FIRST FLOOR PLAN

This is the Completed House of Eight Rooms. Other Stages of the Development of this Home Are Shown on Page 408.





'A Home Built on the Piecemeal Plan





0U have no doubt admired the home

pictured‘above and commented upon

the completeness of the plans. These





plans have been worked out to give the





homemaker and her helpers, if she is for-

tunate enough to have any, the maximum

of advantages at a minimum of cost and

at the same time to preserve lines that may

be given an attractive setting in most 10-

calities. Moreover, it has an advantage

which will appeal to the majority of home-

makers; the house may be built in differ-

ent stages. This adapts it to families of

moderate resources. .



For the young couple just starting, who

must build; and whose pocketbook is not

very well lined, a house which may be ad-

ded to as times brighten, is agodsend. The





department of agriculture, anticipating

just such needs, has prepared a set of plans

which will be furnished on application to

farmers wishing to build such a home. The

house is constructed in four stages, so that

some time may elapse from the building of

the first part, until the completed struc-

ture is finished.



In the (beginning there is a living-room

and dining-room combined, and a kitchen

below, with two bedrooms above stairs. A

full basement is provided, to be reached





'by temporary steps outside, covered by a





hatchway. The chimney is permanent and

need not be torn down when the other ad-

ditions are built.



The first addition contemplates, first of

all, the installation" of running water. Then





a laundry and washroom combined and a

kitchen are to be added, with cellar stairs.

Plans are drawn so that the men coming

in from work enter the washroom and find

here a closet for their outdoor clothes, and

a place to clean up before coming into the

house proper. The room formerly used as

a. kitchen, now becomes the dining-room,

and the men can enter it directly from the

washroom, and need not go into the kitch-

en at all. This arrangement will be a boon

to the cook. In addition to the coat closet

in the laundry there is a closet for the

ironing board.



In the kitchen a. closet is provided for

brooms, floor mop, carpet sweeper, etc. The

cupboards and sink are on the wall be-

tween kitchen (Continued on page 408).

CURRENT COMMENT





URSUANT to the



plan previously

commented on in the

columns of this jour-

nal, the War Finance

Corporation has es-

tablished an agricultural loan agency

in Michigan with headquarters in De-

troit. The members of the committee

are given in another column.



This action completes the machin-

ery for the making of advances on ag-

ricultural paper to Michigan bankers

by the War Finance Corporation in

accordance with the plan as previous-

ly explained. Michigan farmers who

need money to finance stock feeding or

other agricultural enterprises can now

approach their bankers in the matter

with full knowledge that the banker

can secure advances on good agricul-

tural paper through this medium.

While cooperative organizations con-

ducted on a business basis can arrange

for advances directly through the ag-

ricultural loan agency, individual farm-

ers can do this only through the medi-

um of their bankers.



This arrangement should be of ma-

terial aid to the farmers of Michigan

as well as those of other states if they

avail themselves of the opportunity

‘ and their bankers COOperate with them

to the fullest extent in making this

avenue of needed capital available.

The Rarl- anxiously awaiting de-

Situation this situation, with on





timism gradually

gaining ground. In the meantime the

Interstate Commerce Commission has

ordered a sixteen per cent reduction

in freight rates for grain and hay on

western roads, while the Railway La-

bor Board and other governmental

agencies are actively at work to avert

the threatened strike. That organized

labor is not a unit in the matter is

evidenced by the report that officials

' of unions embracing a large number of

railroad employes in their member-

ship, including shop workers and

clerks, some units of which have pre-

viously voted for a walkout, have re-

fused to issue strike orders, as indi-

' cated by recent news dispatches.

_Public reactions in the matter seem

By the time this reaches our readers

it will ”have been demonstrated wheth-

er the sober, second thought of the

men and their union leaders, and the

statesmanship of government oflicials

will serve to avert the threatened cal-

amity or not. If not, it is a matter for

congratulation that the farmers or the

country will not only be the class least

portation facilities, but will be in a.

0 i year since the for-

Tr ests were robed in



“7.“! more beautiful colors

Business than they have pos-





sessed this fall, yet

it will not be long before the yellows

and golds will have fallen and nothing

but the bare trunks and branch-es will

show. The dark, ugly, gnarled senti-

nels of the forests will them stand in

the place of all the present beauty. Un-

attractive, indeed, will these barren

trunks be in comparison. Yet there is

embodied in the roots and trunks and

branches of these soldiers of the wood-

land the same potential power that

produced the unspeakable beauty of

the foliage that is now falling.





Such changes often go on in the

businesses which men follow. Cooper-

ative institutions are no exception. In

these organizations men become en

thused during the springtime of devel

opment and the foliage of hope grows

rapidly and beautiful and the undertak-

ing is full of promise. This growth

continues through the summer with

every encouragement until the arrival

of the fall frosts of competition, which

suddenly arrests further development.

When these leaves of hope take on for

a moment their brilliant hues and then

fall, the cooperation backsliders, too

frequently, begin to multiply. But the

cold business institution has more

than likely grown in strength and pow-

er to serve. So don’t forsake‘it sim-

ply because it has finished stunting on

dress parade. If it is to be of .any‘per-





manent value to those who'are asso-





ciated in the organization then the

time must come, if it is not herer for

the institution to get its working

clothes on to buffet the storms and

stand the test of a rigorous winter.





LARK L. BRODY,



busmess manager

of the State Farm Bu-

reau, hit the nail on

the head when he said

that one of the chief

considerations in the selection of lead

ers was to find the motive behind the

man.



Mr'. Brody made this remark at the

Ypsilanti Produce Market Conference

in connection with a statement that

the farm bureau would go through a

test in which powerful interests would

try to down it and in this test it would

be essential to have the right kind of

leaders.



To know the motive of the man is

really a chief essential in his selection

to any position of responsibility. Too

often the public is not critical enough

in this regard and consequently men

come to positions of power who place

self interest first and use their posi-

tions as stepping stones to greater

power. Such men give service only as

it will further themselves, but in doing

so often build upon false foundations

and fail to bring through critical times

the organizations under their steward-

ship.

History is replete with the accom-

we not lay more and more emphasis

upon such qualities in men for places

of responsibility? '





HE reason for the

decline in our for-





Foreign ”8' eign trade is so obvi-





Domestic one that it is a matter

Exchange of common knowl-



edge. The resources

of many foreign nations that were





among our best customers have been

so depleted as a result of the war that

their credit in our markets has become

impaired to the degree represented by

the widely varying rates of foreign ex-

change. And some of these countries

are getting our customers in other

countries as a result of this very fact,

since domestic raw materials and la-

bor paid for with their cheap money,

even at war prices, enable them to un-

dersell us in terms of a more stable

currency. So our foreign trade has

rapidly approached the vanishing point

in everything but commodities of ab-

solute necessity to those countries,

with little prospect of its general res-

toration until some means is found to

put foreign exchange on a more even

and stable basis.





To a certain, though less serious de-

gree, our national business situation

is comparable to the international sit-

uation as above noted. Domestic ex-

change, if the word may be coined to

represent the condition of a disturbed

relation between commodity values, is

at once unstable and unsatisfactory to

the rank and file of American citizens,

which fact is reflected in the slow

movement of most lines of goods

which has characterized the recent

months. This disparity in “domestic

exchange" as thus defined is not lim-

ited to commodity prices alone, but ex—

tends as well to service charges of all

kinds. Farmers first felt the effects

of this disturbance in “domestic ex«

change" in tumbling prices for their

products. Industrial workers have felt

it in a too prevalent condition " of un-

employment. ‘ flunufacturers and mer-

chants ‘have in turn felt the result of

this shrinkage in the resources of their

customers in a lessened demand for

goods, as the process of deflation has

progressed. In fact, only the banker

has found the demand for his wares to

exceed the supply and the price which

his commodity would bring in the open

market unimpaired.





As a result commodity prices are be-

ing gradually forced down, with a. con-

sequent forcing down of all production

costs in the process of the readjust-

ment of “domestic exchange” to a.

more normal basis. Manufacturers

and distributors are being forced to

absorb heavy losses, just as the farm-

ers had to take their loss. Gradually,

yet surely, deflation is progressing all

along the line, with increased move-

ments of commodities as they reach a

normal level and occasional reactions

in price when the pendulum swings too

far. ‘ '



As this readjustment progresses do-

mestic business is bound to improve.

In fact. it is already improving'in very

many lines, and promises to ‘be better

than normal .under a complete reaction

from the general slowing up in buying

on the part of all classes of citizens

for the very good reason that the need

for all kinds of goods will be greater.

This is the bright spot on the business

horizon, since the restabllization of~

foreign exchange does not appear to

be so simple a matter or one so easily

' HEARING to discuss the propos-

‘- ed extension of the federal corn

borer quarantine and consider

other means of controiling the unwel-

come. pest, was held before the Federal

Horticultural Board on October 11, Dr.

C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the board,

presiding. In attendance were ento-

mologists and department of agricul-

ture ofl‘icials from fourteen states, rep-

resentatives of the farm organizations

and grain ‘dealers’ associations, and

agents of boards of trade. Among the

number were Dr. L. R. Taft, inspector

of nurseries, and Congressman John

C. Ketcham, of Michigan; T. H. Parks,

Ohio State University, and H. A. Gos-

sard, entomologist of the Ohio Experi-

ment Station; J. G. Sanders, Harris-

burg, Pa.; E. P. Felt and Dr. Atwood,

of New York. '



The extension of the quarantine, as



outlined by Secretary Wallace in his

official call included all the territory

, east of a line extending from Lake

Michigan southward along the western

border of Indiana to the Ohio river

and thence eastward to the coast.



Dr. E. D. Ball, budget expert in the

department of agriculture, argued that

the establishing of a quarantine

through Michigan to the Ohio river to

protect the great corn belt, was the

‘most important point to be considered.

He favored the spending of the entire



'appropriation in controlling the west—



ern line of infestation, leaving New

England and New York state to take

care of their infestations as best they

"can. As it is planned to cut the de-

partment of agriculture appropriations

to the extent of a half million under

.the budget system, Dr. Ball thought

there was little likelihood of getting

an increase in appropriation for corn

borer work.



The proposal of Dr. Ball met with





Certified





AST spring'the Michigan Potato

LGrowers’ Association conceived



the idea of sending several lots

of seed potatoes grown in Michigan in-

to other states. This certified seed

stock was given away on condition

that the grower would plant it beside

his own potatoes and give it the same

treatment that he gave his own stock.

He also agreed to make a report on

comparative yields. The idea obvious-

ly, was to find out Whether or not

Michigan certified seed would yield in

localities where conditions were con-

siderably different than where the seed

was grown.



This work was done largely through

the County Farm Bureaus. In this

county we got 1,500 pounds of the

Michigan seed and this was distributed





 





   





.,



By [5. E.

strong opposition from many delegates.

Dr. Marlatt said the policies of the de-

partment were determined, not from

the standpoint of the budget, but of

need and justification. Gray Silver,

representing the American Farm Bu-

reau Federation, said that there was

great alarm in the middle west in re-

gard, to the corn borer menace, and

both the west and east should be tak-

en care of. He was sure that congress

would appropriate sufficient money to

take care of the situation.



The New England delegates Were in-

sistent that the quarantine be contin-

ued on the infested area in Masachu-

setts. It was the opinion of Commis-

sioner Healey, of Connecticut, that if

the corn borer were permitted to

spread in the eastern states it would





 





Reyna/d5





mean the destruction of the corn crop,

the basis of New England’s leading in-

dustry, dairying, and the funeral of

agriculture in the east.



Dr. Parks, of Ohio, said the farmers

of that state were willing to have a

quarantine that will be reasonable.

They do not expect a quarantine over

the whole state but including the in—

fested region. They would rather see

four dollars spent in repressive meas—

ures to one dollar on quarantine.



At the conclusion of the hearing, Dr.

Marlattvsaid that it was not customary

for the board to announce its decision

without careful deliberation. Never-

the less he did not think the Federal

Horticultural Board had any idea of

establishing a general quarantine as

outlined in the secretary’s call. He

among twelve growers. One grower

lost out completely as the conditions

on his farm were so unfavorable that

neither his own seed nor the Michigan

seed germinated good enough to make

it worth while to leave the field.



The results available from the elev-

en demonstration fields are certainly

sufficient to assure Michigan growers

that they are producing a quality of

seed stock which will assert its supe-

riority under the conditions of north-

ern Indiana at least. From all of these

eleven plots the average increase

which certified seed gave over native

stock was 68.8 bushels per acre. The

highest «increase reported was by Otto

Podell, whose native stock yielded 174

less bushels than the Michigan seed

stock. On the farm\ of S. L. Williams

certified seed proved 147 bushels per

acre superior to native seed. John

Mau reported the certified seed 140

bushels better. Both Theodore Pow-





ell and Chris Rerline reported a yield

of eighty-four bushels better from cer

tified seed. The lowest increase re-

ported was by George Stout, and Mr

Stout compared certified seed with

stock that he has been hill—selecting

for some years. .



Undoubtedly Michigan growers will

be interested in knowing under what

conditions these potatoes were grown.

The most of them were grown on deep

muck: while three of the fields were

grown on black sand. The fields from

which the heavier increases in yield

are reported are those that. received

more fertilizer. The field from which

the highest increase was reported had

an application of 375 pounds per acre

of kainit. Fields from which small in-

creases were reported had no fertilizer

whatever.



None of these fields were sprayed

with Bordeaux while only two of them

were sprayed for beetle bugs with ars-





 





 





 

 

 





ed a large territory aldng state lined

while letting the infested areas’vtake

care of themselves. He would rather,

have no quarantine at all. He said he‘

believed the attitude of the board was »

in favor of expending all the funds in,

quarantine work that is necessary to

meet the emergency. '



The delegates held a meeting after

the hearing with Commissioner Gil-

bert of the Massachusetts Department.

of Agriculture in the chair. At this "

conference the group instructed the 1:”

chairman to appoint a committee of

five to present the demand for an. ap-

propriation to the sub-committee on E“?

agricultural department appropriations ‘

at the hearings before the committee

which will be held early in January.

The delegates voted to ask for an'ap«

propriation of $275,000 for corn borer ,5

control work, and went on record as :

favoring the restriction of the quar- if

antine to the infested areas. \ it



Some interesting information in re- ,f

gard to the European corn borer was

brought out during the discussions. It _

has been found that the corn borers in 1

the New England district have two

broods a year while the borers in the

Ontario infestation have only one

brood. The question as to whether this

was due to hereditary or climatic in~ ,

fluences was left unsettled with the it

chances in favor of difierence in 011- _‘

mate. It was pointed out, however, “'1

that each infestation came from differ- {5

ent importations of broomcorn, not

from the districts under quarantine in‘

this country. The infestation which

extends along the south shore of Lake

Erie is regarded as a. spread from the

Ontario area across the lake.



In eastern New York and Massar

chusetts there: was a marked increase

as this and showing such large in—

Michigan potato growers may be cer- .

tain that the requirements laid down

by the Michigan Potato Growers’ As-

sociation for certified seed lay stress ‘

upon those qualities that indicate a

production much higher than the aver—

age. Moreover, I am conversant

enough with Michigan potato sections



to believe that this certified seed stock ..

will bring just as big a return in Mich; Q

igan as it does in Indiana. Like Indi< ”

tions in Oakland, Wayne, Macomb,

Monroe and Washtenaw counties met

at Ypsilanti last Thursday to discuss

the formation of a produce exchange.



Milton Carmichael, secretary of the

Wayne County Farm Bureau, submit-

, .ted tentative plans for the formation

" of such an organization, which includ-

ed a distributing center at Detroit and

the use of farm bureau locals to gath-

er and ship the produce. It is proposed

to have the organization a part of the

State Farm Bureau and eventually to

cover a territory much larger than the

five counties.



The plan, fundamentally, is to give

the farmer an efficient and profitable

means~of marketing such products as

vegetables, fruits, eggs and other farm

products which are not grown in large

quantities. It is also to encourage

closer relations between the producer

and the consumer with advantages to

_both.



Other speakers at the meeting who

were in favor of such an organization

were C. L. Brody, business manager

of the State Farm Bureau; Hale Ten-

ant, marketing specialist of M. A. C.;

G. C. Raviller, purchasing agent for

the farm bureau; G. V. Branch, muni-

cipal director of markets of Detroit,

and L. Whitney Watkins, member of

the State Board of Agriculture.



A committee was appointed to make

investigations and to formulate plans

for the formation of such an exchange

at a meeting to be held in Detroit in

January.



This is an endeavor to solve one of

the hardest farm marketing problems,

the efficient sale of the side-line prod-

ucts of the farm. As organizations

'similar to the one proposed are being

operated successfully in Toledo and

Cleveland these tentative plans ,should

develop into a successful organization.





THE 1921 BEAN CROP.





 





HAT about beans? According to



the men who gather crop infor-

mation for the government, the Ameri-

can bean crop this year will approxi-

mate that of 1920. It will, however,

be about three and a half million

bushels short of the crop for 1919 and

about 8,500,000 bushels less than were

grown in 1918. Michigan will have

better than 2,500,000 bushels to her

credit this year. The yield in this

state is estimated at 10.8 bushels per

acre as againsta seven-year average

of 9.7 bushels.





DOES NOT FEAR EXTENSIVE

TROUBLE FROM CORN-EAR

WORM.





 





HE corn-earworm which did con-

siderable damage in fields of

~'svt'eet corn in western Michigan this

year is a seasonal pest, in the opinion

of J. Hackley Skinner, crop promoter

for the Roach Canning Company, of

Grand Rapids, and probably. will not

be troublesome next year. Michigan

had a. mild winter, a warm spring and

a hot summer, making the Wolverine

climate ideal for the borer. A normal

season, according to Mr. Skinner, will

. practically free the state of the pest.





THEY LIKE cooo SHEEP.





 





' ' CHE interesting figures have just

:Vigotten out of Washington. In all

the fluion there are only six states



" e more pure-bred sheep than

'Here is the number, 21,342.,

' imake some herd. If these





 





sheep were brought together and those

belonging to each breed separated in-

to different pens we would find that

the Shropshire pen contained the most

the number for that breed being 7,042.

In the Merino pen there would be

4,998: in the Oxford pen 2,800; in the

Rambouillet pen 2,267; over in the

Hampshire pen we could count 1,910;

while of Lincolns there would be 268;

of Leicesters 100; of Dorsets 72; of

Suffolk 42, and of Cheviot 24.





BOG IRON FOR ROAD USE.





 





HE road (state trunk-line No. 77),



which passes through a portion of

the Seney Swamp from Jermfast to

Seney, Schoolcraft county, has been

surfaced with bog iron—a material

rather uncommon in highway construc-

tion in Michigan but which hehe has

produced very satisfactory results. The

material has been taken from the





swamp close at hand and is compacted

by the traffic. The region is a barren

waste of bogs and sand dunes, devoid

of good road material, it appears, save

this bog iron; but when we traversed

it recently, we found a very passable

automobile . road produced, at what

was undoubtedly a relatively low cost.

There is no geological connection be-

tween this formation and the iron

ranges somewhat to the westward

which have produced the millions of

tons of Lake Superior iron ore. Sim-

ilar formations were reported from the

southern peninsula—CHAR.





OUT FOR INTERNATIONAL HON-

. 0R8.





 





UR greatest advertising in years!”



, This is the general comment on

the spectacular showing made by

Michigan farmers at last year’s Inter-

national Grain and Hay Show. The





 





 





Michigan Milk Producers

Hold T lzez'r 1472mm! Meeting





HE annual meeting of the Mich-





igan Milk Producers’ Associa-

tion was held at M. A. C., on

Tuesday, October 18.



At the morning session, immediately

following the president’s address, it

became apparent that there would be

a pontest for the control of the organ-

ization on the part of a group of del-

egates from the Detroit area. Prelim-

inary to this contest, a motion provid-

ing that nominations for officers

should be made in open convention in-

stead of by nominating committee,

was adopted. A motion was then made

that a committee on credentials be ap—

pointed for the preparation of a list of

delegates who might properly be seat-

ed in the convention. In a discussion

of this motion it developed that, while

the ConStitution of the Association

provides for a delegate meeting, this

provision had never been adhered to

in any of the annual meetings of'the-

association, as a consequence of which

a large number of the delegates pres-

ent had not prepared themselves with

credentials. After thorough delibera-

tion this proposition was rejected'by

a substantial majority of delegates

present. In order that the matter

might be disposed of before any of

those present at the convention were

obliged to leave, election of officers

was made a special order for two

o’clock at the afternoon meeting, at

which the following officers were elect-

ed by a substantial majority: Presi-

dent, N. P. Hull; secretary, R. C.

Reed; treasurer, H. W. Norton; direct-

ors, R. G. Potts, of Washington; A.

M. Eckels, of Plymouth, and F. W.

Myers, of St. Clair. All of these offi-

cers were re-elected with, the excep-

tion of Mr. Myers, who took the place

on the board of directors formedly

filled by Congressman J. C. Ketcham.





In his annual report, the secretary

called special attention to the fight

which the organization made against

the ruling of the Federal Fair Price

Commission, which reduced the price

of milk in Detroit to a point which

would have meant a reduction of $1.30

on. every one hundred pounds to pro-

ducers in the 4 Detroit area. which he





estimated for the period: between-April ;

6 and October 1 saved ”the milk pro-f





ducers of the Detroit area practically

$2,000,000. This case was carried to

the Supreme Court of the United

States, and the association employed

Charles E. Hughes, now Secretary of

State, to defend producers’ interests

until the matter was finally settled by

the cancellation of all war measures

of this kind.

submitted and adopted on the recom-

mendations of the auditing committee:

record made in that great contest cer-





tainly has given Michigan prestige





among all the states in the matter of‘





growing superior grains and. seeds. It

will be more difficult to “bring home

the bacon” this year than it was last,

since a larger number of states and

provinces will send exhibits and it is

knownthat unusual care is being tak-

en by a number of these states and

provinces in the collection and prepara

ation of the grains, seeds and ha}r

which they propoSe to show.



There is, however, an exceptionally

fin‘e opportunity for our farmers to

score again. In Michigan this has

been an unusually favorable corn year

which should result in a strong show

ing on this grain. While oats and bar.

ley were hard hit in Michigan, accord-

ing to Professor Cox, of the crops de-

partment at M. A. C., practically all

the other states have suffered to an

equal or greater degree, thus evening

up chances in the contest. In the rye

classes, other states will make a bet‘

ter showing this year because they;

planted heavily of the Rosen variety;

last fall and will have much of this

variety to show in competition with

Michigan growers.



All entries are to be sent to ProfeSd

sor A. L. Bibbins, of East Lansing,

who will send Michigan’s entire dis«

play to Chicago in one shipment. En-

tries should be made before November

15. Those who have taken prizes at

local fairs, are especially urged to end

ter their samples for the 1921 Interna-

tional. It is expected that a large at«

tendance from Michigan will be pres<

ent at the great show, which is to be

held in Chicago from November 26 to

December 3.





WILL LET SHEEP ON SHARES.





 





SCHEME worked out by County,



Agricultural Agent L. M. Geismar,

derived from his experience in his old

home in Alsace, whereby sheep are

purchased and placed with local farm-

ers on a contractual basis is of inter-

est. My information is that the ar*

rangement has worked out very profit-

ably both for the capitalists and the

farmers and that both parties recently

agreed to continue it. The individual

financial contributions and the allot-

ments of sheep are generally small, I

understand. Such cooperation should

be very effective in getting town and

country together on a business basis.

» WHEN, THE BUTTER WON’T COME.





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





ERY frequently farmers or their



wives ask advice from the farm

journals as to why the butter will not

come. To this question there are sev-

eral answers, the answer depending

upon the circumstances surrounding

the individual case.



A common cause of this trouble is

that the salting of the cattle in tile

fall of the year when they first go on

dry feed is sometimes forgotten. If

the cows are not salted regularly, this

is likely the reason why the butter

does not come quickly.



Another very common cause is the

temperature of the cream may not be

right for churning. A dairy thermom-

eter, which is not very expensive,





should be provided, and it will tell

ripened cream is around





.When . the





 





A M.





Soy-beans Growing Alongside a Feld of Com.

Had Waiting to do the Harvesting.





sixty degrees, the correct temperature

for churning.



The method of handling the cream

before churning often has much to do

with the butter not coming. If a sep-

arator is used for skimming, the cream

should be cooled before mining it with

former churnings. The cream should

be saved and kept in a cool place until

there is enough for a churning. It

should then be warmed to about sev-

enty degrees and allowed to stand at

this temperature for twelve hours or

until itlripens. Then it should be cool—

ed to around sixty degrees, when it is

ready to churn. When the cream is

ripening, it should be stirred occasion-

ally so the temperature will be uni-

form throughout.



An old neighbor who has uniform

success with churning recommends

this recipe when the butter won’t

come: Before putting any cream into

the cream jar, put in a piece of salt-

peter the size of a small pea, a scant

teaspoonful of salt, and the" same

amount of sugar. Pour on enough boil-

ing water to dissolve. Each time the

cream is put in. stir it well.



The kind of feed used for the cattle

sometimes explains the difficulty in

the butter not forming properly. The

consistency of the butter sometimes

shows that they need a laxative. Oil

meal and bran used as a part of the

ration will often do more to correct

this trouble than anything else.

HOW I SOLVED THE PASTURE

PROBLEM:





 





FOR the past four years we have

had a long dry spell every summer.





~ My pasture—mostly ravine and rough





ground, has dried up until the little

grass left was fairly. brittle and looked

dead. What to do for green feed for





' .-coyvs dining that period was the ques- .





Ir‘sol .re’b‘l m 1111 year.

Last year...





spare for that piece. I had a quantity

of soy-beans and some kaffir corn seed.

I plowed the piece the last of May,

harrowed it once, sowed the soy-beans

broadcast, broadcasted the kafi‘ir corn

over the same ground, sowed a small

quantity of pulverized sheep manure

fertilizer, harrowed the ground again

and waited for results. I thought I

might get a little green feed and at

least get a growth for turning under

later on.



That stuff came up and grew amaz-

ingly. I began feeding from it about

the middle of July, mowing off just the

amount needed for a day or two at a

time. I fed green feed from that piece

until the last of September when the

fall rains'had made the pasture good

again. The stock ate it clean, stalks

and all.





I had only enough soy-beans for





.2. . A. a.





Photograph Taken Just as

of Hogs which the Progressive Owner





about half the piece so had kaifir corn

alone on the other half. The first of

October I. cut the remaining kaflir

corn by hand and shocked it. There

were twenty-four big shocks of feed.

The kaffir had grown to about four

feet tall at that time and headed out

with an abundance of ripe grain. I am

feeding it now to the cow and notice

that she gives more milk.



I learned some lessons through this

experiment. Here they are for your

benefit:



First, I used Ito San soy-beans and

they ripened too soon and shed their

leaves. I shall use a much later v‘ari-

ety next year as the object is not seed

but forage. The stock, though, ate the

dry beans, stems, pods and all. 'Also

I shall try sorghum instead of kaflir

corn in the combination, on a small

piece but shall stick to kaffir for the

main piece. I have an idea sorghum

fill make a heavier forage and cure

easier.



I might mention that where I mow-

ed first, the kafl‘ir grew again and got

nearly two feet high by frost, so I got

my cover crop after all. Caution: this

second growth of kaflir or sorghum

must not be fed and stock must not be

allowed to run on it as it generates a

deadly poison after frost.



Here are the big advantages: Plen-

ty of green feed to tide over the pe-

riod of dry pasture; easily put in with

the minimum of labor; no cultivating

to do; any left over after pasture be-

comes good again and may be cut, cur-

ed and stored for winter feed. It

makes the very best feed for cows

as the grain is right with it. My hogs

eat it green or dry, stalks and all.

More green feed and more cured dry

feed to the acre than any other one

plant or combination of plants I ever

tried—L. B. REBER.

up the farmer’s wool business, for to«

day but for the pools of future years.



A1; the central grading warehouses

in Lansing and at local grading sta-

every effort to give the farmer pooler

—-their employer—a fair deal. Michi-

gan wools are handled here as they

Would be in Boston and they pass the

Boston grade. Educational features of

the first wool pool which resulted in

cleaner wool coming into the 1921

pool, are paying out. The mills like

clean wool and Michigan pooled wool

is gaining in prestige.



The State Farm Bureau wool pool

is continuing to experience remarkable

success in disposing‘ of wool from the

Michigan pool through the medium of'

virgin wool blankets, suitings, over<

coats, yarns, and other produéts. Vol‘

ume of business has reached such a.

figure that an addition has’been built

to the State Farm Bureau building to

Farmers in some eighteen wool pool-

that Michigan is doing. In those states

wool speculators are not having the

easy time that they did and it looks as

though speculative pastures were get-

ting rather barren. Farmers in the

same eighteen wool growing states are!

APPOINTMENT of a special sugar

beet committee from the Ameri-

can Farm Bureau' Federation to inves-

tigate and suggest remedies for the

marketing problems of the sugar beet

producers of middle western states

will probably be asked of President J.

R. Howard, of theFarm Bureau Fed-

'eration, as the result of a meeting of

Michigan, Illinois and Ohio sugar beet

producers’ representatives held at

. Michigan State Farm Bureau head-

quarters Friday, October 21, the farm

bureau announced today.



Attending the Lansing meeting were

A. E. Diekman, of South Holland, 111.,

representing Illinois beet growers’ in-

terests; C. W. Wald, Columbus, Ohio,

the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s

director of vegetable and fruit market-

ing; R. P. Reavey, of Caro, Mich, and

T. C. Price, of Saginaw, of the Michi-

gan Sugar Beet Growers’ Association.



It was intimated by those attending

the meeting that President Howard

would probably be asked to appoint a

national sugar beet growers’ commit—

tee similar in character to the present

American Farm Bureau Federation

Dairy Committee of Eleven, the Na-

tional Fruit Marketing Committee or

Twenty-one, and the National Coopera-

tive Live Stock Committee of Fifteen,

all charged with investigating market-

ing problems in the fields mentioned,

with a view to improving the produc~

er’s marketing facilities and making

the path to the consumer shorter and

more economical.



Middle western states which grow

sugar beets are Michigan, Illinois,

Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota





 





PREPARING TO MEET MR. CORN

BORER.

in damage done by the borers the past

season. In the oldest infested area

within ten miles of Boston, according

to D. J. Caffrey, of the department of

agriculture, the average damage in

fields of flint corn investigated was

found to be twelve and three-tenths

per cent and maximum of eighteen per

cent. In the fields of sweet corn ex-

amined, fifty—four per cent of the corn

was infested. Outside the older area

the damage to stalk, ear and grain was

less than one per cent. In western

New York the borers have been found

on many other plants besides corn.



In explaining the cause for the rapid

spread of the borer and greater dam-

age done, Dr. L. 0. Howard suggested

that this has been a very favorable

season for insects, which may account

to rthe increased activity of the pest;





Some encouraging words were given

by Mr. Russell, a Boston market gard<

ener, who is growing sweet corn only

a short distance from the place where

the borer was first discovered on the

American continent and on the farm

where the first control work was done.

Mr. Russell said the damage from the

corn borer had been‘tremendous in the

past five years. When the pest first

got into his corn he cut down the

acre-age, but he is now raising corn on‘

just as large an acreage as ever. He

believes the borer can be controlled in

large degree by clean-up work, burn<

ing all corn stubble, Weeds and refuse.

He said the Boston market gardeners

were unanimously in favor of continu‘

ing the federal quarantine.

WOOL SELLING MORE FREELY.





 





APPROXIMATELY half, or a little

over 1,250,000 pounds of wool have

been marketed from the Michigan

State Farm Bureau’s 1921 wool pool

since August 1, according to an an-

nouncement just made by the farm bu-

reau wool department. Michigan farm-

ers placed around 2,785,800 pounds of

wool in the 1921 pool and are con-

stantly adding to that amount, as the

pool is still open. Eastern clothing and

yarn mills and middle western woolen

mills are taking the farm bureau wool.

Compared to the experience with the

1920 pool when the wool market was

lifeless from June, 1920, to February,

1921—a. period of seven months—farm

bureau officials feel that the 1921 pool

is stepping fast. Spread over a period

of two and a half months the sales to

date would average between 17,000

and 20,000 pounds daily; or about a

carload a day. At the rate the pool

has been moving to market and with-

out unforeseen conditions SUChI as a

railroad strike, slump in the market or

other difficulty coming to pass, it will

require at least an equal period to dis-

pose of the remainder of the wool in

the 1921 pool and then some little time

to close the books, the farm bureau

wool department advises.

The wool is moving at the best cur-

rent prices. The wool market is im;

proving and the farmers having wool

in the pool are getting the benefit of

the advance. Under the farm bureau

plan of pooling and selling wool col-

lectively on a quality or graded basis,

there is no speculation with the farm-

ers’ product.‘ A salaried wool pool

pack‘ six barrels, will fill twenty bush

e1 baskets, and the f0110wing compari-

sons are figured on that basis.



The following comparisons are all

based on quotations on the Chicago

market, as made by the “Packer” and

the United States Bureau of Markets:





Market Quotations July 23, 1921.



Michigan Transparents, barrels, $8@

8.50; baskets $3.50@3.75. Michigan

Duchess, barrels, $6; baskets $2.50@3.



At these prices six barrels of Trans-

parents, $48@51;. twenty baskets of

Transparents, $70@75; six barrels of

Duchess, $36; twenty baskets Duchess

$50.@60.



Market Quotations July 30, 1921.



Michigan Transparents, barrels, $8

@850; baskets $3@3.50;, Michigan

Duchess, barrels $5@6; baskets $2.25

@250.



Six barrels Transparents, $48@51;

twenty baskets, $60@70; six barrels of

Duchess, $30@36; twenty baskets $45

@50.



These quotations are for large fancy

fruit. The quotations for smaller in-

ferior fruit show even greater returns

for the basket over the barrel. For

example, on July 23 small Transpar-

ents in barrels sold for $3.50@3.75,

while the lowest quotation on Trans-

parents in baskets for the date was

$2.50. On that basis six barrels sold

for $21@22.50, and twenty baskets sold

for $50.

COSTS TO CONTEST WILL.





 





My father died and left a will. He

was married twice, had children by his

first wife, so there were two families.

He willed his first family five dollars

apiece and left his real estate to the

boys in the second family, and the

girls his personal property. The first

family are contesting the will. Can

they take-the personal property to de-

fend the will, or will the cost come

out of his estate?——J. F. K.



To the victor belong the spoils. The

only way that costs out of the estate

to provide for contesting the will could

ever be obtained would be at the end

of the suit by order of the court, if the

court should be convinced that the con-

test was in good faith and on probable

cause; and even then it is very doubt-

ful whether the court would allow the

costs to the defeated party—J. R. R.





FRUIT IN HIGHWAY.





 





Will you please let me know if any

person has the right to pick fruit from

a bsranch overhanging the highway——



The fruit belongs to the owner of

the 1 11d only, and this would be so

even i the tree stood entirely in the

highway. The rights of the public ex-

tend only to the use of the ground for

a. highway, in passing and repassing.



J. R. R.





 





SURFACE FOR CEMENT FLOORS.





 





What is the proper way to put a

hard finish on floor and steps of a.

cement porch. I have been told there

is a hardening admixture to be applied

to top surface—D. T. W.



There was at one time on the mar-

ket a preparation said to be similar to

iron filings or oxide of iron, which was

used for hardening cement and we





. have some floors at the college which





were finished with this preparation.



It is the writer’s opinion, however,

that concrete properly made has such

a good wearing surface that it is not

necessary to add any foreign material

for ordinary use. A right knowledge

of how to use the material and a little

care in construction will insure a most

excellent job.



After the base course has been laid

to the thickness desired, the surface

coat which in most cases is about half

an inch thick, should be laid as quick

1y as possible after the base course.

The surface coats will bond to the low

er course much better if both are

green than when the first course has

been allowed several days’ time to

harden; also in the process of harden-

ing the first coat accumulates a cer

tain amount of dust and foreign sub-

stances which has a tendency to sep-

arate the surface coat from the other

and thereby cause cracking and flak.

ing off when weather and freezing get

in their work.

The material for the surface coat

should be a mixture of about one part

cement and two parts sand. In this

case sand is meant to be the material

which can be screened through a

screen having a quarter-inch mesh but

the grains making up, this material

should‘ be irregular, sharp, hard and

flinty like pebbles, and should not con‘

tain more than ten per cent of loam,

organic matter or other foreign ma-

terial.



To test for cleanness of sand, put

about four inches of sand in a quart

jar and fill the jar full of water, cover





,and shake for a few minutes and allow





to stand. If more than about three-

eighths of an inch of material accumu-

lates on the top of the sand when al-

lowed to settle, it should not be used,





 





' After the material





 





 





oughly mixed and wet to a. consiétenCy

that it may be handled with a trowel

without Water coming to the surface,

it should be thoroughly worked in

place and levelled with a. wooden trow«

el or float. The wooden float wdrks in

the same way on the surface of the 081

ment as a road drag does on the road,

that is, it pulls high places ‘oft the sur-

face and tends to fill up the low places

making the surface level. However, a

smooth surface'

with the wooden float and if a smooth,

level surface is desired the cement

should be allowed to stand for.a short

time after the Wooden float is used,

until the water dries out to some ex«

tent and just about the time the initial

set begins, Which in warm weather

would not be more than half an hour.

Then, a, steel plasterer’s trowel can be

used to smooth the surface. If an at-

tempt is made to use the steel trowel

before the water has dried out of the

cement, the trowel marks will be very

prominent on the surface and it would

alsd have a tendency to make the sur-

face uneven,



If it is desired to make the material

work more smoothly than can be se—

cured with cement alone, about one

pound of hydrated lime or slaked lime

can be added for each ten pounds of

cement. This has a tendency to whit-

en the concrete slightly but in most

cases not enough to be objectionable.





DESCENT—RIGHTS IN HIGHWAYS.





 





If a single man dies leaving property

to one brother, two sisters, father and

mother and before it is probated the

father dies, who inherits the property?

A lives in city joining township, B

owns land and the road is entirely on‘

his land. On north side of road are

thirtee shade trees and survey stake

or divide between city and township

lies four feet north of the trees, or

four feet south of the city lines. Does

A have the right to nail fence on the

trees and enclose land? Could this

road be changed and Avmade to fur-

nish his share? A claims trees. B is

willing to furnish road, but don't think

A should damage trees. This road has

been there a good many years. For

twenty years ‘B has claimed trees and

protected same—F. H. M.





On the death of a single person leaw

ing parents, the parents take all his

state in this state to the exclusion of

brothers and sisters. The rights of

inheritanCe are fixed at the moment of

death. The subsequent death of one

of the heirs is immaterial. The distria

bution of the share of the heir that

dies while the estate is in course of

administration is made to the heirs,

as if he died in possession.



The question as to the trees is the

same as ‘f there were no highway

there. The ownership of a. strip of

land five feet wide is as much protect<





. ed as if it were five miles wide. There-





fore A is liable for going onto B’s

land and nailing a fence onto B’s trees.

“Dr. Sinclair says we will know (in

tour-or five days,” she replied to Av-

ery; she, turned then directly to Eaton.

“He thought there probably was a clot

under the skull,- and he .operated to»

find it and relieve it. There was one,

and we have done all we can; now we

may only wait. Dr. Sinclair has ap-

pointed himself nurse; he says I can

help him, but not just yet. I thought

you would like to know."





“Thank you; 'I did want to know;”

Eaton acknowledged. He moved away

from them, and sat down in one of the

seats further down the car. Connery

came out from the drawing‘room, went

first to one end of the car, then to the

other; and returning with. the Pullman

conductor, began to oversee the trans-

fer of the baggageof all other passen-

gers than the Santoine party to vacant

sections in the forward sleepers. Peo-

ple began to pass through the aisle;

evidently the car doors had been un-

locked. Eaton got up and left the car,

finding at the door a porter from one

of the other cars stationed to warn

people not to linger or speak or make

other noises in going through the car

where Santoine was.





As the door was closing behind Ea-

ton, a sound came to his ears from the

car he had just left—a young girl sud:

denly crying in abandon. Harriet San-

toine, he understood, must have brok-

en down for the moment, after the

strain of the operation; and Eaten

halted as though to turn back, feeling

the blood drive suddenly upon his

heart. Then, recollecting that he had

no right to go to her, he went on.





CHAPTER VIII.

Suspicion Fastens on Eaton.





S he entered his own car, Eaton

A halted; that part of the train had



its usual look and manner, or

as near so, it seemed, as the stoppage

in the snow left possible. Knowing

what he did, Eaton stared at first with

astonishment; and the irrational

thought came to him that the people

before him were acting. Then he re-

alized that they were almost as usual

because they did not know what had

happened; the fact that Basil Santoine

had been attacked~or that he was on

the train—still had been carefully kept

secret by the spreading of some other

explanation of the trouble in the car

behind. So now, in their section, Amy

and Constance were reading and knit-

ting; their parents had immersed

themselves in double solitaire; the

Englishman looked out the window at

the snow with no different expression

than that with which he would have

surveyed a landscape they might have

been passing. Sinclair’s section, of

course, remained empty; and a porter

came and transferred the surgeon’s

handbag and overcoat to the car he-

that Connery's version of what had

happened had been easily received;

some one, they said, had been taken

suddenly and seriously ill upon the

train. Their speculation, after some

argument, had pitchedon the right

person; it was the tall, distinguished-

looking man in the last car who wore

glasses. At noon, food was carried

into the Santoine car.





Keeping himself to his section, Ea-

ton watched the car and outside the

window for signs of what investigation

Connery and Avery were making.

What already was known had made it

perfectly clear that whoever had at-

tacked Santoine must still be upon the

train; for no one could have, escaped

through the snow. No one could now

escape. Avery and Connery and who-

ever else was making investigation

with them evidently were not letting

any one know that an investigation

A number of times ~





was being made.

Eaton saw Connery and the Pullman

conductor pass ”through the aisles. Ea-

ton went to lunch; on his way back

from the diner, he saw the conductors

with papers in their hands question-

ing a passenger. They evidently were

starting systematically through the

cars, examining each 'person; they

were making the plea of necessity of a

report to the railroad offices of names

and addresses of all held up by the

stoppage of the train._ As Eaton halt-

ed at his section, the two conductors

finished with the man from the rear

who had been installed in Section One,





and they crossed to the Englishman .





opposite. Eaton heard them explain

the need of making a report and heard

the Englishman’s answer, with his

name, his address, and particulars as

to who he was, where he was coming

from and whither he was going.



’ Eaton started on toward the rear of

the train.



“A moment, sir!” Connery called.



Eaton halted. The conductors con-

fronted him.



“Your name, sir?” Connery asked.



“Philip D. Eaton.”



Connery wrote down the answer.

“Your address.”



“I——have no address.”



“You mean you don’t want to

give it?” ‘



“No, I have none. I was going to

a hotel in Chicago'—which one I had

not decided yet.” ‘ ,



“Where are you coming from?”



“From Asia.”



“That’s hardly and address, Mr. Ea.-

ton!” ‘



“I can give you no address abroad.

I had no fixed address there. I was

traveling most of the time. You could

not recall me or place me by means

of any city or hotel there. I arrived in

Seattle by the Asiatic steamer and

took this train.”



“Ah! you came on the Tamba

Maru.”



Connery made note of this, as he

had made note of all the other ques-

tions and answers. Then he said some-

thing to the Pullman conductor, who

replied in the same low_ tone; what

they said was not audible to Eaton.





“You can tell us at least where your

family is, Mr. Eaton,” Connery sug-

gested.



“I have no family.”



“Friends, then,”



“I——I have no friends.”



“What?”



“What?” ,



“I say that I can refer you to no

friends.”



‘ Nowhere ?”



“Nowhere.”



Connery pondered for several mo-

ments. “The Mr. ' Hillward—-—Law-

“I thought you had decided the tel—

“I am asking you a question, Mr. Ea-

ton—not making explanations. It isn’t

possible there should be two Lawrence





. Hillwards.”





“I don’t know Hillward’s address.”



“Give me the address, then, of the

man who sent the telegram."



“I am unable to do that, either.”



Connery spoke again to the Pullman

conductor, and they conversed inaudi‘

bly for a minute. “That is all, then,”

Connery said finally. " »



He signed his name to the sheet on

which he had written Eaton’s answers,

and handed it to' the Pullman conduc-

tor, who also signed it and returned it

to him; then they went on to the pas-

senger now occupying Section Four,

without making any further comment.





Eaton abandoned his idea of going

to the rear of the train; he sat down,

picked up his magazine and tried to

read; but after an instant, he leaned

forward and looked at himself in the

little mirror between the windows. It

reassured him to find that he looked

entirely normal; he had been afraid

that during the questioning he might

have turned pale, and his paleness——-

taken in connection with his inability

to answer the questions—might have

directed the suspicions of the con-

ductors toward him. _ The others in

the car, who might have overheard his

refusal to reply to the questions, would

be regarding him only curiously, since

they did not know the real reasons for

the examination. But the conductors

———what did they think?



Already, Eaton reflected, before the

finding of the senseless form of Basil

Santoine, there had occurred the dis-

agreeable incident of the telegram to

attract unfavorable attention to him.

On the other hand, might not the ques-

tioning of him been purely formal?

Connery certainly had treated him, at

the time of the discovery of Santoine,

as one not of the class to be suspected

of being the assailant of Santoine.

Avery, to be sure, had been uglier,

more excited and hostile; but Harriet

Santoine again had treated him “trust-

fully and frankly as one with whom

thought of connection with the attack

upon her father was impossible. Eaton

told himself that there should be no

danger to himself from this inquiry,

directed against no one, but including

comprehensively every one on the

train. -



As Eaton pretended to read, he

could hear behind him the low voices

of the conductors, which grew fainter

and fainter as they moved further

away, section by section, down the car.

Finally, when the conductors had left

the car, he put his magazine away and

went into the men’s compartment to

smoke and calm his nerves. His re-

turn to America had passed the bounds

of recklessness; and what a sudden

of recklessness; and what a situation

he would now be in if his actions

brought even serious suspicion against

him! He finished his first cigar and

was debating whether to light another,

when he heard voices outside the car,

and opening the window and looking

out, he saw Connery and the brake-

man ‘struggling through the snow and

making, apparently, some search. They

had come from the front of the train

and had passed under his window only

an instant before, scrutinizing the

snowbank beside the car carefully and

looking ‘under the car, the brakeman

even had crawled under it’; ‘now they

went 0n. Eaton closed the window

and lighted his second cigar. Pres.

ently Connery passed the door of (the

. As it ’



had left the magazine pndhis locked

traveling-bag, he saw that the bag was

no longer there. It stood now between

the two seats on the floor, and picking

it up and looking at it, he found it un-

fastened and with marks about the

lock which told plainly that it had

been forced. '



His quick glance around at the oth-

er passengers, which showed him that

his discovery of this had not been no—

ticed, showed also that they had not

seen the bag opened. They would have

been watching him if they had; clearly

the bag had been carried out of the

car during his' absence, and later had

been brought back. He set it on the





 





floor between his knees and checked





ever its contents. Nothing had been





taken, so far as he could tell; for the:





bag had contained only clothing, the

Chinese dictionary and the box of cig-

ars, and these all apparently were still

there. He had laid out the things on

the seat across from mm while check-

ing them up, and now he began to put

them back in the bag. Suddenly he

noticed that one of his socks was

missing; what had been eleven pairs

was now only ten pairs and an odd sock.



The disappearance of a single sock

was so strange, so bizarre, so perplex-

ing that—unless it was accidental—-

he could not account for it at all. No

one opens a man’s bag and steals one





sock, and he was quite sure therehad'





been eleven complete pairs there ear-

lier in the day. Certainly then, it had

been accidental: the bag had been 0p-

ened, its contents taken out and ex-

amined, and in putting them back, one





sock had been dropped unnoticed. The:

absence of the sock, then, meant no l





more than that the contents of the

bag had been thoroughly investigated.

By whom? By the man against whom

the telegram directed to Lawrence

Hillward had warned Eaton?



Ever since his receipt of the tele-

gram, Eaton—as he passed through

the train in going to and from the din-

er or for other reasons—had been try-

ing covertly to determine which, if





any one, among the passengers was;

the “one” who, the telegram had warn-j

ed him, was “following” him. For at





first he had interpreted it to mean that





one of “them” whom he had to fear,





must be on the train. Later he had





felt certain that this could not be the.

who knew him would have spoken by}

He had watched particu»l

this time.





name of Hillward; but the only con-





ward,





put aboard the train a person by this

name. Now his suspicions that one of





“them” must be aboard the train re-





turned.



The bag certainly had not been car-

ried out the forward door of the car,

or he would have seen it from the

compartment at that end of the car

where he had sat smoking. As he

tried to recall who had passed the

door of the compartment, he remem-

bered no one except trainmen. The

bag, therefore, had been carried out

the rear door, and- the man who had

opened it, if apassenger, must still be

in the rear part of the train.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BECOMING

HAT.





ISS GERTRUDE ARBOGAST, of



the home economics department

of the University of Wisconsin, offers

these suggestions to aid women in se-

lecting becoming hats:



A brim which rolls up gently on the

right side and down on the left.

Whether this is a wide or narrow brim

will depend on the face beneath it.



A stout woman, generally speaking,

must wear a wider brim than the slen-

der one, since width in" the brim and

height in the crown will tend to over-

balance roundness of the face.



The short, slender woman with a

small face should almost never wear

a hat with a brim averaging more than

three to three and a half inches in

width. .



The long-faced woman, especially if

she is tall, should avoid the tall crown-

ed or tall trimmed hat. She may, how-

ever, wear a wider b’rimmed hat than

the short, slender woman.



The tall stout woman is often stun-

ning in a large brimmed hat, because

her height makes it possible for her

to wear a hat which would make the

short, stout woman appear grotesque.



Hats with mushroom brims belong

entirely to youth. Downward turning

,lines in the face, are not desirable, and

should, therefore, be not emphasized

by downward turning lines in brims

of hats.



For the person who wears glasses,

hard lines and edges in hats should be

studiously avoided. An edge may be

softened by a bias fold, a ribbon slight-

ly fulled, or a band of fur.



A hat with a stiff monotonous edge

is not likely to be becoming to many

persons especially to those who are no

longer young.



The most successful child’s hat is

the soft, pliable kind which may be

pulled down on the head and subjected

to more or less rough treatment with-

out very materially injuring its looks

and wearing qualities. Stiff, fussy hats

and dining-room, where a pass cup»-





board enables the dishes to be put

through from one room to the other.

Besides the cupboard for dishes, there

is a pantry for food supplies.



Space is provided for two stoves,

the coal or wood stove for winter, and

oil or gasoline for summer. Over the

stoves is a built-in hood opening into

a ventilating flue, which removes all

odors from the kitchen. A screened

porch may be built ‘next to the laun-

dry, and used as an outdoor dining.

room.



The next addition to the house will

provide an extra bedroom and a bath.

This will involve a one-story addition,

pictured in Fig. 3. Note that all parts

of the house, livingsroom, dining-room,

bedroom, bath and stairway, are all

reached from this hall. A side'porch

makes it convenient for the housewife

to anSwer the door, without the neces-

sity of admitting chance callers to the

kitchen or living-room.



The final addition will be to raise

the addition to two stories, providing

extra. sleeping-room above, and the

building of an icehouse and wood-

house, or coal house, at the, rear. This

icehouse is really a large refrigerator,

with bunkers so built that it need only

be filled twice a week. It is so plan-

ned that it is unnecessary to enter

the house to fill it.

' think God can' be‘ mocked.

' E not deceived, God is not mock-

ed.” That is "where many people

make a serious mistake. They



They be-



lieve that He does not keep accurate



books, that He is not efficient in the

running of His big world, and that it

is safe to impose on Him occasionally.



To “mock,” literally means to turn up



one's nose. So there are many in our



time who thin-k it perfectly safe to

turn up o’ne’s nose at the ever living



God. The ancient Hebrews thought



so, They practiced all manner of dis-



honesty and oppression on the poorer

classes. One day a man came to one

of their cities and warned them to

seek God, cease evil doing, practice

justice and deal squarely with the

poor. They listened to this farmer,

for he was a farmer, they were im-

pressed with his splendid command of

language, but they did not cease their

evil ways. But the years passed and

one day, 10- the conqueror came, the

people were too weakened to resist,

their cities were burned, and then be-

gan the long march into captivity.

And one may be certain, that, as the

long lines of prisoners chained togeth-

er marched away. from the land they

loved, never to see it again, and as

they looked back and saw the smoke

of their beloved Jerusalem ascending



Skyward, that they thought of the



warnings they had received from the



prophets. “Be not deceived,” they had

been told over and over. “God is not

to be laughed at. You cannot turn up



But they had



thought the prophets were a bit old-





" fashioned, and it was safe to fool with





the divine laws.



A certain nation in recent times

thought the same thing. It taught

that war overtopped all other consid-

erations. If treaties were in the way

of success, so much the Worse for the

treaties. If smaller nations had to be

trampled on for the sake of military

victory, their rights were not to be

considered. The gospel of Treitschke

was substituted for the gospel of John,

and the teachings of Nietzsche were

substituted for those of Christ. It was

perfectly safe to turn up the national

nose at God. The laws of men ‘are

more to be respected than the laws of

the ten commandments. But the day

came, as come it always does, that

that nation learned of its fearful mis-

take. Some way, the stow-moving God,

who seemed so indifferent as to those

who served Him and those who flout-

ed Him, was aroused, and He smote

heavily. “The mills of God grind slow-

ly,” but they do grind.





n that soweth to the flesh shall



of the flesh reap corruption.” Now

the word flesh as used here does not

mean the flesh of the body, but the

whole round of material life, untouch-

ed by the spiritual. One who spends

his time and energy on the things of

this life do not last. They will disap-

pear. They are not a safe permanent

investment. Today much is said about

investments. Today much is said

about investments. People are urged

to invest where they will receive im-

mediate and large returns. On‘ the

other hand, wise investors know the

danger that” lurks behind many of

these alluring offers. I knew a man

who put sixty-seven thousand“ dollars

into turpentine . plantations in the

south. The money had been left to

him, and it was all he had. He never





saw it again. For years afterWard he

drove a dray, and a little dog was his

; :companion.





He had not invested. He

had sowed with poor judgment. It may

fool. He is making a poor investment

of the most wonderful capital that God

has intrusted to men.



In other words, now is the time to

make wise investments of our time.

our money, our ability, our influence.

Now, is the time to be religious. Lord

Bryce is probably the best informed

foreigner on American problems, and

he asks, “Is America Christian, and is

England Christian?” For if these na-

tions are not Christian in a real and

abiding sense, the rest of the world

will not have the leadership it so sore-

ly needs. Education ought to be re-

ligious. As one looks over the modern

world, he sees what havoc an educat-

ed man who is bad at heart can cre-

ate. To educate a man in head and

not in heart is dangerous business.

The men who are creating consterna-

tion in the money world with their

colossal defaults, and their wrecking

of banks, are educated men. An ig-

noramus can pick a Ford lock and

run away with the Ford, but only an

educated man can disrupt a financial

institution, such as we have seen of

late. That is the tragedy of much of

our modern way of doing things. We

educate the head, while the heart re-

mains pagan. It is time for education

to be religious. It is time for the law

to be religious. Prohibition is not a

fact. We have deceived ourselves in

thinking it was. Prohibition is still

on trial. It is still in its preparatory

stages. Hundreds of men think it a

delightful joke to violate the prohibi-

tion laws who would not steal a horse,

or forge a check. There is but little

conscience on this. Yet any honest

man knows that the nation is better,

far better, without liquor than with. it.

Is there not a way for us to apply re-

ligion to our conception of the law?

If force must be used at first, to per-

suade violent and conscienceless men,

then let us use force.





ND the home must be religious.



You cannot mock God in the home

without hearing from it, eventually.

Religion in the home counts and it

counts big. Poor Robert Burns got

away from the teachings of the kirk in

Scotland but he never got so far that

he did‘not remember his father’s pray-

ers,-and the daily reading of the Bible.

It is time, too, for the church to be

religious. That may sound humorous,

and is not. The church is not always

as religious as it might be. And when

“I can take care of myself,” it said—“they

don’t need to talk about risks to me.”





But it went ,once too often.





After that it was only part of a pitcher, and

they didn’t need to talk to it about risks—it knew.





A lot of people won’t believe coffee can harm

them until it does harm them. ‘





“Nonsense!” they say, “it never disturbs me.”

When it does disturb them, then they know.





Often the disturbance which they then recog-

nize is the result of irritations to nerves and di-

gestion which have been going on for a long time.





If you have to lie awake at night and count

the clock ticks, after an evening cup of coffee, then

you know that it’s better to be safe than sorry.





The risk of coffee’s harm is gone when the

meal-time drink is Postum.





Here’s a delightful and satisfying table bev-

erage, with charm for the taste and without harm

for nerves or digestion. You know you’re on the





right road with Postum; there’s never the pos-

sibility that you’ll go once too often.





Posrum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)

made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.

Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who

prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared),

made by boiling for 20 minutes.

Profit Through Club Work





Boys Gam Money—Maémg Idea: From 01115 1461211217“





N the state of Minnesota, compris-



ing eighty-six counties, there are

30,000 boys and girls who are actively

engaged in club Work, raising improv-

ed live stock, or corn, or making bet-

ter bread.



Last year alone,

these clubs raised half a million dol-

lars’ worth of products.



Every year more

spent in prizes to the boys and girls

participating in the different contests,

and every penny of it is worth while,

according to the state ofl‘icials who

make the appropriations. ~



A thousand boys and girls are given

free trips to the state fair, 3. short

course at the College of Agriculture,

or the International Live Stock Expo-

sition every year.



Bankers in the state, promoting the

calf and pig clubs, loaned $100,000 to

boys and girls last year, bringing in

new and improved blood to hundreds

of herds.



Besides engaging in- contests and

learning new methods, the boys and

girls are getting practical results as

farmers and home-makers.



One of the boys in a potato club

wrote to the Minnesota College of Ag-

riculture: this significant statement:

“When father saw that I was able to

grow 400 bushels of fine potatoes to

the acre on the same kind of land on

which he grew 135 bushels an acre of

rough, scabby ones, he was anxious

to get my seed and to use the meth-

ods I used as a club member.”





There is a story that is told of a,





thirteen year-old, of Sandy, Minne-

sota, who was the champion potato

grower of the boys’ and girls’ clubs of

the state in 1919. This little girl raised

664 bushels of potatoes to the acre,

the record crop in the history of the

state, and made a profit of $528. So

far has her fame traveled that the

Finnish government obtained a picture

of her, and is to publish her story in

Finland as an inspiration to boys and

girls there.



Each club member is required to

keep a systematic record of his work,

showing his expense and his income.

At the end of 1920, reports of the boys

and girls completing the year’s work

showed the total value of the products

to be $321,275.48, while the total costs

were but $147,426.82.





the ' members of,





than $40,000 is \





In other words, the boys and girls

made a profit of $173,848.66, which

isn’t bad farming.



But the edu’cational'value of the

work to the state cannot be measured

in money, according to T. A. Erick-

son, state leader of boys’ and girls’

clubs. , ‘



Club work socializes community life

through the boys and girls and gives

young people a real motive in all their

work. They are trained through it for

community leadership, and are taught

that it is infinitely better to be a pro-





prietor of farm land, farm animals,





and farm machinery than to be amere

wage earner.———The Furrow.





 





CLUB WORK BRINGS OPPORTUNI-

TIES FOR GIRLS.





OW to take advantage of the op-



portunity close‘at home is a les-

son a good many girls have learned

through club work under the direction

of the United States Department of

Agriculture and the state agricultural

colleges. Vera is a Florida girl, in her

second year of canning club work.

The one—tenth acre of tomatoes requir-

ed of club members was faithfully cul-

tivated this year, and also another

tenth-acre plot which she planted in

beans. Her tomatoes were the first

on the market and sold for $6 a crate.

From the fresh tomatoes alone, not

counting what she sold canned, she

cleared $161. The beans matured late

and also brought a good price.



When school was over, Vera looked

about for a profitable occupation. She

lives near a vacant old store, which

gave her an idea. Before risking any

money on an uncertain venture, she

experimented with a. little cool—drink

stand next to the store building. This

did not involve much investment of

her tomato money, and yielded good

returns. It was soon evident that what

the district really needed was a little

grocery and bread store. Her first pur-

chases in this direction were sold from

the stand, but in a very few weeks her

profits warranted renting thefold store

next to her little stand. Now she has

about $300 worth of stock, besides

many cans of tomatoes and beans of

her own raising to sell. She sews

when there are no customers. She is

banking an average of $50 a week.

A FARM EGG RECORD.





 





FTER reading the editorial, “Has



Biddy Joined the Union,” in a re-

cent issue of the Michigan Farmer, it

prompted me to send you my egg rec-

ord for August, 1921. I have never

kept a record before and now I am

glad I did, for I was agreeably surpris-

ed at the end of August to see how

many eggs we did get and how much

they were worth.



Of course, August is a poor month

to get a record as the hens are pretty

well laid out before August and I am

well satisfied that we got a great many

more eggs in each of the five months

previous to this record and that being

still have six

months to get quite a few more eggs.



We merely keep hens as-a sideline

and just feed in the old-fashioned farm

way.



The record from fifty-two Barred

Rock hens follows:

FINISHING COCKERELS.





 





HE marketing of thin chickens is



not conserving our meat supplY.

nor is it the most profitable method to

producers. Present prices of market

poultry admit of the liberal use of

feeds, and the marketing, of well-flesh-

ed birds.



The best birds to flesh or fatten are

those of the heavier breeds, such as

Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and

Plymouth Rocks. The light breeds,

such as Leghorns, seldom pay to fat-

ten unless they are very thin in flesh.



The birds intended for fattening

should be placed in a pen, or in a slat-

ted coop. The process is not difficult

if you will pay attention to» a few

points that are essential.



Feed very lightly for the first day

that birds are in the pen,‘but be sure

to” give them a drink (milk is best).

1‘” feed gradually Whatever birds





teen to sixteen days' feeding. Such

birds will not be very fat, but may be

fat enough to cook and eat well. Some

markets demand fatter birds.



The most profitable gains are made

on those birds which weigh from three

and one-half to four and one-half

pounds when put up to fatten.



The grains fed should be finely

ground and, if possible, should be mix-

ed with sour milk, to a consistency of

pancake batter. The more milk a

chicken will take the more it will gain.

Milk appears to have no good substi-

tute for fattening chickens. If you can-

not get milk, then add ten to fifteen

per cent of meat meal to the ration,

and mix with water. The addition of

a little green food daily will help mat-

ters. Many people get better results

by feeding a little salt. About one-half

pound to one hundred pounds of dry

grain is sufficient. This mixes best by

being dissolved in water and adding a

little.at each feed. Be careful not to

use too much.



The best grains available. now are a

mixture of ground barley, cornmeal,

finely ground buckwheat, and shorts.

Oats are good if part of the hull ,is

sifted out, as are also ground brewers’

grains, and shorts mixed with double

the quantity of sour milk. In general,

feed nearly one—third shorts and what-

ever finely ground grains you may

have about a farm.



The essentials are to select healthy

birds, keep pen clean and free from

vermin. If chickens do not eat all feed

in fifteen minutes, remove what is left

from pen, and mix ground grain with

sour milk if possible.

KEEPING TB. CHICKENS.





 





We have some four months’ old pul-

lets from eggs of a. flock that showed

signs of tuberculosis. Do you think

there is any danger of these pullets

developing the disease if they were

put with a. healthy flock ?—E. G. ‘





We doubt very much the advisability

of your keeping the hens affected with

tuberculosis or the pullets hatched

from their eggs, as the two chief

means of spreading this disease, is

through the excrement of the diseased

hens and through their eggs. Although

the pullets may not show the trouble

at present, it is likely to develop later

on and even if it doesn’t develop, it

may show itself in the next genera-

tion. Tuberculosis is one of the most





serious diseases which attack poultry. ‘





It causes greater loss than any other

disease, and is one of the most diflicult

to handle.



A farm flock which is affected with

this disease should be entirely dispos-

ed of, and then the poultry house and

its surroundings should be thoroughly

cleansed and disinfected before start-

ing with new birds. In making the

poultry house sanitary, one should col-





lect all-the droppings and litter for ‘





fertilizer. The floors, walls and ceil-

ings should be thoroughly scraped so

that no dust or dirt remains. All the

hoppers, drinking fountains, nests and

roosts should be removed and cleans-ed

and everything in the poultry house

and yard should be saturated‘with a

good commercial coal tar disinfectant.

Another application of the disinfectant

should be made within ten days.



All places where hens might stray,p,o

such as under corn cribs and hogs





‘pens, should be boarded up, sink holes





and wallOws should be filled with fresh

dirt, and, if possible, places where the

chickens have been allowed to run

should be plowed and cropped.



We believe that it would pay you to





_ be thorough in the eradication of this

' .. unease rather then to continue with

WHEAT





The total supply of wheat available

for the rest of the crop year as re-

vealed by the government report was

considerably larger than expected in

view of‘the size of the crop and the

rate at which it has been disappearing

in the last three months. There is an

obvious inconsistency somewhere in

the official figures. The inconsistency

may be due to an error in the stocks

of wheat in the country mills and ele-

vators or in the farm reserve. If these

figures are correct then it appears that

the wheat crop has been greatly un-

derestimated. There is no satisfactory

way to check the figures at present

and if they are accepted by the trade,

the market must labor under a load of

forty to sixty -millions more wheat

than was expected a short time ago.

Threats of the rail strike have im-

proved the demand for flour and mills

have been buying cash wheat rather

freely here. On the decline also some

new export business was uncovered

with Italy, Spain and the Orient in the

market, and Greece is expected to

place a large order in the next week

or ten days. The effect of shipping

large quantities of wheat abroad un-

sold during August and September has

not yet disappeared, as some of this

wheat has not yet been placed.





CORN





The heaVy movement of old corn

which has been under way for a num-

ber of weeks is gradually falling off

but the extreme weakness in the wheat

market has prevented any advance in

the price of corn. Corn industries are

grinding at a high percentage of their

capacity. Husking of the new crop is

progressing rapidly although costs of

harvesting are absorbing a consider-

able share of the price being paid to

producers in the corn surplus states.

New corn is moving rather freely for

this season and grades comparatively





high.

OATS





The oats market shows no material

change as receipts are in excess of im-

mediate requirements and the visible

supply which must be carried in spec-

ulative hands far exceeds anything ev-

er before known.





SEEDS

narrow range for several weeks. Re-

ceipts are, rather heavy but the de-

mand is fairly active. About onethird

of the red clover seed crop and one-

half of the alsike crop had been sold

up to the middle of October accOrding

to the bureau of markets.





FEEDS





Spot demand for feeds shows slight

improvement "due to cooler weather

and strike news. Prices are firm with

the exception of linseed meal. Pro:

duetion of all feeds is fairly high and

accumulated stocks are large. Cotton-

seed meal shows more strength at

present than any other feed.





HAY





Hay loadings in the surplus districts

have increased materially and arriv-

als at distributing markets are running

larger than a few weeks ago. Prices

at most points, however, have held

steady with receipts readily absorbed.

Demand is confined mostly to the bet-





ter grades.

WOOL





With moderate quantities of wool

passing into the-hands of mills, prices

are firm and tending slightly upward.

The woolen goods trade shows no

change. Clothing manufacturers are

endeavoring to meet the popular de-

mand for low-priced suits and are

turning to cloth made from the lower

grade wools. This partly explains the

increase in the quantity of these wools

which mills are absorbing.





BEANS





The Michigan bean market is about

the same as a week ago. Prices are

quoted at $4.75 per 100 pounds f. o. b.

Michigan shipping points for choice

hand-picked white beans for immedi-

ate shipment. Most beans for October

shipment have been sold. Prices for

November shipment are quoted $4.60

percentage of waste is high‘ in the ear-

ly clrop so that the process of picking

POULTRY AND EGGS





In spite of the big advance in the

price of fresh eggs which continued

through the past week, the undertone

of the market remains strong. The

movement out of storage is rather rap-

id. Cold storage holdings decreased

935,000 caSes during September and

appear to be moving at an even more

rapid rate during October. Holdings

of frozen poultry increased 5,500,000

pounds during September compared

with an increase of only 1,600,000 lbs.

during the same month last year. The

total on October 1 was 25,598,000 lbs.

BUTTER





Butter markets show a slight ten-

dency to weaken under present prices

which have scored a big advance in

the last few weeks. A cargo of 2,150

casks of 120 pounds each of Danish

butter arrived in the east and consid-

erable Canadian butter is also being

offered to this county. Irish butter

was offered to New York and Argen-

tina was said to have offered butter to

San Francisco at 360, duty paid. Re-

movals from storage are unusually

heavy because of the big advance in

prices which show a profit on storage

holdings. Fresh receipts of the fine

grades have increased also and con-

cessions were necessary to move all

GRAND RAPIDS





Movement of potatoes out of western

and northern Michigan was perhaps at

its peak this week. Shipping gradu-

ally inoreased all last week with Sat-

urday’s movement of 202 cars' as the

heaviest of the season. Loading con-

tinued heavy this week with buying

for shipping much stronger than for

storing locally. Lighter movement in

other states, together with the bullish

effect of the threatened railroad strike

had a tendency to steady the market

early this week. The local paying pricp

es ranged from $1.60@1.80 per cwt.

T the annual'meeting of the board

of supervisors of Chippewa county

a warm discussion was had over the

price to be allowed for sheep killed by

dogs. It appears that ten dollars for

sheep, and seven dollars for lambs,

had been formerly the allowance in

such cases. One supervisor suggested

that the amounts should be five and

two dollars respectively. Another sup-

ervisor suggested that owners of dogs

should be held strictly accountable un-

der the law for the losses incurred be-

cause of their dogs. This is undoubt-

edly the way out, provided ownership

can be established. There are too

many useless dogs and cats in the land

anyway—Omen.





 





MILK PRODUCEDS’ MEETING.





(Continued from page 400).

State Farm Bureau, who tendered the

association an invitation to become

identified with the Michigan State

Farm Bureau in a. manner similar to

that followed by the elevator exchange

and the potato exchange, which invi-

tation was later formally accepted by

a resolution of the convention.



A. J. Glover, editor of Hoard’s

Dairyman, was present and gave a

forceful address, in which he laid em-

phasis on the influence of the law of

supply and demand as applied to dairy

products, and urged the importance of

giving close attention to the economic

details of the business of production,

particularly as related to the culling

of the dairy herd as a. means to the

end of placing the business on a. per-

manently profitable basis.



The closing address of the meeting

was made by the Commissioner of Ag-

riculture, Mr. H. H. Halliday, who

gave much sound advice on the eco—

nomics of dairy production, making

brief reference to the work of the

newly created department of agricul—

ture which was organized largely for

the purpose of taking over administra-

tive duties 'connected with enforce-

ment of the law, and also to aid agri-

culture in every way in which it pre-

sents itself. In the creation of this

department, something like thirty dif-

ferent agricultural activities have been

assembled. These activities‘were for-

merly conducted with a total pay-roll

of one hundred and twelve people,

which pay-roll has been reduced to

seventy-two under centralized adminis-

tration. Mr. Halliday assured his hear-

ers of the close cooperation between

his department in the Michigan Agri—

cultural College and other agricultural

agencies in the state, and expressed

confidence in the future of the dairy

industry of Michigan.



The faircand impartial manner in

which the convention was conducted

by President Hull preserved harmony

among the delegates throughout the

deliberation, as his plea that every in-

dividual and every element in the or-

ganization present their ideas to the

board of directors for their careful

consideration will undoubtedly~ tend

toward harmony in the future.
