OT many years ago the thought pre-

able“ sages. In other words, the individual

would have to go-through a process of rip-

ening by age before he was considered a

valuable asset to the community. But now,

it seems that the tendency is toward the





of the opportunity in rural

communities for accomplish-

ing things worth while. The

young folks are rapidly learn-

ing that rewards of happiness

as well as of material things

coming to those living in rur-

al communities give greater

satisfaction than "do the re—

wards of city life.



Primarily the parents are

supposed to be the educators

0f, and guides to their chil-

dren, but with the develop-

ment of civilization more and

more of .the child’s education

and preparation come from





woutside the family. At least,





in the recent development of





boys’ and girls’ club work parents have not

been counselors of their children. In fact,

it seems that now the child quite often

leads the parent to better things. He may

have shown through his work, ways to a

better and a more profitable farming and to

happier and more convenient homes.



Nor should the older folks feel discour-





As a duty to the children, the World, and

to themselves, parents should encourage

their children to undertake some kind of

good work. They should stand behind the

boy and girl and encourage them to greater

efforts, for encouragement is the most potent

stimulant to accomplishment. Many have

become famous because they had someone

Where they have entered and

CURRENT COMMENT





HE promotion

work done by the

Michigan Milk Pro-

ducers’ Association

which has resulted in

the organization of

the Michigan Dairy Company, as re-

ported in another column, is an im-

portant forward marketing step on

which the dairymen of the Detroit

market milk area are to be congratu-

lated. The results secured at the

' Grove City plant, after which the first

plant of the kind to be erected in the

Detroit area will be modeled, indicate

that the manufacturing of high-grade

dairy products, such as Swiss cheese,

which will equal the imported article,

will return to the patrons a price for

'their product which will closely ap-

proximate the price for market milk.

And when a chain of these factories

‘_ has been completed, all of which are

controlled by members of the Milk

Producers’ Association, who alone are

eligible as stockholders, the facilities

will be at hand for the development of

an adequate plan for the disposal of

the surplus milk in the Detroit area,

thus removing a difficult sales handi-

cap and the source of much dissatis-

faction in the selling of the city milk



' supply.



Of course, this benefit; will not be

realized with the establishment of. one

factory, but this will be an important

forward step toward the desired end,

‘ as it Will enable the establishment of

a market for the product and will be

a needed experiment plant for the de-

velopment. of a chain of similar plants

which will be a most valuable aid in

the solution of the marketing problem

in the area.

close second in business principles is

[equipment to the point of greatest





economic emciency. And in this re-

gard Michigan farmers one also well in

the vanguard, as both observation and

available statistics "will show. The ex-

tension of tile drainage in may sec-

tions, the more general and liberal lim-

ing of soils in other communities

where this treatment is needed, the

installation of better equipment and

the adoption of labor-saying methods

everywhere point to more economic

production ‘which will go far toward

overcoming the deflation handicap

with which the farmers of the country

have been confronted.





,The consideration of these factors,

together with lowered labor and other

production costs, has resulted in a con-

sensus of opinion that this season’s

farm production costs will range from

twenty to thirty per cent below those

of last year. This fact, together~ with

the prevailing tendency toward stabil-

ization of values of farm products,

should inspire optimism in business

circles as well as among farmers. As





a class, farmers have complained less,





loudly regarding prevailing business

conditions than have most classes of

business men and are laying their

plans and going about their produc-

tion tasks more confidently and cheer-

fully, which fact is not only to their

credit, but is a matter for sincere con-

gralulation to the country in the pres-

ent emergency.

Dairy Company Organized





T a meeting held in Detroit last

A Saturday the Michigan Dairy



Company was formally organiz-

ed. This business organization is the

result of the preliminary work done by

the Michigan Milk Producers’ Associa-

tion on the plan to build and operate

a number of modern dairy manufactur—

ing plants in or around the Detroit

market milk shed with the ultimate

end in view of handling the surplus

milk in the area during seasons of

flush production in addition to their

regular manufacturing business. The

matter of the location of this first fac~

tory was left to the committee now

making a survey of the territory, with

power to act. The new company is

being organized under the new Michi-

gan corporation law, which permits a

combination of the cooperative and

stock company plans, which in the

opinion of those who have made a

thorough study of the proposition is

best suited to an organization of this

kind which is ultimately destined to

serve a double purpose, viz., provide

a permanent market for the milk of

producers in the territory where it is

located and a temporary market for

milk from outside the territory when

the plan is fully developed. The com—

pany will be capitalized at $120,000, a

portion of which stock will be sub—

scribed ‘by the Michigan Milk Produc-

ers' Association, and the balance or





who, will benefit directly or indirectly

by the operation of the plant. The

of ten per cent per year after the third

of their patronage, while the dividends

which may be paid on the common

stock are limited to seven per cent

per annum, this making the enterprise

purely cooperative in effect.



It is proposed to erect a plant on the

plan of the model plant at Grove City,

Pennsylvania, which has been so suc-

cessfully developed through the aid of

the Dairy Division of the United States

Department of Agriculture. The devel-

opment work of the Michigan Dairy

Company will be in charge of Helmer

Rabild, formerly of Michigan, but for

some years in charge of the field work

of the Dairy Division, at Washington.

Mr. Rabild needs, no introduction to

Michigan dairymen, and his direction

of this enterprise will be generally

looked upon as practical insurance of

its success.



Something over ten per cent of the

stock of this new corporation was sub-

scribed before the formal organization

was completed. At the initial meeting

a board of seven directors were elect-

ed as follows: _N. P. Hull, 'Lansing;

GREAT BRITAIN is ready tolling

on to America’s plan fowl-

mentifno(t1withstandtlng1 the fa '
HERE are great opportunities in

the improvement of unproduc-

., tive permanent pasture land in

Michigan, both in quality and quantity

-' of forage produced and also in the in-

' troduction of permanent pastures on

w many fields that are too hilly or tafl

, badly eroded to produce profitable

yields Of grain. There are possibili-

ties for the farmer who owns light

soils, the nature of which are not ideal

~ for the production of the common pas-

- ture graSses. It is probable that no

‘ other portion of the farm has been so

neglected or mismanaged as has the

‘ pasture land. In most cases no atten~

tion is paid to the addition of plant

food further than that which is re-

turned while the’ animals are grazing

upon it. Very few farmers apply' lime

to them, although in the majority of

instances the soils are in need of it.



In numerous instances permanent

pasturesin Michigan are not produc-

ing the quantity of forage they should,

or in fact, could be made to yield. Es-

pecially is this true on the lighter

soils and in case of those that are

quite rolling where erosion or wash-

ing of the surface material by the rain

has been extensive. Under such con—

ditions the growth starts quite slowly

in the spring which’ means a later

turning in of the live stock and

a shorter feedingperiod and in addi-

tion the scant growth means a decid-

ed reduction in .the acre profit of the

farm. Our investigations of the com-

position of the major soil types or

kinds of soil in the state point out

quite clearly the cause of such.



Nitrogen is Deficient in Many Pas-



ture Lands. ,



A very important reason is the de-

ficiencyof nitrogen in the soil, which

usually results in a rather scant

growth of forage. This, then, becomes



.one of the important considerations in

the fertilization of these lands. Ni.

trate of soda under such conditions

may be used to decided advantage, es-

pecially 'when the prices of the same

are more normal. In the use of ni-

trate of' soda it should be applied early

in the spring or just at the beginning



_ of growth. The applications should

vary, depending upon the condition of

the land, from fifty to one hundred

pounds'per'acre. Usually such treat-

ments result almost immediately in a

great stimulation of the non-legumi-

nous plants or such grasses as June

grass, red-top or orchard grass and

others.



However, if it is not possible to ap-

ply this material at this time it may

be applied with decided'advantage lat-

er on in the growing season. Its pres-

ence in‘addition to the stimulation of



g early growth also results in a marked

increasejn quantity of the product

aifd also in the later development in



‘ the fall; ' Thus the acre value of the



. pasturemay be appreciably higher.

Where .nitrate of soda was. applied to

permanent June grass sod in Eaton



-cotmty Just as growth started, this

past spring, the grass was more than

ten‘inches tall on May 10, due to the

addition of the nitrate, whereas that

growing on untreated pOrtions of the



Cfieldat this. time was less. than four



inches in, length. Striking results are

being obtained on a timothy meadow



- in Ingham county;



' .. Ammonium sulphate may be used as



ya carrier of nitrogen for the stimula-





.tiOn of pasture lands, provided lime





has been applied or is present in suffi—

‘cient quantities in the soil. This ma-

quantities should be applied as in' the

case of nitrate of soda. It should be

recalled, however, that this material

is slightly slower in its action or

should be applied to-the land some-

what earlier than the above carrier.



Some Soils Lack Sufficient Phos-



phates.



Another condition which has been



revealed by our fertility investiga-





tions in the state is a quite common





deficiency in phosphorus, especially

the available material. It has been

a long time considered’that the addi-

tion-of phosphates to soils lacking in

them results primarily in increased de-

velopment of the grain or fruit por-

tion of the plant. It has been shown

conclusively, however, that its use un~





best pastures in France are grown on

those soils richest in phosphorus.



Where the phosphates are applied

to the soil as top-dressings it is usu-

ally advisable to use the more soluble

or more readily available carriers,

such as the acid phosphates or the

treble phosphate. If two hundred and

fifty pounds or more of the former are

added \per acre the application should

endure for two years, although it may

be advisable to add larger quantities

in some cases. The treble phosphate

should be used in about one-third as

large quantities as the sixteen per cent

acid phosphate.



Mixed Fertilizers Used.

rials can not be purchased convenient-

der such conditions .does more than

this, tremendously stimulating the





root development of plants and thus

assisting in forming a good turf and

pasture land and also greatly augment-

ing the productions of the leaf and

stem portions of the crop. Instances

are numerous in Michigan where phos-

phorus has increased development of

a great diversity of crops, especially

early in the season. Thus we are safe

in stating that in the majority of cas-

es on depleted grazing lands it will be

profitable.



Another point to consider is that the

addition of this plant food is known to

raise greatly the feeding value of the

forage produced. In fact, it is main-

tained by authorities that the most

nutritious pastures in England and the





ly mixed goods may be used with prof-

it. Where the soils are quite poor,

and especially on the lighter ones, a

mixture containing two or three per

cent of ammonia, from eight to twelve

per cent of phosphoric acid and two

to four per cent of. potash may be used

at the rate of two hundred pounds or

more per acre. On the somewhat bet-

ter lands the potash may be omitted

and if it is desirable to maintain or to

introduce clovers in the pasture. only

phosphoric acid and potash. should be

used. This is true because this addi-

tion of the nitrogen carrier results in

an increase of grasses over legumes

as has been brought out in numerous

places in this country as well as at

the famous Rothamsted Experiment

Station, England.





Hubam Clover Prospects





UBAM clover makes a very slow

growth during the first few

weeks of its development after

On

many of the fields where the prospects

are very discouraging to the person

who*has never seen this annual sweet

clover grow, there will, in all proba-

bility be a good yield of seed if the

farmer does not. become completely

disheartened, plow up and devote the

field to other crops. .



According to Professor Cox, of the-

Michigan Agricultural College, a good

seed yield can be expected where the

plants stand as far apart as one foot

periment station and college who

have had the most to do with the cul-

ture of the crop in this state as well

as of those who introduced it into the

northern districts, that it is not nec-

essary to weed out the small grasses

and slender weeds, since the sweet

clover will soon grow away from them

once it‘has become well established.

On the other hand, these authorities

all do agree that vigorous, rapid grow-

ing weeds, such as foxtail, ragweed,

dock, quack grass, thistles, etc., should

be pulled. Blocking is not advisable.

Lime can be used with profit on

as the majority of our soils are acid!

in the form of pulverized limestone at





the rate of one or more tons per acre,‘ ’





three or more cubic yards of marl, oi-

as the sugar factory product. The ap-

plication should be repeated after five

or more years. The lime may be ap-

plied at any time of year that the soil

light, reenl‘orced with phosphate, and

should be uniformly distributed over

the land; but unless the vegetable

matter of the soil is very deficient it

is propably advisable to utilize the ma-

nure for the improvement of the culti-

vated land.



Sweet Clover is a Boon to Sandy Soils.



The sandy land farmer usually has a.

great deal of difficulty in producing an

ample amount of forage for grazing

purposes to enable him to keep a.

proper number of live stock on his

farm in order to have a well-balanced

farm management system and to keep

his soil in good condition. This is true

because most of the grasses that are

grown for pasture purposes are shal-

low rooted and consequently suffer

very quickly from drouth when grown

on light soils, the result being in many

instances short, pasture in mid-season

at the time when ample quantities are

very desirous.



This situation may be largely over-

come by the growth of sweet clover on

such lands. This crop is deep rooted

and is very drouth—resistant and when

the soil is properly handled produces

large amounts of forage and accord-

ingly will stand a great deal of graz-

ing. Live stock experts rep01t that

this c10p is vcxy nut1itious. When it

is considered that it is a heavy yield-

er, is a crop that will stand heavy pas-

turing and also one that is nutritious,

it seems that here are splendid oppor-

tunities for the farmer who decides to

keep live stock on light soils. In many

cases a seeding of this crop to the roll-

ing and hilly lands will result in a de-

cided advantage to the farm. In or-

der to grow this crop certain condi-

tions must be met. lt should be dis-

tinctly understood that sweet clover is

a" lime-loving plant and if it is not

present in sufficient quantities in the

soil it must be added to it. Usually

it is necessary to apply lime to estab-

lish sweet clover on our soils. There

are some instances where gravelly

slopes carry a high percentage of lime

which will produce sweet clover. It

is usually advisable to apply from one-

half to two tons per acre of pulverized

limestone, or from three to five cubic

yards of mail or similar quantities of

sugar factory lime to the land for this

crop.



In addition our experiments in sev-





eral parts of Michigan show that the





addition of the acid phosphate is usu-

ally desirable and where the soils are

very light and quite badly run, or in-

fertile, that potash should be‘ added

also. Our experiments in Cass county

on rather light soils show conclusively

that the addition of forty or more

pounds of potash per acre is desira-

ble, although a fairly

growth of sweet clover can be obtaino":

ed without the use of potash. 'If these

treatments are afforded the soil and

some of the plants are permitted to

form seed, usually this crop will

seed itself. It may be advisable €01

DISCOVERER OF HUBAM CLOVER

HERE.





 





'ROFESSOR HUGHES, of the agri-



, cultural college at Ames, Iowa, dis-

coverer of the famous Hubam annual

sweet clover, and Professor Peters, of

the U. S. Department of Agriculture,

Were recently at farm bureau head-

quarters in Lansing Inspecting test

plats at MVA. 0., set out by the farm

bureau to determine which of all the

good varieties of alfalfa seed brought

in from the northwest are the very

best for Michigan conditions. The vis-

' itors were very favorably impressed

with Michigan methods.





GRAIN MEN TO MEET.





 





MEETING of millérs, elevator



men, farmers and insurance in-

terests was called by Secretaries Hoov-

er and Wallace to discuss the practi-

cability of a plan for warehousing

grain and making credit upon it more

readily available. After much discus-

sion in which the plan was opposed by

the milling interests on the grounds

that it would injure the mills at inte-

rior points remote from the terminal

warehouses, a committee of the var-

ious interests represented was appoint

ed, to prepare recommendations.



Mr. Hoover’s plan is to develop an

adequate warehousing system under

the present Lever act, whereby the

farmer may receive warehouse re«

ceipts for his grain which would pass

as an £11:er for delivery. It was as-

serte'd that no legislation would be

needed to carry out its provisions, in-

volving the grading of non—perishable





products, such as grain, and storing





them in bonded warehouses, but this

point was questioned by men who

could see a need for legislation to

make the financing end of the proposi-

tion effeCtive.

be insured and against the warehouse

receipts another insurance policy

would be written which would guaran-

tee that the warehouse receipts repre-

sent products of a standard grade and





would insure the owner of the receipts





against any moral risks. Friends of

the plan claim it would increase the

farmer’s borrowing capacity, and ena-

ble him to hold his grain and facilitate

orderly marketing.





Secretary Hoover says that under

the plan projected, the country el-

evator would have the right to ship

grain to the terminal elevator, deliver-

ing upon presentation of the certifi-

cate, at the terminal, grain of the same

or of a higher grade. Freight and oth-

er charges would be deducted from the

sale value. It is also contemplated

that there should be some means of

settling disagreements as to quantity,

grade and quality, since the settlement

between the farmer and country ele-

vator must be absolute. It is believed





this could be arranged through the .





submission of samples to the grade

supervisor of the department of agri-

culture, or other nearby authority.

URGE TRUTH-lN-FABRIC BILL.





 





NUMBER of leading wool grow‘



ers, including representatives of

the National Sheep and Wool Bureau

of America, and several state wool

growers‘ associations were in Washing-

ton, attending hearings on the truth-

in—fabric bill before a sub-committee

of the interstate commerce committee

of the senate, composed of Senators

Watson, of Indiana, Townsend, of

Michigan, and Smith, of South Caro-

lin‘a. Among those appearing in de-

fense of the bill are Dr. J. M. Wilson,

president Wyoming Wool Growers’ As-

sociation; J. F. Walker, of Gambier,





--States’

Briggs, of New York, who has charge,





Ohio, president of the Fleece Wool





Association, and George D.





of the wool growers' program before

the committee.



It was the contention of Gray Silver.

Washington representative . of _ the

American Farm Bureau Federation,





. that “twothirds of the woolen clothes





manufactured are shoddy. This is true

because only one-third new or virgin

wool is used annually to mix with the

twothirds shoddy which‘js composed

of old rags, cast-oi! wor‘n clothing,

waste and clippings. .Yet the woolen

garments usually are sold to the public

8 “all wool" which term is taken to

mean virgin wool. It is this “all wool"

alias or substitute for virgin wool

which the French bill seeks to expose

by requiring that fabriCs. purporting to

contain wool shall be labeled to show

the amount or percentage of virgin

wool, shoddy, cotton or silk.



“The wool grower is not asking that

shoddy be not used, but he does insist

upon the manufacturer being required

to pass his wool on to the public in

honest form, labeled so the buyer may

know what he is purchasing. Take

away the virgin wool and the shoddy

would not last long. At this time we

have in this country about a billion

pounds of wool and a new clip at

hand. In normal years we cannot use

more than 600,000,000 pounds, and it

is the belief of the farmers that the

buying public should have the benefit

of this great supply of wool and that

they should be able to buy properly

labeled fabrics showing the amount of

virgin wool they contain. The farmers

think the passage of this bill is even

more important than a tariff on wool.”

EXTERMINATING‘ QUACK GRASS.





 





Can you tell me 11.0w to get rid of

quack grass ?——A. J. C.





There are a number of ways to de-

stroy quack grass, their practicability

depending largely upon the amount

that you have to destroy. If you only

have a small patch of it, say a few

feet square, it can be dug out with a

grass hook, or, the patch can be smoth-

ered by covering it two or three feet

deep with straw or coarse manure. Or,

you can take building paper, weight it

down with earth so that the wind will

not blow it away, in fact, anything

that will prevent air getting to the

plant, will smother it. It can be smoth-

ered another way and that is by cul-

tivation. If you do not allow any liv-

ing part of the plant to appear above

ground, the plant smothers because a

' plant breathes through its leaves.

Small patches can be attended to by

hoeing them carefully with a hand-hoe

every time that any green leaves of

the plant appear above ground. If you

keep them cut off in this way for one

entire season the plant will be ex-

terminated.





If you have quite a large field, or a

whole field for instance, of course it

costs a great deal to try to extermi-

nate it by any of these methods that

I have described. You could plow the

field now, work it up good and the

first of July seed it heavily to buck-

wheat. Buckwheat is a rapid grower

and shades the ground thoroughly.

» This is a process of smothering and

siflfyou give careful preparation to the

land and get a splendid stand of buck-

What the plant will be almost, if not





 





and materially lessens its dlgestibility.





entirely exterminated in one season.

You can plow the buckwheat early in

September and sow to rye if you

choose, and seed to clover with the

assurance that there will not be enough

of the quack grass left to interfere

materially in the growth of the crop.

In all probability, some of the plant

will not be entirely destroyed and it

will begin to appear and gain a foot—

hold and after a year or two it may

become troublesome again, when you

can repeat the process. In this way,

you can manage quack-grass so that

it does very little harm.



You can raise any kind of tillage

crop you choose, like corn or beans or

sugar beets, on quack grass sod if you

are willing to give these 'crops such

thorough tillage as is necessary to

keep the quack grass down. For in-

stance, if after every cultivation you

go through with a. hand—hoe and hoe

up every living part of the plant after

cultivation and do this once a week or,

perhaps, once in two weeks, for one

entire season, you will certainly be

master of the quack grass, if you have

not eradicated it entirely—C. C. L.





TIME TO CUT PEAS AND OATS

FOR HAY.





 





At what stage should a mixture of

oats and peas be cut for hay to get

the best results for horse feed ?—C. V.



Like all crops intended for hay or

forage, they should ‘be harvested be-





fore the plants are ripe because as the ‘





plant approaches the ripening stage, a

great deal of woody fibre has deve10p~

ed which makes the plant unpalatable





 





Everybody understands that to have

good clover hay, it ought to be cut be-

fore the heads all turn brown, in fact,

when clover is in full bloom it con-

tains the largest amount of digestive

nutrients. Now, with peas and eats

the principle is just exactly the same.

Oat hay, if the plant is cut when the

oats are in the milk, contains the

largest percentage of digestive nutri-

ents, that is the whole plant. You are

not after grain, you are after digesti-

ble forage.



The same way with the pea plant.

Just as soon as the pods are formed

before the peas are really developed,

is the proper time to cut this plant.

Sometimes the pea plant and the cat

plant do not develop at exactly the

same time and the best rule to go by

is to cut the oat plant just as it is in

full bloom or as soon as you can there-

after. Do not let the berry get out of

the milk stage and the crop is cured

and taken care of similar to clever

hay.—‘—C. C. L.





CRIPPLED CHICKS.





 





The first fifty chicks hatched out in

the incubator were smart and strong,

and the rest hatched seemed to have





no use of their legs, could just crawl





along. Their legs were stiff and stuck

straight out at each side. Also quite

a number died in the shell, the eggs

were pipped but the chicks did not

have strength enough to get out. Can

you t§ll me the cause of this trouble?



When a large number of chicks die

in the shell and there are a lot of crip-

ples, it is often an indiCation that'the

incubator has overheated at some pe-

tied-z during the hatch. mite





 





 





re: are apt . after holding. “new





to be a very few cripples in a large in-

cubator hatch, even when conditions

are as ideal as possible. But when a

large per cent are ‘in that condition it

means errors in incubation. The only





remedy is to select eggs as fresh as -





po'ssible from vigorous breeding stock

and follow the directions of the incu-

bator manufacturer very closely re

garding the management of incubator.-

HAY CROP FOR LIGHT SOIL.





 





I am plowing three acres that is

mostly light sand, I have asked sev-

eral farmers abdut it and some say

one thing and some another. At Mid—

land they told me that if I would put

twenty pounds of vetch and one bush-

el of oats to the acre any time this

month, it would make good hay. Does

that make good hay for horses, if not,

what would you advise me to sow on

the three acres to make hay? Does

sand vetch make good cow feed? '



Midland Co. F. S.





Here at the station the past two





years we have sown a mixture of two'





bushels of oats and twenty pounds of

sand or hairy vetch per acre the latter

part of April ’and the first of May, and

have found it to be a very good hay

crop. The hay is very .readily eaten

by either horses or cows. When sown

later than the first week of May it has

been our experience that the yield was

much less than the early sowings.

Consequently I would not recommend

work has shown that just as good re-

ferior cheese. 3



Although some cheddar or American





cheese is made from skim-milk it'is





best Utilized in the production of eith-"

'er the cottage cheese or the so-called

Lpimento cheese.



In the home manufacture of cottage

cheese the clean, wholesome skim-

milk is placed in sterile containers and

removed to a warm place, one about

seventy—two degrees F., and left there

until it is well curdled. It usually re-

quires about’ forty-eight hours for the

milk to become well curdled. When

the milk is well curdled it is broken

up into small pieces of uniform size.

The broken curd is then placed on the

stove and brought up to about ninety

degrees F. This heating process should

be, ,very slow, taking from thirty to

forty minutes. When the desired

pOint, ninety degrees F., is reached the

temperature is kept constant until the

whey appears clear. It requires about

fifteen minutes for the whey to sep—

arate from the curd. When. the sep-

aration is complete the whey is with-

drawn and the curd placed in muslin

sacks and allowed to drain. The curd,

when thoroughly drained, is salted at

the rate of one pound of salt to one

quality of product is desired, cream

the coagulated mixture into muslin

sacks and allow it to drain. When the

curd has drained sufficiently, turn it

out of the sacks into a pan and mix

with salt and pepper to suit the taste.

One small can of pimentos should then,

be ground fine and mixed into the

cheese. This operation completes the

product. It can then be placed in suit-

able containers or sold by the bulk.

This variety of cheese is more profit—

able than cottage cheese as it brings

from thirty to forty cents per pound.



The cream pimento cheese will keep

a long time even though it is not plac-

ed on ice. However, both brands of

cheese are much better if used imme~

thoroughly cooled.

CONFERENCE on 11.11. RATES.





 





EPRESENTATIVES of the De-7





partment of Transportation of the

American Farm Bureau Federation ap’

peared at the Interstate Commerce

Commission hearing in Denver on June

1 and in Chicago on June 6 to present

evidence showing why railroad rates

should be reduced. The hearings in-

volved the rates on live stock in the

western district. It was proposed that

the commission remove the thirty~five

per cent general advance established

August 26, 1920.





Plan Coopera-





tch Coal Buying





ATE summer and fall may find

the organized farmers of the mid-

dle west striking a hard blow at

the high cost of heating by buying

their threshing and winter coal supply

direct from the mines through a co-

operative coal purchasing organization

under the auSpices of the American

Farm Bureau Federation. Preliminary

plans to establish such an organiza-

tion were formulated at a meeting of

representatives of the State Farm Bu-

reaus of Minnesota, Michigan, Wiscon-

sin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and

West Virginia held in Chicago June 13.

Easily one million tons and possibly

five millions might be handled under

the plan if its full possibilities were

to be utilized. By avoiding one or

more brokerage charges, reducing the

freights by direct routing, and cutting

local. handling charges to an actual

cost basis, substantial savings to farm-

ers could be affected.





The conference was called by the

American Farm Bureau Federation pri~

marily to hear the details of a plan

proposed by the West Virginia Federa—

tion which already is acting as the 10-

cal agent in the purchase of coal being

supplied to farm bureaus in Maryland,

Virginia, the Carolinas and to a. few

counties in Wisconsin. Under this

plan the West Virginia organization

would make the contracts with the

mine operators, obtain accmate analy-

ses of/heat value and ash of various

coals, furnish inspectors to visit the

mines from time to time and to see

that the coal is being properly picked,

cleaned, and screened while lOading,

and in the event of a car shortage to

see that the just proportion of cars are

allotted to farm bureau orders.





During the conference it was 'brought

out that the states represented, not-





ably Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and





Illinois, use more coal from the south-

ern Illinois field than from WestVir-





‘ginia, even though. the latter produces





coal of a higher grade. This has been

especially true since the freight rates

As a result, the tentative

plans were broadened to include the

purchase of coal from whatever sec-

tion the best value could be obtained.



A cooperative coal buying commit-

tee was appointed to consider further

the feasibility of the entire plan and

to draw up the details of the arrange-

ment with West Virginia. Their re-

port will be submitted to a conference

of farm bureau presidents and secre-

taries which'meets in Chicago on June

20. Although the report is not yet

complete, some of its prov1sions are:





portation company which Will give the

cheapest freight rate to the delivery

point, except in cases in which a. spe‘

cial kind of coal or a. special routing

is requested.



That there be furnished the various

State Farm Bureaus and to their local

organizations when requested, market

quotations on the twenty-fifth of each

month for the succeeding month.





That the State Farm Bureaus use a

standard form of order blank and

when orders are placed furnish each

farm bureau with a duplicate copy of

bill of ladlng and invoice.



That an examination of all records

by any authorized representative of

the American Farm Bureau Federa—





tion be allowed upon presentation of,





proper credentials.



That the State Farm Bureaus give

publicity to and encourage their re~

spective cooperative elevators, ex-

changes, farmers’ clubs, and individ-

uals to pool their orders for coal with

their respective central organizations

and furnish to these local g1 oups quo-

tations,01der blanks and other plans

and information which will help them

in meeting their requirements fOr coal.



That the State Farm Bureaus en-

dorse and forward promptly .to the pur-

chasing agent in the state through

whiCh coal is purchased, all orders re-





ceived by them from their local organ~ '





izations or individuals.





The committee is expected to inves~ ,





tigate the price of coal from other

fields to see whether midwest farmers

can be provided with coal from other

than WestVirginia mines at a cheaper

rate.

the best grade of soft coal was $3.50

per ton f. o. b. mines. Poorer grades

from the same section ran as low

as $2.00. .



Purchases would necessarily be for

cash with payment upon delivery so

far as the state afid national Organiza-

tions Were concerned. Local arrange-

ments might be made, however, to

carry a supply of coal available to

farmers unable or unwilling to take

their full requirements early in the

season.



It was brought out that the coal

trade confidently expects coal prices to

advance after another eight or ten





weeks when the fall demand starts 83,





that it will be highly desirable to start;





the project promptly and urge farmers





to place their orders early; that low





 

 





prices for-coal never can be obtained





until coal production can be dis

other states are already buying

cream on a graded basis, similar to

that urged by theVMichigan Associa-

tion of Creamery Owners and Manag-

ers, the State Farm Bureau is advised.

Last week the campaign which Mich-

igan creamerymen have been waging

in the interests of'delivery of sweeter

and higher’ quality cream for butter-

making purposes reached a climax in

“Better Cream Week.” Arrangements

are already under way for consolidat-





week’s demonstrations. °

Manufacturers who have held it im-

practicable to grade cream and pay for

it, are declared to be doing some ser-

iOUS thinking about this method of

buying cream. Some weeks ago the

market price for extra butter was

thirty—two cents a pound in Chicago,

and first—grade butter was selling for

less thanptwenty—one cents a pound,

says a Wisconsin authority. Some of

the butter manufacturers who supply

that market lost ten to twelve cents

a pound on the butter-fat purchased,

and the producer of high—grade cream

was also a loser under the system of

buying which does not take into con—

sideration quality in cream.

‘ The plan that Michigan creamery-

men hope to have working Within the

year would grade cream ihto two gen-

eral classesflfirst and second—and

make a difference of one to several

cents per pound of butter-fat, depend-

ing upon which class the cream at-

tained. Demonstrations on cream

grading will continue at the various

creameries, says the creamery associa-

tion. , The demonstrations are claimed

to touch fifty thousand milk producers

each week.

attended by about fifty business men

of Detroit, leaders of farm organiza-

, OURISTS, let ”me state here, who.

intend a trip through 'Cloverland

this summer—nand‘there are very many

who do, according to the inquiries re:

ceived at the ‘Ma-rqn'ette ofilce cf the

Upper Peninsula Development Bureau

——should understand that frequently,

the most attractive. camp-sites, and

points of scenic beauty and for fish-

ing, do not lie directly on the main

trunk-line routes, but, like Eagle Har—

bor and Copper Harbor, are at the

dead end of the highway. The extrem-

ity of the Keweenaw Peninsula, reach-

ed along Highway No. 15, is one of.

the most beautiful regions in Michi-

gan, rugged and wild, an old, abandon-

ed -mining‘country. There are rocks,

lakes, waterfalls, trout streams, exten—

sive second-growth woodlands, and

Lake Superior, with its sometimes

magnificent shore—line, on either side.

Or take the Skanee district .east of

Huron Bay, reached by way of L’Anse,

and the Huron’ Mountain country be-

yond it. The falls of the Au Train in

Alger county, are close to the main

road to Munising, but none would

guess their presence, if uninstructed.

The river tumbles over a steep lime~

stone slope, where the Cleveland-Cline

Iron Company has a. power develop-

ment. The gorge below is beautiful,.

and a flood of delicious spring water

pours out of the limestone cliffs at its

side, affording an ideal situation for

a camp-site, and this is provided.

There are many other such points

known to residents, which the piker

will not want to miss, if he cares for

the beauties of nature rather than see-

ing how many miles he can get' over

in a day with damage to his nervous

system and pocket-book and nothing



to show for it.





 





FISH IN CLOVERLAND.





 





HE New Englanders used to speak

of the ocean as their “farm,” and

the same may equally be said of the

upper great lakes. As a farm which

can be worked in the winter, as it is

now often worked, lakes Superior

" Michigan and Huron Offer real oppor-

tunities for making a good living, and

the Michigan Fish Commission in one

of'its former reports isresponsible for

the statement that an acre of water

will produce more than an acre of

land. It must be said, however, that

with the lakes, as with the land, their

natural productivity is diminishing,

and require replenishment. That is the

reason for the demand for a new and

enlarged hatchery at Sault Ste. Marie

either on Michigan’s own account or

in association with the adjacent prov-

ince of Ontario, Canada.



The time was when Lake Superior

whitefish cost two and a half to five

cents per pound. Indeed, there was a

time when the Indians caught them

with their hands in the rapids at the

800. It is not like that now, and it is

hoped that the fish commission, or the





 





 





new conservation commission will do

the trick that will help to restock our

depleted fish supplies in the great

lakes and interior Waters. With this

in view one hears little local opposi-

tion to the proposed rod license law

for domestic fishermen, when the re-

turns are to go to the propagation Of

a new]. fish supply for Michigan. One

.fish commissioner referred enthusias-

tically to the new fish hatchery in

process of erection at .Manisthue on

the-Lake Michigan shore, to be one of

the finest in the world.- he says, and

N recognition of the fact that Gage.

bic county is “grown up,” as Dr.

Sigurd Nelson, of Ironwood, expressed

it, a county historical society was or-

ganized last winter.'There are already

similar organizations in the copper

country, Marquette, Delta, Menominee, l

Chippewa and a few other counties

north of the Straits—some of them

the most active and well supported in

the state in the [judgment of the Mich—

igan Historical Commission. It is prop— ,

er work for such a society to preserve

books and records relating to the his-





tory of the county, collect biographical





material, hold meetings at which pa-



pers on historical subjects are ‘read,



place markers at points of historic in-



terest in the county, and to cooperate



with the Michigan Historical Commis-



sion in whatever will promote local



historical study and interest. Some



large collections of local historicalma-



terial have already been built up in



northern Michigan counties, notably in



the copper country and Marquette



county, with donations and funds gath-



ered in from membership dues and



other sources. Gogebic is a large and



important mining and agricultural



and mining county. Its mining devel- ,



opment is less than a half-century old,



but much has transpired there that ' i.



ought to be permanently recorded, and ‘



the inauguration of this latest histori- ' .



cal society in Cloverland is very cams



mendable. ' ' .

LOADING pens for several thousand

between the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.



Paul Railway and the Chicago 8r.



Northwestern, are being installed for



the use of the Triangle Rranch near



Amasa, Iron county. Ranch No. 1 has



some 1,400 acres of-tillable land and



meadows to furnish feed for the stock : . , _

of the ranch, it is stated. Roads into " =



the ranch and fourteen miles of fenc- :

ing have been built during the past i

season, and material for twenty miles



of additional fencing has been assem-



bled, _is the report. Several camp

buildings, are up and others in the



process of erection. It is said to be



the purpose of the owners to construcr _ ..

a saw-mill in the spring to provide

lumber" for the ranch. Logs are now " I .\

ready for sawing. Eventually tame , '

grasses will be sown on cleared land.



The manager of the ranch is said'to



regard brushing the land and sowing. '



of tame grasses as a pre-requisite to

success in ranching in this country. . f4.

He states that native woods grasses "

have less fattening qualities than tame

varieties. He insists that it is aseasy

to winter~cattle here as on the west-

ern range. It is a problem of shelter;

but material for constructing, shelters

is amply at hand. But ventilation and

“Now, sir,” said the old lawyer, “I

feel like talking. Let’s see, you gave

your man Hayes orders to carry the

. work right along as though nothing



had happened, didn’t you? And the

sheriff is to go back the day after to-

morrow to arrest two or three Balls

and two or three Torreys, to see what

he can find out concerning the dyna-

miting of the two buildings and the

trestle—today was not a good time to



. make the arrests. Am I correct?”



“Correct,” nodded Dale.



Bradley regarded his cigar thought-

fully.



_ “Now,” he said in a low tone, sud-

denly lifting his gaze to the other’s

face, “tell me about the thing that

brought you here. Don’t omit even'the

slightest detail. Nobody can overhear

you if you will hold your voice down.

These walls are very thick, you see.

Well, you may bgin.” ,



In carefully guarded tones, Bill Dale

gave a straightforward account of the

whhle unfortunate occurrence. The

' major listened intently to every word

of it, so intently that he allowed his

cigar to go out. Often he stopped his

client and asked him to repeat certain



.portions of the story in order that he

might be doubly sure of a point. Dale’s

cigar, too, was black and cold long be-

fore he, had finished.



As Major Bradley rose to ask the

jailer to come and let him out, Dale

muttered downheartedly:



“Tell me, major: what do you think

of my case? It looks rather bad,

doesn’t it?"



“Not bad enough to warrant your

feeling blue over it, my boy!” said

Bradley, showing his polished white

teeth in a smile that was meant to be

reassuring. “I think we’ll get you out

of it. Anyway, don’t worry about it.

Worry will kill a cat, they say! You

didn’t kill Adam Ball. John Moreland

had taught you how to shoot pretty

well; and if you took even half as

careful an aim as you think you did,

you couldn’t have missed Ball’s hat by

so much.



“I have an idea, Dale,” he resumed,

“that if we knew who fired that third

shot we’d know who did for Ball. It

might have been done in order to save

you. Ball was noted, I understand, as

in unfair and tricky fighter. He might

have been trying to trick you when

he rose and fell groaning. Perhaps he

meant to draw you into the open, that

he might have a clean shot at you.

Eh?”



Dale shook his head gloomily.



“Hardly plausible, major. In that





 





ifiiinumufiiifmnnummuuli





 





event there was nothing against the





.man whose bullet finished Ball, be-





cause he did it to save me; and he

would have owned to it and prevented

my arrest. A man who liked me well

enough to kill Ball to, save my life

would like me well enough to confess

and save me from suffering for it. I

am sure of that, major.”



“Ah, my boy,” smiled the older of

the two,” you den’t yet know the moun-

tain heart. Jail is a terrible thing to

the liberty-loving mountaineer. But

love of you, and love of fair-dealing,

will soon overcome the fear of jail,

and you will be freed—if what I very

strongly suspect proves to be well

founded. I’ll leave you now, Dale. I’ll

see you in the morning, sir. Good-

night!”



When his optimistic attorney had

gone, Dale glanced once more at the

to him miserable line from Dante’s

“Inferno,” and began to remove his

outer clothing preparatory to going to

bed. He did not feel anything like so

confident concerning the outcome of

his trial as Major Bradley evidently

felt. Then he became even more de-

jected, and he told himself that the

major had spoken reassuringly merely

to help him keep up heart.



The night passed, and another bright

summer day dawned, and in the Cart-

ersville jail there was one prisoned

who had not slept at all. Each of those

long and heavy black hours had been

an age to this prisoner to whom jail

was so new.



At noon a furious Windstorm, accom-

panied by much vivid lightning and

blinding rain, sprang out of the west

and began to sweep the countryside,

and out of the lowering wet gloom

there came one to deliver Bill Dale.

He was a mountaineer, young and stal-

wart and strong, and about him there

was much of that certain English fine-

ness that was so striking in his father.





He entered the low, square building

of brick and stone and stopped in the

center of the corridor, where he stood,

while water ran from his wet clothing

and gathered in little pools at his’feet,

and looked to his right and to his left.

Dale saw him, and cried out in sur-

prise:



“Caleb!”



Caleb Moreland walked straight, his

head up and his shoulders back, a

Splendid picture of virile young man-

hood, to the end of the corridor. He

gripped two of the door’s hated bars.

bars that had long been worn smooth

by other human hands; he pressed his

smoothly shaven, sunburned face

against the iron, and smiled.



“How are ye a-feelin’ by this time,

Bill? It’s some hell of aplace, ain’t it,

now?”



Dale took a step toward him. “Well,

a queen’s boudoir is nicer. What are

you doing here, Cale ?”



“I’ve come to set you free,” said

Caleb Moreland.



Dale stared unbelievingly. “But that

is impossible, Cale. How could you

set me free ?”



“Call Tom Flowers, and I’ll sight

ye.”



From the door of his office, Sheriff

Flowers had been silently watching

the mountaineer. Dale called, and the

officer came immediately. Caleb More-

land turned from the cell door and

faced him.



“I’ve come here to own up to the

killin’ 0’ Black Adam Ball,” began the

young hilolman-



He swallowed, went a trifle pale un-

der his tan, and continued bravely:



“Bill Dale thar, he never done it. I

am the one ’at done it. Bill he shot at

Adam, but he missed——Adam had done

shot at Bill fust, y’onderstand, Tom.

But I didn’t miss. I don’t never miss.

I’m a plumb tombstone shot. They

allus rules me out at any shootin’

match. I’d ha’ owned up to it yeste’-

day, but the thought 0’ jail had me

skeered bad. I jest cain’t let as good

a man as Bill Dale thar suffer fo’ a

thing I done myself. So ,you let him

out, Tom, and put the right man in

thar.”



Flowers had a good heart, and this

touched it. But he was not very much

surprised.



“Tell us about it,

quested. ,



Caleb locked toward Dale, then he

faced the lord,of Cartersville's little

prison again.



“Well, shuriff, when I seed Bill Dale

go off toward the trustle by hisself

and alone, I knowed right then he was

in danger o’ bein’ laywayed by some

0’ them thar lowndown Balls and Cher-

okee Torreys. So I decides to foller



atter him and gyard him, without him

a~knowin’ anything about it, which

same I done. When he met Adam

.Ball—”



He broke off abruptly. There was

a rather shrewd twinkle in his clear

grey eyes.



“Go on,” urged Flowers.



“I reckon I won’t,” smiled Caleb, and

his eyes were still twinkling. “I reck-

on I won’t do no more talkin’ jest now.

’an by any other way.‘ Yes, I reckon

the proper place fo’ me to do my big

talkin’ is in the‘co’te-house at my trial.

Lock me up, will ye, Tom?” ,



“We’ll see,” said Flowers.



Forthwith he despatched a deputy

for Judge Carter and Major Bradley,

who hastened to the jail. .



An hour later Caleb Moreland was

the occupant of the cell at the end of

the whitewashed corridor, and Dale,

was mounting his bay horse Fox to

ride back into the heart of the ever-4

lasting hills. .The rain had gone as

quickly as it had come, and the skies

were once more blue and bright. Ev-

erywhere there was the lazy‘droning

of wild bees and the sweet odor of

honeysuckles.



'He arrived two hours after night-

fall. The Morelands Were glad to see

him, and the Littlefords were glad to

see him. There was rejoicingthere in

the broad Valley that lies between

David Moreland’s Mountain and the

Big Pine. Everybody had been expect-

ing him, and many were the pairs of

eyes that had been watching for him.

He found himself suddenly wishing,

with. a tightening at his throat, that

his father could know how much big-

ger and how much better it was tobe

thus esteemed than to be wealthy.





Luke took charge of his tired horse

and led it away to the old log barn

and to some fifteen ears of yellow

corn. Luke's father then escorted him

proudly, the guest of honor, in to one

of Addie Moreland’s incomparable old-

fashioned suppers, which was none the

worse for being late. Several Little-

fords sat at the long, home-made table.





John Moreland turned up the light a.





little, and cracked a worn but timely '





joke; then he looked toward one of

the men whom he had fought through-

out many years, and muttered into his

thick brown beardzu



“Saul, friend, will ye do us the favor

o’ axin’ the blessin,’ ef ye please?”



“‘Shore, John, 0’ course.”



Saul Littleford, the very illiterate,

laced his big fingers together across

his plate, bent his head, and told the

good Almighty that they were all very

much obliged to Him for the fine sup-

per they had before them, for Addie

Moreland who had cooked it, for peace,

and for Bill Dale.



It was almost midnight when the

visitors left. They had been sitting

outside, on the honeysuckle-scented

front porch and in the cabin yard. At

that nobody seems to be grieving over }





Caleb’s being in’ jail?”



The big hillman’s answer came al-

most sharply: “No Moreland ever

grieves over a sacrifice, Bill.”



Dale Sat up straight. “A sacrifice!

What do youmean?”



This time the big hillman’s answer

came slowly. “I mean ’at Cale he’s

a-takin" all 0’ the load off 0’ yore shoul-

ders (’at he can.' Cale he’s a takin’

doubted that fo’ one little minute, Bill.

But it wasn’t all done fo’ yo’re sake.

You’re the hope 0’ the Morelands, and

you can do a heap more here ’an Caleb

can.”



He leaned toward Bill Dale and went

in a confidential tone:



“And I- can tell ye this here: ef you

are found guilty 0’ killin’ Adam Ball,

and sentenced fo’ even one year, the

Morelands and the Littlfords is a-goin’

to take ye from the officers and turn

ye loose with a good, long start on the

“Wouldn't that be rather—”



Dale broke off because he had seen

the tall figure of a man appear in the

open gateway.

he spoke.



“Hello, John Moreland ”



“Hello yeself!” growled Moreland,

who was not at all pleased at the in-

terruption. g



Heck advanced, carrying his rifle by

its muzzle. He halted with one foot

on the stone step.



“I’ve got news fo’ ye, Bill," he said,

recognizing Dale even in the darkness;

“I’Ve been a—eavesdrappin’ up at old

Ball’s house, and I had to choke about

ten dawgs to death to do it. All 0’ my

fingernails is tangled up wi' dawg—halr.

Bill, old boy, them, Balls has done

swore by everything on earth and in

Heaven and in Torment ’at they’ll kill

you of the law don’t. And them low-

down Cherokee Torreys is all with the

Balls. Igo, ye’d better watch out, Bill.”



John Moreland rose from his chair.



“Much obleeged to ye, By. And good-

night to ye. Le’s go into the house,

Bill. I didn’t think them polecats had

had that much narve—eand I don’t hard-

ly believe it yit. It might ha.’ been

white licker a-talkin’. Their kind 0’

white licker ain’t hawnest, like By

Heck’s is, though his’n is bad enough.

Their kind’ll make a man resurrect his

dead inemies out o' the graveyard and

shoot ’em up all over ag’in. It ain't

a-goin’ to do a great deal 0’ harm,

Bill, of ye don’t light no lamp when

ye go to bed. A man cain’t never tell

jest What’s a—goin’ to happen.”



“And the Ball-Torrey outflt—" Dale

began, when the Moreland chief

cut in:



"Ef the Ball- Torrey outfit pesters

you, they’ re every one purty durned

'ally in this section as the rifle-bullet

0 kill flies by “swatting” is very



slow work and poor efficiency, to



say the least. It is true that a

great number can be exterminated in

this manner, but it is hardly worth

while. If a waterpipe burst in your

basement and started to flood your cel-

lar you would not start to bale it out.

The first thing you would do wold be

to stop the leak, and then set about

ridding the basement of water. So

why resort to swatting the fly when

they are breeding faster than you can

possibly stop them?



The thing to do first, is to find out

where they are breeding and then eith-

er dispose of it or else fill those that

are propagating there. After that is

done you can swat them if you wish,

or apply other remedies that are bet-

ter. Of course, if a few flies are both-

ersome by all means swat them if

need be, but don’t try to rid the entire

house in this manner. If you spent all

of your time doing this and nothing

else, you could not kill the progeny of

one pair of flies, to say nothing of the

_tens of thousahds that are breeding

in many places on the farm.





To begin with, there are at least

eight generations of flies in this lati-

tude. At the end of a month one fly

will have given rise to many millions

of progeny, while at the end of the

summer the number of offspring will

a female fly may deposit one hundred

and twenty to one hundred and fifty

eggs at a time and as she has been

laying six hundred eggs. But to be

real conservative, we will say that a

fly lays an average of just one- hun-

dred eggs. When tnese hatch and

reach maturity we will assume that

half of them are males and half fe-

males, which giveslus at the end of

the first generation just fifty egg-lay-

ing females. At this rate there will be

produced at the end of the eighth gen-

eration, abOut 1,875,000,000,000 adult

flies.



Now if some real ambitious person

would undertake the job of killing

these flies with a fly-swatter he would

find quite a job ahead of him. If he

would kill them at the rate of one ev-

' he would have taken the lives of 5,760





as a day’s work, while at the end of a

year his record would be

flies. But this only gets rid of the pro-

geny of one pair of flies. Think of the

vast numbers that are present early in

the season and if each of these are as

prolflc as the one just mentioned, it

would be an endless job.



The uselessness or swatting flies is

then very apparent and should not be

depended upon alone. Stop the leak

at its source. Kill the flies where they

breed. The earlier they are extermi-

nated the fewer there will be to con—

tend with later and every week’s delay

means justrso many more to be taken

care of later on. -Protect the garbage

and other refuse from the flies and.

ROASTING EARS lN MID-WINTER.





 





HAT sounds good, and here is how

you may have them, almost as nice

and fresh as the day they were picked.

Gather the ears the same day they

are to be canned. Remove all husk

and silk, then put in boiling water and

cook for ten minutes. Next blanch by

immersing in cold water for several

minutes. Use half gallon fruit jars,

fill them as full as possible with the

ears of corn, then finish filling them

by pouring in cold Water. To each.

half-gallon of the canned roasting ears

add two teaspoonfuls of salt. Now put;

on the'rubbers and lids and screw

down as tight; as possible with the

hand, place them in the boiler with

enough cold water to cover the lids,

and after the water is brought to the

boiling point continue to keep it boil-r

ing for three hours, then take a. cap

wrench and screw the lids down perv

fectly tight.



When the roasting ears are to be ‘

served remove from the can, place in

a bread pan and set in the oven until ,

warm, then serve with seasoning to

suit the taste. This is a thoroughly

tried recipe. We have used it- in our

home for two years—J. C. B.

'if they do not get it.





. Both these are vital.





 





trng





' N the third chapter of Ephesians,

St. Paul has much to say about

strong men. He offers a prayer,



one of the most Wonderful prayers ev-~

er uttered, asking that the Christians





to whom he is writing may be

“strengthened with power ” Now the'





word power as used here has the same





‘meaning as we get from the words





dynamo and dynamite. It is to be

vital power, mighty power, explosive

power, that these people are to have.

At least that kind of power is within

their reach, and it will be a great pity

Look at the

waves of Lake Michigan as they roll

toward the shore. It is done with ease

and rush, and yet there is force there,

as the swimmer knows. Look at the

rain.’ It comes as easily as you'talk,





but the weight of a’single shower runs.

' into the thousands of tons.





This. strength, says the apostle, is

to come to us through the Spirit of

God. ‘People are afraid of the Spirit.

They fear that if they talk much about

it they will become too pious. They

have known queer people who talked

a good deal about the Holy Spirit. But

there is nothing to fear. The Spirit is

simply- God in action. We know more

about the operations of the Spirit now

than we did a few years ago. We now





.know that the man who allows the





Spirit of God to function through him

is going to be a happier man, a more

efficient man, a healthier man, and a

better man, than the one who does

not. It is God working in us.





OME day go to the town or town-



ship library and get the life of

William Wilberforce. William Wilber-

force was a hunchback. He was as

small and distorted and shrivelled a.

man as ever was elected to the British

Parliament. He had a squeaky voice.

Yet no man was more listened to, and

no man accomplished more in his time

than Wilberforce. He was the man

who brought about the liberation of all

slaves in the British Empire. How did

he do it? The only answer I know is,

that early in life he met God, and for

forty years he tried daily to let God

energize through him, and accomplish

his own good purposes.



The seat of the Spirit in us is the

“inward man.” That is, the conscience

or the soul. Education often stresses

the cultivation of the brain, and ath-

letics the development of the body.

But a man may

be educated and be a villain. He may

be a giant and be nothing more than

a professional weight-lifter. But when

the soul is changed, the whole man is

affected, mind and body, will and

spirit.





ND Paul goes on to state that the

object of all this is, that Christ





shall “dwell in our hearth through

faith.”

, tween a hunter and a settler.





There is a great difference be-

A hunt-

er stays over night. He builds a fire,

sleeps in his tent, and is gone in a day

or two. But the settler does not do

that way. He comes and stays. He

brings his axe and plow, his team, his

cow, his chickens and above all, his





. family. He cuts a hole in the forest





and plants some crops. He has come

to stay. Now, Christ’s home is in the

soul. Many will not have him, but





.that is where He loves to stay. And





He wants to stay there, not as a vis-





itor, but as a settler. He comes as

' friend and as Lord. A primeval un-

broken forest is beautiful.





But a set-

Nowin all this we are to be root-

ed ‘and grounded in love." This is com-

paring the whole matter with trees

and buildings. A tree is well rooted.

Otherwise it could not stand. Watch

an elm battling with arwinter storm.





The roots are on duty. Like sailors .

called to the pumps, the roots are de-~





termined they shall not be vanquished.

They seem to say to the wind, “Come

on.” The limbs writhe and leap be-

neath the force of the wind, but the

tree stands. It is deeply rooted.'Turn

to the building. Once I passed for

many weeks a corner where an office

building was to be built. I thought

they would never stop digging. For

days the steam shovel dug and dug.

Then came quicksand and they must

go deeper. The excavation looked

more like the mouth of a mine than

the foundation of a building. But at

last they began to build. Basement,

one story, two, four, six, ten, twelve,

sixteen stories. The building did not

lean. One side did not crack. It

stood as straight and proud as the

heart of its architect. One day it was

opened to the public and today thou-

sands press into its elevators every

‘day. It went down deep so that it

might go up high. “Rooted and

grounded." St. Paul says we are to

be rooted and grounded in love.





0W everyone knows what love is.



It is not necessary to explain that.

The little boy who puts his arms

around mother’s neck knows what it

is. We all know what it is. And that

is the secret of Christianity—love.

Mark you, the Bible is accurate.

There are two different words for love

in the New Testament. One means to

love, as husband or wife, or taro very

close friends. The other means to

have utmost good will for people, to

want to do them good. That is the

word used here. We are to be rooted

and grounded in abundant, overflowing

goodwill toward people.



The passage closes with the hope

that we shall be strong enough to un-

derstand as the saints do, about the

will of God. Most folk do not count

the saints as very strong. Saints are

supposed to be weak, watery beings.

But Paul figures that one must be a

soldier with a real stride if he is to

keep step with the saints. That will

be a new idea to some people. But,

'look at one or two of them. Elijah is

a saint, and he battles single-handed

with four hundred fanatical heathen

priests. Would you call him a strong

man? Jeremiah tells his nation it is

going to hell, and going fast. He suf-

fers imprisonment and shame. Shall

we label him saint and strong man? I

stood one day where Savanarola was

burned to death—and I took off my

hat. Savanarola was also saint and

strong man. 0, there is an army of

them. They are big fellows, mighty

men. They have God in their souls.

Without them the world would putre-

fy, or dry up with the dry rot of self-

sufficiency. A saint is a strong man,

and that is the company we are to

travel in. We, too, are to be strong.

There is no excuse for weakness.



One day I was in a village, and I

passed 'the bank. On the window it

said the capital was half a million. I

could not believe that a small bank

like that would have such a capital.





'Then I read below that this bank was





a branch of a large bank in the city.

That is the way with us all. We may

be branches of the great Vine, and so

draw on the great, capital that is there

stored up. . -

Success that is Success

T lungs W art/z Worbng For by Bay:- and Gzr/r

By Edgar L. Vincent ‘





HE world has little use for the



boy or girl who does not, in his



heart of hearts, want to win out

in the things that count for most. A

shoe string is a pretty poor sort of a

thing to depend upon, but it is a steel

cable compared to a young man or

woman who has no big dream of suc-

cess in some line or other.



Ask a hundred men of the present

day what, in their opinion, is the great-

est need of the times, and ninety-nine

of them will tell. you, “We need men

——good men, and women, women that

can and will .do everything they under-

take, right.” The one-hundredth man

no doubt would say, “We need men

with lots of‘ money. Men of means

can do everything.” With these men,

“money makes the mare go.” But

while the mare is going, the money is

usually going, too, and pretty fast; for

the man who depends solely onyhis

money to win him success will not win

any success that is worth winning. '



What, then, is success that is suc-

cess? Shall we leave the moneyen-

tirely out of the question? Is it not a

help in life? It surely is. The man

who would say otherwise would not be

speaking the truth. We need money.

Primarily, our efforts in this world are

directed toward the acquirement . of

money or something that can be turn—

ed into money. As the social world

goes, money is a power.

the highest good in life. Back of the

money must be the determination to

use what We get wisely and for the

best good of ourselves, of those who

are dear to Us and of mankind.



Now, it is success to become a good

farmer. A boy told me the other day

that many thought he was a fool for

quitting school and going to work on

a. farm. “But,” he added, “I am learn-

ing every day. I will get to be as

good an all-round farmer right here on

the farm, so that I know as much

about how to do farm work as I would

if I went to school. I can’t go to an

agricultural school now, but I can

learn as I earn.”



That was a fine declaration of prin-





_ ciples and .it will, if put into practice,





bring success as a farmer.





It is success to be an interested, up-

to-date member of a good cattle club,

or a sheep club or a poultry club or

any kind of a club that is working for

the betterment of any of the farm

creatures. A boy or girl may put the

very best there is. in him or her into

his work in any of these lines. All

that is done to develop ‘the finer quali—

ties of the cows or the hogs or the

sheep has a tremendous value in work-

ing out for the young person thus en-

gaged a character worth more than all

the money that could be stacked up

under the blue dome of heaven. Char-

acter counts, for character teaches the

right use of- the material things we

gain.



So this is Uncle Ed’s thwought Re-

member it, if everything else is for-

gotten. Success is manhood and worn-

anhood—genuine manhood, genuine

womanhood. All the rest we get out

of the farm, or anywhere else,‘is con-

tributory to success or detrimental to

it, according as we put it into service

in the building of real manhood,



Now, there are a few stepping stones

to success such as we have been talk-

ing about. In the first place, the right

kind of thinking. You never can think

low and reach’ up high. Every right

thought, every kindly action, no mat-





 





But it is not





ter whether expressed toward man. the flame or





cow, calf, lamb or heh, lifts you a bit

higher toward your goal.



And then, good books and papers

have their

mighty influence, too—in' working out.

true success. The book or the paper

that makes one think things and do

them is a big boost up the hill of con-—

quest.

papers a. boy or a girl reads and I will

forecast his future for him, x





Best of all, keep your heart true and





honest toward Father and Mother.

Love them. Think with them‘in all

right ways. Be to them a support and.

a tower of strength. They are worthy

of it and you cannot afford to leave-

any spot or place unguarded in your

love for them and the old home. Love

home, love those in it, love the com~

munity, love the nation. Defend them

all with might and main! .Do this and

you are bound to succeed!

OCKERELS that are saved for

. breeding require fully as much at-

tention as pullets as these males must

also make a steady, vigorous growth

it they are to be the kind of birds suit-

able for breeding. Cockerels should be

culled frequently after they have

, reached the broiler age "and this culling

Should be continued throughout the

season until the birds remaining are

all good enough to head breeding pens

either on the home farm or in the

hands of other poultrymen.





It is best not to isolate the cocker-





els entirely from mature hens or old

males. A large flock of cockerels pen-

ned together will be apt to fight and

this may cause serious blemishes that

will injure the sale of the birds for

breeders. They can be allowed to run

with a few mature hens and one or

more cock birds.’ The old stock will

keep down the fighting instincts of the

cockerels and they will be more sub-

dued in disposition and more satisfac-

tory as breeders when they are plac-

ed with hens or pulelts in the spring.

However, a large flock of cockerels

should not be permitted to range with

pullets which are being developed rap-

idly as egg producers. These young

males are rough around the feed hop-

pers and it is bad for the pullets.

Cockerels need a balanced ration.

They must have the kind of food

which produces bone and muscle as

well as fat. The poultryman wishes

his cockerels to attain size in order

that they may transmit that character-

istic to their offspring. The large

Quantity of feathers which the bird

grows need the materials in- a balanced

ration so that the feathering process

will proceed rapidly. Corn should not

be fed exclusively to the breeding

cockerel, but it should be combined

with, boiled oats, sour milk and wheat

screenings when they can be obtained.

A dry mash containing bran in large

quantities will be useful in promoting

rapid growth. Ground bone and beef

scrap are of special value and very

necessary when there is not an abund—

ance of sour milk. Green food is im—.

portant if the birds are fenced on a

range deficient in all kinds of green

food and it must be supplied. The ra-

tion that is good for the growing pul-

lets is good for the cockerels and just

because the pullets are to produce

eggs is no reason why they should re-

ceive heavy feeding and the cockerels

should get along on short rations.

There is little danger in overfeeding

growing cockerels if they are given a

variety of food. There is a danger of

underfeeding them and finding a 001-

lection of partially stunted birds to go

into the breeding pens next spring.





CONTROLLING BOWEL TROUBLE.‘





I





OMETIME ago I saw an inquiry in

the Michigan Farmer for a cure

for blackhead in turkeys. Your writer

says there is no cure. I am so suc-

cessful with my treatment that I call

it a cure.

When I find a turkey refusing to eat,

.- with bowels loose, I shut him up, not

in too close quarters, and give him

water with 'carbolic acid. One pint of

water and three drops of carbolic acid

will do. No other water should be

given. If he does not drink it, put

'three or four teaspoonfuls down him,

two or three times a day. *Feed no

loom, but keep a little moistened bread.

' , alittle wheat and some gravel before

‘him. Apple, cabbage, grass he will





icy-lent, but as his appetite comes back to.





 





 





him do} not feed, too much.

g'When. the droppings begin to look .

' oi lat *himhalve what -he wants.-





 





‘ “ATheBreeding *Cockerels 'O





~ By G. K. Riley





eht‘d’o his or'fher' utmostrto encourage





If he is rather weak 'when turned

out, watch that the other turkeys do

not get him down and trample him to

death. I have not tried this treatment

on young turkeys as I drive my tur-

keys to the fields when they are two

weeks old and they seldom come to

the house before September, or some-

times in November.



This treatment is good for chickens

with cholera or any bowel trouble.



Mns. M. N. BRYANT.





CAN TH E ROOSTE RS.





HIS is the time of the year to swat

the rooster again. That is, swat

him if you are interested in having

the eggs from your flock remain fresh.

What shall be done with him or

them? Those roosters that are to be

used as breeders later should be plac-

ed in a separate pen, or even in a well

ventilated, clean coop. The cull roost-

ers may be killed and canned accord—

ing to directions for canning furnished

by the extension service of the Ohio

State University. This places a sup-

ply of chicken'in the housewife’s hands

for that unexpected guest. It also stops

the expense of feeding to a later date

for killing. Another method of dispos~

ing of the cull rooster is selling them

to your local dealer. '





CHICKS WITH sons Eves.





I have about ninety R. I. R. incu-

bator chicks two weeks old. They

have killed several chicks by pecking

each other’s eyes. At one time there

were twenty-five afflicted. Apparently

the lower lid gets a scale on it which

the chicks pick off, leaving an exposed

sore and‘in a few minutes they have

nearly blinded the chick. Have notic-

ed two that had a watery discharge

from the beak. Otherwise the chicks

seem normal. If not too badly hurt,

isolation and peroxide have proved ef-

fective for the wounded chicks. But

why should the chicks behave so and

can you suggest a remedy? R. B. C.



Chicks sometimes have sore eyes be-

cause of dusty litter in the brooder

house. Coalcburning brooder stoves

make the house very dry and the

scratching of the birds will keep the

air full of dust. The watery discharge

may be from slight colds caused by

crowding and overheating, followed by

slight chilling. Chicks may peck at

each other’s eyes for want of other

things to attract their attention. When

they have plenty of range outside they

can keep busy running and scratching

and seldom pay as much attention to

each other as when closely‘ confined

in the brooder house. The .peroxide

wash you have used may control the

trouble and it will not. appear as the

chicks become a little older and can

range where green food and worms

are abundant—R. G. K.

In view of the remarkable success

Milk Campaign



,T is most surprising how much op«



portunity there is for the increase



of milk consumption in our rural

communities. There prevails a- very

general notion which is, fairly well

supported by unofficial statistics, that

the country mike consume less milk

per eapita than do the city people.

This evidence led to a general move-

ment designed to stimulate the use of

dairy prdducts in rural places and the

results of the first campaign conduct~

ed will be of interest to consumers as

well as producers.



During May the message of milk,

the fundamental food,‘was carried in-

to'every home in 'Walworth county,

Wisconsin. The campaign was con-

ducted by the Walworth C.ounty Farm

Bureau, the National Dairy Council,

the Wisconsin Dairy Council, and .the

Wisconsin College'of Agriculture. Mr.

W. A. Foster, secretary of the farm

bureau, was the man behind the gun.



Full cooperation was received from

everybody—(the mayors issued procla-

mations, the schools made milk post-

ers and staged the “Milk Fairy Play,”

the business men dressed their win-

dows in' “milk attire”—using the very

splendid posters made by the schools

and the National "Dairy Council; they

also tied their advertisements up with

the milk week propaganda; the nine

newspapers carried feature articles

and advertisements; the picture shows

cooperated in running milk films and

slides; the local citizens gave support,

likewise the women’s clubs, churches,





county. .



One month before the campaign

commenced a survey of 1,613 repre-

sentative school children from ‘rural

schools was made, which showed the

following interesting and startling

facts:



680 drink tea and coffee regularly——

averaging 1.5 cups daily.



980 drink milk regularly-averaging

2.1 cups each.



268 drink no milk at all.



365 drink milk occasionally.



241 use no butter.





During the milk week there were

ninety-two meetings held, addressed

by sixteen speakers, furnished by the

organizations conducting the campaign.

Preparatory to the mass meetings held

each evening, oftim'es a parade was

held. .



The closing of the campaign came

on Saturday at the county seat, where

the band furnished music during the

entire day, and where bread, butter

and cheese sandwiches and ice cream

cones were given away to nearly ten

thousand people, who gathered for the

festivities. Among other attractions,

came the milk fairy play, which was

staged in the open in a very beautiful

and pleasing manner.





ed, but preliminary reports indicate

the campaign brought the following re-

sults: -,



1. An increase of twenty-two per





home consumption.



_ 2. An increase of nineteen per cent

in consumption of butter. ,

. An increase of eighteen per cent

in consumption of fluid milk. '



4. An increase of thirty per cent in

consumption of cheese.



5. A falling off of thirty-four per

cent in the sale of socalled butter

substitutes. ' ‘



This seems to be the first county in





the United States to put on a. milk





hensive a basis. The need of such-

. campaigns is very evident and the re-

Chronic Indigestion—I bought a»





calf in the fall of 1919; he failed to

thrive the first winter and when spring

.camc‘he was thin. Last summer he

did not do well, but gained in flesh a

little, but this spring he is in bad

shape I fed him silage, corn stover,

grain and stock food during the wint-

er. F. L.. Vanderbilt, Mich—Mix equal

parts of powdered gentian, red cin-

chona, fenugreek, baking soda, salt,

and give a tablespoonful or two at a

dose twice a day. Grass is the best

food.



8idebone.——I have a valuable horse

that is lame in left front leg. Our vet—

erinary tells me the lameness is caus-

ed by sidebone, but if this be true, the

bunch is small.

ter, the horse is no better. Would you

advise firing? E. L. T., Alto, Mich.—

Apply one part iodine and ten parts

fresh lard to the bunch two or three

times a week. Lower his heels and

give shoe rolling motion.



Indigestion—Have a cow that came

fresh four weeks ago which. is not

thriving. She seems to be most fond

of dry oat straw. F. C. H., Clarion,

Mich—Give her one pound of epsom

salts as a cathartic, then give her one

ounce of powdered gentian at a dose

twice a day. Grass is the best feed

for her.



Malignant Sore—About the middle

of last summer a sore came on the

fore part of cow’s udder, which has

never healed. A crust forms, or a sort

of scab comes on top of sore. W. C.

P., Beaverton, . Mich—Apply equal

parts of oxide of zinc and boric acid

to sore twice a day. Occasiopally ap‘

ply tincture of iodine. In my practice

I frequently burn a sore of this kind

with a red hot iron; this stimulates a

healthy action, then wound heals.





Muscular Rheumatism.-—We have a

black cow six years old. Just before

a storm she shows lameness in right

fore and left hind legs. She has bunch

on knee, also losther last calf. R. B.,

Homer, Mich—Give her a teaspoonful

of nitrate of potash in feed or water

three times a day, during stormy and

changeable weather.





Failure to Come in Heat.—~I have

four cows that fail to come in heat,

but everyone of them seem to be in

perfect health. R. H. M., Harbor Beach,

Mich—Give each cow forty grains of

ground nux vomica and sixty grains of

ground capsicum in feed twice a day.





Stiff Pigs—Have a litter of pigs

that are four months old, which are

still? and sore.~ The hind legs of one

swelled and it died. E. D. Y., Linden,

Mich.—-Give each pig five grains of

sodium salicylate at dose twice daily,

feed less corn.



Rheumatism.—Brood sow three and



a half years old is stiff and sore. She

is disinclined to walk, has generally

raised nice large litters of pigs, untiL

this fall. What had I better do with

her? Mrs. C. M., Springport, Mich.—

Give her ten—grain doses of salicylate

of soda three times a day. Her history

is such as to cause doubt regarding

her permanent recovery. Perhaps it

would be wise to market her to butch—

er. You have fed her too much corn.

She also lacks exercise.

- Weak Calf—Dead Twin Calves—We

have a cow that gave birth to a weak

calf last year. Calf came at proper

time but lived only a few .days. This

year she had twins, both came dead.

What had I better do with her? 1

might add that she is apparently in

good health. G. W. L., Jasper, Mich—-

If she is a good milk-producer and

profitable, breed her again; if not, fat-

ten and beef her.



Enlarged Withers—Eversion of

Uterus.—4Ever since harvest time the

withers of my five—year-old mare has

been considerably enlarged. Veteri-

nary cut into bunches, found no pus.

Had applied liquid blister, also blue

vitriol, neither seemed to help. His

general health is good. Have a three—

yeanold cow that had eversion of

Womb when she last calved, will she

per ton in cal-lots at Detroit.





WHEAT





Wheat prices declined sharply dur-

ing the past week largely as a result

of country offerings of the new wheat

for early shipment. Cash wheat buy-

ers were disposed to await this move—

ment. from the southwest. Many farm—

ers are anxious to sell as soon as the

threshing starts, appearing to fear a

further decline later in the season.

How much of a decline will occur, it is

impossible to say, but no factor will

be of more importance than the rate

at which farmers sell. CrOp reports

during the past week have been unfav-

orable on the whole. Deterioration

from weather and insect pests have

been reported in Ohio and in the West-

ern states while drouth is threatening

spring wheat in the Dakotas and un-

confirmed reports of the serious spe-

cies of black rust have been sent in

from the same sections. Also early

threshing returns have been disap~

pointing in Kansas, Missouri and Ill-





inois.

CORN





The leading corn surplus states re-

port the new corn crop in unusually

fine condition thus far. Prices for

cash corn are not far above the lowest

point of the season but the market is





displaying a firm undertone as a dry





weather scare during July or August

which will advance prices is antici-





pated.

OATS





Some of the important oat-produc-

ing sections report dry weather dam-

age and the crop condition elsewhere

is spotted. Prices are expected to re-

spond to some extent to crop damage

although the stocks are unusually

large and the time is short until the

record acreage of new oats will be

ready for harvest. '





FEEDS





Millfeeds again displayed weakness

and are selling at the lowest prices in

eight years. Further declines have

been forecasted by some of the trade

interests as soon as new wheat begins

to be milled in volumes. Production

at present is light but demand is ex-

tremely slack as the result of good

pastures and the availability of new





hay.

HAY





Hay markets have been steady dur-





ing the past week, chiefly as a result"





of light receipts as the demand is far

from brisk. The harvest of new al-

falfa has been delayed by heavy rains

in Nebraska and parts of the south-





west. ..

WOOL





Wool market sales continue at a.

moderate rate at unchanged prices.

Mill activity continues and demand for

cloth is satisfactory but mills are buy-

ing wool only as- they book orders

since stocks of wools are large enough

to enable them to buy to advantage (in

short notice. Boston prices are as fol—

lows: Michigan and New York fleeces,

delaine unwashed 35@36c; fine un-

washed 300; half—blood unwashed 2960

30c; three-eighths blood unwashed 27

@2714c; quarter-blood unwashed 26c.





BUTTER





Butter prices advanced again last

week in spite of liberal receipts and

most of the advance was retained at

the close of the week. Consumptive

demand remains strong and buying for

storage is brisk except upon sharp up-

turns. Undergrades have been dispos-

ed of without difficulty as receipts of

these grades are running smaller than

usual for this season of the year.

Prices for 92~score fresh butter as





,Mixed hogs





quoted by the bureau of markets are:

Chicago 3234c; New York 33c. At De-

troit fresh creamery in tubs is quoted





at 290 per pound.

, EGGS AND POULTRY





Receipts of eggs at the four leading

cities/ declined substantially below the





preceding week and prices held un--





changed although the movement into

cold storage remains rather heavy.

Poultry receipts contracted and prices,

especially upon hens, advanced rather

sharply. '
