(Concluded from June 18th issue.)

“WELL. there was O'Rouke, Fisher
Hansen—"
1 said Shel-ii! ‘

- "Which Hansen?"
Thomas.

“on, Jake, the old fellow who lives up
north of here. You ought to remember
him: you tried to find a stolen car for
him once."

The sheriff was inclined to think’lho :

was being kidded at this point, but Mike
began to laugh. -

“Say, that car wasn’t stolen. Hansen
was out that night bringing in some hogs
——think he got them from old man Car-
ney. Anyhow, he had given them the
usual shot of other. and the other fellow
and Hansen had loaded them into the
car and was driving back to the place
when they passed some fellows on the
road. Hansen was a. bit suspicious, and
these fellows saw a. hog, and a little later
when someone bumped him on the shoul-
der he was so scared he drove the car
into the ditch. It turned out that the car
was smashed up, and the reason Hansen
got scared was that one of the hogs start-
ed to come to and raised up, and hit Han-
sen. Say. when Hansen came to the
house that night he was sure scared.
We got the hogs out all right. but the
car was a wreck and we .had to leave it.
Thought that if it was reported stolen
that might divert any suspicion. partic-
ularly if there .were ‘folks suspicious?

Well, we had a good laugh over that.

“Anyhow,” remarked the editor. “the
shot-ii! found the car.”

That remark almost reopened the war-
fare between the two, but the attorney
quieted them and put more questions to
Mike.

"Where's Hansen now?"

“How should I know?" Hike replied.
"You should hove got him last night. He
was a lucky still to get away."

“What do you mean." Jim says; "was
he there. too!”

“No. he was the guy that-drove the car
you thought you was following. He must
have turned a couple of corners to fool
you. Probably thought when no one tol-
lowed him that ho was 0. K. 8:1. You
never will get Hansen. hefs a lucky stiff.
The night we opened the» jail. he made
the best get-away I ever saw ”

“You mean you are the follow that hit
the jailer?” the sheriff broke in.

“New, Hansen did that. He was wise.
and if you had been there you wouldn't
have suspected his being around, as he
would have asked about the car. He was
going to take the boys away, but his car
stuck and he brought them out a ways
and loaded them into my car. Say, old
Sherlock," meaning Jim Barton. "almost
got me with them tellers in the car when
he and the kid stopped me."

It was Jim's turn to turn red and look
uncomfortable. The sheriff got a laugh
out of it, so it wasn't a total loss.

Well, the attorney was about thru
questioning Mike, and Jim was getting
ready to go home, when I suggested
to him that maybe Mike knew something
about the fracas at Frost’s.

“You know I found ether in a. can there
that night."

So the attorney says to Mike. “What
about this Frost deal?"

"Maybe you'd better ask Hansen about
it. He knows more than I do; it was his
idea. He always was full of nutty ideas.
He had been using that place for a pri-
vate warehouse to stare some of the junk
he got on the side. When Frost moved
in Hansen didn't have a chance to move
his stuff out of th pit under the barn.
So he decided to t a little of the ghost
stud and thought he might be able to
scare the Froots' out long enough to
clean out.

 

When it didn’t work, he was planning

big stilt forgot.”

Thomas. the sharia, didn’t take to that
statement, as he immediately told Mike
no iailbird was going to call him names.

"Well; calm yourself." Hike says. “At
least the kid did something to get us
hooked. um." he says to me. “I was
afraid you were wiser than I know, ’cause

you acted so peculiar the day you was

over to the farm looking at the car. I
didn’t want you hanging around the place
just then. with them other guys in the
barn. I figured if: you devoted your at-
tention to the Dike place, no one was
going to get hurt.” "

80 things seemed to be cleared up, and
Thomas, with a lot of authority put Mike
back in‘ his cell. The attorney says to
me that I was pretty smart to figure it
out. altho I hated to admit it was all an
accident. But Jim heard him praising me,
and I guess Jim was sure I had really
done something. 1

The next few days, Thomas and the
rest of the assistants made a big search
for Hansen. but they didn't find him.
Things quieted down a bit. and as far as
the stealing was concerned, it stopped
right then when we hauled thee? crooks
into town. When the trial came 01!. there
sure was some excitement. and the News
sure gave us plan of nice writs—ups.

'r is the matterWith the hog - '
_ market? That question has

. been asked and thoughtlabout
for several months and it only takes
a .glanCe into the statistical depart-
ment to see"where the trouble lies.
Since the first of year the hog
has steadily declined from his exalt-
ed position as a “mortgage litter”
and during the last month or two he
has not been able to pay his board
bill but rather has lost money when
considering the price of corn at pres-
ent.

At Chicago, the basic market, hogs
have been selling from $5.00 to
$5.50 below a year ago and around

’ $1.50 below the average market for

this season of the year since 1920.
Starting in with February when top
hogs sold up to $12.75 at Chicago
and packing sows brought $10.80 to
markets 'declined steadily
month by month until at the middle
of "June a. drop of $3.75 was evident.

While there has been a rather
liberal marketward movement of
begs to the various markets recently
due to high priced corn which has
tended to dislodge many light weight
lhogs, receipts have not been heavy.
In fact thay have been light so far
this year. The hog population of the
country is said to be around 75 per
cent of the population in 1920. For

, N the history of our own land‘we
count with years and decades, so
imagine if you can a land where

age is measured in centuries! .Then,

keeping in mind that we are yet
only a few hundred miles south-west
of the new land we “call the United

States of America, go with me today

to visit the pyramids in the valley

of Mexico. For in the short ride of

.less than twenty—five miles across

“the dusty bed of what was, before

the drainage canals were ,dug, Lake
Tuxcoco, we» came upon the pyramids
of Tenochtitlan, ;built, it we can
trust the historians, in the seventh
century! / ‘ 1

Seven hundred years before Col—
umbus hoisted sail in far-away Spain
and'set out to find a new route to
India, these pyramids were being
built by a race of whom no trace re-
mains today, except as their history
is written in the stone images which
are being unearthed from these
.huge mounds.

There are three sections in Mexi—
co where similar pyramids and tem-
ples, built by the Toltecs, are to be
found today, the largest of which at
Cholula, hasia height of over 200
feet and measures at the base 1,440
feet! Greater than Cheops, largest
of the three most famous Egyptian
pyramids, and to which thousands
of Americans journey each year. ,

But we are climbing into the tiny
little mule—cars which take us up to
the “Pyramid of the Sun,” which
towers like-“a mighty sentinel of the
plains, into the ephemeral blue of a

Mexican day. As the car jogs along _;

rover “the bumpy track, who can be

the first five and one-half months of
the year hog receipts at twenty of
the" large markets amounted. to ap—
proximately 14,981,000 head or
around 270,000 more than arrived
during the same period in 1926. This
increase is small and when compared
with the average receipts for the

corresponding period over the past

five years, the movement this year
is 3,093,000 lighter. Still prices
have declined at all markets until
the situation is serious not only to
the producer but apparently to the
packer as well. Packers are not con-

are devising ways and means of re-

The discouraging export trade and
steady accumulation of products
piling up in the packers’ cellars have
been pointed out by market diagnos-
ticians as the principle trouble with
hog markets, Other factors which
have aflected the pork trade and in—
cidentally had a bearing on the live
market are unsettled conditions in
the south and inability of our domes-

been required to build these gigantic
piles of earth and volcanic rock.

As we approach the Sun pryamid
we find that it is covered with large
stones, most of which must have
been drawn by hand and lifted to
their places only after miles of
travel. How many men and what
means ofmechanics had been em-
ployed to lift them to the height at
which they now repose, can only be
a matter of conjecture, because the
truth is forever buried in the mys-
tery of this ancient shrine.

On" the top of the pyramid, it is
said, once stood a gigantic stone
image, the back of which contained
a large mirror of pure gold, that
reflected back into the temple court
the first rays of the morning sun.
This reflected light in the open court
the natives took to be an expression
of the power of the diety to whom
they knelt in silent supplication. It
is also said, that when the Spaniard,
Cortez, toppled this huge idol from
the top of the pyramid and sent it
rolling down into the city, the na—
ives bowed in humble submission to
this “white god” who had come out.
of the east, from whence the sun
itself came, who had thus proven
himself unafraid‘of the god they
worshipped.

Facing this great “Pyramid of the
Sun” and perhaps a quarter of a
mile away, stands the “Pyramid of
the “Moon-y” similar in construction

-' but much smaller and as yet un—

covered, because it is only in very
recent years that the Mexican gov-

centuriesL/ernment, in cooperationwith several
American antiquarian societies, has,

been able; to; remove the accumulated
earth, and Vegetation of centuries
which hid the actual construction of

mand has shown some improvementl
recently but thus far this year there '3
is approximately a 25 percent tie-7
crease in the movement of hams and:
shoulders, bacon and lard. Accumu— '
lations of pork provisions at seven»
of the large pork packing centers
show an increase in stocks of over.
25 percent compared with stocks in
storage at this time last year. Whole-
sale prices of fresh and cured pork
are from 9 to 12c below a year ago.
With all-of these adverse influences,
hogs have been unable to withstand:
the dOanard current in prices tie-
spite light receipts. The Institute
of American Meat Packers have re-
cently launched forth a two month.
nation wide campaign of extensive
advertising whereby they hope to
stimulate the consumption of hams
and bacon to the extent that they
will be able to move the surplus on
hand. Since the packer plays a vital
part in the livestock industry, it is ”
important that he is able to get rid
of his product and continue to buy
fresh supplies of live stock at prices
which are satisfactory to the pro-4
ducer. Let us hope that the packer
is successful in aiding the dressed:
trade and that the improvement
which he gets in prices for hams and
bacon will be reflected upon live hog
prices.

CAN YOU BEAT THIS?

EAR EDITOR: I was reading
in my M. B. F. about the big
yields. I would like to tell any
,brother farmers about my oats. I
- thrashed 1,936 bushel from eighteen
‘ making 107% bushels to the
. That may sound almost im‘-
possible but my neighbors measured
the ground before they would be-
lieve it. They stated it was the
heaviest piece of oats they ever saw.
. I do not have much time to read
but I always read the M. B. F. and
get a. lot of good information out of
it. I remain a booster for your lit.

County.

7"to retain the leaves when harvested
{in this way. .

. ‘July 15th is rather late to sow
i'soybeans for hay crop. Soybeans
i- usually cease their growth when
cool weather comes on and it is not
likely that very good results will be
,l'secured when they are sown as late
\as you mention.

 As a crop to supply organic ma—
f'terial to be plowed under, I believe
you will secure better results by
ivsowing rye or rye and vetch, if the
{crop is to be sown after the middle

; CITIZENSHIP

I would like your opinion as to
«r‘whether I am an American citizen.
.;.I have been told that I am not. I

Tend have never been fifty miles from
{my birthplace. In 1908 I married
~a man who was brought here from
ntario, Canada, at the age of 6
years and who, supposing his father
Teompleted his naturalization, has al-
;ways exercised the rights of a citi-
j,zen. Recently it was discovered that
"only first papers are recorded,
hough the father proved up on
who-mestead land in this county.
Could he have proved up without
'complete papers? Because of the

 N September 22, 1922, the natural—
.1 ization laws were changed. If a
woman citizen of the United
States married an alien before this
time, she lost her citizenship, it be-
‘zscoming the same as that of her hus—

MUST BE GET COMMERCIAL
LICENSE?

I have a gasoline filling station
with a small grocery store in con-
nection. Is it necessary for me to
buy commercial license plates if I
bring home packages in my touring
car for the store from the freight
depot? The license clerk says we
don't have to and the police say we
do, so we would like to know for

sures—F. E. R., Newberry, Mich.

HE Motor Vehicle Law defines a
commercial car as follows: “The
term ‘commercial vehicle’ ~as

used in this act, shall mean and in-
clude all motor vehicles used for the
transportation of passengers for
hire, and those constructed or used
for transportation of goods, wares
or merchandise." -

If you haul freight, it would seem
from the above definition that com-
mercial plates should be procured.

It is impossible, however, for this
Department to state just exactly
when it is necessary to "purchase

commercial plates for a. car used in
this Way. ‘.

We do not believe that if you oc-
casidnally bring a box from the de—
pot in your touring (far, that it would

-be necessary‘to procure the commer-

cial plates,’ but We recommend that
you consult with your local author-
ities and comply with the'spirit of
the law.-—John S. Haggerty, Secre-
tary of State.

PUT THE LAW ONTO ’EM!
EAR EDITOR: Read so much in
regard to chicken thief business
looks as if the nice new set of
laws is going to be a great help to
put down the business. Guess it
will take more than a set of laws to
down it or any other stock stealing

business. Why don’t they get a set
of officers that mean business. Give
life sentence and hard labor. .Just

ty, Mich.

’ LISTING PROPERTY
EAR EDITOR: Here is a point
that I think would be well- to
put before all people who are
listing their farms or property with
real estate agents. Never give them
any kind of a listing of property but
an open listing. They like to tie up

your views and send Mom

as many pieces of property as pos-
sible and all they care about is their

right. The more property they can
tie up the more control they have
over real estate. It does not give
the person who wishes to sell much
show. The farmers especially should
be warned against listing their
farms in this way. {There ought to
be a law passed that real estate
dealers could not take anything but
open listing of property and a law
passed that only a certain per cent

SUGGESTION TO FARMERS
EAR EDITOR: Inwish‘ to bring
the attention of my brother
. farmers in an effective manner,
if I may, the desirability and some
of the advantages of organization of
farmers. While a very large por-
tion of the wealth producers are
farmers the influence of the farmer
class on legislation and those mat-
ters, which affect the best interests
of the nation is not What it should
be and this should not remain‘ thus.
If this be true a remedy should be

 

sought for and is found in the
Grange and the Farmers’ Club
which organizations are doing a.

much needed and helpful work.

. Nearly forty years ago was organ-
ized the Essex Farmers’ Club in the
constitution of which it is stated
that the organization is for mental,
rural, social, and financial benefits
and these objects have been kept in
View at its meetings. '

And now, brother farmers, and
their wives, who are not connected
with one of these helpful organiza-
tions, let me advise that you unite
and receive its benefits of which
you have hitherto deprived yourself.
If there is not such an organization
in your neighborhood have one or-
ganized from which its members may
receive much real good.

When farmers are fully organized,
then and only then, can they ask ef-
fectively that their interests ‘be con-
sidered with that consideration
which they justly demand—J. T.
Daniells, Clinton County.

THE THJEF MUSE GO!

HE thief who preys on farms of. the readers

of THE BUSINESS FARMEB must go! Last
September we put a price on the head of

the chicken thief and so far have been instru-
mental'in having several of them sent to prison
for terms of from one to several years. Now we
have posted $500 to fight the thief who steals
livestock, grains, farm implements or produce
from the farms of our readers. ’

It is the chicken thief ‘who steals most from
farmers and for that reason we posted $1,000
which we are paying out in rewards of $50 each
but there seems to be certain types of humanity
that are interested in taking livestock, produce
and other things about the farm aside from
poultry, especially since we have been conduct-
ing our campaign to eradicate the chicken thief,
so we thought it best to enlarge the service we
were already giving to our paid-up subscribers
and have now posted this additional $600 which
is to be paid out in rewards of $25 each, under
rules similar to those governing the poultry thief
rewards. However, the loss must amount to at
least $10;

Our slogan is “The Farm Paper of Serflce"
and we are doing everything that we can to live
up to it. We are trying to make M. B. F. a real
institution of service, not just pieces of paper
with printing on them, and the way the farm folk
of Michigan respond indicates that we are suc-
ceeding. We are very happy to announce this
latest service for “our folks" and with your help
we are going to make Michigan farms a mighty
unhealthy place for thieves to operate.

CORN BORER CAMPAIGN

ECENTLY we received a letter from a sub-
scriber who seemed to be somewhat op-
posed to the European Corn Borer eradi-
cation campaign. He asked why it was necessary
for the government to spend so much money for
trucks, tractors, automobiles and other machin-
ery to fight it with when every farming commun-
ity had enough to do the job. He also said many
farmers thought the implement manufacturers,
assisted by the county agents, were to blame,
and suggested that we would be doing a real‘
service if we would tell the truth about it all.
Perhaps the government has made some unis-
takes in connection with this campaign. Yes, we
feel quite sure several mistakes have been made.
It would be impossible to have it perfect, but
some of these mistakes would have beenavoided
if our congress and the various state legislatures
had not delayed making the necessary appropri-
ations until almost the last hour of the last day.
Their slowness to act made it, necessary for the
oificials to put forth usual eflortto partly make
up for this delay and considering the shortness
of time in which they had to‘act we think they

have done extremely well. -
It was necessary to have the machinery to fight _
the borer and it was necessary to have itjwhen
theyneededit. Itlstruethat
moot farming sections have considerable of the

  

' m   '
’ that‘itv would“,eonilict« Mth.,'YOur

 



     

    

ans? “

the tools needed for the growing and harvesting
of corn! ‘ I

And why should the county agent be blamed!
But‘ don't worry about him. The'poor cuss gets
less credit and more blame than almost any man
living, yet he carries on. doing good for all he
can, so if any of his farmers feel like hopping
onto him for being in cohort with the corn borer
we suppose they pan goto it without hurting his
feelings much. _ f ‘ V

The truth of the whole thing is that the Euro—
pean Corn Borer got over here without our per-
mission and we must appreciate the bigness of

_ this fight and give it our support or he is going .

to eliminate not only corn but other crops mm
our agricultural program. . j

 

.BWAY OF INDEPENDENCE

ULY 4th marks another birthday of the De-
] ' claration of Independence and it is not out of
order that we should think of the independ-
ence that we‘ fought for and won and today
wonder just how much of it we have left. In
everything but business we have it just about
the same as always. The laborer, the manufac-
turer, the storekeeper, the banker, the railroad
manager, all find their business pretty well con-
trolled by this or that. Labor unions, the public
and the federal government have much to say
about them, how they shall serve and what they
shall receive for serving. But the farmer stands
alone. He still has much of that old independ-
ence. No one tells him when he shall work and
when not, what or what not he shall produce, or
where he shall go to dispose of what he produces.
It is his right to answer those questions. Some
believe it would be better if he was controlled.
Maybe he would make more money; maybe not.
But we doubt if control would meet with univer—
sal approval among farm folks. It might in time

but it would require several generations

change them. r

LEAVING THE FAM

URING 1926 over two million people living

on farms in the United States moved to the

city while over a million city persons, during
the same period, decided that rural life was-the
most attractive. This left 27,892,000 on the
farm, or $49,000 less than the year before, the
largest decline in a like period for the last six
years. As long as we raise a surplus of food and
other industries pay better than farming the city-
ward movement will continue.

 

N0 CORN BOREB. QUABANTINE
COMMITTEE met on June let and 22nd to
consider the advisability of establishing a
quarantine against Ohio corn coming into

Michigan because of many areas in that state be-
ing exempted from the clean-up this spring and
after considering the facts laid before them, they
decided to leave the matter stand as it is‘ "for
the present. We are sorry that they failed to
esablish thu quarantine. Perhaps there will be
no great harm done but such action would cer-
tainly encourage farmers to cooperate in the erad-
ication campaign. Many are liable to take the
viewpoint that if they are not to get preference
over those who failed to live up to the program
laid out why should they cooperate with officials?

 

RADIO POPULAR WITH FARMERS
ICEIGAN has 43,658 radio receiving sets on
its farms, according to figures compiled by
, the U. 8. Depariznent of Agriculture, plac-
ing eleventh among all state. Iowa leads with
99,000‘ sets and the number on farms, in the

entire country is placed at 1,251,000. I

It Is in the farm home that the radio is prov-
ing its, true worth. People in the city consider

it a means‘ot entertainment, as a rule, but farm— ,

er: and their families use it to assistfthem' in
their business by "stoning to Normative talks

and ambition that through the co-
operation of more than 80,000 read-

that weean ma‘ke‘farm communities
inthe State of Michigan as free from
larceny and allied \crimes as are the
homes of the best policed .towns and

to our readers and been disappointed.

'Your response was wonderful in the ‘

now once more we ask you to co-
operate with us in our increasing
efl’orts to stop stealing in the rural
communities of Michigan.

scribers will be greatly appreciated.
We are sure if we get behind this
thing over 80,000 strong that the
major part of the stealing from
farmers can and will be stopped.

 

CARD GILDING GAME

0 doubt most of the women who

read this page have been tempt—

ed at sometime or' another to
answer an advertisement regarding
the gilding of greeting cards think-
ing they could do this work during
their spare time and make some pin
money.

At one time there were twenty-one
companies in New York City in this
same line of business, and there
were others all over the United
States ofiering work of this kind.
That information alone should be
enough to cause one to be suspicious
of the whole scheme because there
certame is a limited market for
greeting cards made in this way as
most people are satisfied with the
kind that are turned out by print—
ers who, make a Specialty ‘of the

work and can do them at a much :

lower price.

An investigation of any one of
these companies ‘Would reveal that
they were requiring the applicant
to send in a. dollar or so for an out—
fit which consisted of a cheap letter—
ing brush, a few cards, and a sheet
of printed instructions. Even
though they do assure the applicant
that it does not require great talent
there is no question but what one
does need considerable skill to do
the work neatly and accurately. In
four out of five cases the applicants
are not able to do satisfactory work.
We are informed that one company
'in business for only six months re—
ceived $50,000 for outfits, refunded
$7,000, paid expenses of $5,000,and
enjoyed a clear profit of $38,000.00
for six months’ work.

When it comes to'bringing in the
cash this is' certainly a better game
than farming but the big advantage
of‘farming over this is that farming
is an honest occupation.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is to certify that we have had our cars
and trucks insured in the Citizens’ Mutual Auto-
mobile Insurance Company of Howell, Michigan,
for many years. One year some years ago, we
took our insurance out with a big Eastern com-
pany, but we found when it came time to get ad—
justments and settlements, that there was no one
close by that had full and definite authority to
make settlements.
Citizens’ mutual had a good representative near

whenever necessary, we have been
up the officers of the company over

the ’phone and if necessary, we could go to the

within two hours, and I therefore

feel that‘ we are in better shape to get satisfac—
tory results. 7‘

We have watched the growth of the company,
and the business and assets have increased each
year, so we feel satisfied in leaving our busi-
ness with that company.

The company is rep-
nearly every part of the state, and
representative to assist on adjust—

ments, and. any car or truck owner is therefore

differences,

 TRY THIS FOR POISON-IVY
 ANY people, as well as farmers,
’ who love the out-of-doors, be-
come poisoned by contact with
pOison-ivy and sometimes suffer in-
tensely for long periods. A most
’simple, effective, non-injurious and
inexpensive remedy is the applica-
tion of sour buttermilk to affected
parts. Allow it to dry upon the sur-
face of the skin and apply frequently
until the eruption disappears.

My son became became poisoned
a few years ago and the weather be-
ing hot caused it to spread over the
entire body through the perspiration.

 

 

 

 

AN ANTIQUE CHAIR
“A picture of myself and my granddaugh—

ter,” writes L. H. Haynes, of Branch

county. “llIy granddaughter, Priscilla. Al-

den Haynes, is sitting in a chair that her

great-great-grandmother sat in when the

family moved from New York State by

ox team, arriving in this country on Sep-
tember 20, 1834.”

We used every known remedy to no
avail. He called up a local doctor
who advised buttermilk. The first
application alloyed the burning and
itching and in three days time the
,trouble had vanished.

Another case of a young man
whose face was poisoned, eyes swol-
len to mere slits, lips so badly swol—
len he could take no food, was cured
by placing cloths wet with butter-

.milk upon his face. This when he
was ill in bed from it and doctors
had failed to give relief.

Include a pint can of this liquid
in your camping outfit if subject to
ivy poisoning—B. O. R., Gratiot

“PAIR. ‘AND A SPARE” HOSE

NQUIRIES about the “pair and a.
I spare" that shops are offering in
hosiery have brought from the
state extension clothing specialist of
New Jersey the following explana-
tion:
It is a good idea to have the extra
stocking to provide against a ladder
or pulled thread when one is away

from home. Some shops offer a snare ~~

in a tiny rubber bag Which may be
carried easily in one’s hand bag.
One must remember, however, to use
the spare as often as the other two.

"’tually changes the color.

Storing Butter.———As I was looking over
the paper of April 23rd I read of 3. WO-
man that asked if anyone could send her
a recipe for packing butter in crocks so
it would keep. I lived on a farm through
the time we farmers could not sell our
butter as it was only ten cents per pound
and at that time we were milking thirteen
cows and had to pack our butter. N0
creameries in those days to sell our cream
to and a separator was not heard of.
Now I will give my recipe. First, be
sure your butter after churning is work-
ed and rinsed with cold water until the
butter milk is all out of the butter. I
used two gallon crooks as they were the
easiest to handle. Now put two table-
spoonsful of fine salt in the bottom of
the crock with one tablespoonful of plfl;
verized saltpeter and mix the two to-
gether, then‘ put in the butter, a small
amount, at once and pack it down firm
and continue until all of that churning
is packed in. Be sure the butter is
packed in firm and around the sides of
the crock, then take a clean white cloth,
wet it in cool water and lay over the
top, then mix two tablespoonsful of salt
and one teaspoonful of saltpeter to—
gether and sprinkle over the cloth. Then
everytime you put more butter in crock
just fold this cloth and lay it to one side
until another lot of butter is firmly pack—
ed, then replace the cloth that has the
salt and saltpeter in. Repeat this until
your crock is full. Replace this cloth
and its contents and then cover good and
firm and set it in a cool cellar. If this

i l .

recipe is carefully followed your butter
will keep for a year. Hoping this little
advice will be satisfactory and I know it
will if 'butter is sweet when packed.Mrs.
Jas. Dyer, Missaukee County, Michigan.

Table Service.-—-Laying the covers. A
cover is the silver, glasses, china, and
linen used by each person. The covers
compactly arranged, though not crowded,
'should be placed directly opposite, giv-
ing the .atble a. symmetrical appearance.

The knife is placed at the right of the
place with the cutting edge next to the
plate. The spoons are placed to the right
of the knife with the bowls up. 'T'o the
left of the plate are placed the forks with
the tines up. The silver is placed one-
half inclrfrom the edge of the table. At

the tip of the knife is placed the glass

bread and butter spreaders are used, place
them on the upper right part of the bread
and butter plate with the cutting edge
toward the center of the plate. The nap-
kin is placed at the left of the fork with
the open edges parellel to the fork and
to the edge of the table. The napkins
should not be folded in fantastic shapes.
The cup and the saucer are placed to the
right of the teaspoons with the handle
of the cup placed a little to the right of
the edge of the table, The spoon is placed
in the saucer parallel to the handle of
.the cup. With the exception of the din-
ner knife and fork which may be placed
next to the plate the silver is arranged
in the order in which it will be used——
the soup spoon being to the outside, if
the soup is the first course. Never lay
a cover with more than three spoons or
forks, if more are required, they should
be placed as needed. If the meal is of
such a nature that a knife is not to be
used, the fork is placed to the right with
the spoons.

Need No" Garnishes For Strawberries

the easiest fruits to serve be-
cause they need no garnishes to
make them-attractive. Large ber-
ries, washed but not hulled, may be
served for breakfast, dinner or sup-
per, with nothing more than a small
mound of sugar in which to dip
each one before it is eaten.
Strawberries may be served with
whipped cream or they may be
crushed and sweetened, folded into
whipped cream, "and frozen as a
mousse. Strawberry pie or tarts may
be made by heaping slightly-crushed;
sweetened berries into baked crusts

THE BUSINESS FARMER
By M. L.’ Weekes, Lowell, Mich.
‘ We take this paper at our house,
. And read it like a little mouse
Eats cheese when he would like to
r  ,
And has no place to run away.
There’s something that we, use it for,
And we dOn’t throw it on the floor,
There's just one thing that's our de-
sire,
And that’s to read the Children’s
Hour.
THE BUSINESS FARMER is of use,
To those who wish to read the news,
It contains all of them you know,
And even how to cook and sew.
And now you know the reason why,
We’d take rather than to die, ’
It is of so much use to us.
We cannot say, "It isn't much.”

EAR Girls and Boys: So many
seem to have enjoyed our word
' contest which we .had the latter
part of May that I have decided to
have another.
we used the words “THE BUSINESS
FARMER” and this time we will use
the title to our page, “The CHIL-
DREN’S HOUR” which should make
it very popular.
V If you have forgotten the rules
governing our, first contest, I will
explain them to yogagain. You will
take the words, THE CHILDREN’S
HOUR, containing sixteen letters,
and see how many words you can
make from them.. In the first place
you already have three words to
start off your list. Next you can
,take the “'T” away from the word
“The” and you have “he”, a fourth
word, for you list. You can leave
off the last four letters on the word
“Children’s” and you have “child.”
Of course, you understand that you
can change the letters around any
'way you want to in order to make
up your words but you can use each
letter only the number of‘times it
appears in the three words. For in-
stance you can use only one “t” be-
cause there is only one in the three
words, but you can use “e” twice as
each of the first two words contains
this letter. I am sure that you un-
derstand just how to proceed in this
contest.

Some of the boys and girls start
out "with the first letter and see how
many words they can find using it.
then they go on to the next letter,
and so on until they gothrough the
entire list. Others list their words
in alphabetical order. It makes no
difference to me how you list your
words, just so all of the words are
correct and you write only on one
side of the paper, signing your com—

Its low easy loading box reduces
the labor in loading from 15 to 25 %.
You can load 115 to 125 loads on
this new spreader with less work
thanthat required to load 100 loads
on the ordinary machine.

Users say that the New John
Deere is the lightest draft spreader
built. Many" of them .who pre-
viously used three and four horses
on other Spreaders are using only two on
this new machine. Higher drive wheels,
roller bearings and' fewer moving parts
make possible this money-saving feature.

 

 
 
    

Good work follows the large diameter;
Iow-to-the ground beaters. Manure is
evenly spread in a well defined line, be-
yond the drive wheels before side winds
can cause drifting.

John Deere quality construction—fewer
parts and all of them made of high grade
materials by good workmen—that’s your
assurance of years of satisfactory service.

Remember, two exclusive features on
the New John Deere, the beater on the
axle and the box-roll turn make possible
this combination of advantages you are
sure to want in your spreader.

There Isn’t Any

‘ ERE is a card from a farmer at ‘

.Gobles. The request on. it is.
very short. “Kindly- give remedy
for "potato blight." The ansWer, is

even shorter, “There is none.“ When v

blight has made
its appearance in
a field there is no
remedy f o r the
plants affected.
It w o u l d be a
blessing if there
was. As it is, the
only way to rem-
edy blight is not
to let it get start-
ed. This is no
e a s y task.
means one must
begin to s p r a y
when vines are
six or seven in-
ches high, and from then on until
the plants mature or are killed by
frost, the entire leaf system must be
covered with a film of Bordeaux Mix-
ture. The plants develop new leaves
so fast it is necessary to spray every
ten days or so. Notice the word
spray—It isn’t the word sprinkle.
Many of the old time sprayers were
little better than sprinkling machines.
The spray should be driven through
the plant and this means the mixture
must really be a 'sort of fog, in or-
der to reach every leaf surface. The
under side of the leaf is the starting
place of the blight, and it is essential
these are covered. ‘

A man wants to know if he can do
an efiective job of blight spraying
with a hand sprayer. We have never

    

“

L. W. MEERB

_ seen a hand sprayer that would de-

velop pressure enough to be entirely
satisfactory, although there are some
hand sprayers which are more or less
effective. If the writer did not have
a potato field of sufficient size to

a make the purchase of a power spray-

er practical he would buy a hand
power duster and use dust for the
spray instead of the liquid.

The fact is, the large 4 row power.
dusters look exceedingly good to me,

and statistics show that dust can be '

effectively. used as a spray for potato.
blight if applied right. A field may
be dusted in one-fourth the time re—
quired by a liquid sprayer. One
filling with dust will cover several
acres,.and refilling'requires only a.
minute’stime. It is the refilling,

etc” that makes the time cost of us—

ing sprayer so high. However, the»
fact is, the dust costs much more
than the liquid spray. This differ-
ence in cost of spray material shows
the liquid sprayer to be the most
practical, as we see it.

It is possible the near future will_
find many dusters in use, as the sav-
ing of labor will be more and more a
factor to be reckoned with, as time
goes on. Spraying for blight is a.
sort of insurance. I think the years
of serious blight are about seven
years apart, and still it may be seri—
ous two or three years in succession.
We never had only one year when it
seriously affected our crop. This
was about 1916, and on ten acres we
harvested 280 bushel. We planted
150 bushel of seed. The crop over
the seed used was only 13 bushel ‘per
acre. In those days we did not spray,
and not until we began certified seed
did we wake up to the fact that it"
pays. This year we shall use four
nozzles to each row, after the plants
get twelve » inches high. Our ma-
chine will handle sixteen nozzles and
maintain a pressure ofover 200 lbs.

Canada. Thistles

An old friend in Stockbridge sends'
a. veryinteresting letter concerning

"Canada thistles; He thinks" the farm— '

ere should wake up and not let_'tliis

them, and in» .a‘ couple of years, they
entirely disappear. We have. killed
out several patches ‘ "

as they show. We feel the law con-
cerning Canada thistles is a’ good one,
and wish it would be enforced. 'As
it is ,the law seems to be utterly
ignored.

Twenty years ago, a farmer never 'I

thought of threshing a bundle of
grain if there were even a. few ripe
thistles in it. Nowadays a bundle
that is half or two-thirds thistleeis
thrown into a separator by a. large
number of farmers, without any hesi-
tation. One farmer said he would

not think of threshing such thistle

bundles, but would draw them to the

feed yards and let -the hogs have.

them! Some queer logic there. Our

Stockbridge friend is right when he r H

says his very discouraging for a
farmer to try and fight this pest when
his neighbors all around him are
careless and indifferent about.it,'and
let the thistles grow unmolested year
after year. 
g at as it

Cold‘LEh?

. Farmers everywhere are complain-
ing of the cold weather. Up until
now we have had very few warm,
seasonable days, and what» ideal
weather it has been for the work
horses and the man, who, in normal
years cleaned the dried sweat from
them.

Remember fifteen or twenty years
ago, how many horses were clipped
when warm weather approached?
Have you seen a clipped horse dur—
ing the past five years? I haven’t.
Why? Well, why? Blankets
high' priced? We used to have our
horses clipped, and I rememberons
spring, when there was every pros—
pect of hot weathre, we as usual had
them all clipped. The hot weather
did not arrive as planned, and we
had to work'our horses all the spring
with light stable blankets on, to keep
them from shivering. We wore over-
coats while planting corn this. year,
and even late in June as this there
are many days when a. heavy coat
seems good, while riding farm mach—
inery.

Last year we thought our corn
was small on July’4th. It was, and

it will'be much smaller on July 4th -

this year. ' Prospects are the corn

‘ borer couldn't do much damage this

year. In v our" last article mention
Was made of the farmer’s clean up of’
corn stubble. -A drive through the
country shows the result in "clean
fields. An agent for farm imple—‘
merits who visits many farmers,«says
he never saw farm yards, barn yards
and feeding lots so nice and clean,
and'thinks the cleau up has been
very generally observed, with excel-
lent results. He also predicts many
farmers will do a better job of plow-
ing next spring, and should the borer
clean up be in force then, they will
save considerable trouble in picking
stubble. _

With corn, borer prospects as they
are today, it Seems logical to imagine
plowing under corn stubble. next
springwill be a boy’s job, yet about
twenty years ago we planted in a.
very poor stand of corn on June 17.
it was cold, and cutworms were bad,
and everything was against the corn.
The prospects were not as good ‘as
they are today, and that fall we har-

vested the best corn crop we ever '

had.

Here’s hoping history repeats
itself. -

'the world has reached us too. ‘ ‘ ‘ '

and, my .friends, I profoundly be-

, ‘ ' .' lieve that only the humble Nazarene
 “can save us. Only as we fill our

minds and souls with- His teachings
and His love can we fulfill our mis-
sion." These are unusual words
from a stirring address made in the
legislativebody of Mexico by one of
’its members. They are quoted here
because they represent a new appre-
.ciation of Christ as the only cure for
an erring nation.

“What doth Jehovah require of
thee?" "He hath showed thee, 0
man, what is good.”. Judah’s reli-
" ' gion had in it the dry rot of material
worship. ‘To offerings, sacrifices,
.and costly temples, she attached a
superstitious worth. She professed
to believe that these would satisfy
God for her sins. One can hardly be-
lieve that rulers “that abhor justice
and pervert all equity," and that
“prophets that make my people to
err,” would presume so much upon
the goodness of God. Therefore Mi-
cah pleads for a moral reformation
in practical goodness as an unfail-
ing means for the healing of Israel.

Let us be reminded on this recur-
ring Independence Day that Ameri-
ca is a near counterpart of the He-
brew nation. That is, that both,
under God, were dedicated to the
moral good and the democratic wel-
fare of all. The Declaration of 1776
holds "these truths to be self-
evident: that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; that among these are

l, . life, liberty and the pursuit of happi—

ness." The inspiration for such social
idealism is found in the cry of the
Hebrew prophet, “Have we not all
one father? Hath not one God cre-
ated us? Why do we deal treacher-
ously every man with his brother,
profaning the covenant of our fa-
thers?" And the remedy for any na-
tion that‘errs from this standard of
creative righteousness, lies in fol-

lowing the teaching of our text "to .

do justly, and to love kindness, and
to walk humbly with thy God."

Let America beware! "A good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favor than
silver and gold." God is challenging
this republic to retain her good
name. Has the world been conjur-
ing with the word, "America"? Has
it been making our country to ap-
pear to be what it is not? Was there
ever a day when our motives were
more closely scrutinized than now?
What .do we want to be? First in
militaryprowess or first in peaceful
understandings? First in money or

first in the hearts of the world? Let ..

Americaknow that anything divine
in her history has come from the
' divinity of her people. And the
heart of the people is crying out for
simple Godliness and social justice.
There are some old words that de-

clare ~ that righteousness exalteth a V

nation.

"‘To do justly.” This is' simple
? righteousness. There is no subtle
religion in this formula. It is with-
in the comprehensidn of the child
2 and is, prefonndly the need of ma-
tare? living. 'fi'l‘o hunxrily seek to

which was not softened by kindness.

,, Kindness is an effectual ,sOlvent’ in

mutual living. It is the‘need of'na—
tions as of individuals. God would
say to America that all nations have
the right to expect from her the mer-
ciful and gracious dealing of heart
and hand. Under God, justice and
mercy are one; righteousness and
peace have kissed each other. Apart
from this, there is no high destiny.

,We all believe this. But there is
no morality in merely passive belief.

4Wor'ks must be matched with faith.

This is what God requires. Ameri-
ca's foundation is Christian; but let

'her also build a superstructure that

wil stand the fiery test. “Why call
me Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say.” It is time to boast of
our religion when it goes hand-in?
hand with honest action. One dares
believe that if our religion, the while
it communes with God, ‘would get
out of is "cushioned pews, forsake its
ecclesiastical niceties, and get to
workin terms of over-alls. business,
and statecraft, it would water down
the cry of many that our faith is not
genuine. Let us be reminded on
this Independence Day that whatever
goodness we have is due to religious
sources in the soul of, and religious
forces in the living of our people.
Our forefathers forewarned and
forearmed us in this by writing the
following significant paragra, h in
the Ordinance of 1787: “Religion,
morality, and knowledge being nec-
essary to good government and the
happiness of mankind, schools and
the means of education should for-
ever be encouraged.” Our govern-
ment was founded in religiously—
minded society, and a great calamity

it would be to lose this Christian

idealism. -

The colonial home taught the
child the rudiments of learning, but
also elemental religion. But now all
is changed. Parents are so pre-
occupied with the clutter of money
and things, that the religious in-
stincts of the child are neglected.
Gospel and gumption must be res-
tored to the home to save us. But

,character discipline must also extend

to the schools. The modern home
dumps its little six-year old risk on-
the public school to be given an edu-
But when in the name of God are we
going to learn that an education can
not be given. An education is won;
it is earned through paying a rugged
price. And along with any honest
effort to get it, there comes disci-
pline of soul. we can provide
schools, expense money, cars, and
easy facilities, but there the giving
ends. Thousands of American par-
ents are finding it so. It is simply
criminal to ruin our children through
relieving them of the necessity of
struggle. Opening doors of indul-
gence and ease is making our boys
and girls into snobbish, selfish, and
imperious“ citizens. If America
would be respected abroad and loved
at home, she must walk more
humbly with her God, and reorgan-
ize her homes, schools and churches
around the ideals of Jesus. These
institutions. breed and train her
citizens. What a wide G's-parity
between the idealism of Jesus and
the realism of America! To repudi-
ate the ethics and teaching of Jesus
Christ is to miss the lofty righteous-
ness that motivated America’s
America’s founders.

HOLSTEIN MEN PLAN BIG TIME

OUR big days are being planned

by the ‘Michgan State Holstein

Association, cooperating with
the State Department of Agriculture
and the Dairy Department of M. S.
C. July 26, 2'7, 28, and 29 are the
dates and every day there is ,to be
an excellent program at a difierent
location.

Each day there will be a dairy
judging demonstration by Prof. J. E.
Burnett, of M. S. C., at 10:00 A. M.,
followed by an inspection of the herd.
At noon the folks will have a basket
picnic with free ice cream and lemon—
ade. Then at 1:30 short talks will
be given by Dean R. S.,Shaw and
Prof. O. E. Reed of M. S. C., E. J.

‘ Cooper of the national association,

and D. D. Aitken, former president
of the national organization.

On Tuesday, July 26, the meeting,

will be held at the Pontiac State
Hospital, on the 27th at the Kala-
mazoo State Hospital, the morning of
the 28th at the Michigan Reform—
atory at Ionia and in the afternoon
at the Ionia State Hospital, with the
final day spent at Traverse City State
Hospital.

“Come rain or shine, and bring the
whole family,” says Secretary J. G.
Hayes.

SOFT COAL AS HOG FEED
Would like to know about feeding
soft coal to hogs—that is, slack.
Does it do any damage when fed
moderately or is it helpful and to
what extent?——R. S. L., Leonidas,
Michigan.

HE feeding of soft coal slack is

a very common practice and
while it is not injurious to hogs

it has not been proven that the ani-
mal needs the soft coal or that there
is any benefit in feeding it. Pigs
which are closely confined may be
benefitted somewhat by soft coal
slack. Rather than feed soft coal I
believe it would be much better for
you to keep some simple (mineral
mixture before these hogs. With the
college swine herd we are using the
following mixture: 45 pounds spe-
cial steamed feeding bonemeal, 20
pounds finely ground limestone and
35 pounds of common salt. The so-
called complete minerals on the
market have ho apparent advantage
over the cheaper home made mix-
tures and in view of their cost their
use is not justified—Geo. A. Brown,
Prof. of Animal Husbandry, M. S. C.

CORN FODDER AND BEAN PODS

Which has the most protein, dry
corn fodder if fed green to the cows
sorghum produce more milk than
corn fodder if fed green to the cows
in the dry summer months?—T. L.
B., Bay City, Mich.

RY corn fodder contains 3.0

pounds digestive crude protein

and bean pods contain 3.6
pounds in a hundred pounds.

I would not expect sorghum to
produce more milk than corn if fed
during the summer months—J. E.
Burnett, Assoc. Prof. of Dairy Hus-
bandry, M. S. C.

EWES EAT “’OOL

We have about 60 head of ewes
and most of them are looking fine
but some of them re poor and not
doing well although all are cared for
and fed alike and the last few days
we notice that some pick the wool
off the other sheep with their teeth
and eat it. They are young ewes
from one to four years old. We are
feeding alsike, timothy and quack
grass and a few cull beans and bran.
Have just commenced to feed the
grain, since we noticed them eating
wool. Perhaps if you know the cause
of this it would help someone else.—
A. A., Winegars, Mich.

HE trouble which you are hav-
T ing with these ewes eating their
wool is no doubt due to some
deficiency in the ration. ' _
If your ration consist very largely
of timothy and quack grass there is
no doubt in my mind but what there
would be a decided deficiency in
mineral matter for these jewes and

“ 'Would advisepthat You feed them'a _

   

 

,.

    

'mineral mixture consisting of 2.0
pounds .special steamed feeding
bonemeal, 20 pounds/salt and three I
pounds of sulphur, keeping this be-»
fore the ewes continually in' place
of common salt. It would also be
advisable to make an short to obtain
better roughage for these sheep. At
least one-half of the roughage fed to
sheep should consist of some legume,
either clover or alfalfa. The grain
ration could be improved by feeding
equal parts of cull beans, oats and
bran.—-Geo. A. Brown, Prof. of
Animal Husbandry, M. S. C.

MAY BE INDIGESTION

I have got a young lamb and it
drinks milk but it holds its head
back and kicks with its hind feet and
bites its neck. It grows and is get-
ting fat. ‘Can you tell me what
causes it and what to do for it?—
F. 0., Harrison, Mich.

T sounds as though this lamb has
light attacks of indigestion. If
you feed this lamb cold milk that
may be doing it. The milk Should
be warm, about the warmth that the
ewe would supply. Try warming the
milk if you are not already doing
that and see if it does not help.

TREATING DOG’S EAR

Would you please tell us what to
do for our collie dog’s car? It
seems to be very painful at times.
There is no discharge from the ear
but there is an odor from it.——J. T.
R., Howell, Mich.

ET some chlorazene tablets from
your druggist and dissolve one
tablet in about two-thirds tum-

bler of warm water. Syringe out
this dog’s ear night and morning;
use a small car syringe which you
can get at any druggists; do not use
any force but just fill up the cavity
of the ear.

‘BUOKWHEA'T IN LAYING RATION
Will you please tell me if buck-
wheat is good for laying hens or any
good for chickens at all?
ens were laying good last fall but
they almost quit laying‘as soon as
I started feeding buckwheat.——A. B.,
Conway, Mich.
UCKWHEAT may be used in
the laying ration up to ten per—
cent of the total ration, pro-
vided one has plenty of buckwheat
on hand . Due to its heavy fibre,
buckwheat is not an extra good

feed for laying hens.——C. G. Card,’

Poultry Husbandry, M. S. C.

GROUND BONE IN RATION

«I intend to feed ground bone to
my hens. and would like to know if
it would be just as good or even bet-

ter to make hens lay than the dried“

beef scraps such as a person buys in
bags. How much ground bone should
be fed to a flock of 100 hens if they
are not’so good? How much dried
beef scraps should be fed to the
same flock?—T. L.’B., Bay City,
Mich.

ROUND bone does not answer as
G a substitute or supplement for

meat scrap, since the protein
content in ground bone is not sufli—
cient for satisfactory egg production.
Ground bone answers to some extent
as a bone builder, but I would not
recommend its use to an extent
greater than four or five per cent.
Meat scrap should be used as the
protein feed and should constitute
about twenty per cent of the mash.

bandry, M. S. C.

Business Farmer that Mrs. E.
R. Huested of Hillsdale county
found what she called a big goose
7 She wanted to know if anyone

could beat it. I think I can. Here
Is the weight and measurement. The

goose is a very large one. ‘She weighs
22 pounds, a full blood Toulouse.
The egg weighs 15 ounces, is 15 in-
ches around the long ’way and 9 4
inches the other.—E. J. Longeer,
Gratiot County, Mich.

the first three or four weeks. Then
give them a mash made as follows:
Two parts of shorts and,one part
ofxcornmeal; this need be given but
once daily if they have good pasture.
If not give it twice daily.—‘4Dr. Geo.
‘ H. Conn.

F you are certain that the loss of
feathers is not due to moulting
it might be due to the so-called

depluming Imite. This condition,
of course, can be determined by an
examination by some expert.

Depluming mites can be treated

by the application of sulphur oint-
ment. This should consist of one
part sulphur to eight parts of lard.

‘CAUSE OF TRAMPING
EAR EDITOR: I see in THE
BUSINESS FARMER Where a man
asked what was the cause of
his horse tramping in the stall. I
had the same trouble and found it
was little mites and I took one—half
pint of tar and one gallon of coal oil
and stirred that thoroughly and
sprayed the stall with that and that
stopped it. Can you forward this to

.r “ Bright Future 
[ ’. ' V By W: FOOTE. Market.- ' , ' 
s f: . _

   

VERYBODY has been talking
and reading about the unusual-
’ly late season in most parts of
the country, and many farmers are
facing the problem of what course

. to follow in view of the great uncer-

tainty of the corn and other crops in
the corn belt states. Michigan
farmers are less affected than many
farmers in other states, as long ago
they saw the wisdom of diversifying
farm products, and instead or rely—
ing on corn, they are largely inter-

' ested in fruits and berries, garden

poultry, etc. Still
they suffer from unseasonable con-
ditions, and they realize fully that
all indications are unfavorable for a
normal corn crop. This is a seri—
ous matter, since corn is the main
feed for live stock, and at this time
it looks very much like a high fu-
ture scale of prices for grain, es-
pecially for corn. Oats too are
looked upon as headed for higher
prices later on, but the rise will
naturally be much less than that of
corn. Wheat is regarded as well
worth the advanced prices it has
been selling for, and so is rye. It
may be said that as things look now,
the promise is for moderate grain
crops and good prices, although later
weather conditions may work out
unexpected changes. Already the
good old summer time has made its
doubly welcome appearance, follow-
ing the long weeks of incessant rainy
and cold weather, and this exerted a
weakening influence on grain prices,
although much corn land was still
unplowed, something very unusual
so late in the season. July wheat
has hung around $1.42, or about 5
cents higher than a year ago, pro—
posed hostile grain legislation by
the state legislature oi‘. Illinois
checking speculation in grain at
times. Some time ago July corn
soared to $1.05, that price compar-
ing with 69 cents a year ago. July
oats at 49 cents were 9 cents higher
than last year. July rye sold up to
$1.19 on a scanty supply, comparing
with 91 cents last year. Late sales
of corn and other grains were at
lower prices, with warm weather and
increasing marketing of the south—
western winter wheat crop.

High Prices for Cattle

While this is a year of greatly
reduced prices for hogs, the reverse
is true of marketable beef cattle,
whether yearlings or long fed heavy
steers, and choice yearling heifers
have brought remarkably high pric-
es. The times are good, generally
speaking, wages are the highest ever
known, and there is an especially
large demand for the Choiccr cuts of
beef, despite the high prices asked
by the retailers. The country is
growing rapidly in population, while
there is no corresponding growth in
the'cattle supply, but, on the con—
trary, fewer cattle have been mar-
keted this year than in recent years.
An unusual feature is the liberal
premium paid for well finished long
fed heavy steers at a season of the
year when it is customary to see the
popular demand to turn to yearlings
at much higher figures than those
paid for heavy steers. Of course,
this is due to the quite general mar-
keting of light steers and yearlings,
which make up so large a part of the
receipts, while scarcely enough fat
heavy beeves are offered to go
around, many of them coming from
Nebraska. All kinds of cattle have
sold at much higher prices than in
most past years, and an abundance
oi! low-priced feed enabled stockmen
to make good profits. Since the great
advance in
feeder market has undergone a
marked change, and active‘buying

   

has centered mainly in” thin stock” ‘

cattle adapted for grazing purposes.
No overproduction of ,beef is expect-
"ed this summer. Late sales of beef
steers, were made in the Chicago

1 marketat $8.50 to $14.10, largely
at 3,10

to $13.25, with yearlings at
to.$13. The. cheaper lots

much too freely, and sharp breaks

stock too is. much lower. A year
ago. beef steers sold at $8.15 to
$10.55 and‘two years ago at $8.50
to $12.25. Stockers and feeders are
slow sellers at $7.50 to $9.75, de-
mand being mostly for grazing steers
at $7.75 *0 $8.50. During the last
week well tattened cattle sold at‘the
highest prices of the year; while
grass steers sold at! as much ,as‘ 50,
cents, cows and heifers being 75
cents lower. r ,
The Hog Market
During recent weeks former exist-
ing conditions have been completly
reversed, and hogs were rushed, to
leading western packing points in
overwhelming numbers to avoid
feeding live stock on high priced

‘ jprices was theiwideist

iWithin.".a short time" the range of

  
    

May, with quality to poorest oi: the
season, grassy hogs and packing

sows comprising an increased share

at the offerings. Withinashprt

time hogs sold on the Chicago mar- ‘
hot at $7.25 to $9.35,- comparing‘

with $12.10 to $14.90 a year ago;

- $11.40 to $13.65 two years ago and

$5.90 to $7.15 three years ago. ‘The
better grades. at light hogs and light
butcher hogs were scarce and sold

to late date 11,823,000 hogs arrived

corn, following the rise of corn for
July delivery to around $1.05 per
bushel after the long period when
corn was abnormally cheap. From
this great boom corn entered a large
decline, as was natural,_.but it was
still far above the prices of a year
ago, while hogs were at the lowest
prices of the year, with sales enor—
mously below those of one and two
years ago. Between a badly de-
pressed hog market and high prices
of corn, the average farmer-stock—
man did not hesitate to let his hogs
go to market at once, and the offer-
ings on the Chicago market were the
largest of the year and prices the
lowest for 1927. The average weight
of the receipts fell to 244 pounds,
9 pounds lighter than a year ago,
while heavier than two and three
years ago. Light and underweigh'ts
comprised an increased share of the
offerings owing to the advance of
corn, but the difference in weight
was partly offset by the seasonal in—
crease in receipts of sows. For the
year so far the movement of hogs
to .market is ahead of a year ago,
but generally behind other recent
years. A considerable increase in
the marketing of packing sows is
expected this summer, and they will

price found plenty of buyers on hand
to absorb the surplus.

 

CORN
Dollar corn is back with us, prices
having turned upward after the
slight slump around the middle» of
June. Advances fail to bring out
much support at the present level.

 

' 01118 ~ ’

, Oats are following the trend of
other grains which means the mar—
ket is easier, but there is plenty of
support on the breaks. The new
crop seems to be coming
nicely. .

 

RYE
Crop reports have worked con-
siderable from under rye and let
prices down. The crop looks good.

 

BEANS

Beans do not appear to be in as
strong a position as they were.a few
weeks ago. Dealers report demand
slowing up and many sales made at
figures below the market. In the
meantime reports continue to come
to us telling of a curtailment of the
acreage in most parts of the state.

THE PERFECT MOTOR’“‘OIL‘

No question about POIarine! Men throughout the ten. states of
the Middle West have learned that Polarine is the right oil for a
tractor—that it’s a dependable product—always the saline.

For years men have depended on Polarine
to take care of their tractors —— to oil and
protect every moving part of the engine -— to
avoid wear and prevent trouble and lengthen
the life of the machine. _

Polarine is low in price but high in lubri-
cating efficiency. Your tractor couldn’t run
without lubricating oil of some kind. And
Polarine is the kind—as thousands and thou-
sands of farmers have discovered.

Polarine is there—wherever and whenever it
is needed—lubricating every part of the engine
Lcushioning every frictional surface with a
tough film of oil—protecting every vital part.
It’s good business to use Polarine. Polarine
helps to reduce expenses —-'- cuts down repair

I

bills —— enables your tractor to deliVer ,the
power you paid ,for e saves your hard-
eamed money! 7 , , ~' I  4
You can always depend on Polar-ine—any time
———any place. The quality of Polarine never
varies from one year’s end to another. Polarine
is always the same. That Word stands for : oil
of the highest quality. In the northerncountry
of Minnesota, men are using Polarine exactly
like that used in Southern 'Missouri. ‘

Polarine wasmade especially, for your tractor
—— Whatever make you own. Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) lubricating engineers
studied the different types ‘of tractors and
deve10ped a. grade of \Polarine to meet the
exact needs of each type. The Chart will tell
you the grade to use. ‘ ~

To get Best Results—changgjyour motor oil at frequent intervals.
