CURRENT COMMENT

ERHAPS the most

Surplus disturbing _ factor
Milk in the solution of the

3 market milk problem
Problem‘ in the Detroit Area

has been the problem
of surplus milk during the early spring
months Wh‘en'production is at a high
point and before consumption has been
stimulated by hot weather. During the
past two seasons the Detroit Area Milk
Commission in fixing the price of mar-
ket milk distributed in Detroit, has re-
sorted to the expedient of making two
prices during 'these months; one price
applying to the milk actually distrib-
uted-t0 the city trade, and the other
and lesser price to the surplus product
which was necessarily disposed of in
the manufacture of other dairy prod-
ucts. During the season just passed,
this surplus, as agreed upon between
the Milk Producers’ Association and
the distributors. was twenty-five per
cent for March and twenty per cent for
April. The price fixed upon this
amount of surplus for these months
was $2.50 per cwt. f. o. b. shipping sta-
tion, as compared with $3.60 for March
and $3.40 for'April f. o. b. Detroit for
that portion of the milk actually dis-
tributed to the city consumer.

It is but natural that this two-price
system needed for a short period'of
time becomes confusing and unsatis-
factory to the producer, although in
the judgment of the commission this
method of handling the surplus milk
problem entailed less loss upon produc-
ers than any other method that might
have been employed, particularly in
view of the plan for reimbursement of
winter and early spring losses to pro-
ducers during succeeding months in or-
der to avoid raising the price of milk
to the consumer during these months.

At the last meeting of the Detrdit
Area Milk Commission at which prices

‘ were made for'May, June and July the

figures prepared by the secretary of
gthe commission showing the losses
which had been sutalned by the pro-
iduoers during- the first four months of
the your. showed that an average price

,' K brass per out. for all milk sold go.-

a moderate profit
on their opérations for the six months.
This, hoWever. did foot provide for re-
imburse’ment for the loss sdstmined .by
producers on the surplusior thetwo
months of March and April.
Quently after sonic discussion an aver
age price of $3. 25 per ewe. for ‘the
three months of May, June and July
Was made for all market milk in the
Detroit area, which in addition to mak-
ing up the pnoducerS’ losses on‘ mar-
ket milk for the four preceding months
also made up all losses on the surplus
for the menths of March and April and
gave producers the same profit on this
milk which was figured on the average

Admiral .Kolchak, the anti-Bolshevist

which the regulations will be issued by
the Grain Corporation 'and fully ex-
plained in these calmnns. In the mean-
time the rye should be'removed from

price for the two months of May and .the wheat, as no matter how great the

June, so that when the first seven

'_ months of the year are completed pro-
' ducers in the Detroit area will have

been fully compensated for the cost of
production as scientifically determined
by our experiment station authorities,
together with an added ten per cent
for managerial ability and an added
percentage for profit during the entire
period.

While there is apparent dissatisfac-
tion with the result of the Milk Com-
mission’s work among the producers
of certain restristed areas, particularly
with regard to the‘ handling of the sur-
plus problem, it would appear that this
must be the result of a misunderstand-
ing of the manner in which this prob
lem has been worked out, hence the
explanatiou contained in this comment.
Certain it is that the milk producers of

the Detroit area are getting and have

gotten a better average price for their
product during the current year than
producers of any other similar area of
the country and have sold their prod-

uct for perhaps the first time in the.

history of agriculture, at a price based
on the cost of production plus a rea-
sonable profit. Perhaps a better meth-
od of handling the surplus milk prob-
lem may be devised in the future but
progress along this line cannot well be
built on a misunderstanding and con-
sequent misrepresentation of' facts re
garding its present solution.

HERE is an ex-

Cut the Rye cellent prospect
from the for a large wheat crop

o n m o s t Michigan

Wheat ’ farms. As is usual,

much of this wheat
contains a sprinkling of rye, which is
unavoidable where .the tw0 grains are
grown in any neighborhood and thresh-
ed with a common threshing rig. This
rye should at once he cut from“ the
wheat in order to avoid a cut in price
for the grain when same is marketed.
All that any farmer has to do to get
the guaranteed government price, less
freight and legitimate handling charg-
es to the nearest primary market, is
to have a standard grade of this grain
to sell. If the wheat contains an ad-
ded mixture of rye in any quantity it
will fail to meét the standard grades
and be subject to dockage in propor-
tion to the judgment of the miller or
elevator man.

Under the tentative rules which
have been-proposed by the Food Ad-
ministration Grain Corportion for the
enforcement of the price guarantee,
the dealer will be required to use his
best and honest judgment to determine
the proper grade or dockage under the
fixed standard on all wheat bought by
him from the producer, and pay there-
for, the proper price based on such
determination of grade and dockage.
He will also be obliged to keep a rec-
ord showing all purchases, name of the
seller, date, quantity, grade and dock-
age fixed and price paid. On all wheat
graded lOWer than No. 3 Federal Stan-
dard the dealer will be required to re!
tain a sample properly” identified for a
period of sixtydays, which sample will
be held‘open to inspection by the Grain
Corporation ataqy time. Thus an av-.
once or appeal will be open Tor any
tamer-who teeisrtht he he: not had

labor shortage on the farm, no work
will be more productive of profitable
results than an immediate precaution
of this kind. 7

0V. SMITH, of

American- New York, has
mm m Rural school teachers of the
SFMO’S state a generous in-
crease in pay. In do-

ing so he wrote: “Neglect the school-
houses and you provide a fertile field
for the spread of the doctrines of the
discontented, who, without a proper
understanding of the. benefits and
blessings of our free country, cry out
from the street corners of our import-
ant cities for the downfall of our state
and the dissolution of our union.”
The general movement throughout
the country to secure better teachers
and pay more liberal salaries is sure
to result in the making of better citi-
zens and spreading the light of Amer-
icanism in every heart and in every
home in the United States. The men
and women who play so important a
part in the development of our boys

'and girls should be given more consid-

eration than common laborers. No
classhas assumed” so much responsi-
bility with greater willingness than
our school teachers. Their devotion to
the cause of Americani‘sm during
tempestous times of war, helping the

young people, and even the parents, to

see the struggle in .its true light has
made the nation their everlasting debt-
or. Had they performed less efficient
service during the war period this re-
public would have had great difficulty
in coming through the war so .thor-
oughly united.

It is time for us to step and think
just what these loyal American men
and women have received in return for
their devoted service to our country.
They have prospered less than other
classes who, through powerful organi-
zations, have secured high wages and
more favorable working conditions. In-
stead of coming out and organizing to
secure living wages they have been
training citizens that may be capable
of solving some of the greatest prob-
lems the people of any country ever
faced. In every rural district in Mich-
igan there are men and women of vis-
ion and foresight who should take the
lead to urge higher salaries for their
teachers. Compare the salary of your
rural teachers with the wages of ordi<
nary farm hands and stir your commu-
nity into action.

Are you willing to have the men and
women who train your boys and girls
receive less pay than those Who slop

your hogs and work in your kitchens?

The man and women who are training
our citizens of the future are entitled
to more consideration. than common
hobo laborers. No' wonder that many
rural districts are” employing weak men
and women to teach their. schools when
they only pay a salary of from $500 to
$600 a year. The future of America
depends upon Safeguarding our schools.
And this cannot be done unless we

'pay more generous salaries and secure,

more capable teachers to drive home

‘NCE upon a. time there lived in a But this creamery was not. like other
great city a young doctor who creameries, for a. laboratory was here
wanted to do something worth installed, that the doctor might know

while. He was also a bacteriologist.
As a doctor he came‘in contact with
hundreds of babies who were dying of.
diarrhea and tuberculosis. Asa bac-
teriologist he knew that the cause of
these deaths was dirty milk.

One morning, while taking his usual
walk he came to a fine farm with hand-
some buildings. Beautiful cows were
eating grass in the fields. He found
the farmer in the house sitting by the

' side of a great open fireplace and tak-

ing a profiered chair inquired, “Why
do you keep so many beautiful cows
in .such splendid manner?". a

“To furnish milk for rich people and
their babies.”

“Do not the tenement house babies
get any of this milk?”

“No,” said the farmer, “their parents
have net enough money to pay fer it."

The doctor saw\the light. His work
in life became that of bringing pure
and safe milk to poor children. He
studied milk, how it was produced,
what made it dirty, and what had to be
done to make it clean and wholesome.
His conclusions were that dirt and dis-
ease. in milk were due to the cow, to
the man who did. the milking, and to
carelessness in handling the milk in its
course from the cow to the milk user.
With these facts in mind he perfected
a plan. -He was ready for action.

The doctor learned that for babies
some clean milk is better than other
clean milk. It was first necessary for
him, to find a place where the best
kind of milk could be had in abund-
ance throughout the year. That place
happened to be the village of Homer,
New York, where David Harum, the
noted horse trader, had lived and died.
The next thing to do was to purchase
a creamery, where this milk could be'
brought and shipped to the great city.

 

exactly how clean, how good and how
safe was every can of milk received.
This meant something to the farmer
as well as to the doctor. Butthe doc-
tor helpedthe farmer. He told him

a

es. He knew the kind of dishcloths
and dishtowels that were used by some
farmers’ wives. He saw that every
milk pail and milk can was washed
at the'creamery in pure boiling water
and sterilized by forcing steam into
them. He not only did this for the
farmer but paid him to use these ster-

how he could make a clean, safe milk.
First, he must dispose of every cow
that was not in good health or had tu-
berculosis. But the doctor paid the
farmer for his (lead cows by giving
him more money for every quart of
milk that was brought to the cream-
ery, from the healthy cows that were
left._ Next, he wasshown the value of
clean barns, clean barnyards, clean
cows, clean clothes, clean hands, clean
pails and clean milk cans as factors in
producing clean milk. To prevent the
growth of germs in the milk, he was
shown the importance of using. ice.
The doctor, however, could not make
the farmer dig new wells in new plac-

 

ilized pails and cans. And better still,
he brought to the farmer’s door a lab-
oratory with expert supervision of milk
production. He knew and had control
of the quality‘Of every can of milk
brought to the creamery. For the lab—
oratory expert tested the milk daily
and helped ‘the farmers by investigat-
ing theirhigh bacteria counts and
teaching them better methods. The
farmers knew their milk would not be
received at the creamery if their bac-
teria count ran high, and so welcomed
the expert.

Said the doctor to the farmer, “Who-
ever brings to the creamery the clean-
est milk, I will pay to him the most

 

    
    
   
   
   
     
   
   
 
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
   
  
    
  
  
  
   
   
  
  
   
  
  
    
  
   
   
   
   
    
   
  
  
    
  
  
   
   
   

money by adding to the usual price of
milk a premium for cleanliness.”

“To the farmer bringing the richest
milk, I will pay the most money by
adding a premium for cream."

“And to all others in proportion to
the quality of the milk they bring.”

The farmers were very much pleas-
ed. They studied the doctor’s meth-
ods. They used
pails in their milking to prevent dirt
dropping from the cows and ceilings
of, the barns into the milk. They also
watched the bulletin. boards at the
creamery on which the bacteria counts
and the degree of butter—fat were post-
ed, to see how clean and rich was the
milk that they were bringing to the
creamery, like a crowd of baseball
fans watch the scoreboard during a
world series game. They took a pride
and interest in their work. And the
striving to excel their neighbors was
great.

There was once a committee of phil-
anthropists. They too had seen the
poor little babies. They, too, knew
the danger that lurked in bad milk.
And they, too, wanted to do something
worth while. The doctor showed them
how. They accepted his plan. Then
men of large means and larger hearts
became interested. The poor babies
must have good, pure milk. They got
it, and these pictures show how they
got it.

The committee then said, “Let us
establish baby milk stations in the
tenement districts of the great city,
where the babies of the poor are dying
and the milk is dirty. Let us show
that it is dirty milk which makes sick
babies, by letting them see what effect
the use of the doctor’s clean milk has.
upon some of the babies.”

Kind hearted people gave the com-
mittee money. The milk stations were
established and the. babies were given

DAYLlGHT SAVING REPEAL.

HE matter of repealing the so-call.
ed daylight saving law came up
the day congress met. The sentiment
for repeal is in evidence to a very
large degree, and the measure to re-
peal the law will be made a part, it is

now believed, of the agricultural ape

propriation bill, which is being written
by the house committee on agriculture,
of- which Congressman Haugen, of
'Iowa, is chairman. Mr. Haugen has
decided to make a strong effort to
bring this about.

FIRE INSURANCE FOR FARMERS.

 

APID progress is being made by
g the committee appointed at the
annual meeting of the Southeastern
Underwriters' Association, held at At-
lantic City early in May, for the pur-
pose of devising plans for closer coop‘
eration between the fire insurance and
agricultural interests of the country.
The committee, headed by F. C. Bus-
well, vice-president of the Home Insur-
ance Company, and president of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
expects to make the plan adopted as
Comprehensive as possible.

The movement grew out of com-
plaints filed with the Farm Loan Banks
that the farming interests were un-
able to obtain adequate insurance upon
their property. Insurance is essential
for credit, and the farmers complained
that they were unable to negotiate
needed loans. They proposed that a
system of insurance connected with
the farm loan system be devised.

Underwriters who did not know of
the situation until it was brought out
in this agitation immediately under-
took to supply the needs of the farm-
ers, and the appointment of the com-
mittee at the Atlantic City meeting
was the result. The committee will
investigate all phases of the subject
and render an early report, showing
the plan that ought to be followed in
meeting the demands of the farmers.

Farm property risks are not regard-
ed with favor by underwriters as a
rule. They are without the protection
of fire apparatus and present difficul-
ties in inspections. The expense of in-
spection is greater than a single com-
pany can 'bear and it is probable that
some bureau. much like the urban bu-
reaus, will be established for the in-
spection and rating of the risks.

The failure of a number of county
'mutuals to meet their obligations as
the result of the big fires which occur-
red last year in the northwest has de—
stroyed the confidence of the farmers
in some sections of the country in this
form of insurance. The losses incur-
red were made up to a large extent by
contributions from other mutuals, but
the farmers nevertheless feel less sure
of the mutuals than before. The farm
mutuals have formed the bulwark of
the insurance facilities provided for
the farmer, and in the event they lose
the confidence of the rural districts
other facilities will have to be supplied.

The committee proposes to go thor~
oughly into the subject and devise as
liberal a policy towards the insurance
of farm property as the conditions will
justify.

BEAN GROWERS WANT PROTEC-
TIVE TARIFF.

 

T seems highly probable that Cali.

. fornia bean growers, who still have
a large percentage .of the 1918 crop left
. on their bands, will appeal to congress
to place a high tariff on beans in order
‘ to keep out the heavy importations
'frpm' the Orient. The growers in this
36¢th of the state have asked bean
men in other parts of the country to
join them in their. fight against the

 

will probably place their bids on the

importers, and it is believed by them

that such action will be taken.

A-statement issued by bean growers
in part follows:

“There is great need of a protective
tariff on the importation of Oriental
beans. It is one way in which the gov-
ernment can assist the groWers after
the predicament they have been placed
in following the country-wide plea for
increased production. '

,COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

 

FARMERS who have organized to
market their own products are be-

ing prosecuted in Illinois, and have '

been threatened with prosecution else
where, for violation of "the anti-trust
laws. The situation is acute in the
Chicago milk district. ..Representatives
of farm organizations, engaged in co-
operative marketing enterprises have
agreed that an amendment to the
“Clayton amendment” is necessary to
clarify the situation, and explicitly ex-
tend to farm interests the protection
already extended to labor, which is
specifically excepted from the law in
collective bargaining as to the price of
labor. The amendment is being draft-
ed, which will state that non-profit or-
ganizations engaged in collective bar—
gaining for the sale of their own pro-
duce shall be exemptfrom the opera-

 

N ew. = of the AgriCu .1

basis of higher tést Weights than are

provided in the federal grades, as, for

example, “bid today for- No. 1 white
oats, '36 pounds or better,” or, “No. 1
white thirty-eight pounds or better,"
etc., etc.

The Department of Agriculture calls
the attention of farmers and grain deal-
ers to this provision in the grades,
since the assignment of the numerical
grade of No. 1 or No. 2 does not al—

ways properly identify' the condition of

the grain with respect to weight, with-
out a. statement of the test weight per
bushel.
Condition and Appearance Important.
The condition and general appear-
an'ce is one of the important grading
factors in the new standards. Oats to
grade No. 1 'must be of good color (in
the case of No. 1 white oats, they must
be good white or creamy white color).
No. 2 oats may be slightly stained,

FEDERAL OAT GRADES EEFEc.
TIVE JUNE 16.

 

NE of the features of the new fed-
eral oat grades, which will become
effective on June 16, 1919, is that yel-
low oats are classed as white oats, and
can take any numerical grade subject
only to general appearance or the col-
or requirements for each grade. This
will permit yellow oats of good creamy
white appearance to grade ashigh as
No. 1, the United States Department
of Agriculture states. The old stan-
dards in many cases prohibited yellow
oats from grading higher than No. 3.
Another feature of the grading rules
is that a statement of the test weight
per bushel is required on all inspec-
tion certificates. Because the minimum
weight per bushel for No. 1 oats is
thirty-two pounds for the national stan-
dards, which is six to eight pounds
lighter than much of the oat crop pro-
duced in the Pacific Northwest and in
certain other intermountain and cen-
tral western areas, grain dealers and
buyers in those parts of. the. country

The matter ,

 

trays will show the lowest limits of

and 3 grades.

Guide on Coloration.

While the lines of distinction as to
discoloration were formerly rather dis-
tinctly drawn by each local inspector
or market, no type trays were used as
a definite interpretation, of the local
grades, and in many cases these local
grades were interpreted differently.
However, in order that the general
scheme for the grading ‘of white cats,
with respect to general appearance,
may be more easily understood by per-
sons not having access to the oflicial
type trays the following is suggested:

Oats which were good enough for
No. 1 white and the better quality of
No. 2 under old grades, with respect to
general appearance (discoloration),
will grade No. 1 white oats under fed-
eral standards. The lower quality No.
2 white oats and practically all stan-
dard white under old grades-will in so
far as general appearance (discolora-
tion) is concerned, 'grade No. 2 white
cat's under federal standards. Poor
quality standard whites and No.-3 un-
der formal grading rules will grade No.
3 white oats under federal standards
where general appearance (discolora-
titin) is the grading factor. The No. 4
grade remains practically the same

CMILK ,AND CREAM STANDARDS.

 

EFlNITIONS and, standards for

milk and cream adopted by the.
joint committee on definitions and'

standards, and approved by the Asso-

ciation of American Dairy, Food and .

Drug officials and the AsSociation of
Official Agricultural Chemists, to be
used as a guide for the enforcement of
the food and drugs act, have been pub‘
lished by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture in a circular,
“Food Inspection Decision 178.”

Milk is defined as the whole, fresh,

clean, lacteal secretion obtained by the-

complete milking of one or more heal-
thy cows, properly fed and kept, ex-
cludhig that obtained within fifteen
days before and five days after calv-
ing, or such longer period as may be
necessary to render the milk practical-
ly colustrum free

Pasteurized milk is milk that has
been subjected to a temperature not
lower than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for
not less than thirty minutes. Unless
it is bottled'hot, it is promptly cooled
to fifty degrees Fahrenheit or lower.

Skimmed milk is milk from which
substantially all of the milk fat has
been removed.

Buttermilk is the product that re—
mains when fat is removed from milk

or cream, sweet or sour, in the process .

of churning. It contains not less than
eight and five—tenths per cent of milk
solids, not fat.

,Cream, sweet cream, is that portion'

of milk, rich in milk fat, which rises
to the surface of milk on standing, or
is separated from it by centrifugal
force. It is fresh and clean. It con-
tains not less than eighteen per- cent of
milk fat and not mme than two- tenths
per cent of acid- -reacting substances
calculated in terms of lactic acid.

Whipping cream is cream which con«
tains not less than thirty per cent of
milk fat.

Homogenized milk or homogenized
cream is milk or cream that has been
mechanically treated in such a man-
ner as to alter its physical properties
with particular reference” to the condi-
tion and appearance of fat globules.

The compositidn of the milk produc—
ed by different breeds of dairy cows

varies, so greatly, say the food officials -

that it is not practicable to fix a stan~
dard which is applicable in all locali-
ties in the United States and 'its terri:
tories. It is, therefore, left to the state
and municipal authorities to adopt
such standards as their local produc-
tion conditions may warrant.

A By—Product

Testing Associations

HE advantages of a cow-testing

association are many, such as

ascertaining feed costs of milk
and butter-fat, finding the monthly pro-
duct of each cow in milk and fat, not-
ing variations in the test from month
to menth, and associating them with
different conditions, learning more and
more about adapting the ration to the
production of the cow, increasing or
diminishing it until we have learned to
know just how much we can feed her
and expect to get our money back, and
finding out the “robber cow” that will
not pay for her feed and care under
the most favorable circumstances. Pa-
tience now, reader, we are not going
'to discuss all these various advantages
in this article. We simply wish to tell
of a single by-product of our associa-
tion, and do it in as few words as
possible.

We have been organized but a short
time as yet, and already we are begin—
ning to profit from this one advantage.
I refer to the matter of the cow’s ra-
tion. ‘We are beginning to study it
clOser than ever before, and some who
never studied it before at all, are get.
ting interested now, and are going to
find it much easier to balance the
cow’s allowance of feed than they have
thought.

When the tester reaches the home
of one of the members, he has With
him records of the performance of all
the cows that are being tested, togeth-
er with the kinds and amount of feed
they are receiving; Perhaps one may
not be interested in all the herds in the
association, but he is sure to want to
know about some of them, and these
are likely to be owned by our better
dairymen.

As he studies the record of the per-
formance of these fine herds, andsees
perhaps that they have outstripped the
cows in' his herd by a long way, he
wants to Know What they are being
fed, and how much. These are proper
questions always, and the answers lead
to better practice on his part.

Articles on feeding are all right. I
am sure they are all right, for I have
written lots of them,-and so should
dislike to hearanyone try to discount
their value, but demonstrations are
what counts. A lesson in feeding that
carries with it the evidence that it will
work out, is apt to be heeded and put
in practice. VWe are going to have a
meeting of our association to study ra-
tions. We are coming together to
spend as much of the day as1‘we can

- spare from our homes, just to compare

methods, and results of feeding, and
to get what we can out of the discus-
sions. '
.We are not going to ask anyone from
outside to help us. Our county agent
will probably be there, as we always
like to have him on hand. But the im-
portant thing about this meeting as we
see it is, that we should come together
and do the talking ourselves. Among

' our members are a few dairymen who

probably understand these matters as
well as anyone -we could get‘from out-
side, and they will come and help—not
to impress upon the others their Supe-

of Our CoW

members are feeding expensive rations,
without getting the best results. These
men are going to learn more from this
coming together than they could by
studying books on the subject of feed-
ing, for a long time. The need of bet-
ter roughage is going to be emphasiz-
ed. Hay is very scarce and high in
price. Out‘ of our studies in feeding
is going to grow the purpose to pro-
duce more and better hay. Some of our
people are going after alfalfa with 'a
stronger determination. It may take
liberal applications of lime in» many
cases to get a good stand, but we have
the marl and I confidently expect to
see much of it drawn and applied
whenever weather conditions are fav
arable. _

Sweet clover, too, has a future in
Michigan. It is growing in favor all
the time. In this locality it has never
been grown, but it will be tried out in
the near future.

Present high prices of grains tend to
turn our attention to the matter of
roughage. And good roughage is nec-
issary if the amounts of grain are to
be cut down. Cows will eat timothy
hay and corn stover with a relish, but
alone they will produce but little milk.
If we add corn ensilage we can keep
the cows looking fairly well, but our
cream checks will be small unless we
feed a liberal grain ration, and that
costs heavily now.

'Good clover hay in sufficient amounts
will lessen the need for grain, and a1-
falfa will enable us to do away with
all of it in the case of the light milker,
half of it when feeding the average
milker, and quite an amount of it, even
when feeding the great producer.

'Personally, I regard the earnest and
intelligent study of rations for the
cows, as a by—product of our cow-test-
ing association which in itself will pay
for the money and time spent in this
important work. W. F. TAYLOR.

 

SEEDS IN GREAT DEMAND.

 

HERE is a good demand for Amer-

ican seeds in Scandanavia, accord-
ing to consular reports made to the
Department of Commerce, Consul Hale
of Copenhagen, Denmark, writes:

“There is a very great demand in
Denmark for the following American
seed: “Red clover, alsike, timothy,
white clover, Kentucky blue grass, and
other grass seeds. There is demand
also for cocksfoot, Canadian“ blue
grass, carrot, onion, parsley, cucumber,
melon, beans and peas, beet, celery,
chicory, leek, and tomato seeds.

“It is safe to say that if the United
States can supply the demand the larg-
er portion of Denmark's imported
seeds in the next few years will come
from America. ”

Consul General Fletcher, Christiania,
Norway, says:

“I am informed by a Norwegian seed
expert that, American seeds can be
readily sold in this country. The va-
rieties used in Norway do not differ
materially from the seed placed on
the market in the United States. ,

“It would probably be most advan-

THESE are the days when the farmer is '
getting the most milk, and with butter-

fat at its present high price he should be
sure to get all the cream.

Many “claims” are made for various cream
separators, but the most convincing proof
that the De Laval is the cleanest skimming
machine is_the fact that 98% of the large
creameries of the world, over use the De .
Laval. ‘

Even if 1 you do not separate as much cream
as the large creameryman, you can no more 7
afford to waste cream than he can. 7' i

. TO UN LOAD BRUSH.

 

T frequently becomes necessary for

the farmer to haul» brush Here is
a. method of unloading that we have
found saves much time. The brush
should be unloaded with some butts
sticking out over the rack on either
side or where it is possible to unload
from one side only the side opposite
the wagon from the brush pile. Secure
a. rope from seventy-five to one hun-
dred feet long, pass it up over the mid-
dle of the load from the side where

ing it up the back end of the load and
then forward to the center to the point.
of beginning where a bowline or non-
slip knot is tied. The team is then
hitched to the other end of the rope.
To prevent the wagon or rack tipping
during the process a wire loop is fixed
to the side of the rack and a pole in
serted and allowed to extend several
feet beyond the rack; a man holds
down on the end of this pole while the
team is started. In a jiffy the load will
be on ‘the ground beside the wagon.
The illustration will aid in giving a
clear idea of the method—I. Pattengill.

 

HANDY LIFTING GATE.

I T oftimes happens that there is no
space to swing a gate, or for some
other reason, it is not desirable to do
so. This drawing shows a solid gate
that may be easily lifted because the
pulley weight takes part of the lift and
holds'the gate open so there is no dan-
ger of it dropping unexpectedly to do
damage. A barred gate is built in the
usual way with a diagonal brace to
keep it in shape. The high gate post

 

is made double and the gate is fasten
ed between by one bolt at the bottom,
as shown in the illustration.~—E.-W. G.

HE world war has revealed

to American people the im-
portance of an education in the
spirit of American ideals. That
our leading‘educators have not
been slow to realize the value of
public schools in the making of
better citizens is evident from
the unusual interest they are tak-
ing in the new methods of train-
ing school «children. We' believe
that there is a wonderful oppor-
tunity here in Michigan for the
leaders of our rural schools to
adopt a course of citizen making
along with present courses of
study. '

Such a course, under the guid-
‘ance of a well-posted teacher,
may well consist of plain discus-
sions of current history, news of
the day and facts of interest
about men and women prominent
in public life. Along with dili-
gent, hard work, poring over dog-
eared text books, must come a
simple course of training that
will shift the school-motive from
the individual advantage of the
boy or girl to the larger purpose
of making a desirable citizen. So
long as our schools are support
ed from public funds we have an
unchallenged right to demand of
our directors that they furnish
us with a class of citizens, rath-
er than vote-shirkers, profiteers
and civic bandits. To produce
such a class of young men and
women the leaders of our rural
schools must have a broad un-
derstanding of citizenship and
how to develop that characteris-
tic, at all times, making this, and
not mere scholarship the guid—
ing idea.

Some of our educational lead-
ers would have us put citizen-
ship classes inrthe high schools.

“Scholarship,” says Superin—
tendent Phillips, of the Birming.
ham, Alabama, .schools, “is not ‘
the aim of American schools and
never should be; the emphasis
upon it has isolated schools
from public service, promoted
pedantry, aristocracy and snob-
bery. So long as subjects, not
character, remain the aim, the
schools will be antidemocratic.
This crisis has forced upon the
schools the salutary influence of
doing things directly for the
common welfare. That is the
essence of citizenship. It should
not perish from the schools.”
Then we hear from Principal
Lewis that “the. main thing a
public school should do is to
give its members consciousness
of what is right and proper for a
citizen to be; a habitual will to
do what is right and proper for
a citizen to do. Unless the school
exemplifies Americanism at its
source, and is a seed-bed and
nursery of democracy, why
should democracy support it.”

American schools have been a
big factor in developing civic vir-
tues and training our boys and
girls for service. Not only have
the boys and girls benefited from ‘
such training, but in thousandsr '
of homes fathers and mothers,
who could speak only foreign
languages, have been made to i
understand real Americanism,
through the messages carried
home from public schools by
their children. Is it any Wonder
that we had so many anarchists
and the like here in America
when so many of our foreign
people had no cenceptlon of our
ideas and ideals other than that
formed by reading foreign lan-‘
guage publications and listening
to socialists denounce everything
American. It 'would be'the great-'

make to neglect to make contin—

KEEPING THE GROWS AWAY.

 

N old farmer told me of a method
of frightening away crows that has
never failed. In the middle of the corn
field he placed a pole. Around this he

3}" 'constructed a rude Wigwam by using
He fastened all- ‘

poles or old boards.
securely. Then he made a; scarecrow
like a person and hung it inside» the
hut,'so that it could be seen from the
outside.

About the time the crows were sus-
pected to be ardund, he would go to
this wigwam- and fire a gun. About
once a week he would repeat the shoot‘
ing. The idea was to give the crows
an impression that he was in there
watching. He never had any bother
from crows when he used this means
to scare them.

Another way .that scares crows,'al.-
though not as effectually, is "to make a
scare-crow of a man with a gun in his
hands. But, unless a gun is fired at
times near it, the crows get so that
they do not care for it. Still, many

. times it does keep them away, until

the corn is up ,so that it is safe.

Sometimes if one can shoot a crow
and hang its body near the corn field,
it will scare the crows. Or an' imita.
tion crow’s body made out of an old
stocking with hen’s wings attached,
will do the same. —-C E. R.

CoOperation the Big Problem

But 0227‘ Marketing Orgam'zatzam M mt 5e Built
Upon So/m' Business Prvnczp/es.—e-E. H. Porter

OME of the matters that are forc-
ing themselves upon our attention
at the present time, and which
- concern not only dwellers in the city
but those who live in rural districts,
are questions, it seems to me, primar-
ily belonging to the domain of econom-
ics. They are, in a large sense of the
word, marketing problems, and if we
are to” attempt any solution of these
vexed questions, it should be, it seems
to me, after. we have become possessed
of the essential facts and the under-
lying principles ‘that dominate the
science of economics as applied to mar-
keting.

We speak glibly enough of the

science of marketing. There is no such‘

thing today as a scientific knowledge
‘ of marketing operations. It is one of
those matters that have been delayed
as to investigation and decision.

In the largest sense of the word,
marketing is a part of the costs of pro-
duction, because to the consumer the
cost of production on the farm—which
may be said, in a general Way, to be
indicated by the, price paid to the
farmer—is increased to the consumer

' _ by the cost of distribution, or the real

cost of marketing. Those two costs
added together are the real costs of
marketing, and they apply with ever in-
creasing force to the purse of the con-
sumer.

The question in New York, as it is
elsewhere, is a better distribution of
food. How is that to be achieved?
The wholesale business of New York,
or the wholesale quarters, are those
located» downtown near the wharves,
near Fourteenth street, in the Bronx,
in Harlem, and at Wallabout Bay.

It is a question whether some of
these wholesale centers are at present
adequately located.
they are not. But around these cen-
ters, and particularly in theylower part
of the town are gathered all the
wholesale markets for all commodities,
and the tendency of all these interests
is to gather together in some one
place. ' '

I have established in New York a
market news report, so far as the ap-
propriation at my disposal would al-
low, and I am issuing that report
weekly, and it has grown so that it
includes the leading commodities on
sale in the New York markets.

I‘have also established a service
of grievances. What the farmer in the
country dreads most and, perhaps, has
the most fear of ‘ is what is to befall
the goods’that he ships to an unknown
party in New York.

When they leave his hands in the
car in the country, as a general rule
he has no knowledge of the man to
whom they are consigned; he has nev-

er seen him and knows little about

him, and he feels that this man at the
other end of' the line has the abSOluto'
power to dispose of them as he will,
make such report as he pleases, and
1eturn such amount of money as he
sees fit to him.

He wonders whether the honesty of

that man is beyond reproach And I

=a’m sorry to say that sometrmcés the

hbnesty of the gentleman in question
not been what it should be.

In fact, we know'

will send to my New York ofiice an
account of the transaction, the date of
its shipment, the number} of the car,

character of the goods, the quality, the '

name of the man to whom they are
consigned, and all the data that go
with the shipment of the particular
commodity involved, I will have an in-
spector present when those goods, ar-
rive, to determine their condition, to
find out what is done with them, to
know what they are sold for, to ascer-
tain the date of Sale, and to be ready
to make a report on that transaction
to the shipper in the country if be de-
sires it. .

I have established a bureau of trans-
portation, which investigates the non-
arrival of care when demanded by ship-
pers, delay in. transit, mishandling of
goods—all those matters that pertain
to transportation, for which I have a
specially trained corps of inspectors.

I have established a bureau of ser-
vice with the information bureau,
which is prepared to “answer all in-
quiries that farmers may make.

I might say in regard to market re-
ports that the question is one of the
vexing problems of the systems now
existing.

Market reporting has been a thorn
in the flesh for years. It has been
done by committees of exchange; .it
has been done by making a record of
sales; it has been done by committee
meetings behind closed doors, and it
has been done by independent and pri-
vate reporters of markets.

The objections to sales lists made
up by commission houses are natural
enough, that they are the most inter-
ested parties. ‘If they are wholesalers,
it is to their interest that commodities
should be underquoted. If they are
jobbers, selling to retailers, it is to
their interest that the prices should be
overquoted.

And while it does not necessarily fol-
low that self— interest will betray every
man into a dishonest statement, the
temptation is here and should be re-
moved.

To pass from that to a bureau of co-
operation: I will only refer to my last
bulletin, ‘Foods and Markets.” There
is a “Foreword” in this bulletin from
which I quote a line or two:

“Cooperation is the keynote of twen-
tieth century activity. In cooperation
with our allies, the world war has
been won. Cooperation in the indus-
trial world has led to the successful
operation of gigantic enterprises and
it has brought about collective bargain-
ing and the improvement of the condi-
tion of industrial workers.

“Cooperation is the keynote of twen-
tieth century activity. In cooperation

there are a large number of enterpris-

es that have been conspicuously suc-
cessful. The main and ultimate pur-
pose of cooperation is to make the pro-
ducer master of his own business. For
many'weary years he has received the

. wages of a laborer. The time has Come

when he may secure the profits that
justly belong to him, through a proper

In order to bring this about the produc4

Cletrac

TANK - TYPE TRACTORi

The logical successor to

the horse and male

R. F. H. JOHNSON of New Augusta, Ind, re-
ports that last July he used the Cletrac 1n loading
hay and got in the crop from l40 acres at the rate of

about 35 tons a day.

"Besides getting the hay Into the

barn in such good time," says Mr. Johnson, I made a
substantial saving by not having to. Work my draft stock

on this hot, horse-killing job."

Just another example of Cletrac adaptability and ell-I
licicncy—just another case of doing more work more

days in the year with the Cletrac.

The Cletrac tank-type tractor is versatile and ex-

tremely rugged.

it is small enough to be used economically on light
iobs, yet powerful enough to handle the majority of the
so-called heavy work about the farm.

It plows, barrows, plants, reaps, binds, threshes, hauls,
cuts ensilage, fills silos, saws wood, and does practically
all the work done by animal and stationary engine power.

It is the logical successor to the horse and mule. It is
more efiicient and does not only more work but better

and cheaper work.

The tank-type construction of the Clctrac enables it
to operate over soft ground where other machines would
wallow and dig themselves in -an invaluable asset in

the preparation of the seed bed.

it will go practically anywhere—and does not pack

down the soil.

Now just a word as to markets:
There is so much to say about mar-
kets that it is hard to determine what
points to'take up. Let us take up, for

1 example, the country- points of sale
. and the defects.

Now, the farmer can sell his goods
directly to the consumer; he can sell
to the country store; he can sell to

' shippers at his local "marketplace. If
' he undertakes to selldirect to the con-
, Sumer in these days, it means that he
' must either establish a connection be-

tween himself and certain people in
the nearest city or truck his goods in.

It is apparent, upon a survey of the

. situation, that such a method as that

is only applicable to a comparatively
few farmers. It is impossible for all
the farmers surrounding any city to
establish points of marketinggcontact
with the consumers in a satisfactory
way. That, of course, leads up again
to the consideration of so—called farm-
ers’ markets, which have been advocat-
ed by a great many as one of the main
solutions of this marketing problem.

Well, let us see how that works out.
Let us take; for example, a good-sized
city of a million or two of inhabitants.
Let us take New York. Now, only ten
per cent of the food consumed in New
York City comes from New York state.
To say the least, I was astonished
when I discovered that fact.

As to prices of farm products: It
has been stated that the farmer re-
ceives thirty-five cents on a dollar. Is
it true? Is it true that the farmer only
receives thirty~five cents out of every
dollar that has been paid for the com-
modities that he sells?

Only thirty~five cents? Well, true
or not, you and I have read that in ag-
ricultural papers, and in the daily
press and in magazine articles, by men
who are supposed to know. We have
read that for years. And we have be-
lieved it. I did; I believed it. And I
got very hot under the collar about
it, too.

And I am not sure yet but what that
heat was somewhat justified. But as
I stated at the beginning of this little
discussion, as I have gone into the

receives only thirty-five cents out of
every dollar is not jusifled by facts.
And it is the facts of the case that we
are after. Now it is true that the farm-
er, for certain commodities, certain of

and one-third per cent.

To give a concrete illustration. Out
in Minnesota, Where lettuce is raised,
only ten miles from Minneapolis, the
farmer receives only thirty-three and
one-third per cent of the retail price,
and it goes through only one middle-
man. But in butter, figured in buttef—
fat, the farmer receives seventy-seven
cents on the dollar; live stock, fifty-
e’lght cents on the dollar; wheat, nine-
ty cents on the dollar.

The ~butter sent from Minnesota goes
through the hands of four middlemen,
including the transportation "company,
and brings back to the creamery, the
original seller, seventy-seven per cent
of the butter price.

So in geneial I may say, in passing,
that the presence of one or two or
more middlemen seems to have very
little influence onthe final cost to the
"consumer or the percentage of the
price that the farmer receives!

In my studies of this question, I

the situation. The question is, what Is
to be done? How are you going to do .
it? The consumer thinks that some
body, some time, semewhere, some-
how, is going to reduce the retail price
of the articles that he buys. I can tell
the consumer that that is never going
to be done in any such wayr as that. It
is going to be when the consumer him-
self rises to his duties; it is when the
transporation companies face the diffi-
culties, when the system of commer-
cialism in New York faces the difficub
ties, and when the producer himself
takes hold of it in a scientific way—-
then we will begin to come to a new
era and a new method of distribution
of commodities. ’

 

GETTING OUT M ARL.

 

OMETIME ago the United States

government in cooperation with the
Department of Farm Mechanics began
an investigation of the possibilities of
the marl deposits at the bottom of a.
great many small lakes in Michigan;
These deposits are a formation of a
sticky jelly-like lime deposit, said to
have been made by a type of lime form-
ing plant which grows in these lakes.
The marl analyzes very high in avail-
able lime content and is claimed to be
equal, yard for yard, with ground lime.-
stone for agricultural purposes.

This year Prof. Musselman, head of
the Agricultural Engineering Depart-
ment at the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege, hit upon a scheme for pumping

the material out with a type of pitcher 1.

pump that is used for pumping sand.
He placed Prof. D. H. Flower, of the
college staff, in charge of a series of
experiments in this pumping work. In
the looser types of the material very
promising results were secured, but
the majority of the material would not
pump Without some sort of agitation.
Every possible kind of mechanical agi-
tator was tried but none proved wor-
thy of adoption. In doing some ex-
plosive work with Prof. Musselman, he
and the writer hit upon the idea that
dynamite might prove the solution of
this problem.

A short time ago Mr. Flower and my.
self tried this out with twenty per
cent dynamite. We were extremely
successful and came to the definite
conclusion that it was possible and
economical to use low-grade explosives
for this work. The dynamite was wa-
terproofed with marl itself. '

While varying features have to be
worked out, yet the writer feels sure
that the lime problem for Michigan is

well on the way to a very, successful'

solution. This is especially important
at the present time because of the very
greatly increased possibilities of food
production from the use of lime on
nearly all farms in Michigan. The
work on these experiments is being
rushed as a war preparedness meas-
ure. . The deposits of this material are
enormous and every farm in this state
is said to need lime. _ The material is
already being marketed after being ex~
cavated with a drag-line. bucket, but
this equipment is more expensive than
the pump method promises to be. This
material is we are told, excavated with
the pump in a large operation near
Chicago, where the material is used in.

-the manufacture of Portland cement.
The outfit planned is such as can be
purchased at very 81113.11 expense and -

operated by a farmer on his own farm

or by a group of farmers, and as these?

lakes are to he found in almost all
parts of the state the transports on
costs will be v'erylow. .

JUST how important is the [dyer-upofl—layer
construction which Goodyear employs in
the manufacture of tubes? .

Does it make them stronger—longer—lived
——better containers of’air?

Well, for nine years we have been building
balloons and dirigibles, in the construction
of which our first and mOSt complex prob-
lem was that of inflatibn. For gas is vola-
tile, much more elusive than air, harder to
capture a-nd'hold. ‘

It was finally demonstrated, however, that
rubberized fabrics, built up layer-upon—layer,
formed the most practical container for
this gas. . ’

Once this fact was established, it seemed
quite logical that the same principle should
prOve even more successful whenapplied to

, tubes. For a tube’s sole function is to hold air.

We thus evolved the Goodyear Heavy Tourist
Tube, making itof pure gum str1ps,_building
them up, layer—upm-layer, then curing them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

together, after which the valve-patch, was
vu canlzed 1n.

The soundness of this method was imme-
dlately established.

The thin layers of rubber» cured one upon
the other enabled the elimination of all
defects, such as sand holes and porousness.
This construction also gave the body of the
tube a cries-cross grain which prevented.
splitting if punctured. Finally, by Vulcan-
izing the valve—patch securely into the tube
we prevented all leaks at this source.

There is an observable tendency amongmo»
torists everywhere to use Goodyear Heavy
Tourist Tubes exclusively. ,

They have learned that the slightly added
cost of these thick, grey tubes is more than
justified by their longer life and by the pro-
tection which they undeniably give to casings.

More Goodyear Tubes are used than any J

other kind.

constructed where the fall is decreas-
ed in the direction of the flow.

Engineers and laymen alike locate
the basin at the point of the break of
grade. The writer prefers the location
in a. place where the velocity begins to
harmonize and the current in the tile,
so to speak, is meeting with resistance
and the substances are getting to rest
a few feet below the break. Another
reason for the location at this point is,
that if the basin is filled the accumu-
lation will take place up stream and
the cleaning out of the tile would be
'better and easier accomplished.

.The construction of the basin as
shown in accompanying illustration, is
large enough to admit a man for clean-
ing and will answer for all ordinary
purposes. It should be made from
strong concrete, thirty inches in diam-
eter, and if square, thirty inches. A
concrete cover three inches thick re-
inforced with light wire one and a half-
inch mesh, should be furnished. - The
bottom of the basin should be twefity-
four inches below the bottom of the
tile and the cover should be safely be-
low rrost line.

SOY BEANS WITH CORN.

 

Will you please advise me in regard
to the following: I have a. field which
I am going to plant to corn in check-
rows. It is hilly so will have to plant
by hand, but want to plant soys with
the corn. What is the best way to get
the soy bean seed in and the variety
to use? Wish to pasture this field lat-
er» in the summer with sheep and turn
in hogs when the corn is mature. How
much rape seed per acre should I use
at the last cultivation? M. D.

As you must plant this field by hand
I see no other way to plant the soy
beans only’to go over‘tbe field again
and plant the beans by hand. The
beans could be planted close by the
side of the corn so that it would not
interfere with the cultivating. I think

NAME FOR THE FARM.

 

I would like to name my farm Can
you help me find an appropriate name?
I keep about fifteen head of cattle and
sell milk. The land is level and a
brook flows through one end of farm.

Van Buren Co. L. C. K.

More than one person besides L. C.
K. has been puzzled by'this same ques-
tion—what name shall I give my farm?
Of course, it is purely a personal mat-
ter, one for the owner himself to de-
cide, yet it may be of some assistance
to state in a general way what has in-
fluenced some people to select the
name which they did for their farm,

Many times some natural object or
distinguishing feature of the farm sug-
gests the name. For instance, a nice
spring brook that can be seen by pass-
ers-by suggests the name of Spring
Brook Farm, or a grove of oak trees
suggests the name of Oak Grove Farm
or Oak Lawn, or Maple Crest because
of a grove of maples which are on a.
rise of ground, or Orchard Grove, Hill-
side Farm, etc. In fact, any individual
characteristic of the farm can well be
used.

Again, any characteristic of the
buildings can be used. For instance,
Green Gables when the gable of the
house are painted green, and especial-
ly if the house is so built that the gab-
les are a prominent feature. Then the
particular kind of farming can be em-
bodied in the name with good effect,
like Hillside Stock Farm, or Rochester
Stock Farm, or Sunnyside Dairy, etc.

Still again, one can use his own
name with the name of his farm as
Porter Estate or Klingman Hill Farm,
Lillie Farmstead, etc. This last name
I selected for my own farm because
the number and arrangement of the
buildings seemed to fit. in well with
Prof. Robert’s definition of a. farm-
stead and then I would like to have
the name also go on down through the
generations. 8. c. L.

In order that money invested in a power-plowing outfit may return
satisfactory dividends. every precaution should be taken to avoid interrup-
tions during the plowing season. Choosing a safe plow is just as important
as getting the right tractor, for if the plow goes wrong, your entire outfit
is “hung-up.” . ,

For that reason reserve strength is more necessary
in a tractor plow - than in one drawu by horses.
Again, you will want to do summer plowmg when'
your soil is dry and hard, and that makes a safe
margin of strength highly important. These facts
were kept constantly in mind in designing

Tractor Gag Plows

Every part subject to strain was made “a little stronger than seemed
necessary”——axles, beams, beam braces, coulter stems. For example, front
axles on most tractor plows are 1% inches in diameter. Those on the
Avery measure 1% inches 36 per cent heavier.

The beam braces, besides being of extra size, have an unusually long
hearing on the beams, giving great strength where strength is needed. The
beams are 2%; inches wide by 27/8 inches deep, with a high curve at the
throat that gives plenty of clearance for deep plowing in trashy fields.

Building extra strength into a tractor plow in these times of high-priced
steel costs money, but it pays in added years of service and freedom from
costly delays. Furnished with two or three 12- or 14-inch bottoms, stubble,
turf-and-stubble, mixed land and blackland shapes.

Lo 0 i
. llll€ Farm
I AM unusually glad to see the grass
grow again this year. We never
were'so completely cleaned out of for-
age for live stock in the history of my
farming as this past winter. Before
the grass grew again we were entirely
out of silage and finally out of hay,
and I did something that I have advis-
ed farmers a good many times not to
do, and that was to allow dairy. cows
to go without hay, even when they had
to pay a big price for it, but the old
saying, “circumstances alter cases,”
proved true. There was no hay to be
had anywhere in our country; it was
all cleaned up. Hay sold on the Grand
Rapids market as high as $35 a. ton
and in Muskegon I understand it was
sold for $40 per ton this spring. This
simply means that there was no hay to
be bought and that was a. fact in our
particular neighborhood. We had lots
of good straw and so we took the cows
through for several days on simply
straw and grain. Of course, we put
them on the pasture earlier than we
usually would under the circumstances
and by feeding grain liberally they
haven’t done so badly, yet I am confi-
dent that had the hay been available‘
it would have paid me in the long run
to have purchased it even at a high
price, but when money won’t buy it

to get along without it just as we did
with some things during the war.
Wheat.

In‘ our particular neighborhood I
don’t think wheat ever looked any
more promising than it does this
spring. I don’t 'know of one poor piece
of wheat and the most of it is excel-
lent. Of course, the. farmer never
knows what the 'crop will amount to
until he gets it harvested but under or-

HIS insect is'well known to the
growers of cucumbers, melons,
squash and pumpkins. The bright yel-
low colored beetle is a little less than
half an inch long with three black
stripes on its wing-covers. It is a na-
tive of this country and is listed as
one of the most serious of the insects
attacking the curcurbits.

Just about the time that the cucum-
ber or melon plants come through the
ground they are attacked by these hun~
gry beetles. They feed ravenously on
the young plants, often making reseed-
ing necessary. A little later the adult

Slender, white, boring grubs that are
so often found tunneling in the roots.
Severe attacks of these larvae often
cause the plant to wilt and die.

Life History.

The beetles spend the winter under
trash, in the ground, or wherever suit-
able shelter can be found. In the
spring they usually appear shortly be-
fore the plants are up and feed for
some time on the pollen of flowers, or
other plants, until their favorite food
is handy. The female beetle lays about
a hundred eggs which are deposited in
any, convenient place on or near the
plants. These eggs hatch in eight or
ten days and the young larvae burrow
into the stem or root. Sometimes they,
are found under the fruit as it. lies. on
the ground which often resultsvin’rot-
ting. When full grown these larvae

dinary conditions we are going .to hafi
vest the best crop of wheat in years.
‘ Grass.

New-seeded meadows are not as
promising as last year owing to the ‘
fact that there isn’t as good a stand.
The dry seasOn last year killed some
of the young clover and many fields
are thin and spotted, but the warm
weather of the past few days is boom-
ing it and I know from past experience
that clover plants, like other plants,
will develop wonderfully when they
are not crowded if conditions are right.
' Spring Cereals.

The prospect is none too good for
oats and barley. Excessive heavy rains
came after most of these cr0ps were’
sowed. They packed the ground down.
so firmly that some of it could not

come up at all and most of it was .

somewhat injured. You never can get
a maximum crop on Our rather heavy
land if we have a hard rain after the
grain is sown before it germinates be-
cause of the effect of this heavy rain
in packing the ground excludes the‘
air and prevents the young plants from
developing normally.

Peas.

This same criticism applies to the
pea crop which is quite an important
one in Our countys now. The ground
was packed down so firmly that in
places the peas are not more than half
a stand. On lighter portions of the
same field there is a good stand. In
some of the lower places the seed ac-
tually rotted and did not germinate at
all. It is too early to predict what the
harvest will be because there are so
many conditions that cannot be com
trolled but prospects are fair, taking
everything into consideration, to say
the least. C. C. L.

Striped Cucumber Beetle

These are the ones thatcpas’s the win-

Control Measures.

Inasmuch as the beetles spend the
winter under rubbish, clean culture
will be an important step. in the con-
trol of this pest. Gather and burn, or
otherwise destroy, all remnants of the
season’s crop, and if possible burn the
dry grass along the fence rows. If
these hibernating places are destroyed
this pest and many others will be do
prived of their usual winter quarters.

When the plants are young a cover-
ing of wire screen or netting will keep
the beetles off. A frame may be made
by cutting a barrel hoop into halves
and fastening them together in the‘
middle so that‘they are at right angles
to each other. Screen or netting can

on until the plants are quite large. In-
jury may be prevented if. the plants
are'sprayed with Bordeaux mixture or
arsenate of lead. This renders the
plants distasteful to the beetles, acting
as a repellent. A dust made of one
part of flour of sulphur and mixed with
five or six parts of hydrated lime dust- .
ed on the plants is a good remedy.

Experiments prove conclusively that
gains made on grasses and forage
crops are always cheaper than gains
made on grain or by-product feeds”
During. ordinary years a saving of
about thirty-five per cent may be made
in the cost of producing the first one
hundred and twenty pounds of growth
by prOviding good pastures for the
pigs. Under present Conditions a skill-
ful feeder, should be able to make a
saving of more than fifty per cent in
carrying his pigs along in good condi-
i tion until his corn crop is matured suf-
ficiently for‘fall feeding. By making a
more general uSe of pasture crops the
pigs may not attain heavy weights, but
if they are» fed limited quantities of
grain feed they will be thrifty and cap-
able of making economical use of the
corn crop when it is fit for feeding.

t Alfalfa, clover and bluegrass are the
ideal crops for pastures but the hog
, grower who has failed to provide an
:1 abundance of these valuable crops can
do the next best thing and sow oats
and peas, soy beans, cowpeas, rape,
corn and mixed crops. The kind of
grain to feed in connection with pas~
, ture crops will depend largely upon the
1 quality of the pasture crops and the
' prices of the various grains and by-
product feeds. When the pasture crops
are legumes,‘such as alfalfa, cowpeas,
soy beans or clovers, corn will be the
J most economical grain feed. But when
the pastures are made up of bluegrass,
oats and peas, rape and mixed grain
crops it will pay better to feed linseed
meal, tankage, and other rich protein
feeds in connection with the corn. In
comparing the results of feeding ex-
4 periments reported by several of the
leading stations we find that the
amount of grain fed with grass and for-
age crops is of greater importance
than the kinds in making up economi-
l cal rations.

0n pasture crops alone the pigs will
just about hold their weight, so if gains
are to be obtained it becomes neces-
sary to feed some grain feeds in addi-
tion to the pasture crops. At present

half pounds of grain daily to each
spring pig that has the run of suitable
grass and forage crops. If the pasture
crops fail to make satisfactory growth
more. grain must be supplied, for there , .
_ is no economy in allowing the pigs to ‘

is ready.

Still further economies in feeding
may be made by planting soy beans in
the corn rows of a portion of the crops
and turning the pigs on the field as
soon as the corn is fit for “hogging
down.” This will save a number of
days’ time and more feeding value will
be Obtained from ' the field than by '
husking‘the corn and feeding it to the i
pigs later in the season. The soy bean
crop, being rich in protein, helps to

, balance up the corn crop and makes
an ideal ration for . conditioning the

ELECTRIC BLASTING WITH AN‘ EN-
GINE MAGNETO.

 

HE advantages of electric blasting
are many and are well known to
those familiar with the use of explo-
sives. However, the cost of a blasting
machine makes it impractical except
on large jobs.
I am writing this in the hope that
the suggestion herein contained will
prove of value to those having a few
stumps to blast or a small job of ditch-
ing on hand.
I find that the current generated by
the magneto of an automobile engine
will range in capacity from fifty caps
up. I have not tested out the various
engines with a rheostat but am satis-
fied that the current from a magneto
will be amply sufficient for a dozen or
so of caps, which is about what is gen-
erally required.
It naturally follows that the current
from any magneto-driven engine will
answer the purpose and it only re-
mains that a means of diverting a part
of the. current must be found. This is
readily answered in the case of an air
tornobile whose magneto current is
used for lighting as is the case with
the Ford: Disconnect the first light
from the magneto wire and to this
wire attach your blasting lead-wire,
ground the other blasting lead—wire to
the frame of the motor, start your en-
gine and turn on your lights with the
liglit‘switch and the trick is turned.
I may say parenthetically that an elec-
tric blasting cap is in effect a minia-
ture electric light and it is the heating
of the filament-wire by the current
It must be borne in mind that several
that causes the detonation.
hundred feet of leading wire must be
used in order that the car may be kept
at a safe distance; however, this is
much more economical than a blasting
machine when there is only a limited
use for it. G. F. DELAMA'I‘ER.

FAT STOCK SHOW FOR MICHIGAN.

 

FAT stock show and public auc-

tion is to be inaugurated at the
1919 Michigan State Fair, as a new
feature of the exposition. Cattle,
sheep and swine entries will be receiv-
ed, and any entry may be placed on
the public auction block by the ex-
hibitor.

Though the official announcement of
this new department has just been
made by G. W. Dickinson, Secretary—
Manager of the Fair Association, a
number of full car exhibits have al-
ready been entered, and the enthusi-
asm aroused indicates that the fat
stock show will become one of the out-
standing features of the fair.

In installing this department, the
fair executive is not only opening the
exposition to the commercial field, but
is also enlarging the educational scope
of the fair.

The inauguration of this new feature
resulted from demands made by stock
buyers, packing men, and stock raisers
of the state. These men are desirous
of a great central market where the
best stock of the state will be exhibit-
ed and offered for sale on the auction
block.

At the 1918 exposition the prize fat
steer was put up at auction by Charles
Prescott, of Tawas City, the owner;
and after spirited bidding among the
packers, was 'sold to Thomas E. New-
,ton, of the Newton Packing Company,
Detroit, for seventy cents a pound on
the hoof. This price established a rec-
ord in the state, but Mr. Dickinson be-
lieves a new record will be hung up

LUCKY ADAM.

 

The day Adam was condemned to
work for a living was the luckiest day
of his life. He had all the world given
him to work in, no rent to pay, the
whole crop for himself, no landlord or
middleman to divide profits with, and
every lick of his hoe was a lick for
himself. Every drop of sweat he shed
upon the land watered his own crop,
and he did not have to fence against
his neighbor’s chickens. He was con-
demned to sweat, but he found, as his
sons have since found, that sweat is

‘ 22x36 Ideal
Separator

Cline Greatest

HE first principle of capacity and thorough clean

work in a thresher is to keep the straw moving. We

knew that and built the Ideal around that principle—
with the reSult that the straw is on the move every
minute and moving in the right direction—in a steady
even flow. ‘

First of all, the Rumely cylinder is called upon to do
one thing only—to knock the grain from the heads. Notice
the position of the grates in the Ideal—not half way up the
cylinder but right behind and beneath, where they allow
the cylinder to relieve itself of the straw at the most nat-
ural point—the bottom, before the cylinder starts on its
upward turn.

Then comes the Ideal travelling rake or revolving grate,
devised to carry the straw from the cylinder and deliver it
to the straw rack in a constant even stream.

. Briefly, the action is this. When the straw reaches the
cylinder the greater part of the grain is shot through the
open grate immediately—the straw and whatever grain re-
mains in it shoots over into the jaw between the travelling
rake and the first winged beater. This beater forces the
straw with a thud hard against the travelling rake which is
slatted. This agitation means stillmore separation. Then
the travelling rake, moving constantly, delivers the straw
to another beater at the top‘of‘ the rake, which further
agitates it and delivers it to the straw rack in a constant
even stream.

This combination of features in the Ideal is with-
out doubt the greatest grain separating device ever

opinion.

invented. It is an absolute guarantee against bunchrng
of the straw, winding of the cylinder, choking up.

But the grain isn’t all saved even when the straw is
properly delivered, unless it is handled in the right manner
after it gets onto the straw rack.
agitate the straw. That is not enough.

In the Ideal, no sooner does the straw drop onto the
rack than a set of lifting fingers picks it up.
fingers tear the straw open, rake it, beat it from beneath—
compelling complete separation.
of these lifting fingers on the Ideal straw rack and each set
means a complete break in the straw.

The extra chaffer area, together with the adjustable
sieves in the shoe and the Ideal system of wind control,
guarantee a perfect job ofclean—
ing without waste, no matter
what the conditions may be.

neighborhood — ask him his

polishing glas'Ses. A wrecked man at
the far table was sleeping noisily.

Back to the window sped Halliday’s
eyes, and then—his eyes opened wide;
his foot slipped off the railing. Was
this the girl, fascinatingly beautiful,
who had been beckoning to him? This
girl with ashy, yellow face, pleading
eyes, shaking hand——all speaking ter«
ror, horrible terror.

‘ He watched her, fascinated. Her
lips moved. Was she saying some-
thing?

And then a shriek—short, agonizing
——cut off by a claw-like, yellow hand
being jammed across her mouth—and
then she was gone. ‘

Halliday rushed across the saw-dust-
ed floor, and jerked open the _door. A.
closed taxicab was moving away. It
passed through a path of light from
the window. Pressed against the side
glass for an instant was a face, yel-
low, sneering nostrils——then it slipped
into the darkness.

Halliday looked around. The street
was deserted, absolutely. The red light
on the back of the taxi got small-—
smaller. Halliday thought—thought
hard, thought fast. There wasn’t a sec-
ond in which to give the alarm. Some-
thing must be done, done quick. Wild-
ly he looked everywhere. Not
a thing in sight—yes, half
hidden in the shadows leaned
a bicycle. ‘

A few seconds and he was
racing, after the red speck,
which luckily for him kept
straight on.' The taxi was not
going fast. In four blocks he
had come up to within a hun-
dred feet of it. He began
looking for a policeman——

the dead street.
And then he commenced to

feel uneasy. What if she
wasn’t in the taxi? He rode
up alongside the car. They

passed one of the infrequent
street lights; and he got a.
glimpse of two terrified eyes, a. pug
nose, a rag drawn between teeth.

He felt easier. Those within must

legs told him that he could not stand

the handle-bars. At last he caught up,
and reaching out grabbed a rod.

And then he

they were racing along, meant to give

on the side of the car.‘ Could he get
from the wheel to it—in the darkness?
The bicycle was nearly touching the
curb» He was afraid—not of hurting
himself, but of failing—and what it
meant. . - ,
And’ then—with his two hands he
grabbed the rod, tight: he swung his

That he might be able to find again
the spot where they had gone into the
building, he threw down his hat to

the pace for long. Perhaps he could mark the place, then ran to the nearest

street. Half-way down the block he
saw the lights of a cab, coming so
slowly that it seeemed to be standing
still, He ran to 'meet it. Hurriedly,
and anxiously, he told the sleepy driv-
er what had happened, and begged him
to get the police. -

“Aw right. Get ap.” And the cab

Halliday looked after it, anxiously.
The driver probably considered him
insane or drunk, and had already 'put
the incident out of his mind,

The light burned his face as an Aug-

password—he had probably got it
wrong; or perhaps— -

Darkness. He stepped back. Then

a clanking, squeaking, then a black op- ,

ening outlined itself on the dark wall.
Halliday did not hesitate. The whole
thing seemed prearranged.
He stepped in. The door shut be-

hind him; the chains clanked into
place. It was black, inky black.
He took a few uneasy steps. Then

stopped. He put out his arms side-
ways. The tips of his fingers barely
touched the side walls.

He started walking slow, hands in
front of him. The boards groaneddis—
mally as he stepped on them. A vague
uneasiness began to force itself on
him. He walked on, his tip-toes—so
as not to hear the ghastly echoes of
his own footsteps. -

Strange noises came from nowhere
-——from everywhere; now like a shriek-
ing December blast; now like a death
dirge—unknown, mysterious, they fill-
e‘d him with a new terror. Faster and
faster did he walk—then he ran.

Suddenly and ' unexpectedly
his foot came down on—noth-
ing. He pitched forward,
throwing out his hands. Down,
down—then he struck, crash-
ing, rolled over and over, and
down, down, down—then stop-
ped abruptly.

Carefully he felt around. He

had rolled down a flight of
stairs—stopping in scant time
to keep from going dOWn an-
other flight.
_ At the bottom a passage
stretched, damp and dripping.
Smoking lamps, which hung
irregularly, cast snagy shad-
ows. As he hurried along his
footsteps echoed hauntingly

Suddenly he stopped, turn-
ed, and listened. He could see noth-

almost shrieked. ,

Not twenty feet away were three yel—
low men, black-robed, coming toward
him. 'He must meet them. His heart
pounded furiously.

They stopped. By will power he
made his shaking legs keep moving.

Now he was up to them. They step-
ped to one side, and stood backs to the
wall. He felt their eyes full on him,
but he kept his face straight ahead.

No. He must look around—must, must.
He‘did. The threehad turned. Five
eyes met his. The yellow man in front
had a round hole where an eye had
once been. -

Fifty feet farther and the paSsage
turned. Halliday ran, and ran. He
stopped quick. A bamboo doorbldek-
ed the way. . .

Halliday pushed the door open a lite ‘

tie, and cautiously peeked in. The room
was large. In the center sat, a circle

Then mingled with the jabbering

there came another sound—-—a velvety .
_ pat- pat- -pat——far away at first; but

coming closer.

He shivered with a realization of
what he knew he would see if he look-
ed back—and what a hurried glance
showed him. A hundred feet away
they were, the one- -eyed man first.

Halliday looked into the room, wild-
ly. Could he slip in unnoticed, and
hide in the shadows? Improbable.

‘ But was it impossible? Anyway he

had no choice.
Flat on stomach he pushed the door
open with his head, and with his body

through, he lay there trembling. The
jabbe1ing continued. Ten feet away

lay a gigantic vase which he could
hide behind, if——

He started again dragging himself
along. He could feel his heart beating
against his rib—yet he had lost the
fear of a few minutes before. He crawl-
ed several feet, then stopped. He was
on the edge of a broad light patch
through which he must go to reach the
vase

Halliday looked at the Chinamen
again. A fellow with a red scar aCI oss

hoping, yes, praying—that he would
look away. The seconds passed.

Abruptly the door was given a shove
and the three yellow men walked in,
and spoke a few words. The others
jumped up, and started out.

A slippered foot came within two
inches of Hallidaly’s face. For what
seemed hours it rested there. Then
it lifted and passed out after the
others. .

Halliday got up, and took a rush
glance about the room. No doors, no
windows could he see. And yet there
must be some way of getting out other
than the bamboo door. Perhaps the
wall draperies concealed an opening.
He ian along, jerking them back, find-
ing nothing. .

What was that? He stopped. The
wind? In these underground cham—
bers? Improbable. Could it be—he

laid his ear against the wall. In the"

corridor the velvety pat—pat-pat was
getting louder. Were they returning?
And then he heard the strange sound

‘ again. This time there could be no

mistake. It was the muffled moaning
of a gagged person.

The footsteps seemed just outside
the door.

Halliday looked about wildly. He
felt sure that the girl was on the other
side of the wall~but how to get to
her? Surely there was an entrance
from the room he was in to where she
was? But where? How? Sign of op-
ening there certainly was none.

The pat-pat-pat had ceased. Every-
thing was silent—ominously silent.

A grimy spot on the wall—What was
that? And those finger marks. A
breath of'damp air struck his face—-
the bamboo door was open.

Halliday stepped close to the wall,
in a green shadow; he pressed with his
thumb on... the grimy spot—once, twice.
And then a panel, two feet square, slid
to one side. slowly. He crawled
through the hole. His fingers shook so
he could scarce close the panel.

Then he, listened. Were they whis-
pering, or did the wall deaden sounds.
He stood up. and looked around.

With a thrill of delight he flew
across to a little figure huddled against
the wall. It was she. Chalky—faced,
gagged, ankles bound together, hands
tied behind her back.

He DUt his fingers to his lips. The
despairing wild eyes told that she un—
derstood. He pulled out the cloth, and
untied the ropes.

Back to the secret panel he tip-toed.
He would have been glad to hear even

it mean?

He would have permitted her to go»
ahead, but he feared another flightof

“Hurry, hurry!” Her voice pleaded.
“I know that—” - '

Preferring anything to the terrors
of darkness, they rushed into the room

long narrow room, not unlike a Pull-
man sleeping car. On each side of a
long dark passageway were curtained
bunks, upper and lower, with bamboo
pillows. The whole was filthy. Their
nostrils were filled with an odor—sick-
eningly sweet. Here and there lay
long metal tubes with a cup-like ar—
rangement near one end.

There were two «heavy doors,
studded, one at each end of the
room. To the nearer Halliday

rushed. It waslocked.
“Oh! Oh!” The girl stifled
her shriek. He turned. She,

wild-eyed, was looking down the
passage that they had just come

through.
Halliday rushed for the other
door, she after him. The man

threw his weight on the door.
Slowly it gave in. He pulled the
girl in after him, and jammed

the door shut. He felt around
till he found the bolt—then
threw it.

Then he turned. All was dark-
She took hold of his hand.
He could feel her shaking—.—
jerking.

He shivered. He didn’t know
Why. Though the door was bolt-
ed, he felt the danger to be
greater than before.

He took a. step‘ forward. She
gripped his hand tighter. He
wanted to yell—to run—to do
something—anything. He strain-
ed his eyes, but saw nothing.

Of what was he frightened?
He tried to laugh, but instead
gave a death-like gasp. The girl
was shaking horribly-he could}
hear her teeth clicking together.

He took a step forward, hand

And then the lig his went on. Direct-

scattered about the room, standing or
sitting.

The giant grunted. A great round-
headed fellow trotted up’to the " girl
and seized her around the waist. Hal-

Halliday jumped over it,
and smashed the roundheaded fellow
square on the jaw. He dropped.

Pat-pat-pat. Halliday whirled. They
were on him—the whole pack. > He hit
out straight from the shoulder, rights
and lofts. Screams of pain, and anger,
the shrieks of the girlé-filled the air.

One slippéd in low and grabbed Hal-

and his hands loosened.

“Here’s a knife. Cut your feet loose.

Then see to the girl. These devils—3’ » ‘
And the oflicer rushed for the door, re-
volver in hand.

Halliday found the girl under anoth-
er rug.

Crack! Crack! The officer was fir-
ing through the door. Cries of rage—
possibly pain. Then quiet. The officer
”turned his head a little.

“Got a gun?”

Hulliday shook his head. 3

“Well, you'd better look around and

see if you can find anything. The
Chinks know what’ll happen to them if .
we ever get out of here. See if there's
any other way out of this hole. I’ll
stay here. They may try to bust in.
Say, Miss, you’d better get Over in the
corner, so if~yes, that’s better.”
i. Halliday walked around the room. In
a far corner hung two great swords.
crossed ornamentally. He pulledjone
down. It was extremely heavy, with a
straight, two- edged blade—surprisingly
sharp. , ~

“Better’n nothing)? Commented the
officer. “Find any way to get out?”

Halliday told him that he had not.

“Come oVer here to the door. I
elisten. Hear anything?” ,-

The silence became oppressive. ”
, “Think I was throwing you down?

asked the officer at length. l '

Halliday admitted that for a 'few
minutes it had looked that way.

The officer, revolver in hand, kept
an eye on the door.

“Well, when I come in two of the
devils stuck right to me, one on my

right and‘one on my left. Each had a p,

hand under his blouse. Oh, I saw you
all right; but if I’d have let on there’d
be fourteen inches of steel sticking in
my back right now.

“When we got out in the h0p_joint,

' I told ’em I’d dropped something, and
I started back. I got about ten feet
and then they got wise and started
after me. I ran an just beat ’em.”

‘fThe old cab driver told you did
he “r"

.‘ers. Kelly and I had just left the
station on a hurry-up call, when we
met the driver. I told my partner to
go on, I would come over here. The
Chinks’ all swore there was no white
girl in the place. I was a little sus-
picious though, and decided to look
around. I was just ready to leave and
I heard some yelling down here, and I
ran down, and then—”

“Oh! Look! Look!” the girl was
screaming.

The air was full of slippered feet, of
baggy'trousers, of loose blouses, of
yellow faces, of long knives—all drop-
ping from a hole in the ceiling.

A tall fellow with a knife that look-
ed a yard long, came screeching at-H'al-
liday, who grabbed up his sword and
'backed into a corner.

The yellow man stopped, just out of
range of the sword and crouched, all
ready for a spring.

Fascinated, Halliday watched the
narrowed eyes, and the horrible knife,
creeping closer, inch by inch. He was
powerless tb move.

Crack-

The yellow head jerked to one side.
Like tissue paper the body crumpled—
a jagged hole in the head.

Halliday looked about the smoke-
filled room. On the floor lay bodies.
Two yellow faces dropped from the
ceiling and rushed at the officer,

Crack-

Neither stopped.

Snap!

An empty shell. The officer hurled,
with all his might, the now useless pis~
to]. It struck the foremost one in the
mouth, square. With an awful yell
the fellow dropped, and lay writhing—
his face one bloody mass.

Halliday turned, instinctively,
dodged a long sweeping slash.

Halliday raised his sword. .

The yello ’ man, over-balanced,
pitched—the heavy sword came down
with all the strength of the country

and

boy’s arms—the blood spurted high in

his face.

Yelling, Halliday rushed at tvio more
who had just struck the floor. He
swung at the nearest. The fellow leap-
ed back. I ~

At the same instant there came echo-
-ing blows on the door—hoarse yells—
then a killing pain in his shoulder. He
swung half-way around, and saw the
officer, back to the wall, fighting three
yellow men—and then blackness.

When‘Halliday opened his eyes she!
was holding his head. _

Later in the day the officer came to
see him.

“You’re all, right, Halliday; you've
the stuff in you. But she saved us.
The Chinaman knifed you in the shoul-
der. Three of ’em had me cornered——

Just a year ago Mr. W. Buck of Berien

which had run more than 21,000 miles on a
heavy seven-passenger Kissel Kar. His testi-

tractors may e all right for
plowing but they will not do for
threshing. Torunathresheryou

get the right power for threshing
when you get the

Nichols-Shepard
oil-Gas Tractor

It is designed as a power plant
for threshing. It works like a
steam engine when attached to
the thresher.

It has two cylinders with a strong
main shaft and a heavy flywheel which
stores the sewer to pull through those
unexpecte verloads. It has a strong.
sturdy frame with enou hweight to
hold it in place. It burns erosene and
distillate and Is aseconomicai as a gas
engine can be made.

It is also a good power plant for
plowing and other heavy farm work.

At the annual meeting of the Manis-
tee County Farm Bureau, it was decid-
ed that boys and girls have the right
to belong to the County Farm Bureau
and be a part of it. Boys’ and Girls’
Club members in Manistee county
therefore, have the opportunity of com-
ing in direct touch with the County
Farm Bureau, of which they will‘be
the members a few years hence.

Washtenaw County Farm Bureau, rec-

Bureau, pays the expenses of its coun-
ty club leader, Mr. E. F..Lyons,’to the
Monthly Training Schools for Club
Leaders, conducted by the Boys’ and
Girls' Club Department of the Agricul-

be followed by farm bureaus of other

is employed.

Mr. Clayton R. Garlock, Assistant
County Club Leader of Bay County, is
the author of some very usable garden
club lessons to be-used by the mem-
bers of Boys’ and Girls’ garden clubs
in Bay county. ,

Club members and club leaders from
Menominee county, Wayne county and
Iron county, are the authors of a large
"number of club songs and club yells
used in connection with club work in
their particular counties.

The Lake Odessa Hot-lunch Club has
completed its project and has been dis-
continued for the rest of the year. Dur-
ing the twelve weeks in which the club
carried on its Work one thousand six
hundred and sixty-eight hot dinners
were served to club members and oth-V
ers. The club is planning to continue
its work next winter and a four-burner
oil stove has been purchased for next
year’s work.

The Best Teacher I Ever Had.
The best teacher I ever had was the
one who taught me when I was in the
eighth grade.

She was a well educated teacher and

as the regular subjects.

She always kept good order and the
children were ready and willing to
obey her.

The year before I went to her I
didn’t take any interest in my studies,
but when I started to school to her,
everything seemed easy and I . could
understand things better.

She was always very polite and kind

thing for her‘ she asked you in a nice
way.

Anything you didn’t understand she,
would readily explain. '

She took an interest in the scholars

 

and wanted them to pass :and‘tried to

taught cleanliness and honesty as well.

JUNE AND A BOY.

BY L. w. SNELL. -
The old world wakes from its winter’s

nap
And the tree veins pulse with the
sweetening sap,
Seems as if all nature held out her lap,
Just for June and a Boy.

The sun shines clear and the clouds
float by
In a lazy race cross an azure sky,
And the shade gets thick where the
grass grows high,
All for June and a Boy.

The song of the lark and the oriole,
The willows down by the swimming
hole,
The angleworm and the fishing pole,
Gladden June and a Boy.
The marbles round and the soaring
to,
The whippoor-will and the stars at
night,
A sunburned cheek and an appetite,
June’s gift to a Boy.

‘m‘ake them see that they should be

present every day and if they could
find anything elsewhere pertaining to
their lessons she wanted them to
find it.

We had current event 'notes which
were happenings and events of the
great war,'and then lots of civil gov-
ernment mixed in with it. In this way
we. learned many good ideas and an-
swers to questions we otherwise would
not have gotten from our books.

She was never shy in company, al-
though she wasn’t rude, she knew just
how to treat everyone and everyone
liked hon—Audrey Wood, Hope, Mich.

Club work is one of the big things in
our state. It is going to do much to-
ward eradicating the Bolshevist spirit
in the generation to come.” A super-
intendent of schools in one of the larg-
est cities in Michigan made the follow-
ing statement recently while address-
ing a round-table of shperintendents of
high schools: “There is no phase of_
educational work which is meeting
the actual needs of boys and girls and
in giving to them the training which
they should have, th‘ is Boys’ and

"HONORABLE MENTION.
The Best Teacher I Ever Had.

I think that the best teacher I ever
had is the one who is teaching my
school now. Her name is Vesta En-
ya1'.,t

During school hours the children are
kept in behavior, although she is not
above laughing If there is a good rea-
son behind it. For example, one day
the class which was just learning to
add and subtract, was reciting; Miss
Enyart asked them, (a little boy and

‘girl was the class), “If you had twelve

apples and ate two, how many would
you have. '1‘”
' Soon the little boy raised his- hand.

‘As she nodded to him he said, “Ten."

“How did you get that answer?”
“Fingers and legs,” was the reply.
Who Wouldn’t laugh?

Although she has no very strict rules
she expects everyone to obey those
which she does make. The examina-
tions which she gives us are fair and
cover something which we have stud:
ied. If we are going to have a very
hard lesson, she gives us more time to

, prepare it. When we recite she gives

each the same chance of proving
whether we have our lesson or not.

' In the morning she reads to us, or
We sing for about fifteen minutes.

Out of school hours she talks and
laughs with us. Very often, if we are
playing a game, she will join us. She
seems to be just a friend of ours out'

HE farm woman is only partially

alive physically, mentally and

spiritually. She 'has to work
hard, away beyond her strength and
against her better judgment. She has
no leisure during \pregnancy, no con—
veniences with which to work, no lux-
uries, no social outlook and no read-
ing.”

I am mighty glad it was one of the
aforesaid farm women who said that.
If I dared so much as hint at any'such
thing regarding even the most isolated
and overworked group of farm women
in America I should be lambasted with
verbal cudgels from every section of
the state. And I am not going to tell
you who the farm woman was that
took her life in her hands and got right
up in meeting and spoke her mind,
lest she meet a similar fate.

That her words are all too true re-
garding some of theyl’arm women of
Michigan, every honest person who
knows state-wide conditions will admit.
And if they are true only of one or
two women they show a state of things
which is fundamentally wrong and
should be righted.

We are accustomed to thinking of
Michigan as well up in the list of pros-
perous agricultural states. But we for-
get that Michigan soil is rather diversi-
fied. We who live in the fertile south-
ern counties either forget or will not
admit that to the north of us are acres
and acres of cut-over pine lands where
the sand is not so nicely calculated to
produce large-yields as is the land we
are lucky enough to own. But the fact
still exists, and these small barren
farms are inhabited by people, lured
there all too often from other states by
the glowing literature of land sharks.
In many cases the land might be made

OES the compulsory school attend-

ance law protect children from
heavy work and long hours in the
fields? There are interested and vig-
orous school officers who do their best
to enforce the law; but even at best
the period of attendance required is
meager. There is always a loophole
through which children may be piped
to work.

In ten states the period of attend-
ance is below five months. In Alabama
children must attend school for eighty
days and even this short term may be
reduced to sixty days; in Florida the
attendance required is eighty days; in
Georgia four months; in Mississippi
sixty days, but the school board may
reduce this to forty days; in North
Carolina four months; in South Card
lina four months in agricultural dis-
tricts for child laborers; in Tennessee
outside of 'cities of five thousand schol-
astic'population eighty days, or entire
session if this is less than eighty days;
in Texas one hundred days or entire
session it less than one hundred days;
in Utah outside of first and second
class cities twenty weeks; in Virginia
sixteen weeks. Delaware has a requir-
ed attendance of five months which
may be changed by vote to three.

A few states definitely require at-

 

tendance for less than the entire has the

to give fair returns if it was properly
handled. But fertilizers ‘cost money
and all too' often the money is not
there.

But the families are there. all too
often because they haven’t the money
to get out. And life for them is one
continual grind with not even the re-
ward of a living, if I may quote the
farm woman again. What can we do
to help them? They need help, need
it badly and at once, for their own
sakes and for ours. For it is in pov-
erty and discontent that bolshevism is
bred.

“Sympathetic understanding is one
of their great needs,” says the woman
who is being quoted. Sympathetic un-
derstanding is all right so 'far as it
goes. But it doesn’t go very far when
you are dead tired, tired to the point
of being only half 'alive. It doesn’t help
make your work lighter nor sclve the
question of how the children are to be
fed and clothed and educated. We
want practical suggestions. '

Reading might help them in a way.
Many an indifferent farmer has got an
idea from a stray bulletin which Chang.
ed his entire methods of farming and
made him well-to-do. These people have
no reading matter, we are told. One
county has solved that problem by
making arrangements with the city
library to send books out into the dif-
ferent centers, the books to remain
for a limited time and then be return-
ed to pass on to another center..

I do not know what books the librar<
ian selects, but I hope she makes it a
point topinclude for the women the lat-
est knowledge about care during preg-
nancy and confinement, and all she
can find on the proper care and treat-
ment of children. Not simply babies,

sion and even where attendance dur-
ing the entire session is required there
is often no assurance that it will be
long enough to enable the child to get
adequate schooling. Fourteen states
‘will excuse a child from school solely
for “satisfactory,” “sufficient,” or “ur-
gent” reasons, for “domestic neces-
sity,” or “forcause.” Two of these
states specify that the “urgent rea-

be the salvation of the women who are
now too tried from overwork tg be
really alive.
The men, too, should be given some-
thing which will help them to make
the most lot what they have. If the
soil of their farms can give them a liv-
ing when rightly handled, let’s tell
them how to take care of it. Suggest
the crops best suited to it and advise
them in every way possible.

of paper and three cents for a stamp
may get a bulletin by writing to the 2
Department of Agriculture in Wash-
ington, D. C. And those bulletins tell
you how to do everything under the » ‘1
sun. I can not think of a thing per-
taining to farming or housekeeping
that hasn’t a bulletin compiled by one
of our Uncle Sam’s experts to tell us
just how to do it right. They are yours
for the asking. A very few cost five
cents, but I have never written and
asked for one that had to be paid for.
To my mind the best way to help
people is to show them how to help
themselves. And nothing will show .us
more quickly than reading. We often
say of certain individuals that their'
brains never save their heels. Here is

the wholesomeness of much, in farm
life. But we have learned that it is
not wise to take it for granted that all
country life in America makes a child .
happy and healthy. It must be admit- - ’

W 1TH Germany disposed of, our
thoughts can again turn to the
at-home problem of disposing of that
eyer present menace—the fly.

The swatter——-to be sure, no house is
home without a-fly swatter and a baby
and where there’s a baby there ought
to be two swatters, one for father and
the other for mother to use.

Poison—any kind and all kinds, but
it should be kept high enough to be
well out of the reach of children and
domestic animals. If insect powder is
used be careful not to scatter itabout
the room and. then close the doors.
fOrgetting Dickie the canary. Birds
are very susceptible to anything that
shuts'off. their supply of pure air.

Tanglefoot—plehty of it. Hang the
kind “that comes 'in runs from the gas
jet and “if sister runs against it and
carries the ball off attached to her
backhair, never mind. You are wag-
ing a great war, and ‘who can stop to
think of trifles. The kitten may wrap
herself in it, to her tenor, and father
may sit on the sheet you have laid, for
just a" moment, in his favorite chair,
but it catches flies as well, and that is
the real issue. '

Eormaldehyde—that is perhaps best
of all. In an old saucer put a mixture
composed of ten parts .of formalde-
hyde, eighty-eight parts of water and
two parts of sugar in the center of the
dish put a small sponge and set where
it will not be disturbed. The flies drink
the mixture and die almost immediate—
ly. With this as with all other poisons
be very careful to keep well out of the
1each of domestic animals, children
and careless people. It’s the fly you

. are after.

 

HOW, TO HANG PICTURES.

 

Hang large pictures with two wires
and two hooks. Small sizes need a
single wire run from center of picture
to hook at moulding, or may be fast
ened with push tacks.

Let pictu1e rest flat against wall,
by attaching wire near top of frame
instead of one-third the way down.

Hang about on eye level, usually
with lower edges on a line.

Don’t hang too many. One medium-
sized picture to a wall space is enough.

Large pictures in heavy frames

’ should not be hung in the house of or-

dinary size.
Don't hang on figured wall paper, it
detracts from effect of picture.

Hang similar pictures together, for "

example, a water color doesn’t look
well next to a photographic print.

Dark pictures are better hung in
den ker parts of the room.

were sick it was found that the
birds were peeking out kernels

" of spoiled corn from the. floor of the

crib. Kernels which were green with
mould were eaten by the hens and

- some of them died. The mortality rate

among farm poultry flocks can be re-
duced by keeping the farm as free as
possible from m'ouldy grain and spoil-
ed material of any kind. -

A poultrymaTn carefully swept down
the walls of a poultry house Which had
been whitewashed with lime and then
placed young chicks in the house with-
out placing any litter on the floor. The
chicks ate some of the white bits that
scaled from the wall and some of them
died. It always pays to keep young
chicks where they have no access to
foreign material that may cause injury
and then give them plenty of straw or
clover litter to keep them busily
scratching.

A‘s coal is becoming quite expensive
we have changed two coal burning
brooders to oil burners by simply pur-
chasing the small heaters and using
them under the deflectors that came

‘ N a farm where some of the hens

    

When they should be layingeggs., 0f-
ten incubators and old hens can both
be used to advantage. Then carefully
watch the breeders and try to keep
the broader chicks looking as sleek
and growing as rapidly -_as the hen-
ha-tched andbrooded chicks. Usually
the hen-hatched and brooded stock will
look a» little more glossy because of
the oil which they receive from the
feathers ”of the old hen. However it is
remarkable how much good work with
poultry can be done with artificial
brooding if the poultryman uses mod-
ern methods and stays very close to
the job at all times.

Bare poultry yards increase the cost
of raising poultry and on the farm the
conditions can be made ideal for the
range flock by giving them‘ plenty of
clover pasture. Green food acts as a
regulator for young chicks and the
mortality rate is reduced ,when they
have an abundance of it in the ration.

Old hens in brood coops need plenty
of green food during the hot weather
and it pays to pull fresih clover and
throw a handful into each brood coop
every day if possible, and at least

 

 

with the coal burning equipment.
These oil burners keep an even heat
and require less attention than the coal
stoves and they are more economical
to operate. The flow of oil can be reg-
ulated very accurately and the amount
of heat controlled so thatno more oil
will _be burned than is necessary to
keep the chicks comfortable.

Late hatching of chicks is not usu-
ally considered as profitable as' early
hatching but in some sections it has
been a cold and backward spring and
it has been difl‘icult to raise the usual
number of early hatched-birds. In
such cases it pays to hatch in June.
The fine weather is then almost a sure
thing and the chicks can enjoy free
range and they are not much handicap-
ped by cold winds and rains as in
April and early May of this year.

When feeding sour milk to chicks it
is necessary to keep the dishes clean
by frequent scalding. In this connec-
tion it pays to note one of the advan-
tages of the artificial brooding of large
flocks. A brooder in a colony house
will care for two hundred chicks and
one or two sanitary feeders Will fur-

nish sour milk to the entire flock. That?

means only two dishes to scald. It
will take‘ fifteen or tWenty hens to
brood two hundred chicks _ and this

means fifteen or twenty dishes of sour.

milk andeach dish will need frequent
cleaning and if the old hens can reach
the dishes and the chicks walk through
them, they will soon spoil the sour
milk.

Most poultrymen are willing to ad-

imit that there is nothing as good as
the old hen for rearing chicks but the.

inbubator and .brooder make the pro-
duction of large flocks possible With“;
out taking up the time of the hens

 

 

 

Hens Need Plenty of Green Feed During the Summer.

three or four times a wek. The old
hens 'will then call the chicks to the

feast and in that way teach them to '

eat more green food than they will eat
if left to learn for themselves.

If the brood coops are on board
floors i'covered'with earth, the earth
should be changed about once each
week. The dirt removed makes fine
fertilizer for the garden and the clean
soil replaced improves the living con-
ditions for both the old hens and the
chicks. _During the summer it is best
to occasionally spray the inside of the
brood coops to keep down the mites.
Painting the inside of the coops with

kerosene oil will be satisfactory. If
a hen is protected from lice with blue

ointment it seems to protect the chicks
at the same time.

As soon as the early hatched chicks
are feathered out and weaned they can
be managed more easily if they roost
in colony houses at night. It is often
difficult to make them leave their
small brood coops but if they are fast-
ened‘ in the colony house 'for about .two
days and the brood coops are removed
most of the chicks will soon learn
where to spend the night. When they
roost on the floor it means overcrowd-
ing and a danger of the floor becoming
infested with mites so it pays to teach
them to roost as soon as they show an
inclination to hunt for a perch at
night. Then the roasts can be painted
with kerosene oil and the birds will
have no trouble from mites. Too early
roosting is considered a cause of
cracked breasts but if the birds are
from vigorous stock and they are well

fed, very few of them will develop this"

trouble.

chicks than to close eight or ten brood
coéps. When the chicks are ‘in the
colony houses they are more. protected
from storms and thieves of all kinds.
On 'rainy days. the colony house chicks
have a warm place to stay and there is
plenty - of chance to serve them with
clean rations, both in hoppers and in
the litter. When the days are rainy it
is difficult to give chicks, in brood ecops
good care, as the floors of the coops
become more onless muddy and there
is5 no scratching place where the grain
can be scattered. .

Keep plenty of fresh water before
the growing stock at all times. Note
the thirst of a house full of broilers
after they have been denied water for
a few hours. It proves that their sys-
tems needed water and their owner
lost poultry money by feeding a thirsty
flock. Clean water is the cheapest
element in the poultry ration and
should never be neglected.

 

SMALL LEGHORN EGGS.

 

Can you tell me why my one and

'two-year-old Leghorns lay eggs about

the size of a robin egg? They are fed
oats, barley and corn on free range,
plenty of water, grit and oyster shell,
and look fine and fat. I can find no
lice or mites in the coop. Mrs. B. M.

The laying of dwarf eggs is more

“prevalent in the spring and early sum-

mer than at any other time. It seems
to be caused by certain disturbances in
the functions of reproduction. It is
not unusual to find some of these
dwarf eggs in the best managed poul-
try houses, especially in- the spring
when the birds are laying heavily. If a
large proportion of the birds are con-
tinually laying dwarf eggs, it would
naturally be an unprofitable flock and
the bird's would be better marketed. If
only a few hens are laying dwarf eggs
they might be located with the trap
nest, and if it continues such birds
should be'sold as meat. Often a hen
that lays a dwarf egg will be a good
layer and will have produced a. large
number of normal eggs, both before
and after the production of the dwarf.
If a large number of the birds produce
dwarf eggs it will be best not to use
any of their eggs for hatching but ob-
tain eggs from vigorous bred-to-lay
flocks and' thus obtain an abundance
of new blood for the home poultry
flock. R. G. Ii.

HONEY BEES AND SPRAYED
FRUIT races.

ACH spring there is considerable

discussion among practical fruit
growers, many of whom also keep bees,
regarding the possibility of poisoning
the honey bee with spray preparations.
From general practice it is safe to say
orchards sprayed as they should be for
controlling fruit insects will in no way
injure bees .which may visit the or-
chard. The bee comes for pollen and

nectar and these two products are.

found in the blossoms only at the time
when the individual blossoms are
ready to be pollenated, andthis occurs
when the blossom is out in full. Fruit
should not be sprayed when in blossom
and no fruit grower who understands
his business will spray in full blos-
som. The bee, therefore, accomplish-
es his work of cross—pollenation in the
orchard and carries home the fruits of
his labor, pollen and nectar, before the

orchard is sprayed. -
0n the other band, should a fruit
grower make the mistake of spraying
when the trees are in full bloom,if he
uses arsenate of lead as a. poison for
apple worms and chewing insects, conic
bined with sulphur solution for com
trolling fruit diseases. the bees will be
driven from the blossoms by-the foul
odor of the lime sulphur. If the' entire
orchard is treated inthie way and no
other flowers are available there might

‘ A PROFI'EABLE SIDE LINE FOR
FARMERS.

 

A SIDE issue which can bedevelop-
ed much more than it is, is the
huckleberry swamp. Generally the
owner pays little or no attention to
his swamp, regarding it as waste land
and accepting the rather meager small
amount it generally does pay him in
much the same manner as one who
finds money. If it pays him anything,
he’s glad—if it produces nothing he’s
not very much disappointed. This is
all wrong. The huckleberry swamp
should be regarded just as the corn or
wheat field is and shduld earn its
quota of the farm profits.

First of all, land upon which huck-
leberries grow is not very good land
and probably the most profitable thing
you can produce on it are the buckle-
berries themselves. Therefore every-
thing that promotes their growth
should be done. With a little care and
business management the swamp can
be made to pay well, provided it has
a fair number of healthy bushes.

One ninety-acre farm in Michigan
consists of forty acres of huckleberry
swamp and fifty acres of upland and
the owner has often said that he Wish-
ed the whole farm was swamp, for his
forty acres of huckleberries earns him
more than his fifty acres of upland.
And the upland is good gravelly loam
soil, too. He runs his swamp on busi-
ness principles. He does not allow any-
one and everyone to run into the
swamp indiscriminately and pick free
of charge. He rightly considers it as
a part of his capital and has all pickers
come to his house and notify him that
they intend going into the swamp. In
this way he keeps track of who has
entered the swamp and discourages a
tendency of the few to leave via the
back end of the farm without paying
for their berries. The pickers return
to his house with their berries, where
they are measured and paid for at the
rate of five cents per quart. People
come from far and near and during
July when the berries are ripe he meas-
ures thousands of quarts each picking
day and his collections run as high as
$100 per day. This measuring is not
so formidable as it sounds for most
people pick in pails and all he has to
do is to and up the number of pails a.
picker has. For instance, if’ a picker
comes up with a twelve-quart pail and
a ten-quart pail both filled he knows at
a glance that the total is twenty-two
quarts, price one dollar ten. Twice a
week—Tuesdays and “Fridays—he al-
lows pickers in the swamp. This gives
the green berries a chance to ripen
and insures the largest returns from
the swamp.

While the swamp. requires but little
attention, thetlittle it does need should
be given it. All trees are cut down,
and also high bushes. Trees and high
bushes afford some protection from the
frost but they also sap the ground and
shade the huckleberries, eventually
killing out all the berry bushes around
them. All blackberry brush around
the swamp's edge should be cut dOWn
for this is an enemy both to huckleber-
ries and pickers. A good path should
be made to the center of the swamp to
afford easy access to all parts of it.
The ditch draining the marsh has a
small dam in it by which the Water Can
be regulated. Ordinarily the swamp is
kept wet until the berries are ready to
be picked—then it is drained. Gates
are provided in all fences between the
house and the swamp for the conven-
ience of the pickers. .

There are thousands of huckleberry
marshes throughout the country and
if the owners will apply’a few business
principles and give them the little care
they require they will pay handsome
dividends._ ‘.C. H., SMITH.

results were studied. Never in theme-
tery of the great city had so many bab-
ies’ lives been saved, nor had so few
babies died. The newspapers of the
city rang with the praises of the
doctor.

The doctor’s investigations prove
conclusively that while : sanitary stab-

being of the cow, as well as to the
esthetic satisfaCtion of the owner, yet,
by itself it is no guarantee of pure-
milk production. To prove this state-
ment let us trace the usual operation
of milking the cow and handling the
milk. We will assume that the out-
ward conditions are perfect.

The milker enters the barn. He has
nnot changed his clothes since he brush-
ed his horses, cleaned the stables' or
did other work about the barns. .He
carries two wide-mouthed milk pails.
He may, if. he desires to be careful,
bring a little tepid water to wash the
cow’s udder. After pouring out this
water, he stands that pail in the alley-
way and proceeds to milk into the oth-
er, which rests upon the dirty floor.
Having filled this first pail he exchang-
es it for the other, and proceeds with
the milking. Meanwhile the milk in
the first pail is absorbing dust, stable
odors, bacteria and flies. Having filled
his second pail, Ihe milker leisurely
carries both to the milk house or to
the cans which stand at the end of the
alleyway or just outside of the stable
door. When he pours the milk into
the can one hand touches the bottom
of the pail that stood on the floOr of
the stable. He overlooks this, unless
the. result is too obvious, takes his
pails and goesrback to repeat the per~
formance. It is very plain to see that
the most perfect stable sanitation is of
littlevavail with such slovenly methods
practiced. .

The following rules for producing
clean milk are laid down by Doctor
Charles E. North, the man who has
made such a successproducing clean
milk at Homer, New York, for the bab-
ies of New York City. These rules
will apply with equal force to any oth-
er dairyi‘ng community where the ob-
ject of the farmers is to produce clean
milk. All of these things may be re-~
solved into‘ one word—cleanliness—in
the cow, in the milker, in the utensils,
in the stables. That is the whole situ-
ation in a nutshell. None or these
'things are expensive, except the ice.

1. Brush the udder'and wipe with a
clean cloth; wash with clean water
and dry with- a clean towel.

2. Milkers should wash their hands
with soap and Water and dry with a.
clean towel. ;' '

3. Whitewash the cow stable at least
twice yearly. ‘

4. Feed no dusty feed until after the
milking.

5. Remove all manure from cow sta-
ble twice daily.

6 Keep barnyard clean and have the
manure pile at least one hundred feet
from the stable.

7. Have all stable floors of cement,
properly drained.

8. Have abundant windows in cow-
stables to permit sunlight to reach the
floor. ,

9. Arrange a proper system of ven-
tilation. ._

10. Do not use milk from any cows
suspected of garget or of any udder in-
flammation. Such milk contains enor—
mous numbers of bacteria.

11. Brush and groom the cows from
head to foot as horses are groomed.

12. Use no dusty bedding; wood
shavings ' or sawdust give the least
dust.

13. Use an abundance of ice in wa-
ter tank for cooling milk.

    
    
    
  
  
   
 
  
  
  
   
   
       
      

 

 


 
  

 

CATTLE e‘nices DECLINE.

 

OR a long period fat cattle of. su-
F perior quality pursued an upward
course in prices, with frequent new
high recdrds, and it really seemed as
though there was no limit to the ad-
Vance.' In recent 'weeks, however, con-
ditions have been changed‘ radically,
‘ and highly sensational declines in val-
ues have taken place until cattle are
selling on the Chicago market at from
$2.00 to $4.00 per- hundred pounds be-
low the highest time of the present
year. Much the greatest reactionnhas
been made for prices onthe better
class of cattle with heavy steers catch-~
ing the full force of the decline the
sWitching over in the d_emand from
heavy to fat light cattle" being earlier
than usual Light and heavy cattle are
selling much closer together than they
did a month or so ago and most of the
time there are no ‘prime beeves on the
market so that quotations are no more
than nominal. In every important cat-
tle feeding district there is a strong
desire to get holdings marketed as
quickly as possible and so long as this
is kept up there will be a slim chance
for higher prices. _Many cattle feed-
ing districts report unfavorable condi-
tions for retaining stock, as corn has
to be brought in from elsewhere, while
roughage is scarce. Heavy shipments
are taking place of cattle'from the vast
territory lying west of the Missouri
river, that region being long on beef,
and in numerous instances owners are
facing losses of from $50 to $60 a head
the cattle having been purchasedsome
months ago at high prices. as their
buyers counted upon a continuance of
the high prices then paid for finished
beeves. Looking ahead, it is certain
that the only chance for a recovery
in prices is to ship stock to market
more conservatively. The government
is no longer a buyer of beef. and con-
ditions in Europe are too unsettled to
permit of a large export trade.

 

TALKS WITH STOCKM EN.

 

REPORTS from Washington say the
sheep and yearlings are fat and
ready to be marketed, this being very
early for such shipments. Most of the
Colorado wooled lambs are now mar-
ketbd, and markets have to rely on
clipped flocks of lambs and increasing
supplies of spring lambs from Califor-
nia and the south. The southern crop
of spring lambs is said to be twenty
per cent larger than last year. Farm-
ers are going into the sheep industry
in numerous parts of the country, and
high-grade breeders are, in demand.
Stockmen living in parts of the coun-
try where land is extremely high pric-
ed are in increasing numbers discover-
ing that it is more economical to buy
feeder pigs from other farmers or from
the nearest market than to breed hogs
themselves. Reed is dear, and many
farms are valued at $250 per acre or
more. If brood sows are carried
through the winter it is necessary to
have well constructed hog houses, and
they must be fed on high-priced corn.
Then both sows and pigs must be giv-
‘en good clover pasturage for the sum-
mer, and this counts up on high-priced
land. An Illinois stockman finds in
counting up the shoats weighing 100
pounds 'by the first of September that
their cost is much larger than if they
were bought as stock pigs on market.

SECOND EDITION;

 

The markets in this edition were re-
vised and corrected on Thursday af-
ternoon, June 5. ~

WHEAT. .

Wheat prices hold steady at the low-

er levels reached last week. The local
market is firm and quiet with on1y_a
small amount of business being done in
flour, but a more active trade in mill
feeds. The Oklahoma June crop re-
.port makes the condition of Winter
wheat in that state 92, as against 95 a
“month ago, and 73 for the'correspond—
ing month of 1918. Generally-speak-
ing, the crop over the country ls little
changed, and former estimates are
more strongly insured as the date for
harvesting approaches. One year ago
No. 2'red wheat sold on the local mar—
ket at $2.17 per bushel. Present De-
troit prices are:

 

No. 2 red .............. $2.55
No. 2 mixed ............ 2.53
No. 2 white . ........... 2.53

CORN.

Favorable corn weather and a lack
of demand forced prices to lower bas—
is last week. Early this week, how-
'ever, manufacturers were in the mar-
ket for supplies and the trade took on

. a decidedly bullish tone, due largely to
the small stocks of available grain.
When the recent high prices failed to
move the corn from the farms and
country elevators, dealers became
more convinced that the supplies at
producing points were less than had
been estimated. Planting the new crop
is being completed under very favor
able conditions. The warm weather is
giving the plants a splendid start. One
year ago No. 3 corn was quoted on the
local market at $1.40 per bushel. The
present prices at Detroit are:

No. 3 corn ............. $1.80
No. 3 yellow ............ 1.83
No. 4 yellow ............ 1.80
No. 5 yellow ............ 1.77
No. 3 white ............. 1.85

Rivalry for supplies is not so keen
and a slightly easier feeling exists.
Present prices at Chicago are: No. 3
yellow $17494; July $1.70%; Septem-

ber $1.611,§.
OATS.

On Wednesday 1,000,000 bushels of
oats were reported to have been taken
for export; steady demand with deliv-
eries limited. The new crop is pro—
gressing under favorable weather con-

. ditions. One year ago standard oats
were quoted on the local market at 750
per bushel. Present price in Chicago
for that grade is 691/3@7014c, and for
No. 3 white 68%{0691/30. Detroit quo.

' tations are: . 1

Standard .................. 73
'No. 3 white ...... .. ....... 72%
No. 4 white ....... . . . ..... 711/3

RYE.

' Rye advanced over two cents on
Monday’s Chicago market. The local
market. is doing a very limited volume
of business with the quotation advanc-
ed to $1.52 per bushel.

BARLEY.

There is practically nothing doing
in this grain on the Detroit market.
At Chicago quotations were marked up
three cents on Monday, partly in sym-
pathy with the upward trend in prices
for other grains.

SEEDS.

The market continues firm with the
quotations for October delivery quoted
at 50c. Detroit prices are: Prime red
clover $27; October $21.50; timothy at
$5.50. At Toledo October is quoted at

$21.60. .

GRAND RAPIDS

Reports from correspondents in
many sections of western Michigan
fruit belt the past week show the
“blow” to have been 90 per cent full.
Based on this estimate, and the trees
are well sprayed, the cr0p will be the
largest in many years. Curl leaf has
appeared in a few peach orchards but
just how much it will affect the crop
is a problem. The freeze during the
early Cherry “blow” did very little
damage. Potatoes sold higher at $1.20
@130 per bushel on the city market
the past week. At a few points in
western Michigan they were a shade
higher.‘ Movement at all points is
light. There was no change in‘the
price of beans $6 per cwt. to the farm-
er, the past week and what little hay
was marketed sold at $38@40 per ton
according to the quality. Local mar-

ket for green hides is 50 per cent high-

er than a year ago. ~

there has been a_ movement on the
part. of owners to let their hogs go "to
market as rapidly as possible, this be-
ing interrupted by corn planting and
other spring farm work and by de-
clines in prices, owners hoping for a
reaction. It is now thought that the
former high prices will not be restor-
ed, the prevailing opinion being that
the yearly break in summer prices is
a little ahead of time. The hog crop
was a fine large one, and up to a late
date the 1919 receipts in eleven lead—
ing markets aggregated 14,612,000 hogs
showing an increase of 455,000 head
over the reCeipts for the correspond-
ing time last year.“ Recent Chicago re-
ceipts averaged in weight 231 pounds,
being five pounds lighter than a year
ago and two pounds less than the av-
erage weight for the corresponding
weeks during the past eight years. The
eastern shippers have made larger pur-
. chases in the Chicago market but their

tionately with the larger supplies 0%

Butter.—Receipts of butter are run-
ning very much above normal for this
season of the year and all indications
point toward a marked increase in pro-
duction throughout the summer. May
of this year shows an increase in pro-
duction of over twenty-five per cent
over that of May, 1918. During the
week there has been absolutely no ex-
port demand and speculators were busy
for 0nly_one day. As a. result of the
increased .receipts and the absence of
more than normal buying there has
been a tendency for the price to de-
cline. On last week Saturday the price
broke two cents. That was followed
by declines of half a cent on both Moni
day and Tuesday but Wednesday, how-
ever, because of speculative demand
the price recovered a half cent and on

Thursday there was a further recov—
ery of a half cent.{ Thursday after-
noon witnessed a very weak market
and many receivers were inclined to
shade the price on their butter. Friday
being a holiday there was no business
transacted. Established quotations at
the close Thursday were as follows:
Extras 561/2@57c; higher scoring than

extras 571/4@58c; firsts 55@561/2C;
seconds 52@ 54%, c. .
Cheese—The cheese market has

been somewhat irregular all the week.
However, there has been no marked de-
cline in price as receivers have been
unwilling to sell goods at lower prices,
with few exceptions. On the whole,
there has been very little activity dur-
ing the week, although some full grass
cheese has been purchased by specu-
lators for storage. There has been
some export demand but none of any
material consequence. Reports from
the interior show that warehouse hold-
ings are increasing rapidly. Average
run cheese is quoted at 31%@31%c,
and special at from 14@1/§c higher.

SHERE comes a time in the l1fe of every motor truCk, no
matter how good it is, when some part requires replacement
When that time comes, the necessary part

the man to make the adjustment must be immediately available.
The International organization is unrivaled 1n this respect. '

When these things are to be had, that 15 service. When the

International Motor Trucks-

them has at stake an enviable reputation for

That statement’

the power of the engine into mileage withoutl
