roots and I am won—
dering if the roots are the best and
if it would not be better to raise
more roots and not worry if one
does not have a silo. How does the
production cost compare?—D. T.,
Marion, Mich. ‘

T is my opinion that over most of
Michigan it is more profitable
to grow silage for dairy cows

rather than roots. While the ton-
nage of roots per acre is greater the
large amount of water that they
contain reduces the amount of di-
gestible nutrients very materially.
Also, the labor involved in caring

for beets is much greater than that
involved in caring for corn for si-
lage. Consequently, I would re-
commend a man to raise silage ra-
ther than beets for dairy cows in the
southern part of the state.

In sections where the corn does
not do well or where it does not
mature and consequently produces

a rather poor quality of silage and

a low tonnage per acre the produc—
tion of beets for feeding would un-
doubtedly be advisable. The feed-
ing value of the dry matter in beets
is fully as valuable as the dry mat-
ter in corn—J. E. Burnett, Associ—
ate Professor of Dairy Husbandry,
Michigan 'State College.

LOOK FOR PARASITES IN UN-
THIRIFTY ANIMAIS

HEN an animal does not do

Well the trouble is often due to

poor breeding, poor feeding, or
parasites. If you are satisfied that
the breeding and feeding are all
right, you may suspect parasites,
especially in the case of young ani-
mals.

SALT FOR. DAIRY COWS
DAIRY cow requires an ounce or
more of salt a day and should
have all she needs. She should
not be forced to take more than she
wants, so it is best to give only a
small quantity in the feed. Then
place rock salt in boxes in the yard
or pasture where she can lick it at
will.

WASH SEPARATOR PARTS IN
COLD WATER

EAR EDITOR: I would like to
write for the benefit of Mrs.
F. G., of Bay City, about the
trouble she has in washing her
cream separator, strainers and wash
cloths. Thoroughly rinse the arti-
cles that come in contact with milk
in cold water, and take all of the

'pieces of the separator, put them in

a large pan and wash with cold wa-
ter before putting hot Water and
soap on them. I had the same slimy
condition when we first got our se-
parator until I learned the cold wa-
ter treatment. I, too, thought that
there must be something wrong with
our cows—Mrs. J. ‘T., Jackson

HIS cow gives stringy milk from

RATION

Please tell me what is the best
grain ration for cow on June grass

Michigan.

HE same ration can be used when
the cows are on ordinary pas-

not so much of it. The following
would be all right: 200 lbs. ground
corn. _200 lbs. ground oats, 100 lbs.
wheat bran, 100 lbs. oilmeal. Give
each cow from 6 to 10 lbs. per day
depending upon how much she is

BEST BY TESTI

Only time and use will prove the real merit of any machine.
. Actual test under all kinds of conditions, for a long time, will show
- whether or not it is reliable and durable.

The Auto- Oiled Aermotor has been thru the testing
: period in every part of the world. For 12 years
it has been giving the most reliable service to

,. i; hundreds of thousands of owners.

Auto-Oiled means that the gears run in oil
" -.~;3 and every part subject to friction is constantly

flooded with oil. The gear case is filled withnoil
and holds a supply sufficient to keep every bearmg

perfectly oiled for a year or more.
The improved Auto-Oiled Aermotor, is a wonderfully efficient
_ Windmill. If you buy any windmill which has not stood the test of
l 2 time you are taking a long chance. But you do not have to
experiment. There 1s nothing better than the Auto-Oiled Aermotor which has
demonstrated its merits wherever windmills are used.

SUMMER CARE WILL PREVENT
‘ 'EGG SLUMP *

F hens are neglected, profits will
decrease. Less grain is needed
under range conditions. Mash

should be fed from hoppers.

‘ It is poor economy to neglect the
hens during the rush of summer
work.

Those Who will be most success-
full will look carefully after the
flock during the summer months, as
this will determine to a large ex-
tent the profits to be realized. Under
free farm range conditions and with
production decreasing, however, it
will be necessary to reduce the

.amount of whole or scratch grain

and to feed mash in the hoppers.
This will force the birds to consume
more mash, and is the reason for
feeding less grain.

The grain mixture should be as
follows: equal parts of cracked corn,
wheat, and oats by weight. If wheat
is not available, then one-third corn
(whole or cracked) and two-thirds
oats, by Weight.

For the average farm flock the
following homemade mash will give
excellent results: equal parts of
wheat bran, Wheat middlings, corn
meal, ground oats and fish meal.
This should be kept before the hens
at all times and in a dry place. Feed
the mash in hoppers or troughs
which are covered with wire or slats.
This enables the chickens to get what
they wish,‘ but prevents waste in
scratching out the mash.» Grind
whole corn and heavy oats together
at the local mill, then add the other
ingredients.

Hens must be fed all they will eat
if they are to continue laying. Feed—
ing is the most important factor in
making the farm flock lay through
the summer and in giving them a.
long laying season. The hens must
be fed all they will eat from June
on if the period of laying is to be
sustained.

The good—looking, glossy birds
with deep yellow legseand .thick,
blunt pelvic arches, having poor ca—
pacity, are the ones which stopped
laying first and are taking a rest.
They should be culled as soon as pos—
sible. Laying hens have full, bright,
waxy combs, soft, pliable abdomens
and bleached-out shanks. These are
usually the ragged ones which have

u

just started to molt and should be
saved for egg producers during the
coming months

If a flock of birds can be selected
which does not stop laying until
October or November, the chicks
from these eggs will have a. marked
effect on the egg production» of the
following year’s flock. Early (molt-
ers, on the other hand, will likely
produce early molting chicks which
work short hours and eat just the
same.

By putting these facts into pract—
ice, poultrymen will dispose of the
boarders but keep the industrious
hens which don’t stop to change
their clothes until late in the season
after they have put in a. good, full
summer of work. —A G. Oliver,
Poultry Extension Specialist, North
Carolina. College of Agriculture.

 

HENS GET LAlle

I would like som+ information
concerning my ~hens as they are all
getting lame. They do not seem to
be sick and lay fairly good. They
also eat their feathers and always
look rough. It seems hard for them
to get around and then go lame.
——J. W. D., Shepherd, Michigan.

HE feather eating can usually be
stopped; by giving the birds
tankage or meat scraps. It does

not happen often the—birds are oh
range. Would also suggest that you
add about 5 lbs. of bonemeal to
each 100 lbs. of mash and give them
plenty of buttermilk. Your lame~
ness sounds like T. B. Why not have
your veterinarian examine one and
find out? I cannot tell from here but
it is that or rickets—Dr. G. H. Conn.

FEEDING YOUNG DUCKS

I would like to know the ‘best’ feed
for young ducks.—-—U. L. 0., Owosso,
Michigan.

E have found that one of the
most satisfactory duck feeds

is a wet mash made up of‘

equal parts corn meal, middlings.
ground oats, and bran. This mash
when moistened, and fed to the

ducks, proves very satisfactoiy, pro—
moting rapid growth. The ducks
should be allowed free range, and
given plenty of clean water.—C. G.
Card, ‘Professor of Poultry Hus—
bandry, M. S. C.

85 Hens Lay 10,0541 Eggs in 7 Months

cation in' M. B. F. what I think

is a good record with chickens.

A year ago the 12th of last May I
purchased 200 White Leghorn
chicks. I sold 91 broilers out of the
flock and had 91 pullets left. I got
my first egg November 15th, and
they laid just two dozen eggs in that
month.

From 'the first of December, last
year, up till the first of July, this
year,——seven months—I got 10.054
eggs or very nearly 838 dozens. We
ate a few hens, and lost some, and

I AM writing to give you for publi—

 

had 79 left at the end of June, mak-
ing an average of 85- hens for the
7-month period.

They laid, so the figures show, 118
eggs apiece in 222 days, 01‘ about
54 per cent without a bit of culling.
I culled out some the last of June
and have 58 left. I‘got 34 eggs to-
day, July 24th.—Ernest Belville,
Mesick, Mich.

(Editor’s Note: We think Mr.
Belville should feel proud of such a
record and are wondering if any of
the subscribers have a better one.
Let’s hear from you if you have.)

fields of alfalfa will be out before the
carrot ripens but evidently some
time great numbers of carrots have
gone to seed on them. The road
sides were like flower gardens.
Seems as if the authorities should at
least see that those in the highway

Wheat in Corn Field

“Do you advise sowing wheat in
corn field after corn is out?"

It has been done many times with
great success, andcan be recom-
mended if the corn ripens reasonably
early and the field is suitable for
wheat. Some of the best wheat we
ever produced was on corn stubble
ground. _ However, there are one or
two things which make the practice
too uncertain for a regular part of a.
rotation.

Many times the corn does not rip~
en early enough for wheat to be
sown in season. Some of these years
one could use a one-horse drill and
sow in standing corn. This is done
many times. This latter seeding is
more or less uncertain, as some

- years corn blows down so badly that

seeding can not be done until it is
cut. Whether seeded before, or after
corn is cut, some fertilizer should be
used.

It seems to be a tendency for all
of us to try and get the corn cut
just as early as possible and many
times we make a mistake and cut it
too early. If there is no danger of
frost, corn should be left as long as
possible, if the highest quality of
grain is to be secured.

A COMMUNICATION AND VALUE
OF BIRDS

(Continued from page 9)

nature was allowed to‘ take its
course unham‘pered, with the result
that thirteen hungry cats swarmed
over the premises! uSmall chance for
birds in that crowd.

Licensing cats in the same man-
ner as dogs are licensed might be an
effective way of keeping the number
of Cats within bounds and saving
many birds. ' ,

'The quail or “Bob-White” per-
haps takes the prize as an insect and
worm destroyer, but wrens, martins,
warblers and others do their share.
For instance one authority reports
finding 3,000 aphids in the stomach
of one yellow warbler. At this rate
warblers are cheaper than nicotine
sulphate! Among hawks and owls
are also several useful kinds which
live mainly on field mice and are
thus invaluable to the farmer and
fruit grower.

One bird-man (iBayne) says:
“Eight meadow mice have been
found in the study of a single marsh
hawk, but a part of their day’s food
supply * * * * Yet‘some farmers
will without hesitation shoot these
valuable hawks because hawks of_an

This incident is a good example of
curtailment of consumption due to
poor quality of goods, and stimula-
tion of consumption with goods of
fine quality.

to be exceptionally fine in quality.

Terry shook his head. “Guess not."

They rode on again. Suddenly Terry
stopped and threw up his hand. *

“Listen !” he exclaimed eagerly.

Doug strained his ears. Faint and far
away, a sound, so slight he wondered if
he imagined it. Then a slight breeze
sprang up and with it came clearer and
stronger, unmistakably the hunger bellow

Terry.

Business Outlook Considered Good "  

Hogs Appear To Be in Strong Hands—Large Receipts 'of Big Cattle

HE activity of business and gen-
eral prosperity is; not revealed
in the cattle market lately, but

. most other markets in live stock and

agricultural commodities as well as
manufactured goods are strong and
on a good profitable basis for the
producer. The cattle market has
been out of joint with other species
of live stock for many months, burd-
ensome'supplies resulting from a
generous crop of corn and rough—
ages last year being responsible for

the depressed condition' which pro-0

vailed most of this year. But even
that branch of the trade is expected
to show considerable improvement
before the year closes.
Business Outlook Good

After having made extensive sur-
veys of conditions throughout the
country, the Continental and Com-
mercial Banks of Chicago have found
thew right kind of material to paint
a bright picture of agricultural con-
ditions. According to the data turn-s
ished from their investigations the
American farmers will contribute a
purchasing power of over ten billion
dollars to the national prosperity
this year. Although this figure is
slightly under that of 1925, it is
still well above the average for the
last five years and indicates that
there will come a very large buying
movement from rural sections that
will find reflection in all lines of
trade and industry.

“'hcat Situation

The great wheat crop of the
country is trickling into the elevat-
brs all over the country and wheat
growers are watching the market
anxiously hoping that the bearish

reports which tend to depress the

markets may soon be overshadowed
by more bullish reports. The gov—
ernment report on wheat suggests
that we can spare around 200 mil—
lion bushels of that grain for export
this year, which would be sufficient
to permit clearances of over 15,000,-
000 bushels per month throughout
the crop year. The clearances during
the past two months have consider-
ably exceeded that figure but a
steady demand will be necessary to
maintain the outgo and prevent lib-v
eral accumulations at terminal mar-
kets. .

Milling demand for wheat remains
fairly active and so does the demand
in the flour trade, Acre yields this
year have been good and makes up
for the smaller acreage‘devoted to

wheat.
The tendency of France and Bel-
gium to stabilize their currency

through war time practice of econ-
omy will undoubtedly tend to keep
their buying down to a minimum
and will probably have its bad ef—
fect on the farmer’s pocket bet-k.
The crop in France is only normal.
Wheat Prices Stronger

Wheat markets recently have tak-
en an upward trend principally due
to the reduction in the estimates of
several leading foreign countries and
a bulge in the market at Liverpool.
Prices at Chicago advanced in face
of heavy profit taking with Septemb—
er reaching $1.39 and December
corn at $1.41. Coarse grains were
favorably influenced by the action of;
the wheat market and also showed
gains. September corn was recently
quoted at 79%c with December fut—
ures at 84% to 855/80. September
cats were quoted at 39%c for Sept—
ember an rdye_at $1.00%. ‘

Hogs Are Stronger

Hog prices improved materially
last week although there were daily
fluctuations which showed losses at
the close. During the past several
weeks, Monday runs have been fol~
lowed by liberal receipts and there
was no chance for prices to improve,

but last week, following the initial

day's .liberal receipts, supplies were
light. The hog market is showing
a much stronger tone and apparently

 

Mr. Hog is in strong hands.‘ There.

is plenty of corn in the, country and

heavy 'sow run has been marketed
and there is nothing on the horizon
that would indicate that large runs

will be continued until late in Sept-'

ember. In the meantime there will
be a normal demand for fresh pork.
These factors reflect the strong pos-
ition in which the hog is existing at
present. The past week’s perform-
ance of. cutting down runs following
a break in the market, illustrates
that the adjustment of supply to de-
mand has been quite effective. Prices
quickly advanced 25 to 50c with top
hogs being elevated to $14.10 before
the week closed. On the Monday
previous top hogs sold at $13.60.
Late in the week a spread of $13.70
to $13.90 represented light hogs av-

...w v,

sold around- $9.75 to $9.90 compared-

with $10.15 and $10.25 a week pre-
vious.

The packers got their fill of fat,

cattle and many traders at the Chi~
cago Yards said that they had ‘never
seen so many good live beef at the
Yards in One day as they did on
Monday, August 16 when 33,000
head were offered. The heavy run
of big ”cattle is expected to continue

for several weeks yet but sin’Ce the '

bulk of stock cattle which have gone

to the pastures during the last three.

months have been of light weights,
it is expected that the crop of heavy

bullocks would be much lighter dur—'

ing the last two months of the year.

This has been a year of plenty of

corn and roughage, and the "supply
of fat bovine has been much in ex-
cess of the demand. Cattle feeders
are now planing to replenish their
feed lots for next year’s performance
and are finding thin steers scarce
and gradually working into. high
money. A spread of $6.50 to $7.50

 

 

M. B. F. MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO

information and news of interest to farmers through radio sta-

tion WGHP of Detroit.
270 meters.

This station operates on a wave length of

 

 

eraging 160 to 190 lbs. with 225 to
265 lbs. medium weight butchers
going at $12.60 to $13.25 and heavy
butchers averaging from 270 to 350
lbs. at $11.80 to $12.50. The heavy
packing sowa also shared in the
week’s improvement selling at $10
to $11 late compared with $9.50 to
$10.50 earlier in the week.
Yearling Cattle Best Sellers
The cattle market at Chicago was
depressed by the most liberal re—
ceipts since the last of April and
prices decline from 25 to 75c, plain
heavy steers sharing the brunt of
the decline. The fat yearling con-
tinued to find favoritism with all
buying interests and prices on good
and choice little cattle held firm with
the top for the week being $10.75.
That price was 10c above the high
mark since the middle of last April
when $10.85 was last paid. Choice
baby beef heifers even sold up to
$10.50, another high mark for sev-
eral months for that class of cattle.
All in all, there was nothing wrong
with the market on fat light weights
but it was the burdensome supply of
big bullocks carrying a thick layer
of fat that caused the market to go
down. Prime weighty steers again

represented stocker and feeder cat-
tle during the past week, and they
were available at $5.50 to $6.75 a
month previous. Scarcity of west-
ern range cattle has been the prin-
cipal factor in limiting the, feeder
movement at Chicago as well as all
the western markets.

In the butcher stock market, cows
and heifers have shared in the re-
cent decline, big receipts being the
adverse factor. Prices on good cows
have ranged from $5.50 to $6.50
mostly with some choice corn feds
bringing $7.00 to $8.00. Most, butch—
er heifers including grassy kinds,
sold at $6.50 to $8.00 with fat baby
beeves quoted at $9.50 to $10.50.
Calves have been advancing to very
high levels, $14.00 to $15.00 taking
good vealers on last week’s market.
Bologna bulls continued around $6
to $6.25 with fat beef bulls selling
up to $7.00. Canner and cutter
cows are in strong hands, selling rel—
atively high in comparison with fut
cows. Canner and cutter cows have
been selling largely at $4.00 to $4.40
compared with $5.00 for a decent
grade of beef cows.

Sheep prices have been suffering
rather sharp declines but fat lamb

. WHEAT
The biggest thing in the wheat,

market right at present is the new:
that Canada is coming through with
a crop equal to last year. There Wt.
some doubt-about it for a time. es—
pecially in Saskatchewan, but during
the last three weeks there has been
a wonderful improvement in the
crop. As a result of this news the
market is easy with prices off. Wet

wheat continues plentiful in Micki?
'gan. . '

CORN

There is a bearish feeling prev-
alent in the corn market at present
due to the weakness in wheat and
large supplies at terminal markets.
Students
of the market predict higher prices
next winter.

OATS
Trading in cats is slow and the
market is easy. Michigan oats com-
ing to market are reported of peer
quality, grading No. 3 or worse.

RYE
Rye has worked down to a dollar
during the last couple of weeks and
the market does not seem to be any
too strong,
other grains.

_ BEANS , "
Elevators report a‘ liberal supply
of beans with very little demand.
Prices are five and ten centsunder

those quoted in our last issue,‘ and'
some students of the market are ex? ,

pecting the price to work down to
$4 per cwt. and remain around that
figure. This year’s crop is expected
to be at least a million bushels short
of last year’s.
POTATOES '
Potatoes were stronger at Detroit
at the close of last week with prices
on the rise. The new crop is coming
forward With farmers reported as

getting from $1 to. $1.50 per bushel. "

There should be a good demand for
choice Michigan stock as most of the
potatoes shipped in have not appear-
ed to be of the best grade.

‘ Week of' August 29-
THUNDER storms, wind, hail or
rain will locally hit many sec-
tions of Michigan during the

early part of the week of August
29th. 4 Temperatures at this time

will also be high for the season.

The weather will remain warm
until about the middle‘or the week
when it will become more seasonal
and at the some time the skies over
most of the state will clear off. This
condition will then last until about
Saturday.

During the last day of the week
the temperature- will again rise
somewhat and light showers may be

 

_- - ' Week of September 5

Aside from the very beginning of
this week in Michigan we are expect—
ing mostly fair skies and tempera-

tn‘res ranging seasonal to slightly be- .

  

low the normal .

Temperatures during the day time
will be warm but during the night
hours we expect them to be some-
what cooler.

Se 1

Averaging the weather conditions
for the month of September in Michi-
gan we expect temperatures will
range below the seasonal normal and
that precipitation will range from
normal to below. We also expect
frosts ahead of their schedule time.

The heaviest rainfall during Sept-
ember this year will come during
the week of September 19th. Re-
gardless how this forecast may sound
in regards to the growing crops we
do not believe it will be so severe
but that the end of the month will
show crop prospects fairly good to
good.

CORN BORER QUARAN'IINE
EXTENDED
(Continued from page 3)

lined is infested more or less with-

the borer.

There are now 69 State quaran-
tine ofllcers stationed on highways
traversed by automobiles coming
from infested counties, in addition
to 42, Boy Scouts whose work is to
look for evidence of the borers be-
hind the quarantined lines. Some of
the scouts are experts loaned by the
Federal Department of Agriculture.
The Federal authorities, Commis-
sioner Watkins says, is cooperating
heartily with the state authorities
in the ‘flght to maintain a successful
quarantine line, but as the work is
not interstate they can not direct,
but only assist with money and men.
Of corn in the cars of tourists com-
ing from quarantined counties 90
per cent is found infected. The grav-
ity of the menace, Mr. Watkins adds,
can be realized when it is known
that the borer not only gets into
clean sections through transporta-
tion Of infected corn, but the moths
may be carried by the wind for miles
into territory not previously infest-
ed before the eggs are laid and the
borer hatched. State Troopers de-
tailed by Alan G. Straight, commis-
sioner of the Department of Public
Safety, are assisting in enforcing the
quarantine in a most effective way.
When motorists pass quarantine
posts after being signaled to stop
and are found to have corn from in-
fested counties or shout insults at
the quarantine ofllcers, they receive
drastic treatment. Recently an auto-

' mobile dashed by a quarantine post.

The license number of the car was
noted and by use of the telephone a
State Trooper apprehended the driv-
er 15 miles away. A justice fined
him $50 and costs and sentenced
him to five days in the county jail.

“There is no heater to compare with the Bulldog. I burned
2%, tons of .coal last Winter and heated five rooms and a
bat ”. So writes Mr. Walter Geary, of Gloucester, Mass. That’s

what the Bulldog “does with coal! Now read, in the letter
of Mr. Redetzke, what it does with about the lowest
grade fuel you can think of! Why not cut down your fuel bills?
Cuts Coal Bills in Half

Heats Home for 25¢ a Week
"I can run my Bulldog furnace for fourteen days in normal
weather conditions on the actual cost of fifty cents." So writes
F.R. Redetzke, ofCleveland, North Dakota,and he adds : “Hard
to believe, is it? That's what some of my neighbors thought
until I showed them! We have an unlimited amount of grain
screenings in this country. That’s the fuel I am using."

Heats Seven Rooms Instead of One!
“Your letter received asking about the Bulldo furnace.
We have had ours in about six weeks and so ar it does
all Babson Bros. claim for it. We have seven rooms,
four on the first floor and three on the second, and it
heats them fine. As for being a fuel saver, we find it
takes a little more coal to heat the whole house than
it did to heat one room withastove using chestnut coal."

J. B. Smith, 19 Elm St., omerVille, N. J.

"I hadahot airfumace in our 7 room house before I got the Bull-
dog and our house was always cold. With the Bulldog it only takes
half as much coal and we had weather below zero, and the
house was nice and warm in the mornin when we got up. We
never have the draft on more than 8 ha hour at a time, and it
has the place red hot. It is easy to regulate and keep the fire all
day in mild weather. ' '
