'l farm incoines may be increased through the use of profitable cows, and how farm homes may be mod— ernizcd by the purchase of modern appliances and. conveniences made possible from the‘ increased income. ’ More profit ,with less labor is the slogan. For this reason, a Farm Wamen’s Division has been established, which will be in charge of Mrs. Edith M. Wagar, Carleton, Mich. The divi- sion is fostered by the American Farm Bureau Federation. Mrs. Wag‘ar is well known for her work in Michigan. The average farm home, says Mrs. Wager, can and should have as many conveniences as the average town or city home. The profitable dairy cow is the means through which the finer things of life may be obtained. The increased income from superior cows, such as will be at the show, will make possible light and water system on every farm, washing ma- chines, modern utensils, refrigera- tion, radios, and up-to-date cooking devices. The acquisition of these things will promote a better home life, and result in greater happiness on American farms. Home Appliance Show In connection with the Women’s Division is the. Home Appliance Show. It will be in charge of train— ed women who »wlll demonstrate their operation to farm women. Dem- Onstrations and lectures given in the Women’s Division will show how these appliances may be had with profitable producing ,cows. Health Food Show Dr. E. V.

Exhibit Besides the educatlonal- exhibits and displays from many states the United States Department of Agri- culture will have. a special exhibit in the agricultural building. The Department’s exhibit this year will not contain the usual chart and picture type of exhibit, but instead, many real and life‘slzed modelswill be used. ' Two general types of exhibits will be displayed. One shows the recent discoveries of investigations] work done by the Department and is of special interest to breeders and tech"r nice] people. The other is mere practical in nature. The effect of feeding well cured and poorly cured alfalfa hay is brought out by a life—sized model of a cow showing organs and skeleton. By means of machinery the fact is shown that when well cured legume hay is fed the calcium in the milk and for reproduction comes from the feed, but when poorly cured hay is fed the calcium is taken from the bones. The problem of cow production is brought out by a comparison of two herds in the same cow-testing as- sociation, the income from one herd being $87 per cow, and $25 from the other. The exhibit shows that the Babcock test and milk scales pro- vide a sure trap for the low pro- ducer. A part of the exhibit shows that about one—half of the pure bred dairy bulls are slaughtered every year, many of them before their daughters have made records. One scenic display pictures the waste of skimmilk each year. Ther are two exhibits on market milk. One shows how to sterilize utensils, and the other deals with milk plant management. Other exhibits will show the world supply and demand for dairy products, the sources of dairy supplies for principal markets, the story of the market news service. and how standardization is increas- ing dairymen’s profits. The Department is working on the theory that it should produce an ex- hibit from which each visitor will obtain at least one suggestion that will help him to make money. ‘ National Dairy Week The week of September 13 to 18 was observed as National Dairy Show Week in every county of Mich- igan. It was a successful, concerted effort to put the National Dairy Ex- position before the public. As a re- sult, delegations have been organiz- ed in every county of the state to at-' tend the Exposition. E. G.

The huge, new ilding, just across the street from Coliseum, and said to be the est 'in the world devoted ex— ‘sively to agriculture, was the first ng that. caused the visitor this to get that impression. Then trip through the building proved final argument. , This building, which was con- ucted by the state’s own building artment in 60 days, has a floor ce of 240 feet by 160 feet, and it 8 filled with exhibits having to _ with Michigan agriculture. The ate Department of Agriculture was re with a most extensive exhibit the work'being done by them. 9 Michigan State College also had isplay on what they are doing in ,,mal husbandry, marketing ento- ology, dairy husbandry, horticult— e. poultry and home economics. en the farm organizations were presented by the Grange, Farm Bu- and Gleaners. The Michigan p Improvement Association had fine display, as did also the De- it Market Growers’ Association. arge amount of space was given if er to the Upper Peninsula exhibit, 'f th 3. banner across the top of it ",oclaiming to the visitor that the t of Michigan located across the ,_aits was “God’s Country”. This ibit, covering mining, recreation, :dustry and agriculture, opened the s of many to the great opportuni— ,in that part of our state. The In press ,of Michigan also was rep- ented. All of these were along four walls, while in the center the horticultural and farm crops " limits, and a large floral display, h an Orchestra entertained with ular music in the center of the 31 exhibit. ‘ yflnFarmers’ Day, Thursday, Sept- bier 9th, a committee headed by Whitney Watkins, State Commis- ner of Agriculture, dedicated the lding to Michigan agriculture. " orig the -peakers were Pres. Ken— .L. Butterfield of M. S. C., Mrs. a Stockman of the State Grange, 'Mr. I. A. Butterfield, father of s.

Because of the ther being» rainy only about five usand people ventured out. abor Day has always been con— ered Detroit’s day because fact— ERE was a very good display ' “of agricultural products at the State Fair this year, under the vision of Prof. H.

This year the attendance amounted to around 100,000 according to reports, which sets a newyrecord, and the surprising part of it was the large number of farmers there. Thursday was official Farmers’ Day but many declared there were as many on the grounds Monday as there were 'Thursday. Perhaps this was due mostly to the fact that the rains on ‘Sunday held up farm work. ‘ Tuesday was Children’s Day, all children being admitted free, and Wednesday was Fraternal Day. Crowds were small on both of these days. The crowd was small Friday, Detroit Day, also, but Saturday, Automobile ‘Day, the gate receipts were again large as the weather was perfect for the first time during the entire week. Many Entries Entries in all lines of live stock passed previous high records by con- siderable. There were approximate- ly 1,100 sheep and 675 dairy cattle, while there were so many horses that after filling every stall in the horse barn it was necessary to fix a place in one end of the Coliseum to house the rest. The beef cattle barn was also full to overflowing, and there were so many poultry exhibits that the officials in charge had to put up a tent for part of them. Rabbits and pigeons were there also, while the swine exhibit was the best ever. The Department of Conservation exhibit in the poultry building at— tracted widespread attention and there was always a crowd in that end of the building. Leading va- rieties of fish in Michigan waters were a part of the exhibit of this department. The Better Baby Show was held in the women’s building, formerly the administration building, and during the week two 100 per cent perfect babies were found by the doctors Fancy work was also on display in’ this building. In years past the Boys’ and Girls’ Club members did not receive very much attention but this year they’ had the building formerly occupied by the women and the second story was given over to living quarters for the members, with exhibits on the first floor. All kinds of' machinery to make the house work less of a drudgery, musical instruments, wearing appar— el, furnaces and plumbing fixtures took up most of the space in three huge buildings. One exhibit which got a large amount of attention was put on by Los Angeles county, Cali-' fornia. It showed the different lines of agriculture and horticulture farmers engage in, in that county. Automobile Exhibits Three prominent automobile {nan- ufacturing companies had displays at the Fair and two of them had their own bands too furnish enter- tainment for the visitors. The Ford display of wagons, bug- gies, bicycles and automobiles, show- ing transportation methods from the early days through’ the different changes up to date, was very inter- esting. Also the two airplanes, one a giant, three—motor monoplane and the other the recently announced air-fiivver,—both built by the Ford Company interested the large crowd ever present at the Ford ex— hibit. A wood~burning locomotive built in 1860 was part of the display. Farm machinery occupied: much more space this year than during the past two or three years, and among the display Were two recently perfected machines to get Mr. Corn Borer. One was a corn binder that out the stalks close to the ground and the other was a stubble pulver- izer. For entertainment there was the midway which appeared to be of a high class. There seemed to be no .questionable shows, all of them be- HOW IS THIS FOR A STAND OF BEANS? “A view of my fifteen-acre field of Red Kidney beans in 1925.” writes Paul R.

Games of all kinds were plent— iful, and all of them apparently con- ducted in a‘ clean way. Good horse races played, an im- portant part in the entertainment feature of the State Fair this year,. and beginning Monday some of the best horses in this country perform~ ed daily except Thursday and Satur- day, before the grandstand. It, was intended to have horse races Thurs— day but rains left the track in such muddy condition that they were call- ed ofi. Saturday was given. over-to automobile races; a 100-mile race and three races of five miles each with the best drivers of the United ' States entered. Between races the crowds were entertained by high class vaudeville acts staged in front of the grand— stand. The acts were ‘repeated in the evening and followed by fireworks. Live stock judging took place\in the Coliseum as did alsovthe milk- ing contests. Mathilda Rinke, of Warren, Ma~ comb county, won the girls’ milking contest, retaining the championship which has been in the Rinke family for the last three or four years. In the final contest to find the best milkers, boys .or girls, Miss Rinke lost out. Hugh Austin, 20 years old, of Saline, who came to the Fair with some of his father’s cattle and some of his own sheep to exhibit, carried off the, Grand Milking Cham- pionship by producing 17.5 pounds of milk in 4 minutes and 50 seconds, , which is a new record. Harold 'Mc- Grath of Cass City won second, Curt- in Smith of Adrian was third, and Clara Lockwood of Reading fourth, Miss Lockwood is only 13 years old. Monday to Friday, inclusive, a horse show was put on in the Colise- um in the evening. A cat show was also staged in this building during the 'week. Wins Approval .Even though the weather was. un- favorable most of the time paid ad— missions totaled over 150,000 for the seven days, compared with near- ly 125,000 for ten days last year. We spent consulerable time going about the grounds and in the various buildings and wherever we went we found the people we talked with well pleased with the State Fair this year. The fear was expressed by many at the time it was announced that agriculture was to play a big part in future fairs that the city people would not attend, but this Fair proved their fears groundless. Not only were the city people there but farm folks turned out in greater numbers. ’ Farm leaders, actively connected with the Fair for .the first time in many years, expressed themselves as very hopeful of the future of the Michigan State Fair.

SELLING TREES AND PLANTS M, If I grow forest trees» and shade :1 trees, strawberries and raspberries I plants on my farm to sell do I have ' to have a license? If so, what are the charges? Do they have to be inspected? If so, what charges?— F. S. A., Farmington, Michigan. HE Orchard and Nursery Law has several exemption, one of them being if a farmer wishes to sell a few shade trees from his woodlot, he need not comply with the law. In this connection will say that we have ruled that hardwood trees are shade trees. Evergreens are ornamentals and are not cover- ed by the provisions of this exemp- tion. We have also ruled that this applies to a farmer who sells a few trees to his neighbor or to a person in town, but if he evidently makes a business of selling to a dealer or a nurseryman, who in turn sells to the consumer, he must meet the re- quirements of the law. If a Michi— gan farmer grows strawberries and wishes to sell a few surplus plants to his neighbor, he may do so with- out inspection. Raspberry growers of Michigan who offer plants for sale must com- quire ’that all raspberries offered for sale or shipment in Michigan must have two inspections between J une 16th and September 15th. To deal in nursery stocks and small fruit plants, one must take out a license yearly, the fee being $6.00, and file with the Department of Ag- riculture a bond for $1,000, which can be readily executed by taking two Michigan property owners be- fore a notary public as sureties. In connection wth nursery stocks the minimum fee is $2.00 and high- er for inspection, depending on the acreage. The fee for strawberry in- spection alone where plants are of- fered to nursery-men is usually about $1.00 or occasionally higher. In connection with the double inspec- tion of raspberries, the minimum fee is $1.00, and the scale runs up de- pending on the acreage.——-E. C.

SWEET OIDVER IN WHEAT Please tell me how to sow sweet clover in wheat in the spring to get a good crop. Should it be sown like common clever, or do you drag the ground enough to cover the seedT—D. H. Woodland, Mich. HERE are two general methods of seeding sweet clover in the spring on fall sown wheat. The first method is to sow during the winter or early spring, when the ground is freezing or thawing, al- lowing the sweet clover seed to be covered by the freezing or thawing process. This method is usually successful when conditions are quite favorable for sweet clover. On very sandy soil or soils quite de~ ficient in organic matter, the freez~ ing and thawing process quite fre- quently does not cover the seed. The other method and the one which has been found more depend— able is that Of soiwng the seed broadcast and covering with a spike tooth barrow. In case grass and clover seed drill is available, it may be used quite successfully.-———C. R. 'Megee, Associate Professor of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

I have rais- ed them in my test plats here at the college for two years new and find they yield about the same as do the red kidney, in some instances a little more to the acre. I would imagine that about 50 to 60 pounds to the acre would be about the right amount of seed to sow. They mature in about the same amount of time as do the kid- ney beans, possibly taking just a little longer.—I-I. R. Pettigrove, As— sistant Professor of Farm crops, Michigan State College. GROWING BEANS ON BEE'T FIELD Please tell me if a good beet crop turned under will produce a good crop of red beans. Our beets froze in so I though I would turn them under and plant to red beans.— Reader. GOOD crop of beets turned un- der should add a great amount of humus to your soil and thus give it a greater "water holding ca— pacity, with the nitrogen in the beets becoming readily available. The one suggestion which might be made is to prepare your seed. bed early so as to work it down thoroly, using the diks, spring tooth barrow and cultipacker, especially the culti- ‘packer to get a good firm seed bed. With the crop of beets turned un- der it probably would be advisable to use 200 to 250 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre to assure you that your beans "will ripen uni- formly and at about the proper time in the fall.

You should however, replace the original number of stock ,the landlord fur- nished at the outset at the termin- ation of lease. It should-be up to the landlord to replace any of his original number during the period of the lease. If he sells one of the original animals he furnished, the proceeds are his, but he should re- place /the animal at once. , The tenant, no doubt, has a claim against the landlord for feeding over a portion of this period the heifer in question, for he has lost such income as a share in the calf and milk products.

The oats were set out, and the next day ar- rived on sched- ule time, but the thresherman did u o t ! N 9 , h e c h a n g e d his mind, as thresh- ers are wont to do, and went east from our c o r n e r , and t h r e s h e d for everybody along the line, and was to clean up the jobs on our road on thereturn cir- cuit. But, alas, the circuit is not completed yet! This was two weeks ago, and according to a quite accur- ate prediction, it will be‘ another week before he gets here. He has been at one place now, for a week. Engine trouble and rain are not con— ducive to fast threshing. Our oats, however, were in fair condition to stack “the next day”, and that is where they went. Did the thresher disappoint us? No, not in the least. When I was young in the farming game, it did disappoint me when the threshers failed to arrive as they planned, but now, with the passing years, I have grown wiser and never L. W. MEERS really expect to thresh until I see the rig turn in our driveway! Threshers are very much like an ac- comodation train that used to run through our town. If it was on time it was a mistake, and if it was late it was really on time at that. But, somehow, some one must thresh last, and possibly he will be some- what put out in one way or another ——but no doubt next year the tables will turn, and he will be one of the favored ones. “The last shall be first, and the first shall be last”, was- n’t meant for threshing rule, but it generally works out that way. )l‘ 3k * What Did I Say? . Yes, what did I say in the last talk about leaving alfalfa in bunches long enough to kill out the plants beneath? We cut alfalfa, and never We had it nearly all in bunches the second day, and fit to haul. But the weather was good, so we helped a neighbor thresh, intending to draw the alfalfa the next day. Before the next day arrived, came the hardest rain in years. Five inches fell in about five 'hours, and at regular intervals ever since we get from one half to one inch of wet, to keep the alfalfa soak— ed. So there seems no possibility of its making hay, and we shall draw it as soon as possible, wet or no wet, and at least get it off the field onto one we shall plow next year. It ought to make humus, when plowed under. 1 * * at Potatoes , Never have we had such a wonder— ful growth of potato tops. It is a task to walk through the fields. If the tuber crop is in proportion to the tops, we will need another stor- age house. But we haven’t planned it yet! Great thrifty tops do not al- ways denote a bumper crop, and I am inclined to think the tops have overdone a good thing this year. It is surprising how the Bordeaux mixture adheres to the plants thru all these rains. It has rain d so much it has been" difficult to ge suit— able weather for spraying.

It takes twenty minutes for applica- tion; another twenty minutes is re- quired in going to and from the fields, refilling, etc. Thus spraying for six times on ten acres is quite an item of expense, but in most sea- sons it will pay out, and must be done if the field is certified. alt 4' III . ' ' Guinea Hens In a recent article mention was made of the havoc done by rats in our corn crib, and the statement was made that we intended to build a new crib in such a manner rats could not enter. . Now comes a letter from a good friend in Custer, Mich., in which he says Guinea hens are almost certain to drive rats away from a farm. He has quite convincing proof of it, and as it is a new method of rat exter— mination to us, we are wondering whether any one else among M. B. F- readers have perhaps tried it. If so, I have been a. subscriber to your paper since your first regular issue, and have always enjoyed it very much. Think the department that gives me the most pleasure is “Broad— scope Farm News", by Mr. Mocks. I enjoy his very sgnsible and practical articles very much. Wishing you continued success, I remain.-—-0rla M. Clark, Clinton County. ‘ I; we should like to hear from them. If it is a success it would be a very economical way, for really Guinea hens are quite a profitable proposi— tion on the farm anyway. Seems as if there is no other poultry meat quite as good as that of the Guinea and if it were not for their i‘mita- tion saxaphone playing they would be found on many more farms than they are at present. ' =l< alt * Fall Seeding It seems many farmers would like to sow alfalfa when they sow their wheat and mention of this practice was made in the last issue, and noth~ ing more definite can be said. It‘ may possibly be successful, but the chances are too great against it. Some may wonder why, if August 15 is a good date to sow alfalfa, why September 15 should be altogether too late. 1 Four weeks growth on young alfalfa means a great deal, and if it were possible for it to attain growth enough, when sown in wheat, to winter successfully, it would either crowd the wheat the next spring, or the wheat would crowd it. Surely two crops could not make nor- mal growth and, if left to cut when the wheat was harvested, the alfalfa would be nearly worthless. _ When so 11 alone in August it should be ready for the first cutting the next June. Many want to know about sowing lime for alfalfa. Shall it be sown when wheat is, or sown on wheat in spring when _,the alfalfa is seeded? By all means sow the lime when fitting the ground for wheat. This advice will be almost too late by the time this copy reaches its readers, but it is the gist of some letters which have been sent out this past week, and may be of some value to some one, even at this late, date.

HE Maytag Tub is “machinery free”——all washing space— holds four gallons more than other tubs, and, being heavy cast-aluminum, it keeps the water hot for an entire washing. It will not rust, split, shrink, swell nor corrode. It cleans itself in 30 seconds and empties itself. ‘ . Because of the scientific shape of this Cast-Aluminum Tub, and the marvelous Gyrafoam principle, the Maytag washes twice as - _, . '1 fast as other washers, and washes cleaner—a big tubful in 3 to 7 minutes. Grimy work-clothes, and greasy overalls are washed perfectly clean without hand-rubbing, yet the daintiest garments are washed with hand carefulness.

As one gentleman said to another . “Where do they get that stud?" The omit} estimate for apples - is only ‘60 per cent or a rail crop and for er es .70 per .. con . Nothing so -t‘remendous about that, in tact believe that even this estimate is too , high as far as the grape crop is concerned. Many ‘ growers are al- ready complain- : ing about the shortness of the crop. Michigan's estimated peach crop is also far from being a record-breaker. having been exceeded in size three times in the last 11 years. Much has also been heard about the great national apple crop but examination of the records shows that this crop has also been exceeded many times in the past. Talking about a flood of fruit may furnish amusement for some one but we cannot see that it will help the grower very much. PEACH YELLOWS AND LITTLE- PEACH EACH yellows and little-peach P are staging a comeback in parts of southern Michigan. Growers are urged to be on the lookout and to promptly destroy all deseased trees. There is some danger in the fact that many of the younger grow— ers are more or less unfamiliar with the symptoms of these diseases. BPRAYING RASPBERRIES I would like to know about the spraying of raspberries) The young canes have a blight, sort of blotches mostly on the lower part. What should I spray them with and when and would a duster work as good. as spraying?—,—'C. M., Breckenridge, Michigan. OUR raspberries are no doubt suffering from anthracn‘ose. Re- move the old canes immediately after harvest and spray each, year as follows: 1.—Just as‘the leaf buds begin to burst in the spring use 5 gallons of lime-sulphur in 50 gallons of water. 2.——Just before the bios-' some open use bordeaux mixture, two pounds copper sulphate, tour pounds lime and fifty gallons water. I know of no growers who use dust on rasp- berries. OLD BLACKBERRY PATCH On a farm we have recently pur- chased there is a patch of black- berries that have not been tended for years. They are the Eldorado variety, and have spread all over but yield practically nothing. What Herbert rather ' is the best way of bringing the patch up to what it should be and the quickest? If we plowed out the sprouts back to the original rows If we cut would they .do anything? -___._ -ww,_’_.._lv following a wet spell. ‘to attact peach trees. I .4— s_._ _.._ » or an sprouts cit, would they reduce a- erop or berries next year at the new s routsrLA. w.— 13., East Jordan; Mic igan. E would advise you to remove -' the old canes from the rows after harvest. Pruning or plowing this late in the season would notice advtsable as it may stimulate a late ' rowth and cause winter k111- fng. . ‘ext spring, early, plow the patch back to the original Time and keep}1 it dragged until picking time. In t e early spring the ones in the rows should be thinned about 8 inches apart, leaving the strongest canes. The young sheets should be pinched to a height of about 18 inch- es during the summer. This makes a stocky cane and encourages branching. v BROWN SPOT What kind of spray is best to control these brown spots on apples and when to apply it?——H. C. K., Pompeii, Michigan. IF the spots are sunken and the skin unbroken then the trouble may be due to early hail injury or to stippen. The latter is a dis- ease Which is thought to be caused by extreme fluctuations of water sup— ply such as a drought immediately Baldwin is very susceptible and Spy and King are also sometime troubled. The brown spots are not confined to the skin but also extend through into the flesh of the apple. Johnathan- spot is a similar disease which is so serious on the Johnathan that the culture of this variety is being given up in some sections. Neither of these diseases are curable and spray- ing will do no good. Scab spots can be controlled by spraying with lime-sulphur solution. These are graying’ in color and as a rule, are not sunken. Spray just before the blossoms are open, again after the blossoms drop and again two weeks later. FIRE-BLIGHT I have some apple trees that look good and had taken good care of them but once in a while I can find a limb where the leaves are curled and dried up. I did cut the dry leaves with limbs and all off but in‘ about a day or two there will be some other limbs drying also. I have the same trouble with the peach trees; I must tell you that the trees were sprayed when still dormant.— J. P., Cedar, Michigan. OUR apple trees are no doubt suffering f r o m fire-blight. , Spraying will not control this disease. The trees should be gone over at frequent intervals and the blighted limbs cut oil? well below the diseased portion. Blighted spurs should also be removed. The disease may also rundown a limb and cause a canker on the main branch. These cankers should be cut out and the wound disinfected with lysol or cor- rosive sublimate solution. We have never known fire-blight Your peach trees are probably suffering from some other trouble such as borers or the effects of winter injury. :r one: or nanom- mon sonoor. nxn rssraocroa e 1} that ,ogommnnity. ‘Un .. m: *' mes-o wrot‘thojrrouonynigh 5M1.“ bwomc “ in t flu,“ in the front row) the “Sign” ‘to‘lsigonffltlxi‘loo‘ Bi m“ “he on: " - ' 0 on ’0. phat over 400 acres.

THE BUSINESS FABMEB, mt. Clemens, Mich. , . a Warner and he wlll be pleased I! you are a paid-up subscriber.) TEXT: “You are the light of the world. Even so let your light so shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matt. 5:14a, 16. ‘ “ ET the lower lights be burning." I hear you singing it now; and you would mean it if you pond- ered. It was a dark, wild, and star- less night and a boat was plunging in a heavy sea near Cleveland harb- or. On seeing but one light in the light—house, the captain asked, “Is this Cleveland?” “This is,” said the pilot. “But where are the lower lights?” “They have gone out, sir." “Do you think we can make the harbor?” “We have no other choice. We must try.” And the courageous pilot did try, but only to send his boat on the rocks. Lives were lost because the lower lights on the harb— or had gone out. It is related that this incident prompted the writing of our familiar hymn. We are salt silently and incon- spicously putting sweetening and flavor into the world to arrest its decay. But, we are light sending out conspicous and illuminating rays to human crafts making for a safe harbor thru the heavy seas of life. Ye are “in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom,” says Paul, “ye are seen as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life.” “Ye are.” Grand function! How thrilling to be parti- cipants in such a royal work! “Ye are the light of the world.” How relatively eminent the Christ- ian’s position is, may be seen in the wordsof Christ, “I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness.” This be- came apparent to the Revelator who tells us, “there shall be no night there.” A poetical conception is, “This lamp from off the everlast- ing throne, Mercey took down and night of time Stood, casting on the dark her gracious bow, And evermore beseeching men with- tears " And earnest sighs, be- lieve, and live.” in the to hear, u Verily, we are going on to that time; yea, we are in that time in proportion as we are light. But again, “Whence this light? Listen, “He was the true light that lighteth every man that cometh in- to the world.” The Jesus of our fathers and of revelation has thrown his long trail of light across the centuries; and there Paul, Polycarp, Huss, Luther, Wycliffe, Wesley, Moody, Mott, Speer, Eddy, and oth- ers have lit their torches to be light in themselves. It is well to keep in mind that moral darkness and despair can only be dispelled thru a constant and vital touch with the Light- Bringer. He has come to make us light—holders. “The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah." We bow most humbly to those who are lights in the fields of science of invention, of literature, and of industry. We are grateful for those who labor there. In these fields we all can not qualify as lights. But all Christians are to be light— holders of moral illumination, con- viction, and certainty to e. perishing world. - V The other day I heard a speaker who has a vivid and intense convic— tion of the evils of intemperance. I saw his face glow and felt his en- thusiasm burn. Even so, light must glow. That is its nature. Hear Luther at Worms, surrounded by un- relenting enemies ,pressed on every hand to recent, and his life in peril! Hear him say, “I cannot do other- wise, so help me God." His verbal lihtning and thunderbolts are still reWerberatlng down the...centur-ies. Evidently, he had caught hold of the ‘ robe of his Master‘and would not let it go. Be; Bu .

Christian, if you .have no longing to spring your conviction upon the world, it must be very fee- ble indeed. The soap—box socialist. soon lets you know what he has found. And the world expects to hear and learn from you. Light can do nothing else but to shine. How big a corner arevyou brightening? Christ lit his disciples to shine. They were sitting upon a mountain communing. For across the valley was a citadel perched upon the rocks. Jesus said to them, “Do you see that city? A city upon a hill cannot be hid.” How simple—but profound—the teachings! Christ- ians are to be radiant and happy, but not for themselves alone. Sup- pose the Sun would say, “Now I am going to keep all my light and warmth for myself. I'll not risk losing it thru shining into the dark valleys, and forests of the earth.” What would happen? All creation would cry out against him. Will your neighbors cry out against you in the judgment? Some churches act as if it were their chief business to save religion rather than men. So engrossed are they about “mint, anise, and cummin” that they for- get about men. It is generally sup- posed by “the man in the street” that the churches are to save men. And doesn’t the church that is spend- ing major strength and time to keep creed and discipline intact, come dangerously near cutting itself loose from Christ? “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men.” “Let your light so shine before men.” The lighthouse-keeper is in- structed to care for the lights and keep them burning. Why? So that lake—burdened ships and wind-tossed crafts might find their way say thru the darkness to the shore. But one day he soliquizes, “I am instructed to keep this light burning” and then begins to throw the shutters over the windows, saying, “I am not going to let the wind blow it out.” Well, he has light in his own little room, but the sea is dark and the ships cannot find the harbor. He might as well blow out his light for he has betray- ed his trust. Let your light shine before men. Said the men in the barbershop, “Preachers are full of platitudes about religion, but look at their members.” How painfully, but logically, true that the world judges religion by the personal living of professing Christians! “Ye, as liv- ing epistles are read and known of all men.” most manifest explanation of the Gospel. “Ye” not in the church pew robed in saintly garments, but “ye” in the home, on the street, in busi- ness, and all life—expressions. Beech- er said, “Give me one hundred men of God and I will defy the infidel world.” 'But it took but one Luther to stir a decaying order to its dregs. The heat of his soul has burned the dross out of thousands of infidels. So, we need men that glow, not only when they sing; and that look saintly not only when they pray. An ill-smelling Christian creates an aw- ful odor in the, community. But a handful of folks who are Willing to . be bruised so that the fragrance of Christianity might be released, can transform a community in a‘short time. “Let your light so shine”-—let it shine “before men"——let it shine, “that they may see," not you, but “your good works"-——"and glorify,” not you, but “your Father who is in heaven.” BIBLE ’IEHOUGH'I‘S REMEMBER NOW thy,» Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have .Lei us hear Fear God,- and. keep his-command- ments-:. for» thist the -.whole dutymf‘ “Ye” are the boldest and.

MEANING OF RADIO TERMS Power amplifier—An audio-frequency amplifier designed to deliver sufficient electrical energy to a sound reproducer to make the signal audible in a large ball or auditorium. Refraction—The change in direction of a wave when it strikes the boundary be- tween two media of different density. Reflection—the bending backward of a wave when it enters a medium of differ- ent density. For instance, a ray of light entering water will bend upward. Rotor—That part of any radio appar- atus which turns, such as movable plates for a condenser, the revolving part of a vario-coupler, or variometer, or the ro- tating part of an electrical machine. Secondary—The second winding of a transformer, or the winding which de- livers energy. Shunt—~A parallel connection. An in— strument or piece of apparatus is con— nected across the line or some other in- strument in the circuit. Taps—Connections made to an induc- tance coil to vary the number of turns in— cluded in the circuit. Vacuum tube—An electron emission de— vice having two or three electrodes en- closed in a vessel from which air and I wish to thank you for the help your Radio Department gave me in rebuilding my radio receiving set. This set works fine now and I appreci ate all that you have done for me. C. W. Hickmott, Oakland County, Michigan. other gases have been removed to a high degree Of vacuum. An electron relay. Vernier—A device by means of which accurate readings of a meter may be ob- tained, or by means of which a fine vari- ation of instruments can be effected. Static—The electrical disturbances due to atmosphereic discharges, such as light— ning, or charges sometimes accumulating on the antenna due to moisture. Tickler—An inductance coil, by means of which energy from the plate circuit is returned to the grid circuit, in order to obtain regeneration. Vario-eoupler—A radio frequency trans- former in which the relative positions of the two coils may be changed. Amplifier—A circuit or other device which increases the intensity of electric current; usually, it is a circuit compris— ing one or more three-electrode vacuum tubes. Detector—Any device which renders radio frequency signals perceptible; usu- ally a rectifier. Fading—The irregular fluctuation of the strength of a radio signal from a distant station, observed especially at night. Its cause has not yet been defi- nitely determined. Farad—The practical unit of capacity. If a steady current of one ampere flows into a condenser, and the voltage across the condenser is one volt at the end of one second, the capacity of that condenser is one farad. A microfarad is .000001 farad. COMIWENTS Please send us one of your pads for the taking of Market Reports. They are very good—Chas. J, Klemmer, St. Clair County.

Service" FIGHTING THE CHICKEN THIEF’ NHICKEN thieves are getting altogether too C numerous and active. Last year the farm— ers of Illinois lost around $1,600,000 worth of: poultry, according to a recent investigation. That seems like a rather high figure perhaps, but we are inclined to believe that the value of the poultry stolen in Michigan in one year would amount to almost that figure. This would be about one-third of the value of the chickens sold off Michigan farms in a year. So many farmers have had their poultry houses raided that some of them are considering most seriously abandoning the raising of any chickens, except possibly a few to eat and supply/the family with eggs. Feeling that something must be done to prevent this increasing loss to the farmers of our state Tan MICHIGAN BUSINESS Fame Service and Protective Bureau has decided to offer $1,000 in rewards to folks who furnish evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of any person guilty of stealing poultry that is the sole property of a paid-up subscriber to this publication. It is our desire to make Michigan a mighty unpopular place for chicken thieves and we are not asking any of you to contribute one cent towards the $1,000, but we will appreciate your helping us get details regarding conditions in' your locality at present. Full details regarding this new service we are offering you are given on the opposite page. . THE NATIONAL DAIRY EXPOSITION . URING the week from October 6th to 13th the spot-light, as far as the farmers of this country are concerned, will be turned onto Detroit. It will be the National Dairy Exposition week. For the first time, and perhaps the last, in the history of‘ the National Dairy Association the an- nual show will be held in Michigan this tall, at the Michigan State Fair grounds. Many farmers of this state have had desires to attend the National Dairy Exposition some day, .and a. few ‘ of them have done so, going long distance at considerable expense, but this year the show is available to all of them at comparatively little cost. Folks came to the State Fair this year from the most western counties of the Upper Penin— sula and we expect to see them back to the dairy show. Also we expect to see folks there from every state in the Union as well as many of the Canadian provinces. Many of them will come with exhibits, but there will be thousands who come purely to see the show. What they will learn from the show more than justifies the ex- pense of those attending from distant states, so farmers of Michigan can not afford to miss it. Mark the dates on your calendar and plan to be there. ' RURAL FIRE TRUCKS N the rural sections surrounding Adrian, there - is ' an organization, composed of farmers, known as the “Rural Fire Protective Associa- tion of Lenawee County. This association owns a fire truck to fight rural fires. It is kept in the Albion fire hall and operated by the firemen of“ ’ “at Hog,_m@,y_..momnu a: do)“ 19,. j?!” I 1 M11», h, ill let than g .43‘: - groundon‘ce’ the are sets: started.

'Rural fire losses in America each year amount to $ 15,000,000, or one-Sixth of the income of the. farmers. Farm property is considered a poor risk and less than 10 per cent of the insurance companies make any eifort to insure it. . City buildings, protected by modern fire fighting equipment, is what they are looking for because the risk is not as great, A roof that is fire proof will help protect the ’farm building in many cases but supposing lightning strikes? 0:- a fire starts inside the building, becauSe of .in- ternal combustion or numerous other causes? A buckét brigade is about the best fire fighting equipment that could be found and we doubt if neighbors can be called together quick enough to save anything once‘the fire is under way. On a recent trip the Adrian fire department made a run of 9.4 miles in 13 minutes. How many neighbors could you get together within that time? out a fire of any size. An association of this kind was recently or- ganized among the farmers near Hastings. Barry county, with the fire truck to be kept at Host» lugs and manned by Hastings firemen. We hope the time is not far off when there will be at least one organization of this kind in almost every county in the state, particularly those that are thickly populated. Insurance companies will be only too glad to reduce their rates on rural prop- erty when that time comes.

Exhibits told the visitors about the department of agriculture, of the state agricultural college, and of the farmers’ organizations. Choice fruits, grains, live stock, poultry and other products of the farm, were there from every section of the state. Some of the finest cattle'from the state. owned herds, in which every taxpayer has an in- terest, were there, as well as horses, sheep and swine owned by the state. Exhibits by Boys’ and Girls' Club members, different schools, and the State Department of Conservation, all increased one’s knowledge'of this state. Then there were the products of many of the leading factories of Michigan on display to show what is produced in the cities. , We believe that most of the folks who visited the State Fair this year went away with a. new appreciation of what a wonderful state we have.

Unless drastic measures are immedi- ately taken our readers will lose thousands of dollars during the next low months, due to the increased price of poultry and, 'theretore. the added returns oilered to the chicken thieves through an extra good "catch." Realising fully that this is a ser- ious condition now existing on the farms, The Michigan Business Farm— er has set aside"one thousand dollars to be paid for the capturing, aiding and assisting in the arrest and con- viction of any and all chicken thieves preying on the flocks of our subscribers. - It is a mighty easy thing for the long-fingered boys who live in the cities and who choose to eke out an existence by prying on the farmers of our state rather than doing an honest day's work, to hop in their cars any evening, drive out to the first good looking chicken coop, and with an old sack under their arm make a catch that is worth several dollars to them. They have no trouble in disposing of their product and have found this a mighty re- numerative job. ,While these chicken thieves are operating all over the state of Mich- igan, their evil presence is especial- ly noticeable the closer one gets to our large cities. As we stated be- fore, it only takes a few minutes to make a run out into the country sev- eral miles, get a nice flock of chick— ens and beat it back to town without any great risk on the part of the thieVes. Many examples have al- ready been found where flocks have been robbed from fifty to as high as five hundred chickens in a single night. Other farmers have reported a serieseot raids on the chicken coop resulting in as high as two thousand ‘five hundred chickens being stolen _ within a few nights. It is the purpose of The Michigan Service and Pro- tective Bureau to work in close co- operation with local oiiicers, county sherlifs, and Michigan State Troop- ers. Our plan will be presented to all of these authorities and we have already been assured that we will re- ceive the closest cooperation possi- ble to drive the chicken thief out of the rural districts of Michigan. If you should have chickens stolen we want you to immediately report this matter to your sheriff and in turn write to us at once the details of the robbery and we will not only get in connection with the local authorities but we will broadcast to - .our field service men the time and place of the robbery and any oi our men who are working in that vicinity well immediately get in touch with The most of thlr W In toot outI subscribers from Module“ Ol- unfou- treatment by person or concerns I udlrtsnoo.

ARE CAUGHT ECENTLY two rather oily ton- gued chaps called on a farmer living near Port Austin, Huron county, and presented to him a plan whereby he could get rich quick by » an investment of only $5,000 in some real estate near Detroit. One of the men was a former employee of. the farmer, ‘so he swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker. He was to have his money ready inside of a couple of days and the men would return to take him to Detroit to see the property and close the deal, if it suited him. He got the money from his bank and the men showed up at the agreed time. One asked that he might count the money and in the presence of his partner and the farmer proceded to do so then put- ting the money in an envelope on the table. The crooks then an- nounced that they had forgotten certain papers and would. have to re— turn to the town nearby where they were staying. The farmer picked up the envelope and put it away to await the return of the men. They did not return that day and when Mr. Farmer went to count his money that evening he found the envelope contained only paper folded to make it look bulky. Nobody knows where the crooks disappeared to with the $5,000. ‘ Now comes the lucky part of it all for the farmer. The police caught them before they got far away, and returned to the farmer over $4,000 in money and an automobile that the men had purchased with the rest of the $5,000. The men got 18 months to five years in the state ro- formatory at Ionia. It is usually about one case in a hundred where such crooks are caught, at least. before they have gotten rid of all the money.

' lawyer in town, Mort?” 1 "Terry Carpenter has an office and he’s censidered pretty good.” v . “We’re not licked yet!” declared Doug. Next morning it was decided that Terry should go alone since there was consid- erable work' to do on the ranch. 'He went horseback since the road to town was impassable for a car altho the main highway was kept open. He found Mr. Carpenter in his office. a little den joining the general store, in- troduced himself and went directly to the 'point. “Can’t we make them thresh our grain if they operate the rig at all?" he finished. ' "No." said Carpenter, “you can’t, be- cause the way they’re organized it isn't a public utility but a privately owned machine, not working for the public in . general. 'The only way you can possibly , . force them to tlire'sh for you is to become " possessor of a share in the rig.” “No chance of that,” said Terry discon- solately. “How much do I owe you?" “Nothing,” said Carpenter promptly. "When I can be of real service to you then I can charge you accordingly." “Then I’m very much obliged,” said Terry rising. ’ “Good luck," said Carpenter pleasantly ~‘ and followed him to the door. ‘ A supersix purred and turned into the highway to Denver, a single man, well ' above middle age, was driving. Carpenter’s eyes followed the car. ‘ “Guess Carey’s going out,” he said. Terry whirled. “Who?” he asked. "C. D. Carey, owner of the U Bar here and in Texas. He spends the sum- mers here and the winters down there.” Terry’s horse stood at the railing, reins dangling. Into the saddle the lad leaped and spurred after the fleeing car. Had it not been for the fact that the road‘was covered with loose snow, render- in‘g" fast driving difficult, he would never have overtaken the car. As it was, he \ rode up alongside after a chase of half ' a mile and halted the car. "What is it?” asked Mr. Carey. open- ing the door. "A hold up?" He was ‘smiling. _ “Yes, sir," said Terry, "guess it is. Have you time to talk to me a minute?" “Plenty of it.” Terry explained the situation and wound up by asking for the privilege of ‘buying a share in the rig. “We're not flushed with money but we'll pay you anything in reason,” he said. “Will you let us have it?" “Why yes." said Carey. "They're a stiff-necked bunch over there on the creek, but not so 'bad after you know them. I paid Zwick two hundred dollars for that share and I’ll let you have it , ' for what it cost me. Ride back to Car- ' .penter's office and we‘ll fix it up." ' V In ten minutes the deal was made and Terry rode into the corral late that after- noon waving his hat and yelling. "Caught Carey Just as he was leaving," he said. "Now we'll see what’s what. Threshing started the next day. With the exception of Kord, the members of the crew seemed glad to have them in.

They made it to the mill about ten o'clock that night, with the team utterly played out. The owner of the mill,gwhich had been abandoned for a year, lived a quarter of a mile up a draw.

Young Terry. who is around 19, and his chum, Doug Summers, an orphan of about the same age, go on ahead to get work under way as it is harvest time. Shortly after their arrival they meet up with Kord, their next door neighbor, one of the meanest cussos you ever heard tell of. Then the family arrives, and things start happening pretty regular. First their stacks of grain are set on fire, then they have trouble in finding their cattle. Next, they discover that if they are to have their grain threshed they will have to buy an interest in the threshing rig, and they are again opposed by Kord. Now go on with the story. Then without warning the front rope parted, close to Kord’s hands. Horrified, Doug watched the front end They entered the kitchen which was still warm and cozy.

S. 0., was born in Neleaven, Connecticut, in 1879. His father was director of the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University. He recived his early education at the Hopkins Grammer School and graduated from the school directed by his father in 1900, where he studied civil engineering. Continuing his training at Yale he took up forestry and the degree of Master of Forestry two years later. Following this . he spent some time abroad studying ‘ forestry in many foreign lands. Upon his return to the United States he was engaged by the U.’ S. Depart- ' ment of Agriculture. In 1913 he was appointed to the ,di- rector of the Engineering Experiment Station and lecturer on lumber at the University of Illinods, and the next yam-gimme to S. 0. as Professor of_ Forestry.

Dry wood was in abundance and soon a great fire [was roaring..thru the Wild- cat's rusty dues and the boiler began singing. ' ‘ ' ~ ‘ .2 “She don’t leak a drbp, Terry.” said Doug with huge satisfaction. "She’s com- in' fine." ’ . ‘ .- ' ‘ . .At threeo'clock the steam gauge stood ‘ at a hundred pounds. Doug filled the (bunkers with coal and the tank with wa ter. ' I . ' "She's ready," he said. “Get the team and I'll start her up the grade. You can soon catch me." ' ‘ “No use you boys starting now." said Mr: Cole.‘ “It’ll be. dark in an hour or so. ' . “Got to do it,” said Doug. “The snow's getting deeper all the time up there on the divide. We'll have the time of our lives getting thru.” ’ “You will that," agreed Mr. Cole. “Watch your water. The creeks are a good ways apart in places.” "We’re a. thousand times obliged to “You helped us out a lot." .“Glad to do it. Glad to do it." Doug opened the throttle. The engine started and ran smoothly. There Was a. small piston knock but it disappeared, as the engine gathered speed. Doug turned the engine and the Wild- cat drove snorting up the grade thru. snow almost over the front trucks. Terry caught him before he had gone half a mile. left the team to follow, and climbed up beside him. ‘ _ ' They made four miles'before darkness fell. - Then Terry tied the horses to the sled and fed them while Doug banked the fire. They spread the blankets on the floor of the cab, ate supper and went to \ sleep with snowflakes hissing against the hot boiler. With the first streaks of dawn they were up, and were on the road as soon as there was sufficient light to see. The grade.became steeper and the snow deeper as they advanced. The engine labored harder and harder. At noon they were but five miles from the top. and stopped. at a small stream and took on water. “If we can get over the top today we'll make it,” said Terry. “We’ll make it if it takes a leg,” said Doug. After dinner the snow what and became sticky. It began to roll up on the drivers. It would roll up on them until it was a foot and a half thick, then fall off on one side, leaving the engine tilted at 'a dangerous angle. It cut down the power, too. “If it sticks this way on that pitch just before we get to the top we’ll never make it," said Doug. “And there’s no brakes- to hold this thing with. You’d better have a good chock ready when we get there." Terry found a short 6x6 in the sled and put it on the ’engine. About four o'clock they struck the last pull, a bad one. Just before going into the climb Doug shut off. The drivers were coated with snow over a foot thick. “Let’s knock that off before we start, Terry,” he said, “and I’m going to put on steam till she pops. She’ll never make that grade on a measly hundred pounds. If she blows up, let her go. Just as well blow up as stick here." He opened the draft and coaled the en- gine while Terry cleared the drivers. Up the needle on the steam gauge climbed, up to a hundred twenty, thirty, forty, then to forty-five. “Must be a high pressure boiler," mut- tered Doug. "or else the safetyavalve’s stuck." Up the needle went to a. hundred and fifty, then to fifty-five, nearly to one hundred sixty. Then the safety valve began to grumble and a great cloud of steam shot out with a great noise. Doug grinned. "Better tie the team “If we start back down the grade it'd be a mean mixup to meet them comin' up.” "Good idea," said Terry. He tied them off the road and climbed back up beside Doug. _ , Doug jerked the throttle wide open and the Wildcat hit the grade lurching like a runaway freight car. Up she went. the exhaust increasing until it became one continuous roll, then the snow began to bank up on the drivers. Higher and higher it piled, slower and slower became the exhaust. “She's geing to quit us!" yelled Doug. “Have that chock ready!" , Down leaped Terry with the chock.

I Some Time and Labor Saving Ideas By JAS. N. Sealing Silo Doors WILL repeat an item of one year ago because of its importance to the man with a Silo. For sealing around the doors use clay mud just like the old fashioned “chinking” of log cabins. This mud put on with a paddle or pointed trowel is so cheap and effective that when once tried all other appliances will be aband- oned. One farm journal advised us- ing parraffin melted, when a clay motar is quite as good and costs nothing. If one wants a chemical name for clay and feels mud is too plain he can say alluminum sillicate makes the best and cheapest selling for silo doors. * tl‘ Ilt Mending Trace An old lumberman showed me an effective way of trace mending where the break was near the upper end viz: two of the couplings used at the end to attach the trace chains were riveted on each end at the break and connected into an oval chain link, the belly hand strap being attached to this link. Often time two broken traces can be made into one very serviceable one by this expedi- entu I regard this device as super— ior to .the metal splices which are often used. ll: * * Cement Food Floor To the man~who is making a. ce- ment feed floor and has plenty of MCBRIDE small stone, the concrete motor cost can be cut at least one—half and the same is true of most concrete walls, the professional cement contractors to the contrary notwithstanding. 3|: * * Plowing Alfalfa Much of the grief connected with plowing alfalfa so can be overcome by sharpening the cutting portions of the plowshare every two or three hours. A carborundum grinder on a mandrel driven by power is the proper sharpener and will pay for itself on the ordinary farm in one year. The effective use of a plow point can be tripled as well as its use for sharpening all cutting tools, including cultivator teeth. Solomon said in the proverbs that if the tool was dull to put'on more strength, but that was when labor was cheap and before much knowledge "of abrasives. * * * Grain \Vagon A grain wagon to hold 100 bushels or more is a handy arrangement and can be built on the frame of an abandoned manure spreader at a small cost. This grain wagon can be used for handling the fed grains to cattle, sheep or hogs and serves as temporary storage bin. When gran— aries are equipped for elevators either by blower or cup elevators grain wagons can displace bags and much labor at threshing time.

It was a beautiful butterfly with golden wings. "Oh! if I could only catch it”, he cried, "I would have it for my play~ mate.” So Tommy started after it, he almost had his hands on it when it began to fly toward the woods. Tommy followed the butterfly so far he lost his way. All of the sudden a puff of wind blew the butterfly out of sight, so Tommy had to stop. He looked around but he could” not find his way, so he lay down at the foot of a tree and went to sleep. Soon he had a dream that an old witch came along and saw him laying on the ground and said, "What are you doing so far away from home? Come with me and I will show you the way home," so Tommy went with her. ' “Little boy, what is your name?" “Tommy.” “Oh, that's a nice name. You must be tired come I will carry you.” At that she grabbed him. Soon they turned a. corner and there stood the witches palace. She walked over to a little shed and pushed him in and shut the door. Tommy began to cry and woke up. He soon found his way home. He never wandered away into the woods again for fear the witch would be in the CAN YOU REPEAT THIS? “A flea and a fly once nlet in a hub.

The auctioneer an nounces that he or she has a beef for sale, and the rest of the party choose the part they require. The auctioneer leads on with, say, the leg of the animal. “The head for me, please," cries number one. . “I’ll have the sirloin," says the next player. “The tail for me," is the request of number three, and so on until everyone has choosen a part of the beef. . The leader then secures a prom ise from the players that they will repeat whatever he says, altering only the last word, when the part of the bullock they have chosen is substituted. ' "I wish someone would rub my leg," says the leader. “I wish someone would rub my head,” is the request of the next person, and so on all around. If any player finds the part he or she has chosen too embarrassing, the relentless leader announces that “Miss— wishes someone would rub her shin bone,” Miss hav- ing to pay a forfeit. After everyone has repeated the wish for rubbing the auctioneer goes on wishing someone would kiss, ca- ress, paint, etc, her head, ear .or heart, and the rest of the party fol- low suit amid much merriment. w _ m rm, as THE ADVENTURES OF THE PESKY PEANUT we” ? . a . .rsnahnzw. .m’nw‘.-"r< . . wean c a.

Consolida- tion is used in organizing dairy and , other farm associations. More recently WashingtonJ—Pres- ident Codiidge-has consolidated "boards and commissions at a saving of millions in taxation. State gov- ernments have followed suit. County consolidation should save possibly half of the local tax. One court house, instead of four or five, one jail, one county farm, etc., the district court holding session in one fixed place instead, of moving from place to place, and above all one set of county officials. Nor would the plan affect present“, county oilicials, since even their second terms will have expired before consolidation be- came effective. Heretofore the custom was to di- vide large counties—«farmers voted for the division in order to place themselves within driving distance of the county seat, but distance has been greatly; eliminated by automo- biles, good roads, telephones, rural mail, radio and the nearest local bank attending to the farmers’ taxes and other business heretofore trans- acted by him in DBI'SOII,"SO one lo— cation of the county buildings and county oflicials is far less important than formerly.

TOP 0’ MICHIGAN SHOW SCHED- ULED FOR NOVEMBER 8 TO 5 HE Fourth Annual Top 0’ Michi- gan Potato and Apple Show will be held at Gaylord, November 3, 4, 5, according to Mr. A. C. Lytle, Secretary. A larger and more at- tractive premium list is being pre- pared and an especially strong edu- cational program is planned for the occasion. Any grower from Che- boygan, Otsego, Crawford, Alpena, Presque Isle, Emmet, or Antrim counties are eligible to compete for the $1,200 in cash prizes offered. In fact, every county, except Charlevolx, in the northern “tip” of Michigan is contributing financially toward the Show and is, therefore eligible. The Show is also receiving financial sup— port from the Michigan Central Rail- road, the Northwestern Michigan De- velopment Bureau, and the State of Michigan. Mr. Fred Brudy, President of the Show and a prominent potato grow- er r‘ Wolverine, says, “The Top 0' Michigan Potato Show has become an institution in northern Michigan which we are unable to get along without. Not only has it advertised and demonstrated the fact that this. iii-the home circa! quality potatoes. 3 ,wertukagency in matter. .7; it. also maka th, sti ' ,cvsnt hi‘ch ywe cultural N itfi'eiarmma" and; opens up . on the railroads, but‘O‘here the farmer and '.,railroad can join hands with all oth- ’er‘ taxpayers, 'and if the rialroad "saves half its local taxes it will be in position to. reduce freight‘rates. Consolidation would work best where counties are small and. thinly populated. There is little reason for such counties to have almost the same overhead as larger and more thickly populated counties. The San Luis Valley, Colorado had six sets of ofliciails for its popula- tion of 31,928 in 1920, one county having less than 800 people,--only one had over 8,000. ‘One state in Mexico has three legislatures and seven governors! We laugh—why? Nature has fixed certain -"natural boundries, such as the San Luis Val- ley of southern Colorado, for which consolidation was first proposed. This valley with all-year good roads seems meant by Nature for one ,county and judicial district, as it has one climate, one water shed and is ' entirely surrounded by high mount— ains. It already leads with many of the best consolidated schools accord- ing to Dr. Winship, of Boston, well- known educational authority—Fred L.

We be- lieve that the Show will be better than ever and we hope that all the farmers in northern Michigan may ’avail themselves of this opportunity. We especially want the growers of apples and potatoes to select some of their very best and bring them out to the Show. One grower received over $50.00 last year in prize money and there is no reason why every one should not get some of lthe $1,200 being offered.” It is of interest to know that the Top 0' Michigan Potato Show was the first show of its kind held in this part of the United States, State shows have been in vogue for many years, but the show held at Gaylord four years ago was the first “district show." The idea has now become very popular and is being copied ex~ gassinly in Michigan, New York, and 10.

"""—"—*—~ OUTLINE FOR MEALS MAKES ' PLANNING EASY '.‘ EAL-PLANNING can be re- duced to the simplest terms with a good outline to follow” __ says the state college of home eco— nomics at Ithaca, N. Y. “An out- line which includes the foods neces- sary each day insures the proper combinations of foods and leaves nothing for the housewife to do but to fill in the specific dishes for the daily three meals.” To help housewives the college has worked out a plan for the day’s meals and allows enough leeway for Variety from day to day. Fruit, milk, and whole cereals are the important breakfast items of the ~ meal .plan. At least on—half cup of fr it; fresh, dried or canned, is re- . co mended. A whole cereal break- fast with milk or an equal amount of bread with milk to" drink should be provided. Whole cereal bread, toast or muffins with butter, and a beverage complete the plan for an adequate breakfast. Heartier meals for persons doing muscular work de- mand eggs, bacon, or potatoes. Doughnuts, cookies, jams, marmal- ades, and pancakes are considered desserts, to be eaten only after the essential foods. Dinner, whether at noon or at night, should include potatoes unless dried beans, rice or macaroni is used, and at least one—half cupful of other vegetables. Meat, fish, poultry or an egg or cheese dish should also be a part of this meal, with whole cereal bread and butter to accompany the __ main course. A light dessert such , t as fruit, plain or in salad or pud- ding, simple cake or cookies, ice, or ice cream is advised when the main part of the meal is heavy. Pies, rich cakes, shortcakes, and steamed puddings may follow a light main course. « The supper or lunch plan consists of a vegetable, milk in some form, whole grain in bread or as a cereal with milk, a light dessert, and an egg or cheese dish to make a more substantial meal. Milk is advised as a drink for children at every meal, and adults may have tea or coifee. DO YOU KNOW \VHAT HE EATS? HAT is your child eating? Children who get the proper ' food have the best chance for good health. Good food in the right " amounts is necessary for strong, well-built, and well functioning b o d i e s. Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins are needed. The state college of home economics at Ithaca, N. Y., offers a way to judge the right food for a child. They advise a quart of milk a day for each child, either to drink or in cooked foods, three servings of vegetables, one of Which is pota- toes, two servings of fruit, preter— ably fresh fruit, more whole cereals than refined ones, whether in bread or breakfast food, and an egg a day. If the child gets these foods every day, he is fairly sure of getting the right amounts of protein, carbohy- drates, and the rest, and his chances of being a healthy, vigorous person all his life are greatly strengthened.

He was a most interest- ing speaker, covering the geography of the country very thorough- ly, never, forgetting the funny things which gave us many a hearty .. laugh. . They have many wonderful cities in South America but his travels took him through some of the interior countries, which are occupied by savages. ' One village, though not peopled with savages, had a queer idea of milk delivery. Each morning at daybreak the milkman drove his cows through town, stopping long enough to milk the re- quired amount in whatever vessel the customer may have provided. It is a long way from such service as this to our modern way of de- livering milk and all dairy products. During the week of October 6th to 13th the National Dairy Exposi- tion wil be held on the Michigan State Fair grounds, at Detroit, under the direction of the National Dairy Association. This association was formed in 1915 but this is the first time the exhibition has ever been held in Michigan. Farm women from every county in Michigan and from many other states will meet in a Farm Women’s School which will embrace lectures, demonstrations and meetings of value to farm women in their actual home life, according to an announcement made by Mrs. Edith M. Wager, of Carleton, Michigan, who will have charge of this de- partment. ' ’ There will be an exhibit of home appliances in charge of trained women. Farm women will be shown how better dairy herds will make possible the purchase of these appliances in a short time, from the increased income. We know the many dairy farmers throughout our state are watch- ing this date with great in- terest, and we hope that many of our women may have the opportunity of at- u'r % fw, tending.

It will run as long as the other end is under water and the outer end is below the tub. If she needs a long hose to get the water to the have to practice the stunt a few times to get the outer end of the hose to the desired place While the other end is still under water. The last gallon or two that the hose will not take out can be easily emp- outdoors or to the drain, she may tied in the usual way. OBSERVED AT THE STATE FAIR By BIBS ANNIE TAYLOR WE don’t know just who wished the job onto us, but it fell to the lot of the cashier and myself to represent the M. B. F. at the ' State Fair. At first we dreaded it just a little but before the week was over we had a lot of fun out of it and met many interesting people. We (lid not count the nice things people said about our paper but out of the hundreds of people who passed our booth only two unkind or unjust remarks, be which it may, and every time any one said, “Yes, we take it,” our hearts swelled with pride. It was like watching a movie only better, as the different types of humanity passed before our view. There were tall ones, short ones, fat. ones, slim oncs, among both young and old. Some Whose faces it Was a joy to watch and others, whose expression made you wonder why they came. One day a smiling gentleman introduced himself as “Mr. England from Ireland,” and one of the very first ones to send in his name for M. B. F. He told us there were just two things in his life of which he was proud—first, he won every vote when he ran for sherifl’ of his county, and second he had married twice in the same family. Need- less to say, we enjoyed this caller. Another man wearing a blue ribbon, stopped at our table; of course we offered him a sample of our paper but were somewhat taken back when he said, “NO MAM, don’t want your paper, I’ve got your number," then with a twinkle eye added that he was in charge of the fruit display and feared we would be calling on him for free samples, if he accepted ours. A New York-Michigan farmer who stopped to rest advised us that farmers in New York didn’t have to work, they just elected Al Smith for Governor, then sat back and watched the crops grow until next election time. He also asked our opinion on the political situation in Michigan at the present time and if there were any men connech with our organization. To convince him, we displayed our folders on “Edi- torial and Field Service." 4 Soon after another smiling lady invited us to view her display of banned goods which had taken “sweepstakes” in this class. She had good reason to be proud .of her work and a little later has p'omi5ed us an article on how she makes her “extra” money. She took an awful chance in showing us where to find a'can of "chicken, but of course she didn’t know our weakness in that direction we managed to maintain the. reputation of the M. B. F. We were very glad to meet Mrs. Vandenberg. ‘ One night leaving the grounds on a bus, the driver urged the pass- engers to step back, which all were glad to do for a woman with a baby, each one leaning and squeezing to let her into a proffered seat. Then she turned the blanket back to uncover; the .“poor little darl- ing’s” face but it was only ,a (mt—not a baby. ~Perhaps this cat had won a ribbon or a cup “at the Fair but the grunts of disgust which popped out were not pleasant to hear. v I ' Now we are hoping they will send us again, in 1927. ” ntia be... 31 " ' -: returns teeth. but Draw“!- .‘¥'¢ 1y“ n'o'emphasis has been laid on the- es'sential foods necessary to grow ,and maintain "strong teeth, points out Marie C. Doermann, foods spe- cialistat the New Jersey State Col- lege of Agriculture. ' “Good teeth are, to a. large extent, a matter of inheritance. Long be- fore baby arrives the foundation of ,the first is laid. Mother needs to fortify herself with plenty of lime and iron containing foods like milk, leafy vegetables, and fruits, to have an adequate amount of building ma- , terial for the teeth and bones of the child. ‘ . _ “The first years of a child’s life are the most important from every point of view. If his body is to de- velop and grow normally, milk, veg- etables, and fruits, to have an ade-. quate amount of building material for the teeth and bones of the child. “The first years of a child’s life. are the most important from every point of view. If his body is to de- velop and grow normally, milk, veg- etables, fruits and whole grain ce- reals will be the foundation foods, its they contain plenty o flime, and ron. “Temporary or baby teeth often need to be filled and not pulled. If they are taken out too early the ad- joining teeth soon spread and oc- cupy the space. Thus when the per- manent tooth appears, there is no place for it and uneven teeth are the result. “Good mastication, which means eating plenty of coarsest vegetables, fruits and breads, exercise the gums and aids digestion. Many dental authorities believe that foods and thorough mastication can improve the enamel and dentine in the teeth of adults. “Regular visits to the dentist ev- ery six menths will usually prevent all tooth—ache and keep the teeth in good co ition. By giving atten- tion to t 'e smallest cavity the~life of the tooth Will be preserved and much agony avoided.” Personal ‘ Column Resilver Mirror.—Could you tell me how to recover the back of a mirror. I have one that the quick silver has “come off in spots—Mrs. K., Three Rivers, Mich. ——Clean the bare spots on the back of your mirror by' rubbing gently with fine cotton, taking care to remove all grease and dust. If this cleaning is not done very carefully, defects will appear around the place repaired. With the point of a penknife out upon the back of another looking glass around a portion of the silvering of the required form but a little larger, for each spot. However, work on one spot at a time and complete it before fixing the next one. Upon the piece of silvering place a small drop of mercury; a drop the size of a pin head will be sufficient for a sur- face equal to the size of a nail. The mercury penetrates the amalgam to where it is cut off with the knife, and the re- quired piece may be now lifted and re- moved to the place to be repaired. This is the most difficult part of the operation. Then press lightly the renewed portion with cotton. It hardens almost immedi- ately, and the glass presents the same appearance as when new.——Mrs. A. T. ‘.—. —if you are well bred! Street Courtesics.——1. The place next the curb, for the man walking with a. lady on the street, is the traditional rule still generally observed. In cities now— adays, however, it is usually not insisted upon. The inner was originally the "pro- tected” side, and modern urban condi- tions have done away, more or less, with the need for special protection. 2. The rule of precedence when a' man and woman are together in public sim- ple. The man preceeds the woman wher- ever inconvenience, difficulty or danger may be supposed to exist: in passing through a dark and narrow alley in ‘town; or along a thorny or marshy path or'a’ broken stretch of road in the country: invforcing a way through a crowd. A man allows a woman to precede him when entering a doorway (he should "swing" a revaolving door for her)’ an elevator or a conveyance, He precedes her to aid her when they leave any vehicle. 3.} It is not impossiblcgthoughr in theory it seldom‘ happens——-that a lady may appear on the street with a parcel, pacrage, suitcase or bag.

A gentleman will never obtrude on a woman accquaintance or friend in the street; as, for instance, when she is walk- ing with another woman or man whom he does not know. " 7. Never stop a. lady point-blank in the street to talk. A side-approach, tip- ping the hat, speaking and continuing to walk with her is the tactful and more graceful way to maneuver .the open g of 'a street conversation. 8. Bow to or thank the person who holds open a door or performs some other courtesy for you. The man would of course tip his hat as well to the lady who so favored him. For the Movie F on The Volga Boetman.—It has been quite some time since I have seen a picture that I enjoyed as much as I did this one. The press agent of the picture calls it "The compelling story of the supreme love of a princess and a plebian boat- man in revolution-torn Russia, with a smashing climax", and I am willing to let his description stand without change. William Boyd, 8. young man who is headed for stardom, plays the part of the boat— man, while Elinor Fair is the princess. Several other well known actors are in the cast. The Runner’s Bible They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Ps. 34:10. State the truth that all things good is yours, deny the belief that anything can interfere with it and it Will become mani- fest in all your affairs. Our sufficiency is God. 2 Cor. 8:5. Except the Lord build the house, They labour in vain that build it: Except the Lord keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.

Come with your Neighbors. Ask your County ' Agent about the delegation from your (immunity. - 'fI Would like to "ask-.‘you how to raise sheep and on what kind of ground? ' The ground I have in mind is very poor gtéund and all it has on it ismarsh grass. and in early spring “it is quite Wet. Do sheep cost much to feed? Please tell me all about them and how to sheer and market them.—~—-Mrs. M. Paw Paw, Michigan. IT is impulsible to tell you all about the raising of sheep in any newspa er a r t 1 cl 9. - I wOuld advise t at you write the ~- United States Department of Agri- culture for the following Bulletins: FaMErs' Bulletin No. 1330, Farm- ers' Bulletin No. 576; Farmers’ Bul- letin No. '713, Farmers’ Bulletin No. .1134, Farmers’ Bulletin No. 840 and Farmers' Bulletin No. 798, which will give full information on the care and handling of sheep. The kind of ground does not make any material difference although sheep do best on well drained soil or what might be termed upland ground. Sheep do not do well on low marshy wet pasture and I would not advise you to engage in the sheep business if your pasture is covered entirely with marsh grass. If it can be drained sufliciently to allow J une grass to come in the sheep would no doubt do all right on this ground. The cost of maintaining a breed- ing ewe varies a great deal. Where one is running a general farm and can feed them quite largely upon cheap roughages such as, silage, bean pods or corn stalks with a min- imum allowance of good clover or alfalfa hay they may be wintered very cheaply. 0n the other hand, if one is compelled to buy hay on the market as the sole source of feedthe cost will be considerable. It“ requires four to five pounds of good hay per day for a sheep, whereas if other roughages are available such as those mentioned above, only one and one-half to two pounds of hay need be fed. It is not necessary to feed large amounts of grain. We usual- ly. plan on starting grain feeding about thirty days before the ewes are due to lamb, feeding each ewe about one—half pound per head per day. This amount is increased to around one pound per head daily after lambing and continued until the ewes go out on pasture. Shearing is usually done in April and May. Practically all shearing is done by professional shearers who go about the country shearing dur- ing those two months. The best method of marketing wool is through the cooperative wool pool as now managed by the Farm Bureau. The lambs can" be best marketed through a local coopera- tive shipping organization—Geo. A. Brown, Professor of Animal Hus- bandry, M. S. C. SUGGIETS RATION I am feeding one part wheat bran, two parts ground oats, 3%, cotton seed meal twice a day. Wild pasture, and get 9 pounds of milk from each cow per milking. I am now feeding as roughage sweet corn stalks and bean straw. Have no silage or hay. They are not coming up on milk. One cow when she came in was giv- ing 30 pounds of milk and has drop- ped to 9 pounds. Last summer she gave 25 pounds all summer without grain. What grain would you ad- vise with the roughage I mention ‘3— L. M. F., Cass City, Mich. OUR roughage is of a very poor sort to make milk; it really re- quires some legume such as clover or alfalfa to make a ration satisfactory for producing milk. It would seem that it would be profit- able for you to get either of those for your cows if possible. Why not add some“ corn to your ration; it would be preferable to barley; would suggest that it be ground; a good ration would be as folloWs, corn and cob meal 300 lbs.,‘ ground oats 200 lbs., wheat bran,~ 100 pounds, and cottonseed meal 100 lbs, then give each cow not less ‘ 6 or '1 pounds ofthis night monks: ‘ unsettle: ' ’ I a. ...._ 5 pounds of, the “cow is ‘ Dr. G.

VALUE OF WW8 TO NATION “ ETERINABIANS function as a factor of economy and safety to the nation in three distinct, though somewhat overlapping, di- rections”, says Dr. V. A. Moore, dean of the New York State Veterinary College at Ithaca. “Safeguarding public health is the first important field of the veterin- arian”, say Dr. More. “This work is accomplished by means of sani- tary regulations and dairy and meat inspection. Though their service is usually measured in dollars—the money value of the animals saved—— the service to the public is far more valuable. “Their second field is that of rend- ering a palliative and advisory serv- ice in the treatment of sick and in- jured animals and instructing their owners. Three-fourths of the work of the ordinary practitioner is that of treating the common diseases and injuries. These irregularities, if not properly cared for, would result in many deaths and an enormous eco- nomic loss. "Protecting the animals of the country from infections, epizootic, and parasitic diseases is the third function of the veterinarian,” Dr. Moore says. “Animal husbandry is the greatest industry in our agricult- ure and the saving every year by protecting our animals against epi- demics, particularly of foreign orig- in, is inestimable.” RATION FOR DAJRY BULL . DAIRY bull in full service should receive about the same ration as the cow in milk. His ration should contain an ample amount of , protein. When idle or in partial service, less concentrate will be needed. - ‘ Home Made 4 Horse Pulley Hitch OlmHI—AufiuslA—b mgoanqquopnompmmuuwuqhm MP""°H“JSIW'F““"G M’W‘W‘WFWWH . “q mpmmmppnpnimwmmmmwudpt‘wm 1mm“!ku “will”! mom-nu.

Should I haul my small grain to the elevator from the thresher or “combine,” or put it in my bins to await a rising market? Now is the time when those questions are beginning to bob up before the farmer to be debated by farm editors, farm bureau ofiicers and groups of farmers everywhere. . ‘i . -. ~02" tile-great eat ‘ ei's‘m‘, grain ._ ,‘ifritdry‘jis, to [hauls-Tram .ma- chiné‘tb elevator. This is especially truein recent years and with-inew; farmers getting started . who have neither facilities for ' storage Vnor- creditto permit them to hold off“ the market until the great bulk of the ' marketing of the Wheat crop has taken place and the prices begin to rise. Ohio University specialists have figured that the farmers who marketed over a period of several months ‘did better, some wheat be- ing marketed immediately after har- vest, and the bulk of it spread over winter and spring months when there was plenty of time for haul- ing available.

GOODIPOULTRY SHOW AT MATE FAIR ' - AFINE poultryshow was held in the poultry building at the Michigan State Fair this year, under the direction of Gerge A. Vad- ercook, of Jackson. A. J. Schimmel, of Pontiac, was superintendent of the exhibition classes and C. M. Ferguson, of the Michigan State College, was superintendent of the production classes, , In the exhibition classes G. H. Campbell of Ypsilanti, F. G. Shep- ard of Rochester, Charles Derr of Litchfleld, John H. Tomlinson of Dearborn, H. L. Keeler of Concord, Mich., Wilson Bros. of Springfield, 111., F. H. Ricketts of Coshocton, Ohio, and Charles McClane of New London, Ontario, Canada, were the ~winners. Sindy's Poultry Club, of Eaton Rapids, and Wayne Chipman, of Washington, Mich., divided honors in,the production classes of White Wyandotte_s. Prizes among Barred Rocks went to Leo V. Card, of Hills- (lale; D. W. Thrasher, of Drayton Plains; Jackson State Prison; F. J. Kueffner, of Saginaw; A. W. smith, of Pontiac; and George Cabal], of Hudsonville. Production class winners in the Rhode Island Red breed were Mrs. John Goodwine, of Mariette; John Davis and-Mrs. James Palmer, of Sandusky; and E. Sadler, of Pontiac. Sindy's Poultry Club, the Vassar Hatchery of Vassar, and Walnut Hill Farm, of Milford, took the White Rock honors. Buck and Gordon, Buck and Beardslee, and Buck and Earl, all of Pontiac, divided the Partridge Rock prizes. GET PULLETS’ WEIGHT UP TO AVOID SPARROW EGGS EE-WEE eggs are a source of an— P noyance to all poultrymen and an excessivenumber may cause some actual financial loss. Although pee-wee eggs cannot be avoided entirely, according to poultry specialists, their number may be con- siderably reduced by attempting to have the pullets of good size before they start to produce. The proper weight for a pullet to begin production cannot be definitely fixed, because it is bound to vary both with the strain and the breed of birds. With the White Leghorns, however, it is a good plan to have the pullets weigh at least 3 pounds if the strain tends to run light in body weight when mature, and 3% or 4 pounds if the heavier type of Leghorn is being bred. In most instances the best develop- ment will be obtained by allowing the growing stock to have free ac- cess to their growing mash until pro- duction has reached 20 per cent, N the Poultry Department of our August 28th issue we published a letter and picture from one of our subscribers, Ernest Belville, of Mesick, who had a flock of hens av- eraging 85 hens for seven months and they laid 10,054 eggs during that time. We asked any of our subscribers who could approach that record to write us and we have heard from readers located in three differ— ent parts of the state. John Parma, of Greenville, Mont- calm county, writes that last fall. they had about 100 old hens and pullets mixed. Some rocks, some Reds, and some Orpingtons—no pure breds, just a common farm flock. In November ,1925, they had 26 dozen. eggs, and in December 107 dozen or 1,284 eggs. During the first six months of 1926 they laid 10,412, In, August of this year they laid 119 dozen or 1,428 eggs. “I have just read the letter which you printed about Ernest Belvilie’s flock of hens, and am sending in our record," writes 'Freeman Dungey, of Hemlock, Saginaw county. “Wegnt 500. chicks the 20th of April, 1925, and raised-185, of which 235 are pullets.

CAPONS PLAY NURSE TO BROOD 0F CHICKS ESPITE the masculine appear- ance and development of capons. they make ideal foster mothers for chickens on the farm, according I to Mrs. Garnet B. Thacher, poultry- woman of Brooklyn, Mich., who has been very successful in rearing chickens under big capons. A flock of_ chickens is perfectly safe so long as it has the protection of a “motherly” capon, Mrs. Thach- er reports. She tells oi’ a battle between a capon and weasel on her farm. The weasel was getting the 'worst of the fight when Mrs. Thach- er’s son came to the recue. The capon was viciously striking the weasel as it attacked the chickens. Another capon is reported to have chased a. rootser from the chicken yard and to have pursued a hawk as it soared over the yard. FEATHER EATING Could you please give me a. rem- edy for feather eating? [ have a flock of chickens, mixel, some it which are almost bare from their mates pulling out their feathers-~— A Subscriber, Grosse Ile, Michigan. HERE is no definite prevention for feather eating but, when it is due to a faulty feeding which it often is, the use of meat scraps, bow-meal and milk in the feed will sometimes stop it. Turn the chick- ens out of doors at once and let tuem range during the daylight hours—Dr. Geo. H. Conn. NOT COMPLETE FEED I had a lot of baby chicks a. week old and their eyes were glued shut. They did seem to be very sore, I had to open them before they could see to eat. The corners of their mouth got sore. I fed chick feed and dry mash. The chicks did not act sick and their eyes were not swollen. Would be glad for any advice that you can give me.———-J. W. M., Tawas City, Michigan. EXT time you have this trouble N add 2 or 3 pounds of cod liver oil and 5 lbs. of bonemeal to each 100 lbs. of mash; give them sour milk to drink. Keep them in the sunlight as much as possible and let them have green feed to eat. They were not getting a complete teed—Dr. G. H. Conn.

Picture if you? have one ' ‘_n_-_.__.-_— N the. morning of May”, after a heavy killing frest the night ' before, I"was about half afraid to visit Erhardt Bros. (the owners "of about the prettiest twenty acres of market g rden I have ever seen) for fear m reception would be as cool as the morning had been. In spite of the fact that the frost had “cooked” 6000 tomato plants and half an acre of beans, besides doing other damage, I found three of the brothers in the spinach section of their garden talking and joking with one another as though the night before had been one of the finest nights for vegetables we have had this spring. “But why worry’firemarked one of the brothers, “all our competitors in the Pittsburgh district are in the same 11! and if our truck is late theirs will be, too.” Always Looked Just Right For eighteen years I have passed Erhardt's place near Wilkinsburg in Pennsylvania two or three times a year, first as a wife hunter and after I had captured the wife, and always it looked the same. Al- ways free of weeds, every row as straight as if it had been laid out by a surveyor, and every crop with a thrifty look. Around the house is a large yard that looks as though it belonged to some well-to-do retired man who had nothing to do but tend it. Thirty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Erhardt moved to this steep seven- ty-eight acre farm, with their four boys and two girls to take up mar- ket gardening. Since Mr. Erhardt died a few years ago, the farm has been carried on by the children and their mother. Mother Erhardt, in spite of the fact that she is past seventy, was helping to prepare rad- ishes for market the morning I vis- r4, I want to thank you for yaur kind— ness and prompt service you have rendered me. I wrote you about my flock of chickens dying and your veterinary editor, Dr. Conn, sent me a prescription which I had filled and fed it in a mash to my hens and saved nearly the balance of my flock. Thank Dr.‘ Conn also. We have taken your valuable magazine for fifteen years and all enjoy it. Thanking you again, I am.—Mrs. John Goodfellow, Genesee County. ited them. “Not because I have to, but because I like to," she told me. During this time they have wit- nessed a good many changes. They have always hauled as much manure as they could get from the city. At first they were paid for hauling it away. Then as the first autos came they got it free for hauling. Now they have paid as high as five dol- lars a load for it when they can get it. At first they had a rough dirt road for about three miles until they hit the city limits of Wilkiusburg. Two loads a day to market would make a long day. Now one of the finest roads in Allegheny County passes their house and a truck to haul the produce has 'speeded up that part of the work. Regardless of these changes the Erhardts have always stuck to one policy, viz., that of "honest" veget- ables. All their produce is whole- saled to grocers and produce retail- ers. duce knows that the stuff in the bot- tom of a basket or crate is just as good as it is on top. This policy has built up such a reputation for them that they are still selling to some of. the dealers they sold to thirty years ago. I will venture to say that this quality has helpnd these same dealers in turn to keep certain housewives for customers these thirty years. Demand for their produce is so great they do not have a phone in their house, but instead often have to figure how much they can let each man have instead of having a surplus to wonder what to do with. Thirty years' experience has shown them that they h vs to make a study of their farm or the vari- ous crops. For instance, one of the boys pointed down the hill to a plot and said: “We might as well not plant anything there as to try as~ paragus on it’ and expect to get any returns. . while on other parts’jef the Ha mm warms ids“. #39:. ' I ‘ A grocer who buys their pro» C 5" I .. ,3; HUGE. " show you the same thing in regard to our other crops." ' Since manure can be secured in. such minor quantities, they are us- ing commercial fertilizer. This year they use a 4-8-4 mixture on most of their crops. On asparagus they use nitrate of soda. They haul- ed so much manure in the earlier years on the farm that they have not yet had to resort to cover crops to keep up the humus content of the soil. Intensifled Methods With the city limits coming closer to their farm each year, naturally the land and taxes are getting high] er so it behooves them to intensify their methods as much as possible for the greatest returns. One com- bination is two rows of onions with lettuce between. Another one is early potatoes; after the last hilling pickles are plants din every other row. The potatoes shade the pickles until they get a good start. This means the potatoes have to be dug with shock, but the digging is as good as a cultivation for the pickles. All crops are gotten in early so that most of the farm, except that part in perennial crops, like asparagus and rhubarb, grows two and some- times three crops in one year. I knew they had city water in their house so asked: “Have you ever tried the overhead watering system for forcing lettuce and kin- dred crops?" “One of the brothers laughed and said: “The pressure is so low and the supply so poor that it took me half an hour to get enough for a bath last night." I noticed a few hives of bees and asked about them. “We keep them partly as a hobby and partly to be sure that flowering crops, like cu- cumbers, are cross-pollinated.” As I left this fine place I thought to myself what a fine chance there would be for someone to set up a roadside vegetable stand near here, buying these people's vegetables and selling. them, for the view of the farm as one passes it on Frankstown Road would be the best kind of an advertisement for them. THE LAY OF THE HEN (Apologies to Walt Mason) HE barnyard hen's a good old bird. She supplements the dairy herd, and makes the farmers’ wife more mon’ than hubby makes from sun to sun. Where'er this queen of birds is found, delights of rural life abound and farmer folk in touring car, bring chicks and eggs from near and far. In Michigan Miss Biddy thrives; she works each day till dusk arrives. She disre— gards all labor law, and pecks away to fill her craw; she lays an egg in tufted nest, then cackling flies to work with zest. She thus a good ex- ample sets to folk who labor with re- grets. Her eggs and chicks are sold for pelf to buy some chow for pantry shelf. No better food has e’er been tried than eggs on toast or chicken fried. "Tis said a chicken dressed just right, imbues e’en preachers with delight. So here's to Biddy, barnyard hen, the greatest bird God gave to men.—-—T. M. Jeffords. BOOKLET ON WHAT EDITORS .

Whole Grain Cheat You HOLE GRAIN is bulky and it fills the animal’s stomach, but it cheats you by satisfying the hunger ‘ through this bulk rather than through complete nour- . ishment. ' l 1 Tests have been conducted by Government stations in ' past years,with healthy, full-toothed animals, to determine i the seriousness of these feeding losses. The tests show an average loss of from 12 to 26 per cent. In other words, out of every 100 bushels of whole corn fed, 26 bushels l yield practically no nourishment while passing through the digestive tract. The unground oat diet showed a similar loss of 12 bushels out of every 100. Such feeding losses can easily spell the difference be‘ 3 tween possible loss and a handsome profit.

LL past records of manufactur- ing and general business activity have been exceeded in recent weeks, and the railroads have been carrying more freight than ever be.- fore, including grains and other farm products. The internal trade of the country has surpassed the most san- guine expectations, prosperity being wide-spread, and labor is well em- ployed at the highest wages ever paid, the natural result being. in- creased buying of all sorts of mer- .L ‘ chandise at a high level of prices. An enormous amount of building is going on in the cities of the United States, and within a short time the steel mills have exceeded all produc- tions in times of peace. It may be' added that there is no boom in trade, although the easy money market has greatly stimulated speculation in stocks and bonds. The banks of the country are generally in sound con- dition and are making loans at rather low rates of interest, this be— ing true of the federal loan banks engaged in negotiating loans on farms. The foreign commerce of the county is on a less satisfactory basis, and of late'the balance of trade has been against us. The grain markets are unsettled, as is usual at this season of the year, while the live stock markets have played some wild pranks, including a remarkable advance in prime beef cattle. 0n the other hand, prices for hogs have been smashed, and some reductions were made in lamb prices owing to large receipts. In— diana farmers are afraid of early frosts and preparing to feed soft corn in nearly all parts of the state, rains continuing to flood the fields and keep the corn green. In some low areas the corn is reported to be ruined. The Wheat Market Late reports made by the Depart— ment of Agriculture go to show that there will be plenty of wheat for home consumption and export. It appears that the total wheat supply of the United States and Canada this crop year is expected to aggregate 1,234,000,000 bushels. including the carry-over of the two countries, which compared with 1, 184,000,000 bushels for last year, with an export- able surplus of about 500,000,000 bushels. Conditions are a little bull— ish on the whole, with good exports in recent weeks, and prices are high- er than two years ago, but still away ~lower than at this time in 1925. Winter wheat has been sent to mar- v ket freely most of the time, but the ’ movement of spring wheat has been ,cut down by the rainy weather on , both Iides of the international bound- line. our exports 817 Meanwhile . have much exceeded those of a year ago. Our visible wheat supply made a gain in a single week of 3,422,000 bushels, reaching a total of 67,-512,- 000 bushels, and comparing with 37.- 728,000 bushels a year ago. A short 1 time ago the agricultural department said that with average yields the United States will remain on a world 2 market basis in 1927 if farmers carry out their indicated intention of in- creasing the acreage of winter wheat by 14 per cent. It added that there was little indication of any material expansion of acreage outside of the United States. Late sales Were made of wheat for September delivery at $1.37, comparing with $1.52 a year ago. (‘orn Crop Talk Rains and warm weather helped growth in August, and good progress days in early September hindered growth. The season is two to three Weeks later than usual, and much damage ' he the crop at 2,698,000,000 bushels, showing a decrease of 207,000,000 bushels from the big crop of 1925 and a less of 151,000,000 bushels from the five year average. How- ever, unusually large stocks of‘old corn will remain in farming districts to be carried over to the new crops. Should there be much unmerchant- able corn this year stock feeding would be stimulated. Prices of can remain much lower than in recent years, and a little more than two yearsago corn for September deliv- ery sold for $1.23. The visible sup- ply in this country is up to 18,256,- 000 bushels, comparing with 6,390,— 000 bushels a year ago. The barley crop is reported as 23,000,000 bush- els less than last year, and the oats crop is the smallest in years. - Rainy weather has greatly injured oats in shock, and there was a large ad~ vance in N0. 2 white oats. Late sales were made of September cats at 40 cents, comparing with 39 cents a down to 88.35 to $9.40 for the poorer light Weights, and no good steers going bolowr $10.25. Butcher cows and heifers sold at $4.50 to $11.50, while canners and cutters brought $3.50 to $4.45. The week's receipts were thevlargest by far in a long per- iod, and it was wonderful that prices held up so well. One year ago beef steers sold at $6.75 to $16.36; two years ago at $6.20 to $11.40 and fourteen years ago at $4.65 to $8.35. A good business was transacted in stockers and feeders at $6.50 to $9.15, mainly at $7.25 to $8.25, while stocker and feeder cows and heifers sold well at $4 to $6.60. Light and Heavy Hogs For many months stoclrmen have been holding their hogs much longer than in former years because feeding was abundant‘and cheap, while hogs Were in much smaller supply in feed- ing districts than in recent years tnd brought far higher prices.

Long fed steers have shared in the upward movement, and the glut of heavy steers has subsided recently. Much of the time lately lessened numbers of steers were mar— keted, and the increase in cattle re— ceipts was made up of grass cows, heifers and western steers. The marked change in the market for beef cattle has been the cause of a good increase in the country demand for stockers and feeders, and they have shown substantial advances in prices. Prime yearling steers sold up to $12, the highest prices paid since January, and the best heavy steers brought $11.75, a new high however, there has been a decrease in the average weight of, the hogs offered on the Chicago stock yards, and light hogs soldat lower prices, while lots averaging 225 pounds and ‘ over sold sharply higher, reversing the previous practice when light hogs brought a good premium. The spread in price has been enormous, and not long ago in a single day a packer bought 1060 head of 200- pound hogs at an average cost of $14.10 and a drove of 650 hogs at that averaged 325 pound hogs at $10.50. On that day the extreme range of prices was over $5. It is interesting to learn that W. E. Car— roll of the UniVersity of Illinois has discovered that during 45 to . 60 months in the last five years light hogs sold at higher prices than heavy hogs. For the year to late date the marketing of hogs in seven western packing points aggregated 16,028,- 000 head, comparing with 18,471,000 a year ago and 22,279,000 two years ago. The spread in prices has nar- rowed greatly, recent receipts aver- aging 267 pounds, the lightest since - THE.

(3., Sept 16.-—Most . farm products have Jean at least holding their own in the ,market lately. The middle of September found grain, hay, feeds, potatoes, dairy and poultry products selling as high, some a little higher than for the week or two weeks preceding. Livestock was inclined to advance. is buying farm produce actively and the situation might be worse. Wheat - ’ Winter wheat tended higher the middle of the month although spring wheat seemed inclined to go down. Good demand for export helped the situation, but on the other hand the heavy Canadian production now esti- mated only 3 per cent below last season's crop is beginning to over- ‘ hang the general market although its movement has been delayed by wet weather.\ With Europe 9 per cent under last year’s crop and Germany especially short the demand should be active encugh to take care of a fairly good World production. Corn Corn promises fairly well although 151 million bushels under the nve—' year average, but the lateness of the season threatens frost ramage during the next two weeks. Holders of corn seem confident and prices advance easily, rising sharply at St. Louis under moderate demand. Oats and barley have shared a little of the occasional strength of the grain mar- ket, helped by some decrease in the estimated crop. Other grains and flax held firm. Butter The butter situation is good. -It is not improving much lately be- cause the freshened fall pastures have kept the butter output from decreasing as fast as it did last Sep- tember. Considerable stock is com- ing out of storage. Prices haveJJeld about the same since the slight rise Cheese is in much the same position as butter. Production is decreasing slowly and there is no great change in price. Essa Egg prices hays been creeping up- ward slowly throughout the past seven weeks. Hens are laying less vigorously, demand is good and there is not so much trouble from heat damage. Storage eggs are coming out and the whole situation looks better. Poultry holds its price fairly well and considerable dressed stock is going into storage. Potatoes Potato shipments (have been in- creasing in September and equaled the great activity of a year ago, stim- ulated by a fairly high level of prices. September crop reports show gains of abOut 6 million bushels in the esti-. mated production which is still, how- ever, far below average. " BEANS Before our last issue reached you the price of beans at Detroit had de— clined to $4.00 per hundredweight, and it remainedat this figure for caused buyers to become uneasy be- cause it was delaying harvest and they advanced the price some.
