SCHEDULE MEETINGS FOR
CHICK GROWERS - ‘
avoiding excessive

methods of growing chicks to
a productive age will be subjects for
discussion in a series of meetings to
- be held in 20 Michigan counties this
year, according to a statement made
by the poultry department at Mich-
igan State College.
1 A group of poultrymen in each of
f the counties will attend four meet-
‘ lugs at which housing. feeding, and
. controlling the disease of baby chicks
‘-_ will be discussed by specialists from
the college. The local men will re-
lay this information to their neigh;
bors.  , ' .

A model der house will. be
built at the hom of one of the local
leaders in each county at the time of
the February meeting. The M. S. C.

HE following statement has been
made by W. 'M. Jardine, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, relative to

‘ the present high price of beef:

‘The present prices for beef, which
are «ca-using complaints and threats
of boycott in some places, seem un-

» duly high only because they are com-

'_ . pared with prices of the past few
§ years, which were ruinously low to

i the cattle grower. This year, for the
i first time since 1920, vcatti-emen as a
whole have received fairly remuner-
‘ stirs prices for their cattle. In the
i othersix years cattle prices were so
low most of the time that large num-
: bers of producers were forced out of
g the business and cattle numbers
_ have been drastically reduced.

"at various times in the past two

i -. years when I have addressed gather-

' tags of cattlemen I have called the

' i attention of the public to the fact

i, that the present situation was almost
’ certain to develop. The department
. also has issued many statements
‘ pointing out that cattle slaughter
was greatly exceeding production
and that sooner or later a sharp re-
: duction in W126? and W
.- prices must result. / V ,
“This was a situation which
should have been of vital interest t9
the consuming public. As long as
cattle prices were low and beef
cheap, however, consumers were un-
concerned as to the hardships of the
cattle industry .or as to th future of
the beef suply. Consequently the
1- situation was allowed to “Work itself

.MUCE ENTERS BANKS OF
STATE FARM CROPS “

“ LOOK into the future and 'a de-
sire to avoid losses occasioned
by lack of raw materials for use,

in their mills has led one of' Michi-

gaan manufacturers of paper pulp to
cooperate with Michigan State Col-
lege forestry department in a pro-
ject to make white spruce a new

crop for state farmers. .

Buyers of pulpwood find that the
supply ofspruce is decreasing at a.
rate that threatens a shortage of the
wood in the future. Six companies
in Michigan have an investment of
millions of dollars in mills that are
equipped to handle spruce for'manu-

facture into pulp. , I

These mills will have .to be re-
modeled at a great financial loss to
equip them to handle any wood that
requires a, different manufacturing
process than is used for spruco.

- The Port Huron Sulphite~ Paper
Company, Port Huron, two years
ago agreed to purchase White spruce
seed which would be planted and
grown .in the forestry nursery at
State College, and the young trees
sold to farmers at cost. The first
lot of, 200,000 trees will be distrib-

. uted this spring.

The trees should be planted on
moist, fairly fertile soil. The trees
grow to marketable age in thirty
years. Planting should be made on
ground. that is. not producing returns
from ordinary crops.

Jardiue‘Scys Beef Prices 'Not Too High

average of that of the last five years
if the cattle business is to be re-
established on a basis where the
number' of animals slaughtered does
not exceed the number of young ani-
mals raised. . .
“Another factor in the situation is
that distribution costs are much
higher than before the war. This in-
crease is due to a. very considerable
extent to increased wages and sala-
ries in the various industries and
trades interested in this distribution.

—Even when cattle prices in recent

years were actually below pro-war
prices the cost of beef to the con-
sumer was high, compared with pre-
war prices. Now, with the prices of
cattle no higher than necessary to
insure reasonable returns to the" in-
dustry‘ and insure adequate future
suplies, this increase in the cost of ~

- cattle must be paid by the consumers

of the beef.” -— _

Secretary Jardine points “out that
the cattle industry was expanded
during the war period so that when

the war was over the supply of cat.

tie and the possible production was
far greater than that needed during
peace times. During the process of

aliquidation of the cattle industry,
which took six years because o‘f the

time required to increased or ‘ de—
crease cattle numbers, prices were
held very low, part of the time being
below pre-war levels. In his Opin-
ion, the heavy losses taken by cattle-
men in the latter part of 1926, have

 amass _WEEK [at Michigan
'* State College started Lathe days

when timely, topics - for dim-y

sion were whetheropndt silage made
the cows teeth fall out and whether
or not-it was possible to grow alfalfa
in Michigan. Tractors were talked

of in whispers and the speaker who”

believed  such devil-wagons
would ever have any. practical use
was heated as ,a crack brained car-
penter of fables.

v The theory that steel plows poi-
ssned the soil was quite widely dis-
credited but every one knew that

when salt pork was laid down in the .

wrong time of the moon that the
pork barrel would yield up only rinds
and shriveled- pieces of meat. (Any-
one that got. himself up on a plat-
form and. said that the day would
come when a: five thousand dollar

, crop of fruit could be marketed to
people driving by the farm would
have found'himself in a padded cell
with a corps of attendants.

The art of farming is only one
generation past the days of the
reaper. Common farming practices
of today were then unthought of and
in a few more years today’s prac-
tices will be much derided. The
marcher in the agricultural proces—
sion must walk at the quickstep or
he will find himself far from camp at
sunset. ‘

_ -New methods of handling soils,
new brands of fertilizer, new sourc-
es and kinds of seeds, new cultural
practices, new harvesting machinery,
new labor problems, new marketing
facilities, new conceptions of feeding
and clothing the farm family, new
amusements. new means of transpor-
tation, and new systems of taxation
are a continuous source of interest
to rural dwellers today;

1 Farmers’ Fomm

Farmers’ Week, which is held this
year January 30 to February 3, is in—
tended to be "a farmers’ forum.
Speakers who are believed to have
information that would be of value
to the farmers of Michigan are se-
cured to talk at the general meet-
ings, afternoon and evenings. The
forenoons are, left open for the group
meetings of the associations that rep-
resent the special interests of the
farmers. - ‘ -

sociations, the four associations that

iness and social organizations that
enlist their membership for the coun-'
try hold their annuabmeetings dur-
ing the week. Many of the groups
hold banquets for which .a special
program is provided. ‘ ,

Meetings for farm wives are held
in the home economics building. The
progress in- the study of foods and
their uses has been as rapid as the
advance in other rural interests.
Clothes are always interesting and
the newer methods of. design will be
discussed.

Arrange Eight Shows

Visitors to the campus will find
eight shows arranged to show a part.
of the progress of rural life. The
grain show will exhibit, as a diplay
feature, the samples of Michigan
grains and-seed that won honors for
State at the International Hay and
Grain Show. These samples will not
compete for prizes. '

An innovation this year is the com,-
modity show. Each year, one Mich-
igan product will be chosen and an
exhibit will be set up to show late
practices in seed selection, cultural
methods, means of harvesting, and
ways of marketing. This year po-
tatoes are the commodity selected to
be displayed. The Michigan Potato

HEN the funds for carrying on
the work of testing cattle for
tuberculosis became exhausted

the first of this year it looked as
though all work would have to be
discontinued until July lst, of this
year, when the new appropriation
begins, but Gov.‘ Fred W. Green
saved the day by asking and receiv-
ing authority from the state admin-
istrative board to release funds for
the work until July 1st. _

The last legislature appropriated
$225,000 for the work during the
present fiscal year. This has been
spent and it has been estimated it
will take upward of $100,000 more
to carry on the work until July 1.

“The trouble has been that in ex;
amining cattle in Oakland county 15
per cent have been found to be re-
actors,” the governor told the board.
"As a result, the indemnities to the
owners of the cattle have run much
higher than was" anticipated.

states carrying on corn borer re—
search was accepted by the confer-
ence as a complete program for 1928

The engineering department at the
College is again giving an eleectrical
show. This event is of especial im-

‘ portance this year as the results ob-
tained on the Experimental Power
Line at Dansville have aroused a
great deal of interest in electricity as
a source of farm power.

Big Show of Potatoes

Sectional potato shows which have
been held this fall in the State have
drawn entries from 1,700 farmers.
A great many of the prize winning
exhibits at these previous shows will
compete at East Lansing. Last year,
the growers from the Mayville dis-
trict cut into the array of ribbons
that have always gone to the south-
ern part of the State, and, this year,
the potato raisers from southwestern
Michigan will enter tubers which
they believe will win prizes in any
kind of competition.

This year’s apple shew will demon-
strate that Michigan apples have ap-
pearance as well as quality. One of
Michigan’s newer agricultural inter—
ests will display their products at the
flower show, Since the quarantine
laws made the importation of bulbs

Testing of Cattle

“We have no intention of discon-
tinuing the work, and will carry it
on just as rapidly as we can. No
work will be stopped in any county
where original or re—tests are in
progress, although it is probable
work will not be started in any new
county until after July 1.”

Would Not Take Milk

Some weeks ago Gov. Green in-
fermed the state department of ag—
riculture that all testing work would
stop Jan. 1. At once Chicago and
Detroit notified the state health de-
partments that a ban would be
placed on Michigan milk from un-
tested cows if this action were taken.

A loud protest alSo went up from
thedairy interests of the state. The
governor later explained what he
meant when he was quoted some
weeks ago that no additional coun-
ties could be taken on until after
the beginning of the next fiscal year.

Mr. Cadrey said, includes a further

A large egg is of more value to, a
hungry man than a small egg but
there is a discrimination in price
against both sizes in trade channels.
Egg shows are held to give poultry
men a chance to examine properly
graded eggs. The grading is for
size, color, and shell texture. Last
year’s egg show at the College drew
200 entries and more are expected
this year.

Corn Contest Winners

Winners of the five acre corn
growing contest in the State will be
announced and the figures on yields
and costs of producing the winning
crops will be displayed at the grain
show.

The list of speakers includes Ed-
ward O. Wentworth, Chicago, who
has made an exhaustive study of the
influences of economic conditions in
the-city as a factor in affecting farm
produce prices. William Oxley
president emeritus of \
Ohio State University, will present
his conception of the function of the
Land Grant Colleges, Director G. I.
Christie, Purdue University, will re-
late his impressions of European ag-
ricultural conditions.

Professor W. H. Hobbs, University
of Michigan, will have as a subject,
“Explorations About the North
Pole.” Doctor Ada Arlett, Univer-
sity of Cincinnati, will discuss “The
Child and Its Parents.”

Members of the College staff will
appear on the programs to present
a" view of some of the newer phases
of, extension and research work that
have. been carried on during the past
year. The list includes President
K. L. Butterfield; Dean R. S. Shaw;
Professor 0. E. Reed,‘dairy depart—
ment; Professor V. R. Gardner, hor-
tcultural department; and R. Wayne
Newton, economics department.

Ketcham to Talk

The State Commissioner of Agri-
culture, H. E. Powell, will be chair-
man of the afternoon program on
Wednesday, February 1. Congress-
man J. C. Ketcham, Hastings, will
have a message to present on the
national legislation now in the con-
gressional hopper.

Representative Ketcham will be at
the College Thursday afternoon,
February 2.

Carried on Vigorously This Year

Bureau of Chemistry and Soils is
studying the possibilities in use of
insecticides and mapping the soil-of
the infested regions for' further cor-
relation and study of the infestation.

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco-
nomics plans by means of surveys
and analyses to furnish data on the
kinds of farming now being done in
each area, the methods of caring for
the corn crop, and the costs of con-
trol measures.

Anti-Thief Associations

Our fourth recommendation is
that county-wide anti—thief associa-
tions be formed.

associations of this kind that are

. Voperating very successfully. For
example, the losses from, poultry
t ieves in Cleveland county, Okla—

homa", used to be from $1,500 to
$2,000 a month. Then an anti-thief
association was formed and losses
drOp'ped off to almost nothing. In
fact, during the first three weeks of
its existence not a theft was re-
ported. .

The association was brought about
. -eighty farmers who asked the
county officials to meet with them to
“term such an organization. Every
, amner paid a dollar membership fee
.and signed a notefor $2 payable on

. a seriesof eight barley variety
tests conducted on Michigan
farms during 1927, the new Spar-
tan two-rowed variety gave promise
'ef being. one of the best barley vari—
,.tles now available for Michigan.
The Spartan is a variety which has
been' bred and developed by the
:Michigan Experiment Station under
the direction of Professor E. E.
4Down. It is a smooth-awned, two—
5rowed, very stiff strawed variety and
‘ apparently very well adapted to
:Mlchigan conditions.

’ 'In the past three years, this vari-
“any has out-yielded the well known
‘isconsin Pedigree, which is very
ider grOWn in this State, on an
average of twenty per cent. The re-
sults for 1927 shew that {it is still in
'thellead by a somewhat greater mar—

demand, with the understanding that '

the money was to be used for the
paying of rewards for thieves. On
top of that, the folks who were there-
chippedin a 'total of $300 right then,
just to' see that the reward fund got
a good start.

Every member marks his poultry,
and posts a sign at the entrance to
his farm stating that he is an associ-

ation member, that his chickens are

marked, and a. reward of $100 will
be paid for any thief caught and con-
victed. Also they had posters print-
ed regarding their association and
the rewards being paid for poultry
thieves. These posters were put up
in produce houses in all of the
towns in all directions from Cleve-
land county.

This association is an example of
what can be done in any community
-—-in your own community, if you
will but “start something." To form.
such an association you will need a
constitution and by-laws, of course,
and a form for the reward note
which all of the members should
sign. The following is a suggested
form for both:

Constitution and ByI-Laws -

Article I. Name—The name of

this association shall be the
Protective Association.

Article II. Purposes—The pur-
pose of this association shall be to
protect the farm property of its
members against theft, burglary, ar-
son and other crime and to promote

Article V. Reward Fund—For the
purpose of raising a fund for the

membership fee, all of which sum of
money in excess of the membership
fee shall be deposited to the credit of
the reward fund of the —————-—-————

SEND IN NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF DEALERS

we must have tit if our chicken thief eradication campaign is to '

be a success.

If Michigan had a poultry dealers’ license law, re-

Lansing, but it has not so we are going to 'compile our own list, with

your assistance.

In Eaton county, two fields were
planted, one on the farm 'of Joe
Lamie and the other on the farm of
S. K. Burleson, both of Charlotte.
On Mr. Lamie’s, 'five different‘vari-
eties were planted and the results
show Spartan" in the lead “with a
yield of thirty-three bushels per acre,
Michigan Black Barbless with thirty-
two and Wisconsin Pedigree with
twenty-six. On Mr. Burleson’s farm,
the Spartan gave a yield of forty
bushels, as compared to the twenty-
eight bushels per acre from Wiscon-
sin Pedigree.

On the farm of H. C. Lang of
Beaverton, Gladwin county, the Spar-
tan also~ was leading by over tWenty-
five percent. ' '

On an average for this year, Spar-

FERTILIZER FOR POTATOES

How many pfimds of fertilizer
should be drilled per acre on sandy
soil for potatoes? Does this bring
good results without manure?

N sandy loam an application of
0 about 600 pounds to the acre of
. a fertilizer analyzing aproxi-
mately two per cent nitrogen; 12 per
cent phosphoric acid and 6 per cent
potash generally gives good results.
Fertilizer maybe applied broadcast
and worked into the soil or if the po—
tatoes are planted with a machine
having a fertilizer attachment, fer-
tilizer may be sown in the row.

Fertilizers give the most effective
r‘esults when used to supplement
stable manure and other organic
matter in the form of alfalfa or
sweet clover sod. Usually, howeVer,
the commercial fertilizer will show
a material increase in yield even if
no stable manure is used—H. C.
Moore, Extension Specialist, M. S. C.

Farmers wishing to sell trees

other than shade trees, and by that
I mean evergreens and shrubs, must
also take out a license and have their
stock inspected—E. C. Mandenberg,

NEEDS WARRANT ,

Under the statute laws «of Mich-
igan does. the sheriif’s department

It Proves To Be / .
YEAR orso ago I read of a
poultry man who had a very
' successful poultry business. He
had a good strain of excellent layers
and they were fed a proper ration
for production
and housed in a
modern type of
house. He' be-
lieved in proper
ventilation an (1
had experiment-
ed with that
problem until he
thought he had
the, best. system
yet devised. How-
ever, a ventila-
tion system that
is ideal in mod-
erate weather is
not ideal in real
severe cold weather and, seldom can
one find a hen house thatis suffi-
ciently warm on zero days and at the
same time well ventilated. This man
found that a few days of severe
cold caused “a lower egg production
which was not easily regained, and
this setback interfered seriously with
the profit end of the enterprise.
There seemed to be only’ one solu-
tion to the problem and that was to
supply heat for the severe days and
nights. Accordingly a stove was in-
stalled and when there seemed a pos-
sibility that the temperature in the
house would drop more than six or
eight degrees below freezing, a fire
was started and regulated to keep
the thermometers at about twenty-
five. The idea was not to keep the
house really warm but to keep it
from getting really cold.

We built a brick chimney from the
floor in the potato storage cellar up
through the laying house to the roof.
The purpose of its construction was
to enable us to have a fire in the
cellar to dry up the excessive mois-
ture that sometimes gathers. we do
not have to fight frost in it. When
the chimney was built we put in flues
so We could have a heater in the hen
house, and this is to inform you we
have a good steady fire in it these
zero days and nights and when it is
ten below zero outside it is only
about seven below freezing inside.
This seems to be as warm as it
should be for all around success.
This cold has continued now for
several days and the egg production
has not lessened in the least, and

still the house is well ventilated. The
cost for fuel is about fifty cents per
day and it certainly is fifty cents well
invested.

The time has come when we farm-
ers must use every means available
to keep the dger correctly balanced
and it seemed folly to stand idly by V
and see s’ome little interruption like
a ‘severe cold spell change our profit
to loss if it can be avoided. I a
free to admit there are many of these
interruptions which are beyond our
control, but many of them may be
overcome. For instance, I once
knew a dairy man who was telling.
how much less milk his cows pro-
duced because of the cold weather.
He has a good barn and there is no
reason why a. drOp in temperature
should have lessened the production
very much if good judgment on his
part had been used to keep the low
temperature from interfering with
theicows but “aside from being a

'days found his cows turned out into
icy blasts to find their way to a stock
tank full of water and 3 ice,‘ mostly
ice. An axe wasusedevery day to

chop a hole or two where the cows

could reach the water. Did his cows
drink such cold water? Sure they
did, but-only enough to partly slake
their thirst, not one tenth what they
required to keep up an impaired milk
flow. ‘ Here was a little interruption
entirely within his control. A pro-
tected stock tank and a heater would
cost perhaps twenty dollars, and
while he did not know it he was pay-
ing for these every few days in les-
,sened milk production caused by
: “cold weather.” It is not impossible
- for the majority of dairymen to pro-

vide“ water “in the barn for the cows. '

‘Individual cups where .a cow may
drink whenever she is inclined are a
very fine arrangement but these are

not necessary in order to. let them'

have water in the barn.

Not far from here is a large
daiy farm and a. large tank is found
near the feed alley. This tank never
freezes but is kept just as cold as
possible and not really freeze. On

 

 

ERROR
HERE was an error in the form-
ula printed for our laying mash
in the Jan. 7th issue. The 100
pounds of Middlings were omitted,
which throws the mash out of balance.
It is: 260 lbs. yellow corn meal; 100
lbs. bran; 100 lbs. middlings: 100 lbs.
fine ground heavy oats; 100 lbs. meat
scraps (50%); 6 lbs. salt; 12 lbs.
ground limestone; 10 lbs. charcoal;
and 15 lbs. bone meek—L. W. Meeks.

 

 

cold or stormy days a pail is used to
give the cows their drink, it does not
take long to water fifteen or twenty
cows. Two pails are used and while
one is being emptied the other is be-
ing filled. This man contends that
exercise is required to keep cows in
good health but cows do not exer-
cise when turned out in cold freezing
winds. They will find the leeward
side of the barn and huddle together.
Not first class exercise!

Taxes

This is the time of the year when
if one man is alone he thinks of taxes
and where two or more men are to—
gether they talk about taxes. Seems
there is always someone to blame for
high taxes! If it isn’t the Governor
it‘s the road commissioners or if it
isn’t them it’s the supervisors! Not
many seem to think it’s the dear
people themselves, but I am inclined
to believe that a. certain amount of
the blame is to be placed on them.
And furthermore, they cannot be
blamed for making high taxes! Now
this seems a strange contention but
it is an altogether reasonable one.

Twenty years ago a man with a
family wanted them to live and be
like other people. Most families in
those days enjoyed their homes and
their clothes, their horse and buggy
or horses and surrey. The cost of
upkeep on the home, such as fuel,

furniture, etc., was considered . a
necessary expense. The cost of
clothes, maintaining horses, car—

riages, etc., was a. regular part of
necessary expense. As we look back
at those days we think the entire ex-
pense was not very much! Today
we could live very nearly as cheap as
we,did then. But we~don’t want to
live cheap We den’t want‘to wear
cotton stockings. We don’t want to
ride in buggies. We don’t want a

eweekly paper at one dollar per year

—we want a. daily at four dollars per ,.
,We don't want to heat just,’
one room—we‘wa-nt to heat the en-
tire house. “Result, it costs-us more

“to” live and we are to blame for the
.most ,of this added expense, but can
;we,,be blamed for wanting to live

;. a ' “lei-lure of your trees to bear

‘ causes. They may be all of one
self-sterile variety and need pollen
from other varieties to fertilize the
blossoms. -
Or the soil may be lacking in
.availa'ble nitrogen. This can be
remedied by appying nitrate of soda.
or sulphate of ammonia. to the soil
early in the spring._
Or fungus or insect pests may pre-
vent them from hearing a. crop. This
can be remedied only by spraying.

 

CANE BORERS

REATMENT for the cane borers
T should begin early in the sum-

shoots should be watched for dead
tips. Cut the dead tips a. short dis-
tance below the girdle. Carry 9. films-

and carry them out of the patch and
burn them. Immediately after (the

them all out of the patch and burn.
It might also be a good idea. to watch
for dead canes during the summer
which should be cut out and “burned.

' TEXT: “Train hon child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not
departjrom it." Prroverbs 22:0.

“ 00 many of us are too well edu-
cated.’f Coming from a college

7 leader, this assertion startles.
We‘ rub our eyes open to see where
we are. {We have always been hear-
ing that not-"encug‘h of us are» well‘
educated. But the speaker pointed
out that much- of the popular book-
learning of the daywas robbing the
youth of the lov-ve of work and worth.
He’s a smart young man alright
and popular with the high-school
crowd ; but he is not decent company
for your daughter. They are legion.
But let us have a little, compassion.

There is no highpressure emphasis.

upon .the - essential of‘ ,character-
content ingour educational system.
And in essence, this is a religious
problem. But according to our Amer-
ican system of the separation of
church and state, there is no place
for religion in the sch-001 curriculum.
Therefore, the responsibility must be
carried by the home and church, to
teach religion in these more intimate
center‘s. Religion, after all, is such
a domestic grace. The whole book
of Proverbs, from which our text is
taken, emphasizes particularly, the
training of children at home.
Now, fundamentally, parents in
their own character and conduct,
must translate character to the chil-
dren. This is important because it
will supplement for many defects in
their formal attempts at training and
nurture. That is a great word in
the Decalog which warns us away
from falsefgo-ds because such iniqui-
tous worship would be visited upon
the children, fer generations. A
father who lives nearlGod, makes
God real torhis Children. John Paton,
the missionary, tells of'a small room
in his humble childhood home that
his father used to frequent'often and
close the door. He tells 'of the pa-
thetic pleadings of his father’s voice
and that the children would slip past
the door on tiptoe._ They came to
understand whence came the reality
.of that father’s good life. It was
God-sourced; God-inbreathed. A
Mother who holds particular‘con-
verse with Jesus as a friend will con-
fer lasting honor upon her children.
But all pious talking or praying will
be impressionless, even spurned with
disgust by the grown-up child, unless
there be back of these a life; a life
of reality; a hallowed friendship
that actually exists with the God of
the unseen. This is the home atmos-
phere that God intends during the
plastic years. Character is atmos—
pheric. And this principle implies
that the child can be made religious
or non—religious before the years of
conscious learning. Some of us have
lived to unlearn some things that we
had learned; but that which has be-
come a part of us in our early years,
which has become/elemental in our
moral make-up, challenges the world
of after yearsand the power of all
after learning, to blot out. .And
some child-psychologists" are now
telling us that character is shaped
during the first three years. .

' Now, what are the loves of your
home life at this moment? The writ-
er will always be a ruralist under the,
skin, if not actually; will always see
something indescribably« beautiful
about the country, because he ab-
sorbed this like in his early years.
He would like to be a boy again'
squeezing the mud up through his,
toes in the old barnyard stream.
Now,the child begins to love religiOn

in this absorbing way. ‘In education, ‘

absorption is vital as a beginning
process. And we absorb from the
people and things about us. If the

'parents, whom the child loves, are

held by the beauty and attraction of-
religion,‘that same religion, as a
heart possession, 'will capture the
child before it comes to the school
There
is something subtle and different

~‘ ,

abOut that religion which you caught,

in childhood. It sticks. It cannot
wholly be argued out of you. But
the opposite is also true; appallingly
true. If the parents are #Mammon-
lovers, So will be the children. Money
will be the principal thing with the

" young folks, and they will “look at

you in blank amazement if you try
to argue this aim out of' them.-
Hardly can it'be done. Millions are
,on their knees now'to this false god
in great ardor of emotion. This
devil stole in upon them in the be-
gipping years when they couldnot
resist him, and the parents would
not. The point is that if religion’s
holy ways prevail

porarily seduced at later times, they
will be restless and uneasy until
they return to their first love.

But one day,_the child wakes up,
the understanding begins to dawn,
he becomes critical, and asks many
questions. Then is when definite in-

in the home, ='
. though the children may be tem- .

struction must begin. “Hear, my son, ,

the instruction of a. father,” should
be a daily experience in every home.
In Worship and in education,
home can be made a literal Holy of
Holies to the childheart. Recently, a.
mother was the main speaker at the
ordination of her son in to the Gos-
pel ministry. She said, “That
(speaking of his birth) was our day
of dedication.
fulfilled now. ‘ * ’* It does not seem
long since that morning when God
placed you in my arms; I had no
feeling then that you left His arms
when you came to mine.”
ing God yet has His Hannahs! And
such mothers fire up the furnace of
religion seven days in a week. Tragi-
cal that we have so many critical,
bungling week-day parents! In these
six days the spark of religion burns
so feebly that the children get cold
and huddle up by the fires of pagan
gods. Sunday pretentious are bare
and ineffective, and therefore Chris-
tianity is being weakened in the very
place where it should be fullest of
vigor and strength; the home. Un-
less we can regain this home para,-
dise, the health of' the next genera-
tion is jeopardized.

The home-school is most impor-
tant‘ in fundamental education. All
other schools are important, yet they
fail too often in corroboration of the
basic elements of obedience, of work,
of purity, and of unselfishness; all
of which are first thingsin Chris-
tian character. But before they en-
ter the public school, many children
are started downward through the
soft, easy ways of the modern home.
Jazz,.automobiles, money and luxury
have begun, their disintergrating
work. Today we are getting familiar
with the type of girl who wants to
get married but refuses her husband
babies, home life, and the joys of a
help-mate; and the type of boy dull-
ing his moral instincts on the bare'
arms and painted faces of vain and
extravagant females. More often,
snob as these are the flotsam’prod-
ucts of unspiritual homes. “The fath-
ers have eaten sour grapes and the
children’s teeth are set on edge."
When the father becomes a priest and
the home a sanctuary, we shall have
children who are well established in
the safe and simple moralities. of
Christ, and who will not depart from
them when they are old.

 

We like the M. B. F. better every time
it. comes and the boys find it very useful
in their high school work in animal hus-
bandry and. also in their agriculture and
horticulture classes—Mrs. Nelson Sim-
kins. Tuscola County.

Alfalfa

ESTERDAY one of .my farmer
friends came into the laboratory
and wanted to secure some in-

formation on alfalfa. He wished to
plant a field to alfafa inthe spring
and wanted to
know if he would
be safe in seed-
ing it with bar-
ley. He 'men-
tioned that he
could sow the al-
falfa- alone but
needed some bar-
ley next summer
due to the short-
age of his corn
crop this fall. I
imagine t h e r e
are a large num-
ber of farmers
who have this Same problem. I ad-
vised him to sow the alfalfa seed
with the barley as one is quite sure
to secure a stand in this manner, and
he will also have 'an extra crop to
feed. We have a fine field of alfalfa
on Spring Water Farm and it was
sown in this same manner. I am

»going to sow another field in the

spring and I am going to sow it with
barley again in the same manner.
Alfalfa is an excellent crop for the
farm, and Michigan farmers can be
proud of the fact that this State has
more alfalfa than any other State
east of the Mississippi river. It is
not hard to raise either if the proper
methods are used. The soil however
must contain sufficient lime, good
seed must be secured and the seed

" should be inoculated witha good a1-

falfa culture. I gave my friend two
bulletins which! explain the growing
of alfalfa in detail. They are exten-
sion bulletins No. 23 and No. 35, and
can be secured by writing R. S.
Shaw, Director, Agricultural Experi-
mental Station, East Lansing, Mich-
igan.

Considerable information can be
secured from the free bulletins dis-
tributed by our state experiment sta-
tion and by the United States De—
partment of Agriculture. These bul-
letins are the last word on methods
and data covering every phase of ag—
ricultural work. ' Every farmer
should have a few of these free bul-l
letins which concern his certain type
of farming. A good idea would be
to write for a list of these available
bulletins. For a list of the United

Put One Over on Dad

'One of my students took some
samples of seed home with him a
few days ,ago to show to his father.
He came into the laboratory the next
morning and said, “I sure put one
He didn’t

- know the difierence between White

Sweet Glover and Yellow Sweet Clo-
ver, and he couldn't tell either of
them from alfalfa seed." His father
did not know buckhorn seed either
and yet this man is a quite prosper—
ous farmer. Here is a tip to the
farmers of Michigan: learn to know
your seeds. When you'buy seeds and
do not secure what you pay for you
not only waste your money but you
waste the crop as well. And while
you are learning to identify seeds
also keep in mind the significance of
the Gooding—Kelcham Law regarding
seed staining: this law states that
all imported clover and alfalfa seed
must be stained. Unadapted seed for
general agricultural use in United
States must;be stained 10 per cent
red. Other imported seed must be

colored one per cent. green with the '

exception of Canadian seed Which

When equipped with Big Bases,
the No. 2118 can be set so that
each base turns 19 inches.’ If
desired the frame can be nar-
rowed and 14-inch bases’us'ed.
It is adjustable for any width
from 14 to 19 inches per base.

OLIVER BIC BASES

After seeing the splendid work of the Oliver 18—inch Big Base as a ‘
sulky plow many farmers asked for the same base on a gang
plow. Oliver takes pride in offering to you the New—Different—

Better Gang Plow.

The Oliver No. 218 is not just another gang plow. It is the most
design in several decades and
its many points of advantage are commanding the attention of
farmers throughout all of the corn producing states. It has the -
same desirable features of great clearance and the same covering
qualities as heretofore found only in the Big Base Sulky. In
addition, it turns two furrows at the same time and thereby
speeds up or doubles the amount of work done.

Yen will like the way this plow handles heavy trash and turns
a clean, well—pulverized furrow slice. It will go into the heaviest
growth of stalks or weeds on your farm and turn every particle

outstanding development in plow

completely under.

It gets the Com Borer; you will not need to worry about
European Corn Borer Control measures, if you use the Oliver
Big Base plow. It does the kind of plowing that is recommended
by experts and authorities as a control measure against this
dreaded pest. Oliver Big Base plows turned thousands of acres
last spring in. the great war against the Corn Borer.

Ask your Oliver Dealer about the Oliver No. 218 Big Base Gang,
also write us today for free literature on European Corn Borer
Control. Oliver builds horse—drawn plows and plows adapted to
all makes. of tractors that can be equipped with these big bases.

FUNDS TO 'FIGHT CORN BORER

7E understand that the federal government
W does not intend to appropriate funds to be
used during 1928 in the European corn
borer quarantine'area for reimbursing farmers
who clean up their corn fields. It has been said
that farmers within this area can and should
reorganize their farming program so there «will
be no need of paying them. v
If the federal government refuses this financial
aid it will be making a very sad mistake. Any
farmertho cleans .his fields as he is supposed
to has‘to do considerable work at an added ex-
pense, not only'to protect his crops but the crops
of the farmers outside of the infested territory,
and .he deserves pay for that work. If he does
not get thatpay his clean~up may not ,be .very
satisfactory. ‘ !

PURPOSE OF SECURITIES
COMMISSION
HERE seems to be a general mis--
, understandings prevalent as to
v the purpose of the Michigan
Securities Commission. Some people

seem to feel that it the commission

passes on investment securities, they

are recommending them to the pub;
.lic.

This is not true. Quoting from
the act of Legislature by‘which the

" commission was created... We find that

“no order of the commission accept-
ing securities for filing shall be con-
strued as an approval 0‘! the merit,

value, or worth'cf such securities, '
and; any person who in any manner

reprgsents that the State, commis-
sion, or any officer thereof  re-
commended its purchase shall be
deemed to have violated this act."

Further the act requires every or-
der accepting securities for filing
shall contain the fOIIowing, “In ac-_
cepting this security for filing nei-
ther the State of Michigan or Michi-
gan Securities Commission havegun-
dertaken to‘pass upon the worth or
value? 05 the security mentioned or
to recommend its purchase.”

The purpose of the commission, to
quote again from the act, is “to pre-
vent fraud, deception and other se-
curities sold or offered for sale
within the State a: Michigan."

Just remember when you are ins
formed that the Michigan Securi-
ties Committee validates an issue of

PHYSECAL CULTURE.

I am writing you in regard to a
physical development course of-
fered by Earle E. Liederman of New
York. Do you- think this 'course
would harm a person?—Subscriber,
Kingston, Mich. .

~,HETHER or not the physical

development course would harm -
a person would depend on the v

present physical condition of that
person. It would be harmful to any-
one suflering from tuberculosis or
troubled with a weak heart. The

"trouble with most of the physical de- _

velopment .coursesis that their aim
is to buildup- powerful muscles and
little attention is paid to general
health. Physical exercise is bene-
ficial and necessary if we are to have

a healthy body but there are other .

things such as nutrition, personal

hygiene, lots of fresh air and sun- I

shine, and plenty of rest, that must
be considered. Just building up big
muscles will not make one physically
strong. I .
Anyone interested in keeping fit

need not invest in an expensive “de— -
velopment” course because the daily '

dozen will be just as beneficial and
far cheaper. Your family physician

‘ (Continued. from January 7th , issue)

“ OME of my men are following."he j
confided, “We may see what horses -

and "gold this settlement has-before
we go back. 'There is no great rush, but
perhaps I had better finish you off and
get to other work. Eh, sweetheart?”~

Duncan did not dare to look at her
again. He tensed himself. The quicker
the shot was fired and the alarm given,
the more time there would be for the men
of the hamlet to fight off the bandits, the
more chanceto rescue Agnes again. The
quicker he died, in other words, the better
for her. '

He took two quick steps and leaped.
There was a red flare in his face, and
a. terrific noise. He felt as if some one
had struck him with a club. Somehow
he was down on the floor; he felt the
’pressure of an uneven puncheon against
his cheek; after that,«things faded out.

He went, some time after that, into a
land where strange and terrible things
happened. _ There were nightmare that
outranked anything he had ever had. He
was conscious of moaning, of screaming
even. And in these nightmares, Duncan,
holder in his dreams than in life, held
Agnes in his arms. But always Locke
came between them, and always Duncan
was helpless. So he was tortured over
and over. >

After a. long time. he came back to a.
more familiar country. to a corn—shuck
bed, to a. room with walls of hewed
logs, to a consciousness of a. terrific ache
in his head, and of complete exhaustion.
About this time, a fat, complacent woman
came in and stood over him.

“Ah,” said she, “better, be ye? I reck-
oned as how that last batch of herbs
would bring you around.”

"Agnes?" he asked, and was surprised
to see how weak his voice was.

"Well enough, and still better when she
sees you so fine."

Duncan asked what had happened that
night. Had Locke escaped?

“Escaped? I should say not. Your lit-
tle girl killed him as dead as a doornail.
Picked up your pistol and shot him as he
fired at you. This is the sort of woman
to have in the back colmtry. You’re
lucky." .

»With Locke dead, it seemed that short
work had been made of the six that fol—
lowed hlm. They had ridden into ambush.
The ones who lived were forced to lead
the way back to their. camp. The fight
that followed had been short. A number
of trees had been decorated. A number
of horses and a good bit of money had
been brought back. There were no pris-
oners. .

She went out presently, but with a
grimace that at once pleased and con-
fused him. Her intentions were too evi-
dent. She was going to send Agnes in,
and was going to do it with the arch air
of a match-maker.

He watched the door. half angry, half
confused. Out in the woods again, he
would know what to say to her. Here he
doubted, and the very thought of saying
anything found his mouth suddenly very
dry. _

The door swung open with a hang.
Agnes Sawyer came running in. She was
over to him in an instant, her. gentle,
quick hands touching his bandages, his
face. '

“You are better, aren’t you?” she cried.
“My. I’m so glad! , I thought—I was

V:-.§"‘She paused. Duncan felt the warm
pressure of her body against his shoulder.
,He looked up. ‘ She was staring into space,
"her ,mouth' slightly open, her eye filmed
with drops not ready to fall. She was re-
calling ther “then-“of. course“. perhaps re-

 

calling, too, the night later when disaster ‘

of the same sort seemed to overtake her
again.

' To easeihe terror that,still hung over
her, Duncan raised two timid arms and
drew her to him. She suffered him to
touch her eyelids with his lips. Then with
sudden courage he tightened his arms and
kissed her full on the mouth. Was there

time to guess. She squirmed out of his
grasp, very pink, and seated herself on
the bedside.

“You'll hurt .yourself," she said, and
looked down at the floor. Then she went
on to tell how the men had agreed to turn
over to them horses to the value of those
lost in the first raid. Sawyer’s horses
were to be hers, and they were to drive
the rest down to Bethabara. A share of
the money also was to go to Duncan and
the girl. ‘ .

Duncan only half listened. ‘Her hand
lay on the coverlet. He moved his own
over to it,_swallowed hard, and daringly
placed his hand over hers. She faltered in
her talk, but went on. Her hand did not
move'. He pressed it, and presently it
turned and clasped his. Then he took a
deep breath and said: . ‘

"I’ll take you down to Bethabara. and
leave you with the sisters while I get a.
farm picked out. We’ve got- enough
money to get some tools and stock. In
six months or so, I can come back and
get you."

“You’re not seVenteen yet," she object-
ed. “That’s young to be marrying."

"I'm as old‘» as you are," he retorted,

“and. anyway, seventeen’s grown up in ‘

the back country". She was silent. “Isn't
it?” he persisted.

Perhaps her thoughts 'went back to that I

struggle by thereamp fire, the long ride
through the darkness, the days and nights
of terror, and their final escape. Duncan
was only conscious of his loneliness. of the
fact that whether she came with him or
not, he had given a. hostage to fate. Never
again would he know the old self-
sufficiency; For better or worse, his life
was bound up with hard. How closely, it
was for her to say. ' .
“You're grown up enough for me i" she
said, and leaned over to him.

, GARDEN SOIL

HE remarkis often heard from.-
“I Would plant

farm folks,

more garden crops if my soil
was adapted to that purpose." In
some cases this remark may be justi-
fied but as a general rule, a soil that
Will grow good farm crops, can be
put into condition for growing truck
crops, with slight improvements, pro-
viding it is well drained.

While most soil and garden au-
thorities usualy show a marked pre-
ference for sandy loams, as a mat-
.ter of fact our heaviest~ yields are
usually produced on soils of a some-
what heavier texture.

The writer himself is gardening
entirely in a soil that might be right—
ly classified as heavy clay loam, but,
by systematic drainage and cultural
and tillage methods it has been trans-

formed into a very desirable type oi 1

garden soil, from the standpoint 0
heavy yields, early maturity and ease
of tillage. Notwithstanding the gen-
eral traditions and belief expressed
by some authorities that clay soil is
slower to Warm up in the spring
there is no doubt in my mind but
what it will warm up as early and
in most cases earlier than most of
our sand soils.

It often happens that we find a
sandy knoll which is quick to warm
up but this same virtue often ren-
ders it incapable of carrying the
crops through to maturity due to its

~ lack of ability to withstand drought

which we often experience during the
early groWing season.

It is also true that sandy soils can
often be worked and planted under
conditions that would have a disas-
trous effect on heavy soils, which
means that we who are blessed with
soil of the latter type are compelled
to observe certain cultural and till-
age methods if best results are to
be realized. .

The effect of working clay soils
when too wet will often be noticeable
tor'two or three seasons after.

‘ As 'to building up a soil for truck
crops, the first requisite is ample
drainage either by tile or open ditch-
es as conditions at hand permit. The
next step is to provide the soil with
.humus forming material which is
necessary to enable the soil to hold
water during dry seasons and also
to provide a base for fertilizers to
work on. Where commercial or
chemical fertilizers are to be used
this is very essential as the lack of
humus is no doubt the most frequent
cause of soils failing to respond to
chemical fertilizers.

This ‘increase in humus may be
brought about either by the applica-
tion of well rotted manure or by
turning under green manure crops
such as rye or clover. I".

In either case it is advisable to use
some commercial. fertilizer as neither
of the above methods will furnish
the necessary elements to growing
plants in a balanced form.

In cases where manure is used the
fertilizer may be limited to a mix-
ture containing the mineral elements
only; i. e., phosphorus and potassi-
um. Manure will usually contain
sufficient nitrogen” Where green
manure crops alone are relied on a
complete fertilizer will be necessary
such as a. 4-8-8 or 4-8-6 analysis.
Small amounts of lime are also nec-
essary to correct soil acidity due to
decomposing of the green manure.

Our method is to rotate those

FARMALL in the Hay:

“We were told by the owner of a ZZOO-acre farm
that he had 400 acres of hay that would be lost
unless we found him a mower that would work.
He had tried a number of horse—drawn mowers, but

the crop was so heavy he had to give it up. We sent
him out a FARMALL tractor with 7-foot mower
attachment, and received a check for the outfit in
full the next day. It worked to the owner’s entire
satisfaction, and he is an enthusiastic FARMALL
booster.”— From our branch at Minneapolis, Minn.

doing the work formerly done by five to seven
tractors of other makes.

The FARMALL is thoroughly competent
to plow, harrow, culti’pack, drill grain, list corn
or peas, plant, mow hay, operate grain binder ..
and though we have not as yet used the culti’ 3 
vator, I know it will operate satisfactorily at that,
as we used your outfit in testing your machine
in 1925, and above all that we have used it on 
any number of belt jobs and find it the most 
economical tractor we have yet used. ; 

Please do not thank me for this as it is too "
well deserved. Repectfuuy,

NEW CHAIRS Felt OLD ,
; " _ “OMEWHERE around your house
" do you have a' big, old chair

    
 

look upon but is such a, Comfort to
sit in that you are loath to part with
' it? Perhaps, it became so much of
an eyesore that you have already
consigned it to the attic or the barn,
, with many a sigh for a really “easy”
' chair is hard to find, and when We
at last discard it, it is like saying
farewell to an old friend.

If, you have such a “relic,” drag it
forth from its hiding place. If the
framework is solid and good, the

a chair can be made to appear like new

2." 'again by the simple expedient of
making a slip cover for it to hide

, its shabbiness . The use of slip cov—
ers to protect upholstered furniture
during the hot summer months is,
of course, a familiar custom. Grad-
ually, hOWever, inexpensive and
easily freshened slips are being used
the year around in many homes as a
means of restoring worn-out uphol-
stered furniture to a place of dignity
and usefulness.

Keep in mind that your slip cov’-
ers are going 'to be a definite part of
your home furnishings, and select
materials and covers that will har-

   
   
   
    
  
   
   

 

   

  
 
  
  
  
  
 
    

 

Choose a patterned or a plain fabric
that is tubta‘st, durable, an dnot easi-
ly mussed. Cheap material that fades
and runs with the first washing is no
eConomy; it is better to pay. a little
better price and get something that
will “grow old gracefully.” Figured
cretonnes, denims, and linens are
good. Percales and calicos are also
frequently used, and the effect pro-
duced is quaint and lovely when the
slips are finished with fluted, shirred,
'or finely pleated ruffles and bound
"with straight or scalloped hems.
The textile used determines the
style of your chair’snew dress. A
heavy material would be inconsistent
made up with oustanding ruffles;
use, instead a box—pleated ruffle that
will lie flat, or leave the slip perfect-
ly plain. .
First of 'all, if your chair is one
of the “gingerbread” variety with a
.lot of funny little knobs and pro-
~ jections, take a hand saw and re-
. move them. They are entirely un-
necessary and your slip will fit bet-
ter. without their presence. The
next step is to make a paper pattern
by which to work. Start with the in-
side back of the chair and seat. It
~ a-figured textile is used, remember
« that the inside back of the chair is
‘ the most noticeable part, and the
first consideration must be given to
’ adjustnig the design of the material
to this conspicuous section.~ The de—
sign must likewise be centered on the
chair seat. When the sections of the
pattern have been satisfactorily
fitted to the chair, notch the

seams that require easing. With
a crayon or soft pencil, mark
the actual seam lines on the
pattern while it remains on the
chair. Then remove the pattern
and trim the edges of it as evenly
as possible all the way around. In
cutting the material, allow ample
room for the cloth to give without
straining and tearing when the chair

. is sat in. '

After all sections of the slip cover
have been cut and fitted, the sewing
begins. The easiest way, to make a
slip cover is with bound seams, thus
eliminating the confusion of turn-
ing it in and out. 'The basted seams
are reinforced with machine stitching
and then the tape or fold, perhaps of
a contrasting color, is stitched in
place. Or inside seams may be made,
overcast to prevent raveling and
pressed flat to make them indistinct
on the right side. The slip cover may
be finished by an “apron” in front, or
by a pleated or rufiled “skirt’f all the
way around the bottom of the chair.
This point must be determined by
the style of the chair in question.
The back, in one piece, is separated
sufficiently at a side seam where it
either snaps' or buttons together.
This allows space for removal with—
out strain.

How to determine the amount of
material to be used: Measure width
of chair at widest part; this deter-
mines the minimum width of ma-
terial that can be used. Measure
inside back of chair from extreme
top to seat; add three inches for
tuck-in where back joins seat to al-
low-for give-and—t‘ake when chair is
in use. Measure seat from back to
front edge; add three inches for
tuck-in at back. Measure inside arm
from outer seam, over top, and then
downWards»~ inside to seat; add two
inches fur tuck-in at bottom.
Double this measurement for two
arms. Measure outside arm from
upper seam to floor. Double this
measurement also. Measure front
apron of chair from front seam to
floor. Measure‘outside back of chair
from topmost seam to floor. Measure

cushion, if any, for two sides; both 1
sides of cushion covered will double

the service._ Add sufficient inches
for boxing cushion on four sides, if
material is not wide enough to sup-
ply this amount from side cuttings.

Use more unrefined than refined cereal products and other seeds,

CHILL POPCORN TO MAKE IT POP
F old popcorn won’t pop, put it out
in the cold for a few hours. If
it still refuses to pop, feed it to
livestock. Chilling it will make good
popcorn break into much larger ker-
nels. Quick expansion of air inside
the kernel makes it pop and the
quicker the expansion, the nicer the
corn will be.

Beef Tallow.—Will'you tell me ho'w to
make beef tallow?—-M. D., Ingham County.
—The method of making beef tallow is
very similar to that of rendering lard. The
beef tallow which is to be used should be
thoroughly cooled out, well washed, then
chopped into small pieces, or better still,
put through a sausage grinder, and then
rendered in a kettle the same as lard.

The best grade of tallow will be obtain-
ed by heating for; several hours at a. com-
paratively low temperature, that is, below
the boiling point, keeping it stirred while
heating. After being well melted it should
be allowed to settle for a few moments
and then some salt added to further facil-
itate the settling out of the fiber.

For the Movie Fan

 

 

Camille—Norma Talmadge declares
that in the title role of this modern version'
of the famous romance of Alexander
Dumas she has given to the world her
masterpiece. Certainly it is the best
thing she has done to date. And I must
not forget to make special mention of the
fine work of the young Spanish actor,
Gilbert Roland, who plays the part of
"Armand," who is the one true lover of
"Camille." He looks much like John Gil-
bert and displays real ability.

"Camille" is a French girl who rises
from humble employment in a glove
store to undisputed reign over the gayest
set of Paris. Many wealthy men love her
but she considers all lovers lightly until
she meets “Armand.”

N ELLIE GRAY

There’s a low green valley on the old
Kentucky shore

Where I’ve. whiled many happy hours
away.

A-sitting and a-singing by'the little cot-

Where lived my darling, Nellie Gray.

Chorus (1-2)

0, my poor, Nellie Gray, they have taken
you away,

And I’ll never see my darling any more,

I’m sitting by the river and I’m weeping
all the day

For you’re gone from the old Kentucky
shore.

When the moon had climbed the mountain.
and the stars were shining too. '

Then I’d take my darling, Nellie Gray,,

And we’d float down the river, in my lit-
tle red canoe

While my banjo sweetly I would play.

Hark! There’s somebody knocking at the

  Eat

 

 

“Eat lots of vegetables” is the cry of
the food specialists, but how tired We
grow of always having them served the
same way. Here are some new ways of
preparing them:

“ Cabbage, onions and celery, ofall vege-

 tables, lose most of their minerals in cook-

ing. For this reason they. should be eaten
raw or cooked with greatocare. Cabbage

should be boiled a very short time, just'

long enough to make it tender. Cooking
cabbage for an hour leaves it not only
brown andlunattractive, with a disagree-
able and unnatural flavor, but also makes
it difficult to digest. If correctly boiled,‘
cabbage is excellent when creamed, scal-
loped, cooked in rolls or served merely
with butter, salt, and pepper. Onions
baked in their skins retain their natural
.navor as well as their minerals and the
greater part‘of their vitamins. Celery
boiled twenty to thirty minutes in very
little water is delicious creamed or scal-
loped.

CarrotS.——Very few people like carrots,
a‘s they are usually diced and creamed.
If prepared this way everyone will ask
{Or more: parboil a bunch of carrots until
they are fairly tender, then slice the long
way, roll in beaten egg, then in meal, and
try to a delicate brown. Don’t boil too
tender, as they fall apart before frying.

 

Escalloped Corm—ln a buttered baking
dish alternate layers of canned corn and
cracker crumbs, making the last layer of
crumbs. Dot with butter, cover with milk
and bake until top is nicely browned.

Squaw Dish—Dice about -3 slices bacon
and fry. Add 1 can Corn and allow to
heat. When this begins to boil, add 2 eggs
well beaten and allow to cook slowly until
eggs have thickened, stirring constantly.

Casserole of Corn and Peas.—A. can
each of corn and peas is used for this dish
which may serve as the only vegetable of
the meal. Put the corn, peas and season-
ing in the casserole dish in layers, moist-
ening each layer with lefteover canned
tomatoes or tomato puree. Corn should

make the top layer. Bake for twenty

‘minutes.

Scalloped Vegetables.——To prepare veg-
etables for quick scalloping, they are
cooked, combined with a cream sauce and
then alternate layers of the cooked cream-
ed vegetables and bread crumbs are put
into a greased dish with, a top layer of
buttered crumbs. The dish is then put
in the oven until the crumbs are brown.
Onions, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, or caul-
iflower, or patoes and onions may be pre—
pared in this why.

Foundation Recipe—Cream Sauce.—
Take 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons
flour, 1% cups milk, 174: teaspoon salt, 1/‘
teaspoon pepper, and dash of paprika.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in
the flour and mix well together; add the
milk and seasonings, and cook, stirring
constantly until it thickens. Keep in a
warm place, preferably in the upper part
of a double boiler’until it'isn-eeded.

'Cabbagc Salad No.

bage, grated raw carrot, grated onion
(small proportion) with cooked or may-'
onnaise salad 'dressing.

Cabbage Salad No. 2.——-Cut the cabbage
in halfand let stand in cold wtaer for one
hour. Drain and shred very thin with a
sharp, knife or on a grater. Season with
salt. pepper, and one table'spoonful
of. sugar. ‘ Cut two; thin slices of
rather lean bacon "in small squares.
Place in a small pan to brown, cool slight-
ly and pour over the cabbage, mixing
lightly with two forks. Mix 34, 'cup' of
vinegar and 1,4, cup of water and pour over
the salad. Either red or white cabbage
may be used. , ,

I was badly ruptured. while lifting a.

the rupture has never returned. although
I am doing hard ,work» as a carpenter.

crest of one wave to the crest of an~
other and is usually measured in me-
ters. A meter is about 39 inches.
Thus you see that a broadcasting
wavelength of, say 300 meters,.is a
very long wave compared with most
water waves. Now it is a peculiarity
of these radio waves that they al-
ways travel with the same speed re-
gardless of their wavelength. This
speed is approximately 186,000 miles
per second or 300,000,000 meters
per second. That is certainly pretty

Now about that station log. For
certain technical reasons the broadi
casting stations are: spaced just ten
kilocycles apart from 550.. to 1600
KC. That means that there are 95'
broadcasting channels. The, ideal
station leg. is a long strip of paper
having 95 (or is it 9.6.) lines-hum:
bered from 550,560,670, eta, up to
1500. On each line there is room
for the dial readings and for the call
letters of 5‘ or 6 stationssince‘most
of the stations share their channel
with several other stations. To pre—

pare such L- log, first number thea,

strip of paper. Then 1001: up in the-

news paper the frequency (or. figure-.

it out if the wavelength is given) of
each station which you hear. '" Put.
doWn the call letters of the stations
and their dial readings on~your set
opposite the proper frequencies on
your log. You will notice that your

dial numbers will steadily increase or .

decrease as you pass down the log
instead of being hit and miss as is
the case with the usual list of sta—
tions. Now suppose that the Federal
Radio Commission changes one of-
your favorite radio stations to a new
frequency. Instead of changing the
dial numbers on "the log, you will
just move the call letters to the new.
frequency, and the chances are that
you will already have dial numbers
recorded for this frequency or one
near to it and so will be able to find
your station at once without hunting“
for it. .

With freezing weather come special prob-
lems in the dairy barn. To keep winter’s
thieving fingers out-of the milk pails your
cows demand plenty of the right kind of
~ food. They just as urgently demand that
their vigor be built up and maintained so
that this rich, dry diet can be completely
assimilated—turned into milk. Other-
wise part of your high—priced winter feed-
ing goes to waste.

This winter join the armyof dairymen
who are now systematically conditioning
their cows to meet the added winter-
feeding burdens. Kow’Kare does this job
for you surely, conveniently, profitably.
This famous concentrated regulator and
conditioner has active medicinal ingredi-
ents that strengthen and tone up the dio
gestion and assimilation—make the cow
responsive to her milk—producing diet.

Sure—and Inexpensive

Kow—Kare is very inexpensive to use. Only“ a
tablespoonful in the feedings one to two weeks
each month is required in average cases. A few
cents per month per cow is a small price to pay
for toponotch milkings and cow health.

1 Try Kow—Kare one season. Prove for yourself
that vigorous cows can produce real milk profits
on moderate-priced natural feeds. Kow—Kare is
obtainable from nearly a“ feed stores, general
stores and druggists. Large size $1.25; 6 cans $6.25.
Small size 65c. Write for free illustrated book,

ANNOUNCE REWARD F0
TESTER '
HE Michigan Association of
Creamery Owners and Mana-
gers through their Secretary, K.
L. McKinnon, Flint, Michigan, an-
nounce that a One Hundred Dollar
award will be made' to the success-
ful Michigan cow testers, who tell
about their accomplishments made
during 1927 on farms of members of
‘Dairy Herd "Improvement Associa—
tions. . -.

This is the fourth year that this
award is made according to A. C.
Baltzer in charge of Dairy Herd Im-
provement Associations, Michigan
State College. The purpose of the
award is to stimulate cow testers to
write down the definite improve-
ments that they know were made on
Michigan dairy farms 'in quantity
production of dairy products, in feed—
ing, breeding and weeding of the
dairy herd.

The essays will be judged previ-
ous to the cow testers’ annual con-
ference at East Lansing, January 30.

vAwards to the six best cow testers

will be made known during this con-
ference.

FOOD VALUE OF POTATOES

I am writing in regard to feeding
small potatoes to horses and cows.
Are they of any value? If so, how
should they be fed, cooked or raw, to
get the most food value out of them.
Are they any good for hog feed?—
W. S. Bellaire, Mich.

OTATOES have their greatest
value when cooked and fed to
hogs. When cooked and fed to

swine around 450 pounds of potatoes
are required to replace 100 pounds
of grain. It should be remembered
that potatoes are strictly carbonace-
ous feed and should be fed in com-
bination with some feeds containing
considerable protein. For cattle,

,from 20‘ to 30 pounds of raw pota-

toes may be fed. per head daily.
Horses should not be fed over 10 to
15 pounds per head daily. '

Fed in moderate quantities, pota-
toes and other ro’ots have consider-
able value as a succulent feed and it
is safe to say that a pound of dry
matter in potatoes or other root
crops is equal to a pound of dry mat-
ter in grain provided the roots are
not fed to excess—Geo. A. Brown,
Prof. of Animal Husbandry, M. S. C.

MAY RAISE LAMBS BY DRY-LOT

METHOD
OME breeders of purebred sheep
’ .se lambs by the dry—lot

method, mainly to avoid stom—
ach worm trouble. The lambs do
not leave the sheds or yards until
they are weaned, when they are put
on clean, fresh pastures. In ‘the
meantime they are fed hay and grain
and their dams are returned from the
pastures tw0'or three times each day
to allow the lambs to nurse.

I TUBERCULAR CATTLE

I Would it be safe to raise calves
that werefrom-a bull that reacted
to the T. B. test? Also, how about

calves sucking tubercular cows‘i— ~

“Interested,” Holly, Mich.

HERE is no danger in keeping
calves sired by a bull that has
reacted to the tuberculin test;

do not keep a calf that has at any-
time sucked a tubercular cow; they
usually react some later time and
then you are keeping the infection
in your herd. .It seems that those
who have tried to raise calves from
tubercular cows have had just such
results. Do not bring any cattle into
your herd from any of these react-
ing herds for you will probably re-
gret it if you do.

 

GOI'I‘ER
What is the cause of goiter or big
neck in . calves? Would painting
with iodine or giving calves iodine
cure it?—E. B., Kalkaska, Mich.

HIS goiter or big neck in calves
is caused by the cows not get-
ting enough iodine while carry-

ing their young; paint these with
iodine two or three times each week.
Have your'druggist fix you up some
potassium iodide in some chalk so
that theywill get 10 grain dose twice
each day and you will find in a short
time they will be gone. This can be
mixed with their feed. You should
get some iodized salt for your cows
or else you should get a mineral with
iodine in it or some of your calves
will die at birth. ,

 

PIGS HAVE RICKETS

I have some twelve weeks old
shoats and lost two of them. They
got lame in their hind legs, then laid
down, seemed a little feverish and in
a few days died. We have been feed-‘
ing ground rye, skimmed milk and
some corn.'———Mrs. 8., Hesperia, Mich.

OUR pigs have rickets; get some
tankage and in each 100 pounds
add 15 pounds of bonemeal.

'Dhen give these 10 pigs about 6 or
7 pounds of this night and morning
in some milk. Also give these pigs
1,9 pint of cod liver oil night and
morning for a few days in this feed.
Do not feed very much corn‘but us-
ing middlings or shorts will be bet-
ter for a while.

NO CURE FOR HE'AVES

Could you give me any remedy for
heaves that have just ,started? Also
a'cure for a cough for a horse? We
have avhorse that'ran a rusty nail
in his foot. Could you give me any
advice as to what to do for it?—
W. G., Tyre, Mich.

HERE is nothing that will cure
heaves; do not feed much hay at
any time but more at night than

in the morning. Make up some lime
water and sprinkle the hay with it
before feeding; make this by throw-
ing a handful of lime in a pail of
water and stirring it up.

You will find that a tablespoonful

SNAILS IN CELERY

EAR EDITOR: I am writing to

have you inquire through your

paper if anyone has been trou-
bled with snails in cabbage and cel-
ery. They ruined my celery this last
year. If anyone else has had the
same trouble, will they state the
remedy? I shall be very much
obliged for the information. We
like M. B. F. very much—W. H.,
Camden, Mich.

 

REMEDY FOR \VORMS

EAR EDITOR:——I read I think
D in your paper a remedy for

worms in poultry. Years ago I
had a large flock of grown turkeys
in the fall not doing well. I was
told to take one teaspoonful of sul-
phuric acid put it in a large candy
pail of water and let them drink it.
One dose was not enough. I never
saw so many worms. There were
dozens of tape worms, the pipe like
piece with worm and nest. It made
the chickens thirsty, and as soon as I
released them they rushed to horse
tank and drank but it did not hurt
them. They soon picked up. I only
kept them in about three hours in the
morning.

.I also read of some one being
bothered with light colored egg yolks
in winter. I am never bothered.
my hens lay quite heavy all winter
and even all the year. I raise car-
rots and golden tankards for them
and most of the time I boil them
.for the hens each day as they waste
a lot of tough pieces if raw. I save
all cabbage, brussels sprouts and all
garden stuff and feed them some each
day along with their mash. It lasts
mostly all winter, then I sprout oats
and have plenty of eggs—Mrs. H.
B., Decatur, Michigan.

I am a reader of M. B. F. Think it 0.
K. Would not be without this paper. It
also has done a lot for the poultry raisers.
——Hallie Dalgord, Delta County.

 

My Wife and I always look forward to
our copies of M. B. F., and will say that
we always abide by what it says—Frank
Armfield, Berrien County.

I like THE BUSINESS FARMER fine. Don't
think it could be any better.—Mrs.
McDonald, Manlstee County.

ll ST OP THIEF!
’ I ' The Business F armer Shows Way
To Stop Chicken Stealing

HICKEN THIEVES are taking a million dollars a year out of the
pockets of the farmers of Michigan! We are going to do all we
can to stop these thieves and want to know if you are going to

wo'rk with us. In fact, you must work with us if this campaign is to
be a success.

Knowing that our rewards can not entirely solve the problem we

have given much thought to it and now recommend the following-

things be done:

1. Put good locks on the doors of all buildings and either our windows or fasten

t em 5 u .

2. Install burglar alarms.

8. Mark poultry with an Identifying mark which is registered with poultry dealers,
sheriffs, and The Business Farmer Protective Service Bureau.

4. Organize county-wide anti-thief associations.
5. Learn to shoot, and do not hesitate to do so when necessary.
8. Enforce poultry dealers' registration law.

UP TO YOU

These things are what you must do to protect your property! Locks can be
bought at any good hardware store. Burglar alarms can be made by anyone
who is at all handy and we will gladly furnish free of charge plans and instruc-
tions for both the silent and gong type alarms.

THE GONG ALARM

We recommend the gong type burglar alarm which is installed inside the
poultry house and makes a lot of noise when released.
rather than a thief catcher because Mr. Thief will run right out from under his
hat when it goes off. Being all inside the coop the thief can not disconnect it
so that it will continue to ring until turned off by the owner. If you do not care
to make one we will sell yv3u a complete outfit, ready to install, for $6.50——the
bare cost of manufacturing and shipping.

OUR POULTRY MARKER

There are many poultry markers being sold to the public but none of them
seem to be entirely satisfactory. _ Also we found most of them too high in price
for the average farmer. So we got in touch with a Chicago manufacturenwho
guaranteed to make the kind of marker we had in mind, putting a different num-
ber on each one so that no two farmers would have the same mark, supply
enough special prepared ink to mark a hundred chickens and pay mailing charges
to the door of the purchaser for $1.50 each. We accepted his offer and are

.selling these at just what they cost us, because we want to serve our readers in
every way possible.
only through us as we have the exclusive right to sell it in Michigan.

If you purchase a Busnxnss FARMER Poultry Marker you get a mark—the

initials “MBF” combined with a number—which is sold exclusively to you, so .

that no one else will have poultry marked like yours. It is a simple operation
to apply the identifying mark on the web of the fowl’s wing and it lasts for the
life of the bird. We keep a record of all the markers.we sell and supply_this
record to all poultry dealers and sheriffs in Michigan as well as chiefs of police in
the larger cities. Then when a dealer is offered any poultryhe can determine

at once if it is the rightful owner who is selling it. If it isn’t and the party.

cannot produce a bill of sale from the rightful owner then the dealer can have
him arrested and charged with stealing. That means that thieves are going to

be careful about taking marked poultry. Order your marker TODAY before your

coop is visited. It doesn’t pay to lock the barn after the horse is stolen you know.

We call our personal‘outlay

home and family in 1928 at an ex-
pense which would have been ample
in ,1908. If it costs more to run our

_ homes today, it is logical to conclude

it must cost more to run our govern-
ment.‘ The home and family life is
said to have been improved. We have
discarded some rather commonplace

things for those more expensive.

The government finds itself in the
same condition. Our schools are a.

Perhaps some expenses could be

erty values in city tnd farming dis-

GARDEN SOIL f, r
(Continued 130m page 17).»

crops which clear the ground early
such as peas, spinach, early cabbage,
etc., from one place to another in
the garden, and sowing catch crops
of rye after them. This is supple-
mented by an application of commere '
cial fertilizer. It is not advisable
to use manure too excessively as I
am of the opinion that overmanuring
is often the cause of partial failure
in our farm gardens, due to its ten-
dency to produce a rank growth'of
top or vine at the expense of fruit,
pod and root production in certain
groups. .

Fresh manure regardless of its
composition is never satisfactory as
a garden fertilizer, notwithstanding
the danger of sowing the garden to
weeds sometimes contained in. fresh
straw manure. Well rotted manure
and moderate applications of com-
mercial fertilizer is the ideal garden
fertilizer.

Clay soil should be plowed in the
fall to enable the. action of frost to
render it loose and friable while
sand soils inclined to wash are some-
times best plowed in spring.

USE CHOKE FOR WINTER
- DRIVING

ON’T be afraid , to use your

choke—but know how to use it.

To start a cold engine use full
choke' for a short period rather than
partial choke for a longer. period—it
saves your battery and permits a

 

Quicker start. '

Use just enough choke to keep the
engine firing evenly while warming
up—too little causes uneven running,
fouled spark plugs and crankcase di—
ultion. Too much will flood your
engine and,make it stop. Don’t fall
to keep the choke closed after the
engin is ru’nningsmoothly.

In extremely cold weather, back
out of the garage into the open air,
let the motor idle for a few minutes,
or run for a block or so in second
If you
start to stall, shift back to second,
put on full choke for an instant until
the engine picks up, then only
enough choke to keep it running. A
motor operates at ' maximum , effi-
ciency when its temperature is
around 160 degrees ’fahrenheit.

Another essential rule to always
observe in starting, is to disengage
your clutch, and be sure no lights
are on. By disengaging the clutch
the strain on the battery is reduced
at least 25 'per cent.

Don’t race a cold engine and don’t
start it until the garage doors are
wide open, because of the danger
of carbon monoxide.

These suggestions will save both
your temper and your car.—-David
Gregg.

HAVE STABLES WELL VENTIL
ATE!) ‘

AIRY cows need 59 cubic feet of

fresh air a. minute to produce

the most milk and to keep

healthy. During cold weather

the air must enter so that it does not

cause drafts. When stables are poor-

ly ventilated the moist air will con—

dense on the walls and ceiling and
make them warp and rot.

Claude’s Berkshire hour was
Grand Champion at the 1927
State Fair.

mCHIGAN CLUB, BOY MAKES
. GOOD WITH BERKSHIBES

ACK in 1926 some of the boys in _
our community decided that they
wanted to try someBerkshires

in the pig club. 'The Chester White
club had left nothing to be con-
quered as far as their field was con-
cerned in state competition. In four
years, they had produced three open
class Junior Champions at the Michi-
gan State Fair and were feeling pret—
ty good. Some of the boys had a
preference-for Berkshires although
they had raised Chesters. ,

Claude Mitchell is the boy I wish"
to tell you about, who first started
with Chesters, but now has a fine
herd of registered Berkshires, and by
the way, the best in his County.
Some distinction for an eighteen year
old boy.

Mr. Campbell, the club leader,
purchased the foundation stock for
this boy from E. J. Barker of Thorn-
ton, Indiana, in 1926. Correspon—
dence was by letter only which
showed the confidence placed in this
judge and lover of good Berkshires.
Our faith was rewarded for the seed
stock purchased at this time was
good enough to pay for itself in the
show ring that fall. The five gilts
and one boar purchased at that time
made a total of over $150, clear of
all expenses. The gilts won every-
thing in the pig club and two were
placed in the open class. The boar
placed first in the pig club and
third in' the open competition. In
the group classes they placed-fourth
produce of dam, third get of sire,
and second breeders young herd.
Claude showed the boar and one
of the gilts that Were placed in open
competition. This year three gilts
were purchased from Mr. Baker for
the Berkshire club and Claude drew
one of them. These gilts with last
year’s pigs were exhibited at the
Michigan State Fair and succeeded in
furnishing some excitement in the
open class. The boar, now a Junior
yearling was Reserve Grand Cham-
pion of the show. This boar’s get
won the blue ribbon in the Michigan
Futurity against the get of the grand
champion at the last year’s Inter-
national, .in the open class the get
was defeated by a senior quartet; In‘
the futurity one of the gilts pur-
chased from Mr. Barker laced first,
and one gilt andrtwo o the bears“
bred by Claude placed well, and
these also won prizes in the open
class. or course he did not have a
full show herd but is planning one
for next year. Claude gives several
requirements for success in pig club
work,‘which are as follows:

1. Use great care in the selection
of seed stock. ‘ ‘
2. Be careful about feeding, es-

provement Association was or=
ganized .in- June, 1925, for, the.

'purpose o'f-T undertaking a general

program to include educational work
in cooperation with the poultry de-

partment of Michigan State College >

and any other agencies that may co-
operate fOr the advancement of the
poultry industry; 'to deve10p and
maintain in cooperation with the
poultry department of the College an.
inspection service to inspect the
hatcheries, flocks and premises of its
members who make application for
such inspection; to establish rules
and regulations for various grades in/
connection with the accredited hatch-
ery group; and to accredit or car-
tify such hatcheries and flocks as
shall satisfactorily pass inspection.

This Association has a member-
ship of approximately 2000. .This
Association can accomplish’ more in
a few ‘years than any individual or
individuals can in a lifetime for the
advancement of poultry in general.
The Record of Performance home
trapnesting project was started by

‘the Poultry Improvement Associa-

tion as an affiliated association.
The Association has assisted in se-
curing legislative action for the ben-
efit of the poultry business in coop-
eration with other agencies. This
Association furthers any work of any
nature that will have any bearing
upon the welfare of the poultry in-
dustry in Michigan as a whole. The
Association is also interested in any
national program that has any con-
nection with the poultry industry,
particularly insofar as " it affects
Michigan and various officers of the
Association have spent considerable
time in connection with the estab-
lishment of a standard national
breeding yplan’so that the grades
throughout the country would be‘
uniform. "

The Association has retained the
inspection of flocks and hatcheries as
its main functiOn in accreditation
and certification of poultry. This in
itself is a-‘sufficient and‘ important
project to warrant the expenditure
of time and money. This'work is
carried on entirely under the ac-
credited hatchery group. The board
of directors that direct this work
through the “field manager of the As-
sociation is made up of 9 men from
the membership and the poultry de—
partment ‘of the College. This board
handles all details pertaining to ac-
credited and certified flocks and
hatcheries.

Reason for InspectiOn

Perhaps it would be well to ex-
plain the reason for having this in-
spection program before explaining
in detail how itis done. In the past
there has been a tendency, as in any
other business, for many individuals
to make claims and statements abso—
lutely unfounded in the furtherance
of their own financial gain or to
place themselves upon the same
plane as some competitor. The ac—
tual quality was present only on pa-
per. A great many flocks were used
for breeding purposes that were not

good representatives of the "breed or ‘

variety that they were supposed to
represent. Many flocks were not sys-
tematically culled and satisfactory
breeding males
used. Incubators were-not satisfac-
torily cleaned and disinfected after
each hatch and conditions were not
ideal for the production of good
chicks. Chicks were not properly
culled in some cases. Complaints
against losses did not receive the at-
tention that they rightly deserve.
The establishment of this inspection
service was instituted for the purpose
of instilling confidence in the buying
public, and protection against indi-
viduals operating hatcheries with no
consideration of their buyers. Fur—
thermore, the establishment of such

' a service gave the reliable and honest

breeder and hatcheryman recogni-
tion of his efforts both physical and

financial in the improvement of the"

quality of his product.

The cost of this inspection service
is carried by the members of the As-

sociation in case Of iolation of any
part of the contrac . As soon as
this contract is 'signed the associa-
tion proceeds with the actual work
of accrediting the flecks from which
that hatchery produces eggs.
Birds Must Be Banded
Before a flock can be accredited,
all the birds must be handled and

legband furnished by the Association.
These birds must be handed in the
presence of someone authorized by
the Association and holding a certi—
ficate for proficiency in culling for
standard and production qualities
from the poultry department of the
College. The birds that are left must
be good specimens of the breed, free
from standard disqualifications, well
matured, and show satisfactory qual-

according to the standards set forth
by the College. In addition no flock
is accredited which shows symptoms
The flock
must be well cared for and well man—
aged. . All. rejected birds must be
removed from the breeding flock and
sold. A certificate is furnished to
the owner after the inspection of the
flock “by the Association inspectors
and the approval of the Accrediting
Board.
Accredited Hatcheries

Before a hatchery may become ac-
credited all flocks furnishing eggs
to that hatchery must be accredited.
The purchase of eggs from unknown
sources or unaccredited flocks is pro-
hibited. The hatchery is inspected
from time to time, for cleanliness
and sanitation. .Accurate records
must be kept of the purchase of eggs,
number of chicks hatched, and to
Whom the chicks were sent. All eggs
used must aveage 23 ounces to the I
dozen and be uniform in quality. All
chicks must be carefully sorted and
culledand property packed for ship~

 

ment. 'Mixed chicks or cull chicks

cannot be sold under the Associa- 

tion's trade mark. An accredited
hatchery cannot purchase chicks
from an unaccredited hatchery for
sale. The inspection of hatcheries is
just as important as that of the
breeding stock to see that it is prop-
erly operated and that the business
methods are entirely ethical. '
The advertising copy and catalogs
must be approved before being used.
This insures the statement of facts
and the absence of misleading state—
ments. The Association in the past
has prevented several concerns from
using fraudulent advertising. "

\Velcomcs Information

The Association welcomes any ‘in-
formation concerningpoor quality
stock or chicks or complaints that
are satisfactorily or promtply han-
dled. The Association maintains an
office at East Lansing in connection
with the Poultry Department and
any trouble with the Association
members may be reported there.

Accreditation is the first step in
the improvement program. Certifi-
cation is the second step differing
only in the use of Approved Record
of Performance male birds. All
other inspection is carried on in the
same manner as in accreditation,
The approval of all R. O. P. male
birds and the supervision of trap—
nesting‘ and pedigree work is han—
dled by the Record of Performance
Association. No hatchery is permit— ,
ted to produce bOth accredited and
certified chicks.

The Association has accomplished
a great deal of geod so far. It will
accomplish more, if ‘it receives the
support from the public which it is
striving to serve. It has been ac-
cused of being a selling organization

the purpose of advertising. The As?
sociation conducts no business other
than inspection and the promotion of
a high quality product. It is inter-
ested in seeing the purchaser receive
What he buys and the production of
a good product truthfully advertised.

RICES continue to make a good
general showing without much

. weakness anywhere. C a t t l e
markets subsided after the sharp up-
turn early in the' month, caused by
light shipment.
dairy products and vegetables are
holding. Eggs have been doing quite
as well as usual at this time of year.

Unususally light receipts of cattle
at Chicago during the fore part of
the week ended January 7, following
meager marketings during the heli-
days, resulted in what the trade
termed the wildest cattle market at
that point in trade history. Slaugh-
ter steer values were considered the‘
highest on record, taking into due
account the shortfed condition of the
crop. 'Later in the period receipts
expanded and the market closed the
week sharply lower than the high
time on all classes excepting bulls,
but retained a portion of the early
gain on some classes. At the week—
end weighty fed steers were mostly
15 cents to 25 cents higher than a
Week earlier, while lighter offerings
showed a loss of most of the early
upturn. ,

Light to moderate hog supplies
early in the week ending January 7
were followed by an enormous run
of 80,000 head on Thursday. Be-
cause of uneven distribution of re-
ceipts, price fluctuations were more
violent than usual and the close
found Chicago prices unevenly 20 to
40 cents lower than a week earlier.
The closing top was $8.50, against
$8.85 a week previous.

“7001

Wool continues in active demand
with further price gains amounting
to a cent per pound on some grades.
Limited supplies of domestic comb—
ing wools and prospect of only
moderate supplies to come, is the
basis of a fairly strong situation.

Grain

The grain markets turned firmer
during the first week of the new year
and prices tended generally higher.
An active demand for cash wheat re-
sulting in an improved flour de-
mand, together with a light market
movement and a good absorption of
world shipments by European mar-
kets, strengthened the wheat market.
Premiums for the better grades of
milling wheat were advanced at most
markets. Offerings of high protein
Kansas milling wheat were very

light but receipts of lower grades \

were in excess of current demand at
Kansas City. The supplies of soft
winter wheat at the markets were
scarcely equal to the limited demand.
Corn prices advanced principally as
a result of an active demand stimu-
lated by thecolder weather. Oats
followed the advance in corn prices
and rye was higher with wheat. Bar-
ley and flax, however, had indepen—
dent strength and prices made good
gains. ‘
Hay

Hay markets were more active,
with colder weather stimulating the
demand and restricting country mar-
ketings. Prices held steady with a
larger proportion of the sales near
the top of the quotations at the vari—
ous markets. Most timothy markets
showed considerably more strength
than during recent weeks and prices
were firm to slightly higher. A1-
falfa markets in the Central West
were steady with a good demand
both from local and outside trade.
Top grades of prairie were moving
readily at firm prices and medium
grades were being taken fairly well.

Feedstufls 7

The demand for feedstuffs was
also stimulated by the colder weath-
er and offerings were readily 'ab-
sorbed, even at slight advances in
prices. Demand for’feedstuffs, how-
ever, was generally, for immediate
shipment with only-antes interest
shown in deferred offerings. ‘ .

further advance but linseed meal

was fractionally loWer atmost mar-

feeds. An improved demand gave
more firmness to. the. market for
wheat feeds while the advance in
corn tended to advance prices for
gluten and hominy feed.

The cold .wave of early January
did much damageto southern truck 4
crops and probably some injury to

citrus fruits, particularly in Florida.’_g°°d- ‘

Tender vegetables were entirely dei
stroyed in some Sections and will
have to be replanted or other crops
grown instead. Freezing tempera-
tures were recorded in all the Gulf
States and as far south as the Rio
Grande Valley of Texas and the Fort
Myers section of Florida. ’Spinach in
Texas was especially hard hit.

Dressed poultry markets .act‘ yell

points, except in western New York.
Onion markets were strong, advances
of 25 to 50 cents per sack occurring
in many distributing centers. Ap-
ples held about steady at home but
improved somewhat in British and
Continental markets. Exports were
increasing. Texas spinach and cab-'
bage showed a much higher price
range, chiefly as a result of the cold
spell. Spinach was bringing twice as
much as a year ago.

Butter

Butter prices have held up rather
well against a slight gain in supplies
and some competition of foreign
butter. Good demand, which has
taken care of the stocks in cold
storage, is still the backbone of the
market. Difficulties may increase,
with the gradual gain in production
stimulated by the advancing season,
the abundance of hay and the moder-
ate prices of most of the millfeeds.

Demand for goods is reported as
rather slow but the outlook is con-
sidered healthy.

Many places we believe the smile has
become a laugh. The price has ad-
vanced over a. dollar per hundred
pounds in the last two weeks and
the preSent tone of the, market indi-
cates that the top has not been
reached 'yet. Demand is reported to
be very good. Some are predicting
$7 beans before another crop. We
hope so. Both farmers and elevator
men deserve to make some money
this year.
