When you asked the reason why, and were told that lime brought about the transformation,were you not impressed with the great importance of lime in the development of a better and a great— er agriculture? The best scientific and practical information points to the fact that liming is the first step in the improve- ment of an acid soil. , If the soil is acid and clover fails, lime is the only cure. If on good land, alfalfa fails, even though the soil was inoculated, lime is absolutely necessary for success. A field of thin clover is usually full, of sheep sorrel, plantain and other weeds. If , the seil is acid, lime the land andgrow better clover to smother the yveeds. How often alfalfa grows thin=and ’spindling because .of'a deficient lime supply in the soil. The grass and weeds thrive because the weak alfalfa offers little or no competition. ‘Why fool away time with such alfalfa? ‘Why allow the weeds to triumph over the crop you want? Lime the land. The 3.1- falfa will then grow strong and thick. The weeds and grass have no chance. It’s the survival of the fittest; and it’s lime for the fittest. , Soy beans will grow fairly well on acid sandy soils, but they grow best on sands sufficiently supplied with lime. Peas are a profitable crop, but they are more profitable on soils that are not acid. Mammoth clover is the best clover for sands, but real success can be attained only when this cr0p is sup- plied with lime. Of the small grains, barley responds best to liming. I have seen ninety per cent of a barley crop stand up on the limed portion of an acid field, and ninety per cent go flat on a portion of same field not limed—other conditions being equal. Hemp grows best on lime soils. The best hemp-growing sections in the world are in areas in which the soils have been derived from limestone, or where the soils are not acid.

BARNES. or the United States Future Grain Corporation has Gram issued a warning to Prices the licensees of the corporation to the ef- fect that there may be a serious slump in wheat prices when the government guarantee expires ncxt June. In this warning Mr. Barnes calls attention to the depleted credit of foreign countries and to the ruinous exchange rates which they are obliged to pay in order to purchase goods in our market. In itself and as applied to general trade this is a good argument. Un- doubtedly the stabilization of foreign credit is one of the most important in- ternational reconstruction problems. Likewise the ability of foreign peoples to purchase our goods on an equitable basis'is bound to be an important fac— tor in our continued commercial pros- perity. But the outlook does not seem to be as immediately alarming as Mr. Barnes’ statement would indicate. The government’s price guarantee of $2.26 per bushel (at primary markets has been left away behind in the advanc- ing price of wheat, probably due in part to the influence of the strong po- sition of other cereals, but to no small extent to a general demand for milling purposes. The premium above the guaranteed price is even more marked than was the case last year, which may, however, be in part due to less ssmgent government control, but is also We believe, to no small extent due to a steady milling demand for. the grain. speculative holding is also doubtless a factor in the situation, but this is indicative of the judgment of themde wilhrsg‘ard to the £11th uncertain efieCt'of the winter on the growing crop is taken into considera- tion. ' Then. too, it must beconsideredtbat governmental policy to reduce the cost ' of living may have been a moving fac- tor in Mr. Barnes’ statement. In case the United States Grain Corporation is in possession of the holidover of wheat next June, or of a. large propor- tion of it,;it would be in a position to make the price on that residue and to some extent on the new crop. it is a reasonable conclusion that on the pres- out market little if any wheat is being turned over to the grain. corporation at the guaranteed price. No. 2 red wheat is not,r selling at around 32.62 per bushel in this market, or around forty-five cents above the government price. notwithstanding Mr. Barnes’ statement. Of course, no man is sufficiently wise to predict the future of the foodstuifs 'market'with any degree of accuracy. These are uncertain times and many 1mnshal disturbing'factors enter into the situation. Wheat Director Barnes has but done his duly in issuing this warning to his licensees if it repre- ‘ sents his best judgment as an advanc- ed student of the grain situation with unusual opportunities for its compre- hensive study. But his judgment in the matter is not infallible. With pres- ent price tendencies strong on com- mercial products of all kinds, food- stuffs are not likely to slump badly or permanently, since under the condi— tions which surround their production, an immediate shrinkage in production would undoubtedly l‘OSlllt, thus causing a reaction. Stabilized values at the present time and in the near future, would best serve the interests of consumers as well as producers. Let us hope that trade conditions will continue to favor them, notwithstanding Director Barnes' pessimistic predictions. Continued con- fidence on the part of a busy people will go far toward accomplishing that result. OUN TRY life has - r0 dene ' re- R l "9 ‘b a d 111 . he cent years and now m t occupies a place much Home larger than the little round of daily routine that formerly constituted the total ac- tivities of many folks. The knowl- edge and the spirit which have led rural life out of its old past came very largely from homes supplied with lib- raries and reading tables. We have competent leaders who have not had a wide acquaintance with books, but con- sidering people in the mass, it is true that the reading community is almost invariably the progressive community, and the reading farmer an influential one. The homes with libraries include our best homes, while homes that send out the incorrigible specimens of the race are generally without helpful books. Libraries usually change the general atmosphere of the home, for when the members of the household have the ad— vantage of ideas gleaned in reading, their conversation rises above the pet- ty things of everyday living that annoy the unread, and dwells upon subjects of new interest which carries the mind to things worth while. Good reading is an efficient alterant for complaining, gossiping and imaginary ill health, and supplies a person with a. reserve from which to draw in times of sickness, during old age, or whenever the hours are not filled with eillployment.- Then, too. it is easier to keep the boys and girls interested in the home where reading as been emnhasized. Such an interest is a. standard antidote for harmful outside Mucous. ,The farmer who takes pains to provide his home with good reading is making an investment that will mm div- Agriculturai 'News COMMITTEE SELEGTS SURNATOR IAL CANDLDRTES. ‘AST week -the legislative coma; tees or the State Grantee, the State 5‘“ Association of Farmers’ Clubs and the Gleaner organization met in Detroit, in pursuance of the plan inaugurated "by these bodies some time ago to unite in. naming a choice for governor of Mich- igan in behalf of the farmers of the state. Several meetings of these com- mittees have been: held, at some of which prominent farmers of the state have been invited to participate, but no definite action was taken until the meeting held in Detroit last week, when Milo D. Campbell, of Goldwater, was petitioned to make the race for governor in the 1920 primaries, and tendered the support of the organiza- tions which they represent. The members of the joint committee who took this action were as follows: For the State Grange, J. C. Ketcham, N. P. Hull and J. C. Hutchins; for the State. Association of Farmers’ Clubs, A. B. Cook, Alfred Allen and James N. McBride; for the Gleaner organization, Grant Slocum, Ross Holloway and George Strachan. The Committee’s Candidate. Milo D. Campbell, who was petition ed by the committee to enter the race for Governor of Michigan, needs no in- troduction to many Michigan Farmer readers, since his later public activi- ties have been closely connected with the industry, notably as president of the National Milk Producers’ Associa- tion, and Chairman of 'the Genera. Board of the National Board of Farm Organizations. Mr. Campbell has al ways been a resident of Branch county Michigan, having been born in Quincy township, that county, in 1851. He is in every sense of the word a self—made man, having secured his general and technical education by his own efforts. He made the law his profession, but was repeatedly called to public service. He has served a term in the legisla- ture and two terms as private secre- tary to Governor Luce. Later he was connected with the state prison board and the railroad crossing board of the state by appointment of subsequent governors. Governor Pingree appoint- ed him as state insurance commission- er, and later to the state tax commis- sion upon its creation, of which body Mr. Campbell was chairman. Mr. Campbell has served as mayor of the city of Goldwater, and has served sev- eral terms as United States Marshal for the eastern district of Michigan He is the owner of :1 fine and highly productive farm in his home county. and in his more reCent activities as representing the membership of the farm organizations of which he has been a prominent official, he has been a ready and efficient spokesman for ag- riculture. CON‘TEMPLATE A COMMUNITY POWER PLANT. ARMERS and residents of the towns and villages of northern Ionia, southeastern Montcalm and southwestern Gratiot counties have launched a movement looking toward the establishment of a hydro-electric plant at .Hubbardston oanish Creek for supplying electric current to these villages and surrounding farming com- munities for both lighting and power purposes.

The problem we were up against on our farm each year was insufficient grain production, especially corn, be- cause we keep more live stoCk than the grain we raised on the usual meth- od of feeding would feed. 'We usually fed out our ninety-acre com cr0p by the first of February, (that being the average acreage er, corn we plant each year), and then were obliged to buy, which very mate- rially reduced our profits. Having three one-hundred-ton silos it took about one-half of our corn acre- age to fill these silos as this was done while the stalks and ears were com- paratively green, as is the usual cus- tom in making corn silage. This left us about forty to fifty acres of corn to husk and represented our season’s ear corn supply, averaging thirty to forty bushels per'acre, as we usually experience considerable dry weather in our locality during the lat- ter part of July and all of August. These conditions naturally made us keen for anything which would enable us to get more feed out of our corn crop and I am happy to say that stov- er silage not only solved our problem, .but added very materially to our prof- its and proved to us that we had been wasting tons and tons of very valuable feed, just as the majority of farmers are still doing and have done for years, as we had, by letting their corn fodder go to waste standing on the: hill in the field or even feeding it out of the shock or as shredded fodder. Two years ago I decided we would harvest our corn crop on the newer plan—that is, the stover silage plan, but I found some objection on the part of my farm help, particularly my herdsman. While ,my investigations seemed to be conclusively favorable to stover silage, the herdsman did not like to take a chance on silage which had little or no ear corn in it. His testing season was coming on and he did not like the idea of experimenting as we had several thirty-pound prospects in the herd. ~ So I compromised with him. We fill. ed one silo with corn silage in the us- ual way. The other two with stover silage, taking out the ears and putting them in the crib. We cut and shocked the balance of our corn crop doing this at the usual time and did not fill the .two silos in which we put stover silage at the time we filled the one with corn silage because in making stover silage the fodder must be ripe, also the ears, _ for two reasons. ‘Not until the fodder is matured does l. itxpossfess‘its full food value. The ‘same is 1,1, the ears. and the ears must it tenants to put them in and when the one filled with corn sile age had been fed out, the herd was put on the stover silage. Did our produc- tion fall off? No. Our daily milk sheets and our cream Phecks showed no material change and naturally we; were highly gratified. last of March and although we fed just as many hogs as usual we had ear corn in the crib when husking and fill- ing time came around the following fall, something we never had on the corn silage plan. wintered twenty head of purebred young heifers ranging in age from four months to fifteen months on stover sil- Our Experience With Stover Silage. G. Wade I | ‘Finally all three silos were filled, \Ve re-filled again in January and During that first experience we also age and oat straw. .They did not have a mouthful of grain and they came through in Splendid condition. By saving half of our corn crop by not cutting and putting it, ears and all, into our silo as corn silage, we fig- ured we saved about 1,500 bushels of ears, as that year our corn yield was above our average and as the stover silage seemed to furnish us with silage of as good food value as the corn sil— age the ear corn was clear gain. At the prices prevailing then, about $1.50 per bushel, it was a saving of over two thousand dollars. Last year we cut and shocked every hill of our com and filled our three silos with stover silage, putting the ears in the crib. The balance of the crop is standing in the shock (it would be better if in stacks) and will remain in the field until we refill, which we will do twice before spring work op- ens. In this way we get enough ear corn to run us and will have silage un- til filling time again. Stover silage has effected a big sav- ing in feed costs for us, not only in ear corn; but in hay. And when we think of the tons and tons of fodder we have allowed to waste away in the field, it makes us almost weep. Many farmers feed their cornstalks in the bundle, others shred, and in this way figure they are not wasting it, but there is where we fooled ourselves, too, because fodder fed dry in bundles or shredded has only about fifteen per cent food value. Stock. will not eat it 'up clean, especially when not cut up and a great deal of the food value is in the hard, flinty stalk. But when you cut it up and put it in a silo with plenty of water as silo is being filled (not afterward) the sugars and starches are released and this is the reason that stover silage has as much food value as corn silage made from immature stalks, leaves and ears. The experiment conducted at the Illi- nois University is the best proof of the fopd value of stover silage as compar- ed with corn silage. It showed that breeding cows were wintered on stover silage at a cost of 7.8 cents per head per day, while on regular corn silage the cost was 24.8 cents per head per day.

For twenty-five years, as a bankerfl have watched the individual expansion of business. I have seen many indi— viduals so interested in. the success of their immediate enterprises that they felt no responsibility to industry and trade as a whole; thus clouding their vision for larger things and later re— sulting to their own detriment. _ A dwarfing of vision from the collec- tive to the individual viewpoint has often been destructive 'of America's in- terests. It will be equally destructive in our foreign trade. ,, The private bus- iness man intent on making money and developing his own bank account often turns down the large opportunity which would not only have made him afactor in city or national life, but would have increased his own business had he pos- sessed a. larger vision. Europe will not always be in the po- sition she is in today» .She will re- trieve her losses much more quickly than we think, and, incidentally, be seeking to regain her own foreign mar- kets. When that time comes foreign competition will again be keen. The one thing then which will give Amerir on her supremacy will be the ‘same thing Which- has made America. great ever since she entered the war—allay ._ predation of he: international reopen sibilitiesedj- ’ ‘ j * ‘ ‘ Because therein lies our fir ‘ We have got to . , EM.“ "*——~.__._. ‘,.._ ,. u . l AYMVN‘V_‘ ‘ a"... “W._._—_;. ’ >_ 4— v; _-,.

J. 12066715072 HE subject of managing a dairy I herd has a great bearing upOn the future profits of 'the busi- ness. Thef'demand for dairy products in the form of whole milk, butter, cream, cheese, condensed milk, etc., is stimulating the business of dairying. The dairy business is also proving the salvation of many Michigan farms where a too one-sided system of crop growing, without the necessary provis- ion for plant food, has rendered the land unproductive. Years ago, whenthe land was new and the fertility seemingly adequate to last forcenturies, farmers did not rec- ognize the importance of feeding live stock and returning the fertility to the land, but today the farmer is finding it necessary to help nature to sustain life in the soil if he is to succeed in doing his share toward feeding a hungry world. , The statement that two-thirds of the twenty-three million dairy cows in the United States do not make a profit for their owners leads us to sit down and do senie mighty hard thinking and start out with a determination to weed out our own herds and send every in- ferior animal that is not able to pay for its board to the shambles. W'itli land valued at from $175 to $400 per acre it requires no close figuring to convince us that we cannot afford to decorate our pastures and fill our barns with scrub cows that eat their heads off and fail to say “I thank you” for their daily food. How fare we farmers going to set about the problem of cleaning out the robber cows in our herds and put our business on a basis that will pay us the customary ten per cent profit for what we do for them“? Now, we can- not go into every cow stable and sell every cow-that is not a high producer and put in their places a few purebred animals, and then go to our bank and start making heavy deposits. A lot of us would be worse off With purebred dairy cows than we are with our grade herds, because we would not have the experience necessary to care for and feed them so as to bring out their best qualities. The desire to own purebred stock is praiseworthy, but unless a man is thoroughly qualified to care for them they Will prove as useless, and far more expensive, than vigorous grade animals. Alivays bear in mind that scrub feeding and scrub care will make a scrub out of the best purebred animal in the land. , I have no purebred cattle on my farm. at present, neither have I the m0st convenient barns and equipment like many of the wealthy farmers in the state, but we are endeavoring to do the best we can with what we have and with the feed we can raise, and to bring [our land up to a higher state of fertility. With better cows and the growing of corn, oats, clover and a1- falfa and feeding them out on our farm we hope to build up a better system than the one we are now practicing. My advice is not to keep more cows than you can give proper care and suf- ficient feed. Do not think because your milk check, cream check, or whate'ver . it‘may be, is a large one from a herd g of twenty cows that you cannot make Ta {tenter‘proflt by cutting down the he .3 ten ofithe'real good cows and ,5 after . ,better smaller check at the end of each month but you will have more money‘at the end of the year. if you feed only the" . better producers. It is not always the. large herd that makes the most profit. Use better sires, raise the best heifer calves from the best cows and give them the best of all calf-fobds—skim- milk. I do not know of a single in- stance where a dairy farmer has suc- ceeded in raising good-thrifty calves by feeding them water and prepared calf meals. These calf meals come near to, being a substitute for skim- milk, but they do not give good results unless they are fed along with skim- milk, which is necessary to promote growth and build body tissues. Proper development of the calf is one of the prime essentials of developing a high- producing dairy cow. It is nothing less than a disgrace to the dairy industry to visit farms where the calves are neglected and see the poor, scrawny little creatures humped up in fence corners. Such stunted animals can nev- er develop into high-class cows, no-mat- ter how well they may be fed and car- ed for after they reach maturity. \Ve must breed and feed so that we will have yearling heifers that weigh between five and seven hundred pounds without carrying an excess of fat by the time they are one year old. Then we will know that there is some chance of our making progress in the way of developing a profitable herd of. cows. In my experience in feeding calves I have found ground oats, with the hulls removed, an excellent feed to mix with skinrmilk, gradually teaching the calf to eat the dry grain and hay. A little grain is needed to keep them growing until they are a year old. So much for-,the calves, now for the time when the calfbecomes a cow. Is she going to be properly developed to pay you for all you have done for "her? ‘ That is the big question. If she had a good sire for a father and a fairly good cow for a mother, the rest is up to you. If she has good care the chances are that she and her offSpring will be wor» thy of a place in your herd. Tile day of guesswork in feeding the dairy cow has gone. a profit from our herds we must fix certain standards and do our best to bring. each animal up to them. We must figure out well balanced rations by using what feeds we raise on the farm, with the addition of such feeds as may be needed to-properly supple? ‘ ment them in making up the required ‘ amount of protein. Every dairy farmer should breed and feed for the six thousand pounds of milk per year per cow at least, weigh her milk at least once a week and keep a record of her butterfat yield. The scales and Babcock test will prove of untold value in keeping you posted re- garding the production records of the individuals in your herd. If some of the cows should fail to produce the six thousand ounds of milk a year take an inven cry of your methods of care and feeding and if you are thoroughly convinced you have done the best you can by them, sell them to the‘butcher. Grow all of the good clover and al- falfa, hast, that you can and enough good corn to fill a silo. If [you have enough land to grow corn and oats for grain you can keep production costs down very low “9 “.1133? T HE .eM-rr c H1;*e"'AJH¥ *"2'F3A' =R ME.

While it is readily controlled by sprays, 11. annually causes a heavy loss. because of inattention to spraying, in- efficient spraying materials, careless methods of application, 01‘ failure to spray at the right time. Crop yields in certain localities have frequently been cut from forty to sixty per cent and unsprayed fruit is usually so un— sightly thatit, is practically worthless for marketing. ' The climatic conditions of Michigan are ideal for scab infection which re— quires frequent rains followed by mug— gy weather which does not allow the trees to dry, causing a favorable con.- dition for scab growth. The character of the injury is per— haps known to all of you. The fungous attacks fruit, foliage and twigs, but the g1e11test damage is done to the fruit on which it produces the sooty— appenring spot. These spots are irreg- u-lar' in shape and size but as arms when the fruit is infected at an early stzge it becomes deformed as it en- larges. This naturally is 21 very ob- jectionable feature. The fungus may also attack the buds and blossoms on unsprayed trees caus- ing a great reduction of the crop. The fungus that attacks the apple is not the same fungus that troubles the :pear but is of another species closely trelated. ll persists over winter, not i only on twigs but also on fallen leaves. Infected leaves remaining on the ground over winter permit the fungus to complete a stugein its life history. In the spring about the time the buds are breaking, “winter spores” are ma- tured from the old scab spots on the fallen leave-:1. These spores an: spread by the wind and if moisture conditions are favorable infections take place at once on the leaves. These new infec- tions can produce “summer spores” in a. period of two' weeks, if conditions are favorable. The summer spores serve as 11 constant source of infection. all throughout the season and the fungus becomes established. . in spraying for scab the fundament— al point. to remember is that it is a pre- ventative and not a curative measure. The fungicide must be” applied before the infection takes place, for the ac- tions of the spray is to preVent the germination of the spore 01' to destroy the fungous growth before it can pen- etrate the cuticle. From the results of the experiments canted on by the federal government, foi the 1311113038 of deteImining the best fungicides to use in controlling apple scab it has been definitely proven that the best control has been effected when commercial lime and sulphur has been used. Bordeaux mixture also gave very good results and either one of Vthese two fungicides may be depended .upon. The time of application and ‘ Inumber of sprays to p111; on a1 8‘ often questions in the mind of the ‘grower The first spray should be' put on at the ltime the bud clusters are just begin- ning to separate and perhaps a few of the buds are showing slightly white at tip. This is 'a 'very ‘lmportant in previbus years, Otherwise‘it is often omitted, depending.‘ a; great deal upon weather conditions.

A‘- dry'Qspring will be very un- favorable for scab infection and furtlr er spraying. will not be necessary until fall when the orchard should be cov- ered again about a month before pick: ing time to prevent late infection. In conclusion let me say that in car- rying out this spray schedule or any spraying practice there are three very important principles that should be kept in mind. I , L Choose a good reliable fungicide and be sure of the proper strength to use for each application. 2. Cover the tree thoroughly. care- fully and do the work conscientiously. 3. Apply the spray at the proper time, and at the critical time and not at any indefinite period when you'. have nothing else to do. If this spray schedule and these few suggestions would only be carried out by the commercial grower of apples alone. the millions of dollars lost an‘ nuully at this time could be saved to a large part for the groyver and his money and time spent in would be indeed well repaid. THE LATEST FARMER-BANKER MOVEMENT. HE bankers for many years have been cooperating with the farmers in increasing the acreage of farm prod) ucfs, improving the quality :of live stock. and in helping them manage ag- riculture on a business-like basis. A new slant to the banker-farmer move- ment is now at hand. brought about by the heavy depreciation in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange is somewhat of a mystery even to the av-‘ 'erage business man of the city, but the American farmer most likely can 1111' derstand one phase of the foreign ex.- change problem when it clips fifteen to twenty dollars from the price of the hog he is about to market. For several years past the enormous demands of war encouraged the farms er to raise record crops and increase live stock to the highest productiom W'hen the fighting suddenly ended a. year ago. these demands for farm pro ducts, both by our own government and Eurpoean nations, suddenly dwin— dled to comparatively small pmpor- tions. During the war pe‘i‘iod Europe- an nations we1e exerting every energy in providing means f01 ca1rying on the conflict, so when the war ended they had very little in the way of goods to ship to this country. On the other hand: our government had extended nearly ten billions of credit to Europe and our own investors had bought back. some six billion of American securities held abroad. This upsetting of the 11011?) 1111111 relations of commerce and inter) national finance has resulted in utter demoralization of the rates on foreign exchange. So we see that the American farmer today is keenly interested in. whatever financial degislation or credit arrange- ments large corporations» may make in order to bring foreign exchange rates. nearer to normal and. therebyz further promote our foreign. trade. Not only the price of live stock, but other tam products as well are being anyway afteCted' by the penalties that spraying Wm» fl .1- __,.n~.~.. -_ a) .333“ 13:151.), _ Q yer: n m a: ,gfiyigflvq _.

It would not have cost me much more to have added a little to its size, and it would have been so much more con- venient.” And it is a fact that few of us have as much room as we need for stock, feed, and tools. For some time after we came on the farm we found it was so with us. We often wished we had room to store feed enough to last for a number ofi months. We were compelled to let1 several chances go by to lay in a stock of grain when it could be bought at a low price, for the simple reason that we had no ‘place to store it where it would be away from rats and mice. The time came, however, when we saw our way clear to build ,a granary, and we determined to build it large enough to enable us to lay in the need- ed stock of feed to carry us through the winter in the years when that seemed best. That called for strong sills and a floor that would sustain a ' great weight. But we anticipated this fairly well, so well that we have had the house piled full to its limit of ca- pacity without giving way. ' And we have saved money several times by reason of buying our feed early. Last year we bought in June and saved ten dollars a ten or a little more. That was on gluten feed. As our purchase amounted to ten tons, we figured that we were ahead at least one hundred dollars. It is a matter of uncertainty, however, whether we will not have even now to make an addi- It gets running Over full so fast. One thing is certain; it does not pay to leave anything out in the storm, stock, feed or tools. PLANTS PROTECTED AGAINST DISEASE. THAT experiments have shown that vegetables and grain under elec- tric stimulus, beside showing increas~ ed yields, resist disease in a most re- markable manner, is indicated by Wil- liam Fleming French in an article in the September number of the Illus- trated World. “A test was made with some infested cucumbers—a hard veg- etable to raise under any conditions— 7 and in eighty-two per cent of the in- stances the current overcame the dis, ease. It is now recognized," says the\ writer, “that electric stimulation makes a plant practically fungus proof.” Quoting from reports of an experi- ment to determine the effect of the use of positive (from air to earth) cur- rents in stimulating the growth of crops, conducted by the British gov ernment in connection with the Impe- rial College of Science and Techno]! ogy, at Lincluden Mains’ Farm, Duns fries, where an acre of oats was treat- ed with electriculture, Mr. French gives the following information: ”Field'selected had been in pass .ture without manure for three years previous to experiments. having been grazed by cattle. “One plot of one acre electrified.

Mineral matter in the feed, or avail- able. will produce good bone growth if of the proper kind. Most ofrthelmin- '1 eral feed eaten by hogs is utilized in the bony structure or skeleton. The grain we commonly feed hogs contains such a small proportion of the needed mineral elements that additional min- ~ eral feed must be supplied by some means in order to properly nourish the bones. Oftentimes conditions are such that the hog picks up the minerals himself. Hogs having access to lots where ash- es and limestone are dumped may sup- ply themselves in liberal quantity of' the calciums. Hogs running in the woods or woodlot or on pastures of gmost kinds commonly grown, supply their bodies with mineral nutrients. Recently I visited the farm of a well; pointed veloped boars and brood sows. He lays emphasis on strength of bone in his stock and keeps them in excellent breeding shape. He had a small piece of woodland and a clover field adjoin- ing in which he said his hogs licked up most of their mineral feed rather than ' take so much from the self-feeder. I have never seen a weak—boned hog where they have access to pastures. I have heard it said that that was be- cause the pastured hog got sufficient exercise to stimulate a good bone de‘ velopment, which has some weight, but forage craps contain a great deal of calcium which enters into the bone structure. One breeder told me that he never thought of needing mineral feeds to his hogs, but he was doing it just the same when he allowed them to run on pasture and fed them skiiii milk and tankage. ' * I’f hogs are confined it is very essen- tial that their bodies be supplied with mineral feeds; especially is this true of hogs kept for breeding purposes. Hogs that are finished for killing at two hundred pounds or so will need little mineral feed after put in the feedlot besides what they get in milk and tankag'e. Wood ashes and Cinders are eaten by hogs to satisfy a craving for min- eral food. I have seen them crunch the fresh Cinders as if they were com Corncobs are suitable in some respects if they are charred; they can be char- red by putting them in a metal drum that is closed at the top, or the pile of cobs may be covered with dirt and charred in the old-fashioned way. Char- coal can be purchased for the purpose. Charcoals are beneficial to the diges- tive tract. Besides these, bone flOur is phosphorus and in their ration; it is an aid to digestion. A good mixture which can be fed to pigs confined in small lots Or that may be given to pigs on range, is made up of the following ingredients: One hun- dred pounds of wood ashes, thirty 5 pounds of salt, forty pounds of staked ? lime", four pounds of Williams, thirty pounds of charcoal: mix well and'feed . three or four times a. week. Angood mixture to keep bellore hogs in a self-modern is made up of three parts air—staked lime, three pans of wood ashes or charcoal, and one part of salt.

ELIEVING that there is no sufliu cient reason why growers should be paid a variety of prices for canning crops. according to the sect-ion and .154? ‘ . that in general prices paid growers for ’ canning crops are too. low, a represen- tative meeting of canning crop grow- ers was held at the, Powers Hotel in Rochester, N. Y... recently. :The Mon- roe County Farm Bureau, New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University, and: state department of farms and. markets were represented] The skeleton of the organization was formed with. the following. directors: 0. J. Burley, Barnard; W. G. McIn- tosh, Churchville; H. W. Bradstreet, Honeoye Falls; Joseph M. Zimmer, Penfield; H. A. Bacon, Adams Basin. Papers of incorporation will be filed and the organization perfected without delay. ' It was argued at the meeting that the time for the individual to bargain successfully with the canning industry for the purchase of his peas, corn, to« matoes, beans and other canning crops, has passed, that only through collective bargaining can the grower hope to get fair returns for his often and capital invested. H. C. Thompson, of the New York State College of Agriculture, asserted that checks in Ontario county show that farmers there last season last an average of $16.82 an acre on the pea. (-i-op. C. R. White, the Department of Farms and Markets, declared that collective bargaining is the hope of the growers of canning crops. Labor is very scarce, he pointed out, and city wages are such that the farmer cannot hope to, compete with unless he can get a higher price for his products. He suggested that after the organiza- tion is perfected, that a five-year av- erage of production costs be taken as a basis for fixing contract prices for canning crops. There is no disposition to play a hold-up game with canners and the public, but only to see that growers get a fair return that will en- courage continuance in business. Meetings of similar nature have been held in several of the counties of west- ern New York and in some counties a canners’ organization, is already per- fected. There is much interest in the general plan in Niagara, Wayne, On- tario, LiVingston, Orleans, Wyoming and Monroe counties with the possibil- ity that the growers’ county organizer lions may fedora-tea. ’ OUR EXPERIENCE WITH STOVE'R SILAGE. ‘ Continued from page 75). ed a crime to let cornstalks wither and waste away in the fields, as thousands and thousands of acres do now.

Hogs coming to [market are averaging extremely well in quality, and the bulk of the sales take place within a range of twenty- five to thirty-five cents per hundred pounds, sales being made of heavy and light butchers and light bacon grades weighing from 160 to 190 pounds at about the same figures. Hogs continue to sell at much below the highest pric- es paid in 1919, as well as much lower than one and two years ago, while far higher than in other years, A year ago hogs were selling at a range of $16.50 to $17.90, two years ago at $15.50 to $16.80, three years ago at $9.35 to $10.60 and fifteen years ago at $4.35 to $5.05.

M R. E. C. SCI-lROEDER, the Min- nesota Holstein-Friesian breeder, who has made pages of interesting Holstein history with the Bess Burkes and the Ormsbys, announces that af- ter a most careful study of the testing business he has decided to discontinue all seven-day test work and confine his efforts to the 305 and 365 day divis- ' ions. It is his aim to run his entire herd on the longer test, and only those not qualifying in the division will be run the full year. Mr. Schroeder is one of the mOst prominent men con- nected with 'the Holstein-Friesian breed and it is quite likely that his de- cision will have a tendency to influ- ence other breeders to devote more at- tention to the longer test records.

It is best to kill and burn all of the sick birds as this disease is very contagious and will spread rapidly through a flock. The healthy birds re- maining can usually be saved by promptly adopting preventive meas- ures. It is caused frequently by damp and draughty hen houses onpoor feed- ing methods which cause a devitalized condition of the birds. Spray the .house thoroughly with a good commercial dis- infectant. If the house is tight and without ventilation it will pay to make it into a house of the open-front type. - Roup is so serious that a flock is of little value as breeding stock when a. large portion of the birds have had to be killed because of the disease. . It will pay best to obtain new foundation stock or hatching/eggs in the spring and then use the best kind of poultry management to keep the birds vigor— ous and free from colds and all the in- jurious exposure which sometimes re, sults in roup. BLACK—LEGS ON BARRED ROCKS. Last spring We bought thoroughbred, Barred Rock eggs. All the pullets and some of the coclierels have black legs. \Vhat causes this? Is it a sign that they are not thoroughbred? Kent Co. Mrs. E. 0. According to the Standard the legs and toes of a purebred Barred Ply; mouth Rock should be yellow. It is a. disqualification if they are any other color. The writer has ordered hatch- ing eggs from several different Barred Rock breeders of both bred-to—lay and exhibition stock. The stock from the exhibition eggs had yellow legs and toes which is according to the stan- dard. Some of the stock from the bred- to lay strain had very dark legs and toes. However, we believe that the birds were purebred in spite of the col- or of the legs. The birds with rich yellow legs were simply bred from stock with which every effort had been made to breed prize winners. The dark-leg- ged birds came from a strain where the birds had been selected for egg records and not for fancy points. They would not be prize winners although they were undoubtedly purebred. However, all of the best Barred Rock bred-to—lay flocks which we have seen RuinousVibration Conquered!

Only by using the correct oil can you be certain that your machinery is notgettingunnecessary wear. Tractor manufacturers in steadilyincreasingnumbersare recommending Gargoyle M0- biloils for use in their tractors. In many cases the tractors carry a plate recommendin the use of‘the grade of Gar— goyle Niobiloils specified by the Chart of Recommendaw tions. And in some cases a supply of Gargoyle lV'lobiloils of the correct grade is packed with the tractor when it leaves the factory. turers want you to get engine results. They know that by using the correct grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils you will. The same reasoning applies with equal force to your auto— mobile. Oil which breaks down under the intense heat of service, and whose body» does not provide a proper seal for your piston rings, will not protect your engine from the costly wear that shortens its life and curtails its effici- ency. In Other words, Such an oil does' not' give engine results. The charts shown here specify the correct grades of Gargoyle Mobiloils for your automobile" and your tractor.

Under specially favorable conditions a yield of 50 to 60 bushels per acre is not uncommon. Dairying is exceptionally profitable.

No doubt he was be- ing well paid, and though in this work- aday world revenge has gone out of fashion there was no denying'that this ruflian would enjoy evening the score. But his confederate was of another stripe, a human being with normal pas- sions and instincts. The cattleman wondered how he could reconcile it to his conscience to go into so vile a,plot with a villain like the convict. “So you see I’m right; you’d better pray your friends won’t find you. They can’t reach here without. being heard. If they get to hunting these hills you sure want to hope they’ll stay cold, for just as soon as they get warm it will be the signal for you to shoot the chutes.” Luck met ,his triumphant savagery with an impassive face. “Interesting if true. ,And where will you be when my friends arrive? I reckon it won’t be a pleasant meeting for Mr. Black- well.” . “I’ll beheading for Mexico. I tell you because you ain’t liable to go around spreading the news. There’s a. horse saddled in the dip back of the hill crest. Get it?” “Fine,” Cullison came back. “And you’ll ride right into some of Bucky O’Connor’s rangers. He’s got the bore der patroled. You’d never make it.” “Don’t worry. I’d slip through. “I’m no tenderfoot.” “What if you did. Bucky would drag you back by the scruff of the neck in two weeks.

Avery Foot 5 Lift Sulky and Gang Plows have every feature you expect in a down-to-date plow—- fine turning qualities, light draft, high and easy lift and a safe margin of strength where strength is needed. They can be set so the beams lift independently of the frame or so the frame is leveled and the beams raisedat one operation. Front axle is 11/2 inches in diameter with along bear- ing in the frame—stronger than on any other foot lift plow. It won’t bend or spring in the hardest plowing. Both levers are on right-hand Side. These plows are fitted with quick detachable shares in which simplicity and convenience are combined with great strength. Shares are changed without removing a. bolt or nut and without getting under the plow bottom. See them at the B. F. Avery dealer ’3 store. . x t ‘ {‘1 TA ‘ ‘ ‘ \\ \. .V’H‘ .\ l . ‘. g , LOUISVILLE.

The old days are gone. Law is in the saddle. Murder is no longer a pleas- ant pastime.” And Cullison stretched his arms and yawned. , From far below there came through the open window the faint click of a horse’s hoofs ringing against the stones in the dry bed of a river wash. Swift- ly Blackwell moved to the door, taking a rifle from its rack as he did so. Cul- lison rose noiselessly’ in his chair. If it came to the worst he meant to shout aloud his presence and close with this fellow. Hampered as he was by the table, the man would get him without question. But if he could only sink his fingers into that hairy throat while there was still life in him he. could promise that Mexican trip would never takelplace. Blackwell,_ from his place by the door, could keep an eye both on his prisoner and on a point of the trail far below 'where horsemen must pass to reach thmabin. “Sit down,” he ordered. Cullison’s ~eyes were like finely-tem- pered steel. “I’d rather stand.” “By God, if you .move from there—” The man did not finish his sentence, but the rifle was already half lifted. More words would have been super~ fluous. A' rider came into sight and entered the' mouth of the canon. He was wav- ing a white handkerchief. The man" in the doorWay answered the signal. “Not your friends this time, Mr. Sheriff," Blackwell jeered. “I get a stay of execution, do I?” The cool drawling. voice of the cattle- man showed nothing of the tense feel- ing within. ‘ ' He resumed his seat and the read- Presently, to the man that came over the threshold he spoke with acasual nod, '- f' ‘ ‘n... ‘ . -. g. feasible.

The manner of ironical comradeship. his captive. chose to employ was more than anannoyance. To serve his ends it was necesary to put the fear of death into this man’s heart, which was a thing he had found imposible to do. His foe would deride him, joke with him, discuss politics with him, play cards with him, do anything but fear him. In the meantime the logic of cir- cumstances was driving the sheepman into a corner. He had on impulse made the owner of the Circle C his prisoner. Seeing him lie there unconscious on the floor of the Jack of Hearts, it had come to him in a flash that he might hold him and force a relinquisment of the Del Oro claim. Cass had done it to save himself from the ruin of his y.» business, but already he had regretted it fifty times. Threats could not move Luck in the least. He was as hard as iron. ' So the sheepman found himself be- tween the upper and the nether mill- stones. He could not drive his prisoner to terms and he dared not release him. For if Cullison went away unpledged he would surely send him tot the peni- tentiary. Nor could he hold him a pris- oner indefinitely. He had seen the “personal” warning in both the morn- ing and the afternoon papers. He guessed that the presence of the rang- er, Bucky O’Connor, in' Saguache was not a chance. The law was closing in on him. Somehow Cullison must be , made to come through with a relin- l quishment and a pledge not to prose- ‘ cute. The only other way out would be to let Blackwell wreak his hate on . the former sheriff. From this he shrank _u ‘ with every instinct. Fendrick was a. hard man. He would have fought it out to a finish if necessary. But mur- der wasa thing he could not do. He had never discussed the matter with Blackwell. _The latter had told him of this retreat in the mountains 4 and they had brought their prisoner here. But the existence of the prospect hole at the foot of the Devil’s Slide was unknown to him. From the con- vict’s revenge he had hitherto saved Luck. Blackwell was his tool rather than his confederate, but he was un- easily aware that if the man yielded to the elemental desire to kill his enemy _ f. ‘ the law would hold him,pCass Fen- \ ' . drick, guilty of the crime. . “Price of sheep good this week?" Cullison asked amiably. ‘ "I didn’t come here,to discuss the price of sheep'with you." Fendrick spoke harshly. A dull anger against the scheme of things burned in him. For somehow he had- reaehed an' im- . p. 'passe from which theregwas neither “ advance nor retreat. 7 “No. Well, you’re right there. What I don’t know about sheep would fill several government reports; Of course I’ve got ideas. One of them is—” . “I don’t care anything about your f 13 '\ ideas. Are you going to sign this re- . linquishment?” ' j ' @412“: Luck’s face showed a placid surprise. ' “Why no, Cass. Thought I mentioned that before.” “You’d better.” The sheepman’s harassed face looked ugly enough for _. . anything.- ’ - , ~, ;_ “Can’t figure it out that way.” ' “You’ve got to sign it By God, you " ‘ have no option.” ,“No?” Still with pleasant inoredu- :-.: lity. . . ‘ “Think I'm going to let you get away from here now. You’ll sign and you’ll promise to tell nothing you knew against us.” “No, I’don’t reckon Iiiwill.” , .

It's on your own head. I’ve done all I can for you." “What's on my head?” “Your’llfe.

Luck’s frosty eyes did not release the - other for a moment. “How are you going to prevent it, Cass?” “I’ll find a. way.” “Blackwell’s way—over the Devil’s Slide?” The puzzled look of the sheepman told Cullison that Blackwell’s plan of 'exit for him hadinot been submittedl to the other. ’ HY called the "Big 3”? Because three big, exclu- sive construction features have established Mueller Pipeless superiority—~three features are mainly responsi- ble for its heating efficiency and remarkable fuel saving. No one feature alone could accomplish this result—4t is the "Big 3" which make the Mueller a success—the “Big 3” which have enabled it to acquire a nation-wide reputation. And these three big features which are described below are exclusive Mueller construction. The “Big 3” combination is not found in any other pipeless furnace. “Your friend from Yuma has been; Large andProperIly Proportioned I . ‘ 'explaining how he has arranged for Register Face me lo 'Cl‘OSS the d1V1de, he went 0n.; HE Mueller can be installed in a few The Mueller register face is large and correctly proportioned “I’m to be plugged full of lead, shot down that rock, and landed in a pros? pect hole at the bottom.” “First I've heard -»of it.” Fendrick Wheeled upon his accomplice with an-f hours- Cut but one hOie for the hand“ to allow delivery of big volume of warm air slowly.

She knew her catalogues by heart and she had the loving instinct that teach- es all gardeners much about growing things. The rider who cantered. up to the fence, seeing her in her well- hung cor- duroy skirt, her close-fitting blouse, and the broad-rimmed straw hat that shielded her dark head from the sun, appreciated the fitness of her surround- ings. She too was a flower of the des- ert, delicately fashioned, yet vital with the bloom of health At the clatter of hoofs she looked up ' from the bush she was trimming and at once rose to her feet. With the change in position she showed slim and tall, straight as a young poplar. Be- neath her long lashes he1 eyes grew dark and hard. For the man who had drawn to a halt Was CaSS Fendrick. From the pocket of his shirt he drew a crumpled piece of stained linen. “I’ ve biought back ybui handker- chief, Mis Cullison.” “What have you done with my father?” He nodded toward the Mexican boy and Kate dismissed the lad. When he had gone she asked her question again in exactly the same words. “If we're going to discus your father you had better get your quirt again,” the sheepman suggested, touching a scar on his face. A flush swept over her cheeks, but she held her voice quiet and even. “Where is father? \Vhat have you done with him?" He swung from the horse and threw the rein to the ground. Then, saunter- ing to the gate, he let himself in. “You’ve surely got a nice posy gar- den here. Didn’t know there was one like it in all sunbaked Arizona.” She stood rigid. Her unfaltering eyes, sloe-black in the pale face, never lifted from him. “There’s only one thing you can talk to me about. Where have you hid- den my father?” “I’ve heard folks say he did all the hiding that was done.” “You know that isn’t true. That con- vict and you have hidden him some- where. We have evidence enough to convict you both.” “Imagination, most of it, I expect.” He was inspecting the roses and inhal- ing their bloom. “Fact enough to send you to the pen- itentiary.” “I ough to be scared. This is a La 'France, ain’t it?” “I want you to tell me what you have done with my father.” He laughed a little and looked at her with eyes that narrowed like those of a cat basking in the sun. He had something the look of the larger mem- bers of the cat family—the soft long tread, the compact rippling muscles of a tame panther, and with these the th1eat that always lies behind its sleepy Waiines. . “Y_o11’ re a young lady of one idea. No use arguing with you, I reckon.” “Notthe least use. I’ve talked with Mrs. Wylie.” He raised his eyebrows. the lady?” “She will know you. to the point.” “Did she say she knew purred. “She will say it in ho’urts—if it 'ever comes to that” ' , i I “And just What will she Say, if you please. ” Kate told him in four sentences With, “Do I know That is more me ?” he . a stinging directness that was the out- standing note of her, that and a fine self-forgetful courage. “Is that air? 2Comes to thisrthen. -; bom- ’, .begt upon him like shad that she says I heard her sired? ran; trail, , .~ - spin", and 's'aved yourfatlfei’h hfisfiathat :2; , 1., (Gontihued hex a penitentiary dressed I'ydon’t say, it ' ‘oughtn’t to be, but is it?” “You helped the Villain take his body ‘ f iiito the ceilar" You ”plotted With him . 5*! ~ to hold father a prisoner there ’-’ -" “She says that, does she——that she overheard us plotting?” “Of course she did not overhear you. You took good care of that. But she knew you were conspiring.” “Just natu1 ally knew it without over- hearing,” be derided. “And of cauise if I was in a plot I must have been Johnny-on-the-spot a good deal of the time. Hung round there a-plenty, I ex- pect?” He had touched on the weak spot of M13. Wylie s testimony. The man who had saved Cullison’s life, after a long talk with Blackwell, had gone out of the Jack of Hearts and had not return- ed so far as she knew. For her former husband had sent her on an errand just before the p1isoner was taken away and she did not know who had helped him. Kate was silent. _ “How would this do for an explana— tion?” he suggested lazily. “We'll say just for the sake of argument that Mrs. Wylie's story is true, that I did save your father’s life. We’ll put it that I did help carry him downstairs where it was cooler and that I did have a long talk with the fellow Blackwell. What would I be talking to him about, if I wasn’t reading the riot act to him? Ain’t it likely too, that he would be sorry for what he did while he was angry at your father for butting in as he was having trouble with his wife? And after he had said he was sorry why shouldn’t I hit the road out of there? There’s no love lost between me. and Luck Cullison. I wasn’t under any obligations to wrap him up in cotton and bring him back this side up with care to his anxious friends. If he chose later to take a hike out of town on p. d. q. hurry 11p business I ain’t to blame. And I reckon you’ll find a jury will agree with me.” She had to admit to herself that he made out a plausible ease. Not that she believed it for a moment. But very likely a jury would. As for his subse- quent silence that. could be explained by his desire net to mix himself in the affairs of one with whom he was upon unfriendly terms. The irrefutable fact that he had saved the life of Cullison would go a long way as presumptive proof of his innocence. “I see you are wearing your gray hat again. What have you done with the brown one?" She had flashed the question at him so unexpectedly that he was startled, but the wary mask fell again over the sardonic face. “You take a 1i ght f1iendly interest in my hats, seems to me’ “I know this much. Father took your hat by mistake f1om the club. You bought a brown one half an hour later. You used father’s to manufac- ture evidence against him. If it isn’t true that he is your prisoner how does it come that you have your gray hat again? You must have taken it from him. ” He laughed uneasily. She had guess- ed the exact truth. “In Arizona there are about forty thousand gray hats like this. Do you figure you can identify this one, Miss Cullison? And suppose your fairy tale of the Jack of Hearts is true, couldn’t I have swapped hats again while he lay thTere unconscious 171’ She brushed the explanation aside with a woman's superb indifference to logic. “You can talk of couise.

She’s gain; 'ed ten ounces and- a half'this‘ week,” the gray-gowned' nurse lifted the tiny baby from the scales and, with a. look of satisfaction,.handed it to its flushed and radiant mother. “Doesn't. look much like the wraith you brought in here two months ago, does she?” It was at a. regular session of the baby clinic. “It’s just a miracle,” the mother said gratefully, “I never can be glad enough I brought her to the clinic.” The Clinic Doctor Believes that “Miracle, nothing," laughed the nurse, “It’s just knowing how to feed her right and having the will to do it after you are told. Better take her over in that corner out. of the draft to dress her.” Other mothers crowded around with babies of assorted sizes, undressed and wrapped in the little blankets provid- ed by the clinic, awaiting their turn'to have baby weighed before the doctor came in. There were all sorts of con- 'ditions represented. Babies in perfect health whose mothers believed in pre- ventive measures and wanted to be sure they were feeding right- as they went along. Babies like the first ‘who had'been under direction long enough to begin to pick up, but still Show the effects of a wrong start. Babies just brought for the first time, whose pinched, weazened faces and plaintive little wail told all too plainly to the experiengd eye the effect of wrong feeding. There must have been fifty mothers with infants in the room, and wandering through the ,crowd were two-year-old brothers and sisters who had to be brought along. It was an interesting crowd viewed from any an— gle, full of pep and noise and human nature,—from the two mothers who wig— wagged theil‘disgust atsthe crowding. and elbowing of a. third, to the small son of the aggressive. mother who showed his devotion to her side by pulling the curls of the other w0men’s small daughters. But the greatest interest lay in the purpose underlying the clinic—the at- . titude of the city in saying it is fully as important to give money to start children right as it is to keep up courts and jails to correct .them‘after they go wrong. The baby ‘clinic is maintained: by the city, .plusa. few ‘priva-t'e'contri- ,Making Good Citizens .' HIRTEEN pounds and seven and} to get advice on the care of her chil- dren'under five. A 'staff of doctors do- nate their services and instruct in the proper method of feeding. If the baby needs further attention, operations or moonstone, the mother is told so. It She can afford to pay for the care she is‘required to do it, if not, the city takes care of the case. Only instruc- tions in dieting are given free to all who come. Perhaps the most striking thing about the clinic to a keen observer was that, judged by clothes, no woman Prevention is Better than Cum. there need accept free medical atten- tion. There were none of the really poor in the room. Every woman was well clad and well fed, and many talk- ed glibly'of milk tests, pasteurization, percentages of sugar, proteins and fats. The well-‘to-do seemedto be the only ones- to ink-e advantagejbf the price- less opporfunity offered them to start the baby right. Either tliere are'no poor in the city in question, or the poor do not know they need help. ' Working with the clinic is a corps of nurses who go out to homes when.it is impossible to bring the child to the doctor. One baby who was brought. to the attention of the nurses too late to save its life had tvventy—two calls from nurses in six weeks, and a part of the time two nurses were together work- ing to save the little life. Not many cases‘are lost, however, unleSS there are other complications besides wrong feeding. , Even the most hopelesslook- ing tots are brought along if it is sim- ply a question of what to feed. One thirteen-month's-old baby was brought in who weighed only ten pounds and six ounces. She had never had altooth. could not sit alone, and was altogether as helpless a. bit of future-womanhood as you could ever find] A diet of modi- fied‘lnilk, thoroughly cooked cereals, and orange and prune juice was pre- scribed. 'In six weeks Miss Baby had perked up amazingly, had a suspicion of color in her cheeks, positively smil- ed whenyou looked at her, and even acted as though she might cut a. tooth some day. ' , ‘ p _ Then there was the five-months--old baby whose‘mother had to liverwith grandma. Grandma had strong notions on “giving them a taste of real‘food.” “Real tood.”.,however," as _ ,bsby'v «am ”my. .« . wage“. . . . 7% JAN. 17,1920: THEE MICHIGAN FIARMER learned that milk is the only real baby food for a five-months’-old boy. She took her lesson to heart and insisted on trying" the doctor's way, so long as gl‘andmafs way hadn’t proven altogeth- er a success. Six weeks of clinic feed ing converted even grandma, and now baby is as rosy and fat as the best. Many pitiful cases among the older children are treated, and Warped lives straightened. There was the four-year- old boy with club feet. His parents couldn’t pay for an operation, but the attending physician told them the city could. The child was operated on, one leg is now perfectly straight, the other is still in a cast, but the child has no trouble in walking. W'hen you hear all the things accom- plished by the clinic you wonder just why they call it the “Baby Clinic.” For while it is primarily intended as a place where mothers can get advice on the care of babies, it seems as though the' nurses thought they had to take the whole family under their wings. There was the mother who brought her eighteen-months’cId boy down. The nurse teak one short look at the ’child and two long ones at the mother. Then she asked a few kindly ques- tions. She found out that the mother was again in a. delicate condition, that she was tired all the time, could not do even the lightest housework, and lived in conditions not of the best She advised the mothe1 to go to the anti— tube1culosis society for an cx‘émina- tion. The attendants found that the woman was developing tuberculosis. They prescribed a rest period morn- ing and afternoon, 303%. time daily in the open" air, got her to sleep alone in a large roomwith three windows open, and prescribed a diet. The mother made her visit to the clinic in August. In October she was in good condition Mothers Receive Advice on Feeding, Bathing and Caring for the Baby. and able to do her own housework. Every week, in fact, every day brings to light even as important cases of hu- manibeings helped to health and en- joyment of life by instruction in right living. Can there be any better way to spend a, part of the tax money? It doesn’t cost nearly as much to maintain clin- ics to keep people in health as it does to keep up hospitals and homes, with their staff of nurses and help, to take care of the invalided. The new way, prevention rather than cure, is surely the best—Mrs» A. L. L. ~ YOUR CHILD’S EYES.

ROM early "childhood boys are sub- jected to rough associations from which girls are protected. Boys are permitted to hear obscene language, which girls, speaking generally, never hear. Vulgar people try to restrain their coarsenes: when a girl is pres- ent but they never think of doing so before a boy. Even in public perform- ances, as in the theatre, obscenity is often indulged in if only men are pres- ent, whereas little if anything of the kind would occur before girls or wom— en. Lewd actions are exhibited before boys and men; while girls are never admitted to places where such actions are permitted. Thoughtless, though doubtless well- mcaning people are constantly seeking. to improve the environment of girls! [so as to keep their thoughts, feelings and conduct wholesome, sweet and re— fiued, but they let boy; grow up under debasing conditions and then lament over the fact that they are not natur- ally refined and scrupulous about their speech and manners. Many parents expend more time and money in get- ting nice clothes for a daughter than for a son and then they wonder why he'is not so particular about his ap- pearance. ’ The result of this general indiffer- ence to a boy’s esthetic nature is, of course, that the boy, as a rule, is coars~ er in his thought, speech, and action than ‘he girl. But is the difference due to sex' or to the fact that we neglect the boy and permit him to look out for himself, with the result that he is of- ten subjected to vicious suggestion? It is a wonder that, take boys as they go, they are not worse than they are.—. National Kindergarten Association. FROM ONE HOUSEKEEPER TO ANOTHER.

Ifyou hi AR‘MER MAY be old-fashioned and hope- I lessly out of date, but even at the risk of being classed with Godey’s Lady Book I feel I must register my solemn protest against the growing modern tendency of taking women out of the home, which at the altar she has solemnly sworn to serve, and plac- ing her side by side with her husband as awage earner. True, with the pres. ent terrific struggle to meet rising pric- es the temptation to do this is hard to resist. But I still maintain that the woman with children, especially in these days with indifferent domestic help or none at all, cannot afford to leave the care of her children to the mercy of help. Yet more and more women are going outside of the home to find their sphere, and more and more certain magazines which should be in better business are advocating it. If this homedestroying tendency is to be continued indefinitely our boasted American institutions are doomed to go down in the general wreck which a few pessimists are even now predicting. The whole trend of our reading 01‘ recent years has been wrong. There has been a? little smatter of mawkish stud, about homes and mothers, but the real heroines of fiction and maga- zine articles have not been prosaic cooks and housemothers. The woman in business, in the professions, in so- ciety has been the real thing. If 8. mar- ried woman was the heroine of the story, she Was either a creature who toiled not nor spun, or a dynamic indi- vidual who managed husband, children and servants with a single finger, and devoted the other nine to household decorating, architecture, engincering, a profession, or an art, in which chos- en field she was the bright and shining star. We felt when we read about her that our little sphere as humble house- keeper was too trivial for even our limited abilities. ' “Only a housekeeper,” sounds rath- er simple when arrayed Will “The world’s most famous prima donna,” “greatest living actress,” “prominent lawyer,” “private secretary to Con- gressman Kearney,” and a score of other occupations held by women. But to be a perfect housekeeper, or better ' still, a perfect home maker, requires ability even higher than to become a shining light in a profession. To be- come a private secretary, for instance, you need know only one line of busi- ness—~your employer’s. To become a. great singer you need only the voice. At least, if you have the voice and are trained to use it people will pay to lis- ten to you, even though you may be ig- norant in hundreds of ways. But to become the perfect home- maker you need to know almost every- thing. It is no‘longcr enough to know how to keep the Muse clehn and how to cook. Now yon must know how to keep the house sanitary, well ventilat- ed, properly drained, properly planned and properly kept. In addition to know- ing how to cook you must know the value of the food you cook and its proper place in the diet. You must un- derstand balanced rations for your family as the farmer understands it for his stock. You must know all about physical hygiene, child development, and growth, how to dress the children properly and how to feed their minds and souls as well as their bodies. In the matter of clothing, see how much we must know today 'when it seems everything we buy has a cheap er imitation. Are you sure you are getting pure wool? Or is there a. thread of cot on? Is it linen or a mer- cerized subs 'tute you are offered? Will thesilk bear up 'or will it crack under the strain of making the ’ gar- ment? And after you have bought your fabric, 'can you plan ‘andgmake 'yOur re it done. can “only '31 Hous'ekeeper” .,.~ not fit,’can you tell why? To be 'a perfect home-maker you must know all these things. You must know, too, something of nursing. The little things to be done in a sick room if the patient is to be comfortable, must be at the 00mmand of the present-day home-maker. And there are the dozens of preventives which will ward off illness. You must know symptoms and take quick meas- ures. If you overlook them and dis- ease appears, or if an accident occurs you must know what to do till the doctor comes. * Then, aside from looking after the animal wants of your family, you must keep up with the times. You must read your papers to know? what is go- ing on in the world political, and some- where you must find time to keep your eye on the world of literature. In fact, to be the perfect home-maker you must be a veritable walking encyclopaedia of universal knowledge. And a very suave, diplomatic and polished one. For home runs smoothly only if the wheels are well greased with the oils of politeness and good manners. “Only a housekeepeu’. doesn’t sound. like much. But it is“ the biggest pro- fession and the most important for women. It the world is to be kept run- ning in the right direction we must use all our influence to combat the propa- ganda which would lure mothers out of it and into trades and professions. Instead of advocating the idea that the wife should go out and help bring in the bacon, let us order her to stay inside and cook it. Leave outside jobs for men. Wages would adjust them— selves to conditions if women would all agree to stay in home—making pro: fe'zsions. The question of dOmestic help would settle itself, for women would be doing their own work in- , stead of looking for someone else to do it for them. Class distinctions would be eliminated in time, too, if we could only make it fashionable for everybody to do her bit in her proper place. DEBORAH. DELICIOUS PIEPLANT IN WINTER. LAST December we dug up a good- sized rhubarb root, and after let- ting it get well winterized, or frosted, brought it in in a box and set it in the cellar near the furnace. It did not get much light, but we watered it well, and were rewarded by having about five cuttings of delicious pink pieplant along in February and March—G. E.

The silage is in good condition and I have good clover bay to feed with it. also plenty of good straw. \Vill you tell me how to make up a. grain ration to get, the best re— sults from such roughage? t llenzie ()o. (l. J. S. t No doubt your silage will give youl splendid results. If you have plenty‘ feed all the cows will eat, up twice a day. The same way with the clover hay. You can feed one good liberal teed of clover hay once a day and one teed of straw once a day and get good results by feeding proper grain rations. , I would recommend that, you feed your ('oWsi either two pounds of cottonseed meal or two pounds of oil meal each: per day. I would prefer the oil mealF it‘ you can get it, without too much trouble, then ground oats or corn meal mixed with wheat bran would make a splendid ration. Feed enough corn and oats ground together and mix with equal parts of bran so that your cows get with the two pounds of oil meal a pound of grain for every three or four pounds oti milk they produce in a (lay. You can get, along with a little less bran if you left out the corn meal and lived only ground oats. COOKED BEANS FOR HOGS. I have nineteen fall pig's that weigh between eighty and ninety pounds. I have been buying beans at, $2.00 a hun- dred and feeding ground barley. Would you advise me to keep on buying beans to have them on the market by the last of March? 1 am out of corn. Vt'hat would you advise me to buy to feed them? Tuscola Co. J. I). 1‘ Cooked beans and ground barley the, on+tlrmlly makes almost an ideal rationt tor growing feeding hogs. Ilarley will m‘actically take the place of corn. In this ration you might get a little better" results if you substitute corn meal fort the barley, but you could not exnect to? t t get enough difference to pay for mak— ing the. change. It your hogs seem to tire of this ration get, a little Wheat" middlings and mix it with barley and, cooked beans. I don‘t believe you canl get a more economical ration. ‘ “RUNNING THE GAUNTLET.” (Continued from page 92). flash. It. was all over in a brief" ind’ ment.

This .means that every hill must do its share. Fertilizer makes every hill yield more big potatoes. The potato crop has a short season in which to make its growth. Its root system covers only a small area. Plantfood must be in the ground in large quantmw during the growing season. But the soil cannot be depended upon to supply all the plantfood required. Fertilizer provides the additional plantfood necessary for continuous, rapid growth. It supplies the three essential plantfoods~~ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash“ in the right proportions. ' ' Select the potato fertilizer that is suited to your conditions. Apply it in sufficient quantity. The investment will be returned to you with a handsome profit from in- creased yield and greater market value. Write for our Bulletin, “Potato Production." You should also have our Automatic Formula Finder, which helps to select the right fertilizer iorevery crop on the farm.

She bOught all of the dry feed‘ for her flock but raised a tentl1~acre of, oats and rape for their green feed.E This fifteen-year-old girl’s net return this year from her poultry work, whichl was supervised by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state college, was $256. Vivian Smith, of Yalabusha county, Mississippi, has been in poultryhlub work for four years. This year her net return from the work was $386.86. She started four years ago with seven. chickens and made a net return thatl year of $70. The next year. she dou-l bled this amount, and the third year‘ ~ she cleared $840 from her poultry. Miss» Smith has the largest flock in her sec-l tion. She believes in selling the old} hens, keeping the pallets for layersng and giving; the birds plenty of green' feed.

But where isvthe market for skimmed milk as a human food? Authorities say that the milk supply of the country is twenty-five percent below the domestic market requirements, if each man, woman and child of this coun- try, to say nothing of foreign needs, is to receive the amount of dairy products nec- essary for proper nourishment. This, then, is the market—helping to make up the 25 ‘72) shortage by. diverting to human use a part of the large quantity of skimmed milk which is fed to stock. And here is one method by which this can be done: Skimmed milk lacks only a fat content to make it desirable for cooking and baking. The lack of fat, too, makes it un- palatable. Hence, it is just plain co‘mmon sense that. with the addition of a vegetable fat, skimmed milk can be made palata- ble and more desirable as a human food for culinary operations, releasing whole milk so used for other more needed pur- poses. Hebe Brings Skimmed Milk to- Market» as Human Food E'BE was created to reach this ad- - ditional market—to serve as an auxiliary to the daily milk supply for specific uses in the home. Hebe is labeled with the utmost frankness as to its con- tents and uses. It is advertised as it is labeled—honestly and frankly—“A Com- pound of Evaporated Skimmed Milk and Vegetable Fat ” for cooking and baking. By the scientific emulsifying of refined cocoanut fat with the skirnmed milk, Hebe makes it possible to- market skimmed milk as a human food, and thus opens to the dairyman anothei and mo; 9 profit- able outlet for his by- product, without interfering with the markets already es- tablished for dairy products. In the pro- duction of every 100 pounds of Hebe 210‘ pounds of skimmed milk are used, and 7.8 pounds of cocoanut fat. Thus a small amount of vegetable fat serves as the vehicle for bringing a large amount of skimmed milk to market as human food. Benefit to the Entire Industry OW is this new market to benefit .the dairyman who is not near. - enough to a Hebe condensery to sell his product there? The Hebe industry is young, and Hebe plants few in number, but every can sold is helping to develop this new market, and every bit of adver- tising put out by the Hebe Company is helping to educate the people to the greater use of dairy products. This influence cannot help but beoof great benefit to the entire industry, for every additional outlet for marketing a product puts a new value on the product, and skimmed milk, pre- pared and marketed for a human food, 1 bound to increase in value, thereby bene- fitting every dairyman. Ever-y By-Pmductr Should be» Utilized -USINESS has proved that no indus. try is completely successful until every by—product has been utilized in the most profitable way. To feed the skim- med milk to stock is not the most profit- able method of utilizing this by—product, because only a very small percentage of the food value of the skimmed milk is recovered in the meat of the animal. The larger part is used up by the animal simply in living. The dairy industry will reach a fuller measure of efficiency and economy when the skimmed milk is. disposed of in the most profitable way—as human food. Hebe points the way.’ It is an ally to the dairy» industry, offering one method of utilizing skimmed milk as human food and increasing the use of dairy products in the home.

The presence of lime de- stroys the poisonous effect of many of The bacte- Soil acidity seems poisonous to these tiny workers. This is a. reason why it is best to lime ’an acid soil before it is inoculated. Lime to Increase Returns from Fertilizers. At one time I tried to increase the ‘growth of alfalfa on an acid silt loam ’soil poor in phosphorus by the use of ‘acid phosphate only. To my surprise “the fertilizer reduced the yield. I had 'a strip on which I used lime alone. Here the increase amounted to several hundred per cent. On a third strip I tried both acid phosphate and lime in the same amounts as were used on the. first two strips. Instead of depressing the yield the acid phosphate increased the yield fifty per cent over the yield on the strip receiving the lime alone. In this case, acid phosphate without lime was worse than no fertilizer at all; but phosphate with lime was a paying proposition. The Ohio Experiment Station has some interesting results along this line. In a. twelve-year test on an acid soil, they used a complete fertilizer, acid phosphate, and manure on different portions of a field, on both limed and acid soil. The results in growing general farm crops are as fol- lows: Lime increased the net profits from the mixed fertilizer forty-nine per GUERNSEY Evils f FOR SALE Alta Boy of Maple Crest born April 1919.

I0: \ , ’ cent; from the acid phosphate, fifty- from the manure, sev- enty-three per cent. , These results are typical, showing what liming an acid soil will do to in- crease crop production and farm prof- its. Is it any wonder that Director Thorne should say that farming acid soils without the use of lime is a waste of time and money? Think of the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the Pacific states, in the middle west, and in the southern and eastern states that can be improv- ed through the uSe of lime. And think of the hundreds of millions of tons of limestone, a rich endowment of nature, to be found in all sections of the coun- try—the great source of agricultural lime. We need but sense the import- ance of this carbonate of lime in our agriculture, and then make use of it, as we should. What Kind of, Lime to Use. During my ten-year connection with the Soils 'Department, University of Wisconsin, I have used pulverized limestone, air-slaked lime, refuse lime, air-dried and kilndried marl, pulveriz-~ ed clam shells, coarsely crushed lime- stone, and tunings from lead and zinc mines. These are some of my conclu- sions based on results: (a) When lime is'used for the first time to benefit clover or alfalfa, it is highly desirable to use finely pulveriz- ed material, especially whenrthe le- gume is to be seeded shortly after the lime is applied. Coarser material may be used for later applications if neces— sary. (b) P‘ulverized limestone, marl and pulverized shells are to be preferred on sandy soils. (c) The best lime to use is any agri- cultural lime that is pulverized suffi- ciently so that at least fifty-five to sixty per cent will pass through a sieve having openings one-sixtieth of an inch in diameter, and which contains the most lime, or lime carbonate equiva- lent, in a dollar’s purchase. It is im- portant, therefore, to know the mois- ture content and the carbonate of lime test of any material before buying. ((1) Material containing a little mois- ture is more agreeable to apply than perfectly dried material. The dry ma- terial will pass through lime Spreaders better than very damp lime. How Much Lime to Apply. In some of these tests and demon- strations, I tried pulverized and crush- cd limestone in different amounts on the same field. On ordinary acid soils it is best to satisfy fully, or nearly, the lime requirement of the soil, especially for alfalfa. On rich, acid tobacco soils a two-ton application per acre of finely pulverized lime carbonate gave most excellent results for alfalfa. If the soil is acid at all, at least two tons of finely pulverized carbonate of lime should be used to the acre for clover and other crops. It seems,'best, however, to apply sufficient lime to neutralize all the acidity in the surface six inches of soil if possible, for alfalfa. It is well to keep in mind the com- parative value of different forms of lime. . (a) One ton of lump lime equals one and three-tenths tons of hydrated lime, equals one and eight-tenths "tons of carbonate of lime—this on the basis 01' lime content. ' '(b) On the basis of neutralizing val- ue when dry and of equal fineness, the same values of these three forms of lime hold true. . (c)'On the basis of' quickness of ac- tion—.one ton of lump lime finely ground is equal to at least three tons or more of pulverized. limestone (con sidering ordinary pulverized lime- stone). (d) Finely pulverized limestone is much more quick-acting than coarsely crushed limestone. How to Apply Lime. When tests or experiments are made to test out the value of lime on indi- vidual farms, the material may be spread from the wagon by means .of shovels, from little piles in the field, or by using a manure spreader. When acres are to be limed, a lime spreader: In liming fields, is a good investment. it is very convenient to place the lime in piles at one end of the’ field, if the _ field is small; and at both ends if the field is large. In this way the spread- er can' be loaded at every round, or at each turn. Any form of _lime should be well mixed with the surface six inches of , .

Some ‘_ experiments. have shown that when lime is mixed. with the top six inches of an acid .silt loam soil, it passes downward very, slowly. It becomes ab- sorbed by. the soil. T'ests‘a't Cornell Experiment Station, New Yo1k, show that more lime is leached from a- soil when it is not crop- ped than when it is cropped. Leach ‘ ing experiments there show an annual loss of about four hundred and thirty- three pounds- of carbonate of lime per acre to a depth of four feet when the land is crapped. Wllenanacid soil is limed sufficient- ly to neutralize all the acidity in the surface six, 01' eight inches, liming need not be repeated for many years, especially when the soil is silt loam or clay-10am. The need of more lime can be easily determined by testing the. soil for acidity. Lime a Soil-fertilizing Regulator. Soil fertility, 01' the productive pow- er of a soil, is determined by several factors. The presence of sufficient lime in the soil affects these factors in fav- orable ways, but when a soil is acid, 01111111 MOtOr Demonstrates OilPuIl Quality .

One of my neighbors told‘me it would, and as I am going to keep my cowsinathis kind of stable I would likesto know. W. R. P., Walkerville, Michh—Accident- a1 miscarriage, or abortion following an accident in cattle is not common in cows. Doubtless your concrete stable floor is all right and the kind all sani- ‘ y farm or dairy barns should be n.lpped with. .Your neighbor is too easily frightened, the day of the wood- en floor ‘is fast passing, for no such floors can be kept clean. . Ovarian Cysts—Have a. registered cow that has had but one calf; since then she has been in heat and served by our herd bull.three different times, but failed to get with calf. I then wait- ed for three months and bred her to another bull. She does not come in heat regularly, remains in heat too long and I am afraid she may have tu- berculosis. Had I bctter fatten her for the butcher? A. R., Stockbridge. Mich—If she is not a deep milker, of good size and fine dairy type, fatten her. Your Vet. might advise crushing ovarian cysts,.then she might get with calf. I do not believe she has tuber- culosis. However, it is always good practice to ascertain whether a COW has tuberculosis or not. _ Barrenness—Bruised Shin—I have a. cow that freshened last spring. Since then she has been in heat most of the time; has been served by our herd bull, but fails to. get. withcalf. Have a. mare that bruised shin near. fetlock joint. Since then log has remained thickened. Can this swelling be reduc- ed? M. J. D., Alma, Michr—F’atten her for beef. If not, call your Vet. and ask him to crush ovarian cysts. This is done by hand through the rectum, without casting the cow. She might perhaps conceive following this treat- ment. Apply one part iodine and nine parts fresh lard to thickened parts three times a week.

SW I'M What the small packers ”Sa y m: A about meat competition During'a recent hearing, a num- ber of the smaller packers were asked for their Opinionsof com- petition in the meat industry. The following quotations, we believe, are typical of the feeling throughout the entire meat packing industry: Whacl Ryan, President of the Cincinnati Abattoir Company, said: “I have been a competitor of the large packers for the last 40 years, and I have never found a disposition on their part to crush competition. . . . (They have concealed nothing not attempted any unfair practices.” T. Davis Hill, Vice-President Corkran, Hill 85 Company, In- corporated, Baltimore, asserted 11m: “The big packers cannot control the market for the reason that there are too many outside packers. . . . Some days the small packers make the market for the big packers. We have no fear of the big packers’ competi— tion. . . . The large packers have never tried to underscl‘l us or drive us out of brainless.” o.- G. H. Niuckolls, President of the Nnckolls Packing Company. Pueblo, Colorado, said: “So far as profits go, my company has made a larger percentage on its turnover than any of the so-called Big Five.” J. C. Dold, President of the Jacob Dold Packing Company, Buffalo, New York, testified: “I recall no instances where we were ever hampered by any packer in the control of any stock or in the purchase of our supplies at com- petitive market prices.” John J. Felim, President John J. Felin Company, Packers, Pbila« delphia, Pa.: “1 have known all the packers for years and have never seen any unfair dealings on their part: I know of no methods that have been adopted by any of them that were unjust, unfair and Irronopolistic." There is probably no business in America more keenly com- petitive than the packing in— dustry, and none that serves smaller margin the public one: .of profit.

As all of ; that butter scores at least 93 points,: the scarcity of fancy butter that exist» ed some time ago has ceased. As '31 result of that condition buyers have? become very cautious and are securd. lng only enough butter to meet theirJ current needs. There is a prevailing . feeling that this country will be flood- e l ‘ ed. with foreign. butter during the comv l ing spring and that butter prices Willi. drop- to‘ very low levels. However, it seems very improbable ‘that such 35‘ condition-will! develop as with the aim rival. of“ fin'eign butter prices will drop' to such a.~ level that the destitute peo— i ples of? Euuope will be able to purchase . such butter. The market is veny nera T vous. The Danish butter has been of; i Dollar ’ I ‘HE dealers say there is‘no argument—fthe Firestone Cord, com- pared side by side with any other, sells itself. N o wonder. It has much greater air capacity than the average. It contains much more material and it delivers extra mileage in proportion- The thicker, heavier tread, that looks and feels the part of its extra: mileage, is another reason why it sells itself. And that tread is as good as it looks from the standpoint of preventing skid. slide or spinning, of wheels. It; has a tractive power never before equaled in a rubber tread, yet it has no incl‘osed hollows or suction features to be a drag on speed or a drain on power. It is built to the largest standard oversize of the industry. Specify Firestones; your dealer is ready with just yogi? size—Cord 07 Fabric. FIRESTONE TIRE & ‘RUBBER COMPANY Pita-tone Park Akron.
