Kittie was once county agent of Macomb county and later county agent of Clinton county. He has just recently published a booklet pertaining to permanent bean -.raising; 'its title is Soil Re- habilitation. ' O O I Saginaw Valley Original Garden of Eden. I think “rehabilitation” is es- pecially apropos of the present situ— ation in Michigan. With a great deal of the State, it isn’t soil conservation, for that means merely preserving what we already have and in some sections that would not help very much. But that very fertile section roughly described as the Saginaw Valley has long held the palm as be- ing the most fertile and productive area in Michigan. At present it is the State’s sugar bowl and bean pot but late years the yield of both beans and beets has been petering out, an unmistakable sign that fertility is waning. With such soils it is dis- tinctly a matter of rehabilitation, getting back to where they once were. Howard Kittle, now the secre— MiChigan Bean’ Soil ,Fertility‘Fundamental: With most of the, soils‘in Michigan, re- habilitation is the right Word; with others, notably the newer ‘soils in the north, it is soil conservation and with quite a large area it is area-1 job of soil building that confronts the owners. But let Kittle be credit- ed with having made a fine applica- tion of the word rehabilitation. t 3 I! Where Webster Got His Defini- tion of Neighbor.

We needed a fertilizer drill in order to get the fertilizer down be- low the seed because that’s where it belongs; But in this locality, fer- tilizer drills are pretty scarce.‘ Fi- nally Wesley Dilwortli, manager of the Beyne City'Co-op. lent his bit by telling us there was a drill four miles' away. “Melly” got on the telephone and Albert Bathke loaned us a good fertilizer drill; Frank Fox, another neighbor loaned a truck to ruined The do a perfect job of tedding.‘ High-Lift Mm Combined Side- -Du BESIDES the Windrow Loader. with ad] table section, there is e McCorml Deerins Gearleu Loader to pick 1 and help is scarce. gelatin. loader does equal! good y from the windmw. here ith th best he w yaw ' hay dries qukkl Rakeand’l‘edderl mbines Speed The McCormick-Deering has many mechani- cal features that make the side take and tedder a hard combination to beat.

I: 0 3 Eight Thousand Trees on Hathews Rumor. Mathews Manor farm. Taking a tip from the experience of others, we first plowed shallow furrows about six feet apart and set the trees with a spud. mat where the furrow slice‘ breaks over. Set here. it will take the grass about three years to grow into the trees again. We had a spud made out of an old crowbar. Cut off about eight or ten- inches of the bottom; this is excess baggage. By flattening the the remaining end to about five; inches wide, we could make a nice place for tree roots and by putting the spud in slanting tour or five inches away, we firmed the soil about the roots better than any amount of tramping. One man can plant about a thousand trees a day with this spud. It takes a good man to handle this implement and a follow will stand right up and call for Misteuk when it comes supper time. ; II! t I: ‘ More Forest, More Fan, “More ‘- Sorfice, More Mon.

Our agriculture was found- ed around a self-sufficing farm unit. This doesn’t mean absolutely self sufficient, but to a large degree this was the case. Agriculture in Amer- ica has been builded around the ,home which-gave employment to. the whole family and in turn furnished most of the farmer’s requirements. Agriculture'has been builded around markets which today we are finding inadequate to handle our increasing ability to produce. Agriculture was ,builded in a day of individualism, of expanding industrialization of busi— ness, of an increased ability on the part of the wage earner to buy. Agriculture is facing a-new day and doesn’t know it or at least doesn’t‘ recognize its significance. Industry started back on our old ’New England farms when this and that farm boy became a specialist in blacksmithing, shoemaking, or some other of the multiplicity of employ— ments found upon the farm and built anbusiness around his talents, has learned his lesson of indultrialized production, mass efficiency and of corporate existence. Industry 'has found a way through combines, of eliminating needless competition. Industry has learned the lesson of organization and is following the or— ganized standard. Industry does not hesitate to discard‘the old if the new appears better. Industry recognizes that while. the law of supply; and ed- mand in the main is effective it is not entirely beyond the power of man to change in some measure its operation.~ Industry does not shy at legislative palliatives for business; Industry didn’t hesitate to set up a national banking system to stabil— ize business in times of panic.

Marks Vast Change This passing of the manufacturing business of our nation from the farm to the shops marks a vast change in our economic structure. Farmers that lived off the produce of their land, made their own shoes, spun their own cloth, used their own home-made butterend home-cured meats were forced to face a second stage in the progress of agriculture. They began to exchange goods one with another and the age of speciali— zation was ushered in. They traded at the country grocery store and what might be termed the era of barter and exchange followed and over-lapped the period in which they lived off the produce of their own land. Labor woke upxne morning and found the condition of labor intoler- able, to labor, at least. When our forefathers’ sons left the farm and began to enter the industries they little realized that before a genera- tion had passed, sweat-shops, 12 CORN BORER QUARANTINE REVISED HE area. under quarantine on account I of the European Corn Borer has been enlarged in Michigan by Secretary of Agriculture Jardinve and is now as follows, efl'ective on and after June 1: Complete counties of Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Barry, Bay, Branch, Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Hillsdale, Huron, Ing— ham, Iosco, Jackson, preer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Montmor- ency, Oakland, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Presque Isle, Saginaw, St. Clair, Sanilac, Shiawas- see, Tuscola, Washtenaw, and Wayne; and the townships of Aloha, Benton, For— est, Grant, Maple Grove, and Waverly in Cheboygan county; townships of Brady, Charleston, Climax, Comstock, Cooper, Kalamazoo, Pavilion, Portage, Blehland, Ross, Schoolcraft, Texas, and Wakeshma in Kalamazoo county; Bourret and Sher- idan townships in Gladwin county; Hom- er, Inigersoll, Larkin, Lee, Midland, and lift.

C. in September, 1924 from Amhurst, Mass, where he served as president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. He was born in this. State V and graduated from the old M. A. C. in 1891. Following thathe was pres- ident of the Rhode Island State Col— lege for nine years and then went to head the Massachusetts institution in 1907. The State Board of Agriculture has been disappointed in Dr. But- tenfield’s work at the College for some little time because he allowed the liberal arts to become such a big thing in. the program of M. S. C. at the expense of agriculture in many cases. Apparently the fact that the college was founded for agriculture was forgotten. Then the finances have been handled in a rather un— satisfactory way. It was not long before they were facing a deficit that - seemed to, ‘increase rather than de- cline. The first of the year Dr. Butter- ufield asked for a leave of absence to attend a religious gathering in Pales— tine which was granted by the board. Also they made some changes in the control of the funds at the college. If the beard. had been in accord with the ‘Butterfieid regime they would have put in_ Dean Phelan as acting president during, his absence but they did not do this; Dean Shaw was their Before Dr. Butterfield left the lat- ter part of February it was predicted he would never return but he de— clared May lst would find him back in charge. During his sojourn in Europe the board had another meet- ing and they extended his leave to July 1st without consulting him and they removed three of his friends from the payroll after July 1st. But ‘he returned May lst as previously planned and everything was fairly quiet until the May meeting when his resignation was presented and ac— cepted. He had made a strong fight to stick but was forced out by the action of the board. Reporters were informed that he had nothing to say. 'The new president, Dean Robert S. Shaw, who has served as acting president at various times, was born in 1871 on a large farm near Hamil— ton, Ontario, Canada, and graduated from the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege in 1893 with the degree of B. S. A. For several years he man— aged the 520—acre farm on which he was born, and then in 1897 went to the University of Minnesota where he taught animal husbandry. The following year he went to the Mon— tana State College as assistant pro— fessor of agriculture, remaining there for a little over four years. In 1902 he came to the Michigan Agricul- tural College as professor of agri— culture and livestock experimenter. Then when the agricultural division was created invl90r8 he became dean and was later appointed to director— Organization , , ‘ ~ erode-i: -’3i.bcuu_ Puélirber MILON GRINNELL Editor _ {Eterfg 1‘33“: fine] 8- . .

She met the corporate power of industry with the second great sorganized human factor in our economic structure, organized labor. Labor recognized the need of collective bargaining and gained the *3; point that labor is a. commodity that 5’3 can be bought and sold in quanti- ' ties on the market just the same as pig iron or cotton shirts. Labor learned from industry some lessons regarding legislation. She passed her Adamson law and kept an eagle eye on immigration.

YDRATED lime is a” suitable material for correcting the acid— ity of soil in preparation for the growing of alfalfa. Either hydrated lime, marl or ground limestonewill give good. results if applied in ade- quate amounts and properly worked into the soil. The amount of lime or marl to use is determined by the degree of acidity of the Soil and I would not advise any farmer‘- to use such materials until a testis made to find out how much is needed.'The county agricultural agents are pre- pared to make these tests or a sam- ple of soil may be sent to the Soils Department of the College if desired. If a soil is quite sour, it is customary to apply about two tons of ground limestone or from four to six cubic yards of good marl. If hydrated lime is used, it will require about one and one—half tons. In most cases the hydrated lime treatment is more expensive’than the marl or ground limestone—C. E. Millar, Michigan State College. ’ASPARAGUS ROOTS How deep should asparagus plants be set? Is it advisable to set three year old plants? Will they do Well in black «muck, well drained?——C. S.. Alpena, Michigan. HE proper depth of planting as- T paragus roots will depend to some extent on the type of soil. Eight to ten inches deep is usually satisfactory as this enables you to lightly plow or harrow the soiI early in the spring and 'again when the cutting season is over at which time manure can, be applied. A light plowing in the fall is advisable. There is no particular advantage in setting three year old roots; in fact I would prefer good strong one or two year old roots. Only strong vig- orous roots should be set in any case. The Michigan State College is ex~ perimenting with asparagus on muck soil but ‘I do not believe they have made known the results as yet.

I'am unable to tell him and it any of the readers can furnish the in- formation would be glad to have it' sent to M. B. F. at Mt. Clem- ens. Requests for special varieties of p tatoes and othe crops come to "me and some of the varieties I have never heard of. Some seed companies will take some very good stand- ard variety and give it a new name and'I believe this is where many of the variety names originate. I think the seed companies are growing away from this questionable practice and instead of giving a. new name to some standard sort are offering the seed as being of their special selec- tion or improvement. This is far bet— ter, and unless some one can origi- nate a superior new variety there are enough names on a seed list right now to last for several dec- ades. I believe this Ypsilanti Sub— scriber will find some standard sort of potato just as good as the “Flat Dutch" could be. This year the Michigan Crop Improvement Asso- ciation will certify only the follow- ing varieties which show that they are the only ones recommended in Michigan. Early Ohio, Irish Cob- bler and Triumph for the early crop, and for late crop, White Rural (Sir Walter Raleigh), Carmen No. 3, Ru- ral New Yorker No. 2, Russet Rural (Late Petoskey), Green Mountain and Triumph, of these the great de— mand is for Cobblers and Russet Rural. L. w'. Meek- * t # Old; Fertilizer From Kingsley comes a letter ask- ing about depreciation of fertilizer after remaining in a warehouse. a year or ‘so. I do not think the value will be lessened to any noticeable extent if the fertilizer has been stored in a dry place. Of course, I would prefer the fresh product, but how do you know it is just made even when your dealer just opens a newly arrived carload? Old ferti- lizer if kept dry and not caked or lumpy, will-be quite as effective as any. Fertilizer manufacturers know that some plant food elements will deteriorate when mixed together and they do not mix those that will be- come inactive with combination. We have used old fertilizer, that had to be pounded up with a club to break the lumps, and it gave a good ac- cgunt of itself; It * Sweet Clover Bay A man at Waltz, Michigan, wants to know about sweet clover hay. From his letter and several others I have- lately received, I conclude there are many who seem to have the idea that sweet clover can be made into a “catch crop of hay," in years like this when old meadows and new ones, too, are practically all gone. This is a mistaken idea about sweet clover. While it is pos— sible and has been done, it is almost too uncertain to, recommend the sowing of sweet clover in the spring with the intention of cutting a crop of hay that same season. It is pos- sible also, to sow it-with cats or other grain and have it get large enough after harvest to cut a crop of. hay, but these possibilities are not certain enough to recommend ., them as practical” At this late date, Millet or Sudan grass will be ~more worth while. ‘ Another man‘wants to know when and how to make sweet clover hay. ~ Sweet clover hay, to have anygvaln‘e, ._ I, I-«would. as feed, ‘must be out, early.’ 1- Just as bl ' it gets 1200' Nothing likes very well and after blo‘s- is very. difficult to make form.

Sweet clover is a wonderful “plant, but I sometimes doubt its being an ideal hay crop plant. We have a. field of it we are is fine and quite early we put the disk drill on the field, and seeded sweet clover which is coming up fine at this time. We hope this recent seeding will give a good account of itself next year. * ' A man writes asking. if sweet clover can be cut year after year like alfalfa. No, it must be reseeded every year. If allowed to go to seed a year or two in succession. it is possible some of the seed will come up every year and make it a sort of perpetual crop, but the plant itself dies the second year after being sown. It i It Grimm‘ Stands the Test A few days ago, I visited a .man who has made more than an or— dinary success with alfalfa. He showed me a field where Grimm had been growing for several years. When he seeded the field. he ran out of Grimm and had to. use a little common alfalfa to finish it. The common has done very well until this last winter, when it nearly, if not quite all, killed out. The Grimm is as good as ever. He has 3. won- derful prospect for hay from the Grimm fields, while if he had sown all with the common variety, he would not have any hay prospect at all. He also showed me his hog pas- tureof sweet clover. This field grows up and reseeds itself every year and the great rangy Tamwo‘rt‘hs that have the privilege of roaming around in item to be envied :by the pig who has June grass lot as. his summer run. - III I!

Top Dressing A near—by neighbor called {me to his farm a few days ago to determine the cause of some “freak” strips of excellent timothy and clover in a. field ,which was intended for a mead- ow this year, it having been seeded in the wheat a year ago. The field is barren other than the strips just mentioned and must be put into some crop. If all of the field Were like these “strips” he would have a fine crop of hay. What'caused these strips to be so fine when all the rest is dead? Is the field badly run? No. the field is in excellent condition and produces fine crops of corn, oats, etc. The wheat last year was good. But these “strips”——what could have caused them? Isn’t it a queer thing? See, they don’t run very straight and regular; and they are about four feet wide and wind around, and over there they seem to be closer togeth- er—let’s follow one of them as it winds around the field.

Most Detroit or Chicago wholesalers will admit that on the average Michigan apples are packed equally good or better than/New York State fruit, due to the stricter grading regulations enforced by the Michigan Department of Agriculture at the re— quest of growers.” A study of certain figures con- tained in a reCent bulletin issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, (Relative Importance of Varieties and Sources of Carload Supply of Apples), in markets in which Michi- gan fruit should predominate be- cause of nearness to market, in- dicates that the New York grower evidently has considerable advantage in the matter of freight rates. In shipping to Indianapolis, apples from New York must travel 250 per cent greater mileage than Michigan apples, yet the New York rate is only 50 per cent higher than the Michi— gan rate. . From Rochester, New York, to Detroit the mileage is 150 per cent greater than from Benton Harbor, Michigan, with practically AT THE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL This artistic float in the parade .during Blossom Festival at Benton Harbor this spring represented the city of Holland and was the winner of a first prize. the same rate. From Rochester, New . York, to Lexington, Kentucky,.the mileage is 150 per cent greater than from Benton Harbor and yet the New York rate is 38 per cent lower! Taking rates which apply to points farther north than Benton Harbor such as Fennville, Grand Rapids, etc. the freight rate is increased. In a normal year Michigan apple growers will pay about $240,000 more to ship their crop than New York growers in shipping a like ton— nage to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indi— anapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Milwau- kee, Lexington, Louisville and Pitts- burgh. Other fruits and other pro- ducts such as hay, grain, beans, po— ‘ tatoes, etc., show a similar handicap. Why is New York getting the jump on Michigan? Mainly because New York has a trained traffic ex— pert on the job“ continually, getting better rates for agriculture. A simi— lar man’s work in the Michigan De- partment of Agriculture would cost 'about $15,000 annually and could save the growers $240,000 a year, in nine markets, on apples alone. This looks like a good investment. So far, however, Governor Green has turned a deaf ear to entreaties of growers "and the farmers‘ organizations to putMichigan agriculture on .a par "with its competitors.

This action, while apparently a popular one, is class legislation and as such is bound to involve losses not only to the railroads, but to the traveling public who ride in the day coaches and to a number of communities that now enjoy sleeping car service. TO the Railroads," it involves immediately a loss of $40,000,000 in revenue annually, which will have to be made up somehow. The surcharge is the only revenue that the railroads get for the hauling of the heavier equipment and the inci- dental special service of parking this equipment at the stations and in coach yards. In fact, the railroads have always had to pay to the Pullman Company a certain small charge for the mileage of each Pullman car and besides a guarantee of a certain mini— mum of return covering a period of years. All of the returns for berths, etc., go to the Pullman Company excepting the surcharge. " THE surcharge was found necessary by the United States Railroad Adminin stration. Its continuance has been recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion after an exhaustive study of the entire question of passenger travel returns. THE Pullman sleeping car after all is a hotel on wheels. It provides an unusual service. It represents a heavy investment per passenger. The berth charge and the surcharge of 50 per cent (which latter is the only revenue the railroads derive from this high class service) together, are not out of line with the charge for a room in a modern high class hotel. SINCE the Pullman sleeping car passenger enjoys greater comfort than does the passenger in the day coach, he should expect to pay for the added comfort. The Pullman passenger is allotted two and one half times as much space as the person riding in the day coach. The car weight per passenger of the average day coach— assuming that it is filled—is about 6,800 pounds. The car weight per passenger of the average Pullman sleeping car—assuming that sleeper is filled—is about 12,260 pounds. The cost to the railroad of hauling a sleeping car passenger is, therefore, approximately twice as much. Should not the sleeping car passenger pay for these additional privi- leges to the passenger and the obligations devolving upon the railroads? ANOTHER illustration: The sleeping car lines to Nfichigan resorts in summer and to Florida or California resorts in the winter, are seasonal movements. The travel is all in one direction, which means that the return movement is an empty one. RAILROADS have only two main sources of income—passenger revenues and freight revenues. ' THE wiping out of $40,000,000 annually in passenger revenues involved in the abolition of the surcharge on Pullman fares must inevitably do one of three things:— 1. Result in cutting down of passenger train service now provided by American Railroads; 2. Restricting sleeping car service on the less prosperous lines; 3. Or, shifting the burden of the loss upon the shippers of freight. ANY one of these expedients is unfair to the general public, that section who ride in the day coaches. - IT is a good principle of business at all times to require the person who enjoys a special service to pay for that special service. THE Pullman surcharge requires just that. THE abolition of the surcharge, therefore, constitutes class or sumptuary legislation, which is not desirable in this day and age. THE railroads do not object to governmental regulation by the proper tribunal—the Interstate Commerce Commission— constituted to deal with the trm portation industry exclusively.

"MAIL SERVICE EAR EDITOR: I agree with Hugh Fosdick that the rural mail delivery is not fair. We cannot seem to get the mail to go by our door. There are three~houses within one-half mile and all of us have to walk to the corner for our mail in all kinds of. weather or go without, and sometimes it is very bad to try and leave money in the box or try to send money orders. I have tried by writing to the post master general and all he did was send my letter to the local post mis- tress. At that time I think they were talking at raising the mail man's wages, so he said. This same mail man on his route drives one. mile to serve one house on a very poor read while the road is much better by our place and three houses within a half mile. Why does. the government pay mail carriers to deliver mail to every house in the city while many rural people have to wade snow and mud and put up with anything?—~ W. F. Tooker, Saginaw County.

When it comes to selecting candi- dates how much cheese does our primary system out? The industrial class pick out the‘ man they want and how many voters ever look up his record. We have a man trying hard to get the nomination for the presidency. What did he ever do to show the farmer and laborer that he was their friend. I think he demonstrated this when he got the farmers $2.20 for $3.00 wheat. Are you farmers going to forget this and vote for that kind of a man? If so never in the world will you get any place. Last year, while: threshing at a neighbor’s, I am sure there were 14 or, 16 'men there and not one of them could tell you about the bill put through regarding clover seed or who was the cause of its being put across, and still three—fourths of this same bunch were sobbing about the railroad man, his wages, etc, and out of. the bunch just one could tell how long they have been getting what they got.

" POISONING FROM ALUMINUM EAR EDITOR: Matthew 10:8 deals with healing, the sick, raising the dead (the. new thinking», cleansing the Jonas and casting, out demons, and: is the most important verse» I know of in all literature. It deals with our pres~ ent moment-by-moment living. Our streams are contaminated by sew- age, and to make that water drink- able it is doctored. ,Toledo, Ohio. puts about $70,000 worth of alu- minum sulphate into its Man-nee River water in a year and that is 3,000 tons as well as much lime. Possibly a little poison would not harm people much. But there are nine ways to get aluminum com- pounds, as poisons. In city drink ing water, in medicines, from alumi- num water purifiers, in- goods. in whiskies, in baking in- jections before major surgical opera- tions to reduce blood flow, for buses for false teeth, and iron cooking utensils. V - Once, some years ago, those who demonstrate this nice looking. shiny metal, to sell to the housewives and frequently through some churehaid, society, did have a printed slipnlong saying that acids should not be cooked in them nor salted foods. Salt is sodium and chlorine, and chlorine is a violent poison. In hos- pital routine, where calomel (for bowel action)“ is given (it contains mercury) generally the food (and they feed the ,sick in hospitals. in- stead ot fasting them) and water comes out of aluminum utensils and the mercury of the calomel meet- ing this aluminum in the stomach forms an amalgam—which is the cause, perhaps, why so many suc- cessful operations of surgeons are followed by a soon passing on. P0- tatoes should be cooked in their Skins, yet if you peel some and set them in an aluminum kettle in water over night and you find them turned yellow and you cook them ad firm them turned black you may conclude there is something wrong with aluminum, ware.

I was more than pleased a few weeks ago when one of my very ef- ficient farmer friends invited me to finish up a field for him. I thought I was going to be cheated out of a corn planting job this season be- cause I have not found time to get back to Spring Water Farm. but here V was my opportunity and I made the most of it. Timepwill soon tell if I died a better job of planting than my friend. but at present I am Ruining to bet a new hat that I at least did as good a job. O C t One-Room Schools ' A few weeks ago I had the oppor- tunity to visit several rural one— _room schools. These rural schools , of Michigan are the centers where the farmer’s children receive their education before they enter high school. I am sorry to say that these one-room schools are not giv- ing very good results. and are handi- capping the _tarmer’s boys and girls. In many cases the equipment is poor, the number of classes taught are' too large and the number in each class is too small. There is usually inadequate / supervision and very one: the child passes from grade to grade with little regard for his or her work. As a result when these youngsters come to the high school they often find that they cannot do the worth of their city cousins. I know‘this‘ to be true because I have the tank of teaching .many of them in the high school. I am not criti- cising the rurai teachers as I know they are doing their best at an up- hill job, but this unfair and inciti- eient system of education of our Mm youth causes a feeling of sad— ness and regret within me, and I hope the time is near-at hand when the one-room school will be elimi— nated and in its place will be a cen- tralized, up—to—date school for our farm boys and girls. It It :0: Main New Age Proper education and training seem all the more important to the farm boy and girl when we realize we wonderful age in which we are N living. This isan age of science, of ' economy, and skill, where a premi- nm is given for the man or Woman with‘efficiency and training. It is an age or new ideas and methods in industry; this is true in both busi- ness and agriculture. ‘ " madman” have found that a, 100 candiepower lamp can be operated , an old- .taahio‘n candle; other discover- ies reveal like facts. In the auto- mobile. industry one laborer in Amer- ica can prbduce more than 10 work- ersin Europe. General Motors, Ford, and many other automobile mag- nates invest capital in“ special ma- chinery. save labor, and reduce total costs while paying a maximum wage to laborers; on the other hand the textile manufacturers, on which our cotton growers depend, failing to adopt these new and up—to-date methods, are finding themselves in the background, and are attempting to reduce costs by reducing wages. Everything which can be stated about ‘ unsatisfactory business meth- ods can be applied to agriculture or to the farm. Eflicient machinery, properly cared for, proper rotations, and cultural methods. good vari- eties of seed, and correct types of stock are some of the factors which go to make a better agriculture. ' farmer t ‘ in" his business of farming. , indhstry. fails to ' acknowledge them and adopt them will also fall I . Study and education play a large part in this new age. ‘ J. O O Fecthng ‘Small Pigs . Numerous questions have come to me regarding the flooding of small pigs after weaning age or soon after weaning. The Purdue experiment station has carried on various ex- periments in hog feeding and they recommend a ration as soon as the pigs are weaned of the following mixture: 80 parts corn; 20 parts of high grade wheat shorts, and 10 parts of tankage by weight. ‘This feed is put in a self—feeder in a creep where little pigs can get at it at all times free from competition with older hogs. Pasture, plenty of water, and skim milk will make the showing just that much better. Due to the corn shortage proba- bly a ration without corn in it would be of more service at this time. The Michigan State Experi— ment station at East Lansing gives the following ration for weaned pigs: barley 100 lbs; oats 50 lbs. middlings 50 lbs. Supplemented with tankage 22 lbs. or skim milk 520 lbs. Other rations may be obtained by "it .' » _whning Teams at M. 8..

Cattle. he noticed, were begin- ning to fill out with amazing celerity ,now. and he visioned with regret the ' many prime beeves they could have ship— pod with the coming of the snow if things had not gone amiss. His horse was following a trail with .whlchhe'was little acquainted. He had been mounting steadily for some time and was well up in the blue timber now, where it was cooler. It was darker, too, under the big spruce that shot skyward a hundred feet or more, straight as a drawn string. . . - Terry stopped at a spring and watered his horse. He noticed when he stretched himself to drink of the icy water that it was =disturbed, carrying sediment from above. He reasonedythat there must be cattle above. or deer or elk. He arose swiftly, drew his rifle from his scabbard and set off up the trail afoot. A piece of fresh_meat would not be unwelcome, .he decided. Bear would be getting fat and tender now. He advanced cautiously, the wind in his face, the carpet of pine needles blan- keting his footfails completely. A whiff of wood smoke, pungent and unmistak- able, came down the wind. Terry paused, considered anew, then went on more care- fully than ever. And so advancing, he came presently upon the source of the smoke. ' In a little park, but a few yards in di- ameter, two men were occupied, Messer and Lossing. A two-year-old-steer, evidently stupe- fled by poison, had wandered that way and fallen in the little stream. The ani- mal was not quite dead yet, but it would never rise to its feet again. Messer was leaning over the beast with a glowing iron in his hand; Lessing was holding a blanket, water soaked. “Here’s where we make another Bar Z Bar steer out of a Bar Slash Bar," said Messer laughing. “I‘ve heard of lots of men changing someone else's brand into their own. but this is the first time I ever heard of anyone changing their own branding into somebody's else's.” "Put that iron on here," ordered Loss- ing. “Be cold first thing you know." Terry stepped out of the pines fringing the park, the rifle leveled. “Don’t make any sudden moves," he said. “I’m nervous and this rifle is easy on trigger. Loaded with soft-nosed bul- ets," he added. “'0 " Their surprise was complete. But Loss- ing recovered quickly. “You've got a funny idea of a joke,” he said. managing a grin of sorts. - “Count it that if you like," Terry told him. "Just turn arOund, both of you, and walk down this trail before me." "Anything to oblige," sneered Lossing. “Who‘s first?" "You," said Terry. watching him close- ly. If either of them carried guns, he could not see them, and he dared not risk searching them. A rifle is awkward at close quarters. Lossing purposely stepped quickly, thus putting a yard or two between him and Messer who was next. And for a second ‘ Terry realized that he could not watch them both and he opened his mouth to order Lossing to halt. But that second was enough for Messer, Terry never knew what hit him until later. Lew Kane, forest ranger for that 'district. found him with a hole in his side, lying almost in the stream, uncon- scious. He placed the lad on the saddle before him and took him home. Terry had not recovered consciousness when the doctor came several hours later and re- sponded slowly to treatment. “He’ll make it,"- said the doctor, “with proper care; but it’s hard to tell when he’ll ‘come to himself." And like a wise doctor. he asked no questions.

TEXT: “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat: ‘ ‘ ‘ for thou wilt heap coals of fire .upon his head, and Jehovah will reward thee." Proverbs 25:21. HEY said that they were consci- entious objectors to war. There were about fifty of them. and they would not fight nor would not work. One of our reactions on leav- ing this war camp was that of a heightened respect for the United States government. For while these men were neutral foes of a war ad- ministration,‘yet the State contin- ued to feed and care for them in a An ofiicer was ques- tioned as to why the uniformed sol— diers did not sneer at them, and he replied, “They dare not. We will not permit it.” Let us raise the Christian flag to grace the Stars and Stripes, for here indeed was our own Uncle Sam heaping coals of fire upon his enemies. “If thine'enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat." Does it surprise you to find that we do not have to wait to reach the New Testament to discover the heart of God? This an- cient text stands for persistent love and good-will. However, when trans- ferred to the New Testament we think this ideal has a more consis- tent setting. We see it in a new and clearer perspective. Goals of fire are an essential part of the ethics of Christ and the teachings of Paul. Such moral excellence does not pre- vail in the standards of pro-Christian sages. Just feel this hot breath of the psalmist upon his enemies, “Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits whence they shall not rise.” To Get Rid ’of Flies Now these are coals of hatred; of vengeance. The psalmist thought he had a right to pray in this manner against his enemies. And many moderns breathe out such impreca- tions. But does God hear? Not if He is the God of the Sermon on the Mount. Imprecatory prayers are hardly consistent with the life and teachings of Him in Whom was no spirit of hate or hurt. We are sad to know that multi-l tudes of men are not yet above a “tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye” state of social living. And we are ashamed that even church folks sometimes like to render to others according to their works. They like vengefully to strike back. Forgiveness is altogether too rare in Christian society. Why is it; that Christians resort to bitter retalia— tion? Don’t they know better? Of course. It is not so hard to get men to acknowledge the rightness of the forgiving principle; but it is hard to get them to practice it. Elemental selfishness overrules. Passion mas— ters. And thus goodness is trampled under feet. This is the Spirit Of war whether in the heart of the in- dividual or of the nation. .But we are learning. The heart of the coun- try is leaning toward a Higher Wis‘ dom. Secretary Kellog’s proposal for a general treaty of peace among the nations is a broad gesture toward applying coals of kindness. Could anything the quicker soften inter- national frictions and pacify inter- racial jealous’ies? so! We sanguinely hope she may be first in any move to disarm the na- tions of fear and hate. “And Jehovah will reward thee.” And how? By the achievement of , a» ' ‘ Let America. do.

"Eat them?” a “Hardly'that,” Kane. [anaged a smile. “No doubt," he added, “but that they were the cattle in queStion." " "Not a bit in the world," said Mort. "But. I can't look for them‘now. I’ve got three men’s work! to do ‘here. What can we do about it?" . ~. ' “You ought to have some help here," "said the ranger." ‘Where's the young fellow; young Summers?" “In the hospital," Mort told him, "with a broken back. The' boss left day before yesterday to see about him. I look for him back tomorrow or ‘next day. Stop for supper?" “Got to get on," said Kane. "Just stopped to rest my legs and give you the news. We’ll do what we can about the cattle." Mr. Muir came back next day with the news that Doug had been removed from the hospital two days after he had been injured and. no address was available. He could find no trace of him. “But was he hurt as bad as the paper said he was?” Mary wanted to know at once. " “I talked to the surgeon that attended him. 1‘; s" ain’t. shipped any ..cat_t1a .ut him,” said Mr. Muir, “and he told me it ‘ was serious. He doubted if Doug would ever walk again." Haying Was over before Terry was able to be up. Nothing was found of either the missing cattle or men. over and the bite of fall was in the air. ASpen on the .slopes 'flamed brilliantly in irregular. patches. The grain crop was heavy but late. Snow was due any time now. Nothing had been heard from Doug, October. The first fall of snow had Haying was . been so li'ght'that it damaged .nothing, for ' which they were thankful. A heavy fall 'would have flattened the grain crop, their , only salvation now that the cattle'wem unmistakably Igone. Terry'was able to be about a little, and'help Mort rig the. , binder. Mort was thinner than ever these days; the whole burden of running the ranch had fallen on him. Mr. Muir went about in- a sort of perpetual stupor. “Lord, Lord," Mort ‘was saying, “300 acres of grain to cut with one little six foot binder and only me to cut it.” Terry grinned wanly. _ “Poor prospect, 'eh?" he said. “Poor!” snorted Mort. “So danged poor it ain’t likely to happen. And who's to shock? We want to keep it piled as fast as it’scut. Never did wish for that boy Doug so hard before. He gets things done" . “After you get started," said Terry. “maybe I can handle the binder. ’Or, if I cant, maybe Mary can." . “Maybe l” snorted Mort. “Neither one of you look stout enough to swing a cat by the tail. It's durned funny what he- came of that boy." “It’s all of that," agreed Terry, "but I’ve decided that Sid and his sister must have taken him away from the hospital."

'Then._,the law of' coals of charity must get a hearing in the court of the public mind. The people are the juryr and though thus far they have had no opportunity to ren- der a formal verdict, we can almost certainly forecast what it is to be. They are tired of the terror and in- humanity of war. The common voice cries out for a trial of reason and love. He lay in a federal prison during the recent war. He was asked what had been his. greatest experience. One might suppose it was that of bitterness and hate. But these are his words, “I have discov- ered that love is omnipotent. All the forces on earth cannot prevail against it. Hatred, war, cruelty, greed and lust must all give way be— fore it. It will overthrow all tyran- nies. It will empty all prisons. It will not only emancipate the human race eventually, but to a great ex- tent it lifts us individually above the struggle while we are in the thick of the fight for human brotherhood.” It is easily seen hOW Jehovah is re- warding this individual, and how, therefore, he will reward the race when such individuals predominate. Goals of fire have in them mystical power to appease the wrath of men. Such goodness wears down antagon— ism and turns the antagonist into a friend. But is there no limit to love? Well, not unless seventy times seven is that limit. Yet doesn’t this teaching completely defeat the spirit of bitterness? It does not fol- low that we- are never to oppose another. We sometimes have to do this for the good of the opponent and of others. But this kind of good— ness has in it no ruthless violence. The motive of getting even is ruled out. Hard? Of course, it is hard. But isn’t it necessary for the soul’s sake? We are led to most serious reflection when we recall that God’s forgiveness is measured to us- as we forgive others. This is conquering evil with good and getting our re; ward from on high. It is, converting ,evil into astaircase which leads to regions celestial. Do we have a heart of 'pity and love large enough to cover up our'enemy? One Man did and Jehovah rewardedghim. The Jesus way was-to get. vengeance through love. Our: text will never be _ fulfilled until we fellowthiswayand, 'give our enemie's.~bread instead. of bullets.

Butterfield resigned during the May meeting of the State Board of Agriculture and Dean Robert S. Shaw of the agri- cultural division of the college was appointed in his place. As we have predicted in these columns, this change was inevitable. Not because of any per- sonal feeling, if any, that there might be at the college or among the board members, but because Mr. Butterfield was not the man to head the in- stitution. He is a wonderful scholar but not an executive. The man at the head of an institu- tion of this kind must be able to get the heads of the various departments working together for the common good of all. Dr. Butterfield failed to do this, so it was necessary to make a change if M. S. C. was to continue to show progress. The college was founded in the interests of agriculture and under Dr. Butterfield's direction it apparently lost sight of that fact, so in making a change an agricultural minded man should be appointed. Certainly no one appears more cap- able of filling the bill at this time than Dean Shaw. He has been the head of the agricultural division of M. S. C. for the past twenty-six years and at various times served as acting president of the college. Dean Shaw loves the college and is giving his best to it. He has the respect and will receive the cooperation of those who are in the departments concerned about agriculture as well as the alumni, present students, farm organ- izations and farmers in general. He has all ready asked for this cooperation, stating that no one man will be able to conduct the affairs of the college successfully without the cooperation of all friends of the institution. With Dean Shaw at the helm at Michigan State College we look forward very Confident of a bright future. ~ \VE’LL MISS YOU, PROF. REED OR some time rumors have had it that Prof. O. E. Reed, "head of the dairy husbandry department at Michigan State College, would be appointed chief of the Bureau of Dairy Indust— ry of the United States Department of Agricult- ure in the near future. We hoped this W s not true, for selfish reasons of course, because he is a very valuable man and we did not want the farmers of Michigan to lose their close contact with him, but an announcement by Secretary of .Agriculture Jar-dine of his appointment has been given to the public. He is to take up his duties in Washington about September let. Prof. Reed was born in 1885 at Fayette, Miss- ouri, reared on a farm, and graduated from the University of Missouri in .1908, receiying his master’s degree there two years later. f In 1911 he went to the Kansas State Agricultural College - as head, of the dairy husbandry department and filled this position until 1918 when he accepted a. similar position with Purdue University- After two years there he came to Michigan State College ' ~ and has served as head 0! dairy hulhandrypnd labeib' may: and in 1925 lo; he has named the dairy industry abroad units one of the dele- gates to the Internatioml Dairy Congress‘soon to be held in England. ' . As the head attire work h dairying at l. S. 0., Prof. Reed gathered about him some of the best men in the game undies made the college outstanding in this work. The farmers of Mich- igan owe him much and they-are going to mine him. ‘ ' ' ‘ FARM RELIEF _ OUR. senators and representatives have return- ed from Washington and many of them are now busy telling the farmers how much congress did for them by passing the McNary- Haugen bill but President Coolidge spoiled it all by vetoing it when it came to him for signing. we think that if a. contest was put on to name the best joke told in 1928 that this one should win in a. walk. When the bill came before President Coolidge during the 1927 session of congress he stated carefully and fully his reasons for vetoing it, and the equalization fee was one of his main objec- tions. Yet when the. new bill, which was the old one with a. few slight changes, was brought up in the last session it still contained that one big ob- jection and carried it all the way through both house and senate and finally to the President's desk with the congressmen well aware that it would be vetoed. Then when they had a chance to pass it over the President’s veto some of then changed their minds. Would the hill have passed either house or senate if the members had be- lieved Coolidge would sign it? If our congressmen were so earnest in their. desires to help the farmers why did they not spend their time on a bill that would stand a chance of winning the approval of the administra— tion? Perhaps it would not have been just what the farmers in every section of the country want- ed but certainly it would have been something—- which they haven’t got now. - WILL IT BE DEAN COX? RESIDENT SHAW, new head of Michigan P State College, has announced that he will re— sign as dean of agricultuie to give his entire time to his new work. The State Board of Agri- culture failed to make any arrangements at its last meeting for anyone to take his place in the agricultural division but will undoubtedly do so at their next meeting, in June. We are confident that the farmers of Michigan would be pleased to see Prof. J. F. Cox, head of the farm crop de- partment, appointed as dean of agriculture. BLAMING THE STATE BOARD HE city press has had much to say about the changes in presidents at the Michigan State College during the last few years and criti- cizes the State Board of Agriculture for not doing a better job of selecting. Perhaps the board is at fault but could anyone else do any better? When you buy a. horse you can not tell at once whether he will prove to be just What you want. Of course you investigate the record of the animal before you buy and make your choice from that but when he gets to working for you, in a. differ- ent neighborhood and under diflerent conditions, he may change in many ways. The same will ap- ply to the hired man, whether he be the hired man on your farm, the hired man at the head of the Michigan State College, or the hired man governing our State. NON -S’.l‘OP RECORDS papers are full of stories about nonstop records of various kinds—airplane, auto driving, eating, checker playing, dancing, and what have you but the latest one to come to our attention takes the cake. Two Californh farm boys recently completed a 240-hour non-«stop tractor run. The tractor, pulling a nine-foot“ double disk with plank float behind, was used 4 in cultivating an orchard for ten days and nights without a stop. This breaks the previous record of 168% hours established in New Zealand. THAT IS RIGHT N an article in the Breeders Gazette James A. Walker, founder and head of the Blue Valley Creamery Institute, says,"“After watching it closely for many years, I've concluded that with- out good cows, hogs and hens to convertgfield crops into higher priced products, the average farming community is severely Radian-Ole" More ‘truth then poetry in that , ease Association L ' , ,, "may rrrr'rrr’ *fl'"' ' . . f l # a \ l p _ '5 ' i \ n HEN I got home, the hired mun says, “Boss, I've done the but I can. but who on work. or even try, on cold potatoes without pie?

It didn't say whether that was durin' one week or a year. One thing sure, he certainly "falls" for, the horses. Now that congress has adjourned and the wind has stopped blowin' from Washington some of them foreigners who want to fly to America from Europe stand a sportin' chance of makin' it. Congress said they couldn’t pass the corn borer appropriation bill in time to pay for work done this spring and then a week or solater thé bill - goes through to cover work done this comin’ fall and next spring. An’ none of the claims for work done this spring Would be paid ’fore "bout August even if the money was appropriated. Gosh. I must be dumb, ’cause I can't seem to understand how them congressmen figure. Ever hear this one? This is the latest Ford joke I’ve heard. A teller was drivin’ along. the road fbout fifty miles an hour in a Packard and a. Ford pulled up 'long side of him. He figured he couldn’t let a Ford pass so he give ’er more gas and went seventy mil-es an hour. Still the Ford kept up with him and he noticed the driver was tryin’ to talk to him. “What’s the matter?” he says, "Go on and pass me it you want to.” “I can't," yelled the Ford driver, “cause she won’t go any faster in second and I don't [mow how to shift’er into high.” . \ o mm4.| June 15.—Livestock Feeders' Day,» Michigan State College, East Lansing, Mich. , 3‘ I July 27.———Farmers’ Day, Michigan State Cal- lege, East Lansing, Mich.

HAPPILY MARRIED N the last sentence of her letter, this woman has successfully pointed out the real significance of marriage. She has said in exactly two words what many have failed to say in articles hundreds of words long. She describes accurately what the state of marriage should be in its true sense when she calls it a "life work.” A life work—that’s what it should be, not a pastime nor yet a casual occupation, but a service to which to devote one’s whole self. A very wise man once remarked that he would rather have it said of him that he was a good husband and father than a success in his profes- sion. If more people would take this attitude toward marriage in starting out upon the great adventure, unhappy unions would be a rarity. “Yes, I am still in love with my husband. If I were to write all his shortcomings, you would wonder why. (I have plenty of faults, too.) “We were married 38 years ago, and are still living on the same farm. He was 23 and l 17 years of age. I would do the same thing again if it were the same man—I have stated this dozens of times. I have heard it said, and I believe it’s true, that the first five years are the hardest. We must live together to become ac- quainted, and if we are wise (we women) we will tactfully avoid many a quarrel, smile when we’d rather pout, speak good words when we are just bursting to say mean ones, and learn that our supreme , , happiness, comfort, and pleasure within comes from‘ a higher source. “I love my husband more than any man I ever saw. (I have reason to believe he feels the same way about "1116.) He is hone-st and industrious, and one can always depend'on'his ‘word. He is strong morally, phy- sically and mentally. I believe these strong qualities in a man women ad— mire more than any others. “We have three children any parents would be more than proud .of. (They take after their father.) ~They are all married. The in—laws? Well, we just love them. "-“Several years ago my husband . began calling me ‘Duck’ for a pet name (I really believe it’s because I waddle so when I walk), so I call him ‘Drake’. “One very important thing is to have your morning prayers together on your knees the first thing on arising. There are scores of things to learn in married life. Each pair has their own. difficulties and prob- lems to work out for themselves. It’s sport in a way, a life work, an in- itricate game, yes, hard work—but 7it’s worth the venture.——'Duck’.” HOW TO KNOW VEGETABLES OF GOOD QUALITY 0 you know your vegetables? ' -As knowledge of the value of vegetables to healthful >‘ living :increases, the consumption (becomes :greater. It is therefore important ’that every person who provides food for others know his vegetables, their cost, their seasons and their quali- "ties, says W. B. Mack, in Hygeia, 'the popular health magazine oft-he "American Medical Association. . Signs-by which anyone, may recog— ,nize vegetables of good quality are enumerated by Mr. Mack. For in- stance, asparagus of the best quality A. ‘ ‘ has gradually tapering spears. The » {green portion should not be more than 8 inches long.

A story of the West; a new West, where the flivver re— places the old time cow pony, and the courts are substituted for the rattle of gunshots which formerly meted out justice to offenders. A touch of mystery, of love, and the final unwinding of the tangled skein, make a story that will be read with enjoyment by lovers of the real West. (G. Howard Wa't‘t, Publisher. Price $2.00.)

The Souting Editor wants to remind all the members that they are not full—fledged Scouts and are not entitled to their certificate and badge until they have passed the Tender-foot tests. To do this, every member must have an official Boy Scout handbook. This con- tains the things that a Scout must learn. It can- be purchased in any large city where there» is a. Scout organization, usu- ally at book stores and: such clothing stores as are designated “ofl‘lcial Scout outfitters." The. book costs 50; cams. Ii! you cannot obtain it near home, send 55 cents to the Scouting EditOr or THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER and he will mail: you: a. copy. The extra 5- cents is for postage. ~ I. O Six Sent in Cards These six boys are the only ones out of the 22 now registered who- have sent in their Tenderfoot test cards. The others must pass this test and send in their cards at. once if they wish, to remain in the tribe. They are not members in good standing now and cannot be listed as members at all unless their test cards_ are sent in soon. Here are the six in good standing: El- ton Hickmott, Harold Snyder, Howard De- Frain, George Flower, Lawre e LOWell, and George Pardonnet. Get busy, the rest of you! O t t Going to Camp? Summer time is approaching and with ' it most Boy Scouts are thinking of camp. Lone Scouts can go to camp, too. All the Scout councils in the larger cities con- duct camps and will be glad to accomo- date Lone Scouts who live near enough to go to their camps. Write the nearest Boy Scout headquart- ers and ask for information about their camp.

'On one or tWO occasions we have had folks write in after we have told the story of one of our rewards and tell us that they themselves or someone else should have been paid the reward. We carefully investigate every detail of each case and in case cl! a dispute the decision is made by the ,proSecut— ing attorney. Even when the case is clear out in every respect, we consult the sheriff, deputies, prosecuting at— torney and often the trial judge. To illustrate this point, I want to quote a letter from the prosecuting attor- niey of Monroe county in regard to the claim of Wesley Hanna and Les— ter Hanna of Erie, Monroe county. There was a dispute in this instance and in all probability the other party in the case will feel we were unfair to them but here is what Edgar G. Gordon, the pmsecuting attorney has to say about the situation. “The Sherifi advises in satisfaction of your inquiry that the men who gave the original information result- ing in the conviction of McDonald and Thomas, chicken thieves. were Wesley Hanna, and Lester Hanna of Eric, R. F. D., Michigan. They aroused John A. Geyman who was having chickens stolen and whether or not they put in the sheriff call they Were diligent in taking their share of the little duties that aroma surrounding the discovery of the thieving. Geyman was asleep or in total ignorance until these two broth- ers coming home from work at mid- night, made the discoveries, so do not be fooled into giving the reward to anyone else.” i 0 III These brothers are getting our check for $25 a piece for their good work in connection with the arrest and conviction of Tom Thoams and John McDonald. The Hanna boys Were returning home from work at midnight when they discovered two men stealing chickens from one of our subscribers, Mr. Joseph Geyman. They aroused Mr. Geyman who called the sheriff and the arrest was made immediately. Tom Thomas was sentenced to from two to five years at Jackson Prison, and John McDon- ald was sentenced from eighteen months to five years to the same stone house over at‘Jackson. The litmus brothers are to be congratu- lated for their case.

J WARTS ON TEATS ' EAR EDITORz—From time to time I have seen questions in M, B. F. regarding what to do for warts on cow teats and will say this remedy has been used in our family for years. It is just lard or Olive oil. I put it in the palm of my hands just as I start to milk so it gets worked well into the warts because they simply cannot live if kept soft. Some times it takes two months or more to get rid of them. After milk- ing I rub a little more on, and some- times between milkings if I happen in the barn. Yours for success.— Dwight Mick, Benzie County. QUIET KICKING HEIFER EAR EDITOR, Noticing “F. F.'s" request to quiet a heifer that kicks, I have a two—year—old, milks as quiet as her mother. I used a leader in her nose, just have a string in it and hang it on a nail. Don’t need to elevate her nose much. She hardly steps and I did not use it on her over three times. Thanks for the remedy for grubs. I find so many useful things in your papers.———C. S., Kingsley, Michigan. WHITEWASH EAR EDITOR: Do you think any of readers would be inter— ested in this receipt for water- proof whitewash? First take 62 pounds or one bushel of quick lime and slake in 12 gallons of hot water. Second take 2 pounds table salt, 1 pound sulphate of zinc and dissolve in 2 gallons boiling water. Next mix these two and add two gallons of skimmed milk. Mix thoroughly. Alum added to whitewash prevents rubbing off. One pint of molasses added to five gallons of whitewash makes it pene trate wood and plaster surface. A bar of soap dissolved in a gal— lon of boiling water and added to 5 gallons of thick whitewash gives it a gloss like oil paint. We are all interested readers of M. B. F. and could hardly get along without it.—Mrs. Art Felt, Saginaw County. t 7 a ~ . . ‘ OIcars of De Laval Serwce ~ and IzozUj/zlo best ofall. .

As these features have been imitated, still further improvements; have been made. Each De Laval has in its day been the leading separator. As a result more ‘ than four million have been made. They are used in every country of the world,‘ r and there are practically as many in use as all other makes combined. Now the 1928 “Golden Series” De Laval Separators mark another step forWard. They are the crowning achievement in 50 years of leadership an service to the dairy industry. They are the most complete, I , l eflicient and beautiful cream separators ever‘] made. They are all that could be hoped for in such a machine and must prove ‘ a source of pride as well as profit to every owner. 4 Some of the improvements are: Beautiful gold and black finish; come . pletely enclosed gears; improved regulating cover and float; turnable supply J ‘ can; easrer starting and turning; oil window, and the “floating bowl." 3 e The best way to judge a new “Golden Anniversary” De Laval machine is to see one, and better still to try it side-by—side with any other separator.

The lack of either of these essential factors, will give rise to stunted growth, a. greater susceptibility to disease and a. higher mortality. ' 1 , The absence of vitamin A causes a. nutritional disturbance c a l 1 ed “ophthalmia,” the absence of B causes polyneuritis and the absence of D causes leg weakness. The best source of A and B in the ration is whole yellow cornmeal. It is advisable to use the meal from the whole grain because in the degermed cornmeal a greater part of the- vit— amins have been lost with the removal of the germ. Cod—liver oil is also an excellent source of A, whereas wheat bran is an excellent source of B. Two Well known sources of the D vitamin are cod—liver oil and sunlight. Since sunlight is not always available in suflicient amounts, it is advisable to add one per cent of cod—liver oil to the mash. Although a chick ration may be complete as far as protein and min- erals are concerned, unless ample amounts of these important vitamins are present, the poultryman will be unsuccessful in raising the chicks to maturity. -——r CRATE FATTENING OF BROILERS BOUT two weeks before the broilers or roosters are ready for market, confine the strong, vigorous birds in comfortable, clean coops about 60 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 24 inches high. allowing plenty of space for the birds to move about freely, but not enough to encourage violent exercise. ,The coops should be protected from rain and winds and should be arranged to allow easy cleaning. Shallow troughs or long pans must be placed along the side of the coop in such a manner as to allow all the birds to reach the feed at the same time without crowding. A good ration for spring chickens or young roosters weighing 3 pounds or more is as follows: corn meal, 18 pounds; buttermilk, 65 pounds; and the remaining 17 pounds made up of low—grade wheat flour, wheat mid-- dlings, or oat flour. If liquid but- termilk cannot be purchased the ra— THIEVES RATHER WORK IN DARK " " CHICKEN thief wants to do his A stealing in the dark,and does not careto take chances by working where the whole farmstead might suddenly he lighted by the turning of a. switch,” is Oscar Olson’s opinion, as reported in Farmstead, Stock and Home, who believes that his farm lighting plant with its yard and other lights has helped to save‘ his poultry from sneaking prowlers of the night. tion may be altered as follows: corn meal, 38 pounds; wheat. middlings, 31 pounds; bran, 16 pounds; and powdered} buttermilk, 15 pounds. These rations are mixed with enough water or milk to make a batter thin enough to pour readily but not too thin for the birds to take up with case. .With the first ration, which was tested by the United States Depart- mentpf Agriculture over a period of 14 days, 20 to 25 per cent was added, to the weights of 3-pound springers. at the New Jersey Experiment Sta: tion, gave a 38 per cent gain in the 10 days . on 200 White ,Leghorn cockerelsweighing 0.34 pound at the beginning.“ ‘ , . _ ,Special finishing by feeding the birds for 10 to 142‘days in a. fatten- ing battery is sometimes impracti- cable. Where such is the case, profitable gains can be obtained in 10 days by pen fattening. In penfattening, the birds are confined to a pen from .which the dropping platforms and perches have been removed, and the curtains are a ,drawn, except when the birds are actually feeding. ' the purpose of restricting exercise to a minimum. A fattening "ratiOn [similar to those described above is then fed heavily for a period Of ten days or two weeks for the younger birds; for adult birds it may take as long as three weeks. duck farmers use this method ex~ clusively in getting their spring duck- I lings in shape for market. ' At the end of the fattening peri- od, either in the crate or in the pen, the birds are taken directly from the M. B. F.

The birds may be shipped alive, however, if they have only a short distance to go. Regardless of the method prac— ticed in the fattening of birds, the following points should be borne in mind: 1, Growth should be constant; 2, Restrict the bird’s exercise; 3, Do not overfeed; 4, Allow birds to be- come hungry between feedings; 5, Remove birds when “ripe.” Do not stretch out the feeding period. TAPE WORDI My chickens have had tape worms. Gave them medicine and they are better, and starting to lay. Would like to know'what causes'them. Also, I intend getting some brooder chicks and want to ask, would there be any danger of small chicks getting them? —~—O. L., Blissfield, Mich. APE worms in poultry result be- Tp cause the poultry pick up tape worm eggs. Practically all worms develop in this manner. The female worm lays the egg which pass— es out on to the ground and is taken up by some insect pest, such as grubs,.ea.rth worms, files, etc., and after a. certain period of development these insects are eaten by the chick- ens and the eggs hatch out into worms. 4 ' ’ Unless you thoroughly clean and disinfect your poultry house and sprinkle the yards heavily with lime and spade them under, young chicks are likely to develop tape worms if placed in these lots. Use one pound of concentrated lye to 15 gallons of boiling water when cleaning the poultry house. This will destroy the 'worm eggs better than any other product we know of. To get results with baby chicks, you should keep them where no other chicks have' been kept for a year. »You'should ‘select clean ground for them. SOMETHING MADE TO.

Equal re- production of sounds of high and low pitch is necessary if speech and _ . music are to be n a t u r a l a n d pleasing to the ear. The high frequencies are the more neces— sary to clear speech. If you can easily- dis- t i n g u i s h the s o u n d s of the letters S, F, H, P, B, _D, T, etc., without confus- ing t h e m y o u , can be sure your loudspeaker is getting the high fre- quencies. The low frequencies, give a pleasing depth and fullness to music. The drums a-ndithe bass viol are almost Completely-lost with a poor loudspeaker. Almost all horn type speakers re- produce the high notes. To respond to low notes the horn must have a very large mouth, but even when this is provided, .the stiffness of the diaphram prevents the reproduction of very loud sounds at low fre— quencies. Cone type speakers have achieved their popularity through their bet- ter handling of low notes. The paper cone is not so stifi as a small di- aphram and Can vibrate more strong- ly. .The low notes will be radiated much more loudly if the cone is mounted in a round hole cut in the center of a large board four to six feet square. Such an arrangement is called a.“baff1e board" and it pre- vents the waves of air pressure from merely passing around the edge of the cone without producing sound. The high priced loudspeakers use a bafile board in the form of a box B. K. Osborn cabinet, bpen’ in the back, and with the cone mounted in a hole in the frent. Major Hoople of “Our Board- ing House" recently put his loud- ' speaker in one end of a wooden keg. ‘ All joking aside, some such scheme will make a wonderful improvement in. the reproduction of low notes and is well worth trying. Many cones, while giving good re- production on the low notes, sound thick and drummy because they fail to bring out the high notes. If you happen to have an old horn type speaker, even one of poor‘ quality, try connecting it in series. with the cone. If the latter has a _‘.‘paper rustle" on the high notes, a. con- denser of .002 microfarads connect- ed across it will put the burden of these high tones on the born. In one case this scheme not only gaye‘very good tone quality but increased the volume considerably. ' SERVING THE FARMERS~ 0 radio program is complete that does not give attention to the farmer's desires and needs. The National Broadcasting Company ap- preciated that fact when it was or- ganized and the officials decided to employ a man who was thoroughly familiar with agriculture to direct that part of their programs, Frank E. Mullen was the man they picked. Mr. Mullen spent the first seven- teen years of his life on the farm and then attended Iowa State College where he took up a course in agri— cultural journalism, graduating in 1922. The next six years were spent in the newspaper and farm magazine fieldnone position being radio editor of the National Stockman and Farm- er of Pittsburg. It was while there that he organized the first regular farm market and weather report service for Station KDKA. In No— vember, 1926, he went to his present position. - Solve Farm Problems Through Organization (Continued from Page 3) their home markets. But that isn’t the point of the article. It is not a jusification or condemnation of Ag- riculture that is sought. Will agri- culture learn? ' That is the question. It is not suggested that remedies that were applied to industry and la- bor will work with agriculture. Agri- culture is a seasonal occupation. The weather has vastly more to do with producing a surplus than does in- creased or decreased acreage, as is promptly shown by census figures. Business did not shut down busi- ness to make prices but aims to get prices and continue to produce. La- bOr does not desire to be unemployed to get good wages during employ- ment but labor eliminates competi- tion through shorter hours, immigra- tion laws, etc. Will agriculture learn? Listen to the sirens that shout, “You produce too much, you must be more effi- cient, you should diversfiy’, your remedies are radical," etc. ' Does efificiency eliminate our sur- plus problem? Will any amount of efficiency make a protective tariff system effective on a crop on which we produce a surplus? The farmer must be efficient but efficiency alone will not solve the problem. ‘ Diversification—a necessary step when farmers with fixed expenses face low prices and must produce more or go broke. From a national viewpoint it only changes and com- plicates our surplus problem. Is it efiicient to grow hogs where potatoes are better adapted? Do we want to, shut downer change 'our farm‘oper- ations in order to go on or is it better economics and sounder sense 'to solve our problem, as has indus- try and labor, by making it possible .to operate our farms to a reasonable capacity and at' a profit? ' ' Legislation Radicalism—will the ‘ f a r m e r learn? For ages any legislation of interest to gagriculture has been dubbed radicalism, class legislation. It won't .work! 'But legislation for _ business and labor'has‘worked. Leg- islation-is no sure .at all.. In the '>_~ .,/i main the farmers must solve their own problems. But, let’s not be be- fuddled in our thinking by the cries of those who like to dodge the real issue. Agriculture is at a fourth stage in her economic existence. We can no longer live off the produce ol.’ our land. Profits have shrunk and there seems no way of meeting the situation as an individual. We must recognize the value of bargaining power as has labor and industry. I fear that if we don't do this some one else will and the farmer will be- come a peasant and I do not believe farmers will stand for that. But—we have gained some bar- gaining power that farmers have gained. Will the farmer‘learn? If he doesn’t we’ll have to start all over again the long process of building up an organized agriculture. We‘ are facing a new economic or-- der so far as agriculture is concerned and the farmer is finding out that efficiency is necessary but that it only complicates his problem if other factors entering into the. success or failure of his business are not given attention proportionate to their im- portance. Co—o-perative marketing has helped but it does not meet the surplus problem. A third factor, organization, giving him ability through group action to gain more bargaining power and protection to his industry seems to be the crying need in meeting a is new economic. situation in whic the farmer finds himself. Labor and industry have gained the right and worked out the technique of collective bargaining. Agriculture, through court decision after court decision, has maintained its right to 'co-op'erate. Agriculture" has still to work out the technique of making‘ organized agriculture function for the improvement of a great industry to a degree compara- ble to what has been done in other fields. That agriculture will'do thin I firmly believe. To bring back the purchasing power of agriculture. in almost as importantsto industry as to agriculture itsolf. It must and will be done. ‘ , ,— ment.

Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. B. D. A. (Special to T1111 BUIINIIIS FARMER) ICE levels around the 1st of June were a little below the spring’s highest points, but they compared strongly with prices a year ago. Nearly the whole list of farm products is higher than in June, 1927. The improved buying position of the farmer has become a mainstay of hope for a prosperous year in general business. Early weather conditions have thrown some doubt on the prospect for a heavy productiOn of grain and cotton, and the same conditions have hindered or delayed the usual large seasonal output of dairy and poultry products and some of the truck crops. Such a state of affairs helps keep prices up. Gains and losses the last week of May were so closely_bal-_ anced that the average level of most leading products was not far from that of the week before. Grain, cotton, and wool made a stronger showing than livestock and green produce. Grains Hard winter wheat continued to make favorable progress with mois- ture generally sufficient over most of the area. Wheat is heading in southern Kansas and jointing as far north as southern Missouri. The soft winter wheat crop did fairly well but the condition continues generally poor. Prices still tend generally up- ward. North African durum wheat is now competing with United States grain in European markets and ex- port demand has fallen off. Demand for rye, however, was rather limited both from domestic buyers and ex— porters. Corn planting is now prac- tically completed in nearly all of the great producing sections, which is in marked contrast to last year when considerable areas in the interior valleys had very little corn planted at the close of the first week in June. Supplies in some of the central west— ern markets Were larger than cur— rent requirements. Oats tended slightly higher but the new crop made satisfactory progress and de- mand became less urgent. Feeds Better pasturage has materially reduced the demand for most feeds and brought a further decline in prices of the principal feeds, with the exception of gluten feed and cot- tonseed meal. The production of wheat feeds was somewhat restricted by the poor flour demand and the output at the principal milling cen- ters was the smallest weekly output since the first week in January. All offerings of wheat feeds for immedi- ate shipment are being readily taken but there is little demand for de- ferred shipments which are quoted at $1.50-$2.50 below current prices. The output of alfalfa meal during April was the smallest for any month since July. Pastures and meadows in the central and northern states showed improvement but were still backward in the eastern Ohio Valley. Alfalfa and prairie hay markets held about steady. Cattle Price slashings of unabated severity featured trading on strong weight slaughter steers and the better grades of fat she—stock, particularly those carrying weight, in Chicago trading during the last week of May. Depressing features were an exces- sive run of heavy steers, an increase of 19,000 cattle in the week’s aggre— gate marketings at eleven points as compared with the week previous, a Jewish holiday on Friday, which cur— tailed shipping demand particularly for weighty cattle early in the week, and a sluggish dressed beef market, especially on weighty carcasses and cuts. ‘ ’ H085 . Hog values fluctuated rat h or Sharply under an irregular market- ward movement, but week-end prices showed strength on the better grade , of butchers of all weights and alight weakness on packing sows and , _, 9 v, . _ " the lower grades of light. hogs as compared with a week earlier. Con~ sidering the hog supply volume, the eleven market total for the week be- ing 51,000 in excess of the week pre- vious,_big packer bearishness anda slow fresh po‘rk market, the trade gave a good account of itself. Sheep ' The market on the better grades of fat lambs, both old and new crop; ' was sensitive to a marked degree in supply 'figures, advancing sharply while the lower grades showed slight decline. Wool Medium quality fleeced wools graded out of the new clip sold readi- ly where holders were willing to ac- cept current prices. The market on 56’s was about 55 cents in the grease with a similar price quoted for strictly combing Ohio's and simi- lar wools. Recent arrivals of terri- tory wools showed staple of longer growth and more grading is being n. , towarth higher priges at pres— en' vStorage figures are running about the same as last year. Quality is not so good, a feature which will possibly help to sustain prices on fancy eggs. ._ q ' ' Poultry Broilers in storage show fairly good clearance, but increasing fresh receipts sell 'Iower. Fowls, both fresh and frozen, are reported in good position with market firmer. -Roasting chickens are also 'in good . position and prices have been well sustained. ' . Potatoes The Florida potato season is con- tinuing exceptionally long and ship- ments of late planted potatoes in the Hastings district still amounted to 1,300 cars the past week. Florida has already forwarded. 6,800 cars, compared with 5,400 all of last sea‘ son. South Carolina increased to 475 and Texas to 470 cars, while Ala- bama shipped 300 and Louisiana 1-80 1..

Lines selling in original bags continued to move out of the market as rapidly as received with prices firm to slightly stronger. Butter Although the butter markets gen- erally have been rather nervous and unsettled, the underlying position seems to be rather firm. For this time of year, prices in May were ranging higher than they have been since 1920. To some extent this might be accounted for in the late season. General reports regarding production conditions are that a rather sharp increase may be expect— ed in June, with lower prices not un- likely. Eggs Advices indicate that egg produc- tion is late but is expected to con- tinue over a longer period than last year. Many feel that while there will probably be less eggs than last our last quotation. Business is rath- er quiet with the supply ample to take care of demand, which is very limited at present.

Germination will be better this week than next. With the rising temperature at beginning of week there will be some showery and unsettled weather. I However, it will not be until the middle of he week before there will be some rather severe, local storms with wind and thunder. Again atthe close of this week many counties in the State will wit- ness severe local storms of thunder, rain and‘wind. Week of June 17 For the early days of the week of the 17th in Michigan, temperatures will be making a downward trend. :The local storms of last week will run into this and will be followed by a sharp change to , cooler. Cool weather will range in the State until about the middle of the week. At this time there will be increased stormi- ness with scattered showers and wind storms. With these storms there will be a rapid increase of the temperature. . > With the closing days of this week the weather will brighten up. There will be more clear skies, sunshine and better drying conditions. The week will end with much lower tem- peratures in most parts of the State. Potato Prospects Supplementing our weather fore- cast for the summer months in intentions on potato planting this year, we foresee a large crop and low prices this fall. The potato yield is expected to be very good providing it gets by the early season satisfac- torily. Based upon weather condi- tions alone, we do not believe the, 1928 potato crop will be bothered much with scab or blight, at least we do not look, for any late blight to take down the yield this (all. EXPECT N0 DAMAGE FROM BEAN BEETLE HAT no commercial damage will be done to beans in Michigan by the Mexican bean beetle within the next two years is the opin- ion of the Department of Entomology at the Michigan State College. Last year a few of the beetles were collected from southeastern Michigan counties. An ordinary ob~ server would have failed to notice that the beans in the fields where the beetles were found had been damaged at all. Michigan bean growers are advised by the Department of Entomology to disregard the presence of the beetle in making plans. Control methods for this pest are known. These meth- ods have made the growing of beans possible in sections where the beetle is present in serious numbers. This insect is a member of the common ladybug family, and resem- bles the well known members in shape and size. It is yellowish‘ brown in color, and the outer Wing covers are ornamented with sixteen or more black dots. A complete description of the in- sect, its life history, and effective control measures are given in Cir- cular Bulletin No. 107. published at the Michigan State College. Illus- trations in the bulletins show both the adult and larvae stage of the Mexican bean beetle. - THANKS I am writing you to tell you I received the stationery from the Grand Rapids 1 company and I want to thank for your" services—Mrs. E.

' I Consider the work a tractor does in the field. It has its nose to the ground every foot of the way—actually - eating up dust. Not exactly a dainty job! It’s hot in the engine too. Friction causes heat. Against the dust and the heat there is only one ' protection— 011— the right oil. ' - Polarine of the proper grade is the right oil to use be cause it protects every part of the engine from dust and the heat of friction. It spreads its smooth film between the moving surfaces, keeping them from contact, ‘pre venting dirt and dust from grinding them away. Polar‘ ine means much to a hot and dusty engine! Polarine means a lot to you because it enables you to get the most work out of your machine. You paid a lot of money for your tractor. Polarine helps you to get full value from your investment. ' Millions of men on farms throughout the Middle West have found that Polarine will lubricate their tractors with a maximum efficiency at a minimum cost.
