CURRENT COMMENT





UR readers will

recall the details

of a proposed plan for

the securing of better

crop statistiCS in this

state which resulted

from a conference held in the oifice of

the Secretary of State last winter.

Briefly, this plan contemplated the con-

solidation of the federal and state crop

reporting service under a cooperative

arrangement. Under the proposed plan

provision was made for the collection

of statistics on the acreage of import-

ant crops by the supervisors of the

state at the time of making the annual

assessment each spring. Under pres-

ent conditions a crop acreage can be

accurately checked up only once in

ten years, when the federal census is

taken, and there is a consequent factor

‘ of error in estimates of acreage of im-

portant crops for the succeeding dec-

1 ado, which factor increases with the

'passing years until the next census

year furnishes an accurate basis for

readjustment.



A bill was introduced into the legis-

lature and passed the house, providing

tor the collection of such statistics by

the supervisors of the various town-

ships. This was known as House Bill

No. 179, File No. 116, entitled, “A bill



" for the collection of agricultural sta-

tistics by supervisors.” During the

111811 of the closing davs of the legisla-

tum, this bill failed to pass the senate.

Europe organization 1 s s u e (1





this week by Herbert

Hoover shows the volume of American

food stuffs which are being taken for

this relief work. The total distribution

for April represented the cargoes of

one hundred and twenty steamships,

and a gross value of approximately

$147,800,000. _



In commenting upon this distribu-

tion, which included supplies to the

people of fifteen European nations, Mr.

Hoover stated that if the great st1eam

of food could be maintained until J uly,

the situation would be saved until the

next harvest in Europe. Regarding the

great need of food stuffs to alleviate

starvation in Europe, 'Mr. Hoover is

quoted as follows: “Altogether for the

first time I begin to believe that Amer-

ica is gaining against the greatest fam-

ine the world has eVen seen since the

thirty years’ war.”



Incidentally he is quoted as includ-

ing among the benefits derived, aside

from the purely, humanitarian view-

point, that in his belief by the feeding

of starving Europe we shall have pass-

ed the danger point of the spread of

Bolshevism. The financing of this

great undertaking has been accom-

plished by the allies with the heaviest

proportionate burden falling on this

country. -





In addition to the feeling of satisfac-

tion which it will give every American

that our land has been able to mitigate

the suffelings of the peoples of war

st1icken Eumpe, there is the assur-

ance for American farmers in this

great movement of food stuffs, that the

products of their farms will continue

to find a ready market over a large

portion of the world, since it is certain

that Europe will continue to need our

products to supplement its own har-

vest, which can hardly be expected to

come up to pre-war production.

affiliation of all tam

ers’ organizations in

the state have been

made the subject of repeated comments

in these columns. To this end we long

championed the idea of a state and na-

tional chamber of agriculture built on

similar lines to the existing Chamber

of Commerce of the United States,

which is to some extent at least utiliz-

ed in a get-together program by the

commercial interests of the country.



Since the State Farm Bureau was

organized, this type of organization

was so nearly parallel to that which

had been proposed for a chamber of

agriculture, that it seemed definitely to

fill the bill in providing a get-together

medium for the ~fainrr‘iers’ business or-

ganizations of the state. Later the

organization of a national farm bureaur

by such states as had launched a state

organization of this kind broadened

the possibilities of building a success-

ful and representative farmers' orgam

ization which could properly, represent

the business of agriculture in any

emergency.



Since the organization of the State

Farm Bureau there has been a rapid

increase in and extension of the coun-

ty organizations affiliated with it. This

is exceedingly gratifying to ‘all who

have an unselfish interest in the ad-

vancement of our agriculture. The

secretary of the State Farm Bureau

has worked untiringly to this end, but

obviously cannot take the initiative at

all points in the great state of Michi-

gan at one time, audit the progress of

this organization is to depend upon his

efforts, working simply through the

county farm bureaus, progress will be

much slower in the development of an

adequate get-tbgether program than is

desirable.



There is every reason why the farm-

ers' business organizations throughout

the state should join hands in this

movement in a general get-together

program, as upon this foundation it

will be possible to build a suitable or-

ganization more quickly than in any

other way which will be able to prop-

”which medicaid ‘ ‘





tive organization as well as every so-

cial and semidbusiness organization

should take the initiative to affiliate

with this state organization. In this

way the needed get-together program

could be very materially hastened, and

special as well as general agricultural

interests of the state could command

the influence of an organization repre

senting the interests of agriculture as

a whole whenever the same may be

needed.



This would mean cooperation in the

broadest sense, and such cooperation

may be more essential than many of

us now realize in the not distant fu-

ture. The prosecution of the officers

of the Milk Producers’ Association of

the Chicago area which was made the

subject of comment in a recent issue,

and which involves the question of the



right of collective bargaining by farm-



ers—is an illustration of this possible

need of a comprehensive organization

with which all ou1 other independent

farmers’ organizations are affiliated in

the very near future.



The State Farm Bureau as organized

is a Simon-pure farmers’ organization

wholly independent of national or state

influence, and should be maintained on

this high plane as a medium for the

betterment of farm business conditions

as supplementary to the economic bet

terments resulting from county farm

bureau ‘work as established and con—

ducted at the present time. This re-

suit can be quickly accomplished only

through the means of a get together

progiam in which the officers and mem-

bers of every farm organization take

the initiative in affiliation with this

state organization instead of waiting

for the slower process of propaganda

initiating with the officers and direc-

tors of the State Farm Buieau. Let us

all help to promote this get together

program at once and to the limit of our

ability, to the end that Michigan farm

interests may be prepared to speak as

a unit on all matters alfecting ‘the bus-

iness of agriculture in this state.

the discouraging weather conditions

which have prevailed during recent

many an overburdened farmer which

makes his lot seem doubly hard. Truly

the farmers in the territory supplying

New York City with milk, and equita-

ble prices for their products, forms

- one of the most interesting chapters

in the annals of American agriculture.



The supplying of New York City

with milk is a business of vast magni-

tude. More than forty thousand farm-

ers, with an investment of over $400,-

000,000, are engaged in producing milk

for the New York market. For years

this milk supply was controlled by a

combinatiorn of large dealers now

known as the Milk Conference Board.

This combination fixed prices to the

producer and consumer, and vast for-

tunes were made by the dealers, while

thousands of farmers unable to con-

tinue in the business of producing

milk at a loss, sold their herds and

abandoned their farms.



Those farmers more favorably situ~

ated, who were able to hold on, after

years of individual effort to secure fair

prices, made an attempt to organize

their forces in the Five States’ Milk

Producers’ Association, but without

results.



All through these years the milk dis-

tributors’ combine was reaching farth-

to the league that the dealers were

posting a price of $3.60 at their coun‘

try stations. The league immediate]

notified the farmers that the milk was

not sold. Farmers refused to *deliver

at every station, and the strike

was on.” _ i



This action resulted in a serious

milk famine in the city, in spite of’the’

efforts of the dealers to bring in milk 3

from distant points. The city authori-

ties took the matter in hand, and an '.

attempt was made by Disu‘ict-Attorney g

Swann and his assistant, John T. Dool- .

ing, to compel the dairymen to deliver g

milk to the distributors’ trust. The '

-league officials were vigorously assail-

ed and condemned, and the dairymen

held up to contempt, being accused of ,

withholding milk from starving babies

and the hospitals. The. league officials

refused to be intimidated, answering

their accusers with an offer to provide

the hospitals with milk, but their offer

was turned down by the city officials.



The farmers stood firm. “From ev-

ery part of the lezgue territory,” says

Mr. Eastman, “there came hundreds of

letters and telegrams assuring the offi-

cers that every part of the territory

was solid. Counties from which thou-

sands of cans of milk ordinarily come

were completely dry. Not only mem-

bers but non-members as well were

fighting side by side.” A rousing meet-

ing attended by two thousand milk ,

producers was held at L'tica, the senti-

ment being that never again would the I

farmers sell their milk at the dealers'

terms.



The farmers won. The dealers gave

in and agreed to pay the league price.

The dairymen demonstrated again that .7

they could hold together, in the face of i

the strongest opposition. They also

realized the seriousness of a milk

strike to all parties; that while the

victory was theirs it had cost them

heavily in reduced consumption and

demand. And they also realized more

forcibly than ever that the one great

problem still unsettled was what to do

with the surplus.



There is sure to be a. surplus'at cer- .

tain periods of the year, and as long

as this condition exists with no means

of utilizing it in the country, the deal— "

ers can utilize this surplus as a means

of hammering down prices.



Soon after the January milk settle-

ment, the league leaders called in their

best legal talent to devise a plan for

handling this surplus. Their studies

and investigations convinced them

that no plan would be effective which

did not include in its scope control of »

the country end of the milk handling ”5

and shipping business. 7



The plan decided upon includes the ,,

organization of the Dairymen’s Coop- it“

erative Association embracing the

whole league organization in New“

York state; regional cooperative asso-'

ciations covering one or several coun-

\ ,
HE Six million, or more, farmers

in the United States, who re-

‘sponded, in the name of patriot-

g with sufficient food to make the

rid safe, are beginning to wonder

' e‘their business comes in undei

new order of democracy, particu-

y with regard to the cost of produc-

' and distribution of farm products.

"That the farmers do not figure in

industrial affairs 01' the United

.tes in proportion to their numbers,

mOunt of capital invested or service

nflered is due largely to the fact that

key have failed to impress the other

ndustries with the importance of their

rm business. Of course, the busi-

ess man and consumer have some

idea of the farmer and his services to

the country, but when it comes to a

thorough understanding of the real,

ve working farmer, producing abund-

”fly and minding his own business,

they. know mighty little.

0 know has come thrOugh reading

magazines and city dailies rather than

from any intimate knowledge of the

farmer and his surroundings.



It is to be regretted that the farmer,

as well as the business of agriculture

is not understood thoroughly by the

great leaders of industry and the great

.mass of consumers. It would be ad-

vantageous for all of the other indus-

tries to know the farmer better, and

'to understand more clearly the exact

State of his mind in regard to having

his business and its requirements left.

‘out of consideration in deciding issues

' concerning manufacturing, transporta~

tion, distribution and lab01 problems

As the most extensive buver of manu-

factured goods, shipper, p1oduce1 of

necessities of life and employer of la—

bor, he feels that the time has now

come for him to stand on a plane of

equity and even—handed justice with

other big industries, and share with

them proportionately in the control of

" government affairs which influence the

business conditions of the country.



If the six million or more farmers

in the United" States could only tell

the leaders of other industries, and

the ninety- four million consumers how

much it costs them to p1oduce the nec-

, essities of life, how many hours a day

they and their families woxk, how they

live, how much they spend for luxur-

ites and clothes, this persistent agita-

tion and everlasting wolfing about

cheaper food supplies would cease and

farmers would be encouraged to go

ahead and plan for even greater pro

auction for the future. Because of the

incredible fact that the only provision

ever made for getting the farmer’s

ideas across to other industries and

consumers consists of a number of

cost of production bulletins all tucked

away in nice, neat, safe little pigeon-

,holes in Washington, all trying to be

”good, harmless little bulletins, just as

Secretary Houston wants them to be,

Fmtunately thele are developing

now all over the United States what

are known as farm bureaus, composed

of associations of farmers who are. do-

ing business in a large way. These

bureaus are now organizing state and

national federations so that it is going

to be possible to cooperate and plan

countrywide movements to the end

that our people may be insured of a

regular and abundant supply of food

and that the selling and distributing

end of the farming business may be

better developed. Nobody is mere in~

terested than the farmer in the per-

fecting of our national machinery of

distribution. Not only his profits but

the stability of his business depends

upon it. Not until We know more

about agriculture as a whole, as well

as that of our own particular commu-

nity, can we map out an intelligent

system of food production and distribu-

tion. VV‘ithout some big organization

such as the county farm bureau, with

its state and national federations, to

his business above the primitive level

rainy, weather there was one



farmer in southern Michigan

who got his corn ground plowed be-

tween showers, and mighty Quick. One

day it didn’t rain, and it was Friday;

called an unlucky day by some folks.

But it was lucky for Eber Farwell, for

a bunch of folks made a sort of bee

for him ‘and plowed his twenty-acre

meadow in less than an hour and a.

half.



And the next day it rained again.



For quite a spell beforehand the

farmers, their wives, sons and daugh-

ters, had been anxiously awaiting one

of the most, important and prominent

events that was ever pulled off on any

farm in Michigan. '



A big demonstration of gas tractors

pulling gang-plows will draw a crowd

in any section of. the country out west;

but it is not a common sight here-

abouts. It was advertised that on May

1-2 a tractor demonstration would be

held on the Eber Farwell farm, two

miles east of Goldwater.





.The first day it rained and poured.

The next mOrning we rose early and

started out. About noon we reached

Goldwater and found an immense

crowd gathering. Coldwater streets

were full of-automobiles and the side-

walks packed with folks from almost

everywhere.



By the time the gas tractors were

starting to plow there were about four

thousand farmers, their wives, sons

and daughters, and quite a sprinkling

of city folks, on hand to see the sight.

The roads in every direction as far as

the eye could see were full of automo-

biles. The minimum estimate was ov-

er six hundred of them, all loaded with

people. Lots of women from the city

were present and they took a keen in-

terest in the machines.



It was the most wonderful tractor

plowing demonstration we ever saw

this side of the Mississippi river. It

cost several hundréd dollars for each

manufacturer of gas tractors and

plows, and must have been quite a bill

for the Branch county farm bureau.



This demonstration was conceived

and worked out byC. L. Nash, county

agricultural agent for Branch county.

He was assisted during the demonstra-

Agricultural College, C. T. Parker, also

of M. A. C., and county agricultural

agent, J. M. Wendt, of St. Joseph coun-

ty. Mr. Robey was general manager

of the demonstration.



The field was laid out and blue-

prints and printed instructions regard-

ing all details were furnished to every

demonstrator and his assitant. There

were sixteen gas tractors entered, but

one failed to show up. The fifteen

tractors were attached to gangs hav-

ing two, three and four plows. A light

tractor that pulled but two plows had

a strip forty-four feet wide to plow.

The majority of the tractors pulled

three plows each and plowed strips

sixty-six feet wide. One big tractor

had four plows and was assigned to a

strip eighty-eight feet wide. Each plow

cut a fourteen-inch-wide furrow and

was required to plow seven inches

deep. '



Remember, this was not a contest,

but a demonstration. Manager Robey

and Mr. Nash made it plain from the

start that no contest was to be al-

lowed.



All the tractors did fine work and

the plows turned over the surface soil

‘of that entire field in nice. straight and

even furrows that did the farmers good

to look-at. That field‘ stands plowed

today just a little bit deeper than it

was ever plowed before. The soil is a

medium loam with some cobblestone

in places. In the years gone by the

hand-plows have been tossed about

mere or less in the stony soil, but the

gang—plows hung to the job like a bull-

dog and (lid mighty little dodging.



The field was laid out to plow the

land north and south. A light furrow

was turned over across each end of

the field east and West exactly forty-

five feet from the fence row. This pro-

vided a head-land at each end for turn-

ing around in striking out the backfur-

rows and plowing off the lands.





 





From an elevated position on top of

a gasoline tank truck we took several

general views as the demonstration

progressed. The first view shows over

the heads of the crowd lined up around

the machines. It was estimated that

nearly three thousand farmers were in

sight at that time, and they were close-

ly watching every move of the oper-

ators and their assistants.



At a given signal. from Field Manag-

er Robey, each man started his motor.

He was allowed to run ten minutes to

get it warmed up. At the next signal,

given at the center of the field, each

operator‘ started up and let his plows

down into the headland furrow. Then

another signal followed and the job

was started and no stop made until

each operator had finished plowing his

land.



From our elevation we had a fine

utes after the first picture was taken.





we took the second one, which shows

how quickly the crowd scattered to fol-

low up the tractors and plows. In an-

other five minutes the entire field was

black with people going in every direc-

tion.



Later on Manager Robey gathered

up his assistants from the four corners

of the field, and we. took a group pic-

ture of them standing across a dead-

furrow, each armed with his yardstick

or blueprint of the battle ground.





There were a total of forty plow

bottoms, each cutting a'i‘ourteen-inch-

wide furrow; or a strip forty-six feet,

eight inches wide a: each passage

across the field. That made things

count up fast and no wonder that twen-

ty-acre field’s surface soil took a quick





flop-over that unlucky Friday that it‘





didn’t rain.



It was surprising to see how straight

nearly every operator steered and turn-

ed over his back—furrow in striking

out his line along the stakes set in the

field survey. At first there, was one or

two who did not have the plows set

quite deep enough. The

were on hand everywhere and took

measurements frequently. The aver-

age was seven inches in depth.



The furrows were cut and. laid over

with a proper angle and lap that is ac-

ceptable to the expert plowman. All

trash was turned under and the plow-

ed furrows of that field were as fine to

look at as any we ever saw turned by

an expert Scotchman with a walking

plow. .



Fortunately there was hardly a tight

stone in the entire field. The wonder

was that nearly every operator started





in with his tractor and gang-plow and ’-





kept going until the finish with hardly

a stop for any tinkering. Once in a.





while a wheel on some, plow would.

on the next head-land and squirt in

some oil.





As a result of this demonstration the '





great crowd of farmers present found

that almost any one of these gas tracs

tors would do a good job in handling





a gang-plow and was comparatively.





easy to operate.

News' of the

to my inquiry. however, Secretary H.

E. Cox, of the State Bean Growers’

Cooperative Association, tells me that

so far no local association for market-

ing the bean crop has been formed in

this ter1itory.



“There appears to- be a decided lack

of interest,” says Mr. Cox, “in regard

to maintaining the bean industry in

New York state. It is difficult to get

farmers to organize and stick, and just

now bean growers are greatly discour-

aged, and with good cause, for the

past three years both weather condi-

tions and plant diseases have combin-

ed to cause heavy losses to the grow-

ers, and besides these drawbacks the

markets and marketing conditions

have been very unsatisfactory. For-

man will tell us what the weather con-

we will soon be growing good crops of

beans again. If the beans can be plant-

ed from slit to eight days before heavy

rains come the crop is generally safe.

but such weather occurring before

they get started above ground spells

disaster.



“I believe the bean growers will bear

me out in saying that the wheat crop

grown after beans is produced at less

expense and shows a better average

yield than after other spring planted

crops. In addition it provides a quick

return cash crop just when money is

most needed.”

taking less interest in the exploitation,

if that be the right word, of the native

THE LIVE STOCK TRADE.





 





KANSAS breeder is filling an or-



der for ten thousand breeding cows

to be shipped to France and Belgium

to restock the depleted herds. The

United» States has an advantage. in

this business over the great cattle-pro-

ducing countries of South America, as

the herds here are healthy, while- the

Brazilian and Argentine cattle suffer

from diseases.





tion of peace, E. W. Roux, president

of the Kansas City Live Stock Ex—

change, said:





"Live stock trade will be stimulated

when peace is actually completed. It

is my belief that right in the Kansas

City stockyards. and at othei of our

large live stock markets, we will see

Europe buying young cattle to restock

farms and pastures. South America

cannot compete with us on this live-

cattle trade, for her countries have

serious epidemics of foot and mouth

disease, which is a dangerous and high-

ly infectious malady. The cattle herds

of the United States are healthy and

absolutely free from such diseases. In

the case of dressed beef, however,

South America is competing success-

fully, too successfully, against the

United'States. So far as pork is con-

cerned, America is the world’s leading

producer of hogs and the principal

source of supplies of that food. Other

export hog trade is now of unprece-

dented volume, and peace will help to

maintain and improve that business.

The $21-hog market, the highest in

history, is the result of European buy-

ing on a vast scale in our provision

markets.”





FARM BUREAUS GROW.





ROM the fifty-five farm bureaus in



New York state preliminary re-

ports have been received, indicating

that the membership in the bureaus,

reckoned to April 1, was 62,554 as

against 43,603 for April 1, 1918, an in-

crease of 18,951 members. '





Membership campaigns were con-

ducted in nearly all of the bureaus last

winter and returns are largely in from

these contests. There have been some

holdups, owing to the influenza out-

breaks. By July 1, it is ‘expected that

the membership will stand at 65,000 or

more for the state at large.





Otsego county reports the largest

membership, with 2,232 members. Ti~

oga county reports the highest percent-

age of farmers who are members, 67.1

per cent of the farm bureau. Seven

counties report that fifty per cent or

more members: Tioga 67.1 per cent;

Nassau 57.3 per cent; Madison 51.2

per Cent; Herkimer 52.8 per cent;

Genesee 50.4 per cent; Niagara 50.8

per cent, and Orleans 50.3 per cent.





 





FROST DAMAGE . SHOWS SLOWLY.





 





T will be some time before the exact



damage of the recent frosts can be

calculated,” states W. J. Green, horti-

culturist at the Ohio Experiment Sta«

tion. “Practically the only reliable

data are the temperatures collected by

the Weather Bureau and where the

temperatures reported were below 01

near twenty-six degrees considerable

damage has been done.



“Testing of the fruit buds does not

always reveal the damage done by the

frost. Oftentimes a peach bud or deal

veloping fruit the size of a shot will

sum to be perfectly normal but in' a

few weeks’ time it will blight and fall

to the ground. There is no definite

way of telling the exact damage done





to fruit'until the drops are estimated.”





Prdfessor Green points out that even,





when five per cent of the peach blos—

soms are unharmed by frost .there is

still a chance of having a fair crap as

nature produces blossoms so muCh

more in ex'cess than the number of

fruits that are really set.





The weather reports concerning the





temperature in the peach-producing

districts has not been below thirty-one

degrees so that probably little damage~

.w'has been done-in those mam. ' ‘

a ready-mixed fertilizer or one



that is made up of the separate

‘parts and mixed at home, there is the

“after-value” to take into considera-

tion when figuring the benefits derived

from the fertilizer.



So many times we seem to think

that whatever we are ahead for the

one season is what our fertilizer is

worth to us. That is a safe place to

stop figuring all right, but it is not a

fair one. I can safely figure that every

dollar I have spent for fertilizer has

made me from $2.00 to $4.00 in increas~

ed production. This is on the aver-

age, of course, and I know of some

acres that have made much more than



1 this.



Three years ago I had a field of two

acres in onions from seed. Previous

to this the field was in potatoes and

had about four hundred pounds to the'

acre of a complete fertilizer. The on-

ion field had one thousand pounds to

the acre of a' high-grade onion fertiliz-





er. The year the onions were planted ,





it was rather dry and so a good deal

of fertility was not available that year.

The year following the potatoes and

corn the field was planted to corn

along with a few acres adjoining it,

which had been in potatdes two years

instead of onions as the other two

acres were. The yield of corn was

nearly a ton better on the old onion

bed than on the other part. Besides

that it was of better quality and matur-

ed early enough to be solid and mar-

ketable at once. That, of course, was

one reason why there was so much

difference in the yield—Lit was so well

matured that it was solid and market-

able.‘ The other part of the field was

rather soft.



And while I am mentioning it I want

to add that here is one point about fer-

tilizer that we do not consider enough

—early maturity. With me this is

worth fully as much as the large

yields. In fact, in many cases that .is

just what it means—larger yields be-

cause of early maturity. In the short

corn seasons that we have, it is a

quicker way of getting an early corn

than breeding corn up, though both

methods of course, will help just that

much more.



I have another instance of the after-

value of fertilizer in'my own experi-'

ence. A field of a little over two acres

was planted to onions from the seed

and twelve hundred pounds of a com-

plete fertilizer was used to the acre.

The onions were fair. The next year

this field and another part next to it

was in sugar beets. The total acreage

came to about four, I think. Now,

when one looked over the field during

the growing season there was not

much difference to be seen, but when

yougot under the leaves there was a

lot of difference. When the yield was

measured the hive acres that had fer-

tilizer went almost twenty tons to the

acre. To anyone who is not used to

the beet crop let me say that twenty

tons is a mighty satisfactory yield. I

have raised slightly less than ten tons

to the acre and thought it was a fairly

good crop. I am sorry that' I can’t give

the exact yield of the rest of the field

but I am not sure enough to 'say ex-

cept that I figured at the time that it

was mighty good pay for the fertility



, used even. if the onions hadn’t been

taken off the year before. And I might

.add, too, that the next year‘ after beets

this field-was in corn and thediffer-



hence could be seen even then. Just



;_ what it was I could not tell, but it was

.to be seen easily during the growing

,season. - S. I.





.In this era of cheap; wOven-wire

' fences there, is no excuse for a nasty,

"ill-smelling hogyard near the heuse,

DIVERTING WATER FROM ITS ‘

NATURAL COURSE.





 





About twenty-five years ago the

township board caused ditches to be

dug drawing water from. two pools, af~

fecting the public highway which

throws it on to my place, causing an

excess of water which has done much

damage during the past three years I

have owned it. Is there any means by

which I can compel them to take care

of the water? E. L.





The public authorities have no more

.right than any individual to throw sur-

face water on to any neighbor. Sur-

face water is a common enemy and

everyone must get rid of it the best

way he can by draining it into’ some

natural water course, but he has no

right to cast it upon anyone else out

of its natural course of drainage; and

he cannot even collect seeping surface

waters running over a large territory

and discharge them upon his neighbor

below, even though a large part of the

water would eventually reach his

neighbor by seepage. His remedy is

to petition for a public ditch unless he

can agree with his neighbor.



But all this has nothing to do with

the present case, as it would seem, for

the wrong was done twenty-five years

ago, and a right of discharge has been

acquired by prescription by reason of

adverse use for the statutory period. If

complaint had been made in time it is





been had, but at the present time

there is 'no remedy unless there are

other facts than those stated, except by

getting the consent of the public an

thorities to correct the difficulty, or by

assuming the burden of drainage your-

self. JOHN R. R001).





INCUBATING DUCK aces.





 





Will you please tell me if it is a

good plan to set duck eggs in an incu-

bator, and if so, how high should the

temperature be?



Jackson Co. R. B.





Duck eggs can be hatchedoartificially

with considerable success and the tem-

perature needed is 103 degrees, the

same as for hens' eggs. Good ventila-

tion is necessary in the incubator.

Some breeders advise using moisture

pans in the incubator, beginning on

the sixth day. Ducklings will usually

pip the shell on the twenty-sixth day

and then take a rest and not emerge

until the twenty-eighth day. Do not at-

tempt tb assist any of the ducklings

by removing the shells on the twenty-

sixth day. If they seem quite dry, it

will pay to heat water to one hundred

and four degrees and use it to sponge

the eggs. Then replace them quickly

in the machine and close the door and

keep it closed until the hatch is over

to prevent the moisture from escaping.





 





sov BEANS WITH CORN FOR '

SILAGE.





Is it advisable to grow isoy beans

with the corn intended to be ensiloed?

If so at what time should they be





planted? Also, what amount per acre

and best variety? ’

Oakland Co. J..J. H.





The consensus of opinion from every

source that, I can gain information is

that it pays to plant soy beans with

ensiiage corn for silage. Personally, I

have used this crop for a number of

years and believe that it is profitable.

Careful experiments have been made

which show that the tonnage of ensil-

age is increased sufficiently tomake it

profitable, and besides, the soy bean

plant is richer in protein than the corn

plarit and hence" it makes: a' better

duality of en‘silage, a more nearly bal-

ancederation. . . ._ ,, ,

newness] ‘not .ex





pec‘t, however, to





 





getgas large‘Aa-growth of Soy beans in ‘





very probable that redress might have,





. X





the corn shades them. However, with

favorable conditions the growth of the

bean plant will surprise you. Some of

them seem to grow just as vigorous as

they would anywhere. The object of

planting them.‘ with the corn rather

than planting them separately is be-

cause you can harvest them at the

same time you do the corn without

any extra expense whatever. .

They should be planted at the sam

time the corn is planted and they

ought to be planted shallow. There is

an attachment made to some kinds of

corn planters that enables one to plant

corn and soy' beans at the same time.

We have mixed the soy beans with fer-

tilizer and then run them through the

fertilizer attachment of the corn plant-

er which gives a fairly even distribu~

tion and this plants the beans shallow«

er than the corn, which is correct. If

you don’t want to use fertilizer you can

use screened earth to mix the beans

with and plant them in this way.

Another way of planting the beans

is to go over the rows again after you

have planted with a corn planter and

plant the beans. Of course, in this

case both the corn and beans can be

planted only in drills. C. C. L.





MlLLET FOR HAY.





 





Is millet good feed for milch cows

and horses? Is it as good as corn fod~

der for milch cows?



Lenawee Co. E. A.





Hungarian grass makes a. little bet-

ter hay, I think, than millet. Either

plant, however, ought to be sown quite

thickly so that it will not grow co'arse,

and if it is out before it gets ripe,

when it is nicely in the blow, it makes

hay of good quality and as valuable.

ton for ton, as timothy hay, and ton

for ton it is much more valuable than

cornstalks. C. C. L.





 





Griowmc RED KIDNEY BEANS}





 





I would like your opinion of red kid-

ney beans as a crop to raise this year.

We have been pea bean. raisers but

have thought that there might possibly





the standing corn as you would if you

» planted the beans separately, because





 

 

 





   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 





be more in a few acres of red kidneys. '





Please advise me the manner of rais-

ing, marketing, etc.





According to market prices and in-

formation derived from market sources

'there seems to be an unusual demand

at the present time for red kidney

beans. That means that the supply is

short and the price is good. This would

indicate that a man would be showing

good business judgment if he raised a

portion of his beans this year red kid-

neys. However, it must be understood

that the red kidney bean market can

be overdone and if an unusual acreage

should. be planted this year probably

the price would not be as high next

year. I would not care to advise any-

one - about. planting any crop. You

know as much about what the market

conditions will be when you get a crop

harvested as I do, or anybody else. It

would seem to be good judgment to

plant at least a portion of the acreage

usually' put into white navy beans to

red kidney beans, but conditions may

change. 0. C. L.

- How can an adjoining farm neighbor-

be' c‘ompelled'to build and keep-in re-

pair his-half of the common line fence?

What is a lawful fence, and who de-

cides? ‘ W M. H

A legal fence is four and a half feet

high, substantially built,‘ of stone,

boards, rails, wire, or any equally suit-

able material, such as hedges, ditches,

etc., etc.

The sufficiency of the fence is deter-





mined in each case by the overseer of '





highways and the highway commis-

sioner, or if either is interested or 0th-

erwise incompetent -his place is filled

by one of the justices of the peace not

member of the town board. This body

is called the “fence-viewers.”

The statute provides: “In case any

, party shall neglect to repair or rebuild

any partition fence, whiCh of right he

ought to maintain, the aggrieved party

may complain to two or more fence-

viewers of the township, who, after due

notice to each party, shall proceed to

examine the same; and if they shall

determine that the fence is insufficient,

they shall signify the same in writing

to the delinquent occupant of the land,

and direct him to repair or rebuild the

same within such time as they shall

judge reasonable; and if such fence.

shall not be repaired or rebuilt accord- ‘

ingly, it shall be lawful for the com-

plainant to repair or rebuild the same.”





 





The law then provides for adding the ‘

cost to the taxes of the delinquent

party. JOHN R. Roon.





CEMENT BOTTOM lN SILO.





 





I am thinking of building a silo and

I have been advised not to put a ce—

ment bottoin in it. I will build a steel

silo and would like to know which is

best. A good many of the silos around

here are full of water in the bottom

when empty and they advise me not

to put a bottom in my silo. What

would you advise? ' C. A. G.





My advise would be to put a good

cement bottom in the silo. If an ex-

cavation is made for the bottom of the

silo when the silo is empty water may

seep in. This water must be bailed

out before the silo is filled in the fall,

but after the silo has been filled there

is no chance for the water to seep in,

on account of the pressure of the sil-

age from within. The juice of the

corn plant which doessettle to the

bottom of the silo somewhat, especial-

ly if the corn is a little bit green when

the silo is filled, rarely is present in

sufficient quantities to cause any in-

convenience in feeding. The silage is

a little more moist at the bottom than

at the top and once in a great while it

will be inclined to be pretty wet but

usually this moisture does not inter~

fere at all 'with the quality of the sil-

age nor with the convenience of hand-

ling it.



This natural juice of the corn plant

ought not to be allowed to seep away

into the ground. It is a part of the

corn plant. It ought to be saved.

Again, if you don’t have a cement bot-

tom in the silo you are liable to get

rats. They will sometimes dig under

the foundation of the silo and come up

from the bottom and a large portion of

the silage can be absolutely destroyed

by one or two rat holes that come up

from the bottom. It a little pains is

taken to make the bottom of the silo

oval in shape like the bottom of a k‘et~

tle then if there is too much corn

juice in the bottom the silage can be

taken out of the center flrSt and then

from the outside” and this juice need

not be used at all if it is present in

suffiCient quantities so that it is incon-

venient in handling the silage. I should

say by all means 'put a good cement

floor in the silo. - ' C. C. L.

HE number of cattle going onto



grass this spring will be smaller

than common, according to farmers

coming to the Chicago stock yards.

There are two reasons for this. In the

first place, the acreage in pasture land

is considerably smaller than usual, be-

cause of the high price of corn, wheat,

oats and other crops and large acreage

and the high price of thin cattle is

causing many farmers to go slow.

There is a feeling in the country that

the cattle market is due for a drop. and

none wants to be under when the

break occurs.



In the last year or two much pas—

ture land has been ripped up and put

in crops because of the high prices.

Land values have been increasing con~

stantly lately, and the rent of pasture

land has gone up accordingly. Many

FEED distributors of Philadelphia

> are buying from the Kansas City

market alfalfa hay that is originating

in ,Idaho. Crossing the Rocky Moun-

tains to Kansas City, this hay incurs a

-freight expense of $11 to $15 a ton,





and in shipping from here to Philadel- L





phia there is an additional charge on

railroads of sixty-seven and one-half

cents per hundredweight, or $13.50 a

ton. But Philadelphia wants small

quantities of green alfalfa hay, which

is raised principally in the irrigated

areas of the west.



But for the extraordinary p11ces pre-

vailing on hay—the highest in history

edealers of Kansas City report that

sales to Philadelphia would be larger

than the volume now being moved. The

present hay prices here are $8.50 to

$20 a ton higher than a year ago. By

the time a good car of green alfalfa

reaches Philadelphia at present prices

it costs around $50 a ton.



Dealers in hay in Kansas, which is

the world’s largest forage center, re-

port trade with the east as a whole

lighter than normal. Aside from the

purchases of alfalfa hay of good qual-

ity, the east is partially independent of

the Kansas City market for the first

time in years. The alfalfa going from

here to the east is largely for dairy in-

terests. The east produced large yields

of tame hay last year, while the Kan-

sas City trade territory suffered sharp

reductions in harvests owing to the

drouth. Besides, the east has access to

surplus forage in the central states.

The southeast, however, has proved

one of the mostimportant outlets for

hay from the Kansas City distributing

territory, the demand for alfalfa from

that section having played an import-

ant part in the rise to the present rec-

ord level here.



Alfalfa at Top Price.



Alfalfa hay in Kansas City is quoted

at an extreme top of $40 a ton, two

cents a pound, and the same price has

been paid for prairie or wild hay. In

addition to the record figures paid for

alfalfa and prairie hay, timothy and

clover mixed at a top price of $36.50

and clover at $34 a-ton,also establish-

ed new heights.

price for alfalfa in Kansas City is $35

a toh, paid in the late winter of 1917

and early in 1918. Prairie reached a

record figure of $30 in 1918, timothy

sold at a top of $31 last year, and clo-

ver brought its highest price in that

twelvemonth, $28.50. Alfalfa is selling

at partially double the highest price

two years ago, while prairie prices are

as much as four times as high today as

the top figure in 1916. Tame hay pric-

es have more than doubled in two

years.



The present remarkable position of

hay prices 1efiects an acute shortage

of forage supplies. Not only is hay

moving frOm coast to coast, as in the

case of alfalfa purchases by Philadel-

phia dealers, but northwestern alfalfa

is moving into the cotton belt of the

g south, and dealers here are buying hay

in California to apply.on orders from

the southwest. Producers of live stock

in Kansas and eastern Colorado are

buying prairie in Kansas City, shipped

to this market from Chicago and Illi-

11018 territory, as well as from Wiscon-

sin. Much of the hay shipped from

., the lake city was originally purchased

by the Chicago dealers in Kansas City

. from Kansas producers, and is moving

, back at virtually double the price.

Who Shall Find the Limit





of, HudsOn Endurance ?.





We Have Tried By Most Gruelling Tests—

60,000 Hudson Owners Continue the Search ~





There must be some point at which a piece of machinery is taxed beyond

its power of endurance.





But that point has not yet been found in the Hudson Super-Six.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Why We Tried the Speedway





It was in search of that point, rather than





to demonstrate speed, that the Super-Six‘





has won more records and made faster

time under the gruelling strain of long





sustained effort than any stock car ever-3

built.» Calling for superlative endurance





under the stress and pressure of tremendous

speed, by their very violence, these contests

crowd scores of miles into One. They impose





a strain that could be equalled under ordin-l





any condition only by years of driving.

How Hudson Made It: Records





We decided to test Super-Six endurance

on the speedway. We drove at highest

possible speed for an hour—and beat the

world's best time. We tried 100 miles

without even approaching the limit. Then

we tried 150 and 200 miles, setting new

records. Next the Super-Six. made 250

miles at the rate of 101 miles an hour.

Such speed even for .a single mile would

send many stock cars to the junk pile. But

at the finish the Super-Six has the same





The Final Test—60, 000 Owners





Those records of endurance were shown

by the same Super-Six motor that is in the

cars of more than 60,000 Hudson owners.

Theirs is the final test—the test of satis-

factory service under all conditions; the

test of contented ownership. Each one of

those 60,000 knows he has a car that holds

more worth-while records than any auto-

mobile ever built—and proves its right to





ithem by its everyday service.





Hudson Makes Motor Mode





And in addition to these proofs of endur-

ance Hudson makes a line of body types, the

distinction and beauty of which is acknow-

ledged by everyone. What greater evidence

can there be of Hudson leadership? And

need one ask for more assurance in deciding

what car will best meet his requirements?



Hudson production hasalwaysbeen under

the demand. This year shows a repetition

of the shortage of former years. Even now

immediate deliveries for the most part are

out of the question. So to get a Hudson

at all this year calls for early decision.

forage by thearmy during the period

of the war constitute the factors which





' brought about the unprecedented~level





of prices prevailing in Kansas City.





- Dealers in forage in the Kansas City





market supplied the forage branch of

the United States army, quartermaster

department, with approximately 30,000

cars of hay during the war. \ Uncle

Sam‘s requirements in domestic camps

and for Gen. Pershing’s forces abroad

amounted approximately to 5,000 tons





. of hay and 1,000 tons of straw daily.





No further advances in prices for

hay are expected by the trade in Kan-

sas City. Instead, close students of

the forage situation are inclined to the





' bearish side of the market. believing





that, with the presence of the pasture





-





ties, and local cooperative associa-

tions. Each of the regional and local

associations will be held responsible

to the central organization, the Dairy-

men’s League Cooperative Association.



At a. largely attended meeting of the

league in Utica, March 22, the propos-

ed cooperative plan was enthusiastical-

ly endorsed, and a board of directors

was chosen by the directors of the

Dairymen’s League as follows: Brad-

ley Fuller, Utica; Lee Kirkland, Ran-

dolph; Frank Smith, Springfield Cen-

ter; Herbert Kershaw, Norwich; Rob-

ert Siver, Sidney; F. H. Thomson, Hol-

land Patent; R. D. Cooper, Little

Falls; G. N. Tyler, Honeoye Falls;

Earl Laidlaw, Governeur; John Pem-

berton, Owego, and Albert Manning,

Otisville. , / .



Bradley Fuller, the chairman of this

board, was a member of the Federal

Milk Commission, and has spent much

time in perfecting the league plan, in'

explanation of which he says:



“To care for the surplus is not the

only object of the cooperative plan.

Some of the objects are as follows:



“First. To provide a method where-

by league, stockholders may care for

their own surplus milk.



“Second. To regulate the supply of

fluid milk and milk products to meet

the demands of the market.



“Third. To pool the proceeds of the

sale of such fluid milk and milk prod-

ucts, to the end that each producer

may receive the same price, less the

usual differentials of freight rates, but-

ter-fat, etc. This last object is fully as

important as any, for one of the difli-

culties of the present. method of sell-

ing milk is to get each member on the

same basis as every other member.



“The plan of the local associations

shall be: . -



“To provide a means of electing del<

egates to a regional couperative asso—

ciation to be hereinafter described,

and »



“To afford Dairymen’s League, Inc.,

stockholders who become members,

the means of buying and selling farm

produce and farm equipment cooper-

atively, except milk.



“The sale of milk by the members

of such local organizations shall be

kept separate from the sale of other

agricultural products, and such sale

shall be contracted for directly with

the Dairymen’s League Cooperative

Association, Inc., which is to be known

as the parent company. Contracts cov-

ering the handling of such milk will be

supplied by the parent company.“ .to be

executed-between the producer and the

parent company, so that the handling

There is, of course, a reduced» de-

mand when pastures are being utilized

by live stock herds. Also the Salt Riv-

er Valley of‘Arizona and New Mexico,

will, in the next few days, begin to

market itsnew crop of hay. While

this forage is not expected to find its

way into Kansas City’s immediate ters

ritory, because of. the heavy southern

demand, the offering of that new hay

will doubtless affect prices. Alfalfa in

surrdunding states' will begin moving

early in May.





The Surplus Milk Problem





(Continued from page 795).





State of New York, with a membership

of incorporated local associations.

These regional-organizations have the

same purposes as the local, and shall

also serve for the purpose of providing

a method of selecting the directors of

the parent organization.





“It should be remembered that the

handling of the milk business is not

the only object of this cooperative

plan,» for the local and the regional or





the parent company may under the





law cooperatively sell any other farm

product and cooperatively buy any

farm supplies, such as machinery,_fer~

tilizer, etc; and that any of the busi-

ness, except milk, may be handled en;

tirely by any local, or by any regional,

or by the parent company organiza-

tion, either alone or in cooperation

with any other local or regional. For

instance, one local may arrange to buy

cooperatively all of the fertilizer need—

ed by its members, or any regional

consisting of several locals may do the

same. It is possible that a regional,

for example, might arrange to take the

entire output of some firm manufactur-

ing farm machinery.





“It should be clearly understood that

because of the peculiarities surround-

ing the production and sale of milk,

this business must be kept separate

and distinct from that of other farm

products or supplies. For instance, it

would not be possible to handle fertil—

izer in the same station with milk.

This means that in order to make pro-

vision for handling the milk of league

stockholders, it will be necessary for

the parent company to do business di-

rectly between the producer and itself.

This central control is necessary if the

plan is to be successful, and1 is the

fundamental principle of the great or

ganization of citrus growers in Califor-

nia. It is the only way whereby uni-

form practices of handling milk can be

established and the only‘way by which

there would be sufficient control of

quality to ever make it possible to

work up special league brands of milk

and milk products.





“The cooperative plan provides for

a central organization, composed of all

the regionals and organized for the

objects permitted by the law, this par—

ent company to act as agent for the

producer in selling his milk and milk

products under the uniform contract

The parent company

shall receive all the proceeds of the

sale of milk and milk products of the

producer, which shall be blended into

CONSERVING THE VEAL CROP.





 





’ i ‘ W HILE manypeople are busy de-

" vising means to prevent the kill-

ing of young calves for veal it seems

to the writer that more good might be

accomplished if some means could be

devised toencourage dairymen to pro-

\ duce more good veal calves. In many

: . . » milk producing communities thou-

sands of calves are annually sacrificed

at from two to four days of age that

i might profitably contribute toward the

i ' meat supply of the country.



Two years ago while visiting in a

dairying Community in eastern Penn-

sylvania, the writer spent several days

$ 011 a farm where the owner kept a

large herd of dairy cattle. In one pas-

ture he kept seven old cows that were

selected from the milking herd for

various reasons and utilized, their milk

supply to fatten veal calves for mar-

ket.‘ It. did not cost much to keep these

cows and by purchasing young calves

at from a dollar to two dollars a head

he could find a quick sale for them at

from $8.00 to $12.00 per head, after

allowing them to suckle his old cows

for a period of three or four weeks. In

this way the cows that for various rea-

sons proved undesirable to keep in the

t dairy herd were made to pay from

’ $6.00 to $15.00 per month for their pas-

turing, and in the fall they could be

conditioned and sold for as much as

they would bring in the spring or sum-

mer. During the months of April,

May, June, July and August he sold

more than $400 worth of prime veal

calves from the seven cows, and in the

fall cashed in the cows for $43 a head.

The cows were conditioned with roots

and cornmeal in addition to silage and

pasture grasses. *



Remove the Restrictions.



Another factor which might contrib—

ute toward increasing the meat supply

is removing some of the restrictions

concerning the sale of- veal calves and

allowing' dairy farmers to sell their

calves for veal when they are two or

three weeks of age, instead of feeding

them for a longer period. If 'the dairy

farmer does not care to raise the calf

to the legal age,‘ either because of the

i : . time, labor or cost involved, or because

it is more economical. to sell the milk,

or if the calf is of the wrong sex for

milk production, or if there is no mar-

ket for the living calf at so young an

age, then the option left to the honest

i farmer is to destroy the calf, get what

i he can for the hide and feed the car-



‘ case to the poultry and swine.



‘ ’ After careful investigations and ex-



‘ periments with calf flesh of various

f ages it has been found that beyond a

' shadow of doubt the flesh of calves

" from two‘to three weeks of age is



wholesome and nourishing. These ex-

periments were conducted with chil-

dren from two years of age up to old

people from sixty-five to seventy years

of age, all of whom partook ot the

meat in liberal quantities without ap-

parent injurious effect. If the tender

. age of childhood and the failing tissues

;‘ . of old age remain unharmed, then it

may safely be assumed that the heal-

thy adult may eatyoung veal with per.

feet" safety. '

p In some“ foreign countries calves a

E week or. two old are used for food leg-

» ally. This has been permitted tor

years, ;and it is safe to assume that

such a practice would not be allowed

, by law if the young veal produced any

injurious "effect upon those who con-

, . sumed’ it. fiThe amount of waste of

HIS is the ultimate aim of the new transportation



movement—athe Rural lVlotor Express Lines—~first

fostered as a war measure by the Highways Transport

Committee of the Council of National Defense.





Regular and dependable transportation—a thing the

farmer has never had before—is now being furnished

him in many sections in much the same way that the

city man has his street-cars, his express deliveries,

and the other forms of transportation which,operate

to his door. , i a 4

‘ both to and from the consuming market centers.





The benefits of the Rural Express—affecting alike

the producer and the customer are impossible with-

out good roads. Schedules cannot be maintained if the

roads become bogged with every heavy rain—storm.





Must Have Year-’round Roads





So it is essential that both city dwellers and farmers

throw their full influence into the fight for good, easy—

traction roads that can be used, regard/er: of weatoer, '

every month in the year.





 





 





 





A shipping platform

at every farmer’s gate—-





It is possible to build and maintain such roads at

moderate cost by adopting Tarvia.. Tarvia. is a coal-

tar preparation for use in constructing new roads

and repairing mold macadam roads.





Tarvia is popular with road engineers every-

where because it makes firm, mudless, dustless,

water-proof and automobile—proof roads that stand

up under the most severe weather and-traffic con—

ditions. When properly constructed, Tarvia roads.

are less expensive to maintain than any other type of

“year-around” road. ' i "





Thousands of miles of Tarvia roads suitable for

carrying Rural Motor Express traffic have already

been constructed throughout the United States.





Is your community ready with good roads to take

advantage of this movement to establish a shipping

platform at every farmer’s gate?





Why not do a little investigating and see how Tarvia

will help you get good roads at low cost?

HE houseseemed shit lonely as

Mr. Mason came in" at tea-time.

He wondered where Mabel was.

Then he remembered that she was‘to

stay all ‘night with her sister, who

was ill.



The maid had tea ready and he sat

down with his thoughts full of busi-

ness, as they usually were. It was

lonely without ~ Mabel and the meal

was soon finished; then he went up to

his room.



Mabel had laid out the coat and vest

he would want to wear to the lodge

that evening, and a clean handker-

chief. She was not a lodge-worker

herself, her spare time was given to

church activities. But she never for-

got or neglected anything pertaining

to his comfort or convenience.



He donned thegarments and thrust

the handkerchief into his pocket. His

hand came in contactwith something.

He drew it out and a look of annoy-

ance came into his face. It was Eliza-

beth’s letter.



Mabel had asked him a week ago if

he had answered it and he had prom-

ised to attend to it right away. It was

not the first time she had inquired;

the letter had been received at least a

month before. But Mr. Mason was a

very busy man. This-business life was

a veritable Nero in its tyranny but—

well, if you were going to succeed you

simply had to submit to it, that was

all there was to it.



Still he did not feel quite comfort-

able about the letter. He knew he

would have answered it before only

that it contained a request which he

had not quite decided how to meet.



Elizabeth had asked a loan of a few

dollars to enable her to buy a sewing

machine, the old one having, after

many years of use, gone out of com-

mission. \



She explained that, within the past

year she had earned enough with her

pen to buy several machines, only that

it had been necessary to apply it in

other ways. She was sure, however,

that, if she could get the family sew-

ing done she could find time for her

writing again and could return the

money in a. few months.



Mr. Mason stood for a moment in

deep thought. With Elizabeth’s respon-

sibilities in the home—mother in her

eighty-sixth year and Livy, a life-long

cripple, to be cared for, and practically

all of the household tasks to be per

formed by her own hands, it was un-

likely that she 'could find much time

for writing.



And then there was the possibility

that the granting of this request might

open the door for others and lead to no

end of annoyance. Well, he would see.

He' couldn’t write before tomorrow

anyway, as the lodge was to install

that evening. And with this relieving

thought he laid the letter on the dress-

er ‘and went downstairs.



It was very late that night, or rather

very early the next morning, when Mr.

Mason, having home with much credit

to himself, his part in the installation

ceremonies, retired. ~



But he did not sleep. He tossed and

turned, adjusted and readjusted the

pillows, and.was wider awake than

ever. . _



When at last he fell into a light doze

he was suddenly aroused by the tantal-

izing flutter ,of a letter. He recognized

it at once—Elizabeth’s.



He remembered that he had left the

real letter on the dresser. It might be

wise to take care of it. Mabel would

find it and it might lead to renewed

inquiries.



He secured the letter and put it into

the pocket of his business coat. Then

he went back and this time he slept.



But he dreamed. Not that there was





anything disturbing in the mere fact;





Bylda Mg'Bzza/J 7 '0





be frequently dreamed. Moreover he





,lwas not superstitious and hence did

not attach any importance to/the visa





ions, pleasing or grotesque, of his head





\upon his bed.





But this dream impressed him rath-

er strangely. He seemed to be walks

ing along the old familiar road leading

to the old weather- beaten farmhouse

from which he had gone out, years be-

fore, to make his own way in the

world.



He strolled leisurely up the long

path, thinking how pleased and sur-

prised mother would be; noting the

fragrance from the apple trees his

father had set and cared for, and the

whiteness of their clustered blossoms

through the deepening twilight. The

light from the kitchen lamp streamed





outin long rays over the path and the "





grape-trellis beside it.

With stealthy step he neared the





window. Elizabeth sat sewing on some.





thing black. .He was shocked to see

how frail and weary she‘looked. Livy

sat by the stove in a dejected attitude.

Mother was not with them; perhaps

she had retired.



He was conscious of a sense of dis--

appointment. He had not realized be«

fore how eager he had been to look

into the dear, wrinkled face and to see

the faded eyes brighten with the joy

of meeting him.



He stepped softly to the porch and

rapped. Elizabeth opened the door.

She looked at him strangely as he on

tered.



- “Don’t you know me, Elizabeth?" he

asked, reaching for her hand. ,



She inclined her head affirmatively

without a word; the hand he took was

unresponsive to his cordial clasp. Again

he thought of the letter. Elizabeth

had never seemed resentful before.



He walked over and held out his

hand to Livy with a word of greeting

and then asked: “Where is mother?

Asleep?”



“Yes,” Elizabeth’s voice answered;

“come and look at her.”



She rose as she spoke and, although

he tried to say that he would wait and

see her in the morning, he seemed

powerless todo so. There was some—

thing so strangely compelling under

that quiet manner;

was so unlike Elizabeth. He followed

her with a peculiar feeling as of some-

thing‘oppressive in the air.



As she opened the door‘leading into

mother’s room he closed his eyes for

an instant with a sudden dread that

they might meet a sight he could not

bear to look upon. Then turning has:

tily, he passed through the outer door

of the living—room to the front porch.

Something swelled out on the evening

breeze and swept his arm; be grasped

it; it was a streamer of black crepe.



“Elizabeth”



There was a world of mingled re—

proach and heart break in the cry. The

sound of his own voice awoke him. Ma-

bel was bending 6ve1 him; his hand

was clutching the ends of her silken

auto- scarf.



“Oh, Chester! you frightened me so!





What were you dreaming?” she,ex'-'





claimed.



“I thought you were at..Alice's,” he

said, with a forced smile.



f‘Alice was so much better that I

came‘ home early. Do tell me why you

addressed Elizabeth so dramatically.”



.“Mab?” he said evasively, “could you

arrange to run up and visit mother and

the girls for a couple of days?”



“I suppose so. Have you answered

Elizabeth’s letter yet?”



“No, but I saw her and I wish you

would go.





mother is all right.”

~ “You saw Elizabeth!

.of his 6réain. “Th id . ,

per must have been too sumptuous,”

was her matter-of—tact comment.





“But I have a better plan than.





yours,” she continued. “Let me stay

with the store and you go up and tell

Mother Mason and the girls that you

have come to bring them here to live

with us. I’ve been thinking it over for

a long time, Chester.

safe for them to be living alone in that





'outpf-the—way place. Suppose Eliza-r





both should fall sick, and she’isn’t very

strong, you know.”



“But are you able to take the added

care?”



“Certainly! Elizabeth would take the

care of Mother Mason and Livy be

cause she knows how better than I do.

We could do our sewing together and

she could write to her heart’s content.

Shall we arrange it in that way?”





"'Why, yes,” he agreed, it mother





and the girls will consent. We may

be reckoning without our host, you

know.” .



“This is Friday,” Mabel continued,

elaborating her plan. “You could go

up tomorrow and stay over Sunday

and—oh, Chester. next Sunday will be

Mothers’ Day!





some flowers, and be sure to wear one

in her honor on Sunday. I wish I

could go with you, but I believe I must

give that day to my own mother.”





It seemed to Chester Mason like a

repition of his dream as he walked up

the path to the old home that Saturday

evening, carrying a large sheaf of car-

nations and ferns. The light shone

out from the kitchen; he caught the

perfume of apple blossoms and saw

their whiteness through the gathering

dusk.





The kitchen door stood open. Eliza- .





beth was putting away the supper dish-





es. Livy was sitting near the table '

As Chester was about to rap she:

spoke, apparently in answer to a re- ~ ‘





mark frorn her sister. ‘





“You needn’t worry about our hear— l

ing from Chet. He forgot all about us





as soon as father was buried.”





Then she wheeled her chair sharply





around as a voice said:



“No, he didn’t, Livy, although you

have had a right to think so.”



“Why, Chester Mason!” she gasped,

and amazement forbade her further ut-

terance;





Elizabeth came forward with both

hands extended and there was no lack ‘





of yvelcome in word, tone, or manner.

“Where is mother?" Chested asked

with a sensation akin to that of his

dream.

“She went to her room a few min-

utes ago. She is quite wel .”





“You brought these for her,” Eliza- .





beth continued, lifting the flowers,

which her brother had laid on the

table. 6



He nodded. “Tomorrow is Mothers’

Day, you know.”

. There were tears in Elizabeth’s eyes

as she said, “Oh, Chester, how

thoughtful of you! And we were afraid

you had forgotten!”





“See here, ’Beth!” he exclaimed, lap-

sing into the old-time, brotherly fa-

miliarity, “I’m just going to tell you

the truth! I wasn’t thoughtful. I

would never have remembered that the

second Sunday in May was Mother’s

age of eighty-three.





is nothing unusual under ordinary con-

ditions, but “Uncle John Woodworth”

was more than an ordinary farmer, and

a gifted reader, and was well known

among the leading farmers who be-

longed to the farmers’ clubs and grang-

es of southern Michigan.





For many years he had been a mem-





of the oldest clubs in the state. He

and his good wife always attended ev-

ery meeting they possibly could and

gmey also belonged to the Battle Creek

gGrange.



Uncle John was in great demand at

every meeting, and had to get up and

speak a piece before the session clos-

ed. He was always encored and could

come back with another any old time.

It was interesting to see this white-

haired farmer get up in a crowd in

some farm home and recite a long

piece of poetry or prose. He had an

attitude and delivery that was per-

fectly natural, and he never lost '8.

word, no matter how long the selec—

tion.

piece a few times and store it com-

pletely in his mind so that it would





‘ stick for keeps.





The small boys and girlslwho had at-

tended rural school but a few terms

were astonished to see Uncle John get

up and speak a long piece as well or

better than the brightest one in the dis-

trict school.





The accompanying picture is one we

took some time ago at a meeting of

the Ceresco Farmers’ Club while Uncle

John was in the act of speaking a piece

in the good old-fashioned way; It is a.

fine picture of an eighty-year-old farm-

er and shows how natural and easy he

could do such a job right before a

crowd.



Uncle John always “took his wife

with him whenever possible and they

were sweethearts and chums all the

long years they lived together on. the

farm. She sits at his left and a little

in front of his left hand in the picture,

just as she usually .did when he recit-

ed. She memorized the selections and

could prompt him, if necessary; but

he seldom needed any help except to

have her in sight. That gave him all

the incentive and aid needed for the

job in hand. She was always his best

girl and he always wanted to see her





around.





When we took this picture the mem-

bers of the club were surrounding the

camera and listening to Uncle John.

Of those in view, beside the good‘wife,

there are, sitting at Uncle John’s right,

two of his old-time neighbors and club

members, Mr. and Mrs. Ransom Mark-

ham. At the opposite end, and in front

THE WONDERS 014' SCIENCE.





A~camera man, working for the ed-

ucational department of a film com-

pany, met an old farmer coming out of

a. house in town where he was work-

ing, and explained his presence in

these words:



“I have just been taking moving pic-

tures on your farm.”



"Did you catch any of my laborers in





action?” asked the old man curiouslyn





“Sure, I did.”



The farmer shook his head reflec-

tively, then said:

derful thing.”





SOME GIRAFFE!





A prominent circus man comes up

from Florida with a tale of what hap-

pened when the circus train went into

a ditch, and the Old Man offered the

surrounding darkies a dollar each for

bringing the animals back. The price

was not good enough for one huge man

who wanted it doubled for a giraffe he

said he had hived back a ways. The

Old Man hadn’t missed any giraffe but

he-was willing to find out about it.

He asked the darky if. he was sure he

knew what he was talking about. He

was. .



"Yassah, Ah is, an’ it’s a mighty

savage giraffe too. Done bite me twice

on de laig. Ah ain’t gona bring him in

f0 no dollah. A11 wants two.”



The Old -Man gave him a dollar

down, promising another on delivery

of the goods. He took it and went

away.



Next morning he came in looking as

though someone had been cleaning

fish on him—lacerated, bloody and

lame. In one hand he carried a club

about the size of his arm, in the other

and trailing over his shoulder, was one

end of a rope. ,



At the other end of the rope, batter-

ed, ha'lf hairless, limp and utterly de-





jected dragged a ten-toot man-eating «. f ,

Royal Bengal tiger.

ETUBNED soldiers are to be given

Mohawk tires actually represent more value in mate-

terials than any other tire you can buy.





 

   

   





We realize that’s a broad statement. But we go

on record with it—for the simple reason that we

know it’s true.





Here’s the proof. Mohawk tires contain





No Reclaimed, Shoddy Rubber

No “Fillers"





Only the very purest rubber on the market—the

very highest grade produced, is used in Mohawks.

And another point—many supposedly good tires today

contain in their treads “numerous fillers” that cheapen

quality, barytes, clay, glue, whiting, lead, rosin.





   

   

   





 





   

   

   





 





   

   

   

   

   

   

   

 





You Won’t find a single one of these “fillers” in

Mohawk tires. for the reason that if we used them we

would cut down the expense of and increase the profits

from the Mohawk tires, but at the same time, we would

cut down the mileage yield that Mohawk tire gives.

That we will not devfor we believe you prefer to buy

your tires on their mileage ability rather than on price.





   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   





Add to pure material an extra ply of standard weight

fabric—the fact that Mohawks are hand made by the

highest paid tire builders in the industry—and you will

understand why once an automobile owner buys a

Mohawk he will have no other make.





   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Either cord or fabric tires—in ribbed and non-skid

treads. Hand made, extra ply, Ford size tires, also.

wind———no echo of voice, no rasping of

foot, no rustle of leaves. Ghosts could

not have moved more silently. Some

way the very thought that these grim

savages were thus creeping forward to

attack, and kill, their hearts mad with

hate, wild beasts of prey stalking

their victims, yielded me a strange

feeling of horror. I clung to De Ar-

tigny’s arm, 'shrinking from the shad-

ows, my mind filled with a nameless

fear.



“Adele,” he whsipered tenderly, ”you

still fear for me in this venture ?”



“Yes, Monsieur.”



“There is no. need. You heard La.

Forest say he bore orders of the King

which gave De Tonty command once

more of Fort. St. Louis.”



“Yes, Monsieur; but you have al-

ready been tried and condemned. Even

if they have not authority to shoot

you here, they have power to transport

to Quebec."



“There would be battle first, if I

know my old comrades well. No, as

to that there is no‘ cause to fear. 1

shall be given fair trial now, and wel-

come it. My fear has been for you——





the vengeance of Cassion, if ever you”-

1came within his grasp again. But that

‘also is settled.” "’





“Settled? What is it you would tell

to me ?”





“This, sweetheart; you should know,





although I would that some other

might tell you. La Forest whispered

it to me while we were alone yonder,

for he knew not that you were estrang-

ed from your husband. He bears with

him the King’s order for the arrest of

M. Cassion. Captain de Baugis is com-

missioned by La Barre to return him

safely to Quebec for trial.”



“On what charge?”



“Treason to France; the giving of

false testimony against at King’s officer

and the concealing of official records."



“Mon Dieu! was it the'case of my

father?" ,



“Yes; the truth has been made clear.

There is, as I understand from what

La Forest told me, not sufficient evi-

dence against La Barre to convict, yet

’tis believed the case will cost him his

office. But M. Cassion was his agent,

and is guilty beyond a doubt.”



“But Monsieur, who made the charg-

es? Who brought the matter to the at-

tention of Louis?”



“The Comte de Frontenac; he was

your father’s friend, and won him res-

toration of his property. Not until La

Forest met him in France was he

aware of the wrong done Captain 13.

Chesnayne. Later he had converse

with La Salle, a Franciscan once sta-'

tioned at Montreal, and tWo officers

of the regiment Carignan-Salliers.

the King was so angry he signed the

order of arrest with his own hand, and

handed it to La Forest to execute.”



“The Governor knows ?”



“Not yet. ,La Forest felt it best to

keep the secret, fearing he might be

detained, or possibly ambushed on the

way hither.” .

and the future, we followed the Savag-

es through the black night along the

dim trail. For the time I forgot where

I was, my weird, ghastly surroundings,

the purpose of. our stéathy advance,

and remembered only my father, and

the scenes of childhood. He must have

comprehended, for he made no attempt

to interrupt my reverie and his silence

drew me closer—the steady pressure

of his arm brought me peace.



Suddenly before us loomed the shad-

ow of the great rock, which rose a

mighty barrier across the trail, its

crest outlined against the sky. The

Indians had halte'd here, and we press-

ed forward through them, until we

came to where the chief and La Forest

was tense, expectant, ”the Indians

scarcely venturing to breathe, the two

white men conversing in whispers. Se-

quitah stood motionless as a statute,

his lips tightly closed. .



“Your scouts ventured no further?”

questioned De Artigny.



“No, ’twas not safe; one man scaled

the rock, and reports the Iroquois just

beyond.” .



“They hide in covert where I sus-

pected them; but I would see with my





 





own eyes. There is crevice here, as I

remember, to give foothold. Ay, here,

it is, an easy. passage enough. Come

La Forest, a glance ahead will make

clear my plans.”



The two clambered up noiselesSly,

and outstretched themselves on the

flat surface above. The dawn bright-

ened, almost imperceptibly, so I could

distinguidi the savage forms on either

side, some standing, some squatting on

the grass all motionless, but alert,

their weapons gleaming, their cruel

eyes glittering from excitement. La

Forest descended very cautiously, and

touched the arm of the chief.



“You see?"



The Indian shook his head.



“Sequitah know now; he not need

see. We do what white chief says.”



La Forest turned toward me.



“And- you, Madame, De Artigny

would have you join him.”

so as to‘ make good screen, but suffi-

ciently thinned out above, so that from

our elevation we could look through

the interlaced branches across the

cleared space where the timber had

been chopped away to the palisades of

the fort. The first space was filled

with warriors, crouching behind the

cover of underbrush. Most of these

were lying down, or upon their knees,

but a. few were standing, or moving

cautiously about bearing word of com-

mand. The attention of all was in

front riveted upon the silent, seeming-

ly deserted fort. Not a face did I note

turned in our direction, not a move-

ment to indicate our presence was sus-

pected. It was a line, in many places

two deep, of naked red bodies, stretch-

ing down the slope on either side; the

coarse black hair of the warriors gave

them savage look while here and there

a chief sported gaudy war bonnet, and

all along was the gleam of weapons.

The number of them caused me to

gasp for breath.



“Monsieur,” I whispered

“you can never attack; there are too

many.”



“They appear more numerous than

they are,” he answered confidently,

“but it will be a stiff fight. Not all

Tuscaroras either; there are Eries yon-

der to the right, and a few renegade

Mohawks with them. .Look, by the

“A white man in spite of his paint.”



“ ’Twas my guess also. I thought ‘it

for this is not Indian strategy. La

though ,’twas too dark when he was

here for us to make sure."





“For what are they waiting, and

“The gates to open, no doubt. If

We lay and watched them his hand

clasping mine. ,Those warriors who

had been lying prone, rose to their

knees, and weapons in hand, crouched

for a spring; the chiefs scattered, care

ful to keep concealed behind cover.

Not a sound reached us, every move-

ment noiseless, the orders conveyed by

gesture of the hand. De Artigny press‘

ed my fingers.



“Action will come soon,” he said, his

lips at my ear, “and ' must be ready

below to take the lead. ‘You can serve

us best here, Adele; there is no safer

“Yes, Monsieur.”

The Gharge of the l'lllni.

T, seemed a long time, yet it could

Scarcely “have exceeded a_few mo-

ments, for the light of early dawn





’was: still dim and spectral, making





those savage figures below appear

strange and inhuman, while, through

the tree barrier the more distant stock—

ade was little more than a vague shad-

ow. -I could barely distinguish the

sharp pointed logs, and if any guard

passed, his movements were indistin-

guishable. .



Had I not know where they were ev;

en the position of the gates would have

been a mystery. Yet I lay there, my

eyes peering through the cleft in the

rock, every nerve in my body throbv

hing. All had been entrusted to me;

it was to be my signal which would

send De Artigny, La Forest, and their

Indian allies forward. I must not fail

them: I must do my part. Whatever

the’ cost—even though it be his. life—

nothing could absolve me from this

duty. ~

, The Iroquois were massing toward

the center, directly in front of the clos-

ed gates. The change in formation was

made with all the stealthiness of Indi-

an cunning, the warriors creeping si-

lently behind the concealing bushes,

and taking up their new positions ac-

cording to motions of their chiefs.

Those having rifles loaded their weap-

ons, while others drew knives and tom-

ahawks from their belts, and held

them glittering in the gray light. The

white leader remained beside the big

tree, paying no apparent heed to any-

thing excepting the stockade in front.

The daylight brightened, but mist

clouds overhung the valley, while

floating wreaths of fog drifted between

the great rock and the fort gates, oc-

casionally even obscuring the Iroquois

in vaporous folds. There was no sound,

no sight, of those hidden below, wait-

ing my word. I seemed utterly alone.



Suddenly I started, liftingmyself

slightly, on one arm so as to see more

clearly. Ay, the gates were opening,

slowly at first, as though the great

wooden hinges made resistance, then

the two leaves parted, and I had a

glimpse within. Two soldiers pushed





against the heavy logs, and, as they





Opened wider, a dozen, or more men

were revealed, leaning carelessly on

their rifles. Boisrondet, bearing gun

in“ the hollow of his arm stepped for-

ward into the opening, and gazed care-

lessly about over the gray mist.



It was evident enough he felt no sus-

picion that anything more serious than

the usual Indian picket would be en

countered. He turned and spoke to the

soldiers, waiting while they shouldered

their rifles, and tramped forth to join

him. His back was toward the fringe

of wood. The arm of the white rene-

gade shot into the air, and behind him

the massed Iroquois arose to their feet

crouching behind their cover ready to

spring. I reached over the rock edge,

and dropped the handkerchief.



I must have seen what followed, yet

I do not know; the incidents seem

burned on my memory, yet are so con-

fused I can place them in no order.

The white renegade seemed waiting,

his arm upraised. 'Ere it fell in signal

to dispatch his wild crew to the

slaughter, there was a crash of rifles

all about me, the red flare leaping into

the gray mist—a savage yell from a,

hundred throats, and” a wild rush of





, naked bodies.





I saw warriors of the Iroquois fling

up their arms and fall; I saw them

shrink, and shrivel, break ranks and

run. Surprised. stricken, terrified by

the war-whoops of the maddened Illini,

realizing only that they were caught

That the several millions who were

engaged in war work are not going

back to their old jobs seems to be tak-

en i‘or granted, but just what is to be

ing “floor, please,” than it is to dust a

room or bake a pie, with the opportu-

nity to run outdoors occasionally be-

tween occupations, it is still a question

whether the women themselves will

find their new occupations any less

tiresome than their old after the nov-

elty wears off.

the days of our oldest sisters, today’s

housekeeping is comparatively easy,

when it comes to getting meals. I

thought of it the other day when I dis-

covered that of the thirty or more cans

in the fruit locker still filled with

“something” only four contained fruit.

At first it was rather disconcerting to

think that home—grown strawberries

are still several weeks away, oranges

eighty cents to one dollar a dozen, de-

pending on the grocer’s “nerve,” and

apples six to ten cents apiece, also de-

pending on the same price basis. Then

came the- comfortable thought, “0,

well, the children like gelatine, and

the price of that is fixed.”



So gelatine it will be till strawberry

time. We can buy it with the fruit

flavor and serve it without additions

if we like, or if we want to add the

fruit, one orange will go a long way

when used only to give flavor.



It doesn’t need to be oranges either,

for any fruit. “goes" with this dessert.

Or, for the matter of that, any vegeta-

ble or left-over meat, if it isn’t dessert

we are trying to extend. A favorite

mixture contains only sweet fruits, a

few raisins, figs chopped or cut in

small pieces, and a date or two. This

gives a better balanced dish than the

gelatine alone, since the jelly, being a

meat extractive, is an acid producer,

while the fruits are base producers—-

that is, they give alkali in reaction.

Give Your Job What It’s





---By Deéora/z





adopt a new method of paying em-

ployes, and pay what each is worth,

instead of adopting the union method

of a fixed wage regardless of the qual-

ity or amount of work turned out in a

given time. How much more satisfac-

tory it Would be, both to the employer





and the employe, for it is no more ex-





as‘perating to feel that you earn $5.00

a day and get but $3.00, than it is to

have to pay' $3.00 for work which 'is

worth about fifty cents.



There is the case of women workers

who come for a day in the home. The

standard price is $2.00 a day. One

woman will come, and in her eight

hours do four times the work of anoth-

er. Yet each gets the same price. I

have had women put in eight hours-

time and get $2.00 for it who, judged

by the help they actually gave, should

have paid me the $2.00 for taking up

my time and frazzling my nerves. The

little work they did was so poorly

done that a ten-year-old child might

have done better. It would have been

more satisfactory to me to hand such

“helpers” a quarter, and it surely





add to the flavor of the dish and the

beauty as well.



So much for your meat. A salad is

known by farmers. The hired man of

the day is the supreme autocrat. He

demands the highest wage ,going, and

gives in return just what he chooses.

It would be a godsend to him, as well

as to the farmer, if he could be paid'

what he earned. The average individ-

ual who knows he will receive a stipu-

lated sum anyway cares mighty little

for the quality of his workmanship. It





is the man who is working for a bonus ‘





who does his best. y



A little more conscience and a little

less arrogance wouldn’t be a bad thing‘

for a great many people, as William

Hohenzollern found out. The world-

doeSn’t owe anybody anything as a

free gift. The command to work was

the first divine command after Eve ate

the apple, and to my knowledge it has

never been rescinded. Honest work

should be a part of one’s religion.

own favorite recipe, but here is one

“discovered” by a Shiawassee county

farm woman which is a prime favorite

in her community. For the amount of

water called for in the directions giv-

en with a ten-cent package, substitute

the juice from a pint can of strawber-

ries. If there is not enough liquid, add

enough boiling water to make it up.

Just before the jelly sets, carefully

stir in the berries, and a half a banana

sliced. Allow to harden, turn out in

your prettiest glass dish, slice a ban

ana on top, and pile thick with sweet

ened whipped cream.





Loganberiy jelly is always liked-.





Combined with dates it makes a dell-

cious and nutritive dish. Dates are

high in carbohydrates, sugar, the dried

dates as we get them containing on

the average 1,605 calories to the pound.

A dessert pleasing to the eye as well

as the palate is made by placing halves

of stoned dates around the edge of a

mold at two-inch intervals, then filling

the mold with loganberry jelly. Allow

to harden, turn out on a glass or china

plate, cover with whipped cream and

on top arrange a circle of dates. Pile

cream high 'within this circle and lay

one-half a date in the center.



A mixture of vegetables in jelly will

sound better if you call it a “Mace-

doine,” for macedoine, while it means

simply mixture, sounds different. Lem,

THIS WILL HELP YOU TO CHOOSE

PICTURES.





 





N a dining-room, the pictures should

be conducive to happy thoughts.

Cheap pictures and pictures of wooden

looking fruit are not effective. Appro-

priate pictures for the dining-room are

“Spring,” by Corot; “Autumn,” by

Mauve; “The Ford,” by Corot, and

“Autumn Gold,” by lnness.



Pictures of general interest are ap-

propriate for the living-room. Here

they should be conducive to deeper

thought. Such as Burne~Jones’ “Gol-

den Stair" and “Spies," Titian’s “Trib-

ute Money,” and Van Ruysdael's

“Windmill” are desirable. Many of

Rembrandt's and Millet’s pictures are

desirable, as are also Raphael’s Ma-

donnas. LandScapes are appropriate.



In the bedroom, one’s choice may

have, free sway so long as the effect

produced is restful. Family portraits

and photographs of one’s‘ friends are

appropriate, and any other pictures of

which the person is particularly fond.



Pictures in the boy’s room should

stimulate him to patriotism, chivalry,.

Spirituality, and industry, and should

foster kindness to animals. “Hosea,”

from Sarbent’s “Frieze of the Proph-

ets;” “The Forge of Vulcan,” by Velas-

quez; “Oath of Knighthood,” by Ab-

bey; “The Sower," by Millet, and “The

Spirit of ’76,” by Willard are all good.\

Animal pictures by Bonheur are also

desirable.



Pictures suggesting noble woman-

hood are appropriate for the girl’s

room. Madonna and mother-and-child

pictures are especially fitting. Other

desirable pictures are Reynold’s “Age

of Innocence,” “The Strawberry Girl,”

and “The Broken Pitcher," as well as

“The Dance of the Nymphs," by Corot.



How to Frame Pictures.



Most pictures are best framed with-

out a mat. The exceptions are a small

print or etching and Japanese prints.



The color of the frame should har-

monize with the color of the picture.



Water colors and oils are usually

best in dull gold. ‘



A flat moulding is better than one

with a decided height at edge.



Frames should be lighter than dark-

est part of picture.



A picture with strong action, color,

or composition needs a wide frame.



Delicate scenes are better in narrow

frames.



Framesof bright gold with much or-

nament are not good. '



Rectangular frames are better than

round or oval shapes.



Frames of. imitation circassion wal-

nut are‘in poor taste. ’ /

When Plans are Changed





LL live boys and girls have their



plans for the days when they are



grown up. I would not give much

for a boy or a girl who did not, have

hours when he or she thought, “Now,

when I am grown up I will do so and

so.” Daydreams'are fine. No day-

dreams, no real accomplishment. The

man who does not think away ahead

and work for the days to come never

gets anywhere.





But things do not always come out

just as we would like them to. As we

grow up, conditions alter. It may be

that by the time we are young men





and women, the things which charmed '





us when we were boys and girls lose

their interest altogether and we are





anxious to do something entirely dif—“J





ferent.



I know a boy that spent some time

carving with his jackknife in the bark

of a tree up in the woods, his name





with the title “M. D.” after it. Then he





thought he surely would be a doctor

when he was a. man. How much joy

he got out of thinking about it no one

knows. But it did not turn out that

way at all. I go up through those

woods sometimes and look at the boy’s

name, now quite overgrown with new

bark and wonder if he is sorry that

things changed so that he is a good

farmer, and not, a doctor at all.





Another striking thing about that

same family was that the boy had a

younger brother who thought he would

like to be a. forester. He did begin to.

study along that line; but somehow

his dreams took a new turn and 'he is'

today a doctor, the very business his

brother had marked out for himself in

the long ago. But really it does not

matter so much, as long as both the

young men are doing fine work in their

chosen lines. That is what counts

most of all. ‘ i



It does not take much to completely

upset one’s plans sometimes. I remem-

ber when a boy we had some great





‘ boulders on our farm. When getting





some of these out of the meadow, fath-

er found on the under side of one of

them bright,‘ shining stuff that looked

to him like gold. Not being sure about

it, he scraped some of the particles

OE and took them to a jeweler to be

analyzed. While wating, what dreams

we had! Suppose we really had gold

on our farm, what a great thing it

Would be for us all! We had visions

of all sorts of wonderful things we

would do. But the visions all vanish.

ed. The stuff was not gold at all. It

hurt for a while; then we went at it

to develop the old place and turn ,it

into a better gold mine for the produc-

tion of fine crops, so that really we

were far better off than we would have

been if we had discovered the rich

metal. .



This, then, is our lesson: If the

gold of your dreams turns out to be

never mind.

Just, dream of some better thing. .Right

on the heels of the disappointment

will come a new opportunity which will

prove a thousand timesflmore worth

while if we are true to ourselves, nev-

er lose courage and keep on pegging

away. If we can’t dig gold, let’s dig

something that can be turned] into

gold. The stones of the farm may not

be gold-bearing, but the 8011 will bear

crops that will bring in money just the

same.



Then, too, who knows where the

gold of our first dreams might-lead us?

We cannot always be sure that the

thing we want to do is the best thing.

The Best Hike l EverrTook.



' A little while ago when I lived in

the south, some of my friends and my

brother and I decided to go on a hike

and take our dinner. So the next

morningywe got up very early and

started about 7:30. All had lunch bas-

kets for we expected to be hungry.



The place we went to was very cool

and shady; a river ran right along the

side of the woods. The boys had

brought fish hooks and lines with them

so they went down the river to catch

some fish for dinner. Some of us girls

took Off our shoes and stockings to

wade in the water. I put my shoes on

a. stone by the side of the river so they

would keep dry until I came back. At-

ter wading in the water for a while we

got tired and came back to get our

shoes. I went to get my shoes but

they were gone. We looked every-

where fOr them and at last someone

saw them floating in the water. I wad-

ed in andth them- When the boys

came from fishing we unpacked our

lunch baskets and ate our dinner on

the groufild. We fished the rest of the

If, then, we have a watch with a sec-

tance from where we stand to the

place where the sound first arose.



If we see someone some distance

has been fired when we see the puff of

hand of our watch and seeing how

HONORABLE ME‘NTION.





 





The Best Hike I Ever Took.



I haven’t ever had much experience

in writing stories. But I guess the

best hike I ever took was when the

creek was high, in the springtime, and

there was a flood. One spring, one of

my schoolmates and I went walking





along the creek after school when

,there was a flood. We took two big

.sticks and went along and punched in





all the old logs we could, and made

them float downstream. We walked

along the water, telling stories. The

grass was green, and the horses were

out in the field, racing around. The wa-

ter ran along and made a sweet song.

We wished we had a motor boat, and

we would take a nice ride down around

the curve. -We took our sticks and

measured the water to see how deep

it, was. It was deep enough to drown

us if we fell in. The creek was so

high that you wouldn’t find and sand-

bars like you would-in the summer

time. Both'of us got our'feet wet, so

we took off- our shoes and sat down on

the ground, and let our feet get dry.

Then we put them back on again.

Then it was at the close of day so we





went home—Donna Ableson, Ypsilan- '





ti, Michigan. Age eleven years.

HONORABLE MENTlON.





 





I have never written to you‘before,

my first letter is about “The Best Hike

I Ever Took.” It was on a spelling

contest about five and a quarter miles

from our home.



My sister and I started out across

the fields until we came to where the

teacher and another girl accompanied

us. It. was in the spring and very

muddy but We made it all right until

we came to a low place in the road

and the water ran across the road. We

had to go around over the hills and-

about a half-mile back and there the

stream was narrower and we crossed

on a plank. ,





When we got out of the woods into

the plowed fields we could hardly walk

for the mud on our shoes. We finally

got to the hall where we were to spell.





When we had spelled we found that

I was the best speller.





We got our dinner pail and started

home. The teacher and the other girl

did not take any dinner and so we di-

vided our dinner with them, and they

were glad to get it.

When we got to the “Board Bridge

the teacher took we girls’ picture, and

then we took her picture, and went

home, singing and feeling fine, but.

when we got there we were very tired.

Take a Premo Jr. Camera,

with You this Summer





'The PREMO JR. MODEL

B is a well-made, substantial.

reliable camera in every re-

spect. This camera has to

stand the usual rigid tests

which are applied to all

cameras made by The East-

man Kodak Co. It loads and

unloads in daylight with the

Premo Film Pack of 12 ex‘

posures. It makes pictures

2174x314 inches in size and

the negatives are of such

quality that excellent en-

largements can be made

from them.





 





The instrument is fitted with an automatic shutter, which works

for both time and “snap shot” exposures, and the best grade of single

achromatic lense that can be obtained. It has two finders, one for ver-

tical, the other for horizontal pictures,———in fact, it is as well equipped

a camera as could be wished for in the box type. It will produce

first-class results in all ordinary amateur photographic work, such as

snapshots in good light, time exposures, home portraits, landscape and

street photography, and the like. This camera is unusually simple to

load and operate. A complete book of instructions is included with

each one, and even a schoolboy who never had a camera in his hands '

before, can make good pictures with the Model B Premo Jr. within half

an hour after getting it. Sent charges prepaid for 3 Subscriptions. or

for One Subscription and $1.25 additional.

THE production of honey by the gen.

, eral farmer is coming into'favor,

as the keeping of two or three stands

of bees will provide sufficient honey

for the average home. Many women

and farm girls have taken over this

work to their pleasure and profit. The

production of comb honey seems to be

considered the most favorable plan but

a larger flow of honey can be secured

by extracting.



. We have followed both plans, usually

utilizing one hive for comb honey and

the others for extracted honey. One

advantage of having the extracted hon-

ey is that it Can be used in baking

Where the comb honey cannot; it





' makes delicious cookies and cakes and





candies.- If one desires to use the

comb honey for this purpose the comb

must be, mashed, .the honey squeezed

out and strained. The extracted honey

can be kept for years and is easily

stored in tin buckets; if it granulates

and it is delicious in this sugary con-

fection, it may be melted in an hour

by immersing the can in moderately

hot water. It should never be heated

over a direct fire or on a hot stove.





 





Ideal Location for Bees.





A larger flow of honey will be secur-

ted by extracting, because the bees do

not have to spend a lot of effort in

building up a new comb each time.

When the honey is extracted and the

frames put back in the hive the empty

cells are there all ready to be filled

with new honey and capped by the

bees.





This is a great advantage in a sum-

mer when the honey flow is light;

with the comb waiting to be filledthe

bees have only to gather the nectar

and feed the brood. The honey can be

[extracted at any time of the season,

though it is well td wait until most of

the comb is filled and capped. If the

flow is darker or less desirable atone

.time than at another, the different





' grades may be extracted separately





and stored in separate receptacles.

The cost of an extractor may deter

some from using this plan, but for a

good many years we have owned a

,part share, in one and did not find

this a disadvantage. Where-two or

three 01m one it cuts the cost to a few

dollars and it will last for twenty

kets are then revolved and the honey '





is thxown out of the comb on the out-1

er side, after which the frames are re-

ve1sed and whirled in the same inan-

ner. The ext1acted honey is drawn

from a spout at the base of the ex-

tractor. If extracting is done at the

end of the season the combs are not

returned to the hive but stored until

needed again the following spring.

THE FLOCK AVERAGE COUNTS.





THE presence of a -feW two-hundred-

egg hens in a flock is not as im-

portant as a high average for all of the

birds. Frequently the advertising of

two—hundred-egg stock is misleading to

beginners with poultry and causes

them considerable discouragement.

The egg-laying contests have taught

poultrymen some things but they have

not given the beginner the right idea

about poultry in general.



A few carefully selected birds kept

in small flocks will practically always

lay more eggs on the average than the

birds in a large flock. In the laying

contests a few two-hundred-egg hens

are discovered and then this is often

the cause for advertising two-hundred-

egg stock. The inexperienced reader

of the advertising may expect to buy

eggs from such stock and immediately

obtain a flock of two-hundred-egg birds.

Of course, there is a good chance of

raising fine layers from such stock

and there is a chance of raising birds

of only medium quality.



Under farm conditions the hens can-

not be managed in large flocks in a

way that will cause many hens to lay

two hundred eggs or over in one year.

However, the flock average can be in-

creased by careful selection ot‘ the best,m

layers which possess plenty of vigor.





The poultryman should not be discour- Pine Crestm White Omlnsmnfi-

aged if he has only a few two- hundred- 15





egg hens, but he has every reason to

be encouraged if his flock averages

stand around one hundred and forty to

one hundred and fifty eggs per year.

There has been too much booming of

high-laying individuals under condi-

tions that would be far from profitable

on the farm and too little understand-

ing of the value of high flock averages

from birds maintained under general

farm conditions. Let us try for high

egg production,‘ but not neglect the

flock averages while thinking of "the

few hens that make unusual records.

.,EVER has there been a time when

well finished beef cattle were so





the Chicago market at $18@20 per 100

pounds of late have been extremely

few in number, the greater part of the

steers selling usually from $14@16.75.

It does not require a great many cat-





and steers frequently sell lower under

receipts which used to be called only

Usually, fat butchering

cows and heifers sell

than. steers, and butcher 51001: is usu-

ally the first to advance and the last

to go lower. Prices for cattle-are far

higher than in former years, particu-

larly so if comparisons are made with

years before the great war. The best

steers sold a year ago at $17.60, two

years ago at $13.40, three years ago at

$9.95 and four years ago at $9.10.





HOGS HIGHER THAN EVER.





YER since government control over

the hog trade was removed the

market has strengthened, with advanc—

ing prices, subject to the usual reac-

tions, and within a short time all rec-

ords in the history of the market have

been broken. The demand in the Chi-

cago market for hogs to ship cast has

been much smaller than a year ago,

as last fall’s pigs raised in eastern ter-

ritory have been moving freely to cast-

ern packing points, but much smaller

Chicago receipts of hogs were quickly

taken by the local packing firms. On





 





a recent day prices rose twenty cents

above the previous high record. Far

imore hogs are needed at this time than

in normal years, the task of feeding

the countries of Europe falling largely

on the farmers of the United States,

and it looks like further advances in

prices. Lard has sold higher than ever





more than $8 a barrel higher than a

year ago, sharing in the boom in hogs.

During a single week recently exports

from the Atlantic seaboard included

16,486,000 pounds of lard and 29,191,-

000 pounds of cured hog meats, these





comparing with 8,218,000 pounds of

lard and 43,838,000 pounds of hog

meats a week earlier and with

4,783,000 pounds of lard and 9,-





747,000 pounds of hog meats exported

for the corresponding week last year.

During April the aggregate stocks of

provisions held in the western packing

centers underwent a reduction of 13,—

000,000 pounds, whereas for the same

time last year they showed an increase

of 1,131,000 pounds. Stocks on May 1

amounted to 52,193,000 pounds, being

more than 10,000,000 pounds less than

stocks held a year ago. Stocks of pro-

visions are comparatively low, and ev-

ery pound will be needed for home-

consumption and export. Expert au-

thorities do not hesitate to make the

prediction that not only during the

coming summer, but for several years

hogs priCes will rule enormously high,

and if every pound of pork and lard

Europe is clamoring for could be de-

livered, the packers’ cellars would be

quickly emptied. Production of hogs

is net much larger than prior to the

war, and this country is the only im-

portant source of supply of provisions.

W. W. F.





Eastern farmers are marketing their

hogs freely, owing to the higher cost

of corn, and this checks the demand

for hogs offered in the Chicago market

to ship to the eastern packing points.

Within a short time Buffalo,_Pitts-

burgh and Cincinnati have received

very good supplies of hogs from home

territory, mostly fall farrowed pigs,

LECAUSE of the great advances

which have taken place in the v9.1.8





, no of farm lands in midst parts of the





country, the horse breeders have not

been carrying on that highly important

industry to anywhere near the propor-

tions of former times. Usually, the

contention of the farmer is that while

pasture lands have advanced in prices

to far higher prices than those of a

decade or more ago, the low price paid

for average horses is opposed to any

Many farmers say

the horse breeding industry lags be

cause it is found that raising calves

has been found to be more profitable

than raising colts, it being cheaper to

buy farm work horses than to raise

them. A7 short time ago a farmer of

northern Illinois stated that the colt

crop of Kane countyhas fallen Off to

about one-half of its former propor-

tions, and he thought that higher pric-

es will be paid in the future. Horses





of five years of. age which tip the-





scales at from 1,500 to 1,600 pounds

bring only $200 in the county, he ad-

ded, and when the farmer counts up

the cost of service fee for a big draft

stallion, and the cost of bringing up the

colt to maturity, there is no profit, es-





~pecially when land is renting for $10





an acre. A steer of fifteen months can

be sold for $100 at least, while a horse

must be five years old to bring twice

that amount of money. In La Salle

county, Illinois, 1,600-pound geldings

of five years of age are bringing $225,

with no demand for horses of under

1,500 pounds, and thereabouts the colt

crop is about twenty-five per cent less

than in recent years. There is general

agreement among farmers of Illinois

and neighboring states that horses

weighing from 1,200 to 1,300 pounds

are hard to sell, the prices averaging

around $150 per head, and in many

parts of Illinois the colt crop is report-

ed as all of fifty per cent below what

it was only a few years ago. As for

light weight horses of poor quality,

there is no profit in raising that class,

and many sales take placenrOund $75

‘to $85 per head. An average crop of

colts is reported in southeastern Iowa,

but it is predicted that breeding operv

ations from now on will be seriously

lowered, as farmers have found that

growing colts can be purchased for $20

to $40 per head, and at such prices

farmers can see little, if any, profit.

Feed is extremely high everywhere,

and pastures are being plowed up for

corn and other grains. At the same

time there are still some farmers who

find it fairly profitable to raise their

own horses, as well as a few for mar-

keting, but profits are usually confined

to high-grade heavy drafters, such as

sell on the Chicago market for $300

and upward, few of these being offered

for sale. While the fast'growing use

of tractors greatly diminishes the need

of farm horses, there are still many

farms not well adapted for the use of

the tractor, and it seems certain that

there will be always a demand for

good heavy farm horses. Western

farmers do net go in very extensively

for mule raising and most of the male

business is confined "to the southern

states, although the mule is a hardy

animal well adapted for work and us

ually extremely healthy. Summing up

everything, it may be said that farm-

ers situated so that they can breed a

few choice work horses will almost

certainly find it profi able, as this

year’s crop of colts is unusually small.

SECOND EDITION.





 





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday af-

ternoon, May 22.





WHEAT.





Prices were marked down last week

for the first time in over a fortnight,

following the announcement that im-

portations would be made from Can-

ada, and that the Grain Corporation

would sell flour to actual consumers.

The statistical position of the market,

however, is very strong, the limited

visible supply for this country having

been reduced 8,482,000 bushels the past

week. The stores of wheat will be

thoroughly cleaned up before the new

crop is avaliable. Many mills will be

obliged to close down for lack of raw

material, notwithstanding they have

orders for flour. Feeds-are also sell-

ing well. A year ago No. 2 red wheat

sold on the local market at $2.17 per

bushel. Present local prices are:



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

No. 2 mixed ...... 2.63

No. 2 white ............ 2.60





CORN.





War-time restrictions have again

been imposed on the corn trade. Un-

der these restrictions, no'trader will

be permitted to hold more than 200,000

bushels in futures. Those who have

more than this amount will be given

until June 7 to reduce their holdings

to within the limits. Stocks of corn

are exceedingly low, for instance in

Chicago there. were. only 890,000 bushv

els of corn last Saturday, as compared

with 4,523,000 bushels on the corres-

ponding (lay a year ago. Cold-and wet

weailnr has further delayed planting

in the corn belt and interfered with

marketing the grain. As a result of

these bullish conditions, prices advanc-

ed liberally in Chicago in spite

of the restrictions mentioned above.

No. 3 yellow is now quoted there at

53180717183;

$1651.43; September $15815. On the

Detroit market present prices are:



No. 3 corn ............. $1 77





 





No. 3 yellow ............ 1.80



No. 4 yellow ............ 1.77



No. 5 yellow ............ 1.74



No. 6 yellow ............. 1.61



No. 3 white ............ 1.82

OATS.





The strength of corn has been re-

flected in the oat market and quota-

tions show a fractional advance. Re-

ceipts at country elevators have been

very small. The visible supply for the

United States shows a decrease of 1,-

497,000 bushels. Crop reports are a

little more favorable although seeding

has been delayed in many sections of

the oat-growing belt to a date that is

quite certain to reduce the yield and

the quality of the grain. A year ago

standard oats were quoted on the lo

cal market at 791/20 per bushel. At

Chicago this grade is now quoted at





71 1,12 @720. Detroit quotations are: ,

Standard ................. 74

No. 3 white .............. 731/“,

No. 4 white ....... ........721/2





RYE.





Stocks of this grain were reduced

2,019,000 bushels last week. Cash No.

3 is quoted on the Detroit market at

$1.50 per bushel.





BARLEY.

American visible supply decreased

260,000 bushels during the week. Cash

No. 3 is now quoted here at $2.30@

2.40 per cwt. -

wholesale grocers at $7.50@7.75 for

choice, sacked. Same grade brought

$8 in New York, where the market is

at $11.50@12.25, and Michigan marrow

White at $10.50@11.75. At Boston a

moderate volume of business is being

done, with Michigan choice pea beans

at $7.75@8.15. At Philadelphia where

the market is quoted firm, the above

grade brings $8@8.25. The Chicago

market reports a good demand and

movement, with stock from this state

quoted at $8@8.25.

The Chicago market is 'higher'





BUTTER.

, The temptation to use substitutes

when butter prices reach too high a

level is a factor that influences trading,

so unevenly that dealers find it hard

to know where they are at. Produc-

tion is slightly increased.- Prices rule

above the quotations of last week. At

Detroit fresh creamery has advanced

to 56%@57c per pound. The Chicago

market is higher with quotations at

5215612581750. The New York market is

also higher, the extreme figures for

creamery offerings being at 57% @610.

Extra western creamery is bringing

601/2c in Philadelphia on a firm market.





WOOL





It would naturally be expected that

Wool purchased during war time and

sold on a peace basis would be hand-

led at considerable loss but the loss





sustained by our government in its .





wool business has been comparatively

small. Thegovernment paid $259,364,-

103 for the 325,330,466 pounds sold up

to April 12 and received $253,178,833

for the same lot, taking a loss of only

$6,185,360. Inferior wools offered at

recent. Boston sale were not in de-

mand, but buyers were keen for better

grades. Prices held steady for general

offerings at the London auctions on

May 21. South American prices are

higher. Growers in Australia are urg-

ing the government to continue its reg-

ulations over the industry. Through-

out this country there is active buying

at advancing values. Producers every‘

where are growing more and more fav-

orable to the plan of selling through

cooperative wool associations, and

since lOCal dealers must usually pay

a. flat rate or lose the patronage of

those selling cheaper grades, the “co-

op” plan seems better suited to meet

real conditions than the old system.





CANNED GOODS





A good business in spot trading in

peas and corn is being done, although

stocks of the former are reported low.

With last season’s light yield in the

west and the probability of a small

crop this season there is reason in the

firm position of the market for, these

two products. Export buying, while

quiet at present, shows signs of reviv-

ing and the outlook is for a larger vol-

ume of foreign business this coming





year.

GRAND RAPIDS





Corn market is higher. There is

none to be had in this section of the

state, in fact, farmers are buyers at

present- The corn situation is this:

The hull side of the market are feeders

of hogs in the middle west; the bear

side the Argentine crop. If imports.

now arriving, are sufficient to meet;

the demand, corn will be lower; if not.

it willadvance in price. Potatoes sold

on the city market last week at $1.10

@125 per bushel for No. 1 and 75c for

'No. 2. At various points in Western

Michigan the range was $1.25@1.50.

A grower from Trufant last week said

farmers in his vicinity still had their

cellars full. Strawberry growers in

this section of the state report present

indications are for a very large crop,

barring a frost. Last season’ the frost

cut the crop nearly 50 per cent. Hay





is $40 per ton on the city market for,





No. 1 timothy. Jobbers now ask $42





for baled hay and—are unable to fill'





orders. They predict $50 per ton be-

fore the next crop is available.

We learned that when we were mak-

V'Thad been packing the most of it in

[But that plan compelled us to wait‘a

some money as we went along.



80 wife and I got up a plan to test

people’s'appetite for butter in another

shape. I sent away and bought the

prettiest print I could for putting the

butter in; pound packages. It had a

beautiful design on top, an acorn, with

some pretty leaves around it, and the

very first package that came out of the

mold I. said, “Wife, that will sell all





,--the geod butter we canmake all right.”

'And it did. We could have sold more





if we had- had it.



We took quite a load of it down the

first time we went, and that was on a

fine morning in early summer. We had

a nice carrier that kept it cool until

.we were in town. And we did not

have to do any running around to find

a customer. The very first man we

showed it to, took every pound we had.

And he paid several cents more than

We did not know what he had in

mind when he took the butter into his

store, but when we went back on the

WEATHER UNFAVORABLE FOR

' FRUIT CROPS.





 





HE weather conditions in central



and western New York are very

unfavorable for the fruit crop. and

many growers are becoming discour-

aged. The rain has persisted for the

last week, with temperatures rather

low for the season of year. Altogether

it has been unfavorable for bees to

Work and for the fertilization of the

flowers. Bright, warm weather is bad-

ly needed, Further, the rains have

brought spraying to a standstill. Not

only is the ground so soft in the ore

chards that it is next to impossible to

handle the heavy spray rigs, but the

frequent showers give the spray no op-

portunity to dry as it is speedily wash-

ed ed.



The rains have held up plowing in

the orchards. The policy is to turn all

leaves and rotten apples under from

the preceding year as soon as the

It now

looks like a hard fight for the grower

to get ahead of the fungus this season.

adhesive is a brown, gummy substance

‘which will be valuable wherever a

good adhesive is needed. Its most

paper boxes, for bill posting and label-





It is also said to be useful as a

N many places prohibition sticks up



like a sore finger, as though alcohol

were the keystone of our political

structure. This time it is the sugar

men of Cuba who are complaining that

they stand to lose $2,000,000 a year by

not having a market for their low~

grade molasses. The United States

used to buy it and, like the slight-of

hand man who pulls a live rabbit from

an empty hat, extracted barrels of a1~

cohol from it. With this market gone

they must dump it. Surely, it would

be inconvenien‘ to have the streets of

Havana run black with molasses, and

attracting all the flies of the continent.

Cuba would become nothing but a~ fly

It would be better

to make steer candy of the molasses.

The principal candy kitchens pf this

class are in the southwest At Kansas

City they chop up alfalfa, mix it with

low-grade molasses and make a soft

candy for live stock. Steers eat it

like a puppy licking up blacking, and

quickly qualify for a visit to Chicago.

Now, $2,000,000 isn’t large; neither is

Cuba. But in the circumstances, it

seems as if we should save the molas-

ses, make Cuba and our steers happy,

and increase the quantity and quality

of sirloin steaks.





 





POTATO BEETLES RODE “BLIND

BAGGAGE.”





 





DAHO has kept practically clear of



the Colorado potato beetle, yet a

car of potatoes from Idaho Falls reach-

ed Los Angeles infested with the

beetle. The California authorities noti-

fied the Idaho authorities, who resent-

ed thé imputation that potato beetles

had come‘out of Idaho. An investiga-

tion by Frederick Maskew, state quar~

antine oflicer of'California, and a col-

laborator of the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture, disclosed these

The car previously had been

loaded with potatoes in Colorado, the»

home of the beetle. The potatoes were

delivered in Oklahoma. The car went

as an “empty” to Kansas City, then

was routed to Granger, Wyo., then to

Idaho Falls, where it was again loaded

with potatoes and sent to Los Angeles.

The potato beetles evidently remained

in the car during the entire movement

and infested the second loading of po-

tatoes. This is regarded as an illustra-

tion of how railway cars usedtor haul-

ing vegetables, fruit, and otter plant

products are the means of distributing

noxious insects, and the United States





TDepartmenlt of Agriculture is taking

SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT.





 





HE hard working American hen is



not losing time worrying over that

ancient question, “Which came first

thehen or the egg?" She is laying

golden eggs by getting her products

into foreign countries. To the other

inhabitants of the barnyard, she may

seem a little “cocky” these days, but

did not the people of the United King-

dom pay the hen a compliment on her

good egg laying qualities by taking

$3,616,567 worth of American eggs in

the eight months ended February this

year? And did not Cuba take $2,415,

304 worth? Total exports showed an





increase of $2,227,544 over the same’





periOd of 1918. Showing how hard the

hen worked lately, the total exports of

eggs for the twelve months ended in

June 30, 1914, only amounted to $3,-

734,087.





THE NEW YORK PRODUCE MAR-

KET.





 





Butter.—Regular shipments of but-

ter are running about ten per cent

higher than for the past few weeks.

That serves to move that production

is considerably on the increase and

that the flush will soon be upon us.

Du11n<r the week five ca1s of California

butter and four cars of Canadian but-

ter have been received. Several more

cars from California are known .to be

in transit and it is reported that twen-

ty cars of Canadian butter have been

purchased for local delivery. Delivery

of butter has been slow and irregular

throughout the week and the demand

has been Strong; the two factors be-

ing responsible for an upward price

tendency. Speculative buying is some-

11 hat in evidence even at the present

high prices. Expmt buying is at low

ebb because of high piices. At the

close yesteiday, established quotations

were as follows: Extras 600; higher

scoring than extras 60%@6lc; firsts

58((2591éc; seconds 55@571/2c.



Cheese—The cheese market has

been very irregular this week. In gen-

eral it is safe to state the market has

been. weakei. With few exceptions, all

forms and grades of cheese have de-

clined in price. The make is increas-

ing quite rapidly Expo1teis a1e quite

active, especially in Canadian ma1kets

but as the make is inmeasing so rap-

idly their demands have not affected

the downwa1d tendency of the market.

There is piactically no held cheese

available and quotations are not being

made for the present. Average 1un

cheese is quoted at 311/2@32c; specials

a1e selling f1om one- quarter to 011e-

half higher.



Eggs. —A further dec1ease in egg re-

ceipts has been in evidence this week.

While local accumulations continue

large, the rate of increase is less than

heretofore. The market is strong and

the price tendencies continue upwaid.

A great pe1centage of the interior col-

lections are being put in packages f01

exporting, and it is thought that ex-

port demands will continue so strong

that prices will remain high for an in-

definite period. The quality of the

eggs being received is somewhat be-

low normal and it seems to be difficult

for dealers to obtain a sufficient quan-

tity of 1eally high- class stock to supply

their trade. Quotations are as follows:

Firsts 47@481/20; extra fiists 49@491/2c

per dozen; extras 501/2@51c



Poultry— Receipts have been com-

parativey light during the week but

the demand has strengthened, in con-

sequence the price tendency has been

upward. The express drivers’ strike

which affected deliveries last week has

been settled and all shipments are be—

ing received regularly. Quotations are

as follows: Broilers, small 50@55c;

broilers, large 60@65c; fowls 37c; old

roosters 22c; ducks 25c; geese 180.

heavily; when the .Cylindcrs mar

and score and compression weak-

ens-e-when any of the common

engine ‘ ailments .occur, look to

lubrication first. .





Often lubrication is the difference

between good and poor engine

operation. Too few automobile or

tractor owners realize this.





Just a few examples:





Spark Plugs

The engine won’t run when spark

plugs foul or crack.





Correct lubrication prevents foul-

ing. Often too light an oil (the in—

correct grade) or too much oil,

causes it. '





In either case, oil leaks up past

the piston rings and burns in the m-

tense heat of the combustion chamber.





No oil can ever withstand such

heat—often 3000° Fahrenheit.





Use the correct grade

of Gargoyle Mobiloils

and fill reservoir to the

right amount, consult

the Chart. .



Then fouling of spark

plugs will stop.

Cylinders





Marked loss of efficiency comes

when cylinders wear and 'score. Cor-

rect lubrication prevents wearing and

scoring. Wearing and scoring result

from lack of lubrication. Of course,





the cooling system must work well.





The correct grade of Gargoyle I\’Iobil~

oils will do the rest~——by preventing

excess friction, by carrying off excess

heat.

Gears, clutch, bearings, magneto,

timer, self—starter, universals~all

operate better, .longer, more econ-

omically, when correctly lubricated.





Engine lubrication is the most im-‘f

'portant. Buy Gargoyle Mob1lo1ls for





their nationally recognized superi—

ority But use them according to the

Charts shown here-the only proved ‘





lubricating recommendations, based ’_





on the findings of our automotive





engineers. -

' In buying Gargoyle Mobiloils from your dealer,

it is safer to purchase in original packages.

Look for the red Gargoyle on the container.
