’Marketing Surplus Feeds on» Foot





HILE it is true that “we cannot eat our



.. cake and have it too,” we can sell some.of



H our surplus feeds on foot and keep much of



the plant “food they contain on the farm. This

V.does,110t,mean that every farmer can profitably go





into the feeding business on a scale which necessi- '





tates the purchase of a large amount of feed. But

many morefarmers could market a surplus of home

grown feeds ‘.‘on foot” more advantageOuslygthan

“on Wheels.” > '



A few head of fat stOck can now be sold more

advantageously by the small feeder through the

local live stock'shippin'g’ associations, which have,





already been organized in so many Michigan com-

munities. This makes small feeding ventures more

attractive than ever before and should increase

feeding on a small scale accordingly, to the bene-

fit of the farms on which the feeding is done and





of the farmer owning them. Indeed one of the .





hopeful signs of American agricultural production

is that many thoughtful farmers have already de—

cided that the immediate future is the proper time

to restore the reserve stocks of plant foods taken





from the land during the war and this they plan





on doing partly through a program 'of judicious





, live, stock feeding.

CURRENT COMMENT





ORSE breeding

has been a neg-





 





 





 





Horsefg on lected branch of the

M'Ch'gan live stock industry on

Farms most Michigan farms





during recent years.



Evidently the average farmer has felt

that the very general introduction of

tractors on Michigan farms .during re-

cent years, and the equally general use

of motor trucks for both city and coun-

try hauling would limit the demand

for heavy horses in much the same

way that the general introduction of

tile automobile did the demand for

light harness horses. Consequently

few colts have been raised on Michi-

gan farms in recent Years, the num-

ber apparently decreasing each year.

Every reader appreciates thisfact in



a general way, but if any reader will

review the situation in his own com;

munity and his observations in other

communities, he will doubtless be sur-

prised at the small number of young

horses, and especially of weanling

colts which are coming on to replace

the needed horse stockon the farms

of the community. Apparently most

farmers have gotten the same idea at





the same time regarding the outside





market for good horses, and have overa

looked the future farm market for nec-

essary replacements of farm horses.

What is true in Michigan is evident-

ly true in other states. The Illinois

Agricultural Association has recently

completed an investigation of the

horse situation on Illinois farms. The

result of this investigation shows that





' there is a present or prospective sh01t-





age of 100,000 horses on the farms of

that state. This investigation, which

covered thirty counties, or approxi-

mately one-third of the state, in which

a horse census was taken on 26,450

farms, shows that horses are being re-

produced at a rate which is less than

four per cent of the horse population,

while the annual loss is eleven per

cent of the total. In the representa-

tive counties covered, only 7,297 colts

were foaled in the quarter from April

1 to July 1. Allowing nothing for loss

of colts, which Professor Mumford es-

timates would outnumber the colts

fouled during the balance of the year,

it would take the farmers of Illinois

twenty-six and one-half years to re-

place their present horse power at

the present rate of increase.

Obviously, the farmers of Illinois are

producing scarcely more than one-third

and certainly less than one-half the

number of colts required to keep their

present farm horse stock good. We

believe the census figures for Michi-

m, which will soon be available, will

m an even more startling situation,





' we» horse production on Michigan

s would naturally be less during ditions and is also hampered by short- are taken by





 





prevailed during recent years than

would be the case in a strictliy corn





'belt state who‘re corn and oats are the





in p-1‘1ce. _'.





The best solution for“ the present





emergency is undoubtedly the gradual





principal staple farm prelim. This marketing of farm products, holding





conclusion will also be borne, out by

oobservation‘ 111. most cemmuniti'es and

in the-state at large. .



Fertunately, mechanical power will

be available to supplement the failing

horse stock on our farms, but it cannot

wholly replace it. Hence the outlook

is good for the farmers who have had

faith in the horse and have a few

young Ones 'coming on. The future

prospect for horses is also worthy of

the careful consideration of farmers

who have good, big sound mares from

which a good class of colts can be pro-

duced. Incidentally the present is a

good time to buy horses which will be

needed next year, as bargains are like-

ly to be the exception rather than the

’rule when the true situation of the

country’s horse stock is revealed by





me the census report.





HE burden of re-

. adjustment has

Meeting fallen heavily on

the American farme rs.

Emergency The market for their

season’s products pro-

duced at the peak of costs has fallen

away below the cost of production in

most cases. At the same time the

credit situation is so strained that it

is difficult to finance their business

and meet their fixed seasonal expenses

without selling their products on a

bear market, which they believe to be

unduly influenced in many cases by

speculation



As the inevitable result of deflation

practically every other business is in

a similar situation, with a resulting

and growing condition of unemploy-

ment, which limits consumption and

operates against a normally free move-

ment of foodstuffs. Living and com—

modity costs have not yet declined; in

proportion to reductions in' the basic

market for foodstuffs and raw mate-

rials produced on the farms; but there

is every evidence that this will quick-

ly follow. Manufacturers and mer-

chants are naturally reluctant to ac-

cept the losses entailed by this process

but they will find themselves as help-

less to prevent it as are the farmers

whom it has first affected. Labor will

also find it impossible to escape the

effects of this readjustment process,

and will ultimately have to bear its

share of the burden.



How to meet the emergency is: the

foremost question in the minds of all.

Retrenchment is the first remedy to

be applied all along the line, with the

result that the immediate difficulty is

proportionately aggravated. Yet it is

essential to getting business and pri-

vate affairs back on a more normal

basis. Relief is anxiously awaited

from a variety of expedients. Perhaps

the greatest hope of the farmers of the

middle west is based on the possibil-

ity of remedial legislation by the con,-

gress, whichis now assembling in reg—

ular session, through extension of agri-

cultural credits and the arranging of

credit with foreign nations which

would enable them to- buy our surplus

food ploducts which they badly need.



These and other possibilities may

hasten the day of normal market con-

ditions, but they hold little encourage-

ment in the way of aid in meeting the

immediately present emergency. They

offer only prospective relief at best

for a'present situation. What, then,

is the present remedy for the farmer?

Obviously it is not the general dump-

ing of his goods which the overloaded

merchant is finding to be expedinnt

for the reason that the farmers can

not sell their products in quantity to

the ultimate consumer at any price as

can the merchant. If the farmers

dump to. meet the present emergency

it must be to the eliminator, who. is

naturally cautious under present con-





the surplus on the demos until needed.





for early consumption. To this ' end

every farmer is warranted in using his

credit so. far ‘as opportunity and its

proper conservstioh permits, and slow—

i‘ng his products gradually as needed

for- consumption, .or as his immedi-

ately present needs make necessary.





‘Such general policy on the partof the





producers of fecdstuffs will prevent

still lower speculative prices and give

the: farmers the benefit of the reac-'

tion, rather than the speculators.



Fortunately there is at present a

spirit of optimism among businessmen

regarding the future outlook which is

worthy of emulation on. the part of

farmers. It is a spirit which will pre-

vent the' present business depression

from degenerating into a panic, and

hasten the era, of prosperity which

close- students of economy believe is

ahead of us. By meeting the present

emergency in the same spirit with

which we met the war emergency, it

can be most quickly and effectively

surmounted. It is a time for the ex-

pression of optimism, rather than of

discouragement.

farm women pay very little attention

to their own health until they are forc-

They do this often because, as they

N November, 1915, the following





”Farmer: “Farmers can no more





afford to keep unprofitable land than

they can afford to keep unprofitable

news.

more valuable is like the boarder in,





Idle land which is not growing





.the‘dairy herd.” This fact was worthy





' of careful consideration five years ago,

‘1 but it is doubly worth pondering over





today. In these days of high costs of

production, when it becomes a matte1

of- business life and death to the farm-

er to know costs as well as selling val-

ues of his products, he cannot long





_ carry idle land unless he does it as a

' matter of sentiment or as a pleasure





or'hobby.



The gradual awakening of producers

of food products and other necessities

that come from the soil, to the vital

need of knowing what those products

cost, is bringing about the use of more

or less accurate systems of cost ac-

counting. To the farmer who is not





' compelled by the income law to keep





records, this need -of knowing costs is

even greater than to the neighbor who

pays the income tax, because the mar-

gin between profit and loss is relative-

“Land poor" is a com-

mon expression today and it is used as





the excuse for failure, or near failure,-





much more often than it‘ should be.



It is entirely safe to say that there

is little or no drained land in southern

Michigan but will yield its owner the

savings bankrate of interest at least.

The ordinary farm land which now lies

idle or half idle, in the form of pastur-

ed woods, shaded pastures, etc., should





i ‘be handled more efficiently as annual

crop land orelse be devoted to the '





growing of timber exclusively.

Half-way methods, Or “straddle sys-

tems" of grass and timber production

together fail to show adequate returns.

If pasture is needed as well as timber





”it Would be better practice to divide





the field by a fence into two parts and

encourage timber growth on one and

The grow—

ing together of two crops so utterly

unlike in- their requirements of soil,

moisture, light and heat, is bound to

result in failure, or at least distinct





~ loss as compared to what either would

produce if grown separately.





Granted that the owner realizes the

.truth of all this—what is the reason

that he doesn’t-stop the old practice?

It is simply that the notion of a crop,

as he interprets it, means the harvest

of one year’s, effort; and he doesn’t





’ seem to be able to realize that the pro-

.rduction of a crop may take a genera-





tion instead of twelve months.

Unless the farm woodland, owners

soon begin to demand returns from ev-





ery acre of their. farms, they will be





farced in many cases to sell land and

decrease the acreage or else compel

themselves to face. a very disturbing

and embarrassing fact that they are

carrying idle useless land, from which

they are receiving nothing except the

pleasure once each year of paying a





‘; very certain tax.





such a condition of affairs is not

particularly aggravating to the man

who never counts the cost of his farm-

ing operations, but to the one who

strikes a balance now and then be-

tWeen his labor and acres on one hand

and his returns on the other, there is

pretty apt to be a curiosity in his mind

about the pay value of those acres.

many. miles too far for the feed they





are able to secure, and if such stock

happens to be feeders, the feed they

find usually fails to keep them in flesh.



Second. The shade-grown grass of

the wooded pasture is too poor in qual-

ity as a feed. 2



Third. The timber of the pasture

fails togmake a normal annual growth

while younger production is rendered

impossible, due to the packing of the

soil, to the removal of the leaf’mulch

and to the browsing off of every seed-

ling that dares to show its head.



The rate of growth of trees standing

in such a pasture is slowed down great-

ly because of the free motion of air

over ,the ground which removes vast





stands of thin and scattered woods in-

definitely. In fact, it often means some-

thing entirely difierent than that.



Rather it means the maximum pro-

duction of timber of good form and val-

ue in the shortest possible time on the

minimum of acreage at the least pos-

sible cost. Half-stocked acres of tim-

ber are just as expensive to produce to

maturity as are fields of corn or_pota~

toes where half the hills are missing.

Half crops result where full yields

should have come while the invest-

ment, tax and labor chaiges have con-

tinued in full.



The Remedy.



Ten per cent of the average farm in



Michigan should produce timber sufli-





 





 





Undex a plan of annual marketing of wood p1oducts, such a heavy cutting

as the above at any one time would be as unnecessaiy as it is undesirable.





The gradual 1emova1 of the iipe and overripe timber by the farmer himself

and in such quantity only as he is able to handle in logs and fuel during each

Winter season, will assure him both annual revenue and fuel, as well as the

best kind of natural 1estocking of the woods with young growth





 





 





The “straddle system" of trying to

on land such as this, is daily being pronounced a failure.

to cut the timber clean on half of it and keep the stock off the other half

and give the timber every encouragement.





quantities of the moisture so important

to rapid tree growth, and because of

the demands for moisture made by the

weeds, grasses, and sedges common to

sue shade.



T e gist of the expression, “Well you

can’t make w‘oods and pasture grow to-

gether,”_ . has been remarked to ' the





“writer by dozens of farmersdurin'g the





past summer 80 that this fact is not a

discovery by any means, but rather a

very "common cenclusion that is known





thoroughly by most observing farmers.

11‘. is very gratifying, to find that.

many. oWn‘ér's are seribusly thinking

about this question while many are-





 





g1 ow grass and wood at the same time

It is much better





cient for the needs of that farm if effi

ciently handled. The farm of one hun-

dred and sixty acres having sixteen

acres of well stocked timber of mixed

ages, should not want for fuel, posts

or buildings and repair material. Such

a. farm woodland should be capable,

under wise management, to produce

from three hundred to five hundred

board feet per acre' of saw timber per

year, with an average of two to five





short cords of fuel to each thousand





feet of saw timber or posts. A woods

incapable of such a sustained annual





.yiéld could not be called well stocked





It wOuld be in either one or the other

of two general conditions. It would be:





that-a heavy harvest has been removed

and the stand is not yet normal or

second, “over-ripe,”





over-mature.

In either case special plans of man-

agement are necessary since the desir-





able form is a “normal” all-age stand.





which the owner may handle by care-

ful selection to meet his yearly needs.



In order to bring either the “under-

ri'pe” or the “over-ripe” stand into a

“normal” one, the owner should pre-

pare for himself, or have prepared for

him, a working plan covering the pe-

riod of years necessary to place the

woods in the normal or annual crop

form.



VV’ith the stand of ripe or over-ripe

timber the immediate need is one of

careful harvesting. At present the kind

of harvest will depend upon the kind

of market available to the owner. If

the State Farm Bureau provides a sys-

tem of timber pool whereby woodland

owners may market their products an—

nually the problem of handling ripe

stands of timber will be greatly simpli-

fied and forest conservation in Michi-

gan will be splendidly encouraged. If,

on the other hand, the timber market.

is left in the hands of speculators and

timber jobbers the end of the five hun-

dred thousand acres of hardwood farm

forests of southern Michigan is in sight

so far as marketable timber is con—

cerned.



Given the possibility of an annual

market for his surplus or annual crop

of timber, the Michigan farmer will

soon form the habit of cutting a few

logs and other supplies from the tim-

ber each year or two as a regular form

of revenue. And especially must he

receive a true market value for‘this

most important product before there is

developed any incentive to manage—

ment of the woodland on intensive and

conservative lines.

Wonderful changes have taken place

it proved a blessing in disguise. A tre-

. HEN I typed the story of the



LR] Tuscola County Farm Bureau



last July, following a leisurely



jaunt through that fertile region, I



thought I had put down about all the



really interesting things to be found



in the Thumb of ‘Michigan. But later,



when I motored up into Huron county,



just north of Tuscola, I met with still



other features of farming, a great deal



of scenery and some surprises. These



features, and some sidelights on pros-



perous farming communities, I will



weave into a story of this remarkable

county—the Tip of the Thumb.



. The outline of lower Michigan,

bounded on three sides by the Great

Lakes, is the almost perfect form of a

human hand, with the thumb clearly

defined by the shores of Lake Huron

and Saginaw,Bay. At the tip of the

thumb is Huron county, a large, gener-

ally flat and rich agricultural country

with a base forty-two miles long, and a

shore line, sandy on its east and west

coasts and very rocky on its northern

tip. is quite one hundred miles long.

Along its base are Tuscola and Sanilac

counties, both different from Huron in

natural features and some other things.



Outstanding Impressions.



In my trip through Huron county in

the last week of October, I was im-

pressed with the fine roads, the aver-

age bigness of the farms, and the large

number of pure-bred herds. In the

matter of good roads Huron is easily

in advance of its neighboring counties,

due in a great measure to the almost

unlimited supply of gravel, haulage

thus being reduced to a minimum. Be-

sides the main trunk highways con-

necting the towns and villages, many

section line roads are improved with

a hard gravel surface. Many of these

roads have a natural clay or sand foun-

dation, and were improved by grading

and an application of fine gravel for a

top surface, the material being dug out

from small pits along the roads.



As I drove on these hard, smooth

highways new and interesting things

were not hard to find. On each side

broad vistas opened up to View, dotted

Here and there by big new barns with

silos, comfortable and even pretentious

farm homes, and herds of pure-bred



i 7 cattle, denoting a high state of pros-



" perity. The thing most noticeable,



however, was the total absence of



heavy timber or even small woodlots,

which render the landscape so attrac-

tive.





This lends a' peculiar aspect to the

landscape, to one familiar with big

woods, rail fences, weather-beaten

barns and other marks of antiquity in

an old farming country. But the very

difference is interesting to the land-

holder, inasmuch that with a field glass

he can sweep the horizon andl’earn





away is doing.



I have dwelt on this condition be-

cause it illustrates the perseverance

and enterprise of a sturdy class of

farmers. We must take off our hats to

them. In less than two generations

they have transtrmed a huge ash heap

wild and forbidding, into as rich a

farming country as is to be found in

eastern Michigan. Of course, the soil

in most parts of Huron was good and

in some parts rich, but the fact re-

mains ~that without an inestimable

amount of labor and patient plodding,

the county would not have developed

as it has.





The Farm Bureau.



During all this period up to the pres-

ent year no concerted effort to organ-

ize the farmers had been attempted.

There was no county agent to aid the

farmers. Seven or eight cooperative

elevators had been in successful opera-\

tion, but they were operated for profit,

for the benefit of the shareholders

only. While cooperative in name they

lacked an indefinite something to make

them thoroughly mutual in character;

and the farmers were ready for a big

broad cooperative organization.



In June of this year, along came the

State Farm Bureau, with James R.

Campbell in the role of organizer, and

started things going. In an incredibly

short time, the farmers recognized that

the organizer, in the language of the

street, was a “wise guy." Born and

brought up ’a farmer, gifted with an

abundance of common sense and with

a facility for expressing his views,

guided by a broad experience as a





Devastated by Forest Fires.

This want of native timber, except

forest fires whic swept the Thumb

country forty and fifty years ago. The

tive elevators in the county. There

were seven 01 eight of these elevators,



the directors and shareholders of _

whom were in all instances members



of the farm bureau. To interest other

farmers in these enterprises to take;

moderate amounts of stock in their,



and give Crop contracts to the elevat-

ors to handle their products, as well

as to buy needful supplies, was the first

big job of the bureau officials: Along

with this work came the decision of

the cooperative elevator associations

to join the State Elevator Exchange,



and proper action was taken on Octo-

ber 21 to bring this about. The farm

bureau has made a remarkable begin-

ning. '



The cooperative elevator associa~

tions joining with the farm bureau

were The Farmers’ and Producers’

Elevator, Bad Axe, A. R. Thomas, man-

ager; The Sebewaing Cooperative As-

sociation, Bach, F. M. Oehmke, mana-

ger; Farmers Cooperative Grain Com-

pany, Kinde, Henry Basler, manager;

The Atwater Farmers' & Gleaners' Co-

operative Grain Company, Atwater,

James Walker, manager; Farmers' &

Gleaners’ Cooperative Elevator and

Creamery, Elkton, C. L. Morse, man-

ager; The Cooperative Elevator and

Milling Association, Pigeon, H. J. Clab-

uesch, manager; The Farmers' Coop-

erative Company, Harbor Beach, Bert.

Ramsay, manager; Farmers’ Coopera-

tive Association, Port Hope, F. D. Bart-

lett, manager.



All but one of these successful asso-

ciations had been in business for some

time before the farm bureau movement

was thought of, and thus brought in

the local farm bureau well organized.

units situated at the leading shipping

points, and around which strong locals

may be created.



The 'new cooperative association at

Port Hope, which was organized by Mr.

Campbell, made a surprising record.

From the time of the first meeting of

interested farmers, to the date the cor-

poration was formed and the directors

and officers elected, was exactly three

weeks. 'An elevator already establish-

ed and doing a good business, was pur-

chased outright for $15,000, and oper-

ations quickly started.



Cooperative Buying.



The next important work undertaken

by the farm bureau oificials was the

buying and distributing of necessary

supplies, whiCh could be bought in car-

load lots, such as fertilizer and flour.

To expedite the pooling of their orders

for fertilizer for fall needs, the farm-

ers of each township met in their town

halls and decided "upon their individual
requirements.‘ Although it was a very





.r,bu‘sy_gseason the attendance at these

,‘meetings was from one-third to two-

thirds of the total membership in each

.township. The county agent attended

‘ many of these meetings and explained

,. 5, the value of fertilizer applied to the

' ' soil;





and the result was that the pool

amounted to 867% tons of fertilizer for





fall use.





About the time the first shipments





of fertilizer arrived, members of the.





farm bureau began to inquire about the

plans for buying flour. That work was

taken up with the idea‘ of getting a

quality product for delivery some time

in‘Octo'ber. Orders for flour were pool-

ed to the extent of 3,140 barrels. As

this is a commodity the price of which

for a period or season .is not fixed, ow-

ing to the constantly fluctuating price

(if wheat, buying of it is what is term-

ed an open market deal, and more or





' less speculative; and the local bureau





was requested by the State Farm Bu-

reau to make this purchase direct from

the millers. By watching the ma1ket

'with a liberal order the local bureau

bought at twenty- -five cents per barrel

under the market quotation for the

day.



“So far ” said Mr. Campbell, in our

interview, “the work had had to do

only with what the members wanted

to buy, and it became evident that

market what they had to sell. To sell

grain and hay requires an- elevator or

warehouse, where the products can be

graded and put in fit condition for the

market. This, of course, requires cap-





bers of our local bureau, which means

$31,030, one-half of which is paid to the

State: Farm Bureau, leaving $15,515 for

the year’s work in Huron county. .Now,

if .this fund were used to provide 9. mar-

ket for grain, it would just about buy

one elevator, and then there would be

no capital'with which to operate it.





"The only solution of this problem,”

continued Mr. Campbell, “is a local





marketing organization of farm bureau'





inembers, financed and operated by

themselves, with such supervision and

assistance as they may request of the

farm bureau. The average farmer real-

izes more than ever, I believe, the nec-

essity of cooperating with his neigh-

bor, and, with the neighbor of the same

mind, this may readily be brought

about.

Transportation Facilities.



Although Huron county'is situated

out of the way in respect to communi-

cation from the east and north, it nev-

ertheless has good shipping facilities

South to Saginaw Valley and Detroit.

Three different railroad systems trav-

erse the county. The several lake ports





.-





~great extent

afford very limited shipping facilities,

particularly to farm products, as water

transportation along the shore has

practically ceased. About the only port

worthy the name is Harbor Beach, a

thriving town which boasts one of the

finest harbors on the lakes, and is a

delightful summer resort.



Bad Axe, the metropolis of the

Thumb, is a thriving town of about

2,200 inhabitants. Besides being a rail-

road center it is becoming a‘ manufac-

turing point of some importance. Its

three big elevators and a‘ hay ware-

house, with a completely equipped

bean elevator, furnish a scene of activ-

ity along the railroad. Another indus-

try is the chicory drying plant of the

E. B. Muller Company, which handles

from six thousand to eight thousand

tons of this root crop each year. There

is also a plant for producing powdered

milk, and a factory making cement

staves for silos. Other industries in

the county include a milk condensary

at Ubly, and cooperative creameries at

Ruth, Harbor Beach, Elkton and Pig-

eon. .

Crops of Huron County.



The soil of the Thumb is of such

varying quality and generally so rich,

that any crop successfully grown in

Michigan can be grown with profit

there. The soil more generally is a

rich clay with clay loam in streaks,

and sand in places with good gravel.

they would not care to farm anywhere.

Holsteins are the predominating breed,

equally divided.‘ Farmers do not go in

for hogs as a business, though nearly

all raise a few for their own use. This

is also the situation regarding poultry.





In reference to crops, hay and sugar

beets lead, with oats, beans, rye and

barley following in order. Sugar beets

were a big crop this year, the farmers

were busy hauling them to the weigh-

ing stations or direct to the factory. I

passed hundreds of heavy loads, often

in strings of six or eight wagons. A

few loads of chicory were also seen on

the way to the dry—kiln at Bad Axe.

Beans were a good average crop this

year, but at the fall price around $4.00

per hundred few farmers were market-

ing them.



One drawback to large average

yields of grain crops is the reluctance

of farmers to use pedigreed seeds, and

is a situation due to lack of informa-

tion on this important subject. But

a county agent or anyone else to in-

The growing of sweet clover is a

highly profitable business near Filion.

At one place there is a tract of one

thousand acres and many farmers have

large fields of it. Alfalfa has been tried

out in various parts of the county, but

only in certain places has‘a good catch

been obtained. It is more successful in

the southwestern townships, especially

around Owendale. Potatoes have been

founda profitable crop, too, the largest

yields being along the northeastern

shore of Lake Huron, and near Kinde.

At Port Hope there will be about one

hundred carloads to ship out this fall.“





What Leaders Are Doing.



James R. Campbell, county agent, is

‘a. farmer with a business education,

supplemented by a broad experience in

handling men. His early life was spent

on his father’s farm in Clinton county,

where he attended the district school

and later was graduated from the M.

A. C. In 1909 he was an'in‘structor at

the college, and then enlisted in the

Coast Artillery Corps, U. S. A., in

which service he remained five years.

In 1911 he was commissioned first lieu-

tenant, and in 1914 resigned his com~

mission and returned to the home farm

comprising two hundred and eighty

a01es, which he sold in 1919. ‘



While engaged in faiming he seived

as first piesident of the Clinton County

Farm Bureau. In the early spring of

the present year he came to Huron

county as organizer and, after the

county organization had been effected,

was persuaded to remain in charge of

the county work. “The good roads of

Huron county,” he said, ‘f'sold me on

the proposition to stay with these en-

terprising people. ”



Mr. Campbell’s big job at present is

lining up the cooperative elevators

with the farm bureau, and the forma-

tion of.new ones where needed. He is“





. also interested in getting. the several

‘ ,live, stock shipping associations, situ-

Rated at,Grindstone, Kinds, Pigeon and





Baden. 1». 50.111 the tam bureau. -





v.





In my circuit of Huron county I met

and talked with a number of leading

farmers, but none of them impressed





me in quite the way that Earl 0. Mc' "

Carly, of Colfax township, did. In con-

versation with Mr. McCarty it was





easy to be seen why he was chosen

president of the local farm bureau. He

is a big business farmer and has a won-

derful grasp of the farm bureau situa-

tion in his county, and its success is

due in large measure to his foresight

and wise policies of administration.



Mr. McCarty believes that the use of

pedigreed seeds is one of the most im~

portant things to_ promote in Huron

county. A start was made this year

with a distribution of 3,000 bushels of

College Success oats, 1,500 bushels 0t”

Robust beans, ‘and 1,000 bushels of

sweet clover, and the fields thus plant.

ed were inspected by state inspectors.



The McCarty farm comprises two



hundred and eighty-five acres, of which

fifty acres were this year in cats, thir-

ty-five acres in corn, ten in beans, fif~

teen in barley and twenty acres in

sweet clover, with the remainder in

pasture. The farm is noted for its fine

herd of pure-bred Herefords, there be-

ing seventy head registered.

_ William H. McCarty is another farm-

er whom it was a pleasure to meet.

The farm property comprises two hun-

dred and forty acres devoted to gen-

eral farming. In the present year fifty

acres were in corn, twenty acres in

hay, twenty in oats, twenty in rye and

eight bushels in beans, with about one

hundred acres to pasture. Mr. McCarty

makes a: specialty of pure-bred Here-

fords, having sixty head of registered

stock, and forty-five head of Oxford

sheep. Mr. and Mrs. McCarty reside

on this highly productive farm situated

seven miles west of Bad Axe.



John Hunt, member of the executive

committee, is an enterprising farmer

who, with his son, operates a fine farm

of three hundred and forty acres in

Verona township, six miles»east of the

county seat. It is Mr. Hunt’s belief

that the most important work now be—

fore the local farm bureau, is lining up

the cooperative elevator associations

with the bureau, and the getting of in-

dividual crop contracts with them. He

is president of the Farmers’ and Pro-

ducers’ Elevator at Bad Axe, and is in

a position to know the advantages of

the elevators joining with the progres—

sive farm bureau.



A gene1a1 farming plan is followed

on the Hunt farm, and this year forty

acres were devoted to hay, twenty-sev’





en acres to Worthy oats, thirteen acres '





to barley, twelve acres to wheat and

a few acres to beans. The remainder

of the farm, about one hundred acres,

was in pasture. Mr. Hunt and his two

sons are enthusiastic breeders of Hol-

Steins. They have thirty-two head of

pure registered stock.



William Learman, whose large farm





of four hundred acres'is thirteen miles ,





east of Bad Axe, is another active





member of the executive committees”





At the time I called there he was busy





dressing hogs for market, but he gave,

' COUNTY superintendent of

ing sentiment when he said, “It

‘ farmers find it worth while to heat wa-

ter for their cows, to cook feed for

their hogs, and to make coffee for

themselves when lunching in the fields

or in the woods, why is it not just as

, much‘ worth while to provide some-

thing warm for the boys’ and girls’

school lunch?”

' county where hot lunches have been

sertred, the children have benefited

' both physically and mentally. They are

also learning something of food princi-

¢pals, cooking, serving and table eti-

quette where the right teacher is on

the job.” .

-‘ The hot lunch has come to be recog-

nized in many rural schools, as well as

in the high schools of the cities and

towns, as an essential part of the

school ‘program. The preparing and

serving of the one hot dish supplement-

ary to the cold lunch brought from

home Will easily simplify the problem

of providing school children with ade-

quate food.



First of all, let us make an analysis

of the.meals consumed by many chil-

dren during the school year.



1. The breakfast is eaten hastily in

order to catch the school wagon or to

have sufficient time for the long walk

with a few minutes to spare for play

before school begins.



2. After a long morning of exercise

and study, a growing child is ready for

a good, nourishing meal. Instead, he

sits down'to a cold lunch that frequent-

ly consists of inadequate and partly

frozen foods, while' the family at home

is enjoying a good, hot meal. Such

food is not conducive to mental activ-

ity—it is, to a great degree, the cause

of many cases of malnutrition, which

leads to backwardness in work among

school children. Upon proper

depends the development of a sound

body and healthy mind.



3.’ What is the situation in the even-

ing? This tired, hungry child returns,

repeatingthe journey of the morning,

and often helps with the chores. before

supper time. Though he is hungry he

should not eat before meal time. The

supper was planned for the men folks

of the family and in accordance with

the food served to them for dinner.

The one who should be considered the

most has been forgotten in this plan.

Seemingly he eats a big meal but is it

the right kind of food to make up for

the lack in his cold school lunch, and

’is it in suitable form to be readily d_i-

gested so that it will not interfere with

his necessary rest at night? When

. 'Tfleg'r T almir+~By G. 0.. Stewart





this ’is repeated day after day, the ef-

fect upon the child’s health is appar-

ent, though it is often unknowingly

attributed to some other cause. .



Are the other members .of the family

equal sufferers with the child? Decid-

edly not! After they have hustled the





little folks off, they go back and eat

their breakfast in peace and quiet. At

noon the family enjoys the biggest and

best meal of the ‘day while the younger

members at school are having a cold





lunch club in the high schools of small-

er communities, and in rural schools

where paid supervision is not prac-

ticable. .



The hot lunch club, to be successful,

should have the cooperation and sup-

port of the entire community. The

school board and the parents are most

intimately concerned with this project,

but such organizations as the Parent-

Teachers' Associations, the Farm Bu-

reau Locals, the Grange, the Farmers’





 





The Children Line up to





lunch. Usually the family dinner in-

cludes the fruits and vegetables of the

day’s dietary. These foods that are

so necessary for bodily growth and

health thechild misses. The evening

meal 'is almost universally made up of

the “left-overs,” which means many

fried foods. .



Considering some of ,these things

and that the child eats more than one-

fourth of his \meals at school, it is

worth while and effort to establish the

customof serving one hot dish in the

school lunch. . V - '



Ways and Means.



In some city high schools it requires

a paid supervisor to direct the work.

Lunches or the warm portions of

lunches, are served, not only, to those

pupils who live at long distances from

the school, but to all other students

who wish to take advantage of a warm

meal at minimum cost.



The purpose of this article is to help

and assist teachers, parents and school

boards to successfully plan the hot





23-

Clubs, and the various Ladies’ Aid So-

cieties should be made tol‘eel a vital

interest in the undertaking.

How to Provide a Hot Lunch.



The equipment for providing hot

lunches may be obtained in any of

these ways: The Parent-Teachers' As-

sociation or Ladies’ Aid Society may

donate it; the school board may

finance it, a part at least; interested

patrons may donate it; the school may

give an entertainment or box supper,

the proceeds to be used for purchasing

the necessary equipment; a shower

may be given and many of the uten-

sils supplied. If a table and cupboards

are needed, the larger boys can make

them out of dry goods boxes or old

desks. The fireless cooker should be

made as a part of the equipment and

directions for making it can be secur-

ed of the Boys’ and Girls’ ("lub Depart-

ment, Michigan Agricultural College,

East Lansing, Michigan.



The daily lunch supplies may be ob-

tained by the method best suited to

of Our Rural SMoo/s a (Mama: to Mar/tame Most of





the community. Food materials may

be contributed by the different pupils,

credit being given at market prices for

the foodstuffs furnished. Should the

club wish to make outright purchases





of food materials, a blanket charge of"





ten to fifteen cents per week may be

made to each child. In the latter case,

purchasesmay be made from the club

members. For example, a bushel of

potatoes may be secured from some-

boy or girl who drives to school and

has extra products to dispose of.





Only Simple Equipment Needed.



A good plan is to have each member

of the club furnish his own cup, plate,

spoon and fork. These are kept in a

cupboard at the school. Dish towels

are brought from home by the pupils

orare purchased by the club. There-

should be:



1. A two or three-burner oil stove.





Stoves may be rented if necessary for





the winter season. They will also be

useful in community affairs.





2. A small table or its equivalent. 1f

space does not permit the placing of

a stationary table, one can be made

which may be hooked against the wall

when not in use. This is made possi—

ble by attaching the table to the wall

by means of hinges. The legs are also

placed on hinges, thus allowing them

to lie back against the table when it

is folded against the wall. Such a ta-

ble is shown in illustration.



3. Dishes for work in preparing food:

Large kettle and cover, long-hand-

led spoon, measuring cup, measuring

spoons, quart measure, tablespoon,

fork, paring knives, can opener, vege-

table brush and potato masher. .



A teakettle, an oven and a few bak-

ing pans are useful, but not necessary

at first.



4. Cleaning equipment:

dish towels, dish cloths,

cleanser.



5. Staple supplies.



The school cupboard should be stock-

ed with a small supply of staples which

may be secured from proceeds of a

social, such as: Flour. rice, cornstarch,

cocoa, sugar, salt, spice, soda, soap and

scouring powder.

HE addresses and discussions at

the second annual meeting of

the American Farm Bureau Fed-

eration, which convenes in Indianapo-

l-is, December 6-9, 'wiil be devoted very

largely to two subtracts—economics and

legislation.

it will be the purpose .of the federa-

' tion to determine by this large assem-

bly of representative farmers from

thirty-seven states, the attitude organ-

ized agriculture will assume toward

pending and proposed national legisla-

tion and government policies affecting

agriculture and industry. Among the

more important matters that will be

discussed, according to the Washing-

ton representatives, are the proposed

.repeal of the excess profits tax and

new sales taxes; additional laws to

make bank crefi-ts more readily avail-

able to the farmer; rail, waterway and

highway transportation problems and

the measures suggested for their re

lief; foreign trade programs; collecs

tive bargaining, a protective tariff on

certain agricultural products, and the

extension of further credits to Euro-

pean governments to enable them to

purchase American farm products in

larger quantities. These questions will

be discussed in conjunction with the

plan of the American Farm Bureau

Federation for the formation of a na-

tional policy for agriculture. Governor

W. P. G. Harding, of the federal re-

serve board, and Former Congressman

A. L. Lever, author of the Lever Food

' Control act, will speak at this meeting





and will discuss certain new plans in





which they have been interested for

more eflicient commodity financing.





The Farm Bureau Federation Wash-

ington representatives are referring to

the report of the present condition of

the railroads, just issued, as hearing

out their claims made last summer,

that the inability of the roads to move

farm products and other commodities

as promptly as needed, was only fifty

per cent due to the/shortage of cars,

the other fifty per cent being due to

inefficiency of the labor and manage-

ment. The figures show that the rail-

roads carried more freight in the last

few months than ever before, with

practically no increase in number of

cars, and fewer men employed, the

Pennsylvania System alone reducing

its force to the extent of ten thousand

men. The desire of the management

to make good under the present sys-

tem of ownershipaand operation, -and

the discharge of many employes are

1ecognized as factors in spur1ing up

both the managers and men to greater

efficiency.





HE talk of price fixing and farm-



ers’ strikes unless the producers

get what they ask for, indulged in by

certain radical speakers at the farm

ers' conferences, is not taken serious-

ly by farmers, the real farm folks, who

come to Washington. They say the

idea that the prices of farm products

can be held up to war-time levels by

resolutions, threats and propaganda in

times of falling prices and credit defla-

tion is absurd.

however, a number of important one:

that will be very prominently before

congress this winter.





The Kenyon packer regulation bill is

new on the calendar as unfinished bus-

iness of the senate, and Senator Ken—

yon, who recently held a conference

with Senator Kendrick and other sen.

ators friendly to the proposed measure,

declares that it “shall not he set aside

ate.” If an attempt is made to side-

track the bill for any other measure,

Senator Kenyon Will force a vote upon

its displacement and thereby put the

senators on record for or against it.

culties than they now receive, and

would prove more advantageous to

them than the strike. It would elimi

nate all danger of tying up the rail-

roads by strikes, and is therefore a

matter in which both the farmers and

city people have a mutual interest.

Senator Cummias is also ducted as

being strongly in favor of the French;

Copper tmthin-fabric billnaad will use

his influence tward having congress

enact this bill during the short session.





It is evident'that the fabrics branding





bill will have a much larger following

in congress than was in sight last

spring, and a much larger politic senti-

ment in its favor.





There will be an increase of forty-

eight members in the house of repre-

sentatives, making a total of $83, if the

new apportionment bill which Con-

gressman Seigel, of New York City,

will introduce in the short term, he-

comes a law. Owing to the increase in

population in the cities and falling off

in the country population in many

states, this reapportionment scheme,

if successful, will reduce considerably

the relative number and influence of

the rural representatio'n. An effort

will be made. to rush" the .Scigel bill

through this session, as there will be a

much stronger opposition to any in-

crease in the number of representa-

tives, in the next congress.





When the farmer and the city can-

sumer compare notes it is diflieult for

them to understand why there is such

a wide spread between the farm price

and the city retail price of farm prod-

ucts, and it is suggested that this is a

leaves a very wide gap .to the prices

being offered this fall by the local tim-

ber buyers. In fact, the prices offered

by the jobbers and timber buyers to

farm timber owners are not materi-

ally increased over prewar prices, but

the table will‘aga’in show you how the

hardwood wholesale prices have behav-

ed during the same period. In 1917

the first and second qualities were $56

Again, do not take the tale toldnow

by the timber buyer too seriously. He

is telling you that the priCes are fall-

ing and that you should sell before

they go to the bottom, etc;



Such stuff is also bunk because he

knows and you know that the scarcity

of all kinds of timber will tend to ad-

just the price. Let the demand fix’ the

price rather than the jobber, and'tim-

owners must make up and prepare to

handle it as a timber crop and build a

market that will use the annual yield

at real and genuine market prices

which are the actual value prices plus

the jobber and speculator profits of to-

day. With a safe and sane coopera-

tion system in working order there is

no reason why the fifty-five acres of

A SERIES of hearings are being held

' before the interstate commerce

commission on the reconsignmen‘t and

diversion rules, which will compel ship-

pers to pay additional charges for the

diversion of cars and cause them much

serious trouble and expense in ship-

ping perishable products. Florida shin

pers testify that they will be hurt bad-

ly by these rules. There will be 57,000

carloads of fruits and vegetables ship-

ped out of Florida this year. Unless

those rules we suspended it will mean

the loss of distant markets and a vast

reduction of farm production in Flori-

da. Florida fruits and vegetables will

be in the luxury class. A large doleL

gation of fruit growers from West Vir-

ginia and several other states filed a

vigorous protest against the new rules,

asserting that if freight charges are

increased any further they will be com-

pelled to suspend the growing of fruit.

It was shown at the hearings that the

operation of the diversion and recon-

signment rules will prove detrimental

to the interests of the railroads by re-

ducing the quantity of perishable prod-

ucts to be hauled to market. ‘

grower. . Unlike a grain crop, it

the average farmer to market and ship

_ his time of marketing is largely limit-





ed to a period of thirty or sixty days

immediately following the digging, or

the alternative of storing until spring.

The latter course has a number of dis-

advantages. It ties up his income for

another six months; it subjects him to

the natural loss due to shrinkage. and

possible losses from freezing and rot;

and it necessitates more or less addi-

only advantage is the possibility of an

foul air drainage rather than circtila-

tion. By having a partition or curtain

It is interesting to study the history

of potato prices over a period of years.

F01 this purpose the ten- -year period,

1909 to 1918 inclusive, has been select-

ed as it happens to contain the five

largest potato crops on record in the

United States, except that of the pres-

ent year which was exceeded only by

that of 1914. The first chart shows the

price curve for each of these years of

large production, beginning with July

1 prior to the harvesting and continu-

ing through untilgthe following July.

In each instance it will be noted that

the price was relatively high during





&' 4-, Clea 1.910.





July or August, and infsome cases both

months-When only early potatoes are

available. It will also be noted that in

every case the early spring price was

lower than the price at or following

the digging season. The year of great-

est decline w’as that of 1914 when the

banner crop was grown. .



The second chart shows, the price

curves for the other five years of the

same ten-year period, all of which

were subnormal crops. Three of'these

years show a distinct upward tendency

‘from digging time throughout the re-

minder of the market your, while the

other two remain nearly stationary in

the tendency for the price to rule rela-

plainly discemible. 7

The conclusion to be drawn from the



charts axe that, in years of large pro—



duction, the chances for p1 ofit in thdr



ing until spring are very remote; that.



in years of normal production, the cost



of carrying over the crop, including in-

losses from freezing and rot will prob-_

ably offset this advance, or, in other



words, the advance will be‘ nearly in



accord with the carrying charge; and



that, when the crop is relatively small,



the chances for realizing a satisfactory



profit through holding until spring are



reasonably sure.



Michigan prices are used in the illus-

trations because it is thought they will

be of greater interest to Michigan

as the production of any state has no

as it goes toward making up the total

production of the country as a. whole.

The membership of the Dickinson

County Farm Bureau to the middle of

November is four hundred and four,

with only sixteen farmers of these so—

licited, refusing to join, according to



_ ~Agricultural Agent Miller. Directors

of the bureau have been chosen and

also a delegate to the State Farm Bu-

Hansen, of Quinnesec, as secretary-



' , treasurer and manager. The. farm bu-

reau has now taken over the marketing



association, (and it is announced that

L. ’B. Benjamin, county agricultural

agent of Bar-aga county, estimates the

yield of potatoes in his county as 50,-

000 bushels, with an exported surplus

of 28,000 bushels. Baraga is less de-

veloped agriculturally than several oth—

er upper peninsula counties. Agricul—

tural Agent L. R. Walker, of Marquette

county, puts the potato yield in his





county at 300,000 bushels, one-third of 3





which is to be exported. Mr. Kunze’s

estimate for Chippewa county is for a

yield of 50,000 bushels, with 5,000 bush-

els exportable. These are the figures

turned into the Upper Peninsula De-





velopment Bureau. There are several ,





other important potato-producing coun-

ties to be heard from.



There is serious talk of converting

c_ost of farming. These pneumatics travel anywhere in the fields and, during threshing,

enabled usto dispense with eight teams and eight drivers. We had had to pay the drivers of

these teams up to $8 a day, in addition to the cost of the teams and the outfits. Also we have

sold pasture and bought farm land in place of it. There are many other savings—of labor,

time and money. Due to the quickness of the big Goodyear Cord Tires, we now can make

more hay while the sun shines.”——-M. W. Bever, Farmer, Colby, Kansas, Rural Route No. 1





 





IT is everywhere observable, as above, that



the traction, cushioning and activity of

Goodyear Cord Tires on motor trucks,

effect large Savings for farmers.





This traction overcomes handicaps of soft,

slippery going, of weather and of grade

which. formerly caused hauling delay and

added expense in all kinds of farming.





This cushioning safeguards loads liable to

injury, shrinkage or waste when unduly

jarred, and thus enables the sale ‘of full

quantity and quality at best prices. " '





This activity permits entirely economical

hauling to and from motorized machinery,





‘ and by bringing more selling points within

Ahaulingrange,oftenreduces marketingcosts.





All these Virtues of the big pneumatics are

made most practical by Goodyear Cord

construction which sinews them with un-o





usual strength and endurance.





Farmers’ reports on motorization and pneu-’

matics will be mailed to anyone interested,

by The Goodyear Tire 8C Rubber Company,

Akron, Ohio, or Los Angeles, California.

First there hadbeen brown hills, and

here and there great heaps of stone.

The brush had been rather scrubby,

and the trees somewhat sickly and





brown. But now, as the men mounted ‘





higher, they were coming into open

forest. The trees stood one and one,

perfect, dark-limbed, and only the car-

pet of their needles lay between. The

change was swam in the streams

too. They were faster, whiter with

foam, and the noise of their falling wa-

ters carried farther through the still

woods. The road followed the long

shoulder of a ridge, an easy grade of

perhaps six per cent, but Ban counted

ridges sloping off until he was tired.

By now the smaller wild things of

the mountains began to present them-

selves a breathless instant beside the

road. These little peogde have an ac-

tual purpose in the hills other than be

furnish food for the larger forest moa-

tures. They give a note of sociability,





of companionship, that is sorely need-’





ed to dull the edge of the utter, stark

lonesomeness and severity that is the

usual tone of the mountains. The fact

that they all live under the snow in

winter is one reason why this seasOn

is especially dreadful to the spirit. .



Every tree trunk seemed to have its

chipmunks, and they all appeared to

be suffering from the same delusion.

They all were afflibeed with the idea

that the car was trying to cut off their

retreat, and only by 'cmssing the road

in front of it could they save them-

selves. This idea is a pawl-111137

prevalent one with wild animals; and

it is the same instinct that makes a

«domestic cow almost invariably mess

the road in front of a motorist. And

it also explainswhy certain cowardly

animals, such as the wolf or cougar,

will sometimes seemingly without a

cause on earth, make a desperate

charge on a hunter. They think their

retreat is cut off, and they have to

fight. Again and again the chipmunks

crossed at the risk of their lives. Some

times the two men saw those big, flat-

fcoted rabbits that are especially con—

structed for moving about in the win-

ter snows, and more than once the

grouse rose with a whir and 'beat' of

wings.



Every mile was an added delight to

Dan. Not even wine could have brought

a brighter sparkle to his eyes He had

begun to experience a vague sort of

excitement, an emotion that was al-

most kin to exultation, over the con-

stant stir and movement of the forest

life. He didn’t know that a bird dog

feels the same when it gets to the up-

lands where the quail are hiding. He

had no acquaintance with bird dogs

ATCH, stand firm in the faith,



, play the man, be strong!” I

think if Saint Paul were alive

today he would attend foot ball and

baseball games: He might not,,but I

am inclined to think he would, for he

constantly refers to the great games





. of his day. These were the Roman





games of running and wrestling. He

also. makes freQuent reference to’the

military. Tradition says he wasafflict-

ed with some incurable. malady. But

at heart he loved the strenuous life.

And in that we are like him. The

strong man draws out our admiration

every time. ,



An educator was discussing the

traits of boys, and he remarked that

the average boy would rather shake

hands with the champion heavy-weight

pugilist of the world than he would

with a'university president, whereupon

another educator spoke up and said

that the average boy’s dad would'do

the same thing. Lincoln’s early suc.

cesses in politics were due to the fact

that, he would out-wrestle any oppon-

ent. The greatest long distance run-

ner known was not a Roman athlete

of Paul’s time, but Ernst Mensen, who

died in 1844. This man’s feats are al:

most unbelievable. Hewas a Norwe-

gian. He ran an average of. one hun-

dred and twenty-five miles a day for

two weeks, in one race, between Paris

and Moscow. He hadto swim thirteen

large rivers on the way. He ran from

Munich to Southern Greece in twenty-

four days; The distance was two thou-

sand sixty miles, and hence be aver-

aged eighty-six miles a day.





ND as .Paul loved the athletes



whose sinewy bodies he had seen

so frequently at the Greek and Roman

games, he often compared the Chris-

tian athlete to that. He saidrthat all

men who are followers of Christ, the

world’s giant, ought to have some ath-

letic qualities. “Watch, stand firm in

the. faith, play the man, be strong.”

The word “watch” literally means, to

keep awake. No‘athlete who is bilious

or stupid can hope to win. He must

be on the alert, when the starting sig-

nal is given. Most of us sleep a good

deal of the time. _We sleep in politics,

and permit a small circle 'of men to

dominate the parties. We are asleep

in the cOndltions Which surround our

We sleep not only in our

pews in church, but we allow the en-





« tire church machinery to become clog-





ged. “Keep awake!”



As for being strong, that is part of

our business. Wouldn’t it be splendid

if the strong people, the while and for-

ward-looking people of the community

commonly gathered at the church? If

you came into - a strange - town, you

would ask forthe church directory, as

that is where the strong folks are list-

ed. Would it not be magnificent if our

children unconsciously came to see

that ‘ithe‘ fine people, the broad people,

the big men of the community were all

church workers? Ibear a; reader Salli





ing, “You make me laugh. our local





church has —.never' been burdened with?

strong people. Its mainstays‘are nlcje,

gentle old folks who never do anything _

very bad. nor very good? Very likely."

Nevertheless, the strong people ought ‘





to be those in the church. And before





Awe‘leave the subject, let us put it down , ,

that the strongest people~ have been ‘ , .





church folk.





AKE the great movements of his-

tory. See if they were not prompt-

ed by religious folk. There are the





Crusades. Thousands of the brave, .the‘





chivalrous of Europe, started for the

Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, to rescue

it out of the hands of«the‘Moslems.

They were the religious people of their

day. Here is Christina Forsyth, called





the “loneli’est woman in the world.” '





For thirty years she toiled among'a

wild, black tribe of eastern Africa;





never seeing a white face, save when A





some missionary visited her. She re-

mained at her post until seventy-two.

Would you call her one of the strong?

Beside her the modern he-rouged, be-

poWdered society woman is like an ant

hill beside Pike’s Peak. A while back,

I met a preacher. He is a strong man.

Paul would have been enthusiastic ov-

er him. He is so strong that I slept

with him a few nights, hoping that

thereby some of his strength might

possibly pass over into me. He has a.

circuit in Michigan; in a difficult field.

He preached thrice each Sunday, and

usually walked to his churches, a. dis-

tance - of- twenty-seven fmiles. In addi&

tion to that he was attending college





'in a distant city, going thither each





Monday morning, and returning Friday

night. They doubled his salary, as Well

they might.

der this text?, And hereis Paul him-

self. He tells others to be strong, and

he is the finest of examples of strength.

For thirty years he has no roof he calls

his own. He is eye; on the wing,

sometimes. at great bodily danger.

When it is all over he can 'say, “I have

finished my course.” That is, he had

run the race, and won. ‘ l .





But Paul is always particular to state ‘





that he does not do this in his Own





strength. No man does, and no man ‘





can. It has to be done on borrowed

strength? Most great enterprises are

carried forward on borrowed strength.

The interurban car goes by, carrying

a heavy, human cargo. But the inter-

ul‘ban borrows all its strength ‘ and

speed from the electric wire overhead.

A slender pole carries the current

without which the car would be dead.

Once I stood beside vast engines that

pumped the water for a great city. But

without the steam pipes that brought

the power from the boilers, those en-

gines would have been but so much.

scrapiron. And so, our strength is

borrowed. It comes of God. It comes

through faith in a good and‘powerful

God. , “They that wait upon’the Lord

shall renew their strength.” '





The Voice of the Pack





.(Continued from preceding page).

the others laughed and told him to

take heart, »



He took heart. It was a singular

thing, but at that first bite his sudden

confidence in his gustatory ability al-

most overwhelmed him. All his‘life he

hadavoided meat. His mother had al-

ways been cénvinced that such a deli-

cate child as he had been could not

properly digest it. But all at once he

decided to: forego his .motheris philos-

ophies for good and all. There Was

And its flavor simply filled'him with

delight. .





"What is this meat ?” he asked. "I’ve ‘





certainly tasted it before.”

mony. , ‘.

Their flavor penile! surprised him.



They had a tang, a. fragrance that was





' quite unlike anything he had ever tast-





ed, yet which brought a curious flood

of dim, half-understood memories. It

seemed to him that always he had

stood on the hillsides, picking these

berries as they grew,.and staining his

lips 'with them. But at once he pushed“

the thoughts out of his mind, thinking

that his imagination was playing tricks

upon him. _And soon after this, Len-

hex led him outof the house for his

first glimpse of the hills in the dark-

ness.



They walked together out to the

gate, across. the first of the wide pas-

tures ‘where, at certain seasons, Len-

nox kept his cattle; and at last they

came out upon the tree-covered ridge.

The moon» was just rising- They could

see it casting a. curious glint over the

very tips. of the pines. But it couldn’t

get down between them. They stood

too close, ”too tall and thick for that.

And for a moment, Dan’s only sensa-

tion was one of silence.



“You have to stand still a moment,

to really know anything,” Lennox told

him. .



They both stood still. Dan was as

motionless as that day ,in the park,

long weeks before, when the squirrel

had climbed over his shoulder. The

first effect. Was. a sensation that the

silence was deepening. around them. It

wasn’t really true. It was simply that

he had become aware of the little con-





. tinuous sounds of which usually he was





unconscious and they tended to accent-

uate the hush of the night. He heard

his watch. ticking in his pocket, the

whispered stir of his own breathing,

and he was quite certain that he could

hear the favored heat of his own heart

in his breast. But then! slowly he be-

gan to become aware of other sounds,

so faint and indistinct that he really

could not m sure. that he heard: them

There was an m rustle and stir, as: at

the tops all the piim trees tar swam

Poss-ibis Im- heaand. the wind,- too; the

faintest whisper in. the world: through

the umrihmsh. am finally, most won-

derful. of am. halogen to: hear one By

one, over the rim on which. he stood,

little whispered sounds of living crea-

tures-- stirring in the thickets. He knew,

just as will We know, that

the- Wet: about: him was». stirring

and pulsing? with life: Some of the

sounds were? more (lbw—en occasional

stir ad a; pebble on thecmk of. a twig,

and" some; like: the ma twitching: of

leaves in the brush not ten feet dis-

tant, could only be guessed at.



“What is making the sounds?" he

asked. ‘



He didn’t know it, at the time, but

Lennox turned quickly toward him. It

wasn’t that the question had surprised

the mountaineer. Rather it was the

tone in which Dan had spoken. It was

perfectly cool, perfectlyLsel’flccntained.



“The one right close is a chipmunk.

I don’t know what the others are; no

one ever does koow. Perhapsground

squirrels, or rabbits, or birds, and may-

be even one of those harmless old‘

black bears who is curious about the

house. The bears havemore curiosity

than they can well carry around, and

they say they’ll somemties come up

and put their front feet on a window

sill of a house, and peer through the

window. They must think men are the

craziest things— And of course it might

be a coyote—and a mad one at that. I

guess I told you that they're subject

to rabies at this time of year. I’ll con-

fess rd rather have it be anything erse.

Dan could not only perceive the ~5

smells and sounds, but he tau; that r.





they were leaving an imprint on the

very fiber of his soul. He knew one





thing. He knew he could never mrget '

his first introduction to the mountain.-





night. The whole scene moved him in





strange, deep ways in which he had}

never been stirred before; it left him ,





exultant and, in deep wells of his na-

ture far below the usual currents of





excitement, a little excited too. And“





all the 'time he had that indefinab'le

sense of familiarity, a knowledge that

this was his own land‘, and after. a long,

long time of wandering in far places,

he had come back to it: .



Then. both of them were startled out

of their reflections by the clear, unmis-

takable sound of footsteps on the ridge.

Both of them turned, and. Lennox

laughed softly in’ the darkness. “My

daughter,” he said. “I knew she would

not be afraid. to.come.”

INVENTIVENESS oF ANIMALS.





 





By MARK MEREDITH.

. "HE mole decapitates the earth-

worms in its larder, with the result

that they cannot crawl away; the

Greek Eagle, lets the tortoise fall from





a height on the- stones below, with». they





result that the almost invulnerable

carapace is broken; the sea-swift has

little material wherewith to build its

nest on the walls of the caves. It

makes one of consolidated saliva—the

well-known- edible bird-h nest; the

thrush breaks the snail shells on. its

anvil in the wood. When they are deal-

ing with animals endowed with well-

developed- brains it might be quite le-





gitimate to think of an intelligently ‘





appreciative awareness of the agency

exhibited. But what is to be said of

the poorly endowed New Guinea fish,

called. Kurtus, where the male fastens

the double Bunch ofeggs to a hook on

the top of his head and carries them

there till they thatch; or of, Darwin’s

Chilean frog, Rhinaodierm’a, a. anemone

with a very witless brain, where the

male- rears his family in his creaking

sacs? Inventive indeed; but man-

gentl‘y so. , '

N your lesson books, when new



words are used, they are printed at



“the top of the lesson. As I am to

use some words which may be new to

you, and some of them big ones, too", I

am putting them at the beginning of:

my lesson on the Jersey cow. ,



They are: Char-ac-ter-is—tics, En-

Pro-duc-tion,

Per-sist:en-cy, Re-sist—i-bil‘-i-ty, Ac-cred-

it—ed, A-dapt-a-bil-i-ty, Ma-tu-ri-ty, Pre-

po-ten-cy.



These big words are often Used by

breeders of cattle, and I am going to

try to show you what they mean.





If you will look at the map of Eng

land in your atlas you will find at the

bottom of the map a stretch of water

called the English Channel, and most

maps take in a little bit of France on

thesouthern side of the channel. In a

wide bay which runs into the land of

France between Normandy and Brit-

tany, at the eastern side of which is a

big headland with the city of Cher-

bourg at the top of it, you Will see a

group of little islands, probably mere

dots on your map. These are called

the Channel Islands, and, although

close to the coast of France, they are

part of the British Empire. They never

were a part of France politically, hav-

ing belonged to the ancient Duchy of

Normandy, and became part of the

Norman Kingdom of England, remain-

ing' part of the British Empire ever





since. There are four‘larger islands

and two‘exceedingly tiny ones, the

larger ones being named Jersey,





Guernsey, Alderney and Stark. Jersey

is the largest, but only measures about

eleven by seven and one-half miles.

From the islands of Guernesy and Al-

derney the Guernsey breed of cattle

has been brought to this country, and

from the Island of Jersey has been

brought the Jersey breed, both breeds

being often referred to as the “Channel

Island breeds,” and of all breeds of

cattle in common use they give the

richest milk.





Although Jersey is such a very little

island, discoveries of ancient skeletons

and stone tools show that it was .in-

habited by men seventeen thousand

years ago. It is a Very beautiful is-

land, and has been known as a health

resort ever since the days of the an-

cient Romans. It is an intensively cul-

tivated spot of earth; that is, every

foot of land has something planted on

it, and then two crops are gathered in

the year. Although it is known all over

the world on account of its cattle

strange to say, cattle are not the prin-

cipal product of the island, but pota-

toes and tomatoes are. This little is-

land is also noteworthy from the fact

that it has given its name to one of

the states of the American Union——

New Jersey; and you young‘people

should not fall into what we fear is a

very common errdr in thinking that





Jersey cattle come from New Jersey,

and not originally from old Jersey.-





IThe cattle on the Island of Jersey





have been known since many, many

years ago as producers of very. rich

, milk, and this induced stock fanciers

to bring them over to England and

then to this country.

of the breed were brought to Marisa.

ehusetts as long ago .as 1850. IFOr over common and So dreaded in cattle, than





Some annuals





two hundred years the breed has been

(kept strictly pure on the island by very

stringent laws, and this means that

the characteristicsof these cattle have

become “fixed;"’ that is to say, their

conformation, their colors, their facul‘

ty of yielding rich milk, and their other

qualities are‘ pretty certainly passed

along to their descendants. You know

that wild animals are all very much

alike. The type has become “fixed,i’





‘as it is called, by ages .of reproduction





under natural conditions; but our do-

mestic animals are the products of

man’s cooperation with and control of

nature’s methods; they are not per-

fectly “fixed’ by natural selection; and

consequently are more subject to fluc-

tuation, and‘changes can be quite eas-

ily brought abOut by man when raising

them. The longer any breed of cattle





*has been kept pure under the same on-





vironh1ent~that means the way they

live, their surroundings and conditions

——the more fixed or constant do their

characteristics become.



One of the characteristics of Jersey

cattle—that is, one of the things that

is most sure to be found in them—is

the faculty of economic production, es-

pecially as producers of butter-fat, that

part of milk which largely goes to the





any other breed. There, are more ac-

credited Jersey ‘herds—-herds which





the United States government'guaran- -'





tees to be free from tuberculosis—

than any other breed, notwithstanding

that there are breeds of cattle which

are much larger in numberlthan the

Jersey is in this' country." _



The J ersey, too, shows great adapta-





bility; that is, she-easily suits herself‘





to different climates, different. feeds,





and very~different places all over this





continent. She comes to early matu-

rity; that is, she grows up quick and

in a little while the Jersey calf .is a.

heifer and the heifer a cow earning

money' for her owner. Yet this early

maturity'does not bring with it short

life, for Jersey cows are known, to have

kept on giving milk and having calves

for tWenty, twenty-one, twenty-two,

twenty-three and even twenty-four

years. '



The fixed characteristics already ex-

plained have a great deal to do with

what is called prepotency; that is, Jer-

seys are almost sure to hand on to

their offspring the qualities of their

parents and grandparents. If this did

not happen more or less with all breeds

used by men, there would be no use

in the work of the breeder, whose aim

making of butter. Some great‘public

tests made in this country have proved

that the Jersey cow requires less feed

to produce a pound of.butter than any

of the breeds which have competed

against her, and this is economic pro-

duction. '

Another characteristic of the Jersey‘

is what is called persistency—sticking





q to it—which is that she will continue





giving milk from the time her calf is

born right on for a year, or nearly so;

of course, not as much milk at the end

as she gave at the beginning, but, al-

though falling off from month to

month, yet keeping upher yield to a

considerable degree until she is dried

off. Then she has another calf and

starts off again for another, year or so.

I have already said that Jersey milk

is very rich. A good many thousand





Jersey cows have been tested for ar





year, and their milk is found to aver-

age 5.37 per cent fat; that is to say,

in' every hundred pounds of Jersey

milk there is five and thirty-seven hun-

dredths pounds of butter-fat, (and but-

ter-fat is eighty per cent or more of

the butter on our tables). But fat is





not the only ingredient of milk- whicli'





is very valuable; The casein which

forms” the curd is also one of our best





foods, and when the casein ~and‘the fat , '





in Jersey,milk_ are added it amounts

to 14.11 per cent; that is, in every hun‘

over fourteen pounds of the best and

richest food .known.

of cattle shows such a high percentage

of food value in its milk as does the





No other sbreed f'

, Another thing in the Jersey that ap-

‘peals to a great many people and cer-

talnly to young people, is her beauty.

' The little Jersey calves are very cute

and cunning, with their deer-like faces

and bright eyes, and a great many

boys and girls that we know of are

1 very pleased and proud when they own

‘ a Jersey calf to take care of and watch

until it grows up to be a cow.



We have many stories of boys and

girls who have done some wonderful

things with J e1 seys Down in Virginia

' .her two little brothers when her father

and mother died of the “flu: and she

daily round of duties must be reduced

to a system? The teacher and children

should work out the plan together but

when the machinery is once set in mo-

tion it should require but little of the

teacher's time and efiort. She should

not attempt to do the work herself. If

she did, the real educational value

Would be lost. The benefits derived

by the club members from the serving

of the hot lunch will depend upon its

management. It is best to allow all

pupils to share in the duties, privileges

and the good times, making it a- big

“family affair.”



There are three types of work car-

ried on by the club. These are cook-

ing, housekeeping and book-keeping.

The club should be divided into two

groups, A and B. The work will rotate

for a period of two weeks. During this

time each group has an opportunity to

perform each type of work. This rota-

tion continues through the season. ‘



First Week—Group A, cooking and

book-keeping. Group B, housekeeping.

The duties of groups and names of

pupils in each group should be posted

work should be so~ divided that the

other school work of pupils will be in

terrupted as little as possible.

HILE it is essential. that every

one have foods from the five

food groupsin order to be kept





at every meal, or even every 'day.

There can be occasional lapses-of a

few days when the family goes without

some one class without any special

harm resulting, but no one can elimi-

nate one class for several weeks or

months 'without suffering. For exam-

ple, the quickness -with which under-

nourished children who never had

milk, add flesh When they drink two

quarts of ,milk a day—-or even one

qua1t——shows the necessitv of milk in

the dietary of growing children. How-

ever, while we do not require vegeta-

bles or fruit, meat, eggs 01 milk, cer-

eals, fats and sweets at every meal,

we should aim to have all five every

day. '



The typical American breakfast—

American because no other nation

lives so well as America—is a good one

for the best physical development. In

the average home it consists of fruit,





eggs, or one of these, toast or rolls and

coffee or cocoa. If it is necessary for

economy, the toast could be eliminated,

as we have the grain in our cer-

eal and are simply duplicating foods.

If plenty of milk is taken, eggs are not

necessary. If the supply of cream is

lacking, and buttered toast is not serv-

ed, bacon would furnish the .fat. Fruit

should be included if possible, either

fresh or canned. Cooked fruits, the

scientists tell us, lose their vitamines,

but as generations staggered along on

canned fruit before vitamines Were dis-

covered, it is anopen question wheth-

er or not mother’s canned fruit isn’t

as beneficial to the human race as the

fresh fruit.

ley act to provide adequate instruction

Mrs.~Huntley Russell, Grand Rapids,

Michigan, and ask' her what you can do.





F course, Christmas is the big

event. Observe it all the month

in the right way, giving where there

is need. If you haven’t money, give

yourself, keep sweet and aim to show

the Christ'spirit. Buy green and red

tissue paper, out in strips an inch wide,

and these into pieces four inches long,

will have. Potatoes take care of. the

vegetable dish, though you always plan

on, a side vegetable; bread furnishes

the cereal; your dessert, cake, pud-

ding, pie or cookies provides the sweet,

butter and the quantities of meat fat

outside workers consume in gravy, fur-

nishes the fat.



Supper may be a light meal again.

Warmed potatoes, fried or creamed,

perhaps cold meat, or. eggs or tinned

fish, plenty of whole Wheat bread and

butter, cake or cookies, and if you

have it, a salad vegetable, such as let-

tuce, celery, radishes, endive, any veg-

etable that may be eaten'raw. Raw

vegetables are too often passedby be-

cause they do not seem to furnish the

actual nourishment that heartier cook-

ed vegetables do. But they are neces-

sary to good health because of the

mineral salts which they contain.



Furnishing a balanced ration is not

a difficult thing. It is merely~ a. ques-

tion of keeping away from one sort of

food to the exclusion of other sorts.

Do not, as too many families who are





far from supplies of fresh meats and:





vegetables, run to starches and give

the family baked things, while abstain-

ing from vegetables, fruits, meat and

eggs. Plan during the summer to have

a cellar full of root vegetables and‘canz

ned fruit and vegetables.



Then in place'of an over-supply of

baked stuff, use generous quantities of

vegetables andunilk. If the family will

not drink milk, see that they get it in

cornstarch pudding, rice, tapioca and





bread pudding, custard, and in creamed 7





vegetable soup. Cook the vegetables

until they will go through a strainer,

and add to it the scalded milk. If you

have nothing else, make cream potato





soup and flavor with onion juice.

Make it a Cooperative Project.

The successful carrying through of

the school lunch project depends -upon

the interest and cooperation of the

school directors, parents, teachers,

county school superintendents and the

children. The community must have



the right attitude toward the work.

Right now is the time to start your

school lunch club. Hundreds of clubs

are being formed all over the state of

Michigan. The Boys’ and Girls’ Club

Department of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College is back of the movement

and ready to assist whenever possible.

The County Farm Bureaus through





“ their county‘ club agents and home

FACTS ABOUT TUBKEYS.





TWO-YEAR~OLD tom mates with

hens more than one. year old

makes the best combination fOr

The breed-

ing stock should be unrelated and it

pays to frequently obtain anew tom

from a distant breeder. Inbreeding has

been one. of the factors indevitalizlng

turkey flocks.



Old hens are not as satisfactory as

the turkey mother for hatching and

rearing young turkeys. It takes from





A





.twenty-seven to twenty-nine days for





the turkeys to hatch and that is a long

time for a hen "to set. The old hen

may tire of protecting the poults when

they are too young to be weaned but

the turkey mother will often keep them

with her until the end of summer. And

in that time she leads. them through

the fields and woodlands and helps

them to take on plenty of turkey meat

at a. small expense to the owner.





Protection from pests and storms is

necessary, especially at night. Young

turkeys should not go into deep wet

grass early in the morning. For this

reason a wire yard is fine for the moth-

er turkey and her brood at night. By

feeding at night the mother birds can

be taught to come home to roost. Keep

scrap lumber piles and brush or stone

heaps away from the turkey yard as

such places harbor rats and weasels

and make turkey raising difficult.



New milk seems to be good for the

growth of young turkeys and after they

are about three weeks old it pays to

keep plenty of sour milk before them

at all times. Sour milk seems to act





as a preventive of digestive troubles in-





all kinds of poultry and also helps to

keep down the blackhead which is the

disease that has put turkey growers

nearlyout of business in some sec-

tions.



The best turkey flocks which we

have known have enjoyed .free range.

Some breeders have had success with

turkeys on a limited range but We feel

that their cost of production must be

very large. And there is also an in-

creased danger of the soil becoming

contaminated. Turkeys on free range

gather many bugs and beetles and will

often practically rid infested fields of

grasshoppers. They also need plenty





- of tender bits of green food. Do a re-





stricted range where it was necessary

to furnish the bulk of the feed we can

see no profit in turkeys at the present

price of grain. .



Some farmers who have not raised

turkeys on their land in many years

may find that the soil is clean and

there will be a good chance of success

with vigorous unrelated breeding stock.

Even if very few turkeys are market-

ed it is _a great satisfaction to raise

enough for a few turkey dinners each

year. Of course, there is a great sim-

ilarity to chicken meat and yet a big

slice from a well-browned turkey sure-

ly tastes very appetizing during the

winter and the home-raised turkeys

taste much better than cold storage

stock.



Do not allow the turkeys to roost in

the poultry houses as this increases

the danger from lice and the turkeys

need even more fresh air than hens.





0 Their natural environment is in the





trees and wild turkeys ‘thrive under

such conditions.~ Turkeys do not thrive

under too much coddling. Place round

poles in an open- front shed and that is

all the protection from the weather

they will need. Keep the turkey house

clean and Spray the roosts at frequent.

intervals. It will also pay to inspect.





”the turkeys occasionally at night to‘

see if they are getting enough to eat

. and are free from lice. '

hide their eggs around brush piles land

in high clumps of weeds. Then if the

weather is cold and rainy the hatche-

bility of the eggs Will be injured. A

turkey mother can look after a. large

brood about as easily as a. small one

and so the breeder greatly desires good"

hatches. Some breeders place turkey

eggs’ under hens at the same time the

mother turkeys are setting. Then the

broods come off at the same time and"

the hen-hatched birds are given to the

turkey mothers to brood.





 





KEEPING escapees VIGOROUS.





NE of'the important factors in the

success with hatching eggs during





the spring is the care of the breeding .

Hens that f





stock during the. winter.

are forced for eggs in the winter. can-i

not produce /the most hatchable eggs

in the spring. Birds that are too fat

will -produce eggs “lacking in fertility..

If they are enclosed in small yards and

do not have sufficient exercise it will

injure the hatchability of the eggs.

Green food is a tonic to the hens dur-





.ing the winter and helps to keep them





in condition to produce fertile eggs

during the season of incubation. Ex-

ercise in a deep straw litter helps to

keep them in good physical condition.

Year-old and two—year-old hens pro-

duce the best and most vigorous

chicks. They are naturally apt to take

a rest during the winter after the pre-

vious summer’s laying and that rest

gives their systems a chance to recup-

erate and they have the vitality to pro-

duce hatching eggs with a strong spark

of life. The pulleis which have been

fed for eggs during the winter cannot

produce hatching eggs that are as val—

uable for that purpose as the eggs laid

by the hens. That is why it pays to

keep both hens and pullets. The hens

are to be the breeding stock which

reefs in the winter, while the pullets

are to be the producers, which bring

in the winter egg money.



Many failures with poultry result

frOm poor hatches and the mortality

among weak chicks. Usually the incu—

bator receives most of the blame.>And

the real reason is often a lack'of vigor

in. the breeding stock. One of the poul-

tryman’s aims must be to keep the

breeders vigorous during the winter

and thus begin the plans for the spring

hatching season long before spring ar-

rives.





 





SAVE PRACTICAL ARTICLES.





EARLY every farmer has a, collec-



tion of clippings or articles stored

away in a drawer or empty box. The

notes contain information that is valu‘

able when needed, but it takes too long

to sort over a pile of clippings when

the farm work is pressing.



Buy some sheets of thin cardboard



and fold them so that one side is ‘a‘

third of an inch longer than the other. '

OATS AND BYE FOZR PIGS.





 





I have eight shoats, weighing about

one hundred pounds, and am feeding

oats and rye, ground, equal parts bulk.

Would middlings at $2. 70 per hundred

be cheaper? These shoats root each

other almost continually. Is there any

cure, and what is the cause?



Kalamazoo Co. C. C.



Neither oats or rye are first-class

feeds for. growing fattening pigs. Each

one can be used as part of the ration

If one has this sort of grain that he

wishes to utilize, a small part of ground

oats in a ration, and ground rye is all

right, but the hull of the cats cannot

be utilized by the pigs. They do not

like it and will not eat it unless .they

are compelled to do so. Ryecan be fed

to hogs in small quantities, but this

food, too, is not very well relished by

pigs. You would have a much better

ration if you would cut out either the

cats or rye and substitute wheat mid-

dlings. It is hard to get a better ra-

tion for growing fattening pigs than

wheat middlings. They contain the

protein and carbohydrates in‘ just

about the right proportion and they are

very palatable. There is nothing that

pigs like better than goodwheat mid-

dlings. Before new I have fed pigs on

wheat middlings alone, but at the age

and size of your sh-oats now, one-half

of the ration now, 'by putting corn or

barley with it, is all right. Nothing is

better than corn if you have it, but

barley is a good substitute when it is

finely ground. If you wish to'continue

feeding oats and rye I would add bar-

ley or corn meal or wheat middlings,

compounding the ration so that not

more than one-half ofiit would be oats

and rye; If you have some skim-milk

for these pigs it would be a splendid

combination. It furnishes the desired

protein for growth. -



It is difficult to say what causes the

pigs to root each other. I am inclined

to think that you are not giving them

enough salt. Some people neglect‘al-

togetherto give hogs salt, but this is





. not a wise thing to do. For every bar-





rel of slop for hogs you ought to use

.about one pint of salt, and I am in—

clined to think that if you do this and

add corn meal or ground barley that

your hogs will thrive and that much of





1 this rooting will be stopped—C. C. L.





‘HENSIBECOME LAM 1-:.





 





Duiing the early winter several of

my Rhode Island Reds have first gone

lame, then in a day or so suddenly

died, although fat and hearty and ap-





. parently in good health except for the





lameness. The disease affects all hens,

both hens and roosters. What can I

do to prevent the disease from spread-

ing through the entire flock? Also will

you please state whether Rhode Island

Reds are more susceptible than other

breeds, ‘





Genesee Co. H. V.





In cases of tuberculosis the affection.





often causes swollen joints and lame‘

ness. Such birds become dull and in-

active .and later extreme emaciatidn re-

sults in death. It would pay to per-

form a post-mortem on such birds to

determine ifthere are any of the grey-

ish nodules on the liver which also in-

dicate tuberculosis. If this should be

tuberculosis there is great danger that

it will spread through the flock. It

might pay to- kill all the birds and have

the carcasses inspected. by a veterinarv

ian to determine which are fit for food.

Then 1a new, start, might be obtained





~ from a vigorous .flock after the prem-





ises have been-dislinfected‘. It will pay

to have an experienced poultryman .in

your vicinity 100k over the flock, as a





, great deal can be told about the health





and vigor of the hens from a persOnal

inspection. -~ ‘





 





 





the Rhoda Island Reds are consider-





, ditions and a light seeding of the com-





 





ed one of the best and most vigorous

breeds of poultry and we do not be-

lieve they are more susceptible to tu-

berculosis-or other diseases than any

of our best standard breeds—R. G. K.





 





WEIGHT OF SILAGE.





 





 





I have sold my farm and wish to sell

my silage. Silo is 12x35 feet. The

silage was made mom horne- grown

seed corn that yielded at the rate of

about one hundred baskets of ears to

the acre, and was put up in good con-

dition. Please advise me regarding its

value per ton and the number of tons

to the foot the silo would hold.



Gratiot Co. R._ H. M.



To find the number of tons of silage

in a silo, ascertain the» number of cubic

feet of ensilage and multiply this by

forty. Careful experiments show that





on the average, corn silage will weighf





forty pounds to the cubic foot.

It is difficult to state a price for err-I





silage because it is not bought and?





sold on the market like bay. The best;

we can do is to arrive at its compara-

tive food- value. For instance,

amount and. proportion of food nutri—

ents in silage» compare very closely to

those" of timothy hay and experiments

Show that one ton of timothy hay is:

about equal in feeding value to three

tons of good corn silage. Therefore,

corn silage would be worth one-third

as much,per ton as timpthy hay.

C. C. L.





SWEET CLOVER.





 





I have some sandy soil that has been

cropped until it is difficult to get a

catch of clover. I would like to seed!

to sweet clover this spr.ing I thought

spine of sowing a nurse crop of oats,

perhaps four or five peeks per acre,

and seeding with sweet clover. And

as I have not the barnyard manure to





the '





m.





 





spare, how much fertilizer and of what .





analysis should I use to get a seeding?

Could. the clover be made to grow tall

enough to cut for hay when the cats

were just maturing?



Huron Co. L. T.





Sweet clover will often make a sat-

isfactory stand on soils so light that

other clovers would be sure to fail. On

your soil with favorable weather con-





panion crop- you might get a stand of

the sweet clover without any fertilizer

or other treatment. However, the use

of two hundred pounds per acre of a.

2-8-2, or other good brand of mixed fer-

tilizer, drilled in with the seed, would

be a, good investment. If the mixed

goods can not be obtained, use the

same amount of acid phosphate. One

should also remember that sweet clo-

ver is a. limeloving plant and may give

a poor, spotted stand on a sour soil.

On one field which came to my atten-

tion last summer the sweet clover had

made a stand only on that portion

where limestone had been applied. An-

other thing to keep in' mind is that

sweet clover germinates poorly in a.

loose seed bed. If the field was in a

cultivated crop last year, it should be

fitted without plowing. Finally, try to

secure scarified seed and be sure to in-

oculate it. A pure culture'of the prop-

er bacteria can be secured from the

agricultural college for twenty-five

cents, enough to treat one bushel. of

seed. You cannot hope to get any hay

from the sweet clover the first year if

sown. with oats. Some pasture, how-

ever, may be secured after” the grain.

crop is removed. H. L. B.





When we follow a system of cover

cropping with a legume crop once a.

year, there will be very little need of

using fertilizers rich in nitrogen. The

growth of the trees is a good indicator

of the amount of nitrogen needed by

the trees. The most successful peach





growers are using an incomplete- for»





 





tilizer with good results.

(Continued-from page 689).

me a‘half-hour"interview, and I learn-

ed that. in his opinion, the big job now





, before the local bureau is the merging





of the local cooperative elevators with

the bureau organization, and also the

forming of closer plans for‘marketing

and buying. V'Mr. Learman planted this

year} thirty-two acres to oats, nine

acres to wheat, fifteen to rye, five to

barley and twenty-five acres to beans,

which threshed about twentykbushels

to the acre. He also cut one hundred

and fifty acres of hay, and had eighty

acres in pasture. '





Theodore Priemer manages a farm

of two hundred acres in Sherman

township. He is a member of the ex-

ecutive committee, and believes that

the most important work of the local

bureau is encouraging the farmers to

stick together for their mutual benefit,

and to satisfy them in all dealings with

the organization. ‘IWhat is needed,”

he said, “is more active cooperatii’m

in marketing, and-to this end the ele-

vator exchange would be a good thing,

if it is handled right.”



Mr, Priemer is a pioneer of Huron

county, having settled there in 1876,

when the country was wild and farm-

ing a hazardous occupation. In 1887

he took the farm where he lives, and

has developed it into a. fine property.

He raises hay, wheat, corn and general

farm crops; uses a tractor and six

horses. . .



Otto Pobanz, of Ppbanz .Brothers,

general farmers, is the member of the

executive committee from Sebewaing

township. He is one of the farm lead-

ers and believes that the local farm

bureau should undertake to get a “suf-

ficient percentage of the farmers to

sign the crop agreement contract for

grain, beans and, most important 9f

all, sugar beets.” He lives in the great

sugar beet district, which comprises

the west half of the county, and natur-

ally knows the needs of the farmers

respecting that’product, at least.



The Pobanz farm, situated in the

richest part of the Thumb country,

comprises one hundred and sixty acres

and the land is portioned out to wheat

to an acreage of thirty, of beans to

forty, of corn to twenty, and oats, bar-

ley and hay in like quantities. The‘

brothers feed about twenty-five steers

each winter, and average one hundred

hogs for market yearly.



One of themost. interesting farms I

visited was the Carr Brothers’.farm,

in Bloomfield township, thirteen miles

northeast of Bad Axe. It comprises

three hun red and. twenty acres de-

votedentirely to the breeding of regis-

tered Shorthorns. The owners are au-

thorities on high-grade stock and pride

themselves on the possession of the

bull, Royal Bluce, No. 795521, a two-

year-old imported calf. They bought

him a year and a half ago, wheneight

months old, for the sum of $6,000, and

he promises to raise the standard of





 





' time ago.

none of which is

Huron County Fair, Where more than

two hundred! head of registered stock

were exhibited, Royal Bruce took first

prize, and is regarded as the best bull

in the Thumb. The' owners have a





-bull calf from him, four months. old,





that they refused $2,000 for a. short

The farm is ideally located

for stock breeding'and the buildings

are well equipped. , '



A business of great importance to

the clover belt between Bad A‘xe and

Port Austin is the :apiary of David

Running at Filion. He has engaged

in this business for nineteen»,years,

much more satisfactory practice than. .

to leave them outside, as formerly done. '





The trade in honey, which is packed

in, five-pound and sixty‘pound sealed .

cans, extends togall parts of the coun-.

try, shipments having recently been

made to Washington, Nevada, Kansas

and the NewEngIand states. The to-

tal production. this year was about

twenty tons, "and the honey here pro-

duced has a high rating owing to the

pure sweet clover grown in Huron

county. There are scarcely any 'weeds

or foreign growth in the thousands of

aci‘es of sweet clover here grown, a.

condition due very largely to the mil-

lions of bees that swarm over the

fields. 'As Mr. Running remarked,

“bees are more valuable for their.work

in producing pollenation of clover and

fruit than for the honey they-produce;

and this is the reason farmers encour-

age the culture of bees as a business.”





Four miles south of Filian, on the

trunk line highway to Port Austin, is

the valuable stock farm of Elvin Broth-

ers. They are very progressive and

are united in the belief that all farm-

ers should “pull\ together and agree on

the solution of the'many problems aris-

ing.” In speaking of the sugar beet‘

situation, they remarked that farmers

should not oppose reasonable terms

with theflrefiners, but that they were

'entitled to a conference fora right”

solution of the trouble. '





The Elvin Farms consist of two.hun-

dred acres of rich land, divided this

year to forty acres of hay, twenty,

ed and supplied with running water.

In fact, the whole property shows care.- .

ful attention to best methods in farm-

ing, the cozy, comfortable farm homes

having every convenience enjoyed by

city dwellers. '”





Another big farmer, whose property

is located in Verona township, is Sam ,

Pangborn. His farm is in the gently "

rolling country east of Bad Asia. For

nineteen years they have farmed there,

and the three hundred acres was this

season divided into sixty acres of pass

ture, twenty-five acres of hay, twenty

acres to cats and thirty acres to wheat. ’

No sugar beets were grown. They ,

breed 'Shorthorn cattle, of which there

are about fifty head. '

Umbilical Hernia.—-I have an eight-

' weeks—old hound puppy that has a soft

bunch at navel. Would like to know

if the pup can be cured? J. M., Pick—

ford, Mich—If left alone the pup may

recover; if not, a surgical operation

can be performed that will effect a

cure.



Bruised Hock Joint .——Some time

ago my four-yeal-old Colt was kicked,

bruising the hock joint, causing it to

swell. I applied a liquid blister, which

reduced the swelling some. but con-

siderable swelling remains. Have been

applying hot water daily, but I fail to

notice any improvement. Can swell-

ing be reduced? C. J. 8., Rockford,

Mich—Clip off hair and apply one

part iodine and eight parts fresh lard

three times a week, until the swell-

ing reduces.



Lymphangitis-Puffed Hock—We

just purchased a team of horses and

one mare has big hind leg. It is thick-

ened to hock, besides the hook joint

is puffed, but swelling is soft. She is

not lame, exercise has a tendency to

reduce the swelling. How can swell-

ing be reduced? D. S., Mason, Mich.

——Your mare suffers from chronic

lymphangitis and bog spavin, or thor-

oughpin. Apply equal parts tincture

iodine and spirits of camphor to hook

daily. Hand-rub leg twice a day, don’ t

forget to exelcise her every day. Feed-

ing her too much grain and failing to

exercise hel when idle is ve1y likely

the cause of thick leg



Sprain—Have been leading Michi—

gan Farmer for many years. Would

like advice legarding my nine- -year-

old horse that slipped on cement floo1

kind is there a remedy? N. D., De-

catur, Mich—The writer is inclined

to believe that your horse is incur-

able; howevel. if you can locate the

weak muscles and apply equal parts

of turpentine, aqua ammonia and raw

linseed oil every day 01 twa it will

help him. The 1est he has had should

have made him well e1e now



Chronic Vaginitis. -—I have a three-

year- o-ld heife1 which freshened last

May out in a cold rain. I called vet-

erinary and he said she would get

along all right, but it would take time

She comes in heat every two weeks,

has a thick yellow colored vaginal dis-

charge, is low in flesh. Have thought

she would not get with calf until she

came in heat every three weeks. A.

B. C., Cass City, Mich. «Give her one

ounce doses of baking soda in feed

or in drinking water twice a day. Dis-

solve thirty grains of_ permanganate

of potash in one gallon of water and

with fountain syringe wasn out vagina

daily. Use not less than one quart

each time. When vaginal discharge

ceases. she will' perhaps get with calf.



Imperfectly Developed Udder.—

Holstein heifer, due to freshen Sep-

tember 20, has very little milk in fore

quarters, but back quarters are well

filled What can be done for her? A.

J. K. Burr Oak. Mich. ~After she

comes fresh gently hand-rub the fore-

quarters and milk her clean.



J. 13.. Rhodes Mich ——Your ten-year-

old cow which suffers from chrome

garget, besides fails to come in heat,

had better be fatted and sold for beef.

She Will perhaps never again breed

'and, of course, must prove unprofit-

able for dairy purposes. Your thin

horses may perhaps need more flesh-

producing food. Notice if their grinder‘h

teeth are in good order; they may

require floating. Go to a drug store

and secure some iodine ointment and

apply some to cows udder three times

'a week. Giving your old cow mix

vomica. and capsicum might bring on

heat. As you say, nux vomica is a

poison, but 30 or (SO-grain doses will

do your cow no harm.

acreage to grass.





FEEDS



The United States Bureau of Mar-

kets has found in a recent survey that

the carry-over of wheat feeds from

1919 was unusually large. Production

during the last four months was re-

duced because of the slack demand for

flour, but the carry-over, combined

with lower prices for feed grains and

open fall weather with good pastures,

has led to unusually light demand in

the central distributing markets. Pric-

es weakened slightly during the last

few days, and are holding around the

low point of the season. A's suggested

in previous reports, changes either

way from this level are not likely to

be radical. Linseed meal has come

down to a point not far above cotton-

seed meal quotations. Shorts remain

relatively high compared with corn,

but are quoted in most markets below

Latest quotations

per ton (100-lb bags) in carlots are:



Det.roit.——Bran $41; standard mid«

dlings $41; flour middlings $51; coarse

cornmeal $38; cracked corn $38; chop





000.000 bushels of hard winter wheat $35





was sold to Europe mainly via the gulf

in addition to considerable Canadian

via the Atlantic ports. Country of-

ferings have increased somewhat the

big decline in prices causing many pro—

ducers to sell out, beingat‘raid of a

further drop in values. Banks are try-

ing to have the producer sell suffi-

cient. grain in order to take care of

notes. but in North Dakota 3. number





of small banks which were heavily ov-'





erloaded were forced to close their

doors. They were not members of the

Federal Reserve Bank and could not

rediscount their paper. Statistically

the domestic wheat. situation is strong.

It is merely a question of time before

this persistent buying will affect the

price, and the volume of business

passing is most surprising in View of

the low rates of foreign exchange.





CORN





The corn market remains heavy.

The movement is rapidly increasing,

despite the low prices. The latter are

now somewhat under the pre-war level

to the producer. For nineteen years

previous to the war the average farm

price of corn on December was about

44c. At the price producers are being

bid at the present. time there is a

heavy loss and the next crop can

scarcely be produced at a profit even

with thedecline in other commodity

prices.

shows little change and the corn prod-

ucts companies are generally grinding

only'about fifty per cent capacity.

The quality of the arrivals is excellent

and the bulk of the receipts is from

the new crop. Nothing is heard re-

garding export business, although a

few small lots have been taken. Large

.clearances are reported as the result

of sales of old grain made some time





ago.



-‘ OATS



Oats have declined in sympathy with

other grains and are very.low when

everything is considered, around 30

@350 being about the best price that

is being paid to producers.





RYE





Rye has held up relatively much bet-





ter than wheat, vwith a good export ._





business under way, and is, pound for

pound, nearly equal in, price ,to that

grain. As compared with last year





rye is only a few cents'per bushel

lower, while wheat is around 75 cents

lower.

HAY





Light demand prevails.in the hay

markets with prices weakening. Al-

though values now leave little for the

producer, there is slight prospect of

an advance as long as feed grains are

quoted as cheap or cheaper than hay

on a per pound basis. At Detroit pric-

es are: No. 1 timothy $296530; stand-

EGGS AND POULTRY





Egg prices continue to soar in spite

of declines in nearly all other lines.

On the supply side *there is no pros-

pect of a change for two. or three

months, 'but consumers may decide to

turn to cheaper products and start a

decline. Poultry markets have been

helped by holiday demand and presume

ably will remain fairly strong until the

end of the year. Latest prices are as

follows: \‘



Chicago.—Eggs, fresh firsts 70@

71c; miscellaneous 60@67c. Poultry,

spring chickens 231/2c; hens, general

run 18@23c; roosters “17c; ducks 23@

Detroit—Eggs, fresh candied 70@

25c; small hens 18c; roosters 180;

geese 24((3250; ducks 30617320.





BUTTER





Following the lead of Chicago, which

showed weakness several days ago, all

butter‘markets were sharply lower.

Eastern markets held relatively steady

until near the close of the week. The

principal factors have been the ab-

sence of speculative interest, as buy-

ers expected lower values to follow;

retailers purchased in small quantities

only; new import shipments .were re-

ported on the way; arrivals at central

markets were relatively heavy; cold

storage holdings are large, and the ef-

fect of turning condensaries to the

manufacture of butter was first felt

actively during the week. While the

Danish holdings in the east have been





practically all cleaned up, two new-





cargoes with about four to five thou-

sand casks were expected to land

within a few days, and Canadian but-

ter was also offered in the east. Many

A MEETING of the Detroit Area

‘ Milk Commission was held Mon-

day, November, 29, to consider prices

which should be recommended for De-

cemberdnilk. The testimony presented

showed that due to unsettled condi-





tions and the extent of unemployment -





in'th-e :city, consumption was steadily

decreasing while production is consid-

erably abiwenormal. After a confer-

enceswithfeach other and with those

present of their constituency, the ofli—

cials of the producers’ and .distribu-

tors’ organizations signified to the

conimission their willingness to accept

a price of $3.00 per cwt. for milk on





- the one hand, and distribute it at four-





teen .cents perquart and eight cents

per pint on the other, for the month of





. December. The distributor also agreed

to launch an advertising campaign to ,





increase consumption. The price was

accordingly recommended for Decem-

ber milk as follows: To producers

$3.00 per cwt. for 3.5 per cent milk I".

o. b. Detroit, for all milk delivered,

the butter-fat differential to be four

cents per point for all milk testing

four percent or less and five cents per

point for milk testing above four per

cent.



To consumers, fourteen cents per

quart, and eight cents for pints, deliv-

ered. Bulk milk forty-eight cents per

gallon.





HORSE MARKETS ARE SLUGGISH.





 





The markets for horses are slug-

gish, with demand of a limited order.

values show little quotable change for

the week but are materially lower

than last spring. Heavy horses have

not been sought so briskly as Maine





.and eastern cities are buying few.





The wagOn horse trade is fairly good.

Selling mules is a peddling affair. Not

till'a business revival is insight will

the horse trade improve materially.

Such a change is expected to arrive

by next spring. ‘





M. A. 0. NEWS LETTER.





ERHAPS of greatest significance in



the part played by Michigan at

the International Hay and Grain Ex-

position at Chicago this week, was the

graphic illustration of the recent for-

ward steps in the development of im-

proved crop varieties brought about

through the cooperation of the three

organizations—Michigan Agricultural

College, Michigan Crop Improvement

Association and Michigan Farm ~Bu—

reau. '



The Michigan exhibit showed in de-

tail the work of the Farm Crops De-

partment at M. A. C. in developing

such varieties as the Rosen rye, Red

Rock wheat, Wolverine and Worthy

oats, Smooth Awn Black and Michigan

Two-row barley, and Robust beans.

Work of the Crop Improvement Asso-

ciation in increasing these varieties

under a careful registry and inspection

system, and of the Farm Bureau Seed

Department in aiding in the sale, was

also illustrated.



Varieties developed ,by the plant

breeding work at M. A. C. are not only





of importance in Michigan, but many‘

or them have been adopted as stand; ’





ards in other states. No other state at‘

present has an organization maintain-1

mg a system of inspection and guar-

anteeing seed produced. Michigan is,





the' first state to establish a Farm Bu?





reau Seed Department.

Gibse cooperation of the three agen-

cies named secures a rapid increase





plaCes safe seed at reasonable prices

in the hands of Michigan farmers.



Practical work in cow-testing and

dairy barn management is the feature

of a two-weeks' special course which

opened at M. A. C. this week. Sub-

jects that occupy the time of the men

and women enrolled are animal breed-

ing, feeding, Babcock test, live stock

judging, dairy barn management and

advance registry ‘and cow-testing. Be-

sides the class-room instruction, the

course makes much use of the college

herd and dairy plant.
