NOW that the several stretches of





unimproved roads have been put



_ into condition to bear heavy

traffic, practically connecting up the

main trunk lines between central Mich-

igan points and Detroit, farmers "in sev-

eral communities are beginning to

study the problem of utilizing motor

trucks for marketing farm produce of

all kinds, including live‘ stock. The

truck'has already demonstrated its vai-

ue and efl‘icienCy in the fruit-growing





Jand trucking districts where prompt

, marketing is ‘one' of- the first essentials





of success. As it happens, the com-

"mercial' fruit-growing and trucking

regions of the state are fairly well

Served as regards good roads; because

the character of the soil in these dis-

tricts. renders the problem of main-

taining dirt. roads comparatively easy.

Mohg some of the main traveled roads

in central Michigan the soil conditions

are vastly different; besides, on some

oi? these trunk lines the traffic has

-, how so heavy during. the past three

or four years asyto render the unim-

proved stretches almost impassable at

times. It is a well known fact that

the load hauled by a motor truck can

be no” greats than it will carry over





pthe portion of the roads that are in

, ‘2’the worst condition.



_ Outside of a few months during the”

on the railroads for short hauls, which.

include additional delivery charges af-

ter the products reach the city termi-





nals. Every Well-posted farmer and

market expert realizes the necessity of

providing means other than the 1ail-

1oads for transporting the faim p10-

duce of the Country, especially if some

of the grasping middlemen are circum-

vented on the route.



Before the motor truck 'can success-

fully replace the present system of

freight and express shipments it is‘im-

portant that considerable educational

work be done to familiarize the farm-

ers with the problems of packing, grad-

ing and classifying their products so

that they may be shipped direct to the

trade, or through as few channels as

possible before they reach the home





live poultry shipments result in great-





er losses to shippers than any other te





products of Michiganfarms. This prob-

lem could easily be solved by having

cooperative packing stations in various





communities where the eggs and fowls





could be assembled, graded, packed

and classified so that they would be

1eady to ship through direct to buyers

by motor truck. I believe that I am

conservative in saying that such a sys-

tem of sales and distribution" of poul-





try products would save more than ,

two million dollars to the farmers of





Michigan every year, beSides with a





proper sales organization- to handle





the 'ezzs and i’oWls there would be no

shippers

ter of prices and losses due to break,

age and shrinkage on \the road to the

market.



Further benefits of such a coopera-

tive system of handling and selling

poultry products would be that of en—

couraging farmers to keep better-bred

flocks and to produce more uniform

products. A few farmers will claim

this is small business, but right here

I want to say that under such a system

of cooperative marketing, aided and





.supported by several good field men





from ‘the agricultural college at East

Lansing the poultry industry in Mich-

igan‘would easily outstrip every other

single line of farming. The Michigan

Farm Bureau will be overlooking one

of its best bets if it neglects to feder-

ate the poultry interests of the state,

Show them the benefits to be derived

from cooprative selling, breeding bet-

r fowls and shipping their products

direct to the city trade, rather than

produce mixed lots of inferior products

and accept anything the city dealers

and their country agents see fit to

offer. With the present trunk lines

and new roads being completed there

is absolutely no reason why the poul-

try interests should not be organized

for better production and more busi-

nesslike methodsof marketing.



With an adequate system of trans—

portation and marketing for poultry

products, growers of small fruit and

vegetables would find‘ it possible to

utilize the system for handlnig their

products which in the aggregate

amount to thousands of dollars ,'annu»

ally. People who live in large cities

frequently complain that farmers neg-

lect to harvest a~porii0n of their small

fruit and truck crops, but the fault is

with the system of shipping and dis-

tributing rather than with the farmers

themselves having a disposition to al-

low their produce to spoil. Given the

proper means of shipping su‘ch small

products to market and 1118 amount of

waste fruit and produce 0n the farms

would be a negligible quantity. The

express companies have been tried and

found wanting, but motor trucks can

solve the problem. But first of all

must come some sort of an organized

effort on the part of farmers them-

selves to provide means of collecting

the stuff at some particular point in

sufficient volume to insure a load at

the time shipment is to. be made.



Another problem confronting farm~

ers who are developing such a system

is that of securing return loads for the

trucks. This is a matter that requires

more or less pioneer work in. familiar-

izing patrons With its uses and advan—

tages. In many cases such a service

demands an assembling station where

the truck can be loaded for the return

trip with as little delay as possible.

Practically every failure to make the

return load profitable has resulted

from depending upon the driver to

spend too much time doing pick-up

work in the city.



The marketing of live stock affords

a profitable field for study and investi-

gation in the use of motor trucks for

marketing. The shipping of carloads

of mixed animals, always a perplexing

problem, is easily solved by the use of

large trucks. Besides the losses due





'to overcrowding and injury are mini-l

, for Eastern Michigan, ,

‘ issued a restraining order against the





enforcement or the finding of the fed-

eral fair price committee by which the

retail price of milk in Detroit was re-

duced to fourteen cents per quart on

Tuesday of last week, on the ground

that Section 4 of the Lever not under

which the committee operated is un-

constitutional. Later, this temporary

injunction was made permanent to

facilitate an early appeal to the Su-

preme Court of the United States. In

the meantime the old milk price as

fixed by the Detroit Area Milk Com-

mission was reinstated and a heavy

cut in the price to producers was

avoided.



In the meantime it was reported

that shipments were withheld by

many individual producers, resulting

in a decline of about ten per cent in

the receipts of market milk. which in-

dicates the attitude of producers to

word an unjust and unwarranted re-

production costs are at the highest

point in the history of milk production

in this state.



What the final outcome of the pend-

13‘ the Copper-Hartman tamers’ col-

_ . lectlve bargaining bill is ever re-



ported out of the House Judiciary

Committee, it will undoubtedly be re-

vised to such an extent that the auth.

ore of the original bill will hardly rec-

ogniZe it. Representative Andrew J.

Volstead, of Minnesota, chairman of

the judiciary committee, has prepared

a tentative bill which he hopes will be

a, satisfactory substitute for the Cap-

per-HeI-Sman bill. giving the farmers

a law that will meet their demands,

without certain objectionable features

the committee is said to have found in

the original measure.



Mr. Volstead’s bill is designed to





authorize by law the aslsoclation of'





producers of agricultural products. It

provides that farmers may act togeth-

er in associations, corporations or oth-

erwise, with orwithout capital stock,

in collective processing, preparing for

market, handling and marketing in in—

terstate and foreign commerce the

products of their members, provided

that each member has an equal voice

in the managemm‘it of his association

lrresDectiVe of the amount of capital

he may have contributed thereto, and

that no one is entitled to be a, mem-

ber or to share in the profits of the

assmiation unless he is a farmer en-

gaged in the producticm of agricultur-

9.! products, and also providing that

the association is for the mutual help

of its members and not for profit upon





the property of the association or upon

the stock or share owned by members,

and such profit shall not exceed seVen

per cent annually upon the amount in-

vested.



ll’ the secretary of agriculture should

have reason to believe that any such

association, either by reason of its size

or because of the form of its organi-

zation, or the methods used by it in

carrying on its business, is monopoliz-

ing or restraining trade or lessening

competition to such an extent that the

price of any agricultural product is

unreasonably enhanced by reason

thereof, he shall serve upon such as-

sooiation a complaint stating his

charge in that respect. A hearing shall

be had. not less than thirty days after

the service of the complaint, requir-

ing the association to show Cause why

an order should not be made directing

it to desist from its monOpolistic prac-

tices. If upon such hearing the score-

tary of‘ agriculture shall be of the

Opinion that the association is monop-

olizing trade to such an extent that

the price of any agricultural product

is enhanced thereby, he shall direct

such association to cease therefrom,

and may order that it reorganize in

such manner as the Secretary of agri-

culture may deem necessary. The De-

partment of Justice is to have charge

of the enforcement of the secretary of

Hl'l New York Canning Crops

Cooperative Association, organ—

ized by county branches in the

principal canning crop counties of the

state, is a just answer of the growers

to the canners, who for many years

have maintained a state organization

and at all times have known exactly

what they wanted. Until the present

season the growers as individuals

have made contracts with an organ-

ized class. Since the infancy of: the

business with the canning factories

the growers of fruits and vegetables

have been at a disadvantage. Con-

tracts liave been made at the dictum

ot’ the canners. Payment for the crops

has nearly always been held up until

late in the fall or winter when the fins

ished products were sold by the can-

ners. In a sense, this has made the

farmer carry much of the capital rep-

resented in the industry. Contracts

with the growers have not been uni—

form on the same items grown under

similar conditions and some minor ir-

regularities have crept in on seed dis-

tribution. .

. That these evils, many of which

were not. so pressing in the infancy of

the business, might be remedied the

groWers have started a movement

which is rapidly sweeping the state

and many look. for its extension far

and wide outside of New York. While

often the growers have received fair

pay for most of their crops, they have

always been obliged to take whatever

the canners have offered. They have

never had any opportunity before this

year of negotiating a price for such

crops as peas, corn, string beans, etc.

It is the general belief that when

the organization becomes fully opera-

tive the canners will rejoice also in

the new movement, as under old con-

ditions the factory interests had a

multitude of details incident to the





planting of the crops nesu'ea to look

after, which will now be taken over by

the growers’ organization. Instead of

the many individual contracts the can-

ners will deal directly with the county

branch, thus eliminating the bulk of

the routine work, no member of the

association being expected to sell his

crops except through the central coun—

ty agency. In each county there is a

central organization which will repre—

sent the growers in all transactions

with the canners. In so far as possi-

ble the contract. prices will be uniform

throughout the state, though slight

variations will be in order to meet dif-

fering conditions under which the

same crops are grown. However,

there will be no more wide differences

in price for the same crop, which on

the item of tomatoes varied from eight

to ten dollars per ton in adjoining

counties last season with cultural con-

ditions about the same in both sec-

tions.



Allowing for slight fluctuation, due





to local conditions, here is the sched'

ule or scale effective between grower

and canner for/the 1920 season: Peas

are to be graded into five classes,

with the price of each class as fol—

lows: N0. 1, ten cents per pound;

No. 2, eight cents per pound; No. 3,

three cents per pound; Nos. 4 and 5,

two cents per pound. The grades oi

peas are decided by sorting and grade

ing one hundred pounds from a given

lot. By the terms of the agreement,

the canners will guarantee to pay at

least $81.75 per ton for Early June

peas, and $76.25 for Sweet Wrinkle

peas. Added to these minimum prices

to the growers, will go as much more

as the grading indicates. The peas

are to be weighed as cleaned by the

squirrel cage cleaner. (“aret‘ul compu—

tations made from the records of 19l8

the pea grower, and both he and the

canner lost money, and lots of it, on

peas. Because of these facts, the can

ners negotiated with the association

for a considerable increase on the

price of last year. The aSSOCiation

in turn agrees to renew a generaljna

terest in the crop and gives assurance

of the desired acreage.



For tomatoes, $22.50 per ton‘willjhe





paid. though some counties are bold

ing out for $25. This item perhaps





has caused more controversy than all

the others combined as growers in

Monroe and one or two other counties

stomly insist that no profit can be.

realized at this figure. In support or

this contention the dissatisfied grow

ers call attention to the much higher

scale prevailing in Maryland, Dela»

ware and New Jersey, where contracts

have been made at $30 and $35 a ton-



For sweet corn, $28.50 per ton on a

husked basis will be paid, husks to be

returned to grower if desired. In some

districts it is customary to buy sweet

corn at a stated price per gross ton,

with husks and ear together. Most

gmwers are coming to believe it fairer,

to sell on a husked basis. By this

method the man who not only grows

gOod crops, but is careful in selecting

and breaks the car off close, thus mar-

kcting a minimum amount of stalk,

receives pay for the actual corn he

delivers. The man who is careless and

indifferent in. his work also receives

what his coin is actually worth. When

sold on a gross tonnage basis, the

good grower virtually is penalized and

the poor grower rewarded.



While heretofore the growers have

received their pro rata of ensilage

from peas free, under the new sched-

ule! of prices they will pay two dollars

per ton for silage and one dollar per

ten for spoiled silage. About two tons

What About the Future of Orcharding in 'Michigani’

‘ ()ME years ago the small orchard on the general farm in Mich-

fixed in the minds of our farmers that many cannot forget it

Times have changed, however. There are fewer orchard men,

production costs are high, and naturally prices are up. Coupled

with these considerations, the marketing process is better, due to

organization and more efficient distribution. The bugbear of over-

production is apparently over the horizon, out of immediate sight.

Some of our fruit associations are in the million-dollar class re—

garding sales and the people eager to buy.





It is not my intention to argue that farmers ought to rush into

the orchard game; that would be folly. The idea is worthy of

the most serious study. To make a mistake in attel’npting to es-

tablish an orchard business is costly and not easily corrected.

Many times it can not be overcome. The pity is that some men

and companies rush in where angels fear to tread. In the first

place there ought to be a real regard for the business; you might

say a love of the game. Then in addition, a good knowledge of

all the details of production and sales is more or less necessary.

SHCh knowledge would prevent the too frequent mistakes of poor

location. wrong selection 01' varieties. and underfinancing.





Michigan has the reputation of being able to produce fruit

with quality. Her name for packing has been poor but is rapidly

improving. We are not growing anywhere near the amount of

fruit which we might. The gist of the matter is that there are

i might name many instances where a few trees of a regular‘

orchard had paid big returns. Equally easy it would be to quote

cases of failure. Figure for yourself what a production of two

hundred bushels of apples per acre would mean. That is a con

conditions are beyond the power of‘ man to combat; but we wish

it was more generally understood that information is available

to formulate orchard practices capable of getting satisfactory re«

turns in an average year.

The Farmer Must Be Just.





The most important thing in this

whole plan is that the farmer must be

just and fair. He has the. power but

he must be just or the whole plan will

fail. Agricultule is a basic industry

Food products are fundamental to do

existence of the world and it is neces-

sary that they be furnished to the peo.

ple of the world at a reasonable cost

and the farmer has no right, if he has

the power, to demand exorbitant

prices. He must, through this organi-

zation, reason Ont year by year and

period by period, what would be fair

and just and then he must not step

over this line else he will become just

as bad as the food combination that

forces him to sell cheap and forces the

consumer to pay dear.





Cost " of Production Necessary.





in order to place the farmer’s prod-

ucts on the market at a just and

equitable price, we must know to a

close approximation the average an

llual Cost. I conceive that this is the

duty oi? the (Bounty Farm Bureau an

der the supervision of the county ag-

ricultural agent. A careful accounting

system should be put in force in ev-

ery county of the United States so

that the farmers could show to the

world that they were not profiteermz

unjust~-—tltat they were simply do

manding that they receive proper re»

lnunemtion. ‘





This data about cost should be fur-

nished to the. State and National Farm

Bureaus and l conceive it to be their

duty to largely regulate the food sul)’

The farm bureau is the only farm-

ers’ organization ever attempted, or or-

ganized on a sufficiently broad basis

to properly handle this proposition,

and I believe that this organization.

The American Farm Bureau, will ulti~

mately work this entire proposition

out satisfactorily to the farmer and to

the consumer. Of course, it will not

be satisfactory to a certain class of

butter and condensed milk was rapidly

increasing and was the cause of much

alarm among the dairymen in this

country. " The war changed all this,

ily worth 28.06 cents, are now valued

at 15.10 cents. . . ' -

Before the war, England importe

much butter and cheese from Den-

mark, Holland, and other countries

where dairyi'ng was an important in-

dustry. Her impbrtations in butter

alone just before the war were half. a

England is still on a butter ration, with

the price fixed by the government. At

present she imports only two hundred

_million pounds—Jess than she former-

ly imported from Denmark alone—and

most of this comes from her colonies.

So the British'lsles, as an outlet for

Europe’s surplus of butter, holds forth

little promise at present. ,

'This condition, combined with the

drop in exchange rates, drew the atten-

tion of European dairymen to America

The world war created entirely new demands upon the Ameri~

Following the signing of the armistice the old problems again





reappeared in new form.





A greatly depreciated tel-eign exchange finally kills all hope of

continued exportations of American dairy products, but en-

courages importations from Denmark while Danish dairymen

go to countries where exchange is low to buy feeds.





American dairymen must meet the situation through more eco-

_ nomic production—cheaper feeds, and better coWs—~and dis-.





tribution. “

“Cheap land and cheap labor have

of H. W. Norton, 112, as field secre-

for memberships in Michigan has so

far resulted in about elzhteen hundred

memberships being paid in, with two

or three meetings yet to be held.

Michigan / breeders generally are

much elated at their good fortune in

being able“) enlist the services of a

man so thoroughly conversant with

their needs and so well and favorably

summer he was elected one of the

directors of the National Holstein Ass

His work as chairman of the sale

committee that handled the Michigan

Holstein breeders first annual sale last

January, needs little comment. An

inspection of the results of the sale

when seventy-three head brought $60,-

980, or an average of $885~~per head,

surely confirms the belief that Hol-

stein matters are his special province.

After graduation from Michigan Ag-

six years in live stock experimental

and instruction work at that institu-

tion, leaving the college in 1909 he re—

turned to the home farm and in his

own community he was always found

in the lead in managing high-class

sales, boosting for better sires, heal-

thier herds and in fact, any progres-

sive 'movement in live stock circles

found him one of the moving spirits.

Since 1917 he has been assisting Dean

Michigan breeders.



Mr. Norton will be located in Lan-

after May 1 in the old State Block.

Plans have already been made for pro-

moting high-class sales semi-annually

in May and October at various points

within the state.

will be exceeded. Speculation only

temporarily affects prices, for one

speculator has to lose for another to

win, and ultimately prices equalize

themselves. The main point to be

considered is that restrictions of ev-

ery kind that would limit legitimate

trading should be removed.

where pneumatic tires have been used

to insure smooth riding the results

have been far more satisfactory than

express shipments. The return of egg

crates, coops and other boxes and

the present conditions surrounding our

transportation systems are almost in-

tolerable for shippers of small lots of

farm produce. The motor truck can

solve many problemS, but not until we

study the problem from all sides and

endeavor to cooperate and devise

means of fitting it into our present

system of marketing and distributing

farm products. Or, putting it the oth—

er way, I might say that we must en-

deaVOr to cooperate and develop a sys‘

either case the use of motor trucks.

Hay harvested by the

Dsin system .means

more dollars'in profit

whether you market

your hay or feed it.

The Dain [System Rake

enables you to, use this

system. '





WHEN we know just

- , where a leak is, we

ought to be able to stop

‘it easily.





There is a big leak in .hay

profits. ,7 The 13.8. Depart-

ment of Agriculture says

so. It says that only 10

per cent of the annual hay

crop grades choice. .Only

from so to 30 per cent

grades No. 1.“ And 60 per

cent grades No. 3.





Where the Leak in

Hay Profits ls-





We all know what “choice" hay

is when We see it. It is bright

in color, sound as to foliage,

fragrant, and full of nutrients.

It is relished by live-stock and

easily digested. It brings the

top market price when you sell,

and, it gives maximum returns

when you feed it.





We all know What No. 3 hay is

when we see it. It is “off color."

It has lost much of its foliage.

It is tasteless. Stock will not

eat it readily. And it carries

but little nutrition, in proportion

to its non-digestible fiber. It is

all right for stall litter, but it is

very unsatisfactory for feeding

or selling. Its market price is

about $10 a ton less than that





. of choice hay.





The big difference between

choice hay and No. 3 hay is

mainly a matter of curing. The

'leak in hay profits is in incorrect

curing methods. '





. Curing in the Swath





is Costly





Letting the hay lie in swaths to

cure under a hot sun is the

method that frequently causes

the big loss. And here is the

reason: .





You have noted that hay, when

cut by the mower, falls back in

a position similar to shingles on

a roof, with the heads and leaves

exposed to the sunshine and the

stems underneath in the shade.





W0 hours of hot sun-

shine sears the exposed





leaves and stops the process ‘





of draining water from the

plant. The pores in the

leaves are closed and the

water is sealed up inside

the stems. The sun con-

tinues to shine on the heads





"and leaves until the water





is slowly steamed out





through the ‘stems. The





leaves are sunbumed long

before this unnatural proc-

ess has continued until the hay

will go into stack or mow with—

out Spoiling. They will crumble

betWeen your finger and thumb.

Many of the leaves fall off in the

process of raking and stacking or

loading and storing. The hay

does not have the color, the fra-

grance, the palatability, the diges-

tive qualities nor the nutrition of

the “choice” or .the No. 1 grades

cured in the proper way.





Use of the Dain System

_Stops the Leak





By doing away with the old-

style .method of swath-curing,

and using the Dain System of

Air-curing Hay, many hay

growers have stopped the leak

in their hay profits. They are

making "choice” or "No. 1” bay

instead of the lower, unprofitable

grade that they used to make.





The Dain System is called

“Nature’s Way of Curing Hay."

It puts into practice the prin-

ciple that properly curing hay is

merely taking the water out of

the hay rapidly and efficiently

while keeping the nutrients in,

and that the best way to accom-

plish this is to let the water

pass out of the plant in the nat-

ural way.





Water leaving a plant in the

natural way passes out through

the leaves in the form of per-

spiration. Examine a blade of

green hay under a microscope,

and you will see little drops of

water oozing out all the time.

How rapid and thorough this

natural process is can be best

understood when one remem-

bers that from 200 to 400 tons

of water per acre are utilized

in maturing a hay crop.





HE Dain System Rake



was built for the special

purpose of handling hay

while it is still green. Using

this rake, you follow the

mower before the sun has

had the opportunity to seat‘

the leaves. The rake picks

the hay up while the leaves

are Still active and delivers it

on clean stubble in a medi=

um - sized, loose windrow.





The action of the rake places the

bulk of the leaves on the shady

inside, and the stems on the

sunny outside of the windrows.

The windrows, being loose, air

passes through freely. The

leaves continue to function nor-

mally in draining water rapidly

from the plant. More quickly

and with less labor than in

swath curing, the hay is ready

for the staCk or mow. And only

by this method of curing can

hay be given the feeding quali-

ties that bring you the greatest

returns when you feed it or

when you sell it.





Find Out all About

the Dain System





Don’t fail to find out about the

Dain System and the Dain Sys-

tem Rake before your next

haying season begins. Make it

the means of stopping the leak

in your haying profit.





Ask your John Deere dealer to

show you this rake. He will

show you how easily it works—

how its operation makes the

Dain System of air-curing hay

the simplest, as well as themost

profitable method that youcan use.





Note the inclined frame that. distin-

guishes the Dain from other rakes of

its type. You will find that this in-

clined frame is as important as a

properly-shaped moldhoa rd onn plow.

The frame is low at thefront end

and increases in height toward the

rear—its capacity increases as the

volume of hay increases. The low

front end is set slightly ahead of the

tooth bars, causing the hay to come

up against the frame and pitch for-

ward in the loose coil that character-

izes the Dain way—the way that puts

the leaves inside, the stems outside,

and allows plenty of air to pus

through the windrow.

The migratory bird act of 1918, de-

signed for the protection of migratory

birds, was held constitutional by the

supreme court the other day. The





statute Was attacked by Missouri au- .





thorities who alleged that it was in

conflict with the sovereignty of the

state. This decision will be hailed with

delight by all bird lovers.



That there will he a bitter fight

over the methods proposed for raising

the funds to pay the soldiers’ bonus,

is indicated by several clashes that

have already occurred during the dis-

cussion of this proposition. The House

Ways and Means Committee recom-

mends a. tax of one-half of one per

cent on all purchases. Some congress-

men profess to see in this a scheme

to substitute a sales tax, tor the ex‘

cess profits tax, thereby unloading the

burdens of the government directly

onto the shoulders of; the people.

These representatives insist that a

retroactive tax should be levied on

war profits of the men who were en

riched by the war.



Representative Rainey of Illinois,

presented estimates submitted to him

by the treasury department, showing

that sixty-nine thousand men made

more than three billion dollars in ad‘

dition to their normal income during

the war. and figures from the internal

revenue department showed that twen—

ty-one new millionaires were created.





As congress seems unable to cut

down government. expenses to fit the

income, it is evident that various at-

tempts will be made to devise means

d taxing the people other than those

now in use, and it will be well far

folks on the farms as well as else-

where to keep close watch on the pro-

ceedings of congress. The government

is now spending nearly two million

dollars a day, the total for the year

ending June 30, being estimated at

$6,750,000,000.

departmentsare continually asking for

”more. One senator, in' speaking on

the army appropriation bills, said that

“our appropriations for agriculture and

for many other worthy objects were

cut to the bone, apparently because

they had no paid bureau of lobbyists

to urge their cause.”



If there is anything which will force

congress to take action on some of

the demands made by the farmers, it

is the present and prospective food

situation. The inability of the farmers

to compete with the railroads, mines,

factories and .buildinghtrades in the

depleting the farms of labor. Asslst~

harvesting and belt work. One man operates

both the tractor and the implement. The operator _

Sits in complete safety in the usual place— on I

the seat of the implement. / '7

The work is always in plain sight—no looking b

backward. Tractor and implement form one - . i .

unit— can back and turn short.





These indispensable features are particularly



. profitable at harvest time, when one man instead



of two can cut the ripe grain at the rate of 40

acres in 10 hours.





 





 





 





The necessity for saving time and labor IS the

greatest consideration before the farmer today.

"Er what xlzall, it pmfit a man if I}: shall





gain t/ze w/wle mm, and lose his own soul ?”





HIS verse is often heard preached on. in the church. And '





whether preached on or not, it strikes home. There is both

point and edge to it. it the reader'will give these words half a.

chance, they will take hold of the conscience. For we have all

thought on the time when we would own this and that, have so





_ much interest money coming in every six months, or the income

.'; train so much land. finding its way into our pockets every fall.





But our Lord says that while all these things may be all right. in





. themselves, there is a danger in it. And the danger is that we





shall be so busy with business and getting ready for a sunshiny old

age, that the immortal pelt of us shall be starved to death. The

soul has to be fed, as well as the body. And the man who has





"succeeded in gntherlng together considerable property, but whose





soul nature has become dwarfed and shrlvelied is to be found in

m08t cornmunities.



The danger of this has recently been spoken on by two Ameri‘

can business men. in a surprising way. They go at it with all

their might. The “Manufacturers Record" is taken and read by

thousands of business men all over the United States. Its editor,

is Richard B. Edmonds. Listen to a few sentences tram a. recent

editorial from Mr. Edmond’s pen: “Above all else, this nation

needs a nationwide revival of old-fashioned prayer meeting relig-

ion.” That sounds like the person doesn’t it? But it isn't. It is

from the pen of an astute business man. Here is another sen~

tence: “The country needs a religion that makes men realise that





if there is a. heaven there must also of necessity be a hell, a re





ligion that makes men realize that every act is recorded on his

own conscience. and that though it may slumber it can never die.

We need a revival of religion which will make every man and

woman strive in every act of life to do that which on the great.

Judgment Day they will wish they had done, as with soul uncovA

cred they stand before the judgment seat of the Eternal." That

is putting it straight, but mt a. whit more straight than it should

be. If Jesus Christ really is the Way, the Truth and the Life,

ministers are not the only ones who should say so. Business men

should say so. Farmers and factory men should-' say so. And

there will be a new birth of happiness, fraternity and peace in the

land. 1 ‘



But we must turn to the other man referred to. That is Mr.

Babson, of Boston, generally admitted to be the greatest author-

ity on business conditions in America. In his “Barometer Letter

to Merchants, Bankers and luvestous,” Mr. Babson recently said:

“The need of the hour is not more legislation. The need of the

hour is more religion.” “It is one thing to talk about plans and pol-

icies, but a plan and policy without a." religious motive is like a

watch without a Spring or a body without the breath of life.”

That sounds pretty preacherfied doesn’t it? Sounds as it. does

when you drop off into your first dose, «during the sermon. But it

is time to quit dozing during the sermon, and to take the words of

the Son of Man seriously. What shall it profit a man, to get things

nicely arranged for his comiort in old age and for his children,

and then to slip off into the great beyond and have no hope for

what lies ahead? And it is not a. matter of the great beyond, only.

This life has to be lived, and without religion and morality it

would be chaos. Withouthonesty on the part of business men.

there could be no business. Back of business and industry lie in-

tegrity and honest purpose. Back of that lies some source, some-

where, of this integrity and purpose. And what is that but the

Bible, the word of the living God? An educator some years ago

published a bulletin in which he goes on to show that the rural

church has a money value tor the , section where it exists; that

where the rural church is prosperous, the community is prosper-

ous. and where there is no religion and the 'chm‘chi‘is dying, the

condition of the farm tends toward a. decline. Recognising our

duty towind God and our iellowman now is the only wise course,

the only safe course. It is easy to lose the finest. things in life,

because we are so busy And after all. What does it profit to gain

success and lose one’s life!





 





 





 





The Art of Walking





 





 





 

 





UR ancestors before the railway



era. being obliged to walk, knew

little of chronic indigestion, insomnia

and neurasthenia. How many people

in these days could breakfast off a

pork pie and a pint of ale at half-past

six in the morning? How many could

endure an amputation without an an-

aesthetic? Yet those were common

practices with our ancestors.



Rodent locomotion, the railway

train, the motor car, and the aeroplane

have made men physically lazy, and

they do not use their muscles until a

railway strike comes along and hits

them in the eye. Then they discover

what a. flpriqus and health-giving ex-

the leg muscles that are employed.

When one leg is thrust forward the

muscles of the back on the opposite

side of the body go into action, too.

The chest and abdominal are at work,

and with a rhythmical swing of the

arms the arm muscles are also employ-

ed. Moreover, the heart is a muscle,





‘and what employs and strengthens the





limb muscles also strengthens the

heart muscle. The stomach is also a

muscular organ, and walking gives the

stomach vigor and “me” 'to’ digest.

'miles. Don't spurt... If, it is to be a

long ”walk, then after one hour’s walk-

ing there shouldbe a rest of ten min-





utes. Square the shoulders, keep the





head erect, and swing the. arms rhyth-

mically. If you can do a good steady

walk of eight or ten miles you will be

astonished how your troubles and

cares will diminish in magnitude. Life

becomes a very simple affair then.



One or two hints and cautions may

be valuable. The body loses fluid both

by perspiration that can be felt, and

by that which cannot. During vigor-

ous walking, a definite amount for so

many miles, this must be replaced by

fluid of some kind. Water is needed

after each four miles of walking, or

the body temperature gets raised.

When the walk is over do not sit down

immediately to a hearty meal. Have a.

rest first; loll in an armchair and re-

lax every muscle. and take your boots

off. If you eat heartily when the mus-

cular system is tired you may not di~

gest well. Take particular care of the

feet. Thick woolen socks are the best

and cold water is the thing to bathe

tired feet in.



Finally, "many of‘ the maladies of

modern civilization, such as insomnia,

chronic constipation, chronic dyspep-

sia, melancholia, boredom and “nerves"

can be banished by systematic walk-

ing as an exercise.





 





Sunshine Hollow Items

By Rube Rubicon

Sunshine Hollow folks that like





their job seem ’to look a little bit hap-

pier than some of the tired business





.men that live in the big cities. of





course, they all have their troubles

but there is plenty to eat and lots of

.fresh air and when the real estate

agents 'donh’.’ coax them to sell they

seem quite satisfied. Nothing keeps

farm folks more uneaSy than constant-

ly hearing about farm prices advanc-

ing and wondering if they ought to

cash in on the old homestead before

prices drop. William Elkins says

there won't ever be any more land in

Sunshine Hollow than there is now

so its good stuff to keep. He says cit-

ies can double in size but you can’t

’make two eighty-acre farms where one

grew before.





Melvin Hogan says he won’t buy

any new clothes until prices come

down. He has two suits and wears

one until it looks worse than the other.

Then he wears the second xuntil it

looks worse than the first. He always

has a change of clothes for Sunday.

And Melvin is a highly respected citi-

zen who pays his bills promptly. He

looks neat and works hard. A lot of

folks may wish they had saved some

of their clothes money about twenty

years trom.now. That’s what Melvin

says. -



Sunshine Hollow folks do better

work when they feel sort of optimis-

tic. Nelson Dickinson once read an





awful sad story about farming justl"





when a big rain was coming up. He

knew the roof leaked but didn’t have

the pep to fix it after reading about

farming being such a bum business.

The rain spoiled the new wallpaper.

When Nelson cheered up after the

\storm he got right up on the root and

fixed the shingles so the next rain will

all drizzle right down in the cistern'

where it belongs. ’ *

The wide uses for which the Essex

are instantly apparent.





Besides fast, comfortable communi—

evidence of them is revealed when the

Roadster is used as a pleasure car.

It takes but a 'moment to make the

A World Endurdnce Record

Proves Essex Dependability





A large class of Essex buyers are

farmers. They choose {it for utility

and dependable transportation. It be-

comes, in fact, a part of their business

system. It must be on the job, keep all

engagements on time, and be as re-

sponsible as an engineer’s watch.





These same ualities, with its rare

good looks, ma e the roadster unsur-

passed as a smart car foripleasure.





Well as Pleasure





Economy, durability and train-like

regularity are the standards set by

Essex. These things have been shown

in the hands of more than 30,000 owners.





It was more dramatically proved on

the Cincinnati speedway 'whcn an Essex

stock chassis set the world’s long distance

endurance record of 3,037 miles in 50

hours.» The same car, in three separate

tests traveled 5,870 miles at an average

speed above a mile a minute. Another

stock Essex set the World’s 24-hour road

mark of 1,061 miles over snow-covered

Iowa roads. -



Its endurance and riding case make

it ideal for those who must cover wide

territory, quickly and frequently. Though

not large, the Essex is commodious.

There is plenty of room for pussvngers,

and its specialarrangements for carrying

even bulky, heavy loads make it an un—

usual convenience in farm service.



Come see the Essex Roadster. Ride

in it. Try its paces. Whether you want

it for business or pleasure, you will appre-

ciate why Essex in its first year set a new

world’s sales record.

CHAPTER 1711.;

A LONG the familiar streets of Se-





father walked arm in arm, their

progress continuously interrupted by

well-meaning but impulsive Sequoians

who insisted upon halting the pair to

shake hands with Bryce and bid him

welcome ”home. In the presence of

those third parties the old man quick-

ly conquered the agitation he had felt

at this long-deferred meeting with his

son, and when presently they left the

business section of the town and turn-

ed into a less-frequented street, his

emotion assumed the character of a

quiet joy, evidenced in a more erect

bearing and a firmer tread, as if he

strove, despite his seventy—six years,

not to appear incongruous as he walk-

ed beside his splendid son.





ly,” he said presentely. His voice as

well as his words expressed profound

regret, but there was no hint of de-

spair or heartbreak now. _



Bryce, who up to this moment had

refra’ined from discussing‘his father’s

misfortunes, drew the old man a little

closer to his side.





he queried. He did not often address

his parent, after the fashion of most

sons, as “Father,” “Dad” or “Pop.”

They were closer to each other than

that, and a rare senSe of perfect com-

radeship found expression, on Bryce’s

part, in such salutations as “pal,”

"partner" and, infrequently, “old

sport.” When arguing with his father,

protesting with him or affectionately

scolding him, Bryce, with mock ser-

iousness, sometimes called the old man

John Cardigan.



“Cataracts, son," his father answer-

ed. “Merely the penalty of old age."



“But can't something be done about

it?” demanded Bryce. “Can’t they be

cured somehow or other?”



“Certainly they lean. But I shall

have to wait until they are completely

matured and I have become complete-

ly blind; then a specialist will perform





.an operation on my eyes, and in all





probability my sight will be restored

for a few years. However, I haven’t

given the matter 'a great deal of con-

sideration. At my age one doesn’t find

very much difficulty in making the} best

of everything. And I am about“ ready

to quit now. I’d like to, in fact;,.l’m

tired.”



“Oh, but you can’t quit until you’ve

seen your redwoods again,’ Bryce re-

minded him. “I suppose it’s .been a

long time since you’ve visited the Val-

ley of the Giant;s your long exile from

the wood- goblins has made you a trifle

gloomy, I’m afraid.”



John- Cardigan nodded. “I haven’t

seen them in a year and a half, Bryce.

Last time I was up, I slipped between

the logs on the old'rskid-road and‘like

to broke my: old fool neck. But even

that Wasn’t warning enough for me.

tested.

man. “But then, I don’t spend money

quite as fieely as I used to, Bryce. I

consider caxefully now before I part

with a dollar.” _



“Pal, it wasn’t fair of you to make

me stay away so long. If I had only

known—if I had remotely suspected—”





“You’d have spoiled everything—of

course. Dont scold me, 5011. Youre

all I have now, and I couldnt bear to

send for you until you’d had your

fling.” His trembling old hand crept

over and closed upon his boy’s hand,

so firm but free from signs of toil. . “It

was my pleasure. Bryce,” he continued

“and you wouldn’t deny me my choice

of sport, would you? Remember, lad,

I never had a boyhood; I never had a

college education, and the Only real





travel I have ever had was when I





worked myway around Cape Horn as

a foremast hand, and all I-saw then

was water and hardships; all I’ve seen

since is my little world here in Se-

before you we1e bow, and I promised

knew I could manage until you were

ready to settle down to business. And

“How big are you now?" his father

queried suddenly.

“Well, sir,” Bryce answered, for his





.. father’s pleasure‘putting aside his nor-





mal modesty, “I’m six feet two inches

tall,‘ and I weigh two hundred pounds

in the pink of condition. I have a

forty-eight-inch chest, with five and a

half inches chest-expansion, and a

reach as long as a gorilla’s. My under-

pinning is good, too; I’m not onerof

“That is very encouraging, my boy———

very. Ever do any boxing?”



“Quite a little. I’m ,failly up in the

manly art of selfvdefence.” _



“That’s good. And I suppose you did

some wrestling at your college gym-

nasium, did you not?”



“Naturally. I went in for everything

my big carcass could stand.”



The‘old man wagged his head ap-



provingly, and they .had reached the

gate of the Cardigan home before he

spoke again. “There's a big buck

woods-boss up in Pennington’s camp,”

he remarked irrelevantly. ”He’s a

French Canadian imported from north-

ern Michigan by Colonel Pennington.

I dare say he’s the only man in this

country who measures up to you phy-

sically. He' can fight with his fists and

wrestle right cleVerly, .I’m told. His

name is Jules Rondeau, and he’s top

dog among the lumberjacks. They say

he’s the strongest man in the county.”

He unlatched the gate. “Folks used

to say that about me once,.” he con-

tinued wistfully. “Ah,~ if I could have

my eyes to see you meet Jules Ron-

deau!” ’

6 The front portal of the Quaint old

Cardigan residence opened, and a sil-

ver-haired lady came out on the porch

and hailed Bryce. She was Mrs. Tully,

John Cardigan’s old housekeeper, and

almost a mother to Bryce. “Oh, here’s

my boy!” she Cried, and a moment

later found herself encircled by Bryce’s

arms and saluted with a hearty kiss.



As he stepped into the familiar en-

trance-hall, Bryce paused, raised his

head and sniffed suspiciously, like‘a

bird-dog. Mrs. Tully, arms akimbo,

watched him pleasurably. “I smell

something,” he declared, and advanced

a step down the hall fer another sniff;

then, in exact imitation of a foxhound

he gave tongue and started for the

kitchen. Mrs. Tully, waddling afte1,

found him “pointing” two hot black-

berry pies which had but a. few min-





en. He was haying lugubriously.

“They’re wild blackberries, too,”

Mrs. Tully announced pridefully. “I

remembered how fond you'used to be

of wild-blackberry pie—so I phoned up

to .the logging-camp and had the woods-

boss send a man out to pick them.”

“I’m still a pie-hound, ‘Mrsf Tully,

Sincerely,

BRYCE CARDIGAN.





He handed the card to Mrs. Tully

and repaired to his old mom to remove

the stains of travel bef01‘e“joining his

father at dinner.



Some twenty minutes later his un-

usual votive offering was delivered by

George Sea Otter to Colonel Penning-

ton’s Swedish maid, who promptly

b1ought it in to the Colonel and Shir~

ley Sumner, who we1e even then at

dinner in the Colonel’s fine burl-red-

wood-panelled dining-room: Miss Sum-

ner’s amazement was so profound that

for fully a minute she was mute, con-

tenting herself with scrutinizing alter-

nately the pie and the card that accom-

panied it. Presently she handed the

card to her uncle, who fixed his

pince-nez and read the epistle with de-

liberation. _



"Isn’t this young Cardigan a. truly

remarkable young man, Shirley?” he

declared. “Why, I have never heard

of anything like his astounding ac—

tion. If he had sent you an ‘zarmful of

American Beauty roses from his fath-

e1's old- fashioned g',a1den I could un—

derstand it, but an internal blackberly

‘I told you he was different,” she

1eplied. To the Colonel’s amazement

she did not appeal at all amused. ,6



Colonel Pennington poked a. fork

wonder. if it is really as .good as he

says it is, Shirley.”



“Of course. If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t

Spring House-cleamng as an





 





Insect Control Measure

By D072 B. W/ze/an





"OON the sound of the heaters will

echo as they flay the dust from

carpet and rug, or the vacuum



sweeper will hum as it sucks the dirt

from the warp. Spring time is always

housecleaning time, when carpets are

cleaned, floors scrubbed and windows

washed, while the cobwebs are re-

moved t‘rom the corners and ceiling.

Much dirt will have been brought in

during the winter and the furnace will

have‘made a lot of dust to be" gotten

rid of. Housecleaning time is certain-

ly necessary, not only from the stand-

point of dirt, but also with a. View to

getting rid of many troublesome and

injurious insects. Where there is

cleanliness few insects will breed. ‘ A

little knowledge of where they thrive

and develop will greatly aid in de-

strOying these places when the general

cleaning is going on.



When the cleaning has progressed

as far as the kitchen and pantry make

the job a thorough one by examining

the food supply. Look into the flour

bin and into that sack of bran that

was purchased a few months back.

Take a little out into a dish and ex-

amine it for small beetles 01‘ see if

there is any webbing present. Smell

of it to see it there is a ”buggy odor.”

Look into the receptacles that hold

other foods that‘have been stored,

and see if there is any infestation of

theSe products. A can that has been

kept air-tight may often be l‘Ound to

be literally alive with insect life.

Beans, peas, corn meal and graham

flour are often .the first to become in—

fested. Clean out and destroy any

contaminated tood The containers

themselves may contain eggs and so

must eithe1 be destroyed or else wash—

ed in boiling water.



Waim, moist places me the favorite

breeding places of cockroaches. An

ideal spot is found wheie the under

side of the sink is enclosed. This

gives the roaches just what they want;

warmth, moisture, and darkness, with

the food supply close at hand. Besides

being unsanitary, these places are a

common meeting place for many in-

sects and a retreat for mice.



Where there are cracks betWeen the

boards of the floor dust will accumu-

late in spite of all that you can do.

It is very apt to get in between the

baseboard and the floor, or in the cor-

ners. It is-in these places, protected

from the disturbance of broom or car-

pet sweeper, that insects find an ad-

mirable place in which to breed or

hide. The common cat and dog flea,

makes use of these places in which to

lay their eggs and bring up'their ever

increasing families. The bed-bug finds

these cracks an excellent spot in which

to spend—the day, their flat bodies eas-

ily finding a comfortable. place to

await the coming of night . and a

square meal. Of course, they also

stay in the cracks or the bed and mat-

Hot scap-suds with a. little ker-

osene added will make ‘arfine solution





1, with which to mop the infested floors.

The cracks should be filled with some f

gmaterial to keep the di15t and dust out -

L The cat or do should be 1-111“ as





 





ing on which to sleep '11 should be





cleaned every week during the warm

weather.



Clothes that have not been worn for

some timeand hang, or lie, undisturb

ed‘are quite apt, in the summer espe-

cially, to serve as feeding places for

several insects, not the least of which

is the clothesmoth. Their work may

not be noticed until last year’s coat or

gown has been taken down and found

to be full of holes that are located in

the most conspicuous places. The

webs or cases in which the insect

feeds will be found near the holes

where they are at work. The larvae

of carpet beetles are also very fond

of clothes and can in a short time so

perforate a garment as to make it un-

usable. They will also get on the un-

der side of the carpet, working near

the border, or will .follow a crack in

the floor and thus cut a long slit.

Most boxes and trunks where things

are packed are easy to enter and con-

sequently those places are often the





first to be ruined. If a carpet or a . .

garment is found to be infested it ’

should be thorbughly beaten or brush: '

ed, perhaps sprayed with gasoline and

hung in the sunlight as long as pos-

sible. The floors themselves should

be thoroughly washed, using practiea1-'

ly' the same treatment as for fleas. .

Where the wall- -paperi_s loose willbe

found a favorite feeding ground for

the fish-moth, or silver-fish as it' is

sometimes called. In infested houses . '-

the bed-bug will hide here by day. ,,~-'

These loose places should be fixed,

and can be with'Olittle time or trouble.





If the foundation walls are packed

with old straw and manure, see that it

is removed for it is a fine breeding

place for flies and they will sodn 'take

advantage of it. Many a fly nuisance

has been traced to these places.



Most of the remedial measures .‘ "

against the household insects can eas-

ily be made a part of the houseclean-

ing program with little extra trouble,

and much benefit will be derived.’





 





 





 





 





 





 





A growers, Frederick Wallace, an



an experienced rose grower, gave

an address on the successful growing

of hybrid tea roses, which ‘are increas-

ing yearly in populaiity.



As the matter of soil is most import-

ant, the preparation of the. plot and

proper drainage were considered firSt.

Roses do not like to have their feet





in water, and soggy, ill- drained ground“





may drown them out. Indications of

this condition ale slow growth in start-

ing, and unhealthy looking plants.

Eight to ten inches of good top soil

is necessary, and this expert recom-

mends draining by means of tiling.



It is advisable to order plants early

for spring planting, the best time to:-

tender roses, and set them out as SOOn

as soil is dry enough, which is when

it crumbles. Each buSh should be

properly “firmed” as it is planted.



Mr. Wallace does not believe in ros-

es grown on their own roots or, not-

groyrn roses. but "says the best results





may be Obtained from plants bedded-5

wire to the bush.





   

   





If stock is dry when received, bury

in moist soil for forty-eight hours be-

fore planting. Hybrid tea roses are

best" grown in rows, fourI feet apart,

and bushes sixteen to eighteen inches , ~



This allows plenty .



of room for cultivation. Plants should

be disbudded till they are well estab‘

lished, and it is well not to allow buds

to start on new plants until June 15.





Roses are gross feeders. They need

plenty of nitrogen, and this should be ,

applied early to stimulate growth. For _ 5

quick results nitrate of soda. used dry, 5‘ ‘ 5

a handful to a plant, is good, but ‘

should not be used alter September ,

ashes supplies this. Apply twice 'dur- *

the pig and corn clubs in his-county.

Minor’s folks raised Berk-Shires and

'he entered with' one registered, Berk~ ,

shire pig. He never'missed a’ fair and

for sveral years was a consistent'and

successful exhibitor of his”'favorite

breed. Among other things he won a,

scholarship to the State College of Agr

riculture, as a pig Club prize. He re-

mained in the club until he reached

the age limit. ,

When he became nineteen years old

hisfather gave him Lips management:

of the home place.' It was then and

there that he demonstrated the'value

of what he had learned as a club mem—





ber. He bought an extra span of large





mules and cleared fifty additional

acres free of stumps, the first year.

With a hundred acres of clear land

the farm produced far better returns

than his father had ever been. able to

coax out of it. In the fall he had a.

fine lot of fat Berkshire hogs to sell.

, BOUT the time of the American

, Revolution, someone brought ov~

er to America some brown rats.

Or more likely they came, without be-

ing brought, particularly. At any rate

they got here. They imediately, like

all successful Settlers, made them-

selves right at home. And first, last

and all the time they began to multi-

ply. It. is said on good authority that

a pair of these rats will in five years'

time have descendants up into the mil-

lions, it they were not restricted in

any way. They destroy crops each

year that would go a long way toward

paying oi! the nation's debt. They are

also responsible for a huge toll in hu-

man life, because they harbor a louse

that causes the bubonic plague. The

loss of twenty-five millions of people

in one century in Europe, from the

plague, is laid to the rat.



One day in 1869 an entomologist

had a few eggs of the gypsy moth, in

his laboratory. The wind blew them

out of the window. The professor ask-

ed the public to help him find them,

but the public was not interested in

the bugs and eggs of a professor.

Twenty-five years later, New England

was under the curse of the gypsy

moth. Tall elms that had shaded the

streets of villages tor generations had

to be cut‘ down. Vast sums have been

spent by the state governments to get

rid of the descendants of the eggs that

blew out of the professor’s window. It

was somewhere about, this time, also,

that the boil weevil began annual vis-

its to the cotton fields of the south.

The boll weevil is different from the

ordinary folks who go south for the

winter.

sort prices for a place to stay. But

the gentle little weevil makes the

southern farmers pay him, for coming.

He has cost the cotton growers and

the government millions of meney, in

a single year.



It seems tunny to us now, to learn

that when the first English sparrows

came over here in 1852, they were im-

ported, with great care. They were

brought to New York and Philadelphia

and Maine. In the QuakerICity they

even paid a man to care for them, and

see that they had plenty to eat. We

would give a good deal now, if some

benevolent caretaker would take care

to get the sparrow back to England

again. But we need not worry. He

is here to stay.

‘ theAmO‘slggiiés fled Job on farms

hhivi‘nsl farm 1. assasgbr sheep,- is





‘ the 'dockingkand castrfitlng'of the lambs





at the, proper time. ~ , 4 ,

If this were a hard, tedious job, or

one requiring. the assistance of a;.skill-'

ed veterinarian, there might be some

legitimate excuse for the extremely

large percentage of native lambs that

come into the stock yards every fall,

with long tails and untrimmed, from

farm flocks. .



' Thousands of dollars are lost to the

farmers every year because of 'care-

lessness, more than for any other one

reason. The majOrity of farmers know

that it pays well for their time and

that the lambs look better and are

less trouble to handle, when properly

docked and castrated. V



With lambs that areforced for rapid

advancement and put on to the mar-

ket at less than three months of age,

there is no appreciable advantage in

casti'ating, but for the lambs that are

kept five months or over, there is a

great advantage in docking and cas-

Dating.



No sheep man in the west would

have any possibility of going to a

bank and hiring money on his sheep,

if the banker

have any business ability sufficient to

realize the great advantage of docking

and castrating or that he was too

careless to attend to the same.



Some of the advantages of a docked

and castrated lamb over an undocked

and uncastrated lamb, are that the

castrated lamb develops more rap-

idly, fattens more uniformly, and puts

a larger percentage of flesh in the

high—priced cuts, such as leg and loin,,

while the ram lambs develop strong-

er in the neck and shoulder. The cas-

trated lambs run quietly with the ewe

flock, without the possibility of hav-

ing the ewes drop lambs during the

winter time, when they are. not want-

ed. The docked lamb is much clean-





is not subject to trouble from maggots

in moist hot weather. When they go

to market at the 'age of five to seven

months, the castrated 'lamb will out-

weigh the uncastrated, by five to ten

pounds, and is ‘worth from two to five

cents more per pound, depending on

the age.



The operation of docking and cas-

trating is very simple and can be done

by almost anyone. - .



When a person has but eight or ten

to handle, they can be caught and

handled without any preparation What

ever, excepting a sharp knife, and a

little disinfectant. -Where the‘ farmer

has a good-sized flock, he should run

them through a cutting chute,'or crowd

them up in one part of the barn, so

that he cancatch the lambs without

chasing‘ the sheep around, putting the

lambs in a pen by themselves. This

should.be done in the morning, and

the lambs should be handled as quietly

as possible, so as net to exercise them

’ The equipment necessary'is offence

ply of disinfectant, a can of tar, and”





at "least two good sharp knives, also

a few strings, six or eight inches long.

The fence panel is used as a mov—





able partition in the lamb pen, enab-‘





ling crowding of the lambs to one end.

which assists the man catching the

lambs, and prevents undué exertion

on the part of either the lambs or the

man. The opopsite side of the panel

can be used as a pen fpr putting oper-

ated lambs into. ,



The operating bench is a twelve-inch





plafik about three and One-half feet





from the ground.



The strings are to be used for‘ tying

the talls’ of any bleeding profusely.



A good operator can dock, tails, cas-

trate, disinfect both scrotum and the

stub of the tail, and put a little tar on





the wool around the tail, as rapidly as





one man can catch the lambs and pass

them to the man that holds. '

When everything is ready for busi-

ness, with the knives, tar and disin-.

fectant handy, two lively men to assist

the operator, and the operator not

afraid of a little blood, he can strip to

The holder places the lamb on the

table on its back, gives a. little pres-





 





 





- \





sure backward, whichtends to draw

the skin of the tail up, and at the same

time the operator grasps the tall, shov-

ing the skin a little forward, slashes





the tall off with one, cut, at about one "





 





 





and a half inches from the body, then V





grasping the scrotum cuts the lower

third off, then taking the "other knife,

which should have a very keen edge,





cuts the lining of the testicles, and.





withdraws them, either with the thumb

and finger, or with the teeth.



The majority of the operators who

plan to do rapid work, prefer to use

their teeth; because they never slip,

and the work can be done much more

rapidly. For one‘ accustomed to this

method, it is not. at all disagreeable,

and in the writer’s opinion, is much

better for the lamb, as it does VaWay

with occasional slipping, suchas 5gbften

occurs when using thmnbiarndw finger.



When the lambs are cld‘er‘than three

Some farmers have 1eported losses

alter anointing and docking, but it is

the writer's judgment that these lessees

were due very largely to not disinfect-

ing properly, as he has docked and cas-

trated hundreds of lambs, without the

loss of a single one from bleeding.



With this operation so simple, and

the benefit so great, it is hard to un-

derstand why such a large percentage

of lambs go to market as they do.



Considering the fact that with pres-

ent prices, the castrated and docked

lamb will sell for at least one dollar

per head more on the market at six

months or age, and three men can dock

sixty lambs an hour, their time would

be worth at the rate of twenty dollars

an hour. ' .



This represents-hotelier phase of the

profit received. The greatest gain pos-

sible, is in the additional pleasure and

pride the corner will take in his flock.



Keeping the ewe lambs for breeding

ewes withlong tails, is even more in-

excusable, as there are so many die

advantages with longtailed ewes; be-

sides it ie’dimcult to see how a farmer

can take sufficient pride in a bunch of

long-tailed ewes, to give them pr’oper

care.





The farmer who does not take pride ‘

in his stock loses one at the greatest-





pleasures of farm life. .



What prettier scene is there on a

well-kept farm, than a flock of well-

hred ewes, with blocky. trimmed lambs

Idea are everywhere telling ro-

markabl'e tales about mileage on

Miller Tires.





Some cite up to 25,000 milee.

Many certified tales, even on trucks,

exceed 22,000 miles.





But these are not average condi-

tions. They are usually oversize

tires, well cared for, under-loaded.





What to expect





‘ Millers will increase your mile-

age. Records taken in Boston, on

hundreds of cars, show an increase

of 50 per cent to 75 per cent.



We have in late years nearly

doubled our mileage by pcrfections

in the Miller Tire.





 





In our factory, eight tires are

run on geared-up machines 650





15,000





per tire in constant tests





 





miles each per day. They are run

under rear-tire conditions. And the

average mileage on Miller Cords is

15,000 miles.





Other leading makes are con-

stantly compared with them, but

the Miller excels all.





New standards





Miller Tires will

change your standards.





completely





 





Three tires





Ray C. Carpenter tested three

Miller Tires on a 22-passenger

bus, carrying 3 tone per trip.

The firet ran 23,700 miles, the

second 17,” mike, and the

third 22,M0 miles, without a

blowout.

- The high protein content

of éltslts makes it particularly vom-

able in these days of high-priced pro-

tein feeds. Corn should also be grown

,whe‘revel'it is possible to obtain a.

good crop. With an abundant supply

of alfalfa‘ and corn laid by each year,

the food problem for the dairy herd is

largely solved—“and solved in the most

economical manner possible.



” There” "are ether fundamental prob

lems which should receive careful con.

sideretlon by all dairy farmers and





manufacturers. Foremost among these . ;





are, first, increassdvfmroduction per

cow: second, increased consumption of

milk and dairy products; third. a close

study of the world markets tor dairy

products and the purchasing power of

the people; ,tourth, the formation of

cooperative selling and buying organi.

rations mow the dolrymen.



Recent history or the market milk

industry proves the necessity for sell-

ing organizations among the farmers.

The purpose of ouch organizations.

hooner, should not be to raise the

price of milk, but rather to improve

the mill: supply, to educate the farm-

ers so that they can cut down on the

cost or milk. production, and to edu-

cate the consumers in the food Willie

of milk. .



Labor charges and the cost of trans-

portation ore matters over which the

farmer has-no control, and must be

faced and overcome with as much

equanimlty as possible.





Taken as a. whole, the dairying oi '-





the country today confronts a crisis,

and the next few years will decide

Whether this great industry is to con-

tinue to flourish or whether all the

impetus given to it by the war is to be

lost. Should this crisis prove disas-

trous. its demoralizing sheets will ex-

tend not only to the dairy business,

but to every other industry. for agri~

culture is the basis of all industries.

The doirynien must be encouraged, and

every aid should be given them in too-

ing the situation.





Most certainly now is not the time .





for-this greet industry, so highly im-

portant throughout the country, to be

hamstrung, pampered, and throttle-d by

selfish politicians and persons with uni

sound economic theories. -

Dehoming Herd Bull and its Effect.

—-—Following dehornlnz is a stock bull

likely to lose his desire to serve cows?

The reason I ask is this: I had a reg-

istered bull that was all that could be

desired for breeding purposes until he

was ashamed. Since then he will not

go near the cows. What can I do with

him? C. M., Avoca, Mlch.—-_ on ask a

very interesting; question on one that

should attract the attention o: owners

oi vulusble. bulls. The writer has

known similar results to follow de-

horning. the animal seemed to lose

his masculine qualities and courage,

but after allWing him to associate

with the com; he regained courage.

Give him one‘girsm of wound nux vom-

ica at a dime in feed three times a

WHEAT





Grains of all kinds have been in ac-.

tive demand since the opening of bus-

iness Monday. Light receipts and

transportation ‘ conditions, together

with unfavorable weather conditions,

have caused a. sharp advance in pric-

es. Wheat is particularly strong in all

markets. It is said that. pressure is

being brought to bear on Washington

to furnish cars to move grain so that

loans might be reduced. Present val-g

ues on the local market are- as folldws:

RYE





The 1ye market has been running

wild and prices have advanced eight

cents, but there is nothing for sale

and prices do not seem to bring out

any offerings. On the local market

Cash No.2 1ye is quoted at $2. 20 per





buehel.

SEEDS





The seed market has experienced no

change timing the past few days. The

general tone is fi1m and the demand

lively. On the local market prime red

clover is quoted at $28.50; alsike at

$29.50; timothy $5.50. , .





FEEDS





Detroit millers have raised prices

of both flour and feed and an active

market is taking everything they have

to offer. Present values are as follows.

meal $71; cracked corn 375.50; chop

feed $66 per ton in 100-lb. sacks.





BEANS





~ While a little local buying last week

revived hopes of” general improvement

in the trade, the bean market is now

about as lifeless as ever with a very

slight improvement in only a few

lines. White beans are quiet with the

price in Detroit placed at $7.50 per

cwt. for immediate and prompt ship-

ment. In New York choice pea beans

The potato market has been some-

around 310. 50 pe1 150-lb. sack in Pitts-

I





At westerb points butter val 79. held

about steady the past week wh "is east-

e111 prices show! considerable gain on

account of lack of transportation facil

ities. Chicago quotations gained one

cent last week and fancy creaméry is

now quoted at 65%c. In New York a

new high ‘level of values has been es-

tablished and there is prospect that

unless the railway situation clears

promptly a butter famine will result.

Creameries scoring 92 and above were

at 77@78c, but are now down to 72%,

@740. Had it not been for the im-

portation of Danish butter, values

would have gone considerably higher.

At Detroit trading is moderate and the

relation of supply and demand shows

little alteration.





EGGS





The1e is active buying of eggs on

the local market. In Chicago the trade

1ules steady with firsts at 411/2(rD,421/zc

and ordinary firsts at 3862390. Trad-

ing is semewhat irregular in New York

with nea1by western henne1y at 48@

per case in Philadelphia.





CHEESE





P1oduction in Wisconsin and other

western sections is lagging fo1 this

peliod of the year and is also light in

the east? Inability to ship has given

the trade a firm tone with full milks

jobbing in New York at 271/g@280,

and in Philadelphia at 31@320.





WOOL





The inteiest farmers are taking in

the Michigan Wool Pool has resulted

in advances of several cents pe1 pound

by many local buyers. It is rumored

that one Boston house has secured

about 300, 000- pounds of wool in Utah,

at full prices Whether the deal was

a diiect pu1chase or consignment bus-

iness is not disclosed. Some of the

better fine wools of Utah have fetched

up to 60 cents a pound in the grease.

Shearing is under way over much of

the southern part of that ‘state, as well

as a considerable portion of Nevada.

Scattered clips have been secured in

Nevada, principally by Boston houses,

at 50@57c a pound. Utah prices are

said to be about ‘10 to 15 cents above

the opening level for 1919. HoweVer,

part of this increase may be discount-

ed by the condition of the 1920’ clip,
