N UMBER FIFTEEN DETROIT, APRIL 10, 1920 CURRENT COMMENT OMMENT on the scarcity of avail- able farm labor at the present time is super- fluous. This lack of farm help is in no Sense theoretical. It is a condition which is almost universal, but particu- larly acute in our own state. This con- dition will, of necessity, modify pro- duction plans on many Michigan farms. The acreage of crops requiring a large proportion oi hand labor will have to be reduced in favor of crops which can be handled largely by the aid of ma- chinery; and the method of handling some of these crops may have to be modified in order to keep farm produc- tion at the optimum point from a profit standpoint under present conditions. Many farmers will pasture larger areas, and more farmers will “bog down” a portion of their corn crop or finish their lamb crop on standing corn than ever before, and in many ways labor economy will be practiced to a greater extent than has heretofore been attempted, simply because this will be a matter of necessity. \Vhile this great shortage of avail- able labor is a great handicap to Mich- igan farmers, this may be another case where small gains will largely offset an apparently inevitable loss. Under normal conditions a. good deal of labor is wasted on the average farm, due to poorly considered production plans. Many an ambitious farmer has under- taken large scale production of spe cial cash crops on land not well suit- cd to their production and without the special equipment needed to pro- duce them economically, simply be- cause some farmer of his acquaintance had made good profits from their pro- duction. Others have taken a chance on the weather by planting poorly drained fields to craps which would not endure “wet feet,” or at the other extreme have planted dry, thin lands to crops which are best adapted to heavier soils, only to have their labor come to naught through unfavorable seasonal conditions. The present high value of labdr will be a potent influence for economy in its use. Through well considered pro- duction plans, the growing of crops best suited to their soil and conditions and which they are best equipped to handle, the careful selection and test- The F arm Labor Situation ing of seeds to secure good stands of 5 the crops they grow, the planning for the' reasonable performance of the. various operations required by each crop, and similar economies will line . doubtedly‘ increase the average per man production on many farms and 3.1m... . reverse the .... profit made by many Michigan If this desirable end is to be accom- plished it must beb'y better head work. rather than ' by‘ more hand—work; {by the better direction of personal efforts and the available extra labor, rather than by increasing the demands-on a per- haps already overworked body. Many farmers have followed a certain rou- tine in their work until it has become a habit. If they can find a better way to do any farm operation with a small» er expenditure of labor they will aban- don the habitual method this year. Suggestions along this line are partic7 ularly valuable at this time and should be passed along for the benefit of oth- ers whenever possible. AIRY farmers of Livingston coun- Reg’sfered ty, Mich., have found Dan? the sale of purebred Cattle Pay dairy cattle one of their most profitable sources of income during the past few years. There are many factors enter- ing into the problem of making a dairy farm pay and one has to study the business from many angles before an riving at definite conclusions. A sur- vey of more than sixty dairy farms in Livingston county indicates that pure- bred dairy cattle, more particularly young cows, have contributed greater net profits to the owners of these farms than the sale of milk. Besides it has made it possible to regulate the num- ber of cows and young stock kept on the farms to the amount of labor avail- able. The farmer who has purebred cows always has an advantage in this respect, inasmuch as he is not compell- ed to sacrifice some of his cows at beef prices when his supply of home- grown feeds or labor fails. The reputation which Livingston county has gained as a source of pure bred dairy cattle has also made it pos- sible for breeders of high-grade cows to sell them at from twenty-five to fifty dollars per head more than is the case in communities where only a few good grade cows can be had for shipment. The most economical and the most sat- isfactory way for the average dairy farmer to conduct his dairy business is to buy a registered hull of one of the leading dairy breeds, and a few good females. Care should be taken to see that they are good individuals and that they come from popular lines of breeding. It is always better to have a few good females than to make a mistake of attempting to spread the initial investment over too many infer- ior ones. In' this way the grade cows can gradually be replaced with pure— breds, and the sale of milk will furnish sufficient current income to keep the business going. It is one of the few ways in which the farmer can “eat his cake and have it left.” It is remarkable how quickly a good dairy herd can be built up from a few. foundation cows and a suitable sire. Most of the famous Holstein—Friesian herds in Livingston county have been built up in this way, and today there are more than two hundred farmers in the county who are actively engaged Probably more than a hundred others have made a start. Not only are these men finding it "more profitable to pro- duce milk with pure-bred cattle than with grades, but they are finding that the sale of their surplus breeding stock has added a. new source of income that has encouraged them to take a great- er interest in their business. We all know of certain grade herds that are making more money for their owners than some pure—bred herds in the same communities, but every local" ity has examples of men" in the pure- bred business who never sh'ould have invested money in registered cattle. But whenever we visit the farm of a man who is making a success with a herd of grade cows we cannot help but think of what a success he would have made of his business had he devoted the same effort to the work of build- ing up a herd of purebred cattle. As a business proposition the dairy farm or who knows good cows- and how to feed them to get results cannot afford to waste his time and money with grades or scrubs. The risks are too great for him to depend upon one. source of income when it is possible to double his profits without adding more cows to his herd or more acres to his farm. And that is just what the dairy farmers of Livingston county are ..doing with their herds of purebred dairy cattle. T is surprising to many pe‘ople to Killing hear that many dairy' m farmers right here in Goose Michigan are selling all of their milk and buying oleomargarine for use on their tables—thus reducing the consumption of dairy products when a decreasing demand threatens a rapid decline in prices. The man who owns a dairy "farm and buys butter substitutes de serves mighty little sympathy when prices for dairy products hit the to- bOggan. Such a man takes no pride in the quality of his products and his example furnishes no inspiration to other men engaged in the same busi- nose. The farmer owes it to his children, for health‘s sake, to use as much milk and butter as he would like to see his city cousin’s children use. He owes it to his business to use his own prod note on his own table. In this way he not only advertises them as superior to substitutes, but he avoids paying toll to the manufacturers of substi- tutes which are his competitors in bus iness. By using dairy products he helps to keep up the demand, using part of the surplus, and, thus, does his part toward maintaining prices. The farmers make up a. large portion ‘ of the consuming public, and if every farm family used as much milk as it should use there would be no big sur- plus to deal with. If dairy farmers have not learned the food value of milk and butter, and have not pride enough in their business to use them, how can they expect the city people to buy them? tral Railroad tracks in Lansing.

HE ultimate purpose of the’ growth of vegetation used for food is the nutrition of the ani- mal organism, using the term animal .in its comprehensive sense, ‘as distin- guished from vegetable, and in order that this purpose may be served the food plant must contain the various elementary substances required for an- imal nutrition. In the young plant these substances are distributed throughout the plant, and the herbivorous animals find in pasture grasses everything necessary for their sustenance; but as the plant approaches maturity a partial separao tion'takes place, the larger part of its phosphorus being transferred to the . seeds, while most of the lime and pot- ash remain in the stem and leaves. When the grain is sold off the farm there is therefore a relatively large removal of phosphorus, while if the en- tire plant is removed, as when hay is sold or both grain and straw, there is a rapid removal of all the elements of fertility. The young grazing animal builds its skeleton out of the lime and phosphor- us contained in the grasses, while the dairy cow converts these grasses into milk, which must contain all the ele- ments—phesphorus and calcium—un- der all ordinary systems of agriculture. Many farmers believe that the keep- ing of live stock, feeding to such stock the larger part of the produce of the liming. When the land in this experi- ment has been dressed with ordinary open-yard manure, applied to the corn and wheat at the rate of eight tons per acre on each crop, the yields hays been as below: Limed 60.8 48.3 32.6 Unlimed Corn, bushel . ......... 55.5 Oats, bushel 46.8 Wheat, bushel .. .. .. 29.1 Clover, pounds ..3,374 4,301- Timothy, pounds ..... 4,190 5,485 the whole having a total average value of $224 per rotation on the unlimed land and of $260 on the limed land, a gain for liming of $36. Because it pays so well to lime this land, however, it does not follow that it will pay to lime everywhere. The in raw phosphate rock, it does not ap- pear that they are always utilized by the plant in this combination, since phosphatic fertilizers seem to increase the yield irrespective of the demand for lime. Thus in the experiment at Wooster, 320 pounds of fourteen per cent acid phosphate, distributed over the cereal crops, has produced the fol- lowing increases per acre over the yield of the unfertilized land: ‘ Unlimed Limed Corn, bushel 8.6 8.4 Oats, bushel 11.6 10.9 W11eat,.bushel 8.0 9.2 Clover, pounds 407 608 Timothy, pounds ..,.. 307 768 The increase would have a total val- ue of $40.44 on the unlimed land, and farm, and returning the manure to the land, will indefinitely maintain its fer- tility; but consideration of the facts above quoted shows that this cannot be true, even with the most careful saving and use of manure, unless feeds be purchased in sufficient quantity to replace the losses of lime and phos- phorus, while if the manure is allowed to lie for months in the open barnyard before it is taken to the field, or if it be left in small heaps in the field to be scattered when convenient, it will have lost a very large part of its fer- tilizing value. Lime. The superiority of limestone soils has become proverbial, and the as- sumption that such superiority is due to the lime contained is supported by a test at the Wooster farm of the Ohio Experiment -Station, the soil of which is a silty loam, derived from shales and sandstones. The experiment is a five-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and timothy, each crop being grown every t Muck Land, Ottawa County. Reclaimed a Few Years Ago by Drainage. Now Growing Sugar Beets. western half of Ohio is floored with limestone, and in this area, at German- town, Montgomery county, the experi ment station owns a farm located on a typical Miami clay loam, ‘ derived from the decomposition of limestone gravel, on Which a three-year rotation of corn, wheat and clover has been in progress since 1905. Liming here has produced a definite increase in alfalfa, but other crops have not justified its use. Phosphorus. While phosphorus, oxygen and calci- um are combined in lime in the sub. stance known as phosphate of lime, and are found in a similar combination of $48.72 on the limed land, equivalent to $12.24 per hundred pounds of acid phosphate on the unlimed land and of $15.22 per hundred pounds on the lim- ed land. At Germantown 240 pounds of the same grade of acid phosphate, divided equally between the corn and wheat, has produced the folliwing in- crease per acre: Germ antown This value would be equivalent to $9.89 per hundred pounds of acid phos- phate. The Ohio Expeiiment Station is op~ elating fourteen expeiiment farms, lo- cated in as many different counties. and on soils typical of all the princi- pal soil formations in the state. On nine of these farms experiments have been in progress for from four to twen- ty-five years, in the average of which every hundred pounds of acid phos- phate has produced more than four bushels of wheat, with increase enough in the clover following the Wheat to much more than pay for the fertilizer. Atthe Ohio Experiment Station an experiment has been running since 1894 in which corn, oats, wheat, tim- othy and clover are grown in a five- year rotation, each crop being grown every season. Part of the land has been left continuously without fertil- izer or manure of any him], while the other part has received fourteen per cent acid phosphate, used at the rate of eighty pounds per acre each on corn and oats, and one hundred and sixty pounds on wheat. Since 1900 half this land has been cross-dressed every five years with powdered limestone, appli- ed to the surface and harrowed in at the rate of two tons per acre, while the land was being prepared for corn. Charging $6.00 a ton for the limestone, spread on the land, and $30 a ton for the acid phosphate, also spread on the land, and computing the values of the crops at the prices above used, the seventeen-year average outcome of this work for each fireyear period has been as below, using the crop yields given in Bulletin 336 o: the Ohio Ex- periment Station: Treatment.

TANDARDIZATION of the Califor- nia beans placed on the market was one of the things advocated by officials of the California Bean Growers’ Association in meetings 61’ growers held throughout the Sacramento Val- ley recently. Attention of the growers was called to the fact that beans grown in other states are hand-picked and are much more carefully cleaned than California beans, resulting in a bigger demand for the beans .from other states. FARM WAGES IN ILLINOIS. ' ENTRAL Illinois.farmers are fac- ing the problem of an increase in pay for all farm laborers this year. Demands from farm hands already are being filed and the farmers who fail to meet the new terms may be forced to do the work themselves. Many are asking $120 to $125 a month, including board and washing, and in. for any less. The section men of the railroads are now being paid $90 a month for eight hours. The farm laborers say that the hours on the farm run close to twelve hours a day and that $125 a month is not any too much. * Farmers are disposed to pay $100 a month, but this is said to be their limit. TO REDUCE SHIPPING LOSSES. —"I" SPECIAL representative of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Associations is to be stationed at the Indianapolis Stock Yards to look after the interests of shippers of live stock a. meeting of directors of the organiza- tion. The plan, which had been favor- ably discussed before by the live stock committee, received the indorsement of the directors. It will be the duty of the representa- tive to see that the stock shipped reaches the yards in good condition, that it is weighed properly, that it goes to the pens properly cleaned, and that feed and water are provided as needed. The proposition will be financed on the basis of one cent a head for hogs, sheep and calves, and four cents a head for cattle. Under this plan, it was pointed out, the cost to each shipper will be comparatively small. SOUTH DAKOTA WOOL GROWERS ORGANIZE. FFICERS elected by the newly or- ganized South Dakota Sheep and Wool Growers’ Association, which met recently at Huron, are: J. G. Rogers, Midland, president; P. F. Buche, Hen- ry, vice-president; J.

One-half the wool used in the Unit- ed States was imported, and by proper handling much of this could be pro- duced at home. The association hopes to have a. state ,wool expert go to market with all consigned wool and see it graded and sold, thus aiding in establishing a sounder and more even market. The organization adopted the following res— olutions: Resolved, that the National Wool Growers’ Association take such steps as are deemed expedient to secure prompt settlement for wool purchased by woolen mills, so as to eliminate the delay of sixty to one hundred and twenty days before settlement is made under present conditions. Resolved, that the county wool growers’ association urge their mem- bers to assist in establishing a reputa- tion for South‘ Dakota wool by \putting up an honest package of wool, by re— movmg all manure tags and sweat locks and that each fleece so prepared be tagged with a tag that is uniform for the state. All fleeces are recom- mended to be tied with paper twine. Resolved, that the State Wool Grow- ers’ Association recommend that the state college hire an expert in sheep husbandry to do extension work in South Dakota, and that a bulletin or pamphlet be prepared for distribution on the care and handling of wool for market. .Resolved, that we express our appre- c1ation of the efforts of the South Da- kota marketing department and of F. 0.

HE Farmers’ Grain Dealers’ Nations a1 Association, in session at Chica- go, decided to get behind the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence tidewater project, according to the plans of the delegates. The association represents four thousand companies with an invest- ment of more than $80,000,000 in grain elevators, coal houses, lumber yards and warehouses. These companies do $1,000,000.000 worth of grain business or more every year and handle more than $140,000,- 000 worth of farm supplies, lumber, coal,_ flour, feed, fertilizer and building material. Herman W. Danforth, president of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, is president. Action will be taken today on the waterway. The plan is to widen the canal to the St. Lawrence river so that boats can start from Chicago and go direct to Liverpool. This will bring Chicago seven hundred miles closer to Liverpool. It is pointed out by the delegates that this would greatly re- lieve the transportation problems of the whole United States. There Was a big car shortage this year because of the congestion at the terminals, which has affected the mar- keting of wheat. This is one of the problems that the delegates are eon- sidering. Thirty-five per cent of the 1919 wheat crop is still in the bins in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, ac- cording to the officials of the organi. zation, and it is there because of car shortage. The fact that wheat growers are un- able to market their grain brought up important questions at the meeting concerning the government’s price guarantee, because the authority to buy in. protection. of the guarantee ends ‘June 1.

This means that farmers who have not been able to market their grain. will have to sell it fatter run? ,1 at re’ lated acco a: whatever they are (altered "p, ' mg ' ' 0' \ «any? ‘ sw‘fig .- v. ~9_ . , .

RUNAWAY bran market has‘un- set the calculations of. trade in- terests who had forecasted a steadily "downward trend of prices for feedstuffs. - But the action of millfeeds has not influenced to any important extent the fluctuations in other com- modities used“ in feeding operations. 0n the whole, the feed market still shows signs of weakness, though to a far lesser'degree than was apparent a month or more ago. That 'element in the market which .had placed a bear- ish construction upon prices gave too much consideration to fundamental conditidns, or at least erred in their judgment as to the time when those conditions would actually influence values. — With the single exception of the short period immediately following the removal» of maximum price restrictions by the United States Food Administra- tion, bran has advanced to the highest level in market history. An advance of about eight dollars a ton has been recorded within the past month, the market having reached a level which places the mill offal at a sharp premi- um over other feedstuffs, particularly on the basis of comparative feedstuffs values. For instance, alfalfa hay, which is closely related to bran with about the same feeding value, is sell— ing at a discount of approximately fif- teen dollars a ton under the millfeed. Despite such an anomalous situation, millers have been able to sup'ply only a very small portion of the enormous demand for bran on the upward trend of prices. _ Probably the most important factor in the scarcity of offal is the sharp reduction in activity of flour milling plants the past thirty to sixty days. Ability to sell millfeed is not a consid- eration in the least in the percentage of activity of a milling plant, bran and shorts being 'merely an offal and a minor factor in the flour milling indus- try. The volume of buying in the flour markets and the success of millers in placing orders for flourinfluence the activity of mills. And in the past sixty days mills have shared an extremely quiet demand for flour. The changed condition in the. flour market is not surprising, however, domestic consum- ers having bought on an abnormal scale the preceding five months of the crop year. The trade overbought on flour, and when the break in wheat prices occurred, many found them- selves with heavy stocks on hand and showing a great loss. The result was a sudden disappearance of flour buying and a consequent falling-off in new production. The trade is just now recovering from the slackened flour buying, but m Sorland’ °f demand has not yet reached a point requiring full capacity operations among milling plants of the United States. Also, it must be remembered that mills have accumulated a large stock of flour which must be worked off into consuming channels, before production will increase rapidly. The belief had prevailed in feed market circles that the enormous production of offal, estimated for the entire Unit- ed States thus far on the crop at ap- proximately 4,250,000 tons, was not be- ing consumed as rapidly as produced, but it is easily apparent that the sharp rise in prices after the slackening in mill activity that the feed has been really absorbed. - Country demand for bran in practi- cally all large milling districts was heavy during the late winter and early spring period, and many plants that had reduced operations because of a lack of flour demand were forced to enter the open market for supplies to meet their local requirements. This, of course, not only absorbed the bulk of the output of interior mills, but de- veloped a demand which previously was a source of large supplies. Anoth- er factor in the millfeed.trade was the eagerness of mills to dispose of flour by offering a portion of feed in the car. Some close observers of bran price fluctuations claim that the right situa- tion was created by enormous specu- lative transactions. While doubt is ex- pressed on this point, the artificial in- fluences resulting from the activities of re—handlers have been felt to an ex- tent. Speculators who were bearishly inclined on the offal “went short” on large quantities, contracting with oth- er handlers, possibly consuming inter- ests, to deliver at a certain time at an agreed price. One western handler ac- cumulated a short itnerest of more than eight thousand tons, and there are other instances of heavy selling on the part of the so-called {‘shorts,” that the feed could be bought on the open market at a figure under the contract price. But the handlers failed to ob- tain the feed contracted, many dealers went into the open market and bought for the account of those with whom they contracted to purchase. The short interest continue to pile up, and with a lack of offerings from mills, values were naturally forced up. The March short interest was very heavy, and some fear is manifest in trade circles over the possibility of another tight situation in the April deliveries. If this develops, then little hope prevails for any sharp reaction in prices. Bran in Minneapolis is selling around $48 to $49 a ton, sacked, in carlots, at this, writing, with Chicago quoting around $49 to $50, St. Louis up to $52 12.»..- -Mth_l’our Glass AKRecon-ds, Latest Record was ' Years and Six Months, 15,616, Pounds of Milk, a _ _ ‘ ilfil,‘ ;' -_ -’;5 ‘1,"..

DETROIT & tenforsofiawm when: r," = _; , tions‘are'iof a very erratic character; ‘ :1 «’5' as is... and, without any. abnormal shortjinter- ' est in the market, a sharp downturn 3 would not be surprising. Flour de- mand is improving and mill operations ' are increasing. With the grassseason practically at hand, millteeds will nat- urally tend downward, and dairy inter- ests should buy only for their immedi- ate requirements. While there is a possibility that values' will soar even higher, this appears very improbable, and the dairyman who stocks up with the olfal at current prices may regret his eagerness for the feed within an‘ other month. / Shorts, the heavier offal, have fol- lowed the upward trend of bran, but the premium commanded by shorts ov- er the lighter feed is not so wide as uSual for this season Of the year. Hog producers are buying large quantities of shorts to use as a slop in feeding spring pigs, though their requirements are not abnormal for the spring season. Standard middlings or gray shorts are bringing around $60 a ton in Minneap- olis, the leading spring wheat market, with the brown grade about $53 a ton there. Chicago quotes $54 for brown, and $59 to $60 for gray shorts, with the St. Louis market averaging about $2.00 a ton under this level. Gray shorts in the southwest are selling at $54 a ton, and $52 for brown, basis Kansas City. The sharp rise in both bran and shorts has tended to reduce consumption, and in a small "measure this is being felt in price changes. A lagging demand from. feeders still is apparent in the cottonseed cake and meal trade, and unlike other commodi- ties, the market has been practically stationary in recent weeks, tending downward slightly. The absence of buying by dairy interests and other feeders is Offset to an extent by the heavy sales to fertilizer manufacturers. Off-colored meal is being taken by the fertilizer trade at a level around $7.50 per unit, basis the Memphis market, and there is sufficient demand to ab- sorb the Offerings Of meal manufactur- ed from damaged seed‘. Cake and meal of forty-three per cent protein are bringing around $62 to $63 a ton at Texas and Oklahoma, crushing points, or around $68 a. ‘ton in the important feeding sections, or about $80 in Mich- igan. In the southeastern crushing sections the market is at a, slightly higher level. , While crushing activity in the cot- ton belt is being sharply reduced as the season progresses, an acute short- age of the high protein concentrate, such as was witnessed a year or two years ago, is improbable. Instead, the supply situation may become easier as the spring and summer period for feed- ing cake and meal on grass approaches. Beef cattle values are at a disappoint- ing level, and producers are disinclin~ ed to purchase high-priced cake for their fattening operations. The ten- dency has been, and probably will con- tinue, to carry along the stock during the grazing season as cheaply as pos- sible. If pastures are in good condi— tion during the grazing period, which now is the prospect for the entire southwest, west and more northern sections, consumption of cake on rang~ es is expected to be far below normal. The stocks of cake and meal in crush- ers’ hands are more than double the total of a year ago, though less seed was used by crushers in their opera- tions. . Linseed feeds are tending down- ward. Flaxseed from the Argentine is moving into the United States in more liberal volume, but the domestic sup-l ply situation is not encouraging, the shipments from the interior being ex- tremely light. Crushers are asking ‘ about $75 a ton for linseed cake and meal, basis Minneapolis. representing. a; decline of $3.00 a ton during :1“? ” ‘ringsforlprompt ship- ment.- Feeders. are buying in small lots. Indicative. of the weak position of the. market is the fact that crushers . are willing to contract for delivery of linseed feed in April or May at a dis«' count of $3.00 to $5.00 a ton under the spot market. Crushers are without an export outlet for cake and meal, and with no improvement anticipated in . the foreign demand for some months, or at least the remainder of the crop . year, the trade is dependent entirely on domestic buying. A further easing of prices is probable as the Season ad- vances, particularly if weather condi- tions are favorable. Marketings ‘of hay from the west continue on an enormous scale, though eastern terminals still complain of a dearth of Offerings. Car shortage, poor condition of country roads and scarcity of hay in farmers’ hands, are the re- stricting influences in the eastern movement. There is a strong under- tone in the clover market, with Detroit quoting around $32 a ton, with sales in St. Louis up to $38 a ton. Because of the scarcity of clover hay in the country, dealers look for no sharp ne- action in prices until the new crop be- comes available for market. Dairymen of the east and north are heavy buy- ers. Alfalfa, which is being substituted on a very large scale in the east and north for clover, displays a strong tone, the sharp declines of February having placed the market on a firmer basis. A significant factor m connec« tion with the heavy movement of al- falfa from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska. and other western states is the grow- ing scarcity of the better grades sought by dairymen. The cheaper Offerings are in very liberal supply, and for this reason display an easy tone, selling at a sharp discount under the better va- rieties. Choice alfalfa is bringing a. top of $36 a ton in Kansas City, the leading market, with the cheapest grades down to $15 a ton. Pressure on the cheaper grades is being felt more or less in the market for the bet- ter offerings. Dairymen and feeders in general should purchase sparingly at this time, as seasonal readjustments to a new crop basis usually are wit- nessed early in the grass period. New alfalfa begins moving in May, while slackening in demand as a result of the use of pastures already is being felt. Strength of corn and oats have play- ed an important part ,in the price changes in feed markets. Corn has ad- vanced tO around $1.60 a bushel in the middle west markets, and the distant deliveries have gained sharply, having turned up thirty cents a bushel from the low point recorded in February. The improved position of the hog mar- ket is increasing consumption of corn on farms of Iowa, Illinois and sur- rounding states, with producers more generally inclined to market their grain f‘on the hoof” than in the raw form. The car situation has not im- proved, and the movement to markets is light. With. spring planting work progressing northward, it is probable that arrivals will continue to fall off. With the sale of white oats at .3100 a. bushel in Chicago recently, a new rec- ord level was reached on the minor cereal. Heavy sales to foreigners, light farm reserves in the United States and a. strong domeStic demand account for the unusual level of oats. It is very doubtful, however, if further material advances will be scored, ow- ing to the approach of the new crop. Texas and other southern states will soon begin offering new crop oats, and . with the pasture season at hand, the consumptive requirements in domestic channels will be reduced. But spring plauditswork 15.nov, atmmm _ 109‘! ing of oats. . I “"u .4 V.c./~W~-.-,,. ] . ' lid-JLd'tlmfied ...’_.—_ V.<_.,. , Icy ARMER' representatives of Mich- F igan's cooperative and * farmer- owned and controlled elevators have taken the first step toward the establishment of a cooperative elevator exchange. . . , This happened in Saginaw on Tues- day, March 30. There were represen- tatives from about fifty of these ele- vators present to take an active part in the deliberations. Should the under- taking be fully realized it will by all odds be the largest cooperative enter- prise ever attempted in the state, and the directness with which these agri- cultural leaders went at their job gave everyone present, even the old-line jobbers and dealers, a genuine feeling that the thing was going to succeed. Farm Bureau Sponsor for the Move- ment. . The Michigan State Farm Burea issued the call for this meeting and Mr. Nicol, of South Haven, vice-presi- dent of this organization, held the gavel while the big job was being pull- ed off. In his opening remarks Mr. Nicol cleared the atmosphere of any misunderstanding as to the position of. the Farm Bureau in relation to the proposed elevator exchange. “We are here, not as a dictator, to tell what should be done, but as a promoting agent to give the farmers a chance to build the kind of organization that will best serve the farmers’ wants and the highest interests of the public. To that end we have not only called the repre- sentatives together but we also stand ready with the necessary funds to guarantee that all financial obligations be cared for until the exchange is in a. position to take care of itself.” Mr. Nicol believes that the interests of all are served when one class is righteous- ly benefited. ' Standardized Products Market Best. Without question farm products must be standardized before any great improvement can be made in our mar- keting system, was the position taken by Professor Tennant, Marketing Di- rector of the Michigan Agricultural College. When carefully graded prod— ’ ucts are sold the parties to the tran- saction know exactly What they are selling or buying. In the Potato Grow- ers’ Exchange the better grading now practiced has proved one of the chief factors in building a reputation for the organization. But to do this grading best it has been found necessary for the producers to grow the same type of potato. Growing fewer varieties makes possible a greater uniformity of product. At the present time about seventy per cent of the potatoes grown by the members of the above exchange are of one variety—the Petoskey. Mr. Nicolson, seed specialist who is now at the head of the seed distribution work of the State Farm Bureau, de- clares that there is need of not more than three varieties of wheat for the state. The greatest progress cannot be made by tenaciously sticking to the old individualistic ideas. “We must break away from them,” says Mr. Ten- ant, “and instead develop the cooper- ative idea. Progressive work will fol- low mutual effort while competitive methods are bound' to prove abortive in comparison.” He holds that an ad- equate sales service which brings the farm products nearer to the consumer, before it leaves the control of the pro- ducer, can be built only upon the co- operative plan. scheme must be of such size that the highest service may be given those ' I. '7 ui' goods It is only then r" 3}th "-‘Excha‘nge And this cooperative . an V’e'levato at Mas... Held Last Wear at Saginaw likewise our finances should be mobil- ized and made to work to the best advantage. . The various types of farming fol- lowed in Michigan make unusually broad demands upon our marketing or- ganizations. There is a wide range of cmps and a great latitude in the varieties used so that market chan- nels carry many products. Aside from the regular grain crops and beans we have a large supply of all kinds of live stock that must move to the cit- ies, and fruit of many kinds to get to the‘consumer. In handling all these various lines Mr. Tenant believes that the Farm Bureau will be equal to the task of coordinating the work in a way that will secure the maximum of ad- vantage and service. ’ The farmers were extremely inter- ested in the story of the work done by the Michigan Potato GrowrS’ Exchange as presented by Dorr D. Buell, general manager. There are now over ninety locals affiliated and the combined bus- iness of these‘has been of almost un— believable magnitude. The Exchange is the clearing house of the locals and does the selling of products and the buying of supplies. During the past two years much experience has been had by both members and officials and the general satisfaction, not to men- tion the enthusiasm, of the rank and file of the members gives the organiza- tion a foothold that it would now be difficult for outside influences to dis- turb. Once efficiently organized, farmers find that their marketing troubles give them little concern and being releas- ed from these troubles they can and do, turn their attention to new ques- tions of production. It is easy to get _ interested in producing uniform goods when those not uniform bring a short- er price _than well graded stock. To get such potatoes members of the 10— cals in northwestern Michigan are con fining their efforts to fewer varieties, in fact, nearly three-quarters of the potatoes grown in the district are now of the Petoskey variety. Mr. Buell also finds that there is a big advantage in doing business on a large scale. ‘ They can always supply customers. Anyone wanting potatoes knows that they can be had of the Ex- change. The magnitude of the busi- ness makes it possible to give closer attention to grading, to transportation problems, to the handling of the prod- ucts at the terminals, etc. It iseasier for the big concern to build a reputa- tion, open up new markets, more com- pletely cover the fields developed, finance their enterprises. He is thor- oughly solid on the idea of forming a similar Exchange for the farmers’ ele- vators of the state. Mr, Arnold who is in charge of the sales of all farm products other than potatoes handled through the Potato Growers’ Exchange and of the buying of supplies, gave ample evidence of the wisdom of making binding con- tracts between the locals and the Ex- change. Where the locals are bound to sell through the organization they have set up to do this work, the Exchange knows that when a sale is made the goods can be delivered. If no obliga- tion exists on the part of the local manager to place a carload through ' the central office then the manager of the latter is handicapped in getting quotations because he is obliged to of- fer on condition. The same rule holds in buying supplies.

ITH the present labor shortage on farms, I‘expect more farmers than ever before are seeking a; solu- tion of some of their problems in the I know this is true in this and other commu- nities. The increase in pasture crops On many farms will be as high as ten to twenty per cent. Many, are wanting to get back to the pastures they had before the war—pastures that were broken up to swell the grain area dur- _ {mg the war. Good pastures are not so easy to make as some would lead us to be- lieve. It is a, fine art to make and maintain a suitable pasture, one that many do not succeed in accomplishing. Pastures are profitable when properly cared for. I have no doubt but that many fields could be‘greatly improved by putting them into pastures for a few years, pasture them so that they would not be eaten too close at times, and fertilize them lightly with manure. What farmer does not like to break up a good pasture and put it in corn, potatoes or some other spring crop? He knows what kind of crops usually follow old pastures. Land kept in well maintained pasture will be kept in a good state of fertility, and if we could plow up such each-,year to plant to corn we should have little trouble in securing substantial yields. Someone has said that agriculture will begin to decline when farmers are forced by necessity to resort to pas- tures in order to avoid a labor handi— cap. This cannot be true. Produc- tion of some farm products may be re- duced, but it would seem that a suffi- cient meat and milk supply would be maintained at substantial prices. Good pastures do not reduce the efficiency and productiyeness of a farm, but for the farmer who studies the proper making and maintenance of pastures it is a means of increasing the effi- ciency of farms. Two small pasture fields, so that the live stock may be shifted from one to another, relieves the situation wonderfully on a live stock farm. \Last year 1 had it so ar- ranged that we were able to shift the stock about in four fields, only two of which were in permanent pasture, un- til the drouth so burnt up 'all the pas- tures or made it dangerous to the pas- tures to have the live stock on them that it became necessary to supple- ment 'them for several weeks with silage. Close grazing often endangers apas- ture. That is one reason why the use of two or more small pastures are of- ten better than one big pasture field, as it allows one to shift the live stock from one field to another when a rest of a week or two will be of great ben- efit and give the grass a chance to re- cover. If it has been necessary to thicken a pasture by sowing a little seed one will be better able to improve the stand by constant shifting of the stock. Permanent pastures may also be protected and made to yield better returns in most years by letting the stock pasture other crops when possi- ble, such as rye, clover meadows, stalks and so forth. Farm pastures need not be perma- nent. The second year clover yields a wonderful lot of forage if it is pastur‘ ed heavily enough and if the live stock - is turned on before it. has made too * rank growth in the spring. ‘ experience we have never found any ‘ pasture in the early sui'hmer that was ‘ superior to a field of clover. ~lv-ides pasture from. the alatter part of aim-nor middle of May to late fall, but .' intense it is desired to have a crop of In all our It pro- seetfrom the clover it should not be Law later than that? limit of July By J.

Pastures have an import- ant place on our farms to fill, both in the coming years of readjustment and in systems of efficient and profitable farming. BALANCED RATION FOR DAIRY ‘ COWS. Please give a balanced, ration for milch cows and fattening steers. I have for roughage, mixed clover and timothy hay, silage, corn fodder, bean pods and oat straw. Grain, oats and rye, molasses, and can get wheat bran at $50 per ton, or dairy feed at $40.per ton, which contains .the followmg: Protein twenty per cent; fats four and a half per cent; crude fibre fifteen per cent; carbohydrates thirty-eight per cent. Will it be necessary to feed cot- tonseed meal with this? It is $80 per ton. Price of oats sixty-six cents per bushel and rye $1.16 per bushel. Sanilac Co. W. G. You have a niCe variety of roughage feeds and by feeding them alternately, that is- feeding hay once a day, and corn fodder once a day, or bean pods once a day, and cat straw once a day, it will furnish a sufficient variety so that the cows will eat it with relish. Of course, corn silage should be fed twice a day if you have a sufficient amount. Cattle never tire of good corn silage for roughage. Part of this ration, however, is deficient in protein. Bean pods are the richest of the foods in protein. Oats, rye and molasses are none'of‘ them very rich in protein, consequent- ly the added grain must contain a good per cent of proteins ,to- give a sufficient, amount to balance the other food nu- trients properly. If your dairy feed contains twenty per cent protein, it is cheaper than other feeds to go with your roughage, cheaper than wheat. bran at $50 a. ton, and it is just as cheap as cottonseed meal at $80 a ton, so it would make little difference whether you bought the dairy feed or cottonseed meal. tion you would only have to feed one- halt‘ as much cottonseed meal to get the same results as with dairy feed. I would suggest that you grind oats and rye, equal parts, and then mix with equal parts of dry feed and it would be a splendid thing to put in wheat bran, especially for dairy cows be. cause it is a splendid food. If you conclude to use cottonseed meal I would only feed to dairy cows two pounds per day.~ Then in order to get a sufficient amount of proteins you could mix the oats, rye and dairy feed equal parts and feed a sufficient amount of this with the two pounds of cottonseed meal to give your cows a pound of grain for every three pounds of milk, if they produce milk above flour per cent in butter-fat or one pound for every four pounds of milk, if she produces less than four percent but- ter-fat. A good ration for dairy cows giving milk is also a good ration for fattening steers. It would make but little differ- ence, but you need not be so cautious about feeding cottonseed meal to the steers. You can feed quite heavily, if you' desire. hrlact, the steer wants all the grain that they will eat up clean because the more. liberal. the rat-ion tthe'greater gains anon will .make. roughage should be feds: liberally and Y0! u yet net to produee'w‘:,; To balancedche raw ”-ar‘eC’v—vrw-‘thww, , .. ii i 1. 19021 Euclid Avenue Wheels on a track—the Cletnc way-take leu power O tTRACTOR .

T- nearly all mm: producers, or dairy nettle breeders associa- flan meetings, the future of the ' dairy industry is one of the leading subjects of discussion. Food produc- tion of every kind is confronted with a set or conditions for which there is no parallel in history, and men accus- tomed to predict production and mar- keting problems inan off-hand manner are slow to commit themselves, or give others advice on how to proceed. Obvi- ously, it is a dangerous moment -for prophecy, most of those venturing into that realm relying on their ambiguity ho protect their reputations. All we know to a certainty is that the world is short of dairy products and that millions of the human family are mnfronted with disease and semi- stnrvation. That thousands of dairy herds in Europe have been destroyed or seriously depleted and that those that have not been depleted are woe- ' fully. short of the feedstuflfs necessary to produce milk. But what the food requirements of these countries may be during the next; two .or three years, measured by their ability to pay pric- es which will pay a margin above the cost of feed and labor charges is a knotty problem. The maintenancc of present prices for an indefinite period seems very ini— probable, yet feed and labor prices must come down before. [here (-1111 be any marked decrease in the price of dairy product's. ,l)ai1-_v farmers of to day are playing the game on a close margin and if prices drop the majority of ihem would reduce production or pocket heavy losses. The problem 01' the inunediate future could be accu- rately-foretold if we really knew the dairy situation in Europe, and What moves might be made on the part of the government 01- private financiers to remedy the present chaotic situa- tion as regards foreign exchange and credits. We know that the people of War ravaged Europe are anxiously awaiting relief, and look to this cou11~ try for the bulk of dairy products to meet their requirements. In speculating on the future demands of the world for dairy products the 1 dilllculties of establishing a. permanent European outlet must be given though-t- ful consideration. England will un- doubtedly be a buyer of American can— ned milk and cheese. The dairv indus- try in Germany has suffemd .severe losses since the beginning of the war. but for many years the national policy of that government has been to pro— tect the live stock interests at the ex— pense of the consumer, excluding for- eign products even by resorting to reg— ulations that matched its doubtful diplomacy. France has aimed at self- sustenance, a policy made possible by the number of small farms and the natural fmgality of its 119011ng and it conditions return there will be but a small demand for dairy products from America. All of the European countries are facing the necessity for enforced econ— omy for many years, and will endeav- or to go on as nearly as possible a self< sustaining basis, an example of what may be accomplished along these lines being afforded by England’s increase in food production during the past four years. France, Belgium and Germany will look to America as an outlet for their manufactured products, but they are sure to avoid any unfavorable trade balances; consequentlythe prod- ncts from these countries will call for locals, rather than dairy products. The Latin countries will have to do the best they can with what means they have on hand. Every dolls-"r sent to Themlarbehet‘mm ”he'Dan-y o; is quite probable that when normal . dairy. products has been [suggested and America 1201': food will be. menus: #10111 the WM ' W m is 4 f. ple‘ in these countries is not credited?) by those who understand the situa—: tion there. Optomistic economists tell us than our own population will consume dairy”: products in sufficient volume to keep; the industry on a high~pressure basis. for years to come as soon as prices reach a. level which will warrant heav-v: ier consumption, but the experience of: has taught dairy- farmers, especially producers of mars the past few years ket milk, that the consumer is a fac: tor not to be ignored.

The excessive cost of distribution of whole milk in our, cities is a problem demanding solution; consumers’ strikes and periodical agi-fi tations for public investigations indi~ cat's public discontent and “stabilized conditions. In some cities 111111: disi tributors have profiteered brazenly. and Consumption has decreased. These" city distributors glibly tell the consume; ers that the farmers are to blame for the prices, ignoring the fact, that they. are getting more for distributing the” milk than the farmer is for ing it. And while on the subject. of; the con- sumption of dairy products, menace to the producer may be pel'ti. nent. The manufacturers of all kinds of substitutes have been active since prices for dairy products have advanc— ed. e111bmcing the present opportunity to clinch the substitute argument. While the dairy farmers have been busy producing canned milk, butter and cheese to ship abroad and feed our army and navy the manufacturers of “nut butter" and oleomargarine have been spending hundreds of thou- sands of dollars in newspape1 advertis~ ing to exploit the merits and cheap— ness of their products. The fact ,re— mains that. these butter substitute 11121n111‘1111iu1‘ers have made substantial inroads, .and that butter consumption per capitu is steadily diminishing, and that a realization of this will come when our export business ceases, and the domestic market is called upon to absorb the bulk of the entire output.‘ Until the prohibition period that pe- culiarly American institution, the sa— loon free lunch, was responsible for the daily consumption of an incredible quantity of dairy foods—«mostly cheese, but it has disappeared forever. The free lunch in our big cities had a. great influence on the prices of cheese. The use of cheese in the average American houshold has been curtailed, and will be slow to regain its normal consump- tion when the era. of plentitude comes around. These are facts that all dairy famers must consider. Likewise, the hotel and restaurant men who have largely increased their net earnings at the expense of their patrons by cut ting down on cheese and other dairy products have dealt a severe blow to the dairy industry. The portions of butter served in hotels and .eating houses have been reduced, and cheese is rarely served in the cheaper restauv rants, so that when condensers and manufacturers of other dairy products have filled all of the export orders they may find domestic needs reduced by this system of parsimony which taxes the consumer-not only emessive 1y for what he gets"; but charges, for what he does not receive.

When pruning the pear remove the sprouts and spurs which are apt to‘ grow thickly on the main limbs near the trunk. If these growths are in- fected with blight it means that the disease can soon reach the main trunk and ruin the tree, while if upper twigs are blighted the disease can often be stopped by pruning out and burning the infected wood. ‘ During the first five years pears are usually pruned heavily to stimulate the growth of wood but after that the annual pruning is reduced so that the ‘ wood developed will have a'chance to harden and be in less danger from the blight. If mature trees are pruned j heavily it will start the growth of an {abundance of new wood and this in- creases the danger of fireblight. Like all other fruits, it costs money to harvest pears and the trees that are allmed to grow straight upright with no effort at training are apt to hear much of their fruit high in the an where it is difficult to pick.

Both in Ger. many and France ‘ the roadsides are utilized to produce productive crops. In France a great deal of the firewood used by the inhabitants is secured from highway trees. These are trim- med up very high and each fall the new shoots which have appeared duro ing the summer are cut and collected into fagot bundles. This is done under the supervision of the National Forest Service of the country.” The trees to be planted under Corn~ missioner Greene’s direction are to be set at intervals of twentyfito forty feet, and he also proposes to plant alfalfa on each side of at least four thousand miles of the eight thousand miles of improved state roads. He figures that the receipts from the hay would pay a part of the cost of maintaining the highways. Some practical New York state farmers, however, are not quite sure that this scheme of state hay farming will prove to be a profitable venture—E. E. R.

I prefer to secure seeds direct from reliable seed houses, rather than to get them from some store. Then, too, if extra early vegetables are to be had from the garden, the plants must be grown in a forcing bed of some sort, or in a sunny kitchen window. With tomatoes, for instance, a semi-tropical plant, it is absolutely necessary to start the plants some eight or ten weeks prior to the time when they may safely set in the open field, if a substantial crop of ripened fruit is to be harvested. Now it is great fun to care for plants and watch them boost along under the influence of rich soil and summer tem- perature while winter still holds all outdoor nature locked fast.

Take a board four or five feet long and bore a hole in each end large enough for small stakes to slip through. Then make anotch in the center of the board. 01‘ course, the location of each tree to be placed in the orchard will be in- board on the ground so that the notch coincides with the stake ‘which has been set for the tree. Then pin the planting board to the ground with the small stakes at each end. The middle stake can now be removed and also the planting board. Dig the hole for the tree and then place the planting board back on the two end stakes. The notch will come right where the tree stake stood before the hole was dug and, of course, that is the place to put the tree. It enables the grower to place his trees upright in straight lines. If the vplanting board is not used it will be difficult to line up the trees even if the holes are in line as one tree will be too near to one side of the hole and the next tree too near to the other side. The result is an orchard which advertises for many years the careless methods by which it was planted. DIFFERENT WIDTH DRILL ROWS AND YIELD. I wish to find out all I can about a grain drill (with disc) that sows four- inch rows instead of seven or eight. Will they work equally as well as the seven or eight-inch on all kinds-of soils? Are they as light draft as the seven—inch in sowing the .same width of land? Do you consider the sewing of grain in the four-inch rows any bet..- farm here in this state? B. N. V. Experiments at the Michigan Agri- cultural College and other experiment stations, regarding the effect on yield of distance apart of drill rows of small grains, indicate that there is no ad- vantage in drilling closer than seven or eight inches, the usual width of standard drills. The tour-inch spac- ing gives somewhat less yield than the usual'seven and a. half, inch width with wheatand oats. ..

F or Economy and Satisfaction— r VERLASTIC ROOF S are the most economical and satis- factory it is possible to buy. They are low in first cost, inexpensive to lay, and very durable. 1‘ hey are satisfactory because they are handsome in ap- pearance, staunch, weatherproof, and highly fire-resistant For your home or any other structure where appearance is essential, no roofing will produce a more artistic efiect than Everlastic shingles. The heavy surfacing of real crushed slate gives them the rich color (red or green) of the natural slate which long ex- posure to the weather makes even more beautiful. They contain no artificial coloring; painting is unnecessary. If you prefer roll roofings, you have the choice of two styles: Everlastic Slate-Surfaced Roofing ( red or green) and the popular Everlastic “Rubber” Roofing. Both are products of the highest quality, suitable for all steep-roofed buildings. Everlastic Roofings offer the biggest value in the roofing field.

When Bryce Cardigan was about fourteen years old there occurred an important event in his life. In a com- mendable effort to increase his income he had laid out a small vegetable gar- den in the rear of his father’s house, and here on a Saturday morning, while down on his knees weeding carrots, he chanced to look up and discovered a young lady gazing at him through the picket fence. She was a few years his junior, and a stranger in Sequoia. En- sued the following conve1sation:“Hel- :10, We buy." “Relic yourself! i ain’t a little boy.” She ignored the (reflection. “What are you doing?” ‘Weedin' carrots. Can’t you see ?” “What for?” Bryce, highly incensed at having 'Illll'lllllllllIlmlliflllilmmfllIlllllllllmllllflllllllllllmllIIHIlllllllllllllllllillllllillllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllmlllllilllmlml Semefhir year's.

He rose and cautiously ap- proached the fence with the intention of pinching the impudent stranger, sud- denly and surreptiously, and sending her away weeping. As his hand crept between the palings on its wicked mls~ slam the little miss looked at him in friendly fashion and queried: “What’s your name 2" Bryce’s hand hesitated. “Bryce Car— digan,” he answered grulfly. “I'm Shirley Sumner,” she ventured. “Let’s be friends.” “When did you come Io live in Se- quoia?” he demanded. “I don’t live here.

I’m [going to finish logging in that district thisfall, so “I’m to keep the mill running, I’ll have to establish my camps on the San Hedrin water- shed right away.” Bryce pondered. “But isn’t it cheap- er to give him his price on Squaw Creek timber than go logging in the San Hedrin and have to build twenty miles of logging railroad to get ybur logs to the mill ?” “It would be, son, if I had to build the railroad. Fortunately, I do not. I’ll just shoot the logs down the hill- side to the San Hedrin River and drive them down the stream to a log-boom on tidewater.” But there isn’t enough water in the San Hedrin to float a redwood log, Dad. I’ve fished there, and I know.” “Quite true—in the summer and fall. But when the winter freshets come on and the snow begins to melt in the spring up in the Yola‘Bolas, where the- San Hedi-in has its source, we’ll have plenty of water for driving the river. Once we get the logs down to tidewa- ter, we’ll raft them and tow them up to the mill. So you see, Bryce, we won’t be bothered with the expense of maintaining a logging railroad, as at present.” . Bryce looked at his father admiring- ly. “I guessDan Keyes is right, Dad,” he said. “Dan says you’re crazy—like a fox. Now I know why you’ve been picking up claims in the San Hedrin watershed." “No, you don’t, Bryce. I’ve never told you, but I’ll tell you now ,the real reason. Humboldt county has no rail connection with the outside world, so we are forced to Ship our lumber by water. But some day a railroad will be built in from the south—from San Francisco; and when it comes, the only route for it to travel is through our timber in the San Hedrin Valley. I’ve accumulated that ten thousand acres for you, my son, for the railroad will never be built in my day. It may come in yours, but I have grown weary waiting for It, and now that my hand is forced, I’m going to start logging there. It doesn’t matter, son. You will still be logging there fifty years from now. And when the railroad peo- ple come to you for a right of way, my boy, give it to them. Don’t charge them a cent. It has always been my policy to encourage the development of this county, and I want you to be a forward-looking, public-spirited citizen. That’s why I’m sending you east to college. You’ve been born and raised in this town, and you must see more of the world. You mustn’t be narrow or provincial, because I’m saving up for you, my son, a great many responsibil- ities, and I want to educate you to meet them bravely and. sensibly.” He paused, regardingthe'boy grave- ly and tenderly. “Bryce, lad,” he said presently, “do you ever wonder why I spare the time to go camping with you in vacation time?” "‘Why don’t you take it easy, Dad? You do work awfully (hard, and I have wondered about it.” “I have to work‘hard, son, because I‘started something a long time ago, when work was fun. .

And it I have succeeded, then you're the unknown quantity, Bryce, because some day you’ll have to take my place; they will have to depend up- on you when I am gone. Listen to me, 301:.

You mustn’t fail the people who work for you—who are de- pendent upon your strength and brains and enterpriSEs to furnish them with an opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When you are the boss of Cardigan’s mill, you must keep the wheels turning; you must never shut down the mill or the log- ging-camps in dull times Just to avoid a less you can stand better than your employee.” His hard, trembling old hand closed over the boy’s. “I want you to be a brave and honorable man,” he con- cluded. True to his word, when John Cardi- gan finished his logging in his old, or- iginal holdings adjacent to Sequoia and Bill Henderson’s Squaw Creek timber, he quietly moved south with his Squaw Creek woods-gang and joined the crew already getting out logs in the San Hedrin watershed. Not until then did Bill Henderson realize that John Car- digan had called his bluff—whereat he cursed himself for a fool and a poor judge of human'nature. He had tried a hold-up game and had failed; a dol- lar a thousand feet stumpage was a fair price; for years he had needed the money; and now, when it was too late, he realised his error. Luck was with Henderson, however; for shortly there- after there came again to Sequoia one Colonel Seth Pennington, a millionaire whiteepine operator from Michigan. The Colonel’s Michigan lands had been logged off, and since he had had one taste of cheap timber, having seen fifty-cont stumpage go to five dollars, the Colonel, «like Oliver Twist, desired some more of the same. On his prev vious visit to Sequoia he had seen: his chance awaiting him in the grad-r «ually decreasing market for redwoodi lumber and the corresponding increase of melancholia in the redwood taper--C ators; hence he had returned—to Mich-t igan, closed out his business interestst ‘ there, and returned to Sequoia on the alert for an investment in redwood tim- ber. From a chair-warmer on the porch of the Hotel Sequoia, the Colonel had. heard the tale of how stiff-necked old.’ John Cardigan had called the bluff of, _ equally stiff-necked old Bill Hender- son; so for the next few weeks the Colonel, under pretense of going hunt-f ing or fishing on Squaw Creek, manag- ed to make a fairly accurate cursory cruise of the Henderson timber-wiel- lowing which he purchased it from the delighted Bill for a dollar and a quar- ter per thousand feet stumpage and paid for it with a certified check. With his check in his hand, Henderson I queried: ‘Colonel, how do ya moss log- ging that timber?” The Wet smiled. “on, I don’t or. tend to log it. When I log tuber, it, has to be more accessible. I’m just gong to hold on and outgame your; x comer prospect, Soho Cardigan. He mode that timber; he has to have it a” no of these an he'll pay me two Mars for it.” {Confined next weekl. ed in these people’s lives uhtil'the oth~ . . . .

It appears that a farmer drin ing a well-known and popular - small. - car had run into and injured a. work- man of the town and was being sued for damages. "The accident had hap- pened about eight or nine o’clock in the evening as the farmer and his farm ily were 193mg for home. The defendant declared that his son , a lad of eighteen—was running the car, that he was driving well within the speed limit cf the city, that the plaintiff had come. out suddenly from a cross stleet riding a bicycle and evidently confused by the lights of the car which, however, were dimmed, he first went one way. and then the other, that the accident was clea1ly unavoid- able on their part and that the plain- tiff was guilty of contributory negli- gence. But the workman’s leg was badly hurt, it would never be quite right again, it might be months or a year or more before he would be able to walk, he had a. family, he was de- pendent on what he earned from day . to day to support them. What would they do? His lawyer brought them in- to the court room and in his final plea to the jury called attention to the tir- ed-looking wife sobbing quietly in her handkerchief, and the three small chil- dren-all under six. The plaintifl’s law- yer took particular care to emphasize on the jury that the defendant was a well-to-do farmer, he had his farm well tooled and stocked—what a contrast to the poor workman.'Theverdict was rendered for $4,000 damages and the - farmer’s savings of a. great many years was almost entirely wiped out. It is not at all unlikely that the poor workman’s attorney had the first slice .or‘ this juicy melon, but the farmer had to place a mortgage on his farm to pay it and one of the boys had to give up the college education he planned. And this coming in the farmer’s de- clining years when it seemed that he was going to be fairly comfortable for the rest of his life. ' There are a large number of such cases, not all where the verdict render- ed is as large as this, but the sympa- thy of a jury-is usually with the party injured or whose property has been damaged and judgments f01 several hundred dollars are not uncommon at all. A large p1op01tion of the fa1mers in Michigan now have automobiles and the use of trucks is increasing very rapidly. For saving time on the road when time is most needed on the farm, in getting perishable goods to market, for saving the wear and tear of road trips on the farm teams, they 1eadily justify their o11g1nal cost and mainte- . nance. It is true, however, that a large num- ber of farmers do not realize the im- portance of having these machines in- sured in some good company. They will insure their houses and barns against fire, against lightning, against. tornado or windst01m They will in. sure then live stock against death 01 disease or accident. It not infrequent- ly happens that losses through auto- mobila’or‘ truck ownership is as. great as the ',"'leS' of the farm buildings or ' live stock. The policies of these com- , panics usually eover fire, theft. and liability. Practically all of the com~ panics havepalso added collision. Some cover Windstorm losses but this‘con- sists principally of a. good talking point t as statistics show that a very few ears a1e damaged to any great extent by wind.

If the farmer mentioned who injured the workman had 'been '. carrying liability insuran/ce the com- ipany wouid' have laud their own utter-l ney defend him, stood all the costs of the suit, and paid the judgment. Automobile thieves, too, have been very active during the past year and made away with a large number of cars, the greater proportion of which were neVei recovered. Especially is this true nearer the large cities Here they work in gangs, taking usually the cheaper popular cars because they find them 'easier to dispose of. Some of these gangs had their own garages that they would run the stolen cars in and by taking off or altel mg numbers, repainting, changing the cushions or other equipment so transform them that the owner himself could not iden- tify his car. Even when a machine, that has been stolen, is recovered it is thief is not the most careful driver in the world. The insurance company will pay for the damage done if a car _ is recovered and the owner wishes it ‘ again, or the company will pay the owner for the car and if it is recover- ed the car belongs to the company. They not only pay for the cars stolen, but for equipment, such as extra tires, tools, ‘etc., which are oftentimes taken. Collision insurance is valuable be- cause it protects against damage done ' by someone else to the policy holder‘s car. No matter how careful a driver: . i a man may be himself, he always stands a certain chance of being run! into and his car damaged by some ir—' I, ‘ responsible fellow driving recklessly. . 4.

But every young housekeeper who has gone into her kitchen from school- room or oflice without preliminary training in her mother’s kitchen or in cooking school, and attempted to “stir up” a light, delicate cake for company, will tell you that the making of real cake is an 5.11, acquired only after long practice. If the Standard dic- tionary definition for cake could be taken literally, “A composition of flour, ents, baked in various forms,” then we might admit that anyone could meet those specifications. But we have been trained to believe that a cake must be something more than a. “composition.” It must be light, delicate, tender, pleas- ing to the eye and the palate. And to get these specifications skill is re- quired. To get best results we must use the best materials, fine granulated sugar, butter, sugar, eggs or other ingredi- Make Cake replenished while the cake is in the oven. If you have an oil or gasoline stove use it for cakes, even in winter. as you can regulate ,the heat better than with coal or wood. - In choosing sugar for cak'es look well to the grain, as a coarse-grained sugar will give a. coarse cake. On the other hand, powdered sugar is undesirable as it gives a. dry cake,-with a 01059, firm texture. A fine granulated sugar is required for a fine—grained cake} Cake flour is preferable as it has been made especially to insure a delicate, light tender cake. Bread flour gives a. thick, tight mixture. If you can not. get cake flour, choose pastry flour. And if you absolutely must use a. bread flour, use a. little less than the usual recipe calls for. As in making bread, absolute clean— liness is a. requisite.

Then the ingredients should be carefully measured or weigh- ed before starting to mix the cake. In the case of the butter it is better to weigh it as it is almost impossible to measure shortening accurately. Flour and soda should be sifted before meas- uring, and after measuring, all dry in- gredients should be sifted together. If you are using wood or coal, be sure that your fire is in good condition and the oven ready. Do not try to bake a cake with a freshly built fire, or one that is nearly out and must be :1: to cookery are necessary, though good cake has been made in a tin basin with a broken-handled iron spoon. For creaming butter 3. wooden spoon with a. slit bowl is handy, and while you can beat eggs with a four-tined fork, you get along faster if you can have a good egg beater. But you must have accurate measuring cups and spoons if you are to get accurate results. You would hardly expect to cut out a gar- ment without an exact pattern and be sure of a. perfect fit. So you can not; expect to have a perfect cake if you measure in a. haphazard fashion. The temperature of your oven de- pends upon the sort of cake.

After a crust has formed a sheet. of light wrapping paper may be laid. over the top to pnevent scorching, 1ft the oven heat can not be reduced. In opening, and closing the oven door, be careful not to jar the cake. ' Unless you have. cake tins With rte-V movable bottoms it is better to line ' the. pan with greased paper than to trust, to greasing the tins.

The yolks must. be beaten until very light and thick, and the whites until day and still The failure of most sponge cakes comes from not bea ting long enough. lt. is a good plan to beat the. whites first. being sure they are dry, time yourself while beating them. and beat the yolks equally as lo 1. Add the sugar to the yolks gradually. b mting all the time, and then add the flavoring. When this is done, out and told in the whites, then cut and fold in the flour.

The mechanical art of ‘ reading” and fingering' ’—and the mental art of playing the music interestingly. One has no connection with the other—except that. notes must be struck by some means before We consider how they shall sound. In fact, until correct striking of notes is accomplished—whether by hand or by mech- anism - only then does interesting music become a possibilty. The Gulbransen starts you off at the point in musical education where perfect command of the piano is accomplished. It strikes the right notes unfailingly. And it enables you to play them in any desired style of shad- ing, phrasing or rhythm. It 05ch every degree of tone Christian Science, Catholic and Gospel Hymns Many a religioul meeting would have better music if the Gulbranum played the hymns.

If you habitually burn or whistle, or keep time to a good march or dance, you are naturally musical. You will play the Gulbranscn interestingly and with improving taste. This is true of the Gulbranscn because its exquisite "pedal-touch” gives you real freedom in producing musical effects—as much as though you played it by hand.

Add the sugar 21 little at: a time, mixing in thoroughly. and then the yolks, which have been thoroughly beaten. Instead of using another dish for this beating, draw the butter and egg mix- ‘ture to one side of the bowl and beat the eggs in the mixing bowl. After adding the yolks, add the milk and sift- ed flour alternately, a little at a. time, beating well between additions, or add the milk all at once and then the flour. To have a fine-grained cake. beat thor- oughly after all the milk and flour are added, and lastly cut and fold in the egg whites, beaten dry.

If cream is plentiful fill the cup with cream after breaking the egg instead of using butter and milk. The following recipe from‘MrSuHill’s . “Practical Cooking and Serving,” gives the best sponge cake I ever tasted— if it is correctly made. Many cooks fail with it, I believe because they do not beat the eggs long enough, and per- haps do not have the fight oven tem~ ‘ perature. “Beat the whites of four eggs with one-fourth teaspoon of salt until dry. Then beat in gradually one-half cup of fine granulated sugar. Beat the yolks the same length of time (b the clock), then beat in gradually a other half- cup of sugar; ~add grated rind and one tablespoonful of the juice of a half orange or lemon; then beat whites and yolks together. Now sprinkle three- fourths cup of flour in little by little. OS’I‘ women fail in farming be. cause they have taken up the Work too hastily or with too lit— tle capital, or because they have worn themselves out at some other occupa- tion before trying farming. The small farm requires neither the fund of strength or the capital of the big farm but cultivated, it will eventually prove to women that toleave the little town or village, with its peaceful quiet, for the perils and struggles that beset one in a big city, thus giving up the assur- ed income of a‘patch of productive ground is a great mistake. There’s money on the farm or vil- lage half-acre for every girl, and the market for music, art, literature, etc, in the city is overcrowded. We can’t all be geniuses and successes and the poor little country girl, filled with eag- er hopes coming to the city, nine times out of ten, unless she marries 01‘ goes home, acquires not success, but ill- health. Back in her country home where the air is sweet, and the foiod plenty, lies the bit. of ground that means health, an income, and inde- pendence. Progressive women all over the coun- try are finding out that, while they may not farm on a large scale unless they be exceptionally fitted for this work, when it comes to a small plat they can make it pay, and pay well. There is no limit to the demand for foodstuffs and all one needs to make the acre pay is an education in grow- ing things, a 'good knowledge of the nearest marketIand a large working capital of energy and grim determina- tion- to succeed. Only a few years ago an eastern woman who had shaken the dust of the city from: her shoes to take a small farm, told me of her success with melons. “You can~ta1k about chicken farm and goose farms and other like places but I believe the melon has all of them beaten as a money—maker,” she: said. I, “I’ve managed to take in a thousand dollars an acre. Of course, I had to work, and work hard, but then you have to work for anything you get. I raise cantaloupes and never fuss with any other kind because I’ve taken the time to learn all about: them. I have five acres and I cultivate all the land I possibly can; and I can make over four thousand dollars a year and still have time to play when the melon sea- son. is over. “My soil is rich and sandy, not good added Baketrom twenty _“ , 'm1nutes”' If these directions are re» ligiously followed you obtain an “Ideal" sponge cake, the name given by the author. The illustration shows several uten— ' sils which help in cake making. That they are not absolutely essential to get fine results, many a housekeeper well ' knows. The cake mixer gives good re sults, and some busy mothers have been known to put all the ingredients in the mixer at once and have a. child do the stirring. The wire tray is fine for cooling the cakes, and those who have used the cream whip next the cake mixer say it is the best they have ever used.- The egg whip in the fore— ground is useful for many things be— sides whipping cream‘ and eggs. It is handy in beating batters, and an in— ventive cook can find many other uses for it. The angel food pan is always inverted while the cake is cooling, giv- ing a lighter cake. DEBORAH. The Women’s Opportunity On The Farm By flddzkazzrmr tilizer. I hire a man to plow and. har- row, and occasionally one to help cul- tivate. I buy the barrels that I use for shipping my melons to the nearest market making my expenses some tWO or three hundred dollars. The rest of the work I try to do myself. I sell to . the dealers direct at so much abarrel and also have a list of hotels and res— taurants that I ship to. “I plant my seeds the first week in May in small hills set a foot deep and _ in well fertilized, well worked loam. I 1'- have my soil worked over in the au- ' tumn and in the spring, and pulverized ' and made light as sawdust. The crop is a swift one and by August we are selling melons by the barrel as fast as we can. I consider it good work for women, and wonder why, when so much money can be made off a. few ‘. . acres, country girls will go to the city and/leave a proposition of this sort.” Another woman I know who lives in Wisconsin claims as hers the hundred or so walnut bearing trees of the farm and from them gets a good income. She gathers the nuts and has them hauled to the cornerib, where with the 1 help of her brother, she runs them - through a corn sheller and then spreads ' them out to dry. City commission merchants pay 'her from $1.50 to $1.75 cents a bushel. She also sells walnut meats to city grocers, getting fifty cents a pound for the broken meats and sixty cents for the whole meats. Of these she sells many dollars worth a year. She also goes into the woods and gathers butternuts and chestnuts,. which she ships along with the wal— nuts. A few pecan trees that were set out a few years ago are just beginning ' 1 to bear a few-nuts and these she hopes will increase, but oWing to the local- 1 ity she is not quite certain of them. -~ ’ .' One girl has just been graduated : 1 from college on the proceeds of her squabs, her lavender bed and her herb ‘ garden. She was sending squabs to the city markets, when one day, visit- ing a city friend, she discovered lav- ender sachets selling in the shops for fifty cents each. When she got home she went out and took ‘a look at the lavender bed just then beginning to bloom. Later on she found her mar- ket and sent boxes to the various cit~ ies near to the farm and slowly and surely builded up .her bank account. . She added sachets of dried rose leaves ‘ and violets and»later began to ship. herbs Which she planted in- a. corner :of ~‘ the farm _. yard' She has 'no' ' some.» the jetty toildbnly failure? .winter, was his Companion trapping. u , ’ ’ mineral“ Not liar m Buffilo live two sisters; who determined to Stay at home and makes mall piece pay. After some deliberation and a good look. at the markets they, decided on ducks and today'they are shipping more ducks to.’ market.than anyone else in their sec- tion. ‘ . One enterprising woman has made a success of trapping animals and sell: ing the pelts. She farmed with her husband until his death and in the Since his death she has found it easy to keep up the work. She cures the pelts herself and‘gets full market price for . them. Her captures are mink, muskrats, weasels, skunks, otters and moles. She loves the work, the keen frosty air, the trampmg over the snow filled woods and hills, and believes it is a good work for women. However, she says to one who would take up the work and succeed, that above all things they must be. without fear and must take time to study the habits of the animals they intend to trap. On a much—traveled road, a farmer’s wife erected a little summer house near the gate and placed all sorts of jelly, preserves and pickles in it on exhibition. A neat sign called the at— tention of automobilists to her ven- ture.- -She has made a decided success and sells large quantities every year, beside securing a very good order trade from city tourists. Breeding Belgian hares and ordinary rabbits for the markets is the venture “I never wrote aired—but I’ve used one .of your outfits a year—so here goes” You may disagree with my i to buy a Western Electric if them all. “Unfair, you may say, for a farmer like me to write an advertisement on Western Electric Power and Light Outfits when I already have one. But is it unfair if I tell the truth? go further and say don’t buy any plant until you have seen That’s what I did.” " Mr. Homing is a farmer near Maiden Rock, Wis. deas, butI am .not asking you you do not believe in it. I’ll ”as”? ' . Too much talk about “liéhh” how about power? "In my case it was several weeks be- fore I realized that in the pulley on my outfit I had a work-horse that was as valuable by day as the light was at night. Now I am convinced that with- out enough engine capacity to take care of power and battery charging at the same time, a farmer is cheated out of a money saving that means heaps. “Of course, I know there are other plants with pulleys, but I do not know whether their engines can take care of an extra load or not. Maybe they (San-— they should. I do know that I got more engine with my plant than some of my ‘ neighbors. But will the engine do the work? of a. girl and her brother who are male ing good at it. The Belgian and Flem- ish hares are bestior meat and the stock from breeders may be bought at $1.00 and $3.00 apiece. The animals eat hay, grass and green vegetables. VVell-fed, the young ones reach market age from three to four months and av- erage five to six pounds live weight. Then there is a southern girl who makes a nice income each year by ship- ping violets to the city markets. and spends hours over her violet beds in order that she may have the finest blooms. An Indiana girl, knowing how folks in the city love hometown flow- 3 ers, gathers wild flowers each year for shipment to a Chicago florist. Vege- table gardens and chicken runs are al— ays paying for women, and bee-keep- ing, now that honey is being used more and more, is another good pin money work for farm girls. However, accord- ing to a big commission man who deals with farmers all over the coun- try, if you want to make money out of your patch it is well to specialize on some one thing, learn all you can about it and bring it to the highest point of perfection, for that meansthe best prices. There are many more ideas one might mention, but to the girl who has a home where“ the air is clear and there are the woods and the hills, I would say, stay where you are and look about you.

With my engine all I need do is fill the oil reservoir about once in two or three months.

I have ten dollars that I want to invest in a, little bus- iness for myself.——J. N. D. . I know of no better way for a boy to start in the poultry business than to buy three or four sitting hens and _ a few hatching eggs from some good dock and raise your own chickens. In the fall you can save a few of your best pullets and buy a good male bird and you will have a good start. As a general rule this will prove far more satisfactory than investing all of your money in two or three birds and not ha‘n'ng anything left to buy sitting hens with, and to buy feed for your. little chicks. Another good way is to buy two sitting hens and forty or fifty baby chicks and avoid the risks of hatching the chicks. In either case you will be getting about all you can get for your money, and assuming less risk. than would be the case if you tried to begin on a larger scale. L. J. M. \ SOUR MILK AND BUCKWHEAT. Will you please tell me the best method of feeding sour milk to young chicks? If fed in an. open dish it be- comes dirty, and we have not been able to get the milk to flow through the water fountains. What is the feed- ing value of buckwheat for the laying hens? Is it equal to wheat? Sanilac Co. B. M. We feed sour milk to young chicks in the commercial sanitary fountains made for that purpose. As the curd separates from the whey the fountains are apt to clog, only the whey flowing out where the chicks can drink it. Then we pour off the whey into a pail where it can be used for the old hens and the chicks eat the curd ravenous- ly. usually cleaning it up from the dish before it becomes dirty. Often sour milk can be fed to the best advantage by using it. in a mash. The growing birds eat it quickly and it seldom becomes dirty. The sour milk fountains for little chicks should be scalded once or twice a week to keep them from becoming scummy and unsanitary. As the chicks grow larger the milk can be fed in earthen crooks, possibly with a slatted trains: over the top to keep the birds from walking in the milk. Buckwheat is not considered as good as wheat for poultry feed but it fur- nishes heat and energy and is often fed mixed with other grains. Buck- wheat hulls have little food value. The middlings from buckwheat contain a high per cent of fat and protein, but . the bran must be ground very fine be- fore being used as poultry feed and we would not consider it as desirable as wheat bran. Buckwheat in poultry ra- tions has been found to help produce white {at and white meat. When this is desired the buckwheat is undoubt- edly helpful in the ration. R. G. K.

W Which of these troubles has injured . your engine? Scored cylinders, burned-out bearings, fouled spark plugs, played-out piston rings, worn cam shaft, loose wrist pins, sticking or pitted valves EPAIR shops all over the United States report that these seven common troubles are responsible for 90% of all delay, “layups” on the road, and re- pair expense. Yet each of these troubles can usually be prevented. Each of them is due chiefly to improper lubrication. the laboratory for years. Finally they evolved the famous Faulkner Process, used exclusively for the production of Veedol, the lubricant that resists heat. Veedol reduces the amount of sediment formed in the engine by 867. This is graphically shown by the two bottles in the sediment test at the left. 'It reduces evaporation between 30% and 70%-—giving long mileage per gallon of oil. Make this simple test—buy Veedol to-dsy Drain oil from crankcase and fill with kerosene. Lsyups and repair bills due to sediment in your oil Under the intense heat of the engine—4200' to 1000' F.——ordinary oil breaks down. Large quantities of sediment are formed which have no lubricating Value and which thin out the remaining oil. ‘ Excess carbon is formed, valves are pitted. The oil film fails to hold. Cylinders and pistons are scored by metal-to- metal contact. The engine over-heats. Bearings burn out. This is the toll taken by sedi- ment in your oil. Run engine very slowly on its own power for thirty seconds. Drain all kerosene. To remove kerosene remaining in the engine, refill with one quart Veedol. Turn engine over about ten times, then drain mixture of oil and kerosene and refill to the proper level with the correct grade of Veedol. A run on familiar roads will show you that your car has new pickup and power. It takes hills better and has a lower consumption of both oil and gasoline.

In common with other industries ‘ dairy farming must accept whatever penalties the coming reconstruction period imposes. Tl'esent prices are naturally ephemeral, and lower prices seem only to be a. matt‘er of time. La.- bor may cherish the futile hope of re- taining all it. has gained, but the dairy farmers should entertain no such fal~ lacious ideas; in fact, there has been a disposition to take a pessimistic view of the future, as indiCated by so many farmers disposing of their coWs and going into other lines of production. That prices may hold up to a fair level for some time seems probable, but for how long no one seems .willing to prophesy. _ Economy in the use of-feeds is im~ perative, homegrown feeds will be- come more popular and profits will come from feeding for heavier milk yields whenever the opportunity pre- sents. Most dairy farmers are in a cautious state of mind, and it is indi- cated by their actions in hesitating to stock up on high-priced grain feeds. The history of the dairy industry shows that while it does not present a short cut to prosperity, those Who con- sistently practice a safe system get reasonably satisfactory 1eturns, while those who conduct the business along hit- and- miss lines 1'a1ely achieve finan- cial success. Those who have kept their good cows, raised the bulk of the food supply and kept abreast of the times will in the end achieve the same measure of success as the efficient ele- ment in other industries. The outlook for the breeder of pure- bred dairy cattle was never more fav- orable. All things point to a. prosper» ous future. For years federal and state extension men, cooperating with purebred cattlemen, have been preach- ing and teaching the value of higher. producing dairy cows, and the import- ance of wiser selection and better feed and care. It is more 1mportant than eve1 that the "low producing-cow” be eliminator] fiom the 119111. Losses from feeding poor animals and profits from feeding good are la12e1' than under pre- war conditions. P1 ices paid for pur ebz ed cattle have advanced comfortably but are in keep- ing with milch cattle price advances. The breeders view the tuture hopeful- ly, as exemplified by the. increased business done by the dairy breed reg- istry associations, and the activity shown by transfers of breeding stock. This does not necessarily mean an in- crease in the number 01‘ purebred cat- tle, but does mean an increased inter- est in the purebred business through- out the country. This- activity comes froml a scarcity of good dairy cattle and to a certain extent from hope in the future of the dairy industry. Pric~ es have not advanced in any greater ratio than they have for many essen- tial commodities. We must expect high prices because one ts of mainte- nance and pioduction have advanced. Even though prices ior breeding stock should recede temperarily if prices of dairy products takea. slump. the farmer who has a. $006 breeding herd will hold a much more strategic position than the crop farmer. Prices for other food products willwrecede as much or more than prices for dairy products and breeding cattle. The man who gave up his pastures to grow grain and cultivated crops will Wish to return to the dairy business,” and, now that he has the money, he will turn to the man who has good cattle to pur- chase his foundation stock. .» .W.

I would also like to know where seed could be, purchased, and also about .tlxefiommmal inoculating system. I have my farm in pretty good shape to grow crops, but 12th clover would not be a success. I am anxious to grow clover, and any information I could obtain through your paper would be much appreciated. Wayne CO. C. D. J. Soy beans may be purchased from any reliable seed dealer. The Wiscon- sin Experiment Station at Madison, VVisconsizn, also issues yearly a list of farmers who have soy beans for sale. This may be obtained free upon appli— cation. There has been such an excep- tional demand for soy beans that near 1y all farmers have sold their seed, and the only available 311er is in the hands of seed dealers. Inoculating soy beans with commer- cial culture has materially increased the yield of soy beans. The culture may be secured from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washing- ton, D. C., from the Michigan Agricul~ tural College, East Lansing. After securing the bottle read and follow the directions given on the bot- tle carefully. These directions call for: 1. Fill the bottle two-thirds full of 2. Place a gauze over the top of bot- tle, and 3. Pour the water over the seed with one hand while the seed is stirred with the. other. Stir until all seed is moist. After thoroughly mixing the seed it is ready to plant. Keep seed away from direct sunlight at all times. Inoculation can be secured for soy- beans, clover, alfalfa or sweet clover (same for both), peas, common beans or cowpeas. I believe you can grow clover suc- cessfully on your soil by following the directions given. if your soil is sour use limestone, tondress with manure, use good seed, inoculate the seed, plant with a drill. compact with a cultipack- or and use a light nurse crop of either oats or rye which should be cut for hay if the soil becomes very dry. You may plant soy beans, plow them under and then plant clover during the fol~ lowing season. The soy beans will place the field in better condition to grow clover. H. W. Unisex-3mm PREVENTING EGG EATING. Our hens have been laying right along, but are beginning to eat their eggs. We have had to sell some on account of this. They have plenty of grit and ground bone, green feed and scratch feed. What can be the rea- son?—J. D. Hens are apt to learn egg eating when they lay in open nests. It pays to have nests which the hens enter from the back. Then the eggs are re- moved by lowering a hinged door in the front. The nests are rather dark and the hen does not readily see the egg she, has laid. At least, the other hens do not bother her or have a chance to scratch the eggs around the nest after they are laid. Plenty of litter in the nests helps to reduce. the number" of broken eggs. Oyster shell is necessary in the ration so the eggs will have firm shells.- There should be a nest to every four hens in the flock as a lack of nests often causes crowding and broken vggS. Hens that are confirmed egg caters can be killed to keep the habit from spreading. Possibly when the hens have dark nests and plenty of’ex- ercise on the open range many of them will stop eating eggs. The fact that hens eagerly eat eggs that are acci- dummy broken on the floor does not prose they,areegg eaters.

The nat- uralization of a person as a citizen of the United States carries with it the naturalization of his wife, and she can vote at the place of her residence though she never took out naturaliza- tion papers. Very likely the law may be changed since women are given the franchise, but that has not yet been done. J. R. R. 'FLOUR ANT: BREAD Foe” FEEDING. What is the value of flour for feeding hogs, and which is the best way to feed it? Would bread be a good feed for cows and horses, and how much may be fed with safety? J. E. M. Flour would make an excellent feed for liogs,veven better than wheat mid- dlings, but usually its value as a. hu- man food would prevent feeding it to hogs. Red Dog flour, which is a by- product from some of the' choicest grades of flour, and very much like wheat middlings, is quite extensively used in some localities.

H. 7 i J Hens are usually resistant to the _‘ v‘ germs of white diarrhea although they can transmit the disease to the chicks . by means of the eggs. White diarrhea .‘F, ‘ ~ in grown .birds can be detected by what is called the agglutination test, but this-can only be done by skilled workers in. a laboratory. Possibly the hens only have common diarrhea which is caused by various digestive disor- ders. . Chalk. deder is a common rem- . edy for diarrhea. Olive oil is also ‘ ’good. A half teaspoonful of paregoric ' given daily may soon cure the trouble. Feather pulling is a habit usually caused by a lack of exercise and faulty feeding methods. Often it spreads rap- idly through a flock when one hen ac- quires the habit. Some breeders have stopped feather pulling by dissolving powdered aloes in alcohol and paint- ing the mixture on the plumage. Usu- ally plenty of meat scraps and green food in the ration will keep hens from the habit if they have plenty of range ‘ and opportunity for exercise.—-R. G. K. SlLO FOR TEN cows.’ Do you think that ten dairy cows are enough for a silo ten feet in diameter, that is, if enough silage can be fed off this way? A. M. In cold weather you can get along very well where you’ only have ten cows to feed from a silo, but when the g weather gets warmer they cannot eat " a suflicent amount to keep ensilage in the best of condition. You could, how- ever, if too much spoils cut it down in the center and feed one-half at a time. A little will spoil on the exposed side which can be thrown out when fed. You can feed ensilage, a certain amount to horses, hogs and chickens, and you will probably also have some young cattle and it might pay you to increase your herd of cows if your sil- age gets too stale from undue exposure.

A bill has been introduced in the house providing for an investigation of the gasoline situation and the reasons for the prevailing high prices. As Hy farmers are among the most extensive consumers of gasoline this measure promises to be of considerable inter- est to them. Senator James W. Wads- worth, of New York, has given assur- ance that when this bill reaches the ‘ senate he will be among those who 3 will do what they can to help out the _ consumers of gasoline. If there is v I' profiteering in this product it is prob- , able» that an endeavor will be made to punish the profiteers, or at least bring about a reduction in price. The high price of gasoline is having a marked influence upon the high cost of produc- i ing farm crops. ’ It isz'not often that we find the meat packers commending any proposal aim- ing at government regulation of their business. .

MICHIGAN JERSEYS Michigan is an ideal place for the raising of Jersey Cattle and there are no better cat- tle for dairying than Jerseys. Jerseys mature early, live long, produce persistently. give the greatest amount of butter-fat obtainable from ev- ery pound of feed. They are hardy and vigorous, always on the job and the greatest mortgage-lifters that ever en- tered a barn. Michigan should have more Jerseys and the Jersey breed- ers of the state are anxious to cooperate with anyone who is interested in success- ful dairy farming.

FAIR. ‘ ‘ess.—-—I have a young horse that Ming?“ some stiff in fore quarters for the past two weeks and would like to know what can be done to prevent permanent soreness. Subscriber, De- catur, Mich—Your horse should be en- ercised, or worked every daY. 1113 food supply should be regulated ac- cording to the work he is doing. Per- haps you have fed him too much- grain when he was idle. Let fresh air into stable and keep his bowels open. With- out knowing what ails him, don’t give him drum first .of‘Qct‘ober one of my pigs took sick. Seine nine days later another t00k sick; Both were very weak, could hardlymalk. The last one that took sick died on November 14. Our local 'Vet. opened it. found large abscess in lung, and both lungs were badly (118-. eased. . The lungs give off a bad odor. The Vet. called the ailment necrosis of the lungs. Is it safe to turn other pigs in this pen next spring? H. E. N., Smiths Creek, Mich—Spread fresh powdered lime on pen floor, and wash walls with fresh lime wash.and you can safely use the pen any time after it has been cleaned. ‘StOma'ch Worms.~——I have some pigs that are troubled with stomach worms and would like to have you give a rem- edy. Z. 0., Marcellus, Mich—Give three grains of calomel and six grams of santonin for each hundred pounds the hogs weigh is a good remedy for intestinal parasites, but for stomach worms, give a teaspoonful of tumor» tine in three ounces of raw linseed 011' daily for three days. This is the proper dose for a ‘shoat weighing eighty to one hundred pounds. Fast the hogs for twenty-four hours if you care to obtain the best results from vermicides and vermifuges. Weeklie's's—éChronic Indigestion. - I have a mare that perspires during the night, coat usually wet in‘ the morning, and her bowels are too loose. My cat- tle are'inclined to chew wood. A. K., Lenox, Mich—Clip your mare, change her feed, let fresh air into stable, feed more oats and well cured mixed hay. Give her a tablespoonful bicarbonate of soda and two tablespoonfuls of pow- dered wood charcoal in each feed. Feed your 'cows some roots and plenty of well-cured fodder, give each one a tea- spoonful of salt, a tablespoonful pow. dered gentian and plenty of powdered wood charcoal in feed once a day. Worms—I have an eight-year-old crinary.’ ‘ ” * . .HARVESTER OIL. *- * ’ THUBAN COMPOUND . AXLE GREASE driving horse with ravenous appetite for feed, but he is weak and fails to lay on flesh. Have fed him plenty of condition powders. Subscriber, Car- sonville, Mich—Give him one dram of santonin, half dram of calomel and one Ounce of ground gentian in bran mash twice a. week for three weeks. His teeth may require floating. Change his feed. Nervous Cow-—Ovarian Cysts.-Our four-year-old cow freshened in Octo- ber, 1919. Was bred back the tenth of February, and again the third of March.’ Since then she has shrunk in her milk, urinates frequently, kicks and rolls and is very uneasy. Her urine is red, walks stiff, but has no fever. Our local veterinarian says she has neither inflammation of bladder or kidneys, but is inclined to believe her ovaries might be diseased. T. B. .P., Custer. Mich—If she gets with calf, she will perhaps recover, but she may.have a cystic condition of the ovaries, if so your veterinarian can doubtless crush them through rectum then she will get with calf. Give her one dram of urotropin (Uritone, Parke, gaViS & 00.), at a dose three times a ay. . Abortion—I bred a two-year-old heif- er; she failed to come in heat again and I. of course, thought her safely in calf, for not only myself, but several neighbors believed her to be in calf. Six months after she was served I sold her to a friend who expected her to soon come fresh, as she surely had ev- .ery appearance of bein in calf. Her udder had seemingly filled, but she soon lost all indications of being with c a v'-\"’(.-i . 1’ ( “iii—"— ”('x. ‘ -7 '-. qty-ll, ./'—E:::': '2' .

It is evidence that the trac- tor has overheated, that the motor has knocked, that fuel has been wasted, that power has been lost; in short, that the tractor has not “kept going” in the field. And if the tractor is to pay the farmer, it must not less time when he needs it most. For continuous and dependable opera- tion there must be no friction between bearing and shaft.

Citizens’ Mutual Automobile insur- ance Co., ' Howell, Michigan. Gentlemen: I wish to thank you for the prompt and satisfactory manner in which you settled my claim. 1 took automobile insurance as I realized that automobile owners were the prey of the automobile thief and, in many cases, unreasonable dam- age claims. On March 4th 1 had the mister» tune to have a traffic accident in which a person was knocked down, suffering serious personal injury. The doctor and hospital bill, togeth- er with the serious nature of the case made this quite expensive. One of your ofllcers co-operated imme- diately in arranging a fair basis of settlement. The people injured as sumed a reasonable attitude when they found they could get their pay by making a fair proposition, and the matter was taken care of With- out litigation or delay. Some of my friends who are in- sured in Stock Companies were greatly surprised that. you can pay your claims so promptly when the cost to the policy-holder for the pol- icy is so small. but i have informed them that. a large company gives quantity production at low cost, and I have no hesitation in recommend- ing my friends to insure in your Mutual Company which has stood the test of five seasons and has al- ways had sufficient money on hand to pay its claims, promptly, and where the injured parties present a reasonable claim I am sure that it will be prmnptly paid, and on the other hand, where unreasonable claims are demanded your (‘ompany is large enough to contest the claim and appeal. if necessary, to the Su- preme Court, so that automobile owners will be treated fairly.

WHEAT Owing to strikes on some of the railroads the movement of grain has been slow. These conditions affect all grains and strength is felt in all. Re ceipts of wheat are light and exporters are anxious to buy. Present prices at Detroit are as follows: Nolll‘ed OIOQIOOIQOICOOO$2168 No.1 mixed ............ 2.66 No.1 white 2.66 No.2red ....... 2.65 No.3red.... .....2.62 CORN Corn values declined Monday but made a rapid recovery and the market closed with a firm tone. At Chicago the: bulls had an advantage at the op- ening Monday, but during most of the day were in distress. At the outset prices jumped to new high marks for the season. This resulted in active Selling which was accompanied by many .disturbing rumors. Higher quo- tations on hogs have also given some strength to the corn deal. Prices on the local market are quoted as fol- covet-00001.67 yellow-no-eeoeeale 1-63 yeIIOWOIOOIIUOOO'Ie 1.69 OATS ‘ Oats are in demand and prices are well sustained.

GRAND RAPIDS j Milling companies advanced the price of wheat to growers this week five cents per bushel. The price now is $2.40 for No. 1 red and $2.38 for: No. 1 white. Egg market is lower, ow- ing to increase in receipts. Dealers now pay 39c per dozen to producers. Eastern buyers are in western Michi- gan this week for Aprils for storage. The opening price is 38c.~ Potatoes are a little higher at $3.25 to growers. Buyers from outside the state have been through western Michigan this week and bought from farmers a large quantity on $3.15 per bushel basis. A few spring lambs were marketed this week at $8 each for Easter. They were dropped in January. Hay is lower at the city market, selling at $25@27 for loose timothy. Farmers have been holding for an. advance but cheapness of baled hay caused little demand for loose hay. A few farmers began pre- paring their ground for sowing oats this week. Scarcity of help may cur- tail the acreage of all crops this sea- son. WOOL There seemed to be a better feeling in the wool trade at Boston Saturday, April 3.

'-—— "\ HE Chicago' hog market went to sleep last week during the strike of the forces employed by the Union Stock Yard & Transit Company, and buyers had to look to other western markets for supplies of hog products, even Chicago being dependent upon Omaha and other points in the west. Wholesale beet prices were boosted sharply, as were all pork products. The strike came at the time when Illinois stockmen were especially desirous of shipping in order to avoid the assess- ment of live-stock on the first day of April. Aside from the strike, the gen- eral surroundings of the hog market have hot’changed very much. Hogs liaVe been marketed liberally, and the supply left is materially cut down. ' Light, bacon and light butchering hogs are as much as ever market toppers, with heavy hogs going-at a large dis- count. The average weight of the hogs reaching the Chicago market is now 239 pounds, being a pound more than a week earlier. and eight pounds more than last year.-—F. BERKSHIRE MEN MEET. HE meeting of Berkshire breeders at the Board of Commerce, Detroit, March 24, was not as largely attended as expected. the nice weather making the farmers think of their work and help shortage. Mr. C. E. Bingham. secretary or the State Farm Bureau, was with us and gave some very good suggestions, which we appreciated; we are for the bureau and will work with them in any way we can as this organ- ization is the hope or the farmer. Mr. E. J. Barker. of Indiana, also gave an interesting and heidful talk along pro- motion and breed lines. Pig club work for the boys and girls was strongly endorsed and we will gladly help in this work any way we can. Showing at state and West Michigan tairs recommended, also the showing at local fairs as far as possi- ble. Public sales also considered as one of the best ways to sell stock and promote breed interest. Llention was made of the fact that the American Berkshire Association had offered fifty dollars for pig club premium at the State Fair, and M. F. Millard. Detroit, altered the same amount; the matter has been left with state pig club officials to arrange. Moses elected were: .7. L. Miller, anaemia, president; W. H.

Citizens’ Mutual Automobile insur- ance Co., Howell, Michigan Gentlemen: I. wish to thank you for the piompt and satisfactory manner in which you settled my claim. I took automobile insurance as I realized that automobile owneis were the prey of the automobile thief and. in many cases, unreasonable dam- age claims. On March 4th 1 had the misfor- tune to have a traffic accident in which a person was knocked down, suffering serious personal injury. The doctor and hospital bill, togeth- er with the serious nature of the case made this quite expensive. One of your officers cooperated imme- diately in arranging a fair basis of Settlement. The peOple injured as- sumed a reasonable attitude when they found they could get their pay by making a fair proposition, and the matter was taken care of With- out litigation or delay. Some of my friends who are in- sured in Stock Companies were greatly surprised that you can pay your claims so promptly when the cost to the policy-holder for the pol- icy is SO small, but I have informed them that a large company gives quantity production at low cost, and I have no hesitation in recommend- ing my fiiends to insure in your Mutual Company which has stood the test of five seasons and has al ways had sufficient money on hand to pay its claims, promptly. and where the injured parties present a reasonable claim I am sure that it will be promptly paid, and on the other hand, where unreasonable claims are demanded your Company is large enough to contest the claim and appeal, if necessary, to the Su- preme Court, so that automobile owners will be. treated fairly.

At Chicago the bulls had an advantage at the op- ening Monday, but during most of the day were in distress. At the outset prices jumped to new high marks for the season.

HE Chicago' hog market went to sleep last week during the strike Of the forces employed by the Union Stock Yard & Transit Company, and buyers had to look to other western markets for supplies of hog products, even Chicago being dependent upon Omaha and other points in the west. Wholesale beef prices were boosted sharply, as were all pork products. The strike came at the time when Illinois stockmen were especially desirous of shipping in order to avoid the assess- ment of live-stock on the first day of April. Aside from the strike, the gen- have nO‘tmchanged very much. Hogs haVe been marketed liberally, and the supply left is materially cut down. are as much as ever market toppers, with heavy hogs going=at a large dis- count. The average weight of the hogs reaching theChicago market is now 239 pounds, being a pound more than a week earlier, and eight pounds more than last year.—F. BERKSHIRE MEN MEET. HE meeting of Berkshire breeders at the Board of Commerce, Detroit, March 24, was not as largely attended as .expected, the nice weather making the farmers think Of their work and help shortage. Mr. C. E. Bingham, secretary of the State Farm Bureau, was with us and gave somevery good suggestions, which we appreciated; we are for the bureau and will work with them in any way we can as this organ- ization is the hope of the farmer. Mr. E. J. Barker, of Indiana, also gave an interesting and helpful talk along pro- motion and breed lines. Pig club work for the boys and girls was strongly endorsed and we will gladly help in this work any way we can. ShoWing at state and West‘ Michigan fairs recommended, also the showing at local fairs as far as possi- ble. Public sales also considered as one of the bestvways to sell stock and DmmOte breed interest. Mention was made of the fact that the American Berkshire Association had offered fifty" dolrars for pig club premium at the State Fair, and M. F. Millard, Detroit, offered the same amount; the matter has been left with state 1718' club officials to arrange. ‘ 0mm Williams: J. L. Miller, .
