' _ URING this week there has been
. held at Detroit the 1926 Michi-
'gan State Fair. Many of you
attended, spending hours going thru
the various buildings, full ofexhibits
of the finest live stock, of poultry,

ngrains, fruits, vegetables, machinery,

and many other things, and you were
enthused with it all. But a few of
I’your stopped to think of the picture

' in your mind how different the first

fair must have been when it was held
inthat same city seventy-seven years
before. . .

It was in the spring of 1849 that

‘. the Michigan State Agricultural So-

ciety was formed, the first meeting
being called by the governor and
members of his ,oflicial family. At
the meeting a constitution was
adopted that provided for an annual
meeting and fair to be held each
year between the first Monday in
September and the last, Monday in
Octdber. Memberships were then
-s licited. Anyone could join for one
ear upon paying a membership fee
of one dollar, or a life membership
could be purchased for only $10.00.
‘In May the executive committee
met to make arrangements for the
first annual fair, and it was decided
to hold it September 25th and 27th
at Detroit, providing the citizens

- would raise $500.00 to defray local

l

expenses. The society had only
eighty-five members at that time so
the funds in the treasury would not
go, far toward putting on the fair,
thus their appeal to Detroit. 1, With
a population of around 10,000 it did
not take that city long to raise the
required 'sum, making the first fair
a certainty.

Only Three Buildings

The grounds finally chosen as a j
good location are now in the heart

of the city, being a little east of
Grand Circus Park, and three build—
ings 50 by 100 feet were erected to
house the domestic manufactures,
agricultural an d floral exhibits.
Horses and cattle were shown out in
the open, tied to hitching posts.
'Swine and sheep were, kept in un-
coveredpen's. Speakers being popu-
lar in those days it was decided to
make this a leading feature and a
stahd was erected.

The state had a population of
about 300,000 at that time. Acres
of land under Cultivation was esti-
mated at slightly over 1,500,000,
compared with 18,036,700 in 1925.
In 1849 there were about 53,000
horses, over 210,000 cattle, about
153,000 swine and 610,000 sheep in
Michigan. According to the January
1, 1925, census there are now 495,-
699 horses, 1,416,535 cattle, 905,645
swine and 1,066,217 sheep in the
state. The totals of these figures in-
dicates that there was one quarter
as much live stock in the state in
1849‘as at present and you may won-
der at the' small number of exhibits,

' but yen must keep in mind that

transportation in those days was not
what it is today and, although the
Michigan Central Railroad did make
a special freight rate of only one-
“quarter on exhibits coming from
their territory, many f a r m e r s

 grought stock and other exhibits 40

He was born in 1840 on a farm in Maeomb county, and at-

of his father’s sheep to it to exhibit. Since then he has

well known today were entered, most
of them being short horn Durham,
Ayrshire and Devon. ,
Eighty—five horse entries were
made, 35 being stallions, 20 breeding
mares, and 30 gelding and matched.
At that time, we are told, there were
no horses of established breeds, but
those shown were named of certain
strains or families, as Young Eclipse,
.Fox Hunter, Copper Bottom, etc.
Berkshire was the only type of hog
represented and there were only four

HE,National Dairy Exposition to
be held at--- the state fair
grounds, Detroit, October 6 to

13, offers the farmers of Michigan
an excellent opportunity to obtain
a panorama of the dairy industry in
their own “back yard.”

There are many farm folks who
have wanted to attend this exposi-
tion for many years, but have not
been able to do so because of the ex-
pense and time it would take. This
year, for the first time in its history,
the exposition is to be held in De-
troit. The dreams and hopes of
many will be realized.

The importance of this exposition
to the state is realized more fully>
when it is considered that Michigan

.ranks ninth as a dairy state. The
1924 statistics of the United States
Department of Agriculture show that
on January 1, 1925, there were near-
ly one million milk cows on Michi-
gan farms with a value of sixty mil-
lion dollars. The state ranks fifth
in the number of pure bred cattle.
In the number of cow-testing asso-
ciations, Michigan is exceeded only
by Wisconsin. '

The exposition will present a cross,
section of the whole dairy industry,
from production to consumption,
that can; be obtained in no other
way. The leading pure bred and
grade cows of the United States and
Canada, winners from state and sec-
tional fairs will compete for the

, year’s dairy honors. Boys and girls
from every state in the union, and
college students, will. engage in
Judging contests. A Women’s Di- .

sheep in those days and among the
twenty shown there Spanish, French
and Saxon types, Goats, mules,
ponies and dogs were also entered,
a total of five being on exhibit.

Apparently not much space was
required for the fruit exhibits as
there were only 17 apples, five pears,
ten peaches, one nectarine, three
plums, eleven grapes and eight
quinces shown. The vegetable dis-
play was made up of 34 exhibits.
Fourteen samples of butter and four
of cheese were there as part of the
dairy show.

Where Dairying Holds the Spot Light

be of especial interest to Michigan
farmers. Nobody is eligible who has
ever had any experience judging or
who has had instruction in the art.
Many Michigan farmers will enter
this contest and much interest will
be aroused.

A genuine interest is being shown
in the National Show according to
W. E. Skinner, Secretary and Gener-
al Manager of the National Dairy
Association. On July 26, headquart—
ers were established at 701 Book
Building, Detroit. Since that time,
scores of people have called at the
office for first hand information con-
cerning the exposition, and numer-
ous inquiries have been received.

Entries At Michigan’s First State Fair

1 f - Exposition in 1849 Was Held on Ground Now in Heart of Detroit

The women folks put up quite an
exhibit of needle, shell and wax work,
there being 86 entries, while in bread
baking they fell down badly with
only three exhibits. Twenty-two
samples of domestic manufactures
were there, as well as seven of fine
arts, six of honey and one of sugar.

Without a doubt one of the lead-
ing events of the exposition was the
plowing contest, in which five teams
were entered. Which man could
handle his team and plow so as to
turn the nearest and straightest fur-
row was the big question at that
time, and caused as much excitement
as a pulling contest nowadays.

The remainder of the entries were:
field crops, 34; fowls, 7; farm imple-
ments, 44; flowers, 15; and mis-
cellaneous, 85. This made a total
of 623 exhibits.

Make Neat Profit

Expenses in putting on the fair
and paying premiums amounted to
more than was raised by subscrip-
iton, which caused the ofiicials some
alarm, however, when the books were
balanced not only were all expenses
paid but there was a balance on
hand of $1,264.05

Receipts amounted to $3,932.91,
and came from the following sources:
state, $400; membership, $1,198;
single admissions, $1,301.10; articles
sold, $36; city subscription, $523;
sale of lumber, $465.81. We take
the “sale of lumber” to -mean that
after the fair the buildings were torn
down and the lumber sold.

Expenses were: premiums, $808.-
50; carpenters and rent, $1,114.66;
general incidental expense, $736.70;
or a total of $2,659.86. The entire
premium list mounted to $1,000 but
exhibits were not entered in some
classes so only $808.50 were paid out.

Officials were very well pleased
with the success of thefirst fair,
it is told, and felt greatly encour—
aged. The people had joined in with
the officers in making it a public in-
stitution, and with their books bal-
ancing on the right side, they looked
forward to the second fair, to be
held in 1850, with much hope.

SHORT COURSES SOON START
ONDAY, October 25th, is the
date set for the opening of the

WATER PROOF BASEMENT

I have a house with a cellar under
and I have quite a time 'keéping it
dry, especially a wet spring like this
year. The water seems to cOme
The cellar
was built too low for a sewer outlet.
To make a first class job of it I
would have to raise the cellar at
leasttwo feet. This would cost a

-lot of money as this is a large house.

Is there not a cheaper way of mak-"
ing this cellar water proof? I was
advised to put a new coat of cement
mixed with a commercial water

proof. Would that make it water
proof? How thick should I make
the coat? Would that bind together

with the old cement or is there some
other method by which I could make
the cellar dry?—-R. S.,, Pinconning,
Michigan.

TTEMPTING to waterproof a
basement or cellar from’ the in-
side is a rather difficult job and

involves some considerable expense.
It is questionable whether plastering
the floor and side walls with water
proof cement motar would be very
efiective. If it is attempted it is
very important that the old surface
to which it is applied be made chem-
ically clean by washing with a di-
luted solution of hydrochloric acid
and water. The proportion should
be one part acid to ten parts water.

Another way which would be more
effective but more expensive as well
would be to coat the entire surface
and side walls to be water proofed
with asphaltum in which is laid one
or more thickness of tar paper so
that the entire surface including the
joints is then covered with hot as-
pha-ltum, the second floor having a
thickness of perhaps two inches or
more with side walls of sufficient
thickness of. perhaps four inches to
protect this coating. Using reason-
able care in this method of water
proofing should insure thorough pro-
tection.-—-H. H. Musselman, Profess-
or of Agricultural Engineering.
Michigan State College.

EARTH WORMS

Do earth-worms live on the plant
food in the soil? Do they cause the
soil to become hard? What can be
done to get rid of them? They seem
to be more abundant in the richest
soil.——-R. 8., Marion, Michigan.

AltTH worms are usually consid—
E ered beneficial in most places.

To be sure, on golf links we do
not want them, and here and there
in other places they are somewhat
troublesome. However, I have an
idea that they do just as much good
as harm, perhaps a little more. They
live on plant food and often pull
the leaves of grasses, onions, etc.,
down into their tunnels in the soil.
I do not consider that they ever do
enough harm to justify one in going
to extremes to bring about their
destruction, except perhaps in golf
links. There a thorough wetting of
the soil with corrosive sublimate
(bichloride of mercury), use at the
rate of three ounces to a barrel of
water brings them to the surface and
usually kills them quite efiectively.
The large species of angleworms
sometimes are troublesome in onion
patches, but only occasionally do
they seriously injure the crop.—R.

TENAN’I‘ HAS RIGHT (no stunn-

OF STRAW

I rented my farm last year on the

50-50 basis. No straw to 'be‘ remov-
ed from the farm. As Ihave no one
living on the farm this year I have
decided to sell the straw. and use the
money for fertilizer. The renter
says if I sell the straw he will claim
one-half of the money. Have I a
right to sell the straw under thecon-
ditions?-—D. L. A., Sturgis, Mich.

TBAW is considered the same as
grain and the tenant has a. right
to his share of-the same unless

there are clauses. in the lease re-
stricting him from removing it from
the farm which is quite a. common
practice.

It is my opinion that straw left
on the farm at the expiration of the
lease as in the above case would be
the property of the landlord and he
could do as he saw fit with it. How-
ever, the equitableness of this prob-
lem will hinge somewhat on the
amount of straw on the farm at the
beginning of the lease period in
question.—F. T. Riddell, Research
Assistant, M. S. C.

 

NOT OVER 7 PER CENT

Have the state banks or citizens
banks the right to charge over 7%
interest on .notes?—J. A., Harbor
Beach, Michigan. '

EVEN per cent is the legal rate
in Michigan and anything above
that amount would be usury and

the bank would not have the right
to charge over this amount. More
than 7% can be. charged only by-
small loan companies organized un-
der special act of the legislature for
the purpose of making loans of small
amounts under $300.+Legal Editor.

GETTING NAMES OF JURYMEN

Where does .the judge of a county
court get thenames that make up
the jurymen? I have a friend that
thinks he would like to’ serve as a,
juryman, but doesn’t know how td
go about it.—E. 8., Hudson, Mich. ‘

/HE supervisor and township.
clerk make up the list of jury-
men from the assessment roll.

The law does not permit them to.
select any person who has made ap-
plication, or in Whose behalf appli--
cation has been made to serve on the
jury. Consequently, your friend will
have to Wait until he is chosen be«
fore having the privilege of‘serving
as puryman.——Legal Editor.

 

MEMBER OF BOARD

I am town treasurer, also justice
of the peace. It will soon be time
to come on the town board. Would
I be a member of the board or not
because holding treasurer?—-R. T.
D., Glennie, Michigan. ‘

0U would not be prevented from

being a member of the town-

ship board and township treas-
urer also, unless your duties would
conflict. I 0 not see that there
would be any conflict so as to make
you ineligible for either office.—

GOOD SEED

UCH hasbeen said in the past

in regard to good tillage and

' ground preparation and the
question of seed has been given con—

. sideration, but there is not a prob-
lem of farming that is slighted as
much by the average farmer as is.

the problem of good seed.

Good seed, means not only seed
of good germination, but, it means
an adaptable seed of extra purity.
The climate and the type of soil on
your farm has a great deal to do
with the choosing of one's seed, and
one should adhere to the policy'of
using a seed that is suited to his
section rather than using a seed that
carries a fancy name

As a usual thing there is seed in
one’s neighborhood that will yield
better than most of the fancy and
new grains found in the seed cata-
logs. It is a fact that seed corn
moved not over twenty miles will
perform very much different than
on the ground it came ‘from. Then
corn raised on good rich sandy
ground will make a poor showing
on heavy clay soil and seed that ma-
tures in the’southern tier of count-
ies of Michigan does not do as Well
three or four counties north.

Wheat and oats are not affected
as much by short changes in distance,
but there is quite a difierence in the
type of soil that they will grow on.
Of the two leading kinds of wheat
in Michigan, Red Rock and American

Banner, Red Rock, Will " perform
rather poorly on soil where the other ‘

will do fine and vice-verse.»

0n the heavier types of soil, Har-
vest King does better. than American
Banner. But" on light soils of a
sandy order, American Banner and

a Harvest King usually makes a better

showing. But I have seen American
Banner yield '40 bushels per acre
on heavy soil, which out-yielded the
other wheat of the neighborhood by
more than 10 bushel but this was
due more to good tillage and extra
good fertility. '

The biggest crop raised in Michi-_
gan was raised by Harry Gleason ‘on
a farm northeast of Cassopolis on
the Young’s Prairiefion ground that
had been limed and a clover crop
turned down with a heavy application
of raw rock phosphate plowed down
with the clover. This wheat yielded
61 bushels per‘acre on ten acres and
was'the Red Gennesee variety and I
might add that the largest yield of
oats raised in Michigan was raised
by the late L. L. Lawrence of Deca-
tur, on the Nicolsville Prairie. --The
variety being Worthy and the yield
was 108 bushels per acre on ten or
twelve acres, the ground being alfalfa
sod. But in both of these cases the
“kick” in the ground did the real
work.

Clean Grain Has Better Chance

Good clean grain always has a
chance to do better than foul grain.
but if you look in the average farm-
er's drill you will find cockle, rag—

 
 
 
 
   

, db
.  yam 
grain by either the fermaldehy'de 50

copper sulphate treataient.‘ but where; 
one farmer does :treat *four or five

  
 

don’t. V a g

It is not a hard job to keep grain
clean it one tends to business and
does it every year. These foul seeds
hold over in one's land and will con;
tinue to come, up each wear, but if
one is persistent you can win. Per-—
sonall'y, I have been raising Red
Rock for the last ten years and this
year I did not have a stalk of rye. or
cookie and each year I have the grain

boxes swept out thoroughly and all ,
- the bundle wagons cleaned in the

same manner, then I take the first
fifty bushels of wheat to mill or mar-
ket. I have been called. an old wo-
man and made all sorts of fun of
but the whole process takes about
ten or fifteen minutes and saves four v
or five days going over the fields
pulling rye and cockle out. It looks
to me like the best paying ten or
fifteen minutes ‘work of the whole
year on the farm. It is a sad fact
but you will find men so bull-headed
or mean that it is a hard time to
get them to sweep out their wagon
but they can be got to come across
if necessary.

To sum it up, first we must have
seed that is adapted to our condi-
tions. It should be clean seed, it
should be treated for smut, it should
be sown in the proper season and on
ground in the best state of tillage
and fertility. This being done we
can g to bed nights feeling secure
that wave done our bit.

Class A marl deposits were notified
and asked to meet on Wednesday,
August 18th,‘in the county agent's
ofiice if they wished to seriously con-

‘ ' fact ' is, revealed that‘but 'one—
 \A ' halt ofthe. electors cast a bal-
C lot when the opportunity is present
' and this fact does notspeak well for
the best interests of our state. It
is,the positive duty of every quali-
, fled elector to cast an intelligent and
‘ ' helpful ballot when the opportunity
’ is presented, remembering that in
ages past the neglect or misuse of
the ballot box has caused recourse
to the terrible cartridge box. '
0n the coming September 14th
the opportunity will be again pre-
sented for the selecting of those cit-
izens into whose care the interests
of the people of Michigan are to be
placed and conditions demand the
selection for public office those citi-
zens who will dem it as their just
duty the faithful caring for the best
interests of the people of Michigan
and it is earnestly hoped that every
elector—both men and women—will
do their plain duty in this manner.

fail to help select and elect men
who will deem it is their first duty
the careful and faithful caring for

AIDING THE FARMER
' 0 THE‘ EDITORz—I have for
some years read your interest-
ing, instructive paper, and as I
was reared on a farm I always find
something attractive in all it con—
tains.

A few days ago as I was on the
boat from Detroit to Port Huron I
saw vast expanses of wild'grass for
many miles on either side which
seemed in many cases a formation
of roots and decay, years of growth,
floating on the water, and the
thought came to me “Who can ar—
range in some way to interest some-
one to change the floating vegeta—
tion from the water to the farms?

A large scow would carry its
capacity of farm trucks, these could
be filled by steam shOvels, and thus
supply the needed elements on most
farms.

We see two farms side by side,
each having the same crop, one a
large and vigorous farm and the
other withered. One . filled with
golden grain and the other dried up.
We ask the reason and we'are told
one farmer fed the soil and gave
proper cultivation. The other was
neglected and left to care for its
self. We are told that the neglected
farm lacks certain elements which
are in abundance in other parts of
our state and the thought comes to
me why not make these farms pro-
ductive and in some way change the
energy of the farmer who neglected
to feed his farm and stir up the soil
enough to hold the moisture to pro-
duce large crops. We are here to
do others good with a smile, a pleas—
ant word, or a kind suggestion.
Why not the state take hold 'of this,
furnish the chemist to determine the
needs of the farm and furnish trans-
portation. Second year valuation
would increase thus bringing more
taxes which would soon bring back
money advanced. Increase of crops
[would mean more transportation.
and. thus repay advanced transporta-
tion. “:Men of thought and men of
action clear the way.”——-Aaron B.
Gates, 5457 Woodward Avenue, De-.
troit, Michigan. ‘

Couldn't Keep Awake

Two men were arguing over the fact
they had never heard or a negro commit-
ltlng suicide. Various reasons were offer-
a: but they could not agree why it was,
and finally decided to put it up to the
first dorky that came along. This is the
reply he tot:
‘ “W'ell, yoh see it am dismay. When
a. white pusson has ainy trouble he jest
sits down an’ tits a-thinkin’ an’ a-ttudin'

changes of oil a year are enough,
when you own a 192 7 Buick.

The crankcase in the 1927 Buick
is «vacuum cleaned! A vital new im'
provement—the Vacuum Ventilao

out into the open before they have
an opportunity to do harm.
Now, all that is necessary is to add
oil occasionally and change 4 times

ETHER you intend buying a hus—
ker or not, be sure and [see the
Rosenthal “Steel 4-”. It marks a
real milestone in the improvement of
farm equipment, and for that reason
alone you will like to look it over. Any
Rosenthal agent will be glad to show it
to you, and if you are interested will tell
you how easy it is to try it on your own

with your own corn, under our
money-back guarantee. Or write us if

~ you do not know our local agent.

Throughout every part you will see the
hand of genius which has made the Rosen-
thal name stand for so much among farm.
ers who really know corn huskers. It
brings the advantages of all-steel construc-
tion to a machine ideally suited to the
most popular sized tractors. It is just what
we say it is — more than a corn husker.
It is the climax of the 37-year-old ideal
of the inventors of the corn husker.

A DIFFERENT TUNE"

ENTION of the weather has been
made in these columns more or
less all summer, and since July

first, dry weather and the need of
rain has been the principal carol, but
one extreme nearly always fOIIOWs
another and ' it
has been so with
the weather. In
fact, it seems we
are having al-
most too much
weather just now
‘ — b u t nothing
_ seems to be done
about it, only
that we have a
different t u n e .
However, I can
not see that the
weather has been
too wet for crops

 

L. W. ,mns

other than oats, and sOme cut alfalfa.
Alfalfa hay can notebe made’ with-

out dry air and sunshine. These
have been so minus in quantity for
the past three weeks many have not
yet cut their alfalfa the second time.
Some still in the bunch where it has
lain for three weeks, and the new
growth is six or eight inches high.
This is too bad, for the alfalfa is
quite likely to be killed out, under
these bunches. I know of a field
that was left in the bunch so long
last fall that the plants under them
were smothered out and the hay
spoiled besides. If it is not in fit
condition to store away, it would be
far better to draw this alfalfa and
spread it in. the pasture lot or on
next. year’s corn ground, than to let
it remain too long in a good alfalfa
field.

Oats are not seriously hurt al-
though they may be a little off color
but the straw is quite badly damaged
for feeding purposes and this is what
the majority of farmers planned to do
with it. Speaking of oats and wet
weather brings up the subject of
the best way to shock them—open
or closed. In the final analysis, no
one way has all the advantages and,
as is common with all farm: practice,
the ideal way one way may be the
ornery way the next. Some of the
best farmers cap the shocks, and
some of the best set them up in
long openshocks. We generally cap
them but this year one field was set
up in long shocks and when we
threshed the wheat, this field was
in fine condition to thresh and we
did. The other fifield was in capped
shocks and not dry enough to thresh,
sorthey were left—and while we were
able to stack one field between
showers, the others are still in the
field and have been set over' five
times! In fact their setting days
are about over, for the bundles are
not in condition to stay “set” any
longer, and if tomorrow is bright we
shall try and pile them up—they
wouldn’t make what could be called
a stack!
~This wet weather has been ideal
for the newly sown alfalfa and con-
siderable has been sown in this sec-
tion. We were to pasture one of this
year’s fields next year, and as the
clover Seeding was a failure we
drilled rye in it, and then sowed

 

ying it in the same field.



sweet clover "With the dime-going  a
cross wise of the rye drilling. This

is in the field we thrashed. The

field we have stacked also lost, thé 
clover and we have sown\rye, and . v 4
sweet clover the same as the other ’

field. This can grow. unmolested
next year unless we pasture it a. week
or ten days in early spring. The idea

here is to get a. growth to plow under. -

It is a field in our potato rotation.
It is possible that next June wemay

it lie, if it seems to be ten much for. a

the clover. You see we talk of the
clover as being a sure thing. 'We‘ll,
if, when spring comes, the, sweet
clover we have just sown doesn’t
show up, we shall sow some more.
Alfalfa and sweet clover have done
well on this field before, without

lime, but in order to know what lime,

will do on this field, we have sown
some on a test plot. I believe all
farmers might test out lime on every
field with profit. Many fields would
not benefit much by it, while many
would show great results from it's
use. The best way to find out is to
try a test plot. _

In sowing the rye and sweet clover
we used our disk drill. . All our farm
tools seem indispensable, but perhaps
there is no one implement put to
more use than our drill. It surely
would be a hardship to part with it
and have to use a tooth drill again.
While there are many good tooth or
hoe drills in use, I am sure no farmer

would be sorry if be replaced it with :

a disk. Many would profit by using
some fertilizer but as their drill will
not sow it—and they are reluctant to
use some one else’s—the fertilizer is
not sown. We use our drill even for

' sowing clover seed alone, as then the

clover tubes are put directly into
the grain discharge spouts. This
gets the seed just as deep or as shal-
low as you want it. However any
complete fertilizer and grain drill is
too heavy when used as a clover seed
drill, and in no distant future we are
going to add a regular grass seed
drill to our equipment. Many think
these grass seed drills are too light
to be serviceable, and soon go to
pieces. To my knowledge somehave
around here, but they were not used
with discretion. They are not in-
tended to chop up hard stony ground
and to get seed into it. If the
ground is‘too hard for them it should
be harrowed. What—barrow the
wheat in the spring before using the
drill to sow clover seed? Yes, mod-
erate use of a springer or disk har-
row on Wheat in spring will not hurt
it, and ‘many times may be of benefit.
Then a little grass seed drill will sow
the seed perfectly. I have no doubt
many of us farmers are paying for
such machines, whether we get them

' or not.

Two or three years ago I tried
broadcasting alfalfa seed, and drill-
Half the
seed was broadcasted, and then the
drill was used to sow the other half,
and at the same time cover the
broadcasted seed. Very little of the
broadcasted seed gave an account of
itself, but the drilled seed was very
satisfactory. In fact, had- all of the

City.” In an attempt to increase the
demand for oranges the California
organization opened a demonstration

* store at this resort. The store sells

orange juice by the class and was
equipped with six extractors with
which the juice is “squeezed out”
of fresh oranges before the eyes of
the customer. Whatbetter evidence
could a customer have of the genu—
ineness and purity of his drink! The
store's first season lasted 202r days
and its records, given by the U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Cooperation,
show that during this time an aver-
age of 1,327 glasses were sold each
day. The best day made a record of
5,304 glaslses. The best part of the
story however, is the fact that three
carloads of fruit were profitably dis-
posed of by this one soft drink store
and that a number of juice extract-
ors were sold to ,other stores.

If this can be done with oranges
then why. can it net be done with
Michigan fruits such as apples,
grapes and cherries?

Fruit growers are ever on the
lookout for new outlets for their
products and a demonstration such
as was put on at Atlantic City could
conceively be duplicated in Michi—
gun with Michigan fruit, through
our present organizations. Think of
the advertising advantage enjoyed
by fresh health-giving fruit juice as
compared with. the colored water
which is dispensed so freely.

,The soft drink- business is an
enormous one but most of the drinks
sold are nothing but artificially flav-
ored “pop”. To quote the Maine

, Experiment station, “The production

and’sale of these goods are now very
large and are estimated to be ap-
proximately 275,000,000 gallons for
the whole country. The field is an

» attractive one as the material costs

but little andsells at a good price.
The chief cost is in the containers
and labor of bottlin . The small
amount of sugar, arti cial color and
flavoring used to give the liquid
some character and imitate the flav-
or, which its label bears, costs but

a trifle, and the person who indulges ~

in these drinks comes the nearest to
getting nothing for, his money of
any purchase he can make."

It is estimated that about $400,—
000,000 was spent in this country
for pop and like drinks in 1925 if
the American people are willing to
spend this huge amount for sweeten-

ed water flavored with chemicals and

colored with dye then surely they

" could be induced to transfer at least

a portion of their patronage to fresh
pure fruit juice, both preserved in

PART FOUR
They Lose an Engine

OR a time the boys ,sat considering
the draw. The Sides were too steep
' to ride either up or down.
"We'll have to ride down to the mout ,"
said Doug. “Only way to get to ’em.
“Come on !" Terry set spurs to his
horse. . ‘
They found the mouth two miles down.
It was completely blocked by a huge
drift, eight or ten feet in depth. It ap-
peared to be impossible to break thru.
but by taking turns they forced their

'horses against it, until at last they broke

their way thru.

Inside they found the missing cattle,
sixty of them, mostly steers, thin from
hunger. but still bright-eyed and-strong.
“We’ll have to thank Snakey for this."
said Doug.

“Correct,” said Terry. “He's good for
something after all. Won’t Dad's eyes
stick out when we bring them in !”
“Don’t look much like beef- to me," said
Doug doubtfully, eyeing their thin forms.
“Not this year. But they’ll top the
market next fall. We’ve got plenty of
hay to winter them on. For cash'we'll
have to depend on the grain altogether
this year. Wish it was threshed."

“Let’s start them moving," said Doug.

“It’s near noon now. I’ll lead Snakey
and break trail."
So they started, Doug breaking the
trail with the cattle strung out single
file behind, and Terry bringing up the
stragglers.

The sun had sunk when Doug rode
down the long, winding trail that led
into the corral, with the line of hungry,
bellowing cattle strung out behind him.

The whole family. including Mort, was
out to see. Mary was excitedly jumping
up and down, Mort was pointing and
talking. Mr. Muir was coughing—more
from habit than necessity. for he was im-
proving ‘rapidly; and Mrs. Muir was
laughing.

“Hello, folks!” called Doug.
man and beast,.please." ,

“Boys and. beast, you mean;
you?” said Mary.

“Have your own way," said Doug, dis-
mounting wearily. “I'm. too tired to ar-
gue with you; wait till after supper.
But please let's have soup for supper. I
haven’t the stamina. to tackle a biscuit."

“You boys go on in the house," said
Mr. Muir.‘ “Mort and I will take care
of the cattle."

There is no satisfaction equal to the
satisfaction that results from hard work
well rewarded. It was a happY. con-
tented group that circled the supper table
that night. Nor was Doug too tired to
jolly Mary about the biscuits.

"You know those biscuits you sent for
our lunch yesterday?" he asked, looking

at her.
She nodded.
“Well, we were pretty hungry last

night—but there was one we couldn’t
manage. Took turns at it, Terry and I
did, but we couldn’t make a. dent. Fin-
ally broke out a. tooth on it, got mad
and threw it thru the chinking. ‘When
we got up this morning we heard a lot of
jay-birds making an awful fuss outside."
He paused and glanced at Terry. “Am I
telling it right, Terry.”

Terry grinned and nodded.

“Well,” continued Doug, “they had
found that biscuit and were taking turns
at it, just as Terry and I had done, but
in a different way. One would hop up
and drive his bill against it. >Then he
would screech like everything. It would

most turned a. back somersault, and came
down on that biscuit. Bing! and—what
do you suppose happened?” he asked.
looking at Mary.

“Oh, I suppose he got at least a.
crumb, didn't be?”

“No, sir. Broke his bill square off!"

There was a. general laugh. Mort broke
in by asking: _

“Do you know whether you bought a
share in the threshing rig when you pur-
chased this outflt, Mr. Muir?"

Mr. Muir shook his head. “No, I didn't.
I was given the privilege of purchase, but
decided not to. As a rule, a threshing
rig owned by a number of people doesn’t
pay.” .. _ ‘

"You made a mistake there, I believe.
As far as the rig is concerned, it doesn't
pay; but if ybu fail to get your grain
threshed, it would. You see, this rig is
owned by the grain growers around here.
Haying, cattle gathering, grain harvesting
and threshing come in a. pile. Threshing
is last and if the snow starts early they
have 0 hustle like everything to finish
before it stops them, and they don't as a.
general rule, thresh a. grain more than
they have to." .

“You mean there is a likelihood of our

not get ing the greain threshed?” asked .

Mr. M r.

" S like this," explained Mort. “It's
dan er us to move a. rig on the mountain
roa s t any time, and especially after
sno \ mes. This ranch is the hardest
of all to get to. I believe,” he finished.
“they have their meeting at the school-
house tonight. Want to go down?"

"Yes," said Terry,’ promptly. “We've
got to have that grain threshed."-

“Not much use of me going,’ said Mr.
Muir. “You boys can do allithere is to
do." So Terry, Doug and Mort rode down'
to the little schoolhouse, two miles be-.
low, .where they found twenty-five or
thirty ranchers gathered. And, in the
flickering light of a dozen lanterns it was
an unusually rough looking group.

The three found seats near the back of
the room, and waited until the' men had
finished the arrangements and the sched-
ule of moving the rig and were prepar-
ing to leave. Then Mort arose and said:

“These boys would like to know wheth-
er you will thresh for them or not. They
are willing to pay any reasonable price,
and they have a big lot of good grain
to thresh.”

Ching Middleton, an old-timer, grizzled
and furrowed by sixty mountain._winters,
‘had been appointed manager.

“We don’t," he said, speaking 9.10le,
“as a. general thing, thrash for anybody
outside the company. You know that;
Mort. We found it don't pay. But we'll‘
put it to a vote."

A man near the ffront jumped up nois-

are expensive."

Kord wasn't liked, but he spoke the
truth, and when it came to a. vote, they
[voted solidly against it, and that settled
the matter. The meeting broke up.

“Only got one more chance," said Mort.
“Tex Sellers is foreman for the U Bar.
Carey owns the ranch. He’s got two
shares in the machine. Mebby he’ll sell
one. Oh. Tex” he called. “Wait a. min-
ute.” '

A tall, rangey man, whose tanned face
was unmistakably honest, paused. ‘

1 Gen. 4:9.

“Thou shalt not kill." Exodus 20:30.

I'Whosoever hateth his~ brother is a
murderer, and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him." 1 John
.‘15.

.Fort Worth, Texas on July 17,,

a Christian minister shot and

killed a friend and brother. On
the following day, in apparent com-
placency this minister preaches the
text, "There is therefore no condemn-
ation to them who are in Christ
Jesus." What kind of religion. is
this? Are we to imply from this
man’s demeanor that he would make
murder morally defensible? -Do
killing moods belong to Christian
charter? Let us see.

ur Texas preacher and his friend
w e talking with one another. Cer-
tainly this is alright. But they were
talking about matters that had their
roots in religion. And nothing
wrong here. But words grew hot
and sputtering, the preacher's re-
ligion failed to tame his soul, and
the next morning paper came out
with a head-line that humiliated the
whole Christian church.

This reminds one of a time when
the world was young. Two brothers
were in. the field talking. Their
controversy was over certain impli-
cations and acts of their religion.
Cain grew angry and "rose up
against his brother and slew him.”
And sinm'ng man has consistently

f kept up this horrible practice. Scores

of murder are yet reported daily and
we have to rub our eyes and wonder

" whether our civilization is pagan or

Christian.

“Am I my brother’s keeper?"
These words of Cain seam to imply
that he intuitively felt» responsible
for his brother’s life, the it counter-
ed with his own wish and will. “Thy

-~ brother's blood crieth unto me from

y’ a 1316'

the ground” infers a law that God
would make fundamental in the so-
cial realm. Any desire to cut our-
selves off from the welfare of others;
any disclaiming of social responsi-
bility in ruinous selfishness. So God
early set to work with the race to
mnect this lurking sin which has

. murder as a dread expression.

We are called upon to discipline
and temper the soul to the Divine
state of brotherhood. "Why art
thou wroth," said God to Calm; and
“do thou rule over it." We need a
religion that will master envy and
anger. The root trouble with Cain
was hatred. Whom did he hate?
One who had the same mother and
went to the same church. Why did
he hate him- because he was good.
Why did the pharisees hate Christ?
Because of his transparent goodness.
But wasn’t their religion respect-
able? 0 yes. And some of this
kind remains to this day. It puts
on its Sunday clothes and goes to
church, but ever and again it breaks
out in envy and tyranny. It is State-
ly in its traditional orthodoxy but it
lacks social sensitiveness. A reli-
gion that breeds envy and diversion
is diseased at its roots. “If there-
fore thou art offering thy gift at
the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath aught against
thee, leave there thy gift before the
altar, and go thy way, first be recon-
ciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift.” This is the es-
sence of the Christian religion, to
get along together. All else is shell.
Let Christ have the last word. “The
words that I have spoken unto you”
said he, “are spirit and.are life.”

But the race continued to kill hu-
man’s for religion’s sake, and God
gave the command, "Thou shalt not
kill.”
prohibitiOn from which there is no
appeal. But we do not today under-
stand. Murders are daily defying
God. .gOvernment, and law shaming

' {the '.twent-ieth ' century. We hurry

to lay it on the war, or prohibition.

trouble is deeper doWn than this.

the murder mood sweeping the
country? How depraved our social
sense! ‘

God’s mark is upon all life. It is
sacred. Man shall not violate it. But
the command widens to the states
of the heart. “Wh‘ososever hateth
his brother is a murderer.” This
word is quick and powerful and

piercing even to the intentions of”

the heart. Murder before God need
not be an outWard act, but only a
heart desire or passion. How many
unsuspected murders there are walk-
ing among us! Verily, let us have
a faith that conquers the murder
mood and works good toward our
neighbor. .

"No murderer hath eternal life
abiding in him.” This is judgment.
The old law of murder was, “Whose—
ever shall kill shall be in danger of
the judgment." But another has
said, “Whosoever is angry with his
brother shall be in danger of the
judgment.” Christ says that malig-
nant anger is in the nature of kill-
ing; that the envious desire that is
kept caged in the heart is in the
same moral category as the outward
act. This is hard. He who carries
this sin cannot escape the conse-
quences. But the sentence imposed
is not so stern but that he who seeks
forgiveness may have eternal life.

Christianity is a religion of mot-
ive; Mt. 5:20, 1 Cor. 13. It is car—
ried lower down than the head. This
kind of religion Will c nse motives
and desires. A religiérzathat is kept
in the head as but a' ries of theo-
logical propositions exposes one’s
life to dangerous strictures. In truth,
such a religion is about as useful as
a casket full of dead bones. That is
What Christ told the Pharisees. And
our observation has proved it. How
many folks go about and gush about
their belief as fundamental, yet
their lives need daily watching by
the police. A religion that needs de-
fense of vehemance and violence be—
longs to medieval burying grounds.
We would not do away with enthusi-
asm in religion, but this enthusiasm
must be brought to bear on the grind
of daily living. Many of us that are
standing around waiting to be
caught up in a certain "rapture"
would do well to heed Paul’s words
“to encourage the fainthearted, sup-
port the weak, be long-suffering to-
ward all." y

The Gospel judges both the spirit
and the act of murder. And "What
shall be the end of them that obey
not the gospel?" The Gospel is some-
thing not merely to be admired and
complimented. " It is to be obeyed.
It says "There is no condemnation to
them that are in Christ." Why? Be-
cause to be “in Christ" is to follow
and obey him. This will change the
texture of the heart so as to remove
envy, anger, and murder. May God
forgive us all!

OUR BOOK REVIEW

Today and Tomorrow.—By Henry Ford
in collaboration with Samuel Crowther.
This a. continuation of "My Life and
Wor ” and is a very interesting book
recently published in serial form in some
of the large daily newspapers of the
country. If you are an admirer of Henry
Ford you should have this book. It con—
tains 281 pages printed in large type,
and is cloth bound. ‘Doubleday Pape and
Company are the publishers and the re-
tail price ls $3.50.

It isn’t a good policy ever to' put on
paper anything that you aren’t willing
to back up later. And it is just as im-
portant not to say anything that you
would not want to retract upon second
thought. ‘ ‘

’ Labor having equipment often makes
it possible for one woman ‘to accomplish
the work of several.

ROADSIDE MARKET LETTERS

S we write this letters entered in our roadside

market contest are just beginning to come in

which is evidence that this is a good subject

to take up'at present. Every contest we have

put on so far has been a complete success. inter-

est running much higher in the latest than in

earlier ones, and we are expecting this to be the
largest of them all.

The subject of roadside marketing is of great
interest to every farm family living along a good
road. We say “farm family" because every
member as a rule takes part in the work, so they
are all interested. This method of marketing
brings in many an extra dollar that would other-
wise go into the pockets of some middleman.
Also it saves the work of hauling the produce
to market.

No‘ two people go about it the same way to
make a success of their venture, although one
may be just as successful as the other. That is
one of the reasons why we want our subscribers,
who operate markets, to write in their experi-
ences. You may give the other fellow some ideas,
and his may be new to you. , 7 _

Tell us all about it. For the best letter re-
ceived not later than October lst we will pay
$5.00; for the second best $3.00; and third best
$2.00. Also we will pay $1.00 for all other let-
ters on this subject that we use. Be sure to
send in a picture of your roadside market with
your letter, if possible. We will allow you 50
cents extra if we use the picture.

MICHIGAN MY MICHIGAN
EARS ago when flaming youth was in full
bloom we thought the best thing that ever
happened to us was a. ticket out of Michigan.
True we loved our old state—it had been our
homeland since we could remember. We had
spent our school days here, but had listened to
the stories of those who had been into the far
country and we too were anxious to cross the
old border line into the promised land of other
states. Pennsylvania, Kansas, Illinois and Iowa
were some of the states we later lived in over-
a period of years.
Outstanding in our memory was Iowa for four

‘ "of the happiest years of our life were spent there;

so during the past few weeks we overhauled the
old car, loaded it with pack and baggage and
decided to go back to God's country. Now we
are back in Michigan thankful that right here at
our very doorsteps is after all God’s country.
We only wish every farmer in Michigan could
take a trip into Iowa, famous for its corn, cattle
and hogs, then you would truly be glad you lived
in Michigan—and why? Because Iowa with her
wonderful corn and grain plays a long shot every
year with Mother Nature—if the weather is fav-
orable they find themselves sitting on top of the
world, but 'should their major crops go wrong
'there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth

while here in Michigan anyone of our diversified‘
, drops may go wrong and yet there is still enough
-: to pay the Butcher, the Baker and Candlestick

area-even the taxes somehow are always paid.

THE GAS TAX RETURNS GROW
ASO'LINE tax collections in Michigan during
July amounted to over a million dollars, we
are told. The exact figures are $1,151,682

 

collected and refunds were $65,653, leaving a.

balance of $1,086,029. This is the largest amount
collected at any time since the law went into
effect, the next highest being August "of last year
when the state netted $977,010.13. Collections
for July, 1925, netted the state $947,577.
Everyone is paying the tax and thinking noth-
ing about it. Now if we could raise it another
cent or so on a gallon and have permanent lic-
ense plates, eliminating the annual scramble, we
could take care of our highway expenses in a
way that would not be burdensome to anyone.
Pay as you use is a mighty good policy, and we
hope Michigan Will soon be following it to the

fullest extent in her highway financing program.-

 

Lo'ns OF FRIENDS
AVE you noticed how popular you are? Some
of your old friends come to your place and
even follow you around the fields to talk
with you. Why, there are some folks who used

to just. nod when you met them that are now ,
_ showing a most profound interest in you and your

family. They greet you with a hearty handshake,
almost pumping your arm off, with their facgg
just radiating a spirit of good fellowship. The
health of everyone from the wife down to the
dog is inquired about, and they are ready to shed
tears if any illness is reported. If you smoke
there is a cigar or'two, the finest brand you are
told. r

When you finally do get away from one of
these men you realize for'the first time what a
wonderful fellow he is after all. You always had
considered him stuck-up, but you guess you got
him wrong. Perhaps it was just asmuch your
fault as his. _

Oh yes, you almost forgot that card he handed
you when you were talking, and you search
your pockets until you finally locate it. “,Vote
for Joe Blah for dog catcher," you read. There,
you knew there was a catch some place all‘the
time, but the cigar was not so bad.

Yes, it is election time. s

TEE SEQUI-CENTENNIAL EXPOSI'I‘ION '.
PPARENTLY there are, quite a few of the
farmers of Michigan who are going to tho .
SesquiCe-ntennial International Exposition
at Philadelphia, as we have had a number of in—
quiries about the route. In fact we have had-
more letters, inquiring about this routepthan any
one trip. _

This great celebration of 150 years of Ameri-
can independence is said to be well worth going
a long dsitance to see, and we have talkedwi'th
many people who. have visited it. The cost is
said to be around $27,000,000. It opened June
1st and will close December 1st, so there is still
plenty of time. However, if you want to see the
live stock show you will have to belthere be—v
tween September 12th and 19th, as it lasts only
that week. Michigan is well represented among
the exhibitors by Corey Farms of New Haven.

' J' ‘ues E. Davidson of Ithaca, Jay B. Deutsch of

Big Bay, Albert Newman of Mariette, Owo‘sso
Sugar Company of Alicia, C. H. Prescott and Sons
of Tawas City, Rosewood Farms of Howell, Ben
W. Spencer of Quinnesec, and Woodcote Stock
Farms of Ionia, which indicates that it is a show
of-the highest class.

If you desire any information about the route
we will be glad to help you.

 

A COUPLE OF RECORDS
N this page in our July 31st issue we men-
tioned the fact that a bull calf had been ‘~
born on the farm of James Watchorn, near ‘
Fayette, Upper Peninsula, that weighed 126 '
pounds two and one-half days after birth. It -
was believed to be the largest calf ever dropped
by a cow in Michigan and we asked dur readers ;
if any of them ever heard of a calf that would f
beat this record, or even. approach it. Now we I '
have a lettér from J. E. Freel, from near Deck- '
erville, which reads: ,
‘In your July 17th issue I saw an account of ;
a calf that was very large for its age. I have 2
one ,that equals it. This calf -was born at 11 ;
o'clock Sunday morning, July 1_8th, and weighed 1 ‘
126 pounds when it was‘53 hours old, and 160 ‘
pounds when it was one week old. It is from Q
a Holstein cow and Durham sire. .I also have a 1
colt which weighed 1,405 pounds when 23 !
months old."
Here are two records for our readers to shoot
at. If you can approach either of them let us I
hear from you.

' According to Sarah Wiese, owner

on a small margin, and, as the con-
cerns she dealt with had not paying

obligations. Also, she said, one of
her salemen embezzled from $350 to
$400 of her money and then skipped.
She begged that all be considerate
and grant her time-so that she could
get back on her feet and pay up all

_ debts.

Within a week she received many
letters from farmers who needed
their/money badly so she had' her
attorney write all of them. He ad-
vised that she had sold all of her
fixtures and everything of value and
turned the money over to him to pay
out ‘to the folks who had shipped
merchandise to her and never receiv-
ed their pay. In each case that we

Many have complained about the
amount they received but there. is
nothing that can be done to make

A CHAIN THAT BROKE
I bought a ticket from a friend

 

. for 75 cents, then I sent that ticket

in, with $2.25 and got three tickets

. which I was to sell at 76 cents each.

For this I was'to get three pairs of
good stockings. The company got
the $2.25 ’ and the other party the
75 cents, but now I can't sell the
I wrote the company and
cannot get any answer, so apparently
I’m out .the $3.00. I wish you
would publish their name if you can
not collect this so that others will

not get stung as I did. It is the

40 FLORIDA BEAUTY RIEN IN-j
DIOI‘ED ON MAIL FRAUD CIIARG

/

'MORE than 40 oflcials and em-
ployee of the Florida Cities
Finance Co. and the Stanley Realty
& Development Co. were out on Fri~
day following their indictment
Thursday on charges of using the
mail to defraud in connection with

real estate. .

The Florida Cities Finance Co.,

Several counts were set forth in
the indictments charging use of the

MORE ABOUT PICTURE AGENTS
INCE We published our last article
on the enlarged picture agent
and his game we have. received
several letters of which the follow-
ing are fair samples:
“I have been reading in your
paper where other women have had
trouble with picture agents, but not.
until I had been bitten myself by
Of course, I was the luckiest
person that the agent had ever met;

viding I had two others enlarged,

on the receipt he gave me so I am
unable to write the company cancell-
ing the order. Seems like there
ought to be a law. forbidding such
people going around and telling such
awful lies.”
“I just read your article in the
paper about picture agents. Just
today I signed a paper to pay $16
for two pictures. This sounds like
a fake. Would it be possible for
you to get in touch with them and
cancel the order? No address is
given on the order."
With no names or addresses it
was impossible for us to write the
campanies for our subscribers. If
the agents misrepresented to them
the only thing they can do is refuse
to accept the pictures or pay for
them.

THEY FAIL TO REPLY

OT long ago one, of our subscrib—

ers who was interested in doing

home work to earn some ‘pin
money sent us advertisements of sev—
eral companies and wanted to know
what we thought of “them. Among
them were the Fischer Card Co., of
New York City, Weather and Co. of
Chicago, The Society Press of Kan-
sas City, King Card Co. of New York
City, Madison Service of Chicago,
Redfleld'Manufacturing Co. of New
York City, and Elm Service of Chi-
cago. Their schemes were address-
ing cards and envelopes, home sew—
ing and guilding cards. We were all
well acquainted with the schemes
but knew nothing about any of 'these
companies so we wrote to them ask-
ing that they tell us about them—

FRESH AND CANNED FRUIT

'1‘ this time of the year most

people prefer fresh fruit and

vegetables so it is well to have
the family eat an abundance of them
while/they are in season. It is not
good economy to cut down on the
amount of fresh‘food used in order
to have a supply to can. Canning
is a good and economical way to
preserve products for future con-
sumption but one needs to be caut-
ious at each step in the process so
there will not be a waste of time or
products. Too much emphasis can
not be placed upon the selection of
products Which are in the best of
condition for unless tender, carefully
selected products go into the can it
will be impossible to have the best
of canned food to serve the family.

A FALL FASHION HINT
HE new garments for fall and
winter wear are being shown in
a charming shade of red, which
is a deep win‘e color, called Gypsy;
Neptune, or a bright green is also
very popular, then brown and coral.
If the materials which you make up
this fall are of the new shades it
gives them an added style.
Black isstill very good, and all of
these colors are made up with vests
or yokes of white.

' CONSTIPATION
ONSULT a physician and find out
if there is a physical defect caus-
ing constipation. The n s u a 1
causes are (1) wrong food habits
(2) lack of exercise.

Prevent or cure constipation. The
fellowing things help: -

1. Eat laxative foods. Coarse
bread and cereals, vegetables and
fruits are good. Eat more raw vege-
tables and fruits. Leafy vegetables
and fruit salads are good. Use ’but-
termilk instead of sweet milk. Avoid
rich desserts, candy, pastries. Eat
meat sparingly.

2. Drink water. Drink six to
eight glasses of water every day—
one or two glasses before breakfast
and one before going to bed.

3. Exercise. Take plenty of ex-
ercise daily out of doors. ."Setting-
up” exercises are alright but always
walk out of doors every day.

4. Practice right habits regularly.
Leave cathartics and laxative drugs
to the doctor. Go to the toilet the
same time every day. Have a bowel
movement every day. Eat. meals
slowly at regular hours. Chew thor-
oughly. Keep cheerful and happy.

fall or spring. Either one may be rooted,

but requires equipment, which the err

dinary amateur does not usually posses.

The tulips which are used for bedding.

are the early varieties of cottage garden
tulips or Darwins. The latter“ are much

more satisfactory because of their color-'
ing and longer keeping qualities. After-
they are planted in the fall a. mulch of
straw or manure over the beds is all the

care that is required. This mulch need
not be over four inches thick—Alex
Laurie, Charge of Floriculture, M. S. 0.

How To Clean Strainer.-—When the
sieve of my milk strainer gets filled up
so no milk can go through I take the
strainer and put it in another pan'and
then take a can of lye and sprinkle some
pulverized lye on. Then I pour some
boiling water through the strainer and in
no time the dirt in the sieve will let
loose and if you scrub a little with a
brush, then wash with soap and water
and rine, it takes but a little time and
you will be surprised for the strainer
will work like a new one—Mrs. A. D.,
Kalamazoo County.

 

Killing Lice and Potting Milieu—Will

you please tell me what will kill lice on
plants and when to pot Easter lilies? My
lilies don’t do very well. Could you
please help me?—-E. R.. McGregor, Mich.

—--Plant lice is readily controlled by spray-
ing with nicotine sulphate, which may be
bought at a seed store in the form of
Black Leaf 40. The-Wirection's for use
are given on the package. It is important
to have the spray come in contact with
the insects.

Easter Lilies should be potted in 00-1

tober, placed in a cool dark storage until

the roots have a. chance to form, and,

then brought to gradual light and heat.
It usually requires 14 weeks for the lilies
to come into bloom from the time that
they are brought to the lights—Alex
Laurie, Charge of Floriculture, M. B. C.

Where Public Vehicles Are Concerned.
-—A man always permits a woman to pre-
cede him when entering a. conveyance.
public or private. He leaves it, if possible,
before her. ready to help her alight.
Whether it be a. trolley-car or a train,
his hand should support her elbow when
she enters of- leaves. Otherwise the or-
dinary dictates of courtesy applying to
any roomful of well-bred ‘strangers are
followed in public conveyances. Even in
cities where a. “subway rush" at certain
hours, and consequent "canning" rather

than filling the ceaches is a' feature of "

existence, passive if not active courtesy
is always possible.

Accessibility to markets is determined by the time it takes to

Farmers in the regions served by the New York Central Lines,
although many are far removed from the great city markets,
have the advantage of fast and dependable service to the most
thickly populated region in the United States.

EAR girls and boys: Well, we
have’ awarded the prizes in our
recent “Read and Win” contest,

and now be prepared for a big sur-
prise. A boy won first prize! What
do you think of that? “ As near as
I can remember this is the first con—
test ever held that a boy captured
first prime, and. having been a boy

over it. In recent contests boys have
been falling down badly but this last
one found them coming back strong.
Fourth prize also went to a boy.

The winners of first, second and
third prizes are: Raymond Vernon
Holben, age 11, Kent City; Alice
Scholton, age 14, Climax; Frances
Fouts, Freeland, Mich. These re-
ceived cameras and I hope they will
send in some of the pictures they
take so that we can publish them. ’

The 'kodak books went to Charles
Little, of Prescott, Vivian Lietzke,
of DeWitt, and Eva. Kotzian, of Al-
lenton, Mich, winners of fourth,
fifth and sixth prizes. I have learn-
ed that Eva has a kodak So this book
should be of particular use to her,
and if the others have no cameras
at present they can use the books
for pictures or snapshots given to
them by their friends.

How did you like the pictures of
some of the boys and girls on our
page in the last issue? Send in your
pictures is you want to see more of
them, and I will print them.

I thought some of starting an-
other contest in this issue, but most
of you are just getting back to school
and the work is taking up most of
your time so I guess we will wait
a little bit. In the meantime, write
in and tell me about your school

 

work, if you get any time. Hope
lyou all like school this year.—

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I join your
merry circle? I wrote before but have
not seen it in print. I hope Mr. Waste
Basket is asleep when my letter arrives
for I would,like to see it in print. I
will now describe myself. I have brown
hair and have it bobbed and blue eyes.
I am’twelve years old. We have thirteen
children in our family. My oldest sister
is twenty years old and my youngest
sister is, seven weeks old. We live on a.
farm of fifty-three acres. We have all
kinds of pets. We have nineteen pigs,
one dog, two cats, three kittens, nine
cows, twelve ducks, seven turkeys, and a
hundred chicks. I haven’t much time to
play. We have, lots of work to do at
home. Please may I have one~of your
buttons. Your niece.—Dorotha Bekker-
ings, Route 2, Bryon Center, Mich.

-——Yes, you may have a button, but, as
I have told others on this page, you
must win it, either through a contest
or by sending in a good story for our
page.

Dear Uncle Ned:—‘—It surely was a sur-
prise when I received the check for $2.00
as a reward for winning second place in
the contest. Words won't half express
my gratitude and “thank you" sincerely
for the check.

inches an. I weigh sevmtywoix pounds.
I have my hair out like a boy. fly
six brothers call me a boy, but it. is nice
and cool 'for the summer. For pets I
have two cats and. No.60“. ’fheir names
are Rates and Rastus, Huddle and Ted-
die. We have two horses,,two cows, one
calf. one am and about one hundred
chickens. I read Doris Clarke's letter
in the M. B. F. and I thought her riddles

Hy birthday was June on. I was
1;? years old. I wonder if I have I.

I hope Mr. Waste Paper Basket is out
on some important business when my lot-
ter reaches your office. I hope some of
the cousins will write to me. I have a
riddle. Now what comes first, the chicken
or the egg? If anyone knows the answer
please write to me.‘ I will close hoping
to see my letter in print. From your
want-to-be niecc.-—Clothllda M. Jacobs,

——Your motto is “If you don‘t succeed at'

and it is a .very good one. Come again.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am trying to get
a. pin. We have taken the H. B. F. o!

time we are taking it for five years. Now

hair, brown eyes. I passed out of the
eighth grade into the ninth.

two horses, two cows and a lot of chick-
ens. I want to get a white rat. but
my father will not let me so I will have
to forget it.

Tell the boys and girls to write and I
will tell them about my cousin in Mon.
mum—Stephen A. Bilbey, Route 2, Mil-
ford, Michigan. I {
-—Why not~~ tell all of us about your
cousin in Montana and the county where
he lives. You will find all of us inter-
ested. Stephen. »

Dear Uncle ch:—I received the but-
ton and check you sent me and thank
yen a thousand times for it. I: never
thought that I could earn anything ‘in
a contest but I will always keep your

I got hit by a car while crossing the
street and was in the hospital six weeks.»-
I had my leg mashed and that Was .
worse than a break. I started to school
about three weeks before it let out and
I don‘t know whether I passed or not.
We had our school picnic in the Alma

must close as my letter is getting long.
Hoping to see my letter in print. Your
niece.——-Doris Wood, R1, Ithaca, Mich.

A Game to Play

 

 

GUESSING STORIIB

HE player chosen to commence
the game holds some iobject in
his hand which is unseen by the
other players. He then gives a de—
scription ofrthe object, from which
the others have to guess what it is.
Needless to say, the description
should be as puzzling as possible, at
Eh? same time being absolutely truth-

u . _, . .

For instance, the player may say: ~

I am not largenor very beautiful;
but I have a bright color, and Pam
so useful that men could not do
without. me. I go with them  7

their journeys, and accompany  1'] '

i  Your Cows  Corn Gluten Feed

 Grass at its best furnishes only about half as
much digestible feed as the cow needs.
pastures are dry they furnish little more than ma-
terial for the cow’s cud.

: When pastures fail, your valuable cows may
also fail. It is then necessary to feed them at a
lms until they freshen again.

Preventing failure prevents loss. Rations bal-
anced with Corn Gluten Feed prevent failure.

WORLD’S CHAMPION GUERNSEY
ON, Tm AGAIN
HARLES H. KNIGHT, who ' is
now located at Big Bay, Michi-
gan, has piloted his famous,
Guernsey cow, Norman’s Missaukee
Red Rose 89724 to two world's
championships of the Guernsey
breed. That he behaves the cow has
another good record in her is indi-
cated by the fact that he has recent-
ly started her on test again
As a junior two year old Red Rose
produced 760.7 pounds of butter fat,
carrying a calf for 265 days of the
year's record. In her following lac-
tation period, as a senior three year
old, she produced 900.7 pounds of
butter fat. She is still the highest
producing Guernsey cow in both of
these classes, GG and C.

SELECT SWINE BREED ON
PERSONAL LIKES
HREE points should be taken in—
to consideration by farmers who
have to choose a breed of hogs
to raise, or who desire to change
breeds. .

The first is personal preference,
for if a farmer has a breed which
he likes he Will take better care of
them and will feel better satisfied.
, The second factor is community

erence. The most popular breed

a community usually has been
selected because of its adaptability
to the locality or suitability to' the
market needs. Then too, a uniform
Product in a locality usually makes

marketing easier and frequently,

brings higher ’prioes. . x. . ,

G rub into the spots where the

COLLAR BOIL

I have a horse six ‘years old and
he has a collar boil ever since last
summer. I have been putting on
live or six blisters but it doesn’t seem
to help and I would like your best
advice—E. S. W., Sturgis, Mich.

HERE is nothing to be done for
T real collar boils but to have
them removed by a veterinar-
ian; this is a much harder operation
to perform than it would seem as
these often heal up leaving wrinkles
in the skin which makes new sores
when the horse is worked. Sorry,
but there is nothing that I can tell
you that will help. A ..

MILK IS STRINGY

We have a cow that freshened in
March. She gives from thirty—five to
forty pounds of milk a day but the
last few days after her milk sets
over night and we skim it, it is
stringy. She is fed ground oats and
corn and bran. She runs in a clover
and fine grass pasture. Her milk
gives a monthly average test of 3.5.
Could you please give us the cause
and remedy for it?—B. y. D., Middle-
ville, Michigan.

T is quite possible that the cooling
I of your milk may have something
to do with its appearance; you
are evidently not using a separator
therefore water cooling may affect
it during the alternately hot and cool
days. The only thing I could think
of might be a slight inflammation of
one of the quarters of this cow. You
might give her a tablespoonful of
fowlers solution of arsenic on the
feed night and morning for three
or four weeks. Dissolve a teaspoon-
ful of chlorinated lime in a quart
of warm water and wash off the
teats before milking.

HE Superior Poultry Farm, of
Zeeland, Mich., has been select-

seed been broadcasted and harrowed
in I am sure the stand would have
been a failure. Why was this? I
believe if there is an abundance of
moisture, the broadcast seed will be
quite sure to start, but if moisture
is lacking and one harrows in broad~
cast seed, very little of it gets a
proper depth to find moisture, and no
doubt a large per cent is on top,.or
not covered more than one—fourth
inch. But on a field well fitted, and
preferably rolled just before drilling,
one can get the seed to proper depth.
If there is moisture in plenty, one
inch is deep enough, but if this does
not get the seed into moist earth,
an inch and a half will be all right.
We would hesitate to sow deeper
than this.
lie III II
A Fire Truck

In many places throughout the
state, farmers are cooperating with
their nearby towns and buying a
fire truck. This seems a move in the
right direction. Such a move is now
on, in our community. The town
itself pays for one third of the truck,
houses it and keeps it in repair, also
furnishes the trained force to operate
it. The farmers pay the other two-
thirds. In our case this will be
about twenty—five dollars each. With
our good roads, it is quite practical
to go as far as five miles. The out-
fit to be purchased here, is not a
cheap affair, but one like places three
times as large are buying. Many
times when one farm building burns,
all the others_ are consumed. Pos-
sibly a truck might not save the
first building, but be the means of
saving the others. All in all the
proposition seems feasible, and our
twenty-five was given freely—and
here’s hoping we never have occasion
to get it back! One who is not
familiar with the possibilities of the
chemical trucks may question their
effectiveness, but their fire-fighting
ability is astonishing when well di-
rected. They have two large tanks
so while one is being used the other
is refilled. *

Egg?

An egg is not only an article of food, it is also a
product out of which you make or lose money.

Scientists can take an egg apart and. tell exactly
what it is made of. They can also tell- you what
foodstuffs contain the same elements.

Mix those foodstuffs carefully in the proportions
that the scientist recommends and you have the
perfect feed—theoretically. Actually, it may not
work that way at all.

Maybe the hen won’t eat it. Maybe if she does
eat it, she’ll get sick. Maybe it will make her lay
too much for a short time—“burn” her up.

So, after all, the only sure way to prove the value
'of any feed is to try it on the hens.

We’ve done that with Larro. Tried it on thou-
sands of our l‘own hens. Watched them carefully
and kept accurate records. It does the business.

Many poultry raisers—big and little—have tried
it and report results equally as good as ours.

Your hens will like Larro Egg Mash. It will keep
them healthy. It will make them lay more through-
out their period of usefulness, than any Other feed
we know of. It will make bigger egg profits for you.

v ural department,

a” recent official report of Sec-t
’ rotary of Commerce Hoover in
 the Commerce Year Book for

 £925 makes pleasant reading. It
fails thatyear as the best on record.

The year was notable as for its lack
. Average wages
per hour have been at least twice
as large as before the war, an in-
crease much more marked than the

, cost of living, and “the workingman

is consequently enjoying the high-
est wages in our history.” IThe re-
port says agriculture is in better con-
dition than it has been for several
years, although the farmers have
not yet recovered‘ from the great
slump in prices in 1920 and 1921.
Farmers reading the report can
hardly fail to regret that their 13.-
bor' is so poorly “enumerated than
that of union labor in the cities,
where carpenters, painters, plumbers
are paid as high as $1.75 per hour.
0! course, farmers receive no such
pay for their labor, and for
reason great numbers of farm work-
have moved to the cities, resulting
in many owners of farm curtailing
the acreage and depending mostly
on, their personal work. Michigan
farmers as a class are continuing to
diversify their crops, depending
largely. on raising wheat, beans,
fruit and dairying. Small farms well
tilled and manured are the order of
the day, and the up-to—date farmer
aims to grow so. far as possible the
food consumed by the family.~ The
high—grade dairy cows! are valdable
assets, and more hens are kept than
chr in the past.

Low Prices for Farm Products

The lowest level reach-3d in farm
products prices in nearly two years
was touched August 15, according
to the monthly index of the agricult—
just issued. The
general levels as at the month’s half—
way point declined to 132 per cent of
the pro-war level from 139 in June
and 135 in May. The figure is 13
per cent lower than that for the
same date last-year.

Declines in the meat animal, food
and vegetable groups contributed to
the subsidence of price levels. T up
were small gains in cottons nd
grains. From July 15 to August 15
the farm price of corn advanced 11
per cent and the value of hogs drop-
ped 9 points. The farm prices of rye
went up 7 per cent in the same per-
iod and potatoes declined nearly 20
per cent.

Only five of the more important
farm products are 159 per cent of
the prices received by farmers dur-
ing the pre—war period of 1909 to
1914. The prices of these five pro-
ducts expressed in percentages of
their ‘pre—war averages are: Hogs,
161; wool, 179; lambs, 188; chick-
ens, 194, and potatoes, 202. The
other extremes are: Horses. 56 per
cent; barley, 89; oats, 95; rye, 120;
beef cattle, 121; eggs, 123, and com,
124 per cent of the pro—war average.

With several milion acres of farm
land in an unproductive state, the
United States forest service, in coop—
individual states, is
planting trees on these barren areas
at a rate of 12,000 to 15,000 acres
annually, it has been announced by
the department of agriculture.

Hogs Sell Far Apart

Seldom in the past have hogs sold
so wide apart as recently, late sales
being at an. extreme range of $8.75
to $14.60,, these prices comparing
with $10.10 to $13.40 a year ago
and $7.30 to $9.75 three years ago.
Owners are making their hogs far
heavier than in the past years, and
in recent weeks the Chicago receipts
averaged 277 pounds, which was
the heaviest in over 30 years
among the heaviest on record. A
year ago the average weight was

ket toppers, the best selling at a

date the receipts in seven western
packing points amounted to only
12,291,000 hogs, comparing with
17,754 a year ago and 21,494,000
two years ago.

‘ The Provision Market

A review of the live stock and
meat [situation during the month
just closed, issued by the Institute

and“

consumption of picnics ordinarily is

largest, the present market situation
should be. of timely interest to con-
sumers.

“The export trade in park pro-
ducts was of fair dimensions for this
season of the year. England bought
hams _"lather freely; also, some
quantities of various English cuts.
On; the continent there was some
buying of short clear backs and fat
backs, with indications, in the opin-
ion of' some observers, that» further
supplies will be needed. [The lard
trade was of fair proportions for
this period of the year.

Good Banana for Cattle

There is an excellent demand for
cattle in western markets, and the
Chicago trade is especially large at
good prices, values being 50 to 75
cents higher than a month ago.
Steers sell a $7.75 to $11, largely
at $9 to $10.85, yearlings being the
highest, although some prime heavy
steers have sold ‘at $10.90. Prime
yearling heifers sell at $10.75, and
stockers go at $6.45 to $8., while
stock and feeder heifers and cows
bring $4.50 to $6.35. A year ago
beef steers sold at $6 to $13.10.

The world’s wheat crop outlook. is ‘ 7

not better than it wears year-- ago,
thus suggesting a fairly high gen-
eral price level, but the prospect for
high winter wheat prices is not so
good thisyear beam prices are
likely to he in linewith. foreign mar-
kets. The outlook for next year is

for possibly more winter "wheat be- 1

cause farmers are reported planting
one-seventh more land to this crop.
There is particular reason to expect
trouble in the general market on this
account now or next season, but
fancy prices are not in sight—rather
a continuance of something like pres-
ent conditions.
Grains

Grain prices have weakened a lit-
tle around the first of the month be-
cause of fairly good Crop news es-
pecially regarding Canadian wheat
and western corn. Demand was light
and the feeding grains sold slightly
lower along with the decline in
wheat.

Feed shared in the present poor
demand for the feeding grains
around September}. Dairymen use
less concentrated feed nowthat the
rains have treshened the pastures.
Even the export demand has been
slack. Declines were chiefly in wheat,
feeds and linseed. ' ’ ’

Hay

Hay prices are holding. better.
Good grades of timothy sold higher
in some markets.
meen reflected in much low quality
and heated stock, which sells hard.
New hay brings 91-32 per ton less
than old stock of the same grade,

Dairymen are pleased with the re-
cent combination of a fresh growth
of grass, cooler weather and slightly
higher prices for butter and cheese,
with good demand. Of course, the
quantity issomewhat below that of
the season of greatest output, but
there is enough butter for the tie--
mand and a little, but not too much,
to spare for storage.

The egg. situation groWs better

every week now, from the sellers' .

point of View. Receipts continue to
lessen, and prices for strictly fresh
stock go up easily. There was a
rise of 2 and 3 cents in best grades
about the first of the month. Some
cold storage stock is being taken out
and sold, which is a good point for
the longer range outlook.

, Poultry
Dressed poultry is in liberal sup-
ply and hard to sell except at prices
a shade lower. Live poultry is af~
fected at times by special feast day
demand and prices have held better,
than the general poultry market.
Potatoes

Potato market seems to he 'waits
ing for later reports mm the main
crop digging operations. The north—
ern crop was a week or two later
this season but seems to be turning
out better in some sections than ex-
pected a month ago. Production
being larger than in 1925, the price
may be assumed likely to run some
what lower, but the situation ap»
pears fairly strong as compared with
the average season. ' -
