.4- VOL. CLIII. No. 17 : Whole Number 4068 DETROIT, MICH., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1919 gggFgRgtgtkg WHEN DAY DROPS ITS CURTAIN HERE is something about the end of a day on the farm , that helps and rests and comforts the tired man or woman who will take the time to give it play in the soul. We do get weary, even though our work does lie amid so much of beauty. Things press hard all through the day. We must be busy as long as the sunshine lasts; but when night comes on, and we have rounded _up the labors we took up so bravely in the morn- ing, a hush comes over the earth. If we will let it do so, that calm will find its way into our very souls and cure many of the aches that have come with the passing day. We look out over the old farm, think what we have been do- ing through the day and ask ourselves if it has been done the very best we could do it. That is what tells the story of a really happy, successful life. To do every day’s task so well that we have nothing for which to be sorry when night comes. For sometimes we get in a hurry; we skip over little details of our work. We fret too much. And the hurry and the Worry cause us to leave a partof our duty undone or slight it unduly. Has that been so today? Sitting here in the twilight we take saner, more sensible views of life as it ought to be. We are sorry we made the mistakes. We resolve that we will do better on the marrow. We rise from our evening trysting with the great quiet all about us, stronger to will and to do. Blessed be the evening time of the farm. a .0 e "“"'.’“7" ' " ’: . 1‘ centspef Wand china beans T33 .

But it is a bear influence which is reflected in the current price for - the product and is thus worthy of con- sideration. To recapitulate, the California hold- over, the Japanese product in our mar- ket, and in foreign markets which we have previously. enjoyed, notably the West Indies, the lack of a foreign out- let, and the slowness of the domestic demand are all bearish influences'to which credence must «be given in judg- ing fairly of the outlook for the future. On the other hand, we should not for- get that these factors have already been discounted in the present market price, which is a reassuring factor. To be weighed against these bearish influences are the following bullish fac- tors: A probable shortage in produc- tion which will largely offset the hold- over in California; an almost certain improvement of domestic demand when the trade is convinced that the market is on a stable level; a possible foreign outlet of considerable magni- tude when the peace treaty is finally consummated and foreign credit stab~ ilized, and a chance of some increase in the duty on foreign beans. It is to be hoped that these factors may balance each other in a way to stabilize the market at a compensatory price to bean growers. In the absence of a concerted attempt on the part of bean dealers —to thus stabilize the mar- ket, this function must be assumed by- growers if at all. VThis can be accom- plished, if at all, by conservative mar. keting throughout the season. There is little doubt that speculative influ- ences can temporarily force prices down to an unprofitable level to grow- ers. The burden of decision as to when that point is reached and 'when . it would be better to hold the product in the hope that more stable conditions may prevail rests with individual grow- ers. We shall attempt from week to week to give the most accurate infor- mation obtainable regarding the fac- tors which will influence the future of the bean market, that growers may the better judge for themselves the wisest course to pursue.

F. Cox LL Wolverines take great pride in knowing that in automobile pro- duction, and furniture manufac- ' turing Michigan leads the world. Most , Michigan folks: are pleased with the knowledge that when it comes to pro- ducing beans“ beets and Holsteins, Michigan is near the top. Some take peculiar pride in our variety of. pro- duction and like to point out that, in addition to taking no odds from our neighbors in out-put of copper, iron and lumber, we can make them all “take our dust” when it comes to pep- permint oil, chicory, and fibre flax. Only a few comparatively, realize that in the production of farm seeds Michi- gan has no peer among her neighbors and is excelled only by California in ' variety and extent of her seed busi- ness. Michigan-grown seeds are held in high regard for their high vitality, yielding ability and purity. A number of seed companies are lo- cated in Michigan who have developed a highly organized trade, firmly estab- lished and of, long standing. These companies require large buildings for storage and expensive cleaning appar- atus, grading machinery and a large staff of workers to prepare seed for shipment. A remarkable development has been made in the handling and dis- tribution of seed in the past few years. In the case of seed growing there has also been marked progress, but since the growing of seed is the basic proc- ess in the production, the greatest fu- ture improvement in the seeds sup- plied by Michigan can be accomplish‘ ed through greater care in selecting varieties, cultural methods, harvesting and storing so as to keep pure and in good condition. Some of the larger 'seed companies own and manage ex- tensive seed farms, but a much great- er amount of seed is grown by farmers on contract. It goes without saying that the pro- ducer of high-class seed must be an excellent farmer and should be situat— ed on land which will produce seed in good condition. He will need in addi- tion to the ordinary equipment of the good farmer a high- -class fanning mill to clean his seed grain and proper facilities for preparing for shipment. He must understand the methods of controlling diseases and insects. It is of the utmost importance that he be equipped with the very best land-fit- ting and weed-controlling implements and he must realize that work spent in rogueing out grain mixtures and weeds by hand, particularly from the grain fields, is time profitably spent. By the development of the Michigan Crop Improvement Association in Michigan, an organization of farmers interested in crop improvement, through better seeds and better meth- ods of production, Michigan’s position ' as a seed state has been still further advanced. This association has been the greatest factor in increasing and distributing the varieties produced by the college plant breeder and high- yielding varieties from other sources.‘ The associationfs greatest success has come through the distribution of the Rosen Rye, which has made Michigan well-knoWn thrdughout rye-growing section's. It is doubtful that if ever before in the grain-growing history of the United States a cereal variety has ‘ rapid and spectacular spread as has been the case with this ' high-yielding rye. Not only in the gage; - .ot the rye, but to a large degree with , ' _ eats, wheat, corn and beans the asso- v,- ‘ The; made such .. g as met with success. Michigan Crop Improvement Associa- tion is based on the careful inspection made by a staff of trainedinspectors of a number of fields each year to es- tablish the purest sources. This in: spection makes exceedingly difficult the sale of weedy or mixed grain, or grain in impure conditiOn as “inspect- ed seed.”' A very considerable busi- ness is done by this association direct from producer to censumer ‘though a number 'of the members-accept con- tracts from seed companies who have found that their special training and increased interest as members of The Michigan Crop Improvement Associa- tion has made them more valuable as seed producers. One of the largest markedly increase. It is usual to plant fifteen to twenty pounds of vetch seed with a bushel of rye in growing for seed. Most large seed companies, and numerous grain dealers are equipped with vetéh separating machinery. ' The production of sweet clover seed has proven profitable in many instan- ces, particularly in western and north- western Michigan. The first crop for hay should be removed at a high enough distance from the ground to. ~leave asufficiently long stubble growth for a good second growth. Sweet clo- ver buds from the stem and about a foot of stubble should be left to insure a number of branches. Mammoth clover is so nearly like Good Seed and Good Soil Insure Bumper Crops. fields open to association members is in supplying the. general seed trade with high-grade seed. Opportunities in Seed Business. Michigan’s reputation as a seed state has been built in the past chiefly on the production of seed potatoes, seed oats, field beans, peas, buckwheat, Mammoth, Red and Alsike clover and on such vegetable seeds as radishes, peas, tomatoes and vine seeds. There awaits a great opportunity in seed pro- duction for any farmer properly. situ- ated Who will make a careful study of the handling of Seed and properly util- ize his knowledge. In the past five years a very considerable industry has gr own in western Michigan in the pro- duction of hairy or winter vetch seed. Michigan is the leading state in the Union in the production of this seed and very likely to continue to lead for a number of years. Russia is at pres- ent no longer in position to furnish vetch seed and very probably'will not compete for some time. Michigan seed is proving to be so superior that for- eign seed will be accepted with some difficulty once home-grown seed is thoroughly established on the market. Vetch is being used very largely in southern states as a green manure and forage crop and the demand will very red clover that the two cannot be sure- ly distinguished on the market and there is great confusion due to this fact. There is an; excellent opportu- nity for a farmer who will develop a reputation for the production of Mam- moth seed of high quality, guarantee- ing the variety. Red clover seed production offers an exceptionally fine opportunity for good returns. The prices which have pre- vailed during the past year are likely to continue. Michigan is not produc- ing enough clover for its own needs, let alone enough to ship to other states, hence, if a great number are to have clover seed, we must harvest our own this season, even thoughgit yields but a half bushel per acre. In the production of red clover for seed the early cutting of the first crop usually insures a much larger seed crop, owing to the fact that the midge is controlled and a longer season is given for the seed crop to develop. Early clipping or pasturing pays. In the production of Mammoth clover seed, as in the case of alsike, the first crop is taken for seed. _Occasionally a second crop comes which is worth handling for seed, at least under pres- ent conditions. Clinton county is Michigan’s leading clover seed county, selection indeed; is.Nccegsa1-.y to Secure a. Uniform Stand. though the highest yields per acre are 1' reported from the northern Michigan, . lands. The use of lime and phosphaté, . ‘ light dressings of manure and early' spring planting on firmly compacted, well prepared beds are practices rec- ommended to increase seed yield. Clo- ver seed production should pay a very good profit for the man who is in p881- tion to extend this business. Alfalfa seed has been produced com- mercially to a limited extent in south- eastern Michigan during the past year. The work of Plant Breeder F. A. Spragg, of the Michigan Agricultural College, has shown that high yields of alfalfa can be secured from carefully selected strains of northern origin. Several pounds each of these selected strains haVe been distributed to a num- ber of counties to be planted in rows twenty-four inches apart at the rate of two pounds per acre. Much more will be known in regard to alfalfa as a. seed crop in Michigan in a few years. Seed Corn Production. Since corn is the most adaptable and changeable of all the crops we grow it is apparent that the corn question is largely a local one. This versatile plant adapts itself to varying soil and climatic conditions, and for best results each locality must develop its own strain. There is therefore, a good opportunity in practically every Mich- igan township for a local seed corn grower who will give considerable time to the careful improvement of corn, to selection and to the proper storage of cars for seed purposes. Field selec- tion insures the gradual improvement of corn and at the same time provides the likelihood of its proper storage. A seed corn storage room or drying house with free ventilation and arti- .. ficial heat should be part of the equip- ment of the man who gives his time to seed corn production. Wide-spread de- velopment of local corn men following improved methods of seed selection would do more to increase the produc- tion of corn in this state than any oth~ er factor. The best silage corn is produced from varieties which will reach the dented and glazed state of maturity. For those desiring a fairly large—grow- ing type of corn for ensilage, Southern Michigan corn makes an excellent sil- age variety in central Michigan, and central Michigan varieties give good results several counties to the north. There is room for a considerable de- velopment in this practice to the exclu- sion of red cob lensilage and other large southern and corn—belt varieties. Increasing Michigan’s Seed Business. Without doubt better methods of production, including the planting of the best variety on properly prepared, fertile land and the use of proper seed cleaning, harvesting and threshing ma.- chinery will go far toward increasing crop‘ production in Michigan. Outside of this state, however, there is a great market readily available to Michigan seed producers. Higher‘standards in production and distribution will cause a rapid increase in this out—of—state de- mand. The seed grower receives a. price sufficiently above the usual mar- ket price to make the business well . worth while. The seed producing business, from the standpoint of interest and opportu- - ‘ nity offers a splendid field and will give full play to the highest type 915,” mental and physical ability.

Cook, County Agricultural Agent ' for Oakland county, conferred with a. group of prominent farmers in Addi- son township on. the organization of a. cooperative buying and selling associa- tion. _ “Nothing doing” Was the greeting Cook received. “Why, you’ll never get the farmers up here to back up a. prop- osition like that. They’re the deadest crowd anywhere in the county.” However, knowing this territory was almost solidly devoted to agriculture it was decided by the Michigan Farm Bureau membership campaign organi- . zation that if the drive was started there it would show conclusively whether the farmers of this state were alive to the need of organization to promote and protect, their interests. Wednesday, October 15, the drive started. Six solicitors started out in Addison ,township and signed up nine- ty per cent of the farmers there. Some men approached wanted to pay on the spot for three years’ dues. Others wanted to put $50 and $100 behind the Michigan State Farm Bureau move- ment and when told that one $10 mem- bership was all that a man could have, they took out memberships for differ- ent members of their families. One farmer, seventy-fiv’e years old, who has lived all his life on the farm, told the solicitor who visited him: “I’m glad to see the farmers of the state waking up. It’s time. Every other in- dustry is organized and we’ve got to do the same, unless we are going to be satisfied to be the hound dog for ev- erybody to kick around.” i FEAR BEAN IMPORTS FROM JAPAN. FOR the protection of American bean growers from Japanese im- portations, passage. of a bill imposing a duty of from two to four cents per pound was urged recently before the house committee on Ways and Means. Aaron Sapiro, attorney for the Cali- fornia bean growers, was the chief wit- ness. He said that beans were being brought in in increasing numbers, the most of them being shipped by Japan- ese merchants from Japan, Manchuria, China. and Korea. He said that the beans cost the Japanese merchants about $1.50 a bushel and were sold in this country just under the ”American market prices, prices in the United States having averaged about $3.50 during recent months. The pending bill introduced by Rep- resentative Osborne, of California, im- poses a duty of two cents a pound which would amount to $1.20 a bushel. Mr. Shapiro said, however, that ade- quate protection would not be furnish- ed the domestic industry unless this were made four. cents per pound or $2.40 a bushel. As a result of the Oriental importa- tions, Mr. Sapiro said the acreage in California and elsewhere is being ma- terially curtailed and the Japanese are getting into a position to dictate bean prices in America.

POOR' caors IN— EUROPE. R. LIPMAN, director of the! New Jersey Experiment Station, who returned recently from a three-month study of the soil and fertilizer condi- tions of Europe, has a large fund of first-hand knowledge on the agricultur- al situation in France, England, Belgi- um, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Den-e mark and Germany. “Farmers were complaining in both France and England that the dry and cold weather early in the season had caused the worst crop in thirty years. However, I observed on some of the larger farms in England and Scotland fields of Wheat which averaged fifty- six bushels to the acre, and in France there were some which averaged forty bushels. The large farms in Europe are, on the whole, better managed and more progressive than the small farms; the small farmer is much poorer than the small farmer in America; the farmhand there is of a lower order of intelligence than the hired man in this country. He is much more poorly paid and is practically without education.” “The tendency of all these coun- tries,” Dr. Lipman remarked in speak- ing of-Scandinavia, “has been to speed up production. There seemed to be plenty to eat in Denmark, but in the short stay which I was permitted in Germany, I observed that food 'was both scarce and high. ” The high cost of feeding stuffs for dairy cattle is one of the problems which is menacing Europe. With lin- seed oil meal at $120 to $125 a ton, the dairymen in France have been keeping their cattle mainly on pasturage. Dur- ing the coming winter this will result in a. shortage of milk, with consequent suffering, especially of children. FOOD CHEAPER, SAYS PALMER.

Nevertheless, during his sixteen years of management he has shown what any young man of ambi- tion and ability to use his head can do at the present time. “Live stock has always been our keystone,” said Mr. Millan, “and from the stock that was on the place when I started it has been possible to work up the herd that you see here now. _ I .bought a pure-bred Hereford bull the second year, but it was not until 1907 that I purchased the first pure-bred cow and more have been added until at the present time we have nothing else except some stock picked up in the neighborhood, that I am feeding for market. . - “There was a, small flock of sheep on the place to which I paid no spe- cial attention except by using pure- bred rams and generally improving the quality of the flock by selection of the better ewe lambs as future breed- ers. At the present time our fifty ewes are all high-grade Shropshires which I hope to replace with pure-bred stock when I see my way clear. “We planned the busineSS on the whole farm with the cattle and sheep as the axis. Each and every other en- terprise has a certain relationship to the live stock industry although we do riot depend entirely on our live stock receipts for the farm income. We sell some wheat, but we use the straw for the cattle. We raise some beans each year as a cash crop but the bean straw is also good sheep feed and we cash in on that in terms of mutton. The whole rotation is planned to meet the needs of our stock. This is because we find that "the stock can market the crops most efficiently and take the least fer- tility away from the farm of any sys- tem returning equal profit”, Mr. Millan went on to say that he spent several years in‘ getting his farm arranged into fields of the proper size and number so that a short rotation First year, silagewdrn; secbnd year, cats, barley .and beans; ». p ’ third year, wheat seeded‘to red clover; - fourth year, clever hay, would‘rotate «aimgmgrjordelr.

The balance or 198.8 pounds of nitrogen, 53.2 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 174.1 pounds of potash is fed to the live stock of which approximately seventy- five per cent of the nitrogen, fifty per cent of the phosphoric acid, and eigh- ty-eight per cent of the potash is re- turned in the barnyard manure when drawn directly to the land each day or stored in a concrete manure pit and not allowed to waste by heating. The increased value of the manure due to the feeding of some purchased concen- trates together with the commercial fertilizer and acid phosphate used on the crops each season more than makes up the loss of fertility sold in the form of stock and crops so that the farm is really gaining in fertility in- stead of being depleted as is so often the case on many of our farms. Care of Stock Funnishes 'Work in Winter. “Idle labor has no place on this farm,” says Mr. Millan, “we intend to have everyone happy if there is any truth in the saying that a busy man is a happy man. By the time the crops are out of the way in the fall it is time to get things ready to go through the winter and when snow flies we are fortified, with no rush to get things in shape the last minute nor do we have to~ put up with temporary arrange- ments which are expensive under any circumstances.” This is a very important factor in good farm management. Labor is the biggest item of expense on any farm. Whether real in the sense that it is hired labor or is the farmer’s own time there should be be something to show‘ fOr each day’s labor expended. When the work is allowed to pile up at any particular season and. idle periods ap- pear at others, profits will decrease ac~ cordingly. This does not happen on Mr. Millan’s farm and the size of his labor income is the best indicator that he has paid censiderable attention to ‘ ' Wemmmem; .g.-.‘ , 31 2% red .M ”022014 ~ day “The power that liberates me from all the fatiguing work of washday.

Ihe Heart ’ had always thought the little ‘ heifer one of the best disposi— tioned animals on the farm, up to the time she had her first calf. I had been in the habit of fussing with her, stroking her bag« and talking to her, just as I do to other heifers when the cow is in the making. It has al- ways seemed to me worth while to be kind and friendly to these young crea- tures. at this time. I believe ‘it im- presses itself upon them so that they As with human be- ings, I would say, “Give me the‘first few months of the heifer's life and I will take my chances on what comes afterward.” \ ’ ’ But when that first calf came—well, I never saw anything like the change which took posseséionof Our little fav- orite. We had taken her out 'of the stanchions and put her into a, box stall the night before she was due to come in. When I went down to the barn the next morning, I _was startled be- fore I opened the door by the most ex- cited, distresSed noise I ever heard from a cow. I made haste to get into the barn, expecting something terrible had happened to the ‘ folks in the stable. ' Over in the stall was the heifer with her calf. The little thing was just try- ing to struggle to its feet and get a bit of something to eat. But the moth- er every time the calf came near her would back off and shy away to some other part of the stall, her head down, her eyes sticking out wildly and send- ing out the most peculiar sounds I ever heard from any animal. In fact, she was perfectly wild over the calf. She kept backing off and still watch- ing the calf as if it were a visitor from some strange world and not the fruit of her owu body. So round and round the stall they went, and I was begin- ning to wonder what would be the end of it all. If the calf managed to get up near the heifer, she would push it away, all the time bawling in that Wild, fierce way. I tried to talk to the heifer and of- fered her something to eat, but she paid no attention whatever .to me. 'I thought once I would get over into the stall and see if I could not do some thing toward helping the calf to make acquaintance with its mother; but from the look in the heifer’s eyes when I started to do that, I concluded that I had better keep out for my own good, and let nature have its way. This I .did. I stayed around for some time watching, but finally went to the house leaving them alone a long time. When I went to the barn next, ev- The heifer’s storm of excitement was well-nigh ov- er. 0h, she was nervous and excitable for some time, but the first paroxysm of excitement had passed and never returned. I never saw anything like that before or since in any cow. I am sure now it was‘due to the new sensa- tion of having brought into the world a little creature of her own kind, and then not knowing what to do with the wobbly-legged thing. After that first of? the Cowl By E. L. ‘Vincent '1 had with a. heifer that gave her life 'human in her affection for us men time, the cow never shoWed any such disturbance when her calves came. Very unlike this experience was that for her first 'calf. The little thing had to be taken away by a veterinarian. The operation came near to taking the last bit of strength the heifer had; but she rallied a little in a day or two; and we kept her blanketed in a roomy stall. Every time we got over in to care for her she manifested the utmost tenderness, just like a human being that has been helped over a hard place. She would lay her head on one’s shoul- der. With her rough tongue she would lick the cheek of the master and, in short, display every indication of grat- itude and tenderness. I never saw a more gentle, woman-like animal, and it cost us'many a heartache when we knew that she never was to get well. That was one of the hard things we had to do, to let the little heifer go, but it had to be done. Why was this heifer so gentle and folks? I spoke a moment ago about the way I had been handling the heif- er that went wild when her first calf came; and I am convinced that it was on account of a like kindly manner that the last one Showed her love in the way she did. We had never done anything to make the heifer afraid of us. On the contrary, we had always been just as kind to her as we possibly could. A day or two ago I saw a boy on' one side of a fence with a dog tied about the neck with a rope. On the other side of that fence was a bull calf. The dog and the calf were‘ up there face to face and the dog was worrying the calf, set on to this mean trick by the boy that ought to have been taught better. Think what it might mean to the future life of the calf to have that dog snapping and yelping at it, even though the two were separated by the strands of a woven wire fence. Just there the disposition of the hull was being formed. 'If in some day yet to come that bull, grown strong andugly, kills his master or somebody else where will the fault lie? Another calf I knew was ruined in a similar way. The boy of the farm thought it great sport to get down on his hands and’ knees and push with his head against that of the calf. Fun for a time, but the day came when the calf. could push a lot harder with his« head than the boy could, and he did it, too. It was one of the worst possible things that could be done to the calf— a thing which helped to form its char- acter, and a thing which could not be undone by anything that happened in later life. Somebody ought to have told that boy what would be the effect of his foolish conduct; and every man who has the‘handling of bulls, wheth- er young or old, should remember that any pestering, on his own part or the part of another person is almoSt cer- tain to lead to disastrous results by and by, for the cow and the coW’s off- spring have hearts that can be molded at will by those that live near to them.

While blight developed somewhat on the late crop, the favorable Weather will more than ofiset this damage. The carlot movement is estimated at 24,500 as compared with 26,000 in 1918. It is estimated that about eighty per cent of the crop sold by grades were No. 1; five per cent No. 2; and one per cent culls, these going to starch factories, About fourteen per cent of the crOp will be marketed on field-run basis. Wisconsin—The commercial potato crOp of Wisconsin showed a slight in- crease in quantity compared with a month ago. Beneficial rains during the first week of September caused a con- siderable increase in the Waupaca- Portage county prospect. The Barron- Eau Claire district also showed some gain. Elsewhere in the state there was little change. The forecasted pro- duction for the commercial potato car: lot movement is 21,300 cars, compared with 25,510 cars shipped last year and 31,300 cars in a year of full normal production. The present condition of the crop indicates a prospect of seven- ty-one per cent of a normal yield per acre, or approximately ninety-seven bushels per ac1e. As the acreage is below normal this year the total pro duction is estimated at sixty- eight per cent of normal. district, frost killed the vines on Sep- tember 24, but in the remainder of the , state the vines are still green. Pota- toes now being received at warehouses are still quite green, but of good size and quality. A larger percentage than was expected is grading U. S. No. 1. North Dakota.-The condition of commercial potatoes October 1 is six- ty per cent, compared with sixty-two per cent last month and ninety per cent a year ago. An unfavorably dry and hot season combined with unusu- ally severe bug and hopper damage is the cause of this low condition. The heavier producing counties in the Red River district suffered less severely and yields range from a half crop in southern to about an average crop in northern counties of this district, but with the exception of a, few northwest- ern counties yields in the remainder of the state are extremely poor. Pota- toes are practically a failure in the southwest but acreage is light. Qual- ity is favorable as a rule. It is esti— mated that the commercial shipments of potatoes from North Dakota this season will be 2,035 cars, as compared with 2, 950 cars last season. Nebraska. —-The condition of the Ne- braska commercial potato crop is about the same as a month ago. Some reporters called attention to a slight improvement in the latest potatoes due to September rain. There is a very wide-variation in yield. Dry land po- tatoes may average forty-five bushels 'and irrigated. potatoes 150 bushels per acre. Correspondents estimate that sixty—six per cent of the crop, will be shipped out compared with fifty per cent a month ago. On this basis the shipments should total 2,574 cars, as compared with 5,000 cars last year. Harvesting will be complete about Oc- tober 20.

Western States. Colorado. —-—The potato crop contin- ues to decline. The Greeley district has many fields not worth digging and the crop will fall several thousand cars. short of the 5,740-car crop of 1918, and 6,58-0-car crop of 1917. The potato crop in the unirrigated portion of Qol~ orado is almost an entire failure. All other sections of the state show a. de- crease from the crop of last year, with the exception of the San Luis Valley, where the crop will run over 4, 000 cars. The potato movement to September 30» according to the Bureau of Markets, was 2,779 cars, as compared With 3.39.4 cars to the same date a year ago. Washington—Many counties report only enough potatoes for home con- sumption, and others, that imports will be necessary. The drouth and heat throughout July and August were very severe on non-irrigated crops. Late summer and fall rains induced second growth, reducing per cent of market- able tubers. Stands are uneven in all parts of the state and the number of tubers per hill is below normal. The crop for the state is now estimated at 2,800 cars as compared with 3,130. in 1918. Reports October 1 indicate an average yield of 134 bushels, as com- pared with 172 bushels last year and a normal yield of 191 bushels. In the Yakima district, which is the leading commercial shipping section, an aver— age yield of 243 busners per acre is in- dicated from the October 1 condition. Last year the average yield was 263 bushels per acre or‘ about twenty bush- els less than the normal. Idaho—Yields are below normal due to poor, uneven stands. Contributing factors were a dry spring, extreme drouth and heat throughout July and August and reduction in supply of irri- gation water. Irregular moisture sup- ply tended to reduce per cent of mar- ketable tubers. October 1 condition indicates an average yield of the com- mercial acreage of 172 bushels per acre compared with 240 bushels last year. Eighty per cent of total production will be shipped out. The crop for the state is now estimated at 6,830 cars, compar- ed with 7,725 cars last year. Montana—The Montana commercial potato c‘rop has shown an increase of about two points in condition over Sep- tember 1 estimate, due to favorable maturing weather. Digging in Bitter Root Valley reveals only fair yield and not up to earlier expectations. Yields are low in all other districts and ship- ments will be light. Lack of irrigation water and excessive heat accounts for the light crop over the state. Oregon—Conditions in Oregon have improved considerably over September 1, due to September rains which help- ed out the late acreage. The crop is now estimated at 2 .093 cars as compar- ed to 1,900 cars last month, and 2, 350 cars a. year ago. California. —-—About- sixty per cent or the California commercial production is made up of late winter potatoes, or that portion of the crop moving after September 1. This year the shipments of potatoes harvested after September 1 promise to be about 5,260 cars as compared with 6,200 last year, 4,590 in 1917 and 4,500 in 1916. Most of the late potatoes in California are grown in the Delta region, which. will prob- ably produce ninety-five per cent of" the late storage ' crop of potatoes, or nearly 6,000 cars. Reports from this district show that the late potato crop is in fairly go'od conditian and the av- erase yield is higher than in other sec- tions of the state. The yield per we is estimated it, 1W 130 km _“* UlllflH J HHHHHHIH H l H H HHIHHHHIHUH, Hl ./ Hum L ll [HHIIIIHHHHH JHHHHH MHUHH [HI IHHJJ HHH J H 7 Morelhan13,000 me" are building your Maxwell MAGINE 13,000 men devoting themselves to a single Maxwell.

I» Over a year ago I bought a Seed drill. It arrived too late for fall use, was set up for spring seeding, did not .work, and was set aside and seeding finished by hand. Iihsve written them .several times but get no attention. How can I get satisfaction? J. F. We assume that cash in advance was paid for the implement in which case the only redress is by suit to re- cover it and the only way suit can be maintained is to get service on the op- i posite ”party or attach his goods. We do not understand that the seller has any property in the jurisdiction where the buyer lives; and therefore he can find the seller or his prOperty. There is an implied warranty for goods sold for a special purpose that they are reasonably fit and suitable for ‘that purpose, in the absence of an ex- press agreement to the contrary; and the buyer has his choice to repudiate the contract, return the goods and sue for the whole price; or affirm the con- tract and recover damages for breach of warranty. Also the buyer, though repudiating the contract would have a right to retain possession of the goods to secure‘ repayment of his purchase money. If the bliyer continues to use the goods after discovering the breach of warranty he has elected to afi‘irm the contract and cannot afterwards re- pudiate it. It therefore appears that the buyer’s only redress in this case is to retain a lawyer and bring suit. ' JOHN R. R001). TAX 0N CIDER. Our cider mill charges ten cents war tax per gallon plus their regular fee to manufacture cider. Is this correct? ' C . . . The United States Revenue Law re- quires the payment on “other soft drinks sold by the manufacturer, pro- ducer or importer in bottles or other enclosed containers, a tax equivalent to ten percentum of the price for which so sold;” and the United States treas- urer has interpreted the law to mean that the tax attaches when the bever- age is sold, that is to say, when the title to it passes from the vendor to the purchaser, pursuant to a previous contract of sale or upon a sale without previous contract. It would seem clear therefore, that the operator of the cid- er mill is not justified in collecting a. tax upon cider not sold. JOHN R. ROOD. VARIATION IN POTATO PRICES. In looking over the daily market re- ports on early potatoes, I notice that the Minnesota Early Ohios and Mich- igan potatoes were quoted at about $2.40@2.55 per cwt. New Jersey Irish Cobblers at $3.65@3.75. and California White Nose at $4 per cwt. Why is it that there should be such a. large dif- ference in these prices? Is the Mich- igan and Ohio potatoes so much in- ferior to the others as all this? Do you think there is any probability of grafters or crooks buying Michigan po- ,tatoes at $2.40 and selling them for some other variety at $335624? Leelanau Co. H. You take up the difference in price between Minnesota... Michigan, New Jersey and California potatoes and in- quire whether the variation in prices from these different sections may be used by speculators to the disadvan- tage of producers and consumers. This is a. very broad question and one that can hardlv be answered by a yes or no,"but it Is my opinion that as a. general principle both the wholesale buyers and sellers of fruit and produce are men‘ who arel,well acquainted with the relative quality and worth of dif- ferent varieties of stock from‘ different: 0 recover only by going where he can sections and can be depended upon to pay prices well in line with these dif: ferent basic values. The difference in prices quoted in your letter is undoubt- dly attributed to the difference in qual- ity of the stocks quoted but I~cannot particularize in this case as I am un- able to find the date of the quotation in which these prices were given. At the present time New Jersey Giants in ISO-pound sacks are selling from $3 @325, while good Michigan Round Whites and Maine Irish Cobblers are bringing from $3.50@3.75, sales to job- bers, upon this market. From the cooking value of these potatoes I think this difference in price is entirely jus- tified. The weaknesses of our present system of marketing fruit. and vegeta- bles are so many and varied that it seems rather a waste of energy to pick out an instance of this kind as an ex- ample of sharp practice because there are so many other much more import- ant weaknesses much more easily rec- ognized and proven. D. A. LINE FENCE. My neighbor has failed to keep up his share of the line fence between us and all summer his cattle have been running into my pasture, and my cat- tie into his, which has been known to both of us, but nothing has been said about it. Can I collect pasture rent or damage from him? C. H. On the face of: the matter it would seem to be a horse-a—pi-e-ce; but, how- ever that may be, there is no claim for pasture rent so far as the line fence law is concerned, and under the cir- cumstances, it would be difficult to im- ply any contract to pay for pasture. The remedy of a farmer whose neigh- bor has failed to keep up his share of the fence is to use neighborly persua- sion, and if that fails, take the cattle, damage feasant, that 18, while they are trespassing on the land of the one who has kept up the fence:- When he finds the cattle so trespassing he may law- fully send them to the town pound, to, be held until his claim for damage has been paid. It goes without saying that no neighbor would resort to such meas- ures, except as a last resource. LAND CLEARING‘CONTRACT. I rented a piece of ground to a party for two years, under an agreement that he would break it up for the two crops, and put in a grain crop, and seed it down in the last crop. Instead of doing that, he has put in sugar beets for the second crop. Am I en- titled to rent‘or share in crop? D. T. There being no agreement for either rent or a share of the crop, quite clear- ly, the land owner is entitled to neith~ er. for breach of the contract made; and in this he is entitled to recover the dif- ference’in the value of the land to him as a meadow,-and its value as bare ground without the seeding, which is a question of fact for the jury in case of litigation. It is also to be borne in mind that the plaintiff has the burden of proof to show terms of contract. __ MUCK CATCH ES FIRE. A neighbor set fire to some weeds that grew along he read, and the musk took fire and is still burning: Is be responsible, and what is the dam~ age? R. W. ' It is a question of fact whether the muck catching fire is a. consequence that could naturally be foreseen as possible or likely to happen as a result of firing the weeds? and if so it is a question of fact‘what the actual injury amounts to. It a reasonabie man could foresee the result he is liable for the actual loss. ' - J. R. R. l His only remedy is for damages .

Weather was ideal, arrangements were complete for the most part, and large crowds daily surg- ed through the turnstiles.. It was Man- ager Skinner's big week. Exhibitors and visitors alike seemed to appreciate the reduction in length of show to. a. single week, for it allowed opportunity to see more judging and attendance at more meetings in less time, and the cattle were not retained so long. The Machinery. No National Dairy Show had more complete machinery exhibitions and every material and machinery from the feed to the finished dairy product —yes, and even babies fed on it—were on display. The feed manufacturers were there in force, showing how their grain :mixtures are designed to in- crease milk flow. Barn equipment—stanchions, venti- lating systems, doors, separators, milk- ing machines, feed and litter carriers, blankets, forks and what not—~told the farmer-visitor various means for re- ducing labor to a minimum. The man- ufacturer was even better represented by manufacturers’ booths where were displayed separators, churns, bottling machines, pasteurizers, coolers, clari- flers, etc. An added feature this year was an exhibit of motor trucks, filling one wing of the building. Educational Exhibits. The greatest educational feature of the show, aside from the judging of cattle, was the exhibit of the United States Dairy Division, which occupied one large wing, although secluded somewhat and hence overlooked by many. The food value of milk was one of the chief lessons taught in this dis- play. A daily ‘show was given by girls, called the “Milk Fairies,” while talks were given by food authorities and demonstrations were held in in- fant welfare work. _ In one school in Ames, Iowa, last February, of 198 boys and 167 girls ten per cent were below weight. Of these, thirty-three were fed on a pint of milk daily at school. On June 2 these underweight children were again weighed, and it was then found that they had gained 124 per cent of the expected increase, while those not fed milk gained only 55.4 per cent of nor- mal. Likewise eleven boys and eight- een girls in a Des Moines school were fed milk four months, the boys gain- ing about two and a quarter pounds daily and the girls one and five-sixths to three and a half pounds. That milk makes boys and girls. husky was shown graphically by ex- perimental rats in the government ex- Those getting no milk, but fed gain, but when given a little butterfat ’ were soon as vigorous as their broth- ers that always got milk. The vita- mines in butterfat are essential to the growth of all young animals, whether it be rats, pigs, calves or our own chil- dren. Swollen, sore eyes in rats de- prived of milk were soon cured by the feeding of a little of that dairy pred- uct each. day. ~ Good‘ meals for growing children 7 'M M “Wm M mm 7mm The National Dairy Show were, displayed» The high med. 38.1119 61 cottage-pheasant: a neuroscience _ gy and protein was shown, and its use makes a big cut in the meat bill. Co- operative bull associations and cow testing associations are now a large part of the federal dairy work, and there were on July 1, seventy-nine of the former and 385 of the latter. Three bulls in such " cooperative associations increased the yearly butterfat yield of their daughters over those of their dams 62.2, 55.2 and 115.5 pounds, re- spectively, in 1916. One bull shown in , the exhibit was mated to a 266-pound cow, and the daughter made 481 pounds, the indrease being due to pre- potency of a good sire. Animal diseases, particularly tuber- culosis and contagious abortion, were pictured in all their seriousness. Dairy- men appreciate more each year the necessity for tuberculin testing, and enormous gains were reported last year in federal testing. Ohio had 262 herds that successfully passed their first test. Requirements for keeping a cow one year took one good-sized room ’for ac- commodating the animal, her feed and her product. This survey was con- ducted on 737 cows in northwestern Indiana. It showed that these cows, averaging 6,937 pounds of milk a year, ate 2,046 pounds of grain, 3,301 pounds of hay and stover, 7,276 pounds of sil- age, pasture worth $10.36, and requir- ed 720 pounds of bedding, 164%, hours of man labor, sixteen and one-fifth hours of horse labor, and overhead ex- penses amounting to $27.11. The milk, calf and 6.8 tons of manure constitute the credits. ' There were also model creamery office, creamery testing room and a farm milk house where milk could be kept cool by either ice or running spring water. The booth on steriliza- tion of dairy utensils had a simple home—made sterilizer on a gasoline stove and another hot-water sterilizer over a brick firebox. Products of the government cream- ery at Grove City, Pa., included vari- ous cheeses, condensed milk, butter, cream, buttermilk, and kindred arti- cles. Southern cheeses were displayed. This year there are fifty-two factories in the Carolinas, Georgia, the Virginias and Tennessee, and last year they sold cheese worth $289,000. The Bureau of Plant Industry show- ed various feeds for dairy farms, em- phasizing the need for home-grown protein. The Bureau of Markets had a display of charts, etc., with which it endeavored to inform the public on its market reporting service. The Cattle Show. Cattle unsurpassed in numbers and quality were entered at this great show. There were approximately 900 in the open classes, and some estimated fully 1,200 were on the grounds. Quality be- yond compare was universal in all the breeds, and to be left out of the money was no disgrace. Many were the state fair winners that did not get a ribbon there. It was a battle royal of cham— pions against champions, and many a decision was made on a narrow mar- gin. Judges Kildee for the Ayrshires, Dempsey for the Jerseys, Moscrip for the Holsteins and 'Hope and McKerrow for the Guernseys gave‘ satisfaction throughout.

In the I wheat-producing region of southern ‘Hungary the acreage. planted this year is fully ninety per cent of the normal pre-war acreage. In that part of Ru- mania occupied by the armies of the Central Powers, considerable land was r not cultivated this year, while that which was devoted to crops was found in rather poor condition. This came about because the Teutonic armies ravaged the country of much of the Work stock and agricultural imple— " ments. However, despite this Rumania will be more than self-supporting, and as the maize crop is improving on ac- count of conditions during the sum- mer, Rumania will have a certain ‘amount of export surplus. There will undoubtedly be an export surplus “from southern Hungary, while Bulgaria, as stated, is at least as well off in food production as it was previous to the ' war and will be able to export more than the average amount of cereals. According to the federal specialists there will be but little increase in the acreage devoted to bread grain crops throughout eastern, and northern Eu- ~ rope during the next year, because ’ most of the tillable land is now in crop except those areas which were swept by war. or course,there will be some small increase if the former battlefields are farmed—as they prob- ably will be as normal readjustment occurs—but in the main it is not an- greatly increase their acreage. The production or northern Europe will in- crease as soon as fertilizers become available again, though it will prob- ably not exceed the pre-war production for some years to come. COM PETING CHEESE FACTORY. We have a cheese factory here, and the farmers, thinking they are not treated right, wish to build one of their own. Can the law prevent them? I understand that in Wisconsin the law forbids to put up a second factory within three miles of the former one. We are not aware ofany such sta- tute in Michigan, and the Wisconsin statute, if in terms as stated, 'is not worth the paper it is written on. This is a free country where we have a con- stitution and no person can be forbid- den to engage in, any lawful buSiness gaged in the same business before him. ‘ _ JOHN R. R001).

For the next few years, therefore, just how much food-stud we are able to produce, will depend directly on the service the tractor renders the farmers. If the tractor operates continuously without breakdown or stop- page, the successful fulfillment of our promise to feed the world is assured. Lubricating the tractor may then well be considered one of the most responsible duties that oil must perform. We are proud of our part in this great peace-time work. Texaco Tractor Oil will continue to be the economical lubri- cant, and will assure protection, constant operation, and long-life to the tractor.

She gave at one year and eleven months 10,799 pounds of milk and 643' pounds of fat, besides calving within the year and being on the show circuit. The National Dairy Science Associa- tion passed a resolution asking for the colleges and experiment stations to re- lease them from testing dairy cows on tests for less than ten months in dur- ation. The Holsteins. The Holstein show was unusually 1 strong, but with only one herd east of Illinois. Minnesota, Illinois and Wis? vconsin furnished most of the entries. The aged bull class had thirteen en- tries and brought out much style. The veteran show winner, Paul Calamo Korndyke, now thirteen years old, still showing remarkable quality, trueness of lines and unusual depth of middle, met defeat by two Iowana bulls, .Io- wana Sir Ollie taking first and later grand championship, and lowana Mer- cedes Homestead (owned by Iowa State College), second. ' Old Minerva Beets, fourteen years of age, came back strong the sixth time for premier female honors. Although she has a record of only 17.8 pounds, she shows wonderful digestive and mammary development. She still car- ries a straight top and has remarkable refinement, but age is telling and this i may be her last season. She is a type the judge will always tie to. Schroed- er’s Lady Glen Artis Ormsby was showing dry, or she likely would have won the blue and the purple. Dickin- son & Son had easy picking for first place on exhibitqr's herd, young herd and calf herd. Their grand champion bull also won get of sire class. The Jerseys. The Jerseys comprised the largest part of the show, the aged cow class alone having forty-four entries. The hull classes were likewise closely con- tested. Fauvic’s Prince finally led the aged class, winning through his supe— _ rior quality, massive, bold carriage and wonderfully true tOp line. Another contest came in the three-year-olds when Leda’s Raleigh, Brookwood’s son of Raleigh’s Fairy Boy, was placed ov- er Longview’s entry. Superior hand; ling qualities, great width and depth of middlepiece, and smoothness of body made him hard to beat. Likewise the straight top, wide-sprung, deep rib and bold carriage of Chief Raleigh, Long- view’s two-year-old, put him easily first in his class. Still he did not show quite the character, refinement and masculinity of Leda’s Raleigh, that finally was made grand champion. To win no place in the aged cow class was no disgrace, and even Long— view’s cow, Golden Matron, grand champion at Ohio, had to take sixth place. Edward Lasater had an out- standing winner in Constance of Fal- furrias, a cow of extreme refinement and dairy character, harmonious blend- ing of parts and symmetry of lines, with an enormous udder, attached high behind and carrying forward level and long. Brookwood Farm’s entry, Ward— er’s Fern Blossom, stood second——a cow of great scale and as refined as she is large, but now nearly dry after a test that makes her a gold medal cow. Later she and pahlia’s Noble Fern won get—of-sire for Golden Fern’s Noble. The Texas cow was finally made grand champion. The four-year and three-year classes Were of varied type, but the two-year- olds and yearlings made a beautiful shew. A daughter of Fauvic’s Prince finally took the blue for two-year—olds.‘ ”It was a lesson to see the progeny of such bulls as Fauvic’s Prince, Golden .. ‘1 Forn’s Noble and Flora’s Queen Ral- eighrcoming strong to repeat the rec- , .0! these great sires.

HE secretary of the home mis- sions of one of the large denom- inations was one day addressing the officials of a country church. He was endeavoring to persuade them to adopt the modern weekly payment plan, of paying the pastor’s salary. He thought he had clinched the argument, and all would go swimmingly. Then a trusteewith lace curtain chin whis- kers shifted to his feet and spoke to this effect: “Us never done it that way.” That was suflicient. “Us” con- tinued to do it the old way. However, “us never done it that way,” prevails less and less among rural churches, and it is because the rural pastor himself is becoming alive to the bigness of his task. This was strikingly illustrated at the last Rural Ministers’ Conference, at the Michigan Agricultural College. Men, old and young, were in attendance, from all parts of the state, and from many de- nominations. All were keen for new ideas, and new methods. Courses were given in rural reconstruction, on the play life of farm boys and girls, and in ‘animal husbandry, gardening, gas en- gines, community games, poultry keep- ing, church history, and English Bible. Leading authorities from colleges and universities _were present to give these courses. ' i The feeling is very general among rural leaders that the country pastor must, for the-'best results, know some- thing about the technical and the prac- tical side of agriculture. His parish- ioners will respect him the more, if he does. They will respect him the less if he does not. At a farmers’ picnic the.) preacher volunteered to help an old lady put the bridle on her horse. By N A. McCZme After the dominie had struggled for .. some time to put the bridle on, Wrong side before, he was rescued by the old lady herself, who remarked that she “never did see a preacher that knowed anything about hitching up a boss.” On the other hand, a certain Michigan pastor went one day to call on a rich parishioner who said he‘ had been sanc- tifled for twenty years. He said he hadn’t sinned in all that time. The sky pilot went out to look at his herd. They were arough looking lot, thin, with ears drooping, hair standing the wrong way. He said to the sancti- fied one, “What do_ you do with your milk?”. “Peddle it.” “Well,” said the preacher, “some or all of those cows are tubercular, or I never saw a tuber- / cular cow, and you’ve been selling the milk to innocent babies in town. That is worse than swearing. And if your cows are not tubercular, it shows that you have underfed them and treated them shamefully. In either case, you are the rankest kind of a sinner.” The farmer didn’t come to church for a. long time. But finally he thought bet- ter of the preacher, and began to prac- tice another kind of sanctification. The value of the country church as a social and economic asset haS'been coming to light in recent years. Pro- fessor Galpin of the University of Wis— consin has shown that the Church has a powerful economic value. Land 'val- ues are higher where a strong church exists, because the peoble live cleaner, more moral lives. The writer knows of a rural church where the people who lived near the church were the en vied of their neighbors, because they could attend all the meetings, whiie those farther away could attend only (Continued on next page). For Hallowe’ en HAT can I do for Hallowe’en that’s different?” has beentsuc- cessfully answered this fall by one young Michigan girl. Near her home runs a lonely road with one single dwelling, a deserted house set in dis- mal surroundings. In casting about for ideas for a party which would fur- nish the proper Hallowe’en thrills, she hit upon holding it in this house. The surroundings are ghostly enough to make all kinds of chills run over ven- tu1 esome young folks, and with a lit- tle help on the part of the hostess, they will be made more so. Cornstaiks and . pumpkin Jack~o- lanterns will furnish her decorations. In various nooks stacks of cornstalks will offer shelter for ghosts and witch- es, while one stack, more prominent than. the rest, will house the fortune teller The only light will be that of the Jack-o’—la‘hterns hanging from the walls’and ceiling,_ and in this “haunt .ed” dwelling tall and sheeted ghosts will flit about doing the various Hal- 'lowe’en tricks and listening with bated breath to the fortunes doled out to them, fellows. Pumpkin pie, apples and cider will be served by ghostly hands. Of courge there will be the time-honored bobbing for apples, the throwing of apple skins over the shoulder to form your future ,0 and the wierd tales of their partner’s initials, walking downstairs backward with a mirror in your hand to see his face appear over your shoul- der in the glass, and all the long list of Hallowe’en stunts which have been tried by giggling girls and jeered at by tick-tack working boys since the days of the Druids. For Hallowe’en, though now a Chris- tian festival, is really a transformation of the old Druidic‘festival of harvest which took place November 1. On the night before, Saman, lord of death, called together all the wicked souls which, during the year had been con- , demned to inhabit the souls of ani- mals, and on the harvest festivalhuge bonfires were lighted in honor of the Sun-god in thanksgiving for the harvest. When the Romans conquered Great Britain many of their ceremonies in honor of Pomona were added to the Druidic festival, and it is thus we get the custom of roasting nuts and bob- bing for apples. Hallowe’en fires were for centuries a part of the celebration. Until very recently the revelers used to place peb- bles in .the dying embers, each one marking his own. In the morning the ashes were searched and if any of the pebbles were moved it was taken as a sign that the person represented would die within the year. K: ‘5 {‘5 ‘ things: QWWV _ (Continued from preceding page). ‘ once a week. The well organized, well , pastOred church in the country tends to reduce tenancy. In fact, there can- not exist a strong church where ten.- ancy exists on a large scale. Individ- ualism is the strength of the farming class, but it is also its weakness. Farmers will often hang separately, but they do not always hang together. 'The rural church helps farmers to hang together. As the center of com- munity activities, both social and re- ligious, it brings all classes of farmers together. - Moreover, the church improves the agriculture, as well as the morals of the people. The Rev. W. W. Diehl, the Rural Work Superintendent of the Methodist Church for Michigan, before assuming his present work, made a great success of the rural pastorate. Part of his work was the forming of a Community Betterment Club. Each member of the club promised to do six Something to improve the soil, something to improve the seed, the live stock, the buildings, the home, the community conditions. And Mr. Diehl’s farmers took hold of this pro- ject with a right good will. Some mem- bers of, his club had not been to church for years, and some did not begin to attend after the new pastor went there But they were earnest membeis of the community betterment club, which was centered in the church. . The rural sky pilot has a very vital message to give his hearers. Not only does he teach the Christian religion, but there are some clear-cut economic questions which are at bottom relig— ious questions. The farmer is a trus- tee of the Almighty. He may have bought his farm, but the Almighty made it. “In the beginning God creat- ed thé heavens and the earth.” No farmer has a right to impoverish his land. When he does that, he is taking what does not belong to him. The fer- tility of the land is his principal with which he has been entrusted, as a banker is entrusted with the capital in his bank. The farmer has no right to turn his farm over to his successor in a less productive state than when he took it. As Dean'Bailey of Cornell, puts it, the earth is holy. God put man on it to “dress it and to keep it” ——not to impoverish it. He says that the successful farmer must be a relig- ious man. He who, on the other hand, leaves his farm in a more productive state than it was before, is a benefac- tor of society.

These men would take no chances with the delays of the laws: The men at the bunk house had of- fered more than "once to look at Cur- ly’s arm, but the young man declined curtly. The bleeding had stopped, but there was a throb in it as if someone were twisting a redhot knife in the wound. After a time Doctor Brown showed up in the doorway of the men’s quarters. _ “Another patient here, they tell me,” he grii'nted in the brusque way that failed to conceal the kindest of hearts. Buck nodded toward Flandrau. “Let’s have a look at your arm, young fellow,” the doctor ordered, mopping his bald head with a big bani dana handkerchief. “What about the boss?” asked Jake presently. "Mighty sick man, looks like. you more tomorrow morning.” “Do you mean that he—that he may not get well?” Curly pumped out. his voice not quite steady. Doctor Brown looked at him cur- iously. SOmehow this boy did not fit the specifications of the desperado that had been poured into his ears. “Don’t know yet. Won’t make ahy promises." He had been examining the wound in a business-like way. “It looks like the bullet’s still in there. Have to give you an anaesthetic while I dig it out.” “Nothin’ doing,” retorted Flandrau. ”You round up‘ the pill in there and I’ll stand the grief. When this lead hypodermic jabbed into my arm it sort- er gave me one of them annie-what- d’ye-call-’em—and one's a plenty for. me.” “It’ll hurt,” the little man explained. “Expect I’ll find that out. Go to it.” Brown had not been for thirty years carrying a medicine case across the dusty deserts of the frontier without learning to know men. He made no further protest but set to work. Twenty minutes later Curly lay back on the bunk with a sudden faintness. He was very white about the lips, but he had not once flinched from the in- struments. The doctor washed his hands and his tools, pulled on his coat, and came across to the patient. “Feeling like ,‘a fighting cock, are you? Ready to tackle another posse. 7” he asked. “Not quite.” The prisoner glanced toward his guards and his voice fell to a husky whisper: “Say, Doc. Pull Cul- lisOn‘ through." Don’t let him die.” ~ “Mmpz " Do my best, young fellow. Seems to me you’re thinking of that pretty late.” . Brown took up his medicine case As they rode along a fenced lane which led to the house a girl came fly- ing down the steps. She swung her— self to the saddle just vacated by the messenger and pulled the horse round for a start. At sight of those coming toward her she Called out quickly. “How is dad?” The quiver of fear broke in her voice. ' “Don’t know yet, Miss Kate," answer- ed one of the men. “He’s right peart though. Says for to tell you ‘not to worry. Don’t you, either. We’ve got here'the mangy son of a gun, that did it.” Before he had finished she was off likeg an arrow shot from a bow, but not until her eyes had fallen on the youth sitting bareheaded "and bloody between the guns of his guard. Chrly noticed that she had given a shudder, as one might at sight of a mangled 'mad dog Which had just bit a dear friend. Long after the pounding of her pony’s hoofs had died away the prisoner could see the startled eyes of fear and horror that had rested on him. As Curly kicked his foot out of the stirrup to dismount a light spring wagon rolled past him. In its bed were a mattress and pillows. The driver whipped up the horse and went across the prairie toward Dry Sandy Creek. Evidently he was going to Tell His guards put Flandrau in the bunk house and one of them sat at the door with a rifle across his knees. The cook, the stable boy, and redheaded Bob Cullison, a nephew of the owner of the ranch, peered past the vaquero at the captive with the same awe they would have yielded to a caged panther. “Why, he’s only a kid, Buck,” the cook whispered. Buck chewed tobacco impressively. “Old enough to be a rustler and a killer.” Bob’s blue eyes were wide with in— terest. “I’ll bet he’s a regular Billy the Kid,” murmured the half-grown boy to the other lad. “Sure. ’Course he is. eyes all right.” “I’ll bet he’s got notches on his gun. Say, if 'Uncle Luck dies—~” Bob left the result to the imagination. The excitement ‘at the Circle 0 in- creased. Horses cantered up. Men shouted to each other the news. 0c- casionally someone came in to have a look at the “bad man” who had shot Luck Cullison. Young Flandrau lay on a cot and stared at the ceiling, paying no more attention to them than if they had been blocks of wood. It took no shrewdness to see that there burned in them a still cold auger toward him that might easily find expression in lynch law. ,The crunch of wagon wheels over disintegrated granite drifted to the bunk house. “They’ re bringing the boss back,” Buck announced from the door to one of his visitors. _ The man joined him and looked over his shoulder. “Miss Kate there too?” “Yep. Say, if the old man don’t pull through it will break her all up.” He’s got bad The boy on the bed turned his face to the wall. He had not cried for ten years, but now he would have liked the relief of tears. The luck had brok- en bad for him, but it would be the worst ever if his random shot were to make Kate Cullison an orphan. A big - lump rose in his throat and would not stay dewn. The irony of it was that he was staged for the part of a gray wblf oh the howl, while he felt more like a little child that has lost its last _- friend. After a time there came again the crisp roll or. wheels. “Dec BIO“, summed 31103 guards casually and as a matter 01.71. and went back to the house. CHAPTER III. At the End of the Road. ' URLY’S wooden face told noth- ing of what he was thinking. The first article of the creed of the frontier is to be game. Good or bad, the last test of a man is the way he takes his medicine. So now ydung , Flandrau ate his dinner with a hearty appetite, smoked cigarettes lmpasSlve- ‘ ly, and occasionally chatted with his. , that hectic rat 'elme'd him, but Md '- notiin‘tend to play the quitter.’ ' i Sweeney relieved the other watchers ‘ , Shrilled. Dutch and. an old fellow named about noon.‘ The squat'puncher came up and looked down angrily at the boy lying on the bunk, “I’ll serve notice right now that if you make any breaks I’ll fill your car- cass full of lead,” he growled. The prisoned knew that he was nurs- ing a grudge for the blow that had , floored him. Not to be bluffed, Curly came back with a jeer. “Much oblig- ed, my sawed-off and hammered-down friend. But What’s the matter with your face? It lo‘oks some lopsided. Did a mule kick you?” Sweeney gave his companion the laugh. “Better let him alone, Dutch. If he lands on you again like he did be.- fore your beauty certainly will be spoiled complete.” ~ The little puncher’s eyes snapped rage. “You’ll get yours pretty soon, Mr. Curly Flandrau. The b0ys are fix- in' to hang yore hide up to‘dry.” ' “Does look that way, doesn’t it?” the boy agreed quietly. As the day began to wear out it looked’so more than ever. Two riders from the Bar Double M reached the ranch and were brought in to identify him as the horse thief. The two were Maloney and Kite Bonfils, neither of them friends of the young rustler. The foreman in particular was a wet blank- et to his chances. The man’s black eyes were the sort that never soften toward the follies and mistakes of youth. “You’ve got the right man all right,” he said to Buck without answering Curly’s cool nod of recognition. “What sort of a reputation has he got?” Buck asked, lowering his voice a'little. - Kite did not take the trouble to low- er his. “Bad. Always been a. tough character. Friend of Bad Bill Cranston and Soapy Stone.” Dutch chipped in. .. “Shot up the Sil- ver Dollar saloon onct. Pretty near beat Pete Schiff’s head off another time.” . - Curly laughed rather wildly. “That’s right. Keep a-coming, boys. Your turn now, Maloney.” “All right. Might as well have it all,” Buck agreed. “I don’t know anything. against the kid, barring that he's been a little wild," Maloney testified. “And I reck- on we ain’t any of us. prize Sunday school winners for that matter.” . “Are we all friends of Soapy Stone and Bad Bill? Do we all rustle stock and shoot up good citizens?” Dutch Maloney’s blue Irish eyes rested on the little puncher for a moment, then passed on as if he had been weighed and found wanting. “I’ve noticed,” he said to nobody in particular, “that them hollering loud- est for justice are most generally the ones that would hate to have it done to them.” Dutch bristled like a turkey rooster. “What do you mean by that?” The Irishman smiled derisively. “I reckon, you can guess if you try real hard.” Dutch fumed, but did no guessing out loud. His reputation was a white- washed one. Queer stories had been whispered about him. He had been a nester, and it was claimed that calves certainly not his had been found car- rying his brand. The man had been full of explanations, but there came a time when explanations were no long- er‘accepted. He was invited to be- come an absentee at his earliest con- venience. living across the mountains. Curly had been one of those who had given the invitation. He had taken the hint and . left without delay. Now he was pay. ing the debt heowed young Flandrau. Though the role Curly had been—giv- .

How can Firestone sell the new Standard Oversize Firestone Cord at'a normal price? How can Firestone give the most highly perfected, special molded 31/2-inch tire at a price that dealers usually ask for ”off brand” kinds? How can Firestone tubes be sold for less than others of any reputation at all when their very looks and “body” and feel ‘in- dicate their finer quality and longer mileage? The answer to all this is Firestone generalship of man power—- Firestone organization of brains and capital. Firestone has built tires since the beginning of motor cars and trucks. Firestone built the first truck tire, and practically all the firsts” among tire and rim im- provements belong to Fire stone. Most Miles, per Dollar) ’ =3; ' I 2? ~\ Plant No. 1.

And why is this Firestone or- ganization the most effective in the business? Because Firestone attracts. and holds the men who do things. 90% of Firestone workers own stock in the company. Firestone Park is a unique and attractive home community; the clubhouse plays a real part in the daily life of these workers.. The Firestone bank has thousands of deposi- tors.

But Buck would not have it that 'way. “What about him?” he demand- ed out loud, his voice grating like steel when it grinds. “Is he—how is he doing?” _/ “What’s eatin you? Ain’t he dying fast enough to suit you?" ‘ Flandrau shrank from the cruel words, as a schoolboy does from his Iteacher when he jumps at him with a. cane. He understood how the men were feeling, .but to have it put into words like this cut him deeply. 1 It was then that Maloney made a friend of the young man for life. He let~a hand drop carelessly on Curly’s )shoulder and looked at him with a friendly smile in his eyes, just as if he knew that this was no wolf but a. poor 'lost dog up against it hard. ' “Doc thinks he’ll make it all right. ” _ \But there were times when Curly wondered whether it would make any ’difference to him whether Cullison got iwell or not. Something immediate was in the air. Public opinion was sitting 'down to a decision. There were wise gnods, and whisperings, and men riding up and going off again in a hurry. There had been a good deal of lawless- ness of late, for which Soapy Stone’s ’band of followers was held responsi- ‘ble. Just as plainly as if he had heard {the arguments of Dutch and Kite Bon- 'fi1s he knew that they were urging the others to- make an example of him. .Most of these men were up to the av- erage for the milk of human kindness. 'They were the squarest citizens in Ar- izona. Hut Flandrau knew they would snuff out his life just the same if they decided it was best. Afterward they might regret it, but that would not help him. Darkness came, and the lamps were lit. Again Curly ate and. smokedand chatted a. little with his captors. But ias he sat there hour after hour, feel- ing death creeping closer every min- “ute, cold shivers ran up and down his spine. They began to question him, at first casually and carelessly, so it seemed to Curly. But presently he discerned ’a. drift in the talk. They were trying to find out who had been his partners in the rustling. “And I reckon Soapy and .Bad Bill left you lads at Saguache to hold the sack,” Buck suggested sympathetically. Curly grew wary. He did not intend to betray his accomplices. “Wrong guess. Soapy and Bad Bill weren’t in this deal,” he answered easily. it with you. I guess. they were Soapy and Bad Bill all right.”- “There’s no law against guessing.” The foreman of the Bar Double M interruptedimpatiently, tired of trying to pump out the information by finesse. “You’ve got to speak, Flan- drau. You’ve got to tell us who was engineering this theft. Understand?” frowning face and his heart sank. “Got to tell you, have I?” “That’s what.” “Out with it,” ordered Buck. "Oh, I expect '1’.“ keep that under my hat,” purly told them lightly. They were crowded about him in a half circle, nearly a. score of ”hard leather-faced’plainsmen. Some of them wereriders of the Circle C outfit. 0th- ers had ridden over from neighboring ranches. All of them plainly meant. business. They meant to stamp out rustling, and their determination had been given an edge by the wounding .41! Luck Cullison. the most pepular . ' man in the counts; 4 . 5W , , (continued from previous page) on was that of the hardened desperado ‘ “We know there were two others in, The young rustler looked at the grim. '1 Sweeney quietly. “The boys ain’t trifling about this thing. They mean to find out who was in the rustling of the‘ » ,Bar Double M stock” “Not through me, they won’t. " "Through you. And right now. ” A dozen times during the evening Curly had crushed doWn the desire to beg for mercy, to cry out desperately for them to let him oft. He had kept telling himself not to show yellow, that it would not last long. Now the fear of breaking down sloughed from ' his soul. He rose from the bed» and looked round at the brown faces cir- cled about him in the shine of .the lamps. _ “I’ 11 not .tell you a. thing—not a thing.” He stood there, chalk-faced, his lips so dry that he had to keep moistening in'g'them With the tip of his tongue. Two thoughts hammered in his head. “Better think again, Curly,” advised ’ One was that he had come to the end - of his trail, the other that he would game it out without weakening. Dutch‘had a new rope in his hand with a loop at one end. He tossed‘it over the boy’s head and drew it taut. Two or three of the faces in the circle were almost as bloodless as that of the prisoner, but they were set to see the thing out. “Will you tell now '2” Bonfils asked. Curly met him eye to eye. “No.” “Come along then.” One of the men caught his arm at the place where he had been wounded. The rustler flinched. “Careful, Buck. Don’t you see you are hurting his bad arm?" Sweeney said sharply. “Sure. Take him right under the shoulder.” “There’s no call to be rough with him.” “I didn’t aim to hurt him.” Buck de- fended himself. His grip was loose.and easy now. Like the others he was making it up to his conscience for what he meant to do by doing it in the kindest way possible. Curly’s senses had never been more alert. He noticed that Buck had on a red necktie'that had got loose from his shirt and climbed up his neck. It had black polka dots and was badly frayed. Sweeney was chewing tobacco. He would have that chew in his mouth at- ~ter they had finished what they were going to do. “Ain’t he the gamest ever?" some- one whispered. The rustler heard the words and they brace‘d him as a drink of whiskey does a man who has been on a bad spree. His heart was chill with fear, ‘but he had strung his will not to let ‘ him give Way. “Better do it at the cottonwoods . down by the creek,” Buck told Bonfils in a low voice. ' p The foreman of the Bar Double M moved his head in assent. “All right. Let’s get it over quick as we can.” A sound of flying feet came from out- side. Someone smothered an oath of surprise. Kate Cullison stood in the doorway, all out of breath and pant- ing. She took the situation in before she spoke, guessed exactly what they in- tended to do. Yet she flung her imo perious question at them. “What is it?” They had notaword to say for them- selves. In that room were some of the most callous hearts “in the territory. ‘Not one man in a million could have phased them. but this slender girl dum- rounded them. Her gaze settled 91: Buck. His wandered for” help to Sween- ey, to Jake, fo‘ he Bonflls' ~ "aside. “No-No—No!” Her voice gather- ed strength with each repetition of the word. “I WOn't have it. What are you thinking about?” To the boy with a rope around his; neck she was an angel from heaven as' she stood there so slim and straight. her dark eyes shining like stars. Some of ”these men ‘were old enough to be her father. Any of them could have crushed her with one hand. But if a thunderbolt had crashed in their midst it could not have disturbed the vigi- lantes more. . “He's a rustler, Miss Kate; belongs to Soapy Stone’s outfit," Sweeney an— Swered the girl. “Can you prove it?” “We got him double cinched.” “Then let the law put him in prison.” “He shot yore paw,” Buck reminded her.‘ ’ “Is that why you’re doing it?” “Yes’m,” and “that’s why,” nodded. Like a flash she took advantage of their admission. “Then I’ve got more against him than you have, and I say turn him over to the law.” “He'd get a good laWyer and wiggle out,” Dutch objected. l She whirled on the little puncher. “You know how that is, do you ‘2” Somebody laughed. It was known that Dutch had once been tried for stealing a sheep and had been ac- quitted. ' . Kite pushed forward, rough and ov- erbearing. “Now see here. We know what we’re doing and we know why we’re doing it. This ain't any business for a girl to mix in. You go back to the house and nurse your father that this man shot.” “So it isn’t the kind of business for 'a girl,” she answered scornfuily. “It’s Work for a man, isn’t it? No, not for one. For nine—eleven—thirteen—sev- enteen big brave strong men to hang one poor wounded boy.” Again that amused laugh rippled out. -It came from Maloney. He was lean- ing against the door jamb with his hands in his pockets. Nobody had no- ticed him before. He had come in af- ter the girl. When Curly came to think it over later, if he had been giv- en three guesses as to who had told they ' nut». she swept" his 'remonstrange” Kate Cullison what was on the pro- gram he would have guessed Maloney each time. “Now that you’ve mind proper, Miss Cullison, I expect any of the boys will be glad to escort you back to the house,” Kite suggested with an acid smile. “What have you got to do with this?” she flamed. “Our boys took him. They brought him here as their prisoner. Do you think we’ll let you come over into this county and dictate everything we do ?” - “I’ve got a notion tucked away that you’re trying to do the dictating your own self,” the Bar Double M man con- .tradicted. "I’m not. But I won’t stand by while you get these boys to do murder. If they haven’t sense enough ~ to keep them from it I've got to stop it my- self.” Kite laughed sarcastically. “You hear your boss, boys.” “You’ve had yore say now, Miss’ Kate. I reckon you better say good. night,” advised Buck. She handed Buck and his friends her compliments in a swift flow of fem- inine ferocity. , (Continued next week). relieved your 1 l l V _V 5 V :an open ‘ ,takea-«smgle layer of hat _.mnunon COMPANY “:11 to 45th St. on Oakley Ave. mined you will find out what we mean . eta about MULE-HIDE’S extra toughness a mengfir. .;.._.And the very ’éx'u'tifity‘ and workman- " ' ' it tear hard-,smalies it wear long. u f ’ ' , GET ME . , , FROM , YOUR -- -. - LUMBER ' 1» . 99 ...DEALER § ,, f GoQtOfi our dealerand' ask him to show you V . .1 V Roofing; make the test shown here, You willlearn why the MULE-HIDE service record is 44‘;"‘Not a Kick in a Million Feet" and why depend- able dealers recommend it to their customers. roll or MULE-mos‘ it «in your hands, test Manufacturers Chicago, Ill. “Mrs—“x...“m -Mm...

[L 111‘ When Days are 'Busyuay-E.L.'m-nqenx Boys’ and Glrls’ Department AVE you ever said in the morning when you got up, “This is going to be 'a pretty busy day; I have so many things to do 1 do not know. where to begin?” Most of us have; and there is some danger that we may start out at too fast a gait, and so tire out before noon. Far better begin slowly and work steadily on toward the end. We are likely then to reach evening time comparatively fresh and free from the wearing fret that comes with hurrying. An old liveryman I used to ride with out at t0p speed early in the day." And'l found it so. When he was the driver he would come in at night with his team comparatively fresh. There is something in this for the everyday man. Nothing tires more than going about one's work “hammer and tongs," early in the day—0r any other time, for that matter. A steady pace brings us to the end more surely. There is too much wear and tear upon us all in these days, anyway. we need to hold ourselves in check and not let little things chafe us so. When we Come to the House we Ought to be at Our Best. had a way of saying, “When you\ are out on the road, don’t drive fast for a few miles in the morning. Begin on a walk. Let your horses work into it gradually. They will stand the long trip better than they will if you start When days are busiest, keep the cheeriest. Most. of us are where we have to rub up against other folks more or less throughout the day. It may be some of the neighbors or the hired men or perhaps members of our own families that we must meet and work with. They are in danger of get- ting tired and nervous, too, and then is when the danger is greatest. We speak before we think, and so do they. and first we know, something has been said that hurts the feelings of another. So begin every day with the determi- nation to be steady and of a cheery heart, no matter what comes. Especially when we ,come to the house ought we to be at our best. It is a sign of a good man or woman to “get along well” in the home. Not al- ways is this as easy'as it might be: but if we cultivate a kindly, helpful spirit, we will by and by rise above the reach of everything that savers oil 111 temper. I heard a man tell the other day how ashamed he used to be when he was smoking cubebs for hay fever. Some- one told him it would be a good thing for that disease; but he felt like sneak- ing away out of sight whenever he met an old friend; and he made up his mind that he would rather have hay fever than to be humiliated by coming face to face with those who respected him and were surprised when they saw him with a cigarette in his mouth. Why should we not be just as much ashamed to speak a harsh, unkindly word to anybody as to be seen with a. pipe in our mouths? Life is too short to spend in criticising and finding fault with other folks. It helps nobody, and it hurts the one who indulges in it most of all. Let’s be above it, always and everywhere. When days are busy, we ought to be happiest. Then we are doing our part toward making this world a better place to live in. That makes life worth living. Entering the Michigan Agricultural College ELLO, J. H. What's your hurry?" “I’m on my way to catch a train,” we replied. “Where you going now ?” “I’m going to East Lansing to enter the M. A. C.” “To enter the M. A. C. ? Didn’t you enter that school a good many years ago? That’s a. queer story for you to tell.” And then we hurried on without ex- plaining details, because it was nearly train time. But we really did enter M. A. C. once more last Monday, September 29, following a thousand or more previous entries made during the last third of a century. We entered the first time just thir- ty—five years ago, on foot, tired, hun- gry, nervous, and aching in a number of joints from the toes, up. We had hoofed it from Lansing over all sorts of walks, cow and bicycle paths, and even in the middle of the dusty road. It was hot and muggy, just as it was last Monday, and when we reached a tree that stuck up out of a whopping big split stone we dropped our carpet bag and leaned up agin’ that old stone to rest a bit. And when we started on again that old bag, loaded until it overflowed on both stern and bow ends, began to get By J. H. Brown Stopping to rest a spell amidship, that old split stone increased our ner- vous condition and we wondered what we were really wading into. The night before we had bid our only and best girl a fond adieu and told her our next day’s move was for the better or worse. Beside the split stone we felt it was for the worse, only more so. We have thought of that first day out from Lansing to the M. A. 0., and every time we have looked out for it and thought of our first entry into the Agricultural College, and that it was not quite So triumphal as some other fellows have entered certain places, according to the ancient history of this mundane sphere. ‘ ' And last Monday we entered M.

Q WHEN HUNTING. 'TIME COM ES. EVERY year there are a. certain number of little tragedies which occur in the country during the hunt- ing season. With'variations they run something like this: Act 1. Happy young farmer boy completes his morn- ing work and starts for the woods for a holiday with the trusty shotgun. Act 2: He decides to climb a fence and pokes the gun through the rails with the muzzle pointed toward him. Act 3: The trigger strikes and the gun is fired and the hunter receives the charge with disastrous results. 'Here is another. Act 1: Two hunt- ers start out together and then sep- arate. Act 2: The first hunter soon spots a strange movement in the brush and thinks it may be a rabbit or a deer and figures that he had better shoot quick before it is gone. Act 3: He shoots his friend. ’- The gun that is not loaded is also a common cause of tragedy as the ac- counts in the newspapers. at intervals will bear testimony. Act 1: The farm boy decides to scare his sister by pigk- ing up father’s shotgun and snapping the trigger while pointing the gun in her direction.

Act 2: The sister is shot and killed. Act 3: One boy has some- thing very sad to remember for life. Most all accidents with guns are due to carelessness on the part of the hunt- er. When climbing a fence with a gun it pays to lay it through the fence on the ground with the muzzle pointing aWay and toward the ground. Even if the gun is stood up against the fence it may be jarred and fall over and an explosion result. It is best to keep a gun unloaded until about ready to fire and also keep the finger away from the trigger until the time for aiming has arrived. Walk- ing with a gun and carelessly fingering the trigger caused one accident. A farmer walked along last year with a loaded shotgun and his finger on the trigger. He was pointing it at the ground and considered himself safe. However, a little nervous pressure on the trigger when he was thinking of other things caused the gun to fire and part of the charge struck him in the heel, causing a serious injury.

If the household engineers could have their way we would have every home in America run like a big business office, or like Henry Ford’s factory. Everything ’ would be standardized and systematiz- ed to the nth' degree, so that there movements. The idea reads well, it might work out in, city apartments where there are no children. But in real homes such as we know in the country and smaller cities, I doubt if the new card indexed sort of house- keeping could ever work out well. The idea of card-catalogued hguse- holds sounds too precise and kept-up like to be comfortable. The woman with a. card catalogue mind is mighty efficient, I’ll admit. She does things, and no mistake. But the trouble with her is that she Wants to make every- body else be doing things too. She isn’t a comfortable, homey sort of per- son at all. And home to me should always spell comfort. Just as impos- sible, however, is the woman who tries to get along without system, who aris- es each morning with no definite plan in her head, and whose housekeeping is a hit-or-miss proposition. But be- .\ tween these two extremes lies a. happy medium which it seems to me any sen- without the aid of a. printed schedule ‘ or daily tasks.

Two days, with taking care of an eight-room house is the record of one woman, while a girl employed in an office makes one in three days in her extra time. The stores pay their knitters five dollars each for knitting, so if you want some extra pin money here is your chance. Use a good, quality soft yarn, and make them of any shade.

And as a prepara- tion I should advise months of study of foods. 'I should write to the depart- ment of agriculture in Washington and ask them to send me any bulletins they have on food values, selecting a balanced diet and planning meals. The agricultural college extension depart- ment of your own state will also fur- nish you with quantities of leaflets and bulletins on the subject. Study these carefully until you get a general idea of just what your family needs each day. Briefly, they need foods from each of these groups: Milk, eggs, cheese, meat, beans, peas. Leafy vegetables and fruits. Cereals. Sweets. Fats. It should be an easy matter for any woman on the farm to furnish a food from each of these groups. Milk and eggs you may have, if you find it im— possible to get fresh meat and cheese. The vegetables and fruits ’are often lacking, though there is no reason why they should be if foresight and a little extra work are brought into play. The sweets are always too abundant, and the fats may be furnished in cream and butter. Pork fat, usually employ- ed, is the poorest sort to use, and should be: excluded altogether from the dietary of young children. With a general plan of work for the entire week in your mind and a funda- mental knowledge of what the family needs in the way of food, a bookkeep- ing method of housekeeping should not be necessary. In fact, it is worse than useless when it is so rigid that no alv lewance is made for relaxation, which is the most important need of every American home.

We have tested this matter over and over, and I have seen it work out on other flocks. Our hens will give us eggs when they get milk and keep it up steadily winter and summer, even doing very well at it whommoultlng so badly that the place is covered with feathers, though this some milk helps them to renew their cost so rapidly that they are never without a. good covering. It has been a good while since we have had a half-naked ban on our place. A friend of mine has a Jersey, cow which furnishes milk, for the hens to:- nearly eleven months In the year, but when that one month comes they drop down 01f their eggs quickly. So regu- larly do they do it that even the man of the house has come to agree that the lack of milk is the cause, though at first he was skeptical. . Last year I saw the report of a. test of the relative value of milk find meat scraps compared with each other and with a ration well supplied with veg etable protein but no animal protein, and the milk gave almost the same re. sults as a full ration of meat scraps, and I believe it was a very little in. ex- cess. Both of these produced eggs enough over the other when to pay the extra cost of the milk and meat scraps many times over, while the fact was the reduction in the grain consum- ed was almost enough to do that With- out the extra egg production. I have hopes that the milk diet will influence many to feed their hens more of this animal protein. I do not be- lieve that the same value can be se~ cured from the milk in feeding it to any other stock. Hogs will return good pay for enough to balance their ration, for they must have a. certain amount of protein to fatten well, but it is not profitable to feed them much more than enough to thus balance the ra- tion, and, as with hens, this amount is ration. Separated milk with its butterfat re- moved contains little that will fatten or produce energy, but it has plenty of muscle building elements, and will sup— ply the hen with just what she needs for the whites of her eggs, which she M ILK in sufficient quantify to sup- but a. small proportion of their total. cannot get in the right proportion 1?er grains. ‘ so generally established that few are ignorant of it We .are all too apt to p give it little heed. I know several farmers who concede that they know that their hens must have protein in some form to lay. but they never pro vide it. - They just neglect it entirely when they know better, and they pay the price, thoughthey will not. take that seriously, looking upon the flock as a little matter. It is time the farm- er gives the hen her due, and really looks into her record for cash ‘pronts. Compare athousand pounds or hens and a. thousand-pound ’cow, for in- stance. keeping account of costs and. receipts. SEX oF POULTRY. T one time the pointed eggs were supposed to contain cockerels and the rounded eggs pullets. This was in ‘an age when hearsay was often believ- ed without the trouble of investigation. Often fine quality pointed eggs were discarded in favor of rounded speci- mens of poorer type because the poul- tryman naturally wished to hatch more pullets than cockerels. In spite of all the more or less fool- ish systems of determining the sex of chicks before they are hatched, we still have to wait until the chicks de- velop some of the characteristics of their sex before we can tell the males from the females. This is true of all birds and animals and is evidently a. wise provision of nature. In our experience we seem to ob- tain about an equal number of pullets and cockerels. Of course, this will vary in smallyhatches but when two hundred to three hUndred eggs are in- cubated at one time the proportion of the sexes seems to run about equal. The mortality rate seems to affect both sexes about alike. We believe this fact, because at maturity and at the broiler age there will be about the same number of each sex. The mortal- ity among the brooder 'chicks, the loss- es from hawks and all the diseases and accidents that can occur in a bird’s life seem to strike about equal at male and female. This, also, seems to be nature’s plan of keeping the world in balance and when man tries to change such laws he has little success. Better How County Agents Am’ 172 Developmg Float: ULLING the poor layers out of farmers’ flocks of hens has become a favorite job with many county agents. 'farm flock that are not producers, and when the county agent picks them out and proves that they are boarders" he makes a. hit with the farmers. County Agent Paul C. Jamleson, of Calhoun county, has won many friends through his poultry culling demonstrations, and he has become an expert in the work. This spring he culled forty—five White Leghorns out of a flock of four hundred and they laid only faur eggs in ten days. six months Mr. Jamieson has given fifty-live poultry-culiing den 11 tratio '11 his so There are some hens in every During the past While this fact has been . v. l | with 6 Gallons- of . a BIS paint covered almost 1.000 square feet per gallon. where ordinary barn ' paintwouid not cover over 300 square feet.

Automobiles are owned on 1,337 of the 1,753 farms covered in the coun- ty canvas, or by practically three- fourths of the farmers. These figures come as a. distinct shock to those who have imagined that the cities own a. corner on the auto- mobile game, ”for it seems that their rural neighbors do a full share of rid- ing these days. On these 1,753 farms, sixtyoone trucks and eighty—two tractors are own- ed. Most of the farmers are shown to own their own land, although there are 256 share croppers, seventy-nine cash renters, and thirty paid managers on the terms on the list. Silos are found on 1,034 of the farms. While Washtenaw is listed as one of the wealthiest counties of the state, and it is certain that a census in most of the other localities would not Show so great a percentage of automobiles and farm improvements, the extension men of the college point out that the farmer is coming to be a. full-fledged business man, and that in most cases he has the accessories that go with a. business life. / BEEKEEPERS WILL ATTEND TWO- DAY SCHOOLS. WO-DAY beekeepers’ schools will be held in sixty-three Michigan counties during the coming winter, starting in the northern counties about ’November 15, according to an an- nouncement issued by B. F. Kindig, State InSpector of Apiaries at East Lansing. The schools will be devoted to a study of practical methods which have been tested in the best apiaries 'of the country. Mr. Edwin Ewell, of the Extension Division of the Agricultural College, and a representative of the inspector’s "office will conduct the schools, which ”will be attended by thousands of bee- 'keepers from all over the state. WALNUT TIMBER SELLING HIGH. HO ever heard of a log six by sixteen feet selling for $30,000? At least that is what a manufacturer of furniture woods was paid for the walnut veneer after the log had been cut up. ' / The log in question was discovered in Illinois and was to have been used . The people who lived in the good days of the wise King Canute thought he had the power to make the ocean recede at a mere word of com- mand. Today the Bell Tele- phone Company finds itself in a position not unlike that of the ancient 'king. its mere word will not hold back an ocean of expense. Rigid economy and the most modern methods of operation have made it possible for the Bell Company to keep its rates at a far lower level than that of the commodities which it must use in construction and upkeep. But it has felt the %%7 //-’//// . /l . %////é 56 on A Modern King Canute rising tide of costs just as cer- tainly as has every business and every family. The one source of revenue of the Bell Company is the price you pay for service. if this price fails to cover fair wages and necessary materials, then both you and your tele- phone company must suffer. F or one year the Bell Com- pany was under Government control. The Government analyzed methods and costs; and established the present rates as just. All the Bell Com- pany asks is a rate sufficient to provide satisfactory service to every subscriber.

We are not told how much that log cost 'the lumbermen who sawed it into veneering. We are not informed how much profit was realized by the manu- facturer who handled it in its raw state, and later in its finished prod- ucts. ' But it is safe to presume that a. small fortune was made out of that one log which“ a farmer probably re- ceived $100 for. A little timely advise is in store for all farmers who have timber on their lands. The chances are the timbered land is worth more than all the rest of their farms. Lumber firms have men out scouting through the country for good walnut trees and their agents are offering farmers all the way from $100 up for likely looking trees in their raw-state. One hundred dollars for a. lone tree may seem to be a mam- moth price but when it becomes known that a fine, straight-grained walnut tree is worth $5,000 or $10,000 ,or more, it behooves the business" farmer to use his think tank and think f-twice betel-e he sells.——Runnells. post, and making returns the same day that we receive the furs.

The bonny Scotch cow never made a greater show on American soil than Came from the herds of Gossard es- tates, Adam Seitz, Wendover Farms, and J. A. Ness. Strathglass Gold Chink Won senior-championship; he shows a grand top line, unusual depth and spring of rib, but his lack of snap and bold carriage and lightness in fore end lost him grand champion honors. A yearling was shown by Wendover Farm that had exceptional scale and finish, straight top line, good handling quality, unusual length of middle and _harmony in all parts. Two famous cows met defeat for the ,1 aged cow honors. Ll‘orr, owned by Wendover Farms, showed large roomy middle and a pli- able square udder, but was narrow in the rump and plain at both ends. High- ' [and Polly carried 'an' exceptionally large shapely udder, but after milking it showed a meaty texture and was not evenly balanced. She is just a little coarse in head and rump. Of a little ' more refined type, smoother blending i of parts, more milky "character was the first prize winner. Imp. Chapman— " ton Nell 3d, owned by Adam Seitz. She l was showing dry, but with an udder of Exceptionally fine texture and teats Squarely placed. Senior championship went to Cava- lier’s Kilnford Bell 3d, a daughter of the many-times champion Kilnford Bell 3d, and the two-year-old was later made grand champion. , . White Heather of Torr was placed above Chapmanton Nell 3d in the A. R. class for aged cows, while Highland Polly won first for younger tested Zeows. ' The Guernseys. Chief interest in Guernseys centered about the bull classes, especially the aged class where Imp. Itchen May King, grand champion at the Panama _Pacific, met Ladysmith’s Cherub, thrice grand champion at the Nation- "at The Shorewood bull was finally placed first; but at the ringside the greater refinement, broader rear end and straighter top line of the Califor- nia entry seemed to merit a higher rating. This was another great show for Marsh's herd bull, Imp. Hayes Cherub 2d, for his sons won first in aged class and two-y'ear—olds, and second in sen- iOr yearlings. A son of Hayes Cherub 2d and Prin- cess Bergere, both National champi- ions, was made senior champion over Ladysmith’s Cherub. The two—year—old shoWed remarkable scale, straight top, large heart girth and width carried well to the rear. Still he is a little rplain about his head, a. little coarse throughout, and this lack of refine- ment lost him grand championship. The yearling son of Itchen May King, showing more open conformation, more highly colored secretions, clean- er head and throat, longer rump and wider heart girth carried off the purple banner. (Continued next week). muskox MEAT PROMISED. EINDEER and muskox meat will be quite common foods in the United States and Canada inside of the next fifteen years, says Vilhjalmur Stefansson. The explorer delivered several addresses recently and the , keenest interest was amused in his 1' reindeer and muskox plans. Several ‘ local capitalists waited on him and of- _ feted financial support to any proposi- tion'he might submit. . .

' The marekts in this edition were ro- vised and corrected on Thursday af- ternoon, October 23. - WHEAT. Wheat rules .steady and there is not much change in this market, the ship- ping ~demand remains good, though somewhat limited on account of short- age of cars. So far the steel strike has had no ,visible effect upon this market. The prices remain practically same as they were last week. Local stocks are 60,000 bushels, as against 23,000 bushels a year ago. One year ago No. 2 red wheat sold on the local market for $2.231/2. Today’s prices are as follows: N0. 1 red ........... $2.27 No 1 mixed ........ 2.25 No. 1 white ...... 2.25 No. 2 red ......... 2.24 No. 3 red ............. -. . 2.20 CORN. Corn ‘started in with some of last week’s bullishness, but there was a lack of outside interest and the ad- vance was checked. The local market was strong at first but weakened lat- er. The farmers are believed to be in a position to hold their new crOp as long as they care to and the bulls are banking on the market being subject- ed to’ very little pressure in the shape of hedging sales. Stocks are 28,000 bushels. In Chicago the prices declin- ed slightly, due principally to the bulge of more than six cents within a week. On the Chicago market No. 2 mixed corn is selling at $1.37(d>1.371/2; N0. 2 yellow $1.37@1.38; December $1.24%; May $12234. A year ago No. 3 corn sold on the local market at $1.35 per bushel. Present prices are: No. 3 corn ............. $1.45 No. 3 yellow ............ 1.47 No. 4 yellow.. .......... 1.45 No. 5 yellow ........ 1.44 OATS. The oat market is firm and active. There is fair buying both fer local use and for eastern shipment nearly all of the time. Cash oats are steady and the receipts are small. Bulls are confident that all conditions favor a firm market. The present stocks are 210,000 bushels. One year ago standard oats were quot- edon the local market at 710. Present Detroit prices are. No. 2 white ......... 74 N0. 3 white ......... 721/2@73 N0. 4 white ......... 711/2@72 RYE. This grain is easy, there is little buy- ing for export, and prices show a de- cline, cash No. 2 now being quoted at $1.35. BARLEY. Barley inactive and steady at $2.50 @260 per cwt. for cash No. 3. BEANS. There is considerable uncertainty of the future trend of values in beans in this state, and many growers are now awaiting developments. In the mean- time, threshing is progressing under favorable weather conditions, with many good yields reported, and the beans are said to be in excellent con- dition. The Colorado crop will be about 35 per cent of last year. In the 5 New England states there was an ex- cess of moisture at harvesting time. Detroit quotes prompt at $7.10 coun- try points. New York is reported at $7.75@8 per cwt for choice pea beans. In Chicago the trade is quiet, with hand- picked pea beans, choice to fancy, steady at $7.75@8, and red kidneys at $11.50@12. SEEDS Seeds are firm at unchangedprices as follows: Prime red clover at, $31; geggmber $30.25; alsike $29; timothy FEEDS. Feed prices are steady with last week, with the following quotations: Bran $45; standard middlings $50; fine middlings $59; coarse corn meal $60@ 61; cracked corn $65; corn and cat chap $53@54 per ton in 100-lb. sacks to jobbers. POTATOES. Buyers are sparing in the purchase of potatoes, and the supply is liberal. Michigan potatoes are improving in quality, and receipts are ample, al- though shipmentsvare held back to a certain extent, due to a scarcity of cars. However, prices at Detroit are steady, Michigan round whites in 150- fund sacks being quoted at $3.756), 1.71m,»¢lstelas§1 .. the some grade is bringing. $3.75 8.86. and in Pitteb h $3.95@4. In 9 Cadillac section e growers are receiving $1.65@1.80 per cwt in bulk at warehouse. ‘ , AY. Trading is steady and firm. Detroit quotations are: No. 1 timothy $28.50 @29; standard andjight mixed $27.50 @28; No. 2 timothy $26.50@27; No. 1 mixed and No. 1 clover $24@25. Pittsburgh—There is a continued demand for the clover grades, which find ready sale. Prices are: No. 1 timothy $29@29.50; No. 1 light clover mixed $28@28.50; No. 1 clover mixed $30@30.50; No. 1 clover $31.50@32. BUTTER. Butter receipts are holding up well, and the quality is improving. At De'h ‘troit fresh creamery is higher at 59% @60; do in 1-lb. bricks 62@64c. Eastern markets are paying a premium for the best makes, creameries ranging from 70@71c for extras and 59@69c for firsts at New York, and western creamery extra bringing 710 in Phila- delphia. In Chicago creamery extras find ready buyers at ‘651/2@66c, .and firsts at 64@64%c. ‘ EGGS. There is a fair supply of eggs com- ing to the local market, and prices are generally higher, Detroit buyers pay- ing 56@61c, according to quality, al- though some firms are offering sev- eral cents more for strictly fancy stock cases “me . ,« 4 _ are apnttle- easierat 57563.52. .

' - . 00L ' Wool trading is generally quiet. due to shortage ”of supplies in grades that are sought by manufacturers. The gov- ernment wool sales will open in Phil- adelphia on November 3, and in Bos- tOn on November 10. Both foreign and domestic wools will be offered. In Bradford, England, prices continue to soar, with rumors that buyers from Central Europe are participating in the bidding. There is less opposition in Boston to the plan of auctioning Brit- ish wools in that market. » DETROIT CITY MARKET Offerings ed the city markets these days are composed mostly of potatoes, root crops and apples of No. 2 grade. The arrival of barrelled stock on the markets is reflected in the large offer- ings of the lower grades of apples; Steele Reds and other highly colored stock found buyers at $2.50@3 per bu; windfalls at $1.75@2. Potatoes were steady $1.45@1.50; cabbage 65@90c; beets $1; carrots $1@1.25; onions at $2.50; parsnips $1.50@2; pumpkins at $1.50@2 per dozen; two cents a pound; ripe tomatoes at $2.50@3; [green tomatoes $1 per bu; hens, live 28@290; springers 26@30c; eggs 600. . , Live Stock Market Service Reports for Thursday, October 23rd BUFFALO.

Under normal conditions deliveries of Ibutter are irregular but the strikes among longshoremen, harbor workers and expressmen has greatly aggravat ed the situation. While the strikes bid fair to be settled very soon their influ- ence will be left for some time as em- bargoes have been placed on ship- ments of butter to this market and many shipments have been sent else- where which would normally have come here. Local consumptive demdnd has , continued strong. In addition there has been considerable export de- mand. As a result of all the condi— tions demand has far exceeded the sup- ply of current receipts and the price of fresh creamery butter has advanc- ed fully three cents since one week ago. In addition it has been necessary to draw on the supply of held butter in local refrigerators. The production of butter is at very low ebb for this sea- son of the year, even though this is the season of minimum production. It is not expected that we will witness any increase in production for some time. Established quotations are as follows: Extras 69c; higher scoring than extras 691/2@70c; firsts 57%@ 68c; seconds 53%,@56%c. Cheese—The cheese situation is greatly st1 engthened because of a very marked revival in export interest. For some time Canada has been the main ._ _ source of supply for exporters but the supply there is running short and pro- duction‘is greatly decreased. Local re- serves are still high ’but would have been materially reduced this week had it not been for the various strikes which held up the loading of outgoing steamers. Local demand has been about normal. While there has been no material increase in prices the mar- ket can be said to be very firm. Quo- tations are as follows: Common to good 26@30c; average run 301/2@30%,c per pound; specials 31@31%c. Eggs. —Receipts of eggs have been low during the Week, primarily be- cause production is about at the mini- mum but also because deliveries have been affected by the strike situation. The stock that is arriving shows a gradual improvement over that of the past few weeks. The storage supply has been drawn on largely to meet the demand. Quotations are as follows: Firsts 60@63c; extra firsts 64@66c; extras 67 @68c Poultry. ——Receipts of poultry ran about normal during the Week. Be- cause the Jewish holidays came to a close last week trade was more active throughout this week. In consequence prices became very firm.

Cattle east of the Missouri river are now marketed largely at ages ranging from sixteen to eighteen months, and cattle are not seen on the ranges these days aged from four to five years, as formerly. This is the age of baby beef. Cattle are slaughtered largely weigh- ing from 150 to 250 pounds less than half a dozen years ago. Ordinary to fair grass steers greatly predominate in the Chicago market, sales of which are made at from $12 and under. Many of the cheaper class of steers are obliged.to compete with canning cows selling fifty cents above such steers. Wisconsin and Michigan are free contributors, the autumn prec- ess of culling dairy herds being in full swing The bulk of the western range cattle have been bringing from $9. 50@ 11, with a limited number going at $13 @13. Because of the high prices demand- ed by corn huskers and shellers, many farmers are letting their hogs attend to the work, and the hogs evidently enjoy it. Ensilage plays an important part in successful feeding of sheep and lambs, says C. W. Tyler, of Burlington, Iowa, who recently bought 540 head of weth- ers and lambs to ship to his big farm of aged sheep ensilage in the morning, and then lets them out on pasture. Af ter running on grass all day, he feeds . them more ensilage about five o ’,clock ‘ and at 6:30 they get a ration of shelled corn, amounting to five bushels for each 100 head. In buying lambs Mr. Tyler likes to buy the big-boned west- ern rangers, and he never buys the small ones, as they are incapable of putting on good gains. He.feeds them a ration of oats until they get to weigh around seventy or eighty pounds. Then he gives them the same ration as the aged sheep, consisting of ensilage, .

And before I knew it, I had to open up a laboratory in Chicago— where I could more easily get expert chemists to properly prepare my formula. That was just three years ago last September.
