realizes that

times do change. Take it just a few years

ago, the only way we thought we could

saw wood was with the old buck-saw, or

by manipulating our end of the cross-cut.

But now, we put the best hired man on the

place—the gas engine—on the job and cut

cords in the time it used to take to saw





pieces.





There is no doubt but what the old ways

of doing things contained certain personal

associations which are missing now. Take,

for instance, there must have been a feel-

ing of regard in wearing clothes made by

mother from cloth she spun on the loom.

There is‘ that personal relationship to the

garment which does not exist When we go

down to Sam Blumenthal’s and buy a suit

for $29.50.



So, in the sawing of wood, there is the

spirit of contest with the fellow at the

other end of the cross-cut and/the satisfac-

tion of seeing your strength and his laying

to waste a giant of the forest. Then, too,

there is a lot of pleasure in the after

effects of a tussle with thewsaw when you

sit before a big stack of flannel cakes and

make it disappear. And last, but not least,

what beats the enjoyment of a well-earned

sleep? '



The personal element of the old ways

can not be disregarded, but it would seem

folly to think of mother making our clothes

now. Times have changed and so have our

duties and pleasures. In the transition

from the personal age to that of metal, we

have changed our thoughts, too’f’or rather

broadened them. Individual and family

thought should exist, but more for the pur-

pose of helping the individual and the fam-

ily to serve aneighborhood and nation bet-

ter. Really, our neighborhoods have broad-





considerably in

generation,



so that they now in-

clude multitudes instead of a few individu-

als. The might of metal has been greatly

responsible for this change, for metal put

to work has done a great share of our work

for us and has given us the time to con-

sider bigger and broader things.



So, let’s put up the old bucksaw and

give the cross-cut a rest while the engine

“put-put-puts” away, giving the buzz-saw

the pep to quickly turn logs into cords.

By this, it is not meant that the old “arm-

strong” sawdust makers should be relegat-

ed to the junk heap but, on the contrary,

they should be given good care for they

will come handy for small 'jobs when the

getting ready for .the buzz-saw and engine

equipment is inconvenient and would not

save time.



The saving of time is a modern tendency

which is essential to human-progress. It

therefore, seems that there is a social rea-

son for modern conveniences and that we

help general progress as well as our own

when we use efficient labor-savers at every

opportunity. ‘

CURRENT COMMENT





.HILE the threat-

ened railroad





"'1 1





 





 





j . The strike has been avert-

] Raflroad ed the vexed railroad

Problem problem is not set-





tled. The country still

has a hard task ahead to accomplish

its settlement. And to the end that it

may be settled equitably and justly for

all concerned the public should have

all the facts relating to the problem.

This can scarcely be properly accom-

plished through the medium of exist-

ing agencies. A mass of data prepared

by the Association of Railway Execu-

tives is available, and is probably in

the main dependable, but its fair inter-

pretation by the press is a difficult

matter and would scarcely be accepted

by the public as conclusive evidence

upon which to base an intelligent opin-

ion as ‘to the best solution of the prob-

lem. On the other hand, the claims

of the workmen as voiced through

their organizations will not receive

general credence, regardless of their

merits, unless substantiated by an on;

biased investigation.



The transportation problem is an

economic one. The public needs and

should have dependable economic in

formation regarding it. The govern-

Jment would contribute to its wisest

solution by employing trained econo-

mists to prepare understandable state-

ments setting forth the economic status

of railroad operators, workers, food pro-

ducers and the consuming public in

relation to this problem. Any final set‘

tlement of the problem must satisfy

an intelligent public opinion, and to

this end it is essential that the public

should have at hand dependable facts

upon which to base a sound opinion.





HE other day Milt-





’ on Carmichael.

TheH.C.Lo the gem-etary of the

m Huckle- Wayne County Farm



berries Bureau, who has been





making a‘ study of the

Detroit market, told an interesting

story about huckleberries. In his in-

vestigations he found that the pickers

in the northern part, of the state were

getting two dollars per case, less forty

cents for the case, and at no time did

huckleberries bring less than eight dol-

late on the Detroit market. In other

linings but another version of the

cum of-the wide spread between

W8 and the consumer’s pric-

¥‘ - ‘ were that of the farmer sell-





 





   





.course contributed in the withdratval‘_





 





ing a hog to buy a ham and the story

of the hide and shoe. Such occurrences

do an injustice to both producer and

consumer and often cause the waste

of large quantities of human food b‘B-

cause the producer can not afford to

handle it without profit. But they are

growing less as the evils which cause

them are gradually being eliminated.





Sane and sensible cooperation seems

by far the most effective way to cor-

rect these evils. It’ should therefore be

strongly supported by farmers. The

indications are that. the farmers are

supporting it, as after a generation of

talk, cooperation is taking hold and,

like the boy, is growing like a. weed.

But also, like the boy, it may make

some youthful errors. In the correc-

tion of these errors, let’s use sensible

corrective methods rather than trying

to “lam the life out of it” which seems

the human impulse to do when the

young make mistakes. Cooperation is

at a. critical stage of its development

-—let’s treat it right.





HE notable fea-





The Gnu,” a1 talk made by Presi-

Growers dent C. H. Gustafson,

Platform of U. S. Grain Grow-





ers, Inc‘.. to a group

of publishers of the leading agricultur-





al papers of the country at ChicagO'





last week, was the statement that his

organization is seeking no special priv-

ileges and no special legislation. All

its officials are asking is the confidence

and patience of its members while the

big task of organization is being com-

pleted. Then the farmers who are di-

recting this enterprise are willing to

meet the economic test of competition

with existing marketing agencies and

stand or fall on the result.



This is the kind of spirit which

should prevail in every undertaking of

this kind, since in the end this is the

economic test to which every business

enterprise must be subjected and de-

pend for its permanence upon its eco-

nomic supremacy. The organization

for which Mr. Gustafson spoke is the

largest cooperative marketing enter-

prise ever undertaken. ‘It has already

made contracts with more than 20,000

farmers in the principal grain produc-

ing states who have an estimated an-

nual marketable surplus of 30,000,000

bushels of grain. Its membership is

growing rapidly and its officers are

confident of reaching a membership

representing an annual marketable

surplus of 100,000,000bushels of grain,

which. in their judgment will put the

organization in a, position to compete

successfully with existing grain mar-

keting agencies with a resultant sav-

ing to their grain producing member-

ship.



The spirit in which Mr. Gustafson

and his associates are working out the

big task with which they have been

charged is worthy of general cemmen-

dation and emulation. Farmers’ coop-

erative organizations are no exception

to the general business rule that they

must show advantageous economic or

service benefits to their membership if

they are to endure, and an early real-

ization of this~fact on the part of its

promotors promises well for the final

success of any cooperative business

enterprise.





HAT the threat-

ened railroad





‘ Class 1.15. strike was averted is

Public a. matter for general

Interest congratulation, not





only because of the

certain hardship and suffering which

would have been the inevitable result

of such a catastrophe has been avoid“

ed, but as well because public interest

has again triumphed over class inter

est in our great democracy. Great

credit is due to the leadership bfr gov-'

ernment officials whose patriotic





ture of an inform- .





of the strike order, and to the more

conservative leaders of the brother-

hoods whose efforts contributed to the

same end. The immediate hardship has

been averted and, we believe, substan-





tial progress has been made toward ’





establishing the supremacy of public

interest in the adjustment of indus-

trial disputes of this kind. .



While the ostensible reason for call-

ing off the strike given by some of the

labor leaders was in substance that

“we cannot fight the government,” the

lack of public sympathy in their move

was doubtless an even greater contrib-

uting factor to the result than the vig-

orous steps which were being taken by

government officials to. combat the

walkout. It is a foundation principle

of democra‘cy that the interest of the

whole people is greater than that of

any faction or class, and in its final

analysis the ultimate success of de-

mocracy depends upon the mainte-

nance of that principle. '



And this principle upon which our

democracy was built has been pretty

well maintained in our country since

it was established nearly a. century

and a half ago. True, special privilege

has shown its head and had its brief

inning but has been largely, if not en-

tirely subdued in the public interest.

And in this day of class organization

the opposite extreme of large groups

of citizens who seek to right their real

or fancied wrongs, sometimes with

scant regard for the public interest,

our democracy is being subjected to

a new test, which it is destined to

meet successfully, not only to the great

benefit of the American people but. to

the people of the whole world who sun

yive the present great poltical and in‘

dustrial disorganization and those of

unborn generations who will come af-

ter them. ' .



This must be true because our peo-

ple are largely made up of intelligent

and patriotic citizens, who want to be

fair in their attitude. No matter in

which of the great classes of our citi-

zens his lot may be cast, whether he

is *a workman, employer or farmer, the

average man is patriotic in his atti~

tude and is inclined to seek no more

than that to which he believes himself

to be entitled. There are, of course,

exceptions to this general rule, but “by

and large” it undoubtedly holds true.

The difficulty of adjustment lies in the

average man’s limited point of view.

Here the powerful force of a. sound

public opinion must come in to save

the day, operating through the govern-

ment as it ever does in the final analy-

Sis to settle the point at issue.



Class organization is a good thing.

When rightly directed it is a powerful

force for the protection of individual

and otherwise helpless units of hu-

manity. But this power for good in

any class organization is subject to

abuses which always creep in, ’and

which must be remedied from outside

opposition if at all. Here the public

interest comes in and the case must

be arbitrated by the people in other

classes whose

Fortunately no one industrial class of

our citizens is, or is likely to be, pre-

dominant in this country. Therein lies

the safety of our democracy and the

justice of public judgment in times 0

industrial stress. '

.‘I the Michigan Farmer of August

.27, I told the discouraging story of\

my failure to get a good stand of

potatoes, as was common in many 10-

calities in Michigan this year, and my

subsequent effort to patch up the

l'stand by replanting in July. At that

'time I promised 'Michigan Farmer

readers to have another protograph

taken at the" same spot in the field

and report the result at digging time.

The, accompanying cut is from such



a photograph, taken in late. September.

It shows that by planting in between

the hills which came from the first

’ planting I got a fairly good stand, and

while I didn’t get a big crop, I am

:Well satisfied with the results of the

comparatively small investment made

in the experiment. The yield was right

. around one hundred bushels per acre,





' and while the tubers run rather small ..





in .size' they are mostly merchantable

and of very good quality. While this

was not a very satisfactory crop, I am





. satisfied that it is at least seventy-five

‘and probably one hundred per

”better than it‘would have been if no





cent





effort had been made to patch it up.

At present prices it will pay cost of

production and a little profit instead

which would

have been certain without patching up

the stand. ‘

Practical Lessons from-this Experi-

. merit.

This, of course, is a source of satis-

faction, even if the crop was not what

it should have been, but the practical





‘demonstration regarding soil fertility





as related to the potato crop gained

from this experience is a source of

much greater satisfaction. A portion

of the field on which this crop was

grown was in rather poor physical

condition, while the balance of the

field was in good condition. This was

due to the fact that during the period

of excessively high production costs

the expense of good management in

handling our farms. The “war history”

of this field is as follows:



In 1914 the field, then smaller than

at present, was planted to potatoes fol-

lowing alfalfa and an excellent crop

secured. In 1915 it was seeded to a

mixture of June clover and alfalfa and

a very little timothy in a light sowing

of oats and an excellent stand secur-

ed. In 1916 the field cut the heaviest

hay crop I ever harvested. In the first

crop the clover predominated. The

yield was over four big loads per acre.

With the clover off the alfalfa got un—

der way slowly and later the field out

another crop of mixed clover and al-

falfa of a little over one big load per

acre. The exceedingly cold winter

which followed killed out most of the

alfalfa, except a strip along the west

side of about one—quarter of the field

where a fair stand remained.



Here war conditions commenced to

interfere with the management of this

field. It should have been started in a

new rotation at once. But a shortage

of help made it impossible to get this

field plowed at a seasonable time the

next spring. As the season progressed

I noted that a very thin stand of time

othy remained over the entire filed in

addition to a fair sprinkling of alfalfa.

along one side. The timothy plants

stood about a foot apart and had stool-

ed out enormously and were making a

very vigorous growth so I concluded

to let it go and, cut the hay. That

year, 1917, the field cut over two big

loads of very coarse timothy hay per

acre. In 1918 it was planted to corn

and a fair crop secured. That fall the

field was sown to rye and given a light





top-dressing of manure during Min- 11 ’51—

ter. The following spring i: “'HQ ungui—

a very heavy growm m’ :Hrnw and

lodged badly, which, logviher with un-

favorable moismre conditimis, caused

the seeding to fail. The "down” con

dition of the grain left considerable





rye on the ground which later rains

brought on to make a heaVy volunteer

stand. Here, again, war conditions in

terfered with good management and

this volunteer stand was allowed to

was harvested in 1920 without any cost

mature a very fair rye crop,





threshing. Last spring the field was

planted to potatoes to resume its place .

in the regular rotation. It Will be seen

from this that the field had not been

well handled and could not be expect-4

ed to produce a very good crop. P



In the meantime the field had been

enlarged by moving one fence to in.

clude in it some two acres of an ad-

joining field which was in alfalfa,

which was plowed with the balance of

the field for potatoes. Adjoining this

strip and on the thinnest part, of the

old field I applied a. liberal coating of

muck. last fall and supplemented it

with a. light coat of stable manure. On

this strip the potatoes were fully as

good as on the alfalfa sod, where the

yield was fully one hundred and fifty

bushels per acre. On the 'west side of

the field where thelalfalfa had stuck

with the timothy hay the yield was

around one undred and twenty bush-

els. In the center of the field Where

the land was depleted of its humus

content to a greater extent the yield

was below one hundred bushels, and

the late planting was very noticably

poorer than the first planting.



This experience shows very clearly

the importance of a legume in the

crop rotation closely preceding pota-





toes. It also shows the superiority of

offered by the Chicago Board of Trade.

Corn which would win high honors

in one section might be throvvn out in

the other section on the point of adap-

tability. This, however, is only one of

the problems to be considered in mak-

ing selections. For a guidance to

Michigan farmers the writer offers the

following suggestions:

Size and Appearance of Ears to

Select.

With the possible exception of





Southeastern Michigan it will be bet-





ter to select sixteen-rowed ears as rep





vesentatiVe corn produced in Region

No. 2, while feurteen-roWed ears will

Won in International-Contests.





tion for most of Region No. 1. In no

case should one select ears carrying

more than eighteen rows or‘ the sam-

ple will not be seriously considered by

the, judges because of the adaptation

point.



There have been instances in the

past when rough and deeply indented

ears have been selected; however. we

should stay away‘from this type. Corn

belt exhibitors in the past have great-

ly favored the rough hacky ears but

times are changing and we find that

they are coming to believe'more in

the merits of the smoother type.



Rough ears do not belong in a Mich-

i'gan exhibit and the International

judges are quite likely to score against





such a type. It is highly advisable

that sixteen-rowed ears carrying her:

nels with smooth or shallow indentar

tions be selected. This is especially

true in Region No. 1 where an earlier

type of corn must be grown.



Ten inches is the limit in length

for Michigan corn. Growers located

in Region No. 2 would do well to se‘

lect ears about eight and a half to

nine inches in length, while those lo‘

cated in Region No. 1 should hold-

their length to about seven inches. If

longer ears than these be selected the

judges are more than likely to consider

them too long to mature in our normal

growmg season.



Cylindrical ears are always liked by

judges; however: the corn committee

of last year’s show looked favorably

upon the slightly tapering type of ear.

Experimental work of the last few

years has demonstrated that slightly

tapering ears yielded about a bushel

and a half better than the cylindrical

ears. It, is wise to discard the badly

tapering ears and to hold to a slightly

tapering or‘cylindrical type.



The rows should be straight and 1'

carried well out over the tips. The

butts naturally should be well rounds.

ed and not coarse or bumpy.



Emphasis should be laid upon uni-

formity. Do not allow two or three

off-type ears to throw out your saw _

BURN RUBBISH HEAPS NOW.





 





0 your insect killing early,” would

be a. good motto for Michigan

farmers this fall. And every farm

should have its own little clean-up day.

Burning of rubbish heaps will mean

great saving for orchardists and other

growers in the state, according to R.

H. Petit, professor of entomology at

M. A. C., because enormous numbers

of harmful insects find protection un-

der fallen leaves and other waste de-

caying matter during the winter and

their destruction now will prevent

them from inflicting damage in the

spring.



“One insect killed now will mean

thousands less next summer. Leaves,

especially from broad leaf trees such

as oaks and maples, are the worst rub-

bish for harboring the pests. Winter

examination has shown shavings and

straw to be of less importance.”



Among theimportant insects which

may be controlled in this way are

chinch-bugs, grape leaf-hoppers, potato

leaf-hoppers, strawberry weevils, black

stink bugs of squash, plum curculio

and the tarnished plant bug.





SALES TAX GETS SUPPORT.





 





HILE the Fordney-Penrose com-



promise tax measure will un-

doubtedly reach the White House af-

ter some trimming in conference, the

sales tax proposition is much in the

public eye at. present. It is more than

likely that either the Smoot manufac~

turers’ three per cent sales tax or a.

one-half ofume per cent general turn-

oVbr sales tax will be brought up later,

.in connection with a soldiers' home

bonus bill or other proposed measure

calling for large appropriations. Not-

withstanding the opposition of the

farm organizations to the sales tax,

powerful influences are at work to get





it incorporated into the federal tax





System. It is claimed to be the easiest

method of collecting taxes and on the

other hand, like all indirect taxation,

it presents many possibilities for prof-

ligate expenditures.





FOR THE FUNDING OF RAILROAD

DEBTS.





 





HE bill for funding the $50,000,000



of railroad debts was ordered fav-

orably reported by the House Inter-

state Commerce committee. One

amendment bars claims of roads

against the government on account of

inefficiency of labor during govern-

ment control. Another permits the

marketing of railroad securities now

in the hands of the railmad adminis-

tration through private channels, in

addition to purchases by the War

Finance Corporation.

GRANGE AGAINST PROFIT GUAR-



ANTEES.





 





’ R. T. C. ATKESON, Washington

representative of the National

Grange, declared that it was a matter

of‘ precedent in the National Grange

that it is uniformly opposed to a gov‘

ernment guaranty of dividends or prof-

its to any private enterprise. Dr. At-

keson said that when the original bill

was before the committee, he then told

the members that he did not think that

the Esch-Cummins bill was a. perfect

piece of legislation but that it was

probably the very best that could be

prepared and passed at the time it was

enacted, and that changes should be

made whenever experience demon-

strated the necessiyt. He believed that

experience has now demonstrated the

need for the change as indicated by

the hearing. But he was willing to





 





depend on the wisdom of the commit-

tee and of congress to make such

changes as may be necessary to meet

the new conditions that have develop-

ed since the enactment of the law.





 





WANT STATE RIGHTS RESTORED.

S PEAKERS for state railway com~



missioners made their argument

chiefly in favor of state rights in in-

trastate rate making. John E. Benton,

solicitor of the National Association of

Railway and Utilities Commissioners,

urged the enactment of the Capper bill

to! restore the authority of the state





commissions to fix rates within state

borders, and to repeal the six per cent





 





Mr. Benton as-

serted that the raising of rates over

three cents per'mile has had the effect

of drying up passenger traffic, and that

the recent rate advances had -been

hurtful instead of helpful to the rail-

roads.





guaranty to carriers.





ANTI-FILLED MILK BILL MEETS

OPPOSITION.





 





HE Voigt anti-filled milk bill is



meeting with vigorous opposition

in congress, with a strong lobby es-

tablished in Washington by the manu-

facturers to defeat it. The Voigt bill

prohibits all compounds of evaporated

skim—milk and vegetable fats from be-

ing manufactured and sold in the

United States.



The farm and dairy organizations

have given their support to the Voigt

bill, but there are some dairy leaders

who are beginning to feel that they

are “backing the wrong horse." The

Voigt bill is a good one if it could be

enacted into law, but the chances of

its passing are very remote, while the

Fordney bill now before the ways and

means committee, which seeks to pro-

hibit the manufacture and sale of filled

milk by putting a tax of three and a

half cents a can upon’the commodity

and provides high license fees for the

manufacturers and retailers who han-

dle it, is in a. fair way to become a law

if backed by the dairy interests. Both

the filled cheese and oleomargarine

problems were solved by means of the

tax and license methods.





AIR MAIL SERVICE REPORT.





 





HE report of performance of the



Air Mail Service from July 1 to

September 30‘, 1921, made public by

the post office department, shows a

percentage of performance of ninety-

eight per cent, number of miles flown

391,018; number of letters carried 10,-

014,230. During the quarter there were

no fatalities or injury to employes on

regular mail trips. The cost per mile

of operation during the period was

seventy-one and one-third cents per

mile. During the same quarter of 1920

it was eighty-seven cents per mile.





 





 





DENIES THAT BORER CAN WIPE

OUT CORN. .



IT will be a long fight and a hard

one to defend the corn crop of





America against the European corn

borer, but no introduced insect pest





has ever destroyed any important ag?





 





riculture] industry in America}? says

.W. R. Walton, entomologist in charge

of insect investigations for the United

States.





Broken Tassels Are First Sign.



The borer, Mr. Walton says, may be

long present before it is discovered.

At first it attacks only the tassel and

upper portions of the stalk, doing but

slight damage. Becoming numerous,





it” works downward, boring first into





ears and later into the rootstalks.



In corn fields where they have been

present for ten years, borers occasion

direct loss of about 2.5 per cent: of all

kernels on all ears, and by boring into

the plant’s digestive system, they

further decrease the yield and quality





of the crop. In no case, Mr. Walton

continues, has the borer as yet wiped

out whole crops of field corn. He can

estimate no greater possible loss than

seven per cent, a disastrous loss, but

no more sensational than the ten per

cent wheat loss caused by Hessian fly.



Native to central Europe and Asia,

the borer is believed to have come to

this country on materials imported by

Massachusetts broom factories. It

was first discovered near Boston in

1917, and now operates in an area (if

not less than 7,500 square miles in

Canada, Massachusetts and New York;

in one township of Pennsylvania, and

in four of the lake counties of Ohio.



The trouble takes start in a pretty

twilight-flying moth which lays around

four hundred clustered eggs on the

leaves of plants to be attacked. Within

a week, the eggs hatch out the borer

caterpillars of prodigious appetite. Bor-

ers stuff themselves so industriously

during their six weeks of life that they

have to shed their skin six times.

Then comes a cocoon-stage, lasting for

two weeks, and then the moth again.

Control is by Mashing- and Boiling.



No way has been found to poison

them, and government entomologists

now on the continent have as yet to

find an “enemy insect” worth import-

ing. The weak point in the borer’s

way of life lies in its wintering over

as a caterpillar in’ a place bored out

for itself in the corn plant. Control,

therefore, is by mashing or scalding

the fodder in special mashers and

steamers. While expensive, and nec-

essary only where the pest is rampant

this method has proved effective.





 





GROWERS' DRAFTS TO BE REDIS-

COUNTED.





 





A RULING was recently made by

the Federal Reserve Board to the

effect that growers’ drafts accepted by

cooperative marketing associations

should be classed, if the proceeds are

to be used for an agricultural purpose,

as agricultural paper eligible for redis-

count at Federal Reserve banks. Sec-

retary of Agriculture Wallace says he

regards this ruling to be one of im-

portance which should result in mak-

ing bank credit more available for

farm use. ,

This ruling was made in a. case





where members of a. tobacco growers’ .





cooperative marketing association

drew ‘ drafts upon the association

which was acting as their agent only

in the sale of theirtobacco. The. drafts

were accepted ' ‘

by the association and »,





.the Federal Reserve Board was then

called upon to decide whether .the

draft should be classed as agricultur-

al paper eligible for rediscotmt at Fed-

eral Reserve banks with a maturity

up to six months, or should be classed

as commercial paper eligible for redls.

count only when its maturity date is

not in excess of ninety days: The board

ruled that the drafts should be classed

as agricultural paper. .



It is the belief of department of ag-

riculture specialists that the method

employed by the tobacco growers’ as-

sociation could be employed by other

cooperative associations, when used in

connection with government licenses

warehouse receipts. Secretary Wallace

says there is a growing tendency on

the part of bankers to require: such.

warehouse receipts when making loans

based on agricultural products.





A MILK WAR.





 





RGANIZED milk producers of

Maryland and Virginia and the on

ganized dealers of Washington are en-

gaged in a milk war. The dealers





, started the strike by refusing to buy





milk through the producers’ associa-

tion and the producers promptly cut

off their supply. Milk is being ship-

ped in from West Virginia, New York

and other sources, but the city health

regulations are very strict and if ap~

plied as rigidly to the milk from dis-

tant points as they are to the product

of near-by dairies, there bids fair to be

much trouble developed over this milk

supply from distant points. The pro-

ducers claim that the Washington

dealers are trying to destroy their or-

ganization.





 





M. A. C .SHORT COURSES ARE

STARTED.





 





lRST of this winter's series of sped



cial short courses in agriculture

opened at M. A. C. on Monday, Octo«

ber 31, when the men who will be at

the college for sixteen weeks register<

ed. Administration has been placed in

the hands of E. B. Hill, who replaces

A. M. Berridge. Mr. Hill has acted as

'secretary to Dean R. S. Shaw for about

a year.



Other courses listed number more

than a dozen. In addition to the six-

teen weeks' general course, these are

scheduled: Truck and tractor, four

weeks, November .28-December 23;

cow-testing and dairy barn manage-

ment, two weeks, December 5-Decem‘

fensssnvme THE PAINT. BRUS‘H.





 





W‘E have seen brushes many times

,. in the basement, the granary, or

Some other outbuilding standing in an

old paint pail containing a small quan-

tity of linseed oil. A tough skin has

formed around the brushes over the

.top of the oil. When you desire to

use one of these brushes, you pull it

.out and find the bottom of the bristles

bent to one side and held together by





paint which has settled to the bottom_





of the vessel.



This can easily be avoided. Simply

suspend the brush in the pail and do

, .not allow it to rest upon the bottom.

This may be done by boring a hole

through the handle of the brush and

insert a wire which has been cut long

enough to extend across the top of the

pail. Several brushes may be placed

on the same piece of wire; then pour

sufficient linseed oil in the can to cov-

er the bristles.





‘STORING THE SEED CORN.





 





VERCONFIDENCE may shorten

next year’s corn crop. Many farm-

ers are placing full confidence in the

long season and the comparatively

mild fall to get 'the seed corn for next

year in perfect condition. They are

taking a chance. It is not safe to de—

pend on outSide curing. Less risk will

be taken if the corn is placed by the

kitchen stove, in some room with arti—

ficial heat, or in a warm ventilated

attic. This will remove .the moisture

before freezing weather. Corn so hand-

led is certain to show a high germinat-

ing test next spring. Freezing has

veryelittle effect on the germ of the

kernels after the ear is once well

dried. Remember that it only takes

tWO hundred ears to plant a ten-acre

field and that a single dead ear is sure

. to mean a considerable loss.





MINERS TO TURN FARMERS.





 





OPPER mining is in a very bad

way and hence the copper country

of Michigan is economically not in a

happy frame of mind. The board of

supervisors of Houghton county recent-

ly engaged the services of the Stevens

"Corporation of New York, to make an

industrial survey with a view to as-

certaining if there be any new indus-

tries that may be introduced to relieve

the present situation. The report of

this survey was recently presented to

the supervisors. Various possibilities

are considered, and the development of

agriculture is given a prominent place

~ among them. “Without question,” says

- the report, as reviewed in the Calumet

News, the copper country will grow

rapidly as a farming community and

the development in northern VViscon-

sin and Minnesota should be duplicat-

ed. This development would be great-

rly aided by the development of indus-

tries utilizing farm products, such as

leather tanning, wood manufactures,

creameries, etc.” The copper country

\is the most northerly agricultural sec—

, tion ‘of‘ the state, yet its soil and cli-

.matic conditions are favorable to agri-

culture—CHASE.

and glazing—has furnished data that

It will then contain the largest amount

of digestible food constituents.



In a recent experiment, five varie-

ties of enSilage corn were used, the

weight or“yields per acre being taken

at various periods, and the material

analyzed. The results clearly showed

that there \is a continuous and marked

increase in the amount or dry matter

(which constitutes the real feeding

value of the material) between the tas~

seling and glazin periods. This in-

crease amounted to two tons, 831

pounds per acre. One ton of corn at

the latter period contained nearly

twice as much food material as a ton

harvested in the tasseling period.



It may be asked, has the corn dete-

riorated or lost in digestibility by be-

ing allowed to come to the glazing

that there is no marked decrease In

digestibility until the corn has passed

the glazing condition. In fact, results

of experiments show that there is an

increase of one hundred and fifty~three

pounds per ton and approximately

3,000 pounds per acre of digestible food

constituents stored up by the corn

crop during the five weeks that elapse

usually between taSSeling and glazing.



It may not be possible every season





to bring the corn to the glazing condi- .





tion before danger of frost, but, if nec-

essary, it will be well to run a little

risk in this matter, as frosted corn, if

at once ensilaged, suffers no deteriora-

tion. If from freezing it has become

too dry, water may be run into the silo

while being filled, so that the material

may pack well—E. G.

LAMBERTVILLE RUBBER COMPANY

Lambertville, New Jersey





’0





, Rubbcrlbobrem'
C‘ a result of the careful experi-



ments at Washington. we are



now able to state definitely just

how the bees oontn’ve to live over win-

ter, how they turn their stoma-up hon-

ey into heat, and the most desirable

temperature and conditions of winter-

ing. Briefly it may be said that as

soon as the temperature surrounding

the bees falls below fifty-seven degrees

they will begin to draw closer togeth-

er and form a cluster. They form

themselves into a hollow sphere which

isso closely constructed as to retain

heat, even when the surrounding air is

fifty or sixty degrees lower in temper-

awttiu. As the interior of the hive is

occupied by combs that have only

about a quarter of an inch beespace

between them, the cluster is formed

to include whatever portion of these

combs run through it, and the bees

crawl into the empty cells on the edge

of the cluster to prevent the heat from

escaping at this point. They cluster

where the combs are well filled with

honey, and gradually consume it as

the cluster moves upwards.



The cluster appears to be motionless

when one has a chance to see it, but if

one watches closely there will be a

movement every little while. A bee

from within the cluster, having “warm-

ed up," as we should say, pushes

through the solid wall of bees, turns

round, and takes. her place on the out

side, where she becomes one of the in-

sulators in her turn. The position of

the bees exactly resembles those of the

shin 'rles on a roof, each bee covering

with hc1 abdomen the head and thorax

ot' the bee immediately underneath. In-

side this hollow ball, a number of

bees are always occupied in making

heat by rubbing their legs, by fanning

with their wings and other activities.

Thus the fuel in the honey is trans-

formed into heat through muscular en-

ergy, exactly the same as a man get-

ting warm by running.



Bees me cold- blooded, and as they

do no hibernate like flies and most oth-





row Bees. Keep ’Warm: in "





Some Practical Saggeflzom on C old Mower Protection





By H. W. Sanders





er insects, they are obliged to keep up

their heat in this manner, and it is to

this cause that we may trace the

“hoarding’ instinct," the operation of

which makes the honey-bee of use to

man, for their existence depends en-

tirely upon their ability to accumu-

late sufficient stores to survive the

long winter. ’





The buzzing that we hear when close

to the hive is a good indication of the

welfare of the bees. When it is quiet

and so low as to be hardly heard it

means that the bees are so comfort-

able that they need only generate a

small amount of heat. When it is loud

and restless it means trouble—and ev-

ery beekeeper knows that the colOnies

that die are those that were noisy dur-

ing the portion of the winter before

they actually expired. It is a wonder-

ful thing that when a colony does die,

that the life of the queen is prolonged

to the last, and we have had hives

that came through to spring with only

the queen and~a mere handful of bees.





The life of the bees in winter has

been well likened to the fire in a stove.

When we close the draft so that it

burns slowly we get a fire that lasts a

long time, but when the drafts are op-

ened, there is a strong heat, and soon

the fire has burned out. The bees are

the stove and the honey the coal, and

if conditions are such that they con-

sume their honey very slowly, they are

quiet, and likely to come out in spring





well and hearty, but if anything is

present that causes them to become

noisy, they “burn out” quicker and die.





Now by controlling these conditions

that arouse the bees to activity we can

prevent to a great extent winter loss-

es. The first matter to claim our at-

tention is temperature.' To get the air

surrounding the bees as near fifty—sev-

en degrees as possible, whilst still sup—

plying fresh. air, is not such an easy

problem, and two ways have been

found in practice to accomplish this.

The first is to place the bees in a cel-

lar where the temperature is from

forty to fifty degrees (the best temper-

ature in any one case depending on

the‘moisture in the air). The bees

keep up their fifty-seven inside the

cluster, and the slight draft induced by

convection gives them the fresh air

they need. If the cellar is much higher

than fifty degrees the bees will get

uneasy for lack of fresh air, and will

come out of the hives and die on the

floor in great numbers.





The second method of temperature

control, is to pack the hives outdoors

on their summer stands, placing pack-

ing all around them so that the heat

generated inside the hive can be kept

from escaping. A small entrance gives

all the ventilation required. This pack-

ing should be at least from four to six

inches thick, and may consist of saw-

dust, dry leaves, planer shavings, ex

oelsior, cork, or other dry insulation.





 





A colony of bees need about the same

treatment as a block of ice that is to

be packed for summer use.



With these two conditions right—4

temperature and ventilation—o. strong

colony of bees with plenty of atoms of

good quality, should be able to pull

through. There are, however; one or

two other possible causes that may

stir the bees up to undesirable activity.

One of these is mice. These little

pests will sometimes get into a hive in

the fall, after the days have become

cool enough to prevent the bees from

stinging them to death, and there they

will make their home all winter, eat-

ing the honey and wax, ruining the

combs by gnawing long runways

through, and stirring .up the boss to

such activity that they die of over‘

work and dysentery before spring.



In a bee cellar it is necessary to 001111

bat mice all the time. Have the cellar

~ Bees can only discharge their feces

whilst on the wing, and so they have

to accumulate all the winter’s rosii

dues of their food till they can get a

flight. The advocates of outdoor win-

tering insist that the occasional days

that occur in winter. or early spring

are a great benefit to the bees on this

account. Whether the disadvantage

and expense of packing onset this is

a matter of opinion. Personally we

have always had such good success in

cellar wintering that We do not feel

disposed to change.



If the food is of poor quality, these,

accumulations make the bees uneasy

a disquieting cause, so that colonies

How to Prevent Colds 1n Poultry





C 0152': Wézcfi are Common at 1&2; 72mg of Year Cm¢ Poultry Profit;

By R. [(3. Kirby





try flocks are caused by simple



colds which are neglected and

soon bring on roup, bronchitis and var-

ious respiratory troubles. Many poul-

trymen have to spend time in trying

to cure such infections when the work

of prevention would be much more

economical.



Here are some of the simple meth-

ods of keeping a flock free from colds.

Eliminate the mites and lice. Those

pests devitalize poultry and make them

less resistant to colds. Undoubtedly

tuberculosis is more prevalent in flocks

where the hens are steadily drained of

their blood by mites and their skin is

constantly irritated by lice.



Dusty litter is another cause of

colds. If the poultry house has a floor

covered with garden loam it means

that much 01‘ the soil will turn to dust

in the Winter and it will be kicked

into the air by the scratching of the

birds. This dust settles all over the

poultry house and the air is always un-

clean, making it unhealthful for both

I the hensnnd their caretakers. .



Sand and not garden loam is neces-

sary if any dirt is used on the poultry

house floor. If sand can not be ob

tained easily, I believe it is better to

have a. cement or board floor'in the

poultry house and cover that with a

deep straw litter; -" but" use no soil.





q uARGE numbei of losses in poul-





Fresh straw can occasionally be added

as the old litter becomes packed down.

All of the old litter should be removed

when it becomes damp, tough and

dirty and observation proves it is unfit

scratching material. The numbei of

birds in the house will influence the

condition of the litter. Overciowding

either in the corners of the house or

011 the roosts will cause the birds to

become overheated. Then they are

chilled on going out on the cold ground

and this causes colds.



Young stock are sometimes slow in

learning to roost and crowd each night

in groups in the corners of the houses.

it pays to provide ample roosting

space and teach all the birds to roost.

Early roosting may cause an occasion-

al crooked breast, but that condition

will not happen often in vigorous stock

and a few crooked breasts will cause

less loss than an epidemic of colds and

roup. ~



To watch for the beginning of colds,

fasten the poultry in their houses at

night. The next morning open the

dour a short distance, which will 3.1-4

low the flock to come out slbwly.,

Watch 4111911 heads to see if 1119111 are;

any molten eyes. Note the feathers





around the neck to see if they are

smeared with the secretion which the

bird has endeavored to remove from‘

its sore eye. If any birds are slow

about coming out, look them over thor-

oughly. This quick inspection will 10-

cate any colds that may be just begin-

ning. Such cases can be isolated and

treated at once.





At nigh-t walk along the roosts. Lis-

ten for hard breathing which may be

due to colds or bronchitis. Colds of

any kind can spread through a flock

and any birds that show signs of ill-

ness must be removed. Poultry dis-

eases can be spread rapidly through

the medium of the drinking water. It

'pays to color the water a. deep red

with permanganate of potassium if

many colds seem to be starting in the

flock. This disinfectant will help to

stop the trouble. When it is used the

hens must have no other source of wa-

ter supply or they will not touch the

red water. It does not pay to use the

permanganate unless it is quite neces-

sary. as the hens should drink plenty

of clean wate1 to keep them in a. heal.-

thy laying condition. ‘





Another way to prevent acids is to





 





kill a. bird that is seriously ill With





 





roup and burn or bury the carcass

deeply. Often breeders try to doctor

a bad case with roup cures and after

much hard work the bird has to be

killed. Or the bird appears about well

and is turned loose with the flock, only

to spread the contagion to other birds.

Some cases can be cured but they are

a great risk on the premises. By giv«

ing the birds frequent health inspec<

tions it is usually possible to prevent

colds and roup and this is better than

trying to make cures.



Poultry houses are fmquent causes

of colds. Damp floors, leaky roofs,

draughty houses or the lack of ventila-

tion will cause sick birds. Removing

those causes is a great help in keeping

the flock healthy The Open-front house

has been proven ‘to be a dry house,

while the closed house will show damp»

ness all ovex the walls and windows.

The damp house is a cold house. Birds

can stand a lot of cold, but dampness

is bad fo1 them. The cold draughts

which blow the feathers out and ex-

pose the warm body also cause a chill-

ing that may result in colds. The hens

are tropical birds and their dislike of

cold winds is proven by the appear-

ance of the range on a cold Windy





day. The bone will be out of sight '

T is an undeniable fact that many



farms are hedged in by an impen-

prnamental and most injurious to the

walue of l the farm upon which they

trespass.



Is it any wonder that our city

Fences about the farm, whether

along the road or enclosing fields

should be kept free from weeds and

unnecessary brush. Especially on the:

Progressive, modern appearing farms

are paved and the

Eventually, this means

that these jungle-like

the farmer residing

himself in the back—

ists from the city lead

the good roads follow

and with the improv

prosperity for the farms along them

and an increasing desire to live in that

community.



Community prosperity brings farm

FORD TO TRY SCIENTIFIC FOR-

says Mr. E. G. Kings-

desired to determine

just what can be done

in good condition to continue its

growth toward maturity. Mr. Kings-





ford sounds a note of warning that, if

such methods are not adopted gener-

ally, wood-using industries will find

themselves handicapped later on for

lack of raw material. It is hoped that

CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES SELL

WELL.





 





R C. W. WAID, vegetable market-



ing specialist for the Ohio Farm

Bureau Federation, reports a strong

demand in Ohio for Michigan certified

potato seed, particularly Petoskey Gol-

den Russett. The State Farm Bureau

seed department is now assisting the

members of the Michigan Potato Pro-

ducers’ Association who grow certified

rseed potatoes in disposing of their

ismcks in and. out of the state.

Pennsylvania is another state with a

liking for Michigan certified seed po

tatoes. It is said that experiment sta—

certified seed potatoes of certain varie-

ties to be very well adapted to Penn-

sylvania conditions and are superior

to Maine, New York and western seed

seed department with the Idaho Grimm

Growers’ Association of Blackfoot, 1d,».~

ho, virtually moves into Michigan that

tiny area of the United States which

produces most of the world’s supply of

genuine Grimm alfalfa seed, says the

farm bureau, in pointing out that here-

after Michigan farmers are practicalLy

assured of a constant supply 01‘ genu-

ine Grimm alfalfa. Most of Michigan’s

Grimm alfalfa seed comes from the

nmthwest.



The Idaho Glimm growers at Black

1',oot Idaho, are a unique organization.

Their territory is a little patch of Ida-

ho about five miles wide by perhaps

twenty-five miles long. In this rather

sparsely settled area. the vast majority

of the world’s supply of genuine Grimm

alfalfa seed is grown, it is said. The

Idaho Association is represented east

of the Mississippi by R. V. Tanner, of

East Lansing, Michigan. He has his

quarters in the State Farm Bureau of-

fices at Lansing. The State Farm Bu-

reau is to assist its members and those

of other middle-west farm bureaus in

securing Idaho seed.

ple. Have uniformity of length. num-

ber of rows and shape.



One should remember the value of

first impressions If the sample is uni

form, shows geod type, and adaptation

it is sure to be seriously considered,

but if it is oil in any of those points

it will be soon placed in the also-ran

class."



In summing up, We might say, select

ten ears which are of the proper size

to be well adapted to your region, as

near equal in length as possible».—

equal in «number of rows, cylindrical

or slightly tapering, and which are

straight rowed and well filled. Such

a sample is sure to be considered with

the winners.



Yield.



If your sample passes the show

standards then the judges are ready to

giVe it its next test, which probably

will be its yielding possibilities.



Yield is indicated by size of canaud

length and shape of kernel. Do not

select a type that is too deep kerneled.

Beware 'of the deep narrow or “shoe-

pegged” kernels. Stay to the wedge-

shaped, or better yet, the keystone

type of kernel which carries its breadth

well down toward the tip of the kernel.

Discard the broad-kerneled ears as

these usually mean considerable waste

places on the ear which naturally in-

dicates a deficiency in yielding capa-

city. It is wise to maintain uniform-

ity of kernels and to discard ears that

carry irregular kernels excepting on

butts and tips.



Caution.

Do not remove kernels from the ears





 





 





as this is against the rules of the show

and if done would cause your sample

to be disqualified.



The circumference of the ear should

be three-fourths to four-fifths of its





length when measured one—third the





way from the butt. In studying the

circumference one should always con-

'sider the cob. Very often a. large cob

makes the large circumference and

large cobs are discriminated against.

Breeding Points.



Uniformity of cars and kernel, and

shape of car are, of course, taken into

consideration under the head of breed-

ing which, on a. score card, is given

about thirty-five out of the possible

one hundred points. We have already

mentioned these points so will pass on.



Of the so—called finer breeding points

color ranks first, in the opinion of a

great many judges. The cars should

be of uniform color and characteristic

of the variety. A red tint. to kernels of

yellow corn is permissible and allow—

ances are usually made for a purplish

tint on white corn. The color should

be bright and lustrous. All cobs should

be of one color, namely, deep red in

case of yellow corn, and white if the

exhibit is of white corn. Any mixture

is certain to hurt the standing of the

sample so be careful in your selection.



Seed Condition.



These samples showing good breed-

ing, yield, and adaptation will next

quite likely be given the test of con-

dition. This is very important for no‘

seed is good seed unless it will grow.



One of the first things to be consid-

ered under the topic of condition is

the germ which is the embryo of

the plant. If the corn is much injured

it is almost. certain to. show in the

germ because it is the most sensitive

and delicate part .of the kernel. The

germ should be large, extending well

over the face of the kernel, should be

bright in color, free from..w,ifinkle§ and





blisters and when out crosswise should





be a. light creamy color "and display a per bushel M“

slightly elastic texture under the pres-

sure of a‘knit‘e blade.



The kernelsand cob should be free

from excessive moisture, mould and

disease? ‘Should not Show immaturity,

i. e., kernels should be plump, lustrous

color, hard endosperm, translucent,

hard, brittle, free of wrinkles or blis-

ters. Kernels should break free from

cob, no chaff adhering to kernel. No





. tip caps breaking off. The cob should ,





be firm, with bright lively color.



The ten ears selected should be uni-

form in length. in circumference, in

number of rows, and conform to the

same general type. Each ear should

carry good types of kernels which are

uniformly well placed. Each ear should

be of a good bright, healthy appear-

ance and pleasing to the eye in every

respect in so far as is possible.



In Region No. 1 there isva great deal

of Flint Corn grown and Michigan

growers should do very well in this

class. , >



Remember that there are ten-ear

classes of Yellow Dent, White Dent

and Flint corn, and singleear classes

for each region. Pick out an out—

standingly good car for your entry in

this class and then select ten more

cars that conform as closely as possi-

ble to the type represented by the sin-

gle ear.



The farm cmps department of the



college and the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Association are cooperating

with Michigan farmers with the aim

in view to place Michigan on record as

an A-l corn state. Look over your corn,

make your selections and then care-

fui-ly wrap each in paper, box well, and

mail it to the writer at East Lansing,

Michigan, who will see that it is enter-

ed at the show and properly cared for,

after which‘it will be returned to be

entered at the Winter State Show.

Call on Prof. J. F. Cox or R. J. Dun-

can, East Lansing, for suggestions.

‘They will be pleased to offer every

possible service. By all means he sure

to have your sample in our hands by

November 15.



Farmers having a good quality of

small grains may forward a represent-

ative sample to the writer and infor-

mation as to further procedure will be

promptly forwarded. Last year Mich~

igan made a wonderful record in the

wheat and rye classes and we want to

do our level best this year and add

some corn prizes to our list, too.



Remember that this is a farmers’

show and Michigan farmers should

line up and put it across. It is our

opportunity to demonstrate the high

standards of Michigan’s farmers and

the value of Michigan farms.

, N article in your issue of Sep-

titled

Without a Hoe,” has prompted me to

relate my own experience.



; Some six years ago I noticed a few

patches of quack grass had worked

their way into one of my fields from

the highway. If Lhad the same condi-

tion to contend with now I would dig

them early in the spring when the

ground is soft, and burn the roots It

would have taken less than a day, and

would have saved me considerable

bother and expense. A peison can dig

a lot of quack grass in a day if it is

just in patches. I had had no previous

experience, however, so I tried killing

it with a hoe and then tried pulling





.it. Then I seeded the piece to clover





and let it





My first success was three years ago, ‘

'when I set a somewhat infected piece





to raspberries, and raised a crop of

cucumbers between the rows. The cul- i





tivation was very through and both the

berry plants and cucumbers made a

vigorous growth. I do not remember

occurred to me that I had not seen‘





any in that piece for a long time, and





I began to wonder just what I had,





done to destroy it.





So I plowed up my clover

next spring with a determination that

in the fall there would not be a spear

left.



I planted the field to silage corn,

hilling it so I could cultivate it both

ways and hand-hoe it. Our corn grew

very high with dots of leaves for shade





,and we cultivated and hoed continual-

ly. But when the corn was in the silo '

_ and we could look over





the field, I

could not see that we had hurt the

quack grass much. I sowed rye imme-

diatgly to be plowed under in the

spring for another crop of silage corn.

My ‘enthusiasm about getting rid of

the pest was getting pretty well down,

but I put in half a day digging outly-

ing patches, and made uplmy mind to

do the best I could with the cultivator

and let the hoeing go. —

We cultivated before the corn was

up, and three times more as rapidly as

seemed advisable. and then rose bugs,

ACCES§ TO HIGHWAY. .





There was a drain put through our

farm lately which cuts our farm in two.

The drain was lot as a drain and pub-

lic highway. The bridges are fifty-five

inches from the water. Is the tow}

ship supposed to give me a roadway

or build a bridge to give me access to





my to it ?—-—-P. K.



The statute expressly requires the

highway commissioner to furnish the

bridge in the first instance, but the

owner must maintain it after that. In

the absence of statute there is no duty

by the public to provide the access of

private owners to the highwayfil. R.





CATTLE KILLED ON TRACK.





If a horse breaks out of pasture at

night and stray! onto railroad tracks

and gets k’illed, who loses? There are

go Bcattle guards at the crossing—C.





If the horse was killed on the rail-

road track inside the railway private

right-of-way, by which is meant out-

side of the highway, the railroad com—

pany is liable, there being no cattle

guards. But if the horse was killed

in the highway, the fact that there

were no cattle guards is immaterial.

MAIL CARRIERS.





Can a. mail carrier be compelled to

drive a half mile down and back from

corners where there are four families

living on said half—mile? I’ve heard

We could make him drive past here.

Before routes were changed, this was

the main road he traveled. What is

the law concerning this?—-E. F. P.





The mail routes and the duties of

the mail carriers are entirely matters

of post office control. The only rem-

edy is through the assistant postmas-

ter-general having that matter in

charge, and he is moved only by con-

siderations of general convenience, the

facilities of the postal service, and the

general demand in the community. See

the local postmaster.——J. R. R.





HUNGARIAN HAY FOR SHEEP.





Is Hungarian hay good for sheep? I

have some Hungarian hay and alfalfa

hay, and corn fodder. If these three

kinds of feed can be fed daily, will my

sheep need any grain this winter.—~J.





If Hungarian hay was not allowed to

get too ripe before it was cut, it is

good feed for any kind of live stock.

Some people leave it until the seed is

well formed before they cut it, and if

fed in too large quantities it acts as a

diarrhetlc. If this plant, however, is

cut when it is in bloom or before the

seeds are ripe and well cared, it can

be fed to any kind of stock and they

like it. ‘



My advice would be to manage to

feed sheep roughage three times a day

and you can feed some of the alfalfa,

corn fodder and Hungarian hay .each

day or, if you only feed twice a day,

you can feed alfalfa once a day, and

one day feed corn fodder and the next

day feed the Hungarian grass. Possi-

bly you may have to use a little judg-

ment in feeding as they may want so

much alfalfa, preferring it to the corn

fodder that they will eat very little‘ of

the corn fodder. .



It is always better to feed some

grain 0in connection with roughage to

any kind of stock and it is just as eco-

nomical as it is to try to get them

through on roughage alone because, if

1012 do not feed grain you must feed

more roughage. My advice would_be

to feed oats and bran mixed, equal

‘parts, and feed about three or four

pounds of grain daily per one thou

sand pounds live weight of shoepifor

I am interested in soy-beans and

cowpeas for building up the soil. Can

you tell me which isthe earliest soy-

bean and cowpea and where would I

be able to purchase seed ?——C. H. W.





The Ogemaw is the earliest matur-

ing variety of soy-beans, but due to its

very early maturity is not so high a.

yielder as some of the medium early

maturing varieties, as the Manchu, Ito

San, and Black Eyebrow... In a three-

year test at the experiment station,

Manchu yielded an average of 2.87

tons of air dry hay per acre, while the

Ogemaw only yielded 1.14 tons per

acre. '



Very late maturing varieties are not

adapted. The Mammoth Yellow, 3. late

one, only yielded 1.01 tons of hay per

acre in the above mentioned test.



As to seed production, the Manchu

is considered one of the best yielders.

Manchu seed may be secured from the

seed department of the State Farm

Bureau, 221 North Cedar Street, Lan-

sing, Michigan, or from the leading

seed companies in the stated—C. R. M.





ALFALFA AFTER CORN.





We propose to raise a crop of alfalfa

on a small piece of ground (three

acres) and we would like to have your

advice on the best method to get a

good ca ch. A crop of corn was taken

off the eld this fad—H. C. G.





I do not think it advisable to plow

this land at all. It can be prepared in

the spring with a disk honor and a

springtooth barrow and make a better

seed-bed than if plowed in the spring.

If, however, the corn stubble prevents

the preparation in this way, and the

field is to be plowed, I would advise

plowing it this fall so as to let it settle

over the winter. Sow the field to bar-

ley or oats as early in the spring as

possible and at the same time seed to

alfalfa. A bushel of cats or a. bushel

of barley is better than more, so as

not to shade the land too much. If an

early drought should occur next season

it would be better to cut the oats or

barley for hay so as to give the alfalfa

entire possession of the field. Ten or

twelve pounds of alfalfa seed per acre

ought to he sufllcient. To insure a

good stand and a continuous growth

of alfalfa, you oughb to lime this field,

using at least a ton (and two tons

would be better), of ground limestone.

This ought to be spread on the surface

and ham-owed in. Do not plow it down.

When you sow the cats or barley and

the alfalfa, use- 250 pounds of good

commercial fertilizer.-—C. C. L.





TERMS AND PROOF OF CONTRACT. ‘





Last fall a book agent came‘this

way taking orders for a, county atlas.

At that time he said they would be

$12 and upon delivery he states that.

they are $15. Do I have to take the

book ?——W. R.





If the terms of the contract have

been altered since signing it, without

the approval of the party signing it,

the. contract is thereby made void. It

the contract was signed by the party

in the form it now appears, the Signer

could not avoid its effect by showing

that he did not so understand it at

the time he signed it, unless he can

also show that he was induced by the

fraudulent acts of representations of

the opposite party or his agent, to sign

it as written, or by representing it to,

be different_than'it was. If there was

such fraud the contract may be avoid.

LIKES SOY~BEANS.





 





AFTER two years of raising soy-



beans, I can’t understand why

there are so few farmers raising them.

I don’t know of a better crop to sow

if your meadows fail then soy-beans,

Considering the good they do to the

soil by increasing nitrogen in same.

Off two acres of ground (not good«

ground) we raised eight loads of feed,

threshed enough beans to keep some





for next season, fed ‘balance to milch

cows with better results than we could

ever expect from millet.



We sow it about the middle of June

after potato crop, planting in rows

twenty-eight inches apart, with a grain

drill, and about three peeks to an

acre. The second year on the same

piece of ground the roots were full of

nodules the size of a marble—A. ZIM-

BACK TO THE LAND.





 





MICHIGAN agriculture, after suf-

fering many setbacks during the

reconstruction period following the

war, when many of its best farmers

were. drawn to the factories in the cit—

ies, now appears to be well on the road

to recovery. The real estate market

is the usual barometer to reflect such

transitions and in western Michigan

there are distinct signs that the back-

to-the-farm movement is getting under

motion.

Inquiry for farm/lands in western

and northern Michigan is setting a rec-

ord, according to the Western Michi-

gan Development Bureau, which has

received communications from more

than seven hundred persons in the

last three months, who are seeking

farms from small developed tracts to

large undeveloped ranChes of three

thousand or more acres.



Many of these inquiries are coming

from men who left the farm a few

years ago to work in the factories.

.Since the industrial depression set in,

their eyes have been turned back to

the soil and the desire to again enjoy

its freedom and independence has

prompted them to seek cheap but fer-

tile farming lands—R.

GAN sou. SURVEY.





 





 





HAT the proposed soil survey of



Michigan be broadened so as to

include information concerning cli-

matic, drainage, topography and crop-

piing condition, in order to “open Mich-

igan’s idle acres to the settler at a

profit to him and to the state,” was

recommended in the report presented

this week by the subcommittee headed

by J. A. Doelle, of the State Depart-

ment of Agriculture, to the survey

congress, of which L. Whitney Wat-

kins is chairman. '



The report suggests that the State



- Department of Agriculture be empow-

ered to undertake the survey, in turn

placing its direction “with the agent

which is determined most fitted by

breadth of vision, accumulated applic-

able information and trained opera-

tives.” It refers to the survey act

passed by the legislature in 1917 and

favors consideration of the plans made

at that time.



Lands will be classified as (1) agri-

cultural; (2) non-agricultural; (3)

grazing; (4) forests; (5) fur farms;

(6) swamps capable of reclamation for

agricultural or industrial purposes,

and (7) marl.



The agricultural sections are to be

considered further as to their present

.cover, cost of clearing where neces-

sary, special crops and a comparison





same latitude in other parts of the

state. The comparison will include a

consideration ‘of good and bad soil

management on similar types of soil.



“Keeping in mind that the ultimate





soil types and their crop producing

value,” says the report, “but also the

type of cropping and management





soil which the survey is to ascertain,





fertilizer demonstration plats be es-

tablished on the soil types in various

latitudes of the state. It should be

planned to build up the agricultural

tradition of the section by keeping

accurate record of the climatic factors,

the yields and the costs elf crops grown

on these plats, so that the settler may

. have access to these records and to

the type of cropping best adapted to





f making his home ”

f 1 “All the forces of the University of

f Michigan, Michigan Agricultural Col-

; lege, State Department of Agriculture

and the State Department of Conser-

vation should be marshalled to the

conduct oi this survey to best serve

the agriculturist, the forester, the re-

clamationist and the conservationist

and get Michigan’s idle acres produc‘

ing for the state as rapidly as possible.

A pain-was mmuu;mm~

to be quiet in: passing through. The

empty, though one. apparently had

been occupied Was Harriet. San-tome

with her father? . .



He went on into the observation car.

The cardroom was filled with players,

and he stood an instant at the door

looking them over, but “Hillward” was

not among them, and he saw no one

Whom he felt could possibly be one of

“them.” In the observation-room, the

case was the same; a few men and

women passengers here were reading

or talking. Glancing on past. them

through the glass door at the end of

the car, he saw Harriet Santoine stand-

ing alone on the observation platform.

The giri did not see him; her back

was toward the car. As he went out

onto the platform and the sound of the

closing door came to her, she turned

to meet him.



She looked white and tired, and

faint gray shadows underneath .her

eyes showed where dark circles were

beginning to form.



“‘I am supposed to be resting," she

explained quietly, accepting him as

one who had the right to ask.



“Have you been watching all day?”



“With Dr. Sinclair, yes. Dr. Sin-

clair is going to take half the night

watch, and I am going to take the

other half. That is why I am supposed

to be lying down now to get ready for

it; but I could not sleep.”



“‘How is your father?” .



“Just the same; there may be no

change, Dr. Sinclair says, for days. It

seems all so sudden and Sir—terrible,

Mr. Eaton. You can hardly appreciate

how we feel about it Without knowing

Father. He was so good, so "strong,

so brave, so independent! And at the





same time somso dependent upon

those around him, because of his

blindness! He started out so handle





capped, and he has accomplished so

much, and—and it is so unjust that

there should have been such an attack

upon him."



Eaton, leaning againét the rail be-

side her and glancing at her, saw that

her lashes were wet, and his eyes

dropped as they caught hers.



“They have been investigating the

attack?”



“Yes; Donald—~Mr. Avery, you

know—and the conductor have been



working on it all day.”

Eaton looked; away from her, then

backagain rather strangely.



“Father could not have rung it; Dr.

Sinclair says that is impossible. So

its being rung shows that some one

was at the berth, sumo one must have;

seen father lying there and—and rung-

the bell, but did not tell any one about

father. That could hardly have been

an innocent person, Mr. Eaton.”



“Or a guilty one, Miss Santoine, or

he would not have rung the bell at

all.”



“I don’t know—I don’t understand

all it might mean. I have tried not to

think about anything but fatherg”



“Is that all they have learned?”



“No; they have found the weapon.”



“The weapon with which your father

was struck?”



“Yes; the. man who did it seems not

to have realized that the train was

stopped~~or at least that it would be

stopped for so long—and he threw it

off the train, thinking, I suppose, we

should be miles away from there by

morning. But the trainld'idn’t move,

and the snow didn’t cover it up, and:

“No, dear, no.r Harry, what has this

“Mr. Eaton?” Her gaze went won-

back again. “Why—why, Don! He

from the mmm mm Santoine

FIE-w . ,



"Step hi here. sir,” he filmed. “Sit

down, it you want. We’re far enough

firm the drowning-room not to disturb

Mr. Santosne.”



Eaton, seating himself in the corner

of the leather seat built against two

walls- of the room, and looking up, saw

that Avery had- come into the room

with them. The girl followed; With

her entrance into the room came to

him—not any sound from her or any-

thing which he could describe to him-

self as either audible or visual—~but a

strange sensation exhausted his breath

and stopped his wise for a. beat. To

be accused—even to be suspected-—

of the crime against Santoine, was to

have attention brought to him which——

with hm unsatisfactory accountof him-

self—threatened ugly complications.

Yet, at this moment of realization.

that did not fill his mim. Whether

his long dwelling close to death had

numbed him. to his own danger, how-

‘ever much more immediate it had be-

come, he could not know; probably he

had prepared himself so thoroughly,

had innured himself so to expect ar-

rest and imminent destruction, that

now his finding himself confronted

with accusers in itself failed to stir

new sensation; but till this day, he

had never imagined or been able to

prepare himself for accusation before



,one like Harriet Santoine; so, for a

moment, thought solely of himself was

a subcurremt. Of his conscious feel-





ings, the terror that she would be ,





brought to beiieVe with the others that

he had struck the blow against her

father was the most poignant.



Ear-riot Santoine was not locking at

him; but as she stood by the door, she

was gazing intently at Avery; and she

spoke first: ‘ ~



“I don’t believe it, Don!”



Eaton felt the warm blood flooding

his fame and his heart throb with grat-

itude toward her.



“You don’t believe it because you

don’t understand yet, can," Avery de~

cured. “We are going to make you

believe it by proving .to you it is

true." ,



Avery Pulled forward one of the

leather chairs for her to seat: herself

added. What the relations were be-

tween Harriet Sontoine and Avery he

did not know, but clearly they were

very. close; and it was equally clear

that Avery had noticed and disliked

the growing friendship between her

and Eaton. Eaton sensed now with a





certainty that left no doubt in his own i ‘





mind that as he himself had realized

only a moment before that his strong-

estfeeling was the desire to clear him-

self before Harriet Santoine, so Avery





now was realizing that—since some '

one on the train had certame made :

the attack on Santoine—he hoped he .





could prove before her that that per-

son was Eaton.



“Why" did you ring the bell in Mr.

Santoine’s berth?" Avery directed the

attack upon him suddenly.



“To call help,” Eaton answered.



Question and answer, Eaton realiz-

ed, had made some effect upon Harriet

Santoine, as he did not doubt Avery

intended they should; yet he could not

look toward her to learn exactly what

this effect was ‘but kept his eyes on





Avery.

“You had known, then, that he need-

ed help?”

“I knew it—saw it then, of course."

“When?”





“When I found him.”



“‘Found’ him?”



“Yes.”



“When was that?”



“When I went forwaid to look for

the conductor to ask him about taking

a walk on the roof of the cars.”



“You found him then~that way, the

way he was?”



“That way? Yes.”





“How?"

“How?” Eaton iterated. '

“Yes; how, Mr. Eaton, or Hillward,





or whatever your name is? How did

you find him? The curtains were op-

en, perhaps; you saw him as you went

by, eh?”



Eaton shook his head. “No; the cur-

tains weren’t open; they were closed.”



“Then why did you look in ?”



“I saw his hand in the aisle.”



“Go on.”



“When I came back it didn’t look

right to me; its position had not been

changed at all, and it hadn’t looked

right to me before. So I stopped and

touched it, and I found that it was

cold.”



“Then you looked into the berth?”



“Yes.”



“And having-1 looked in and seen Mr.

Santoine injured and lying as he was,

you did not call any one, you did not

bring help—you merely leaned across

I him and pushed the bell and went on

quickly out of the car before any one

could see you?”





“Yes; but I waited on the platform

61’ the next car to see that help did

come; and the conductor passed me,

and I knew that he and the porter

must find Mr. Santoine as they did.”



“Do you expect us to believe that

very peculiar action of yours was the

act of an innocent man?”



“If I had been guilty of the attack

on Mr. Slantoine, I’d not have stopped

or looked into the berth at all.”



“If you are innocent, you had, of

course, some reason for acting as you

did. Will you explain, what it was?”



“No, I cannot explain.”



With a look almost of triumph Avery

turned to Harriet Santoine, and Eaton

felt his flesh grow warm with grati-

tude again as he saw her meet Avery’s

look with no appearance of being con-

vinced.



“Mr, Eaton spoke to me about that,”

she said quietly.



“You mean he told you he was the

one who rang the bell ?”



“No; he told me we must not attach

too much importance to the ringing of

the bell in inquiring into the attack on

father."

did he, that the kind and Size of socks

he wears and carries in his traveling-

bag are very nearly the same ,as the

black sock in which the bar was wrap-

ped with which. your father was

struck?” '



“It was you, then, who took the sock

from my bag?” Eaton demanded.





>“It was the conductor, and I can

assure you, Mr. Eaton-Hillward, that





along with the one which was found in

the snow.”



“But the socks were not exactly the

same, were they?” Harriet Santoine

asked: ‘ .



Avery made a vexed gesture, and

turned to Connery. “Tell her the rest

of it,” he directed. -



Connery, who had remained stand-





ving back of the two chairs, moved





slightly forward. His responsibility in

connection with. the crime that had

been carried out on his train weighed

heavily on the conductor; he was worn

and nervous.



“Where shall I begin?” he asked of

Avery; he was looking not at the girl

but at Eaton.



“At the beginning,” Avery directed.



“Mr. Eaton, when you came to this

train, the gateman at Seattle called





. my attention to you,” Connery began.





“I didn’t attach enough importance, I

see now, to what he said; I ought to

have watched you closer and from the

first. Old Sammy has recognized men

with criminal records time and time

again. He’s got seven rewards for it.”



Eaton felt his pulses close with a

shock. “He recognized me?” he aéked

quietly.



“No, he didn’t; he couldn’t place

you,” Connery granted. “He couldn’t

tell whether you were somebody that

was ‘wanted’ or some one Well known

—-some one famous, maybe; but I

ought to have kept my eye on you be-

cause of that, from the very start

Now this morning you claim a tele-

gram meant for another man—a man

named Hillward, on this train, who

seems to be all right—that is, by his

answers and his account of himself he

seems to be exactly what he claims

to be.” .



“Did he read the telegram to you?”

Eaton asked. “It was in code. If it

was meant for him, he ought to be

able to read it.”



“No, he didn’t. Will you?”



Eaton halted while he recalled the

exact wording of the message. “No.”

Connery also pause-d. ~

“Is this all you have against me?”



Eaton asked. » -



“No; it’s not. Mr. Avery’s already

told you the next thing, and you’ve ad-

mitted it. But we’d already been able

by questioning the porter of this car

and the ones in front and back of it

to narrow down the time of the ring-

ing of Mr. Santoine’s hell not to quar-

ter-hours but to minutes; and to find

out that during those few minutes you

were the only one who passed through

the car. So there’s no use of my going

into that.” Connery paused and look-

ed to Avery and the girl. “You’ll wait

a minute, Mr. Avery; and you, Miss

Santoine. I won’t be long.”





He left the washroom, ,and the sound





of the closing of a door which came





to Eaton a half-minute later told that

he had gone out the front end of the

car.



As the three sat waiting in‘the wash--

room, no one spoke. Eaton, looking

past Avery,’ gazed cut the window at





' the bank of snow. Eaton understood





fully that the manner in which the evi-

dence against him was being present-





ed to him was not with any expecta-

tion that he could defend himself; Av-

‘ cry and ,Connery were obviously too

deemed their: settlement that 7»-

convince or fully. . But Eaton-lilting

derstood'this from the first. It was for





 





this reason he had not attempted to ‘

deny having rung Santoine’s bell, real- ,





izifig that if he denied it and it after-

wards was provedfhe would appear in

a- worse light than by his inability to

account for or assign a reason for'his

act.“ And he had proved right in this:

for the girl had not been~ convinced.

So now he comprehended that some-





thing far more convincing and'more ~





important was to come; but what that

could be, he could not guess.





As he glanced at her, he, saw her

sitting with hands clasped in her lap,

pale, and merely waiting. Avery, as

though impatient, had got up and gone

to the door, where he could look out

into the passage. From time to time

people had passed through theecar, but

no one had stopped at the washroom

door or looked in; the voices in the

washroom had not been raiSed, and

even if what was going on there could

have attracted momentary attention,

the instructions to .pass quickly

through the car would have prevented

any one from stopping to gratify his

curiosity. Eaton’s heart—beat quicken-

ed as, listening, he heard the car door

open and close again and footsteps,

coming to them along the aisle, which

he recOgnized 'as those of Conductor

Connery and some; one else with him.





Avery returned to his seat, as the

conductor appeared in the door of the

washroom followed by the Englishman

from Eaton’s car, Henry Standish.

Connery carried the sheet on which

he had written the questions he had

‘asked Eaton, and Eaton’s answers.



“What name were you using, Mr.

Eaton, when you came from Asia to





the United States?” the conductor de- '





manded.



“Eaton reflected, “My own,” he said.

“Philip D. Eaton.”



Connery brought the paper nearer to

the light of the window, running his

finger down it till he found the note

he wanted. “When I asked this after-

noon where you came from in Asia,

Mr. Eaton, you answered me

thing like this: You said you could

give me no address abroad; you had

been traveling most of the time; you'

could not be placed by inquiring at any

city or hotel; you came to Seattle by‘

the Asiatic steamer and took this





train. 'That was your reply, was it ‘





not?” .



“Yes,” Eaton‘ answered. .



“The ‘Asiatic steamer’——the Tamba

Maru that was, Mr. Eaton.”



Eaton looked up quickly and was

about to speak; but from Connery his

gaze shifted swiftly to the Englishman

and checking himself, he said nothing:



“Mr. Standish,”—-—C0nnery faced the

Englishman—“you came from Yoko-

hama to Seattle on the Tamba Maru,

didn’t you?”



“I did, yes.” .



“Do you remember this Mr. Eaton

among the passengers?” ‘



“No." ‘ .



“Do you know he was not among

the passengers?”



“Yes, I do.”



“How do you know?”



The Englishman took a folded paper

from his pocket, opened it and handed

it to the conductor. Connery, taking

it, held it out to Eaton.

Another year Without repairs





IT’S a satisfactory feeling, when you overhaul your tractor, to

find the pistons clean and bright, and the bearings, gears and

valves m good condition for another season’s work.





Much depends upon the lubrication.





A tractor lubricant must withstand excessive temperatures and

not deposit hard carbon. It must have exactly the right body to

seal compression—otherwise unburned fuel will work down into

the crank—case. Diluted oil and hard carbon are the two chief

causes of most tractor ills.





Texaco Tractoil is made specially for tractors. It is pure oil; it

has the l'lgllt body for the work and it does not break down under

cylinder temperatures. “





If you use Texaco Tractoil there’s no need to expect scored pis-

tons and worn—out bearmgs. They ought to last for years—and

they Will.





Texaco Tractoil comes in 33 and 55 gallon steel drums, wooden

barrels and half barrels, and in S—gallon sealed cans. Texaco Tract~

oil, grade “B”, “C” or “D”, and Texaco Crater Compound for

the heavy gears and chains, will go a long way towards longer life

for your tractor.

My Club Experiences





By Beatnce Famon





N December, 1920, one of the young



women in our community organized

a garment-making club. There were

six of us girls and we called ourselves

the “Busy Bees. ”



'We met at one of our homes or at

the home of our leader "every Wednes-

day afternoon. Our club meetings

were divided into three periods, name-

lyz" Business, sewing and recreation

perids. -



In March we gave a. St. Patrick’s

social which netted us ~a. good profit

besides enlisting the aid and coopera-

tion of people in the community who

had previously been disinterested in





were fifty-eight boys and girls, with

their leaders, all club workers, who





shared this splendid opportunity to see ,





Michigan’s largest city. We saw many





beautiful" buildings and places, includ— '





ing the Ford, Hudson, Packard ,\and

Dodge automobile factories, Detroit

City Library, several





parks, besides spending a. few minutes

at the aquarium on Belle Isle. A call

at Vernor’s for a. treat from the Mich-

igan Farmer people,‘and last, but'not

least, a trip through the Michigan

Farmer plant, listening to splendid

talks from both Mr. Wermuth and Mr.





 





 





Nearly Sixty Club Members were Our Guests on a Sight-seeing Trip.





our work. We placed our aprons, which

were the only garments we had com-

pleted at that time, on exhibit with our

reports and stories of “How I Made

My Apron.”



Shortly after this, the county cham-

pions in several projects were chosen,

the writer being the fortunate one in

garment-making in Ingham county.



A little later we were very happily

surprised by an invitation from the

Boys’ and Girls’ Club department .at the

agricultural college to attend the State

Fair for two days as a demonstrating

team, with all traveling expenses paid.

One day was to be given to demonstra-

tion, the other to visit the exhibits.



We demonstrated in the forenoon as

we had planned, but in the afternoon

we were invited by the Michigan Farm-

er people to go on a sight-seeing trip

around Detroit and Belle Isle. There





Wilken made our trip still more inter-

esting.



From thence we wended our way

back to the fair grounds, tired but joy-

ous, after our

during which we had seen'so many

things that were new and wonderful to

our rustic eyes.



The following morning we spent

around the fair grounds visiting the

many splendid exhibits, and in the

late afternoon boarded the'train for

home, feeling very thankful that we

had put forth the_effort, during the

few months that it took to complete

our project, which had earned for us

such an educational trip.





 





Miss Fanson’s little story above won

first prize in the Michigan Farmer con-s

test‘ for club members who visited the

State Fain—Eds.





Young Folks’ "Accomplishments





one OF THE CORN sovs.





 





S a result of the quality of the ten-



ear exhibit of corn he displayed

at the Eaton County Fair this fall,

Burlynn Bradley, of Potterville, is one

of the few boys in the state asked to

select fifty ears of corn to be sent to

the Southeast States Fair at Atlanta,

Ga.., and the International Hay and

Grain Show to be held in conjunction

with the International Live Stock Ex-

position at Chicago.





CHESANING YOUNGSTERS RUN

FARM.





 





UTH BADGLEY, who was ten





years old on August 9, and her'





brother, Leslie Badgley, who is four-

teen, are considered among the ban-

ner farmer workers in Michigan this





. year, by the people 'in and near Ches-





aning, in Saginaw county. They. live

on the old Badgley‘ farm, south of

town, with their parents, Mr. and Mrs.





, Fugene Badgley, and this year they

put in nearly all the' .seasonfs‘? crops

This included





with very little help.

the rye planting last fall, 9nd twe





 





spring, besides the potatoes and other

minor crops.



Ruth hitches her own team, drags

and rolls the fields just like any man.

Their father is afflicted with blindness,

having lost his sight while blowing

stumps with dynamite fourteen years

ago. Recently he has been taking

treatment from a specialist in Milwau-

kee, and Ruth accompanies hei father

on the hips. His sight is being slowly

restored.



Both children are bright in thei

school work and both are hustlers with

their farm work. Ruth milks five co

in the morning, while Leslie does the

chores and feeds the stock. He is also

holder of the Carnegie medal for an

act of bravery, having unassisted pulls

ed his sister from an old well half full

of water,a across from their home, when

he was a. lad seven years old and she

was only three. ———M.

SPECIALIZING IN POULTRY.





 





ONE reason for failures in the spe-

cialized poultry business is the

fact that it is a mass of small details.

Men who can succeed in the dairy bus-

iness often make a failure with poul-

try because they are not in the habit

of watching the small details and con-

sider some very important parts of

the work as rather fussy labor which

will cause no trouble if .neglected.

Women sometimes succeed better

with poultry than men because they

are familiar with housework which is

full of small details from morning to

dark. They“ learn to pay attention to

the small items and apply their tact

and perseverence in housework to the





management and development of-their .





poultry flocks.



A poultry keeper has a constant fight

on his hands to develop new flocks of

breeding stock The dairyman can ac—

cumulate a nice herd of cows of good

producing ability and he knows that,

barring unusual occurrences, he has

an equipment for the dairy business

good for several years. The poultry-

keeper no sooner obtains a large flock

of high- -producing hens when they

reach an age of two years and their

best laying period is over and a new

flock of pullets must be ready to take

their place. _



A hen is a small unit and it takes

many of them to make a large and

profitable flock. The poultry keeper

without experience who starts with

many birds is unable to quickly under-

stand their management. There is so

much detail to the business that it

must be started on a small scale and

built up as the knowledge of the breed-

er accumulatesg It is possible to suc-

ceed with poultry as many are doing,





. but no prospective breeder must as-





sume that the work is easy it he ex-





’ poets. to» master the details and sue.

§_H8alty Flavor





What It Tells





That uneven flavor of salt that often spoils

a good dish, is due tO‘poor salt—salt that-

fails to dissolve evenly because the crys-

tals or flakes were hard and solid. Ro-

mefnber salt is not salt until it dissolves

completely.





Colonial Special Farmers Salt difiers from

all other salts because its tiny flakes are

soft, porous and quick-dissolving, whereas

. the flakes or granular crystals of other

salts are hard, non-porous and slow-dis-

calving. There you have the reason for

Colonial Special Farmers Salt dissolving

quickly, penetrating evenly, seasoning

uniformly. Scientific tests prove Colo-

nial superiority every time.

HE work being done by the coun-



try women’s clubs and organiza-



tions received a large share of

attention at the recent annual meeting

of the Michigan State Federation of

Women’s Clubs. Dean Mary Sweeney

and Mrs. Louise Campbell, leader of

home extension agents, were speakers,

and an exhibit of work done by the ex-

tension department was shown during

the entire convention. Mrs. Campbell

made a plea for allclub women to get

behind the work being done through

the extension department and use their

influence to get. the work started in

more counties. Dean Sweeney stress-

ed the need of greater knowledge of

nutrition, and declared that one person

out of every three is not up to par be-

cause of wrong feeding before they

were six years old. She stated that

only a small per cent of the world’s

workers are at the height of their

working efficiency, and laid the blame

at the door of mal-nutrition.



The exhibit from the college consist-

ed of charts showing the effect of deo-

dorants on fabrics, how to set colors,

how to test cloths, how to remove

stains, and children’s clothing. A large

chart showed the extent of the wo1k

done by the extension depa1tment in

home economics.



With the college exhibit was an ex-

hibit, of rats, sent by Dr. Mitchell, of

the Battle Creek Sanitarium, and de-

signed to show the effect of improper

feeding. The importance of furnish-

ing plenty of calcium and iron to grow-

ing animals and nursing mothers was

strikingly shown in the condition of

the rats who were deprived of these

foods.



Health was not the only thing con-

sidered by these earnest club women,

however. If there was any subject

which in any way concerns a woman





that was left untouched, it has not yet

come to light.

vorce, disarmament, clothes, jazz, pro-

hibition enforcement, birth control,

well, just everything, came up for dis-

cussion. ,



The federation asked for an investi-





gation of the administration of moth-’





ers’ pensions, and is planning to have

the presidents of local clubs get in

touch with the women of their neighj

borhoods who are receiving pensions.



Local clubs were also asked to send

a demand to President Harding and

congress that at the coming disarma-

ment conference America insist upon

an international policy to prevent ex

ploitation of the Orient.



Mrs. W. R. Alvord, the state presi-

dent, urged members to assist in pro—

hibition enforcement by frowning upon

songs and jokes which make the law

a subject of ridicule. Birth control

was left with the adoption of a. resolu-

tion asking club women to make a.

thorough and scientific study of the

subject.



Interesting among the speakers was

Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, of Austin,

Texas, a former president of the Gen-

eral Federation of Women’s Clubs.

She urged women to form their own

opinion and not be afraid to express

them. “No woman has a right to give

her husband’s opinion as hers,” said

Mrs. Pennypacker.“ Too many per

sons form their opinions from newspa-

per headlines or from what a friend

or relative says. Before you can form

a real opinion you must read, talk with

others, and think. You must consider

all sides of the question before you

build an opinion. Then, when you have

formed an opinion, duty demands that

you speak when the proper occasion

offers or permits. We should take our

opinions into the conversational world.





 





 





 





HAT milk is the food par exc’el

lence~. for child and man is to go

no longer unchallenged by leaders of





a differnet school. Dr. William D.

Richardson, chief chemist for Swift &

Co., toldthe Institute of Independent

Margarin Manufacturers these things

about milk:



“Milk is supplied by nature only for

the young of mammals and the supply

is cut off automatically after a‘time

which varies with different species

from about one month to one year.

Thereafter none of the species in a

state of nature is furnished with milk

and milk therefore can not be consid-.

ered in any sense a natural food for

adults.



“It is not difficult for any one to

admit that milk, species for species, is





 





the ideal food for mammalian young.





foodstuffs.” . . c





When Doctors Disagree





but this admission does not carry filth

it the corollary that milk and dairy

products are the ideal or the necessary

food for adults. If it were so ,then

nature must have erred grievously in

not providing some source of supply

for all her adult mammalian family,

men and animals. The general facts

of natural history indicate conclusive-

ly that there is no intention in the

scheme of nature” to have adults de-

pendent in any degree for growth,

health, or general welfare, on milk or

dairy products.”



On the other hand, Dr. J. H. Kellogg

told the American Association of Med-

ical Milk Commisison and the Certified

Milk Producers’ Association of Ameri-

ca, this:



“Milk is an essential foodstuff not

only for infants but for olde1 children

and adults. Every child needs one





quart of milk a day and every adult 3. 'the home economics section of the ., {:7

Everything from A to Z Discussed





Clad lyome-Iz omete Federatzm Have Interesting Serum





We are talking not merely for conver-

sation, but because our country do!

sires each pe1 son to give the result of

his own thoughts.





“Women have a great responsibility

with regard to the topics of conversa-

tion in the family circle: Nothing can

be made more intellectual than family

table talks. Every skilled teacher eas-

ily picks out the children who come

from homes where intelligent conver-

sation is the rule. These boys and

girls have a 'fund of general informa-

tion, an outlook on life, and a. breadth

of vision that is invaluable. On the

other hand, much of the lack of never

once for law and authority on the part

of youth may be traced to remarks of

their parents in the home.”



Mrs. Marx E. Obendorfer, of Chicar,

go, entered the lists against jazz. She

declared that unless jazz music is obi

literated the morals of the young men

and women 61 the nation will be cor-

rupted beyond redemption.





“The matter of jazz is much more.





serious than the average person real'

izes,” said Mrs. Obendorfer. "Psychol-

ogists agree that there is a vital rela-

tion between music and morals. Even.

the most primitive races know this, for





they rouse their people in ceremonials, .





and for war by the rhythm of drums,

tom-toms, gongs, cymbals and other in-

struments. Jazz is rhythm out of joint.

There are reactions in jazz which ex-

cite the emotions and which are as ind

toxicating as hard liquor and even

more disastrous in its effects. I have

seen ballroom dancers drunk with jazz.





“What I am saying is not idle the

ory. Physicians have experimented

with the effect of jazz in hospitals and

particularly among the insane. The

reactions are physically and emotion-

ally corrupt. Judge Lindsay says that

inquiries among Denver high school

lads brought out statements that the

greatest contributory cause to the

downfall of youth is jazz music. Any

high school which permits jazz music

should be held guilty of misdemeanor.





“There is another musical mission

for women to undertake,” Mrs. Oben-

dorfer continued, “the suppression of

dirty songs in theaters._ Much of our

so-called popular music needs to be

cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.”





. The absence of men speakers on the

programs was noticeable. “Women‘are

as well qualified to discuss pertinent

subjects as men,” said Mrs. Alvord.

“Did you ever hear of a man’s convene

tion asking a woman to speak? Why,

then, should women depend upon men‘

for instruction?”

ON THE. USEOF MEAT.





 





 





The Editor,

The Michigan Farmer,

Detroit, Michigan.



Dear Sirz—We have read with inter-

est in The Michigan Farmer 01' Sep-

tember 3, an article entitled, “Mak-

ing the Most of Meat.” The statement

is made in this article that “the great

agitation on the subject of health that

has brought to even the most careless

people the knowledge that less meat

and more fruits and vegetableswrll

prolong life and make the ind1v1dual

more comfortable and efficient Whlle

he does live, has had its effect on the

cooking in all progressive homes.”



We respectfully submit that the

statement that less meat will make the

individual more comfortable and effi-

cient is not supported by modern

scientific opinion.



’It is true that the habitual over-con—

sumption of any individual ‘food or of

a. varied diet may become harmful to

some people and usually is harmful,

but of all foods meat products can be

consumed in the largest quantities

without ill etfect. Consider, for exam-

ple, those tribes of Eskimos which live

on meat products alone, consuming

very large quantities.



In this connection, we can make the

following affirmative statements with

respect to the value of meat as a food:



1. Meat and its accompanying fat

and organs appear to be the only sub-

stances which, while furnishing a com-

plete diet in themselves produce no ill

effects in the human organism. This

cannot be said of any other natural

food substance, even mills, when used

exclusively as an adult food. Meat,

however, has these peculiar proper

ties: It is capable of satisfying the

human appetite more than other foods

when used in moderate quantity and

when used even in excessive quanti-

ties or exclusively as by the Eskimo,

no harm results.



2. Meat is a natural food containing

the highest form of protein for human

consumption, in the most palatable,

stimulating and digestible form.



3. Meat contains vitamines in suffi-

cient quantities for nutritional require-

ments, particularly if a moderate pro-

portion of fat and the internal organs

such as liver, kidney, sweetbreads and

heart are consumed from time to time

in place of the ordinary steak, roast

or chop.



4. We recommend high—grade ani-

mal f5 ’8 as energy foods. We regard

misms and calories still as the two

fundamentals in dietetics. Carbohy-

ggi‘xf’é Salerh 3‘8 the Istag'ches found in

5. The vegetable proteins are gen-

tutes for meat. A few of them found

MPROPER feeding of infants and



young children is blamed by Dean



Mary Sweeny of the Michigan Ag-

ricultural College, for the fact that one

person out of every six is not physi-

cally able-to do the amount of daily

work that a normal, healthy human

bein should do. With this grave

charge resting upon mothers, it be-

hooves every one with children to

learn the proper thing in feeding, and

having learned it to practice it. Many

mothers who know what is right in

child feeding allow themselves to be

coaxed or bullied intb giving the child

improper foods, or allow it to form bad

food habits. If mothers realized that

it is as wicked to feed a child improp-

erly as it is to administer slow poison

a large per cent of the malnutrition

we see about us would disappear. _



Of course, the ideal food for the in-

fant is the natural food, and lucky are

the babies whose mothers have led

such sane, well-ordered, restful lives

that they can supply mother’s milk for

their young. Nothing else, no matter

how carefully prepared, will take the

place of mother’s milk, nor so well in-

sures health and life. Out of fifty thou-

sand babies studied those who died un-

der one year of age showed a. percent-

age of one to two for bottle-fed babies

and one to thirteen for breast-fed.

Mothers’ milk for the infant contains

a promise of longer life, too, if one

may trust statistics. In a group stud-

ied, eighty-five children breast-fed,

were all alive at eleven years of age,

while one hundred and nine bottle-fed

did not reach the eleventh year.



To be able to feed her baby the

mother must first take care of herself.

She must see to it that she has plenty

of fresh air and exercise, but on the

other hand, she must avoid exposure

and over-work. Her food must be plen-

tiflil and easily digested. For this rea-

son she must avoid foods which she

knows always “upset her stomach”

and those like sweets which cloy the

appetite and keep her from eating

enough plain, nourishing food.



Her. daily diet should include fruit

and vegetables, green vegetables to be

preferred, cereals, meat or fish or

eggs, milk, and fat, either cream, but-

ter, bacon, oil or something similar. A

bowl of gruel or milk or egg-hog just

before the mid—morning and mid-after-

noon nursing is helpful.



Abeve‘all, she must avoid excite

ment and anger.



In feeding anything, animal or hu-

man, regular hours is a prime factor

in success. Schedules vary according

to the physician, but having adopted

a schedule which promises success ad-

here to it. Feedings four hours apart

with the last one at midnight up to





, three months of age, were for a time





followed. After three months the mid-

night feedin‘g was dropped. Three—

hour intervals are now more generally

followed, and the new-born babe has

its last feeding at eight o’clock at

night.

interrupted rest until six o’clock in the

morning, when feedings again begin.

This schedule is used by the Grand

Rapids Clinic for infant feeding with

good results.



Occasionally in the case of small,

delicateinfants smaller and more fre-

quent feedings are necessary. .In all

things the mother must be guided by

the reaction of the infant to its food.

‘Commonsense in feeding babies is as

valuable as in everything else-in life,

and it must be remembered that even

The mother is then insured un-.





with infant feeding “oneman's meat is 1

another man’s poison." The mam-point





 





is to find out what is best for your

baby, and having found it; stick to





 





your schedule without regard to what»





some other mother does.



If the milk supply is insufficient it

may be necessary" to supplement it

with some other food. But continue

nursing so long as the supply lasts,

unless illness on the part of the moth-

er prevents, or the milk plainly disa-

grees with the baby. A small amount

of mother’s milk often means the dif-

ference between life and death to a

baby. _



Do not give the baby “tastes” of food

at the table.

quirement.





 





HOME REMEDIES FROM OUR SUB-

SCRIBERS.





 





_ When using poul‘tices lay in a. steam-

er over boiling water to keep hot.—

Mrs. L. L. G. -



To.relieve quinsy, put boiling water,

in a can, add a few drops of pepper.

mint oil, invert a funnel over the can,

place the mouth over the funnel and

allow steam to go in throat—Mrs.

L. L. G.



For an obstinate case of hiccoughs,

the following will stop the worst cas-

es: Give a tablespoonful of vinegar





in which a half teaspoonful of salt has





been dissolved.——~Mrs. L. M. T.

When the first nausea and griping

pains which indicate bowel trouble are





felt, this simple remedy, repeated at '





half hour intervals for several doses

will often ave-rt it altogether. Take

half a teaspoon, of wintergreen (or

one-fourth teaspoon of peppermint), a

quarter of a teaspoon of soda. and a.

little sugar in a quarter of a cup of

hot water—M. N. N.



If as much care were used in dress-1

ing the feet comfortably and attend-

ing to their comfort in all ways as we

use in regard to other parts of the

body, it would add much to our health

and happiness. When the feet become

hot and painful, take time to“ remove

the shoes and stockings and bathe the

tired feet in cool water until they are

relieved. A spoonful of aqua ammone

ia added to the water is helpful. Also

sprinkle ‘lhe feet with talcum powder

after drying, and put on fresh stock-

ings.—~G. K. L. ,

A sandwich for the school lunch may

be made of cold baked beans, a few

A very satisfactory way to remove

stove polish from cloth is to rub the

stained portion at once 'with soap.

Immerse the spot in warm water, and

as soon as convenient, wash it, chang-

ing the water frequently. If white

goods, soak in soap and water, adding

a little washing soda. If this does not

help, other solvents such as chloroform

.R‘MI’STICE DAYJis coming. It is

-‘ ~ 3. new anniversary in the calen-

' .dar, celebrated, .not as .a national

lhOIiday alone, but as an international

.anniversary. Arril'isfice “Day, 1921, is

«especially noteworthy because it is the

day for the, assembling of the confer-

ence on the limitation of armament,

called by the President of the United

States. ’Should this conference suc-

ceed, that is, should it be the cause of

reducing the armaments of the great

powers, it will be :the most memorable

event .of the year, peldlaps. of many

years. Should this reduction or arma-

ment finally lead 'to the abolishment

of militaly'madhlnery, the name of

President Harding will be as immortal

as that of Washington, Lincoln, or

Grant. It is not expected, however,

that this conference will have any

such startling results at first. Indeed,

that is not the intention. But if an

agreement can be reached so that arm-

ament will be limited for the present,

with a gradual reduction of it to a cer-

tain point, the lovers of a warless

world will be jubilant.



This is the next great step the world

must take. if civilization is to be sav-

ed. When one contemplates the war

debts of Europe, debts that will crush

and stifle generations yet unborn, and

when one adds to this the fact that





v





I the best brains, the best bodies, the





hope of Europe, are buried on battle-

fields, it is enough to cause the most

bellicose nation to ask itself whether

the old way of war is the most profit-

able use of money and brains. As one

looks back, he sees that civilization

has come slowly out of barbarism.





N fact, we are not wholly out of bar-



barism yet. Some moments \of vic-

tory are behind us, when the forces

of freedom and right shot forward with

unprecedented velocity. The granting

of the Great Charter was one of these

occasions. In 1215 it was made a law

of England that the personal liberty

and property of all freeman was secur-

ed. No man could be arbitrarily im-

prisoned, nor his property confiscated.

To be sure, this has not always been

lived up to, but on the other hand it

has been lived up to, by the great ma-

jority of governments and peoples.

The Habeas ‘Corpus Act came later,

and guaranteed that every man shall

be arrested only for jdst cause and

that he shall have a fair trial in court.

The’ Bill of Rights was another of

these great democratic documents, and

decreed that the monarch was bound

to respect the rights of his subjects.

Then in the year 1775 came the im-

mortal Declaration of Independence,

dear to all American hearts, beginning

with these words, “We hold these

truths to be self-evident, that all men

are created equal; that they are en-

dowed' by their Creator with certain

unalienable rights; that among these

are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-

_piness."



Looking back over the long past, it

is apparent that progress ”has been

slow, in the realm of popular rights.

But it has been far more rigid than

the progress of the relationships

among nations. Men who regarded

each other in a spirit of good will eyed

other nations as so much booty to be

captured, or as a fat carcass to be

carved. Is it possible to have a war-

less world? -





HE answer to this is given by two

opposite parties. The military

party says, no. Men‘ are selfish and





deceitful. Nations Tare often guided by.

by which the World can “be rifled. The

other party replies that military ,pra—

says they cannot be trusted, and hence' ’

further denies absolutely that force

vance of theworld ‘rn morals and mor-

al standards. Christianity has not re-





 





 





lied on force for ’i’ts Victories. More-

over, preparedness has not prevented

war. When the Great War boggling

Germany was prepared, France .waslE

prepared, Russia «was prepared, Eng-1

land had the world‘s most splendid

navy, Italy had an [excellent my, and .

all this vast array of military force did

not prevent war. I



Today such men as Pershing, Bliss,‘

Maurice, Beatty and many more are

saying that the wonld ought to learn

from the past that huge armies and

navies do not keep the peace. Let us

quote the exact words of a few of‘.

these: General Pershing: “The worldi

does not seem to learn from experig

once. It would appear that the lessons ,

of the past six years should be enough:

to convince everybody of the danger

of nations striding up and down the

earth armed to the teeth. But no one‘

nation can reduce armaments unless

all do. Isn’t it time for an awakening.

among enlightened peoples to the end

that the leading powers should reach

some rational agreement which would

not only relieve the world of this tors“

rible financial load, but would in itself ‘

be a long step toward the prevention}

of war?” ‘



General Bliss, United States Armyz;

“If nations are armed to the limit

against each other and each knows

that the armament of the other has no

use against any other than himself—

can we not all see that when one ap-

proaches its limit and believes theoth-

or to be capable of further expansion,

war, without waTrning, is almost in-

evitable."



General Maurice, British Army:' “I

believe now that if you prepare thor-

oughly and efficiently for war, you get

war.”





HETHER this conference on the



limitation of armament will

avail anything, depends largely on the

spirit of the nation where it is held.

If the press becomes skeptical and

fearful, there will be little done of a

progressive and forward-looking na-

ture. Already one widely circulated

branch of the daily press is using ev-

ery possible means of preventing pos-

itive results from the conference, and

is printing scareheads about the yel-

low peril, to advance its designs. The

religious press, which is no small fac-

tor, we hope, is certainly with Presi-

dent Harding and Secretary Hughes.

Some of the principles which thinking

people believe should be agreed on,

are: “Open Agreements, openly ar-

.rived at.” That is, no secret treaties

that are made public only as war im-

pends. “The Pacific Settlement of

Every International Dispute.” “The

Principle of Equality of Race Treat-

ment.” This does not mean that every

race must have the privileges of citi—

zenship granted it, without considering

personal fitness, as that is a question

each nation must decide. But it refers

to the principle of granting all aliens

who come within a nation's borders.

whether as travellers or to become res-

idents, equality of legal status, without

reference to color~ or creed, or race.

RED-POLLED CATTLE.





 





WHILE showing Red-Polled cattle



at the different fairs of the

state, I was in position to hear much

of what was said of the cattle, and it

is my opinion that the Red—\Polled cat-

tle are not very well known. A great

many people, believing that they are

a branch of the Shorthorns or in other

words are Polled Shorthorns. And it

is my purpose to tell a little of our

breed of cattle.



Red-Polled cattle have been known

and bred for centuries in the counties

of Norfolk and Suffolk, England. .The

first Red-Polled cattle to be shipped

to this country came about seventy-five

years ago.



As dairy cows, the Red-Polled have

made no phenomenal records, but the

average of the best herds would be

creditable for any breed. The world’s

champion Red—Polled cow, Jean Du

Luth Beauty, produced 20,2806 pounds

of milk and 891.58 pounds of butter-fat,

1,070 pounds of commercial butter in

365‘ days. At the London Dairy Show

held in October, 1919, Red-Polled cows

won first,_ second and third and grand

champion c0w.-over all breeds. .

LIVE STOCK RATE CHANGES.





 





THE live stock minimum weights



changes authorized October 15 to

Michigan railroads on ‘ over-length live

stock cars should efl'ect considerable

economies to Michigan shippers, says

the Michigan State Farm Bureau traf-

~fic department.



Supplement No. 8, Kelly's Excep-

tions to the Official Classification, sets

forth that effective October 15, the

same minimum weights on live stock

will prevail for cars thirty-seven feet

six inches in length up to and includ-

ing forty feet and six inches. Hereto-

fore, the foregoing minimum weights

have applied to live stock cars from

thirty-seven feet six inches up to and

including forty feet three inches. With

a number of live stock cars in Michi-

gan forty feet six inches long, many

Michigan shippers were being obliged

to pay the next minimum weight fig-

ure, which meant the addition of 2,000

pounds to their freight charges for

three inches of car length. One Mich-

igan railroad has 629 such over-length



‘live stock cars.

. UT ni Edgar county, Illinois, a.

tanner had Ms herd ‘of cattle

tested for tuberculosis. One cow



reacted. ». Now the farmer thought he



knew more about the value of tubercu-

lin tests than the state inspector. He

thereupon removed the ear tag from

his infected cow and, with much seem-

ing generosity, presented her to his





’ hired man for wages.





There were seven children in the

hired man’s family, his wife, a pig and

a cat. All save two of the children,

the farmer and his wife, drank milk

from the tuberculous cow. The five

children, the pig and the cat have all

contracted the disease. This seeming-

ly generous farmer has thereby been

responsible for introducing into a poor

family this disease. He may even be

the indirect cause of a resulting death

and be liable to the charge of man-

slaughter.



So much for that one particular case.





Bovine tuberculosis can be transmit-

ted from cows to human beings. The

milk from tuberculous cows frequently





'Carries the germs of tuberculosis. Since





children are the ones who drink the

most milk, bovine tuberculosis is found

more among them than among adults.

Moller, for example, said that among

2,048 adults with tuberculosis, only

We per cent were of the bovine type,

mostly of the abdomen and glands.

Only half of one per cent of all bovine

tuberculosis is (If the lungs. However,

eighteen per cent of a group of chil-

dren who died of tuberculosis were

found to have been infested with the

bovine bacillus. Probably eight per

cent of all the tuberculosis deaths are

due to bovine diseases.



Under five years of age bovine ba-

cilli are supposed to be responsible for

sixty-one per cent of tuberculosis of

glands, fifty-eight per cent of abdomi-

nal tuberculosis, sixty-six per cent of

generalized tuberculosis and tubercu-

lous meningitis, twenty-seven per cent

of tuberculosis of bones and joints.

One authority says that ninety per

cent of the glandular form in Edin-

burgh is of bovine origin. Moreover,

in the case of both cows and humans

the disease does not always manifest

itself where the germs get in. Other-

wise, all bovine tuberculosis would be

likely to be in the. digestive tract.

Children who drink the milk of tuber-





culous cows may have no trouble there,





but may show the disease in remote

parts of the body. as in the knee, the

hip, the spine and the lungs. A



Although children do not always die

from bovine tuberculosis, if they re-

cover, they are likely to be either dis-

figured or crippled.



The cow is an animal we ordinarily

consider friendly and harmless. Yet

a cow sick with tuberculosis may be

more dangerous in a community than

a roaring lion. It has been estimated

that in New York State seven per cent

of the cows are tuberculous; of those





slaughtered in London it is estimated





that twenty-five per cent are. In order

to avoid the very serious danger to

man of tuberculosis in cattle careful

inspection of all dairies is necessary.

There should be inspection also of all

those whose work about cows and in

dairies, both in order that germs may

not get into the milk after it leaves

the cow and that the healthy cows

may not become infected. Most cities

have such regulations for the examina-

tion of the milk supply and utmost

care should be taken in the enforcing

of thistle. I -





Milk that comes to big cities often

travels a great distance. It is some—





. times twentwaour hours old when de-

- fixated at the door. Milkvthat is old,





. been. Wed togahsyamjn

\





as many germs as that which is fresh

and has been kept cold. One night,

three thousand cans of milk were

poured into the sewef' in New York

City because its temperature had not

been kept as low as it should be. Good

milk inspectors take no chances for

there is no better food on which to

feed germs than milk.





As a matter of safeguarding health,-





even with the best inspection, milk

for‘ babies should be pasteurized. This

is done by heating the milk to one

hundred and forty-five degrees Fahren-

heit and allowing it to remain at that

temperature for twenty minutes.





Rarely is the meat of tuberculous

cattle sold in this country, for we have

rigid laws condemning these animals

for food. Other animal products, how-

ever, such as butter‘and cheese, may

contain germs. It is milk especially

which must be most carefully inspect-

ed i'or that is the food of our babies

and children, the future men and wom-

en of our country. '



In this country last year 132,000 per

sons -died from tuberculosis and of

that number 12,000 were children un-'

der five years of age. ‘Is it not neces-

sary that everyone should join in the

fight to stamp out this disease? To

help expose such cases as that of the

Illinois farmer and to cooperate in

working for better milk and less tuber-

culosis among children, the National

BALANCED RATION FOR DAIRY

COWS.





Please give me the necessary in-

gredients to make up a well—balanced

ration. I have shredded cornstalks,

bean pods, good mixed hay and chop

feed. I am feeding two parts of old

oats, one part corn by weight, one

pound for every four pounds of milk.



R.





Your ration is deficient in protein.

They are all good foods but a cow can-

not get sufficient protein out of them

to do her best in production. I would

add wheat bran and oil meal. Mix one

part wheat bran with your three parts

oats and corn, and besides, feed each





o





cow two pounds of oil meal each day_





and in addition to the oil meal, one

pound of your mixed grain ration for

every four pounds of milk as you are

now doing. The cow, of course, should

have all the roughage feed that she

will eat up clean.-——C. C. L.

Biggest Labor Saver on the Farm





Every day there is some barn cleaning to do—and even if it takes

only the average of an hour aday you are spending over amonth

every year—just cleaning your barn. You can actually save fully

two thirds of this time by using a London Manure Carrier to do

this job. Figure it out—the Louden Carrier will pay for itself the

first year in the saving of time alone, and the saving goes on year

after year as long as the barn stands.



In addition the Louden Carrier takes all that drudgery out of

this hard disagreeable chore. It takes the equal of five wheel-

barrow loads of manure at a single trip—takes it clean without

dripping or scattefing-dumps it directly into the spreader.

Operates so easily on roller bearing trolleys that a 12-year-old

boy finds the job a pleasure. You can install a London Manure

Carrier in your barn just as it stands, at small cost. It is one of

the most profitable investments any farmer can make.

would cause a cow 1: at milked .six’or

seven quarts of milk to suddenly re-

duce her milk flow to one pint or less?

Her milk yield is uneven, but never

more than two quarts.

one of my best cows. Mrs. C. M., Avo-

ca, Mich—An acute attack of indiges-

tion, or purging, or any ailment which

produces high feVer, will suddenly

check the milk flow, or materially les-

sen, it. Give her a tablespoonful of

powdered gentian at dose in feed two

or (three times a. day and change her

fee .



Loss of A petite—I have a hog that

will weigh 00 pounds which seems to

have lost his appetite for food. He

seems to be uneasy, but I .don’t be-

lieve he is in pain. R. W. G., South

Branch, Mich—Give him three ounces

of castor oil or- tWO ounces ‘of epsom

salts to open bowels. Also give five-

grain doses of quinine three times a

day. Is he short of exercise and is his

bowels active? A change of feed 'is

perhaps what is required, or you may

have been feeding too much grain.



Diarrhea—I have a heifer calf five

weeks old which was never allowed to

suck its mother, but ever since it was

born it has had diarrhea. Have been

giving‘it a raw egg. with its corn and

cat meal, adding some sugar and salt.

Home remedies have failed in. this

case. Mrs. G. V., Mattawan, Mich.—

Give ten grains of sale] at a dose

three or four times a. day. Clean and

disinfect your calf barn and keep it

so. The infective germs may be lurk-

ing in your calf stable.



Sore Comb—I sent away for a cock-

erel expecting to use him" for bread

ing purposes in the spring; at or soon

after I got him I noticed a bunch on

the wattles and comb; the comb was

very sore; I removed scab, painted

wound with iodine but the wattles and

comb crack and don’t, heal. A dis-

charge of yellow pus comes from the

sores. Mrs. D. G., Reading,'Mich.——-

Apply peroxide of hydrogen, and ten

minutes later apply equal parts oxide

of zinc and boric acid. . ‘



Congestion—We have a ten-year—old

horse that is acting strangely. For the

past three or four days he has spells

of stiffness, hardly able to walk, but

after slight exercise he improves. He

seems to have trouble in raising his

head. His feed has been cracked corn

and bran, equal parts fed dry, also

recently have in addition fed green

sweet corn just cut, increasing the ra-

tion from two to eight stalks twice a.

day. This corn is immature and in-

fected, with the corn borer. J.‘ R'.,

Breedsville, Mich—Keep him warm,

especially when weather changes from

hot to cold. Change feed and give him

a teaspoonful of acetate of potash in

feed or water two or three times a

day. Discontinue feeding green sweet

corn, unless it is of good quality. .



Stocking—Sluggish Kidney Action.

—I have a horse about ten years old;

left hind leg swells and his kidneys

do not act free. E. D. 8., Monroe 00.,

~Give him a. teaspoonful of acetate of

potash in drinking watertwo or three

times a day, whenever you believe he

requires a kidney stimulant; Bandag-

ing and daily exercise will help leg.



Rheumatism—11 have a cow with a.

good appetite, giving nice mess of milk,

but when down has trouble in getting

up. J. J. S., Belleville, Mich—Give

her one dram 'of fluid extract of nux

vomica and one dram of potassium io«

dide in feed or water two or three

times a day. If you believe her back

is weak, apply mustard and water

twice a week; Does she get daily ex-

ercise?



Garget—Obstructed Teat.——I am an

interested reader of the Michigan

Farmer and would like to have you

prescribe for my Guernsey heifer which

came fresh three weeks ago, at which

time her udder caked badly, caking

is now all gone, but one teat is block-

ed. When teat is pressed it seems as

thougha string ran through it; she is

hard to milk. Would .it help to use a‘

milk tube? If so, what length? C. E.





you should use tube three and

eighth inches long, but don’ttor

boil it for fifteen minutes

before use; .‘f‘n’ot. Ian, ~

WILL ENDEAVOR To GET DAIRY

“EXHIBIT.





 





CTION was taken at the special

meeting of the directors of the

Michigan Allied Dairy Association

held in Lansing recently. looking to—

ward obtaining for the annual conven-





' flan and dairy show to be held in Sag-





inaw February 14-17. the exhibit that

was featured at the National Dairy

Show held at the Minnesota. State Fair

Grounds, St. Paul, early this month,

and which was gotten up by the dairy

division of the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture at an expense of

about $25,000. Mr. Glen Overton, of

Allegan, president of the Allied Dairy

Association, will confer with officials

in Washington next week with refer-

ence to ways and means for obtaining

the exhibit in question. The associa-

tion will also endeavor to feature ex-

hibits of the State Department of Ag-

riculture, and the Michigan Agricul-

tural College, and in addition there

will be 'a complete line of commercial

exhibits of dairy machinery and sup-

plies. -





 





DAIRY ASSOCIATION PLANS NEW

ACTIVITIES.





 





N considering the future policy of



the Michigan Allied Dairy Alisocla-

tion the directors took cognizance of

the fact that the time is opportune for

more active work designed to speed up

dairy production and marketing eco-

nomics, and voted to instruct the ex-

ecutive committee to submit a plan or

program of work to be undertaken by

the association at this time.



H. D. Wendi, of Lansing, who has

been acting as general secretary of

the association since it was first or-

ganized in February, 1920, and who

until recently was in charge of the hu-





, reau of dairying of the State Depart-





ment of Agriculture, has agreed to

continue with the association on a full

time basis, at least up until the first

of March, and will be in active com-

mand with reference to the manage-

ment of the convention and show to be

held in Saginaw in February as well

as the other activities to be undertak-

en by the association, directly and in

cooperation with other agencies, such

as the State Farm Bureau, the College

and the State Department of Agricul-

ture and the United States Department

of Agriculture.





EVAPORATED MILK FACTORY IS

' OPENED.





 





FTER several weeks’ preparation



in converting its plant from a pow-

dered milk manufacturing factory, the

International Milk Products Company

has reopened at Bad Axe for the mak-

ing of evaporated milk.



The plant'was built five years ago

to make powdered milk, but when the

bottom dropped out of the milk mar-

ket a year ago. the company decided

to turn to evaporated milk. The plant

will have a daily capacity of a carload

of condensed milk, or 50,000; cans, re-

quiring about 100,000 pounds of raw

milk. This will mean a ready market

for the milk produced in the Thumb,

one of the most promising dairy sec-

tions ofthe state—MILLS.





DAIRY DEVELOPMENT IN CEN-

TRAL MICHIGAN.





 





ENSUS statistics just given out

at. Washington show that Michi-

gan. is rapidly becoming one of the

ates of the nation. The

goduction in the» past





 

 





g





 





 





 





ten years has been over fifty per cent.

The entire state has shared in this

increase. but by far the more rapid

progress has been made in central

Michigan, of which Saginaw county is

the pivot. The Thumb district and the

counties along the Huron shore as far

as Alpena, in the past ten years have

more than doubled their dairy herds,

while cheese factories, butter factor-

ies and cream buying stations have

sprung up at numerous shipping points.

One has but to drive through the

rich farming territory of Arenac,Glad—

win and Ogemaw counties to learn

these facts. Nearly every town of any

consequence has its butter or cheese

factory. and competition in the buy-

ing of cream is furnished by from one

to three stations which ship cream to

Bay City, Saginaw or Detroit, while

nearly every cross-roads store is also

a. cre‘am buying station. Dairying and

its co—partner on the farm, stock rais-

ing, is rapidly making eastern Michi-

gan a land of well-to-do-people.—~M.





MILK WITH BAD FLAVOR.





 





The milk which we are getting from

our cows seems to have a flavor not

liked by the children, particularly the

baby. Do you think silage taints the

milk? R. L.



Good silage has no bad effect on

milk, but should not be fed exclusive—

ly. In this case, probably the silage

was bad, or perhaps for some reason

did not agree with that particular cow,

for cows have their peculiarities as

well as humans. The use of herd milk

for feeding the baby should rectify the

trouble. If the mother wishes to fur-

nish us with more detailed data we





shall be glad to investigate the matter *





more completely.~—R. GIBBONS, M.A. C.





TURNING STRAW INTO MANURE.





 





NOTABLE discovery of special in-



terest to gardeners and farmers

has just passed out of the laboratory

into the practical stage. A bacillus

with such a powerful digestion that it

can “break down" " cellulose—the

toughest part of vegetable growth——

was discovered and multiplied at the

Rothamsted Experimental Laborator-

ies some time ago. It has so flourish

ed that its digestive powers have pass-

ed all expectation, and it is now capa-

ble of taking the place of cattle and

horses. ,



The special work to which it is be-

ing harnessed is the breaking down of

straw. With the help of some other

kindly bacteria and bacilli it will con-

vert straw into the best “farmyard

manure.” This achievement has been

watched for some months in the lab-

oratory with unvarying success. Straw

has been converted into the best ma-

nure without the aid of any animal big

enough to be visible.



The method is now proving equally

successful on a large scale. Tons of

straw so treated are quickly and

cheaply converted into a fertilizer that

has all" the mechanical as well as the

chemical virtue of the ordinary farm-

yard manure.



The straw is twice watered, then

treated with a mild sprinkling of a

nitrogenous solution, and the benevo-

lent bacteria go to work at once, mul-

tiplying into incalculable millions with-

in a few days. Farmers who have seen

the product are convinced of its value,

which, indeed, has been proved by a.

number of plot tests—M. MEREDITH.





Says Sam: If the folks Who are al-

ways throwing cold water “would only

join the fire department, maybe some





   

 





 





 





 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   





O “shoddy”, no duck fabric, no rubber substitutes

used in this shoe. Only the choicest pure Para rubber

that enters the Goodyear Rubber Company’s factory





goes into the Gold-Seal SPORTO.





So a SPORTO won’t freeze like a duck-fabric shoe does,

for it sheds water instantly. Neither will it crack, peel or





leak, for the rubber used is pure.





Outwear. Three Ordinary Pair,





For only a little more than you would pay for just .common

quality, you can get the wear of three ordinary pair of rub-

ber shoes from a single pair of SPORTOS. And besides,

SPORTOS are lighter and more pliant—keep your feet

from feeling tired and heavy at the end of the day.

40 cents, when fed to good cows will produce about three

pounds of butter worth from $1.00 to “$1.50—at least

WHEAT





The failure of pronounced bullish

views on the wheat market: outlook

based upon immense European re—

quirements, a small crop in the United

States and possible drouth in the

Southern Hemisphere has left the mar-

ket on uncertain ground. More liberal

European harvests than expected, with

splendid growing weather in Argen-

tina, Australia and India and the gov—

ernment report on wheat, holdings in

the United States on Ocober 1, have

brought about a marked revision of

opinion. Prices have held within a

narrow range not far above the lowest

level of the season. The decline of

thirty cents a bushel since September

10 has discounted much of the change

in the outlook and the market is mark-

ing time waiting to see more clearly

how the supply and the demand fac—

tors are going to work out.





CORN





Corn prices are holding within nar—

row limits but; are showing a firm un-

dertone. Receipts have fallen off

sharply. About. two-thirds of the mar-

ket supply is old COI‘I‘. and one—third

new. The movement of new corn to

'market is expected to increase rapid—

ly. The prospective reduction in the

freight rates in the western half of the

corn belt. may delay shipments until

it goes into effect. Husking returns

generally show disappointing yields.





OATS '





The cats market continues to be in

fluenced in the main by the action of

corn but may show more independence

before. long. The last Weekly visible

report showed a. reduction of nearly

1,000,000 bushels, the first in many

weeks. With stocks at, terminals de-

clining and the period of heavy re“

ceipts already past, the oats market

may show more response to the short-

age in this year’s crop.





SEEDS





In spite of a small acreage and light

yield of cloverseed, market, receipts

have been liberal as farmers are forc-

ed to sell to obtain cash. The market

has declined slightly in the last two

weeks but on the whole has held up

well under the pressure to which it

has been submitted. Timothy seed re—

ceipts on the other hand are declining

as the heavy marketing season is past.





FEEDS





After a brief spurt due to’fear of a

strike, feed markets have become in.





 





 





active again. Prices ShOW but little

change on wheat feeds. Linseed meal

and cottonseed meal are firmer, due to

export inquiries. Storge stocks of all

feeds are comparatively heavy.





HAY





Receipts of hay in distributing mar-

kets are fairly heavy but demand was

fairly good most of last week and the

prices are steady. Country loadings

have decreased again as producers in

western territory are inclined to wait

until the reduction of about sixteen

per cent in freight rates goes ino ef-

fect. It is estimated that this \will

mean $1.50 to $2 a ton. "





POULTRY AND EGGS '





Egg prices advanced during most of

the last week, reaching ultimately a

level of about sixty-five per cent higher

than the low point last spring. Fresh

eggs have maintained an especially

strong tone until the last day or two

when demand began to turn'more ex-

tensively to storage eggs. Receipts last

week were considerably larger than in

the preceding week and were nearly

fifty per cent higher than in the cor-

responding wwk a year ago. The long

continued advance in prices evidently

has made the market slightly top-

heavy and a moderate setback would

not be surprising. Receipts of dressed

poultry at the four leading cities are

running more than one-third larger

than at this season lastl year. Live

poultry receipts also are heavy.



Latest quotations were as follows:

Chicago.——Eggs fresh firsts 49@51c;

ordinary firsts 42@450 per dozen. Poul-

try, springs 200; hens general run at

230; roosters 14c; ducks 23c; geese

BUTTER





Threat of a. railroad strike which

overhung the butter market until the

close of last week increased the de-

mand and brought about advances in

values to new high levels for the sea-

(son. An easier tone prevailed after

the strike order was recalled. Accord

ing to the report of the American

Creamery Butter Manufacturers’ Asso-

ciation, production is about twenty-five





per cent larger than at this time last ‘.





year. The rate of butter consumption

is unusually high since comparatively

heavy receipts have been absorbed

without leaving a surplus and large

quantities have been withdrawn from

cold storage. Prices for 92-score fresh

butter were: , y ,



Chicago 46c; New York 481/20. At

Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells for

37617400 per pound.





APPLES





Apple markets continue on a rather

even keel with rial/[inch Baldwins

still quoted at $6.25@6.50 per barrel

f. o. b. New York shipping points. In

consuming markets Baldwins are quot-

ed from $6@7.50 per barrel, Greenings

$7.75@8.75; Grimes Golden $8@9 ’and

Jonathans $8.50@'9. Northwestern ex

tra fancy Jonathans are bringing $2.50

@3 per box for medium sizes.





BEANS





Prices for Michigan beans advanced

early last week but declined toward

the close, making little net change.

Picking has been slow so that not all

the sales for October shipment have

been filled and on this account demand

for November shipment has declined.

Receipts are increasing, however, so

that orders should be cleaned up more

POTATOES





Potato shipments increased again

last week but remained considerably

lighter than during the first half of

October. Prices were slightly lower

for the week. Bulk Northern round

whites were quoted at $1.50@1.70 per ,

100 lbs. f. o. b. shipping points. They

were bringing only $1.80@1.85 in the

Chicago carlot market. New York ship-

ping point prices are! 20@30c, higher.





WOOL





No new factors are visible in the

wool market outlook. Prices maintain

the firm tone which they have had

most of the-time for the last two

months and mills are“ absorbing fairly

large quantities although demand is

somewhat irregular from day to day.

Medium and lower grades are receiv-

ing more attention than earlier in the

season. Trade in Ohio *wools is ex-

tremely active. ‘Foreign auctions are

strong with prices showing a slight

tendency to advance, both in Great

Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and

South America. The. woolen goods

trade is not entirely satisfactory as the

weather has remained too warm to

stimulate retail sales. The Boston mar-

ket is quoted as follows: Michigan

and New York, delaine unwashed 31@

33c; fine unwashed 26@27c; half-blood

28—29c; three-eighth blood unwashed

260; quarter-blood unwashed 23%,@





240 pound.

CHEESE





The cheese markets held practically

steady last week with eastern markets

displaying a better tone than Chicago.

Country markets declined early in the

week but showed more firmness later

on. Unlike the' butter market, the

strike seemed to reduce the demand

for cheese as neither shippers nor buy— ’

ers wished to have consignments

caught en route. Receipts at Chicago,

New York, Boston and Philadelphia

ran about twenty per cent larger than



«in the preceding week and nearly

twice as large as in the corresponding

week a year ago. Prices for No. 1

American cheese. were: ..



Chicago.—-Flats 20%@21c; twins 20

@201/20; single daisies at 211,é@22c;

‘ ' GRAND RAPIDS





Potato prices ,slightly stiffened in

Grand Rapids this week as consumers

entered the market for stocks and buy-

ing for shipping got under way again

following the slump caused by the

threatened freight tieup. M. S. Wig—

gins, local representative of the United

States Bureau of Markets, is of the

opinion that the market will be strong-

er on spring stocks, basing his belief

on government statistics. The four~

year average shows that 63,000 cars

are' usually shipped after October 22,

but this year with the crop estimated

25,000,000 bushels short and the move-

ment before that date unusually

heavy, Mr. Wiggins estimates there

remain only a supply equal to 2,000

cars per week to be moved to market

during the-remainder of the shipping

season. For the past month ship-

ments have averaged about 10,000 cars

per week in the United States. Quota-

tions are as follows: 2'

' Vegetables—Potatoes $1@1.15 bu;.

dry onions $2@3.50 per cwt; celery $1

box; head lettuce $1 bu; carrots, tur-





nips, beets and cabbage 75c@$1 bu;





squash $1.50@2 per cwt.

radon—crimp. SALES. I





 





URING the week of October 21-28



five pure-bred Poland-China. sales

were held in Michigan. From these

sales has gone out some of the best

blood of this excellent breed, not only

to help maintain the high standard of

established herds but, to an even

greater eXtent than usual, to lay the

foundation of new herds. Many farm—

ers took their first step in the pure—

bred swine business by taking advan-

tage of the offerings of the different

sales.



The general excellence of the breed-

ing and the: condition of the animals

left little to be desired. The prices

when compared with the high figures

of the past two seasons were conserv-

ative. But when measured in bushels

of corn it took on an average the corn

from about the same area to pay for

a hog this year as it did last.



Lind Sale.





The dispersal sale of W. H. Lind

was held at the farm near Alto under

favorable weather conditions and with

a. good crowd present. Many prom1-

nent breeders of Poland-Chinas and of

other breeds, were present. The ani-

mals showed plenty of type and car-

ried the up-to—date blood of the breed.

The bidding here was snappy. The

top price of $75 was paid by G. A.

Baumgarden, of Middleville. Two am-

mals sold at $60, two at $50, one at

$46 and one at $40.



Laughlln, Sherk do Adams Sale.



This sale wasvheld at Caledonia on

Saturday, October 22. The crowd was

not large but the bidding was brisk

and the offering was sold in two hours.

The list was a. little top-heavy with

boars, some of which sold cheap, caus-

ing the average to be out down. Year:

ling-tried sows sold the best, five 01

them being in the sale and all going

for better than $50. The sale was top-

ped by a. spring gilt sired by “Belmont

Buster” and out of a daughter of “The

Yankee.” She went for $75.



Hart, Fulcher &. Cline Sale.



At this sale which was held at St.

Louis, forty-one head of attractive‘ fall

yearlings, spring gilts and young boars

were sold. There was a fair crowd

present, among whom were listed some

of the state’s best Poland-China breed-





' ers. The bidding was active on the





majority of the offerings. The sale

was topped by a. classy gilt, Checkers

Lady farrowed in June by Pansy 103-

8744, with Checkers 524747 as sire.

She was purchased by E. R. Leonard,

of the same place, at $71. Seven other

animals sold above the $35 mark. Fall

yearling gilts appeared to be in best

demand. All this offering went to

parties living within seventeen miles

of St. Louis.

E. R. Leonard Sale.





The highest price paid at Mr. Leon-

ard’s auction which was held at the

farm northwest of St. Louis, was $80

for the tried sow, “Queen of Walnut

Brook," sired by Big Defender and out

of’Daisy Hadley. Another tried sow

by L’s Long Prospect and farrowed by

Orange Mollie, brought $75, while- two

gilts of this latter sow from a mating

to F’s Clansman were knocked oil at

$60 each. There ,was a. good attend-

ance at this sale and but for the he

quent interruption due to showers it

is probable that a. higher average

would have been secured.



Pops Bros.’ Sale.



Excellent weather greeted the visit-

ors at Francisco Farm, southwest of

Mt. Pleasant, Friday afternoon. We

were obliged to leave before the sale

was half done, but before we left

“Walnut Lady 2nd,” sired by Leonard’s

Giant and out of “Queen of Walnut

Brook,” brought $81. A gilt from a

mating of Michigan Mastodon and

Miss Wonder, found a buyer at $54 and

another of the same litter went at $51.



The first two sales were successfully

piloted by Auctioneer N. C. Thomas,

of Caledonia, while the Central Mich-

igan Circuit was ably handled by Wm.

Waffle, of Goldwater, who was strong-

ly assisted in the ring by Mr. Hoffman

of Hanover.

ack the barnyard

into the house





OUT to the barn a dozen times a day—work-

ing ankle-deep in manure and slush—every

stock-farmer has felt the [need of something he

could slip on in a moment and wash clean in a

flash. That’s how we came to design the now

famous U. S. Walrus.





Highest-grade rubber to resist the acids of the

barnyard. Smooth surface that washes clean as

quickly as a boot. Buckles that snap shut or slip

open in a hurry. Warm fleece lining for solid

comfort. The U. S. Walrus has met every test

of the stockmen we built it for, and today farmers

everywhere are buying it.





You’ll find every. type of" rubber footwear in

the big U. S. line—and every one is built to

last. Always look for the U. S. Seal—~the honor





mark that millions of farmers know.
