OCCU-

pies a more im-

Ouf portant position in the
Naf'on affairs of the nation
First than he has ever oc-

cupied bef01e. It has
been an uphill climb, but it has not
failed his strength 01 1esoulces to
reach the higher vantage ground. His
present views of the economic and po-
litical situation give him a clearer vis-
ion of the things that are most needed
to hasten the recovery to normal con-
ditions. The farmer is the'recog’nized
balance—Wheel of American ideas and
ideals.

So long as he maintains this stabil-
izing influence and presents a united
front to remove all barriers that are
unjustly interposed between his unre-
mitting toil and the fair reward which
should attend it, he may live in hope
and cease to speculate with fear. He
has abundant assurance of fair profits
in every line of staple production, and
has so fortified his position among the
great industries of the country that he
may face the future with confidence.
If he has not entirely removed his
most serious handicaps, he has, at least,
sended their existence and is becoming
prepared to meet them in a way that
cannot fail to bring results. Nowhere
else under the sun have pessimists so
little reason for being as they have on
American farms.

Farmers have many serious prob-
lems which cannot be dismissed with
a wave of the hand or with sets of res-
olutions from organizations that may
or may not represent the real farm
sentiment of the country. Some of
these problems are knotty and per-
plexing, and the solution of them may
be neither swift nor painless, but they
can be solved, and more happily solv-
ed, than like problems confronting oth-
er classes of people where class con-
s'ciousness and aggressiveneSS is prov-
ing a menace to the orderly workings
of other interests as well as to the
wants of the government. In this

Grange and other stro'ng organizations
in formulating a sale and sane national

Grave responsibilities now rest upon
the shoulders of the American former
as well as upon the leaders of farmers'
organizations. Great care should be
exercised in the selection of capable
leaders, and greater care must be ex-
ercised to see that they really reflect
the thOught and sentiment of the farm-
or in their dealings with economic and
political problems. It is possible to
take class organization too seriously
and use it for a weapon to defeat the
very purpose for which it Was created.
Too much power in the hands of ag-
gressive class leaders is not always
good for such organizations. It has
proven a stumbling—block to some of
the most powerful labor organizations
and there is danger of it proving a ser-
ious handicap to farmers’ organiza-
tions if they fail to act nationally as
well as agriculturally in all great ques—
tions that attect the welfare of the peo-
ple of the nation as a Whole.

potatoes, barley, cats and certain 1e-

have built up a large and growing seed

which the claims of northern seed
growers should not influence purchases
of farm seeds. It is undoubtedly true
that so far as a few of our farm crops
are concerned seed grown in a colder
climate is preferable to seed grown
where the seasons are longer and
warmer. Hardiness, or vitality (and

“ GGS are plentiful in the Spring
Simply because natural conditions

. are then most favorable for heavy
laying What we try to do, therefore,
is to provide as nearly spring-time con-
ditions as we can 'in the winter. In
addition we want good qua-rtel‘S._ and
good management.

While our market flocks are forced
for all the winter eggs we can get out
of them, we have a separate pen of
fowls which we are going to breed
frOm in the spring. These breeders are
not forced, because forcing always
eventually lowers vitality and causes
poor fertility.

For heavy laying alone we prefer
Leghorns, Minorcas or Anconas. How-
ever, regardless of variety, all the
fowls should be of'at least fair stan-
dard bred duality. They will look bet-
ter, laybetter and pay better.

We have our houses as warm as is
consistent with proper ventilation,
without having any artificial heat; this
latter we believe to be a needless ex-
pense, if not a positive danger. If the
fowls are made to exercise sufficiently,
they will need no supplied heat.

Where the weather is more or less
changeable during the winter, the
fowls should be protected from sudden
changes, because they have a more
disastrous effect upon egg production
than has extreme cold. In warm win-
ter weather, we throw the houses wide
open during the day, and after night

More Money

GOOD many fellows are toiling
A away sixteen and eighteen hours

a day on the farm because their
system of farming is wrong. By equal-
izing the crops and farm herds, they
could be busy less hours all the year,
and not half kill themselves \during
the hot summer months. And they
would make more real money, too.

To illustrate: Dairy farmers have
just passed through a period of very
strenuous field activities and of heavy
milking with their herds. Now. when
field work is lax, many will be idle one-
third of the time, because their herds
will not freshen. In fact, on some
farms the term idleness might be used
instead of freshen. A more even baln
ance in the year’s work can be brought
about if the cows are bred to calve in
the fall. The logic of this is very
plain; as the work of caring for the
cows draws to a close, the busy time
in the barn opens. The cows will be
coming fresh at that time. There will
be plenty of time for giving them any
needed attention, and for looking after

'the young calves.

~ Records show that under the system
of having cows calve in the fall from
twelve to twenty per cent more milk

is secured during the course of the A
year. The price received is higher, too. '

High profits are insured, because un-

. der this sort of management the cows

are yielding their maximum production
at the season of highest prices. It is
true that milk and milk products can-
not be as cheaply produced on high-
priced feedstuffs as on pasture, but the
increased price and greater ease of
handling the milk during the cool sea-
son. with the subsequent saving in la-
bor, far outweighs the advantage of
the grass.

One of the greatest arguments in fa-
vor of fall freshening is: that it bal-
ances the work of the farm to a nic’ety.
The cows commence to come fresh

provide somewhat more than the usual
amount of ventilation. Then when the
weather turns cold, we close up the
houses as tightly as we can and still
maintain good ventilation, acCording
to the severity of the weather. Of
course, we use muslin curtains in the
front of our house so that the fowls
are always sure of fresh air.

In regard to the number of fowls
that may safely be kept in a house of
a certain size—we prefer six to eight
square feet of house room per fowl.
Five feet per fowl is the minimum for
best, results. Our houses are divided
into pens ten by twelve feet each, and
we keep fifteen fowls in each, thus
giving each bird eight square feet of
floor space.

The feed is important, for the hen
is like every other being in the respect
that she cannot produce something
from nothing, and she must be provid-

ed with the proper materials for con-
verting into eggs. The natural food of
poultry is grain, insects, bugs and
worms, and green stuff. This makes
such' a well balanced ration that about
the best thing we can do is to try to
match it.

We feed twice a day, morning and
evening, with green food supplied at
noon. Our morning feed always con
sists of a variety of dry grains scatter-
ed in a deep litter so that the birds
will have to hunt and scratch for all
they get. Exercise is necessary, for it
is the busy hen that visits the nest
and the lazy hen that gets fat and per-
sists in living the “simple life” when
it comes to producing eggs.

At noon we supply some kind or
green food, giving as great a variety
as possible. Any kind of grass or green
stuff is all right! so are vegetables,
roots, bulbs and tubers of any sort that

man is in a position to devote all his
time to making the herd pay profits.
in this manner the farmer provides
himself with productive and profitable
work for the entire year, and does not
“kill himself” with work for a few
months.

Usually the milk flow begins to fail
by the time the spring farm work op-
ens, the dairy work is consequently
field
work. By June the cows start to go
dry and by the time the blue grass pas-
ture fails in the fall there is very lit-
tle “cow work” and plenty of farm
work. The dairyman, however, can
make good Ilse of the pasture while it
lasts, for the cowsvrespond to it and
the dairyman is rewarded with an ex-
tra flow of milk before the cows go on
their summer vacation.

It is highly important that the dairy
cow be encouraged to do her best dur-
ing the first part of the lactation pe-

riod, for to a certain extent she will
strive to maintain the pace set during
the first few weeks. The dairyman,
for this reason, should be prepared to
give the cows the best of care at this
time, as his future season profits de-
pend upon it. More can be accomplish-
ed toward producing the very highest
flow of milk in the fall or early winter
than in the spring. This theory is bas-
ed upon the fact that the cow's system
becomes sluggish through the winter,
due to artificial feed, _close confine-
ment and other abnormal things, and
that she cannot respond in the spring
like she can after a. summer’s rest on
pasture and under more normal cir-
cumstances. And it sounds reason-
able, while the profits of the men who
follow this type of herd management
demonstrate that is it.

The farmers who have made com-
parisons advise that calves dropped in
the fall are easier to raise and make

the birds will eat. If no supply of fresh
green food is available, the next best.
thing is to use alfalfa or clover hay
freely. It can be fed dry but should , ‘
also be stcc med and fed as mash oc- '
occasionallv. '

The evening mash, fed the last thing
before the fowls go to most, is a moist"
mash, consisting mainly of cracked
corn, middlings, bran, etc. Sometimes
on very cold days, we also give a feed
of whole corn that has been thorough-
ly heated because it helps keep the
fowls warm. The water we use in mix~
ing up the mash is always warmed in
winter.

Some people prefer to feed the mash
in the morning, with the grain feed at
night. This is all right if it is more
convenient, although we find that the
fowls take more exercise it they are
fed grains during the day. Birds usu-
ally fill up pretty freely on soft food,
being able to fill their crops in just a.
few moments without exercise. This
makes no difference in the evening
when the fowls are about ready to go
to roost, but in the davtime we want
them to scum h and rustle around and
exercise while eatinv.

attribute the increased quality of their
herd to the fact that they were able to
properly care for the calves, fall born.

But winter conditions bring their
own problems and diiiiculties, yet there
are also some possible advantages‘be-
side those mentioned. While the herd
has to be kept under artificial condi-

since all may be spread directly upon ~

t_ THE MICHIGAN FARMER

1clligan State .Grange

1‘! Monday evening, December 8.
7, for the first time in two years
‘ Michigan State Grange assembled
at Saginaw'for a four-days’ session.

Nearly 'all the subordinate and Po-
mona. Granges throughout the state
were representedby delegates, the av-
erage being at least four or more from
each'county, and double that number
from the stronger Grange sections.

All the officers were present at the
opening except the gate-keeper, Peter
Klees, who was sick at his home in
Crystal.

As usual the first day was devoted
to registration, examining credentials
of delegates and listening to the Mas-
ter’s address. Master John C. Ketch-
am read this during the Tuesday after-
noon session and it seemed to even
more than satisfy the large assembly
of officers, delegates and visitors. Very
briefly we Quote therefrom:

“The Grange organization in every
possible way rendered service during
the war. Our halls were used as cen-
ters for Red Cross Work, and as rally-
ing points for patriotic gatherings of
every kind. Our local Grange mem—
bers served as chairmen 'of committees
and as leaders of every sort of “drive.”
Our speakers gave up their time al-
most exclusively to the constantly re-
curring publicity campaigns in bondgis-
sues, war funds and food conservation.
Several of our leaders were called to
high places of trust in state and na~
tion and added honor to the Order and
earned lasting credit for themselves by
the splendid service they rendered.
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps were purchased by State, Po-
mona and Subordinate Granges. Boys,
girls and women answered the call for
increased acreage in food and feed
crops and one hundred and three per
cent of a normal acreage measured the
result. ,But greatest of all was the gift
of Grange sons to the cause of liberty
and freedom. Service flags on the
walls of many Grange halls tell the
story of service and sacrifice in their
stars of blue, and not a few gold stars
‘speak of the supreme investment made
'by stalWart sons that mightmiay reign
supreme, ‘ .. .» .

“Two Grange.a'tieoniplishments in

with their training as public speakers. ~

proved that women can be the equal of

men in public places of honor and,
responsibility. The large vote for equal '

suffrage is’partly due to the Grange.

' “Another draWback to Grange work
in Michigan for the past two years
has been the startling number of re-
movals from the farms, due to the won-
derful development of Michigan’s mot-
or industry, and the consequent de—
mand for labor. It is doubtful if an-
other state is affected inthis regard as.
is Michigan. Her great manufacturing
centers- are clamoring for houses,
rents are sky-high and any sort of hab-
itable quarters are almost impossible
to obtain. People are living in tents,
shacks and all sorts of make-shifts for
a home, while empty farm houses are
becoming all too common. Farm auc-
tion sales crowd the days. Where
such .conditions develop in a Grange
community the effect is disastrous.

“The high wages in the motor indus-
tries have drawn away the young men
from the farms so that long hours and
steady application to busineSS has been
required from those who remain. Tired
bodies and discouraged minds are not
the best material from which to build
or maintain a thriving Grange. These
conditions have likewise- made it im-
possible to marshal the faithful work—
ers to go to the aid of Granges need-
ing help. Crops must be planted, culti—
vated and harvested and stock must be
cared for. Home work must be done
“first things first.

“The year being legislative year, un-
usual attention was paid to this im~
portant part of Grange work. Brother
J. W. Hutchins, chairman of the State
Grange executive committee, was des-
ignated to give personal attention to
pending legislation and to give aid and
support to those legislators who intro-
duced bills in which the Grange had
any interest. His former experience
as a state senator made his services
particularly valuable in the prepara-
tion of material for hearings, in ar-
ranging hearings and in keeping track
of the progress bills were making. Spe-
cial acknowledgement is likewise-due

price for sugar beets after a sharp
controversy between the growers’ com;
mittee and the manufacturers. Direct
appeal was made to the food adminis-
tration of both state and nation. The
demands. of the growers were met and
1 the price of beets this year is to av—
erage $12 per ton. This means an in—
_ crease in Michigan of at least two and
a half million dollars. The price was
$6 per 'ton when the Grange. took up
'the fight in ‘1918. Every beet grower
in Michigan ought to be an ardent
champion of the Grange.

“The Grange rallied to the support of
women suffrage and Grange women,

fore that organization and present the
Grange views upon legislation.

“The Grange joined with the Glean-
ers and Farmers’ Clubs in the forma—
tion of a federated committee of nine
members for the purpose of securing
more effective legislative work. Later
on the Farm Bureau organization was
asked to join in the work.

“The warehouse amendment was
drawn in absolute good faith after con-
sultation with consumers. It was de-
signed to help both producers and con-
sumers and to mark a real construc-
tive step in the perplexing problem of

of hauling.

This hauling cost is most expensive
during the Spring of the yeah—A5121!
expensive in the winter, when the
roads are hard, when the horses are idle,
when your time can best be spared
for this work.

{it niay ndt be generally knOWn that

the B3lgian bieed is the oldest in ex-
iStenCe today. This fact is proven by
history, Which tells us that during the
reign of Henry VIII, King of England,
it Was learned that on the low lands

3 31‘ Belgium, bordering upOn the sea-
:shore, there existed the largest and
1dra'ftiest horses on the eastern conti-

nent. To start the breed in England
King Henry encouraged several Eng-

lish breeders to cross the North Sea

into Belgium and pui‘Chas‘e a number
of larger Belgian stallions and mares,
Which were offered for expOrt. This
resulted in the improvement of the
equine race in England and the com-
mencement of draft horse breeding on
the British Isles.
Belgian Draft Horses Still Lead.

' History also pro‘Ves that the French
draft breeds originated from the same
section of country—the western bor-
ders of Belgium. That these Belgian
horses are still in the lead during the
present century is claimed by many

more than tWo hundred highbred" B31;
glan horses on this big farm, which
may be seen at any time by thuse in“-

is a circumstance of considerable 11114
portan‘ce to horse breeders and farm
ers generally, as the purchase or the
best breeds in America right h'ere in
Michigan avoids the risk of shipping
from distant points in other states.
These Belgians are perfectly at
hOme in Michigan, a fact which is evi-
dent from a casual inspection of the
young stock of stallions and mares
raised at the Prairie Farm. Colts at.
weaning time often weigh one thou-
sand pounds, While some yearlings go
to eighteen hundred pounds. There
are two-year—old mares weighing a tan,
a fact which substantiates the asser-
tion that bigger horSes are being rais~
ed in Michigan at the various ages
stated than in Belgium, where the
breed originated. Champions of bOth
sexes are being produced, and it was
an American bred mare, owned in
Michigan, which at the age of four
years Won the grand championship at;
the Michigan State Fair/in 1918, over
imported mares from Michigan, Indi-

Belgian stallion Deve d’Or 7406. The
champion draft mare of the Paris Ex-
position of 1900 was the Belgian mare
Caline II.

The Best Belgian Blood in Michigan.
.. In reading this brief account of the
Royal Bred Belgian Draft horses, We
Can scarcely imagine this Splendid
breed as being perfectly represented
in our OWn state. But it is a fact thor-
oughly proven by numerous awards at
‘state and interhatidnal.
that no state in the UniOn, or any

' breeders in Ameriéa, have better blood

in their stallidns and brood mares than
are bred in Michigan. In this regard
the great Prairie Farm in Saginaw
county, With its seven thousand acres
of landvunder cultivation stands in the
lead and has the largest number of
Belgian horses at regular farm work
and for sale.

The ’farm has offspring of the great

fbr many years, an animal Which
3very breeder recognized as one of the

exhibitions,‘

ciaily worthy of note:

Sans Peur de Hamel, N0. 3446, was
grand champion in 1915, 1916 and 1917
at the Michigan State Fair, and, grand
Champion over all breeds in 1916. in
show condition he weighed tWenty-
three hundred and seventy-five pounds.
Grade mares off him have sdld at $350,
at three years old. The Prairie‘Farnl
has over one hundred animals off hlf'Il.

of them in action. He has improved
drafthorses in Saginaw county, and

his colts are seen everyWhere, Sofie

far'me1s having driven their mares as
far as thirt\ miles to get them bred to
this great home.

Rubis, N0. 8004, is one of the best
Belgian types eyerimported. He. is
heavily boned and strongly muscled—-
fOundations of all the best breeds of
heavy draft horses. He was champion

Belgium; and many noted breeders in
"that country declared it a mistake to
let him go out of Belgium, as they rec-
ognized his value as a sire. There are
many colts of Rubis in Saginaw and
adjoining counties, and some at the
big farm which are a decided credit
to the race. Three-year-olds off him
weigh close to a. ton; two-year-olds
eighteen hundred pounds and over.
There'is a colt off him at seven months
weighing nine hundred and fifty which
was Reserve Champion, junior class,
1918, at the Michigan State Fair. He
was out of Marquerite de l’Epine, No.
'3674, a granddaughter of Indigene du
Fosteau.
Anyonewho has ever seen the Grand
- Champion of Belgium, which brought
fame to the breed, will easily recognize
Marguerite de I’Epine as one of the
champion’s blood. She shows the same
compact qualities of bone and sinew
which distinguishes this famous strain,
and it is a matter of congratulation
that Michigan possesses so valuable a
mare.

Flossie, No. 4964, the grand champi-
on mare at the Michigan State Fair,
1918, went up against imported mares
that had won grand championships,
but even at the age of four years de-
feated them. She stood third at the
International at Chicago in 1917, as a
three-year-old. She has all the quali-
ties possessed by a good brood mare,
and is greatly admired for her style
and action.

Soleil Lavant, No. 9340, will make a
twenty-two hundred and fifty-pound
horse when matured. He holds the
junior championship at the Michigan
State Fair, and is plenty good enough
to head. a pure-bred stable. He is a
son of Rubis and out of a twenty—one
hundred pound mare whose grand sire
was Soleil Lavant, the kind that made
the Belgian breeders proud of their
stock.

Prospects for Great World Demand.

The Belgian exhibits at the state
fairs last fall, where great crowds gath-
ered, again prove the popularity and
demand for the Belgian draft horse.
During the past years of the war, when
we would naturally suppose that the
American Association of Importers and
Breeders of Belgian draft horses, the
only official stud book for Belgian hors-
es in the United States, would have
little business to transact on account
of conditions in Belgium, and the fact
that no horses have been imported
from that country during the war, and
probably will not be for years to come,
if ever, business since 1914 has been
the best in the past thirty years, and
never in the history of the association
have there been more sales and trans
ters and at as high prices. '

Breeders. --- By J. Cooke Mil/i".

The.reasons for this are obvious to
all conversant with the conditions in
this country. The public has seen the
heavy Belgian horse developed from a.
rough and \rugged animal, such as
were imported twenty-five or thirty
years ago, to a finished product, and of
the kind that have since been purchas-
ed by the American importer in the
prize ringsof Belgium and from which
foundation, coupled with the skill of
the American breeder, has been pro-
duced and perfected the magnificent
Belgian draft horse of today Because
of this he is accorded by the Ameri-
can public a high place among all the
draft breeds. Furthermore, he is pro
tected by a registry association whose
records have never been questioned
and which are so complete that the
records show a detailed history and
abstract of title of every Belgian that
has been registered in the United
States since its organization in 1887.
No record has ever been made or is-
sued by the association that has not as
its foundation the kind of sworn proof
that would be accepted by every court
in this country. .

The demand from foreign lands is
also noted. The war demands were
heavy, the armies in the field using
more than six million horses, result-
ing in a great shortage for commer-
cial needs. The American farmer has
not been breeding his mares, with the
result of a diminution in the supply,
so that now there is almost a famine
in horses.

America to Restock Belgium.

As many of you know, the Belgian
government has had representatives
in this country looking for Belgian
horses with a View to their purchase
after the war. All draft horses not
used in the Belgian army were stolen
by the Germans and sold in their coun—
try at high prices. This left the home
country of the magnificent Belgians
stripped of their breeding stock, and
it is necessary to call upon the Unit-
ed States to furnish the high-grade
stallions and mares with which to re-
stock the country, so that her people
may carry on agricultural pursuits.
The very foundation and life of the na-
tion will depend on the ability of the
farmers and stockmen to produce the
foodstuffs and raw materials for the
homes and factories, and in which
draft horses are absolutely essential.

The United States must be prepar-
ed to supply the demand, as it is the
world’s market for draft horses; and
those who are doing their duty in the
production of Belgian draft horses will
reap the richest reward in the sale of
horses that the country has ever
known. That the great Prairie Farm

I . HE Minnesota State'KHorticultur-
- ' at Society, which recently held
_ its fifty-third annual meeting at

_ St Paul; dealt with‘ special features

whichshould be of interest to readers
of the Michigan Farmer.

There were from eight to twelve
speakers on every half-day program.
Secretary Lathavm said that the reason
heasked so many to take part was to
get as many short papers as possible
to publish in the annual report as only
about onesten‘th of the membership us-
ually attend the annual meeting. With
.so many persons on the program very

illttle time was left for questions and

discussion. Such an arrangement may

.2 :give those who do not attend the meet-
‘ ing a large amount of reading material
~but it does not permit an exhaustive
. treatise of any one subject.

Strawberries occupied a prominent
place on the program, the overbearing
sorts being very popular in that state

2 for the home garden. The hill "method

or the narrow matted row system are
most satisfactory. The Progressive
variety of everbearers is most com-
monly grown.

One paper on gooseberries showed

1 that from five hundred bushes the Own-
: er secured $432.70 in 1918 (sixth year)

and $511 in 1919 (seventh year). He

Tuesday evening the Men’s Garden
Club of St. Paul entertained the mem-
bers of the Horticultural Society. This
club is made up of some of the biggest
men in St. Paul. In 1912 there were
thirty members, in 1919 four hundred
members. They stage an annual meet-
ing at which there is an attendance of
about five'thousa’nd. One of the speak-

ers said that instead of‘decreasing the

demand for vegetables to the disadvan-

ftage of the commercial growers, they

had actually increased the demand for
fresh vegetables.

Wednesday’s program was turned
over to the Minnesota State Vegetable
Growers’ Association. The same situ-
ation faces the gardeners near St. Paul
and Minneapolis as the Detroit gard-

that does (not flourish on muck .is as-
paragus. This crop is grown, however,
on muck in California, but does not
seem to do well in Minnesota, The
water table under muck should be un-
der control so that it can be raised or
lowered as may- be desired. For the
first year and in some cases for several
years it is a good plan to grow potaf
toes or corn' on new muck soils. Pro-
fessor Alway believes in the use of a
light application of stable manure on
new muck soils. If there is a sufficient
amount of lime in the soil the nitrogen
will become available as fast as it is
needed. Sometimes only potash and
sometimes only phosphorus is lacking
and in other cases both are lacking. A
light coating of manure and a light
application of phosphoric acid and pot-
ash will usually supply all fertility
needs, providing there is sufficient lime
in the soil. He stated that when the

.right fertilization is given to the soil

potatoes of good quality can be grown
on muck.

Mr. Sestler, of Des Moines, Iowa,
told of his irrigation system. In ten
years there had not been a. single sea-
son when it was not needed at some
time during the season. He has his
pipes so placed that all can be drained
for the winter. He has so arranged
his piping that he can move the pipe
lines after each watering. He moves
lines one hundred and fifty to two hun-
dred feet in length without 'discdnnect-
ing them. ’

Professor Paul Work, formerly of
Cornell, but now doing special re-
search work at Minnesota University.
gave a talk which was an appeal to
the growers to cooperate with the ‘ex-
periment station in getting research
work accomplished. He gave the fol-
lowing suggestions:

1. Help the workers at the experi-
ment station to get acquainted with
your problems. . 4

2. Try out the results of experiment
station work as reported.

3. Cooperate with the station in car-
rying on experiments.

4. Let the legislature know you want
research work done along fruit and
vegetable lines. ‘

5. Send your sons to college as there
is a great need of research workers
who have been raised on vegetable and
fruit farms and who have been prep-
erly trained for careful research Work.

On Thursday, Mr. Frederic Crane-
field, secretary of the Wisconsin State
Horticultural Society gave a paper On
the subject of the commercial orchard
vs. the home Orchard. He believes that
fruit growing will'never be a profitable
side line to general farming, and that
farm orchards in the middle west ai'e
rapidly going out. . [If- you are a farmer

“ SAVE two to two and one-half hours daily on a 22-mile milk route with Goodyear
Cord Pneumatic Truck Tires and find milk travels in better condition than in my
solid-tired truck. Three teams would be required to do the same work done by
the pneumatic- tired truck.”—— Frank Leibel, Farmer, Newbrighton, Minnesota

MANY farmers, like the one quoted above,
know that a pneumatic-tired truck saves
much time, drudgery and expense. '

They know that this is a very valuable saving in
these days of high labor costs and When markets
must be reached more promptly than ever.

For pneumatic tires free a motor truck from the
handicaps imposed by solid tires; they give it
utmost traction and cushioning for all—around
utility.

Rural users of Goodyear Cord Pneumatic Truck
Tires load in the fields, reduce market hauls by
hours and get top prices‘for perishables and live—

stock, sometimes injured by slower, harder trans—
port.

By helping other power-driven farm machinery
to work to capacity, Goodyear-Cord-equipped
trucks enable farmers to secure the full benefit
of motorization.

While pioneering the development of pneumatic
truck tires Goodyear has widely investigated the
benefits secured by farmers employing them as
above.

Consequently, further information concerning
the use of pneumatic-tired trucks on farms may
be obtained frOm The Goodyear Tire 8?. Rubber
Company, at Akron, Ohio.

During the course of the meetings
many interesting and up-to-date sub-
jects in beekeeping were discussed. R.
H. Kelty, of East Lansing, spoke on
“A comparison of the climatic condi—V
tions of the upper and lower peninsu-

ing of bees.” Leonard S. Griggs, of
Flint, spoke on “SWarming and its Con-
trol.” The idea at the present time is

cessful beekeepers in the state, ex-
plained how to ship bees. He also took
up the question cf honey production.

She swallowed a lump in her th

robbed the W. & S. Express Co.”

Suddenly her face Went doWn into
her forearm on the table and 911118 be-
gan to rack her body. The hey, stag-
gere'd at this preposterous charge,
could only lay his hand On her shoul-
der ahd be‘g her not to cry. ,

“It’ll be all right, Kate. Wait till
Uncle Luck comes back“ He’ll make
’em sick for talking abdut h1m "

“But suppose he-suppose he—” She
da1ed not complete what was in her
11111111111111; perhaps he had been am-
bushed by some of his enemies and
killed.

“You bet they’lldrOp into a hole and
pull-it in after them when Uncle Luck
shows up,” the boy bragged With su-
preme confidence. .

His cousin nodded, choking down her
sobs. “Of course. It—it’ll come out
all right'—as soon as he finds out What.
t11ey'1e saying. Saddle two horses right
away, Bob. ” 1

“Sure. We’ll soon find where he is.
I bet you.”

The setting sun found their jomhey
less than half done. The brilliant r in-
bow afterglow of sunsetfaded to cold-
er tints, and then disappeared. The
purple saw-toothed 1ange softened to
a violet hue. With the coming of the
moon the hard, dry desert lost detail,
took on a loveliness of tone and dut-
line that made it an idealized painting
of itself. Myriads of stals Weie but.
so that the heavens seemed sewn With
them as an AriZona hillside is in
spiing With yellow poppies.

Kate was tortured with anklety, but
the su1pass1ng beauty that encompass-
ed them was somehow a comfort to
her. Deep within her something de-
nied that her father could be gone out
of a wo11d so geod. And if he weie
alive, Curly Flandrau would find him
—Curly and Dick between them. Luck
Cullison had plenty of good friends
Who would not stand by and see him
W1onged.

Any theory of his disappearance that
accepted his guilt did not occur to her
mind for all instant. The two Iiad been
very close to each other. Luck had
been in the habit of saying sm1lingly
that she was his majOrdomo, his right
bower. seine Share of his lawless fem-
perament She inherited, enough to teel
sure that this particular kind of Wrong—
doing Was impossible fbr him He Was
leek1éss,someumes passionate, but
she did not need to reassure herself
that he Was scrupulously honeSt.

This brought her back to the only
other tenable hypothesis—foul play.
And from this 'she 'shrank with a quak-
ing heart. For surely if his enemies
wished to harm him they would de:
stroy him, and this was a conclusion
against Which she fought desperately.

The plaza clock boomed ten strokes
as they rode into Saguach'e. Macken-

Curly came into the room, and the
girl rose to meet him. He took her
hand in his tanned, muscular one, and
somehow from his grip she gathered
strength. He would do all that could
be done to find her father, just as he
had done so much to save her brother.

“I’m so glad you’ve come,” she said
simply.

They talked the situation over to-
gether.

“As it looks to me, we’ve got to find
out two things—first, what has become
of your father, and, second, who did
steal that money.

. ‘Now you’re talking” Mackenzie
ag1eed.“l_always did say you had a

“I don’t see it yet, but theie s some

the robbery and his disappearance.”

“How do you mean?” Kate asked.

“We'll say the robbers were his ene-
mies—some of the Soapy Stone outfit
maybe. They have got him out of the
way to satisfy their grudge and to
make people think he did it. Unfortu—
nately there is evidence that makes it
look as if he might have done it—what
they call corrobOrating testimony.”

Billie Mackenzie scratched his gray
poll. “Hold on, Curly. This notion of

leaving is what the other .side is tying
to. Don’t we Want to think different

' “We do. They think he is guilty.

Curly waved the sheriff aside. “It

She took the paper, glanced at it
mechanically, and kicked at the sher-

“Tum that envelope or e1, Miss Cul-
liSon. Notice how he has written there
half a dozen times in a row, “$20,000!
and just below it. tvvice, "W. & S. Ex.

She read it all. read it with a heart
heavy as lead. and knew that there he
had left his oxvn strong, bold handwrit-
ing convincing evidence against him-
self. sun, she did not doubt him in
the least. but there could be no ques-
tion now that he knew of the intended
shipment, that absent-mindedly he had
jotted down this data while he was
thinking about it in connection with his
own debts.

The sheriff went on tightening the
chain cf evidence in a voice that for
all its kindness seemed to her remorse
less as fate. “It turns out that Mr. Jor--
dan of the Cattlemah’s National Bank

couldn’t let him have it. Every bank
in the city jrefused him a loan. Yet
next morning he paid off two thousand
dollars he owed from a poker game.”
“He must haVe berrowed the money
from someone,” she said weakly.
“That money he paid in twenty-dol~
lar bills. The stolen express package
was in twenties. You know yourself

that this is a gold country. Bills ain’t,

not convince the others 01' this. The
story of how the tortoise beat ihe‘hare
in a race, because the latter had lain
down to sleep on the way, was an old
joke among the rabbits, and Spotted
Tail’s excuses only aroused mirth and
derision. d
No, clearly, Spotted Tail could not
redeem his lost glory by challenging
Bumper to another race. But there
were other; ways to discredit him in
the eyes of his people.

“Oh, Bumper, King of the rabbilslf’
lie exclaimed one day in mock court-
esy. “The Lion is called the King of
the beasts, and he won that title by
his bravery and courage. Do you think
that should make one king?”
"Courage is a quality that every
king and leader should have,” replied
Bumper cautiously.

“Greater than that of any of his sub-
jects?’ '

Bumper hesitated, for he feared a
trap; but when all the others looked
at him, waiting upon his words, he felt
that he had to assent.

“Yes, I suppose he 'should be the
bravest of his people.” ‘

“Then,” smiled Spotted Tail, “you
must be the bravest of all the rabbits

Rabbit ever was, or any of the young
ones here.”

“Then you shouldn’t be king. Isn’t

that the law of the woods?”

that he had had in mind for some days.
“Suppose, then,” he added, still smil-
ing, “we cross, one by one. Swinging
Bridge, and those who get over safely
will be entitled to be called brave.”
There was a gasp of surprise and
consternation. Swinging Bridge was a
small tree that had fallen across Rocky
Ford Where the river (‘lll deep through
a narrow gorge. The tree seemed almost
suspended in mid~air by the vines and
bushes, and was very dangerous. Ev~
ery wind swung it back and forth like
a hammock strung between two trees.
No rabbit had ever dared to cross it.
It was supposed to be an impossible
feat. The tree was so small and slip-
pery that it afforded small chance for
an animal without claws to walk across
it. It hung fifty feet from the river’s

”bed SO that a fall from it meant almost

sure death. .

It was foolhardy to try it. Bobby
Gray Squirrel could run across it eas-
ily, but that was because he had claws
with which to cling to it. Sleepy the
Opossum and W'asher the. Raccoon
could likewise walk across the bridge
without fear of falling. But for a rab-
bit, Whose feet were not made to climb,
it was a dangerous undertaking.

“Oh, no, not that!” exclaimed Fuzzy
VVuzz shuddering.

“Why not?” asked Spotted Tail. “it
will be a wonderful record for any rab—
bit who can do it. What do you say,
Bumper?"

“I’m willing if you are,” Bumper re-
plied, feeling that he could not with?

“No ,” interrupted Bumper, “we’ll not

Bridge first.”

The decision was accepted with ap-
plause, and the rabbits trooped
. thrOugh the woods to Swinging Bridge;
Bumper’s first sight of it made hlm‘=
shiver. It was worse than he had imag-
ined. The eha-s‘m was at least thirty:
feet across, and the butt end of the:
tree was not more than eight inches in
diameter, While the smaller end seem-
ed to dwindle away into a mere whip.
In fact, the tree could neVer have re-'

_“I’ll begin on this end,” Bumper said,

in one tremendous hep. That would
be crossing the bridge, for nothing in
the terms had been said about the
manner of going.

While the others held their breath.
and Fuzzy VVuzz shock and trembled
with fear, Bumper hopped on the tree,
and began making his way slole
along. He dared not look below where
the river rolled and tossed over the
rocks. He kept his eyes on the crotch
ahead.

He reached this without accident.
Then paused. The rest of the way,
was too perilous for any rabbit to pro-I
ceed. Spotted Tail smiled to himself.
He knew that it would be the last of'
the white rabbit if he attempted it.

Bumper cropched low, fastened his,
hind feet firmly in the crotch, and then
leaped into the
Fair in one tremendous spring that car
ried him clear across to the other side.
His heart Was heating at a. lively rate,
but when he realized that he had per-

T’S an ill Wind that blows no-whar,’
I says Sambou
high prices and labor
which the war has left in its train
should blow along with it, its compen-
sating measure of gain. I’ve an idea
that no small amount of that gain is
.going to come about in a revival of
neighborliness, helpfulness and coop-
eration. Everybody being in the same
boat, so to speak, the only way out is
to turn in andhelp each other. And
the result cannot help but be a partial
return at least, to the ways of our for—
bears, when, lacking hired help, neigh-
bors exchanged work and community
life took the place of joy rides and
movies. '

In the towns there is a suspicion of
it already among mothers of small
children. How are you going to get
down town to shop or to a show or
out to a party, when yu can‘t get help
for love or money and the children are
too young to leave? Prior tothis dearth
of workers, if you didn’t keep a girl,
you could always hire someone to come
in for an afternoon or evening. But
now it is almost impossible to do that.
As a result, mothers, who not so very
long ago would never have asked a
neighbor for ;a favor, are beginning to
help one another out by exchanging
services. Mrs. Jones takes Mrs. Smith’s
Sally for Monday, and Mrs. Smith re-
turns the favor Tuesday. As a result
each woman discovers that the other
is really human. Other little courtes-

' ies follow, and instead of looking the
other way when they meet in the street
the two women get acquainted and dis-
cover they have many interests in
common.

In a certain country district in Mich-
igan the idea 'is being worked out on a
still more comprehensive scale. It all
happened at a quilting bee. Now quilt-
ing bees are neither new nor original.
They have been held from time imme-
morial, but the idea which grew out of
this one has a decided element of new-
ness. The women had a wonderfully
good time, and when it came time to

leave, someone wished they might
have another quilting party the next
week.

“I haven’t a quilt to tie, but I’ve got
a bushel of stockings you might darn,”
the mother of six said jokingly.

“Why not?" two or three women
said at once, “we’ll just do that.”

“0, no,” prorested the first woman.
“I wouldn’t think of having you do my

mending.”
“What difference does it make
whether we pull darning cotton

through a stocking or through a quilt ?”
argued a friend. “It is work either
way, and if mending will help you
more than quilting, we’ll all come.”

“Then I’ll give you your dinner,"
said the first woman.

“Indeed you won’t,” chorused the
crowd. “What help would it be to
mend for you if you had to spend the
whole day cooking for us. W'e’ll all
bring something and have a pot-luck
dinner. You make tea or coffee, and
we’ll bring our own dishes and take
' them home to wash. In that way, no
one will have much to do.”

. So it was settled, and the neighbor-
:Qnood club has ”become a regular insti-
r'tutlon. Every week they go to some
some and do just what will be most

the amateur worker will have no diffi-

two shuttles or with one shuttle and

No. 4 is the trefoil stitch, known to

used only for the chain stitches. The
trefoil is formed of two plain loops
with a fancy loop between them, and

rows. The loops are joined together

by their first picots, and the trefoils
are joined together by the second picot

THE TROUBLESOME COLD.

"BY EMMA GARY WALLACE.

HEN winter comes upon us,
many people succumb to annoy-
ing colds. As a rule, there are
very good reasons for this affectation.

It is a strange but human character-
istic that most people do not like to
lay off their easy-to-put—on summer un-
derwear, and to get into the heavier-
weight garments. In fact, many pride
themselves on wearing the same under-
garments summer and winter, arguing
that it saves trouble, and they do not
feel the need of making a change. In
certain parts of the world this may be
all right, but we are not; living in the
tropics. if we are to continue living
in health in the temperate zone, we
should imitate nature and dress ac-
cordingly.

The birds seek a. warmer climate,
and the animals who stay here put on
a heavier coat for the (winter season.
Even the fields welcome a thick, warm
coverlet of white. And why should the
human family try to toughen itself
through exposure, and the dangers of
pneumonia. Men are more sensible
in this regard than women, for their
underwear and outer garments, too, are
of a type to protect the body instead
of expose it.

Surely the sensible thing to do is to
dress according to the weather, and
there is no gainsaying the fact that
anyone who faces wintry blasts partly
clad, soon gets to have a weatherbeat-
en look, which does not add to one’s
loveliness.

It is better to have artificial heat
even if the windows have to be left
open, than to sit in damp, chilly rooms.
Children are particularly susceptible
to colds. They are nearer the floor
and more in drafts, and young children
are more sensitive to respiratory trou-
bles than older people who have devel-
oped a certain amount of resistance.

Another cause of‘ colds is dressing
over- -warmly. Sometimes careful par-
ents are to blame here, in that they
load their children down with wraps
so heavy that when the. children be?
come active in play, they perspire free-
ly. Then‘ if they sit down on the

.ground or the steps, or come in and

take off their wraps and the house is
cool, they catch cold. A child’s head
should never be damp with perspira—_

the germs enter. Extra care should be
taken at this time in cleaning the
teeth, and the system should be kept

A suitable gargle is made by taking
one part hydrogen of peroxide, two
parts of listerin'e, and three parts of
water, or a few drops of liquid synol
soap shaken into one-fourth cup of wa-
ter Will do nicely for both gargle and
tooth wa‘sh. Oil of eucalyptus used as
a nose spray has proved a decided
benefit.

If the System \becomes Weakened
from a severe cold, the likelihood of
catéhing more is greater, and not only
is the general health and nutrition im-

paired, but the likelihOOd of contract-

ing epidemic or seaSonable diseases is
greatly increased.

An old rule warned, “Keep the feet
dry, and the head cool,” in order to
avoid colds. This is equivalent to say-
ing, be careful of damp feet, do not
overheat your rooms, and see to it that
they are sufficiently well ventilated so
that the air is pure night and day. Ex-
hausted, breathed over air and a high
temperature are among the conditions
to be avoided.

Where there is a marked suscepti-
bility to cold, it may not be sufficient

ITH the unanimous expression
from all delegates attending the
, Sheep: Extension Conference,
that the meeting was a. signal success
and that the discussion of vital topics
affecting the sheep raising industry,
has brought about the much desired
closer relationship between the differ-
ent state agricultural colleges and, the
Department of Agriculture at Washing-
ton, the third annual meeting of sheep
extension specialists came to an end
at the Sherman House, Chicago.

Twenty- -one representatives were ac-
credited from as many states. They
had come at the invitation of the De-
partment of Agriculture. From Wash-
ington three men, prominently identi-
fied in the specialization of sheep and
cattle raising, came laden with valu-
able data, formulated plans for the ad-
vancement of the industry rated to be
one of the most important in agricul-
tural circles and to meet these experts
the delegates from the state agricul-
tural colleges from many states arriv-
ed at Chicago for the purpose of giv-
ing first-hand information concerning
sheep raising to the governmental rep-
resentatives. The conference was call—
ed at a time considered the most ad-
vantageous of any time of the year,
inasmuch that beginning November 29
and extending to December 5 many as-
sociations, record, breeders, registry,
live stock, horse, publicity, etc, were
scheduled to be held at Chicago. All
of these meetings in some degree hing-
ed on the famous International Live
Stock Exposition at the international
Amphitheater, Union SLOck Yards.
Among the eight hundred individual
entries at the exposition some were
notable sheep entries. Naturally the
sheep raisers l‘ound added zest in com-
bining their own important event with
that of cattle and horsemen from all
parts of the United States.

The session of the sheep extension
men lasted three days. Thursday, the
opening day, was ushered in by roll
call and an opening, rallying meeting
at which was outlined the program
covering the three days’ deliberations.

.R. Marshall, of the Depa1tment of
Ag1icultu1e, Washington, discussed the
development of the sheep business,
outlining the work from its inception
and leading up to the present-day meth~
ods. G. H. Bedell, also of the agricul-
tural department, outlined the Bureau
of Animal Industry’s part in sheep
extension, going into the details of the
government’s activities in this direc-
tion. D. A. Spencer, of Missouri, T.
C. Stone, of Iowa, and H. E. Haslett,
of Amherst, Mass, gave a. valuable
oral demonstration on yearly sheep
management in their respective states.
C. Harper of Lafayette, Indiana, G. L.
Bigeford, of Mississippi, and R. P. Rite,
of Tennesee, described lamb feeding
and its essentials.

Friday’s session was given over to
discussion and actual demonstration
work of sorting and handling sheep in

Washington. COmmision salesman and
packerbuyers were heard on the sub-
ject and, an interchange of ideas re-
sulted from' this important branch of
sheep handling. Later definite plans
of organization, discussion of associa- ,
tions in their relation to the sheep ex-
tension conference and discussion by
individuals of their particular connec—,
tion with the varied associations bear- '
ing on sheep, cattle and hogs, and the .
entire subject’s relation to sheep ex-
tension work, was threshed out in de-
tail by M. J. Smith, of New York state,
Max Coll, of College Station, Texas,
and D. A. Spencer of Columbia, Mis-
souri.w Under this subject county or-
ganizations were discussed and the
place of the sheep specialists was des-
ignated in this important work. George
Evans, of North Carolina, E. L. Shaw,
of West Virginia, and G. P. Williams,
of Baton Rouge, La, brought 11p the
subject of introducing of breeding
stock; L. L. Heller assistant secretary
of the National W'ool Growers’ Associ-
ation, and C. G. Potts, of the Wash—
ington bureau, told how increased
lamb consumption can be encouraged;
R. P. Hite, E. L. Shaw and H. E. Has-
lett told the conference what can be
done to help pure brecding.

Saturday’s business opened with
talk on the developing of sheep exten-
sion work in the different states with
the assistance of county agents and
live stock extension force, under the
auspices of a committee, including W.
A. Lloyd, county‘agent ofl‘ice, States’
Relations Service, Washington; D. A.
Spencer, and Dr. L. Sherman Cleaves,
of Maine. A. G. Skinner, Storrs, Conn”
C. Harper, of Lafayette, lndiana, and
C. G. Elling, of Manhattan, Kansas,
gave a very notable. exposition of farm
meetings, exhibit of materials, local
demonstrations and the necessary ma«
terial to carry on demonstrations. G.
H. Bedell opened the question of dock—
ing and castrating and it Was decided
that it was better to encourage more
docking and castrating. Shearing,
culling and drenching ended the topics
affecting sheep work. Later everybody
visited the National W'ool Warehouse.
At night, as a last official work of the
conference, boys’ and girls’ club work
was discussed and methods of getting
publicity work done effectively to aid
sheep extension werk in county and
state and nation-wide propaganda was
decided upon. R. SMITH.

An uneasy, weary, watching calf will
seldom be a thriving one. The sense
of bodily ease and comfort is essential
in the care of stock. it would be well
if we would ask ourselves how certain
lines of care and treatment would suit
us if we were in the place of our ani-
mals. All animals, man included, have
much in common; and this fact should
be kept in mind when we are caring
for and feeding our live stock.

coupled with its high protein content.
In the absence‘of silage or roots at
grain ration something like this should
be used: Bran, forty parts; ground
oats or barley, twenty parts; corn meal
twenty parts; oil meal twenty parts.
And in mixing the rations a pair of

. farm scales will aid in adding profits,

weighing the grain for each cow and
the milk that she produces. It is usu-
ally admitted that occasional weighing
is worth while as showing whether a
cow is a. “boarder” 0. not, but those
who have kept a. complete milk record
realize the value of such a. method to
tHe feeder.

It is a safe rule to foed ten to fifteen
pounds of hay, twenty—five to fortyvfive
pounds of silage, or thirty to fifty
pounds of roots, varying the quantities
according to the size and capacity of
the cow. In addition, one pound of the

The ‘profitable feeding of dairy cows

: consists of supplying them with plenty

   

of wellbalanced, palatable feed, in sur-
‘roundings which afford them health
and comfort. Nature gives the dairy—
man a model in feeds in the month of
June and this is recognized to such an
extent that the very words. “June pas-
ture,” suggests the ideal condition for
producing milk and butterfat of the
highest quality and in greatest abund-
ance. The dairyman should, therefore,
endeavor to extend these more ideal
conditions throughout as much of the
year as possible, and will succeed just
«as far as he recognizes and applies the
“factors which go to make up the ideal
conditions.

In the first place, the common grass-
=es supply all the required nutrients in
the proper proportions.

 
 

 

an extent that they will consume it al.
most to the limit of their capacities.
Then again, pasture grasses are suc—
culent and so keep the digestive sys-

tem of the animal in a laxative condi-j

tion favorable for the very best action
of the organs of digestion and assim-
ilation. We must not forget that ani-
mals on “June pasture” are supplied
with an abundance of fresh air and
:sunlight, not to mention pure water at
will.

JERSEYS

Which is the best dairy breed?
Michigan'Jersey breeders feel
that this question has been
‘answered many times.
Jersey superiority was prov-
en at the Chicago, St. Louis,
and Ohio tests when large
'lierds from different breeds
were'tested for a year, and
the Jersey led them all.
Many beginners like to do
~ their own experimenting. but
that takes time and is usually
very costly.

 

The question of superiority-
being settled leads us to the
point of offering you the ben-
.efit of our years of exDeri-
ence. \Ve know you can sue-
ceed with Jerseys and we are
willing to' help you get a good
start.

Write to, or call upon, any
Jersey breeder in Michigan
for assistance The way to
get ahead is to go ahead.
Start with Jerseys now!

11111111311111! in quality before marketing;
211111011in comparatively few stockmen
are making their swine heavy, hogs
weighing up to 300 pounds being few.
The greater part of the offerings reach-
ing the Chicago market have been fat-
tene‘d on the new corn crop, and many
droves averaging from 180 to 200
pounds are showing ‘up daily. Enough
heavy hogs are offered to meet the de-
mand, hoWever, and the highest prices
are paid for the lighter weights, with
the bulk of‘the hog sales within a
range of forty. cents, and light and
heavy butchers selling very close to-
gether. Fluctuations in prices are fre-
quent and wide, sharp advances being
followed by as severe declines, with
provisions following hogs in their ups
and downs. The domestic consumption
of fresh and cured hog products con-
tinues very large, despite the high pric-
es asked, for prises are still far above
normal, notwithstanding the large re-
ductions from the figures quoted a
year ago. Within a short time pork
for January delivery has sold about $13
a barrel lower than a year ago, with
similarly large reductions in prices for
lard and short ribs. The export trade
in provisions has fallen off materially
of late, because of the great fall in
foreign exchange, rendering many for-
eigners unable to make the large pur-
chases so much needed. Stocks of pro-
visions are ample, stocks in Chicago
warehouses being larger' than a year
ago of hog meats, while much smaller
of lard. Pigs are selling at a large dis-
count from the prices paid for hogs,
and no large numbers are marketed,
most own'ers preferring to mature
them« A year ago hogs were selling
at $16.50@17.80 and two years ago at
$16.15@17.~35, prices Which make pres-

ent prices appear low; but three years.

ago sales were made at $8.50@10,
while four years ago sales were at

Great value of Belgians to the Farmer.

that the farmer can have on his farm

FIRST EDITION.

. The markets in this edition were re-
vised and corrected on Tuesday after-
.noon, December 23.

WHEAT.

Receipts of wheat are heavy, which

ment to the mills. The wheat is com-

ing from the southwest. The wheat,
market here is holding its fi1mness,
but millers report bux ers pretty well
filled up with 60111. Detroit quota-

No. 1 white ............. 2.46
No. 2 red ‘ 2.45
No. 3 red

CORN.

The corn market is decidedly dull.
There is little buying and every indi-
cation of an increase in supplies. The
decreased receipts at Chicago have
proved a disappointment and the mar-
ket is showing some signs of strength,
although reports of corn on track have

had a tendency to keep prices down. '

The market at Chicago for future corn
held pretty well, but cash deals were
reported easy. The local corn market
lost one and two cents and the tone is
easy. The Detroit prices are as fol-
lows: .

Cash No. 3 ............. $1.50

No. 3 yellow ............ 1.52

No. 4 yellow 1.48

No 5 yellow ............ 1.44

No. 6 yellow ............ 1.4-0

In Chicago No. 3 mixed corn is quot-

ed at $1.44; No. 2 yellow, old $1.53;
January 31.37%; May $134112.

OATS.

Oats are firm and in light supply.
The market has been strengthened by
reports of heavy shipments for export.
Present quotations in Detioit are

RYE.

A good cash demand and the activ-
ity of buyers is causing dealers to look
forward to a large export business. A
feature of the rye trade is the selling
in Chicago of May rye around $1.78
Local prices for cash No. 2 are $1.76.

BEANS.

The bean market is slightly improv-
ed with the demand well sustained. At
Detroit beans for prompt shipment are
quoted at $7.25 per cwt for hand-pick-
ed pea beans. At Chicago a moderate
demand exists with prices more firmly
held. Hand-picked, choice to fancy pea
beans being quoted at 87.50738 per cwt,
with red kidneys at $13.50@13.75 per
cwt. There is a general feeling that
prices will be maintained for the next

few weeks
HAY.

The hay market is firm and demand
is well sustained. Present values are
as follows: No. 1 timothy $29.50@30;
standard and light mixed $28.50@29;
No. 2 timothy $27.50m728; No. 1 mixed

WOOL

The wool trade has experienced a:
quiet week since the auction. sale of
government holdings." The Speculative
movement in scoured and pulled sorts
has subsided. Activity in the medium
sorts continues to be post.,poned while
the scarcity of fine wool continues to
be more pronounced. The strength of
the market is being maintained and
higher prices are predicted in the near
future. Some sales of three -eighths
blood combing have been reported at
68 and 69 cents for Michigan and New
York fleeces, one-half blood at 80 and
82 cents and fine delaine at 87 to 90
cents per pound. A few buyers secur-

ed some substantial lots of Cape wool

to advantage.

food distribution. The opponents as
a. last ditch frightened enough votes
to defeat the bill.

“A proposal to amend the state con-
stitution to permit the classification of
property for the purpose of taxation
was earnestly opposed. Heeding the
admonition of leading tax authorities ‘
concerning the narrowing base of taxa— .
tion ,the rapidly increasing tax budg-
ets and the, necessity of discovering
new fields of taxation, the federated
committee supported the proposal to
amend the state constitution so that a
state income tax similar to federal in-
come tax might be levied in Michigan.

-I t did not pass and probably will not"

until the heavy buidens of war are
somewhat lightened.

“The Giange thiough the federated»
committee secui ed the passage of the
counter-proposal of J. W. Hutchins
providing that in fifty-fifty counties in
each one hundred dollars spent on
trunk line roads the federal appropria-
tion should be fifty dollars, the state
twenty-five and the county twenty-five.
What this means in 'a specific case is
shown by Washtenaw this year. Six
hundred thousand dollars is going
spent on a trunk line road. Under the
law which we opposed the federal gov-
ernment and Wasthenaw county would
each have paid $300,000. Under the
law which we did favor, and which
passed, the federal government put in'
$300,000 and the state and county each
$150,000, a saving to Washtenaw of
$150,000.

“It is enough to say that public opin-
ion supported the Grange contention
last spring, both in convention and at
the polls, to place our worthy state lec-
turer on the state board of agriculture‘
January 1, and will bring to that im- ’
portant body not only the viewpoint of
the farm women but also some voting
strength representative of the thought
of the actual farmers of the state con-
cerning the policies and program» of
the Michigan Agricultural College. We .
believe a. continuation of this program
should be followed until the control of ;
this great ineltitution passes completely .
into the hands of those who see’thq'j
needs of the farmers first, last and all
the time. As a matter of history it“
may be well to recmd here that

The acreage of rye has increased
rapidly in recent years; 910,000 acres
was the amount grown last year, which
nearly equalled the wheat acreage. andé
is the largest on record fer the state.‘
The popularity of the cron has been
dueto the high-yielding qualities of the
Bosch variety, the relatively high price,
of rye during the war, and its naturali
resistance to insect. pests and wint‘er-_
killing. ’With the decline in price and
the excellent wheat yield as compared
with that of rye this year. it has lost
some ’of its popularity and a decrease
of ten per cent in the acreage planted
this fall is the result. The conditihn is

cent, according to the kind of labor, .
since 1915. The average price paid to,

' 5 [that are James ‘

nipped, the increasing cost
and scarcity of labor is much

as a problem; for James Equip-
tnentmakes barn work easy‘.

James Equipment not only cuts
labor in two, but makes it possible
, {for children to do work that with-
hout ' James labor- saving devices

‘LLrVould require a man's strength;

_ “there time becomes almost play
_ time for boys who workin the barn.

Cleaning The Barn

The easy running James Carriers
turn the disagreeable, dirty task of
cleaning out the barn into a near-
pleasure. They make a boy’s job
of what used to be shirked by all—
‘and are an investment that pay
profits of 25% or more a year in
labor saved.

James Scrapers make quick work
of cleaning cement floors; the James
Stanchions, with the James Align-
ment Device, keep the stalls and
cows clean, by aligning the cows at
the. rear, so that manure falls in
the gutter and not on the platform.

Feeding The Cows

The easy way of feeding the
cows is the Jamesway—the James
Feed Truck or Feed Carrier, and
James Feed Mangers. Rolling eas-

ily along the track or on the cement.

.floor, the James Carrier or Truck
make unnecessary the lifting of
heavy baskets filled with feed. With
their blg, roomy tubs they save
much walking to and from the feed
rooms, and in a short time pay for
themselves in labor saved.

Watering The Cows

What a job this used to be in
wmter time—keeping a fire going
in the old time tank heater, or
breaking the ice in the tank so that
the cows could drink.

And how they hated to drink—

with the north wind howling, the
snow or sleet driving, and the
drinking water icy cold.
" No wonder the milk yield dropped in
winter time—for feed that should have
gone to make the milk was used to warm
the cow, and the water needed to make
milk was never drunk.

James Drinking Cups have changed ell
that. A sanitary cup for each cow pro-
vides fresh water day and night. It flows
in automatically as fast as the cows drink.

Water—the simplest means of increas-
ing milk yields—is often disregarded by
dairymen. Those who realize how greatly
milk flow is increased by James Cups are
reaping huge profits on their investment.

sports based on milk records of 28
herdsl(739 cows) for instance, show an
average increase per cow per day of 2.45
lbs. : This is 490 lbs. in 200 days, which at
83. 50 per cwt. totals $17.15; with a saving
0! $2. 50 per cow in labor and 55c in fuel.
That’ s a profit~o£ 400” ,o the first year.

Other reports and other investigations
confirm these figures. Ask us for the proof.
Then get James Cups busy right away
making these big profits for YOU.

“Airing” The Cows

Pure air is just as necessary to life
and production of milk
as feed and water.

And a cow needs
TWICE the weight
'0! AIR per day that
she dose of feed and
were: combined.

Do._ your cows get
enough-pure, fresh air?

.I‘éad, water and
v am" The food costs
money—loadit. But
water and sir are

 

 

 

 

free—the only expense is getting them to
the cow, and that amounts to very little.
The James Ventilators help get the foul
air out of the barn, help bring the fresh air
in to the cows. Ask {or full information
regardgng these wonderful ventilators and
about the James Ventilating System.

James Devices

There are many other James devices
that savelabor, increase milk ,yields, help
sanitation and improve cow health, such
as Cow, Calf and Bull Pens, Fe‘ed Mang—
ers, Calf Pail Holders, Sure-Stop Swing—
