CURRENT COMMENT





HE wise father is





The Farm : thinking a b o u t

making his farm so



and attractive to his boys

The Boy that they will no long-





er be ambitious to

leave the old homestead and cast their

fortunes elsewhere. In several of our

leading agricultural states figures show

that the cityward flow of farm boys

has been reduced to a point where

farm life is beginning to appeal to the

ambitious young men as offering bet-

ter opportunities than the more stren-

uously competitive industrial and com-

mercial life of the city and town.



The farm boy, trained to self-reli-

ance, to the performance of regular

duties and to hard labor, has a tre-

mendous advantage in the world. He

has a sound mind and a strong body.

He realizes that the old farm is a pret-

ty good place to live and the chances

are ten to one that he would prefer to

stay on his father's farm, if the father

can make the farm pay well and plan

the work so that it is interesting and

progressive. It is when the farm be‘

comes unprofitable, unprogressive and

the, work hard and monotonous that





the boys set their faces resolutely away‘





from the farm.





It is a great thing when fathers take

their sons into their confidence and

when the sons tell their fathers all

their hopes and plans, knowing that

they are sure of encouragement and

sympathy. This confidence between

father and son is necessary before the

boys can be brought to understand the

problems of, the farm. The wise father

‘has a set of books, andlets the boy

help keep them. In this way the boy

understands the father’s problems and

is not slow to grasp the situation. If

they have had a bad season he feels

that they have made their sacrifices

together and that together they will

endeavor to make good the losses the

next year. Such cooperation not only

makes the boy’s life more pleasant, but

it maintains a complete confidence and

the boy respects the father the more

for his toll, his sacrifices and his tail.

business and enlist his sympathies and

stead should fall to the boy who had

no ambition to make good elsewhere

and be exploited and managed in a sort

of half-hearted way has been explod-

ed by the son himself, who has in

many cases turned cut much better

than the members of the family who

descended like moths upon‘fhe white

lights of'the city. In the wreckage of

this old theory can be found thou-

sands of perfectly good farmers drag-

ging themselves through the routine of

office and shop work in the city. Of

course, the work they are doing is use-

ful and necessary, but to a man who

understands their prospects are net

glittering. The exiled farm boy who

has failed to make good in the city

can testify» to thetruth of the above

statement. The wise father is taking

his son in hand, and by example is do

ing more to keep him on the farm than

any other agency. This is a sign of

wholesome progress and a rebuke to

the soft-handed gentry who look upon

farmers as sociological specimens.

Prohibition and greatly increase

the profits of grape





growers and apple orchardists. The

immediate effect upon the grape-grow-

ing industry in some localities may be

somewhat depressing, but as soon as

facilities are provided for manufactur-

ing grape juice the rapidly increasing'

demands will take care of all the

.grapes American vineyards can pro-

duce.





For several years the great fruit

juice plants in New York, New Jersey

and Pennsylvania have almost been

begging growers to increase their ton-

nage of grape production. Michigan

and Ohio grape growers have shared

has left them without competition in.

table grapes in the big markets of the

central west. With the coming of pro-

hibition production and consumption

are sure to increase by leaps and

bounds. There is good reason for this:

Grape juice is cheap, healthful and

delicious. There are a number of flav-

ors to choose from to suit the taste of

all. California’s white and honey-sweet

juice made from the Mission grape,>is

on the market along with the dark

juice made from the Concord of the'

east, possessed of a sprightly, foxy

taste. And with any well-known man-

ufacturer’s name on the label of the

bottle the consumer is guranteed that

he is getting a pure juice, naturally

colored and flavored. The manufac‘

turers of grape juice have set a high

standard for manufacturers of other

fruit juices to follow, and it should be

the aim of the government and public

health authorities to knock unscrupu-

lous fruit juice competition galley-

west. ,



Along with the increasing demand

for grape juice there is developing an

equally heavy demand for apple juice.

In the past, during the greater pon

tion of the year, in many sections it

has been impossible to get either ap-

ples or apple juice that was'satisfa'c-

tory. Science“ however, has come to

the rescue and makes at least one of

these obtainable the year around in

this climate. For years, poor, rotten,

immature fruit, unfit for anything eiSe,

has been ground up and pressed and

the liquid thus obtained incorrectly

called cider. With national prohibi-

tion a certainty all fruit should’be sav-

ed, none wasted, for a big profit awaits

every gallon of pure apple juice that

can be made and put on the market.

To apple growers and dealers especial-

1y, opportunity is urging that prepara-

tion be made in time to process apples

by the new profitable way. Apple

growers have never dreamed of the

Every apple tree should bewell-car-

ed for and every grower'encouraged to





increase production to the limit. With





properly improved cider making ma-

chinery one bushel of- apples produces

from four to four and One-half gallons

of cider.~ This is worth more than the

best No. 1 apples have previously sold

for, and can be kept indefinitely in any

climate and you ddn’t have to use cold

storage or use poisonous preservatives.

The process is-easy and: simple; and

you can get away from the'trouble-

College him “god-speed” it is





the fellow who has

completed the course, at the agricul-





' tural college and returned to the old





farm to help put it on a money-making

basis and make it the best place on

earth to live. Agricultural education

is worth its cost. The agricultural col-

lege catches the boys at an age when

ideas of brute strength are predomi-

nant and points out to them the utility

of brains. Any young man can find

employment on a farm by tying his

nose down closely to manual labor at

$50 per month, and not taking time to

think about the real problems of farm-

ing. Agricultural education raises him

above the level of the ordinary worker

and points out to him the way by

which he may by careful and system-

atic application of safe and sound agri-

cultural principles become a prosper-

ous farmer and lay aside a competence

for old age





The value of an agricultural college

education is not always expressed in

terms of dollars and cents. Life is

primarily for living and much of its

succ. ‘3 depends upon what we are get-

ting out of it as we go along. An abil-

ity to think clearly and to command a

reasonable amount of useful knowl-

edge, to appreciate worth and beauty

and in some degree to create things

worthy and beautiful—such things

might be said to express the real value

of an education. Then, there is the

value of the well~posted, educated

farmer to his community. When we

have a few agricultural leaders in each

of our communities, each striving for

community betterment and to trans-

late the lessons learned at college into

fruitful fields, more profitable ,farms

and more pleasant'homes, then will

this land be a really wonderful place

in which to live.





The claim that the agricultural col-

lege does not educate our boys toward

farm life is hardly heard today. It is

being noted everywhere that trained

agricultural men are taking the front

seat in all lines of farm progress. Many

of our best agric ltural leaders have

responded to the c 11 of the land and

abandoned paying positions in order to

own farms and live a life of independ-

ence and satisfaction. These men are

already taking a lead in their'respec-

tive communities and helping to bring

about better things for agriculture and

rural life.

putting on fat, even if you have

to buy corn at a high price in

order to do it,” is the advice of several

successful hog feeders. This is essen-

tially true on farms where cows are

kept, and where it is possible to add

skim-milk to the diet. '

“Hogs that are put on the market

should be grained in addition to “their





K EEP. the fall shoats growing and





summer pasture,” is the advice of one





of the most successful breeders. “Fall

pigs that are being turned on pasture

should be on part feed of corn to keep

them putting on flesh to fit them for

an early market. Too many hogs are

run through the summer on pasture

alone, and then fed out for winter mar-

ket when the price is at the bottom.

The time to get the fall pigs to market

is in the summer or the early fall

when the price is at the top.”





I asked a man who aims to have .





from sixty to'one hundred fall pigs

ready for market, how he planned his

feeding program. “I intend to carry

them through the summer on alfalfa

and about one-half as much corn as

they will eat. To finish them I will

plant six acres of ninety—day corn on

fall plOWing. As soon as this starts to

dent I will turn the hogs into the field

and let them ‘hog down the corn. They

will be in good shape when they go

into the field and will be ready to take

on fat rapidly, and should be ready for

the market by September 15 to Octo-

ber 1..



“I know this is a good way to feed

from my experience of last season,”

explained the farmer. “In April, 1918,

I bought eighty head of October pigs.

I fed them a half-feed of corn and run

them on alfalfa until August 20, when

N haying maChinery there has, of

course, been but little‘cha’nge in

the design of the mower within the





past few years,‘ the sole exception to

this being in the development of large





" eight and ten—foot cut machines for





use with tractors. On the other hand,

the side delivery rake has come in for

more attention. The fork type rake

does not seem to be hblding its own,

and the most modern and efficient rake

at the present time is the left-hand

combined rake and tedder of the cylin-

der type. Other recent additions to

the hay machinery line‘are: A loader

that combines ‘the principles of both

the rake-bar and, the cylinder types,

several self-loading racks and attach-

ments, combined stackers and loaders,

hay Cock loaders, special alfalfa cur-

ing trucks, the pull-off rack, a self-





,feeder hay press, a twine using baler,





and metal stack covers. More partic-

ular mention should be made of the





‘ one-man unloaders and mow chutes

, that enable one man on the load to do





all the unloading without the help of

anyone in the mow, the “chute” serv-





ing to distribute the hay, and there is





also a loader which not only elevates

, utes it the length of the load, and last,

By Ear/e





I turned them into a six-acre field of

ninety-day corn. They weighed one

hundred and ninety pounds eachwhen

they went into the corn, and when I

sold them, September 20 they averaged

two hundred and fifty pounds. Deliv-

ered to market they brought $19 per

hundred pounds. Thus, each acre of

corn, which would make about forty

bushels per acre, made me eight hun-

dred pounds of pork, which at $19 per

hundred, was worth $152.” ‘

Another practical farmer was asked

if he thought it practical or profitable

to feed “$1.50 corn to $18 hogs,” and

replied that he thought so. “I think I

can put two pounds a day on my hogs

until they go. to market, and this





 





W Gage





amount will mean a good profit to me.”



Next door I found a man with two

hundred head of pigs he had picked

up. These will be fed through the

summer in order to have them ready

for the mid-November market. "I in-

tend to crowd these pigs from the start

to the finish. I shall try to keep them

growing during the summer by feed-

ing grain with their pasture. I planted

fifteen acres of early corn which I

shall ‘hog down’ as soon as it starts

to dent. From the time the pigs go

into the corn field until they are ready

for the market they will be on full

feed, and I believe the younger I can

get a hog to market the more profit he

will make me, if I can make him! weigh





 





Pigs Make Remarkable Gains when they Have Access to Rape.





rowing





two hundred and twentyfive— pounds

or more. It takes feed to maintain

the hog that isn’tgrowing; it also

takes about so much to put on the "ex-

tra flesh in addition to growing the

frame, and the sooner I can get the

hog to the proper weight the fewer

days’ maintenance I will have to pay

for.”



The three letters in the successful

pork—maker’s primer, are good blood,

summer pasture, “hogging down” early

corn. The best way for a farmer to

make pork profitably is by starting

with good blood, building a good frame

on the shoats, mainly with legumes or

rape, “hogging down” a field of early

corn, and then finally finishing with a

selfoeeder on shelled corn and tank-

age. In this way early spring pigs

from good blood strains can be made





to weigh from two hundred and fifty ‘





to three hundred pounds in ten months.



One breeder advises that he made

his cheapest gain by letting his shoats

run into a field of new corn, in addi—

tion to giving them access to a self-

feeder with tankage. The next cheap-

est gains he ever made were made

when the hogs ran to a self-feeder con-

taining tankage and corn, and at the

same time had all the good pasture

they wanted. If pasture is not avail-

able, hogs on feed should be given

last-cutting alfalfa.



“Pork cannot be grown profitably

without pasture,” he continued. "If

alfalfa is not available, or if the feeder

is a tenant who cannot sow alfalfa, it

-will pay to sow rape. I have made

tests to learn the value of rape com-

pared with alfalfa for hogs, and I find

there is little difference in the feeding

value.”





and Harvesting Machinery





By Archer P. Wéa/lmz





there will be a small triangular air

space between the bales when stacked,

that the hay may be baled direct from

the windrow with safety.



The grain binder ‘having reached

'such a high degree of perfection can-

not be subject to much change in de-

sign, but its work has been completed

by the invention of the mechanical

grain shocker. There have been many

experimental grain Shockers made. but

only one make is now actively on the





‘market, this being adapted to useiwith





two of the leading makes of binders.

It works best with the six and seven-

foot cut machines. It is, a separate





 

 

 





device mounted on truck wheels and

may be readily attached or detached as

desired. It sets a round shock of

from eight to eleven bundles, each

shock being bound with twine, the

whole operation being under the con-

trol of the driver of the binder. It

might be well in making a selection

of a binder to consider the advisability

of getting one to which a shocker

could be attached, even when the

shocker is not purchased at the same

time. ,

Probably the greatest innovation in

the grain harvesting field is the small

combined harvester-thresher. The large





“combine” as used in California and

other western states is a ponderous

machine that requires the services of

a large tractor or a score or more

horses, and four or five men, and is, of

course, out of the question for use in

the smaller grain fields of the larger

portion of the country. But there are

now several smaller combined harvest-

er-threshers that need only a light

tractor or four horses and two men

for their operation. The use of har-

vest-threshers of all sizes is as yet

confined to dry territories where the

grain may be left to get thoroughly

ripe standing in the field and naturally

threshes easily when cut. How these

small combined harvesters will work

in more humid localities, whether or

not it would be necessary to leave the

grain standing uncut until serious loss

occurred in order to prevent damage

from the heating of the grain threshed

direct from the standing straw, and

the possibility of overcoming this diss

advantage by the artificial drying of





the grain, are questions as yet unan- :





swered.



Midway between the binder and the

harvestenthresher is the stackenhar-

vester, a new machine coming into

use in the Dakotas. This has a cutting

table like that of a binder but has a

longer elevator which carries the grain

up into a stacking cage truck where if

is built into a small stack and then

discharged on the ground. These





small stacks will naturally be placed'i

in a few rows across the field, and the J





field, excepting of c0urse, the narrow

strips on which the stacks are plaCed.

RE the present high prices” prevail-

ing principally in congested cent-

ers due to inadequate freight facilities?

. That this is the case is the conclu-

,. sion reached by the highways trans-

port committee of the National Coun-

‘ . oil of Defense, which is making a study

of the matter and which proposes a

‘ remedy.



The remedy of the committee, brief-

ly stated, is to supplement by auto

truck service the freight facilities of

the large cities, whose existing facili-

ties are found to be inadequate and to

furnish auto truck transportation to

the small cities of states which are

without freight facilities.



The plan of the committee also in-

cludes the establishment of auto truck

facilities between rural communities

and railway centers so that the sur-

plus ”products of all rural communities

can be moved quickly and easily to

the great centers of population.



The highways transport committee

has addressed letters to every mem-

ber of the senate and house informing

them of the deplorable conditions

which exist and asking their interest

and aid in correcting these conditions.



Investigation has shown the increas-

ing seriousness of the lack of trans-

portation facilities in many areas

throughout the country.



i The growth of many communities

has been retarded, it is contended, be

cause of this condition and many com-

munities which in the past had hoped

for railroad transportation now find

that the railroads are unable to extend

their lines. Thousands of tons of food-

stuffs never reach the market, and

lands which have been formerly culti-

vated, have, in many instances, been

abandoned because of the difficulty in

marketing produce. All this results in

the continued high cost of foodstuffs in

the various cities.

sued rules effective May 15, 1919, gov-

erning the handling of exhibits for ex-

positions and fairs whereby live stock

chiefly valuable for breeding, racing,

show purposes and other special uses

will be granted what amounts to a

half rate in making the fair circuit.

This applies to horses, cattle, sheep

and swine.



The rules stipulate that when exhib-

ited at one exposition or fair, and then

returned direct to point of origin, said

live stock will be carried at full tariff

rates going and free returning, if re-

turned within thirty days after the

close of the exposition or fair at which

they are exhibited and the bill of lad-

ing therefor is accompanied by cer-

tificate of the secretary of such exposi-

tion that such articles were exhibited

and have not changed ownership. This

will apply where exhibitors make only

one fair.



Article Must Be Exhibited.



The rules further provide that when

moving over a circuit of expositions or

fairs, the articles will be way-billed

at the regular tariff rate to each point

p of exhibition, and at the close of each

Emir, on presentation of a certificate





 





 

 





.—..y





from the secretary of the fair that

such articles were exhibited thereat





and that no change of ownership has-





occurred, the inbound charges will be

reduced to one-half of the tariff rates,

and when reshipped from the last point

of exhibition to the original point of

shipment via direct routes and the bill

of lading is accompanied by similar

certificate from the secretary of the

last fair or exhibition, one-half of the

tariif rates will be applied on this

final shipment home. This permits all





specified valuations,

pers, particularly horsemen, have had

ing in years gone by.

The “joker” in the rules is the stip-

ulation that the animals will be car-

Army Worms Mobilizmg





HE army worm is out in force



again. Considerable damage has

been reported from central Illinois,

and Missouri and Iowa have also suf-

fered damage this year. Over one hun-

dred acres of rye destroyed in two

days in a single field is the report of

Mr. Miner, of Henderson county, 111.,

and ten acres of young corn were wip-

ed out in a. day in Christian county,

111., recently.



None of the farm crops is immune,

for the worms will eat anything and

everything that is tender and green.

Alfalfa fields have in some cases been

ruined in Missouri, almost over night.

Young corn is attacked, and wheat and

rye' are especial favorites.





What It Looks lee.





Farmers everywhere are being urg-

ed to keep on the lookout for the pest,

that it may be combated before any

too serious damage is done. The army

worm is a small greenish to grayish





caterpillar, found in great numbers

feeding, as a rule, rather near the

ground. Before a particular “army”





gets well started, the most likely plac-

es to find them are in neglected por-

tions of fields where there are rank

growths of wild grass, or lodged and

fallen unripe grain, says Arthur Lum-

brick, Vermillion county, (111.), agent.



After the host of worms gets really

started, no one will have any difficulty

in telling where it has been or what

they are. Fields are stripped bare by

the millibns of worms, after which the

whole mass migrates to an adjoming

field.



Its habits permit of two ways of

getting after it, and county agents are

urging that both be used. When the

worm is first discovered, and while it

is scattered all over a field, not migrat-

ing, poison is the best means of at‘

tacking it.



Effective Poison Bait.





The same kind of poison bait may

be used for it as for grasshoppers, ac-

cording to the University of Missouri

experts. Mix fifty pounds of bran and

two pounds of white arsenic (arsenate

of lead) dry. Then moisten the mix-

ture with a solution containing four

quarts of blackstrap molasses, the

juice and chopped up pulp and rinds

of a dozen lemons or oranges, and

about eight gallons of water. .



This mash should be just wet

enough so that a few drops will

squeeze out from a handful. It should

be sown broadcast in fields where the





worms are feeding, or planted in strips '





where the worms are-migrating: The





sowing may be done from horseback,

or from a wagon, whichever is'most

convenient.



The best time to put the mash

around is in the evening, as the worms

do most of their feeding at night, and

the mash will notdry out too much

before they can eat’it. They will “fall

for" a mixture such as thisno matter

what they are feeding on, but there

are certain precautions to be observed.



All farm stock must be kept away

from areas where the poison has been

sowed, according to Sidney B. Smith,

county agent of Macon county, Illinois.

If the worms are in a pasture the stock

must be kept out of it. Even after a

heavy rain he thinks a farmer would

be taking chances to turn stock into a

pasture which had been poisoned, as

the rain might not wash all the poi-

son out.



Particular care must be used any-

where near the house or barn lot, he

says, as the chickens will find and eat

the poison mash if they are not con-

fined.



The main thing, Agent Smith says,

is to get quick action. The sooner the

poison is spread, the less the worms

will damage the crops. And the sooner

the worms are killed the fewer there

are to be killed, and the less the dan-

ger of their starting to migrate.



. 'Furrow Stops Army.



When the “army" starts to move,

another method besides poison be-

comes available to fight them. Bands

of the poison spread before them will

help, but a furrow may be plowed

around the edge of the field they are

in, with the straight land edge away

from them. If all breaks in the edge

of this are. trimmed with asharp spade

a temporary obstruction is made which

stops the worms from going straight.



Post holes dug every few yards right

in the bottom of this furrow, and two





to three feet deep, will trap the worms'

as they try to go sideways finding a‘





way out of the field. They are easily

destroyed in the morning after the

holes have trapped many of them.



Another method often employed in

connection with the furrow is to drag

a log back and forth in it, crushing

the worms that have crawled into it.

Any method that “does the business”

is all right to use, if action is prompt

and thorough.



Agents all over the corn belt are

warning farmers against the worm,

and urging that they report any as

soon as found. Their united battle cry

1s, “The army worm can be controlled

if, measures to fight it are taken.

"EAsTERN MILK SITUATION.





 

 

 





 





 

 





AIRY farmers, the price for whose

milk depends in greatpart upon

themarket price of butter, are view-

ing with some apprehension the steady

trend of butter downward. How far , .

will this movement extend? Who is ' 'u

back of it? What is the purpose? '

These are questions members of the

league are asking, and there must be ' 4‘ “u _.

an answer. The people who are inter-

ested in forcing the price of butter

down would do well to remember that

present methods of price-fixing are ,

only temporary, and that the League ~

has the power to terminate them if 1

they do not prove satisfactory.

The dairymen are somewhat against

certain lines of railway that accept

milk and butter for shipment in hot

weather, but do not provide ice in suf-

fficient quantities to keep it cool until "

it reaches the market. Losses are re-

ported from some sections, it being

stated the railways fix the time of be-.

ginning to ice cars by the time of the , .

year and not according to the weather. ‘_ '~-/

If it is as hot in June as it is in Aug- '

use, why should not plans he made to »

cool all dairy products in process of ' .‘1

transmission just as much in the ear- ‘ '

lier month as in the later? One ,man . ,

sayshe saw a tub of butter that had L. i" i“ t

tipped over on the side in one of the , ' A" '3‘? ' ..

cars used for shipment and left to melt ‘ ‘5.

so that it ran out on the floor. These 1, ' ‘

are things that help to determine the » 1

future action of the Dairymen’s League. Ti

The day will come when all who have ‘ “t.

to do with handling dairy products on ’ “i

the way from farm to consumer will ‘ i

see that it is worth while to do their ' ' ’

work faithfully and well. Strange to

what lengths some men will go with

the mistaken notion that their own sel— .

fish interests are best conserved by » 5:?

ignoring the best good of those who ‘ I L .

patronize them, and upon whom they , u

depend for their very existence. ‘

A staff representative of the Michiv

gan Farmer reports that army worms

have seriously damaged farmcrops in

the territOry between Bloomington, Ill- .

inois, and Wabash, Indiana. Many ‘ ,

fields of wheat, oats and corn have i

been completely ruined. In the vicin- /

ity of Decatur and Wabash patches

several rods wide through some of the ,

small grain fields are completely strip.
HEN a farmer plans to thresh

from the field, engages a cus-

tom threshing crew to do the work on

a certain day and the outfit does not

appear until three weeks. after the

specified time, is it any wonder that

the countryman makes. a few pointed

remarks corlcerning custom ‘thresher-

men in general and this one in par-

; ticular‘l’ .



Unreliability of custom threshers, la-

bor complications which often arise

' when two outfits reach a neighborhood

‘ the same day, the expense of custom

threshing, the' careless and extrava-

gant work of some hired machines, and

similar factors have caused the grain

growers in Michigan to organize coop-

erative threshing rings 'for the pur-

' chase, maintenance; and efficient oper-



ation of threshing machinery.

The benefits of the threshing are

plain to every grain grower. One large

. .. . threshing ring which has been particu-

'. x ‘ _ . larly successful and which has met all

‘ ' ’ expenses and paid for itself in four

. ', years out of the money ordinarily paid

" ._ I" by the members for custom threshing

" is the Up- t—o- Date Threshing Company,

of Livingston county, Illinois, which is

composed of ten members who own fif-

' - . teen farms. The partnership capital

j‘ ‘ originally totaled $3,275 and the equip-

" ' ' ment included .a twenty-horsepower

, steam engine, a water tank, a. sepa-

'. « rater with a thirty-four-inch cylinder,

- a corn sheller, and a second-hand sil-





 

 





 





g , p , age cutter, which has been replaced by

_ 131' *5 ' , a new one. The total threshing force

lv --.. ' usually employed in this ring for field

* ' . ' (work consists of ten men with teams

to haul bundles; five pitchers in the

, . ,. field; three men with teams to haul

1 - the threshed grain; two men‘to help

1 unload the grain at the barn; one man

on the stack; one man to Operate the

stacker; one man to clean up about the

.1 3 ~ _“- machinery; one water-boy; and three

' men .with the threshing outfit. This

g involves a force of twenty-seven men.

A ring of this size demands capable

management to insure success.

On Smaller Scale.

A smaller threshing ring, organized

last year in Fayette county, Ohio; con-

, sists of three landowners, whose part-

4 7 nership capital consists of $1,000 which

.. . represents the cost of a small twenty-

Cooperation in Threshing





nary crew was made up of five men,‘





 





is toward the formation of smaller co-

operative units and the purchase of

small outfits. This comes from the

necessity for more economical use of

labor and the advent of the farm trac-

tor, the power of which can be well

utilized to run a small thresher, which,

complete with wind stacker, self-feed-

er, and weigher, costs about $1, 200.

Most of the farmers’ clubs are small,

so that all members may get their

threshing done in about fifteen days.

All threshing is completed in season-

able time, so that the grain may be

saved to best advantage.

Advantages of Rings.



There are two general methods of

ring cooperation, the most common in-

volving the hiring of a threshing out-

fit, the Other its purchase.



Threshing rings are beneficial inas-

much as the threshing calendar in a

neighborhood may be So arranged that

the work can be carried out with the

least possible loss of time in moving

from farm to farm. As a job nears

completion, the first men through,

knowing their assignments in the next





'place, may go there immediately and





have the grain ready to thresh by the

time the outfit arrives and is set up.

No time is lost either in contracting

for an outfit or in securing a thresh-

ing crew. Certain men may be used

to best advantage by assigning them

to one kind of work for the season.

Unless the weather man prevents,





threshing continues until all the jobs '





are cempleted in the circle, and thus

little extra work is required in 'shifting

wagon boxes or hay loaders. Usually

the threshing season is, greatly short~

ened and this favors the .timely com-

pletion of the subsequent fall work,

such as plowing, seeding, distributing

manure;' and so on. The threshing

ring reduces the work of the house-

wife, as there are less men to feed

during the harvest season.



Practically all the threshing rings

perform some outside work as accom-

modatibn at the customary rates, or to

enlarge the ring in order to secure all

the necessary help. ‘



'When aring buys all the machinery,

new, separator, power, clover huller,

and possibly a grain sheller or a silage

cutter—and builds a shed to house the

implements, the total capital under

pre-war prices required usually"

amounts to $3,000 or $4,000. ‘When it

is possible for the'company to hire a

good engine or some other part of the

equipment, it may not be advisable

to buy. .



Threshing for the various members

of the ring is performed on a business

basis, an average day’s work being re-

garded as 2,000 bushels of cats, or

about 1,000 bushels of wheat or rye.

Record is kept of the time put in by

each laborer and the costs of the work

are distributed among the members on

the basis of the amount of grain that is

thrashed:

Why Gasoline





Prices Are

Low





HE fact that gasoline prices are



low constitutes the achievement



of an ideal on the part of the

Standard Oil Company. There are

several contributing factors.





The ingenuity bf the automobile en-

gineers in producing cars at moderate

prices and the efficiency of the

Standard Oil Company in producing

gasoline in sufficient quantities to

supply the demand have placed both





in the light of staples.





The demand for gasoline is steady—the supply

is steady --thus enabling the Company to

utilize its equipment to a maximum capacity

which in turn keeps down the costs and there-

fore selling prices.





The Standard Oil Company through long

years of experience is able to rescue and utilize

all of these fractions which go to make gaso-

line, and to utilize all by-products for com-

modities of universal use.





This plays an important part in keeping down

manufacturing costs on the basic product—-

gasoline.





The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) further-

more steadfastly adheres to a fixed policy of

supplying first, the patrons of the eleven

states it serves.





Thus at all times is there an ample supply for

every five gallon buyer and every five thousand

gallon buyer with no embarrassing demands

from outside to drain the supply and force

an increase in price.





It is by this husbandry that the Company is

able to keep down the price of gasoline that

you may run your car for the enjoyment of

your family or the furtherance of your busi-

ness Without great expense for fuel.





You may not know that gasoline sells in this





-m,arket for about one-half or one-third the





price charged in Europe even under normal

pro-war conditions. .

A Comparison of Costs





A graphic picture of the

high cost of doing business is

shown by the rise in a long list

of Commodity prices during the

past five strenuous years.





By the exercise of unparal-





leled economies, telephone

rates have been kept almost

unchanged.





The fact is, the increase in‘

the cost of commodities has

resulted in what is equal to a

decrease in telephone rates. ln

other words: The dollar which

was spent for the telephone

has bought more than twice

as much as the dollar spent

for the commodity.





1 The activities of reconstruc-

tion which are now upon the

nation have put a great burden

upon the telephone. This con-

dition has made necessary an

advance in telephone rates.





This advance does not ex-

ceed an average of eight per-

cent; almost'negligible as com-

pared with the advances in

other lines of industry, yet

enough to cover the increase

in the cost of operation.





Only through adequate rev-

enue can there be assured the

maintenance of a high stand-

ard of telephone service.

HE »- grain binder is one of the

implements which is used’only a





few. days a year and then put,





away until another harvest has rolled

around, and because of this is very

likely not to be in first-class condition

unless given a thoropgh‘ overhauling

before being taken out into the field.

All repairs should of course, have

been ordered last fall and put on be-

fore the rush season began; but in

this article we wish to point out some

of the things which are often overlook-

ed entirely, but which help greatly to

make the binder work satisfactorily.





Direction and TrOuble Book.





_ The first thingfor you to do is to

secure from your dealer or from the





, firm making the binder, a. copy of their





booklet on binder operation and trou-

bles. Practically every firm puts out

out sucha book and you can get it if

you go after it hard enough. We can

help you considerably through these

suggestions, but we are limited as to

space and must cover the points gen-

erally so as to apply to all types of

binders, rather than showing a special

binder by means of diagrams. W‘rite

for your booklet today and study it,

both at home and in the field, and it





. will show you how to prevent many a





binder trouble.

Bolts and Nuts.





Go over the binder carefully to see

that no bolts or nuts are missing or

loose, as there are usually a few plac-

es where nuts are likely to work off.

This is more likely to happen where

two metal parts bolted together are sub

jected to considerable vibration. The





 





 





”(7)100 (If JQUARING CLEWQTOK I‘KAHEJ. '





most satisfactory way to prevent them

from working loose is by spring lock

washer. If these are not available, a

second or lock-nut may be used if bolt





is long enough. Another method is by.





putting a sheet of brass or heavy tin

under the nut and then bending it up

so as to prevent the nut from turning.

Still another effective way is to take a

prick-punch or nail and make a slight

nick in one of the bolt threads just

above the nut. This will make a little

trouble if the nut has to be removed,

but will not be seriOus. Usually, how

ever, if the nut is turned down firmly

and then the tip of the bolt painted

with heavy lead paint, little or no trou-

ble from ’nuts coming off will be ex-

perienced.



Where a nut is too loose on a bolt,

due to the threads being somewhat

worn, the threads can often be made

to hold by laying a strip of thin tin or

brass or even cloth along the bolt and

screwing the nut on over this. Some-

times fine wire" or cord wrapped into

the threads will make them hold. An-

other-way is to set the nut .on‘ edge





and strike with a-hammer'until'itv'will'

" ‘such a trouble on an old binder. I





grip the thread ‘on the bolt.

Sometimes when it is desired either

to tighten or remove a nut, it is feund





to be "frozen” erstuck so tightly to'

It that“ it is impossible to turn it.





the

without danger of twisting off the bolt





“ In sucli a case, the nut can usually be





Dickerson





in the same way and then kerosene

Work'd in around the nut. In working

such a nut off after it has been leesen-





‘ed, plenty of oil and patience should

housed, and the nut worked back and .-





forth until it is finally gotten off.





A round-headed bolt which turns

when it is necessary to remove the

nut may often ‘be held by catching

with a pair of pliers or pipe wrench,

the part which projects through the

nut. Sometimes the head may be pried

up enough so that it may be caught by

the pliers or pipe wrench. Sometimes I

the head may be filed on two opposite '

sides so that it may be held by a

wrench. If another nut is available,

it is usually quicker and more, satisfac- -

tory to split the nut off with a cold

chisel and put on another. Before such '

a bolt is replaced it should be hushed

by strips of tin put 9n tWO sides.



All broken or lost cotter pins should

be replaced. In fact, it will pay any

farmer to keep an assortment of bolts,~

nuts and cotter-pins on hand for such

emergencies as may arise any day in

the operation ..of the hinder or other

farm machinery.





Canvas Troubles.





All broken reel arms and slats, and

also any canvas sticks should be re-

placed. It is a good idea to have an

extra one of each of these on hand, or

at least some material from which-

they can be made quickly. A strip of

thin leather put 'on the inside of the

canvas will make the stick hold much

better. The canvas straps should be

gone over to see that all are in good

shape and fastened firmly. Many op-

erators make the mistake of drawing

the straps too tight, as the canvases

should be run as loose as possible and

not slip. A little powdered resin scat-

tered inside the canvas will do away '

with the necessity of pulling up the

straps so tight, which not only cuts

the life of the canvas but requires

more power to operate. ‘





The flap to a canvas should be long

enough to cover up completely the op-

ening. It is long enough to do this

when new, but the majority of operat-

ors, instead of tying it down, let it‘

flap, around and it soon whips off. If

this has happened, a new piece should

be sewed inside the old‘ flap, or, better

still, be tacked under it at the first

stick. Some means should be arrang~

ed for tying this flap down at each

buckle. 7



Many operators have trouble with

the elevator canvases “creeping" or

running too much to one side. This

has a tendency to wear out one edge of

the'canvas too rapidly, pull the Sticks'

loose at that side, break them over the

rollers and cause. the straw to wrap

around the rolls. This is nearly al-

ways caused by the elevator rollers-

notbeing square with each other.



The easiest way to test this is to

take two sticks in the hand, as shown 1:

in the diagram, and measure the dis-

tance A B. Then without letting the '

sticks slip, measure G H. If these two

distances are not almost exactly the

same, the lower elevator is not square. .

and must be trued up by adjusting the

nuts at E and F, tightening one and





.loosening the other as the case may . '

demand. Most binders have anadjust-

*ment of this kind, but some models now





not. ,I remember being sent several

miles out into the country to remedy ‘





feund the lower elevator out of true

E four factors of car character — beauty, strength,





power and comfort—are exemplified in





Haynes Sedan.





the new series





It is the result of the Haynes organization’s





twenty/six years of creating cars of known character.

Noted coach builders fashion the bodies after the ideals of Haynes origi’





nators. As is proper and in keeping with the atmosphere suggested ’





by a closed car, the body styles are finished and fitted with that rich

simplicity which reflects the good taste of the owner of such a car.





Upholstered in genuine mohair velvet, with the rare Mount Vernon

pattern carried out in the silver fittings, with frosted rosette light’dome

and quarter/lights, with silver trimmed vanity case and smoking case of

solid mahogany-the new series Haynes all/season Sedan displays that

quiet elegance which appeals to the fastidious and discriminating patrons.





There is a demand for the new series Haynes which is requiring our best

eflrorts to meet. We urge you to make early reservation of the Haynes





you select.

SELECTING DAIRY HEIFERS.





\ I am just beginning in the dairy bus-

iness and would'be pleased to have

.you advise me how to select young

heifers. I want to go out and buy

some heifers and young cows to add

.to my herd. How much should I pay

for good grade heifers that give prom-

ise of developing into good producers?

l Lapeer Co. B. .



It is almost a hopeless task to de-

scribe the points that indicate heavy

milk production unless one has the

animals before him. In general the

heifers must possess the true dairy

type, for a heifer that departs widely

from such a type seldom develops into

,a. high producing cow. This does not

mean that the heifer must be in poor

flesh for she may be fat and sleek, and

yet easily distinguished from the beef

type. This difference may appear more

conspicuously in the thighs than else-

where. They should be thin and more

or less incurving~affording ample

room for udder development. A more

or less high-arched flank also indicates

dairy breeding. The shoulders are al-

so a factor closely noted by experienc-

ed dairy judges; they should be thin

and high. Then look for the milk

wells, the openings through the belly,

near the front legs. If these openings

are rather large and connected to the

udder by large‘ tortuous veins it is

pretty good evidence of milking ca-

pacity.



Probably the best method of study-

ing dairy type and breed peculiarities

is by visiting among breeders, attend-

ing fairs, public sales, and comparing

photographs of the best animals of the





 





leading dairy breeds. Added to all of

lthese points, one must use the scales

and Babcock tester before he can do.

termine the real value of a dairy cow.

But if one would exercise greater care

in selecting young heifers he would

have fewer disappointments when

they become of milking age.





SEEDING ALFALFA.





I have five acres of good sod ground

.that I want to plow and seed to alfal-

,fa late in August. How would you ad-

vise me to prepare the ground?

Calhoun Co. R. P. D.

You will find it very difficult to se-

cure a good stand of alfalfa on sod

ground. There is always danger of the

young plants being smothered out by

the quick—growing grasses that start

up on newly fitted sod ground. I would

suggest that you plow the ground this

fall, give it an application of manure

or fertilizer next spring and plant a.

crop of corn or potatoes. Then lime

the ground, plow and prepare for al-

falfa and seed the following season,

either in the spring or late in the sum-

mer. For spring seeding use a light

seeding of barley for a nurse crop; for

August seeding better results may be

obtained without a nurse crop.





FENCING THE Rvo.





A neighbor of mine has set his fence

out'into the road and it has been there

for some years now, and he claims

title to keep the fence there by virtue

of this, adverse possession. Can he

thus get rights in the highway?





It was a maxim of the common law

that time never runs against the king;

which means that no rights can be not

quired against the state by adverse,

use and possession; and the reason is

that what is everybody’s business is

nob‘bdy's business, andby neglect and

of general application and is received

and recognized as sound law. all over

the United States; but several years

ago it was held by the supreme court

of this state that the doctrine does not

apply in favor of municipalities—cit

ies, villages, townships, etc. That is

not the rule in most of {the other

states, and it has-been found to work

badly here, so that the legislature has

since enacted by express statute that

no title by adverse possession shall ac-

crue against any municipality—so that

the law here is now practically the

same as it is in the other states.

CREAM TESTS FOR BUTTER-MAK-

ING.





Will you please advise me as to what

is the best test for cream delivered at

the creamery?



Grand Traverse Co. P. A. G.



prefer





Most creamery operators

about twenty-five per cent cream for

butter-making. If richer than this it

will require dilution before churning,

and if thinner there is considerable

loss of fat in the buttermilk and an

equal loss of skim-milk to the patron.

There is no advantage in sending thin

cream to the creamery. The test is no

more accurate and considerable valu-

able skim-milk is lost that has a. very

high feeding value at the farm.

LOUSY HENS.





I have a. flock of thirty hens which

are lousy. I tried creosote, but am

afraid I didn’t get it strong enmgh. I

used two or three tablespoonfuls of

creosote to twelve quarts of water. Is

this strong enough? If not, how strong

should it be? What is the proper .way

to dip hens? Does it hurt to dip their

heads? Is there any other good dip

that you know of? W. H. P.



A five per cent solution of creolin,

or any good coal for preparation is

recommended for dipping fowls to kill

lice. The fowls should only be dipped

in the solution on a warm day and

then placed to dry where they will be

protected from draughts. Hold the

bird by the wings and head and im-

merse it back and forth in the mixture

for about a minute.’ The top of the

head can touch the solution but the

eyes must be protected from it. '





The dipping of fowls will kill the

lice but it is a harder, longer and dirt-

ier job than is necessary to keep the

lice from the hens. Why not with a bit

of blue ointment beneath the vent and

another under each wing' and turn the

bird loose without scaring it half t3

death by dipping. The blue ointment

will give protection from lice for sev-

eral months and after some trials of

dipping and dusting we much prefer

the blue ointment.- This can be pur-

chased at the drug store and mixed

half-and-half with vaseline or it can be

used clear.



We have found dusting even more

satisfactory than dipping and a. satis-

factory lice powder can be made at

home as follows: Mix three parts of

gasoline with one. part of crude car-

bollc acid and then stir in plaster of

A lessor is not bound to make any ;





repairs other than those expressly

promised in the lease, or so clearly

implied that it is equal to saying so.

In the absence of agreement the tenant

would be presumed to keep the prem-

ises in as good condition as when re-

ceived, ordinary wear and tear except— ‘

ed. If the rent is not paid when due

the lessor can summon the lessee be-

fore a circuit court commissioner on

two days’ notice, take judgment of

ouster, and if not paid in five days,





have the tenant put out. If the tenant . '





holds on a monthly rental and keeps

the rent up, and there is no definite

term to the lease, merely one month

after another till ended by notice, he

may be required to vacate on notice

for a rent period; for example, on the

rent day of this month he may be noti-

fied to get out on the next rent day.

NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.‘





Button—The receipts continue to in-

crease but it is thought that the flush

of production is about reached. Re-

ports indicate that favorable condi-

tions for extreme production prevail in

all butter producing areas, but with

the approach of hot weather it is

thought that a decreased production

will soon develop. In many sections;

hot weather is beginning to have a de‘

cided influence on quality and many

long lines are being affected. Activity

in the market continues to be inter-

mittent and demand is not equal to

supply. The result of unequal demand

has caused an aggregate decline in

price of butterof one and a half cents

during the week. That the decline has

not been greater is due to the fact

that enough speculative demand has

developed at the time of each decline





,to keep values fairly Well up. At the





close Friday, quotations were as fol-

lows: Extras 5114@511/§c; higher.

scoring than extras 52@521/20; firsts

Cheese—Throughout the country in

general. cheese values have declined

but the New York market has been

steadier. Speculative demand has been'

good and large quantities have moved

into warehouses. Receipts are liberal

and the quality is good with the excep-

tion of some lots which show the influ-

ence of hot weather and mold. Export

A‘CSh-eep in New

York State





. I S HEEP husbandry is on the upward -





trend in New York state. The



movement is not confined to any par-



ticular section. Sheep flocks are com-



ing back, not only to‘ the hill counties



of southern and eastern New York but



' to the ‘richer levels south of Lake

Ontario.



But the coming sheep of this state

will be a far different animal than the

old Spanish Merino "of the washboard'

type, which populated the eastern pas-

tures fifty years ago. It will be fash-

ioned after the Shropshire, developed

by using Shropshire rams on the na-

tives and cross-breds. It will be a dual

purpose sheep bred for wool and mut-

‘ton, and also quick maturity of the'

lambs. _



The sheep industry of 1919 in New

York is founded on a more enduring



' basis than ever before in its history.

‘Years ago, even in its best days, the

growers were unorganiaed, and rushed

in and out of the business as the wool

market went up or down.



In every county where sheep are



, kept to any extent there is a live, pro~

gressive sheep growers’ cooperative

association incorporated under the

state laws. These county assoCiations

are federated in a state association,

.With Mark Smith, of Ithaca, secretary.



' ’Mr. Smith is the son of a prominent

Ohio sheep breeder, and was not only

brought up in the sheep business but

is an enthusiastic promoter of good

sheep husbandry in all its phases.



' Each county association pools its

wool and sells it in bulk, dividing- the

returns pro rata according to the wool

contributed by each member. The

state secretary keeps the county asso-

ciations posted on market quotations

and conditions, mailing carefully pre-

pared bulletins containing the most up-

to-date market information at frequent

intervals 'to each local organization. He

also sends out timely suggestions on

the care of the flock.

" A farmers’ ram sale will be held at



-the state fair at Syracuse this fall,



; which it is believed will be very valu-

able to flock owners wishing to change

rams. The state fair sheep show will

undoubtedly be the” largest held in the

east in many years.-——E. E. R. '

Straw wrapping around the roller

pins or gudgeons may be due to the

canvas creeping to one side, to its be-

ing badly worn along one edge or to

the flap not being sufficient to cover

the opening. It is aggravated by grain

going up too much endwise and also

by too much end-play‘of the rollers. If

this is caused by the supports spread-

ing, the proper adjustment must be

made, but care must be taken that the

rollers are square after this is done.

If the end-play is due to wear, it is ad-

visable to slip heavy leather washers

in at the end to fill up the space as

much as possible. These can be split

and slipped in with the roller in place,

but it is better to take the roller out

where it can be done without too much

trouble.





 





 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   





Chains.



Many operators make the mistake of

running their sprocket chains too

tight, which not only wears the chain

too rapidly, but requires too much

power to operate. They should be run

as loosely as possible and still not

jump off. If a chain rides up on a

sprocket and produces a jerking ac-

tion, it is because the wear has allow-

ed the chain to stretch, so that the

pitch is not correct. This can often be

remedied by setting each link on end

and striking it lightly with a hammer





for the wear. Closing down the hooks

will do practically no good.



Chains should be put on so that each

link has its hook end pointing in the

direction of motion and with the open

side of the hook out. Running in the



_other way will increase the trouble

from wear very much.

Lubrication.



Probably no ordinary farm imple-

ment suffers more from poor oiling

than the binder. Part of this fault is

due to the construction and location of

oil holes. They have no provision for

holding oil or keeping out dust, and





sible places that the farmer is more to

be pitied than censured for not crawl-

. ‘ ing in to get at them as often as they

need attention. The greater part of

the fault is due to the fact that many

operators have not grasped the funda-

mental principles of machinery lubri-

cation, that the ideal method is to

keep a film of oil in the bearings at

all‘times. The nearest approach to

this is to put on a small amount of oil

at frequent intervals, rather than a

spoonful twice a day. The oil which

goes on the outside of the bearing does

no good and only helps in catching the

dirt. There are many places on the

binder, fast-moving places with little

provision for holding on, which should

be oiled every half-mile round.

All oil holes should be carefully

cleaned of dirt so that the oil has free

access to the bearing.

$1975 Buys the New Hudson super-sax





It Is Just Such a Quality Car As You Might I J ,v-ra

Expect—Dealers Are Now Showing It '





How often you must have heard users say

the Super-Six is potentially the finest automo-

bile that is built.



Four years with 60,000 cars in use have

shown how to free it from many of the annoy-

ances regarded as inevitable to all cars..



It expresses the attainment of an ideal long

cherished but never before possible.





Experience Showed

the Way





Hudsons have been leaders for ten years.

The Super-Six was the result of six years’ ex-

perience. It marked a new advance in motor

cars, for it minimized vibration and added to

endurance without sacrificing simplicity or

increasing weight.



It gave 72% more power than other motors





. of equal size.





Anew motoringpleasure resulted. Therewas

power for any emergency. There were speed

possibilities beyond the needs of any driver.



That was shown in its establishing speedway

records that are known to everyone.



As a result the Super—Six became the largest

selling fine car in the world.



Each year saw an advancement over previ—

ous models.



What was learned from cars delivered served

to make subsequent cars finer and more durable.



The development in beauty kept pace with

the improvement in mechanical detail. '





-._ ‘ggiysfimyjahmfiwmm :





 





Hudson Motor Car Company





 





 





Hudsons became pattern cars that the whole

industry recognizes.





On That Experience

A New Hudson Was Built 1





Such a car would be impossible of any other .

organization. The men responsible for the ;

Super-Six are likewise responsible for its dc.

velopment. They have retained all its earlier:

advantages. It is the same fine car you know.

but it is enhanced in ways that meet the

standard of our ideal.





Prompt Deliveries Now

Price $1975 (I. o.b. Detroit)





Every season has seen a Hudson shortage.

Buyers have waited months to get the car of

their choice.



Prompt deliveries are possible only to early

buyers.



When the new Super-Six gets into its

natural swing, buyers will have to wait their:

turn. There has been a marked Hudson

shortage for more than a year. Many dealers

have already sold their first months’ allot-

ments. ' ‘



This new price would in itself create a big

demand. But that $1975 buys a finer Super-

Six must mean more people will want it. Its

over sale will be tremendous. -



For that reason you will want to see the new

Hudson Super-Six as soon as possible.

(Continued from last week).



,She rested her weight on one arm

and leaned towards him a trifle.



“In Fox Cross-roads_there is much

that is hopeless, much that is sorrow-

ful, Mr. Burleson; there is hunger, bod-

ily hunger; there is sickness unsolac-

ed by spiritual or bodily comfort—Lnot

even the comfort of death! Ah, you

should see them—once! Once would

be enough. And no physician, nobody

that‘knows, I tell you—nobody through

the long, dusty, stiflling summers—no.-

body through the lengthening bitter-

ness of the black winterswnobody ex-

cept myself. Mr. Burleson. old man

Storm‘died craving a taste of broth;

and Abe Storm trapped a partridge for

him, and Rolfe caught him and Grier

jailed him—and confiscated the miser-

able, half—plucked bird! "



The hand which supported her

weight was clinched; she was not

looking at the man beside her, but his

eyes never left hers.



“You talk angrily of market hunt-

ing, and the law forbids it. You say

you can respect a poacher who shoots

for the love of it, but you have only

contempt for the market hunter. And

you are right sometimes—" She look-

ed him in the eyes. “01d Santry’s lit-

tle girl is bedridden. Santry shot and

sold a deer—and bought his child a

patent bed. She sleeps almost a whole

hour now without much pain.”



“Before Grier came,” she said,

“there was misery enough here—cold,

hunger, disease—oh, plenty of disease

always.

and rock gave them a little return for

heart-breaking labor, but not enough.

Their rifles helped them to keep alive,

timber was free; they existed. Then

suddenly forest, game, vlaie, and lake

were taken from them—fenced off,

closed to these people whose fathers’

fathers had established free thorough-

fare where posted warnings and shot-

gun patrols now block every trodden

trail. What is the sure result—and

Grier was brutal! What could be ex-

pected? Why, Mr. Burleson, these peo-

ple are Americansl—dwarfed mental-

ly, stunted morally, year by year re-

verting to primal type—yet the fire in

their blood set their grandfathers

marching on Saratogal—marching to

accomplish the destruction of all

kings! And Grier drove down here

with a coachman and footman in liv-

ery and furs, and, summoned the con-

stable from Brier Bridge, and arrested

old man Santry at his child’s bedside

-—-the new bed paid for with Grier’s

buck . . ,3, .



She paused; with a long breath she

straightened up and leaned back once

more against the tree. \



“They are not born criminals,” she

said. “See what you can do with

them—see what you can do for them,

Mr. Burleson. The relative values of

a. deer and a man have changed since

they hanged poachers in England.



They sat silent for a while, watching

the men below.



“Miss Elliott,” he said impulsively,

“may I not know your father?”



She flushed and turned towards him

as thought unpleasantly startled. That

was only instinct, for almost at the

same moment she leaned back quietly

against the tree. ‘



“I think my father would like to

know you,” she said. “He seldom sees

men—emen like himself.” ,- ‘



“Perhaps you would let me smoke a

cigarette, Miss Elliott ?" he ventured.



“You were very silly not to ask me

before," she said, unconsciously " fall~

ing into his commonplace vein of easy

"011. I beg your pardon,” cried Burle- _.





son, red as a pippin. ' , ~

“I am not a bit‘sensitive,” she said.

Her mouth, the white, heavy lids Of

her eyes, contradicted her. .

“There was a very dreadful smash~

up of the house of Elliott, Mr. Burle-

son. If you feel a bit friendly towards

that house, you will advise me howl

ing you why; My father has simply

gion; even Grier offered half her value.

If you know of any peopie who care

for that sort of horse, I’ll be delighted

to enter into brisk correspondence with

them“, ‘ , "



“I know a man,” observed Burleson.

deliberately, “who would buy that

mare in about nine-tenths of a second.”



“Oh, I’l-l concede him. the other

tenth!” cried the, girl, laughing. It

was the first clear, ‘care-free laugh he

had heard from her—and so fascinat-

ing, so delicious, that he sat there

silent in entranced surprise.





“About the value of the mare,” she

suggested, diflidently, “you may tell

your friend that she is only worth

what father paid for her—”





“Good Lord!” be said. “that’s not

the way to sell a horse!”



“Why not? Isn’t she worth that.

much?” -





“What did your father pay for her?” .





The girl named the sum a trifle anx-

iously. “It’s a great deal, I know—”



“It’s about one-third of what she is

worth,” announced Burleson. “If I

were you, I’d add seventy-five per cent,

and hold out like—like a demon for it.”



“But I cannot ask more than we

paid—”



“Why not?”



“I—don’t know. Is it honorable?”



They looked at each other for a mo-

ment, then he began to laugh. To her

surprise, she felt neither resentment

nor chagrin, although he was plainly

laughing at her. So presently she

laughed, too, a trifle uncertainly, shy

eyes avoiding his, yet always returning

curiously. She did not know just why;

she was scarcely aware that she took

pleasure in this lean-faced young

horseman’s company.



“I have always believed,” she began,

“that to sell anything for more than.

its value was something as horrid as

—as usury.” ,



“Such a transaction resembles, usury





as closely as it does the theory of Py— ,





thagoras,” he explained; and presently

their laughter aroused the workmen,





who. looked upfleaning on spade and





pick. .

"I can only realize it by compari-

What, exactly, did he mean by that? .





She looked around at him; he was ab-

needles with his riding-crop.‘

“Not at all," said Burleson.



This time the silence was strained;

Miss Elliott remained very still and

thoughtful.





“I think,” he said, “that this coun— ‘





try is only matched in paradise. It is



the most beautiful place on earth.”

To this astonishing statement she



prepared no answer. The forest was





attractive, the sun perhapssbrighter ‘





than usual—or was it only her imagi-





nation due to her own happiness in





selling The Witch?



“When may I call upon Mr. Elliott?"

he asked suddenly. “Tonight?"



No; really be was too abrupt, his





conversation flickering from one sub .





ject to another - without relevance,

without logic. She had no time to re-

flect, to decide what he meant, before,

crack- he was off on another trail—

and his English no vehicle for the con-





“There is something,” he continued,

“that I wish to ask you. May 1?”



She bit her lip, then laughed, her

gray eyes searching his. “Ask it, Mr.

Burleson, for if I lived a million years

I’m perfectly certain that I could never

guess what you are going to say next.”



“It's only this,” he said, with a wor-

ried look, “I don’t know your first

'name.”



“Why should you?” she demanded,

amused, yet instinctively resentful. “I

don’t know yours, either, Mr. Burle-

so'n—and I don’t even ask you.”



“Oh, I’ll tell you,” he said, “my name

is only John William. Now will you

tell me yours?”



She remained silent, coping with a

candor that she had not met with since

she went to parties in a muslin frock.





She remembered one boy who had pro- ,





posed elopment on ten minutes’ ac-

quaintance. Burleson, somehow or

other, reminded her of that boy.



“My name,” she said carelessly, “is

Constance.”



“I like that name,” said Burleson.



It was pretty nearly the last straw.

Never had she been conscious of be-





ing so spontaneously, so unreasonably 1-





approved of since that wretched boy

had suggested flight at her first party.

She could not separate the memory of

the innocent youth from Burleson; he

was intensely like that boy; and she

had liked the boy, too—liked him so

much that in those ten heavenly min-

utes’ acquaintance she was half per-

suaded to consent—only there was no-

where to fly ”to, and before they could

decide her nurse arrived. .

“If you had not told me your first

name," said Burelson, “how could any-

body make out a check to your order?"

THE FIRE WARDEN.





(Continued from page 945).



Meanwhile he had confidently skip-

ped to another subject. “Phosphates

and nitrogen are what those people

need for their farms. Now if you pre-

pare your soil—do your own mixing,

of course—then begin with red clover,

and plow—”



Her gray eyes were so wide epen

thatlhe stopped short to observe them;

they were so beautiful that his obser-

vation continued until she colored fur-

iously. It was the last straw.



“The fire is out, I think,” she said,

calmly, ‘rising to her feet; “my duty

here is ended, Mr. 'Burleson."



“Oh—are you going?" he asked, with

nndisguised disappointment. She re—

garded him in silence for a moment.

How astonishingly like that boy he

was—this six-foot—



“Of course I am going,” she said,

and wondered why she had said “of

course" with emphasis. Then she

whistled to her mare. .



“May I’ride with you to the house?"

he asked, humbly.



She was going to say several things,

all politely refusing. What she did say

was, “Not this time.”



Then she was furious with herself,

and began to hate him fiercely, until

she saw something in his face that

startled her. The mare came up; she

flung the bridle over hastily, set foot

to metal, and seated herself in a flash.

Then she looked down at the man be-

side'her, prepared for his next remark.



It came at once. “When may we

ride together, Miss Elliott?”



She became strangely indulgent.

“You know,” she said, as though in-

structing youth, “that the first proper

thing to do is to call upon my father,

because he is older than you, and he is

physically unfit to make the first call.”



“Then by Wednesday we may ride 2”





~ he inquired, so guilessly that she broke ,





into a peal of delicious laughter.

“How old are you, Mr. Burleson?

Ten?” .



”I feel younger," he said.



"So'do I," she said. “I feel like a

"little girl in a muslin gown." Two

. spots of color tinted her cheeks.‘ He

' hadnever seen such beauty in human

guise, and he came very near saying



so. Something in- the aromatic moun-

tain air was tempting her to reckless-

ness. Amazed, exhilarated by the

< temptation, she sat there looking down

Flint, Mich, June 17.





The four automobiles that

were in the garage fire Sun;

day morning were insured in

the Citizens’ Mutual Automo-

bile Insurance Company at F

Howell.





The adjuster for the com-

pany met with the owners of

the automobiles and made a

satisfactory settlement, mak-

ing a total cash settlement of

$3, 249. 00. The owners of the

cars were very much pleased

with the prompt and satisfac-

tory adjustment.





The adjuster for the com-

pany said they were able to

pay in cash because they had

accumulated a surplus during

the five seasons and had on

hand over $80,000. Automo-

bile owners who take a policy

in the Big Mutual know that

when a serious loss occurs

that the company has the

money on hand to pay prompt-

ly, and the fact that the com-

pany has written over 46,000

policies gives each member

the benefit of a very low rate

of insurance due to quantity

production.

HAT is the work of a. heme dem-

Wonstration agent? A . great many

folks are asking the question in

counties so unfortunate as to have no

such community worker. And even in

counties where the agent has been

working for two years there is some

haziness as to just what the agent is

expected to do. I thought I was quite

familiar with the work of these ear-

nest young women until I read a num-

ber of reports gleaned from all cor-

ners of the state and donatedby Miss

Edna V. Smith, state leader of the

home demonstration agents. From

these reports I find that instead of be-

ing expected to conduct canning dem-

onstrations, give talks and demonstra-

tions on food values, organize poultry

clubs, and work up home hot-lunch

clubs in the schools, the home demon-

stration is a combination 'of visiting

housekeeper, dressmaker, public nurse.

poultry expert, social welfare worker,

visting library, school lunch propagan-

dist, milk station manager, and new





voters’ guide to the people of her com-

munity. In short, in the words of St.

Paul, she must “become all things to

all men, that by all means she might

save some.”



One agent writes: “A home demon-

stration agent needs sixteen years of

college and another sixteen years of

practical experience. Do you blame

me for wanting to join the army?

Health and a good digestion are nec-

essities, too. I believe that inocula-

tions given me several weeks ago are

all that have saved me from dying of

the cold. I have been riding in the

cold from noon until six o’clock and

from eight until midnight or two-third-

ty, with a meeting in between, nearly

everyday for two weeks and haven’t

a cold. The remark about good diges-

tion was caused by a queer experience

on Thanksgiving Day. I was here and

there all day and had three good meals

all three being eaten between 11:00 a.

m. and 2:00 p. m.

other day, visiting a school situated

next door to an old logging Camp now

occupied by a whole slew of Indians.

About eight small savages came rush-

ing out and swarmed along beside the

car. When we reached the school-

house the driver turned into the yard

right at the youngsters. Like the Irish-

man on the railroad track one little

squaw ran straight ahead of us, we

following at a much lower rate of

speed, and she had such a do-or—die ex-

Pioneers, a few of the home demon-

stration agents are, it would seem from

this girl’s letter. There are twenty-

one agents detailed for county work,

nine in the upper peninsula. Five

agents work onlyin cities, two in De-

troit and one each in Saginaw, Flint

and Grand Rapids. These agents, of

course, do a much different line of

work. In the cities, schools, women’s

clubs and municipal organizations cov-

er the field so thoroughly that the

lem; these Women Asked Help in Poultry Culling.





work of the home demonstration

agents is not so diversified. Demon-

strations of substitutes and canning

took up a great deal of time during the

war, and the canning demonstrations

will be continued in some places dur-

ing this summer. In Detroit, Flint,

and Saginaw, milk stations have been

established where skim-milk is sold to

the poor and its proper use taught

them. In Detroit the milk is bought





’for three cents per quart and sold for





five. In Saginaw it is bought for ten

cents and sold for six. The deficit is

made up from funds raised by the fed-

eration of clubs.





So far the work of the home demon-

stration agents has been done mostly

in large groups, public canning and

cooking demonstrations, . lessons- on

sewing, textiles, etc. In some places

the agents work through organizations

already existing, the grange, farm bu-

reau, Red Cross, .etc. In others organ:





izations'have been formed. During the l _

coming summer an efl‘ort is to be made "





to get into more personal touch with

the women by work in small groups

who meet in someone’s'home.



The underlying idea is to give each

community just what it wants most.

In some places the women are anxious

to learn new ways of cooking and can-

ning and to study food values. Again

they want to learn how to judge

clothes, to know whether they are get- .

ting linen or mercerized cotton. Along

with this they want to know about

cutting from patterns, remodeling old

garments, how to buy to the best ad-

vantage, the use of the attachments on

their sewing machine, in short, every-

thing that pertains to sewing. Or it

may be health is their theme. They

want to know more about nursing. A

class is organized and a nurse secured,

in some localities through the Red

Cross and in others through the exteno

sion department. In every case it is

the aim of the agent to give her people

what they want. .



For the counties who have no agent

there is another helper, the extension

specialist. These workers go to any

community where they are needed,

without expense to the community. In

some sections of the state the idea

seems to prevail that these specialists

will not be sent unless the county has

an agent, agricultural or home demon-

stration. This is not true, any com:

munity, no matter how isolated, may

secure an extension specialist by w“rit~

ing to the Home Economics Extension

office at East Lansing, Michigan.





The work of these specialists, whose

state leader is Miss May Pierson, is

somewhat similar to that of the home

demonstration agents. They are ready

to teach and to talk on any subject,

food, clothing, child welfare, nursing—-

whatever the community requests. Re-

cently there has been added a new

line, a milk specialist. Miss Coral R.

Havens, who has for two years demon-

strated food and sewing, is now to hold

demonstrations on milk, its proper

care and use. '



The individual reports of the agents-

are so interesting that extracts from

some of them will be given in a. later

issue. DEBORAH.





Cold Pack Your Vegetables





Household Editor:-—-Please tell me

how to can garden peas, and also

strawberries—Mrs. L. B., Manton.





ETHODS of canning strawber-

rieswere given last week.

There is but one sure way to can

peas, or in fact, any vegetable, and

that is the cold-pack method. This

method has been described over and

over again, but for the benefit or those

who have not kept the articles it will

be given once more. Cut out the tinie-

table and paste it where you can al-

ways have it. '

The vegetable, whether peas, aspen,

agus, string beans, corn or greens,





should be canned immediately after





picking before it has a chance to wilt.

Clean thoroughly. The next step is





blanching. This means cooking for a ‘,

limited time, one to fifteen minutes, in L ‘





a. boiling water or live- steam. Thief.

is best done by tying the vegetable

a square cheesecloth of a. size conv'

ient to fit easily into your kettle. A15“

bers and tops, turning the tops down

until they just touch the rubbers but





not tight. '“Then place immediately in

your canner, over the top, and proc—





. ess-cook the time given in the table.





If you use a hot water bath the water

must ‘come up two inches above the

tops of the cans. It must be boiling

when the cans are entered and kept

boiling the entire time. Enter each

can as fast as filled. If you leave

them standing on the table until all

are filled, they become chilled and

crack when put into the hot water.



A time table for fruits and vegeta-

bles most usually put up follows, the

time being expressed in minutes:

When the time is up remove, tight-

canner you can use your boiler, a lard,





can, large kettle or pail. Put a small

board with holes bored in it in the

bottom to rest the cans on, otherwise

they are likely to break. Do not use

_ paper or straw packed down. The de-

partment "of agriculture finds this

method unsatisfactory. A slat bottom

like a basket cover will do.

commercial canners may be bought for

34.50 or $5.00. If you have a great

deal of canning to do it would pay

you to buy one. -



In canning peas handle carefully so

as not to break the skin. If the skin

is broken the liquid becomes “cloudy.”

This does not spoil the vegetables, but

gives them a bad appearance. In can-

ning corn it is better to out just

enough off the cob for one can at a

time. Corn that is packed slowly be-

comes soaked or “water-logged." When

the directions say to blanch in steam,

.lay your cheesecloth in a steamer over

boiling water instead of dipping direct-

ly into the kettle.

CORN.





Peace news has made 'the corn

market ascend to the highest prices yet

this season. Although business in the

corn pit was at an end before the fact

was published that the Germans had

signed, word was received that such

action on the part of the German gov-

ernment was assured. While prices

at Chicago have declined during the

last two days. Detroit quotations are

unchanged. One year ago No. 3 corn

sold for $1.50 on the local market.

Present prices here are:



No. 3 corn ............. $1.84





No. 3 yellow............ 1.86

No.4 yellow............ 1.84

No. 5 yellow............ 1.81

At Chicago No. 3 yellow closed on

Wednesday at $1.771,é@1.801/2; Sep-

tember $1.76%.





OATS.





The oat market is relatively weak

owing to an increase in the visible sup-

ply, together with a light seaboard de-

mand. The visible supply of oats in-

creased 642,000 bushels the past week.

It is said that Texas oats will be keen

competitors in the market within a few

days. Texas has raised a big crop and

the oats are being offered freely. The

price for standard oats on the local

market was 800 per bushel. Today’s

quotations are:





Standard oats ............ 73



No. 3 white ............... 72%



No. 4 white ......... . ..... 711/2

by the changes in the other grains,

cash No. 2 now being quoted at $1.45.





BARLEY.

try remain unchanged from last week.

Reports coming from Iowa,- South Da-

kota and Kansas state that the crop is

in excellent condition. Detroit prices

are $2.30@2.40 per cwt. for cash No. 3.





.BEANS.





The bean market has been very

quiet throughout the week with trade

dull and tone showing weakness along

certain lines, though prices remain

fairly steady as the supply is moderate

in volume. At New York Michigan

pea beans are quoted at $7.75; red kid-

neys at $12.75, while limas continue

about steady at $9.50. The Chicago

market is inactive with choice to fancy

hand-picked quoted at $7.75@8 and red

kidneys $11@11.50. In Detroit the

price for pea beans has dropped off

slightly from last week with present

quotation at $7.15 per cwt.

tained. Local quotations are: No. 1

POTATOES.





The market for old potatoes is de-

cidedly weak with the supply exceed-

ing the demand, the increased supply

of new potatoes having a decided in-

fluence on this market. At Detroit No.

1 whites in 150-1b. sacks are selling at

at Cleveland the same grade is

selling at $2.50@3, while poorer grade"

are selling as low as $1; at Buffalo

Michigan sacked round whites are sell-

ing at 75c@$1.50 per cwt; in Indian-

apolis the market shows a wide range

of quality and conditions, with sacked

rond whites averaging $1.50 per cwt.





CHEESE.





No special improvement is being re-

ported in the demand from any partic-

ular source, and the market displays

a continuation of weakness. Produc-

tion is heavy and supplies are running

considerably in excess of those of last

week. Michigan flats are bringing 300

at Detroit, single daisies 30150. In New

York young Americas are quoted at

33@3314c. In,Philadelphia the New

of one cent on a very slow market, but

later recovered the loss. At Detroit

fresh creameries quoted at 48%@50%c

per pound. The Chicago market is un-

settled, though prices have advanced

a half to one cent, with the creamery

stock jabbing at 46@51c. In New

York the indications are for larger

production, though in some sections

the hot weather has told unfavorably

on the quality. .The market ,. has set-

tled about one and a half cents during

the past week. Prices range from 49

creamery extras bringing from 50@

GRAND RAPIDS ,





The first new hay was marketed last

week, selling at $24 per ton.

ago it brought $13.

Kent and Ottawa counties Saturday

showed'many pieces of wheat on the

turn, especially the bald variety, and"

several fields of corn knee high. Job-

bers in beans state only 60 per cent

of bean acreage planted and their opin-

ion is the acreage will fall below that

of last year. Old potatoes dropped to

550 per bushel on the city market last

week. At several outside points the

price was cut to 500 per cwt. During

the past week 12,300 crates of straw-

berries were brought to the city mar."

ket, 70 per cent being taken by. the

canning factory under contract at $32-25

per crate. The balance brought $2.75

to 3.50 according to quality.

So, although the poetry and romance ,3

ducts looms up, and it seems hardly

‘ possible that there will be any surplus

’ supply of hogs in the corn belt. Pro-

visions are having an enormous con-

' sumption at home and abroad, and

during the second week of June the

exports from Atlantic ports included

‘19,942,000‘pounds of lard and 40,143,000

pounds of hog meats, comparing with

15,858,000 pounds of lard and 60,983,-

000 pounds of hog meats a. week ear-

lier, and with 8,042,000 pounds of lard

and 32,219,000 pounds. of hog meats for

.the corresponding week last year. Lard

,has been selling at higher prices than



- were ever paid in the past history of

the trade, and during May the stocks

at lard in the country suffered a de-



‘ crease of nearly 25,000,000 pounds.

’ Mohawk tires contain an extra ply of standard

weight fabric—a ply that other makers do not

think it necessary to use.



So we believe in building tires—not only the

treads that show, but the parts underneath that

do not show—with the greatest amount of

strength it is possible to give them.



You may find another tire with a so-called

extra ply. But you will find no other tire with as

many plies of 17% ounce pure Sea Island Cotton

fabric, as the Mohawk tire contains.



It is better quality throughout—only pure

materialsbmore generous quantities of these—

the fact that Mohawks are hand-made—that

enables us to dare tell you that tire building today

is not a question of secrets or special processes,





but. of quality alone.

mileage; the freedom from repair bills; and the sure positive

way they hold the road under all conditions.

Whatever kind of a truck you own, Fisk Cord TTuCk

I‘ires will give you uninterrupted mileage, great tractive power; " H'
