sold in the neighborhood, is sent to market.





HIS is the time of the year when the farmer, as well as



the poultryman, markets his surplus fowls'. The writer

has observed the many crates of chickens as they sit upon

the trucks at different railroad stations over the state. What

he has seen leads him to write a short article on the subject.



What do these chicken crates contain? Nearly every one

is crowded with old cock birds, cockerels, or old hens. Usu-

ally not a pullet is to be seen, or, if any at all, there are but

few. This in the main is correct.

house in the fall, winter and spring. Cull out the ones that

should go to market. Keep only those that will improve the

flock next year and those that will yield an income over and

above the amount bf tocd consumed.



Many a @001: bird is sent to market that should be kept to

breed from next year. Many a cockerel that would improve

the egg or meat producing power of the hens next year it





Do not overCrowd the hen’





So, also, there

are hens that should be kept. On the other hand, many pul-

lets are kept that should be sold for table use.



What, then, are some of the points that should be observ-

ed in culling down the flock?



First, the cock bird. If he is pure-bred and from a good

laying strain, if his progeny are quick to mature (that is, if

his cockerels feather quickly, grow their combs early, and

commence to crow when six to eight weeks of age), if. he is

vigorous and healthy, if he crows often during the day, if he

is a bit scrappy, if his feathers are of good lustre, if he moult—

ed early and grew his new feathers quickly—keep him.



Second, what hens should be sold? Send to market those

hens that moulted in July or in August. If a hen is carrying

her old feathers at the time this is being written, keep her.

A good laying hen moults late in (Continued on page 552).

DETROIT, NOVEMBER 1, 1919

CURRENT COMMENT





HE need of the



hour was well ex-

pressed by Secretary

of the Interior Lane,

in his recent plea for

a brief reign of sanity

in the consideration and settlement of

the industrial situation. This expres-

sion, following the breaking up of the

industrial conference, of which he was

chairman, is one which every Ameri-

can should adopt as his slogan, since

collective sanity of necessity depends

upon individual habits of thought.

General introspection on the part of

every citizen, coupled with a careful

analysis of the situation with which

the country is confronted would be a

long step toward the solution of the

problems incident to that situation.



If we take stock of the business sit-

uation we find it generally good. Mon-

,. ey is plentiful, labor is well employed

and the average industry is in a pros-

perous condition. Our resources have

scarcely been impaired by the war and

the future logically holds bright pros-

pects for a period of unusual business

prosperity. The only “fly in the oint-

ment” appears to be a condition of

great unrest which present efforts

have not succeeded in quieting and

which threatens the promised prosper-

ity of the nation. This condition is ap-

parently aggravated by the evident de-

termination of several industrial class-

es of our citizens to protect their class

interest during the reconstruction pe-

riod at all hazards and without regard

to the general public interest. In the

majority of cases there is probably no

lack of patriotic motive in the position

taken by class leaders in this indus-

trial controversy, while in specific in-

stances it can hardly be doubted that

the greed of capital, the ambitions of

labor leaders or the Jockeying of poll-

ticians are important, if not controll-

ing factors. But the tendency on all

sides to substitute force for reason,

and threats for conciliation makes the

situation not only dangerous but a real

national crisis.



Apparently there has been a general

failure on the part of factional leaders

to appreciate the self-evident fact that

permanent class prosperity cannot be

built up at the expense of other class-

es. There must be an equitable divi-

sion of the rewards of industry to in-

sure a general and stable prosperity.

There must also be continued and sta-

ble production in all essential lines to

the same end if that end is to be real-

ized. Unemployment as a result of

strikes and lockouts is more uneco-

nomic under present conditions of in-

adequate production than is a similar

condition resulting from general busi-

m deprebsion.





 





 





 





 





The Need

of {the

Hour





Truly the ‘need oi" ‘

on the part of individuals and classes.

The industrial. problem must be settled

by Our people thinking and acting as

Americans, rather than as canployers,

workmen or poIithians, and we have

faith that the spirit of Americanism





cons tent e ort to determine an soul,





table basis for the enticinwt of the

present critical industrial situation

will receive the support of the great

majority of loyal Americans regard-

less of their class affiliation, whether





will prevail over the spirit of greed they be employee, workmen, or farmers.





and ambition in the settlement of these

vexed industrial conditions. To that

end, let us individually support the

American ideal of a square deal, that

its collective realization may be more

quickly possible.





HE Industrial con-



ference called by

President Wilson has

apparently failed to

accomplish even a

measure of its pur-

pose. Its dissolution without results

was brought about by the withdrawal

of the labor section following its fail-

ure to secure the recognition to the

right of collective bargaining. The

President’s appeal to the public sec

tion of the conference to continue de-

liberation and make general recommen-

dation for the solution of the industrial

problem was productive of no practi-

cal results other than a recommenda-

tion that a permanent commission be

appointed to take up the work in view

of the fact that the task was too great

for a body consituted as was the public

section of the industrial conference,

due to the fact that it was not fully

representative of industry. Even in

the matter of extending public knowl-

edge with regard to the points at is-

sue in the present industrial crisis, the

conference failed in the accomplish-

ment of any great results. In the

meantime the industrial condition has

become more critical through the

threatened strike of half a million coal

miners on November 1. This crisis

places the government in a position

where it must act with a firm hand in

the public interest. Already the first

move in this neéessary action has been

taken in the President‘s statement de-

claring a strike of coal miners under

existing conditions to be not only un-

warranted but illegal, and requesting

the withdrawal of the strike order

pending government action in the mat-

ter, and the public is awaiting the re-

sult with interest commensurate with

the importance of the crisis.



In the meantime a general confer-

ence of labor leaders has been called

for an early date for the apparent pur-

pose of uniting on a common program.

It is reported that efforts will be made

to secure the cooperation of organized

farmers in this program on the ground

of a cooperative arrangement for direct

distribution of farm products. There

is also apparent dissention among

labor leaders regarding the nature of

the program to be adopted as evidenc-

ed by a radical element in certain

branches of organized labor as oppos-

ed to the more conservative position

of the leaders of the American Peder

ation of Labor organizations. In some~

cases this radical element is said to

take the extreme position of favoring

“direct action,” which is but another

term for industrial revolution. Anoth-

er disturbing factor in the situation is

an open threat among leaders of or-

ganized railroad workers to call a gen-

eral strike unless a tentative provision

making strikes of railroad employee

illegal is stricken from the proposed.

railroad reorganization bill now pend-

ing in congress.



In view of the uncompromising atti-

tude of the several factions in the pres-

ent industrial controversy, it is evident

that the government is confronted with

a serious task in averting the threat-

ened crisis. The gravity or the situa-

tion will tend to unite government

leadership along constructive rather

than'po'litical lines, and under the cir-

cumstances the government should re-

ceive the united support of a loyal

American citizenship rather than its

condemnation, and constructive sug-

Industrial

Situation





gests of the. state.





So far as the proposed attempt to ef-

fect a combination between organized





labor and organized farmers to con'





trol the industrial situation is concern-

ed, we believe it shouldbelooked up-

on with strong disfavor by the farm-

ers of the country. There is no ques-

tion but that a more economic distri-

bution of farm products among the

consumers of the country is most de-

sirable. There‘ is also‘no doubt that

this desired result could be greatly

facilitated by proper cooperation

among consuming workmen as is fully

evidenced by the- Roachdale plan so

long in successful operation in Eng-

land, but it is more desirable for each

of these industrial classes to conduct

their operations separately rather than

through attempted combination, which

would make this desirable end an ob‘

ject of barter for support of a radical

labor class policy of doubtful benefit

to the country.



The just claims of any large class of

our citizens will be better promoted

without attempted combinations which

might prove most dangerous to the

public interest, thus reacting to the

detriment of the classes concerned as

well as to the public at large. There

is no danger, however, that the organ-

ized farmers of the country will be in-

duced to sell their birthright for a

mess of pottage in this manner. It is

not improbable that in the future, as

in the past, the preservation of the

nation and its institutions may depend

upon the wise and constructive action

of its farmers. The present move to-

ward constructive organization of the

farmers of the greatest agricultural

states of the country will place them

in a position to be of great service to

the nation as well as to their industry

during the settlement of these recon-

struction problems, and we believe

they will rise to their opportunity in

this direction.





Jonathan L. Snyder





HE passing of Jonathan L. Sny-

der, president of the Michigan

Agricultural College during the

years of 1896 to 1916, last week, has

led to many tributes in his memory

expressed by members of the college





staff, prominent farmers of the state,

educators who worked with him, and

his own perstmal friends. ,



It is doubtful if there has ever been

an individual connected with Michi-

gan's agricultural institution who has

done so much for the betterment of

the farming and home economic inter-

Tlloush Dr. Samar





,.





ed very broad ideas in regard to 381+-

cultural education which he succeeded

in getting into operation. ,



The early schooling of the deceased

president was such that he gained a

wide knowledge of the ways of the

world which proved valuable to him in

later life. Dr. Snyder was born in But-

ler county, Pennsylvania,» in, 1859. He

Was one of a family of twelve, eleven

of whom grew to maturity. M. A. C.’s

ex-president was a “son of the soil” in

the most lieral meaning of the words.

He was born on a farm and at the age

of twelve was assuming the responsi-

bilities of a vegetable vendor in Alle-

ghany, Pennsylvania. Daily he used

to drive to the city with: his load of

market produce and return in the ev-

enings with varying sums up to fifty '

dollars for his day’s sales.



Butler county was in the midst cf

the wild rush following discovery of

oil about this time and there was a

lawless feeling pervading the whole

community. Young Snyder found it'

necessary in those early days of his

responsibility to carry a loaded revol-

ver beside him on his long homeward

trips’from the city to protect the fam~

ily cash from theft. '



The very earliest education of Dr.

Snyder was procured in the country

schools of Butler county. Here the

fundamentals were~ gained which later

made him So able an executive.



Little Westminster College in Penn-

sylvania served as alma mater for the

whole Snyder family. The institution

was quite near at hand and all the

children who happened to be attend-

ing college at the same time would

rent two or three rooms in the city

and live there, living largely on the

produce of their own farm.



Very soon after Dr. Snyder’s gradu~

ation from Westminster College the

was elected to the superintendency of

schools in Butler county. Shortly af-

terward he was made principal at Alla

ghany, and just previous to coming to

M. A. C. he was made president of‘the

Slippery Rock Normal School of Penn-

sylvania. During his incumbency at

Alleghany one of his notable educa-

tional victories was to procure the es-

tablishment of departments of manual

training and domestic science in the .

school of that city. Though the insti-

gation of theSe departments came

hard, it proved a great victory for the

young pedagogue and served to illus-

trate the practical application side of

his nature.



When Mr. Snyder came to take the

president’s chair at M. A. C. the prob:

lems which presented themselves

might be grouped as the material nec—

essities to the running of the college

and the educational demands of the

state.



At the time of Dr. Snyder’s coming

to Michigan's agricultural school the

institution was very-inadequately situ-

ated with regard to buildings and

funds. During the twenty years he

held the chair of college president he

was largely responsible for the gaining

of the new dormintory for women, the

new agricultural hall, and a new engi-

neering edifice.



The first five years of Dr. Snyder’s

incumbency were filled with numerous

snags in getting enough money to run

the institution from year to year. It

was necessary to apply to the legisla-

ture each session for appropriations

to carry the expenses for the next sea-

son There was no money to provide

for the increased growth of the insti-

tution and it was impossible to carry

on any extension work under such a

financial arrangement.



During the first five years this pov-

erty of the institution was brought

home very clearly. ‘ He took up the

matter With the legislature and secur-

ed the passage of the law which grants

the college the mill tax. To Dr. Spy:

HE chief and outstanding ob-

, jects of applying lime or carbon-

ate of lime are two: The car—

rection or neutralization of acidity or

sourness and the improvemwit of tilth

or mechanical conditibn of soils. In-

cidentally, they serve other useful pur-

poses, as will be seen. Acidity or sour-

ness in a soil is a property or quality





* distinctly detrimental to the thrift of





most farm crops; lime and carbonate

of lime combine with and neutralize

the soil’s acids and the excess used

renders the soil slightly alkaline, a

condition favorable to crop growth. In

this way lime and other alkaline lime

compounds may restore and enhance

fertility.



Wet, low-lying and ill-drained soils

are especially apt to become sour.

Soils consisting essentially of vegeta-

ble organic matter, as mucks and peat

loams, are usually, though not invari-

ably, sour. Again, strange as it may

seem, -many light, upland soils, are

slightly acid, presumably by reason of

the washing out and leaching away of

their original store of carbonate of

lime or its withdrawal by many years

of cropping.



In all soils, but more especially in





. sandy and-gravelly loams, there is a





tendency for the lime compounds to

disappear, partly through removal by

crops but more particularly by their

solution and passage into strata below

the zone occupied by growing roots.

Carbonate of lime is fairly soluble in

water containing carbon dioxide, and

all soil moisture is usually saturated

with that gas, and thus the soil’s_ lime

is constantly washed downwards and

may largely be carried off by drainage

water. This fact explains the pres-

ence of carbonate of lime in the wa-

ters of Our rivers, lakes and wells, and

it is in this way that thousands of

tons of this valuable constituent of our

soils annually find their way to the

sea. Once the available lime has dis-

appeared, the tendency will be for the

soil to become sour. Some soils, by

reason of their origin, are well sup-

plied with carbonate of lime for years

of cultivation. Such are almost invar-

iably strong, productive soils and stock

fed on their crops are thrifty, With

plenty of “bone.” But there are other

soils—especially many clays, silts and

mucks—that are poor in lime from the

outset and these, under cultivation, be-

come poorer and poorer in this con-

stituent.

Testing Soil for Acidity.



Any farmer may for himself deter-

mine whether or no his soil has acidity

or sourness. Blue and red litmus pa-

per may be purchased at any drug

store. It is very cheap and it is well

to secure the best quality. It can fre-





L quently be bought in small books, con-





taining from twenty-five to fifty strips



of the paper, each abOut one-half inch

wide by two or three inches long, pro-

tected by heavy cover.‘ These “books”

are very convenient and suitable. They

should be kept in a clean, dry, prefer-

ably wide mouth, well-corked bottle.

When tearing or cutting out a strip of

the litmus paper for use, use a pair of

forceps ‘or scissors, as the paper is

sensitive and the fingers may cause its

reddening.



The test may be made in either of

two very simple ways, and when care-

fully carried out, an accurate test will





"be made. The first is made as follows: .

Functions of Lime and Its Compounds

say, half a dozen places on the area to

be examined, and mix well, using the

trowel or a clean piece of board. Do

not handle the soil. Take a small

quantity (a few ounces) of the mixed

soil, and putting it in a clean cup,

pour on a little boiled water and stir

with a clean piece of stick or spoon

until the mass is of the consistency

of a very thick paste. Into this “mud”

press a piece of the blue litmus paper

by means of a small stick, inserting

the paper until one- -half to two- thirds

of its length is within the pasty mud.

At the end of fifteen minutes, careful-

ly draw out the paper and note if the

part that has been in contact with the

soil has turned red. If so, the soil is

acid.



The other test is made as follows:

Place a strip of blue litmus paper in

the bottom of a clean, dry glass tum-

bler and over it place a round “filter

paper” (purchasable at the druggist’s)

or if such is not readily obtainable, a

piece of clean, white blotting paper

out to fit the bottom of the tumbler.

On this put a few ounces of the soil to

be tested, collected and mixed as al-

ready described, and pour on sufficient

boiled water to moisten or wet the soil

thoroughly, but none standing, and set

aside for half an hour or longer. To

examine the litmus paper, the tumbler

is inverted; viewed through the bottom

of the glass its color will be well

brought out against the white filter

paper. As a check and to insure that

any change in color may not be due to

acidity of the water or filter paper us-

ed, a blank test should be made in the

same manner, using no soil.



The influence of lime and its com-

pounds upon the tilth and texture of

the soil constitute its most valuable

property. This is most marked and

most beneficial in the case of clay

loams, rendering them less sticky and

cohesive when wet and more friable

and mellow when dry. This is brought

about by the aggregation or gathering

together of the finer particles of the





clay into larger units, a process known

as flocculation. ’ This vastly improves

plastic soils, converting them from a

stiff, impervious and almost untillable

condition into one which renders them

easier and less expensive to work.

Further, it makes’clays drier, warmer,

better aerated, with a larger content

of moisture available for plant growth

and thus brings about a more favor-

able and ready condition for the exten-

sion of the root system in search of

food. It permits the farmer to culti-

vate his clay loam earlier in the spring

for flocculation assists drainage, and

thus will insure, in most seasons, ear-

lier Seeding and increased yields. These

effects of lime and its compounds on

clays, which may be summed up in the

word mellowing, may be considered on

a par with their power to neutralize

acidity.



On light soils—sandy and gravelly

loams—lime and carbonate of lime are

also beneficial, but not in so marked a

manner as in the case of clays. The

action here is to cement slightly the

soil grains, rendering the soils some-

what heavier or closer in texture and

thus being less open and porous, they

are less readily dried out in seasons

of drought.



It is well known that certain crops

and trees thrive best on soils that are

rich in carbonate of lime, but there is

a microscopic vegetable life within the

soil that also needs this constituent

for its best development. The larger

number of the various types 0r classes

of soils consist mainly of disintegrat.

ed and somewhat altered rock parti-

cles—grains of sand, particles of clay,

silts, etc.,—but an essential and im-

portant constituent of all arable soils

is organic matter—humus or humus-

forming material—the result of the

partial decay of the roots, leaves, etc.,

of many generations of plants. This





semi-decayed organic matter is the

source and storehouse of nitrogen, the

dominant and most costly element of

plant food.





But before this humus-





 





nitrogen can be utilized by growing'

crops—and indeed by all the higher

plants—it must be oxidized and con-

verted into nitrates. This process,

known as nitrification, is the life work

of certain vegetable microorganisms

or bacteria within the soil.



In soils destitute, or practically so,

of carbonate of lime, and especially in

ill-drained, water-logged soils, the de~

cay of‘ the organic matter is accom-

plished by the development of certain

organic acids.

neutralize these acids, making the soil

suitable for the growth of the bacteria

and, further, furnish a base or alkali

to combine with the nitric acid pro-

duced by them. The nitrate of lime

so formed is, no doubt, the principal

direct and immediate source of the

nitrogen supply of our field crops.



In acid-correcting and in supplying

available lime, as well as considering

the various forms on a basis of equal

purity, fifty-six pounds of quicklime is

the equal of seventy-four pounds of

freshly slaked lime and of 100 pounds

of carbonate of lime, whether it be as

marl or ground limestone. Therefore,

if quicklime were worth $5.00 per ton,

ground limestone, equally free from

impurities, would be worth $2.80 per

ton, and freshly slaked lime $3.80 per

ton. While the above comparisons, as

to equivalent weights and values, may

serve in a general way, an analysis is

necessary when the exact lime value

of any particular sample or samples, is

desired.



But the cost of material should not in

all cases settle the question which of

these two forms will be best to apply.

There are two factors beside cost that

should receive attention—the charac-

ter of the soil and the rapidity of ac-

tion required.



Quicklime and slaked lime are not

so desirable or safe for light sandy

and gravelly loams as are ground lime-

stone and marl. These soils are usu~

ally poor in organic matter and the ef-

fect of lime, as is well known, is to

hasten the oxidation and dissipation

of this constituent. Therefore, unless

the lime is applied in small dressings,

(less than one thousand pounds per

acre), and at long intervals, the humus

of the soil—certainly one of its most

valuable constituents—.xvould be un-

duly reduced in amount and thus the

fertility of the soil seriously impaired.

Carbonate of lime (limestone and

marl) is much milder in its action and

an excess can do little or no harm.



For heavy clays quicklime or slaked

lime is to be preferred. it is true that

these compounds are converted in the

course of time into carbonate of lime

within the soil, but being more vigor-

ous and active from the outset and be-

ing in a finer powder than the ground

limestone, they pass more readily into

solution, thus allowing a more com,

plete and uniform distribution through-

out the soil. As a result their influ-

ence in flocculating the clay particles

will be more rapid and improvement

in tilth will be more quickly obtained.

For the same reason, the chemical ac-

tion also of these forms is more vigor-

ous than that of the ground limestone

and marl.



On soils rich in organic matter,

mucks and peaty loams, the more

caustic forms—quicklime and slaked

lime—may be used, and in fairly large





amounts—say, two to, 'four ‘ tons per. , .

acre—if strong acidity of soil is shown

as is very frequently the case.

ICHIGAN is building good roads



by thermiles and with hundreds



of thousands of cubic yards of

gravel she has only fairly started on

the job. During the next few years

almost every farm in some of the

southern counties will be inspected

with an eagle eye by road officials, and

soundings will be taken to find gravel

that will pass the required test for

road construction. .



It is not an easy job to find good

gravel would be scarce some day.

pits were plentiful and the quality was

good for many years during and after

Many farmers found

it easy to excavate a foot or two and

find plenty on one/or more knolls‘on

their farms. Sometimes these eventu-

ally became big pits 'and the whole

neighborhood was allowed to take out

all that was needed.



About ten years ago when the pres-

ent system of building gravel roads

started it was freely predicted that

gravel would be scarce some day.

From that time to the present, mil—

lions of cubic yards of this valuable

material has been taken out of thou-

sands of old and new pits on knolls,

side' hills, and lately deep in the banks

of certain rivers and smaller streams.



Some time ago the road engineer of

Calhoun county built up a sort of hy-

draulic system by means of which he

washed down and out the whole side

hill on the edge of a big cat-hole. The

material on its way down hill was car-

ried by metal troughs to a washer and

elevator that washed out and screened

the gravel and deposited it in an ele-

vated hopper. Wagons could be filled

without any shoveling and very quick-

ly. This plan worked nicely but the

elevator buckets and bearings wore

out too fast.



The idea of using this hydraulic sys-

tem of getting out gravel was invented

by this road engineer and the plan was

noted, and we made pictures thereof

for several road-building periodicals

throughout the country. Later on a

big cylinder was perfected to take the

place of the bucket elevator.) In an-

other article we will illustrate that

plan.



But some time ago this road engi-

neer and a farmer found that it would

be a great scheme to get the gravel

deep in the ground under water and

alongside the St. Joseph river for

building many miles of good roads

near by.



So they went at and perfected the

machinery shown in the four pictures.

There was a small pit in the bank and

many hundreds of loads of fine gravel

platform nearly sixty feet above the

ground. The'cable can be anchored

into the ground anywhere or to a big

tree, as the pit is lengthened or wid-

ened. In this case a tree was used.

Another picture shows the big buck-

et just as it got back from the top of

the elevator. It made the water splash

as it hit the surface and settled down

into the gravel many feet below. The

have been secured by shoveling out by

hand into wagons. But water soon ran

into the pit and the best gravel was

supposedly submerged for keeps.



As this novel plan for securing grav-

el under such conditions has never

been illustrated and described in any

farm journal in the country, we here-

with give some of the details, and

more particularly because a farmer

worked it out and built the elevator

and washing and screening devices

shown.



One picture shows the wire cable

leading over the X-shaped posts, down

over the open pit full of water, and

up to the top of the elevator dumping

hauling cable is so arranged that it

will operate the bucket by gripping

and pulling and settling back until it

is full and then is hauled up and out

on the bank and up the steeply inclin-

ed way as shown in the two illustra-

tions below.



Another picture shows the elevator

in detail. It is built of stout though

fairly light timbers and is thoroughly

trussed in every direction. It has to

be high enough to allow the unwashed

gravel to travel by gravity as it is sep-

arated and washed from the soil,

stones and coarser pebbles and graded

as desired when it is delivered into the

big hopper ready to drop into the wait-





atcrials





ing'wagons and gas tractor trucks.



The powerful steam engine that op-

erates the bucket and cable is located

where the engineer can overlook the

whole of the working device, except

when the bucket is submerged. He han-

dles the levers and cable drum to per-

fection, just as is done in hauling ma-

teiral up many stories in the big steel

and concrete structures in the largest

cities. And such Operators have to

keep their eyes strictly on the job ev-

ery second of the time when the cable

is moving.



The same picture shows how easy it

is for the wagons and trucks to load

up with no manual labor whatever. At

this plant, probably the first of this

kind in the state in such work, the

gravel is taken out from deep in the

w”er and elevated, washed and screen-

' and supplied to about a dozen to

‘ een wagons as fast as they can haul



3,- material away to the road bed.



Some of the road strips are several

miles away. Some strips are from one

to four miles long. The first layer is

put on without taking so much pains

regarding the quality and per cent of

gravel; but the upper part has to

strictly conform to the requirements

of the state highway department.



The fourth picture was taken on the

opposite side of the elevator. It shows

the elevated shed that contains the

powerful gas engine that runs the

screens and shakers. There is still an-

other gas engine on the river bank

that pumps the water for flushing and

washing.



The big stones, sticks and all for-

eign matter is conveyed out and down

chutes that take it into any cat-hole

or depression near by.



When the bottom of the gravel layer

is reached the cable will be shifted to

one side a little and hundreds more

loads taken out. So far as can be de-

termined there is gravel enough in and

around the pit shown in the first two

pictures to build roads for weeks and

months to come.



The same company has now com-

menced to build another plant in a dif-





ferent part of the county to help cover.

more upon the operator than upon the

machine. Too much stress can not be

placed upon a thorough understanding

of the principles of a gasoline or ker-

Gathering and





[TH a potato crop somewhat

W below normal it is urged by ag-

ricultural department men to

give close attention to the methods of

handling and storing the tdbers grown.

In Maine the potatoes are gathered

in wooden splint baskets, from which

they are dumped into barrels and

hauled to storage houses or shipping

points. The empty barrels in either

case are returned to the field. In

western New York and in Michigan

and Wisconsin it is the general cus-

tom to gather the tubers in slatted

crates in which they are hauled direct-

ly to the shipping point or to the

storage houses. This method is con-

sidered much more satisfactory than

that practiced in Maine because it re-

duces the chances of rough handling,

especially when the digger empties the

first basket which goes into the bar-

rel. The usual custom is to dump the

potatoes into the barrel without mak-

ing any pretense of tipping it in order

to protect them from the force of the

fall The injurious effect of such

rough handling, especially if the tu-

bers are somewhat immature, can be

readily appreciated. Much of this in-

jury could be avoided by a little care,

when emptying the first two or three

baskets, in tipping the barrel, or low-

ering the basket into the barrel.



In western Minnesota and points

west of that territory the tubers are

gathered in wire baskets, from which

they are thrown on the grader,

screened and put in two-bushel sacks,

or from two to three baskets are emp-

tied into each sack, which is then

hauled to the storage house without





 





 





tying, the grading in the latter. case

being done in the storage house as the

crop is marketed. In the east little

grading is done in the field other than

leaving the small, scabhy, diseased,

sun~burned or badly cut tubers on the

ground to be gathered up later for

starch making of for stock feeding.

Little, if any, care is exercised in this

respect when the crop is sold directly

from the field.



In the west, where field sizing is

most commonly practiced, it is the

rule to have the potato sizer mounted

on metal or wooden runners to} which

one or two horses.are attached. The

grader follows the diggers as they

move back and forth across the field.

Usually one operator can size and sack

the potatoes gathered by three dig-

gers. Where the crop is handled in

this manner all the sound tubers are

picked up at one operation. This de-

vice screens and separates the crop

into two sizes, and the operator who

manipulates it is supposed to remove

all of the sunburned, diseased and

badly cut or bruised tubers as they

pass over the screen, such tubers go-

ing into the culls.



In regions where late potatoes are

produced on a commercial scale the

problem of storage is an important

one, as it is physically impossible as

well as economically undesirable to at-

tempt to market the entire crop in

the autumn. The ony way in which

the potatoes can be handled success-

fully so as to insure a uniform supply

throughout the winter is to provide

sufficient storage on the farm or at

the shipping station for sixty~five 'to

seventy-five per cent of the total crop.

Every'commercial grower should make

such provision as may be necessary to

care for at least seventy-five per cent

of his crop, and often he would find it

convenient to be able to store all 0

his crop. '

justments. Then when by accident.

necessity for repairs, or as a result of

meddling, these parts are put out of

adjustment, causing the engine to miss

or otherwise run improperly, they can

be, correctly adjusted. A tractor op-

erator should train himself to tell the

condition of his machine by the sound.

The ear can be trained much more

rapidly than one would believe at first

thought, and can become a very sensi-

tive and accurate indicator of the con-

dition of the machine. Missing cylinv

ders, riding valves, leaking manifolds,

dry gearing, incorrect timing, and oth-

er incorrect adjustments or failure of

automatic devices may be first detects

ed by the car.



In most engines, when burning ker-

osene there will be more or less u’n-

burned fuel which will work by the

piston rings down into the crank case,

diluting the oil there. Some engines

are worse than others in this respect.





A good operator trill change the oil in

a kerosene engine twice a week. The

bearings will last longer and the com-'

pression will he better for ,so doing.

More oil will be used, butless fuel and

fewer repairs will be necessary.



Overloading is the ‘most common

abuse of the tractor. Demonstrators

and salesmen do.it to make a good

showing, and the purchaser desires to

show himself'as effective an operatOr

as the demonstrator, believing the

tractor should do what it did on exhib-

ition. The tractor will do more work

per season if loaded reasonably, for

by so doing the delays and re airs will

be reduced to a minimum. I the ma-

chine operates smoothly and powerful.

1y, it should not be changed and tamp~

ered with in an effort to make it do

more. “Tinkeritis” is a sad malady for

a tractor operator; There is a wide

difference between inspecting and

tinkering. Work overtime in inspect-

but sparingly in tinkering—JP. M.





toring Potatoes





Various types of storage places may

be employed, such as pits, cheaply or

substantially constructed dugouts or

cellars with straw and earth covered

roofs such as may be found in the

arid or semi-arid' regions of the west,

or a similar type with water-tight roof,

which is in use in the middle west and

some portions of the east, or the more

expensive type of house such as is

found in Maine. '



The successful storage of potatoes

involves their protection from ex-

tremes of cold and heat and their

maintenance at a temperature of from

thirty~five to forty degrees Fahrenheit.

Sufficient ventilation must be provided

to remove foul air and excess mois-

ture. The storage house must be so

constructed as to exclude light, as the

table quality of potatoes quickly dete-

riorates in the light. The tubers should

be dry and reasonably free from dirt

when put into storage, as an excess of

moisture or soil increases the amount

of heat generated in a newly stored

supply of potatoes. The soil tends to

close up the spaces between the tu-

bers. thus cutting off air circulation

and helping to retain heat that would

otherwise escape. All diseased, badly

cut or bruised tubers should be remov-

ed from the crop before putting it into

storage. It is not advisable to permit

the stored potatoes in any bin to ex-

ceed a depth of five or six feet, and

the floor dimensions of a single bin

should not be greater than 12x12 feet

unless it is provided with a series of

ventilating shafts for the escape of

moisture and heat. Ventilated divi-

sion walls and floors are also very de.

sirable.



Loss From Deep Storage.



Some commercial growers and ship-

pers of potatoes store in bins so deep

that the tubers form a layer ten to fif—

teen feet thick. This is almost certain

to entail a much heavier shrinkage





 





 





loss than when stored eta/depth of.

not more than six feet. The heavier

shrinkage is the result of the greater.

amount of heat generated by a large

pile of potatoes, which results in a

higher moisture loss as well as a heav-

ier 1053 from decay, as heat and mois«

ture both help to develop organisms

causing tuber rot. The losses under

these conditions may reach twenty-five

per cent and where all diseased tubers.

have not been removed at the. time of

storing the loss may exceed that

figure. '



. Potatoes stored throughout the win.

ter season under conditions meeting

the requirements suggested above

should not sustain an actual loss ‘in

storage of more than five per cent, and

under exceptionally good conditions it

may be as low as three or four per

cent. Assuming that five per cent repf

resents the average loss under good

storage conditions and that twenty per

cent would be a fair average allow-

ance under poor conditions, the actual

monetary loss sustained by the grower

or dealer on 300,000 pounds of potatoes

would in the one case be 15,000 pounds

and in the other 60,000 pounds, or, ex-

pressed in dollars on a basis of One

dollar per hundred weight, a loss of

$150 under good, and of $600 under

poor storage conditions. Besides this,

there is an additional loss in storing

potatoes to a depth of ten to fifteen

feet which is not usually taken into

consideration, and that is the mechan-

ical injury through the cracking and

bruising of the tubers at the bottom of

the pile due to the great weight or the

potatoes on top.

Farm Management Factors in

the Cost of Crop Production





By Char/e:





’ HE cost or production of farm

crops is determined by a group

of factors which depend on the



ability of the farmer as a manager_ to

organize in such a manner that the

crops are produced with a minimum of

labor and expense. These factors are:



1. Arrangement of Fields. It is not

always possible to have the field ar-

rangement of the farm exactly as one

wishes. There may be some natural

formation that necessitates an ar-

rangement far-from the ideal but this

condition can often be improved ‘to the

«extent that working the farm is much

more efficient and easier. ‘



An ideal arrangement would include

the following features: All fields eas-

ily accessible to the buildings, no an-

gles in the lanes or driveways where

. turning with heavy loads would be

necessary, and as little land as possi-

‘ble taken up in lanes and division

lines. .With this arrangement we can

save time by shorter trips to the barn,

draw“ larger loads by avoiding short

turns, utilize all the land for crops

that is possible, and eliminate waste

places that harbor .weeds and plant

diseases.



2. Size and Shape of Fields. The

shape of the fields is equally import-

ant. Rectangular fields with square

corners are the cheapest to handle.

Uniform shape and size of fields per-

mit efficient use of large" team units

and modern machinery. Large fields

decrease the cost of every operation

and also cost very'much less to fence.

If possible it is advisable to have the

number of fields the same as the num-

ber of years necessary to complete a

cycle of the rotation. For example, for

a rotation of corn, oats and barley,

wheat, and clover, requiring four years

fora single field to produce all those

crops, an ideal arrangement would be

to have four uniform fields or, if very

large, eight.



3. Rotations. The rotation deter-

mines to a large extent the distribu-

. tion of labor on the crops. If the prop-

er crops are chosen there is a se-

quence of operation throughout the

season. This enables us to care for

the crops with a minimum amount of

labor atany one time. Since labor is

from forty to fifty per cent of ”the en-

tire expense ot‘ growing a crop, econ-

omy in this respect influences cost of

production. A properly planned rota-

tion will also keep the land in the best

of cendition and larger yields will be

secured from a given amount of mon-

ey and energy expended.



“4. Efficient Use of Labor. The effi-

cient.use of labor is the most import-

ant of all the factors limiting the prof~





H. 'Gm‘ve:





duction. In an article of this descrip-

tion it is impossible to make specific

recommendations but these general

rules and principles’apply in practical-

1y all instances. '





6. Arrangement and Plan of Build:





ings. Well , arranged and properly

plannedrbuildings make the storing of

crops much cheaper. The crops can be

stored much more quickly and easily.

If the buildings have been located so

that they are convenient to the fields

and the interior so planned that it is

easy to get the crops in and out, valu-

able time is Saved. ,The storage space

in the barn should be arranged to

meet the needs of the particular crops

of the rotation So that each crop is

stored in its respective space. Gran-

aries should be so located that putting

the grain in. and out can be done with-

out heavy and wearisome lifting. The

roofs, should be so constructed that

hay slings and horse forks may be

used, and many other conveniences

that go to make the handling of the

crops less burdensome. All of these

things tend to reduce the cost of pro-

duction. A great deal of thought‘can

be given to this subject that will yield

good returns in time saved and satis-

faction to the manager.



7. Marketing. Marketing, although

not a factor in‘production is very im-

portant since the crop does not actu-

ally yield a profit until disposed of.

The cost of marketing is often an ex-

pensive item and depends, to a large

degree, on the farmer as a manager to

coordinate this with the other work so

that the transportation of the crops to

the market will not interfere with oth-

er farm activities.



“Do you think it pays us to raise

oats?” asked a thinking young farmer

the other day after he had figured out

the yield per acre on his oat crop for

this year. “We have threshed out only

twenty-eight bushels per acre and real-

ly that won’t pay us as much wages as

if we had worked on the road.” He

was right. The oat crop was very light

and when he expected a yield of sixty

bushels he got less than half that

amount. It seemed like a losing prop-

osition but he was thinking in terms 01'

growing oats only. Had he been think-

ing in terms of his whole'rotation or

the whole farm business his remark

might well have been, “Of course, oats

have been a poor crop this year but

our corn crop has offset this so that

on the average we have a normal

yield. We can’t do away with the oats

entirely. They serve as a good crop

to balance the rotation and we need

both the grain and straw for the stock.

There is little else for us to do just at





its on farm products. This factor is“ the season thatweare working on the





dependent on practically every other

factor involved and is of such import-

ance that we will deal with this phase

of farm management in another article.



5. Farm Equipment. The cost of

production is also dependent on the

equipment of the farm. . It can be de-

creased if we do not confuse proper

equipment with over-equipment. It is

not the number'of machines'nor the

money invested in" equipment that

counts, but machines“ that are adapted

to the specific needs. of the individual

might be idle[ The‘ machinery neces-

sary for the crop is just‘the‘ same as

we use for the wheat and barley, so

RESIDENT N. P. HULL. in his

P opening address before the third



annual meeting ~of the Michigan

Milk Producers’ Association, emphasiz-

ed the economic phase of the dairying

business. He dwelt upon the incon-

sistency of dairymen going out and

buying cows of unknown value at com-

paratively long prices to produce milk

at less than cost. The time has arriv-

ed, he believes, when the dairy indus-

try should be established upon busi-

ness principles. To do this will re-

quire first a thorough-going knowledge

of dairying and also a practical coop-

crative organization that will enable

the owners of cows to gain the advan-

tages of all legitimate economies in the

purchase of supplies and the market-

ing of their product.



Be made special mention of the

work being done in the Detroit area.

The producers’ associations in this

area discontinued their local organiza-

tion less than two years ago and turn-

ed over to the present state associa-

tion the cooperative projects that had

been started. Soon after the state as-

sociation had taken charge the present

milk commission idea was inaugurated.

' Through this plan there has been less

bickering and bitter feeling, no strikes

have developed, and better prices have

been paid to the producers of this area





than to dairymen in another area in'





the central states.



President Hull warned the members

present not to be too sanguine regard-

ing the future of the association. He



_felt confident that the benefits deriv-

ed through the organization had been

‘ sufficient to prevent disruption through

outside influences. There is danger,

however, that jealousies might develop

from within thatnwould threaten the

usefulness of the institution. His ob-



Servations had led him to the conclu-

sion that’ more farmers’ organizations

are wrecked through internal disrup-

tion than from outside competition.



Business Matters.



’ In the business session following

the address of the president, a motion

to change the manner of selecting offi-

cers from the direct vote of the dele-

gates present to selection by the board

of directors was defeated after a rath-

er spirited debate. The members pres-

ent also favored the nomination of pan;

didates’ for officers by a nominating

committee instead of having selections

made from the floor. Mr. Porter was

chosen chairman of the nominating

committee. Milo D. Campbell was ap-

pointed to head the cemmittee on res—

olutions.



' The following officers were re-elect-

ed for the. ensuing year: President.

N. P. Hull; vice-president, J. C. Near;

secretary and selling agent, R. C.

Reed; treasurer, H. W. Norton. The

three directors elected for one year

were: Milo D. Campbell, M. L. Noon

and L. C. Harwood; for two years, R.

c. Potts, M. W. ‘Willard and A.’ M.

Ackles, and for three years, J. Brack-

enberry, W. J. Barnard and Dr. Mc-

Kenney.



' The report of Treasurer Norton and

of the auditing committee showed the

association to be in excellent financial

state and that the books of the treas-

urer were in perfect balance with those

of the bank. The total disbursements

:for the year amounted to..$22,285.72.

The total resources including thevbal-

Two investigators working seperate—

farms in each county that.the farmers.

were losing on an average $29.39 per

cow in one county, and $9.69 per cow in

the other. The variation in"the losses

was explained by Prof. Anderson to be

due largely to the proportion of .home-

grown feeds produced upon the farms.

showed the loss in these communities

to be $10.60 and $10.24 per cow re-

spectively.



Some however, have raised the ques-

tion that the receipts on dairy farms

were not limited to the income from

dairy products. To determine there-

fore, whether these 'farmers were en-

hancing their incomes from any other

source a careful analysis was made of

the entire business of ten farmers. The

total receipts from all sources, includ-

ing crop and animal sales were listed,-

from which was deducted the total





cost. This work revealed the follow-





ing situation: Farm No. 1 lost $388

during the year under consideration.

Farm No. 2 lost 415; farm 'No. 3.

made a profit of $1, 035; farm No. 4:

made a profit of $1086; farm No.5

also made a profit of $575; Penn No

No.8 had a profit of $106, and farm

farming.



The question was asked Prof. Ander-

son if, in the light of these findings

it would not be wise for dairy farmers





to dispose of their cattle and farms. Tom





this he replied that it would not. Men

who have spent their lives in the pro

duction of dairy products would natur-

ally know more about this line of bus-

iness than they do about other kinds

of work.~ It is better, he thought, to

suffer a little loss here—temporarily,

he hoped—41111311 to fly to other troubles

we know not of.

upon the successes of the past year.

He declared that the association has

been instrumental in improving the

marketing conditionaHe warned that

we should not severely criticise those

who earnestly question methods and

policies of the organization. Often

these men are responsible for. progress

and for giving the institution a genu-

inely healthy tone. Their value is fre-

quently greater than is that of mem-

bers who accept every act of the or-

ganization without question. '





State lines are gradually disappear-

ing. More and more are we depending

upon Washington as our really func—

tioning government. An effort is now

being made to amend the Lever act to

provide fer the appointment of twen- -

ty-four' men with power to fix prices

on certain lines of products. The com-

mission thus provided ‘is to be domi-

nated by consumers. The result of

such an arrangement would be, accord-

ing to Mr. Campbell, to first .set the





‘ price that the consumer would be will-





ing to pay and then to work from this

point back to the producer, allOwing

the last named person whatever might

remain after each factor or dealer had

taken his commission. Proposals of

this kind can be met through organi-

zation. it is imperative not only for

their self-defense but also for the pur-

pose of working out economies in pro-

duction and marketing, for our dairy-

men and farmers to organize. Per-

haps farmers have really greater need

for getting together than have any 'oth-

or class, since no profession requires

greater skill and longer training and

no other business is carried on under

such uncertain conditions.

Ohio Dairyme'n Have Trouble.



The Detroit Commission method of

determining the price of milk was com-

plimented by Prof. Occar Erf, of the

Ohio University. This plan, however,

was tried out in the state of Ohio and

failed to work, because .the members

of the commission were apparently in~‘

terested in only one thing, and that

was in putting the price of milk down.

The personnel of the commission is the

big factor in the success of such a.

plan. . .



Prof. Erf reviewed ciganization ex-

periences extending over nearly a

quarter of a/century. About twenty-

three years ago dairymen of eastern

Ohio affected a promising organiza-

tion. Milk was then selling at nine

cents a gallon. . Some of the members

wished to ask eleven cents of the dis-

tributors, while others held out for

eighteen cents. The result was a split

in the ranks. of the association which

virtually nulified its usefulness.





Some ten years ago the Ohio .Ex-

periment Station undertook to secure

costs on the production of milk. A

careful study revealed the fact that

the owners were receiving 1.87 cents

per hour for time devoted to dairying

while hired help on farms was then

paid an; average of $26 per month, or

eight cents per hour. In employing '

such labor for milking cow's the farm-

er received only onequarte'r of what

he was obliged to pay the hired man.

A recent study of milk ecsts: complet-

ed in September showed the investi-

gators that the average heads were

Shall We Buy Feed in Carl





 





ots?l





By IV. F. Taylor





AM sure that in a large number 01'.

I cases this question ought to be an-



swered in the affirmative. .1 think

so because I find an increasing number

who do purchase most of their feeds in

this way. When compared with the

people who- still buy feed of the home

dealer, often taking home but a single

sack. at a time, the number of large

buyers seems small after all. Some. of

those who do buy directly, are hating

difficulties that well nigh discourage

them, while others who have been in

the habit of buying largely together

have practically given it up, and now

are going to the local business man,

and paying his price, asking no ques-

tions. I have written some things re-

garding this subject before, but am

sure from what I am learning that

much more should be said.



Right at the beginning let me speak

regarding the attitude of the farmer

toward all direct effort, either in buy-

ing or selling. Too often we‘do not

think of these matters until we become

provoked over the action of some local

dealer in our town. Then we are

ready to do almost everything to even

up with that man. But this is a poor

time to start in a cooperative venture.

Generally speaking, I have little” con-

fidence in the good judgment of a man

when he is angry. The experience of

the average farmer in large business

transactions is limited. To do busi-

ness successfully requires a man with

a strong heart and a clear head. Such

a man will tell you, if you ask him,

that when you are mad is a poor time

to do anything, but to sit down and

think it all over. I trust we are not

organizing cooperative associations,

building or renting warehouses, and

gathering andshipping live stock, be-

cause we are mad at the warehouse

man, or “at the outs” with the buyer

of live stock. Rather, are we not do-

ing our own marketing because we can

do it withJess labor, and much less

expense than the private business

man? ,- _ ,



If we have united to do business for

ourselves because we realize that we

,can do it more economically than the

the dealer can do it for us, (and this

proves to be truein our experience),

our cooperative venture is going to

prove of lasting benefit to us. But if

we enter upon the practice of cooper-

ative buying or selling with but little

knowledge of business, prompted by a

notion that our dealer is' not treating

us fairly, the chances are that we may

make some bad mistakes, and that af-

ter we have gotten over our feeling

against the local business man, we

may abandon the effort to do business

for ourselves.



I believe it to be the privilege and

the duty of farmers generally to com-

bine and ship their live stock. I am

certain, that wherever potatoes are

produced and shipped in any quantity,

the growers should combine and do

the shipping for themselves. In the

grain growing districts the growers

should handle their own grainyand in

dairy localities farmers

their feeds in cariots,‘:’taking teed m.

rectly from the car and avoiding the

labor and expense of storage. I fully.

believe in these things, without the





least ill-feeling toward any dealer in

world. It is note questioner the,

, " ' ‘ ' ' . acid phosphate’cheaper by a- dollar and _,

. ' ngmt





handling of feeds because he does a





should buy.





at all in the buying of feeds? If so,

to what extent, and under what cir-‘

cumstances ?” .



Grains are a part of the raw mate-





rial used by dairymen in the manufac-g





ture of dairy products. These products





must be sold in the wholesale market .

in most cases, and this being true, the ,





grain must be ‘bought at the lowest

possible price. Or, to put it in another

way, the grain must be gotten from the

farmer who grew it and offered to

the dairyman who needs it and uses it"

in the manufacture of milk, at the

least cost possible. The time has ar-

rived when we must get our minds off

the shortcomings of individual distrib-

utors, and find better methods of dis-

tribution. _



The higher feeds are in price, the

more important does it become to

avoid storing them in warehouses, be

cause more money is invested, and the

expense of handling is often greater,

owing to the higher labor cost. If we

have a thousand or fifteen hundred

dollars tied up in a car of feed, it will

not do to forget that probably some-





one is either paying or losing the in- yo





terest on that amount, and such pay-

ment or loss runs into money very

fast. The only proper place in which

to store feed after it is shipped to the





 





 





locality where it is to be used, is in

the farmer’s storehouse, on the farm

where it is to be fed.



Another element of expense in thel

handling of feed is the practice of sell-

ing on credit. It' is hard for the aver-

age dealer to do a cash business in the





credit business in the sale of other

commodities.



Much is being said just now about

the unused credit of the farmer, and

relative to a larger use of credit on

his part; and we have no quarrel with

the people who are saying these things.

But- the farmer Will nearly always find

it to his advantage to market his.

credit at the bank, and pay cash for

the things he buys. A friend of mine

who had at one time been heavily in

debt, but who had paid out, and was

a very prosperous farmer, said this to

me: ”Those were hard years, but in

all that time I owed but. one man, and

he was the banker in our town. He

trusted me and I asked no one else to

do so." If a community of dairymen

are intending to buy their feed in car-

lots, prompt payment at the car door

HESE comments are based: on

conditions existing ,on October

15, and indicate any change that

has occurred since-the October 1," re-

port. The next special commercial po-

tato ’report will be issued the first part





’ of November and will contain esti«





mates of the crop that Will grade No.

1, No. 2, and culls.



VMainex—Nd important change has

occurred since the October 1' report.

The weather, except for two :or three

frosts, has continued unusually and





.unfavorably warm. Due to this con-





dition the rot has probably continued

over southern New England, although

the weather in Aroostook county has

perhaps been cool enough to check it

there.



Potatoes are moving rather freely

from Aroostook, and the quail y re-

mains good. '



New Hampshire. —Coos county, with

a light crop, reports no chagge since

October 1.



New York. —During the first two

weeks of October .plospects in the

commercial potato sections of New

York state improved about two per

cent. In the central counties, where





~ considerable rot was reported on the





first of the month, the loss was heav-

ier than was expected, but in most of

the section west of Rochester and E1-

mira and also in part of the region

north of the Adirondacks the tops con-

tinued green until October 7 and the

crop made considerable growth. In

these sections the yields are running

above earlier estimates. On Long Is-

land no change has been reported.





Ohio—«Due to the prolonged season

the late commercial crop had failed to

However,

during the past two weeks beneficial

rains have occurred and reports indi~

cate that the crop has improved from

five to twenty per cent.





Michigan.~——Reports show that the

commercial potato prospect has im-

proved considerably within the ‘last

two weeks. Frequent rains, good grow-

ing weather and the holding off of kill-

ing frosts untilv'October 11, has in-

creased the crop from five to ten per

cent, in all but the southern counties,

in which there is practically no change.

Good quality, and little rot prevails in

all the potato sections of the state.

The estimate for the state is around

seventy per cent for the commercial

potato area, an increase of four points

over the October first estimate.



Wisconsin—The commercial potato

crop for October 15 shows practically

no change in quantity of the crop, but

shows some improvement in prospec-

tive quality. Killing frost last week

occurred over practically the entire

commercial potato area. This will prac~

tically prevent any decrease in the

prospective quantity, but- will probably

increase the [quality of the crop.



Harvesting is in full swing every-

where in the state. In the northern

districts, harvesting was general on

the first of the month, but further

south it was delayed because the po

tatoes were not mature. The crOp is

being marketed as rapidly as the deal-

ers can receive it. At present, car

shortage through the commercial po-

tato districts has reduced the ship-

ments that would have been otherwise

possible.



Minnesota.——Reports from this state

indicate that the late commercial crop

has undergone no important change

since, the October first report, which

showed a. sixty-nine per cent condition

on that date. From present indica-

tions this state will produce a. surplus

crop for shipment, equivalent to 24,500

cars as compared with 26,000- esrs last

year. ’



South Dakota.——No change of conse-

quence hos occurred to the: commer-





 





.Ecial- crop since the last report; ‘As a. ,





 





result of the dry weather during the





growing season there are many small

potatoes. Although this will reduce

the size of the crop, the quality re-

mains good. Surplus productionwill

be confined to only a few sections, no-

ticeably in the northwestern corner of

Deuel county and the region of White

and Bruce in Brookings county.

Pennsylvania.+No change is report--

ed in the commercial crop for this

state. Harvesting .of the crop contin-

ues. Although some, rot. is reported,

the yield will be fully up to the averj

age with prospects of its being better.

North Dakota.—The condition of the

commercial potato crop shows practi-

cally no change since the October 1

report. This report-gave a, condition

figure of fifty-nine per cent as compar-

ed with seventy-six per cent, the ten-

year average. ' '

Nebraska. —Temperatures of ten to

twelve degrees above zero on October

10 are reported to have injured as high

as twenty- -five per cent of the potatoes

in certain fields that were not harvest-

ed. Inasmuch as the large bulk of the

pctatoes were harvested at that ‘time

the total damage may not exceed five

per cent. Harvesting is practically

completed at this time. It appears

that the yield will average better'than

expected and the total shipments will

probably exceed the October 1 esti-

mate of 2,574 cars in spite of the loss

from the freeze of October 10.

Colorado—Latest reports show a

slight decline in the commercial crop





of the Gréekéy <11an since the Octo-

her first report. Shortage. of rain at





Flaming. time, and a ,decreése of acre ’





3&9 planted, will considerably reduce

the surplus production of this district.

The San Luis Valley, which has the

best crop in the state, has shown a

small drop since the last; report. Not-

withstanding this fact, this section is

groWing one of its best crops and will

exceed its nearest competitor, the

Greeley section, by almost 2,000 cars.

Although indications now point to a

slight drop in the commercial crop for





.the state, the revised estimate is now





placed at 10,000 carloads.





Idaho—The frost has done very lit-

tle damage: and on the whole the com-

mercial crop has shown an improve-

ment ever the October 1 report. It is

now estimated that ninety per cent of

the crop is harvested. Because of an

acute shortage of cars a large number

of farmers are unable to market their

crops.



Shipments from Burlqr and the sur-

rounding sections will equal those of

last year, while Twin Falls and Idaho

Falls and the adjacent territory will

ship possibly seventy-five per cent of

last year’s crop.





Oregon—No material change in the

condition of the commercial crop has

taken place since the October 1 report.

A considerable portion of the crop has

not as yet fully matured and the qual-

ity of the potatoes now offered is not

up to standard.

vital to the common good. The high-

retically, democratic government does

this for all its people. In practice,

however, certain members through in-

tensive organizations acquire and ex—

ercise undue influence, destroying

thereby the harmony which should ex-

ist between all the essential elements.





The situation which has

about this conference is due to lack of

proper recognition of this basic duty

of government.



Agriculture comes into this Indus-

trial Conference seeking to give prac-

tical expression to this idea. The rep-

resentatives of agriculture believe that

capital, labor and agriculture are the

three principal members of the indus-

trial body and must have equal rights

and equal treatment.





Farmers aware of the disparity

which has arisen are earnestly endeav-

secure for agriculture its proper field

SAN JOSE SCALE STILL wFr1-1 us.





 





HE absence of San Jose scale from



the orchards during the last two

years has been generally quite notice-

able, but although it‘ was seldom seen

in 1918 owing to the work of insect

parasites and the unfavorable weather

conditions during 1917 and 1918, it was

not entirely-extermmated and owing

to its ability to rapidly reproduce it

was quite prevalent in some orchards

in 1919, in fact we have seen trees

whose branches were completely en-

crusted with living scales.



Michigan orchardists should take

early and effectual precautions that

this insect does not. again become gen-

erally distributed. The remedies are

known and there should be no delay

in applying them. Orchards in which

the presence of the scale was noted in

1919 should be Sprayed, either with

lime-sulphur solution one to eight, or





“Scalecide.” If dry lime-sulphur is ob- I





tained for use against the San Jose

scale, twenty-five pounds should be ad-

ded to fifty gallons of water; even

then the amount of soluble sulphur

will be less than with lime-sulphur so-

lution testing thirty two Baume, dilut-

ed at the rate of one to eight parts of

water.





’ While we prefer rather late spring

applications for the San. Jose scale

when the trees are but slightly infest-

ed, it is very important that the scale

be exterminsted at “this time, and be-

fore it is given oppOrtunity to again

become as plentiful as in former days.

DIVISION OF ESTATE.





My mother does not want to make

a will; if she dies without making a

will, can the real and personal prop-

erty-be divided before all the children

are of age?—D. B.



The estates of persons dying with-

out making a. will are divided as soon

as the estate can be probated and all

debts paid; at which time the shares

of any under age are turned over to

the custody of their guardians and the

shares of those‘of age are turned over

to them. In the ease of real property

which descends in undivided shares

any person having an undivided inter-





est in it is entitled to partition by or-





der of court as soon as the estate is

closed.

CLAIM AGAINST RAILROAD.





I had two head of cattle killed on

the railroad last spring. They got

through the railroad fence. The com-

pany appraised them at $150. It seems

as though they had ample time to set-

tle. Any information will be greatly

appreciated—D. B. "



My experience with claims against

railroad companies, which has been

considerable, is that it is time wasted

to dicker with the claim departments.

Their excuse for existence seems to be

to tire claimants out and settle for as

little as possible. This is certainly a

class of cases in which a lawyer’s ser-

vices are well worth the cost.

RU N-AWAY BOY.





My boy, eighteen years old, left

home Without cause after I had bought

an automobile to keep him on the

farm. He is now working in a factory

in the city. Can I claim any of his

wages to pay for the car?——P. L.



The wages of minors belong to the

father, and he can demand the pay-

ment of the wages to him unless he

has manumited the son, that is to say,

unless he has renounced his claim to

custody of his son and his earnings.

LETTING SHEEP OUT ON SHARES.





Please publish the present rules for

letting sheep on shares or out to dou-

ble





St. Clair Co. B. G. B.

There are no standard rules with re-

gard to letting sheep on shares. It is

more of a private agreement between

parties. I have known where sheep

were let out to double in three years

and this makes thirty-three and one

third per cent interest, and I have

known where they let sheep out for

four years, which makes twenty-five

per cent interest. Sometimes they will

let out for one-half the increase, the

man who owns the sheep can well af-

ford to let out on any of these plans

because he is getting big interest. The

man who takes the sheep on any

agreement could better afford to bor-

row the money and buy the sheep.

LIME ousmss.





When is the best time to put lime

on the soil? Is it a good time now?





,What kind of lime would you advise, if





you have any preference? Which is

the best way to spread the lime? Are-

there devices for doing this? What

would lime by the ton or earload come

to, delivered here?



Jackson 00. 0. S. L.





Lime may be applied any time-dur-





ing the year when the ground is in





condition to receive it. Lime is not

spread and plowed under: like manure.

but it is always sown on top of‘plowed





ground and worked into the surfacel

soilbymeansofharrovs. Limeis

used to correct a sour or acid condi-

tion; and, on account of leaching and:

loss by cropping, the surface layers of ,

soil first lose their natural lime and

become sour. In case a field which:

produced a cultivated crop this year is;

to be limed with the intention of pro;

paring it for alfalfa, the lime ought to;

be-sown and worked into the soil this

fall. The alfalfa seed. may be sown

early next spring with a spring grain

crop, if desirable, or alone any time

until mid-summer. Such a field would?

not need to be plowed but can be put.

in good condition by. harrowing alone.

On account of the slowness of the no

tion between pulverized limestone and

the soil acids, it is better to apply the

lime several months ahead of the seedv

ing. If the lime cannot be secured for ‘

use this fall, it may be put on as'eal'ly

as possible next spring, and the seed-

ing delayed.



Because of the caustic action a!

burnt limes on the soil, it produces a

rapid neutralization of soil acids, it is

true, but, at the same time, it causes

undue decomposition and loss of hu-

mus, and on account of the greater

expense, the majority of farmers who





need lime are using marl, waste lime ,





from beet sugar factories, or pulveriz-

ed limestone. These are slower in ac-

tion, but they are cheaper and cause-

no undesirable results.





Lime is sometimes spread by hand

or with a manure spreader, but the

best way is by means of a regular lime

spreader, of which there are several

kinds on the market. Consult the ad-

vertising columns of any farm paper,

or talk with your nearest implement

dealer. These Spreaders may be set

to sow from three or four hundred

pounds up to two tons per acre. The

largest amount is generally none too

much for the average soil. Some very

sour soils may require much more than ’

two tons for the best results.



The delivered price of lime in Jack-‘

son county will depend on the kind of

lime secured and shipping distance. I

am of the opinion that you can get a

good quality of lime delivered in bulk

in carlots for $3.00 or less per ton. A

carload will vary from twenty—five to

fifty tons. H. L. B.





LETTING SHEEP ON SHARES.





My son has eight sheep to let out

parties?

Kalamazoo Co. F. H. M.





It is quite a common practice to let

sheep to double in four years. There

is not so much of this business done

now as formerly. Sometimes sheep

are let to double in three years. An-

other practice is to let out sheep for

one-half the increase and one-half the

wool annually. The kind of a man you

let the sheep to is of more importance

’ EVE-lo [vi rather Women};

, make a .calfdo’well when it was -

bow in thewfallthFor’ one thing it is

colder usually'than'it'is in spring, and

this condition keeps on growing more

So as waget into winter. The reason

for this slower growth in cool or cold

weather is that calves, like all young

creatures, need to be kept warm. The

'baby is justp'the same Way. /Keep it

vwa'rm and it thrives better. Warmth

‘aids growth in the calf.



For that reason I try to have a warm

‘and comfortable place for thecalfthat

'comes in the fall and is to be raised.

A- few days after the calf is born I like

’to take it away from the mother cow,

and if I could I would put it so far

away from the stable where cows are

kept that the cow could not hear it

when it bawls. Nothing is worse for

a'oow than to be within hearing of the '

calls of her calf. But not always is it

possible to remove the calf so far. The

next best thing is to care for the calf

so well that it will not bleat much and

the cries it does make, if well fed, are

not as apt to trouble the mother.





Then, too, .a dry place is necessary

to comfort, ~ and comfort is the one

thing a calf ought to-have to do well.

The straw given the calf should be

changed every day. The calf soon wets

up- a good deal of straw if it is placed

where it can. Straw that has been

'used this way may be placed in the

drop back of the COWS and go out with

the manure. It is good for little else.

By shaking out the straw that has been

under the calf and drying it we .can

save some of it for another time. Straw

is so valuable in these days that we

must waste as little as possible.



One thing more. we need to do for,

the fall calf, andthat is to furnish it

as much green feed as we can. Grass

cut from the after-feed may be used

as long as the frost stays off. After

that we have found it best to go to

feeding hay. A nice lock of well-cured

hay, clover or timothy, is one of the

best things for a calf. Not only does

to tend to make the calf grow, but it

has a good effect in preventing bowel

troubles. The juice from the hay is a

good tonic. . _



. To go with the hay, we need sOme

grain. Especially if timothy hay is fed

there should be some kind of a laxa-

tive grain givenx I like wheat bran or

mixed feed as well as anything I ever

tried. The bran makes muscle and at

the same time keeps the bowels reg-

ular. '



It is not time wasted to brush off the

calf regularly every day. It always

seemed to me a well-groomed calf

would grow faster than one that was

rough and dust-covered all the time.

It might not be thought that a calf’s

hide would get very much clogged

with dust and seeds, but if you have

not groomed your calf for a week or

two, just part the hair and look close-

'ly, and you will see that the pores of

the skin are badly clogged. and when

that happens the calf cannot grow as

fast nor assimilate its food as it other.

wise would. A clean skin saves feed,

for the calf uses to better advantage

what is given it.



All the time we try to remember





 





that we are dealing with a cow of to- -





morrow. E. L. VINCENT. ‘

When writing to advertisers ,

please mention. the Mickie-fl
HE average farmer considers



poultry raising a sort. of “side



issue.” A job for the women and

children, And‘yet, with a little .care

and planning the poultry on the farm,.

especime with the prospect in view

for the highest prices for eggs in his-

tory, during the coming Winter, will

pay as well if not better than some of

the other branches of the farm.



Records of eighteen flocks of poul-

try in Ohio, showed an average profit

of $87 per hundred hens. One hundred

hens and a good dairy cow are about

of equal value and Iowa records show

that the average dairy cow makes a

profit of only $33. This being the case.

let us pay a little more attention to

the farm flock this fall and give the

biddies a chance to make good during

the coming months.



The Hen House.



First of all we must look to the

hens’ comfort, and give them a home,

not merely a shelter. Remember, the

“singing hen is the laying hen,” and

its the comfortable, contented hen that

sings.



Warmth, light, air, cleanliness and

convenience are all to be considered in

arranging a home for the» flock, the

house need not be expensive in order

to contain these features. "



The location should be a high, well

drained area, with a southern or south-

eastern exposure. Various types of

houses may be used just so that it is

clean, dry, well lighted and well venti-

lated, but not drafty. It should be so

constructed that it can be made per





 





A Convenient Nest.





fectly tight, except part of the south

side, which should always be left open

to admit fresh air.



The size of the house should be de-

termined by the number of hens to be

housed through the winter, allowing

two and a half to three square feet of

floor surface for each hen. Overcrowd-

.ing not only causes serious discomfort

and discontent, but greatly reduces

the profits from the Winter egg produc‘

tion, and contributes to disease, weak-

ness, featherpulling, eggeating, and

similar troubles and habits.

and a scratching shed in the center,

open partitions admit ventilation,

while windows in the south admit the

light. Fit the house with comfortable

nests and with roosts at least two inch-

es wide. Whitewash. assists in elimi-

nating vermin of all sorts and makes

the house much lighter. A satisfactory

formula is as follows:



One peck of lime, unslaked; two

pounds of common coarse salt; one

gallon of crude carbolic acid or some

equally strong disinfectant; dilute to

forty gallons with water, or make thin

tween the pelvic bones and well devel-

oped ‘red combs. The following score

card has been used at the University

of Missouri and indicates the condi-

tion in which two hens were found in

October of last year. By giving each

of these points due consideration one

can arrive at some conclusion as to

the relative production of the birds of

brush or spray pump.



A litter of about six inches deep of

fresh clean straw should be kept on

the floor during the winter months.

and a dust box filled with sand and

ashes gives the hens a chance to wal-

low and fight the lice. .



Culling the Flock.



With ‘feedstuffs at the highest pric-

es ever known, it is necessary for us

to know whether a hen is laying,

whether she is likely to start laying

within a reasonable time or whether

as an egg producer she has “missed

her calling” and makes for her owner

an unprofitable boarder. The slacker

hens should be culled out and market-

ed early and with them the roosters,

for it has been onstrated by the

laying contests that unmated hens will

lay a greater number of eggs than

those mated. The following rules will

be of assistance in selecting the birds

to be retained for the wmter.



Good layers moult quickly and late,

during October or November. The

plumage at this time will be rough,





Feeding for Eggs.



Feeds have to be selected somewhat

to meet local and individual condi-

tions. A good scratch feed is compos-

ed of two—thirds corn and one-third

barley 'or clipped oats, about, two

quarts per day scattered over the lit-

ter, will feed fifteen hens. This, with

a mash composed of two parts of corn

meal, one part wheat bran, one part

wheat shorts and one part of beef

scraps or tankage, will complete a

well-balanced ration. The mash should

be kept in the hopper before the hens

at all times.



Table scraps will greatly cut down

the feeding cost and also decrease the

amount of mash needed. Boil the pee1~

ings' of vegetables, chop them fine

with a meat chopper, add small pieces

of stale bread and any clean scraps,

then mix this with bran. Sour milk

or buttermilk added will make this a

most desirable and well—balanced ra-

tion, or if not available, beef scrap or

tankage can be substituted to furnish

the animal food.



A careful test in feeding sour milk





« used in the experiment.





ancc





was made recently at the Missouri Ex-

periment Station. Three pens were





alike except that on pen received sour

milk, another beef scrap and the third

no animal food whatever. From the

pen. fed on sour milk 3,275 eggs were

received during the year at a profit of

$28.76; from the pen fed on beef scrap

2,668 eggs were received, at a profit of

$19.78, and from the non-meat pen,

1,373 eggs, at a loss of one dollar for

the year. This experiment makes it

clear that our layers must have a cer-

tain amount of animal food if they are

to return a fair profit for their food,

and sour milk is one of the best and

cheapest foods of this nature that we

can get.



Green feed is desirable, if not a nec-

essity, and can be supplied during the

winter by sprouting trays of oats in

the cellar.



Oyster shell, charcoal and grit

should be kept before the hens at all

times. The oyster shell supplies the

lime for the egg shell and the charcoal

aids in digestion, while the grit assists

in grinding the food. .



And do not neglect the water foun-

tain. Experiments have proved that

when water is kept from the hens for

any length of time, there is a marked

reduction in the egg yield. Always

have plenty of fresh clean water be—

fore them. Remember, most of the

egg is composed of water, hence the

wise poultryman should, during the

winter, fill the fountains frequently

with warm water to encourage the

hens to drink more.





 





 





 





 





 





 





Keep the Food and Water Clean.





Handle and market your eggs bet-

ter. Keep the nests clean, gather the

“eggs daily, keep them in a cool place

and market as often as possible—at

least once a week-better yet, twice a

week. Market the kind of eggs you

would want to buy if you were-a con-

sumor.



If you have a pure-bred flock—good.

If not, make the best of the flock you

have, then'later you may want to get

better stock. There is a pleasure and

satisfaction in knowing that you have

the best and that this branch of your

farming, even though it may be a “side

issue,” is yielding you its greatest

profit.—L. W. S. ‘-





Hints on the Farmer’s Advertising





F ARMERS are awakening to the

need of better markting methods,

and have begun to recognize the value

of judicious advertising in marketing

farm products. Much advertising is

done without results in proportion to

the cost in many cases, not only by

farmers but by all classes of advertis-

'ers, and so complex is the advertising

game that advertising experts are in

demand and make their employers

good money if, the business is a large

' one that justifies the" outlay. Most

terms would not justify this, but they

will Justify a careful plan of: advertis-

in: worked out by the farmer. Too

. often advertising is looked upon as the



-madiagofamtle inkonpoperor

' err-paint on a board that anyone





 





 

 





who takes the time to examine it may

know what it is there for. Advertis-

ing is a whole lot more than that. Its

purpose is not only to carry a message

but to attract attention to that mes-

sage, and to give confidence in the one

that sends the message and the thing

the message refers to. If it does less

than all this it falls short of its duty.



First we want to attract the notice

of all who want the article or would





be at all interested in it, so some-_





thing in the advertisement must give

this information so plainly that it can-

not be overloOked, Then one or more

enticing qualities should benemphasiz-

ed so briefly that a glance will convey





them to the. mind otthereader.'1‘hll_

has any desire for the article and then

the selling argument will be read, but

it should be definite and positive. Gen.-

eral rambling praise of an article will

not have any selling value but positive

statements of definite qualities will.

Plain conservative advertising with

a dignity and reserve about it will car-

ry conviction of the reliability of the

advertiser and his goods to' far better

advantage than exaggerated descrip-

tions and bare statements of the sell-

er's honor and honesty, or even an at-

tempt to prove these things by testi—

monials from people equally- as un-

known as the advertiser. Poople look

upon the ordinary testimonial as worth

less than the ink it,took to. print it—

they’re atooi'easy to 343th can“! too





 





little of the giver’s true opinion with





them in too many cases.



The selection of an advertising me-

dium should be made in accordance

with the kind of article to be sold.

Something that a local demand will be

likely to be. enough to take the lot

should be advertised in the local paper

but a good lot of seed corn, 3. pure-bred

animal, eggs from a large pure-bred

flock of hens, or other things that the

local demand would not be likely, to

take any amount of, we should adver-

tise in the morewidely circulated farm

papers Or city dailies, and- for farm

products the farm papers have every

advantage. The ngen who quotes prie-

the beat varieties of plum, pear and





apple to set out?

Oakland Co. H. W. B.





Among the mere desirable European

plums are the Bradshaw, Gueii, Grand





~Duke, Lombard, Monarch, Reine Claude ~





and Shipper’s Pride. The Abundance,





'Burbank, Climax, Red 'June and Wick— ,





son“ are popular Japanese plums.



. The summer pears usually planted

are Bartlett and Clapps Favorite. The

autumn varieties are Duchess d- Angou-

leme, Lawrence, Kiefler, Seckel and

Sheldon. Both the Lawrence and the

Keiffer are considered winter as well

as fall varieties.



Among the. good summer apples are

Early Harvest, Red Astrachan and

Yellow Transparent. Satisfactory au-

tumn varieties are Chenango Straw-

berry, Duchess of Oldenburg, Fameuse

or Snow Apple, Maiden’s Blush. The

large part of the planting will doubt-

less be winter apples as they keep the

best and are valuable for home use or

market for a long' period. Fine winter

apples are the Baldwin, Grime’s Gol-

den, Jonathan, King, McIntosh Red,

Northwestern Greening, Northern Spy,

Rhode Island Greening, Wealthy, Wag-

emer and Winter Banana.



The inquiry does not state whether

a commercial or a home orchard is to

be planted. In the small home. or-

chard the ,farmer can select one or two

good varieties for the major portion of

the planting and then use others which

will give a. variety of fruit for all sea-

SOns. In the commercial orchard

enough of one or two good varieties

should be planted so that buyers can

be induced to consider the ‘crop. In

Michigan the buyers seem to like the

Northern Spy, Baldwin and Greening,

and these varieties succeed very well

in this locality.——K.





 





CEMENT OR Woon HOUSE.





 





I would like to build a poultry house

next spring, and would like to know

whether a. semi-monitor-style house

made of cement, with a two and a half

inch dead air space from bottom to

top will be perfectly dry. Lumber is

so high that I would like to find a.

cheaper material if it is as good.



Oakland Co. H. W. B.



The writer would prefer the house

built of lumber, even at the present

price of building material. The cheap-





est and best house for the money, in





on a cement foundation with a cement

floor. The siding and root can be of

unmatched lumber although matched

lumber would be the best. ‘It can be

covered with heavy roofing paper on

all sides to keep out draughts. If black

roofing paper is used it can be held on

with wooden strips painted green.

This gives the house an attractive ap-

pearance. If red roofing paper is used

white strips are attractive.



The writer bases his opinion of a

cement semi-monitor house from expe~

rience and observation on poultry

farms of various kinds. Breeders of

long experience seem to prefer the!

houses built of lumber.

conditions it is not possible to build a

very cheap poultry house, and yet it

seems as if building materials have

reached a new price level and will not

work downward very rapidly in the

near future. If a new poultry house is

.needed it seems good business to build

it. The poultrymah who keeps ac-

. counts accurately can study his build-

. mg costs and egg receipts in 1914 and

compare it with lumber costs and egg

Sometimes a tire will give a fair

deteriorates rapidly when the car is

standing idle.





This may have been your experience.

And you are not the only one to feel

the loss—rubber deterioration is cost-

ing car owners millions annually.



This is particularly true of cars

owned on farms where, of necessity,

they stand idle for long periods at a

of peach trees could be controlled by

spraying while the trees were‘ dormant

and it was practiced by thousands of

peach. growers in Michigan, but there

have been many failures due to spray-

ing too late in the spring. This was

especially true in the spring of 1919,

owing to the early swelling of the

buds, but in other seasons the work

has been hindered by stormy weather,

a soft condition of the soil, delays in

‘ fitting out the spray rigs, press of oth-

er work, etc.

Leaf-curl is due to a parasitic fun-

gus, which attacks the leaves while

still in bud, and is especially trouble-

some in cold wet springs. To be ef-

fectual the spraying should be done at

least three weeks before the buds op-

en. While, as a rule, applications may

be made up to the middle of April, in

some years the spraying must be done

before the end of March

The writer demonstrated more than

twenty years ago that good results

could be obtained from applications

made in the fall, the only difficulty be-

ing in reaching the buds, owing to the

leaves being on the trees. When most

of the leaves have fallen the spraying

can be done in the fall with good re-

sults. Whether made in the spring or

fall, the success will depend largely

upon the thoroughness of the applica-

tion. To obtain results the buds must

be thoroughly soaked with the spray-

ing material, and if any of the buds

are not soaked the leaves from these

buds will curl, if weather conditions

favor the disease.

The usual spray for the San Jose

scale (lime-sulphur solution, one to

eight) will give good results in con-





development of the Department of

Home Ecdnomics.





President Snyder provided for dormi-

tory accommodationsand. started the

course which now is the‘second larg-

est in the institution. The attendance

of young ladies] at M. A. C. has grown

even out of proportion to the other

courses so that only one week ago the

State Board of Agriculture saw the

necessity for granting additional funds

for the running of the department for

girls.



Altogether the efforts .of Dr. Sny-

der were rewarded by the growth of

M. A. C from a school withlour hun-

dred enrolled in 1896, and fifty—seven

graduates, to an institution with two

thousand enrolled in 1915 and a grad-

uating class of two hundred and. thirty-

two. >



The appreciation of the man has

been evinced by the hundreds of notes

of condolence received by his relatives

from sympathizers all over Michigan,

and in future days his headstone in

Mount Hope cemetery near Lansing

can be designated as the material re-

membrance of one of Michigan’s great-

est agricultural educators.

not be added. The clear solution at

this strength will fully equal 4-4-50

Bordeaux. In making applications in

‘the fall, or very early in the spring,

care should be taken not to spray on

Owing to the fact that even with the

Fourth, we come to the “tug of war.”

The busy housewife wishes to keep

about so many pallets for the year.

She dislikes to kill or market a pallet.

This temptation is great with her. 0f-

ten she reasons this way: “I want

about so many pullets next spring.

They are young; they will grow, and

it will not cost much to keep them, for

I will let them pick their living.”



Remember, dear reader, this is all

wrong. A pullet should be fed heavily

in order properly to develop a consti-

tution that will coinbat the drain upon

her heavy egg production. It costs

too much to keep over a poor lot or

undeveloped or constitutionally weak

pullets.



Pulle‘ts that are to be good layers

should show signs now or maturity and





should be about ready to conimenh "

SHEEP PELTS, ON AND OFF.

S 0 far as I am concerned I will take

. mine on. Nothing makes me feel

.worse than to go out and find one of

my sheep dead in the yardor pasture.

I consider it in part, at least, a reflec-

tion on me, for if I had done my duty

by the sheep she would still be up and

coming. '

5 There are however, _many who do

not seem to take such losses very

seriously. We are told every winter

of great losses on the ranches and oth-

er western pastures, by reason of ex-

posure to‘ cold and the animals that

kill sheep in cold weather when other

. forms of food are scarce and hard to

' get. I do not know that there is any

i way to get at the approximate losses

' from these, two sources in any one

winter. I- suppose it depends more or

less on the severity of the season, but

the very lowest estimates prove that

the farmers of this country lose liter-

ally hundreds of thousands of dollars

through the death of sheep in the cold

and storms of any given winter. What

do not die are often seriously set back

by exposure.



It is good business to take care of

sheep so that these losses may be in

great part at least, wiped out. We

cannot afford to stand such losses ev-

ery year. Some sheep men do this by

puttingvup cheap, sheds covered with

wild grass in the place of shingles, and

into these they gather their sheep for

shelter in inclement weather and for

supplemental feeding. - From two to

three thOusand sheep can be sheltered



‘ and fed in a shed a hundred and fifty

feet square, although some cramp that

number down to one hundred feet

square. It does not seem as if they

would do as well, however, as if they

had more room.



For the man who keeps a’small flock

a shed may already be attached to the



‘ barn for providing shelter. If’none al-

ready exists, one may be built at com-

paratively small expense' that will be

perfectly adequate. I have sheltered

twenty-five sheep in a shed. sixteen

feet by thirty feet in size. This gives

room, too, for the feeding racks.





5 But bad as cold is, wet ground is

fully as dangerous to the health of the

sheep. Sheep .are not an animal for

damp ground. It is death to them. For

this reason the sheep ham or shed



_ ought to be built on dry ground. Some

sites may be drained by ditches so

that the land will be dry. Wherever

it seems advisable to pasture or yard

sheep on ground that is naturally wet,

drains may be put in yet this fall. All

sorts of diseases may follow wet feet.





Then, too, scab does a great deal of



_ damage to our flocks when it once gets

J . a hold in them. We cannot be too

5 4 . careful when buying sheep or other-

r‘ ' wise acquiring them, to see to it that

they are free from this~ terrible dis--



ease. No scabby sheep ever should be



brought on the farm. for it is apt to



spread and infect the entire flock. It



. spoils the sheep that is affected by it

5 and the wool becomes “tagged” or

i glued together. Even, to come in con-

tact with one of these tags from in-

.tected sheep is apt to convey the dist

ease to well sheep. The disease may

also-”be transmitted by healthy sheep

looks of her clothes. Make her as

comfortable as you can,” he said to

the head nurse.



Little Minnie was carried out into

the ward, and put into one of the

white cots, just a speck of humanity in

the rows on rows of white beds. Some-

thing hurt awfully—oh, it was in her

back, oh, she couldn’t stand it. The

doctor had left a knife sticking in her

back, so he had. The nurse took hold

of the thin arm that waved and jerked

with the pain, and pricked it. And that

hurt too. Minnie fell asleep.



When she awoke, an angel was bend-

ing over her. And such an angel! She

wore such a beautiful dress and such

a pearl necklace! And she had such

a soft, sweet voice. “Poor little dear,”

she was saying, “You look tired. But





you will be all'right pretty soon, won’t

you? And you are going to stay here

and do everthing the nurse. says, aren’t

you? Here is a flower I brought for

you, and your’s to keep.” She put a

big white blossom in Minnie’s hand.

Minnie heard her go to the next cot

and say‘ something to the.little girl

there, and then to the next till she dis-

appeared down the long line of white

beds.



Minnie looked at her flower. She

had never seen one like that before,

except in store windows. Once the

mission down near Market street had

taken the children out to the park for

an (afternoon, and they had picked

dandelio’ns. But that was a long time

ago. And once, a crate of flowers had

broken open in front of a commission

house, and a‘man came out and swore,





r





and swept the broken. ones into the





gutter. Minnie had picked one of the

flowers up. and taken it home to her

mother. But this flower washers, and





' the angel said she could keep it.





Minnie wondered if angels were al-

ways dressed like this one was, and if

they always carried such big bunches

of flowers. She didn’t know that an-

gels came into hospitals.

they stayed up in heaven, where the

Sunday school teacher said, and play-

ed harps and things like that.



When the night nurses came on duty

one said, “Well, I see our good friend

Mrs. Van Sully has been here today

with asters for everybody. _What do

you suppose those asters cost her, ev-

ery week? Isn’t she a wonderful wom-

an? She always speaks to each pa-

tient and she never seems to say the

same thing twice.” “If all themillion-

aires and millionairesses were like

her,” said another nurse, “I shouldn’t

begrudge them the money.



That night a little girl in charity

ward II had rather a hard time of it.

She cried out that somebOdy was run-





ning over her, and kept saying, “there





it comes, there it comes.” The nurse

kept cold cloths on her head.



“I guess there won't be more than

a couple of shipments more,” said the

Aster Man, as he finished fixing a crate

of his flowers. “Had one light frost

a’ready. That fixes ’em. Butit’s been

a good year, and I’ve never seen the

blossoms better. , There’s a good

bunch, right there. Say, wouldn’t it

be interestin’ to follow them flowers

and see where they go to? Hurry up,

Harry, with your buzz wagon. Less’n

an hour to ketch the one o'clock train.”





Vacation Down on the Farm 4

By Lemuel L. DeBra





EAR Editorz—Do you recollect



when you were a little tike down



on the farm you used to cross

the hog-lot once in awhile on your way

to the apple oréhard, and there was

an old hog in the bunch whose back

was a broad as your mother’s~—er—

kitchen table, and whose bristles were

as black and stiff as Uncle George’s on

Saturday night; and, just for fun, you

would pick up a nice, healthy cob and

rub the old rascal’s back (I mean the

hog’s; not your Uncle George‘s) and

he’d grunt “Oingh! Oingh!” and pretty

soon he’ die down and stretch out as

luxuriously as them harem girls you

see in the movies, and go to sleep in

the sunshine—and you’d walk away

wishing you were a hog or something,

eh?\



"Well, that’s the way I feel this

morning. ’Cause why? ’Cause the wife

and kid are away on a vacation and

I’m lord and master of all I survey.

Only I ain’t surveyed much yet.



When I got up that first morning at

six 8.. m. there wasn’t a sign of break-

fast. Art nine o’clock it was the same.

Some time between six and nine I ate

breakfast. I don’t know just when. It

was what you might call a serial af—

fair. Also it came near being a seri—

ous one. Opened up rather tame in

the first chapter but wound up like a

dime novel. “'



’ I said to myself: “If I can find some

ham, I’ll have some ham and eggs—

if I can find some eggs.”



The wife never gives me both at the

same time.



I found the skillet, put it on the fire,





threw in the ham, and Opened all the





windows. L‘ Then I went out to hunt

the eggs. .



I guess our hens are union hens and

don’t work before eight o’clock. Fin-

ally I found an old brown biddy, gent-

ly pried her off the nest and extracted

—one door-knob, two pieces of coal,

and one perfectly good China egg.



And when I got back to the kitchen

I didn’t have any ham left, either.



That was a week ago. Since then

I’ve learned a lot about the gentle art

of culination. For instance, my wife

has often wondered how they fix them

“dropped eggs” we read about. Shucks,

that’s easy. I’ve dropped three al--

ready—behind the stove.



And she used to worry about get-

ting the ants out of the sugar. Now a

woman ain’t got no inventiveness at

all. If it was the woman who had to

invent excuses fer being out late, what

a fix she’d be in, eh? Now the ants

got in my sack of sugar and here’s the

way I fixed them. I dumped the sugar

in a bucket of water. The ant’s floated

to the top and I skimmed them off.



Of course, I had to buy more sugar,

but what’s a little thing like that? I

got the ants, didn’t I?



My wife can never find the dustpan.

Neither could I. Did I worry. No. I

paused and meditated. Then I swept

the. whole clutter under the bed where

it can’t be seen. In a week or so I’ll

take it all up at once. A woman never

would have thought of that.



Well, after breakfast this morning I

fussed around the yard 3. bit, fed the





 





ducks because they made so blamed

much noise I had to do something

about it, drove the bees away from my

wife’s flowers, and then with my pipe

I sat down in the shade to meditate.

And the trend of my meditation was

this: . '



Why does a man marry, and what

does he want with a wife, anyway?

There’s not a thing in any line of en-

deavor that a man can’t do better than

a woman. The best cooks are men.

Give me plenty of time—and plenty 'of

ham—and I .can rustle up a breakfast

as well as any woman. The best writ-

ers are men—fiction comes natural to

them. Who invented war? Why men,

of course. Who invented allthese won-

derful labor-saving devices for the

home, like carpet-sweepers and barrel

churns? Men! And who uses them?

Well, I don’t know how it is in your

home, but in mine, my wife makes me

use them. Why? ~Because men excel

in every line of endeavor! good or bad

——especially bad. The greatest ,c'rimi-

nals in history were men. Why cer-

tainly. Didn't file teacher tell my

boy— ,. ,



My boy! Say, you haven’t seen my

boy, have you? Man, he’s the finest

blue-eyed ,scamp that ever stole wa-

termelons. He’ll be eight this corn-

huskin’. Don't seem no time since he

was a baby; and herwas a geod'baby

-—the best baby that ever kept a

clothesline full. He’s with his mother

now, and yesterday I got a letter he

wrote. - He printed it big—so his old





daddy could read it, I suppose. And

he wrote: “I love you daddy and we

are so lonesome without you,” and,

doggoneit, my glasses got foggy, and

a lump came in my throat as big as a

turnip. The little rascal! Why, he

can break more-window panes in one

shot than any boy that ever put his

feet under his mother’s table.



And his mother! God bless her——

there’s a woman! After ten years 0’

putting up with a good-for-nothing

scoundrel like me, she’s the same, on-

ly better. Yep, bigger and betterwes-

pecially bigger. I love her more now

than ever—there’s about sixty-seven

pounds more to lovev—but I don’t let

her sit on my lap any more ’cause our

furniture is a bit old and rickety. Her

dear eyes are just as pretty as ever

only sometimes 'I see a tired look in

them, and her smile is just as sweet

and sunny. And one evening when we

were sitting on the porch looking down

over the meadow and I was holding

her hands she said: “John, dear, my

hands are not as soft as when we were

married; but, thank God, you are!”



No, indeed, after ten years we

haven’t changed except that I used to

hold her in my arms and now she

holds mewsh’e’s grown beyond my

reach. And she’s got a hold on me

that a whole flock of mules couldn’t

break—she with her sweet lips and





loving ways, and that boy 0’ mine





with his mother’s eyes and his daddy’s

deviltry. ' - ‘





I wish to heck they’d come home—p





’cause I'm lonesome as ‘a lost lamb.

Hoping you are the same.

- . Yours truly. JOHN.

“He’s not such a kid but what he

can do murder,” Dutch spat out.



Kate read him the riot act so sharp-

1y that the little puncher had not an-

Iother word to say. 'The tideof opin-

ion was shifting. Those who had been

werked up to the lynching by the ar-

guments of Bonflls began to resent his

The girl turned to her friends and

neighbors. “I oughtn‘t to have talked

worried I am‘ about Dad,” she apolo-

gized with a. catch in her breath. “I’m

sure you didn’t think or you would

never have done anything to trouble

to another, her eyes shiny with tears.

Some said “Sure,” others told her to

reminded him of happier days.

after a. sterm.



“I’m so glad you’ve changed your

thought it over,” she told them chat-

tily and confidentially.



She was taking their assent for

granted. Now she waited and gave

them a chance to chorus their agree-

None of them spoke except

Maloney. Most of them were with her

in sympathy but none wanted to be

first in giving way. Each wanted to

save his face, so that the others could

not later blamehim for quitting first.

“Haven’t you a. mind of your ‘own,

arm was paining a good deal and he

felt feverish. The men of the Circle

C and their guests sat down. and argu-

ed the whole thing over. But after a

time the doctor came in and had the

patient carried to the house. He was

put in a good clean bed and his arm

dressed again.



The doctor brought him good news

“Cullison is doing fine. He has drop-

ped into a deep sleep. He’d ought to

make it all right.”



Curly thought about the girl who

had fought for his life.



“You’ll not let him die, Doc,” he

begged.



“He’s ‘too tough for that, Luck Culs

lison is.” '



Presently Doctor Brown gave him a

sleeping powder and left him. Soon

after that Curly fell asleep and dream-

ed about a slim dark girl with fine

longlashed eyes that could be both

tender and ferocious. "

A memory smote him and instantly





be was grave again.





’ “How is 'Cullison?"



“Good as the wheat, doc says.

Mighty lucky for Mr. C. Flandrau that

he is. Say, I’m to be yore valley and

help you into them clothes. Git a wig-

gle on you.”



Buck escorted his prisoner over to

the ranch mess house. The others had

finished breakfast bpt Maloney was

still eating. His mouth was full of hot

cakes, but he nodded across at Curly

in a casual friendly way.



“How’s the villain in the play this

mo’ning?” he inquired. ‘



Twenty-one usually looks on the

cheerful side of life. Curly had for-

gotten for the moment about what had»

happened to his friend Mac. He did

not remember that he was in the shad-

ow of a penitentiary sentence. The

sun was shining out of a deep blue

sky. The vigor of youth flowed through

his veins. He Was hungry and a good

breakfast was before him. For the

present these were enough.



“Me, I’m feeling a heap better than

I was last night,” he admitted. -



“Came pretty near losing him out of

the cast, didn’t we?”



“Might a—turned out that way if the

stage manager had not remembered

the right cue in' time.”



Curly was looking straight into the

eyes twinkling across the table at him.

Maloney knew that the young fellow

was thanking him for having saved his

life. 'He noddedlightly, but his words

still Seemed to make a jest of the sit-

uation. ' Z ' '



“Nowenters the heroine. Spotlight.

Sa—a-ved,” he drawled.



The heart of the prisoner went out

to this man who Was reaching a hand

to him in his trouble. He had always

known that Maloney was as true and

steady as a snubbing post, but he had

'not looked for any. kindness from him.



“Kite just got a telephone message

from Saguache,” the Bar Double M

man went on easily. “Your friends

that bought the rustled stock didn’t

get away with the goods. Seems they

stumbled into a bunch of rurales un-

expected and had to pull their freight

sudden. The boys from the ranch hap-

pened along about then, claimed own-

ership and got possession.”





“If the men bought the stock why

didn’t they stop and éxplain?” asked

Buck. -



“That game of buying stolen cattle

is worn threadbare. The rurales and

the rangers have had their eye on

those border flitters for quite some

time. So they figured it was safer to

dust.” . ‘



“Make their getaway?” Curly inquir—

ed as indifierently as he could. But in

spite of himself a note of eagerness

crept into his voice. For if the men

had escaped that Would be two less

witnesses against him.



“Yep.”



“Too bad. If they hadn’t I could

have proved by them that I was not

CHAPTER V.

Laura London.





Curly back to Saguache and

turned him over to Sheriff Bolt.



“How about bail ?” Maloney asked.



The sheriff smiled. He was a long

lean leather—faced man with friendly

eyes from which humorous wrinkles

radiated. .



“You honing to go bail for him,

Dick ?”



“How much?”



“Oh, say two thousand.”



“You’re on.”



“What!”



A cowpuncher with fifty dollars two

weeks after pay day was a rarity. No

wonder Bolt was surprised.



“It s not my money. Luck Cullison

is going bail for him,” Maloney ex-

plained.



“Luck Cullison!” Maloney’s words

had surprised the exclamation from

Curly. Why should the owner of the

Circle C of all men go bail for him?



The sheriff commented dryly on the

fact. “I thought this kid was the one

that shot him.” '



“That was just a happenstance. Cur-

ly shot to save his bacon. Luck don’t

hold any grudge.”



“So I should judge.

his ‘check, did he?” .



Bolt belonged to the political party

opposed to Cullison. He had been back-

ed by Cass Fendrick, a. sheepman in

feud with the cattle interests and in

particular with the Circle C outfit. But

he could not go back on his word. He

and Maloney called together on the

district attorney. An hour later Dick

returned to the jail.



“It’s all right, kid,” he told Curly.

“You can shake off the dust of Sag-

uache from your hoofs till court meets

in September.”



To Flandrau the ,news seemed too

good for the truth. Less than twenty-

four hours ago he had been waiting

for the end of the road with a rope

aroundhis neck. Now he was free to

slip a saddle on his pony Keno and

gallop off as soon as he pleased. How

such a change had been brought about

he did not yet understand.



While he and Maloney were sitting

opposite each other at the. New Or-

leans Hash House waiting for a big

steak with onions, he asked questions.



“I don’t savy Cullison's play. Why-

for is he digging up two thousand for

me? How does he know I won’t cut

my stick for Mexico ?"



“How do I knowit?”



"Well, do you?” '



Maloney helped himself to the oys-

ter crackers to pass the time. "‘Sure

I do.” _ '



“How?” .



“Search. me. But I know you’ll be

September. if .yOu’re alive and

“Ain’t you as good a guesser as I

am, Curly?”



“Well then, here’s my guess.

Kate made him.”



“I reckon maybe she infiuenCed him.

But why did she? You don’t figure

that curly topnot of yours is disturbing

her dreams any, do you?”



“Quit your joshing and tell me why.”



“I can’t tell you for sure. But here’s

my guess. Don’t cost you a cent if

you ain’t satisfied with it. First off,

there was poor Mac shot by the Circle

C boys. Course Mac was a horse thief,

but. then he was a kid too.

ried the little girl some. She got to

thinking about brother Sam and how

he might be in the same fix one of

these days as you are now. He’S‘on

her mind a goOd deal, Sam is. Same

way with the old man too, I reckon,

though he don’t say much. Well, she

decided Soapy Stone had led you

astray like he’s doing with Sam. It

got to worrying her for fear her broth-

er might need a friend some time. So

she handed over her worry to the old

man and made him dig up for you.”



“That's about it. Tell me what you

know of Sam. Is he as white as the

rest of the family?”



“Sam is all right, but he has got off

wrong foot first. He and the old man

got to kind of disagreeing, for the kid

was a wild colt. Come by it honestly

from the old man too. Well, they had

a row one time when Sam got into

trouble. Luck told him he never want-

ed to see him again. Sam lit out, and

next folks knew he was trailing with

Soapy’s gang. Consequence is, Sam’s

accounts.” .





“Looks like someone ought to be

able to pry him loose from that bunch,”

Curly mused aloud.



Maloney grinned across at him. “You

try it, son. You’ve always led a good

pious life. He'sure would listen to

you.”



He had said it in a jest, but Curly

did not laugh. Why not? Why

shouldn’t he hunt up Sam and let him

know how his folks were worrying

about him? What was to hinder him

from trying to wipe out some of the

big debt he owed the Cullison family?

He was footloose till September and

out of a job. For he could not go back

to the Map of Texas with his hat in

his hand and a repentant whine on his

lips. Why not take a hike into the

hills and round up the boy? Of course

Sam might not listen to him, but he

could not tell that till he had tried. It

had taken him scarcely a moment to

make up his mind. The smile had not

yet died out of Maloney’s eyes when

he spoke.



“Darned

at it.” .

The man on the other side of the

table started at him. ‘



“Meaning that, are you?”



. “Yep.”



“Might be some lively if Soapy gets

wise to your intentions,” he said in a

casual sort of way.





“I don’t aim to declare

loud,”



That was all they said about it at

the time. The rest of the evening was

devoted to pleasure. After dinner they

took in a moving picture show. The

first film was a western melodrama

and it pleased them both immensely.





“I’d be afraid to live in a country

where guns popped like they do in

moving picture land,” Curly drawled.

“Where isvit anyhoW? It ain’t Texas,

nor Oklahoma, nor Wyoming, nor Mon-

tana, nor any of the spots in between.

‘because I’ve been in all of them.”

old fashioned pipe furnaces; it’s more easily cared , for, too.





It can be installed in one day without tearing up your

When Writing to Advertisers. 7
HE coat question is one which



is causing wrinkles in more than



one feminine forehead these fall



days, with their hint of winter in the



air. During the war we-wore our old



one from motives of patriotism, bond-



. buying, or inherent thriftiness, Any-



way, prices were rather high, and we



looked forward to peace and lower



prices. Peace came a year ago, but



alas, and alack! Prices seem even



higher than last year. The coat you



can buy for $50 this fall is of about



the same quality as you got for $15 or



$18 in those good old days that a cer-



tain class of citizenry tell us have

gone never to return.



Many women are solving the prob-

lem of the new winter wrap by making

their own coats. It sounds like a, tre-

mendous undertaking, but those who

have tried it declare that making a

coat is easier than making a dress, and

with the simple loose styles of this

winter it really should be. Half the

battle in coat making is in first secur-

ing a pattern that fits, and the other

half is in pressing. Keep a hot iron

by you all the time, press every seam

thoroughly as you go along, stick ex-

actly to the directions given with your





 





 





 





 





 





pattern, and when the coat is finished





pay a 'tailor a half dollar, or perhaps

it will be a dollar this year, to give the

garment a thorough pressing. If you

have had any experience at all in sew-

ing you need not be ashamed of the

garment you will have created.



In making the coat the really import-

ant question is deciding on the mate-

rial and color.~ There is such a wide

latitude in materials and prices and

colors that the decision is rather hard

to make. If you feel that you need

not limit yourself too closely, nothing

is lovelier than the Bolivia cloths.

These lovely coatings are so soft and

light that a coat made of them is hot

burdensome and yet is warmer than

the heavier and cheaper materials.

The Bolivias come in every color,

brown,» radium, copper, blues, greens,

old purple, in solid colors and in the

silver-tipped blues, browns, greens, in

fact, every desired color. '



Particularly beautiful is the radium,

a blending of blue and gold that is in-

describably beautiful in the sunlight.

If you are one of the fortunate mortals

who can buy a coat when you get tired

of the old one, this would be a good

choice. But if you muSt wear a gar-





The New Coat Materlals





 





ment three or four seasons it would be





unwise to choose so noticeable a piece ‘





of goods. Choose rather, a brown—

browns are always good—or a blue. Or

perhaps one of the very deep reds, if

that color is becoming.



Not so light in weight her so soft



in texture are the Bolivias at $7. 00 a

yard. But nevertheless they make

handsome and warm wraps. Two of

the pieces noted were particularly good

colors, one a dark brown” background

with threads of blue instead of “silver

tip," and the other in taupe.

' Silver-tone at $6.00 the yard comes

in a variety of brown and tan shades,

one particularly pretty one being ex-

actly the color of cinnamon and sugar

blended. ”



A heavy, coarse weave man’s suit-

ing in mottled brown and green is call-

ed heather. This makes a good, dur-

able all-weather garment. It may be

bought for $6.00 the yard and would

make a good coat for the woman who

rides a great deal in- winter. Lighter

in weight, and really more suitable for

suits than for coats are the velours for

$5.00. These would need a warm in-

terlining, and for this there is an extra

heavy outing flannel which may be





 





 





 





 





 





bought in a variety of shades.



For the lining of the coat the pretty

Persian silks would be first choice,

though conservative women choose 1111-.

ings of a lain color. They range in

price from $2.50 a yard up, the higher

priced ones, of course, being much

heavier and consequently better wear-

ing. If you feel that you can not pay

so much for the lining there are good

values in mercerized linings—sateens

we used to say. These are much cheap-

er, coming as low as seventy-five cents

and may be bought in solid or figured

patterns. ,



'As to the amount of coating requir-

ed, the radium Bolivia, is sixty inches

wide and a woman of medium height

and weight could get a coat out of

three yards. The other materials vary

in width from fifty-five inches to fifty-

eight. Of these narrower cloths three

and a half yards would be necessary

unless you are a‘ small woman. The

usual way. of determining is to meas-

ure twice your length. Careful cutting

fying collar. It may be in dolman style

or with fitted sleeves.





Keep the Mouth Clean-"EM W. Gage





R. MAYO,the celebrated surgeon

D says that the next forward move-



ment to be undertaken in the

prevention of disease is the procuring

of clean mouths among the people.

This will be a surprise to many folks,

but the fact remains that the human

mouth is one of the worst germ-carry-

. ing agents.



The mouth, which should be the

,cleanest part of the body, becomes the

filthiest when neglected. There is

nothing more disgusting than a mouth

which is a stranger to the tooth brush,

or one that is treated only occasional-

ly to a half-hearted scrubbing with

this highly necessary toilet article. A

person with such a mouth, when sneez-

ing or coughing, forces into the air dis-\

ease germs which immediately become

attached to dust particles, poisoning

the air which others must breathe,

with myriads of disease-producing

germs such as pulmonary tuberculosis,

pneumonia, diphtheria, tonsilitis, la-

grippe, the common cold, and many

others. Imagine, then, the result when

the person drives these germs into the

, stomach. '





Medical authorities advise us that,





fully seventy-five per cent of diseases

either originate in the mouth or enter

the system through it. Few people

have any conception of the enormous

number of germs (bacteria) to be

found in the human mouth. A conser-

vativeestimate, however, is that the

ordinary varieties which are to be

found in a diseased mouth number

about fifteen. Bacteria multiply so rap-

idly that tens become millions in a few

hours if the condition of the mouth is

favorable to their reproduction. '



.A noted bacteriologist has estimated

‘ that -in a certain unclean month there

~ , ,were not less than 1,140,000,000 bactes

" ria. ”Think of the condition of the at~

‘ here ofvra room inhabited by a

l-itb such a mouth!





 





Some of , .





these germs are more poisonous or dis-

ease-producing than others, but it is a

fact that the human mouth when in a

diseased condition contains many of

the most virulent germs known. This

is especially true of germs associated

with decayed teeth having abscesses

at their roots, and ‘those with pus

which may be pressed out from around

the necks of the teeth.



These conditions are not out of the

ordinary, but are quite common. In

fact, it is an accepted fact that dental

disorders are the most widespread that

affect the human race, and that many

obscure ailments affecting the general

system, such as chronic dyspepsia; gas-

tritis, certain nervous affections and

general diseased conditions of the blood

as pernicious anaemia, may be traced

to a diseaed mouth. This condition is

the result of failure to use the tooth

brush regularly and properly and to

consult a dentist when decayed teeth

or red, swollen gums are first noticed.



Fully twenty-five per cent of the

people suffer from pus at the .roots of





one or more teeth. This poison may

find its way into the stomach or intes-

tines by being swallowed, or may be

absorbed into the blood and circulatd to

all parts of the body. The health of

any peorson with an unclean mouth is

always in danger. The time is sure to

come sooner or later when, owing to a

cold or other cause, the individual be-

comes “run down” and his power of re-

sistance is lowered, resulting in a ser-

ious illness, the infection of which came

from the mouth. ‘



' Statistics show that over ninety per

cent of the children in our public

schools have decayed teeth or‘those

abscessed. In some communities there

are regularly held medical examina-

tions of the children, and if the par-

ents fail to correct the evils found ex-

isting, the community bears the ex-

pense. We are coming to-appreciate

that the nation’s welfare is‘ the indi-

vidual’s health.



. The tongue is often the seat of ul-

cers due to' the mechanical irritation

of decayed teeth having sharp edges,

and to deposits of tartar. Ulcers of

this kind when neglected, are often

the starting point of cancer. As can-

cer is much more prevalent than tuber-

culosis in those above forty years of

age, it is important to attend to any

ragged edges or points of irritation.



Due to its close proximity, the throat

may be infected from a diseased

mouth. Periodic attacks of tonsilitis

have been'traced ‘to an .unsanitary

mouth. A number ‘of diseases result

from. infected tonsils, and in many cas-

es the tonsils are infected from the

mOuth. The spread of diphtheria is

much more rapid and its virulence

greater among children with neglected

and diseased mouths than among those

whose mouths are in a fairly hygienic

condition.



An English physician discdvered in

an examination of 2, 406 people with

stomach trouble, including indigestion,

that bacteria existed in eighty-Beyen

per cent. In an examination of one

thousand chronic cases, ,thirty-six per

cent had less than half their natural

chewing powers owing to lossof tooth

tissue, while twenty-two per cent had

mouths containing germ-laden teeth.



To prevent as much as possible,

therefore, the contracting of disease,

two rules must be observed: First,

keep the. mouth as free from bacteria

as possible. This condition can best

be obtained by the proper and regular

use of the tooth brush, using it in such

a manner as to brush every part of

the mouth, the spaces between the

teeth and the top of the tongue. _



Second. Keep at a distance from

those suspected or having unclean

mouths, especially. if they are in the

habit of coughing or clearing their

throats. The power of resistance can





;" be maintained «by proper mastication , .

CONVENIENCE

AN 111.11.113.11..- aunt presented a watch

to one of our young sons and to

the other a. flashlight. For

nights it was absolutely necessary for

those boys to ascertain the time seven

times between going to bed and get.

ting up Then the novelty wore off,

both flash and watch were turned over

'to me With the remark, “Here, Mother,

you take them nights. They’ re awful

lhandy."



The very first night that flash regis-

ltered me as a firm friend, but it had

only just begun to show the reason for

its existence. It has proved just the

thing, so that we are thinking of get-

ting another to ease up on the de-

mands made for it.



Those who doubt it as a sensible in~

vestment are referred to the following

occasions when it has played first aid:



A11 nightly excursions to the wood-

~shed, coal bin, etc.



Hunting up the baby chicks at night-

fall.



Unharnessing the family horse after

dark.



Reading the incubator thermometer.



Hunting in dark closets for myste-

rious disappearances.



Examining sore throats in children

or wounds in animals.



It has proved invaluable nights

when the children were ailing, doing

away with the necessity of a lamp, of-

:ten so annoying.



Mail order houses quote these flash-

es for very little; local meI chants for

’a little more, but it will pay to invest

in one, wherever you buy it.

ies owning the ‘





pot-au-feu. Its origin dates far,

far back, Henry IV, when he





put into his mouth that he wanted

everybody in his kingdom to have

poule-au-feu (a fowl in the pot) every

(Sunday, and ever since the working

'clas'ses and the people in the country

districts~ look upOn the pot-au-feu as

)the great Sunday dish.



In the time of Henry the IV, it is

quite probable that fowls were mere

plentiful than beef, for now the prover.

I'bial fowl is replaced by beef, though

the people who can afford it use at

’least parts of the fowl with a portion

of beef. ‘Properly, pot-au-feu means

the bouillon and the boiled meat that

is used to make it, whether it be beef

'or chicken, or both, and one under-

stands in France that both will be

’served. Both are eaten, not as a mat-

ter of economy alone, but by prefer-

ence. This dish is made alike by both

rich and poor. Of course, there are

different prices for different pieces of

meat, and to be sure the poor people

"take a much cheaper cut, but their

bouillon does not suffer unless they

ieconomize in the quantity of meat

used for each quart of water. It is

said that eating in France is a very

Everyone knows that freshly killed

meat is the best for making soup, as

its juicesvhave not been impaired and

partially lost by preservation in cold

storage. The best cuts of beef for this

The following are the necessary

things to be used in making the na-

A good way to keep needles from rust-

from the waxed paper that comes

and lets it stand undisturbed over

night. The next day she 'strains it

through a coarse strainer and then

through a piece of clean muslin, and

bottles it for later use. When she

wishes to remove stains from linen,

she mixes some of this solution with

half as much water and lays the arti-

she wrings them out gently and care-

- 01‘ long ago a magazine devoted

ed several pages to the confes-

sion of a criminal. At least the

article was calleda confession, though

it was really an arraignment of soci-

ety, the criminal’s parents, and the

church, and an exoneration of the cul-

prit. Everyone except himself was to

blame ‘for his blasted life. He never

had a chance. The article was in a

empathetic vein, the writer evidently

sharing the criminal’s opinion.



I couldn’t help wondering when I

read it just how many really great and

good we’d have if everybody took the

same attitude towards life. There was

Abraham Lincoln. Just how much

chance did Lincoln have when he was

a boy? As I recall it he made allthe

chances he ever got. And to go away,

way back, how much chance would a

great, shambling, stammering boy

seem to have to become the greatest

orator the world ever knew? Yet

‘Demosthenes got to the top without

anybody offering him a chance.



As I see it, success or failure doesn’t

depend upon chances. It lies deeper.

Like the Kingdom of Heaven, it “is

within you.” We make our own choice

when we decide whether we will be-

come a worker or a shirker, whether

the thing we think we want is worth

sacrificing for or whether the mo-

ment’s pleasure is worth more to us

than the final attainment.



I know one girl who thought she

“had it in her” to be a great musician.

She was to graduate from an Ameri-

can conservatory and then go to Eu-

rope. Just before the European trip

her father died and whenthe estate

was settled she discovered that in-

stead of going to Europe she must go





to work. Ever since then she has

sighed about losing “her chance.” It

has never once occurred to her that if

she was really half as anxious over





studying in Europe as she thinks she>





is, she would go without summer furs

and eighteen-dollar shoes and save her

money. If she was really worth a.

chance she would make it. But

clothes and pleasure mean more to her

than study.



Another girl I RBOW’WhO thinks she

is worth a chance. There is no pros-





pect Of anyone giving her the money .





for her music, so she is going after it

herself. No work is too hard nor hours

too long if she can advance herself.

She loves pretty clothes, but she is

willing to do without them temporarily

and spend the money for efficient

teachers. She hasn’t a chance at all,

compared with the first girl, but she is

making one for herself.



There’s the same latitude of choice

when it comes to a question of going

right or wrong. Unquestionably it is

easier to do right in some surround-

ings than in others. But the choice to

do well or ill lies with you. You can

do right wherever you are, and if you

stick at it long enough you will lift

yourself out of your surroundings. It

is rather popular to blame society for

criminals, but that seems hardly fair.

To be sure, the world at large is a lit-

tle more ready to give the cold shoul-

der to the criminal than to hold out

the helping hand. But if he really

wants to do the right thing, if he

makes his choice and adheres to it, he

can always win out.



It all resolves itself into the general

truth that one who is worth a chance

makes it for himself. DEBORAH.





Sharing Our Good Things





N these days'of variety of interests



and occupation we sometimes do

not see our family together until some

uplifting message we have come across

in our reading, and which we long to

share, has grown hazy in our minds.

Here is the way one mother shared

the good things with her family, and

it answered so well it deserves being

passed on so others may profit by her

experience. '



She found on the front page of a.

magazine Stevenson’s beautiful pray-

er: “The day returns and brings us

the petty round of irritating concerns

and duties. Help us to play the man;

help us to perform them with laughter

and kind faces; let cheerfulness

abound with industry. Give us to go

blithely on our business all this day;

bring us to our resting beds, weary

and content and undishonored; and

grant in the end the gift of sleep.” ‘



The prayer was in, large type and

could be read across the room, and

that gave her the idea. She cut out

the page, and pinned it to the casing

in the archway between the living-

room and the dining-room. The hus-

band came in while she was fastening

it up, and having read it, said, “That

is good; I’m glad I saw it!"



Not a word was said about it but

every member of the family read it

and commented on it. In a few days

the oldest daughter asked to have it in

her room and the mother gave it to

her thankfully.



Very often she would find a. beauti-

ful poem, or a prose extract on a page

by itself, and this was always suit-

able for T‘Mother’s Bulletin Board,” as

the children came to call it. It was

not always a lesson selection.

an unusually funny story was put up

for the family to laugh at and talk of

at the table. ~



If she was reading a book and found

something she wanted to share, she

copied it on a typewriter, using alarge





sheet of paper and spacing the lines





:-





Often"





far apart so that it might be easily

read.

ily claimed what especially appealed

to them, so this led to the custom of

passing the extracts on to the chil-

dren’s rooms.



Having something new, pleasant,

and uplifting constantly brought to

their attention, gossip 'was seldom re-

sorted to in this family circle. So by

sharing her good things this mother

bestowed a priceless blessing upon her

loved ones—Mrs. J. D.





CANNING POULTRY.





 





UST at this season, many poultry



keepers are culling their flocks,

preparatory to the winter laying sea-

son, and the “slacker” hens are being

disposed of. Many housewives find

that it pays to can them for an emer—

gency meal or for use .next summer.



Canning of poultry is not radically

diflerent from the canning of fruits or

vegetables, the same general princi-

ples being followed. Among the gen-

eral rules, however, are these: Birds

should be killed and dressed the same

day of canning; they should be singed,

washed, out up, and cooled as for table

use; new rubbers should always be

used; covers should be fitted and test-

ed; the time of sterilization is import-

ant and should not be shortened a min-

ute (count time after water around

cans begins to boil). The length of

sterilization varies from one and one-

half to three hours, according to the

method used.



Detailed information on the canning

of poultry" may be had by writing to

the Home Demonstration Agent, Ex-

tension Division, M. A- 0., East Lan-

sing, Mich.





Pieces of‘ felt pasted on the bottom

of lamps or bric-a-brac that stands on

polished surfaces, will prevent ugly

scratches from marring the furniture.

VERY now and then I'get a peep

into the bookcase of a farmer

boy and it always gives me a

(warm feeling around the heart; be-

cause it helps me to know that this

'boy is making some friends that will

stand him in stead in years to come.

all wonder if boys and girls on the farm

very often think of their books in this

have an appeal to us, whether we know

it or not.



Since this is so, it is a good plan to

begin early to gather about one the

'best and choicest of books. Few in

these days will ever know the real

hunger I used to know when I was a

‘boy for something to read. We lived

away out in the country. Papers were

very rare in those days. We had none

‘after my father went into the Civil

War. There were no libraries we

could step into and get books as town

boys and girls can now. In a district

two miles from our house there was a.

small school library, but it had pretty

serious reading for a young boy. I

(well remember how my mother laugh-

ed when I came home fr’om that lib-

rary tugging a big volume of “D-Aub

iny’s History of the Reformation.” But

I had to have something to read and

I waded through the whole five vol-

umes of that set of religious histories.

And I made up my mind then that if

I lived I would have some books for

“myself and for my children, if I ever

had any. I began buying now and then

a book and slowly added to my library





choicest books to be had.





That is the way every farmer boy

and girl may begin. When there is a

bit of money that canbe spared. buy

some good book. If you have a. book-

case, well and good. If not put up a

shelf yourself, and keep all your books

'on it, always within easy reach. Dust

'them off now and then and do not let

the- sunlight fall on them, for that will

cause the colors of the covers to fade.



It is a. good thing to have some

books about the life of the country.

Take it in birds and flowers and trees.

_We may learn a great deal more about

these than we do now. Do you know

{all about the trees? Can you name

Next to the nature. study books,

choice books of good poetry, histories,

biographies—these are helpful and can

be had without heavy outlay of money.

In most large cities there are dealers

in books that will buy for us anything

we want at the lowest possible figure.

By getting in touch with these men I

have enriched my library lately with a

set of The Historian’s History of the

World and The History of the Nations.

Another almost necessary book is a

good dictionary. ‘





Now and then good books by pres-

ent-day authors can .be had, but be

careful about .these and take the ad-

vice of some good friend before you in-

vest in one of them. There are some

books coming from the .press in our

day that never ought to be in a young

person’s library—~nor an old one’ s eith-

er, for that matter.



Then, too, it is a good thing to take

some good young people’s paper and

after reading it file it away for future

reference. I would also like to see ev-





' ery young reader of the Michigan,





Farmer begin keeping a diary and

starting a scrap book of choice poetry

and prose selections. These are surely

invaluable treasures.



Books are a joy and a well of in~

spiration. Begin now to get-them.





HISTORY OF THE MONTCALM

CALF CLUB.





BY CLINTON GREEN.





N the evening of May 9, 1919,



about fifteen men with their sons,

met at the city hall in Greenville to

organize the Montcalm Boys’ and Girls’

Calf Club. Dr. Wm. Hansen, V. D. M.,

and Gifford Patch; Jr., county agricul-

tural agent, were the leaders. The ad-

vantages of pure-bred stock, the pur‘

pose of organizing a calf club, were

clearly outlined by them. They ex-

plained that the purpose of the club

was to bring more pure—bred stock to

the farms and to create an interest in

the farm for boys and girls.



Clinton Green was elected president,

and Elden Noggles secretary. Eleven

boys joined the club. Two boys bought

a calf .together and of the ten calves,

seven were Shorthorns, tWo Guernseys

and one was a Holstein.



The calves were either bought and

paid for by the boys with cash or by

a note to the Greenville State Bank.

The notes were drawn up for a year,

and seven per cent interest charged.

A' mutual insurance company was

formed'in the club, each boy deposit-





 





Felke’ Interest In Farming.





ing in the bank ten per cent of the

value of his calf to be paid the owner

if the calf died.



The meetings are devoted to the

study of the pure-bred cattle. We

meet every Saturday in the afternoon

at the home of a member of the club.





The Greenville Fair of this year will '





never be forgotten. Most of the boys





were there from Tuesday morning to,





Friday night and. of course, all. had a.

Bumper the White





 





‘PLAYING king was not an agreea-





ble role for Bumper. In the first



place, he felt unequal to it; and in

the second, he felt a good deal like an

impostor. How Jimsy and Wheedles,

would

laugh at the idea! They didn’t think

he possessed any kingly qualities. . They

would even dispute his leadership in

their own family.



But one thing-gave Bumper consid-

erable self-confidence. He was the only

white rah-bit in the woods. None of the

wild animals, except Buster the Bear,

who had spent a few years in a city

200, had ever seen a white rabbit.

They didn’t believe such a creature

lived. And the pink eyes! Why, they

alone were enough to distinguish him

from his country cousins, and set him‘

apart as one to be admired.



There was no question about the ad-

miration all the rabbits felt for him.

Respect amounting almost to awe for

his wonderful fur of white, and his

eyes of a delicate shade of pink, made

them feel that he was a. real king of

their tribe.



Bumper, after a while, grew accus~

tOmed to this admiration, and he be-

gan to feel pardonable pride in his

beautiful fur. Perhaps, after all, there

was something to the story the Old

Blind Rabbit told. If looks made one

a king then certainly Bumper was en-

titled to the position. He recalled the

words of his mother, when she told

him he was the handsomest of her

children, with the purest white fur and

the pinkest of pink eyes. Was that

another indication that he was design-

ed by nature to rule over his wild

people?



But one one point Bumper entertain-

ed no illusions. He was conscious of

his ignorance of the woods and the

ways of the wild creatures. Why, he

hardly knew one from another! He

had failed to recognize Mr. Crow on

their first meeting, and it is doubtful

if he would have known Mr. Fox im-

mediately if Mr. Bull-Frog hadn’t

pointed him out. Buster the Bear he

had recognized, for he had seen bears

in the city Zoo, and the Bats and Mr.

Sewer Rat were old'city friends of his.



But the woods were full of other

strange animals. He heard Spotted

Tail, 3. big gray rabbit,, and Fuzzy

Wuzz,_a demure little maiden of a rab-

bit with soft brown eyes, refer repeat-



edly to Billy the Mink, Mr. Beaver,

Sleepy the Opossum, Brown the Musk-

rat, Washer the Raccoon and Curly the

Skunk. Now to Bumper all these

names meant nothing, for he had nev.

er met the owners of them.



Were they friends or enemies of the

rabbits? If by chance he should meet

one what would he do? Rum.- away as

from a great danger, or greet him

pleasantly?

During this time he made it a point

to ply the Old Blind Rabbit with ques-

tions, storing up in his mind for future

use any words of wisdom that dropped

from the shrunken lips of the former

leader. His attention flattered the 01d

Blind Rabbit, who told Bumper many

tales and stories of his people, and of

the troubles they experienced in the

woods.



“My gravest fear for my people is,”

he said, “that they will never learn to

be fearless and self-possessed. A very

little thing frightens them and makes

them panicky.”



Bumper stored this bit of informa-

tion away in a cornerof his mind. “I . ,1

must not get panicky even if the oth-

ers do,” he said to himself.



“And another weakness of theirs is

that they always do the same thing

over and over again,” continued the

Old Blind Rabbit, “and our enemies

know it, and thereby trap them.”



“I must never do the same thing

twice alike,” Bumper reflected. “That’s

dangerous in the woods.”



Many other bits of wisdom fell from

the lips of. the Old Blind Rabbit, and

Bumper remembered all of them.



Of course, he couldn’t stay in the

burrow forever. Sooner or later he?

had to hunt with the pack. They went

out every day to get their food, and to .

enjoy the sunshine. So on the fourth;

day of his coming, when Spotted Tail

asked him if he was going to accom-

pany them, he said, yes, and prepared

to lead the way. -



And on that first day he applied

some of the Old Blind Rabbit’s wis-

dom, which greatly increased the re-

spect of his cousins for him. They

were feeding on birch leaves and. bark

in a clearing a long, long distance from

the burrow when they were startled

by the baying of hounds.



“The dogs and hunters are coming,”

Spotted Tail exclaimed in great fright.

“When they appear we must run to

the left " '



“Why to the left?” asked Bumper

curiously.



“Because rabbits always run that

way, making a wide circle to throw

RATION FOR YEARLIONG BULL.





 





Please ,tell me what would be a. suit-

able ratIOn for a yearling bull. I have

ensilage, corn stover, timothy hay,

oats and corn. What will I have to get?



Osceola. Co. . W. F. W.



A moderate amount of ensilage is a.

good feed for a young growing bull,

say twenty pounds a. day or ten pounds

night and morning. The corn stover

is also all right for part of the rough-

age. You could feed timothy hay once

a. day and corn stover once a. day. To

the grain rationof oats and corn mix

bran, part for part, that is one hun-

dred pounds of corn, one hundred

pounds of cats, and two hundred

pounds of bran would make a good ra-

tion, feeding him a sufficient amount

to keep him growing nicely. He ought.

to have probably six or eight pounds

of grain per day. L.





 





GROUND RYE FOR COWS.





 





I am writing for information as to

the feeding value of ground rye for

dairy cows. I have heard that rye was

a poor cow feed, but 1 have no corn;

have plenty of rye, some oats, and will

feed bran. Will equal parts of rye,

oats and bran, with corn fodder and

mixed hay make a balanced ration, or

would it pay me better to trade my

rye for corn? If rye is fed cows or

horses, should it be ground fine or

coarse? H. K. Allegan Co.



The chemical analysis of rye shows

that it is a. very good feed, much like

wheat. The greatest difficulty is that

cows do not like it very well, and they

will not eat enough of it for any‘length

ofltime, but if you mix ground rye,

wheat bran and ground oats, and feed

with corn fodder and timothy hay as





“,roughage, the results ought to be sat-





isfactory. Rye should be ground fine,

otherwise it is not very digestible. It

will pay you to feed to freshened cows,

after they have grown accustomed to

the feed, about one pound of this grain

‘mixture for every three or four pounds

of milk a cow produces in a. day. If a

cow produces better than four per

cent milk they ought to have a pound

of grain for every three pounds of





   





   





thevPrOperty of w. H. Neal. ,.





milk. If they produce less than four ..





per cent milk then one ’pOund 'of grain.

to four' pounds of milk. 0. C. L.





 





ENSILOING BEET TOPS.





 





Could you tell me Whether sugar

beet tops can be 'put in silo, and how

are they put in? ' -



Sanilac Co. V. S.





Sugar beet tops can be kept indefi-

nitely in a silo. I have tried this, so

I know from experience. We have

put them into the silo by running them

first through an ensilage cutter, chop-

ping them up, and we have put them

in whole. As they are wet they set-

tled down and keep nicely, except that

when put in whole they are so loose

on top that there is some loss.

can cover them with corn silage or if

you can get some wet beet pulp from

the factory to put on top to exclude

the airyyou can obviate this loss. Oth-

erwise there is no more trouble in en-

siloing sugar beet tops than there is

in ensiloing corn. L.





 





STRINGY MILK.





 





Can you tell me what is the matter,

or what causes milk and cream to look

slimy or stringy when pouring it from

one dish to another? ‘



St. Joseph Co. G. W.



Stringy milk is caused by a. bacteria.

Of course, sour milk is caused by a

bacteria, but a different kind. Lactic

acid bacteria. causes milk to sour, but

the stringy milk'bacteria. causes it to

become stringy while the milk is yet

sweet. This bacteria gets onto the

cow’s teats and falls into the milk

pail, and there germinates and develd

Ops. It can be done away with, by

washing the cow’s teats and udder af-

ter milking, with a. weak solution of

sulphuric acid. ,The dairy utensils—-

skimming cloth, pails, etc., should also

be rinsed with water containing a.

small amount of sulphuric acid. You

will only have to give this treatment

a few times to obviate the trOuble.

This bacteria gets onto the cow’s ud«

der usually from muddy pastures.

ENSILOIN CORNSTALKS.





 





I partially filled 'my silo.’ The all?





was good and well eared, which made

very good silage. Now, I still‘have

eight feet of available space in silo,

and have. four acres of corn in the

shock. This I intend to husk. Will

it be advisable to put this, fodder in

.the silo after .husking, which will be

about the end of October? '11; is Leam-

ing corn and the ‘ stalks were -~quite

green and very leafy when cut. »

it make good silage? »Will it .need

much water when, put in? W111 it





'have any effect on the silage Which is





now in the silo?



Oakland Co. L. A.



It is entirely practicable to finish

filling your silo with your cornstalks

after the corn is husked. The only

precaution is to use plenty of mois-

ture in filling. You ought to have a

nice stream of water running through

the ensilage cutter continuously. This

will make the stalks none to wet, then

they will pack down closely and heat

up and keep well. Of course, corn-

stalks will not make as good a food

as the corn would before it was husk-

ed, but you get a greater value out of

the cornstalks by putting them into

the silo than by feeding them dry.



It will in no way affect the silage

already in the silo. If there is any

silage in the silo that is spoiled prob-

ably it will be better to take off some

of the spoiled silage and throw it

away before you fill it withkcornstalks.

If you leave this on and put the stalks

over it will probably spoil some of the

cut stalks, and this spoiled stuff will

have to be thrown away, so clean it off

before refilling. L.





 





RATION FOR WEANING PIGS.





What is the best thing to mix with

ground rye on which to wean young

.pigs when there is no milk available?



Midland Co. J. M.



If you have no skimmilk at all it

would pay you if you could get it with-

out too much trouble, to purchase

tankage to mix with the rye. If your'

dealers do not keep tankage you could

purchase it by sending to Chicago for

it. Wheat middlings is the best home-





grown’ feed that I know of to feed to ‘,

young growing pigs, and the more mid-





dlings you mix with rye the better.

I would mix equal parts of rye and

middlings made into a rather thick

slop and then if you had a little tank-

age to add it would make about the





”best ration you can get where you





have no milk. If you can’t get the





tankage the pigs will do very well on

"middlings and rye.

EMMET COUNTY COOPERATIVE

COW-TESTING ASS N, No. 1.





 





HE Emmet County Cooperative.

Cow-testing Association No. 1, was

organized in the office of the Emmet

County Farm Bureau at Petoskey,

Michigan, Saturday, October 11. This

association is the first of its kind in

the upper part of the lower peninsula

of Michigan. The live stock industry

in Emmet county is going largely to

dairying, with the Holstein rand Guern-

seys as the predominant breeds. Eight

pure-bred dairy bulls have been

brought into the county this year, also ’

a number of grade and pure-bred cows. _ ' 4 '

The testing association has twenty.

four men signed up, with a number of

others who will shortly do so. The

following men were elected as direc- .

tors: H. H. Starmer, Clyde M6rford, ’7

Paul Schnelle, F. A. Zerby, F. W. Cook,

Edward Cetas and G. Lt Hicks. The

assogiation is looking for a competent

tester and will start operations as





.soon as the same is obtained.

" (comma from page 544):





of the Milk Producerst Association





Erf. was 'd’efivered in cities at‘ $3.60" .

’ ' ~ ' need the moral suppor‘t‘of the‘mem-





per mt. .- .



While the ‘early attempts at organi-

zation in Ohio failed to gain the advan-

tages hoped. for, the dairymen’srasso-I

eiation recently took on a more prom-

ising air. For a time .the situation con-

tmued to improve, but last year a

group ofImen apparently made up their

minds to wreck the farmers’ organiza-

tion. First they advanced the price

for milk and then charged that the

oflicers of the association were appro-

priating unto themselves the margin

between what this group of men offer-

ed and the price paid by the associa-

tion'.‘ Ina short time, however, these

men failed and they then owed the

farmers $154,000. These men then

declared that the farmers’ organization

was operating in" restraint of trade and

that the farmer members were profit-

eers. Later the officers of the associa-

tion were arrested at midnight and af-

terwards indicted. Other farm organi‘

zations offered assistance so that good

attorneys were secured «to defend the

indicted oflicials. While these men

were released they are not now allow-

ed by the cOurt to. get together as an

organization for the purpose of consid-

ering milk prices for tear of contempt

of court.



Professor Erf holds that in a gen-

eral way the law of: supply and de-

mand works. One of the functions of

the producers’ organization is to see

that this law works freely. In some

Ohio cities it has been the habit of

distributors and merchants to import

powdered milk and secure supplies of

fresh milk outside the regular area

when there is a shortage, but in other

seasons when a surplus occurs the. dis-

tributors invoke the assistance of the

boards of health to impose additional

sanitary requirements upon farmers to

reduce the quantity or milk delivered

by refusing to permit milk supplies

from certain farms to enter the cities

because of minor-infractions of health

board regulations.



It is the opinion of Professor Ext

that keeping of a. cost sheet to know

what each cow is doing for its owner

and the organizing for the improve-

ment of production and marketing con-

ditions will go liar in. paving the way

for the solution of the dairymen’s

problems.



The dairymen themselves are large-





dertaken. Consumers should be edu-

cated to feed their children on a liber-

al milk ration. An increase in the

quantity of milk used has been noted

in the Detroit area since this organiza-





more readily when they thoroughly un-

derstand its relative food value. The

association should also urge the pro-

duction of good milk. The producer

who persists in delivering poor milk

should be eliminated from the organi-

zation. '



This meeting showed an unusually

fine spirit prevailing among the dairy-

men of the state, and this notwith-





ly affecing their incomes were debated

on the. floor.

ed 013' the necessity of manitaining a

strong organization. They apparently

tution they have

H ISTO RICAL DATA WANTED.





 





ISTORIC sites in Michigan are nu-

merous and important.



Marking these historic spots

been going on for many years. Mar-

kers of all kinds have been placed,

from the bronze tablet to the statue

or memorial building, but nowhere can

there be found a complete descriptive

list of these memorials.



From frequent inquiries received at

their office the Michigan Historical

Commission with headquarters at

Lansing believes that such a list would

be a great convenience, to- citizens,

writers and researchers, and the com-

mission is therefore trying to gather

the list.



A feature story about the sites mark-

ed in your vicinity would be of histor-

ical interest. The items of most inter-

est to citizens seem to be:



1. Significance of site, historic set-

ting.



2. When and by what organization

marked. Important features of the 0e

casion.





3. Nature of the marker. Inscrip-

tion. it it bears one. Picture of the'

president of the National Holstein- .

Friesian Association. He held that 6‘ Memor erected to public citi-

. sens.



men are not entitled to sympathy un- .



7. Plans for a memorial to the sol-





less they make an effort to relieve

themselves of their handicaps. He re-

lated an instance where a man and

wife who twenty years ago were

scarcely making a living on a dairy

farm near Flint. are. now receiving an

annual income of over $1,000,000 in

the automobile business. It requires

a larger amount or executive ability

and skill to successfully operate a.

farm than to succeed in almost any

other line of endeavor. Farmers must

learn to create a demand for surplus

products-and help‘ the consumer to an

appreciation of value in the goods they

buy. ‘ '



Mr. Aitken contended that while

other industries were offering more at-

tractive salaries, dairying had certain

advantages that appealed to many peo

ple. In the agricultural towns of Ver-

mont the saving deposits in the banks

average $1,000,000 to every one thou-

sand of. population. In Minnesota

towns the savings are $1,250,000 per

thousand, while in manufacturing at

193 it frequently does not average ov-





diers and sailors of the great war.





SUCCESSFUL SALE.

at $580. She is a cow of great capacity,

weighing about 1,600 pounds. Joseph

\ iing crop—the farm will have





' ash.





‘ HAVE seen a lot of fanns that are

being sold piecemeal, though their

owners don’t seem to be aware of the

fact. They think they are keeping their

farm in their own possession,‘ but in

many cases they have sold quite a

chunk of it already. Then, again, it

isn’t such an easy matter as it appears

at first thought to keep from selling

some of the farm as we go along. It

is a. pretty good farmer that has de-

veloped a system that prevents this

fully.

Every crop we grow takes a certain

amount of plant food from the soil—a

fact we all recognize. There is plant





.food stored in the soil that gradually





becomes available to meet this de-

mand, “but under ordinary conditions

this is insufficient to make up the loss,

and if the cropping is continued a time





must come when the plant food avail-





able each year will not produce a pay-

been

about all sold.



Farmers have learned that it pays

to put back on the farm as much of

the plant food removed as they can

conveniently, but still a good many

neglect to do it that know, and some

others will not give the matter much

consideration. These go right along

selling their farm’s fertility, which

measures the farm’s real value. Farm

buyers are coming to take these things

into consideration and a wise buyer

will find out how the farm has been

treated and whether a large part of the

fertility has been sold before he in-

vests. He can build up the soil in

time but he knows that he will be the

loser for the time it takes him to do

this. '



Now to keep the farm from losing

any of its fertility we will be obliged

to replace somewhat more than the

manure that stock eating the crops

will produce, but many farmers do

this by judicious feeding of boughten

feeds, as Well as by growing legumes.

Alfalfa is a very strong soil builder,

for it not only takes nitrogen from the

air and stores it in its roots to become

a part of the soil, but it is very rich

in plant food which it returns, and

'when we buy alfalfa to feed we are

buying a valuable fertilizer at the

same time—one that contains about

fifty pounds of nitrogen, ten pounds of

phosphoric acid, and forty pounds of

potash to the ton. If we buy bran to

feed with it we get with each thou-

sand pounds twenty—six pounds of ni-

trogen, twenty-nine pounds of phos-

phoric acid, and sixteen pounds of pot-

Fattening animals make the

greatest use of the carbon in the feeds

and return almost ninety per cent of

the plant food, and while dairy cows

return a low percentage direct—about

sixty per cent—where the milk is fed

on the farm and only the butter-fat

sold the percentage returned altogeth-

er is high. From these ordinary farm

feeds we can see how we can supple-

ment the

farms and get profit from the use of

the feed. There are other feeds as

rich in plant food as these, and feeds

differ greatly in this. Cottonseed meal

contains about the same phosphoric

acid and potash, but nearly three times

the amount of nitrogen, and this feed

‘would be werth over two dollars a

ADVANTAGES IN HANDLING UNI-

FORM TEAMS.





 





"[‘HERE is great advantage to the





farmer to have all his work horses

of similar size, condition and tempera-

ment. Then they can be hitched in

any combination without having to tie

one back, use a jockey stick, a gag or

urge one with the whip. You frequent-

ly see one horse in a team prancing

all day long. If cultivating this trays

the driver’s temper outrageously. It

makes hired hands quit their jobs.

Such a horse is equally objectionable

in a multiple hitch, a constant source

of agitation and unsteadiness. A team

that is made up of all prancers or one

composed entirely of laggards is much

more desirable than a mixture of the

two sorts. One can gradually calm

down a bunch of prancers, or enliven

a sluggish outfit with a surprisingly

short course of vigorous treatment.

But to calm one horse and hurry an-

other in close proximity is beyond the

skill of the average farm hand.



The effort to secure uniformity is

certainly well paid for in results. It

cests little. If one is purchasing his

work stock from time to time, it is

commonly as cheap to pick the dis-

position he wants as to take some oth-

er. If he gets a bad actor the animal

is usually 'salable at first cost. The

breeder has a distinct advantage. The

kind, active, willing and durable old

mare has populated many a farm with

a class of work stock as alike as peas

from the same pod in appearance and

behavior. They can be hitched any-

where and worked in any way with

entire satisfaction.





doing their own driving after a few,





rounds at any new job. And a uni-

form lot of horses gain for their own-

er considerable distinction and re-

Spect. The fact is that such a charac-

teristic is the exception rather than

the rule throughout the countryside.

The real horseman, with horses all

alike, becomes locally famous for his

distinctive teams. Stock which he has

developed is deemed desirable. He

has accomplished something at once

unusual and practical, and men re

spect him forlit. And best of all, he

himself enjoys the practical advantag—

es of. his uniform lot of work horses.





FARM SALE PRICE RAlSED.





 





HAT the sale price of farms is us-

ually raised enough by landscape

gardening around the house to pay for

the cost many times over is the opin-

ion expressed by I. T. Pickford, Exten-

sion Specialist in Horticulture at the

Michigan Agricultural College.

In response to inquiries from vari-

ous parts of the state in regard to ef-

fective landscape work for the farm





home, Mr. Pickford is planning dem—"





onstration work for several counties.

The planting cf public highways will

be taken up at the same time, with the

idea of beautifying Michigan roads.

Nurseries of the state are cooperating

in the work by agreeing to furnish

SECOND EDITION.





 





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday af-

ternoon, October 30.





WHEAT. A





There is still some speculation as to

what effect the removal of the wheat

embargo will have upon the marketing

of this grain. Prices remain firm al-

though the market is fairly well'sup-

plied for current requirements. The

acreage seeded to winter wheat is con-

sidered on a pre-war basis, while fall

plowing in the spring wheat territory

is below normal. The visible supply

increased 1,581,000 bushels during the

past week One year ago No. 2 red

wheat was quoted at $2.231/2 on the 10-





 





cal market. Present Detroit prices:

No. 1 red . . . ........... $2.27-

No. 1 mixed ..... 2.25

No. 1 white 2.25

No.2 red 2.24

No.3red ....... ........2.20





CORN.





Several factors have aided in the

strengthening of the corn market. The

farmers are not selling liberally, due

to the extreme pressure of fall work.

Inclement weather has further restrict-

ed delivery from farms. The shortage

of cars is a considerable handicap to

trading and causes marketing to be a

little “spotted.” Stocks are low and

exports from Argentine are expected

to run below normal. Rumors that

Germany had negotiated a loan

strengthened Chicago’s market Wed-

nesday. The visible supply has scarce-

ly changed since a week ago. At this

date in 1918 No. 3 corn was quoted at

$1.35 on the local market. At Chicago

No. 3 mixed corn is quoted at $1.41@

1.42; No. 2 yellow $1.42@1.42%; De-





cember 51.27%; May 31.23%. Detroit

prices are as follows:

No. 3 corn ......... . . . .5146

No. 3 yellow ............ 1.48

No.4 yellow............ 1.46

No. 5 yellow .......... .. 1.45





OATS.





The cat market is firmer in sympa-

thy with corn. Eastern shippers were

taking this grain early in the week.

The slow' movement of the grain from

country places has been a. bullish fac-

tor. The visible supply shows a de-

crease of 78,000 bushels. One year ago

standard oats were quoted locally at

720. Present Detroit prices are:



No. 2 white ......... 7

No. 3 white .. ....... 74%@75

No. 4 White .........73%@74





RYE.





This cereal has recovered some of

last week’s loss. Investment buy-

ing has been a strengthening factor.

Eastern brokers are taking the grain.

Cash No. 2 is quoted on the local mar-

ket at $1.361/2 per bushel.





LEY.





Active trading has resulted in a

higher level of prices. In the east

commission houses are investing in

this grain. Prices on the local market

have advanced to $2.60@2.75 per cwt.

for cash No. 8.





BEANS.





The bean market is weak and inac-

tive. Rumors persist to the effect that

some of the big jobbers have sold

short and are thereby making impossi-

ble an early recovery of the market.

Many feel, however, that when the re-

action comes it will carry the market

well above the present level of prices,

so the majority of the farmers who

were not obliged to sell early are in-

clined to hold. The Detroit Board of

Trade has marked cash beans down to

$6.75 per cwt. In New York the trade

is dull and easy with domestic white

beans of choice variety quoted at $7.75

and do common to fair $7@7.5O per

cwt. In Chicago prices are easy and

buying is in small volume. Pea beans

hand-picked, choice to fancy are quot-

ed there at $7.25@7.75; red kidneys





SEEDS





The tone of this market is a little

easier with prices slightly lower. .At

Detroit prime red clover is now quot-

ed at $30.50: .Dec‘ember $29.50; alsike





‘at' $12@13.





EDS.





Feed prices are ruling steady with





I. last week as follows: Bran $45; stan-





M middling! $49050: fine middling:

$59; coarse cornmeal $60@61; crack-

ed corn $65; corn and cat chop $53@

54 per ton in 100-lb. sacks.





Trading is steady and firm. Detroit

quotations are: No. 1 timothy $28.50

@29; standard and light mixed $27.50

@28; No. 2 timothy $26.50@27; No. 1

mixed and No. 1 clover $24@25.



Pittsburgh—Receipts of good hay

continue light. Prices are steady as

follows: No. 1 timothy ,$29@@29.50;

No. 1 clover mixed $30@30.50; No. 1

clover $31.50@32.





POTATOES.





Growers in Wisconsin are receiving





slightly more at warehouses than are

Michigan growers, according to the

Bureau of Markets report. In the sis-

ter state farmers are receiving from

$1.80@2 with the majority going at





'$1.90@2 per cwt. fOr U. S. No. 1 round





whites in bulk, while in Michigan the

price quoted is $1.60@1.75, with the

majority selling at $1.60@1.65 for the

same grade. Detroit prices are firm

and slightly higher, with U. S. No. 1

Michigan round whites selling at $4

per 150-lb. sack. The same grade

brings 63.856124 per ISO-pound sack in

Cleveland; $3.90 in Pittsburgh, and

$2.35@2.45 per cwt. in Chicago.





APPLES.





The local market is feeling the ef-

fects of shipments from both the east

and west. Advertised apples from the

northwest are selling readily where

home-grown stock moves slowly. At

Detroit Michigan A-21,§-inch Baldwins





and Greenings are selling at $7.50@

7.75 per bbl. Bushel packed lots of

various varieties, fancy grade, are now

bringing $2.2’5@2.75. Fancy Michigan

Baldwins, Greenings and Twenty-ounce

are quoted at $8.25@9 per bbl. in Chi-





cago. -

, BUTTER.





Butter prices are held quite firmly.

Export buying continues notwithstand-

ing the fact that the longshoremen’s

strike prevents the movement of stock

out of the country. Local prices are

slightly firmer. Fresh creamery is job-

bing here at 60c and in one-pound

bricks at 62@63c. The Chicago mar-

ket is higher with creamery stock at

50@651/2c. In New York the range is

from 60@701,§c, and western creamery

extra brings _71c in Philadelphia.





EGGS.





Eggs are jabbing in Detroit at 60@

63c per dozen, according to quality,

with firms buying well-graded and

carefully packed lots “from farmers at

71c, cases included. The Chicago mar-

ket is somewhat unsettled with firsts

quoted at 57%@58c; ordinary firsts





50@52c, and storage packed firsts at~





60c. An irregular trade is reported at

New York, with nearby western stock

ranging from 7062950. In Philadelphia

the price has advanced to $20.10 per

case for western extra firsts.





CHEESE.





This market is strong and prices are

firmly held. The relative cheapness of

cheese in comparison to the price of

butter is encouraging holders to ask

in the comparatively heavy transfers

NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.





 





Butter.—The market is beginning to

show signs of sensitiveness, which is

very natural under the conditions that

prevail at the present time. The price

of butter is high, deliveries are uncer-

tain because of the continued strikes»

among longshoremen and the press-

men, butter is scarce and local demand

is becoming somewhat uncertain. The

consumer up until the present time

has apparently been willing to pay an

enormous price for his butter. At

present, however, he is beginning to

curtail his purchases. Export demand

continues to develop strength and it is

reported .that, Belgium has purchased

several million pounds of butter for

future delivery. Production seems to

have about reached the low mark. as

some sections are beginning to show

an increase. Receipts were somewhat

higher this past week. The increase.

however, was due principally to the

fact that 17 cars of Canadian butter

and 20 cars of interior storage butter

were received. The price of butter

advanced one cent on Monday. That

advantage was lost on Thursday but

was recovered on Friday and estab-

lished quotations that day were. as fol-

lows ; Extras 700; higher scoring than

extras 70%@71c; firsts 59@690; sec-

onds 54@57c. ‘-





Eggs.—The receipts of eggs have de-

creased materially this week but as

the price of eggs is curtailing the con-

sumer’s purchases the market gained

no strength. On the whole the mar-

ket can be said to .be weak and irreg-

ular. The quality of the eggs being

received is generally poor. It is ex-

pected that as soon as the strike situa-

tion becomes better there will be large

shipments of eggs to European coun-

tries which will draw materially on the

erybody'was ready to take the fertiliz-

er without questioh and pay for-it just

If everyone

pays promptly for feed on arrival of

the car it is not necessary to keep any

money in the business. Let us see

what this means. A car of feed at al-

most any time during the last year,

would cost fifteen hundred dollars or

more, and in our case we are handling

from ten to twelve cars a year. Now,

suppose I were obliged to keep fifteen

hundred dollars on hand all the time

to take care of sight drafts when they

come in. Somebody must pay interest

on .that fifteen hundred dollars. Eith-

erImust lose it, or the people who buy

the feed must pay it in additional cost

per ton. As it now is, not a cent of

money is necessary on my part.



Often a car is unloaded in a. single

day, with the exception of a. few sacks,

and as fast as the feed is taken, the

money is left. at the bank. The sight

draft helps collections. The knowl-

edge that the draft had to be settled

before the car was opened, either with

cash, or the credit of the one who had

ordered it, tends to quick collections,

because everyone feels that the honor

of the one who does the business for

the community is at stake, and looking

at. it in this way, no good reason is

left for delay in paying for what has

been ordered.



Again, if feeds are to be purchased

in this way, the one who does the bus-

iness must get enough out of ’it to pay

him for his time and labor. I have

known people who tried to order and

deliver large quantities of goods for

nothing, and while it was to the tem-

porary advantage of those who bought,

it did not last. No, the one who does

this work must have his pay, but the

cost will be very light if the person

in charge is a good organizer, and a

careful, consistent business man.



Our creamery has handled a. good

deal of feed for its patrons, and has

done it at a very small advance al-

ways, without the least difficulty in a

single case. Dealers in our little town

have always taken a share of the con-

tents of the car when they could get

it, as they have done in our case if

they needed it, and we could spare it

for them. The success of this enter-

prise depends upon the attitude of the

people toward it. If even the dealers

use their influence against the practice

of direct buying, it is not so easy to

succeed. The Writer, realized at the





- beginning, that it would be much bet-





ter to have an understanding With

them, and so we talked it all over. Our

dealers are as fine a. lot of men as ever

did business in any town. They could

not buy their feed in carlots, and so

were more ‘than Willing to take their

supply from our car, along with the

rest of us, when we had what they

wanted.



If the dairymen of Michigan would

buy their feeds in carlots, paying

promptly at the car, much money

might be saved. Much more might be

saved by the services of a man who

will study market conditions and buy

at the right time, either directly from

manufacturers or from a broker whose

experience and fair dealing have made

him a safe man to patronize.
