Producers in Huron, Sanilac, Tus- co‘la, Bay, Saginaw, Genesee, Lapeer and St. Clair contributed to thesuc- cess of the show. The entries were limited to the above named counties with the—exception of the certified seed class, which was open to any certified seed potato grower of the ' State. _ The quality of the show will com- pare with other shows in the State. Interest was shown by the Thumb potato growers as indicated by the fact that there were 175 entries as compared to a few under 100 last year. The exhibits were of good quality due to the unusual care in selection and the dry Weather dur— . ing the summer which kept down the ' size, thus increasing the quality. Educational Features Michigan State College contributed to the show by having exhibits that 1 demonstrated the diflerence between . good and poor seed, also the use of i the proper and right amounts of fer- : tilizer. The State Department, of i Agriculture exhibit featul'ed the ._proper grading of potatoes which a will be a great help to the farmer. 2 Knowledged learned from the ex- ! hibit no doubt will aid in assuring 1’ the potatoes from the Thumb sec- ? tion to comply with the standard 3 grades of potatoes. Tuesday afternoon started the po- 1 tato show program. The program : included some interesting talks by g extension specialists from the Col- ? lege, and a representative from the 9, State Department of Agriculture. .‘ Facts were brought out to aid the I grower in proper culture practices, ' such as planting of better seed, ap- i plying 'commercial fertilizer and f other ways to improvethe quality ' of the potato. Speakers at Banquet Commissioner Powell of the State f Department of Agriculture made ' Several remarks at a banquet Wed— nesday noon. At the conclusion of .his talk Mr. ' secretary of the potato show with : a check to help defray the expenses ' of the show. Mr. A. C. Carton, director of the ; Bureau of Agricultural Industry, : State Department of Agriculture. . : HERE’S. HOW Powell presented the , By ERNEST J. WHEELER Extension Specialist in Farm Crops, Michigan State College gave an address pointing \Out the . benefits that would come by moving the ocean 2,000 miles inland. Mr. Carton was in’ faVor of the deep ' waterway. His arguments were that lower shipping rates would lower shipping costs thus opening the mid- dle west to the world markets. Also the waterway would greatly assist Michigan in her already developing industrial and agricultural pursuits. H. G. Moore, potato specialist, Michigan State College, and chief of potato inspection, also president of the National Potato Association of America, in his address, “The Potato Situation” gave reasons why the Thumb of Michigan is rapidly becom- ing a. potato producing section. Wayne and Oakland counties have been large potato producing coun— ties but owing to the rapidity of the sub-dividing of the land in these counties the potato section is being 'moved out into the Thumb of Mich- igan. The soil and climate is fa.- .vorable for potatoes, also the market is at the door, were the reasons given for the growing interest in potato production in the Thumb dis- trict. Wednesday evening a reel of film was shown on “The How and Why of Spuds” to a. good number of farmers. Many growers remained for discussions led by Mr. McCrary, potato specialist, and Mr. Sims, soils specialist of Michigan State College. Many problems were discussed that pertained to growing of better. pota- toes in the Thumb section. Prize “'inm-z‘s Honors of the show were shared by M. C. Mount, of Mayville, who won the sweepstakes on late pota- toes with his exhibit of Russet Rural certified seed potatoes, and John Lynch of Mayville who captured sweepstakes on early potatoes with his exhibit of Triumphs which were grown from seed obtained from Montana. Russet Rural open class wzs won by John Valentine of Fostoria; Mor- ris Mount of Mayville was second, and Stanley Stokes of Mayville was third. White Rurals class was won by George Maston of Mayville; F. A. Mertz of Caro was second, and B. C. Monroe of Mayville was third. Green Mountain class was won by James E. Green of Kingston; D. A. Dates For Potato Train Are Announced OMPETITION in potato market- ing is attracting more attention every year. In order to meet competition those districts that are producing considerable quanti- ties of potatoes are trying to im- prove the quality of their product by the introduction of potato shows.

Four thousand farmers from the eight northernmost counties of Michigan Wars in Gaylord on November 2, 3 .and 4 to take part in the numerous pactivities of the fifth annual show. The show room was crowded to capacity with over three hundred and “fifty of the best exhibits of potatoes “and apples in Northern Michigan. The number of apple exhibits "greatly, exceeded any previous year. *This was due to the large exhibits of ' the: Eveline Orchards of East Jor— den, and the Orchard Beach Farm of ,_-Cheboygan, who exhibited for the first time this year. ’ When‘the show first began back in 1922 only potatoes were exhibited, v but, in 1925 apples were added to the _premium’list and it has continued to grow along with the potatoes. Over $1600 was paid to exhibitors and contest winners. This is the largest amount ever paid out at a Top 0’ Michigan Potato and Apple Show. M. B. F. Ofl’ors Cup -. Competition was keen in most every class. In the peck exhibit of 'Russet Rurals there were over seventy-five entries, and John Allis, last year’s sweepstakes winner, was .on hand early to repeat, but, as in all previous years, a new man was 'heralded as the potato king. This year J. Fred Brudy, of Wolverine, a yearly Qchibitor and ex-president of the show carried off first honors. This gives Mr. Brudy the advantage toward the silver loving cup awarded .by THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER for anyone winning first in this class twice in succession. ‘ In the apple exhibits, H. G. War- j‘ng, of Kewadin, proved his superior— ity by taking sweepstakes in all class— f'es» ,even though his brother—in-law, C. W. Oatley, also of Kewadin, Won more \first than he did. The three days of the show were full of interest at all times. The pro— grams each morning and afternoon were well attended and interesting discussions followed each lecture. Mr,v H. A. Cardinell, horticultural specialist; Mr. G. M. Grantham soil Specialist; Mr. H. C. Rather, alfalfa specialist; Mr. C. M. McCrary, pota— to specialist; and Mr. J. G.

Nixon, College, told the one hundred fifty farmers attending the certified seed growers banquet that four things made high yields in ,Pennsylvania. These he said are “Michigan's certi— fied seed potatoes, proper spraying, humus in the soil, and a vision of the future.” Dr. Nixon again appeared on the» annual banquet program with Dean R. S. Shaw, of the Michigan State College, and Honorable Herbert E. 'Powell, Commissioner of Agricul- ture. Dean Sha‘w stressed‘the impor- tance of farmers studying agencies interrelated to agriculture, such as commerce, industry, and transporta- tion. “Railroads and immigration have been the two major influences in the development of agriculture,” he said, “and we should be consider- ate of these influences.” - Commissioner Powell praised the farmers for the cooperation given in the marketing of standard grades 0 potatoes.

He saw he couldn’t make a go of it on farming alone so he started a roadside stand, using the sideboards to his hay rack for a. counter and a couple of tubs for an icebox. -Living along M-13 there were quite a. few customers every day and at the end of the first week he found they had made several dollars. Business continued good and he saved so by the end of that year, 1925, he was able to build the place shown in the picture. In 1926 a $2,000 building was added making it a barbecue and soft drink stand, dance hall, tourist camp, playgrounds and roads 0 stand combined. He calls his place the Midway and believes the idea a good one for any farmer who lives along a main highway on a poor farm to try out.

LINTON county has been placed ‘ under the quarantine for corn borer. State reports do not show that Lebanon township is in— fested, but the whole county *come under this ruling. However, you have a perfect right to sell your corn and the stalks to anyone in (‘Fn‘on county or in any other county included in the quaran- tine, but you cannot transport your corn to Ionia or any other county outside of the quarantine.

I have half and the renter has half and each pays for half of the seed, threshing, etc. Now what is the rule if we put fertilizer on, would the renter have to pay for half of the price of the fertilizer or would the owner have to pay for it all?—L. C. R, Jackson, Mich. AM quoting from circular bulletin I number 102 of the Michi an Ex- periment Station, the to lowing paragraphs which were prepared by the soil section of this College. 0n the basis of the recommendations in these paragraphs, each party should pay his share of the fertilizer ex- pense. “In case readily available fertil- izer other than nitrogen is applied at the rate of from 160 to 250 pounds per acre, the tenant shall be recom- pensed at the rate of 40 per cent of his share of the purchase price after the first crop year, 20 per cent after the second crop year and 10 per cent after the third crop year. In case larger applications are used, recom- pense should be made at the rate of 50 per cent, 25 per cent and 15 per per cent, or more, of his share of the purchase price after the first, second, and third crop year respect- ively. “Mixed fertilizers containing nitro- gen in addition to other plant food element shall have 89.00 per ton de- ducted from the purchase price for each two units of ammonia. Recom- pense for the remaining plant food shall be based on the remainder of the purchase price at the rates spec- ified in the preceding paragraph. "If a nitrogen fertilizer alone, such as sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda is used no recompense shall be given after the first crop year." This is a method of recompensing tenant in case he does not continue to rent the land—F. T. Riddell, Re- search Assistant, M. S.

It is not advisable to feed millet hay as a sole roughage. Better re-, sults are secured when it is fed along with some other hay such as clover, mixed hay, or alfalfa. . Soybean hay has much the same feeding value as alfalfa hay and is much to be preferred to millet.

In many orchards the pre- carious condition of‘ the trees has been aggravated by early defolia- tion caused by drouth, scab, and aphis i n j u r y .Two things that we have to be Herbert Nafziger- that the trees have, in most cases, not been further weakened by a heavy; crop; and, that the fall has not been a wet one as well as a. hot one. Nevertheless we believe it behooves the fruit growers of Michigan to pray for a mild winter. HORTICUL’I‘URAL MARY Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How did your cover-crop grow? Up to my knees, to protect my trees, When bare orchards are knocked for ’a row. —H. Nafziger. STARTING GRAPES I want to start a new vineyard and would like your advice on how to do it. Will be very much obliged.— Subscriber, Saginaw County. HE proper way to propagate your grapes would be by cuttings early in the winter from canes of the past season’s growth, with about three buds to each cutting. Tie the cuttings into small bundles with all buds turned the same way, bury the bundles in the ground, butts up, and cover with about four inches of soil. Early in the spring, take up the bundles and line the cuttings out in nursery rows, setting them]. deep enough so that only the top bud is above the ground. Keep the rows thoroughly cultivated for one season, after which the young plants can be planted in the vineyard. BLIGHT ON PEARS I have a few pear trees that get blight struck nearly every year about July or August. Would spraying do any good, and what would you use for spraying? We. also have a large sweet cherry tree that is full of blos- soms every year and produces only a few ripe cherries. I have ’ been spraying every year.——L. W., Ster- ling, Michigan. EAR blight cannot be controlled by spraying. Blight is usually much worse in pear trees which are making a fast growth. In your home orchard it might be advisable to leave the pear trees in sod and do no pruning. Next spring it would be a good thing to cut out all blight— ed limbs and blight cankers. The cankers are often found on large limbs at the base of blighted twigs. Cut out the cankers with a knife or gouge them, out with a. chisel and disinfect the wounds with a solution of Lysol or some other good disin— fectant. During the summer it will be necessary to cut off blighted twigs considerably below the blighted part as soon as the disease appears. If your sweet cherry tree is stand- ing alone it is quite likely to be sut- fering from lack of proper pollina- tion. It needs another sweet cherry tree _of :another variety blooming next to it. Next spring when the tree . is in blossom; *‘try’ to " get "a flowering, branch from another sweet cherry tree and—place the "bouquet" next to your ’tree in a pail of water.

Colling'wood T is a beautiful evening and the young people and their mother are attending a rehearsal for an Epworth League play in the nearby village. It seems quiet here and a glance at the date on my daily paper tells me it time I got buy and wrote something i o r the next issue of the M. B. F. , I have in mind several things I would like to write about, but somehow to come exactly clear—they seem to get sort of sidetracked, f o r there is a very sad thought up- permost in my m in (1 tonight. Just yesterday I learned of the pass— ing on of a friend—one I have known for fifteen years, and heard from ev- ery week, yet never have seen per- sonally. Here was a man possessing the quality they call Sterling in sil- ver. No man had higher purposes in life, nor stood more steadfast for what he believed was right. His dis- position was genial, his sympathy could not be measured—in fact em— bodied all the Graces which Paul mentioned in his apostle to the Cdr- inthians: “Faith, Hope and Charity, and the greatest of these is Charity." So it was with my friend, but I should say our friend, for if ever farmers had a friend it was Herbert W. Collingwood. With your permis- sion I would like to tell just a little of his life and work. He was born on the coast of Mass— achusetts a few years before the Civil War. His father, as I remember he told it, was killed in that conflict. He was “bound out” and knocked around more or less, yet succeeded in getting a country school education. As a you-11g boy he was personally ac- quainted with Alexander Graham Bell, when Bell was trying to make a wire carry a message or a short line between Boston and Cambridge. He was an errand boy for one of our fa— mous authors, and went out and bought a bag of peanuts for a group of these serious minded men when they all chanced to be in his employ- er’s office. There were Longfellow, Lowell, Emerson, Holmes, Whittier and Aldrich present at the meeting. He loved books and the men who could write them. About this time. however, there was a great exodus of these New England men to the great west, and we find H. . 0'. working as a cattle border in, Colorado. It was while herding cattle one day that he‘made a sad discovery. This same discovery has been made by many others, and I, myself, can all too plainly remember when this discovery came to rue—he found his hearing was leaving him and, like the rest of us, he put forth every effort to re- gain it, all to no avail. That winter he was out with his horse after some cattle when one of those awful blizzards dropped down upon him, from a seemingly pleasant sky. His horse stumbled in a prairie dog hole and in the mixup got away from him and ran away. The snow was getting deep and darkness had dropped down, seemingly in a minute. Stumbling along the man was sur- prised to find himself up against a sod but. He, and two other men were given shelter and taken in for the night. He had often heard of these men. They were both well along in years and from vastly different walks of life, who had just chanced to meet that night in that hut. One. was known as the richest man in all the. country about. He «said go and come to more men than any one else.“ .He was also known. for his lack of edu- cation. The other one, a man of very little Means but-possessing a line Eda L. W. MEEKS t ‘h e ' ideas don’t seem‘ bl decided then and there to get an education which he might enjoynin his latter years if he never had a cent- He had learned to love the great out of doors, and farming appealed to himstrongly. He wished to find some place of learning where among other things he could study Agriculture. Hearing of a college “up in Michi- gan” the only college of it’s kind in the United States which had just been established a few, years before, and whose aim was to teach the “art of Agriculture," he passed through the gates of the Michigan Agricultural College as a student. A discourag- ing prospect for a student to face—— very little money and hearing nearly gone. But he had determination, and a personality that won him many friends, and by working vacations, giving entertainments, etc., he suc- ceeded in graduating from that insti- ' tution in the class of 1883. Realiz- ing that money was his first need he spent some time in the "North Woods” where {he gained much knowledge of human nature. He soon found that his calling was to be an editor and after a year or two on other journals, he went to New York where for the past forty—two years he has been Editor and Manager of the “Rural New Yorker." I became as- quainted- with him‘ in the first issue of the paper I received,~flfteen years ago. You see he had a regular de- partment of his own which he called “Hope Farm Notes" and to read one of these articles made one feel one knew him, and that he was your friend. However I have 'been fav- ored with several‘ personal letters from him. Many years ago he pur- chased a farm in northern New Jersey, where he could live and still go back and forth to his office. It had several orchards on it but he began planting several others and one of his greatest pleasures was to wander about his farm among the orchards and garden truck. Perhaps his great- est pleasure was in doing something for a child. Besides rearing a family of his own, he and his good wife have made a‘home for over a score of children whom they have taken and educated. I have often wondered how he could spend so much time at home at Hope Farm and yet be at his allies so much. His paper being national in scope, afforded him many opportuni- ties to become acquainted with about every business enterprise, and how he did love to ferret out one whose principles were not square. The number of such concerns he has put out of commission is more than one would believe. His work was far from finished and in his passing we, as farmers, whether we have heard of him or not, have lost a friend. He . was the author of several books. Quitarecently he issued what is per- haps his masterpiece—at least the mqst personal, for it was on the sub- ject of hearing, and which he called “Adventures in Silence." The read— ing of this book and being able to ex- actly understand his position and purpose, has only added another tie to my friendship for him, and in his passing I feel lonesome. STOP IJAWLFESNESS EAR EDITOR: I am very much pleased to see that you take so much interest for those who raise poultry.

Duncan nodded and added, “Yes, sir.” when he saw the frown gathering. “I’ll take her meals now, he added firmly. "No dirty faced little runt can—- here, fix up a. good meal and let me have it. Go tell her she’s got a treat coming." Duncan obeyed him. He walked slow- ly across the grass toward the cabin. It was hidden by another from the cook shack, where the men were gathered. As soon as he passed out of their sight, it occurred to him that a dash for the woods might be possible. Yet after a sec- ond he dimissed it as impossible. The girl could not endure the long race on foot. She saw him coming and had the door open. He thought she. *' guessed his news, for her eyes wer ghtened. Yet she only said: “Is Horner back?” He shook his head. “He’s killed him." she breathed. When Duncan asked what she meant, the girl explained that she had seen Rom- key follow Horner into the woods. Later she had heard a faint shot. Romkey had come back alone. She doubted if the men knew he had left camp. She was fright— ened. That man was bad; he might do anything. They had thought they had' a few days’ breathing spell before Locke came back. Now—~ “In a minute,” Duncan “Romkey will be here." “No,” she moaned. “No—no!" “To give you your dinner,” Duncan went on coldly. “Keep that door locked. Let him hand the food thru the window." “If he wants to, he can break in,” she said, as if weighing chances to herself. “If I had a knife, now—" “He will not break in," “She gave him a glance of alarm. would only kill you,” she murmured. not vex him.

He made a. warning gesture. “Quick!” he whispered. at hand.” He glided around the corner of the cab- in. The slam of the door came to his ears. The bar fell. . Duncan put his hand inside his shirt andpulled out the captain’s pistol. Its butt lay nicely in his hand. He shook more powder in the pan, held it ready, and steadied his shoulder against the cabin wall. “Open the door!" ordered a. voice be- yond, suddenly. There was no answer. made the door rattle. “If it’s dinner, hand it in at the win- dow, please,” came the girl's voice—very thin, very high. “Open that door !" Silence. "An axe will do it if you won’t, my pret- ty.” It was Romkey’s voice again. “No? Well, then." There was a crash. The'girl screamed. Duncan, gliding softly around the cor- ner, came face to face with Romkey, red- faced, sweating, an ax swung over his shoulder in position for another swing at the door. His grip relaxed for an in- stant, his jaw dropped as he saw Duncan and got the significance of the pistol muzzle that was a. foot from his chest. “What the devil !" he cried. He clenched the handle again and swung his weight into a blow that aimed for Duncan’s head. The pistol spat flame and lead at his chest. He choked and staggered. The ax, released, plowed into the dirt at Dun- can’s side. Romkey turned half—way around, fell against the side of the cabin and slid slowly to the ground. His eyes rolled at Duncan. He tried to speak. A final spasm shook him and he lay still. Duncan stared at him—and at the pistol from whose muzzle blue smoke still trail- ed. Then he tossed the pistol down by the body and turned away. He thrust his face up to the window as he went past. “Say nothing," he warned. “Don’t let them know." > . In a. second he was around the corner of the cabin. He doubled back among interrupted, said Duncan. llHe O‘Do "I’ll be near A heavy kick the trees andjcame out again on thefarl side of the cook shack. The men around the keg were just moving slowly away from it. Agroup of the others had al- ready turned the corner toward the pris- oner’s cabin. A shout came back: “Dead!” The men broke into a run. Duncan joined them. Breathing hard, they came up to the circle around Romkey’s body. “Pistoled,” commented someone. “Now who done it." * One man gave a cry, leaped forward and threw uphis hand with the pistol in it. The men stared at it; one or two swore and stepped back. “It's the captain’s pistol. The captain, he warned Romkey to mind his own busi- ness. He told Romkey to keep his nose out of this." “The captain came back an' got him,” added another hoarsely. POTATOES AVERAGE OVER TWO POUNDS N Eaton county farmer, Fred Frey, reports that he dug 27 potatoes this fall that weighed 65 pounds, an average of close to two and a half pounds each. They shrank from the man who lay on the ground. ,The men on the outside of the circle began to cast uneasy glances around them. “Served him right," avowed one man loudly, as if an unseen listener were weighing their words. The others mum- bled among themselves. They backed slowly away. The man on the gronud faced with his painful grin nothing but the wavering green of a. branch high above him. Captain Romkey had come to the end of his hour’s command. V.—THE PIECE OF SNAKE They buried Romkey in a hurry, and took the silver mounted pistol to lay on the shelf in the captain’s cabin. Once more the men were on their good behavior. Two went scurrying up the trails to keep guard again. The rest , sat in a circle, looked at each other, and said hardly anything. Langdon, a tall, lanky fellow, with a face the color of dirty paper, took it up- on himself to assume command. He was one who had cried: “Served him right !" when they had found Romkey dead. Ap- parently the belief was strong that the captain was just around the corner checking up on every word. ‘Take something more to the young lady,” he ordered Duncan. “Tell her she’ll not be bothered again.” . Duncan shivered, and his jaw dropped. “There's blood on the ground by the door," he quavered. ‘I’m afraid—ha’nts— He got a. cuff that sent him sprawling. “Get along 1" growled Langdon. ,1 a God xcuse, to’tflkifliings ~ w lib her.” His objections had been part c is plan of appearing too. weak and spiritless to be worth watching. the ,moment that sort of acting had not been difficult. prediotment, the pistoling of Romkey had set his nerves to jumping.

' - There was, as he feared, a dark spot on the hard-packed ground before the cabin door. Duncan, with a. stony face, walked right over it, but something twist- ed inside of him as he did, it. He had .to wait a. minute before he could make his voice sound bold enough to speak to her. To that breathless silence within he said: "It’s Duncan again. right." He could hear‘the girl panting like a. hound after a hard run as she lifted the The next second she had tWO frantic arms around him and was sobbing against his shoulder. “Take me away 1" she begged. "Quick! Quick !” A , A. He was far too unsure of himself to feel any» gratification. .Yet that grasp warmed him. At the same time, her agi- tation made him fearful. Escape now? The thing was impossible. It would take preparation, waiting, night. and a. lucky chance. Yet.ho feared to say it. She was in the mood to run shrieking to the woods if she were told that she must hide longer in the cabin. “Of course we’ll go," he said, in a voice he tried to make reassuring. I’ll get a couple of horses ready and hide them. You be ready when I give the word." She grew 2. little calmer, and looked up ,at him—even tho she still unconsciously held him tight. He almost winced at that look. She seemed to think that he could do as he promised. Could he? The thought of his comparative powerlessness made him savage. “When things are ready,” he told her, “I’ll walk past and whistle. Then you make to the other end of the camp. I’ll have the horses tied in that clump of trees north of the sheds." She nodded, and then seemed to freeze in a. new terror. “Alone?” she asked. “Do I have to go - by myself ?"- "I’ll be busy," he explained. “If they miss me, they may start looking for me before we’re ready. They won’t know you've gone. You’ll have to do it by your- self. I’ll meet you where the horses are.” He hesitated. “If you see the men coming toward the timber, and I'm no- where in sight, get on and ride anyway." She cried out at that, as if he had struck her, and shook her head. For a. moment they stood there, breast to breast, and he could feel her gather herself to- gether. Then she stepped back. Everything’s . At ' i The" terror of the girl’s v “When you whistle," she repeated, and was gone. Duncan went back to Langdon. The men still hung together uneasily and looked over their shoulders often. They were wondering about Hornet. Presently Langdon clapped his hands together. “Romkey done for him i” he declared. I'll bet on it." They argued over that. Landon insist— ed that Horner’s failure to show up gave force to his argument. They tried to re- call which way Homer had gone. One man was sure. He started off to the woods. Three more followed him. The rest sat still and \jeered at them. Lang- don turned flnally.‘ “You’re scared to get into the brush," he accused them.‘ “Nobody’s waiting to pick you off.” Two more swaggered after him at that. The others hunched their shoulders and sat still. . Duncan sauntered off toward’the sheds. The stockade held a few horses. Most were out in the timber, hunting for their feed. All wore hobbies, of course.

TET: and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33. “‘ ETTER farming, better busi- ness, and better living; and the greatest of these is bet— ter living.’ If there is one pro- nouncement which has towered above others in thesedays of dis- cussion, it is aptly expressed in these words.” This paragraph is taken from Dean Mann’s “final expression" of the American Country Life Con- ference held at East Lansing, Michi- gan. And it is highly pertinent in this connection to quote President Buttenfield on “The Issues of Farm Life.” His final word is, “But above all, let us not forget that, while the present day world is at work sub- duing nature, utilizing material re- sources, and building the huge ma- chinery of civilization, the abiding is- sues of farm life, as of all life, lie after all in the subordination of the material to the spiritual, of the phy- s'ical to the moral. In other words, they lie in such principles as the su- preme worth of the individual, the giving of each individual both the opportunity and the stimulus for the maximum development of his mind and spirit, and the cooperation of in- dividuals, of families, of communi- ties, of states, of nations, of races, for the common welfare of all man- kind.” This writer left the confer— ences on country life with special ad- miration for the personality who did so much to saturate the atmosphere of the meeting with the spirit of righteousness. His words, “for the common welfare of all,” is a. modern phrazing of Jesus’ “The Kingdom of God,” the seeking of which is the true end of life. live in the rural sections, and are tempted to believe that the weal of ourselves and of our children lies, first of all, in more money and bet- ter economic adjustments, must be reused to know that it is “better living” through the undergirding of the life with religion, that makes for final and complete satisfactions. This is precisely what Jesus said in the words of our teirt. Now let us ex- amine this lesson a little more sym— pathetically. And to do this, is to know first what warnings lie back of the text. “Except your righteousness shall ex- ceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.” A sharp forewarning indeed ; a start- ling declaration that a merely pas- sive and conventional religion was missing the mark. This is severe, but it is the truth which has for long been too much crushed to earth. This principle puts an eternal tabu upon any social institution, church or other, which does its service be- fore men to be seen of them; that is, to exalt itself. The seal of truth is put upon that institution which reaches down into the great heart needs (if humanity in an humble and unostentatious manner. “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.“ Every church and so- cial agency needs to uncover its light, but the motive for such adver- tising is sanctified only through bap- tism in the spirit and purpose of Christ. The ,good Lord knew that when we go to blowing trumpets our weak nature would be tempted to petty show‘for the‘sake of worldly honor; Our text is a drawn indict- ment against this thing and ‘a posi. tive social charge laid upon the m'nds of men and institutions. The id a1 set forth grades the activities and institutions of every community on the basis, of their» motive and- pow'er- to promote better living.

But when men seek these things for their own sake, and reck- on that life consists in accumulating them so that theymight have them in abundance, this is disallowed. our Lord declares in uncompromis— ing terms that material greed is eter- nally opposed to social good, or Kingdom living. Judge Gary is dead. He was a strong exponent of the virtues of personal religion. But it may be doubted that he left much social recognition to United States Steel.‘ To seek money first, believing that somehow this will promote bet- ter living in the end, is a practical nullification’of the teaching and life of our Savior. He declares that when. We seek first possessions in the realm of the unseen, which is eternal, those necessary things in the realm of the seen, which is but tem- ‘ porary, will be added unto us. This is a way of life that holds, as President B‘utterfield has said, to the “supreme worth of the individ- ual" and to “the cooperation of in- dividuals" for the common Weal. Now, .Christianity is a way of life, and it is this way of life. To pro- mote it, the community must look to velopment of its citizens; it must emphasize personal attention to righteousness. These citizens in the aggregate, make for social foulness or fragrance. The writer has in hand a score card for the grading of farmers which was handed him at the country life conferences. It is significant, that out of the one thou- sand points given for determining the farmer’s standing nearly one half come under “Home Life” and “Citi- zenship.” No farmer is a "Master" until he is morally fit. And this per- sonal fitness is shown by his social attitudes; that is, his home and citi— zenship relationships. This is a joy- ous conforming to the two-dimen- sioned program of personal right- eousness and social service, as taught and lived by Christ. To seek first the Kingdom of God is to have it within and express it without. It is a soul—quality that flows out in love to all men in ever widening cir- cles. It cooperates “for the common welfare of all mankind.” For ex- ample, our “Master Farmer” is re— quired to take an active interestin school afiairs, to go to church at least thirty-five times a year, and is given extra points for active inter— est in and support of the church. But mark this, “If known in the com- munity as ap‘knocker’ on community enterprises, make full deduction.” Verily, the time is here when the first things of life are striving for first place, when the spiritual concept of living is beginning to deliver us from the dominion of sense things, when “better living” must become the high purpose of one and all. The common welfare of all is the one and unvarying motive of Jesus’ life and teachings. This motive is the chief corner-stone in the building of a better community. Let rural preach- ers and sociologists make this their common theme. When our text has a chance, it wil‘ raise the common life of the community to its highest possible terms.

"The Farm Paper of Service” THANKSGIVING HANKSGIVING, with its proverbial turkey, dishes of crimson jelly and golden brown pumpkin pies, is not far 0E. Many of us .are already dieting some so that we will be in trim to enjoy the good eats that we know we will have. Then when the time comes we will stuff ourselves so much that we will have to take a nap in the afternoon while the women folks do the dishes, and we will forget almost completely the purpose of this day. Let us not forget to get down on our knees and thank the good Lord for the many blessings he has shown us. SELLING POTATOES ELLING potatoes! That is what Michigan is doing during the month of November with its many potato shows. The Top 0’ Michigan Show at Gaylord is the first one and this is fol- lowed with shows at Mayville, Greenville, Cadil— lac, Big Rapids, Traverse City, and others of lesser importance. Our leading shows attract national attention and result in Michigan pota- toes being shipped to many parts of the country, while the smaller shows increase local interest in better production. NOW WILL THE GRANGE BEHAVE? PEAKING at a banquet in Bay City recently 7 Congressman Robert J. Clancy of Detroit is reported to have expressed his opinion of the stand the State Grange took on prohibition at its fifty-fourth convention by saying, “If the State Grange would pay more attention to crop rotation and scientific research to solve real v problems instead of trying to regulate the morals ' of the people of the State it would accomplish more for the farmer." - What bothers the congressman is the fact that he and his wet friends cannot tell the farmers 'how to vote. The farm folks helped make this country dry and every vote or canvas taken since that time indicates they have not changed their mind. Perhaps he is just a bit afraid of the in- fluence that may be wielded by this fine rural organization. Congressman Clancy’s way of telling the farm- ers to “go homeand slop the hogs” will not make a very great impression on the State Grange. In fact his cause would have been better off if the words had never‘been uttered. SPREAD OF CORN BORER CONTINUES N July lst of this year the European Corn Borer was known to be in the'counties of .

That is just over half of the counties in the lower peninsula. Get your map of Michigan and notice how the infestation is following the shore line of the State. Perhaps by next summer we will have reports of infestation along the eastern side of .Wisconsin and Illinois, the borers being carried thereby the waters of Lake Huron, Straits of Mackinac and Lake Michigan. L rnnrass ‘LAW MOVEMENT is said to be under way to " amend and take the teeth out of the Horton trespass bill requiring hunters to secure oral permission of a land owner to hunt on his prop- erty. Our lawmakers took most of the teeth out of the original bill before they would pass it and now sportsmen want to make it completely harmless. . Some readers report that wevmight as well not have the law as hunters fail to pay any attention V to it anyway. That is no doubt true in many cases, the hunter trying to avoid the owner of the property and telling anyone who questions him that he has oral permission. When caught by the owner a hunter may apologize and say that he talked with ‘a man who said he was the owner and gave him permission, or that he was hunting on the adjoining farm with permis- sion and did not know that he had crossed the line. Various excuses can be offered and some will sound plausible. But it the law could be changed from “oral permission” to “written per- mission” we feel- confident it would be far more effective. If this bill is to be amended let us see that it is made stronger instead of weaker. Legis- lature does not meet in regular session for over a year yet but we advise your getting in touch with your senators and representatives, personally or by mail, right away, and then keep reminding them every once in a while. so ALL MAY PROSPER ICHI-GAN is fortunate in having such a rail- road as the New York Central Lines serv- ing its citizens in many sections. 'Any movement to improve agriculture in the State usually has their ready moral‘and financial sup- port. At the present time they are not only as- sisting in the staging of potato shows in different parts of the State but they are supplying the nec- essary equipment and crews to operate several special trains in Michigan, cooperating with the agricultural college and making these trains of the greatest possible value to the farmer. These trains have helped carry the messages of better herd sires, more dairying and alfalfa, fertile soils. certified seed potatoes, and other subjects to the / farmer much to his profit. Of course they have selfish reasons for wanting the farmers of Michigan to prosper through bet- ter crops and livestock. One of them is that it will mean more business for their trains, more freight to be hauled to distant points as demand. increases for Michigan grown products with a reputation for quality. But, surely we can not blame them for wanting interest on their invest- ment in the betterment of Michigan agriculture. HIGHER PAY FOR OWN-UP '“ BELIEVE that the farmer should receive more than $2.00 per acre for cleaning up his corn fields," said Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture Dunlap at the recent International Corn Borer conference in Detroit. He owns a farm in Ohio and has an idea of how big a job it is to make a thorough clean-up. We doubt if he could have made a statement that would meet with greater applause from the farmer within the quarantined area than this.‘ CHICKEN THIEF REWARDS OF $50 EACH Li. B. F.

Then one fel- low asked me if I had any horses with the heaves. I told him I didn’t and asked if he was buying such horses. He replied he was ~doctor- ing them. I mentioned that two of mine were not doing so well and he wanted to look them over. He said they had worms and offered to sup- ply enough medicine to treat four horses for $5.00 or would sell the ,recipe for $10. I though he was right about the horses so gave him the five and asked him to leave his name and address. ‘W. Rinehart, Barberton, Ohio,’ was what he gave me.

WEISHAAR & OODH’ANY We would like to have you help us collect some money we have com- ing from J. H. Weishaar and 00., commission merchants, 12 South Water Market, Chicago, Illinois. for celery we sent them on consignment. We sent them a total of 70 boxes of celery and never received one penny for it. They wrote that our celery was sold for $1.75 and $2.00, but being short of capital they asked us to wait two or three weeks for our money. We waited and not getting any returns wrote them. We re- ceived a letter telling us they were still short of money but we would get paid in full in two or three weeks. After allowing them plenty of time to make good their promise we wrote them another letter to which they failed to reply, and we are still waiting for our money.— G. T., Ottawa County. PON receipt of this claim We wrote the company a letter which they did not see fit to acknowledge. Then we sent them a second letter—with the same results. A third letter went by registered- mail to be sure that they receiVed it and still no reply. We then placed the matter in the hands of our Chi- cago representative who called on the company. He told Mr. Weishaar that unless he settled with our sub- scriber within two weeks we would expose him through our columns be cause even though his financial con- dition might be bad he had no right to use the money of people who sent him produce to sell. No settlement being made the only thing left for our subscriber to do is to start legal action and, if necessary. put the company through bankruptcy. Even then it is doubtful if our Ottawa county friend would win out- because their investment is undoubtedly less than what they owe him. CHECK WAS NO GOOD I wish you would let me know as so as possible what you can do in this case and what I am to do. Two weeks ago I sold a cow and calf payment.

It may seem like rush- ing the season a little to be offering gift suggestions now, but a month, after all, is only a few short weeks ‘ and how quickly they can roll by when there is much to keep us busy. -' They will be a thing of the past be- ‘ fore we know it, and we will still ~ be wondering what we are going to ~: give everyone. As a result, we will “do a lot of last—minute planning, and our gifts will be lacking in person- _ ality. True Christmas giving does 5/ not need to be expensive giving; all ‘ it requires is a little thinking and flplanning on our part ahead of time. ' Most of the fun of Christmas lies in . getting the right thing for the right - person. For this reason we are offering these suggestions below. You may ' not be able to use any of them, but at least it will turn your thoughts Christmas-ward and perhaps make ;you sit down and do some real, conscientious planning. MOTHER: How many years has ' she struggled along with the same ' old hit-and-miss dinnerware, hardly two pieces alike? The sauce dishes L fail to match the plates and the vege- : tab e dish is badly cracked. There is 1 a n ck out of one side of the platter, and half the cups have their ears off. , I What a sad state of affairs, especially 'r on company days! v just loveua new set of dishes! And they don’t need to be expen— . fi-i‘Ve-e—J‘ar from it! Old fashioned blue fw'fiaow ware is particularly lovely for the farm home, or a plain white pat- . terlfwith a scalloped gold border. Several members of the family can club together to buy this gift of gifts : for Mother if one can’t finance it. One hint, though—always buy dishes . from open stock, because, then, when a piece is broken, it can easily be re— ~ placed and the set kept intact. Would Mother like a new dress? : Well, what woman wouldn’t! Or a . pair of silk hose, or galoshes for _ the cold and wet months of winter. , Look around her kitchen and see 1 what she needs to make her work ; easier. A waterless cooker is the ‘ pride of every woman’s heart who ' owns one. A handmade tea wagon to carry dishes and food from the kitchen to the dining room and vice ’-versa would save her loads of steps. ': Pretty glassware is a gift that few housewives can resist. Goblets, V salad plates, and sherbet glasses are ' made in such lovely shades of rose, amber, green and blue that they are , sure to be welcome in any home. , FATHER: What to give good old is sometimes a perplexing prob- ». m.

Think how he Would enjoy sitting down after supper lis- tening to music from Detroit, Chi- cago, or Grand Rapids, getting up-to- the-minute market reports, and on- Sundays when it is too cold to go to church, hearing a good sermon right at home. It is a good way to keep in touch with the world and abreast of the times, not only for Dad but the entire family. When he comes in chilly and may- ‘ be a little wet, too, fro-m doing the evening chores, it would be very pleasant for him to be able to slip into a pair of cozy house slippers. A smoking stand to place near his favorite chair is a gift that would give him unlimited satisfaction. Or, if he hasn’t a comfortable chair all his own, there is no question but what he would welcome one. Fleece- lined gloves will keep his hands warm on the long drives to town, or a new pipe would be a comfort to him. DAUGHTER: Pajamas are so pop-' ular nowadays, that if Mother or older sister is Wondering what to give the young miss she should im- mediately snatch at this suggestion.‘ Every girl in her teens craves them. And they are especially attractive when they are made of contrasting material. The pajamas may have for the trousers plain robin’s-egg blue outing flannel or sateen and for the top an all-over floral design in flan- nel or sateen in which there is some blue. Or the trousers may be black and the top a bright red with per- haps a black bird appliqued on the pocket or front of the blouse. Pret- ty pajamas may also be made of contrasting colors in cotton crepe. A string of the popular choker beads in crystal, amber, or blue would make big sister feel very dressed up. Also, a pair of washable gloves, in Chamois or suede—finish material, are very practical as well as being quite in fashion. For the younger daughter, from 6 J to 12 years, we recommend a warm and woolly bath robe. Imagine it made up in a lovely shade of blue flannel (heavy weight), or bright turkey red! It also would be very smart and good looking-in striped material. Sweaters, leather jackets, bedroom slippers, books, boxes of paints and drawing books are extremely wel- come gifts for the youngsters. SON: A fleece-lined leather jacket or sheepskin—lined reefer will be appreciated by the younger mas— culine members of the family. A pair of ice-skates or a toboggan slide is always greeted with loud cheers, too. For the boy who is just begin- ning to shave, a. safety razor would make him beam with joy. Of course, warm gloves, socks, and scarfs are always in demand. For the older son, a silk scarf for dress-up occasions would make a very nice gift, or a pair of suede or pigskin dress gloves.

F. family as a Christmas gift, if they are not already? For one’s feminine neighbors, gay aprons are always acceptable gifts, as are like—- wise linen crash dish towels. The new wool bouquets are easy to make and add a pretty note of color to a coat or dress.l(If you want instruc- tions how to make these flowers we will be glad to send them to you.) For the family in general, sub- scriptions to good magazines and papers provide much pleasure. Every farm home should take a daily paper to keep up with the news, a county weekly to know What’s going on in its community, a good farm paper, such as the M. B. F. aims to be, The American, perhaps, which is of inter- est to everyone°but is more mascu- line in its tendencies, and The Wo- man’s Home Companion or The La- dies’ Home Journal for the women.

Now we want to get the low-down on the prbper way to make an introduction before she comes. She’s never been to visit us before and we want to do things right—E. M., Kent County. -—-The general rule is that younger women are presented ' to older women and unmar- ried women to married ‘women, as for ex- ample: * , v ' ‘ “Mrs. Brown, may I present my cousin, Miss Gray? ' ‘ ' ' ' Men are usually presented to women, unless the man is very, very much oder than the woman, as: “Miss Gray—Mr. Brown." ’ Among people you know very well, an informal introduction is always best. such as: v “Irene, may I present Mr. Boyd? Harry, this is my cousin, Irene Gray." Among young unmarried women of the same age, this form of introduction. is good: “Irene, I’d like to have you .know Ruth Hunt. Ruth, this .is my cousin, Irene Gray,” Recipes MORE THANKSGIVING MENUS For those who are planning not to have the traditional turkey dinner we offer the following menus: , . I.

Although he was ,singing, he wanted for bread, ' Although he was smiling he wished him- self dead. I looked on this poor boy out in the snow, He had no home to shelter him, no place to go. No mother to guide him (in the grave she lay low). Cast on the cold streets was poor little Joe. Chorus : Cold blew the blast, down came the snow; He had no home to shelter him, no place to go, , ' No mother to guide him (in the grave she lay low). Cast on the cold streets was poor little Joe. A carriage passed by with a lady inside; I looked on poor Joe's face and saw that he cried, He followed the carriage; she not even smiled, '\ But fondly caressed her own darling child, I looked on this waif and I thought it was odd—— Was this poor ragged urchin forgotten by God? And I saw by the lamplight that shone on the snow, The pale deadly features of poor little Joe. , Chorus : The lights had gone out, the clock had struck one-— Along came a policeman whose duty was done, You could tell by the sound of his dull, heavy tread, You would think he was sinking the / graves of the dead.

I knew that if I did continue, it would mean a lot of hard work fitting my calf for the show, being in the judging work and taking part in club activities. At one of our first meetings, a surprise came when Mr. McWilliams of the Detroit Creamery Farms, represent- ing the Rotary Club, announced that the all-around county calf club champion would receive a trip to the ,National Dairy Exposition at Mem- *chamripre phis, Tenn. This gave all the boys ambition to carry on the work all the year. I worked hard myself all the year, exhibiting my calf at both the County and State Fair. I also took part in the judging work at both fairs. At the close of the sea.- son, I gave my DairyCalf Club Rec- ord book to Mr. Murphy the County Agent, who forwarded it to Mr. Pearson, the State Dairy Calf Club Leader, for examination. In that report, I had an accurate record of all feeds and other expenses. and a story of the club work. After Mr. Pearson had graded the reperts, he conferred with Mr. Murphy, Mr. Mc- Williams and, Mr. Little, the local leaders, regarding who should be chosen county champion. After a, short time, I was very, glad .to hear that’ I, was the county, champion-and was therefore. going to the, National Dairy Exposition. " ‘ I left East.

It costs no more, for in- stance, to house, feed and care for a good milker than a poor milker. After actual expenses are met every quart of milk is net profit. What other effort on the farm. will pay you so hand— somely as intensive milk—production? Let Kow—Kare work for you this winter. Use it -as thousands of- other money- dairies are doing—to systematically regulate and condi- tion your cows so that they are able to turn their food into big milk yields. A few cents per month per cow pays for all the Kow—Kare needed—a mere fraction of your certain returns. . ' For cows about to freshen, give a'tablespoonful of Kow—Kare at feedings for two or three weeks before and after calving. It builds vigor to stand the strain of calf—birth, and to resist disease. Barrenness, Retained Afterbirth, Abortion, Bunches, Scouts, Lost Appetite, etc., are all suc- cessfully treated with Kow—Kare. Full directions on each can.

John Lange, Montevideo, Minn. A million farmers, about one fifth of all those who raised hogs in the United States last year, cured their meat with Edwards Old Hickory. the original and genuine smoked salt. Thousands of them have written grateful, enthusiastic letters like the above, telling how Old Hickory has saved timehlabor, meat and money; ——how it has ‘ prevented spoilage during cure and if done away with the fire risk and excess meat shrinkage of the old method of smoking. But chiefly they tell of that marvelous flavor of genuine hickory wood smoke mingling with the natural meat . . TRADE MARK REG. us.

This fact is brought out in circular 1-C entitled “Testing Cows for Pro- duction Every Other Month,” by Dr. J. C. McDowell, dairy husbandman of the United States Department of Agriculture. As the title suggests, the, method involves testing every other month or six times a year, in- stead of every month or twelve times a year as in the regular association. In other respects the two methods are alike. . The circular concludes: “It is not expected that the method of testing every other month wil take the place of the reguar dai y’herd im- provement association method but that it may find its own place in these districts where the dairy herds are small.” The circular may be obtained by writing to the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, -Washington, D. C. u—v FEEDING RYE I have a quantity of rye which I wish to use for feed. Is it good for hogs? If so, in what proportion'can I feed it in connection with ground corn, oats, wheat, middlings, and bran—any or all of these? There is a lot of rye grown but I cannot seem to find any feed formulas which con— tain it. Is it good for any other stock? Ear corn hard to get and prices for ground corn too high. Am feeding a. commercial supplement containing minerals and tankage..——- .J. L. C., Bangor, Michigan. R for a hog feed as is either corn, wheat or barley. The rye is not as palatable as the other grains and the pigs do not eat it with a rel- ish as a result of which they gain more slowly when fed on rye and show a. higher feed requirement per 100 pounds of gain. Best results are ' obtained in rye feeding when it does not constitute more than one half of the ration and when it it is fed in combination with skim milk. _With the feeds which you mention in your letter it would be my judgment that the best ration for your hogs would be one consisting of 50 per cent rye, 25 per cent cats, 25 per cent corn or wheat fed in connection with skim milk, using about 3 pounds of milk for each pound of the grain mixture. Bran is not a satisfactory hog feed and middlings are quoted rather high at the present time. If mid- dlings are quoted higher than wheat per 100 pounds it would be cheaper to use the wheat rather than buy middlings as 100 pounds of wheat is worth considerably more for feed than is 100' pounds of middlings. Rye is more satisfactory as a hog feed than it is for any other class of farm livestock. Considerable cau- tion, hOWeVer. must be exercised in YE is not nearly as satisfactory wnnrunn BREE “I am sending you a picture Association, at Wexford county, otwhl Wextord county. “His mun chi e is Norman We have taken your firm: overlain v m. m", so; _ ‘ I.

' Brown, Husbandry, M SEPARATOR SLIME Would like to know the cause and remedy, if there is any, when we take the separator apart there is a slime on the shell. The cow was fresh in July and seems to be as healthy as ever. She has always been a heavy milker. I feed corn and cob and oats ground and a dairy feed, mixed with it, com fodder and alfalfa hay—‘D. J. R;,-'.Bur1ington, Mich. HIS is whatvis known as separ- T ator slime and consists of insol- uble salts, dirt, Casein, cellular elements and micro-organisms. ' This material is found after separating all milk to some extent. However, some cows that have an infection of the udder, such as garget; if this con— dition is found to a marked degree, and also if there is dirt in the milk through careless handling of the milk which tends to increase the amount of slime. I do not think there is anything that you are feed- ing your cows that would cause ex~ ceptional disposition 'of this mater— ial. It may bevthat the cows in question are suffering from garget or some similar infection—J. E. Burnett, Assoc._Prof. of Dairy Hus- bandry, M. S. C. RESERVE PREFIX NAMES IXTEEN Michigan breeders of pure—bred Holstein-Friesian cat- tle have recently reserved prefix names for their exclusive\ use and have registered these names With The Holstein-Friesian Association of America.‘ Myron S. Howe and Company of DeWitt, will use “Flowerland” as the trade name for their herd.“Tess- home” is the name selected by Ar— nold C. Tessin of Freeland; “Merry Acres” by Robert E. Hopkins of Al- legan; “Vanholm,” Mr. and Mrs. Russell Van Camp of Croswell; “Grand Plain” by Charles M. Burk of Dowagiac; “Kreifarms” by A. L. Cridler and Sons of Middleville; “Elm Loft” by Samuel J. McCreedy, Colling; “Idealholm” by William Boonstra of McBain; “gym” by Al- bert L. Lederer of Auburn, and “Hard-to—Beat” by O. L. Burdick and P. W. Spender of Shepherd. Harry W. Ballinger of St. Johns will use “Pine Drive” as the trade mark name for his herd. “Breezy Valle” will be used by Joseph Johnson of Marne; “Olivet Echo” by Everett P. Reynolds of Olivet; “Eustis” by De— Loughary Brothers, Bark River; “Principia” by Richard P. Rose, Turner, and “Elmlot’? by Glen R. Clarkson of Brown City. The purpose of prefix names used by breeders of purebred Holstein- Friesian cattle is tofacilitate the naming of animals and to identify the various herds. -Nearly 7,000 breeders in the United States now use these registered names regularly. 4" e’ o daisa rather of“ monies "" tail. ,.... u s any“-e~rgot or" : . ‘ w worms IN noes Will you please tell me what is . the best thing/for worms in hogs OR worms in hogs: _Oil oi! cheno- ' podium.~11,fi .ounces; castor oil, 1 quart.

AM‘ not sure that anything can be done but you may try the fol- , lowing: Get some lodlzed salt and steamed bonemeal and mix them equal parts; give this cow 5 to 6 tablespoonsful each day on the feed. ADVICE SAVED COW . OME weeks ago I wrote your vet- erinary editor regarding a. cow — showing lymptoms of gastror- rhea. He diagnosed it as “wooden tongue.” Upon examination I Judge You were right for the tongue was en- larged and stiffened. Administration of the prescription suggested did the work and she is now about well. I am very grateful for now she will not be a. loss but can be kept or dis- posed ot profitably.—-Albertus Brandt. Moor-croft, ‘Vyoming. A Also give her one tablespoonful of liquor potassii arsenitis on her feed 'night and morning for one month. LUMP JAW My cow has hard lumps on side at! lower jaw about size of a man's 'flst. One man said it was called lump jaw and was not catching only after it broke. and that there was nogcure for it. She eats good—C. ‘0. E., Manchester, Mich. THINK this must be lump jaw. No, it is not catching and if it has not affected the bone yet it can be cured up. Paint this with iodine two or three times each week. Then get 2 ounces of pottassium io- dide and dissolve in a quart of» water; then give this cow one table- spoontul on her lead night and morning for several weeks.

MIXED UP WITH TELEPHONE I have a one tube radio set that works fairly good but at times it goes dead as far as radio is con- cerned, but we can hear all of the local news from the telephone sys- tem. Sometimes it is several days before it gets all right, at other connections are about twenty feet from the ground connection of the telephone. I changed the ground, put it some fifty feet away, but it made no difference. I also changed the aerial which made no difference. This has happened some three or four times this winter.——H.

We had to cross the Mississippi again before we could get to Memphis. This time We crossed it on a toll bridge. We ar- rived at Memphis on Sunday evening as scheduled and ate dinner at the Boys’ Club Camp. Here all the 4-H club boys and girls ate while they were at the National. On Sunday evening the group sang several songs as well as a few individuals. On Monday evening the singing of sev- eral songs took place; each group from different states took turns do— ing stunts. During Monday and Tuesday, many 4—H club members took advantage of the free sight- seeing trips about the surrounding country. On Tuesday evening the announce— ment of the winners of the 4-H club judging contest also took place. In this contest, the Michigan team won sixth place. On Wednesday after- noon the boys and girls were taken on a trip over to Klinckes’ Dairy plant which supplies most of the Memphis trace with dairy products. Here each person received ice cream and a. bottle of chocolate" malted milk.

Hell?" 1 “Bredren,” he said, “do Lord make the world like a ball.” ' , ' . “Amen!” agreed the congregation. “And the Lord make two axles. for de world to go round on, one axle at de North Pole and one axle at de Souf Pole. "And do Lord put a lot of oil and grease in de center ob de world so as to keep de axles well greased and oiled.” "Amen i” said the congregation. “And then a. lot of sinners dug wells in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Lou'siana, Okla-' homa, Texas and Mexico and Russia,.and- steal de Lord’s oil and grease. “And some .d‘ayrdey will have all of de Lord’s oil ahdgrease, and dem axles is gonna. git hot.

The contest began November 1, and continued through 51 weeks. All birds entered in the contest receive the same care and are subjected to the same conditions of environment, so that eggs pro- duced are an accurate measure of the productive ability of the hens. A pen of 10 White Leghorns owned by Harry Burns, Millington, won first place with a production of 2582 eggs. Third place was won by another pen of White Leghorns, entered by F. G. DeWitt, Grand Blanc. Other Michigan representatives among the owners of the ten high pens were Karsten’s Farms, Zeeland; W. C‘. Eckard, Paw Paw; H. E. Den- nison, East Lansing; E. G. Kil— bourn,‘ Flint; and George B. Ferris, Grand Rapids. These men were also OWners of White Leghorns. Michigan poultrymen won four out of the five first places for pro— duction by Barred Rocks. Honors in this section went to F. E. Fogle, Okemos; John McClellan, Cass City; Herman Berndt, and Charles E. At- water, Cadillac. Three out of the first five places in the Rhode Island Red section went to J. Z. and D. H. Ballard, On— ondaga; C. N. Whittaker, Lawrence; and Mrs. John Goodwine, Charlotte. Birds from Iowa, New York, Ala- bama, California and Indiana divided honors with contestants from Mich- igan. The sixth annual contest started off the first of November with 1,200 hens from every section of the coun— try entered. One thousand of the hens will compete in the contest throughout the year, while the re- maining 200 will be used when nec- essary to replace those which fall by the wayside. Efforts will be made to equal the record of the fifth annual contest which has just closed, with an aver- age production for 51 weeks, of 194.02, as compared with 192.8 for the preceding year; 176.57 for 1925; 163.06 for 1924; and 157.4 for the first year of the contests, 1923.

HIM VEN with great care you cannot shovel together a poultry mash on the feed room floor and blend the ingredients to- gether properly. To lay to her capacity, a hen must.have a balanced ration, but when you put before the flock a poorly mixed mash they pick and choose, and the “early birds” get all the protein—too much for their good—while the weaker birds in the flock take what is left. None of the flock gets a balanced ration by such selective feeding. To feed all your hens equally well use AMCO EGG MASH HE perfect mechanical condition of AMCO EGG MASH is one of the chief reasons why it gives such uniformly high egg production. On AMCO EGG MASH each hen in the flock gets everything she needs to produce to her full capacity. AMCO EGG MASH is perfectly balanced. The formula was recommended by college poultry feeding experts. It is perfectly blended. The ingredients pass into the mixing line carefully gauged as to amount and come out in a perfect mechanical mix. This superior balance and mix alone make AMCO EGG MASH a far better proposition than home mixing. And the low cost of this mash removes any price advantage you may have had formerly in shovel mixing.

' Wheat Prices Nat Up to Ekpectations with Future Unpromising .By W. W. FOOTE, Market Editor. . GRICULTURAL conditions this year proved much more satis- factory than appeared prObable in the spring and early summer when, it ‘ looked as if the cold an drainy weath- er would never cease, but all things came to an end, and it was fortunate that the hot forcing weather came late, but in time to save the corn crop‘. Michigan is favored with good average crops of grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., and about the only seri- ‘ ous drawback at this time is the big fall in prices which has been wit- nessed in the leading grains as an in- evitable result of the large crops. Large marketing of new wheat is suf- ficient to account for the marked de- cline in quotations for that important Michigan farm crop stable crop, while the price of new corn has collapsed and the first offerings failed‘ to sell much above the prices paid a year ago. Of course, this means plainly that the only recourse for the corn grower is to convert it into beef and pork, and stock feeding this winter is bound to become an important branch of farming. Cattle feeding has paid stockmen unusually large profits this year,' fewer having been fattened than last year, and within a short time well finished cattle have sold at the highest prices paid since 1920. So far as general farming conditions are concerned no marked changes have taken place, and farm- ers are still dissatisfied with prices for most of their products. Leading merchants report that fall business has not been as good as last year, and many men are out of work. But 1926 was the most prosperous year in our history. It may be added that .farmers who are supplied with silos, corn huskers, tractors, and other farm machinery are coming out bet- ter than others. Low Price For Wheat The price for wheat and other grains remain on a considerably low- er scale than farmers had looked for early in the season, and any de~ cided change for the better is not likely to take place unless farmers curtail their sales or buyers increase their purchase. The new crop of wheat is moving actively in the Unit- ed States and Canada, and the only way to put corn higher is to feed it on the farm. Wheat continues to I sell at much lower prices than in recent years, December wheat having sold last year around $1.26 and two years ago at $1.52. The visible wheat supply is larger than in recent years, but the outlook is promising for, normal exports off wheat and aflour, as European requirements are estimated the same as last year. De« cember corn has sold about 15 cents higher than last year, while oats ,were 6 cents higher than then and _ rye nearly the same as a year ago at 99 cents. Rye exports have been large and accumulations small. The ‘goverment corn crop report is a sur- prise, the crop being estimated at 106,000,000 bushels more than that +0! 1920. * , Cattle Advance To $18 Prime beef cattle have advanced ., .‘to $18 on the great shortage, the highest point reached in seven years. Late sales were at $10.50 and up- ward, with the bulk of the steers going at $12.25 to $16.25. A week earlier steers sold at $9.75 to $17.75, a year ago at $7.50 to $12.50 and two years ago at $7 to $14.50. There is a great shortages, and heifers are up to $14.50 for the best. There is a V . much larger demand for stockers and feeders than can be met at $7.75 to $11.50, chiefly at $10 and over, with stock and feeder cows and heifers at $6 to $8.50. ‘ .\ Increased Hog Receipts , Excessive Chicago receipts recent- » cago market down to $9, the lowest .in'ce last July, showing a ,fall of *$‘ 40 in less than a month. ago hogs sold at $9.75 .to $12.10, two years‘dgo at $9.20 to $11.70 and ’ years ago at $8 to $9.80. Heavy :top thenarket, but "light: hogs , A year- are much wanted, while they com- prise a greatly increased proportion of the offerings. . For the year to late date seven western packing points received 19,185,000 hogs, against 19,141,000 a year ago, 21,- 813,000 two years ago and 25,912,- ' 000 three years ago. The' big ob- stacle to better prices is the, main- tainance of quotations for fresh and cured meats, being as high as ever in the retail shops. ~A GLANCE AT THE MARKETS (Market News Service, U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics.) (Special to’THE BUSINESS FARMER) RUIT and vegetable shipments were reduced last week on ac- count of colder weather, and prices advanced in several lines. Chi- cago hog prices recovered only slightly from the proceding week's decline, but livestock values went lower except on the higher grades.

Apples continued firm. Lettuce closed higher, and cabbage advanced in the principal shipping districts. Eastern grapes finished at fairly high prices. Com- bined shipments of 25 products de- creased to less than 20,000 cars, or 9,000 cars below the proceding week, and about 6,000 less than a year ago. Potatoes Hopeful signs appeared in the po- tato situation, due chiefly to lower temperatures. There was an advance of 10 cents per hundred pounds in Chicago carlot sales of sacked north- ern Round Whites, while Idaho Rus- seet Burbanks moved up 15 cents to wool market during the week. Prices, however, remain very firm, and prim- ary markets abroad continue to show general strength.- - - I - Wheat _ Premiums for high protein types of milling wheat continued firm dur- ing the week.

CORN AND‘ POTATO CROPS ICHIGAN’S 1927 corn crop has con- tinued to be favored, and October weather allowed the final maturing of 27 bushels per acre which is much bet- ter than was expected earlier, according to the crop report issued by Herbert E. Powell, Commissioner of Agriculture and Verne H. Church, Agricultural Statician for Michigan. The estmiated production of 39,582,000 bushels for the state is the shortest crop since 1917. This year 37 per cent of Michigan corn~Wentinto silos and 11 per cent was used—for forageror grazing, which leaves a." net grain 'crop of 20,583,000 bushels, of which 67 percent is merchantable.
