Will Keep Your Tractor '

Atractoris only asgood as the work it does. And the work itdoes depends
on the oil you use!

farmers in the Middle West have found the wa . They use Polarine.

(Indiana) and has helped to build this Company’s reputation. for dependabili .
For years Polarine has given satisfactory service on farms throughout the ten
states of the Middle West.

Polarine is sure and safe. No guess work. Buy the grade especially made for your machine. It Will

That’s what counts. You can’t afford a tractor that works today and slumps tomorrow. Polarine will
keep your tractor plugging away day after day working as it ought to work!

Polarine protects every part of the. engine from heat and friction—keeps it running smoothly—preVents
trouble and makes the machine last longer. \

Possibly the little boy and the young

trade, a "grinding stone” where the

. " Manufacturer’s Confidential Catalog Indicates Games Can Be Kept Under Operator’s Control

By ARCHER P. WHALLON

 

 

WHERE is enough sporting blood in most of us so that we enjoy
playing a game as long as there is a chance to win, but when the ,
cards are all stacked against us we are through. If you are one of

the folks who have a weakness for the games of chance along the fair

midway you should read this article by Archer P. Whallon.

It contains

some information that may be an eye-opener to you and cause you to

swear of! playing them.——Editor.

 

der the operator’s control at all
times.” The more ornate Bicycle
Wheel spindle is like it, for “it oper-
ates on the principle of the Camel
Back and has a good creep, though it
can be operated perfectly fair with-
out the cree-p”—-as we may be par-
doned the suggestion, in the presence
of fair officials or before policemen.
About the same comment might be
made apropos of the rolling log
game. “The outfit consists of one
maple tray 14x8 inches, eight imi-
tation leather pads, and two finished
maple logs. One log is numbered 1
to 8 on the eight sides, and is per—
fectly fair, the other log is numbered
30—50—190, with four 30’s, three 508,
and one 100-. This log is so made
that it will bring up one of the 308
every time, but by changing it end
for end one of the 505 or 100 will
show. Any one who has operated a
percentage laydown will appreciate
the advantage of being able to throw
out a big one at the right time.” Of
course, this advantage costs the oper-
ator a little something as “fair logs”
are listed at $1.50 while “gal! logs"
at $4.00. A still greater spread lies
between the fair and controlled put
and take tops. The fair one is priced
at but a dollar, but obviously is of
but little worth in comparison with
it counterpart costing ten or fifteen
times as much and which is so made

that “the operator can spin it in
such a manner that he will spin 3
Take every time while the uniniti—
ated will spin Put.”

Percentage Games

The fact is that nearly if not all
the pitchmens and percentage games,
the so-called games of “science and
skill” as wel 13.8 the avowed games
of chance may be worked “strong”
as well as fair. Though the operator
may demonstrate them, showing how
easy it is to win, he can follow‘the
demonstration with a slight change
in the apparatus, unnoticed by his
victim, that makes winning very dif—
ficult if not impossible. Such is the
case with the Pop—It—In game in
which the player endeavors to throw
balls in pockets in a rack. “When the
rack is placed at a sharp angle the
balls will not go into the pockets, but
as it is brought to a more horizontal
position it becomes less difficult.”
The operator merely demonstrates
his game, allows some winning, prob—
ably by a confederate, for advertis-
ing purposes, then unobtrusively
changes the position of his rack to
do business with the poor hicks who
are anxious to part with their money.
High strikes, pitch rack games, and
the several ball and pin games are
subject to control manipulation, “can
be worked strong.” In the Cat Rack
outfit “the cats are under the opera—

sand dollars each year to feed the
wild birds which flock to this place.
Part of the cost is met by bird lovers
and the provincial government. The
balance is raised by Mr. Miner
through his lecture tours. Mr. Miner
is not a millionaire. His means are
modest, but he is a bird enthusiast.
He is the originator of the sanctuary
idea and is said to be the first man
to trap and tag wild Canadian geese
to study their route of migration.
Countless thonsands of wild geese
and whistling swans make this their
stopping place during the annual mi-
gration. April 1 to 20 was said to
be the best time to me these birds.
A number of them, some crippled,
make the place their permanent
home. Mr. Miner is also interested
in forestry and has some very fine
experimental blocks of Scotch pine,
white pine, and maple. Some red ce-
dar has been planted, because of the
blue berries which it bears. "l‘lieoe

ful of “Plow Boy” when the supply
runs low!

At Simcoe the Michigan men visit—
ed the apple and cherry farm of W.
C. Everett. Sour cherry picking was
going on. The cherries were being
marketed at a stand at a price of
$1.50 per eleven quart b a s k e t.
Twenty-three acres of apples were in-
spected. The varieties were mainly
Spy and McIntosh. The Spy crop was
especially good. Trees were planted
35 feet apart. Cultivation is started
early and continues until June 18,
when a cover-crop of soy beans is
sown. The trees are sprayed only
four times but the apples were very
clean, though the McIntosh and the
Baldwins showed considerable rus—
The fact that Bordeaux had
been used almost entirely would
seem to account for this. Barnyard
manure and acid phosphate are used
as fertilizers and the weaker trees
trate of soda. The apples are all mar-
are given an additional “shot" of ni—
keted through a cooperative associa-
tion, and the bulk of the co—op’s out-
put is sold in Canada.

Second Day

On the morning of the second day
the motoring Michiganders started
from Hamilton and drove up to the
heights, near the city, known as "The
Mountain ” from which a beautiful
view was obtained of the city and the

ant talk in which he mentioned,tho

  

 

 
  
   
 
  
 
 
   
   
   
  
   
  
   
   
    
    
   
 
 
    
   
 
   
    
   
 
    
    
     
    
   
   
   
 
  
  
   
  
  
 
   
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
     
  
   
   
 
   
  
  
  
  
   
  
 
   
  
   
  

tor’s control at all times, yet can be
demonstrated to the players as they
are not weighted.” Possibly these
worthy concession men deserve pro—
tection as well as do their more aris-
tocratic brethren who handle the
roulette wheel, the hyronemous tub,
the percentage dice that are made for
banking and fading or are strong on
craps, and the Gates, Keplinger, and
Sullivan holdouts, the Jacob’s lad-
der, and the pants band machines—— :4:
that cost their operators from fifty to "
a hundred and fifty dollars, but with
which “live wires who have had ex-
perience with tools of this kind
should make good money.”

Barn um Was Right

These concessions do indeed tur-
nish a picturesque and colorful ele»
mont to the fair grounds. They
would be missed by multitudes. To
explain all the reasons for their ex-
istence would lead us far astray in
psychological digression concerning
the lure of gambling—possibly even
to an argument for its value as a
stimulator and conservator of cour-
age in a commonplace and humdrum
world. But to a farmer who gets all
the gambling thrill he needs from
weather and market, it would seem
that these people might better be put
to some useful work for their living
building good roads for that matter.
and the money which they take in,
and for which they give nothing in .
return, given to the Salvation Army.
These protected games are not games ‘
of chance—but of no—chance—merely
evidences of the truth of Barnum’s
assertion that people like to hum-
bugged. But when I read in a fair
catalog that “positively no crooked
games are allowed on the grounds”
and I then see the whirling spindle.
the rattling chuck—luck dice, and the
tumbling gaff log—I wonder if the
members of the fair board do not ex-
emplify the proverbial innocence of .
farmers. ;

closely planted fruit district border-
ing on Lake Ontario. The first or-
chard stop was at the H. E. Mayoock
orchard. Here were seen one hun—
dred acres of young bearing apple
trees planted 15% feet apart. Fill—
ers and permanents were all of the
same varieties in the various blocks.
The varieties were mainly Wealthy,
McIntosh, Jonathan, and Spy. The
crop was very light and we were in-
formed that the late apple crop is
light throughout eastern Canada. A
new red early apple called Crimson
Beauty was seen bearing fruit. It
was said to rank with Transparent in
earliness, and to color evenly. Eat—
ing quality was said to be ordinary
but cooking quality good. Twenty
acres of McIntosh were seen in a
solid block. These trees blossomed
full this season but set no fruit.
Frost was not a factor. Did you say
pollination? Most of the Canadian
farmers whom we interviewed com- '
plained of excessive rainfall. During
the month of June it is said to have ‘ ,
rained almost every day, and July
was evidently not much better.

VICE PRESIDENT BECOMES
PRESIDENT '

I am one of the officers of a. farm-
ers’ telephone company. About 10
days ago our president died and the
question is now asked, does the vice
president become president and serve
until the next annual meeting? Or
must the board of managers elect a
new president? And if they should
elect. the vice president as new pres-
ident would they lhave to appoint a.
new vice president?—Reader, Arenac
County.

N the event of the death of your
president the vice president would
assume his office until a new

president is elected at the regular
election. It would not be necessary
to elect a. new vice president to take
the old one’s place.

WHO GETS COW?

Three years ago a neighbor gave
me a heifer calf. We are on a rented
farm and the contract is on a 50-50
basis. We were to have four cows of
our own. This calf has come to a
cow and now we want to sell out. The
other party gets a. pound of butter to
each cow and half of the increase of
all that is raised on the farm. Now
do you think this man is entitled to
half of this cow? She was 18 months
old when she came fresh—E. A.,
Kalmazoo, Mich.

T would be unfair for you to raise
the calf in question on the un-
divided feed and then claim the

full value of the cow later. In this
case the landlord should pay you for
one-half of the value of the calf at
the time it was turned over to you
providing it met with his approval.

If the stock is divided at the out-
set and each party owning his own
stock of which he is responsible for
the maintenance of a certain number
of animals you, could balance up the
expense of raising the calf by off-
setting one which should be furnish-
ed by the landlord. The former
method is the one most in use and
it is also most practical—F. T. Rid-
dell, .Research Assistant in Farm
Management, M. S. 0.

NOTE STILL GOOD

We borrowed some money from
one of our local bank a few years
ago. We have always been prompt
with the interest and have paid some
on the principal when we could. The
last time the note came due, we went
as usual to renew it, pay the interest,
and some on the principal. They re-
fused to accept the-renewal, interest,
and what we offered on the principal,
stating the bank examiners demand-
ed a 10 per cent payment and threat-
ened us with the demand of the face
value of the note in full. We got
the money they required and re-
newed the note. Afterwards we were

told that when one offers the inter- ‘-

est on a ’note add some payment ,on
the principal (if it is not more than
$1.00) and the owner of the note re-

fuses to accept same, it cancels the '

note. We would very much like. your
opinion on this subject—Mrs. E. B.
M., Portland, Mich.

AYMENT of all interest due and
any part of the principal would
not cancel the note where the

holder refuses to accept. The note
would” still be good—Legal Editor.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

If a man is sent to Ionia prison
who has a wife, not in good health
,snd three small children all under
the age of 5 do the city authorities
have to pay house rent and provide
for wife and children or who will be
responsible for the same?—'—F. J. 1.,
Hillsdale county.

mother’s pension. She would be en-
titled to from,$2.00 to $10.00 for the

$2.00 for each additional child under
tint age—Legal Editor.

Being full fledged land lubbers. we
wanted to enjoy a day on some good
sized lake or river, and the luster
having taken a trip a iew'years ago
from Detroit down the river. out into
Lake Erie to Put-in—Bay, could think
of no nicer trip for a one day va-
cation.

Leaving home at.4:00 A. -M., we
were just a little too early to have
a hand in the morning chores and
this in itself was a pleasant prelude
to what was to be the “Day on."
Rain; yes, of course we had to run
into a rain. but it didn't last long and
only served to make the Old Chicago
Pike pavement look like new. Lit-

tle towns came and went, and Ypsi-
lanti arrived about the time we were
thinking it time for breakfast. A
neat lunch room and a twenty minute
halt found us ready for the last lap
of our morning ride. This was out
the Ecoree Road to Allen Road and
there onto Fort Street. which even-
tually delivered us to First Street
and only three blocks from the foot
of it where the steamer “Put-in-Bay”
makes its home. “What about park-
ing our car?” Well, that did have us
guesdng all the way from Broad-
scopo to Detroit, but there was no
cause for worry for all’ along Fort
Street there were parking places

 

scores of such” parking places and
during the early morning one is sure
to find a. vacant stall. The steamer
leaves Detroit at 9:00 o'clock East-
ern time. '

We had half an hour to watch the
ferries cross the river, some loaded
with humanity and others with
freight cars. But the‘ crowd was to
be entertained with a rather unen-
pected “stunt" thh morning. A rum
“runner and his mate had just nicely

left the Canadian shore in a high_

powered motor boat when three sim-
ilar boats, each containing two
United States officials whose duty
was to capture Hr; Run Runner
(that is, if they could), followed him.
One would not expect» any such speed
could be made by these boats and
with the short turns they made and
quick stops it proved these motor
boats were about as nimble on the
water as motor cars are on the roads.
But here come some large freightera.

boats, and our rum runner and his
pursuers were lost "to us. There was
considerable shooting at the outlaws
by the oflicers, but apparently the
motion of the boat and speed were
too much for accurate aim.

Our next'interesting sight was the
new bridge which will span the river
and provide a traffic way for the
thousands of autos that now cross on
ferries. This new bridge will be high
enough to allow ocean liners to pass
under it. All plans now seem to in-

day will find Detroit really an ocean
port with the same advantages such
cities as New York now enjoy.

As our boat left the Detroit river
and headed out into Lake Erie we
were aware that the wind was quite
strong, and so much so that the floors
and chairs didn’t seem to be exactly
where they ought to be! But three
quarters oi an hour either calmed the
waters some or “calmed” the passen—

very. pleasant. Soon the outline of
the Perry Memorial monument could
be sighted and. about three hours

ping off at Put-In-Bay.

Put—In-Bay is the name of the
town, the bay and the island: the is-
land being the largest of the Middle
Bass Islands. These Islands are fa—
mous for their grapes. A guide told
us that 80 per cent of Pnt—In-Bay is-
land was in vineyards. A tour of the
island showed many grape rows
which run back as far as the eye
could see. With few exceptions,
these grapes get excellent care and
the vines seem to be loaded with the
nearly half grown fruit.

A visit to the island would not be
complete without seeing the caves.
It seems a strange thing that way
out there on an island these wonder-
Perry
Cave is 235 feet long and 165 feet
wide. One goes down night after
flight of stairs to enter it. The cave
is well lighted with electricity and
kerosene lamps. I imagine the lamps
are for use it the electricity should
fail. Way back in the far side is the
“Wishing Spring,” an old gentleman
in uniform dips his bright dipper in
the cold water and fills a glass for

Michigan State 1College became the
mecca of an interesting group of
8000 farmers on July 27 as the rural
element from all sections of the
state gathered to attend the annual
‘Furmers’ Day.

Considerable interest was shown
in the combine demonstration which
took place on the College farm. As
I watched these three big powerful
machines cut and thresh .a 12 foot
swath of golden wheat on their jour-
ney around the field I became very
much interested in them and also in
the comments which I heard from the
side lines. “I’m going to have one
of them.” exclaimed one former.
“they will cut and thres‘h grain much
faster and at a cheaper cost per
acre.” “They would‘be .a fine thing
on a big farm.” said another farmer,
“but on my 120 acre farm the inter-
est and depreciation would be too
great.” Another bystander mentioned
that Michigan had too many small
fields, stone piles, cat holes, and .gul—
'lies to use a combine successfully.

As I was about to walk away from
the demonstration I heard one farm-
er mention my own chief objection to
the combine. “These things have no
method of putting the straw in the
barn, and I need straw for bedding.”
he asserted. Then I heard ,a reply to
this objection which I had never
thought of before and which I am go—
ing to pass on to you Without any
comment. ”Straw for bedding does
not produce any more pounds of beef
in_ cattle, or add any more units of
pulling power to horses,” answered
his companion.

Perhaps you may be able to add a
:ie'w more favorable or unfavorable
comments to this “list relative to the
combine. ' Personally I’m strong for
any new machinery or equipment
which is practiced and will cut down
costs of production.

Using Binder and TraCtor Alone

A few weeks ago I had my first ex-
perience in cutting grain with a bin-

der and tractor all my lonesome. I’ve ,, '

cut a good many acres of grain and
have had some experience in running
a tractor, but I've never had the
thrill More of running both of them
together all alone. By attaching a
rod, spring, and lever to the bundle
carrier and running it to the tractor
the tripping of the bundles is not a
very difficult task. Of course the
field must be moderately level and
the grain even in order that no
shifting 'of levers on the binder is
necessary. There are quite a few
things to watch in this operation and
yOu cannot go to Sleep on the job by
any means, but it (is met such a dif—
ficult task it everything works all
right. I’ve always made the boast
that I could run any kind of a ma?
chine which had a seat on it. I’m
strong for this kind of labor, and
next year I’m going to try the same

contrivance on Spring Water Farm. 5

M. S. C. is Yours to Use

While at the Michigan State -Col-~. '

legs for two weeks this summer, I
had the pleasure .of heaving :s. wary'
“fine interview and visit With Presi—
dent R. S. Shaw?" We forgot about
the time he called me on the carpet
when I was a student at this old “in-
stitu‘tion, and we conversed about 33— '
riqutural problems and their outlook
in Michigan. Dr. Show Who has been
called upon, and 'who is so ably
straightening out matters at the col- '
lege, holds an optimistic view con—
cerning Michigan agriculture. Hev
stated that he wished the farmers of
Michigan would use the Michigan
State College as their great center of
agricultural problems and activity.
He also informed me that the de-
partment of research, extention, and
education were at the service of the
farmers of this state at all times, and
that he hoped they would use them
toward the building up of a better
agriculture and a better rural life.
To my mind this is a very fitting
viewpoint and program for the Pres—

 

ident of the Michigan State College
toward the farmers of Michigan, and
I pass it on to you with my utmost
respect and most sincere wishes.

OME years ago Doctor Russell
Conwell in a popular lecture
told in a very fascinating way

the story of two farm boys who
wandered around the world in search
of wealth and finally came back to
the old farm and figuratively found
diamonds right under their very feet
when once they learned" how best to
manage the soil. To one making an
unbiased survey of the assets of the
State, the black soils ordinarily
known as muck are among its'great—
est resources.

Where Is' The P-Nut Growing Sec-
tion?——The products of this black
soil, outside of fruit, are the high
lights of the tourist’s trip into Mich-
igan. He remembers first the celery;
the fellow who originated the idea
of selling celery and “P-Nuts" direct
is responsible for this. In New York
recently, a man was telling me how
he drove through Michigan last year
and enoyed the celery and peanuts
so much. “Just where is the peanut
growing section of Michigan’” he in-
quired and seemed quite surprised
to learn that peanuts are not grown
in Michigan. ’

The tourist remembers the celery
on sale, the onions in the fields and
the fragrance of the mint oils, par-
ticularly in the early morning or late
evening in the autumn when the
black curls of smoke from the stills
are loitering their way into the air
dome.

The Fertile Valley of Winds and
Boughs.—To one who wishes,to see
a great variety of the different types
of farming carried on in Michigan
in a short drive, the road from'Grand
Rapids to Sagautuck by way of H01-
land offers a great diversion. The
thickly populated and/ intensively
cultivated mucky soil area around
Hudsonville which extends on down
the valley, sometimes narrow and
sometimes wide, shows every shade
of culture from abandon to very in-
tensive. A one acre celery farm is
quite common, five acres is consider-
ed a ranch. Here they put on fertil-
izers from a ton to a ton and a half
to the acre.

At the present time, these growers
are worrying about the west winds.
The wind is one of the most serious
menaces of the muck soil operator.
You see a dozen different methods
of stopping the wind from cedar and
popular hedges to rows of blackberry
and gooseberry bushes; also narrow
drills of barley or rye and occasion-
ally two wires are strung between
posts running north and south and
the fertilizer bags are pinned to the
top and bottom wires. The longer
this muck is farmed, the worse it
blows.

t O I:

The Buckle of the Fruit Belt.—
Some miles further southwest, you
get into the fruit belt. Many people
have heard of Michigan’s fruit belt
but very few of them realize that it
is a very narrow band, never exceed—
ing 40 miles back from Lake Mich-
igan and more often being nearer 10
miles in width. Every farming com-
munity owes it location to soil, cli-
mate, and marketing facilities. The
fruit belt occurs where the cold
winds 011'. Lake Michigan keep the

buds retarded until late enough in
the spring so there is no danger of
late frosts; the same winds delay
frosts until late" in the fall. This
section also has a large number of
days of bright ,, sunsmny weather.
Operating a muck farm and manag-
ing an orchard are about as far apart
as the two poles.

Field Day in Cass County.—In this
day and age, anyone can have a col-
lege education without going far
from home, if he will only keep his
eyes and ears and mind open.

On June 22 I attended the annual '
field day at the Cass County Experi-
ment Field. For twelve years now,
the soils department of Michigan
State College has been conducting
tests of diiferent lime materials and
fertilizers on this farm and determ-
ining the responses by the weighed
yields. This is very valuable inform- _
ation for the farmer who has a simi-
lar soil type and will put his intelli-
gence to Work on the problems of his
home farm.

Two or three very important les-
sons were brought out. This is a.
Fox sandy loam. On all crops, ap-
plication of all three plant foods was
showing wonderful results. With
the legumes particularly alfalfa and
sweet clover, potash was showing
wonderful improvement in the yield
of hay. Also the best yields of wheat
have secured on the plots that have
had a complete fertilizer treatment.

Cheaper Nitrogen is Sand Farmer's
Hope.——Everthing now indicates that
during the next two or three years,
commercial nitrogen in this country
will cost much less per unit than it
does now. To sandy soil farmers this
will mean a big reduction in the
costs of production. The plan now in
use on these plots is to topdress all
the small grains with 100 pounds per
acre of nitrate of soda in the early
spring and it has been paying hand-
some returns. Manure is generally
regarded as a high nitrogen carrier
but this spring, the nitrate of soda
treatment has showu up on the plots
that had previously received manure
as well as those which had not.

Peer Farm Not So Poor.——Harry
Gleason, Cass county farmer and bus-
inessman, told of the practical re-
sults of the systematic use of lime
and fertilizers as reflected by the-re-
ceipts of the Cass County Poor Farm.
“Twelve years ago,” said Gleason,
“the records show that this farm
turned $800 to $900 per year into
the treasury which was nowhere near
enough to support the farm and in-
mates. About that time we asked
for and were granted an appropria-
tion of $500 to see what we could do
with lime and fertilizers. The re‘
suit is that during the intervening
years, $2,800 has been spent on this
farm for such materials. During
the last ten years, the average re-
ceipts have come up to where the
ten year average is $5,300 per year
and last year it reached a total of
$10,300, the largest year yet." In
some counties, the county poor farm
could not be better named and these
might slip a leaf out of Cass

county’s bbok of experience.

, HUS urged, Terry went. Still weak
T from the wound, the day’s events had

_ all but worn himout. He took the
worn horses to the barn, stabled and fed
them and went to bed.’ ,

When he arose at daybreak he heard
the wind whining around the house. He
looked out on the dullest, grayest, most
forbidding sky in the world, with an occa-
sional snowflake drifting warningly before
the wind. ' *

He hurried into the kitchen where his
mother was getting breakfast. .

“Mother,” he said, “I expect you’d bet-
ter get Doug’s and Mort’s breakfast ready
and let me take it up' to them. Doug
won’t stop to eat now. He‘s—~what in the
dickens!” he ejaculated, as two strong,
warm hands were suddenly clasped about
his eyes.

“Let him loose, Mary,” said Mrs. Muir,
laughing. “He’s never recovered his
strength, you know."

"You little minx !" exclaimed Terry,
laughing himself.' “When did you get

back? I thought you was going to stay
all winter.”

"Last night," said Mary. "Terry, it
wasn’t like I thought it’d be. I couldn’t
stay.”

“Maybe you’d like to take the breakfast
up," said Terry, grinning widely.

“No, sir,” said Mary. “There’s too
much to do here. All these hungry men
to, feed. You take it. We’ve got it all
ready.”

The old Wild Cat was still charging
valiantly across the field when Terry came
into view. By the time he arrived there,
Doug had driven it over to the creek to
take on water. He sniffed at the package
Terry bore. ,

"Hey, Mort ;” he shouted at the noddin
Ramsdale, “look what’s come. Wake up,
you old deadhead."

Mort woke up. Both he and Doug did
ample justice to that breakfast. The
shockers were in the field and hurling
bundles into piles before they had fin-
ished it. They made sport of the work.

“How long will they last?” inquired
Terry, dubiously. ~

“Till the last bundle is piled up," de-
clared Doug. "I know them boys. They'll
be caught up and whooping for more
grain before noon." ,

f‘Before noon," predicted Mort, direly,
“we'll be two feet under snow here.” \

"If it will give us today,” said Doug,
"we can finish, with no bad luck. You’d
better get the team out,.Mort."

Mort departed, walking groggily. Terry
climbed up on the engine. Doug seemed
unusually morose.

"Terry," he said, “I’m pulling out as
soon as this job’s done."

“Where to?" asked Terry, with a light-
ness that was entirely assumed.

“I-o-wayi" said Doug.

Terry grinned in the crook of his arm.

"Won’t do you a bit of good,” he said,
tenjoying the look that came on Doug’s

ace.

“I’ll make her listen to reason," said
Doug earnestly. “I’ll give up the riding
business. I got my belly full. I’ve got
enough to build that house. I’ll make her
listen to reason.”

"Won’t do you a bit of good,"
peated Terry, "to go back there.”

“Terry," said Doug, looking at him fix-
edly, “do you really think Mary is done
with me?" '

"I didn’t say that,” replied Terry, de-
ciding that it would be good for Doug to
suffer a little. He had made them all
suffer a plenty! “I didn’t say exactly
that. I said I was satisfied it wouldn’t
do you any good to go back to Iowa after
her.”

Doug stared over the engine with un—
focused eyes, lifted a long leg deliberately
and set a heayy foot on the cab floor.

“Well.” he said heavily, “guess I’d bet-
ter keep this old hooker a rolling. Snow’s
a coming.”

Snow came on slowly that day, with the

was a smother. Mort gave up-flrst and
headed for the barn, then the shockers,
who had been hard on the heels of the
binders, departed, limping and weary.
Doug stuck to the last before he turned
the, Wild Cat homeward and let her
pound. Only the fact that the grain was
too heavy to elevate kept him from finish-
ing the last acre or so that remained in
the field.

As he rolled homeward, cattle were
drifting down from the slopes everywhere,

'bawling melodiously, glad to come back
. to the home ranch.

Even above the ex-
haust of the engine he could hear the
roar of the storm up in the pines. Be-
low he could make out the blur of the
ranch buildings thru the storm and could
vision the warmth of the kitchen and the
It was
growing dusk, even then.

Thru the storm he made out a figure
coming towards him afoot and guessed it
was Terry. He stopped the engine and

opened his mouth to upbraid him for com—
ing out in the storm and risking catching
cold.

“You little wart," he said, altho affec-
tionately, “what do you mean coming out

~ »"'Why Terry 1” he said, "you don‘t weigh
nothing! Sure fell at a lot."

Mary threw back the great collar of
Terry’s sheepskin and laughed at him.
Doug stiffened electrically.

“Thought it was about time somebody
came up after you," she said, enjoying his
amazement.

Doug did not hold that pose long. He
recovered his faculties with astonishing
completeness. He didn’t bother to ask
how she happened to be right there before
him when she was supposed to be in Iowa.
It was enough that she was there.

”Now," he said, after a little while.
grinning the widest grin he’d ever grinned
in his life, “everything is complete but
the biscuits.”

She laughed at that.

“They’re complete, too," she said. “I’ve
got some I’ve been saving for you over ‘
two months." ,

“Good 3" said Doug, starting the en-
gine, then just before they passed thru
the gate opening into the homestead. he
pointed out a level expanse of ground
partly enclosed by aspen.

“There," he said, “snow or no snow, is
where a house is going up before many
more days.” .

Mary snuggled a little closer to him.

"Who’s stopping you?” she asked.

Farmers by the thousands acknowledge
it to be the most efficient grain drill built.
It sows evenly. It covers uniformly. It
does precision seeding in all kinds of soil,
under all conditions. It gives you a degree
of accuracy that only Superior can give.

After planting last year’s crop with the
new Superior, Joseph Thomas writes: “I
have the most even stand of wheat
I ever saw without a skip in the field.”
And Superior users, everywhere, tell the
same story. All agree that the Superior is
the most accurate drill they’ve ever used.

Think what this accurate planting
means to you in actual money.

It means that no seeds are bunched
together in one part of the row and
spaced widely in another. It means that

When you set the lever for a certain
number of bushels per acre that’s the
amount you will sow.

As C. A. Bowman puts it: “You can
always feel satisfied it’s doing exactly
what you have ,set it to do. I have been
farming for many years and I consider
the Superior Drill one of the best imple-
ments I ever saw.”

Light draft and long life

In practically all of the thousands of
letters we get from enthusiastic users,
farmers tell us how surprisingly easy
they find the Superior to pull. A New
York farmer voices the opinion of all
when he says: “It is the lightest draft
drill I have ever used.”

A BUSINESS FAMR

UST because he is located in a county that is
J outside of Michigan's fruit belt and on the
beaten path traveled by the shippers .did .not
stop John Ferwerda, of near :Fa‘lmouth, from
growing apples on a commercialscale. rHestarted
out with the idea that if he could noteell to the
shippers he would cater to the home market and
that is the way he has built up a very successful
business. Of course, he has had low priced fruit
from unsprayed and uncared for orchards to com-
pete with but in spite of this handicap he has al-
ways had an outlet for his best grade or fruit.
Until recently the stile .of his second grade apples
was his great problem but new the has solved this
by establishing a store and cider mill on the main
traveled road east of Falmouth. There being only
a limited market locally for his freshlyamade cider
3he has installed pasteurizing equipment in his
imill so that he can conserve like sunplus. ‘ll‘he
juice is filtered in processing and bottling, giving
a product free from residue and of excellent fla-
vor. Last year he pastuerized about 1,700 gal-
lons to carry over to supply the trade until the
1928 fall apple crop matures.
John Ferwerda is a true business farmer, .one
who farms with his head as well as his hands, and
as a result is making a success of his business.

CADILLAC MOTORIS'I‘S
W

On April 5, 1928, a man by the
name of B. R. Smith came and sold
me automobile insurance for which
I am sending you the papers. He
said they insured anything from the
scratch of a pin up to death and
would insure me or our car for two.
years for 32$.” which I paid. He
said he would send the policy right

out but instead he sent this green —’

paper without even the name of the
men ligand from what I hear I
think he is a/ fraud as he insured a
lot of them around. here and none of
them have their policy. As ,I under-
stand it the company is alright but
he is crooked. Would like my money
back ittheycannotiesune.meas he
said (or two years. Please see what
you can do for me.-—-—“Subscri'ber,”
Ortcnville, Michigan.

HIS appears to be another one of
those so-called automobile serv-
ice companies that are here to-

day and gone tomorrow- From time
to time we have caused and dis-
cussed them in these columns. We
wrote several letters to this company
without any results but finally we
had one returned to us marked,
“Move-d, left ,, no address.” That
means that these Oakland county
folks who tell tor Mr. Smith's line of
talk will have to charge it up to ex—
perleuce.

The “green paper" our subscriber
received for his $29.50 was not an
insurance (policy at all but a “certi—
ficate” from the “Cadillac Motorists
Associated” informing. him he was

entitled to all benefits “as set forth

of ten miles, “given by official serv- '

It is the same old story. Salomon
claims that the company insures =
everything for a song and the victim
hands over the cash without stop-
ping to reason whether or not the
company could do business so cheap-
ly and not go to the wall. Then, it
he‘ eventually gets a policy, he finds
that he has paid for a cheap personal

accident policy only, plus some serv- .

ice that is or little value to him be-
cause there are no “official service
stations” in his locality. Such con-
cerns are constantly springing up and ‘
going out of business within a short
time.

When you purchase automobile in-
surance go to an agent you know to
be reliable and pay a. fair price. It
will be considerably higher than .
$29.50 for two years for full cover-
age, but you will get something for _
your money, and that is more than;

“COOPERATIVE SELLING"

In reading of the experiences un-
der “The Publisher’s Desk” in the
August 4th issue, with these pay-as-
you-enter sales organizations, I would
like to relate an experience I recently
had with the Cooperative Selling of.
Minneapolis. .

About two months ago I placed an
ad in the Chicago Tribune to sell this
ranch. Among the many replies I re—
ceived was a letter from the above
mentioned company together with a
form letter and form to fill out de-
scribing the property. This is quite
a planes you wlll note from the en-
closures but here is one guy that did
not bite. Instead, I filled out their
description term, wrote a letter stat—
ing that it they were in a position to
make disposition of the property I
would gladly pay them a 5 per cent
commission. ‘To date I haVe had no
word from Mr. Shepard (apparent-
ly the manager) and neither has he
my five bucks. So that settles that.

The evidence is extremely mani—
fest that these‘outfits are interested
only in the initial payment. I sin—
cerely hope that none of your road-
ers or any Michigan farmers are
suckers enough on bite on these five
or ten dollar bill-halted hooks—E.
W. Allen, Oceana County.

EIGHBOR ALLEN did a very

good job when he applied the

title “pay-as-you—enter sales or-
ganisation" to these real estate list-
ing concerns, and he did another
good job when he refused to swallow
their bait.

Cooperative Selling wants $5 down V

and an additional $20 when the prop-
erty is sold. We wonder how many
have been called upon to make the
last payment. Several years ago we
made a standing offer that it any of
these listing concerns would furnish
us with complete proof that they had
sold a farm [or any of our readers
we would run their advertisement in
one issue of M. B. F. at the head of
the Publisher's Desk without charge
to them. So far we have not been
taken up.

If this company does have a wait-
ing list cl: customers they certainly
ought to accept Neighbor Allen's
proposition, but we’ll bet a year old
bird's nest against a. cracked mus-
tache cup that they don’t.

When I make an honest doller,
Somehow it will never stay;

There is Mother—she’s a million;

Couldn’t spare her; she’s a peach;

That’s four million. You can’t buy

That is what makes life worth while.

CAN NING EXPERIENCES

HAVE read in several publications
I this year about making a list of
the number of quarts one needs to

'can of the various fruits and vegeta—

bles so as not to have a surplus of
some kinds. May I give my idea of
that?

It is obviously foolish to can
things the family will not eat, but if
one has plenty of a well liked fruit
or vegetable it is just as foolish not
to can it just because it may not all
be used this year. I have kept all
kinds of fruits and vegetables from
tho to four years with perfect suc-
cess, except that four-year—old huck-
leberries were a bit soft. Next year
the fruit or vegetable which is plen—
tiful this year may be very scarce.
Also if one puts up a large quantity
of some one thing, it is usually pos-
sible to find ways to use it so it will
not become tiresome and so it will
save on the things of which one has
less.

This year we will have plenty of
summer apples but very few winter
ones, so I shall fill a good many cans
with plain, old fashioned apple sauce.
I also shall can baked ones which are
as good as the freshly baked ones.
Here is my rule for doing them:

Choose those which will enter the
can without difficulty, remove the
blossom and bake slowly with very
little water and no sugar until not
quite done. Put in cans carefully
(I use quart size) and fill with syrup.
Process 10 minutes. When I wish to
use them I put them in the warming
oven an hour or so before the meal
and they are easy to remove from
the can—Mrs. Florence L. Saunders,
Grand Traverse County.

It i 3

Our friends who visit us unexpect-
edly for a meal so often remark,
“How do you ever get up such a
good meal and so much of it in such
a short time? I never have things
on hand so I can."
We farm women just have to have
things on hand, because it would be
a waste of time and an expense to be
compelled to go into town every day
or two, and our pocket books do not
seem to have enough money in them
to supply us with dainties and “ex—
tras” to keep on hand for an emer-
gency, so we must learn to use what
we have and make the best of it. We
can have just lots of good things to
eat the year around, and things that
are raised right here on our own
farms if we just get down to good
planning. We can also save a great
many dollars by doing so.

' Now is the time to put up a year’s
supply of garden vegetables. I have
a family of six to cook for and we use
from twenty—five to thirty quarts each
of peas and beans. Greens are so ten-7
der and sweet now. Whenever I cook
greens for the table, I gather a few
extra. After the meal what greens
are left I pack into a clean can, a1-
-loWing the juice to cover the' leaves
and leaving about one—half inch space
at top of can. Sprinkle with pepper,

The New

HE old order changeth, giving
way unto the new.” Even so
— with stoves! They, too, have
changed. It used to be that a
stove was the eyesore of any room.
No matter 110w shiny and black they
were and replete with nickel, they
somehow succeeded in destroying
whatever effect of charm and comfort
We had labored to produce, and what
a deep sigh of relief we breathed
when the weather at last permitted
us to take them down and store them
out of sight. The new demand for
color, harmony, and beauty in our
homes is being carried out likewise
in stoves. No longer do useful things
need to be ugly.

Take the kitchen for instance.
Even here the sunshine of color has
penetrated to brighten and lighten
woman’s work. While formerly your
choice was restricted to the old, dull
black range, there are now ranges
in beautiful delft blues, cool clean
grays, rich apple greens, and lovely
lustrous tans. What an opportunity
for women to make their kitchens
really attractive! How wuold you
like to have a kitchen in blue with
a blue range, a tracing of blue in
the linoleum, blue chairs and table,
and perhaps pale yellow curtains
fluttering atthe windows as a pleas-
ing contrast of color? If you want
to be original and different, you
might choose a tan range, using as
your color scheme tan and brown in
the linoleum, yellow or orange in the
curtains, and a dash of red here and

there, say, in your kitchen pots and

 

 

Cool Drinks.——-This department this time
should really be called “What to Drink,"
for these hot summer days a good cold
drink interests us more than something to
eat. Home-made milk shakes, lemonade,
or other fruit drinks can be made on short
notice if fruit sirups are kept in a cool
place. The juices of almost any fruit may
be used to flavor the drink, and sirups
made of them, if kept cool, will last for
several weeks.

To make the fruit sirups, boil two cup-
fuls of sugar with two cupfuls of water
for fifteen minutets, then add two cupfuls
of strained fruit juice, cover the sirup and
simmer it for fifteen minutes. Pour the
sirup into clean hot jars or bottles and
store it in a cool place. If the bottles are
sealed, the sirup will keep indefinitely. A
few tablespoonsful of such sirup mixed
'well with a glass of ice—cold milk or water
makes a refreshing drink in a few seconds.

In Stoves

pans. This would be a delightful
way to dress up the kitchen that or-
dinarily tends to be dark and dreary.

Heating stoves have likewise un-
dergone a revolutionary change with-
in the past few years. They have
been glorified and beautified beyond
recognition. Modern heaters would
never know their ancestors now-—-the
antiquated base burner and the old
oak stove—which they are gradually
supplanting. Each year seems to
bring new changes. If people are to
have heating stoves in their rooms,
because other heating systems are
not adaptable or practicalfor their
type of home, they are going to have
heaters that will harmonize with
their furniture. They demand beauty
as well as sensibility. The modern
heaters usually finished in a rich ma-
hogany to correspond with living
room furnishings have a. distinctive-
ness all their own. Not only are they
vastly better looking' than the old
type of heater, but they are cleaner
and more efficient in every respect.
Instead of heating just a corner or
a small radius of a. room, these new
heaters give comfortable warmth to
one and sometimes two or three
rooms.

The change in heating and cook-
ing stove styles is indicative of the
trend toward the new higher stand-
ards of home life everywhere. The
tremendous demand for new models
reflects the desire, on the part of
American women in particular, to
beautify their homes and make them
.more comfortable.

PUT lllY LITTLE SHOES AWAY

Mother dear, come bathe .my forehead
For I’m growing very weak,

Let one drop of water, Mother

Fall upon my burning cheek

Tell my loving little school mates
That I never more will play,

Give them all my toys, but Mother
Put my little shoes away.

CHORUS:
I am going to leave you, Mother,
So remember what I say:
Do it won’t you please, dear Mother,
Put my little shoes away?

Santa Claus he gave them to me
With lots of other things,

And I think he brought an angel
With a pair of goldenwings.
Mother, I will be an angel

By perhaps another day

So you will then, dearest‘Mother.
Put my little shoes away.

Soon the baby will be larger
Then they’ll fit his littlefeet

And he’ll look so nice and cunning
As he walks along the street
'Now I am growing very tired

So I’ll say to all good-bye

Please remember what I tell you,
Put my little shoes away.

Chronic» Asthma and
Cough for 15 Years

Entirely Rid of It Now. Cough Gone.
Relieved in One Week.

 

 

A letter written by Mrs. Ellen Wilson,
Irving, ILL, has a real message for asthma
and bronchitis sufferers. She says:

“I contracted asthma 26 years ago. For
the past - years, I have had chronic
asthma and a bad bronchial cough. I tried
all kinds of medicine, with no real im—
provement I coughed so hard I became
very weak, and had severe pains. In No-
vember, 1924, I began taking Nacor, and
in less than one week I was very much
relieved. By February my cough and asth-
ma Were gone Now (March 18,1925) I
need no medicine, and have no asthma
at all. ”

You will enjoy reading many other let—
ters from people who recovered after
years of suffer mg frorn asthma, bronchitis
and ch1onic coughs, and have had no re-
111111 of the trouble. These letters, and
booklet of vital information about these
diseases, will be sent free by Nacor Medi-
(inc Co 590 State Life Bldg, Indiana-
polis,1nd. No matter how serious your
case, write for this free information. It
my lead you back to health, as it has
thousands of others.

EAR BOYS AND GIRLS: I guess
you are getting too good 10: me
on the contests because almost

everyone who has written so for

since the last issue has solved the
“Bird” contest. The first one to
send in the correct answers was Myra
Lowe, of Dansville, and she received
a water color and crayon outfit. Dan-
iel Shelter, R. 2, Bay Port, was sec-
ond and he got a, pocket set of a
comb and nail file in a leather case.
If Daniel has as hard a time keep—
ing his hair combed and nails cleaned

' as I did when I was a boy I am sure

this outfit will come in very handy.
A boy won third prize also, a Lindy
Flying game. Ralph Hart, It. 3, Bay
City, was the lucky one. Fourth
prize, a silver chain necklace with
bluebird pendant, went to' Retha
Margaret Smith, R. 2, Rushton.

Of course you are all interested in

, the names of the birds, so here they

are: 1, Kingfisher; 2, Robin; 2, Par-
rot; 4, Nightingale; 5, Sandpiper; 6,
Lark; 7, Swallow; 8, Flamingo; 9,
Dove; 10, Partridge; 11, Wood-
pecker; 12, Biuejay Did you get all
of them right? _

As for the next contest, John
Vlock, R. 2, Carleton, suggests,
“Let’s have a word manufacturing
contest, that is the ones who can
make the most words from the title
‘Children’s Hour Club’.” That seems
like a. pretty good idea to me so we
will try it. The idea of the contest
is to see who can make the most
words from

CHILDREN’S HOUR CLUB

without using any letter more times
than it appears in these three words.
For example, you have only one let—
ter “E” so any word with more than
one “E” in it will not count; On
the other hand you have two of the
letter "R” and can make up words
containing one “R” or two but not
more. Four Mystery Prizes will be
given and the contest closes August
25th. Any letter received after noon
of that date can not be considered.
Now lets’ see how good you are at
making up words—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

Dear Uncle Ned—Seeing that some of
the cousins are giving their opinions on
“The Modern Girl” I will, too. I think
that "Wild Flower in Full Bloom” is a
bit too wild.

I think the boyish bob or the wind—
blown boobs are very nice for girls and
young women but not for elderly women.
Smoking is not healthy, butfor girls it
is not healthy or lady-like. I think mov-

cent ones, but public dance hills are no
place for young girls, especially if they
are not escorted. Knickers are just the
thing, not only at home but for hiking
and camping.
Also “Wild Flower" you may be right
when you say you havo lots of friends,
but what kind? Any of us can have
friends, and boy friends, too—yes, lots of
thorn—but we want decent, polite and
manly friends.

As for youth, I'think we can enjoy our-
selves without being “wild’ or going to

‘ public dances, and I think old folks have

very interesting problems and enjoy them—
selves as much as young folks do, only
in another way.

As for powder and paint, I will not say
much as I use them myself, but I do
think that some girls look better without
it.

Come on, boys, give us your opinion.—
Dorothy Hoffman, R. 2, Saginaw E,. 8.,

modem girl, Dorothy.-—-Uncle Ned.

Dear Uncle Ned—I have been reading
the M. B. F. for some time and enjoy
the letters very much. This year was

time to write.
I disagree with some of the letters

, about bobbed hair, smoking and drinking,

but if a girl Wants to drink and all those

, bad habits that is her business, isn’t it,

Uncle Ned? I know for my part I don’t
like to see any decent girl drink or smoke,
but there are some that do.

And as for bobbed hair I think it is
perfectly all right. I have had my hair
out for about 6 years and during that
time I had a. boyish bob. I don't like that
but some girls look good in it. I didn’t,
so let it grow out to the bottom of my
ears. That I had it so I could do it up
and about two weeks ago I had my sister
art it off. My mother also has her hair
bobbed, and all my sisters.

that he wanted to ’sell. He wanted $8
for a piece about 10 feet long and 6 feet
wide. Mother told him she didn’t want
it but he wanted her to take it just the
same and entered it for 37. Mother told
him “No,” that papa was away to Hill-
man and We didn’ t have any money with
us. So he went away.

He had a funny looking truck. It had
a small house on it. I watched him as he
went out. He put the linoleum in his
truck and went near the tool shed and

Tongue ' Twisters

 

 

A day or two ago, during a lull in bus-
iness, two little bootblacks, one white and
one black, were standing at the corner
doing nothing, when the white bootblack
agreed to black the black bootblack’s
boots. The black bootblack was of course
willing to have, his boots blacked by his
fellow bootblack, and the bootblack who
had agreed to black the black bootblack's
boots went to work,

When the bootblack had blacked one of
the black bootbladr's boots till it' shone
in a manner that would make any boot-
black proud, the bootbiack who had
agreed to black the black bootblaok’s
boots refused to black the other boot of
the black hootblack until the blank boot-
black, who has] consented to have the
white bootblack black his boots,‘ should
boot had been blacked refused to do, say-
ing it was good enough for a black boot-
blaok to have one boot blacked and he
did not care whether the boot the white
bootblack hadn’t blacked was blacked or
not.

This made the bootblaok who had black—
ed the black bootblack’s boot as angry as
a bootblaek often gets and he vented his
wrath by spitting upon the W hoot
of the black bootblack. This roused the
latent passion of the black bootblack and
he preeeeded to boot the white bootblack
with the boot which the white bootblack

The prelude to our text is a mir-
acle. The evening sun is gliding the
Western hills. A hungry multitude
' lingers. The“ disciples are anxious;
they, would have the crowd sent
away; there is no food. But present—
ly, a few leaves and fishes are found;
the new Rabbi is looking toward
heaven; He is giving thanks; and
the food is increased until "all ate-
and were filled.” The tired and
hungry men, women, and children
are fully supplied. This is a picture
of the refilling power of Jesus
Christ; of his ability to sustain life.

How adaptable and satisfying is
the whole bread of the Gospel! The
Galilean fed the five thousand with—
out respect to race, nationality, or
religion. This is significant of the
world’s need: but also that this need
is satisfied only in the Bread Sacra-
ment, Christ. “From Greenland'a icy

only Christ can satisfy the common

spiritual hunger. But men have so
machined and processed the Gospel
to a perverted taste, that the modern
brand that isput on the market is
muchly void of essential nutrients
and vitamines. A great English
physician has said that the white
bread that most folks demand is no
slight cause of cancer. Similarly, we
are a starved, rickety, and diseased
generation because we have demand—
ed and accommodated Gospel, a roll—
gious bread accommodated to our
pampered appetites instead of to our
essential soul hunger. Our churches
have thrown down to them no great-
er challenge today than that of a
united understanding and effort in
toning tastes for the Living Bread.
Spiritual dyspepsia is appalling! Let
us away with religious condiments
and feed on the Manna from Heaven!
But it is encouraging that we have
begun to recover. Natural hunger is
returning; ‘ that gnawing for the
Bread that satisfies. We gladly hail
the day when a spurious bread is be-
ing abandoned, when the loaves ot
mistaken prophets are being thrown
away, and when we have begun to
recuitivate a taste for the natural
food of the Spirit. This is the time
to revamp our religious machinery
so that it will turn out the True
Bread of hungry masses. Perhaps.
in our neglect to do this, we have
been more weak than unwise. That
veteran missionary, Stanley Jones.
says “Our churches are made up of
people who would be equally shocked
to see Christianity doubted or put

tributed this bread to the multitude.
Ah, this is always the Christian's mis-
sion. Not without us can Christ

Is it the ori-
ginal Bread of Lite? 01‘ is it highly
milled by a special denominational
process? Said flies Blank to the
writer, “When I first went to the
foreign field I was instructed by my
mission board to an up OUR church.
But, 0, when I saw the terrible hun-
ger of the people I could do nothing
but feed them the bread of. Jesus."

y'peoples converge upon the sclemn

duty of feeding them this Bread. But
what about the church? Well, the
church organization will follow as an
irresistible result; but. it will take
on the incidental colorings of its own
time, geography, and race, as it
ought to. -

But Philip thought it couldn’t be '

done. The multitude was too great.
There wasn’t enough bread that
everyone might take a. little. It is

even so now. The disciple of little
faith is saying, “Who is sufficient for
these things?" And isn’t it true that
could this generation’s sins and tears
and sufferings be concentrated and
viewed at a glance, the stoutest heart
would tremble. But herein is the
mercy of the Lord. We are not per-
mitted to see the sins of society
massed. (We should be shocked to
see our own thus uncovered.) and
so we go on in our God-given task of
simply feeding Bread to individuals.

Jesus are manna for a hungry com-

Yes, you should belong to your _
community church. (And one church ‘
is enough). And be an active be
longer. Not active in “knocking"
but in making the church a dispen—
sary of Ln True Bread. This is your
community's greatest need. With—
out it, it will stagnate. Maybe it has
already. Go out to that pool of dead
water. See the green scum on its
surface. Is that like the soul of your
community? Why? Go out to the
running brook. See the clear, spark-
ling water. Is that like your com—
munity? There’s a reason. Thirsty
souls are being slacked. Hungry
hearts are being fed. There is a
church at the center which has the
spirit of Jesus who is the bread of
life. Help it along! This is your
daily bread if you only knew it. It
makes life worth living. It brings
heaven to your neighbors.

' set for the sixth annual summer

get-together of Michigan Hol-.

stein folks. Our host will be Joseph
H. Brewer, owner of . Blythefield
Farm‘, which is located on U. -S. 131,
just across the Grand River bridge,
about 9 miles north of Grand Rapids.
or, 6 miles south of Rockford. Those
’driving on M44 should turn south
about 2 miles from the junction of
the road with 131.

The program includes lunch at

noon furnished by Mr. Brewer, de- ,

monstrations on the herd by J. E.
Burnett, Director of the Bureau of
Animal Industry for the State of
Michigan, and a varied program of
sports and contests open to everyOne.

The usual plan of only one speak-
er will be adhered to. The Superin-
tendent of advanced Registry for the
Hols’tein-Friesian Association of
America—our own H. W.’, Horton,
Jr.———will talk on the. new Holstein
herd test, “The Holstein—Friesiaii
Registry.”

A headliner in the Blythefield herd
is “Florence,” the cow that recently
completed a yearly record of 1,279
pounds of butter, well over 1,000
pounds of butterfat! She is the: third
Michigan bred cow ever to make such
a large record. Among her stable-
mates are two others over 1,000
pounds of butter and several now on
test headed toward such records.
Eight cows have made seven-day rec-
ords of over 30 pounds of butter, one
yielding over 40 pounds. In fact
every mature cow in the herd has
met the Blythefield standard of 25
pounds. This herd stood fifth high-
est in the U. S. A. last year in proved
production.

The day is planned so that Hol-
stein folks can get acquainted with
one of the very best herds, can en-
joy a good visit, and a Short pro—
gram of education and fun.

Remember! Friday, August 24th,
at Blythefield Farm.—J. G. Hayes.

IMMEDIATE OUTLOOK FAVOR-
ABLE FOR SHEEP INDUSTRY

N C R E A S E D marketings and ‘
I Slaughter of lambs, accompanied

by an improved consumptive de-
mand for lamb, and a continued good
world demand for W001 are indicated
during the next 9 months, accord-
ing to the mid—summer Sheep and

Agricultural Economics, United De-
partment of Agriculture. With refer-
ence to the long—time outlook the bu-
reau says “sheep production in the.

“The supply of hogs that will be
. available for market duringrthe next
12 months,” says the bureau, “is ex-
pected to be considerably less than
during the 12 months juSt passed,
and indications are that both the do-
estic and foreign demand for pork
products will show some improve-
ment. A hog production maintained

vat the level of 1925 and 1926‘, rep-

resenting an annual. inspected slaugh-
ter of about 42,000,000 head or some
6,000,000 less than “the indicated
slaughter for the crop year ending

Americans and canadiafis

ated by Senator Smith’s opening sen-
tence. He said, “We are glad to wel-
come you from the neighboring State
of Michigan.” The tourists were tak-
en through the factory in groups of
eight. Each group was in charge of
a man who explained the process of
preserving and jam making, and each
person was presented with a sample
glass of jam. One interesting fea-
ture was the large quantities of black
currants which were being used.

At Beamsville the pilgrims took
dinner in the high school building.
It was a social occasion, with Cana-

‘ dian growers present, and many
points of common interest were dis-
cussed. Among the after-dinner
speakers was Mr. T. J. Mahoney,
member of the legislature. He des-
cribed the vast, publicly owned power
industry which has erected a net-
work of electric power lines in the
Province and sells power to the citi-
zens at very low rates. The rate at
Beamsville was said to be 11/; cents
per kilo-watt. Read it and weep! The
publicly-owned power industry in
the Province was said to represent
an investment of 140 millions and
furnishes 17$ horse power for every
man, woman, and child in Ontario.

The next stop was at the pear or-
chard of S. M. Culp. A very fine
crop of Bartlett and Duchess pears
were seen. The trees were on clay
soil. A strip of sod is left in the
tree rows and the middles are culti-
vated. The sod strip is mowed, and
is also burned over once each year.
A ring of ashes and cinders is placed
around each tree to prevent fire in-
jury to the collars. Psylla is con-
trolled mainly with oil in the dor-
mant season. A nicotine‘spray is
used later when necessary. Five suc-
cessive years of oil spraying has
showed no ill effect on the trees. Ni-
trate of soda is used as a fertilizer
at the rate of five pounds per tree.

It might be of interest to note that
throughout the day the caravan was
escorted by a special detail of Pro-

-road open and also stopped traffic at
all main roads while the caravan was
crossing or entering them.

The Vineland Horticultural Exper-
iment Station, of 180 acres, was in-
spected by the tourists and points of
interest explained by the director,
Prof. Palmer. The Viking red rasp-
berry was originated here in 1914,
and is now being extensively grown
in Ontario. The variety is not con-
sidered equal to Cuthbert in flavor
but was said to be a better shipper,
a sturdy, upright grower, and quite
resistant to disease. .It is a speciallyr
easy picker and hired help is said to
prefer picking Viking over any other
variety. Many were interested in
seeing a purple leaved peach tree
which bears red-fleshed fruit.

The tourists then drove through
the city of St. Catherines and on to
the Larkin Farms. Brock’s Monu-
ment and the Welland Canal were
seen on the way. At the Larkin
Farms near Niagara on the Lake
were seen 40 thousand apple trees,

-none over 14 years old. Last year
,a 50 thousand bushel crop was har-
‘ vested. This year’s crop is very light.

A few miles more, and the Tour
? ended at Niagara Falls. Thundering
.Niagara! A vertical river, plunging
into a milky, misty caldron, and
flattening out into a‘crazy mosaic of
,gswirling Whirlpools.

Fertilizers On Sweet Clover.

     

I June 20th, I helped to weigh up some

fertilizer topdressing hay weights at
the Pennsylvania DemonStration
Farm north of Howard City. with as—
tonishing results. These plots were,
staked out and the materials applied
by Gerritt Posthumous, the farm
manager, on the second- of May.
There was a very large difference six
or seven weeks later. The sweet
clover was sowed in peas and oats
last year and came through the wint-
er a fine stand. This soil is known

87 per cent as compared to the plot
that had no fertilizer treatment.

CHICKEN PRODUCTION

HE number of chickens being
T raised on farms in 1928 is
is about 10 per cent less than
in 1927, according to returns re-
ceived by the Department of Agri—
culture covering approximately 22,-
000 flocks, representing all States.
The returns showed the number of
chicks and young chickens of this
year’s hatch in these farm flocks 011
July 1 to be 9 per cent less than 011
July 1 last year. Returns for June 1
showed 12 per cent less, for May 1,
15 'per cent less, and for April 1, 16
per cent less, than 011 the same dates
last year.

The reduction is not unexpected in
view of the somewhat unfavorable re-
lation between» the prices of poultry
products and the cost of the poultry
ration that existed during most of
1927 and the first half of 1928.

Enclosed find $1 for three years for the
best farm paper. I do not want to miss
a copy. I wish we could have it every
week—C. E. Whitaker, Clinton County.

A; Cattle Market Lower While Hogs Advanced

Lambs Steady—Butter, Eggs and Poultry Finite—Wheat Lower

By Market New. Service, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U.- B. D. A.
(Special to THE Busmnss 8411mm)

,weighty steers was meager,

: ROPS generally made goOd prog-’
ress during July. The tendency
of prices at the end of the month

was firm to slightly downward. In
contrast with the cattle market
which showed decided weakness, the
price of hogs advanced while the
lamb market closed steady Butter,
eggs and poultry were firm with
slight advances in price or values
well maintained. Grain and cotton
markets weakened while the market
for feed continued seasonally dull.

Wheat Weak

Unusually heavy receipts of win—
ter wheat, together with improved
prospects for spring grains in both
the United States and Canada, caused
continued weakness in the domestic
grain market during the first week
of August. Generally favorable prog-
ress of the European crops and lower
foreign markets were also weakening
factors. Prices of all grains shOWed
further declines compared with those
of the previous week but soft winter
wheat continued to bring relatively
large premiums over hard winter
wheat

Corn and Oats Easy

The corn market weakened slight-

ly as a result of continued favorable

weather following the closing out of ,

the July contracts, the filling of
which had temporarily increased the
demand for corn and brought about
unusually high premiums for spot
grain. Receipts were somewhat
smaller than the heavy movement of
the previous week but stocks are re-
latively small in the markets and are
held principally at Chicago The
movement of new oats to central-
western markets increased and prices
declined somewhat, but the market
shared in the strength of corn and
had rather a firm undertone. Larger
offerings of barley weakened the
market for that grain but there was
a fairly active demand from malt—
sters and exporters which absorbed
the current receipts.

Feeds Dull

The feed market continued season-
ally dull featured by poor demand
and a price decline in most important
feeds, except corn feeds. The mar-
ket for concentrated feeds, including
linseed meal and cottonseed meal,
was generally inactive, weak and
lower. Corn feeds were reflecting the
strength in the corn market and held
generally firm. Alfalfa meal - was

lower.

Hay Steady
Hay markets held practically
steady. Receipts were generally

light but contained a. large percent-
age of new hay much of which was
out of condition. Middlewestern al-
falfa markets were somewhat irregu-
lar. Heavy offerings of prairie weak—
ened the market for that hay.

Cattle Ofl’

Increased receipts and a draggy
dressed beef market resulted in de-
cided weakness in the cattle market
at Chicago. Declines of 25c—75c per
100 pounds were rather common and,
in some instances, particularly on
grass cows and heifers, extreme de-
clines for the week ranged from $1—
32. The yearling light steer market
continued to decline. As the run of
there
was no such downturn in these
grades.

Hogs Advance ..

Receipts of hogs for the week were

"si-ightly less than. a week earlier.

(There was a broad shipping demand-

and prices showed net advances

{ranging from 10c to 25c per 100

l

l

 

pounds.
Lambs Steady
The lamb trade was satisfactory

throughout the week. Receipts were
somewhat lighter than a week earli-

[er and lambs closed steady to 25c-

higher for the week. Sheep were
steady to strong but feeding lambs
were weak. The top on fat range
lambs was 315.50 and on natives
$15.25. Washington and Montana
lambs showed the best quality and

 

./’
topped the market, although there
were some Idaho lambs which also
brought the top.-
Wool Uneven
There was a tendency toward ex-
pansion in the wool trade during the
week. There was, however, consid-
erable unevenness in the demand as
only a few of the mills are now buy-
ing in quantity. Prices were about
steady, although in some instances
slight declines were in evidence.
Butter Firm
The butter market during the week
of July 30 to August 4 ruled firm
with a slight price advance effective
at all markets. Although at no time
during the week ,could trade have

ness, from all appearances, to keep
the market alive. The old crop is
reported pretty well cleaned up and

he trade is now looking forward to

the "new crop.

been called brisk, there was suffi-
cient business to prevent large stock
accumulations. .

Eggs Steady '

The egg market continued steady
to firm throughout the first week of
August with” values well maintained.
The cheese market was steadier. Be-
cause of the seemingly high price
level, buyers continued to confine
purchases to immediate needs. On
the Wisconsin Cheese Boards there
was no change in ruling prices.

Poultry Firm

Receipts of dressed poultry have
been moderate. With demand good,
the market ruled firm, and this re-
sulted in a very close clearance of.
most stocks.

Potatoes Impmve

Eastern potato markets registered
great improvement over the week be-
fore. Eastern Shore shipments to-
taled only 1,800 cars from Virginia
and 600 from Maryland, and the
f. o. b. price reached top of $1.85
per barrel but declined to $1.75 by
Saturday. Kansas and Missouri Cob-

“There has been more business in
wool, sometimes at slightly lower
prices. Sales have been heaviest ap—
parently in eight months Texas wools
at around $1 clean bais, although
half—blood combing wool is the
strongest quality in the market. Fine

very sparingly.

“Rather more business in piece

Week of August 19
ARLY part of the week of the
of the 19th will be warm and

rainy. In fact, before Tuesday
some parts of Michigan may expect
some rather hard rains.
Temperatures will drop somewhat
before the middle but will again rise
by Wednesday or Thursday. During
these latter two days there will also
be some storminess. Immediately
following this last storm period the
temperatures are expected to fall.
From this date until the end of the
month the temperatures will probably
remain more or less below the sea-
sonal average.

Week of August 26

Temperatures at the beginning of
this week will range close to the sea—
sonal normal. In fact, we look for
no real warm weather much before
Thursday or Friday of this week.

Thunder and rain storms are
scheduled for the greater part of the
first half of this week in many parts
of the state. Immediately following
the middle of the week the sky will
clear resulting in a day or two of fair
weather.

Temperatures will be rising about
Thursday with the result of the last
end of the week being warm. - During
the last days there will, he wind and
rain stems with thunder, some of
them locally heavy.

WILL NOT DEFEND PHEASA’NTS
EAR EDITOchDefend the pheas-
ants? I should say not! I have
seen six acres of corn destroyed

by them. This pretty fowl is nice to

look at, but I think Mr. Robert Wil—
lison. can give any one. a little talk in
regard to them. I helped him plant
the seed that this “pheasants' deal"
is taken from. This seed cost him
$12.00 a bushel; he planted- the

ground twice. and they scooped the

whole thing out. or at least, hedldu't
get an ear of corn. One neighbor
had three roosters killed by them.
another had forty little» turkeys
killed by then. Mon any farmer in

this locality says the best we to-

protect the pheasant is with a shot
gun. -
The pheasant is a nice, pretty
fowl; I can give it credit for being
a mndy destroyer of mils and par-
tridge nests; this ts be eating for
the pheasant. The man that raises
them and keeps them in captivity, is
the only one that is doing the pheas-
ant justice. I have travelled over
central and southern Michigan and
most every one you see, who has any-
thing to do with the pheasant, con-
demns the law of protecting same.
This fowl would have been thought
just as much of or more, if it had
been left in its own country; the
sparrow has the same language.
They have cost the county hundreds
of dollars for bounties on them. It
will come to a bounty on the pheas-
ants, as soon as people see there is
no other way to stop their thieving
and killing game -—C. H. Berry

HOME LIFE: WHAT SHOULD
BE OUR IDEAL?

EAR EDITOR: In taking up its
consideration the mind assumes
a reminiscent mood and we re-
visit that sacred spot—our child-
hood's happy Homeuand all of its
dear scenes and fond memories are
ours again. The Home life of our
childhood. How those days and
scenes do come back to us and we

.say, “Backward, turn backward, oh

Time in thy flight. 'Make me a child
again just for tonigh.’

And the teardrop glistens in the
eye as in memory we live again those
dear scenes. But it is the Home life
of our later years that we are now
to consider.

Home; one of the dearest words
and it should mean all that is best
and blessedr Home: where the chil-
dreniorm those habits which remain
during their entire lives and make or
mar their future life. Home: where
the family gathers as a unit com-
posed of component parts. Home:

where joys are increased and sot?

rows decreased.

The Ideal Home should possess
neither poverty or large wealth but
just enough for the supplying of all
needs and a supply for charity, this
as a result of industry and frugality.

To be the ideal the home life must
have activities which produce resdlts
along lines of that which is noble
in character building, and it’ has
been claimed that the first seven
years of a. child’s life determines the
future character and these formative
years are passed within the Home,
and how essential is it that these
years have the influences of the Ideal
Home.

The Home should be made attrac-
tive to the eye, both within and with-
out. - A well kept lawn with shade
trees and flowering plants and all in
harmony. Within the home conven-
iences should be generously provided
for. Good books and choice flowers
and such arrangement of labors as
will provide opportunity for the en-
joyment of these. Some of the most
essentials are patience, kindness and
helpfulness and these cannot be omit—
ted it Home life is to be what it
ought to be.

say it is easy to build an at-

  

‘maintain such a Home as will be a

lasting monument when life’s labors
are past.

Let it ever be remembered that it
is the Christian .homes of America
wherein rests our Nation's safety
and let us do our part in helping to
maintain such a Home, remembering
ever that “Home's not merely four
square walls, with pictures hung and
gilded. Home is where affection

' cam, filled with shrines the heart has

bufldod.”——-J_. T. Daniella, Clinton
County.

CROP OUTLOOK BETTER
THAN LAM MONTH
1TH seasonalvle weather in most
W sections of Michigan during
July, the August 1 production
forecast for practically all crops was
increased over the previous month
according to report by Herbert E.
Powell, Commissioner of Agriculture
and Verne H. Church, Agricultural
Statistician for Michigan. With the
exception of corn, beans, sugar beets
and apples the condition of all crops
in the State on August 1 was as high
as the ten—year average or above.
Oats and barley are excellent
throughout the State; and if average
weather continues through harvest,
these crops will have the largest pro-
duction since 1918.

Following the disastrous rains in
June which destroyed many bean
fields and prevented some replanting
in the heavy bean section, there was
an excessive amount of rainfall in
July over much of the same area.
The condition- is lOWest in the heavy
producing section and is only '10. per
cent for the entire State. This con-
dition of beans forecasts a production
of 5,460,000 bushels which is larg-
er than last year.

fields you can’t see any land. Can’t tell
how much damage has been done but it
will be heavy. Wheat all cut, some in
barn and some standing in fields. Oats
ready to out but soft for binders. Quota-

wet uncut hay. Binders miring in over-
ripe grain. Pastures getting rank and
dirty for stock. The flat land farmer is
looking for berries. Summer fallow is a
mire and creeks are running like spring.
All crops in danger, some a complete loss.
Very few meat cattle. Hogs in thin
flesh and less numerous. Fat ewes still

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO STOP
POULTRY THIEVES?

 

HE BUSINESS FARMER has spent a large sum of money and in-
tends to spend considerable more in its efforts to drive the chicken
thieves out of rural Michigan. What are you doing to help?

Have you put good locks on the doors of all buildings and either
barred or fastened windows?
Have you installed a burglar alarm in your chicken coop?

Have you marked your poultry with an identifying mark which is
registered with all the sheriffs and with poultry dealers in Michigan?

Have you joined the Minute Men or organized any other anti-thief
association?

out of. business and if you haven' t already done the things suggested
we urge that you do as many as you can NOW, not‘ ‘some day!"

We are selling Poultry Markers and burglar alarms at just what they
; cost us to assist the farmers of Michigan in protecting themselves. Of
i course, an alarm can be made if you are handy at such work but the
j making of a Poultry Marker requires the knowledge of an expert.
‘ Order your marker today while they can be gotten at this low figure.
