ARMING and live stock raising are

very closely associated in the Unit-

. ed Kingdom. .

. conditions and the innate conservatism





of British character are largely respon- .-

sible for this Condition. The British





farmer, hoWever, unlike his neighbors

in «Holland and Denmark, has usually

been an individualist. Cooperative ef-

-fort has had very little support, but it

is now a matter of serious discussion

among leaders in agricultural affairs.



Beef and mutton are produced in

normal times on pastures in summer

and bymstraw and roots in winter. Oil

cakes form the chief supplements to

the ration. Since the war the supply

of oil cakes has declined so that meat

production has suffered somewhat.



\ Dairying in England is unique. The

dairy cow of England, and to a con-

siderable extent of Scotland also, is a

Shorthorn, bred to furnish abundant

milk en the rich pastures and to drop

a calf which can be fattened for been:

Guernseys and Jerseys have never

made much headway commercially,

but Holsteins are just now., having

quite a run in popular favor, the de-

scendants of an importation made from

Holland just before the war selling at

very good prices.



The British farmer will continue to

require large quantities of high protein

cakes"and will be in the market for

them. The. British [Consuming public

The coming of peace will probably

cause considerable demand for Amer-

ican horses, both for farm and city

use, but this will be offset to some ex-

tent by -the release of transport horses

from the British army. It is an inter-

esting fact to American "farmers that

United States has beenextremely sat-





isfactory, especially for transport and





artillery purposes. It is believed that

these horses have proved to be more

hardy, more active and more courage-

‘ ous than the grades of other draft

breeds. This fact is largelyresponsi-

ble for the growing interest in Perch-

eron horses in England. Already some

purchases have been "made in France,

and Percheron horses are found here

and there throughout England." Just

before the Commission left. Great Brit-

ain a shipment cf‘twenty-six‘ mares and

are now in Norwich..~A British Perch-

eron Society has been organized, and

I am confidentially informed that they

propose to send a commission to the

United States in 1919 to make pur-

chases of Percherons in. the United

States for English breeders. The de-

mand for commercial horses will prob-

ably devemp as soon as it is known

as shipping conditions become more

normal, and as soon as feed supplies

are available in Europe. In other

words, we may look for this trade to

manifest itself about July 1, 1919.



On account of the sharp reduction

in» stocks of chickens there may be

trade with American breeders. It may

also be possible to arrange for the im-

portation of pure-bred Holstein cattle

from America, but it will not be easy.

to bring about on account of the long-

standing objection to the importation

of live cattle.



With the foregoing possibleexcep-

tions, no restocking of British farms

with live stock will be necessary, ex-





‘cept perhaps in the case of pigs, Which





British breeders will be able to take

care of without assistance.



On the whole, British breeders will

be competitors with American breed-

ers in the world’s markets for pure-

bred live» stock. They are already

looking forward to the demand from

continental Europe for animals to re-

stock the devastated areas and to re-

plenish herds elsewhere which have

been depleted on account of theneces

sities of war. ‘ I . '



Live Stock in France.



’ The French farmer grows live stock

for certain very definite and practical

purposes, the most primary motive be-

ing the money he can make out\ of

them—either_directly in sales 0r indi-

reCtly through the maintenance and

The breeds

of .live stock found in Frafice are un-

questidnably useful and practical and

on‘ their native pastures they not only





,fit in admirably with farm practice,





but they are extremely attractive as

well. Few more‘beautiful sights can

be offered the traveler interested in





live stock subjects than a group of,





Normandy cattle in a river-bound pas-

ture, with a, few choice Percheron

colts grazing with them, or several

teams of four or six white Charolais

oxen in each, plowing in a field at

sunset. However, one does not get

the impression of personal attachment

between the man and his animal which





f how many will be available by demobi-i is so strongly evident in the case of





 





the British farmer.





The French peas-





ant’s' great passion is the land, and

four-fifths of them own the land they

operate. Although there are many dis-

tinct-breeds of live stock in France,

whiCh, are bred to a. type in rather

well-defined areas, we do not find the

extraordinary development of syste-

matic breeding with elaborate pedi-

gree records which is such a feature

of animal breeding in Great Britain

and also in the United States.



Highly specialized dairy breeds do

not seem to be common in France.

Even the red Flemish cattle of the

northeast are praised for their'meat

as well as for' their milk. Cows appar-

ently must be capable of fattening

when closed out of the dairy and a

calf notwanted for breeding must go

to the block as veal or into the fields

for work.





Except for Percheron horses, the





pure-bred live stock business is a rela-





tively unimportant feature of French

farming and has not figured extensive-

ly in the foreign trade.



Poultry are scarce in France and

very high~priced. 7 Of all classes of

poultry on the markets, geese seemed

cheapest. Chickens sell in Paris at

about $1.00 per pound; geese at sixty

to seventy cents per pound. Flocks of

poultry are seen around the barnyards

but rarely in fields. Colony houses on

range are Seldom seen. High prices

and strong demand have combined to

bring about what appears to be a con-

'siderable decline in the number of

poultry. -



How the United States Can Assist the

French Farmer.



The greatest problem of the French

farmer for the immediate future is to

prevent the slaughter of the large sup-

plies of young cattle which are now on

hand. _ Not only does the meat and

milk production for the next two years

depend to a great extent on the suc-

cessful solution of this problem, but an

even larger problem, the restoration of

the cattle industry in the devastated

areas, is linked up with it. Some au-





thorities believe that ifthe slaughter

of young cattle can be prevented, that,





France will have in ten years more

cattle than ever before. An ample sup-





- do not like refrigerated beef.

usually eat meat quite fresh, often





ply of chilled or frozen beef will prob-

ably prevent this slaughter. Reference

is- made above to the expected short-

age of beef during the winter-and

spring of.1918-19.a If this shortage can

be made up by im’portations from Am-

erica, the solution of the problem may

be found. There is a possibility of

failure in the fact that French people

They





with some of the animal heat still re-

maining in it at'the time of cooking.

Experimental shipments at reasonable

prices should soon establish whether

this measure of relief could be made

a success.



Feed supplies are low in France and





importations in large quantity will be ‘





urgently needed during next winter

and spring. It has been pointed out

by another member of the Commission

that France has been deprived of con-

siderable quantities of cottonseed and

other oil cakes which were formerly

manufactured at Mediterranean ports,

but which have not been available dur-

ing recent years of the war.





In regard to live stock, the needs of

France after the war are best indicat-

ed by the losses which she has sus-

tained, particularly in the devastatedr

area. Roughly, there has been a loss

of nine hundred thousand cattle and

eight hundred thousand sheep in the

departments which have been invaded.

Officials of the government estimate

that of these numbers four hundred

thousand were dairy cows and four

hundred thousand were breeding ewes.

What losses there were in pigs no offi-

cial figures indicate. The loss in horses

is represented mainly by the numbers

which went into the army and were

lost in warfare. An estimate that

there are thirty per cent less horses

on French farms today than before

the war is probably not far wrong.



Authorities differ as to the relative.

importance in which animal recon-

struction should be taken up. Some

place dairy cows first, others horses;

some believe that the stocks now on

hand will enable the reconstruction

work to be carried on without supplies

from elsewhere; others believe that

tractors will fill the need caused by

the shortage of horses.

sheep are badly needed.





So far as dairy cattle are concerned,-





the government has already in contem-

plation making an experimental ship-

meat from the United States, as has

been already reported by cable and

letter. It is proposed to buy one hun-

dred cows and place ten in each one

of the ten departments which have

been invaded. Wherever Holsteins





have been tried in France they are-

CURRENT COMMENT





NE of the import-

ant developments



of the Farmers’ Week

activities at the Mich-

igan Agricultural $01-

iege was the organizar

tion of a. State Farm Bureau Which

was effected by representatives of the

County Farm Bureaus throughout the

state. The possibilities for good of

such an organization are great. .Such

an organization can accomplish a large

degree of the work for which a State

Chamber of Agriculture has been re-

peatedly advocated in these columns.

An organisation of this kind could

also assume direction- of county farm

bureau projects to the undoubted ad-

vantage of this work. In the many

counties where County Farm Bureaus

have been established. leading farmers

have been associated with the Bureau

during the promotion days in order to

put the plan across in the county, after

which they have had little to do with

the direction of the work or the Selec-

tion of projects for development. This

«direction has come too largely from

Lansing or Washington, as the case

may be, to popularize the work with

the rank and file of farmers. There is

little doubt that if the farmers them-

selves would take the initiative in the

selection of these projects, the result

would be more uniformly satisfactory.

. But the greatest opportunity of the

I-Etate Farm Bureau and the National

Farm Bureau, which it is proposed to

organize, lies outside the ordinary

scope «of farm bureau work as it has

been conducted. Such an organization

might be made a needed avenue of ex-

pression for the farmers of the com-

try during the trying. reconstruction

period. With the machinery at its

command it might make a comprehen-

sive study of production costs and oth-

er economic phases of agriculture. It

might. be made the medium through

“which a wide range of agriuulturel in—

formation could be disseminated, per-

Its wise solution is absolutely essen-

tial to the future welfare and prosper-

ity of the country and its industries.

Transportation facilities and rates af-

fect every businessmevery producer

and every consumer—win a most vital

manner. Adequate transportation to»

cilities at reasonable rates are as vital

to the future prosperity of agriculture

as to that of any other business, and

more vital than to many, if not most

other industries, since its products are

bulky and its best market in many

cases at distant points. On this ac.

count, agricultural opinion regarding

the best solution of this great recon-

struction problem should be developed

and crystallized in such manner as to

be intelligently effective in helping to

bring about a solution of this problem

which will be constructive from the

standpoint of the future welfare of Am-

erican agriculture and fair to the peo-

ple at large.



The railroads were taken over by

the government as a war measure at

a time when transportation facilities

were overtaxed to the breaking point

and unified operation seemed the only

solution under the stress of war needs.

Increased operating expenses were fol-

lowed by large increases in both the

freight and passenger rates and, not.

withstanding the savings efiected

through economies in unified operation

a deficit of something like threeouar-

tors of a billion dollars piled up dur-

ing the year. Further increases in

freight rates and further economies of

operation are now proposed to place

the roads more nearly on a self-sup-

porting basis under government opera-

tion with guaranteed returns to bond

and stock holders. Among the propos-

ed economies is a plan now said to be

under consideration to make, deliveries

of freight to small country stations

twice a. week instead of every other

day, as is the general rule at present.

Both of these propositions will be «det-

rimental to the interests of agricul-

ture if made effective. They will serve

to illustrate the importance of the rail-

road problem to farmers and the need

for constructive agricultural thought

on the general railroad problem.



"This need is .‘further emphasised by

the fact that there is far. from a gen-

eral unanimity of opinion among our

public otheiais as to the best solution

of this yexed question.‘ In his message

to congress, President Wilson confess-

ed that he had no solution to color, but

Some of our leading- termers’ «agent-za-

some in favor of government owner-

ECENTLY the Michigan State



ValneJI‘ax Magus circulated pe-



titions for an amendment to the

state constitution whereby all personal

property and “improvements in and

upon land” were to have been exempt-

ed from taxation. Land, on the other

hand, so the petitions reads, was to

submit to “assessing at its cash val-

ue.” We are at a loss to know why

the farmer who is among the chief

land owners of the state should be

“hit” in this way. Personal property

we learn from the 1917 report of the

’State Tax Commission pays roundly

$15,000,000 per year of taxes and no

one can doubt that land must bemore

{heavily taxed if an this personal prop-

erty tax is lost. Unfortunately the

contributions of taxes made by “im—

provements in and upon land” cannot

be given, since in Michigan these are

assessed with land.



The section of the constitution which

the. petitioners wish to amend now

reads as follows: “All assessments

hereafter authorized shall be upon

property at its cash value.” These

words have been in the organic law of

the state from the beginning and their

sweeping defense in the farmus “equal

taxation" fight of Governor Pingree is

a matter of easy memory. Although

the basis of this great contest was not

real estate vs. personal property as is

the case in the pending amendment

but, instead, was general property vs.

railroads, nevertheless the principle of

equal taxation, namely, cash value for

at all is due to the fact that they

furnish cash support to governments.

Taxes would hardly be endured except

for the fact that governments are

thereby supplied with funds. Govern-

ments are impossible without taxes.

Here, however, is a proposed scheme

of taxes which no government has ask-

ed for and since it cuts off a much

used source of revenue, no government

desires. To the already worried and

hard-up treasury officials in our differ-

ent governments, always needing new

sources of taxation there must be in





the action of this League, an especial





irony to the old maxim, “Beware of

the Greeks when they come with pres-

ents in their hands.”



Taxing schemes which are not advo-

cated by any government nor are not

planned primarily with the needs of

any government in view have usually





somg social or moral reform purpose

which they wish to promote. This is

probably the case with the proposed

amendment. Through exempting per-

sonal property and as a result burden-

‘ing land with the expenses of govern-

ment the new plan is apparently that

of the "single taxers,” or as they were

called in former years, the followers

of Hemy George. I



It is not altogether clear that tax

laws should be made in this way “dual

purpose" laws. They were enacted to

supply governments with money sup-

port and social reform is using them

for a different p111 pose Nevertheless,

we have used in the past tariff taxes

In many years that everyone knows

Wm they stand for so that only a

word of description is needed here.

The social reform which the “single

tax” advocates have in mind and to

gain which they would use the taxing

machinery of the state is that in b; ief

of securing a better division of wealth

between land owners and non- dand-

owners. “Single taxers" there have

been in all ages and many teachings

have appeared upon the subject. Usu-

ally these disciples have some to be-

lieve somehow or another that a single

object of taxation-means the name

tax—can be picked out upon

which all the present and future ex-

penses of the government can be plac-

ed. Then, by some natural law of

trade 1e1ations,tbis chosen obiect of

taxation will shitt its burden to- other





objects until the entire burden will be,





justly distributed. The champions of

the constitutional amendment do not

go as far as this. -The reform which

they have in view is simply to get for

The southern states are making

great bids for the cattleman and sheep

man to come to the sunny south where





western ranges are overcrowded and





younger men want to embark in the

lines of their fathers, but with range

now limited. The movies'have been

well supplied with southern scenes

which presents the opportunities of

that section most alluringly. Great

herds of-‘sle‘ek black cattle feeding in

Alabama, cared for by negro help, is a

change from the arid range and- pic-

turesque cowboys. The southern land

man is in evidence with the distinct

musical intonation so delightful and

pleasing when he tells of the “con,”

velvet bean, cottonseed and peanut

meal for finishing and “nea-ness” to

ma ’.ket”



All the growing qualities of the bean

stalk so dear to our childhood days in

the story of “Jack the Giant Killer,”

seems to be inherent in the velvet

bean, which we are assured will grow

seventy-five feet of vine in a single

season.



The southern man is-not so gorgeous





‘in hats, but still clings to his peculiar





type of a broad brim black lid and a

flowing tie. The west and south seem





to affiliate and have a mutual under-

standing somewhat to the exclusion cf

consideration of the cut-over lands of

the great lakes states. ‘ ‘

Last year wasedistinctly the time of

the sheep man, but this year the cat-

tleman is in the ascendancy. Breed-





ing ewes have dropped in some places





as {much as $10 per head. The west

seems full of stock cattle and all in

splendid condition; notwithstanding

there has been a great flow of stock

toward the markets and some tenden-

cy towards liquidation because of high

prices.



All in all, one can see and hear

more of the great meat producing sec-

tion at the Denver meeting than any

other place in the United States. Chi-

cago has the other end at the Interna-

tional where the finish is, but the real

throbbing live interest in the growing

end, together with the human interest

of the cattleman from the range, is

the week at Denver.



Danger of Over-Production.



In his address, President I. T. Pryor

said:



“If it bethe policy of this nation to

foster artificially and to promote an

increased export trade in our manu-





factured articles, in exchange for larg-





er imports of raw-materials and food





   





I and meat products _,

available, it is now time for these en-Cl





 





 

 





from wherever





gaged in the live stock and agricul—

tural industries to consider how they

will be affected,” said Mr. Pryor. “Shall.

we plan our business on' the basis of

a continuance of large exports of-meat

and other food products, or on the the- .

cry of a speedy decline in both volume .

and value of such exports, and the pos- -

sibility of increased importation, in-

stead of exportation, of some classes

of meat-food products?



“You may remember that in 1914——

the year following the passage of the

Underwood Free List Bill, placing live

stock, meats and wool on the free list

——this country imported about thirty-

six million dollars’ worth of meat pro-

ducts-~mostly beef from Argentina.

This exceeded the value of our exports

of beef products for that year. Had it

not been for the war, the imports of

beef into this country from Argentina

and other South American countries

might have materially increased. The

situation of 1914 may return.



Government Figures Disagree.



“During 1918 our exports of meat

food products of all kinds were the

largest on record by a Wide margin.

Recently the Food Administration has

estimated that the foreign require-

ments of such products for 1919 will

greatly exceed those of 1918. Reports

as to live stock conditions in England

and on the continent are conflicting.

WhenYour

land Needs





Lime ?





RACTICALLY 95% of Michigan

land needs lime to counter-act the

acid condition of the soil. '





Do you know about your land?



Do you know if it needs lime?



It is important that you do—for acid

soil will never produce full yields.





Here Are Three Tests:





Firs t, and perhaps the most satisfactory

way of answering the question, is to ask

your County Agricultural Agent. .' oHe is

familiar With the conditions applying in

the case of your soil. He will gladly tell

you how to test it for acid re-action. He

is a state and county employee. You can

depend upon his advice.



Secondly, write us for an envelope of

litmus paper. Full instructions and an

analysis of the results will be given you.



Thirdly, the big practical test is to

know whether or not your land will grow

clover. Clover as you know, is an essen—

tial part of every farm crop rotation. If

your land will grow good crops of clover,

it is not acid. If it will not, it needs lime.





Farm Owners Will Tell You

great maiority of farmers in your state. Your

neighbors probably use it. This in itself is about

the most dependable endorsement you can get.

is the sort of limestone that you can depend upon

HREE thousand farmers—most

' of them the agricultural ”live

'~ wires” of the state, and all of





.them of the‘ capable class who run





their own farms—were guests of the

Michigan Agricultural College for five

days last week. It was Farmers’ and

Housewives' Week at the state college

——and incidentally the most largely at-

tended of any ever conducted by the

East Lansing institution. The college

had intended? playing the host and tak-'

ing the visitors unto its bosom, but as

it happened the agriculturists of the

state took the college unto themselves,

filling class-rooms and hallWays and

buildings with a tide of humanity that

virtually swamped all accommodations

of the school. . ‘

A consequence of the over-crowding,

accordingly, was the lifting of voices

in a chorus of protests and appeals to

the state legislature for an appropria-

tion sufficient to provide the college

with a building that will enable it in

the future to furnish the farm associa-

tions of the state with a meeting place

ample for theipneeds. Many of the

associations embodied formal appeals

to the legislature in their resolutions.

Still, while the over-crowding occa-

sioned some discomfort and inconven-

ience, the large attendance made the

many meetings the most successful

that have been held in the state in

years-and if the farmers of the state

have heretofore been talked to more

than they have talked, most of them

made up for it before the week’s ses-

sions were over. The various conven-

tions and congresses went on record

for two things—first, a more progres-

sive agriculture in Michigan, and sec-





’ and, a more aggressive agriculture.





Members of the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Association took up the

cause of the'farmers of the state in the

matter of wheat prices, and took steps

to bring to the notice of congressmen

and senators the fact that the wheat

'growers of Michigan expect the prom-

ised war‘price to be maintained. Del-





of the state organized the Michigan





bureaus have become united in a com

standing achievement' of the week.

A‘ Great Week *atM. Ac, ,





all of the 'many associations met to-

which affairs of world interest, as well

as of agricultural, were discussed by

able men and women.‘ One of these

was Jane Addams, of Hull House, .Chi-

cago. Miss Addams made an appeal





for the creation of a league of nations.





“We must insist that such a league

be formed,” she declared. “Otherwise

the blood of our boys shed upon the





battle fields of Europe will have gone ‘





for naught, ,A league of nations, while





'it will not make war impossible, will





at least- make it be so difficult to bring

about as almost to be impossible. We

got together for war. There is no rea-

son why we can not continue to func-

tion together with equal success for

peace.” “

The sessions closed Friday with

practically unanimous endorsement by

the assembled farmers of the state

college and ‘its work. This endorse-

ment, in the case of the .Michigan Im-

proved Live Stock Breedefs’ and Feed-

ers’ Association and the Michigan Crop

Improvement Association, took the

form of a resolution asking the state

legislature to support the agricultural

One of the most satisfied groups of

men who participated in the week’s

meetings, were members of the Michi-

gan Potato Growers’ Association. The

convention of this body of producers

in 1918, when certain evils of the po-

tato grading system were given a thor-

ough airing, was found at last week's

session to have been fruitful during

the year. It was reported from prac-





tically every section of the State that





dealers have corrected their screens,

and that further, great strides had

been takenjpin the direction of cooper-

ative marketing, Much credit was ac-

corded growers’ organizations for se-

curing more favorable prices than

would have been? possible withgut

their assistance. ' ‘



‘The same officers were elected as

served last year. These were: Pres-

ident, Arthur M. Smith, Lake City;

vice-president, M. B. McPherson, Low-

ell; treasurer, Dorr D. Buell, Elmira;

secretary, Lawrence A. Siple, Green~

to farmers by reason of the petition

of every grain grower present that the

government should hold absolutely to

the price promised when farmers were

"~ ance in the agricultural.

East Lansing of the Michigan Farm

Bureau, a new force made its appear-

affairs of

Michigan which observers of events in

the world of farming expect will be-

come one of the most powerful influ-

ences within the. state in supperting

and furthering the cause of tillers of"

the soil. While the Farmers’ Week

meetings were in progress at M. A. C.,

delegates from farm bureaus in sixty





' counties met and formed the new asso-





ciation, which its Sponsors count upon

to do for Michigan as a. whole, what

the smaller bureaus are accomplishing.

In the course

of two days of stirring meetings the

delegates laid the foundation and erect-

ed the framework for a state bureau

binding the individual county farm bu-

reaus into one for the furtherance of

their common interests.



The individuals assisting at the birth

of the lusty youngster, who almost ov-

ernight promises to assume a position

of leadership—were two hundred of

Michigan’s most esteemed farmers,

(such men as Roland Morr‘ill, of Ben-

ton Harbor; F. H. Vandenboom, of

Marquette; Fred Cornair, of Saginaw,

and L. Whitney Watkins, of Man-

chester).



The aim of the new organization, as

set forth in its constitution, “shall be

to encourage, aid and correlate the

efforts of the county farm bureaus and

to provide ways and means for con-

certed action in the solution of agri-

cultural problems of state and national

scope.”



There was some misunderstanding

of the real objects and motives of the

proposed organization when the meet-

ing opened, but this was quickly dis-

pelled by Dr. Eben Mumford, of Mich-

igan Agricultural College.



“This is not intended to be a college

association in any sense,” said Doctor

Mumford. “What we desire to assist

in bringing about is the formation of

an organization by farmers themselves

for the interests of farmers, that will

do for the state as a whole, what the

county farm bureaus do for the indi-

vidual counties.”



Following the adoption of a constitu-

tion, Roland Morrill, of Benton Harbor,

was elected president of the new Mich-

igan Farm Bureau.



“We farmers are beginning to learn,’

declared President Morrill, “that in or-

der to gain a hearing with the govern-

ment and with the people we must

farmer. Of recent years we have seen

the development by the federal depart-

ment of agriculture and by the Mich-

,igan Agricultural College, of an exten-

doing much important wo1k for the im-

provement of farming. If we wish to

ers we can well afford to emulate.

There are scores of difierent varieties

of labor unions—plumbers. carpenters,

——all independent. But are they com-

petitors? Not at all. All are united in

the American Federation of Labor for

the furtherance of their mutual inter-

ests. That is what we must. have

among farmers of Michigan, and that

is the goal we propose to strive to-

wards. '



“We have a vast number of prob-

lems that are common to all of us. _We_

desire better marketing arrangements;

there are intercounty drainage prob-

lems to be solved; the extinction of

scrub sires is something we must work

towards, and if wewill put our shoul-

ders to the wheel and act in concert

we can win results.



“We hope to make this state farm

bureau do for Michigan what the coun-

ty bureaus are doing for the various

counties, only more so.”



The state body has been divided into

a number of departments for the car-

rying out of its program. One depart‘

ment will endeavor to bring about

some kind of common agreement be-

tween such bodies as the Gleaners,

Grange and Farmers’ Clubs, and such

special bodies as the Milk Producers’

Association, the Potato Growers’ As-

sociation, etc., on matters of common

interest to 311., A second department

will look up soils question in the state;

another matters relating to farm

crops; 3, third fruits and vegetables; a.

fourth live stock and poultry; a fifth

dairying; another, questions of buying

and selling; still another matters of

farm management; and eighth, boys’

and girls’ club work; a tenth, prob-

lems of the farm home; an eleventh,

legislative matters, and the twelfth,

publicity.



A prominent farmer has been elect-

ed to head each of the departments in

the new association (all without com-

pensation of any kind), and each of

these will choose two associates to

work with him. These will constitute

an executive committee, and this will

make the recommendation of the

things it believes will be best for the

agricultural interests of Michigan.



Every member of a farm bureau in

the statemwhich means every farmer

in the state—is eligible to membership

in the new body, without the payment

of other dues than those paid tovthe‘

county farm bureaus. The whole or-

ganization has been created on 'a strict-

ly business basis.

IONSERVATION is the watch-word

a certain farm in Berrien county. A

description of one or two little “sav-

ing” devices which have been in satis-

factory use for the past five years may

be of some assistance to thosevw o are

now, more than ever, feeling the need

of getting more service out of their

farm machinery. r



‘In the center of the engine house‘on

this particular farm is the gasoline en-

gine,- to the left; the air-compressor

tank and the dynamo, the corn-sheller

and feed‘ grinder on the right. At the

extreme left is the [well-pit. On the

opposite side of the room are“ the stor-

age batteries and a work-bench.





The five horse-power enginejs run». ‘

for half an hour night and morning. .1‘

It is capable or filling the air-compres-





sor, running the dynamo, which charg-

esrthe batteries for a thirty-five-light





electric plant, and. shelling and grind-c

ing corn all at the same time. The air- “





compressor furnishes the motive pow-

er for an air-pump in the six-inch well,

supplying fresh water, direct from the

well, for all parts of the farm, includ-

ing three residences. In this system

there are four fully equipped bath-

rooms, three kitchen sinks, two laun-

dry tubs, and various out-door faucets

for lawn-sprinkling. Four residences,

the barn, engine room and henhouse

The owner’s

house is installed with electric iron

and washing machine. The motor for

the latter also runs the churn.





The well, which is over ninety feet

deep, overflows during the greater part

of the year. And at all times, the

exhaust from the air-pump throws a

small stream of’ water into the pit.

This surplus water is piped to the hen-

house, where it flows through a ce-

ment trough. This trough is built

along the front of the house, just be

neath the windows, and is of proper

height to make it easily accessible for

the hens. It runs the entire length of

the [fifty-six-foot house and is connect-

ed at the farther end with a pipe which

carries the water off beyond the yards.

A stiff brush is used to clean the

trough, making it possible for the hens

to have plenty of fresh water at all

times without any trouble to the poul-

try-keeper.



A galvanized tankis set, in front of

the engine. This was a hot-water tank,

discarded "because of a small, leak.

During the winter the tank is connect-

ed with the engine in “such a manner

that the exhaust enters it below, leaves





leading along the ceiling, down the

wall and thence through the. wall to

the rim of the horsetrough outside.

There the pipe is connected with a rec-





the floor of the trough. An elbow over

the rim permits the exhaust to escape





by the exhaust and radiated from the

tank to raise the temperature of the

room to a degree which prevents the

storage batteries , _from_ freezing, and

Most of the hundreds of dealers who will

us for a long time.~ They know the kind of

cars we build. ,





Under those circumstances they were not

as skeptical as they might otherwise have

been about a car of which no details were

doubt was removed as soon as they had

ridden in it.

costly cars. The owner need never apologize





for either its appearance or performance.

Squeaks do not develop, as in other cars of

its type, because an unusually heavy frame

assures absolute rigidity. Body bolts cannot

work loose. The finish will long retain its

freshness.





Ride In The Essex Over

Rough Roads





Every dealer is demonstrating the Esseii

over the roughest pavements in his locality.

It reveals a new distinctive motor car qual—

ity. You might easily think you are in a

long wheelbase car weighing two or more

tons. This feature alone will appeal to you





. with more than ordinary interest.





The Essex motor deserves your special

attention. Note how it is arranged to gel:

the maximum power from every drop

of gasoline. See how stable it

is and why it is free from the

need of tinkering and atteno

tion. The Essex has stability.

It has quality as well as light-

ness: endurance and comfort

as well as a low first cost. These

things will be apparent when

you‘see and ride in the Essex.

about a motor car’s mechanism. It is to make



the “works” of the watch an “ open book”

that these Waltham advertisements are de‘

signed— to instruct and protect you in buying

a watch.





The mainspring is the power .of a watch. It is a piece of





t





long, coiled in a barrel between the upper and lower plates

of the movement.





It is subjected to varying conditions of service in temper-

ature and tension. The variation in thickness of two one- 1

thousandths of an inch, or lack of uniformity in hardenind

and tempering, will decide the time—keeping quality

your watch.





The Waltham Watch Company produces fourteen tons

of mainsprings every year. it is the largest mainspring

maker in the world. The Waltham mainspring is cut from

long rolls of steel of uniform and special quality, then

tem ered in resilient form by a secret process, and is placed

in t e watch coiled into a hardened and tempered steel

barrel. This is exclusively a Waltharn practice.





The foreign mainspring is not only cut in short lengths, but

hardened and tempered in short lengths—therefore every

foreign mainspring is an individual spring of uncertain‘

temper, making the watch a liability,





The foreign maker of watch movements buys his springs in

the open market. That is one reason why the imported,

watch gives such varying service. An inferior mainspring

ENSILOING «Bl-:51: Tops.





 





Next year I expect to have enough

through the whole winter, beginning

in the fall. Or by waiting until the

winter is half gone I could feed two

carloads. ,- This plan would give me

twice as many cattle in the spring-

top of the Corn silage and stay there

until February 1 before I commenced

to feed them. My question is this: Do

beet tops make good silage and will

they keep until thevlatter part of the

winter? Would you recommenddoing

it this way or would it be better to

feed them up out of the field in fall?

' Ionia Co. H. C. P.



Beet *topskeep well in the silo even

without cutting them up or crushing

them. Put in the whole top as it is

cut from the beet. It will settle down,

form a compact mass,” exclude the air

and will keep almost indefinitely ex-

cept that on top there will be consid-

erable loss. The beet tops areso

coarse that the air penetrates on top

for a foot or more and this will be all

waste. They will rot down until the

silo is sealed over, then all decompo-

sition stops.



Beet tops can be fed with the least

expense direct from the field.

considerable to put them into the silo,

but what cannot be consumed before

cold weather comes can be preserved

by ensiloing. It will be all right to put

the beet tops on top of the corn silage.





The only question here is one of labor _





in elevating the beet tops. ,

If you would get from the factory a

carload of wet pulp and put this on

top of your beet tops as soon as you

have them‘in the silo you will prevent

all loss because the wet pulp will ex-

clude all air from the beet tops.

How Dairymen Can Get

Extra Dollars





Greater production is the need of the hour—~greatcr and more

efficient production per man, per dollar. For dairymen, the

urgent cry is “Greater production per cow.”



The efficiency of your cows in making milk depends on the feed. And the

feed that wi ‘make more milk without increasing the cost of production is

the efficient feed—the feed that gives the dairyman extra profits.





International Special Dairy Feed





Increases the Milk Flow—Cuts the Cost





This feed ranks all others as the leading efiiciency feed. It has earned the

commendation of dairy experts after thorough tests. It has won the praise

_ URING the year just passed the

I). need of standardization of. crops

has been brought home with con-

siderable force.

Prices have been stabilized on pro-

ducts without a great deal of effort to-

ward stabilizing the product itself, and





' I this has resulted in considerable crit-





icism from both factions, the producer

The old idea of

production was to create two blades

of grass where one grew before, with-

out due regard for the kind of grass,

which was instilled into the soil, and

it took time and loss of money before

the American farmer awoke to the

fact that it was not so much the ques-

tion of production, as it was a standard

product thrust upon a stable market,

and in order to create a stable market

a standard product was necessary, not

for one man nor one community,

county and state-wide standardization

begins to take definite form and as-

sume true relatiOn in American agri-

culture.



In looking over the corn situation of

our county, the idea of a lack of defl-

nite varieties of corn was emphasized

on every hand, and while a great deal

of splendid corn is raised, it occurred

to us that if the variety could be found

which was best adapted to our condi-

tion and which would give the maxi-

mum yicld, and every man in the coun~





. ty raise that standard variety, that we





would be able to otter assistance in‘ the

very near future, as a pure- -bred seed

the county is a big undertaking, and

importance; and when the county be-

comes unified; and begins to think con-

structively along one line, and the

minds of from three to four thousand

men begin to think collectively instead

of individually, the most gigantic prob-

lem will soon melt into a mere atom.

Annual Event Necessary.



We consider that the first three

years of our efforts will be a gradual

weeding out of varieties, which add

nothing to the county’s welfare along

corn breeding lines, and we also feel

sure that it will be that long at least

before we can begin to offer prizes for

variety breeding. If we are Successful

in creating or finding the corn, which is

adapted to our section in that period

certainly our time and energy has been

well spent. '



It has been a. noticeable fact that.

we, as counties of our state, are con

tinually purchasing corn for feed, and

corn for seed from other sections, this '

in itself has and will hold back any

opportunity for'real constructive work.

Any county, which 'has soils and cli-

matic conditions especially adapted to

the growing of a'staple crop like corn,

and does not begin to supply its own

demands, must do one of the two

things at the present time, either im-

port the product from corn-growing

sections at an' exorbitant price, and

purchase other concentrates which

are more costly, or go without and

continue in the same rut that has char-

acterized agriculture for.the last few

years.



Men have become so used to asking





.themselves the question in the sp1ing,





as to whether it would be a good corn

year or not, that the whole situation

has become a big interrogation mark

in' some of Michigan’s best counties,

and as a resultthey have neglected to

look to the vital factbrs of the situa-

tion, and those are the varieties, the

plant, the ear and the kernel.

Cultivation consists of thinning the

loose and moist. .



Rape thrives best in a moist, rich





soil containing an abundant supply of;





organic matter. It is a gross feeder

and capable of making a wonderful

growth on any soil where conditions

are favorable. in Michigan rape is

used almost exclusively as a pasture

crop for sheep and hogs; Animals us-

very fond of it after they acquire a

taste for it.

time of seeding. If pasture is desired

seeded in rows produces more good

Film have been wondering,

On April 5,1918 at the suggestion of

the quartermaSter general’ 3 depart-





‘ meat, azure. government requested the





Wool trade of the United States to

am over its entire stock at current,

prices. This was done and the govern-

merit retained control until the sign-

ing of the armistice. Prices were held

up to the government standard until

December 131, by the announcement to

dealers December4 it would accept

their wool at the price ruling before

the signing of the armistice.



When the armistice was signed the

government had under its control be-

tween four hundred and five hundred

All of this

‘ernmenfwere held December 18-19—20.





Thesales were attended by manufac-





turers from all over the country, and





while some of the choicest grades of





"-wool sold at a price little below that

i paid by the government, other grades





were sold at a loss to the government





‘ of from ten to twenty per'bent.





Price Bound'to 90 Down.

Ascording to C. J. Mustion, presi-





dent of the C. J. Mustion Wool Com-





mission Company, the price of wool is

bound to go down, although M1". Mus-

tion believes it will not go as low as

the price paid before the war.



“The feeling of the trade," said Mr.

Mustion, “is that the 1919 clip will be

in open trading. While it is certain

prices will not drop to pro-war levels,

nevertheless they are bound to be‘ low-

“I should have at least half down,

‘ way, I wouldn’t have done business on

“Well, if your farm’s worth $10,000.

argued.



“Yes, but the buildings are what

Barrett.

“This means the higher-grades of

wool bought by the government at .





from fifty to sixty cents a pound, must

be sold at from thirty to thirty-six

cents. This, howeVer, is far in ad-

vance of the prices paid in 1913, when

brought only twelve to sixteen cents." '





However, sheepmen feel, even with

wool at from thirty to ferty—two cents





a pound, wool growing will still be a _





profitable business, and there will be

no serious shortage of wool within the

next few years due to any great num-

ber of growers going Out of the busi-

Applying the Fire Insumnce Money

ByA. B. Brown '





HEN John BroWn bought a farm 11101 tgagee When the buildings buin-

from Thomas Barrett for $10; ed it deistroyed part of my secuiity,





and the money simply 1epresents the

buildings and I am entitled to hold it

for my protection, whether. the mort-,

"gage is due or not.”



On this point Barrett was right, as

the law is that in such a case insur-

ance money paid to the mortgagee rep-

resents

the mortgagor cannot compel the inort-

gagee to hand over the money any

more than he can compel him to :re—

lease a part of the mortgaged property

from the mortgage itself.



Another important point arose in

connection with the same mortgage, as

when the first payment fell due, Bar-

rett demanded the amount of it from

Brown. .



“But you’ve got $4,000 of my money‘

in your hands now,” said Brown, “and

surely you don’t expect me to turn

around and pay you any more-take

this year’s payment out of the insur-

ance money.”



“No,” declared Barrett, “1 am hold-

ing that money for my own protection

and I’ll apply it to the last payments

on the. mortgage, so it’s up to you to

make this payment just the some as if

the buildings had not been burned.”



, “Well, I"! see about that before {'11

let you put that over on no,” snapped-

Brown, and when he did “see about it"

by consulting an attorney, he found

that this time Barrett was wrong and

that Brown was entitled to have the“

payment made out ._ of the mortgage

“money in Barrett's hands, 'as the gen-

eral rule which has been laid down by

the American courts, is that where a

mortgagee collects insurance money

of Agriculture sent out a compilation

of the last official figures showing es-

timates of live stock in the United

Kingdom, France and Denmark, com-

pared with the pre-war period. These

figures show a shortage in those coun-

tries of four million cattle, six million





’ hogs, and fourteen million sheep They





do not at all confirm the startling

shortages repeatedly claimed by the

Food Administration. According to

the estimates of the Department of

Agriculture, the United States had on

January 1, 1919, ten million more cat

tie and thirteen million more hogs than

on January 1, 1914, and about the same

January 1, 1919, ten million more cat-

ficient to offset the shortage in the

countries named. The marketing of

live stock in this country plainly indi-

cates an increased supply. Some

shortage abroad exists, but its extent

and the necessities of foreign consum-

ers have not yet been accurately de-

termined. Everything points to a large

foreign demand for meat products dur-

ing 1919, and possibly in 1920, but in

lesser volume. After that our exports

of meat products will likely return to

the pre-war basis.

Hint at Overproduction.



“The marketing and slaughter of

cattle and hogs last year was the larg-

est on record. The fifteen per cent

increase in hog production. desired by

the Food Administration .was more

than fulfilled. ' Stocks of meat in stor-

age are large, and apparently ade-

quate for all demands; and still the

Food Administration and the Depart-

ment of Agriculture are urging in-





creased production of meat-food ani— -





mals, on the theory that foreign de-

mand will increase rather than de-

crease. I hope their conclusion is cor-

rect. I believe the United States has



more than a normal. supply of meat

animals, and that it is ample to meet

all reasonable anticipated demands on,

us from abroad,” and for our domestic

consumption, despite the liquidation





during the last year. With" our expert '





of-meat products decreasing after 1919

supply increasing—or, ex-

pressing it another way, with a mark-

ed increase in our meat supply, Which

is pos’sibleI, and a decrease in our ex-



port of meat after that period, which

is probable—Tit may preve disastrous to

our industry. Therefore, the problem

that confronts the cattlemen is to reg-

ulate supplies in 1920, and thereafter,

to the needs of domestic consumers;





for that is the only sure and unfailing ‘





market for Our, product. Even our

home market may be affected by im-





portations of beef‘ from other surplus .

. countries. .

(Continued from page 246).

A small amount of observation will,

inMshowaworidtuil of these on-





‘eu'nei increments which the single





tannin would so vigorously prune off

in'the use of land. Are industry and

cm and honesty the only M

to success in personal matters! Cer-

tainly not. A Jenny Lind. a Daniel

Webster or 0. Charles Selim have

“unearned” natural (and very profit-

able) gifts which the WW, effort

andw'eofalltherestofus maynot

emit. Are they always the deserving,

the public spirited. the dependable

who may the large public or social 1e-

mrds in our finest No. mm Quite

likely it is the mm membership

through birth in some politieil party-

which gives the lucky comm his

unearned public once. or perhaps it is

membership in some “old first family”

which rewards in a social way. Some

one has estimated that a white man

through color of skin alone has in corn

parison with a negro an unearned ad-

vantage in almost any human situa-

tion of one-half to two-thirds. The

“taxing off” of inequalities then, which

flow from unearned advantages should

extend much further than does the

proposed tax on land if a genuine so-

cial reform along this line is to be

secured.



Modern governments the world over

use the tax principle of assessing-each

subject according to his ability to pay.

Property, whether real estate or per-'

sonal, is merely one of the tests of

this ability. The selective draft of the

past two years was simply an exten-

sion of this same principle. Here, how-

ever, instead of one’s property it was

his person, perhaps his life, which was

asked for by government The de-

mands of government were universal,

too; every subject made his contribu-

tion; perhaps only “his bit” or per-

haps his fortune or his job. It seems

quite certain in the greater social liv-

ing which will mark human life of the

future that the close personal depend-

ence between governments and sub-

jects implied in “ability to pay” and

' “selective draft” will be vastly extend-

ed. It seems like a poor time, then,

'for‘ us to change our principle of tax

payments from that of “ability to pay”

universally applied to that of land

when so relatively few own land. -

The clause in the suggested amend-

ment proposing “to assess land at its

,-cash value”_ should mislead no one.

- [and is now assessed at its cash value

and the State Tax Commission is

Excharged with keeping it so. The bur-

:den of the new tax, will lie in the rate

ghogether with its subdivisions—boun-

be diminished. But the “exemption of

' merit, will reduce the taxable property

is true, say the single taxers, because

it is the increased prices for land pro-1

ied. Will it be m: to the Michigan

farmer receiving the some price for

his wheat as “the Illinois farmer

to pay this unearned increment tax

upon his land while the Illinois farmer

goes soot free? We think not. We

think it would be decidedly unfair-to

the Michigan fewer and would prove

so burdensome to him that he would

prefer to be a. farmer in any other

state of the union rather than in one

where this tax is levied.



At the request of Governor Osborn

in 1911 a tax commission of three, the

Hon. Roger Wykes. Congressman Pat-

rick Kelley and Dr. Henry Adams can-

vassed the needs of this state with re—

gard to taxation. After an entire sm-

mer spent in investigation during

which many public hearings were held

the report of this commission showed

that manufacturing businesses—the

very ones which this proposed amend-

ment would exempt through being “im-

provements in and on land”—made the

least proportionate payments of taxes

of any of the taxpayers within the

state. In fact, it was possible to find

factory plants whose owners valued

them at many millions which appeared

upon the assessment rolls as worth

Only a few thousands of dollars. Local

town and city dependence upon manu-

factories for their existence and pros-

perity was a frequent reason given for

the non-appearance of these great

wealth producers at full value upon

the assessment rolls.‘ ,





It is against tax delinquents of this

sort—these factories and business

houses-then, that the farmers of the

state should take united action in or-

der to get more "equal taxation.” Cam-

paigns of this sort are not unknown to

the Michigan farmer. There was the

very successful “drive” against un-

equal railroad taxation under Governor

Pingree two decades ago. The improv-

ed taxation of our upper peninsula

mines followed a. few years later; now

only the factories and businesses re-

main to be dealt with. A campaign for

extending the same treatment to them

that was given the railroads would be

much more timely aim fruitful than a

revolutionary social reform campaign

of the single tax sort. One can hardly

commend . too highly the special tax

report referred to above and the nine

or ten biennial repel-ts from the State

Tax Commission tony-one who wishes

to ascertain what the real needs of

mchigan are“ in the way of taxation.

we Reach the Lake.





E was between me and the deer

H trail, and enough of daylight yet

remained to enable me to per-



ceive the man clearly. -How long he

may have been there'observi—ng' me I

could not know, but'when I first saw

him he was, bent forward, apparently

deeply interested in some sudden dis-

covery upon the groundqat his feet.



“‘You thought me long in returning,

Monsieur?” I asked careless1y, and tak-

ing a step toward him. “It was cooler

up here, and the view from the blufl

yonder beautiful” You may gain some

conoeption of it still, if you care.”



He lifted his "head with a jerk, and

stared into my face. .



“Ay! no doubt,” he said harshly, “yet

I hardly think it was the View which

held you here so long. Whose boot

print is this, Madame? Not yours,

surely?”



I glanced where he pointed, my heart

leaping, yet not altogether with regret.





" The young Sieur had left his trail be-





bind, and it would serve me whether

by his will or no.



“Certainly not mine, ” and I laughed.

“I trust, Monsieur, your powers of ob-

servation are better than that—’tis

hardly a compliment.”



“Nor is this time for any lightness

of speech, my lady,” he retorted, his

anger fanned by my indifference.

“Whose is it then, I ask you, What

man has been your companion here?”



“You jump at conclusions, Mon-

sieur,” I returned coldly. “The stray

imprint of a man’s boot on the turf is

scarcely evidence that I have had a

companion. Kindly stand aside, and

permit me to descend.”



“Mon Dieu! I will not!” and he block-

ed my passage. “I have stood enough

of your tantrums already in the boat.

Now we are alone, and I will have my

say. You shall remain here until I

learn the truth.”



His rage rather amused me, and I

felt not the slightest emotion of fear,

although there was threatin his words

and in the gesture accompanying

them. I do not think the smile even

deserted my lips, as I sought a'com—

for-table seat on a fallen tree trunk,

fully conscious that nothing would so

infuriate the man as studied indiffer-





‘ ence.





“very well, Monsieur, I await your

investigation with pleasure,” I said

sweetly. “No doubt it will prove in-

teresting. You honor me with the sus-

picion that I had an appointment here

with one of your men.”



“No matter what I suspicion.”



“Of course not; you treat me with

marked consideration. Perchance oth-

ers have camped here, and explored

these bluffs.’ '



“The print is fresh, not ancient, and

none of the men from my camp have

come this way.”



He strode forward, across the nar-

row open space, and disappeared into

the fringe of trees bordering the edge

of the bluff. It would have been easy





‘ for me to depart, to escape to the se-

curity of the tent below, but curiosity.





held me motionless. *I knew what he

would discover, and preferred to face

this consequences where I was free to

answer him face to face; I wished him

to be suspicious, to feel that he had a.

“ ’Tis the fellow I thought," he burst ‘



forth “and he went down the Iace of ; ..

‘ “With whom, Monsieur?” “1.1,?”‘1,





   





“De Artigny,’ the yOung fool!

What





ridiculous charge do'es not amuse me.





I am a woman; you insult me; I am

your wife; you charge me with indis-

cretion. If you think to win me with

such cowardly insinuations you know

little of my nature. I will not talk

with you, nor discuss the matter. I

return to the camp. ”‘





His hands clinched as though he had»





the throat of an enemy between them,

but angry as he Was, some vague doubt

restrained 111111.



“Mon Dieu! ' Ijll fight the dog!”



“De Artigny, IyOu mean? "me his

trade, I hear, and he is good at it. ”



“Bah! a bungler of . the woods. I

doubt if he ever crossed blades with-a

swordsman. But mark you this, Ma-

dame, the lad feels my steel if ever

you so much as speak to him again.”





There was contempt in my eyes, nor-





did I strive to disguise it.



“Am I your wife, Monsieur, or your

slave?”



“My wife, and I know how to hold

you! Mon Dieu! but you shall learn

that lesson. I was a. fool to ever give

the brat place in the boats. La Barre

warned me that he would make trou-

ble. Now I tell you what will occur if

you play false with me.”



“You may spare your threats—they

weigh nothing. The Sieur de Artigny

is my friend, and I shall address him

when it. pleases me. With whatever

quarrel may arise between you I have

no interest. Let that suffice, and now

I bid you good night, Monsieur.”



He made no effort to halt me, nor

to follow,_and I made my way down

the darkening path, without so much

as turning my head to observe his

movements. It was almost like a. play

to me, and I was reckless of the conse-

quences, intent only on my purpose.



I was awake a. long time, lying alone

on my blankets, within the silent tent,

staring out at the darkness. I saw

Cassion descend the deer . path, per-

haps an hour after I left him, andgo

on to the main camp below. He made

110., pause ashe passed, yet walked

'slowly as though in thought. Where

he went I could not determine in the

gloom, yet was convinced he had no

purpose then of Seeking De Artigny or

of putting'his threat into immediate

action. In all probability he believed

that his words would render me cau-

tious, in spite of my defiant response,

and that I would avoid creating'trou-

ble by keeping away from the younger

man. He was no brawler, except as he

felt safe, and this young frontiersman

was hardly the‘antagonist he would

choose. .It would be more apt to be a

blow in the dark, or an overturned

canoe. ‘

wish to precipitate an open quarrel be-

tween the two men. However it .ended

such anroccurrenee‘ would serve me ill,

and all that my plan contemplated was

that they should distrust each other,





and thus permit me to play the one'





againstthe other, until I won my

game. Ifelt no fear of the result, no

doubt of my ability to manipulate the

strings adroitly enough to achieve the

end Bought.





The one point I ignored was the

primitive passions ‘of men. These were

beyond my control; were already be-

yond, although I knew it not. Fires

were smouldering in hearts which out

yonder in the dark woods would burst

into flame of destruction. Innocent as

my purpose was, it had in it the germs

of tragedy; but I was then too young

and too inexperienced to know.





Nor had I reason to anticipate the

result of my simple ruse, or occasion

to note» any serious change in my sur-

roundings. The routine of our journey

gave me no hint of the hidden passions

seething \below the, outward appear-

ance of things. In the early dawn we

broke camp as usual, except that cho-

sen boatmen guided the emptied can-

oes through the rapids, while the oth-

ers of the party made portage along

the rough shore. In the smooth wa-

ter above we all embarked again, and

won slow way against the current.

The advance company had departed

before our arriVal, nor did I again ob-

tain glimpse of De Artigny for many

days. '



I would not say that Cassion pur-

posely kept us apart, for the arrange-

ment might have been the same ‘had

I not been of the party, yet the only

communication between the two divis-

ions_occurred when some messenger

brought back _warning of dangerous

water ahead. Usually this messenger

was an‘ Indian, but once De Artigny

himself came, and guided our canoes





through a. torrent of white, raging wa-





ter, amid a maze of murderous rocks.

During these days and weeks Cas-





‘sion treated me with consideration and





outward respect. Not that he failed to

talk freely, and to boast of his exploits

and adventures, yet he refrained from

laying hand on me, nor did he once

refer to the incident of the bluff. ,I

knew not what to make of the man in

this new role of gallant, yet suspicion-

ed that he but bided his time, and a.

better opportunity for exhibiting his

true purpose.





There were times, when he thought





I was not observing him, when the ex-





:pression of his eyes brought me uneas- .





iness, and I was soon aware thatp-in





spite of his genial manner, and friend-g

_ly expression, his surveillance was in





no degree relaxed. Not foi- a moment

Nor was the journey lacking in in-

terest or adventure. Never shall I for-

get the charm of those days and nights,

amid which we made slow and toil-

some passage through the desolate wil- ‘

derness, ever gaining new leagues to

the westward. Only twice in weeks did

,we encounter human beings—once a

camp of Indians on the shore of a lake,

and once a Capuchin monk, alone but -

for a single voyageur, as companion,

passed us upon the river He would

have paused to exchange words, but

at sight of Pere Allouez’ s black robe,

' he gave swift command to his engage,

and the two disappeared as though

fleeing from the devil. ‘



But what visions of beauty, and sub-

limity, were those that swept constant-

ly past us as we thus advanced into

the wild depths of the woods. No two

views were ever alike, and every curve

in the river bank brought a fresh vista.

I never tired of the vast, silent forests

that seemed to shut us in, nor of the

dancing silver of the swift water under

our keel, nor of the great rocky bluffs

under whose grim shadows we" found

passage. To me the hardships even

were enjoyable; the clambering over

rough portages, the oceasional mishap,

‘the coarse fare, the nights I was com—

pelled to passed in the canoe, these

only served to give zest to the great

adventure, to make real the unusual

experiences I was passing through.



I was scarce more than a girl,

young, strong, little accustomed to

luxury. and my heart responded to the

exhilartion of constant change, and the

thrill of peril. And When, at last, we

made the long portage, tramping

through the dark forest aisles, bearing

on our shoulders heavy loads, scarcely

able to see the sun even at midday

through the leafy screen of leaves, and

came forth at twilight on the shores

of the mighty lake, no words can ex-

mess the raptures with which Istood

and gazed across that expanse of heav-





ing, 1est1ess water. The men launched _





their canoes upon the surface, and

'made camp in the edge of the forest,

but I could not move, could not re-

strain my eyes, until the‘ darkness de-

scended and left all before me a void.

Never had' I gazed upon so vast a

spectacle, so somber in the dull gray

light, stretching afar to the horizon,

its wild, desolate silence adding to its

v awful majesty. Even when darkness

enshrouded it all, the memory haunted

me, and I c0uld but think and dream,

frightened and awed in presence of that

stupenous waste of waters. The so]-

diers sang about their fires, and Gas-

sion sought me with what he meantto

be courteous Words, but I was in no

spirit to be amused. For hours I lay

alone, listening to the dull roar of the

waves along the shore, and the wind

in the trees. De Artigny, and his

DartY. camped just beyond us, across

the mouth of a narrow stream, but I

saw nothing of him, nor do I believe

I gave his presence a thought.





It was scarcely more than daybreak

when we broke Camp, andheaded our

canoes out into the lake. With the

dawn, and the glint of sunlight over



' the waters, much of my dread depart-

'ed, and I could appreciate the wild

song of delight with which 'our Indian

paddlers bent to their work. The

sharp-mowed cances swept through

the waters swiftly, no longer battling

against 'a current, and‘the shore line

ever in view was fascinating in its

.green foliage. We kept close to the





northern shore, and soon found pas-

'. sage amid numerous islands, forest

covered, but with high, rocky out-1"





_ lines.

For four days we coasted thus, nev-

with islands between us and the main





' body of water In all that time we had





no sign of man—not even a wisp of

smoke, nor heard the crack of distant

rifle. About us extended loneliness

and desolation, great waters never still,

sunlight.

in its bow, and a soldier dislocating his

held us for some hours, and later,

when once more afloat, 1etarded our

progress. '



This misfortune served also to re

store Monsieur Cassion to his natural

ill temper, and led to a quarrel be-

tween himself and Chevet which might

“have ended seriously had I not inter-

vened. This incident, however, left

the Commissaire in ugly mood, an

caused him to play the bully over his

men. To me he was sullen, after an

attempt at insolence, and sat glower-

ing across the water, meditating upon

revenge.



At last we left the chain of islands

behind, and one moming struck out

from the shore into the waste of wa-

ters, the prows of the canoes turned

westward, the steersman guiding our

course by the sun. For several hours

we were beyond view of land, with

naught to rest the eye upon save the





‘ gray sea. and then, when it was nearly





night, -we reached the shore, and

beached our canoes at St. Ignace.





CHAPTER xiv.

At St. ‘lgnace.





and so long had the name been

familiar throughout New France, that

my first view of the place brought me

bitter disappointment. The faces of

the others in our party pictured the

same disillusion.



Hugo Chevet had been in these

parts on fur-trading expeditions, and

’twas probable that De Artigny had

stopped there on one of his voyages.

with La Salle. But to all the others

the place had been merely a name, and





I out- imagination had invested it with





an importance scarcely justified by

what we saw as our canoes drew in to‘

ward the beach.



The miserable little village was up-

on a. point of land, originally covered

with heavy growth of forest. A bit of

this had been rudely cut, the rotting

stumps still standing, and from the

timber a dozen rough log houses and

been constructed facing the lake. A





’ few rods back, on slightly higher land





was a log chapel, and a house, some-

what more pretentious than the others.

men.” I4 overheard Cassion order 111111

to remain, but he added some Word in

lower voice, which brought a flush of

anger into the younger man’ 3 face, al-

though he merely turned on his heel.

without reply.





The young J esuit beside mer—a pale-

faced, delicate appearing man, almost

emaciated in his long black robe—-

scarcely breathed a word as we“ climb-

ed the rather steep ascent, but at the

door of the mission house paused

gravely, and directed our attention to

the scene unrolled behind. it was in-





deed a vista of surpassing beauty, for.





from this point we could perceive the

distant curve of the shore, shadowed

by dark forests, while the lake itself,

silvered by the setting sun stretched

afar to the horizon, unbroken in its

immensity except for an island lifting

its rock front leagues away.





So greatly was I impressed with the

view, that after we had been shown

into the bare room of the mission,

where scarcely a comfort was to be

seen, I crossed to the one window, and

stood there staring out, watching the-

light fade across those leagues of wav

ter, until the purple twilight descended

like a. veil of mist. YetII heard the

questions and answers, and learned

that nearly all the inhabitants were

away on various expeditions into the

wilderness, none remaining except the-

two pliests in charge of the mission,

and the few engages necessary for

their work. Only a. few days before

five priests had departed to establish

a mission at Green Bay, and visit the

Indian villages beyond.





The young Jesuit spoke freely when

once convinced that our party jour-

neyed to the Illinois country, and was-

antagonistic to La Salle, who had

shown small liking for his Order. The

presence of Pere AllouIez overcame his-

first suspicion at recognition of De Ar--

tigny, and he gave free vent to his-

dislike of the Recollets, and the policy

of those adventurous Frenchmen who

had dared oppose the Jesuits. 4





He produced a newly drawn map of

the great lake we were to traverse,

and the men studied it anxiously while

the two priests and the engage preparw

ed a, simple meal. For the moment I

was forgotten and left alone on a rude

bench beside the great fireplace, to

listen to their discussion, and think

my Own thoughts.



We remained at St. Ignace for three

days, busily engaged in repairing our

canoes, ‘and rendering them fit for the

long voyage yet before us. From this

point we were to venture on treacher-

ous waters, as yet scarcely explored,

the shores inhabited by savage, un-

known tribes, with not a. white man in.

all the long distance from Green Bay

to the Chicago portage. Once I got.

out the map; and traced the distance,

feeling sick at heart as I thus realized

more clearly the weary journey.





Those were dull, lonely days I pass-





ed in the desolate mission house, while





the others were busy at their various

tasks. Only at night time, or as they

struggled in, to their meals, did I see

anyone but Pere AlloueIz, who was al-

ways close at hand, a silent shadow

His winter we have, seen more



farmers cutting wood throughout



the southern tiers of counties in

Michigan than for more than a third

of a century. Riding from Detroit to

Battle Creek recently on an interurban

limited car we noticed scores of big

wood piles around as many sets of

farm buildings. Much of this was

green block wood that has recently

been cut. . . , _



There are some farms that have fine

woodlots that have been carefully con-

served for the last twenty-five years

or more. The dead trees are cut out

each winter. and as much more as need-

ed from the largest ones. Very few

young trees are cut, unless absolutely

necessary for some special purpose.



In 1825, all along the route we-trav-





Veled over, on what is called the “Old





Territorial Road,” there was plenty of





ment engineers had to do considerable

chopping to get through. Later on

when the main highway was improved

more or less (apparently less in some





of the track for a few feet, but in

many, places for. years each recurring

heavy storm would throw down one or

more big trees across the roadbed so

that travel by vehicle was stopped un-

til the tree could be cut up enough to

turn the trunk sections out of the way.

In several localities there are still

small timber strips through which the

read runs wherein a small portion of





.the original forest still remains, al-’





though all the larger trees have been

cut out from time to time. '



There are many of the younger farm-

ers in every county of the lower half

of the lower peninsula who will look

‘After a big tree was cut down, in

the farmer commenced to cut off‘short

"Why don’t you tell us farmers’

wives as much about J ell-O as you do

the city women, and why not give

us the same chance to get Jell- O

when we want it ?”



That was some time ago, and since

then .Tell-O has been placed on sale

in practically every general store in

America, including the one at the

Comers and the Cross Roads, where

it can be obtained as easily as at the

groceries in the big towns.



The Jell-O Book is free to every

woman everywhere. It is full of re-

cipes for the desserts and salads that

are most popular just now, not only

because they are cheaper than almost

anything else that is worth serving,

but are really better than any made

at much greater expense. And most

of them can be made in a minute.



The J ell-O Book will be sent to you

if you will write and ask for it.



Jell-O is put up in six pure fruit

flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry,

WE have been accustomed to‘

thinking of virtue as being a.



precious possession, [and always

good, but virtue carried to the nth de-

gree becomes vice. Or_perhaps I should

say a virtue carried to excess becomes





any form of overdoing. Perhaps‘the

fact is 'born in on me just now because

I’ve recently had a great deal to do

with one “or two persons who pride

themselves on certain virtues which to

their friends are their chief faults. And

of course, no one can make them see

their mistake.

thing they pride themselves upon is in

itself a virtue, and can not see how

they“ are overdoing it.



One is a woman who prides herself

on plain speaking. She says she sim-

ply tells the truth at all times. Now,

of course, truth in itself is a virtue and

one greatly to be desired. But one can

go to excess even with the truth. I re-

member it used to puzzle me as a child

to get my mother’s fine distinction.

views. No one is ever left in doubt as

to what she thinks about them person-

allyi-and all their family. Wherever

she goes she leaves behind a trail of

wounded and bleeding, or wrathy and .

apoplectic individuals, according to the

temperament of her auditors. Need-v

less to say she is about as welcome

as the ’flu. Invitations never come

her way, and-welcome signs are hast-

ily torn down when she appears round

a corner.



Her. acquaintances regard her as a

wicked woman, but she believes her-

self to be unusually good. They think

her excessive truth-telling is a vice,

a cloak for venting her spite, but she

really believes she is doing. the right

thing.

His policy has estranged everyone

ciates have as little to do with him

as possible. His 'uncommu'nicativeo

ness kept him from advancement in

business and shut him out of all social

And his entire family have to

So every virtue becomes a vice if it

is worked too hard. The over-neat

woman who keeps her family from en-

joying their home-is a sinner. Honest

inquiry becomes inquisitiveness when

carried too far. Ambition which inter-

feres with one’s fellows is autocracy.

So we might carry it into everything.

It simply resolves itself into the axiom

that over-indulgence is intemperance,

or vice.

REGRET that I shall have to sub

season's work. The dry weather

has surely cut down my profit. While

my total production has exceeded that

of the previous year, I do not feel that





17‘*arden Venture

By F rederick Kibbe





 

 

 

 

 

 

 





I alloWed to lie untrained and found

that these were most susceptible to

black-rot. I purchased a force pump

sprayer, and sprayed the plants With

Bordeaux mixture fer blight at several

stages of growth. The plants were





I have attained the degree or success 'kept pruned, to a. central leader and





I have tried for. Possibly, though, a

few disappointments mixed in with the

successes, make us better able to cope

with the problems Which we shall

meet when we launch out into later

life.



A good agriculturist‘ is one who real-

izes this fact, and is always able'to

meet a loss with a smile. He may

realize a good profit 'on a crop, and

then lose on another. 'And so it is to

a great extent, a. game of chance.



When I mentioned that I have a poor

report, it is due to the failure of my

crop of tomatoes. The venture cost

me in actual money $27.25, not includ-

ing. my own labor which would be at

least $15. In other words, it cost me

close to $45 to raise about $35 worth

of tomatoes. I had made a conserva~

tive estimate, and still adhere to it,





d





were tied about six times altogether.

But all my efforts seemed to avail noth-

ing, for at the bearing season the

Weather was very dry. 0



I don’t know why I have said so

much about my tomatoes, when they

were a losing proposition, and placed:





my best crop—peas——of second import-' '





ance. My, how thoSe'peas did grow.

Altogether, I had -'.-thirt»y-three rows. _

fourteen and a half rods long, which

produced in all ' ferty-five bushels of

peas of goodquality. Iliad some of

the first peas in town—the first lot oh

the fifth of June. This crop was cer-

tainly a successful venture.



It cost me,‘ in round figures $55, ev-

erything included, (labor, too). I re-

ceived close to $105 for the entire crop

thus bringing me a net profit of $50

After all, it is the net profit that we‘

that with a fair season I could have

raised at least $150 worth of the fruit

from that patch.



7 This venture is what lowered the

percentage of. profit on the garden as

'a. whole. ‘

ence «in the matter of raising tomatoes,

from the seedlings up to the harvest

time. In a way, when I think‘of what

I lost, I don’t regret the venture, be-

cause I have gained something of in-

finitely more value than mere dollars

and cents—experience.



When spring came I decided that I

would be better off if I raised my own

plants than if I bought them outright.

I figured that if I failed, I would know

that I had made a mistake, and that

when I tried again, I should have one

less thing to learn. So I built a hot-

bed (a rather crude affair at that), on

the south side of the house. ‘ I bought

seedlings of Stone, Earlianna and John

Beard plants. I tried several ways of

raising them, in flats, pots and in the

soil of the hot-bed, but obtained the

best results from those raised in pots.

So I have learned something about a

hotbed. When I set the plants'out, I

had to contend with the’cutworm; This





> . pest ruined over fifty plants, and my '





troubles ceased only when I placed





' collars around the stalks, near the sur-





face. I staked five hunfired- plants and





 





 





l - betFér fruit. The balance cf the plants





I received valuable experiw





should look for in anything. I ‘had

very little trouble in disposing of the,

peas, I would deliver them while I had

some women busy on the patch. A

little advertising also brought splendid '

results. When the price-here dropped,

I took a load of ten bushels over to

Battle Creek in a car. I received $28

for the load of ten bushels, and after

I’had paid for the gasoline was $25 to

the good. '



After my peas ceased hearing, I had

the vines plowed under, and I planted

string beans and late cabbage in this

space. When harvested these crops

were mature. .



I believe that next year I shall spe-

cialize in peaS—raise an acre of them.

I am sure that with fair success I

could net at least $150 from such a.

project.



I raised other crops, too, such as

string beans, lettuce, corn, beets and

carrots. My string beans brought in

over $25 and were very little trouble

raising. -



Last year, that is during the 1917

season I feel as though I really did ae-

compllsh something. With a part of

the proceeds I invgsted in a $50 .

The report sets forth that 46,989 boys

and girls, mostly in rural communi-

ties, became members of clubs during

the year—and incidentally became ac-

quainted with cooperation, helped to

raise live stock and crops, and to can

,Other items in the report: disclosed

that during the year a. total of,2,700

clubs were organized and supervised.

Of these ninetéen were corn clubs,

eighty-six potato clubs, 1,448 garden

clubs, 648 canning clubs, sixty-five

were poultry clubs, twenty-three were

calf clubs, twenty-two pig clubs, 215

garment-making clubs, sixty-six handi-

craft clubs. forty bean clubs, fourteen

sheep clubs, one baking club, sixteen

hot school lunch clubs, and thirteen

rabbit clubs. The total cost of super-

part of which was paid by the federal

government, a. part by the state. and a

lights- ' . ' ’





the January 4‘issue, “Long Days



for Hens,” giving report of experi-

ments at Purdue University with elec-

tric lights mornings and evenings in

the bed houses for the purpose of

lengthening the days for the hens.

There has been a good deal written

this winter in the poultry journals re-

garding this business of lengthening

the hen day with a view to securing

more of the much sought after “winter

egg,” and with few exceptions the"

‘ writers have been very much in favor

of the stunt. It has been used suc-

cessfully in some sections along the

,Pacific Coast for a number of years.

George A. Newell, of Chicago, has is-

sued a book giving results of his ex-

periments with a small flock of Leg-

horns in Chicago, under electric lights.

The result obtained by Mr. Newell as

set forth in his book, encouraged me

to go to the expense this fall of wiring

our hen houses and the results in the

two months that I have been running

the lights have far more, than justified

lights in the morning only is the sav-

ing in the installation, as it does away

wires all through, with two sixty-watt-

lamps in each twenty by twenty-foot

making it unnecessary to go Outside

The day lights were started on-No-

Two weeks latex-‘1- gathered one .hun-1

' steadilyuntil laying about twenty doz-

the lights, outside of labor, .wasxabout

’ the writer, with a little expert advice

and assistance, in making connections,

etc. At preysiling egg prices this win-

One noticeable "advantage ,vwas in the





rapid maturing of the late pullets after





they were given the lengthened day.

Within a. very few days the combs

commenced to redden, the bodies to





plump out, and egg production jumped





from nil to thirty percent in a. few

weeks. Also the pen of old hens have

shown striking results. ' I do not ex-

pect much as a rule from old hens in

early winter. These birds were in full

molt when lights. were started, and

laying not at all. They got» their new

feathers as if by magic, and egg pro-

duction jumped to as high as fifty per

cent some days within a month.



We are fortunate here in having the

Edison current’available for such uses.

However, where .it is not available

there are several makes of high-power

lanterns which should give .the same

results, although not quite as conven-

ient to use.



There are a number of. owners of

small floc‘ks in this community who

have followed suit this winter, with

nothing but good results so far, as egg

production goes. It seems to be a mat-

ter of getting a feed into the birds

late enough at night to hold' them

through the night and give them a sur-

plus for the making of eggs. Under

ordinary conditions it is well nigh im-

possible for a hen to eat enough before

going to roost to keep her through 'the

fifteen hours she sits on the roost, and

have enough left over to make an egg.

Poultry Notes





' HE one-fourth-inch mesh wire

cloth makes a strong protection

‘ for open-front houses. The mesh

is small enough to, keep sparrows from

entering the house andrroosting or

stealingfood from the hoppers. When

properly fastened from the inside it is

rather difficult to remove from the out-

side and this is a safeguard against

thieves.

' It pays to padlock the poultry house

every night and know how many birds

are supposed to roost there. Then an

occasional inventory will tell if thieves

“have been making visits to the house.

Some poultrymen, construct electrical

alarms which will ring in the house if

there is any tampering in the poultry

yard at night. Strict measures'should

be taken with poultry thieves at all

.times and now there is nothing that ‘

will discourage poultry production in

a. district more than the feeling that

thieves will carry oflrmor‘e, oriess of

the birds which have been eating high- ,

priced ' :9st since last spring.

ed on for assistance in this regard.





In view of the rather Strong indica-

tions of the development of a demand

for; considerable numbers of ~ dairy cat-

tle from the United States, I took the

liberty while in Paris, with the apprOv-

al of the chairman of the Commission,

to exchange notes with the head of the

French Live Stock Sanitary Service,

suggesting an informal understanding

with the Bureau of Animal Industry

on the subject of Cattle importations.

This correspondence is being forward-

,ed direct to the Chief of the Bureau.

The attitude of the French official is

encouraging and the correspondence

can be made the basis of more formal

negotiations if desired.





With horses and mules it is to be ex-

pected, that one of the first sources of

supply will be those now in the French

and American armies. Naturally the

British horses first relieved will go to

British farmers.

ies can do French farmers a service if

they are allowed to buy horses and

mules, especially the heavier ones, as

rapidly as demobilization will permit.

There will be no object whatever in

bringing all the American army ani-

does not need them in France, the

French and Belgian farmers should be

alloWed to have them. Arrangements

should and no doubt can be made to in-

sure equitable prices for such animals.

They should not be “condemned” and

sold at'auction.





I am unable to see that the United





assistance in rebuilding the sheep in-

dustry. Possibly Argentinawould be

a more promising source of supply.





General Considerations.





In the agricultural reconstruction

work at the close of the war the farm-

er of Continental Europe should neith-

er be given charity nor'should he be

made the victim of exploitation. Neith-

'er should the farmers of any other

countries be alloWed to suffer from the

consequences of unbalanced produc-

tion, from inadequate distribution, or

from unwise financial organization.





This general statement leads to the

suggestion that agricultural matters

in the future will receive much larger

consideration in international councils

7 than has heretofore been the rule. Am-

erican business men on war duty in

London and Paris, almost without ex-

ception, recognize the importance of

agricultural matters in world affairs





bility to handle them on socount of

their lack of technical knowledge. 1 .v

can program for” meat or wool produc-

tion in 1925. Why should farmers ev-





erywhere rush into the production of





such a staple as wheat if on investiga-

tion a conservative planting program

will satisfy all reasonable demands

and previde for unforseen contingen-

dies? The United States suffered from

unbalanced production for thirty years

after the Civil War. ' The rapid devel-

opment of farming in the upper Mis-

sissippi Valley and westward is a

splendid theme for a platform orator

to use to thrill his audience. Practi-

cally, however, it wrecked for a gener- '

ation the agriculture of the North At-

lantic states; it stopped the growing

of wheat in England and in the .very

land where this development took

place “a farmer” in the nineties was

a by- -word for an unwise, short- sighted

individual. In Iowa at this time the

bright boys in the farm family were

the favored ones and, if the father

could afford it, received an education

to fit them for a professibn or for bus-

iness. The dullards, who were not

worth an education in ‘the father’s

opinion, were left to manage the farm.

In those days corn was burned for

fuel in Nebraska, and Iowa farmers

welcomed an epidemic of hog cholera

because the ravages of the disease

sent the market up. The land was not

to blame,'nor the weather,_nor the gov-

ernment. This calamitous condition

was the result of unbalanced agricul-.

tural production; more grain ,and meat

were produced that the world’s mar-

kets could absorb.



For the-protection of the American

farmer and in justice to the farmers of

other countries, nothing should be left

undone which humanly can be done to

prevent such an unwise development

as a sequel to the present war. For-

tunately, in the Agricultural Extension

Act, and the various services organ-

ized under it, American farmers have

funCtions at their command which may

gfairly' be expected to protect them in

any probable developments of world-

wide agricultural c0nditions,prov1ded

full and accurate information is at the

command of the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture. This information

cannot be forthcoming unless the Unit-

ed States government can answer two

queStions: (1) What are the prespec-

tive’foOd, 'feed'and fiber demands of

the world? (2) What are the pros-

pective productiOn possibilities of the

agricultural countries, If the Depart-

ment of Agriculture can forecast the

answer to these questions with reason-





able accuracy sufliciently in advance of » _





the ”production of “a given» crop, the

county agents can furnish our farmers

with information which will enable

them to expand or contract their oper-

ations to conform to world reduire-

meats. The success of» the preduction

RATlON FOR PIGS.





I would like your opinion on the fol-

lowing ration for growing pigs: Two

parts corn, two parts oats, and one

part barley, cooked. Alsohow would

the same mixture dorfor hens? I also

have some skim-milk.



Eaton Co. . C. P.





Your grain ration of two parts corn,

two parts oats and one part barley, if.

fed along with skim-milk would make

an excellent [ration for grewing pigs.

The same grains, supplemented with a

dry mash would make an excellentra—

tion for hens. Forfeeding hens better

results would come from feeding the

grains whole in a deep litter and fur-

nishing a dry mash made up of bran,

middlings and ground grains. While

many feeding authorities do not favor

cooking food for hogs, yet it is a fact

that many good feeders report excel-

lent results from the practice. During

cold weather pigs certainly do relish

a warm feed in the morning.

FATTENING HORSES.





 





Will you please furnish me within-

formation on fattening horses? I have

several three and four-year-old,horses

that I wish to increase the weight of

What is the best method and ration for

doing this? Is there anything that I

can do to cause them to shed their

winter coat by March 10? I am now

feeding corn andoats and mixed hay.

I also have barley, rye, and a. small

quantity of flaxseed, ground.

Lenawee Co. I. W. B.





Corn and oats, equal parts in bulk,





half pound per day per head of old

process linseed oil meal would make

an excellent grain ration to feed with

your mixed hay. ,Feed carefully until

your horses gradually become accus-

tomed to a full ration. W. M. K.





 





SILO FOR TWO COWS.





.Would it pay to build a silo on twen-

ty acres of land to keep four cows and

two horses? If it would what size

would be best to build, or .wouldvit

pay better to raise beets to feed in” the

winter? I have about ten acres of

marsh grodnd that I can use for pas-

ture after. about the first of June till

the middle of October. The balance,

of the year I have to keep. them on the

twenty acres of high ground. , -



Gratiot Co. C. F. J.



As a general proposition it would

not pay to build a silo fol-‘less than six,

or eight cows. One cannot feed oi!

sufficient silage from the surface to

prevent too much" less from- decay.

You would probably find it more prof-

itable to grow root crops for feeding

than to build a silo, unless‘yOu can

make plans to keep more cows. ‘

MANGELS IN RATION FOR DAIRY



COWS.





 





What do I need to balance up my

ration for dairy cows of the Jersey

type, and how much will I feed? My

feed consists of roughage, cornstalks,

bean straw and clovex hay, grain, oats

and corn with man-gels.



Cass Co. A. B C.



As long as you have no corn silage

to furnish succulency, mangles are a

very valuable paxt of the ration, not

because of their food value particular-

ly, but on account of their succulency

They help to keep the digestive or-

sans in good healthy condition.



Your g1 am ration of oats, barley and

corn do not furnish a sufficient amount

of portein to balance the ration of

cornstalks, bean straw and clover hay. .

To get the best results you should add

cottonseed meal, oil meal or gluten

feed to this grain ration. My advice

SQM E GOOD STEERS.





 





DLF GALINSKY, a Pellston cat~



tle buyer, recently purchased



from the Thomas Quinlan & Sons Co.

farm near Pellstnn, thirteen head of

grade Angus steers which he shipped

to Chicago with one hundred and sev-

en other cattle, four carloads in all.

For the thirteen grade Angus steers

he paid the highest price ever paid in

. northern Michigan for cattle; double

the price paid for the one hundred and

seven head. The thirteen head made

him more money. than the remaining

one hundred and seven. In fact, with

out the thirteen steers he would have

lost money on the four carloads.





The sale of the good cattle at the





stock yards was quick and the price

good, while the sale of the inferior cat-

tle dragged, and price was one-half as

much per pound.



These cattle were the result of one

cross between distinctly scrub mothers

and a pure-bred 's'ire.

ing them to two years old was less

than the coSt of raising the scrubs.

rience, seen on the live stock markets





every day, why not help good old Em-'

sEc‘oND EDITION.-





 





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday after-

noon, _February 13.





WHEAT.





Continued dry weather is causing

some uneasiness in the minds of the

bears because of, the likelihood of a

lack of moisture for wheat and for the

starting of spring grains under normal

conditions. There is, however, little

activity in wheat circles and the flour

trade is exceedingly dull. The visible

supply of this grain shows a decrease

of 1,311,000 bushels for. the past week.

The price for No. 2 red wheat on, the

Detroit market one year ago was $2.17.

Present Detroit prices are:





 





No. 2 red ............... $2.30

No.2 mixed 2.28

No. 2 white ...... . . . . . . 2.28





CORN.





Farmers are feeding their corn in—

stead of marketing it. This fact is

causing trouble to commission men

who are short on the cash grain. There

is very little corn in country elevators.

The United States visible supply de-

creased 595,000 bushels during the

week. One year ago the trade was

paying $1.80 for N0. 3 corn on the De-

troit market. Present values on the

local market are: ‘





No.3 corn .............$1.30



No.’ 3 yellow ............ 1.35



No. 4 yellow ............ 1.30



No. 5 yellow ..... 1.25



No. 6 yellow 1.20



No. 3 white ............ 1.33

Chicago prices are slightly lower

than a week ago as follows: No. 3





yellow $1.20@1.22; No. 4 yellow $1.16

@1.19; May corn $11294; July $1.093/g.





OATS.





A revival of interest in the shipping

demand would aid materially in bring-

ing this market to life. As it is there

is very little demand from domestic

sources and with foreign calls elimi—

nated offerings are not quickly sold.

Fortunately farmers are not selling

and prices are a fraction higher than

those for last week. Standard oats

sold here a year ago at 891/2c. Present

prices are:



Standard ...........-..60%,

No.3 white ,..............60

No.4white ...59





RYE.





Further declines have taken place

the past week and holders of the grain

seem sorry that they did not sell ear—

lier. Detroit’s quotation for cash No.

2 is now $1.42 per bushel.





BEANS.





Sharp declines in bean quotations

have failed to revive the demand to

any large degree. Rumors of middle-

men manipulation are being taken up

with the department at Washington.

Michigan pea beans are moving slowly

on the New York market at $8.25 for

pea beans of choice quality and for

choice mediums. The present Detroit

quotation is $7 at country loading

points and at Chicago where the buy-

ers are loath to take hold the quota-

tion for choice Michigan pea beans is

$7@7.50 and for red kidneys $11.50@12





per cwt.

HAY.





An active demand gives the hay

trade a steady tone with prices un-

changed as follows: No. 1 timothy

$26.50@27.; standard timothy $25.50@

26; No. 2 do $24.50@25; No. 1 mixed

$24.50@25; No. 1 clover $23.50@24. At

Pittsburgh receipts are running lighter

but remain equal to the demand, with

quotations as follows: No. 1 timothy

Eggs.——The ,egg'market is erratic

and fluctuating, which is usual at this

season of the year. Receipts at the

beginning of the week were large

which caused a sharp break in prices.

Later in the week shipments were

held up in the west because of colder

weather which, with the demand, tend!

ed to strengthen the market._ There

has been brisk trading during the

week and early accumulations were

fairly well cleared out. There is a con-

siderable accumulation of current re-

ceipts at the present time, however.

The average price of western eggs is,

at present, 45%@46%c. Some ‘lots of

extra good quality are bringing 47%

@48c. v '

Poultry.~—The supply of light fowls

has been somewhat limited this week.

Heavy fowls have been in good supply“

Fine quality heavy fowls are selling

readily at 31@32c, but the average

western fowl brings only 30c. Old

roosters are quoted at 220.. Turkeys

are quoted at 30@350; ducks at 35@‘

_ Gentlemen:--

$3“; I have tried all kinds of air:

rations for my Guernsey her , in-

cluding those suggestedby Cornell

and the best known breeders in the

country. Every time I come back to

Unicorn better satisfied than ever.

I am now through experimenting

with feed mixtures of others who

think they can beat it either for

economy,yield or condition of herd,

because I know that the don’t know

what they are talking 3 out. “they

would all stop fussing around with

half baked theories and give Unicorn

agood honest and unprejudiccd feed»

ing test for 90 days, [know that they

would agree with my statements a

that: it would show them how to save

money and time,and their herds would

do better in yield and condition, with





from eight years experience with Unicorn.

I- have also tried all the other rations said

to be just as good, and Unicorn for me





every time. Yours truly,





Every feeder of Unicorn says as much as

MnCoQfishall writes. Theyall like Unicorn.
