The agricultural high school students during their sum- m e r vacations put into practice the theory and knowledge which t h e y h a v e learned during the regular school year. The Agricultural. In- structors, being very anxious that these crop or ani- mal projects are a sucess in or- der that they do not cast an inferior reflection upon their teaching ability, wear out considerable shoe leather and automobile rubber in looking after them.

All of these problems are Watched by the Agricultural Instructor and the remedy taught to the lad on the farm. This real teaching and experi- ence makes him a real farmer and usually his crops or his animals look better than do Dad’s on the farm. All of this training will tend to make the boy a superior farmer of tomor- row which he must be if he expects to make any headway in the agri- cultural fleld of farming. O t t l . Chess Doesn‘t Grow from Wheat While visiting One of my boy's pro- _ jects a few days/ago. the lad said: “I wish you would-explain to dad that cheat does not grow from wheat." This is an old question and many farmers still believe that cheat, or chess as it is some times called, grows from an injured wheat plant. The boy is right; it doesn’t, but I’ll admit that the evidence looks very suspicious. The boy’s father took that a "drag’across his wheat field in the spring, and‘in the path of the drag there developed later a very abun— dant growth, of chess. He also main- tained that the injured wheat plants turned tolchess. Although the evi- dence did rather hear him out, he was mistaken. - The injured wheat plants died’and-atheir absence made ,room for the chess, which was either in the seed wheater laying dormant in the soil to develop. Mr. Meeks gave a very good explana’tion‘oi this matter in his department a few is- sues ‘ago. We must adjust our ideas on the chess-wheat question the same as we do on» the moon-crop question. We have grown out ‘of the superstitious age and no longer be- lieve in such illusions. fiYbu cannot injured; Packard car. and produce a Ford; you can not injure field corn and develop pop corn, and for the same reason you cannot injure wheat - and produce chess.

A good spray program of Bor- deau mixture on the potato plants when they are three to six inches high, and applied every ten days or "two weeks will aid materially in con- trolling the disease. Many good po- tato growers use this spray whether the blight appears or not as a pre- ventative. A crop can be saved after the blight is recognized, however, if applied at once. Blight is easily recognized by the greasy appearing or waterso‘aked spots on the tips and edges of the leaves. A badly blight— ed fleld looks as if' it hadybeen struck by frost. A good potato bulletin can be obtained by writing Michigan State College and asking for club bulletin No. 2. t t t Farmer's‘Day Farmer's Day at Michigan State College this year Will be held on July 27.

The hay crop consisted of an' alfalfa field of long standing. Alfalfa fs especially adapted to that territory because the soil is naturally STORY IN NEXT ISSUE ECAUSE of shortage of space we have found it necessary to ‘hold over the installment of the ~story, "Oatapnlt." scheduled for this issue.

The general rotation then con- sisted of corn and cats. The corn ground was manured well before the corn was planted. The following year the corn ground was plowed and sowed to oats. The oats was fertil- ised and seeded with sweet clover. The next year the sweet clover was plowed under and planted to corn thus starting the short rotation over again. After the alfalfa field had run for six or seven years the (same ' rotation was started on it. and the corn and oats rotation plot wasput to alfalfa. 'I believe this rotation. is an excellent one for 'a dairy term in Michigan and I’ve a good mind to try it out on “Spring Water Farm.

Clemens, Mich, under act Mar. 3. 1879. mm... at of LOONA county is located in the midst of the cut-over region in the lower peninsula or northern Michigan. one of us wit-standing and most successful farmers. is Sam- uel P. Hertzler, near the little town ' a of Glennie. The story of this farm- er’s decided success should prove of interest for thereason that so many have tried farming in this section and, for one reason or another, have failed. ‘ ' More than one abandoned farm will be seen in a drive through this country—a. small, deserted shack, perhaps another building or two, a few acres of cleared land, and then -—the edge of the brush and timber. One man, seeing these little deserted farms, called this "“the Country of ‘Blasted Hopes.” It has proved to be that for many; for others it has been the land of realized hopes. Let’s get on with our story of how Hertzler made a real success of farm- ing in this section. He came to Al- cona county from Ohio in 1909 and purchased a quarter section of cut- over land. His immediate task was to clear the land, put up a shack and barn, and then get the cleared land in shape for crops. I His first crops the following spring, were oats and clover seeded together, corn and potatoes. Though this re- gion is rather far north for corn, he has succeeded in getting some ma- ture corn almost every year since that time, and for most of these years he has had a little seed corn to sell to his neighbors. He is especial- ly well pleased with Wisconsin No. 113, an extra early yellow dent that appears to be will adapted to this section. ’ When he came from [01110, he brought with him a half dozen pure— bred Toggenburg goats and for four- teen years he‘ kept a small flock of them. They aided very much in pro- viding an income during those first few years, for threenmonths-old kids sold readin at $50 to $75 each. ' During his first years in Alcona county, he paid special attention to dairying, milking as many as twenty covvs at one time. He says dairying is one of the greatest opportunities for‘ this region. He likes to handle sheep better, however, so the latter have replaced his dairy herd to a large extent. Most of the cattle in the Hertzler herd today are high- grade Herefords, the. calves being sold as long yearlings. Started Orchard -' One of the first things Hertzler did when he came to this county was to set aside an acre of ground for an orchard. ‘The orchard now con- sists of two and a half acres of apple, pear and cherry trees. He has found the Early Harvest and Yellow Trans- parent the best summer apples for this country, Wealthy and Duchess ~ of Oldenburg for fall, and Jonathan, Snow or ’ Fameuse, Northwestern Greening, Wagner Romanite and Gano the best winter varieties. The Bartlett stands at the top among the pears, and the Early Richmond among the cherry varieties". The sale of surplus apples. also iaddspto the a . farm income. The‘tr'ees are carefully prunedand sprayed so that fruit or excellent quality is produced“ Elm Lfiffit‘ few years, he has grown'filéypr 82nd alfalfa in it.

MUILENBURG L—....__..._..___._.._ ~_. If Samuel P. Hertzler. of Alcona county, was not making a success of his farming he could not build such a fine fine home as this. Of his flock until he now has 200 high-grade breeding ewes. The western ewes he purchased were bred up with Rambouillet and rams. Ewes are brought through the winter on mixed hay, much the greater part of it a legume, and for the last six weeks before lambing they receive two pounds of oats each, per day. Because of the usual— ly late spring in this section, the lambing season begins about the middle of April and lasts until about the first of June. From the time they are dropped until they reach market at Buffalo, around the first of December, the lambs 'do not know the taste of grain, yet they are in such goad con— dition that they generally bring the day’s top price. Volunteer clover grows in much of this region, it af— fonds abundant pasturage, and to its luxuriant growth .must go the credit for the lambs' prime condition at time of marketing. Hertzler says there is no great amount of hard work connected with sheep raising, but when they require care they must have it at once———or profits go glimmering. Lambing time is, of course, a very busy time on the Hert'zler farm. Wonrorhro “memo TEAM ' I 5% mm. from over 00 Smith-Engines schools '* A.

Springs and small streams supply an abundance of pure clean water. Sheds and barns pro— tect them from cold rains, storms and snow, for, while sheep are able to endure considerable dry cold, they cannot endure a combination of cold and dampness. Several Swarms of Bees For the past several years, from eight to ten stands of bees have pro- duced a quantity of honey above family requirements and the surplus has found a. ready market at excel- lent prices. Hertzler says 'he has also found the bees an important factor in growing crops for seed be- cause their work in the fields makes for a more thorough pollination of the blossoms. For the two-fold purpose of hay crop and rapid soil improvement, vHertzler seeded Mammoth clover on ground which had been cleared of brush but which still contained quite a humber of stumps. Later, alsike and medium red clover were also grown. W” M M 4! Vocabulary W l ’ Pad Thai Many ailed Did NetStop Him From Buying Farm In Cut-Over Region .; " collegemc . A number of years ago, however, he tried out white sweet clover, seed- ing it in the spring with oats. He found that it yielded well, provided excellent pasturage and made a good quality of hay if out when not too high and rank. He also found this legume very valuable for its soil- enriching properities, its root nod- ules storing up a considerable quan- tity of nitrogen. Seeded Some Alfalfa Six years ago he made his first trial seeding of alfalfa. It was seed- ed on ground on which sweet clover had previously been grown and the , seed was also inoculated. For the first four years he used a common 3 variety of alfalfa seed and cut fair- is ly good crops of hay, but for the ' past two years he has seeded only the northern—grown Grimm variety with much better success. The le- gume produces from three to four tons per acre on the Hertzler farm. Instead of seeding it in the spring, he sows the alfalfa seed late in the summer. The field intended for al- falfa is plowed late in the fall and repeatedly disked and harrovved from the time the ground can be worked in the spring until late July or the first week in August, by which time the seed bed is in the very best shape to receive the seed. ‘The constant cultivation keeps downs the weeds and conserves the moisture, the lat: ter an important point where a hot spell in summer is not at all unusual.~ Hertzler uses a. seven—inch grain _. drill for seeding and sows at the rate of twelve pounds per acre. He says this summer-fallowing system gives him the best stand and most vigorous , growth. Last summer a field intend- ed for alfalfa was found by test to :53 be acid and a fairly heavy application ;' of marl was made to neutralize the ' acidity. This marl analyzed 95 per, cent pure lime. : Hertzler grows a. certain acreage of fodder corn each year and he says that of all the various roughage 5;; feeds he has grown this gives him‘ the greatest amount of feed per acre. : He is one of a ring of six farmers in his immediate vicinity who own a co—operative threshing outfit and ' 4i; tractor. It is not a large outfit, but . it fulfills the requirements very well, ' ' ' and these farmers have the satisfac- tion of knowing that their threshing; will be done when they want it done,55 and in short order—there is no waitqi ing until the custom thresher comes along. - ' Owns 525 Acres Hertzler now owns 525 acres of‘ Alcona county land, paid for in full, -_' of which 65 acres are cleared of ‘4 brush and stumps and 320 acres are} partly cleared. , He is an all—around good farmerl “a and what is more, he is a good man-. ager, with everything that that im- plies. There is system in his work and no putting ofi until tomorrow, what should be done today. Not a. pound of grain is sold from this farm; it is marketed in the form of live stock and thus the fertility is kept on the farm. The workshop leaks like a combination of machine shop and blacksmith shop. ' In addition to making a. real suc-‘ cess of farming, Hertzler has not been too busy to take a prominent? part in community affairs.

Matters of this kind can usually be adjusted between the school board and those concerned, and a question as broad as this cannot be specifically answered. ' PLANTING “IN THE MOON' Some time ago I read of inquiries regarding planting “in the moon.” Now it is always a safe gamble to plant things growing above the ground in the light or new of the moon, while those growing below ground should be ‘planted in the. dark of the moon. The signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are best for all planting al-‘- though Cancer is [the most produc- tive. Scorpio is good for corn and the most fruitful of all. ‘equaL Taurus, Capricornfand .Libra are second best. Taurus! is best for po- tatoes and root'crops:fi'Libra“ 'pro- duces a great pulp..grow:th ‘_and_rOots. This sign .is also good for. flowers. The other six signs tend to bar- renness and are good for; destroying weeds and noxious growths, especial- ly between the 1st and. 20th er I August. Onions and hay may be sewn in the sign of Sagittarius and beans and cucumbers in Gemini. The gathering of seed and harvest- ing should be done in the old of the moon in the signs of Cancer, Pisces and Capricorn. - v ' . Now all of this does not amount to much if-the ground is poor, or seed poor, or the seedabed has not been i properly prepared. That, I think, is the main thing in planting.——Mrs.‘ W. S. P., Ortonville, Mich. . HE writer of this letter, hits the moon _sign question fairly when she declares the results depend - upon the kind of seed and. soil in . which it is planted. The idea of, the entire plan is that with all conditions seed planted according to proper moon positions will bring . forth the best results.

It is your college again, farm folks, and you are going to get far more benefit out of it in the future than you have in the past, especially during the last few years. We do not recall any time during our acquain- tanceship with the college when the agricultural division seemed more interested in its work or looked forward with such eager interest to what the future may bring forth. ..

RMERS of the corn belt do not seem so busy . now trying to decide which way they are go- ing to vote this fall as they are trying to lig- ure out what happened at Kansas City. Certain farm leaders, loud in their condemnation of the administration, promised a huge demonstration and it turned out like it was a wet firecracker. Do you suppose some of these leaders are making eyes at the high salaried jobs someone will be getting if the McNary-Haugen bill ever became a law rather than trying to really assist the farmers? EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR 8 our good Friend Meeks said in the July 7th issue, “I have just recently ceased to think of the 1927 State Fair, and lo, I pick up a paper and read an advertisement telling all about the 1928 State Fair." Time certainly dock-fly and before we know it fair time will be upon us, perhaps before we are ready for it if we intend to put up an exhibit. And why not exhibit if we have anything worth while to show? Exhibits make the fair, whether it be county or State. You cannot have an agricultural fair without good exhibits and the more the better. Most of us are too much inclined to underestimate our products before fair is held and then after looking at the exhibits feel like kicking ourselves for not making some entries. How often you hear the remark, “Why we have better than that at home!" But having something better at home doesn’t help the fair and it doesn't help you. There are many reasons why yew-should exhibit at the fair but there are at least three very good ones, any one of which ought to be enough to cause you to enter the'best you have. One reason is that plenty of good exhibits help build interest in the fair which helps your com- “\munity and your State and in turn helps you .per- sonally. V A second good reason is that you stand the chance of winning some money. We know of ' several farmers who exhibit annually at two or \ more fairs, picking up quite a bit of extra money. A few of them travel all over the State visiting and exhibiting at county fairs. in Septem- “Tée Business ’ FARMER + ' outzof‘it.” Perhaps ha" _ are raising.

It is Fruit and. Bees in” our fruit producing districts. Experiments show that bees strip the pollen in gathering nectar and thereby fertilize the blossoms which results in an increased fruit production. - r This is in line with Michigan’s diversified crops program. Even the fruit grower will not have his eggs all in one basket, having at least fruit and honey to market. If there is a State in the Union where the average farmer has a better chance to make good year after year we would like to hear of it. RURAL RELIGION ,HERE are 61,000,000 people living in rural America today who are not receiving the inspiring ministrations of religion that should be theirs, according to Rev. Paul Peterson, of the'F‘irst Presbyterian Church, of Pontiac. Rev. H. W. Foreman, director of rural work in the social service department of the Episcopal church, New York City, estimates it at 45 mil- lions. Take either figure: the highest or the lowest, and you have something worthy of much serious thought. ‘ ' There is no doubt about there being much truth ' in what these gentlemen say but We believe that in setting these high figures they should have said “do not attend church" rather than “not re— ceiving the inspiring ministrations of religion.” V With the decline of the old_country church there has been a decline’in religion to a. certain extent in rural communities, especially those far removed from towns and cities. Some of the members have gone to .town to places of worship on Sunday, to churches that are far finer than anything they ever had in the country, where they listen to sermons that are more polished and perhaps more inspirational than any delivered by the poorly paid and equipped pastor of their old country church. But there are many more who have not gone to town or city on Sunday, prefer- ring to do their worshipping at home rather than travel some distance to a church where they would feel ill at ease, surrounded by strangers, many of them dressed in the heighth of fashion. As long as their humble country church contin- ued to function they attended there, worshipping God among their kind, among neighbors they knew by their first names. When the old church closed because of lack of funds to support it-they ' transferred their place of worship to their ow home. I It is here where such men as our own Rev. Warner are doing their hit. Farm papers all over the country have added a' rural pastor to their stair of contributing editors, until we doubt if there is a section that is not served by at least one paper that makes a sermon a regular feature. Their sermons are going into the homes—many of them at least—to take the place of the country pastor and the city pastor. terson and Rev. Foreman have not taken these faithful servants into consideration, or the radio which is being used so extensively, in setting their , figures, or if their figures mean farm folks not attending church they should so state.

There is the teller who fishes 'cause he enjoys the. sport. An' then there’s the teller who fishes ’cause he's too lazy to work. I see by the paper that Mr.‘ Warden, of the Moderation League of Michigan, who promised 63,000 signers to a petition so's we could vote on prohibition this fall got only 6,000 names. Kinda looks like his ‘wet ideas were “all wet" as far as most folks are concerned. Only 234 people were killed on the last Fourth ' of July in this country. The fact that senators ain’t called on so much to talkron this day any more may have somethin' to do with the decline in the death rate. Certainly a teller couldn't be held reaponsible for what he did after facin' .one of them gas attacks for a hour or so. Ever hear this one? A teller was drivin' along the road in hiscar at a fast rate of‘speed when he had an accident and it turned over. ‘ He went to the nearest» house to telephone to a A garage. , "Hello," he said. "I've- turned‘ turtle. you send someone out to help me?" “I'm afraid not,” replied the new boy who was none tee bright. “You ain't got the right number.

'GEI‘TING THE QUACK DOCTORS FIEW of us realize the large num- ber of quack doctors that are _ living off the people in this. country or appreciate the huge sums of money they bleed their victims 01 annually. 1 Detroit, said to have around two hundred quack doctors, recently started a clean up, the State police working with the city officials. The first place they raided was called “Doctors for Men?’ and was operated by three men, only one of whom was a physician although all of them claimed to be. Daily receipts of the oflice frequently exceeded 1,000 dol— lars, according to” the records seized and, while a complete check has not ,Jieen made, oiiicials are of the opin- ion that the office took in well over a hundred thousand dollars last year. One of the victims, a foreigner who has been inn, this country three 'years, was interviewed. On Novem- ber 23, 1927, he‘had a sore on his lip that made him nervous so he de- cided to see a doctor about it. Notic- ing the “Doctors for Men” advertised free advice he went to them. But it turned out their advice was not as free as it first appeared to be. After an examination the “doctors” de- clared ‘ it was caused by a venereal disease and it would cost him $450 for a complete cure. - He assured them he did not have any money with him and they said that was all right, but to give them an order and his bank book and they would go to the bank and get it. He finally con- sented to do this and when he later. got his book back he discovered they had withdrawn $453; the three dol- lars were for medicine. This left him a balance of $629. which they did not propose to let get away from them, because on December 5th they told him that his case was much worse than they had first thought the correction Box “_ . .

Three days later he paid fifty dollars and on December 24th he paid $100 more,- making a total of $1,470, not including $3 a week for medicine. 5" Affidavits from other vic t i m s showed payments for treatment of from a few dollars to $2,000, depend- ing on how much he bad. They claimed to be a member of a large company wit-h offices in all the larg- er cities, and when the victim failed to show much interest in their diag- nosis they would advise one of their "specialists" would be in town the next day and. examine him. It was the business of the “specialist” to throw dear into the man’s mind so that they could bleed him to the limit. Officials who worked on the case advise that one of the “special— ists” was a veterinarian and another a former coal miner from Pennsyl- vania. And this is but one oilice in one large city. Think of the thousands there must be in the United States, all of them making good money at it y or they would not be in it. CORAL GABLES BANIKRUPT LORIDA’S boom days are recalled with the announcement that three creditor companies, listing claims aggregating $4,050, have asked a receivership for the Coral Gables Corporation, developers of, the largest subdivision project in Flor— ida. During the time when Florida real estate was climbing skyward and prices were going to heights en— tirely beyond reason this company b o u g h t pages and double-page spreads in colors in many of the lead- ing magazines of the country. At one time Coral Gables, located on the outskirts of Miami had a pop— ulation of 12,000. It was built on land reclaimed from the wilderness. An estimate recently made of the company gave an outstanding in- debtedness of $29,000,000 with no available assets for immediate liqui— dation. THE LATEST IN CATTLE RUSTLING DIANA has discovered the latest . in cattle rustling. A farmer held an auction sale of 40 dairy cows. One was bought by a stranger, who gave the name of “James Brown” to the clerk. \ As the sale went on “James Brown” and his purchase were forgotten until at the end when buyers were making final settlement before departing for home with their newly—acquired cows and it was then learned that he had loaded his cow into a. trailer attached to his car and left for points unknown. Those who saw him load the cow thought he had made proper arrangement about taking his before others did, so asked no questions. Officers are looking for the man but at this writing have no clues as to his whereabouts. He is described as being about 36 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs around 160 pounds and wears shell— rimmed glasses. The cow is an un- registered Guernsey, about half white, with udder well shaped and a small fifth teat on the right side. ‘ THANKS _ I have got a shipping bill from M. W.

They are substantially made of aluminum, fitted with a steam gauge, 'a petcock '.'forthe escape of steam, and a .safety valve. A pressure cooker is prac‘ tically a miniature canning factory enabling the housewife to get the high temperature and pressure used in commercial canning. This reduces the time of processing, which is im- portant when considerable canning is done, and practically eliminates the danger of spoilage in canning meats and non-acid vegetables. The first cost of a pressure cooker is ra- ther high, but it will more than pay its~way in a large family, as it is ad- mirable for cooking large joints of meat, old fowls, etc. As it greatly reduces the time for general cooking it is also a fuel saver and time saver, » . ‘ and therefore a money saver. Pressure canners vary according to their manufacture and are usually accompanied by printed directions. Although these may not give com- plete information as to the period of processing, it is advisable to observe the instructions for operating and caring for the canner. The following general rules and precautions should also be observed: ' 1. Pour enough water into the canner so that the level of the water ’is just below the rack on which the jars are to be placed. Have the can- ner on the fire and see that the water is boiling when the jars are ready to be processed. 2. Put in the jars. Adjust the lid of the canner. 3. Have the petcock on the cooker open until steam escapes in a steady stream, indicating that the air has been ex- pelled. 4. Close the petcock and keep it closed during the cooking process. 5. Bring the pressure to the desired point slowly and note the time when this pressure is reached. Process for the required length of time, keeping the pressure station— ary during the entire period. 6. At the end of the processing period, turn out the fire or remove the cooker from it. The pressure will gradually drop to zero. Let the pressure in- dicator stand at zero for a few min- utes before opening the petcock. 7. Open the petcock gradually, al- lowing the steam to escape slowly. When no more steam comes through the petcock, release the clamps, open the cooker, take out the jars, and seal them immediately. MORE ABOUT CANNING \ N SPITE of the length of the arti- cle on this subject in the last is- sue, there is still considerably more to be said before the topic is covered adequately. However, we will attempt to be brief. This time we will touch upon the preparation and. canning of vegetables. There are a great many of you, we know, ' who are anxiously waiting to hear the best method of putting up corn and peas, judging by the letters of inquiry we receive. Sweet Germ—Select corn in the “milk” stage just before it reaches the “dough” stage. Can it as quickly as possible after it is picked. Remove the husk and silk. Place the corn on the cob in a tightly covered vessel of boiling water for five or ten minutes in order to SE-t the milk. 'Cut the kernels close to the cob. The remaining pulp may be scraped and canned for soup. Pack the corn loosely in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch space at top. Add a. level teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Add boiling water to within V.» inch of top. Partially seal and process in boiling water for three hours. Seal jars, cool, and store them. Peas—Select young, tender peas for canning and can them as promptly as possible after they are picked. Put the peas in a cheese cloth bag or wire basket and place in a tightly covered kettle of boiling water for five or ten minutes. Pack loosely in the jars, leaving 1,é inch space at the top. Add one teaspoonful salt to each quart and boiling water to % inch of top. Partially seal and pro- cess in boiling water for three hours. Seal jars, cool, and store them. 1 String Beans.——Use only fresh, tender string beans. Wash thoroughly, remove strings and tips. If desired, cut pods into short lengths. Place in a tightly covered kettle of boiling water for five or ten minutes. Cold dip and pack into jars. Add one teaspoonful of salt per quart and boiling water to % inch of top: ‘Partially seal and process for two hours in rbolllng water.

At the end 'of a'hdt summer’s day -what is more refreshing . than to‘ have supper in the open down, by the. creek. along SOme shady. river, bank,.,or. atop. some towering hill that commands a view of the ,countryside?‘ There isn't any need id‘dress up' or fuss“ When John comes up from the field just have everything ‘ready‘in a basket, and as soon as he ha washed and changed his shirt hop into the car and array. tor, if you haven’t a car, perhaps there’svsomo cool, pleasagt nook right on your own property where you can spread your pic- nic supper and eat and loaf—down in the orchard under the low spreading boughs. of an apple tree or in the friendly shade of some elderberry bushes. .The‘ children will love it, and you will be surprised how such a slight change in the day’s routine will give you a new interest and outlook. A picnic to many people means hours of preparation and a kit of bother, but that is the old fashioned kind. Styles in picnics have changed, and-now they. re- quire no more work than an ordinary meal at home. .The important 'thing to remember about planning a picnic is to have it consist of~about the same foods as you would serve at an in-door meal. The main reason that picnics and indi— ’ gestion are commonly associated in the minds of many is that we feel we must do justice to all the conglomeration of food that is usually present, and our poor stomachs simply will not bear up under the strain. Modern picnics are ap- petizing for all their simplicity, and a. great deal kinder to our digestive systems. Besides they are much less work for Mother, who can now enjoy herself with the rest of the family. If you go Where you can build a small fire, bacon, wieners, or beef steak are delicious broiled over the coals on' long sticks, .or better still an old-fashioned wire toaster can be pressed into service, thus making it possible to broil several pieces at once. \ These may be eaten be: tween rolls or slices of bread and butter. Broiled steak is much improved when it: comes from the fire by the addition of a. little butter and Salt and pepper. Green onions, radishes, and tomatoes may be eaten “out of hand." Milk, lemonade, or tea, cooled beforehand in the cellar or elsewhere can be carried along in a chilled glass fruit jar, if you do not have a ther- mos bottle. A big wedge of pie, or cake and cookies with some fruit will serve to round off the meal and give that satis- fied feeling. In case a fire cannot be had, there are a variety of picnic sandwiches which are tempting. Did you ever try bacon, to- mato, and lettuce sandwiches? If not you have a treat in store.

EAR, BOYS AND GIRLS: At last 4 I am able to tell you about the winners in our big drawing contest and the fine. prizes they re- ceived: First prize was a large drawing pad with a set of hard pas-~ . tale and two drawing pencils. Ariel Danton, of Saranac, won it with a very pretty, pencil sketch entitled, t‘A Garden.” Second prize was an- other but smaller drawing pad with a set of hard pastels, which Eleanore West, of Mount Pleasant, won with her picture of “The June Bride.” Julia Spiesz, R. 3, Box 73, Fenn- ville, won third prize, a pound of modelling clay, with a picture, of a cowboy. A box _of modelling wax was fourth prize and it went to Agatha Smith, South Boardman, who drew a picture of a nice looking girl. 'I am sure these young artists will enjoy their prizes very much. In the “Read and Win" contest, published in on July '7th issue, the boys came into their own by captur- ing first and second'prizes. John W. Crosby, Box 77, Edenville, won first prize and got a ‘Conklin Pencil. A purple leather diary, as second prize, was won by Frances Hufnagel, of. Fowler. One oi? the latest games to he invented, called “Lindy Flying Game, was third prize, and Al Pale— nick, of Bradley, got that. Florence Kollman, R. 2, Grand Ledge, re- ceived fourth prize, a vanity set con— sisting of a small mirror and comb.

I have just come in from the truck patch :where I have been basing sweet. corn, popcorn, mush, cabbage, etc. _ It was hard work ' ' for I worked . bud. Butts the rows were cleaned out, one after another, a. ’ sense of satisfac— tion took poses- sion 0; me which fully repaid me for the effort. I should liked to have remained, and spent the en- tire forenoon . l with therhoe, but there were some letters to write, and if we get some nice hay weather to- morrow, I fear the letters would not be answered. But today there is no “hay weather” and the remaining weeds in the truck don’t look good to me and I like to dig them out. But letters must be answered and, while answering one, a look at my date sheet reminded me that some one hundred thousand homes in Michigan would soon be looking for their July 2Ist BusINEss‘FARMER and now that the letters'are answered, I feel like staying by the old pen just as much as I did by the old hoe. Some- how when I get interested in any- thing I like to keep at it until it is finished. Seems to me that is the keynote of satisfaction with one’s work—being interested. Being in- terested is a sort of panacea that cures the various causes of discom- fort. Aches, dirty hands and soiled clothes don’t mean much when you are interested. I don’t believe any one was ever happy in his or her line of work when they were not inter- ested in it. Furthermore, very few people are a. success in any line of endeavor unless they have interest in it. 1.. w. mm. C t t The Blacksmith . The other day we had to have some special-blacksmith work done. In order to get a man who could do it, and then the proper things to do it with, we drove to three dlflerent towns. But the blacksmith—416 was a man of perhaps thirty-five years. His shop was complete with about all the tools and equipment a blacksmith shop could have. He was of the old school. He had a. machine to help him do pretty nearly every- thing he was called upon to do. All around, blacksmiths are going out of business because of lack of “trade.” Pshaw, this fellow has business piled ahead all the time. He has so much he keeps a man to help him. He does the forge work and all the precise work such as electric welding, etc. . I st ll by his anvil and watched him a lon time. What exactness he de- manded of everything he did! Pains- taking to the nth degree! His hands were black with oil, and forge dirt was evidently ground into them. His face reflected the interest he had in his work. The way he picked up a certain punch and grabbed a certain hammer to strike the punch with, showed he was interested in what he was doing, for he was doing his best to do it right and he knew it would ‘ be right, and that a glad word of approval would come along with the Shekels when his customer called for his mended property. Here was a successful man, a happy man. Hard work? 'decidely so; dirty‘ hands, hard to wash? decidedly so; hungry at meal time and long before? de- cidedly so. All he wanted to eat- when meal time came. Surething, who could want more"?

The want 0! too much 'easy money; the longing for so many things whichcnnnot be aflorded; the longing for what is termed thea“easy lite’.’.—the trying to get these so- called easy things without honest work, are the causes of most of the police and court troubles. The longing for the cozy life and the desire for luxury to the extent that crookedness is resorted to in or- der to gain them, is entirely the news of the cities so tar. { May it ever be thus, it it must-be anywhere. Let’s hope the farmer will remain just old fashioned enough to live within his means. There are many things to be enjoyed in this great land 01 ours, and foolish is the man who does not. enjoy all he can and do it honestly. the desire for luxury, to the extent tion to some people as to just what the word enjoy means. Does it mean to buy something to be proud of to- day, and to pay for it tomorrow, and tomorrow‘s tomorrow, and then tor sometime after that? I. t II Commdn Sense A man said to me the other day, “Our car is as good as it. ever was. It is a little out. of date I know. I also know a bank where they will gladly cash my check for the price of a new one, but for a while, at least, while the old bus runs good, I am going to enjoy the money being in the bank, and ride in the old car knowing I can have a new one when I really need it. A new car would be an absolute luxury for me, and we can hardly afford luxuries just ye ." Common sense; in this ageit is very uncommon sense. This man’s rea- soning is summed up in the old jib, “You can’t eat your cake and still have it to look a .”-- I. might add that here is a man who does his own thinking, and I don’t know but. what "Do your own thinking” would be a good slogan to“ hand the farmers right now, so they may have it for reference as the polite, political poli- ticians tell them what to do, and how.‘ to vote. 0 O 0 Let’s Have Your Advice Well, folks, it’s time for me to be signing off, but here is a letter from a, man who wants someone to tell him about taking a mined of sheep to fatten on pasture. ‘W‘ before the rules? Who pays for those that might die?" Who pays freight, etc. Anyone who has had such a deal could write us a helpful letter,ri1 they would tell us the way it is “did.” found he had my ‘wdrkdohdf'liwent .. to the ear, threw in the cultivatorw‘psrtsretc. spa artgd ~ ' ’m’m you me “comm-lute" HE was is unsuccessful will for alloy .Iwatched * the old much with interest, as he carefully selected stones of qual- ity to put into the structure.

This is consistent 'Ghrlstianity. . “Ye also as living stones The “yo” 3 addressed to the scattered country- men of the “author. These pilgrims among the nations were lit/danger. Their faith wasMheing exposed to the deadening influence of their sur— roundings. You know how that is. You have'been in an environment fat with worldly satietactions and were tempted to covet these things; tept- ed to drift to earth levels. Now, it is just the purpose of our text to de- liver as from thh evil. Though we are in an earth-world. we are citi- aens of Eternity. What a mind- challenging and soul-arresting reali- ty! In all "nations and among all races, God gathers living stones, me.- terials of faith. hearts of a common hope, to build his Immortal Brother- hood. Our Heavenly Father is over farming the spark of a common unity that. lies at the heart of humanity. It is no longer hard on our tradi- tional belief to feel that he is every- where and in all things around us. We listen to the radio and wonder ingly believe. With harmony all around for our ears, beauty for our eyes, and fragrance for our noses, we ‘cannot doubt but that we live, move. and have our beingin the at- mosphere of God. And you, rural friend, ‘faway from the maddening crowd. and in tune with the music of nature can best dream of your Maker. But that God is everywhere in men getting his will done is becoming more apparent as we try to under- stand Him and one another. Every person is a potential living stone. When on his way he meets the Christ through faith and lover he becomes one actually. When joined to his savior he is joined to Life. It is a great teaching that God abides in our hearts to make alive; to ill; them for emotions of light and lbve. So our life is saved and hold together for a habitation of God in the Spir- it." Notwithstanding the hindrances of scattered locations and the carnal aspect of surface conditions. there are signs that deep down at the bot-4 "tom of things the Kingdom of God is being builded. in. the souls of men the world around. That is what it means to pray “Thy will be done on earth as itis in heaven.“_ But do you pray at all! What about that 7 house of yours! _ “Are built up a spiritual house." And to what end? Reading-on a little farther than our text we (its? cover it in‘these words, "thatye may show forth the excellences of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelou! light.” Clearly then. here is a general and broadened pur- pose. To “show forth" is to show forth; to manfest: to firove. We are in the world to make God the Great- est Common.~ Factor ‘ of public life. But hey‘must first become that in our personal life.

"Ye are the light of the world.” Spiritual light-houses on ' the sea of time; make God a sure re- fuge. But that house of yours? "To offer up spiritual sacrifices.” Worship. is the mark of surrender and loyalty to the Highest Good. "What greater calamity can befall a nation than the loss of worship." says Carlyle. But human vanity rules out God. Multitudes are un- heeding. Have you got the altar in the right place in your house? Or did you leave it out altogether? Life lacks the chietest piece of furniture without an altar. Isn’t that the mat- ter with much of modern life? .It lacks moral outlook bemnse it lg- nores the Altar. Torn down altars are prophetic of disaster ahead. Says Paul. “We are a sweet savor of Chi-kt unto God." We are it we burn; it we make life ’a living sacri- fice. Nothing is harder. but nothing is easier. Hard for one who would keep plumed in selfish pride and dig- nity. Easy for one who makes Christ the center and the inspiration of one’s life. - Only this is "acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." It Jesus only has been charged to build our house and arrange the furniture in it, then let no open the doors for him to come in. But alas, for many! The sacred shrine swings open to the things that pollute and destroy. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?" This is a solemn appeal to keep the heart clear of fleshly lusts and worldly as— pirations. The body in which we live‘ in this time world is a thing of God. and is made for sacrifice and not sacrilege. What about that house of yours!

Gold Medal record. To win this Golgi Medal Jolly Girl produced 717.86 lbs. of butterfat and 14,365 lbs. of milk in 365 days. During the test she yielded as much as 87.94 lbs. of butterfat in one month, and she car- ried calf 169 days while making this splendid record. Jolly Girl was first tested as in. senior three-year-old when she yield. Three years later she was again tested when she produced 545.46 lbs. butterfat in 365 days. The sire of this fine pros ducer is Oxford Will Do, and her dam is Sultan’s Jolly Girl, a cow which produced 638.60 lbs. of butter- fat and 13,064 lbs. of milk. COST OF KEEPING EWES Please advise me the cost of keep- ing breeding ewes—A. E. G., Ing— ham County. . THE cost of keeping breeding ewes varies . somewhat in different .parts of the State in accordance with the quality of feed and care given from $6 to $9 per head with a probable average of around $8 per head per year. If the ewes are poorly wintered so as to get through with a minimum cost they shear a lighter clip of wool and raise a smaller per- centage of lambs, whereas liberal feeding increases the weight of 'fleece and proper management makes pos- sible as large as 150- to 175 per cent -;. of lambs with a small flock of mut- ton bred ewes. Fine woohewes are smaller, stand more crowding, will run in larger. _flocks and- require, somewhat less feed~per hea'd than large mutton bred ewes so that they may be wintered somewhat che‘apen—V. A.

S., Paw Paw, Mich. ‘ OULD not recommend the feed- ' ing of sour milk to calves. It is likely to result in a short time digestive trouble. ,, It is prac- tically impossible to have milk of the same sourness each time and it is very difiicult to keep the containers clean. For these two reasons you- are likely to get scours in a very short time, which is always serious and sometimes fatal. Better feed the milk sweet. FEEDING POWDERED SKIMMILK We would like to know the food value of powdered milk bought from the milk condensary.~ We are feeding it to a calfwe are raising and two hogs—C. F. S., Dansville, Michigan. I , T HAS been found that calves ~do very well on powdered skim-milk when fed at the rate of one pound of skimmilk to nine pounds of water. This will bring the milk back to about normal condition. Verygood results have been offered with this when used in these propertions.—— O. E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Hus- bandry, M. S.

Asthma Left Him Four Years Ago No Sign of It Since. Tells How He Found , Lasting Relief. Elderly people, made miserable by asth- ma or bronchial cough, will find cheer m a letter from 0. M. Oleson, age 65, Route 2, Eagle Grove, Iowa. He says; “I had asthma for 15 years. All that time I wheezed, coughed and choked until at timesll could hardly‘breathe. After trying everything, I finally started taking Nacor in April, 1922. It gave me wonder— ful relief and I started to improve every month. The last trace of asthma left me in 1923. I have taken no medicine for over 4 years and have had no asthma, so I am now sure that I am rid of that terrible disease.” Mr. Oleson is only one of hundreds who have told how their asthma left and never returned. If you suffer with asthma or bronchial cough, you will enjoy reading their letters, which will be sent free by Nacor Medicine 00., 590 State Life Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind. ‘ Also a bookl¢t of valu- able information about these diseases will be sent you.

Only in cases where eggs are to be hatched is one warranted in keeping the yearling birds in the flock. There are three very good reasons why the entire poultry flock should be replaced by pullets each year. They are: , 1.. Yearling birds' will sell for more than two year olds. 2. Production and profit per bird during the second year is much low- er. 3. Diseases are reduced by about three—quarters by such a practice. The first factor requires no ex- planation—it is self evident. The second requires some consid- eration and explanation. Experi- ments have been carried out in Mich- igan,‘ Nebraska, Kansas, Connecticut and New, Jersey comparing the pro- duction of birds during the first and second twelve months of laying. In every single case the birds produced .more eggs the first twelve months. The lowest increase was a flock of 33 White Leghorns at the Michigan State College Experiment Station that produced 21.7% more eggs dur- ing the first twelve months. The highest increase was a flock of 100 White Leghorns at the Connecticut Experiment Station that produced 7 '1 percent more during the first 12?. months. The average 13 flocks total- ing 1,446 birds of both light and heavy breeds was 30% more eggs during the first twelve months than during the second period. Because pullets will be in produc- tion during October, November and December _while yearlings will not cOme into production till December. or January the average price per dozen of eggs will be higher for a flock of pullets than for yearlings. This will result in greater profit from pullets. If pullets replace yearlings in the flock each year diseases such as T. B. will be reduced considerably. Now is the time to plan to replace flock with pullets, Do not depend on buying pullets this fall. You may be disappointedr—K. Ousterhout. CHOOSE NEW SITE FOR FARM- ERS‘ DAY NEW site has been chosen for the annual summer Farmers’ Day meeting at the Michigan State College July 27. It will be an ideal location for the big general meeting in the afternoon and more conveniently located to the experi- mental plats, the livestock barns and the demonstrations and contests which will attract the interest of the visitors during the morning. A platform for the speakers and entertainment features will be erect— ed on one bank of the Red Cedar River near the farm lane bridge. while the audience will be seated on the opposite bank which forms a nat— ural amphitheatre and affords ample shade. The front campus of nearly 100 acres and the shaded banks of the river which form ideal picnic grounds will, of course, be available to the visitors as usual. ' New and unusual forms of enter- tainment and contests are being planned for both the morning and afternoon programs. Among the demonstrations, the use of the com- bine harvester is expected to be one of the most important due to its re- cent use in the state and the general interest in more economical methods of harvesting in Michigan. . Valuable and interesting informa- tion, the result of experimental work conducted during the past year with livestock and crops, will be revealed by members of the college staff who -will be stationed at strategic, points. to explain the work and the/practical . application of the findings. 7\_ ‘ I CANCER—FREE, BOOK .anr on do {Or pain," bleeding, 'odor. etc. Write. for it -t0day,‘mentioning this paper.

HazsnA. runes, Armada. has been awarded a prize of fifty, dollars for suggesting the best name for a group of the 'lead- _. lug sugar beet growers of Michigan. The name contest, conducted by sugar companies of _Michlgan and' Michigan State College, was entered by several hundred Michigan farm- ers or members of their families. Farm women were especially re- sourceful in suggesting names. The title suggested by Mrs. Tubbs, “Banner Beet Growers," was selected after the hundreds of titles had been reduced to those sent in by J. Lis- combr Merrill; Helen Paxton, Mc- Brides; Mrs. Everett Henderson, Memphis; M. E. Sellers, Akron; 1 is Gilman, Vandalia; Mrs. Klahn, Lowell: Jessie E. Yawger, Hale; Mrs. L. H. Bates, Romeo; Harry Trussler, Yale; Arthur John- son, Bangor; Mrs. Theodore Doll, Forest Hill; and Mrs. Maud Steele, St. Charles. * Fifty oi the leading sugar beet growers of Michigan have been nom- inated. for places in the first year's group of Banner Beet Growers. Twenty of these men will be chosen. Selection of members of the group will be determined by their success in producing a crop of beets by meth- ods which are practical and which leave the grower a fair profit for his work and the capital which he has invested. ‘ .
