CURRENT COMMENT





HE marketing of



farm ploducts "m

such manner as will

bring to the producer

the largest possible

percentage of the con-

sumer’s dollar is the very desirable

end toward which farmers everywhere

are working. And through cooperative

organization by industries and by con!-

munitles, very substantial progress is

being made toward that end.



In the evolution of the distribution

of farm products, direct selling by the

producer to the consumer was the first

step. The development along this line

by individual producers reached, in the

aggregate, quite a large volume of

business, and with certain special

products was a gratltying success

where good customers Were secured

and given service which would retain

them. Such a special market for ‘n

suecial p1oduct la a desirable asset

‘wcll wmth thet trouble involved to re

.t.-1.in, even with the development of co

operative distribution. But as a means

of disposing of the many and varied

products of the average form- it is im.

practical, hence the development of co

operative selling on a large scale,

which was the next logical develop»

ment in the rapid evolution of distri-

button.



This latest development has, owing

to the large transactions involved,

been almost wholly confined to whole-

sale, rather than retail rtranuactions.

The fruit growerm of the far west blaz-

ed the trail for wholecaic coopcrnttire

selling. They were followed” the

fruit growers of the south, the grain

growers of the corn belt, soon by the

grape growers of Michigan, and a little

later" by the potato grovwrs of a large

section of the rtate, as well as the live

stock producers and the general tarm-

em who are everywhere rapidly get-

- ting in: line for the cooperative sole of

their products in a wholesale way.



The failures n this development

have been relatively few; probably not.

greater in number, if not less, than the

private business failures in the some

lines. -And the percentage of autumn

» is rapidly grouting smaller with 883W

at ultimate Wee than has boo-the





ease with wholesale cooperative selI-'





ins. This experience of the pioneers

in thio‘li‘nc of development a! fie sell-

Rg business should be carefully stud~

led by other producers, who are at-

tracted by its possibilities, to the end

that the mistakes made by them may

be avoided.



In the history of the cooperative

movement, cooperative buying in a

wholesaler!“ by consumers has been

almost as uniformly successful, as has

cooperative selling in a wholesale way

by producers. In fact, the most cou-

spicuous of the earlier cooperative

successes were of this nature. In the

development of privately controlled

distribution, 'wholosole transactions

have been the universal point of con-

tact between the collectors and the

distributors of food products, where

direct transnctic‘ms were impractical.

Obviously the elimination of the col-

lector, so far as his services may be

dispensed with, as it has been demon»

stmted that they may in a great ma-

jority of cases, in the proper economic

function of the producer. It has also

been pretty clearly demonstrated that

the services of the private distributor

may, under favorable conditions, be

economically ensconced with by organ-

ized consumers. But whether produc-

ers generally can profitably travel the

full length of the road to the consum-

er’s door still remains to be demote

stunted. '



The 10mm course in this economic

development is undoubtedly the one

which is now being generally followed,

to its practical completion. The final

answer to the question as to whether

this is the most advantageous meeting

point of producers and consumers re-

mains for future development. Expo

rience must determine this point, and

this experience should not be made

mom costly than is necessary,

Michigan beans with

and thus permanently

benefiting this important factor of 88-

rteultural production in our state has

been taken by the Michigan BeonJobw

bers’ Association. At an informal

meeting of members of this associa-

tion held in Lansing late in April an

advertising committee was appointed

and a guarantee fund of $3,635 was

subscribed by those present to carry

out an advertising campaign with a

view to stimulating consumption to a

point which would facilitate the move

ment of the balance of last year’s crop.



At o_ meeting of the Motion held

in Saginaw one month later, a report

Ninth.--That we should take full ad-

vantage of the opportunity to secure

the cooperation 0&- wholesalors and re-

tailers, who are ready to push the

Michigan navy bean and spread brood-

cast our propaganda.



The been jobber: present st the

Saginaw meeting thought so well at

this experiment in the education of

consumers regarding the quality of





Michigan beams, that the advertising





committee of the association was an-

thon’zed to formulate a. further pub-





licity campaign and provision was,





made to finance same. This promises

well for a good outlet {or next year's

crop and should aid in encouraging the

maxim; of a liberal acreage to this

crop this year.



Perhaps the most significant fact re-

garding this experimental publicity

campaign is that the indirect benefits

which may be derived tron it are like

137 to surmise the am benefits al-

ready apparent. From the official re

port of the meeting. it appear: that

the investigation as to the result of

the advertising suggested certain prac-

tices to the bean dealers which are

likely to haven very permanent and

far-reaching eflcct in increasing the

popularity of Michigan beans with

consumers throughout the country.

The most important of 'tlicse sugges-

tions were the stenciling of the law

in which the beans are packed, and

the enclosure of similarly steadied

paper sacks in each bag for the use of

the retailer in selling Abe beans over

the counter. The general adoption of

this plan will be 0! great advertising

value to the Michigan product and pro-

tect it in large degree from the com-

petition of inferior products, especially

if supplemented by suitable education-

al campaigns to impress the superior-

ity of our product on the consumer’s

mind.



In view at this development it is to

.though as yet few think in these terms,

”still that is in substance the idea in

also true that such a market must be

or selling purposes is a step in the

right direction, it is not the final word

in cooperative marketing. Like the

individual producer the individual com,-

munity is helpless without the oppor—

tunity of exchange between other like

organizations.





Once the local wood and log yards

become organized units they may per—

fect county and state organizations to

facilitate freedom of exchange.





Since the farmers of the state are.





joining the farm bureau almost united-

]y there will be more buying and sell-

ing of woodlot products, such as logs,

posts, ties, poles, maple syrup and sug-

ar, nuts, fuel and building supplies as

a part of. their local activity, they will

ask for wider service through their

countsr and state organizations.



Such an organization as the farm

bureau _has an unlimited opportunity

to put across a service to the farmers

of Michigan. '



Need for Cruising Assistance.



One of the very serious handicaps

which the average woodlot owner suf-

fers under at present, is his lack of

knowledge of log or standing tree val—

lies as referred to above. Before he

can act safely in a timber deal the

farmer must know the value of.his

timber. He should have a definite pol~

icy in mind for the future of his wood-

lot and in order to lay the harvesting

plans should be able to either specify

terms and manner of cutting, or else

be able to secure disinterested and im—

partial estimates and advice at reason»

able costs.



v Under an organization of farmers

this service could be established and

handled efficiently and justly. The un-

certainty and unfairness between buy—

er and seller would gradually fade out

as true values and quantities became

known.



Better Markets and Closer Utilization



of Choice Varieties of Wood.





Some woods of )lj('lllgkl.ln are ex-

ceedingly high-wiceui and valuable,





but owing to the isolated and scatter-

ed condition of such timber the indi~

vidual owner markets or saws it with

other woods for domestic uses because

of the difficulties of handling it sep-

arately.



Operating under a state organiza-

tion this owner would leazn of the spe—

cial markets for such species. Com—

munities or counties might assemble





and buy and sell in quantities to at~'





tract the best prices 01 distant manu-

lfacturers.

Distribution of Necessities.

Many woodlots prodme great num—

bers of valuable posts, lies and poles

as well as a large acreage of timbered

land that is annually being cleared to

provide more farm and pasture land.

Such products should be distributed to

Reef feeding is a leading feature of

the farming. On many farms one finds

ABBY county is pretty well organ-



ized and much of the credit he-

longs to R. V. Tanner, who had charge.

of the projects before going to Lansing

to been-rue assistant manager of the

seed department of the State Farm

Bureau. Frank Bennett.who succeed:

ed Mr. Tanner; was born and raised

in Kent county. He is [especially well

qualified to carry on this line of work

for his wide experience as a. Grange

leader, and his convincing way of puts

ting across hiin-deas are sure to serve

him well in the new work.



Mr. Bennett believes that the future

of cooperative effort in Barry county

depends upon better rural schools. “It

is very evident,” he says,- “that our

pvesent system of rural training is un-

demoomtie and cannot fit our boys

great problem is to devise means of

work will be less scattered. 1 am also

deeply interested in the boys and girls

and the improvement of our rural

our really big problems is to correlate

and unity all of our present agencies

and to make the work more direct and

to make better use of all of the lead-

ers who are avalable for such work.

Boys’ and Girls’ Club work and our

rural schools are two questions so

closely interwoven that I am in hopes

that we may succeed in working out

No description of Barry county’s ag-

ricultural activities would be complete

without mentioning the efforts of the

Barry County Agricultural Society to

make the county fair one of the best

in Michigan. For six years such men

as W. L. Thorpe, W. R. Harper, John

Dawson, P. A. Shelton, Robert McKih

hen, Elmer Risllng', Robert Martin,

John. ‘Hinckley, Fred Lawrence and

others have worked together to make

the fair'an outstanding success.



Last year two hundred and fifty

purebred cattle were .on exhibition,

the attractions were equal to those at





many state fairs and every effort was .

made to give the people a. big, clean





and educational fair. Barry was the

first county to hold a night fair and

one or the first counties to have the

fair grounds ~lighted with electricity-

The best day’s attendance last year

was twenty—Mo (thousand.



This year the fair association and

the Barry Conny Farm ,Bureau are

cooperating to make up one of the

best form crops exhibits of any county

fair in Michigan. Prizes ranging from

twenty dollars to fifty cents have been

listed by the fair association for the

best exhibits of grains and seeds. The

farm bureau has distributed seeds in

each township and farmers are taking

a keen interest in the contest.





‘LUB work has not been neglected

and be of the most possible service,

pure seed, the Secretary issuing the

seed list giving description and sources

of inspected and registered seed. Any-

one may obtain this list from the sec-

retary and piocure \this seed directly

from the producer, at the same time

receiving the association guarantee as

to genuineness, purity and ’quality.

The seed department of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau will function in

facilitatingvthe movement of quantity

lots, especially carload shipments to

out-cf—state purchasers.



Plan 2.——The

provement. Association will- produce,

inspect and register the seed as in

Plan 1; the Seed Depaitment of the

State Farm Bureau to act as distiibut-

ing agent to members of that cigani-

zation, working through the various

County Farm Bureau Seed Depait-

ments. In this manner the needs of

each County Faim Buieau will be as-

certained, and the supply of registered

seed produced within that county util—

ized to fill the local demands. This

will be a great saving in the transpor-

tation, and seed of high quality may

be used in the same locality in which

it is produced.



To aid this farm to farm movement

of- registered seed within the county,

the directors of the Michigan Crop Im—

provement Association recommended

that their members make a substantial

reduction in price for these local sales.



In cases where there exists a sur-





controlled.

plus of seed in the county, the local

seed department will pool this with the

state seed department, who may util—

ize it to meet«deficiencies that may

exist in adjoining areas.



By; this arrangement -the Michigan--

grewn—seed will beavailable first for

home use and: then if a surplus exists

outvof-state demands will be met. In

this’way such situations as existed

with our 1919 clover seed crop may be

It will be remembered that

last winter large amounts of ‘Michigan—

grown clover seed were shipped out-

side the state. This spring we faced

such a shortage of clover seed that it

became necessary to bring Some in

from outside sources. Not only was

this expensive because of the addition-

al handling and tranporting of the

seed, but very expensive for those who

received seed that is far inferior to

the Michigan-grown seed that was

shipped out of the state.



Origin and Increase of Seed.



Most of the registered seed grown

in this state was originated and in»

creased at the Michigan Agricultural

College. At the present time the Farm

Crops Department at the college has

on its increase plats pure-line selec-

tions of the following well-known va-

rietiexz Rosen rye, Red Rock wheat,

Wolverine and College Wonder oats,

Michigan Black Barbless and Mich-2—

Row barley.



In addition to the work with the

grains much has been done with for—





 





.I‘I.





age crops, especially alfalfa and the





Annual White Sweet Clover. At pres

ent, Frank A. Spragg, plant breeder,

has strains of alfalfa that are not only

well adapted to Michigan cOnditions

and produce large yields of hayrb-ut

offer promise as seed producers. It is





hoped that some sections of Michigan,





may become producers of hardy and

adapted alfalfa seed.





The college now has live acres of 1





the sensational Annual White Sweet

Clover. It is expected that this will





produce a sufficient supply of seed toI‘





permit distribution in the spring of

1921. '

The seed produced on the increase

plats is distributed through the Michi-

gan C1‘0p Improvement Association to

farmers who are tried and proved seed

growers. ln'this manner additional in-

creases are made and a, sufficient

amount of seed is soon available for

the planting of large acroages. To in-

sure the maintenance of purity, pure-

]ine selection, and increases are made

each year, and thus there is always





available a supply of foundation-seed-





stock. 1

Inspection and Registration.



This pure seed is safeguarded by the

very vigorous and rigid inspection sys~

tem practiced by the Association, by

which the identity, genuineness and

purity of thesecd is absolutely known.

Those fields which measure up to the

high standards established by the

Michigan Crop Improvement Associa-

tion are certified and the seed given a

registry number.



By the cooperation ofthese two pow-

erful farm organizations, the Farm 1311—

rcau Crop Improvement Association

thought that the farmers of Michigan

may always be assured of a readily

available supply of adapted and high-

yielding seed of the best quality.

D. D. Ward,- associate manager of the

' “There have never been gypsy

are used in poisoning the moths,

"In combating them, too, parasites

‘Mr. Ward was emphatic in accenting

the need for watchfulness. He said

that the chances of the moths spread-

MEASURE TO STANDARDIZE BAS-

BILL now pending in congress in

The committee believes it is unfair

to the honest shipper to have to com- .

In 1919 tnere were 1,434,909 more motor

power made necessary a vast increase of

distribution facilities in order that your

car, wherever it might he, should never

lose its usefulness because of an empty

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)

anticipated this increasing demand and

met it amply in the eleven states it

a caravan of hOrse-drawn wagons, and

a little army of 530,000 iron barrels, so



, 'that even in remote districts no tractor,

Take into consideration, the fact that of

the 1,434,909 new motor vehicles put

into service in 1919, approximately

573,964 went to farms, and you will

appreciate the necessity for this vast

the people’s education. Deploring the

shortage of trained teachers, Dr. Clax-

Certification of Sécd Potatoes in Michigan





By C. W. Waz'd, Extension Speeza/zkt, M :e/ztgan Amen/rural College





IX years ago when the extension



Work with potatoes in Michigan



first began plans were made for

the Michigan Potato Growers’ Associa-

tion to inspect seed potatoes for certi-

fication. The first season’s work along

this line showed that most of the seed

in this state was so badly mixed o1

diseased that certification did not seem

advisable at that time.



During the period which has inter-

vened the growers in many counties,

especially where the county agents

have been active, have taken particu-

lar pains to improve their potato seed

stack. The time seems ripe for, the

work. of certification to be taken up

and pushed with energy.



Wisconsin has been certifying seed

potatoes for many years. Minnesota,

New York, and several other states

have been certifying for a shorter time.

None of these states are better situat~

ed for the growing of seed potatoes

than is Michigan. Furthermore at the

present time Michigan is in a better

position than any of these states to

sell seed potatoes. The Michigan Po-

tato Growers’ Exchange has handled

_ many carloads of seed during the last

‘ two years.

vertieing and in other ways. The one

thing needed now is the hearty coop-

eration of the potato growers who

have potatoes which are suitable for

certification. '



Rules and regulations have been

drawn up and agreed upon by the offi-

cers and a special committee appointed

by the Michigan Potato Producers’

Association Any petuto grower ‘ in

Michigan may make application for

the seed inspection service by comply-

ing with these rules and regulations.

The inspection will be performed by-

duly authorized agents of the Michigan

Agricultural College. Certificates of

inspectiOn will be issued by the Michi-

gan Potato Producers’ Association bas-

ed upon the findings of the inspection

service. The issuing of certificates

will be confined to the membership of

the Michigan Potato Producers’ Asso-

ciation. Any potato grower can become

a member oi? the Michigan Potato Pro-

ducers’ Association by the payment of

the annual fee of two dollars to the

secretary, H. C. Moore, East Lansing,

with corrosive sublimate before plant-

the secretary before July 1. The ap-

so collected will be used to pay port

“ We haul local growers’ fruits and delicate vegetables, such as lettuce,

on pneumatics— Goodyear Cord Tires—because they are marketed in

better c0ndition this way and buyers give first choice to produce so

protected.- Our Goodyear Cord Tires run everywhere in cultivated





fields and in a sandy orchard and deliver mileages to.15,000.”—





C. C. McIntosh, of _McIntosh & Andru, Truckmen, Palmetto, Florida





Copyright 1920. by 1119 Goodyear ’1‘1re & Rubber Co.





 





.S statements like this make apparent, more



and more, farmers are preventing the

bruising of fruit, mutilation of delicate vege-

tables and much shrinkage in livestock by

hauling on Goodyear Cord Tires.





'In this way they reverse the situation that ex-





isted when solid—tired trucks or wagons were

used with a resulting loss in crops, stock weight

and general income due to slow, jarring trans-

port.





0n the resilient Goodyear Cord Tires a farm

truck delivers smOothly and quickly, safeguard—

ing the original condition of the load so as to

secure the best prices for it.





The able pneumatics thus become important

factors in the marketing of perishable produce

and carefully fattened animals, as well as in

practically all the work of raising and handling

on and off the farm.





The excellent and often unusual mileages

obtained from these tires attest the toughness

of Goodyear Cord construction developed with

that extraordinary manufacturing carefulness

which protects our good name.





Farmers’ records, detailing how pneumatics





assist crop moving, motorization, chores and

other'activities, can be obtalned by mail from

'times, has been proved quite insom-





clout to handle these cans during the

short canning season. It has been the

practice in recent years of the can

makers to store with the canners on

the ground where the cans are to be

used sixty to seventy-five per cent of

the cans estimate-d for use. These cans

have been shipped at the convenience

of the can maker and during times

.when rapid delivery was 'unessential.

Up to the present time the can makers

of the country have not been able to

store-with the canners more than thir-

ty per cent 01: the usual advance deliv-

91 we f01 the coming season. There is

in operation at the present time not

more than tw enty-five pei cent of the

can-making capacity of the country.

and at no time during this year has

the can making industry been opemt~

ing to more than fifty percent. of re-

quired capacity. This shortage in pro

duction has been caused by lack of tin

plate. Can makers have used up the

stock of tin plate they could secure,

and are not operating moxé heavily

today than above stated because they

cannot get the tin plate. The time has

come when, if very great shortage in

cans and consequently in pioduction

of canned foods is not to be suffered,

these conditions must be changed, and

sufficient materials must fbe procured

to operate can factories not only at

full capacity, but at forced capacity by





 





 





 





, night woik.





In order to avoid congestiOD in ship—

moms during the packing season

these cans must be loaded and shipped

to the canners’ waiehous'es as rapidly

as made and at the present time cars

cannot be obtained for this purpose.

‘At the present time cars; cannot be ob-

tained and moved to destination in

sufficient quantities to care for even

the present limited production of the

can makers.

We do not like dirt floors in a poul-

with a couple of inches or sand makes

a fine floor. If the walls are of éement

all of sand. In that case “it should be

filled in early in the summer so that

"FOUR years ago", says Mr. Butterbrod‘t in tell-



ing how he became an enthusiastic user of a

Perfection Milker. “I bought the second Perfec—

tion Milker sold in this vicinity. At that time

this milker was generally unknown in this locality,

while today it is generally recognized as the best

machine on the market. I bought a Perfection

when I was not wholly convinced of the practica-

bility of any milker, but now I Wouldn’t part

with it.”





Cows Teats and Udders In





Perfect Condition





“When my cows went dry I even feared that

some bad effects would be revealed after freshening.

However, I was surprised to find that after freshen-

ing my cows milked .more evenly on all. four quar-

ters than they ever did when milked by hand.





2le E. Hennepin Avenue





(RT BU’RTERBRODT





A Perfection Enthusiast!

Art Butterbrodt Converted!





“A year ago I milked my cows three times a

day with the machine for a period of six months.

At the end of this period the cows’ teats and udders

were in as perfect condition as ever.”





The Best Hired Man





"The milker was just as willing to work three times a day

as twice. It never kicked and has never refused to work when

I wanted to use it since the'day it was installed in my barn.

At the end of four years continuous use I am free to state that

I find milking with the Perfection more satisfactory than

hand milking. And the Perfection makes it easier to secure

hired help and to keep the help in good humor.”





It’s Time For You To Investigate





Thousands of dairymen are putting in the Perfection

Milker every year. It’s the answer to the labor problem.

Investigate for yourself. We’ll gladly send you names and

addresses of Perfection owners, together with a free copy of

"What the Dairyman Wants to Know” the book that answers

every_ question about milking machines. Today is the day'

to write.

Oceana Co. F. A. A.





The trouble is probably congestion

of the mugs, which has resulted from

a cold or bronchitis. In such cases

there is very difficult breathing and

the comb will become bluish, due to

the congestion and the fact that the

bird cannot obtain enough. air. The

trouble may end in pneumonia and

death or a fairly rapid recovery of the

sick bird. This has been a cold spring

with many raw Windy days and this is

posSibly the cause of the sickness. The

bet cure is in prevention and consists

in keeping the flocks in the houses

when the weather conditions are very

bad—K. ~

“I do not anticipate much of a fight.”

“You’ll get as much as I can give

“I’m not at all apprehensive.”



“And I’ll begin by running your

“Ah-h!” .



“You know why, of course—those

burl panels in your dining-room. Ron-

deau felled a tree in our Valley of the-

Giants to get that burl for you, Colonel

Pennington.”





Pennington flushed. “I defy you to

prove that,” he almost shouted.



“Very well. I’ll make Rondeau con-

fess; perhaps he’ll even tell me who

sent him after the burl. Upon my

Word, I think‘ you inspired that das-

tardly raid. At any rate, I know Ron-

deau is guilty, and you, as his employ-

er and. the beneficiary of his crime,

must accept the odium.”





The Colonel's face went white. “I

do not admit anything except that you

appear to have lost your head, young

man. However, for the sake of argu-

ment: granting that Rondeau felled

that tree, he did it under the appre-

hension that your Valley of the Giants

is a part of my Squaw Creek timber

adjoining.” .



f‘ldo not believe that. There Was

malice in the act—brutality even; for

my mother's grave identified the land

as ours, and Rondeau felled the ,tree

on her tombstone.”





“If that is so, and Rondeau felled

that tree—I do not believe he did—I

am sincerely sorry, Cardigan. Name

your price and I will pay you for the

tree. I do not desire any trouble to

develop over this affair.”





“You can’t pay for that tree,”“Bryce

Y virtue of their logging contract.

with Pennington, '

and their employes were transport-

ed free over Pennington’s logging rail-

road; hence, when Bryce Cardigan re-

solved to wait upon Jules Rondeau in

the matter of that murdered Giant, it

was characteristic of him to choose





the shortest andmost direct route to '





his quarry, and as the long string of

empty logging-trucks ca'me crawling off

the Laguna Grande Lumber Company's

log-dump, he swung" over the side,

quite ignorant of the fact that Shirley

and her precious relative were, riding

in the little caboose in the rear.





At twelve-ten the train slid in on

the log landing of the Laguna Grande-

Lumber Company’s main camp, and

Bryce dropped off and approached the

engineer of the little donkey-engine

used for loading the logs. “Where’s

Rondeau?” he asked. g »





The' engineer pointed ,to a huge,-





swarthy man approaching across‘the

clearing in which the camp was situ—-

ated. “That’s him,” he replied. And

without further ado, Bryce strode to

meet his man. , -



“Are you Jules Rondeau?" be de—-

manded as he came up to the woods-

boss. The latter nodded. “I’m Bryce

Cardigan,” his interrogator announced,

/?‘and I’m here to thrash you for chop-

ping that big redwood tree over in that

little valley where my mother is

buried.”~ ' ‘ .



“0h!" Rondeau smiled. “Wiz'pleas

ure, ‘M’sieur.” And without a mo-

ment’s hesitation he rushed. Bryce

backed, away from him warily, and

they circled. _ .



“When; I get through with you, Ron-

deau,” Bryce said distinctly,,“it’ll take

a good man to lead you to your meals.

This country isn’t big enough for both

of us, and since you- came here last.

you’ve got to ‘go first."



Bryce stepped in, feinted for Ron-

deau’s jaw with his right, and when

the woods-boss quickly covered, ripped

a sizzling left into the latter’s midril‘t.

Rondeau grunted and dropped his

guard, with the result, that Bryce’s

great. fists played a. 'devil’sfltatoo on his

With a heave and a gnmt Bandeau

pened. With a howl of pain, Bomber:

rolled over on his back and lay clap

fellow toward. him. he passed his arm

around Rondean’e neck, holding the

latter’s head as in a vise with the

crook of his elbow. And then the bat-

tering started. When it was finished,

Bryce let his man go, and Bandeau;

bloody, sobbing, and semi-conscious,

sprawled on the ground. ' ,

Bryce bent over him. “Now, w,

IlSitting in the window of the hay-

mbiw, Rob had been thinking, longing-

b Iys had coaxed him to :10 with them.

TIIey had a1gued that thele would be

time Monday 11101ning to finish the job

of getting out the old hay. But Rob

had piomised his fathe1 he would tiy

had staid; and Ben Manning had staid

with him. W1ingin< wet with pe1spi1-

afi'ion, gasping foi bieath in the hot,

dust—laden air, and with every muscle

fibre from tugging with the pitchfork

at; the tangled hay, Rob hadgone to

the window~ior a moment’s rest and

iresh‘ air.



Suddenly he heard a startled cry

from Ben. Rob leaped to his feet. He

turned and scrambled across the hay

to where he had left his chum.



Ben Manning was a fat, goodnatun-

ed fellow, with curly, red hair, and

blue eyes that seemed always to be

laughing. Now Rob saw him down on

his knees, his face dripping with per-

spiration, and his short, fat arms tug-

ging at something buried in‘the hay.



“What is it?” cried Bob.



“Cacan’t you see it’s a grip?” pant-

ed Ben. “And it’s full of goldbricks,

too, from the weight of it!”



Bob hastened toIhis side, and help-

ed Ben uncover the object, which real-

ly proved to be a large, brown grip. It

was very heavy, and was securely

bound with shape The boys looked

“Burgla1s!” he gasped finally.



Bob stared at him, wide-eyed.

“Let’s open it.”



Bob looked quickly around the hay—

might be watching. Yet he knew they

were alone. Even his father and moth—

.were not to return until evening. He

nodded Ito Ben, and they began un-

The straps were buckled tight, and

Again Ben looked at the grip filled

with shining gold. Slowlthis eyes

rolled around toward the dark corners

of the barn. “Don’t-don’t you think

I’d better go along ' and help tele—

the hay into the driveway after Rob.



With Ben at his heels, Rob hurried

The other fellow gulped, and nodded

He looked around suspiciously, and one

hand'went to a. hip pocket. “A trap!”

he growled.



At that instant, the open door of the

granary, just opposite the two men, at-

tracted their attention. They peered

into the darkness. Rob shrank back

against the wall, and, in doing so, one

hand came in contact with something

cold and hard. Then he remembered.

It was his father’s shotgun. They had

left it in the granary lately since try-

ing. to shoot that chicken-hawk.





Unconsciously Rob’s fingers tighten-

GGS furnish a valuable food as

they are rich in proteids, easily

digested and furnish a valuable

substitute for meat. The yolk contains

iron, calcium and phosphorus and helps

to make eggs valuable in infant feed-





ing. People troubled with anaemia or

those having tuberculosis. and conval—

escents find them a most valuable

food. Though most people find them

easy of digestion occasionally someone

complains that eggs make them bil-

ious. In this case, if eggs have been

ordered, try cooking them in ways in

which the white and yolk will be mix—

ed, as in omelets, scrambled eggs or

egg nogs. The white is broken up by

beating and rendered more easy of di-

gestion. If they cannot, be taken even

in this way, omit the yolks and give

only the whites. lt is usually the yolk

which disagrti-es.



The person whois willing to learn

finds daily evidence of the truth of the

old saw, “One is never too old. to

learn." Even in the age-old profession

of cooking, new things are always be-

ing discovered and a great many old

things are daily being learned by the

woman with an open mind. Take the

very simple act of cooking eggs. It

took one cook exactly fourteen house-

keeping years to learn the right way

to fry an egg. Although all good cook-

books told her that eggs must be cook!

ed slowly, and with a low temperature,

she made the mistake of thinking that

eggs could be made to submit to the

mania for speed which has invaded

every walk of life. Boiling hot fat, a

high fire and speed always turned out

a. hectic looking egg, with frizzled

edges, a white cooked so hard that it

couldn’t be eaten, and a yolk overdone

around the edges and underdone in

the middle.



As a matter of fact, eggs should

never be submitted to a temperature

above 180 degrees. Even when “boil—

ing" eggs the water should not be

boiled, as the boiling temperature is

212 degrees. The reason for this is





and six times prewar prices many

women have been wondering just

what to do without this spring, so any—

thing which promises to be a satisfac—

tory substitute for household cottons

is eagerly welcomed. M ‘

The extension work in the northern

peninsula is carried on tinder the direc-

tion of Miss Aurelia Potts, assistant

home demonstration leader. She is

assisted by five young women, and

these six workers conduct thirty-two

clothing clubs, fifteen food clubs, one

to study a farm budget, and one'on

home conveniences. There seems to

be no use to which these efficient

young women, and the members of the

clubs, have not put the humble flour

sack. Everything. from infants" night-

iesto lunch sets have been evolved,

and the results are wholly satisfactory.

There were feeding bibs for children,

dresses, boys’ blouses, combination

suits, aprons for mother, petticoats,

handkerchiefs, and various other arti-

cles which can be made fwmcotton.

Of course, the sacking was not all of

the same ‘quality. Some was fine and

closely woven, while other pieces re-

sembled cheesecloth. The finest piece

that the egg white is almost pure al-

Instead of boiling three minutes, try

this method: Put one pint of boiling

water for every egg iii your saucepan

eggs—put in the eggs, and let the dish

stand uncovered on the back of the

range for eight or ten minutes. The

heat should neither be increased nor

corrosive sublimate, no.



. Q.-—-.HOW' can corrosive sublimate be

kept 'up to strength? .A.~—,Use four

times, then discard; or add one ounce

after each batch is dipped, keeping the

solution up to the thirty-gallon mark

by addition of water.



Q.——ls it safe to dip cut seed? A.—

It is not always safe. We have had

failures from dipping cut seed. Play

safe.



Q.—Should seed be left over night

in the solutions? A.—We did in an

potato.

One and a half to two hours is the

safe limit. Let the experiment station

do the experimenting.



Q.——What about the hot formalde-

Q.-—How shall I get rid of the pol-

sonous solution from corrosive subli-

mate? A.~—¥Pour it into a pit on sandy

ground where it will seep away.



Q.—What shall I use for treating?

A.—For quantities up to fifty bushels,

use barrels. Tight sugar barrels, oil

or vinegar barrels are fine. Rig up a

pulley'to raise the sacks. ,Treat about

two bushels at a time. For larger

quantities make a vat of heavy lumber,

line with" tarpaulin large enough to

Q.-—How .long can‘the tubers be kept

after treatment? A.——As long as you

please, so that they do not heat, freeze

or sprout excessively. Cut tubers must

be kept cool and dry. .



Q.——Is itsafe to treat green sprout-

*FEEDING THE LITTLE CHJ’CKS.





 





Limited feeding for young chicks





during the first few days and weeks

after hatching is advised by Prof. C.

H. Burgess, head of the poultry de-

partment at M. A. 0., who has prepar-

ed a set of simple health rules for the

fluffy youngsters.



“Practice retarded or limited early

feeding," says Professor Burgess. "Na-

ture has provided the newly hatched

chick with a ‘bread basket’ containing

sufficient food to last from sixty to

seventy-two hours. Before emeiglng

from the shell the yolk is absorbed in-

to the body of the chick for nourish-

ment during the first three days of its

existence. Do not feed too soon.”



Professor Burgess has outlined the

essentials of the chicks’ care in a spe-

cial chart which shows what steps

should be taken each day. These may

be summarized as follows:





First. Day—Leave chicks in incu-

bator and supply more pure air.



Second Day.——Pr0vide sour milk in

also feed some chick

grit.



Third Day. -——Give first solid food

This mash is suggested for one hun-

dred chicks: One raw egg, three small

handfuls of rolled oats and three small

handfuls of bran. Thoroughly mix by

rubbing and give four feeds three

hours apart. A. dash of fine charcoal

and bone meal helps.



Fourth to Fourteenth Day—Keep

chicks hungry and active. Give two

feedings of commercial chick feed, two

feedings of the egg. out and bran mix-

ture, and one feeding of green mod,

sprouted oats, lettuce, etc. Supply hour-

ly skim-milk for It least first two

weeks.



After Second Week—Simplify and

cheaper; the ration. Substitute the fol-

lowing mash: Bran, middlings, corn

meal, ground oats, equal parts” by

weight, and ten per cent meat‘ scrap.

Increase the sins of grain feed as the

chicks grow older. '



These‘points'shmnd also be kept in

mud:



A dry mesh of bran, around oats and

meat scrap will prevenfi toe picking

and other cannibalism.



Do not ovorfeed, prevent crowding,





. provide plenty of fresh water and keep





them exercising.

Stakes, and even building materials of

Timber Conservation.

A matter which is yearly receiving

more and more attention from thought-

ful farmers is that of timber preser-

vation. The short life and highxfirst





. cost of the untreated fence post or tel-





ephone pole is annually attracting

more attention and is the cause of

'Unless the indi-

vidual farmer uses one hundred or

more fence posts a year he is seldom

justified in maintaining a treating plant

of his own, while the small makeshift

barrel size outfits are shallow and

wasteful of time and creosote to such

an extent that their usefulness is lim-

ited to certain purposes.



The Large Custom or Cooperative



Preservative Plant.



' Several plants for custom fence post

treating are to' be found in the state

and these seem to be operating along

right lines, so far as minimum of waste

and thoroughness of treatment are

concerned.



()f‘course, charges vary widely with

private plants and if the buy1ng of

creosote as well as operation of town-

ship plants were handled by organized

effort the service would be greatly ex-

tended and the life of the treated wood

when used in the earth greatly in-

creased. '



Community Effort Needed.



The advantages of. an overhead or—

ganization for the successful market-

ing and distribution of woodlot prod-

ucts are possible and workable. Such

a plan is not a fancy or a dream, but

a very real need if waste and needless

sacrificing of values are to be over-

come.



Whether the organization is already

created or whether it is yet to be born

matters little, so long as it' works out

the service demanded by small acre-

age timber owners everywhere in the





 





, state, and carries efficiently and accu—





rately that service for the benefit: of

the people Of the state.



First.~—Such a service must be state-

wide and should include definite lines

of activity that bear upon future tim-

ber production as well as present con-

sumption and demand. That the need

for a good market is urgent is ac-

knowledged by owners of standing tim-

ber who havetried to sell that- timber

to advantage during the past few years.

And in order‘to be effective to all it

must be a market that is available

to all. -» -



Second—Any service that provided

for the marketing of timber and did

not encourage the production of tim-

ber as a distinct farmcrop would be

lop-sided. The production of timber

must be made as intensive as other

farm cmps. Instruction and personal

service. in planting and cultural opera-

tions should become as necessary an

adjunct to this phase of service as the

is to annual

It may be safely said that any coop-I

GOOD ROADS.





 





BY J. T. DANIELS.





HE advent of the automobile has



emphasized very noticeably the

general desire for good roads which

everyone may enjoy who rides on our

highways. The earnest efforts now

being made by state and nation to

meet the demand in this matter it is

hoped will bring the desired results,

but in order that this may be made

certain, much care will be required

lest the expense incurred fail of pro

ducing permanent good roads.



The necessity for careful and correct

survey and then the exact fulfilling of

same in the work performed would

seem to assure good results, but as one

rides over some. off our state reward

roads, evidence is seen of failure to

comply with the requirements that

“the slope of the roa'dbed shall be such

that the water may run readily into

the side ditches,” for on portions of

these .1'0ads their level or nearly level

condition causes the rains to soak into

the ground where it falls instead of

running into the side ditches, and

thereby much harm results to the

roadbed.



Very great improvement of our high-

ways would result and without large

cost, if the road graders and road

drags or scrapers purchased and own-

ed by each township were put to their

proper use at the right time instead of

being leftto rust out in idleness.

filling of the ruts when the sell is in

proper conditions-not too wet nor too

dry—can be accomplished with the

prOper and already provided tools with

comparatively small cost, a faithful

man with a good span of’horses’being

able to fill the ruts for a number of

miles, in each day’s faithful work with

the.-road drag.



It is readily seen, that there should

be a graded slo'pe from the crown of

the road to the bottom “of the side

ditch, instead of making -. the ditch

nearly perpendicular on the side'next

to the turnpike. If this be done, the

water would, as previously stated, run

into the side ditches more readily and

there would be less #danger of harm re-

sulting if a vehicle should accidentally

pass into the ditch. _



These are truly busy days, yet our

roads ought not to'be left in‘the ‘rut~

ted condition in which many miles are

found. A vi ‘orous public sentiment

should be or ted sufficiently strong





to make and keep all of our highways ’

in proper condition, for the taxpayer, _

though he live on a highway somewhat ‘





retired, yet would appreciate havi '

the road passing his home pro

cared for as do we who

He took

walked out of the granary.



"I telephoned the sherlfi, all right,"

explained Ben; “but on my way back E

There was another surprise in store

for the boys when the sheriff came.

That officer at once recognized the two

prisoners as yeggmen for whom there

was a big reward. He insisted that It

belonged to the boys. Mr. Warren saw

no reason why they shouldn’t accept

agreed to go to town with the sherflr

and chagrin of the thieves was laugh-

to fix a price accordingly. I sell direct

to the cfmsumer- and the past two

years have no kick coming.



I am in favor or only one farmers’

organization, that organization to have

the first and last word to say at Wash-

ington, and to.the consumer. The mid-





dlemen I would cut out wholly, if pos- -





sible. I claim there is not any real

value added to an article by passing

througha half dozen hands, nor in

shipping it back and forth' from one

party to another. For instance, .you

take a bushel of potatoes, there'is no

more food value added to those pota~

toes after leaving the farmer’s hands.



I would like to see the farmers have

one good, strong organization. There

is getting to be so many now that no-

body at Washingtdn or anywhere else,

knows who is speaking for the farmer.

I—would like, if it is not asking too

much, for the farm papers“ to ask the

opinion of its readers as to forming a.

national organization, with subsidiary

During the year just closed 9, 524

Holstein cows and heifers were under

the average cost of producing a. pound

,of butter per year is 73.4 cents. This

cost was to the'tally-board .in barn.

The cost 'of selling the milk and but—

ter, and the cost of making the butter

should be added to this. The average

price I got for this butter, (1918), was

fifty~five cents.

HENS BE ON NESTS.





During the last week or ten days I

have lost four hens. About every two

or three days we find one dead on the

nest. They seem healthy and all right.

What ails them, and what can I do

for them?



Montcalm Co. Mrs. D.‘ G.



When the hens are laying heavily in

the spring it is not unusual to occa-

sionally find a hen dead on the nest

or under the roosts A post mortem

examination may furnish some clue to

the trouble. Hens sometimes die be-

cause of a. hemorrhage of the brain,

commonly called apoplexy. This sel-

dom occurs except among very fat

birds. Then it is due to over-strain-

ing during egg-laying, or to the eating

of_ too much heavy feed. .

The market reports in ,this edition





‘ were revised and corrected Tuesday





noon, June 1.





 





WHEAT r





Reports from Argentina saying that

the loading of wheat from that coun~

try had been discontinued by govern-

ment orders causedconsiderable buy-

ing on the Chicago market. The meag-

er offerings were picked up at the be-

ginning of Saturday’s business. Later

it was learned that the report was un»

true and that exports are to be in-





creased rather than diminished which





caused a heavy .unloading by early

buyers. At Detroit not much wheat is

arriving by rail, although dealers are

said to be bidding at country points,

but another cargo is coming from Chi-

cago which will supply the immediate

needs. Present. values on the local

arket Saturday were as follows:



No.



No.



No.



No.



No. 3 red ............’





CORN





Prices have fluctuated during the

past Week but. the general situation re-

mains about the same. The wide range

in prices seems due to the attempts of

the market to adjust itself to new con—

(litions that. are expected to come.

(Stash corn has been scarce and firm

most of the week. but. dealers are

looking for a larger movement. On

the other hand. an active demand is

expected as soon as the supplies begin

moving. Present quotations are as fol--

lows:

On the whole the market has been

the-quotation "at present. The fact is

there ispa. shortage of butter just now-

That is due in large "part to the poor

transportation, facilities that are fure

nishe‘d by railroads and also to the

lateness of the :seasion. Ordinarily with »

no more butter in stores than at press-

went prices would shoot skyward..How:

ever, real active demand is lackinglon

Monday, the market opened with. ex-

tras quoted at 61%c. On Tuesday, a.

marked weakness developed and-the

price declined one and a half cents.

Thererwerre successive declines of halt: .’

a cent on Wednesday and Thursday;

but on Friday. buyers began to lay in

stocks for the holiday‘of Monday and

in consequence the price recovered one

cent. At the close on Friday, quota-

tions were: Extras 591/2@60c; higher

scoring than extras 601,é@760; firsts '

55@59c; seconds 50@54c.



Cheeser—Thecheese market is quiet

with indications that‘prices. will de-

rcline soon. That will be due to in-

creased receipts, which will "come nats

urally because of the season’s in-

crease in make and because of better-'

ed railroad conditions. There is little

export trade at present and domestic

buying is curtailed because of the prob

ability that prices will go lower soon.

Established quotations are: Common

to good 26@27c; average run 2714(0)

27%0; specials 281/2@ZS%C.



Eggs.——Receipts of eggs are normal

for this season of the year. Consider-

able quantities of the stocks that are

being received are being placed in

storage. It is well that speculators

are operating as there are nearly one-

half million less cases of eggs in stor—'

age at present than at this time last

year. During the greater part of last

week and until Tuesday of this there

was a constant slump in the egg mar-

ket. HoweVer, the market now seems

to be somewhat stabilized and is fairly

firm. Quotations are: Firsts, 41@

.421/2c; extra firsts 43-1/240441/2c; and

extras 47@48c. "





Poultry—Receipts of live 1' poultry

have been heavy during the week but

demand has been strong. The market

has changed very little during the,

‘week, but has been very steady. Quo-

tations are: Fowls 40@41c; broilers .0

75@85c; old roosters 25c; turkeys at

30c; ducks 23@250; geese 20@22c.
