$25,000,000,000 of capital inter-related with

all other business. The problem of trans-

portation, railroad, water'and oceanic, is a

problem of agriculture, as well as of com-

tem of marketing, or more accurately, the

lack of a system for financing marketing,

forces seventy—five per cent of agricultural

products upon the market in four months,

‘with the resultant autumnal dip in farm

prices. An orderly system of marketing

would carry the distribution period over

twelve months. This cannot be accomplish-

not forget that the reserve act is essentially

for commerce and industry and must deal

in quick-maturing paper, while the present

farm loan act offers for sale paper with a

Status of Me Hog Grower





BREEDERS and feeders of hogs are experiencing the results



of a falling off in export trade due primarily to the depre-

ciation of foreign currency. This has put Ame1ican meats be-

yond the reach of European consumers. To further aggravate

the situation, home-» consumption of pork products has been cur-

tailed by enfo1ced conservation. Domestic consumels have ac-

quiied the habit of eating other meats, and using cheap vegeta-

ble fats as substitutes for laid.



Whether or not the future demand from Euiopean count1ies

is going to 1elieve the situation is a question that depends upon

their capacity to develop a purchasing powe1 sufficient to take

our su1plus for several yea1s, but such purchasing power must

be based on c1edit that can only be ar1anged through Ame1ican

financial institutions. The packer cannot put our po1k products

on foreign markets until he can get real money for them.



Getting back to a normal basis within the next few months

is not to be expected. We are sure to experience wide fluctua-

tions until foreign exchange becomes stabilized and home con-

sumption increases. _The hog grower, in common with produc~





ers of other commodities, must accept the risks and uncertain- .





ties inseparable from production. Many hog growers believe

that the government should fix a definite price which would

put the business on an assured basis of profit. But such a mox e-

ment would surely result in an ovei- production, and thus defeat

the object sought.



Eventually, pork production is going to adjust itself 10 the

new prices and conditions. In the meantime the hog glower

will make no mistake if he conducts his business along consci—

vative lines, improves his bleeding stock and perfects econo-

mies in feeding and l1e1d management. Doubtless many 110g

Management of Brood Sows.

Unless one can purchase suitable

With the numbe1 of breeders of properly with the right kinds of feed,

p‘ure- -bred swine in Michigan who are

producing animals of the large, profit-

able type, it is not difficult for one to

find young sows that measure up to





it is better to purchase young animals

and give them special feeds and abun-

dant exercise to grow large, museular

frames.



One of the most important factors

in b1ood sow management is that of

bringing them "up to good flesh condi:

tion before the breeding season and





. furnishing them with an abundance of





blood, bone and muscle-building feeds

after they are safe with pig. Liberal

rations of suitable feedstuffs are need-

ed to develop the unborn pigs and

maintain the body vigor of the sow’.



Properly used in combination with

suitable protein feeds corn is one of

the best feeds for pregnant sows. At

present prices, corn and oats, equal

parts by bulk, ground, supplemented

with one pound of tankage for each

ten pounds of grain mixture, will prove

a safe and economical ration. When

clover or alfalfa hay is available it

may be fed to a limited extent, but

hay can never be made to fill satisfac-

torily the place of more concentrated

protein feeds in the ration.





It is always important to have the

sows in' good flesh condition at farrow-

ing time, and it is equally 1mport'"

to feed them enough bulky and succu-

lent feeds to prevent

Roots fed in small quantities will pre-

vent constipation and promote the

health and vitality of both sow and

pigs. Avoid decayed and frozen roots

or tubers, and feed small Quantities

daily, as too heavy feeding has a ten-

dency to upset the sow’s digestion and

cause weak or dead pigs at birth.



Cutting Down Feed Costs.



Another big factor in the manage-

ment of the sows and pigs is that of

planning thelmethods of feeding so

that one may make the best possible

use of cheap feeds and forage crops

during the first few Weeks of the pig’s

life. If the litters come early in March

they will be large enough to make prof-

itable use of the first early grazing.

This will help out during the weaning

period, and lessen their demands on

the sow for nourishment. Successful

breeders of puresbred swine as well as

commercial 110g growers are coming

to recognize the wisdom of having

some kind of pasture crops ready. for

the sows and pigs as soon as weather

conditions are favmable to turn them

Pigs at eight or ten weeks of age

are just-at the most critical period of

their lives. As a rule they will make

Just

how much grain feed to use will de-

pend upon the quality of the green

feed as well as the price of the grain

feeds. It is sometimes profitable to

feed relatively light grain rations to

induce pigs to eat more forage, but

there is no real economy in the prac-

tice unless grain feeds are exception-

ally high in price. One must-use good

judgment in planning his feeding pro-

gram. , Always bear in mind that the

ration that produces the most rapid

gains is not always the most profitable

one, While, on the other hand, a ration

that produces cheap gains may pro-

duce them so slowly that profits will

be very small.



On most Michigan‘farms soil and

climatic conditions are favorable for

growing rye, oats, alfalfa, clover, peas,

rape and various kinds of grasses.





With such a variety of green feeds it

is a comparatively easy matter to pro—

vide suitable grazing for hogs through-

out the growing season. In the ma-





. jority 01’ cases a partial system 'of graz-





ing and growing so111mprov1ng .crops

will prove more desirable than trying

to force the hogs to clean up the crops.

Hogs will not make satisfactory gains

on any kind of forage unless it is ten-

der and succulent. ‘ It is always better

to have a- succession of suitable crops,

unless one. has an abundance or alfal-

fa on land where its growth is an as-

sured success. *

Finishing for Market.



In these days of scarcity of farm la-

bor .a considerable saving may be made

by allowing the pigs to harvest a por-

tion of the corn. crop. If they have

been well-grown during the spring and

summer months they will be in good

condition to turn into the corn fields

as soon as the crop is fit for feeding.

, The “hogging-down"'scheme is so

profitable that many farmers arrange

their feeding season so as to extend

the length of time during which the

hogs can haiv'est the corn crop. Dy

planting a few acres of early-maturing

corn they find it possible to put the

pigs at work two or three weeks be-

fore the main crop is ready. Thix

ence in the yield. By discussing the

can work out a system that will meet

the conditions on his own farm.





Modifies Federal Warehouse Act

To Farmers’ Needs





HE United States warehouse act



is the best law that has been



enacted for the farmers, the

warehousemen and the bankers, in a

long time, and its beneficial results

are obtained without injuring anyone,

said H. K. Holman, investigator in

warehousing in the Department of Ag-

riculture, in an interview. At this time

when the attention of the people is di-

rected to better marketing and financ-

ing problems of the farmer, it is the

belief of Mr. Holman that much pub-

licity should be given to the act and

its provisions.



The federal warehouse act became

effective in 1916 and was amended to

meet the market requirements and ex-

tend‘ its usefulness in 1919. During

the war little progress was made in

developing the system provided for by

the warehouse act, beyond the build-

ing up of machinery to enforce it and

prepare regulations and forms to be

used.



In 1918 the cotton section began op-

erations, and a field office was estab-

lished "at Atlanta. Today there are

221 cotton warehouses in ihe'south

operating under the act. The grain

section got into action a year ago.

There are now fifty—nine bonded grain,





warehouses scattered from the Adan:





tie to the Pacific coast. The wool sec-

tion, which began operations last July,

has issued five licenses, four to a large

Chicago concern that has approximate-

ly one—eleventh of the entire wool clip

of the country stored in its warehous-

es. The tobacco section will begin op-

erations in January. In laddition to

these warehouses operating under the

act, there are about five hundred ap-

plications on file awaiting action. The

work is greatly hindered by lack of

funds to engage the necessary help.

All is being done that is possible with

the means provided.





HE United States warehouse act



provides for the licensing of ware-

houses under bond in which are stored

such agricultural products as cotton,

wool, grains, tobacco and flaxseed. In

securing a license each warehouseman

agrees to comply with and abide by

all the provisions of the act. The is-

suing of licenses is done under the au-

thority of the secretary of agriculture

and the enforcement of the law comes





. under this department.





Each warehouseman is; compelled





, when applying for a. license to give





sufficient bond to the United States

to secure faithful performance of his

obligations as a Warehouseman, and





the bond shall contain such terms as y,

are prescribed by the secretary of ag-





.. ficultfi‘e' 4113',Pemon‘miarea by“ "the ,g -





 

 





By E. E. Reyna/075‘





breach of any obligation under the act

shall be entitled 'to sue on the bond in

his own name in any court.



Every warehouseman conducting a

licensed warehouse obliges himself to

receive for storage therein, so far as

its capacity permits, any agricultural

product of the kind customarily stored

therein which may be tendered to him

in a suitable condition for warehous-

ing, without making any discrimina-

tion between persons desiring to avail

themselves of warehouse facilities.

These products are to be inspected

and graded by a person duly licensed

to grade. The warehduseman is oblig-

ed to keep the products of each de-

positor so far as to permit the identi-

fication and delivery of the product de-

posited, but if authorized by agree-

ment or by custom he may mingle such

products with other products of the

same kind and grade.



For all products stored for inter-

state or foreign commerce, in a licens-

ed warehouse, receipts are issued by

the warehouseman, but no receipts can

be issued for any agricultural product

unless actually stored in the ware-

house at the time of its issuance. The

neceipt shows the amount, kind and

grade of the product deposited, the

grade and Weight being determined by

a licensed inspector and weigher. The

secretary of agriculture is authorized

to establish standards for agricultural

products by which their quality or

value may be determined. '



Mr. Holman says there are 60,000

warehouses, elevators and mills in this

country that are eligible to come un-

der the warehouse'act. The less than

30,000 banks are the custodians of the

people’s representative wealth; the

licensed warehouses become the cus-

todians of the real wealth of the

nation.





IT has been found by investigations



extending over a peiiod of twenty

years that in normal times seventy-

five per cent. of the farm crops are

marketed during the first five months

provides the bankers gbod collateral

in the warehouse recepits. George Liv-

ingston, chief of‘ the Bureau of Mar-

kets, says: “The Warehouse act was

primarilyvdesigned to aid producers

and warehousemen in financing the or-

derly marketing of agricultural prod-

ucts, but «in the actual application of

the act it develops that bankers are

no less benefited since they are pro-

vided with more reliable paper as se-

curity for the loans which they make

on the security of stored agricultural

products. The strengthening of cred-

its is always of paramount importance

to the financial world and no banker

should oveilook the opportunity to aid

in bringing this about w‘henevei pos-

sible.”



Mr. Holman says that bankers in the

farming districts who are in touch

with the producers and in sympathy

with their movement for better mar-

keting facilities, are strong for the

warehouse act. The banks are allowed

to loan up to ten per cent of their cap-

ital and surplus to one individual or

association, By using bonded ware-

housereceipts as security it is possible

for the bank lawfully to increase its

credit to one individual‘by one hun-

dred and fifty per cent. Under the

federal reserve act a bank can lend

die-150‘ 'Doultryihouses' and yards is

, One that should be given careful





. .'con81deration before one begins the

expenditure of, perfectly good money.‘





One piece of advice which will apply





to~ all cases alike is this: Never locate-





the houses and yards on a damp, poor-

ly drained plot of ground, on which





.shade trees,_grass and clover crops do

. not‘thrivie, unless it presents good 015-

. portunities for drainage and improve-

» ment.





Other conditions being favorable, lo-

cate the houses and yards where they

will be convenient to the heuse and





‘ pther buildings, so that the care of the





poultry may be made a part of_the

regular chores of the farm. If one is

going to get'the most out of the busi-

ness the work must be systematized

so that it will fit in with the regular

routine of the farm and interfere as

little as possible with other branches

of- the farming. And above all other

things never undertake the develop‘

ment of a profitable farm flock before

making prOvisions for housing the

birds comfortably, growing a large por-

tion of the food supply and simplifying

the work of feeding and caring for the

flock.



Expensive buildings and equipment





 





of the floor at some time during'the'

day. In order to accomplish this to the

best advantage, it is necessary to have

considerable frontage toward the south

or southeast. During the cold, winter

days it is most difficult, yet most es-

sential, to have the direct sunlight.

For this reason, the long,’ continuous

houses will prove the most efficient

for the money expended. A compara-

tively narrow house long enough to

accommodate the two hundred to four

hundred layer ‘flock, with light parti-

tions consisting largely of wire netting

may be built for considerably less mon-

ey than several smaller houses. Then,

too, adjoining pens, convenient to the

feed supply save a lot of labor and ex-

pense in a climate where the ground is

usually covered with a heavy fall; of

snow.



Suitable methods of ventilating and

lighting must be provided, and provis-

ion must be made to prevent damp-

ness from gathering. In a climate

where the birds must be kept confined

for several weeks at a time without

exercise out of doors five feet of floor

space for each layer is none too much

for the best results. This will prove

a safe rule to follow when the house

is to be kept in good condition as re-





 





 





A building of this type will provide ideal conditions for the farm-flock.





It will make it possible to feed and





care for the laying hens with a min-





imum of disagreeable labor. The plans and specifications have been ap—

proved by the Michigan Agricultural College and will be furnished free





of charge. Write to C. H. Burgess,





Professor of Poultry Husbandry,

are not essential to profitable egg and

meat‘production. Waste of money on

buildings and equipment which are far

too costly for the uses to which they

can be put is one of the most frequent

causes of failure. A flock of from two

hundred to‘ four hundred layers will

not require an expensive house, and

plans can be made to build adequate

brooding coops and summer colony

houses at a moderate cost. The work

may be done from time to: time and

cheap material used to good advan-

tage. .



In a northern climate, the long; or

continuous type of laying house, divid-

ed off into connecting pens will prove

more satisfactory for the farm flock

than" the smaller colony houses. With

such a. house for the layers it is al-

ways well to have one smaller house

in Which diseased and ailing birds may

be isolated. As Icontagious diseases

are the bugbears' of pOultry keeping,





nevery eflort shouldbe made to prevent





them from spreading. among the flock

of layers.

gards cleanliness and ventilation. For

the farm flock where less attention is,

likely to be given to these details

more floor», space is preferable. It is

somewhat more difficult to give any

definite rules as regards air-space or

cubical contents of the building. Six

or eight cubic feet of air-space per

pound of live weight‘of the flock is

recommended by some of the poultry

experts, but for the farm flock, where

as a rule, less attention is devoted to

scientific ventilation more cubic air

space should be provided. If the houses

and dropping boards are kept free

from filth and dampness, less air-spaE:e

will give equally as satisfactory results.



Concrete floors are the most econom-

ical and easily constructed for perma-

nent laying houses. As a rule. the floor

should be slightly higher than the lev-

el of the ground outside in order to

secure proper drainage. Litter should

be provided to keep the fowls from

coming in direct contact with the con-

crete when the weather is cold. A con-

crete floor properly constructed is a

most effective protection against rats

and mice and has become very popu-

lar, especially for farm flocks where

If' Petroleum Were

Wiped Out Today





IF petroleum were wiped out today,





factories would close their doors,

agricultural machinery could no longer

be made or operated, food could be

raised only by primitive methods and

the transportation of food would be

Confined to horse power and water, for

railroads could no longer run their

trains, and before any adjustment could

be made our great urban population

would literally be starved to death.





The prosperity of all industrial nations

is based upon petroleum.





The peak from which floats the flag

that symbolizes the prosperity of the

United States arises from a basic founda-

tion of crude oil.





Thc’underlying foundation of this prosperity Ii

lubricating oil,.for without this essential product

of petroleum, the machinery of the world

would stop and the world’s reserve of lubricating

oils, though vast in volume, would last but a few

weeks at our present rate of consumption.





The next essential factor is kerosene and gaso-

line, for without the first, one half of the pop.

ulation of the world would be without light at

night, and without the second, all types of in-

ternal combustion engines would be useless, and

the automobile, tractor, truck, marine and

aviation engine would be more curiosities.»





If lubricating oil, kerosene, and gasoline were

available, but the hundreds of by-products made

from the residue of petroleum were wiped out,

many industries would be closed and unemploy--





ment would be general, for in nearly every in- '





dustry one or more of these by-products arc nec-

[essary in themanufacturing processes.





Thus is visualized by an extreme presentation?-

purely imaginative—of what might happen if

petroleum, or any of its major derivatives, were

wiped out over night. Also it shows the im-





portance of the work the Standard Oil Com-'





pany (Indiana) is doing in helping supply one

of the basic, economic needs of the nation, and

emphasizes the importance of, the service the

Com any renders in promoting the comfort,

healt , and happiness of the individual citizen;

THREE TIMES AS FAR!





NE of the big problems of the farmer is to get his

0 Work done in something like the hours that the



city man Works, so he can hold his sons on the:

farm and keep the men he hires.





THE HUBER LIGHT FOUR cuts the labor of plow-

ing and preparing the seed bed, and of harvesting to one-

third of what it used to be and that means more leisure.

It means bigger crops because the work can be done on

the few choice days when the ground is just right. The

LIGHT FOUR uses heavier tools and does the work

more thoroughly. ~ It is self-steering in the furrow.





But those tractor advantages are real ad-

vantages only when you can count on them

with the same certainty that you used to

count on the work of your horses. Thou-

sands of power farmers have known the

HUBER for years as the tractor “that

always keeps going.” EVery part of the

HUBER is as strong as every other part.

And they all have been tested and tried by .

20 years of tractor building experience.

Every tractor is backed by a Nation-wide

system of service branches.



THE HUBER LIGHT FOUR does all belt work

on the farms efficiently and quickly, even to





driving a light thresher. Write for booklet-—

(According to the by-laws of the

Michigan State Farm Bureau, the ex-

ecutive committee as a whole is the

legislative committee of the organiza-

has been designated as the particular

member in supervision of legislative

work. J. P. Powers has been made the

active legislative agent. The following

is an outlined preliminary program of

work. All matters contained have

been carefully investigated. On an ap

pended sheet are some reasons why

the items in this program have been

specified. Before actively engaging in

this work, this proposed program is

submitted to all the elected officers of

the County Farm Bureaus. You are

asked to designate your approval or

disapproval of each item in this pro-

posed program by marking “yes” or

“no” in front of each item. This ques-

tionnaire should be returned to the

legislative department at this office

within the week, as the time between

now and the conve‘m‘ng of the legisla-

Lple ed condition. 'Would like to sow

something to grow in season of 1921

.Mr plowing doWn next season. What

is best to sow, and ‘how much per acre,

and at what time? E. H. G.



SWeet clover is one of the best crops





for the—building up of soils that are‘





low in organic matter and available

plant food. 'For best results, however,

the soil must ‘not be acid, since the

growth secured on an acid soil is ‘usu—

* ally very slight. An application of two

‘ tons of ground limestone per acre, or

from three to five cubic yards of marl

usually gives large increases in growth

on acid soils.





Sweet clover should be sown in the

early spring on a well firmed seed bed,

using from twelve to fifteen pounds of

scarified seed per acre. If unscarified

seed is used frbm sixteen to eighteen

pounds will be necessary, since the

seed coats of many sweet clover seeds

are quite impervious to moisture and

will not germinate readily.



If the crop is to be plowed under

this should be done about blossoming

time, since the plants are quite full of

moisture at this time and will decay

readily. Sweet clover is quite valuable

in this respect since the decay starts

in much sooner after being plowed un-

der than in the case of many other

farm crops. . C. R. M.





DESTROYING QUACK GRASS.





 





Last year I wrote, asking how to

kill quack grass. 1 did nearly as you

advised, but have not killed it all out.

In part of it I put corn, in order to

work it. Will it do to put» it to corn

again? What is best and cheapest

commercial fertilizer I can use for

corn, and which is best for potatoes?

My ground is quite heavy clay. Do

you think soft coal ashes any good for

ligaayy clay soil? Are they worth haul-





One must be thorough if they wish

to completely eradicate quack grass.

There is no question about that. This

plant multiplies by underground root

stock, and if any live root stalks are

left in the soil, they will grow. But if

one is thorough and, does not allow

any part to grow above ground for one

entire season, it can be completely

eradicated. Of course, you can put

thisland to corn again and it will be

a good idea if you give it thorough cul-

tivation and will go' through with a

hand 410e and destroy all plants that

the cultivator leaves. In this way you

can become master of the‘situation.





Fertilizer for Corn.



A fertilizer containing nitrogen and

phosphorus uSually produces the best

results with corn. On some land you

need potash but not much of the soil

in Michigan needs very much potash.

In fact, land'that grows quack grass

luxuriantly is usually pretty well sup-

plied with nitrogen and it may be nec-

essary only to supply phosphorus in

the form of acid phosphate.



Corn is a plant that is a gross feeder

and many times heavy applications of

fertilizer are used with splendid re-

sults, if you only use one hundred or

one hundred and fifty pounds per acre

apply in the hill when you are'plant-





faith to use five hundred pounds to the

acre, I would sow on three hundred

and fifty or four hundred pounds broad-

cast before the corn is planted and

thenjone hundred or one hundred and

fifty pounds in the hill.



I am of the ‘opinion that acid phos-

phate alone will be a. profitable in-

vestment. C. C. L.

HOUSE FOR TWO HUNDRED HENS.





Please give me the best idea on

building a chicken coop large enough

to accommodate about two hundred

hens. Does one made of cement blocks

give good results? Can you give me

a close estimate on cost of material on

the coop you recommend?



Oakland Co. » L. B.





For a. flock of two hundred hens I

would recommend a. house of the shed-

roof type, forty feet wide and twenty

feet deep. This will give a. floor area

of eight hundred square feet and allow

four square feet per bird. The house

can be divided with a partition through

the center, making two pens, each

twenty by twenty feet. Then if half

the flock are old hens for breeding

stock and half are pullets for winter

eggs, it will be possible to adopt

slightly difierent feeding methods in

the two sections of the house. A door

between the two sections can be left

’open at .any time all the birds are al-

lowed to run together.



A height of eight feet in front and

four feet in the rear Will give suffi-

cient pitch to the roof and it will not

be too high and thus hard to keep the

birds warm. Such a house can be

built of cheap material if it is later

covered on all sides with roofing pa-

per. Attractive houses have been made

by using red paper. This is held 'on

with small strips of wood and the

strips are painted white. It makes a

house more pleasing in appearance

than those that are covered with black

roofing paper. '



Houses of cement blocks give good

' results but the fact that they are not

as generally "used as houses built of

lumber is evidence to me that they are

not considered quite as good by most

. practical poultrymen. A farmer with

a few tools can build’a good shed-roof

house of lumber without employing

skilled labor. A poulti'yman with ex-

perience in cement work might make

a very fine cement block house. But

if the labor is scarce in. the district

and a1 0 expensive, it might make the

cemen block house much more costly

than the house of lumber.



We cannot give a“close estimate on

the cost of such a house for two hun-

dred hens. Lumber has taken a drop.

Next spring a building boom might

cause lumber to take a sudden rise.

The quality of the lumber and the dis—

position of the dealer might have

something to do with the cost of the

poultry house. It pays a poultryman

to figure out just what he wants and

then visit the lumber dealers in the

section and find out just what they will

sell the material for at that time. Be-

fore the war it was fairly easy to esti-

mate the cost of various poultry

houses and the cost per hen, etc. Now

conditions are more unsettled and we

cannot give a close estimate that

would be of much value to you because

of the great difference in labor costs

and the rapid changing values of ma-

terial. R. G. K.





 





TOMATOES FAILED TO SET FRUIT.





Last summer the blossoms of my to-

matoes dropped off immediately after

lbloomin‘g, and from my Ponderosa.

plants I had only two or three full-

sized tomatoes. I am wondering if. it

is due to lack of insects to pollem'ze

the blossoms? '



Wayne Co. A. J. C.



Two factors may be responsible for

thecondition you describe. Such fail-

ure of the blossoms to set may have

arisen ‘from heavy attacks, oflthev‘ leaf

spot fungus. This attack ‘would'f'ha‘ve

to be? very severe ma “Berry. , Emmi





of the plan. ‘





nation of the leaves would have shown

if the leaf spot had been associated

with this condition. When leaf spot

is present the lower leaves dry up and

the. upper ~leaves are peppered with

black spots about one-eighth of an inch

across. ‘



Another cause of the condition you

describe is dry weather at blossoming

time. If the air is too dry the pollen

grains do not germinate readily and

fail to fertilize the seeds.



Leaf spot can be avoided by using

clean plants in fields or portions of the '-

garden where tomatoes have not been

grown the preceding year. It is also

possible to control the disease by

spraying. The humidity of the air at

blossoming time can be increased by

heavy watering or by use of some sys-

tem of overhead watering. One mar-

ket gardener paid for his entire equip-

ment in one year by the heavy crop

which was set as a result of his main..

taining high air humidity. His neigh-

bors. had no early tomatoes and he

reaped abundant harvest—G. H. C.





BRIDGE GRAFTING.





Would you tell me what I should do

with apple trees that were gnawed by '

mice last winter? The trees are about

seven years old. They have been gnaw-

ed all around to a. height of from six

to twelve .inches. I ha 2: about five

hundred trees. J. D.



Bridge-grafting will often save trees

that have been girdled by mice. It is

best to do it: in the early spring, but

may be tried with good results even

after the buds begin to swell.



Pieces of round wood are sharpened

at each end. Then openings are made

in the bark both above and below the

girdled place, with a half-inch chisel.

The shoots are then bent outward, the

bending making enough pressure to

force the points of the shoots into the

chisel cuts and hold securely. The





shoots can then be given additional





strength with grafting wax. The

sho‘ots will grow with the tree and

heal over the wound in a few years.

These connections help the tree to live

until nature can help in healing over

the wound. About four or five bridge

grafts are used on small trees and

more if the trees arevery valuable and

there is time for the work.





HENS WITH TUBERCULOSIS.





My hens have been dying off. Would

lose one every few days, until I have

lost twenty-five. I do not believe it

can be cholera. Upon. examination I

find the liver full of white hard spots,

and the liver is very soft. What is

the disease and what can I do?



Jackson 'Co. . .



The symptoms mentioned indicate

tuberculosis in the flock and if twenty-

five hens have died with the trouble it

means that the disease is widespread

in the flock. The birds cannot be

made profitable with such. a disease

causing steady losses. It cannot be

cured and it may spread rapidly. It

will be best to have a veterinarian in-

spect the flock and decide which are

fit for food. Then all of the hens can

be killed and as much money realized

on them as possible. After a thorough

disinfection of the house and.adjacent

grounds it will pay to keep no poultry

for a while and then obtain new stock

from a healthy vigorous flock—R. K.

dustry peculiarly adapted to the waste





With a view to placing the business

' {on a, scientific basis similar to that of

agriculture and possibly encouraging

for production on a large scale, offi-

cials of the ,bureau- of biological sur-

vey at washington are cooperating

with the Michigan' Agricultural Col-

lege in making investigations.



Prof. A. C. Conger, of the depart?

ment of zoology, and ‘Prof. W. L.

Chandler, entomology, have complet-

ed a tentative survey of the fox farms

about Muskegon. So --far no definite

steps have been taken to extend gov-

ernmental support, but the prelimi-

nary \ investigations have revealed

some interesting facts in connection

with the industry.



The scope of fox production has so

increased about Muskegon in the last

year or two that Michigan now leads

the entire union in this respect. More

than $2,000,000 now is said to be in-

vested in farms within a radius of fifty

miles of Muskegon. Because the price

of a breeding pair remains at around

$2,000, growers have not yet begun to

kill their animals for the sake of the

pelts, instead either increasing their‘

own herds or disposing of them to new

producers.



Of the one hundred and two mem-

bers of the National Silver Fox Breed-

ers’ Association of America, a,large

majority are Michigan men and wom-

en. Leaders of the association have

requested the government to establish

an experimental fur farm in Michigan

similar to that already in existence at

Keeseville, New York. Whether the

government’s aid will take this or

‘ some other form is not known.





With the sandy stretches along Lake

Michigan presenting good drainage

conditions, and with the slaughter

houses of Milwaukee and Chicago

within easy reach to provide cheap

food, the western part of the state is

especially well adapted for this busi-

ness, according to the bureau of bio-

logical survey. For several years there

has been a shortage in the fur supply

of the world, and therefore it is con-

sidered to the interest of the nation

as a whole to stimulate fur production

as much as possible. To this end, the

United States Department of Agricul-

ture is looking for ways and means to

develop waste sand and swamp areas.

holdings to be estimated .he can get

the work done at a reasonable fee and

by an unprejudiced expert. An addi-

tional service is expected to be ren-

dered in this connection, for not only

will the cruiser estimate the value of

the timber but he will also offer ad-

vice as to the systematic cutting and

marketing of the standings.



The Michigan State.Farm Bureau is

the first of_ the State Farm Bureaus to

undertake this work. In the College

of Forestry at Syracuse: New York,

there is maintained an exchange for

the marketing of forestry prOducts.

This consists, however, only of the

maintenance of a list. of producers and

purchasers to which both classes have

access. Cooperation in the handling

of timber has been a difficult problem

but after considerable study on the

subject, officials of the State Farm Bu-





‘l‘eau believe that they can work out a





program of more economic market,

more consistent cutting, and will have

much to do with placing the industry

on a permanent: basis in Michigan.

Professor Sanford has been closely

connected with forestry work in Mich-

igan fontwenty years. In the last ten

years the woodlot industry has been

diminishing. In the. southern half of

the lowér peninsula. there are, roughly,

56,000 acres of forest land; in the

northern half of the southern penin~

sula there are about 180,000 acres. The

upper peninsula. is estimated to con-

tain 3,000,000 acres of forest, counting

thick, thin and virgin. The State Farm

Bureau prog‘am is expected to main-

tain the industry for a definite time.

In the upper peninsula there is oppor-

tunity to bring in industry along sev-

eral lines, one of them being the ‘close

utilization of while birch for spools.

()n the whole. the establishment of

this department is expected to be of

benefit not only to the farmers who

own the timber but, also to the indus-

try as a whole. When the producer

can make a profit the manufacturer

can expect a continued supplyof raw

material. This is true in any industry.

In forestry it is a slow problem be-

cauée the growth of the crop is slow,

but the department expects to carry on

an educational campaign parallel with





all its business, and educate, not the—





oretically, but prove that it pays to

systematize wood lot marketing.

The black raspberry requires care

in its pruning, which must be done at

two seasons of the year to get the best

results. The young stalks that grow

from the roots in the spring should be

stopped by pinching out the tip when

they reach a height of about twenty

inches. This work will necessitate go-

A FEW YEARS AGO the milk maid separated cream from milk

There is a real necessity for extracting water from gasoline

just before discharging it into the automobile reservoir, because

gasoline accumulates water in any kind of a tank.





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





You have seen steam in your kitchen strike a cold window pane,

When gasoline is drawn from a storage tank by any process,

a like volume of air is forced into the tank by atmospheric pressure.

The air entering the tank goes through the same process as the

“um" “m - steam on your kitchen window. Its moisture content is con-

,"m" ""‘f’ , densed, forms water and mixes with the gasoline.





Modern automobile service demands the extraction of this water

before the gasoline is discharged into the automobile reservoir.

lWater, being heavier than gasoline, is separated by this whirling

is trapped in the separator. After passing through a wire cloth

’ ANS are formulated whereby Del-



ta "cou'ntyr farmers will .market

It is pro-

posed to establish a milk-distributing

plant in Escan’aba, the largest city of

the county, and sell direct to distrib-

utors or consumers at market prices,

while the excess will be utilized in a

cooperative Creamery and cheese fac-

tory. To finance the venture, stock at

ten dollars per share, will the sold to

farmers on the basis of one share to

each cow milked. It is pointed out

that farmers have been receiving only

about two dollars per hundred pounds

for their milk sold to the cheese-fad

tories of the county and this, it is stat-

ed, has discouraged the dairy industry

of Delta county. The new'plan con-

templates a smaller spread between

producer and consumer, with advan-

tage to both. When I saw Agent Pat-

tison in Escanaba’, last October, he





- was full of the new scheme and: his





latest news-letter confirms his inten-

tion to go forward with the project. It

will be separately incorporated but





. will operate through the locals of the





farm bureau, it is proposed. The

scheme should not be regarded, I take

it, as an accomplished fact, but it

looks well at this writing. '





Delta county farmers have shipped

potatoes through onto the Cadillac

Exchange, this fall, to the extent of

fifty carloads, operating through the

farm bureau or directly. A big potato

warehouse is planned for Perkins by

the local marketing association, and a

representative has been sent to the

lower peninsula to investigate ware-

houses there.



The Delta County Farm Bureau is

organized on a community basis rather

than a. toWnship basis, which seems

very good, and each such local is in-

corporated separately. The bureau up

to the middle of December, had pur-





 





’ chased for its members twelve car-





loads of feed. It has perfected a sell-

ing arrangement with the Cadillac Po-

tato Exchange. At present local sec-

retaries are taking orders for grass-

seed and fertilizer to be purchased

through the State Farm Bureau.



County Agents Kirshmanfof Menom-

inee county, Michigan, and Sibole, of

Marionette county, Wisconsin, are said

to be .babk of a project to establish an

inter-state hay, grain and potato show

to be held in Menominee and Marion-

ette in January of each year alternate-

ly. Counties in the southwestern por-

tion of the upper peninsula and the

northeastern portion of Wisconsin

would be concernedin this inter-state

fair, which is said to have some good

backing.



Literature on Cloverland.



The Upper Peninsula Development

Bureau is preparing a new agricultural

booklet relating to the northern penin-

sula of the state, which will be pub-

lished in a month 01' two.- L. M. Geis-

mar, county agricultural agent ‘of

Houghton county, has prepared the

text. Mr. Geismar has considerable

capacity for-work of this kind, and





 





large demand for this publication. The

bureau’s present stock of descriptive





_ literature is pretty well exhausted. In





the new booklet, Mr. Geismar begins

by pointing out the large size of the

upper peninsula—10,682,240 ’ acres—-

larger than the four states of Connec-

ticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and

thde Island; and, although he does

not say so, the (upper peninsula has a

greater Isngth‘ than the southern pe-

ninsula of Michigan. Then Mr. Geis-

‘mar'proceeds to explain the propriety

'of‘ the term, “Cloverland,” as applied,

to the coun '

clover, but, as he says, “Wherever the

soils in the upper peninsula are stall

adapted for agriculture, clover will be

found as a volunteer crop, first upon

abandoned logging roads, along rights-

of-way of railroads and public high-

ways, then spreading and‘continuing

to flourish whether between stumps of

cut-over lands, upon the raw soils of

railroad cuts and embankments, often

encroaching upon SWamps too wet for

tame grasses.” He points out that the

rich soils over the limestone on the

southern slope of the peninsula are of

the same formation as that which be-

longs to- the famous blue-grass region

of Kentucky. Mr. Geismar locates the

area of good soils with much exacti~





tude and estimates them'topcomprise~





nearly seventy per cent of the area of

the peninsula, or over seven million

acres. Comparing the yield of princi—

pal farm crops for the United States

and Michigan, and the upper peninsula

of Michigan, as shown by the Year-

book of the United States Department

of Agriculture, Mr. Geismar elicits the

fact that during the five-year period.

the upper peninsula averaged a wheat.





production of 20.04 bushels, while the .





yield for the state was eighteen, and

for the United States fourteen bushels.

Of cats the excess production per acre

is given as three bushels when com—

pared with the national average; the

excess for barley is two bushels; rye

about the same for both; while for

potatoes the excess is nineteen bush-

els, the upper peninsula yield averag-

ing one hundred and eleven bushels.

Mr. Geismar brings out the striking

fact that the proximity of Lake Supe-

rior gives its shorelline a later first~

killing frost in the fall than places six

hundred miles to the southward in Vir-

ginia, Kentucky and Kansas, and does

not fail to draw the conclusion that

this shore line is a fine prospective





fruit countryha conclusion natural to -





the location of the very successful

northern orchards near Marquette. He

also points out that the average yield

of farm cropsj'requently runs higher

in the upper peninsula than in the

more southerly latitudes indicated. He

quotes approvingly a bulletin of the

United States Department of Agricul~

ture to the effect that the more pro—V

tracted sunlight of this northern lati-

tude gives a higher sugar content to

sugar beets, and, while he does not say

so here, Mr. Geismar is known to hold

the View that this section is favorable

to the growth of sugar beet seed, since

it is possible to leave the beets in the

ground during the winter Without dan-

ger of freezing in order to secure their

second season's growth for seed pro—

duction. The hardiness of the sugar

beets grown in northern latitudes is

also emphasized. Nor does Mr. Geis-

mar overlook the importance of twi-

light and its excess in these northern

latitudes in promoting plant growth

and sugar content. The booklet will

be useful to those who‘ desire authentic

information regarding this not- very

well-known, and understood section of

Michigan.

5 ‘5 THE New York State Potato Grow- '





ers’ Association has been holding





racuse, Malone, Belmont and Hudson

Falls to determine on measures to be

recommended for final decision at the

annual meeting of the association to

be held at Ithaca in February.



'One of the maimthings to be deter-

mined is whether a central marketing

organization shall be established. A

committee consisting of President E.

E. Hults, of Marathon, E. V. Harden-

burg, of Ithaca, secretary, and L. R.

Simons, representative of the market-

ing committee bf the State Farm Bu-

reau, recently‘studied methods follow-

ed by Michigan growers along this

line. The reports are being given at

the meetings.

’ At the Rochester meeting, one of the

first held, comprising the growers of

the western counties of the state, the

sentiment of the growers was express-

ed as against the formation at present

of a state marketing program for table

stock. It was felt that the growers

throughout the state were not‘yet

ready to undertake such a venture.





It was the opinion of repreSentative,





growers present from seven counties

that the present marketing plan for

certified potato seed by local_ clubs

should be extended and improved, with

the object eventually of having all

clubs federated into a state associa-

tion. A resolution to this effect was

adopted and will be presented at a.

state-wide committee meeting some

time later and torwhich‘ the growers

instructed the farm bureau managers

in the respective counties each to ap-





In the discussion on the question

whether this state should have cen-





tralized bodies to handle both the cer- ,





tified seed and the table stock it was

pointed out that conditions in New

York state are much different tha

those of Michigan, where the growers’

organizations are strong. It was said

that the Michigan growers produced

only one or two varieties on a large

scale while in this state there is a

great diversity. In Michigan also, the

growers of the upper peninsula and

the extreme southern corner of the

state have very long-haul shipments

and it is necessary to organize to pro-

tect themselves on rail rates.



The seven counties represented at

the Rochester meeting were: Monroe,

Tioga, Allegheny, Wyoming, Genesee,

Ontario and Erie. President Hults, of

the State Potato Growers’ Associa-

tion, presided. Among the big state

growers present were: Daniel Dean,

of Nichols; F20. Gibbs and H. R. Hod-

nett, of Fillmore; L. H. Robinson, of

Castile; J. L. Salisbury, George Rich-

mond, and Avery Brothers, of Phelps;





Keary, of Manilla; P. A. Perkins, of

Pittsford, and R. Appleton & Sons, of

Canandaigua.



. The number of growers in the state

association has grown from fourteen

in 1914 to over three hundred in 1920,

according to Secretary Hardenburg,

about two hundred of Whom have their

Howling, the forest people know,





never helped one . living thing. Of





course this means such howls as Whis-

perfoot uttered now, not that deliber-

ate long singsong by which certain of

the beasts of prey will sometimes

throw a herd of game into a pariic and

cause them to run into an ambush. All

WhiSperfoot’s howl of anger achieved

was to frighten all the deerout of his

territory and render it extremely un-

likely that he would have another

chance at them that night. Even Dan

and Lennox, too far distant to hear the

shots, heard “the howl very plainly,

and both of them rejoiced that he had

missed. V



.The long night was almost" done

when Whisperfoot even got sight of

further game. Once a flock of grouse

exploded with a roar of wings from a

thicket; but they had been wakened

by the first whisper of dawn in the

wind, and he really had no chance at

them. Soon after this, the moon set.



The larger creatures of the forest

are almost as helpless in absolute

darkness as human beings. It is very

well to talk of seeing‘ in the dark, but

from the nature of things, even verti‘

cal pupils may only respond to light.

No owl or bat can see in absolute dark-

ness. Although the stars still burned,

and possibly a‘fine filament of light

*had spread out from the east, the de-

scending moon left the forest much too

dark for Whisperfoot to hunt with any

advantage. It became increasingly

likely that he would have to retire to

his lair without any meal whatever.



But still he remained, hoping against

hope. After a futile fifteen minutes of

watching a trail, he heard a doe feed-

ing on a hillside. Its footfall was not

so heavy as the sturdy tramp of a





 





 





 





 





buck, and besides, the bucks would be

higher on the ridges this time ofmorn-I

ing. He began a. cautious advance

toward it. - ' |



For the first fifty yards the hunt was

in his favor. He came up wind, and

the brush made a perfiect cover. But

the doe unfortunately was standing a

full twenty yards farther, in an openE

glade. For a long moment the tawny

creature stood motionless, hoping that

the prey would wander toward him.

But even in. this darkness, he could tell

that she was making a. half-circle that

would miss, him by forty yards, a

course that would eventually, take her

down wind in almost the direction that:

Whisperfoot had come.





Under ordinary circumstances Whis-'

perfoot would not have made an at-

tack. A cougar can run swiftly, but a





have preferred to linger, a motionless

thing in the thickets, hoping some

other member of the deer herd to

which the doe must have belonged

would come intb his ambush. But the

hunt was late, and Whisperfoot was

very, very angry. Too many times

this night he had missed his kill. . Be-

sides, the herd was certainly some-

where down wind, and for certain very

important reasons a cougar might as

well hunt elephants as try to stalk

down wind. The breeze cariies his

scent more surely than a servant‘ car-

ries a visiting card. In desperation,

he leaped from the thicket and charged

the deer.



In spite of the preponderant odds

against him, the chargelwas almost a

success. He went fully half 'the dis-

tance between them before the deer ‘

perceived him. Then she leaped.

There seemed to be no interlude of

time between the instant that she- be-

- course this means such howls as Whis-





perfoot uttered now, not that deliber-

ate long singsong by Which certain of

the beasts of prey will sometimes

throw a herd of game into a panic and

cause them to run into an ambush. All

WhiSperfoot’s howl of anger achieved

was to frighten all the deerout of his

territory and render it extremely un-

likely that he would have another

chance at them that night. Even Dan

and Lennox, too far distant to hear the

shots, heard "the howl very plainly,

and both of them rejoiced that he had

missed.



.The long night was almOst'done

when Whisperfoot even got sight of

further game. Once a flock of grouse

exploded with a. roar of wings from a

thicket; but they had been wakened

by the first whisper of dawn in the

‘wind, and he really had no chance at

them. Soon after this, the moon set.



The larger creatures of the, forest

are almost as helpless in absolute

darkness as human beings. It is very

well to talk of seeing‘ in the dark, but

from the nature of things, even verti-

cal pupils may only respond to light.

No owl or bat can see in absolute dark-

ness. Although the stars still burned,

and possibly a‘fine filament of light

had spread out from the east, the de-

scending moon left the forest much too

dark for Whisperfoot to hunt with any

advantage. It became increasingly

likely that he would have to retire to

his lair without any meal whatever.



But still he remained, hoping against

hope. After a futile fifteen minutes of





watching a trail, he heard a doe feed-l





ing on a hillside. Its footfall was not

so heavy as the sturdy tramp of a

buck, and besides, the bucks would be

higher on the ridges this time ofmorn-

ing.

toward it.



For the first fifty yards the hunt was

in his favor. He came up wind, and

the brush made a perfect cover. But

the doe unfortunately was standing a

full twenty yards farther, in an open

glade. For a long moment the tawny

creature stood motionless, hoping that

the prey would wander toward him.

But even in this darkness, he could tell

that she Was making a half-circle that

would miss, him by forty yards, a

course that would eventually. take her

down wind in almo'st the direction that

Whisperfoot had come.





Under ordinary circumstances Whis-‘





perfoot would not have made an at-

tack. A cougar can run swiftly, but a





have preferred to linger, a motionless

thing in the thickets, hoping some

other member of the deer herd to

which the doe must have belonged

would come intb his ambush. But the

hunt was late, and Whisperfoot was

very, very angry. Too many times

this night he had missed hiskill. . Be-

sides, the herd was certainly some-

important reasons a cougar might as

It is {usually the most unmitigated

against which he has missed his

stroke; and it is also quite fatal to

his dignity. Andwhoever doubts for

no dignity, and that it is not very'dear

Snarling, he hounded after the doc.





She was lost to sight at once in the

that deep down in his own well of in~

he really didn’t expect to overtake her.

He sprange a full fifteen feet back

terror of his life. It was not a doe

New Hebrides Islands. One night Mr.

Paton hid himself in a palm tree, While,

twenty feet below, the cannibals were

roasting a human victim. The victim

took the place of the missionary, who

was to have provided the repast, if he

had not escaped. Years later Mr.

Paton gives us a Sunday morning

scene‘on the same island. It is five

o’clock. The mists are still rising off





the tropic lowlands, when the bell in '





the little church steeple rings out. In

a few‘ minutes several hundred natives

gather in the church and for an hour





they make themselves happy with

Christian song and prayer; Then

breakfast. Again at eight they come,





for the Lord’s Supper and for Bible

study. In the afternoon there is a. tour

around the‘isl‘and to visit other vil-

lages. At night another‘service of

song, while the southern sun sinks out

of sight behind the glimmering sea.

,We need not wonder that; Christ spoke

so plainly. It is but reasonable that

such intense souls as the five Nez

Perce Indians, or the transformed na-

tives of the New Hebrides should rise

at the judgment against the‘ derelict

and the perverse, who Will not'so

much as consider the appeal of Him

who is the Way, the Truth, the Life.

former ruler lived, but he had vanish-

ed. After that, it was said that a tall

and stately old man wandered for a

long time over Siberia and at last met

his death in the Ural Mountains. Tol-

stoy says, “What a great moment that

end must have been! What a noble

liberation of the soul!” ~



But how is Christ greater than Sol-

omon? How is He greater than all the

wise and mighty of the passing ages?

First, because He is sinless. He never

repents. He never shows by word, deed,

intimation, that he has the slightest

consciousness of sin. He has nothing

to regret. Of what human can such a

thing be said? The noblest souls are

often those who repent the most. ,‘But

it is not so with Christ. He has noth-

ing to repent of. Next, look at the

pretensions of Christ. He said, “I and

the Father are one,” “No one cometh

unto the Father but me.” “I am the

way, the truth and the life.” “Before

Abraham was, I am.” “I have power

to lay down my life, and I have power

to take it again.” What man can you

imagine . uttering statements like

those? Such claims made by a man

would, be preposterous, blasphemous,

ludicrous in their insane egotism. But

they come perfectly naturally from .the

lips of Christ. And the fact that men

went out and gave their lives for the

proposition that they knew Christ had

risen from the dead, was another link

in the evidence that Christ was more

than mortal. “A greater than Solomon

is here," Because he had qualities as

far beyond the power of Solomon, as

the fixed stars are from the earth.





ANY readers of the Michigan



Farmer have seen the following

happen: A saw mill is set up in a for-

est. Almost over night a village

springs up around the mill. There are

boarding houses for the men, and

rough cottages. A spur of the railroad

is laid, to take care of the logs and

lumber. The big circular saws eat up

the trees as children eat up candy, and

cry for more. The sidetr‘acks are full

of loaded cars, the weekly pay-roll is

heavy, the jail is full of drunks every

Saturday night, and prosperity is said

to be high. Then something happens.

The timber is almost gone. The saws

and the teams have'done their work

too well. Gone the oaks that have

stood for a‘ hundred years. Gone the

graceful maples. Gone the whispering

hemlocks. Only stunted birches are

left here. and there, in clumps, with an

occasional cedar swamp. The night

shift is taken off. The men begin leav-

ing town. Then the ten-hour shift is

reduced to eight. Then the mill shuts

down forever. Unless some other in-

dustry comes in, that village is left

high and dry on the shores of commer-

"I Wonder How She’ll Start”





T’S bitter cold. The snow



crunches crisp at every step.



Everything seems frozen into

one solid piece—especially the

tractor, which has been idle for

hours—or even days.





“Turning her Over” may be

next to impossible, unless you are

using the proper grade of oil.





TEXACO TRACTOL is manufac-

tured in three grades to meet the

climatic and mechanical conditions

for all tractor engines, whether

using kerosene or gasoline for fuel.

It is refined especially for tractor

engines, and its use minimizes

crank - case dilution. It burns

clean without excessive carbon de-

posits. It is not automobile oil,

for tractors operate under ex-

tremes of temperature and pres-

sure too severe for Auto Oil.





All operating conditions have

been considered in making up the

TEXACO Chart, which should be

consulted and recommendations

followed to secure best results.





TEXACO TRACTOL comes in 33

and 55 gallon steel drums, wooden

barrels, and half barrels, and five

gallon sealed cans.





Ask your TEXACO dealer what

grade of TEXACO TRACTOL your

tractor needs. He’ll know. Then

try it. You’ll see a difference

right away—and later when you

overhaul your tractor. -

HE Michigan Agricultural Col-



lege has engaged M15. Louise



Campbell, of Iowa, as leader of

the home demonstration agents. Those

Michigan women who attended the

1919 Farmers’ Week, will remember

Mrs. Campbell as the unusually enter-

taining, interesting and “peppy” speak-

er who took her hearers- through the

rounds of: house-keeping in such 3.

“Let’s- all- pitch in” way she made even

Spl mg house- cleaning sound like some

sort of joy-fest.



Mrs. Campbell has been assistant

leader in Iowa for nine years, working

with Miss Neale S. Knowles, who is

well known in Michigan. She is a grad-

uate of the North Dakota Agricultural

College, has taught domestic science,

traveled with Miss Anna Barrows, of

Columbia, to secure her extension

training; took special training“ under

Prof. E. S. Keane, of North Dakota, in

household engineering and physics,

and has done special 'WOl‘k along so-

cial lines with A. G. Arvold, of Little

Country Theater fame.





Academically Mrs. Campbell is well

qualified for her position. But best of





the women with whom she has come

to work. Born and raised on the prai-

ries of North Dakota, she knows all





crop failures, of being one hundred

miles from the doctor when the stork

arrives; of having the line break on a

muddy wash day; the bread turn sour

on bake day, and the threshers arrive

the day she’s all set to entertain the

“Ladies’ Aid.” The problems of the

farm women have been hers; so, she

knows them, not because she’s read

about them in a Mary Wilkin’s Free-

man stmy, but because she’s gone

through them. -



With the aid of the home demonstra-

tion agents, of whom there are twelve,

and the three specialists, Mrs. Camp-

'bell hopes to bring the Michigan Agri-

cultural College,into the lives of all

farm women, who need it. The college

is for everyone in the state, the wom—





settled section, as Twell as the more

prosperous one on a market garden

farm just out of a big city. A letter

or a post card sent to Mrs. Campbell,

at East Lansing, with a reduest for

advice or help on any home-making

problem, is all you need to bring to

you all the experience and skill of a.

corps of trained Workers. ‘



The extension workers are planning

a comprehensive program for’the new

year. Through the home agents and





homes a more ‘extended knowledge of

scientific feeding, proper dress for

working women,.business women, and

high school girls, and to bring to girls

especially a thorough knowledge of the

value of a. dollar. .



“We waiit to make better homes and

a. better community,” Mrs. Campbell

says. “Too many'wOmen are sending

people to the hospital by way of a

badly planned'dietary. We want them

to know it is better to spend money

uses FOR OLD STOCKINGS.





 





HE other day a young house-

, keeper asked me what” i do with

old stocking legs, when the fleet

are worn out and the legs still good.

I assured her that, even now, when

stockings are no longer assfirmly' wov-





on as of .old, they still have many uses. .





New feet can be bought with double

beats and toes and Sewed to the old

legs and. one has a. practically new

pair ofi‘stockings. The old feet are cut

off carefully and the new ones sewed

on with a neat seam ,which cannot hurt

the ankle.

avoid the poor thin feet which are

sometimes offered in the stores, for





they are not worth the laboi'. ‘7 Neither » '



are feet made from old stocking lcgs.

Old legs mended with new strong feet, ,, .

are not the prettiest or most fashmm‘ ”

way, Because one can see as soon as

they become soiled and wash them.

They should have a thin rubber run

into the wrist and also the arm end to

keep them in place.

‘ Again, a pair of old'white stocking



1 legs, or even black ones, can be made

into a pair of drawers for a child. The

hems should be ripped out and each

leg should be cut down a short and

equal length at one side and then be



‘ sewed neatly- together in the shape of

a pair of drawers. The crotch should

bevstrengthened with a square piece

for a gusset. Slit down at each side,

sew on the bands and make the button-

holes. The legs may be finished at the

bottom with .a hem or With a hem and

rubber drawstring, as one prefers.

Such a pair of drawers give both wear

and warmth. .



Or, one may take four good black

stocking legs, ripe out the hems, and

split down through the narrowed sides.

Then sew all together neatly with the

wide ends running the same way. Fin-

ish the narrow ends with a. placket

and a band as the top of. a woman’s

petticoat. To the lower part one may

sew a silk or sateen ruffle of a width





to make the petticoat long enough. ~





The result will be a skirt which may

be depended on for good service.



Old black stocking legs make very

good dusters. Two legs should be split

down the sides and then joined with

a wide and a narrow end running the

same way. White stocking legs, treat.-

ed in the same way, make excellent

dish and wiping cloths.



At last, when the old legs have worn

out two or three pairs of feet, they are

still capable of being cut into carpet

rags, woven andsewed together for

rugs. Or they may be wovenjn regu-

lar rag rug fashion. One can mix in

pretty colors with the black to make

them attractive. Blue is especially

pretty thus mixed in with the black.

A rug of this kind is very useful ‘and

good looking for a bedroom or bath-

AN IMPROVISED DOUBLE BOILER.





 





 





FTER some experimenting, I have



found a satisfactory substitute for

a double boiler to cook our cereal. I

icok a three—quart enameled basin, an

old porcelain-lined kettle of about the

same diameter, but with little or no

flare, and (a pie tin‘of the same diam-

eter. To use, I fill the kettle two-

thirds full of water and set to heat,

then turn the required amount of Wa-

ter into the basin and heat. When

boiling, I add salt and the cereal, stir-

ring until it boils up, then set the

basin into the kettle, covering with

the inverted pie tin with some sort of

weight on top. The kettle bail lifts the

edge cf the basin, giving the necessary

vent' for steam. No furtherattention

is required for an hour, when if the

water has been kept boiling, the cereal

will be ready to serve, though it may

be cooked longer. .



When steaming corn bread, pudding,

apple dumpling, etc., I ,use the same

basin, but a large iron pot instead of

the small kettle. I fill the pot half full

of water, place a grater or similar arti-

cle in the bottom, set in the basin, cov-

er it with the inverted pie tin, then

cover the pot with an inverted pan the

same diameter as the pot, with weight

on top—G. K. L.

. is spent in looking after the flock. A





good concrete floor may be laid on the





, , . earth if it is dry and firm, but it is,





safer to excavate and fill with crushed





>stone, which should be thoroughly





pounded before applying the concrete

mixture.





N a northern climate, the windows



should not be‘ large, and not more

than one to every eight feet in length

for a house fourteen feet wide. These

should be placed on the south side and

at proper distance from the floor to

allow the most sunshine possible to

fall upon the floor during the winter

days.

a. window placed so that it will come

in the center of each pen. One square

foot of window space for each fifteen

square feet of floor space -will be ade~





, quate for the laying-house.





In order to secure the most sun-





. shine on the floor the windows should





be placed so that the greatest length

is vertical. Then if the bottom of the

window is from‘eighteen inches to

twenty-four inches from the floor, the

sunshine will reach practically every

part of the floor at some time during

the day. While it is difficult to get too

much light and sunshine too many

windows radiate 1017 much heat. If

warm houses are desired too much

glass must be avoided.



During the summer, spring and fall

months the open windows will give

sufficient ventilation, but during-the

winter some means of changing the

air in the building must be provided

without letting the cold air fall directly

on the fowls. The great trouble with

most systems of ventilation is the fact





.. that they give too much fresh air d'ur-.





ring the cold weather and permit the

house to become damp and stuffy dur-

ing warmer spells. Any system of ven-

tilation adapted to the farm poultry

house must be simple and easily con-

trolled. As a rule, ventilators are not





needed in extremely cold weather, but'





during the rainy, thawing weather

some ventilation is needed to prevent

dampness from gathering. It is neces-





‘ sary to use judgment in regulating any





system of ventilation to meet the re-

quirements of the flock.





The open air or muslin frame that





fits into the window opening is in.





vogue on many poultry farms, and de.

serves popularity. When it is closed

for the night it takes care of the you‘-

tilation. It has been used with suc-

cess in the coldest climates, and the

hens have seemed to thrive better

than when confined in warm, stuffy

houses, but in a cold climate they can-

not 'be used with success to replace

the ordinary windows in laying hous-

es. While cold, pure air is invigorat-

ing for breeding stock, a low tempera

ture is not desirable for heavy layers.



in putting up perches and dropping

boards it is well to plan the height of

the-perches so that there will be ample

space under the dropping boards for





'the birds to walk about‘ and to facili-





tate work in removing litter from the

floor. Three and one-half- feet is a

good height for the perches. Poles, or

a. two-inch by three-inch sca’ntling with

the corners rounded, may be used. Un-

derneath the perches a smooth plat-

form should be placed to‘ catch the

droppings. This not only. makes it

possible to keep the floors dry and

clean, but the droppings are valuable

as a fertilizer and should not be mixed

with the litter. It is desirable to have

convenient walks so that the birds can

reach the perches without. any great

,It is always preferable to have





 





”Since floor space is a bigii





try house it is always bestto have the





nests attached to the side mus so,

,_ that the fowls may utilize the floor





under them. It is important to arrange

nests. so that they may be easily dis-





infected, for foul nests are a favorite

breeding place fer mites and summer ‘





lice. "Eine hay, clean straw or marsh

grass may/be used in the nests; the

main problem being tokeep the mate

rial clean so that the moist, newly-laid

eggs do not become soiled.





Dust boxes will aid in keeping the ‘





fowls reasonably free from body lice

during the winter months. Fine road

dust has no superior for this purpose,

although dry loam soil may be used

when. dust is not available. If space

will permit it is best to have a. special

room for the dust boxes and arranged

so that the sunshine can reach it for

several hourswduring the day. Dust

boxes save a lot of disagreeable work

in applying 'insect powder through the

fowl’s feathers and serve as good pur-

pose as insecticides in keeping down

body lice.



Modern drinking fountains have

done a great deal to simplify the prob-

lem of supplying the flock with clean

and pure water. Scratching over the

litter is sure to cause more or less dust

to fall into the drinking dishes, and as

fowls are fed ground feeds once a. day

or in hoppers, and carry some of this

food to the drinking fountains, they

are likely to become contaminated if

not properly protected. Under favor-

able conditions these patent drinking

fountains will partially eliminate such

dangers and prove of considerable val-

ue in preventing the spread of disease

among the flock. .





HE location of the poultry yards,



area of range and other factors de-

pend so much upon the lay of the land,

size of fruit plantations and size of the

flock that it is difficult to give advice

that would apply to, individual cases.

As a general proposition it is better

to confine the flock within suitable en-

closures than to have them'running

about‘ the farm and buildings at all

seasons. The poultry-keeper who has

control of conditions has a great ad»

vantage because it is possible for him

to regulate conditions so that the flock

can receive proper care without giv-

ing up his home grounds and planting

his garden at the’ far end of his farm.

Even in growing ordinary field crops it

is often necessray to keep the flock

confined at times to prevent them dam-

aging newly planted crops.



Many farmers have practically and

economically solved the.yarding prob-

lem by fencing off the hOme grounds

and giving the flock free'range of the

orchard and fields. This method is ad-

vantageous from many points of view.

It prevents the hens from mussing up

the lawn, scratching up the kitchen

garden“ and roosting in' the barns, be-

sides they range over. a wider area.

and there is less tendency for the soil

about the house and, buildings to be-

come a breeding place for diseases.

The cost of constructing and maintain-

ing poultry fences is no small item,

and the plan to be preferred is the one

that Will furnish the. most range with

the least amount of fencing. A good

fine-mesh woven wire fence will not





only prevent the' poultry, from becom— ,





ing a nuisance about the home grounds

but it will serve the same purpbse in

turning other kinds of farm'vstock- In

this way the fencing problem will be

solved. at a minimum Wedst and the

OUR STRAWBERRY BED FOR 1920.





UR strawberry bed of the past

0 season’s growth received far less

' cultivation and care than it has

been our custom to give; this was not

so much because it was so planned, as

it was because prevailingweather con-

ditions and the labor problem worked

to that end. Midsummer was remarks





light showers. Now after one has stir-

red the surface soil of the berry field

several times in succession after those ._





tion develops to delay the stirring up-

on the supposition that another

sprinkle may follow in a day or two.

It was in this manner-that I was caught

napping; nor does it take long for a

midsummer sun and Wind to extract

the moisture contained in the surface

soil, leaving it dry and hard. Well,

to make the story short, the longer 1

delayed the less benefit it seemed like-

ly the subsequent cultivation would

give, and there being urgent need of

our labor elsewhere continued neglect '

oflthe. berry bed resulted. Not that

the small berry bed required much

time; neglect was mostly due to fail~

ure to get at it. It was thus matters

stood when late summer and early fall

rains began; and then, as showers

were so frequent as to maintain ample

soil moisture without the aid of the

earth mulch, and no weeds appearing,

no further cultivation was given. No

cultivation was given after about Aug-

ust 15, I think, while in previous sea-

sons it has been our practice to con-

tinue cultivation through September.

EN of my cows were paying well,

twenty wére scarcely, returning

the cost of their keep, and ten





its madeby the first ten. I did not

know this last year. If I had, you can

be sure that my herd would have num-

bered thirty - less cows during the

season ”



This is the statement of a dairy





. farmer who had just finished a careful





year’s record of his herd.



“I am selling these ‘boarder’ cows

and shall begin to rebuild my. herd

from the ten good ones. The records

show that I can make more from these

ten than I could from the entire pres-

ent herd of forty. And if I can build

up a‘ full.herd as good as the ten 1‘

am. keeping, my profits will be immeas-

urably increased.”



.This farmer’s experience should

teach us two lessons. The first is that

it pays to keep records on dairy cows.

Farmers often say they are too busy

and have not the time to weigh milk,

to test it for butter-fat, and to keep

feed records. But how much easier

such record-keeping was to this farm-

er, than the work of taking care of

thirty cows during another year. A

little time on record-keeping; the work

on thirty cows dispensed with, greater

profits from a fourth as much work;

and a start at refilling'the dairy barn

with profitable cows—the result of fif-

teen minutes a day for one year spent

on farm book-keeping. What farmer

can show as much profits for a similar

amount of time spent on anything

else?





The second lesson is that it is im-

possible to tell which .are good paying

and which are poor payingcows with-

out actually weighing the milk and

testing it for butter-fat.



Cows deceive farmers in three ways:



First, in nature a cow gives milk only

while her calf is growing to a suffi-

cient size to take care of itself. This

is a period of four or five months. In





4 nature, then, a cow gave milk for four





or five months and then went dry for

the remainder of the year. ‘On the

other hand, our high-producing cows

not only give a large flow of milk when

they first freshen but they keep up

this good flow for ten or eleven months.

This has resulted from careful breed-

ing and selection. We have bred cows

away from their natural tendency to

go dry for more than half of the year.

The chief difference, then, between a

low-producing and a high~producing

cow is the length of time they give a

large flow of milk. Both give a large

flow at the time of freshening, but the

better one establishes her superiority

by continuing to give a goodvfiow

throughout the remainder of the year.

A farmer . naturally remembers the

large flow but not the sustained pro-

duction. It is the old race between the

hare and the tortoise.



The second method of deceiving the

farmer is in the percentage of butter-

fat. Spme cows give milk with three

per cent of butter-fat or less, while

others give as much as six or six and

one- -half per cent. Assuming that one





' cow gives three per cent and another





gives four and one~half per cent, we

have half as much again of butter-fat

from the one c0w as from the other.

This difference in amount‘can be told

only by using the Babcock tester.



A third method by which a cow may

deceive her owner is in the margin of





‘ production over the cost of keep. Now _

let us assume for the purpose of films;

it takes two hundred.

pounds of butter-fat to pay for a cow? 8 ,





tration that





keep for one year. A cow, then,

barely paying for hérself. but not yield-1

ing any profit. But a cow giving two.





more were actually eating up the prof-V





 





hundred and fifty pounds will be yield-

ing fifty pounds profit, and one giving

three hundred pounds will be yielding

one hundred pounds of profit, or twice

as much.' It is, then, not the total

amount a cow gives but the margin,

she‘gives aboye the cost of keep which

determines her value. In the illustra-

tion just given the cow giving three





hundred pounds of butterefat is giving





a hundred pounds net, and is, there-

fore, twice as profitable as the one giv-

ing two hundred and fifty pounds—

and, therefore, is worth twice as much.





Cows, then, have at least three ways

of deceiving farmers as to their profit-

ableness; first, by the number of

months through which they keep up a

large flow of milk; second, by the per-

centage of butter-fat in the milk; and,

third, by the margin of the production

over the cost of maintenance. The

farmer, therefore, to know_ anything

about what his cows are bringing him,

must weigh their milk, must make but-

ter-fat tests at least once a month, and

must keep feed records.



Just a word more may be said about

the time it takes to keep records. In-

quiries have been made of many farm-

ers who are keeping records, and the

almost unanimous reply is that it does

not take more than ten minutes a day

on the average. It is often added that

it is the best paying ten minutes of

the day’s work. While, then, the time

required to keep records is small and

their value is great, there are several

points in regard to 1ec01d keeping on

dairy cows that me1it fu1ther discus-

sion.



To weigh milk conveniently, three

things are required: First, a. set of





milk scales should be purchased and"





hung in a handy place in the barn.

These scales are inexpensive and may

be purchased at a local hardware store

or through a mail order house. Second,

the milk pails should be made to weigh

the same. This can be done by adding

sufficient solder to the bottoms of the

lighter pails. And third, a milk record

sheet should be put up in a handy

place near the scales. Such record

blanks may be had by writing to the

Farm Management Division of the Ag-

ricultural College.



The Babcock test for butter-fat is a.

very simple test and only a little time

is required in learning to make it. It

has seemed to the writer that the

housewife could make the Babcock

tester a part of her kitchen outfit, and

that she could do the work of handling

the acid and other material used in

testing in a much better way than can

the man, as this kind of work lies with-

in her field of expeiience. It is about

as difficult for her to learn to handle

the Babcock tester-as it is to learn to

make a ’cake from a new recipe. rllhe

husband should take the sample and

turn the tester, and let her handle the

acids and the utensils.

inexpensive and is a very durable piece

of apparatus. '



Considering the impossibility of judg-

ing a cow’s production without a. rec-

ord of her performanCe, and because





of the ease with which records may be _ '





kept ,as compared with the labor of

milking unprofitable cows, it does not

seem that any dairy farmer can afford

to get along without the help of year-

around records.

V ' How much fertilizer should I use per





acre for corn, one foot .apart in rows

three and a half feet wide? I have a

field in rye and want to plow the rye

under and drill in corn. ,1 have -no

Stable manure and can use only fer-

tilizer. What is‘the best way to seed

alsike clover and timothy mixed, next

spring on winter grains- Will timothy

and winter vetéh seeds bought now be

good for next fall seeding? What is

the best way to sow Hungarian grass

for seed ,andfor hay? What is a good

soiling system for eight cows, as I

have only limitedpasture? How much

corn ‘should be drilled per acre if it is





drilled with grain drill for stover only, ,





not for grains, and how much fertilizer

to use for best results.

Wayne Co. A. T.

If the land is in fairly good condi-

tion you will help your corn very ma-





terially by using one hundred to one ‘





hundred and fifty pounds of fertilizer

per acre, drilled in with the corn, but

if the land needs stable manure and

is lacking in fertility you can well af~

ford to use a larger amount of fertiliz-

er. A good way would be to set the

drill to sow three hundred or three

hundred and fifty pounds per acre. Let

it be distributed by all the hose of the

drill. This will not only distribute the

fertilizer in the drill with corn, but

also between the rows and is a splen-

did way of applying the fertilizer; You

need not be afraid but What the corn

will'use the fertilizer between the

rows.

Time to Sow Clover.





If the land is sandy or gravelly the .





best plan is to wait until you can har-

row the land, then sow clover and tim-

othy and then harrow wheat or rye

to cover the seed, for harrowing will

do the wheat or rye good and not harm

it. But if your land is clay then it

would be a more reliable way to sow





the grass seed early before the ground





is thawed out, then the freezing and

thawing of the land will cover the seed.



Hungarian grass should be sown

on a finely prepared seed bed along in

June, or sometimes you can even sow

it later. One-half bushel per acre is

about the right amount. This will give

a fine quality of hay, if you cut it be-

fore it gets ripe. For hay it should be

out before the seed forms. If you want

to harvest seed then allow it to ripen,

but the straw is not anywhere near

as good a feed as to have it cut earlier

and made into hay.



Soillng Crop for Cows.



About the earliest crop that can be

used for soiling purposes is winter rye.

You can cut some of your regular field

and use this and when rye gets too

mature harvest rest for grain. By this

lime the clever will be ready and you

can work this in the same way, out the

balance of the field for hay when it

gets too far along for soiling. You can

sow peas and oats early in the spring





_, and that will be ready to cut about the





time your clover is gone and by that





' time early sweet corn will be sufficient-





ly advanced so that it will make good

feed and for the balanCe of the season

you can have a. succession of early and

late corn.

Amount of Seed for Soiling Corn.

When planting corn for soiling pur-





poses you can use from one-half to one ,





bushel of seed. This will be so thick

that corn will not grow so coarse and

will be better for soiling purposes, if

you have more than you need for soil-

ing the balance can be harvested and

fed in the 'winter. C. C. L.

How Much Milk Will it

That’s what Counts in buying your feed.

Not how much it costs but how much milk it produces.

How much profit it puts in the bank.





'You will find that the extra milk you get from Larro pays

not only the extra first cost, but makes you a nice profit

besides. You can afford to pay three or four cents more

to feed a cow when you get a quart or two more milk.





Remember, that. no matter how much milk your cows

are now giving, you are assured that with Larro they

must give more——or you get your money back.





Write for the names of successful dairymen in your

neighborhood who use Larro year after year for just

one reason—because it makes more money for them.

"W ,





 





‘,1'ece.ipts: .. .





If the farm products storage houses A





throughout the country were generally

operating under the warehouse act sys-

tem, much of the present inability of

farmers to secure extensiOn of credit

or larger credit would undoubtedly

have been averted.





ONE of the greatest benefits of the

‘ warehouse act, according to Mr.

Holman, is its standardization re-

quirements. It is better than state

warehOuse laws, as they vary in differ-

ent states, causing much confusion.

North Carolina has the best state

warehouse system. Its warehouses are

operating under state bonds and

Hcenses, and are relicensed under the

federal law.



It is the belief of government ex-

perts who have givenvmuch study and

time to the development of the bonded

warehouse system that it should be

given more attention and publicity by

the agricultural press and the farm

organizations. It is evidently a move-

mentin the right direction, which may

be the beginning of a great nation-

wide system Of bonded warehouses for

the storage of farm products, and the

basis for a safe, efficient system of

credits for producers.



Representatives of the American

Farm Bureau Federation appeared be-

fore the senate committees on agricul—

ture and banking in a joint hearing

and presented their plans for relieving

the present marketing situation and

providing for the necessary financing

of the producers.



President J. R. Howard, Of the fed-

eration, called the senators’ attention

to the effects of the recent increase in

railway freight rates upon the farm-

ers. Farmers, he said, get the world

expenses, the price in Liverpool minus

One to twenty-five cents a bushel is

year-old mane has considerable dis-

charge from one nostril and itphas an

offensive odor. Whatever it is, it has

been going on for twelve months. W.

L. E, Fowler, Mich—Doubtless you

will find the fourth grinder tooth “dis-

eased and causing the discharge. Have

your veterinarian extract tooth and a

recovery should follow.





Rheumatism.~——My Jersey cow shows

signs of rheumatism, has been stiff

for some time, lays down most'of the

time, eats well, but has fallen off in

milk yield. D. R. K., Rapid City, Mich.

—Keep her dry and in a warm stable.

Give her two drams of. salicylate of

soda in feed two or three times a day.

Doubtless she suffers from muscular

rheumatism. Hand-rubbing the affect-

ed muscles will have a good effect.





Acute Indigestion.—~A valuable ram

has taken sick. After' feeding in corn

stubble field one day, showed slightly

inflated abdomen and appeared to be

in considerable pain. His fore legs

seemed. to be partially paralyzed and

were very sensitive to touch at the

ankles. I gave him two ounces of cp-

som salts, also an enema, after three

days another dose of Glauber’s salt.

H-e slowly recovered. For the past

four weeks has been roughing it with

ninety—eight ewes. What ailed him?

E. J. M.. Wayne county—He suffered

from an attack Of acute indigestion. If

you have another case, give a tea-

spoonful of aromatic spirits of ammo-

nia in a cup of cold water every hour

until bloat goes down.





Sore Shoulder.——l)uring the early

part of last spring I bought a horse

that had been troubled with sore shoul-

ders; since then he has also troubled

me some. His shoulders do not seem

to pain him, but. they are raw. C. E.

B., Rose City, Mich—Apply equal parts

calomel and boric acid to sores twice

a day. Does his collar fit properly?



Punctured Deg—«A fork prong ran

lthrough leg of young mare some two

lmonths ago: wound healed. but it oc-

casionally opens, discharges pus and

proud flesh fills wound. The opening

is above ankle joint. H. J. R., Holly,

Mich.»—Occasionally swab out wound





part iodoform and five parts water.





Wart on Neck—l have a mare with

a wart on neck and would like to know

how to take it off. J. U., Imlay City,

Mich—Surgical removal is the most

satisfactory method of treatment, but

if you will apply vinegar or castor Oil

three times a week it will take it Off.



Horse Gets Cast in Stall.—~I have a

horse that rolls in stall every night;

sometimes he gets fast and is unable

to get up until we assist him. This is

a habit of four years’ standing. How

can it be prevented? W. 'W.. Melvin,

Mich—Discontinue keeping him in sin-

gle stall. If kept in box stall he will

cause you no trouble.



Cows Fail to Come in Heat.—-I have

five cowswhich fail to come in heat.

Some of them are young, others Old.

A. N., Montague. Michs—VVhen COWS

fail to come in heat, they should be

examined by either a veterinarian or

skillful dairyman who has knowledge

of disease and the causes Of barren-

ness. Gentle massaging of the ovaries

has a tendency to stimulate the organs

into action. Besides, a cystic condition

of the ovaries may be present; if so,

the cysts should be crushed, then the

animal will perhaps breed. Feeding

liberally of grain, keeping the animal

warm, giving each cow 30 grains of

ground nux vomica and 60 grains of

ground capsicum at a dose in feed two

or three times a day will have some"

effect in bringing on heat.



Caked Udder;—I would like to know

the cause Of caked udder. Have a cow

due to freshen in three or four weeks

troubled with it. M. R., Orion, Mich—-

Exposure to wet and cold. lack of bed-

ding, uneven stable floor, one cow

hooking another, colts kicking the ud-

der, sudden increase Of grain ration,

lack of exercise, rough milking, drying

tOo quickly, and constipation. These

are all common exciting causes of con-

gestion of udder, mammitis, garge

(caked udder) ,' besides many other ex-

citing causes could be mentioned. How-

WHEAT





During the past holiday week when

business usually is very dull there has

been a very brisk export demand for

wheat. The milling demand which has

been dull for months also showed ma-

terial improvement. During the past

week, expressions of a favorable out-

look into the new year have been nu-

merous, but it is too much to expect

that all the clouds will disappear from

the business sky at once. The official

estimate on exports of wheat for the

first five months of the crop year show

ed a total of 172,000,000 bushels wheat

and flour cleared and the aggregate

for the first six months will probably

be around 200,000,000 bushels. Last

year five months’ exports were 103,-

000,000 bushels. Export clearances

daily are now exceeding the primary

receipts and a liberal reduction in the

visible supply is expected before long.





CORN ‘





The movement of new corn is ex-

panding but at a slower rate than the

huge crop and the need for money in

the country would indicate. Evidently

the low price is restricting sales and

there‘are signs that bankers finding

that market returns are so small com-

pared with the outstanding obligations

are not encouraging sales until prices

reach a higher level. However, the

demand is slow although ~exporters

continue to buy since our market is

slightly lower than that of Argentina.

The result is a deadlock which indi-

cates a continuance of prices fairly

close to the present basis for the





present.

OATS





Oat prices fluctuate in a narrow

range, the large visible supply check-

ing, any tendency on the part of the

market to advance sharply and the ex-

port demand which was constant dur-

ing the war has all but disappeared.





alsike $17.50;





' Prices are scratching the bottom and





are likely to continue to do so for 8er





era] weeks.

BARLEY

Barley prices have declined because

of a falling off in the melting and feed-

ing demand, and current values are

more nearly in line with those for oats





and corn.

RYE





,There .is a very brisk export demand





-for rye which is reflected in a finner





tone.

to expectation of an improvement in

the cash demand during January. Im-

ports of red clover seed since July 1





have been only_459,000 pounds com-.

pared with 4,097,000 pounds during the ,





‘same period last year. The Bureau of

markets' estimates that about 25» per

cent of the red clover seed crop, 35 to

40 per cent of the alsike clover seed

crop, 15 per cent of the sweet- clover

crop and 30 per cent of the alfalfa seed

crop have left the hands of growers.

‘ FEEDS



Feed markets are qiioted practiCally

unchanged from a week ago. Bran has

been relatively stronger than the oth-

er wheat feeds. Alfalfa meal contin~





'ues in small demand Bdue togthe ab-





sence of feed manufacturers from the

market. Latest quotations per ton

(100-lb bags) in carlots are: Chicago.

——Bran $31; standard middlings $30;

flour middlings $37; cottonseed meal,

41 per cent $38; cottonseed meal, 36

middlings $36@38; flour middlings $38,,





(21:40; coarse corn meal $34; cracked





corn $35@36; chop $34.





HAY





Hay markets are still supplied mere

heavily than consuming demand re-

quires and prices have been easy dur-

ing the past week. Reductions in

freight rates from Idaho points will in-

crease the receipts still further while

consuming sections will be handicap-

ped by high freights in force from dis-

tributing markets to the east. Prices

per ton in c‘arlots were as‘ follows: Buf-

falo.HNo. 1 timothy $297230; N0 2

$264928; straw, eat and wheat $116?

12; rye $12@14.





BEANS





Bean markets have adv anced slight-

ly duiing the past week under buying

by wholesalers to 1eplace depleted

stocks. Piices are quoted at $4@4. 15

with an aveiage of about $4.10 on the

choice hand— —picked stock f. o. b. Mich-

igan shipping points. Prices to grow-

ers are around $3.60. In view of the

small crop the prospect for an im-

provement in the price from this level





a further decline.





EGGS A-ND POULTRY





gle with a high price level. Although

stocks on hand are light, fairly open

weather favors winter production and

the high.price is attracting eggs from

the south. There is a disposition to

avoid buying beyond immediate re-

quirements because of the prospect of

much lower prices in a couple of

months and .there is a. tendency to

force storage stocks on. the market.

Poultry prices hold up well in view of

the fact that they are out of line with

other meats.





BUTTER





A light make of fresh butter, and

light receipts, coupled with good con-

sumptive buying, caused prices to re-

cover a cent per pound and stocks to

clean up on both fine grades and un-

derbutter at each of the four big cen-

tral markets. Storage butter prices,





while firm have not shared this ad-‘





vance. Nearly a million pounds of for-

eign butter arrived last week. New

York City impoxted 40,000 pounds of

Danish and 55,000 pounds of Holland,

while San Francisco received a big

shipment of 792,000 pounds from New

Zealand, some of which will soon find

its way east and maybe a factor in

lowering prices. Prices on 92 score

butter as quoted by the Bureau of Mar-

kets on December 31 are as follows:

Chicago 540; New York City 57c; Bos-

ton 550; Philadelphia 57%0. ‘





CHEESE



Continued quietness with light trad-

ing as is usual over the holidays fea-

tured the cheese markets. Country

markets report the lightest trading of

the year, and although much ‘better

buying inquiry! has developed yet buy—

ers in all markets operate cautiously

and are not absorbing, any cheese in

excess of immediate retail require-

ments. ‘Little encouragement has come

from export circles. English markets

especially are reported \weak. The fact

that cold storage holdings are 22,000,-

000-pounds under those of a year ago

has had a buoying effect on the fresh

. PRODUCE REVIEW FOR 1920.

,. .





 





HE close of the year 1920 finds

prices on a lower level on nearly all

commodities than'a year ago, the dif—

ference in prices ranging from 10 to

75 per cent. Likewise, the market. tone





is generally weak, with indications of I





a continuation of slow trading and

weakness on the mme impvrtant com-

modities,inc1u\iing potatoes, onions,

cabbage, and apples. While heavier

crops have been an important factor

in the downward market trend, there

are also other factors playing import-

ant roles, but apparently there is none

greater than the fact that, prices in

general throughout the country are

moving sharply downward. This is at-

tested to by the fact that on commodi-

ties of which there is even a shorter

crop than a year ago values are lower.





This year has been an unusual one

for potatoes, which soared to the un~





heard of price of $9@11 per cwt. in '





June for both old and new stock, only

to break sharply through July and

August, followed by steady declines af-

ter the heavy movement of the late

Northern crop started in September.

G1 oweis Were at first decidedly bullish

and refused to sell for less than $2.25

per cwt., having in mind the high prin

es of the spring and summer and ap—

parently did not take into proper ac-

count the government’s report on the

size of the crop. However; operators

continued very pessimistic ”and refused

to buy, which finally brought the farm-





~ er to a realization of conditions which





he must face. The government’s esti-

mates increased from month to month

through the season and on December

1, placed the yield at approximately

432 000, 000 bushels against 358,000,000

bushels last year. Trading at the op-

ening of the new year was slow at

around $1. 50@1. 65 per cwt. for North-

ern stock. against $3. 30@3. 40 a. year

ago.



This year’s apple crop was estimat-

ed by the government at about 36, 000, -

000 bairels as compared with 26, 000,-

000 barrels last year. Prices have been

sagging all fall and winter and the

market closed from 15 to 40 per cent

lower than a. year ago. A few varieties

being scarce are bringing nearly as

much as last year, but the market as a.

whole has been weak, with Jonathans

closing at $7@8 per barrel against $8

@950 a year ago, Greenings $5.50 this

year and $9 last year. The decline on.

boxed stock has been less pronounced

on account of the shortage of the

northwestern crop. The British mar-

ket is in bad shape, almost shutting

on! export trade, on which operators





had been depending for an outlet for .





the surplus.



While the onion crop is larger than

last year, there does not appear to be

a. suflicient difference in yields, even

when other possible factors are taken

into consideration, to warrant the dif-

ference in price. Middlewestern yel-

lows closed this year at $1. 25 per cwt.

against $4. 75@5 last year. The mar-

ket was glutted for weeks during the





«spring and summer, with Texas and‘





California Bermudas and the market

has never full recovered fromtheoon-

dltion Caused y .this heavy influx of

early stock. ‘_-

HE Farm ureau/ Federation fav-

, ors ant'éxte‘nsion of credit to all

nations, according to'Mr. HoWard. It:





“has“ neverfadvocated direct loans from-





the United. States treasury to foreign

countries. The _federation’s plan pro-

vides for the ' ektension of credit, by

uSing such security ,as foreign coun-

tries might be able to give for the pur-

chase of farm products, such securities

to be deposited with the War Finance

Corporation and sold to American in-

vestors 'or debentures issued upon

them. The War Finance Corporation

would become a clearing-house be-

tWeen foreign nations and the United

States in the extension of foreign

credit and markets.



In regard to security from Germany,

Mr. Howard suggested that with the

consent of the reparatiOns commission,

the American credit could be made a

first lien on all the property and in->

come of that country.



Speaking of the proposed emergency





tariff, the speaker said, “We demand





the same protection for the farmers

that industry has.” As regards the

storage of farm crops, Mr. Howard

said the key on which the credit sys-

tem is to be worked out is the ware-

house certificate plan.





WOOL



Although holiday conditions have

been dominant in the wool markets

during the past week the price basis

appears to be growing gradually

stronger. The improvement is confin-

ed to the low grades but beginning

with the new year it is expected that

demand for fine wools will increase.

Retailers are gradually marking down

their prices and clearing their shelves

through post holiday sales and a larger

volume of replacement orders are ex-

pected during January. The fact that

so many of the mills are idle and that

production has been restricted for’sev-

eral months has, led repeatedly to pre-

dictions that scarcity might develop

in the quantity of goods available. Any

strength of this kind would be quickly

translated into the markets for raw

wool; otherwise the prospect is for a.

gradual increase in the volume of sales

of raw wool without much change in

the price basis. On December 1 wool

price showed a decline of about 60 per

cent from the high ‘point reached early

in 1920, but are still around 40 per

cent above the level of July, 1914. '

HE beginning of the New Year is a good time to think

‘ about future betterments. Later on,when your farm duties





command most of your attention, building operatiOns are apt

to be neglected, to the detriment of your property and welfare.





It is good judgment to know, well in advance of the Spring

building season, just what repairing and building will be neces-

sary to place your farm on the most efficient working basis.





it is also good judgment to include MULE-HIDE Roofing ‘





and Asphalt Shingles in your plans for better roofs.





“Not a Kick in a Million Feet”





is a record of service which MULE-HIDE has earned from

its long life, durability and weather-resisting qualities.





The MULE-HIDE dealer in your locality will gladly demonstrate





the superiority of MULE-HIDE Roofing and Shingles to your



satisfaction. If you know of no MULE-HIDE dealer nearby.

Price Readj ustments *

and Agriculture





Farmers today are sharing the -national burden





T is inevitable that present and future price

readjustments should be felt by farmers as

well as by all other industries. Yet men

familiar with rural conditions know that de—

creases in income will bring many farmers

dangerously close to failure. h/Ieans must be

found to increase the farmer’s earning power.



Greater production is one means to greater

earnings. The ever—growing use of machinery

shows that this fact is receiving careful thought.

However, much can yet be done to lower

operating costs. Particularly where machinery

is used, operating costs very often eat heavily

into profits. . .



In this connection, lubrication is the most

important and often the most neglected factor.

The way in which you lubricate your machinery

is an important factor on whether it will have

a long or short life; whet'ier your repair bills

will be large or small; whether your fuel ex-

pense will be high or low;

and most important of all,

whether your work will be

interrupted by frequent

breakdowns.



Prominentengineersagree

that over 50% of all repairs

on tractors, trucks and auto-





 





   

 





mobiles are due to incorrect lubrication. Thou-

sands of public and private tests made by the

government, agricultural colleges and manu-

facturers have shown that incorrect lubrication

is often directly responsible for excessive fuel

consumption, breakdowns and loss of power.



The Vacuum Oil Company has for years

been recognized the world over as an authority

on scientific lubrication. Gargoyle lyfobiloils,

when used as specified in our Chart of Rec—

ommendations, have in many tests, shown a sav-

ing of oil of from 50% to 70%, and a fuel econ-

omy from 17% to 25%. Gargoyle Mobiloils

enable you to get more power from your engine.



The Chart of Recommendations (shown in

part on this page) Specifies exactly what grade





of Gargoyle Mobiloils will give you best results





from your automobile, truck or tractor.

* >l‘~ *

Gargoyle hIQbiloils are put up

lon sealed cans, in 15-, 30-

and SS-gallon steel drums,

and in w00d Half-barrels and

barrels.



Write for “Correct Lubri-

cation," a booklet containing

complete automobile and tractor

charts and other valuable data.





A - grade ' for each type of motor





a C O . I I

in buying Gargoyle Mobrloxls from your dealer, it is safest to purchase

in original packages. Look for the red Gargoyle on the container.
