DETROIT, AMICH., SATURDAY FEBRUARY 7,1920

 

NE of the most serious problems
with which the farmer must con-
tend is that of securing and keep-
ingeflicient hired help. Every advance
in agriculture, every labor-saving ma:
chine means the use of better help an
the farm Moreover, farming is a bet-
ter business, a cleaner business than it
Was.- The old days of the rustic, a1-
lege11 hay-seedy type of farmer and
hired man have passed. The business
farmer of. today wants an educated,
"clean fellow who can see things and
knows.how to do them.

The chief reason why farm labor has
been held at a low level, seemingly, is
because so many men have gone into
it as a makeshift, and because so many
.men Who have“ failed elsewhere- adopt
it,.or have, it adopt them, because it is
easy to farm. It is easy for the man
who is content to remain all his life a
blank to make a living at farm labor.
Such men yelp about low wages onthe
farm and do not try to develop their
on capacities. When a man has noth-
111g mere to offer than his labor he is
getting down to the level of a machine,
and is worth about as much as any
law horsepower machine. The man

. who has to gaze steadily at anything

for an hour before he sees it will get
about so far and no farther. Such men
will always be needed on the farm, but
the man who commands the high wag-
98 must have the ability to size up a

' piece of work at a glance and know

what to do. It is quick-acting brains
that count most on the farm nowadays.
The fellow who can’size up a situation
when he sees it coming in the distance

" ’» and be ready to meet it, will always

find opportunity for advancement on
'the farm, and if he puts his whole
Strength and enthusiasm into it as he
would into a game of football he will

i . ‘soon have a farm of his own.

a field where I could utilize the knowl-
edge and experience gained during the
years I spent on the farm and in a
technical college. I now own a farm
and consider myself as much of a farm-
er as I ever was, and entitled' to the
Opinion. My work has covered quite
a wide field and I have played the
whole game from faim laborer to fa1m
owner, and have some thoughts on the
problem.

The efficient management of farm
labor is largely a matter of studying
human nature. Some men know too
much and some men know too little.
It is difficult for one to secure a well-
balanced fellow who will do his work
promptly and efficiently. Besides, men
vary so much in temperament, strength
and the ability to do certain kinds of
work that one must make a careful
study of each man and try to get him
working under conditions and sur-
roundings that will bring out-the best
that there is in him. One of the best
hired men I ever had on my farm
proved an utter failure for the first few
weeks, because he had a natural dis-
like for dairy cattle: One day the man
who had charge of the team work was
taken ill, whiCh necessitated a change
in the working force.
man for the dairy barn and put Tom
in charge of the team work’ and field
work. I never had a man who had the
knack of keeping things going so
smoothly in the fields. The, long and
straight furrows and corn rows excited
the admiration of peeple who passed
the farm. The change from dairy work
to team work made a loyal and con-

tented man out of one who had been a

failure at first. I have had many such

any other line of work. At the start he .

can do about as well as he could in the
shOp or factory. The great difficulty

with farm Work is that experience

counts for so little. An experienced
‘tradesman or railroad man gets better

- wages? and is held in higher regard be-

cause of his experience. After a few

years, experience in farming counts for ’

nothing. Mental and physical gymnas~
ties are the great assets of the farm

‘ hand. Granting all this, I still hold that

it a young man has an aptitude for farm

work and will learn the business, there , 1 '-

cases and,fthough I am living on the
farm myself and take the lead in much
of the work, I always try to have each
man satisfied with his work and pro-
portion it so that each man will know
just what he is expected to do and not
attempt to put his share over on the
other men. Some men will work well
by themselves but are not much good
when put with two or three others. All
of these traits of character must be
studied and the work so proportioned
that each man may do his best and be
loyal and contented.

Farm labor is just about what we
make it and before it will be in a fair
way to be put on a better basis the
working conditions on farms must be
improved. Experts tell us how manu-
facturers have increased the efficiency
of their men by providing more favor-
able conditions, eliminating lost motion
and shortening the working hours. It
would seem that farmers should profit
by a. study of these problems and do
everything possible to encourage bet-
for men to work on farms. About the
first thing to do is to provide work the
year round and get married men and
their families into comfortable cottage
homes. Many people wonder why lab-
oring men go to the city when they
are needed in the country. Where, let
me ask, would they go? Have you a
pleasant“ tenant house on your farm?
If you have one at all, what is it like?
Is it as good as one of the muslin-front
hen-houses? Where is it? Have you
stuck it behind some big red barn
where you keep your prize cattle or is
it near the hog yards? Is there any
ground about it to provide a garden or
flowers? Even hired mens’ wives love

flowels. A majority of men would be

’ willing to live where they would not

want to take their families. Lab us
have more cottage homes for our men
and help to raise the plane of efficiency
of farm labor.

Coupled with the betterment of
Working and living conditions the build
ings and fields should be arranged so
as to avoid lost motion and unneces-
sary hauling. It is an easy matter to
save a vast amount of time during the
year by giving these problems a little
study. The same holds good on all
parts of the farm.

In order to shorten the working day
on the stock farm one has to learn that
he is a stockman, and plan his manage—
ment so that the care of the stock will
be done at a specified time each day.
When he awakens to the fact that clo—
ver and grass are more valuable than
too large an 'acreage of small grain
crops and that. more bushels of grain
may be grown on fewer acres under a
proper system of rotation and stock
feeding he can so plan his work that
fewer men and teams will be needed
on the farm than is the case when he
is attempting to do all of his farm
work during the crop growing and har-
vesting season with a force of inferior
men. Stock farming, properly conduct-
ed, will reduce the amount of field
work and enable one to provide steady
work for his men and teams during the
year. Such management necessarily
attracts the better ClaSS of men and
works strongly toward putting the
farm labor on a higher plane of effi-
ciency.

It is business suicide for a farmer to
employ labor without planning his
work so that each hour will add most
to the net income of the farm. This
net income is made up of cash profits
and direct benefits. The food for the
family grown on the farm, the com-
forts of the family and modern convent
iences, permanent improvements, and
so forth, should all be taken into ac-
count in figuring the profits from farm
labor. A careful study of the class of
men employed on farms shows that the,
most efficient men are found on the
best farms, and the less efficient on
the poorer farms. This is, undoubtedly
due to the fact that the best farms
from the vieWpoint of the hired men

are those where a system of stock
farming furnishes steady work during
the whole year. It is this feature of
stock faiming that has never been giv-
en due appreciatiOn by the giain farm-
er who holds up the old argument that
stock farming requires too great an ex-
penditure for hired labor. 0n the oth-
er hand, the stock farmer can raise
grain at less cost per bushel than the
grain farmei, because of the increased
fertility of his land and the more effi-
cient organization of his men and
teams. The careful study of the 1ela-
tive conditions surrounding the man

,who has steady work during the year, A

and who lives with his family onithe
shows that he ”09‘? Dept) ' V

CURRENT COMMENT

HAT one of the

chief causes of
. the abnormally high
Stnke cost of living is the

Bill lessened production
due to increased labor
strikes is clearly shown by Roger W.
Babson, the nation’s leading statisti.
cian, in an article published in a cur-
rent American Magazine. Mr. Bab-
son’s facts and figures are so impres-
sive that they are worthy of general
study. He has compiled the number of
important strikes by yearly periods
from November to October inclusive,
showing a progressive increase in the
number of strikes of from 701 for this
period in 1914-15 to 2,185 in the same
’period for 1918-19, an increase of over
200 per cent.

His figures relating to the cost of
these strikes are equally interesting.
He estimates the loss to employers for
the latter year at approximately $50,-
000,000, and the loss to workers in idle
days at ten times that amount, or
$500,000,000, which latter item may be
made up later by increased wages se-
cured by this method, provided the
increase is permanent. This loss he
estimates to be distributed over 1,600,-
000 workers, and to approximate $300
apiece.

But the 1085 to the public in which
class the strikers are themselves in-
cluded, is much greater. In the realm
of men’s work clothes, for instance,
Mr. Babson figures that the loss in
production directly caused by strikes
approximated 1,768,800 pairs of men’s
shoes, 15,886,500 men’s shirts and 19,.
183,800 pairs of overalls, to say noth-
ing of the indirect loss running back
to the source of the raw materials.
The fact that a comparatively small
percentage in lessened production is
illustrated by examples such as the
cotton crop of 1915, which was about
thirty per cent short of the flush crop
of the prévious year, with the result
that the average price increased about
sixty per cent, and the coffee crop of
the current year, which is nine per
cent lower than that of the previous
year, While the price has increased
sixty’eight per cent. In like manner
lessened production is equally certain
to raise the price of other products to
the consumers of the country to an
equal degree.

An epidemic of strikes such as the
country has suffered during the past
year is costly to the people as a whole,
and of doubtful benefit to the work-
, men who have joined in them, even if

application of a r f jedy' is ‘more dim-
cult. Undoubtedly ,the mostf effective
remedy would be the education of fin-
dustrial workers as to the need ’of
more production as a means to the end
of reducing the cost of living, onwhich
point some branches of‘organized la-

‘bor have been insistent under threat

of more strikes. This is a plume. of in-

; dustrial unrest which must be reckon-

ed with. It is a reconstruction prob-
lem of no small moment, and of far-
reaching importance to the future wel-
fare of the country.

ETAIL prices for
A Pure clothing are high
, and people are of the
Fabr'c Law Opinion that this high
is Needed price is due to the
' price of wool. Flock
owners of America desire that the pub-
lic shall know more about what part
of the cost of clothing goes to the man
who raises the sheep and produces the
wool out of which woolen clothing is
made, and how large a portion of vir-
gin wool is used in the manufacture of
the clothing.

According to data recently furnished
to the United States Senate by the
National Wool Growers’ Association it
requires one and a quarter pounds of
secured wool to produce one pound of
worsted, wool cloth., One yard of
worsted cloth weighs from ten to eight-
een ounces; the average winter suit,
which retails from $50 to $75, is made
of goods weighing fourteen ounces per
yard. At three and onehalf yards per
unit, or slightly over three pounds, it
would require less than sixty-tWo ounc-
es of secured wool to make the suit.
If thg suit happens to be made of the
very finest grade of western wool, sells
ing at $1.90 per scoured pound, instead
of the medium grade, the wool in the
entire suit would cost $7.37. This is
what the buyer is paying for, but what
he gets is another question. ' .

It is claimed by well-posted authori-
ties that more than eighty per cent of
the raw material used in manufactur-
ing “all wool” cloth is shoddy. This
will explain why it is almost impossi-
ble to buy clothes that will wear as
well as formerly. It is time the public
was protected from shoddy profiteers
who are charging “all wool” prices for
yards of re-vamped shoddy. There is
a legitimate place for shoddy-in manu-
facturing fabrics, the same as there is
for oleomargarine in the human die-
tary, but there is no more reason why
shoddy should be sold as wool than
there is why oleomargarine should be
sold as butter. A suit of clothes or
overcoat made of genuine wool will
wear for a long time and hold its
shape. When shoddy is used the
strength of the fabric is impaired and
it shows its bad feature in a short
time.

Every person interested in buying
wearing apparel, as well as wool pro«
ducers, should make a careful study of
the pure fabric bill now before con-
gress. The passing of such a bill
would mean that buyers of woolen ap-
parel would be insured against shoddy,
and that a larger portion of the money
expended would go to the men who
are keeping the sheep. There never
was a time when both producers of
wool and purchasers of wearing appar-
el realized the value of a pure fabric
law more than they do today, and now
is the time for congress to free the
public from clothing profit-eers, and
wool growers from unfair competition.

The menace to wo'ol growers frOm
the‘general use of shoddy in clothing
is. greater than is the dumping of wool
into America from foreign countries,
and yet for years politicians have been
pleading for the protection “(if the
American sheep industry. What the

Iowanto succeed Dav-

, cently resigned the
office of Secretary Of Agriculture to ac-

years Mr. Meredith has been in close
touch with the agricultural interests of

Meredith
Succeeds
Houston

the great middle-west, where he has

been unusually successful as the pub-
lisher of one of the leading national
farm publications.

It was Mr. Meredith, who, a number
of years ago conceived the idea of a
powerful national farmers’ organiza-
tion to represent agriculture at Wash
ington. Through his publication he
launched a campaign for a National
Chamber of Agriculture, which finally
‘resulted in the organization of our
present state and national farm bu-
reaus. It is a fitting climax to the per-
fection of this great organization that
Mr. Meredith should be appointed to
this important position. With a Secre-
tary of Agriculture, who is in full sym-.
pathy with such an organization it is
plain to see that the present farm bu-
reau movement will find the comple-
tion of its national bureau much eas-
ier than would have been the case had
it been forced to fight for recognition
from a Department of Agriculture
who frequently failed to grasp the
farmer’s point of view. The farm bu-
reau movement is fortunate, indeed, in
having‘ a man of Edwin T. Meredith’s
type at the head of the Department of
Agriculture during the ~time it is ac-
tively fighting for recognition from oth-
er interests at the Capitol.

While the coming year means much
to the agricultural interests of the
country, it is only fair to the new See-
retary of Agriculture to say that con-
ditions are hardly favorable for him to
make a creditable showing in such a
comparatively short term of office.
Many of the most capable men former-
ly connected with the work of the de-
partment, especially those in the Bu-
reau of Markets, have resigned to ac
cept more remunerative- positions in
the fruit and vegetable trade, while
others are planning to leave in the
near future. This seriously handicaps
the work of the department, and makes
it extremely difficult to fill the vacan-
cies with men of the right caliber. It
is going to require considerable time
and increased pay to find men capable
of filling some of these positions efli~
ciently. In the meantime let us get be~
hind our new secretary by doing what
we can to influence congress to recog-
nize the situation and make adequate
appropriations to attract competent
men to some of these positions. It is
wrong to have the great Department of

Agriculture used merely as a training“

school for men who are seeking more
profitable positions in the commercial
world, as has been the case during the
past few years.

‘lTheQuality of Seeds

Grief to the Farmer

- 'Infi’rioi: Seed Break: Ma Q Uniformity of tile Stand and Bring:

ERTAIN factors have a determin-
ing-influence upon the profit and
yield of farm crops. These fac-
tors always vary from seas0n to sea-
sOn, yet their relation to the crops is
constant, at least ,with reference to
their importance. First, among these
important
which the crop develops; second, the
supply of available plant food and
moisture; third, the climatic condi.
tions, an‘influence which can scarcely
be estimated; and, fourth, the protec-
'on of the crop against insect and fun-
/2us enemies. A full consideration of
all these factors necessarily involves
many questions of culture and manage-
ment Which are rather of an indefinite
nature and entirely aside from some
of the things which our seed experts
and crop experts are thoroughly famil-
iar with. ‘ >
First, let us give thoughtful consid-
eration to some of these latter factors
in the light of what investigation and
experience has wrought for them, leav-
ing the question of pure seeds for our
main consideration. Few of our farm-
ers realize what a vast amount of
knowledge has been acquired in con-
nection with the study of our soils and
the kinds of plant food that is needed
to produce crops profitably. From the
,work of our soil experts we have de-
veloped principles and practices which
practically every farmer has adopted
and applied to his own conditions. The
question of the use of chemical plant
foods, their use, value and relative effi-
ciency, has received a larger amount
of well-deserved attention from our
leading experiment stations. With the
extensive development of the use of
these materials has come also the sys-
tem of fertilizer control, which insures
to the purchaser a certain amount of
definite information to guide him in
the selection and use of these plant
foods. In this, and in the development
of other phases of soil management,
the farmer has been furnished with
such‘information that he is in a posi-
tion to control the plant food factor to
a large extent. As a result of this in-
formation, we can point to increased
yields per acre without a correspond-
ing increase in the cost of production.
The application of this knowledge,
then, in the control of the many phases
of this factor of plant food means larg-
er profits.
Climate a Varying Factor.
Climate is the most difficult factor
to cope with successfully. Were it pos-
sible, for instance, ‘to accurately pre-
dict the temperature and rainfall for
the coming season, how well could we
make our plans for all other phases of
crop 'productiOn. If we were assured
that there would be a light rainfall
and many hot days, we could select‘a
crop to suit these conditions, and crop
failures would seldom occur. In this
field, however, much has been accom-
plished to place the farmer in a posi-
tion where he may have information to
If :act'upon. "’With a remarkable degree

factors is the seed from,

'ihe ability of the seeds

ward developing strains and varieties
resistant to certain climatic features.

Seed Quality.. ‘

The factor of seed quality 13 one
which merits greater attention from
all sources, including the seedsmen,
the buyer and the grower. The farmer
wants to know the variety, the purity
or freedom from foreign matter, and
to produce
.plants as measured by their ability to
germinate when placed in congenial
conditions. Supplied with information
of this nature there is little or no rea-
son for seed failures. Neglect to as-
sume responsibility of ascertaining
seed information is perhaps due to con-
ditions in the seed trade, which has as-
sumed such enormous proportions.
That some of these conditions should
be remedied goes without saying and
the purpose of this article is to call
the attention of the farmers of the
state to some of the reasons why they
should exercise more care in the selec-
tion and testing of seeds.

In the Good Old Days.

In the early period of our agricultur-
al development when the means of dis-
tribution were limited, seed production
was largely a local business. A few
farmers in a. community raised seed
and it was possible to have more or
less information concerning the yield
and character of the crops from which
it was produced. As farm areas in-
creased more rapidly, there came a.
greater demand for seed which was
supplied, in part, by local seed and, in
part, by commercial see’d. Gradually
the demand and sale of farm seeds as-
sumed such proportions that certain
men engaged in the business, buying
seed here and there, cleaning and grad-
ing. when necessary, and distributing it
to other parts of the country.

The development of certain restrict-
ed and more or less widely separated
areas. as seed producing centers also
necessitated the seryice of the dealer
as a middleman and distributor. With
the responsibility of growing and har-
vesting of seed removed, and the pur-
chasing of seed from the market hav-
ing become such a simple proposition,
there seems to have developed the ten-
dency to pay little attention to the mat-
ter other than to be concerned and in.
dignant when prices soar, when the
seed fails to make a strong germina-
tion or when obnoxious weeds appear
in place of crop plants». No one would
excuse the folly of a farmer who would
permit himself to be blind-folded and
then pass over good money for a cow
he had never seen. If such methods of
transacting business are careless in the
purchase of cattle they are equally
careless in the purchase of seed for
farm crops.

Satisfaction in Purchasing Seeds.

natural that farmers should want to

can be applied '30 as 'to miniml'Ze the
element of chance that plays such a
large part in the use of seed, or other
materials purchased indiscriminately.
And, after all, scientific or business
farming is largely a process of elimi-
nating this element of chance or acci-
dent by applying the facts gained by
scientific investigation to the opera-
tions of farming. '

Seed testing does not inblude merely
the operation of ascertainig purity and
germination. While these factors are
very important there are other ele-
ments of quality which may affect the

yield and profit as 'much, or even more.

We must proceed to ascertain qualify
in all its features so far as it is human-
ly possible, and this is what seedtest-
ing should mean to every farmer.

To thoroughly understand the points
involved in real seed testing it is nec-
essary to analyze the term quality in
such a manner that its important ele-
ments will stand out clearly. These-
various elements suggest definite ques-
tions that must be answered so far as
is practicable, and the attempts to an-
swer these questions involve such ef-
forts as may be combined under the
term ”seed-testing.” In the next few
paragraphs the writer will give a few
factors which must be considered in
determining the quality of seeds.

Identity of Species.
' Is the seed offered of the species
true to name? Fortunately. In the case
of most farm crop seeds the identity
of the species is evident in the“ form
and general appearance of the seed.
Were this not the fact, then it would
be necessary to adopt other means of
identification. In some cases the seed
must be planted, and the resulting
plants examined to fully determine the
species. To judge of the species re-
quires familiarity with the appearance
of the different crop seeds. Lacking
this, one may resort to the opinion of
the experts employed by the federal
government or. the state experiment
stations.

Identity of Variety.

Is the seed offered of. the variety
named? To answer this question by
the examination of the external char-
acters of the seed is more often impos-
sible than not. With certain crops,
identification of varieties from appear-
ance of seed is possible within certain
limits. With the majority of vegetable
seeds, however, it is difficult to deter-
mine the variety from seed examina-
tion. Then one must grow the crop to
obtain satisfactory and definite infor-
mation. Careful seedsmen buying
stocks of untested seeds maintain trial
or proving grounds for this purpose.
When the identity of the strain plays
an important part in the marketing of,
and in the returns from a particular
crop, seed can be purchased a year in
advance of actual need and a small
quantity tested in a trial plot to ascer-
tain the identity.

Identity of Strain. -

Is the seed offered of the strain nam-
ed? The characteristiCS which distin-
guish the definite strains of any vari-
ety are not evident in the seed. Where
a particular strain is desired one may
secure most complete satisfaction by
purchase from the originator of the
strain or from one making a specialty
of growing that particular strain.

Appearance of the Seed.

Is the seed normal in color, etc., for
the kind named,- or is it dull and ab-
normal from ageor treatment? In the
purchase of seeds many place a great
deal of importance on the question of

 

    
 

with the ‘is‘auemm'sslor; etc; also '

appearance.’ As a guiding factor this

if one

 

of vitality and vifipmty; Purchasers-
should be cautioned, hOWever, against

highlypolished seeds of certain kinds 1'."

of farm and truck crops. such as’red
clover for example- Tlhe.’ unnatural
color and appearance of such seeds is l
intended to cover the real conditionpf
the seed. ‘
Origin of the Seed. _ l
Is the seed» offered from such a reg-
ion that its use would be followed with .
risk and diminished returns? This is
a very important matter with certain
crops, though the question cannot a1<
ways he answered. When not there is.~
added risk with certain kinds of seed.

Purity of the Seed. l

Is the seedpfree from chaff, rubbish
and foreign seeds in quantity or of, un-
desirable character? Thi’s can usually
be answered by careful examination;
but more satisfactorily by a proportion.
al analysis such as thelfederal and
state laboratories are prepared to
make. ’

_.___e

Weight Per Bushel.

Is the weight per measured bushel"
such that it indicates a superior grade
of seeds? Large, plump seeds and lit-r.‘
tle chaff make a heavier bushel than.
small seeds and a quantity of chaff.
This factor is especially important

with grass seeds in determining the

quality. I
Viability of the Seed.

What proportion of the seeds will
sprout when placed in suitable soil
conditions? Will most of them sprout
or are most of them dead? This ques—
tion is readily answered by resorting
to the germination test. This may be
made by the purchaser or he may ask
the state seed laboratory to make. the
test for him. The results in either case
will be valuable as a guide, not only in
the purchase, but in determining the
rate of seeding. l

. Vitality of the Seed. ‘.

Are the sprouts produced in the
germination test made under favorable
conditions, strong and vigorous. or are
they weak and likely to make weak
plants? This is often answered in the ,
results of the preceding test, for loss 1
of vitality is but a step on the road to {
loss of viability.

Health of the Seed. ‘

Is the seed offered apparently free
from signs of'disease which may have
attacked the seed itself or which may
attack the plants developing from such
seed? In the present development,
this is a matter: which must, in most
cases, be referred to trained patholo.
gists, who are“ able to detect and recog-
nize diseases and disease-produclng or“
ganisms in various stages of develop«
ment.. While this matter has received
little attention compared with other
matters pertaining to seed quality, it
is of no less importance. -

Definite answers‘ to many questions
with reference to points of seed qual<
ity are not possible in every case.
There should be an attempt, however,-
to answer as many as is humanly pos-
sible. In most instances, questions as
to variety and train must be answered
by the grower or by the dealer Who‘
is offering them for sale. Such state-
ments as may be‘made relative to
these points must be taken for grant-
ed as correct until subsequent develop
ment of the seed has proven or dis-
proven their accuracy. Inasmuch as'
this may involve serious loss it is safer
to answer this one the small test plots
where the character of the seed is such
that its vitality'andvviability will not
decrease excessively in a one or two«
year period. Thisflfeature is 'a strong

TUB-BORN resistance to bear pres-

sure has. beenevident' on" feed'mar-

kets for some woeks and no less
stubborn has been the opposition to
bullish enthusiasm among many mom»
bersiof the trade. As a. result, feed-
stuff prices have fluctuated within a
coniparatively narrow range, but the
tendency of values for practically all
commodities used extensively in dairy
feeding operations has been noticeably
downward, though only to a slight de-
gree, Discussion is.‘quite general in
feed market circles and among con-
suming interests in the country as to
the probability of a coxflinued easy
tone and to what extent, if any, values
will recede. Of course, there is a di-
vision of sentimentas to price-fluctda-
tions, yet it is significant that a bear-
ish attitude prevails among a majority
of the trade. '

It is hardly necessary to caution the
dairy- interests against purchasing
feeds in too large quantities for future
needs. The argument is often used
that when.buying in large quantities a
considerable saving in price may be
effected, which, no doubt is true. HOW'
ever, prices for most feed commodities
are at such an extraordinary level, and
the future of markets so uncertain,
that unexpected slumps may be wit-
nessed at a time when the feeder is
holding large stocks which would more
\ than wipe out the smallsaving realized

in the heavy purchase. Feeders in
neighboring districts should pool their
purchases, and in this way take advan-
tageof any saving and atrthe same
- time safeguard themselves against a
possible sharp readjustment of values.
This is being practiced more generally
among producers than at any other
time in the history of feed markets.

The high protein concentrates, cot-
tonseed a‘nd linseed cake and meal, are.
among the commodities which recently
have displayed softness. “Buyers won’t
buy,” is a comment heard often in cot-
tonseed feed trade circles, and almost
invariably the reason is high prices.
While dairymen of Michigan are not
particularly heavy direct buyers of cot-
tonseed feed, they provide an enor-
mous consumptive outlet for the prod-
uct in the form of various manufactur-
ed or commercial mixed feeds. The
abnormal levels commanded by mixed
feeds of high protein content are the
result largely of the near-record prices
demanded for cottonseed meal by
crushers of the south. Declines in cot-
tonseed cake and meal usually, or at
least should be, reflected in the prices
for the commercial mixtures.

.While mixers and the manufacturers
,of fertilizer have been heavy buyers of
cottonseed meal, the demand from the
range cattle feeders and breeders, from

feed lot owners and from members of

the dairy industry, has been very light
on the whole. For a" time considerable
buying was in progress by rangemen
of the northwest, including Montana,
Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, northern Ne-'
braska and surrounding states, which

seetions of the country suffered severe-

ly earlier in the season from drouth,
but that was merely a temporary spurt
in the demand. Those sections today

are buying very meagerly, not that ’

they are holding liberal stocks; but
that consumption is far below normal.
Favorable weather conditions thus far
this winter in the range states have
been an influence in the lessened de-
mand, but the extraordinary level of
prices, the abundance of roughage on

ranges in most districts, the rather un— ‘

satisfactory outcome“ of cattle opera.—
tions the past year, and the indiffer-
ence of feeders in using the high-pric-
ed commodities, explain the present
lack of buying. Dairymen have been
somewhat freer buyers because of the
relatively more favorable market for
their products and the tendency to
stimulate the milk flow, but other con-
suming interests thus far «have pur-
sued a policy quite similar to that of
rangemen. ,

At this writing cottonseed feed of
forty-three per cent protein content is
being offered on the Chicago market
around $80 a ton for carlots, and

around $82 a ton for. the forty-five per '

cent grade. These prices, which pre-
vail in the important feeding sections
of the central states territory show a
decline of about $3.00 a ton, compared
with a month ago. The 38.5 per cent
protein meal is quoted at a discount
under the high grades of approximate.
ly $1.00 for each unit of difference.
Cold pressed cottonseed cake is selling
around $62.50 to $63 a ton in Michigan
and surrohnding territory. Prices are
on a similar basis in other sections of
the country. ,

Depression in prices‘fdr cottonseed
feed is due in a measure to the fact
that crushers have recently been oper-
ating more generally on good quality
seed. Heretofore millers have been
actively working'oif their stocks of off-
grade seed, damaged by wet weather,
the meal, from which is being taken
by fertilizer and .mixed feed manufac-
turers. The amount of offgrade seed
sold to mills was abnormally large in
the aggregate, but trade advices indi-
cate the requirements of manufactur-
ers will .easily absorb the production.
But the high protein feeds, some of
which are running up to fifty per cent,
used almost entirely. by feeders are
moving more freely than at any other
time on the crop. Very large quanti-
ties of high protein meal are reported
in transit at the present time, and, un-
less demand soon develops for the
product, much so—called distress meal
may be available. Because of the high
level of prices, millers are unwilling to
store a portion of their output for
spring and summer needs, which norm-
ally is the case, and therefore are mak-
ing every effort to dispose of their
production as soon as possible to make
shipments. Such a practice increases
the bearish, position of the market so
far as the immediate future is concern-

HE Emmet County Cooperative
Cow-testing Association No.1 fin-
ished its first month’ s work Decemben

, with 210' cows 011 test. COnsidering the

newness of the work-the first month’s
results were good. Thirteen cows pro;
duced thirty pounds or more of butter-.
fat for the month. Of this number
three produced over forty pounds oi
fat. Five herds had an average of (IV;
er 600 pounds of milk or twenty-five,
pounds of butter-fat. There is much,
interest being shown by the men in
the matter of feeding, and V sev—'

the needs of the herd. Three herds.
were not put on test butwill becnterv

By IW. eNi‘c‘olmn '
N response to‘ an (invitation from

' Professor C.._,P. Bull, of'Minnesota,
5 delegates frOm a number of state

 

‘July 11; 1919,, at St- Paul, Minnesota.
The following states were represented:
North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan.
South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

of a number of state associations for
closer relationship and a chance for
interchange of ideas, with a view to

attaining higher and more- uniform :

standards of seed requirements.

Professor R. A. Moore spoke briefly .
on the advantages of those interested «7/;
. in crOp improvement meeting on com: 7/
' so more people could -/
profit by the experience and results ,

mon ground, .

already accomplished.

Mr.‘C. P. Bull, secretary of the Min- /
nesota Crop Improvement Association, :, ,
speaking on “What Should Constitute 7/

Pedigree or Purebred Seed,” brought
out the fact that many associations

have to deal in their inspection work 2/;
with both self-pollinated and cross-pol- z/C
linated varieties and that the term ,
“pedigree” should be broad enough to '

cover both types. The requirements for

growing seed stocks of cross-pollinated ;
varieties would have to be more strict ,‘ ,

regarding. their proximity to other va-
rieties. of the same kind of_ grain. It
should be required that all seeds ad-
vertised as purebred or» pedigreed
should be carefully inspected, both as'
to origin, present purity and freedom
from other'undesirable factors.

Mr. J. W. Nicolson, secretary of the
Michigan Crop Improvement Associa~
tion, next spoke on “Seed Inspection
and Certification by Associations,” em-
phasizing the need for more uniform
and in general higher purity require-
ments for seeds approved by associa-
tions. “Much. of the plant breeder’s
work of the past years has been lost
'from lack of a properly organized crop
improvement association to cooperate
in maintaining high standards of pur-
ity and excellence while increasing and
distributing improved varieties. A
number of states now have sections
-quite well standardized on a given va-
riety. Oftentimes this variety has ex-
cellent adaptation in other states. We
should standardize our inspection re-
quirements and make them strict
enough so farmers of any state associa~
tion can secure inspected seed from
other states which will correspond in
quality and purity to the standards
to which he is accustomed.”
resume was given of some of the Mich-

_ igan Crap Improvement Association's

requirements for registration of seeds.

Mr. B. S. Wilson, secretary of the
Kansas Crop Improvement Association,

gave a paper, on “The Inspection of

Kanred Wheat.” Mr. Wilson gave in
detail the methods pursued in {inspect-

ing in 1919 a very large acreage of ,
Kanre'd wheat which through the ef-
forts of the Agronomy Department and

the Kansas Improvement "Association,

is rapidly becoming the standard vari-.
ety of, Hard Red Winter Wheat for the _;_

state.

. Minn. L. Stone, State Seed Inspector ':
of Wisconsin, spoke on “Official State '
, Seed Inspection.” Mr. Stone explained ,1

I New YOrkf f‘HOrt’” Meeting

N a talk on pruning, Professor W.
H. Chandler, of. I'thaca,.said‘ that m
the test orchards at the State Col«
lege of Agriculture many trees are used
in experiments to determine the mer-
its of the different forms to which fruit
trees are commonly trained, and tests
have gone far enough that the effect
of the pruning to secure the different
forms on the fruitfuiness of‘t’he young
apple trees, can be reported.

One method permits the tree largely
,to shape itself, only removing crossing
and interfering branches. Another is
called the open head, usually only five
main branches are permitted to grow.
and the four lower ones are kept larger
tlian“‘the uppermost one. This is to
avoid bad splitting forks formed by the
branches of equal size. To secure the
central leader form all of the branches
are cut back enough to keep them
smaller than main leaders. As many
branches are left as it is possible to
leave without having too much crowd-
ing. With such varieties as VVeait’hy,
Rome, Wagener, Hubbardston and
Northern Spy, not a large amount of
pruning is required, but much is neces-
Sary to force spreading forms like the
Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening and
Tompkins King into that form.

The amount of fruit borne to the
tree by the time they were nine years
old on the side of the orchard includ-
ing Baldwin, McIntosh, King, Wagene'r,
Northern Spy, Oldenburg, Rhode Island
Greening, Twenty-ounce and Wealthy
was as follows: Littlé pruning, 264.21
pounds; central leader, 220.10 pounds;
open head, 200.10 pounds. The result
in the orchard which contains only Mc-
intosh, Wagener, Oldenburg and Weal-
thy, was as follows: Little pruning,
303.81 pounds; central leader, 307.62

'trees receiving little pruning; the
smallest by trees trained to the open
head and receiving the largest amount
of pruning. It may be said that all
trees pruned to open head form are de-
veloping satisfactorily. In case of a
number of varieties like Baldwin,
Rhode Island Greening and Tompkins
King the pruning given to secure a
central leader form has not been suffi'
cient to cause the trees to develop sat-
isfactorily with that form. It is prob-
able that the open head form of tree
can be secured with less pruning than
would be required to secure a central
leader in the case of Baldwins, Rhode
Island Greening, Tompkins King, Mc-
Intosh, Winter Banana, Twenty~ounce,
and Jonathan. The central leader form
can be secured with a smaller amount
of pruning in case of Wealthy, Wag-
ener, Oldenburg, Rome and probably
Northern Spy.

Professor J. H. Gourley, horticultur-
ist-of the New Hampshire Experiment
Station, spoke on the soil fertility prob-
lem in the orchard, saying that Dame
Nature has made a different problem
for each orchard. If you want to know
its fertilizer needs, go to- your orchard
and find out. With apple orchards the
tillage andvsod mulch'systems, can both
be made successful, depending upon
the- natural cenditions. With stone
fruits tillage shouldp'be the rule.
| Any systemr of, orchard cultivation
'should include cover crops but in
twelve years‘this has not resulted in
increase of fruit’over clean culture in
New Hampshire experiments.

growing, and in some cases when the
trees are well grown. We maintain
that asa rule in sodor mulched or-

chards it pays to fertilize, but in tilled -

orchards much money is lost by appliv
cations of fertilizers. It has also been
observed that the apple is grown suc-
cessfully, where there is no lime and
orchards do not respond to lime appli’
cations. ,

Red colOred fruit is not affected ex.
cept adversely by fertilizers. Inorganic
forms of artificial fertilizer seems to
give more satisfactory results than or-
ganic ones. The grower will most al-
ways get results if he uses nitrogeneous
fertilizers in sod orchards. Nitrate of
soda gives better results if put on two
or three weeks before blossoming time.

In his report on plant diseases, Prof.
F. C. Stewart, of the Geneva Experi-
ment Station, referred briefly to experi‘
mental results as given in several re-
cent bulletins. In one experiment it
was found that apples in ventilated
barrels scald less than one-third as
much as those in commercial barrels,
providing the storage room is ventilate
ed. Ordinary commercial wraps de-
creased scald but little. Apple scab
was very destructive in New York
state in 1919. Results of sulphur ex
periments do not give any indication
that dusting will supercede. spraying.
Bordeaux, if the 3-10-50 or 2-10-50 form-
ula is used, gives better results with
less injury than does lime-sulphur.

President R. A. Pearson, of the lows
Agricultural College, spoke of the sol-
id, intelligent, conservative farmers as
the defense of the nation and its
ideals, saying that the people who are
working to overthrow the government
are evidently ignorant of the fact that
there is such a conserving force in the
country.

Some fruit statistics were given-by
George Atwood, of Albany, in which he
showed that while the apple crop in
New- York state laSt year was very
small, it has brought the growers larg-
er aggrega’te returns than in years of
normal yields. He stated that over
nine million barrels ofapples in the
United States, of the last year’s crop,
have been made into by-products, most-
ly cider.

In his report on new fruits, G. H.
Howe, of the Geneva Experiment Sta‘
tion, said the Cortland apple, originat-
ed at the station, resembled McIntosh
in shape and color and the trees were
hardy. The Delicious apple is appar-
ently gaining in favor in the lower
Hudson valley. The King David fruit
last season was of excellent quality.
Of the peaches, J. H. Hale is a most
promising variety but tender in wood.
June Alberta is an attractive large
early peach, and almost a freestone.
The Rochester is susceptible to. brown
rot. The Pacific is an attractive plum,
larger .than other purple varieties. The
Ida cherry can nevertake a high place
as a commercial variety, the fruit is

soft. Ontario ranks well among stand?

ard green grapes, but does not stand
shipping well. The Honeysweet black
raspberry has‘ given a very favorable
impression at the station. It is worthy
of a trial. The Premier is a perfect
strawberry, superior to the Senator
Dunlap in Chautauqua county.

“I am happy as a lark now, since
I got my Perfection M11ker‘,’ ’ says
Pete Robinson. "I have used two
different kinds of milkmg machines
but~I find the Perfection superior to
both. The construction of the teat cup,
the manner in which it draws the milk, the
' small 'amount of vacuum required and the
adjustment to suit different cows puts the
Perfection in a class by itself. In my
opinion there are only two classes of milking
machines—The Perfection and all others.”

Get Rid of Hand Milking

Wouldn’t you be a happier man if you
could get rid of milking by hand? There
are thousands of Perfection owners like
Pete Robinson who are rid of milking
drudgery forever. » ‘

The Perfection and one man take the

.How do you know that
the tires you buy are the
best tires you can get?

You should know. Tires
differ vastly both in wear
and uniformity.

You may be losing half
the mileage due you.

The Extra Miles

Large tire users make
comparisons. Some compare
20 makes of tires on millions
of miles of road. This is
done on stage lines, on taxis
and on trucks.

Miller Tires are winning
countless tests of this kind.
Andwtheir mileage records
have become the talk of
Motordor’n.

Teh Truth

About Tire Mileage

   
 
  

  
  

our factory we are compar-
ing rival tires with Millers.
We wear out over 1,000 tires
yearly to pr'ove that Millers
constantly excel.

Eight geared—up machines

each run these tires 650-

miles daily under rear-wheel
conditions. Four Pierce—
Arrows are driven by our
men 320 miles a day. And
we ‘make constant compari-
sons on scores of taxis and
jitneys.

We make extreme tests,
’using under—sized tires and
heavy loads. But Miller
Cords on our factory ma-
chines average 15,000 miles.

There are numerous large
cities—like Buffalo—where
not a single Miller Tire last
year came back for adjust-
ment. .

We also prove daily that
the tread will outlast the
tire. Every lot of tread stock
is vulcanized and tested in
our laboratory. Not one
Miller Tire built under these
methods has come back with
the tread gone.

So we 'know every day
that Miller- Tires will win

peace the milk

to make-a cow give a large yield, eight
or fifteen thousand“ pound8., it is just
as important to produce that milk‘ in
such a manner that it will cost-‘11s less

, than what we get for it. Producing

tenthousand pounds of milk at a cost
'of $200 is not very profitable to the
farmer, but if he can produce ten thou-
sand pounds for $150, or’better still,
for'$100 ,then there is a chance of mak-

cle that we feed the cow.

You can enumerate almost on the
fingers of one hand the list of really
succulent feeds available for the dairy
cow. Corn silage is easily the most
acceptable to the cow, but equally» as

properly fed. But the silage is better
for the farmer, just as good for the
cow, since silage can be. handled, all
periods considered, cheapest, easiest
and with greatest feeding efficiency.
Therefore, corp should be one of the
principal products of the dairy farm.
But corn alone is not sufficient, and
in order to balance things up, we must
give some dry food, because it is not
proper to give a cow nothing but we
culent food; that, would only disgust
her and disorganize her digestive sys-

' tern and put her in bad shape for pro—
ducing milk. Alfalfa is good Where it >

can be successfully grown and cured,
but there are other crops preciSely as
good for the dairy farmer. One we
might mention would be red or alsike
clover. Clover is almost as rich in food
as alfalfa, and it is easier made into
hay, and easy to feed, and is a sure'r
crop in most sections.

In addition to a succulent food and a

amp that does better than oats; barleyr
and wheat also do well, yet cats is the
better one to grow in most sections. If
the farmer adds to that a certain
amount of land given over to pasture
made of the proper kind of grass, then

.3 he has a complete production of food

 

for the dairy‘cow a succulent crop
for the winter, grasses for the summer
and clover or alfalfa for the hay, and
cats or barley for the grain, and some
straw. These four crops are essential
things for success in dairying. If the
farmer eliminates one of them he can-
not hope to make a success of dairying.

There are possibilities of increasing
our dairy farm crops that are almost

1 increditable to a man who has not tried

them, and. who has not worked these
things out.. it has been found that cer-
tain crops do better after certain oth-‘
ers. For instance, the man who would
grow in the first place a crop of corn,
finds he gets his best results when he
sows that corn on a clover sod or an
old pasture ‘sod. That sod plowed with
a. moderately shallow furrow and ma-
nure applied on the surface, and the
whole thing well packed and disk-bar.
rowed, and the corn sown right after

' the operations mentioned, results in a
_ good crop. »

“IT would be impossible for us to handle our present milk route except with a pneumatic-
tired truck. Our Goodyear Cord Tires have delivered mileages up to 13,500 to date over,

bad gravel, rocks and chuck holes.

With them we serve more farmers than we could

with the slow solid tires.”-—Harry E. Hughes, Dairy Farmer and Truckman, Hughes, Ohio

THIS statement describes hauling conditions
such as many farmers find can be counter-
acted most effectively with the perfected pneu-
matic truck tire. '

N ot. only does the, pneumatic—shod truck, as
compared With the solid-tired unit, average a
better rate of travel over country routes, without
necessarily reaching a high maximum speed,
' but it does so quite smoothly.

Rural users thus note that hauling on pneu-
matics adds to a savingeof time and brawnvim-
portant protection of equipment and loads,

shrinkable, perishable and“ breakable.
They particularly note the eflect of Goodyear

 

Cord construction, developed during recent
years, which makes possible pneumatic—
tire mileages comparing very favorably with
those of solid tires.

In addition to reporting that pneumatic-tired
trucks pave the way for the general motorization
of farm work, they list mileages of Goodyear
Cord Tires, on trucks, as ranging from 15,000 to
past 40,000 when given proper care.

Accurate information furnished by farmers and
other rural haulers, showing how they improve
their methods and incomes with pneumatic-
tired trucks, can be obtained by writing to The
Goodyear Tire 8: Rubber Company, at Akron,
Ohio.

“ in Net:

I AST week I presented something
of the men who claim to repre-.
sent farmers in Washington. » I

shall now endeavor to give an impar-

tial account of some of the things these
men have done and where they stand
upon important questions.

Each insists that he is voicing the

sentiments of a majority of the mem«

here in the organization he represents.

When he goes before a congressional

committee he speaks for the five hunj

dred thousand or million farmers of. his
organization and for all farmers in gen-
eral. Here lies the secret of their pow-
erful influence in congress. The aver-

age senator or congressman has a

wholesome respect for organized pub.

lic sentiment.

The Grange is strongest in the east,
and eastern farmers are conservative
in their views. This conservatism ls
reflected in the atmosphere of the
'Washington Grange headquarters. The
efforts of Professor Atkeson and Mr.
Loomis have been directed to the pre
vention of destructive legislation rath-
er than the promotion of a construc-
tive program. With the flood of pro-
posals now before congress about all
the farmer representatives can do is
to investigate each bill, weigh Its good
and bad features by the standard of
farm and country needs, refer the in-
formation thus obtained back to state
and local organizations, and then make
the best fight possible for its enact-
ment, defeat or amendment.

The Grange representatives, by their
timely opposition to the Lane-Mondell
land development bill, to drain swamp
lands and irrigate desert lands, were
largely instrumental in defeating the
proposition. Mr. Mondell wisely told
of a delegation of governors and other
representatives from the swamp land
states and the arid belt that there was
little chance of getting his pet land
scheme through congress.

The Grange has endorsed the Cum-
mins bill, providing for the early re-
turn of the railroads to their owners,
with a labor dispute tribunal and its
anti-strike clause. The new Kenyon
packer bill embodies the essential pro-
visions that were in the Grange bill,
prepared by Professor Atkeson at the
request of Senator Gronna, and if it
becomes a law, it will be distinctively
a Grange measure.

The Grange has joined with the
Farmers’ Union, Dairymen’s League
and National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions in presenting a resolution in fa-
vor of “the early ratification of the
peace »treaty with such reservations
and compromises as may be neces-
sary.”

In regard to Senator Smoot’s bill to
repeal the exemption provisions of the
land bank law in so far as they apply
to future bond issues by the joint stool:
banks, the Grange representatives say
the issue is a plain one. “Either it is,
or it is not, a good public policy to fur—
nish money at low rates to develop
farm home owning. If it is good pol-
icy, in'your judgment, then write your
senators and congressman to defeat
the Smoot Land Bank bill.”

The Grange headquarters is keeping
a close lookout on the several daylight:
saving bills, so-called, that have been
introduced. Cities and states may take
action which will, in a measure, nullify
the law and be injurious
interests. '

I have never visited headquarters that
I did not find representative farmers
from different parts of the country de-
veloping plans- for intelligent action.
Through these men and through com—
munication with the local units of the
component organizations, Secretary
Lyman is able to keep well informed ‘
as to the attitude and demands of
farmers.

The National Board of Farm Organi-
zations claims to have secured modifi-
cations of the draft rules affecting
farm boys, is largely responsible for
increased activity in the Department
of Agriculture along economic lines,
aided in securing the defeat of the day-
light saving; its representatives pre-
pared the initial draft of the Capper-
Hersman bill, now pending, amending
the Clayton antitrust act so that collec-
tive marketing of farm products may
be made clearly lawful.

The National Board did not take an
aggressive stand on the old Anderson—
Kenyon packing-house bill, and friends
of effective packer legislation are of
the opinion that this bill, now diseard-
ed for the new Kenyon bill, not only
conferred arbitrary powers upon the
Department of Agriculture, -but con-
tained loopholes which made it ineffec— ’
tive. Mr. Lyman and Mr. Bower seem
somewhat undecided on the Smoot
Land Bank bill. ~

The Farmers' National Council has
evidently been more prolific in propa-
ganda than effective in influencing leg-
islation. Nevertheless, I am told that
Mr. Hampton was the father of the de-
natured alcohol bill and was instru-
mental in getting it through congress
a few years ago. Whether or not this
was a benefit to farmers I leave with
my readers.

Giving testimony relative to the atti-
tude of farmers toward government
ownership of railroads, before the in—
ter-state and foreign commerce com-
mittee, recently, Mr. Marsh said:
”Sentiment for government ownership
is increasing rapidly among farmers.”
Mr. Marsh favored the old Kenyon
packer bill which made the secretary
of agriculture sole autocrat of the meat
packing industry. Professor Atkeson,
the Grange representative, is author of
the clause in the new Kenyon bill
which provides for the enforcement of
the act by a federal live stock commis-
sion with three members.

Mr. Hampton joined with Samuel
Gompers and the railway brotherhood
officials in saying that “an overwhelm-
ing majority of farmers, of the mem-
bers of the American Federation of La-
bor, of- the railway brotherhoods, as
well as the general public, favor an ex.
tension of the period of government

operation of railroads for at least two
years.” '
The Farmers’ sNational Council

stands with the Grange and National
Board in favor of the Capper-Hersman
bill, but this appears to be the only
thing upon which it is able to agree
with the other organizations. It has
evidently tried to lineup the farmers
with the so-called new labor party and
is sombwhat addicted to the single~tax
idea. , .

g Eggs 01“
Stock

THE beginner with purebred poul-
~ try often wishes to know whether
hatching eggs or breeding stock will
be the best investment. Some have
the best luck in one way and some
with another. There are advantages
and disadvantages to both methodsl
The buyer of fine quality breeding”!
stock must pay a good price but he‘
sees the birds right after the purchase
and is able to form a fair judgment Ofl
the quality. It only takes a few birds
as foundation stock to build a large
flock, if skillful breeding is combined . ,
with patience. . '

The buyer of hatching eggs must
wait several months before he can tell
the exact quality of his stock and of-
ten the results will be much better or
much worse than expected. If a breed-
er is successful in raising chicks a
start with purebred stock can be ob:
tained cheaper with hatching eggs. A
five or ten dollar setting of eggs will
sometimes produce six or eight birds
of fine quality that are worth many
times the cost of the eggs. However,
it is not always possible to judge the
quality of hatching eggs by the price
asked. This is due to the fact that
some breeders with medium stock
think they have better birds than they ;
own. and feel they can ask a high
price. Other breeders with fine stock
may lack confidence and 5:911 their
hatching eggs for less than they are
worth.

Sometimes eggs ,can be purchased
from a breeder of fine stock that will»
have no stock for sale. He will keep
all of his best birds for his own use
but he will sell a few eggs from his
best birds every year. This gives a
new breeder a chanCe to procure some
wally fine stock for a moderate invest—
ment and if they are given good care',
such stock will pay good dividends.

Another mistake in buying hatching
eggs is to order eggs from bredoto-lay
stock and expect to raise a lot of ex-
hibition fowls. Both the bred-to-lay
and exhibition birds will be purebre‘d'
and from purebred birds of good vigor
and yet their value is different. Birds
that are mated for high. egg production
should produce good layers and birds
mated because of their feathers are ex-
pected to make birds with fine feath-
ers. The beginner who expects to raise
exhibition birds should go to the breed-
er of exhibition stock for his hatching
egg‘. The breeder who culls his birds
and keeps high egg producers may not
have a flock perfect in comb and feath-
er but it is the flock that the farmer
likes because of its utility value.

Many breeders are cndenvoring to

‘THE QUALITY or SEEDS-

 

(Continued from page 188).
argument for growing eone’s oWn seed
supply from proven stock where con-
ditions permit. ' .

There is no reason, however, for not
stating that any individual canmako
the necessary effort to gather informa:
tion that will enable him to judge 'ol:
the other factors of qiiality. Until. this
is done by the farmer or dealer it must
be assumed that the farmer is willing
to take a chance on untested seedsand
to gamble on his crop yields.

Seed Testing involves Time.

Seed testing requires 'a certain
amount of time. Purchase of seeds 3;
day or two before they are needed for
planting will not allow of careful test-
ing by the farmer. Early buying is
essential, and is recommended even
though one may be deprived of the
benefit of .a drop in the market price.
It must be realized that the saving of
a few cents per bushel by accepting
low-priced seeds, or by late purchase,
does not represent, in any degree, .the
full profit to be derived frOm the use
of such seed. Low-priced seed is not
always low grade, but much of it Is-
Also one purchasing seed late in the
season may have to accept whatever
the trade can offer. As with other
commodities, it is likely that the cream
of quality will be taken by the early
buyer.

Dealers Appreciate Early Orders.

The fact must not be overlooked that
seed dealers appreciate early orders
for seed of prime quality. If he spef
cializes‘ in farm crap seeds, then this
condition will doubtless obtain more
often than if he handles seeds as a;
sideline to a general store or feed busi—;
ness. . a l . . I
In conclusion it maybe well to state
that the purpose of the writer is not:
to belittle the judgment or practice qt!
any individual or groups of individuals
concerned with the‘ seed business. It;
is an attempt to arouse farmers to the
real importance of giving more attenw'
tion to the question of selecting highq
quality seeds and point out certain deflJ
nite features that every farmer-should
consider in order that he may improve.
the quality and yield of his crops. ' .
Past agricultural progress may have;
been due more to improvements in
technique than to the introduction-Von.
pure seed of’ better varieties, but in the

'future our hopes must center about

the use .ofbette‘r seed. There are val‘g
‘id grounds for this statement. Crop
production.is the application of the
principles of chemistry and physics.
and these two sciences are established
on a solid foundation; plant breeding
and seed selection is applied biology.;
and biology is in its: infancy because
its progress is also dependent upon
these older sciences. i

m Gum's Woodwork

EALLY beautiful woodwork at rea-

sonable cost has long been a cher-
ished dream of home builders. '

One could get good woodwork—honest

,. wood' and excellent workmanship—at a

fair price. But to finish a home in wood-
work architecturally true to some period
or expression required the services of an
architect to work out every detail of that
woodwork. This done, it was necessary
for some manufacturer to produce that
woodwork to order.

No wonder beautiful homes used to be

expensive.

We made good general woodwork and '

we made some of the specialkind. Our
ambition was to make the special kind
for every home builder. It seemed that

only in one way could the special kind of
woodworkbe put within the reach of all
—that way is through standardization.

We standardized Curtis Woornvork
from designs made by one of America’s
foremost architects. Standardization
thus becomes the means through which
you can have, at reasonable cost, the
woodwork of your desire.

Curtis Woodwork is true to four archi-
tectural expressions—Colonial, English,
Southern,“ and Western. Curtis Wood-
work in these four expressions is avail-
able at any Curtis dealer’s.

Your architect can use these Curtis
standard sizes and designs in planning
your home. lie can save his time and
your money by doing so. Nor will he sac-
rifice one single note of individuality
either in his work orin your home.

If you cannot consult an architect you
can build your home from Curtis plans,
which your lumber dealer can obtain.
These Curtis homes—of from three to
eight rooms—were planned and designed
by Trowbridge 8t Ackcrman, ‘New York
architects, who also designed all the Curtis
\Voodwork now within the reach of all.

{Why Banker Smith prefers

MULE—HIDE Shingles

“ T’S a business proposition with me. You see, no selflrespecting banker can
afford to wear frayed cuffs or worn-down heels whether he lives‘ in a big city

‘ or asmall town. I use the same logic in my surroundings That’s why the

roof of my house is covered with MULE—HIDE Shingles. For appearance
and durability MULE-HIDE can’t be beat.
those Shingles are giving the same service and have the same rich, gray-green
shade as when they were put on several years ago.

“Not a Kick in a. Million Feet”

is certainly some record; and I know from my experience that it is backed up by service. You can get
the same quality shingles in a beautiful red shade, too, but of course the color‘is a matter of pre-
ference and. it’s up to you. Just be sure it’s MULE-HIDE when you buy Roofing or Shingles."

Inspiration from the
. Llfe of Lincoln
By 1}. ]...~ Vincent

, . HE life of Abraham Lincoln, as
we look at it from the vantage
ground of more than half a cen-

tury, presents many and va-ying as-

pects. To one, it may germ that sim-

, Plicity was his outstanding Character-

istic; and Lincoln was a plain man, in
every sense a man of the people. Anoth-
er may believe that Lincoln was preemh
dent in his ability to use the English
language effectively. Of this there are
many excellentproofs. Again we may
find evidences of matchless human sym-
pathy, of perseverance under difficul-
ties, of unswerving devotion to duty
and loyalty to the country he loved so
well,

Nothing too good can ever be said
of Lincoln’s preeminence In any of
these directions. He was simple, _he
was possessed of oratorical ability, he
was devoted and he was loyal to a de-
gree rarely witnessed. But. think of
him for a moment as a man of power
to do the thing which seemed to him
to be right. A man might have all the
striking characteristics we have men-

. tioned and still fail in the possession

of that quality which will enable him
to stand fast and carry others with
him. Just here we find Lincoln's most
marked manifestation of‘greatness.

Sometimes we see little streams that
come down from the mountain side.
They sparkle and make music in the
sunshine, but What becomes of them?
One leads away into some valley field
and disappears amid the tall grasses.
Another threads its course across the
side of the mountain and is lost in a
‘morass. So these rivulets rise and
flash and go out of sight without ac-
complishing anything of good. The
more severe the storm ,the louder they
roar and the swifter they run; but ev-
ery particle of power they have is
wasted. They do nothing to help the
World or to ‘hold it fast in time of
tempest.

Again these hillside streams find
their way together. One gives up its
waters so that another may be made
larger and stronger. And yonder in
the valley we see a mighty river, with
power to turn wheels, to make men
happy, to help on the world’s com-
merce.

It was the prevailing note in Lin-
coln's character that every fine quality
converged toward it common center
and- made for power. ”Lincoln knew
how to carry men with him. The day
in which he lived called for Just such
ability as he possessed. A Weaker
man would have gone down and been
swept away by the tide which set so
strongly against him at times. The na-
tion was at its very extreme of peril.
A single false step on the part of the
man who was cérrying the country's
burdens and all would have been lost.
But Lincoln never took that step. Dark
though the shadows might lower about
him, fiercely as the tempest of hate
and envy might press upon him, he
stood like a rock in his place. He
knew how to be simple, and kindly and
gentle and cheerful, but‘he 'also knew
how to held fast to the right as God
gave him to s‘ee the right. .

And here we find our greatest lesson
as men of a‘ later day. How many
times of 'late have we been told that
we are living over a volcano. The con-
ditions .under which we are living are
depicted as having brought us "to the

that the times are critical! Perhaps

able to lead the nation through to light
as he did. His homely sense, his in-
domitable cOurage and his ability to
hold on appealed ‘to the sound judg-
ment of the people, and they gave him
the support which saved the nation.

Now, once more there is a call that
we shall summon every ounce of sound,
sober sense to the 1e3cue of the nation
from the flood of ills that seems to be
sweeping ove1 it. The call to every
farmer and every farmer’s wife and
every farmer’s boy and girl is ,to think
carefully, to weigh men and their acts,
to find out what is truth and then
stand bv it through every fomi of op-
position.

We admire Lincoln's power, and
rightly admire it. Now is the time to
make that same power our own!

AMERICA’S GIFT TO FRANCE.

,HE little town of Meaux on. the

RWer Marne, forms the high-water
mark of the great German advance on
Paris, in 1914. That town was approx-
imately the nearest point to Paris
reached by the advanced (.erman pa-
trols. On a spot in that village, to be
selected by Marshal Foch, it it planned
that the American nation shall erect a
colossal statue by Frederick MacMon~
nies, to commemorate the victory by
which the armies of France hurled
back the seemingly irresistible German
hordes. To complete this undertaking,
7a committee of representative Ameri-
can men and women have organized

and plans me now being laid to col-

Iect the neCessaiy- funds.

The cost of erecting the’ statue is ee-
timated at $250,000 and it is desired
that the gift come from people repre-
senting every phase of American life.
Therefore, it is purposed to secure the
necessary funds by a nation-wide‘ap-
peal to the school children of America
who will be invited to donate any
amount from one cent up. Adult sub-
scriptions will also be accepted. In
‘this way, “America’s Gift to France”
will resemble the Statue of Liberty

given in part by the school children of.

France.

DISAPPOINTING feature has

Proved. Its Reliability

In its official test of ‘50 hours to prove
endurance, Essex has established its claim as
the dominant new type light car. Who ever
before regarded a car of its type in the light
of such proVed performance and endurance?
Only specially built racers and a few of the
larger, costlier cars have been considered
capable of such a test. Surely light weight
cars have not been associated with such
reliability as Essex has shown.

' Proves Essex Economy

This test gives to Essex proof of the great-
est factor in motor car economy. Light
cars are notable principally for their economy
in saving of gasoline, oil and tires. These

[qualities Essex has revealed from the first.

But real economy must also include freedom
from repairs and mechanical attention—all
costly items.

So what greater proof of Essex economy

could be asked than its new *world endurance ,

mark.

5869 Miles in 94 Hours
22 Minutes Driving Time

These tests were not made to establish
speed records. Two trials were made be-
forcthc. 50-hour run was completed. So, in
all, the Essex went 5,869 miles in 94 hours,
22 minutes driving time, averaging more
than a mile a minute. Slect stopped one,
after 27 hours, 58 minutes, and 1790 miles.
Snow halted a-second, three days later, after
16 hours’ZS minutes and 1042 miles. The
third, begun the next day, Went the full

. (124)

   

_ 50 ‘ hours.

 

CccccooooaianI

These tests were made under
American Automobile Association observa-
tion on the Cincinnati Speedway.

Think what they mean. The average car
is driven little more than 5,000 miles in a
season. The average driving speed is
probably 25 miles an hour. The Essex
went more than a mile a minute for 5,869
miles.

You might expect. that a car of its weight
would require frequent mechanical attention.
But there was no need for that in the Essex.

Doesn’t It Settle the
Light Car Question?

Essex now adds to its light car qualities the
advantage of endurance and reliability. It
brings costly car distinction, beauty and
fineness to the light weight, moderate price
class. Essex cars appeal to pride, and that is
why owners speak of them as they do.

Individual owners would never ask as
much of a car as did this 50-hour test.

It showed how much more could be ex-
pected of an Essex than any one would
demand of it.

Every Essex delivered has resulted in an
increased demand. Sales passed $35,000,000
in 11 months—~21 new record.

This latest proof will decide thousands
who have only waited for just such evidence
that Essex would stand up. All buyers can-
not possibly be served. Now is the time to
make your reservation.

When Fendrick heard that the com-
missioners had condemned a right of
way forl a road through his homestead
he unloaded on the desert air a ricn
vocabulary. For here would have been,
a. simple way out of his trouble" if he-
had only thought of it. Instead of
which he had melodramatically kidnap-
ped his enemyand put himself within. -
reach of the law and of Cullison’s ven-- f,
geance.
Nor did Luck confine his efforts to
self-defense. He knew that to convict
Fendrick of the robbery he must first »
lay hands upon Blackwell. , 1.
It was, however, Bucky that caught. _ /
the convict. The two men met at the
top 'of a mountain pass. Blackwell,
headed south, was slipping down to
ward Stone’s horse ranch when they
came face to face. Before the bad man
had his revolver out, he found himself '
looking down the barrel of the ranger’s
leveled rifle.

“I wouldn’t,” Bucky murmured gen.
ially. , l

“What you want me f01. 9” demanded. ':
Blackwell sulkily.

“For the W. & S. 10.bbery”

“I’m not the man you want. My
name’s Johnson. ” . ’

“-I’ll put up with you till I find the
man; I do want, Mr. Johnson,” Bucky
told him cheerfully. “Climb down from
thatlhorse. No, I wouldn’t try that.
Keep your hands up.”

With his prisoner'in front of him,
O’Connor turned townward. They jog-
ged down out of the hills through dark '
gulches and cactus- clad arroyos The , .
sharp catclaw caught at their legs. . ' l 1,
Tangled mesquite and ironwood made ‘ . .
progress slow. They reached in time ‘
Apache Desert, and here Bucky hamp-
ed. He hobbled his prisoner’s feet and
put around his neck a rope, the other
end of which was tied to his own waist-
Then he built a. small fire bf greasev
wood and made coffee for them both.
The prisoner slept, but his captor did
not. For he could take no chances of
an escape. '

The outlines of the mountain ranges
loomed shadowy and dim on both sides.
The moonlight played strange tricks
with the mesquit and the giant cactus,
a grovd of which gave to the place an
awesome aspect of some ghostly burial
ground of a long vanished tribe. 4 .. '

Next day. they reached Saguache.
Bucky took his prisoner straight to the ‘
ranger’s office and telephoned to Cul~
liscn. ‘

looked long and steadily into his eyes,
and ended forever his reign of lawless-
ness. Sometimes the two- -gun man was

The ranger had a shrewd instinct
that the hour had come to batter down
this fellow’s dogged resistance. There—
fore he sent for Cullison, the man
whom the convict most feared.

‘ The very look of the cattleman, with

' that grim, hard, capableaspect, shook

Blackwell’s nerve.

“So you’ve got him, Bucky."

Luck looked the man over as he sat
handcuffed beside the table and read in
his face both terror and a sly, dogged
cunning. Once before the fellow had
been put through the ‘third degree.
Something of the sort he fearfully ex-
pected now. Villainy, is usually not
consistent. This hulking bully should
have been a hardy ruflian. Instead, he
shrank like a schoolgirl from the
thought of\physica1 pain. '

“Stand up,” ordered Cullison quietly.

Blackwell got to his feet atonce. He
could not help it, even though the fear
in his eyes showed that he cbwered be-
fore the anticipated attack.

“Do‘n’t‘ hit me,” he Whined.

Luck knew the man sweate‘d under
the punishment his imagination called
up, and he understood human nature
too well to end the suspense by mak-
ing ,real the vision. For then the worst
would be past, since the actual is nev-
er equal to what is expected.

“Well?” Luck watched him with the

look of tempered steel in his hard eyes.

The convict flinched, moistened his
lips with/his tongue, and spoke at last.

“I——I——Mr.v Cullison,” I want to ex-
plain. Every man is liable to make a
mistake—go off half cocked. I didn’t
do right. That’s a fac’. I can explain
all that, but I’m sick now—awful sick.”

' Cullison laughed harshly. “You’ll
be sicker soon.”

“You promised you wouldn’t do any-
thing if we' turned you loose,” the man
plucked tip courage to remind him.

“I promised the law’ wouldn’t do any-
thing You’ll understand the distinc-
tion presently.”

“Mr. Cullison, please I admit I
done wrong. ‘ I hadn’t oughtto have
gone in with Cass Fendrick. He want-
ed me to kill you, but I wouldn’t”

With that unwinking gaze the ranch-
man beat down" his lies, while fear

 

7 dripped in perspiration from the pallid

face of the prisoner

Bucky had let Cullison take the cen—
ter of the stage. He had observed a
growing distress mount and ride the
victim. Now he stepped in to save the
man with an alternative at which
Blackwell might be expected not to
snatch eagerly perhaps, but at least to
be driven toward.

“This man is my prisoner, Mr. Culli-
son. From what I can make out you
ought to strip his hide off and hang it
up to dry. But I’ve got first call on
him. If he comes through with the
truth about the W. & S. Express rob-
bery, I’ve got to protect him.”

Luck understood the ranger. They
were both working toward the same
end. The immediate punishment of this
criminal was not the important issue.

, It was merely a club with which to

,beat him into submission, and at that

a moral rather than. a physical one.

But the owner of the Circle C knew

;, better than to yield to Bucky too eas-
fly. He fought the pointaout with him

Bucky rose. “Allrright. If you can’t

turned to the cattlemafn. “Mr. Cullison,

“No. That’s all right, Bucky. Don’t

haps it was not by chance that his eye
wandered to a blacksnake whip hang-
ing on the wall. 4

he pleaded.

hack. I wouldn’t think of saying
bye——not till we reach Yum

With that the door closed behind
him. Blackwell cried out, hurriedly,
eagerly. “Mister O’Connor!”

Budky’s head reappeared. “What!
Have you reduced me to the ranks al-
ready? I was looking to be a general
by the time I got back,” he complained
whimsically. '

“I—I’ll tell you ” everything—every
last thing. Mr. Cullison—he’s aiming
to kill me as soon as you’ve gone.”

“I’ve no time to fool away, Blackwell.

I’m hungry. If you mean business get
to it. But remember that whatever
you say will be used—against you”,
' “I’ll‘ tell you any dog-gonad thing
you want to know. You’ve got me beat.
I'm plumb wore out—sick. A man
can’t stand everything.”

O’Connor came in and closed the
door. “Let's have it, then—the whole

I’ll be

ning to the end. "

“Lemme sit down, Captain. I’m aw-

the hills I’ve been under-fed ”

“Sit down There’s a good dinner
waiting for you at Clune’s when you
get through. " \

Even then, though he must have ,

known that lies could not- avail, the
man sprinkled his story with them.
The residuum of truth that remained
after these. had been—sifted out was
something like this. ’ "

He had found on the street a letter
that had inadvertently been dropped.
It was to Jordan of the Cattlemen’s
National Bank, and it notified him that

$20,000 was: to be shipped to him by.
the W. & 8. Express Company on the ;
, night of the robbery. Blackwell re—_

solVed to have a try for it. He hung

j around the office until the manager

I want it all: how you came to

had been quite deserted at the time

_ed with no chance Of a denial.
Fendrick, Who had heard the shout-

f mg of the men locked in the. express

otl‘lce, stopped. the robber, but Black-
well broke away and ran dawn the al-

ley. The sheepman followed and caught ;‘
him. After another scuffle the convict"

again hammered himself free, but left

behind the hand satchel containing the

spoils. Fendrick (so he later explain—
ed to Blackwell) tied a. cord to the
handle of the bag and dropped it down
the chute of a laundry in such a way

that it could later be drawnup. Then _,

he hurried back to the express oflice
and released the prisoners. After the
excitement had subsided; he had re-
turned for, the money and hid it.
original robber did not know where.
Blackwell’s second meeting with the
sheepman had been almost as startling
as the first. ”Cass had run into the
Jack of Hearts'in time to save the life

of his enemy. The two men reCOgniz:

ed each other and entered into a com-
pact to abduct ClllllSOIl for his share
in which the older man was paid one
thousand dollars. The Mexican Domin-
guez had later appeared on the scene,
had helped guard the owner of the Cir-
cle C, and had assisted in taking him
to the hut in the Rincons where he had
been secreted.

Both men asked the same question
as soon as he had finished.

“Where is the money you got from
the raid on the W. & S. office?” ‘

"Don’t know. I’ve been at Fendrick
ever since to tell me. He’s got it salt-
ed somewhe1e.You‘Ie fixing to put

me behind the ham, and he’s the man

that really stole it.”

From. this they could not shake him.
He stuck to it vindictively. for plainly
his malice against the sheepman was
g1 eat The latter had spoiled his coup,
robbed him of its fruits, and now was
letting him go to prison. .

\“I Ieckon we’d better haVe a talk

with Case,” Bucky suggested in a low "

voice to the former sheriff.
. Luck laughed significantly.
we find him.” ‘ ‘

For the sheepman had got out on
hail the morning after his arrest.

“.We’ll find him easily enough. And
I rather think he’ll have a. good expla-
nation, even if this fellow’s story is
true.”

“Oh, he’ll be loaded with explana~
tions. I don’t doubt that for a minute

But it will take a lot (If talk to get
away from the facts. I’ve got him
where I want him now, and I'll make
him squeal before the finish.”

“Oh, well, you’re prejudiced," Bucky
told him with an amiable smile.

“Course I am; prejudiced as

llWhen

old

Wall-eyed Rogers was against the vigr

ilantes for hanging him on account of

dices all the same. We’ll see I’m right,

P. J. Parrott, entomologist of the Gen-
eva Experiment Station, in which he
said the delayed dormant spray was
not a cureall for all ills of apple trees.
Much burning of foliage is due to fail-
ure to spray thoroughly and intelligent-
ly. He said he liked the spray gun be-
cause of its convenience. He also said
that apple leaf hopper, an important
pest of potatoes, is the cause of tip:
burn, and can be controlled by Bor-
deaux mixture and the arsenatos.

President G. C. Creelman, of the

Canada, in an address on reorganizing
agriculture, said that the farmer is too
slow in .a business way. He lacks faith
in his soil. He willnot spend $10 to
make $20. He advised the farmers to
adopt an accounting system which will
enable them to keep track of their bus-
iness, as other business men do.

a may,

. ' 2 iBy E.--"L. Vincent

FEW years ago we were fixing

up the cellar wall of our farm

house, and wanted some good,
sound, solid stones for the undérpin~
ning. For some time we had had our
eyes on a, ledge of rock in a gully away
up on the hill, and now we opened the
little quarry up? I never saw finer
stones'tlhan most of them were. With
a drill I had made, and a hammer, I
put holes into the solid rock and then
with plugs and feathers, as they are
called, I split off blocks with an almost
perfect edge, clear, blue, sound and
beautiful. '

While working at that we came
across some thin, flat stones in-the bed
'of the creek and lifted some of them
out, thinking they would be fine for
flagging or for walks about the’ house.
One of these we did not get down the
same‘season we quarried it, but left it
out on the bank and turned on edge to
wait a more convenient time.

Winter had passed before we went
to see the stone again. It looked sound

’ and good when we last left it; but now

it was split and shivered into layers so
thin and brittle that what we had be—
lieved to be a splendid ‘flagging stone
was fit for nothing. You know what
had happened. Rain had found its way
into some tiny crevices in the upper
edge of the stone. 'Old Jack Frost got
busy, for he saw an opportunity to have
some fun. He boosted with his power-
ful shoulders deep down In the heart
of that stone and kept working away
until he had ruined the stone and spoil-

ed our plans into the bargain. I do

not know when I‘have been more sur-
prised than ‘I was to see.the wreck a
little bit of water, turned into frost,
had wrought, and all because (of a few»
tiny cracks in the stone not'as thick
as the blade of a knife. Scarcely can
we believe it, but it is true. Somehow

' in the days when the stone was in the

making, something happened so that it
was not as perfect as the blue stone I
saved for the foundation 'of my house.

When life is in the making is the
time to look out for flaws that may by
and by work havoc with success, hap-
piness and all that we hold dear. One'
of the crevices into which failure may

creep is putting off doing the things,

that should be done now. Have you
never said when asked to do any given
thing, “Wait a. few minutes?” Look
out for that flaw. Frost may get in
there and tear down What might be
otherwise a fine chararter.

Another of these tiny openings
through which trouble finds its way in-
to the heart life is the habit of read-
ing books that do not leave a good

- taste in one’s mouth. Some things we

can forget, but bad books stick. I
heard a man in the great Bowery
Mission in New Ybi‘k say before a
meeting of down-and~out men: “If I
only could forget!" and; tears were in

  
    
 
 

 

his eyes and sorrow in every tone of, , '
his voice, Never touch a bad book. '
Fling it in the fire rather than let. it.

leave its stain on your souls

Again, shut every avenue of the life‘

against association with fellows who
steal, swear, loaf around and brag 0f
base things they have done. Better go

down in the. yard and makeyfriends ‘

with the old horses or the cows. They
will help you to be better and more

kind. If you‘love them, they will love ,

you back again. But a companion that
has every earmark of being a sneak is
Worse than a serpent: The poison from
his heart will surely get into your life
and ruin you.
' “The old man!” “The old woman!"
Ever hear any fellow say. that of his
father and mother? Did it not make
your very soul rise up in indignation
when you first heard it? Your fist no
doubt doubled up and you were tempt—
ed to strike the boy who had so low a.
regard for those who have done so
much for him. It is a good time to say,
“That is no way to speak of your fath-
er and mother! Say that again and I
am done with you!” And say it as if
you mean it, too. And keep your word
if the shameful words are repeated,
for any young man who keeps up being
disrespectful to his parents will some
day find his life shattered and broken
like the stone spoiled by the frost.
Finally, every time you see some
body in trouble, help him out. Not to
do so, but to turn away thinking, “It is
no business of mine,”_ isto open wider
the crevice in the character for the en-
trance of selfishness andlack of regard
for the feelings of others. There is no
more sure way to build up a, life that
will ‘win than to be good and kind and
true in every spot and place. It may
be we' will have good success in busi—
ness and make a great deal of money.
Money is good if- we put it to good use.
But the money is not what brings hap—
piness or peace of mind. It is what we

do with it. The World needs a great.

deal of money, but it needs most of all
good men to handle that money.

Look out for flaws in your life. Keep
true and clean and sound in word,
thought and speech and you can’t help
Winning.

 

A VALENTIME PARTY.

 

BY L. M. THORNTON.

PRETTY centrepiece for a Valen‘
itine table is made by covering a
toy chair such as can be secured from
ten-cent stores, with pink crepe paper
and enthroning in it a Kewpie doll
with a. quiver and darts over his shoul-
der. ‘Bank the chair with pink hya—
cinths and festoon the . chandelier

. . "them the shape of peach blossoms.
; When an elaborate menu is not de- .
,sir-ed serve heart- shaped sandwiches,
’ small heart-shaped cakes with pink
frosting, and pink ices. A clever
scheme for spending the hour follow-
ing dinner is to have as many narrow
pink ribbons leading £10m the Kewpie
doll as there are guests. -As each
leaves the table he or she follows one
of the 1ibbons and somewhere at its
end, up stairs or down stairs, or even
in the cellar, is found a tiny pink en-
velope with a wee caid inside it tell-
ing what he or she must do to enter-
“ tain the company when recalled to the
5‘ living-room by the ringing of a bell. If
the musical girl 1eceives a command
to dance, and the literary one to serve
punch from the big bowl in the center
of the tattle, she may be somewhat
tiouble'd until she learns that misery
is to have company, 1'01 the bashful
boy must kiss the prettiest girl in the
100m, and the loquacious one must
keep pe1 fectly still for fifteen minutes.
After all have assembled, however,
there comes the good neWS that five
minutes will be given for “trading
tasks,” and the exchanges, or attempts
at exchanging, result in almost as
much pleasure as the program given
later.

CALVES GIVEN TO HELP BOYS’
AND GIRLS’ CLUBS.

“W‘s-1 W ._. 1‘"

 

. SIXTEEN members of the Winne-
' bago County Holstein Breeders’ As-
sociation have each ag1eed to donate a
purebred Holstein heife1 calf to the
l 2 Boys’ and Girls’ Calf Club movement
. in the County. Clubs me now being
} organized through the countiy schools,
and a calf Will go to the school in each
township which has the laigest num-
ber of entries of purebred Holsteins,
according to G. A. Sell, county agent.

In each town the prize calf will be
offered at public auction, and sales will
be in most cases a semi-social event
celebrating the close of the contest.
The returns from the sales, which will
aggregate well over $2,000, will be at
the disposal of the pupils of the win-
ning schools under the direction only
of the teachers and. the county super-
intendent of schools. '

These contests will be open to Jer-
seys and Guernseys as well as Hol-
steins. These various activities are
planned in the hope that the number
of calf club members will be much
greater this year than last year. Last
year there were one hundred boys and
giils enrolled and the mom optimistic
believe that the numbe1 W111 be neally
three hundred this year.

 

 

DU ROC‘ BREEDERS PUSH PIG CLUB
WORK.

  

 

   

 

 

 

ILLINOIS breeders of Duroc-Jersey
swine outlined a program recently
for pushingnthe breed in the state, to
which about $10,000 was subscribed to
be spent largely in pig club work. More
enthusiasm prevailed than at any re—
cent gathering of the red hog men.

A public sale will be held in March
to which breedeis will contribute bred
sows, and the proceeds will be used
to finance the work outlined. The
meeting was held at Peoria at the offi-
ces of the National Duroc-Jersey Rec-
ord and Was attended by about one
hundred breeders.

The officers and executive commit-
tee will employ an experienced man
as soon as possible to carry on the
work outlined. It will be principally
to put Dumc pigs in the hands of boys
and girls daing pig club work.

Study Ways to Make Time

’D like to do it if I could only get woman than the extra steps. If you

Iztime." How many times in the

course of a week do you say that?
It doesn’t matter who you are, house-
keeper, teacher, pupil, or man of the
house, there is always something you
want to do, but never seem to have
the time for.

And yet- how many useless things we
do. Things we don’t care a fig about
doing, perhaps actually rebel against
while we do them. But custom or con-
vention or the family or the neighbors
expect them of us, so we conform.

What we all need is a full realization
of the value of five minutes, plus the
ability to distinguish essentials. You,
home-maker, want time to read a good
magazine. One which will help you
with your home problems and at the
same time keep you in touch with the
things which are going on in the world.
But you never get a minute’s time to
read. Did you ever try to plan for
that time? Have you ever seriously
stopped to consider how many things
you do in the course of a day that
could just as well be omitted with no
inconvenience to the family, and with.
out affecting their health or happiness?

Do you know by actually watching
the clock how many minutes it takes
you to dry the dishes? Have you ever
timed yourself to see‘ how long it takes
to‘make the beds? Do. you know to a
minute how long it takes to roll and
cut a batch of cookies? Do you know
which takes longer- to make, cookies
or doughnuts?

Taking the aver ge family as one 01
five, you could save at least ten min-
utes three times a day by omitting dry-
ing dishes. Simply rinse in scalding
water and stand on edge to drain.
There is a half hour for reading or
piano practice or drawmg, or perhaps
for studying up on bee—keeping or poul-

try methods. A half hour every day’

means three hours a week. If you
make drop cookies :you save at least
twenty minutes more every time you
bake. Cooking potatoes in the jackets
saves you another ten minutes, and,
better still, saves to your family the
valuable food elements directly under
the potato skin which you cut off and
throw away.

You save time when you plan to
save steps. How many steps do you
take from cupboard to table every time
you get a meal? A kitchen wagon, on
which youecan put everything except
the food that is cooking, would save
five or ten minutes every time you set

the table. Lacking the table, a large

tray helps, though a heavily loaded
tray is sometimes harder on a frail

 

 

a.

can’t even afford the tray, use the cov-
er to your boiler, or a lard can cover.
A number cf little things could be car-
ried in at one time on a pail cover.

‘If you have small children you can
save time by training them to wait on
themselves. And they Will, just love
to do it._ Haven’t you noticed how
proud the tiniest youngster is the first
time he learns to do some little thing
which has always been done for him?
Don’t take the time to get even the
two—year-old a drink. Tell him to climb
up on a chair and get it for himself."
He may have trouble the first time,
but the earlier he learns self-reliance,
the better it is for him and for" you.
Let them dress themselves as soon as
possible. Make little underwaists to
button down the front-so they can but-
ton and unbutton their own clothes.
Many of the rompers now made button
in front, so lean to that style when
you buy.

Have a system in housekeeping.
Plan to do certain things on certain
days, and, as a rule, stick to your
schedule. Don’t be one of the house-
keepers who wash on Monday one
week, on Wednesday the next, and Sat-
urday afternoon. the third week. Do
the things which take most thought
and strength early in the' day. You are
freshest in the morning, therefore do
the exacting things then. Leave less
essential tasks until later.

Above all, study the clock, and your
own work. Time yourself at every-
thing you do, and then see it you can’t
think of a way to do the work in less
time and with fewer motions. There
are just twenty-four hours in every
day. You need eight of them, at least,
for sleep. That leaves only sixteen
hours for everything you want to do,
‘which is little enough in these strenu-
ous times. So if you want time to read
or study or play, it is up ,to you to
make it.

WASHING WITH A MACHINE.

NE frequently hears a woman ob-

ject to a washing machine on the
ground .that “nothing makes clothes
look so nice as the good old way.” It
must be admitted that the clothes turn-
ed out by some machines rather justi-
‘fies such a claim, but they can be made
to look as well, and better, with the
machine,if you go about it right.

The reason so many machine-done
washings do not look well, is that the
same methods are employed with the
machine as are used when we wash
“by hand.” Remember that with the

V Who Says the Price of Eggs!

HILE ninety-cent eggs are put-

V» ting wrinkles in the brows of
urbanites these wintry days,

there are at least four hundred women
in Michigan who are not planning a
t i boycott to bring down the prices. These
'3 j are the members of the twenty-two
5 _ poultry clubs in the state, organized
i ' " during the past year by Miss Annabel
i ' Campbell, poultry specialist who is
i sent out from the Michigan Agricul—
; ‘ tural College. Recognizing that women
J ‘ have charge of the poultry flocks on
the majority of farms, the poultry de-

partment of the college decided to send

out a. woman specialist to assist the

. owners of flocks in their efforts to in-

crease the income derived from their
} birds.

no agent. If a rural club already exists

' and it seems unwise to start another.

i the work is often carried on through

. the existing organization. Each club

‘ _ of whom are to act as president and

lects the place of meeting, notifies club

members of meetings and acts as chair-

man. The secretary-treasurer performs

the usual duties of such office, while

the leader receives from the special-
. ists the monthly record blanks, distrib-
utes them to members, and at the end
of the month makes out a report for
the specialistfrom the filled-in cards

number of eggs sold and used and theiri
value, the meat sold and consumed,
the number of eggs set and hatched
and the number of chicks in the flock.
By means of this the owner of a flock
can know positively whether or not the
flock pays.

While the clubs aim to place better
stock on the farm the first year’s work
concerns itself largely with utility
birds. Later, if the owners desire,
the<e birds may be replaced by pure-
breds. There are to be six meetings
each year, two months apart, and when-
ever possible the specialist will be

present at these meetings. At all times '

she furnishes outlines for study, liter.
ature and references, and will assist
the members in securing new Stock
whenever they desire. Members are
at liberty to ask her advice on build-
ing up their special flocks.

The subjects for study the first year i

are all practical. They include the gen-
eral health of the flocltwsanitation of
house and grounds, symptoms of dis-
ease, treatment of disease. elimination
of mites and lice, incubation and brood-

ing-natural and artificial; marketing .

-——grading and packing of eggs and
preparation of flesh for market; study
of compounding rations and best types
of pOultry houses; culling. Every mem-

 

ber of the club may have her flock;

culled, the aim being to give each
member sufficient knowledge to enable
her to cull her own flock.

A canning demonstration is also
planned for the first year. Canning
the surplus cockerels and culled hens
and pullets seems to offer the best so-
lution of getting rid of these birds. It
gives space for the productive fowls,
eliminates the cost of feeding them,
and lays up a store of meat for the
housewife to have on her emergency
shelf.

The second year’s work is more gen-
eral. It includes a study of the his-
tory of breeds, study of standard, Visit
to a fair or poultry Show so that breeds
may be studied and a study of six spe-
cial breeds selected by members". ,

The first club formed was in Alpine
township, twelve miles from Grand.
Rapids in Kent county. Nineteen Wom-'
en made up this flourishing club and
each one secured from one’to three
settings of eggs from the Agricultural
College. Barred Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds and White Leghorns were popu-
lar choice. Most of the members have
built up their flocks from this start so
that this club, which met first with
Mrs. Allen, is peculiarly a college club.

In addition to boasting the first club
ever formed, Kent county claims the
club, which is famous for-its fine tur—
keys. This is the Chase. Lake "Club,
near Ada, which was organized'in the
spring: of 1918 by gums-”Clara. 'V'Rogers.

-~ E women would not'have” dared
to mention it beforevthe road
bonds carried, but,now we con-

fess our main reason for 'voting “yes”
was that we knew that ultimately good

schools because good roadswill elim-
inate one great objection to the cen»
tralized school—namely, the transpor-
tation of children to and from schOol.
Julius Bernard Arp, in his book on
“The Consolidated School,” says: “In
a land of freedom which boasts of
equal opportunity for all it is unthink-
able that any pronounced and abiding
privileges shall be enjoyed by one class
of citizens and denied to another class.”
Yet we all know that the educational
advantages of the urban child has in
no way kept pace with that of the city
child. ~
There are many reasons for this.
Our forefathers coming into the wil-
derness first built their house and the
next consideration was the school
house. We boasted of being the first
nation to place a school within the
reach of every boy and girl. While the
pioneer’s school was not conducted on
psychological principles nor the build-
ings erected with a regard to the laws
of sanitation, many men and women
were strengthened, both physically
and 'mentally, for the battles of life in
that school of the pioneer, and a cera
tain national pride and sentiment clus-
ters about the “little red school house.”
Now we must come into the knowledge
that the' one-room rural school has out-
lived its usefulness. The constant ad
dition of branches to the school curric-
ulum has made it impossible to accom-
plish the work required in the time
given to do it. No matter what train-
ing you give a teacher, she cannot in-
struct the twenty or thirty classes of
the rural school and do it properly in

' the time she has. Only tweIVe in ev-

ery hundred of the pupil-s who enter
the rural schools in Michigan ever fin—
ish high school. The present day one-
room school gives no time for voca-
tional training and that is the chief
reason why so few of the rural chil-
dren finish school.

In Minnesota and Ohio where cen-
tralization has been established for
several years, results show without ex-
ception, hdouble thenumber of pupils
completing the course than under the
old one-room system.

Those who oppose the centralization
plan must not be led into the mistaken
belief that the work of .the centralized
school will be laid out along the plan
of the city school and that pupils will
be educated as infthe past, away from
the farm. This is not the intention.
Wherever the centralized school exists
it is the center of rural life. Centrali-
zation is based on the idea that the
chief aim of education is to best ad-
just the individual to his environment.
All technical subjects are re-directed
and made more applicable to farm life.
By introducing agriculture, manual
training, domestic science and art, and
household management, farm lifé is
made "attractive, children » stay in’.
school longer and the‘city has no at-
tractidns for them. Nature study, Cit-‘
izenship, hygiene, arithmetic and his-
tory are vitalized and not committed to
memory from bone-dry books."

We'might Write pages on the advan-

‘ tages of centralization. - We Wish. this

thing might be. presented to the men
and women of the farms in all its de-

' tail. Both state and national: bulletins
on the subject are available: . ’ ~ ‘

more than sickles, sewing, machines 2
“cost more than needles,- automobilesn‘

Cost more thah the old ox team and.

wagon; yet we do not criticize the use"

of‘th’e grainbinder because it reduces-
the cost of production of a bushel of‘

wheat. The initial cost of a. centraliz- _

ed ,school building and equipment is,
greater than that of the one-room
school, but the annual cost per pupil is
less in the centralized school and the.
benefits are increased by one thousand
per cent. Anything that tends to in-
crease taxes meets with determined

opposition. In olden times taxes "meant ‘

a tribute paid to rulers and other priv--
ileged classes by masses for which the
payer received no benefits. Taxes cease
to be a’burden when the ben'eflts ac-
cruing are proportionate to the amount
paid. Administration of government
ahd school affairs must be efficient. It
cost the United States $500,000,000 for
elementary schools in 1914. In the

same year, we paid $1,200,000,000 for"

cigars, cigarettes and tobacco. Rural
school taxes under the present system
are a. burden in communities where
cash returns from land is low and
where per capita wealth is low. Chil—
dren in these districts are deprived of
even a good one-room school. The cen-
tralization plan eliminatesfihis by ex-
changing a local system of school sup-
port for a state-wide system. State aid
is given and later on in the course,
federal aid to communities meeting
only reasonable requirements ‘for an
efficient school so that in the end in
communities where school taxes are

most burdensome under the old system.

they are reduced under the centraliza-
tion plan. '

The second objection is diliicultyjn
the transportation of . pupils to and

from school. Good roads have eliml-.
nated this objection. Routes are laid.

out so no child shall ride more than
six miles. Drivers are chosen with
care. No unbecoming— language or be.
havior on the part of children in tran-

sit or drivers are permitted. In severe

weather buses are artificially heated,
children arrive at school fresh and
ready for work, and arrive on time.

Within the next few years Michigan.

men and women of the farms will have-

an opportunity to accept or reject cen-
tralization. Centralization is best from
all viewpoints. It has been tried out.

The question is whether you censider‘

your boy or girl worthy of the educa»
tional advantages that his city cousin
has. .

humidity A room properly humidi-

figfle'd requires much less fuel to main‘“
tam its temperature than a dry room.i

‘ A room heated to 650.with_ inSt air"
is more comfortable than a'room heat-
‘ ed with dry air to a temperature of
. 700 . The reason is that air which is!
too dry interferes with the normal rad~
\iation of the body. Many people find

it necessary to heat their rooms to 750

or 800 simply because the humidity of'

the air is considerably below what it
should be.

When the air in a room is so dry

that it warps books and the furniture
begins to dry out, it is entirely too’ dry
for the health of the occupants.

.If your heating system does not pro-
maintaining proper
humidity of the air in the room, it is
necessary to use pans of water in
order to evaporate sufficient moisture.
Wicks or cloths dropped into the pans
and extending over the edge 01' over
a cross-piece on the pan accelerate the
evaporation. It takes a little time and
trouble to keep the. pans filled, but
freedom from colds and generally bet—

ter health more than repay the effort:

the sake of comfort, no less than econ-‘

omy of fuel, the air in the room must
contain sufficient moistuie.

If your heating system provides a
means of humidifying the air at the
same time it heats it, it will not be ne-
cessary to place pans of water with
wicks in various parts10f the house.

In most warm air furnaces there is
a means for humidifying the air, and
the water pan must be kept fllled so
that at no time it will become dry.

With furnaces that» heat by the cir-'

culation of air currents, as some of
the pipeless furnaces do, it is easy to
maintain an even degree of.humidity
as well as of heat in every part of the
house from one central register.

With the winter just before us it is
well to keep these things in mind and
live scrupulously up to them, not only
for the saving of fuel, which is neces—

sary in view of the serious fuel situa- ‘

tion, but as a protection against colds,
influenza, and other illnesses which

are likely to follow if the air is not _

properly heated and humidified.

Many cottonseed feed interests elal

that fertilizer and commercial mixed»...
feed manufacturers .will continue up;

from these interests is enormous, but.
they, too, are making every effort to
depress values. And the commercial ‘
demand is largely for the. cheaper"
grades not desired by feeders. For the“.

of cottonseed feed prices is the pros-
pect and doubtless will materialize un-
less severe stormsare witnessed in the
west. Production of cottonseed cake
and meal thus far on the crop has been
considerably above a year ago.

. In the linseed feed market, restrict-
ed operations of plants by a lack of
fla'xseed has been a price sustaining
influence, Production of flaxseed in

I ’the United States in 1919 amounted to

only 8,919,000 bushels, about 5,000,000
bushels under the average for recent
years and one of the smallest yields on
record, and with serious scarcity of
cars, the present extreme shortage of
the product is not surprising. There?
is hope, however, that Argentine, which
is credited with a crop of 43,937,500
bushels, one of the largest in history
for that country, Will be a heavy ex-
porter to the United States and make»
up the domestic deficit. But the United
Kingdom will be a heavy importer of
Argentine flaxwed, and there is doubt
as to the prospects of a movement to
this country. A free movement of flax-1
seed to the United States would bear
values ’and force linseed feed prices
down. The current market for linseed
feed is around $82 a ton, for carlots at
Minneapolis, and about $2.00 to $3.00 a '
ton more in the feeding area to the
east. Feed for spot shipment is wantr
e'd, but there is an extreme lack of de-~
mand for thirty to sixty-day delivery.
Evidence of the easy position of the‘
market ’is the fact that linseed meal
for March shipment is available at'a
discount of about $5.00 a. ton under the
spot figure, around $77.50 to $78 .a ton.
Practically no export business is be-~
ing done in the linseed cake market.
and values are down to $72 a. ton, basis
seaboard points. Absence of. foreign

for meal in domestic channels.

First down, then up, with the price
movements in both directions very nar-
row and unimportant, describes the ac-
tion of bran markets. The situation
still appears bearish and as the season,
progresses the tendency of values
should be downward. For a. time in
the forepart of January values were
down to around $39 a ton for carlots
in the spring and winter wheat belt,
but current quotations show some
strengthening, the general market be-
ing around $41 to $42 a ton in Minne- .
apolis, $42.50 toi$43 in Chicago, $43 for
soft winter bran in St. Louis, and'
around $40 to $40.50 a ton for carlots,
in sacks, in Kansas City.‘ Compared;
with a month ago the market is about
$1.00 a. ton lower. Millers generally
are quite eager to book for forward de-
livery at current price levels, and of-
ferings for February and March shipv

cede soon, which is dependent to a con-
siderable extent on the action of car-

r'owing may be advisable. But there is
no need for haste in accumulating re-
quirements of the offal. Mill stocks
are believed to be‘large, and jobbing
interests have accumulated considera—
ble shorts.

While markets of the east are re-
ceiving comparatively small supplies
of hay, due, of course, to short produc-
tion of clover and other tame hay, the
west is loading alfalfa and other varie-
ties in record volume. Kansas City,
the largest hay market, has been re-
ceiving approximately four hundred
cars daily for some time, more than
half of which is made up of alfalfa. In
spite of the enormous movement of a1«
falfa, prices, particularly- on the grades
desired by dairymen, display unusual

the east, north and south to easily ab—
sorb offerings. Dairymén of the east,
including many in Michigan, are im-
portant buyers, substituting this hay
for clover, of which there is an acute
shortage. A somewhat easier tone,
however, is evident in brown grades,
some offerings of which are at a dis-
count of as much as $14 a ton under
choice; the latter selling at a top of $38
a ton in Kansas City. To the feeders
other than dairymen, brown alfalfa is
selling at bargain prices and is a much
more attractive purchase than the fan-
cier grades demanded largely because
of color. It is improbable that the bet—
ter quality alfalfa will recede to any
extent, as the offerings of these grades
make up a rather small percentage of
the receipts. A continued heavy move-
ment is in prospect, weather condi-
tions having been excellent for loading.

January failed to witness the long
expected heavy corn movement to the
terminal markets, this being consider-
ed by many as ohe of the most import-
ant infiuences in the maintenance of
values for feedstuffs during the month.
But the grain trade is cautioning its
cus tomers’to “watch out for February.”
There is much corn to move, and as
soon as cars are available in sufficient
volume, a heavy movement will mate-
rialize. February usually Witnesses a
heavy run of corn, if not the peak of
loadings, and sharp price declines usu-
ally occur. Carlots of corn at this writ-
ing are bringing around $1.50 a bushel.
Lower values for the: leading coar‘e
grain will depress oats, the sorghum
grains, kafir and milo, and other grains.
Also, the bearish pressure will be ex-
tended to cottonseed and linseed cake
and meal, millfeeds and mixed feeds,
But the coarse grain is expected to
turn up in March or April, any de-
clines this month being looked upon as
temporary. Severe weather the re'
mainder of the winter in the ,West,
might offset the bearishness which
may come from easier corn prices, but
this is rather improbable.

An influence in feed and all other
markets which should be watched and
considered is the advancing interest
rate; on money and the efforts being

' Seeds,” Professor H. D. Hughes stated

that it'had never been the policy of
the. Iowa-Agronomy Department or Ex-
periment Association to participate in
the inspection and sale of seed. He
further stated that their method was
“To distribute to members of the asso-
ciation enough pure seed to sow one
acre to test against own varieties. The
individual being then left to draw his
conclusions and to increase and dis-
tribute seed as he desires. The asso-

publication on these tests.” .

This method started some animated
discussion which led to remarks'on the
relatibn of seed companies to Groplm-
provement Associations.- Parker, Kan-

.» sas; Champlin, South Dakota, Moore,

Wisconsin; Bull, Minnesota; Nicolson,
Michigan, gave their Views Which, boil-
ed down, indicated a general belief in
the necessity for followup work by as-
sociations after seed had been first dis-
tributed; and a willingness to cooper-

wish to assist in the distribution of ap-
proved varieties.

to form such an‘ organization with the
amendment that the name be “The

After some discussion C. P. Bull, of

Seed Improvement Associations, which
should each pay an annual fee of five
dollars to the International Associa—

HILE addressing the members of
\ the Remus Live Stock Shipping
Association at its annual meeting Sat-
urday, January 17, E .‘E: Compson,

Stock Association, asserted that well:
within the life of the older members

stock yards, would be a certainty. ‘
Elaborating upon the subject he told
that already the use of the truck train
from po1nts near Detroit has resulted ~'
in the setting apart of a portion of the ‘
yards, the building of special chutes -
and a big driveway for the truck to
maneuver'in while at the yards. As at
present constituted Ithese trains are '
built to accommodate twelve. head of .
cattle on the truck itself, a trailer to'
accommolate twelve, head of swine
and another trailer loaded with calves

It seems doubtful that if Mr. Comp-g
son had made such an assertion five:
short years ago he could notyhave con-'i
tinued for the signs of disbelief, but'
Saturday his hearers did not hoot or
yell, rather they accepted it as a grim
reality. And it is. Five, ten years will
see the main highways in Michigan

FEW ”months ago when sheepnien

at .far lower» prices than those lately
«paid they would have been astounded ,

'i‘ii'iit had been possible to’peer into the
future and see fat lambs of the right
:tvefght selling readily on the Chicago
.rl‘na’rket for $9.75 per 100 pounds, while
feeders were bringing-as high as $7.75
for lambs on the high-class shearing
forder requiring "only a short finish. ‘It
is'simply a 'case of meager offerings
dust at a time when the popular taste
for lamb .and’mutton is unusually
strong. It turns out that feeding in
the sheep states where the practice is
especially large has been carried on
much. less extensively this winter than
was at first reported, and supplies are
now greatly-short. Prices are far high-
er than ever before in the midwinter
period, and even ordinary lambs and
sheep are selling extremely high. The
best lambs were selling one year ago
at $7.50, and that was lookd uponxas
avery high price. Three years ago
$14.15 was paid for the best lambs,
four years ago the stop stood at $10.90
and eight years ago at $7.40. Not a
great many feeders are being market-
ed, nor are there many breeders offer-
ed on the market. There is a range of
about $7 per 100 pounds between top
lambs and top sheep prices, the spread
having been as much as $7.75 a few
weeks ago. Feeding districts are send
ing to market considerable pregnant
stock, but killers take most of it. The
export demand for fat stock has start-
ed up for the first time since 1916, but
not many suitable lots are being ship-
ped to market—F. , '

Cribbing.—-Is there any cure for crib-
bing? I have a horse that cribs and
would like to know if it is a disease or
only a habit. J. H. 0., Ashley, Mich—-
Crib-biting is a vice which when chron-
ic is incurable. Remove manger and
place it on floor. If he sucks wind,
buckle a strap around his neck and let
him wear it. -

Periodic 0phtha1mia.—One of my
best horses is troubled with moon eye
and I would like to know if this is a
curable ailment. F. C. M., Homer,
Mich—This is considered an incurable
disease. Dissolve 40 grs. of boric acid
and 40 grs. of borate of soda in one-

Quarter of a pint of water and apply to -

eyes twice daily.

,Kidney Stimulant—Worms.—Would
like to know how to keep a horse in
good conditiOn and what to give them
to make their kidneys act. I would
also like to know of a simple remedy
for worms in hogs. M. A. C.. Wayne
County.———Oats and mixed hay is the
best winter feed, grass and oats the
best summer feed, but of course, there
are many other kinds of rations which
can be fed to horses and they thrive
and do well. One part corn, two parts
oats, some wheat bran, corn fodder
and straw is fairly good winter food
for horses. Give horse 2 drs. acetate

experience,

the facts we have been telling dairymen and farmers about SCHUMACHER FEED, particularly as a
feed for, producing MAXIMUM MILK PRODUCTION and keeping cows in "fine fettlc”
throughout long milking periods, that it needs little additional comment. It tells what was fed—how fed
Bear in mind this was a grade cow 9 years old and no Special
cfiort was made to make a. record. It is INDISPUTABLE evidence that

SCHUMACHER rrsn

is a feed you cannot ailord to overlook. Check up your cows
—-your feed costs and see if they show a big yearly profit.
Start Now—feed SCHUMACHER FEED—not for a
week or a month, but for the entire lactation period of your
cows and you will feel as Mr. Soudcr does, THAT IT IS
“THE BEST FEED A DAIRY-MAN CAN FEED.”

SCHUMA CHER FEED AND

are IDEAL feeds for dairy cows. SCHUMACHER FEED

and BIG ‘

Reports of a reduced acreage of corn
in 1920, owing to dissatisfaction among
farmers, had a tendency to raise the
level of corn prices Saturday. The
present meagerness of supplies at the
leading terminals, 3. result of inability
of the railroads to move grain prompt-
ly, also had the tendency to raise val
ues, especially as this was the last day
for January shorts to fill contracts. To-
ward the windup of the day’s transac-
tions something of a‘flurry was wit-
nessed at Chicago, with last prices at
the highest level of the season. At
Detroit prices did not change. Wed-
nesday’s quotations are as follows:

The week has been featured by a.
comeback during the closing days in
the matter of export buying. The for—
eign buyers need oats and are not al-
lowing the cheapness of money to stand
in the way. Oats are scarce and buy-
ing has been artiw. The grain is want-
ed by local consumers and also by ex-

. porters. Present quotations on the De-
troit market are as follows:

I NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.

 

January 31. 1920-

Butter.-—The market for butter has
been sensitiye and irregular during the
past week. There has been a feeling
that we would shortly see materially
reduced prices and receivers have been
free \sellers. The main factor that is
causing the sensitive feeling is the for-
eign butter that is known to be head-
ed for this port. In fact, a Danish
steamer docked yesterday having
aboard 5,000 casks of Danish butter.
That butter will be ready for distribu-
tion by Tuesday, and we can expect
that the quotation on high-grade but-
ter will be materially affected by it.
Advices from butter-producing areas
indicated a very noticeable increase in
production. That factor also is one
that will cause a tendency toward low-
er prices. There is practically no new
export business, although there have
been some inquiries from England.
Much of the stock that was purchased
by foreign countries some time ago is
now being shipped as rapidly as ship-
ping space is available. During the
past week about one and one-half mil-
lion pounds of such butter have been
shipped. The price of butter has fluc-
tuated during the week and at present
is about one cent lower than a week
ago. Established Quotationsare: Ex.
tras, 630; higher “scoring than extras
6.31/2@64c; firsts 581/z@62c; seconds
55@58c.

Eggs—The quotation on most class.-
es of eggs has shown a decline this
week. That is due to the fact that the
market was bolstered up last week by
speculative activity as it was fi'gured
by speculators that this week would
see a shortage of eggs. On the con-
trary, receipts have been fully up to
average and the quality has been fair.
Quotations are as follows: Firsts 60
@63c; extra firsts 64@650; extras 66
@670.

Poultry—Considering the high val-
ues placed on poultry of all kinds and
the large receipts consumption has
been exceptionally high and prices
have advanced. The influenza epidem-
ic is without doubt responsible to some
degree for the increased demand for
poultry. Quotations are: Spring chicks
ens 32@35c; fowls 40@450; 01d roost-
ers 24c; turkeys 400; ducks 39@400;
geese 36612370.
