ley, rye, oats and other cereals of the



country placed together they would

still. be smaller than the area occupied by

forests. And of this vast area farmers ow:

more than do all of the lumbermen and pri

vate holders together. Here is 'an interest

therefore, of the greatest moment to thI

tiller of the soil, yet to which comparatively

little consideration has been given.



Aside from the income resulting from the

sale of timber, the area devoted to the farm

woodlot makes a substantial contribution to

the success of the farm. It.

provides fuel, fence. posts,

materials for construction

and repair, products of the

sugar- bush, and protection

to crops, stock .and buildings

against weather extremes.

The forest holds back flood

waters, improves and builds

up the soil and adds greatly

to the attractiveness of rur-

al scenery. The total value

of the products taken from

farm woodlands of the coun-

try during 1919 is estimated

at nearly a half billion dol-

lars.

erator’s income is generally understood and

practiced, the farmer will see to it that land

unsuited fOr cultivated crops will be devoted

to the growing of timber. Through the pro-

duction of a greater abundance of trees of

superior quality by protecting them from

fire, thinning where too crowded and plant-

ing Where too thin, the farmer's income will

be enhanced. The farm management prob-

lem will be partly solved in that he will be

better able to employ his men and teams

during the cold months. The attempt to

combine stock raising and forestry will be





abandoned by the thoughtful farmer, Who

will rather strive to keep the floor of his

woodlot free from grass through encouraging

the growth of a dense forest roof. He will

come to realize that the quantity of prod—

ucts taken from this department of the farm

will be doubled and tripled if he, gives it the

same consideration accorded other crops.

Perhaps no state in the Union offers more

promising opportunities for the adoption of

modern woodlot practices than does Michi-

gan. The growth of her unsurpassed virgin

forests proves the adaptability of her soils

and climate. The wide va-

riety of these soils provides

for the production of wood

to meet every human need.

Here may be found exten-

sive areas not well suited to

the culture of other crops,

that may well be devoted to

forestry work. The best

markets in the world are

available and transportation

lines and woodworking fac-

tories were built for mar-

keting this particular class

of products. Since general

farming predominates, the

labor situation in rural dis-

tricts could be generally im-

proved by furnishing pro--

ductive employment through—

out the year. These and oth»

er inducements urge Michir

gan farmers to a more care

necessity. The country was

suddenly awakened during

the‘ war to its defenseless

position, should our wood

supply be exhausted. The.

increased demand occasion-

ed by the gradual growth of

peaceful pursuits as well as

by military needs and the

gradual reduction of avail-

able stocks have been re-

sponsible for the flight in

lumber quotations. That val-

ues will be maintained on a

correspondingly higher level

in years to come than dur-

questioned, owing to this re-

The tendency in the past

has been to develop wood-

temporary institutions. The

old system of importing Ia—

another district, has had a

blighting effect upon the

community life of sections

of the state. The education-

Agricultural College and the

University, and the commer-

the State Farm Bureau with

the sympathetic cooperation

of woodlot owners should

CURRENT COMMENT





HILE there is

a tendency on





Forward the part of many farm-

to the ers to become more

Farm or less discouraged at





the general decline in

the prices of farm products there is

another more pleasant phase of the

present farming situation here in Mich-

igan. Many men with moderate means

have become disgusted with the pres-

ent business and living conditions in

large cities and are taking advantage

of the present tendency on the part of

farmers to dispose of their land and

are investing their savings in farms.

All of which goes to show that farm-

ers as a class have suffered no greater

financial reverses during the past few

months than those engaged in other

lines of business. Many of these men

who are now investing their savings

in farm lands are going to find it far

more difficult to plant their feet safely

on the land than those who are thor-

oughly familiar with conditions in the

country but have drifted away from its

influence.



Young men who have been born and

reared among the fields and have a

full understanding of the pmb-lems of

farm life hold the key to success as

farmers. They possess knowledge that

books do not tell; the way of nature

has given them an instinct more valu-

able than the teachings of science;

the work on the farm and association

with rural people has. endowed them

with a sturdy character and seasoned

judgment so indispensable in farm af-

fairs. Men who have been away from

farm life for 'many years as well as

those who have never lived on a farm

havg a poor temperamental foundation

fora successful farm career.





Those who own good farms here in

Michigan do not begin to realize new

opportunities and development in ag-

riculture that await their efforts. The

increase and concentration of popula-

tion in cities that has taken place with-

in the past decade is creating condi-

tions which appeal strongly to conser-

vative farmers with limited means.

Considering the unequaled market ad-

vantages, the relatively low prices of

‘land; the established public institu-

tions which contribute to a broad, sat-

isfying country life, the, dependable





and regular harvests, Michigan offers:





 





agricultural , '~

ment as it stands, and at an expense

0! about one-half more it could be

made as productive as some of the





' western real estate selling for double





and treble that price. Many of these

old farms could be renewed and made

beautiful and profitable in less time

and at less expense than would be re-

quired in establishing a home worthy

of the name in any of our important

industrial centers. And when a man

has a good home all paid for in the

country he. does not need to worry

about business depressions and the

laying off of labor in the cities. He is

always sure of an abundance of the

good things of life and somehow or

other the profits made during the good

years manage to more than make good

the losses of/the poor years. Country

life may have its discouraging features

for the women and children, but mar-

ried men owe their families a larger

consideration these days than can be

found in a. large city with but one

wage-earner to support the family.

Even young couples, with no children.

are finding life in industrial centers

far from what they had pictured it dur~

ing the period of labor scarcity and

high wages. And thousands of them

would return to the country if they had

a place to return to.

integrity of American citizenship to

successfully cope with any situation

which it is called upon to meet. And

coupled with that faith is an appar-

ently general optimism that the gen-

eral business depression incident to re-

adjustment will not be continued to

the point of disaster for any branch

of our citizenship.





The farmers of the country, who

were the first great class of its citi-

zens to feel the full burden of the

process of readjustment, are looking

into the future with the same desire

to forecast it correctly as those engag-

ed in other business enterprises and

rightly, we believe, with a promising

degree of optimism. There is no pos

sibility of 8. suddenly large increase in

the area devoted to the production of

foodstuffs such as occurred in previous

reconstruction periods, and our farm-

ers are today better financed and bet-

ter organized than ever before, and

consequently better equipped to meet

the emergency, and by a forward look-

ing but reasonably conservative policy

these conditions may be steadily im-

proved. And in the meantime the

basic industry of food production will

continue to be the safest and most sta-

ble business in which any citizen can

engage, even though it may not be the

most profitable.



As ever, the businessbf agriculture

will remain the country’s greatest bus-

but this method is not so satisfactory,

since the hand-plow can not be run in

so straight a line without. the aid of

the straight-edge. After the first line

is cut to a sufficient depth it can be

used as a guide for the horse marker,

if this tool is used.



After the field has been lined off in

one direction the cross-lines should be

made. Care should be taken to have

the cross-lines at right angles to those

first drawn, which is accomplished by

the use of a square. A square suitable

for the purpose can be made easily.

First nail the ends of two} boards to-

gether with a single nail. Measure a

distance of eight feet on the outer edge

of one board and six feet on the outer

edge of the other, then nail a third

board diagonally across the two, ad-

justing it until the two marks are ex-

actly ten feet apart on a stright line.

The boards then should be nailed to-

gether securely, forming the desired

square. If the first cross-line is drawn

with care it is easy to draw the re-

maining lines parallel.

Ice cutting is best conducted with

tramway; hitch one horse to it and

drag the blocks from the water on to

cult. Success in marking depends

largely on getting the first line straight,

which may" be done by placing a stake

at each end of the proposed line to

serve as a guide.



A straight-edge, consisting of an or-

dinary board about fourteen feet long,

is then aligned with the two stakes

and the cutting tool or hand-plow run

along its edge, after which the board

is pushed forward .and again aligned

with the two sakes. This is continued

until the entire distance between the

stakes has been covered. Another way

is to stretch a line between the stakes

and do the marking with a hand-plow,





A Good Ice Plow is a Necessary Part of the Equipment





but in any case it is important to have

all the cakes of the same size. In or

der to simplify the handling and pack

ing, many farmers, especially those

who harVest a comparatively small

quantity of ice, cut the cakes twenty-

two inches square, a size that is easily

handled with a limited amount of

equipment.



After the field has been marked off,

a. strip of ice, one block in width and

extending from the loading-way to the

main channel, is cut through and forc-

ed under the surface of the surround-

ing ice. This strip should be sawed

somewhat wedge-shaped, wider at. the

bottdm than at the top, which allows

it to be forced down under the field

with ease. The operation is known as

“sinking the header” and it opens up

a small channel the width of the pro-

posed cakes. The channel is widened

by cutting another strip to enable the

long strips or floats of ice to be floated

from the main channel to the bank or

loading-way.



The strips of ice are then pushed

with an ice hook along the channel to

the bank, where'they are sawed or





 





nel, cut ‘at right angles to the main

channel, has the advantage of allowing

the operator to get closer to the cakes

and to handle them more easily. At

the end of the narrow channel there

should be an inclined track or loading-

way in which the cakes are drawn

either by hand or by a horse. This

track may load directly into the ice

house or to a platform from which the

cakes are loaded upon a wagon or

sleigh. '



The cakes should not be cut com-

pletely through, but should be grooved

two or three inches with the plow, and

after being floated up the channel

chopped through with a special tool

before being put on the loading-way.

This practice saves time and labor.





With‘regard to the cost of harvest«

ing ice, the location of the source of

supply is, of courSe, the deciding fac-

tor. When the pond, creek, river, lake

or other body of water is located near

the farm, the cost of gathering should

be very small——almost negligible—«the

cost increasing as the distance grows

greater. Investigations of the Depart-

ment of Agriculture show that ice has

been cut at a price as low as one cent

for a cake of two hundred and twenty

pounds, making the ice cost, exclusive

of hauling and packing, nine cents a

ton. That usual price, however, was

found to average about two cents a

cake, or eighteen cents per ton. To

find the total cost of storing ice, the

charge for hauling and packing must

be added; this brought. the average to

about a dollar a ton.



Loss of ice by melting depends part-

ly upon the manner of packing. The

cakes should be placed close together

so that. the mass will be as tight and

solid as possible, thus preventing the

cracks and openings that will allow air

to circulate. Perfectly cut rectangular

cakes can be closely packed, which put

home the great need of having the

cakes cut in regular size.



In beginning a layer of dry sawdust

about a foot. thick should be placed in

the bottom of the ice house, the depth

of the sawdust being a few inches less

came through the eflorts of Mr. F. E.

Commissioner. Members desiring to

take advantage of this privilege will

be supplied with identification certifi-

Due to the fact that logging opera.

tions on farms of the state are already

under way on the contract plan, a.

wood pool will not be organized until

next fall.





Future activities of the forestry de-

partment embrace a cruising service

to farm bureau members. This ser-

vice will give woodlot and timber own-

ers definite knowledge of the number

of board feet of marketable timber and

the cords of fuel on their various hold.

them simple and concise working plans

P his part, indications are that next



week's farmer round-up at M. A.

C. will be one of the most successful

from an attendance standpoint since

the establishment cf the event as an

annual custom several years ago.

Plans for housing thousands of visitors

expected are virtually complete and

most of the exhibits are in readiness.

The special fare rate for the week, it

has been ruled by railroad officials,

will be one and onehalt‘ the one-way

fare instead of one and one-third as

originally planned. This decision came

at the eleventh hour after the first ar-

rangement had once been cancelled al-

together. '





Besides the usual farm crops, horti-

cultural and poultry shows, a military

drill, including the artillery and caval-

ry equipment of the R. O. T. C., iwill

be given on the parade ground every‘

afternoon at 1:30, and an exhibit in

wool grades and grading will be staged

by the animal husbandry department

in cooperation with the Michigan

Farm Bureau will be features.





The “hort” show will exhibit apples

from twenty-two states, so that con-

noisseurs in this fruit may compare

products of other parts of the country

with the Michigan variety. An unusu-

ally strong potato exhibit will be an-

other part of the hort show, while the

usual fruits, flowers and cafeteria for

the serving of pies and light lunches

Will be in evidence. The hort Show

will be in the armory.



The other main place of interest, as

far as exhibits are concerned, will be

the live stock pavilion in the agricul-

tural building where the hays and

grains which won much attention and

favorable comment at the Chicago Ex-

position will be shown as a part of the

crops exhibit. Many of the individual

growers who took prizes at Chicago

will have entries in the annual com-

petitive exhibit of the Michigan Crop

At a meeting of the forestry com-

mittee of ten last week it was decide-<1

not to take any action this year on the

cooperative marketing of maple syrup.





There‘ seems to be a lack of. confidence '





and interest in the prospects of the

1921 yieldon the part of maple sugar

and syrup producers.



Mr. Charles Dean, of Vermontville.

and Mr. Hart, of Williamston, were

placed on a committee to perfect the

arrangements and program for the an-

nual meeting of syrup makers. Their

report will probably be announced

shortly.



At a meeting of representatives from

twenty-one dairy cooperative associa-

tions in Grand Rapids on January 20,

five men were elected as members of

the dairy marketing committee of fif-

Nashville; J. S. Kinney, of Montmor-

ency: J. C. Butler, of Portland; B. A.

McGill, of Big Rapids, and J. E. Jones,

of Grand Rapids. They will attend the

dairy marketing conference in Chicago

next month and then will work on the

committee of fifteen in the planning of

a state-wide dairy organization.





Ready for Farmers’ Week





Only growers who have taken blue rib-

bons at county or state fairs are eligi-

as many entries as they took first priz-

which won honors.



That the cooperative elevator move-

ment in Michigan is progressing suc-

cessfully, that the number of elevators





in the state exchange has grown from'





twenty-three to forty-five since Octo-

the next six months was revealed at a

meeting of one hundred and fifty rep-

resentatives of cooperative elevator as.

sociations at M. A. C. on January 19.

Delegates expressed entire confidence

in the cooperative idea in general and

the grain exchange in particular. Ac-

cording to a report submitted, elevat-

‘ hogs packed during 1920, as well

as the volume of pork products

exported and the yearly average price

were considerably above the level of

. pre—war times, yet these indicators of

‘ . the status of the industry show that

at the end of the year the pre-war

basis had been practically restored.



'At the beginning of 1921 nearly all

of the increased volume of production

brought about during the war, and

which meant an excess, during normal

times, has been discontinued. The sur-

plus from this increased production

has been consumed so that the' contin-

uance of extraordinary export sales ‘is

unnecessary for the maintenance of

reasonable prices. Most of the loss to

the producer, which was inevitable

when prices changed back to the old

basis, has been pocketed.



The year has been one severe disap-

pointment after another in the hog

market. Compared with costs of pro‘

duction, represented mostly by the

price of corn, hog prices were low dur-

ing the first six months of the year.

Supplies were lighter than in the same

period of 1919. Prices were about $2.50

to $3.00 lower than during the period

of government stabilized prices and

much below the high level reached in

the early summer of 1919. The hope

that an upward reaction would come

was deferred from week to week, the

supply of hogs being ‘suflicient to sat-

isfy the actual domestic and export de-

a mand, and gradually to pile up a great

I surplus of cured hog products. Domes-



tic consumption was hampered to



some extent by high prices at retail



and export requirements were restrict-



.fi ed by low rates of exchange and by



{l the impoverished finances of most Eu-

l ~ ropean countries.



i Although the price could in no wise



' be considered to Showr stabilization,



sudden changes of $1.00 per hundred



pounds or more being the rule, yet the



market did not get far up or down



until the sharp rise of September. This



advance was due to seasonal shortage

in the supply and to the oft alleged

desire of the larger packers to create

a higher value upon which to merchan-

dise the big stocks of .lard and meats

accumulated during preceding months.





Beginning with early October the to ,.





boggan slide started. After the pre-

ceding behavior of the market, a de-

cline to a $12 average was not surpris-

ing, but depressing economic condi-

tions everywhere sent the price down

an additional $3.00. On the low day

at Chicago the top stood at $9.15 and

the average at $8.97 compared with al

top of $18.25 and an average of $17.15

on September 20.



Feed costs declined during the last

half of the year. Corn began its pre-

cipitate descent early in July and for

a. few' weeks in August and September

the hog-corn price ratio showed a big

profit in fattening, although this was

largely if not entirely nullified by high

costs earlier in the year. Partly be-

cause of increased freight costs the

price of corn to the farmer has return-

ed farther toward pre-war levels than

have hog prices. Although hogs were

thirty-five to forty per cent cheaper at

the end of the year than at the begin-

ning, the lower price basis actually

showed a more profitable feeding ra-

tio. The fact that most of the corn

was produced at a loss is a separate

matter. ,



Export trade was a source of disap-

pointment most of the year. Early ex-

pectations were optimistic .on the score

that there was a huge deficit to be fill-

ed abroad. The results of the readjust-

ment from the export of 2,700,000,000

pounds of hog meats and lard in 1919,

to 2,600,000,000 pounds in 1919 down

to around 1,425,00,000 pounds ‘in 1920

could not be other than painful. The

totalis still about twenty per cent

above the pre-war average so that a.

slight further loss in demand from this.

source will not be surprising.



The rate of slaughter with reduced

export buying allowed hog products

especially lard, to pile up gradually;

NOTWITHSTAN DING the unfav-





dustry, the annual meeting of

the New York State Horticultural So-

ciety at Rochester, January 11-14, was

attended by a large number of repre-

. sentative fruit growers from all parts

of the state. If there is any lack of

faith in the future of apple growing in

the state, it was not in evidence at

this meeting. The fruit exhibit was

not as extensive as in former years.

The fine exhibit of the Geneva Experi~





chords, was worthy of special mention.

In his annual address President

Harry E. Wellman, of Kendall, said

that there had been circulated the

idea that no members in the employ of

the state or federal government should

serve on committees or be elected to

an executive office; that only growers

should have such responsibility. He

believed that this policy for a state

horticultural society was wrong. Much

of the success of the society is due to

the efforts of the men from Cornell

and Geneva.

Taking 1920 by itself President Well-

man said he believed the average

grower in New York state has not

paid his expense of growing the crop

if he honestly counted the cost. The

quantity of fruit produced in 1920

reached the peak of production for the

state, and the quality was above the

average. The total production of ap-

ples was nine and one-quarter million

barrels; and the peaches two and one-

quarter million bushels. There was a

tremendous waste of fruit due to the

labor situation and the car shortage.

It was suggested that there be formed

at once a combination of all the pro-

ducingrand shipping organizations for

the purpose of compelling the railroads

to furnish the required cars for all

fruits. The car situation is a handicap

to the grower and also affects the

price to the consumer.





RECENT results with fertilizers for



apples in New York state were

discussed by Prof. U. P. Hedrick, of

the Geneva Experiment Station. Of

these experiments one ran for twelve

years and was discontinued; another

has been running for twenty years, and

two have been carried on for eight

years, and a fifth one for seven years.





. The twenty-year experiment was in an





orchard on heavy clay loam. The trees

were Ben Davis top-worked with Rome

Beauty buds. The orchard was laid off

in twelve plats of five trees each. Two

plats were fertilized with stable ma.-

nure; two with acid phosphate; two

with acid phosphate and muriate of

potash; two with a complete fertilizer

of acid phosphate, muriate of potash,

dried blood and nitrate of soda. The

four remaining plots were checks. The

orchard was tilled each year and a non-

leguminous cover crop plowed under.

At the time the fertilizer had been ap-

plied for twenty consecutive years,





orable situation of the fruit in-.





ment Station made from its own or~‘





u‘it’ Men Meet '*“





that orchard conditions at Geneva

were not typical of the whole state. in

1911 started a series of tests in other

localities where fruits are very largely

grown, but where soils are different.

The results of theseexperlments show-

ed that fertilization has not produced





increased yields that would justify the.





necessary outlay for fertilizers and the

labor invested in their application.

There has been no improvement in

color or size of fruit and growth in-

creases of trees have been small. ’



The facts of all these experiments

leads the station to conclude that av-

erage orchards in New York state car-

ed for in the same way will not re-

spond to fertilizers. Orchardsi on poor

sandy, gravelly soil, in all sodded or-

chards and on soils too wet or too dry

for the proper sustenance of soil bac-

teria, these may" need fertilizers. Or-

chards that have not had generous

treatment in tillage and cover crop

may be benefited by fertilizers. But

even if the trees are not in the healthy

condition desired, it is not certain that

they need fertilizers. It is more likely

that the land needs drainage.



Professor S. W. Fletcher, of State

College, Pennsylvania, speaking of re.

cent developments in Pennsylvania on

ple growing, said that in fifteen years

Pennsylvania will be producing all the

apples required by the state markets.

Fully half of the trees in commercial

orchards are not in bearing. Adams

county has 3,000 acres bearing, and

4,000 acres not bearing. In 1900 there

were 2,400 acres of apple orchards.

There have been 16,000 acres planted

since that date. The keynote of Penn.

sylvania apple growing is the number

of local markets.





THE development of the central



packing associations in New York

state was the. subject of a talk by

Professor R. W. Rees, of the State Col-

lege of Agriculture. This movement

began in Niagara county and now in-

cludes several Lake Ontario counties.

There are now twenty~two local asso—

ciations organized in a central associa-

tion and it is planned to develop a

central sales agency. The central as-

sociation helps the locals to secure

trained packers and foremen, dis~

tributes market information and looks

after matters of transportation.



A note of warningon the subject of

cooperation was sounded by Sherman

J.’ Lowell, master of the National

Grange. “We are going mighty fast."

said Mr. Lowell. “If we are to accom-

plish anything along organization lines

in addition to joining we must add the

further essential of self-sacrifice and

hard work. I am impressed at this

time that we are under the immediate

necessity of making an Important de«

cision. Are the great organizations of

farmers to be commodity organizations

or are they to be general in their na-

ture? Are we separated by special in-.

What Limestone Will do for Your Land





Every farmer knows in a general way that wonderful results are being achieved by





treating soil with pulverized limestone.





 





Probably you have read of instances where a single application has doubled the hay or

alfalfa yield—you have heard your County Agent strongly urge the use of limestone—

you have seen your Agricultural College reports emphasizing the necessity of limestone

treatment particularly on Michigan soils, because so large a percentage is sour.





But there has been a reasonable doubt in your mind as

to what limestone would actually do on your own land.

Conditions on your farm are different. Of course, they are.





And now we have recognized this fact. So we have written

a book which will enable you to accurately analyze the

conditions as they actually exist on your farm and tell

definitely what limestone will do for you. '





We have not merely stated our ideas and opinions as to

what limestone will do, but have made this book a concise





‘ digest of the opinion of the greatest agricultural authori-





ties in the country on limestone, the results of tests that

have been carried out in various agricultural experimental

stations and the results obtained in actual use on farms

under every variety of condition.





A glance at a few of the chapter heads will give you an

idea of how thoroughly this subject is covered.

Causes of Soil Acidity

The most profitable thing a farmer cando is to learn the

need, the uses, and the results of limestone.





We honestly believe that this one subject more largely

Effects lli‘is yields and his profits than any other featureol

is wor .





We have now made it easy for you to master this-





subject thoroughly.





The book will require not over a half hour’s time to read

. and will give you an accurate knowledge of this vital sub-

ject, which will put you in position to obtain greater yields

and greater profits for the rest of your life.





It would be a great thing for Michigan agriculture if this

book was placed in the library of every Michigan farmer

and carefully read. We are doing our part to accomplish

this by oing to the expense ofpublishing and distributing

this boo absolutely free.





All we ask is that you do your share by sending for it

the plow that gives extra years of good service costs less in the long

Her fingers no longer clasped his.

Strength had come back to him, and

his fingers closed down until the blood

went out of: hers. but she was wholly

unconscious of the pain. In reality, she

was conscious of nothing except the

growing flame in his face. It held her

eyes, in passionate fascination. His

pupils were contracting to little bright

dots in the gray irises. The Jaw was

setting, as she had never seen it before.



.“Do you think, Snowbird, that you’d

even have to ask me?” he demanded.

“Don’t you think I understand? And

it won’t be in your defense—only my

own duty.”



“But he is so strong—and you are

so weakw”



“I won’t be so weak forever. I never

really cared much about living before.

I’ll try now, and you’ll see—oh, Snow-

bird, wait and trust me: I understand

everything. It’s my own fight—when

you kissed me, and he cried down that

word in anger and jealousy, it put the

whole thingson me. No one else can

make him answer; no one else has the

right. It’s my honor, no‘ one else’s,

that stands or falls.”



He lifted her hand to his lips and

kissed it again and again.



And for the firsttime he saw the

tears gathering in her dark eyes. “But

you fought here, didn't you, Dan ‘3" she

asked with painful slowness. “You

didn’t put up your arms—~or try to run

away? I 'didn’t come till he had you

done, so I didn’t see.” She looked at

him as if her whole joy of life hung

on his answer.



“Fought! I would have fought till I

died! But that isn’t enough, Snow-

bird. It isn’t enough just to fight, in

a case like this. A man’s got to win!

I would have died if you hadn’t come.

And that’s another debt that I have to

pay~~only that debt I owe to you.”



She nodded slowly. The lives of the

mountain men are not saved by their

women without incurring obligation.

She attempted no barren denials. She

made no effort to pretend he had not

incurred a tremendous debt when she

had come with her pistol. It was an

unavoidable fact. A life for a life is

the code of the mountains.



“Two things I must do, before I can

dare to die,” he told her soberly. "One

of them is to pay you; the other is to

pay Cranston for the thing he said.

Maybe the chance will never come for

the first of the two; only I’ll pray that

it will. Maybe it would be kinder to

you to pray that it wouldn't; yet I

pray that it will! Maybe I can pay

that debt only by being always ready,

always watching for a chance to save

you from any danger, always trying to

protect you.

to see the fight I made.





lost, and little else matters. And that '





debt to you can’t be paid until some-_

time I fight again—for you—and win.”

He gasped from his weakness, but

Went on bravely. "I'll never be able

to teel‘at peace, Snowbird. until I’m

tested in the tire before your eyes! I

want to show you the things Cranston

said of me are not true—that my cour-

age can stand the test.



“It wouldn’t be the same. perhaps,

with an eastern girl. Other things

matter in the valleys. But I see how

it is here; that there is only one stand-

ard for men and by that standard they

rise or fall. Things in the mountains

are down to the essentials.”



He paused and struggled for strength

to continue. “And I know what you

said to him,” he went on. “Half—un-

conscious as I was, I remember every

word. Each word just seems to burn

into me, Snowbird, and I'll make every

one of them good. You said I am a

better man that he, and sometime it

would be proved—and it’s the truth!

Maybe in a month, maybe in a year.

I'm not going to die from this malady

of mine now, SnowbirrL I’ve got too

much to live for—too many debts to

pay. In the end, I’ll prove your words

to him.”



His eyes grew earnest, and the hard

fire went out of them. "It’s almost as

if you were a queen, a real queen of

some great kingdom,” he told her,

tremulous with a. great awe that was

stealing over him, as a mist steals over

water. “And because I had kissed your

fingers, for ever and ever I was your

subject, living only to fight your fights

——maybe with a dream in the end to

kiss your fingers again. When you bent

and kissed me on that hillside—for

him to see—it was the same: that I

was sworn to you, and nothing matter-

ed in my life except the service and

love I could give to you. And it’s more

than you ever dream, Snowbird. It's

all yours. for your battles and your

happiness.”



The great pines were silent above

them, shadowed and dark. Perhaps

they were listening to an age-old story,

those vows of service and self-gained

worth by which the race has struggled

upward from the darkness.



“But I kissed you———once before,” she

reminded him. The voice was just a

whisper, hardly louder than the stir of

the leaves in the wind.



“But that kiss didn’t count.” he told

her. “It wasn’t at all the same. I lov-

ed you then, I think, but it didn’t mean

what it did today.” .



“And what—” she leaned toward





1! L [CREST-No SWIM]: H'orse Would Do Owenuise





him, her eyes full on his "does it mean He would have liked to sit with her,





now. 9"



“All that’s worth while in life, all

that matters when everything is said

that can be said, and all is done that

can be done. And it means, please

God, when the debts are paid, that I

may have such a kiss'again."



“Until then, I make oath that I won't

even ask it. or receive it if you should

give it. It goes too deep, dearest—and

it means too much."





This was their past. Not until the





debts were paid and her word made





good would those lips be his again.

There was no need for further words.

Both. of them knew. The soldier of

the queen must be tried with fire, be-

fore he may return to kiss her fingers.

The light burns clear in this. No in-

stances of degeneracy, no exceptions

brought to pass. by thwarted nature,

can affect the truth of this.



In the skies, the gray clouds were

gathering swiftly, as always in the

mountains. The “raindrops were falling

one and one, over the forest. The sum-

mer was done, and fall had come in

earnest.





CHAPTER VIII.



HE rains fell unceasingly for



seven days: not a downpour but



a constant drizzle that made the

distant ridges smoke. The parched

earth seemed to smack its lips and

little rivulets began to fall and tumble

over the beds of the dry streams. The

Rogue and the Umpqua flooded; and

the great steelhead began to ascend

their smaller tributaries. Whisperfoot

hunted with ease, [or the wet shrub-

bery did not crack and give him away.

The air was filled with the call of the

birds of passage.



All danger of forest fire was at once

removed, and Snowbird was no longer

needed as a lookout‘on old Bald Moun-

tain. She went to her own home, her

companion back to the valley; and

now that his sister had takenhis place

as housekeeer, Hill had gone to the

lower foothills with a. great part of

the live stock. Dan spent these rainy

days in toll on the hillsides, building

himself physically so ‘that he might

pay his debts.



It was no great pleasure, these rainy

days. He would have greatly liked to

have lingered in the square mountain

house, listening to the quiet murmur

of the rain on the roof and watching

Snowbird at her household tasks. She

could, as her father had said, make a.

biscuit. She could also roll up her

sleeves over trim, brown arms and

with entire good humor do a week’s

laundry for three hardworking men.





through the- long afternoons. as she

knitted beside the fireplace—towatch

the play of her graceful fingers and

perhaps, now and then, to touch her

hands when he held the skeins. But

none of these things transpired. He

drove himself from-daylight till dark.

developing his body for the tests that

were sure to come.





The first few days nearly killed him.

He over-exercised in the chill rain, and

one anxious night he developed all the

symptoms of pneumonia. Such a sick-

ness would have been" the one thing

needed to make the doctor’s prophecy

come true. But with Snowbird’s aid,

and numerous hot drinks, he fought

it off.



She had made him go to bed, and

no human memory could be so dull as

to forget the little, whispered message

that she gave him with his last spoon-

ful of medicine. She said she'd pray

for him, and she meant it too—literal.

entreating prayer that could not go un-

heard. She was a mountain girl, and

her beliefs were those of her ancestors

——simple and true and wholly without

affectation. But he hadn’t relaxed

thereafter. He knew the time had

come to make the test. Night after

night he would go to bed half-sick from

fatigue, but the mornings would find

him fresh. And after two weeks, he

knew he had passed the crisis and was

on the direct road to complete re-

oovery.



Sometimes he cut wood in the for“

est: first the felling of some tall pine,

then the trimming and hewing into

two-foot lengths. The blisters came on

his hands, broke and bled, but finally

hardened into callosities. He learned

the most eflective stroke to hurl a

shower of chips from beneath the

blade. His back and limbs haldened

from the handling of heavy wood—~and

the cough was practically gone.





Sometimes he mended fences and

did other manual labor about the

ranch; but not all his exercise was

taken out in work. He didn’t forget

his friends in the forest, creatures of

talon and paw and wing. He spent

long days roaming the ridges and fight-

ing through the buckbrush, and the

forest yielded up its secrets, one by

one. But he knew that no mortal span

of years was long enough to absorb

them all. Sometimes he shot ducks

over the marshes; and there was no

he saw them over the sights.





His frame filled out. His face he-





came swu'thy from constant exposure.

iHe gained in weight. A month glided

by, and he began to see'the first move-

ment of the largest forest creatures





down to the foothills. ‘ For not even

the animals, with the exception of the

hardy wolf pack. can survive ii unpro-

tected from the winter snow and cold

of the high levels. The first snow sift-

ed from the gray sky and quickly melt-

ed on the wet pine needles. And then

the migration of the deer began in ear-

nest. Before another week was done,

Whisperfool had cause to marvel





where they had all gone.





One cloudy afternoon in early No-

vember found Silas Lennox cutting





wood on the ridge behind his house.

It was still an open question with him

whether he and his daughter would at-





tempt to winter on the Divide. Dan of





course wanted to remain, yet there

were certain reasons, some very defi-

nite and others extremely vague, why

the prospect of the winter in the snow

fields did not appeal to the mountain—

eer. In the first place, all signs point-

ed to a hard season. Although the fall

had come late, the snows were exceed-

ingly early. The duck flight was com-

pleted two weeks before its usual time,

and the rodents had dug their burrows

unusually deep. Besides, too many

months of snow weigh heavily upon

the spirits. The wolf packs sing end-

lessly on the ridges,‘and many unpleas-

ant things may happen. On previous

years, some of the cabins on the ridges

below had human occupants; this win

tor the whole region, for nearly sev-

enty miles across the mountains to the

foothills, would be wholly deserted by

human beings. Even the ranger sta-

tion. twelve miles across a steep ridge,

would soon be empty. Of course a few

ranchers had homes a few miles be-

yond the river, but the wild cataracts

did not freeze in the coldest of sea.-

sons. and there were no bridges. Be-

sides, most of the more prosperous

(armors wintered in the valleys. Only

a i'ew more days would the road be

passable for his car; and no time must

be-lost in making his decision.



Once the snows came in reality,

there was nothing to do but stay. Sev-

(en‘y miles across the uncharted ridges

ion snowshoes is an undertaking for

which even a mountaineer has no fond-

Iness. It might be the wisest thing,

.laft'er all, to load Snowbird and Dan



ginto his car and drive down to the val-

ileys. The fall round-up would soon be



completed,-Bill would return for a few

days from the valleys with new equip-

ment to replace the broken lighting

system on the car, and they could

avoid the bitter cold and snow that

Lennox had known so long. Of course

he Would miss it somewhat. He had a

strong man’s love for the endless drifts,

the crackling dawns and the hushed,

winter forest wherein not even Woof

or Whisperfoot dares to go abroad. He

chopped at a: great log and wondered

what would suit him betterwthe com-

fort and safety of the valleys or the

rugged glory of the ridges.



But at that instant, the question of

whether or not he would winter on the

Divide was decided for him. And an

instant was all that was needed. For

the period of one breath he forgot to

be watchful—and a certain dread Spir-

it that abides much in the forest saw

its chance. Perhaps he had lived too

long in themountains and grown care-



. less of them: an attitude that is usu-

i ally punishable with death. He had

3 just felled a tree, and the trunk was



a; still attached to the stump by a stripe



of bark to which a. little of the wood

adhered. 1He struck a furious blow at

the old worn wall and how they cover up the old surfaces entirely.

The larger picture shows the result you can expect and the

“Beaver Quality” trademark is the symbol by which you can

be sure you are getting genuine Beaver Board.



The next time you are in town visit the Beaver Board dealer.

Let him show you the big flawless panels of Beaver Board—all

ready to use on your walls and ceilings. He will tell you all

about this “Do-it-yoursclf Way” to renew the old home or

build everlasting walls and ceilings in the new home. Ask about

Beavertone, a velvety flat wall paint especially made for Beaver

00D linen nowadays is almost as

precious as jewels, and every

scrap of it is worth saving. The

high price of linen makes an entire

new stock almost prohibitive to the or-

dinary housewife, and there is nothing

in sight to indicate lower prices for

some time to come.



The first point to be considered is

where and how you keep it. This may

sound far-fetched, but it has‘a lot to

do with the wearing qualities of linen

and also the health of the family. The

ideal linen store-place should be a. well-

ventilated cupboard in a warm, dry

position and in a good light. And yet

I have seen housekeepers tuck linen,

fresh from the ironing board and not

perfectly dry, away in a. dark, airless

drawer.



Recently I saw a linen closet that

was ideal. The shelves were just Wide

enough to admit one layer of linens,

and in order that the articles might

have proper air and always be per-

fectly dry, these shelves were made of





Centerpiece and small doilz'e: made '

from the [not part1 of a rworn tab/e-

clot/1.





lattice work, the Whole being white

enameled. A little ventilator at the





was covered with fine white muslin,

which, while it let in the air, kept out

the dust. Each shelf was labeled, and

on the door hung a linen book in which

was listed the entire household linen

stock, the date of its purchase and the

price. Linen gives better wear if used

uniformly. The clean linenrmay be

put at the bottom of the pile, and the

daily supplies taken out from the top.

In this way each article gets its turn

at wear and washing.



The life of linen may be prolonged

twenty-five per cent by laundering. It

is a. scientifically known fact that hard

water is ruinous to clothes, therefore

the water should be softened. Many

a laundress adds caustic soda'to the

already prepared soap solution when

washing, and this gives excessive alka-





' linity and ruins the strength, color and





Wearing qualities of the fabrics. Leav-

ing clothes overnight in a dirty soap

bath'also rots them, and insufficient

rinsingvmakes them yellow and leaves

soap which in time eats the linen.



Always before going to the wash,

linen should be carefully examined.

Small holes should be darned, for it let

go they are liable to catch on the

board, washing machine or wringer

and become very big ones. Stains, too,

should be removed. Tea and coffee





stains are most easily removed while





still, wet , Place. the table cloth ov Ha»

How About Your Linen?





By Addie Farrar





the spots. , If thisdoes not entirely re-

move the stain, rub on a little borax,

rub it in well, and try boiling. water

again. Some use salts of lemon. Fruit

stains are removed in the same, way.

For mildew spots rub the stains with

soap, sprinkle with chalk and bleach

in the sunshine. Buttermilk will also

work fairly well. Wet ink stains should

be washed immediately in milk. Put

a pinch of salts of lemon on-iron mould

stains and pour boiling water through

the spot. Be sure to rub the salts of

lemon in well and repeat until stain is

out. Paint on linen should be removed

with a mixture of ammonia, turpentine

and paraffin.



I have found that it is always best to

have all linen marked either by a large

monogram or a small embroidered in-

itial. It adds to the distinction and

beauty of all household linens to have

them individualized by your “trade-

mark.” It takes only a few minutes to

do the work, as on towels outline stitch

is pretty, and even on sheets you can





use outlining and a darning stitch to

fill in. The close embroidered initials,

while prettier, take more time.



Having looked after the storing, list-

ing, mending and washing of your lin-

en you may find that some of it seems

too badly worn to be useful. But don’t

throw it away without a second look.

Every scrap can be utilized. Sheets

and table cloths seem to wear out in

the middle faster than about the edges

and this is natural as they get more

wear in those parts. If the sheets are

thin in the middle and the sides are

good and strong, cut them through the

center and then join the outer or sel-

vage edges together making a seam

down the middle, and .hem the outer

edges.- If the center of the sheet is

too badly worn, parts ‘of it can be cut

off and the sheet made to fit a. three-

quarter or a. single bed. Oftentime,

an old sheet badly worn in places will

have enough good in it to make a. pil-

low slip or two, and when past all use

the ironing-board can claim the old

sheet for a. cover.



Worn pillow cases are most useful





. for protecting fancy waists and blouses

or children’s dresses from dust, when‘





they are keptshanging in closets. Cut

a hole in the middle of the end of the

case just “big enough to let the hook

of the hanger slip thrOugh. Place the

blouse on the hanger then slip the case

over and you have a splendid protector

without coSt or time.

into smaller cloths that maybe used

for lunch, tray or carving cloths, and

the smaller pieces into dailies. If the

center is badly worn, out large squares

from the corners of the cloth which is

apt to be good, and set together with

lace insertion which can be bought

cheap at sales, and if you wish, edge

with lace. Crochet insertion and lace

is pretty if you care to take the time.

You will have in this way a handsome

lunch cloth. Oftentimes, I out napkins

for everyday use from worn table

cloths. These I hem and they last a.

long time. Centerpieces, small dailies

and carving cloths all may come from

scraps. I made an entire breakfast set

from a fine old table cloth. After get-

ting out a lunch cloth from the four

corners and crossing with imitation

cluny lace, I-cut a centerpiece, several

plate doilies, and the smaller doilies

from the ends left and in odd moments

buttonholed the edges in blue mercer-

ized cotton. The clippings too worn

for use, I put into the medicine chest

for “First Aid.”



From one cloth I made a very hand-

some luncheon set by using bits of

fine old lace curtains to cambine with

it. I appliqued the bits of net, the de-

sign being fine and dainty, on the lin-

en, buttonholed around it and then cut

the linen from underneath. Bureau

scarfs may be made the sumo way,

and right here let me diverge long

enough to say that bits of fine old cur-

tains may be used to applique on chil‘

dren’s dresses, make yokes, and cuff

and collar sets. Of course, it goes

without saying, that only very fine cur-

tains are useful for this work.



Old bath towels may be out up into

wash cloths—the better parts being

used for this, and a. quickly~made cro-

cheted edge in color worked around

the four sides. The worn parts made?

good cleaning cloths and fine dish

cloths. Linen towels should be care-

fully darned and patched at each wash»

ing. It is a. good plan to keep one old

one on hand to patch the others with.

Worn out, the best parts may be con—

verted into little domes to put under

plants or the like, and several old ones,

stitched together to form a. big new.

towel will make a good cloth for dry-

ing glassware.



One thing more, remember it is no

economy to store linen for long periods

without using it. If Starched the starch

rots the fabric and gives it. a bad color

when left undisturbed for some time.

It is the “best linen” which is most

likely to suffer in this way and if you

seldom use it for “Company". then give

it an occasional turn en the family ta-

ble, so that it may go through the

wash and keep its. color. ' If you do not

use it often, be sure that you keep blue

paper about it.





WOMEN’S unremasrs AT THE

STATE GRANGE;





HE woman’s werk cbmmittee of



the Michigan State Gmngemade



a comprehensive " study of their



field of work and at the recent session



suggested a somewhat ambitious pro-v

gram for the year 3:921 ’- .



In national and international affairs





they angst! that Am
' , fifidother rural organizations. , There- l





public 01301“ . flail-inf the enforcement

' of the constitutional amendment. The

Shepherd-Towner bill providing for





public protection of maternity and in--





fancy was endorsed. These women

want the “-“Truth-inLFabric” law passed,

and favor a bill regulating and super-

vising distribution of food. The estab-

lishment of a smokingroom for women

lobbyists at the national capital was

looked uponlwith scorn.



As to affairs here in Michigan the

women are anxious that a new Home

Economics Building‘at M. A. C. be pro-

vided, and that Grange workers coop-

erate with home demonstration agents

and club leaders and with other agri‘

cultural organizations to improve the

home life and social conditions‘of our

farm folks. They urged the amend-

ment of the mothers’ pension law to

apply to any woman filling a mother’s

place in keeping a home together.



They protested against much of the

literature and many of the movie films

that are new flooding the country. A

plea was made for modesty and com-

fort in women’s dress. They urged that

homekeepers make a more careful

study of food values and nutrition.



An important part of women’s work

in the Grange was held to be the de

velopment of future leaders for this





spbnsibility for the Juvenile Grange is

largely a part of the women’s program.

Recomrhendatlons to Lecturers.



The hdme' economics committee rec-

ommended to lecturers that the follow-

ing be emphasized in their programs:

The erection of a Home Economics

Building at M. A. C., and enlarging the

extension work of the Home Econom-

ics Department. Under the subject of

nutrition infant feeding, foods for chil-

dren and adults, and hot lunches in

schools, .should be featured. Proper

dress for the high school girl, the bus-

iness woman and the housewife ought

to be included in the year’s program.

Household management may be class-

ified under household accounts, person-

al accounts, persOnal budget and home

conveniences. Since the women folks

usually look after the poultry on the

farm, the questions of raising, culling

and marketing should find a prominent

place in Grange discussions.



Other suggested topics are: Govern-

ment control of packing houses, the

Truth-in-Fabric bill, the Red Cross and

country visiting nurses, the Shepherd.

Towner bill mentioned above, the ad-

visability of the appointment of women

police for the protection of girls where

local conditions require, and the effects

of tobacco, especially cigarettes, upon

our young people.





Program for Farmers’ Week





' 0 better women’s program was;

ever offered to the home-makers

of Michigan than the one prepared for

‘Tarmers’ Week" at the M. A. C. next

week, January 31 to February 5.



Miss Ada. Blanchard has done a won-

derful piece of work in bringing the

facts that are worth while regarding

the choosing of material for clothing

for the home-maker. She has estab-

lished stations in Boston where women

can go and have expert advice regard-

ing the wearing quality of materials,

what dyes will not fade when being

laundered, and the remaking of gar-

ments. She comes to Michigan to give

us the value of Massachusetts’ expe-

rience.



Miss Sally. Lucas Jean has been for

a numberof years director of the

Child Health Organization of New

York City, and has done 'a work that

is nationally recognized in relieving

malnutrition among children. Since re-

cent surveys shows that in some plac-

es fifty per cent of the children in

well—to—do families are undernourished,

no woman in Michigan can afford to

miss Miss Jean’s message. _



Miss Alma Binzel is an expert in

child psychology and has done much

to aid parents in understanding the

best methods of developing the minds

of their children. She is recognized

as an authority in this country on the

subject.



Mrs. Dora Stockman is state lectur-

er in the State Grange and the first

woman member of the State Board of

agriculture- Her grasp of all the prob-

lems of the home is so thorough and

her solutions so constructive that no

mother or housewife should fail to

hear her.



Mrs. Alvord, president of the State

Federation of Women’s Clubs, is

known everywhere in Michigan Where

there is an organization of women, and

the message she will bring to us Farm-

ers’ Week will be vital and full of

interest.

LESS DONT’S.





LITTLE BOY seems determined to

break every bone in his body, and

I found that I was getting into the

habit of saying, “Don’t” to everything

he suggested, obsessed by the fear

that he might hurt himself. Finally

his father took me to task, saying that

I was either teaching the boy to do

things without consulting me—~on the

theory that I would say “No” anyhow

———Or else I was letting him grow up

unable to do anything and all the more

likely to sustain a serious injury when

he finally began to do big feats, with

out properly trained muscles.

Fortunately I heeded the warning,

and now at five years of age, Little

Boy climbs a short ladder, has a spe-

cial perch in the cherry tree, does

trick riding on his tricycle, steers his

Irish Mail and card down fairly steep

hills, walks the top of the porch rail,

and still comes to Mother when any

new adventure is to be undertaken,

firm in the belief that 'she won’t say

“Don’t” unless she can give himsome

really good reason for the admonition.

stretched across the opening will ena-

ble the hens to eat, but prevent wast-

ing of the mash. Open receptacles for

serving dry mash do not work well

according to our experience, as the

Ihens frequently scratch in them.





When it is snowing and blowing it

is much satisfaction to know that the

hens have hoppers of dry mash serv~

ing them cafeteria fashion, with the

balanced ration which is as near as

possible to ideal for. egg production.

Of course it is not exactly like the

spring ration on the range, but it does

help to keep hens thrifty and makes

them lay.



'We do not believe that a poultrymen

with good hens ever lost any money

'by supplying a dry mash, either home-

made or one of the commercial brands.

Many farmers who have never used

the mashes find that the hens pay for

them and then pay a profit. They find

that the hens with mash need less

hard grain and lay more eggs. After

giving a dry mash a fair trial they

find it is not wasted money and do not

try to keep hens over winter without

using it.



Electric lights have not only proven

a. help in obtaining winter eggs on

many farms, but the lights have been

a protection from prowlers. When the

laying-houses can be quickly lighted

from the house the chicken thief is

less anxious to make frequent trips.

Even the watchdog can do quicker and

more effective work if the lights are

turned on so he can pick a good place

to take hold.



If you have a surplus of pumpkins

in storage, feed them to the hens.

Pumpkins may soon spoil and the hens

will enjoy picking out the seeds and

eating the pulp to the rind. Cut them

in halves and the birds will' eat out

the insides and then the remaining

shells can be thrown out of the litter.

The pumpkin pulp helps to furnish

bulk to the Winter ration. The bulki-

ness is necessary in some of the poul-

try feed in order to keep the birds

healthy. That is one reason that green

food cannot be successfully supplied by

feeding tablets as a substitute.



GGS have reached record prices

this year and feed is down. It

means that many farm flocks are apt

to be enlarged. This "should bring poul-





ness and stimulate interest in poultry

on the farm. It is well to remember

that plunging «in the poultry business





 





' is .l'isky.‘ even When [955.3 have been





try breeders a. good hatching egg busl--





es by running the incubator in the

kitchen.



Of course, an incubator cannot be

located near a stove as the tempera-

ture of the outside air will have a di-





-rect influence on the air in the ma-





chine. In some homes when an incu-

bator has been in the kitchen they

have discontinued using the kitchen

stove for three weeks and used an oil

stove for cooking. Then the house is

heated by a furnace or stoves in an-

other room, and it is possible to keep

the kitchen heat uniform enough so

that the incubator can be fairly well

regulated.



Buyers of hatching egg boxes can

save money by purchasing them in

quantities and“ ordering early so ship-

ment can be by freight. Nothing is

gained trying to ship hatching eggs

without proper packages. It takes too

much time to make home-made pack-

ages and the breakage will be large if

they are made wrong. One setting of

eggs sells for enough to buy about a

dozen Or more packages and it takes

only a few minutes to pack and ad-

dress a commercial container.



Never try to hatch eggs that have

been chilled. It'is a waste of eggs

and time. When saving eggs for hatch-

ing they must be gathered frequently

and stored where they will not be too

cold nor too hot. A temperature of

about fifty degrees Fahrenheit seems

the most satisfactory. Even then eggs

for hatching should be stored no long-

er than necessary as the fresher the

eggs the better they are apt to hatch.





NATIONAL GRAPE GROWERS

' MEET.





ROHIBITION had no deleterious

effect on the grape industry of the

United States; but, on the con-

trary, prices last year for the product

of American vineyards were higher

than ever before, some‘growers real-

izing $130 to $150 a ton, while in 1919

they got about $75, and in 1914 only

$35. This feature was brought out in

the reports of delegates to the annual

congress of the National Grape Grow-

ers’ Associationmeeting, in Cleveland.

January 18-19, where were brought to-

gether sales managers and other rcp-

resentatives of local cooperative grape

growers’ ‘ organizations. in New York,

Pennsylvania, Ohio. . Infringing. Iowa.

The Hudson River district of Ne

and sold its grapes this year at $115 to

$175 a ton with three per cent commis-

sion. Trucks, are playing a most im-





portant part in marketing the grapes





of these eastern districts, and thus

higher prices are obtained.



The Niagara district, the only belt

in Canada, was organized in a cooper-

and in the two months of marketing

last fall from, twelve centers sold four

hundred and twenty cars, the price

being abbut $20 more than. the growers

individually had been able to secure.

Thisdistrict comprised a narrow strip

of about 4,500 acres, where about ten

thousand tons is produced, of which

about twenty per cent came into the

United States. The duty on these

grapes is about $15 a ton.

1921, and the consensus of opinion at

this meeting was that by waiting a





, Michigan Farmers’ Auto Tour l

' " By J. H. Brown . .





HE Second Michigan Farmers’



Automobile Tour will start from



the farm of Hon. George B. Hor-

ton about ten miles southwest of Ad-

rian in Lenawee county. An appropri-

ate program will be held there Sunday

afternoon, August 7, and on the follow-

ing day there will be three sessions in

which the subject of farm forestry will

be given special attention. A well

known forester of national repute will

speak and with the fine forests of Mr.

Horton's to draw lessons from the pro

gram should interest every farmer and

all other farm folks.



We will camp two nights at the Hor-

ton farm. Tuesday, August 9, we will

drive“ through Toledo to Norwalk, nine-

ty-six miles, and camp for the night.

Next day drive to Cleveland, fifty~eight

miles, and camp two nights. Big pro-

gram and . sight-seeing on Thursday,

Friday drive to‘Akron, and have lunch,

then drive to Alliance, thirty-five miles,

and camp’ , for the night. Saturday

drive to. Pittsburgh and camp two

nights. Monday, drive to Wheeling

and camp two nights. On Wednesday

drive to Zanesville and camp one night.

Next day to Columbus and carnp two

'nights. Choice from there will be to

Cincinnatiror Indianapolis, and return

home by way of Fort Wayne.



The State Granges of Ohio, Pennsyl-

vania, West Virginia and Indiana. will

join us in our various camps and take

part in the programs. We will have





‘ fine programs, noted speakers, bands





'of music, community singing, moving

pictures, sports, and so forth all along

the 1’0ute.



The expenses of the tour will be at

the lowest possible minimum. Gasoline

and oil. food to eat, with lunches at

noon on the road, will be but little

more than staying at home. Lodging

will cost us nothing. Each car will be

equipped with a tent, cots or beds,

bedding, and cooking utensils. Some

sort of a gas or oil stove is best for

cooking. - Trucks will travel with us

grapes be not considered; that the fed-I

to containers, namely, two, four, twelve

and thirty-two-quart packages; that

states license brokers and buyers of

grapes; that the ad valorem tax 011‘

the United States.





In preparing for this trip we advise

tourists to wear their old duds and

leave their jewelry at home. For

financing themselves they should use

their home bank book, or bank or ex-

press travelers' checks. Get the checks





in ten—dollar denominations which can '





be cashed along the way. We advise

against carrying any considerable

amount of money loose on the trip.





 





These members of the tour associa-

tion who went to Mackinaw and the

Soo, who have not already sent in their

application and registration fee of two

dollars should do as soon as possible.

The car owner can register his car for

the two dollars. Then when we meet

at our first camp at the George B. Hor-





 





ton farm, at Fruit Ridge, near the Ohio

line, each tourist registered, except the

car owner, can pay the fee at that





baggage truck for hauling tents, cots

and bedding from camp to camp for

the whole tour, is only two dollars for

each tourist. This applies to adults

only, as there will be no fee for chil-

dren in any family car.



At this time there are about forty

car spaces left for registration, and

these will be filled in order of their

receipt. After that cars can get in

only when a vacancy occurs, as may

happen before the tour starts, from

sickness or other cause.





The fust tour, held in August of last

year, was sponsored by the Michigan

Farmer. Now that the feasibility of

touring has been demonstrated the one

for 1921 will be conducted on its own

responsibility, the fees mentioned

above it is calculated are sufficient to

c0ve‘r overhead expenses. The 1921

tour will be under the management of

the writer. All correspondence should

be directed to him at 118 North Divi-

sion Street, Battle Creek, Michigan.

5 HOW Animals Fight -.





By C/zzi‘tenden Marriott





V AN is the only animal who de-

liberately fashions weapons with

which to fight. Some of his monk-



ey cousins throw stones and nuts and

anything that is handy; and a few of

the larger and more powerful apes are

said to use clubs, but none of these

Weapons were fashioned for fighting.

All other animals depend on the weap-

ons with which nature has equipped

them.



And nature has not been stingy eith-

er in the perfection or the range of

her gifts. To each and every species

she has given some natural weapon

with which it can capture (or fight to

retain possession of) its food, defend

itself against enemies that seek to

make food of it, fight for the posses-

sion of its chosen mate, and protect its

young. To one species she has given

teeth, to another claws, to others

hoofs, spurs, poison fangs, dagger-like

bills, stings, stenches, spit balls and

the like. Species which she did not

endow with sufficient means for de-





backs with’theenemy on top of them,

so that they can use all four sets of

claws to rip his undersides to ribbons.



A fight between two equally-well

matched cats isa whirlwind in which

each is trying to get undemost. The

under-cat is in no suchserious a fix

as the under-dog is said to be.



When compelled to face a much

stronger adversary, from which they

are unable to escape Or to which they

are unwilling to abandon their food or

their young, cats, like most other ani-

mals, " bare their teeth, arch their

backs, bristle their fur, and snarl in an

attempt to frighten the foe away.



Very different are the fighting meth-

ods of dogs, wolves, and their kihdred.

These have no claws and rely almost

solely on their teeth. In attacking

large game they bite at his heels, at-

tempting to hamstring the victim to

prevent it fr0m running away, or, when

in packs, they spring at their quarry’s

throat and try to drag it down by

weight of numbers. If the chosen vic-

Devours. It.’





fense have either perished or survive

only by their swift heels or the ability

to conceal themselves with which she

had supplied them.



Meat-eating animals, whether quad-

ruped, birds, or fish, are naturally es-

pecially well provided with offensive

fighting powers, for they depend on

these for their food (the first need of

every living thing), and their lives are

one long fight. Grass-eaters are less

well provided and are equipped for de-

fense rather than for offense; but their

defensive powers (or their capabilities

for flight or concealment) must be

good, for they are the chosen food of

the greater carnivores. And eaters of

nuts, worms, insects and the like, all

have to defend themselves and their

young against more powerful enemies.



Moreover, the males of most species

have to fight with each other more or

less desperately in order to win their

mates; and this alone puts fighting

qualities at a premium. ~ ‘ '



Most animals have several different

ways of fighting, according to whether

they are fighting against others of

their own kind or against “outsiders

who wish to eat them-or whom they

wish to eat. .



Thus cats, from the. household pet

up to the lion, try to spring or pounce

on. the backs of the game they hunt

and, unless the victim is much smaller.

time also unite in self-defense they try

to frighten some unlucky beast into

breaking away from the rest and then

concentrate on him. Some sorts of

smaller game, (such as rabbits) they

easily kill with a single bite; but other

sorts, (rats, for instance) which are

fighters themselves, they try to bite, to

toss quickly into the air, to catch and

bite again, toss again, and so on till

the victim is dead.



In fighting with their fellows some

of the dog‘tribe “slash” with knife-

like teeth and then jump away to avoid

a counter stroke; others bite deep (at

the throat, if possible, and hold on.

Most sorts try toknock their oppon-

ents over on their backs so as to get

at their throats. (hr fighting with one

of the big eats a. wolf’ would try to





bite and jump away before the cat,





could slash his abdomen).

canines try to keep on top'and never

to fall on their backs. ‘

Bears fight chiefly with their fore-

arms, with which they either strike or

bug, though they also use their jaws

and sometimes their mere weight to

crush their foes. Their feet have

claws, of course, but they use these

comparatively little infighting; it is

the strength of theiriblow that does

the work. (Bears have been taught to

wear gloves and box). The great weap-

numerous, when attacked by wolves

that would not be driven away, would

form a ring, horns lowered, within

which the calves and cows were so-

cure.



All the big “herbivores” use their

horns to repel attacks, but most of

them are always ready to take advan—

tage of any chance to trample their

fees with their hoofs, which range all

the way from razor sharp to crushing-

ly heavy.’



Horses, mules, zebras and the like

strike with their fore feet and bite and

tear with their jawsvuntil they get

a. chance to turn around and deal a.

knockdown blow with their heavy

heels. After this they trample their

prostrate foes. Of course neither

horses nor cattle can really fight

against a big cat that lands fairly on

their backs.



The skunk—well, the skunk has its

own means of defence, and the least

said about it the better.



The camel and the llama, under suf-

ficient provocation, will hurl at their

annoyer a “spit-ball” of semi-digested

food, whose effects are not so lasting

but are scarcely less unpleasant than

those of the skunk’s effusions. And,

of course, the elephant will at times

squirt a very wet and very forcible

stream of water at one who displeases

him. However, he prefers to do real

fighting with his tusks, his trunk. or

his heavy feet.



Musks, ferrets, weasels, and the like

seem to kill not for food, but merely

for the love of killing. In reality, how

ever, they kill recklessly because they

live on the blood rather than on the

flesh of their victims-and blood is a.

very small part of the bulk of any an~

imal. They are very deadly fees, for

they are slender enough to go nearly

anywhere and they are very strong,

very quick, and very fierce.



The kangaroo fights with his feet.

He sits up, as the bear does, but he

strikes with his bind and not his fore

feet. His claws are sharp and his

muscles strong; and when he lands he

is likely to rip and to stun his enemy.





Birds of prey are naturally fierce

fighters, because, like beasts of prey,

they win their food by fighting. Most

of them fight chiefly with their feet,

for all of them possess sharp claws,

controlled by mighty muscles, that

clutch and tear and strangle their vic-

time. Such birds use their beaks little

in killing for food; they do not need

to do so. But when they are fighting

with each other they use both claws

and beaks. And when they are defend

ing their nests against some stout en-

emy who is after their young they use

also’ their wings, which are very effec-

tiv'e, for with them they can deal blows

that may blind. or even hurl the ag‘

gressor headlong, from the heights to

which he has climbed.





In New Zealand a species of parrot

attacks sheep and kills them in orderA

to eat the kidney fat. For a time they

did great damage, but they have now

been nearly exterminated by sheep-

owners—who want to reserve sheep

for themselves.





Most birds (other than birds of prey)

fight with their bills; and anyone who

Dehorning Old Cows—Our eleven-

year-old cow will come fresh in about

three weeks, and I would like to know

if it will do to have her dehorned soon

after she calves? B. W., St. Louis,

Mich—There is no particular risk in

dehorning a cow of her age, but the

work should be speedily done, plenty

of bedding placed under her to prevent

injury, if she should fall. Apply pine

tar and oakum to wound, if she runs

out in cold, frosty weather.



Chronic Garget.——Have a cow that

has had garget for some time. Now

she gives stringy, cheese-like milk. A

bunch has formed on the milk vein. Is

my other cow that stands beside her

in danger of becoming diseased? D.

A., Imlay City, Mich—Your other cow

is in no particular danger of contract.

ing garget. Apply equal parts of tinc-

ture of iodin and camphOrated oil to

caked portion of udder once a day. If

her bowels are costive, ‘rgive epsom

salts.





Wart of Eyelid—We have a year-

old heifer with a wart over her left

eye which has been growing for the

past sixty days. It is the size of a

sewing thimble. C. H. H., Leslie,

Mich—Either cut it off, or apply olive

oil daily.



Malignant Sore—Ever since last

spring my mare has been troubled with

sore leg. The sore is low down on the

back part of hind log; it is much like

cracked heel. A. J. 0., Perry, Mich.—

Cautiously apply lyscl daily and keep





 





1 [the leg clean.

BUTTER .



The slight firmness in butter mar-

kets noted a week ago failed to hold

during the past week. The principal

factor in the market has been the sup-

ply of foreign butter, particularly Dan-

ish, in eastern markets. The Freder-

ick VIII arrived with 17,850 casks but

the New York markets seemed to have

discounted this supply in advance and

displayed less weakness than the oth-

er. This butter sold actively at 49%@

5085c. It is reported that new offers

of this butter are made for February

delivery as low as 420 without the

duty. California and New Zealand but-

ter were also offered in New York.

Storage holdings of creamery butter

on January 1 were 58,753,000 pounds, a

decrease of 21,000,000 pounds during

December, or practically the same as

during December a. year ago. The

closing tone of the market was unset-

tled with slight improvement in the

undertone. Prices on fresh creamery

butter on January 22 as reported by

the Bureau of-Markets were as fol-

lows: Chicago 450; New York 500;

Boston 510; Philadelphia 516.





POTATOES





Changes in the potato market during

the past week have been slight. Re—

ceipts at consuming markets were nor-

mal. New York shipping points were

quoted slightly lower at $1.30@.1.35 per

hundred pounds. Prices in consuming

markets at the close of the week were

as follows: Chicago—Northern whites

sacked $1.20@1.30.

STATE FARM BUREAU MARKET

REPoRTr .





 





Following last week’s decline and re-

ports that exporters were again in the

market for wheat and rye, the present

situation shows considerable improve-

ment and the market regained recent

losses. Corn and oats continue weak.

Reports of heavy corn receipts at Chi-

cago demoralized the corn market.

Generally cats have declined in sym-

pathy with corn. The hay situation

has not improved and even lower level

of prices may prevail. More than fifty

per cent of marketable surplus of hay

yet unmoved, with only three months

left to dispose of it. Seed prices have

suffered sharp decline the past week;

consignments of farmers’ seed to the

State Farm Bureau continue about the

same.

of the service the seed department is

rendering. Demand for soy beans, field

beans, oats and barley is much~more

active. Indications point to brisk de-

mand for this class.

~1y. The market has





farm.





The gradual improvement in the





week. The fine and fine medium

grades have been purchased most free-

become more

steady and there are fewer lots offered

at extreme bargains. The American

Woolen Company is reported to have

purchased several million pounds and

mill operation is gradually increasing

as a sufl‘lcient volume of orders for

goods is being received. The London

auctions show no particular change in

prices but cross- -breds were in stronger

demand than recently. Australian and

New Zealand growers are inclined to

hold back and only offer such quanti-

ties as the market will absorb without

lowering quotations. South American

markets have become more steady. Ev-

erywhere there is a greater feeling of

confidence and in a few cases ofi'ers

have been refused by wool merchants

which would have been readily accept-

ed not long ago. Boston reports larger

receipts and shipments than for sever-

al weeks. ,The prices quoted by man-

ufacturers on yarns and cloths are so

low in many cases that it will be diffi-

cult to advance wool prices very much

above the present level.





' THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.





HE general ,business outlook dur-



ing last week showed additional

improvement, particularly in manufac-

turing and wholesale trade. Develop-

ments in the field of foreign affairs

were instrumental in causing the de-

cline in Wheat prices, breaks in some

of the other grains and some classes

of live stock being due primarily to

heavy 1eceipts.



It is safe to say that the most ad-

verse news which must be faced before

the end of the present business depres-

sion is reached will come from abroad.

It is granted on every hand that the

danger of a crisis in this country is

definitely passed but the same cannot

be said with equal assurance of Euro-

pean countries. The depression start-

ed first in the Far East in Japan, then

appeared in this country six or eight

months ago. European countries were

in a bad way already and the disas-

trous effects of commodity price de-

clines‘ have not yet exerted their full

influence in those countries. The Unit-

ed States has virtually led the world

in the deflation of values.



Most European countries are receiv-

ing less from taxes, even though these

are oppressively heavy, than their gov-

ernment expenditures require. Failure

to settle promptly the German indem-

nity question is another unsettling fac-

tor. The European problem is a tre-

mendous one in which the American

people are extensively, although indi-

rectly involved. South American coun-





to solve so that the difficulties are not

confined exclusively to war-stricken

territory. ‘



Not only will the American people

be asked to assist in financing exports

to foreign countries but it is expected

that a. large number of loans will be

floated by foreign countries in this

country during the coming year.



Belgium is already after a loan of

$30,000,000. Much of the funds raised

by such means will be spent in this

country for food and raw materials for

manufacture. These must be obtained

in some way, otherwise Europe can

never pay its previous debts to us.



Congress has been virtually flooded

with requests for tariff protection from

practically every branch of production

from the metals down to clothespins,

although these requests have received

rather less space in public print than

requests for tariffs on farm products.

Low rates of foreign exchange give

foreign producers a decided advantage

in this country, but if they are to pay

their debts they must" be allowed to

sell somewhere—G.

Meet The Drop In

Crop Prices





Every cloud has a silver lining and even

though farmers have had to stand large

losses on account of the resent slump' 1n the

market prices of crops, $cre is every goodo

reason to rejoice and be optimistic. In 1919,

when crops brought “to notch" prices,

farmers fed one billion ollars to insects,

which means that every 100 Acres was taxed

about $280. 00 for the support. of pests.

Another billion dollar loss in 1921 in addition

to the steadily declining market prices would

cause a serious situation. But, thanks to a

European Chemist and Agronomist, no such

calamity will occur. There has just been

perfected a marvelous, new seed treatment

that will positively protect planted and un-

plauted seeds from destruction by insects,

worms, mice, gophcrs, crows, rabbits and

other damaging pests; also from mould and

decay in over-wet soil. Samples of treated

seeds with full particulars may be had free by

simply writing to the Agricultural Chemical

Company, Dept. 109, North and Sheffield

Ave. , Chicago, Illinois.
