Does Burnt Lime Chemically «Destroy,

Organic Matter?

First of all, let us examine the con-
tention that burnt lime destrois the
humus of the soil. Manifestly if burnt
lime is shown to have particularly del-
eterious effects not possessed by car—

bonatéwforms of lime, it does not have

an equal claim with the latter to use
by; the farmer. If on the other hand

hoes Burnt Lime DCSU‘OY HumUS?

Anotfler Old Tfleory Sem‘ to [be Scrap

by bulnt lime, appears in the May,

1919, number of the Journal of Soil
Science, published by Rutgeis College

of New Brunswick, and has just come
from the press. The subject of the pa-
per is the Carbonation of Burnt Lime
in the Soil. This particular investiga-
tion was carried on for the degree of
[Doctor of Philosophy at Cornell Uni-
versity.

From all his studies, including strong

solutions of both lump and hydrated
lime in contact with humus and other
organic material, and with soils both
under laboratory and field conditions,
he finds absolutely no .evidence of a
chemically destructive action of caus—

‘tic lime on organic matter.

Moreover it is to lie-noted that such
an‘ action is not recognized within the
range of processes of organic chemis-
try. Finally it_ should be remembered
that strong solutions of caustic (burnt)
lime are used in clarifying sugar, in
tanning leather and in making paper
by certain p1ocesses, without any
chemically destructive action'on the

ed from comparing plots that any rea-
sonable person now agrees should not
be compared. If any conclusion is to
be drawn from these Pennsylvania
plots with reference to the disappear-
ance of organic matter, it. is that less
disappeared from the .plots receiving

burnt lime than from the plot receiv-

ing limestone.
Caustic Lime Acts Quickly.

The second point to be kept in mind
is that caustic lime in the soil changes
in a few hours or a tow days at the
outside, into the carbonate and other
combined forms. 111 other words, it
either unites with the carbon dioxide
of the soil atmosphere and the soil
water an .l takes on the same chemical
form as limestone, or it unites with
the silicates and other materials in the
soil to form new chemical compounds
in which the lime bases perform their
function and seem to be effective to
meet the general needs for lime in the
soil. Therefore, even if a chemically
destructive action of caustic lime had
been shown, it would have no import,-

 

‘. of humus and that, to'quote a recent '

statement in a current trade paper, “It
attacks the organic matter as it at-

~ tacks one’s flesh and destroys it by
citing away

its substance through
chemical action ” The clear implica-
tibn of most of the statements of this
character is that both lump and hy-
drated lime are capable of destroying

, organic substance chemically by oxi-

dizing the carbon, as this is the only

‘ way theorganic substance can be real-

1y; destroyed It is presumed to be an
action like fire. No actual investiga-
tions are ever cited by the proponents
of the above criticism. 5,.

nized. Lime water is a solvent of cer-
tain substances, but they are no more
destroyed than when sugar is dissolv-
ed in water.

The Pennsylvania Data.

A popular practice is to present a
statement appearing in an old report
of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex-
periment Station indicating that where
burnt limo has been used on certain

ance beyond the few days before the
change to the combined form, and for
all the months and years after that
change it would be active in the same
manner as limestone, shells or marl.
Hence, the criticism loses force on
both counts unless carbonate forms of
lime in the soil shall also be regarded

as injurious. ‘

The objection to burnt lime evident-
ly rests on an imperfect mental analy-
sis of the changes and processes in-
volved. Let us now recognize clearly
that liming materials applied to the

"soil do result in a more rapid destruc~

Natural Decay by Soil Organisms.

It is widely recognized that lime car-
bonate promotes the growth and activ—
ities of most. of the small organisms in
the soil, just as it promotes the growth
of highei plants wheie theie is short~
age of suitable alkaline materials.
Those organisms feed upon the organic
substance just as the higher animals
feed on plant and animal substances
and in the process of nourishment and
associated changes. the organic sub-
stance is destroyed. By breaking down
the fresh plant and animal substance
in the soil with the lorination of hum—
us and other soluble material’s, its con-
stituents are made available to crops
that may be growing in the soil and
the soil is rendered more fertile. This.
is the purpose of using lime materials.
it is equally true for limestone and
marl and oyster shells, insofar as they
are soluble as it is for burnt forms of
lime, because in the main they act in
the same way, namely as carbonate.

In the language of the old saying,
“one cannot both have his cake and
eat it,” it is part» of the business of
farming to maintain humus in the soil
by means of crop residues, stock ma.-
nure and green manures. Commercial
fertilizer such as acid phosphate, mu~
riate ot‘ potash and nitrate of soda,
also increase the rate of decay of or»
ganic matter in the soil, but in no
proper way can they be said to burn
the humus. As a matter of fact, both
fertilizers and lime may put into the
soil, in the form of larger crop resi-
dues, more plant material than is lost
by this more active decay.

It has been claimed that buint lime
steiilizes the soil~~~that is, kills the
small organisms. A strong solution of
almost any chemical substance will kill
these organis’ms. Limestone kills cer-
tain soil organisms, especially those
that, dislike a sweet or alkaline medi-
um. All investigations show a change
in bacterial activity following an appli-
cation oi‘ lime and in the case of burnt;
lime any such reduction in bacterial
numbers is always followed by a tre-
mendous increase in the activity. On
the whole, the more marked effect of
burnt lime due to finer division and
greater availability is to be regarded
as desirable and not objectionable.
That is one of the objects of using
lime.

Lime and the Waste of Soil Con-

stituents.

Other claims that have been made“
are that burnt lime wastes ammonia.“
and increases theloss of mineral plant
nutrients. First of all, it will be evi-
dent on reflectiou that if burnt lime
quickly changes to the carbonate form
such displacement can no more occur

with burnt lime than from the use of“:

limestone, ‘beyond the first few days
after‘application. SecOnd, while it is-
recognized that caustic lime can dis~
place ammonia it is also known that.

CURRENT COMMENT

N another column

of this issue Mr.
John Ketcham, Mas-
ter of the Michigan
State Grange, criti~
cises a recently pub-
lished editorial comment, “Socialism
and the Tenant Farmer,” in which the
too commonly preached doctrine that
American farmers are approaching a
condition of peasantry through an
alarming increase in farm tenantry,
was deplored. This doctrine was re-
ferred to as socialistic propaganda in
the sense that it is an argument very
commonly used by those who contend
that the nationalization of industry is
1119 logical panacea for this condition
and incidentally for all ills with which
agriculture is affiliated at the present
lime. _Mr. Ketcham is probably cor-
rect in the statement that farm ten-
antry is on the increase in the states
to which he refers and in the country
as a whole, but it is not a tenantry to
be classed with or which tends towards
peasantry

The average farm tenant inthe typ-
ical American agricultural community
is a tenant with a definite purpose in
view, viz., the accumulation of capital
for the purpose of purchasing a farm.
Every Michigan community affords ,ob-
ject lessons of this kind where ten-
ancy has been the intermediate step
between the condition of hired man
and that. of farm owner. Indeed, it is,
under present-day conditions, often a
necessary step for the ambitious young
man who desires to follow farming as
a business.

But there is a. vast. difference be
tween this class of farm tenantry and
the peasantry of Europe, to which the
negro tenatry of the south is the only
comparable example in American agri-
' culture. This kind of tenantry is not,

we believe, increasing in any other sec-

tion of the country, nor does it exist
_ elsewhere to any noticeable extent. It
was this class of tenantry to which the

comment above mentioned referred.

The common type of farm tenantry,
which is a step toward farm owner-
ship, is regarded by many present- -day
young men as preferable to the pur-
chase of wild land and the clearing up.
and improving of a new farm in a more

, remote location. That it is not the
I result of wholly unfavorable economic
conditions is proven by the rise in
;_1-'-land'values, which has been phenom~

sion of the live stock industry of the
state. It is common knowledge that
to feed economically one must proper-
ly balance the materials to be consum-
ed by animals or where possible and
safe, 'to substitute in part a cheaper in-
gredient for a more expensive One.
With protein carrying foodstuffs com-
manding abnmmally high p1ices, the
subject of increaSing herds and flocks
on 0111 falms is approached with much

’ hesitancy.

The commercial
stuffs is changed .from that of normal
years.

forty- Jive pei cent protein content is
now quoted in Chicago around $85 pe1
ton, and “caddo,” or cold pressed cot-
tonseed cake at $64 to $65 per ton.
Linseed meal is held at $82 at Minne—
apolis and around $85 in the nearby
consuming districts. Although the
yield of flaxseed for 1919 was only
about sixty per cent as large as the
crop for 1918, the situation may be im-
proved from the standpoint of the con-
sumer through importations from Ar-
gentine where a large crop is report-
ed. Bran is comparatively lower than
the other major protein feeds. but at
that it is extravagantly high, the pres-
ent Chicago price holding around the
$40 mark. There may be improve-
ment in this market in the coming
weeks from the buyer's standpoint,
since the production of bran from the
beginning of the 1919 crop season is
nearly 400,000 tons gleater than for
the same period in 1918 and while
millers are closely sold up on their
prospective output of flour for the next
two months, the stocks of bran on hand
at this time are reported to be fairly
liberal. This situation, accompanied
by a heavy movement of corn which
may be reasonably expected from now
on, portends a downward slope to bran
values. There is little hope, however,
that prices will be carried to avpoint
which will make the production of le-
gume crops unprofitable.

The position of the man advocating
a wider- planting of these crops is made
doubly strong by the commanding high
values of legume hay. It is exceeding-
ly uncommon for clover hay, for exam-
ple, to sell above the corresponding
grades of timothy hay, yet at Pitts-
burgh and other large hay markets
clover is commanding a premium of
about $2.00 per ton. Coupled with the
problems of labor and [he maintenance
of soil fertility, it seems reasonable
that prudent farmers will weigh care-
fully the proposition of increasing the
acreage to be devoted to legume crops.

, honey exports from
the United States to
the allied nations in-
creased ten- fold, while
domestic consumption, especially near
the points of production, developed at
even a greater rate. Not only did the
flow of honey out, of the country in-
crease during the war, but since the
armistice was signed export demand
has continued. If our beekeepers are
able to provide an adequate supply to
meet this enlarged demand, the .bee in-
dustry of the future is certain to take
on considerable magnitude.

Like most. other lines of effort the
business of keeping bees is becoming
a specialty and the great. volume of
colonies are now getting into the hands
of commercial men. This tendency is
looked upon as a wholesome sign from
the standpoint of the development of
the industry. The necessity for care:
fully studying the various problems of
the business and the prevalence of two
destructive brood , diseases make it
highly important that the person in
charge of an apiary be qualified, and
imposes a barrier to those who would
attempt to keep a few colonies with-
out thought of giving the necessary
care. However, the man who has an
aptitude for details can expect proper
returns from his swarms whether he
be a general farmer or a‘bee specialist.

The state of Michigan is bound to
benefit from any improvement along
this line since conditions here are pe-
culiarly favorable to the industry and

possibilities before them. Recently at

‘7 ' reward for keeping purebred
‘ stock. The eggs from purebred stock
in the spring are worth more than mix-
ed eggs because there is a demand for
purebred stock As the dairyman can
sell a good purebred calf for a p1ice
higher than its market value as veal
so the poultryman can sell the eggs
from well-mated, purebred fowls for

eggs is advertising. The buyers in a '

an economic mistake.

But we must bear in mind that the
flock cannot replace labor unless the
farms are. inclosed by sheep and" pig
proof fences. At the present time
advocating the fencing of our farms
is an unpopular topic because of the
very high cost involved, but I think
it is a. matter which must receive our
serious consideration with the very
near future.

The replacing of labor with a flock
ofnsheep is not all that there is in-
volved with the changes 110w coming

upon us. We have known for a long
time that a flock of sheep, properly
managed, is a source of profit not only
on low priced lands but on medium and
high priced lands as well. And if they
are properly managed I have no hesi-
tation in predicting that they will be
a source of profit—~if anything can be

favor of cooperation. lnstinctively our
middle western farmers are not in-
cline to cooperate. They are too
American, too individualistic, to take to
it naturally. But we have now come to
the time when we see that cooperation
is not only desirable but really essen-
tial to our welfare.

cant 111a.nne1‘. In Minnesota, Wiscong
sin, Illinois, Indiana», and! dare say, in
your own state, cooperative shipping
associations for the handling of live
stock are gaining great headway. In
some cases these associations arise in
dependently of the farm bureau; in
others they are fostered by this bureau.

But, at 'any rate, it is a movement
toward cooperation, which is~ most
significant for the shecpmen because

it gives an opportunity for the man
who has only a few lamb: to sell to get
the true market value out of them.
When we begin to so organize that

we can get the true value for our W001
and lambs, we then have the incentive
for engaging in the production of high-
class products, both lambs and wool.
So long as all had l0 sell wool on the
same level of prices and had to dispose
of lambs to a. local man who knew
little about buying, we had little to em
courage us in breeding, feeding and
shepherding with a view to producing
the highest possible class of product.
Now, however, we can select the bet-
ter breeding stock with confidence that'
we shall be adequately rewarded. We
can cull out undesirable stock and feel
that we are making progress. And out
of the county farm bureau and related
agencies we can gather information _
which will aid us in making a better . 1 ,
product. Without the farm bureau the " '

RESUMED. a.

 

HE state wide membership cam-
paign of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, discontinued during Christmas

'Wfi'week, was 1esumed this week in St.
g» Clair county.
paigns will also be under way in Gen-

ln a week’s time cam—

essee and Kent counties.
According to the campaign schedule

W prepared by C. A. Bingham, secretary

of the state organization, St. Clair,
Macomb, Kent, Ottawa, G'enesee and
Tuscola counties will ,be completed
during January. ‘Washtenaw, Monroe,
Livingstone, Eaton, Calhoun and I'Illl‘"
on will be worked in February, with
the possibility of the campaign extend-
ing into two or three additional coum
ties:

At the piesent time the state cigan—
ization has close to 12, 000 ten dollai
memberships in eight counties. They
are Oakland and Allegan with more
than 1,800 each; Barry with 1,350;
Montcalm with 1,700; Van Buren with
1,650; Lapeer with 1,700; Gladwin with
700, and Genesee, only, half completed,
with 900.

 

RECLAMATION BILL OPPOSED.
HE American Farm Bureau Feder—
ation has advised the American

Legion not to favor the Mondell~Lane
bills now pending in congress, which
propose to reclaim land on which sol~

‘ diers and sailors me to be settled. This

information was leceived by C. A.
Bingham, secretary of the Michigan
State \Farm Bureau, who has written
Michigan's delegation in congress a
request to oppose the proposed legisla-
tion.

In explanation of the stand, J. R.
Howard, of Iowa, president of the na-
tional farm bureau federation, asserts
he believes the legislation‘ is being
promoted by men who would selfishly
benefit through . the reclamation
project.

In assistance to the American Leg-
ion, Mr. Howard offers service of a
committee of three farmers to coop-
erate with the Legion in the selection
of public lands for the soldiers and
sailors to the end that waste land may
not be unloaded on them.

“These soldiers and sailors are en-
titled to the best we have, not our bar-
rens, and the American Farm Bureau
is ready to help them get it in 1eturn
£01 the sacrifices they made,” M1. How-
aid said.

place also in prices for yearlings, weth-

ters on fat lambs, but fat little year

CU RTA‘ILlNG STOCK FEEDING.

 

EATMAKING has had a severe

backset in Kansas this season
and it appears that many farmers are
curtailing Operations. A canvas by the
State Board of Agriculture in the lat-
ter part of November of the, cattle and
beg situation reveals that stock has
been sold off so extensively that there
are now fewer cattle and hogs on the
farms than was the case on March 1
last year. Beef cattle are less by
twelve per cent, and only about seven-
ty-six per cent of the usual number of
cattle will be grain-fattened the com-
ing winter. Contrary to the cattle sit-
uation, however, ten principal hog rais-
ing counties, frOm Smith east in the
northern tier and two or three other
northeastern counties, show more hogs

on hand by about six per cent than the

general average for the state—F.

GOVERNMENT CATTLE LOANS.

 

HE report of the war finance cor-

poration made to congress shows
that all' but $1,459,244 of the cattle
loans made‘last year were repaid. Dur-
ing the year the board advanced $4,-
292,746 to cattlemen, cattle loan agen-
cies and associations and $93,160 to
banks, the latter loans being secured
by the notes of cattlemen. The total
loans on cattle amounted to $7,779,826.
and during the year $6, 320, 581 wasre-
paid. There was a feeling of appre-
hension last summer among cattlemen
because of the long continued drought
in various districts. The board could
make no further advances, and felt
that outstanding cattle loans should be
paid at maturity in instances where no
undue hardships would result W. W.

which will bring together all the best

nection with Farmers’ Week, February,
2-6. Nearly one hundred different
poultry establishments of the state will
enter a total of about five hundred
fowls.

Inasmuch as only those birds which
have won premiums at other shows
will be eligible for entry at the college
sweepstakes, competition will be unus-

All entry fees are to go to the prize
winners in each class, forty per cent
for first place, and thirty, twenty and

ten per cent for the next three places, ‘

respectively. Every bird that places,
will get at least a ribbon. The entry
fees are to be fifty cents for single
birds and $2.00 for-pens.

‘RAT‘ION FOR‘HOLSTEIN HEIFER.

 

 

..I have a full-blooded Holstein heifer,
three years old, giving about thirty-five
pounds of milk per day. She freshened
November 9, 1919, and weighs about.
1,100 pounds. I wish a balanced ra-
tion from all, or a part of the following
grains, to feed with clover hay: Sugar
beets and tops, wheat bran,“ wheat
middlings, buckwheat bran, buckwheat
middlings, corn meal and ground oats”

I would rather not feed oats unless it ,

is necessary. Would it pay for the ex-
tra work to-soak the feed in boiling
water and let stand from one feeding
to another?

Osceola Co. SUBSCRIBER.

.. You state that you have plenty of
clover hay, which is the entire rough-
age. 1 It simplifies the matter by bal-
ancin‘gthe grain ration" somewhat. The
cloverhay is a balanced ration in it
self,‘the onry trouble isits bulky na-
ture. A, cOw can’t eat a sufficient
gamount' to do her best. Sugar beets
and beet tops will be splendid to fur-
nisha succulent food in the ration, but
they should not be fed in large quan-
tities. 4.591.311 amount night and morn-
ing" is-bettér'than to feed this product
'in‘large quantities. In fact, if you feed
sugar beet tops‘in large quantities it
will give you trouble; they are not
only laxative but they also act as a
diaretic. ' However, if fed in small
quantities like a small forkiul night
and‘morning; they will producevery
good results. . ’ ‘
'With' the varieties of grain which
you mention it will not be necessary
to feed ground oats, if you do not de-
sire to do so. You can make a splen-
. did ration out cf wheat bran, buck-

The Perfection Gets More Milki

“The Perfection gets more milk than any hand
milker can get from my cows. One of my cows,
5 years old, gave as high as 102 pounds of milk in

Fill
From Fewer Acres

The one practical remedy for the high cost of fiber
is to make every acre produce more—a bigger yield of
corn per acre means lower cost per- ton of silage. Whether
you apply manure Or not, your corn needs ayailable plant
food -~- for a quick start --fo'r producing more and better
ears to give‘the silage greater feeding value—and for mak-
ing big heavy corn, that requires fewer acres to filltbesilo.

' AA 0- Fertilizers
' Make This Possible

They supply the necessary available plantfood—ammonia for
a quick start, potash to make stout, heavy stalksand big gram, and
phosphoric acid to fill out the grain, reduce the number of barren
stalks andbring the crop to maturity ahead of frost.

Our Agricultural Service Bureau has been making

farm tests with fertilizer for many years, to determine
the best fertilizers for various crops under different con-

STATE BOARD‘ OF AGRICULTURE
TO SEAT TWO NEW MEMBERS.

T its January meeting the 'State

Board of Agriculture will include
for the first time its newly elected
members, Mrs. Dora Stockman, of Lan-
sing, and L. Whitney Watkins, of Man—
chester. The retiring members, who
met with the board for the last time
at the December meeting, are R. D.
Graham, of Grand Rapids, and A. J.
Doherty, of Clare. Graham and D0-
herty have served on the board seven
teen and twelve years respectively.
Mrs. Stockman will be the first. woman
ever to meet with the board as a mem-
ber. Watkins is well known through-
out the state. He has served‘a pre~
vious term on the State Board, and for
years has taken a prominent part in
all progressive agricultural move-
ments.

BELlEVES TENANT SYSTEM IS
FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.

LEASE permit me space to protest

both against the so—calledlacts and
the spirit of a recent editorial in "the
Michigan Farmer entitled, “Socialism
and the Tenant Farmer.” The facts
are wrong and the spirit of the article
wholly unworthy of an editorial utter-
ance from the Michigan Farmer. It
says, “outside of a few southern states
* * * farm tenantry is not on the
increase." Now, Kansas is not a south-
ern state and Governor Henry J. Allen
is not a socialist. In a recent article
Governor Allen says: “In 1880 eighty-
four per cent of the farms in Kansas
were operated by their owners and
only sixteen per cent by tenants. Since
then tenancy has increased rapidly un-

the farms were operated by owners
and thirty-seven by' tenants. In 1918
the farm owners who were working
their own farms had declined to fifty-
two per cent and forty~eight per cent
were renters. This is about the av-
erage." . _
Further says Governor Allen in the
same article: “This is not typical of
Kansas alone. In Illinois, Iowa, Ne-
braska. Ohio, Indiana, and even in the
new state of Oklahoma, the tenant
problem is growing with the same
, alarming rapidity as characterizes it in
Kansas.” ‘ . ' ' '
‘ My own personal observations in
rather wide limits of travel the past
summer gave me a chance at figures

erased and. from them the stateroom
made. that the census of 1920 would

 

’ Michigan Agricultural} News '

Jersey will have even greater honor.

til in 1910 only sixty~three per cent of.

n-

is increasing rapidly‘in/ our own state.

Farm auction sales where the owners.

are leaving the farm are alarming in
their number. \An auctioneer in once:
our best counties Said recently in his
introductory remarks at a sale that
this was the sixteenth consecutive au‘c—
tion he had cried where the owner was
leaving the farm. Ifqthcre is anyd’ou-bt
on this matter I wouldlbe' very glad to
cooperate in the circulation "of a ques-
tionnaire among the Granges of the
state to see "whetherMIehigan tenant
farming is increasing or not. . ,

'Still another statement in the pedi:
torial is misleading. Reference is made
to the prosperity of the tenant farmer.
The inference is that tenant farming
is therefore not bad. It is not the ten-
ant farmer so much as the_dange1‘s or
a tenant system that must be avoided.
If tenant farmers do better than own-

ers it is but another argument against'

the dangers of the tenant system itself.

Charging anyone who attempts ‘tO
put these startling facts fairly up to
the people with circulating “socialistic
propaganda” is wholly beneath the dig~
nity of a Michigan Farmer editorial.

Farm and heme ownership is the
greatest safeguard America has right
now.
improved soil conditions, care for and
interest in country life institutions, and
greater stability in public affairs. .It
must be fostered in every possible way.
“'9 must all do everything possible to
change tenant farmers into farm own-
ers. It will not help much to deny'the
plain facts or.. increasing farm tenantry
nor will it encourage the efforts of ear-
nest workers ln this cause to' have
what they believe to be the facts char»
acterized as “socialistic mopaganda’”

J. C. KETCHAM,
Master Michigan State Grange.

SHORTHORN REGISTRATION FEE
INCREASED.

HE board of directors-of the Amd

erican Shorthorn Breeders’ Asso-
ciation. at the December 4 meeting.
voted to increase the registration fee
to $2.50 after January 10, 1920. This
increase is necessary to meet the pres.
ent cost of operations and in order to
provide for the appropriations for the
Shorthorn prizes and meet’ the de-
mand. for extension work. The Short
horn Association has been progressive
and discreet. A broad foundation has
been laid and is being laidfor the
growth of the trade .in’ the future. Im-
mediate results are in evidence in all
sections. A greater demand exists tO«
day for Shorthorn cattle than ever in
the history of the breed.

ASTER KETCHAM, in his ad-
" ”dress, stated that Michigan State
Grange has a record in cooper-
ation that is outstanding. “Combining
our fire insurance companies’ risks
makes the impressive total of $38,664,-
000. The saving in insurance rates to
our members, especially in the' newer
sections of the state, where old-time
rates, would be prohibitive if obtain-
able at all, is many times the cost of
the Grange. The Grange Life Insur-
ance Company comes through the war
with a fine record. its totals have
now reached the imposing sum of $7,-
750,000 and it matches swords success-
fully with the best companies of the
country in competition for business.

Our cooperative trade contracts reg-
ister another year of large returns to
our State Grange treasury, the sum
being $8,500. This has been largely
due to the wise plans and wonderfully
effective service of our faithful con-
tract agent, Brother George B. Horton.

The cost of production which the
Michigan State Grange has put on for
the last tWO years has attracted world-
wide attention and several articles on
various phases of it have been widely
copied in agricultural journals. Given
character by manufacturers. grossly
misused by war profiteers with their
notorious “cost plus"? contracts, this
slogan is now (being used by farmers

 

ambitions for themselves

I new

and is to become the important factor
in future price consideration on farm-
ers’ products. It must be made the
slogan of farmers’ organizations all ov-
er the country and must likewise be
urged upon city consumers as the only
means of-insuring a steady and ade-
quate supply of foodstuffs from the
farms of America.

A Grange drive during the last two
months has resulted ~.in the addition of
more than three thousand members.
We have gone far enough to know that
the Grange membership of Michigan
can be increased fifty per cent in the
coming year if a burning message is
carried back by each delegate to his
home Grange and the Granges where
he is called to install officers. Organ-
ization is in the air and the program
of the Grange is a sure answer to the
needs the farmer dgsires to have serv-
ed through a farm organization.

The State Grange strong box con-
tains a total of $58,184, a new high
mark in our State Grange history and
very distinct margin of leadership over
any other Grange state. The Grange
started in Michigan fifty-three wears
ago. It was created to bind together
the northern and southern farmers af-
ter four years of bitter struggle in the
Civil War. And now is it too far-
fetched to say that the farmers of Am-
erica hold the destiny of the nation in
their hands in these disturbed and un-
restful days? Is the great army of
home-owning, home-loving peOple on
the farms of this country a strong an-
chor in the storms of reconstruction?
Are their opinions, wishes, desires and
and their
country fairly representative of the as-
pirations of the great body of Amel'l‘
cans called the common people? Is

their business of food production of

sufficient importance to the country
and to the world to Warrant closer and
more sympathetic action to their needs

, in both legislation and administration?
Does, not one-third increase .in food
-;production’ answer for gobd will and

. real-constructive, unselfish patriotism

of the American farmer in comparison
with twenty-five per cent decrease in

try, due to the wholesale movement of
young men and women from the coun4
try to centers of population. Of 212,-
000 one-room rural schools in the
whole country,- 125,0000 are being
taught by inexperienced teachers, most
of whom are imature boys and girls of}
no training, and all too little educa;
tional preparation. Several thousand
schools are entirely without qualified.
teachers and every sort of make-shift- _
is used to supply the deficiency. UnQ'
less this condition shall be speedily
remedied, the rural school will lose its
proud place as the starting point for
most of the successful men and women:
of the land. Michigan conditions are-
doubtless not so extreme as in many:
states, but we cannot allow them to.
become so.” ’ 3:

There were many addresses and dist?
cussions given by prominent men and
women in the Grange and by several}
outside speakers. State Superintendi
ent of Public Instruction T. E. John-l,
son, called attention to the generally,
poor condition of the one-room rut-all
schools and the poorly trained teach-E
ers anti handicapped children. He urge-
ed that the present small districts be
consolidated wherever possible. In
fact, he favored making the township
or county the unit for rural schools,
and that the state has provided for
financial assistance when rural school
districts consolidate. Addresses were
given by L. Whitney Watkins, new
member of the State Board of Agriculé
ture, Dean R. S. Shaw, of M. A. C.,and
Milo D. Campbell, on Thursday after-
noon.

Financial reports showed that the
Grange total assets were $58,194.90.
Receipts for the year were $26,675.08
and expenditures were $23,284.25. .

Mrs. Dora Stockman, state lecturer,-
declared‘ that rural conditions must be
improved to make the farmer more:
contented or the country will face an-
enormous shortage of food. Hundreds.
of farmers, their wives and children;
are leaving their farms annually be-
Cause they cannot make cost of pro-
duction plus any reasonable amount» of
profit. ,

The big Grange banquet at the Mam
sonic Temple on Wednesday evening? .
was an outstanding event. It was an
tended by several hundred delegates,i
officers and visitors. Master Ketcham
was introduced by lecturer Mrs. Steel:-
inan to preside as toastmaster; There.
were numerous responses and all were:
supposed to answer the problem of.
“What Michigan Farmers Want.” , ._

IITGHING AND
SOIL WSllING
Problems Solved

Here’s an inexpensive machine

that has solved the

problems of ditching and soil washing for thou-
sands of farmers, and Will solve them.for you, too.

Farm Dilcher. Terracer.

Model No. 20

The Martin cuts a
‘- “V” shaped ditch down
to four feet deep

\,__ Ill

lload Grader, Dike Builder

Each year many acres of gram
are lost to the individual and to the nation
by water standing on the fields be-
- cause of improper drainage.
Isn’t it high time this frightful -
a waste be stopped and that the
farmer be insured of bigger
crops and better returns for his
labor? We must raise more
food than ever in America this
year to help feed the starving
peoples of Europe. This is the
farmers’ opportunity. Prices of
all food products will remain
high for some time to come.

Many a farmer thinks he

has no need of the MARTIN, but

that’s where he is dead wrong.

This machine is needed on every
farm, and was needed there before

the plow. Even on well tiled land there
are many places where it can be used to
good advantage, and will quickly pay for
itself. Stop a minute and study closely the
many uses of this handy little implement.

Here’s Just a Few of
the Things It Does——
and Does Well

Cuts a mile of 3-ft. V-shaped
ditch, for tiling, open surface

drains or irrigation, in a day.

Goes down .4 feet. Solves the

labor problem so far as ditching

and dirt moving work are con-

cerned. Cuts down the high

cost of tiling; backfills; cleans

, out old ditches; builds farm ter-

races to stop soil washing and

to conserve moisture; reclaims

old abandoned hillsides and

swampy land and converts des-

ert areas into cultivatable lands;

1' makes roads from ditch to crown;
tears down dredge ditch banks and

. old levees; fine for throwing up rice
levees; cleans barnyards; moves snow
and does a host of other things. There's
always something for the MARTIN to do.
Can be used every week in the year. Easy
to operate. Works in any soil. Saves your
crops and soil. Saves labor, time and
money. Does work of 100 men. 2, 4. 6

REVIEW of the work of the Ex-
A change shows that the Michigan

Potato Growers’ Exchange 'is
making thousands of dollars for the
members this season. The season
started with a large volume of apples
offered, which were sold at very high

sold cider apples for the local 'assbcia-
tions for prices ranging from $1.50 'to
$2.15 per hundred. The price to the
farmers was started by the local buy-
ers at eighty cents per hundred, but it
did notltake long for the Exchange to
get into the cider apple game and the
price was a'dvanéed to $1.50 at once.
.The writer attended a meeting at Tus-
tin where the farmers were not organ-
lized‘. They were selling hand-picked
apples No. 1 and No; 2 at $1.40 per
hundred and the Exchange was that
day selling cider apples for $1.65 and
was returning to their members. $2.20
per hundred for potatoes and the buy-
ers in Tustin were paying the farmers
there $1.70, a difference of fifty cents
per hundred between the price receiv-
ed by the organized and the unorgan-
ized farmers.

The prices returned to the farmers
by the cooperative associations this
year has been very ‘much in advance
.of the prices paid by the local buyers
in nearly all cases. The difference has
run all the way from four to fifty cents
per hundred.

Last‘year there was a falling market
coupled with a car shortage which
worked against the local association or
put them at a disadvantage on making
returns to the farmers who were mem‘
bers. The buyers also were paying
higher prices than they could afford to
pay last year and by so doing they lost
thousands of dollars. They did this in
order to break up the organizations by
causing dissatisfaction among the mem-
bers. The buyers found that they could
not break the associations by this
method and although they put several
thousand dollars in to do so. the asso-
ciations doubled in number in just nine
months.

This year we have enjoyed a car
shortage for the market has advanced
and the farmer who ordered his pota-
toes sold and was not able to get them
off for a week or two has found that
when they were sold he was returned
much more than expected in many cas-
es. The buyers this year gave up the
idea of breaking up the associations
by paying more than the produce is
worth and are taking what they can
get with a fair chance of making a
reasonable profit on their investment.
This year is the year when the loyal
members are making good money and
the man who is selling on the outside
is getting let down.

The Exchange sold ninety cars of
cabbage for its Saginaw association
and several cars of rye and wheat at
very good advances above the regular
market. Three cars of rye were sold
for the McBain association and netted
the farmers aroung $1.51 per bushel
last fall when the elevator was only
paying $1.30 at the time this was load-
ed out.

One member at Beulah told me that
he had made over $100 in three weeks
above the buyer’s price on second-
grade apples which were sold by the
Exchange to the peddler trade.

At Gowen’s, a little town.just six
miles from Greenville, the farmers or-
ganized'a COOperative marketing asso-
ciation there. The members were of-
fered $2.14 by the buyers who were
paying only $1.90 in Greenville, the
leading btryers’ market of the state.

$2.40 per hundred. So it is seen that
the unorganized farmer is holding the
bag for the organized farmer inasmuch
as the buyers can take a profit from
the one community and spend it in an- ‘
other community to compete with the
organized farmer.

A concrete example of the difierence

between the price that the buyers are

paying on a safe basis, ‘is the Kings-
ley association ' in Grand Traverse
county. Mr. Sidney Weaver had 5,980-
pounds of potatoes to sell but the asso-
ciation was then too crowded to han-
dle them. ‘ He 'went to a buyer who,,of-
fered a price which" would net $101.66.
He Waited for a day or two and receiv-l
ed from the association. $132.44, a gain,
of $30.78. , _‘

The Exchange has just held a meet-
ing. called to amend‘zthe by-laws. This
meeting, held on ‘December 18, was
well attended by the voting delegates ,7
from the locals as well as many mem-
bers and county agents. One of the
important amendments to the by—laWS
was to give the Exchange the power to
hire a competent auditor to audit the
books of the locals whenever this was
necessary, or at least once a year.

It is worthy of note that the quick-
est work of organizing a local associa-
tion and their getting into operation.
was the Sand Lake association in Kent
county. This association was organ-
ized on Saturday afternoon, the offi-
cers purchased a warehouse on Mon-
day and started doing business on
Wednesday. This association is locat-
ed so that they have members from
Kent, Newaygo and Montcalm coun-
ties. They have shipped several cars
of beans and potatoes and are hand-
ling all kinds of farmers' supplies.

One asociation at Grant has just
placed an order for over eight thou-
sand dollars' worth of clover and grass
seeds. The Central Exchange purchas—
ed over four cars of grass seeds last
year and made a saving to their mem-

bers of from two to seven dollars per

bushel.

To give some idea of the confidence
of many of the members in their local
associations, I will give a little history
of the Kingsley association. This as
sociation has been in operation about
fifteen months and on the start they
purchased a warehouse for $3,000, but
soon saw that this was too small for
their. needs and they have now just
completed an addition to this house,
made of tile, which is costing them
above nine thousand dollars, including
the cost of automatic machinery for
the handling of potatoes. When the
farmer drives up to the warehouse
with 'a load of potatoes his wagon is
tipped up at the front and the tubers
slide out at the‘rear into a dump which
elevates the potatoes onto a grader.
From there they go to a conveyor
which dumps them into a bin where
they remain until ready to be sacked
for loading onto the cars. They will
have two of these automatic wagon
dumps and will have several other
doors where the farmers can unload
in the rush season.’

The members, numbering one hun—
dred and seventy-six, paid a member-
ship fee of fifty dollars into the asso-
ciation, which went into the building
fund. When the building was com-
pleted they found that they would need
about $3,000 more. At a meeting of the .
members one» afternoon they called for,
men to volunteer to loan the associa-
tion this money and in fifteen minutes
the required amount was.secured.

At the present time‘the central is in -,
a flouriehm coalition, having done
about $500,000.;worth of business in}

The measure of value of any farm machine you buy is the amount of
service derived after its purchase. To be the right kind of invest-
ment any machine must “make good” in your hands.

You want a tractor that will do the work you have to do and that
will make you money While doing it. A Waterloo Boy meets your
tractorrequirements. Its purchase means real tractor satisfaction.

tractor and tools. By shifting this lever the center line
of pull of the tractor always corresponds with the center
line of draft on the plow.

A Waterloo Boy combines economy with efficiency. It
gives you dependable service at small operating cost. Its

‘ twin-cylinder engine develops full 12 h. p. at the draw-
bar and 25 h. p. on the belt, using kerosene as a fuel.
The patented manifold converts every drop of this low-
priced fuel into reliable power. Two gallons of kerosene
per acre is the average amount used when plowing.

The Pulley Wheel on the Waterloo Boy is mounted on
an extension of the engine crankshaft. It is carried on
wide, heavy-duty Hyatt bearings. There are no gears

'The radiator holds 13 gallons of water. You don’t have
to stop in the field every few hours and fill it. Tba

this process occurs in a moist soil it

Moreover, andthis is the “proof of

mentioned above, extracted the atmos‘
phere from a field soil in which caustic-
lime was known to occur and found no
trace of ammonia in, it.

Codirary to ordinary belief, the ef-
fect of lime on the soil is more in the
direction of conserving mineral ele‘
ments than to increase their loss. Lime
does not. unlock potash. It does not
increase the loss of phosphorus which _
is usually very thoroughly conserved

in soils. It may increase the loss of
sulphur. . -
Moreover, burnt forms of lime are

not more lost from the soil than car- 1
Their more free entry
than limestone into silicate forms of
combination operates to conserve lime
in the soil.
Physical Effects.

When it comes to the improvement
of the tilth of the soil, the burnt forms
of lime are shown to be much the most
effective. It is questionable whether
in any direct way limestone improves-
the tilth and there is some indication
of the reverse effect if it is not coupled
with the large supply of humus in the
soil.

Field Experiments with Crop.
Turning to field experiments with
crops where both burnt lime and lime-
stone have been used, the data at the
Ohio Experiment Station covers the
longest period (fourteen years) in the
lime phosphate test, and is most de-
pendable. In this data no proof is.
found that limestone is superiox to
burnt lime when used in chemicall}
equivalent amounts In a summaiy of
all c10ps for the entire peiiod, and all
rates of application, .the burnt lime has
pioduced pe1 tlnee- yeai 10tation an
aveiage increase in giain and hay'
(stiaw omitted) amounting to 2 703
pounds, while limestone has ploduced
2,308 pounds, wo1th, at two cents peri
pound, $54 07 and $46 16 iespectiv ely. 1

Practical Convenience.
Consideration of the use of liming
materials on the soil should keep in
mind fiist, the cost deliveiéd the
land and not at the f1 eight station. The
labor saving in hauling the name con-
centrated burnt lime is a consideration
the farmer will know best 110w to ap-
Figured on this basis, the,
cost of a pound of available oxide of
lime is very close to the same amount
of the different forms of lime when do-
livered at the farm. Naturally the
burnt forms, being more concentrated,
have the largest advantage on long
hauls.

 

Fairness to the Farmer.

Having in mind that there is a place
for both limestone and burnt lime, it
would seem to be the part of wisdom
to recognize the full merit of each ma-
terial, and for the limestone to be used
more especially where the shorter haul
is involved and the burnt lime on the
larger haul territory.

Small Applications.

Finally, we believe the interests of
the farmer are better served by fre-
quent small application,
course, to the needs of the soil, than

; A VERY dangerous insect known as
g, . the European corn borer has be-
‘Vlli " ‘_ come quite generally distributed in
‘ eastern Massachusetts, and also in
. VErie and Chautauqua counties and in
the vicinity of Albany, New York
This insect attacks practically all farm
crops and if it once gets a foothold in
Michigan Will do g1eat harm. The dif-
ficult‘y of exterminating it is increased
by the fact that it also attacks all of
. the larger weeds, concealing itself in «
the pith
The most likely means Of its intro-
duction into Michigan is with nursery
stock. The danger is not so much f1 om
its being in the stock itself, although
it might be found in herbaceous pel-
enn'ials such as iris and peonies, but
frdm the st1aW,1ushes, flags and other
coarse grasses and weeds with which
. the stock might be packed.

mVanently keep this insect out of the

state, we Wish to delay its introduction

as long as possible, and to this end

Would urge everyone to keep a ca1eful

‘ [Watch for this insect. It is known to

3 attack at least one hundred of our com-

111011 plants but 1s most likely to be

fl found in the cans and stalks of corn,

especially sweet corn, and fortunately

appears to prefer flint to dent cor.n

{ 1 More than one hundred and fifty bor-

ers have been found in a single hill of

corn, and fifteen in one ear. The tas-

sel is likely to break off and tip over.

This is often the first indication that
the borer is present.

The: larvae of the borer are smooth,
.grayish in color and about one inch in .
length. The pupae are generally found ’

in the pith and am brown, cigar~shap-
ed and about one-half inch long. If
anything suspicious is found you
shOuld mail Samples to the undersign-
ed, enclosing the specimens in a tin
' V box, as the larvae can eat through a
. 1U ‘ paper box.

1 Aside from a careful watch for this.
‘= . insect, we would urge that all packing
V T V . material be .bmned, especially if Straw
' ‘ or othei coaise material has been used.‘
Although there is as yet no geneial
1 r quarantine against shipments from the
_ i ’ i infeSted sections, We would strongly
F V V V V . . advise against the bringing in of nuis-
ery stock from New England, or from
eastern or southwestein New York. On
the .other hand, theie is not likely to
be any dangei atVthis time of bringing

V Essex success has nbt been accidental.

VNO one doubts its right to the position

it holds.
But how manyknow why Essex in its

V first year revealed qualities more mature,
more evident of the influence of long »-

experience, than is commonly found in
cars even in their third and fourth year.

You will recall the Essex was an-
nounced one year ago without one word
as to the identity Of its builders. Not a
claim was made for its performance.

You were asked to go look at it, take

a ride and form your own opinion. The -

Essex, we said, would have to speak
for itself.

Now that it has established itself,
we reveal why Essex has all the quali-
ties of cars Of long development.

Was Designed by
Hudson Engineers

-. They conceived it as they developed
the Super-Six. All theylearned about en-
durance, they incorporated 1n the Essex.

They gave to the Essex the power
that has made it famous in all quarters.
Its speed is the result Of what had been

learned 1n making the Super- -Six winner
. of all worth while speed records.

VThe Essex can never be all that the

'Super- Six is for they are totally dif-

ferent types.

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.

VThe former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall
short of the Super-Six in all particulars
save size and cost.

The Essex appeals to such users be-
Cause of its nimbleness. They like the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super- Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any com-
munity that are most prominent because ..
of their performance ability are the - 1
Hudson Super- Six and the Essex.

Essex Did Not Need

Hudson ’3 Endorsement
Think of the adVantages Essex has

quired years to perfect was made pos-
sible in the very first model.

That is why 20,000 are now running,
why more than $30,000,000.00 was paid
for Essex cars in ten months.

You have not needed the Hudson
endorsement to understand Essex
performance.

Essex has won its own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit of the experience of
its engineers and the ability of its V
manufacturing organization. Its name ,
was not needed.

Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
a father might in speaking of his son
who on his own account had made good.

Elton mwmmide the deer,

HIL’S father has a farm in Michi-
gan near the Michigan & Western
Railroad, and close to the railroad
track Phil has a chicken run. He is
an enterprising fellow, seventeen years
of age, and it can be mentioned, is
stocky, and solidly-built, and has de-
veloped his muscles so that he has
taken several prizes for athletic work
He sells his poultry and
eggs in a town at a little dlstance,and
a course at
which he proposes to. enter
just as soon as he has finished his
0011188 in high- school

The ch1cken1un is far from the
fa1m house, so fai, indeed, that one
evening, when Phil was studying his
lessons fo1 the next day, the sounds of
the squawking of his chickens came
but faintly into the room. But when
he opened the kitchen door, he heard
plainly a great commotion at the chick-
en yard over toward the railroad track.
He lighted a lantern, and telling his
mother that a fox was likely making a
killing, hastened across the meadow
He has lost not a few fowls by foxes,
and with an attack of a fox in mind,
he stealthily approached where the
fowls were making a great outcry. .

Holding the lantern before him, he
threw open the gate of the yard and
entered. “That isn’t a fox!” he ex-
claimed, as a far larger animal than a
fox slipped into the shadows of the
chicken house. And, at fi1st, he thought
the creature was a neighbor’s bild dog
which sometimes chased his hens; but
it seemed strange how a dog could
have gained an entrance.

Phil swung his lantern so that the
beams encircled the space before him,
and as he did so his heart seemedt‘o
pound into his throat. It was not'a
dog which crouched on the ground
within a few yards, gazing toward him
With angry eyes, which gleamed red in
the lantern light, meantime lashing its
tall from side to side.

To behold a lion in a chicken yard
was enough to make any one frenzied
with fear, and there could be no ques-
tion but that the brute directly in front
of Phil was a lion. For several ml“)-
ments Phil's nerves went rigid with
terror, and he found it impossible to
change his position. Then his quick
boy wits came to his rescue. Just as

_with all his strength, directly into the
beast’s face, at the same moment leap-
ing to one side, thus gaining the open
door of the chicken house. Instantly
he yanked the door
inside with its hook. '.

The chicken house is a stout 'struc‘
ture, which was designed as a small
cattle barn, and which has been chang-
ed into a snug place for fowls. As the
winters are severe in Michigan, an ex-
tra siding of one-inch hemlock boards
has been added. There .was, therefore,
little danger that the, lion could break
into the building, but for a few mo-
ments Phil gasped with the fright of
.his narrow escape, as he listened to the

‘ growls of the lion, which remained just

outside the door.

Except at a ci1cus or a zoo, lions, of
course,
States, and Phil knew that the lion

. . must have- escaped from confinement,

a. mu Guile-n

and, as the yard is directly above the
railroad cut, it seemed equally clear
that the lion had escaped from a circus
train, or, possibly, from a freight car,
while being transported to a zoo. ‘
Presently Phil’s nerves became less
ohn‘k'y and although he Still heard the

are unknown in the United

had been no attempt to break into the
building. And a few moments later the
lion turned its attention to the chick,
ens in the yard, evidently catching one
which it devoured. ,

“I don’t propose to stay here all
night," whispered Phil. “The lion must:
be a circus brute, but if it should take
the notiOn to visit our cattle barn» it
wouldn’tldo a thing to our calves!” ,

Another thought immediately came.
Before long his father and mother
would wonder why he did not return,
and his father would probably come of
fer him. If his father did, there was
the certainty that he would be attacks
ed by the lion.

"It's up to me!” whispered Phil. ‘I
have got to do something. And if I
could get: the lion to come in here, and
lwas outside, l.could close and pad‘

'lock the door.”

There are several small windows 'on
one side of the building, and the win-
dows are high up and just under the
roof. Phil whispered again, “In here

s. there are some of my setting hens. I’ll

pull them out, of their nests, so they’ll
make a lot of cackling and attract the
notice of the lion. Then I’ll push the
door open and shin up on the poles of
the chicken roosts. I’ve often climbed
to one of the windows, and thanks to
my practice in the school gym I Can

makethe climb pretty quickly. Mighty '

risky, of course, but father may be
here at. any time now and I can’t let.
him run chances with the brute”

Phil is a nervy chap, and without
waiting for the thought of the risk he
was assuming to weaken his determi-
nation to protect his father, he routed
out the setting hens, which immediate-
ly began a loud cackling. Then, while
the hens continued their shrill com‘
plaints, Phil snapped out the hook frOm
its staple and threw the door open.

The night was clear, and sufficient
light came to Phil’s eyes, how accus-
tomed to the blackness in the build-

ing, so that he could see the poles of

the chicken roosts. But he had not

supposed the lion would so quickly;
make an entrance; and barely was be

Phil, his nerves like taut wire, scrambf

led to the higher poles, and he was not

'a fraction of a second too quick. For

the lion, furious at the escape of its
enemy, made a. mighty spring, crashing
against the side of the building and
breaking the poles, smashing many to
the floor. But Phil had grabbed the
sill of one of the windows, and as he
hung there desperately, the lion made
another furious leap, almost ripping
away one of Phil’s shoes from his foot.
Afterward, Phil found several slits in
the leather, where the'claws of one of
the lion’s forefeet had cut the shoe.
His teeth fahly chatteiing now, Phil
diew himself up to the safety of the
window ledge

‘ The Window was barely large enough
for him to pull himself through, but
just as he managed this, and rested for

a moment on the ledge he saw a swing- -

ing lantern above the path that led to
the yard, and knew his father was com-
ing. For fear that a cry would cause
the lion to leave the building and
make an attack on his father, Phil dar-
ed not risk a warning from the win
dow. Silently he lowered himself from

the ledge, then he’ droppd to the .

ground, landing lightly on his feet.

Without waiting. a second he slipped

quietly but swiftly around the build
ing, and gaining the door he quickly

chicken house! Listen ! "

The lion had, already turned its at-
tention to the hens, and although some
escaped through the runway, which
was near the door, the brute had
caught one of the others. And during
the following ten minutes the lion de-
voured several more of thehens.

"Lion!” exclaimed Phil’s father, af—
ter he had listened to the confusion in-
side the chicken house and Phil had
gasped out his excited tale. “It doesn't
seem possible, but those growls in
there are certainly not coming from
any ordinary beast!”

“It is a lion and a mighty big lion!”
gasped Phil. “And, father, it’s likely
a circus lion, and probably escaped
from a train on the railroad. And I’ve
been thinkingthat the lion is used to
being shut up in a cage, so perhaps
after it’s eaten all of my poor hens it ‘
can catch it won’t try to break‘ out.
The building is pretty strong, anyhow.”

“Run to the house and get my rifle,”
exclaimed Phil’s father. “Tell your
mother to use the ’phone and rout out
all the neighbors. We’ve got to watch
here. If the brute broke out, there’d
be every kind of peril, and if it got
into our cattle barn it'would do a lot
of killing of our stock.” ‘

Phil raced to the farmhouse, and af-
ter giving his father’s message to his
mother, returned on the run with the
rifle. And, very soon, gathered by the
news of a lion in a chicken house, a
number of the neighbors hastened to
the building, and continued all night to
guard the imprisoned lion. But after
its hearty chicken 'lfeast, it made no
effort to break out.

Early next morning, a circus man-
ager appeared at the farm, with sev-
eral of‘his animal keepers.

“About dusk last night,” explained
the manager, “our circus train was
stalled by a freight in the cut, right be-
ldw this farm. One of our animal feed-v

I The Sensible Leader of the 1920 Tractor Field

Today Titan 10-20 is the standard—
setter among all tractors. During the
past year it has been the topic of con-
versation on the tongues of farmers
and tractor makers'the nation over.
_ Selling at the popular low price—
$1000 cash f. o. b. factory—Titan
10-20 faced a sensational demand. A
few months ago this desire for Titan
ownership had flooded the factory with
thousands of orders which could not
be filled at once, though a new Titan
was being turned out every few
minutes. ,

Every effort is being directed to
greater production and to continued
Titan 10-20 pre-eminenc‘e during 1920.
In View of manufacturing difficulties
however, this is earnest advice to the
intending purchaser:

Orders for Titan 10-20 --and also for
International 15-30 and International
8-16—nlust be placed far in advance.
No other course will assure delivery.

OVVADAYS the chug-chug of the
farm tractor is heard in every
corner of the land. Tractors are at
work in the fields of many thousands
of farms and if you look them over
you will find them a mixed lot.
Tractor farming is still in its youth.
Novelty is still in the surge toward
power farming. ~
. The impractical theorists are still in
the ring, limping but not out of the
running. Adventurers who swarmed
into what they termed the “game” are
still “playing.“ The hazards facing
the farmer in search of reliable poWer.
are many.
In all this turmoil, one tractor like
a steady star has lighted the way.
That tractor bears the trusted name——
Titan 10-20. It has led because it is '
the product of practical builders of
good farm machines; because it is
backed by many years of experience
and unquestioned reputation.

The girl’s hand went to her heart.
Faith in her father was a rock not to
be washed away by anv amount of evi-
dence. What made her wince was the
circumstantial testimony

him.

“Is that all?” she asked despairingly.

“I wish it were, Miss Cullison. But
it’s not. A man came round the corner
and shot at the robber as he was es-
caping. His hat felllrotf. Here itis.”

As Kate ‘took the 'hat something
seemed to tighten around her heart".
It belonged to her father. His person-
ality was stamped all over it. She ev-
en recognized a coffee stain on the 1m-
d‘er side of-the brim. ~The1-e was no
need of the initials L. C. to tell her
whose it had been. A wave of despair
swept over her. Again she was on the
verge of breaking down, but controlled
herself as with a tight curb. '

Bolt’s voice went on. “Next day
your father disappeared, Miss Cullison.
He was here in town all morning. His
friends knew that suspicion was fast-
ening on him. The inference is that
he dal'en’t wait 10 have the truth come
but. Mind, I don't say he’s guilty. But
it looks that way. Now. that’s my case.
If you were sheriff in my place, What
Would you do ‘2” ‘

Her. answer fiaShcd back instantly.
“If I knew Luck Cullison, I would be
sure there was a mismke somewhere,
and I would look for foul play. I would
believe anylhing except that he was
guilty~~a11ything in .1169 world. You
know he has enemies.” ‘

The sheriff liked her spirited defense
no less because he could not agree
with her. “Yes, I know that. The trou-
ble is that these incriminating facts
don’t come in the main from his one-

_ mics.”

“You say the robber had on his hat,

Iand that somebody shot at him. Who~
ever it-was must know the man wasn’tf

Gently Bolt look this last prop from
her hope. “He is almost sure the man
was your fatliei.’

A spark of s1eel came into her dark
“Vt 110 is the man?"

“His name is Fendrick.”

“Cass Fendi‘ick?” She whipped the
word at him, leaning forward in her
chair rigidly with her hands clenched
One could have
guessed that the sound of the name had
unleashed a dormant ferocity in her.

“Yes. I know he and your father
aren’t friends. They have had some,
trouble. For that reason he was Very

reluctant to give your.fathe1"s name.”
' The girl flamed. “Reluctant! Don’t
you believe it? He hates father like

to her. She rose, slim and tall’and
purposeful. “Cass Fendrick- is the man
you want, and he is the man I want.
He robbed the express company, and
he has killed my father or abducted
him. I know now. Arrest him tonight.”

“I have to have evidence,” Bolt said
quietly. 1

“I can give you a motive.

want to prove-that Father did‘.this."

“The people elected me,'Miss ACulli-'
son,” answered Bolt, with grave ref
preach. “I haven’t any friends or any
enemies when it comes to doing what
I've sworn to do.”

“Then you ought to know Father
couldn't have done ThlS.’ There is:
such a. thing as character. Luck Cull-
ison simply couldn’t be‘ a thief."

Mackenzie’s faith had been greatly
strengthened by the insistent loyalty
of the girl. “That’s right, Nick. Let
me tell you something else. 'Fendrick
knew Luck was going to prove up on
Thursday. He heard him tell us at.
the Round Up Club Tuesday morning.”

The sheriff summed up. "You’ ve'
proved Cass had interests that'would
be helped if Mr. Cullison. were remov-
ed. ‘ But you haven’t shaken the 'evi-
dence against Luck.”

“We’ve proved Cass Fendrick had:

very day he disappeared. One day lat-
er would have been 100 late. We’ve
shown his enmity. Any evidence that.

rests on his Word is no good.’ The

truth isn’t in the man.”

“Maybe not, but he (lidnft make this

evidence.”

Kate had another inspirational flash..

"‘He did—Some of it. Somehow he got
hold of father’s hat, and he manufam
tuied a. story about shooting it from
the robbei’ 8 head. But to make his

story stick he must admit he was on .

the ground at the time of the hold-up.
So he must have known the robbery
was going to take place. It’s as plain
as old Run-A-Mile’s wart that he knew
of it because he planned it himself.”

Bolt’s shrewd eyes narrowed to a
smile. ~ “You prove to me that Cass;
had your father's hat before the hold-
up, and I'll take some stoék in the:
story. ”

“And in the meantime," suggested
Curly.‘

“I’ll keep right on leaking for Luck
Cullison, but I’ ll keep an eye on Case
Fendriok, too. ”

Kate took up the challenge confi-'
dently. “I’ll prove he had »the bat—at;
least I’ll otity to pretty hard. It’s- the
truth, and it must come out Somehow."

After he had left her at the hotel,
Curly walked the streets with 3. Sharp
excitement tingling his blood. He had
lived his life among men, and he know
:little about women and their ways. But
his imaginatiOn seized avidly upon this
slim, dark girl with the fine eyes that
could be both tender and ferocious,

She’s the best argument Luck has got.”
CHAPTER VI.
. T.wo Hats an a Rack.

NE casual remark of Mackenzie
0 had given Kate a clew. Even be—

fore she had explained it, Curly
caught the point and began to dig for
the truth. For though he was almost
a boy, the others leaned on him with

the expectation that in the absence of u

Maloney he would take the lead. Be-
fore they separated for the night he
made Mackenzie go over every detail
he could remember of the meeting be-
tween Cullison and Fendrick at the
Round—Up Club. This was the last time
the two men had been seen together in
public, and he felt it important that
he should know just what had taken
place.

In the morning he and Kate had a
talk with his uncle 0n the same sub-
ject, Not content with this, he made
the whole party adjourn to the club
rooms so that he might see exactly
where Luck had sat‘and the different
places the sheepman had stood from
the time he entered“ until the poker
players left. '

Together Billie Mackenzie. and Alex
Flandrau dramatized the scene for the
young people. Mac personated the
sheepman, came into the room, hung.
up his hat, lounged over to the pokerl
table, said— his little piece as well as he
could remember it. and passed into the
next room. Flandrau, Senior, taking.
the role of Cullison, presently got up.‘
lifted his hat from the rack, and went,
to the door.

\Vith excitement trembling in her
voice, the girl asked an eager question.
“\Vere their hats side by side like that
on adjoining pegs ‘3”

Billie‘turned a puzzled face to his
friend. “How about that, Alec?"

“That’s how I remember it.”

“Same here, my notion is.”

“Both gray hats?" Curly cut in.

His uncle looked helplessly at the_
other man.‘ “Can’t be sure of thatfi
Luék’s was gray all right.” '

“Cass wore a gray hat, too, seems to
me,” Mackenzie ' contributed, scratch-
ing his gray hair.

“Did father hesitate at all about
which one to take?" ,

“No-o. I don‘t reckon he did. He
had turned to ask me il‘ l was coming
—wasn’t looking at the hats at all.”

Curly looked at. Kate and nodded.
“I reckon we know how C'ctSS got Mr.
Cullison’s hat. it was left on the rack."

“How do you mean,” his uncle
asked.

“Don‘t you see?” the girl explained,
her eyes shining with excitement.
“Father took the wrong hat. You knowi
how absent-minded he is sometimes.”

Mackenzie slapped his knee. “l"ll
bet a stack of blues you’ve guessed it."
“There’s a way to make sure,” Curly
said. , ‘

“I don’t get'you.”

“Fendrick couldn’t wear Mr. Culli-
son‘s hat around without the risk of-
someone remembering it later. “That .
would he do then?”

Kate beamed. “Buy another at the '
nearest store."

“That would be my guess. And the
nearest store is the New York Empor-
ium, We’ve got to find out whether he
did buy one there on Tuesday some
time after nine o‘clock in the morning."

The girl’ 5 eyes were sparkling. She
hustled with businesslike‘energy. “I’lll
go and .aSk right away.” '

SAVE YOUR AUTO TIRES

Many tires are ruined each winter by
standing in the barn or garage with the
weight of the car resting on them. The
dead weight causes the fabric to loosen
from the rubber, thereby weakening
the tire. The Economy Tire Saver Jacks
will eliminate this difficulty by raising
the weight of the car from the tires.
Simple to operate.
These Jacks are well made from hard-
wood, finished in black, and will last

who'has been given an unexpected hol-

. lday.

“You “kids are right at the head of

i: the class in the detective game. Cass
bought a brown hat, about 9: 30 in the .

mo’ ning. Paid five dollars for it. He
wouldn’t let them deliver the old one
but took it with him in a paper sack.”

With her lieutenants flanking Lher
Kate went straight to the office of the
sheriff. Bolt ham (1 the story out and
considered it thoughtfully.

"‘You Win, Miss Cullison. You have

er’s disappearance by foul play, and
you haven’t proved he committed the
robbery. Point of fact I don’t think he
did either one. But it certainly, looks
like he may possibly have manufac-
tured evidence.”

Curly snorted scornfully. “You’re
letting your friend down easy, Mr. Bolt.
By his own story he was on the ground
a minute after the robbery took place.
How do we know he wasn’t there, a.
minute before? For if he didn’t know
the hold-up was going to occur why did

_he bring Mr. Cullison‘s ,hat with him

punctured so neatly with bullet holes ?”

“I’ll bet a. thousand dollars he is at
the bottom of this whole thing,” Mac-
kenzie added angrily.

The sheriff flushed. “You gentlemen
are entitled to your opinions just as
I’m entitled to mine. You haven’t even
proved he took Mr. Cullison’s hat; you
have .merely showed he may have
done it.”

“We’ve given you a motive and some
evidence. How much more do you
want?” Curly demanded.

“Hold your hawses a while, Flan-
drau, and look at this thing reasonable.
You’re all prejudiced for Cullison and
against Fendrick, Talk abOut evidence!
There’s ten times as much against your
friend as there is against Cass.”

“Then you’ll not arrest Fendrick?”

it,” Bolt returned doggedly.

“That’s all right, Mr. Sheriff. Now
we know where you stand.” Flandrau,
Senior, said stiffly.

The harassed official mopped his face
with a. bandanna. “Shol You all make
me fired. I’m not Fendrick's friend
while I’m in this office any more than
I’m Luck’s. But I’ve got to use my
judgment, ain‘t I,”

The four adjourned to meet at the

Del Mar for a discussion of ways and
means.
' “We’ll keep a watch on Fendrlck—
see wherehe goes. whohe talks to,
what he does. Maybe he’ll make a
break and give himself away,” Curly
said hopefully.

“But my father—we mUSt rescue him
first.”

“As soon as we find where he is.
Me, I’m right hopeful all’s well with
him. Killing him wouldn’t help Cass
any, because you and Sam would preve
up on the claim. But if he could hold
your father a prisoner and get him to
sign a relinquishment to him he would

* be in a fine,position.”

“But father wouldn’t sign. He ought
to know that.”

“No, not through fear your father
wouldn’t.‘ But if Fendrlck could get
him some way he might put down, his
John Hancock. Witthi‘s trouble of
Sam still unsettled and the Tin Cup
hold-up to be pulled off he might Sign.”

“If we could only have Fendrick ar-
rested—

“What good would that do? If he’s

guilty he wouldn't talk And if he is

holding your father somewhere in the
hills it would only-be serving notice
that we were getting warm. ‘ No; I’m
for a still hunt. Let Cass ride around
and meet his partners in this deal. We
Willikeep an eye en him all right. ” ‘

CHAPTER v11. H
Anonymous Letters. vL.

HERIFF BOLT, though a politician,
was an honest man. It troubled '

him that Cullison’ 8 friends believ—

Ted him to be a. partisan in a. matter of \

this sort. For which reason he met
more than half way Curly’s Overtures.
'Young Flandrau was in the' office of

the "”sheriff a good .deal, because , he'

wanted to be kept informed of any new
developments in the W. 8: S. robbery
case. L '

It was on one of those occasions

that Bolt tossed across to him a. letter .

he had just opened. /

“I’ve been getting letters from the
village’cut-up or from some crank, I
don’t ‘know which. Heie’s a sample "

The envelops,add1essed evidently in
a disguised hand, contained one sheet
of paper. Upon this was roughly let-
tered: '
, “Play the Jack of Hearts.

Flandrau looked up with at sugges-
tion of eagerness in his eyes.

“What do you reckon it means?” he
asked. .

“Search me. Like as not it don’t
mean a thing. The Others had just as
much sense as that one. ” ‘

“Let’s see the othe1s.”-

"I chucked them into the waste pa-
per bask'et. One came by the morn-
ing mail yesterday and one .by'the af-
ternoon. I’m no mind reader, and I’ve
got no time to guess fool puzzles.”

Curly observed that the waste paper
basket was full. Evidently it had not
been emptied for two or three days.

“Mind if I look for the others?" he
asked.

Bolt waved permission. “Go to it."

The young man emptied the basket
on the floor and went over its contents
carefully. He found three communica-
tions from the unknow writer. 'Each
of them was written by hand on a.
sheet of cheap lined paper torn from
a scratch pad. He smoothed them out.
and put them side by side on the ta.-
Me This was what he read:

WHENI IN DOUBT PLAY TRUMPS.

HEARTS ARE TRUMPS.
PLAY TRUMPS NOW.

There was only the one line to each
message, and all of them were plainly
in the same hand. He could make. out
only one thing, that someone was try.

ing to give the sheriff information in

a guarded way.

He was still puzzling over the thing-

,when a .boy came with a. special deliv-
ery letter for the sheriff. Bolt glanced
at it and handed the note to Curly.

“Another billy doo from my anxious
friend ”

This time the sender had been in too ‘

much of a hurry to print the words.
They were written in a stiff hand by
some uneducated person.

The Jack of Trumps, today

“Mind if I keep these?” Curly asked. L

“Take ’em along ”

Flandrau walked out of the gram}-
stand at the fair grounds and sat down ‘

by himself there. to think out what

connection, if any, these singular Warn- ' '

ingt; might have with the vanishing of

Cullis‘on or the robbery of the W. & S ' L. I H
He wasted three precious hours with-1 ‘

out any result. Dusk was falling be-
fore he returned. ' ' ' -

“Gue‘ss Ill take them t0” my little
partner and give her a. wheel: at the
Drizzle, ” he decided.

Curly strolled back to town along El . ,

Mollno street and dawn Main; 36 had
just crossed the Old Spanish plaza

when his absorbed gaze fell on a sign
that brought him up short.” In front bf _

owner of the Circle C'had vanished;

frdm the sight of men. ,The evidence

for a cattle buyer had been waiting.
there to talk with him. His testimony,
and that of the clerk, was positive. ‘
Could this little store, the Jack at
Hearts, be the central point of the
‘fnystery? In his search for informa-
tion Curly hadlalready been in it, had
bought a cigar, and had stopped to
talk with Mrs. “'ylie, the proprietor.
Shewwas a washed—out little ,woman
who had once been pretty. Habitually
she wore a depressed, hopeless look,
the air' (if pathetic timidity that comes
to some ‘women who have found life
too‘hard for them. It had been easy to
alarm her.‘ His first question had evi:
dently set her heart a-flutter, but Flan-
drau had reassured her cheerfully. She
had protested with absurd earnestness
that she had seen nothing of Mr. Culli-
son. A single glance had been enough

Now C‘n'ly stepped in a second time.
The frightened gaze of Mrs. Wylie
fastened upon him instantly. He ob-
served that her hand moved instinc-
tively to her heart. Beyond question
she was in fear A flash of light .clari}
fied his mind. She was a conspirator,
but an unwilling one .Possibly she
might be the author of the anonymous
warnings sent Bolt.

The young yaquero subscribed for a
magazine and paid her the money.
Tremblingly she filled out the receipt.
He glanced at the slip and handed it
back. .

-“Just write below the signature 'of
the Jack of Hearts,’ so that I’ll remem-
ber where I paid themoney if the mag-
azine doesn't come,” he suggested. ‘

She did so, and Curly put the .re-
ceipt in his pocket carelessly. He saun-
tered leisurely to the hotel, but as soon
as he. could get into a telephone booth
his listlessness vanished. Maloney had
returned to tovrn and he telephoned
him to get Mackenzie at Once and
watch the Jack or Hearts in front and
rear. Before he left the booth Curly.
had compared the writing of Mrs. 'Wy-
lie with that on the sheet that had
come by special delivery. The loop of
the J’s, the shape of the K’s, the for-
mation of the capital H in both cases
were alike. So too was the general
lack of character common to both, the
peculiar hesitating drag of the letters.
Beyond question the same person had
written both.

Certainly Mrs. Wylie was not warn-
ing the sheriff against herself. Then
against whom? He must know her
antecedents, and at once. There was
no time for him to mole them out him-
self. Calling up a local detective agen-
cy, he asked the manager to let him

know within an hour or two all that.

could be found out about the woman
without alarming her. .

.“Wait'a moment. I think we have
her on file. Hold the ’phone " The de-
tective presently returned. “Yes. We
can give you the facts. Will you come
to the officefor them?”

Fifteen minutes later Curly knew
that Mrs Wylie was the wife of Lute
Blackwell. She had Come to Saguache
from the mountains several years be-
fore. Soon after there had been an in-
conspicuous notice in the Sentinel to
the effect that Cora Blackwell was su-
ing for divorce from Lute Blackwell,
thena prisoner in the prison at Yuma.
Another ,news item followed“ a week
later stating that the divorce had been
granted, together with the right to use

had started her little store. Her former

THERE isn't anything at which
the average human being is bet-
ter than, making good resolu-
tions. Just now being the season for
this pleasant habit it might not be
amiss to suggest one for 1920.

Let us, one and all, resolve to be
ourselves for at least one year. ‘

Most of us are busily engaged the
greater part of the time in pretending.
If we aren’t pretending to our friends
and family, we are trying to fool our—
selves, sometimes ‘from a really good
motive, but all too often for ulterior
purposes; This idiosyncrasy of man-
kind is aptly analyzed by Dr. C. V.
Paterno in a recent issue of “System.”
He says:

“The great American average public
buys, dresses and lives with the idea
above all in mind of appearing to have
more money than it actuallyhas. The
only two classes which are not bother-
ed in this way are those who are so

poor that it is useless to try to conceal,

poverty, and those who are so rich
they do not have to put a price mark
011 themselves.

“The family that acknowledges itself
11001 buys the cheapest thing it, can get.
This class is comparatively small. The
next class buys that which looks as
though it cost more than it actually
does cost-they buy for ‘front.’ The
very wealthy people insist on getting
their money’s worth.”

This shrewd estimate of men and
women has been made a working prin-
ciple by the man who wrote those lines
and, incidentally, has netted him a for-
tune. How he did it has nothing to do
with the case. It is the fact we are
after. That the most of us buy for
“front” is so well known a business
axiom that it has more than a little to
do with the present high price of ev-
erything under the sun.

Take the mere matter of women’s
shoes, for one thing. You hear women
say they can’t get a shoe fit to wear
for less than $12, $15 or $20, depending

icould We Stop PretendlngP

largely on the woman and the “front”
she wants to make. As a. matter of
fact, if the woman was willing to wear
a shoe which didn’t look as if it dost
more than it really did she could get
a good serviceable shoe fortsi-x. or-slev-
en dollars.
through everything women wear. Why
should hats be so high this season?

The same principle runs.

Simply because the cheaper hats were i

so palpably cheap looking that women
Will not wear them. They want “to
makeanappearance,” so they paid the
exorbitant prices demanded, as manu-
facturers shrewdly forecast they would.

And when it comes to buying food,
how_ many have the courago to go in
and boldly order cheap cuts Of meat,
and cereals and other things in bulk
instead of in the highly advertised
packages? How many times has the
supercilious look on the face of the
clerk, when you timidly suggested the
cheaper grade, caused you to hastily
change your mind and order the more
expensive one, though you knew you
couldn’t afford it?

Seems to me that resolving to be
ourselves would be about the 'best
thing we could set our minds on this
New Year's day. Certainly it would
be far better for us. It would elimi-
nate all the nervous chills we now suf-
fer for fear someone will really see
through our shams. And think of the
load of worry lifted if we should stop
trying to do things beyond our means.

As a business proposition for the
keepers of shops it should work Out
better than our present system. Every
year each firm has to write down as
dead loss_a list of things “charged"
and never paid for by folks who
thought they had to seem other than
what they really were. It’s too much
to hope that everyone could resolve
to be real and live up to the resolu-
tion. It takes courage to be
cut.” But if a few could make up their
minds to eliminate sham for at least
one year, wouldn’t it be a. splendid be-
ginning ? DEBORAH.

Two other subjects loom up in my
mind-for the far—away mother, and
they are music and pictures.

The phonograph as an educational

factor has tremendous value. Through
this means the children 'can become
familiar With all that is best in music,
either vocal or instrumental; they can
learn not only the music but about the
composers, and-the great men and
women Who sing and play various in-
s'truments.
" A child's taste in pictures can be
cultivated by having in his room pic'-
tures Which are good both as to colér
and subject.‘ Pictures .dealing with
nature in'any form are always attrac-
tive to a child and if they are hung
in the room so that the child can eas-
ily study them and even handle them
if’he wants to, this adds much to his
enjoyment.

There are many book and picture
firms that are'only too glad to send
catalogues upon request. The mother
can obtain anything of this kind she
may want by mail, and if, besides a
garden and pets, a child can have
books,vmusic and pictures, it seems
there is real education of the right
kind going on.——~United States Bureau
of Education.

 

» MOLASSES IN 'PORK CURING.

 

IF sugar is used for dry-curing it is
betterio make it into a syrup be-
fore using, for salt mixed with sugar
will not stick on meat as well as salt
mixed with syrup. The _use of molas-
ses or commercial syrup does away
with this extra work.

The following formulas have been

found to give good results:
_\ Sweet Pickle or Brine Cure.-—Select
pieces of twelve pounds or less. Make
a pickle consisting of three and a half
pounds of salt, one and three-fourths
pounds of syrup or molasses, or, if pre-
ferred, one and a quarter pounds of
sugar, preferably brown, one ounce of
saltpeter; two and a quarter gallons of
water.

These amounts are based on fifty
pounds of meat. It" more or less meat
is used, the amounts of the ingredi—
ents should be correspondingly increas-

. ed or decreased, as the case may be.

Under no'circumstances should the in-
dividual piece of meat weigh over
twelve pounds.

Place the meat in a stone jar or
hardwood barrel, and weight it'down
with a board and stone. Do not use
iron, for it will rust. Pour in just
pickle enough to cover the meat.

' Leave the meat in the pickle for three

days to the pound of meat, so that a
ten-pound ham would be left in the
pickle for thirty days, and a six-pound
bacon, eighteen days. After the meat
has been in cure a week, take it all
out of the jar or barrel, remove the
pickle, replace the meat, weight it
down, and again pour the same pickle
over the meat. Repeat every week. .
Dry cure for light or heavy meat.~—
Mix thoroughly, three and a half
pounds of salt, one ounce of saltpeter,
one Ounce of red pepper, one ounce of
black pepper. Add one and a. half

V' pounds‘wan‘m syrup or molasses, and

it memes the appearasee 9f,

    
 

 
 
 
   
 

1 hating; 9‘

The meat should then be placed on
a table, clean floor, or in a hardwood .
barrel, after first sprinkling the sur—p
faceof the table, floor, or bottom of
the. barrel with salt. Leave in cure
undisturbed until the. heaviest piece
has been in for a period of one and a
half days to the pound. Thus if the
heaviest ham weighs twenty pounds, .

leave all the meat in cure thirty days. 517/;

Meats cured in sweet pickle or brine-
should be consumed within ninety days
from date of cure. Meats cured with
dry cure may be consumed immediate-
ly upon removal from cure, 'but the
flavor improves with age, and the meat
is better sixty days after curing. Dry?

cured hams havebeen known tokeep _

three or four years.

 

INSECTS ON HOUSE PLANTS.

 

BY AGNES HILC‘O.

LANTS grown in the house in win-
_ter do not have the vigor they have
in the summer or as the days get long~
er in the early spring, and they are
much more subject to insect attacks,

or rather they are much easier injured . "’5, ‘

by them. Insects are always present
in most collections and it is the con
stant attention given their plants by
some growers that keeps them heal-
thy, rather than the lack of insects.

They keep the insects reduced to the ,

minimum by preventive measures.
Hot soapsuds is the handiest insec—
ticide which most of us have to work
with, and it' we Will give the plants‘
that permit it a good washing every
wash day we will not be bothered much '
by any of the common pests. As this
is a busy day many will prefer to make

a suds just for the purpose, and for _

such I would suggest the use of whale
oil soap, or fir tree oil soap, as they
have special value as insecticides. Fir
tree oil has the same qualities, and is
somewhat easier to handle than the‘
soap, as it mixes with water by the
simple process of pouring it into the
vessel. These will rid plants of aphis,
red spider, scale, and any other insect?
that will be likely to attack house

 

plants. For scale or mealy bug somel ,

extra care is needed in applying it to
make it penetrate the covering that
protects the real insects. A stiff brush
works well here. 5

Begonias are not much bothered by‘
insects and in a dry atmosphere they
will not stand having their leaves wet.

For keeping them clean a soft camel .

hair brush is best. Mealy bug doesi
attack them, and then they must bel
treated with the fir tree oil suds, bull
do it carefully, and then rinse theE
leaves with clear water and be careful}
to get all surplus water sponged off?
if they are dried in a still. cool place
it will be best for them. I have washef
ed my begonias over and over without:
trouble, but I have seen and had the:
leaves badly burned when not careful
enough about it. 5

Vi'hen scale gets a start on ferns or.
palms it is hard to get‘rid oi‘, especial-,
1y on the ferns, as every scale must be;
dislodged for positive eii‘ects. Still:
keeping it up even without much'
brushing will finally get them all. Some?
may be secure each time, but at some,i
time they will be so that the oil will"
penetrate to them.

Red spider is probably the most de-,
structive house insect, as it is so min-
ute it is never noticed until the plantsé
are so badly infested that they are al-
most past saving. When the leaves?
begin to look rusty and yellow, and to
drop, then they have about finished thel

 

plant. Because of this it is best to'
give the plants a thorough cleaning
every week or two. ’ i

 

 

Turn fruit which has just began to
ferment, into a saucepan, boil for sev-
eral minutes with half a teaspoonful .
of ,s’oda, then add spices, Sugar and a

little: vinegar. and boil again until it ,

0 matter how clean and care-

ful the preparation of ordinary
frying and shortening animal fats,
the housewife does not have the
right feeling about them, because
she believes they are not “good to
eat.” This is undoubtedly one of
the principal reasons why Mazola
is now preferred by thousands of
housewives throughout America.
Mazola is from an edible vegetable source.
It is pure, wholesome oil pressed from the
kernels of finest golden corn. Nothing is

added, nothing subtracted from the essence
of the greatest of American cereals.

Mazola is better and more economical than
lard and compounds for deep fat .nfrying.
It retains the natural flavor of the food and
does not smoke up the kitchen.

As a shortening Mazola is equal to butter,
costs less and, on account of its added rich-
ness, % to % less is required.

Salad dressings, Mazola-made, have a
delicate, delicious flavor. Mazola is equal
to the finest olive oil and costs much less.

0 demonstrate through farm boys
andgirls the most: eflicient'and, in
the end, the easiest methods of farm-
ing and housekeeping, is the first aim
of the Boys’ and Girls’ ,Club work con-
ducted by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture and the Boys’ and
Girls’ Club Department of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College. The club
work is not a mere training of future
farmers and farmer women; it is a
constant demonstration of better meth-
ods for the benefit of both father and
son, mother and daughter.

The magnitude to which this work:
has grown is indicated bythe fact that
in 1918 more than two million boys
and girls were enrolled as club mem-
bers, the great majority of them in
rural districts, but an appreciable num-
ber in the gardening clubs of cities and
towns. This great young army is re-
garded as one of the surest guarantees
that American agriculture, which need-
ed only the war to: prove its power and
resources, will continue to advance
and develop as» rapidly as American
commerce and manufacturing.

STORY VII.

’ The Test of Wits.

F course, Spotted Tail was glad
O that he had been relieved of mak-

ing the terrible test of courage
in crossing Swinging Bridge, but, at
the same time, he was chagrined that
Bumper had come out of the contest
with greater honors than ever. It
seemed as if in some way the white
rabbit managed to make‘good by suc-
Cessfully crawling out of every corner
in which Spotted Tail put him.

“It’s just luck~~blind luck,” growled
Spotted Tail to himself. And so it seem-
ed to him, for he was unwilling to face
the truth, and accept it. It is always
easier to blame luck for our failures,
and Spotted Rabbit was like a good
many boys and girls in this respect.

Instead of feeling any gratitude to
Bumper for saving him the humiliation
of his life by forbidding any rabbit to
undertake the crossing, Spotted Tail
allowed his rancor to increase day by
day until he was in a fine frame of
mind. He wanted more than ever to
“get even” with Bumper, as he ex-
pressed it.

Then one day when the opportunity
seemed to come to him, he was pre-
pared to take advantage of it. It was
to be a test of wits, this time. With-
out his knowing it, this was the one
ground on which Bumper was eager to
be challenged. It is to be feared that
Bumper had an inordinate conceit
about his ability to get out of difficult
places by using his wits.

So when Spotted Tail started in the
usual way to work up to a challenge,
Bumper readily encouraged him. “A“
good king is always a wise king, isn’t
he, Bumper?” he asked.

“He couldn’t be a: good king if he
wasn’t wise,” was the smiling retort.

“Just so. I agree with you. But
what is wisdom? Can you describe it?”

you know it when you See it. But can
you describe it?"

Prepare Future Farmers

The club work demonstrates how to

make farming and home-making a:

practicalbusiness, and shows rural

young people why they should decline“.
to add themselves to the crowded thou-

sands of the cities.
But the club work is just as import-
ant for city boys and girls as it is for

those in the country. The rural yQung '.

people need the club group work be-.
cause of their isolation from social life
and their lack of community leader-

ship; the city boys and girls need it in ,

order that their gangs and cliques
with oftentimes detrimental atmos-

pheres, may be transformed to asso- ,

ciations with constructive, creative,
and helpful programs through which
they may become familiar with Amen
ica's greatest industry, agriculture, and
the fundamental principles 1 of. home—
making. Club work does not recognize
distinctions in the service of boys and
girls. Members of both rural and city
groups attend the same club meetings
and work together on a._ common pro-
gram of work for the improvement of
agriculture and home life.

a good answer to this ufi‘expected ques-
tion.

“Then I can desc1ibe wisdom in the
same way. It’s the opposite of ignor-
ance.”

Spotted Tail frowned when the 0th
els laughed and clapped their paws. at
this 1etort.

“But what I meant,” continued the
discomfitted rabbit, recovering his com.

‘posure, “is the application of wisdom.

How do we know a thing is wise until
we’ve tried it?”

“How do we know a thing is hot or
cold until we’ve burnt or frozen our

paw? By experience, Spotted Tail, we»

know that it isn’t necessary to run
into a fire and scorch ourselves every
time we see one to find out whether it
is hot.” ,
“Exactly, Bumper,-but some things
we don’t know by experience. Suppose
you had never been in the water and
didn’t know how to swim, but you’d
seen other animals swim. Now, if you
fell in the water, what would you do?

Would the knowledge that you’d seen

others swim save you?” ‘

“Perhaps,” replied Bumper hesitate
ingly. Then, smiling, he added: “But
the first thing I’d do would be to look
around for a raft. That would he sat:
er thantrying to learn t6 swim. Don’t
you think that would be the wise thing
to do?”

“Yes, if there was a raft handy. But K

suppose there was none in sight. What
would you do then?” .

' Bumper stretched himself, and an-
swered lazily: “I can’t say, Spotted
Tail, until I Was put to the test. But
I think I’d use my wits or try to.”

They had been sunning themselves.

l "to 111111. ”it asked:
“can you swim, Bumper? Were you
ever in the water over your need?
“No, " Bumper answered truthfully,
- “but some day I must learn. I think

I’ll begin to take lessons.”

“Well, today is as good a day as any
to begin,” replied Spotted Tail.

Before Bumper realized what he
meant by this remark, he leaped high

' in the air, and landed on the other end
of the spring- board with a thud The
result was that Bumper was shot

.~; straight up into the air nearly two feet

t . right over the deepest part of the riv-

' " "er. He turned a complete somersault

' in the air, and made a frantic st1 uggle

to reach the end of the board as he

came down. But he missed it by a
foot, and fell plump in the river.

'He went down, down, down out of
sight It seemed an age bef01e he
came up again, wet,bed1aggled and
puffing. The f1ight caused by his sud-
den ducking threatened to make him
panicky, and his first thought was to
squeal for help and splash around like
a child in a bathtub.

But Spotted Sail’s words aroused
him. “Now, Bumper,” he called, “you
have got a chance to use your Wits.
Let me see what you can do to get
ashore "

It was a cruel, cold- blooded thing to
do, and the othe1 rabbits who had seen
the whole thing from the shore came
scurrying to the rescue, shouting:
“Shame! Shame on you, Spotted
Tail!”

But, of course, this didn’t help Bump-
er any. The water was very deep
where he had fallen in, and there
wasn’t the sign of anything that could
be used as a raft. Could he swim?
Not much! 'By frantic efforts he could
keep his head above water.. Nearly
every wild animal can do~this even

~ ‘ when a tiny baby. But that wouldn’t

' get him to shore until he was ex-

hausted. '

But just when he was beginning to
feel that he would drown his hind feet
touched something. It was a big rock
in the middle of the stream which
could not be seen from the spring-
board or the shore. Bumper found that
by standing on his two hind feet on the
rock, he could just keep his head and
l neck above the surface. This gave
" him sudden courage, and a thought. He
stood stock still on the rock, and turn
ed to the one who had thrown him in.

“than to swim.
water like this?”

Spotted Tail and the others were
amazed by the sight of Bumper stand-
ing perfectly still in the deep water,
with his head and neck just above the
surface.

“Come now, Spotted Tail, you have
challenged me to everything you could
think of,” continued Bumper. “Now
it’s your turn to accept my challenge.
' Either show me that you can stand in

the deep water, or desist from further

attempts to humiliate me. You must

do one or the other, or I shall hold

your challenge in contempt hereafter.”

Of course, Spotted. Tail knew he

could never perform this miracle, and

he was at a loss to understand how

Bumper could do it. “Then,” contin-

ued Bumper when he showed no inten-

. tion of coming in, “you are disgraced
‘1 before all of your people.”

CHEAPEST PROTEIN FEED.

What would be the best protein feed
to make a balanced ration for milch
cows; also fattening two-year-old cat-
tle, with the following: I have plenty
of clover hay, bean straw, corn silage,

cornstalks, corn and Oats.A1so,'how
much should I' feed?
Sanilac Co. H. P

Oil meal and cottonseed meal would
undoubtedly be the cheapest and best
protein feeds to feed with the "other
feeds which you have for your ration.
You have two‘ good protein foods in
your roughage rations, clover hay and
bean straw. For your grain ration,
however, you lack protein, although
corn and oats me a splendid basic
grain ration. I would suggest that you
feed each cow two pounds of oil meal

a day or two pounds of cottonseed
then a sufficient

meal a day and
amount of corn and oats gnound to
make a pound of grain, including oil
meal and cottonseed meal, for every
three or four pounds of milk she pro-
duces in a day. The roughage should
be fed liberally but without waste. '

BEETS FOR DAIRY cows.-

Please tell me the best way to feed

Allegan Co. H. R-

Beets for a part of the ration is a
splendid food for dairy cows, but
would not feed over one peck night
and morning to a cow Your roughage
of corn foddei is not sufficient to get
best results. You ought to get one
feed a day of hay, also corn on the
cob does not contain a sufficient
amount of proteins to get good results.
If you can't get hay,- of course vou can
get along with corn fodder, but you
ought to feed more grain. I would sug-

. gest that you mix com meal and wheat

bian, equal pai ts, and then feed about
two pounds of oil meal And besides,
you should feed enough of corn meal

and bran with two pounds of oil meal V
so that each cow will get a pound of . ,1

grain for every three or four pounds

FAT CATTLE 'SCARCE.

EVER before in thehistory of the
Chicago cattle trade was‘there a
time when there was such a scarcity of

properly finished fat cattle throughout
all of the large feeding districts of the

corn belt states. Comparatively few
of the stock feeders who are engaged
in producing fat beeves for the market
went in this year for maturing cattle
well, the popular idea being'that the
best policy was to »marketica‘ttle after
grazing in pastures and furnishing a
little corn on grass. Warmed up and
short fed cattle have greatly predomi-
nated in the markets of the country.
Such holdings were mostly marketed
during the last few months, with nu-
melons reservations for' marketing
during the week of the International
Live Stock Exposition, part being ex-
hibited in the big stock show end com-
peting for prizes. A few remaining
lots of prime beeves were kept back
for the Christmas holidays, but the

country's supply of fat beeves is near-
.11LV- exhausted. Prices for prime steers
are now little mere than n01nin-al,- the

beat steers offéred on Monday of least
Week selling for $17@18 per hundred

are of the opinion that it does not pay

eagerness of owners to marketjheir'fl

stock is indicated by the raefit that}

during two consecutive weeks close to?"
200 000 head of cattle arrived on’ the,

Chicago market. These extensive 11132.:-

ketings have included lots of stockers.

and feeders, and great numbers have“. - "

gene back to feeding disuicts, the"
larger shale selling at marked reduc-
tions in prices. . It is believed that;
stock cattle purchased carétully ~will
make good returns to their owners 1

fed right. Fat cattle ale selling at far
higher prices than in years prior to
1918, and tulning back to 1911, it is re-
called that steers were selling late in.

THE HOG TRADE.

IDELY varying prices for h6g5
offered (in the V Chicago market
are common still, these depending very
largely on the volume of supplies fur-
nished by country shippers. The great- '
est uncertainty has prevailed all the
time regaidin'g p1_ices,andvthe evident
fear of many stock feeders that prices
will go lower than ever ultimately ex-
plains the liberal receipts much of the
time. Everywhere owners are hurry»
ing their hogs to malket as soon as
they get faii size, most of the hogs be-
ing either medium or light weights, the
proportion of heavy hogs being very
small. The materially enlarged purr
chases made by eastern. shippers imf
parted more strength to the market at
times, the outgo being on a large scale fi
quite 1ecehtly,-so that theie is at last
real competition between buyers of the
better class of swine. Seldom m the
past has the spread in prices been so
borrow as it. is now, with the great
bulk of the offerings selling within a
range of fifteen cents and heavy and
light butchers going at same prices:

MARKETING LIGHT CATTLE.

ATTLE of very light weights pre-
dominate greatly this year in the
receipts in western markets. During
the expired eleven months of, 1919 the
seven leading markets received in the:
aggregate "11,209,878 head of cattle,
showing a decrease. of 657.600 head
from the receipts for the correspond-'
ing months of 1913; while the receipts-
of calves reached a totalfif 1,561,883-
head,-al-gain of 294,503. 1191111.. ’.Stock--.

younger in ages than in former years,
and old- fashioned hea1y steers are sel-
dom seen these times, baby beef béing

an almost unbroken decline in the av-
erage weights of cattle receipts in the,
Chicago stock yards since 1915, when
the average stood at, 1,046 pounds.
comparing with 941 pounds in 1918'.— '
and with 930 pounds this year. Many'_

The half-acre used was new land
which had been pastured for several

MAKING HATCHING EGGS PAY.

(Continued from page 3).

several large pickle concerns operat-‘i~

both the buyer and the seller a chance .’ .

to bear some of the risk of poor hatch— ‘ -

es. Some poultrymen will replace all;

infertile eggs but most of them only

guarantee a certain per cent of. for
tility.

One breeder of much experience teld
me that he would not sell hatching
eggs in one-hundred-egg lots to strang-
ers to place in incubators.
because seine buyers had purchased
large numbers of his best eggs and
placed them in prior incubators wnich
were given worse attention. ()1 course
the hatches were poor and then the
buyers wished more eggs free or their
money back. That poultryman caters
only to the buyers of one or two set:
tings who place the eggs under hens
and he’does a good hatching egg busi-
, ness and the buyers are satisfied.

‘ Before selling hatching eggs the
breeder must have quality stock of
good vigor and playing ability. The
eggs must be gathered frequently in
the early spring to keep them from
chilling. 'Late in the season the over-
heating of the eggs will be as danger-
ous as chilling. The germ will start to

. grow and then become chilled and die.
Of course, these things all reduce the
quantity and quality of chicks hatched.
The customers are not pleased and it
is the business of the seller to build:
business by delivering the quality,
goods which bring repeat orders and
more customers.

The farmer with purebredstock can ‘

lJ.

do his best to sell eggs of quality. Then
it is up to the buyer to bring out suc-
cessful hatches. The fact that most
owners and breeders of purebred stock
are honest reduces the risks of the’
business and helps to make it more

 

conditions. The big laying months of
the. year are’March, April and May.
That is the time of hatching and also
the, time of low-priced eggs.

eggs can be sold for hatching

A test made by the Cornell University
roves the value of a purebred Holstein
ull 1n grading 11p a herd of ordinary

cows. A cow, three-quarters Holstein,
in 45 weeks, produced 11, 693 pounds of
milk containing 413 pounds of butterfat,
and another three- -quaiter blood Hol-
stein cow, in 48 weeks, produced 13, 574
pounds of milk containing 430 pounds
of butterfat. A purebred Holstein bull
is one of the most business- like invest-

FIRST EDITION.

 

The markets in this edition were re-
vised and corrected on, TuesdayL after-
noon, December 30.

WHEAT.

Quotations on wheat in Canada have
suddenly advanced fifty cents a bush-
el. The wheat market in this country
holds steady and so does tile flour mar-
ket. Receipts in Detroit on Monday
were one car, against live a year ago.
Shipments were 3,000 bushels. Stocks
are 72,000 bushels, against 72,000 a
year ago. There is not much activity
in the market for wheat or flour, but
mill feeds are eagerly sought.
quotations are as follows:

No. 1 red .............. $249

 

No.1 mixed 2147
No. 1 white 2.47
'No- 2 red 0.0.0.... IIIII 2-4
Nougred OOOOQOOOOIDIIOI 2-43
CORN.

Reports from Chicago indicate that
farmers are not selling any corn at
present prices. After the small sup-

Detroit ,

showing an upward tendency. Prime
red clover quoted in Detroit at $31.60
per bushel for spot and March; alsike
$31.50 per bushel; timothy $5.75@5.85.

. POTATOES.“

The supplies are moderate and the
market firm with little change in pric-
es. Quality and condition ,is good, a
few frosted shipments reported; De-
troit market, sales tojobbers, of U- S.
No. 1 well-graded Michigan stock of
round whites in 150-pound sacks most-
ly at per sack. Canadian round
white stock selling at about ten cents
per sack lower. At Chicago the mar-
ket is slightly weaker. Track sales of
Michigan U. S. Grade No. 1 round
white stock are reported at $3.45@
-.:l.50 per cwt. In Cleveland the market
is steady and the movement moderate
with no change in prices. New York
round. white stock U. S. Grade No. 1 is
selling at $5.25@5.50 per 150-pound

sack.
BUTTER.

The market is slightly lower and the
consumption at ,the lower prices is
hardly taking care of. the surplus. At
Detroit fresh Creamery butter is quot-

plies now held at country elevators is‘ pd at 611/30 Del‘ pound; fresh creamery

moved there will be very little good
corn available unless prices advance.
The outlook for the new crop in ..Ar-
gentina is very favorable and if pres-
ent weather conditions continue gener—
ally we can look for a substantial har-
vest from there along in March. In
Detroit the corn market was consider-
ed rather high Saturday and prices
have not advanced. There is a, gener-
al feeling in market circles that values
will continue to advance as the farm-
ers are not likely to continue to sell
corn unless the market is favorable.
In Detroit the prices are as follows:

Cash No. 3 ............. $1.46
No. 3 yellow... ..... 1.48
No. 4 yellow. . . . . ....... 1.44
No. 5 yellow ...... . . ..... 1.40
No. 6 yellow ............ 1.36

In Chicago No. 3 mixed corn is quot-

:‘ed at $1.361/2 and No. 2 yellow, old, at

$1.43; January $1.31; May 1.29.

OATS.

The oat market is exhibiting consid-

jerable strength as a result of the heavy
' buying for export purposes.

The re-
cent advance in quotations on wheat
in Canada has stimulated the demand
for oats and the trend of the market
is upward. At Detroit the market has
advanced slightly during the past week
although half a cent per bushel is the
maximum gain. Quotations in Detroit
are as follows:

Cash No.2 ..... ...........89

No. 3 white ...............88%

'No.4white ..... ..........87

RYE.

Rye is holding steady and there is

considerable talk of a heavy export de- ‘F‘eeders

mand, although no heavy sales have
been reported. Local prices for Cash
No. 2 are $1.78 per bushel.

BEANS.

The bean market is improving, but
only moderate activity is reported. De-
troit beans for prompt shipment are
quoted at $7.35 per cwt. for hand—pick-
ed pea beans. January at $7.45 per cwt.
At Chicago moderate activity is noted
at former prcies. Supply is ample to
meet present requirements. Pea beans,
hand-picked, choice to fancy, are now
quoted at $7.50@8 per cwt; red kid~
neys $13.50@13.75 per cwt. There is
no indication of a slump in prices dur-‘
ing the next few days.

HAY.

The hay market is holding firm ow-
ing to small receipts. Detroit dealers
are doing no shipping. Present values
are as follows:~ No. 1 timothy $30.50
@31; standard $29.50@30; light mixed
$29.50@30; No. 2 timothy $28.50@29;
No. 3 timothy $25@27; No. 1 mixed at
$28.50@29; No. 1 clover $28.50@29;
rye straw $13.50@14 per ton in carlots.

FEEDS.

The feed market shows no changes
since last week. Quotations are as
follows: Bran $48@49; standard mid-
dlings $50@51; fine middlings $6161)
63; coarse corn meal $60@63; cracked
corn $65; chop $53@56 per ton in 100-

EGGS.

This week’s quotations are lower al-
though the demand continues quite
good. New-laid eggs are scarce and the
offerings are promptly picked up at a
wide range of pl'iCPS.- Consumption has
decreased and enough eggs are in
sight to meet the market requirements.
At Detroit fresh eggs are worth 620 a.

GRAND RAPIDS .,

Retail price of farm seeds advanced
last week on all5varieties except tim—
othy. which is steady at $6.50 a bushel.
Prices of other.Seeds are: Medium
clover $32.50; mammoth $33.50; alsike
$.33; alfalfa $25@29; ,sweet clover .at
$22; vetch $24. Wholesale dealers ‘and
jobbers report the largest Christmas
busines in their history, notwithstand-
ing prices were double on most prod”-
ucts before the war. Retailers of poul-
try report employers and employes
alike bought turkeys at 55c per pound;
Loose tim-
othy hay dropped to $27 per ten at the
city market during the. week., Baled
is preferred as it has also declined in
price. Demand for Christmas trees and
holly is growing less each year. Job-
bers had fewer'cars of trees, yet one
car of trees and one of holly went to
the city dump. Owing to short crop of
rutabaga turnips in this section of the
state, ten ~cars have already been im-
ported from Canada this season. Some
winter—made dairy butter is arriving
on the market, but little No. 1 grade.
'Price paid is 500 a pound. Potatoes
are $ .90 per bushel and some farmers
sold or $2 last week. Receipts con-

tinue light.
WOOL

A rather quiet week on the Boston
wool market has developed one inter-
esting phase. The situation in medium
wool is not so hopeless as former re-
ports appear. It is being intimated
that stocks of the wool which were So

Dear Sir:— .

Your letter of February 23, making lnqurry
regarding the Michigan State Auto School
received.

Their methods 01 instruction, lectures and
theories are 100% perfect. W 1th all or their
equipment and with the practical work that
students are able to get in their own organiza-
tion, I really believe that mechanics thruout

the country are missing one great on ortunity .

if they (lo not take advantage of the r course.

I do not know ot another place in the country

that has the number of different type In tors.

chassis. and the. thoroughness of going into

various electrical appliances and equipments

as used on modern motor cars. that I found in
' their school.

I most heartily endorse the course.

We have a great many graduates from this
school in our employ and every one has given
entire satisfaction.

Very truly yours. . _ 7 ‘
