AY, Martha, listen to this.’

It was Frank Anderson

who spoke. He had left the

boys to finish washing the automobile be-

fore the evening meal was ready while he

came in, to read a letter from his brother

who lived in Ohio. “Bill tells here of a

neighbor’s wife who has walked 5,710

miles and carried 2,000 tons of water.”

“Bill must. be improving in his figures,”

was the. casual rejoinder of Mrs. Anderson.

“I judge these are not Bill’s figures. It

seems that a survey of farm homesis be-

ing made in LawrenCe county. .During

this survey extension men from the uni-

versity who are doing the work found this

woman, now sixty—five years old, who for

the past fifty years has been carrying the

water needed by her household from a well

kitchen floor and one hundred and forty

feet away from the house. And now, after

a half century they have learned that it

will require an expenditure of only $18 to

pipe the water right into the poor woman’s

kitchen.” ..



“Strange, isn’t itfionly yesterday at the

community club this matter camelup for

discussion. Mrs. Chapman gave a ten-min

ute talk' on the farm home water supply.

Evidently she had informed herself on the

subject for among other interesting things

she included a statement on the number

of homes having running water. Accord-

only one home in every five

per cent of the women carry the water

needed in their homes from wells outside.

I presume Bill’s neighbor is one of these

women although she ‘arried the water

t'arther than the majority, for Mrs. Chap-

man said that these wells are located an

average distance ol’ forty-one feet from the

Before Mrs. Anderson had finished this

speech her husband had gotten out his

much used pencil andbegan figuring on

the corner of a newspaper. After a few

moments he lifted his head and replied,

“Mrs. Chapman hit it just about right, for

this community, at least. In the six sec-

The as a result of the

Rm 1 road strike vote by the

Strike members of the four





great “brotherhoods”

of railway workers in operative depart-

ments. and the consequent strike or-

der issued by the executive heads of

their respective unions. in view of the

principle involved, as well as the ser-

iousness-of the situation. it is import-

ant .that the public which must suffer

as a consequence of this action and

at a time when the average citizen had

more than enough troubles without

this complication, should have the

clearest possible understanding.“ the





situation and the events which have





led up to it.



It is unnecessary to review the his-

tory of government operation of the

railroads as a war measure, or to give

more than passing mention to the fact

that railroad labor costs. In common

with labor costs in most other indus-

tries, more than doubled during the

war and post-war periods. it is sum-

cient to note the tremendous deficit

under government operation and the

fact that the railroads were turned

back to private Operation with these

costs at the peak point and at a time

when the oncoming business depres-

sion reduced their revenues to an

alarming extent. There was, however,

more occasion for alarm on the part

of the public than the railroad oper-

ators. due to the government guaran-

tee of rettu‘ns written in the transpor-

tation act under which rmlroad rates

were boosted to the maximum point.

as a. means of making up operating

deficits. Yet the deficits continued, due

to the low ebb of the volume of trans-

portation, and the railroads were in-

sistent in their demands for a substan-

tial cut in labor costs, which the un-

ions resisted just as insistently. This

contention was finally adjudicated by

the United States Railway Labor

Board, created under the transporta-

fion act, which awarded a general re-

duction averaging twelve per cent in

the wages of railway workers, effec-

tive last July.



The acceptance or rejection of this

award was made the subject of a mass

vote among \the membership of the

that great unions of railway opera-

tives. although later events have serv-

ed to confuse the issue. This vote re-

mltod in substantial majorities in fa-

m of the rejection of the awaid and

the calling of a general railroad strike'

. suds d the unions. The calling of

' m git m 30 h the scout





 





 





of this Me. Most the better judg-

mcnt. it is said. of the heads of at

least some of the unions involved.



To the average. fair minded citlscn.

this action on the part of the railroad

unions under present conditions is in-

comprehensible. Certsinly they can

have no lust expectation of the support

of public opinion. This action will

further stagnate business and post-

pone the day of its rehabilitation. and

immeasurably 'increase the already

acute sufferings of hundreds of thou-

sands if not millions of unemployed

workers. Apparently they have no

Just grievance which warrants this

drastic step. They have not been forc-





ed to accept the arbitrary views of.





their employers in the matter. They

have had their day in court. The re-

jected award was made by a judicial

body created by law for the protection

of the interests of the public, the

workers and ,the capital invested in

transportation facilities alike.



0n"the other hand, the railroad com-

panies have confused the issue by

posting notices of another cut in wag.

es on the eve of the calling of the

strike. While this proposal would have

to go before the Railway Labor Board

for adjudication on protest of the un-

ions before it could become operative,

it serves to lend color to the claims

of the union spokesmen as to the justl~

fication of their action. The further

fact that this latest move of the rail-

roads was accompanied by the state-

ment that any further reduction in la-

bor costs would be voluntarily passed

on to the public in the form of reduc—

ed freight rates, has introduced anoth-

er factor into the situation through a

proposal made by the public group in

the Railway Labor board as a possl.

ble basis for the settlement of the

strike. This proposal is for an imme-

diate reduction in rates commensurate

with the July reduction of the wages

of railway workers.



Under these conditions the issue

would seem to be clearly between the

government and the unions. since the

strike is in protest of a government

award and the strike order is said to

include mail trains in its application.

This is perhaps fortunate, as it will

tend to make the final outcome more

reflective of the consensus of public

opinion than would otherwise be the

case, and the definite and early settle-

ment of the underlying principles in-

volved in this contest is undoubtedly

desirable.





RE is a prac-

tice from which a





Robbmg few farmers do not

a. ‘9 appear to be able to

F welds divorce themselves.





This practice consists

in burning the refuse from some of

the crops which they grow. In reg-

ions where the potato is widely grown.

one often finds the farmer raking to-

gether a luxuriant growth of potato

vines and applying the match. In oth-

er parts, the clover chaff-pile is gotten

rid of in the same manner and not in-

frequently iarge straw stacks are made

literally to go up in smoke.



Thoughtful farmers concede this

practice to be unsound except in cases

where the control of plant diseases is

in question and can only be met by

this drastic measure. Otherwise this

practice of burning crop wastes is

wrong from the standpoint of good

husbandry because it robs the soil up-

on which the crop grew, of vegetable

matter needed in the restoration of its

productive power. Generally speaking,

we farmers think too lightly of the

value of an abundance of_ vegetable

matter or humus in the land we till.

For giving physical fitness, water-hold-

ing capacity. proper chemical reac-

tions and readily available plant food,

decaying vegetable matter has no peer.

General Tershgng receives wild wot;
N educatiOnal campaign, state



wide as its objective, .to increase



the acreage of alfalfa, clover,

sweet clover, vetch and legume and

grass crops in general, is being plan-

ned by the farm crepe department of

the Michigan Agricultural College in

conjunction with the leaders of many

of the agricultural and industrial agen-

cies in Michigan.



The present season has demonstrat-

ed to a-great extent, particularly in

,western and northern Michigan where

a prolonged drought raised havoc with

many forage crops, the need of a larg-

er acreage of alfalfa and other legum-

inous crops. In some sections of the

state the only hay crop to yield nor-

mal or near normal, was alfalfa and

these fields stood out like cases in a

desert. ,



The proposal is receiving the. in-

dorsement of practically every agricul-

tural agency in the state and if the

plans are carried out as the promoters

have suggested, the campaign may be

conducted similar to the “better sire"

train which was such a pronounced

success in its swing through twenty-

flve counties of the state early in

August.



Prof. J. F. Cox of the farm crops de-

partment of the Michigan Agricultural

College, is one of the leading forces

and enthusiastic promoters of the cam-

paign. In discussing the western Mich-

igan side of the campaign with Wil-

liam P. Hartman, secretary of the

Western Michigan Development Bu-

reau, he stated: ‘



“I’have made several recent trips

through western Michigan and am

more convinced than ever of the great

need of increasing the acreage of a1-

falfa, clover, sweet clover, vetch, leg-

ume and grass crops in~general. I note





that farmers who are having success





with alfalfa, or are using sweet clover





are having much greater

and live





in rotation,

success I with other crops

stock.



“Potatoes, corn, beans, grain crops,

live stock and fruit production are all

directly or indirectly benefited by the

growing of more legumes. Alfalfa and

sweet clover have done surprisingly

well where rightly handled. It has

been increasingly difficult to get good

stands of clover. It is chiefly a ques-

tion of getting farmers to follow the

rules of growing these crops, getting

the right seed, and on most farms lim-

ing the land with ground limestone or

marl in order to insure success. I

know of no greater service that could

be rendered in western Michigan than





’A Broaderuse of Legumes





Is tee Oéject ofez Big Cooperative Campaign for Mz'eflz'gafl





the widespread encouragement of

these foundation crops. The same is

true of other Michigan localities.



“I believe that the Michigan Depart-

ment of Agriculture, the Western

Michigan DeVelopment Bureau, the

Grand Rapids & lndiana Railroad Ag-

ricultural Department, the Michigan

Agricultural College, County Agricul-

tural Agents, the Farm Bureau, Crop

Improvement Association, and other

farmers' organizations, acting together

during the winter and spring, could do

a great deal in encouraging the acreage

of alfalfa, clover, sweet clovcr, and

other legumes, utilizing the facts now

available and putting on a definite and

well COordinated campaign during the

coming winter and spring.



“This campaign would consist of a

numerous articles in country papers,-



possibly a legume, limo, phosphate and

manure train, and cooperation with the

farm bureau and dealers in getting

supplies of seed, ground limestone

marl, acid phosphate of the right qual-

ity and at the best rates."



in all probability from the indorse-

mcnt given the proposal by Mr. Hart-

man, of the development bureau, Prof.

(firm has suggested that a conference

to outline the Western Michigan cam-

paign he held, either in Grand Rapids

or East Lansing early this fall inor-

dcr that thc movement get well under

way soon after snow files.



“This campaign

and emphasizes the very greatest need

in Western Michigan,” said Mr. Hart-

man. “If we are to improve our agri-

cultural status, wc must encourage

the growing of more legumes. _



“There are many things to which

western Michigan, because of soil, cli-

matic conditions and geographical lo-

cation, is naturally adapted and fore-

most is an immediate substantial in-

crease of our live stock industry, the

grazing and feeding of sheep, cattle

and hogs, and enlarging the facilities

of our dairy industry.



“The hcttcr sire train was a whirl-

wind of a succczng Undoubtedly it has

proved to he the biggest agricultural

promotion feature cvcr put over in

western Michigan, or for that matter,

in the state. As I see it, we need an-

other train of like character yet this

fall. Next in order a train featuring

soil fertility, growing of legumes, use

of lime, fertilizers, etc. Third, a land-

clearing demonstration train. Fourth,

a fruit train serving’the fruit districts

of western Michigan.”—R.





Value of Egg Peels Demonstrated





OOPERATION has made immense



strides in agricultural Canada



during the past few years, ’and

without a doubt in no other line has

it been more thoroughly worked out

than in the handling and marketing of

eggs. Both the federal and the pro-

vincial governments have bent their

energies to the work and have accom-

plished wonders in the comparatively

short time they have been laboring.



The cooperative egg circle is an as-

sociation 01 ganlzed among farmers for

the purpose of marketing eggs frequent-

ly and regularly through a common

medium. The object is to maintain

the quality of eggs ‘as they leave the

farm and to place them in the hands

of the consumer with the least possi-

ble delay, and in the best possible

condition. , .



In Prince Edward Island the system

has, perhaps reached a greater com-

pleteness than in any other section of

Canada. In the constitution of the

Egg and Poultry Selling Association

adopted in pursuance of the provisions

of an act of the legislature of that

province, the objects are set forth as

the “encouragement of the production

and marketing of eggs and poultry and

6f matters connected therewith, the

supervision of encouragement in such

enterprises .as may be deemed advis-

able in order to facilitate the more

profitable production and sale of the

product of the members; the encourag-

ing of the purchase of improved

strains of high-producing poultry ” ’ f,



A board of seven directors is elected

and tile officers. of each egg circle are





 





a collateral demand ‘





By Ear/e





amount not exceeding $25. The board

is authorized to employ an egg collect-

or. Each local' circle is required to

turn over a small percentage to the

association to meet unavoidable ex-

penses. Each circle also reports annu-

ally to the associatiom and keeps the

association posted. An arbitration

board is appointed of three members,

chosen by the board of directors of the

association. Arrangements are made

for the assistance of the circle in case

of the organization sustaining finan-

cial loss.



Members of an egg circle are re-

quired to deliver their‘eggs not for

housekeeping or breeding purposes, or

to be sold for breeding purposes, at a

time and place determined by the





fV. Gage





board of directors of the local egg cir-

cle. A11 eggs are required to be un-

broken, clean, and not more than one

week old, weather and roads permit-

ting. No member is allowed to dis—

pose of eggs through an egg circle

from hens other than his own. such

are the main features of a typical egg

circle.



The experience of Prince Edward Is-

land previous to the organization and

adoption of the permanent system of

cooperation was very much the same

as that of Denmark. Years ago a trade

experts to Prince Edward Island, who

succeeded in inaugurating the industry

on the basis that presently exists.



In Quebec, the necessity of better

regulations regarding egg production

and methods of marketing was recog-

nized five years ago. Methods .were

adopted at a centralized meeting for

carrying out projects which have since

been continued with much profit to the.

poultry trade of the province. The

Provincial Department of Agriculture

has also taken a wide and active in-

terest in work in this direction. It can

be stated that while the value of eggs

shipped from the various egg circles in

the province in 1916 amounted to $17,-

803. 67, a lesser number of eggs in 1917

sold for $20, 6393 .The present annual

sales approximate $40,000. This in-

crease of revenue is due to a consid-

erable extent to the systematic stand-

ardization of the market product,

which in its turn is to be attributed

to cooperation.



Speaking on the subject of this co-

operative sale of eggs, Auguste Trun-

del, manager of the Quebec Cheese-

makers’ Cooperative Association, said:

“Great progress has been made in the

cooperative sale of eggs and this pro-

gress will become still more marked

when the trade can be diverted from

the channel which it has constantly . "

3 {NEW WHEAT FOR NORTHERN

‘» MICHIGAN.





 





' former manager of the Upper Pe-

ninsula Development Bureau, before

relinquishing the immediate direction

of the bureau’s affairs, was to order

ten bushels of Wisconsin No. 8

wheat from the experiment station at

Ashland. This wheat, understood to

have been developed at the Ashland

station, is said to be superior to Red

Rock .in yield and quality, and to be a

very highly favored type in northern

Wisconsin. It will presumably, there-

fore, be well adapted to northern Mich-

igan. It is to be distributed through





the Marquette office with a view to its.





trial and probable introduction to the





.farms of northern Michigan. It is re-

ported to have enjoyed a premium of





ten to twelve cents per bushel in the

Duluth market, to which Wisconsin

farmers are now shipping it by the car-

load—CHASE.





THE NEW FEDERAL HIGHWAY

ACT.





 





HE federal highway act, as approv-



ed by the conference committee

of congress provides that each state

through its state highway department.

must designate a system of highways,

which shall not exceed seven per cent

of the total mileageoi‘ each state. Fed-

eral aid apprOpriations are limited to

this system until the same has been

completed. This seven per cent sys-

tem is divided into two classes, pri-

mary state highways and secondary

or intercounty highways. The primary

system shall not exceed three-sevenths

Of the entire system, and the second-





NE of the last acts of J. A. Doelle,.





ary mustconnect with the primary?

system.



The secretary of agriculture has au-

thority to approve a part of the sys-

tem and also projects which he knows

will be on the system when finally ap'

proved. Not more than ‘sixty per ‘cent

of the funds allotted to each state shall

be expended on the primary system

until the entire system has been pro-

vided for, except that more than sixty

per cent may be used in any year pro-

vided joint approval is made between

the secretary of agriculture and the

state highway department. Whenever

a statehas provided for the construe

tion Of a seven per cent system, addi~

tional mileage may be added to the

system whenever \funds are available.

HAY PRICES FLUCTUATE.





 





PRICES for alfalfa, prairie and tame



hay move up and down almost with

regularity. When prices advance, the

country movement is stimulated, and

as the offerings increase, quotations

begin to slip, having an opposite effect

on the flow from the interior. It is

folly to talk lower prices for alfalfa

even though the market situation is

bearish, as values already are near a

basis which show a net loss to the pro

ducer. The movement of hay from the





west is of insignificant volume. Michi-

gan, normally a moderate buyer of

prairie hay in Kansas City, shows an

almost total lack of interest in the

offerings—S.

now all the farmers, about twenty per

cent have running water in their

And along this line be it said that

the percentage of farm homes with an

easily available water supply is bound

to increase rapidly. This twenty per

cent is leavening the whole farm popz

ulatipn. With a better knowledge of

farm engineering these’ people have

come to know that the installation of

running'water is possible under al-

most every condition and in a great

majority of homes no difficult prob«

lems are involved.



The percentage will grow also 'be-

cause running water is'the key to the

introduction of many of the conven‘

iences which farm folks are now seek«

ing. ,The advent of the bathtub, the

indoor toilet, the kitchen sink,'the hot

water heater, all more or less dependa

ent upon running water, will not only

relieve the women folks of the farm

from much drudgery, but will also

give them a sense of living up to the

possibilities of the times. And this

sense of pride is even a more import«

ant factor in the routine work of the

woman’s life than it is in the more

varied work of men.

appointed by the State Farm Bureau

executive committee as general man-

ager of that organization. In this ca-

pacity, Mr. Brody is authorized, as in

the past, to have general supervision

of the business departments of the

farm bureau. A. J. Rogers, of Beulah,

A bought on the basis of prices

prevailing'in the war period. A

fifty per cent indebtedness is not un-

common, and that calls for the dollars

received when, prices were high and

to be'paid when prices have fallen

around one hundred per cent. What

is the probable outcome is the question

that men ask themselves. Many are

wondering what their own future will

be and what equity have they left.

Forecasting on this subject is by no

means certain. Economics is the study

of business relations which embraces

physical, “mental and political facts. ,,

The present day plight of agriculture

is that it pays 'out $1.00 and receives

therefore Sixty-five cents in exchange

for other commodities which he buys.

On debts created at the peak, hegmust

pay back a dollar that has tw‘ice the





' purchasing power which existed at the





time the debt was created.

Agriculture by lack of complete or-

ganization to resist was made to bear.

an undue portion of this price-decline.

Labor has said, “we will not accept

less wages.” Industry has said, “we

cannot, so long as labor holds out for

high wages.” In a general way there

is a cessation of activities industrially

until this is settled. This is outside

of agriculture and the industries Hen-

gaged directly in manufacturing mate-

rial produced on the farms, like the

meat packing industry for example

Other reasons are given, such as lack

of European outlets, etc. Since ninety





' per cent of the business of the United





States is internal, the big item of im-

portance is at home. ’



To place the situation in another

way, it is like a pot-luck supper where

the farmers \furnish the supper because

the others have little to contribute.

'Food and clothing are the primary

needs of the world. High incomes

make luxuries a necessity rather than

the primary needs. The deadlock is

on and industries outside of agricul-

ture are waiting, for lower wages and

lower taxes. In the meantime they eat

and are compelling low, farm prices

until conditions are made possible for

renewed production: Just as the son

out of ’work in the city comes back

to the farm for temporary support, so

all are back to the farm for a brief

period to eat and be clothed. The

farmer gladly supports his son, even

though he may have spent his high

wages unwisely.



I hope this homely illustration is ap-

preciated because it is of primary im-

portance in understanding financial

crises, viz., that all continue to eat

and wear the farmer’s products and

that low prices are forced on farm

products by the necessities of those

who must be supported. This state-

ment of fact is not one of approval,

and the defenselessness of agriculture

is the lack of organization to resist

and the spirit of non-resistance sup-

ported by the uneconomic economist

who talks about the law of supply and

demand as an explanation. Gresham’s

famous maxim about cheaper money

displacing the better might be ampli-

fied or another maxim be stated, that

in a crisis the necessities of life fall

in price more rapidly because the pri-

mary needs supplant secondary ones.



In understanding this situation there

is the immediate hope of the farmer

for better times which will be hasten-

ed by increases of credit and the al-

ways reaction that -comes of daring

leadership, of starting to do something;

es of farm products lower to them by

a‘better system of marketing. England





per cent above pre-war prices and liv-

ing costs in England are also about

the same rate. England’s producers

are reasonably prosperous. The best

economic thought is that agricultural

prices will finally reach that basis in

the United States. The time depends

on conditions which no one can safely

forecast. The main contributing con-

ditions are confidence and credit which

constitute one of the Christian tenets

called faith. This is certain and is a

national trait and already discernible.

Second, the crop conditions for next

year. Third, agricultural organization.

The farm bureau, projects of the grain

growers, the wool pools and live stock

organizations are the most important.

It is the exact truth today, the farm

bureau is the main line of defense

against agricultural peasantry in the

United States. The continuation of

production at less than cost menaces

the whole national fabric, and ulti-

mately leads to the civilization found

in Asia. To supply food and clothing

as needed at the reasOnable profit ac-

corded to other industries is sound

The in-

dividual is hopeless. With organiza-

tion he: attains to his rightful economic'

plan.



To the man who has bought a farm

and is heavily in debt and depressed in

mind, the best advice is to stick. You

can win out. However, don’t go it

alone, but support agricultural organ-

ization—J. N. MCBRIDE.





“DON’TS” FOR BLASTERS.





 





THERE is little danger in stump

blasting, providing the operators

do not become careless and neglect

the essential precautions. Millions of

pounds of explosives are being set off

annually through the cutiover regions

in preparing virgin timberlands for

cultivation. It is dangerous to handle

frozen explosives. Some of these ma-

terials freeze at comparatively high

temperatures while others do not

freeze at all. When you buy your ex-

plosive ascertain from the dealer at

what temperature it will freeze, and

secure detailed directions for thawing

it out if you must use it in cold weath-

er. Always store explosives and blast-

ing caps in dry places, keep them sep-

arated and be sure that they are look-

edin storage places not accessible to

children. Remember that blasting caps

are very sensitive and. have more

“kick” than a high-power rifle bullet.

Hence, handle them with extreme cau-

tion, and never carry blasting caps in

your pocket. Never attempt to remove

blasting caps from the packing box by

prying them out with a nail, wire, or

any other sharp or hard object. Never

attempt to withdraw the wires from an

electric blast cap. ,

Mileage Costs Cut 1 "





Why Wob’st Felt Shoes

Wear Longer





HERE is a reason why both men and women get

more miles of wear per dollar out of Wobst Felt Shoes

than from any other kind—felt or leather.





Wobst shoes are made better. They contain only the finest



' grade of wool-felt—not cow-hair and glue; they have gen-

uine fibre counters—not cheap paper ones; wherever upper

leather is used it is all grain—not “split”. Workmanship

is of the best—some of the men in the Wobst plant have

been making shoes for 35 years.





Because the Wobst Shoe Company is the largest exclusive

manufacturer of felt shoes in America, it can take advan-

tage of every economy of quantity buying and large scale

production methods. Thus Wobst Shoes cost no more

than ordinary felt shoes—in fact, they actually cost less be-

cause they wear logger.





The Wobst line includes both men’s and'WOmen’s plain

felt, leather foxed and full vamp shoes—either unlined,

grey felt or wool-fleece lined—with choice of felt, com-

bination felt and leather, and all leather soles. If no

store near you carries Wobst Shoes send us the name of

your shoe dealer and we will see that you are supplied.





Men’s No. 75 1





This 9” Blucher style shoe, with its



heavy black felt upper, is exceedingly



popular with the man who looks for ’ ‘

extreme shoe durability and foot com- -

fort. Where leather is used, it is se—

lected all grain—not “split”. Lining

is of high-grade grey wool-felt; sole is

combination felt and leather; rubber

heel. Sizes, 6 to 11.





Women’s No. 542





Style, smooth fit, comfort and warmth

are all combined in this 9" shoe. The

black heavy felt upper and the fine-

textured grey-felt lining are genuine

wool-felt. The single grain-leather sole

is extremely pliant. Leather heel; kid

tip. Sizes, 3 to 8.

teen cows. I intended to put two rows

of stalls east and west. One row fac-

ing the barn floor, the other facing

the gamble end, with a driveway wide

enough for a manure spreader be-

tween. Also an alley and silo on the

north. Now, which would be the best,

an alley along the front row of stalls

or feed from the barn floor? There

was a dairyman here selling barn

equipment. He told me to put the rows

of stalls north and south with a feed—

ing alley in the center, the cows fac-

ing each other. He says that it hurts

the cows facing the light, that to be

sanitary the light should be on the

gutter instead. Which do ygu think

the best way the cows facing the out-

side or inside of the barn?



Genesee Co. P. M.





My idea is that where you want two

rows of cow stalls is to have the cows

face out and a wide area between the

two rows so you can drive through

with a manure spreader or manure

“truck. This reduces to a minimum the

labor and cost of handling the manure

which is the hardest and most expen-

sive job on a dairy farm.



Your barn equipment expert is right

in a way. Where animals or man have

to constantly face direct light it will

in time injure the eyes, but with cat-

tle that eat out of low mangers, espe-

cially where the front of manger is

high enough so that it shades some-

what, it is not nearly as bad as for

horses, that eat out of high mangers

and their eyes are directly in range

with light constantly. Ordinarily I do

not think you would have any trouble

in a cow stable from injury to the

eyes from this cause, at least this is

not my experience.



On' the other hand, your cows are

kept under better sanitary conditions

when they face out, they have better

air to breathe. I do not like the idea

of cattle breathing in the faces of oth-

er animals standing directly.

‘mers OF PURCHASER UNDER

LAND CONTRACT.





A buys eighty acres from B, paying

$500 down and a land contract is

drawn up for the balance of $2,300.

the purchase price being $2,800. The

contract provides‘for a payment of

$100 per year with interest, thus mak~

ing the contract for twenty-three

years. For three years A has kept up

his payments as agreed. But now A is -

not in a position to make the next

payment and tells B that he cannot

enforce payment, nor can he remove

him from the land until the exporation

of the contract, providing A pays taxes

on this land. Can B remove him and (

take possession on failure of A to

make payment, or can A hold posses.

sion for the life of the contract with«

out making further payments—E. F.

Whenever the payments are in an

rears under a land contract the ven<

dor may take proceedings under the

summary proceeding statute to recover . 1'.

possession of the property. This sta- '

tute requires notice of at least two

days to the purchaser to appear be—

fore the justice of the peace or circuit

court commissioner, and on hearing

and judgment he has thirty days to

pay the amount found due the vendor

and costs; and if such amount is not

paid within the thirty days, the vendor

may have a writ of restitution to put

him into immediate possession—J. R. i





 





 





 





FIXTURES.





 





We moved on this place with the in‘

tention of buying it and paid some

money down, put a barn on it 30x36,

which is not on a foundation. We have 5'"

been forbidden to take anything off.

Dare we take the henhouse? We have

lived here nine years. Please answer

as we are leaving the twenty-first of

this month—A. . '





The general rule is that fixtures an‘

nexed with intention to make them

permanent annexations to the free

hold, become a part of the land, and

cannot be afterwards removed by any‘

one but the owner of the land. This

intention to make the annexation per<

manent may be manifested by the

method of annexation, the adaptability, _

to the use, the comparative value an‘

nexed and removed, the interest of

the party annexing at the time of an-

nexation to make the addition perma-

nent, etc. From the circumstances of

this case we do not doubt that both

the barn and henhouse would be re-

garded as permanent fixtures. The rule

on these particular , facts would be

quite diffa‘ent if the same annexation

had beenqnade by a tenant for one or'
- so, much for rurai homes, sanitary and

Yes, if they are operated according





to instructions.





 





CONTAMINATION OF WELL.





 





How far sh old the barn be from the

well ‘to malt sure the water is -not

contaminated by the seepage from the

barn?——F. W. C. _



No one can say. It depends upon

the nature of the ground formation.

The best answer to this question is,

“as far as possible.”





 





PURITY OF WATER.





 





How/can I tell whether the water

from our well is pure or not? Is there

anything we can put in it to kill possi-

ble ,impurities?—-—H. L. K.



Write to the laboratory of the State

Department of Health for a container

and instructions for collecting sample.

Send sample to the laboratory of the

State Department of Health and you

will receive a reply in due time.



Treatment for the purpose of puri-

fying the water in a private well is

not practicable.





 





USES FOR TRACTOR.





 





Can I use the tractor to advantage

in other work than plowing? Some

who have had no experience question

the advisability of counting on the

tractor for other than the work of

plowing. '



Osceola Co. J. S.





In general the answer is “Yes.” It

can be used for discing, seeding, har-

vesting, threshing, silo filling and in

fact all belt work necessary to bedone

on the farm. It can be used in hay-

ing, in spreading manure, digging po-

tatoes, grinding feed, baling hay,” shell-

ing corn, sawin’g wood; in road grad-

ing, stump pulling, rock removal,

ditching, and in practically every

place where power is necessary.—F.





 





A HARD MILKER.





 





I have a three-year-old Holstein heif-

er that is hard to milk. She is a fine

youngcow and gives a large flow of

milk. This is her second year and she

does so well I want to keep her. What

can I do toward making her easier

to milk?—~J. B. '



The reason your cow milks hard is

because the little sphincter muscles at

end of teat contract too much, leaving

a‘very small opening for the milk to

pass through, consequently it comes

through in a fine stream. This condi-

tion can be remedied by persistent and

careful work. Sometimes all that is

necessary is to have a man with a

strong hand milk the cow just as soon

as she freshens, and milk fast, forcing

the milk through this orifice in large

streams. This dilates these sphincter

muscles and usually they will not con-

They are so shaped that when they

THE AUTO-OILED AERMOT R





A Real Selt-Oiling Windmill mamas"





Oil an Aermotor once a year and it is always

oiled. Every movmg part is completely and fully

oiled. A. constant stream of oil flows on every

bearing. The shafts run in oil. The double gears run in

oil in a tightly enclosed sear case. Friction and wear

are practically eliminated.



Any windmill which does not have the gears runningin oil isonly

half oiled. A modern windmill. like a modern automobile, must have

its gears enclosed and run inoil. Drygears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly. -

Dry bearings and dry gears cause friction and loss of power. The Aennotor

pumps in the lightest breeze because it is correctly designed and well

oiled. To get everlasting windmill satisfaction, buy the Aermotor. -

NEW ACTIVITIES IN FRUIT woRK.





 





Grand Rapids, an understanding was

reached with the management of the

‘Michigan Agricultural College to de-

vote more attention during the coming

year and years to fruit growing and

the many problems affecting the in-

dustry.



For a long time the fruit growers

on the west side of the state have felt

that their industry has not received

the amount of attention from the col—

lege authorities that it should. They

pleaded their case before the members

of the state board, in the presence of

Prof. David Friday, president-elect of

the college, and as a result, they have

been assured that their interests will

be properly taken care of under the

administration. They were given as-

surances that all experimental pro-

jects, especially the Graham experi-

mental farm near Grand Rapids, would

be better financed.



It is the plans of the horticultural

department of the college to make the

western Michigan farm one of the larg-

est experimental projects of its, kind

in the United States. It now' has an

acreage of 100 acres, nearly all set out

to fruits of all kinds. Purchase of ad-

ditional land is under consideration

but no action in that direction was

taken at the recent meeting as far as

could be learned.——D. L. R. \V

THE DECLINE IN APPLE OR-



CHARDS.





 





ECENT figures released by the

Census Bureau are interesting as

they show that apple growing is not

being overdone, although the general

lead a person to





The census figures Show that in

1910 there 151,322,840 bearing trees,

while in 1920 there were only 115,285,

000, or a decrease of over thirty-six

million trees. Newly set, or non-bear-

ing tree figures give one the real sur-

prise as there is a considerable de-

crease in 1920 as compared with 1910,

the number of non-bearing~tr-ees in

1920 being 36,171,604,.Whi1e those of

1910 numbered 65,791,848. This shows

a decrease of nearly thirty million

trees.



As there has been. an increase'in

the bearing and non-bearing orchards

in the west, these figures show the





 





 





decline of apple orcharding in the cen—

tral and eastern parts of the 4Qeountry.

It shows for one thing, the gradual

elimination of the old farm orchard

which has never known modern or-

chard care. It should also make one





: realize that there are opportunities in





this part of the country for apple or-

charding which is carried on in a bus-

iness-like manner. Western . apples

will never be such serious competi-

tion as to make the efficiently manag-

ed eastern orchard, with its market

right at hand, an unprofitable venture.

In fact, western orchards are now

working to greater disadvantage than

ever before because of freight rates.

CHRISTMAS SEAL CAMPAIGN.





 





RURAL people realize the destruc-



tiveness of tuberculosis through

its work among cattle. It has caused

considerable loss in many herds. This

disease has also been serious among

human beings and has taken its toll

among farmers as well as in the urban

centers.



Because of this, the Michigan Tuber-

culosis Association is looking to the

rural communities for a strong support

of the Christmas seal campaign

through which the association gets its

only means for carrying on public

work in tuberculosis eradication.

‘MUCH LAND CLEARING IN PROS?

PECTF





FTER having secured some 42,000



pounds of TNT, last spring, for

land-clearing purposes in Houghton

county, Mr. L. M. Geismar, agricultural

agent, has recently placed an order

for 90,000 pounds of picric acid, under

the recent distribution of this explos-‘

ive, for the same, purpose, which rep-

resents about one-seventh of the state’s

total allotment. Mr. Geismar estimates

one hundred pounds as ample to clear

an acre of land, and in some cases less

than this amount. It is evident that

Houghton county is determined to

bring under the plow a very much





 





larger area of its excellent agricultural -,





land. Agent Johnson, of Alger coun-

ty, estimates his county’s present re-

quirements at some 16,000 pounds.

The Iron County Agricultural Commis-

sion has recently ordered a carload of

picri’c acid, which, with previous or

the colder months but once the milk

ure and lack of nutritious feeds it is

almost impossible for the animals to

HIGHER PRICES FOR “CULTURE"

SWISS CHEESE.





HE manufacture of Swiss cheese



from purified and controlled cul

tures is an American development.

Federal investigators and scientists

have perfected the method which has

been worked out on a practical scale

at the dairy laboratories in connection

with the commercial factories at Grove

City, Pa.



Michigan dairymen will be interest-

ed in the results which. have been ob

tained by two Ohio factories where

the culture method of making this type

cheese has been given a fair trial. For

the cheese made in June of this year

one of these factories received a

straight piicp of 341;; cents a pound;

the othei factmy, 30 cents. At the

same time other factories in this area

received from 20 to 22 cents. Only

one of them succeeded in selling for

as high as 25 cents. For the July prod

uct, one of the factories received 36

'cents for fancies and N0. 1, and 27

cents for No. 2. The old-system fac-

tories received the same price as for

June cheese.

gThe principal reason the buyers

were willing to pay this margin over

the general run of cheese made in the



locality was that the percentage of

‘ high-grade cheese had been greatly in-

creased. In June one of these two fac-

tories made 94 per cent of fancy and

No. 1 cheese and the other 90 per cent

1 whereas many factories using the old

’ method make only 25 per cent of this

class of product.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





STEERS GRAZED ON CUT-OVER

who pioneered the way for the

better sire movement in Michigan by

the exchanging of forty-seven pure-

bred bulls for scrubs in Wexford coun-

“new method of clearing cut-over lands

it in northern Michigan. He has been

I? conducting a number of experiments

during the past season, the most suc-

cessful of which was the grazing of

cattle on these lands.

Early last spring he turned sixty

head of cattle out to pasture in a cut-

over tract and the only attention he

gave them all summer was to see that

they had plenty of salt licks. The an—

imals did a great deal of browsing and

trampled and killed much underbrush.

They had done considerable in clean-

7, ing up the land, making it possible for

ii men to remove the trees and remain-



ing bushes in a short time. Late ,in

‘ September he shipped the steers to

Everybody has always believed that the

only way to get more heat was to feed the

furnace more coal. The Moncrief system is

better and cheaper. It gives you a warmer

house by circulating a larger volume of air

around the furnace and up into your rooms,

not by the burning of additional fuel. The

Moncrief Pipeless Furnace provides the

biggest volume of air circulation because

its casings or air chambers are extraordi-

narily large.

Every square inch of the surface of the

“About two years ago.”



“For what?”



“It was some operation on the gall-

“Performed by Kuno Garrt?"



Avery hesitated. “I believe so.”



He watched Sinclair more closely as

he continued his examination; the sur-

geon had glanced quickly at the face.

on the pillow and seemed about to

question Avery again; but instead he

laid the pajama jacket over the bod;r

and drew up the sheet and blanket.

arm. “What. must be done, Doctor?

And where and when do you want to

do it ?”



Sinclair, however, it appeared, had

not yet finished his examination. “V\'ill

he directed.



As Connery, reaching across the

body, complied, the surgeon took a.

“Strike a light and hold it as I direct

He lifted the partly closed eyelid

from one of the eyes of the uncon-

scious man and nodded to Eaton;

"Hold the light in front of the pupil.”



Eaton obeyed, drawing the light

slowly away as Sinclair had directed,

and the surgeon dropped the eyelid

and exposed the other pupil.



“What’s that for?” Avery asked.



“I was trying to determine the ser-

iousness of the injury to the, brain. I

was looking to see whether light could

cause the pupil to contract.”



“Could it?” Connery asked.



“No; there was no reaction.”

and operated upon within two years by

Kuno Garrt!" Kuno Garrt operated

only upon the all-rich-and-powerful or

upon the completely helpless and

poor; the unconscious man in the

berth could belong only to the first

class of Garrt's clientele. The sur-

geon’s gaze again searched the fea-

tures in the berth; then it shifted to

the men gathered about him in the

aisle.



“Who did you say this was?” he

demanded or Avery.



“I said his‘name was Nathan Dorne,"

Avery evaded.



“No, no!” Sinclair jerked out impa-

tiently. “Isn’t this—” He hesitated,

and finished in a voice suddenly low—

ercd: “Isn't this Basil Santoine ?"



Avery, if he still wished to do so,

found it impossible to deny.



"Basil Santoine.” Connery breathed.



To the conductor alone; among the

four men standing by the berth, the

name seemed to have come with the

sharp shock of surprise; with it had

come an added sense of responsibility

and hOrror over what had happened to

the passenger who had been confided

to his care, which made him whiten as

he once more repeated the name to

himself and stared down at the man in

the berth.



Conductor Connery knew Basil San-

toine only in the way that'Santoine

Was known to great numbers of other

people—~that is, by name but not by

sight. There was, however, a reason

why the circumstances of Santoine's

life had remained in the conductor’s

mind while he forgot or had not.

heeded the same sort of facts in re

gard to men who traveled nruch more

often on trans-continental trains. Thus

Connery, staring whitely at the form

in the berth, recalled for instance San-

toine’s age; San’toine was fifty-one.



Basil Santoine at twenty-two had

been graduated from Harvard, though

blind. His connections—the family

was of well-to—do southern stock—his

possession of enough money for his

own support, made it possible for him

to live idly if he wished; but Santoine

had not chosen to make his blindness

an excuse ,for doing this. He had dis-

regarded, too, the thought of foreign

travel as being useless for a, man who

had no eyes; and he had at once set

tied himself to his chosen profession

which was law. He had not found it

easy to get a start in this; lawyers

had shown no willingness to take into

their offices a blind boy to whom the

surroundings were unfamiliar and to

whom everything must be read; and

he had succeeded only after great ef-

fort in getting a place with a small and

unimportant firm. Within a short time,

well within two years, men 'had begun

to recognize that in this struggling

law-firm there was a powerful, clear,

compelling mind. Santoine, a youth

living in darkness, unable to see the

men with whom he talked or the doc-

uments and books which must be read

to him, was‘beginning to put the stamp

of his personality on the firm's affairs.

A year later, his name'appeared with

others of the firm; at twenty- eight, his

was the leading name He had begun

to specialize long before that time, in

corporation law; ‘he married shortly

after this. At thirty, the firm name

represented to those who knew its par-

ticulars only one personality, the per-

sonality of Santoine; and at thirty-five

—-though his indifference to money was

proverbial—~—he was many times 8. mil-

lionaire. But except. among the small

and powerful group of men who had

learned to consult him, Santoine him-

self at that time was utterly unknown.



There are many such men in all

countrieswmore, perhaps, in America

than anywhere else——and in their

anonymity they are like minds without

physical personality; they advise only,

and so they remain out of public view,

behind the scenes. Now and then one

receives publicity and reward by being

sent to the senate by the powers that

move behind the screen, or being call-

ed to the President’s cabinet. More

often, the public knows little of them

until they die and men are astonished

by the size of the fortunes or of the

seemingly baseless reputations which

they leave. So Santoine—consulted

continually by men concerned in great

projects, immersed day and night in

vast affairs, capable of living com-

pletely as he wishedh'had been, at the

age of forty-six, great but -not famous,

powerful but not publicly known. At

that time an event had occurred which

had forced the blind man out unwiiL

lingly from his obscurity.



This event had been the murder of





the great western financier Matthew.





Latron. There had been nothing in

this affair which had in any way shad-

owed dishonor upon Santoine. So

much as in his role of a mind without

personality Santoine ever fought, he

had fought against Latron; but his

fight had been not against the man but

against methods. There had come then

a time of uncertainty and unrest; pub-

lic consciousness was In the process of

awakening to the knowledge that

strange things, approaching close to

the likeness of what men call crime,

had been being done under the unas-

suming name of business. Government

investigation threatened many men.

Latron among others; no precedent

had yet been set for what this might

mean; no one could foresee the end.

more strongly against Latron than per-

haps against any of the other western

“men. He had been among their big~

gest; he had his enemies, of whom im‘

personally Santoine might have been

counted one, and he had his friends,

both in high places; he was a world

figure. Then, all of a sudden, the man

had been struck down—killed, because

of some private quarrel, men whispers

ed, by an obscure and till then un

heard- of man.

’ The trembling wires and cables,

which should have carried to the wait-

ing world the expected news of La»

tron’s conviction, carried instead the

news of Latron’s death; and disorder

followed. The first public concern had

been, of course, for the stocks and

bonds of the great Latron properties;

and Latron’s bigness had seemed only

further evidenced by the stanchness

with which the Latron banks, the La<

tron railroads and mines and public

utilities stood firm even against the

shock of their builder's death. Assured

of this, public interest had shifted to

the trial, conviction and sentence of

Latron's murderer; and it was during

this trial that Santoine's name had

become more publicly known. Not that

the blind man was suspected of any,

knowledge—much less of any complic-

ity—in the crime; the murder had

been because of a. purely private mat~

ter; but in the eager questioning into

Latron’s circumstances and surround-

ings previous to the crime, Santoine

was summoned into court as a witness.

The drama of Santoine’s examinad

tion had been of the sort the public~

and therefore the newspapers—love.

The blind man, led into the court, sit<

ting sightless in the witness chair, re<

vealing himselfby his spoken, and

even more by his withheld, replies as

one of the unknown guiders of the des-

tiny of the Continent and as counselor

to the most powerful——himself till then





.hardly heard of but plainly one of the





nation’s “uncrowned rulers”—had

caught the public sense. The fate of

the murderer,, the crime, even Latron

himself, lost temporarily their interest

in the public curiosity over the person.

ality of Santoine. So, ever since, San-

toine had been a than marked out ; his





goings and comings, beside what they'





might actually reveal of disagreements

or settlements among the great, were

the object of unfounded and often dis‘

turbing guesses and speculations; and

particularly at this time when the db

cumstances of Warden’s death had

proclaimed dissensions among the pow

e1 ful which they had hastened to deny,

it was natural that Santoine’ s comings

and goings should be as inconspicuous

as possible.



It had been reported for some days

that Santoine had come to Seattle di<

rectly after Warden’s death; but when

this was admitted, his associates had

always been careful to add that San-





I——By Frank R. Leet

purely in a personal capacity, and the

impressio’n was given that Santoine

had returned quietlynsome days before.

The mere prolonging of his stay in the

affairs among the powerful were truly

in such state as Warden had proclaim-

ed; this attack upon Santoine, so sim-

ilar to that which had slain Warden,

and delivered within eleven days of

Warden’s death. must be of the grav-

est significance. ,



Connery stood overwhelmed for the

moment with this fuller recognition of

the seriousness of the disaster which

had come upon this man entrusted to

his charge; then he turned to the sur-

geon. ,

“Can you do anything for him here,

Doctor?" he asked.



The surgeon glanced down the car.

“That stateroom—is it occupied."



“it's occupied by his daughter."



“We'll take him in there, then. Is

the berth made 3”



The conductor went to the rear of

the car and brought. the porter who

had been stationed there, with the

brakeman.' He set the negro to mak-

ing up the berth; and when it was iln-

ished the four men lifted the inert

figure of Basil Santoine, carried it into

the drawing-room and laid it on its

back upon the bed.



“I have my instruments,” Sinclair

said. “I'll get them; but before I de-

cide to do anything, I ought to see his

daughter. Since she is here, her con-

sent is necessary before any operation

on him.”



The surgeon spoke to Avery.“ Eaton

saw by Avery's start of recollection

that Hal/riot Dorne’s——or Harriet San-

toinc’s—friend could not have been

thinking of her at all during the recent

moments. The chances of life or death

of Basil Santoine evidently so greatly

affected Donald Avery; that he had

been absorbed in them to the point of

forgetting all other interests than his

own. Eaton’s own thought had gone

often to her. Had Connery in his di-

rections said anything to the trainmen





“guarding the door or to the passengers





on the platforms, that had frightened

her with suspiCions of what had hap-

pened here? When the first sense of

something wrong had Spread back to

the observation car, what word had

reached her? Did she connect it with

her father? Was she~—the one most

closely concerned—among those who

had beeif on the rear platform seeking

admittance? Was she standing there

in the aisle of the next car waiting for

confirmation of her dread Or had no

word reached her, and must the news

0 fthe attack upon her father come to

her with all the shock of suddenness?





Eaton had been about to leave the

car, where he now was plainly of no

use, but these doubts checked him.



“Miss Santoine is in the observation

car,” Avery said. “r11 get her."



The tone was in some way false—

Eaton could not tell exactly how. Av-

ery started down the aisle.



“One moment, lease, Mr. Avery!”

said the conductor. ”I'll ask you not

to tell Miss Santoine before any other

passengers that there has been an at-

tack upon her father. Wait! until you

get her inside the door of this car."



“You yourself said nothing, then,

that can have made her suspect it'?”

Eaton asked. '



Connery shook his head; the cons

ductor, in doubt and anxiety over ex-

actly what action the situation called

for——unab1e, too, to communicate any

hint of it to his superiors to the west

because of the wires being down——

clearly had resolved to keep the at-

tack upon Santoine secret for the time.

"I said nething definite even to the

trainmen," he replied; "and I want you

gentlemen to promise me before you

himself that all agreed. As Avery left.





the car, Eaton ’found a seat in one of

the end sections.near the drawing-

room. Sinclair and the conductor had

returned to Santoine. The pérter was

unmaking the berth in the next sec-

tion which Santoine had occupied, hav-

ing been told to do so by Connery;

the negro bundled together the linen

and carried it to the cupboard at the

further end of the car; he folded the

blankets and pht them in the upper

berth; he took out the partitions and

laid them on top of the blankets. Eaton

stared out the window at the bank of

snow. . He did not know whether to

ask to leave the car, or whether he

ought to remain; and he would have

gone, except for the recollection of

Harriet Santoine. He had heard the

rear door of the car open and close

some moments before, so he knew that

she must be in the car and that, in

the passage at that end, Avery'must

be telling her about her father. Then

the curtainlat the end of the car was

pushed further aside, and Harriet San-

toine came in.



She was very pale, but quite con-

trolled, as Eaton knew she would be.

She looked at Eaton, but did not Speak

as she passed; she went directly to

the door of the drawing—room, opened

it and went in, followed by Avery. The

door closed and for a moment Eaton

could hear voices inside the room—~

Harriet Santoine's, Sinclair’s, Con-

nery's. The conductor then came to

the door of the drawing-room and sent

the porter for water and clean linen;

Eaton heard the rip of linen being

torn, and the car became filled with

the smell of antiseptics.



Donald Avery came out of the draw-

ing-room and dmpped into the seat

across from Eaton. He seemed deeply

thoughtful—so deeply, Indeed, as to

be almost unaware of Eaton’s pres—

ence. And Eaton, observing him, again

had the sense that Avery’s absorption

was completely in consequences to

himself of what was going on behind

the door—in how Basil Santoine's

death or continued existence would

aifect the fortunes of Donald Avery.



“is he going to operate?” Eaton

asked.



“Operate? Yes; he's doing it,” Av-

ery replied shortly.



“And Miss Santoine?”



“She’s helping—handing instruments

and so on.” -

Avery could not have replied, as he?

did, if the strain this period must imfi

pose upon Harriet Santoine had been,





much in his mind. Eaton turned from

him and asked nothing more.

time passed—mow long, Eaton could

not have told; he noted only that dur-

ing it: the shadows on the snowbank

outside the window appreciably chang-

ed their position. Once during this

time, the door of the' drawing-room

was briefly opened, while Connery

handed something out to the porter,

and the smell of antiseptics grew sud-

denly stronger; and Eaton could see

behind Connery the surgeon, coatless

and'with shirt-sleeves rolled up, bend-

ing over the figure on the bed. Finally

the door opened again, and Harriet

Santoine came out, paler than before,

and now not quite steady.



Eaton rose as she approached them;

and Avery leaped up, all concern and

sympathy for her immediately she ap

peared. He met her in the aisle and

took her hand. ‘



“Was it successful,

asked.



She shut her eyes before she an-

swered, and stood holding to the back

of a seat; then she opened her eyes,

saw Eaton and recognized him and sat

down in the seat where Avery had

AST year, about ten days before

Hallowe’en, the mail carrier left

a little square; buff envelope ad-

dressed in black ink in our mail box.

Upon opening it, I found it contained

a buff card on which was written:

“At Bonnie Vale Farm on All Hallow-

. e’en

An old-fashioned party is going to be

seen.

The crowd is a small one; just twenty

we’ll ask.

A prize will be given for the cleverest

mask

That is made out of corn husks and

just your own size;

The best costume present will also win

r a prize.

Now hunt up some ideas, ransack your

brain through,

And don’t disappoint us, for we are

counting on you.”





Upon our arrival at the party, we



were met at the gate by a ghost who

silently slipped out from behind some

shrubbery and escorted us to a rear

window of the house. We scrambled

in and found ourselves in a wierdly

lighted room decorated in yellow ears

of corn with the husks on, and lighted

only by Jack O’Lanterns. The ears of

corn, as a Hallowe’en decoration, were

a charming variation of the usual trim

mings for Hallowe’en entertainment.

There were a. great variety of cos-

tumes;but the favorite material seem-

ed to be bright-colored cheesecloth or

bunting, closely followed by yellow

and orange colored crepe paper. The

prizewinning costume was worn by a

black-haired girl. She represented a

pumpkin. Her costume was made af-

ter the style of a clown suit, but much

fuller. It was of pumpkin-colored

crepe paper and gathered full at the

neck and ankles.

The mask which won the prize was

made by a boy. The upper part was

made of one large corn husk with

holes cut out for the eyes and nose.

The cheeks were painted with water

\colors and a long beard made of the

shredded corn husks was attached. A

“booby” prize was also given for the

poorest costume and mask.





The prizes were dainty neckties or

handkerchief boxes, made by the clev-

er fingers of the hostess. The founda-

tions were candy boxes. The tops were

well paddedwith cotton sheet wad

ding and‘neatly covered with silk. The

sides of the boxes were covered with

folded corn husks, prepared as fol-

lows: The husks were cut in pieces

'two inches long and one inch in width.

They were then folded lengthwise

Next they were folded so that the

edges that had been previously folded

were side by side, leaving a point at

the top These were sewed securely

to the boxes in rows, beginning at 'the

top. Each row hid the stitching of the

preceding row and the bottom row was

sewed at right angles to the others.

The points_stuck about one-third of an

inch above the top of the box, making

a very pretty decoration. The boxes

were then neatly lined and the result

wasso attractive that every girl at the

party resolved to make one for herself

in the near future. A box can be made

in an hour.



The “booby” prizes were ears of

corn dressed like comic dolls, in yel-

low crepe paper.



To find their partners fer the even-

ing, the boys were each given a slip

An Unusual Hallowe’en Party

By Nelle Portrey





requested to hold the paper over a

lighted candle for a moment after

.which the name became visible.



Of course,’a Hallowe’en party would

not be complete without having every

one’s fortune told. For this we re-

paired to the elawn, where we were

each given an end to a string and told

to follow it to seek our fortunes. Much

laughter ensued. The strings criss-

crossed and ran in and out among the

shrubbery in every conceivable way.

When the ends were finally found, our

fortunes were discovered, written on

paper which was wrapped in corn

husks and tied to the end of strings.



Next a variation of the old game,

“Bobbing for Apples,” was enjoyed.

The apples had numbers carved on

them; two of each number. ”Each girl

and boy were allowed to keep the ap-

ple they succeeded in biting. After

everyone had an apple, the numbers

were compared. When two girls or

two boys got apples numbered the

same, they were to be old maids or

bachelors; but when a boy and a girl

got apples with numbers that corres-

ponded, they were to be married be-

fore the next Hallowe’en.





We were then blindfolded and led

back to the house, one at a time, by a.

ghost.

objects and encounters were met be-

fore we reached the house. Once when

I stumbled over ‘a broomstick laid

across the path, a being with cold

clammy hands assisted me to my feet

and asked in a hollow voice if I could

direct him to the nearest graveyard.



Once something warm and furr‘y

brushed against my face, and again I

‘felt a little dash of cold water thrown

directly in my face.



During our absence, a rubber sheet

had been hung across the upper half

of the doorway so, although I was

groping before me, my hands reached

below the sheet and you can imagine

how I felt when my face struck against

the cold rubber.



My guide then led me across the

room and asked me to shake hands

with a friend of his, at the same time

giving me something very much the

shape of a human hand. It was the

most gruesome object I ever touched.

It was ice-cold, pliant, and although it

felt as though void of life, it seemed

to wriggle in my grasp. When I drop-

ped it, my guide removed the cloth

from my eyes and I saw before me a.

white-robed figure with a Jack O’Lan—

tern head, and hands (one of which I

held) made by filling rubber gloves

with ice water and tying them shut at

the wrists.



Each couple were then given a small

pie pumpkin and allowed fifteen min-

utes to make a Jack O’Lantern. A

prize was given to the couple making

the best in the allotted time.



Finally we all gathered around a

bonfire and were served to sandwich-

es, pumpkin pie, coffee and popcorn

balls.



A few good Hallowe’en and ghost

stories were told by the light of the

bonfire before reluctant good nights‘

were said.

Womenat West. Mid"





OMEN exhibitors carried away

$862.25 in prizes from the West

Michigan State Fair, held in

Grand Rapids the third week in Sep-

tember. Though more than half of the

exhibitors sent in needlework. women

invaded realms considered the prop-





erty of men.



‘ There were two exhibitors of horses,

for instance, Miss Betta Ferguson, of

Grand Rapids, who had seven fine

roadsters competing, and Miss Mary

Dodson, also of Grand Rapids, whose

pony took a prize, the two exhibits

carrying away $143.



.Marjorie Hompe showed five Guern-

seys from her farm just east of Grand

Rapids, and‘won $20 on them. There

were five prize winners in the poultry

section, with prizes aggregating $36.25.

Canned fruit and vegetable exhibitors

~fourteen in number, carried away

$117.54; eighteen exhibitors in the cul-



' inary department won $89.75; six

promising horticulturists took away

$46.25, and fifty-four needlework art-

ists secured the grand total of $409.50.





The poultry section was in charge of

a woman, Mrs. Colon Brander, who is

assistant secretary of the West Mich-

igan Poultry Association. Mrs. Brand-

er is a city woman, who for a while

divided her time between an ofiice job

and rabbits, and then decided to give

all her attention to rabbit raising, with

the result that her rabbits carried

away six firsts and one secohd prize at

the fair. Mrs. Brander was enthusias

tic over the possibilities in rabbit

raising.



“There’s the white Angora rabbit,

with its long silk wool," she said.

“They are clipped and the wool made

into a fabric not unlike, fibre silk. They





make the finest of felt hat and derb-





ies, a little hook on the end of the

hair making it ideal for this sort of

material. The natural gray Flemish

skins are tanned with oak bark and

made into fox fur for your mud and

neck piece. We can get $12 for a single

skin. The blue Flemish skins make

lovely moleskin pieces. The black

Himalyan, a white rabbit with black

tail and feet, is made into ermine. The

New Zealand, a yellow-fumed rabbit. is

dyed black and becomes near seal,

seaiette, sealine, or even seal if you

don’t watch out; dyed dark brown it

becomes beaver, and dyed blue it is

moleskin. Eyen the American blue rab-

bit, with a shorter fur, becomes mole

when it is skillfully handled.”



Mrs. Brander contradicted the com-

mon impression of the layman that

rabbits require a great deal of green

food. “We feed our rabbits dry bread,

reheated until it breaks into pieces,

and in the winter hay, rolled oats and

bread and milk. In the summer when

I have green corn I give them the

stalks,” she said. “Many rabbits can



. be raised withbut ever giving them

water. Waterphowever, gives them a.

smooth, shiny coat.”





Mrs. Brander is a firm believer in

exhibiting and attending the shows.

“It is the only way to learn,” she de-

clared. “Since I dropped everything

but rabbits and poultry and have gone

about exhibiting, my success with my

stock‘has been much‘ greater. One ex-

hibitor here could not tell why her ex-

hibit did not draw prize money. The

birds looked all right to her. But af“

ter talking with the judges she learned

what points to consider in selecting

prize birds, and next year she will be

a winner'.” ‘



Other women exhibitors in poultry

ids. who exhibited White Leghorns and

Anconas; Mrs. Rena Murphy. of Mus-

Doris, ”Muskegon, Golden Wyandottes;

Bantams.



Mrs. Ida. M. Bailey, who had charge

of the culinary department, was as

firmly convinced as Mrs. Brander that

attendance at fairs and studying the

other fellow's exhibits is a great edu-

cative force. ,



“If the woman who wonders why her

bread or cake or pie did not get a

prize would consider it honestly, as it

stands by the prize winner. she would

see where hers fell short," declared

Mrs. Bailey. “Consider this prize-win-

ning pumpkin pie, golden brown,

smooth, fine-grained, with flaky crust,

just the right shade of brown; not

pale, and not scorched or dangerously

near it; and the lemon pie, a perfect

jelly, with frosting firm. The prize

cake is fine-grained and even across

the top, not tilled with air holes, and

not soggy nor’dry. Good bread should

have a smooth, .tender, golden brown

crust, with a spongy tender crumb, the

air holes small and uniform in size.

The loaf should be smooth, and well-

shaped, not bulged out or broken op-

en. Cookies should be moist, dry ones

mean too much flour.





“Then mistakes are made in enter-

ing products' Some entered white

cakes with chocolate frosting as choc-

olate-cakes, while a chocolate cake is

one in which chocolate is used in the

batter. A. white fruit cake was entered

as a dark one, and raised biscuits were

entered as rolls.”





An interesting! feature of the art de~

partment was the number of hand-

made rugs. One beautiful specimen of:

braided rug showed almost perfect

handiwork. A crocheted rug which any

woman could quickly copy was very

attractive. It was in two shades of

blue, crocheted in strips about six inc’h~

es wide, and fastened together with

the two colors alternating. ‘





There were numerous quilts and bed

spreads, and an interesting exhibit of

madecver garments, children’s union

suits cut down from grown-up’s B. V.

D.'s or pajamas, and many an attrac-

tive frock for a small girl made out

of mother's old Sunday best. This ex-

hibit showed especial skill and inge-

nuity on the part of the women .who

did the work. '





 





O

REGARDING THE RURAL SCHOOL.





 





E read with interest and conster-



nation the arraignment of the

rural school, in the Michigan Farmer

of September 24. And, judging from

conditions in the limited area over

which our experience extends, We can—

not feel that the criticism is exaggerr

ated.



Yet why, in view of these facts, do a

greater proportion of country children

than of city children enter and finish

high school courses, doing without dif-

ficulty the same work done by city

children of their age? Why do at least

half—a conservative estimate—of the

class honors each year go to country

children? , And is it true that rural

teachers are so underpaid? We have

understood that only high ,school

teachers—who usually must be college

graduates—and grade teachers who

have been very thoroughly prepared,

for their work, receive higher wages

than ml teachers.



\Or do the conditions to which I call

your attention exist only in southern

Michigan



The only conclusion which at once

occurs to us is the probably false one

that the sons of the soil are either

more intelligent or more enterprising

than their urban cousins. Will some-

one please explain? ' I ask in a spirit





.- .





of inquiry, not controversy ?-—S. McQ.._ .

‘-TH E TEXAS BOYS_’

TRIP.





EUROPEAN





THE thiee Texas farm boys who

were sent to the annual agricultur-

al and live stock show of. the Royal

Agricultural Society of England in July

by the Southeastern Fair Association

as a prize for winning the live stock

judging competition held for boys’ ag-

ricultural club members at the fair in

‘ Atlanta, Ga, last fall, have returned

after a trip rich in experience'and in-

spiration.



The successful boys were Gilbert

Wieting, of Marlin, Falls county; Jack

Turner, of Hillsboro, Hill county, and

Alva Debnam, of La Mesa, Dawson

county, They were accompanied on

the trip by H. H. Williamson, state

agent in charge of county agent work

of the Agricultural and Mechanical

College of Texas; H. B. Ross, county

agent of Falls county; and I. W. Hill

of the United States Department of

Agriculture in charge of boys’ agriculL

tural club work in the southern states.



Show Covered One Hundred and



Forty Acres.



After landing at Liverpool, the party

proceeded to Derby, where the eighti-

eth annual show of the Royal Agricul-

tural Society was in progress. On the

way stops were made at Chester to

see the fine live stock farm maintain-

ed by the Duke of Westminster, and at

Crewe the Americans were given an

opportunity to study the English mar-

keting system. Two days Were devot-

ed to a thorough inspection of the Roy—

al Show, where they saw the most re-

markable exhibition of pure-bred cat-

tle, hogs, sheep and horses to be found

in the Old World, including over 3,500

animals.



The show, which covers one hundred

and forty acres, was the greatest in

the history of the society, the number

of entries breaking all records of the

seventy—nine shdws that have preceded

it. Visitors and buyers were in at-

tendance from Denmark, France, Hol-

land, Spain, and even from the Far

East, looking over the display and

competing in the sales of stock. The

American boys had an unusual oppor-

tunity to see the best in live stock

that English farmers and breeders

have to offer, selected from the sixty

or more breeds of cattle, horses, sheep,

and swine that England can boast;



Hardly second in interest .to the live

stock display was the exhibition of ag-

ricultural machinery, including Euro-

pean and American makes. The ex-

hibit of live stock feeds was another

interesting subject for study, since,

owing to the necessity for importing

a large proportion of the feeds used,

English live stock feeders excel in the

economical feeding of concentrates.





Following the visit to the royal show

the boys traveled to London. A pleas-

ant feature of their stay in London

was their entertainment on the Fourth

of July as guests of the Daily Mail at

VVelwyn. Here they found a young

farmers’ club started by Lord North-

cliffe and patterned after boys’ and

girls’ clubs of this country. Guests at

the luncheon included representatives

of the British Department of Agricul-

ture and fisheries and the American

Embassy. Many cordial invitations

from English farmers andtbreeders to

visit their excellent herds and other

' agricultural enterprises of interest

gave the young Americans the chance

to know their English cousins at first

hand and to taste 'of the hospitality

that is traditional in Old England.



Leaving London, the party went on

a hasty tour through France, Belgium

Our BOYS’ and GirlS’D

School Boys Sec





Y, what a folt of folks in this

grandstand I ” exclaimed Earl

Rhodes, state fair school boy from Ben-

zie county, to his chum, Joe Mallinger,

from Crawford county. Reserved seats

in the center of the grand stand had

been given them for one afternoon

during the fair. The immense struc-

ture was packed with fair visitors

when we took this picture of the boys

waiting for the big show to begin.

One boy from each of nearly eighty

counties in Michigan made up the hap-

py bunch. Each one of these boys

stood highest in the eighth—grade ex—

aminations held in each county last

spring and won a week’s trip to the

fair with all expenses paid by the state

fair board. And they had the time of

their lives and learned more of a

greater variety of things than they

could secure in a year’s study from

text books.



“I’ll bet there’s more folks in this

big grand stand than we have in our

whole county,” said Earl to Joe.



“I don’t believe it,” replied Joe, “but

Crawford county is smaller than Ben-

zie, and it might be easy enough to

chuck all our folks in.” But both boys

and others may be surprised to know

that the entire population of both

counties might be seated in that fair

grand stand. I



Some of the boys while at the fair

found out for the first time that there

were boys’ and girls’ agriCultural clubs

all over the state and that a number

of teams were at the fair to give team

demonstrations—J. H. B.





 





 





and the Netherlands, returning to Lon-

don and from there to Edinburgh, from

which point as a center several short

trips were made into rural Scotland,

including a visit to the farm of the

famous Shorthorn breeder, William

Duthie, near Aberdeen.





CALF CLUB HOLDS CONTEST.

HE members of the Cloverland

Calf Club of Iron county, had its



competitive judging contest on Sep-

tember 22. The bOy winning the high-

est average received a loving-cup pre-

sented by the Iron River Stambaugh

Reporter, while the boys making the

three highest averages will have a free

trip to the International Live Stock

Show at Chicago. The contest took

place in the presence to Prof. O. E.

Reed, head of the dairy department of

the Michigan Agricultural College, who-





 





graded and awarded honors to the

boys whose calves graded the highest.

The Diamond Drill of Crystal Falls,

quotes Professor Reed to the efiect

that “these calves showed the highest

MY SEWING CLUB STORY.





 





I HAVE made three garments in my



first year of sewing and I think I

have done' quite Well; I love sewing

anyway.



The old saying is that you can lead

a horse to water but you can’t make

him drink. That’s justithe way with

me, you can lead me to the sewing

class, but you can’t make me quit.





 





 





Jay Seymour and His Minnesota Qhampion Sow which Took Him Ten





Minutes a Day to Raise.





_, it has a headache. ,





 





My first garment was a sewing bag

and apron combination, then my next

garment was a bungalow apron. First

I made my pattern and then I laid my

pattern on the material to cut my ap-

ron out, then I basted it up the sides

and the hem also. I made the pattern

an inch longer for shrinkage and three

inches for hem. I basted up the neck

and sleeves and then I started my

stitching. First I made French seams

up the sides and‘then I made my hem

and there I found some fun. I had to

rip the hem out and make it all over

again.



The third garment I made was a.

nightgown. I took the pattern I had

for my apron and cut my nightgown

out by' it, but, of course, I made it

longer. I made it just like I did my

apron only I didn’t have ric-rack on

the neck and sleeves and I didn’t have

a belt on it either.



I love the sewing class and sincerely.

'THEY SAVE US FROM POISON.





 





VERYONE learns that animals live



through breathing in from the air

pure oxygen and breathing out poison-

ous carbon dioxide. But how many

ever stop to think where the poison

goes after it is breathed out and where

our fresh supply of oxygen comes

from?



Leaves are four-fifths water and al-

most all the rest carbon They get

the carbon from the air, breathing it

in through multitudes of tiny mouths.

In one square inc-h of a lilac leaf there

are 160,000 mouths. These arifices

take into the leaves of the world the

one million carloads of carbon dioxide

that are passed daily into the atmos-

phere. The leaves break up the carbon

dioxide into its original elements, car-

-bon and oxygen. The-y retain the car-

bon and give us back pure oxygen in

return. Thus they maintain a natural

equilibrium; we owe our very exist-

ence to the trees and plants.



Without the microscope-we should

never have known about the mouths

of the leaves and whatan all-import-

ant part they play in our lives—Amer-

ican Boy.





 





Says Sam: “Farr-ning’s uncertain,

but I’d just as soon be subject to the





- whims of Nature as of Human Nature.

Rebuilding





‘SMALL book lies before me,



with the title, “Social Rebuild-



ers," by Dr. Charles R. Brown.

It is worth reading. Certain portions

of Scripture are studied, and the

truths which they teach are applied to

If this were as easy

to do in reality as it is on paper, how

swiftly would the world be overhauled

and rebuilt! What a modern and news-

papery sound it has to speak of Moses

as the “Labor Leader who Freed the

Slaves." And that in effect was what

he did. “The true mark of a saved

man is not that he wants to go to

heaven but that he is willing to go to

China, or to the slums of some great

city, or to'the last dollar of his re-

souices, or to the limit of his energy,

in order to set forward the kingdom of

God on earth.” Moses came from the

ranks. While he was an educated man,

learned in the arts of the Egyptians,

he nevertheless knew the sufferings of

his people. It is not without reason

that the great leaders of men have

come from the humble walks of, life.

They speak from experience, as no

theorist can. Mr. Gladstone, four times

prime minister of England, a son of

wealth, said that in the last fifty years

in almost every one of the great con-

troversies, whether it affected com-

merce or religion or the ballot, “the

leisure class, the titled’class, and the

educated class have been in the

wrong.” At a sitting of the Commis-

sion on Industrial Relations, Mr.

Schaffner‘, .of the firm of Hart, Schaff-

ner & Marx, who are the largest em-

ployers of their kind of labor in the

United States said, “These labor rep-

resentatives are really better informed

on the subjects here treated, and state

their case better than we do.”



And yet this. mighty labor leader

learned some facts that the modern

agitator would well learn with profit.

He learned that violence would not

solve the problem that lay- before him.

He killed a man one day, in the heat

of his indignation, but he never did so

again. Killing folk will not lead to a

better order of things. And he learned

something else. He went away to the

desert, and there he lived and thought.

He had time to think out the question

that had stirred his soul. That is more

we fear, than many a soap-box orator

has ever done. He preSents a mass of

half-baked theories and is filled with

wrath because they are not promptly

adopted. And there in the lonely plac-

es, Moses got a vision of God. When

one gets a square look at God, he is

pretty certain to have hopeful and

helpful views of man. The leaders to-

dayfrom whom we may expect a con-

structive program, are they who have

had an experience of religion.





Probably few persons who attend

church ever read the book of Amos. If

they have read the Bible through, they

would, of course, have come upon this

particular book. But otherwise it has

no attractions for the average man.

Yet it is one of the biggest little books

in Scripture. A chapter in the book

of which we have been speaking, is de-

voted to it. It is entitled, “The Herds-

man who Preached Social Justice.” A

queer figure he must have. been, with

his herdsman’s clothes and his long

hair, appearing in large towns and cit-

ies, warning them to practice honesty

and justice. He told the” people that

the nation would come to' as end if

they continued to indulge deceit, ex—

tortion and oppression. He was right,

for the end, came. Is such preaching

needed now? Never more than now.





“ There is a large class of people who





have so much wealth they are embar-





" assed by it, and seek the most extrav-





again]; inc ods of spending it, while





 





 





the-'World





Our Wefly Sermon—PB)? N. A. Mchme





another large class know not where

the next month’s rent is to be had.

Were Amos an American citizen today

he would be much disturbed by some

things in our national life. On the

other hand, America has an immense

amount of moral vigor. The work of

the Puritan and the simple pioneer

and the lover of freedom has not been

in vain. An appeal to the Christian

sentiment of America is sure to have

a response. A certain eastern univer-

sity professor has said, “The same peo-

ple who have impressed observers as

sharp traders and keen politicians

have surprised the world by acts of

unprecedented magnanimity and self-

denial. What other country ever re-

ceived an indemnity from a foreign

government and returned it, only to

receive it once more in the form of

stipends for the education of youths

sent to the United States by the grate-

ful land? When did another nation

win territory and return it to its oc-

cupants, as in Cuba, or hold it in trust,

as in the Philippines? When did ever

another nation at the end of a war like

that with Spain transport the defeated

army to their homes across the sea?

When did ever a great Power pause

with such scrupulousness before pun-

ishing a weaker neighbor, like Mexico.

and meantime provide for her refugees

friendly shelter and support? Or when

did any other nation, having taken

possession of a strip of land and at

enormous cost built a canal, ever pronl

pose to satisfy its conscience by avol-g

untary payment to the former owners,‘

or to open the canal on equal terms to

the fleets of the world?





IThe fundamental teaching of Christ

is on the worth of every human being.

The worst aspect of war, if we are to

accept what Doctor Brown believes,

was not the treatment of Belgium, nor

any other of those fearful acts with

which we became so familiar, but the

utter decay of the soul of a great na-

tion, Germany. The Germany that had

produced Luther and Goethe and Beee

thoven and Carl Schurz had descended

to such depths that it had chosen as

its apostles and leaders, Nietzsche,

Treitschke and Bernhardi, men who:

laughed at the Nazarene and glorified}

war. Amos was right. Such nationsi

come to the place and the hour ofl

humiliation. As a leading minister has

suggested, would it not be a noble attiq

tude if the nations would take as their

motto that psalm that is dear to Prot-

estant, Jew and Catholic alike—the fif-

teenth? “Lord, what nation shall stand

in thy presence, or dwell in thy holy

hill? The nation that walketh upright-

ly, that setteth justice first and speak-

eth truth in its heart? The nation that

slandereth not its neighbors, nor set—

teth spies upon another nation, nor

cherisheth a grudge toward any peo-

ple. The nation that sweareth to its

own hurt and changeth not, in whose

eyes a reprobate nation is despised.

The nation that useth not its strength

to oppress the weak or to destroy the

helpless. The nation that *doeth these

things shall never(be moved.”

control over the quality of the eggs,

he is sometimes required to purchase

from his customers. ’





A great impetus has been given the





cooperative egg sales idea in Quebec

by the Quebec Farmers’ Experimental





Union and Quebec Cheesemakers’ Co-

operative Association. Eggs are gath-

ered by the local agricultural coopera-

tive associations, which number over

two hundred in the province, and sent

to the Central Cooperative, by which

they a1e sold.





All eggs are stamped, as soon as

gathered, withoa stamp‘ furnished ‘to

the members for the purpose. As each

egg bears a number,.it is easy to iden-

tify the producer, who is paid accord-

ing to the quality of the product.





In addition to these local associa-

tions, some egg circles have been'or;

ganized during the past few years in

eastern townships and in the district

of Shawville. Some of these circles

also sell eggs through the Central As-

sociation. However, the members of

these circles are not under the obliga-

tion to stamp their eggs, and it is al-





most impossible in this case to identify-





the producer. Therefore, the club re-

ceives, as a rule, only an average price

for each shipment, instead of the price

paid for stamped eggs.



This cooperative system for the sale

of eggs in Quebec is quite simple:



1. The eggs which have been stamp-

ed by the producer, are delivered on a.

certain day of each week to the local

secretary. Each of these eggs bears

the number of the producer. If the

producer lives at some distance from

the local shipping office, he may ship

his eggs directly to the headquarters

of the Central Association.





2. All boxes of eggs received are

shipped to the city by the local secre-

tary, who receives a small compensa-

tion for his work.





3. The eggs are graded on arrival

and the proceeds, less shipment charg-

es, and a sum of two per cent, are re-

turned at once to the local secretary,

and by him distributed among the pro-

ducers', according. to the quality of

eggs supplied by each.



In Ontario thirty-six egg circles re-

ported in 1916, 1,416 shipments of 382,-

808 dozens, representing a gross value

of $14,227.36. In 1917 forty circles re-

ported 1,605 shipments of 542,853 doz-

ens, representing in gross value $209,-

837.31. The present shipments for Ap-

ril, May and June, from 2,100 members

will aggregate four hundred shipments

with a gross value of $140,000. This

shows what pooling eggs has done for

Ontario farmers. Their present quar-

terly shipments are comparing well

with their earlier annual business.





During the past few years the coop-

erative handling of eggs has received

considerable attention in Nova Scotia.

Recognizing the fact that a large pro-

duction of eggs was placed on the

market during April, May and June,

the leaders built cement tanks in var-

ious sections of the provinces in which

to store the eggs during the low-price

season and to place them on the mar-

ket during the winter period scarcity.

This was an advantage to the consum-

er, and incidentally resulted in an in-

crease in prices for eggs produced by

the farmers. At three different points

16,000 dozens of eggs are handled in

this manner.



The circles usually select their own

collector and manager, and charge four

cents per dozen for handling and mar-

keting the eggs. The balance was paid

to the farmers after the eggs were

sold. This method increased the spring

prices from five to-e-leven cents per

dozen. The eggs were candied into





the tank, and also candied out into the,

Y. Cases for shipment]. which enabled, the

may make good flock sires, provided

circle to guarantee the quality of the

eggs.



The idea of pooling eggs has swept

across Canada. until practically every

province has its well organized and

well-functioned egg sales agencymAl-

berta farmers handled more than 250,-

000 dozens of eggs under this plan last

year, while Saskatchewan farmers,

through the poultry plants of the Sas-

katchewan Cooperative Creameries,

sold several carloads. .



These superior marketing methods,

linked with a climate in Which the hen

is able to do her best for man, and

farms capable of producing her food

at home, is responsible for putting

Canada to the forefront as a contender

in world-trade as far as poultry goes.

We shall soon come to see the country

just north of us occupy an enviable

position in the egg trade' becauSe of

the egg-pooling plan.





ORGANIZED FARM FLOCK lM-

PROVEMENT.





 





YELLOW-LEGGED roosters only



four months old but weighing four

and a. half pounds, cockerels in Mis-

souri’s certified farm flocks, hatched

from the eggs of: a ZOO—egg hen and

brought up in the manner recommend-

led by the Missouri College of Agricul-

ture, will be distributed by the college

to other flock owners of the state who

are cooperating with the college to

breed up high-laying flocks and in-

crease Missouri’s average annual pro-

duction of eggs per hen.



“The average farm in Missouri sup-

ports ninety-four fowls which lay an-

nually an average of fifty-five and one

half eggs per bird,” comments T.‘ S.





» Townsley, extension poultry specialist.





“In contrast to this low average, 112

Missouri farms, where the Missouri

plan of flock improvement is practiced,

reported an average of 125 hens on

each farm in 1920 with an annual egg

production of 114 eggS’a hen. If every

hen in Missouri laid as well as the

hens on the farms of these flock own-

ers who are working directly with the

college, the’x’state’s present annual pro-

duction of one hundred and fifteen mil-

lion eggs could be secured from less

than ’half the number of hens now

kept.”





 





WARTS AND BLOODY EGGS.





 





What is good for chickens that have

w‘arts on their comb, especially cock-

erels. What treatment can I use and

we have a. couple of chickens that lay

bloody eggs. —F.



Warts may occur on the cuticle of

poultry, but because of the difficulty

of treatment they are not given much

attention as they do not injure the

utility value of hens for laying, or

cockerels for breeding purposes. How-

eyer, they mar the appearance of the

bird and it is probably best not to

breed from stock where warts appear.

I do not think the trouble will prove

hereditary. In fact, it does not occur

often, even in large flocks.



Bloody eggs axe sometimes laid by

hens because of slight ruptures in the

oviduct. It most often occurs when

young pull-eta first start laying. Prob-

ably the condition will disappear lat~

er. 'The fact that a hen is laying

proves that it is in fairly good physi-

cal condition. The blood on the eggs





- may be due to straining as in the case





when double- -yolked eggs are laid.—

Warts on Tests—Pup Vomits.-—-I

ave a. cow whose. tests have broken

out with warts which are growing rap-

idly, making it difficult to milk her,

and I would like to know what to do

for her. I bought a collie pup recent-

ly; when he runs is inclined to vomit

Does not seem to be sick: Has good

appetite, is‘ hearty and. growing fine.

L. D. 8., Dexter, Mich—Clip off those

which have neck; after each milking

apply castor or olive oil. Pay no at-

tention to your pup; nature fixed the

dog so that it is no.effort for him to

vomit; this .is what often saves his

life. A change of feed will benefit him.





Umbilical Hernia.—-I have a yearling

filly that has navel rupture. Our vet-

erinarian operated on her last fall and

took off the bunch, but another bunch

has returned; however, it is smaller,

only the size of a tea cup. A clamp

was applied, this remained on for a.

fetf days then dropped off. What can

be done for her? V. L., Lapeer, Mich.

——The only remedy is another surgical

operation and, of course, your veter-

inarian will know how. "



Supposed Heave Remedy for Horses.

—One of our subscribers very kindly

informs us that an dd horse trader

confidentially told him that indigo





that he had given it a fair trial, to his

satisfaction. Some indigo blue is dis-

solved in water, a portion is mixed

with each feed. also some given in

drinking water. He believes that this

remedy gives prompt results. Editor’s

Note—Indigo is a kind of deep blue,

one of the seven prismatic colors, a.

blue dye-stuff derived from various

species of Indigofera. Indigo is never

prescribed in either human or in veter-

inary medicine, for it possesses no

medicinal action, but is occasionally

used to color ointments or powders.

and it is not desirable for this pur-

pose. Chronic heaves, especially the

symptoms, are somewhat modified by

stinting the animal’s food and water

supply, adding indigo water to the food

and water will perhaps cause him to

eat and drink less, therefore, in this

manner he might be méde alittle more

comfortable, but surely indigo must

not be considered by our readers as a.

remedy for heaves, or any other ail-

ment.



Udder Hemorrhage—I have a’cow

about seven years old; she came fresh

on May 1, she has not been in heat

since, but what interests me most is,

that she has been giving bloody milk

for the past two months. The milk

comes from two quarters, most blood

with first and last milk drawn. Had

her tuberculin-tested and she failed to

react. What can be done forwher? D.

H., Levering, Mich—Give her one

dram of ground nux vomica and one-

half ounce of powdered licorice at dose

in feed two or three times a. day. Milk

her with care, bed her well, the open

blood vessel must be allowed to heal.





Lameness.—My mare is lame in one

hind leg. When standing she holds

up leg, acting as if in pain. When leg

is pulled back she flinches, but when

pulled forward she fails to flinch. W.

S. H., Cassopolis, Mich—Apply equal

parts of turpentine, aqua ammonia and

raw linseed oil to stifle or any other

sore part once a day. By closa obser-

vation you will perhaps be able 'to lo«

cate her lameness, which is the right





ment.





. Bots—What is good for killing bots

1n colts? Z. A'., Wilson, Mich—One

treatment which has been found effec-

tive consists in feeding lightly on the

day preceding treatment, giving one

ounce of aloes, or a pint of raw lin.

seed oil.‘ The next day give three

drams of carbon bisulphid in a. gelatin

capsule at six o’clock, repeat the dose

at seven o’clock, and another dose at

eight o’clock; this is plenty for an

adult horse; one-half of this quantity

is plenty for a. yearling colt. How do

troubled





with bots? I doubt it. ,





Worms—Our horses are'fed grain.

good hay, also run in good pasture, but

nearly all of them are thin. ‘ "

(Continued from page 374). .





thirteenth place in the contest. But

in the individual contests William Pet-

ers got fifth place.



More than a thousand cattle of the

five principal dairy breeds were on

view in one of America’s finest expo-

sition structures. The show occupied

five times as much space as the first

one held in 1906, and twenty-eight per



cent more than last year’s show in

Chicago. Dairy herds from nineteen

states and one Canadian province

were assembled for the supreme battle

of the year. ‘ ,



This year, for the second time, the

opportunity to show was extended .to

the small breeder, even to the man

with but one good cow. -State herds

made up of ten cows, each selected by

the state breeders’ associations, ex-

tended entry lists to many men who

otherwise would never have competed.

Eleven state herds in all were en-

tered, six Guernseys and five Jerseys.

The province of Ontario showed a

herd of Jerseys.. .



Strong Holstein Competition.



The nerthwest is a stronghold of the

Holstein-Friesians and the competition

in this breed proved unusually inter-

esting.



The three-year-old bull class brought

out the best individuals or the breed

shown. Tritomia Pietertje -Ormsby

237603, the Waterloo Dairy Cattle

Congress grand champion, belonging

to P. P. Stewart and Henderson and

Erickson of Randall, Iowa, was finally

placed first over Walcowis Ollie Hij-

laard 240663, the Wisconsin State Fair

champion, and for the grand champi-

onship honors, over the junior champi-

on, King Pontia Parthenia Champion

316801, owned by Fred Wieffenbach of

North Lake, Wisconsin.



In the final female classes, grand

championship honors fell to the lot of

Hulda Segis Koroba, owned by Aitken

Brothers, Waukesha, Wisconsin. She

is a seven-year-old cow of great size,

of great depth and width, combining

with it quality in hide and hair, good

veining and balance of udder and ideal

placement of teats.



Excellence in Guernseys.



In general excellence the 268 Guern-

seys competing were the equal of the

Holsteins. Ladysmith’s Cherub 30760,

running true to form, again carried off

first in the aged bull classes. For three

years past he has beeh adjudged Na-

tional Grand Champion, but was this

year defeated for both senior and

grand championship honors by his son,

Cherub’s Pearly Royal of Shorewood,

a young hull of great quality and style





and a very smooth individual. Ma

Cherie Procris 55855, also from the

herd of D. D. Tenny, Crystal Bay,

Minnesota, was selected grand cham-

pion in the cow classes.





Jersey Interest Great.





When Jersey- placings were finally

made on Friday, the crowds filled the

aisles and arena so closely that they

hindered Judge H. H. Kildee in his

work. Interest ran high, especially in

the bull placings. Fashionable Fern

Lad, exhibited by Longview Farm,

Lee’s Summit, M0,, was easily the out-

standing individual among the three.

year-aids. He is a bull of very good

size. good style, good top and bottom

line and with evenness throughout, es—

pecially over the back and rump. Judge

Kildee awarded him the senior and





’ grand champion honors.





Michigan Breeder Takes Brown Swiss

Honors. "-



Unusual progress was-noted in this

year’s Brown Swiss show With repre-

sentatives from all parts of the coun-

try.” It was the largest Brown Swiss

show ever held. The grand champion-

ship went to the ,young sire Nellie’s

Stasis 6721, a sturdy, clean-cut repre:

sentative with good dairy form, the

property of L. S. Marshall F: Sons, of

herd.

Dairy Products Displays.

The displays of dairy products were

unprecedented, totaling 1,020 entries

in butter and cheese as against 600

for last year. Gust Knudson, of Arm-

strong, Minn., was awarded the gold

medal prise for the best hand-separa-

tor butter, with a score of 97. And

A. C. F. Witt, of Granton, Wis., car‘

ried away the gold medal for the best

American Cheddar cheese with a score

of 95%. Swiss cheese first went to

Ed. F. Sterner, of Baltic, Ohio.

Much Equipment Shown.

Machinery and dairy equipment of

endless design for increasing the effi-

ciency of the dairy and creamery and

the efficiency of the man in the dairy

industry occupied the entire floor of

the exposition building .and‘ overran

the huge balcony. It represented the

greatest inventive genius for new proc-

esses and for supplying better machin-

ery to be found in America. If any

known device of value was not repre-

sented it was not missed. More than

a dozen different makes of milking ma.

chines were exhibited, as well as ther-

mos bottles and refrigerator cars, de-





livery trucks, freezers, evaporators,

pastuerizers, milk-drying machines,

emulsifiers, refrigerators, engines,





feeds, feed cutters, barns, silos, barn

equipment, cans, bottles, sterilizers.

cleaning agents, capping machines and

many others were all shown galore,

with nickel-plate, copper and glass. It

was a veritable pageant of dairy pro-

gress.



Educational Display.



Twenty-five remarkable government

exhibits occupying over 360 linear feet

of balcony space taught their lessons

in interesting and pleasing style. More

than ’fifty lessons presented in effec-

tive graphic style sound reasons and

methods for increasing the average re-

turn per head by cow-testing, by the

use of better sires and better breeding

methods, by improved cost methods

and improved methods of distribution

of milk, and by controlling and sup-

pressing diseases which affect cattle.

Other booths portrayed the best in bus-

iness and marketing of dairy products

and the market inspection service of-

fered by the department of agricul-

ture. A monster display by the Wis-

consin State University illustrated in

graphic fashion “fifty years of dairy

development” in that state.



During the week thirty-three conven-

tions and dairymen’s gatherings were

held. The time and place of the 1922

Dairy Show will be determined by its

board of directors at its January

meeting. Detroit has made a bid for it.

WHEAT





After its decline of four weeks’ dur-

ation, the wheat market shows signs of

a more or less sustained turn for the

better. Receipts continue above im-

immediate requirements and supplies

are accumulating at terminal markets

but there has been a noticeable falling

off in. country offerings in the last few

days and demand has improved moder-

ately. European buying has increased

in spite of the Weakness in continental

exchanges. Reports on farm holdings

of wheat as of October’ 1 reveal the

result of the rapid sale of the crop.

Only 418,879,000 bushels were left on

farms, which means that 52.7 per cent

of the total surplus left the farm com-

pared with 36.3 per cent last year and

49.7 per cent two years ago. All re-

ports from southern hemisphere coun-

tries whose wheat crop is in the proc-

ess of growth are highly favorable. If

present prospects are maintained,

there will be no marked scarcity of

wheat to supply the world’s needs

this year unless something unforeseen





happens.

CORN





Farmers continue to sell corn freely

and. with primary receipts consider-

ably larger than consumptive demand,

the corn market remains at practically

the lowest point of the year. Thus far

low prices have not checked the move-

ment, the slowing down in the move-

ment in the last few days being due»

to depletion of old crop supplies. Pric-

es to producers west of the Mississippi

river for new corn range from 20 to

25 cents per bushel. ‘





OATS





The cheapness of corn is an import-

ant factor in holding dow nthe price of

oats. Other causes are the huge vis-

ible supply. and the cheapness of Can-

adian oats which, on account of qual-



, ity are much more attractive to ex-

porters than our own.





SEEDS





The heavy movement of clover and

timothy seed continues. Receipts of

red clover .at Toledo for the season to

,date total 8,610 bags compared with





4,165 bags compared with 876 a year

ago, while timothy shows 5,791 bags

compared with 2,987 a year ago. On





,- the other hand, shipments from Toledo





_ c





 





 





902 bags last year, alsike aggregated_





choice» $6.75..





J"





are running larger than those of last

year.





FEEDS -'





The market for wheat feeds has

been under considerable pressure, both

from mills and holders. The cotton-

seed crop is being marketed rapidly

and offerings of: cottonseed meal are

increasing with prices to $2 to $3

lower than a week ago and linseed

meal has lost about the same amount.

Both hominy and gluten feeds have

declined recently.





HAY





Eastern hay markets averaged

slightly higher last week with offer-

ings promptly taken. Western mar-

kets lost 50 cents to $1 per ton with

timothy hay arrivals showing a Jsub-

stantial increase. Receipts of alfalfa

are rather light.





-WOOL





For a number of weeks wool prices

have been consistently firm and confi-

dence in the future of the market is

more general than at any time in a

Ibng while. Wool consumption figures

by American mills make an attractive

showing. During August

pounds of wool were used. This is at

the rate of over 600,000,000 pounds a

year, while our clip at the present is

about 225,000,000 pounds. If this rate

of manufacture continues it will make

deep inroads into the carryover of

wool before the next clip is ready.

The American Farm Bureau reports

state wool pools in the bright wool

sections as follows: Delaine 32@35c;

BEANS





‘ Michigan beans scored an advance

last week, rising to $4.65 per 100 lbs.

f. o. b. Michigan shipping p‘oints for

hand-picked stock. Prices to growers

for beans in the dirt are about $4.15.

Demand has been good with the com-

ing of cool weather and farmers are

.not selling freely so that receipts are

light. All beans available for ship-

ment during October have been sold.

Red kidney beans are quoted at $8@

8.25 per 100 pounds but the New York

market is considerably lower and it is

expected that Michigan prices will de-

cline until they are in line.





POULTRY AND secs





The preliminary report on cold stor-

age holdings of eggs as of October 1

shows 6,300,000 cases. On the same

date last year, holdings were 5,295,000

cases and the five-year average for the

same date is 5,646,000 cases. The mar-

ket for fresh eggs continues strong

with refrigerator eggs,” even though





they are of fine quality, selling at, a .





big discount.

Prices advanced againlast week, es-

pecially on fancy butter, but other

grades-moved more freely‘and cold

storage holdings were drawn upon .to

some extent. 'The south also has been

buying in northern markets. , At the

close of the week a somewhat unset-

tled tone was manifest as the advance

as continued for a long time and has

reached a new high level for the sea-

son. Production is running higher

than at this time last year. Some-

where along the line the market is

likely to have a good setback and it

may arrive soon. Prices for 92-score

POTATOES





The potato crop forecast was in-

creased nearly 23,000,000 bushels on

October 1, the total being 345,844,000

bushels. Thisris still below normal

consumptive requirements. Potato

prices in eastern marketS‘ advanced

last. week in spite of the heaviest sup-

ply of the season and a moderate de-

mand. New York round whites were

quoted at $2.10@2.45 per 100 pounds

Jack Frost’s visit to the potato belt

of western and northern Michigan last

QUALITY OF MICHIGAN’S POTATO

\ CROP GOOD.





 





I





 





0 serious developments of'latepo-

tato blight has occurred inhlichi~

gun this year. The quality of the crop

as a resplt’promises to be good. There

is every reason for the potatoes hand—

, ling well, according to H. C. Moore,

mam crop specialist of the M. A. C.

Some confusion has resulted from

the indiscriminate use of the terms

employed in describing potato diseas-

es. There has been quite a little Tip-

burn of Early Blight, but this disease

does not afiect the keeping qualities of

the tubers as everyone with experi-

ence knOWS. It simply causes the

death of the vines in the, field which,

of course, stops growth of the pota-

toes. Late Blight, on the other hand,

does affect the keeping qualities of the

potatoes, but according to Mr. Moore,

this disease is not common in Michi-

gan this year.





 





FARMERS' DAIRY MARKETING

COMMITTEE MEET.





 





HILE the great dairy show was

mprogress the Farmers'





Marketing Committee of Eleven met-





at St. Paul and mapped out its general

program of work ‘to study the various

‘ cooperative dairy marketing organiza-

tions and draft a general plan for the

guidance of all dairy farmers in the

marketing of their products’.



The committee appointed by Presi-

dent Howard, of the American Farm

Bureau Federation, mapped out their



. general program of work, appointing

five sub-committees to begin investiga-

tion and report on five important

phases of the problem.



The marketing of whole milk will be

studied by Messrs. Milo D. Campbell.

of Michigan; Larson, of Illinois; Pat-

tee, of New England, and Hartke. Co-

operative cnearnery and cheese factory

investigation will be done by Messrs.

Nickerson, of Minnesota: Krumrey, of

Wisconsin, and Bechtelheimer, of

Iowa. A report on the marketing of

dairy products, such as milk powder.

will be made by Messrs. Harvey, Lar-

son and Nickerson. The relation of

cooperative laws to distribution of

dairy products will be studied by Mes-



~ srs. Miller, of the Dairymen’s League;



‘ Heaton. of the American Farm Bureau

Federation, and Hawley, of Oregon.

And a report on publicity and advertis-

ing of dairy products will be made by





Messrs. Benton and Bechtel-

heimer.



After discussing pending cooperative

marketing legislation. the following





resolution was unanimously passed.

“Resolved, that we endorse the Cap-

per-Volstead Cooperative Marketing

Billas1tpassedthehouseof1opre-

sentatives and ask the United States

Senate to adopt it.”

MORE CAREFUL INSPECTION OF

HEAT FOR DETROIT.





 





9 more careful ”about the meat you



ship to Detroit. The board of health

of that city inaugurates a rigid inspec-

tion service to insure the consuming

pulic that meats offeredb are whole~

some. Farmers all over Michigan have

in times past shipped dressed meat to

the city. After November 1 all meet

brought into the city will be carefully

examined by inspectors of the health

department. The following communi-

cation from the local health depart

ment should be carefully read by all

persons who are interested in sending

dressed meats to the city.





In accordance with the laws and ord-

inances governing and regulating meat

inspection, slaughter houses, stock

yards, railway stations, warehouses,

meat wagons, meat, poultry and fish,

and the condemnation thereof when

necessary, the department of health of

the city of Detroit desires to inform all

parties concerned that on and after

November 1,1921, these ordinances

will be rigidly enforced.



The following paragraphs point out

the principal parts of our laws under

which we will operate and if followed





‘out, satisfactory inspection will result.





(a) All trucks, wagon beds, contain-

ers, receptacles, wagon covers and

food products therein shall be kept

THE CONDENSED 'MILK MARKET.





 





ERE is little' optimism among



dealers in condensed milk and al.

lied products as the market continues

to be irregular and buying strength is.“

lacking. There has been enough move-

ment of case condensed milk to sue

tain the values of the past few weeks

but in view of the factthat milk prio-

es are advancing in producing sections

that condition is anything but satisfac-\

toy fom the standpoint of the manu-

factueh. While there has been some

export inquiry, principally from Eng~

lish sources, no actual orders have

been placed as the prices offered are

lower than manufacturers feel that

they. can accept without meeting with

financial losses. There has been a mod-

erate movement in case goods for do-

mestic demand.



Since the close of the ice cream sea-

son, evaporated milk has been in light

demand. There is some tendency on

the part of manufacturers to lower

their prices but that attracts few buy-

ers. Bulk sweetened condensed milk

is in fair demand and prices have

hardened somewhat during the past

few days but there is no indication

that there will be general revival of

interest in that product. Other prod-

ucts such as bulk sweetened skimmed

condensed and milk powders are ac—

cumulating and the price trend is

slightly downward. '

There are now nine and one-half million automobiles in use

in this country alone, besides the hundreds of thousands of



_ tractors, farm lighting systems, stationary engines, and trucks.

Double Your Earning Power By Knowing More





In farm work, factory or garage, trained men are worth more, and get more. Most men

now 40 years old who had no training are still working as laborers. Most of those who

trained when young are now independent. Whether you are 40 or 20, you can make your-

self successful. Practical training makes practical, successful men.





BE A TRAINED FARM MECHANIC

running and repairing all types of machines right in the field, under the direction of expert

instructors. ‘ .





SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
