_ ' Better Farm Loan Service for Michigan





   





 





ViPresi'cz’ent Quamme oft/2e Federal Lqéza' Bané osz‘. Paul Clears Up Mzkuna’errmndmgs Aéout Securing Loam





HAVE your communication enclos— borrowed more than 'from any state in





ing a copy of letter from Mr. E. E.

Cutler, of Ionia county, Michigan.



I have read his letter veryrcarefully

'and note from the contents that the

writer is not familiar with the Federal

Farm Loan service and what we are

The correspondent seems to

think that it is necessary to secure ten

farmers to join together every time

that a loan is‘ to be made. On the

contrary, the method used is as fol-

lows: A Farm Loan Association is

chartered in a given territory accord-

ing to the provisions of the Federal

Farm Loan Act. It takes ten incor-

porators to organize such a Farm Loan

Association. Whenthis corporation is

chartered, they can entertain applica-

tions and close loans at any time just

the same as any other bank' or loan-

ing corporation. They will be given a

definite geographical territory, such as

a county, fer example, and within that

territory loans can be made to all

farmers that have security that com-

plies with the law. When the corpor-

ation is organized, the farmer will

make application to the secretary-

treasurer and that is about all the

farmer has to do. The secretary-treas-

urer, the loan committee, and the Fed-

eral Land Bank will do the rest. It is

not necessary for a' farmer to go

around and secure others to join with

him in order to secure a loan.



We find in many cases that farmers

are selling their land to beginners who

have only a few hundred dollars to

pay down; A loan will be made by the





'Federal Land Bank for one-half the





value of the farm and the grantor will

take back a second mortgage for the

.balance the purchaser has to pay, at a

lowrate of interest. As the interest





. charge on the first mortgage is very





low'the purchaser will make payments

on the second mortgage from year to

year as he sells his produce. In this

way many people are able to go on

the land that otherwise could not. In

other words, people who, from old age

or otherwise, must sell their land, are

willing to take a second mortgage fol-

lowing a Federal Land Bank loan,





'which they otherwise would not do.





The correspondent seems to think

that the people in the older sections

.110 not take readily to the Farm Loan'

system. In reply to that will say that





the best and probably the highest pric- '





ed land in the United States, with a

few exceptions, is in the state of Iowa.





and in that state the farmers have ‘





the “Union, from the Federal Land

Bank. We have Farm Loan Associa-

tions now organized generally through-

out southern Michigan and by next

year we hope to have every county in

our entire district chartered.‘ We are

making loans to farmers in southern

Michigan every day. To show how

readily the farmers have taken to the

farm loan system, even though it was

a new departure in American finance,

and even though it takes-considerable

time and effort to organize the Farm

Loan Association‘s to begin with, we

have, at the present time, closed over





thirty-three million dollars in loans in

just a little over two years time, be-

sides organizing the system, the bank,

and over five hunlldred Farm Loan As-

sociations. At the rate we are doing

business, we will have an institution

with over “a hundred million dollars in

assets before. it is six years old. We

are already on a successful dividend-

paying basis and our record in Collec-

tions is most gratifying. At this writ-

ing we only have four delinquent pay-

ments in the bank, totaling less than

$500 and none of them are over sixty

days’ delinquent. ‘



We cannot expect every farmer to

T is not improbable that the agriculture of Michigan will be great-





ly changed in the coming years.





Increased attention of tillers of





the soil and rural leaders to the agricultural conditions of their respec-

tive communities is showing us the way to more economic systems of





farming.





Hardier varieties, new crops, cultural methods especially





suited to each class of Soil, live stock that fits the peculiar require-

ments of every feeder and breeder, will displace the less desirable.

Then better marketing systems are on the way and there is certain to

be a more careful consideration given to farm buildings and machin-

ery, to the end that every dollar invested will produce a maximum of





service.





Finally the complete establishment of a serviceable farm





loan system that will enable farmers to get financial aid on favorable

terms and with a minimum of red tape, and the organization of a

strong farmers’ organization that will faithfully represent and defend





their interests, completes a list of movements already under





way,





which when fully realized will go far toward establishing the agricul~

ture of the state upon the rock of experience and of the best practical

and scientific knowledge to be had.





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 





understand 'tnis system immediately

and we must have patience. The farm

journals, such as yours, have assisted

us in getting the information toithe

farmers more than all other agencies

combined. I want to take this oppor-

tunity to thank you and your splendid

paper for the good work that you are

doing for the farinersand the farm

loan system. You realize the same as

we do, that, when a 'farmer secures a

loan through the Federal Land Bank,

he is thoroughly established on the

farm. His loan runs for a period of

a lifetime at a low rate of interest and

when it comes. due it will be paid. It

eases the farmer’s mind, with respect

to his debt, and he is then ready to go

ahead knowing that his home is se-

cure. He will be encouraged to extend

his operations and make improve-

ments, thus adding the instrumentali-

ties of production to assist him in his

work, such as better barns, silos, hog

houses, poultry houses, fencing in his

farm, tiling and draining his farm,

etc. No better service can be render-

ed to agriculture than to properly and

adequately finance the farmer so that

he can bring his farm up to the high-

est state of production.



We shall be glad to cooperate with

you at any and all times. We want

you to write us for bulletins and infor-

mation circulars. If any question

comes up that you want full and de-

tailed information on, we will be glad

to give you this information at all

times. In this way we can work to-

gether to bring this service to the

farmers in every section of your state.

Your splendid paper goes to the farm

homes in every nook and corner of

Michigan and is a powerful influence

for good. Next year we are going to

make a drive in the State of Michigan

to complete the organization of Farm

Loan Associations so that every coun-

ty in the state will be organized. In

this work we would like to have your

cooperation. We have now practically

completed the states of North Dakota,

and Minnesota and our work in these

states will be finished this fall. Next

year then, we will make our drive in

Wisconsin and Michigan to complete

those states and when that is done,

the Seventh_ District, comprising the

states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne-

sota and North Dakota, will be thor-

oughly organized so that a farmer‘liv-

ing anywhere in this great district,

who has the security required by law,

can secure a. loan from the Federal

Land Bank system.

ILLINOIS AGRICULTURAL ASSO-

CIATION BUSY.





 





T the session of the executive com-

mittee of the Illinois Agricultural

Association, held September 24, the

live stock committee of five, and See

retary D. 0. Thompson were instruct-

ed to go to Washington to support the

position of the Agricultural Associa-

tion during the Kenyon-Kendrick hear—

ing. The live stock committee prepar-

ed a statement protesting against agi-

tation to cut the high cost of living.

This statement was passed on by ex-

ecutive committee and is as follows:

“The result of the high-cost-of-living

agitation has been to decrease food

prices temporarily at the expense of

future production. The recent drop

of $5.00 a hundred in hogs, $3.00 in cat-

tle, and fifty cents a bushel in corn,

has taken all the profit in this year’s

crop of live stock and grain, and in

many cases more. Nothing that the

farmer buys has decreased in price.



“In the face of high costs of labor

and farm supplies, with an agitation

against food prices that is forcing

these prices below the cost of produc-

tion, there is only one thing for the

farmer to do—cut expenses and oper-

ate 011 a decreased scale of production.

This will mean a shortage, with corv

respondingly high prices to the con-

sumer next year.



“The drop in cattle and hog prices

has hardly been noticed in the consum-

er’s meat bill. But it has cut the farm-

er’s returns so much that he is cutting

down the number of sows to be bred

for next spring’s pig crop. Cattle feed-

ers are afraid to buy feeders, in view

of the uncertainty of a profitable mar-

ket for the finished cattle. There are

more empty feed lots in Illinois than

at any time in recent years.



“The agitation against food prices

is doing the consumer little good. It

will do him much'harm, that will be

felt six months or a-year from now in

a serious food shortage. Farmers can

not and will not supply the country

with food at less than cost of produc-

tion." '



Preliminary report of the constitu-

tional convention committee was ac-

cepted and committee instructed to

make further study, especially in tax-

ation problem.



The organization committee report-

ed 15,500 $5.00 memberships. Four

counties are having membership cam-

paigns each month, five to eight state

membership solicitOls in each county

cooperating with county farm bureau.

The main work of publicity to date has

been advertising county membership

campaigns.

being studied.

kins’ whole system of agriculture will

be defeated if Illinoisfarmersdo not

acquire phosphate lands.” He strongly

recommended a committee to investi-

gate further. Candidates for that com-

mittee will be considered by the ex-

ecutive committee before the next

meetinggand the committee will be ap-

pointed at that time.

General Statement of Farm Paper

Editors.



‘ “There is a real need for a represeno

tative farm organization that can

finance and solve its own problems.

The type of the Illinois Agricultural

Association is the most helpful and

hopeful of any farm organization which

has yet been started. This organiza-

tion must have an understanding and

cooperate with the public and must al-

so stand up and fight for its rights and

justice.” I





HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS OUT

STORAGE BILL.





 





COLD storage bill much less dras-



tic than has been advocated is re-

ported out by the House Committee

on Agriculture. The bill fixes twelve

months as the maximum period during

which food may be kept in storage.

This period is acceptable to the pack-

ers and others interested in the cold

storage business. They testified before

the committee that the ten months’

limit proposed 'in the Hutchinson bill,

or even shorter periods provided in

the McKellar bill, would be needlessly

severe upon them. They took the po-

sition that the cold storage business is

seasonal in its nature, and that it is

necessary to carry commodities from

one season to another, and that any

limit short of twelve months would

not work out satisfactorily.



A bill provides that the time that

goods that have been in cold storage

must be plainly marked upon each

package removed from storage ware-

houses. A penalty for violations of

the provisions of the bill is fixed at a

fine of not exceeding one thousand

dollars or imprisonment of-not more

than .one year or both.





The Secretary of Agriculture is au-

thorized to administer the act and to

make regulations for its enforcement.

Persons conducting cold storage estab-

lishments must make monthly reports

to the secretary as to the amounts of

food in cold storage, the number and

nature of refrigerating shipments and

such other facts as may be required.



The provisions of the bill apply to

“any article, except liquid food, that is

intended or designed for food for hu‘

man consumption.” The purposes of

the bill as defined are “to prevent

hoarding and deterioration of and de-





ception with respect to cold storage

foods, to regulate ‘shipments of cold

storage foods in interstate commerce,

and for other purposes”



Food that has been in cold storage

for less than thirty days is not requir-

ed to be marked. Food held for thirty

days or longer must be plainly mark-

ed, either on the food itself or its con—

tainer, giving the date it was put into

storage, the date of its reméval and

the name and location of the refriger-

ating plant.



Cheese is the only article of food

which may be kept in storage for long-

er than one year.



The Secretary of Agriculture is au-

FARM DELEGATES ’N‘AMED.





 





HE names of three representatives



of agricultural organizations who

will participate in President Wilson’s

industrial conference on October 6,

were announced this afternoon by Sec-

retary of Labor Wilson. They are:

C. S. Barrett, of Union City,'Ga., pres-

ident of the Farmers’ Educational and

Cooperative Union of America; J. N.

Tittemore, of Caro, Wis., representing

the American Society of Equity, and

T. C. Atkeson, of Washington, of the

National Grange. There is general dis-

satisfaction among agricultural lead-

ers in the number of delegates allotted

agriculture in the general conference.

The following telegram from Lewis

Taylor, General Secretary of the Indi-

ana Federation of Farm Bureaus to

Secretary Bingham of the Michigan

Farm Bureau indicates how these new

state organizations will function when

agricultural interests are involved:

We regard number of representatives

accorded farmers on committee which

meets in Washington October 6, as in

no way reflecting interests on our

questions that will arise in that con-

ference. You are invited to send rep

resentatives to Indianapolis Monday,

September 29 to consider steps to se-

cure proper representation.”





WANT SPECULATION AND PRICE

MANIPULATION ELIMINATED.





 





LIMINATION by federal law of



food speculation and price manip-

ulation, or, if such legislation is unob—

tainable, collective refusal by produc-

ers to sell farm products at the call of

speculators, is the aim of the Illinois

Agricultural Association, according to

its secretary, David 0. Thompson.

This is the organization which recent-

ly sent a telegram to the Indiana

Farmers’ Association, in convention at

Indianapolis, asking cooperation of In-

diana growers in holding live stock

and grain on the farms until a “sane

market has reestablished itself.”





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 

 





 

 

 

 





 

 





“our telegram means," said ‘yMr.

Thompson, “that the farmers havehad‘

enough of being the goat for the board

of trade manipulators. Experience





seems to show that it is the custom of.





farmers to sell their products on a

falling market. If the farmer could be





assured’of a steady price, and know ,





that when he plants a crop or breeds

a herd of live stock, he could go ahead

at least with the certainty of breaking

even in the end, he would increase his

production and there would be food





enough for everybody, and the cost of \





living would be reduced to the con-

sumer.” -





 





IMPORTED BEANS MENACE HOME

INDUSTRY. ,





HE bean crop of western New



York, although ‘a smaller acreage

was planted than in several years, is

of superior quality and the yield is

fair. It will soon be ready for the mar-1

ket, but dealers say that if the govern-l

ment permits the Wholesale importad

tion of the Asiatic beans to continue it

means that bean growers in this coun-

try must compete with the foreign

product grown on 'cheap land and with

labor that receives wages of a few

cents a day. 'It is asserted that not-

withstanding the handicap of distance,

these beans can be laid down in this

country at prices that mean ruination

to the bean industry of western New

York and Michigan.



Bean growers and dealers in New

York state are indignant over the ac-

tion of the federal government in per-

mitting the importation of Asiatic

beans under a nominal import duty,

and the New YOlk Bean Shippers’ As-

sociation, with headquarters in R0-

chester, have received word from the

California Bean Growers’ Association

telling of the protest the California





farmers are making against the go‘v- .





ernment’s action. It is claimed that a

shipment of five million pounds of

beans‘have recently arrived from Jap.

an, to be distributed over this country.



The New 'York shippers are making

an effort to arouse farm‘bureaus and

other farmers’ organizations. to action





in opposition to this menace to the





bean" industry. The New York senators

and representatives will be asked to

act in having the wholesale importa-

tion of beans stopped.



Beans from the far east have been

imported into the United States in

small quantities for years, under a

‘high tariff which made it possible for

American farmers to raise beans and

secure a fairly remunerative price for

them. By the request of the Federal

Food Administration, Asiatic beans

were admitted at the rate of forty

’cents a hundredweight, or twenty—four

cents a bushel. Three years ago, it is

asserted, agents of the oflice of the

Federal Bureau of Markets were pro-

moting the use of the imported beans.

Then little attention was paid to this

activity, but with the war over nearly

a year ago, it is contended by the

home growers that thisltrade in for-

eign beans should be discouraged by

the restoration of the former ,tariff

rate. There is need for aggressive ac-

tion 0n the part of all the bean grow-

ers and shippers’ organizations in the

country if the bean growing industry

is to survive. E. E. R.

v , readers of the Michigan Farmer



, who 'will be intérested‘in duck

raising the coming season. Those who

have had no previous experience with

ducks should try to decide beforehand

what branch of duck keeping is to be

followed; 1. e... whether the ducks are

to be kept for eggs or meat. ‘



If eggs are wanted, the Indian Run-

her will be the best selection that can

be made. Those who wish to produce

duck meat should choose the Pekin.



We haveraised a grim! many differ-





ent kinds of ducks. And we wish to





state that the Pekin is by far the best

market duck that we have yet found;

because it is the largest, grows the

fastest and makes the best appearance

.when dressed for market. .

Then, too, the Pekin has 'a fine,

heavy coat of feathers that bring al-

most as high a price as the~best goose

feathers. As a rule, the feathers of a

Pekin duck are creamy white, espe-

cially if yellow‘ corn is fed. If white

cornis used, their feathers will be al-

most pure white. If they eat much

yellow corn their feathers will show a

rich yellow tint, Which,. however, is

very attractive. ,

Perhaps the worst fault the Pekins

have (if it could be called a fault) is

that they are enormous feeders. But

to offset this, they gain in. weight when

properly fed, in proportion to the

amount of feed consumed. No young

fowl will grow faster than a well-fed

Pekin. But they cannot be fed the

same as other fowls with any degree

of success. It seems to be a very com-

mon mistake among beginners to at—





mts on Pekin Du

In order tic/succeed with ducks, it



is necessary to have .eggs from strong,

vigorous stock. And‘ if eggs are want-

ed early in the season the ducks must

bewell cared for. That is, well-fed at

regular intervals and provided with 'a

dry, comfortable house to stay in at

night and during stormy days.

’ A thin Pekin duck will lay very few

eggs, while on the other hand a well-

fed duck will begin laying early, usu-

ally in March, and continue until late

in June. A duck usually lays an egg

every twenty-four hours, but will miss

a day occasionally, except in the fore

part of the laying season. ~



Duck eggs as a rule require about

four weeks to hatch. And they must

be fresh; not over one week old. A

duck egg ten days old is worthless for

hatching purposes. They may be

hatched with either incubators or

hens. If hens are used, only large,

quiet ones should be selected.



If incubators are used, be careful to

keep the temperature as even as pos-

sible, turning the eggs regularly, twice

a day. If the temperature rises to 104

or even 105 degrees during the hatch

don’t be alarmed, but be careful not

to let it go higher. And do not let the

little ducklings stay in the incubator

any longer than is necessary after

they are hatched. As soon as they are

dry, remove from the machine and

place in a brooder or in baskets close

to the kitchen range.



If they must be kept in a brooder at

first, see that there is good ventila-

tion. Don’t keep the ducklings con-

fined too closely ‘ and see that the

brooder is not kept at too high a tem-

tempt to raise ducks and chickens to-

gether._





It is not even advisable to keep sev-'





eral varieties of ducks together. Some

are very small feeders as compared

With the Pekins. ‘





For instance an Indian Runner duck-'-





ling will probably eat about one-fourth

as much grain feed as a Pekin. ‘But

place for ducklings except at first. We

refer to the ordinary make of brood-

ers. A duckling will sometimes pip

the shell twenty-four hours before it is

ready. to come out. But they seldom

need any help.

HERE are three c0mmunity fel-

lowships now operating in New



' York state. These fellowships



are groups of cooperating farmers who

make an agreement with the agricul-

tural college whereby the college fur‘

nishes a specialist with the necessary

equipment to conduct experiments and

.tests, while the farmers pay his salary:





. I ‘ provide the land for the laboratory and





assist "in its maintenance.



This fellowship proposition is most

efficient in results where the commu-

nity is specializing in growing certain

crops, providing an opportunity for

growers of special crops to determine

the causes of factors that are reduc-

ing their crops and- finding remedies

for their control. The fellowships al—

ready in operation are giving valua-

ble assistance to the farmers and it is

probable that others will be establish-

ed in the state.



The growers of celery, lettuce and

onions at Williamson, New York, have

a fellowship, established two or three

years ago, under the direction of H.

W. Dye, a plant pathologist who is in-

vestigating muck land crop diseases.



The effectiveness of formaldehyde

asfa means of controlling onion smut

is being demonstrated in a large field

of onions on one farm. One test plot

treated with formaldehyde yielded six

hundred and fifty—six bushels of onions

per acre, while the yield of the plot

where no formaldehyde was used was

"three hundred and fifty-six bushels. In

this test there was thirty per cent of

smut in the untreated plot and four

per cent in the treated plot. As there

have been no onions grown in the field

in nine years until this season, it is

plainly seen that crop rotatiOn is of

little value in reducing the amount of

smut in a field.



The formeldehyde solution was ap—

plied in the furrow with the seed at

the time of sowing. The solution used

rate of two hundred gallons per acre.

The application is made by means of

a watering device attached to the

Laéor Requirement for Beam





HE law of supply and demand may determine the

pl‘iCe of beans but the farmer is the one who decides

whether or not he will raise them. A careful study of





the labor cost in producing





beans may help some of the





bean growers to make their decisions.

In a survey conducted by the Farm Management De-

partment at M. A. C. there was found the average amount





of labor required to produce





an acre of beans. These fig-





ures will serve as a guide to any bean grower to work out

the required labor for his own farm.



Fifty-two farmers reported an aggregate of 781 acres,

or an average of fourteen acres per farm. The average

labor for an acre was distributed according to the follow-

The cost of producing beans is fifty to sixty per cent





labor, so that any practice that will produce the

yield per acre with less labor is an added profit to the pro-





ducer. Yield does not vary





same





directly with the amount of





labor applied because many other factors, ”such as disease

and poor soil, have as great an influence as cultivation

and it has often been the case that the expense of labor





on the crop can be lowered

Other eXperimental work being con.-

ducted by Mr. Dye in cooperation with

the vegetable growers are breeding im-

proved types of lettuce. potato and on-'

ion fertilization.



Once a year, usually early in Sep‘

tember, the growers hold a field day

and inspect the fields in which the

demonstrations are made.

many vegetable growers from other

parts of the state joined in the inspec-

tion trip and attended the meeting

held under the direction of the county

farm bureau and. local vegetable grow-

ers’ association in the afternoon. Ad-

dresses were made by Professor M. F.

Barrus of the Department of Plant





Pathology at Cornell University, Who'





spoke on the diseases of vegetable

crops and the need of a more system-

atic effort in effecting their control,

and Professor H.’ C. Thompson, of the

Department of Farm‘Crops at Cornell

University, who spoke on What the

college and the truckers can do in co«"

operation.





There are several districts” in New

York state in which lettuce is grown

in large quantities for the city mar-

kets. At present there is no central

organization to keep the growers post¥

ed on supply and demand andl‘fre-

quently the losses are heavy because

one market is glutted and there is a

shortage in another market. At this

meeting the lettuce growers took the

preliminary steps to form a central





. organization which will keep the grow—





ers in all the lettuce shipping points





informed on marketconditions -in all





the large cities from day to day, and

thus seéure a more systematic distri-

bution and prevent gluts and conse

quent heavy losses. E. E. R.





The Kind of Cattle the Buyers Like





HAT kind of cattle do buyers



want '.’. Answer this question,



and you insure profit, but neg-

lect it. and you lose money. The mar-

ket wants wide, well-fleshed cattle.

-With the buyers the main points are

to get cattle that are smooth, .well bal-

anced, with width and depth, and with

short heads and short necks. Not only

is this the kind wanted as “packer”

steers, but the same type is also want-

ed in the “feeder” steer class, because

this steer is needed only to grow into

a “packer” steer. The buyer of the

“feeder” steer wants the right kind,

not only because he knoWs what kind

‘_ of animal the “packer" steer should

be, but also because the right kind to

sell when finished is also the cheapest

kind to feed.



Starting at the front of the beast,

you want a short, wide head; a short

neck; smooth, well-fleshed shoulder,

and a well developed chest; with as

great girth as possible just behind the

front legs. The animal should not be

bare or shaggy in the back, nor should

_ the back nor ribs be covered by rough



, lumps of fat.

no, deep side to the steer. The buyer

By Ear/e





ity is a hard thing to describe. About

the easiest way to describe it is to say

that it is absence of coarseness. Buy-

ers look for fine quality, or absence of

coarseness, in the animal throughout

——not only absence of. coarseness in

the head, shoulder, along the back,

etc., but general smoothness and even-

ness of flesh everywhere. This, of

course, applies to the finished animal.

You will always find the packer pay-

ing the highest prices for good quality

animals.



The highest prices go to the man

who has a lot that is practically all

alike. Profits are not made on a herd

with a few well formed animals, the

remainder common or scrubs, for in

live stock sales, profits are not made

by attracting the eye of the buyer to

mountain peaks of perfection, for he

also sees the valley of inefficient indi-

viduals—sees this to the exclusion of

the better animals. And he pays on

the basis of the poor ones, too.



The most practical way of insuring

good stock, bringing a profit, is to head

the herd with good bulls. Get a pure-

cannot expect him to transmit that





‘Which he has not.





Passing through the stock yards

from pen to pen, we often compare a

couple of loads of steers. We can see

at once where one man has economiz-

ed, as he would probably call it, on a

bull. Probably he saved $50 to $150.

But in the next‘pen we see avherd that

economy—«that kind resulting in profit.

He used a better bull and realized two

dollars per hundred pounds more for

his stock, besides putting on two hun-

dred pounds more meat per animal at

the same age than the over economical

farmer. It would pay some breeders

to stay at, the yards and see these

things for themSelves.



And there are a lot of farmers los-

ing profits by underfeeding, as well as

improperly caring for them. No mat:

ter whether "feeders” or “butchers”

feed may be. ...



In supplying the market with hogs,

many breeders and feeders make the

mistake of thinking that carelessness

is excusable because “a hog is a hog,”

and will command the same price re-

gardless of quality. The first thing to

do is to see to it that. both the sow

and the boar are well built. Smooth

types of hogs that are in a healthy,

fleshy condition, and are neither fat

nor 'thin, Should be used; sows that

are too fat are inclined to be lazy, and

therefore do not get the exercise that

is necessary, while the sow that is

really thin, is naturally in a weakened

condition and healthy strong pigs can-

not be expected from her.

the Yorkshire and Berkshire are the

most desirable, or a good cross be

tween these should bring good results,

while for a shorter, fatter hog, the

should be fed a balanced ration regu-

An Old Fable That Proves a Big Fact





A certain man had several sons who were always quar- ‘ '

He bid them fetch a bundle of sticks and invited each '

in turn to break it across his knee. All tried and all

failed. And then he untied the bundle and handed them

the st1cka, one by one. They had no difl'iculty at all in

breaking them. " There, my boys," said he, ‘un1ted you

will be more than a match for your enemies, but if you

of the land in this region was original- ‘





ly tamarack swamp with a layer of

muck about twelve inches deep on top.





Formerly growers. got eight, ten and ,





twelve cents per dozen for their 091-,





‘ery, but it is a fact worthy of mention . i





that since the United States Bureau of

Markets has issued their daily mar-

ket letter and the celery growers have

received this regularly, the average

price per. dozen which growers have

sold for has gradually increased, until

now it is around eighteen 'cents.



“There never had been any accurate

tests made with'commercial fertilizer

until 1915. [The growers had gone

along without accurate knowledge or

the goods they have been using. _In

1915 the growers lost seventy-five per

cent of the crop, due to blight. When

the college was called upon to help,‘it

was found that these people were us-

ing large quantities of manure every

year, sometimes as high as twenty-

five tons per acre. In one instance

the fertilizer salesman had. advised the

use of goods, which would amount to

about $240 per‘acre. We advised him

to use acid phosphate, which he did at

a cost of only $30 per acre, with splen-

did results. It has been found in crop

rotation that when a crop of ’millet,

for instance, is plowed under, nitrifica-

tion takes place much more quickly

than is the case when the residue of a

corn crop is plowed under. The best

results are secured wheremanure is

supplemented with a good mineral fer-

tilizer as acid phosphate. The ma-

nure is not applied for-the amount of

nitrogen or potash it contains, but for

the fact that its application breaks

down the muck.





“Celery is a crop that requires mois-

ture and a constant supply of mois-

ture, which has been given by the un-

derlying muck. Below we have agreat

absorbent layer of peat. One of the

reasons that the celery grower does

not want tile drainage is because you

cannot get tile to remain in the place

where it is laid, as the action of the

frost causes the ground to heave, thus

displacing the tile. They are raising

two or. three crops a year, and they

want the moisture conserved. If they

underdrain too well, there will be

times in the season “when the muck

gets too dry, resulting in the loss of

the late crop of celery.”



An Indiana grower brought up the

matter of a disease prevalent in his

state, ”’“sick celery,” so-called. Mr.

Levin explained that this is a distinct

disease, and the fact that it occurs in

hot seasons bears no relation to'lthe

fundamental cause of the disease.

Many diseases, the ’ most notable in-

stance of which has been celery rot,

have been spread through plants sold

to all parts of the country from the

Kalamazoo region. It is impossible to

quarantine this district to prevent the

spread of diseases.



“Here is a region that has given Kal-

amazoo itsgreputation throughout the

country. These growers, all unorgam

ized, have had no way of arriving at a,

solution of their troubles. The col-

lege was called upon too late to help.

one to believe that the most success

ful poultrymen accumulate a variety

of equipment which they have found

profitable in carrying on their work.



Spraying the poultry houses is nec-

essary to keep down mites and lice

and this work is too expensive if the

poultryman has only a brush or small

:potato sprayer to protect several hous-

es. The small barrel sprayers which

can be wheeled into the houses are

useful. They will contain enough of

the mixture to do a thorough job in a

short time. Sprayers of this type can

also be used in controlling fungous

diseases and insect pests that injure

the ’i'ruit garden. They will pay for

themselves in a short time in spraying

shrubs, flowers, potatoes or grapes and

,at the same time they will be ready

for the never-ending task of keeping

the poultry houses in a sanitary con-

dition. - .



On the small poultry farm the

wheelbarrow is a valuable tool and

the doors of the house should be the

right width to permit the owner to use

it ins3de the houses. A wheel cart sim-

ilar to the illustration is practical for

hauling mash or green food from pen

to pen. Frequently the farmer will

have a pair of old wheels which can

be used in making a cart of this kind.

Its sa.es much lifting and many extra

trips in caring for large flocks of birds

and this is an important consideration

on a poultry farm.



Trap Nests Useful.



When the poultry farmer has pro-

gressed far enough with his flocks to

understand the fundamentals _of the

business it pays to install a few trap

nests and make an effort to develop

flocks of birds which are capable of

making fine egg records. The general

farmer has little time for trap-nesting

unless there is some member of the

family who will make frequent trips

to the poultry houses to release the

layers. However, when the business

, progresses far enough to make it a

ers can well afford to build or buy a

the results from their use‘will be a

great stimulation to the farmer's in-

terest in raising profitable poultry.

Feed hoppers are necessary to fur-

nish the birds with a balanced ration

and on many farms .there are no hop-

pers. The size and shape of the hop-

per can depend on the available mate-

rial at hand as this equipment can fre.

quently be made from scrap lumber

left over from other work. The hop-

per in each house should be large

enough to hold a week’s supply of

mash or more/ The “small hoppers

will often be emptied in a short time

and then if the poultryman is busy

they will remain unfilled for one or

more days and this is not conducive





. to the best egg records. Make the hop-





pers wide enough so that two or three

hens will not spend most of their time

there. to the exclusion of the other

members of the flock.



Small hoppers for oyster shell, char-

coal and grit are necessary equipment

in each poultry house. A large hopper

divided into three sections can be used

for this purpose. If the hens scratch

the material from the hoppers, place

short strips of wood across the front.

This will not prevent reaching into

the 'hoppers but it will keep their feet

out of the material and save more or

less waste. ,



SOme breeders buy the metal hop-





the birds healthy, that represents «.a

large part of the necessary prepara-

tion for success. Without storage room

and plenty of bins and a cellar for the

green food, the farmer faces a severe

handicap in the management of a

large flock. After visiting poultry

farms of many kinds, a farmer will

soon form the conclusion that the

proper equipment for feeding birds is

possibly the most important factor in

successfully managing the business.

Small bins 'in the poultry houses

can sometimes be used to advantage.

In the winter it saves time and hard

work if the farmer has a supply of

scratch feed in a handy bin near the

door of the house. Some breeders

speak very highly of the automatic

feeders which are now on the market.

The value of such equipment must be

determined by the farmer himself. 'It

does not pay to buy or make a large

amount of any kind of equipment with-

out first trying it out on a small scale.

No two poultry farms have the same





problems and the farmer can only find





by experience just the equipment that

is the most valuable in the manage-

ment of his farm.



Small wooden tables are useful to

hold the water pails and sour milk

crocks in a poultry house. They pre-

PLANT MANGELS FOR G'OWS.





 





N growing mangels some farmers

have found that itpays to plant

them early, at about the time that the

first vegetable crops are started in'the

home garden. This gives them a





chance to develop rapidly in the spring'





and make a large growth before the

dry weather of summer arrives to re

tard growth. When the summers are

cool it seems as if the growth of man-

gels is very slow. Last year we start-

ed some mangels in the early spring

and made another planting about six

weeks later. The first planting grew

rapidly and made fine feed for poul-

try. The second planting started very

well but was stunted by the cool drsr

weather and worth practically nothing

for feed.



The two most popular varieties ofl

mangels are the Mammoth Long Red

and the Golden Tankard. We have al-





ways been able to obtain the best man-'





gels from the Golden Tankard but pos-

sibly the quality of the seed may have

something to do with the results. The

Mammoth Long Red grOWs large and

straight and the flesh is white tinged

with pink, while the Golden Tankard

has a sort of [grayish flesh above

ground and the part below ground is

orange. In planting mangels the rows

should be two and a half feet apart

with the plants thinned until they are

one foot apart in the rows. As man-

.gels grow to a large size they require

much plant food and should not be

crowded. A sandy loam soil that has

been heavily fertilized, is good for

beets. If the cr0p is preceded by a

well cultivated crop, like corn or pota-

toes, it will succeed the best. Mangels

will often reach a large size, weighing

as much as twenty pounds, and a large

amount of green feed for the cows and

hens can be produced in a. small area.

RABBITS IN HUTCH‘ES.





 





Can you tell me how I can raise lit-





‘ tle tame rabbits and keep them shut





in boxes? The old ones run loose and

when the little ones first come from

the nests, the neighbor’s cats get them

and when I shut them up some of

them always die.

Wayne Co. _ E. T.



When young rabbitsare about eight

weeks old it is best to remove the doe





' to another hutch and leave the young





in their old hutch. Some rabbits can

be weaned at four weeks of age but

the best results come when; the young

are left three or four weeks longer

with the doe. The young can then be

left together until three or four months

of age, when it is best to separate the

sexes.



It pays to keep the young rabbits

enclosed in hutches to prevent losses

from cats or dogs. An outside exer-

cise yard is fine for the young; It can

be enclosed in fine mesh poultry wire





and a small trench dug around \the

outside and filled with stone will keep

the rabbits from digging out and other

pests from digging in. "



The best hutch for rabbits is two

feet wide, two, feet high and six feet

long. One-third of the distance is di-

vided off for a nesting place. Young

rabbits usually do well in such a hutch

allowing from one to six or eight in

each hutch, depending on the size of

the rabbits. An empty room in a. barn

or tool shed can often be turned into

a run for young rabbits. We have

seen betWeen thirty and forty rabbits

grown to market size in a room over

a woodshed. The floor was covered

with straw litter and the feed and wa-

ter thrown to the growing rabbits as

if.they 'were so many pigs in' a pen.

They thrived and did not die because

of the confinement. Of course, rabbits

in confinement are living under un-

natural conditions and it pays to keep

their hutches clean and sanitary.



If the rabbits die in confinement it

may be due to a lack of vigor in the

breeding stock ’or poor feeding meth-

ods. If the breeders are not of good

vigor it will pay to sell them for meat

Rabbits need fresh air and sunshine

and the hutches should _ be placed

{where the sun will Strike inside for at '

least a portipn of the day. Most breed-

ersseem to have the best success with

outdoor hutches. In the winter they

can be placed in an open shed which

SEEDING ALFALFA. ‘





I have about seven acres of gravelly

sand, fairly ‘good. Part of it is hill

land. -This has been in rye two or

three years. I would like to put alfal-

fa on this pic e, and would like to

know if I coud get good results if

sown now. Should it be sewn now or

with' other grasses or a catch crdp?

Would inoculation of the seed be

enough, or would the land have to be

inoculated also? How late can alfalfa

be sewn? I have heard that alfalfa

cannot be pastured, as it makes stock

bloat.

itable returns on a soil .too poor to

drained and not' too sour, it should

give" satisfaction with alfalfa; other-

wise, it will pay to put the field in

such condition before trying this valu-

able legume.



One cannot be certain of getting a

good catch of alfalfa when sown after

August 1. Later seedings may be suc-

cessful, depending on weather condi-

tions. At this late date, the risk is

too great to warrant taking a chance.

It ,will be better to wait until spring

and sow early with a light seeding of

some spring grain, or alone. If the

grasshoppers are had again next year,

the early sown alfalfa will be better

off than that sown in mid-summer.



Inoculation of the seed with a pure

culture obtained from the Agricultural

College is usually sufficient, and this

method is much easier than scattering

the inoculated soil. Either methodof

inoculation is useless on. soils which

are very sour. Have your agricultural

agent test the soil in this field for

acidity and» lime requirement. If lime

is required, it should be applied on the

plowed ground and worked into the

soil a considerable length of time be-

fore sdwing the inoculated seed.



With the same care that,one would

use in pasturing other clovers, sweet

clover excepted, he can also pasture

alfalfa safely. It makes an excellent

pasture. Duringthe years of its prime

alfalfa is too valuable for hay to, be





pas'tured much. Often, .however, “the

When the little ducklings get hun-

The brooder and duck~house floors

Young ducks will sometimes eat it.



If a considerable number of duck-

lings are hatched, several good, sub-

stantial duck-houses will be . needed.

These should be in readiness before

the ducks are hatched.



These houses need not be high, as

ducks sit on the floor at night, and, of

course, no roosts are required. A house

not be over four feet high in front. We

The pedals operate so gently that

'a tiny baby once crept up to the

Gulbransen and played it as shown

idea for our trade mark.





Elderly people take a keen delight

in this case of operation, and in the

simplicity which makes the playing

with expression so natural to you at

the Gulbransen.





The moment your feet touch the'

Gulbransen pedals you know you are

playing a better player- piano than

any you ever tried before. The Gui:

Pekin ducks as stated above, are

large feeders. But their food must not

be too highly concentrated. Bran is

an important factor in duck feeding,

but it should not be made the basis of

their grain ration. A good mixture for

EIGHBOR, let me aSk you a question.

Does poosting the price of a furnace $25 to $80

after it leaves the factory make it a better heating plant?





I don’t think it does. I think that $25 to $80

is as good to you as anyone else. And that’s what

I can save you when you get “A Kalamazoo Direct

to You.” Because you deal direct with the manu-

facturer. And no one can quote lower prices than

the man who makes the goods.

, HE otherday at a. primary elec-

‘ tidn I saw a well dressed, intel-

ligent looking lady come out of

the booth, holding her ballot in her

hand and looking helplessly first“ one

way then another, uncertain what she

should do with the important piece of

paper, now that-she had marked it;

and I could'not help wondering just

what sort of a time she had been hav-

ing in. the secrecy ‘of the voting place,

while _ she was struggling to do her

duty as a citizen. Did she have a

clear idea of what she ought to do, or

did she flounder about helplessly,

scarcely knowing what was the right.

thing to do? How much did she really

know about'the candidates 'for the var-

ious offices to be filled? Was she sure

when~she came out that she had done

what‘she set out to do?

Very many 'who have lately been

given the right to vote by the laws of

the states in which they live are just

as uncertain as was this good woman

as to the right and the best thing to

do, when it comes to the actual work

of exercising the right of franchise.

To the girl who goes for the first time

to the polls, voting is more or less a.

mystery. Girls have not paid much

attention to politics in the past, being

satisfied to leave the matter to their

fathers and brothers; but now that the

privilege has been granted them of

taking part in election of officers and

of expressing their opinion through

the ballot on the questions of finance

anything that seems like falsehood

when it comes to the issues of a cam-

should try to hear before she votes.

Then, too, one of the most satisfac-

tory ways of securing accurate knowl-

edge about the form of government

under which.we~ live, as well as of as-

certaining the rights, duties and priv-

ileges of all officers, is to get a good

book on civil government and study it

faithfully.

person, boy or girl, ought to have his

or her own copy of the book. No cit-

izen’s library is complete unleSS it has

in it a copy of some good civil gov-

ernment. This must not be consider-

ed simply as one more volume in the

library or as an ornament for the desk

or table. It must be used to make it

worth anything. Take it up a few min-

Ridgway of Montana, a Texas Ranger, Etc.

In an early issue ofthe Michigan Farmer.

and public economy, they want to do

their best and be sure that they will

make matters better, not worse. I

think, as a rule, almost all women

have that earnest desire in their hearts

to improve conditions and make the

world better. How can they be most

sure of doing this?



In the first place, there must be a

good, practical knowledge of the is-

Sues at stake before we can intellgent-

1y cast our ballots. A vote cast care-

lessly ,or ignorantly is 'a dangerous bal-

lot. Only the ballot which has had

the best thought of the man or the

woman who deposits it in the box can

be said to be for the good of humanity.

And there are several ways _of secur-

ing this close, definite information.

One is by reading reliable papers. It

is a pity we have to make this distinc-

tion. . All papers should be truthful

and unprejudiced, so that the reader

might always know when he reads

about men and things that he is not

being deceived. There are papers that

can be depended upon“. These ought

to be in every-home and read diligent-

ly and with an eye to preparing for the

greatest privilege ever yet given to

any man or woman—that of voting.



And then, one should hear what're-

liable men have to say as to the men

and the movements which will have

to be voted for or against at any given

election. Here cames in a grave re-

sponsibility on the part of those who

speak from the public platform in the





year. .It; may betoo‘zm'nc'm to expect

campaigns that come and go every,





that all men“ shall’be‘ so above the re,

. , .





 





After you «have done this and want

to have 30mg fun, just ask the men

folks who have been voting for years

to tell you what are the duties of juS-

tices of the peace or pound masters.

or supreme court judges. And see if

you do not send them scurrying to

some hock to post up. -gBut look out

that the joke does not come back on

you.



Probably the young folks depend

more upon the men of their own homes

for information along these lines than

they do upon anyone else. Home is

the great national forum in the United

States. There things which are of

public interest ought to be talked over

freely. All possible information as to

the men on the ticket should be ob

tained, so that you may know who is

most likely to be your best represen-

tative in the state, county or nation.

But have opinions of your own and do

not be afraid to stand up for them.

And remember, this, arguing a 'point

successfully is not disputing about it.

Keep your temper. Present your ar-

guments clearly but never get mad

and make a scene. When you do that

you place your cause in jeopardy.



And make yourself acquainted with

the machinery of voting. You may

some day be chesen an inspector of

elections or a ballot clerk or poll clerk.

’A copy of the election laws of your

state is a valuable book to have and

may be a companion volume to your

book on' civil gov‘ernment. And always

ly. It is theone great treasure fol-fly

A Name that Stands for Real Worth in

PIANOS and PLAYER, PIANOS





The executives responsible for Baldwin policy wish the ‘

name to stand for superior musical worth. Every Bald-

win workman is imbued with the thought that he is making

musical instruments. Art is the life spark of the Baldwin

organization ever urging it onward to the goal of satisfac-

tion in pianos and player-pianos.





But with this Art there is combined great industrial

strength, making for the most economical production.

Raw materials are bought in immense quantities and

therefore at the most favorable figures. Two immense

factory groups provide thclacilities for the manufacture

of practically every part, thus eliminating the profits that

the maker of an assembled instrument must pay to parts.

manufacturers. The Baldwin plan of selling direct through

exclusive Baldwin dealers does away with jobber and

other middlemen, placing the instrument in the home at

the lowest possible price.

cock, as peaceful a man as .the sun of

dog days ever. shone upon, save as his

periodical spells of insanity had their

inning, then it was, “Watch out for

Babcock'!” until the constablejcould

take him in tow. A short confinement

in the insane asylum and he would

come out perfectly sane until the evil





If a lone Woman was left on a farm

she hastily fastened doors andwin-

dows when the word went round that

Babcock had one of his spells. 'Rumor

had it that some lone damsels went

into sudden seclusion under the bed—-

this was not one of the occasions when

they said, “My kingdom for a man!”—

that is, if the man were to be John

Babcock. But, as a matter of fact,

Babcock, had never harmed a. woman.

He did, however, give good Deacon

Jones excellent marathon training.

This was the way that Deacon Jones

received his free training:



, Deacon Jones was making hay while



the sun shone—an innocent and alto-



gether commendable New England



habit that he had acquired in the days



of his youth.



But Babcock came down, like a wolf

on the fold,



To make a square meal of the deacon,

we’ re told.



Babcock grabbed a pitchfork, and

shouted, “You killed my grandfatherl’,’

The deacon paled. but did not wait to

be impaled; he saved all of his breath

for the marathon race that was staged

The good deacon

only ran for one reason—because he

could not fly. Dewn through the hay-

field they swept like a tornado, but

the"good deacon was seven lengths

ahead when he reached the haven of

the old farm house—his city of refuge

just then. “Yes, yes, it was quite an

episode, quite an episode,” he said to

the reporter of the Weekly Chronicle,





“Where is the wind when it is not

blowing?”



The answer is, of course, that there

isn’t any wind then.

this perfectly'we must study a little

and find out what Wind is. In plain

words, it is nothing more than mov-

ing air.



If you make a hole in the bottom

of a pail of water, thewater will run

out slowly. If you knock, the whole

bottom out of the pail ‘filled with wa-

ter, the water will rush out before

ypu know it.



That is about what happens to make

the wind. The air is constantly, full of

air currents, like the carrents you can

see in a river. Down the middle of

the river you may notice'a softly flow-

ing current going straight. Along the

shores, there will be little side cur-

rents going in all directions, and you

may find some, little Whirlpools. That

is exactly what we should see in the

air if we could see air currents.

"_quite a race. I beat him out, but it

was like the woodchuck who climbed

the tree—l Just had to!”



On another occasion, in one of his

crazy spells, BabooCk rode his horse





‘at full speed up the steps to the door ,_





of the village grocery, and straight

into the middle of the store, where he

brought his horse to a standstill, glar-

ed around for a moment, and then,

greatly to the relief of the awed pro-

prietor, rode out again at full speed,

clattering down the steps as if the

evil one was after him.



When in his right mind he was the

personification of good nature and was.

often the subject of jokes at the vil-

lage stare. On one occasion ’one vil-

lager dropped an egg, unperceived, in-

to Babcock’s pocket. Another young

man rubbed suddenly up against him

and an uncooked pocket omelette was

the result. “He laughs best who laughs

last,” and Babcock said nothing but

kept up a. powerful lot of thinking. The

next time the trick was tried he slip-

ped out the side door as soon as the

egg was in his pocket—this last ome-

lette was not of the pocket variety.

Did he not know on which side his

bread was buttered as well as did the

inmate of the insane asylum who was

wheeling his wheelbarrow upside

down. "What makes you wheel your

barrow that way; why don’t you turn

it over?” said an mquisitive visitor.

Babcock was a kind hearted, peace-

ful man; a good neighbor until one of

these spells of insanity said: “Presto

constable appeared he always went

along peacefully with him. Babcock

was a great horse trader and the con-

stable always invited him to,go with

him to see a horse. Babcock did not

The Reason Why





is uncovered the air rushes in and cre-

ates a wind in doing so. These air

currents are continually pressing

against each other to get some place

else. They change their direction ac-

cording to the pressure that is being

applied to them; Sometimes the pres-

sure will be very light in one part of

the air, many. miles away perhaps, and

then the air in another part, which is

under great pressure, will rush with

great force into the part where the

pressure is-light, and thus form a big

wind. When the pressure stops the

wind stops. ,



We have probably felt the 'wind

which comes out of the valve of the

automobile tire when the cap is taken

off to pump up the tire. It‘is a real

wind that comes out. The reason is

that the air in the tube of the tire is

under great pressure, and when the

opportunity is given to get where the

pressure is light it starts for’that

place with a rush and comes out of the

valve a-real wind

How to Select a Farm ' .v.

There are three vital things to consider in selecting an electric power

and light plant. lst-éMotor Efficiency; 2nd Vibration; 3rd—Lubrication. ,





The motor is the vital part of any plant. So look first to the motor. You

can judge motor efficiency by the smoothness and quietness of running.





Then watch for ruinous vibration. Any expert will tell you that severe

Vibration will quickly shake any motor to pieces—~shorten its life. Farmers

EE, but this has been a great

week for me, you bet!”



“Betcher life it has! ' I have

learned more this week at the, State

Fair than I ever knew before. And

that’s goin’ some, with all the experi-

ence I’ve had. And I’ve seen a lot, I

have, you betcha!" . .



The last speaker was not an old man

with toothless gums and a. bald head,

who was thinking of the days when he

was a kid, but one of the farmer boys

at the Michigan State Fair School. It

was the last day of their stay in camp

on the fair grounds and the two were

comparing notes, on the benefits which

had accrued to them since they left

their farm homes somewhere in Mich-

igan.



“I never dreamed I would beat the

rest of the bunch in that eighth grade

examination in my county. Dad and

mother both insisted I should study

hard and do my level best; and I

rather guess I did.”



“Oh, shucks! the examination was

not hard,” chimed in the other boy. “I

never expected to win out, and all our

folks and the neighbors were surpris-

ed like the dickens when they heard

l had won the trip to the State Fair

from our county.”



There were over six dozen of these

State Fair School boys camped on the

grounds during the week of the fair.

They had a choice location and occu-

pied twenty-eight tents set up on the

big square directly west of machinery

hall. In the center of the square was

the big assembly tent. The tents were

lined up along the south, east and

north sides of the square.



The Michigan Farmer touring camp

headquarters was located in the north-

west corner entrance of this square,

and the car, dining~room and sleeping

tents were lined up true with the boys’

tents. This corner really was' the main,

entrance to the boys’ school section

and was a popular meeting place for

the boys, the officers, and all visitors

who were interested in the Boys’ State

Fair School. The Michigan Farmer is

and has been greatly interested in the

plan which General Manager Dickin-

son worked out seven years ago to

provide this prominent, valuableand

eminently successful feature as an im.

portant part and parcel of the Mich-

igan State Fair. ‘



The boys came in Monday and that

evening, and by Tuesday morning

nearly every countyin both peninsulas

had a boy on hand inside the square

of white tents. Some boys came alone

not for worms, but to pick up the hun-

dre‘ds and thousands of pieces of pa-

per scattered the day previous over

their section of the grounds by the

thousands of Labor Day ’visitors at the

fair. _



These State Fair school boys had a.

fine time of it. They worked, and

played in a systematic manner each

day during the hours they were not

asleep in their tents. They had les-

sons, lectures, took part in the judg-

ing of live stock, saw many of the ex-

hibits and had many details thereof

explained to them.



One morning they went over to the

tractor demonstration ground and

heard several experts lecture on the

mechanism and principles of opera-

tion of gas engines, traction details.

plowing, harrowing, etc. No doubt each

boy departed for home at the end of

the week: knowing more about many

things connected with farm life and

practice on this mundane sphere than

they did before they bid their parents

good-bye the Monday previous.



One boy, Bert Whittaker, from Cal-

houn county, we had assigned to the

first tent next to our camp. He was

wide awake and on the lookout con-

stantly for any good thing that might

be useful to him as a. live and ener-

getic citizen. Bert heard something,

or at least was moved to look closely

at a. certain spbt in the grass one day

as he walked along, wishing he had a

little more money to spend. He spot-

ted arjive- dollar bill in the grass and

grabbed it before it could escape. It

must have had a good effect on Bert,

for he had a'smile on his face for a.

long time afterward. Other boys found

two and four hits, but not another five

stuck up around anywhere.

-wa‘a
How Did \Men Lea-M. Talk?)





TALKiNGi and ‘0 the-words used came





 





into being. through ‘,the desire 'of

men to communicate with each other.

Before words became known and .used

man talked to those about him by the

use of signs, gestures, and other move

ments of the body. Even today when

men meet who cannot talk the same

language they will be seen trying to

come to an understanding by the use

of signs and gestures and generally

with fair results. The need of more-

signs and gestures to express a con-

stantly increasing number of objects

and thoughts led to the introduction

of sounds or combination of sounds

made with the vocal cords to accom-

pany certain signs andgestures. In

this way man eventually developed a

very considerable faculty for express-

ing himself. Sign by sign, gesture by

gesture and sound by sound, language

was slowly developed. A man would"

be trying to explain something to an-

other by sign or gesture and to make

it more clear would make a sound or

combination of sounds to put more ex-

pression'into his efforts. Finally the

other man. would understand what was

meant and he would tell someone else,

using the same signs, gestures and

sounds. Later on it would develop that

to express thus any certain thought,

act or the name of a thing, all of the

people in the community would make

this same combination of sounds, signs

and gestures to express the same thing.

Finally the gestures and signs would

be dropped and it was found that peo-

ple understood perfectly what was

meant when only the sound or combi-

nation of sounds was produced. That

made a word. All the other words

were made in the same way, one at a

time, until we had enough words to ex-

press all the ordinary things and the

combination 0f words became a lan-

guage. The children learned the lanj

guage by hearng their parents talk it,

and that is how men learned to talk.

ROBABLY no other animal so

nearly approaches man in point of

intelligence, and to outwit a wily

fox the trapper must be on his guard

and ready with new methods. The fox.

like the ’coon, is' not strictly a carniv-

orOus animal, and will feed on apples.





grapes and other fruit. His chief diet,





however, is birds, rabbits, mice, fish,

frogs, eggs and poultry. The red fox,

which is by far the most numerous of

the species, dens in rocky bluffs, and

in sections where there are no rocks,

burrow in hillsides.



The standard No. 2 steel trap with

double springs should be used when

trapping the fox, though the No. 1%

used for ’coon and mink will usually

hold him if the chain is fastened to a

heavy drag instead of a stake. If the

traps are buried for a few days in hen

manure, the odor of metal will be re-

placed by one more attractive to the

fox.





The water set is simple, and may be.





easily managed by the inexperienced

trapper. Early in the season this

method may be followed most any-

where, but after ponds and streams

freeze over, a spring at least four feet

in diameter must be found.



The trapper should use rubber boots

and wade in some distance above or

below where the set is to be made.

Place a large stone or chunk of wood

in the water about eighteen inches

from the shore, so that a few inches

will show above the surface. Half

way between this and the shore the

trap should be set on a flat stone or

mound of earth so that it will be half

an inch under water. On top of the

trap place some moss or a piece of

sod, but not enough solid material to

clog the jaws when the trap is sprung.

This should be made to resemble a

tuft of sod or a moss-covered stone.

Place the. bait on the large stone farth-

er out. In order to reach it, the fox

will step on the tuft over the pan of

the trap, and land a foot between the

jaws.



Water should be thrown over any

thing on the bank that may have been

touched by the hands. 'If the trap





could be set where similar tussocks of





sod already eXist, the fox is not so

likely to be suspicious of changed sur-

roundings. Instead" of using a stone

or chunk to put the bait on, a bird

may be stuck on the end of a stick

which is thrust into the mud till the

bird appears to hasten the water. No

part of the stick should show.



If you have‘ever noticed a fox run-

ning across the country, you have

seen him run upon a fallen tree or

along a rail fence or over a mound in

order to get a better view of his pur-

suers and the land ahead of him. He

will do the same thing when he catch-

‘es a scent in the woods, and this sug-

gests a place to set traps.



Take a live chicken, preferably a.

young rooster that is fond of hearing

his own voice, put.it in a coop and

hang it in a tree about six feet from

the ground, where it is hidden by the

lower limbs. If a fox should be prowl-

ing about within a quarter of a mile,

he will either get the scent or hear the

rooster crow, and will at once begin

an investigation. The fox will suspect





a trap, and will be too cunning to ap-.





proach closer than twenty or thirty

steps, where he will get on the highest

point he can reach, and regale his nos-

trils with the pleasing odor of chick-

en. If there should be .a fallen tree,

a large stump or a high knoll any-

where within a hundred yards of the

bag. a trap should be set on all such

places and well camouflaged. It would

be well to set these traps two or three





was the military instructor. Lieut.

Jones‘has been on this“job for seven

years, with the exception of last year,

when he was in France. He is one of

the best officers for such a job we ever

met. The boys all like him and he

has tact. ‘gumption, ability ‘to impart

instruction to the minutest detail, and

secure ready obedience and respect

from the boys every day and hour.



We noticed several boys one morn-

ing watching the Goss Company men

driving a big tent stake. They had

never seen five men pounding a stake

at once and their eyes stuck out aolit-

tle bit. ' As that company furnishes

the hundreds of tents used on the fair

grounds and puts up e'the boys’ tents

every year, we took the opportunity

days before putting out the bait. 01'

course, these traps with chain and

drag should be hidden, either by cov-

ering with earth or if an a log or

stump, by burying it in a deep notch

cut for the purpose and covering with

rotten wood. . ,



In a settled country the fox does not

fear the humanT scent,-‘and Will 'follow

a trail where a man‘ has passed but a

short time before. When there is a

deep snow on, trails that have been ‘

tramped out will be followed by the

fox, and if traps are set in such, trails

at night, and lightly covered with snow

there is a good chance to take one or

the animals. While a fox may follow

your trail, he becomes suspicious when

you turn in your tracks. When the

trapper has made a set, he should con- ,.

tinue on as if he had merely stepped ‘ ‘

for a moment. When visiting your

traps go only close enough to deter-

mine Whether or not the trap has been

sprung, and pass on without turning.



Do not depend on one or two sets

just because they happen to be good

ones; but try different methods and in

different places. Very 'much like men, ,

foxes differ in their individual views '

as to what constitutes danger.



The fox should be skinned in the

same manner as the mink by cutting

down the back of the hind legs, and

peeling the skin from the legs and

body so that it resembles a long pock-

at with the flesh side out. Stretch

thus with the flesh side out over a

board of suitable size and shape. and

with a dull knife remove surplus fat

and flesh by scraping from the tail to

ward the nose. ,Let the skin dry in

the shade where the air circulates

freely. When dry, turn the skin with

the fur side out, and do not pack them

in the same bundle with the skins of

‘minlc and skunk, which have the flesh

side out.

My First Day at School.

Hurrah! September the second was

here again.

The day before was Labor Day and

I had a lot of fun riding on the ferris





wheel and the ocean wave and going ‘





to the side show, etc., but I am always

glad when school begins again.



I live just outside of the city limits

of Sturgis, Michigan, but I and my two

sisters have always gone to the town

School. This year I am entering the

eighth grade. We have a fine school

building. It has just been built about

two years and it has about thirty-five

rooms.



Eight-thirty found everyone in their

seats and gazing around at all the new

things.



We went to the auditorium for chap-

el, and our kind professor told each

grade where their new session rooms

and class rooms were.



I have four teachers and take his‘

tory, arithmetic, grammar, spelling,

music, and we are reading Longfel-

low’s Evangeline, which is very inter-

esting. -



We went to the wrong session rooms

a few times, but that didn’t matter be-

cause everyone did that.‘



We then went home to a good din-

ner which made us feel better. We

came back in the afternoon and got

pretty well straightened out and ac-

quainted with the teachers and. pupils

and our lessons assigned. Presently

the piano began to play and school

was dismissed for the first day.—Mi1—

The First Day of School.



My first day of school was full of

fun, as it always is. We were glad to

see our old schoolmates again. Our

teacher was the-same as we had last

year. We hadn’t seen her since last

June. When we all got to school she

called school to order. Since she was

the teacher we had last year she knew

more about our ways. She called the

school first. She had us give the flag

salute. After that she asked us if we

cleaned our teeth; about one-half .did.

I was one that did. We had some of

our books there so we had some les-

sons in them. Last year she had three

girls in the fourth grade. They pass-

ed into the fifth grade. She 'calls them

fourth-graders. We correct her this

year, when last year she corrected us.



When school was over we hurried

home to tell our mothers about the

school and about the improvements.—

she’ll only get married and there’s all

that money thrown away.





This is your line of argument. But

what of the child?

fectly contented with the very, very

little bit she knows? For the work in

the eight grades is really not even a

drop in the bucket. Is she perfectly

satisfied with the future you have

mapped out for her—to stay at home

and help mother until some boy asks

her to marry him and she goes into a

home of her‘own? Or has she ideas

of a life a little fuller than one con-

cerned merely. with material things,

money, clothes and food? Does she

love books, pictures, music? Has she

a mania for taking care of sick folks

and animals?





Has she been “nagging” you to send

her to high school so that she may be





she ambitious for something outside

the kitchen? Of course, we want her

to know all about home-making, but

does she crave something more?



And is her expressed desire for high-

er education based on a real desire for

knowledge, or does she just want to

go because her chum is going and they

can have a gay time in town, free from

parental eyes? If she is sincere in her

desire, what are you going to do about

it? Are you going to arbitrarily re-

fuse her the opportunity, because you

never cared for such things yourself,

or are you going to give her all. the

help you can to improve her God giv-

en talent? Are you going to let her be

herself, help her to be“herself, or are

you going to force her into a mold of

your liking, a life of material things,

the making of money, cooking of food,

things entirely of the earth earthy?





Is she to grow into the sort of wom-

an God meant her to be or the sort or

woman you think she ought to be?

Isn’t she entitled to a choice of the

sort of life she’ll live? After all, she





 





will have to. live it. You may die in

spoiled her life. Will you die more

Cold Water VS. the Doctor





3W people realize the value to the



general health of the habit of

drinking plenty of pure fresh water.

It is said that to make up for the

liquid waste of the body, about three

pints should he drank every day.



Often one will get up in the morn-

ing with a dull headache; the digestive

system is in some way out of order.

Often a glass or two of water will in

a little while relieve the trouble. Again

in the morning the stomach is full of

mucus which makes it unfit for the im-

mediate reception of‘ food. This muc-

us would only mingle with the food

and" hinder digestion. ,A glass or two

of water, drank on getting up, will

wash this mucus out of the stomach

and leave it ready for breakfast. And,

by washing out the system daily, it

will surely prevent headache and de-

rangement of the liver and kidneys.



It is said .that the sipping of hot wa-

ter has a most beneficial effect on the

heait action and that it regulates the

flow of the-bile. But, especially in the

hurried American life, early in the

morning very few people have time to

sit up and sip at a .cup of hot water.-

Busy people will surely never adopt-

this habit; there is too much pressing

to be done. .





Neither should the water be amt .

and music for her children. Will it be

better for the children. to hear Bee-

thoven or ragtime? To hear the grand

old music, or “I’ve, got the alcoholic

blues?” Won’t you feel prouder to

have your grandchildren choose such

works as Shakespeare than to have

them turn to “Deadwood. Dick?" Is

money wasted which helps a girl to

make better men and Women out or

her children?



If you want a more practical reason,

there’s the very good one that every

girl should be able to earn her own

living before she is allowed to get mar-

ried. If she eculd,'there would be few-

er widows left stranded. Just a typi-

cal instance. There’s the college

beyond the eighth grade, she’d only

get married. .But this particular girl

knew how to handle her father and

she got her education. Then she got

married, just as he said she would.

But shortly after .the arrival of her

only son the husband contracted tuber-

culosis. If father had not educated his

daughter hewould have had the three

to care for. As it was, the young wife

went into the school room, cared for

her husband .until his death, and is

now sending her boy through the Uni-

versity. Father admitted several times

that his judgment about educating

girls was not of the best.



If your boy or girl shows talent,

help bring it out. Give them their

chance now, rather than an inherit-

ance later. We can’t take material

things into the Beyond, but the things

of the spirit live always. That is part-

ly what Christ meant when he said,

“Lay up for yourselves treasures in

Heaven." ~ DEBORAH.

activities from time to time to take a

FEEL that the time is mest mo-

mentous in the dairy industry, that





dairymen generally must meet a. con-

dition that is going to require their

best thought, skill and patience if they

hope to surmount the difficulties and

emerge unscathed from the present

embarassing conditions.





The times are momentous. We all

feel uncertain of the future, and while

we may express opinions of the rosy

outhok and may congratulate our

neighbor upon his future to keep our

own courage up, the fact remains that

each one of us is in a. peculiar state of

mind. I am not prepared to say what

the cause is, but it is a fact that we

feel uncertain, we are worried, and the

more we read the newspapers and see

what is going on the world over, the

calamities that are anticipated, and

the unfortunate industrial unrest that

is in existence, we wonder what the

future has in store for us. The more

we think and [the more we try to solve

it, the less we are satisfied.





The government through its repre-

sentatives, and the states through

their representatives, have seemingly

satisfied themselves that the whole

trouble grows out of the high cost of

living, and their whole effort is ex-

tended to reduce’the price of food pro-

ducts notwithstanding the fact that

the world is short of food, it is only

good prices that stimulate production,

and I am afraid of thereffect on pro-

duction of this persistent and every-

where present effort of reducing the

price of what.the farmer has to sell.

I believe we must forget their agita-

tion and lend every possible effort to

increasing the acreage of food plants

in Order that the world may be fed,

and that the unrest may not be in-

creased by a scarcity of food.





The pure-bred dairy live stock breed-

ers, and the dairymen are perhaps the

most affected by the present condi-

tion of mind of the conSuming public.

People cannot realize" why milk should

be fifteen or eighteen cents a quart.

who bought it five or six years ago for

ten or twelve cents a quart, notwith-

standing if they are wage earners they

are getting two or three times the

wage they did, and, if they are mer-

chants they are receiving several

times the profits that they previously

received, and I am at a. loss to under-

stand how it is going to be possible

for the dairyman to produce milk and

sell it to the distributors for $3.50 to

$5.00 per hundred if he has to pay

from $45 to $55 a ton for bran, $85 to

$90 a. ton for cottonseed meal, $100 a

ten for oil meal, and other feeds in

about like proportion. I can remem-

The great bulk of the public who la—

and they are spending it like drunken

men are largely engaged in the same

practice. and then wondering why the-

prices are so high when the producing

ability of the country is less than nor-

mal. Some' claim that it is the tre-

mendous redundancy of currency and

of credit that makes the high prices,

others that it is the scarcity of prod-

ucts, but the fact remains that it is.

the unchecked demand of every per-

son to gratify their then present de-

sire without any regard to the'cost or

the effect it has upon prices. I am

thoroughly convinced if every man.

woman and child would only buy what

it was necessary for him to have for

reasonable comfort, it would not be six

months before prices would be reduc-

dairy products; we must realize we.

are manufacturers as well as breeders

of pure-bred live stock, and dairymenn

that milk, butter and cheese are the

products we are engaged in manufacu

turing, and we must use machinery,

that is the most economical in the pro-

duction of it. In those early days

when bran was $8.00 or $10.00 a ton,

corn thirty or forty cents a bushel,

and oats twenty cents, you could use.

machinery that was wasteful in its

manufacture, you could use a scrub.

machine called a dairy cow that could

only turn out twenty pounds of milk a.

day at her very best, and with the.

verylow prices of products and the.

very low price of labor, the loss might,

not be so apparent, but the man who.

feeds an inferior milking machine, the.

ordinary wasteful scrub ‘cow, cotton~

seed meal at $85 a ton, cornmeal at,

$75 a ton, and bran at $50 a ton, will

go busted if he keeps very many of'

that sort of machines in operation. In

my opinion there is no excuse for ask-

ing the public to pay prices commen-

surate with a profit, or even the cost

of production of milk under such con-

ditions.

Friesian Association, who is greatly in-

terested in the subject and has done

a large amount of research work along





stein-Friesian Association an article

based on the experience of the Michi-

gan Agricultural College and the agri-

cultural colleges of other states in ex-

periments of improving the dairy

herds by the use of pure-bred dairy

sires, and I am sure that all dairymen

will be interested. I make this proph-

ecy that that experience will show that

the third pure-bred cross has resulted

in the production of a ‘machine of

twice the productive ability as the or-

iginal scrub from which the breeding

started, and that the cost per pound

of milk, or per pound of butter, have

been reduced by more than forty per

cent. This seems to me now to be the

duty of every dairyman and of every





breeder to take up, interest himself,,





and help bring about a condition that

will make possible the production of

these necessary dairy products at the

lowest possible coSt to the consuming

public. I made a prophecy at the state

meeting of ‘those interested in animal

industry, at Indianapolis a year and a

half ago, that the farmers and dairy-

men would be the first persons that

would be calledupon to reduce the

cost, to reduce the price of their prod-

uct, and one of the orators, a gentle-

man very high up in the federal gal-

axy of administrators, scouted the

idea that there would ever be a time

when there would be any thought of

reducing the price of the products of

the farm and the price of, farm foods

because of the great demand there

was for them. Notwithstanding that,

in the state next east of Indiana—

Ohio—they have had the dairymen in:





attempting to work out aplan to more





economically handle their products by ,





making it pessible for one representa-

tive to bargain for the product of'the

many in marketing the milk. There

were none of them astute politicians,

who thought it was worth while to

take up the question of profiteering in

the foods those people had to buy to

feed their cows. I will venture the as-

sertion that in the state of Ohio, as in

Michigan, they are not averaging to

pay over $2.10 for wheat, notwith-

standing the price is $2.26 fixed by the

government. I will venture the furth-

er assertion that the dairymen of the

state of Ohio are paying on an aver-

age $50 per ton for bran when the

price was fired 'at $27.50 by the federal

government at the time the govern-

ment Was handling the

flour products.





It would seem the only thing that

the city man can interest himSelf in is

\the Cost of milk for his children. He

will pay $80 to $100 for a suit of

clothes for himself to wear, like he

used to buy for $35, and his wife will

pay $100 for a gown that she used to

buy for $40, but when it comes to milk

for the children then the wail comes

forth, a mighty noise is made, and it

is the dairyman who has to bear the

brunt of the. onslaught. The man who

gets up at four o’cloCk in the morning

and works until dark, or as much long-

er as his strength will permit, with his

family largely his only.assistance,»has

VER 38,000,000 acres were added last year to produc-

tive acerage of American farms, in spite of the great

shortage. of labor. .A twenty-billion dollar crop was raised.





The factor largely responsible for this remarkable showing is the

farm tractor and power farming machinery.

the farm dependable power, requires attention only when in use,

accomplishes far more work in less time, and is capable of being

used 24 hours a day every month in the year, if necessary.





The part the Hyatt bearings have played in producing this remark-

able farm power unit, has been to provide an efficient and life-long

protection for axles, shafts and other points of wear.

make possible the delivery of more power at the drawbar and belt,

at a‘saving of fuel and never require adjustment.





Hyatt bearings are now being used in nearly all of the best tractors

built, in threshers, grain-binders, plows and other farm machinery,

enabling them to provide a vitally important contribution to the

making of a still greater agriculture.

, Growing I Onions on Muc1<





County Tell: "me/1 Grower: a":





Recent 'Natz'onal Convention How He Produce: Big Onion Crop:





' DO not want you to take what I



am saying too seriously, as I am



just an old farmer who has improv-

ed eighty acreg of swamp waste on

which I have had very good success

with onions. ~



Soils that'are suitable and profit-

able for commercial onion growing are

the ones to be considered. I will con-

fine myself to muck soils. Muck soil





“varies more than upland in its compo-





sition as it is built up of various spe-

cies of vegetation and sediment that

has beencarried on to .the lowlands by

water. The subsoil has in a. great

measure a great influence. on the com-

position of the surface, as the'under-

soil to a certain extent contains craw-

fish All muck soils look alike and

that is the joker



In looking over different onion areas

for the last three years, I found good

onions just here and there. In some

places even where the culture was

poor, good onions were obtained, and

in other places failure was the result

of good care. This has brought me to

the conclusioh that two-thirds of the

onion acreage is planted on soils that

will only give good yields in favorable

seasons, and the most scientific and

painstaking culture will not bring suc-

cess on lands of poor structure and

physical condition, to mature 350 to

400 bushels to the acre in dry seasons

and from 600 to 1000‘in favorable sea-

sons. There are plenty of the better

lands in the Great Lake Basin.



My System of Cultivation.



I clean up all trash left on the field

as soon as possible after onions are

harvested, then plow, using a. good

jointer to get the top soil well under,

so as to bury as many insects as pos-

sible. The ground is made firm with a

heavy roller and this isfollowed with

a leveler, as onions do much better on

level ground. This saves work in the

spring. Drag the land in the spring as

soon as the frost is cut tWO or three

inches. The soil loosened will usually

freeze again nights, but this will have

a wonderful effect in making the soil

fine and fluffy. Frequent working has-

tens the frost out of the ground, and

early working when the muck is moist

helps to pack the soil. A firm seed

bed should always be the aim for any

crop on muck. When the frost is out

put (on the fertilizer and thoroughly

work it in. I practice putting on one

thousand pounds of ten-ten phosphate

and potash to the acre, to be followed

by dressings of nitrate of soda later in

the season. >



After this is done roll and level

again, and in case there are sticks and





' other rubbish on the field it should be





hand-raked, for- it is necessary to have





the ground free from everything that ,

_ will obstruct the drill or other tools.





Now stretch a wire across the field

and stake it, and after it is stretched

snap it a. few times and it will make a

perfect line. I use a small roller made

of an eight-inch pulley with handles.

This is weighted and I use it to run

over the wire. When the stakes are

removed, together with the wire, a dis-





. . tinct harrOw mark is left to drill by.





The seed should be carefully tested

before planting. and if ninetyper cent

germinates quickly, and. the seed is: in





perfect condition an’d‘the drill distrib-,





ute‘s ,evenly,'~ twb, pounds of" seed is





 





plenty to the acre. But you must be





.from (“the





 





sure that the drill is serving evenly





and that the seed is good. If you are

not sure, it is wise to use three

pounds. Onions should stand from six

to nine plants to the foot, depending

upon the variety of onions. Three or

four days after seeding I drag the field

with a small drag pulled by hand, the

teeth being made of twenty- penny

spikes and so arranged that they can

be set at a desired slant.

can easily ,drag four acres a day. By

going over the field‘both ways with

this drag before the sprouts get start-

ed on the onion seed, the weeds that

would appear at the time the onions

get above ground will be destroyed.

As soon as the rows of onions can

be followed, cultivate with a'wheel

hoe, with knives set as close as pos-

sible without damaging the young

plants, follow this with a. drag cross-

ways with the teeth set at an angle

that- won’t drag out the plants. This

will remove the crust in the row and

destroy the small germinating weeds.

This should be repeated in a few days

before the onions get so large that

they would be broken down. Aim to

stir the ground often to destroy weeds

before they become noticeable. This

is the cheapest and the only way.

A Point in Running the Cultivator.

Suspend a sack between the handles

and sew it up in order that it will not

swing with the motion of the cultiva-

tor. Comp’el the operator, even if it is

yourself, to pull all the weeds‘ that the

cultivator misses. These can be put





into the sackand dumped at the end,





of the field. It will surprise you how

soon the operator learns to catch most

of the weeds with the cultivator. If

the culture is carried on properly,

there Will be no necessity for resort-

ing to general hand- weeding. I want

to impress this idea of weeds. Fight-

ing weeds on moist muck is like fight-

ing fire-—it must be done quickly.

There are people who can not learn

to cultivate until they are able to see

weeds to kill. such people will alWays

have weeds and have trouble. '

About the time the bulbs begin to

form we shove dirt to them. It seems

to keep the’plants growing longer, and

we get larger bulbs. 'It protects them

sun, thereby preserving

their quality and color. Onions ex-

posed to the sun become changed in

texture very simiarly to the way a po~

tato changes when it is exposed to the

sun. Consumption is lessened with

inferior quality, and since demand and

consumption go hand in hand, the de

mand for inferior quality is decreased.

Increased demand‘caused better pric-

es. It is the rubbish that is thrown on

the market that takes the profit out

of the business.

Keep up cultivation as long as pos-

sible. If bulbing properly the leaves

will alternately and freely break away

from the main neck and form layers





on the bulb. When the loWer leaves-





die without parting at the base it sig-

nifies that corresponding layers are

not being formed on the bulb, and the

tendency is that the bulb is becoming

a scullion or bottle-neck. This may be





caused by the lack of available plant ’





food.



This is the critical period. I saw

seventy-five to one hundred pounds of

nitrate of soda to the acre and work





up a godd dust mulch even if it is use , '

essary. to do it with a narrdw, etragght. ,_ .

covered with boards. After two or [mum





three days, we run them over a one

and five-eighth-inch screen and place

them in the storage bins with the tops

on. Onions will not keep well if top-

ped before the 'neck is thoroughly

shriveled so as to close out the air

. and keep fungus molds from getting

in. They. should not be left on the

ground to cure any length of time, be-

cause dampness causes the bulbs that

are ripe to start a second growth.

This will not be noticeable for some

time. By cutting onions that have been

allowed to remain on the ground a

small green second-growth can be de-

tected. Bulbs may look sound and

sell, but if they are allowed to remain

on the ground they are sure to sprout

within a few weeks. No process of

storing except solid freezing will keep

these onions, and even then when the

frost comes out, the sprouts will start.



Onions must be handled with care.

A bruised onion will always try to re-

produce itself and send out a second

growth. The chief cause of the un-

sightly onions seen in a grocery store

is due to poor handling.



For the storing of the onions we

have been using a long, narrow, V-

shaped building. The sides of this

building are made up of a series of

lapping doors. In pleasant weather

these doors are always kept open so

as to give ventilation, while in cool

or damp weather they are closed. Our





bins are enclosed with chicken wire ,

instead of slats. This permits a freer ’





ventilation and is cheaper.





In the winter the lapping doors are

covered with peat. Due to peat con-

taining about ninety per cent of water

which freezes in the winter, the house

is practically enclosed in ice. Thus

an even temperature is assured for the

winter and the onions can be easily

kept until along in May when they are



almost certain to bring a fair price.





VEGETABLE GROWERS’ MEETING.





 





(Continued from page 412).

Kalamazoo have never taken up the

possibilities of cooperation with the

celery growers, and the result is that

large buyers from other Michigan cit-

ies, and even from New York, have

come in to control the celery market.

It is unfortunate that, due to various

causes, Kalamazoo celery is losing its

reputation on the market.”



In the discussion which followed, it

was brought out that the best seed

now obtainable comes from France,

but in this country owing to labor con-

ditions, we cannot afford to use the

labor necessary to care for the crop.

Delegates also discussed the charac-

teristics of various celery varieties.

The golden varieties seem to be in the

greatest demand, and if a grower does '

not have to contend with celery dis-

eases in his soil, there is a splendid

opportunity to grow the golden varie-

ties. Mr. Levin closed the talk by ad-

vising growers not to buy plants from

the Kalamazoo region, owing to the

danger of the spread of root rot.

THE KIND OF ANIMALS THE

BUYER WANTS.





 





(Continued from page 406).



ed pastures, and at all times plenty of

room should be allowed for hogs that

are maturing. It is a mistake to think

the hog should be closely confined in

order to put on meat.‘ In the winter

warm, dry shelter should be provided

where possible, and plenty of clean

straw kept on hand to bed the hogs to

keep them from getting stiff or rheu-

matic.



Feed the hogs until they weigh

around two hundred pounds as they

will then command the best price, and

at no time should hogs be marketed

until they weigh at least one hundred

and fifty pounds. Hogs that are light

or thin and unfinished sell from one to

three dollars per hundred pounds un-

der the price of “select” hogs, and in

most cases are bought to go toother

farms

means the first feeder pays a high

price for his one hundred and fifty

pounds of meat while the finisher pays

but little to add fifty to seventy-five

pounds.



A leading buyer for a large packing

house recently said: “I will say that

the packers and butchers want most,

and are willing to payvthe most for,

well finished, smooth. high—yielding

hogs, and the more care given in the

(raising and feeding of hogs, the more

they will bring on the open market.

and that the whole matter can be rem-_ f

. ”edied by education, and by education



alone. It is not because the city man,

{whether banker, professional man, or.





mechanic, wants to be unjust or wants

to“ be unfair. It is because he is not,

informed. and does not know anything

about the conditions that confront the,

producers of fond.



, I Shall :be very glad indeed to have

some practical dairyrnan, or some

breeder of registered dairy stock, ad-

vise me how it is possible to make,

milk at $4.00 per hundred, pay the

wages they have toKpay now,,and buy

bran at $50 a ton and cottonseed meal

at $85 a ton. Still there is not fifteen

per, cent of the farmers or dairymen

of the United States who are getting

anywhere near $4.00 per hundred for

their milk. 7





What I fear is discouragement on"

the part of the dairyman, and I be-

lieve, men, that the only thing in the

world for you to do, if you have not

the best machinery for producing milk

then breed into better machin’es. It

may take a few years but this strug-

gle is going to last for several years,





- and we will all be in better condition





to meet thedemand upon us, when we

are in possession of and operating, the

most economical and efficient machin-

ery for producing our products.



You may say it is a difficult and ex-

pensive problem for you to grade up

your herds, that you have to pay trej

mendous prices for pure—bred dairy

sires, but such is not the fact. I will

venture the assertion that a great

many carloads of pure-bred registered

Holstein-Friesian bull calves can be

purchased in the eastern dairy states

at a very low price because there are

as many bull calves born as heifers

practically, and there is only a demand

for about one-twentieth as many. The

surplus in thousands of cases is used

for veal because the breeders are not

equipped to raise the calves, and be-

cause in certain localities the great

bulk of Holstein-Friesians are bred and

raised by dairymen. They use them

as milking machines and they want an

outlet for the bull calves. A county

agent in the state of New York could

interchange views with the county

agent in Kansas and arrange for pick-'

ing up and transporting a carload of

calves that would be a credit to the

dairy industry and at the end of the

third generation would increase be-

yond your wildest expectations the

production of your herd. The same

thing would be true between the coun~

ty agents of New Jersey and Pennsyl-

vania with Missouri and Nebraska. It

is simply a question of getting busy

and not talking about it but doing

something. It does not cost any more

to raise this pure-bred bull calf after

you have him than it does a scrub.

There have been a great many pure-

bred aged bulls 0f the Holstein- Frie-

sian breed that. sold as beef in the

last year and a half for more than

$150 so you would have something'in

the end to‘count on to pay you back

for any small investment that you

made at the outset to improve your

own factory production.

What would the earning capacity of a Brook.

We have several that we are oflering at pricerwhich

appeal to the small breeder who must of necessity

be a conservative buyer. We have a few that are

good enough to be used in high class herds at

prices in keeping with their in individuality and

breeding. Money invested in a good herd boar

very speedily increases the value not only of

what you sell but what you keep. Send for price

SECOND EDITION.





The‘markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday af-

ternoon, October 2.





WHEAT.





A further decline in the foreign ex-

change rates and an order to cancel

sailings of ships now in America for

Europe have resulted in general bear-

ish feeling throughout the grain mar-

kets. Notwithstanding this, however,

wheat prices are firm and quoted a

cent higher than those ruling a week

ago. The visible supply of this grain

in the United States shows an increase

of 3,695,000 bushels the past week.

One year ago No. 2 red wheat sold on

the local market at $2.22 per bushel.

Present Detroit prices are:



No. 1 red ............$2.26

No. 1mixed OOOIOQOOO.‘..2024

No. 1 White OOOOOOOOCCOOC 2.24

No» 2 red-00.00.000.000. 2.23

No. 3 red ...... 2.19





CORN.





With a large amount of grain for

the 'United Kingdom waiting at the

seaboard, and with the new loading

of vessels prohibited, it was impossi-

ble to hold prices. It is known, how-

ever, that the derangement is merely

temporary, and that as soon as the

grain can be moved the demand should

be keener by reason of this interrup-

‘tion. The visible supply of corn in-

creased 300,000 bushels the past week.

It is reported that new corn is being

purchased in Indiana on a $1 basis.

Eastern buyers are taking advantage

of the cessation of foreign shipments

to lay in their supplies for the coming

winter. .One year ago No. 3 corn was

quoted on the local market at $1.35 a

bushel. At Chicago No. 2 mixed is now

quoted at $1.411/2@1.4214; No. 2 yel-

low at $1.411/2@1.45; December at

$1.261/2; May $12414. Trading in De-

troit is a little firmer on the following

basis:

Cash No.3 ..... .........$1.49

No.3 yellow............ 1.51

No.4 yellow............ 1.49

No.5 yellow............ 1.48





OATS.





Oat values are up from the prices

quoted a week ago but the weakness

noted in corn is reflected here. Some

foreign buying was noted in Chicago

on Menday, presumably for export to

countries where labor difficulties have

'not paralyzed traffic. The visible sup-

ply of cats in this country decreased

675,000 bushels during the week, a bulu

lish factor in our markets. A year ago

standard oats were quoted at 721/2c.

Present Detroit prices are:



No. 2 white 74

No.3 white .........72%@73

No. 4 white ....... ..71%@72





RYE.





This grain is steady at the higher

figure quoted a week ago. At Detroit

cash No. 2 is quoted at $1.42 a} bushel.





BARLEY.





Dealers through the state are hand-

ling some barley, although the volume

is relatively small. The Detroit board

quotes the grain at $2.40@2.50 per

cwt. for cash No. 3.





BEANS.





A very quiet market for the new

crop of pea beans prevails. Dealers

contend that it is impossible to sell

the product at this time and conse~

quently they are obliged to reduce the

quotations. During the past week five

million pounds of foreign beans were

received at San Francisco for distri-

bution in this country. There is a

general demand among bean growers

in the important producing states for

tariff protection to prevent the de-

struction of the bean industry through

competition with cheaply grown prod-

uts from the Orient. In New Yerk

choice pea beans are quoted at $8.25;

do common to fair $7@8 per cwt. At

Detroit the market is active and there

is a fair demand, immediate and

prompt shipment being quoted at $7.15





per cwt.

fine middlings $65; coarse corn meal

- EDS





A considerable volume of seed is

now being moved, and the market is

active and steady. In Toledo prime

new seed is quoted at $29.80; alsike at

$26.50; timothy $5.70. At Detroit the

prime red clover is quoted at $29.50;

alsike $25.75; timothy $5.50.





HAY.





The local hay market is firm and

the product is in good demand. Offer-

ings are increasing but shippers com-

plain of a scarcity of cars. Quotations

are: No. I timothy $29.50@30; stan-

dard $28.50@29; No. 2 timothy $27.50

@28; No. 1 mixed $24@25; No. 1 clo~

ver $24@25.



Pittsburgh—Clover and clover mix-

ed hay is exceedingly scarce while all

other grades are readily disp0sed of

on arrival at top prices. Quotations

are: No. 1 timothy $30@31; No. 1

light mixed $29.50@30; No. 1 clover

mixed and No. 1 clover $31.50@32.





POTATOES.





The potato market situation is some-

what-mixed. At Detroit the trade is

operating on a lower basis with the

demand and movement slow and the

market weak. Michigan round whites

are, selling here in 150-lb. sacks at





$4.00. In Pittsburgh the market is

unsettled with Michigan stock at, $4.50

per 1504b. sack. A steady market pre-

vails in‘ New York, while in Philadel~

phia the demand and movement are

good and the market stronger. Cleve-

land has a weak trade with Wisconsin

stock held at $4,40@4.50 per 150-lb.

sack. In Chicago there was a brisk

demand on Wednesday with the trade

strong and prices steady. Wisconsin

round whites are selling there at $2.40

@250 per cwt.. In Minnesota farmers

are receiving $1.95@2.10 per cwt. for

white varietiesdelivered at side track.





BUTTER.





A general advance is noted in butter

prices since aweek ago. Supplies are

less liberal, especially of the higher

grades. At Detroit the fresh creamery

stock is now quoted at 5715c. and

the same grades inone-pound bricks

at 57%@62c. In Chicago the trade is

unsettled, with creamery stock bring-

ing 49@621,éc.- The New York trade is

firm with the range from, 54@65c for

creamery grades, while Philadelphia is

buying western creamery extras at

65c per pound. l





CHEESE.





No important changes are noted in

the cheese market, in fact the tone

appears steadier than a week ago. The

Canadian markets have been export-

ing, and prices are higher and gener-

ally above the British commission’s

25c bid. At Detroit Michigan flats of

WOOL





The receipts of wool at Boston show

a steady gain for the past several

weeks in arrivals of both foreign and

domestic shipments. The total re-

ceipts, however,’since January 1 are ‘

8,121,568'lbs. below that for the corres-

ponding period in 1918. Medium wools

are a little easier, while the urgent

demand of manufacturers for the best

stock keeps the latter wools firm to

higher in price. At the London Wool

sales prices advanced fifteen per cent

above those of the former series, these

prices breaking all former records.

American buyers were active in these

sales. Arrangements have been made

through the British government for

the sale of 50,000 bales of Australian

and New Zealand wools in Boston

by auction during December. All fine

wools are firm on a steady basis. Half-

blood fleeces are quoted at 81c in Bos-

ton, and fine unwashed clothing ‘at 72

@73c; fine unwashed delaine at 83@

840 per pound.





GRAND RAPIDS





Sales of timothy seed this fall have

been the largest in several years. The

two inches of rain recently enabled

farmers to seed many acres. Little or

no- clover has been sown, due to the

extreme scarcity and high prices. Re-

ports from all sections in western

Michigan are that the clover seed crop

is a failure, due to the dry weather.

The price of potatoes declined to $1.35

last week, owing to the great quantity

shipped in from points 60 miles distant

including Greenville, which in former

years has been a potato market. Even

the price of $1.35 a bushel, equivalent

to $2.25 per cwt,~is abov! the paying

price at outside points of $1.90@2 per

hundred. The Michigan Potato Asso-

ciation has issued a statement that the

late crop will fall 4,000 cars short of

last year, ’due to weather conditions.

The estimated shipment this year is

7,000 cars. There was -a further de-

cline in the price of Michigan white

beans to growers to $6.25 per hundred.

in Bloomington, Illinois, recently, was

considered a success. Prices paid were

not high, but they were as good as for-

sale opened with 115 horses and 75

mules offered. . A Chicago man bought

the highest priced horse for $245, and

the highest priced mule was sold for

advanced better than three cents since

last Saturday. While there has been

some gain in quotation of medium

quality goods it has not-been in the

same ratio as for extras or higher

scoring butter. Established quotations

at the close Friday were as follows:

Extras 62c; higher scoring than ex-

tras 621/2@63c; firsts 53@6lc;'second_s

50@'52%c.. .

Cheese—While warehouse statistics

show better than 12,000,000 pounds

more cheese in storage than this time

.last year the market seems to be gain-

ing strength. Local demand through-

out the week has been strong. Re-

ceipts, however, have been less by

about 5,000 boxes than for last week.

There is practically no export demand

but it is very apparent that local con-

sumption is considerably above nor-

mal. Quotations are as follows: COHI',

mon to good 2663,291/20; average run

30@30%c; specials 30%@31%.c.

Eggs—Egg receipts have decreased

very materially during the past week.

Undoubtedly that is due to the natural





decrease in production at this season!





of the year. The’quality of stock be-

ing received continues poor and there

is scarcely enough high quality stock

among the arrivals to meet the de-

mand. Values have increased some-

what during the week, especially those

:of high-quality stock. Medium to un-

dergrade eggs have moved very slowly

duringr the ,week. Quotations are as

follows: Firsts 53@56c; extra firsts

57@590: extras 60@610.

Poultry—The first part of the week

witnessed a considerable activity but

because of the Jewish holidays the

business decreased very markedly. Re.

ceipts were less by about 50 cars than

those of last week. Quotations are as

follows: Chickens 31@33c; fowls 32

@35c;' old roosters 190; ducks 35@v38c.





VETERINARY.





 





Rheumatism—I have a brood sow

that raised a litter of pigs ready to

wean. A few days ago she went lame

in one hind leg and then in a day or

two it shifted to the other hind quar-

ter. Now it seems to affect her all ov-

er. Our local veterinary thought it

was caused by feeding too much skim~

milk. '0. W., Morley, Mich—Your sow

suffers from rheumatism and she

should be kept in‘ a dry, comfortable

pen. Give .her 19 grains of sodium





salicylate and three grains of potas- '

slum iodide in feed three times a day.

Cannibal Sow.—-I have a-~thorough- ;





bred sow that had a litter of 12 pigs.





She killed and ate all‘but four. The =

last one was three weeks old when ~





she devoured it. Is there any preventa-

tive? E. O. L., Wayne Co.—Many dif-

ferent theories are advanced as caus-

es for sows eating their young. such.

as feeding her an unbalanced ration,





vegetables ”and roots. Sows suffering

from high temperature, becoming de-

lirous, frequently eat their pigs while

deranged. It is also claimed that sows





fed much »meat during pregnancy de- ,'





velop anappetite for flesh and when it

is not supplied devour their offspring.





Capped Hock—I have a two-year-old .





filly which has capped hook, and I





would like to know the remedy fer this .





ailment. L. R.. McMillan, Mich.——.In

the treatment of capped hock it is well





result of a bruise, and, of course, if

you know the cause it should be re-

moved, in order to prevent future trou-

ble. Apply equal parts tincture of

iodine and spirits of camphor every

day or two.

prove the Larro-feed guarantee.





Ifyou aren't getting more milk than you were

before or if for any other reason you are dis-

satisfied take the two empty sacks back to

your dealer and your money will be refund-

ed immediately.





This Guarantee Hao Stood Back

of Lana-feed for Seven Years





This is the same guarantee of more milk

which has stood back ofLarro-i'eed for seven

years. To the man who is not yet a Larro

user it is an absolute promise ofbetter results

from his cows—to the veteran Lnrro user it

is double assurance that Larro-fced today is

the same no it was it the beginning—that

its quality will never be changed.





You get more milk with Larro-feed because

DEALERS: The same

guarantee whit:

your customers means

more sales for you.

Write for detailed

proposition.





First carefully record the production of the cow for a week. Next begin to give

her Larro-ieed (slowly at first allowing her a week to gradually make the

change) and after that make another record of her production—comparing the

total with the figure established before you started feeding Larro!

The cows like Leno-feed because it's pala-

table—tastes so good—and it's so digestible

that an unuoually high percentage is utilized

in actual milk production.





See the Larro-feedDealerat Once





The Larro-feed guarantee means just what

it says—.you get more milk or Money Back-

and the Larro dealer is ready to supply you

at once. No matter how much milk your

cows are producing on their present ration,

Larro-{eed is guaranteed to make them pro-

duce more. If your local dealer does not

have Larro-feedin otockwriteus for complete
