CURRENT COMMENT





ON Armistice Day,

November 11, the





The - representatives of the

armament leading nations of the

Meeting world hold their ini-





tial meeting pursuant

to the invitation of President Hard-

ing, to discuss the limitation of arma-

ment and the vexed problems growing

out of international relations in the

Far East. Whatever the immediate

results from this discussion may be,

it seems certain that the discussions

must result in a better rinternational

understanding. Certainly if a desira-

:ble degree of publicity is given to the

deliberations of the conference it must

result in a better understanding oi‘ in-

ternational problems by the peoples of

the countries most concerned and to

this extent at least, hasten the day

when the stern court of last resort

will be less often appealed to, if not

entirely abolished, and when the race

for preparedness may be subjected to

ground rules which will in some meas-

tu‘e relieve the peoples oi” the great na-

tions from its ever-increasing burden

-of cost.

In .military circles opinions of the

possible outcome of this conference





2 are varied. The German militant mili-





tary author, Bcrnhardi, says it will fail

of its object and that the court of last

resort will remain supreme. But the

great French military leader, Marshall

Foch, made public declaration that

war is criminal and voiced a plea for

permanent peace during his visit to

Detroit this week. ()ilicial opinion is

thus varied everywhere and in every

-.country. But the vast majority of peo-

spletin every country have had their

fill of war and hope for definite results

from this conference. Whether or not

there is occasion to be sanguine as to

zresults, the mere fact that the confer—

ence is being held is a matter for con-

sgratulation. It is a practical start in

'the right direction from which bene-

tficial results are sure to be realized in

ithe future if not in the immediate





"present.

on in Allegan county.

whine” moadingaof this report might indie

pm. {to m average person that -:the

"ark is similar to the old farmers’ in-





 





stitute.“ There are, however, We air





ferences: _



The first of these is that here “is “a.

program with a definite purpose.’ iIt is

no shotgun method. The men who

are engaged 'in the instruction have .a

specific thing which they are endeav-

oring to get across. In this particular

instance it is the improvement of the

dairy business and the promotion «of

alfalfa growing. Because of the defi-

niteness of this purpose the results are

quite certain to be concrete and prac-

tical. -



In the second place, the farmer has

a better chance to present his case.

In the open forum he usually is timid

about defending his position against a

trained speaker and too often his own

practical knowledge is put to naught

While the opinionof one who may have

had but little field experience is given

preference. But :in this new school

which is held under the farmer’s own

environment he feels quite free to

speak out, and not [only that, but usu-

ally he can take the speaker to the

subject under discussion and show ex-

actly what is meant. No smooth talk

can cover up ignorance of a subject

under these circumstances. Such

schools as this will go far toward mak-

ing the scientist more practical and

the farmer more scientific. Should

these campaigns be extended to other

counties we believe the farmers will

:find it to their own advantage to “coop

erate as the farmers of Allegan have

done so generously.





HE late Governor

Hoard of Wiscon-





The Bus” sin, once defined a

Of F arm! farmer as follows:

Profits “A farmer is a man





who cultivates his

land in such a manner that it will pro-

duce the greatest crops possible for

the benefit of himself and fellowmen,

and who leaves the soil in as good a

condition for his children as when he

received it.” This definition of a. real

farmer so tersely expressed ‘by this

great pioneer leader of the movement

for a better and more prosperous agri-

culture, should afford profitable food

for thought for every farmer. While

other factors enter into profitable

farming, soil fertility is its basis, and

the man who is a good enough farmer

to conserve and improve the natural

fertility of his soil, is in the great ma-

jority of cases a good enough business

man to give due weight and attention

to these other factors in successful

farming.



When we look around us for exam-

ples of successful farmers, we will find

in every case that they are operating

on fertile land and produce good crops

more uniformly than do the less Suc-

cessful farmers in their neighborhood.



.Within recent years the cost of pro-

duction problem -has been carefully

studied on many farms in various sec-

tions of the country. These studies

have clearly demonstrated two things:

First, that economic production is usu-

ally associated with high crop yields.

Second, that it is usually associated

with diversified production. It has so

often been repeated in recent years

that big crops mean low prices, that it

has been easy to lose sight of the fact

that profitable crops very seldom re-

suit from low per acre yields. It costs

just as much to perform the necessary

operations in the growing of a poor

crop as in the growing of a good crop.

Practically the only excess cost in the

production‘of a good crop is in har-

vesting it, and even this operation is

not relatively more expensive as the





yield increases.





The lesson to be learned‘from these

demonstrated facts is plain. If we are

to be successful “farmers within Gov-

ernor Hoard’s definition, and from the

standpoint of the profitable operation

with the remedy is in the dropping of

the less productive acres from Cultiva-

tion rather than in the reduction of

the acre yield.





That Michigan farmers have a nat-

ural advantage in their opportunity for

the conservation and improvement of

soil «fertility, is proven by the fact

brought out on production costs stud-

ies as above noted; that economic pro-

duction is generally associated with

It, then,

we have failed-to produce high aver-

age crop yields, we would do well to

study this problem with a view of de-

termining wherein we have failed in

the maintenance of soil fertility and

correct our mistakes in this regard. It

is, of course, possible to go too far in

undertaking to produce maximum

yields. Extremely high yields produc-

ed at an increased cost of production

out of proportion, to the increased

yields, are uneconomic, "but few of us

reach the optimum of economy in this

regard.





N a recent conver-

sation one of Liv-





Dai

P . ry d ingston county’s

noes an leading dairymen .ex-

Prospects pressed the hope that





prices for dairy prod-

ucts would not advance greatly beyond

present values for some time to come.

The basis of his opinion that this

would be best for the dairy industry

was that the average working man

could not and would not pay much

above fifty cents a pound for butter,

and that far too many farmers even

would use butter substitutes if higher

prices were to prevail under present

conditions, thus reducing consumption

of this important food to the ultimate

detriment of the whole people as well

as of the dairy industry of the country.

When the cost of production and the

necessity of getting a price which

would cover it and leave some margin

for the producer was mentioned the

remedy he suggested was to weed out

the boarder cows and otherwise reduce

the cost of production by more effi-

cient and economic farming and dairy-

ing.



This dairyma-n is an active member

of the Michigan Milk Producers’ 'Asso-

ciation and a strong believer in effi-

cient cooperative marketing methods,

but he believes that it is ‘both undesir-

able and impractical to maintain pric-

es at a point which will stimulate ov-

erproduction [by making uneconomic

production profitable. Many, and prob-

ably a majority, of dairymen will not

agree with his views. They are men-

tioned here as a means 01' emphasizing

the fact that he intends to stay in the

dairy business and make it a profitable

business on his farm by following more

ellicient and economic methods than

the average dairyman employs. He

has a vision of the future as well as

the present, and with the rigid appli-

cation 0'f economic methods to his bus-

iness believes that it does not suffer in

comparison with that of his neighbors

who are engaged in other lines of pro-

duction.





In this View he is using good judg-

ment. The dairy business _is undoubt-

edly as good as any other line of pro-

duction at the'present time. In one

important respect it is better than

most lines. It affords a regular in-

come. Instead of getting discouraged

with the outlook and going out of the

business this is the time to cullxt‘he

herd and to produce more and better

home-grown feeds for the economic

maintenance of the cows.

building of a good pure-bred herd as a

311. R.





falfa as a forage crop for Mich— .

igan’ farms, not enough has been said a ,» . . . _ .i.





regarding its adaptability and value

for use in the regular cr0p rotation.

From the perennial nature of the plant

most of us first think of alfalfa in con-

nection with a permanent meadow. At

least that is the way I thought of it

many years ago when I was experi-





menting with it and trying unsuccess-

fully to get a stand of alfalfa on my

farm.



But two or three years after I got

my first successful stand I discovered

that the permanent meadow idea was

impractical under our conditions June

grass grows better in this crop than

anywhere else in the world, and after



1 a few years is a strong, if not success-

ful competitor for the occupancy of

the land. And after I had plowed up



- a field or two of alfalfa and put the

land to corn or potatoes I appreciated



’the value of the crop as a soil improv-



‘; er or renovator and came to the con-



’ clusion that 1111 could be seeded with

a reasonable certainty of getting a

stand it Ought to be made a factor in

the crop rotation in every field on the

farm. The successful seeding of the

crop is no longer a problem on my



. farm and for more than 9 decade since

its practical solution I have made al-

falfa a factor in the crop rotation in

every field on the farm with notable

improvement in the tilth and fertility





‘ of the soil.





At the start I mowed the alfalfa

fields four years before breaking them

up. I am new trying the plan of mow-

ing three years and am not at all sure





' that further experience will not lead to





a further shortening of the period of





-mowing, although under good methods





of cultivation the June grass will not

crowd a good seeding badly before the

third or fourth year. But the longer

the land is kept in alfalfa the longer

it must be used for other crops in the

rotation to have the acreage properly





balanced and three years seems to be





the practical limit in this regard.



I haven’t yet advanced beyond the

primary stage in this proposition of

fitting alfalfa into the crop rotation.





Michigan Opportunities Overlooked g





S an agricultural state, Michigan



has many wonderful opportuni-



ties. >Some of these are being

embraced, others are awaiting future

developments. I have traveled the

state from one end to the other for

some years and there is much truth in

the assertion that Michigan clover

crops are very much smaller than they .

were eight or ten years ago. Travel-

ing along a road, one seldom sees a

good stand of clover although an occa-

sional field of soy- beans is seen. The

alfalfa acreage is on the increase, es-

pecially in the sections where the soil

is light and sandy. In fact, the sandy

sections have made more progress ag~

riculturally the last few years than

those naturally blessed with a more

productive soil.



Taking everything into considera-

tion—~kind of roads, kind of farming

and cropping systems, it is not far

from correct to say that one out of

every six or eight acres of tillable land

ought to be in clover. However, a sur-

vey in several sections showed that

it is nearer to being one out of every

twenty-five acres in clover. Some 10-

calities will not run So high as this.

The census shows that some counties

have less than one out of every hun-





At the start I made the mistake of

trying to grow two cultivated crops in

succession without adding any more

vegetable matter to the soil, following

these with a small grain crop. This

was too much of a good thing, as it

left the soil in nearly as poor physical

condition at the end of the rotation as

at the beginning. Then I tried sweet

clover seeded in a spring grain crop

after one cultivated crop had been

been grown, this being followed by an-

other cultivated crop, which was satis-

factory from the soil fertility stand‘

point, and where enough stock is car-

ried through the summer to utilize this

cr0p for pasture this is a good addi-

tion to the rotation. Now I am tryng

another plan which brings two culti-

vated crops in successive years on the

same field, but provides for the addi-

tion of a green manure crop. A field

which was in corn after alfalfa this

year was sown to rye and this will be

given a light coat of manure and the

rye plowed down for potatoes next

spring. This is not an ideal arrange-

ment. The potatoes should have first

place in the crop rotation. But the

trouble is that the cover crop could

not be used as well, and 1111s is an im-

portant factor in keeping up the soil.

The less the land is allowed to lie fal-

low without something growing on it

the better, and the more vegetable

matter plowed down the better. So

while I am not sanguine about the re-

sults as measured in the potato crop

I am going to try this plan out. next

year and reseed the field 10 alfalfa

in oats the following spring. This will

give a maximum of utility 01' the field

with a minimum 01' labor cost, as a

six-year rotation will be carried out

with but two plowings, which is also

an important factor in good farm man-

agement.



The problem of using alfalfa in the

crop rotation is an individual one with

every farmer, and its best solution will

depend on his general scheme of farm-

ing. It is not an easy one to solve,

but from my experience I believe its

solution is well worth while. In every

case in which I have planted corn or

potatoes after alfalfa the result has

been most gratifying. The corn grown

after alfalfa this year is a splendid

I CORN 0088 AS MANURE.





 





What is the value of corn cobs on

; .. . land which is the best soil to put

' em on? They are partly rotted.—

‘D. F.



Corn cobs have about the same ma-

urial value as cornstalks, with this

inception—they do not decay any~

here nearly as rapidly as'cornstalks

rid, of course, their manurial value

3 of no benefit until they do decay.

t would make no particular difference

he kind of soil you used them on, pro-

ided the soil was in need of organic

,matter. Sandy soil needs organic mat—

' er, quite as much as clay soil. Or-

:jganic matter loosens up, pries apart

the fine particles of clay soil and puts

‘ it into better mechanical condition so

{your corn cobs would benefit either

kind of soil that needed humus or or-

anic matter and it is safe to say that

3, there is Very little soil that would not

’ be benefited in this way.—~C. C. L.





 





ALFALFA VS. CORN.





 





Do you think a good stand of alfalfa

on a good field of twelve acres will

produce as much milk as twelve acres

, of good corn, put in the silo? I am



having good luck raising alfalfa, and

‘am inclined to believe I can do away

with the corn entirely for the alfalfa

. crop. and it is much easier to raise.—

A. J. S.



There is no plant that we know of

now that will furnish as much cow

food per acre as Indian corn, and with

a silo to preserve it in, it furnishes a

succulency to the ration which is

worth more even than the chemical

analysis of the plant would indicate.



Alfalfa is a supplement crop for corn

for a dairy ration. Corn is rich in car-

bohydrates, also there is a succulency





 





while the alfalfa is rich in protein. One

helps to balance the other. Cows

would not do well on the alfalfa plant

alone, neither would they do well on

the alfalfa alone for any considerable

length of time. You want some vari-

ety. The alfalfa is very palatable and

digestible but not as much so as the

corn plant when properly preserv’ed.

On good land you can get as high as

four to six tons of cured alfalfa per

acre, but the same sort of a crop of

corn would furnish you fifteen or six-

teen tons of ensilage and fed as a sup—

plement food to the alfalfa I am quite

sure would be equally as valuable to

the alfalfa crop, if not more so. It

perhaps costs more to grow a crop of

corn than a crop of alfalfa, but we

must have a rotation of crops. You

could not grow alfalfa successfully on

the same field for a great many years

and to get the most out of it a field

ought not to be in alfalfa more than

two or three years, then it ought to be

plowed for the benefit of the land and

the soil will be so improved that it will

grow maximum crops of corn. Yes, I

believe in alfalfa, but I believe in corn

also. The two ought to go together.

RECORDING TITLES—FAMILY SET-

1. Can and should a land contract

be placed on record?



2. Can and should'a life lease be

placed on record?



3. If I deed a part of my farm to

my son and keep a life lease, could I

have a contract in connection for my

support and let him have a chance to

occupy the farm? If so, should he

fail to keep the contract what would I

have to do about it?

on contract and am receiving a cer—

tain amount plus the interest each

year; now how can I arrange this so

in case of my death it will go to the

ones I wish it to go to? Being a widow

I wish to arrange my property while

I am still able to do so. I would like

to arrange it so that I wouldn't have

to make a will.———Mrs. J. J. S;





1 and 2. Land contracts and leases

can be recorded if duly witnessed and

acknowledged. 'In order to record land

contracts it is necessary to pay a. tax

amounting to one-half of one per cent

of the balance unpaid on the contract

at the time it was executed. The only

advantage of recording is to prevent a

subsequent conveyance to an innocent

purchaser without knowledge of the

unrecorded contract, and who would

therefore not be bound by it unless

the person claiming under it was in

possession of the land.



3. Support contracts are notorious

sources of family difficulties, and are

to be avoided. The best contract in

that regard is one to pay such price in

cash from time to time as the party

getting the support can pay, or to pay

an agreed price out of the estate left.

If property is conveyed on condition

to furnish support, and it is not fur-

nished the answer is that it was ten-

dered and the old party would not ac-

cept, or was unreasonable and quarrel-

some, etc. Her only remedy is a suit

in Chancery. '



4. Such a settlement can be made,

but requires the services of a first-

class lawyer. The method is to con-

vey the land to a trustee to be held by

him subject to such uses as the grant-

or shall from time to time by deed ap-

point, and subject to and till such ap-

pointment to hold to the use of A., B.

DIVORCE. \





 





Is not the prosecuting attorney put

in by the people's votes with a regular

salary, and in such a matter as start-

ing a divorce suit, has he the right to

demand $100 for his services? A

young man was married here recently

and after getting married discovered

that the woman he had married did

not have a divorce from her former

husband, said husband putting in an

appearance and wanting to settle for

$1,000. Since then he has started di-

vorce suit and wants the second young

man as a witness. Said young man

refuses to go, as he says it is a case

of blackmail, for he has letters from

the woman’s husband wanting to settle

after they went to living together

again. What I cannot see is, why it is

necessary for -the second young man

to get a divorce from the woman as

her first husband had not secured a.

divorce. Will you please tell me if it

is necessary, and what steps he will

have to take to free himself?



The prosecuting attorney is under

no obligation to assist in divorce cases

by virtue of his office, nor in any way

restricted as‘ to the charges he shall

make in Such matters for his services.

The statute makes it the duty of the

prosecutor to appear in, and defend

against all suits for divorce where

there are children, or the court deems

it necessary; but in such cases he does

not represent or act for any of the

parties to the suit, but only for the

public.



The second marriage is absolutely

void and needs no divorce to avoid it.

The sec'ond husband, if subpoenaed.

must attend and testify.——J. R. R.

enough to take this trip.



The trip as planned will be made

MEETS TRAFFIC LEAGUE.



HE Michigan State Farm Bureau



is to assist the Michigan Traffic

League in its efforts to secure an ad-

justment of freight rates in Michigan.

With the farmers interested in this

matter through the bureau, it would

enable the shippers of the state to

present a united front in seeking relief

from what they term excessively high

rates and situations which they claim

work hardships on the shippers.



The traffic league, it is understood,

was to file a complaint with both the

Interstate Commerce Commission and

with the Michigan Public Ultilities

Commission about November 1, charg-

ing that Michigan rates are out of line

with those of other states.



Farmers have long argued that ex-

cessive freight rates have been at great

contributing factor in reducing their

business to its present state, and it is

expected that they will be in a position

to make some interesting exhibits and

comparisons if called upon to do so.





MICHIGAN WOOL INTERESTS

REPRESENTED.





 





,AMES N. MCBRIDE, Burton, Mich-

igan, was in Washington November

1 in the interests of themiddle west

states’ "wool producers when the Sen-





ing, a. _ statemen





 





ate Finance Committee opened its

hearings on the proposed wool tariff.





Mr. McBride was sent to Washing-

ton as a result of a farm bureau states’

wool growers’ conference called at

Chicago last August, when the ad val-

orem joker was discovered in the pro-

posed wool tariff after it was sent to

the senate by the house of representay

tives.





On behalf of the wool producers of

some eighteen middlewe-st farm bureau

states, Mr. McBride is asking that a

straight duty of thirty cents per pound

be levied on wool imports, scoured

basis, and that the nullifying ad val-

orem feature of the present. proposed

wool‘ tariff be eliminated.





It is said that the proposed wool

tariff went into the house committee

carrying provision for a straight duty

of twenty-five cents per pound on wool

imports, a matter that was satisfac-

tory to the producers. The manufac-

turers were, and are now, amply pro-

tected in their field. When the tariff

bill went to the senate an ad valorem

rider had been tacked on which said

that no wool duty should be’ levied

that was in excess of thirty-five per

cent of the market value of the wool

which inxface of existing conditions,

cut the twenty-five cents a pound duty

to an actual protection of three to five

cents a pound, which is no protection

HILLSDALE courrrv TUBERCU-

ILLSDALE county, Michigan, has

a ’ just completed a campaign for





the eradication of bovine tuberculosis

that has proven a. noteworthy one





aside from the fact that it is the first





of its kind ever' undertaken by any

state. ' .



Great 'credit is due the Hillsdale



County Farm Bureau, (Dr. A. Z. Nich-



. ols, president), and the Hillsdale Coun-



t , ty Live Stock Breeders’ Association,



(John W. Sims, agent), for the prepar-



ations leading up to the campaign,

gun last May, when the board of sup-

ervisors voted the salary for one full-

time veterinarian, this being preceded

and followed by a campaign of pub-

licity, through township meetings held

by these two organizations.



During the two weeks of the present

drive, a force of thirty, including lead-



. ing veterinarians of Michigan, Ohio,

Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana,

Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minne-

sota, under the general direction of

Dr. J. A. Kiernan, of Washington, and

Dr. T. S. Rich, of Michigan, (both. fed-

eral men) have examined approximate-

ly 2,500 herds, a probable total of 16,-

000 head, and representing fully nine-

ty—five per cent of all cattle in the



' county.



The eradication of the disease here

will mean not alone a clean bill of

health for the county, with its conse-

quent benefit to owners of breeding



_ and dairy cattle (statistics recently

compiled by the United States Bureau

of Animal Census show that Michigan

rankks fifth in dairy cattle, the H01-

- stein-Friesians leading), and to the

sheep, hog and poultry raising indus-

tries as well, but in addition it will

attract buyers to a section where they

can make purchases of absolutely heal-

thy stock.



Most important of all, however, is

the safeguarding of the milk supply,

that best of all foods for children and

adults. Dr. E. V. McCollum, of Johns’

Hopkins, makes the statement that



~ 5 milk ranks first in lime content, that



it is-one of the few “protective” foods;

rich in the elements essential for



’, strong bones and teeth, and that each



3 ' member of every family should drink



a (minimum) pint a day.



If, as authorities assert, it is true

that thirty per cent of all cases in hu-

man beings are transmitted through

infected milk, then the importance of



, the work can hardly be estimated.



The methods for making the tests

will be of interest to many readers.

The injections are made during the

first visit to the farm. This takes

but a few moments for the average

herd. 'At the second visit, three days



’ later, the “reacters” are separated



from the healthy animals. If the dis-





._M /





cent are scrubs. -





the cattle are' killed atfionce, the own-

ers are reimbursed to nearly the full

value—the limit of the indemnity be-

ing $100 for a pure-bred animal and

$35 for a grade cow, the expenses be-

ing met by the state and federal gov-

ernment, the federal indemnity being





what the carcass sells for and the ap-

praisement, provided it does not ex-

ceed the latter.



When one or several ”reacters” are

found in a herd, the rest being heal-

thy, a scond test is made with the

latter, at the end of six months, be-

cause of the danger of infection.



Hillsdale county has only a two per

cent rate of tubercular cattle.



Prof. H. R. Smith, of the National

Live Stock Exchange, a former Hills-

dale county man, is chiefly responsible

for the federal indemnity appropria-

tion being put through and was an ac-

tive participant in this campaign—G.





WHY IT PAYS T0 SHELTER

ANIMALS.





HAVE observed that the best pro—

tected animals thrive the best in

winter, consume less feed and fatten

in a shorter period. A fleshy animal

will withstand the cold much better

than a thin one, in fact, the fleshy an-

imal seeks the outdoors a great deal

in winter, but there are times when

it seeks the shelter of a barn or wind-

break.

An animal in poor flesh requires ad-

equate cover during the cool months,

such that it does not have to draw

heavily on its_ food supply to keep

warm. Given a warm place or a place

fully protected it will recuperate

quickly and fleshen more rapidly than

if exposed to the weather. Hogs hav-

ing a choice between a straw stack and

a comfortable hoghouse with a little

fresh bedding in it lose little time in

choosing the latter before dark of a

cold night, even though they are well

fattened. A fat steer likes to sun him—'

self .after he has filled up his stomach

but he chooses the side of a barn or

windbreak that protects him from the

cold wind.

Drafts is

where cold winds may whistle through

the building. They induce colds in the

live stock as well as in humans. Doors

can easily be arranged so' that the

barns are'not closed up tight at night

and still no drafts will be had. It is

better to have a building partly open

on one side than to have heavy drafts

through it. Adequate protection has

always paid dividends on our farm and

should do the same on others.

1111: Alum,





 





T was between my second and third

I year of college work at the M. A.



C. that I had a dream. We had

been laboring hard all the forenoon

and after the midday meal and the

completion of the noon chores, I lay

down on a bunch of hay in the barn.

I fell asleep and while I slept I' had

this peculiar dream:



I dreamed that an agricultural

school had been established on our old

farm. The dairy department of this

school was being held in the aisle

right in front of the dairy cattle.

Those who were studying swine had

their lessons in the hog house. The

professor of poultry was honorably

seated in the chicken coop, while the

farm crops and horticultural depart-

ments were respectively located in the

field north of the barn and in the or-

chard west of the house.



I suddenly awoke and hurriedly

went for my team only to learn that

I had been sleeping but ten minutes.

The dream—~well, I thought nothing of

it then, but the ‘whole picture returned

to my mind last week when I discov-

ered that such a school had, in a very

real sense, became a reality. Here is

the story of what I saw and heard last

Monday and Tuesday over in Allegan

county.



I raced into the- village of Pullman

after a two—hundred-mile drive to meet

two teams of college extension men

just returning from their forenoon

classes. They hurriedly ate their meals

and were off for the four class ses—

sions of the afternoon. The team I

accompanied drove to the farm of

John Marshall, about five miles west

of Pullman. Nine of Mr. Marshall’s

neighbors had gathered for the classes

in farm crops and dairying. Following

introductions, Mr. A. C. Balzer, of the

M. A. C., immediately opened the class

in dairying. He. fastened his chart to

a stepladder while the members of the

class seated themselves on crates in a

semi—circle about the instructor. You

will be interested in knowing the char-

acter of the work given during this

lecture hour.



What 'Was Taught About Dairying.



The restriction of the purchasing

power in our home and foreign mar-

kets was used as the basis for arguing

that farm production should be cur-

tailed. The plan whereby this reduc—

tion should be brought about is some—

what different, however, from the

plans usually set forth. Mr. Balzer

urged first, for the elimination of all

low-producing cows. Efficiency should

be the motto of not only the regular

dairyman, but also of farmers who are

keeping only three or four cows. The

bulk of our milk is produced by farm-

ers owning a half dozen cows or less,

rather than by dairymen with large

herds. In Allegan county there are

forty thousand cows. Mr. Balzer esti-

mated that perhaps one-third of these

were producing less than one hundred

and fifty pounds of butter—fat and four

thousand pounds'of milk per year. By

eliminating this third, the average pro-

duction of the remaining cows would

be materially increased and the in-

come of the owners greatly enhanced.



The method of determining the good

and poor producing cows was empha~

sized in the class work. Cowttesting

associations furnish an economic way

for culling out the boarde‘r cows. The

cost varies with the number of ani-

mals, but it usually averages about

one cent per day per cow. It requires

the cooperation of from twenty to

twenty-five dairymen to form such an





‘20 association. During the class the farm-





ers Were asked to signify whether or

not they ,would. be. interested'in. the

formation of such organizations; “

probably three or four such associa-

tions would be mrganized in Allegan

county by Mr. Bentall, county agent,

as a result of this campaign.



The second method of reducing the

number of cows is to eliminate the

tubercular animals. From two to five

per cent of'the cows in the country

are reactors. A careful survey of all

the cows in the county, like that just

completed in Hillsdale county, would

probably mean the eliminationpf near-

ly a thousand more cows from the

herds 'of Allegan' county. T is would

further reduce the bulk of milk and

improve the market for the products

of the healthy animals. The instruct-

or explained how that the state pays

one—half the assessed valuation of the

animals condemned as reactors and

the federal government pays onequar-

ter of this amount. The maximum

amount, however, from the state and

federal government is $75 for grade

cows and $150 for pure-breds.



Another method of improving the

market is to use the maximum of

dairy pioducts on the fa11.n All sub-

stitutes should be tabooed. The farm-





er, above all others, should be loyaLin

one faimer was complaining about the

low p1ices being leceived for butte1- fat

and at the same time had in his mar-

ket basket a package of oleo to be

served on his home table.



The next point urged was a wider

use of the pure-bred sire. While the

production of milk in this country av-

erages 3,500 pounds per cow, the pro-

duction in Denmark averages nearly

6,000 pounds, in Switzerland nearly

6,500 pounds, and in the Netherlands

7,000 pounds. These countries have

secured high record's largely through

the use of good bulls. In Denmark,

the government has general supervis-

ion over the sires used. Tested sires

are loaned to communities. The bull

association idea originated in Den-

mark. While the organization of bull

associations has started in this coun--

tiy, it is only in its infancy. HOWeveI,

enough has been done to show that it

is worth while for every person own-

ing cows to cooperate to the utmost in

furthering the establishment of such

organizations in every community.



The class in‘ dairying was then urg-

ed to watch the feed question. Cows

should be fed to the limit. Half-fed

cows are not profitable producers.

Furthermore, the ration should be

properly balanced. Mr. Balzer pointed

out that ten cows fed a balanced ra-

tion consisting of thirty pounds ofcorn

silage, eight pounds of clover hay,

three and a‘third pounds of corn méal

and four and two-thirds pounds of glu~

ten_feed producedfin nineteen weeks

39,393 pounds of milk which contain

1,257.3 pounds of butter-fat. Another

group of equally as good cows was fed

thirty pounds of corn. silage, three

pounds of clover hay fl

meals These cows produced 26,8398

pounds of milk which contained 897.7

pounds of butter-fat. There was a

daily difference of 10.68 pounds 613

milk and .31 pounds of butter-fat per

cow per day in favor of the animals

fed a balanced. ration. The rations

are more easily balanced and costs are

materially reduced through the liberal

feeding of legumes.



Mr. Marshall’s dairy herd. was then

inspected and good and Weak points

were pointed out to the men present.

This demonstration proved an inter<

esting feature of the lesson. .





The Class on Farm Crops.



An inspection of Mr. Marshallfs a1-

falfa field furnished the introduction

to the lesson on alfalfa. Several of the

farmers present had tried alfalfa, but

none had had experience with sweet

clover. H. C. Rather, of the M. A. 0:,

then proceeded with his talk by show-

ing that at least five_farn1ers in the

county had pioduced more than five

tons of alfalfa per ac1e this past year

when othe1 hay Clops we1e so light

that it was almost impossible in some

instances ,to gather the crop. Alfalfa

is not only a paying crop to grow, but

it builds up the land by pumping up

plant food stored deep in the soil and

making it available for other crops.



Alfalfa requires much lime. This

crop removes more lime from the soil

than several crops of wheat. Because

of this large lime content, the hay is

usually valuable for the growing of

good bones in animals. Where the soil

lacks lime, it may be suppled through

addition of ground limestone or marl.

No attempt should be made to grow

this ‘Cl‘op on an acid soil. Lime must

first be added to overcome the acid

condition. .



Mr. Rather pointed out the necessity

for proper inoculation. After a field

has grown a successful crop of alfalfa,

no attention needs to-be given to the

matter of inoculating the soil. But

whe1e the p10pe1 bacteria are lacking

even a large application of barnyaId

manule will not supply conditions for

producing good crops. Mr. Marshall

showed a patch of alfalfa which had

been successfully inoculated by sow-.

ing soil gathered from a field where

alfalfa had been growing for several

years. Inoculation can also be accom-

plished by using cultural methods sup-

plied by the agricultural college.



The next factor in successful produc.

tion of this crop is, the use of good

seed. Grimm alfalfa is highly recom‘

mended. The st1a1n has been g1 own in

Montana and the Dakotas and through

natuIal selection has adapted itself to

the rigorous winters of those states.

While the seed costs more per pound,

it requires less ‘to seed an mm. In

concluding his lesson, Mr. Rather be

lieved it possible fo1 the majority of

-farmeis to succeed in the growing of

this crop if they give proper attention

to the piepalation of a firm seed- bed,

to liming then land. to inoculation and

to the sowing of good seed.



The Generous Offer of Breeders.



Before leaving, an offer of Allegan

county breeders of dairy cattle to

trade a pure-bred bull for one thousand

pounds of. any kind of marketable

meat on hoof, was explained. The prob<

abilities are that a number of farmers

will take advantage of this most gener~

011s offer. Certainly the breeders of the

county are to be commended for their

generosity. The development of high

grade and pure-bred herds is bound to

go far toward placing the dairy busi-

ness on a more economic basis.

eighty-five cents per hundred pounds

on onions; potatoes threefourths of a

Senator Gooding, who is interested

in'the wool schedules, has prepared a.

complete schedule based on the rate

of duty of eleven cents a pound in the

grease, and. worked out carefully and

scientifically in practice based upon

percentage of shrinkage in scouring.



The puzzling question now is the

probable effect of the American valu-

ation plan. The agricultural schedules

are largely specific and not affected





by valuation standards, while manu— '





factured commodities are very largely

given advalorem schedules. Some of

the tariff experts claim that the Amer-

ican valuation will place an embargo

on these commodities.





RATES ON SUGAR BEETS RE-

DUCED.





HE public utility commissions of



Michigan and Ohio have authoriz-

ed the reduction of freight rates on

sugar beets transported in intrastate

commerce amounting to something ov-

er twenty per cent. This cut followed

hearings recently given at Lansing and

Columbus. The new schedule estab-

lished in Michigan ranges from sixty

cents a ton on hauls up to fifteen





- miles to $1.60 a ton on hauls over one





.hundred and fifty miles. These rates

are for single-line hauls. On two—line

hauls there is a charge of fifteen cents

additional and on three-line hauls a.

charge, of twenty-five cents additional.

Michigan Com Grower: Will Hattie I716 Borer to Contma’ W 12%

0‘ - y - Say: Prof: R. H. Pettz'z‘ .





LL hope of eradicating the Euro-

A pean corn borer—from North

America .must be given up, ac-

cording to R. H. Pettit, head of the

entomology department at M. A. C.

This pest, which has ravaged crops in

Canada and New England during the

last few years, now is threatening

Michigan and is certain to enter the

state within a season or two.

Excessive losses may be prevented

by restrictive measures, such as deep

fall plowing. But even then five or





,ten per cent of the insects survive.-.





“What will happen when the borer

gets into the big waterways of the

state is something of a question,” said





plant, rejecting nothing from the roots

to the tassel and boring cheerfully

right through cob and'kernels. After

a time each larvae descends into the

soil, makes a cell to pass to the'pupal,

or resting, stage, from which comes

another adult moth.



“In certain parts of the United

States thus far invaded, the insect pro

duces one generation a year; in other

parts, two generations. It may spread

to new regions through corn cobs,

roasting ears, cut flowers, celery, or

any plant with a fibrous nature. Adult

moths may fly many miles and may be

carried by the wind to great distances.

The larvae may be carried in water,

New Varieties Promise Larger Results





Professor Pettit. “So far, injury to

crops has been greater in the northern

than in southern localities. We hope

that the large corn areas in the lower

tiers of counties will not be seriously

affected. Possibly this may be so, since

most insects have some geographical

limits of distinctiveness".





Increased cost of corn production,

due to the great amount of labor nec‘

essary to keep the pest under control

is expected to be the chief result in

Michigan. This in turn will mean an

increase in the amount of labor ex-

pended on all,live stock. One encour-

aging feature: is the fact that com in-

fested, unless excessively so, does not

seem to be injured for silage.



“The corn borer has been in Europe

for some time,” said Professor l’ettit.

“It works not only on corn, but on a





'long list of other plants as well.

Among these are celery, many cut

flowers such as asters, certain root-





crops and others with a fibrous stem

similar to that of corn. The omission





. of corn from any district is not enough





to starve it out.



“A few years ago the pest was in-

troducedinto Canada. It‘spread to

Massachusetts and New York and is

now in Ohio, with a very slight toucn

in Pennsylvania. It has been found In

two little townships in the southeast

corner of Michigan. Destruction of the

corn crop in parts invaded during sev—

eral years has been severe, being only

nominal the first 'year, but becoming

more serious with the passage of time.



“The borer is carried by water, ev—

en sea water sometimes, and now has

reached the islands off the coast of

Massachusetts. It has been carried

in cornstalks floating along the south

shore \of Lake Erie until it has been

found at a point across the bay from

Toledo.



“Two insects working in corn in

Michigan are often mistaken for the

European borer. One is the ‘corn—ear

worm’ and the other is the ‘fall army

worm.’ Both have spread over the

entire state, doing immense damage,

though they are far less able to inflict

damage than is the corn borer when





.once it gets established. These other





pests will be reduced to normal num-

bers, possibly next year and in any

case the year after, by parasites. The

corn borer once established is not held

in check by parasites and we- can hope

for little aid from this source.



“The borer is a moth in the adult

floating in the cob or stalk and being

washed to new shores.





“The problem is national and every-‘





one should be urged to support state

and federal authorities in maintaining

quarantines. Restricted localities may

suffer temporarily, but these same 10-

calities may suffer more from increas-

ed prices of farm products later.”——H.





A NEW WHEAT VARIETY FOR THE

UPPER PENINSULA.

HOSE who are interested in the

introduction of varieties. of grain

of demonstrated value in Michigan ag-

riculture, may be interested in the va-

riety known as Russian Kharkov

which I recently became acquainted

with in Chippewa county. For a half

dozen years it has been grown by the

farmers in the vicinity of Pickford, but

because Pickford is many miles off the

railroad and much of the local crop is

milled and consumed locally, knowl-

edge of the success of the Russian

wheat may not be widespread. From

information gathered locally on a re-

cent visit to Pickford, it appears that

Mr. Fred J. Smith, who operates a

flour—mill at Pickford introduced. the

Russian Kharkov wheat from Kansas

about six years ago. It seems to be a

south Russian wheat, and was devel-

oped by the Kansas 'Agricultural Col-

lege. Mr. Smith informed me it had

yielded as high, as fifty bushels per

acre, one farmer last season having

gathered in some five hundred bushels

from nine acres. It is pneferred, as

to yield and quality to Red Rock,

which. has also been tried out in the

same territory. It has been tried out

along with the old Clawson wheat and

has been found to weigh up four or

five' pounds better to the bushel. It is

a fall wheat and, to obtain good results

in this latitude, seeding should be com~'

pleted between August 20 and the first-

of Septanber, which tallies with other

approved opinions in this territory.

One reason for the introduction of

this Russian wheat was its suitability

for the making of bread flour, the 10-

cal requirements for pastry flour be

ing very limited—CHASE.

advantage of the suggestion that they

ask questions or give experiences dur-

ing any portion of the program. We

have many times sat around on the

barn floor when rain had suddenly

halted a. job of threshing and told stor-

ies in about the same informal manner

that these classes were held. The only

difference is that this new i'ann school

has direction given to the program and

the stories are related because of their

practical bearing on some practical

subject.



The next meeting was held at Mr.

George Marshall’s, some three miles

distant from the first meeting. Here

ten farmers were awaiting the arrival

of the faculty. School was called in

the horse stable, or rather, in this in-

stance, the mule stable. The animals

brayed commendation to several

points made during the course of the

discussion. The trend of the lessons

was along the same general lines

'as was followed in the first session of

the afternoon. The other team, con-

sisting of James Waldron, of the M. A.

C., and Mr. Bentall and I). F. Rainey,

had in the meantime held schools at

the farms of Nels Peterson and J. K.

Barden. They reported a somewhat

larger attendance. In all, eight of these

local meetings were held that day in

the district around the little Village of

Pullman. At each of these meetings



'3 the farmers Were invited to attend a

central meeting at Pullman that night.



The latter affair Was pulled off in

the town hall. At the appointed hour

autos began arriving from every direc—

tion and before the program had start-

ed the seats were filled and a number

were obliged to stan°d. Mr. Bentall

had general charge of the meeting.

The points made in the day meetings

were re-emphasized by Mr. Waldron

,for the dairy work and by Mr. Rather

'on alfalfa growing.

the splendid things which Mrs. Camp-

appeal she urged that the fullest coop-

other agencies should be brought into

play in order that ouf‘children may be

free for natural development.





This address was followed by a mov-

ing picture showing the result of ithe

consumption of milk from tubercular

cattle. So impressive Was the program

that after the closing number the par-

ents sat in reverent meditation for

two or three minutes as a silent testi-

mony of their appreciation of the mes-

“Here, Mn, Eaton,” he said, “is the

printed pashenger 11st of the people

aboard the Tamba Maru prepared af-

ter leaving Yokohama for distribution

among the passengers. It’s unquestion.

,3ny correct. Will you point out your

name on it?”



Eaton made no move to take the pa-

per; and after holding it long enough

to give him full opportunity, Connery

handed it back to the Englishman.



“That's all, Mr. Standish,” he said.

Eaton sat silent as the Englishman, af-

ter staring ,curiously around at them

with his bulging, interested eyes, left

the washroom.



“Now, Mr. Eaton,” Connery said, as

thesound of Standish’s steps became

' inaudible, “either you were not on the



Tambu Maru or you were on‘ it, under

some other name than Eaton. Which

was it?”



“I never said it was on the Tambu

Maru,” Eaton returned steadily. “I

said I came from Asia by steamer.

You yourself supplied the name Tam-

ba Maru. ”



“In case of questioning like that, Ml.

Eaton, it makes no diffelence whether

you said it 01 I supplied it in your

hearing. If you didn't correct me, it

was because you wanted me to get a

wrong impression about you. You can

take notice that the only definite fact

about you put down on this paper has

proved to be incorrect. You weren’t

on the Tambu Maru, were you?”



“No, I was not.”



“Why didn’t you say so while Mr.

Standish was here ?”



“I didn’t know how far you had tak-

en him into your confidence in this

matter.”



“You did come from Asia, though,

as your railroad ticket seemed to

Show.”



“Yes.”



“From where?”



Eaton did not answer.



“From Yokohama?”



“The last port we stopped at before

sailing for Seattle was Yokohama—-

yes.”



Connery reflected. “You had been

in Seattle, then, at least five days; for

the last steamer you could have come

on docked five days before the Tamba

Maru.”



“You assume that; I do not tell

you so.”



“I assume it because it must be so.

You’d been in Seattlehor at least you

had been in America~for not less than

five days. In fact, Mr. Eaton, you had

been on this side of the water for as

many as eleven days, had you not?”



“Eleven days ?” Eaton repeated.



“Yes; for it was just eleven days

before this train left Seattle that. you

came to the house of Mr. Gabriel War-

den and waited there for him till he

was brought home dead!”

ed up‘at the conductor; his glance

HALL‘we start with a big, grip-



ping text? Here it is: “For this



God is our God for ever and ever;

he will be our guide even unto death,”

Psafim 458214. A friend returning from

Europe states that religion does not

have the same hold on the people that

it formerly had. "Acquainted as ”he is

with conditions in Scotland, a native

of that hand, he found to ‘his surprise

that uchmch-going is not the prevalent

custom iixt once was. Turning to Amer-

ica, we find a general slump in moral

and religious conditions. People seem

so attend church as much as they ever

did, “and in some localities, church at-

tendance is increased. Yet there is

a decided shrinking of moral standards

and of the {difference between right





and wrong. If one asks for proof of.





that, let him watch the daily papers.

They are not inspirational reading.

Added to this, is“ the widespread suf-

fering of the present time. Russia is

I‘m the throes of famine. Central Eu-

rope still feels the clutch of hunger,

while the war countries are crushed

with debt. At this juncture, many de-

clare that Gd is not a good God. The

belief in an overruling Providence, in

a God who tempers the wind 3 lo the

:shorn lamb, has been rudely shaken in

the hearts of many. They put it in the

ancient form: either God is good and

not all-powerful, or he is powerful and

not wholly good. In short, there is a

cult .of pessimism in the world, such

as has not held sway for a long time.

But let us note 2a few facts. Our in—

most natures, our intuitions tell us

that there is a good and powerful God,

who operates this world. We instinc-

tively feel that way. We cannot help

it. It is part of our nature. If it is

not so, then a large portion of the in-

stincts with which we are endowed are

false. For sound, there is the ear, and

for light there is the eye. The ear fits

sound perfectly, and the eye responds

to light. But for this great, hungry

universal longing for a true and good

God, there is only mockery. Does that

sound reasonable? The soul looks out

into blank space, and is deceived.





TILL further, God is either good or



bad. He cannot be both, and he

cannot be good at one time and bad at

another. Let us suppose that he is a.

bad -God—~—-that he hates, but does not

love, is not r‘ightoeous nor just, and

that he is a master deceiver. That be-

ing so, we find ourselves facing a pe-

culiar fact. This bad God is the cre-

ator of creatures of greater goodness

than He himself possesses. And that

would appear to be an unheard~of Icon-

edition. We do not know of anything

rising higher than its source. The

drinking fountain that bubbles all_day

on the city street is fed from a reser-

voir high up in the hills, miles away.

The river that flows past your door,

has its head waters somewhere in the

distant highlands. There is goodness

{in the world, lots of it. Where does

it come from? There are generous

folk, earnest, self-sacrificing, self-for-





-.getful people, who love righteousness





more than they love themselves.

How came they by these qualities? To

say that goodness is natural to them

is no answer, for primitive man as the

explorer :finds him, does not exhibit

these traits. ‘



This goodness comes from .a source

lhigher than itself, and that , source

must :be God. Could it come from a

bad God? Monomer, if God is bad, we

must reverse all our ideas of what is

right. Bight becomes ,wrong, and

wrong is right. Your old mother, who

taken in your estimate of her. All she

did was done in hate. .When she taught

you to pray she knew it was all a. lie.



Our national heroes, who are they?

Washington and Paul Revere, and

Nathan Hale and Grant and Roose—

velt?' Not at all. Aaron Burr is our

greatest hero, for he it was who killed

Alexander Hamilton, and then there

are Charles J. Guiteau, the slayer of

Garfield, Booth the murderer of,Lin-

coln. The Pilgrim Fathers were a set

of self-deluded fools to make the sacri-

fices they did, and Luther a servant of

the evil one for attempting to reform

the church. In short, when one starts

out with the notion that all is wrong,

and that God has lost his control of

the world, as soon as he follows this

line of thought to its conclusion, he

finds his whole plan of life overturned._





OH) is either had or good, and if



we conclude that He is bad, we

come into a blind road that leads only

to despair, death and darkness. God

is good. He is all good and all pow-

erful, and the author of all good. There

is absolutely no other conclusion that

one can reach. The men to whom the

world owes the'most have been men

who believed with all the force of their

puissant souls in a good God. The

other day I was re—reading Lincoln’s

Second Inaugural. It is, I believe. the

shortest inaugural address ever given

by a president, and it is perhaps the

greatest in all the long list. It closes

with these words: “Fondly do we

hope, fervently do we pray, that this

mighty scourge of war may speedily

pass away. Yet if God wills that it

continue until all the wealth piled up

by the bondman's two hundred and

fifty years of unrequited toil shall be

sunk, and every drop of blood drawn

by the lash shall be paid withkanother

drawn by the sword, as was said three

thousand years ago, still must it be





 





 





said, ‘The judgments of the Lord are

true and righteous altogether.’ ”

Where would the United States gov-

ernment have been, where would it be

today, if, during those fateful years of

’61 to ’65 there had not been a man in

the land who believed in an all all-

good and an all-powerful God? When

the inspired writer said that “This

God is our God for ever and ever,” he

meant that this God was good enough

and great enough to rule forever.





. OW are we to know this :God? By



experience. Men may know God,

the commonest men, or the most edu—

cated, by experience, and that is the

only way in which they will ever know

Him. What we learn of Him in the

Bible must be interpreted by each per-

son for himself. Our God is a know-

able God. But suppose a man says, “I

am not a church member, and I do not

know God," how is he to know him?

He may at least do so by looking at

people whose lives have been touched

by God. In other words, Christianity

has samples of godly people to show

the world, and it is not ashamed of its

samples. Do you refer to business?

There are Christian business men,

large employers of labor, who are the

bright spots on the dark sky of the

industrial would. Education? I have

known men who devoted their lives to

Christian education, who could have

had double or treble the, amount of in-

come received, if they had entered

some other form of educational work.

Hillsdale County Pig Club





By A/éert Dzmmerr, Jr.





0

HE Boys’ and Girls’ Pig Club of

Hillsdale has concluded in every

way its season of first year

work. The year was closed with the

capture‘of a goodly number of prizes

both in the open and pig club classes

at the state and Hillsdale county fairs.

The Boys’ and Girls’ Pig Club came

into existenCe through the efforts of

the, local farm bureau. Through this

organization, the First National Bank

agreed to lend the boys and girls the

money to pay for their pigs, with a.

fixed Late of interest. The pigs were





secured from local breeders who sold

their stock at considerable loss to

themselves in most caSes. The animals

purchased by the future breeders were

one hundred and six in number and

were of the following breeds: O. I. 0.,

Chester Whites, Poland Chinas, Spot-

ted Polands, Berkshires, Tamworths,

Hampshires and Duroc Jerseys.



Taken all in all, it was a goodly lot

of pigs which the boys and girls took

home with them the day of the farm-

ers’ gathering at Hillsdale, May 28,

1921. This wasa picnic planned by

the local farm bureau and county Y.

M. C. A. It was a. gathering for ev-

erybody in the county and also the

day on which the county track meet

was held. State Club Leader R. A.

Turner was present and gave the Pig

Club boys and girls a talk on the care

of their pigs. The day was closed with

remarks from some of the breeders

present.



Through the summer the supervis-

ion of this work has been in the hands

of Mr. H. B. Dimmers, a local young

man who had had some experience in

club work. The county board of sup-

ervisors appropriated a sufficient sum

to cover this expense.



The pig club members in diflerent

communities organized and formed

different clubs. These clubs were un—

lder the leadership of interested breed-

ers. At these meetings different prob—

‘lems and characteristics of'their pigs

were discussed with suggestions by

the leader and afterwards some sort

of a social good time. These meet-

ings helped in ‘many ways to keep/the

boys and girls interested in their

work.



One of the big events of the season

was the picnic held at the fair grounds

on August 27. Although the day was

not the most desirable, yet there was

a good attendance. In the morning

the club members played games under

the direction of one of Hillsdale’s play-

ground directors. In the afternoon

they were lead in singing by County ’





Supervisor of Music, ,Miss Eleanor

Kelley. Talks were given by three

prominent local breeders, Forest

Haynes, Andy Adams and Barney

Ramsdall. These talks were. made

more effective by demonstrations on

pigs which were secured for the pur-

pose.



The next event of the club year was

taking the pigs to the State Fair. This

meant a great deal of work, for the

pigs must all be inoculated first.

Twelve good pigs were shipped in the

same car in which F. E. Haynes’ stock

was taken. Two pig club boys accom-

panied Club Agent Dimmers on the

trip. The members expected to pay

most of their profits for freight, but

with great generosity, Mr. Haynes paid

the entire bill. The winners at the

State Fair in the different classes

were as follows:



Duroc Jersey—First, Wallace God-

frey, Moscow; 2nd, Paul Tucker, Ran-

som.



Poland Chinas.——1First, Richard Cas-

key, also first in open class and re-

Berkshires—Ethel McDowoll, Jef-

‘By Lea W.





’ I“ all the fur~bearing animals the



' ‘ fox is probably the most difficult

to catch. 'He is very cunning and shy

and only the most deceiving sets will



1 catch him.



1 First "he sure that foxes are stay-

ing or travel through the locality



l where you make your sets, for it is of

no use to make sets where there are

-no foxes.





The following water set is a good

one before freezing weather sets in:

Find a small pond and place some

‘bait in the water about a. foot from

‘ the shore. A wild duck is ideal. It

1 can be laid on a stone or other Slip-

.w port which should be about two inches

below the surface of the water. This

will hold the bait partly above water

and make it look like it is floating.

Now set a trap midway between the

'bait and the shore. Have the trap

about a half-inch under water and

place a tuft of moss on the pan. It

should be thick enough so that it will

come a little out of the water. A fox

in attempting to get the bait will use

the tuft of moss as a resting place for

its foot, and thus will step right .into





 





 





 





Another good set is «made by taking

a live rooster which should be put in

l a cage about three feet square. Hang

x it out in the woods about six 'feet from

{t the ground. Now your traps should be

. set in a circle around the cage, from

‘ . seventy-five to two hundred feet away.

The traps should ‘be set so that the

cage can be seen from them. If pos-

1 sible set the traps on top of little

}" rknolls and also on stumps. The ground

., should be dug out, and notches should

be cut in the stumps so that the traps

will 'be 'flat with sthe surface. And 'cov-

' er them with .dry material which

matches the surroundings. The roost-

er being alone will do much crowing

and this willattract foxes from a long

distance. They will be suspicious of

the cage and will not go up to it. But

they will circle around it and try to

find out what it is. In doing this they

will get on the highest places they can

{ so as to get a better view and will get

i caught in the traps which you have set

,2 there for them.





.If you know of a dead horse or cow

which has been dragged . out in a

woods, keep watch of it. If stones are

feeding on it set traps in the pathways

which lead to it. Dig the ground out

also for .these sets and cover the traps

with dry-grass or leaves.



. gil‘he .best time .to make these sets is

The wonderful success of the Boys’

and Girls’ Pig Clubs of Hill/sdale coun-

ty in their first year of work Was «due

to three things: Its organization by

the farm- bureau; its financial back-

ing by the First National Bank, and

more than .all, to the cooperation of

the county hog breeders. Any county

with these three factors present is

bound to have success in «a project of

this kind. The boys and girls will do

their share if the rest of the people,

will show an interest and back them.

up in their endeavors.

whole surroundings look natural. The

traps should be smoked in a smudge.

made from green boughs. This will

kill all human scent. Gloves should

be worn when handling them so that

they will not become tainted again, as

a fox will stay away from a set which

is scented with human odor.





WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE.





 





AST spring there was a meeting

in. an Ohio county and they ap-

pointed local leaders for Boys’ and

'Girls’ Club work. When dad came

home and told us about it, I sure was

glad. I said to him, now there’s no

getting out of it, I’m going ‘to have a

pig, not a runt or a scrub, but the best

pure-bred I can find. Then I wish you

could have heard dad squeal (and he

didn’t squeal like a. pure—bred, either)!

Here’s what he said: 0

,“Now, look here, David; I’m not go-

ing to invest money in a pure-bred pig

for you to neglect and starve, and that

settles it.” And every time I mention-

ed pig or pig clubs be Just told me to

I ’spo/se he meant for me

'to get down to work, but I didn’t have

anything to work for as there wasn’t a;

single thing on the whole farm to call.

my own except my old hat and I was

willing to do without a hat if I could

only own :a pig. '



When Dreams Almost 'Gome True.



I just couldn‘t think of anything but

that pig. :1 even dreamed about it.

I’ve heard {old folks talk about dreams

coming true, but mine didn’t come ex-

actly true, tier the pig I dreamed about

was :black and mine is white.



Well, I 'had almost given up ever

owning that pig, ‘but one evening,

May 16, a truck comes rolling up to

:our place, and out of .it comes the

zfmest purebred Chester White sow on

my lunclels damn. She «cost me $15, or

rather that’s what .she cost dad. )1 {MIL

ed her Bonny Best. "



Mother said to‘ me, David, you

don’t know that she will be the best.”

But I said she was the best I’d ever

owned, and that I was going to do my

best to make her the best club pig at

the county fair. I



David put 112 pounds on his pig in

eighty—five days, at a cost of $4.79. He

figures his summer profits, exclusive

of labor, at $30.20. ’

Odds and Ends in Time Savers





LMOST every day one learns lit-

tle helps in the daily routine of

work. One Sunday not long ago,

my family made an unexpected visit

to my sister on the farm. My brother

went out and dressed two chick-

ens so quickly as to excite my won-

der. At home we never have hot water

ready for immediate use. I asked my

sister about it and she said, “I keep

the tea kettle full of water in a place

where it will always be hot.” Since

that Sunday I have. always had my tea

kettle full of water, and hot, too.





How many of us in doing our Mon-

day’s washing finish the washing be—

fore we hang out any clothes. I always

thought this Was the only way to do.

But I have learned differently. Lately,

I have been scrubbing out the first

two boilers and flannels and getting

them all ready for the line; then with

the last boiler on the stove, and the

machine going I hang the clothes that

are ready on the line. By the time I

am through washing those clothes, un-

less the weather is rainy, are dry and

I bring them in and sprinkle them. In

the afternoon while my two little girls

are taking their naps, I iron the white

clothes. On Tuesday I have only the

colored clothes to iron and I can do

some mending in the afternoon. I find

I do not get as tired this way as I do

when I wash one day and do all the

ironng the next. '



My mother told me a. fine thing in

doing housework. Have certain things

to do every day and your work will be

twice as easy. I tried letting my work

go one week in order to get some

dressmaking done and when Saturday

came the house was in general disor-

der. I found playthings, dust and dirt

in the most unheard 'of places. It took

all day to go through and get the

house in order once more. Since then

I have followed mother’s advice and

have done the housework, dishes, bed-

making, picking up, sweeping and

dusting, and then taken time to do the

other little things that are sure to

come up. One feels much better and

more satisfied if the house is in order,

ready for any emergencies that should

arise. , .



Another time-saver which I find to

be a great help is always to keep some

kind of cold canned meat on hand for

the unexpected visitor or workmen.

Salmon is good, but I find that a two-

pound can of roast beef goes farther

and also provides gravy which may be

thickened or not, just as one cares to

do. I also have marshmallow cream

and confectioners’ sugar on my

shelves ready to~fix up a cake or dis-

guise cookies and make them appear

more appetizing. Sauce is ready in

the cellar, and also vegetables. This

leaves no cause to worry in regard to

the hurried meal and one has no rea-

son to feel that the meal was a failure

with these or similar things on hand.





If .there is an especially busy day-





ahead peel the potatoes the day beforb

and cover with water. Cook the meat

the day before and also get the dessert

ready. By. preparing. things the day





By Mrs. Merton f. Hurley





before one gets time for the little odd

jobs' that are sure to arise on a busy

day when 'everything is hustle and

bustle, ,



One more help. Baby is just be-

ginning “to creep and takes up all the

dust and dirt. Take the tops of old

stockings and cut them down a. short

way. Then sew these up and place a

rubber cord at the top and at the bot-

tom of the legs and let her wear them

around. The stockings take up the

dirt instead of baby’s clothes and the

cost is nothing.



(It is not a good thing to make a

rule 'of allowing peeled potatoes to

stand long in water, as they lose part

of their nutritive value—Ed.)





NEW IDEAS IN CURTAINS.





0 one thing adds more to the ap-



pearance of the home than appro-

priate window hangings. The effect

of handsome rugs, good furniture, pic-

tures and ornaments may be complete-

ly spoiled by cheap, cracked shades, or

curtains and drapes of inferior qual-

ity or jangling colors. It is of the

utmost importance, then, , that the

woman who wishes her home to look

well uses care in Selecting and making

her curtains.



If your roller shades have given out

and you need curtains, too, why not,

make roller curtains ,of some fabric

which will suit your pocketbook and

your room? You have perhaps been

longing for the handsome lace roller~

shades, but have- been kept from buy-

ing them by the prohibitive: cost. Util- ‘

ize your old rollers and make shades

of linen or cretonne. These, with drap-

eries which harmonize, will prove as

satisfying to your artistic eye as the

commercially made lace ones, provid.

ed you do your work carefully and

well.



In cutting your material cut the

curtains two inches wider thansthe re-

quired width when finished, and as

much longer as you need to allow for

an inch to be turned under at the top

and the bottom finish, which may be

either a deep hem, lace trimmed, or

scallops. The sides should be turned

under one inch for a hem and run on

the machine with. a loose tension. The

bottom may be finished with a hem,

through which is run the curtain stick,

or it may be scalloped and bound with

the same material or with ribbon. If

scallops are used as a finish, a casing

for the curtain stick must be stitched

on just above the scallops.





Linen shades, with drapes of a color

to harmonize with the room, or of cre-

tonne or chintz would be best for the

ordinary living-room. Shades of cre-

tonne or chintz require a large room

or a sun room. They call for drapes

of plain material. ‘



If you do not want to make roller

shades for every window, and ‘Would

like to try your skill at making a lace

shade for the door, rollers may be

bought in any house furnishing store

for thirty-five cents. The work does

not call for any especial skill, but

does demand infinite patience. To pre-

vent sagging at the edges, make the

top hem deeper at the outer corners.



In making the linen shades and

drapes there are many color schemes

which could be appropriately worked

out, but perhaps one of the most uni

usual ones is a combination of must

tard color and olive green. Other sug-

gestive color developments are gray,

and rose, gray and old blue, Chinese

blue and yellow.





WHEN YOU HANG PICTURES.



A FEW go a long way is the general



rule—that is, don’t hang too many

pictures in one room. The living-room

should contain pictures which guests

would enjoy, while the bedroom may

be hung with the family portraits and ‘

photographs of a more personal na-

ture. The shape of wall space should

be considered and pictures or prints

of similar shape or ones which to‘be-

long to that space should be chosen.

Unless a picture is hung with screws

directly on the wall, see that the wires

up tothe moulding are parallel with.

the sides of the picture rather than

forming an angle at the ”moulding.

Hang them as nearly as possible oppo-'_ ~

pressive. They are usually made



~of organdie, in a deeper shade

where the dress is light, and ofwhite

when the gown is of a. deep shade.

They are finished on the edges in var-

ious ways, hem—stitched hems, picot-

ing, buttonholing, hems, rolled and

crossed with a color, tiny hems held

down with the running stitch—a long

stitch on top and a short one under—

heath.



The collar, cuffs and vest here de-

scribed were made of white organdie

and were used on an Alice blue voile

which had flowers of a deeper shade

of blue, touched with white, yellow and

black. They were shaped like the, dia-

gram here given. The collar was about

three and a half inches and the cuffs

about three inches wide when finish-

ed. It is a good idea to cut them

from a piece of old cloth first and

see that they fit the waist, before cut-

ting th-em from the organdie. The pat-

tern of tiny roses also given, was used

in the places indicated on the first

diagram. The roses were worked in

the satis stitch (over and over), the

centers were a large French knot, and

the leaves were made of the lazy daisy

stitch. The work was done with. two

threads of the six thread embroidery

floss. The edge of the collar and cuffs

and the top of the vest were rolled in





a tiny hem and crossed with the black .





——the same finish that has been used

so much on the edge of handkerchiefs.

Lay the pieces of cloth after you have

cut them out, over' the rose design and

mark it on the cloth with a lead pen—

cil, in places indicated in first design.



The top row of flowers on the vest

is made of the three roses in the cen-

ter and one rose with its tiny leaves

at each side. The second and third

rows are of just a rose and its leaves

in each place indicated, while the last

10w has only the tlnee roses in the

cent01.



The colors used in this set to go

with the dress described above, were

Alice blue, yellow and black, the black

being used on the edges, in the center

of the flowers and for the leaves. The

roses were made of Alice blue and yel-

low, one group of flowers having the





_ center one of yellow and the two on





the sides of blue, the next group hav-

ing the blue one in the center and the

yellow on either side. Of course, the

colors used will need to blend with

the gown on which they are to be

used. .This same set was made to use

on a navy satin. The pieces were made

of white organdie, edged with Alice

blue, the center of the flowers and the

leaves of a dull yellow, the flowers of

the same blue used on the edge and a





-rich deep henna shade.

THE FARM LAUNDRY.





 





BY AGNES MILLER.





OING the family washing is one



branch of domestic life that is of-

ten drudgery, but since it is just as

necessary to our living as eating and

sleeping, it must be removed as far

from drudgery as modern conven-

iences and the housewife’s intelligence

can get it.



Since machinery is cheaper than la-

bor, a good washing machine is a good

investment. Such.machines are very

helpful for heavy clothes, and for large

washings. The wear it saves on the

clothes will soon pay for it, to say

nothing of the backache it prevents.



The machine must be kept clean,

free from dust and rust, and out of the

weather. Use a wringer. Twisting

clothes is destructive, besides the

wringer presses out much dirty water

that the hands cannot remove. Keep

the winger oiled and cleaned. The

rubber rollers will last much longer if

the, thumbscrews are loosened when

wringer is not being used.



The boiler should be largely of cop-

per. Not only because of greater dur-

ability and immunity from rust, but

also because copper transmits heat

more readily than any other metal

which is used to make boilers. The

clothesstick may be made of an old

broomstick. ‘



Most women agree that soaking all

the white articles the night before

makes it easier to remove the dirt.

Rather than spend part of Sunday

sorting over clothes, many women

have changed washday to Tuesday.

Another very good reason for break—

ing away from the customs of our an-

cestors in regard to “blue Monday” is

that as far as possible it is desirable to

mend the clothing before it is washed.

A two‘inch tear may very easily ex-

tend to ten inches in washing, hanking

out and ironing.



The garments should be looked over

for stains and the stain treated accord—

ing to the best means of removing

each particular stain, for soap sets

practically every kind of stain except

plain, ordinary dirt. If there is plenty

of soft water, a little melted soap may

be added to the soaking water, but if

one must use hard water, do not use





31 «31-11 ‘m 2.

soap, but only a small amount of some

mild softener such as washing soda,

ammonia or Whatever acts best on the

water you use. Use only “a small

amount,” for all those softeners are





chemicals, and too liberally used, they No





injure the fabrics and cause them to

wear out rapidly



In the whole process of laundering

thereis nothing as important as thor-

ough rinsing. No matter what care has

been taken with the work, if the-

clothes are not thoroughly rinsed they

will never have a good color.



Always wash colored fabrics in

warm soapsuds~never apply the soap

direct. Rinse in two or three waters

to remove every particle of soap

low cream with hot cocoa for a change.

11118 is the season of the year when

the turkey flock locks ,best to us.

There were times, perhaps, of sick-

ness and losses in their young lives

and we felt we' would never raise tur--

keys again, but now, when they come

striding home clamoring for their sup-

per, big, sturdy toms and ,sprrightly

pullets, we are tempted to reconsider.

And after all, turkeys are no more dif-

ficult to raise than other poultry if we

are willing to give them‘ equally intel-

ligent care and attention.

We have a flock that has weather-

ed the storms, escaped the hawks and

resisted disease and before they go

to market let us look them over and

make our plans for next season.



Our aim should be to breed a flock

of strong, vigorous, large and .early

maturing birds and to insure success

the first and most important factor is

to select the best possible parent stock.





In order to combat disease we must

constantly cull from the flock every in-

dividual that has not proved a breeder

of strong stock and add only the spec-

imens of best vitality.





If you have some good sturdy hens





that have produced strong poults and

have proven good mothers, do not be

in a hurry to discard themh Turkey

hens are at their best at two and three

years of age and are valuable for sev-

eral years more. 1



We usually breed for size from the

female and for color from the male,

but it is also possible to breed a line

of large birds from a. medium-sized

hen. I have in my flock an old turkey

hen that has never weighed over thir-

teen pounds. Her useful days are over

but in the flock today are her great

grandsons, weighing over twenty

pounds on the fifteenth day of October.



When wishing to improve the flock

in the quickest and least expensive

way, it is a good plan to keep the best

of their hens, select the best of your

pullets and procure from new blood

the best possible type of male to head

the flock.



In selecting the pullets be sure that

you choose the very best in your flock.

Select the well developed and rounded

body with good strong legs and feet, a

well-shaped, healthy red head with

bright intelligent eye. She Should be

quick and alert in actions but not ner-

vous and wild.



There is some risk in choosing the

very large pullet. Unless she has been

carefully bred she may prove freak-

ish, laying soft—shelled and infertile

eggs.



In case you have a very good tom,

a tried breeder

wish to keep in the flock, a very good

way to improve with new blood is to

add to the flock one or two good year-

ling hens or pullets of the above type

and if they prove good, mark and keep

the offspring





whose qualities you -





fed in deepplltter as early in the morn- '

ins-“as mam-e .





 





a. full bright eye. Avoid the bird with

the extreme large awkward frame that

is maturing slowly.



If you are just taking up the work

and must purchase all new stock, I

would advise to make the start in a

small way. One tom and two or three

hens are sufficient for the .first year.

This will give more time to observe

and become accustomed to their re-

quirements. In making the purchase,

whatever may be their other qualities,

insist that they are strong and vigor-

ous and have a. good clean bill of

health.



Carefully selecting better birds each

year will soon give you a. flock of dis-

ease—resisting birds that will material-

ly reduce—the labor and increase the

profits.





FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS.





ROPERLY balanced rations fed to



the farm flock of mature pullets

should spur production to an average

of a dozen eggs for each pullet for

each of the four winter months, No-

vember, December, January and Feb-

ruary, according to N. E. Chapman,

poultry specialist with the agricultural

extension division of the University Of

Minnesota. Requiring about four

ounces of feeddaily, the laying hen

should be given an ounce of scratch

feed for breakfast and one for supper

with two ounces of egg mash during

the day.



Successful combinations of scratch

feed and egg mash recommended by

Mr. Chapman are two parts cracked

corn, one part wheat and one part

oats, .or one part cracked corn, one





part barley, one part wheat and one





part oats for the scratch feed; and six

parts cornmeal, four parts ground

oats, four parts middlings, two parts

bran, two parts alfalfa and seven parts

meat Scraps or equal parts by weight

of cornmeal, bran, shorts, ground oats

and meat scraps for the egg or dry

mash.



“The egg mash is fed both dry in

open hopper, or wet, being mixed with





buttermilk 0r skim~milk and fed at





noon,” he says. ‘tThe scratch feed is

be given some greenstufl such as cab-

bage, mangels, rutabagas, Silage or

sprouted -oats. Grit, gravel, oyster

shells or charcoal should be acCessible.

For drink, water, skim-milk or butter-

milk should be supplied. Meat scraps

may belcut down hue-half if sour milk

or buttermilk is accessible.”





SLACKER HENS LOSE OUT.





LACKER hens have had their, in-



ing so far as the Holland Poultry

Association is concerned, as the mem-

bers of this organization have been

busy during the past few weeks culling

out the “star boarders” from their

flocks. Approximately 70,000 were

culled in one month. In one flock of

600 hens, 148 slackers were separated

and these laid two eggs in five days.



Officers of this association are as

follows: President, James DePrec;

vicepresident, A. H. Landwher; secre-

tary, Willis Diekma; treasurer, Niel

Vander Meulen; directors, Frank Whé—

Ian, Richard Boonstra, Raymond Viss—

cher, T. N. Robinson and G. J. Diekma.





A CHICK HATCHERS’ ASSOCIA-

' TION FORMED.





OR the protection of the “baby

chicks” industry and. to improve

the stock handled, dealers in day-old

chicks in Michigan have formed an as-

sociation to be known as the Michigan

Chick Hatchers’ Association. There

were thirty-seven dealers present at

the meeting held in Grand Rapids.

The following have been electd as

officers: President, P. M. Hansen, of

Muskegon; vice-president, Louis Van-

Appledorn, Holland; secretary-treasur-

e1, C. J. DeKoster, Zeeland; directors,

George Huntington, Ann Arbor; Bur-

dette Sutton, Hastings; Alex McVittie,

Caro, and Robert Christophe], Holland.

“We will attempt to put what may

be termed certified stock,” said Presi-

dent Hansen. “The day—old chick in-

dustry is rapidly expanding. It is no

exaggeration to state that the mem-

bers of this organization will sell in

the neighborhood of a million chicks a

week next season.”





Formation of such an organization ‘





had been under consideration ever

since the industry had reached such

large proportions and it had become

imperative that certain standards

must be maintained for the best inter-

ests of those whose money was largely

invested in the business—R.





 





PUMPKINS FOR HENS.





Will you please tell me whether

pumpkins will make a good green food

for chickens, also how anyone can tell

how often a. hen has been broody dur-

ing the season? I have heard there is

a way. ——H. F.





We have found pumpkins to be a

good succulent feed for hens, The

pumpkins are split in two and the

hens eat the seeds and pulp to the

outer rind. Then the rinds can be

thrown out of the litter. Pumpkins

are probably not as good as mangels

or sproutgd cats but can. be used in

moderation with good results. Boiled

pumpkin mixed with bran is some-

times given to pullets as it is appetiz-

ing and seems to help in developing

large capacity crops capable of hold-

ing the large bulk of feed needed by

heavy layers. ,



I do not know how to tell how often





a hen has been broody during a. season ,





except by banding the hen and keep-

ing a record of the number of times

she must be confined to break up the

broodiness.

I sent a year ago last spring for





,7 Brown Leghorn chickens. Now, what





I want to know is, will they lay good





next year? I have culled them out and





have lost some, but I will have about

forty next summer. They will then be

over‘two years old. .- They get the best

I have quite a number that are moult-

ing now. Are they the best kind to

keepVI—Mrs. M. H. -

It is difficult to tell whether a tw





year~old hen will be a good layer or





‘not, as so much "depends upon the





care of the hen and its breeding.

Hens that moult late are undoubtedly

the ones that are the best producers.

It might be wise for you to keep the

late moulters of your hens and dispose

of the others.





TUBERCULAR INDICATIONS.





A young pullet was accidentally kill-

ed. I immediately dressed it, but we

did not eat it, as I discovered that its

liver was full of grayish yellow bunch-

es, and there were numerous bunches

among the intestines, one as large as

an egg and one as large as a walnut.

I believe it to be tuberculosis. Would

there be such large tumorous growths

in tuberculosis? My chickens are all

seemingly healthy, having had none

die in several months. I would appre

ciate your opinion as to what is the

matter with the pullet.—Mrs. H. W.



The fact that the liver and the in-

testines of your chickens both have

the bunches you refer to leads us to





feel quite sure that the trouble is tu-





. berculosis.





Occasionally one will find tumorous

growths on the intestines which are

not tubercular, but when the liver has

the raising nodules, It IS quite a cer-

tain indication of tuberculosis. Per-





haps the disease is not far enough ad,





vanced to show any indications of

lameness or loss of flesh, which are

both characteristic of this disease.





It might be well for you to kill a

anything abnormal, take it to your lo-

If the trouble should be tuberculosis

the most advisable thing to do would

be to start with a new flock.

SEX OF GEESE.





I would. like to know how you can

tell the difference between a goose

and a gander.—C. B.





Many breeders wait until geese are

nearly mature before attempting to

classify the sexes. Then the actions

of the different birds are of assistance

in separating-them.



One breeder mports success in divid-

ing young geese near maturity by

bringing a strange dog into the yard

near the geese. The ganders at once

show fight while the geese retire in a

more timid manner, leaving their pro-

tection to the ganders. Sometimes they

can be separated by placing a boss

gander with two geese and observing

the actions. This may determine

whether the two are male or female.

The dividing up of the flock in twos

and threes can be continued until all

have been banded or the genders band-

ed and thegeese left without bands to

distinguish them.—R. G. K.





PIP.





Will you please let mg know what

causes the “pip" on a chi ken’s tongue

and what to do for it ?———Mrs. E. L.





Pip is the result of mouth breathing





I due to the closure of the nostrils by





cold or catarrh. The mucus mem-

branes of the mouth and the tongue

become hard‘ and .lry and the mucus

discharge of the mouth often forms a





m at the tip of the tongue. This

‘ '~ may crack. partly away from the ‘





exposinxthe row surface.





 





 





the cold.» This Can be done by keep-

ing the chickens in sanitary quarters

which are dry and free from drafts.

Care should also be used in giving the

hens clean food and water, .as contam—

ination from this source weakens the

vitality of the fowls and makes them

more susceptible to colds.



In removing the scale at the end of

the tongue, gentle measures should be

used. It is a good thing to keep'the

scab wet with a mixture of equal parts

of water and glycerine. After the scab

comes off and leaves the raw surface,

this surface should be treated with

some good disinfectant and then with

glycerine:





TRAVELING. BEES.





ONEY bees owned by J. Cowing,



of Jenison, compete with the

summer resorters for long distance

travel. Nearly all of his four hundred

colonies spend their winters in

“balmy” Jenison and their summers in

the cloverland of northern Michigan.

Each spring the bees are loaded into

two box cars and shipped north. They

have just made their southward trip

and instead of two cars, the home-

ward journey required three cars, the

third being filled with honey—R.





THE BLIND MAN’S EYES.





(Continued from page 460).



an overstrained girl. The thing was

done; in so far as the authorities on

the train were concerned it was known

that he was the man who had had the

appointment with Gabriel Warden and

had disappeared; and in so far as the

train officials could act, he was accus-

ed and confined for the attack upon

Basil Santoine. But besides being ov-

erwhelmed with the horror of this po-

sition, the manner in which he had

been accused had aroused him to help-

less anger; to rage at his accusers

which still increased as he heard the

sounds on the other side of the parti-

tion Where Avery was now trying to

silence Harriet Santoine and lead her

away.



Why had Avery gone at his accusa-

tion of him in that way? Connery had

had the telegram in his pocket frém

the start: of the questioning in the

washroom; Avery had seen and read

it; they could have condemned him

with whomever they wished, merely

by showing it. Why, then, had Avery

chosen to drag this girl—strained and

upset already by the attack upon her

father and with long hours of nursing

ahead of her before expert help could

be got—step'by step through their ac—

cusation of him? Eaton saw that—

Whatever Harriet Santoine’s casual in-

terest in himself mightbe—this show-

ed at least that Avery’s relation to her

was not so completely accepted by her

and so definite as appeared on the sur-

face, since Avery thought it necessary

to convince her rather than merely tell





her. And what sent the blood hot and'





throbbing into Eaton’s temples was the

cruelty of Avery’s action.





So Avery was that kind of a man!

The kind that, when an end is to be

attained, is ready to ignore as though

unimportant the human side of things.

Concurrently with these thoughts—as

always with all his thoughts—was run-

ning the memory of his own experience

——that experience of which Eaton had

not spoken and of which he had avoid-

ed speaking at any cost; and as he

questioned now whether Avery might

be one of those men who to "gain an

end they deem necessary are ready to

disregard humanity—to indict sufier-

ing, wrong, injustice—he realized that

he was beginning to hate Avery for

himself, for what he was, aside from

the accusation he brought.

Sore Teats.—I would like to know





'why my cows are troubled, with sore ‘





teats. Five of the nine cows have had

sore teats for the past two months.

Brown spots or blotches come all over

them and they must be painful for I

have to strap their legs while milking.

One of them is being sucked by her

calf; her teats are sore.





on some of them, mostly on the lower

portion of' udder. W. K., Saranac,

Mich.-——Dissclve half an ounce of hy-

posulphite of soda in a pint of water

and wet sores three times a day, after

sores heal and hard scab forms, apply

one part oxide of zinc and five parts

petrolatum twice a day. Gentle milk-

ing and the use of milking tube is a

good practice. Your cows may have

clowpox; if so, this treatment will cure

t em.





Loss of Appetite—Our pigs seem to

have lost their appetite for both food





J. F. T., Halfway, Mich—If their bow“

els are costive give either castor oil

or epsom salts; follow this by giving

powdered gentian in feed two or three

times a. day.





Rheumatism—Film on Eye—Stock-

ing—I have a black mare eight years

old that went lame on hind leg, no

swelling, but at end of two weeks she

traveled sound; however, she soon

showed lameness on opposite leg, but

limb is not swollen. She also has film

on one eye, but the other eye is all

right. The hind legs of another horse

stocks, especially when he stands in

the stable and is not exercised. He is

dull, stands with head low, and shiv-

ers. L. N., Metropolitan, Mich—Give

her one dram doses of sodium salicy-

late in feed four times a day. Blow

one part calomel and three parts bor-

ic acid into eye twice a day. Give

last mentioned horse a teaspoonful of

acetate of potash in water three times

a day, keep his bowels open and he

should have daily exercise.





Sprained Leg—Last fall my draft

Ropy Milk—About two months ago

I bought a cow; ever since I. have

owned her, we find a. quantity of slimy

stuff in the separator bowl. She has

been milking since May 1 'and is with

calf; is making nine pounds of butter,

each week now. Is the butter whole-

some? What is the remedy?

don’t seem to be anything wrong with

her udder. I. M., Charlevoix, Mich-.—

Stringy or ropy milk is due to the ac-

tion of bacteria which find their way

into the milk from various sources and

are often difl‘icult to eradicate. The

germ is sometimes carried into the

in this way, it is comparatively easy

to get rid of, as all of the milk pails,

everything used in the handling of the

HREE more sales of Poland China

7 -‘ hogs selected .from outstanding

herds of the state were' held last

week. The various animals were bid

off by their new owners at an average

,price of $40 for the three sales. A

glance through the records of auctions

held throughout the corn belt shows

that the breeders and farmers of this

state are fully as appreciative of the

- good stock which our breeders are of.

fering as are the buyers of the big hog

states, since the price average at these

three sales is as high, and in many

instances higher, than in sales held to

the south and west of us. The greatly

increased value of the dollar has natur-

ally brought down bids to correspond,

but with all things considered the out-





come is tolerably satisfactory and the

breeders should not in any way be de-

pressed by the results of the 1921

sales( -



Certainly there are few institutions

where the desirable type ,of animals

are better taught to the average per—

son, as well as the aspiring breeder,





 





than at the pure-bred live stock sales. -





Here animals usually sell on their mer-

it. The observer can closely associate

quality and price. If for no other rea—

son the progressive farmer should

count it a privilege to attend these

auctions to better acquaint himself

with the points that characterize su-

perior animals. The sales this past

week have without doubt been unusu-

ally successful from an educational

standpoint.

Hfillcrest Farm Sale.





The choice tried sows, fall yearlings,

spring gilts and spring boars offered

by F. D. Lay and Den Bleyker Bros,

at their farm north of Allegan, sold for

an average of about $35 per head. This

sale was topped by Bobs Wonder

Belle, a tried sow sired by Hillcrest

Bob and out of Wonders Belle. She

was sold to J. Schrotenbun, of H01-



- land, for $85. Eighteen other animals

sold at $35 and above. Four boars av-

eraged $40 each. A number of farmers

took advantage of this sale to estah

lish pure-bred herds or to increase the

number of pure-breds by adding ani-

mals from this outstanding offering.





Wesley Hill’s Sale. \





This sale shows one of the best av-

eraged of any of the Michigan Poland

China sales held thus far this fall.

' Forty-four head sold for $1,958.88, or

an average of $44.52 per head. Two an-

imals brought better than $100. One

of these was a smooth, strong-backed

sow built straight on all fours and pos-

sessing splendid individuality. She

was farrowed. by Princess T. and

World Beater, and was sold to Wm. I.

Wood, of Birmingham, for $130. The

other was a yearling gilt out of a mat-

ing of The Clansman to Miss Colum-

bia. She went to E. C. Clark, of St.

Louis, Michigan, for $115. Jacob Gless,

Alto, Michigan, bid of]? a most desir-

able 'gilt, out of Clansboy and Quality

Miss, for $92.50. W. I. Wood also se-

cured a much admired spring gilt of

Emancipator and Yankee breeding for

$75. A boar of this same litter was

sold to Harry Wardlow, of Montrose,

Iowa, for $55. Another gilt from Or-

ange'Wonder and Lady Belle was sold

for $70 to A. G. Krum, of Lowell.





The Sale of W. Brewbaker & Sons.





On Thursday afternoon the choice

offering of this firm was sold at their

farm west of Elsie for an'average of

better than $40 per head. The highest

price paid was for a spring bear, the

son of Extra Long Jumbo, probably‘

the largest sow in the state, and Gerts-

dale Tim. Archie Ward, of Brecken-

ridge, was the lucky bidder, taking

this prize for $100. Five fall gilts

from this same cross were sold for

$231. H. Peters, of Elsie, took his

choice for $66. Anotner spring litter

from the same sire, mated to Dame

Fashion and consisting of four boars

and three gilts out of a litter of ten,

sold for a total of $240. A spring boar

from Noble Ruler and Bell Gladiator

went to H. Arnold, of St. Louis, for $35.

A. Gregory, of Ionia, came into posv

session of a spring gilt from Brewbak-

gg’ls Giant and Gerstdale Lady 4th'fior





These three sales were most ably

conducted by Auctioneer Col. Harry A.

Eckhardt, of Dallas City, Illinois. He

was assisted in the Wesley Hill sale

by Col. E. E. Slye, of Ionia, and in the

vBrewbaker sale by Howard Ridenour,

WHEAT





The wheat market decline has now

passed through the eighth consecutive

week. Prices are about 35 to 40 cents

lower than the high point of the sea-

son but the market appears as weak

as when the decline started. In spite

of the big decline which has taken

place, buying for export, including

both the United States and Canadian

wheat is not gratifying although mod-

erate quantities are being taken. Pri-

mary receipts in the United States

have fallen off sharply but shipments,

from the same markets have declined

also. Canada is congested with wheat

although it is believed that most of

our surplus has been ‘disposed of. Can-

ada and the United States have enough

wheat to supply the world’s require-

ments for five months. By March, at

least, Australia and Argentina wheat

can reach European ports. After the

long continued decline, an upturn in

wheat would be only natural, but un-

less some change takes place in the

character of the reports as to world’s

import requirements or export sur-

pluses, wheat prices will not make

much progress upward.





CORN





The War Finance Corporation has

approved the appointment of a com-

mittee to work out plans for storing

surplus corn on a large scale in order

to relieve the market from the burden

under which it is now laboring. It is

anticipated that bonded warehouses

will be established at numerous ship-

poing points and advances made to

growers of a major fraction of the

market value of the corn stored. Such

a plan undoubtedly would exert a fav-

orable effect on the market but would

not advance prices to an unreasonable

level. To make the plan successful

ultimate-1y there must be a reduction

in future yields brought about either

through a crop failure or reduced





acreage.

SEEDS





Timothy seed prices have been grad-

ually advancing in the last few weeks.

The bureau of markets reports that 80

per cent of the crop has left farmers’

hands. Exports of timothy seed dur-

ing August and September were the

largest on record for those two

months. The cloverseed market is

passing through the season of heavy

receipts and prices arelov'ver but have





MO? 03111





- held, up fairly well ‘when'ihe lack of"

» ' of deals





 

 





«.31;

m.’





and seedmen is considered. But little

improvement in prices on any of these

seeds is probable until actual spring

demand has started.





. OATS





The oats market is following corn.

A visible supply of about 70,000,000

bushels 1n the terminal markets is the

feature as it is a complete offset at the

present time to a prospective shortage

as a. result of a small crop. Improve-

ment in prices must wait until con-

sumption begins to overtake the avail-





able supply. ..

' FEEDS





Demand for feedstuffs from dealers

who were endeavoring to accumulate.

supplies in fear of a rail strike has.

subsided and export demand for lin~

seed and cottonseed meal has declined

so that the market is weak throughout

the list. Offerings of wheat feeds in

the southwest are lighter but are fair-

ly heavy from the northwest. Weak-

ness in the hog market has undermin-

ed the demand for middlings.





HAY





Large quantities of hay were loaded

in the producing districts in order to

beat the railroad strike to market so

that supplies'at present are in excess

of requirements. Demand is inactive

with eastern and southern markets do-

ing little. New corn is available on

farms in the corn surplus states at

prices ranging from $5(a‘8 per ton.

This compares with No. 1 timothy hay

at $23 in Philadelphia and $22 in Chi-

cago. No. 1 alfalfa is bringing $19 in

Kansas City. ‘





BEANS





Prices for Michigan beans declined

slightly last week. For prompt ship-

ment the f. o. b. Michigan shipping

point price is $4.40 per 100 pounds for

choice hand-picked white beans. Both

demand and receipts are light. No dif-

ficulty in filling sales throughout No-

vember is anticipated. The Michigan





crop is about 2,550,000 bushels, or 1,-

000,000 bushels below that of last year.

The pickage is heavy, still further re-

ducing the supply. Red kidney beans

are quoted at $7.50 per 100 pounds f.

o. b. Michigan shipping points. New

York, and California red kidneys are

about $1 cheaper so that few are mov-

ing from Michigan. The high premium

paid for red beans when canned'goods

were in demand has resulted in an in-

creased acreage and some trade ob-

servers think that prices of red and

white stock will come much closer to-

gether in the next f‘éw months.





WOOL '





Wool prices have been making a

gradual ascent since last June. At the

auction of government owned wools

at Boston .last week, a large offering

was sold at advances of seven and a

half to ten per cent above the October

sale. Foreign primary markets reflect

the upward trend, merino wools at the

London sale closing about 15 per cent

higher than in September, while cross-

breds were five per cent higher. Con-

sumption of wool by American mills

during September was 54,648,000 lbs.

including 8,986,000 pounds of scoured

and pulled wool- which would add ma-

terially to the grease equivalent. If

the present rate is maintained, the

wool surplus will be disposed of rap

id y.





POULTRY AND EGGS ’





The preliminary report on cold stor-

age holdings of eggs showed a larger

total than was expected by the trade

based on observance of changes at the

four leading markets, due to the fact

that stocks were moved from these

central points to some of the lesser

cities in order to be prepared in the

event of a railroad strike. Prices of

fresh eggs have advanced into still

higher ground and storage eggs have

been moving more freely as a result.

Poultry prices are gradually dragging

lower. Receipts of dressed poultry in

' BUTTER



With the cancelling of the railroad

strike order, demand decreased'sharp-

ly and some purcrasers who had ae-

cumulated a reserve offered it for

sale. Receipts have been running

rather large ;- creamery reports indi-

cate a heavy increase in the make over

the corresponding period of 1920. - The

decline in the market has made it diffi-

cult to yend receipts of Danish and

Canadian butter but imports continue

and Australia and New Zealand are

making offers to New York.



Prices for 92~score fresh\butter are

as follows: Chicago 44c; New York

461/zc. Prices at Detroit for fresh

creamery in tubs are 37@40c.





. POTATOES





In spite of a reduction of about 20

per cent in the potato crop under that

of 1920, shipments for the season up

to October 29 totaled 119,599 cars as

comparedwith 94,992 cars to the same

date a year ago. Supplies have been

heavy most of the time during the last

month with demand none too aggres-

sive. Prices, however, have not lost

much ground. Northern round whites

are quoted at $1.35@1.65 per cwt. sack-

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

shipping point prices are around $1.85.

Prices in ‘consuming markets range,

from as low as $1.55 per 100 pounds

on middlewestern markets to $2.15 per

hundred pounds in eastern cities.





GRAND RAPIDS





Cooler weather has increased the _.





flow of hogs to market. Most of the

farmers are dressing their hogs at

home, only a. few of them being sold

on the live weight basis. The move-

ment of potatoes and apples has slow-

ed up. Buyers for the past week have

been waiting for the federal crop re-

port and this has inclined to give the

potato market a sluggish trend- Good

apples are scarce and the market is

stronger. Prices are as follows:

Vegetables—Potatoes 900@$1 bu;

dry onions $2@3.50 cwt; cabbage $30

@40 ton; turnips, rutabagas, beets,

squash and. carrots 50@75c bu; celery

15@500 bunch; fancy celery $1 box;

Fruit—Apples, fancy white at $2.50

APPLES





Although the apple crop shows a:

heavy decrease below that of last year;

shipments of apples to October 29 tm

talled 48,734 cars compared with 54,-

044 cars ot the same date a year ago.

Prices on A2174 Baldwinsart still hold-

Niel-”11133111 POTATO PRIZE .wm.

NERS. \



ICHIGAN potato growers .made a



mast remarkable showing at the

International Potato Exposition at pu-

luth, Minn., where they captured the

lion’s share of the premiums offered

on Petoskey Golden Russet potatoes.

The twelve-peck exhibit shown by the

Wolverine Cooperative Marketing As-

sociation of. Cheboygan, won the inter-

national prize. In addition to this dis-

play they also took nine out of ten

prizes offered for one-peck lots and

also the sweepstake premium in this

class. The first three prizes in the

one-peck class were won by Lee E.

Sneathen, of Charlevoix, first prize

and sweepstake; J. Fred Brudy, second

prize; E. Sutton, of Central Lake, third

prize.



Several minor premiums offered also

went to Michigan exhibitors who were

competing against some of the finest

samples grown in every potato state

in the coutry.





The Michigan exhibit was in charge

of County Agent D. B. Jewell, of Che-

boygan, who had collected the pota-

toes through the county agents in An-

trim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Presque Isle,

Benzie and his own county.



Michigan’s entry was made possible

through the cooperation of the Michi-

gan State Farm Bureau and the Mich-

igamState Potato Growers’ Exchange

at Cadillac, which defrayed all the ex-

penses.



D. L. Hagerman, agricultural agent

for the Grand Rapids and Indiana div-

ision of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at-

tended the show. He announced, fol-

lowing the awarding of the premiums,

that he proposed to take the prize-win-

ning Michigan potatoes on a tour of





Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvan-i





in next winter to be exhibited in coun-

ties where certified seed potatoes were

shipped last spring for experimental

purposes—R.





 





' A NEW ALFALFA FOR MICHlGAN.





ARDIGAN alfalfa, the. newest



achievement of Prof. F. A. Spragg,

plant breeder,” may become the basis

of an alfalfa seed industry for western

and northern Michigan. After ten

years of careful selection work and

thorough field tests, he has announced

that it shows much promise as a. Mich—

igan crop.



A successful method of handling

Hardigan for seed in Michigan has

been worked out within the last two

years by Olaf Nelson, a farmer in Che-

boygan county, in cooperation with the

farm crops department at M. A. C. He

planted on fall-plowed 10am which was

disked in the spring and leveled and

packed with a heavy float. On April

26 he planted one pound of seed to the

acre in rows twenty-eight inches apart.

After being cultivated three times and

hoed and weeded once, the second

crOp was taken for seed September 10.





One acre of Mr. Nelspn’s six-acre

plat was a second-year crop and yield-

ed between five and six bushels of

clean seed. The other five acres,

planted this spring,/ yielded twenty

sacks of eighty-seven pounds each

which, when cleaned, will make ten to

twelve bushels of seed.-—H.

Yepl I‘ greased the plow last time

I put it away and it scoured fine when

I’ve learned better than to tell a. pol-

Unemployment isn’t bothering us

farmers any. Soon be time for spare-

-ribs, sassingers and buckwheats. G0

The whistle slave is worse off than

'the farmer’s dog. When the farmer

,whistles the dog comes, but when the

already there.



November is the month wife and I

fish for a dinner invitation and wind

up by having half our relations for

Thanksgiving dinner. I always buy

goose as it is so appropriate.





November is the month for the town-

ship highway commissioner to “Fix”

the roads so thatthey will be all but

impassable during the winter. It’s done

by grading a lot of loose dirt to the

Center.





 





   





Our school board turned down a

proposition to put in a new floor and

new seats. They said “that floor and

them seats were good enough for us

.when we went to school and they are

good enough for children today.” That

argument was first used by Adam

when Eve asked for a patent apple

peeler.





Corn worms are good for something.

’1 hauled my corn to the barn and husk-

ed it there. The chickens gobbled the ’

, worms as fast as I shelled them out.





Ever taste any pear cider? We make

it down our way. It’s great stuff when

.new and great guns when old. Jed“

Perkins drank a couple of glasses of

old stuff just before chore time and

tried to milk two cows in the same

stall. He only owns one so it didn’t

work very well.



Our schoolma’am held a mothers’

meetin’ last Friday. Three old maids

and a grass widder were the only ones

to come. They discussed child raisin’.

We older ones were raised on strap

Oil and beech rods and we turned out

purty well even if we didn’t get to be



«president.





 





Remember ’way back when we used

to yoke up Buck and Bright and go to

protracted meetin’? Up around Bel-

laire they still tell the story about Ole

Olson. When the evangelist asked him

whether he didn’t want to work for

'the Lord he replied: ”No, no! I get

saxteen dollars a month and eat my-

self.”
