French, of Idaho, and in the senate by Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas. This is one of the few really important measures now pending in congress. Its pur— pose‘is indicated by its‘title, “to, prevent deceit and profiteer~ ing that result from the unrevealed presence of substitutes for virgin wool in woven fabrics purporting to contain wool and in garments or articles of apparel made therefrom.” The French “Truth in Fabric” bill provides that every man- ufacturer of woven fabrics purporting to contain wool, and of garments or apparel made therefrom, before being offered for. sale or for transportation in interstate commerce shall stamp or tag. the garment or article in such a way as to show plainly the percentage of virgin wool and other materials contained therein, and violations of this law are punishable by fines not exceeding five hundred dollars, or one year’s imprisonment for the first offense, and for each subsequent offense not less than ' ohe thhhsahd dollars or one year’s imprisonment or both fine and imprisonment in the diécretion of the court {The importation- of any woven fabric purporting ,to‘, con- tain wool which is not stamped according to the provisions of this law in interstate commerce is prohibited, with fines or imprisonment for both the consigner and receiver. The secretary of the treasury, the secretary of agriculture, and the secretary of commerce shall. make uniform rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of the act, and it shall be the duty of each district attorney to whom the sec— retary of agriculture or the secretary of commerce shall re- port any violation of the act, to cause appropriate proceedings: to be commenced and prosecuted in the proper courts of the United States for the enforcement of the law. Every manufacturer of woven fabrics purporting to con~ Lain wool, and of garments or articles of apparel manufactur— ed therefrom, whether in the United States or in foreign countries, who offers or intends to offer such, fabrics for sale in this country through interstate commerce, is required to secure a registration number from the secretary of commerce, who is given power to carry out the provisions of the act Fines are imposed for violations of this clause. The law provides that on the back of every yard of woven fabric purporting to contain wool, (Continued on page 404). - :- Ichm Farmer MWWee‘kly E3 1&3 001,7”sz The Lawrence Publishing Co.

AM bullish on our farm, feed lot and orchard products because the laborers in the cities to whom we , sell are getting more money than ever before and striking successfully for even higher wages.” In Michigan, and in other states as a common expression among farmers and stockmen and or- chardiSts. '7 ~ “Haven’t our customers in this coun» try got more money than ever before?” This is the way the farmers and stock- men and orchardists argue when dis- cussing the outlook tOr the markets for what they produce. When I hear a stockman or farmer expresthimself along these lines, I disagree because of one‘tremendously important exception. This exception is vital, extremely vital, to every Mich- igan farmer, every, Michigan business It’s not a mysterious exception. It is simply the foreign exchange situation. “Let the bankers worry about for- eign exchange,” is notan unusual re- mark from some farmers and stock- men Who are urged to consider that factor in their markets and in their business. This, by the way, also ap- plies to small merchants in towns and cities. I told a small merchant.the other day to consider the foreign ex- change situation in his buying plans, but he laughed. Every individual, whether a humble farm hand, the own- er of orchards and farms, and the feed- er or breeder of stock, as "well as. mer- . chants, should consider seriously the meaning of the foreign exchange de- pression. ' American 'farms and feed lots are catering not only to the consumers of the United-States. Europe is a great customer. Besides, the consumers here are nOt dependent for earnings solely on the United States. .‘This makes for- eign exchange rates, or the value of European money in the United States, very vital. As a result of the depression in for- eign exchange, it is stated that the for- eign demand. for American farm, live stock and orchard products is-seri0us- ly threatened. Europe has been the principal foreign buyer. The German mark, the standard of money in Ger-_ many, is worth only a cent today, com- pared with the normal par of 23.8 cents in American money. Even the English pound is worth only about $3.30 in the United States today, com- pared with the normal value of 34.86%. The French franc is worth only about six cents, compared with the normal par of 19.3 cents. - The Italian lire is worth only about five cents, against the normal par of 19.3 cents. Even Canadian currency in the United States is at a discount of about eighteen per . cent. ari A Volume might be written in ex- planatiOn of these serious shrinkages, the worst in history, in the value of European money, or currency. The simplest reason is that the Old World countries which— took part in the war issued such vast amounts of paper money without correspdndingly in- creasing their gold reserve that their paper marks, francs, lire and pounds are not equal to the pre—war values. Another reason is that these countries, having been destroying instead of pro- ducing, have been buying far more than years ago from the United States and other- countries and selling far less. They sent gold to this country and to other lands to offset the excess of their purchases and sales until their gold reserves were cut down to a dan- gerous point. As a result, they are not now shipping gold. In other words, they are not on a gold basis today. A noted statistician recently estimat- ed that the world has increased its paper money circulation since the war by seven hundred per cent, or as com- pared with the total in the year before Europe plunged into bloodshed, while the gold reserves have increased hard- ly fifty per cent. The great bulk of the increases in the paper money cir- culation has been in the Old World. The foreign exchange market is a market where bills or drafts are sold on foreign countries just as the domes- tic exchange market is a market where, for example, Chicago sells bills or drafts on New York or Buffalo for flour or butter shipped out of Michigan through millers and dairymen. With fai‘"more selling to Europe than buy- ing from her, the foreign exchange market in New York has been flooded with offerings of bills on England, France, Italy and Germany. The of- ferings have come from packers and many other exporters. The demand has come from the importers who bring goods from Europe. The supply has been greater than the demand. So foreign exchange rates, or the value of foreign currency, has declined, being, of course, stimulated downward by the poor gold reserve position of Europe. Foreign exchange is still extremely weak, despite the fact that recent re- cessions were sensational. More new loan levels are expected. With the German mark worth only a cent, the German who buys a pound of lard in the United States at twenty- five cents must pay“twenty-five marks'. Prior to the war, the German mark was worth 23.8 cents, so a. litt’e over a mark then paid for the'pound of lard that costs twenty-five marks" to- day. The Frenchman must pay about four francs for a pound of lard, against one and one-fourth francs for the same quantity when the French franc was at par in this country. The same com- Vcr and Foreign Exchange A Quanta” of Unuiua/ Imerést to tfle Farmers of MZCélgdfl-"By Sam/em ism/cilia, parisons may be made with eggs, fruit, and wheat and dozens of other prod- ucts. As the shrinkage in the value of the foreign currency increases the cost of American products in that currency to the European buyer, he finds it nec- essary to buy less and less here. This is the basis for the nervousness over the outlook for reduced foreign trade in farm and other products. It is one of the reasons for lower hogs, lower cattle, lower eggs and lower com. If Europe buys less food, more of our harvests will- be offered on our own markets, competition will be reduced, and prices will fall. With this brief outline of the mean- ing of foreign exchange depression to Michigan farmers, as well as to the producers of other states, it is well now to look into the volumes of busi- ness involved. One can gain a better idea of the significance of a reduction in foreign corrrpetiton for Amercan farm and feed lot products by compar- ing the export statist1cs of recent years. ‘ More has been said of thesadverse effect of depressed foreign exchange on the hog market than on any other farm product. Packers have recently issued pessimistic statements on the export trade in 110g products. Few farmers, it appears, are aware of the fact that the official figures of the De- partment of Commerce show that the United States exported in 1919 an ag- gregate of about 2,600,000,000 pounds of hog products alone, the largest total in history. This movement, which was largely to Europe represents the dress- ed weight Of over 14,000,000 live hogs. In 1913, the year before Europe plung- ed into war, the exports were equal to the product of about 600,000 live hogs. Prior to the European war the largest exports of hog products in a year were in 1898, when 1,723,564,071 pounds were exported. The beef exports in 1919 were over 270,000,000. pounds or the product of about 451,000 live cattle. In 1918 the beef exports were 699,000,000 pounds, the product of over 1,000,000 live cat- tle. In 1913 only 36,193,757 pounds of beef were exported, representing the product of about 60,000 live cattle. Pon- der these figures,, and you will gain an insight into one of the big reasons for the decline of about $4.00 per hundred weight in cattle prices in the past year. The combined meat and dairy prod- ucts exports in 1919 were valued at $1,160,847,000, compared with $941,219,- 000 in 1918. More than 265,000,000 bushels of wheat, including flour as wheat, were exported last year. Comparisons of the butter, cheese, milk, fruit, steel, copper and other ex- ports of the last few years with those of the pre-war years show immense increases. For example, the United States exported of farm and all other products in 1919 total quantities oili- cially valued at $7,922,000,000. The 1913 exports were only $2,484,018.000. In 1919 the imports to this country were $3,905,000,000, against $1,792,596, in 1913. iThe exports last year were the largest in history from the United States. They were responsible to a great degree for the high wages and scarcity of labor, as factories and farms ‘were kept busy supplying not only the American population, but the foreign buyers for goods worth bil- lions of dollars. The foreign exchange situation pre- sents another serious side. \Vhile the extreme cheapness of foreign currency discourages European buying, it is stimulating the sale of foreign goods to this country. A German who sells to the United States a steel knife for one dollar receives one hundred marks. Before the war one dollar in American money was worth only a little over four marks. The Frenchman who Sells laces or notions to the United States for one dollar receives about fifteen francs, against five francs before the war. \Vhat will be the consequences? Changes are not going to be witness- ed over-night, but Europe has already reduced purchases and will cut down more on her buying in the United States. And she will. as her indus— tries are restored, sell more and more foods to the United States. Reduced buying of 111anufactur1ng products by Europe will result in shorter hours for factories and less employment for lab- or. Wages will be affected unfavor- ably, as well as the demand for labor. This will reduce the present prOSper- ity of domestic customs-1's of farmers. With lessened foreign competition for American farm products, there will thus be pressure on markets from two sides—a weakened purchasing power of American consumers and larger of- ferings to these consumers because Europe is taking redumwl supplies. Europe has for many years been an extensive buyer of American farm products. This country is not going to lose all of its European business, but large decreases are in prospect. And more competition from European man- ufacturers and from a few fore1gn. farm products, but the articles they purchase will be lower in price. Furth- er granting of credits to Europe might stimulate buying by her for the pres- ent. In the end, however, Europe, be— ing already heavily in debt to us, must settle by buying less and selling more goods to America. She has not the gold required to pay her debts, so. must pay in goods. T/zz's Farmers” C/ué flay a Naiz'wm/ Reputation 1 mi: '9 (animus ,. .. timezone of the most progressive.

The defi- nite projects were made in the resolu- tions, in the form of a recommendation to the executive committee: The executive committee was in- structed to set up without delay a bus- iness organization, under direction of trained experts, and create bureaus or divisions as follows: 1. A bureau of transportation which will look into transportation matters to the end that we may secure rates on farm products _which shall be fair as compared with rates on other commodities, and which shall give to the farmers of the United States ocean rates which will enable him 1‘ compete on a fair basis with the farmers of other nations of the I world. 2. A bureau of trade relations which shall investigate our dealings with for- eign onuntries to the end that the in‘ terests of agriculture may be pro- , moted. ‘ 3. A bureau of distribution which 11111111 make a thorough study of the distribution of farm products. 4. A bureau of statistics which shall inquire into world conditions which in- fluence supply and demand, and which shall especially study the mechanics of prices. 5. A legislative bureau which shall have to do with matters of national legislation which affect farming and farmers. 6. A bureau cit" cooperation which will make a special study of coopera- tive methods which have been found to be successful both here and in other countries. and which will draw up standard forms for cooperative enter- prises cit various kinds and aid state federations to promote local coopera- tive enterprises on thoroughly safe and truly cooperative lines. Digest of Other Resolutions. The resolutions set forth in very definite terms a pledge ‘of full support to' the constitution of the United States, condemning radicals and reac- tionaries. increased production is essential to national well-being. We stand for higher individual elliciency. In deter- mining a compensation, we believe that the result of the day’s work, rath- er than the hours thereof should be of paramount importance. We pledge the farmers of America to the largest possible production con sistent "with good husbandry, with a view of relieving the world’s dire nec- essities and invite the workers of all other industries to join us in this spirit of service. We declare the strike no longer jus- . tifiable and no longer to be tolerated by a long suffeI mg public. We favor the mention of such a1bi< tration boards 01 cou1ts, with power and authority, to adjust controversies between labor and capital as shall safe guard the rights of the parties direct- ly interested, as well as the welfare of the general public. Realizing the need of trained work- ers and a healthy citizenship in all walks of life, we urge such general course of instruction of our young manhood as shall call attention to and give promise of relieving health 0013/- ditions throughout the country.

Waste breeds recklessness, a lack of responsibility, and is the -best aid to the profiteer whose 'se'lfishness knows no country and who has no regard for the rights of masses. We recommend legislation, provid- ing that the presence of all substitutes for virgin wool in fabrics and apparel purporting to contain wool, shall be made known. 1 We recommend that a committee “be appointed to' confer --wit=h the interna tional Revenue Department in Working out a simplified term for Income tax returns, for farmers. We definitely and er‘nphatically cp- pose the proposed legislation to levy a tax of one per cent on land holdings in excess of $10, 000. We demand «for agriculture, at the hands of state and national legislative bodies, the 111ivilege of collective bal- gaining. We insist that in all tariff legisla- tion, agriculture be given equal ow sideration with other industries. We wish the American people to definitely understand that the organi- zation self—styled “The Farmers" Na- tional Council,” has no authority to speak in behalf of the farmers of this country. Any and all efforts on the part of The Farme1s’ National Council to ally the ag1iculturists of America with the 1adicals in the industli'al world is here- in denounced. President’s ‘Message. President J. R. Howard made the following statements in his short ad- dress: The lands we are cultivating must continue to feed the people of the nation for all times. There are no new lands for us to take 11p. it means we must conserve and cultivate our soil better, must work out our busi- ness and economic problems and make farm life more attractive in the homes, schools and churches, We must make agriculture so attractive that it will appeal to. and build the best citizens. we are building an organization 'to do these things not only for our own good but to fulfill our obligation to society. ‘ Vice-president Strivings said: riculture must be made That must be part of our program to protect future production and agricul- ture. The vacant farm houses of New York and the crowded cities brings the-truth clearly before us. Not we alone will suffer if this condition is not brought about.

Every manufacturer of yarn purport- ing to, contain wool, is required to fill“ nish the purchaser a statement in writ- ing setting forth the content of such yarn. whether it contains virgin ‘wool, shoddy, cotton or silk,'and the percent- age of each. The term “virgin wool" is described as meaning wool that has never pre- viously been spun or Woven into cloth; the term "shoddy" includes any mate- rial obtained from clippings of cloth 1 or material that has been spun or wov- en into cloth. The secretary of the treasury. the secretary of agriculture and the secre- tary of commerce may cancel the reg- istration number of any manufacturer of yarn, woven fabric or garments pur- p0rting to contain wool, who neglects to comply with anyof the provisions of the act. Provisions are also made for condemning quantities of yarn. fall- ric or garments that are found to be misbmded, and disposing of them through the process of law._ This “Truth in Fabric" bill may not be the beat measure of the kind that can be drawn. but it has evidently . been very carefully drafted with the idea of covering every possible loop— hole that might render it ineffective in its purpose of preventing adulterated fabrics from being sold as pure virgin wool. Its provisions do not certify as to the quality of the fabrics. They merely require a true statement of their contents. The bill does not pro- tect the purchaser as to the quality of the wool, but it does protect him against the imposition of buying shod, dy underxthe belief that he is getting wool.

J. Hagen- barth, C. A. Tyler, F. S. King and oth- er well known sheep breeders are lead- ing officials, endorses the “Truth in Fabric” bill by saying that it “protects sound economic principles by ensuring that it will be the law of supply and demand. and not a group of fabric manufacturers that determine the ex- tent of the demand of both shoddy and virgin wool; and the price at which each will sell. With this law it is the people who will decide, and an unfair price cannot be charged for either vir- gin wool or shoddy because if too great a. price is charged for virgin wool thepeople will purchase shoddy, and if an unfair price is charged for shoddy. they will, of course, purchase virgin wool.” The bill has been referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House and to the Senate Committee on Commerce. Rep- resentative French tells me that he ex- pects hearings to be held upon it. within a few weeks. The congressional com- mittee having the bill in charge has also had the railroad bill in which the members have been so engrossed that it has not been able to have hearings upon the “Truth in Fabric” measure. Representative French also tells me that his bill has the very generous sup- port of the public, of the growers of wool and live stock throughout the country, and of many retailers and manufacturers who believe in putting their business upon a straightforward basis. It is now up to the sheep raisers to help Representative French and Sen- ator Cappér put'thés bill through. I am satisfied that these true friends of the farmers will do the best they can for its success. But it will no doubt, have opposition. Every state and coun- ty sheep and wool growers’ association will do well to give the bill their im- mediate attention. If after careful in- vestigation it'appeals to them as wor- thy of their supporbthey should get into touch with their congressmen and senators in regard to it, and especially with the men enathe committees that have the bill in charge.

Testimonials to this'eflieot were given "by C. ‘3. (Cook, (Monty Agricul- tural Agent for Oakland county. and R. A. Wiley, County Wmml Agent for Grand Traverse coimty. Muck and peat deposits represent large silos"filled with organic matter which mums has presented piou- than- sands of years and which can .‘be .utiil ized if the material is exposed to the air and the manor game are W to [decay the peat or muck. The “sickest and surest way to make muck and peat useful is "to compost it with ma- nure. Mr. Levin, in response to a question as to the value'of muck for fertilizer, replied that it has the value of an equal weight of straw, compared on ,a dry basis, and that when,usedas ;.a litter, absorbent to keep the manure E'heap thorn heating, to save liquid ma- . pure. and as a source of nitrogen, it is 9 bottom than straw. It was further stat- -:, ed that the chemical analysis is no in- ‘dicatison of the value of the peat or muck, since it gives no clue as to the ‘: finture availability of the nitrogen at"- iter it is cornposteqd The value of as mentioned. Mrs. R. Wyant, of the Department ,of Bacteriology, in discussing the j germs which make the nitrogen avail- ;able in muck, pointed out the two types of germs in the soil, those which . live without air and those which must have air. The germs which are con- cerned in making rock phosphate avail- able, were discussed briefly, as related .to an experiment in which peat, 111a ' =nm'e and rock phosphate were com- S posted. Dean Alfred Vivian Ohio State Uni- versity, gave an interesting talk on TCom-postlmg {in China and Japan. " lThe care with which the miental peo- 'ples conserve organic matter and the importance of the compost heap in this relation, were emphasised.

Such work would make muck lands highly productive soils. What themuck lands need more than anything «else is a stable, profitable system .ofrtruck tam management, and it is to this end that the college is working. ‘Mr. Levin announced that a. pamphlet on much farm management will be available soon.

He urged that the association take an active in~ terest in the protection of the farmer during the next session of the legis- lature. Mr. L. L.

He considers rolling of especial importance and al- so a light application ofzmanure, sup- plemented with acid phosphate, a good practice, the manure inoculating the muck with the bacteria, which hasten- ed the release of the nitgoen for plant use. He also mentioned the work which is being 'done in composting muck and more at the Traverse City Hospital, by which the y are increasing {the tons of manure to be applied on the upland. He called attention to the Name of soy beans and the excellent growth they make on muck; it was posted that soybeans make a good growth without the formation of nods ales, presumably using the nitrogen directly from the mine-k. Lewis Merriman, of Shellac county, after giving the best practices for the handling of, this type of soil, summed up «briefly by stating that rolling is the most important operation in the prop» or handling of much soils, because {1) it improves the water-holding capacity of the soil, and :(2) it has a. tendency otflm'rien, finds the. farms g P mp8 '4 \ This .

L. told us was going to plant sunflower seeds in ‘with his ensilage corn to increase the ltonnage per acre. Now I am sure I would like to hear what Mr. Lillie has to say in regard to his experiment with the sunflowers. , I would like to know whether horses eat this corn sunflow- er e’nsilage readily or not.- And is it easily cut with the cornbinder? I have always enjoyed reading Mr. Lil- lie’s articles in the past. If he has a failure with any particular crop he frankly says so. Will clover chaff do to pack ice in or not. That is, the clover straw as it comes from the huller. It is fine. ‘ Arenac Co. L. R. Some little time ago I stated in the Michigan Farmer. my experience with this sunflower silage. Undoubtedly, the inquirer missed this. The sunflowers made a wonderful growth. Some of them were more than ten feet high, with stalks as large as your forearm, and ll. would bother to get some of the heads into a bushel basket. lThey stood way above the sweet corn and, of course, were very noticeable to passersby. There were many inquiries as to the reason for planting them, what we were to do with them, etc. This combination of plants does not work very well in harvesting. The heads of the sunflowers were so heavy and the stalks were so long in compar- ison with the corn that they did not and install the modern, clean and efiicient hot water radiator heating with on ID AL—Arcola Radiator-Ballet in any room that has a chimney connection. bundles.

' I am frank to say that I am in doubt about planting more sunflowers with the corn just because of the difficulty in handling them. However, they in- crease the bulk of the silage very ma- terially and the cows eat the silage with an apparent relish. Everything o" Deal direct with our big cleaning mills in Chicago.

M. .If you have reason to believe that your cow aborted as a result of injury I believe that you will find it worth while to try and bring her up to nor- mal milk flow. If she is a good pro— ducer she will undoubtedly give enough milk during her milking period to : more than pay the cost of her feed. It _ is a case where one must consider the value of the cow against the chances of the same thing occurring again. W. M. K. DEVITALIZED CHICKS. Last spring at hatching time my hens were in fine condition. Eggs hatched fine. Chicks seemed strong until about eight weeks old, wl‘l'en their eyes looked wild and they could not go far without resting, but were most always ready for their feed. Af- ter about two weeks they would die with full crops. Please advise me what to do to prevent this ailment. Ottawa Co. A. M. We would think that the trouble with the chicks was due to weak vital- ity in the breeding stock, as the chicks you raised from the other stock prov. ed satisfactory. Plenty of exercise and green food are needed by breed~ ers. Inbreeding sometimes results in a weak vitality in the young stock. We would advise culling out all of the old breeders which have produced poor chicks and only using breeders from the new stock which grew rapidly and developed into vigorous birds. Then silage cutter. I anticipated that there ‘buy a cockerel occasionally and intro- duce new blood to improve the vigor of the flock. Weak chicks are often produced by overfat breeders confined on a small range. R. G. K. BALANCING A RATION. Will you please give us a balanced ration for milch cows? We have good silage with lots of corn in it, timothy hay, corn and cob meal. oats, barley and rye, and wheat straw. Cottonseed meal is $4 per hundred. Will it. pay to buy high-priced feed to balance the ration? Tuscola. Co. A. H. S. You could not compound an econom~ lcal ration out of the foodstuffs you have on hand and furnish a sufficient amount of protein so the cows would produce a maximum flow of milk. It would be impossible. Of course, your cows will keep in good flesh and will do fairly well on this ration if you feed them liberally but you can avoid the necessity of feeding so much on- silage, timothy hay, etc. If you will - procure a high protein food like oil meal or cottonseed meal, to mix with them. All of your roughage foods are deficient inprotein. If you had clover hay or alfalfa hay, it would make a big difference.

Then .lmmediately sow oats broadcast and cover with a barrow or preparethe land and drill them in with a grain ” drill. . ~ ’ I am not sure that I understand your question about the old orchard, but you surely can get no crop in this or- chard which is in June grass pasture, without plowing it. If .it. is a fairly good orchard it probably would not pay to plow it "in an attempt to grow a. crop. Many people would leave the orchard in grass, perhaps pasturing . hogs that were fed a good grain ration so as to fertilize the orchard. It is a question whether an old orchard which has lain in sod for a number of years should be plowed because you hre go~ ing to do some very severe root prun- ing, and I would'prefer to consult an orchard specialist. Of course, if you are not figuring upon getting a, crop of apples it might change the whole plan. C. C. L. MAPLE, SYRUP FOR EVERYBODY. BY WM. '1'. LANGLEY. OST of the articles on the mak- ing of maple syrup are of inter: est only to those Who have a large‘ number of trees. A great majority do not belong to that class. having from eight to fifty trees should save money by making maple syrup eVery year. The outfit is not expensive} Mine cost less than three dollars,.and from fifty trees the past two years we made twenty-one andseventeen gallons re~ , spectively of fine syrup for which we could have taken three dollars per gallon. ' ' , The first essential is a good sap epout._ Ours are made of steel, with . hooks on which to hang the sap cans. Insert these in holes bored on' the south side cf the trees about two feet from the: ground. Our sap pans were ’ secured from the local bakery, they , being gallon cans in which pi‘e mate: rial is packed. Near the top edge or each of these We punched a hole with a ten-penny nail to enable us to hang the pails on the spouts. This kept the receptacle up where the wind "would not blow the sap outside and waste it. ' For boiling we use a sheet steel pan five inches deep by 22x22 inches for our four-hole stove. If one has a six- hole stove a pan 22x32 inches is the proper size. Remove the lids and the other parts and set the pan on, fillmg it about onethlrd full of sap. At the , same time clean out‘the reservoir and fill it with sap to be heating-for re- ' plenishing the supply in the pan as“ it ._ boils down. . | I ' , Each m’orning strain the contents of the pan in a preserving kettle to fin- Ish 'off' by carefully boiling to the right .

There are fourteen cows in‘the herdsnd allotment are direct descendants or~ one. cow p'mchssed in 1910 for 3150. Ten years looks like a long time to plan ahead in the live stock business, but there many farm- ers can make starts this year which ' will he a great source of profit and sat. listactlon to them ten years from now. The writer recently visited hi the home of. a dairy farmer and another neighbor who also keeps cow's hap- pencil to be present. If a national lodge called the 'Loyal Order of Cow Keepers might be organized it could surely develop a substantial member- ship and the members would never lack for subjects to talk about. Hen fanciers, base ball bugs and tin lizzie owners are leaders among the conver- sational champions, but they can nev- i . c1- best the cow keepers when it comes to interesting talk about a very wor‘ thy subject. It surety pays dairymen to get together. It seems to do them llots of good. One dairyman in our section says it pays to let the cows out twice each day and give them warm water to drink. Then they. drink more water and it increases the flow of milk. He says that his cows drink better after eating but before they have had a chance to lie down and rest. Individual drinking cups have prov- cn practical on some dairy farms, the owners claiming that the cows drink more water when it is always before them. They take smaller drinks at more frequent intervaIs and in the ag- gregate the increased amount of water consumed causes an increase in the amount of milk. How many times each day do you milk the cows? Probably twice, and most farmers consider that is enough to keep them busy when combined with the reminder of the farm work. We know one dairyman who says that it often pays to milk. the cows three times each day for a short time after freshenlng it they are heavy milkens. Another farmer who went to the Na- tional Dairy Show at Chicago claims to have met an Illinois farmer who said he would always have his cows Dairyland Tales By R. G. Kirk); milked three times per day if he could obtain the necessary labor. Havever, he cannot hire the labor and his herd is only milked twice each clay. It pays to plan the barn very care- fully before starting the work at con- struction. Bad blunders ‘are a, daily annoyance for many years, and most of them can be avoided by careful Some dairy farmers have thought. _ tried storing feed in bins with the idea of having it flow down a chute when ”needed. Then they find that the feed is always clogging and has to be poked down with a long stick, which causes wasted time. Others use bins and shovel up the teen with a scoop and find the work done even, more quickly than with chutes. When finishing the barn always save any panes of surplus glass and store them for future use. A fine looking dairy barn can be seriously marred by one broken pane of glass, and it pays. to always have the repairs ready for. such work. Dairyrnen who have not received the last quarterly‘bulletin of the college experiment station, should drop a line to Dean Shaw at East Lansing. Here are some of the good articles in that bulletin that are worth reading: "Rec- ords of Dairy Production,” “Silage In- oculation,” “The Bull as a Carrier of Abortion Disease,” “Cooling Milk on the Farm,” “Cost of Milk Production in Livingston and Macomb Counties," and “Suggestions for Handling Cows on Yearly Tests.” One Guernsey breeder has found that a couple of barrels placed in the barnyard arefine exercising machines for the cattle during the winter. They enjoy shoving and rolling them around. There ought to be plenty of barrels in the country now that might be put to this laudable use where it is found practical. We recently met a breeder 01‘ pure- bred stock who started in .with one heifer, twenty acres of land, plenty of debts and a good disposition. He now has one hundred acres of land, and a. fine herd of cattle. He has earned it all by farming and is satisfied with the business.

If the spring pigs can be brought to a marketable weight before the market declines the best profit can be realized ;'however, this is more on less a gamble. There is a good deal of high~priced feed fed to the spring litters during the spring and early sum- mer and when the prices fall there is 'in many cases a loss 01' a very narrow maigin of profit. ' With the fall litte1s it is best for the pigs to come in September, but those that come later, even into the winter, can be profitably fitted for the market in the spring or later, While the prices are still high. One of the main points is to have good sews. They must be of the meat- producing type as well as the sire, not necessarily anything fancy, but of good, strong, robust constitutions, as near the perfect type as can be obtained. The sows should be kept in the best of condition from the time they are bred pigs will have a. good start when they are born. * The pigs must have a warm, dry place to sleep. Boards can be fasten— ed up on theii edges to enclose a pen six 01 eight inches deepin which the bedding can be placed. There should always be a good supply of. bedding furnished and it should be changed frequently. Plenty of these nests Should be made so that the pigs will not crowd too much and get overwarm; It is a very good plan to have an oiler, but a small amount of oil poured along their backs occasionally will keep their skin in good condition, as well as de- stroy any lice which may be present. “ It is by far the best plan to let the pigs feed themselves from self-feeders, the object being to keep them full of ‘ the right feeds at all times. As soon as the pigs begin to travel around be- fore they are Weaned they should have access to a. feeder with shelled corn, tankage and a mineral mixture, they will begin to eat these while they are .quite young. If skim-milk is available it will help materially to give them a goodstart. Water should be before them at all times. With this feed they will grow fast and will be nice and fat when ‘they are weaned, practically Weaning themselves. With this layer of fat on their bodies they are able to withstand the cold and will continue to make good gains throughout the winterand can be put on the market in the spring or early summer while the prices are still high. It costs more per hundredweight to raise fall pigs than spring pigs, due to the lack of pastures. However, this is offset by the higher prices. If care- ful attention is paid to all details, it is, in my estimation, profitable to raise fall pigs. During the winter one’s time is less expensive and more care‘and attention can be given.

They would banish themall from the earth, if it were in their power. That such a- pro- cedure would bring about a terrible catastrophe, we shall see later. The cause for this misconception is found in the fact that most people do not recognize different classes of mi- crobes. They call them all “germs,” or. more, colloquially still, “bugs,” and theyhold the entire group responsible for the misconduct of a. few of their members. Obviously, that is as unfair to the rest of the Species as it would be to us, if we were blamed for the crimes of the Bolsheviki. The story of the relation that exists between the activities of micro-organ- isms and the rest of the universe reads like a romance. Let us point out brief- ly, and in a very elementary way, those activities of the bacteria which have a direct bearing on our lives, and then show how their cessation would affect our existence. For our purposes, we may divide these organisms, arbitrar- ily, into five’ large classes. ’ The first of theSe to be considered are the pathogenic bacteria. it is this class that has brought the entire group into ill-repute. It is because of these .organisms that the man of the streets shudders whenever he hears the word lilllllllIllilliiIllllliIllllllllllllillllllllllllllilllllllillillllllilllllil|I||IilillIlllillllllllllill|lillllllllllllllllllllillllIllllillililllillllllllllIlllllllplllilllllllllllllllllllIlllIllllliillillllilllll mm m: sear"! . ‘A record book you will use every day.

BWNJW _ “bacteria.” That this class is worthy of our wholesome respect and fear, is not to ,be denied, for they are the cause of all of our infectious diseases and most of our dreaded maladies. Among these are typhoid, diphtheria, anthrax, glanders, leprosy, smallpox, tubercu- losis, yellow fever, malaria, pneum0n~ ia, influenza, erysipelas, infantile par- alysis, all forms of septicemia and py- emia, etc. These diseases take a tred mendous toll of human “lives every year, and if their casual“ agents could be destroyed, the average life-time of a inan would, no doubt, be increased considerably. In fact, with no infec~ tious disease to help him out, he might find it more and more necessary to lin- ger in this “vale~ of tears” until old age beckoned, unless, ,perchance, an "organic weakness or accident came to his rescue. But, of the many thou- sands of species of microbes found, only a relatively few species act as casual agents in the pathogenic proc- esses of man and animals. The oth- ers serve a much higher and more im- portant purpose in the scheme of life. Removing man from the land ”of the living could be taken care of by al- most any bolshevik. . ’ The second class of bacteriafi'which we shall consider in this connection is that class which is taking part in our industries. Man has employed them to do work that he himself can not do. As examples of these, we might men- tion the'tannin'g and “rotting” indus- tries. In' the transformation oi~ the “green” hides to presentable leather there is aprocess that can be accom- plished by microbes only. The same thing is true in the processes’whereby flax is changed into linen.

The death of all these organ- isms would, indeed, be a calamity. Gan you imagine the depth of feeling whilch would be called out it we were com- pelled to bid farewell to our old stand— bys—the spicy dill-pickle’,_ the savory saurkraut, and the odoriferous Limbur- ger cheese? For many people, life .would no longer beworth living. Find- ing a satisfactory substitute for bread and biltter would be a big task. . In the minds of some people. the Work which these fermentation mi- crobes do in the preparation of our beveragesis of still greater iniport¥ ance. It is true that they are directly responsible for all of our alcoholic and intoxicating drinks—cider, wine, beer. whiskey, brandy, etc. All of them me their peculiar qualities to. the action of microorganisms on the sugars of fruits and grains. The removal of these or ganisms would solve the “liquor prob lem” absolutely. Away would go an of them, and with them would also go vinegar, commercial alcohol, and acet- ic acid. The fourth class is made up of the putrefactive bacteria. These ‘little "fel- ' lows” act as the scavengers for the en- tire universe. They aitack and de- stroy, and restore to Its original ele- ments, all the waste matter which is found on the earth. They- prevent the accumulation of undesirable waste plant and animal matter and the re— leasing of reprehensible odors and gases. In our large filtration plants. where sewage is disposed of, the great- . est care is exercised in making condi- tions as favorable as possible for the growth of the bacteria, If all these putrefactive microbes should cease to exist there would be such an accumulation of undesirable matter that life would soon become unpleasan; and finally impossible. And” moreover, the elements that are used to make up this matter are limited in quantity, and there would soon be a, shortage of material with which to carry on the constructive processes of life, if these elements Were not restor- ed to the. cycle. . Now we come ,to the largest and most important class of bacteria, ac- cording to our arbitrary classification ——the soil bacteria. Several of the species of putrefactive'bacteria might be included in this division. The mem- bers of this division are the K. P.’s of the universe. The soil is their kitch- en and storehouse, and they labor in cessantly in the gathering and prepar- ation of food for the plants. Some are engaged in the mining of minerals, such as potash, phOSphorus, sulphur. iron, etc., and in“ the dissolving of them, in order that the plant may be able to take them up". Others are busily at ‘work in the task of reducing plant and animal tissue to such simple elements that the plant can ifie them to manu- ' They break the cellulose‘ substances up into car— bon dioxide, hydrogen, and methan gases. - They Seize the proteid combi- nations—and change them, through in; tricate proc'eSses, to simple nitrate el- ements?

Destroying the bacteria, we would destroy the plant world at the same time. Where would that leave us? We would soon cease to exist— nor would we linger till old5age called us. Such a condition would, indeed, be intolerable. / To sum up the. entire matter, let us see-what would happen if the wish of the majority of people were realized and all bacteria would disappear from the universe. Simultaneously with this disappearance, there would disappear all the infectious diseases which serve as excellent excuses for men’s dying young. Severalr of'our leading indus- tries would likewise disappear. Sub- stitutes for linen and leather would have to be devised, unless our habits of clothing underwent a very radical‘ change. Bread and butter. various kinds of cheese. pickles, and saurkraut would no longer grace our tables. They would exist only as tend memories of the past. The earth would become a vast dumping-ground, heaped high with waste material. But, worse than all this, life would be utterly impossible because the elements that are neces- sary for constructive activities would soon be exhausted, and, moreover, there would be no agencies in exist- ence that could prepare these elements in order that they could be used. Is it not fortunate that, in this case, the majority does not rule, but that it is left in the hands of the One who de- vised and created this universe? What is life without bacteria? Life without bacteria is an absolute impos- sibility. Let us, therefore, discrimi- nate between the different classes of micro-organisms and not, hold all re- sponsible for the evil deeds of one. Let us do all in our power to help eliminate the class of pathogenic mi} crobes and encourage the growth of the others. Occasionally, we may have to limit their activities a little, but let us give credit to those that deserve it -—our benefactors. .1.—— Viewpom‘rs. BY L. M; THORNTON.

It provides a constant supply of available plantfood and enables the potato crop to make the most of its short growing season. The roots with their limited feeding area, can‘get quickly from the soil the ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash required for rapid, continuous growth. Fertilizer makes the potatoes “size up. ” It makes more big potatoes in every hill and produces bigger yields. You get greater returns from your labor, seed, land and equipment. Fertilized potatoes cost less per bushel to grow and make a bigger profit per acre. Select the fertilizer that you need and use it liberally. Fertilizer is one of the most profitable investments that the potato grower can make. Write {or our Bulletin, “Potato Production.

It takes up a great deal of liquid when making a , dough as compared to pastry flour. Whether you make a. sponge and let it stand over night, or Start your bread in the morning and mix directly into a hard loaf depends upon the sort of beast used. The first method, called' the “Long" or p“Spongc and dough”l, process, is followed when you. use dry, yeast cakes, or “starter” which is slow. For the “Short’j 01' “Straight dough” process, you need compressed yeast or very active, fresh starter. In compressed yeast the plants are in a living, growing stage, while in dry yeast the plants are living but not growing. That is why we must use the long process to give the plants. time to start growth. In the short process—with compressed or active yeastwall' the ingredients are mixed I together at once into a stiff dough“ which is allowed to stand over night, and the bread is finished next day. Both ways of bread-making are claimed by their followers to be the best. Those who use the long method claim that bread made in this way is. lighter to handle, more crumbly, more porous and better flavoredmthat the long fermentation produces a distinc- tive taste and odor not obtained by the quicker method. On the other‘ hand, those who use the short. straiglit-‘ dousz'h method of bread-making, claim that the long fermentation takes away the sweet, nutty flavor of the wheat, and weakens the gluten. and that the labor of bread'making is lessened by the short process. The. dish in which the bread is man ed should be reserved for that use only if possible. A round-bottomed earth— enware bowl is thought best as it is easy to clean, has no seams to hold the dough, and- retains heat better than ' other- wares. However, if you: use a! bread mixer earthen ware is out of ‘ the questions. An alminum kettle or “ pail shaped like a bread-mixer is sotisv factory, it” the bread is kept in a warm place, but aluminum does not long re- tain heat, and the bread should not be set anywhere where the pail can be Chilled.

As a. matter of fact, a medium tem- perature neither too hot nor too cold will give good bread. A room which is comfortable to sit in is about right. Keeping the bread too warm makes bread dark in color, coarse grained and inclined to be sour, while keeping it too cold, or letting it get chilled. gives a small rubbery loaf with too much crust. It should not be wrapped in blankets unless the room is abso- lutely cold, and even then it is much better from the standpoint of cleanli- ness to set the bowl in a pan of good warm water. After the bread has doubled in bulk, and is, ready to form into loaves, knead just enough to break up the air bub bles. Individual pans for each loaf give better results than one ’large pan which holds two or three loaves, as in the large pans the heat can not readily reach the center and the inside loaves are: apt to be underdone.

No mOre interesting feathered petscan be found, and they have the additional advantage of being able to pay their way if desired. The young ones as “squabs” make excel- lent eating—if one wants to kill-them. ‘ If not, choice birds may readily be sold as breeding stock at profitable prices. Many young folks will vouch for the fact that more solid enjoyment can be derived from a few pigeon pets than from a houseful of inanimate toys. Many brain-weary men and women a1- so find needed relaxation in the com- pany Of their cooing and strutting friends. Most varieties of plgeons‘re4 spond readily to good treatment, and many of them become very tame. Their care and breeding also helps cultivate the faculty of close Observation and careful attention to details, and is thus splendid for anyone,»young or old. The loft may be a soap-box in the corner of some outbuilding and shelter but a single pair of pigems, or it may be more pretentious and house a larg— er flock or several different varieties. A single mated pair will give a start, and a small box in some out-Of-the-way corner with two nests will serve them for a home. Many .a city boy, with lit- tle or no ground space, has his pigeon coop on the roof of the house: In most cities, pigeons may be found building their nests and raising their young in the ste‘eples of churches, towers Of public buildings—and other such re- treats. Belonging to’ no man, they seek their food in the streets, about warehouses, or wherever anything can be found. Pigeons form a family distinct from chickens, ducks and geese. The ana- tomical structure is entirely different. she wants to start brooding. The male and female take turns in sitting on the nest, though true to tradition the male does only about one-fourth of the day’s work. One of the most singular things is the manner in which the young ones are fed. The latter, unlike chickens, are helpless when hatched and remain so until near maturity. They are fed in the nest by the parent birds, with what has sometimes been called “pig- eon’s milk,” a, curdy secretion produc- ed in the crops of the}. parent birds only at hatching time and which they inject into the beaks of the yOung. After about three days,— the pigeon The female lays but two eggs before, gradually mixes the “milk” with, 91:41. nary food or grain that has been moist- ened in her own crop. ’The'n the curdy secretion decreases for a week or ten days, when it ceases entirely. The young reach full size in four to} six weeks, and‘the stock may be, increased very rapidly, as the female usually lay's two more. eggs before the young ones are 011159)”. the nest. Some varlef tics hatch and raise asmany as six or . eight pairs each year. , Selecting a Good Variety. Almost all varieties of pigeons make good pets if prOperly handled. Prob- ably the best f‘guid‘e in selecting the variety to be kept is one’sl, personal preference. It is often advisable to go to poultry and pigeon shows, or to the yards of some large fancier, and ‘look ' them all over. Many people breed and handle several varieties before mak-. ing a final choice. . , The Homer is probably the best known variety of pigeon. Its distin- guishing characteristic is its remarka- ble power of flight and its attachment _to its home. This is the variety most largely used for squab breeding and is best adapted to those who wish to pay more or less attention to practical purposes. A professional man of our acquaint- ance has a fine flock Of White Fantails and Pouters. He keeps them in one flock, in a corner of his garage. The two breeds do not mix if .only mated pairs are put. in. He says he likes these varieties best because, in addi~ tion to their other desirable qualities. they stay near home and are thus saf- er from marauders. He has no Wire- covered flight, but gives them their lib- erty for a while each evening in nice weather. The Fa/ntails are bred for a. great spread of tail, which is carried upright like a fan. There are several different colors, but the white is most popular. ' The Pouter has long, feathered legs, a long but slender body, an erect car- riage, and has the power chiming the crop with air to an enormous extent,- forming an almost perfect ‘globe.rThls gives it a very odd appearance, which appeals to many people. There are several different colors. _ The Tumbler is a small bird, so nam- ed because of its singular method of turning somersaults, or tumbling, in its flight. ' In the same class are the Parlor Tumblers, which fly very little (Continued on.page 432).

Housing and Mating. 1 In preparing quarters for any breed of pigeons bear in'mlna that each pair 1 requires two nests, for the reason that, -‘ the female lays her second hatching of ‘ eggs and begins to set on them befOre the first pair of young are large enough to leave the nest. If pigeons be provided With plenty .of nesting ma- terial. Pine needles, excelsior and straw are excellent fOr this purpose. 1 Breeding stock should always be , 1 strong and Well developed. The blrds 1 can notbe seléCted too. carefully. ‘Un— 1 1 mated males or [females should never . ‘ 1 be left ; in the loft, tor they'will 'fly about and'disturb the well-mated pairs that would otherwise be intent. upOn . raising their young. ; 1 Every loft should be' provided with a. mating coop in WhiCh'b’irds to be mated can be placed, separate from the main flock. for thiee 0r four days. Simply divide a small box into two apartments with wire screen or net- ting. Place the male on one side and the female on the other, and when . . ’ they become attentive to one' another remove the partition and let them run together. After you are satisfied that they are well mated, the pair may be placed in the breeding loft, wheré a. good nesting-place ,is provided £01; them. . , Any good substantial'box'will do for this. Many people use empty egg mate's or orange boxes placed on the side. and within these may be locatéd . small wooden or clay dishes for nests. , If prope1ly mated, the birds will soon begin to build their nest and the hen start laying. She will usually lay two eggs, at day intervening between the first and second egg. It is a goodplan to number each nest, so that the date of laying can be recorded and the time fOr hatching positively known. Sixteen to eighteen days are requir- ed for the period of incubation. Usu- ally the male sits on the eggs from ten in the morning until about four in the afternoon, and the female sits from then on through the night and until about ten .the next morning. After the 'birds have been sitting four or five days an examination of the eggs will show whether or not they are fertile. . Simply hold them in the hand between 1 the eye and a, strong light. . It fertile they will be dark and opaque. If in- ‘ fertile they will be clear and nearly and the other clear, it iseconomy if one has two pairs of birds that started incubating about the same time to give both eggs to one pair and “break up" the other hen so that she can start laying again.

' _ . Occasionally, when there are two lit- tle squabs in a nest, one will get most of the food and be plump and thrifty, while the other one pines away. The Parentslsometimes play favorites in this unexplainable way, and the weak- er bird in such cases should be trans- ferred to a pair with a single squab about the same size, or fed by .hand. In the latter event. soak all grain in water or milk before feeding, or ad- minister small pellets of moist bread- Cleanliness and quiet are very es- sential to success in the pigeon busi- ness. Not only should the attendant be calm and friendly, but noisy visit; ors. dogs and cats should be tabooed. If certain pairs of birds are quarrel— ' some they should be removed for the sake of peace among the others. The coops and nests should be kept thor- oughly clean and sanitary and free from vermin. The same practices are good in these particulars that one would follow With chickens. When a pair has done with one nest, clean it out thoroughly, and put in fresh sawdust and excelsior. Watch closely for lice, especially during hot weather, and if you see any indications around. the coops, give them a good painting or spraying with coal oil. By " having a squirt-can you can easily in» ject the oil into any crack or partl- tion; it is sure death to vermin, while the odor does not seem to have any bad effect on the pigeons. Birds kept continually confined need a little more careful watching than do those that can have daily exercise, to see that they do not suffer from close confinement. If the loft is roomy they can get'considerable exercise right in the loft. but If quarters are contracted, the chances for disease and vermin are greater than if at liberty. Above all things, do net overcrowd. Feeding the Birds. Pigeonsthat have their liberty are I privileged to seek and select such food. as they prefer. Frequently they fly miles away to feeding places that fur- nish What suits their taste. But pig- eons in confinement have no choice and must be provided with food that is palatable and acceptable. able to supply a good variety of foods so that all the birds can find material to suit-their tastes and needs? ‘ One must be somewhat governed in feeding by the time at one’s disposal. If only able to visit the birds twice a day, food must be supplied to last from one feeding time to the other, but it, ~ able to visit the loft several times each day, than the feeding each time can be in limited quantities and the chance ' to vary the nation is much better. The food of pigeons needs to be var- ' led according to the season and loca~ In northern‘localities, where the ' tion. nights are long and often cold the food needs to be of a kind slow of digestion and wording considerable warmth. For this purpose, good sound peas, either gray or yellow, and the little Yankee corn make the best of food. During the spring and summer months, when the weather is mild and- the birds are breeding, sound wheat, buckwheat. small Canada peas, and. millet are the proper foods. Pigeons are very fond of corn, and many people feed it whole to their birds. This is a dangerous practice with small birds. however. as thc‘larxc kernels are liable to lodge in their throats and choke them. The best way to feed this grain is coarsely cracked. and with the meal sifted out. unless It Weizmann area. if“ p ‘ e starts laying afterward.

Stale bread is an excellent, econom- 'ical and favorite food with pigeons. It can be fed in various ways. It can be dried hard and pounded to pieces; it can be toasted and broken in bits, or it can be soaked and mixed with bran. Broken bone and charcoal will, at times, seem to be relished. While oys- ter shells and old mortar may answer the purpose, it is also well to provide a box of small-'sized gravel. As nature gave pigeons a. gizzard, it is necessary for this organ to be furnished with something hard to assist in grinding the food, and nothing answers this pur- pose better than sharp grit or'gravel. GRAIN FOR BREEDING ewes. i What would be the best feed to gét to feed my breeding ewes? I have corn silage and corn fodder, and later will have bean. pods and clover hay. I can not get alfalfa hay, but would like to grain them a little before they have their lambs. Will start‘to lamb about the first of March. I also have a field I would like to get seeded to alfalfa. It was fall-plowed. Had oats on it last year andcorn the year be- fore. It is a pretty good Sand loam, and nice and clean, but has been crop- ped quite heavy. I would have barn-' yard fertilizer that I could cover it with. Will you give me the best meth- od and time to seed this field? Would you advise inoculation of this field? Osceola Co. ' C. D.

The most convenient way to inoculate is to procure pure culture and follow directions.

"Do not plow too often,” is another important point; keep the soil as firm as possible in the rotation. - He indicated the value of the use of light dressings of manure, supplement— 1 » ed with acid phosphate on his type of muck and discussed briefly a test plat which was carried out in cooperation with the college, on which it was‘ shown that a heavy application of ma- tome and acid phosphate resulted in ten tons of beet-s more to the acre than the‘ check plat where nothing was ap- plied. The lecture by Professor F. J. AF way, of Minnesota, on “The Devemp- ment of Muck Land Farming in Eu- iope, pointed out the general conclu- sions which have been reached by Eu» ropean experimenters and observers; I concerning muck and pest soils can be- su1n1ned up as follows: 3 1. The productivity of these soils are equal to the best high land soils. 2. ' Annual application of potash and phosphoric acid fertilizers is found. necessary. ' 3. Where lime is found essential by. Achemical analysis, lime is necessary. The ordinary tests for acidity are m‘ié—l leading. Ordinary applications as ap: plied on Uplands aie sufficient. Too? ' much lime depresses the yield of. crops on muck. 4. The application of. nitrogen fertil-= izers is a waste of money on mocks, 3 which contain sufficient lime. 5. Heavy roiling is essential £01 suc- cessful muck fanning. 6 Muck soils may be over-drained. The application of barnyard manure} to promote decomposition of the muck. . hasbeen found essential in the initial - stages of reclamation. Mr. L. C. Robart, Eaton Rapids, in. his talk, “Beets on Muck,” emphasiz- ed good management in cultivation and. in handling labor. The fertilizer practice which he followed was outlin- .ed by the muck specialist ‘at the col- lege. The results were satisfactory. Drainage and rolling were the two con. siderax‘ions which received strong e111- phasis in Mr. Rohart’s discussion. J. J. Jeffrey, former Professor of Soils, M. A. 0., gave the results of carefully conducted experiments on the peat lands of the upper peninsula.

', ’ j - In a recent visit with a'oommercial next two or three years to pay the es- Labor sgemed ",to be' the item that lworried him. The plowing can be speeded up with a tractor but prunrng, spraying and harvesting fruit requires man la. bor and it does not seem that the amount of labor to properly produce _ fruit can be reduced. This year fruit is scarceand ‘much of the fruit seems to be shipped in and buyers seem to have the money to eat it. Of course, there will never be any profit in cull fruit, but it seems as if there is a great opportunity for Michigan growers to grow good‘ fruit to compete with the western stock. The writer recently talked with a farmer who had shipped a barrel of ‘Michigan Spy apples to a friend that lived in an apple-growing section of the west. The Spys Were greatly ap- preciated and attracted much atten- tion. The recipient of the gift was willing to admit that the Spy apple had a flavor which was superior to much of their western grown varieties. When the fruit from this state is ad- , vertised even half as much as some of the western apples, Michigan growers will never be able to fill their orders if the fruit has the quality to back up the advertising: ' In many sections the scale has ruin? ed the old apple orchards or they have died from general neglect. The farm- 61‘s with only a few trees have often neglected them because they did not have the time to follow out a spraying schedule with profit when the orchard consisted of mixed varieties. The fuss ing necessary to mix and apply appli- cations of spray dope for a few trees . interfered too much with their other work. In the future many of these farmers without orchards will be in the market for at least one barrel of apples each year. Peaches have been hard hit during the last five years. The peach, which is one of nature’s. most attractive gifts, is also one of its greatest speculations. The grower is always sure of the ex- pense of cultivating, pruning and spraying. But he is never sure of the cr0p that pays the bills. And frosts and freezes are bitter enemies of the peach. One peach grower recently told the writer that he would plant no more peaches, but gradually work more ex- tensively into apples because! they were a safer business proposition. If he‘ ever cuts. out peaches it will be with regret, but he knows the risks, from experience and discouragement. Apples seem to be one of the best bets state. Growers know how to control the pests and the trees are more hardy . and will stand more than peaches. " Even the pear, because of the blight, and the plum because of its perishable nature, will never rank in importance with the apple; which can be stored for future sales. »It takes time to come into bearing and most farmers will have to limit their orchard operations in that line because of lack of labor — or lack of capital. But the applevwill probably be the standby and the safest m £0? years to come. mmposltion _in 7 Michigan horticlfltnre‘ -. ii Vi'si'lheIitilllé dram-near to‘xorder ; ~ . nursery stock, the ’fruit 'grOWer . stock.

I gain. ered some last year in the spring and sowed it, but only a few of the seeds would grow. I intend to raise them In regard to the harvesting of locust ‘ seeds, would say that the proper time to collect locust seed is in the fall.Thc pods are then hanging on the trees in abundance and may be picked very easily. It should be borne in mind that. there are two kinds of locust. The black or yellow locust has rosebush ‘like'pricker and a short .pod three inches in length. The honey locust 'has a pod twelve to fourteen inches in length and an inch wide. It also has a long brown thorn. These brown thorns occur on the body of the trees and are very tough. Both trees are valuable for fence posts. Black or yellow 10- cust grows much faster than the horn ey locust, but has the serious draw- _ 'back of being subject to- injury by the locust borer and in some sections of' the state may be almost entirely de~ stroyed while the honey locust is not subject to the borer at; all. It is, how— ‘ever, a slow grower and will produce posts in not less than twenty years usually. The seed of .boih of these trees must be treated before it. is put into the ground. This treatment con- sists of dipping or pouring the seed in- to water heated to one hundred and eighty or two hundred degrees. If wu- ‘ ter at two hundred degrees is used the water and seeds must be stirred con- stantly; Use a quart of heated water to each pound of seed. Treatment will have gone far enough when the seed are swollen so that they take up near- ly all of the water. Seed should then be sown directly into the ground drills, holes, or in spots where intended for F. H. S. .A CORRECTION.

The first figure of a fertilizer formula therefore, always refers to the percent- age of. ammonia rather than nitrogen. The nitrogen constitutes eighty-two ' per cent of the ammonia and conse- quently the nitrogen content can be obtained by multiplying the amount of ammonia by the factor .82. " A. J. PATTEN.

Going To Do About It?” A Problem for the Dairyman N an article recently published in “The Milk Magazine”, Washbum of the University 'of Minnesota, after discussing the food value of skimmed milk and the large amount of this good human food that fails to reach humanity directly, says: Professor Spend five days' wages 1'01 explosives 3 .1, i actt29t39S£§ctgiarb Xgéfiieghiifrisv5e2: 4 "What are we food producers going to do about it?

This is due in a large measure to the stimulative ef- fect of the land clearing trains and demonstrations operated by the col- lege of agriculture. “In 1919 we used in Wisconsin for land clearing about 1,500,000 pounds of explosive, including TNT. This was about forty pounds a farm and repre- sented an outlay of not more than two and a half days' wages. i believe that at least ninety-farms out of one hun- dred could have easily afforded money to buy at least one hundred pounds of dynamite. At least one county two years ago used more than one hundred pounds to a farm. lt is/not impossible in any of the twenty-two upper coun- ties. “By buying in carload lots every- community in upper Wisconsin can save money. it takes only one hun‘ dred orders of two hundred pounds each to make a minimum carioad and get the: carload prices. Great savings are possible through buying wholesale in large quantities and there are few communities in upper Wisconsin where this quantity of explosive can- not be a'i'for’ded. We urge the commu- nity to get the cooperation of its road officials. It the town and county road committees will order their supply of explosive with the community, it will make it that much easier for a. carlot order to be made up. “It has been our experience that a community can easily arrange with a good live dealer to handle the whole proposition. It is necessary that some» body look after this and he is the proper person to do this. It is certain- ly fair for him to charge a reasonable profit. The User of eXplosives can well afford to pay the dealer, or any other person who acts as dealer, one cent a pound for the risk and trouble of hand- ling. This, of cour,se is based on de- livery at the railroad car and payment for the explosive in cash." THE LAMB MARKET. FOR weeks post the Chicago lamb trade has been largely aflected by the tactics pursued by the’» big packing firms in bringing in large supplies di- rect to their local plants from Denver and other distant western points. This is done for the purpose of checking the upward movement of prices, and it has been effectual in many instances, .Cu‘me ofit is being well-usedvon farm-tables, though not by any some amounts may be‘used as artificial buttermilk and as cottage cheese, but after all this is done, there still will remain great amounts of the most delicate and useful food with but a poor outlet. ” means as much as should be; What This Mean: To You HIS pertinent question, asked by a Dairy Expert, through the medium of a Dairy publication, shows that thinking dairymen are beginning to recognize the serious situation—~that over one third of their total output of human food substance is not being utilized as such, and therefore is failing to that extent in benefiting hu- manity and profiting the dairyman. Professor Washburn in his article calls skimmed milk “liquid lean meat” because of its likeness to meat in its food value. He then shows that when skimmed milk is fed to stock, only 15 to 20 percent of its food value is returned to humanity in the meat of the animal. In other words, the dairyman who feeds skimmed milk to stack spend. 100% of human food to get back 15 to 20 percent of human food. In this good business P To state it in terms of money—should you spend $100 to get back $15 or $20? There isr‘but one answer to this ques- tion. That .is, skimmed milk should be used directly as human food, and a market value established for it as such, if the dairyman is to realize the greatest profit and humanity the greatest benefit from this valuable food. Skimmed Milk as Human Food do that, a market for skimmed milk as a direct human food must be created. But skimmed milk in its natural state is not a palatable food because of its lack of fat content. 'Do make it desirable for human use, then, a fat must be restored to it. Oh- viousiy butter fat cachet be used. Why not then use a wholesome vegetable fat? ‘ “But that Would not restore it to the equal of whole milk in food value”, you say. You will be interested in reading our booklet, No it would not—but it is not desired to create an article that will compete in th' market With whole milk as a direct fooo. That brings us, then, to the question of use. Skimmed milk, with a vegetable fat added, is particularly useful for culinary purposes in the home. And there you have it. Skimmed milk with a small amount of vegetable fat added would serve as an auxiliary to the family milk supply for cooking and baking, and establish a new market for skimmed milk as a human food. The new food product Hebe, which is composed of evaporated skimmed milk and cocoanut fat, scientifically combined, does just that. Hebe Points the Way make 100 pounds of Hebe it takes 210 pounds of skimmed milk and 7.8 pounds of cocoanut fat. Thus a small amount of vegetable fat serves as the agent for making a large amount of skimmed milk more desirable and there— fore more readily salable as a human food product for cooking purposes. Hebe thus points the way to utilize as human food the skimmed milk that is now being less profitably used, and it does this without interfering with the estab- lished markets for dairy products. ' Hebe, then, is an ally to the dairy indus- try— opening a new and more profitable market to the dairyman for his by-prod- uct, skimmed milk -—- and co-operating in the effort for the increased use of dairy products in the home. Indirectly, every dairyman profits by that which benefits the industry as a Whole. As Hebe volume increases, there naturally will follow the extension of direct benefits. ”The MJSSIEQ Third. ” Ask us to send you a copy. There is ‘ ~ 7 no charge for this. Chicago.

Continue in waste or invent some better Way of using the skimmed milk ? ST”: .Cdme ofit is being well-naed on farm-tables, though not by any means as much as should be; some amounts may be "used as artificial buttermilk and as cottage cheese, but after all this is done; there still will remain great amounts of the most delicate _&fld' useful food with but a poor outlet. ” What Thii Means To You HIS‘ pertinent question, asked by a Dairy Expert, through the medium of 3 Dairy publication, shows that thinking dairymen are beginning to recognize the serious situation~that over one-third of their tetal output of human food's‘u balance is not bein‘g utilized as sdch, and therefore is failing to that extent in benefiting hu- manity and profiting the dairyman. Professor‘Washburn in his article calls skimmed milk “liquid lean meat” because of its likeness to meat in its food value. He then shows that when skimmed milk is fed to stock, only 15 to 20 percent of its food value is returned to humanity in the meat of the animal- In other words, the dairyman who feeds skimmed milk to stack spend! 100% of human food to get back 15 to 20 percent of human food. In this good business P To state it in terms of money‘should you spend $100 to get back $15 or $20? There isrbut one answer to this ques- tion. That is, skimmed milk should be used directly as human food, and a market value established for it as such, if the dairyman is to realize the greatest profit and humanity the greatest benefit from this valuable food. skimmed Milk as Human Food do that, a market for skimmed milk as a direct human food must be created. But skimmed milk in its natural state is not a palatable food because of its lack of fat Content. 'Do make it desirable for human use, then, a fat must be restored to it. Ob- viously butter fat cannot be used. Why not then use a wholesome vegetable fat? ‘ “But that Would not restore it to the equal ofwhole milk in food value", you say. No it would not—but it is not desired to create an article that will compete in the market with whole milk as a direct foou. That brings us, then, to the question of use. Skimmed milk, with a vegetable fat added, is particularly useful for culinary purposes in the home. And there you have it. Skimmed milk with a small amount of vegetable {at added would serve as an auxiliary to the family milk Supply for cooking and baking, and establish a new market for skimmed milk as a human food. The new food product Hebe, which is composed of evaporated skimmed milk and cocoanut fat, scientifically combined, does just that. Hebe Points the Way T‘O make 100 pounds of Hebe it takes 210 pounds of skimmed milk and 7.8 pounds of cocoanut fat. Thus a small amount of vegetable fat serves as the agent for making a large amount of skimmed milk more desirable and there- fore more readily salable as a human food product for cooking purposes. Hebe thus points the way to utilize as human food the skimmed milk that is now being less profitably used, and it does this without interfering with the estab- lished markets for dairy products. ‘ Hebe, then, is an ally to the dairy indus- try - opening a new and more profitable market to the dairyman for his by-prod- uct, skimmed milk — and co-operating in the effort for the increased use of dairy products in the home. Indirectly, every d‘airyman profits by that which benefits the industry as a Whole. As Hebe volume increases, there naturally will follow “the extension of direct benefits.

A coat of paint may give a tool such an improved appear- ance that many bidders will think al~“ most as much of it as a new imple- ment. The cattle deserve attention before the auction sale. 011' some farms the very fact that the cattle are soon to be sold causes the owner to lose inter‘ . est in them.. It pays to keep them well fed and groom them for the sale. It is not deceiving a prospective buyer to present goods at their best. It is only good business and should not be neglected. Flocks of poultry are sometimes dis- played at an auction cooped in slatted boxes where the buyer has no chance to examine them. No effort is made to grade the birds and so all of them are apt to sell at the same price as the poorest are worth. Why not cull the flock? Place the year—old hens in one lot and the pullets in another. Sort out the young cockerels and have them sold as broiler stock. If some of the birds are purebred and others are mongrels it will pay to classify them. It may bring a high bid for the purebreds when such a bid will be missing if all of the birds are lumped together. When cattle are sold the owner should be at hand at all times to ex- plain their age and condition and an- swer all questions demanded by the crowd. At a recent auction of purebred live stock at a consignment sale sev- eral of the cows sold for much less than they were worth because the owner did not get to the sale on time and the auctioneer was not provided with sufficient information concerning the time that the cows freshened or when they had been bred. The lack of this information caused some of the bidders to lose interest as they did not wish to risk placing bids without knowing the whole history of the ani- mal. At the ordinary farm auction the farmer should be posted on all points concerning the date‘of freshening and breeding so that he can answer promptly all questions of the bidders. It is a question if some farmers do not lose money at an auction by try- ing to sell every broken pitchf‘ork and leaky pail on the farm. These worth- less article‘s are sold so cheap that it is almost a waste of time for the auc- tioneer to talk about them, and some- times I feel that the buyers hear the prices bid on the junk and think that everything on the farm should sell proportionately at the same rate. The sum total derived from the sale might be larger if only the good and useful articles are included. Plenty of help should be available at an. auction so that the animals can be brought promptly into the ring in their turn. The crowd does not like to wait and many buyers will lose inter- est if they have to remain all day to witness a sale that should be finished. in four or five hours or less.~R. G. K.

' Montcalm CO. A. Kg - quiry ’I Replying to the above would say first, see that th se fence posts are properly dried and seasoned. If they are green posts which have- been cut during the present winter, ‘they will not be ready for treatment. ”until about Augusrt, 1920, and must first be piled in open crib piles and exposed to free air until that time. When. the air seasoning has been com-T pleted,‘ they should be treated with creosote by the open-tank method, which is briefly as follows: Prepare two old steel barrels for tanks in such a way that they are connected by a. two-inch iron pipe fitted withloek-nuts at the ends to each barrel This pipe should be eight feet long, separating ‘ the bariels at least that distance apart. ‘ This pipe should enter the bottom of these barrels at a height of not more than two inches f1om the bottom of the barrel. lTlie top, of course, may be re moved to make these barrels of the open-tank type. Creosote may be pur- chased from the Barrett. Company. of Chicago, Illinois, for this purpose. When ready to treat the posts, have the creosote on hand, place, posts up, right, butts down in both of these bar- rels until the barrels are full of theSe posts. Then 'empty the creosote into them until it Comes whhin four inches within the tOp of the barrels around the posts. Then build a. fire in the center of the pipe between the barrels so that the pipe will be heated. thus furnishing the heat to bring the creo- sote in the barrels to the boiling point or about two hundied dog ices After these posts have stood in this boiling creosote for about four hours, they should be allowed to remain until the credsote cools down. When itbecomes cool, the posts may be withdrawn and fresh posts put in. This is the proc- ess of open-tank treatment. It is nec- " essary in this treatment to leave the posts in the liquid until iiicy cool down because it is the cooling processwhich drives the creosote into the timber. Considerable care should be taken to prevent the boiling over of the barrels , so that the creosote will not get_into the fire because it will burn, although it is not explosive in‘ any wa.y.- This process has been covered in detail by the Michigan Farmer at different times in 'the past.

They are hardy and vigorous, always on the job and the greatest mortgage- lifters that ever on- tered a barn.

The cost is making even careless buyers think and inquire. And the more they in— quire, the smallerhwill grow the influence of hearsay and the irresponsible tire dealer. #- t t ‘We have all met the man who takes his opinions readymade. _ He tells everything he knows. He knows more about every car than the man who made it, where to buy the cheapest truck --how to get the biggest bargain in tires. He always arouses a ’cer— tain amount of wonder Q' Lhute The dance and hunt Rubi»! Every time you drivq your car along a track or a rut in a country ‘ road you are taking some life out of your tires.

They never think to ask bim" where he gets his secrets. * # it “ Somebody says” and “everybody does” are re— sponsible for more wrong impressions about tires than anything else you . can think of. It is on the people who cOme under the influences Of these phrases that the irresponsible dealer thrives. You generally find him with the name of a stand ard tire displayed in his windows to give an im- pression of quality. But when you get inside - 'the first thing he begins to talk about is price and substitution. ' 'Tirestogoaround. i U n; lied .;.t3 es _ Statesfsm - What “Tfie’” thoughtful ' motorist is looking for to. day is better tires. He goes to a legitimate dealer and gets a legitimate tire. The quality idea— the idea of a quahtynre, of a 7‘ « dealer who believes in quality—is Commanding a greater respect from a larger portion of the motoro ing public all the time. It is the idea on which the United States Rubber COmpany was founded— ,‘ f on Which it has staked a , 1 ‘ greater investinent than ” any other rubber organiza tion in the world.
