In his book, “Our Com- mon, Country,” just issued from the press, President Harding outlines his attitude to- ward the farmers’ movement, as represented by the American Farm Bureau Federatibn, the National Grange, and other organiza- tions, in the following words: “I believe‘ that ”the, American people, through their' government and otherwise, not only in behalf of the farmer~ but in be- half of their own welfare, and the pocket- books of the consumers, will encourage, ' make lawful, and stimulate cooperative buy- ing, cooperative distribution, and coopera- A: Fol/owing Statement S/za'w: tive selling of farm products. * * * The need 'of farm representatives in larger gov— ernmental affairs is recognized. During the past seven years the right of agriculture to a voice in government administration has been practically ignored, and at times the farmer has suffered grievously as a result. The farmer has a vital interest in our trade relations with other countries, in the admin- istration of our financial policies and in many of the larger activities of the govern- ment. His interests must be safeguarded by men who understand his needs, he must be actually and practically represented. “The right of farmers to form cooperative associations for the marketing of their prod- ucts must be granted. The concert of agri- culture is as essential to farmers as a sim- of Farmers’ Position ilar concert of action is to factories. A pros perous agriculture demands not only eifi ciency in production but efficiency in mar- keting. Through cooperative associations the route between the producer and the con- sumer can and must be shortened. Waste- ful effort can and must be avoided. Unneces~ sary expenses can and must be eliminated. It is to the advantage of all of our people that every public improvement be made in our methods of getting the products of our farms into the hands of the people who con- sume them. The legitimate functions of the middlemen may continue to be performed by private enterprise, under conditions where the middleman is necessary and gives his skill to our joint welfare. The parasite in distribution who preys on both producer and consumer must no longer sap the vital~ ity of this fundamental life." ' i I "'|_|l|’Ii!ilI1t"lli‘ll‘rAHIIJHIHHHWNHI H, 'ill'l‘KIH'.

NUMBER ELEVEN DETROIT, SEPTEMBER 10,1921 CURRENT COMMENT HE freight rate question is every- &{’road where conceded to be era," and one of the most im~ Hay Rates portant, if not the most important, of the economic problems confronting the country at the present time. The pres- ent high schedule of freight rates af- fect, directly or indirectly, the pros- perity of every industry and every per- son in the country. Realizing that the excessive cost of the distribution of foodstuffs, which falls heavily upon both the producer and the ultimate consumer, promises to cause a serious shortage of foodstuffs in the near fu- ture in addition to proving an almost insurmountable barrier to the prosper- ity of producers in sections of the country which are distant from the great distributing points and the mar- kets of ultimate consumption, a. move- ment to secure a substantial reduction in the freight rates on certain agricul- tural commodities was started in the middle west and has attained such substantial proportions that an appeal to! the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion for a reduction of twenty-five per cent on freight rates for grain and hay is now solidly backed by the govern- ments of fourteen states and the pow- erful agricultural bloc In congress. Hearings are now in progress on this case and the decision regarding same which will be forthcoming in the near future is certain to have far-reaching effects. The railroads, through their national association, are conducting a publicity campaign in an effort to acquaint the public with their side of the rate ques- tion which, briefly stated, is that a general reduction of labor costs must accompany a reduction in , freight rates if the railroads are to remain solvent and continue to serve the pub- lic. On the other hand, the labor lead- ers of the various railroad workers’ unions will undoubtedly bitterly op- pose any large reduction in wages at the present time. Indeed, there is a. possibility that these unions may re- fuse to accept the small cut made in the recent award of the United States Railway Labor Board as a result of a yote now being taken, although this is not generally expected. It thus appears that the situation is a very involved one, which it will be difficult to settle equitably and peace- ably, and as a result of which serious. -,complications are likely to result in the not distant future. The degree of regulation very properly exercised by the government over the railroads nec- essarily makes the government a pri- mary party to the settlement of this question, particularly in view 'of the contention of the railroads that a large part of their troubles are due to. the taking over of the railroads by the government as a war emergency meas- ure, although the opinion generally prevails in the public mind that there ,was not anything like onehundred per cent of cooperation on the part of rail- road ofl‘icials during the period of gov- ernment operation, for the effects. of which they are charged with respon- sibility and blame. As above noted, the importance of the pending case is far-reaching, since if the grain and hay producing inter- ests win their case there will undoubt- edly follow equally insistent demands for other commodity reductions. On the other hand, if the grain and hay producers lose out in the decision, the final issue will be merely postponed rather than settled, since present rates on foodstufls are more than the traffic can bear and the result will be dis- astrous to the farmers of many isolat- ed sections with a consequent short- ening of the available food supply. On account of the great importance of this issue every Michigan Farmer read-er should inform himself as fully as possible on its every angle, since there is danger that it may ultimately result in a serious railroad tieup. in which case an intelligent public opin- ion will be an important factor of safety and agent of justice. In any event, the farmers of Mich- igan have reason to congratulate them- selves on their favorable location so far as available markets are concern- ed, and on their variety of production which places them in a more independ- ent position than are the farmers in the one-crop states. HE following ex~ -- perience might Ingeosmg easily be repeated in 0”? hundreds of Michigan Profits communities. A doz- en years ago William Barson and Neal Benson, of Leer, in Alpena county, became sold on the proposition of putting good sires in the community. As a result they took the initiative and organized a bull as- sociation, through which was purchas- ed three bulls of the Guernsey breed for $300. These farmers have since invested $500 ~more in sires, making a total investment for the twelve years of less than a thousand dollars. Here is a. reSume of what has hap- pened: Not a single pure-bred cow has been purchased by any of the members of the bull association. Fully eighteen hundred scrub cows and their progeny have been bred to the sires provided and as a result of these mat- ings about eight hundred grade heif- ers have been raised. There is now owned by the members many cows carrying from seven—eighths to thirty- one thirty—seconds Guernsey blood. A careful checking up on the production of the animals shows that the yield of butter-fat from the grade COWS is about one hundred pounds more per annum than for the original scrub cows. This amount of butter-fat at forty cents per pound is an important addition to the farmer’s income. Besides this increase in the ‘regular income, cows from the herds which had been graded up through the use of the bulls were sold last spring at from $100 to $140 per head as against from $40 to $50 per head for scrub stock such as was bred to the sires first purchased by the as- sociation. So impressed have these farmers become with the advantages of the good sire that they have now‘ made tentative plans for securing one of the very best Guernsey sires in the state. ‘ Through the cooperation of the ag~ ricultural collegethese men have been prevailed upon to show annuals rapt-ct . sentin‘gy‘the disorent creases from our: blood up‘to 31-32 blood anagram a cos of the original scrub type which was secured for $40, at the State. Fair. They will also exhibit at the Saginaw Valley Fair. It will be worthy the time of every farmer to see the influ- ence of pure-bred sires in the history of the animals in this association as shown by the exhibit. There are per- haps less than a score of active bull~ associations in the state. There ought to be a hundred at least. The. work done by the Alpena farmers should go fax- toward popularizing this form of cooperative enterprise, for not only has the organization been 'of direct benefit to the individual members but it has also greatly enriched the entire community. HE present live - stock prices are 115:? Stock a. great disappoint- wes and ment to those who Prospects have stock for sale. But there seems to be a general feeling that future prospects are not bright, and there is little in- clination on the part of farmers to put in feeding stock even at present low prices. This is in large part due to the present financial situation. A good many farmers who would buy feeding stock find it difficult to finance the proposition, consequently less stock is going into the feed lots than is usual at this season of the year. As a re- sult, the feeders are mostly going to the packers, who are better able to use cheap meats than under normal~ condi. tions, and the market for fat animals is consequently aflected. Just how long this situation will last is impossible of prediction. But it is not so difficult to predict that there will be a dearth of good butchers’ cattle during the early winter months if a. majority of the feed lots remain empty during the fall months. It is thus a. reasonable presumption that the farmer who has plenty of feed and has or can buy feeders on the present low market will be able to market that feed to good advantage. The risks in feeding are at the minimum point when both feeders and feed are cheap in price as is the case at the present time, and the farmer who can finance a feeding deal at the present time, par- ticularly where home-grown feeds are available, is taking a minimum of risk in the marketing of his feed and at the same time has a fair chance of making a reasonable profit on the feeding op- eration. Twould appear that the patrons of the Tge 1921 1921 State Fair are ta“ carrying home with Fair them more valuable information than they have gathered from any of the recent exhibitions. This is due to the em- phasis which has been placed upon educative features. Throughout the various halls, barns and different buildings where exhibits are housed the visitors are constantly confronted with practical lessons which are im- pressively visualized. Perhaps the most forceful of these, in the main, are the exhibits put up by the Michigan Agricultural College. Nearly every phase of work being done by the College for the farmer has been carefully worked out to bring home salient points about the great business of farming. The new state agricultural department has also contributed gen- erously tothe educational features of the fair and the county exhibits are getting unusual attention from a wide circle of patrons. The live stock en- tries are larger by far than at any previous state fair, while the State Farm Bureau display is enabling the officers of this strong farmers’ organ- ization to reach thousands. who had never before as much as. heard, that... there's; such an institution in no «some: boy‘s museum or . tingafull share ofa‘tte'ntiom. ’ The general ' impression "gathered from various sources appears to be , that, the management has made con- siderable strides in the direction of improving the fair along helpful lines and is frowning upon some features which in the past have been more or less objectionable. Accounts of the de- partmental displays and awards will be given in later issues. News of the Week Wednesday, August 31.

I tried various ways to feed the old and young separately but with all of them on free range most methods were more bother than they were worth. It was really by accident that I got on to the method shown in the pic- ture. There was a wire fence near the place where I was feeding the chickens. When throwing the feed broadcast some of it got on the- other side of the fence. In a little while some of the chickens went after it but only the young chickens could get through the wire. This gave me the idea of using a roll of wire fencing, as shown. The young chickens have free access to the feed spread in the en- closure but the old hens are barred. This has eliminated much of the fight- ing and disturbance at feeding time. —R. H. Oakland County. TRACTOR EXPERIENCE. HEN we purchased our tractor we had on hand a stationary gasoline engine which we did not care to sacrifice, and which .we use for belt power, such as silo filling. Accordingly we bought a small tractor, with two plow bottoms, and have used it only for plowing, pulverizing, and similar work. We also use it for hoisting hay in the barn. The tractor permits us to rush the work in spring, when the Strain on the horses is heaviest. To illustrate: One spring, for one reason or another, we found ourselves with sixty acres of corn unplanted, and the planting sea- son pretty nearly over. We have about .The Home of Harry Seddon, of Sanilac County, who Reports a Wheat Yield _, . . of Over Fifty-four Bushels Per Acre. those two weeks probably saved for us would have paid the first cost and op- erating expenses of both tractors for two years. When our stationary engine wears out, or we can sell it to advantage, we will use a tractor for belt power, but I do not believe that a tractor larger than a three-plow bottom tractor would be economical under our condi- tions, or the conditions in vogue on the average dairy farm. For two years’ work we paid only about $50 for over— hauling, and the tractor is today in ex- cellent condition. It depends largely upon the care a make the greatest success we can not allow ourselves to go to sleep. I think I have learned a little lesson by acci- dent which will mean as much to my success at farming light soil as any other information which I have secur- ed from any other source. After preparing a field for rye it be- came necessary to haul across the land loads of corn for the silo. The men in" driving did not keep to a narrow track and as a result a rather wide strip of soil was thoroughly packed and when the seed was put in this soil was very firm despite the light nature of the land. Now the lesson which I learned was that when this field was harvest- ed there was a splendid stand of rye where the soil had been thoroughly firmed and not much of a crop else- where. This observation set me to thinking and I concluded that if the packing worked in a small spot it ought to work all over the field. I therewith procured one of these heavypackers and tried the plan out with very satis- factory results. A number of neigh- bors were recently surprised at results on a field where the packer was used and where a Splendid stand of sweet clover is the result. It must be re- membered, however, that it requires considerable power to pull the packer where the soil is loose. Three, and still better, four good horses are nec- essary to get on nicely. But it means the difference between success and failure in farming this type of land.— N. B., Benzie County. SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING EARLY. LAYERS.

The inexpe- rienced operator will also forget to use enough water; he may even allow the radiator to become dry. It is also nec- essary to keep the transmission well greased. Our tractor burns kerosene, and this fuel smudges the spark plugs badly. It is our practice to clean the plugs every morning, to insure good ignition during the day. When the tractor is not in use, it is well sheltered and un- der roof.-—W. F FOUND IT WORTH WHILE TO PACK LIGHT SOIL.

Of col- [ LATE AGRICULT ored oleomargarine there were pro- duced 5,648,384 pounds during the first six months of 1920 and 3,594,077 pounds during a similar period in 1921. There were 188,093,692 pounds of un- colored oleomargarine produced during the first six months of 1920 and 101,- 496,548 pounds in 1921. An appropriation of $200,000 for ad- ministering the packer law was at- tached to the shipping board deficiency bill which passed congress just before the, recess. PROVIDE FOR MUCK LAND TESTS. W 0RD has just been received that the Michigan Experiment Sta- tion will conduct special experiments on forty acres of muck land on the college farm. The rapid increase in the interest for additional knowledge on muck farming has led the director of the station and the soils department to undertake this new line of work. Problems of drainage and tillage, pas- ture production, and the question of improving the nutritive value of the grasses grown on such soils will be included in‘ the program. Additional work will be done on land represent- ing the different types of muck soil in the state and the-cooperative dem- onstrations now in progress on fifteen farms in different sections will be con- tinued and others 'added. COW-TESTING WORK GROWS. T was fifteen years ago that a group of progressive dairy farmers in western Michigan entered upon what many of them probably considered a very doubtful experiment. These men organized an association for testing their cows in respect to the amount of feed they ate and the quantity and quality of milk produced. The asso- ciation was patterned after similar one’s established in Denmark ten years previous and was under the sup- ervision of Helmar Rabild, who has since been active in extending the work throughout the United States and who is now helping to establish at Adrian a. factory for the manufacture of highgrade dairy products. \ The number of cowtesting associa- tions have grown during the fifteen years from one to 452. This growth has resulted from an appreciation on the part of dairymen as to the advan- tage to them of knowing the produc- tive ability of the different cows in their herds and thereby furnishing a basis for the culling of the herds. TARIFF REDUCES IMPORTS. IGURES show that the emergency tariff has resulted in reducing the importations of agricultural products which come into competition with do- mestic products, to a considerable ex- tent. Comparing the imports of arti- cles transferred from the free to the dutiable list in the emergency tariff law of May 27, 1921, the figures Show a decrease in cattle from 45,531 during March and April under the Underwood tariff to 8,809 head under the emer- gency tariff during June and July, 1921‘ During the same time the im- portations of sheep decreased from 2,475 to 895 head; wheat flour from 293,401 to 3,728 barrels; long staple cotton from 13,293,407 to 1,708,193 pounds; fresh meats from 4,980,536 to 3,805,003 pounds; condensed milk from 2,562,009 to 923,771 pounds; cocoanut oil from 34,266,525 to 5,911 pounds; soy bean oil from 9,189,386 to 132,902 pounds; wool from 139,681,264 to 1.- 580,898 pounds;. ter and butter substitutes, bearing a small tariff under the Underwood act. decreased from 5,635,803 to 225.632 pounds during the time mentioned. It is now predicted that the perma- nent tariff bill will not be enacted until early next year, and an effort will be made when congress convenes to extend the time limit on the emer- gency tariff until after the passage of the permanent schedules. The senate finance committee hearings are far from completion. OPPOSE TARIFF ON CREAM. REAM dealers of New England are opposed to the tariff rates on cream asked for by the Americaan Producers’ Federation and the New England milk producers. Their repre- sentatives are asking for a tariff of five cents on pasteurized cream up to forty per cent butter-fat. Figures were presented showing that under the pres- ent tariff about One-tenth of the cream handled by New England dealers dur- ing the four or five summer months comes from Canada. It was their con. tention that the New England dairies could not supply the demand for cream in Boston and other eastern cities.

ACTIVITIES OF FARM BUREAUS Latest Md): From Local, State and National Organz’zatiom WANT REPRESENTATION AT DIS- ARMAMENT CONFERENCE. EELING that the farmer is vitally interested in the questions that will be raised at the disarmament con- ference to be held at Washington, be- ginning November 11, the American Farm Bureau Federation is requesting the President to provide proper repre- sentation for agriculture. Leaders feel that it is essential that the farmer's viewpoint be given consideration. GRAIN GROWERS SIGNING UP RAPIDLY. NFORMATION from the headquar- ters of the U. S. Grain Growers gives a present paid-up membership of 6,947 members, while 277 elevators have signed up contracts with the na- tional organization. THINK GRAIN PRICES WILL AD- VANCE. HE wheat market in Michigan ad- vanced ten cents last week. It is the idea of the grain exchange officials that the unmarketed balance of wheat of the state will be needed at good prices. Milling demand is the best that we have seen in the last eighteen months and most all of the wheat now ' is going to flour mills. Export rates have been reduced, ef- fective September 3, which means an extra four to five cents per bushel in ._ the pocketbook of the Michigan farm- , or. The exports of wheat from North America during the month of August I - was the largest on record. Oats and ' firf’. ». . I i .l . . corn are down to bed rock, and cannot possibly go much lower. It would now ,appear that the wise farmer will look ahead and provide for his seed oats requirements now, as good seed oats will be scarce and hard to get next spring. ONLY THREE STATES LEFT. NE can find but three states in the Union Without farm bureau federations. These states are Penn- sylvania, South Carolina and Missis- sippi. The latter state is now plan- ning on federating the farm bureaus of the various counties some time this fall. LOWER RAILROAD TARIFFS GO INTO EFFECT. ICHIGAN railroads put into effect September 4 the seven and one-' half cents per hundred reduction on export grain, permitted Central Freight Association territory recently by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. The reduction affects all grain shippers east of the Mississippi river and to the Atlantic coast,- says the State Farm Bureau, which estimates that the reduction will save four cents a ,bushel to farmers on the grain that they ship for export. A reduction of four and a half cents per hundred on grain for domestic shipment is not un- likely. Express shipments may soon lose the one cent tax on every twenty cents paid by the shippers. The house ways and means committee recently-decided to amend its tax devision bill so as to eliminate that tax. The action follow- ed earlier elimination by the commit- tee of the three per cent tax on freight bills, eight per cent on passenger fares and parlor car charges. At pres- ent the government is collecting about $225,000,000 a year by imposts on transportation charges, of which about $145,000,000 is furnished by the tax on freight bills. The expreSS tax revision, as proposed, would remove from pres- ent law all taxes on transportation ex— cept a. three per cent tax on oil trans- ported by pipe lines, says the farm bureau. SEED DEPARTMENT NOTES. HE seed department makes its in- fluence felt in the farm bureau cir- cles outside of the state. Mr. Nichol- son has just returned from a trip throughout some of the central states and reports they are anxious to coop- erate in a very special business way with this department. This is an ad- ded evidence of the increasingstrength of the cooperative seed marketing .movement. The big problem .is how to handle the business. Reports coming from timothy seed producing districts indicate that the crop will not be over seventy-five .per cent of that of 1920. Hot, dry weather was very detrimental to the seed and the yields have been decreased by un- favorable conditions from five to. fif- teen per cent below last year. :Reports on the yield of clever seed throughout Michigan are varied. Some of the heaviest producing sections of Mam-'- mo and 9.18.1119. emu for-‘lnstdrear-ro?‘ port a very light crop. The‘usual yield "1‘2" )1. :""~, ";-.-.' :‘> .' in the better fields run from two-to three and a half bushels per acre. Hubam growers over the state are turning in their contracts to the seed departmentand inspection is well un- der way by the Michigan Crop Im- provement Association. It is reported that a fair yield will be realized on a. good majority of the fields. WOOL EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR. HE wool department of the Michi- gan .State Farm Bureau has a. display at the Michigan State Fair, in the automobile building. All grades of wool are shown and farm bureau fabrics manufactured from Michigan wool are on exhibition. Mr. Williams, of the extension de- partment, is instructor and is advising people where these goods can be pur~ chased, the process of manufacture, and the benefits to the Woolgrower and the buying public. Representatives explain the advan- tage of buying and using virgin wool fabrics, and of manufacturing wool in- to fabrics to find a better market for the wool. OHIO WELL ORGANIZED. REPORT received from our sister state, Ohio, tells us that every county of that state now has a farm bureau organization with the member- ship signed up on a ten dollar basis. The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has , a total membership of practically one hundred thousand. Mark J. Smith has Importations of but" "just been employed to m the wdol department of {this sta -=v Wind it Didfor #26 By W. F. MMEDIATE results of the “Better .Sire” dairy demonstration tour were gratifying in the extreme and ful- filled the rosiest hopes of the men and women who led in the undertaking. Sixty-seven pure—bred bulls were eith- er exchanged or sold outright and three others were ordered, making a total of seventy registered sires placed on Michigan farms. Fifty-one grade and scrub bulls actually have ended their careers at the butcher’s block. Over fourteen thousand persons heard the lectures, saw the exhibits, witness- ed the demonstrations and took home literature covering various phases of the dairy industry. But the ultimate consequences of the swing around the state will .be so far- reaching that even.to estimate them is impossible. Many of the seventy The K‘eenest Interest Was Taken bulls’ will be regarded as community assets and the performances of their progeny will be watched with corre- sponding pridé and satisfaction. The dairymen who heard the talks by the group of specialists from M. A. C. doubtless have a better understanding of the comparative values of various feeding rations and their effect upon milk production. Housewives who list- ened to Mrs. Louise M. Campbell, state leader of home demonstration agents, and her assistants doubtless realize the significant place held by milk in a balanced nutrition scheme for their own families. Most of all, the farm men and women gained a clearer vision of the possibilities of efficient dairying. They saw in it not merely a means of providing a hand- to-mouth existence, but a career call— ing for the highest qualities of man— hood and womanhood. In progress everywhere, the intan- gible often outweighs the tangible in the final reckoning. LikewiSe in this instance the Michigan Central and Pennsylvania Railroads, the Michigan Holstein-Friesian Association, the de- velopment bureaus and the agricultur- al college are likely to find that the advancement, in both a business and a social way, of the regions through which the trains passed, will more than justify the expense incurred. The success of the “better sire” train, first of its kind in the United States, has attracted attention through Dairy: Demonstration Train Territory T rammed Henshaw out Michigan and in the surrounding states as well. Other railroads are said to be ready to aid in similar tours and other breeding associations are re- ported as favoring the idea. The home economics demonstrations under the supervision of Mrs. Campbell were so popular that an attempt is now being made to send a special coach over many miles of railroad in the state in the near future. Lectures, exhibits and demonstra- tions were arranged in such a way as to drive home the essential points in good dairying. The importance of bet- ter sires—which constitute half the herd, and the ideal dairy type, both for male and female, were set forth by Prof. O. E. Reed, who recently became head of the dairy department at M. A. C., and by A. B. Baltzer. Feeding ra- in Every Part of the Program. tions and their food value, particularly sweet clover and alfalfa, were covered by J. A. Waldron. These two crops are favored especially because of their high percentage of digestible protein coupled with the fact that as legumin- ous plants they replace nitrogen in the soil rather than take it away. That unusual interest in these crops is be- ing manifested by farmers was indi- cated by the number of questions con- cerning cultural methods. To sum up the meaning of the bet- ter sire movement in its relation to the home life of the farm, Mrs. Camp- bell was called upon at each stop to give the final talk before the combin- ed audience of men and women. She pointed out how more eflicient dairy- ing means a greater financial return, makes possible the installation of con veniences in the farm home, and caus- es farm life to become sufficiently at- tractive to retain the boys and girls in the country. The bull association idea was stress- ed by the men from the M. A. C. dairy department. They called attention to the fact that the college is ready to help communities obtain pure-bred sires in any breed they prefer. They also emphasized the value of keeping records on individual cows and of forming cow-testing associations.

COST OF KEEPING HORSES. lGURES carefully gathered on the- cost of keeping 118 horses on twen- ty-five farms in Wayne and Monroe counties for the year ending May 1, 1921, show that the average cost per horse was $163 but that if the foods were figured at present prices the cost would be $70 less, according to the farm management department of the M. A. C. A story covering the various phases of this work was received too late for publication this week but will . , be run in the next issue. FARMERS NEED ADDITIONAL CREDIT FACILITIES. 0 NE thing the Joint Commission of Agricultural Inquiry has learned. according to Chairman Sydney L. An- derson, is the immediate necessity of setting up permanent machinery to furnish credit for farm production and marketing purposes, running from six months to three years, to fill the gap between short-time credit furnished by the national and state banks, and the long-time credit furnished by the farm mortgage banks and the federal loan system. “This credit must be of such charac- ter as to conform to the farmer’s turnover, and of sufficient flexibility to meet the requirements of different 10- calities and commodities,” says Can- gressman Anderson. “It must be ex- tended for a time sufficient to enable payment to be made out of the earn- ings of the farm. Without renewals, which add to the expense of the bor- rower in fees and commissions." FALL POULTRY CULLlNG. HE next step in poultry culling is tall culling of the poultry flock. The farmer who is really endeavoring to breed up a high-laying strain can-' not afford to breed from his entire flock of hens and pullets. It will pay him to make up a special breeding flock each spring, using yearling hens or older in the flock. If the selection of these hens is left until late next winter, it will be hard to pick them out. The proper time for this work is in September or. October. The flock should be gone over just the same as in the surmner culling but with the idea of picking out the best hens rather than the poorest ones. PROPAGATING SHRU‘BS. Seeing in the Michigan Farmer how other bushes were propagated. we thought possibly you could tell us whens we could find out how to propagate the shrubs, syringa and trumpet creeper. There are fine shrubs on an old homestead and several heirs wish plants from home.——D. B. M. The syringa bush can be propagated in several ways. At this time of the year you can layer it. That is, cover a foot or more of a twig with earth. In time this will take root in several places and can be divided into several plants. Or you can make ripe wood cuttings any time after the leaves are off. If these cuttings are made in the fall or winter, they should be placed in moderately moist sand until ready for use in order to keep them from drying out. When the growing season starts in spring, the cuttings should . be planted similar to the way that grape cuttings are handled. All of the cut- ting except one bud should be covered with earth when planting. The only way that trumpet creepers can be propagated is by means or semi-mature cut-tings. These arewusu- ally made before, midsummer and. should contain from two to five buds. They, should be set a couple of inches deep in frames which shelter them from the sun and wind. Until the roots have formed, they should be kept. closely covered and often sprinkled to keep the air about them humid. _ It is often rather difficult for an amateur to do successful propagating work as there are quite a. few kinks and turns about it that can only he learned through experience. DIGESTIVE TROUBLE. I have one small chick that seems, to get cramps in its neck at times and twists its head around with the top‘ I of its head down. and keeps going backward. I would like to know if there is any cure for this or whether it should be killed. Mrs. E. L. J. '- There are several things which will cause the’trouble such as you describe. Indigestion, ptomaine poisoning. intes- tinal parasites may cause such some times. Congestion of the brain and epileptic as will also cause such ac- tions. ' If the cause of the trouble is due to indigestion or poisoning, it may be cured in time, but if the trouble is due to fits, we doubt whether a cure can be accomplished. Even though you can cure a case of this sort, it is very doubtful whether it would pay in the end as the bird would likely be weak and stunted. It is, therefore, advis- able for you to kill the bird and make sure that you have corrected condi- tions so that this trouble will not oc- cur in other birds in your flock. This would be the most economical and practical way of taking care of the trouble. , RAISING DUCKS AND GEE8E. I rasied. about 150 ducks this year but they are dying off until now I have only eighty left. They seem to go lame and have a matter-like froth in their eyes. They continue in that con- dition about three or four days and then die. Can you give me the cause and tell me what is the best food for ducks?—J. C. C. When ducks have sore eyes it is sometimes due to a weakness caused by a lack of grit or the improper as- similation of food. Damp or dusty lit- ter may cause the trouble. ' Weaklegs may result from an unbalanced ration or a general lack of vigor in the breed ing stock. Try a ration consisting of mostly wheat bran with a little low-grade flour to stick it together. Then add only fifteen per cent corn meal, ten per cent beef scrap. five per cent sand and a lot of cut clover or green rye. The use of too concentrated teed some- times causes weakness in ducks. Plenty of free range is a grmt help in keeping ducks healthy. ‘ Goslings need only fresh. tender grass for the first two days. Then a. good mash can be made of two parts wheat middlings and one part corn- meal. This is moistened but not made into a sloppy mash. Feed four times each day just about the amount they can clean up in a. few minutes and still remain hungry. When a. week old the goslings can be given Scalded cracked corn. They. should have a. grassy range as they are grass eaters and that must form the bulk of their ration. Some breeders. of geese give the goslings bread and milk for the first few days. The bread is soaked in milk and then squeezed out nearly dry. A before feeding time—G. R. K. This will be a. fine fall for cleaning - up the orchard as fruit harvest will be over early. Dead and. broken limbs, and blight cankers can be cut out to advantage at this time of the year.

R. EFFECT OF SURVEYS. We had a survey made in 1906 by the government, and our lines and road fence established by this survey which I think was correct. The pres- ent survey takes about one rod of my land, making it necessary that I move my fence, leaving three bearing fruit trees on the roadside and two elm trees in the ditch line. I think that if it is any advantage to take land and move a fence they should pay for what they take. Please advise me if it is possible for me to take any action ?— E. J. M.

RIGHTS IN SUBMERGED- LANDS. A has a farm that nearly surrounds an inland lake that is rich in marl de- posits. Can he hold the exclusive ,right to this marl, or can neighbors haul it away if they drive on or below high- water mark and do not injure or de- stroy his property?—J. S. Persons not owning the land under the water would be as liable for tres- pass on it as on dry land. Nobody has any right to dig marl but the own— er of the land under the lake or his licensee. There is no rule as to the division of the bed of lakes; but usu- ally in case of litigation the court di- vides the bed as nearly as may be in proportion to the shore frontage, like a piece of pie.-——J. R. R. BITTER MILK. I Will you please tell me why our cow’s milk is bitter and the butter will not separate from the buttermilk? Calhoun Co. G. E. C. Bitter milk and cream may come from several causes. Sometimes cows that are well along in the period of lactation give bitter milk. The only remedy for this is to dry up the cow. When she freshens again the milk will be normal. _ Occasionally cows eat food that pro- duces a bitter taint in the milk. The remedy in these cases, of course, is to find out the food that, produces this result and see that they do not get it. Usually, when butter does not sep- arate from the buttermilk, the cause is unripened cream and too cold tem- peratures. It is quite difficult to make good butter of uniform quality where one only'has the milk from one or two cows. The trouble comes in keeping the cream until you have a suflicient amount for a churning. Each skim- ming of cream should be cooled be- fore it is mixed with the previous skimming and then kept cool until a. Sufficient amount has accumulated for a churning, but one should churn. at least twice each week. If you do not a. bitter taste is liable to be found in the cream. This is due, of course, to the action of the bacteria. When you have accumulated a sufficient amount of cream for churning, then the Whole I ‘mass should be stirred and warmed to a temperature of sevedty—flve or eighty degrees and left at this temperature be cooled in the summer ‘to fifty-eight or sixty degrees and in the winter to about sixty~two degrees before churn- ing. If this is done it is very rare if you have any trouble in getting the separation of the butter from the but- termilk—C. C. L. .lNJURED TREES. Please tell me what to do for young fruit trees on which the bark is injur- ed and which seem to be drying up. The rabbits have injured them.———J. B. It will be rather difficult for you to do much with your young trees at this time, providing the rabbits caused the injury last winter. If the 'bark has once dried up; it is difficult to start the circulation of the sap through it again. The proper thing for you to have done would have been to bridge- graft the trees most seriously affected and to mound up with earth those that were only moderately injured. Bridge-grafting must be resorted to where all of the outer and inner park has been taken away, as it is impos- sible for the sap to flow where the bark is entirely gone. Very often, though, the injury done by rabbits or mice is not so serious and there is some of what is called cambium layer of the bark loft. This cambium layer is the living part of the trees and is the part through which the sap flows. If there is enough of this left in the injured part to allow the sap to flow through, the sap will heal the wound in time. If your young trees are still living, it would be advisable to bridge-graft some of them and- mound the others, as suggested above. The grafting, however, will not give as good results at this time as it would in the spring. GETTING TREES TO BEAR. I have planted apple trees which were supposed to be Wealthies, nine years ago. We have kept the sod away from them for seven years. They are about twelve feet high and twelve feet wide. They look healthy and re- ceive the barnyard manure water. No insect seems to affect them. I do not think that the eight trees cleared three bushels of apples so far. Some people tell us that they need mineral and rust, and there is not enough in the land. They say we should drive rusty nails in them, and hang rusty irons on them.—L. S. Judging from the description of your Wealthy trees, they are probably making quite rank growth, and this is delaying them in the production of fruit. There is a distinct relation be- tween the growth of a tree and its ability to bear fruit. Usually heavy bearers are not great growers. We would suggest that you keep the barnyard manure water away from the trees, and it probably would not hurt to leavethem in sod, provided you cut the grass several times a year and let it lie where you cut it. The idea that the trees need manure and that the driving of rusty nails in them to bring them to bear is an old one which has little foundation in fact. The driving of nails in them may re- strict the sap so that the trees will cease growth and start hearing. In other words, it may have the same ef- fect that girdling the tree would. Any of these methods may tempor- arily produce results, but they usually do so at the expense of the vitality of the tree. We believe that you could get more satisfactory results by fol- loning natural means. .

SOME MICHIGAN MILK PRICES. ERE is what is being paid per hundredweight for raw milk in several Michigan cities. Prices are for milk testing 3.50 per cent butter-fat delivered at the city. At Battle Creek a. flat rate of $3.10 is paid and the milk is retailed at twelve cents per ’quart. At Detroit $2.71 is paid for the raw milk which retails at thirteen cents per quart. The Grand Rapids price ranges from $2.57 to $2.71 and the re- tail figures are thirteen cents. In J ack- son the farmer gets $2.45 delivered at the city, while in Kalamazoo the price ranges from $3.18 to $3.20 with the butter-fat ranging from 3.8 to four per cent and the retail price. is thirteen Cents. The consumer in Bay City gets his milk at twelve cents per quart and the raw stock costs $2.50 delivered. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. TMOSPHERIC temperature has al- ways been a matter of interest to leading agriculturists or to those who practice grain growing instead of stock raising. A high temperature, although necessary and beneficial in some cases, is detrimental in others, but in each case requires a liberal amount of precipitation. Late spring or early autumn frost is very often injurious to crops. Man has harness- ed much of nature and used it, but no one can say yet that man can control the weather, although he may modify it in some instances or overcome some of its disastrous effects. The primary source of all heat is the sun. Old Sol shines, and heat and light travel the intervening 92,000,000 miles of space, with a velocity of 186,- 000 miles per second. Some of this heat is absorbed in its transit by par- ticles of dust, water-vapor and the air itself, thus increasing the temperature of the air. "The remainder is absorbed by the earth. Local conditions have a great effect on temperature. Large water areas such as small lakes, prevent high tem- perature. The heat is kept more mod- erate because it takes nearly three hundred times as much heat to evap- orate one gallon of water as it does to raise its temperature one degree. Large swamps and areas of green tim- ber furnish large quantities of water to the air; also retain the spring water longer and therefore have a moderat- ing effect. Frost is prevented by swamp, woods and water areas because they pro- duce a high humidity and are not so readily cooled as are the large cleared areas.

Owners who are familiar with the subject know that engine design and construction alone will not insure these results. Every tractor must be supplied with lubricating oil which is scientifi— cally correct in botli body and character for that particular type of engine. Thousands of farm tractors now in use are equipped with Buda Engines. The Vacuum Oil Company’s Board of Automotive Engineers has made a careful analysis of the lubricating require- ments of the Buda Engine. Based upon this . study, their recommendations are: SUMMER OPERATION: Gargoyle Mobil- oil ‘ ‘BB” is the scientifically correct oil for the summer lubrication of tractors equipped with Buda Engines. WINTER OPERATION: For winter lubri- cation use Gargoyle Mobiloil HA.” '25- +2 —x— Important mechanical factors which point to the correctness of these recommendations are: 1. Heavy duty, practically full 'load and fairly constant service which determines compara- tively high operating temperatures—features making desirable the use of a medium—heavy bodied oil. 2. Force feed system of lubrication with submerged, always—primed pump, fine mesh oil screen of ample area and large diameter oil passages—a system adapted forper— Domestic Branches : New York (Main 'Ofliu) Boston Chicago Lubrication How to assure lowest cost per acre for gasoline, oil and repairs fect distribution of oils of medium-heavy body. 3. Close-fitting pistons and well-finished cylin- der walls, ample, well—fitted piston ring equip- ment including a fourth or scraper ring—- factors which tend to check oil pumping and adapt the engine to the use of rich lubricants without the risk of excessive carbon formation. Medium piston speed which entails the use of a rich, medium-heavy bodied oil to seal the piston rings effectively against blow-by of the compressed fuel charge and loss of the explosive pressure. For Winter use, the medium—heavy bodied oil required to meet Summer operating con~ ditions, as indicated above, presents the pos- sibility of impaired circulation and difficult starting, hence a medium-bodied oil of sufficient fluidity for ready distribution when chilled, and with ample character to satisfy the conditions enumerated above, must be used in Winter. MOTOR TRUCKS: The radically different service encountered by Buda Engines when used on motor trucks and mechanical changes on some of the Buda truck engines entail lubricating conditions quite different from the tractor work—hence a difference in recom— mendations.

New York : Ti , z} ‘ i , ‘g‘ ‘ i z . l ””“00” The March morning was windy and ,wet, with a storm blowing in from the Pacific. East of the mountains—in Idaho and Montana—there was snow and a heavy fall of it, as the conductor Well knew from the long list of incom- ing trains yesterday stalled or badly overdue; but at Seattle, so far, only rain or a soft, sloppy sleet had appear- ed. Through this rose the smoke from tugs and a couple of freighters putting out in spite of the storm, and from further up Eliot Bay reverberated the roar of the steam-whistle of some large ship signaling its intention to pass an- other to the left. The incoming vessel loomed in sight and showed the grace- ful lines, the single funnel and the white— and red-barred flag of the Jap- anese line, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. Connery saw that it was, as anticipat- ed, the Tamba Marue, due two days before, having been delayed by bad weather over the Pacific. It would dock, Connery estimated, just in time to permit a passenger to catch the Eastern Express if that were held till nine o’cloc‘k. So, as he hasten-ed to the car line, Connery smiled at him‘ self for taking the trouble to make his earlier surmises. More probably the train was being held just for some party on the boat. Going to the chief dispatcher’s office to confirm under- standing of his orders, he found that Mr. Jarvis had sent simply the curt command, “Number Five will run one hour late." Connery went down to the trainsheds. The eastern express, with its gleam- ing windows, shining brass and speci- less, painted steel, was standing be- tween the sooty, slush-splashed trains which had just struggled in from over the mountain; a dozen passengers, tir- ed of waiting on the warm, cushioned seats of the Pullmans, sauntered up and down beside the cars, commenting on the track-conditions which, appar- ently, prevented even starting a train on time. Connery looked these over and then got aboard the train md went from observation to express car. Travel was light that trip; in addition to the few on the platform, Connery counted only fourteen passengers on the train. He scrutinized these with out satisfaction; all appeared to have arrived at the train long before and to have been waiting. Connery got off and went back to the barrier. Old Sammy Seaton, the gateman, stood in his iron c00p twirling a punch about his finger. Old Sammy’s scheme of sudden wealth-every one has a plan by which at any moment wealth may arrive—was to recognize and ap- prehend some wrongdoer, or some lost or kidnapped person for whom a great reward would be given. His position at the gate through which must pass most of the people arriving at the great coast city, or wishing to depart BLIND o . “”‘”""”‘"'““"""””‘"“"‘““‘”““’“‘“‘“’”’“‘“’“"9"; By IVz'le'am MacHarg aaa’ Edwin Balmer 3.: g: Copyright by Little Brown a Company 3‘ . £0 - , 3'333'X'nfiwxa’mflx'fiafimaz'xafiwx'wxm'x’ Mmmwm'wfiwaoVXo‘f A Summary of W lzaz‘ Ha: Already Been T old Gabriel Warden, capitalist and railroad director, after getting telephone call, goes with chauffeur to bring a young man home.

Indeed; in his years at the gate, he had suc- ceeded in no less than seven acknowl- edged cases in putting the police upon the track of persons “wanted;” these, however, happened to be worth only minor rewards. Sammy still awaited his great “strike.” “Any one off Number Five, Sam- my?” Connery questioned carelessly as he approached. Sammy's schemes involved the following of the comings and goings of the great as well as of the “wanted.” Old Sammy shook his head. “What are we holding for?" he whispered. “Ah—for them " A couple of station-boys, overload- ed with hand-baggage, scurried in from the street; some one shouted for a trunk-truck, and baggagemen man. A group of people, who evidently had come to the station in covered cars, crowded out to the gate and lined up to pass old Sammy. The gateman straightened importantly and scrutiniz- ed each person presenting a ticket. Much of the baggage carried by the boys, and also the trunks rushed by on the trucks, bore foreign hotel and steamship “stickers.” Connery observ- ed the label of the Miyaka Hotel, Kio- to, leaving visible only the “Bombay" of another below it; others proclaimed “Amoy,” “Tonkin,” and “Shanghai.” This baggage and some of the people, at least, undoubtedly had just landed from the Tamba Maru. Connery in- spected with even greater attention the file at the gate and watched old Sammy also as each passed him. The first of the five in line was a girl—~a girl about twenty-two or three, Connery guessed. She was of slightly more than medium height, slender and erect in figure, and with slim, gloved hands. She had the easy, interested air of a person of assured position. She evidently had come to the station in a motor-car which had kept off the sleet, but had let in the wind—a tour- ing- car, possibly, with top up. Her fair cheeks were ruddy and her blue eyes bright; her hair, which was deep brown and abundant, was caught back from her brow, giving her a more out- 111. 1! CRES—vln Unfiilz'ng Symptom of Failing Eyesight. door and boyish look. When Connery first saw her, she seemed to be accom- panying the man who now was behind her; but she offered her own ticket for perusal at the gate, and‘as soon as she was through, she hurried on ahead alone. Whether or not she had come from the Japanese boat, Connery could not tell; her ticket, at least, disclaimed for her any connection with the foreign baggage-labels, for it was merely the ordinary form calling for transporta— tion from Seattle to Chicago. Connery was certain he did not know her. He noticed that old Sammy had held her at the gate as long as possible, as if hoping to recollect who she might be; but now that she was gone, the gate- man gave his attention more closely to the first man—a tall, strongly built, man, neither heavy nor light, and with a powerful patrician face. His hair and mustache, which was clipped short and did not conceal his good mouth, were dark; his brows were black and distinct, but not bushy or unpleasantly thick; his eyes were hidden by smok- ed glasses such as one wears against a glare of snow. “Chicago?" old Sammy questioned. Connery knew that it was to draw the voice in reply; but the man barely nodded, took back his ticket which also was the ordinary form of trans- portation from Seattle to Chicago—— and strode on to the train. Connery found his gave following this man; the conductor did not know him, nor had 01d Sammy recognized him; but both were trying to place him. He, un- questionably, was a man to be known, though not more so than many who traveled in the transcontinental ‘trains. A trim, self-assured man of thirty—— his open overcoat showed a cutaway underneath-came past next, proffer- ing the plain Seattle—Chicago ticket. An Englishman, with redveined cheeks, fumbling, clumsy fingers and curious, interested eyes, immediately followed. To him, plainly, the major- ity of the baggage on the trunks be- longed; he had “booked” the train at Hong Kong and seemed pleasantly sur- prised that his tourist ticket was in- stantly accepted. The name upon the strip, “Henry Standish,” corresponded with the “H. 8., Nottingham,” emblaz- oned on the luggage. ,» (re/3.0.: w urn; .. ’ 9 ,é - 3 « WWWMMWW The remaining man. carrying his own grips, which were not initialed, set them down in the gate and felt in his pocket for his transportation. This fifth person had appeared sud- denly after the line of four had formed in front of old Sammy at the gate; he had taken his place with them only af- ter scrutiny of them and of the station all around. Like the Englishman’s, his ticket was a strip which originally had held coupons for the Pacific voy- age and some indefinite journey\ in Asia before; unlike the Englishman’s —and his baggage did not bear the pasters of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha— the ticket was close to the date when it would have expired. It .bore upon the line where the purchaser signed, the name “Philip D. Eaton” in plain, vigorous characters without shading or flourish. An American, and too young to have gained distinction in any of the ordinary ways by which men lift themselves above others, he still made a profound impression upon Connery. There was something about him which said, somehow, that these strips of transportation were taking him home after a long and trouble absence. He combined, in some strange way, exaltation with weari- ness. He was, plainly, carefully ob- servant of all that went on about him, even these commonplace formalities connected with taking the train; and Connery felt that it was by premedita- tion that he was the last to pass the gate. ‘ As a sudden eddy of the gale about the shed blew the ticket from old Sammy’s cold fingers, the young man stooped to recover it. The wind blew off his cloth cap as he did so, and as he bent and straightened before old Sammy, the old man suddenly gasped; and while the traveler pulled on his cap, recovered his ticket and hurried down the platform to the train, the gateman stood staring after him as though trying to recall who the man presenting himself as Philip D. Eaton was. Connery stepped beside the old man. “Who is it Sammy?" he demanded. “Who?" Sammy repeated. His eyes were still fixed on the retreating fig- ure. “Who? I don’t know." The gateman mumbled, repeating to himself the names of the famous, the great, the notorious, in his effort to fit one to the man who had just pass- ed. Connery awaited the result, his gaze following Eaton until he disap- peared aboard the train. No one else belated and bound for the eastern ex- press was in sight. The president's order to the conductor and to the dis- patcher simply had directed that Num- ber Five would run one hour late: it must leave in five minutes; and Con- nery, guided by the impression the man last through the gate had made (Continued on page 249). -'-By Frank R.

Note the tall, heavy and luxuriant growth. Below you see in the opposite direction, but in the same field, a strip left without lime for a check. In this case the alfalfa is short, scraggly and yellow. It has been starved of the plant food it should have had to make the best growth, because of the acid and sourness of the soil. An application of Solvay Pulverized Limestone, which is quickly available would neutralize all of the acids and sourness and would liberate plant food, making the plant grow as it is in the picture above. Pictures That Tell The Limestone Story All over this country thousands of farmers are get- ting results from Limestone equal to those pictur- ed above. This is not an exceptional case. It is the natural result any farmer can 'confidently expect from an application of Soivay Pulverized Limestone on land that is not producing to capacity, due to a sour condition of the soil. And remember this—— Limestone is particularly necessary to Michigan Farmers ——because tests show that by far, the largest percentage of Michigan soil is sour. Every farmer knows that the percentage of profits in next year’s crops will be small—perhaps smaller than usual, due to the country’s unsettled business conditions. The only safe way to make certain of a good profit next year is to increase pro- duction. ' Solvay Limestone will increase your yield without adding to your labor or seed cost. It has turned hundreds of Michigan farms from losers into good profit makers.We don’t askyou to accept our word for this, we can give you the names of farmers near you,who will be glad to tell you what Solvay Lime— stone has done for them. Ask us to send you their names. Now is the time to apply Limestone—this Fall, so you will get the benefit from it on next year’s crops. Over half the farmers in Michigan have already re- ceived a copy of the re- markably interesting and instructive book we have pubished on Limestone and what it will do in every soil and crop condition. It is free. Ask for it on the coupon.

J , I/Lllllllllllllllllll|l\\\\ Night had fallen when they reached Ben Littleford’s cabin home. The girl was welcomed with much joy; old Dale was received with almost affec- tionate cordiality. A roaring fire was soon going in the best room, and old Dale was given the cosiest of the sheepskin-lined rockers. Ben Little- ford, washed scrupulously clean of coal smut, sat near the guest of honor. John Moreland, who was so thoughtful that he seemed to hear and see noth- ing, sat close to Ben Littleford. Suddenly Dale looked toward his host and asked: “Where is my son?” At that moment Dale the younger, in boots and corduroys, appeared in the outer doorway and answered for himself: “Here he is, father. Are you well ’2” Dale the elder arose, and their hands Were clasped warmly. Young Dale then shook hands with Elizabeth, who blushed in spite of herself as she faced him. “How are you, Babe?” he said in the old, boyish way, using the name that was sweet to her only when he uttered it. He ran on smilingly. “I wonder if it’s bad manners to tell you that you get prettier every blessed minute of your life? If it is, I didn’t say it, you understand—though that wouldn’t keep it from being true!” To hide her confusion, Elizabeth turned to the tall and lanky By Heck, who had come in behind Bill Dale. “How are you, By?” she greeted him. “Hongry,” grinned By Heck, taking her hand awkwardly. “I never e’t nothin’ but a couple 0’ baked ’pos- sums and a peck or two 0’ sweet ’tat- ers fo’ dinner, and I’ve been as busy as the dev—as thunder a-doin’ nothin’ ever sence. Doin’ nothin’ shore does make me hongry, M-M-M-Miss Babe.” Supper was announced, and they went into a long, log-walled room that served as both kitchen and dining- room. There were a great many sav- ory dishes, and one of them was a roast wild turkey that John Moreland had shot the day before at a distance of a hundred yards—with a rifle. Bill Dale sat beside his father and talked of nothing but coal veins-big and little coal veins, long and short, broad and narrow, deep and shallow, blue and black coal veins. Babe Lit- tleford, who wouldn’t marry him, who had come back to the hills to torture him with a beauty that he had never believed possibly in any woman, shouldn’t know that he was even think- ing of her! A little later, John Moreland drew old Ben out to the cabin yard. The skies were clear, and the moon was shining brightly; everywhere there was beauty and peacefulness. “Ben,” softly, “I’ve got to bother ye a minute, as late as it is. I want ye to find me a hammer and a chisel and a lantern.” “I’ve got ’em all three right thar in the house,” replied Littleford. “But what in the name 0’ Torment and thunderation do ye want with a ham- mer and a chisel and a lantern, John, old friend?” .The answer came straightforward- ly. It was the Moreland way. “I’m a—goin’ up thar to whar pore David he’s buried at, and cut off some them letters offen the stone, Ben. I cain’t sleep ontel it’s done. You can guess what part I’m a-goin’ to cut off, ,cain’t ye?” “Yes,” said Littleford. “Babe told me about what happened up thar afore “ I ”Em-ll|lillllllllHIIHlllHllIHlllllHHlIIHHHIUIHHIIHHHIIHHIHIIilHIHIIlHHIIHHHIHHIIIHHlIHIM!IHJHHll|HIllHlilIllllIiIllllIllHIlIHHHHllIIIHIHli5|HIHHIHIIHIIIHIIll|||l|lllllIHHHHHIlHIIHHHIHIEHMI‘IIMI THE dark. And I'm pow’ful glad ye’re a- goin’ to do it, John» old friend.” He went with Moreland to the little enclosure on the highest point of Dav- id Moreland’s Mountain. He held the lighted lantern while Moreland work— ed. They were there for hours. When the work was finished David Moreland’s brother arose from his knees in the snow, put the hammer and chisel into his pocket, and spread open his cold, cramped fingers. “Ef David could know,” he said wearily, “I believe he’d be glad ’at ye done it, John. The’ hain’t no doubt.” Ben Littleford put a big hand on John Moreland’s shoulder. “Yes,” he agreed, “ef David could know about it, he’d be glad ’at ye done it, John.

Know what? She had a sud- den wild fear that Mrs. Dale had brok- en her promise never to breathe a word of the truth concerning the Adam ‘Ball affair. Nevertheless, she put on her hat and her gloves and went to Bill Dale’s office. Dale sat with his elbows on his desk and with his head in his hands. To all appearances, he was unaware of the presence of the girl in the doorway. She spoke. “Bill ” He sat up straight and faced her. He seemed surprised. “Well, Babe?” “Your father wants you,” in a low voice. “He’s got something to tell you that—that will make you think almost nothing of me!” Young Dale frowned. “What is it?” “I’d rather he’d tell you about it. Bill Dale, I don’t think I could bear to tell you myself—” The latest poultry I’ve thought it out; A72 Illuminating Suéject The coal-oil light’s a burning bright; !

Elizabeth learned of it early on the following morning. When breakfast was over, she whispered to John K. Dale that there was something she had to show him. She wouldn’t tell him anything in advance. So he went with her to see for himself. When at last they stood inside the weatherbeaten palings, Elizabeth pointed and said: “Look there, and thank God!” Dale looked and saw. The color left his faCe, then came back. He shut his eyes, swayed a little on his feet, open- ed his eyes, looked and saw again. He turned to the young woman with a great joy shining on his face. “I haven’t been so glad,” he told her, “for twenty-five years.” The chiseling away of the lower five lines had not only obliaterated the curse: it had left an almost perfect cross. Then John Moreland’s bare cold and tireless hands had gone to work and made it, in every respect, a perfect cross. CHAPTER XXIII. The End of it All. HE sun shone very brightly that day, and the snow began to melt on the places that were not shaded. When he returned with Eliza- beth from the crest of David More- land’s Mountain, John K. Dale took a. rocker before the fire and sat there thinking, thinking, until the midday meal was announced. When the mid— day meal was over, he resumed hlS chair and sat there thinking, thinking, until the afternoon was half gone. Then he called Elizabeth‘to him. “Will you go to my son and tell him I wish to see him ?” he said. And he added under his breath: “I think it is best that they should know.” Elizabeth heard that much he had She turned and was about to hasten away, when he called to her, “Wait!” ——and she waited. “Has it,” he asked, “anything to do witlliI your marriage to Jimmy Fayne ‘3” U 0.}! He arose and put on his broad-rim- med hat. “I’ll admit,” he smiled, “that I’m worse than a granny woman for poking my nose into other people’s affairs—when are you going to marry Jimmy, Babe?” The answer came quickly: “Never." Never!” “Never,” quietly. ”NEVER?” pursued Dale. t“(li\IEVER!” cried Elizabeth, exasper- a e . “Goodness!” laughed Dale. “You’re dramatic, or vehement, or both. May I walk home with you, Babe ” t “,Yes, sir,” promptly, “if you want o.’ They set out across the snow—cover- ed meadows, and neither spoke anoth- er word until they had reached Ben Littleford’s log house. The girl looked at him queerly as the entered. After he knew—— Old Dale still sat before the fire, and near him sat silent John More- land. Old Dale motioned toward an inside door. “Please close it, Elizabeth,” he re- quested, and she obeyed. “Now sit down. I’ve got something to tell the three of you. And I ‘fancy it will in- terest all of you.” The two who had just come in took chairs at the fireside. After a mo- ment, John K. Dale began: “You’ve often wondered, Bill, about that savage streak—as you choose to call it—that is in you. You inherited it. Much of that which we are, it is claimed, is inherited, and it must be correct; like begets like, of course. But there is no savage streak in you, Bill. You are hot-headed, that’s all. Your virtues overbalance that, by far. I have never seen another man who had a greater ~love for honesty and fair play, 01‘ more courage to stick up for that which seems to be right, than you. Now I’ll tell you how you came repeated Elizabeth, very \\\\llllHl/II ‘ ‘- ' ,_.‘__. \ by those fine qualities and the hots headedness—” Elizabeth Littleford ' sat wide-eyed, tense, half breathless. If he meant to tell it, why didn’t he tell it! Why beat about the bush like that? “Bill this is hard for me. It brings back a terrible thing. You know about David Moreland. When I awoke that morning and found him lying dead at my crazed, drunken hands, I wish that I, too, were dead. That great and silent wilderness smothered me. I imagined that I could hear voices call- ing to me, saying—— ‘ “Cain! Cain!” “They came from the laurel thick- ets, from the trees overhead, from the ground, from everywhere. You see, I wasn’t all bad, even in my wild-oats iiays. Then I thought of the law, and ran. “But the cry of-a child from the cal} in I was leaving halted me before I had gone thirty yards. David More~ land’s wife had left him with a baby only a few weeks old, which I didn’t pay any particular attention to until that morning, that black morning. At that time there was no other house for miles around. I couldn’t leave the child there to die of starvation, after killing its father. So I went back and got the baby, and all its clothing, and took it away with me. I left it at a. farmhouse down in the lowland, and went to another city, and started life afresh. “But later I married, and shortly af- ter that I went to the farmer and per- suaded him to let me adopt the child. I brought it up as my own, and edu- cated it, as a sort of compensation. And I came to love it. But it was years before my wife loved it. She didn’t like children then. But she does now. She is paying now, and I am. paying. Don’t you understand, Bill— don’t you understand?” There was a choke in his voice to ward the last. Bill Dale went to his feet. His eyes were wide, but he did not seem unhappy; and for that Eliza- beth was grateful. John Moreland sat as still, with his bearded, viking face as expressionless as though he had known it all along. “And so I really am in my own coun- try!” cried Bill Dale. “I am a More- land, and the Morelands really are my own people!” “Yes, you are in your own country, and you are a Moreland—and your baby name was David,” said John K. Dale. It was then that John Moreland spoke. “Bill, when I fust seed you, you made me think 0’ my brother the day he was married. I ain’t never fo-got that. I sartinly ain’t su’prised none at all. We didn’t know about the baby. Cherokee Joe told me the baby had died.” ' “And now, son,” pleaded old Dale, his voice breaking, “say that you for- give me.” Bill Dale David Moreland’s boy, knelt beside the old sheepskin-lined rocker, took the old coal king’s hand in both his own and bent his head over it. “It’s all right,” he said thickly. “’It’s all right.” Elizabeth Littleford arose and stole blindly out of the house. Her foot- steps led her, quite without her real- izing where she was going, across the meadow and to the river above the blown-down sycamore. And there on that sacred spot, where she had first felt her heart leap at the sound of Bill Dale’s voice, she sank down in a heap in the snow and cried, and cried. Twilight was gathering rapidly, but she did not notice it. She did not no- tice, either, that the air was growing steadily colder with the approach of the mountain night. To her a warm sun was shining above in a bright'blue vault; to her the spirit of summer was everywhere; in her ears there was the liquid song of a meadow lark, the sweet twittering of woodthrushes, the low humming of wild bees. The pour- ing of the crystal waters between the two boulders above the pool made mu sic to her, and blended with it she seemed to hear the voice of a big, clean, strong man— “I was thinking, of the difference boa 1 I l r l H itniiw ". you-sad mine other women, '91 = Then a ray of hope shone into her heart. Bill Dale was really a More- land and, therefore, of the hill blood even as she was-of the hill blood, and that should make them more nearly equal. She told herself that he would not be so apt to condemn her’for be- ing able to take a human life easily as one of another blood would be; he would be more apt to understand. And yet, the women he had known were . gentle, tender and refined, like, for in- stance, Patricia McLaurin. Soon the ray of hope died within her, and she bent her head and sobbed again. One of her bare hands began to grape idly in the snow at her side, and she did not feel the cold. Suddenly she realized that her hand was full of shavings, whittlings. Some man had been sitting there whittling with a pocket-knite—it must have been a man for whoever heard of a woman whit- tling? She felt in the snow with both hands, and found more whittlings— there were bushels of whittlings, it‘ seemed to her, lying there under the snow- Then she wondered—wondered who it could have been. It was quite dark now, for the moon was not yet up. A great, bright star blazed above David Moreland’s tomb fled sounds of slow masculine foot- steps in the snow behind her. She did net turn her head. In her soul she knew it could be but one man. Bill Dale’s head was down, and he moved as though he neither knew nor cared whither he went. Then he saw the dark heap on the river’s bank be- fore him, and he halted. He knew in his soul that it could be but one woman. Dale went on and sat down on a stone the size of a small barrel that lay at the river’s him. “Babe ” he said. It was the mating call of his heart in the springtime of his life. . “Who d-done all 0' this whittlin’ Bill?” asked Elizabeth. “I did,” softly. . “But I thought you were so busy here! It’s nobody but idlers, of course, that whittles—that' is, most '0’ the time it’s nobody but idlers that whittles.” “But I’m not busy on Sundays, you know,” replied Dale. ‘ “Tell me this,” Elizabeth asked pointedly: “What made you come to this one spot to do your whittlin’? Couldn’t you Whittle up there in my daddy’s cabin yard?“ He answered her unhesitatingly: “Because I like to be here. This place is a shrine to me. It was here that I first loved you. Babe. Now you tell me this: Why did you come to this par- ticular spot to sit down in the snow? There’s snow in your daddy’s cabin yard!” Said Elizabeth in a voice that sound- ed smothered: “Because I like to be here~~this place is a shrine to me, too —it was here that I first= loved you, Bill Dale!" “Then why,” he demanded, “won’t you marry me?” B “Because it was me that shot—4Adam all.” She went on, and though emotion had set every fiber of her to quiver- taik, which was proof of the magnifi- ing, she did not fall into the old hill cence of her: , “I thought you wouldn’t want me if you knew that I did that, and I could not marry you without telling you. But you know now! And do whatever you feel like doing or saying, you can’t hurt me; I can never be hurt any—:— any m-m-m—more———” Bill Dale shot erect- Truly, this was a day of surprises for him. He stoop- ed and caught her up. “A real woman!” he said happily, straightening with her in his arms. “A real, all gold, pure gold woman! You loved .me well enough to kill a man to save me, and wouldn’t let me know it! Woman is a mystery, sure enough. But perhaps it’s because wom- en are So fine and so far above men- folk that menfolk cannot understand them. Well, Babe, kitten, must I drag you to the altar, or will you go with me of your own accord?” She put her arms around his neck and drew them tight. “I’d go with you, Bill Dale——or David Moreland, whichever it is—to the very lastl inch of the end of the world,” she sai . ' Early the next morning, there came strolling lazily up the river’s bank a tall and lanky mountaineer who wore, among other things, a Niagara Falls moustache and cowhide boots that seemed ridiculously short because of the great length of his slender legs. He carried a rifle in the hollow of one arm; he waleoking for rabbit—tracks in the snow."

Many farm girls have to figure pen- nies rather closely when in college, so as to make the best appearance pos sible with a minimum expenditure. In choosing clothes, the style should be conservative, never extreme, so that the garment will stay in style and save making over too soon. The ma- terial should be good, and such that it will remain good style, for instance, a blue serge would be a. much better investment than a novelty material in a bright color. Needless to say, the material needs to be durable. In order to know that you are getting what you pay for, it is advisable to take a sam- ple and make the household test to see if the material is cotton, wool or silk or mixtures. To see if a sample is all wool, boil five minutes in a rather strong solution of household lye. Wool dissolves, and if any of the sample is left the sample was not all wool. First of all, the college girl needs school clothes, simple, easy to get into, and good looking. For early fall, a skirt and light weight sweater or jer- sey coat is good. If the skirt is to be pleated, the material may be hemmed at top and bottom, then sent away to be pleated, and when it comes back, the seam and the belt should be made. With this outfit, separate blouses are worn. These are made of linen, dim- ity or a thin material, or crepe de chine. They are of the tailored type, with tucks, tiny pleated ruffles, or a rolling large collar of pique. A serge dress is, of course, a neces- sity for school wear. It may be worn early in the fall, then later with a heavy coat. It is advisable to have two serge dresses, one probably a. made-over, and the other a new one. These must be easy to press, and per- haps even to wash out inwool soap or soap bark on Saturday. A little white collar adds a touch of light color and variety, but frills, tassels or anything elaborate would be foolishness. A fall suit is needed, and this should be bought ready-made, unless one is proficient in tailoring. Blue tricotine or serge is the standard conservative suit which will be good for one year after another, but other colors or ma- terials might be substituted for it. A semi-tailored suit is most generally be- coming, and has the advantage of be- ing suitable for best wear the first year, and class-room wear the second year. With this should be bought a close-fitting hat which will also do for wear with a winter coat later. A blouse of a rather dressy type should be made to wear with this suit. Since I am short I have found that a blouse the same ‘color as the suit is most be- coming. This would not be true of a. tall person, yet I have always disliked seeing a person out in two with a light waist and a dark skirt. Georgette is IF the college girl is deft with the an appropriate material for the blouse, or else crepe de chine. A girl needs a dark silk dress for Be nabIe.’ 11nd t/ze noblenessjlmt lie: in otfier men, sleeping but never dead, will rise in majesty to meet Mine own. . James. Russell Lowe/l. Woman’s Interests College Girls’ Clothes Requirements By Dari; W McCray informal afternoon occasions and for church. This may be of satin, crepe de chine or taffeta in a dark color, made rather simply. One might as well make this dress as to buy it, for it is eaSy to copy clever ideas from ready—mades. It may be that one needs an afternoon dress which is more elaborate, with lace and georgette. If you are not sure that you will have occasions demandng this dress, do not buy it, for it is foolish to spend money for anything unnecessary. When I was in college, I had a dress of navy blue georgette which answered this pur- pose. If the fall is warm, or college begins early, it may be that a light weight and light colored sweater is needed to wear with a white skirt. This cos- tume was a necessity in California. But if you have a white silk skirt to wear at some times and places, do not Wear it on the campus. Nothing is so inappropriate for classroom wear as a silk skirt or dress. A white wool skirt can be as easily laundered with a mild soap, and is good for ordinary wear. However, you probably will not need this light summer costume if you at- tend college where the winters are cold. An evening dress is easy to make at home. For instance, it might be made of peachcolored satin (or any color which is becoming), with the waist of the same colored silk net, with pieces of the satin across the shoulders, drawn in slightly at the waist with tiny half circles of blue and pink French flowers, and with two little pieces of silver ribbon over the silk net, drawing in the waist line. This is the way I made an evening dress, and is only one of the many ways pos- sible. .For the college girl, the dress should be girlish, simple and charm- ing, the charm lying in the pretty dainty materials made up in a becom- ing way. Extreme decolette is not good taste. Needless to say, a last summer’s voile will not do for a dance unless the dance is unusually infor- mal. To wear over the evening dress a coat might be made of a heavy jer- sey-like silk, so that this coat could be later made into a dress. A heavy winter coat needs to be warm and serviceable, probably for wear every day and for “best,” too, since a winter coat means quite an in» Vestment, and should be worn while it is in style, rather than having two coats at the same time. For starting in to college in the fall, you will need a pair of black or brown oxfords, broad, with rubber-tipped heels, so as to insure comfortable feet while walking over the campus, a pair of high shoes of the same kind, a pair of dress shoes to wear with the silk dress for church wear, possibly a pair of black slippers to wear with the same dress, and a pair of slippers to Tée Advantages Ufa ”rater/em COO/tar AVE you ever noticed the differ~ ence in size between the roast that goes into the oven and the one that comes out? How it has dwindled away at a rate which seems to raise the price of meat several cents per pound? Experts claim that oven roasts shrink twenty to thirty per cent, and in addition to this shrinkage a great deal of flavor is lost in the steam which escapes. The little cooker illustrated, is de- signed to save that shrinkage; its makers claim it does cut down shrink- age to five per cent. Besides, it does away with the need of using the oven. The roast may be done to a turn on top of the range, or in summer, with one burner of the oil stove. The cooker is made of a heavy grade aluminum with a steel jacket or extra bottom. Between the alumi- mum cooker and this jacket is fitted an asbestos mat to prevent burning. Your roast, seasoned to taste, is put into the cooker, without water, the cover fitted on, and the cooker set... over the burner. The pad of asbestos eliminates the danger of burning, and the tight-fitting cover, which prevents the‘escape of steam, it is claimed cuts down' the shrinkage. Vegetables and fruits may be cook- ed in the utensil without water, cook- ing in their own juices. Those who have tried the cooker claim foods cooked in this way are much more de-r liciously flavored than water-cooked foods, as all the juices are retained. Onions, cabbage and sauer kraut may be cooked without escaping odors it is claimed. The cookers come in six sizes, from four parts to sixteen, and sell at from four dollars for the smallest size to ten dollars for the largest size, which holds sixteen quarts. wear with the evening dress, not to mention bedroom slippers and over- shoes. It is wise to have one’s wardrobe rather complete, and in good repair to start in the semester, since it is easy to make one’s clothes during the sum— mer at home. Underwear should be plain, easily laundered and plainly marked with the owner’s name, with a name tag sewed on, if it is to go to the laundry. -It is wise to have a fewer number of garments, but be sure that they are durable, carefully selected and made, and appropriate. I have found that the most expensive garment is the one that is seldom worn, or is not' “just right” so that it gives complete satis- faction, while the cheapest garment is that one which is worn a long time with satisfaction, even though the or- iginal cost was more. Clothes really do express individuality, so they should be chosen with the utmost care. A FASHION SHOW. FOUR days’ clothing demonstrar tion was recently held in a west ern state. Readjustment of patterns, fitting, finishing, remodeling, design- ing, trimming, ’and the use and manu- facture of dress forms were demon‘ strated. On the last day a fashion show was held for women who were not already enrolled in one of the clothing clubs. At this show nine women wore after noon dresses they had made, five were good-looking street dresses, and four attractive cotton or gingham frocks. Two babies wearing sensible, comfort- able clothes, all made at home, includ- ing their caps and shoes, made a. hit with the audience. To display the garments for girls of different ages five school girls took part. There were two boys on the stage. one wearing a pair of trousers made from father’s old ones, and the other displaying with pride a comfortable home-made school ‘shirt. During the fashion show the clothing specialist lectured on attractive color combina- tions, trimmings, designs, lines, sleeves and finishing. CHATHAM’S PROGRAM FOR WOM. EN VISITORS. COLD andf stormy weather has no ‘ terror or northern peninsula farmers when Cloverland Round-up Day “draws round. Two thousand peo- ple proved that when they gathered at the state experiment station farm at Chatham on August 12 for a day of picnicking and knowledge absorbing. Exhibits and speakers arranged for by the field workers promised enough of profit to atone for a. day spent outsido with cold winds blowing and spits of rain driving the crowds to the shelter of the trees and buildings. So the us- ual number of automobiles filled the grounds and the interested occupants crowded around exhibits, watched the live stock judging, and gathered the latest advice on the big job of farming and home-making. The women’s exhibit was held in the The Waterless Cooker Improves Quality, and Digestibility of Cooked Foods. office building, and included demon: This Trademark is Your Protection $5,000 Saved A Southern Michigan farmer. who strongly resented paying his insurance premiums 2 months ago. welcomes the chance today.

Smith, house- hold management specialist from the Michigan Agricultural College, had charge of an exhibit of time and labor savers for kitchen work, general clean- ing and ‘other departments of house- hold work; Miss Helen Pratt, home demonstration agent of Chippewa coun- ty, demonstrated the care and use of the sewing machine, emphasizing the use of attachments as time and labor savers; Miss Jennie Williams had charge of an exhibit of canned beef, fish and chicken, and Miss Helen Sim- onson, home demonstration agent of Dickinson county, exhibited work done by the clothing club of 'her county. During the morning a. program of talks and demonstrations was held, Miss Barbara Van Heulen, state leader of girls' club work, told of the work done in the upper peninsula by farm girls. Already as many girls are en- rolled as in the lower peninsula. She gave great credit to the school teach- ers and the mothers who have coop- erated in the work. Only a few schools have hot lunches, however, and Miss Van Heulen emphasized the import- ance of this. To make the point more emphatic two girls from the Girls’ Club of Iron county followed Miss Van Heulen with a hot lunch demonstra- tion. They told what equipment is needed for the hot lunch work, and the advantages of having something hot at the noon hour. As a demonstration of what girls can do they made hot cocoa. The girls had been trained by their county leader, Miss Hall. Miss Helen Simonson discussed “Nutrition in the, Home and School.” She urged mothers to pay more atten- tion to feeding the family the right foods, especially in the case of chil- dren, and told them the importance of milk, fruit and vegetables in the diet of the growing child. To show what milk will do she gave a. little report of the work done in Dickinson county. Seven hundred and thirty-six children were examined and ponly two hundred and sixty-five of them were normal. One hundred and fifty-six were ten per cent under weight. After four months of milk drinking in addition to the regular food four hundred and thirty-nine children were normal and only eighty-eight Were ten per cent under weight. Miss Smith discussed “Woman’s Workshop,” and made a plea for bet- ter arranged kitchens and well chosen equipment. Farm Poultry SELL THE SURPLUS COCKERELS. ANY farms still have a. large number of cockerels on hand, more than will be eaten this summer and many more than Will be needed for breeders. It seems to be the gen- eral poinion that because the price of broilers is not as high as it was last spring, it will pay to keep cockerels until fall and sell them then. On most [farms this is not good practice. Prac— tically as much money will be made by selling a two-pound cockerel now as can be made by selling a. four— pound bird in the fall. In most cases the cockerels are a, nuisance on the place, ‘crowding the pullets away from the feed and taking up roosting room needed by the pullet’s. This question of summer care of pullets is one which should be given much more attention and the sale of the surplus males now will materially hasten the growth of the pullets. In imost cases it is more profitable to sell the cockerels now. Farmers should not endeavor to raise hens under natural conditions. For a. hen raised that way is a. liability rather than an asset. To make a profit out of hens a. farmer should keep them in the pink of condition. This can only be done by giving extra good ‘care' and M ii: rel-17G A NV‘F AR ME R plenty of proper feed. 1 The Folly of Cheating Nature Many people get the idea that they can keep their nerves on edge and their digestion upset year after year, and “get away with it.” They sleep only half as much as they should —- and never get properly and thoroughly rested. If you tire out easily, if you are getting pale and anemic, if your food doesn’t digest as it should, would it not be well to stop and consider whether coffee or tea is having its effect on you?

Big Times at Chatham Club Camp Upper Pem'mu/a Clué Meméer: Get Pleamre and Profit from Outing HE boys’ and girls’ department of the Michigan Agricultural College cooperating with the Upper Peninsula Experiment . Station, established a four-day club members’ camp, beginning on Monday, August 8 and ending on Thursday, August 11, the;day at the Farmers’ Round-up. The camp was located on the Slap- neck river which flows through the station farm. Eight large pyramidal tents housed the boys on one side of the river, and the girls camped in four similar tents on the opposite bank. A specially constructed bridge connected the; two divisions of the camp, or as one of the boys remarked, connected the main land to “No Man’s Land,” meaning the girls’ camp. The first event of importance was the “Welcome Program” around the huge camp fire on the evening of Mon- day, August 8. Superintendent D. L. McMillan gave the address of welcome. This was fol- lowed by a short talk from Mr. George Bishop, secretary of the Stambaugh Township Development Bureau. Then Mr. R. A. Turner, state club leader, took charge and he kept the gang bub- bling with hilarity until bedtime. At nine bells the sleep call was sounded, but it was the first night in camp, so “nuff said.” On the following morning, Tuesday, August 9, after the camp had break- fasted and performed their tent duties, Mr. H. E. Dennison, dairy specialist of the ‘Michigan Agricultural College, took the boys in charge and gave them a very practical judging demonstration with dairy cows. The girls, too, were busy with a camp cookery class conducted by Miss Mary V. Hall, Iron county club agent. , At dinner hour, Mr. Turner announc- ed the results of his tent inspection. The Iron county tent won first place, and Schoolcraft second among the boys. Among the girls, the Alger and Dickinson county tent won first place and the Iron and Gogebic county tent second. During the forepart of the afternoon the boys were in charge of Mr. G. W. Putnam, crops experimenter of the Up- per Peninsula Experiment Station. He conducted the boys through a tour of all the experimental plots and explain- ed the different phases of work which he was carrying on with crops adapted to, upper peninsula conditions. The girls were in charge of Miss Hall and Miss Van Heulen in a handicraft class. After the afternoon classes the boys engaged in a county baseball contest for the camp championship. The Iron county team played Schoolcraft, and an Alger-Baraga county combination played a Gogebic- Dickinson combine, which resulted as follows: Iron coun- ty, 4, Schoolcraft 7; Alger-Baraga 8, Gogebic-Dickinson 5. The girls, too, had their play session with Miss Carrie Moore, Schoolcraft, county club agent in charge. The day’s events were terminated with a "Weenie Roast,” which consist- ed of, as Ted Stenson from Baraga county said, “Hoop-La, nothing to do but eat.” - At nine bells the camp Was all asleep because of the strenuous day. On Wednesday, August 10,‘ breakfast and tent duties were set aside, the boys were generaled through a practical sheep judging demonstra- tion by Mr. D. L. McMillan. After the work with sheep, Mr. H. E. Dennison gave the boys some judging work with hogs. The girls spent the forenoon in mas- tering some advanced points in camp after , everything was set in readiness for the championship base ball contest be- tween the Sohoolcraft county aggrega- tion and the Alger-Baraga combine. After a lengthy duel which was re- splendent with errors and misplays, the Schoolcraft outfit nosed out-a nine to eight victory, thereby being the camp baseball champions. The girls again enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in their handicraft work, af- ter which they made an endurance hike to Rock River, a distance of three miles from the state farm. The boys had supper alone on. this evening and were forced to wash their dishes because the girls were slow in coming» in from their hike. ' However, everything was cleared away in good The Parade Was Chuck Full of Fun and Facts. cookery under the direction of» Miss Hall. At noon mess Mr. Turner at the helm, again announced the results of his tent inspection. First place tent for boys, Gogebic- Menominee county tent. Second place tent for boys, School- craft county.

After dinner the boys were taken for a trip through the potato disease plots. This work was handled by J. E. Kotila, of the plant-pathology depart- ment of M. A. C. Mr. Turner also had all the poultry club members together in preparation for the poultry culling contest. This demonstration was well attended both by club members and adult visitors at the state farm.

After the girls had returned and fin- ished their supper, a stunt night was in vogue around the camp fire. The stunts consisted of funny stories, sol— os, games, dialogues and songs in na- tive tongue by foreign speaking club members. Music was also furnished by the Grand Marais Orchestra, which consisted of Lawrence Tellier and his mouth organ. Ted Stenson and Mor- gan Edwardson were the prize clowns on this evening. On Thursday morning, August 11, the crowds of farmers began to ap- pear. After an early breakfast the club members prepared camp in shape for the visitors. , At eight 3. m. Mr. Dennison called the live stock contest 'to order. He was assisted by Mr. P. G. Lundin, of Manistique, who had charge of the sheep; Mr. Karl Miller, of Iron Moun- tain, who was in charge of the cows, and Mr. Floyd Manby, who was in charge of the pigs. Each of the forty- five members entered in the contest had to judge pigs, sheep and dairy cows. They were allowed twenty min-_ utes to judge each class, four animals in each ring. Mr. H. E. Dennison scored the pa- pers for placings and reasons, and the following results were submitted: First Prize Team.———Iron county, Iver Peterson, 506; Russel Hartley, 472; Andrew Waite, 450. Team score, 1, 428 out of a possible 1, 800. George Bishop, leader. -Second Prize Team.—T_ed Stenson, 485; Reuben Kinnunen, ‘469; Morgan Edwardson, 464. Team score, 1,418 out of a possible 1,800. L.

A portable outfit was used to display five reels of film furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture. -The first of these, “Out of the Shadows," illustrated the rela- tion of bovine tuberculosis to human people; a second showed home conven- iences; a third, the use and food value of milk; a fourth, silo building at home, and a fifth, grade dairy sires and their daughters. Local business associations which aided by purchasing pure-bred sires and placing them by means of draw~ ings in cooperation with merchants, were the Gladwin Chamber of Com- merce, Lake City Chamber of Com- merce, Osceola Chamber of Commerce, Big Rapids Exchange Club, and Conk- lin and Ravenna business men. These drawings never failed to rouse unus- ual interest and to attract large num- bers of people. Most of the sires placed were from eight months to a year old.

Ward ROPER’ housing is essential in profitable swine production. The largest financial returns are ob- tained only when dry, comfortable and convenient housing conditions are pro- vided. It is a mistake to think the hog does not need to be protected from the weather. Having been originally a native of comparatively warm cli- mates, nature has not provided the hog with much in the way of protective covering. It is true it has layers of fat, when it is fat, which offer protec- tion, but there is not the thick coat of hair or wool with which other farm animals are provided. Again, it is rec— ognized that the best way to guard against the ravages of disease is to provide sanitary conditions. These considerations, together with the pos- sibility of saving. much labor in a well- planned house over a poorly planned one, makes it important to give much thought and study to the problem of housing swine. In 1918, W. J. Carmichael, secretary of the National Swine Show, through questionnaires sent to men whose names were obtained from county ad- visers, published a survey of one hun- dred and ninety-two farms in which he presented a table showing the various causes of litter losses. The average number of brood sows in the herds was fourteen. They rar- rowed an average of 7.63 pigs, and weaned an average litter of 5.72 pigs. The total loss was 24.95 per cent. The various causes and the percentage of the loss due to each are given here- with: Crushed by sows 29.13 Farrowed weak 22.34 be something in the construction of that house to commend itself to farm— ers in a region of cold winters and springs. That very thing happened, not one season merely, but several, and not on one farm only, but many, with a. type of house designed by the Iowa. Agri~ cultural Experiment Station and nam- ed the “Iowa. Hog House.” Its test, not merely on the station farm but on oth- er Iowa farms, has been so satisfac- tory that the station is recommending its use by farmers who want to build a substantial, permanent house for their swine. That this new type of house is so warm, even in the dead of winter, without artificial heat, is due to the fact that it is built of hollow clay tile. The windows in the roof also add to the warmth of the house and especially to its sanitation. They admit sunshine, a broad belt of it eight feet wide the full length of the house, which sweeps everydnook and corner of every pen. and gives every pig a sun bath at some time during the day. That makes for warmth, for physical comfort, for germ destruction, for health and for strength. All these things have been secured, not at a prohibitive cost, but at a cost that is well within the reach of the substantial farmer who wants to build a. hog house that will stand for twenty years, or fifty or a hundred for that matter.

A poorly ar- ranged and improperly equipped hog house may be the cause of losing a. great deal of money as long as it is used. This survey was made on farms on which a. good many hogs were raised as is seen by the size of the breeding herd. Undoubtedly, they are managed by men who raise hogs extensively and take better care of them than or- dinarily is the case. It is perhaps no more than fair to assume that the percentage of losses due to hog-cholera on these farms was lower than the average, but it is just as reasonable to assume that the other percentages are lower than'the aver- age and that the total losses from all causes are less than the average. And yet, even among these men, al- most fourteen times as many hogs are lost by not being housed properly than are lost by cholera. Which fact leads us to wonder how many millions of dollars worth of hogs could be saved if hollow tile houses, equipped with proper equipment, were universally adopted.a When a hundred or more pigs may be farrowed in cold midwinter in a house that is unheated, without the SAGINAW FAIR POSTERS RURAL' SPIRIT. THE Saginaw Fair has succeeded unusually well in attracting interd est of the rural residents of the dis trict around Saginaw. In this it has been one of the great factors in the activities which have made: Saginaw Valley one of the most progressive diS< tricts in the state. That the judgment of the manage ment is correct in making this afarm- ers' fair is indicated by the fact that in eight years it has developed to be one of the greatest county fairs in‘ the country. This year's fair, which will be held from September 12 to 17, inclusive, promises to greatly surpass the shed loss of a. single pig, there is. likely to _ cessful fairs of the past. \ ‘i‘-‘mhi-Ts‘D‘-°'<7v-""O ‘i‘ 9 wv—‘U , Gombault’s Camila» Balsam Has lmitators But No Competitors A Safe.

For a la time, the conductor scru- tinized ol Sammy. The gateman’s mumblings were clearly fruitless; if Eaton were not the man’s real name, old Sammy was unable to find any other which fitted. As Connery watch- ed, old Sammy gave it up. Connery went out to the train. The passengers who had been parading the platform had got aboard; the last five to arrive also had disappeared into the Pull- mans, and their luggage had been thrown into the baggage car. Connery jumped aboard. He turned back into the observation car and then went for— ward into the next Pullman. In the aisle of this car the five whom Con- nery had just watched pass the gate were gathered about the Pullman con- ductor, claiming their reservations. Connery looked first at Eaton, who stood beside his grips a little apart, but Within hearing of the rest; and then, passing him, he joined the Pull- man conductor.

A decrease of possibly ten per cent in winter wheat acreage. in the The market outlook for corn is much less satisfactory than f0r wheat. Val— ues remain near the lowest of the year in spite of fairly broad demand from industries as well as for export. Also sales to eastern consuming sections have apparently been larger than were reported to the trade. Sales by pro- c ducers have been falling off in the last crop range around 3,125,000,000 bush~ dry weather.

It is estimated that thirty-one per cent of the crop has already been marketed, whereas ordi narily only thirty-five per cent of the crop leaves the farm. Prices are ex- tremely low and the possibility of a. further decline is quite small compar- ed with the chance of a material ad vance before the end of the crOp year. SEEDS Seed markets declined further dur- ing the past week, due apparently to a growing belief in the case of clover that prices were out of line with other farm products. Timothy also is quoted slightly lower. Reports on alfalfa seed production show a big decrease in the acreage cut in Kansas compared with last year.

POTATOES Potato markets declined during the past week as a result of liberal sup- plies chiefly from New Jersey, Maine, New York, Idaho and Colorado. Min- nesota Early Ohios are quoted at $1.50 60175 per 100 lbs. sacked, on the Chi- cago market. No. 1 New Jersey Cob- blers are quoted at $3.10@3.15 and Giants at $1.85@2.15 per 100 lbs sack- ed. Private reports point to a crop of only 284,000,000 bushels as compar- ed with 430,000,000 harvested last year. BEANS Trade has been so sluggish that sell- ers have not been able to maintain price advance of last week. The in- clination has been to shave prices a. little. CHEESE A decline on the Plymouth Wiscond sin cheese market discouraged buyers but prices were not low enough to at- tract those in search of bargains. Hot weather prevents shipments to south- ern trade and is the principal factor. in the softness of the market. Late in the week the Chicago market and country points showed improvement, especially on daisies, but not much change is expected until cooler Weath- er brings increased buying power. Prices for No. 1 American cheese as reported by the bureau of markets are as follows: Chicago.——Twins 181/3@19c; single daisies 181/261,)191/20; double daisies 18 61118340; longhorns 19672200; square prints 201/2@210.

MEMBERS of the Oakland County Horticultural Society and farmers from other sections, met August 29, at Franklin in Oakland county, and discussed at length plans for the es- tablishment 0f community markets in Detroit. Business men from Detrort were also present. It was decided _to begin operation of the first community market in Detroit as soon as the nec— essary funds can be raised. John A. Russell, president of. the Detroit Board of Commerce, the agri- cultural division of which is active. in the promotion of the community mar- ket, was the principal speaker. Mr. Russell, speaking from the standpoint of the consumer, pointed out how De- troit has grown away from marketing facilities adequate a score of year ago. He mentioned that when the eastern market was built, comparatively few people were living east of it, and that today more than one-fourth of 3. mil- lion people are living north and east of it. He pointed out how people in the city are recognizing that prosperity depends upon living costs in Detroit being kept on an even keel with living costs in other large cities. He told the farmers that they could count on rea- sonable cooperation from the city in intelligent effort toward improvement of marketing conditoins so that the city could obtain as much of its food as possible from nearby territory and as cheaply as was consistent with quality. The plant of the operation of a com- munity market was described as being divided control between producers and consumers, with buying and selling on a cost basis, with profits so limited that service to the community would be the primary reason for existence. Besides Mr. Russell, the speakers in- cluded: E. J. Ver Dynn, president of the Oakland County Horticultural So- ciety; W. D. Biggers, of Detroit; Wm. C. Otto, secretary of the Pontiac Cham- ber of Commerce, and Walter G. Bra- .den, manager of the Pontiac Commu- nity Market, which this week opened its second branch in that city. FARM BUREAU PICNIC WAS WELL ATTENDED. BOUT 3,500 people attended the first annual farm bureau picnic, held at the County Park north of For- ester, Friday, August 26. Hon. Louis C. Crampton, our congressman, James Nicol, president of the Michigan State Farm Bureau, Miss Elba Morse, county nurse, were the principal speakers. Mr. Crampton discussed in length the great need of economical appropria- tions. The farmers were greatly inter- ested in what Mr. Nicol had to say of the great developments of the Michi- gan State Farm Bureau, both from the financial and business standpoint. The information as given out by Miss Elba Morse about the great need for the betterment. of child welfare in this county attracted much attention. Much interest was created among the members of the different farm bu— reau locals as to who would obtain the prizes as offered to the locals having the largest attendance. This brought out about 650 automobiles from differ- ent parts of the county, with Croswell in the lead represented by about one hundred automobiles. The‘awarding of the second prize had been left to a committee for decision for Minden City, Deckerville, Carsonville, Sandus— ky and Snover were also in large at— tendance. Games and sports made up the morn- ing program, with music furnished by the _Lex1_ngton Band, and a community picnic dinner was enjoyed at noon. The day was brought to a close by a ball game between the northern half of the county and the southern half, which-was won by the members rep— resenting the southern half .

Last winter the leg stocked some, but now the leg is swollen from hoof to hip. Can you tell the cause of this ail- ment? M. R., Hawks, Mich.-——Usually the exciting cause is feeding too much grain and lack of exercise a torpid condition of the secreting and excret- ing glands of body will if not correct- ed, lead to a thickened condition of the leg. Give him one dram of potassium iodide in feed or water two or three times a day. Gentle hand-rubbing, regular exercise, feeding no grain when idle, bandaging leg after the stocking has been exercised out of it, Will have a good effect. Congested Udder —— Indigestion—I have been a reader of the Michigan Faimer for many years, but have fail- ed to find this question answered. Ev- ery three or four weeks my cow’s udder swells to about twice its normal size; the next milking her milk is slightly clotted and thick, but by‘the next milking udder is normal. She shows no symptoms of sickness and seems to be in good health. M. C. 0., Mason, Mich—The congestion of ud- der will be promptly relieved, by giv- ing her half a pound of epsom salts in one quart of water, feed less food and foment udder with warm water every four hours until she is well. A sud- den change of weather from hot to cold, or change of feed, will sometimes cause udder to swell. Barrenness.——Have young cow that has been milked twice a day for the past twelve months. She has been served on different dates by four dif- ferent bulls without getting with calf. Part of the time she came in heat ev- ery ten days, sometimes every two weeks, while occasionally she goes for three weeks. Will you tell me what can be done for her? G. R. E., Har- risville, Mich—Sterility or barrenness is a symptom and not a disease; it can have a great many causes. The most common causes, however, are: Dis- ease of the uterus, often a chronic catarrh the result of retained after- birth or abortion. In some cases chron- ic catarrh of the womb, or canal in neck of uterus, or vagina, are the cause of failure to breed. In some cases sterility may be due to the ov- aries which are cystic or fibrously de- generated, or tumors, or an adhesive peritonitis with displacement of the ovary. Furthermore, the uterine tubes may be closed. In some cases tuber- culosis of the uterus or ovaries is a case. The treatment consists in re- moving the cause. Irregular heat pe- riods lead me to believe you have cys- tic ovarian trouble. Ask your veter- inarian to examine her, with a view of ascertaining the cause, if cystic, he can crush the cysts through the rec» tum,i then she will perhaps breed. llllllllllllllllllllll Illllllllllllllllll Light the hen house a few hours each night and morning with the Coleman Quick-Lite Lantern.
