Michigan can be expressed in an au-

thoritative, sane way and through

which the farmers of the state may act

collectively to improve their economic

and social interests.



At the present time the “greatest dan-

ger confronting this new and powerful

organization is that of allowing the De-

partment of Agriculture through its

county agents to have too great an in-

fluence in deciding the policies of the

state and national federations of farm

bureaus. But so long as the hundreds

of farmers belonging to the farm bu-

reaus of the different counties retain

control of their organizations there

need be no danger in that regard. As

a matter of fact, the bringing together

of the farm bureaus should serve to



correct a condition that is





 





alone in his farm oper-

ations, but in his dealings

with other organized in-

terests.



For several years the

chief function of the coun-

ty farm bureau has been

to devise: means of raising

funds to help pay the coun-

ty agricultural agent, an

efficiency man sent out by

the educational branch of

should not the varied agricultural in-

terests of the United States be com—

bined into a streng national organi-

by speculators who buy large quanti-

ties of food products and appeal to the

government to advance prices after the

products are safely stored in their





warehouses or aid them in crawling

out from under a falling market.

These gentlemen who were selected

as officers of the new state farm bu-

reau clearly have no other desire than

to build up a strong farm organization

through which the farm sentiment of

counties, and that is car-

Plainly, then, the first

step toward a thoroughly

efficient national farmers’

organization—one capable

of united effort—is for the

farmers to join together in

selecting the strongest

men in their respective

counties to represent them

in their county farm bu-

reaus. If all the farmers

who are new members of

some type of farm organi-

zation would unite to make

their county and state farm

bureaus sufficiently strong to reflect

the agricultural conditions and require.

ments of their respective counties and

states they would have a tremendous

power both poltiically and economi-

cally.

counties and state. They are made up

CURRENT COMMENT





RESIDENT WII.~

SON'S reasonable

request that congress

refrain from the dis-

cussion of proposed

covenant of a League

of Nations as reported to the Peace

Conference by the committee of which

he was chairman, until he could have

opportunity to explain to them its pro-

visions as discussed and understood by

the representatives of the nations

which formulated them, has been disre-

garded. A number of senators could

not await a fair consideration of the

plan before hastening to condemn it as

impossible of approval by the United

States, Some party conventions, in-

cluding one recently held in Michigan,

have likewise placed their stamp of

disapproval upon the plan.

In other words, self-appointed politi—

cal leaders have in this way sought to

make the proposed League of Nations

:1 political issue, which properly it is

not in any sense of the word. Regard-

less of the merits of the plan this ef-

Ifort should be deprecated and discour-

aged by the people of the United States.

And it will be. Intelligent American

public opinion will dictate the course

of our representatives at the Peace

Conference in formulating a final plan

for an effective League of Nations, if

they desire such a league, and of the

'United States Senate in the ratifica-

tion of the plan which may be adopted

in accord with that opinion. And they.

will obey.

The formulation of a plan for a

League of Nations by a committee of

the Peace Conference was without

. doubt the result of an overwhelming

sentiment among the people of war

. stricken Europe in favor of any plan

which promises to make it more diffi-

_ cult, if not impossible, for ambitious

or designing rulers, ’ruling classes 01'

parties to precipitate war on a reluc-

taut world. And if the people of those

countries believe the proposed cove-

pant will accomplish that desired to;

82.00 butter inspection and standardization





system which is expected to be put in-

to effect on butter within the next few

weeks, and eventually to be extended

to the egg trade. This new service is

to be introduced in forty-six cities

where government inspectors will keep

in close touch with all branches of the

tirade, and work for the standardiza-

tion of grades in all markets, so that

an extra grade of butter in Chicago or

Detroit will be of the same quality as

an extra grade ~in New York 01' Phil-

adelphia. "



The Bureau of Markets explains that

there is no intention on its part to as-

sume any of the functions of the late

food administration by any legislation,

nor does it desire to have any of its

arbitrary regulations transferred to

this new branch of its work.



The staff of. government inspectors

to be appointed is a large one and this

activity of the bureau is to be followed

closely. The service is to be perform—

ed by inspectbrs and largely at the re-

quest of the producer and some of the

buyers who may have disputes with

the seller.



Such a service, if conducted along

practical lines, and not made arbitrary,

is sure to become of considerable value

in improving the quality of American

butter and helping to stabilize the mar:

kets, as well as encouraging consump-

tion, at a time when substitutes are

making serious inroads in the use of

butter. The sale of inferior butter at

high prices has done more than any

one thing to cause consumers to turn

to substitutes, and the new move to

standardize butter is a step in the right

direction.

.1:





HE day of the farmer who “don't

care” how things go, is past, as

was demonstrated in the survey

held on 453 Lenawee county farms by

the Office of Farm Management, and

the day of the farmer who uses his





7 brain in cooperation with his hands





has arrived.



The studies included 300 farms oper-

ated by owners of the soil they tilled,

and 153 farms managed by tenants.

Since 1t «was in Lenawee county that

Michiganfs pioneer agricultural en-

deavors took place, the, region being

settled as early as 1836, and having

passed through the several periods of

evolution from forest to specialized

and diversified conditions, the county

offers a very good field for study, and

from the survey made under the super-

vision of H. M. Dixon and J, A. Drake,

of the Office of Farm Management,

several helpful points were discovered.

which are being used to show the way

to success to thousands of farmers in

sections where conditions are quite

similar to those of Lenawee county.



The survey shows that general

farming with a liberal amount (if

dairying is on the average the type

most easily made profitable; that spe-

cialized dairy farms pay better than

dairy and grain farms, but not so well

as the combination of dairying and

hog raising. Dairying with hogs and

grain was found to yield a better labor

income than any other combination.

The advantages of this kind of farms

ing are greater diversity of income,

a large percentage of receipts from

sale of live stock and animal products,

a small amount ofthe whole crops be-

ing sold off the farm, but the large

percentage being fed out and returned

to the soil as fertilizer, thus being re-

turned to insure the next season’s

profits and yields.



There has existed in the minds of

some men a doubt as to whether there

is direct relation between the amount

of capital invested and the labor in-

come of the farmer. 0n siXty-six own-

er farms studied in this survey, with

sixty acres and under and averaging





forty-five acres in‘ area, made an aver-.





age labor income of $277; the group of

124 owner farms from sixty-one to 100

acres and averaging eighty-four acres

in area, made an average labor in-

come of $445; while“ the group of

farms of more than 100 acres, averag-

ing 223 acres in area, made an average

labor income of $1,047. This goes to

show the influence in the size of the

business“ as measured in terms of the

size of theffarms.



, 0n the other hand, sixty-seven farms

with an average investment of $4, 850,

made an average labor income of $276;



fifty-four farms, with an average iii-

vestment of $12, 813, made an average

labor" income of $488; and thirty-one,





'of $1,139. _

By Earle G. le'Z/iams





farms, with an average investment of

$27,134, made an average labor income

Which goes to. show the





The survey shows that the besetting

sin of farmers of this section is the

sale or surplus crepe direct, rather

than feeding them out and selling a

high-priced meat animal, thus convert-

ing the crops into greater profits. Al-





though primarily a live stock section,

Lenawee county has





many farmers

who continue to receive from ten to

thirty per cent of their total income

from the sale of surplus crops, where-

as their location would permit dietri-

butiOn of finished meat animals or of

dairy products under exceptionally fav-

orable conditions.



Wheat, oats and corn are the lead-

ing farm crops of Lenawee county. A1-

falfa leads as the special crop, and it

is very promising to note the increase





 





in popularity of this crop, at least a

small acreage being found on nearly

every One of the 453 farms considered.

Soy beans do well on all soils of the

county, and make a very valuable win-

ter feed for the live stock, especially

for starting feeder lambs in the fall.

Cowpeas are making profits for farm-

ers on sandy soils, and the acreage

should be increased.



It was found in Lenawee county

that the farmers with a capital rang-

ing from $1,000.to $7,000 make better

labor incomes by renting their farms

than by owning them. No tenants

were found with a capital of over

$7,000, but up to that'sum the data

shows considerable advantage for the

tenants as compared with men with an

equal capital who own their farms.

This is because the renter farms are

larger than the corresponding owner

farms. The tenant with his money

used as working capital can conduct a

larger business than he would be able

to do if the same capital were divided

between land and working capital.



The survey shows that the- invest-

ment on share-rented tenant farms av-

erages nearly $3,000 more than on own-

ed, farms. The acreage value is about

the same. There is no great variation

in the distribution of capital on these

farms from that on the owned farms.





- total receipts of the 453 farms studied.





The landlord shares a part of the live

stock investment on all share-rented

farms. A comparison of the yields up-

on oWned and share-rented farms

shows only avslight advantage to the

share-rented farms, the cash-rented

farms being the lowest producers.

Dairy cows are the most important

kind of live stock on the average Lena-

wee county farm. Hogs are second

and horses third. An average of eight

cows is kept per farm, or 38.7 per

cent of the total animal units; brood

sows average over two per cent; oth-

er hogs 17, and all kinds together 18.

Horses constitute over fifteen per cent,

sheep averaging 11.5 per cent, and

young dairy stock six per cent. It was

found that the average farm had a

flock of poultry averaging 115 head.

Taking an average of 300 owner and

153 tenant farms, dairy products bring

the farmers the largest income. Hogs

rank second, wheat third, with poultry

products fourth. In fact, dairy pro-

ducts brought nearly one-third of the





The survey also shows that the size

of the business conducted is a very im-

portant factor in determining the in

come of the average farm. Unless

there is a reasonably large volume of

business, there is not sufficient founda-

tion for a satisfactory income. A large

business when properly conducted,





gives opportunity for securing large re-‘





turns, while, in a similar manner, if

ineiiiciently managed, a large farm

may result in heavy losses.



In the majority of sections such as

Lenawee county, where the general

typeof farming prevails, there is a re-

lation between the size of the farm

and the net returns. Larger acreages

up to certain limits permit better use

of labor and implements.

greater income for the owner than

where a small farm is handled inten-

sively, which demands heavier over-

head expense for hired labor, while

the larger acreage is used to more effi-

ciently bring a higher acreage income.



In Lenawee county the survey shows

that the average farm income of the

300 working owners advances rapidly

and uniformly as the farms increase in

acreage, while the average labor in-

come increases rapidly until the farms

reach 100 acres, remaining about the

same for the next higher size and

again increasing rapidly in the group

of farms of about 160 acres. The six-

ty-six farms of sixty acres and less,

and an average of forty-five acres each,

made a clear profit of $540, which af-

ter deducting five per cent interest on

farm and equipment, leaves an aver-

age labor income of $277. The 124

farms in the group of sixty-pne to 100

acres, and an average of eighty-four

acres, made an average farm income

of $922 and an average labor income

e1 150 acres, ave1ag1ng 223 acres, made

an average farm income of $2, 272, and

an average labe1 income of $1, 047.

This goes to show that the large

farms are yielding the greatest labor

incomes for their owners and opera-

tors, but that these require very good

management, is obvious. The greater

the acreage the greater the expenses;

nevertheless, the operating expense

per acre, as Well as the expense for

upkeep and repairs are less per acre

on the large than on the small farm.

It is here again that we see that the

size of the business beComes a decid-

ing factor in the efficient and profit-

able management of the farm.



There is no other one factor of such

great importance and none having so

direct a bearing upon labor income as

the income per cow tent, on' farms de-

voted to dairying as the leading busi-

ness. This fact stands out in all the

reports of the Office of Farm Manage-

ment. In the Chester County Pennsyl-

vania, survey, the income per cow was

shown definitely to be one of the most

important factors of success on the

dairy farms of that section. The in-

formation gathered in LenaWee county

Show that the labor income on dairy

farms of that section bear a direct re-

lation to income per cow.

Considering the owner-operated

farms, the thirty-eight farms with av-

eiage 1eceipts of $29 per cow made an

average labor income of $245 per fa1 m,

the thirty- -seven farms with receipts=

1anging from $40 to $50, and averaging

$46 per cow, made an average labor in-

come of $361; the thirty five farms

with average leceipts of $56 per cow

made an ave1 age labor income of $401;

the thirty- -seven faims with average

1eceipts of $65 per cow. made an aver-

age lab01 income of $542; the forty-

one farms having average receipts of

$79 per cow made an average labor in-

come of $915; while the twenty-four

farms with average receipts of $105

per cow made an average labor income

of $1,053. This shows a constant in-

crease in labor income when the av-

eiage receipts per cow increase.



Lenawee county results bring home

the fact that the farmers have not

been quick enough to soothe vital

necessity of cow-testing associations.

The most profitable line of improve-

ment for these farmers, according to

the figures shown, would be keeping

dairy records of individual production,

followed by the elimination of the un-

profitable cows. The report shows that

one-fourth of the dairy farms in this

county keep cows giving less than $50

income. The herds should be syste-

matically bred upward, since it has

been demonstrated that the production

per cow is the very essential factor in

dairy profits. ‘

alfalfa stock.



The part that cash crops play in any

farming venture is important, whether

sold direct or through live stock. The

price of crops and of live stock con-

trols the method the farmer follows. ‘

When hogs are high and corn cheap, -‘

corn is sold through the hog; when

corn is high and hogs cheap, corn is I

sold direct. This means that some

farmers carry the plan to such ex— ,

tremes that they almost ruin their land '

for need of fertilizer. It has been

found that the man who sticks to live

stock feeding for twenty years will

make more real profit than the man

who follows the silver dollars. But ._ ,

this does not mean that the farmer '

should not have surplus crops to sell.



The successful tiller of the soil is able

to judge for himself the better method.

Manner of Injury.



Grasshoppers, both young and old,

injure crops by gnawing and devour-

ing almost every green thing in sight.

The writer has known them to eat

the leaves from peach trees and then

strip the 'flesh from the ripening fruit

leaving just the pits hanging on the

trees. Even the bark on the tender

twigs is eaten by these ravenous in-

sects, which have'been known to gnaw

the handles of pitchforks, hoes, and

rakes, in‘order to secure the salt left

upon them. by the perspiring hands of

the farmer.

even trees have not been immune from

destruction. The species doing the

most damage, known as the (Lesser

Migratory Locust. is widely distribute

ed in the United States and parts of

Canada and Mexico. This creature is

a' yellowish insect, having its legs part-

ly tinged with a bright reddish hue. Rs

back is brown and the hind wings are

colorless. This insect with a few re-

lated species did a lot of damage in

the state last summer. There were

reports of damage from various parts

of the state but the worst destruction

occurred in the north central part of

the lower peninsula including all or

part of the following counties: Em-

eventually died three summers ago in

Cheboygan county. Clover had been

planted as. a cover crop and the ’hop—

pers were having a feast on it at the

time it was cut. Then they flew to the

only remaining green food, the leaves

on the apple trees. Not

the leaves stripped but the fruit was

attacked and large irregular holes eat-

en to the core. About the same thing

happened this past summer in Benzie

county. Any number of cases have

been reported of grasshoppers eating

the silk off of forming ears of corn.

In still other localities they didn’t stop

with the silk but ate the leaves, stalk

and all. In speaking of the work of

the grasshoppers, in one part of the

state, one county agent said, “Our

farmers have been teased with frost

and drought to a hitherto unknown ex-

tent but the thing that caused them

the greatest loss is the grasshopper.

I have never seen such a sight as this

year. Oat and rye fields have been lit-

with moWers for bedding. Cabbages,

onions, rutabagas, beans, peas, etc.,

have been eaten from the face of the

earth until the ground stood so bare

that a person would think, that there

had nothing been planted on it. I_

Here’s [he Rubber Footwear

for Outdoor Workers





There’s a warmth and comfort in U. S. “Protected” rub-

ber footwear that means much to outdoor workers. No

matter how dirty the weather, no matter how rough the

going, this sturdy, heavy-service “U. S.” gives solid foot-

protection.





U. S. “Protected” rubber footwear is specially built to stand

wear and tear. It’s the double-duty kind of rubber footwear,

reinforced for longer serviCe—the kind that positively keeps

out the wet and chill of snow, slush or mud underfoot. Dur-

ing the war, the Government probably used more U. S. “Pro-

tected” rubber footwear than of all other makes combined.





Every pair of U. S. “Protected” rubber boots bears the

“U. S. Seal”-——trade mark of the largest rubber manufacturer

in the World. Look for this seal. It insures “U. S. Protec-

tion,” saves your money, safeguards your health.





Wear U. S. “Protected” rubber footwear and be practical.

U. S. “Protected” rubber footwear comes in}

all kinds and styles suited to the special needs

'of all who work in the open. Your dealer

has the kind you want or can get it quickly.

Farmers





AM presuming, though without any

express notice, that the work of the





has ended. The necessity “for some

mediator, for some guardian of "the

American farmer,‘ however, is greater

today than it has been at any time

during the war. '



There never has been an hour when

the farmers of this country were more

threatened, nor less prepared for de-

fem-1e than at this moment.



Let us brieflly review some of the

conditions that. surround them:



1. Labor is thoroughly organized in

the cities, and is demanding a contin-

uance of war-time wages with but

forty-four hours work each week. This

means a contagion of like conditions

on farms, or a migration of farm labOr

to the cities.



2. The dense ignorance of the con-

suming public upon the actual cost of

production of farm crops, resulting in

the prevailing general sentiment that

the farmer is a greedy profiteer.



3. The great dissimilarity in wages

paid in this and. other countries for

farm labor. The pay for farm help in

this country being from twice to four

times as much as in countries with

whom our surplus must compete.



4. The lack of organization among

farmers, and the lack of federation

among the organizations that do exist





.1 and of the interests.





, 5. The increasing cheapness of mon-

ey that has absorbed much of what

«has seemed an increase of price for

farm produce.





6. The labor of wife, children and

over hours of farmer and hired men,

that have goneinto farm productions

and for which in pre-war years no

. charge has been made. These resulted

in low prices, far below actual cost

had any estimate been made of them.





7. The depleted fertility of our soil,

owing to the extra cropping of' fields

to supply food during the last three

years. Commercial fertilizers have

been out of consideration, and ordinary

rotation of crops quite forgotten.



8. The reluctance of returning sol.

diers to go back to the farms. The

rewards are not promising, and the

seclusion of farm life too great a

change from the social and stirring life

of camp and field.



9. The seemingly well saddled con-

trol over farm productions by the pack-

ers, wool combine, grain speculators

and great food interests of the country.

profit so much thereby;



' It does not understand that the farm-

er will not profit. The press has not

been shown this. It does not seem to

know that the winter Wheat/has been

planted with high cost seed,'with high

cost labor, and that the average crap

of fourteen bushels per acre last year

(a bumper year), would give the farm-

er no profit at $2.26.



The great question now before the

American farmer, is one of survival.

His worst enemies are ‘not bugs, blight

and drouth, but they are politics, sel-

fishness of controlling interests, his





complete servil'ity to'the men who fix -





the price of‘ his products. If I were

to suggest some immediate and easy

remedies that could be made effective,

'I would not seek to revolutionize any«

thing. My first suggestion would be

organization. This requires no change

of religion or politics.



A. Join some farm organization

Join the one nearest home where you

can attend and be a neighbor and 'a

good fellow. The Grange, the Gleam

ers, the Farmers’ Club, the Equity,

the Union, the Milk Producers’ Asso-

ciation. rJoin one or all of them if you

can. Get into the game, and do not

stand on the side lines and expect your

neighbors to fight all the battles for

you. '



B. When you have become a mem-

ber of any of these organizations, stand

for some kind of federation of them

that Will call fo1 united demands upon

congress, upon legislatures, upon the

Department of Agriculture, upon the

President, for a square deal.



C. AbhorBolshevism and the red

flag. Take pride in the dignity and

honor that belong to American Agricul-

tule, and seek to do your bit in main-

taining it, by enlisting in some organi‘

zation of farmers.



If the farmers of America were thus





organized, if they would become social ‘

equals instead, of independent slaves;

they would have no trouble «in making.

known their righteous demands and in ‘

getting a quick hearing. Howling and





haying at the moon will avail nothing.





 





CLOVER SEED SCARCE.





 





THERE is not enough red-clover

seed to meet the demands upon

that important legume as a restorer of

soil fertility to American farms fol-

lowing the strain of war-time condi-

tions—mot enough, that is, unless the

farmers practice economy and good

judgment in its use. Both the carry-

over and the current crop of red-clo-

ver seed appear to be below normal,

while the need for seeding a large

acreage to red clover in the middle

and nmthern states is greater than

for several years.

A SUBSTITUTE CROP FOR HAY.





 





Please advise me what crop to sow

03, grOund where the new seeding fall-

I would prefer some crop that

would take the place of hay.

Gladwin Ce. - C. H. D.

About the surest and best crop that

can be grown as a substitute crop for

hay is Canada field peas and oats mix-





'; ed equal parts by weight and sown at





the rate of two and one half bushels to

the acre. Peas, if enred for hay when

the pods are nicely formed, make just

about as good a ration as clover hay

and, the cows like them. If We add

some oats so as to help hold the peas

up, then they can be harvested with a

mowing machine as readily as clover

hay. This crop should be cut when the

oats are in the milk and the peas are

just nicely podded, and cured and hand-

led as you would clover ‘hay. They





,ought to be sown 311st as early in the





Spring as you can prepare the land;

the earlier the better, if soil conditions

are right.



A good crop of millet makes a good

fair substitute for hay. This can be

sown as late as the latter part of June.

Hungarian grass is the best variety.

This should be sown thickly so that

the plants will not grow too coarse

and it should be cut when in blossom.

Do not allow the seeds to form before

cutting, and mature the same as hay.



Another plant that is coming into

use in this climate is soy beans. They





‘can be sown in drills or sown broad-





caét. Most‘people prefer to plant them

in drills twenty-eight inches apart and

cultivate, then when the pods are nice-

ly formed they can be cut for hay and

cured the same as clover hay, or you

can let them ripen and save the seed

for grain and the straw then makes a

pretty good substitute for hay._

GROWING CALVES WITHOUT

MILK. »





 





I have seven calves that I bought,

from two weeks’ to two months old.

They were bought of neighbors when

about four days’ old, and I am trying

to raise them " without skim~milk. I

only have, say, about two gallons of

milk a day to feed them. I have tried

feeding ground oats with hulls sifted

out, have fed it dry, and also have fed

it cooked, adding salt, but it scoured

the calves so badly that I' quit that

and bought 25 pounds of calf meal and‘

have fed it according to directions,

but the calves seem to get thinner and

if I try to increase so the calves will

pick up, that scours them. Three of

these calves are two months old and

they eat clover hay and grain, but stay

thm, ,andare pot-bellied, and if I try

to crowd them they get scoured. Is

there any feed that I could buy and

feed and save the calves?



Gratiot Co. F. E, N,





It is certainly a difficult task to grow

good calves without any milk. Milk is

the natural food for young animals. It

has been done,,and it can be done, but

they do not grow as well, especially at

first, and' you need not expect that

your calves are going to keep as fat

ground oats, ground wheat, barley,

corn, wheat middlings, oil meal, gluten

meal, in fact, as many different grains

as you can get, mixed together, give

the. best results. When the calf is

quite young it is better to make a por-

ridge by boiling this mixture of grains,

leaving it in the form of a rather thin





porridge so that the calf can drink it‘





readily. If your grain ration was cook-

ed and fed in the form of porridge, I

don’t believe you would have as much

trouble about digestion as you are now

having.



In an early day people made hay tea

for calves, that is, they actually boiled

the hay and fed them this tea. Here,

you see, they would get the 'vitimines

from the green leaves which would in

a large measure, take the place of

milk. Young’ calves ought to have new

milk for the first two weeks of their

lives, then they can gradually be

weaned from new milk to skim-milk,

and at three or four weeks of age you

can take the skim-milk away from

them by/substituting this combination

of grains and hay, or any other dry

forage that they will consume, then

gradually teach them to eat whole

grain, like oats and corn, and give this

to them extra besides their por1idge.

OATS AND BARLEY FOR GRAIN

RATION.





 





I am feeding silage, clover hay and

straw for rough feed, and oats and bai-

ley for grain. How could I feed to get

more milk?



-Montcalm Co. _ R. B.





It would be impossible to furnish a

sufficient amount of protein with bar-

ley and oats for grain and corn silage,

clover hay and straw for roughage, un-

less you fed a sufficient amount so that

there would be a waste of carbohy-

drates. Consequently, it would pay to

purchase oil meal or cottonseed meal

or gluten feed as a part of the grain

ration because these feeds are much

richer in protein than barley or oats.





I would suggest that you ni’ix oats,

barley and bran equal parts by weight,

that is, one hundred pounds of ground

oats, one hundred pounds of ground

barley and one hundred pounds of bran

and then feed the cows two pounds of

cottonseed meal or two pounds of oil

meal a day and a sufficient amount of

the oat, barley and bran mixture to

give each cow a pound of grain per day





for every three pounds of milk which ’





she produces, in a day. I am confident

that this added amount‘ Of protein will

so improve your ration that you will

get better results. C. C. L.

.jing credits as other business men;

The very nature of farming makesit

necessary that” a farmer be given cred-

it extending over a. long period of

years, and as a rule local banks are

not willing to make Along—time, loans.

The loans made by the Federal Land

Bank are made for such a length of

time as to cut out worries and uncer-

tainties connected with the customary

short-teim loans.



The farmers of Michigan are served

by the Federal Land Bank at St. Paul.

pays a small portion on the principal

every time he pays his interest. These;

small payments will pay off the entire

sum in thirty-four and one‘half years,

but the farmer has the privilege of

paying back his loan at any time he

wishes.



It is comparatively easy for the

farmer to get a government loan. He

has only to become amember of the

National Farm Loan Association.

Should there be no National Farm

Loan Association already organized in

your territory you will find your coun-

ty agent very willing to assist you in





PPARENTLY, from reports made



to the Department oh Agricul-



ture, the farmers throughout the

country are using the motor truck ev-

en where they could use the railroad,

‘because of the quicker and better ser-

vice obtained.



The moior truck is used particularly

for live stock, but a lot of freight of

other kinds lfi ‘being transported.



The department says motor truck

companies have been formed in many

towns and cities within a radius of

fifty miles of Omaha to meet the de-

mands of farmers for such service.

These companies are developing not





. only the .live stock trade, but also a





“back haul” trade of groceries, mer-

chandise and general freight, such as

feeds, fertilizers and farm supplies. On

one morning this winter between 5:30

and 8:00 o’clock forty truckloads of

live stock were delivered at the Omaha

yards, and of this number nineteen of

the vehicles Were owned by farmers.





Profitable Despite High Rates.



The charges for hauling stock by

motorwary with the distance. Some

companies’charge a flat rate of twen-

ty-five cents a hundred pounds, and

add one cent per hundred pounds per

mile. Other firms charge by the load,

from $10 to $15 for the trip, depending

on the distance and the number of an-

imals carried. Although the rates are

considered extremely high, as the

truck hauler charges fifty to sixty

cents a hundred weight, compared with

a twelve- to- fifteen- cent freight rate,

still the farmers seem to find the mo-

tor truck method profitable





A standard two-ton truck will carry

about twenty head of hogs. The floor

space when small stock, such as sheep

and hogs are transported is increased

by deuble-decking As a rule, the mot-

or express companies operate trucks

of four or five tons capacity, while the

vehicles owned by farmers usually

carry one or two tone.



Figures indicate how the motor





g ' truck delivery of: live stock at the

, ‘ South Omaha yards has increased in:

. the last- two years.

i . midis 01: 1917 there were only 52,129





In the first nine

was an increase of ninety per cent in





 





the some period in 1918, 151212sz hogs;

getting one started. The Federal Land

Bank of St. Paul is anxious to aid any

group of farmers in organizing a. loan

associatidn, and it will furnish all of

the forms and blanks necessary, to—

gether with the services of an organ-

izer who will come to your county and





explain in' detail the method of opera:





tion of the farm loan system.



The question is often asked as to

whether one borrower is liable for any

other borrower. Each man is liable

and responsible for his own loan only.

Each borrower is required to buy stock





in the local association to the extent»





of five per cent of his loan. _If the as-

sooiation should become insolvent he

would become liable for this five per

cent. The money to pay for this stock

can be borrowed from the land banks

and is returned to the farmer in full

when his loan is paid off and it will

bear dividends. The cost of securing

a government loan is. comparatively

nothing and it costs but very little to

carry the loan along. Therate of in—

terest is five and one-half per cent. On

a $1000 loan the Semi-annual payments

are $32.50, and these payments will

entirely pay off the loan by the end

of thirty-four and one-half years.





These‘payments are the same that the _





farmers are now paying in many in-

stances simply as interest, but by tak-

ing out a loan £10m the Federal Land

Bank they will completely pay his loan

off.





Farmers Using More Trucks





being delivered by truck. The cattle



“drive in” from July to September, in-



clusive, 1917, was 12,189 head, and in



the same period in 1918, 17,681 cattle.

Hogs Directly from Farms.





The Cincinnati, Indianapolis and





Louisville markets receive a large part:





of their hogs directly from the farms

by motor trucks.





The custom in the Cincinnati Market





is to charge a flat rate of from $15 to

$30 a trip for the use of the large





truck to convey stock from fifteen to.





forty miles. A haul of forty-three

miles was made in four hours. The

cargo was hogs. The shrinkage was

from four to six pounds apiece—not

much compared with the former loss.



At Kansas City a marked increase in

the local “drive in” has resulted large-

ly from the increased use of motor

trucks. During the first eight months

of 1918, 72,887 hogs were handled by





motor truck and wagon, an increase of,





21,505 over the same period in 1917.



DenVer notes an increase of 223 per

cent in sheep, twelve per cent in hogs

and thirteen per cent in cattle in the

first eight months of 1918, compared

with 1917.



At St. Joseph, Mo., the “drive in”

during the last year has more than

doubled through the use of trucks. In

a single day at St. Joseph 1,400 hogs,

200 cattle and a considerable number

of sheep were brought to the market

in 190 motor trucks.



With good, permanent roads on the

boom in all parts of the country, and

transportation by truck more satisfac~

tory in every way, the department in-

vestigators believe the future promises

cheap and efficient marketing of stock

in power vehicles.





Shrinkage Less, Sales Quicker.



Two savings which are claimed for

the motor truck are: One, the ani-

mals are not en route long enough to

lose much weight. They are pretty

well cared for‘on the journey” and are

delivered in the yards in good condi-

tion. Two, the farmer is able to sell

the day he decides to market his stock.

He does not have to take chariees as

formerly in getting stock cars from





the railroad. and probably be held 11 '

OODYEAR’ S ability to build tubes that

last" long and hold air unfailingly is

dramatiCally related to the fact that Good—

year is. also a successful manufacturer of

balloons ”and dirigibles.





There is Sonnd ’basis'fOr such assertion. - Both

tubes and gas bags present problems of

inflation. ‘ . .~ ' ~ . . .





For nine years, Goodyear has pioneered the





furthering of aeronautics in this country._





‘In constructing these giant gas bags the

problemof inflation is exceedingly complex.





For the gas ofithe' balloon: is -more elusive

than air; harder to hold within rubber.





But it "has been conclusively established that

stout, light fabric, impregnated with rubber

and éuz'lt up ldyer-upoiz-layer; forms thermost

practical cot-itainer fOr this elusive'gas. ‘





Is it not quite logical, therefore, that this

same éuz'lt-up principle of construction should

be successfully applied to tubes whose sole

function his to hold air?





Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes are built on

this principle and their valve-patch is vulcan-

ized—2'72. Built up as they are with several

plies of. pure, gum, they are the best air

Containers we know of. -





There 312$ thousands of passenger-car owners





,who use Heavy Tourist Tubes exclusively,





gladly paying the slightly added cost in the

firm belief that they thus protect and get

more mileage from their tires.





More Goodyear Tubes are used than any

other kind.

9 Milk Pro eihs

By R: c. gREED

E believe that the first consid-





eration to both the milk produc-

er and the consumer, should be





our people ever think that there is any

moral obligation connected with the

milk business. According to the inves-

tigation of the best scientists and‘ex-

perimenters the well-being of the Am-

erican people depends more upon a.

large consumption of dairy products

than upon any other food product in

use at the present time. To maintain

the position as the greatest people of

the greatest nation that the world has

ever known we dairymen must acquit

ourselves like true noblemen.





In order to accomplish this purpose

we must leave the rut that has so long

been a hinderance to better production

and larger consumption. The reports of

the boards of health concerning infant

mortality show that for every Ameri-

can soldier lost on the battle front,

eleven American children die in their

homes as a result of a lack of their

bodies being properly nourished by the

use of milk. What a field—what an

opportunity—what a mission is ours!





The Price.



What will furnish an adequate return

is and must be a vital question, for ev-

ery successful business must have ‘in

it two vital and fundamental princi-

ples! First, a compensatory price, and

second, a. confidence which permeates

every part of the industry. The mis-

guided effort to gain a price has often

resulted in the destruction of the more

important factor—confidence in the

business.



Strikes may have been necessary in

the days gone by, but not since the be-

ginning and work of the Michigan Milk

Producers’ Association for we are now

confronted with the facts that despite

free and severe criticism by a part of

our people, we look back to find that

the Detroit price (which is and has

been the backbone of the milk market

of Michigan) is comparable to the

price obtained in any other similar lo»

cation. And we have avoided that most

expensive factor in all business econ-

omy—~the strike.



It is estimated by the Rural New

Yorker that the recent strike of sixty

thousand milk producers in the New

York Dairymen’s League cost in the

neighborhood of six million dollars.

This tremendous loss must, eventually,

come out of the milk business and like

the burdens of the recent war in Eu-

rope, these burdens must be borne by

the parties participating. The milk

business will suffer to this extent.



There is no question but that the

producer should have control of his

product and be in position to set the

price for which he will sell it. The

manufacturer of every other product

does this and nobody objects The

dealer is not forced to buy at the sell-

er’s price.



Surplus.



We are confronted at the present

time, by some of the distributors in

the city of Detroit, with the claim of a

serious surplus. How this surplus shall

be cared for is a question up for im-

mediate solution. Possibly before this

reaches the reader, action will be tak-

en by the Milk Commission, which con‘

venes on February 24 at the Board of





'Commerce, Detroit, which will handle





this question in a fair and impartial

manner, as has this Commission the





, ; other questions that have come before .

"it. Many of the locals in the’Detroitw





area have requested that their share of





'the surplus should be kept by them. -

The unfortunate and unreliable fea- ’





tures of this plan will at once present





 





 





the moral obligation. Yet how few of

the ’paSt summer. A farmer in Otsego

county had twenty-five acres of hay

until 'the ’hoppers came along. After

they had been there a short time he

cut it and drew it all to the barn in

a one-horse wagon. A neighbor of his

.had ten acres .of Alexander oats that

had just been inspected by Mr. Spragg

of M. A. 0., who said that they would

yield close to thirty-five bushels to the

acre. Shortly after, when the'heads

were turning, the grasshoppers flew in

and f‘almost like a forest-fire" destroy-

ed his oats. He managed to cut a few

small "bundles of straw but had no





seed at all. He lost his original seed '





as well as the maturing crop which

would have yielded well over three

hundred bushels. and seed at that time

was worth about seventy-five cents a

bushel. Likewise his straw and the

young seeding of clover was practical-

ly all destroyed. These acres were

robbed of a much needed fertilizer and

his plan of rotation was forcibly chang-

ed. Some farmers complained that

the ihoppers had eaten so much food

that some of the cattle had to be

sold.‘ A local creamery reported that

the receipts from milk were much less

than usual from lack of food for the

cows. One farmer reported that the

grasshoppers had cleaned him out of

$5,000, while more than one county

reported damage well over $30,000 for

the year, all laid up to that despot

with the ungovernable appetite, the

Lesser Migratory Locust.

Where Eggs Are Laid.



The grasshoppers lay their eggs in

and then die, egg-laying usually being

completed about the middle of Octo-

ber. Some species seek out compact

soil, more or less free from vegetation,

in which to lay their eggs, while'oth-

ers deposit their eggs'in bunches of

grass. Such areas are chosen because

they warm up rapidly in the morning

and because the insect can get a firm

foothold when boring a hole in the

ground in which to deposit its egg-cap-

sule. An area of a square foot has

been found to contain more than five

thousand eggs, while over one thou-

sand have been discovered in a clump

of grass not over two inches wide. The

eggs hatch out during the last of May

and the first part of June, the ’hoppers

losing no time in, starting to feed upon

any nearby succulent food. When they

first hatch theyare nearly white but

”CHANGE IN POTATO GRADES}.





 





THE 'p‘otato grades recommended by

the Department of Agriculture and

the United States Food Administra-

tion, on September 10, 1917, have been

changed slightly. The revised grade

specifications are stated below:

U. 8. Grade No. 1.



This grade shall consist of sound

potatoes of similar varietal character-

istics, which are practically free (a)

from dirt or other foreign matter,- frost

injury, sunburn, second growth, growth

cracks, cuts, scab, blight, soft rot, dry

rot and damage caused by disease, in-

sects or mechanical or other means.





The diameter (b) of potatoes of the

round varieties shall be not less than

one and seven-eighths. (17/3) inches,

and of potatoes of the long varieties,

one and three—fourths (1%) inches.



In order to allow for variations in— "

cident to commercial grading and

handling, five per centum by weight

of any lot may be under the prescrib-

ed size, and, in addition, six per cent-

um by weight of any such lot may be

below. the remaining requirements of-

this grade; but not more than one-

third of such six per centum, that is

to say, not more than two per centum

by weight of the entire lot, may have

the flesh injured by soft rot (d).



U. 8. Grade No. 2.



This grade shall consist of potatoes

of similar varietal characteristics.

which are practically free from frost

injury and soft rot, and which are free

from serious damage (0) caused by

sunburn, cuts, scab, blight, dry rot or

other disease, insects or mechanical

or other means.



The diameter (b) of potatoes in this

grade shall be not less than one and

one-half (11/3) inches.



In order to allow for variations in-

cident. ' to commercial grading and

handling, five per centum by weight

of any lot may be under the prescrib—

ed size, and in addition, six per cen-

tum‘by weight of any such lot may

be below the remaining requirements

of this grade; but not more than one-

third of such six per centum, that is

to say not more than tWO per centum

by weight of the entire lot, may have

the flesh injured by toft rot (d).



Explanation.





(a) “Practically free” means that

the appearance shall not be injured to

an extent readily apparent upon cas-

ual examination of the lot, that any.

damage from the causes mentioned

can be removed by the ordinary proc-

esses or paring without appreciable in-

crease in waste over that which would

occur if the potato were perfect. Loss

of the outer skin (epidermis) only

shall not be considered as an injury to

the appearance.



(b) “Diameter” means the greatest

dimension at right angles to the longiv

tudinal axis.



(0) “Free from serious damage”

means that any damage from the

causes mentioned can be removed by





* the ordinary processes of paring with-





out increase in waste 01" mone than ten .

per centum by weight over that which

would occur“? potato were perfect.



. ((1) “Soft rot” means a soft, mushy

.condition of the tissues, from what-

ever cause.

Feeds for

BUCKWHEAT'AS FOOD FOR DAIRY

cows.





What is the value of ground buck-

wheat to use in grain ration for dairy

cows? I have quite a large amount of

buckwheat and there is no sale for it

in my locality, neither can I get it

ground in flour as the mills decline to

grind it, and would like to know if it

could be ground-and mixed with other

grain and made a profitable ration for

dairy cows. I have ground oats and

barley and can buy wheat bran at $55

per ton. How does ground buckwheat

compare with wheat bran in protein

and could it be used profitably in place

of bran in making up a balanced ra—

tion? If so, will you please give me a

balanged ration made up of ground

oats, arley and ground buckwheat?



Wayne Co. E. J. R.



Whole buckwheat doesn’t differ ma-

terially from corn, oats or barley as a

food. Corn contains on an average 7.9

per cent protein, 66.7 per cent carbo-

hydrates and 4.3 per cent fat, or ether

extract. Buckwheat contains 7.7 per

cent protein, 49.2 per cent carbohy-

drates and 1.8 per cent fat. You will

notice that it contains practically the

same per cent of protein but does not

contain as much starch and sugar and

fat. Pound for pound, then, it would

be richer in protein than corn and

would be a little more valuable in bal-

ancing a ration composed of ordinary

roughage foods. When buckwheat is

made into flour and the middlings bolt-

ed out, the middlings contain the chit

or germ of the seed, which is much

richer in protein than the balance of

the food so that buckwheat middlings

contain twenty-two per cent protein,

33.4 per cent carbohydrates and 5.4

per cent fat. Here we have a splen-

did food to help balance a ration that

contains too large a per cent of car-

bohydrates.



E. J. R. does not give the roughage

foods of the ration and so very little

information can be given as to balanc-

ing the ration, but it can,readily be un

derstood that ground buckwheat won’t

take the place of Wheat bran or oil

meal or cottonseed meal to balance the

ration. It is more of the same nature

as cats 01' barley or corn. It can be

used as a substitute for any of these

three foods, but should be combined

with oil meal or cottonseed meal if

you want to increase the protein con-

tent of the ration. C. C. L.





 





TEN COWS ON TWENTY ACRES.





Can I keep ten cows on twenty acres

of land, good, but sandy? If so, how

would I go about it? I have no silo

and no pasture to speak of. For my

part I think it can be done. I hope

you will advise me what to sow and

pflarit, as I am anxious to make a go

o 1.



Wayne Co. J. L.



It is not impossible to keep ten cows

on twenty acres. In fact, more inten~

sive dairying has actually been done

than this would be. But you can’t'take

an ordinary twenty acres of land where

no previous planting has been done by

way of crops and accomplish this at

once. You have got to gradually work

into it. You say you have no silo,





'but for this intensive da'irying a silo





isabsolutely necessary to give the best

results and you oughtto have one this

summer so that you can fill it this fall.





You 'do- not say whether youxhavé a





" clever meadow on this farm or not. or





what the crops are. If there is. nothing

on the" land at. all I would :«proceed

something like this;





 





 





,3? .

r





the ’ Cow





parts by weight, and seed it with clo-

ver, and sow at the rate of two bushels

per acre. As soon as this gets large

enough you can use part of them as a.

soiling crop and the balance can be cut

and cured for hay. As soon as these

peas and oats are harvested disc the

ground up thoroughly and plant to en-

slla’ge com. If the season is unfavor-

able it may be dlfllcult to save mois-

ture enough so that the corn will start

well, but a great many years this can

be done. If you have a silo already

built, or would build one early this

spring, you could put these peas and

oats into the silo and have them to

feed all summer, then you would get

this crop off early enough so that you

could grow a crop of ensilage corn.-



1 would take five acres and plant it to

ensilage com. If you have good luck

with the corn following the peas, this

may make more ensilage corn than you

need, but it can be cured for dry fod-

der if you can’t get it into the silo.-

This five-acre field planted to ensilage

corn should be sown to rye just as soon

as the silo is filled, then next spring

this rye can be made into ham or put

into the silo and the ground fitted and

put into ensilage corn.



For this year I would sow one field

to oats and harvest the oats for grain

as there is nothing better for part of





the rat’on than ground oats, then the .





straw can be used to feed the cows,

and for bedding. This spring I would

also put in a small field of soy beans.

I would allow them to ripen, save the

seed to be ground'for the cows, and

use the straw for hay. It is a splendid

substitute for hay, even though we al-

low the grain to ripen.



Of course, at first you have got to

purchase nearly all the grain. I have“

made no provision for any pasture for

the cows. If you keep ten cows on

twenty acres of land you cannot pas-

ture them; you would not have land

enough. You have got to keep them

in the barn and in exercise yards con-

tinuously. When you once get started





your experience will dictate what crops‘





you shall raise and the proper rota‘

tion for furnishing the foods for these

cows. In all probability for a few years

you will have to purchase the most of

the grain for the cows until you get.

your land and crops in better shape.

HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.





The annual meeting of the West

on February 3, 1918, and about fifty

West Michigan Holstein breeders were

in attendance at this meeting. The

meeting was_called to order by Presi-

dent H. E. Rising, and the minutes of

the last meeting read and approved.

President Rising made a few remarks,

after which a business session was

held and cattle pledged for the “fest

Spring Guarantee Quality Sale. It was

decided to hold this sale at the West

Michigan State Fair Grounds in Grand

Rapids, Mich, on Wednesday, May 14,

1919, with Colonel D. L. Perry, of Col-

umbus, Ohio, in the box as auctioneer.

There will be between eighty and one

PHOSPHATE.





 





Is rock‘phoSphate a good fertilizer?

Is acid phosphate worth twice as

much? .M'y ground was plowed last

fall and I want to sow, oats and seed

with sweet clover. How much should

these fertilizers cost?



Charlevoix Co. J. M. I.





, The analysis of rock phosphate

would seem to show that it is worth

about as much as acid phosphate but

the trouble is that the phosphorus in

the rock phosphate is not water-solu-

ble and consequently cannot be used

by the plant. I have known where peo-

ple used as much as one thousand

pounds of rock phosphate to the acre

and they couldn’t see any benefit from

it at all. We have plenty of inert

phosphorus in our soils already, and

when we apply fertilizer we should

use one that is water-soluble so as to

give something that the plant can use

immediately. From my experience and

observation, and what I have learned

from reading the results of various ex-

periment stations I would say that

acid phosphate is worth much more

than twice as much as rock phosphate.

Acid phosphate would be a splendid

fertilizer to use on oats where you are

to seed to sweet clover, because both

oats and sweet clover need quite a per

cent of available phosphorus to make

good development.

THE FARM HORSE IN SPRING.





 





1TH two “short years” just pass-



ed, it is more important than

ever for Michigan farmers to make a

big effort to increase production. In

this work the farm horse is going to

play a very important part; but it is

absolutely necessary that he be broken

gradually to the work. It is a signifi-

cant fact that our boys in khaki were

not put into the trenches until they

were somewhat trained andhardened

for the work. Neither should the farm

horse sweats, particles of dust. col-

be crowded in the spring work until

he is fit. "'



From an economical point of view, it

is best not to crowd the horses when

first beginning the spring work. If

they get tired out, nothing will restore

them except a few days’ complete rest.



Especial care must be given in start-

ing the plowing. It worries horses, es-

pecially heavy ones, to travel over





newly plowed or uneven ground. Fre— ‘





quent short rests’relieve' the worry

and prevent the horses from becOming

overheated.



The harness must be given careful

attention to. prevent the forming of

galls and sores. Wherever it rubs, the

the horse sweats, particles of dust col«

lect, and by pressure of the, harness

cut into the skin, forming sores. If not

taken care of, they become so serious

as to necessitate laying off, work. A





good plan'is to have clean water and ‘

a sponge handy, and to wash and dry ,





the places before putting on the har-

ness again. A wash of equal parts of

tirfcture of myrrh and soft water, Used

two or three times a day when the





sores first startpwill aesist agreat '





deal. ,



Another thing that worries the hors-

es is to have them-hitched uncomfort-

‘Old Number One‘





9





' 7 Still on theJOb





T was F. Gasperich, owner of ' OilPull

No. 314, one of the first 30—60'8 built—and





also still» on the job—that first told us





about “Old Number One.” 4





“There is a bit of sentiment attached to the

OilPull maChine, familiarily called ‘Old Num-

ber One,’ " he wrote. “It has been in our vi-

cinity ever since its purchase in 1910 and is

still on the job, running better. than many new





' tractors of other makes. It is owned by Frank

.Schultz, of Agar, S. Dak., and I don’t believe





there is a man in this state who has done more

plowing and threshing with OilPull machines.

Recently I had an opportunity of witnessing

.the performance of this old OilPull and I will

say that it is still a marvel of reliability.”





So we asked Frank Schultz to tell us of his

experience with the pioneer OilPull, and he

writes as follows: ‘





“l have done more work with my 30—60 Oil-

Pull tractor than any other engine around this

part of the country. I don’t know just how

many hundreds of acres it has plowed or

bushels it has threshed, but she’s always been





‘ on the job and never lacked for power.





“Some of my neighbors have so-called oil

burning engines, but when they get down to

a hard pull, they’re a lot better on gasoline.

Many a time I’ve had ‘Old Number One' run—

ning on heavy load all day without a stop and

she never overheats. This I don’t believe any

other tractor owner in this part of the country

can say. As far as burning kerosene is con-

cerned, it is the only real kerosene burner that

I know of. /





“And the OilPull has a lot of reserve power,





which a fellow needs going up steep hills

breaking sod in South Dakota. It's the only

engine I know that is under-rated.





“The OilPull has more bearing surface and

larger shafts than any tractor I’ve ever seen.

I also like the heavy foundation to hold the

motor and gearing in place. The carburetor is

as simple a mixing device as can be made.





“When you see the OilPull work in the belt

you realize the power it develops—how steady

the power is and how easily it handles the

largest separator.





“In my day I’ve operated a good many differ-

ent makes of tractors, but I have yet to see one

that will last and stand up like the Rumely Oil-

Pull. All the repairs that have been bought for

‘Old Number One’ would not amount to $200.”





What a tractor can do is best told by what

it has done. What “Old Number One" Oil-

Pull has done during all these years sets a

record for tractor performance that anyone can

well use as a standard by which to judge any

tractor made.





Moreover, into every OilPull is built the

same long life, dependability and economy

that “Old Number One” has proved out—it’s

just an example of what OilPull tractors are

doing today for over 8,000 owners.





You can get a Rumely OilPull in a size to fit

your farm—anywhere from 3 to 10 plows. And

Rumely service is within reach of your tele-

phone—no matter where you are—through 26

branch houses, at which are maintained con-

stantly a full stock of machines and repair parts.





Let us send you the OilPull catalog.

HoeGING DOWN RYE.





'I would like some information about

feeding down rye. Should I wait until

the rye is entirely ripe before turning

in the hogs? Do hogs waste much or

the grain when fed in this way? —



Ingham Co. C. B. V.



Experienced feeders prefer to delay

turning hogs onto the rye field until

the weather has softened‘the beards.

There is very little waste in pasturing

rye if one feeds some corn and green

a field of rye at a time when the beards

are sharp and stifi has discouraged

Timken Bearing is tapered to

fit over the tapered rollers.





It’s 1n Your Auto

It Ought to be in Your Tractor.





Timken Taper has for. years been a principle of motor-car

bearings that has enabled them to stand up under the con-

tinuous hammer, strain and end thrust that always exists as

the car rushes along the road.





The Timken ~Taper principle has been tested out over hun-'

dreds of thousands of miles—on all sorts of roads—in nearly

every make of passenger car on the market. It has been fur-

ther proved by tests that only the heaviest trucks could

impose.





This same principle of Timken Taper 18 correct, too, for the

tractor. For there is not the slightest difference in the kind

of load that is put on any hearing by any passenger car, truck

or tractor, and there need be no difference 1n the bearing except

as to size and proportions. ~





More and more tractor builders are realizing that this





similarity of service exists, and there’s proof of their acceptance

of the tapered principle in the rapidly increasing number of ‘

Timken equipped tractors. There’s more about the principle

of Timken Taper in the boOklet T-3, “Timken Bearings for

Farm Tractors.” Write for your Copy.

HE small town newspaper can



be made one of the largest fac-



tors in the uplift of the commu-

nity. In many local towns the local

paper is “(now the vital spark that

keeps business going. It is the organ

of the social life of the community and

it keeps friends from forgetting each

other. The local paper keeps the for-

mer citizen interested in the old home

town even after he has moved to the

city. Without a live local paper the

small toWn lacks one of thermost nec-

essary agents for its welfare.





Why does the local ‘paper appeal to-





the reader? The boy in France may

not worry over the future» of the Ger-

man colonies in Africa, or the boundar-

ies or Siberia, but he does like to know

that Bill Jones is painting his barn

and that Tom Smith has opened a new

grocery on the corner. The small town

paper appeals to the citizen of the com-

munity in the same manner as it ap-

peals to the soldier. It is the story of

much of the life around home and ev.

erything that tells of home is very in-

teresting to all of us.





Confidence in the local paper is nec-

essary if it performs the highest ser-

vice. “Well,” says Johnson, “they had

a big fight at the school meeting last

week.” “Is that so,” reaponds Brown,

“I didn’t read anything about it in the

Bugle and if it's not there, it didn’t

happen.” Brown had faith in his daily

paper. A paper that can hold thecon-

fidence of its readers has a great 're-

sponsibility to them as the readers will

take its statements without question

and act accordingly. A paper that does

not enjoy the confidence of the commu

nity might better not be printed, even





though it is somewhat of a financial





success. The placepof the paper in the

lives of the people in the‘ community

can be made so important that the val-

ue of the influence cannot be comput-

ed in money. .



Cooperation between the people of

the town and the publisher of the lOcal

paper is important. There are two

sides to the proposition. First, we have

emphasized the obligation that the

publisher owes the' people of the town

and his duty to furnish them with the

best possible service.

duty of the people to the publisher of

their community paper. ,



The cost of: publishing papers has in-

creased because of the increased price





of paper, ink, labor, and in fact, every- ,





thing that goes into the manufacture

ofa paper or magazine. The local pa.

per depends for its inbome on the bus-

iness which it receives from the com-

munity. Subscriptions are not the big-

gest item in the receipts but they must

be paid. Often a farmer with abundant

funds will neglect the payment of' a

newspaper subscription until frequent

duns have been received. He may feel

that it is only a piece of paper and as

long as the editor prints a bunch of

them anyway the small subscription





, fee from one subscriber will not worry





the publisher. Multiply that feeling a





few hundred times and it will cause

the publisher enough worry to possibly‘





put him out of business. Probably

nothing in uthe newspaper business can

help the editor more than prompt pay-





. ment of subscriptions. .





The merchants of at small town soon

learn to" appreciate the value of a live





' 1le paper. Their advertising patron-

. age is absolutely necessary to keep the





publisher in business. It is a well-





- known fact that a man must advertise.





to improve his business as soon as that





business reaches the; stage where he‘ is

‘ prepared to deliver the right kind of





goods. Honest advertising 1111115 local





Next comes the '





Local Paper





paper will create confidence in the pub-

lisher of the paper as well as improve

the business of the advertiser. The

local merchantshould do all in his

power to make his advertisement clear

and free from the slightest tinge of a'

misleading statement. This is an im-

portant factor in making the local pa-

per a success. Many a customer Who

has been cheated at a sale has lost all

faith in the paper in which he read

the advertisement. The publisher owes

it to himself and to the community to

refuse questionable advertising and ‘

also all copy from local merchants

who may have disregarded the truth

in writing their advertisements.





The farmer is vitally interested in

the small town paper because such a

paper depends greatly on the patron-

age of the farmers in the community.

The paper keeps the farmer in touch

with all meetings of a business or so‘

cial nature which occur in the town.

Thus the farmer is able to do his part

in the life, of the community to a larg-

er-extent than as if the town had no

live paper to keep him posted on local

events.



The life of the community demands

that there be some method of inform-

ing the people of what is gOing on. The

local paper fills that place and as a

real factor in the development of a

town and a farmingcommunity, it de‘

serves the cooperation of every farmer.





WINTER EVENINGS.





 





There’s a heap of solid comfort

In an easy chair at night,

With a magazine or paper,

Some good apples or my pipe.

And it matters not how wintry

Or how stormy out of doors,

I sure take a lot of pleasure

Resting from the evening chores.





Wife, she hustles up the dishes

Tucks the youngsters into bed,

Then she settles in, the rocker

And 'I tell her What I’ve read. _

While she patches on some trousers

Or some little stockings mend,

And we both are mighty sorry

When such pleasant evenings end.





But I couldn’t find enjoyment

NOr much comfort in it all,

If I didn’t know the horses '

Were well bedded in their stall.

If the cattle were not sheltered

And protected from the cold,

If the sheep had not been watered

Andflxed snugly in‘ the fold.





Oh— it adds to all the pleasure



And it makes it seem complete,



Knowing that the cows and horses

Are a sharing in the treat.



That they, stand knee deep in bedding

And a munching on their hay,



And the little calves are 005in

A sleeping in the bay. .





There’s a heap of solid comfort-

On a stormy winter’s night,

With a magazine and paper

Some good apples or my pipe.

But the thing that gives me pleasure

And that makes it seem complete,

Is to know the stock is sheltered

And a sharing in the treat.

and whether the man truly loved me

'or not, his hatred of De Artigny was

sufficient for any cruelty.





for compromise; and yet for the mo-

ment I lacked power to speak, to ques-

tion, fearful lest his demands would

be greater than I could grant. I had

no thought of what I saw, and still that

which my eyes rested upon remains

pictured on my brain, the sparkle of

sun on the water, the /distant green of





canoe, the dark shining bodies of the





‘ Indians ceaselessly plying the paddles,





and beyond us, to the left, another can-

oe, cleaving the water swiftly, with

Pere Anouez’ face turned toward us,





- as though he sought to guess our con-





versation. I was aroused by the grip

of Cassion’s hand.

“Well, my beauty,” he said harshly,





, “haven’t I waited long enough to learn





if it is war or peace between us ?”~



I laughed, yet I doubt if he gained

any comfort from the expression of the

eyes which met his.



“Why, I choose peace, of course,

Monsieur," I answered, assuming a

carelessness I was far from feeling.

"Am I not your wife? Surely you re-

mind me of it often enough, so I am

not likely to forget; but I resent the





" insult of your words, nor will you ever





win favor from me by such methods.

I have been friendly with Sieur de Ar-

tigny, it is true, but there is nothing

more between us. Indeed no word has

passed my lips in his presence I would

not be willing for you to hear. So





, there is no cause for you to spare'him





on my account, or rest his fate on any

action of mine.”



“You will have naught to do with

the fellow?” ,



“There would be small chance if I

wished, Monsieur; and do you suppose

I would seek companionship with one

who had killed my uncle?”



“ ’Twould scarce seem so, yet I know





not what you believe.”





“Nor do I myself; yet the evidence

is all against the man thus far. I con-

fess I should like to hear his defense,

but I make you this pledge in all hon-

or—I will have no word with him, on

condition that you file no charges until

we arrive at Fort St. Louis ”



“Ah!” suspiciously, f‘you think he has

friends there to hold him innocent. "

“Why, should I, Monsieur? Indeed,

why should I care but to have justice

done? I do notwish his blood on your

hands, or to imagine that he is con-

demned because of his friendship for

me rather than any other‘Crime. I

know nut What friends the man has at

the Rock on the Illinois. He was of

La. Salle’s party, and they are no long-

er in control. La Barre said that De

Baugis commanded that post, and for

all I know De Tonty and all his men

may have departed.” “



“’Tis not altogether true, and for

that reason we are ordered to join the

company; De Baugis has the right of

, “Then it would seem to me, Mon-

sleur, that you could safely wait the

trial of De Artignyuntil our arrival at.

the fort. If, he does not feel himself.

suspected, he will make no effort to

escape, and I give'you the pledge you

ask of me.”



It was notaltogether graciously that

he agreed to this, yet the man could

not 1efuse, and I was glad enough to

escape thus easily, fOr it was my fear

that he might insist on my yielding

much more to preserve De Artigny

from immediate condemnation and

death. The fellow had the power, and

the inclination, and what good fortune

saved me, I can never know. I think

he felt a celtain fearefime, a doubt of

how far he might p1 esume on my good

nature.



Certainly I gave him small encour-

agement to venture further, and yet

had he done so I would have been at

my wit’s end. Twice the words'were

upon his lips—a demand that I yield

to his mastery—but he must have read

in my. eyes a defiance he feared to

front, for they were not_ uttered.

’Twas that he might have this very

talk that he had found me place alone

in his canoe, and I would have respect-





ed him more had he dared to carry out .





his desire. The coward in the man

was too apparent, and yet that very

cowardice. was proof of treachery.

What he hesitated'to claim boldly he

would attain otherwise if he'co'uld. I

could place no confidence in his word,

nor reliance upon his honor. ‘





However nothing occurred to give

Cassion opportunity, nor to tempt me

to violate my own pledge. We pro-

ceeded steadily upon our course, aided

by fair weather, and quiet 'waters for

several days. So peaceful were our

surroundings that my awe and fear of

the vast lake on which we floated

passed away, and I began to appreciate

its beauty, and love those changing

vistas, which opened constantly to our

advance.





We followed the coast line, seldom A





venturing beyond sight of land, except

as we cut across from point to point;

and fair as the wooded shore appeared,

its 'loneliness, and the desolation of"

the great‘waters began, at last, to af-

fect our spirits. The menno longer

sang at their work, and I could see the

depression in their eyes as they stared

about across ceaseless waves to the

dim horizon.



Day after day it was the same dull

monotony, crouched in the narrow can-

.oe, . watching the movements of .the‘

paddlers, and staring about at endless

sea and sky, with distant glimpses of





wilderness. We lost, interest in con- _ '





versation, in each other, and I lay for





hours with eyes closed to the glare of

,the Sun, feeling no desire save to be





left alone. Yet there were scenes of

of defense. Twice I got away in Pere'

Allouez’ canoe, and found pleasure in

conversing,- although I had no confi-

dence in the priest, and knew well that

my absence would anger Cassion.



Our camps occurred wherever night





overtook us and we found good land- '





ing place. Occasionally we went ashore

earlier, and the Indians hunted for

Wild game, usually with success. In

all these days and, nights I had no

glimpse of De Artigny, nor of his crew.

It was not possible for me to question

Gassion, for to do so would have arous-

ed his jealous suspicion; but, as he

never once referred to their continued

absence, I became convinced that it

washis orders which kept them ahead.

No doubt it was best, as the men soon

forgot the tragedy of Hugo Chevet’s

death, and after the first day I do not

recall hear: ng the murder discussed.



Such deeds were not uncommon, and

Chevet had made no friends to cherish

his memory. .If others suspected De

Artigny they felt little resentment or

desire to punish him—and doubtless

the men had quarreled, and the fatal

knife thrust been delivered in fair

fight. The result interested them only

slightly, and none regretted the loss of

the man killed.



We made no entrance into Green

Bay, for there was nothing there but

a newly established mission station,

and perhaps a hunter’s camp, scarcely

worth our wasting two days in seek-

ing. Beside the night we made camp

at a spot marked on the map as Point

de Tour, we found waiting us there the

advance canoe, and both De Artigny

and the chief counseled that our

course be south across the mouth of

the bay. I sat in my tent and watched

them discuss the matter in the red

glow of the fire, but this was my only

glimpse of De Artigny, until he led the

way the next morning.



Our voyage that day was a long one,

and we were often beyond View of the

land, although we skirted several is-

lands. The lake was stirred by a gen-

tle breeze, yet not enough to delay our

passage, and the sky above was cloud-

less.

ing paddle in one of our boats, reliev-

ing Pere Allouez, and De Artigny

guided us, his canoe a mere black

speck ahead. It was already dark

when we finally attained the rocky

shore of Port de Morts.



'When dawn came De Artigny and

his crew had departed by order of Cas-

sion, but the chief remained to take

charge of the third canoe. The indif-

ference the younger man had shown

to my presence hurt me strangely—

he had made no effort to approach or

address me, indeed, so far as I was

aware, had not so much as glanced in

my direction. Did he still resent my

words, or was it his consciousness of

guilt, which held him thus aloof?



. Not for a moment would I believe

him wholly uninterested. There had

been that in his eyes I should never

forget, and so I persuaded myself that

he thus avoided me because he feared

to anger Cassion. This was not at all

in accord with his nature as I under-

stood it, yet the explanation gave me a

certain content, and I could find no

better. Thus we resumed our journey

southward along the shore, but with

clouded skies overhead, and the water

aboutus dull and gray. '

‘ across the tossing waters in guidance.

Even De Artigny kept within sight, and'

made camp with us at night, although

he made no effort to_ seek me, nor did





 





' l I once detect that he even glanced in





my direction. The studiedindifference

of the man puzzled me more than it an-

gered, but I believed it was his conl

sciousness of guilt, rather than any dis-

like which caused his avoidance. In a

way I rejoiced at his following this

course, as I felt bound by my pledge to

Cassion, and had no desire to further

arouse the jealousy of'the latter, yet

I remained a woman, and consequently

felt a measure of regret at being thus

neglected and ignored;



However I~ had my reward, as this

state of affairs was plainly enough to

Monsieur Cassion's liking, for his hu-

mor changed for the better, in spite of

our slow progress, and I was pleased to

note that his watchfulness over my

movements while ashore noticeably re-

laxed. Once he ventured to speak a.

bold word or two, inspired possibly by

my effort to appear more friendly, but

the raw, disagreeable atmosphere fur-

nished me with sufiicient excuse to





and thus ignore his presence.

“Ah, ‘quite an adventure this,” he

said, adopting a_ tone of pleasantry.

“Your sarcasm is quite uncalled for.

this course the once. ’Tis here he has

put the mark, while my guess would be

a few leagues beyond.”



I bent over, my_ eyes seeking the

points indicated. I had seen the map

before, yet it told me little, for I was

unaccustomed to such study, and‘the

few points, and streams named had no

real meaning to my mind. The only

familiar term was Chicagou Portage,

and I pointed to it with my fingers.



“Is it theie we leave the lake, Mon-

sieur,’



“Ay the rest will be river work. You

see this stream? ’Tis called the Des

Plaines, and leads into the Illinois. De

Artigny says it is two miles inland,

across a flat country. ’Twas Pere Mar-

quette who passed this way first, but

since then many have traversed it.

’Tis like to take'two days to make the

portage.”



“And way up here is Port du Morts,

where we crossed the opening into

Green Bay, and we have come since all

this distance. Surely ’tis not far along

the shore now to the portage?”



“Mon Dieu, who knows! It looks but

a step on the map, yet ’tis not likely

the distance has ever been measured.”



“What said the Sieur de Artigny ?"



“Bah! the Sieur de Artigny! ever it

is the Sieur de Artigny. ’Tis little he

knows about it in my judgment. He

would have it thirty leagues yet, but I

make it we are ten leagues to the

south of where he puts us; What, are

you going already? Faith, I had hopes

you might tarry here a while yet, and

hold converse with me.”



I paused, in no way tempted, yet

uncertain.



“You had some word you wished to

say, Monsieur.”



“There are words enough if you

would'listen.” ,



“ ’Tis--no fault of ,yours'if I do not.





«But not now, Monsieur. It is late, and





cold. We take the boats early, and I





would rest while I can.”





He was on his feet, the map gripped

in his hand, but made no effort to stop

me, as I dropped him a curtsey, and

retreated. But he was there still when

of distant thunder came to our ears,

yet there was no wind, and Caesion de-‘





cided that the cIOuds would drift south—





ward, and leave us safe passage along - r

the shore. His canes had pbeenawrench

ed in making landing the evening be-





fore, and had taken in considerable





water during the night. This was bail-’

, ed out, but the interior was so wet and,

.un‘comfbrtable that I begged to be giv-





en place in another boat, and Cassion

consented, after I had exhibited some





_temp'er, ordering a soldier in the ser-

to exchange places ,





geant' s canoe

with me.



We were the last to depart from the

mouth of the stream where we had





made night camp, and I took more than

be away. from Cassion’s presence for

an entire day. The man irritated me,

insisting on a freedom of speech I

could not. tolerate, thus keeping me

constantly on defense, never certain





, when his audacity would break bounds.





So this morning it was a relief to sit





* up, free of my blanket, and, watch the





men get under way. '





We may have proceeded for half a I

land enveloping us in its folds, though

we were close enough to the shore so





as to keep safely together, the word

~be1ng passed back down the line, and





as we drew nearer I became awaie that

De Artigny’s boat had turned about,

and he was endeavm mg to induce Cas—

sion to go ashore and make camp be—

fore the storm broke. The latter, how-

ever, "was obstinate, claiming we were

close enough for safety, and finally, in

angry voice, insisted upon proceeding

on our course.



De Artigny, evidently'feeling argu-

ment useless, made no reply, but I no—

ticed he held back his pa-ddlers, and





permitted Cassion’s canoe to forge~





ahead. He must have discovered that

Iiw'as not with Monsieur, for I saw him





stare intently at each of the other ca-





noes, as though to make sure of my

Continued interest in my welfare, and

my heart throbbed with sudden pleas~

premonition of danger, he certainly

spoke words of instruction to his Indi—

an paddlers, and so manipulated his

craft as to keep not far distant; though

slightly farther from shore, than the

canoe-in which I sat.

Money In Bush Fruits





By M. N. Edgerton





LTHOUGH there is not the mon-



ey to be "made in growing bush



fruits that there is in the grow-

ing of strawberries, a. fair profit may-

be obtained with proper culture and

favorable market conditions. While

the yield per acre is very much less

than with strawberries, this difference

ispartly offset by the longer bearing

period of bush fruits. Strawberries

will not yield highly profitable crops

longer than for two seasons, while the

bush fruits will yield profitable crops

through a term of ten to fifteen years,

depending upon the‘ sort and the treat-

ment given.

fruits is necessarily limited. None of

the bush fruits compare with the straw-

berry in popular favor. Ordinarily, the

market is limited to nearby towns,

both because of the limited demand

and the inferior shipping qualities of

these fruits. No grower can profitably

substitute bush fruits for strawberry

growing; nevertheless, where land and

labor is available and market demands

adequate at remunerative prices, a

grower may easily make bush fruits

profitable as an adjunct to strawberry

growing.



Bush fruits are relatively de‘ep root-

ing plants. Any soil that will produce

profitable crops of strawberries, or

grain, will be suitable to grow good

crops of bush fruits. The l“soil should

be rich as a matter of course, and deep

plowing practiced when fitting. Be-

cause of deeper rooting habits the bush

fruits should be set rather deep, say

about four inches below the surface

level. The roots of the plants should

be well protected from air and sun

while out of the ground and the soil

thoroughly‘tamped about them when

setting, that there may be no loss of

plant vitality through drying of roots,

and that capillarity connection may be‘

restored in the disturbed soil at the

earliest moment. Efl‘lciency in method

of handling and setting are imperative





The market for bush





to a quick start and a strong- rapid

growth in the planting. ‘



Directly the. work or setting is» fin-

ished, tillage should begin by a thor-

ough stirring of the entire surface,

which work should be repeated at-"in-

tervals as may be required to maintain

the ideal earth mulch. Ordinaril‘yev-

ery six or seven days will suflice. pr—' ‘

ever, untimely showers ‘very frequently

make it. necessary to depart from the

regular routine. Inefficiency in this,

phase of the work spells failure. Effi-

cient tillage is necessary to ’conserve

soil water for plant use, and to retain

that friable mellow condition of soil

grains so that they will promote the

best growth of plant.'Maximum growth

in cane requires a; strong, well develop-

ed root system, and this is impossible

to secure in the presence of acompact

water-starved condition of soil grains.

Perpetual efficiency in the earth mulch

is a fundamental necessity of success-

ful bush fruit culture.



A secondary purpose of efficient til--

lage isweed subjugation. Weeds rob

the plants of essential plant food and

sunshine, resulting in a spindling un—

healthy growth of cane. Excessive

cane growth should be treated as

weeds; for any growth in canes in ex-

cess of that required to produce a max-

imum crop of fruit reduces profits as

much as weed growth. If the canes

are permitted to grow so thickly as to

crowd each other, and weeds [and grass

allowed tocreep in, one might far bet-

ter have not started the plantation. ,



Not only is it necessary to restrict

the plants in the quantity of cane

growth, but it is equally as essential

to restrict the quantity of fruit ripened

by individual canes. If this is not dOne

not only will the quality of the fruit

harvested be’ inferior, but exhaustion

of plant vitality will result from over-

bearing. Proper restriction is secured

by cutting away about one-third of

each- cane. This may be done any

time after. leave‘s drop in fall before

the spring growth begins. I prefer to

do the work early in the spring. If

pruned in late fall or early winter it is

quite probable that extra pruning will

be required the following spring to re-

move that growth which was winter-

killed. It is important that the work of

pruning be done before spring growth

begins to secure full benefit. Spring

growth removed with spring pruning

represents just so much loss in plant

energy. If spring growth is allowed to

reach the blooming stage before prun-

ing the loss‘is excessive because of the,

highly vitalized forces employed in pole

len secretion. Little or no benefit

accrues from pruning after this stage

of growth “obtains.



Spring cultivation should begin as

soon as soil conditions permit, and re-

peated throughout the active growing

period of the canes at intervals re-

quired to maintain an efficient earth

mulch. As proper wood ripening is

necessary to safe wintering, an’y meth-

od of culture that makes for normal

growth in canes and proper ripening

of the wood should be utilized. It is-





possible to‘materially assist in the'





work by efficient tillage, a system of

tillage that will promote continuous

growth of cane throughout the sum-

mer. Proper ripening of the wood may

be materially assisted by the use of a

cover crop. For this purpose I know

of nothing better than oats. Grain for

the cover crop should be sown and cul-

tivated in with the last cultivation of

the summer, in August or the first of

September. Sown at this time consid-

erable growth of top will obtain by the

time freezing weather arrives.



I believe a cover crop is essential to

success. Its benefits are two-fold. It

assists wood ripening of canes by ap-

propriating in its growth soil water and

plant food which might otherwise be

appropriated by the canes in late 'fall

growth; besides it promotes land pro-

ductivity; by appropriating nitrates

set free in the soil and which might

not be taken up by the fruit canes after

active growth has ceased and. by con-

tributing soil'humus.

LONG WARM SPELL DANGEROUS

T0 PEACHES.





HE long spell of unseasonably

warm weather is putting the. peach

crop in a perilous position. While the

buds may show no apparent change, it

is declared that sap has been running

up and that buds are not as fully dor-

mant as they should be in late winter.

Should cold weather come on again

by degrees giving the sap opportunity

to work down and the buds to harden

again, likely no damage would be done

but should there come a sharp drop to

near the zero mark, growers say it is

very probable that. injury would result.

Ordinarily, peach buds here are safe

enough down to eight or ten degrees

below zero, and sometimes even lower

if conditions favor and the buds have

been well hardened 'in. The safety of

the crop at such times hinges on the

dormant condition of the buds, entire

absence of sap, air drainage, dark days

so that the sun does not warm the

frozen wood too much at mid-day and

-other conditions. u '

Peach scares in late winter occu

quite regularly and are often followed

by a_ bumper crop, but with the

acreage of trees seriously cut down by

the extreme cold of last winter, there

can not be any very general damage to





buds this winter it anything like a. 1513'





crop is to be produced this season.

FRIEND, inspired by the success



of my suit, brought out another



old suitwhich presented different

problems, the solution of which seem-

ed equally difficult. As in the previous

case, the skirt was the least difficult

to make. This one had eleven wide

gores with a pleat on one edge, of nine

of them. The material was a grey

wool mixture almost resembling tiny

checks, which fact rendered the seams

almost invisible when well pressed. A

well-fitting, straight skirt with front

panel and three stiaight gbi es on eith-

er side was evolved from seven of the

original flaring gores.



Again the jacket looked impossible.

It was short, with set-in pock-

ets in front and shaped pieces

in the back. (See Diagram

D).. A pattern in a recent

fashion book furnished the

idea and the remaining four

gores of the skirt supplied the

material for a new jacket.

The old leg-o’-mutton sleeves





ones. The old fronts, re-cut,

formed the yoke and side piec-

es above the belt. (See Dia-

gram E). Material from the

skirt was used for the shirred

fronts and the entire back.

The old back and remaining

bits of skirt were pieced to-

gether to finish out the pep-

lum. The success of this piec-

ing is due to great care in cut-

ting and to the weave of the

material as previously mentioned. The

old skirt facing cut on the bias, was

lined with pieces cut on the straight of

the goods and usedfor the new belt

side front. The lines of the skirt Were

straight, with the exception of side

panels trimmed, with small buttons.

Cutting out the panels would- have

made the skirt too narrow, but the re-

moval of the buttons made the slight

flare less conspicuous.



The possibility of covering the holes

in the skirt was next considered.‘ The

solution took the form of a long coatee

without sleeves, made'fr-om the old

coat. Diagram G shows the original

pieces of the coat. The seams were

sewed up as before, the extra fullness,

both above and .‘below the waist line,

being laid in deep pleats, Section B,

originally pleated to fit smoothly over

the hips was now gathered and the

waist line‘ covered with the original

belt. The buttonholes on one front had

been cut off, so the other front was cut

to correspond. This left the‘ coatee

open about four inches down the: front.

The Way the Sheep Came





By E. L Vmcem‘ ~





N our day boys and girls would

I think it pretty hard lines if they



had to wait four years for a single

sheep. Looking ahead, that does seem

like a. long time, and things move

swiftly in our day. It is not so long

ago, however, that a great many men

and women can well .rememberhow

sheep were “let out” to double i once

in four years and really how fast the

years sped round even then, so that

almost before they knew it they had

their original sheep or lamb, together

with another one gained under the

plan in those days in vogue among

sheep farmers.



My father used to take sheep from

neighbors who had not as miich pas-

ture as they needed for the mainte-

nance of a. large flock, keep them on

his farm; care for them, feed them,

and then at the end of four years

return to the neighbor double the orig-

inal flock, retaining the rest as his

share of the copartnership gain. I

well remember how fast those sheep

reduplicated. Of course, it was a

good while to wait and to work, but

men were not in as big a hurry in

those days before the great Civil War

in this country, and perhaps people

had more patience to wait, anyhow.



Another farmer I know had a bit of

interesting experience taking sheep in

this way. He had a flock of ewes and





them, he got one of ‘a man who lived

‘a. little way from his home. He was a

fine fellow, with big horns curled about

beautifully. I am sorry to say that

these horns proved to be his undoing

in the end. After the ram was fully

grown, the farmer and a neighbor

marked their sheep so that-they could

be told apart, turned them into the

road and started for a creek a. little

way off to wash them for the coming

shearing. The neighbor had in his

flock a powerful ram, quite a match

for the one with the fine‘ crooked





struck the road for the washing hole

when these veterans locked horns for

what proved to be a deadly combat.

Backing off several feet, they would

come at each other, head down, with

a bang that could be heard a long way

off. It would not have been healthy for

any man to have been caught between

those stone~hard heads. And the farm-

ers could do little except stand there

and watch the contest to an end. ‘

Over. and over again the rams backed

away and rushed upon each other, head

to head. But suddenly the sheep that

had been rented of the neighbor, drop-

ped down, his head hanging limp after

a tremendous blow against the caput

of his antagonist. His neck had been

broken and that was the end_of him. I

do not know whether the farmer had

to, make the dead sheep good with his

neigthr or not, but I suppose that ac-

cording to the strict sense of justice

that prevailed in those days that would





’be the natural thing to do.





This same farmer not many years





 





being in need of a ram to run with





horns; and the two flocks had scarcely '





afterwa‘fd made an offer to his four

oldest boys and girls. It was this:-



“If you will plant corn enough and

hoe it so that you have earned two do]-

lens, I will give you ‘8. ewe lamb. We

will let the lamb run with‘the rest for

four years and then you will have an-

other Leave the two another four

years and you shall have four, and so

on as long as you like. "



Two boys and two gi1ls accepted the





proposition and Went at the planting‘:





and hoeing with a vim. I do not“ know

now how much they were to receive

for a day‘s work, but it could not have

been more than a few cents, for they

worked away a good many days be

fore they had earned the, stipulated

two dollars. Wages were not as high

in those days as they are now I know

a number of the grandchildren who

are now earning twenty dollars a week

in a factory that has come in not far

from the old farm home.



The farmer was very fair with his

boys and girls. It was a. great day

when they all went down to the sheep

pasture and picked out the lamb which

was to be their very own, the founda-

tion of their prospective fortune. A

nice ewe lamb was \picked out for each

of the little workers and they went

back to wait. for time and the good

care given by the father to bring them

their other sheep, the sheep which

came as the increment of their invest.

ment. That project came near to be-

ing a. disastrous one for the farmer. It

would have compelled him to have

sold off a large part of his own original

flock to make room for the newcomers

if part of the children had not been in

a hurry to realize upon their invest-

ment, and called for the sheep that

were their due. The farmer stood.

right by ’his promise, and when the

boys and one girl asked that they be

given their sheep to be sold, he turned

them over, helped about selling 'the

little flock and gave them the money.

One of the girls was not in as-hig

a hurry as the rest, however, and she

left her lamb for what would not seemf

a very long time. She was by this.

time quite a big girl and away at

school. Finally when home one year

on her mid-year vacation she and fath-

er "iiguredit out that she was lentitled

to eight sheep as her profit on the

work bestowed upon that corn field in

the days gone by. The wages she re-

ceived did not seem very big in the

time of it, but if each sheep sold for

five dollars, and I suppose that would

have been a fair price at the time they

were disposed of, the sum total would

have been forty dollars—~pretty fair in-

terest for the capital invested. This

was the father’s way of helping his

boys and girls to cultivate the habit

of earning and' saving and it stood

them in good stead as long as they

may live. Habits are like sticks bound

in a bundle, broken only after mighty

effort.



Let me go on a little further with

my stgry, leaving the sheep for the

that 1‘ shell‘he called

in my statements whim I say that the

girl who had.- the’ eight shecplas her

little patrimony from her isther’s

flock, did many kinds of farm work

except plant and hoe corn. She dug

potatoes, together with her other

brothers and sisters, at one cent a

bushel. Each of them received a like

amount. If they dug twenty-five bush-

els in a day, they all had twenty-five

cents at night, making a dollar for

four workers. The girl dug-in a well

that was put down in the hard clay

soil by the farm house; she dug many





 





a rod of ditch, and helped to stone it





up, working till her fingers were worn

quite to the quick; she carried sap to

make maple sugar and kept the fire

burning when father was up at the

barn doing the Chores. They were

ready for any job in the house or out

of doors. The boys wereicapable of

handling any ’team on the farm, and

some pretty fiery steeds were kept in

those days. Hard work, but they were

all healthy and it did not hurt them to

know how to do everything that came

to be done.





And they all .“came out” well. The

girl of the eight sheep went away to a

state normal school, graduated and be-

came in good teacher in grade, acad-

emy and high school. Others have

made their mark and none of them

but would say that those days away

back yonder on the farm were the hap-

piest days of their lives. They‘are

now all helpful citizens of the common-

wealth. Who knows what a different

story might have been told under oth-

er circumstances. A moment ago I

spoke about some of the grandchildren

of that man who are in shops earning

They get more in a single

week than their fathers and mothers

saw at their age in ten years. But I

do wonder if they are any happier for

the money they earn? Sometimes I

fear they are not. But anyway, life

goes on fast. Things have surely

changed since those far-off days.





But what do you think about it?

Would it not be a good plan for you,

boys and girls of the farm today, to

make father a proposition? He needs

help, especially now when hired men.

are scarce and hard to find. There

are a good many things you can do in

the course of the season. On some

farms it may be one thing, on some

another. Do some of these odd jobs

and ask father if he will give you a.

'lamb in payment. If he has sheep on

the place, the chances are that he

would be glad to do it. If he does not

keep sheep, here may be an opportu-

nity to begin, for- sheep at the present

time are highly profitable. The wool

is high and scarce, while mutton now

brings a good price and this will be so

for a good many years from present

Any , father probably

would be glad to buy a sheep for you

and fix up the fences well for your

lamb to pasture. It may —be that you

and father can agree on, some different

term than four years. I have no doubt

in the olden times some pastured and

cared for sheep five or six years before

they received“ their “double." What-

ever the term, let father have the wool

and any lambs that are born, as his

pay for the feed,and keeping, you sim-

ply waiting for the time to come round

when you shall receive your extra

lamb as your share of the profit.





It wouldvbe ago’od thing f... [you to

join' other boys and girls in this work,

forminge little 'club. of your, own. In

Fit Biddy to New Conditions





By Brzam‘ Sana’a





HILE the price of eggs and fowl

have advanced twenty-five to

fifty per cent, the cost of feed,

labor, lumber, hardware, etc., have

doubled or trebled during the past few





‘ years. We have therefore changed our





feeding methods in every way practica-

ble to reduce costs; we have graded

up our flocks by weeding out all the

drones and poor layers; we get top





prices for our produce by going direct.





to the consumer and eliminating trib-

ute-to middlemen; we avoid guesswork





byvkeeping systematic records of our





various methods and feeds, their costs

and results; we sell or caponize all

cockerels and male birds not absolute-

ly neceSsary for breeding purposes;

we grow small grains and green crops

in the yards; we save all the poultry

manure. ,

In feeding, we have almost had to

forget that We ever used wheat for

pOultry. We have revised all Our ra-





“ tions, regardless of tradition, to fit the





grains and by-products now most avail-

able for poultry feeding.



We are using sour milk and butter-

milk, and green cut bone in place of

commercial meat feeds as much as pos-

sible. We are also utilizing several

little patches of land for raising buck-

wheat, millet and similar small grains

to which we formerly paid scant at-

tention.’



Here are some economical rations

that are giving us excellent results:



Number 1.



Scratch Feed—Two pounds cracked

corn, one pound oats.



Mash—Three pounds corn meal, one

pound beef scraps. ‘



Number 2.



Scratch Feed—Seventy-five' pounds

cracked corn, twenty-five pounds cats

or barley.



Mash—Two hundred pounds of bran,

one hundred pounds ground oats, one





- hundred pounds shorts, one hundred





pounds corn meal, one hundred and

twenty-five pounds fish or meat scrap.

Number 3.



Scratch Feed—Cracked 'corn.



Mash—One hundred pounds bran,

one hundred pounds beef scrap, one

hundred and fifty pounds wheat shorts,

four pounds fine charcoal, three pounds

fine salt.



In feeding these rations we try to

have the fowls consume nearly equal

portions of scratch feed and mash.

Of the latter we give just what the

hens will eat up clean in thirty min-

utes each afternoon. '



With corn as the principal ingredient

of the scratch feed, we avoid overfat-

ness among the fowls by feeding green

stuff liberally. Fowls not only relish

fresh greens, but it is» the cheapest

form of foOd. We give our fowls prac-





- tically all of it they will eat—twenty-





five to thirty-five per cent of their total

feed-and if it is app’etizing we do not

find the egg yield falling off.



We do not turn our flock into a yard

grown up with tough, Wiry grasses and

weeds and say we are feeding greens.

We grow succulent feeds, such as rape,

kale, Swiss chard, clover and other





’ crisp plants, especially for the hens.





We also supplement the scratch feed

with a. liberal portion of sprouted oats

This is one air, the cheapest

matter in the shape of insect food

found on the range, and some milled





. product, usually bran. Most European





poultry raisers have been compelled to

resortlto‘ such measures, and theyhave

managed to get along somehow. Corn

is virtually unknown to them, and

Wheat and oats have long since been.

prohibited by their governments for

poultry use.



Of course, no ration will produce

such a large egg yield as grain care—

fully balanced’with animal matter and

green stufls, especially during the fall

and winter months. When we have

cut the grain allotment too low, we

have noticed that egg-production not

only falls Off, but most of the eggs are

laid in the natural laying season—

spring and summer—when the prices

are low.



We are watching closer than ever be- .

fore for hens which are unprofitable

producers, or young birds on range

which are not growing properly. By

eliminating such fowls promptly, we

reduce our feed bills, save labor, and

give the remaining birds 3. much better

chance. ’



A good many poultrymen who have

been forced to reduce the size of their

flocks have been surprised to find that





their gross egg production has not been.





materially affected; they simply elimi—

nated a. lot of dead- beats and saved

themselves useless work.



In making the selection of productive-





‘hens there are four main faCtors which





we consider—health, comb, pelvic arch.

and the moult.

First, we get rid of any bird which





. is not perfectly healthy, strong and vig—





orous. We also watch the condition

of the comb and retain the fowls with.

bright, soft combs. The bird which.

has ceased producing has a dull, dry

comb, appearing small and shrivelled.



The pelvic arch or lay bones should

be rather thin and pliable and spread

apart the width of two or three fingers.»

When a hen stops laying these bones





. become‘ harder and draw together.





Lastly, we find birds which moult in.

July and August are rarely profitable-

Those which moult late, even in Octo~

her and November, have proved by far

the best producers.





Health and Vigor





"Health and vigor should come first

in building up a profitable flock of

poultry. A hen may be a good layer

but if she‘ is at all constitutionally

weak she will not be able to transmit

vital powers to her ofispring. It is

all right to select breeders for egg pro-

duction and fancy points, but vigor

must come first or after several years

of careful selection the breeder may-

find a lot of Weak sickly birds in his

yards which are incapable of being

profitable. In bneeding all‘ kinds, of

live stock, vigor is'esSential and it can-

not be neglected in the poultry yards.

that so many of the incubator chicks

dry up in the shells after they have

picked through? I get good hatches

up to this point, but lost about half of

them, due to this cause, Do incubator

chicks grow up to be as healthy and

strong as those hatched by the hens?

Bay Co. B F. W.





If ’there is not enough moisture in





egg becomes tough and dry and sticks

to the body of the chick and the young

bird frequently dies after picking

through a part of the outer shell. This

can usually be avoided by supplying

moisture on night of the eighteenth

day. Soak a woolen cloth in boiling





it over the eggs, leaving it over night.

Remove it the next‘morning and close

up the machine for the completion of

the hatch. The cloth will be found to

be dry and the moisture will have been

absorbed by the shells. This will soft-

en the membrane enough to permit

many chicks to hatch that otherwise

' might die in the shell. We use the

woolen cloth soaked in hot water on

every hatch and find that it furnishes

just the-right amount of moisture to

' bring out vigorous chicks.





Incubator chicks seem to grow up to

be as healthy and strong as chicks

Uhatched by hens, if the chicks are

hatched and broodcd in the correct

manner. Some breeders have better

success with hens than with artificial

hatching but the difference is often

' due to mistakes in incubation and

brooding. If'the incubator overheats,

‘ the chicks are devitalized. If they

are chilled in the breeder they do not

grow up into vigorous birds. Of course

the old hen does a- lot of work for the

poultryman without making many mis-

takes as she is regulated to carry on

both incubating and brooding at the

right temperature. In general, breed—

ers who manage incubators carefully,

like to use them. Some breeders who

have unfortunate experiences with in-

cubators are immediately prejudiced

against their use. Often a good incu-

bator is blamed for the health of the

chicks that are improperly broodcd,

even though the'chicks were strong

and vigorous when they left theegg

chamber. Success with chick raising

depends much on the individual and

we suggest that you try both artificial

and natural incubation and compare

the results that you are able to obtain

from both systems. R. G. K.

I. am writing you for information as I H I ,





to what I may add to what I have, 36





~ as to be able to feed a balanced ration-

to my cows. For roughage I have good = :





corn fodder with, of course, a little





corn in it, and all the red-top and clo- _





ver hay, (which is very nice), they

want.

large stock of barley, oats and rye

straw, but do not eat much of It, as

they do not require it. I have in my

granary now, very good corn, barley

and oats, (which are light). I have

been feeding rye screenings buck-

Wheat screenings, barley and oats,

ground together; also some sweet corn;





And I thought they did well. What is



a good balanced ration, with what I



have, and extra I might have to buy?

Branch 00. . F. A. W.

Red-top, when out and cured at the





right time, makes a splendid hay, al- . ‘





though it is not as rich in protein as

the clover, but— it makes a splendid;

roughage and it is also a good thing to





let the cows eat what straw they want _





at the straw stack. 'They‘ will eat

some with relish and you can save

some of the hay by so doing.



Corn and barley and cats will not

balance this ration of mixed hay and

straw. You must use something like

buckwheat‘ middlings or cottonseed

meal or oil meal to furnish the requir-

ed amount of protein. If you have car-

rots so that you can feed a. small

amount even once a day, it will be a.

splendid thing in the ration as it fur-

nishes succulency. ‘



1 suggest that you grind oats and

corn, equal parts by weight, and that

you purchase bran and mix with this

food equal parts. Besides this you will

need about two pounds of cottonseed

meal or oil meal per day for each cow.

In addition to this feed enough of the

corn, oat and bran mixture to furnish

a pound of grain per day for every

four pounds of milk produced in a day

if it tests less than four per cent, and

one pound of grain per day for every

three pounds of milk produced in a

day, if it tests more than three per

cent C. C. L.,





 





BUTTERMILK AND POTATOES

FOR PIGS.





I am feeding nine pigs that average

about seventy pounds apiece, on but-

termilk at two cents per gallon, and

corn meal that cost three cents per

pound, and we are feeding small po-

tatoes. Now I am thinking of buying

more small potatoes How much mon-

ey can I pay per bushel, and what is

the value of potatoes as pig feed, and

how much can I feed at a meal?



Wayne Co. . .



Corn meal, boiled potatoes and but-

termilk make a splendid ration for the

growing pigs. The buttermilk furnish-

es the required amount of protein, po-

tatoes and corn meal could be cooked

together and then made into a slop by

adding the buttermilk. It should be

fed in about the proportion of one

pound of corn meal to six pounds of

buttermilk. That will give you a good

growing ration. If you feed in this

proportion you can simply be governed

by the capacity of the pigs to eat

Give them all they will eat up clean

three times a day.



When we. consider potatoes as a food;

we must remember that they are very

larely water and this is not figured in

It is difficult to say

uch- one can afford to pay. but I

shoul say not over. $5.001» $6.00 a

ton for the potatoes. You have got a

splendid ration for growing 'plgs‘in

just corn mealv and buttermilk, but a

few potatoes give a variety and are an

advantage in'that way. ' 0.0.1..

R Organization.



While we have always protested

against drastic and destructive me h-

ods,_yet it .has been our constant de-

sire: and aim to bring to our peOple





, continually the thought of: the need of '

> better organization.





In our touch with

the powers at Washington and. the

financial circles of the nation, we were





, impressed, months ago, that the effort

: would be made to reduce first the price





of farm products. This purpose you

have seen realized in the milk business

and the value of the organization has

been very apparent to us, and is today.

If we take a Survey of the price in-the‘

organized and unorganized territory of

Michigan, wheie two years ago there

was a local organization that made its

influence felt upon the manufacturers,

and where we were enabled, by work-

ing with the selling committee of the

local, to get an advance that meant

hundreds of dollars a day to the com-

munity, as soon as this advance had

been gained the milk producers settled

back, feeling that they had accom-

plished all that was necessary. They

would not pay their dues to the state

organization; they would not keep up

their local organization; they simply

drifted apart, and today they are pay-

ing a tremendous price for this neglect,

for some of the condensaries in the un-

organized districts are paying one dob

lar per hundred pounds less for milk

than are condensaries {in the organized

districts of Michigan.



Some of the pewdered milk plants in

the unorganized districts of the state

are paying from fifty-five to seventy

cents per hundred pounds less than

other plants are paying in organized

districts. Consequently, we come back





to this proposition that we have assert-





ed to you so many times, and which

today is a dominating factor in all oth-

er industries—it pays to organize.





We are reminded again of the truth- V





fulness of the assertion of some of our

best statisticianse—that the organized





movement has meant to the milk pro- '

ducers of Michigan not less than ten .





per cent and probably fifteen per cent

more than otherwise would have been

obtained.



Now, we appeal to your manhood, to

your sense of fair play, and ask you to

get busy and do your part to maintain

the organization in your locality.



.Lack of maintaining the local organ-

ization is not the only cause of the re-

cent decline in the price of dairy pro-

ducts. As we have warned you so

many times, a very potent factor to

bring this decline is the determination

of political and financial interests to

reduce, first, the price of food stuffs

from the farm so that the city labor,

(which is organized), will not make

serious demands. The farmer is not

organized, he can not make effective

demands. We have warned you of this

repeatedly in the last-months. While

the high price of other commodities

was reached and maintained for years

of the war period, yet the high price

of milk was reached and maintained

for barely one month. It was the last

to go up and the first to come down.

The farmer ignores the most effective

weapon used by other industries, viz.,

organization.



Another great cause of the decline





in the price of dairy products is the.





great increase in the use of oleomar-

garine.

are now conducting a great campaign

all over the United States. Many of

their agents are in stores in Michigan

just now, and thousands of farmers are

buying this“ stuff and using it on their





on tables, ruining their own business,“





and cussing about the price of milk.

Now, whenever you get a cut in the

price of milk remembcr you helped to

bring it on. Don’t use oleomargarine.'



:v:-We must face and correct these evils

it we save the dairy industry.

3 E LAVAL





CREAM SE‘PARATOR





Formerly, with butter-fat at 25 to 35 cents a pound, a

De Laval Cream Separator saved $10 to $15 per cow per year

over gravity skimming.



Now with butter-fat selling at 50 to 65 cents a pound, and

even higher, the saving with a De Laval is doubled.



If you have only two cows and are selling cream or making

butter, 3 De Laval will soon save enough to pay for itself.



With butter~fat at present prices ,you need a De Laval more

than ever before, and if you already have an inferior or half-

worn- -out separator, your cream loss with such a machine is too

big to be neglected. .



The best cream separator you can get is the only machine 1

you can afford to use these days, and creamerymen, dairy

authorities and the 9, 325, 000 De Laval users all agree that



the De Laval is the world’s greatest





cream save-1. ’lhey know from experi-

ence that the De Laval skims the closest,

lasts the longest and gives the best

service.

Order your De Laval now and lotse “on bein our.

to my cows. For roughage I haVe good

corn, fodder with, of course, a little

corn in it, and all the red-top and 0105

ver .hay, (Which is very nice), they

want. They have "access to a very

large stock of barley, oats and rye

straw, but do not eat much of it, as

I have in my

granary now, very good corn, barley

and oats, (which are light). I have»

been feeding rye screenings, buck-





ground together; alsopsome sweet corn





’ on cob, and Carrots, but I have run out.





And I thought they did well. What is



a. good balanced ration, with what I



have, and extra I might have to buy?

Red-top; when out and cured at the





though it is not as rich in protein as





at the straw stack. ’They will eat

some with relish and you can save

some of the hay by so doing.



Corn and barley and oats will not

balance this ration of mixed hay and

straw. You must use something like

buckwheat middlings or cottonseed

meal or oil meal to furnish the requir-

ed amount of protein. If you have car-

rots so that you can feed a small

amount even once a day, it will be a

splendid thing in the ration as it fur-

nishes succulency. ‘



I suggest that you grind oats and

corn, equal parts by weight, and that

you purchase bran and mix with this

food equal parts. Besides this you will

need about two pounds of cottonseed

meal or oil meal per day for each cow.

In addition to this feed enough of the

corn, oat and bran mixture to furnish

a pound of grain per day for every

four pounds of milk produced in a day

if it tests less than four per cent, and

one pound of grain per day for every

three pounds of milk produced in a

day, if it tests more than three per

cent. ' C. C. L._





BUTTERMILK AND POTATOES

FOR PIGS.





I am feeding nine pigs that; average

about seventy pounds apiece, on but-

termilk at two cents per gallon, and

corn meal that cost three cents per

pound, and we are feeding small p0v

tatoes. Now I am thinking of buying

more small potatoes. How much mon-

ey can I pay per bushel, and what is

the value of potatoes as pig feed, and

how much can I feed at a meal?



Wayne Co. L. K.



Corn meal, boiled potatoes and but-

termilk make a splendid ration for the

growing pigs. The buttermilk furnish-

es the required amount of protein, p0-

tatoes and corn meal could be cooked

together and then made into ‘a slop by

adding the buttermilk. It should be

fed in about the proportion of one

pound of corn mealto six pounds of

buttermilk. That will give you a good

growing ration. If you feed in this





by the capacity of the pigs to " eat.

Give them all they will eat up clean

three‘times aday. ‘ _

When we, consider potatoes as a food

"we must remember that they are very

larely water and this is not figured in

the food ration. It is difficult to say

how uch‘ one can afford to pay, but I

While we have always protested

; better organization.

the ,apowers at Washington and, the





In our touch with





financial circles of the nation, we were





’impres'sed, months ago, that the'efiort ’

, would be made to reduce first the price





of farm products. This purpose you

have seen realized in the milk business

and the value of the organization has





organized and unorganized territory of

Michigan, whe1e two years ago there

was a local organization that made its





and where we were enabled, by work-





local, to get an advance that meant

hundreds of dollars a day to the com-

munity, as soon as this advance had

been gained the milk producers settled

back, feeling that they had accom-

plished all that was necessary. They

would not pay their dues to the state

organization; they would not keep up

their local organization; they simply

drifted apart, and today they are pay-

ing a tremendous price for this neglect,

for some of the condensaries in the un-

organized districts are paying one (lol-

lar per hundred pounds less for milk

than are condensaries in the organized

districts of Michigan.



Some of the pewdered milk plants in

the unorganized districts of the state

are paying from fifty-five to seventy

cents per hundred pounds less than

other plants are paying in organized

districts. Consequently, we come back

to this proposition that we have assert-

ed to you so many times, and which

today is a dominating factor in all oth-

er industries—it pays to organize.





We are reminded again of the truth- ‘





fulness of the assertion of some of our

best statisticians—that the organized

movement has meant to the milk pro-

ducers of Michigan not less than ten





per cent and probably fifteen per cent ,





more than otherwise would have been

obtained.



Now, we appeal to your manhood, to

your sense of fair play, and ask you to

get busy and do your part to maintain

the organization in your locality.



[Lack of maintaining the local organ-

ization is not the only cause of the re-

cent decline in the price of dairy pro-

ducts. As we have warned you so

many times, a very potent'factor to

bring this decline is the determination

of political and financial interests to

reduce, first, the price of food stuffs

from the farm so that the city labor,

(which is organized), will not make

serious demands. The farmer is not

organized, he can not make effective

demands. We have warned you of this

repeatedly in the last months. While

the high price of other commodities

was reached and maintained for years

of the war period, yet the high price

of milk was reached and maintained

for barely one month. It was the last

to go up and the first to come down.

The farmer ignores the most effective

weapon used by other industries, viz.,

organization.



Another great cause of the decline

in the price of dairy products is the

great increase in the use of oleomar-

The great packing interests~

are now conducting a great campaign

all over the United States. Many of

their agents are in stores in Michigan

just now, and thousands of farmers are

buying this"‘stufl.' and using it on their

own tables, ruining their own business,‘l

and cussing about the price of milk.





New, whenever you get a cut in the .





price of milk remember you helped to

CREAM SE‘PARATOR





Formerly, with butter-fat at 25 to 35 cents a pound, a

De Laval Cream Separator saved $10 to $15 per cow per year

over gravity skimming.



Now with butter-fat selling at 50 to 65 cents a pound, and

even higher, the saving with a De Laval is doubled.



If you have only two cows and are selling cream or making

butter, 9. De Laval will soon save enough to pay for itself.



With butter-fat at present prices ,you need a De Laval more

than ever before, and if you already have an inferior or half--

big to be neglected.

LIGH'I: LAMBS PAY BEST.





N order to buy and sell sheep suc-

cessfully, it is necessaryto keep a.

close watch of market quotations and

to carefully study the trend of the ‘mar-

ket. The supply and demand are fun-

damental factors affecting the market

at all times, and sheep producers must

watch the supply and demand and cal-'

culate on a safe margin between buy-

ing prices and cost of production on

the one hand, and the selling price on

the other hand.



Sheep feeders make a mistake when

they buy feeder lambs that are too

‘near the finish. The American market

does not demand a very heavy lamb, in

fact, if the lamb weighs more than one

hundred pounds on foot, he will very

often sell for less per pound than he

would if he weighed only eighty or

ninety pounds. The modern meat mar-





not a. butcher. He knows very little

about the live animal‘and the problems





. of, production. He orders histmeat from





the cooler as he needs it and tries

to cater to the desires of his customers.

Many homekeepers and a large propor-

tion of the hotels and restaurants de-

mand email/lamb chops and little car.-

casses. I reality, the keepers of res-

taurants and hotels, and even the meat

cutters know a. carcass to be a lamb

carcass on the basis of size only. ..





Good Finish Required.



Feeders should, therefore, sell lambs

or sheep which are not too heavy. They

should also purchase feeder sheep be-

fore they are too near the finish. It is

also important that sheep sold for

slaughter be sufficiently finished, but

to carry them beyond the proper finish

is expensive and may reduce the meat

profit considerably.



It always pays to dock the. lambs.

They make a neater appearance in the

market and when they are not sold

until they are five or six months old

it helps to retain quality that is so

valuable in the animal that is "for

slaughter.



Uniformity is also very important. If

a carload of sheep or lambs are very

un-uniform theygmust be moved around

and assorted so that the shrink is in-

creased. A carload of uniform lambs

always have the advantage of a car-

load that lacks uniformity because

uniformity influences the buyer not

only because they present a. more at-

tractive appearance, but also because

the buyer can calculate the approxi-

mate dressing percentage with greater

accuracy. .



Farmers Who produce lambs and

sheep for the market should attempt

to have the lamb crop come at the

same time, and keep a uniform typeof





“:their breeding flocks and use sires of





the same, breed in order that they may

insure uniformity. It is‘just as ”im-

portant that the feeder who buys his

sheep buy uniform lots that he may

realize the advantages of uniformity.

Sanilac Co. ~V ' _‘ . -

If J. A.’ means by flaxseed meal the

ground flaxseed before any of the oil

has been taken out, then it is not in





the same class as cottonseed meal or .





oil meal. Flaxseed is very rich in fat,

containing about thirty per cent, and

the ground flaxseed would not help to

balance up a ration of clover hay and

corn Silage, but you take out the fat in

the .form of linseed meal and have the

oil meal left and this gives you an en-

tirely different kind of food. This is

rich in protein.



My advice would be to mix the oats

and barley equal parts with wheat

bran and then feed two pounds of cot-

tonseed meal or two pounds of oil meal

per day per cow and a sufficient

amount of the oat, barley and bran

mixture to make a pound 0t grain per

day for every four pounds of milk pro-

duced in a day if it tests less than four

CONDUC ED BY DR. W. C. FAIR.

Heifer Fails to Come in Heat—We

have a heii‘er 20 months “old that has

failed to come in heat. What had I

better give her? 0. W. G., Flat Rock,

Mich—Give her 30 grains of ground

nux vomica, 60 grains of ground capsi-

cum and 60 grains of ginger in ground

grain three times a day. If she is a

twin and has a brother, she will per-

haps never breed.



Umbilical Hernia—Where can I pur-

chase a clamp to use in the treatment

of an eight-inonths-old colt that has a

navel rupture? The hole in abdomen

is about one inch in diameter. R. G.,

Hillman, Mich.———The Detroit Veteri-

nary Instrument & Supply Company,

33 West Congress St., Detroit, Mich.,

or Sharp & Smith, 65 E. Lake St., Chi-

cage, 11]., can supply you with clamp.

The writer believes that the clamp

treatment will fail, the abdominal wall

will not unite. The wall should first

be scarified, then securey stitched,

then the skin stitched or clamped.



Loss of Vision-I have a three-year-



Old colt that seems to be going blind.

What can I do for her? I believe she

can tell the difference between day and

night. H. T. M., Albion, Mich—Failure

on your part to give me the history of

the case and a few leading symptoms,

I am unable to know what is causing

this loss of vision. However, I am in-

clined to believe little can now be done

to help postpone loss of sight. Perhaps

you had better give her good care and

apply no treatment.

. Stifle Ailment—l would like to know

if much can be done for a stifled horse?

He gets up and down all right, walks

sound, but I have been afraid to work

him. W. R. K., Goblesville, Mich.——If

you will apply one part turpentine, one

part aqua ammonia and two parts of

.olive oil to stifle once a day, he will be

able to do moderate work.



Rheumatism.-—l am anxious to know

what is causing my pigs to become

lame in hind quarters. They are fed

corn, beans, middlings, slop and cooked

potatoes. W. CS,“ Six Lakes, Mich.—

Muscular rheumatism is frequently

brought on by exposure to cold, and

living in damp filthy pen. Rheumatism

Articular, where the joints are affected

is often the result of infection of some

kind. Feed your pigs less corn, more

roots and some tankage. Gtve each 50-

pound pig three grains of sodium sal-

icylate at a dose two or three times

a day, ‘



Suppurating Glands—One of my

cows is troubled with boils on legs.

These bunches seem to spring up grad-

ually, open, discharge fluid then heal.

1Shall We use her milk? F. F., Petos-





 





key, Mich—Paint bunches with tinc-

_.‘.ture iodine daily and give her 1 dr.

egonzfisfif potassium iodide in feed or





king .water two or three times at

A A Michigan organization to afford protection to Michigan live stock owners.

«We have paid over $17,000 in death losses since we began business July

5131,1917.





Is there any strogggar argument for this class of insurance than $17, 000

of losses on 81, 500 of business?





Your animals are well and sound today but tomorrow some of them are

" dead. Insure them before it is too late.





. We indemnify owners of live stock—horses, cattle, sheep and begs, for loss

by.accident and disease.

more for their grain through feeding

than by selling for cash. The reports

state that thirty country elevators in

grain. The visible supply increased

321,000 bushels during the past week.

THE NEW YORK PRODUCE MAR-

Butter.——~The butter market has been

weak and fluctuating throughout the

week. On Monday with light receipts

.the quotation on butter of high quality

advanced one cent, but on the follow-

ing day increased receipts and scar-

city of buyers caused a marked break

and the quotation on extras declined

four cents. That was followed by a

further drop of one cent on Wednes~

day. From Tuesday to Thursday very

little butter moved but on Friday

there was a fair amount of trading and

a gain of a half cent was made. The

established quotations at present are

as follows: - Extras (92 score) 521/2 (11'

53c; higher scoring than extras (93

score or higher) 531/2@540; firsts (88

to 91 score) 46%;(1611/20; seconds (83

to 87 score) 43((12451/20.





Cheese.~The situation as regards

cheese has changed very little from

last week. There has been a slight

downward tendency because of reports

of increased makes in the western

cheese producing areas. As yet there

has been no great influx of fresh make.





,‘There continues to be a scarcity of





high quality held cheese. Good qua1~





ity, current make, average run, is quo-'





ed at 28@291/2c. Specials have a range

of values of about one cent higher.





Eggs—«The egg market continues un-

settled and fluctuating. Merchants are

making unusual efforts to keep their

stocks cleaned up. Even slight ac-

cumulations are a signal for a reduced

price. The bulk of the trading during

the week has been in firsts, which are

quoted at 401/2 @421/30. Extra firsts

are selling at 4261:4130, while a few

flies}; gathered extras reach a "price

0 c.





Poultry—Receipts of live poultry

have been light during the week. The

‘market is strong and active with pric-

es tending to advance. Fowls sell

readily at 400; smooth-legged chickens

at 34c; old roosters 260; turkeys 35@

40c; ducks 40c; geese weak at 21@22c.

" HE proof of the pudding is in the eating.” Results are what count and results are what

you want from your dairy cows. \ When we tell (you thatOSCHUMACHER FEED is the eatest

result producing, carbohydrate or maintenance airy ration, the assertion is backed, up y facts



as per the above letter from Senator Hackneyj—facts that aremdisputable. When 32 World’s Cham-.

pion Cows have made their world’s recordswhile fed SCHUMACHER FEED asa carbohydrate part of .

their ration, it’s pretty good evidence that it Will prove the best result producing feed for YOUR cows.





Schumacher Feed AND Big “Q” Dairy Ration





fed in combination make the ideal dairy ration for long time milk production. SCHUMACHER FEED

beause of its palatability, high digestibility‘and squiCient bulk keeps cows “on their feed” and—supplies
