“My Dear Sir:



“I am a. farmer, you are a manufac-

turer of some mighty good farm im-

plements. Before the war I could buy

your best farm wagon for $80 and all

the rest of youl implements in propor-

tion, including the best team harness

for §55. Now these p1ices me almost

if not three times as high as the p1ic-

es before the war, at least two and a

half times as high. My corn is worth

less than befo1e the war, likewise near-

ly everything the farme1 has to sell.

You say that you are selling on less



. profit than before the war, which I do

not dispute, but pray tell me 110w and

when are these prices going to be ad-

justed so We can go ahead and buy

the implements that we need. We

farmers have a little money left from



' the high-priced period but it will soon

be gone, and then what?



“I need a wagon and my dealer

Wants the price of 650 bushels of corn,

the same wagon I could buy with 200

bushels of corn, before the war. The

harness man wants the price of a

wagon load of hides for a No. 1 har-

ness. I simply cannot see my way



/ clear to buy wagon, harness or any-

\~ thing, else that I can possibly manage

to get along without. I wish you would

have one of your best posted m-en ad-

vise me when we are going to get back

to normal conditions again. It looks

serious to me.

the same relation to the pre-war price,

for the reason that in 1914 the freight

on a farm wagon from Moline to Cul-

bertson was $1.37 a hundred; the pres-

ent rate, including the war tax, is $2.32.

“A farm wagon Weighs 1,200 pounds.

The difference. in freight of ninety-five

cents per hundred makes the transpor-

tation on this wagon alone cost, $11.40

more than it did before the war. The

increased transportation costs upon

the materials that go into the wagon

are even greater than this amount.

“When you come to pay for this

wagon through the sale of corn in the

Chicago market, you have a still great-





to get back to a normal basis of price

until the cost of transportation is very

materially reduced. You ask us when

conditions will change; we tell you,

when transportation costs are gotten

back upon a reasonable basis. The

great difficulty in getting this adjust-

ment now is the expense the railroads

are put to for labor; for example, here

in this community, while the going

rate for labor is thirty cents an hour,

at the Rock Island shops forty-three

How It Happened





BOUT a month ago the members of the Agricultural Publish—

Association were invited to attend a conference with a

committee of the National Implement Manufacturers’

ation, for the purpose of discussing the agricultural and business

At this conference Mr.

presented a statement to the publishers present, showing the effect

of increased freight. rates on the cost of agricultural implements as

measured in the greatest cash product of the corn belt, which was

the result of an analysis prompted by correspondence with a west-

mittee relating to the railroads in a. future

will be of greater interest to the reader from the fact that it is

being used by a general committee, including Mr. Todd and Presi—

dent Howard, of the American Farm Bureau Federation in its mem—

bership, in attempting to secure a further downward revision in -

er disadvantage, due to the fact that

corn has declined since 1914. The

freight on corn from Culbertsorf to

Chicago in 1914 was twenty-four and a

half cents a hundred, or approximate-

ly fourteen cents a bushel; today, with

the three per cent war tax included, it

is forty~seven cents a hundred, or ap-

proximately twenty-six cents per bush-

el, so that you pay twelve cents a bush-

el more to get your corn to Chicago

than you did in 1914.



“You state that it requires 650 bush—

els of corn to buy a wagon today. At

twelve cents abushel increased freight

this means that you are paying the

railroads $78 more transportation on

the corn necessary to buy this wagon,

therefore your increased contribution

to the railroad company in getting this

wagon out there and shipping corn

enough to Chicago to pay for it, is

$89. 40. ‘





 





'iment is being so aroused that

“You can well see from this that it .‘





even though it, be ten~111inutes, five

hours’ additional compensation is

charged. Locomotive engineers are





getting from $3,500 to $5,000 a year.

A good deal the same condition main—

tains in our coal mines.



“We all must; work, through our cou-

gressmen and through a united public

sentiment, to secure a readjustment of

these railroad and mining costs before

any of us can hope to resume business

in a normal way. As far as we here

are concerned, we have. ali'rady made

substantial reductions in our prices

and expect to continue to do so in fu-

ture as reduced costs of production

permit. we are continuously operat-

ing at a very substantial loss. The

business world, outside of transporta-

tion and mining. has gone as far as it

can until it gets relief through these

channels. We believe that public sent-

es of transportation to the basis that ,

other labor is securing, and when this 9'

occurs you will see a readjustment in

costs which will be most material. '



“In conclusion, let me say that I

have an abiding faith in the ability of

the American people to readjust these

matters. \Ve have just been through

a world-wide war that has caused end-

less destruction of life and property

and it takes some time to get over

such a serious trouble. At the begin-

ning of the war farm products went up

much faster than the. products of labor

and for a time the farmer had all the

best of it. In the readjustment period

after the war, which we are having

now, the reverse is true. It. is going to

take some time to get labor costs re-

adjusted to the new plane of living so

that the farmer’s purchasing power

will be relatively what it was before

the war. Things are going to get bet-

ter from day to day and we are all

facing the future with optimism, know-

ing that this readjustment is going to

be a little slow in coming but confi-

dent that it, will finally work out in

the right, way.



“Please understand that the farmer

is not the only one who is bearing bur-

dens now; our own losses in the busi-

ness this year will be, greater than the

profits of any year during the war,

nevertheless, it is our purpose to “car-

ry on,” believing that our country is

sound and that ultimately all things

will come out in the right way.



“Yours very truly,



(Signed) F. R. TODD.”



”In analyzing the condition at Cul-

bertson, Nebraska, we took four typi-

cal farm implements which fairly rep.

resent the, equipment of the average

American farm. These four imple-

ments are—gang plow. farm wagon,

grain binder and corn binder.



The following table shows the com-

bined price of these implements, and

other data connected with their pur-

chase. wilh corn, by the farmer at Cul-

bertson. It shows the pre-war condi-

tion on August: 1, 1914, and the condi-

tion on November 1, 1921, but reflects

the freight reduction of ten per cent ,

on agricultural products, ordered by

the Interstate Commerce Commision

on Decembel 3, 1921.



In making this analysis we have, on

the dates in question, taken the raw ‘

material necessary to make the imple— ‘

ments under consideration from the

mine and forest, transported it to M0

line, Illinois, transported the finished

implements from there to Culbertson;

Nebraska, determined the amountof _ ;

HE analysis of the

freight rate Situ-

ation as it relates to

the purchase of farm

implements, which

appears in this issue,

should be carefully read by ,every

Michigan Farmer reader, as should the

analysis of the railroad situation by

another member of the same commit-

tee which will be published in the

next issue. A correct evaluation of

these analyses should materially aid

the reader in getting a better under-

standing of the involved railroad prob

lem, which is one of the most import-

ant of the many national problems

awaiting adequate settlement at the

present time. '

In making-a correct evaluation of

this analysis the fact should be taken

.. into consideration that the farm prod-

uct taken as its basis is not to any

extent a cash crop in this state. Most

of our com is sold in the form of ani-

mal products. But this was the basis

of the original analysis resulting from

the'letter of a western farmer whose

principal cash crop is com and the

analysis was applied to Michigan on

the same basis, thus affording a paral-

lel comparison. This comparison shows

8 superior natural advantage of

Michigan farmers as compared with

western farmers from the standpoint

of location, and when the further ad-

'they do the prosperity org-every turmer-

United States to a. varying degree, de-

pendent upon their location and the

character of the products which they

produce for sale in the open market.



The analysis of the railroad situa-

tion which ”will be published in the

next issue will show that notwith-

standing the enormous increase in





freight charges as compared with pre-'





war rates the net return of the rail-

roads has greatly decreased, reaching

almost the vanishing point last year

after their return to private Operation,

to say nothing of the enormous deficits

which piled up during the period of

government operation. These analyses

point out the apparent fact that this

situation is due in large measure to

the so—called “National Agreements”

regarding wage scales and working

conditions entered into with the var-

ious railroad labor unions during the

period of government operation and

carried out by a government body un-

der the terms of the transportation

act since the. return of the roads to

private operation. It was, of- course,

to be expected that railway labor

costs would advance in proportion to

labor costs in other industries during

the war and post-war periods. But in

addition to this normal advance it is

charged that these adjustments were

made, in many cases, upon an unfair

basis, such as the application of living

costs in great centers of population in

fixing wage scales for the entire coun-

try, over most of which these costs

did not obtain. It is still further charg-

ed that these agreements as related to

the class of work which should be

done by different classes of employes

greatly increased the number of e1n~

ployes lequired to perform simple

tasks and in many cases changed the

classification of workmen so far as to

greatly increase labor costs.



The statements contained in these

analyses are vouched for by the mem-

bers of the committee who made them

and further data presented will be

taken from authentic and responsible

sources. We regard it as highly es-

sential that thefarmers of the coun-

try have all available information on

this subject at their command, to the

end that their conclusions regarding

the solution of this vexed problem

which is of

country at the present time may be

well founded upon accurate premises,

hence the presentation of this analysis

and other data which will follow it,

together with the history of its devel-

opment and preparation.

Feed Cows their milch cows to

Production is being taken in the

balancing of rations,

not so much to save feed as it is to

enable the animals to turn out the

largest volume of butter—fat. Silage,

legume hay, corn, oats, bran, and a lit-

tle oil meal, or other concentrates, are

being used in carefully determined

proportions to require no handicap of

the animals in production work.



The reason why these men are

crowding their herds is plain. Prices

received for dairy products are rela-

tively much higher than can be secur-

ed for the feeds used. It is the old

proposition of manufacturing with ma-

terials at lost cost and a good market

for the output. The results in this

case, particularly where good cows are

being kept, are in sharp contrast to

the comparatively dull times and these

dairy feeders are pushing the animals

to the limit in order to “make hay

while the sun shines.”

dred and twenty-eight cows of average

cents for each bushel of corn, twenty-

nine and one-half dollars for every ton

of silage when butter-fat is bringing

thirty-five cents per pound. These fig-

ures do not take account of the labor

required to care for the cows, neither

do they consider the skim-milk, items

which will nearly neutralize each oth-

er. The findings suggest the possibil-

ities open for the man with reasonably

good cows and "a word to the wise is

sufficient.”





\





HERE are two



I kinds of stickers

The Man ——those who stick in

Sticks stick to purposes. The





rut sticker gets no-

where, while the purpose sticker ar-

rives.





.





There are many notable examples in

Michigan agricultur which show the

value of sticking to a plan. In fact,

most all of “Our successful farmers

have as a foundation for their success

a plan well laid to which they stuck

through thick and thin. For lack of

space we will recall only one—the

Woodman family in Van Buren county

who have averaged over three hundred

bushels of potatoes to the acre for the

last fourteen years.





In Ohio they have a Hundred-bushel

Corn Club which qualified six farmers

this year. The winner has a two—years’

average of 112.18 bushels and two oth—

er honor men have threeyear averages

as follows: 104.61 and 102.36 bushels

per.acre., Are not these averages to

be proud of, considering off years and

everything, and do they not show the

value of sticking?





May we suggest if you have no defl-

nite plan Tor your farming that you

consider impartially the factors involv-

ed, such as soil, location, climate, etc,

make a plan to the best of your abil-

ity, and then stick to it?



“’9 offer this suggestion because we

believe it is as necessary for you to

'have a plan to follow for building the

foundation and superstructure of suc-

cessful farming as it is for the builder

to follow the plans of the architect.

Evchange ern Michigan into a





large fruit exchange

similar to the Michigan Potato Grow

ers’ Exchange were taken at Benton

Harbor on December 22. Growers from

about a score of counties, from Berrien

to Grand Traverse, attended the con-

ference called by the Michigan State

Farm Bureau, and the extension de-

partment of the Michigan Agricultural

College.





Sentiment was unanimously express-

ed in favor of federating the associa-

tions into some kind of an organiza-

tion to obtain more efficient distribu-

tion of fruit and greater profits to the

growers. Plans discussed indicated

that the formatibn of a fruit exchange

similar to the potato exchange would

be acceptable. No definiteaction was

taken but a committee was appointed

to consider the project. Each market-

ing association in western Michigan

was invited to elect two delegates to

the committee which probably will hold

its first meeting the third week in Jan-

uary, possibly on the nineteenth, at

some place designated by the Michigan

State Farm Bureau.





If a fruit exchange is formed, there

is a possibility that it may affiliate

with the Potato Exchange in hiring

one central sales agency to sell the

products of the two great organize;

tions. It would also probably estab-

lish some reciprocal arrangement with

the other 1M organizations.

is unfolding step by step. There is '-

now a deep conviction that the chop

erative organization can compete in

every way with the private concern.



This conviction persists in spite of.

the checkered history of cooperative

enterprises. Gradually producers have

been enlightened through their own

and others experiences on the sound

principles of mutual effort. In all our

es where cooperation has succeeded,

success has been due to economy—

—~economy either in preparing for mar-

keting, in distribution, or in both.



These demonstrations reassure the

conviction that this plan will ultimate-

ly survive. But there are many tests

yet to come and these, too, will be

fought out on the platform of econ-

omy. It therefore behooves us to take

particular pains to have this economy

plank made unusually strong.

_ HE field of potatoes shown in

the accompanying illustration

was grown in Van Buren county



'by John and David Woodman. The

soil on" which the crop grew is a medi-

um to light sandy loam underlaid with

sand; a soil type common in, south-

western Michigan.



111- 1918 the field which previously

had been limed grew’a crop of rye,

and was seeded to mammoth clover

-and orchard grass. In the latter part

of the summer of 1919 the field receiv-

ed an application of from eight to ten

tons" of manure to the acre. In the

summer of 1920 a second application

of about the same amount was given.





 





drag, Three or four days later, the

potatoes came up showing ninety-four

per cent of a perfect stand.



The crop was cultivated August 1 to

3 and again August 10 to 13. No fur-

ther cultivation was given. It was

sprayed three times. The writer

“rogued” the field twice, taking out

undesirable hills. October ,13 afrost

injured the tops to some extent, but

the stems and the larger portion of the

foliage of the plants remained green

up to the latter part of October. The

potatoes were dug the last of October





 





The Three-hundred-bushel-per-acre Field in September.





Through this top-dressing the orchard

grass which succeeded the clover

grew, furnishing the thick luxuriant

rsod which is the ideal foundation for

a. good potato crop.



The field was plowed about May 10.

During the next seven weeks it was

rolled, disked and harrowed four times

with a spring-tooth drag. The crop

was- planted the early part of July,

whole seed weighing one and three-



' quarters to three and one-half ounces

' was used. At the time of planting it

"was treated with corrosive sublimate.

About twenty-seven bushels were

' planted to the acre. Eight days after

the planting, the field was harrowed

twice, diagonally, with a spring-tooth





and the first of November. A yield of

approximately three hundred bushels

to the acre was secured.



In 1914, Petoskey Rurals for plant-

ing were purchased in northern Michi-

gan. During that summer, the writer,

working under the instructions of Mr.

C. W'. \Vaid and Dr. G. H. Coons, of

the Agricultural College, made a care-

ful seed collection from this crop.

From this “Hill” selection there has

been evolved a type of Petoskeys with

strong vigorous tops: more resistant to

frost than ordinary potatoes, and of

unusual vitality; they are somewhat

later in maturing than the ordinary

Petoskey. Every year, the succeeding

crops have been carefully gone over

a minimum the various ills potato flesh

is heir to.



The seed planted this year was plac-

ed in crates and wintered in the cel-

About May 20 they were taken

out and spread eight to ten inches

deep on a cement floor. They received

no further attention until they were

shoveled into crates to be planted in

July. They were matted together

with sprouts, many of which were two

feet long} yet the potatoes grew and

made ninety-four per cent of a perfect

stand. If the press of other work had

not prevented the sprouting 01' the

seed it is probable that the other six

hills in the one hundred would have

responded to the roll call.





First, the seed was from hill-selected

stock, and its vitality had been kept

up and diseases held in check by an-

nual roguing; ~



Second, black scurf, as well as scab,

was eliminated by treating the seed

every year with corrosive sublimate;



Third, the seed was planted without

cutting;



Fourth, the vitality of the seed stock

had been further strengthened by be-

planted in the same field more often

Sixth, the crops have been planted

late enough each year so that the tu-

bers have made their final growth in

the cooler Weather of September and

October.



These are the main contributing fac-

tors to obtaining a good stand; it is

probable that. all of them are more or

less essential if we have unfavorable

weather at and just after planting

time.



A crop of three hundred bushels to





the acre is not extraordinary and many

Michigan g1 owers have done better





this year; but the crop at market pric- g .

es for table stock would bring a return

large enough,to not only make up for,





the losses of last year, but return a.

substantial profit on the crops of both

years.



During the last few years four and

one~half tons of lime per aore have

been applied to it.

tion was made while the land was be-

ing prepared for this year’s potato

crop. Were the potatoes scabby? No.

For uncooked potatoes and potato peel-

ings are never fed to live stock, in-

cluding hens. The water in which 110-

tatoes are washed for table use goes

into the drainwnever into the garbage

pail; therefore the manure made on

the farm contains no scab germs, the

land is free from them, the seed is

treated, and there is no scab. While

these precautions do not entirely pre-





vent scab in some sections, they are





effectual on the sandy loams of south-

western Michigan.



Because the working and enrich-

ment of the soil necessary to the pro-

duction of the potato crop has put it

in the best possible shape to take an

alfalfa seeding next spring. The soil

is cultivated and seeded. The lime

will have been in the soil a year and

will have gone into action. Once over

with the disk and two or three har-

rowings in the spring. and the field is

ready for alfalfa, the best ,hay crop,





the most valuable pasture crop and the -





most potent soil builder ever grown on

the sandy lands of Michigan- But al-

falfa and its surpassing benefits, is an-

other story.





Mr. Woodman will follow this prac-

tical potato article with four short

stories. These will give some of the

farm experiences which he considers

most valuable. The stories will be en-

titled, “The Oak Penings of Southern

Michigan;” “Why Did Clover Fail?”

cles, the first of which will discuss al-

A Michigan Forest Experiment Station





ICHIGAN needs a forest experi-

ment station as badly as she

would need an agricultural ex-

periment station if she did not have

one. She needs the forest experiment

station for precisely the same reasons

that she needs the agricultural station

--to promote better farming. The only

diffeience is that an agricultural sta-

tion is intended to promote better gen-

eral farming and a forest experiment

station is to promote better tree farm-

ing, since forestry is nothing but the

application of agricultural principles

to the growing of forests. '

Some of the state agricultural ex-

periment stations have forestry depart-

.ments whose business it is to make

forest investigations, but their work

is naturally limited by state lines and

the projects which they investigate are

mostly those connected with local

problems. The forestry section of the

Agricultural Experiment Station at

' Michigan Agricultural College makes

. studies of the growth and yield of for-

est plantations and second-growth tim-

ber and of methods of increasing the

value of farm woodlands. It is carry-

ing on a limited amount. of work in

connection with second-growth forests

on” cut-over lands in the northern part

: or T-the state, and other experiments,

portion of the state, and would neces-

sitate for their study a large number

of sample plots and constant observa-

tion on land controlled by the station.



Michigan has ten million acres, more

or less, of old pine lands now idle and

a liability to the owners and to the

state. Much of this land is not suited

to general farming but will grow as

fine pine trees as those originally cut

from it. It was the pine from these

lands that .first made Michigan famous.

These lands must be reforested to

make them productive. We need a

forest experiment station to find out

how best to do it. A great deal is al-

ready known about forest plantations

but we need to know much more. For

instance, we want to know at just

what ages it is best to plant the young

pines on such lands; whether those

planted cheaply when they are only

one year old or those planted more





‘expensively when they are three years





old will be the more satisfactory in

the end. Is it better to plant the young

trees thickly and thin them out later

or to plant fewerin the first place?

There are portions of the old pine

lands which, if protected from fire will

in time seed up naturally to jackpine.

But the jack pine is a species inferior

to either the white or the red pine.

Should nature be depended upon for

or should man, by,





Bullflbé





planting secure a superior one? It

would be the business of a forest ex—

periment station to make studies to

decide all such questions in regard to

forest planting.



But planting is only part of forestry

just as seed planting is only part of

general farming. There are lots of

other forestry problems that need to

be solved and can only be solved by an





 





 





experiment station organized to study

such problems.



For example, when a forester cuts

an old forest for lumber—-and we grow

trees to use them—if he wants to con-

tinue to use the land for tree growing

he must make his cutting in such a

way that there will be seeds or young

trees left on the ground to afford the

basis of a new crop. There are many

ways of accomplishing this. For'in-

stance, when a pine forest is harvested

a few seed trees may be left on each

gan? Lumber companies that contem-

a sustained out are asking just such

questions. '



It is the function of the forest ex—

periment stations to decide all such

points—Just as it is the function of

agricultural experiment stations to de-

cide questions as to the rotation of

crops, the best breeds of cattle and the

best varieties of seed.



Forest experiment stations are no

new thing. They have had them in

“Europe as long as they have had agri-

cultural stations. Nor are they entirely

new in the United States. The first

ones were organized in the west about

fifteen years ago when the administra-

tion'of the national forests was taken

over by the forest service of the Unit-

ed States Department of Agriculture.



A bill was also introduced in the last

session of congress to organize a sta.

tion in Minnesota, but it failed of pas-

sage. Such a station would also ben-

efit Michigan and \Visconsin since the

forestry problems of all three states



are much alike. However, Michigan,

because of its locatiOn and the largei





extent of its forestry problems is the





ideal location for ‘a lake states station I





and would best serve the needs of all.

A forest Experiment station located in

the northern portion of the southern

peninsula of Michigan could cooperate

easily with the state and national for.

est organizations in the state and the

state educational institutions having

forestry departments.





Cooperation of





 





such a nature would be of mutual in-

terest.



There is a movement on foot to'ask

congress ,to locate a forest experiment

station in the lake states. The farmers

of the state can aid that movement by

taking up the matter individually with

their senators and representatives in

congress and by taking suitable action

in the various agricultural organiza~

tions.

To Build Up State Fair. .



Thursday afternoon H. H. Halladay,

state director of agriculture, won over

the entire convention by his clear and

frank address on the State Fair ques-

tion. This fair problem has been stud-

ied by the farmers of Michigan for

many years, and every one of the del-

egates closely listened to Mr. Halladay

frequently applauding his recommen-

dations for various improvements.



He said one of the first steps to be

taken is to clean up the State Fair

and lift it ‘out of the old-fashioned,

freaky, hit-or-miss class and build it

into a genuine exposition for farmers

and farmers’ interests.



“The intelligence of the farmers

must be no longer insulted by cheap,

tawdry, questionable amusements. We

feel that horse racing and gambling is

no part of a farmer’s life. Many mid-

way shows are offensive to our Wives

and children.



“We want to offer our farmers a

chance to see the finest breeds of

stock, to enjoy schools of instruction

and demonstration, to exhibit every

line of product and device that can

assist him or make his home more

attractive. We want the women to

see and enjoy all the features of home

life and community privileges that can

be acquired.



The State Fair as an exposition of

our state’s agricultural achievements

must be typical of, our work and posi-

tion as successful, intelligent farmers,

and we welcome any suggestion as to

its scope or management.



“\Ve are proud agriculture is con-

ceded to be the basis of all prosperity,

but we must remember that agricul<

this depends on other labors for its

advancement. Vl'e cannot stand inde-

pendently.



“Excellence of farm products is to

be encouraged. We are anxious to

have Michigan fruits celebrated for

their flavor, color and keeping quali-

ties. We want Michigan dairy prod-

ucts second to none of the markets,





. into the gutter.





Finally a majority 'of the.





 





 





 





{Minoan down the'lin'é. It will have





a stimulating and encouraging, effect g





and will help to develop Michigan’s

agricultural resources. '



“If our farm products were properly

handled and marketed and exploited.

they would be used more generally

and our revenues would be enhanced.

The health of the people would be im<

proved and patent medicines thrown

Let. us begin right

now to“ talk Michigan farm products.



“Through the continued growing of

scrub stock farmers fail to grasp their

opportunities. The best is the cheap-

est, invariably, and pure-breds started

and cared for intelligently are always

good investmentsfand scrubs are a.

poor business venture.” . “





Lecturer’s Report Full of Valuable

Suggestions.



Mrs. Stockman urged the develop-

ment of the home markets as a means

of improving the economic condition

all the farmers. She referred to the

municipal markets in Grand Rapids

where -' twenty thousand consumers

daily visit the wholesalerand retail

markets, and thought other cities

should follow this plan.





“Farmers must not expect to get

the whole benefit. If the consumer

meets you part way in cutting out the

cost of handling, you must divide the

profit with him. If the farmer hogs

all the benefit the consumer will not

buy. And if the consumer wants to

play the hog the farmer will not sell.

What can be done to get back to nor?

mal conditions? The farmer is back

to 1913 prices.

get back to pre-war wages and profits

and we will go along together in a.

home-grown prosperity without hard-

ship to any one. No one group of

people can long profit at the expense

of another. -





“Let us put our business on a cost

of production basis, stabilize farm

products, work out a profitable basis

for agriculture, and then with the in-

formation of market demands supplied

by impartial government figures, in-

stead of selfish commercial interests,

cut down the cost of handling to the

minimum.





Mrs. Stockman’s report as lecturer

showed that two thOusand new mem'-

bers had been added during the past

year. The year previous there was a.

loss of eleven thousand members.



Consideration of the various com-

mittee resolutions occupied the entire

day on Friday. The covert road act

was condemned because it does not

limit the amount to which any munici-

pality or township may bond for road

construction. Quarterly dues were ad-

vanced five cents per member. Salar-

ies of state ofi‘icers will remain the

same. It was voted to add more wom-

en members to the executive commit-

tee. The date of the annual conven.

tion will continue to be in’ early De-

cember because of the. annual conven-

tion of the National Grange.

THE MICHIGAN FARMER





ertilizcd Muck Soils Bring Results





Increases 802% Tonnage and 7251‘ of Sugar Beet:

By M. M. McCool





' ANY farmers in Michigan are

I Menthusiastic users of commer-

cial fertilizers on muck land,

realizing that they are very frequently

deficient in mineral constituents. A

few years ago a representative of the

United States Department of. Agricul-

ture interviewed a large-number of in-

dividuals who were farming muck land

_in northern Indiana and southern

Michigan. As a result of these inter-

views he found that the use‘ of fertil-

izers, especially potash, on theSe soils

was very profitable, the yields being

increased in most cases from fifty to

two hundred per cent. ,



Mr. Thomas Graham, near Lum,

Michigan, is an exceedingly enthusias-

tic supporter of fertilizers for such

soils, realizing as-a result of field trials

that his land may be changed from an

unproductive to a highly preductive

one by the use of a proper combination

of fertilizers, potash being especially

valuable.



Mr. E. W. Kingery, near Decatur,

Michigan,‘another of our cooperators,

is a regular and consistent user of

commercial fertilizers on muck land.

Where potash is not added either in

the commercial form or as stable ma-

nure unsatisfactory yields of crops are

obtained on land that has been under

cultivation for a number of years.



' The possibilities from the use of fer-

tilizers on muck lands have been rec-

ognized a long time by chemists, soil

and crop investigators. Dr. R. C. Ked-

zie, a pioneer in agricultural chemistry

at the Michigan Agricultural College,

many years ago realized the deficiency

of these soils, and made suggestions

-which in the main entail the funda-

mental principles that are involved in

the management of such. Other work-

ers in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New

York, Wisconsin and Minnesota have

likewise made public results of inves-

tigations which have been useful to

the owners of muck land.



The Composition of Peats and Mucks

is Different from Mineral Soils.



We have many inquiries relative to

the composition of peat and muck

soils. As a result of these we are forc-

ed to conclude that many people are

not informed as to the relative

amounts of material that are contain-

ed in these and mineral or upland

soils. We have received inquiries. rel-

ative to the composition of such mate-

rials that are found in foreign

countries.



Reports on rebord from various



parts of the United States show that

we should expect to find rather wide

variations in the nitrogen content of

vegetable soils. It runs from slightly

above one to more than four per cent,

whereas the amount of this material

in the mineral or upland soil runs from

it...” than one-tenth of one per cent to

about four or five-tenths. In other

words, there is much more nitrogen in

the former than in the latter.

. The potash content of these soils is

strikingly lower than that of the min-

eral soils. It runs from only a small

trace in some deposits to approximate-

ly fifteen-hundredths of one per cent,

and it is recognized that a lack of

available potash to crops is one of the

first things that limits successful pro-

duction on them.



The phosphoric acid which is some-

times spoken of as phosphorus usually

runs considerably higher than the pot-

ash. In fact, very. often the total con-

- tent is higher than it is in’ the upland

son some deposits that contain appre-

ciable quantities of this mineral ele-

ment respond very vigorously to appli-

cations of it.



The situation with respect to lime is

.one that varies very widely and.in fact

several European investigators classi-

fy these soils on the basis of the lime

content. In general they state that

there may be three divisions: the low

lime deposits, the intermediate and

very high lime formations.



In this country it is recognized that

burned on this land, except in one or

two minor instances, in order to avoid

the influence of the resulting ashes on

the future reaction of the soil. Where

those clearing the land misunderstood

the situation and burned heaps of

brush the ashes were taken up and

hauled away.



On this project many questions that

arise in connection with the manage-

ment of these lands will be considered.

Such questions as the depth of plow-

ing, duration of various fertilizer con-

stituents, pasture fertilization, im-

or are acid or sour in reaction are not

at all uncommon, this condition being

true principally to lack of lime in the

soil. In some instances the use of oth-

er fertilizer constituents without lime

does not bring increased crop produc-

tion and when some lime is applied to

the soil the growth is increased by the

application of these substanCes. The

importance of the lime content of soils

is concluded to be so great 111 Germany

and Austria that their fertilizer recom-

mendations are dependent upon this

situation. Where the lime is low in

amount they recommend rather liberal

applications and they suggest that a

somewhat larger quantity of phosphor-

us be applied on them than they do

where the lime content is high, al-

though the difference in this respect in

recommendations is not very great.

When it comes to the potash, how-

ever, they usually consider that it is

advisable to add more of this material





provement and others are to be includ-

ed. In addition to this permanent ex-

perimental field cooperative projects

are being conducted on widely differ-

ent kinds of soil in different parts of

the state. Although a number of these

are now in progress several others will

be inaugurated this spring. It is de-

sirable, as soon as practicable, that

other permanent fields be established.

Sugar Beet Production on Muck

Lands.



The production of sugar beets on

muck land may be done successfully,

provided the land is suitable, is well

drained and is properly fertilized and

tilled. The questions of tonnage pro-

duction, the purity and sugar content

of beets grown on these lands have

been leading ones for some time. It is

recognized that one of the big prob-





lems of the owner of these lands is the .





production of crops that are resistant

to frost and if the sugar beet, for ex-

to the low lime bogs than to those that

carry a sufficient amount of lime, or in

other words, there is a tendency for

the potash deficiency to be greater

than in the absence of lime. They do

not suggest that nitrogen be applied

to the deposits that ‘are high in'lime,

whereas they consider it advisable to

apply small quantities to those that

are low in lime or sour or acid in re-

action.



Muck Problems Being Considered.



The Michigan Experiment Station is

'engaged, in the accumulation of infor-

mation along these and other lines.

Recently some thirty acres .of virgin

muck land for experimental and dem-

onstrational purposes were set aside.

» ndv has Ibsen pIOWed and





 





ample, which is known to be such a

crop, can be grown successfully with

respect to tonnage as well as purity

and sugar content, great advancement

may be made in this field. Beets have

been grown cooperatively on several

deposits the past season. The major

1esults are published in the October

issue of the experiment station quar-

terly.



On muck land owned by A. S. Sher-

man, near Homer, the average yield of

beets on three unfertilized portions

was 11.7 tons with a sugar content of

14.4 per cent and a purity 'of 86.5.

Where 250 pounds ofacid phosphate

was added the yield was 13.4 tons, the

sugar content thirteen per cent and

the purity 82.3. Where 200 pounds of





‘Francei’t—a six-word ens,

ties 4 tr! '





yield was 15. 9 tons, the sugar content

being 14.1 per

eighty-five per cent.





potash resulted in 17.4 tons per acre,

the sugar content being 15.2 per cent

and the purity eighty-five per cent. Ma-

nure produced a yield of 17.5 tons of

beets with a sugar content of fifteen

per cent and a purity of eighty-six per

cent.



Although these represent the results

of a single season they indicate that

where muck soils are properly drained

and fertilized the production of large

tonnage of beets with high sugar con-

tentand purity is possible. These tests

are to be continued several years and

these are to be included.

RESU LTS FROM COW-TESTING

WORK.





 





MONG the interesting things in



connection with cow-testing work

is the helping members to formulate

better rations, plan better methods,

and get better stock, in all three of

which we have been able to render

service.



We have assisted in getting better

sires. We have helped men to official

testing and induced three men to ap-

ply l‘or federal and state aid in T. B.

eradication.



The one place where the greatest

service has been rendered, however,

has been in the feed room. With ever

changing markets it is not always easy

for the farmers to keep posted on the

best combinations of feed to get the

best results. We have‘a case in mind

that we will relate for the benefit of

others.



A member had a herd of very good

Holsteins, and from the history it

seemed as though they should be do-

ing better as they

types and at first glance would seem

to be quite well fed: but a closer ex-

amination showed the ration low in

both protein and carbohydrates. The

feed was corn silage, corn fodder, oat

straw, bran, ground oats, and cotton-

seed meal. We got them to change the

ration by adding corn meal, oil meal,

and clover hay. On our next visit we

found two fresh cows so when we foot-

ed up the sheets we deducted this from





the total and still had 2,098 pounds?





more milk which, at the then market





price of $3.18, meant an increase of .





$66.71.





This is perhaps an exceptional case





yet in the course of a year’s work we

will find many.

what we would find in a survey of one





hundred farms taken at random, as to ,

‘ NEVER has the demand for efii-

less he takes advantage of the agen-

cies for eflicient purchasing and mar-

keting, and follows well established

methods of economical production.



I There is, however, a class of farm-

ers who seem to be under the impres-

sion that the problem of purchasing

and. marketing, towards the solution

of which the farm bureau and the com-





modity organizations allied with it are





doing much, are the only problems

about which they need to be concern-

ed. ’ They forget that efficient produc-

tion is a primary, fundamental factor

in successful farming. They fail to

realize that a saving in labor, seed and

fertilizer in the production of a crop,

is just as much a profit as an equiva-

lent increase in the market price of

Tractor Farming Made More Practical.



Fred W. Kennedy, Plymouth: “Run-

ning tractors on undrained land is bad

for the tractor and worse for the land.

This I have learned from a costly ex-

perience.”



Reduction in Loss of Crops Due to

Fred Wilson, Smiths Creek: “Crops

ter in dry season on tile- drained than

pense of drainage."

that crop, and that it has the advan-



tage of being an immediate and cer-



tain profit instead of one that is not



realized until the crop is marketed



months later.



Underdrainage Essential to Efficient

Production.



Underdrainage, either natural or

artificial, is essential to low cost of,»

production. It alone will keep the wa-

ter level in soils down to such a level

that the growth of crops will not be

stunted during the growing season.

There are over four million acres of

cold, wet land on Michigan farms that

are giving no adequate return for the

labor, seed, and fertilizer that are an-

nually invested in them. They are to

the farms What a tapeworm is to the

human body. Such land cannot be

farmed efficiently unless it is first tile-

drained.



Testimonials from a few of the many

progressive Michigan farmers who have

practical experience with tile-drainage,

bring out the following benefits:



7 Earlier and Longer Growing Season.



Irvin Doan, of Croswell: “I have

worked my tiled land in the spring

when similar untiled land was so wet

and soft that a horse would sink plow-

deep in the soil, and water would be

standing in the furrows. I have cul-

tivated beets and corn after a big rain

{four or five. days sooner than I could

on the same kind of land that was not

tiled.” ,



Less Labor .Required in Seed-bed

Louis H. Peck, Keeper of Ottawa.



((We

did it. They will double the yields one

year after another”



Ilvin Hendrixson, HOpkins: “I have

drained fields With clay and clay loam

soils. Certain parts of my farm that

had been farmed for nearly sixty years

never paid for the labor before tile-

draining. Last year I received about

eighteen tons of beets to the acre on





‘ this same ground.”





The above and many other state-

ments from Michigan farmers bring

out the fact that tile-drainage makes

for economical production because it



1. Lengthens the season by from one

to four weeks.



2. Makes a better distribution of la-

bor possible.



3. Makes it possible to prepare a

seed-bed, and later cultivate crops with

a much smaller amount of labor.



4. Makes the economical use of a

tractor and other labor-saving machin-

ery possible by doing away with open

ditches, wet-spots, and to a large ex-

tent, dead furrows. 1,



5. Materially decreases the loss of

seed, fertility and crops due to heavy

rains.



6. Materially reduces the loss of

c10ps due to drought and heavy by

frost, and makes a definite crop Iota-

tion possible.



7. Increases the quantity of crops

from twenty-five to one hundred per

cent, and frequently more.



8. Increases the quality of crops.



9. Makes it possible to raise more

valuable crops.



In view of the fact that the cost of

tile and ditching is down to the level

where a. farmer can well afford to do

some tile-draining, he should include

in his program for 1922 the draining of

drainage system seldom fails to pay

for itself in less than five years

through the saving in labor and the

increaSe in crops for which it is re-

sponsible.



To quote Wm. A. Grozinger, Wood-

land: “It is no longer a question of

whether a farmer can afford to tile.

The question is, can he afford not to

tile ?”—-VV. VAN HAITSMA.





PLAN TO MARKET MAPLE PROD-

UCTS.





R. A. M. BULLOCK was re-elect-

ed president of the Michigan

Maple Syrup Makers’ Association at a

meeting held at State Farm Bureau

headquarters in Lansing, December

13. D. G. Group, of Bellevue, was elect-

ed vice-president. J. Lee Morford, of

the State Farm Bureau, is to act as

secretary for the organization. Addi-

tions to the association’s board of di-

rectors were D. G. Croup, P. L. Butt-

rick, of East Lansing, and V. B. John-

son, ot‘ Vestaburg.

The maple syrup makers have de-





cided to market at least one-third of.





their crop through the State Farm Bu-

reau marketing department. A stand-

ard container in quart, two~quart and

gallon sizes has been decided upon

and the syrup will be marketed under

an appropriate Michigan brand. The

producers plan to have their require

ments in containers at hand by Janu-

ary 15 so that. they may be ready for

the opening of the syrup season.





TIMELY TOPICS.





 





Idle Horses—Now that we are seek-

ing to economize, one course open to

many farmers who are obliged to keep

some era“ of the horses idle, is to

feed a little more roughage and a. lit-

tle less feed.



Producing Beet—Cheap feed and

relatively low prices for feeders are

tempting many to turn surplus rough-

This course

offers one of the most attractive ways

of marketing certain grains and coarse

feeds. It is important that one buys

his feeders at a reasonably low figure.



Cow Stables.—-The dairy cow cannot

do her best when cold. When she be-

comes so cold that she humps up, her

milk flow is certain to be reduced for

several milkings. She is affected more

by low temperatures than are beef cat-

tle. The latter have fat which acts as

a blanket to keep the vital organs in

normal condition. The dairy cow pro-

duces fat but it goes into the milk pail

and consequently does not aid in keep-

ing her comfortable in extremely cold

weather. The milch cows Should have

exercise, but don’t leave them out till

they begin to hump up. When they do

this it should be the signal for the sta-

ble boy to get a hump on and open the

stable doors.



Keeping Accounts.—More than forty

cost accounting schools, scattered over

twenty Michigan counties, have been

scheduled by the college farm manage-

ment men in an effort to meet the de-

mand for accounting information. The

schools are held at grange, farmers’

clubs, or other local headquarters and





are arranged by the local county agri- ,





cultural agents.



An unusually effective plan for hand-

ling farmers’ cost accounting schools

has been worked out in Wexford coun-

ty by County Agent W. F. Johnson,

who is conducting the schools in con-

nection with the consolidated public

schools of the county. This plan tends

to center community interest in the





‘ schools and also gives students actual





and practical work, thus proving a ben-

efit both. ways. Bankers, farmers and

superintendents of schools are cooper-

ating with Johnson in the accounting

FORECLOSING LAN D CONTRACTS.





 





From the answers under “Foreclos~

ure” in October 1 issue, and “Rights





am I to believe that it takes fifteeh

months to foreclose a mortgage, and

only thirty days to foreclose a land

contract? Then a mortgage is a more

, preferable way to buy than a land con-

tract—J. E. H.





The law is as stated. The error was

in undertaking without knowledge of

ability to perform. The land contract

can not be foreclosed while payments

and other covenants are kept perform-

ed.-—-J. R. R.





RECOVERY OF POSSESSION.





 





A party sells a farm to a second

party on a contract, specifying so much

and interest to be paid annually with

forfeiture in case of failure to pay,

etc.’ After two or threesyears, the

purchaser is unable to continue pay-

ments. How long will it take the own-

er to regain possession of the farm

after payment is defautled? Also what

process of law would be necessary?—

S. L. Z.





All the vendor need do to recover

possession is to serve a notice declar-

ing the forfeiture for the non-payment,

file a complaint before a justice of the

peace or circuit court commissioner,

obtain the summons in summary pro

ceedings returnable in less than three

days from date, obtain a judgment of

restitution; and at the end of thirty

days take out a writ of restitution and

recover possession—J. R. R





LIABILITY TO SUPPORT PARENTS.





 





A friend of mine was adopted twen-

ty years ago, but he didn’t stay with

the people except for a few years. Now

he has been married a number of years

and his own father stays with him

part of the time. The other children

are kicking about caring for the father

and he prefers to stay with my friend.

He never-provided for his son. Can

he compel his son to care for him?

Would it be possible to get a copy of

the adoption papers after so many

years have elapsed?~A. D. R.



Children are under no legal liability

to support their parents, either native

or adopted. It is the duty of any pub-

lic official upon demand and payment

for the necessary clerical service to

furnish copies of any records in their

possession—J. R. R.





MAKING A BALANCED RATION.





 





I have six milch cows and would like

to know what a good mixed feed and

how many pounds of each should be

mixed to get a. good balanced ration

and how much should I feed each

cow to get the best results. I have only

silage and cornstalks and must buy all

the rest—L. E. B. _



If you only had clover or alfalfa hay

in ‘this ration it would simplify mat-

ters considerable. Cornstalks and sil-

age are both good but they are defl-

cient in protein and your grain ration

must therefore be of such a nature as

to make up this deficiency. I would

recommend that you feed ground oats

and wheat bran and cottonseed meal

as a grain ration. Mix the ground oats

and wheat bran equal parts by weight.

Feed each cow two pounds of cotton-

seed meal per day. It is better to feed

this separate and sprinkle it on the en-

silage. I would prefer to feed one

pound at night and one pound in the

morning in preference to two pounds

all at once, but this does not make a

great deal of ditference. In addition

to the two pounds of cottonseed meal,

feed enough ground oats and wheat

bran to make a-combined grain ration

—one pound ‘of grain for every three

pounds of milk each cow produces





 





 





daily; For ~instance,if- a oowfivee





. 5‘.- .





 

 





 





‘2,





of Purchaser Under Land Contract,”





 





 





twenty-four pounds of milk a day, then

give her eight pounds of feed, that is,

two pounds of cottonseed meal and six

pounds of cats and bran. Feed the

cows all the corn silage they will eat

up clean twice each day and I should

give them cornstalks twice each day,

what they will eat up clean. 01’ course,

you cannot expect them to eat all the

coarse butts of the cornstalks.





 





PEA AND BEAN WEEVIL CONTROL.





 





I understand that heating peas and

beans will destroy the weevil that gets

into them so often. Can you tell me

how much moisture is taken out of

the peas and beans by doing so? Will

peas and beans sprout just as soon as

grogghcthey had not been heated?——-





We doubt very much ‘whether heat-

ing of peas and beans for the killing

of the weevil would be of any benefit,

as any heating which would be de-

structive to the weevil would also de-

stroy the germinating ability of the

peas and beans. -



The only method of control we sug-

gest is to fumigate with carbon bisul-

fide. This is a thin liquid which should

be used at the rate of about five

pounds to every thousand cubic feet

of space occupied by the seed to be

fumigated.



Make the bin in which the seed is to

be kept as tight as possible, and then

sprinkle the carbon bisulflde over the

seed, after which cover with an air-

tight cover such as a tarpaulin and

leave covered for at least twenty-four

hours.



Pea seed will be fit for use without

fumigation if kept over a year, but

beans cannot be used any time unless

they are fumigated.

Fran'cisCo Farm Notes

By P. P. Pope





 





 





 





 





 





S the old year draws to a close



we aim to set aside a few days



to work on the year’s accounts.

We used to attend to this part of the

business at. the beginning of the crop-

ping season, but soon found that the

first of April usually ushered in so

many other tasks and duties, that suf-

ficient time was not available to do the

work justice or get the most out of it.

So for a long time we have taken the

calendar year, as our farm year, and

held our financial

“round-up” at this

time. The first

and most import-

ant step is the

taking ‘61“ the an-

nual inventory.

This is the first

step in farm ac-

counting, as it

alone tells the

story of profit or

loss on the year’s

Without it, it is practically





 





business.

impossible to tell one’s financial stand-





ing from year to year. There is an im-

mense amount of satisfaction to be

secured from a carel'ully made annual

inventory. “'e know, for we have one

for every year that we have been doing

business. \Ve found it considerable 01’

a task at the first attempt, but after a

few years we got the thing systematiz-

ed and with the previous year’s rec-

ords as a guide it is no longer much

trouble. \Vithout a definite plan to

follow one could flounder around a

good deal trying to list all his belong-

ings, and he would do well if he did

not miss a lot or them. Our inventory





is arranged under the following sep-

arate headings:

Real estate, horses, cattle, swine,





poultry, farming tools, farm produce,

miscellaneous, household goods and

supplies, stocks, bonds and notes, ac-

crued interest, accounts receivable,

cash on hand.



After these lists are completed and

,lvalues assigned to each item, the foot-

ings are taken and placed opposite

their respective. headings under re-

sources. Liabilities are listed on the

page opposite resources, and include

all financial obligations whatsoever;

such as:



Notes, mortgages, accrued interest,

accounts payable, etc. The net balance

is the difference between the sum of

the resources and the sum of the lia-

bilities, and is added to the liabilities

because it represents what the busi-

ness owes us, and is the item which

makes the accounts balance. The

change in this item from year to year

tells the story of profit or loss on each

year’s business. You will readily see

that by subdividing according to the

above plan, the taking of an inventory

become’s comparatively simple. It is

only necessary to work with one class

of items at a time, and in some in-





, stances these items change but little

' from year to year.





We like to com-

plete the list of items in each class

beforeattempting to assign values.

With the live stock, the horses, the

breeding cattle and hogs are listed in-





—, dividually, by name, the young things





are grouped. Farming tools are listed





.at the prevailing price less ten per

,eent approximately, fer





, each season

they have been in use. Farm produce





dis/measured or estimated in mow, crib





or” bin, and figured at the market price.





The miscellaneous list Is {av/convenient

gpl'ace for anything that does not class-





fly elsewhere, such as, automobiles,

Mug crops, fuel purchased feeds.





them in, not making an itemized list

but grouping them at about their in-

surance value. The other items ex-

plain themselves, being practically

cash or its equivalent.



The liabilities include everything we

we. They are not usually hard to get

at. The list may be long but creditors

are not inclined to let them be easily

forgotten these days. It is well, and

if we have not summed them up, of

late, it is a good time to get the full





"list and know the worst. They are not





the most encouraging part 01' the in-

ventory this year. They do not seem

to share in the downward plunge with

most of the items that go to make up

the resources. Thenet balance is what

tells the story, and if we have been

honest with ourselves in assigning val-

ues, it is a story that is very interest-

ing, instructive, satisfying, and valua-

ble. Needless to say it it long contin-

ues the rate of precipitation set by the

years 1920 and 1921 it will soon have

to be w11tten in red.



Thus endeth chapter one. “Next week

We will tell you 01' ou1 system 01 book-

keeping that keeps itself.





WHAT DID IT COST YOU TO GROW

WHEAT?





 





0U will not believe the statement



that it costs some farmers four

times as much to grow winter wheat

as it does others. But We have the

very best of evidence that such is the

case. The‘figures which were recently

made public show that in 1920 some

farmers grew wheat for $1.00 per bush-

el while to grow the same amount 01‘

grain it cost others $4.00.



We are appending the figures here-

to. They were gathered t'or the hu-

reau of farm management and farm

economics of the department of agri-

culture. To make the figures repre-

sent conditions as accurate as possible

every detail was carefully scrutinized

by men who had specialized in farm

management work. The data were

gathered on the 1920 crop which cost

much more than did the crop 01? the

past year and far above what in all

probability, a wheat crop will cost for

some years to come.



The figures in the first column show

the net cost per bushel, those in the

second column the number of farmers

who produced at the cost set opposite

in the first column, and the third col—

umn figures give the number of bush—

els produced at the cost price given in

column one:

SIMPLE-POULTRY REMINDERS.



WHEN a hen has chickenpox try



removing scab and painting the

spot with iodine. Then give the birds

a dose of powdered sulphur at the rate

of about one-half a teaspoonful per hen

miXed in a moist mash. The next day

the hens can be given a dose of/epsom

salts in the mash at the rate of half a

teaspoonful per lien. This treatment





is reported to have cleared up several

outbreaks of chickenpox.





Cai'bolated vaseline is useful to rub

on frozen combs or scaly legs. It may

also help to prevent infection in

wounds caused by stepping on sharp

objects or fighting. Camphorated vas‘

eline is sometimes useful to rub on the

heads of birds with slight colds. A

little can be rubbed in the mouth and

nostrils, but keep it from the eyes.



Hens with bronchitis are difficult to

cure when the trouble is long-standing.

But when the rattling sound in the

throat is first noticed mix up a solu-

tion of five parts of sweet oil to one

part turpentine and give the sick bird

about ten drops every day until cured

or the case appears hopeless.





The commercial coal tar disinfect-

ants have saved many poultry losses.

They an be diluted with water to

such an extent that a\gallon of disin-

fectant costs very little. They help

to destroy the germs of infection, mak-

ing other remedies unnecessary.



If a hen appears ailing and off feed

Without apparent cause try giving a





a day and isolate the bird to see if her

appetite returns.



Probably one of the most useful sim-

ple remedies is the hatchet which at

one swing removes the danger of a

sick bird infecting others. It is neces-

sary treatment in many diseases that

should have been avoided by preven-

tive measures—R. G. K.





 





IN THE SHOW-ROOM.





VERYBODY who has a few good



fowls in his breeding pens can

profit by showing them. \Vhether you

raised them yourself or bought them

of some other breeder, you will never

know just how good they are in com-

parison with your neighbors’ fowls un-

less you show them.





If you purchased your exhibition

stock, depending entirely on the past

records of the birds or the say-so of

the man selling them, it will pay you

to make a careful study point by point

in comparing your birds with the ones

shown against you. Ask the judge to

show you the strong and weak points

in your birds, and he will usually give

you a lot of valuable pointers.



We have often run across people in

the show-room who were there for the

first time. They started with a setting

of eggs for whichihey paid a good

price and from which they expect a

lot of high-class show birds. One

should begin the study and culling of

these birds when still small chicks,

and watch them until ready for the

show-room. Fix your ideal in mind

and constantly select the ones that

have developed the most nearly to that

ideal.



We always give first place to the

birds nearest standard shape. [Some

breeders place color first, but it is gen

erally admitted that “color makes the

variety while shape makes the breed.”

Also observe the bird’s, head points

carefully, for nothing catches the





judge’s eye quicker than a well-shaped

~ head. with

dition‘is half the battle. Many an in-

ferior bird in bang-up condition? care.

fully groomed has won over birds that

have been grosly neglected along those

lines. ,



Go in the show-room determined to

win but if you can’t win keep sweet

and try to learn why. Any one can

win but it takes a true fancier and

sportsman to lose gracefully and profit

thereby.

COCKEREL WITH WEAK LEGS.





There are several of my cockerels

which have difficulty in walking. They

use their wings to help walking and

their legs tremble when setting—E. S.





Cases of weak legs most often occur

in cockerels that have been "growing

rapidly until their weight seems great-

er than they can carry. Such a bird

will appear healthy in other ways and

have a good appetite. It may recover

but is more apt to become worse and

finally die because of exhaustion and

inability to obtain enough feed. I be-

lieve that lack of a balanced ration is

one cause of the trouble as growing

birds with a balanced dry mash show

few cases of leg weakness. Heavy

feeding of corn and a lack of bone and

musclemaking feed may be a cause of

leg weakness. It is another poultry

trouble that is easier to prevent than

to cure.





 





-DEPLUM ING MITES.





About half my chickens are losing

the feathers off their head and front

part of neck. They do not act as well

as usual. Their bowels have been very

loose, almost white- We have been

giving them wet bran mash of late. Do

you think that is what caused it?

What would be your advice to give

chickens to keep them in' good health,

and tlligat would help them to lay.—





Hens may become infested with de

pluming mites which. live at the base

of the feathersfiThe pests often cause

th feathers to drop, especially around

the head and neck. Cai'bolated vase-

line may be used to kill the mites. A

mixture of one part flowers of sulphur

added to four parts lard will be ben-

eficial.





Mites and lice are common causes

of liens becoming devitalized and more

subject to disease. The wet bran mash

might not cause the bowel trouble but

it would be better to feed a balanced

dry mash to encourage egg production.

The commercial dry mashes are now

lower in price and many poultrymen

are finding them profitable. A good

niasli‘ for winter laying can be made

of fifty pounds of wheat scrap. 100

pounds of ground oats and twenty

pounds of beef scrap. The scratch

grain can consist of two parts corn to

one part wheat. Another good mash

consists of equal parts by weight oil

corn meal, middlings, bran, beef scrap

and ground oats. Sour milk or butter-

milk is a useful addition to any poul-

try ration.





 





A FEMININE ROOSTER.





I have a six-months—old Leghorn

rooster which I kept for breeding. He

was a nice bird when he was small but

now is growing to be more like a hen

than a roost-er and does not crown—F.





It is not a good. plan to retaina





rooster for breeding purposes that». I.

extension in the house—also remained

silent. The girl at Central repeated

the request; neither Eaton nor the

Other person replied. Eaton hung up

the receiver and stepped f1 om- the clos-

et. He encountered Donald Avery in

the hall. ’



“You have been telephoning?” Avery

asked.



“NO-n



“Oh;

her?"



“I did not ask fordt.”



Eaton gazed cooly at Avery, know-

ing now that Avery had been at the

other telephone on the line or had had

report. from the person who had been

prepared to overhear.



“So you have appointed yourself my

~—~wa rden ?”



Avery took a case from his pocket

and lighted a cigar without offering

Eaton one. Eaton glanced past him;

Harriet Santoine was descending the,

stair. Avery turned and saw her, and

again taking out his cigar~case, now

offered it to Paton, who ignored it.



‘I found lather asleep,” Hatuet said

to Eaton.



“May 1 see you

ment?" he asked.



“Of course,” she said; and as Avery

made no motion, she turned toward

the door .of the large room in the fur—





you could not get your num—





alone for a mo-





ther end of the south wing. Eaton

started to follow.

“Where are you taking him, Har-





riet?” Avery demanded of her sharply.



She seemed to Eaton to have been

herself about to reconsider her action:

but. Avery decided her.



“in here,” she replied; and proceed-

ed to open the door which exposed an-

other door ,iust: within, which she op-

ened and closed after she had entered

and Eaton had followed her in. Her

manner was like that of half an hour

before, when she showed him the

grounds beyond the house. And Eaton

feeling his muscles tighten, stroveto

control himself and examine the room

with only casual curiosity. It would

well excuse any one’s interest.



It was very large, perhaps forty feet

long and certainly thirty in width.

There was a huge stone fireplace on

the west. wall where the wing connect-

ed with the main part of the house;

and all about the other wall, and par-

ticularly to the east, were high and

wide windows; and through those to

the south, the sunlight now was flood-

ing in. Bookcases were built between

the windows up to the ceiling, and

bookcases covered the west wall on

both sides of the fireplace- And every

case was filled with books: upon a ta-

ble at one side lay a pile of volumes

was a great rack where periodicals of

foreign and American—were kept; and

there were great presses preserving

current newspapers.



At the center of Hie room was a

large table-desk'with a chair and a

lounge beside it; there were two other

lounges in the room, one at the south

in the sun and another at the end to

ward the lake. There were two small—

“Oh," she said. “I thought that was

“You mean that I am to be kept

here?” .



“Yes.”



“Indefinitely?” "



“Until—as Father indicated to you

on the train—~he\ has satisfied himself

as to the source of the attack upon

“I, understand. In the meantime, I

am not to be allowed to communicate

smaller A safe, with a combi-

nation lock, was built into a wall. The

most extraordinary feature of the room

was a. steep, winding staircase, in the

corner beyond the fireplace, evidently

connecting with the room above.



The room in which they were was

so plainly Basil Santoine’s work-room

that the girl did not comment upon

that; but as Eaton glanced at the

stairs, she volunteered:



“They go to Father’s room;

the same space above."



“I see. This is a rather

“You mean the windows?” she ask-

ed. “That surprises 111ost people—450

see sunlight, but he ~says he feels it.

He likes light, anyway; and it is' true

that he can tell, without his eyes,

whether the day is‘biight 01 cloudy,

and whether the light is tulned on at

night. The moms in this wing, too.

are nearly sound-proof. There is not

much noise from outside here, of

course, except the waves; but there

are noises from other parts of the

house. Noise does not irritate Father,

but his hearing has become very acute

because of his blindness, and noises

sometimes distract him when he is

working. Now, what was it you wish-

ed to say to me, M1. Eaton?”



Eaten With a start, recollected him-

self His gaining a view of that room

was of so much more importance than

what he had to say that, for a mo-

ment, he had forgotten. Then:



“I wanted to ask you exactly what

The color on her cheeks heightened.

“Some one was appointed to listen on

the wire?” he challenged.



“Yes.” She hesitated, and then she

added, in the manner in which she had

directed him to the guard outside the

house: “And besides I believe the1e

are—01 will be—the new phonog1aphic

devices on eve1y line, which 1e001d

both sides of a conve1sation. Subject

to that, you may use the telephone.”



“Thank you,” said Eaton grimly. “I

suppose if I wereto write a letter, it

would be taken from me and opened

and read.”



She colored ruddier

“And if I wished to go to the city,





and made no

“Prevented, for the present,” she re-

“Thank you.”



“That is all?”





The interview had become more dif-

anxious to have it over.



“Just one moment more, Miss San-

toine. Suppose I resist this?”



“Yes?”

several investigations. The telegrams

you received doubtless ale being trac-

ed to their sou1ces; othe1 inquiries

are being made. As you have only

lately come back to America, they may

extend far and take some time."





“Thank you," he acknowledged. He

went to the door, opened it and went

out; he closed it after him andxleft

her alone.





Harriet stood an instant vacantly

staring after him; then she went to

the door and fastened it with a catch.

She came back to the great table-desk

~her blind fath_er's desk—and seated

heIself in the great chair, his chair,

and buried her face in her hands. She

had seemed—and she knew that she

had seemed—quite composed as she

talked to Eaton; now she was not com-





posed. Her face was burning hot; her '





hands, against her cheeks, were cold;

tremors of feeling shook her as she

thought of the man who just had left

her. Why, she asked herself, was she

not able, to make l1erself~ treat this

man in the way that her mind told her

she should have treated him? That

he might be thefione who had dealt the

blow intended to kill her father—~her

being could not and would not accept

that. Yet, the only reason she had to

deny it, was her feeling.



That Eaton must have been involved

in the attack or, at least, must have

known and now knew something about

it which he was keeping from them,-

seemed certain. Yet she did not, she

could not, abominate and hate this

man. Instead, she found herself im~

pelled, against all natural reason, more

and more to trust him. Moreover, was

it fair to her father for her to do this?



Since childhood, since babyhood, ev-

en, no one had ever meant anything

to her in comparison with her father.

Her mother had died when she was

young; she had never had, in her play

as a child, the careless abandon of oth-

er children, becauSe in spite of the.

play she had been thinking of her

father; the greatest joy of childhood





, she could remember was walking hand .





in hand with her father and telling him

the things she saw; it had been their _

“game;” and as she grew older and it

had ceased to be merely a game—as

she had grown more and more useful

to the blind man, and he had learned

more fully to use and trust her~she

had found it only mgre interesting, a

pleasure. She had never had

umph had been when she had found





' that, though h’e searched- the world and

paid fortunes to find others 1 to “seej’

for him, no one could serve him as she





could; she had never'thought of her-

self apart from him.



Now her father ‘had been attacked

and injured—attacked foully, while he





slept; he had come close to death, had.





suffered; he was still suffering. Cer-

tainly she ought to hate, at least be

aloof from any one, every one, against

whom the faintest suspicion breathed

of having been concerned in that das-

tardly attack upon her father; and

that she found herself without aver-

sion to Eaton, when he was with her,

now filled her‘ with shame and re-

morse.





She crouched lower against this

desk which so represented her father

in his power; she felt tears of shame

at herself hot on her cold hands. Then

she got up and recollected herself. Her

father, when he would awake, would

wish to work; there were certain im-

portant matters he must decide at





i once.





Harriet went to the end of the room

and to the right of the entranCe door.

She looked about, with a habit of cau-





tion. and then removed a number of,





books from a shelf about shoulder

high; she thus exposed a panel at the





back of the bookcaSe, which she slid'





back. Behind it appeared the steel





 





door of a combination wall-safe. She

opened it and took out two large,

thick envelopeswith tape about them,

sealed and addressed to Basil San-

toine; but they were not stamped, for

they had not been through the mail;

they had been delivered by messenger.





THE MlCHxIGAN FARMER





Harriet reclosed the safe, concealed it-





and took the envelopes back to her

father’s desk and opened them to ex-

amine their contents preparatory to

taking them to him. But even now

her mind was not on her work; she

was thinking of Eaton, where he had

gone and what he was doing and—was

he thinking of her?



Eaton had left the room, thinking of

her. The puzzle of his position in re-

lation to her, and hers to him, filled

his mind too. That she had been con-

strained by circumstances and the

opinions of those around her to as-

sume a distrust of him which she did

not truly feel, was plain to him; but it

was clear that, whatever she felt, she

would obey her father’s directions in

regard to him. And she had told that

Basil Santoine, if he was to hold his

prisoner as almost a guest in his house

pending developmentflvas to keep that





guest strictly from communication

with anyone outside. Santoine, of





course, was aware from the telegram

that Others had been acting with Ea-

ton; the incident at the telephone had

shown that Santoine had anticipated

that Eaton’s first necessity would be to





 

 





get in touch with his friends. And

this, now, indeed was a necessity. The

gaining of 'Santoine’s house, under con-

ditions which he would not have dared

to dream of, would be worthless now

unless immediately—before Santoine

could get any further trace of him—

he could get word to and receive word

from his friends.



He had stopped, after leaving San-

toine’s study, in the alcove of the hall

in front of the double doors which he

had closed behind him; he heard Har-

riet fasten the inner one. As he stood

now, undecided where to go, a young

woman crossed the main part of the

hall, coming evidently .-from outside

the house—she had on hat and jacket

and was gloved; she was approaching

the doors of the room he had just left,

and so must pass him. He stared at

sight of her and choked; then he con-

trolled himself rigidly, waiting until

she should see him.



She halted suddenly as she saw him

and grew very pale, and her gloved

hands went swiftly to her breast and

pressed against it; she caught herself

together and looked swiftly and fear-

fully abhut her and out. into the hall.

Seeing no one but himself, she came

a step nearer.



“Hugh!” she breathed. Her surprise

was plainly greater than his own had

been at sight of her; but she checked

herself again quickly and looked warn-

ingly back at the hall; then she fixed





 





on I him her blue





ticular—as though waiting his instruc-

tions.

he listened; but there was no sound

anywhere in the house which told him

they were likely to be seen; so he

came back to the spot where he had

been standing.



“Stay where you are, Edith,” he

whispered. “If we hear any one com-

ing, we are just passing each other in

the hall ”



“I understand; of course, Hugh! But

you——you’re here! In his house!”



“Even lower. Edith; remember

Eaton—Philip Eaton.”



“Of course; I know; and I’m Miss

Davis here—-Mildred Davis.”



“They let you come in and out. like

“No, no; I do stenography for Mr.

Father

Allen had boasted that Mother Al-

len knew a woman’s place was in the





OR five-and-twenty years





home. He had held her up as a model

to luckless .husbands of gadabout

wives, and was far prouder ot‘ the fact

that Mother Allen was always on the

job at home than he was of his one

pure-bred cow. But for a week he

had been wondering if even virtue can

not be overdone.

ing, yes even praying, that she, would

leave home for‘a day, for he had that

to do which he would have. trouble to

explain to her if she happened to catch

him at it. To all of his suggestions

that she take a day off and visit vari-

ous friends or relatives, Mother Allen

turned a deaf ear, however. It was

tomatoes and cucumbers had to be wa—

and someone had to be on hand to

This was no time for the general to

leave her post. Mother Allenavould

not allow herself even the pleasure of

going to the back end of the pasture

to help Tom and Nellie pick the fast

ripening berries.



Trouble loomed dark and threaten-

ing for Father Allen, unless she could

be got out/of the house and kept out

for a couple of hours. A week ago he

had opened a letter containing a draft

for $650 which Milly had drawn on her

home town bank. and as yet he had

had no opportunity to re-address an

envelope and send the letter on. On

the face of it addressing a letter would

seem a very simple thing, but in Fath-

er Allen’s case there were complica-

tions. ”To begin with, there were no

but the family exchequer, including

Tom’s bank, had recently been cleaned

out to subscribe for a group of papers.

To be sure he could get a stamp on

the bill at the store, but Ma went over

that book every time it came home,

with an eye that missed no suspicious

detail. There was nothing to do but

to remove the stamp from the old en-

velope, and no way to get an envelope

except to manufacture one out of a

sheet of note paper.



Both these operations called for

time if Father Allen was to perform

them. He knew of but one way to

remove the stamp, that was to hold

the corner of the envelope in the

steam from the kettle. Ma always did

that way, and Pa knew no ways but

hers. Had a few months in office

work been included in Pa’s early ed-

ucation he would have torn the corner

off the envelope and dropped it into

the cup of water down at the pump

until the stamp soaked off. But his

only experience with offices consisted

in visiting the court house once a year

to pay his taxes. .



It was a serious situation. In the

ordinary course of events Milly should

have received a reply to her letter be-

fore this, and here her letter still re«

mained in Father Allen’s wallet. He

must get rid of Ma in some way. So

great was the extremity that he offer-

cd to water the garden and 51100 the

hens away himself, and even to wash

the breakfast dishes and rid up the

kitchen so she could go berrying. But

M_a refused with a contempt based on

past experience. He ransacked his

brain for an excuse to get her away,

but none offered.

a picnic or something! But if there

should be one, she’d stay home to can.

He reflected somewhat vaguely that

he could begin to understand how an

apparently good man can suddenly





 





 





If only there were





this extremity, however, relief arrived

in the person of Abbie Brown, who

drove up just before dinner for the

avowed purpose of getting acquainted

with Bob’s wife. Abbie’s visits were

not usually a cause for rejoicing on

Pa's part, he considered her the worst

runabout in the neighborhood, but to-

day he received her with a cordiality

which was all but suspicious. After

dinner, Mother Allen with a longing

eye at her berries, suggested that they

have Milly come in there for the after-

noon. llut Abbie, with a wicked nose

for news, wanted to see the inside of

the new house, a desire which Father

Allen ably seconded.



Hie heaved a sigh of relief as the

screen slammed behind them and he

had the house to himself. The head-

ache, which had been his excuSe for

staying in. disappeared and, cautiously

hooking the screen and closing the in-

side door, he set to work. The wood

fire was out and the one-burner oil

stove empty. He‘filled the oil stove,

and then not realizing that the less

water the quicker the steam, he filled

the big teakettle to the brim and sat

down to wait for it to boil.





There was a long wait, but fortu-

nately no one appeared, and after a

series of bungling attempts he finally

succeeded in separating the stamp and

envelope with no more serious mishap

than two burned fingers.





Now for the paste. He went into the

pantry and had just half-filled a cup

with white flour when he heard a step

in the kitchen. Ma had got back!





“Just stirring up a little mash for

that sick chicken,” he called quaver-

ingly.



“Ma ddn’t make mash out of white

flour,” Tom’s voice piped at his elbow.



'It was only by the exercise of super-

human control that Pa saved the cup

“Yes, and how’d you get in? Thought

“You march right out of here to that

“Ma didn't say I had to weed,"

Tom’s injured tones came back as he

went through the kitchen. “All a fel‘

ler does round here is work.”



Once more Edoue Father Allen made

sure all doors Wt’l'e locked, and then

returned to his task of making an en.

velope to fit his letter and getting it

properly addressed and stamped. The

letter carrier had gone by for the day.

but if he walked to the corner a mile

going into town. He had to crawl

through the bedroom window to get

away without being seen from the oth~

unlocking the doors.



He was barely in time to catch the

mail, but at last the fatal letter was

out of his hands. The carrier read the

HOSE farm women who have



gone into canning commercially,



and many who can on a large

Scale for themselves, have long known

the merits of steam pressure canners.

Not'so many, however, have consid-

ered using the same principle, steam

pressure, for cooking. The few who

have experimented with steam pres-

sure cookery are enthusiastic about it

for many reasons, chief of” which are

the saving in time and in fuel.



Consider, for instance, cooking a pot

roast or a tough fowl in forty-five min-

utes, and the vegetables which go with

it in ten. Best of all, consider cooking

them all in the same utensil over one

flame and you see how the pressure

cooker saves time and fuel. To furth-

er illustrate the time-saving, consider

cooking corned beef, which takes four

hours on the stove, in one and a quar-

ter hours, a ham in sixty-five minutes,

baked beans in twenty-five minutes af-

ter they have been parboiled in soda

water and prepared for the final cook-

ing, beets in thirty minutes, turnips,

potatoes and cabbage in ten, and oat-

meal, which calls for three hours cook-

ing, in fifteen minutes.



To the housekeeper who is used to

the old way of cooking these things

seem incredible; yet the women who

have used pressure cookers claim it

can be done.



There are several makes of cookers

on the market, but the most common

type looks not unlike a big aluminum

kettle with a steam guage and pet—cock

on top of a tightly fitting lid. A small

quantity of boiling water is put in the

bottom of the cooker, a rack inserted

on which to set vessels containing the

food, the prepared food is put in, the

cover adjusted, and the cooker set

,.,0ver the fire. It is then a matter of

“getting up steam” and regulating the

quantity for the required number of

minutes. Full directions for using the

cooker go with each make, as well as

a cook book giving recipes and exact

time to allow for cooking.





Aside from the saving in time and

fuel there are several other points to

recommend the cooker to housewives.

For one thing, there is a labor-saving

when it comes to dishwashing. Foods

cooked in the pressure cooker do not

burn on, nor stick on, so there is none

of the disagreeable scraping and scour-

ing to do. Then, as the dishes are not

in contact with the stove, there is no

soot on cooking dishes.



Strong flavored vegetables, as on—

!O’ns and cabbage, may be cooked in

it Without having the house filled with

odors. As no steam can escape the

”odors, of course, are all retained in

,.the cooker. When ready to open, the

, cooker may be taken out of the kitch-

‘ejn, or stood by an open window, and

the petcock opened to allow all steam

to escape. In this way the odor goes

outdoors. Besides, the vegetables may

rho cooked at the same time and in the

medish with potatoes or other veg-

that foods cooked in it do not lose so

much in shrinkage as when cooked in

the oven or by boiling. The woman

who has seen a good-sized roast shrivel

up to nothing in the oven on company

day will appreciate this fact. Then,

too, all the juices are retained in the

cooker, and may be served as a sauce

with the meat or vegetable.



The pressure cooker is a labor—sav-

ing, time-saving and fuel-saving house-

hold appliance, but do not make the

mistake of trying to cook all your

foods in it. Of course, it will not fry

foods nor broil them, and every family

wants well-broiled steak or chops at

times. While frying is not the best

form of cooking it has its place in the

economy of cooking. If you buy a

cooker do not tire the family out by

serving nothing but steamed meals.

Vary the menu occasionally, reserving

the cooker for a stand-by. Roasts may

be done in the cooker, however, if they

are put in a hot oven to brown for fit-

teen minutes after removing from the

cooker. Or they may be browned first,

and then steamed.



If you do- your fruit and vegetables

by the cold pack method the cooker

may be utilized as a canner. The fam-

ily size cooker will hold three quart

cans or five pints, and as it needs only

one flame, and the time of processing

is considerably less than for the hot

water bath method, much labor, fuel

and time are saved by its use.



The cookers come in various sizes,

family size, medium and hotel size, a

fact which must be remembered in or—

dering. Many families with the camp-

ing habit are utilizing the cooker for

camp fire meals. It will give as good

results over the camp fire, as when

used with a range, or with oil or gaso-

lene, gas or electricity.



Still another type of cooker is on





’ .7 ‘ '¢'_. .

\ '~ 't/r

-‘....,_« _‘_/_ ’-—~..‘ ,/





the market. This is in shape and size

not unlike the small ovens made to fit

over the burner of a stove. The fam-

ily size is twenty-one and one-half

inches high and eleven and three-

fourths inches square. It is furnished

with four removable shelves and two

pans, and will hold an entire dinner,

or fourteen quart cans. Its makers do

not claim for it the quick cooling

claimed for other makes. Corned beef,

for instance, calls for thirty minutes

to the pound, and vegetables practical-

ly the same time called for in kettle

cooking. Its size, or rather its'holding

capacity, is an argument in its favor

as a time and fuel saver, however. It

will hold practically enough for two

meals for the ordinary family, and





while the dinner is cooking, the hot-





dishes for supper could be cooked, too,

and quickly warmed at night. Or on

canning days, cooking and canning

might be carried on at once in the

same cooker, the cans occupying one-

half the space, and the top, with its

shelf, giving enough room to cook a

dinner.



With this type of cooker cans are

not sterilized before being filled. They

are simply washed clean, filled, the hot

syrup of water poured into the center,

and placed in the cooker. The steam

which sterilizes the fruit or vegetable,

sterilizes cans, tops, and rubbers as

well.





BRIGHTENING OLD HATS.





 





OFT felt. hats can be cleaned by

washing in a mixture’ot’ one table-

Flowers and feathers may have their

tion of oil paint and gasoline. Tubes

of paint may be bought at any art or

is mixed with enough gasoline to dis-

sary will depend on the size of the

article dipped. If it is large the whole

tube may be required. The color of

the mixture should be just- a little

darker than the desired color of the

flowers when dry. With the use of a.

brush, flowers may be shaded or tint-

ed two or more colors.

IMMORAL PLAYS 'MENACE THE

HAT indecency on the stage is a;



menace to physical health‘ is the

somewhat novel view brought out by,

Perriton Maxwell, of Bayside, Long Is-

land, a former magazine editor. He

has written a letter to the health com-

missioner of his district asking the aid

of the health department in dealing

with corrupt plays, and he takes the





. ground that an immoral play is as det-





rimental to the health as a.public sew-

er would be if placed in- the middle of

the theater. The health commissioner

agrees with him on the ground that

of the sirens. The sirens were beau-

tiful maidens who lived on an island.

When a ship was passing, they played

such entrancing music that the sailors

were drawn to the shore, where the

sirens killed them. When Ulysses

passed the fatal island, he gave orders

to his sailors to bind him to the mast,

and to stuff his ears with way, so that

he could not hear the sirens play. He

charged his men, that, no matter how

hard he might beg them, they were

not to release him until they were

well past the island. But when Orphe-

us’s ship made the same journey, he

simply played so loud and so skillfully

on the harp that he could not hear the

sirens. That is the secret of divine

strength. We give our attention to

that, and other activities do not at-

tract us.





 





HE journey is too great for thee.”

Elijah had just completed an her-

culean task. Without human aid, he

had met and vanquished the four hun-

dred prophets of Baal. The strain had

been intense, the victory__had been ov-

erwhelming. But'in the hour of tri

mnph the heathen queen had given or-

ders to take his life, and he had been

compelled to flee. The reaction from

conquest to conquered had been so

great, the loneliness of the desert

Whither he had fled was in such death-

like contrast to the feverishactivity of

the preceding days, that even the

mighty spirit of Elijah is overcome. He

wants to die. He feels that he has fail-

ed. “But he himself went a day’s

journey into the wilderness, and came

and sat down under a juniper tree:

and he requested for himself that he

might die.” But now comes that beau-

tiful and dramatic touch of the Divine

hand. “And as he lay and slept under

a juniper treey b’ehold, an angel touch~

ed him, and said unto him, Arise and

eat. And he looked and behold, there

‘Was a ‘cake baken on the coals, and a

mum of water at his head. And he did

eat and drink and laid him down

again. And the angel of the Lord came

again the second time, and touched

him, ‘and said, Arise and eat; because

~ the journey is too great for thee. And





,





I «he- arose and did eat and: drink, and





in _ " strength of that meat forty

‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ 131:0 Horeb the,





 





 





     





That is a gripping picture of the

care of God for His child. And it ac-

cords exactly with what Christ has

taught us about God. He said that

God is our Father; that as a father

looks after his little child, takes him

on his knee, cuddles him up, tucks him





in bed at night, provides for his needs, '





and is not deaf when he asks for

things, so our unseen heavenly Father

gives good things to those who ask

Him.





HE journey is too great for thee.”



Young folks do not like to admit

that anything is too great for them.

They can do this and that, and that

is the glory of youth. That is What

made the American soldier so effective

on the battlefields of France. He felt”

that he was there to win. As Emerson

puts it:

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,



So near is God to man,



\Vhen duty whispers low. thou must,



The youth replies, I can.



But there comes a time when the

journey is too great for any one. That

time may come much sooner than we

expect. Not that our powers are going

to suddenly all, but because new and

unexpected burdens may be laid on us.

Hence, the man, the woman, who has

a reserve of power to which he can

turn at any time, is the one who will

bear his burdens with greatest ease.

That Power is God. The way of draw-

ing on that power is through prayer.





The pictures We have of big men

who have been men of prayer is most

impressive. They have been big, often

because they prayed. Moses is a giant.

Many consider him the greatest figure

of the Old Testament. You frequently

come uppn expressions like these:

“And when Moses heard it. he fell on

his face;” “And Moses cried unto the

Lord.” One of the leading generals

in the Confederate Army in the Civil

War was Stonewall Jackson. He was.‘

I believe, never beaten in battle, until

the battle in which he was killed. He

was a man of much prayer. When he

was teaching in the military academy,

he always breathed a prayer that his

influence over the class that day might

be good. When the class was dismiss-

ed he prayed again, that good might;

go with the boys. “'hen the war came.’

he continued to pray for the soldiers

who served under him. On the other

side, in the Union Army was General

0. 0. Howard. He, too, was known as

a praying general. He lost a hand in

the war. After the war, while raising

money for Howard University for col—

ored youth, the stump of his arm great-

ly pained him. People jostled him on

the streets and made him irritable. He

feared the habit would grow, and he

would become a peevish, irascible old

man. Hence he resolved to pray for

all whom he met, especially for any-

who should crowd him and hurt his?

arm. It is hardly to be wondered at,

that Howard was such a power, in his

day. His life fills a large volume.





The late Captain Robinson. of the

Union Castle Line, whose steamships

ply between South Africa and Eng-

land, was another of these men who

know how to draw on the great reser-

voir of power. In forty years he had

never had an accident. Each morning

he conducted prayers on the after

deck, and on Sunday he held four ser-

vices, one for the first-class passen-

gers, one for the'second-class, one for

the steerage, and one for children, the

last being held in his own cabin. Pas-

sengers at night, when the watchman

in the crow’s‘ nest was calling, “Four

bells and all’s well,” or “Eight bells

and all’s well,” have seen him raise

his hand to: heaven and heard him say.

INE boys, including myself, and

N one girl, accompanied by Mr.



Huber, one of our farm bureau

executives, left Charlotte on November

26 for the International Live Stock

Show at Chicago. We arrived that

evening and we boys all went to the

Y. M. C. A. Hotel where we secured

our rooms for the entire time we were

to stay.



The next morning was Sunday, so

most of us Went to some church. I

went to Orchestra Hall for the morn-

ing church services. In the afternoon

a sight-seeing bus was secured to take

the Michigan group out to Lincoln

Park. There We saw a wonderful -col-

lection of birds and animals, both

large and small. 011 the return trip

we drove along by the side of the lake

but could not get a very good view

because of the mist in the air. We

left the bus at the Art Museum and

proceeded through the building, where

we saw some wonderful specimens of

sculpture work. In the evening all the

club people went to Orchestra. Hall,

where we were supposed to hear Mr.

Josephus Daniels, former secretary of

the navy, but who was unable to get

there. However, a splendid lecture

was given and I am sure all the club

people enjoyed it very much.



Monday morning we all left for the

stock show, on a special eleyated train

’ of eight cars. After we arrived we had

the rest of the day to look over that

which we were more particularly inter-

ested in. We saw some of the finest

cattle, horses, sheep' and hogs‘in the

world probably, which you would very

rarely see except at a place like this.

There was stock from Canada, Europe

and the United States, all showing

that great care had been taken in fit-

ting- them.



In one department we saw large ex-

hibits of grains and hays. At one end“

in the center was a mammoth ear of

corn probably twenty—five feet tall and

three feet across at the bottom. At

one side were exhibits of corn, rye,

wheat, etc.



In the evening. we all met at the

“Y” and there Mr. Turner led us in a

few songs. Yelling and song contests

were held with a couple of demonstra-

tions. The official announcements of

the prize winners in contests were

also given out. .



The next morning, November 29,

was packing house day and we were

- divided into four groups each to go to

one of the following houses: Morris,

Wilson, Swift and Armour. I went to

Morris & Co.’s plant. We started in

the hog killing plant where we saw

”every step from the killing until he

was cut and cured ready for the mar-

kets. They kill about 560 hogs an hour

and it takes one pig only twenty min-

utes from the time he is stuck until he

is in the refrigerator. They work eight

hours a day and the sticker gets sixty-

five cents an hour. Everything was

kept very clean. The majority of the

workers were colored, with the excep-

tion of the government inspectors and

a few others.“ We took lunch with

Morris & Co. in their high-class cafe-

teria. After luncheon, a short program

and a click of the camera, we left for

the beef-killing plant. All of the dif-

ferent plants were operated on the

same plan. At six o’clock all members

went to Wilson & Co’s for dinner.

After a splendid meal We saw Mr. VVil-

son, who gave a short talk. After

many songs and a delightful evening

we returnedwto the hotel.



November 30 we went through the

Montgomery Ward Company mail or-

der house. \Ve were taken through

the large stock rooms and witnessed

the wonderful system of filling orders.

At twelve o’clock we visited the Board

of Trade where we viewed the great-

est grain market in the world. It costs





 





 





$6,600 for standing room in the pit

and there are only 1,611 men who have

this privilege. All the grain is bought

and sold by the sign system and is just

as binding as if the 'sale had been

written. At 1:15 we were guests of the

Board of Trade "at luncheon at the

Central Y. M. C. A. building. The af-

ternoon was spent viewing the Mar-

shall Field department store.

December 1 we all visited the Mc-

Cormick Harvester Company plant. In

one department we saw where millions

of feet of binder twine were made an:

nually. We also saw the process of

making many of our farm tools. Many

parts with which I was familiar were

seen in the process. We were guests

of the company for luncheon. where

we received one of the finest meals

while we were in Chicago. After

lunch a short program followed and

Mr. McCormick gave a short address.

This concluded our principal activities

while at Chicago, where we met a

large number of people and made

many friends. I think the trip was

very interesting and well worth while.

best pullets.



Last summer Mr. Kebler, our county

club leader, taught us how to judge

egg-producing hens. We then attended

the institute at Chatham.



All the girls and boys belonging to

clubs demonstrated. Our club took

first place in the upper peninsula and

were awarded a trip to the State Fair

at Detroit with expenses paid. My

team mates are Hazel Neuville and

Milton Corey.



The State Fair at Detroit started on

Friday, September 2, and closed Mon-

day, September 11. Our club left for

Detroit on Tuesday, September 6.



The first thing we saw was the black

porter. We took the sleeper and rode

all night and all day. We saw many

wonderful things while going through

the big cities: At Chicago w.e trans-





. 'ferred from the Chicago & Northwest-





ern to the Michigan Central Railroad.





 





 





 





While we were transferring, one of

the boys from Rapid River looked out

of the window and said, “Gee! ain’t

that a big building?” Leaving Chicago

at 9:05 o’clock we passed through

Jackson, Wayne, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti,

Kalamazoo and other cities. At Kala-

mazoo, they sold celery to the people

on the train for only twenty-five cents

a bunch. We got into Detroit at 6; 00





o’clock, eastern time, where we met





one of the club leaders, Miss Hall, from

Iron county. We then took the street

car that took us to the fair grounds.

It was ten miles from the station to

the fair grounds and took us forty-

eight minutes to go out there.

They had tents fixed for the boys

and the Alladin House for the girls.

The next day we demonstrated at

11:00 o’clock a. m. and at 1:00 o’clock

p. In. eastern time. There were about

one hundred different breeds repre-

sented. In the afternoon, we went

around to the different exhibits, where

they had a wonderful display of every-

thing, horses, cows, sheep and hogs.

In the dairy building was a” cow and

maid moulded out of butter. 0

, f. - -.





 





Trip to the International





remain hard. In the afternoon, they

featured one of the most daring stunts

that I ever saw, a man jumped from

one aeroplane to the other. The man

stood on the wings and when the oth-

er plane came he jumped for it. Last

year a woman performed this stunt.

when she jumped to catch the other

plane, she fell and was killed.



The most of the club girls and. boys,

with their leaders, were taken through

Belle Isle. Through the courtesy of

The Michigan Farmer We saw the fa-

mous Ford factOIies.



When we reached the Michigan

Farmer

This is the yell:





. You haven’t got the pep,

You haven’t got the jazz,

You haven’ t got the news

That the Michigan Farmer has.





They then took us through the build-

ing and showed us how this magazine

is printed. We also saw the pictures

they took of the Menominee county





team at Chatham that were published '





September 24, 1921.



We then made one more stop, and

that was when the Michigan Farmer

gave us a free ticket to have a glass

of ginger ale at the place it was made.



we then entered into Belle Isle,

where we saw many of the larger ani-

mals, buffaloes, elks, bears and deer.

We went through the aquarium where

they keep all sea-living animals.



When we were in Belle Isle we were

right on the boundary line between

the United: States and Canada. We

then returned to the fair grounds, mak-

ing it a round trip of thirty-two miles.



The next. day we left the fair

grounds at 6.15 o’clocltiand got to De‘

troit station at about 7:00 o’clock. We

then took the train at 7:15 and went

to Lansing. We ‘got there at 10:00

o’clock. There we visited the Michi-

gan Agricultural College and the Cap-

ital Building. The Capital really is a

wonderful building.



The M. A. C. has several buildings

which, it" you wanted to go through

them all, would take you considerable

time. We left Lansing about 11:00

o’clock and got into Chicago at about

8:00 o’clock the next morning. There

we left my team mate, Hazel Neuville,

after which we visited the Field Mus-

eum. The width of this building is 350

feet and its length 700 feet. There are

four floors which cover about twenty-

four acres.



We then took the 6:00 o’clock train

and got into Stephenson at 3:17

o’clock in the morning.



The day following my return, the

Clovelland Fair started and We Were

asked to demonstrate on Friday, Sepc

tember 16,1921.



I wish to thank everyone who help-

ed make this trip possible for myself

and the rest of the team, for we cer-

tainly enjoyed every minute of it. As

I draw the story of this. pleasant trip

to a close, I wish to encourage every

girl and. boy of club age to get into

some kind of boys’ and girls’ club with

all the “pep” they have.

WHEAT





Exports of wheat and flour from the

United States for the season amounts

to 181,156,000 bushels compared with

176,336,000 bushels in the same period

of 1920. Exports during December are

estimated at about 18,000,000 bushels

so that in the first half of the crop

year the total will be practically 200,-

000,000 bushels. This Is the full

amount generally allowed for as our

exportable basis. It may be that do-

mestic requirements will be less than

expected and revisions of the crop es-

timate may be made but it is apparent;

that the market is perilously close to

a domestic basis, especially in view

of the low condition of the new crop

of winter wheat in the southwest.





CORN





Receipts of corn at primary mar-





kets last week almost equaled the rec- ,





0rd quantity of the preceding week.

Cash demand broadened and the pros-

pect of extensive purchases for Rus-

sian relief together with Increased for-

eign buying through regular channels

brought about a moderate upturn

which seems to have started a fresh

wave of country selling. Exports of

corn during the eleven months ending

November 30 amounted to 118,811,000

bushels compared with 14,720,000 bush-

els in the same period of 1920. Heavy

exports are expected throughout the

winter. In addition, farm consump-

tion will undoubtedly be heavy as the

result of low prices so that serious in-

roads will be made upon the surplus

which existed at, the beginning of the

crop year on November 1.





OATS





The oats crop still labors under an

excessive visible supply, and the move-

ment from farms is holding up better

than generally expected. Export sales

are still .light and demand from that





" . . quarter promises to specialize on Can-





Clearances from the Unit-

ed States in November were only 132,-





000 bushels.

SEEDS

are believed to have sold most of their

surplus, and in some s-ectionsremain—

ing holdings are priced aboVe the mar-

ket. It is generally expected that de-

mand will be adequate to absorb the

light crop which is also below the av-

erage in quality.





FEEDS





Bran prices at the leading milling

centers are now the highest in six

months. Stocks of bran for immediate

shipment, are not large, but increased

operation of flour mills is expected in

January and offerings of wheat feeds

for January and February shipment

are liberal. The best demand for tank-

age ever known at this season is re-

ported. Mill stocks of cottonseed cake

and meal are 30,000 tons more than on

the same date last year and cottonseed

stocks are 200,000 tons larger. Linseed

meal is scarce as a result of a short





flax crop.

HAY





The reduction of about 15 per cent

in freight rates in western territory





which go into effect December 27 is.





expected to increase shipments of hay

as producers in some of the surplus

sections have been waiting for this re-

lief. Feeders and dealers have been

delaying purchases hoping to share in

the benefit of this reduction.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg markets regained part of their

recent losses during the past week.

(Told weather and the holiday trade

seem to have increased the demand.

Receipts at the four leading cities are

running materially larger than at the

same season last year, but steady in-

roads are being made upon cold stor—

age holdings which now total 803,251

cases at these points compared with

501,487 cases on the same date last

year.

BUTTER





In spite of a light increase in (1e-

mand due to the approaching holidays,

butter trade has been a slow, weak

affair. The Danish butter market

slumped badly and quotations on b t~

ter delivered to this country have be u

very low. This competition depressed

New York below Chicago most of the

time, but there was partial recovery

toward the close. In addition, about

32,000 boxes of New Zealand and Ar-

gentine butter are expected at San

Francisco and Vancouver between now

and the middle of January. Receipts

at the four leading markets increased

again so that the reduction in cold

storage holdings was not as rapid as

the trade hoped for. Fancy grades

have been relatively scarce while me-

dium and undergrades have been plen—

tiful, and the markets for them almost

demoralized.



Prices for 92—score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 42%0; New York

42. At Detroit fresh creamery iin tubs

sells at 38@381/2c.





POTATOES





Shipments of potatoes have decreas-

ed until they are now below the esti-

mated average weekly consumptive re-

quirements, so that supplies accumu-

lated in distributing markets are being

reduced. The total movement from

the eighteen leading potato states up

to December 17 was about 20,000 cars

ahead of the movement last year to

the same date, in spite of the fact that

the crop is lighter this year. Maine

10 to 15 per cent higher than the re-

cent London auction. Gexman buyers

have been less active, due to weak—

ness of the mark, but. the British wool-

en export trade has improved and buy- '

ers from that country have been mak-

ing extensive purchases of South

American wools. .The woolen goods

FREIGHT RATES AND THE

FARMER.





(Continued from page 620). .



Take, for example, Culbertson, Ne-

braska: On August 1, 1914, the price

of corn was sixty cents a bushel; the

freight rate to Chicago was fourteen

centS’a bushel. At that time the labor

of transportation received forty per

cent of the gross railroad receipts, or

five‘ and one-half cents a bushel. On

November 1, 1921, the price of corn

at Culbertson, Nebraska, was twenty-

one and one-half cents a bushel and

the freight rate twenty-three and five-

eighth cents; labor received sixty per

cent of this, or fourteen and one- -eighth

cents. From the above it will be not-

ed that While the price of corn at Cul-

bertson, on November‘l, was slightly

more than one-third of the August 1,

1914, price, labor received for the mere

act of transporting this corn to Chica-

go, approximately ‘three times as much

as it did in 1914.



One of the reasons for the high

freight rates is the disparity between

the hourly iates paid railroad labor

and those paid for similar work in oth-

e1 industries. The following table is

an example:

The Rock Island shop labor Situation

is under control of the government,

through the Railroad Labor Board.

Contrast with the rules maintaining

with reference to the operation of the

Rock Island Arsenal, a government in-

stitution located in the vicinity of the

Rock Island Railroad shops. Para-

graph 168 of Ordinance Regulations of

1907, now effective, reads as follows:



“The wages allowed to mechanics

and other hired workmen should be

the same per day as those paid per day

by private establishments in the vicin-

ity for thesame kind and grade of

work.”



It is impossible for railroads to re-

adjust their freight rates in line with





the price received for the products of‘

the farm until the railroad labor sit11Ǥ





ation is properly adjusted by the Rail—

road Labor Board. Sixty per cent of

the gross receipts of the railroads now

go to pay railroad labor, as compared

to forty per cent before the war. This

radical difference is further increased

by the relatively high wage rates be-

ing paid.



Inability of Implement Manufacturers

to Adjust Prices to Farmers’ Buying

Power.



Implement prices today have been

more radically adjusted downward than

most other products which farmers

buy. The average increase over pre-

war levels of the industry as a whole

is but little over forty per cent. The

materials which go into implement

manufacture show an average increase

in cost over pre-war levels of approxi-





'.mately seventy per cent.

“Then they sent for you today?”

“No; but they have just got back,





and I thought I would come to see if





anything was wanted. But never mind

about me; you——how did you-get here?

What are you doing here?”



Eaton drew further back into the





' alcove as some one passed through the





hall above. The girl turned swiftly to

the tall pier mirror near to which she

stood; she faced it, slowly drawing off

her gloves, trembling and not looking

toward him. The footsteps ceased ov-

erhead; Eaton, assured no one was

coming down the stairs, spoke swiftly

to tell her as much as he might in

their moment. “He—Santoine——wasn’t

taken ill on the train, Edith; he was

attacked.”



“Attacked!” her lips barely moved.



“He was almost killed; but they

concealed it, Edith—pretended he was

only 111. I was on the train—you know,

of course; I got your wire—and they

suspected me of the attack.”



“You? But they didn’t find out about

you, Hugh?”



“No; they are investigating. San-

toin6\\would not let them make any-

thing public. He brought me here

while he is trying to find out about

me. So I’m here, Edith—here! Is it

here, too?”



Again steps sounded in the hall

above. The girl swiftly busied herself

with gloves and hat; Eaton stood

stark in suspense. The servant above

it was a servant they had heard

before, he recognized noxvémerely

“It ?” She formed the question noise-

lessly.



“The draft of the new agreement.”



“It either has been sent to him, or

it will be sent to him very soon—

here.”



”Here in this house with me!”



“Mr. Santoine has to be a party to

it—he’s to draft it, I think. Anyway,

he hasn’t seen it yet—I know that. It

is either here now, Hugh, or it will be

here before long.”



“You can’t find out about that?”



”Whether it is here, or when it will

be? I think I can.”



“Where will it be when it is here?”



“Where? Oh!” The girl’s eyes went

to the wall close .to where Eaton stood;

she seemed to measure with them a

definite distance from the door and a

point shoulder high, and to resist‘the

impulse to come over and put her

hand on the spot. As Eaton followed

her look, he heard a slight muffled

click as if from the study; but no

sound could reach them through the

study doors and what he heard came

from the wall itself.



“A safe?” he whispered. ,



“Yes; Miss Santoine—she’s in there,





Now the girl’s lips moved

isn’t she?—closed it just now. There

are two of them‘hidden behind the

books one on each side of the door.”



Eaton tapped gently on the Wall;

the wall was brick; the safe undoubt-

edly was backed with steel.



“The best way is from inside the

room,” he concluded.



She nodded. “Yes.



“Look out!”



Some one now was coming down-

stairs. The girl had time only to whis-

per swiftly, “If we don’t get a chance

to speak again, watch that vase.” She

pointed to a bronze antique which

stood on a table near them. “When

I’m sure the agreement is in the house,

I’ll drop a glove-button in that—a

black one, if I think it’ll be in the safe

on the right, white on the left. Now

go.”



Eaton moved quietly on and into the

drawing-room. Avery’s voice immedi-

ately afterwards was heard; he was

speaking to Miss Davis, whom he had

found in the hallway. Eaton was cer-

tain there was no suspiciOn that he

had talked with her there; indeed, Av-

ery seemed to suppose that Eaton was

still in the study with Harriet San-

toine. It was her lapse, then, which

had let him out and had given him

covered, which was not likely to favor,





him again. From that time, while





never held strictly in restraint, he





found himself always in the sight of

some one. Blatchford, in default 011





any one else, now appeared to assume —~





the oversight of him as his duty. Ea-

ton lunched with Blatchford, dined

with Blatchford and. Avery—Blatch-

ford’s presence as a buffer against Av-

ery’s studied offense to him alone

making the meal endurable. Eaton

went to his room early, where at last

he was left alone.



The day, beginning with his discov-

ery of the fact that he was in San-

toine’s house and continuing through

the walk outside, which first had

shown him the lay of the grounds, and

then the chance at the sight of San-

toine’s study ”followed by his meeting

just outside the study door—all this

had been more than satisfactory to

him. He sat at his window thinking

it over. The weather had been clear

and there was a moon; as he watched

the light upon the water and gazed

now and then at the south wing

where Santoine had his study, sudden-

ly several windows on the first floor

blazed out simultaneously; some one

had entered Santoine’s work-room and

turned on the light. Almost at once

the light went out; then, a minute or

so later, the same windows glowed

dully. The lights in the room had been

turned on again, but heavy, opaque

curtains had been drawn over the win-

dows before the room was relighted.
