’ farm management

Farm Man is one in Which every

.agemeent farmer is vitally in-



Studies terested. Upon the





quality of manage-

ment which he gives his business des

pends in no small degree the measure

or success which rewards his efforts.

That there is a very considerable dif-

ference in the character of farm man-

agement as exemplified by different

farmers can be easily proven in any

community. A careful survey of the

farms of any agricultural community

will show a marked difierence in the

results secured. Upper apparently

similar conditions, one farmer will

make a good net profit on his year’s

business, while another will just play

even, or still worse have a charge on

the wrong side of the profit and loss

account.



So many things enter into success

or failure on the farm, that in a ma-

J‘ori-ty of cases of this kind, the result

is attributed to good fortune rather

than good management, but a. careful

study of the situation will generally

reveal the fact that good management

has been the'great factor of success in

every such case. It will be profitable,

then, for the less successful farmers

of the neighborhood to study the meth-

ods used by the more successful ones,

and to devote considerable thought to

the possible betterment of the manage-

ment of their own farm business.



The importance of this subject has

been appreciated to an increasing de—

gree by investigators, economists and

educators during the past generation.

Farm management has been made the

, subject of considerable investigational

work by a bureau of the Department

of Agriculture. Farm management

courses have been developed by a

number of the leading agricultural col-

bges of the country, and it will not in

bag before farm management courses

was, be the rule rather than the excep-

use in such hastimtions.



fire investigatinnal. work which has

been undertaken in this field has point-

so to a number of basic factors which

contribute to the success or failure of

fire average firm enterprise. One of

the individual farm; to which 11111 pne-

ciple of quantity production may be

applied to a degree which will give

economic results in the production or

a marketable surplus which will pro

income and profit. Another is the eco-





.nomic marketing of 'thepmdllcts so





produced. Still another phase or farm





'management is the relation of the farm





business and the farm family to the

community in which the farm is lo-

cated.





‘ The studyof this subject is a eomv





paratiVeiy new development. The pos-

sibilities of original research have by

no means been exhausted. There is a

wide opportunity for every farmer to

study the question of farm manage

ment as related to his own business,

taking into consideration his own ex-

perience and the experience of other

farmers in his community with which

he is familiar through observation.

Such a study will be both interesting

and profitable to any farmer who cares

to undertake it, and will, we believe,

be rewarded by a noticeable increase

in future profits from his farming

business. '

home when the solicitors called have

since signified their desire to join by

writing some one of the officers of the

organization. A follow-up campaign is

now under way, and it is certain that

the final results in Oakland county

will show a membership of over 2,000

of its most progressive farmers, as a

result of this campaign.



Arrangements have been completed

whereby this follow-up work will be

pushed in every county as soon as the

general solicitation is completed. This

plan will be adopted in Barry county

and Allegan county, in which the work

is now beginning. Apparently, the de-

mand for organization work is develop-

ing more rapidly than it can be taken

up by the officers of' the state Farm

Bureau. The work will, however, be

pushed us rapidly as pawl-hie, to the

end that Michigan may quickly devel;

important factor in the National Fed-

eration of Farm Bureau Organization-s,

which is being organised at a general

meeting in Chicago this week.



Something of the enthusiasm with:

which the work is being taken up by

local leaders in various counties is in;

farmers have signed collateral notes

to carry the work until the organiza-

tion can be completed. where can be

were only a motion or the violations

which actually mourned. '



These statistics are suflicient to

show the prevalent carelessness of our

people, both in the matter of driving

and walking. This carelessness is not

by any means all confined to the large

cities; in fact, it is perhaps less prov-

alent there than in the open‘country,

due to the restraining influence of at!-

equate police protection. '



There is need of a state-wide public

campaign in which citizons generally

of children, 111‘ the dangers of modern

highway traffic, and the‘ necessity of

avoiding them. «This can, in a large

measure, be accomplished by reading

accounts of accidents which may oc-

cur in other localities as a means of

impressing upon the children the need

for care in their play and in their trav-

el to and from school in order to avoid

the possibility of accidents.



Another very common cause of fatal

accidents in the country is neglect of

travelers to look out for trains, and

trolley cars at railway crossings. Pre-

occupation can be overcome by habit

of thought induced by a general public

safety movement. Farmers’ organiza-

tions should take this question up as

a topic for discusion, to the end that

general public cooperation may be se-

cured to lessen the number of traffic





accidents in the country as well as in”





the cities.

AS we go to press,

1718 the issue has been

— g _ , squarely drawn be-

€011,313er tween the govern-

Situation - merit and the leaders





of the striking min-

ers’ labor organization. In view of the

fact that the gUVernmen‘t was a party

to the present wage agreement which

was negotiated until the close of the

war or until April 1, 1920, the govern-

ment has taken the position that the

strike is illegal and in violation of law

as well as the public interest. On this

ground the federal court has issued an

order to the leaders of the miners' or-

ganization to call off the strike. It is

generally understood that in case this

order is complied with, a committee

of arbitration will be appointed by the

government to consider the grievances

of the men and negotiate a, fair settle“-

ment of same. in the event that the

court order is not obey-ed, however,

the strike leaders W111 be in contempt

of court and subject to punishment

by it. .



In its action; the Department of J us-

how toget \this work done. For. it is

almost a life-time job 'to tile :a large

farm when the workmust be done by

hand. And at the same time. there has

always been trouble aplenty with this

sort of tile drainage. While most ev-

erybody believed that those “old-time

tile'drajnage experts were doing their

work perfectly and much better than

could‘possibly be done by any sort of

machine work, still their drainage sys-

tems failed to give satisfaction. Tile

lines would get clogged with silt and

fail. Or they might just simply refuse

to draw off the water, apparently with-

out cause. And now many of our farm-

ers who spent thousands of dollars

years ago for tiling are being compell-

ed ta do the work all over. I was over

a farm just a few days ago that was

dug full of funnel-shaped holes. Some

of those holes were six feet across at

the top, were three to four feet deep

and. very small at the bottom. There

were so many ”holes that they inter-

fered seriously with working the field.

Those sinkholes, as they were called,

began forming right away after the

field was tile drained. The farmer

laughed when he first noticed them,

and said that Was a sign the tile were

working well. They worked so good

that they drew off the water and a lit-

tle of the soil, too. He said it would

soon stopt' But the wise old ditcher

didn’t say anything. This seemed sig-

nificant to me at.the time, and the

passing years have proved that my

early apprehensions were well found-

ed. Because things gradually got

worse instead of better, until now it is

almost impossible to work over this

field. But the ditcher wasn’t to blame.

He had done all that any-man could

do. But the facts in the case are that

itisn’t possible to do a perfect job of

laying tile by hand, especially on a

large scale. When you dig ditches by

hand, using the ordinary farm level

and carpenters’ level or running water

for lining up the bottom for fall, there

can’t help but be some slight varia-

tions here and there at one place or

another in the drainage system suffi-

cient to cause trouble. Now, in every

case mentioned, good, experienced

ditchers had been employed. But re-

sults have not been as satisfactory as

one would expect. And then I have

mentioned only a few failures where

there have been dozens of complete suc-

cesses. One failure, however, is a cost-

ly experience for that particular indi-

vidual. This is especially true when

applied to one farmer whom I talked-

to recently. A large part of his farm

was literally honeycombed with tile

years ago, the work all being done by

hand. It was'almost a failure, and





lately caused so much trouble that he

did the work by machine and placed

the lines just half way between the old

ones, buying new tile as this was

cheaper than to dig out the old tile.

He now has tile lines only twenty-five

feet apart, but the old tile is just about

equal to none. And he expects to take

it up for use elsewhere if labor ever

gets plentiful again.



As against all this I haven’t yet

heard of a single complaint where ma-

chinery and competent men were em-

ployed. The tile ditching machine has

grown in popularity in this locality

constantly for years, until now it is a

very rare sight to see anyone digging

tile ditches by hand. And this on very

small jobs.



One of our neighbors, a large owner

of flat, muck land makes a practice of

putting in a few tile every year. He

has been using the machine for fifteen

years and reports not a single failure.

He says that the machine does much

better work than is. possible to do by

hand. This man’s name is Frank Lu-

to swing that part of the expenses into

our own pockets we feel quite elated.”



The~productive farm work achieved

per man on the different farms shows

greater variationthan any other fac-

tor in a farm analysis. It is not an

uncommon thing to find two farms in

the same locality under practically the

same conditions where one farm shows





but two hundred and twenty-five pro-

ductive work days per man while the

other will show three hundred days

per man of actual work accomplished

with apparently little more effort. This

is because the one farm has a much

better organization than the other.

mum amount of work done for a given





 





 





every sense of the word. And if





the best drainage expert should of—‘





fer to tile drain every acre of Mr.

Lucas.’ farm, for nothing, ”doing the

work by hand he couldn’t get the job.



Mr. Lucas put in 3,032 rods of tiling





this year, which cost him about $3, 000. I.

And practically all of this was wheat ‘

land and the work was done between “





Wheat cutting and wheat soWing time.

.If this work had been done by hand

the cost would have doubled and the

crops interfered with for a couple of

years. That’s something worth taking

into account.



But you may be interested as to the

cost ‘of this job. Mr. Lucas said “the

actual total cost was between ninety.

seven and ninety-eight cents per rod.

This takes into account his own time

and board as well as that of his hands

and the machine men. The cost of

digging the ditch was one and a quar-

ter cents per inch per rod, and aver-

aged thirty—eight cents per rod for dig~

ging and laying the tile. To this must

be added the board bill for the three

operators. The six-inch tile cost $50





a thousand, and the four—inch $30 a.»





thousand. Add to this the cost of haul-

ing and distributing, and filling the

ditches. Then you have it all, nearly

a dollar a rod.‘ But it couldn't be done

for that with hand labor, and not near-

ly so good a. job.



I happened to be there just as one

of the main lines had been finished,

but the tile not laid. Usually they lay

the tile right up to the machine as fast

as the ditch is dug. But for some rea-

son they had not done so this time.

This machine leaves a groove in the

bottom of the ditch about an inch Wide

and an inch deep. This line, forty

rods long, had a seepy, springy place

at the upper end, and the water had

run the full forty rods in that little

groove without overflowing it at any

place.

the fall or grade was perfectly true

from one end to the other. Is it pos-

sible to do such perfect work by hand?

NEW PEACE-TIME INDUSTRIAL

BOARD.





 





N international board for the co-



ordination of industries and re-

sources for the national security, with

a view to the establishment of such

relations as will make their mobiliza-

tion in time of war less difficult, has

been created by the Council of Nation~

al Defense. This is the first move by

the council toward the building up of

a peace'time organization.



The new board is composed of Maj.

General George H. Burr, assistant

chief of staff and director of purchase,

storage and traffic, representing the

“Tar Department; Rear Admiral Wil-

liam Strothers Smith, Navy Depart-

ment; Van H. Manning, director bu-

reau of mines, Interior Department; L.

H. Estabrook, chief bureau of crop es-

timatcs, Department of Agriculture;

‘Dr. S. W. Stratton, director bureau of

standards, Department of Commerce;

Royal Meeker, commissioner of labor

statistics, Department of Labor.



The duty of the board as announced

by the director of the council of na-

tional defense, will be to survey and

classify the industrial and economic

resources of the country for the na-

tional defense. It is the judgment of

the director of the council that the

creation of this board is one of the





most progressive steps toward a scien— '





title and economical consideration of

the national defense in all of its vari-

ous phases that has in peace time been

taken under the government.

rialize, he said, and the United States

now has an excess of from 15,000,000

food supplies.

This surplus cannot be exported with-

out the establishment of credit machin-

ery and lower prices must come in

this country.



Failure of the foreign demand to ma-

terialize, Mr. Hoover asserted, already

has been reflected in slight reductions

in the wholesale market, though there

has been little decrease in the retail

prices.



The drop in wholesale costs will con-

tinue, however, the former food ad-

ministrator declared, and a tumble is

due in the retail market.



The Preéident’s advisers, the'wit-

ness disclosed, have been unable to

agree upon recommendations for hand-

ling the sugar situation. They are di-

vided on two proposals, one providing

for a strict rationing system and gov-

ernment regulation of prices, and the

other proposing unrestricted buying in

a free market.



Mr. Hoove1 thought both plans had

their advantages, but said no decision

was reached on either one, and the

differences of opinion continue.



To meet next year’s home demand

for sugar, he continued, half of the

Cuban crop, in addition to the avail-

able supply from other sources, will

be required. In Europe sugar produc-

tion now is only about seventy per

cent of the pro-war output.



Aside from all these factors, howev‘

er, the public is not without blame for

a large part of the high cost of living,

Mr. Hoover asserted. The "mania"

for buying expensive things which has

develOped in the United States he said,

is one of the big elements contribut-

ing to the prevailing high prices of

foodstufls, as well is advances in the

costs of other commodities.





 





BUTTERFAT PRICES TO JUMP,

SAYS EXPERT.





 





EPCRTS from 218 cooperative



creameries in different sections of

Minnesota for August 1919, show the

average price for butterfat by these

creameries was 62.75 cents. Fifty-two

paid from sixty-five to sixty-nine cents,

116 paid from sixty to sixty‘four cents,

forty-one from fifty-five to fifty-nine,

and nine from fifty-two to fifty-four

cents. Cream buying stations paid

around fifty-three to fifty-five cents.

Butterfat prices, says A. J. McGuire,

of the agricultural extension division,

St. Paul, will probably be higher the

coming winter than ever before.

FARMERS INVITED TO LABOR

CONFERENCE.





 





EPRESENTATIVES of the Na.-



tionai Board of Farm Organiza-

tions have been invited to participate

in the conference of the one hundred

and twelve industrial unions tentative-

ly called by Samuel Gompers to meet

in Washington, December 13.



Just how the farmer will participate

has not been definitely settled, accord-

ing to officials of the national board,

which acts as an official clearing house

for fifteen or more agricultural asso-

ciations. It is certain, however, that

there will be delegates from these





'1tarmers‘ organisations at the labor





conference.

MORE FOOD ‘EOR PEOPLE.





 





O



TILIZING. of a large part of forty-

flve billion pounds of whole milk



in such by- products as condensed and

powdered milk, cottage cheese and

curd cheese, was advised by B. ll.

Bowl, assistant chief of the Bureau LL’

Animal Industry, Department of A311-

culture, Washington, before the con.

vention. of the Minnesota Creamery

Operators and Managers’ Association.

“It is possible to utilise fifteen bil-

lion pounds of skimmil-k for food con-

sumption," Mr. Raw} said. "‘In the





face of ”the present world shortage of





food, it is well nigh criminal to permit

a food of such vi-tamine valuctobe fed

to animals. One hundred woods of

skimmilk fed to a young pig will pro-

duce only fifteen: pounds of pork. At

present skimmilk is largely fed to live

stock.”





 





BUCKEYE FARMERS NOW OWN

MANY ELEVATORS.





 





LARGE increase in farmers’ ele-



vators in Ohio is reported by H.

E. Erdman, of Ohio State University,

who has been studying the larmers’

elevator movement in Ohio during the

past few years. At present there are

probably more than 11170 hundred com-

panies in operation in- Ohio, represent-

ing an increase of about seven hun-

dred per cent during the past year.



The increase in number is due to

the dividends paid into the farmers’

hands rather than to the grain dealers,

according to Mr. Erdman. Other rea-

sons giVen for the increase are the

general organizing system‘ of farmers

and the necessity for cutting out the

middlemen's profits.



Some of these companies do a large

business annually, a few amounting to

between $400,000 and $500,000. A; num-

ber of the companies have increased

their capitalization during the last

year and many of the newer compa-

nies are starting out with a capitaliza-

tion of erm $40,000 to $60,000.

The subject of freight rates will be

thoroughly dealt with. Rates within

Michigan are not on an equal basis

with other sections and other states

are getting lower rates into Michigan

than we are getting to them. This dis-

crimination is adding hundreds of

thousands of dollars to the fruit costs

which in the end is paid by the con—

and the; goVernment—r-the, free, repre-





' " lives and which in peace and in war

“ ' . he patriotically supports, is the best

.1 ' government in the World. Its distin-

‘ ,guishing feature is that it is a gov-

ernment of laws—not of men. But

. . . laws have their source in the hearts

1 ' - and minds of men, in their needs, in

A their desire to correct abuses and in-

equalities, in their ideals of justice and

equal opportunity for all. The glorious

thing about a sanely progressive demo-

cracy is‘that your ideals sooner or lat-

;, er are-bound to find expression in the

9'? law. As to how sanely progressive

your democracy will be depends on

the intelligence, the self-restraint and

conscience of the people—in other

words, of the average citizen within

its borders.



But the road to reform has not al-

ways been short nor'easy, as the farm-

' ers who have traveled it, or are famil-

1 iar with the history of farmers’ move-



ments, well know.

. It is a far call from the Grange of

'5 1867, founded for the purpose of ad-

‘ vancing the social .needs and combat-

t 2 ing the economic backwardness of

2 " farm life, down to the Smith-Lever

g ' law of 1914 with its beneficent provis-

’ ions for cooperation ‘ between the

states, their agricultural colleges and

the federal‘government in farm dem-

onstratidn and home economics work.

But some splendid monuments to the

earnestness and success of the earlier

farm movements are to be found here

and there on the way. It was hardly

to be expected that they would succeed

in everything. I think you will agree

with me that it is fortunate for them-

selves and the country that some of

their plans were doomed to failure,

such, for example, as the free coinage

of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one,

or the government ownership of rail-

roads, telegraph 'and telephones, both

advocated in the populist platform of

1892. But here me some of the endur-

ing monuments they erected in their

onward march: Declaring in 1874 that

they were not the enemies of railroads,

and that the charge that they stood

for communism was not true, the

grangers secured the enactment of the

Granger state laws for the regulation

of the railways as common carriers,

the general principles of which were

indorsed by. the Supreme Court of the

United States. It was 'a signal victory

for the public when in the great case

'of Munn vs.'Illinois, decided in 1876,

it was held that private property “de-

voted to-a use in which the public has

on which has been based every date-

:well as every judicial decision sustain-

farm need from a woman’s finery to a

threshing machine, to the operation of

flour mills and the manufacture of

farm machinery, went’ too far, and

there was loss and disaster in many

states as a consequence. The cooper-

ative spirit was commendable, but it

was cooperation “overdone.



But. let us not forget the real

achievements and the spirit of service,

the desire for human welfare behind

them. Whatever may be said of the

Farmers’ Alliance ’and the People’s

party which followed later, it was the

Grange that blazed the way, that gave

“the initial impulse and prepared the

way” for the establishment of the

rural library, the lyceum, the farmers’

institutes, the better development and

utilization of the agricultural college

and for the establishment of that now





wonderfully. equipped and helpful den





partment of government, the Depart-

ment of Agiiculture.



To these we may add the impulse

and the influence sp1inging from the

demand of farmers and farmers’ or-

ganizations which brought about the

enactment of the ‘Arid Land Reclama-

tion Act of 1902, the Inteistate Com-

merce law, the Puie Food laws, and

the Railway Rate laws of 1906.



And here I am 1eminded that yes-

terday was Roosevelt Day. A grateful

people revere his memory for what,

among aghundred other great deeds,

he accomplished when President in

1906, in urging to the point of demand-

ing of congress that it enact these two

last named laws. He is reported to

haVe said that “for twenty years now

the people have been petitioning con-

gress to enact a pure food law, and in

behalf of the people I demand that





this congress get busy and pass the.





law.” He was just as insistent on the

railway rate legislation which purged

the railway service of extortions, re-

bates and discriminations innumerable

and gave new emphasis to the princi-

ple that the property of the public

service corporation must be used in

and not against the public interest.



And when we once get rid of this

present incubus of government con-

trol and operation, and the roads are

turned back to the old managements,

it will be under a law which clearly

recognizes that principle, and which,

however it may protect the railroads,

their stockholders and owners, will

have the welfare of the public as the

ultimate aim.

Her: 2': W Izaz‘ He Says:





In those old days the farmer fought

against the “menace of privilege.” The

shibboleth of the union to which he

belonged was not the expression of

his own selfish desires, but it was

,“equal rights to all, special privileges

to none.” Let the knowledge of how

he has succeeded and of hispresent

aims make us optimists not alone as

to his future, but as to the stability of

American institutions amid a complex

civilization. _



So much for history and the prog-

ress of which it furnishes the proof.



What is .the relation now between the

farmer as such and the government?

Can he be heard? Is he entitled to a

hearing by congress or by the execu-

tive or by any department of govern-

ment coming in contact with his ac-

tivities and needs and having the pow-

er to act in his behalf?



The right of a petition for a redress

of grievances is guaranteed by the

Constitution. Congress can pass no

law abridging that right. If there is

any industry in our land which, by

virtue of its intimate relation to every

other and to the prosperity of the re-

public, should be permitted to freely

express its grievances and secure

their redress, it is this great basic in-

dustry of agriculture.



It is entitled torecognition by virtue

of its seven millibn farms with their

nearly six hundred million acres, with

a valuation of sixty-five to seventy bil-

lion dollars for the lands alone, exclu-

sive of implements used in operating

them of the value of two‘ billion dollars

or of the live stock which they feed of

the value of nine billion dollars. It is

entitled to recognition by virtue of the

fact that there are probably fifteen mil-

lion farmers or others gainfully em-

ployed on the farms of the United

Stateswith nearly fifty million of our

estimated population of one hundred

and ten million immediately dependent

on this great industry. There was a

fine opportunity lately to express some

appreciation of the magnitude of the

industry—of its vast importance, of its

relative rank compared'with other in-

terests—but at the great industrial

conference at Washington in session

but a. few days since, made up of the

three groups representing the public,

the employers and the employee, the

public was allotted twenty-five, the em-

ployers seventeen and the employee

seventeen representatives; the farm

ers, as such, not one. The three mem-





 





bers 1epresenting fa1mers’ organi'zaf

tions were Mr. T. C. Atkeson,‘ of the

National Grange; Mr. Barrett, pres!»

dent of the National. Farmers’ Union, -‘

and Mr. J. N. Tittemore, president of

the National American Society of

Equity. But these men, whether actun ' .

a1 farmers or not, were listed among

the representatives of the employers .

of labor with Mr. Harry A. Wheeler, '

vice—president of the Union Trust Com?

pany of Chicago, as chairman of that

group. How much, if any, these dis- ‘

tinguished gentlemen were handicap-

ped or embarassed by their environ- .

ment I would not dare to say, but I

can imagine that membership in a.

public group, properly officered, would

have appealed to them more. Mr. Bere

nard M. Baruch: formerly chairman of

the War Industries Board; but whose

regular business is that of a million-

aire operator on the stock exchange,

was made chairman of the .public

group—another example, as it seems

to me, of a want of just discrimination

in the designation of the members and

oliicers of these two groups. There is

an “eternal fitness of things” which

appeals to the sense of the average

man, but many of the selections in

both the public and employers’ group

ignored that principle, and to that ex-

tent weakened the public confidence in



a just solution of our big industrial

problems.





   





 

 





   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





But in the employee, or labor group,

there was consistency throughout.

Starting on the assumption that there

was no labor but union or organized

labor, or if there was, it must accept

the leaders of organized labor as wits

spokesman, or perhaps stay out in the

cold, all the members of that group,

with Mr. Samuel Gompers at their

head, were listed as high officials,

presidents or secretaries of various

labor unions, including the officials of

the four railroad brotherhoods~all

save one lone representative, Mr. Paul

Scharrenburg, of San Francisco, who

is classed as editor. I never heard of

him, but it is probable that his rela-

tions to organized labor would be

shown by a visit to the editorial

sanctum.



But there were three men, out of

fifty‘nine persons, to represent in this

conference the one industry which iS'

fundamental, and well—nigh universal,

and which outranks most of the oth-

ers combined, in the number of people

engaged in it and at once dependent

upon it, and in the material wealth it

produces. There should have been a

fou1th gioup. It should have been. as

large as either of the others and fairly

representative of the men who work

longer hours and get less pay than

the men who work in the steel mills ,

,1 rents developed at the Farmers’

National Congress at Hagerstown,

. ‘» Maryland, during- the week ending Sat-



urday, November 1.



It became evident from the outset

that the majority of those present had

absolutely no sympathy with the direc-

tion organized labor has taken within

the last three months. It became equal-

ly evident that the farmers are anx-

ious to perfect a cohesive organization

among themselves, and that they hold

themselves absolved frOm any respon-

’ sibility for high costs, and, indeed, ex-

pect even higher prices for their prod-

ucts than they are getting.



The temper of the gathering toward

radicalism and strikes was plainly set

forth in resolutions passed. The ’reso-

lotions were-introduced by Dr. Thomas

B. Symons, of Maryland State College,

and were passed without a dissenting

Voice. Radicalism, strikes, labor un-

rest, etc., were strongly condemned,

and the congress pledged to the Pres-

ident and the government all possibly

support in anything that would be

done to deal with the “national crisis.”



Ohio Man Sounds Keynote.



Little was heard openly of a farm-

'ers’ organization, except for talk in

hotel lobbies and around” the auditor-



ium where the congress met, until A.

‘ P. Bundles, of Ohio, took the floor. Mr.

Sandles’ speech wa not expected to

be an especially im rtant affair, but

it proved to be the feature of the day.



He made a strong plea for organiza-

tion of farmers and from the outset

the meeting was with him. Bursts of

applause interrupted him as he elab~

orated his idea and painted the power

that would be the farmer’s with an or-

ganization as well knit as that of labm.



“We are now.” said Mr. Sandles, “ at

the mercy of the politicians. Every

politician that comes along says he

was born on the farm and so was his

wife. He’s going to buy a farm as





and come back to live the great life.

And the poor farmer votes for him and

that is the last the farmer ever gets

The grain show, Which

the annual live stock show, will be





the biggest thing of its kind in the country, all middle western

has been allotted more show space than any other state, and her

educational exhibit will be the feature of, the show.



The Michigan Crop Improvement Association, the Michigan Po-

‘tato Growers’ Association, and the Michigan Agricultural College

are cooperating in the preparation of the state exhibit. In addition

many of the leading farmers of the state are entering private show

samples in competition for the prizes offered on the $l0.000 pre-





mium list.





“The state exhibit will feature Michigan’s seed industries, show-

ing the highly diversified seed production of the state,” says Prof.

J. F. Cox, Farm Crops Specialist at the Michigan Agricultural





College. “The exhibit will pay





especial attention to the produc-





tion of pedigreed seed, in which field Michigan is a recognized





leader."





 





 





badly they haven’t got the nerve to do

for Uncle Sam what he really needs

to have done for him.



“The reason is that labor is organ-

ized. They stick together and act to-

gether and vote in a solid chunk. And

if there is anything that a politician

can listen to t’s a crowd.



“Kaiser Stamp" on Organizers.



Concerning the professional organin

ers among labor, Mr. Sandles said:





honest workmen—for whom we will

do much in the way of helping from

the neck down, protecting his body by

safety devices and giving him insur-





ance, but for whom we do precious





little from the neck up—they work on

em own American product and before

long he has got the fever and is wav-

ing the red flag.



“There is only one thing to do with

those fellows, and that is either to





Trend Against Price-Fixing.



So that, while the farmers seem in-

clined to form some sort of organiza-

tion, they certainly are out of sympa-

thy with radicalism and cut-throat

methods. The attitude of the farmers

on government control of wheat ‘and





what they are likely to do about it'





before they adjourn is indicated by

the way J. H. Kimble, president of the

gangress, dealt with it in his address

at the afternoon session.



“I believe we are agreed,” said Pres-

ident Kimble, “that supply and de-

mand should regulate the price of com-

modities. Regulation of prices may

have been necessary during the war

period. Now, however, fixing of prices

destroys the fundamental basis on

which business is conducted. No such

policy can deal fairly with the farmer

on account of the impossibility of reg-

ulating sunshine, rain and other

weather conditions. We want educa-

tion and cooperation, but not regula-

tion.” .



Dr.uA. F. Woods, president of the

Maryland State College of Agriculture,

was another of the speakers. Dr.

Woods said the time had come when

the farmer must become educated, es-

pecially.as regards farming. He said,

too, that the farmer must be educated

to the idea of community service, rath-

er than the idea of individual gain,

though the latter came all the more

surely through practicing the former.

Dr. Woods was another who touched

on the labor question. Continuing

along the community service sidea, he

said:



"Upon'the‘farmers of the world rests

the responsibility for the well-being of

the world. I hope the farmers never

will call a strike Strikes should be

curbed and the farmer should be the

last one to make use of such a means

to obtain ends he is demanding.”

tically all of the work without neglect-

ing any crop at any time.



After the cats and barley are in.

about May 1, there is plenty of time

to get the corn ground fitted and the

corn in before the first cutting of al-

falfa is ready. The haying is out of

the way in time to harvest the grain,

and this in turn is usually thrashed

before it is time to fill the silo. Culti-

vating is sandwiched in between the

' big operations from time to time,

which is not difficult.



The work on the crops is done with

three and four-horse teams so that

many of the operations are accomplish-

ed with the labor of one man which

usually require double the amount of

man labor.



.. The fields are large and well arrang~

ed so that there is no loss of time in

”getting about or turning with the large

, teams. as is usual on the majo1ity of



"farms that have not been rearranged

V’ since the use of three and four-horse

cams and gas tractors became a com.

moo practice.





little time islost in going to and

fields The expense due to





be buildings are so located that ,





Crops equal to what would otherwise

be a. fair profit. The interior arrange-

ment of the barns enables them to use

labor-saving machinery that helps to

cut down the amount of labor needed.

All of the hay and grain is handled

with slings and even though the grain

does not handle quite as well at thresh-

ing time as it does when put in by

hand, the expense is lower handled in

this way and the trouble of getting ex-

tra help at any definite time is elimi-

nated.



An even distribution of labor over

the year, through-the winter as well

as during the crop season is an im-

portant factor in keeping the labor

costs low. Mr. Benton is able to do

this on his farm because the cattle re-

quire practically no attention glaring

the summer andin the winter they

furnish enough work to keep both men

busy. All the manure is drawn di-

rectly from the cattle pens to the field

and spread each day. Until the mow





 

 

 

 

 

 

 





is too deep 3 manure sum is used





and after that a homo—made sled and

that serves the purpose. Mr. Danton

finds that there is very little loss of

fertility by this method and it gives

an opportunity to make use of winter

man-labor and idle horses. This prac-

tice substantially lowers the cost of

producing the crops as this work would

otherwise come at a busy season when

labor is expensive and hard to find.

It also keeps the cattle much cleaner

and the stables neater than the usual

method of leaving the manure to pile

up during the winter to be hauled in

the spring.



The labor connected with the mar-

keting of the farm’ 3 production is min-

imized because the cattle and the cats

are the two principal sources of in-

come and these are marketed in large

quantity and only a few times a year.

It is often more convenient for a farm-

er to have his income divided into

mller parts and some in at shorter





intervals but if it is possible to finance

the business and decrease the cost of

marketing by selling in larger quan-

tity, all well and good. an increased

profit is the result.



It may not be possible for everyone

to avoid the necessity of paying out

cash for hired help since everyone

hasn’t a son to share the work and

responsibility, but at the same time it

is possible for everyone to apply the

same principles as have been carried

out in the organization of Mr. Denton' s

farm and cut the labor expense as low

as possible. Every farm canhave a

good arrangement of fields. can have

buildings made convenient to work in.

can have a rotation that is properly

adapted to, meet the requirements of

the live stock and the cash crop mar-

ket. and can make use of labor-saving

machinery such as hay slings, manure

and feed carriers,,self-feeders, power

grindstones, three and four-horse im-

plements and many other devices now

on the market that will help solve the

labor problem. Over-equipping must

teen cows. Of course he does not do

it in the old hand-way, and he does not

pails .when they are filled.





A paragraph in this journal some0





weeks ago prompts me to say some-





thing about this boy and the farm

machinery which we have. We have

used. the mechanical milker four years.

There seems to be a natural bent to-

ward machinery in most boys.

first year we had the machine'he be-

came anxious to familiarize himself

with the little trick of attaching the

teat cups. In a short time he could do

it so ’quiekly as to cause some wonder-

ment on the part of anyone who might

observe him; From time to time we

had visitors at the barn, and I have

allowed him to show them about the

machine, and he always took particu-

lar pride in showing other boys how

“real milking is done.” After schbol

hesitates, he has became so familiar

with it that he is generally successful

in starting it. He has but little trou-

ble with the motors in the tops of the

pails. If I am engaged in field labor





‘or am away,_I positively have no rea~





son to worry about the milking, and,

in fact, all other chores, and during

haying and other rush seasons the

two boys have milked alone and at

those times there were seventeen

cows.





I have not asked the boys to do any

particular work with a farm machine.

I know when they are interested they

will ask for the opportunity. I do not

believe in giving the boy the oldest

tool on the farm to try out. I believe

in giving him one that will work, and

when he does meet with success he

will be anxious to take hold ‘again.

Nothing succeeds like success is true

in boy life. I had this brought home

to me particularly this summer. We

were using two mowers. The older

boy asked to ride the one which I was

using. It was giving some trouble.

When the machine got partly around

the field the trouble developed again.

He was greatly worried, fearing he had

caused the trouble. When he changed

to the new mower, and he observed

how nicely it operated, he‘was quite

enthusiastic over his work. I always

believe in having a farm .machine in

dependable condition to do its appoint-

ed task before it starts. I know from

boyhood experience and frOm observa-

tion that nothing will disgust a boy

more with machinery than to be com.

become acquainted with machinery,

and such overhauling as may become

necessary will not be so ir’ksome to

111111.119 when he is first learning.





My boys have had a curiosity to in-

vestigate gasoline engines, grinder,

cutter, saw and other machinery'about

the farm, either operating, or standing.

This is true of all farm boys. I have

always tactfully told them to avoid

belts, pulleys, and gearing, and by ex-

ample, not scolding, I have impressed

the wisdom of care about farm ma-

chinery. However, I now recall in-

stances where their carelessness

might have caused considerable pain,

and- perhaps the loss of an arm. When

the older boy was about seven years

.old he was, about the barn when I was

cutting cornstalks, using engine and

cutter. There was no elevator, attach-

ment, and as I was about tostep to

the front of the machine to remove the

cut stalks he began pulling them out

from under the machine and to brush

them from the spout. He reached up

so far that one of the blades caught

his mitten, tearing it off and cutting





it to pieces. The thought of the possi- ,





ble consequences now makes me shiid-

der, and I continually watch where

there is such element of danger. At

another time when grinding feed the

grain needed brushing into the bottom

of the grinder when finishing the oper-

ation. I noticed my boy' using his fin-

gers to clean it off a very narrow place

on which it gathered. His fingers were

dangerously near the Crushers, and

thereafter I advised his using a stick

which would readily break if caught.





I believe in giving boys freedom of

a. machine, yet I positively do not be-

lieve in _prematurely rushing them

headlong into mechanical work of

which they are afraid. A boy should

acquire his confidence in a machine

and his abilities to handle it gradual-

13?. A pathetic incident occurred a

year ago when a boy was so mangled

by a tractor that he died. The inci-

dent occurred not far from our home.

He had been driving the family car for

some months. He had driven the trac-

tor a very little. When he started up

the tractor, as near as I can learn, he

became confused, tried jumping from

the machine and. the tractor backed

over his legs.



We all know that farming is as dan-

gerous as railroading, and I am giving

the foregoing instance particularly

that we should bear in mind that boys

should not be rushed into work with





farm machinery and unreliable horses





at any age. Boys should be impressed

that above all they should give atten-

tion to personal safety as well as to

the efficient operation of machinery.

Can Be Had zf T lzese' Practical Suggestion! by County Agent

David W opa’man are Fol/owed





‘ HE past year has been one of

the most unfavorable ones for

some time to secure a good seed-



ing of alfalfa in southern Michigan‘..

in spite of this unfavorable condition,

the men who did their work properly,

and at the right time, succeeded; The

purpose of this article is 'to point out

some of the reasons ,why they were

successful while others failed. ’

Prepare Seed Bed Early.



The first important thing is to pre-

pare the seed bed early and thorough-

ly. The average farmer has a pretty

clear outline in mind of his crop rota-

tion plan for some time in advance. It

is true that very often these plans are

upset, yet on the whole, they are car-

ried out. Also, if we have an idea of

seeding some alfalfa next year, it is

probable that _We know at'this time

just where we will put it. It seems to

be a habit of ours to not prepare for

our wants in advance, yet we may be

fully ‘, aware of them. Figuratively

speaking, too many farmers decide to-

day to sow a field to alfalfa, prepare

and lime the land.tomorrow and sow

the seed day after tomorrow. Almost

always where sufficient time is not tak-

en for thorough preparation, a poor

. seeding is the result. The exception

would be when the land happens to' be

pretty well supplied with lime natur-

ally, in good state of fertility and plen-

ty of moisture. Our suggestion is that

the ground he plowed and well limed

this fall. This may be done any time

before it freezes up. it will take just

as long to plow and lime the land at

one time as another, therefore do it at

the time it will pay you best; that will

be this fall. _



Use Plenty of Lime.



‘ Use the maximum rather than the

minimum amount of lime. We would

say that usually two tons per acre

would be the minimum amount, if lime

is needed at all. Probably there are

few sections in Michigan where lime

is not absolutely necessary to get a.

seeding of alfalfa. (This is also fast

becoming true with cloverand other

legumes). It is not safe to predict

the maximum amount of lime that

could be profitably applied. This would

depend somewhat upon the nature of

the soil as well as its previous history.

It is reasonable to say that this maxi-

mum amount that could be applied

with profit is seldom used by most of

us. On the Notre Dame University

farm, Brother Leo, the farm manager,

uses six and seven tons per acre.

Some of the finest alfalfa in Indiana

‘is grown.on this farm. Certainly it

pays them to use these relatively large

applications. We .do not say that it

will payevery Michigan farmer to use

this much lime per acre for alfalfa; we

dosay, newever, that it will usually

pay him to use more than he does.





Another point about liming for alfal-

fa: , Get it. on the land a considerable

time in advance of the seeding of the

crop. 'Lime is slower to dissolveand

get into action than we have been led

to believe. _It takes moisture and rplen-



. ty of it to dissolve lime." That’is the

reason why we .suggested,_plowing the

ground and getting the new on this

good shape for seeding next spring and

summer.

Sow Godd Seed.



The best seed obtainable is none too

good. There is probably no question

but what Cossack and Grimm are the

two best varieties to be had. \From

some experiments recently made, we

believe that Cossack is superior to the

Grimm. It is true that if everyone

wanted to sow seed of these varieties,

there would not be enough to go

around. However, we Michigan grow-

ers want to get it if we can. Let the

farmers farther south sow the less

hardy strains. Many a failure is due

to common and imported seed. Pay

the price for the good seed; it will

more than reimburse you the first year.



About one hundred farmers in Gass

county are buying their seed now for

next year’s seeding. This seed is of

the Cossack variety and is purchased

direct from the growers in South Da—

kota“ They are not only effecting a

saving of $15 per bushel but they are

getting new seed, Dakota grown, free

from noxious weeds and guaranteed

pure Cossack. The size of this order

is one hundred and thirty-three bush-

This will be suflicient to seed

about one thousand acres. We believe

farmers in‘ other counties in the state

can do the same. This is done through

the County Farm Bureau.



Time of Sowing.



Everything being considered, we be-

lieve that the ‘best time to sow the

alfalfa is from the middle of May to

the latter part of June. These dates

are given assuming that the seed bed

will be prepared either in the fall or

the first thing in the spring. Occasion-





ally a small grain crop will be sown .





with the alfalfa. This is probably not

advisable the first time alfalfa is grown

on the land. But if alfalfa has been

grown on the land and the lime con-

tent and fertility' are kept up, it‘ is us-

ually safe to seed with the small grain

crop the same as you would seed clo-

ver with it. When the land is not. pre-

pared until May or June, it is not usu-

ally possible to seed it beforecAugust.

There are always risks attendant with

this late seeding that are not present

with the earlier dates. ,



Three of the main reasons for fairly

early seeding of alfalfa are these:

Lees danger from dry, hot weather;

less danger of damage from insects

and a better growth to go into the first

winter. _We seldom get a severe

drought before July. Alfalfa sown in

May and June will'usually start evenly

and quickly because of a good supply

of moisture. This last year we have

suffered considerable damage from the

ravages of the garden webworm. This

pest will usually ‘do no great damage

before August. If alfalfa is sown be-

fore thelast of June, it will be large

enough to withstand the attack of this

worm, provided’it is present. We have

seen several hundred acres of new

seedings, plants from one to two inch-

es high, cleaned up by the worm this

year. Preventive measures are bet-

this land, with no building: on. what.

ever, is selling for $50 per acre. Even

sandhlll land which in point of value

would rank with jackpine land in Mich-

igan. is selling for five dollars per acre.

There is no good cheap land any long-

er and the Michigan farmers who ex-

.pect to buy cheap “farms out west will

be disappointed. To see the “stabbing

in” wheat in Kansas looks like slip-

shod farming. Heavy weighted disc

drills are used and some effort made

to make the drill row between the

stubble rows of the preceding wheat





' crop. The stubble is disturbed as lit-





tle as possible so as to hold not only

the snow and moisture but the soil 1..-

selt. If one were not enlightened on

Kansas methods he might assume no

crop for this season has been planted,

so dense is the st’ubble. Miles and

miles of wheat have been stubbled in

with the rows of unthreshed header

stacks still in these fields. Where the





.' grain has been out with the binder

shocks are still standing and While





Weather-stained on the outside the

newly threshcd straw stacks are all

apparently bright. The carpet of green





.around the unthreshod header stacks





is evidence of waste but the loss is

after all not large.





The method of continuous cropping

has been going on for from seven to

twelve years and with a good crop

about four years out of five. This

wheat area is too dry for corn but con-

siderable of kaflir corn or mllo maize

is planted. These . non~saccharine

sorghums will withstand dry weather

which is fatal to the lndian corn. Kaf-

fir makes splendid chicken feed, and

might have a place on the very light

soils of southwestern Michigan. Sev-

eral years ago some portions of this

semi-arid wheat section was literally

blown away by wind storms. Extra

help had to be provided by the rail-

roads for their section men tp shovel

windmws or drifts of sand off the

track. To leave a plowed field without

crop protection is some peril. This in-

formation enlightens one on the adap-

tability of the farmei’s to meet} local

conditions and why wheat is stubbled

in, and alfalfa sods maintained.





At Limon, Colorado, which is of the

same general land character. except

not so well adapted to wheat, pota-

toes were being marketed. that is haul-

ed direct to the car. and were bringing

$1.45 per bushel. The western potato

grower is not so wedded to the Rural

type as is the case in Michigan, but

includes red in his color scheme of

potato production.

tural days. was a. miller. in the field of

calamltous howling as compared to his

successors who are complaining of

their low salaries as compared to the

prices they have to pay. These latter

day populists. whoée forbears poked

fun at the farmer. Economic natives

of 'the early nineties are most clamor-

ous for the government to do some-

thing to bring down prices, but draw

the line. at becoming food producers

themselves. One of the really danger-

ous conditions of the present time is

the failure of the consumer to. under.

stand that cheap food is an economic

impossibility. “There is an addition to

some inequity between salaries and

living.costs, a good deal of hypocrisy

in wanting current wages or prices for

ourselves and the former prices and

wages for what we buy, and applied

to the other fellow who serves us. In

traveling one meets and feels a genu-

ine appreciation for the returning sol-

diers, including officers, position in

matters of prices. The low pay and

high cost to officers for subsistence





and maintenance of rank has left these-





men poorly provided for, especially

officers with families. Proper provis-

ion for these men would be for the

state or nation to pay them Wages at

least equal to civilian workers who

staid at home.



Sheep men are standing fairly pat

on prices for lambs, both for feeding

and for immediate slaughter, and pric—

es have not gone off like hogs or cat-

tle. It will take some time to increase

breeding flocks to the danger point of

prices because of restricted ranges 'in

the west and the growth of dalrying

in the east. High- -priced corn land in

the middle west does not lend itself

to sheep husbandry. For these reasons

the future of the mutton and woolen

industry is very favorable. To see a

sheep grower following the cotton mar-

ket in the daily papers is not without

significance. For when cotton is sell-

ing at from thirty-four to thirty-six

cents. wool is not high at sixty-three to

sixty-seven cents. Wool could go to

one dollar per pound and still not be

out or linewith cotton. either meas-

ured by pre-war prices or by cost of

production. The cotton grower, how-

ever. comes back with the claim that

the increased labor cost of growing

cotton is proportionately more than

the labor required in wool growing All

in all, some more sheep on Michigan

farms looks like a. good investment.

A FeW Hundred Yards May





Cost 10,000 Miles





MAN ith a new car had



one of h tires blow out. He

didn’t have a spare, so he decided

to run a few hundred yards to a

friend’s house. When he got there

\he discovered that neither the

tire nor the tube was worth re-

pairing, for running on the rim

had fractured the casing fabric.

And the tube was riddled with

holes' caused by being pinched

against the rim. Those few hun-

dred yards of running on therim

probably cost him 10,000 miles—





miles that could have been saved





by properly caring for the tube.

Proper care of tubes saves miles

in many other ways—not only in

emergencies, but all the time. Ask

your Goodyear Service Station, or

write to Akron, for Lesson 5 of the

Goodyear Conservation Course—

telling how to increase tire mile-

ages by proper care of tubes.





 





Repairing a tube with the Goodyear

Tube Repair Kit





ROPER care of tubes in-

creases by thousands of

miles the life of even the best

of tires. For whenever a tube

fails, the casing is seriously





damaged by being run fiat.





Onlyva few hundred yards of





e such running may utterly spoil





the tire; and even if the tube

merely has a slow leak the tire

will suffer the inevitable injuries

due to under-inflation.





Take care of your tubes, if you

wish to get the most from your

tires.





Tubes inserted in the casing

without being properly talced,

either stick to the casing and

tear because of the lack of

French Talc or———when too

much of this lubricant is used—-—

they are injured because the

tale collects in puddles and

hardens.





Tubes must be properly in-

serted in the casing; otherwise

they will be pinched against the

rim, or—if the valve stem is at

an angle—they may be torn.





Lesson 5 of the Goodyear Con-

servation Course gives simple

but detailed directions for mak-

ing your tubes serve your tires.





It also tells how tubes can be

repaired permanently and in a

few minutes with the Goodyear

Tube Repair Kit.





Ask your Goodyear Service

Station to show you one—and

ask also for the other lessons

of the Goodyear Conservation

Course.

Is One as Good

as Another?

THERE are questions of economy and



finance to be considered in the con-

templated purchase of a tractor plowing outfit, and

these questions cannot always be properly settled

in advance—unless the decision is on

known quality and tested reputation.



For they are not all alike—one outfit is not

necessarily “as good as another", and the one

too-often—made mistake is the careless purchase of.

an outfit that is not as good as it should be.



The Titan lO-ZO tractor and the Peel Little

Genius tractor plow form the ideal combination —-

the one best one—man outfit -—the one outfit that

will figure the highest percentage, that will pay

back dollar per dollar plus—- the most talked-of

tractor plow combination on the mar (St.



The Titan and the Little Genius are built for

each other, by the International Harvester Come-

pany, sold by International dealers, and backecl by

International service — a service which is depend-

necessary to put up with the delays

Simplicity Servi’ce Clubs are or-

ganized to give farmers complete

farm power service—the use of power

machinery which you have had to do

without entirely or hire at a sacrifice

You need only to own a Ford car

to have these advantages—this with

a Simplicity Power Plant, a mechani-

a most reliable guaranteed power

plant capable of running any machine

requiring up to 15 Horse Power.





It means for less than one hundred

CONDUCTth BY DR. W. C. FAIR.





 





Irritation of Nerves. —I have a nino- '





year-old Percheron mare that first com-

menced to favor one hind leg some

time later showed same symptoms in

the other leg. When walking she show-

ed straddling gait, tired quickly, but

worked fairly well. Occasionally she

acted nervous, perspired too freely,

lifted hind feet high, as if suffering

from stringhalt, but these spells last

for only a short time, then she works

all right. When moving from side to

side in stall, she jerks up hind legs.

I raised this mare and she has never

been abused or overworked. D.



Montague, Mich—Give her '1 dr fl





extract of nux vomica, and 1/2 oz of





Fowler’s solution at a dose in feed 01'

drinking water two or three times a

day. Her ailment is chronic and her

permanent recmery doubtful. .



Infected Udder—Sub-acute Vaginitis

in Sow.——l have a. cow that came fresh

May 8.





which is recornmended for such ail-

ment, but it failed to do any good.

This quarter of bag occasionally swells

and cakes, milk comes with chunks in

it. The calf sucked her night and

morning until it was five weeks old.

Have a sow that has vaginal discharge

and a poor appetite. She has always

dribbled urine and I have thought she

had kidney disease. W. . B., Ran-

somville, N. Y. Apply one part iodiin

and nine parts fresh lard to hardened





portion of udder three timesa week.





Give her one teaspoonful of hyposul-

phite of soda in feed once daily. Your

sow is incurable, therefore she should

be fatted for market.





Teal; Stricture—Choking—I had a

grade Jersey cow four years old which

had first calf about first of July. She

Was a hard milker. I asked the Vet.

to open stricture, but he thought it

bad practice and it was not done. I

let calf with cow, it thrived, but later

cow’s throat and neck swelled, but the

Vet. failed to tell what ailed it. Af-

ter a time the cow refused to either

eat or drink and finally died. One day

later I opened throat and neck, found

little lumps in gullet and throat, but

none in lungs. J. McC., Dafter, Mich.

-——The writer is inclined to believe that

your cow died as the result of starva—

tion, caused by a. diseased condition of

throat and gullet. Teat stricture is





.best treated by opening teat canal on





four sides, using a concealed teat slit-

ter an instiument made for doing this

operation. It is seldom necessary to

cut high up in teat. Be sure that your

instrument is clean' before using it.

Sore Th10at.——I recently purchased





three rabbits which had been fed oats , I

and dry clever before I got them.





Since then fed them some oats, both

green and dry clover, with plenty of

green vegetables, besides they had

good fresh water to drink. I had them

about two weeks when one died, the

others died a week later. They were

sick two days; before they died the

hair under throat was wet. G. F.,

Rochester, Mich—Your rabbits died

as the result of diphtheritlc sore throat

which is a fatal ailment in young rah

bits and kittens. Clean and disinfect

your kennel. I do not believe the food

supply had anything to do with their

death.



Strained Leg—I have a seven-year.

01d mare who laid down in the stall

with her harness on and got fast.

When I went to the barn she was up,

but standing on three' legs and there

was a large swelling on the hack joint

of one leg.





applied blisters, also other commercial





remedies, but none of them seem to .





have done the leg much good. She is

lame and it bothers her to lie down

and get up. R. A. 0., Lansing. Mich.

—~Your mare should have rest; the

swollen joint should be hand-rubbed





three times a day; also apply equal.





parts of tincture of iodine and cam-

phorated- oil after each rubbing. Give





"her a. teaspoonful of acetate of potash





at a dose once daily. This medicine

can either be mixed in feed or given

in drinking water. ‘ .



Loss of Vision. ——Some of my sheep

are gomg blind. Will you kindly pre-

scribe me a. remedy for the ailment?

My sheep are all yOung. A. E. McG..

Lachine, Mich—Blow one part calomel

and four parts boric' acid into the sore‘

eyes every day or two. The sore-eyed

sheep should be kept in shaded place,

as a bright light always irritates a

sore eye. Feed them food of a 1323a,,

She milked well until middle}

NOTES ON ACTIVITIES OF’MIOHI-

‘ . GAN POTATO GROWERS’

EXCHANGE. '





Associations organized recently that

have joined the Michigan Potato Grow--

ers’.Exchange are the ‘Howard City

Market Association, the Gowen Mar-

ket Association, both of Montcalm

county, and the Sand Lake Coopera-

tive Association of Kent county.



All of these associations have order-

ed their supplies of the Central Ex-

change and are getting ready to load

potatoes and other farm produce to

sell for the farmer members through

the exchange.



The new association at Amble, Mont-

calm county, is getting ready to build

a fine warehouse this winter and is

preparing to handle all business for

the members. They have begun to

ship potatoes and have been compelled

to refuse to let any more farmers join

their association on account of not be-

ing able to handle all of the produce

which a large membership would offer.

Until they get their new warehouse

ready they will have to confine their

membership to the present number.



The new Marion Elevator Company

have taken over the local elevator and

are ready to do business. ,The Sand

purchased a

warehouse and are loading out pota-





. toes at the present time.





The Rose City and West Branch As-

sociation of Ogemaw county are doing

a large” amount of business'and are

keeping a cream tester busy all of the

time, besides several warehouse men

and the managers. The association

has been able to get the farmer much

higher prices for their eggs and cream

as well as other products. The price

of cream has been raised several cents

to the farmers and in one instance

twenty cents more was obtained for

eggs than the farmers had been re-

ceiving.



The business of the exchange has

increased to such an extent this sea-

son that they had to put on another

salesman to help in the handling of

that department. The new man is a

brother of G. E. Prater, Jr., our sales-

man for the past year. W. A. Prater,

the new salesman, has been for a num-

ber of years handling some large ac-

counts for the North American Fruit

The Potato Growers’ Ex-

'change is very fortunate in being able

to have his able assistance for their

regular salesman.



The product of the Potato Exchange

is moving very rapidly and is being

put upon the market in such good con‘

dition that the buying trade is recog-

nizing the better values than in the

pack of the ordinary buyer.



The movement of apples through the

exchange has been very large this sea.-

son and the prices which the exchange

has been able to return to the growers

has been very satisfactory.—W. C. C.





 





WELL CONTRACT.





Last spring I had a man bore a well

for me at $1.85 per foot. He bored 120





,feet without getting water and quit.





I paid him $100 and have asked him to

Can I hire someone else to finish it

without trouble with the first man?

ADVERTISING STRAYS.





 





October 20 four calves came to my

place and are still there. I have ads

vcrtised in a local paper but the owner

does not show up. How long do I have

to keep them before I can dispose of

them ?—Subscriber.





In cases of this sort the statute must

be followed in every detail and it is

not good business for a person to at-

tempt to do it who is not an attorney

or without the aid of an attorney—R.





 





FARM SOLD ON CONTRACT.





 





I have sold my farm on contract and

the man refuses to pay any more. I

should like to know how long he can

hold possession and what proceedings

are necessary—Subscriber.





It is first necessary to serve written

notice of forfeiture for failure to keep

up the contract. Then it is necessary

to make out a summons from the cir-

cuit court commissioner returnable not

Hess than three, nor more than six days

from the date and served at least two

days before the time for appearance,

upon which date the commissioner.

will hear the case or adjourn it, and

upon the hearing give such judgment

as the facts may require. If hc‘awards

judgment of restitution no writ of res-

titution can be had until thirty days

after the jhdgment is rendered. If the

purchaser pays the amount and cost

within the thirty days no recovery can

'be bad. If the amount found due is

not paid within the thirty days, then a

writ of restitution issues and puts the

seller into possession again—R.





 





CAPACITY OF SILOS.





 





Please give me the number of tons

of ensilage in a silo 10:30 feet, that is,

how many tons per foot, and the price

per ton for corn silage. _

Kent Co. ’ E. F. R.





From careful experiments made, it

is estimated that a cubic foot of well

settled silage will weigh on the aver-

”age about forty pounds, so you can de-

termine the number of cubic feet in

your silo and then multiply by forty,

which will give you the weight of sil-

age in pounds.



There is practically no market price

for silage as it is a product that is

rarely bought and sold. The only thing

we can do is to estimate its food value

as compared with other foods in .the

same proportion of food nutrients.

Careful experiments show that. three

tons of silage is worth as much as one

ton of timothy hay. Consequently if

Vtimothy hay is worth $27 a fon, good

corn silage should be worth $9 a ton.

SUGAR BEET CONTRACT.





 





I entered into a contract to grow





put in the beets and called up the com-

pany several times and they promised

they would come but did not. Finally,

they sent some men who stayed a few

hours and left. I never saw any more

of them. I am out at least $300. Have

I any remedy?—H. C.



The printed contract form enclosed





provides that the grower shall take

care of the crop and that no agent of

the company has any authority to

change the terms of the contract

which is signed by the grower and the

company’s agent. Under their printed

contract certainly there is no liability

on the part of the company. If there

is any liability at all it is by virtue of

the subsequent contract made orally.

Whether there was such a contract is

a question of fact and it looks like a'

fair question for a jury. The» subscrib-

er had better see a lawyer.—R.





 





CULTURE OF GRAPES.





 





Will grapes do well on low ground.

well tilled? How old must a grape

vine be to bear? J. W. S.





A well drained clay loam is usually

recommended as the best soil for

grapes but this fruit thrives on a wide

range of .soils from steep sandy hills

to level fields and even river bottom

land. If the soil is well tilled and con-

tains plenty of organic matter the

grapes should succeed very well. If

the ground is not well drained the con—

ditions can be improved with tile.

Planting a vineyard is something like

building a barn. It lasts a long time

and so the best and most satisfactory

site should be selected right at the

start. If a grape vine is strong and

thrifty in its third year of growth from

the cutting, it can bear a cluster of

grapes on each shoot. However, some

growers remove early in the.season

any bunches that develop the third

year and this allows mare strength to

go into the vine to help in the future

production of the fruit. The various

systems used in starting and training

vineyards are interesting and a begin-

ner with grapes will find a special

book on grape culture to be a good in-

vestment.—-—K.

~' rezone tell; ‘me whether." ground {rye





gether and used with cottonseed and

'ensilage be ?——,—Subscriber, ,



’The only way in which ground rye

would have a tendency to dry up cows

is owing to the fact tha‘t_the cows do

not like the rye very well, and they

will "not eat it very readily for any con-

siderable length of time. It is a good

food but it is ,not as palatable as

ground cats or ground wheat. One rea-

son why cows do not relish ground rye

as-they do some other foods, is be-

cause they haven’t been in the habit,

of eating it very much. I think we can

understand this in the case of rye

bread. Very few people like rye bread

as well as wheat bread, especially in

this country, yet I am informed that in

some European countries rye bread is

preferred to wheat bread. This can

only be explained by stating that the

children have formed a habit for the

rye bread and they learn to like .it.

It certainly is a good food, but person-

ally I would prefer wheat bread. I

take it it is the same with cows fed

ground rye. However, if you mix the

ground r'ye with ground oats and then

feed cottonseed meal in addition you

can make a splendid ration to feed

with ensilage. Mix the rye and oats

equal parts by weight, and then I

would feed the cottonseed meal sep-

arately or else be careful in mixing it

thorbughly or you are liable to feed too

much cottonseed meal. I would prefer

to feed cottonseed meal separately and

not feed over two pounds a day to each

cow, then in addition feed enough of

the ground rye and ground oats so

that each cow will receive a pound of

grain for every three or four pounds of

milk she produces in a. day, or feed

a pound of grain for every pound of

butterfat she produces in a week. Sup-

pose a cow produces ten pounds of but-

terfat in a week, then she should have

eight pounds of ground rye and ground

oats and two pounds of cottonseed

meal daily. _ C. C. L.





 





COTTAGE CHEESE AND ITS

VALUE. ,'





What are the methods of making

cottage cheese. What is its value as

a meat substitute? What part fats,

carbonaceous, etc.? What is the food

value of whey?



Cass Co. ' L. C.





The making of cottage cheese for

family use is quite a. simple process.

Let the milk stand until it sours and

becomes lobbard, then heat the milk

gradually to eighty or eighty-five de-

grees. Don’t let it get too hot, be-

cause this makes a dry hard curd.

In heating the milk the curd separates

from the whey. Now drain off the

whey by putting it in a cheesecloth

bag, then the curd can be worked

with a ladle or your hands into balls

or any. shape that is desired. It should

be salted to suit the taste. Most peo-

ple, for family use, add sweet cream

and the more cream added the better

the cheese. .



Cottage cheese of course contains

the protein of the milk and is a valu-

able substitute for meat. One can get

along very nicely without meat if they

have plenty of cottage cheese, but one

tires of the same product when used

for any considerable length of time.



aW‘hey has about one-third the feed-

ing value of skimmilk. However, it

is entirely a different product. Skim-

milk contains practically all the pro-

teins of milk while Whey contains lit-

tle or none of it. In feeding skimmilk

one would feed cornmeal or other

food containing fat, and oil, but with

whey one ought to feed oil. meal or

a“ with his daughter beside him

um out oi the room. He could

not may tell Stone to leave while

he was under the core of a doctor. but

it! did not intend-to make him wel-

come. London was a blunt grizzled

old fellow who said what he thought

even about the notorious Boapy Stone.



“We’ll pull our freights right sway.

Only." Stone announced as soon as

his host had gone.



The young man went to the stable

and saddled Keno. While he was tight-

ening the cinch a shadow fell across

his shoulder. He did net need to look

round to see whose it was.



“I’m so glad you’re going to the

horse ranch. 'You will look out for

Sam. I trust you. I don’t know why,

but I have the greatest confidence in

you," the owner of the shadow explain-

ed sweetly.



Curly smiled blandly over his shoul-

der at her. “Fine! That's a good up-

lifting line of talk. Miss Laura. Now

will you please explain why you’re

feeding me this particular bunch of

tally? What is it I'm to do for you?"



She blushed and laughed at the

some time. Her hand came from be-

hind her back. In it was a letter.



“But I do mean it, every word of it.”



“That’s to be my pay for giving

Mister Sam his billy doc, is it?”



“How did you guess? It is a letter

to Sam." ’



“How did I guess it?

sure a wlz, don’t it???



She saw her father coming and hand-

ed him the letter quickly.



“Here. Take it.” A spark of mis-

chief lit her eye and the dimples came

out on her cheeks. “Good~by, Curly.”



CHAPTER VII.

Bad Medicine.

HE house at the horse ranch

was a long, low L—shaped adobe

structure. The first impression

Curly received was that of negligence.

In places the roof sagged. A door in

the rear hung from one hinge. More

than one broken pans of glass was

stuffed with paper. The same evidence

of Bhiftlessness could be seen on every

hand. Fences had collapsed and been

repaired flimslly. The woodwork of

the well was rotting. The windmill

wheezed and did its work languid];

for lack of oil.



Two men were seated on the porch

playing seven-up. One was Bad Bill,

the other Blackwell. At sight of Early

they gave up their game.



» “Hello, kid! Where did you drop

from?" Cranston asked.



A muscle twitched in Flandrau’s

cheek. “They got Mac.”



“Got him! Where? At Saguache?”



“Ran us down near the Circle C.

Mac opened fire. They—killed him.”



“Shot him, or-?” Curly was left to

guess the other half of the question.



“Shot him, and took me prisoner."



“They couldn’t prove a thing, could

they?“



__ “They could prove I wounded Culli-

son. That was enough for them. They

set out to hang me. Later they chang-

ed their minds.”



“How come you here?

03199?”



, "Nope. Friends dug up hail.”



Cranston did not ask what friends.

- He thought he knew. Alec Flandrsu,

"anunolo of Curly, owned a half inter-

, est in the Map of Texas ranch. No

‘d‘ogbt ho had come to the aid of the

reckon we better not say anything

about my mixup‘ with his folks. I’m

not looking for any trouble with him."



“All right, Curly. That goes with

me. How about you. Blackwell?"



“Sure. What Sam don’t know won’t

hurt him."



Curly sat down on the porch and

told an edited story of his adventures

to them. Before he had finished a

young follow rode up and dismounted.

He had a bag of quail with him which

he handed over to the Mexican cook.

After he had unsaddled and turned his

pony into a corral he joined the card

players on the porch.



By unanimous consent the game was

changed to poker. Young Cullison had

the chair next to Flandrau. He had,

so Curly thought, a strong family re-





 





He was the Maddest Man in Arizona





semblance to his father and Sister.

“His eye jumps straight at you and

asks its questions right off the reel,”

the newcomer thought. Still a boy in

his ways, he might any day receive

the jolt that would transform him into

a man.



The cook’s “Come and get it” broke

up the game for a time. They trooped

to supper, where for half an hour they

discussed without words fried quail,

cornbread and coffee. Such conversa-

tion as there was held strictly to nec-

essary lines and had to do with the

transportation of edibles.



Supper over, they smoked till the

table was cleared. Then‘coats were

removed and they sat down to the ser-

ious business of an all night session of

draw. .



Curly was not playing to win money

so much as to study the characters of

those present. Bill he already knew

fairly well as a tough nut to crack,

game to the core, and staunch to his

friends. Blackwell was a bad lot,

treacherous, vindictive, slipperytas an

eel. Even his confederates did not

trust him greatly. But it was Soapy

Stone and young Cullison that inter-

ested Flandrau most. The former play‘

ed like a master. He chatted careless-

IY- but be overlooked no points. Sam

had the qualities that go to make a

brilliant erratic player, but he lacked

the steadiness and the finesse of the

veteran.



The last play before they broke up

in the gray dawn was a flashlight on

Stone’s cool audacity. The limit had





long since been taken off. Blackwell





land Stone had been, the winners of the

nighusndtberosthadsillostmme

or less.



Curly was dealing. Crusted Open-

ed the I501;



“She's cracked.” he announced.



Blackwell. sitting next to him. had

been waiting his turn with palpable

eagerness. “Got to boost her, boys, to

protect Bill,” be explained as his raise

went in.



Sam, who had drunk more than was

good for him, raised in his turn. “Kick

her again, gentlemen. Me, I'm plumb

tired of that little song of mine, ‘GOOd

hereI'”



Stone stayed. Curly did not come in.



Cranston showed his openers and

laid down his hand. .Blackwell hesi-

tated. then raised agam.



“Reckon I’m content to trail along,”

Cullison admitted, pushing in the nec-

essary chips. ,



Soapy raised his stubby chin, looked

sideways at Sam and then at Black-

well, and abruptly shoved in chips

enough to call the raise.



“Cards ?” asked Curly.



“I’ll play these," Blackwell said.



Sam called for two and Stone one.



Blackwell raised. Sam, grumbling,

stayed.



”Might as well see what you’ve got

when I’ve gone this far," he gave as a

reason for throwing good money after





‘ bad.





Soapy took one glance at his new

card and came in with a raise.



Blackwell slammed his fist down on

the table. “Just my rotten. luck. You

have filled.” ‘



Stone smiled, then dropped his eyes

to his cards. Suddenly he started.

What had happened was plain. He

had misread his hand. .



With a cheerful laugh Blackwell

raised in his turn.



“Let’s me out," Sam said.



For about a tenth of a second one

could see triumph ride in Soapy’s eyes.

“Different here," he eXplained in a.

quiet businesslike way. All his chips

were pushed forward to the center at

the table.



On Blackwell’s face were mapped his

thoughts. Curly saw his stodgy mind

working on the problem, studying help-

lessly the poker eyes‘ of his easy placid

enemy. Was: Soapy blumng? 0r had

be halted a hook for him to sWallow?

The faintest glimmer of "amusement

drifted across the face of Stone. He

might have been a general whose plans

have worked out to suit him, waiting

confidently for certain victory. The

longer the convict looked at him the

surer he was that he had been trapped.



With an oath he laid down his hand.

“You’ve got me beat. Mine is only a.

jack high straight.”



Stone put down his cards and reacb‘

ed for the pot.



Curly laughed.



Blackwell whirled or; him. \



“What’s so condemned funny?”



“The things I notice.”



“Meaning?”



“That I wouldn’t have laid down my

hand. ”



“Betcher ten plunks he had me

beat.”



“You're on.” Curly turned to Soapy.



“Object to us seeing your hand?"

4 Stone was counting his chips. He

smiled. “It ain’t poker. but go ahead.

Satisfy yourselves.”



“You turn the cards,” Flandrau said.



A king diamonds showed first, then





 





a till-syn and a. Mot of the same

suit.



“A M" united Well. .



“I’ve got just one more ten left. but

it says you're m.”



The words were not out of Curly's

month before the other had taken the

bet. Sonny looked at Flsndrnu with

new interest. Perhaps this boy was

not such a youth as he had at first

seemed. ‘ ' ‘



The fourth card turned Was a. king

of hearts, the last a six of spades





Stone had two pair to go on and had ,





not battered at the draw.



Blackwell tossed down two bills and

went away furious.



That night was like a good many

that followed. Sam was at an impres-

sionable age, inclined to be led by any

man whom he admired. Curly knew

that he' could gain no influence over

him by preaching. He had to live the

rough-and-tumble life of these men

who dwelt beyond the pale of the law,

to excel them at the ver'y things of

which they boasted. But in one re-

spect he held himself apart. While he

was at the horse ranch he did not

touch a drop of liquor.



Laura London’s letter was not deliv-

ered until the second day, for, though

she had not told her moosenger to give

it to Sam when he was alone, Curly

guessed this would be better. The two

young men had ridden down to Big

Tree spring to get quail for supper.



“Letter for you from a young lady,”

Flandrau said, and handed it to young



C.ullison



Sam did not read his note at once,

but put it in his pocket carelessly, as

if it had been an advertisement._ They

lay down in the bushes about twenty

yards apart, close to the hole where





the birds flew,every evening tq water]





Hidden by the mesquite, Sam ran over

his letter two or three times while he

was waiting. It was such a message

as any brave-hearted, impulsive girl

might send to the man she loved when





. he seemed to her to walk in danger.





Cullison loved her for the interest she

took in him, even while he ridiculed

her fears. ,



Presently the quails came by hun-

dreds on a bee-line for the water hole.

They shot as many as they needed,

but no more, for neither of them cared

to kill for pleasure. '



As they rode back to the ranch. Cur-

ly mentioned that he had- seen Sam’s

people a day or two before.



Culllson asked no questions, but he

listened lntently while the other told

the story of’his first rustling and of

how Miss Kate and her father had

stood by him in his trouble. The dusk

was settling over the bills by this time

so that they could not see each o'th~

er’s faces clearly.



"If I had folks like you have, the salt

of the earth, and they were worrying

their hearts out about me, seems to

me I'd quit hanging around and go

back to them." Curly concluded.



“‘The old man sent you to tell me

that, did he?" Hard ‘and bitter came

the voice of the young man odt of the

growing darkness. .



“No, he didn’t. He doesn’t know I

am here. But he and your sister have

done more for me than I ever can pay.

That’s why I’m telling you this." ‘



Sam answered gruffly. as a man does



when he is moved. “Much obliged,

Curly. but I reckon I can look out for

myself.”

‘ “Justwhat I thought, and in Septem-

ber I have to go to the penitentiary.

Now I have mortgaged it away, my lib-

erty seems anul good to me. ” .



‘Tou’ll got off likely," " '

K-W equipped tractors have been increasing crop production

and lowering crop costs.

1 Keep in mind when buying a tractor that upon the ignition

system depends the performance of the motor, and no engine, however

perfect, can deliver its maximum power UNLESS the spark from the

magneto is hot enough to produce INSTANT and COMPLETE com-

bustion of the carbureted gas within the c linder.



K-W Magnetos are desi ed FOR T CTORS and have made

their reputation for reliability N TRACTOR SERVICE all over the

of motion picture Scenarios, but which

has its foundation in hard and indis-

putable fact.



Once upon a time—for all good stor-

ies for which no exact date can be as-

of course” begin in

such wise, according to all rules of the

story writer’s order, a great herd of

mastodon grazed away in the" prehis-

toric swamps about what is, today, the

almost forgotten hamlet of Big Bone,

in Kentucky. These mammoth were

the very kings of' creation of their

times; they tramped the hills and fed

in the dales; they tore down any mon-

ster oak so rash as to stand in their

way; they trampled the wher-wolf and

the fox and the catamount and any

other animal so unwise as to come up-

on them, bent on mischief. The mas-

todon, like the elephant—his remote

descendant, it is believed—was a gre-

garious chap, who traveled. in herds;

and not alone was one mastodon very

near invincible to the living world of

his time, but a herd of the creatures

might go where they would, like so

many dreadnaughts, in .their forest

lairs.



All of which is, of course, very fa-

miliar, indeed, to even the most pre-

cursory student of natural history. On-

ly, what is not quite so well known,

even to the scientists who specialize

in these larger, vanished forms—for

some reason or other that Big Bone

herd, masters of the wilderness though

they were, suddenly took fright before

something they knew, by long race‘

experience, to be more powerful than

they; 'they forgot the cunning and cau-

Not to speculate on the matter need- .





lessly, other remains in that locality

make it almost: absolutely sure that

the giant beasts-were driven to death

by some little band of primitive men;

and since man alone would have slip-

Kentucky.





Horses were not known on the west-

ern continent until Spaniards brought;

their steeds, and some of these, escap«

ing to the wilderness, sired the giant

herds of wild horses for which Ameri-

ca later became renowned.



One might suppose so, were it not:

for the fact that in direct juxtaposition

with the bones of the mammoth or

mastodon, there have been found, with-

in easy loping distance of what is now

Big Bone and the land of the Kentucky

thoroughbred, the remains of the pre-

historic horse. Other such remains,

too, have been found over America, at

points quite distant.



Man, therefore, knew the horse, and

man, it appears, used the horSe, away

When not just so inclined.



It is really little more than a matter

of a decade and a half ago, at Hyde

Park, now a fashionable suburb of the

Queen of the West, but then still a

rather rural bit of country, that some

\: workmen were given the task of sink-

ing the shafts for two cisterns in the

garden of a Mr. Shaw, agentleman

. farmer, whose place lay along the high

road through the section. .



Reaching a depth of twenty-two feet,

the borers came upon what .was, to

them, an unfamiliar object. Stopping

operations and investigating, they

found this to be a' bone, but of most

gigantic size. Looking closely round

about, they found more such bones, of

equally great proportions, round about

it. Save for a few scattered fragments

lying helter-skelter between, these

bones were also so very big that even

these laymen to the nature-students’

art felt sure they could not'have be-

longed to any creature then existent.





Clinching their conclusion on this

point was the further fact that the

bones of no animal of modern times

\ would be found in such virgin soil, full

‘ twenty-two feet beneath the earth’s

surface. .



The men advised the Shaw family

at once and these folk, people of edu-

, cation, who understood the scientific

value of such a find, at once ordered

further halt on the cistern bores until

Professor Hayes, then Curator of the

local Natural History Society, could

take charge of all such remains in the

‘way. The bones, what was more, were

of shellac, which will preserve them

from crumbling for all .time.



Before the entire field of bones was

exploited, though, a hole ten feet

square, had been cut and every ounce

of ' earth in this carefully searched.

This space, however, ,seemed to mark

the limits of the treasure trove, and no

further 'efforts toward excavation were

then made.



Many and varied and undoubtedly

interesting were the theories advanced

by lookers-on, but science very soon

adduced things of still greater interest.

for, it takes no great stretch .of the

reasoning for the scientist to believe

that the peOples of early America and

early Asia were one and the same and

that, doubtless, they crossed at Beh-

ring Strait when an Isthmus existed

there. This was away back in the Pli-

ocene Period. Not only' do the mounds

serve to show this, but the Asiatic el‘

ephant is, after all, simply a. diminu-

tive replica of the mammoth and mas-

todon found in Siberia, and, again,

down in Kentucky, quite close. to

where the Shaw mammoth was found.

Spaniards had sent their descendants

that the early horse was close akin to

“Investigations in comparative ana-

and became fitted for the habitation of

herbiverous animals belonging to the

animals. The remains, though, of the

earliest known animals to which it is

possible to trace the modern horse by

od; these spread over considerable

fallknocked the breath out of him.



“Had enough?” demanded Curly.



For answer Blackwell bit his thumb

savagely. ‘



“‘S-nce you like it so well, have an-

other taste.” Curly, now thoroughly

angry. sent a short-arm jolt to the

mouth.



The man underneath tried to throw

him off, but Flandrau’s fingers found

his hairy throat and tightened.



“You’re killing me,” the convict

gasped.



“Enough?”



“Y-yes.”



Curly stepped back quickly, ready

either for a knife or gunplay. ‘Black—

well got to his feet, and glared at him.



“A man is like a watermelon; you

can’t most generally tell how good he

is till you thump him,” Sam chuckled.



Cranston laughed. “Curly was not

so ripe for picking as you figured,

Lute. If you’d askedvme, I could a-told

you to put in yore spare time letting

him alone. But a fellow has~ to buy his

own experience.”



The victor offered his hand to Black-

well. “I had a little luck. We’ll call

it quits if you say so."



“I stumbled over the step," the beat-

en mau snarled. .



“Sure. I had all the luck.”



“Looked to me like you were making

yore own luck, kid,” Bad Bill differed.



The paroled convict went into the

house, swearingito get even. His face

was livid with fury.



“You wouldn’t think a little thing

like a whaling given fair and square

would make a man hold a grudge. My

system has absorbed se-ve-real~ without

doing it any harm.” Sam stooped to

inspect a. rapidly discoloring eye. “Say

Curly, he hunga peach of a lamp on1

you.” .



Soapy made no comment in words,

but he looked at Flandrau with a new

respect. For the first time a doubt as,

to the wisdom of letting him stay at

the ranch crossed his mind.





 





His suspicion was justified. Curly .





had been living on the edge of a secret

for weeks. Mystery was in the air.’

More than once he had turned a cor-

ner to find the other four whispering

over something. The group had disin-

tegrated at once with a casual indiffer-

ence that did not deceive. Occasional-

ly a man had ridden into the yard late:

at night for private talk with Stone,

and Curly was morally certain that the

man was the. little cow—puncher Dutch

of the Circle C.



Through it all Curly wore a manner

of open confidence. The furtive whis~

perings did not appear to arouse his

curiosity, nor did he intercept any of

the knowing looks that sometimes





were exchanged. But all the time hisl '





brain was busy with questions. What

were they up to? What was it they

had planned?



Stone and Blackwell rode away one

morning. To Curly the word was giv-

en that they were going to Mesa. Four

days later Soapy returned alon'e. Lute

had found a job, he said.



“That a paper sticking out of your‘

pocket?” Flandrau asked. ' '



Soapy, still astride his horse, tossed

the Saguabhe Sentinel to him as. he

turned toward the stable.



“Lie number one nail-ed,” Curiy said‘

to himself. “How came hepwith a}

HE taking of animals in traps

and snares is a fascinating sport

as well as a profitable trade, and

the practice is as old as man himself.

It is not necessary to go into the

wilds to trap the valuable fur bearers.

While many animals have disappeared

with the settlement of the country, the





mink has increased in numbers in cer-

tain localities.





Mink fur is among the most valuable

taken, becoming prime in November

and beginning to fade in March. The

animals are very shy and difficult to

trap, but one prime skin will reward

the trapper for many long tramps. The

wary little animal feeds on eggs, fish,

frogs, mice, birds, rabbits and young

chickens when he can get them. His

varied bill of fare and the fact that

he is usually found along the banks of

streams and ponds, will suggest meth-

ods of trapping. .



The No. 1 or No. 1%; steel trap will

be found most satisfactory for taking

mink, though experienced trappers

sometimes use homemade deadfall

with success.

the larger-sized trap lies in the fact

that a. ’coon or a fox may be caught in

one when set for a mink.





The web-jaw trap, which effectually

prevents the trapped animal from

gnawing off a foot and making its es-

cape is to be preferred over the regu-

lar style, and another great improve-

ment is the “jump” trap. Instead of

having the long bow spring as in the

other styles, it has a short spring lo-

cated inside of the jaws and under the

pan, attached to one end of the bed

plate. This trap is strong, and takes

up little room, either when set or

sprung. If trap chains are fastened

securely to heavy drags or clogs in-

stead of being staked, the animal will

not be so likely to escape, since it can-

not make a straight pull, and will take

the drag only a short distance from

Where it is caught.



It will be advisable to spy out in

advance the territory over which you

intend to trap, looking for signs, the

direction of water courses, or prepa'r-

ing places to make sets. Possibly as

many mink are taken in “blind” sets

as where bait is used. A favorite'place

for making such sets is along a pond

or brook where the animals go in

search of frogs and crawfish. Find a.

place where a steep bank comes down

to the water, leaving a narrow strip of

ground at the water’s edge. Scoop out

a. place just large enough to" contain

the trap, and when it is set place a.

piece of moss or other yielding sub-

stance under the pan, and cover with

a. few muddy leaves. If the mink is

forced to take to shallow mater for a

few feet in traversing the shore, set

the trap here, trusting to the muddy

water to hide it. If the strip of ground

is more than a few inches wide, place

a. stone or chunk so that any passing

animal will be forced to go over the

trap. Stake the trap chain in deep

water. Never use a drag when mak-

ing a water set. '



Mink love to pass through a. tile or

a. hollow log, and will cross a stream

on a. fallen tree or a, log. .Traps set

at both ends of such places well cam-

ouflaged are likely to get several mink





before the season is over. No kind of





bait or scent should ales-Be put on a

trap, and, a change of beit’uccaslonally

will keep the animal from associating

The advantage in using





. certain kind of mm master





3’





i n g th C

By H. F. Gn'mteaa’





While some of the more crafty ani-

mals can ,be caught only with blind

sets, others are attracted by bait and

scents. Mink are likely to, go poking





about into every hole under a bank or'





among tree roots. If a. freshly killed

bird, a mouse or a. chicken head is

placed far back in such cavities and a.

well concealed trap set at the opening,

it is likely to catch the animal. Chick-

en feathers and droppings from the

hen roost make an attractive scent,

and should be scattered over the

grohnd where the trap is hidden. If

traps are buried for a little while in

hen manure before they are used, all

odors that might be suspicious to the

mink are destroyed.



Sardines and canned salmon have

proved to be attractive scent baits for

the mink. One of the best scent baits

is made by cutting up an "eel or a fish

into small pieces and letting it stand

in an openjar in warm sunshine for a.

week. The foeted oil which rises to

the top should be strained off and used.



Always when making a set in or

near the water, it would be best for

the trapper to wade in at some dis-

tance frOm the set, and work from the

water. Leave the ground looking nat-

ural after the trap has been placed,

and throw water over anything the

hands may have touched. All surplus

mud or earth that has been scooped

out should be thrown into the water.



.The skin of the mink should be

“cased." Cut arOund the hind feet and

slit down the back of the legs to and

around the vent. Peel the skin from

the legs and tail and draw it over the

body. When finally cut loose around

the mouth, the skin will be in .the form

of a long pocket, fur side in. The skin

should now. be fleshed. Slip ‘9, long

tapering board inside, and witha dull'

knife or similar instrument, scrape

downward from the tail toward the

nose till all surplus flesh and fat have

been removed. All trash, burs and

blood clots should be removed from

the fur before this is done.



After being fleshed, the skin should

be stretched over a suitable board.

Nothing has proved more satisfactory

than the plain half-inch board, twenty-

eight inches long, four inches wide at

one end, and tapering -to two and .a

half inches at the other, being well

rounded at the tapering end, and with

the edges rounded. Since the sizes of

minks differ somewhat, it will be well

to have some of the stretchers slightly

smaller. ‘



Slip the skin over this board, the

back on one side and the belly on the

other. Draw it down tightly and tack

the hind feet and tail. A‘lso put a tack

through the nose at the tapering end

of the board. The skin should be well

stretched from one end to, the other,

but not till the fur shows thin. If de-

sired to make it tighter on the board,

slip a long flat strip of wood an inch

wide and a quarter of an inch thick,

rounded on one side, in between‘ the

skin and the board.



Dry the skin in the shade where

there is a free circulation of air, which





‘





usually takes from three days to a.





week. Bale for shipment just as it is,

with the fur side in., The manner in





‘which a skin is stretched and cured





will often change its value by half.

Bum per the White





Rabbit. Plays King





‘By George Edie/ban Wall/l l





Bumper’: Ignorance Exciter Suspicion





SPOTTED TAIL was not pleased





by the rebuff the Old Blind Rabbit .





gave him in the presence of the

others. In particular he resented it

because Fuzzy Wuzz, who had follow-

ed Bumper’s lead, sided against him,

and seemed to think he was in the

wrong.



Spotted Tail had aspired to the lead-

ership of the'family after Old Blind

Rabbit’s death. In fact, he had been

acting in that capacity for some time

before Bumper appeared, but always

taking his orders from their old blind

leader. 'The sudden elevation of the

white rabbit to the position he coveted

had not improved his temepr.



There were several others who sym-

pathized with Spotted Tail, and the

division in the sentiment offiche bur-

row made Bumper feel uncomfortable.

He was no exception to the rule that

“'uneasy lies the head that wears a

crown," although in, his case it was a

crown in name only, that he wore.



But his first triumph in leading the

pack gave him new courage, and per.

haps a‘little bumptiousness. “All I'sfe

got to do." be reflected, “is touse my

wits. That’s :what. saved me from» Mr.

Crow and'Mjr.‘ Fox.” ‘ l, - ‘

and she taught him many things. For

one, that it was much easier to lead

the young people into new ways than

the old ones. .



But on the other hand Bumper

found that the young rabbits were in-

clined to be careless and reckless,

which often got them into trouble. In-

deed, Fuzzy Wuzz herself was apt to

make mistakes by doing things an old-

er and more experienced rabbit would

not.



But it was Bumper who made the

greatest mistake of all the young ones,

and through his ignorance nearly lost

all the glory he had gained in leading

his followers away from the hunters.

It happened on the third trip from the

burrow. .



Goggle Eye." 3. fat, lazy rabbit, who

was fore‘ver stuffing himself and think-

ing of his stomach, reported a. wonder;-

and even Bumper hadn’t had a smell

of one Since he left the read headed

girl’s garden.



They were all eager to visit the field,

and bright and early, under Goggle

Eyes 3 leadership, they sallied forth.

The way was through the heart of the

big woods, and then along a beautiful

stream of water until they came to the

clea1ing ‘



The field of vegetables was some

distance from the cabin, and after GOE-

gle,Eyes announced that the coast was

clear, they hopped through the rail

fence, and began greedily filling their

little stomachs. What a feast it was!

Nothing had ever tasted better to

Bumper and he munched the succulent

leaves of the cabbages and lettuce and

the thick, fleshy turnips until it seem~

ed as if he possibly couldn’t eat anoth-

er mouthful. 1



Then out of sheer happiness he roll-

ed around in the field. The younger

rabbits, taking this as a. signal for

play, began rolling and frolicking

around, chasing each other’s tails in

and out among the vegetables. Bump-

er forgot all the dignity of a king and

played the hardest of any.



Goggle Eyes picked off a big cab-

bage leaf and tried to hide from the

others under it. Spotted Tail jerked

up a small turnip by the roots and

threw it over’his head at him. Fuzzy

VVuzz kicked up her hind legs and sent

a shower of dirt all over Goggle Eyes

hiding under the leaf.



Not to be outdone by the others,

Bumper looked around for something

to throw Near him, hanging from a

low branch of a bush, was a big gray

ball that wasn’t either a vegetable or

a stone. He bumped against it with

his nose, and found it so light that he

could lift it with his front pays easily.



“Look out!” he shouted gleefully.

“I’m going to throw this ball at you,

Goggle Eyes!” ‘



All the players turned, and when

they saw what it was they looked a lit-

tle horrified, and then taking Bump-

er’s threat as a joke they laughed.



“I dare you to do it,” exclaimed Spot-

ted Tail.



This dare was accepted at once.



“Stand back, all of you, then!"

Bumper added. “I want to aim straight

at him. No,” he continued, changing

his mind, “I don’t throw it at Goggle

Eyes. I’ll toss it up in the air, and



‘What goes up must come down,



Either on heads or on the groun .



“You can’t do it, Bumper!” exclaim-

.ed one of the older rabbits.



“Can’t do it!” retorted Bumper, puff-

ing up his cheeks at what he consid-

ered a challenge to his strength. The

ball was twice the size of his head, and

at a distance looked big and heavy.

But Bumper had tested its weight, and

found it light and easy to handle.

Here was a good chance to make them

think he was strong and muscular.



He laughed good-naturedly, and ad-

ded: “I’ll show you if I can’t! I’ve

thrown bigger balls than this one.”



He turned to grab it in his two front

paws, but Fuzzy W’uzz turned sudden-

ly pale, and cried:



“Oh, Bumper, don’t—please don’t!”

_ Proud of the attention he was at-

tracting, and pleased at the thought

that Fuzzy Wuzz didn't want to see

him strain himself, he smiled, and put

all the strength he had in the pull that

loosened the big ball £83m the tWig

After that it was easy to lift it in his

two paws. It was almost as light as a

toy balloon. '



All the rabbits set up an exclama-

tion of surprise and horror. "Oh! 011!

Run!" they shouted.



Of course, Bumper thought this was

from fear that the he]! might

thrown at them, and he smiled. But

when they I11 seasonal-ed away to a.

(i , ~



It did not take him long to find out.

The humming and buzzing inside the

ball increased, and then out of one end

appeared Mr. Yellow Jacket and his

wife and all their children. The ball

was a hornet’s nest, and the irate fam-

ily were pouring out of their home,

pell- -mell.



Bumper felt a sharp sting on the end

of his ear, a sting like the pricking of

a thousand needles, and another on

the tip of his nose. With that he gave

a squeal of pain, and threw the ball

far from him. The next he scampered

away after the others, pursued by a

dozen angry Yellow Jackets.



It was not until they were at a safe

distance that they stopped. Then Spot- I

ted Tail turned to Bumper, and said.



“What an idiot you were! Or didn’t

you know it was Mr. Yellow Jacket’s

home?"



Bumper was on the point of confess-

ing his ignorance when he thought of

the consequence. A king should know3

everything, and to admit e‘ didn’t

know a hornet’s nest from a ball would

be a, terrible blow to his pride. So he

suppressed the groan that the pain on

his ear and nose cau ed, and said in-

dignantly: '



”Know it was Mr. Yellow Jacket’s

ROBABLY no American school

P boy or girl with a spark of imagi-

nation ever studied the history of

our Revolution or of the Civil War

without wishing they might have lived

in those stirring days. Life then was

filled with romance and action, there

were chances for heroism and brave

deeds,_history was in the making and

the folks who lived then weren’t tied

down to prosaic, humdrum, tiresome,

stupid, everyday living. So we’ve all

thought at one time or another, and I

must confess to having carried such

an impression up to the present time.

The times we are living in are even

more vitally important than any

epochs which have preceded, yet none

of us find today exciting or interesting.

Indeed, many of us find 1919 almost

unlivable, and are pining for those stu-

pid, but safe and easy, days of 1913.

History is in the making as never be-

fore, but we shrink ~from making it.

It isn’t being made in an exciting, slap-

dash way that gives us a chance to be

Light Horse Harrys or Barbara

Frietchies. Today’s history calls for

men and women, youths and maidens,

boys and girls, who will “carry on,"

and few seem to heed the call.

Yet that is all the world needs, just





 





 





 





 





 





 





Peace‘ Time Patriotism





the willingness to do our bit right

where we stand. It’s not a bit heroic

in appearance, but it demands ' the

highest sort of heroism to do it. There

is-nothing thrilling to stay right in our

own place and plow fields, or keep

house, or work in mines, or drive loco-

motives or run a drill press, and try

to solve our own individual problem in

a way to help the other fellow solve

his, but it is the only thing that will

straighten out the world and bring us

out of the chaos into which we seem

to be plunging headlong.



Instead of this balanced, rational

way of working out our salvation, we

have a world turned upside down. The

masses are drifting first this way, then

that, working three days and loafing

four, trying out the doctrine of every

agitator who poses as a prophet, and

seemingly filled with the idea that

they are being independent, and their

own masters. They are refusing to do

any share of the drudgery of the

world’s work, though since time began

there has been this same drudgery to

do, and someone always must do it.



I suppose even in those stirring days

of our early national life someone had

to do the plowing and reaping, the

cooking and sewing, while the heroes





we study about rushed around gather-

ing glory. But I never really thought

much about that side of it until lately

when the necessity for doing homely

tasks has been brought so strongly to

my attention. I suppose even George

Washington and General Grant and

Robert E. Lee had to eat and be cloth-

ed, and someone had to see that their

wants were provided for. Come to

think about it, there are only a very

few names handed down to us as his-

tory makers, and there must have been

a whole lot of other folks doing some-

thing. What they were doing were

the very simple, humdrum tasks of

regular life, work that is so common

it has no glamour, but is really of

greater importance than fighting bat-

tles and making peace treaties. Some-

one had to do it then, and evidently

they did do it or we wouldn’t be here

today.



Somebody must do ‘it today if we

are going to survive as a nation. We

want men and women who are willing

simply to “carry on." It’s hard to keep

right on the job doing good work and

doing it six days out of seven when

the fellow at your elbow can do slip-

shod work two or three days out of

the week and make more money than

you get for faithful service. But it’s

the only thing that is going to save

the country. .And a few are going to

save the situation.- Every .once in a





while you come across a man or" a





woman who has ,the true vision. A

few are holding steadfast, living a

sane, balanced life in the midst ofa

disordered wOrld. They are doing their

own part faithfully and well, taking





disappointments and losses as a part





of the game, rejoicing if a bit of good





fortune comes their way, but refusing"





to whine if things seem to stack up

against them. And these few are the

country’s salvation.



In these history—making days, which

our descendants will find so interest-

ingto read about, but which we find

so hard to live, I like to think of Je-

hovah’s reply to Elijah’s complaint,

that he alone was left to worship the

true God, “Yet have I reserved me sev-

en thousand in Israel who have not

bowed the knee to Baal.” .



Scattered through America, the mod-

ern promised land, there‘are ten times

seven thousand who have not bowed

the knee to the Ball of inefficiency and

shiftlessness. It is this remnant that

remain steadfast which will save our

country. DEBORAH.





Is the water-Power Electric Plant Practical?





lation of a private water-power



electric plant are frequently ask-

ed. An impression seems to prevail

that such plants may be installed very

cheaply, and that, with the free water

power, farms may be fitted with pow-

er for work, and lights for house and

buildings at practically no expense.

Michigan’s abundant water supply is

here, we all know, and it looks as

though it should be an easy thing to

furnish all the power necessary to

homes so fortunate as to be on or near

one of these many streams.



But as usual, in this year of our

Lord, 1919, appearances are very de-

ceiving. When you begin to delve be-

low the surface and get actual facts

and figures, costs mount up so that





QUESTIONS relating to the instal-





even the dealers will tell you it is





cheaper to put in a gasoline engine





and pay for the fuel than it would be

to install a water-power plant.



“I am spending a large part of. my

time dissuading farmers from putting

in small water-power plants," one deal-

er said. “In a few, very few cases,

conditions are such that a water-power

plant would be advisable. These cas-

es are where the stream has a good

fall, it should be not less than ten feet.

But the idea that any man who has a

creek meandering through his flat

farm has at once a cheap source of

supply for electric power is all'wrong.





~The cost of building a dam and reser-

voir to store up water to run his plant generator and





would be prohibitive. Even with the

fall a dam to divert the water to the

wheel must be built, and anyone who

knows the cost of concrete can figure

out what that would mean.”



This idea that water power, as a





 





general thing, is not practical, seemed

to be common to all dealers. The hy-

draulic ram as a means of furnishing

the water is impossible.

used only to supply the house and

barn with water, but could not furnish

sufficient force to generate electricity.

A water wheel would need to be pur-

chased and installed. uAn overshobt

wheel might be used in a small plant,

but the turbine is more often installed.



Add to the cost of the wheel the cost

of a dam, for a dam must be built to

turn the water to the wheel. Then

figure on at least $300 more for your

switchboard, another

$100 for wiring your buildings, and on

top- of that $75 for fixtures, and the

idea of an inexpensive plant begins

to fade.



Of course, when once installed, you

do not have to buy gasoline to run





»





This can be“





your plant. .You have your power con-

stantly on supply without expense, but

the initial cost of installing the water

power system scarcely makes up for

the little saved in paying for power.

A few such plants are installed in

Michigan. The late Fred Postal had

one on his farm near Evart, Michigan.





'And at Traverse City, E. S. Pratt, late-





ly deceased, dammed up a creek near

his home and put in a water wheel. He-

also- put a hydraulic ram in a spring

near by and forced the water into the

house by this means.



There can be no doubt, however, as

to the great advantage which would

be gained if every‘home was furnished

with electricity. The most popular

method of securing this tireless work

er is through power generated by a

gas engine.

N these days of rising glove prices,

with the thread and the putting of the

stitch which fa an, imitation oi machine

Certain makes of gloves, instead of:

other and then stitched with a rem of

[back stitching. French gloves have

two raw edges brought together and,

are finely over-stitched crossways, and

the result is worth the time. First

sew over and over in slanting Stitch

consists of a set of sixteen glass jars ,

each containing a series of lead plates



suspended in a solution of water and

and into the solution. and in discharg-

The function of the battery is to re-

can be used at~any time, day or night.

been made in battery choice by choos-

thought of him and spoke of him with

afiection, Since that time, some tWo

years ago, the father passed away. He

was nearly blind, and both physically

happy heart.



A young farmer met them at the

Jimmy was delighted, and the last the

superintendent saw of him was as he

drove the team himself, taking hold of

the lines with his new father, and call-

ing back a happy, laughing good-bye.



Everything Went finely; they loved

the boy and he was in the seventh

heaven of joy for several months. And

then word came that the foster father

had to leave the farm and the state

on account of his health. so Jimmy

; contention again.





: .1 V: under the threat to paralyzethe indium ’

,1 tries or the country and bring untold





suffering to its people if their tonne

are not complied with. Our liberties

have been too dearly bought to yield

to demands now so “rashly impor-

tunate. ” Our boys did not go to France

to fight for the cause of freedom and





1 , humanity, and then be content to see .





their oWn ecuntry in the grip of an

industrial revolution which, if success-

ful according to the wish of its lead-

ers, would be the death blow to our

free institutions, I am in hearty ac-

cord with the stand taken by the





.President in his statement to the





United Mine Workers, published last

Sunday morning, and I trust , there

will be no faltering anywhere along

the line. To yield would be to permit

the perpetration‘ of both a great moral

and legal wrong. .





And now, what is the relation of the

farmer to the government in such a.

crisis? There is as yet no binding

legal relation which would compel his

personal service or personal contribu-

tion in aid of the government, and my

hope and belief are there will be no

need of aid of this character. But

there is a relation which good citizen-

ship implies. Out of that comes the

moral support which a great conserva-

tive, sound thinking and fearless con-

stituency can give the government in

the exercise of its proper functions, in

the maintenance of law and order, in

its protection of the rights of the in-

dividual citizen. This constituency is

the farmer class. It Constitutes a.

large part of the general public. For

that reason, too, as well as for its

peculiar character and place in the

body politic, it is a force which, in any

threatened industrial disturbance or

upheaval, must be reckoned with.





I do not despair of a better day

when the force of capital and the

forces of labor, led respectively by

men of brain and heart, will come to-

gether in a spirit of mutual respect

and cooperation and, with just regard

for the rights of eaCh and of the pub-

lic, will make amicable adjustment of

all differences. I think every good

citizen should by precept and example,

so far as it is in his power to furnish

an example, do what he can to hasten

that day. But, meanwhile, the law

should afford some remedy.





I make bold to suggest for your con«

sideration one remedy, not complete,

perhaps, but one that may afford some

relief from what is likely to became,

if it is not now, an intolerable condi-

tion among an intelligent and progres-





‘ siVe people; and that is a compulsory





investigation, by a lawfully consti-

tuted board or tribunal, of any contro-

versy affecting the public interest be—

tween employers and employee en-

gaged in our great industries and in

interstate. commerce, making either a

lockout or a strike, pending such in-

vestigation, a criminal oflense with

severe penalties, the findings and





' recommendations of the investigating





board or tribunal to be published in

order that the public might be able to

judge of the merits 0f the controversy

and express intelligent opinion there-

on. Against the weight of public opin-

ion,‘ neither'side, it is believed, would

long contend; and meanwhile, the pub-

lic and the parties will in many cases

have been saved from irreparable loss

or injury. .



I know that labor leaders urge that,

becauge of delay, this plan would pre-

vent the effective use of the strike

weapon for redress of alleged griev-

But, this is at most the class

people to govern themselves. When ” J,-

the remedy is found, it will be simply , '

the much needed application again of-

the ancient principle—“The safety of

the people is the supreme law.” ‘ .

I am loath to conclude without one .

further observation on. the relation of ‘-

the farmer and the gavernment. Hith-

erto it has been said of the farmer

that he is the most independent and

self-reliant of our citizenship. He

has earned the tribute and is not yet

in; need of a paternal government.

While he should avail himself of much

valuable information disseminated by

the Department of Agriculture con-

cerning plants, animals, crops and

soils, through bulletins and year

books, he should not come to depend

on the government for full relief frdm

every untoward condition. 'He should

realize that only through reliance on

his own thinking, his own resources,

his own devices, will most of the prob-

lems which confront him find their

real solution. I am not much in sym-

pathy with an appropriation carried

in the Agricultural Appropriation bill

for the “eradication of weeds.” The

old way was to plow them out or hoe

them out, or, if they were too “close

in the hill,” pull them out. I doubt if

the Department of Agriculture can im.

prove on the old cornfield plan.



Cooperation, and not usurpation,

should be the watchword in farm dem-

onstration work, with the initiative al-

ways on the part of the state or the

agricultural college of the state in the

program or plan for such work, in-

stead of being left to the secretary of

agriculture. For who should know

better the conditions of soil or climate

which will justify any given experi-

ment or the expenditure of the neces-

sary funds, than the home experts

who have studied them, or the home

folks who have known them as a part;

of their daily life. In any event, self- .

reliance and individual initiative must

'still continue to be the malnspring of

the success and programs of the farmer

as they are 0f genuine progress in

every other walk of life—in society

itself. These Qualities, combined with

respect for, law and lawfully consti-

tuted authority, are the foundations on

which we have Nbuilded They are the

secret of the strength of our great

FEATURES OF HOG TRADE.





 





LUCTUATIONS of anywhere from



fifty cents to $1 per one hundred

pounds in a single day remind the ob- _

selvei of the old- time Board of Trade

grain markets, and the constant ups

and downs of the hog market in Chi-

cago bewilder owners of hogs and

cause them to wonder what steps to

take about marketing their holdings.

Some farmers have lost faith in the

future of the market and hastened

their pigs to market, sacrificing them

by so doing, while others are holding

on in the hope that they will be re-

paid for following this course. Recent

big booms in hog prices came as a

complete surprise to most stockmen in

the corn belt, and it helped to hold the

marketing of hogs prematurely in

check, the prevailing opinion being.

that the packers saw the neceSsity of

doing something to step the sale of

mere pigs. There are plenty of young

hogs in the country, according to the

most reliable advices, and owners

greatly prefer to mature them props

erly. Probably the receipts will be

come larger in volume after Thanks-

giving, but unquestionably every hog

is going to heneeded to meet the enor—

mous domestic and foreign require

2 ments. Eastern packers are buying

hogs in the Chicago market rather

more freely, but their purchases are

still much too- small to make active

competition between buyers, and their

supplies come mainly from their home

territory. By January the eastern de.

mand for western hogs is expected to

become larger in volume. Reports

from Iowa are that hogs are more

plentiful than ever before, and it is re-

called that at auction sales made on





Illinois and Indiana farms'last winter ‘





farmers bid recklessly against each

other for brood sows. At the present

time the export trade in lard and cur—

ed hog meats is checked materially by

the longshoremen’s strike in New

York. After the recent boom in hogs

which landed the best at $15.25, result-

ing in much increased receipts in the

Chicago market sharp reactions took

place, prices going much lower. The

bulk of the hogs sell within a range of

ninety cents, with prime heavy butch-

ers. light butchers and light bacon

hogs selling at the same prices.

the fact that those of us who

are selling milk to the city trade

or --to the condensary are remov-





worth of fertilizing constituents which

the selling or the cheese or butter

would leave on the farm. The effect

of selling whole 1111111 as compared

with the sale of butter or cheese is a

question of much importance to dairy

farmers who are interested in building

up and maintaining the fertility of

their farms. By a study of the compo-

sition of milk, cheese and butter we

find that a ton of each' product con-

tains the following quantities of the





'. , three .important‘fertilizing elements.





Phos. Pot-



Nitrogen. Acid. ash.



Milk . . . . . . . . . . .10.60 3.80 3.60

Cheese . . . . . . . . 70.00 13.00 3.90

Butter . . . . . . . 2.00 1.00 .40





Providing we have a farm support.

ing thirty cows producing an average

of six thousand pounds of milk per

cow per year, we. would sell in the

milk, cheese and butter, allowing that

the milk would produce four and one-

half pounds of butter or eleven pounds

of cheese per one hundred pounds, the

following: -





Phos. .

Nitrogen. Acid. Potash.

Milk . . . . . . .954.00 342.00 324.00

Cheese . . . . . . .57400 106.00 36.00

utter . . . . . 8.00 4.00 1.60





Figured at, the pre-war value of the

different elements, or twenty cents per

pound for nitrogen, and five cents per

pound for phosphoric acid and potash,

the value of the fertility removed by

the sale of milk, cheese and butter

from the thirty-cow dairy producing

an average of six thousand pounds of

milk per cow would be approximately

for one year as follows:





Phos.

Nitrogen. Acid. Potash.

Milk .. . . . . . .$190.80 $17.10 $16.20

Cheese . . . . . . .114.80 5.30 1.80

Butter . .. . . . . . 1.60 .20 .08





These figures show approximately

the difference in the value of nitrogen,





from the farm by the thirty-cow dairy

that is producing six thousand pounds

of milk per cow per year. I



The above figures though large

should not cause a man to waste a lot

of time thinking about the problem of

selling milk or whole milk to the

cheese factory provided he could get

a. better market for his milk or cheese.

Any of these elements may easily be

replaced through feeding a few tons of

concentrates or buying commercial

plant foods. Of course, in feeding the

young stock the skimmilk from the

dairy there is a. still greater gain in

fertility through the plant foods and

the organic matter that goes back to

the land from the rough feeds‘ and

bedding materials, but there is_a1ways

a. slight loss of minerals when the api-

mals are finally sold. Then, too, the

phosphoric acid and potash removed.





On the other hand, the difference in

the PriCes paid for milk, cheese and

butter is usually more than enough to

ofiset the fertility account and leave

a substantial balance in the farmer’s

pocket. It is by» nomeans uncommon

to find the farms on which whole milk

is sold to' be gaining in fertility faster

than those from which butter or

cheese is sold. This may be due to

better methods of crop growing or .to

the more up-to-date methods of saving

and applying farm manures. Then,

there is always considerable loss in

handlingpfarm manures, so the figures

quoted would have to be revised ac-

cording to the methods the farmer em-

ployed in handling the manure on his

farm.





On the majority of farms Where the

whole milk is sold more purchased

grain feeds are fed, not because it is

necessary, but because it pays to feed

the cows more grain when a higher

price is obtained for the milk. In my

own business I find that selling whole

milk pays from twenty-five to thirty~

five per cent better than selling» cream

or making cheese, and that I can af-

ford to purchase more grain feeds for

my cows. By growing potatoes in ro-

tatioh with the food crops for the cows

1 can afford to buy liberal quantities

of fertilizers for the potato crop so

that there will be an excess left in the

soil for the succeeding crops in the

zotation.





The farmer who plans his crop grow.

ing system so that one acre of clover,

alfalfa, soybeans or mixed clover and

timothy hay per cow ‘kept on his farm

is raised each year will never need to

have any trouble in maintaining an

adequate supply' of nitrogen and or-

ganic matter in his soil. If he buys

suitable concentrates and feeds his

cows heavy grain rations, saves all of

the manure made and rotates his crops

wisely, his problem will eventually be

that of bfiying mineral plant foods to

balance up the excess of nitrogen.

Likewise he will find it possible to

grow a. cash crop such as potatoes or

beans, one acre to each cow kept on

the. farm, from which he can derive

as great annual profit per acre as he

(ices per cow from the sale of milk.

Some of the mineral fertilizers may

be needed, but not in any excessive

amounts. _ I



While the selling of butter and whole

milk presents some rather interest-





ing figures for study in deciding which‘





branch of dairying to practice, yet

they are a little misleading to one

who has had only a limited experience

in building up soil fertility with dairy

cattle. In_ actual farm practice we

the cows not only enjoy it but they?

will drink: larger quantities and this

‘ has a. direct relation to the amount of

When cows have to drink from an

outside trough several hundred feet

from the stable they seldom drink

enough water during cold weather.

They eat expensive feed without tak-

ing the water into their systems which

is needed for health and the produc-

tlon of large quantities of milk. Some-

times this condition can be improved

by lining galvanized pails as individual

watering troughs beside the manger of

‘ each cow. Then the cow always has

water available in spite of the outside

storms. She will drink more often and

give more milk.



Some dairymen have watering sys-

tems installed in their dairy barns and

find them practical, both as to the

amount of work saved in watering the

stock and the increase in the milk pro-

I hav ,

The: are not





enough corn to fill all three of main.

I have about 1000 bushels of rye, lé’ss

than 100 bushels of oats, and between

1, 000 and 2, 000 bushels of ear corn. 1

have a feed grinder as well as a corn-

on-the cob grinder. Would yen advise

selling the rye or to grind it with oats

or corn, or corn-on-the-cob, or both?

If you would advise selling, what kind

of feed would you advise buying? If

you think it best to keep it, how would

you advise feeding? How many Oats

should a horse get to a feed?



Genesee Co. G. G.



Taking into consideration the pres-

ent prices of all feedstuffs ‘I would ad-

vice feeding your rye. Of course you

must get it ground no matter what

kind of live stock you feed itto. It

should not be fed without being ground.

As long as you have a‘ corn-and-cob

grinder I think it would be better to

feed the corn in this way, that is,

grind it, cob and all. ‘If you would





, mix your corn-and-cob meal, ground





rye and wheat bran in equal parts by

weight, it would make a. very good ra-

tion to feed with your éornstalk silage.

Even then there would be some defi-

ciency in proteins arid a little oil meal

or cottonseed meal would help out the

ration very materially. But these pro-

ducts are so exceedingly high and so

hard to get, and in all probability you

would have practically as. economical

a ration without them. However, you

could not expect the cows to give quite

as much milk.



You do not say what kind of hay

you are feeding with your ensilage. If

you have clover or alfalfa you can get

along quite nicely without the oil meal

or cottonseed meal, but if you have

timothy hay these products ought to

be provided. But with quite a liberal

amount of wheat bran you will have

a fairly economical ration.



Foul quarts of good oats three times

a day, or twelve quarts per day, is

about the right amount for a. one~thou-

sand-pound horse, a larger horse would

require a little more. C. C. L.





 





ESTABLISHING A PERMANENT

' PASTU RE.





I am writing to ask advice in regard

to establishing a permanent pasture.

What ought I to sow, and quantity per

acre? The field I have selected has a

variety of soils, sand, clay and a heavy

black soil. It produced a. good crop of

Wheat this year and has a good seed-

ing of led June clover and timothy.

How should I proceed to get a good

stand of permanent pasture grasses

and still have the use of this field for

pasture next year? , E. H.



The first thing in establishing a per-

manent pasture is to use a number of

good grasses of such varieties that you

will have a continuous supplYflf suc-

culent growth from early spring till

fall. The second thing is to seed-heav-

ily in order to get a thick mat of grass-

es, one that occupies the entire ground.





 





 





.With ‘1





 

 

 

 

 





it you choose, the more the better.

This pasture ought not to be pastur-





ed the flat year. because the tramp- , . _,

1.113“ the cattle'wiildestroy the plants, .1





before they are Well established. Light

animals, like Calves and'sheep, can be

turned on, butit must not be pastured

close. A real good'plan is to clip the

grass with a mower if it is weedy or

if it gets too high. It'is best to keep

the stock off. until the second year.

Later in the season you can cut a crop

of hay and by next spring it will be

well established so that you can use it

as pasture without harm. . L.





MODEL COW STALL.





Some years ago you printed direc-_

-tions for building what I think you





called the model cow stall. I saw one

in use and thought it was the best stall

I ever saw. Would like to use one

now. Will you print the directions for

building it, again. H. D. M.





It is a little difficult to tell in a let-

ter how to build this/stall. . A grain

and ensilage manger is on the level of

the floor of the stall, above that is the

manger for hay, with slats facing the

cOw at an angle of forty-five degrees.

This enables one to put in the feed of

ensilage and grain, and also the hay.

at one time. All other stalls one must

wait until the ensilage and grain is

eaten up before feeding hay. ‘



The cow is tied with a chain around

the neck, giving her considerable liba

erty. The cow is kept clean in this

sort. of stall by placing a two-by-four

edgewise directly in front of the hind

feet as she stands when eating ensl-

lage and grain. The bedding is placed

so as to fill the stall level with the top

of the two-by-four. Now, when the cow

lies down she has to step ahead and

lie upon this elevated bed. This keeps

her from getting stable soiled. With

a little pains used in adjusting this

two-byafour to accommodate different

sized cows, they can be kept absolute-

ly clean from stable soiling. L.





 





DAIRYING AND FERTILITY.

find thatmore depends upon our meth-





ods of cultivating, rotating our crops





and applying the farm manures than

upon the selling of comparatively

small amounts of fertilizing elements

from the farm. It makes a lot of differ-

ence how our land is handled. I ap-

prove of keeping the skimmilk at

home and feeding it to young stock,

but if conditions are against such a

system of dairy farming a, man can

sell milk or cheese and notdeplete the

fertility of his farm, provided he an

derstands how to handle his soil to

get results. C. B. FORD.

O I C’s Am altering a. few September pigs that
SECOND EDITION.





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday af-

ternoon, November 13. ,





WHEAT:





The wheat market has continued

through the past week without chang-

es of importance. The flour situation

has eased up somewhat following the

announcement of the Grain Corpora-

tion that supplies purchased for export

will be resold in this country. Farm-

ers are not delivering heavily at this

time, as showu by the visible supply

figures which indicate an increase of

only 45,000 bushels for the past week.

One year ago No. 2 red wheat sold on

the local market at $2.23V2. Present

Detroit prices are:





 

 





 





 





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

No. 1 mixed 2.25

No.1white .225

No. 2 red ........... 2.24

é’ No. 3 red ............... 2.20





CORN.





Financial conditions, especially the

high money market, was partially re-

sponsible for recent declines in corn

values. Dealers watch weather condi-

tions closely as delivery of grain from

farms is an important consideration in

establishing values. The transporta-

tion situation is also giving trouble

and makes market conditions some-

what uneven over the country. The

government, through the railroad ad-

ministration, promises to relieve the

car situation as soon as the grain is

offered in sufficient volume to require

special equipment. The federal crop

report for November places this year’s

production at eyer 300,000,000 bushels

above last year’s crop. During the

past week the visible supply decreased

.117,000 bushels. Chicago is paying for

No. 2 mixed $1.54@1.55; No. 2 yellow





 





 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





$1.55@1.59; December $13094; May

$1.241/2. Detroit prices are:

No. 3 corn .............. $1.58

No. 3 yellow ............ 1.60

No. 4 yellow ............ 1.58

No. 5 yellow....... ..... 1.57





OATS.





While values have receded from the

high point reached last week, the mar-

ket continues firm following reports of

foreign buying. Receipts from farm-

ing localities show some increase over

a week ago. The visible supply de-

creased 187,000 bushels during the

week. One year ago standard oats

were quoted on the local market at

700 per bushel. Present prices at De-





 





troit are:

No. 2 white ............. 761/2

No. 3 white .............. 751/2

No. 4 white .............. 741/2





RYE.





A slightly easier tone prevails here

and values are down from last week’s

high point. The visible supply increas-

ed nearly 1,000,000 bushels during the

week. At Detroit No. 2 is quoted at

$1.38 per bushel.





BEANS.





It appears that the public is paying

just a little mere attention to beans

and the feeling of interest is slightly

manifest in the higher values buyers

seem willing to pay. The change, how~

ever, is small, and farmers continue

to hold back their supplies, believing

that the dealer should pay what it

costs to produce this crop. At Detroit

a fair demand has developed and im—

mediate and prompt shipment are now

quoted at $7 per cwt. New York

quotes Michigan beans firmer and the

new crop is quoted on that market at

$7.25 1’. 0. b. Michigan points. The

New York quotation for choice pea

beans is $7.75, and for common to fair

do $7@7.50. Chicago tradesmen quote

a little higher prices, with evidence

of more attention being given the mar—

ket. Choice to fancv hand-picked pea

beans are quoted there at $7.50@8;

red kidneys $13@13.50.





FEEDS.





Quotations are unchanged as fol-

lows: Bran $46; standard middlings

$51®51 50$fine middlings 861606150:

coarsecorn meal $60®622~ cracked

POTATOES.





The potato market is gaining in

strength, both in the large marketing

centers and in producing sections. All

important markets report from steady

to higher prices. Michigan growers

are receiving from $1.75@2 .per cwt.

for round whites, U. S. No. 1 in bulk

at warehouses. Deliveries are moder-

ate. Detroit’s market is firm with

Michigan U. S. No. 1 stock, well grad-

ed quoted $4.10@4.25 per 150-lb. sack,

and $2.55@2.65 per cwt. in bulk. Chi-

cago’s market is firm at slightly higher

prices. The above grade is selling

there at $2.80@2.95 per cwt. The same.

description brings $4.35@4.50 per 150-

pound sack in Cleveland and $4.35@

4.40 in Pittsburgh.





BUTTER.

The market has advanced since last





Week. Export demand continues and

additional shipments have been made





 





to eastern ports for European trade

as soon as strikes are settled. At De-

troit fresh creameries have advanced

to 63%c per lb. The Chicago market

is higher at 55@68%c for creamery. A

steady ton'e isreported in New York

where“ the range for creamery stock

is 61@71c. Western, extra cream-

ery brings 70c in Philadelphia. where

the market is steady.





EGGS.





Receipts of eggs have decreased and

dealers show a greater inclination to

take hold of the market. Local prices

have advanced to 63@66c for fresh





eggs and 46%@51c for storage stock.





WOOL '





A wide variety of‘grades Were in-

volved in the heavy trading in wool in

Boston last week, where sales aggre-

gating 4,000,000 pounds were made. An

important feature of the trading was

the increased attention given to medi-

um grades. There was a heavy turn-

over of three-eighths blood and quar~

ter-blood. Small lots of fine staple and

delaines were held at fancy prices.

The majority of these grades are held

by collisignors who showdittle desire

The potato market is higher at $1.45

per bushel, daily receipts in Grand

Rapids being 1,500 bushels. Local

growers are holding their crop for

higher prices and only long hauls by

motor trucks keeps the price from ad-

vancing sharply to still higher levels.

Reports from the Michigan potato

Growers’ Exchange at Cadillac last

week were a daily movement of 125

cars billed to 60 different destinations.

The market is a little stronger at $2.30

@235 per sack and $2.20 bulk per cwt.

Central Lake Marketing Assocxat1on

reports 125 cars will be shipped this

fall. The best yield is 300 bash-e18

per acre. The fall-sown crops of wheat

will go into winter better than any for

many years. The area sown is larger

in western Michigan than last year.

White cabbage is very firm at $1.25

per cwt. The crop in this section is

lighter than last season. Red is also

very scarce at $1.75. The crop of tur~

keys is fair in this section of the state

and is being marketed at 27 cents per

pound live weight. Ducks and geese

are somewhat scarce.

HE steady game- etting quali-



ties of Winchester oaded Shells



have made them the favorite

shells of experienced shooters.





. Under all weather conditions they

play true to form, shootin a strong,

even spread of shot. The ,inchester





waterproofing process prevents swelling

from dampness; spec1al lubrication of





the paper fibres prevents brittleness





and splitting in dry weather.





The secret of the famous Winchester Shot

Pattern is in the control of the gas blast from

the exploding powder. This in turn depends

upon the wadding in the shell.





T he Winchester gas control system'

The Winchester system of wadding and load-





determine the most e ective control of the

gas blast. The base wads of Winchester Shells

are constructed to give what is known as ro-

(gressive combustion to the powder charge. _ he

gmtion spreads to the Sides, in all directions,

as well as forward. '





F. Under the heat and pressure of this progres-

sive combustion, thereugh, Sprin ydrivin wad

expands and fills the bore snug y, comp etely

sealing in the gas behind. In being driven

through the bore this wad offers just enough

resistance to the gas blast to insure complete





combustion of every grain of powder, so that .





‘ ing is the result of re eated experiments to .





Apatclw





GAME GETTERS





the full energy of the whole powder charge is





' developed at the muzzle. Thus none of the shot





charge leaves the gun until it is being driven

by the maximum energy and velocrty posmble

from the load.





At the muzzle, the expanded, snug-fitting

driving wad is slightly checked by the muzzle

choke or constriction, while the shot clustet‘

travels on unbroken by gas blast or waddmg,

making the hard-hitting uniform pattern for

which Winchester Shells are world famous.





Uniform shells. From primer to crimp,

Winchester Shells are so balanced in construed

tion as to insure the maximum pattern possible

from any load. The broad fish-tail flash from

the (primer gives even and thorough ignition;

the riving wads completely seal in the gas behind

the shot; the stiffness of the crimp or turnover

at the shell head is varied exactly according

to different loads, great care being taken

never to stiffen it to such a degree that it offers

undue resistance" to the powder explosion.





Clean hits and more of them





To insure more hits and cleaner hits in the

field or at the traps, be sure your shells are
