ncrcascd Crop Production for 1917

T HE receipt of many letters from
Michigan farmers, relative to

soil management for 1917, to-
gether with the need for increase of
crop product ion, have prompted the
writer to pre esent this paper. Every-
one realizes the present and immediate
future food situation, and appreciates
the. opportunities for profit in, as well

as the need for higher crop production. ,

Crop production may be profitably
increased in several vays. On account
of the present labor situation on the
farm it is doubtful if this increase
should be attempted by increasing the
acreage or the area to be, put under
crops, but strenuous efforts should be
made to decrease the waste on many
farms and to obtain larger yields from
the acreage now un-

have many inquiries in r gard to fer-
tilizers, their value, and function. It
is perhaps unfortunate, but neverthe-
less true, that our knowledge respect-
ing the value of fertilizers for Michi-
gan soils is fragmentary, or incom-
plete, or in other words, we are lack-
ing in definite knowledge of our soil

needs. Years of carefully systematic
experimental work in the representa-
tive agricultural regions of the state
are necessary before we can speak
with authority on this subject, (yet we
should not overlook the fact that such
work is rapidly being gotten under
way by the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege Experiment 'Station). ‘When we
consider that the total annual 101111age
of fertilizers consumed in this state is
small in comparison with that consum-
ed by the states to the east and south
of it, we are forced to conclude that
the farmers, as a whole, do not con-

sider their general use justifiable. In
1915, Michigan and certain other states
consumed the tonna :10 given in the fol-
lowing table:

The writer, houvuu‘, has interview-
0d many farmers in different parts of
Michigan, and in addition, has receiv—
ed reports from certain County Agri-
cultural Agenls, as a, result of which
he is forced to conclude that the. judi-
cious use of certain substances under
the present prices of grain, etc., would
result in greatly increased yields to a,

profit to the farmer,

course, there are ex- " ' 1

doubtless can and will
increase the extent of

advantage to t h e 111 -
selves, the state, and
the nation.

cognizance. of one of
our greatest national
weaknesses, as a weak-

it, namely, that we
have been in the past,
and are to a somewhat
less extent at present,
wasteful on many of
our farms. Many, if
not all of us, realize
wherein we are waste-
ful. Some of the most

CURRENT COMMENT.

 

Patroitic citizens of Mich-

Michiganin igan have every reason

to be proud of the man~
net in which the prepar~
edness campaign has been handled in
this state. The first step in the pro-
gram was the provision for a $5,000,000
war fund by the legislature, and the
designation of a'VVar Preparedness
Board consisting of the Governor and
his cabinet of state officials. The next
important step in this connecrion was
the calling of a conference by Gover—
nor Sleeper for a discussion of the. ag-
ricultural phases of preparedness and
the subsequent. appointment of a Food
Preparedness Board headed by Ex-Gov-
ernor Fred M. Warner.

At the first meeting of this new
board, through the cooperation of the
State Board of Agriculture, provision
was made for the immediate appoint
ment of thirty emergency agricultural
agents to cover the forty counties in
which county farm bureaus have. not
yet been organized. These new agents
are to be appointed by the Extension
Department of the Agricultural College
and, together with the agents already
in the field, are to aid the Food Pre-
paredness Board in the matter of de-
termining the peculiar needs of each
county, and to aid in the local work of
that body, particularly as relates to the
distribution of needed labor.

In addition these agents will for the
period of not to exceed six months,
take. up such phases of regular county
agent work as the Extension Depart-
ment may deem most essential. The
cost of this emergency work will be
paid by the “'ar Preparedness Board
from the available funds created for
war uses. These agents are being rap-
idly selected and placed in the field and
etc this issue reaches the reader most,
if not all, of them will be working on
the job.

In addition to this cooperative move-
ment, the Food Preparedness Board at
its initial meeting last week laid plans
for the providing of seed and financing
of increased farming operations
throughout "the state. Under these
plans the cooperation of local banks
and the local elevator men will be see
cured. Plans were also made for aug-
menting the farm labor supply to the
greatest possible degree in the immedi-
ate future, also for the mobilization of
the high school and other students for
special work in caring for and harvest-
ing the crops wherever their services
can be best utilized. With all these
various agencies working in harmony
and under efficient direction, lichlgan
is probably more thoroughly organized
than any other state in the Union for
ellective preparedness work at this

r' : at . at
date, Michigan has taken the initiative”
and done everything possible to pro:
vide for an increased feed supply and
to bring about a general state of pre-
paredness for whatever eventuality
may be in store for us through the
forced entry of the nation into the
world war.

 

Perhaps one of
the most dlfi’i-
cult tasks con-
f r o n t l n g the
federal and state governments, and the
various lesser agencies working in har-
mony with them in the campaign for
preparedness, is to bring home to the
average American a proper realization
of the necessity of increased produc-
tion all along the line, if our nation is
to be a deciding influence'in the early
termination of the war.

Accustomed as .we are to the con-
templation of abundant reserve stores
of all staple food stuffs, it is difficult
to realize that at the present time the
national larder is extremely low, while
the food prospects are not reassuring.
These facts are forcibly reflected in
the trend of market conditions for all
kinds of food stuffs. The world's re-
serve of cereal grains is less than at
any previous period in recent history,
while the world prospect. for the wheat
crop is anything but reassuring. The
only hope of making up for this short-
age is through the increased planting
of spring grains. The nation’s share
in the world war includes first the duty
of feeding the European Allies as well
as providing ample food stuffs for her
own people and her own armies. ‘When
it is remembered that. the destructicm
of food stuffs through the ruthless
submarine warfare is bound to contin-
ue in considerable if not increased pro-
portion, the duty of the American farm-
er in this emergency becomes more
plain. And this increased production;
if it is to be brought about at all must
be largely through the effort and efii‘
ciency of the general farmer on from
eighty to one hundred and sixty acres,
where increased energy and efiiciency
will count most effectively for increas~
ed production.

in all of the conferences which have
been held—both state and national—
there has been every confidence ex-
pressed by men who are better quali-
fied to judge than perhaps any similar
group that could be found in the coun-
try, that an increase in the production
of staple food stuffs will be profitable
as well as patriotic, since there is ev-
ery assurance that all will be needed
at. record prices. The farmer who hes-
itates to increase his acreage of staple
food creps because of the fear of pos-
sible low prices, due to generally in—
creased production, should pause to
consider the fact that ere any of the
crops which he may plant or sow are
ready for the harvest, the reserves of
this product will have been in most
cases completely exhausted.

In the event of a long continuation
of the war there can scarcely be a
possibility of over-production. In the
case of its early settlement there
would be even greater demand for sta-
ple food stuffs during the coming year,
since the central European nations as
well as the Allies would compete for
our surplus in the open market. Un-
questionably there will be. a profitable
market for all of the staple products
which we can grow, which is a potent
reason why we should cooperate in
this general campaign of preparedness
by increasing production along these
lines to the maximum of our capabil—
itles.

The Need for increas- -
ed Production.

ious sections of

cent instances'of this kind

A unique milk meeting
her-ville, Mic-.11., Saturday,
proved an enthusiastic rally which par-
took ’of the nature of a patriotic mass
meeting. Following the calling of the
meeting to order by President Silsby,
and the report by the chairman of the
selling committee, Superintendent Ec-
cles of the local factory announced the
willingness of his concern to pay the
advance of twenty cents per hundred
asked by the producers, which will
make the product an average price .0!
$2.00 per hundred for the stunmer
months. The meeting was closed by
the singing of patriotic songs, with a
mutual good feeling between produc-
ers and buyers.

A similar situation is reported at
Tecumseh where at a recent meeting
the Detroit distributors purchasing the
product offered the producers an op-
tion between an increase in price
which would make their milk average
$2.00 per hundred for the summer
months, or additional compensation
which would bring the price up to that
received by the patrons of conden-
saries. These and other instances fol-
lowing an earlier announcement of an
advance of fifteen cents above the con-
tract price at the Warner plants, be-
ginning April 1, indicates a general ap-
preciation among milk distributors that
abnormal conditions arising since the
contracts were made must be fairly
met in order to sustain the milk sup.
ply during the summer months.

It appears that in this manner the
added cost of production due to the
great increase in the price of feeds
since the yearly contracts were made
will be divided between producer and
distributor rather than added to the
consumer’s burden. This is a fair way
of meeting special . conditions which
have arisen, and is an illustration of
the fact that fair minded men can gen-
erally settle their business problems in
an equitable manner to all concerned
when these problems are approached
in a fair minded manner.

As noted in another
column of this issue.
thirty additional coun-
ty agents are to be ap-
pointed to serve counties of the state
not now enjoying this service during
the coming season. This was the first
emergency step taken to promote in-
creased production in the state as a
needed measure of preparedness for
the eventualities of war, thus illustrat-
ing the high opinion of county agent
work among the men who are direct-
ing the state’s preparedness campaign.

These new agents have been appoint-
ed primarily to aid in the distribution
of labor which may become available
wherever same is needed on the farms
of: their several counties. In addition
they will discharge many of the usual
duties of county agents acting in or-
ganized counties. Every farmer in the
state should feel free to call on these
men for information and aid, and to
utilize their services in every practical
manner.

There is considerable discussion in
counties where farm bureaus have not
been organized, as to the value of
county agent. work'lnterested farmers
can secure a first-hand demonstration
of the value of this work by getting in
touch with the newly appointed agent
for his county by attending confer-
ences which will be held by such agent
in the near future. To get the great-
est benefit from the county agent, ev-
ery farmer should cooperate with him
as well as welcome his aid in the solu-
tion of individual problems.

Use the County
Agent.

Rumors have it that the Allies are

and the subjugation of Austria’s move-

as chief among the reasons why the
dual monarchy would at this time be
glad to make peace with the entente

alternative of either going back to

The Japanese people have voted to

the old government went to the people

(Continued from first page).
that much of the profits derived from
use of mixed fertilizers on the staple
crops, where a systematic rotation of
crops is practiced, and manure return-
ed to the soil, is due to the phosphorus
present, is overwhelming, that is un-
der normal soil conditions. It is doubt-
less true that the reports of many in-
vestigations of the use of fertilizers
show that an addition of nitrogen in-

creases the yields on most soils, but M

the cost of the nitrogen added, and the
market price of the crop grown, are
limiting factors in the profits to be
obtained.

Where beans are to be grown on
soils that have not produced a legume
for some time, or have not received
stable manure recently, an application
of about 300 pounds per acre of a 2-12
fertilizer would probably be somewhat
more profitable than the phosphate
alone, but if the soil is in pretty good
condition, with respect to crop resi‘
dues, about 200 pounds of a fourteen or
sixteen per cent acid phosphate would
unquestionably be a good investment.

Inasmuch as the yields of the cat '

crop are generally influenced more by
lack of available phosphorus than oth4
er plant food elements, applications of
150 to 200 pounds per acre of the acid
phosphate for most conditions should
be suflicient. Of course, if clover is
seeded with the oats the phosphate
doubtless would be of great benefit to
it. In this connection it is well to call
attention to the fact that usually about
two-thirds of the acid phosphate should
be charged to the first crop grown, and
the remaining one-third to the crops
that follow.

If the selling price of corn is high
and the yields are not as large as they
should be, it is probable that an appli-
cation of about 200 pounds of a 2-12
fertilizer applied in the hill, or about
300 pounds or more, if broadcasted,
would be profitable. However, we
should not fail to call attention to the
fact that the yields of corn may be
greatly decreased by lack (if rainfall
during the blossoming stage, and sev-
eral days thereafter, irrespective of
the plant food at its disposal.

Cowpeas and soy beans may, and do,
frequently respond profitably to appli-
cations of about 200 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre. Buckwheat is an-
other crop, according to reports, that
responds to applications of acid phos-
phate, that is when grown on soils that

are somewhat depleted of their fertil—
ity. Moreover, we hare received some
reports to the effect that a 2-1.2 mix-
ture has paid.

Root and tuber crops, unless grown
on land previously devoted to clover,
or mixed meadow, or manured, some-
times receive rather large amounts of
complete fertilizers but, of course, un-
der present conditions, mixtures con-
taining only nitrogen'and phosphorus
are available. It is probably true that
the additions of 600 pounds or more of
a 3-12 or 4—12 mixture would increase
the yields and the profits derived from
many of the poorer soils.
~ If one contemplates the use of fer-
tilizers it should be strongly emphasiz-
ed, that good drainage, good soil tilth,
good seed, the presence of lime and
vegetable matter in the soil, are all es-
Sential for maximum efficiency of fer-

u’

tilizers, be, they incomplete or com-
plete. . '
Muck is being used by many farmers
in Michigan to improve light sandy
soils, proving especially valuable dur-
ing seasons of low precipitation.

proposition, standard applications be-

CROP AND FERTILIZER QUES-
TIONS.

 

Soy Beans for Hay.

Please tell me how much Ito San
Soy beans per acre to sow or drill, for
hay. I have been trying to find out
from different ones and have not been
able to do so.

Branch C0. J. D. C.

In using soy beans for hay, if you
drill them in rows twenty-eight inches
apart as you would common white
beans, you will need about one bushel
of seed per acre. The seed is smaller
than white beans, consequently you
will have more plants to the acre, but
I don’t think this will be any too thick
for hay. Of course, if you sow them
broadcast, you will need more seed,
probably twice as much. I think the
better way, however, is to plant them
in drills and cultivate them.

Capacity of Drain Tile.

How large an area in acreage can a
four-inch tile for a main outlet, laid
one inch to 100 feet, drain satisfactor-
ily? Also, five-inch, six-inch and eight-
inch tile? About how much will it in-
crease the capacity for each one-inch
fall in these four sizes of tile up to
about fifteen inches to each 100 feet?
Above questions relate to outlet tile,
not laterals or branches.

Mecosta Co. C. A. \V.

\Vhile questions like this are mathe—
matical questions largely, yet they can-
not be answered with mathematical
accuracy on account of different soil
conditions that would exist in different
communities. My answer is based on
my own experience in draining land
more than on mathematical calcula-
tions. If a thing works properly, it is
all right, even if figures show it to be
not exactly correct.

1 would not trust a four-inch tile for
a main drain with one-inch fall for
over four or five acres of land. The
capacity of drain tile to carry water is
in proportion to the square of their
diameter. For instance, the capacity
of four, five, six and eight—inch tile
would be sixteen, twenty-five, thirty-
six and sixty-four respectively. How-
ever, it‘ four-inch tile will carry the
water from a five-acre field, you would
want about a six—inch tile to carry the
water from a ten—acre field. In a
proposition of this sort we want to be
absolutely safe, and therefore, We
would use a larger tile than we deem
necessary.

I am not competent to figure with
anything like accuracy the extra
amount of water that would pass
through a tile when you increase the
fall. I know, of course, that the water
will run more swiftly where you have
plenty of fall and it would not take as

large tile, but there are many things.

to take into consideration. The faster
the water flows the greater the fric-
tion also, but again, if the laterals

The cost of the different sizes of tile
for the main drain would 'not be exces-
sive, and my idea would be to use
those of sufficient diameter so that
there would be no question whatever

sized field, say ten acres or more,witb

wise to use at least a five or Six-inch

lnoculating Sweet Clover.Seed.

I wish to sow some sweet clover
with my spring wheat. Will you kind-
ly tell us just how to inoculate by the.
glue method? Would you bring the
soil in by the stove to dry it? Will the
heat destroy the bacteria? How much
soil would you use for one bushel of
seed? How much glue? Would you
soak the seed a few days before sow-
ing? The seed is hulled.

Newaygo Co. A. F.

Dig up a. few sweet clover plants
where they are growing in a very
thrifty manner. Strip the dirt from
the roots with your hands so as to get.
all the bacteria. For a bushel of seed
you would need say, a couple of quarts
of this dirt, that would be about all
that would adhere to the seed. Don’t
expose the dirt. to bright sunlight. Gen-
tle heat will not kill the bacteria but
bright sunlight will. It. would be all
right to dry the seed by the stove I!
it isn’t exposed to the sunlight. After
the soil is dry, pulverize it very fine,
of course screening out any pieces of
roots, etc., that it may contain.

For a bushel of clover seed you will
need about five or ten cents worth of
glue, the exact quantity doesn’t mat-
ter so very much. Dissolve this glue
in a pint of warm water, then add
enough water to make about a pint, or
even a quart will do no harm. Pour
this over the clover seed and thorough-
ly stir the clover seed. You can put
the clover seed in a galvanized wash-
tub and take a small-bladed spade, a
dock spade, a paddle, or even your
hands, and thoroughly mix this dis-
solved glue with the seed. The idea
is to get the glue mixed, sift on your
soil containing bacteria and thorough-
ly stir it again. This will adhere to
the seed.

It will do no particular harm to leave
the clover seed for a day or two if
you keep it out of the bright sunlight,
but the sooner it is used after treat:
ment the better.

Using Fertilizer as a Top-dressing for
Wheat.

I have eight and a half acres of
wheat on rather poor soil. Used 150
pounds of fertilizer last fall. Will it
be. of any benefit to the wheat to apply
100 pounds to the acre broadcast this
spring?

M. J. M.

Livingston Co.

Some people recommend the top-
dressing of poor stands of Wheat early
in the spring with nitrate of soda or a
good high-grade complete fertilizer.
Personally, I never tried this because
I could never. make myself believe that

this was the way to use fertilizer. Fer-

tlian; ,it‘i‘would "ruff

The plant cannot use it unless it is
dissolved in the soil moisture. Now,
when you use fertilizer on wheat, in
the spring you take a chance that the
fertilizer will not get down into the
soil. You must have rain at the preper
time and this rain must not run of!
from the soil, it must soak down into
the soil and carry the. dissolved fer-
tilizer with it, if the plant is to get the
good of it. Many times conditions are
favorable. and this idea will work out
all right.

As long as yeti used 150 pounds of
fertilizer last fall, I don’t believe that
it would be profitable anyway to use
more this 'spring as a top-dressing. One
hundred and fifty pounds of fertilizer
per acre is about all that is necessary
to grow a good crop of wheat if condi-
tions are favorable. Of course, if you
have seeded this wheat land to grass
and clover, a top-dressing of fertilizer
now would help this new seeding prob~

 

ably more than it would the wheat.

    

one-inch:

tilizer ought to be mixed with the soil. ‘

regards to planting beans in hills, ' . ' ‘
planted 28 inches each way. Do you '
think the yield would be as good as if .
they were drilled? They could be work- '
ed both ways and kept much cleaner, - .
and less seed would do. The seed is.
so high in price this year it would be
quite a saving in the cost of the crop. ?
Lapeer Co. . W. A. C. "

I am quite positive that you cannot
get as large a yield per acre of beans
planted in hills twenty-eight inches . ‘
apart both ways as you can to have (
them in drills, having the rows twenty-
eight inches apart, because the bean
plant is so small that you can have ,
more plants to the acre than you will
get when you plant them in hills.

Of course, you can give a little bit
more thorough tillage by having the
field in hills, and this will apply to ev.
ery inter-tillage crop as well, but if you
use a bushel of seed per acre in drills
and will barrow the land with 3. Spike-
tooth barrow before the beans come up
or with a good weeder, the beans grow
so rapidly that they can easily be tak-
en care of without resorting to hand-
hoeing. A thin stand of beans will
allow the grass to come in, but a thick
stand will so cover the space in the
rows that weeds and grass do not get
a chance to get started. I don’t doubt
but what you can raise a good crop of

Seeding Winter-killed Spots in Wheat ’

Fields to Other Grains.

I have about sixteen acres of wheat
that is badly killed in the low places,

. ll
and I do not wish to plow the wheat -
up on account of expectations of a . it
high price next year. Do you think it

would be advisable to drag up these
low places and sow to spring wheat?
Could it all be harvested together? If i
so please tell me where seed could be
procured and how and when it should _
be sown. If spring wheat is not. ad- 4'
visable, how would either buckwheat
or beans be? .

Tuscola Co. R. M. i

Neither spring wheat or barley
would ripen with your Wheat and so it
wouldn’t be practical to use them on
account of harvesting. Buckwheat
would be worse yet. That ought not
to be sown until your winter wheat, is
about ready to harvest. As a matter
of fact, you could harvest the wheat,
disc up the ground immediately, and
sow to buckwheat, and if the moisture
condition was favorable for g‘ermina‘
tion, you would stand a very good
chance of getting a crop of buckwheat.
after you had harvested your winter
wheat. I don’t believe that there is ‘
any crop that you could put in these ' f
poor spots that would be practical. "
Should you fit them and plant them to
beans, the inconvenience of tillage and
harvesting would practically take all
the profit there would be. in the crop
and perhaps more.

Corn After Beets. -

Isn’t it considered poor policy to
plant corn in ground that grew sugar
beets last year, if only a light crop? i
Tenant and land owner do not agree a
in regard to it. There are two fields
which are desired for corn and beans.
Qne is sod and the other grew beets
last year, soil about the same. Both
corn and beans require rich ground,

which one will be best to follow beets?
Shiawassee 00. J. B. H.

The consensus of opinion of those
who have tried it is against planting
ground to corn that grew beets the
previous year. Corn does not seem to
do well after beets.’ If you have very
rich land containing a large amount of
organic matter you can raise a good
crop after beets, but the chances are
against you. ‘

Beans do not seem to be aflected by
the previous crop of beets as much as
corn and would be a safer crop to plant
on the beet field. I have had a little
experience along this line and I can-
not see but what the beans were just
as good on the beet ground as they
were on the land alongside of it, that
didn’t grow beets the previous year.
but every time I have tried to plant
corn after beets I have noticed that
the oornrldid not do as wells-O. C. Le ,

stuffs every farmer should plan to

raise a liberal supply of the com‘
mon staples for family use. It is a mis-
take to allow one’s enthusiasm for a
good garden to come to an end after
plans have been made for a sufficient
supply of early vegetable crops. Rad-
ishes, lettuce, onion sets, sweet corn,
potatoes and tomatoes are all import-
ant in their seasons, but the farmer
who plans on making the most out of
his garden must provide an abundance
of the staples for his table during the
winter months.

Later Varieties Good.

Earliness is not a requisite in grow-
ing the best varieties of tomatoes,
beans, peas, sweet corn, potatoes,
beets, peppers, turnips, cucumbers, on-
ions, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, and
the like to fill the cans, pickle jars and -
bins for the winter supply. It is more
a matter of choosing suitable varieties,
getting the best seed and providing
sufficient manure and fertilizer to in-
sure perfect maturity before the frost
comes in the fall. Keeping qualities,
adaptability to canning and flavor are
the factors that determine the value of
the winter staples. The Stone tomato
is unexcelled for canning purposes as

it is uniform in shape, very meaty and
of prime quality. For home canning
purposes the medium varieties of
beans, peas and corn are preferable to
the very early or very late sorts. The
round potatoes, such as the Rural New
Yorker and Carman No. 3 are of su-
perior size and quality for cooking and
eating. Cucumbers, planted late for
pickling purposes, produces larger
crops and the vines escape the insect
pests which so frequently destroy the
early crop. Beets, turnips, carrots,
parsnips and salsify should not be 0v—
erlooked. They are easy to grow and
provide a lot of palatable food for the
winter when one can use them fresh
from the cellar. Standard varieties of
onions, cabbage and celery yield larger
crops of better quality than some of
the smaller and earlier varieties.

Time the Maturing of Crops.

In planting vegetables for canning
purposes and for storage in the winter
it is better to regulate the time of
planting so that the crops will mature
about the same time. This greatly
simplifies the work of canning and
makes it possible for one to take one
or two days to gather and store the
vegetables for winter. The amounts
of the various vegetables to plant de-
pends’so much upon the varying tastes
of the different families, and the vary-

ing yields obtained that it is difficult

/ i

for one to give advice that would ap-
ply to any individual grower.

In harvesting root crops Special at-
tention should be given to prevent
breaking or cutting, and any that are
broken should be laid aside for imme-
diate use. If one has a barn or stable

to leave them there to become well
cooled before putting them in bins in
the cellar. Always keep the cellar dark
and cool and put the roots and vege-
tables in bins constructed of slats so
as to afford a free circulationn of air.
The vegetable room should.be located
so that it will not be warmed by the
cellar heater and should have a win-'
dow that may be opened and closed to
insure good ventilation and afford
means of regulating the temperature.
As a rule, it is better to delay storage
of cabbage, cauliflower, celery and tur—
nips until the weather becomes rather
cool. Cabbage and celery will not keep
well in a cellar that cannot be kept
cool at the time.

 

A NEW INSECTICIDE FOR CON-
TROL OF CODLIN MOTH.

 

The prevalence of aphis during the
past few years makes it necessary to
use some spray for its control. Nico-
tine sulphate has been most efficient
for this purpose. However, the use of
this has added considerable to the cost
of spraying as it has not replaced any
other spray material, but is used in ad-
dition to the commonly used sprays.

In order to cut down the cost of
spraying, the Washington Experiment
Station has, during the past tw0 years
experimented with nicotine sulphate,
or Black Leaf 40, for the control of
the codlin moth.

Keeps Fruit Clean.

In 1915 they used the nicotine spray
for four sprayings after the calyx
spray. For the first spray it was used
at the strength of one part of nicotine
sulphate to 800 parts of water, plus
three quarts of soap to 100 gallons of
water. For the other sprays one part
of nicotine sulphate to 400 parts of
water, plus two quarts of soap to fifty
gallons of water. The sprays were ap-
plied May 24, June 19, July 23, and
August 23 respectively. The total per

centage of worms were kept down to p

from 4.39 to 10.34, the results varying
on different trees. 0n the unsprayed
trees there was from 29.98 per cent to
89.2 per cent of wormy apples. These
results are very good, considering the
fact that no calyx spray was made.

In 1916 the nicotine sulphate was
used at three strengths, the same
strength being used on the same plot
during the entire season. The strengths
used were as follows: 1-600, 1—800,
1-1024. Three other plots were also
sprayed with the above strengths, but
with two pounds of soap added to each
one hundred gallons of spray. Four
applications were made.

Soap Makes Spray Adhere Better.

All of the plots gave good results,
the per cent of clean fruit rangin
from 98.53 to 99.81. It was found that
the applications in which soap was
used adhered longer and spread farth-
er than those without. The general
conclusibns were that the 1-800 dilu-
tion was the most practical to use.

In a comparative test between nico-
tine sulphate and arsenate of lead four
applications of each, the trees were
sprayed with nicotine sulphate graded
in fruit as follows: Extra fancy 12.1
per cent; fancyl42.9 per cent; C grade
37.5 per cent. Those sprayed with ar-
senate of: lead graded as follows: Ex-
tra fancy 7.5 per cent; fancy 15.6 per
cent; C grade 38.5 per cent. Of wind-
falls the nicotine sprayed trees had
only 7.5 per cent, while the arsenate
of lead trees had 38.4 per cent.

These Are Right Tools

HAT you do for your seed beds before
the crops go in has so much to do with

the yield and quality you reap at harvest time that

it pays to go slow and be right In choosing your till- '1
age implements. That is why farmers everywhere— your
neighbors among them—are using International Harvester
disk barrows, peg and spring-tooth barrows, cultivators, etc.

At your 1 H C dealer’s store is your opportunity to find out
about these. There you will find disk barrows with rigid
lasting steel frames, with gangs made to be level at all cutting
angles, bearings with four wears, built correctly as to adjust-
ments, seat and levers. You’ ll find double barrow attaci '1-
ments. forecarriages, transports, everything to just suit you
and your fields, even though they be hilly, stony or of any
sort of unusual soil.

Take note of what has made the peg and spring tooth har-
rows popular with men who want crops as big as the can be
made. Pegs that nevez wear loose. Oil- -tempere spring
teeth fastened on steel pipe bars to stay. Runner teeth and
transports easy-set levers, riding sulkies, etc.

It "Patriotic Advantages In

HE almost frenzied effort of pro-
ducers of nearly all lines of agri-
cultural products to effect some
change in our'marketlng systems, has
somewhat abated. There are fewer
public meetings where untried and vis-
ionary plans are tolerated and more
conferences in which the delegates
bring and seek relevant facts.

The chief reason for the change "in
sentiment lies, no doubt,.ln the sudden
rise of prices for practically all farm
products. When quotations mounted
to figures far beyond the dreams of the
most sensational promoters, the farm-
ers at once allowed their interest in
marketing to be overshadowed by the
consideration of methods of expanding
production.

' In all probability this change may,
in a sense, he a good thing for the so-
lution of the marketing problem. If in
place of the rabid generalities of uni-
formed persons on to the ills and pana~
ceas of the present system, can be sub-
stituted carefully collected data touch-
ing upon the various phases of sorting,
grading, packing, collecting, shipping,
and selling these crops, 21 long step for-
ward will have been made.

And this seems to be the very busi-
ness that is now going on. Instead of
the appeals from the housetops which
by the way, have prefaced most move-
ments for better things and must be
credited here for having aroused the
public conscience, men are 110w quiet-
ly going about in a business way seek-
ing an economic analysis of conditions
and studying carefully the success or
failure of new methods of marketing.

Although this sober study was under-
taken only within the last. few years,
results are already apparent. Those
groups of men, as well as individual
scholars who have made public their
findings, generally agree that co-opera-
tive marketing offers the most promis-
ing solution to many of the perplexi-
ties involved in our present system.
This conclusion has followed from
studies in many markets and for a. ma.-
jority of the crops grown upon our
farms.

The results from cooperative effort
have been farther reaching than would
be apparent to the casual observer.
Take for example, the grading of fruit
by these associations. In most every
community where it has been the sys-
tem followed for several years there
has been a very well-marked improve-
ment in the crops grown by the mem-
bers of the association. Intimate con-
nection with the distributing machin—
ery has impressed the Wisdom of work-
ing to produce more of the better
grades and less of the poorer. Preach-
ing the doctrine of better goods may in
time get results, but the process would
be less certain and far slower than
where it resulted from the responsibil-

ity and lnfluenCe of active membership
in the'organlzation looking after the
selling‘of the crops. Creameries and
egg associations have found the same
fundamental principles working and
in communities where live stock ship-
ping associations have been active for
some time noticeable improvement in
the .quantity of stock offered, is ap—
parent.

Then the economies of grading and
packing in large quantities, of shipping
in cariots and the breaking down of
the old individualistic tendencies
among rural folks through their asso—
ciation together in business matters
bring the remedial power of this form
of organization to the very root of
many of those troubles that do not re-
spond to ordinary private treatment.

By reason of the economies enumer~
ated and others that could be mention-
ed, it is apparent that these rural co~
operative institutions, if generally on-
gam'zed would prove of inestimable
help. to the nation in times like the
present. The products of our farms
could be better conserved, production
stimulated and distribution performed
under conditions that. would win the
fullest confldence~matters of supreme
importance during these trying months
of 1917.

In fact, these services have been ren-
dered in a very large measure'by sim—
ilar co-operative organizations in sev-
eral ot' the. warring countries of Eu-
rope. Is it not wise therefore to let
this work go forward, remembering
that whenever we plan and work for
the. benefit and uplift of our commu-
nity we add to the strength of the
nation?

CO-OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES IN
MICHIGAN.

 

Southern Van Buren county growers
have formed the Decatur Mint & Cel~
cry Growers’ Association to improve
growing, grading and marketing meth-
ods. About 300 cars of celery are
shipped from Decatur in normal years,
the bulk of it going to Chicago. -

Growers of cabbage and other crops
on muck lands near Byron Centre,
Kent county, are planning to 00-09—
crate.

The potato growers near Howard
City, Montcalm county, have organized
and voted to secure certified Russet
Rural seed. ,

Stock is being subscribed for a farm—
ers' cooperative elevator at Marshall,
Calhoun county.

The Grand River Valley Growers' 8:
Shippers’ Association has been formed
at Grand Haven, Ottawa county, and it
includes leading runners and celery
gmwers 01 Grand Haven, Spring Lake,
Crockery, Robinson and vicinity. E.
Foster, of Crockery, is president and
S. L. VVortliing, of Spring Lake, is see
rotary. This body will affiliate with
the growers' association of Muskegon
county.

A11 instructive grape growers’ con~
gross was held recently at Lawton and
efforts that are being made towards
the federation of the different. market-
ing associations Wf'l‘f‘ unanimously ap-
proved. Thé growers recommend not
less than four sprayings of grapes each
season—twice before blossoming and
tWice afterwards. There was discus,-
sion of the expense of producing an
acre of grapes and all practically
agreed that it cost $50, so the man
who gets an average of two tons per
acre must have more than $25 per ton
to make a profit, or he must receive
twelve to fifteen cents per eight-pound
basket to pay expenses. Prospects for
the 1917 season were never better,
both from the standpoint of crops and
prices. Growers were advised to take
good care of their vineyards, improw
ing the acreage that they mow have.
rather than putting out more. .

Horses for
By.FELJX
NCLE SAM’S final decision to en-
ter the big world-war has caused
people of all classes, professions
and interests to rise to the occasion
and discuss what might be done for
the country’s good, and in that. connec-
tion a leading Cincinnati horse dealer,
who has been making stupendous sales
of horses to the Allies ever since the
war opened, points out some 5 gges-
tions worth our while, in event of
need.

“Strange as it may seem,” this man
puts it, “horses in the Cincinnati mar-
ket, which is an outlet for the big
Kentucky horse-country—are cheaper

than they were five years ago, or be-

fore the war, and this very largely be-
cause much, if not most, of the best
stock has long since gone across the
pond. What good horses do remain,
the farmers or breeders are now defi-
nitely holding back, looking to big ad-
vance in prices, and so it’s not these
horses which are sold.

“\Vith a. possibility of the war being

dition, they invariably bring alveteri- ,

narian along. The officer passes on
the general conformation—that phase
of the horse; his aide then makes a
searching investigation as to sound-
ness.

When horses are to be bought in
quantities, notices are generally
mounted broadcast and he who would
may bid.

Farmers about to breed now, defi-
nitely, for chance of army use must,
therefore, give especial care as to both
sire and mare. The colt, too, in its
turn, should be kept in good condition.

’iven though the war may have end-
ed long before such colt comes of age,
these long years of conflict have a]-
1'eady found the best horses gone, and
the arts of peace will require good
steeds—even as those of war did be-
fore.

Thanks to which, raising horses is
appealing to the farmer as not in very,
very long time.

His may be a patriotic motive at the

of t-onsiderable duration, and, in tact,
looking to supply the world, come
peace-time, the new supply of steeds,
American farmers cannot do better
than looking to breeding what; horses
they can.

“The latter part: of the st,ory---thc
usual use of horsesuis, 01' course, t'a-
miliar to all; not so, though, the mar-
tial side.

“For war purposes, judging by our
sales to the foreign governments, two
classes of. horses are required—cavalry
and artillery. In addition, the armed
forces buy two grades of mule.

“A cavalry horse must, first, of all,
be a light horse, well-fitted for riding.

“An artillery horse is the heavier
type of 'horse, and is intended primar-
ily to haul the guns.

“As to the two grades of mules, one
is the pack mule, the other the team
mule. ‘

“Pack mules are taken where it is
not possible to take the Wagons. The

other mules serve much as the artil-r

lery horses do, hauling guns and in
general. work of transport.”

Vt'hile the prime source of the ani-
mal is, of course, thethorse farm, per
se, infinite quantities can be brought
in by farmers of a countryside as well.
Farmers having horses, or believed to
have, are often notified to bring these
in and submit to the test.

The principal cause of rejection of
the farm, rather than the stud-bred
horse has, so far, been unsoundness.

Anyone hoping to get a horse which
is below standard “by” with the army
buyers—our own or those from abroad
——ha.d best stop at the start. To begin
with, the inspectors sent over to buy
are good horsemen themselves. In ad-

    

start—mthough he may well hope the
trend of events need not require—but,
for war or for peace, there will be
good use for his steed, and this at a.
price that is sure to repay.

SILAGE INCREASED PROFIT 0N
CATTLE.

 

Scott Cunningham, of Missouri, has
found a more profitable cattle feeding
plan after three years of careful study
and accounting. His first two trials
with cattle were less profitable than
he had expected, although they were
conducted in the usual manner. His
first car ofcattle, averaging 598 pounds
a. head, were bought in March, 1915,
at $7.15 per hundred. From March 29
to May 23 they consumed thirty-five
tons of silage and five tons of wheat
straw. Then they were pastured until
September 20. The pasture was val-
ued at ninety cents per head per
month. From September 20 to No‘
vember 1 they received grain o'n pas-
ture. These cattle consumed 890 bush-
els of corn, eight tons of clover hay
and one and a half tons of cottonseed
meal up to January 12, when they
weighed 1,051 pounds and were sold for
$8.10 a hundred, or a total of $2,085.
The cost of the cattle, including feed,
was $2,055.92, or only $29.08 below the
selling price. This, plus $185 worth
of pork produced behind the cattle,
constituted the $214 profit on the twen-
ty-five head.

A similar lot of cattle was purchas-
ed in the winter of 1915 and handled
in much the same manner, 'with the
exception that the cattle were fed 200
shocks of corn and five tons of mixed

ANY silos in Michigan that, un-
der normal conditions, contain
in the spring, from ten to one

hundred tons of silage to help tide ov-
er the period of short summer pas-
tures, will be empty when the winter
feeding period closes this year, and the
time to turn on pastures arrives. One
of the reasons for this condition is that.
many silos were not. filled to their ca,-
paciiy last fall and some remained
empty all winter, due to a partial or
total failure in the corn crop in that
locality. The quality of the silage that.
was put up was also in many cases
poor, which, together with the high
price of grain has causcd larger
amounts of it to be fed during the win-
.”er to get the usual results.
Keep up the Milk Flow.
The fact that this condition exists,

Cleans that on the dairy farms and

other farms as well. where live stock
is kept under more or less intensive
conditions, some other provision ought
to be made for supplementing the
short pastures during July and August.

sow a. patch of oats or oats and peas,
in size depending on the size. of his
herd, to furnish a supply or feed dur-
ing the early part of the period of
short pastures. The amount of seed
to sow per acre will depend on the na-
ture and condition of his soil and his
location. When oats are sown alone,
from one and one-half bushels on the
lighter soils, to even double the amount
on the heavier soils may be used.
When Canadian field peas are sown
with the dais, from one—half to one,
bushel ol‘ the peas may be sown per
acre and the amount of oats cut down
proportionally. When oats and peas '
are sown together, the mixture should
besown deeper than when oats are
sown alone. The oats and peas may
be drilled separately if desired, the
peas being drilled first and quite deep-
ly, followed by the oats which may be
either harrowed or drilled in, but not
so deeply. Two or more seedings of
oats, or oats and peas, a week or ten
days apart, may be made if desired so
as to furnish :1 short. succession of cut-

tenlion. All this can be prevented by
gi1ing the cow the care mentioned
above, which “means :1 very little extra
trouble, and supplying feed, preferably
of a succulent n11 turc, in the barn.
The Value of Alfalfa.

Now is the time to plan for this.
There are several feeds that will an-
swer the purpose very nicely. Prob-
ably the universally best, crop that
may be used for this purpose is alfalfa,
because it comes on early and then
furnishes a succession of cuttings dur-
ing the season without reseeding.
Dairymen who have a good patch of
alfalfa close by the barn do not need
to sow a spring crop to supply early
green feed. The dalryman who does
not have alfalfa to cut as green feed
or to cure as hay to be fed during the
summer dry spells, may use clover un-
der favorable conditions, or he may

tings of this excellent green feed.
Some Good Sailing Crops.

Cow-peas and soy beans are excel-
lent crops to be used for this system
of feeding, commonly called soiling.
They are hot weather plants, however,
and should not be planted until the soil
is warm and summer has come to
slay, probably from June 1 to 2 , in
the southern part of the state, to July
1 in the norlhern part. These make
excellent hay when cured and also
have the added value that they add
nitrogen to the soil.

Probably the best soiling crop, with
the exception of alfalfa, is corn, which
comes on soon after the oats and peas
are gone. Common dent corn has
sometimes been sown broadcast and
cut with 11. scythe, and found to be very
saiisi'aclory as 11 soiling crOp. One of
the best and most commonly used
kinds of corn for soiling purposes, how-
ever, is one of the large varieties of
sweet corn of which Stowell’s Ever-
green is 11 well-known variety. It is
usually planted in drills or hills more
thickly than for grain and cut for im-
mediate use from the roasting stage to
maturity. It is sweet and palatable
and greatly relished by cattle. None
will be wasted and it is a great milk
producer. This seed should always be
tested, preferably in the ear if possi-
ble, because it is apt to have a low per-
centage of germination. If it is not
tested until after being shelled, plant
enough to allow for dead and weak
kernels. ’

Put in a patch of sweet corn, Mr.

ANNUAL REPORT OF ALLEGAN
COUNTY COW-TESTING
ASSOCIATION.

 

The third year’s work of the Allegan
County Cow-testing Association was
finished this month, and the results
were very gratifying in many respects.

Our average production this year for
436 cows is 7,113 pounds of milk and
2986 pounds of fat, and our average
profit per cow was $50.13. This means
that the cows paid $21,843.60 above
feed cost, and brought in $1.93 for ev-
ery dollar expended.

Clarence Maskey‘s herd of Jerseys
leads the association this year with
the wonderful
416.6 pounds of fat. This not only
leads the association this year, but
sets a new high mark, our previous one
being 403.0 pounds of fat. Mr. Mas-
key’s results are the‘logical sequence
of breeding, feeding and weeding. His
herd is an exceptionally well balanced
one. Not a cow with full year made
under 400 pounds of fat, and but one
made over 500 pounds of fat. This
herd has demonstrated its ability in
semi-official work as nearly all are in
the Register of Merit. A junior three-
year-old made 458 pounds of fat and
dropped a living calf during her year’s
Work for the R. of M.

There were 368 cows that completed
a full year’s test. One hundred and
sixty-one of‘these, or 49 per cent, made
over 300 pounds; 48, or 13 per cent,
made over 400 pounds of fat, and eight,
or two per cent, made over 500 pounds
of fat; 35, or nearly 10 per cent of the
total gave over 10,000 pounds of milk;
20 gave over 11,000 pounds; ten gave
over 12,000 pounds, three aver 13,000
pounds, and one over 15,000 pounds.
This last one was a three-year-old own-
ed by H. A. Washburn and made 15,-
309 pounds of milk, and 544.6 pounds
of fat, being beaten for fat production
only by Mackey’s Jersey, which gave
549.3 pounds of fat. Thirty-one cows
gave over $90 profit each for the year
and 14 gave over $100 profit each.

The three high cows for profit are as
follows:

1. Counts Jesse 2nd, $126.54 over
feed cost. Registered Jersey of C. B.
\Vehners.

2. No. 7 Grade Jersey of M. L. \Vilo
mot’s gave $124.95.

3. No. 9 Grade Jersey of C. B. \‘Veh-
ner's gave $124.64.

The average for the five highest pro—
ducing herds in the associations is as
follows: Pounds of milk, 7,045; pounds
butter-fat, 390.5; cost of feed, $52.82;
profit, $82.82; returns for each dollar
expended, $2.57; cost per pound of but-
ter-fat for feed, $0.136; cost per 100
pounds of milk, for feed. 75c.

BUILDING UP THE DAIRY HERD.

 

Considerable discussion has been
aroused lately over the high cost of
milk production. Now, when the farm-
er is getting a price which will enable
him to produce milk at a profit, it be-
hooves him to pay greater attention to
the building up of his herd.

The question is often asked whether
a herd of pure-bred cows will not be a
better investment than a herd of
grades. The answer may be either yes
or ho, depending on circumstances. To
the beginner a herd of pure—breds
would mean a very large investment.
The same would be true of the owner
of a herd of mixed breeds who desired
to make the change to pure blooded
stock. »

If the object in view seems to be
milk production only, then the owner
of a herd of good grades will have the
advantage of the one with pure-bred

stock. The investment is 'much small-_

   

average per cow of,

er and the production equally as great.
On the other hand, if the value of the
offspring is considered then the pure-
bred herd would be a better invest-V
ment. The best plan, however, would?
be to start with a pure-bred bull, aI
mixed herd, and add pure-bred cows
from time to time.

In building up a herd two essentials
must be considered:

1. Keep a record of each cow in the
herd. This must be done accurately
and systematically. There must be no
guess work.

2. The selection of a suitable bull.
In the selection of a bull it is not
enough to get one with a good pedi-
gree, he must have marked individu-
ality and ability to get uniform off-
spring.

Even if: the dams are of mixed blood
the first crop of calves‘will be half-
bloods and will be uniform. All of the
heifer calves should be kept until they
start to produce, when the weeding
out process should begin. Circunia
stances may necessitate the selecting
of the best females while calves. Ini
this case calves of low producing dams '
should be discarded. Some breeders
select calves from dams showing the
greatest variation. There seems to be

 

at least two objections to this method. '

First there is a chance that they will;
vary toward the bad as well as the.
good, and then, if the dam has shown a
variable improvement, at some time
she must [have been a low producer
and we would not want to select our
stock from low producing dams.

The second generation brings up
perplexing questions. If the herd sire
is vigorous and has proven' a good
one, the owner does not wish to dis-
pose of him and he has heard so much .1
of in-breeding that he hesitates to keep .
him. What he wants is a uniform crop

'of calves. Now if he gets another sire ‘

to breed to his half-blood heifers, and
this sire is of a slightly different type, i
he will get an offspring which will be.
three‘l’ourths bloods but they will veryE
much in uniformity. Taking into con-i
sideration the lack of the knowledge;
of the average brooder to mate types;
correctly the breeding of a sire to half— ‘
bloods of his own get would be prefer-
red to the mating of another sire to
the same half-bloods, when the other
sire was of a different type.

The selection of the good females
from the second generation becomes a
greater task, since there will be more
poor ones in the second crop. Discard
the offspring of the low producers. As
generations come and go the charac-
teristics of the pure breed will be more
fixed. Experience has proven that
when a dam of mixed blood has been
bred to a pure-bred sire that the off—
spring of the first and second genera-
tion shops a greater increase in milk
production while the generations show
a greater increase in type uniformity.

BULL ASSOCIATIONS.

 

An official of the Department of Ag-
riculture has been assigned to the pro-
motion of bull associations, the object
of these organizations being to furnish
pure-bred bull service at, small cost
through co-operative ownership. A sur-
vey of‘the field showed that about
fifty associations had been organized
during the last nine years, of which
about twenty-five had discontinued op—
erations. The causes of failure were
found to be chiefly poor business man-
agement and the lack of local leader-
ship. As a result of a study of both
active and discontinued associations
plans were formulated by this special-
ist for embodying their good and elim-
inating their undesirable features. In
these associations, in sections repre-
sentative of varied conditions, new
plans are being tried out under careful
observation before any large move-
ment for pushing bull associations is
undertaken.

A NEW INSECTICIDE FOR CON-
TROL OF CODLIN MOTH.

 

(Continued from page 541).

The above results would indicate
that the nicotine sprayed trees graded
up better and the fruit hung on the
trees much better. There was also
noticeable effect in the control of the
scale where nicotine was used, and the
fruit seemed to have better color than
11 hen lead was used. The price per
tree for spraying with nicotine was 68
cents, for lead spraying 41cents.

At present priCes it would not be
practical to use nicotine sulphate for
(-odlin moth alone, but it‘ control meas-
ures for the aphis is necessary its use
would undoubtedly be practical. As
the tendency of arsenate of lead is to-
ward higher prices, nicotine sulphate
may prove economical for codlin moth
control.

While the addition of soap to the
nicotine-lead combination proved to
have a burning effect the use of soap
in nicotine alone proved beneficial. The
soap used was fish oil soap. Two
winnds of it dissolved in a gallon of
water is equal to four pounds of hard
soap.

l‘lu gr'atling wax to which you refer
is called walnut grafting wax, and is
made as follows:’

Resin, five pounds: beeswax, one
pound; charcoal one-half pound; raw
linseed oil, one—quarter of a pint.

Melt the resin and when entirely
invited add the beeswax which has
bt't‘ll shaved up, and after the beeswax
is melted add the charcoal and stir
thoroughly. When the charcoal has
h-wn thoroughly mixed in, the wax
should be taken from the stove and the
linseed oil added, and the mixture
thoroughly stirred again. The wax
should then be poured into :1 greased
pan and allowed to become cold. When
cold it is a hard, smooth, black cake.

When it is to be used a chunk
should be chipped off and melted and
put into a small pail. it the weather
is cold or it‘ the grafting is going to
take a long time, the pail should be
set, into a bucket having a small fire
oi" oak chips, in order to keep the wax
in :1 melted condition.

For applying use a small paint brush
and simply paint the wax ox'er the

CUCUMBERS DO NOT CROSS WITH
MELONS.

 

Many people still believe that cu-
vmnbers and cantaloups cmss-pollinate
to the detriment of each. But this is
now known to be a mistake. There is
no reason, therefore, why growers of
these plants should keep their planta-
tions separate, even when they desire
to save seed of either one or the other.
Experiments have proved that the two
may be grown in alternate blocks with-
out, impairing the quality of the plants
or fruits produced from the seed.

AYMOND BONHEUR was an an
R tist and lived in that fine old city

of. Bordeaux, in France. Like
‘most artists, he found life rather hard.
He must have food and clothing for
himself and wife and no one seemed
anxious to buy his pictures, or even
take them in exchange for bread and
vegetables. In the year 1822, a little
girl was born to this artist, and while
she was gladly welcomed by the moth-
er, her father would have nothing to
do with her, for had she not disregard-
ed his wishes and come to him a girl
instead of the boy he wanted? Of
course, she should have been a boy,
anyone would know that, for then he

Rosa Bonheur, the Animal Painter

&IMARY

could have taught her to paint all the
beautiful things he had in his mind
but could never get into his pictures.
He scolded and stamped and fumed
and scared his wife and baby nearly
out of their wits. This little girl was
named Rosa. Other children came to
the artist until there were four little
Bonheurs, and then the mother died.
Raymond Bonheur scattered these
children among his uncles, cousins and
aunts, Wherever they were willing to
take one, and he kept on painting and

L.DANN

the people kept on refusing to buy his
pictures.

\Vhen Rosa was ten years old, she
began to draw pictures of animals and
her father laughed at them. When she
was twelve years old, it was decided
that she must learn dressmaking, but
she hated it. One day she threw down
her sewing, made a face at it and walk-
ed from the room and straight over to
her father’s studio. She begged him
to teach her to draw and paint. She
declared she could never learn to sew

wobbly old seams and that her button—
holes always puclwrmi so they looked
ready to whistle.

Raymond Bonheur and his daughter
soon became familiar figures in the art
gallery, win-re they made copies of
famous'pictures. Other artists slyly
poked fun at Monseur Bonheur for hav-
ing a little girl with willow braids help
him to mix his paints. Rosa became
angry and cut. off in-r braids and put
on boys’ clothing. She liked it so
much better than her own girlish outfit
that she continued to wear it, for Rosa
was a very indelwndwnt little girl.

The pictures copied by Rosa Bon-
heur began to sell, while those of her

The Culti-Packer does every
one of the three things neces-
sary to save moisture in dry
seasons—it pulverizes the soil,
firms out all large air spaces
and stirs the surface to form a
mulch.

If you want to beat the
drought, Culti-Pack your fields
after plowing, then again after
seeding to firm the soil about
the seed, and finally use the
Culti - Packer on the wheat,
corn, oats, etc.. until it begins
to joint.

Order a Culti - Packer from
your John Deere dealer before
the dry weather sets in.

lWhen she began to paint pictures of
her own, instead-of copying and trying
to please other folks, as her father had
done, she painted to please herself.
Her pictures were of one kind—ani-
mals, always animals.

When she was eighteen years old,
she painted a picture of rabbits, which
was hung in one of the great galleries
Then she coaxed a- farmer
‘to let her paint his cow, and when a
collector offered her three hundred
francs for the picture, the farmer whis-
pered, “Take the money quick, for the
blessed cow herself isn’t worth half
that.”

At the age 01‘ twenty~eight, she paint-
ed The Horse Fair, which was such a
Wonderful picture that the. whole world

. began talking of Rosa Bonheur, and
' pictures of her, dressed in men‘s cloth<

ing, were printed in newspapers and
magazines everywhere. As we look at
one of the many copies of the famous
“Horse Fair,” we shall probably be sur—
prised to learn that the models for this
picture were all cart horses picked up
around the streets of Paris.

The Farmer’s Response to President

Wilson’s Call

We’ll have the Iargestacreage that ever yet was known.
We’re bound to fill the granaries, we’ll scarcely stop for sleep
Till the elevators bulge with a bumper.crop of wheat.

The Army and the Navy shall have no hunger dreams

if they will do the fighting, we will furnish pork and beans.
And we'll do it not for glory, we'll do it not for greed, ,
Because we love our country and realize her need.

We’ll load the ocean freighter-s for the people o’er the sea,

And feed the allied armies till the nations all are free;

And the Kaiser and his armies shall pray for terms of peace,
And old Belgium’s resurrected and the world wide war shall cease.

Then pray the Lord of harvest for the sunshine and the rain,

And the ‘finest kind of weather to ripen up the grain;

For except the Lord shall help us, ’tis no use to plow and sow,
Man can do a lot of seeding, but the Lord must make it grow.

_ Many of Ross Bonheur’scanvusses

who saw a picture of 'her St. Bernard
dog, which she had drawn on the
brown papered room of, a French ar-
tist, declares it was so natural that he
whistled to it and told the owner she
ought to pay a dog tax on it.

Rosa Bonheur’s home was a strange
old mansion at the base of high hills,
near the little town of By; in France.
It. had a red tiled roof and was sur-
rounded with beautiful trees. Here she
lived with her two servants, her St.
Bernard, a half dozen cows and two
shaggy ponies. The ponies she drove.
hitched to a funny old basket phaeton.
She never curled her hair or powdered
her nose and would not have gone to a
pink tea if any lady had dared to in-
vite her. However, living simply and
quietly as she did the French Emperor,
Napoleon II and the Princess Eugenie
went to By and up to the old mansion
and pinned on queer, little Rosa Bou-
heur the Cross of the Legion of Honor,
the first one ever given to a woman.
She died in 1899, beloved and mourned
by the whole world.

TH E BELLS. ‘

 

BY L. M. THORNTON.

I wandered out adown the street
And from the city’s ways;

I watched the twlight shadows fall.
A mystic purple haze.

I heard across the distant hills
The church bells soft and low,

And to my ears they were the same
That called me long ago.

I doffed my hat, I bent my head,
Forgotten paltry gains, ' .

The things I long had counted great.
The fruits of toll and pains.

I only heard the tender bells
Their magic arts employ,

I only heard the call I knew
And followed as a boy.‘

Again for me the rush of life
Shall sound its clarion call,

I’m eager for the stress and strife.
Where fortunes rise and fall.

But sometinie, at Liters twilight hour
However far I roam,

I know the softly chiming bells

Shall sound tocall me home.

ciety. The very nature of your life:
has left you frank, and straightfor‘
ward. You talk to me just as you
would to a man. Most men try to be
funny and entertaining, as though I
was a baby to be amused. I hate that!
I am not so young I cannot think and
feel.”

“If my frankness has interested
you,” I ventured, “can you not realize
how much I desire to learn more—~who
you are, why you are here ?”

“Of course; but I cannot tell you,
Mr. Hollis—«mot yet." -

She looked at her wrist watch, hold-
ing it out into a star-gleam, which re-
vealed the white shapeliness of her
arm.

“I dare not even remain here with
you longer.”

“But you will come again?
not to be our last meeting?"

She , hesitated, her eyes meeting
mine almost kindly; then she held out
hethand.

“The last—yes, in this way. You
will meet me again, but not as we have
tonight. I have truly enjoyed being
with you, of hearing your story, but
this meeting here alone was not my
choice. You. understand I could not
avoid it, and after I was discovered. I‘
had to remain and win your pledge to
secrecy. You will not forget that?”

‘She laughed softly, and withdrew
her hand, which I still held.

“Tomorrow night! Oh, I cannot tell;
we may be far enough at sea by then
so I need no longer seek fresh air by
night. I told you my concealment was
only temporary. “But,” and her voice
became serious, “if I deem it neces—
sary to continue this masquerade. you

would not keep me a prisoner below, .

I hope?" ‘

“You mean that if I wait for you
here, my presence will banish you
from the deck?"

“Yes, for that would be an appoint-
ment. 3. pro-arranged meeting to which
I could not consent. It would cost. me
your respect."

“Never,” I protested. “nothing could
lead to that. Strange as all this mys-
tery is, I believe your actions justifi-
able: I,do not even ask an explana—
tionffl

“You have, indeed, been wry kind,
very considerate. I cannot thank you
enough. Surely you will grant this last
request also?”

“That I will not seek you again
alone?"

"Yes; but there is no need to repeat
the request; you are a gentleman;
good night, Mr. Hollis."

The gray dress she wore left upon.

me the impression that she faded from

sight, her dim outline vanished so sud- ,

dculy amid the shadows. I took a swift
step i'orawrd, impelled by an irresisti-
lile desire. to ascertain in what portion
of the yacht she found concealment.
wt paused almost as quickly. Her last.
uords had been those of faith. of con-
fidence, and I would be. guilty of no act
to change her good opinion. She had
given me her pledge that her purpose
on board had no evil motive; that.
within a day or two at most, she would
appear openly, and clear up the appar-
ent mystery. I could not front the
trunk honesty of her eyes, or listen to
her voice, Without being convinced of
her truthfulness. Who she was, and
why she had chosen so unconventional
a manner of joining us. was beyond my
guessing. l essayed many a theory,
yet one after the other. all broke down
and left. me groping in darkness. Only
one fact remained steadfast, to which
i would cling with confidence—the girl
was no mere adventures-S. no criminal;
she was doing nothing of which she
was in the least ashamed, nor had she
the slightest fear of consequencvs.
The after deck was deserted as I
went below and sought my stateroom.
In the berth I lay and thought, but to
equally poor results. \t'ord by Word I

reviewed our conversation. endeavor»

ing to recall some expression which

.. might. yield me some faint clue. The

name, “Vera,” haunted me with tanta-
lizing memory, yet I could not bring
back from the pasr its association.
Still cndeavoring to recall the list of
acquaintances in hope of thus touching
some spring of recollection, I lost, con-
sciousness and slept.

I slept so soundly as to be the last
guest at the breakfast table the next
morning, although as it sat there alone
Fosdick returned from the deck to the
cabin, seeking a rain coat. and report-

yacht, was proceeding slowly. He paus-

the arm of a chair, smoking. The ves-

down, but the really important news
had come to Carrington by wireless——
positive information of the outbreak of
war. Russia and France were pitted
against Germany and Austria in the
death grapple; The German troops had

- already begun an invasion of Belgium

on their drive toward Paris. It was
still unknown what course England

The nature of this news obscured all

my meal. Other messages were mo-

.THE MICHIGAN. FARMERI

deck. It was a raw, disagreeable morn-
ing, the fog shutting in close about us,
an impenetrable curtain, the yacht
nosing its way forward with utmost
care, its siren wailing out every mo-
ment in warning. From the companion
I could barely distinguish the outlines
of the bridge enveloped in folds of

vapor, and overside perceive a narrow -

lane of frothy water. The air was
heavy with moisture, and the passen-
gers on deck were huddled beneath the
protectibn of the awning, their interest
in the receipt of news alone keeping
them on. deck. I joined them just as a
cabin boy handed Carring-ton a new
message. He read it, crashing his
clinched hand down on the rail.

“It’s all over with now,” he exclaim-
ed, holding the paper aloft, and gazing
about into our eager faces. “England
declares war, gentlemen. She will
stand by her treaty with Belgium.
Here is our opportunity; listen to me.
This is going to be the greatest war in
history; every nation in Europe may
be involved before it is ended. Do you
realize the commodity most in demand,
the one metal those armies cannot get
along without? It is copper. They
must have it, and they must buy it of
us. This morning, as soon as I receiv-
ed that first dispatch, I wired my
agents to buy, buy, buy. Now, with
England in, the result is certain.”

He paused, and studied the faces in
the group.

“Gentlemen, there is wealth enough
here on this yacht to control the entire
copper output, if we work swiftly. The
profit will be enormous. I have the
campaign all mapped out; I know
where to buy, and my agents are ready
to execute my orders. I am going to
say to you frankly that I had this
thought in mind when I first organized
this cruise. I invited you to join me
very largely because of what you rep-
resent in the business world. I believ-
ed this crisis was approaching, and
prepared for it. I wanted you men to-
gether, away from every other influ-
ence, where you could make quick de-
cision. Our very absence from New
York, which has been widely advertis~
ed, will tend to allay all possible sus—
picion that we are influencing the mar-
ket. By wireless we can operate sure-
ly and secretly, with no possible fear
of betrayal. The only question is, are
you ready to back me up 1’”

The expressions on the faces of
those gathered about him reflected the
varied characters of the men. They
were alike startled by the unexpected
turn of affairs, yet financial greed evi—
dently predominated. Even the one
German in the group had seemingly
forgotten his nationality in view of the
golden bait dangling so temptingly be—
fore his eyes. Fosdick, actuated by his
lawyer instincts, and still cool, and cal—
culating, was first to question the prop-
osition.

“You are perfectly assured of being
able to control the market?” he asked.

“I already practically control,” re-
turned Carrington confidently. “With
a little more capital the game is cer-
tain. My agents have everything buy-
able located, and a price put on it. All
I need do is' order the deals closed. In
twelve hours, gentlemen, we can have
the copper situation entirely in our
hands. Here are my holdings individ-
ually. This morning, by wireless, I ac-
quired options on twenty-five per cent
more. I need your help to close the
deal.”

They bent over the papers, eager to
grasp the truth, but abundantly satis-
fied with a quick glance at the magic
figures. It was evidently enough a
master stroke, a business deal easy to
comprehend, and all that remained for
them to do was to take their profits.

“You—~you return immediately to
New York?” questioned McCann, his
lips trembling.

“Certainly not; our game at present
is to keep out of sight; permit no one
to discover who is behind the move—
ment. Your personal checks Will sat-

isfy me. I propose holding the yacht,
say a hundred miles from shore, and
conduct the entire business by wire-
less. That makes lt safe and sure."

The group of financiers started at
each other, one waiting for the next to
voice decision. Fosdick, as usual, took
the initiative.

“I’m heartily with you, Carrington,”
he said frankly, “you can count on my
check for $100,000 right now.”

“And I,” “and I,” echoed from lip to
lip. “It looks like mighty easy money,”
added McCann, “and I need a little.”

Carrington smiling pleasantly, turn-
ed toward me.

“And how about you, Hollis? Com-
ing in with us? we ought to have one
Chicago representative, you know.”

I shook my head, doubting my abil- '-

ity to produce the amount required off—
hand.

“Not today, give me a few hours to
think it over. I should like to talk
with you privately first.”

“All right; we shall have enough
without you, but I’ll hold the chance
open until you do decide. .Let’s ad-
journ to the cabin, gentlemen, where
you can draw your checks while the
steward opens a few bottles. This is
an occasion to be celebrated.”

We were upon our feet, not unwil-
ling to escape from the raw air, when
the voice of the lookout. sounded muff-
led, but distinct, far forward.

“Sail ho!”

“Vthre away?” echoed the bridge.

“Off the starboard bow, sir—~21 big
one.”

“In gathered at the rail staring out
blankly into the smother. Then sud-
denly the mist seemed to roll asunder
as though cut by a knife, and there in
the rift, as if the fog were a frame, ap-
peared one of the finest sea pictures I
ever remember seeing. A huge iron
warship, her funnels belching smoke
at full speed, the white spray racing
along her sides, swept into view. We
had a glimpse of the black muzzles of
guns protruding from forward and af-
ter-turrets, of groups of sailors on deck
and in the fighting—tops; a white-clad
officer leaned over the bridge—rail.
There was no flag: nor did we need
one to know for what she stood. It
was the vision of an instant; then the
fog closed down between us, and the
Speeding monster was gone. Carring-
ton pointed out into the blank mist.

“There go‘es one of your bulldogs
now,” he said. -‘That fellow has his
orders already. In five hours more not
a German liner will dare leave New
York.”

 

CHAPTER V.
The Wreck of the “Esmeralda.”

E passed the greater part of the
day below, and long before
night came, a heavy, sweeping

rain set in and kept us there. I never
recalled a. more blinding, disagreeable
Storm at this season of the year, and
in those waters, although there was
very little wind or sea accompanying
it. The smother, however, made it .saf-
er to proceed at half-speed, and the
lookouts forward were doubled. Every
time I ventured to peer through the
glass of the companion I distinguished
the burly form of Captain Turner on
the bridge, his oilskins glistening with
moisture.

It seemed a long evening, as I was
in no spirit for cards, and discussion
was altogether about the war, and the
projected copper pool. Carrington re-
ceived several messages in further
proof that the affair was already well
under way, but he made no other at-
tempt to arouse my interest. I had no
expectation that the girl would ven-
ture on deck in the face of the storm
raging, but her pledge to make her
presence known to those on board so
soon as we were safely at sea, kept me
up until a late hour. The possibility
of her sudden appearance, and expla-
nation, rendered me nervous, and
sleepless, but my watchfulness brought
no reward. By ten-thirty I had retired

"a a§"‘gammm,' 4n} I headed” that it

was useless to waltian'y longer. Yet
even there, and whenpartly disrobed,
a temptation .to explore the . decks
again assailed ‘me. I unscrewed the
port and glanced out, the cold -rain
driving hard against my face. Noth-
ing could be seen; I stared into an im-
penetrable black wall. There was evi-
dently nothing to do but remain where
I was, and I closed the portand lay
down in the berth.

I had passedtoo many black nights
at sea to be kept awake by any haunt-
ing fear of possible accident. There
would be watchful eyes aboard, on

' bridge and forecastle, and there was

no storm, merely a quiet surge of wa-
ters, through which we were steaming
slowly. To be sure, by now the E8-
meralda must be close within the ordi-
nary track of the great liners bound
for northern Europe, and the thought
of collision occurred to me, but was as
instantly dismissed. Yet I remained
restless, and it must have been consid-
erably after midnight when I finally
fell asleep.

I do not know what aroused me, but
I sat up suddenly. wide-awake, a
strange ill-defined fear clutching at my
heart. What was it I had heard, a cry,
a blow on the deck above, had I really
heard anything, or was it merely the
echo of a dream? The stateroom was
dark as Erebus, but I got my feet over
the edge of the berth, and switched on
the electric light. Even as I stood thus,
my hand still on the switch, someone
ran swiftly across the deck directly ov-
erhead, and a voice wavered out:

“Port, sir! Hard-a—porL——111y God!"

There was a startling crash forward,
the awful sound of crushing iron, and
splintered timbers. I was flung head-
long against the partition, barely sav-
ing myself by outstretched hands, but
falling bruised and helpless to the
deck. The electric flashed out instant-
ly: but a dull gleam from without
streamed through the glass of the port.
It. was a ghastly green light, and I rec—
ognized it at once as the port lantern
of the ship, which had rammed us. Be-
fore I could get to my I .t even, still
dazed and-trembling m the shock,
the ghastly green radiance began to
recede. Rage took the place of fear—
Ihe cowardly murderer was backing
off, was leaving us to sink! I clawed
my way across the stateroom, seeking
to gain view without. but could per-
ceive little. The glass was dimmed
with moisture, and through it I could
see merely the circle of green light re-
vealing the outline of a high bow. No
other gleam was visible but above me
a man cursed hoarsely. and then
screamed out some order which I
could not distinguish.

All this was the work of an instant.
What had omurred was as clear to my
mind as though I had actually witness-
ed the scene from the deck above. A
great steel steamer, a tramp, no doubt,
from its darkened decks, had plunged
out of the blackness, and rammed her
how straight into us- The contact
must have been well forward, near the
bridge. We were going down by the
head; already I could perceive the list,
the deck under foot was tilting; the
engines had ceased to throb, as though
the inflow of water had reached the
boilers. Feet scrambled along the
deck, overhead, voices yelled, and I
could hear the creaking of boat tackle.

Working desperately in the dark,
scarcely able now to keep my feet on
the slanting planks, I hastily drew on
what bits of clothing I could find at
hand, and felt my way blindly to the
door. It was jammed, but I kicked it
open, and stumbled forth into the main
cabin, clinging to the door fume in
order to retain my feet. A smoking
lantern swung to a beam, throwing a
dim glow over the interior, revealing a
scene of utter wreck. Everth had
been wrenched loose, and flung for-
ward—chairs, books, plum, hurled
against the bulkhead, and blocking the

stilts. The hookmehudtoppled over,

 

the shattered glass of its doors strew-
ing the deck, and, just beyond, lay the
dead body of the steward, the whole
back of his head crushed in, his white
jacket ghastly with the stain of blood.
Beyond, half way up the stairs, his
face hidden from view in his arms, lay.
another man, clad in pajamas.
stateroom doors stood wide open, but
no living being was visible. All who
survived that first shock must have
fled to the deck in mad struggle to es-
cape. Ay, and there was desperate
need for me to join them. The Es-
meralda. was going down; already her
forward hold was filled with water, the
bulkheads alone keeping her afloat:
once they gave way, she would sink
like a stone.

I crossed the cabin on hands and
knees, clawing my way desperately
through the litter until I attained the
stairs. These no longer led up, but for-
ward. Beyond was utter blackness, si-
lence; and through the shattered door
drops of rain splashed. I had to creep
over the dead body, and caught a
glimpse of the man‘s face, scarcely
recognizable in the dim light; the
short gray beard alone gave me cer-
tainty he-was a banker named Case.
I had played cards with him a few
hours before, but. he was dead now I
made sure of that, although there was
no visible mark on him. I remember
all this; the picture of that cabin, with
all its horrors, is as clear before me
as though etched and yet I Ciept
through it dazed, and scattely compre-
hending my actions.

It was not until I had made my way
to the outer deck, and felt, the night

 

«air and rain on my face, that I truly

awoke to the danger. The tilt of the
yacht forward was so sharp, I dare n01,
release my grasp of the rail. I could
scarcely see anything; not a light
burned, not even a distant star glim-
mered; the driving rain blinded me,
and soaked through my shirt to the
skin. The only thing I could perceive,
shading my eyes as I stared, was a
green light showing far away to the
right, the reflection ‘of which barely
revealed our starboard mil crushed
and splintered, and masses of water
already surging aft of the main hatch.
It was a sight to take the heart out of
any man;
death clutch of those waves almost. at
the companion, the sharp slope of the
yacht's deck, the dead, sodden feeling
under foot. I scarcely dared move, for
to release my grip was to slide down
into the black water, into the rit‘fle
of spars and ropes forward. It was all
horror and death that way, but from
aft, under the awning, a sound of ex-
cited voices reached my ears, and the
rasp of boat tackle. No doubt all on
board, who lived, were there, seeking
to escape. They had sprung for the
open deck at the first alarm, not even
waiting to dress, and, if I would join
them, there was not an inst ant to lose.
The after bulkhead could not hold out
long; any moment, any unusual roll of
the sea, would rend it asunder, and the
Esmeralda would sink. Life hung on
seconds: nor would those frightened
wreches wait to learn the fate of any
others aboard.

Clinging to every projection of the
cabin, I attained the port rail. The
stanchions formed a species of ladder
by means of which I could clamber
aft, but, even as I attempted the first
step, a voice called to me from out the
black depths below, and I hung there,
staring behind me, unable to perceive
a thing, excepting a litter of tangled
wreckage.

“Don’t leave me! give me a hand.”

“Who are you?”

“HcCann; you are Hollis, ain’t you 2”

“Yes; are you hurt?”

‘fiNo; bruised a bit, no doubt; my
foot is caught under a spar." ~

“Alone?”

“The second mate fell with me: he’s
down below—dead, I guess."

didn‘t you keep it to yourself?”
I “ Jul I only told one person," Grace
'protested. “I just happened to men-
tion to Minnie Snelling that you’d like
to own it. I never said you intended
to buy it.”

“Minnie Smelling!” John snorted.
“You might just as well have written it
up for the county paper, and you know
it. You ‘just happened’ to mention it
Ito her and she ‘just happened’ to stop

old Baxter’s farm. I'll keep things to
myself after this. If a man can't trust
his own wife who on earth can he
trust?” And with a bang of the door
that shook a plate off the pantry shelf,
‘John stalked off to the burn.
, “Ugly old brute,” Grace exploded as
sshe picked up the remains of her fav-
orite plate and put them in the rubbish
basket. “It‘s too bad he can't, trust
his Wife! I didn’t tell Minnie ho was
going to try to get the old farm. I
just said he’d like to own it. I‘d like
to own a limousine and a baby grand,
but. I don‘t expect to so long as I live
with an old miscr like him that only
thinks of buying farms. I’m glad i did
tell and he can’t get the old ranch.
Just; that much more hard Work and
another hired man to humor. I‘ll tell
anything I please. I’m no child to be
told to sit down in a corner and keep
quiet.” And with this resolution Grace
began to slam dishes into the pan as
a means of working off the storm.
Dinner found John still silent and
moody, still chewing the cud of his
wrath and disappointment. Grace made
one or two attempts at conversation
but not being met half-way, loftily
tossed her head and pretended to be
absorbed in pleasing thoughts. John
needn’t think he could lord it over her
that way. She could be just as inde-
pendent as he was. Suppose he didn’t
like her telling. He might have been

a gentleman. l‘lonty of wives told
more important things than that and
their husbands never scolded and took
on like tyrants.

But when days rolled into weeks and
John still stuck to his policy of keep-

ing his own counsel, irace’s faith in'

the absolute right of her own course
began to waver. They had always talk—
ed everything over,” and she missed
the coniradeship. John no longer sulk-
ed, he could not roumin bad-tempered
if he tried. Ilo was once more whist—

ling and joking..;1nd willing to talk.

about the war in Europe. But when it
came to personal affairs he kept a.
stubborn silence. irace was at first
amused. John thought he would teach
her a lesson, she smiled to herself, the
day he brought home a tractor With-
out telling her he intended to buy one.

.

 

Design of Embroidery.

But when the purchase of the tractor
was followed by the building of new
cement walks and a watering trough at
the barn, her amusement turned to
into dismay. If John had SO much
money to spend, why didn’t she know
about it? She had always known be-
fore whon things Were to be bought. or
improvements to be made. There were
no end of things she wanted, if money
was so plentiful. Surely John could
not have been serious when he made
that silly threat Io keep things to
himself?

If he were not serious, John proved
that at, least he meant to give the plan
a thorough trial. The finishing touch
came when he walked in one day and
tossed :1, legal document into Grace’s
lap. She took it up wonderingly and
found it to be the deed for the Baxter
farm. '

“Why didn’t you tell me you were
going to buy this?" she demanded. “I
think when it's a question of more
work and a big outlay of money I
might at least be consulted.”

“I didn’t; tell you because I wanted to
get it at as low a figure as possible,”
John replied. “I told you some months
ago I‘d like to get it, and woke up next
morning to find everybody knew I was
going to try to buy it. Nextltime I
drove by there the old man ambled out
and told me his ‘flgger’ was $125 an

acre. I told him he could probablysget~

know how it was run down, and drove
on. Last week he offered it to me for
$100 an acre curb; and finally‘agreed
to take a $1,000 payment and a land
contract for the balance. By keeping
my mouth shut I got what I wante .”

“But I wouldn't have told if I had
thought it was anything important,”
(‘irace said. “I never tell anything I
know matters.”

“Everything personal is important
between man and wife,” John came
back: “Neither one has any business
to tell things they talk over at home.
They don’t know how the next one is
going to twist things, nor how‘the
story is going to sound when the neigh-
borhood gets through with it.”

”Well, you needn't have jumped on
me the way you did,” Grace protested.
“A body would have thought I had
committed the unpardouable sin. Lots
of wives tell more important things
and their husbands don’t row them.”

“No,' nor they never trust them
again,” John said. “They just shut up
like clams, and their wives never know
what’s the matter nor why they never
talk things over any more. I could
have done that and been a gentleman,
but I thought I’d rather let you know
where I stood. Then if you understood,
we could keep on as partners. If you
didn’t want to reform, I would still
have a chance of keeping still in the
future."

"Yes, but you did both,” Grace ob-
jected. “You made a terrible fuss about
it and then you never told me anything
any more either.”

“Well, you acted as though you were
perfectly right, and didn’t care a mite
what I wanted, so I thought I’d be
just as independent as you were,” said
John. "Now we’ve both acted like a
couple of children, let’s be good and
start over again. I’m just busting for
someone to talk to.”

“I’ll sure be glad to know when there
is any money to spend,” Grace conced-
ed. “1 know a dozen ways to spend a
ten dollar bill right now. And honest,

' I didn't tell Min you were going to buy

the old farm. I just said you’d like to

UNIQUE CENTERPIECE lN LOOP
STITCH EMBROIDERY.

 

BY MAE Y. MABAI‘FY.

For embroidering designs made up
of clover blossoms there seems to be
no stitch quite so appropriate as the
one known as loop stitch, a combina-
tion of heavy padding and the. familiar
lazy daisy or bird’s eye stitch. The il-
lustration shows an. unusually attrac-
tive and unique centerpiece, fifteen
inches across, which is well adapted
to this form of embroidery.

The edge of the piece should, of
course, be padded in the ordinary man-
her, and buttonholed closely. If the
pattern is carried out on a tan or gray
linen it will look well to have this
work done in a light shade of green,
one which blends with the greens used
for the foliage. On white linen the
edge may be in white.

The stems are done in the darkest
shade of green employed, and it is
wise to use at least three shades of
green in all, two in the leaves and one
in the stems, changing so that some
leaves are darker than others. The
leaves may he worked in the long and
short stitch illustrated in the small
diagram. or be outlined and filled in
with seed stitch, the common book
stitch of the . seamstress. Another

 

; ifi .1...

this-climate: is 'to einbrolder each
leaf in two parts, the stitches slanting
upWard and outward in opposite direc-
tion from the center, thus leaving a
ridge in the center. >

To make the blossoms in the loop
stitch, first pad the central portion of
the blossom for about half an inch
across. Four shades of floss will be
needed for the blossoms. and the me-
dium or dark shade will be best for the
padding. Pad crosswise, then again
lengthwise, and then crosswise, less
heavily on the outer edges. Be sure
that the last row of padding lies cross-
wise of the blossom so that the loop
stitches will not sink down between.
The outer row of loops ‘ill be prac~
tically outside the padding, and should
be of the lightest shade of floss. The
next row is a shade darger, and so on
toward the center, the darkest shade
being used here. Since the center only
is padded, the blossoms round up nice-
ly, giving them a natural and graceful
contour not possible to work on one
level. The loops are shown also in
the small cut, but without the padding
stitches beneath. Each loop represents
one petal of the flower, and each loop
is held down at the tip by a tiny
stitch, which must not be drawu into
the padding too tightly. A rather heavy
floss should be used.

M. E. F., Pcr-ry.—V\'e have used so
many recipes recently for preserving
and pickling meats that I am holding
yours for later use. I thank you for
sending them. Col. Cody died January

CORN MEAL BREAD.

Two methods for wheat—and—corn
bread have been formulated and test-
ed by H. L. W‘essling, assistant chem-
ist in the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Departmem of_ Agriculture.
They follow:

Wheat and Corn Bread, Enough for
Four Loaves.

Two and a quarter pounds, or two
and a half scant quarts of sifted bread
flour; three-fourths pennd, or two and
two-thirds cupfuls of corn meal; two
cakes of compressed yeast: three level
tablespoonfuls of sugar; one and one‘
quarter level tablespoonfuls of salt;
about one quart of liquid (water, milk
or equal parts of milk and water), three
level tablespoont‘uls of shortening if
desired.

If milk is used it should be scalded
and then cooled until lukewarm. Less
yeast may be used, but more time for
rising will then be required.

Make a sponge with two pounds of
white flour, the yeast, salt, sugar and
the lukewarm liquid. Cover and set in
a moderately warm place to rise, where
it will be free from drafts and where
the temperature will be between eighty
and eighty-eight degrees F. When the
sponge has become very light, which
should occur within two hours, beat it
up thoroughly, add the softened short-
ening, if this is to be used, and grad-
ually work in the remainder of the
wheat flour which has been sifted with
the corn meal. Knead the mixture un-

 

 

,the meal three and one-half cupl‘uls of

 

*_
'L

 
   

til a smooth. and elastic dough has
been formed which is fairly soft, but
not sticky. If the dough is too still or
too soft, add a little more water or
flour as required ,kneading well after
each addition. Cover and set back to
rise again until double in volume,
which will requirefrom one to two
hours. Knead lightly, divide into three
or four approximately small portions, .
reserving a small ball of dough for an
“indicator." Place this ball of dough
in a small jelly-glass having straight
sides, which has been slightly warmed.
Note the volume of dough in the tum-
bler and mark the glass at twice this
volume.

Mold the loaves and place in slightly
warmed and greased pans. Place these,
together with the glass containing the
“indicator,” in the same warm place
and let rise until the. “indicator” shows
that it has just doubled in volume.
Then place the loaves in the oven,
which should be at a good steady heat
and bake forty-five to fifty minutes.

Wheat and Corn Bread No. 2.

Same proportions as for No. 1, except
the liquid. _

T’ut. two and two-thirds cupt‘uls of
corn meal into a. double boiler or a ves-
sel which can be placed over another
one containing boiling water. Add to

cold water; mix thoroughly and bring
to the, boiling point, stirring frequent—
ly. Allow the, meal to steam for at
least ten minutes, then cool it until
lukewarm. To this scaldcd and cooled
meal add the salt, sugar, one. cupl‘ul of
flour and the yeast rubbed smooth and
mixed with two cupl‘uls of lukewarm
water. Mix thoroughly, cover and sol
in a moderately warm place to rise, as
directed in method No. 1. When this
batter has become very light, which
will require about two hours, beat it
thoroughly, add the. softened shorten-
ing, it" it is to be used, and the re-
maindcr‘ol‘ the. white flour. Knead
thoroughly until it is smooth and elas-
tic. Cover and set back in its warm
place to rise until double in bulk. Then
mold into loaves and finish as directed
under method No. 1.

GRAINS AND SEEDS.

April 24, 1917.

Wheat—New high price records
were established again last week when
No. 2 red reached $2.70 on the local
market. Prices fluctuated within a
wide range with a strong tone prevail-
ing at the close of Monday’s sess10n.
Although a great deal of damage has
been done the growing crop, rains this
past week have materially improved
the outlook over a wide area of the
winter wheat belt, and greatly helped
the farmers in the spring wheat sec-
tion where the acreage to be sown Will
be greatly in excess of other_ years.
The wild buying of flour followmg the
announcement of war between this
country and Germany has abated to
a considerable extent and this has
weakened the position of the bullsun
the trade. Foreign demand remains
steady. Primary receipts are about the
same as for the corresponding period
a year ago. The price for No. 2 red
wheat on this date in 1916 was $1.17

   

 

per bushel. Last week’s Detroit quo-
tations were:
No. 2 No. 1

Corn—Corn values made new rec-
ords again last week with the trade
continuing in a very firm position, al-
though the volume of sales was not as
large as during periods when supplies
were more plentiful. The visible sup-
ply decreased 1,053,000 bushels last
week. In the Ohio valley and to the
west where planting is in progress
conditions are favorable and acreage
will be large. One year ago No. 3 corn
was quoted at 750 per bushel. Last
week’s quotations were:

Oats.~—The advance in oats was com.
paratively small and the trade contin-
ues quiet and easy. The visible sup-
ply decreased 1,651,000 bushels last
week. Seeding is progressing under
favorable conditions in most of the
heavy oat growing districts. A year
ago standard oats sold here at 461/20
per bushel. Last week’s local quota-

WOOL.

 

The government has declined the of-
fer of the wool trade to allow agents
of the War Department to select such
grades and quantities as may be de-
sired to fill war orders, with the result
that the exchanges were opened again
last week when prices immediately ad-
vanced to new high levels. There have
been many inquiries for fleeces, and
but few sales reported on account of
the rapidly depleted supplies. Pur-
chases are beginning to be made in
this state, with prices ruling around
500 for fine and medium grades. How-
ever, some of the producers are hold-
ing in expectation of higher values.
Michigan unwashed delaines are quot-
ed in Boston at 530; do combing 48@
56c; do clothing 44@46c.

 

GRAND RAPIDS.

 

Potatoes hold at $3@3.20 in this mar-
ket while the quotations at loading sta-
tions outside are around $2.80. White
beans are quoted at $8@9 here, Char-
lotte and Otsego markets quote at
$8.75, Stanton at $8.50. Wheat starts
off this week at an even $2.50, but with
market unsettled and prices tending to
go higher. Oats have advanced to 800;
corn $1.60; barley $1.50; rye $1.50. In
the meat line live fowls are quoted at
20@22c; hogs 15@17%c; mutton 17@
18c; lambs 19@200; calves 15@16%c.
Eggs are worth 32@33c.

LIVE, STOCK MARKETS.

/ April 23, 1917.
Buffalo.
Receipts here today as follows: Cat-
tle 175 cars; hogs 50 d. d.; sheep 65
d. d.; calves 2200 head.

 

 
   

’ With 176 cars of cattle here today
the demand for shipping grades from
the east was very light and we had the
worst trade of the season, practical]

. . Y
nothing done until afternoon. The bulk

of the shipping cattle and medium

weight steers sold 50@75c lower, but

the low priced common kinds from 950
lbs, down were only 250 lower. Cows
from 650 lbs. down sold fully steady,
but the better grades 'of cows and heif-
ers- were fully 25c lower. There were
only a few stockers and feeders here
and there was a.- good outside demand
for them at steady prices. The bulk
of the bulls sold 15@25c lower.

Moderate supply of hogs and a rath—
er light demand forced prices 10@15c
below Saturday’s best time, bulk sell-
mg at $16, three fancy loads of heavies
at $16.35, a bunch of the same lot sell-
on Saturday’s market at $16.50. Pigs
and lights $14@14.50, as to weight and
quality; roughs $14@14.25; stags $12
@13. About everything sold that ar-
rived in time for market and looks like
a fairly good trade on anything decent,
but with so many light weights coming
cannot look for much improvement on
this kind.

With a heavy run of lambs today our
market opened very slow and prices
500 lower than the close of last week.
About 10 loads unsold and we look for
steady to shade higher prices last of
the week, depending chiefly on the
receipts.

We quote: Wool lambs $15.50@15.75
per cwt; clipped lambs $12.60@12.75;
clipped heavy lambs $11.25@11.50; cull
to common $10@11.50; yearlings $11@

Buyers were late in taking hold of
cattle this morning, and while butcher
stock and choice steers were firm, it
was generally assumed that other
kinds of steers would sell more or less
lower. Hogs were on an average about
15c lower, with sales at $14.25@15.85
Hogs received last week averaged in
weight 217 lbs. Sheep and lambs of
desirable quality went at firm prices,
with prime wethers bringing $13.

Cattle Were in much smaller general
demand last week than usual, and the
sellers were forced to submit to big
breaks in prices for most kinds, with
the few strictly prime beeves selling
early at a further small advance. The
top price, $13.50, was a record-breaker,
but even the good and choice beeves
sold off sharply later, along with other
descriptions, the bulk of the steers re
ceived during the week finding buyers
at a range of $10.25@12.75, choice to
fancy long-fed heavy steers going at
$12.75@13.50, while a class of steers
grading as good found buyers at $12@
12.70. Steers of a medium grade had
an outlet at $11@11.95, and a fair kind
of steers of light weight brought $10
and over, while sales took place of in-
ferior little steers down to $8.75@9.75
and an occasional sale at an even low-
er price. Yearlings were salable at $11
@1240 for desirable offerings, with
very few strictly choice lots offered.
Butchering cattle were wanted at $7.80
@1125 for cows and at $7.50@11.75 for
heifers, while cutters went at $7.15@
7.75, canners at $5.75@7.10 and bulls
at $6.50@10.15. Calves were .in rather
animated demand most of the time,
with sales at the week’s highest time
at $6.50@13.50, light vealers going at
$11 and over. There was only a mod-
erate amount of business accomplish-
ed in stockers and feeders, moderate
offerings and high prices discouraging
buyers. Stockers sold at $7.10@9.75
and feeders at $8.60@10.25. Many
stockmen carrying cattle have been
shipping their holdings earlier than
was at first intended, as they are afraid
that later prices may be placed on a
lower scale, and the market has been
glutted with immature offerings. Pret-
ty much everything in the cattle line
has gone off materially in values, and
stockmen have expressed surprise over
the way the market acted. It seems
to be the prevailing opinion that cattle-
men will continue their practice of
marketing their holdings except follow-
ing bad breaks in prices. The close of
the week saw a boom in canners and
cutters, while other cattle were 25@
40c lower than a week earlier.

Hogs suffered severe declines in
prices during the last week, following
the boom of the preceding week which
landed prime heavy shipping barrows
at $16.50 per 100 lbs., the highest price
ever recorded. It was not a case of
too generous offerings, as the receipts
continued on a far- smaller scale than
a year ago; but rather an instance
Where all classes of local buyers and

 

‘< APRIL 28,1917...

eastern shippers decided that the mar- -

ket had been advancing at too lively a
pace to.last. Owners of hogs are slow
in_putt1ng on more weight ontheir
shipments to market, and recent re-
ceipts averaged only 212 lbs., compar-

‘ing with 211 lbs. a week earlier, 218

lbs. one year ago, 231 lbs. two years
ago and 232 lbs. three years ago. The
eastern shipping demand for hogs has
been checked by the high prices, and
it 1s not unlikely that the consumption
of fresh and cured hog meats will be
curtailed because of their dearheSs, al—
though thus far the demand is 'verv
large, with exports of bacon and lard
comparing favorably with those made
a year ago. The best prices are paid
for prime heavy barrows adapted for
eastern packing, requirements, and
prime light shipping hogs sell about.
200 below them. The failure of own-
ersto make their hogs heavier is ex-
plained by the dearness of corn. At
the week’s close lignt bacon hogs
brought $14.40@15.55, heavy packers
$15.30@15.80, light shippers $15.60@
15.90, heavy shippers $15.80@16 and
pigs $10.50@13.65. Pigs closed about
$1 lower than a week earlier. A week
earlier hogs brought $15.25@16.35.

Lambs, sheep and yearlings are high
sellers all the time, even if at times
prices weaken, as was the case part of
last week. At the best time of the
week prime I'at wooled and clipped
lambs sold at the highest prices on
record, and extremely high prices were
paid for prime yearlings and wethers,
while western feeding and shearing
lambs sold higher than ever, with a
good demand. The receipts included
a much larger proportion of clipped
flocks than heretofore, and few sheep
or yearlings arrived. Closing prices
for wooled lots were: Lambs $13@16;
fat heavy lambs $14.50@15.60; feeding
and shearing lambs $14@15.40; year—
lings, $12.50(d>14.35; wethers $11.75@
13; ewes $7.50@13; bucks $10@11.25.
Shorn lambs brought $11.50@13 and
spring lambs $14@18. Shorn wethers
brought $10@11.25. ,

Horses were in moderate supply and
in good demand last week at firm pric-
es, with army horses going readily at
$120 for mounts and $150@160 for gun—
ners. On Monday eastern shippers
bought more than 900 horses. A good
demand existed for drafters at $185@
285, while good chunks weighing 1250
to 1500 lbs. were wanted at $125@175.
Common to fair horses were quoted at
$60@100.

MICHIGAN GROWERS ORGANIZE.

 

The Michigan Growers’ & Shippers’
Association is the title of an associa—
tion formed at Muskegon, with the fol-
lowing officers: President, Arthur De-
Baker, Norton; vice—president, Stanley
Worthing, Spring Lake; secretary—
treasurer, Frank I—Iile, Norton; business
agent, W. J. Moorman, Muskegon; di—
rectors, the ofi’lcers and Harry Ross,
Fruitport; Egbert Poster, Spring
Lake; Laurence Tyler, Norton; Klaas
Bolen, Spring Lake. The membership

fee of $1 is returned to members out

of the profits at the end of the season.
Business will be done with a limited
number of commission houses and the
members will receive the stamps of
these houses to be used on their pack-
ing cases. W. J. Moorman will repre-
sent the association in Chicago. The
three per cent ordinarily paid to the
local solicitors of commission houses
will go to the association treasury in-
stead and out of this the operating ex—
penses will be paid and the balance
will make up a fund from which a divi-
dend will be paid at the end of the

season pro rata on the amount of pro- ~

duce shipped by each member. Re-
turns for each shipment will be made
direct to shippers the same as though
they were acting independently after
each consignment.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES.

Emmet 60., April 23.—-Snow is just
gone. Cool and rainy. Only under the
most favorable drainage conditions has
it been possible to plow or work the
ground. Buyers are picking up every-
thing available in the way of beef cat-
tle. Pretty good demand for farm
work horses, heavier grades preferred.
Prices range from $100@250. The crop
of spring pigs is very light. Milch
cows are high. Beef 10@13c; pork 12
@160; fowls, live 200. Winter grain
and seedings in good condition.

St. Clair 00., April 21.—Fall grains
are improving. New seeding and mead-
ows not very promising, as yet. Oat
sowing delayed because of the recent
rains. Ground worked up good before
the rains but too wet for planting.
Some potatoes planted. Oats and corn
very scarce. Fruit trees are generally
neglected; not much spraying done.
Potatoes $2.50; beans $8; wheat $2.50;
corn $1.50; butter-fat 420; cattle $5@
10 per cwt; ‘hogs $11@14, live weight.

country fit for market is getting very
scarce.

In the cattle division this week the
general market held about steady with
that of a week ago, but good prime
grades were dull; at present there
seems to be a strong demand for can-
ner cows, presumably for canned
meats for war purposes. Most any
kind of a canner would bring $6 per
cwt. and from that to $6.50. Good
milch cows were scarce and those here
brought good strong prices. The close
in this department was steady with
the close a week ago. Prices averaged
as follows. ' Best heavy steers $10.50@
11.25; best handy weight butcher
steers $9.50@10; mixed steers and
heifers $8.50@9; handy light butchers

Hatchingr and Rearing Guineas
By c. H. CHESLEY

HE guinea is an interesting bird,

and it requires much less atten-

tion to successfully rear than
turkeys, ducks or even chickens. In
many parts of the'country there seems
to be a growing interest in raising this
class of fowl. Markets are calling for
guineas more insistently each year and
particularly is this true where there
are large hotels and high-class restau-
rants and cafes, as it is almost the only
available substitute for wild game at
the present time, therefore it is n01
strange that the demand is growing
larger every season.

A few pairs of guineas on the farm
should be a source of profit and even
though they are not kept for profit,
they are well worth much more than
the cost of feeding, as sentinels to
warn of approaching danger and as in:
sect gatherers in the garden. We keep
the white variety because this bird
dresses off handsomer and Seems to be
rather tamer than the Pearl Guinea.
A flock of White African birds is as
beautiful as any poultry that is raised
on the farm and if the caretaker will
exercise a little discretion in search-
ing out the nesting places, they are
certainly no wilder than a turkey.

Hens Make Good Foster Mothers.

Our guineas begin to lay about the
first of May and continue all summer.
If the birds are allowed full liberty and
the flock is of considerable size, with
about an even division of the sexes,
they will mate in pairs. One male is
sufficient for five or six females, how-
ever, if there are no more in the flock.
We leave the eggs in the nest, which
is usually in some out of the way place,
until a considerable number have ac-
cumulated, then carefully remove the
most of them. If the bird is about
ready to set, she will immediately com-
mence laying again, when she notices
that her eggs have disappeared. Our
Rhode Island Red hens make ideal
mothers for the young guineas. It re-
quires from twenty-six to twenty—eight
days to incubate the eggs. When the
eggs have been under the hen about
one week, a few chicken eggs are ad-
ded. The chicks help to tame the
young guineas and teach them the
voice of their foster mother. The young
birds are handled much as are young
chicks. The main thing to be borne in
mind is to keep them in a warm tight
pen for a few days. At first they do
not seem to recognize the hen’s call,
but they soon learn it and then they
may be allowed to run free. Confine-
ment does not work well with guineas
at any stage of their growth and they
should have free range. The first few
weeks, however, it is best not to allow
them to get out in the wet grass of
early morning. June and July are the
months we do our hatching.

Feed the Same as Chicks.

Guineas will follow their foster
mother about even when they are fully
grown. As our birds live in the pens
with the hens during the winter, we
have often noticed that the adult guin-
eas always roost beside the hen that
mothered them if she is in the pen.
They will fight other hens but never
the mother. After trying for a few
days to “shake” her unwelcome flock
the hen usually settles down to the in-
evitable and pays no attention to her
unwelcome followers.

Any ordinariy chick feed is all right
for guineas. The first feed may well
be boiled egg, rolled cats or stale
bread. After that any finely cracked
grain will do. When they get out in
the open they will get most\of their
living from insects and grass seeds.
The old birds pick up a. large part of
their living, also. During the winter
they subsist on the rations provided
for the hens. If the firSt eggs that are
laid are immediately put under hens,

birds large enough for the market may
be had for the first of October.

 

PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS.

The farmers of this country lose
each year large sums because of im-
proper methods of producing and hand-
ling eggs. One-third at least of this
loss is easily preventable. It is due
to the partial hatching of fertile eggs.

'The eggs laid by a hen may be eith-
er fertile or infertile, depending on
whether or not the male bird has been
allowed to run with the female. A
fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of fertilization,
the male bird has no influence upon
the eggs which the hens lay. Egg pro-
duction is equally great in flocks from
which roosters are excluded.

A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the fertiliz-
ed germ responds more readily to high
temperatures than the unfertilized one.
It is impossible to hatch an infertile
egg or to cause a blood ring to form in
one. Such eggs are much more likely
to reach the table in good condition
and there is much less spoilage in
shipments composed entirely of them
than in mixed shipments of fertile and
infertile eggs.

After the hatching season, therefore,
the male birds should be cooked, sold
or confined. In approximately fourteen
days after this all the eggs laid by the
hens will be infertile. These can be
marketed much more successfully un-

der the adverse conditions that fre-
quently prevail in the hot summer
months.

Rules for Handling Eggs on the Farm.

Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers are
urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns. ,.

1. Keep the nests clean;
one nest for every four hens.

2. Gather the eggs twice daily.

3. Keep the eggs in a cool,
room or cellar.

4. Market the eggs at least twice a
week.

5. Sell, kill, or confine all the male
birds as soon as the hatching season
is over.

.WORMS lN FOWLS.

What can I give my hens and tur-
keys to rid them of the long white bow-
el worm? .They are not sick but keep
wiggling their tails and sometimes the
turkeys pass them a number at a time.
I lost most all my young turkeys last
year and now Lthink it might have
been on account of worms.

Genessce (‘0. A. G.

Intestinal Worms are very frequently
found in all kinds of poultry, but usu-
ally they are not numerous enough to
cause much trouble. Birds become in-
fected by picking at the parts which
have been expelled, and usually flocks
which have been confined to a certain
piece of ground for a considerable
length of time are in a worse condi-
tion than others, and one of the pre-
ventive measures it to move the flock
every two or three years to new
ground. -

The following treatment is a very
effective one: Mix in the feed a tea.-
spoonful of powdered pomegranate
root bark for every fifty birds. If only
a few birds are to be treated, it is well
to follow this medicine with a purga-
tive does of castor oil, about two tea.-
spoonfuls. This treatment is consider-

ed effective for both hens and turkeys.

Where birds are affected as your are
it is policy to remove the excrement
frm the coop daily and destroy any of
the worms expelled and the eggs by
saturating the droppings with a. ten
per cent solution of sulphuric acid.

BUILDING THE HOME BY co-opsa.
ATION.

 

l'a per read at Kent County Grange
by Mrs. Clayton Johnson, of Bowne
Grange.

it we are to make a success of our
occupation, we must co-operate. A
well regulated home needs co-opera
tion of both husband and wife. The
husband is handicapped if he has a
partner Whose aims and ambitions are
along other lines, rather than agri-
culture. Oftentimes encouragement
from the other half has shaped his
whole plan of success. Just so with
the home-builder. What are the re-
quirements of a good home? That, we
might say. depends on the mental
scope of the builders. How high, how
broad or how narrow the outlook on
life. Not in the sense of four walls
making the house, or a certain number
of acres constituting a farm, but the
soul quality that prevails in all.

The mere accumulationbf money
with that end in view would be so poor
an excuse for effort. as to make it a
total failure from the start. But for
ihe sake of a competence in old age.
for the 'power to do good, to help those
whom we are constantly wishing to
help, for the leisure it gives us is to
develop a higher degree of manhood or
womanhood. For all of these the ac-
(-umulation of at least a modest sum
is desirable. In this case the archi-
tects and builders are one—~yes, truly
and literally one. For we cannot con-
ceive of a true home building without
the perfect co-operation of both hus-
band and Wife. Right here lies the se-
cret of many failures in the home-mak-
ing venture. The incompatibility of
temperament, the seeing of things in
different lights, the lack of charity.
which makes a failure to provide the
necessary harmony so essential to a
united happy home.

in the first place, it is necessary for
each to be satisfied with what they can
pay for. The false system of credit,
buying on the installment plan, while
not as common in the country as in
the city has been the downfall of thou-
sands. The alluring advertisements in
every paper seem as so many mouse
traps for the young housewives. I
would say, as in the words of the old
song, sly, cunning mouse traps, you
shall not catch me. The young couple
who start out with this idea, as too
many of our young people do, seem to
think they must begin where their par-
ents left off, are quite apt. to strike a
rock and get shipwrecked. '

The woman who would succeed in
doing her part. in a co-operative spirit
in the home must have. a keen sense of
what is worth while. She must have
courage to banish many of the little
ills that time and custom have estab-
lished and thus make room for other
things of so much more value. It pays
to stop often and view from every
angle the monuments we are erecting.
In these days days of haste and rush
we may build heedlessly, thinking an
ornamental structure may be placed on
insecure foundation. This is an error
in judgment, for the right kind of a
life monument must be builded on hon-
or from the ground up.

The work that comes to our hand to
do is the work we should do well,
whether it be to rake a lawn or to
compound brain and muscle material
for others to use in their accomplish-
ments. The man or woman, whether
old or young, who will meet life and
it’s tasks in this brave spirit will build
a monument which will stand the
storms of time.

THE FARMERS’ CL'UB CAN HELP.

 

As announced in another column as
a first step toward food preparedness
in Michigan, thirty new county agents
have been appointed to serve in forty
counties in which farm bureaus have
not been previously organized. It would
be the duty of these new agents to aid 3
the food preparedness board in the dis- i
tribution of labor which may become.
available Wherever it may be needed l
in their several counties. They will
also perform a measure of the duties
now discharged by county agents in
organized counties. l

To make their work most effectivel
county agents must serve groups rath-.

er than individuals so far as possible.
The Farmers’ Club is a good unit fort

 

effective work by the county agent.i

Notify the newly appointed county
agent to your next Club meeting and
there make plans for the utilization of
his services by the Club and its mem—
bers and for co-operation with him in
such a manner as will serve to make
his work in the county most effective
in the way of increased contribution to
the nation’s food supply. Do not wait
for the county agent. to take the initia-
tive, but get in touch with him at once,
thereby helping both him and the Club
membership.

CLUB DISCLSSIONS.

 

Will Aid Boy and Girl Club Work.—
The East Nankin Farmers' Club met
in March at the home of Chris Jorgen-
sen. After an hour’s social time the
meeting was called to order by the
president, Henry Lathers. About thirty
members were present. After listen--
ing to several pieces of good music
and recitations by the young people,
the Club was introduced to Mr. Milton
Carmichael, editor of the Detroit Cour-
ier, who is a member of the Federation
Board of Wayne County, Michigan, and
whose business it is to organize boys’
and girls’ clubs in the county. Mr.
Carmichael explained that the federa-
tion board was composed of one mem-
ber of each Farmers’ Club and Grange
in the county, these meeting together
from time to time, in some central
place have certain duties to perform,
such as deciding who the county agent
will be, and also to confer with such
county agent in regard to the super-
vision of farm crops, the procuring of
farm seeds, etc. The speaker went on
to explain that a number of counties
were already organized on these lines,
and that the county agent would be
paid a salary of $2,400 per year. The
county agent’s duties are to look over
the farms in the county, make sugges-
tions, help in procuring good seed, also
to aid the farmers in organizations for
selling farm produce, also to meet with
and address farmers’ organizations.
The federation board is also to look
after boys’ and girls’ farm clubs. These
clubs are composed of boys and girls
from ten to seventeen years of age.

These boys and girls are each to
have an acre of land on which to plant,
cultivate and harvest certain crops un-
der the inspection of the county agent,
and according to certain rules there
will be prizes given to several of the
most successful. Mr. Carmichael hopes
to organize a boys’ and girls club in
this vicinity. After this interesting
address a question box was introduc-
ed. One of the questions asked was
about how many chickens should an
Several
members thought about one or two
was enough on account of the high
price of feed. Others thought from
one to two hundred. A question was
asked, “Should farmers in this vicinity
plant their own seed potatoes where
they have them, or should they send
off to seedsmen or to other states for
them?” It was thought by some that
we might as well plant our own seed
if we treat them with formaldehyde for
scab and other diseases. On account
of the lateness of the hour the other
questions were passed over without
discussion. As our Club was informed
by Mr. Carmichael that we were en-
titled to a delegate to the federation
board we proceeded to elect such dele-
gate. It was moved and carried that
Joseph McGarvey be our delegate to
such board. After partaking of refresh-
ments consisting of sandwiches, cake,
ice cream and coffee, the Club adjourn-

.SILAGE lNCREASED PROFIT ON
CATTLE.

(Continued from page 543).
hay, instead of silage and straw, be-
fore they were turned to grass. From
May 1 to October 1, they were pastur-
ed. During the four months following
October 1 the cattle were fed 800 bush-
els of corn, ten tons of ‘mixed hay and
three tons of cottonseed meal. on
February 5, 1916, they averaged 1149
pounds a head and were valued at $8
a hundred. The sale price was $221.16
less than the cost of the cattle and the
value of the feed they consumed. How-
ever, $307.50 worth of pork, was made
behind these cattle, and, consequently
they returned a profit of $86.54.

Mr. Cunningham’s profits thus far
had not been encouraging- However,
the grazing operations as a whole prov-
ed profitable. Realizing that he must
continue in the cattle business to find
a. market for his roughage and grass,
he began to seek a means of finishing
his cattle at less cost. The next lot
of cattle was bought in February, 1916,
at $7.25 a hundred and averaged 638
pounds at home. From February 6 to
May 1 they were fed twenty-five tons
of silage, four tons of clover hay and
one ton of cottonseed meal, after
which they were grazed until October
1. The feed from October 1 to Decem-
ber 19 included no corn except that in
the silage. During this period the cat-
tle consumed seven tons of 010ver hay,
three and a. half tons of cottonseed
meal and thirty-six tons of silage.
They were valued at $8.50 a hundred
December 19, when they were sold for
$2,108.95. This, minus $1,587.15, the
original cost, including feed, left a.
profit of $521.80. No hogs followed the
cattle. The feeding plan in 1916 not
only proved more profitable on high—
priced feed than in 1915, but made a
larger gain on less feed.

According to S. '1‘. Simpson, of the
Missouri College of Agriculture, Mr.
Cunningham’s 1916 feeding plan is
similar to that of many other feeders.
The use of silage and the reduction of
the corn ration is the latest departure
in beef making. \Vhile Mr. Cunning-
ham’s experience in itself is not con-
clusive, yet feeders and experiment
stations are finding similar plans
equally profitable and it is safe to as—
sume that the principle is sound.

FEEDERS’ PROBLEMS.

Spring Pasture for Hogs.

Will you please give me a little ad-
vice on pasture for pigs? I haven’t
got any pasture prepared forsummer
and would like to know what I could
sow to make the best early pasture. I
see a piece in the Michigan Farmer
that I take, that rape and oats make
good pasture.

Leelanau Co. S. M.

Probably a combination of peas, oats
and rape would make as good an early
hog pasture as anything which could
be sowu in the spring. This combina-
tion should be sown as early in the
spring as possible, using say a bushel
each of oats and peas, and about five
pounds of rape seed per acre. Dwarf
Essex rape seed should be used, as
this variety is much more valuable as-
forage than other sorts.

Cottonseed Meal for Hogs.

Is cottonseed meal a good feed for
hogs and young pigs, and if so with
what other grain should it be fed for
best results?

Kalamazoo Co. E. L. B.

Cottonseed meal is not a safe feed
for hogs, being fatally poisonous to
them when fed in considerable quan—
tities. It should not be fed either alone
or in combination with other feeds to
young pigs. Tankage is perhaps the
best protein bearing concentrate‘ for
pigs, but oil meal can be used in small
quantities to - advantage. Perhaps
wheat middlings constitute the best
balanced grain feed for young pigs.
Corn meal and skim-milk canalso be
combined to form an excellent ration
in combination with other feeds. v

Spralned Tendons.——-1 have a horse
that was lame a year ago, caused by
spraining back tendons. I applied a.
liniment and he recovered, remaining
well all fall and winter. However, a
week ago he went lame again an
shows soreness in the tendons of both
tore legs. What treatment do you ad-
vise? F. E. I... Decatur, Mich—Clip
hair off and apply one part powdered
cantharides and four parts lard every
two weeks, until he recovers.

Pica.——I would like to know what to
feed cattle or what they lack in feed
that makes them eat wood. I have
been feeding silage, bean straw and
hay. J. H. W ., Kinde, Mich.——’l‘he caus-
es of. pica are not known; however, it
is usually due to feeding spelled for-
age or not supplying cattle with a bal-
anced ration. Keeping the cattle out
of doors on dry land, and preventing
their eating food which is spoiled W111
usually prevent this ailment. The cat-
tle should be kept in a dry, clean, and
well ventilated stable, or else out of
doors. Feed a good quality of mined
grain, clover, alfalfa or roots. Give
1 dr. of ground nux vomica, a table-
spoontul of ground bone, a. teaspoonful
of alr-slaked lime and 1 oz. of ground
gentian at a dose in feed three times a
day. Very often a change of feed and
plenty of fresh air' will correct the
ailment without giving medicine.

Nervous Heifer.——l have a milking
heifer that freshened last October, was
dehorned before being bred, is half
Jersey and half Guernsey; but she is
very nervousfi restless, rather than ex-
citable. She tests well above five per
cent. I thought in my quiet herd that
she would settle down to business, but
so far she pays little profit. Seems to
be in a good healthy condition and
coat is bright. There is nothing to
disturb her that I know of. She is
very gentle and does not hold up milk.
Have tried lessening grain ration until
her flow dropped. She has the same
care and feed as the balance of herd,
which are all doing as well as I could
expect. It is doubtful whether she
could be fattened even if dry. 11. W.
EL, Holland, Mich.——She should be
spayed, then fatted and sold, as I do
.not believe she will prove profitable
for dairy purposes.

Goitre.—I have a calf that came on
March 9, that has a hard growth near
windpipe which seems to be movable
up and down, but does not affect the
caif’s breathing. This is a nice heifer
calf which I would like to keep for
breeding purposes. Do you think an
animal of this kind should be kept for
that purpose? G. W., Gagetown, Mich.
—-I do not believe this a hereditary ail-
ment. Clip hair off and apply one part
red iodide mercury and eight parts of
lard twice a week. Give calf 10 grs.
of potassium iodide at a dose twice a
day. '

Dehorned Gown—About two months
ago I had a cow dehorned, since then
she has not done well. She has lost
flesh, given less milk and when she
breathes makes a noise, but has no
discharge from nose. M. K., Dorr,
Mich.~—<Doubtless the wound on head
became infected, or else the bone was
perhaps shattered and is now diseas-
ed. The diseased portion of bone
should be curretted off then apply
equal parts of powdered alum, tannic
acid and boric acid, covering stump
with oakum and a bandage. Give her
a tablespooni‘ul of cooking soda and
two tablespoont’uls of ground gentian
at a dose in feed three times a day.
When dehorning is done in the winter
season, the stump should be protected
from dust. and cold air. Perhaps I
should say that dehorning should not
be done when the weather is very cold
or very hot.

Abortion—1 have a valuable Jersey
cow that gets with calf, but aborts two
or three months later. W. A., Mill-
brook, Mich.—-You had better discon-
tinue using her for breeding purposes.
There is perhaps a dilated condition of
the neck of womb which makes it im—
possible for her to carry calf full pe-
riod. If she suffered from contagious
abortion, she should not abort so early
the second year.

Warbles.———My cows have grub. in
.their backs. .I believe you call them
ox warbles, but I have forgotten the
treatment for them. E. H. B., Ypsi-
lanti, Mich—Sharpen a pen knife, boil
the blade in water for ten minutes,
then open bunches, squeeze out grubs,
kill them and apply tincture iodine, or
one part coal tar disinfectant and 30
parts water, occasionally and they will
