HILE lime and phosphorus are

We of the cornerstones upon

which the four-square structure
of an enduring agriculture must rest,

Here is what has happened at the
Ohio Experiment Statidn on a soil de~
pleted of all _. the elements of fertility
by a century, of hard usage. The fig-
ures show the average annual value

had become almost a total failure by
the end of the fifteen-year period, yet
it contributed some nitrogen, averag-

In this test the fertilizing elements

were given ‘for each five-year period at’

p 'N’otch

By the systematic growing of clover
or other leguminous crops in short ro-
tations, the feeding of the larger part
of the produce of the farm to live
stock, and the intelligent saving and
use of manure, it is possible and prac—
ticable not only fully to maintain but
to increase the nitrogen content of the
soil, and to maintain the supply of
potassium with but small additions
from outside. With lime and phos-
phorus, however, the case is different,
for these elements are constantly be-
ing carried away, not only in the grains
sold off the farm, but to an equal or
greater extent in the bones or milk of
live stock; hence restitution from out-
side the farm must be made if its fer-
tility' is to be maintained.

Partial restitution of phosphorus
may be made by the purchase of feed-
ing studs, especially linseed and cot-
tonseed oil meals and wheat bran, but
unless the soil has been largely deriv-
ed from limestones the amount of lime
recovered in such feeding stuffs will
be too small to cut any figure. A ton
of old process linseed oil meal, for
example, will contain only about nine
pounds of lime, and a ton of cotton—
seed oil meal about six pounds, where-
as experience has shown that an an-
nual dressing of at least two hundred
pounds of lime per acre may be neces-
sary to sweeten an acid soil.

CURRENT COMMENT

()THING is more
evident than the
WageScales fact that the people
and of this country, in
Living Costs common with the peo-
ple of most other
countries, are finding it difficult to ad—
just themselves to the changed eco-
nomic and industrial conditions to-
ward which we have been heading for
a. decade, and which have been so
sharply accentuated by the great war
which has stirred the entire world to
its social and economic foundations.
The diversion of our industries to war
production, together with the inevita-
ble effect of currency inflation in con-
nection with the lessened production
of staples, sent prices» upward at a ter-
rific rate, thus rapidly pyramiding liv-
ing costs, which in turn were neces~
sarily met by increased wage scales all
along the line. But the advance in
wage scales was uneven, depending
upon the necessities of the case in
war production or the possible profits
resulting from the operation of com-
mercial industries. As a result a very
considerable proportion of workmen
who were engaged in industries which
could 'pass on a greatly increased
wage scale to the ultimate purchaser
of their products, found themselves
enjoying incomes which were far be-
yond their wildest dreams of former
days. Arid these quickly swollen in-
comes were ve1y 1ar gely expended in
the purchase of luxuries to satisfy a
previously inhibited taste or ambition.
This very natural consequence in turn
became the cause of further increases
in the price of goods and of a greater
degree of unrest among workers not
in this first favored class, resulting in
increased wage demands all along the
line, and a corresponding increase in
strikes and walk-outs, with the same
consequence of lessened production
and still further increases in living
costs.

In the matter of wage demands,
competition has been keen. During
the earlier stages of this general up-
ward movement the then high wages
commanded by skilled men in certain
trades was the general goal .toward
which other workers were striving, and
the most common wage demand where
any degree of skill is involved was for
a scale of a dollar an hour. Naturally
enough the classes of skilled work-
men who were first fortunate enough
to achieve that wage scale sought to
maintain their lead, and now many

In attempts to stay the rising tide. "

of prices, the government has advor— ._

tised various onslaughts on profltoers,

which in the main have apparently"

been dissipated in attempts to force
down the price of milk, which of all
essential foodstuffs has advanced
least during the past two years. But
while attempting to force down the
price of this food commodity under a
war measure, the lid of price control
has been lifted from other commodi-
ties and other necessities for which
the farmers .of the country furnished
the raw material have soared in price
in the hands of others, sugar being a
notable case.

Quite naturally the average man’s
first thought is of cheaper foodstuffs
when he considers the possibility of
lower living costs. The highly paid
but dissatisfied workman does not, for
the most part, think of foodstuffs in
terms of labor, plus interest on invest—
ment, taxes and overhead charges
which are essential factors in farm as
well as factory produ‘ction. Too often
city business men are just as faulty
in their analyses, and the editors of
city papers more generally so.

But it has become so apparent that
increased wage scales will not solve
the problem, but rather aggravate it
in the end by drawing still more labor
from the farms, that. more thinking
men of all classes are beginning to
see the problem in its true light. And

   
   

there is little doubt that the more
thorough organization of farmers
through the Farm Bureau movement

is aiding them to see it more clearly.
If farmers as a class should “strike”
for the short hours and high wage
scales demanded by men in less
“skilled" employment, the result
would spell disaster. Their products,
interpreted in terms of such a. wage
scale would take the joy out of metro-
politan life. Thanks to the good sense
of our American farmers they are con-
templating no such move. What they
are demanding is an honest day’s
work for a fair day’s pay all along the
line, which would increaseproduction
in other lines and add to the nation’s
as well as their own prosperity. Un-
less the good sense of American work-
men prevails in this regard, the in~
evitablo result must be an evening up
of the scale by a marked shrinkage in
agricultural production and a. further
increase in living costs due to a. scarc-
ity of foodstuffs.

Again we repeat an oft reiterated
statement: High wage scales and
cheap foodstuffs cannot long be coex-
istent. Price levels will in the end be
evened up by the operation of natural
laws, if extreme variations cannot be
avoided by other means.

NUSUALLY low

Harvest the month of April are

801118 to be responsi-
ble for greatly reducing the capacity
of our farmers to produce food crops
by forcing the sowing and planting of
fields beyond the dates when the seeds
should go into the ground, and by
bringing the heavy tasks of the sea-
son, cultivating, haying and harvest:
ing so close together that it will be
impossible to properly perform them
with the present very limited supply
of available help. By reason of this
probable decrease due to unsoumblo

randy been anticipated because of one

To the fin of rendering aid at the
crucial soabOn we suggest that county
farm bureaus, farm organizations, or
agricultural agents at once take up
with local manufacturing'and indus-
trial concerns the matter of securing
needed help for the farmers when har-
vesting time comes. If, as we believe,
a large percentage of our business men
will appreciate the situation and coop:
erate, there is bound to come a bone-
fit to both through aleviating or per-
haps averting a national calamity and
in making it possible for the farmer to
piofit more from his ac1es.

About Beans

HE Michigan white bean has es-

tablished itself with the consum-
er, but so many consumers do not
know beans that this favorite gets its
jolts in the market because of its near
relations .who masquerade under its
reputation. {imitation is the sincerest
flattery” might well be said also of
foodstuffs like beans and butter. The
products of the Orient and the beans
of the western coast country are the
main competitors and compete unfairly
in quality. The collapse of the bean
market in Michigan in 1919 and 1920
is generally ascribed to “futures” be—
ing sold and the importations of “Asi-
atics” to make these "bear” prices
afford a profit on the imported stock
at the expense of the Michigan-grown
beans. In addition to the actual weight
of beans put on the market the import-

ed stock left a. bad taste in the mouths ‘

of the bean eaters, who turned to oth-
er foods and beans were neglected as
a. food, although of comparative cheap-
ness, as compared especially to pota-
toes. The damage comes, (1) from
future sales; (2) from Asiatic impor-
tations; (3) from the inferiority of the
imported stocks which deflected con-
sumers from beans as a food. The
first remedy for years for commercial
or food dislocations is the tariff and a
trip to the national capital for addi—
tional protection. Whatever one’s opin-
ion may be about the tariff it is a.
political impossibility for the crop of
1920, as it was for the Michigan bean
crop of 1919. There are, however, oth-
er plans more promising of maintain-
ing the merits of Michigan beans and
to hold the markets which those mer-
its demand. One method would be a
law compelling all canned stocks to be
labeled as to the contents, where
grown. The trade would then know
what they were buying. In the ab-
sence of such a law an , agreement
through the recognized channels of the
bean trade whereby reputable can—
ners and those only, would be sold
Michigan beans and the cans would
feature the Michigan brand. 5-.An ad-
vertising campaign would 'tell who
were canners of Michigan stocks and
quite effectively bar unfair competi~
tion of the “bear” canners’ who threat-
en or do import the inferior or cheap-
- inprico or quality.

day, and ,the chances are he will tell
you of the constantly increasing ex-
odus. from the farm of our most pro-
gressive boys and girls. Dollar-an-hour
factory wages are proving an all too
efllcient lure to draw the younger gen-
eration from the country, and it re-
quires but scant foresight to picture
the catastrophe which will inevitably
follow a long-continued trend in this
direction. _

And it is not money alone which has
made the city so dangerously attrac-
tive. More available amusement facil-
ities and multiplied social opportuni-
ties have played their part in building
the city’s appeal; while the most im-
portant factor of all has been that the
business life of the commercial world
has made a greater appeal to the
imagination than has the work of the
farm. ‘

In 'the past much has 'been said of
the romance of the industrial worldv—
little has been’ told about the farm.
Thrilling life stories of the great “cap-
tains of industry” are familiar read—
ing, finding their way even into the
text books of our schools; but how
seldom have the brilliant. successes of
our great agricultural leaders been
considered worth the telling. The
messenger boy grows up to be a bank
director; the section hand becomes
president of the road; but what hap-
pensto the young man who stays on
the old home place? This, unfortu-
nately, has too often been the way in
which our farm boys and girls have
been led to look at the whole question
of their life work.

-While the mystery and romantic
possibilities of work in the city~have
been thoroughly advertised, the case

'of the farm has been but poorly pre-

sented at best. It is only within very
recent years that effort has been made

country life, and to show that “play-
ing the game” in agricultural work re-
quires just as much ability and offers
fully as great chances for unusual re-
ward to the successful, as does any
other field of industry.
Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Take Active

Last year an army of more than
twenty thousand boys and girls of
Michigan were actively engaged in the

and are finding that big things may be
accomplished in the work. Through
personal contact with successful oper-
ations they are getting the vision of
scientific agriculture, and are learning
that the farm (instead of offering

merely the monotonous, hum-drum ex»
istence so often thought of), presents
a field which challenges their best ef-
forts and holds forth promise of rich
return.

for others to striVe for, and pointed
out the way toward a higher average
yield in the whole state.

History of Michigan Club ‘Nork.

not. start her work until 181.}. And yet
in these few yeais the club movement.
grew and spread until, as has: already
been mentioned, twenty thousand boys
and girls were actively reggaged in.

SUMMER PROGRAM OF THE NEW
YORK FARM BUREAU.

FARM Bureau managers of western
New York have recently held a
conference in Rochester to lay out
plans for the summer season. As one
result there will be fifty home labor-
saving demonstrations held in June
and July, givmg attention to electric
light systems, pumping and water sys-
tems and other facilities that make
easier the work of farmers’ wives.
. Better dairy cows, general improve-
ment of the herds, elimination of slack-
er cows and the general remedy for
raising the average of the dairy cow’s
production, both in milk and butter-
fat, were discussed. Probably the
longest and most important steps to-
ward such an end is the slaughter of
grade bulls and the substitution of the
thoroughbred sire. Persistence in' such
a course could have but one general
direction, that of bettering the herd.
Spraying was one of the principal
topics of discussion: Professor C. R.
Crosby, of the Department of Ento-

of fruit trees by mice, which has caus-
ed a greater amount of damage than
in many seasons past. Under normal

“This year, however,” he said, "due
to scarcity and the high prices of nur-
sery stock I am advocating the cutting

Plan to Pool M’cfizgan ’3 Céerry Crop

ry districts of Michigan, Winconsin and New York states, the Mich-
igan State Farm Bureau has called a meeting of the cherry grow~

ers of these states at Frankfort,

In the past there has frequently been conflict between the grow-

ers of these three states in the

marketing of their products and

as this condition has been disastrous to all, the Michigan growers
got in touch with those of the other two states and found sentiment

ripe for cooperation.

In the formation of better marketing arrangements of Michigan
cherries, the Michigan State Farm Bureau has been asked to take
an active part and’ it is possible that in the near ‘future more
sentatives of the Cadillac Potato Growers’ Exchange and theFmit
Growers' Exchange will be called together to consider plans at

assisting in this movement.
The cherry crop in Michigan t

his year has excellent prospects.

Estimates of the crop of the leading Michigan cherry counties for

this year are as follows:

Grand Traverse, 175,000 cases; Bennie, 100,000 cases; Manistee,

30,000 cases; Mason, 30,000 cases;

40,000 cases.

shortly after growth starts."

 

FARMERS COULD GET LABOR IF
ASSURED OF GOOD PRICES.

 

NO laborer is going to work on the

farm if as a whole he sees higher
wages and more important advantages
in town. We can’t intelligently ask
him to donate anything to the farmer,
nor much to food production. There
is no use begging labor to stay on the
farm, and that is not the idea. Neith-
er is there any use in begging farmers
to produce more food so we can buy
it cheap.

The farmer will produce a plenty, is
in the business for that very purpose,
if he can see how he can do it with
profit. We can't ask him to do it oth-
erwise. You can’t beg or drive any-
body back to the farm, nor do we want
to do '50. We would like to make con-
ditions, and make known conditions,

PRODUCE INSPECTION SERVICE.

 

THE Bureau of Markets of the fed-

this season inaugurate an inspection
service on fruits and vegetables at
shipping point, something that it has
had in mind for several years but
which is just now being worked out' in
a practical way insofar as the bureau
is concerned. ‘

This service will be started in Cali-
fornia about June 1 under the super-
vision ol: F. W. Read. who has for
several years been with the govern-
ment Bureau of Markets in Florida,
Kansas City, and for the last your in
California. Mr. Read will on the first

rot June become a joint employs of

BUY ONLY PURE SEEDS.

 

HE New York State Experiment

Station, through Assistant Botan- "

let M. T. Moon, is warning growers
throughout the state to be on the alert
for inferior "seed and suggests that the
farm bureau oflice be consulted in case
of doubt. The warning is as tollowsf
"last spring the county agent in
each county rendered valuable service
by warning farmers against purchas-
ing seeds from certain mail order seed
houses located in the middle west that
offered inferior seed for sale in this
state. Again this season these houses
and possibly some others are contin-
uing this kind of deceptive business.
They are quoting alluring prices and
sending advertising samples to New
York farmers. They are doing busi-
ness under the freedom of interstate
commerce and are immune to the op-
eration of New York state laws."
“From the very nature of'the cases,
substantiated by analyses/of the seeds
in our seed laboratory, we feel that
every farmer should be warned against
being taken in by such misrepresenta-
tions. No tamer should Send‘outside

Balancing Plant Food increases Gro

ICHIGAN is On‘epf the import-
D/l ant fruit states in the country.
The year just passed over, six
milion bushels of apples were grown,
making it rank as the sixth state, from
.point of total apple production in the
country. However, the production per
tree was not as satisfactory. Accord—
ing to the lastmens’us, more than sevo
en million apple trees of bearing age
in Michigan produced about twelve
million bushels of fruit, only a little
more than a bushel and a half a tree.
Of course, most of the bearing trees
produced much more, but the many
producing just a few or none at all,
brought the average yield down.

The answer is, better care of the
trees which are now producing good
yields, in order "to get even larger
yields, and complete renovation of the
orchards which are run dovv‘n. Prun-
ing, spraying, and proper cultural

_ methods, and sufficient plant food in

the orchard are all essential. It is one
phase of the latter which will be
treated here.

The need for plenty of plant food in
the orchard is one of« the essentials
which has been greatly overlooked. A
properly balanced ration is as neces-
sary, for the apple and peach and small
fruit as it is for an. animal. It is this
which produces the bearing wood, and
hence the fruit and quality of the fruit
is also dependent upon this. Proper
must be kept between the
amount of plant food elements obtain-
ed by the leaves frOm the air, and
thoseobtained by the roots from the
soil, in order to get the large, attrac-
tively colored and deliciously tasting
And if plant food is not present
in sufficient-quantities in the soil, the
roots can not get it-

An Extra Hundred Dollars Per Acre.

The Ohio Experiment Station some
years ago undertook constructive work
on run-down orchards in southeastern
Ohio. The yield in practically every
case was increased and insome cases
was multiplied byras much as ten. The
financial gain from this work was of:
ten in excess of one hundred dollars
per acre per year. Prefessor F. H.
Ballou, in charge of the work, makes
the following statements regarding the
results obtained:

  

, ,wth. Tothe soil .on the Left Ammonia
and Phosphoric Acid were Added,-While_to that on the Right Ammonia,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash _were App-lied.

(West Virginia Exp. Sta.)

"It is not in terms of dollars and
cents that we can measure the results
of those object lessons in profitable
fruit production on the formerly bar-
ren little farms among the hills of
southern Ohio. Farm mortgages have
been cancelled. New homes have been
erected or old ones remodeled and
made comfortable and convenient.
Boys and girls have been sent to col-
lege, who previously had not the least
hope of enjOying such a privilege.
New and sturdy teams of horses have
replaced the others less strong and
pleasing in appearance. Country life
and interests have been entirely re-

anticipated, undreamed-of blessings
have been showered, from formerly
neglected, abandoned apple orchards
merely existing on thin-soiled, weed-
covered or. closely pastured hillslopes
and crests.”

As good results are possible in Mich-
igan orchards.

Plant Food Controls Wood Growth.

The kind, form and amount of plant
food available for the use‘ of the plant
controls wood growth. Wherever one
of the essential plant foods is lacking,
that is—present in unavailable form
or in' insufficient amounts-satisfac-
tory growth of bearing wood is impos-
sible. \Vith fruits, as well as with all
other crops, each of the three essen-
tial plant foods has a specific function.

Ammonia is the stem and leaf pro-
ducer. It makes new wood, and gives
to the foliage the healthy green color
which by experience we associate with
thriftiness and vigor.

Phosphoric acid hastens maturity
and increases production of fruit.
This is seen on corn, is seen on wheat,
and is equally apparent, although of.
tentimes more important, on fruit
trees. ‘

Potash strengthens wood growth. It
also aids in producing healthy, disease-
resistant growth, the kind which al-
lows the production of quality fruits.

Plant Food Must be Balanced.

As mentioned earlier, the plant food
must be balanced. The best fertility
practice is that which grows enough
wood for a full set of fruit, but which
also controls the growth, ripens it in
time to prevent winter killing, and

oblem  

HE grave problem confronting the

serious-minded men in the petroleum

industry today, is to keep pace in
production with the seven-league strides
of the demand for gasoline.

'In ten years the production of crude oil

in the United States has increased only
96 per cent, while during the same
period the output of gasoline has in-
creased 560 per cent.

The demand for no other commodity in
general, use has increased to a degree
that even approximates the mark
reached by gasoline.

In ten years the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) has increased its output or
gasoline from 150 million gallons to
more than 600 million gallons a year.

It is apparent that this could not have
been accomplished except by intensive
application of improved, scientific meth-
ods of refining.

As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline
is held in bounds only by the sheer force
of selence.

Except for the ability of such institu-
tions as the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) to make a wide range of useful
products from that part of the crude oil
which is not used to make gasoline...
you would be paying a much higher}
price for gasoline than you pay today.§

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
bending every effort to increase its output
of gasoline to meet the demands and to”
sell it to you at- as low a price as possible.”

Law Mater: Consider Other Proé/em: of Interest to Farmers.

EDERAL highway construction is
coming to the front as a highly
important question in the minds
of many farmers and representatives
of farm organizations. I find, however,
that there is a difference of opinion as
to just what part of the good roads

‘program should be undertaken by the

national government.

There are a number of highway im-
provement propositions before con-
gress, but the Townsend bill is appar-
ently the only one that is just now
being seriously considered. This bill
has been recently redrat‘ted, and Sena-
tor Townsend is evidently desirous
that it shall be the foundation legis-
lation for the establishing of a practi-
cable system of permanent federal
highways that will serve to the best
advantage all the people of this
country.

Under the Townsend bill the high-
ways are to be constructed and main-
tained wholly by the federal govern-
ment without state or local aid. They
are to give ingress and egress at three
points in every state. It is further
provided that if these three points of
ingress and egress do not give each
state its proportion of federal aid, ad-
ditional roads may be constructed.
Two years will be spent in laying out
the national system, and the govern-
ment road builders, it is expected, will
cooperate with the. state and
road authorities with the ultimate plan
in View of a great network of high-
ways connecting the larger cities, 21
state road system connecting the
smaller cities and towns with the gov.
ernment roads and country roads con-
necting the remote farming communi-
ties with the state highways.

The federal highway council belives
that “it is the duty of the government
to take over about 60,000 miles of the
main highways to construct and re-
build, where necessary, as a national
system, the states to take over about
240,000 miles as a main state system
and the counties to take over some
300,000 miles of market county roads,
making a system of 600,000 miles of
which between 200,000 and 250,000
miles have been improved, leaving be-

»tween 300,000 and 350,000 to be im-

proved." The council is advocating
the creation of a federal highway com-
mission of five members, selected
geographically, with authority to take
over the present highway activities'of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the states
in the expenditure of present and fu-
ture appropriations for federal aid.

Prof. T. C. Atkeson, Washington rep-
resentativ'e of the National
while favorably impressed with the
purpose and main provisions of the
Townsend bill, stands with the Na-
tional Grange in its public highway
policy, as presented in these resolu-
tions adopted at the last session

“The present and potential develop‘

ment of high power motor trucks and. a
highspeed paSsenger cars practically '
Irmvolutionizes the highway conditions
and necessities at this country, and

local -

Grange, _

we believe the time has come when all
the national government activities
should be unified in a single adminis-
trative department, under such limita-
tion of powers as will secure the great-
est possible degree of efliciency and
economy in the expenditure of national
funds. ,

“In view of the large number of bills
which'have been introduced in the last
two or three congresses, and of the
failure of all the activities and organi-
zations interested in the promotion of
highway development and construc-
tion to agree upon the details of leg-
islation, we deem it inadvisable to ap
prove any specific “bill” at this time.
We favor the working out of a nation-
al highway law that will best serve
the welfare of the whole country and
distribute the expense of highway con-
struction equitably between the bone-
ficiaries. National Grange instructs
its authorized representatives to assist
in perfecting a law of this character in
accord with the needs of agriculture.

“For the present and until such time
as experience may demonstrate some
better plan, we favor the continuance
of the present cooperative plan be-
tween the national governmentand the
several states, with the primary pur-
pose of connecting farms of the coun-
try with. market towns, railway and
water transportation points, with in
creasing use of federal funds for that
purpose.”

There Will be hearings on the revis-
ed Townsend bill, soon, at which time
there will no doubt be much informa-
tion presented which will show the
necessity for federal aid in highway
construction, and the development of
a system that will meet the demands
of all classes.

Congressman John M. Beer, of North
Dakota, has introduced a bill in the
house to prevent gambling in the neo-
essaries of life and speculation in
stocks and bonds. It is known as the
Anti-speculation Act, and provides
that no person or persons shall buy or
sell any necessary unless it is the in-
tention to effect actual delivery of such
necessary. The term necessary in-
cludes any product or by-product which
is to be manufactured into food for
human beings, domestic animals or
poultry, fuel, wearing apparel, or other
commodity necessary to life. No per-

son is allowed to obtain a loan from'

any bank which is a member of the
federal reserve system, nor shall such
bank lend in any manner, any money
or credit with which to speculate in
necessaries.
provisions of this act are punishable
b‘y a fine of not more than $3,000 or by
imprisonment of not more than three
years, or both for the first offense, and
a fine of not more than $5,000 or im-
prisonment for five years, or both, for
each succeeding offense.

Wilful violations of the‘

been charged with having financed the
operations of speculators tothe extent
of enabling them to hold back the food
supplies and thereby farce up the
price, and it is the purpose ‘of the
Beer bill to prevent the banks from
lending their aid to food-holding pror-
iteers.

As a flayer of profiteers, Senator
Arthur Capper, of Kansas, has few
equals. Speaking on the high cost ,of
living, the other day, Senator Capper
said that “strikes and industrial disor—
der have come as the result of ranr
pant, long-continued and unrestricted
profiteering. No‘county can be enrich-
ed by the gouge process. Our delusion
of prosperity continues, but our busi-
ness is declining as might be expected.
Prices for American products have in‘
creased to such an extent that both
the home and foreign markets are fail-
ing us. The extent to which the peo-
ple have been bled by war and extor.
tion is almost unbelievable. And at
this moment the most brazen chal~
lenge we have had in the saturnalia of
greed comes from the gamblers in sug-
ar. A corner has etldently been form-
ed right under the eyes of the Depart-
ment of Justice. The canning season
raid is on. For years the sugar inter-
ests have annually and openly and
shamelessly robbed American house-
wives during the calming season."

Senator Capper quoted recent gov-
ernment reports showing that 791624
American corporations, many of which
have stockholders who are dodging the
income tax through stock dividends,
averaged gross profits of more than
$500,000,000 each in a single year. In
just one year during the War the gross
income of American corporations rose
from thirty-five and one-third billions
to eighty~four and a half billions. “Do
you suppose,” he continued, “that peo-
ple who pinch, scrimp, and are being
forced to do without many things they
need in order that we may double the
number of prewar millionaires, thrill
with patriotic ferver when they read
a lesson on thrift and one hundred per
cent Americanism from one of these
one thousand per cent tax-dodging
grandstanders ?”

Ample laws exist to check profiteer—
ing, according to Senator Capper, and
if the law enforcement officers of the
government cannot enforce the law
he thought they should resign.

Endorsing Senator Capper's denun~
ciation of profiteers, Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin, said the Department of
Justice was “Setting a few mousetraps
around the country when it ought to
be setting hear traps ”

There is a decided reeling in con-

, gross that the government through its

inactivity is largely responsible for the
present hold-up and high price of sug-
ar. and it is believed that only dras-
tic measures promotly put in force will

tion, but on the main dairy farms,
whether those of small farmer class,
with a herd of a dozen cows or less.
or a score of cows, are capable of. a
great improvement and this is of sim-
ple and inexpenSive means.

The very fact that milk is a food,
not only for infants but for grown peo-
ple as well, will suggest to every man
that the rules of ’cleanliness are far
below what they should be. The need
of cleanly precautions is increased be-
cause milk has a. peculiarly active
capacity for absorbing all odors, and
is a very favorable medium for the
growth and development of disease

Cows Kept Under Sanitary Conditions Produce Clean Milk.

bacteria, its color and taste are by no
means an indication of its quality.

The number of bacteria which con-
taminate the milk at. milking time vary
immensely with the conditions of the
stable. If milking takes place immedi-
ately after feeding and cleaning the
stable the number of bacteria from
this source is very high. Fresh air
out-of—doors does not contain many
bacteria and if milking could take
place in the open, free air, this source
of contamination would be almost ex-
cluded.

Milk is the only article of food in/

which nearly all bacteria grow rapidly,
and in it they multiply in an almost
incredible manner. ‘From a single
germ as many as two hundred may be
produced in three hours, ten thousand
in six hours, and two million in eight-
een» hours, and as the bacteria grow
'and increase in number they impair

the nutritive value of the milk, and;

produce new substances which in many
cases are poisonous.

In order to produce better milk we
must improve our sanitary conditions.

out suffering contamination. A 'soft
and muddy surface should be drained,
thepools filled in, and a new surface
made with some available material at
moderate cost, such as crushed stone,
gravel or cinders. . ‘

The sanitary conditions must travel
from the yards on down the path to
the stable. It would :be of no value
to have a clean yard without a sanitary
stable, when the farmer, on the ap-
proach of winter, puts his herd indoors

stormy weather, he exposes them to
danger hardly less fatal.
buildings which may be described as
a cow barn is constructed to suit the
needs of the dairy cattle, in a majority
of instances the winter quarters are a.
combination structure used for feed
stbrage, horse stable, wagon shedfand
general rubbish disposal, and generally
the herd will be allotted the basement
or ground floor beneath a low, dirty
ceiling, with scanty window space and
poor ventilation, keeping in circulation
the foul, air for months.

Inside the barn the manure is the
common source of contamination. The
sight of a dairy cow with manure
flanks is- so common that it has come
to be accepted as the distinction badge
of a dairy animal. It denotes neglect
and shameful laziness on the part of

the animals’ keeper and the man who
stands by and watches the noxious
stuff thicken day by day, is unfit to
associate with the dairy cow.

It is accepted that if; an animal is
dirty, the keeper, and not the animal,
is to blame. In summer when she is
pastured and at liberty to follow her
own devices, she can select her own
bed, and it is a clean one: she uses
the brush for a comb, and water pro-
vided by nature and aided by her
tongue, washes and grooms her own
body, keeping it free from bacteria.

The milker should take all possible:
sanitary measures as well as forcing
them on the ,cow. Before milking he
should thoroughly wash his hands and
arms in warm water well supplied with
soap, dress in special jacket and cap.
in order to avoid all dusting, and dis-
tributing of undesirable organisms.
Before beginning to milk. the milker
should wipe ed the teats with a towel,
which should be kept in the pocket 'of
the jacket at milking time. The milker
should be. careful not to handle a dirty
milking stool, wipe the udder or teats,
or brush the side of the animal with
the naked. hand. .The practice of lean-‘

should be abandoned,_ and the. prac-
tice,-o£ using covered milk pails should
be encouraged.‘.‘ , ' ' ,

HINMAN MILKER’

I

The simplest of all milkers, the one that has stood the longest

test of time and that has been used on more cows than
any other And, because it is so simple, its first cost and
upkeep cost are low and it requires less power to operate

it. lti Is by far the easiest milker to keep thoroughly
clean and therefore helps always to produce clean milk.

face a one billion dollar increase in
their annual sugar bill.

It has been shown at the hearings
that in August and September last the
Sugar Equalization Board recommends
ed to the President the purchase of
the Cuban crop of 1919, as had been
done in the case of the 1918 crop. It
was said that the Cuban crop could be
lpurchased for six and a half cents a
pound' at that time, a price which
would have permitted the sale of sug-
ar in the United States at eleven or
twelve cents a pound retail. The Pres-
ident withheld this approval and in
November when sugar was selling at
retail at ten cents a pound, the attor—
ney-general concurred in a price of
seventeen and eighteen cents at the
plantations for Louisiana sugar. The
effect of this action was to advance
the Cuban sugar price from six and
one-half to eleven cents a pound and
it has since goue to eighteen cents. A
conference between representatives of
the big refineries has been held, but
with little results, so far as I' have
been able to discover.

Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
is appealing to business men and col»
lege students to spend their vacations
working on farms. He says carefully
compiled reports to the department in-
dicate that the supply of farm labor is
only seventy-two per cent of normal,
compared with eighty-four per cent
last year, notwithstanding an increase
of twenty-five per cent in wages.

The National Forest Reservation
Commission, composed of the secretar-
. tea or Agriculture, interior and war,
and four members of congress, recom-
mends the purchase by the govern-
ment of land. in the eastern mountain
districts not suitable for agriculture to
' the extent or thirty million acres, and

that they be used for growing timber.

(Continued from page 730).

Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief of the
national forest service, strongly urges
not only the government purchase and
planting of tillable lands to forests,
but the encouragement of private in-
terests to plant and develop forests,
as a means of gua1ding against further

pap r famines, and lumber shortage.

Hersman farmers' collective bargain‘

the Volstead bill to get out onto the
floor of the house this session. The
committee on agriculture has ordered
a favorable report on the cold storage
regulation bill, under which all arti-
cles excepting fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles stored for more than thirty days
must be stamped to show the length
of time in storage.

The “don the overall” fad is popular
in Washington now, but it is question-
able whether it will very seriously
punish the clothing profiteers. There
are several million farmers and wage
earners in this country who wear over-
alls. Possibly throughout the nation,
after the “blue denim” movement has
subsided, it will be found that two
hundred thousand clerks, business and
professional men and politicians have
joined the overalls army. But the pub-
licity given the movement has already
enabled the dealers to boost the. price
of overalls and jumpers. If the price
is boosted one dollar a pair because of
this movement, it will cost the wage
earners and farmers in the aggregate
millions of. dollars, while. the clerks
will have the satisfaction of postpon-e
ing the buying o'l'their usual supply of
clothing a few weeks. The trouble

VERY Goodyear Tire Saver, like the

. Rim-Cut Patch illustrated, is designed
to insure that greater mileage which is the
purpose of the Goodyear Service Plan.

To-‘the fine quality of Goodyear Tires and

the convenience of their distribution, this

plan adds effective means of prolonging the
'5 usefulness of injured tires.

. "“wa _ _,._ ,.

 

, In the case of. a fabric break, for example, it
provrdes 1n the Goodyear Rim+Cut Patch a
dependable emergency repair which protects

 

 

the tire until a permanent repair can be made.

But in addition to t1re savers, the Goodyear
Service Plan provides also tire conservation
lessons, instructive advertising and the help-
ful advice of Goodyear Service Station Deal-
ers everywhere.

Take fulladvantage then of the GoodyearServ—
ice Plan. Ask your Goodyear Service Station
Dealer for the Conservation Bulletins; use his
advice; keep Goodyear Tire Savers in your car
——these are the means to greater tire mileage.

Experience hes— shown that mail is
carbonate of lime deposited by small
plants in shallow lakes. llany grew
ally soils contain comb was so that
lime in not necessary; or is at least.
only used in small quantities. How-
ever. the practical way or knowing
whether or not enouah Me is in your
soil is to ask yourself whether or not

- you have had a good stand of clever

recently. Considering the loss of clo-
ver seeding from drought or from oth-
er causes, ninety-five per cent of the
lack of seeding in the state is due to
lack of lime in. the soil.

Every farmer should know that the
inaction of the lime is not only that
it is or value to the plants which are
grown on a‘ lime soil. but that its
greatest value corner: in leading the
germs of the soil which take the nitro-
gen out of the air and make it avail-
able for plant use, and which live in
the soil and on the roots of legumes,
in the tubercles and nodules of clover,
alfalfa, soy beans and cowpeas. The
germs which break down the insoluble
substances in the soil need lime; the
germs which convert organic matter
into soluble material need lime, and
so the answer to the question as to
whether or not marl will be of any
use as a fertilizer can be stated affirm-
atively, even if you are getting a fair
stand of clover. It should be noted in
this connection that marling is a com-
mon practice in Europeancountries,
particularly, in the British Isles has it
reached a very high point of perfec-
tion. The practice of going over the
farm every six or seven years so that
every field has had a very heavy ap-
plication of marl once in seven years,
is very good. Speaking with old Scotch
farmers, one will find that this is con-
sidered most essential in their agri-
culture

The proceduie you ought to follow
is this: Find out by having a simple
test made by your county agent or the
agricultural college, whether or not
your soil is acid, then it will be neces-
sary for you to do a little testing of
your own, as to how much marl should
be applied, applying in strips of var-
ious quantities, up to as high as seven
yards to the were, and see for yourself
what application brings the best_ re-
sults. You will be readily convinced
that the drawing of marl is a profit-
able practice. if the marl is accessible.

POULTRY HOUSE QU ESTIONS.

 

We are planning on building a. hen
house this summer and would like
some advice. We are putting up a silo
of cement staves made by pressure,
staves eight inches by thirty inches,
and the company claims that it would
be suitable for a hen house. Is ce-
ment the proper material, and will it
make a hen house damp and cold,
even with prope1 ventilation? Is the
semi- monitor style any better than the
common slant roof? Also what about
muslin curtains? Does one need to
provide any more protection in cold
weather?

Washtenaw 00. Mrs. P. C.

The cement staves made by pres-
sure might make a good hen house as

PIN-HEAD OATS.

 

 

 

What are pin-head oats? V

 

What are
steel-cut oats? .
Mason Co._ G. E C. ‘ ;
“Pin” cats or “pin-head cats,” are 9

terms used in describing thin, poorly
filled kernels. During adverse seasons
oats may fail to fill properly and there
will be a large proportion of these pin
oats. Some varieties tend to carry an
greater proportion than others of
poorly filled oats. Oftentimes pin oats,
will consist of only the husks with a
mere vestige of kernels. A high pro-
portion of pin oats lowers the weight
per bushel and the feeding value of
the cats.

I am not familiar with the term
“steel-cut cats,” but think it may re-
fer to “clipped” oats. Clipped oats
are oats which have been driven by a.
strong blast of air against a steel cyl-
inder, which clips off the ends of the ; ,
oats, increasing the weight per bushel |
and reducing the volume. Oats are Q

St. Clair Co A. B.

Potatoes which have been exposed
to the sun are in no way injured for
seed purposes. If these tubers are of
good form and not diseased, there is
no reason why they cannot be used
for seed purposes. In fact, there is
some advantage in having the tubers '-.,
“greened,” or “green sprouted,” by ex- 1
posing them 'to the light for several
weeks before planting. Potatoes that 1

are treated in that way will come up
very quickly and the tubers which

Famous Psychologists

Try the REALISM TEST

—Scientists from American universities find that strange things happen during

Mr. Edison’s new‘musical test.

HERE’S no woman in this picture.
Anybody can see that. Yet these
three men declared they heard her.
I was there when thcy made their astound—
ing statements—in the l‘ldison Shop, on

/ Fifth Avenue, New York.

In the rear of this temple of music is a
great hall, where there’s usually a concert
going on. On this particular day its doors
Were half open. Inside it was half dark——
and silent as a. church at midnight.

Then a voice floated to my cars from
within. It was an exquisite voice,singing just
a sweet, simple song. It had that appealing
sort of beauty that reaches down inside you
and makes you feel lumpy in your throat.

I looked through the doors to see the
singer But I saw no singer at all~ just
three men seated with their backs toward a
phonograph. Their heads were bowed. The
magic beauty of the ballad ‘had fixed them
with its spell.

The music died away. The three men did

not stir; They seemed lost to the world.

Finally one found his voice: “Leonid
have sworn there was a living Singer behind

7 me. It was marvelous. Carried me back to H

a certain summer I spent in my youth ”

The secOnd man said:
ence pf 11 living singer. She was sing"ing-—-T

“I felt the pres~'

1

tree and unrestrained. 'l‘he accompaniment
seemed by a separate instrument.”

The third then spoke up :“Thc music filled
my mind with thoughts ofpeac ‘ and beauty.“

I didn’t know what to make of it until
some one explained. it was Mr. Edison’s
famous Realism 'l‘cst. These three dis»
tinguished men of art and science had been
trying it on themselvcsn—io see. whether
listening to the New Edison caused the
same emotions as listening to a living singer.

It you have plenty oz allelic hay it

i would Ire advisable to ma all the al-

falfa hay the cow will eat up clean
twice a. day. There is nothing better.
Besides this she should have a suit-
able grain ration- also, ground corn
and oats mixed equal parts by meas-
ure with, wheat bran. It makes a splens
did combination with alfalfa alonefor
reughage. I do not think you could
beat- it. You should feed about one

pound of this mixture of grain per day -

for every three to four pounds of milk,
which your cow yields in a day. if
your cow gives forty pounds of milk a
day she‘ ought to have ten pounds of
grain per day, and so on.

To have a dairy cow do her best it
is practiCaily necessary to have some
succulent food in the ration, like beets,
carrots, corn silage, anything that has
succulency. It is now so near grass
that this question of succulency will

soon be settled because your cow will

get some fresh grass, which is the best
succulent feed or all. If you have no
pasture you can mow a little grass to
give her once a day, or even occasion-
ally. It will aid in keeping the cow in
excellent condition. C. C. L.

HAY SUBSTITUTE.

 

I have ten acres of fall-plowed black
loam soil on which I would like to
raise a hay substitute. Would you
advise me to sow millet or Sudan

grass.
F. O. P.
I don’t think you could raise any-

thing on this black loam soil that will
give you as good results as field peas
and oats. This makesn prime hay. A
splendid substitute for clover or al-
falfa and on this rich soil you can raise
a. good crop. A ton and one-half to
two tons per acre of good hay and
possibly more, depending upon the
condition of the/soil.

Millet will make better hay than
Sudan grass. It is a better plant and
in either case you would want to sow
it thickly so as to get'a finer stem,
which will, make a better quality of
hay. The Sudan grass would probably
come up the second time and make-
pasture. This might be an advantage
that the other plants would not have.

WHICH BREED OF GEESE?

 

Which kind or geese would you ad—
vise a farmer to purchase, the Tou-
louse or African? Are the African 3.
large and hardy goose? How many
eggs would a goose cover? And how
should I take care of and feed the
small goslings ?——-H. B.

The Toulouse goose is most com-
monly seen on the farms, but the Afri-
can is also popular and has many
friends. The African is large and hardy
and increases in weight very rapidly.
Some breeders consider the African
the most profitable goose to raise. The
adult gander should weigh twenty
pounds and the goose eighteen pounds.
The young gander should weigh six-
teen pounds and the young goose four-
teen pounds. Some breeders of geese
are learning to like the White China
geese as they are heavy layers and
said to average around sixty eggs per
year. They should weigh around twelve
pounds for the adult gander and ten
pounds for the adult goose. Some
than the
heavy geese for use on the home ta-
bleau they are not so greasy and be-
lieved by some to have a better flavor
than the heavier breeds. However,

ally groWn proves that it is giving eon-

the first feed for goslings. It is given ’

Grass is

had time to be absorbed After that
a. mesh can be given three times a
day. Sometirties sculded cracked corn
is given. Keep the mother goose con-
fined for about a week so she will not
take the 'goslings too far on the range
and lose them or tire them out. After

“two weeks they need only one feeding _

a day if they haye a pasture rich in
green food. R. G. K.

 

A ROOT CELLAR.

 

I am building a. concrete cellar under '

my haymow, for storage of cowhorn
turnips Building entirely underground

and putting concrete floor oyer cellar

and balance of haymow. Will turnips
keep in such a place without a venti-
latihg flue? Also will you tell me what
is the best way to keep sugar beet tops
for feeding, either in a silo or other-
wise? I. M.

This excavation under the haymow
will, of course, make an excellent root
cellar, buLmeans ought to be provid-
ed for ventilation. You could do this
by' having one or two large tiles open
into the cellar and these can be easily
fixed so that you can close them if the
weather gets too cold. But when tur—
nips are first placed in the cellar in
the fall there should be some means of
ventilation.

Cowhorn turnips make good feed but
they are not considered as valuable as
rutabagas or beets because they are
liable to have a rather rank flavor and
the most of them are tough or more
fibrous than rutabagas or beets. Nev-
ertheless they furnish a. very good suc~
culent food.

Probably the best way to keep beet
tops is in a silo, but you can put them
in shallow pits in the ground as you do
potatoes, covering them so that they
will not freeze. C. C. L.

APNCONAS AND CAMPINES.

 

Can you describe Anconas and Silver
Campines as to color, size and habits?
I want to keep two flocks of hens sep
arately, and would like a small bleed
of hens similar to the Silva Laced
Wyandottes. Mrs. P. C.

The Anconas are a type of bird sim-
ilar to the Leghorn and the color is
mottled black and white. They often
look like black birds splashed all over
with large snowflakes. The weights
for the breed are cock, five and a half
pounds; cooker-cl, four and a half
pounds; hen, four and a half pounds;
pullet, three and a half pounds.

The Silver Campine is an attractive
bird. The male has white head plum—
age and the neck feathers are white
with a. little barring at the base. The

back is greenish black and barred with “

white and the same applies to the re-
mainder or the plumage. The same
combination of colors applies to the
hens. The weights of the Campine are
cock, six pounds; cockerel, five pounds;
hen, four pounds; pullet three and a
half. pounds.

Both of the breeds are considered
fine layers of large white eggs.’ At
present the Ancona. seems to have the
widest adistribution but the Campines
have many friends also. They are very
attractive when carefully bred accord-
ing to the Standard. R. G. K.

 

SEX OF GEESE.

 

l have a few gray Toplouse geese,
and as I wish to put port of them on
the market at Christmas time, I want
to know how to distinguish the sex.
Last year I sold the goose, as I was
unable to tell, and have never been
able to find anyone who could tell me
definitely how to distinguish them.

I think if you carry out your plan
as stated, that at the end of ten years
this field will grow a larger crop of
corn than it, will now. Ordinarily we
have to grow sods in order to keep up
the organic matter in the soil. There
isn’t enough stable manure produced
and could not be to keep all the land
in good condition in growing a crop
like Corn year after year. That kind
of farming has been tried in the cot-
ton fields of the south and also has
been tried in the Red River Valley of
the north with wheat, and in every in-
stance atter a certain number of years
the land gets into such poor physical
condition that profitable crops cannot
be grown, even though the land is rich
in plant. food. It is just as necessary
to have a supply of organic matter
(bumps) in the soil as it is to have
nitrogen and phosphoric acid and pot-
ash, the fact is, if it was not for the
necessity of this organic matter, farm-
ing would be very much simplified,
because we can furnish these essential
elements of fertilizers in the form of
commercial fertilizers, but we cannot
furnish- the organic matter unless we
grow sods to be turned down, or un-

worthless. Where the beans; We
pulled at the\proper time, and M
weather was experienced in curing-
bean‘ pods they are quite a valuable
roughage food.

Oats and barley are splendid grains
and cannot be improved for auportion
of the concentrates. They are, how-
ever, deficient in protein. What you
need in this ration is cottonseed meal
and oil meal. I cannot understand

 

it. If your cows have never been fed
cottonseed meal before, I would at
first mix the cottonseed meal with oats
and barley or some other grain and if
they once get used to it you will have
no trouble in getting the cows to eat
this food. I would suggest that you
grind one hundred pounds of oats, one
hundred pounds of barley, and one
hundred pounds of corn and mix with
this one hundred pounds of cottonseed
meal, that is, one-fourth of the grain
ration will be cottonseed meal. Feed
your cows all of the roughage they
will eat up clean, and then feed them
one pound of grain per day for every
four pounds of milk that they prodhce
in a day. In this case where you have
no succulent food in the ration I would
prefer to use oil meal in place of cot-
tonseed meal. I thinkxyou would get
better results. C. C. L.

stable manure.

The stable manure will furnish the
organic matter just as well as sods,
and by the use of commercial fertilizer
and the plant food in the manure there
is no question but what you can in-
crease the yield on; the average year
after year. ‘As a matter of_fact, this
very same idea has been tried out in a
careful way at Cornell University by
Professor Roberts, who was for many
years dean of the agricultural depart-
ment. He performed the very same
experiment that you are contemplat-
ing, raising corn for a period of ten
years on the same field, giving the
field an application of stable manure
annually and the yield of corn kept
gradually increasing. The tenth crop
was a much better crop than the first
one, so there is no theory about this.
If I remember correctly, Professor
Roberts did not use any commercial
fertilizer, simply the stable manure.

By using your commercial fertilizer
and then all the manure you produce
on this one field, I think that you will
_ more than keep up the fertility of the
soil on your plan and taking your farm
into consideration it seems to me that
this is a. mighty wise plan. C. C. L.

When one says to grow soy beans

there is to it. Of course, you can 'put
the rows closer together, twenty-eight
inches is enough room. It is better to
drill them than to plant in hills. You
can get a larger yield. Otherwise pre-

they get ripe, and cure as you would
clover hay. They can be left in swaths
much longer than clover hay and not
bleach out, because they do not seem
to absorb moisture. When ready to
rake, which may be one or two days,
time they should be put in cocks and
left till they go through the sweating
process. Do not hurry 'them on ac-
count of weather. '

The best land for soy beans is the
best land for corn, although soy beans
will make a better growth on poor
land than corn will, but if you want to
get a big crop you have got to have
good soil the same as for any other
crop. . '

Where soy beans have not been
grown on field before, the seed should
be inoculated with proper bacterin.
This can be done by the glue method.

roots of soy beans that contain well

Spark Plugs and
Harrowing

HEN you're out in the field, far from the barn,

and one of your spark plugs starts to “miss”
-you have to hold up the harrowing till you can put
in a new plug. Valuable time lost.

The special construction of Bethlehem Spark Plugs
is your best assurance against such delays. In the
de Luxe Tractor Plug, the mica is wrapped around
the center spindle, then reinforced with mica washers
pressed into a granite-like whole—the only kind of
tractor-plug that can “stand the racket."

The great International Harvester Company, after
exhaustive tests, has adopted Bethlehem plugs as
standard equipment. Bethlehem Automobile and Truck
Plugs are equally dependable. Studebaker, Marmon
and 48 other manufacturers equip with Bethlehem.

Write for free copy of "Hit or Miss?", which tells
you what you want to know about spark plugs.

man this could be, who could compel Obedience from wind and

lift her up to life and strength. Have we secn anything like that
in these days?

On a part of this landOpe’n-yard ma-
n’ure has been applied at the rate of.
four tons .per acre to corn and wheat,
or eight tons for each five~year rota.-
tion, resulting in a total annual value
of produce of $42. This manure should
have carried as much nitrogenas has
been given in nitrate of soda, together
with about half as much potassium as
has been given in muriate of potash.
It 'should also have carried three—
fourths as much phosphorus as has
been given in acid phosphate, but its
effect has been materially lower than
that of the full dressing of chemicals.

In another experiment on limed land
en the same farm, the same quantity
of eight tons of open-yard manure has

been applied in one dressing to corn,

grown in a three-year rotation of corn,
wheat and clover. and has produced
an annual value of $45. When this
manure has been reinforced with 320
pounds of acid phOSphate, the 'annual
value of produce has risen .to $55. thus
giving the same increase for acid phos-

320 pounds of acid phosphate, forty

nit1ogen and 128 pounds of potassium i

Following me some of the points'
brought out in these expeliments: !

1. At the prices used, there has been
an annual loss 01 $3. 00 to $4 ()0 an ac1e ’
or a total loss for the eight tons of
n1anu1e of $9. 00 to $12, for allowing.(
the manu1e to lie in the 'bainyaid in— '
stead of sp1ead1ng it immediately from‘
the stable.

2. The manure has fallen far short-
of supplying the demand of the soil:
for phosphorus, 320 pounds of acid
phosphate having added $9.00 to $10
annually or a total of $27 to $30 for
each iotation to the effect of the eight
tons of manure.

3. That the manure has been an
effective and economical carrier of ni-
trogen and potassium is shown by
comparing this table with the one first
given. On most farms the net value
of the produce, after deducting cost
of the treatment, will be very much
greater when the nitrogen and potas-
sium are furnished in manure than
when they are purchased in chemicals.

GOOD EXAMPLE.

A little girl in Jersey who had a
bantam was disappointed at the small-
ness of the first egg laid by the bird.
Her ideal egg was that of‘the ostrich,
a specimen of which lay on the table
in the parlor. One day the ostrich egg
was missing from its accustomed
place. After a prolonged search it
was found near the bantam’s nest, and
on it was written these words: ,

f‘Something like this, please. Keep
on trying.” ‘

Horsepower—plenty of ib-stripped of all unnecessary
dead weight! Horsepower for draw bar and belt! At the
right price—for both first cost and upkeep! That’s what
every farmer wants. That is what the designers, engineers
and producers had in mind when they developed the SAM-
SON MODEL M TRACTOR.

You want a tractor that will take the place and perform
the duty of a barn full of horses, without costing you a
fortune or a big part of your crop to buy and maintain.
That is exactly the kind of tractor you get in the SAMSON
MODEL M.

It's the last word in modern, down-to-the-minute tractor
construction. It is not like the average “I” beam and chan-
nel steel frame tractor that weighs so much that it takes a
large amount of its power for sell-propulsion. It is a close-
couplcd power unit all by itself from radiator to rear wheels.

A ROMANCE oF

.h

 

 

By Peter B. Kym ' ' . L

THE REDWOODS

 

 

“Only because it is- an unusual
thing £01 a young man to do, although
afte1 all, why shouldn’t he send me a
blackberiy pie if he thought a black-
beriy pie would please me more than
an armful of roses? Besides, he may
send the roses tomorrow.”

“Most extraordinary!” the Colonel
reiterated.

“What should one expect. from such
extraordinary crinkly smile that is
extraordinary fine-looking young man
with an extraordinary scowl and an
extra-ordinary crinkly smile that is
friendly and generous and free from
masculine guile. Why, I think he’s
just the kind oflman who would send

, a girl a blackberrypie.”

The Colonel noticed a calm little
smile fringing her generous mouth.
He wished he could tell, by intuition,
what she was thinking about—and
what effect a hot wild-blackberry pie
was ultimately to have upon the value
of his minority holding in the Laguna
Grande Lumber Company.

CHAPTER IX.

OT until dinner was finished and
father and son had repaired to
the library for their coffee and
cigars did Bryce Cardigan advert to
the subject of his father’s business
affairs.

“Well, John Cardigan," he declared
comfortably, “today is Friday. I’ll
spend Saturday and Sunday in sinth
sloth and the renewal of old acquaint-
ance, and on Monday I’ll sit in at your
desk and give you a long-deferred va-
cation. How about that program,
pard?”

“Our affairs are in such shape that
they could not possibly be hu1t or bet-
teled, no matter who takes charge of
them now,” Caldigan 1eplied bitterly.
“\V’eie about through. I waited too
long and trusted too far; and now——
well, in a year we’ll be out of busi-
ness. ”

“Suppose you start at the beginning
and tell me everything right to the
end. George Sea Otte1 informed me
that you’ve been having trouble with
this Johnny- -con1e lately, Colonel Pen-
nington.1s' he the man who has us
where the hair is short ?”

The old man nodded.

“The Squaw C1eek timber deal,

eh!” Bryce suggested.

Again the old man nodded. “You
wrote me all about that," Bryce con-
tinued. “You had him blocked which-
ever way he turned—~so effectually
blocked, in fact, that the only pleasme
he has derived from his investment
since is the knowledge that he owns
two thousand acres of timber with the

walk in it, look at it and admire it—
in fact, do everything except log it,
mill it, and realize on his investment.
It must make him feel like a holly
jackass ”

“On the other hand,” his father re-
minded him, “no matter what the Col-
onel’s feeling on that score may be,
misery loves company, and not until
I had pulled out of the Squaw Creek
country and started logging in the San
Hedrin watershed, did I realize that I
had been considerable of a. jackass
myself! ,
“Yes,” Bryce admitted, “there can
be no doubt but that you cut oft your
nose to spite your face "

There was silence between them ffll‘
several minutes. Bryce th

down to the bay, to crash through the
mg- poem at tidewater and continue
out to the open sea. In his mind’s eye
he could still see the red- ink figures on
the profit- and loss statement Sinclaii.
his father’s manager, had presented ‘ai‘.
the end of that year.

The old man appeared- to divine the
trend of his son’s thoughts. “Yes.

Bryce, that was a disastrous year,” 119‘

declared. “The mere loss of the logs
was a severe blow, but‘in addition I
had to pay out quite a little moneypto
settle with my customers. I was load-
ed up with low-priced orders that year,
although I didn’t expect to make any
money. The orders were merely tak—
en to keep the men employed. You
understand, Bryce! I had a good crew,
the finest in the country; and if I had
shut down, my “men would have scat-
tered and—well, you know how hard
it is to get that kind of a crew togeth-
er again. Besides, I had never failed
my boys before, and I couldn’t bear
the thought of failingthem then. Half
the mills in the country were shut
down at the time, and there was lots
of distress among the unemployed.- I
couldn’t do it, Bryce.”

Bryce nodded. “And when you lost
the logs, you couldn’t fill those low~
priced orders. Then theinarket com-

» menced to jump and advanced three

dollars in three months—"

“Exactly, my son.
ors began to crowd me to fill those
old orders. Praise be, my regular cus-
tomers knew I wasn’t the kind of lum-
berman who tries toicrawl out. of fill-
ing low-priced orders after the market
has gone up. ‘Nevertheless I couldn’t
expect them to suffer with me; my
failure to perform my contracts, while
unavoidable, nevertheless" would have
caused them a severe loss, and when
they were forced to buy elsewhere, I
paid them the difference between the
price they paid my competitors and the
price at which they originally placed
their orders with me. And the delay
in delivery caused them further loss."

“How much?”

“Nearly a hundred thousand—to set-
tle for losses to my local customers
alone. Among my orders I had three
miHion feet of clear lumber for ship-
ment to the United Kingdom, and these
foreign customers, thinking I was try-
ing to crawfish on my contracts, sued
me and got judgment for actual and
exemplary damages for my failure to
perform, while thedemurrage on the
ships they sent to freight the lumber
sent me hustling to the bank to bor-
row money ”

He smoked meditatively tor a min-
ute. “1’ ve always been land poor,” he
“Never kept

much of a reserve working-capital for '

emergencies you know. .Whenever I
had idle money, I put it into timber in
the San Hedrin watershed, because I"
1ealized that some day the railroad

would build in from the south. tap ,

that timber, and double its value. I' ve
not as yet found reason to doubt
the wisdom of my course; bu "——he
sighed—“the railroad is a long time
coming!”

building of a railroad that would cost ”-

had stuck to await that indefinite day .

when its finances and the com age of
its boaid of directors should prove
equal to the colossal task of continu-
ing the road two hundred miles
through the mountains to Sequoia on
Humboldt Bay. For twenty years the
Humboldt pioneers had lived in hope
of this; but eventually they had died
in despair or were in process of do-
ing So.

“Yes, but not in my day. And when
it comes, a stranger may own your
San Hedrin timber and reap the re;
ward of my lifetime of labor.”

Again a silence fell between them,
broken presently by the old man.

It will come,”
“It’s bound

“That was a mistake—logging in the ~

San Hedrin," he observed. “1 had my
lesson that first year, but I didn’t heed
it. If I had abandoned my camps there,
pocketed my pride, paid Colonel Pen-
nington two dollars for his Squaw
Creek timber, and rebuilt my old log-
ging-road, I would have been safe to—
day. But I was stubborn; I'd played
the game so long, you know—I didn’t
want to let that man Pennington out-
game me. So I tackled the San Hedrin
again. We put thirty million feet of
logs into the river that year, and when
the freshet came, McTavish managed
to make a fairly successful drive. But
he was all winter on the job, and when
spring came and the men went into
the woods again, they had to leave
nearly a million feet of. heavy butt
logs permanently stranded in the slack
water along the banks, while perhaps
another million feet of lighter logs
had been lifted out of the channel by
the overflow and left high and dry
when the water receded. There they
were, Bryce, scattered up and down
the river, far from the cables and log-
ging—donkeys, the only power we could
use to get those monsters back into
the river again, and I was forced to
decide whether they should be aban-
doned or split during the summer into
railroad ties, posts, pickets and shakes
«commodities for which there was
very little call at the-time and in which,
even when sold, there could be no
profit after deducting the cost of the
twenty-mile wagon haul to Sequoia,
and the water freight from Sequoia to
market. So I abandoned them."

“I remember that phase of it, old
partner.”

"To log it the’third year only meant
that more of those' heavy logs would
jam and spell more loss. Besides,
there was always danger of another
cloud~burst which would put me out of

For the second time in his life the1

thrill that was akin to pain came to
Bryce Cardigan. ‘He laughed. “It ,1”
,had known you were calling, Miss
Sumner," he said. “I shouldn’t have
growled so.” - - , -

“Well, you’re fergiven~for several
reasons, but principally for sending
me that delicious blackberry pie. or
course, it discolored my teeth tempor-
arily, but I don’t care. The pie was
worth it, ' and you were awfully dear
to think of sending it. Thank you so
much.”

“Glad you liked it, Miss Sumner. I
dare to hope that I may have the priv-
ilege of seeing you soon again.”

“Of course. One good pie deserves
another. Some evening next week,
'when that dear old daddy of 'yours
can spare his boy, you might be inter-
ested to see our burl-redwood-panelled
dining-room Uncle Seth is so proud of.
I'm too recent an arrival to know the
hour at which Uncle Seth dines, but
I‘ll let you know later and name a
definite date. Would Thursday night
be convenient?”

“Perfectly. Thank you a thousand
times.”

She bade him good-night. As he
turned from the telephone, his father

looked up. “What are you going to
do tomorrow, lad?” he queried.

“l have to do some thinking tomor-
row,” Bryce answered. “So I’m going
up into Cardigan’s Redwoods to do it.
Up there a fellow can get set, as it
were, to put over a thought with a
punch in it.” ,

"The dogwoods and rhodendron are
blooming now,” the old man murmur-
ed wistfully. Bryce knew what he
was thinking of. “I’ll attend to the
llowers for mother,” he assured Car-
digan, and he added fiercely: “And
l'll attend to the battle for father. We
may lose, but that man Pennington
vr‘ll know he’sbeen in a fight before
we -fin——”

He broke off abruptly, for he had
just remembered that he was to dine
at. the Pennington house the following
Thursday—and he was not the sort of
man who smilingly breaks bread With
his enemy.

(Continued next week).

SIMPLE WANTS.

If a fairy offered to grant you a
wish, you might choose an automobile,
or a palace, or perhaps a soda foun-
lain. But fancy desiring above all
things a lead pencil! Yet, according
to letters from missionaries, there is
nothing that the boys of North China
crave so much. One little lad, who
received a pencil of his very own, tied
it about his neck and wore it for many
days as an ornament before he could
be persuaded to sharpen it.

‘ IF YOU LIVED ON THE MOON.

Of course you couldn’t really live
on the moon, because there is no air
there; but if you didn’t die»—

You could jump thirty-six feet in the
the air, since the force of gravitation
is one-sixth of what it is here.

You could not speak, because there
would be no air to make sound waves.

You could not smell, because smell-
ing requires air to carry particles of
the substance to your nose.

You would have a whole month to
work and play in every day; for'the
moon takes a complete spin on its

, axis in just the same time that it takes '

to go around the earth—~that is, twen-
ty-seven and one-third days, or what
' we call a lunar month.-——Everyland.

* Mayne More-«By U72c/e Ed.

F all the letters that come tome,

there are~none that I prize more
. . than. those that are written by
boys and girls.
when these young folks have eonfi-
dence enough in me to sit down and
tell me their hopes and aspirations
and ask what I think about the plans
they have for carrying on their life

_ work.

Every little while a letter comes ask-
ing it I would advise the writer to do
this, that or the other thing. Not
long ago a boy from Maryland wrote

me asking if I knew where he could'

get a little place to raise hogs on. He
wanted to go into it on quite a big

scale and felt sure he Would succeed. _

He thought it might be that the local-

ity where I lived, the southern tier of‘

New York state, would be a ood lace: , _ _
g p ‘ ltakmg a 11ttle tr1p on a small steamer

to start in.

Well, I had to tell this young friend
that the farmers of this section do not
raise hogs as much as they docows,
and that I doubted the wisdom of his
coming here to go into the hog raising
business. It costs heavily to buy feed
here, as it all, or nearly all, must be
shipped in from the west. So it seem-
ed to me best that he should go where
the cost of production would be as low

as possible and themarkets for sell-,

ing good at the same time. In short,

I tried to counsel this boy just as I.

would like another to advise One of
my boys under similar circumstances.

. But what does me the most good of
all is to see so many young folks
ready and willing to be helped in this

' way. You know, sometimes boys and

girls think they can get along without
a great deal of advice. They do not
like to listen to.the counsel of‘those
who have had more experience than
they have themselves. This is some-
times _a dangerous way to look at. it.
I have known of a good many who
have just gone ahead and followed
their own desires and made had work
of it. It is a very delicate piece of
business to venture to advise other
folks, at best. So many times we do
not understand all the conditions well
enough to speak intelligently. Then

I am always thankful:

_old man was the pilot.

:we may send a boy or a girl in the
:very direction that Would be worst £01

him or her. ,
But to be willing to sit down with

_a good man or wernan and talk things
'over, heart to heart,

certainly, does
speak well for the young folks-:1 Often

should do inra crisis, it we‘goto one

a young man to do this.
boys and girls that it is dangerous to
contract such and such habits or to do
certain things and they will simply
laugh at it and go on doingjust as
they have a mind to. Iremember once

just below the falls of Niagara. An
I satwhere I
Could watch him. A young fellow
stood by his side, who wanted to get
the feel of the wheel on his hands;
and the old pilot stepped back and let
hin1,try it. For a time the water was
smooth and all went well, but as we
got up nearer to the great cataract
the river was rougher and the little
craft began to quiver.‘ Then the old
man stepped to the front and took the
wheel out of the hands of the boy. He
knew the course and the danger. He
did not dare to trust the young man
with that precious cargo.

Now, there is something for us here.
Not yet have young folks learned the
channel of life. Those who are older
have, and they have learned, often by
bitter experience, where the danger
lies, and how anxious they ale to keep
their boys and girls and young friends
from making the mistakes that .may
cost peace and happiiess in later life!
So I say, it is fine-to want the counsel
of older people and splendid to be will-
ing to follow it after it has been giv-
en. The making of a choice has at
last with each one of us, but.we do
well to seek carefully all possible light

upon the best way of making. that
choice.
not hurry, but decide very carefully.

Many Divisions of Work.

The branches of work taken up by
different clubs are many. The pro-
jects covered might be divided rough-
ly into four main divisions: Garden,
live stock, household, and handicraft
work. Corn clubs, bean clubs, potato,
clubs, and general gardening clubs fall
under the first group, the home garden
work enlisting the largest number'of
supporters. Pig, calf, poultry and rab-
bit clubs are chief among the live
stock‘units; While garment making,
hot lunch, and canning groups appeal
particularly to the young house-
keepers. .

All of this great variety of club
work, however, works toward the same
general end. Better methods of agri-
culture and a higher plane for rural
life in general are goals toward which
the boys and girls strive, and experi-
ences these young farm people go
through in their club activities will
leave their mark upon future genera-
tions.

   
  
 
   
   
       
   
       
    
   
  
  
  
 
   
 
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
   
  

 

The development of trained leaders
is an important factor. In summariz-
ing the vital principles back of the
whole club system, B. A. Turner, state
leader, has the following to say:

“To teach and demonstrate new and
better practices in farming and in

The boys of today are the farm man-
agers of tomorrow; the girls of today
are the home-builders of tomorrow,

-Make Short Work of g
Short or Long Grain

HEN some of your grain comes up short and stunted, especially

on dry, gravelly knolls, and some of it grows tall and heavy, so that
it lodges and tangles—diam you have a harvesting problem—unless you
own at McCormick, Deering, or Milwaukee Grain Binder.

With these binders it is possible to cut I %-inch stubble—— get right
down close to the ground. The curve of the guards and wide range of
platform adjustment permits doing this. And the reel is designed to
handle grain in any condition. It can be lowered, raised, swung for-
ward or thrown back almost instantly to accommodate short, long or .
tangled grain. The binding attachment can be adjusted quickly for !
short or tall grain, and has a band-placing range of from IO to 24 inches

The names McCormick and Decline and Milwaukee are favorably known
wherever there is agriculture. They are guarantees of high quality and operating
efliciency. Almost 90 years of harvesting machine development and satisfactory
service in the fields of the world stand behind them.

See your nearby International dealer now in regard to your binder for early ‘
delivery. Place your reliance also on McCormick, Deering, or International in,
high-quality twine. Meanwhile, may we send you a descriptive catalog showing '
latest improvements and features in the world-standard harvesting machines?

- “Service”

HE American people are great
on catch words. Someone coins
a phrase or makes use of a little
known word, and over night everyone
from Maine to California is working
his mind overtime in an effort to get
the new expression into his conversa-
tion as often as possible. - Some of
them stick because they are so useful,
while many more die of overwork in—
side of a season. One which has been
with us a long time and bids fair ’to
stay is “Service.” There are public
service corporations, service stations
for‘autoists, the service promised by
every progressive firm, and hotels
with “the finest service.”
On every hand We hear Of “service,”
but few, very few of us, ever get it.

\Vhat sort Of service does your phone‘

give? I’d hate to hear you answer, so
I’ll hasten on to the mails, the express
companies, the man that promised you
glass for your windows, and the deal-
er who was going to have your new
flivver for you weeks ago. Mostly you
are still waiting for deliveries Of ev—
erything promised.

And the much talked of service to
the state, where is it? Plenty of men
and women to serve on election boards,
serve on commissions, that work only
one day in the year and that on pay
day. Plenty to act on investigating
committees, thousands to make speech-
es and tell what the country needs,
but how many to take Off their coats
and gO to work? One hundred con-
gressmen and their families stand
ready to serve the country by taking
a trip to investigate the Orient, while
tens of hundreds ,Of farmers will be
unable to raise a full crop because of

Orientals than months of investigating
at first hand could accomplish.

The trouble with us all is that we
are all looking to get service and none
of us ready to give it. I’ll amend that
by saying few of us are ready to give
it; for 18. pitiful few among us still
have the old—fashioned idea that it is
better to give than to receive. Two
thousand years ago One came to the
earth who preached a new doctrine—
the doctrine that happiness lies only
along the line of doing for Others. He
went about doing good, not seeking
money nor fame nor empty honors."
He was among men as One who serves
and in every generation since then
there have been a few who have fol-
lowed His example.

It is these few who will save the
world today, the few who are willing
to give with no thought of reward;
whose thought is of the quality of the
work they do and not of the amount
of pay they draw. The few who real-
ize that what the Country needs is
deeds, not empty talk. They are not
making much stir; indeed, they are
scarcely noticed. Their quiet self-ef—
t'acement is rather scorned, but. they
can afford to overlook the contempt
of men, for they,‘only, have the key
to happiness.

,Service is a grand word if we con-‘

sider it from the right angle. But we
must" always -think of it in' the light
of what we give, and not what we are
to get. If we all make it our business
to give service, we can trust to get-
ting it. DEBORAH.

The simplicity of its culture, adap-
tability to soils, and production'of nu.
merous flowers make the dahlia a gen—
eral favorite in climates where. atmos-
pheric conditions are mederate. The
paint is a perennial but tender to frost,
so that it is necessary to lift the roots
in the fall, store them during the win-
ter, and plant out in the spring.

The planting of entire clumps some-
times leads :to failure in‘ producing
flowers, the strength of the plant be-'
ing spent in foliage growth. It is there-
fore advisable to divide the old clumps,
using but a. single tuber. As this tu-
ber should contain a part of the collar
of the plant where the new buds oc-
cur, it is best to wait until buds de-
velop before planting. . l

The distance apart for planting var-
ies with the varieties, but for general
purposes three to four feet are usu-
ally left between the plants. The time
of planting has been a matter of dis-

ly planting is not as satisfactory as
late. To flower properly the wood must
be young and succulent, this condition
being obtained only through a contin-
uous period of growth Without a check.
Early-started plants are severely
checked by the heat of midsummer
and either fail to flowenat all or are

killed by frost before flowering. The ,

last of May or early June is consider-
ed the best period for planting.

Light soils are best suited for dahl-
ias. 0n very light soils manure or
other humus-producing substances
should be introducedito improve the

moisture-holding capacity, while heavy '

soils should be lightened by the intro-
duction of sand, lime, sheep manure,
or bulky straw manure. ‘
Dahlias may be allowed to develop
unrestricted, a stake being driven to
each plant to support the stem; or
the terminal shoots may be pinched

out after three to four pairs of leaves ,

are formed, this checking the terminal
growth and producing heavy, stocky
stems capable of self-support.

Thorough cultivation, to conserve
moisture is. essential. A mulch or

leaves. grass clippings, or well rotted
manure may be used during the sum- ,

mer for this purpose Watering should

only be practiced if done regularly,
the ground being thoroughly soaked at '

intervals, depending upon the weather.
More sprinkling of the ground is dele-
terious, though spraying the tops dur-

beneficial.

Nichols-Shepard I
Oil-Gas Tractor

It’s the result of 72 years’ experience in
building threshing machinery.

When gas engines first came into general
use, owners wanted to use them on
'threshers as well as other belt machines
about the farm. But the usual gas engine
was too light. It lacked the power needed
for keeping up speed in the thresher.

We have answered this for you in the
design of this Oil—Gas Tractor. Its fly-
wheel is extra large and heavy. It insures
not only a steady running machine but
reserve power not stalled with overfeed-
ing, wet bundles, etc. ’

Besides being a good thresher power plant
it is a practical tractor for general tractor
work. Burns kerosene or distillate.

Stop Losing Chicks

Put Avicol in the drinking water.

Most people lose half of every hatch;
and seem to expect it. Chick cholera or
white diarrhoea. is the trouble. The U. S.-
yernment states that over half the
chicks hatched die from this cause.

An Avicol tablet in the
drinking water, will positivelyi
save your little chicks from
all such diseases. Inside of 48
hours the sick ones will be as
lively as crickets. Avicol
keeps them healthy and makesl
them grow and develop.

Mrs. Vannie Thackery, R. F. D. 3. St.
Paris. O...Writes: “I had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven't lost any since.
They have grown wonderfully."

It costs nothing to try Avicol.‘

Mr. Eckard has not only been able
to show this remarkable yield but has
accomplished it under the handicap of
poor housing. There is no poultry
house on the lot where he rents but
there is a barn twenty-four feet square.
On this barn floor he has one hundred
and forty-five pullets. On the north
side of the barn there is a, shed and
here he has housed the eighteen old
hens that for more than a year have
given better than fifty per cent egg
yield. Both of these buildings are
dark and afford the poorest kind of
housing.

Mr. Eckard has clearly demonstrated
that egg production is a matter of type

have been able to point with pride to

distinction among the less thrifty in
the community of being “practical”
farmers. We might add in passing
that many of the farmers of this type
are not open-minded, they do not favor
good roads and good schools and they
resent the farm bureau movement. It
has also been my observation that few
children from these homes remained
on the farm or in the country but
were actually driven from home by
reason of an over-abundance of hard
labor and little or no opportunity for
social and recreational diversion.
Times, however, are changing for the

Sick Baby Chicks?

There is only one way to deal with baby chicks
and that is to keep them well. Doctor-lug a bun-
dred or more chick- is mighty discouraging work.
It's pure carelessness to lose more than 10 per
cent or chicks. from hatching to full growth. Many
lose 40 per cent to 60 per cent, and even more. 'No

reasonable number of good hogs, and

ditions to interfere with, his genef'al
system of management will duringa

' series of years get reasonably satis-*
factory results, while the inaan‘d-out .

hog grower will rarely hit the, mark at
Whichhe is aiming. Men who ’have

‘followed 'a definite system of crop

growing and feeding hogs during peri-
ods of depression, conducting their
business along approved lines with re-
spect to economy, have. made as satis—
factory profits as those made by the
successful farmers in other lines of
live stock husbandry.

In common with other lines of live
stock breeding and feeding the farmer
who feeds hogs must assume hisshare
of the risks during the next two or
three years. Hog prices have recently
experienced a decline which is sure
to result in decreased production of
pork in 1920. 'But with industry on a
prosperous basis, labor sharing in the
profits to a greater extent than before
the war, and with no restrictive meas-
ures on meat consumption, the ele-
ment of risk incidental to finishing

cause prudent men to take a pessimis-
tic view of the situation. It is a time,
however, when every feeder should
adept a .safe and conservative policy
and not attempt to feed more hogs
tha‘n he canfinish for market in'good
condition without investing too heav-

. ily in purchased feedstuffs.

Economy in the use of feeds and the
adoption of labor-saving methods are
imperative, and short feeding periods
in which cheap bulky feeds play as
important a part as consistent with
rapid gains will undoubtedly yield the
greatest net profit. High prices for
grain feeds are always subject to sud-
den and violent fluctuations which
have a tendency to make the market-
ing of hogs more of a gamble than is
the case during normal times. In the
face of present marketing conditions
the hog grower is" justified in planning
his feeding operations so that he can
market his hogs at different times of
the year, rather than following the
common practice of having them all
conditioned at one time, and depend-
ing upon his good luck to carry him
through. Sacrifices that frequently
result from this method are sufficient
to justify feeders to practice a close-
to-shore policy, and not be forced to
put their hogs on the market at a time
when it does not want them.

Ample provision should be made for
the supply of suitable feeding mate
rials. Many a hog grower has over~
looked the‘ feed problem only to real-
ize that putting weight on a. large
drove of hogs involved serious outlays.
In his natural environment the'hog is
a forager and roughage consumer, so
that the skill of the farmer to utilize
such feeds to the most profitable lim-
its ensures far greater profits than can

feeds alone. Successful‘hog feeding
consists of feeding the materials you.
have at hand in the proper combina-
tions so that all of the needs of the
pig for _making the most growth and
fat in the quickest time will be satis~
fled. If the farm dees not supply all
of the materials, it will be necessary
to purchase what is heeded. Just
what feed will prove the most eco-
nomical and efficient depends upon the
price of feeds and their availability.

While corn is the most important
grain feed there are many times when

Operations‘ in case the corn crop tails.
Not-only..will they; prove ofrgreat val-

ue at such times. but they may be :
used to good advantage to balance up

the pretentiontentbf the ration when
corn is being fed in liberal amounts to
the growing pigs and breeding stock.
These feeds will save many dollars in
the purchaSe of protein concentrates
and: prove an efl'icient substitute fer
corn '1: case'ot partial crop failure. .
Tonnage. (meat meal),
about ' sixty per cent protein, is the
most efficient and convenient supple-
ment to purchase when com is being
fed. But tankage costs from $90 to
$100 a ton. So the prudent feeder will
look around and see it he cannot sub-
stitute such feeds as oilmeal, peanut
meal, condensed buttermilk or some
other protein feed that can be bought
at the right price, at times when pas«
ture supplements are not available.
Keeping these things in mind, will
enable one to work out a number of
ways in which feeding costs can be
kept down to the lowest possible figure.
Another factor in economical hog
growing at the present time is that of
keeping down labor costs. Science and
experiments, indicate that hogs make
more economical gains from the same
amount of feeding materials where la—
bor charges are low, that is, on farms
where the hogs are allowed to gather
a portion of their feed in the fields,
and where the grain feeding is simpli-
fied as much as practicable by the use
of self-feeders. Various feeders report
satisfactory results with self-feeders
for growing pigs and breeding stock;
while other men prefer the old way,
inasmuch as it makes it possible for
them to make more efficient use of the
forage crops and pasture. During the
fattening period, however, the hog is
the best judge of its own needs, for
when left to its choice it will balance

its ration to produce the most profit-

able gain, eating less and less of pro-
tein and more and more of carbohy-
drates as it grows older and fatter.
Besides this makes it possible for one-
man to feed a large number of hogs
without neglecting his other work.
When conditions justify a full feed of
grain there is no doubt that the free
choice method of feeding is the most
emcient and economical.

Harvesting crops with hogs not only
helps to solve the complicated labor
problem., but it pays. In test after
test in many states it has been found
that hogs turned into forage and corn
fields waste but little feed and produce
cheaper gains than when fed in yards,
and they save a lot of work gathering
and preparing the feeds. The practice
of hogging down cornis so profitable
that many farmers sow rape in the
corn fields and plan the corn crop so
as to extend the length of time during
which. the hogs can be used in bar-
vesting the crop. Each spring the first
corn which they plant consists of a
small field of a ninety-day variety.
This matures two or three weeks be-
fore the main crop and gives the hogs
that much more Work. to do before
cold éweather comes. The early ma-

. turing varieties of corn usually yield

~ rather less than the later ones, but

sectionswhere corn will notdo wéll
on account of a.‘ lack of heat, oats and
peas, as a rule, will produce more ton-v
nage and the silage will be much bet-
ter, being nearer a balanced ration. A
dressing of barnyard manuief will in?
crease the yield, especially on new
lands which have not been inoculated
by clovers. We have found here in
northern Wisconsin the growing of
oats and peas the most satisfactory
way of getting rid of quack grass; es-.
pecially when the crop is sowed thick-
ly it will smothei out the quack grass;
Oats and peas contain more than twice
as much protein as com, and therefore.
make a ration which is practically well
balanced in itself. As a food for dairy
cows it is most excellent, and will sub-
stitute the best of pastuie. ‘-

In the fall of 1918 I had an occasion
to test the worth of cat and pea silage '
compared with com silage. I had been
feeding corn silage to a number- of
dairy cows, and on the twenty-first of ,
January came to the place in the silo
where oats and peas had been put in.
We noticed at once an increase in the
pioduction of milk from ou1 herd. One
now which was neaily (lly, giving
about fourteen pounds per day, rose
quickly to twenty pounds per day; an-

other increased from fifteen pounds to
twenty four pounds, and similar i111
creases were noted by other animals of
the herd. This was sufficient evidence
£01 us to prove that cats and pea sil-

age was supelior to corn silage, espe-

cially when given as we were feeding.

Our method of sowing is to work the
ground as early in the swing as it can
be plowed and ham owed then sowing
one and one- half bushels of peas to
one and one- half bushels of cats per
acre The cats and peas will germi-
nate even when the giound is cold and -
wet, and late spring f1osts will not de-
stroy the plants. The map Will come
on in mid- summer, and when the peas

filled, the crop is ready for the silo. .

KAFFIR com. FOR A FORAGE
' ‘ once.

 

my: old policy of following the
same old rut worn deep by the
. old timers leads to farm failure.
1’ ’ It pays to experiment a little and keep
V on the lookout for something better.
1 am not a book farmer, but just an
ordinary, sleeves-rolled-up .tiller of the
- . Soil. 1 do believe, though, in trying
‘5 out new crops -in an effort to improve
. . on old conditions.

l ' Feed is the big question here in
southern Michigan. With oats at one
*‘ dollar per bushel, corn a dellar and
sixty cents, and hay at forty-five dol-
lars per ton, we fruit farmers have to
pay out about all of our profits for
feed. I reserve a few acres for grow-
ing feed and endeavor to make those
acres produce to the limit. That is
Why I tried Sudan grass and that is

why I tried Kaflir corn last year.

I planted one—half acre with Kaffir
corn, planting with an ordinary hand-
planter, with hills. three and one-half
feet apart both ways. The corn was
planted May 20 on a low, wet piece of
black soil, with no manure or fertil~
izer. I found it difficult to adjust the
planter correctly and as a‘consequence
the hills received from five to fifteen

'( -' kernels each.

At first the corn grew very slowly
and looked spindling. I got a good
~stan‘d but it looked very weak until
the hot dry weather of midsummer.
Then it began to grow at a very fast
rate. There were from five to fifteen
stalks to a hill. The hills with the
most stalks made the best feed be-
cause it did not grow so coarse. I cut
it when it was fully headed out and
part of the seed'matured but did not
cut the seed from the stalks.

. Shocks six hills square made very
large shocks. The stalks had more
leaves than ordinary corn and the
’leaves were broader and longer. When
thefodder was cured I hauled it into

 

 

a shed and fed it to horses and cows.’

The cow did well on the fodder and
had a better milk flow than she had
with ordinary fodder. The horses
would leave good timothy hay to eat
the fodder and kept fat on it without
any grain. Hogs ate the fodder stalks
and all and seemed to enjoy it.

The half-acre of Kaffir corn produced
more feed than any acre of ordinary

- corn, and, the stock liked it better
than ordinary fodder. I have no silo
but I should think that the Kafllr corn
would beat any- silage corn as a silo
filler. I cannot say whether it would
make good silage as the stalks are
very sweet and the silage might fer-
ment too much. I leave that question
to the experiment station. ‘

I will say, though, that Kafiir corn
will make more feed to the acre than
any two acres of ordinary contend
the stock will eat it better and do bet-

/ ter on the feed. The corn grew from
five to seven feet tall for me, but
would have done better on better soil.

TRACTOR OIL

The greatest foe of the tractor isyfriction. The toll it
exacts is seen in the little scrap heaps that so peacefully
repose in repair shops, against tool sheds, and in farm
yards. Scored pistons, uneven bearings, worn rings; all are
symbols of faulty lubrication. Surely, this is a high price
to pay for the lack of a little care and it is all the more
deplorable because a little judgment in the choice of oil
" and somc“systcm” in using it will pay over and over again.
Choose a quality oil lichEXAco and use the grade recom-
mended for your type of tractor. Oil as often as your in-
struction book directs.Then you will be sure that a sturdy
film of oil is amply protecting every working part.You are
sure then that wear is kept down and power increased.TEx-
ACOTRACTOR OIL is shipped in 5 g-gallon and 3 3-gallon
steel drums,woodcn barrels, half-barrels, and 5—gal. drums.

Mohawks Treat You Squarely

conclusive proof that this
case. but the universal ex-
users.

The man who buys a Mohawk Tire is usually sur-
prised and delighted at the mileage it gives him.

Experience with other tires has taught him to
expect approximately a certain number of miles.
When he finds that his Mohawk Tire is-yielding
from half again to double that amount—natur-
ally, the riext tire he buys is a Mohawk. ‘

Then, doubly gratifying is the fact that this
next Mohawk does as well—or even better.

In short, he finds that Mohawks give him the
sort of treatment he likes from anyone with
whom he does business—fair and square—never
disappointing—honest and dependable.

FEW dcys ago a

eral Point district in Wisconsin. Un-
fortunately, there were but few. suit-
able offerings, and the many country
buying orders which had accumulated
during the railroad strike were added
it). The demand was particularly
strong for the feeders of the near-beef
kind, adapted for a quick finish on
corn, and high prices had to .be paid
for .that class. Good one-thbusand-
pound feeders were wanted for this
purpo‘se,"a.nd there were a number of
sales, at $11 to $11.50 per hundred
pounds, while good lots averaging from
seven hundred to eight hundred pounds
foundi‘an outlet at $10.25 to $10.75.
Stock cattle going below $10 lacked in
both quality'and weight, sales .being

‘made as low as $8.00.

A limited number of stock cows sold
for $7.50 to $8.50. For some time
there has been a slhckening interest
shown in stock cows and heifers, coun-
try buyers having found that because
of the rigid tuberculin test, about half
of their purchases were rejected. It
is almost certain that in the near fu-
ture many delayed buying orders for
stock cattle will be filled, and higher
prices are to be expected. There will
always be a certain demand for feed-
ers of the choicer class, but such
heavy losses have been suffered from
paying fancy prices that it is deemed

’most likely that most stockmen will

invest in the moderate priced kinds.
A few farmers make good profits by
producing high-grade beef cattle, but
most stotzkmen make the best profits
on lower-priced lots. In attending
mainly to raising hogs, while others
are going to feed only one or two loads
of cattle. The labor problem enters
largely into the cattle proposition—F.

VETERINARY SERVICE.

Injured Tait—I have a cow which
seems to be in good health. but has
something wrong with her tail, some
two inches above the long hair. This
part of tail seems to be hollow like a

tube. The local veterinary says that

it may be a result. of a dog bite and
that .the skin and bone seems to be
separated. She is Jersey arfd only
two years old, but came fresh last
September. J. H., Caseville, Mich.—
Doubtl'ess the tail has been injured,
causing this separation and it is very
doubtful if the parts will ever unite
again. Paint the sore parts with“ tinc-
ture 0f iodine, then pack it with pine
tar and oakum. covering it with tar
bandages and leave it on for ten days.

Piles—I have a bunch of hogs that
will weigh nearly two hundred pounds
each, which are fed corn and oats,
equal parts by weight, some of them
are troubled with piles. J. G., Wayne
County—Feed food, such as roots, to
open their bowels, as constipation is
a common cause of piles. Besides, if
they have more exercise the bowels
will move more freely. Give bicarbon-
ate ol.‘ soda in each feed. One-half
teaspoonful is enough for each hog at
a dose two or three times daily.

Mange—Have been applying coal-7

tar disinfectant on two mangy cattle
for some time, but it failed to cure
them. Will you tell me what to ap-
ply? J. S., Chesaning, Mich—One of
the least expensive remedies that you
can apply is one part sulphur, one-
half part carbonate of potash and four
parts lard. This ointment should be
applied every three or four days, but
if their coat is long clip the cows and
you will cure them quickly.
remedy fails write again, saying so,
and the writer will prescribe a more
active one.

Cots Have Worms—My cats have
so many worms that it is not unusual
far them to vomit up worms two inch-
es in length. Several of our cats, also
neighbors? cats, .have died with them.

WHEAT

In spite of the'handicap of adverse
financial conditions, grain prices made
sharp advances last week to new high
levels for the season. Wheat went
higher because of the late season for
planting other crops, prospective em-
bargoes on Argentine’s surplus and a
failure on the part of Australia to ful-
fill contracts made with Great Britain.
The world demand apparently exceeds
the supply. Present Detroit prices
have advanced to the following fig-
ures: Cash No. 1 red $2.98; No. 1
mixed $2.96; No. 1 white $2.96; No. 2
red $2.95; No 3 red $2.92 per bushel.

CORN

With elevators at consuming cent-
ers practically empty of this grain and
little improvement in the car situa-
tion, dealers found it necessary to
sharply advance prices and then many
found it impossible to secure the grain

OATS _

Oat receipts are insufficient to meet
the demand and the local elevators are
almost empty Each day brings ad-
vanced quotations and many buyers
would gladly pay premiums, could they
secure a. supply that would satisfy
their wants. Present quotations at
Detroit are: Cash No. 2 white $1.22;
No. 3 white $1.21; No. 4 white $1.20.

sorts choice pea beans at $8, and the

WOOL

Despite apparent efforts of eastern
operators to throw a note of alarm into
the general wool trade, prices appear
to be well maintained at a level above
the figures of a year ago and dealers
who are in need of immediate supplies
do not hesitate to pay prices for goods
offered. Ohio growers are asking 600
a pound for medium clips and $1 for
fine clips. A highly speculative situa-
tion obtains. especially in the English
markets. -

K PRODUCE MARKET.

 

Butter.—The reactionjn the butter
market has been very marked ‘ this
week. One week ago buyers were eag~
er for butter and were paying prices
one or two cents higher than those
quoted. At the present time the quo-
tation on extras is-fully 110 under that
of last week Saturday, and‘buyers are
limiting their purchases to their imme-
diate needs. Butter has been arriving
by truck, by express and great quan-
tities by freight. The most-noticeable
feature is the quantity of butter that
is being shipped by express. Creamer-
ies evidently are anixous to get their
butter on the market before there is
any greater slump in price. Each day
this week has witnessed a decline in
butter prices, these declines ranging
from half a cent to four cents. Un-
doubtedly we may expect a greater
decline before prices again become
stabilized. Quotations at the close on
Eriday were: Extras 651/z@660; high-
er scoring than extras 66%,@67c;
firsts 62@650; seconds 59@610.

THE LAMB OUTLOOK...

 

 

A FEW spring lambs of this year’s

crop are moving to market and
selling at high prices, the supply -.be-
ing too small So\far as to cut any im-
portant figure in the Chicago market.
Last year’s lambs are subject to fre-
quent breaks in prices whenever the
offerings happen to be larger" in vol-
ume than usual, and even on 'some
days when the receipts are not liberal
values go off as a result of the large
numbers of lambs brought in by the:
big packing concerns from Fort Worth,
Denver and other primary points. The
outlook, however, points to high prices
in the near future, as the greater part
of the lambs have been marketed. The

feed lots around Chicago are reported 4

to hold the smallest supplies of sheep
and lambs ever known 'at this Season
of the year.——F.

EXPORT LIVE STOCK TRADE.

OR a number of years, there has,

been a good deal of. discussion in
the live stock press in regard to the
establishing of trade relations with
the South American countries, particu—
larly as it related to live stock. There:
were indications of a possible trade of
considerable volume developing, and
just enough encouragement along to
prove an incentive in its further prog-
ress. During the past twelve months
there have come definite, unmistak—
able evidences of this development.

As this is written there are embark-
ing for South America, two shipments
of purebred beef cattle with a liberal
representation of dairy cattle.
bound for Argentina composed almos
if not entirely, of high-class Short-
numbering near seventy-five
head. The destination of the other
Shipment is Uruguay, the second ex-
port shipment taken from this country
by the same interests. Approximately

one hundred and seventy-five head are
included in this shipment; the major
portion being divided nearly equally
between Shorthorns and Herefords.
Before sailing, the gentlemen who are
responsible for the Uruguay ship-
ment. made it known to official repre-
sentatives of the live stock interests
in this country that they contemplate
returning soon again for another selec-
tion. The Argentina shipment refer-
red to is so much the largest shipment

that has ever been sent to that pros-
perous cattle country and there is

 

every prospect that later shipments

will follow, in early succession, of large
numbers.

But that is not all. There is in this
country, at the present time, a repre-
sentative of Brazilian interests, who
is in quest of a highclass collection

of purebred beef cattle to be used for I

“Show purposes in Brazil. the object
being to create a demand in that
country for American-bred cattle. Still
further. there comes from Chile. assur-
ances of definite orders soon’ to be
placed by the m of flat conn-

1'2"" try for purebred beef cattle produced

here in the United States.

This is the result of the ellort
which has been made toward inter-
esting South American cattle growers
in the improved types produced here.
Then nm a, number of reasons why
the South Amer-icon peoples are in-
clined to the United States for this

clan of live stock. In the first place
the United States is the only calm-1

There’s a substantial
saving to be gained

by the use of Fisk Cords for any
size car.

      
 

x

The saving comes from the added
tire mileage; the added protection
given yOur car by the resiliency of
the Fisk Cord construction; by the
Fisk deeply-cut tread, and the gener-
ous Fisk oversize.

Any dealer who has been selling Fisk
Cords will tell you their quality and
endurance is extraordinary. Every
road test, every comparative test, ’
establishes their supremacy.
