FEW miles east of the village of



Okemos on the Grand‘River Road



may be seen a neatly painted

signboard which states, “One half mile

to Foster Experimental Farm and Marl

Beds.” If one “follows the arrow” he

will arrive at Pleasant Knoll Farm. It

is owned by the Foster family, which

consists of Mr. S. A. Foster, wife and

daughter.



Mr. Foster is one of the most en-

thusiastic readers of modern agricul-

tural practices that is to be found in’

Michigan. No meeting scheduled at

the Michigan Agricultural College es-

capes his notice. If there'is a possi-

bility of it being of interest or value

to him he calls up some of his friends

and obtains inside information on it.





County Farm Has

yielded about ten to ’twenty bushels

per acre and rye from ten to eighteen

bushels. The corn crop was usually

good because of manure from the cows

being placed on the land. There was

no Silo on the farm then, nor is there

at" the present time. The corn that

was grown was fed from the shock to

the live stock. Potatoes produced

about seventy-five bushels of market-

able ones per acre.



This general plan was followed from

1903 to 1915 when something happen-,

ed. About that time Mr. Foster began

to read and study along soil fertility

lines. This was just prior to Farmers’

Moreover he travels extensively in or-





' der to see that he may learn. He has





visited the Illinois Experiment Sta-

tion fertility plots as well as others,

seeking out‘ information on methods

for soil improvement. In other words,

he is not provincial, either in his liv-

ing or thinking. '



As a result of certain events in his

life, which I shall mention ,presently,

Mr. Foster follows unusual methods

of farming. He is an ardent believer

in, and what is more important, a user

of green manure crops, lime and fertil-

izers. He follows certain practices be-





' cause he has found them to be both





pleasant and profitable. ,



This farm is more than eighty years

of age, having been previously owned

,by.the senior Foster. The farm is com-

posedof one hundred and twenty-three

acres, sixty of which are made up

chiefly of brownish loamy sand to the

depth of eight inches and underlaid by

yellowish sand to.the depth of several

.feet, and the remaining sixty-seven





. acres on muck land.

Week at East Lansing during the win-

terrrof 1915. He attended the meetings

and came in contact- with the owners

of marl beds and heard talks on the

liming of land and other subjects. The

evening of the first day he went home,

shoveled the snow from a spot on his

muck land and dug through the latter

into the grayish deposit, collected sam-

ples and brought them to the M. A. C.

soils department, the following morn-

ing to have them tested. This was done

for him and the samples were found

to be a fairly good grade of marl. He

also collected samples of soil from his

farm which were tested and found to

be sour or in need of lime, low in hu~

mus, containing slightly more than one

per cent and deficient in phosphorus,

carrying about four hundredths of one

per cent, or eight hundred and forty

pounds per' acre.



One of the college professors being

more or less human, although this pos-

sibility is doubted by some,"iscbuted a

live wire and took up cooperative proj-

ects with Mr. Foster; arrangements

were made for the project to be started

in the spring. Strips of land across

the fields were treated—some had

er on the test plots or general field

a perfect stand of clover and an excel-

lent crop was obtained. This was the

first crop of clover that had been

grown in forty years. Marl, acid phos-

phate and manure proved to be a good

trio on this land.



Foster Gets the Sweet Clover Bug.



He scon realized that his soil was

almost depleted of vegetable matter

by farming methods practiced for

many~ years, the hillsides washed and

gullies formed and the sand was mig-

ratory in its habits. that is to say,_it

did not remain in one position but was

shifted about to a greater or less ex-

tent by the wind. _Mr. Foster could

see the result of these conditions so

he started soil improvement by apply-

ing six yards of marl and two hundred

pounds of acid phosphate per acre and

seeding sweet clover in the ‘small

grain. The entire crop of sweet clover





out of the ground. The clover is tum-

ed under in May and three hundred

pounds of acid phosphate are added

per acre and potatoes planted. This

completes one round of the rotation.



As stated previously, all vegetable

matter produced on the farm iscare-

fully saved and returned to the soil,

the straw from two acres of the small

grain being placed on one acre of land.

The soil no longer washes or gullies

and does not flow as a result of these

treatments.

' He is going to determine the bene-

fits, if any, to be obtained from the

use of potash. Judging from the na-

ture of his soil and the system follow-

ed, as well as results obtained else-

where in Michigan, potash should in-

crease the yield of potatoes as well as

the clover.



The Farm Lay-out Altered.



Owing to changes in his system of

farming, Mr. Foster at once set about

to alter the arrangement of his fields.

There are no fences on the larger

Years Previous to the Use of Marl.





which was good was turned under.

Straw, that was obtained from two

acres of small grain was applied to

one acre of land. This latter practice

is still followed. Potatoes followed the

green manure crop and again two hun~

dred and fifty pounds of the phosphate

were applied. The first year ‘the phos-

phate was applied to the potatoes it

brought a. net return of $14 per acre.

A Three-year Rotation is Followed.



The system being followed on this

farm consists of small grain, oats with

clover seeded early with two hundred

pounds of sixteen per eent acid phos-

phate per acre. He has found that the

sweet clover grows so large, that by

the time the oats are harvested they

spoil in'the bundle and he is obliged

to+seed either June or Mammoth clo-





-~ver instead in- the oats. "The cat crop,

is followed by, wheat. sweet clover be: >

11.18 seeded as soc th '





 





tracts of land which are oblong in

shape and accessible.



Mr. Foster’s marl bed is rather wet

during the rainy season and'for some

time thereafter. So during the sum-

mer he takes advantage of the. rather

dry condition of the marl, removes a

sufficient amount of the material and

places it in a heap to be distributed

later on in the season at his leisure. He

uses an ordinary manure spreader to

scatter this marl on the land. He does

not apply less than six cubic yards per

acre and on one particular portion of

the farm which is very light and ex-

tremely unproductive,_ he uses much





larger quantities than this for the pro- ‘





duction of alfalfa.

CURRENT COMMENT





 





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





Sloth has brought down more men

and more nations than has the sword.





What is more common than animos-

ities between parties who must coop-

erate to gain their own subsistence?





It is a sad commentary that so many

people are so deeply concerned for

the reputation of. their wit while so

few are anxious for their integrity.





No greater calamity can befall a

neighborhood than a little gossip

which, when grown rends the neigh-

bors into two classes and makes these

classes strangers to each other.





UST a few years

ago many men who





The , through industry and

Farmer 5 t h rif t found them-

Taxes selves in, possession





of a comfortable com-

petence to support them in their de-

clining years, elected to spend those

years in the country or the small coun-

“try town and remain supporting fac-

tors in the community where they had

spent their active life, rather than to

move to some urban community and

pay the much higher tax rate required

to support the service demanded by

the urban population. But this reason

for this class of people remaining in

their old home communities no longer

exists. Country tax rates have not

only jumped up to city levels but have

in many instances passed them. The

tax rate in some farm communities

has mounted to four per cent of the

assessed valuation, which has been

I raised to approximate the actual cash

value of the property. In very many

communities the‘rate is around three

per cent of the assessed valuation. In

the editor’s home community it is just

_a fraction below this figure, due to the

fact that “special taxes” have not been

voted as freely as in some of the worse

burdened farm communities.





As this is the inventory season, we

may well take stock of what we are

getting for this increased burden of

taxation, which will average close to

» {three times the normal pre-war burden.

n. he one thing to which we can point

. inw'the writer’s community is good

u roads. These we needed and appreci-

’ ate. Although they cost too much. and

,. for the most part are not yet paid for,

‘ we can pass them as .being a public

eéessit'y under. present conditions and





 





- with our votes “almost 01 .





 





we have them, even at the cost of con-

tinued high taxes which will be requir-

ed to pay the interest and principal on

the construction bonds. In some com-

munities there are' improved schools

which fall in the same class, although

this is not the case in the writer's

community, which is responsible for

our comparatively “low” tax rate.



Outside of these local public im-

provements there have been no large

operations of this kind carried on in

the state or its minor municipalities,

except the erection of a needed state

office building. To offset this there has

been less than the usual expansion of

the plants of state educational, chari-

table and penal institutions. The ex-

pense of the conduct of all govern-

mental activities‘ has, of course, in-

creased, at least proportionately, and

in many cases out of all proportion to

the increased expense of conducting

ordinary business activities. , And in

the meantime the burden has been

doubly increased by deflation, which

the farmers of the state have felt more

keenly than any other class of busi-

ness men, if not any other class of

citizens.



It is unreasonable to suppose that

the ,farmers of the state can continue

to carry this heavy burden of taxation

under present conditions. It is hot to

the interest of the people of the state

at large that they should. Normal bus-

iness conditions cannot prevail in any

other line until they are reestablished‘

inthe basic industry of agriculture,

and there must be relief in this direc-





tion before they can obtain on the'





farms. There must be a material low~

ering in the cost of public service and





a moxe equal division of its burdens ~





And these needed reforms must be

brought about largely through the unit-

ed action of the farmers of the state

through the selection of representative

men to act for them in legislative and

administrative capacities. Such action

will insure wise economy in the ap-

propriation and expenditure of public

monies, and a just distribution of the

burdens of modern governmental ac-

tivities. Nothing else will accomplish

this result. Hence the desirability of

present discussion and future action

along this line. During the twelve

months of 1922 you will have the op-

portunity to cooperate in the selection

of officials to act for you in all state,

county and township governmental af-

fairs. The remedy for this situation,

so far as itplS capable of being rem-

edied, lies in the hands of the voters

of the state. They should take the

initiative in the selection of the best

men for these respective duties, men

whom they are sure will act for their

best interest, instead of blindly sup-

porting this or that candidate who may

aspire to public office. There are

two classes of,people interested in the

question of ‘taxation—those who pay

the taxes and those who spend them.

The former are in the great majority,

and by united, public spirited action

it is entirely possible for them to min-

imize the tax bill through insuring a

greater degree of economy and effi-

ciency in its expenditure.

of bonus and discount demands as a

condition of granting loans. Thiefcon-

A practical remedy for this situation





 

 





is no't eatsy to prescribe under present

conditions. This is the more true be-

cause this is a local, rather than a gen-

eral condition, hence the. remedy must

be a local one.

tion of a temporary expedient as com-

pared with a permanent remedy to be

considered, and the possible available

local capital for the carrying out of

any remedy which may appear feasible

in any community.



The reader

with “this situation will ask why it is

not possible to correct this situation

by law. While this may be possible it

is difficult, and perhaps the least feas-

ible remedy which may be considered.

The Michigan law at present fixes the

legal rate of interest at seven per cent.

Any higher rate is usurious under the

present law, and any contract provid-

ing for a higher rate is void, hence the

use of the subterfuges above enumer-

ated as a means of collecting, usurious

interest in advance.



“But why,” the reader may’ ask, .“do

the patrons of these proflt‘eer bankers

submit to this practice?” Simply be-

cause of their need of cash for emer-

gency use. In a previous comment we

urged our readers to “Make a. big noise

about it” where such terms were de-

manded. Some of them have replied

by asking the question: "Would you,

Mr. Editor, make a big noise about it

if you were held up by a bandit with

a gun?” And really, the: individual





farmer or the farmers’ marketing or- ‘





ganization confronted with this propo-

sition is in little better situation. Their

“Money Market” is confined to their

own community. The outside banker

owes his first obligation to his own

community, and under present condi-

tions has all or more than he can do

to discharge it, without helpingtout the

members of another community.

Hence the remedy must be a local one.



Perhaps the best temporary remedy

would be the organization“ of stock

company loan associations which could

qualify to secure funds through the

War Finance Corporation. This is fine

advice, but difficult to carry out, how-

ever, under present conditions, for the

reason that liquid capital required for

such an investment is not available in

most communities needing the remedy.

But in sections of the state Where this

practice is at all general it may be pos-

sible for public spirited and well-to-do

farmers and business men to finance

such organizations on a scale which

will afford a measure of relief. In cas-

es whererthis can be done information

as to the procedure can be secured by

writing the War Finance Corporation,

Washington, D. 0.



.Perhaps a still better scheme Would

be for the farmers and right thinking

business men of the community to

make an issue of the proposition and

organize a new bank in the community.

This is often more easily possible than

would appear on first thought. It is an

uneconomic remedy, but may be a nec-

essary one, and if applied and conduct-

ed along conservative lines a practical

one. If provision is made for conserva-

tive management there is no better or

safer investment, for any man than in

Such a financial institution in his own-

community Where there" is need of it.

. Since the close of the war there have

been many millions of dollars subscrib-

ed to the stocks of many and varied

industrial concerns by the'farmers of

Michigan. Some of this money has

probably been wisely invested. ,Muoh

of it has not. But it is a safe state-

ment that it would all have been much

more wisely invested if it had been

put into financial institutions which

would have aided in the development

of agriculture and the business inci-

dent to it in the communities where

the investors live.





 





There is also the ques-.





who is [not confronted,





Right now when '





farmers in many if not- all' sections or

the state, such a' use of the funds,





which farmers have found available for .-





investment during recent years would

have been fortunate indeed.





Is it ,not,.then, the part of wisdom to

take a leaf from the book of our past

experience and keep our investments

largely in the communities in which:

we live, giving our own business first

preference, local real estate loans the

second, and financialinstitutions which

will‘help develop our communities and

make our own holdings more valuable

at least third consideration. A broader'

community spirit is needed to this end.

It will help to solve our banking prob-

lems, as well as our other business and

social problems, .to the great ultimate





‘ betterment of the farming business and





farm life. ‘

Value of Manure.

Barnyard manure is one of the most

valuable by-products ofathe farm. How-

ever, its value can easily be and ordi-





narily is greatly lessened by certain,





adverse conditions, improper treat-

ments and modes of handling. The

soils department of the agricultural ex-

periment station at East Lansing, as

well as similar stations of other states

and countries have quite definitely de-

termined the best means of handling

manure in order to avoid losses and to

get the best returns. The purpose of

this article is to briefly consider such

methods.



The value of manure lies not only in

the fertilizing elements which it may

contain—materials for which the farm-

er pays large sums when he buys com—

mercial fertilizer—but also in the large

percentage of organic matter and the

great mass of bacteria. On the lighter

soil types especially, organic matter

may be the key to the scheme of im-

provement. The bacteria are of great

value in that they are necessary for





decay and resultant beneficial effects.

A few ounces of rotting manure may

easily contain a billion of these micro

scopic bits of life.





Manure Losses.



Carelessness and improper handling

result in enormous losses, yet it is still

no uncommon sight to see barnyards

glutted with manure which has for

months been exposed to the damaging

action of rains, “fire-fanging,” and the

type of decay which spells the word

loss in big letters. A farmer would

not think of allowing a ton of commer-

cial fertilizer to be washed by repeated

rainswyet it is no small number who

will day after day trample through the

barnyard slop and give no thought to

more economical, sanitary and efficient

methods of handling the farm fer-

tilizer. ~



Leaching or Washing out may cause

the loss of large portions of the phos-

phoric acid and potash, especially the

latter, while improper fermentation

generally results in the loss of large

quantities of ammonia, the highest

priced ingredient of commercial fertil-

izer. All three losses can be cut to a

minimum by either hauling the fertil-

izer direct to the field as it is made,

or by properly storing it in covered

pits with tight bottoms. In the latter

case, moistening and compacting the

manure prevents loss of ammonia by

excluding any large amounts of air,

and thereby setting up the kind of rot-

ting or decay which does not set free

this valuable fertilizing substance.



Poor stall floors and the lack of suf-

ficient bedding of the right sort to act

as absorbents, are common causes of

loss of liquid manure, which contains

even a larger per cent of nutrients





than the solid. Any system which fails





to take care of this is incomplete.





Under the adverse conditions of





Rural Agricultural Schools 111





HE new rural agricultural school



. meets the needs of the rural



community and great progress is

being made in the organization of such

schools.



The rural agricultural act under

which these schools are organized be-

came operative in 1919. In 1921 it was

amended, thereby . becoming more

workable and state aid was increased

During 1919-1920 about twenty-five con-

solidations were formed, and since the

opening of .this school year nearly as





_many more organizations have been





effected. Since last spring/no less

than/twelve communities in Oakland

county have waged campaigns or are

inthe midst of a campaign for the es-

tablishment of rural agricultural

schools. Seven of these have voted





' and consolidation carried in all but one





of these-communities. The other five





proposed consolidation districts will

vote in the near future.





. This places

Oakland county in the lead as to the





. number of organizations. Wexford and





Genesee counties are in the lead as to‘





the number of such schools in oper-

ation.



Among other counties that are ac-

tive in the movement or» have one or

should include as much territory as

Consolidation makes possible a high-

fact that each teacher has fewer

of work that is most congenial to her

weathering and improper decay, just

described, the loss may easily arise to

fifty per cent of the nutrient constitu-

ents, and probably much higher with

the ammonia and potash, which are

most easily lost. Experiments and

practical tests have shown that in SIX

months’ exposure, horse manure has

lost as much as Sixty per cent of its

nitrogen, forty per cent of its phos-

phoric acid and seventy-six per cent

of its potash. Converted to actual dol-

lars, this loss might represent a very

large sum on many farms.



“Fire-fanging,” an apparent burning

of manure is caused in dry, open heaps

by the action of certain fungi. Manure

thus attacked soon becomes of little

value. Moistening and compacting, the

remedies for improper fermentation,

will also prevent this action.





Spreading of Manure.



It should no longer be necessary to

caution'farmers against placing ma-

nure in small piles in the field, to be

scattered by hand later. Loss of am-

monia and uneven'distribution of plant

food are the two main reasons. A ma-

nure spreader will pay for itself in a

short time where there is any great

amount of farm fertilizer to spread.

Fineness, even spreading and saving

of labor are but a few of its many ad-

vantages.



' Reinforcement with Phosphate.



Manure contains a smaller portion

of phosphoric acid than of potash or

ammonia and istherefore an unbal-

anced fertilizer. The addition of rock

or acid phosphate, at the rate of about

forty pounds per ton of manure will

greatly increase the effectiveness of

manure. Conclusive results have been

produced as to this point. The phos-

phate can be dusted over the manure

spreader loads as they are hauled to

the field.

AIRY interests everywhere are



pleased with the inclusion 'of an

appropriation of $600, 000 to pay in-

demnities for cattle slaughtered in the

’anti—tuberculosis campaigns. This ap-

propriation is included in the recent

deficiency appropriation bill of cen-

gress. The item was placed in the bill

by the senate and was unanimously ap-

proved in conference.





 





THE STICKER IS THE WINNER.





 





'l 'HIS is no time to quit the breed-





ing and dairy business, ..Prof O. E. -

- Reed, head of the dairy. department of





the Michigan Agricultural College,





told members of the Western Michigan 5





Holstein Breeders’ Association at their

come to those who stick in the busi-

ness permanently, through lean and

fat years.



“The fellow who ‘goes in on the jump





and out on the slump gets nowhere’





said Professor Reed. “He buys when

the prices are highest and sells when





they are the lowest. "





The future of the breeding industry

depends upon the individual interest-

ed, according to Professor Reed, Who

pointed out that a cow which may be

MARSHAL FOCH FIGHTS FOR

MILK.





 





HE National Dairy Council reports



a recent incident which occurred

in Cleveland to show Marshal Foch’s

attitude toWard milk. Upon reaching

Cleveland Marshal Foch found a strike

on, and it was quite difficult to secure

milk, many deliveries having been

stopped. This did not interfere with

the great old general’s breakfast at all





' for he appealed his case to the chief





of police and secured a flying squadron





’ - which sailed under his name and with-





in an hour’s time returned to’ his train



with the morning’s supply—six quarts



of milk and six quarts or cream.

General Foch knows the value of





.' milk and recognizes that he cannor

maintain health and vitality without a

‘ good supply.





If Marshal Foch will

.fight for milk, why shouldn’t every





, man, woman and child becomea fight-

‘ er for'this essential food? '





The great French general is now

seventy years old and he knows and

says that milk is no baby’s food but,





you the/contrary, food for all ages.

MR. FOSTER FINDS HIS FARM.





 





(Continued from first page).



the land would not grow clover with

out lime. As a result of his method

of soil improvement Mr. Foster is able

when he so desires to obtain excellent

catches of_a1falfa and the yields are

also satisfactory. The marl, acid phos-

phate and organic matter tell the

story. He is marling ten acres of land

for alfalfa and plans to sell it to his

neighbors for hay. This means another

cash crop for him. He seeds alfalfa

and sweet clover on the sandy land as

early in the season as possible.





Muck Land to be Considered.





The ,muck soil on this farm is not

made use of owing to inadequate

drainage. The county drainage ditch

that runs. through it is partially filled

and as a result the water table lies

somewhat near the surface of this

muck. If this can be remedied it is

proposed to put on cooperative crops

and fertility tests on this land in the

near future. This soil may be produc:

ing excellent yields of hay, beets, rye

and others within a few years. If drain-

age can be brought about here lies an

important source of income, which is

now being neglected.





Does It Pay?



As I stated early in this article, this

system has been followed because it

proved to be pleasant and profitable

to the Foster family. As he states it,

he could not be persuaded to return

to the old way or methods followed by

his neighbors. He hires little, if any,

labor and the household duties are

less than they were formerly. He and

his wife have much time for reading

and are able to travel extensively if

they so desire. This year he sold from

the farm 1,550 bushels of: marketable

potatoes, ranging in price from $1.00 to

$1.15 per bushel. He has raised his

yield from seventy-five to upwards of

one hundred and seventy-five bushels

per acre. They were dug one day and

sold out by the evening of the next day

at the farm, the quality; of his product

being recognized. He also had two hun-

dred and forty bushels of certified rye

which sold at $1.00 per bushel. This

was disposed of for seed. In addition

he has two hundred and seventy bush-

els of inspected Worthy oats which he

proposes to sell this spring for seed-

ing purposes.



Probably the most important part of

the results is the fact that Mr. and

Mrs. Foster are intensely interested in

this matter of soil building and im-

proved varieties of grain and potatoes.

‘In fact, when one visits this home he

is impressed at once by the earnest-

ness, enthusiasm and moral atmos-

phere about it. After having-seen this

place six years ago and againrecently

i am of the opinion that the man own-

ing the land is equally as important,

Low milk yields and profitless

HOW TO DIVIDE THE MILK CHECK.





 





I would like your ‘vlew of a. fair

division of the milk check, John fur-

nishes the cows and Joe furnishes the

feed and does the work. The milk is

sold for twenty cents per gallon—-

H. S. ‘M. ~



Usually, when a man furnishes a

herd of cows with the farm renter the





cows are fed from the undivided feed





I . produced on the farm. Where extra





feed is purchased the farmer and rent-

er pay fifty-fifty and the milk check is

divided fifty-fifty. Sometimes a little

different arrangement is made with re-

gard to the increase in live stock,

much depending upon the quality of

the cows furnished, whether they are

pure-bred, grades, etc. Such things

must be considered by the parties in-

terested.





BUCKWH EAT. FOR COWS.





 





I have a few bushels of buckwheat

that I can sell for $1.25 per hundred

pounds. Which would be better, to

sell it at that price or mix a little with

corn and oats and grind .for cows?—

‘D. H. D.



J I think it would be much better to

'get your buckwheat ground into flour

and save the buckwheat middlings.

They are very rich in protein. You can

use them to mix with corn meal or

ground barley or corn or oats and get

more good out of your buckwheat than





raise corn and oats to feed you would

practically get as much good out of the

buckwheatmiddlings as you would if

you fed the whole buckwheat and you

will have the flour to sell.





TENANTZS RIGHTS lN PERSON-

ALITY.





 





I rented a farm on halves. There

was a. gasoline engine there when I

came and later it went wrong. I took

it to a garage. Am I to pay half of the

bill? I pay forall the gasoline and

the lubricating oil.——H. B.





The lease of the land gives no rights

in other personality on the land in the

absence of agreement on the subject.

And if the lease gives the use of the

personality there is no liability on the





agreement to do so.—-J. R. R.





WASTE BY MORTGAGOR.





 





A. 'bought a farm of B. on which

there was a mortgage for $2,000 and a

second mortgage for a smaller amount

and B. took an additional mortgage to

secure part of the purchase price. A.

cut some timber last winter and had it

sawed into lumber for sale, but owing

to the slump in price did not sell, but

has same piled up yet. The holder of

the first and second mortgages does

not object to the timber being cut, but

33. who has .a third mortgage is mak-

mg an awful howl and Says that he is

gomg to attach the lumber and prose-

cute for cutting the timber. Can he

do either of these? There is some in

terest past due to B.—F. W.





The cutting of timber which impairs

the security of the mortgage is waste

to which the mortgagee can object;

and he can prevent the removal and

sale of the lumber so cut, if he is not

otherwise secure.—.——J. R. R.





RAISING VEAL CALVES ON MEAL.





 





Would you tell me whether it is a

wise practice to attempt to raise calves

for vealing on separated milk and meal

at the present . prices ?——Subscriber.





Personally. I would not advocate’the

feeding-of calves on separated milk

and. calf meal for vealing, {especially





. not with whole" milk ‘sellln'gas cheaply





 





 





as it is a. {winter well





you would to grind and feed it. _ If you.





owner to repair in the absence of, an.





 

 





for the milk as can be obtained for it

in any other way unless one has a. spe-

cial market this winter. While a fair

veal calf can be produced on separated

milk and calf meal with meat as cheap

as it is this winter such calves usually

sell at a very severe discount and‘the

returns are not nearly as satisfactory

as where the calf is fed on whole milk.

The calf meals are only intended as a.

substitute for 'skimimilk in the raising

of calves where one has a good market

for their whole _milk and I would not

recommend the use of a prepared calf

‘meal for either a veal calf or a. calf

which has skim-milk—G‘f A. BROWN.





 





DAMAGES DONE BY, STOCK.





 





Am I responsible for damage done‘





by my hogs on the adjoining farms

when they get through the neighbors’

fence? The line fence is an old wire

fence with a picket about every six

feet. My shoats, weighing about 160

pounds, go through it anywhere—J. K.

In the absence of a line fence under

the statute every person is bound at

his peril to keep his stock off his

. neighbors. If there is a line fence\he

' is liable for his stock getting through

his part of the fence, and if he has not

put up his part of the fence 'he is lia-

ble for their getting through any-

where. Now, the purpose of a fence is

to confine the stock usually kept on the

farm; but as a matter of fact, few

line fences will stop Small pigs, and

our courts have never explicitly deter-

mined just how effective the fence

must be in the absence of contract.

The remedy is by appeal to the fence

‘ viewers of the town, and have them

determine What sort of a fence shall

be maintained, and whether the fence

now there is sufficient. The statute

has given that prerogative to them.—

J; R. R.





LIEN OF CHATTEL MOTRGAGE.





 





I have a renter under a lease and‘





chattel mortgage. The mortgage is on

one-half of stock, implements, etc., the

other half is mine. This renter is sued

by~a former sub-letter for part of the

renter’s undivided one-half of grain

and increase of stock of 1920 for his

rent. Does my chattel mortgage come

first, or the man who entered suit

against my renter? The lease and

chattel mortgage forbids sub-letting

any part of the farm. Can I demand





from sub-letter, rent for use of house, ‘-





poult'ry house, garden, milk and fire-

wood used while on my farm? I knew

nothing of the transaction until late

in the fall.——-J. C. F.



If the chattel mortgage is recorded

with the town clerk, it has preference

No lien is acquired by merely bringing

suit. The right to recover rent de-

pends upon contract and agreement to

pay it or facts“ from~ which such an

agreement could be implied—J. \R. R.





IMPLIElJ CONTRACT.





 





A friend, last April, brought to my

farm a young heifer to keep for him

until next spring and nothing was said

about the cost of care for her. She

has had a calf and it is sold. Now,

what share from sale of calf and milk

belongs to me?——S. L. S.



S. L. S. has no interest in the heif-

er, milk or calf, other than a lien for

his pasture. If there is an express

agreement as to the amount he is to



,have, that Settles. it. If the circum-

stances are such as to raise an infer-

ence that, the pasture was to be given

An actual fact. —this is. Mrs. Louis Mo-

Cutcheon of Kitchener, Ontario. bought a

mare for $1.00. The mare absolutely refused

to work. Even to harness her was a day s work in

itself. She kicked..bit balked and shed at every-

thing. No one on the farm could do anything W) h

her. Then a 11W told Mrs. ~ntcheon the

secret of his own mastery over horses--a;nd how she

too could learn it.



his. fewdsys she had the mere eating out of her

hand! In afew days this “ferocious brute" became

a hard and ' ' g worker. In a few days Mrs.

McOutcheon turned 8100 .into 3379. What was the

secret? How did she do it?





The Secret of Horse Training

Mrs. McCutcheon, like more than 107,000 other»

learned the secret of masteringhorses from

Jesse Beery’s Course in Horse reakingand'l‘rain-

ing. And thru learning Beery methods she was a

to sell the mare for $297 more than she paid for it.





It took Prof. Beery over 80 years to .learn these

. secrets. T y are now all disclosed in his home

mean. wicked-tempered or Wll your horse may be

he cannot resist the Beery methods. They are easy

——oertain—and humane. They guarantee lastln

results. Bad traits are overcome for good cm

for all. Bad habits are broken forever.

HE old year is rapidly drawing

‘ to a close as I write. The joyous

Yuletide is passing merrily with

the home folks. Good old Santa Claus

has made his usua1~ rounds and has

lightened his load materially at this

house, where the better half

Pope household was raised. We come

here often. It is a good place to be,

especially at Christmas time. We usu-

ally make the trip—about two hundred

miles—via. state trunk line. It is a

delightful drive in pleasant weather,

the way always strewn with new and

interesting things. Occasionally such

familiar things as detours and blow-

iouts appear to add local color to the

event. I do not need to enlarge upon

* these affairs as

they are both well

known to Michi-

gan Farmer read-

ers. It was en~

gine trouble this

time. Had to put

on a.new engine

at Milan. Borrow-

ed it off a freight

train. You see, we

came by rail this

time. Some of the

passengers thought the first in the en-

gine went out once or twice, and an-

other said they had to stop the train

while the crew got off to catch a rab-

bit, but even at that we made pretty

good time. Ido not remember any time

that we had to “back up to whistle.”

I fear these automobiles, with their

“push” and their “pep,” with their

dashing response to the least whim of

their passengers, have spoiled us.

They take us when and. where we

please, and as rapidly as We want to

go, with only an occasional remon-

strance. When we get) on the train

the job is up to the train crew, and

we are sometimes persuaded that rail-

way officials and employes take their

responsibility to the public none too

seriously.



It is a great country, this land In

northwestern Ohio, down along the old

Maumee. Replete with history and ro-

mance, thrilling with stories of adver-

sity and adventure. Teeming with

richness and prosperity. It is a level

country, I think sometimes painfully

level, devoid of any suggestion of a

hill or a hollow. Some of it is prairie.

Lots of it known to geographical stu-

dents as the “Old Black Swamp.” Most

of it heavily timberéd originally. It is

a rich country, rich in all the elements

that bring prosperity. The soils are

black and deep and very productive.

It was upon exactly one acre Of this

soil that the writer grew 7,560 pounds

of ear corn back in 1914 without me.:

nure, and incidentally copped a $100

prize. It is literally covered with a net-

work of drainage canals and ditches,

and underlaid with thousands of miles

of tile drains. Hard-surfaced roads

made of crushed limestone, bound with

tar, lead“ everywhere. Automobiles

rush hither and thither like so many

excited ants, and five hundred feet ov-

erhead lies an aerial! mail route. over

which the great mechanical birds pass

each day to and fro.





 





I hark back close on to a hundred

years when, as the story comes down

to us,~mylmaterna1 grandfather with

his good wife and family of six chll~

dren, settled here, and I marvel at the

contrast. Perry’s great naval victory

on Lake Erie was then too fresh in the.\

minds, of the inhabitants to be history.

The little town of Perrysburg on the

Memes river had» sprung up and been

named in his honor. From th‘ls place,





of the,





with their ox teams and what .I.pre-.





 





sumo would in later years have been

called prairie schooners, came the set-

tlers. Twelve miles out in a southeast-

erly direction,.through mud and water

hub deep, waded the caravan; Tney,

followed the route where now roll the

rubber tires over the historical Mc-

Cutchenville Pike, as far in a minute

as the early travelers made in an hour.

Here along the north side and back a.

little way from a small stream, they

came ‘to a sandy ridge, a slight rise

from the dead level and made camp.

Here the father of the family lived but

a short time and passed to the great

beyond. The brave little mother staid

on with the six children, the eldest of

which was my grandfather. He was

thirteen years old..





Hardship! You and I have no idea

of it. Corn bread and potatoes, With-

out salt, for weeks at a time; shoes

made from home-cured hides, hair and

all; the crudest of clothing, but a. sharp

axe always. There was lots of work to

be dbne. The land was heavily timber-

ed. Great oaks, hickories, and elms,

chopping, chopping, chopping, then log

rollings and burnings. Slow, hard,

tedious work, but out of the forests

gradually came the fields, and the gol~

den corn and the Wheat, and the cat-

tle. Grandfather must have been some

relation to me for he liked the cattle.

He rode the country on horseback for

miles around, even up into the lower

counties of Michigan, buying cattle to

feed, here a few, there a few, buying

on the way out, picking them up on

the way back, the drove increasing as

“it neared the feed lots. On one of

these trips he stopped at a home where

he found a very good pair of steers

that had been used as oxen. The man

of the house was away but the woman

told him they would sell the cattle,

that her husband said she should ask

$140 for them, but if she could not get

that to take $120. The cattle were well

worth $140 and she got the money.





Grandfather lived all his life and

died at the original home site, clearing

more land, raising more corn, and feed-

ing more live stock as the years were

on. The days of adversity were long

past, and in his later years, when the

writer was learning to walk and say

his letters, the increase from the busi-

ness at the old homestead was buying

a new eighty every year. He left he

hind him nine families of grandchil-

dren, some of them still at the old

homestead, some with parents [and

grandparents, lie cold and still in the

little cemetery down the lane. Others

are scattered to the four winds, from

Boston to California, and from Michi-

gan to Florida. Back on the old farm,

now under the third generation of live

stock farming, production remains at

high tide. Beef and pork are still the

chief sources of income. The family

and the stock are comfortably hous 3d,

a veritable country boulevard passes

the door, the electric car goes whir-

ring by, and here on‘ the corner of the

farm, where highway and railway in-

tersect, is now going up a gnodern cen-

tralized rural high school building.



I wonder if grandfather ever dream-

ed of “getting out of the woods,” back

in those trying days of his youth! I

wonder if the opportunities his grand-

children enjoy are not greater than he

ever dared dream; I wonder if he

thought civilization had reached its

zenith and‘was receding during those

long hard years following the Civil

War. Who could say if he were here-

now to witness the remarkable ad'-

vence of the century, ”that he could

hold anything but an abundantfaithln.

More and better potatoes





During the last five years, the average acre

yield of potatoes in the older potato states

of the East was 40 % larger than the average

yield in the comparatively new potato lands

of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.





Ordinarily, one would expect the new potato

lands of the Northern states to outyield the

land of Eastern states where potatoes have

been grown for years. Eastern potato grow-

ers use fertilizers extensively. They find

that applications of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds

per acre of high analysis fertilizer pay big

returns on the potato crop.





Thousands of tons of Swift’s Red Steer

Fertilizers are used each year on the potato

crop of the East. The fact that this tonnage

has steadily increased year after year is

their best endorsement.





Increase the yields and profits of your pc-

tato crop—by liberal use of Swift’s Red

Steer Fertilizers. ~

off in yield even this year, when the

apple crop of the state is barely a

third.





When asked how he got trees to

yield so well and so. steadily, T. E.

Thornburg, the proprietor of this or-

chard, said it was by “feeding" them.

For twenty-five years Mr. Thornburg

said he has been applying to his or-

chards fifteen tons of manure—to the

acre, and to each tree during the “bios-

som-pink” period five pounds of am-





monium sulphate, five pounds of twen-'

- ty per cent acid phosphate, and five.





pounds of muriate of potash.





Mr. Thornburg further stated thatS





the stuff which makes apples come





_ out of the air as well as up from the:

ground; that trees need a large leaf

surface properly to build up large‘

crops; and that it does not pay to*





prune young tiees severely.

milk, and now comes along Mr. Wen:





dall Richardson, of Ohio, with the milk-

fed squash to tempt the vegetarian, as

well as all lovers of that delicious win-

ter dainty—the squash.





Even the most exacting coniseur of

the squash has only to taste to be con-

vinced that no other vegetable is half

so delicious as this latest nursling, for

such it is.





Being literallyraised on the bottle,

it is tenderer, sweeter and of far rich-g

er flavor than the common squash, and'

raising it is not a process that requires

either elaborate machinery or tedious

preparation and detail.



There is no having to get its head

between the knees, and then, between

the dexterous feats of maintainingi

one’s balance while holding the head;

firmly, gently pushing it into a bucket,‘

and inserting one’s middle and index‘

fingers into its mouth in endeavoring

to teach the younger members of the

bovine family to procure its daily sus-s

tenance from a bucket instead of its

mother.



All one has to do is to partly sever

the vine to which the chosen squash is

confidently clinging, insert it daily into

a bottle: of fresh sweet milk and it will

obligingly do the rest. The squash will-

grow faster than ever before and take'

on a delicious, sweet, rich flavor.—J.;

BETTER SEEDS.





 





ROF. PAUL WORK, of Cornell,



speaking on better seeds and how

to obtain them, said there were many

advantages in growing seed. One

knows the percentage of his own seed,

and if he grows his own seed and does

it well he can turn a profit from the

sale of the surplus; but you have got

to be a plant expert and it requires a

vast amount of labor and care to grow

good seeds. It was his opinion that





, the bulk of the seeds would come from





seedsmen; that men in the seed busi-'

ness are spending thousands of dollars

to get good seed, while others were

giving the matter of quality little ‘at-'

tention, preferring to sell the cheaper

W hy King George Doesn’t Like ‘

to Live at Windsor Castle





0 .

NEWSPAPER item says King George doesn’t

like to live at Windsor Castle. ‘He prefers Buck-





' ingh‘am Palace, because the plumbing is more up to date.





Modern plumbing is quite different from the

plumbing of Queen Elizabeth's time, but in one

respect the plumber of today follows the custom of

three hundred years ago. In all cases where

permanence and real economy are desired, he still

uses lead for piping. /





Water will run through lead pipes for ages, without

causing decay or deterioration. Drainage /methods

improve, and fixtures become more convenient and

more beautiful; but underneath, where real utility is

required, lead pipe is still used, because men have

never foundany rust-resisting metal the equal of lead.





$1M





Lead is also the best material for the rain-water

drainage system of the house. The picture on this





page shows a pipe-head on one of the outer walls of





Windsor Castle. It was installed, along with gutters,

leaders, and spouts, in 1589. For more than three

centuries the rains that beat upon this ancient royal

residence have been carried off by these lead pipes——

and they are still intact.





Civilized man has found hundreds of other uses for

lead and lead products, and of them all the most

important is the use of white-lead as the principal

ingredient of good paint.



Tons of paint are used, every day, to adorn and

preserve the surfaces of buildings. Tons of pure

metallic lead are corroded, every day, to produce the

white-lead which gives to paint its protective power.

“Save the Surface and You Save All” is a" slogan

which is teaching the world that paint-protection

means the conservation of millions of dollars yearly,

in property values.



81" a!





Most painters prefer to use. the paint known as

“lead-and-oil,” which is pure white-lead thinned

to paint consistency with pure linseed oil. Paint

manufacturers use white-lead as the principal ingre-

dient of the paint they make—and the quality of the

paint depends on the amount of white-lead it contains.





National Lead Company makes white-lead of the

highest quality, and sells it, mixed with pure linseed

oil, under the name and trade mark of

“I should think so. If any one in

that position wanted to use the infor-

mation brought to your father, he could

make himself millions overnight, un-

doubtedly, and ruin other men.”



“And kill Father too,” the girl added

quietly. “Yes,” she said as Eaton look-

ed at her. “Father puts nothing above

his trust. If that trust were betrayed

“whether or not Father were in any

way to blame for it—I think it would

kill him.”



“So you are the one who is in that

position.” ‘



“Yes; that is, I have been.”



“You mean there is another now;

that is, of course, Mr. Avery?”



“Yes; here at this house Mr. Avery

and I, and Mr. Avery at the office.

There are some others at the office

whom Father trusts, but not complete-

ly; and it is not necessary to trust

them wholly, for all Father’s really im—

portant decisions are made at the

house, and the most important records

are kept here. Before Mr. Avery came,

1 was the only one who helped here at

the house.”



“When was that?”



“\Vhen Mr. Avery came? About five

years agofl Father had an immense

amount of work at that time. Business

conditions were very much unsettled.

There was trouble at that time be-

tween some of the big eastern and the

big western men, and at the Same time

the government was prosecuting the

trusts. Nobody knew what the out-1

come of it all would be; many of the

biggest men who consulted Father

don’t suppose you would remmeber the

time by what I say; but you would re-

member it, as nearly everybody else

does by this: it was the time of"the

“Yes; I remember that,’ ’said Eaton;

“and Mr. Avery came to you at that

time?”



“Yes; just at that time I was thrown

from my horse, and could not do as

much as I had been doing, so Mr. Av-

ery was sent to Father.”



“Then Mr. Avery was reading to him

“At that time, you mean? They were,

but Father dared trust no one else.“



“Mr. Avery handles those matters

now for'your father?”



“The continuation of what was going

Suddenly she cried out and clutched

at him. Asithey had stopped, site had

that this car seemed speeding faster-

vate matter not connected in any di-

rect way with the questions at issue.

Why do you ask all this, Mr. Eaton?”



“I was merely interested in you—in

what your work has been with your

father, and what it is,".he answered

quietly.



His step had slowed, and she, un-

consciously, had delayed with him.

Now she realized that his manner to-

ward her had changed from what it

had been a few minutes before; he

had been strongly moved and drawn

toward her then, ready to confide in

her; now he showed only his usual

quiet reserve—polite, casual, unread-

able. She halted and faced him, ab-

ruptly, chilled with disappointment.



“Mr. Eaton,” she demanded, “a few

minutes ago you were going to tell me

something about yourself; you seemed

almost ready to speak; now—3’ '



“Now I am not, you mean?"



“Yes; what has changed you? Is it

something I have said?”



He seemed to reflect. “Are you sure

that anything has changed me? I think

you were mistaken. You asked if I

could not tell you more about myself;

I said I wished I could, and that per-

haps I might. I meant some time in

the future; and I still‘ hope I may—-

some time." .



His look and tone convinced her;

for she could recall nothing he had

asked about herself or that she had





him spring to the side as quickly as

he could; but her cry and pull upon

him were almost too late; as he leap-

ed, the car struck. The blow was

glancing, not direct, and he was off his

feet and in motion when the wheel

struck; but the car hurled him aside

and rolled him over and over.



As she rushed to Eaton, the two

men in the rear seat of the car turned

their heads and looked back.



“Are you all right?” one called to

Eaton; but without checking its speed

or swerving, the car dashed on and

disappeared down the roadway.‘



She bent over Eaton and took hold

of him. He struggled to his feet and,

dazed, tattered so that she‘supported

him. As she realized that he was not

greatly hurt, she stared with horror at

the turn in the road where the mr had

disappeared.



“Why, he tried to run you down! He

meant to! He tried to hurt you!” she

cried.



“No,” Eaton denied. “011, no; I don’t

think so.” V >



“But they went on without stopping;

they didn’t wait an instant. He didn’t

care; he meant to do it-”



“No!” Eaton unsteadily denied again.

“It must have been—an accident. He

was—«frightened when he saw what he

had done.”



“It wasn’t at all like an accident!”





she persisted. “It couldn’t have been.

He turned to her quiCkly.

ductor wanted to seat you opposite a

young man who had just spilled cof-

man, nervous, but very strong; a man





almost like an ape?” . .



He shuddered and then controlled

himself. “Nothing!” he answered her

clasp of concern on his arm. “Quite

steady again; thanks. Just dizzy; I

guess I was jarred more than I knew.

Yes, I remember a fellow the conduc‘

tor tried to seat me opposite.”



“This was the same man!”



Eaton shook his head. “That could





hardly be; I think you must be mis-

taken.” "



“I am not mistaken; it was that

man!”





“Still, I think you-must be," he again

denied. ' .



She stared, studying him. “Perhaps

I was,” she agreed; but she knew she

had not been. “I am glad, whoever it

was, he didn’t injure you. You are all

right, aren’t you?”



“Quite,” he assured; “Please don’t

trouble about it, Miss Santoine.”



He dusted himself off with her help

and tried to limp as little as possible;

and when she insisted upon returning

to the house, he made no objection, but

he refused to wait while she went back

for a car to take him. They walked

back rather silently, she appreciating

how- passionately she had expressed

herself for him, and be quiet because

of this and other thoughts too.



They found Donald Avery in front

of the house looking for them as they

came up.” Eaton succeeded in walking

without limping; but he could not con‘

coal the marks on his clothes.



“Harriet, I’ve just come from your

father; he wantslyou to go to him at

once,” Avery directed. “Good morning,

Eaton. What’s happened?"



“Carelesness,” Eaton depremted.

“Got rather in the way of a motor and

was knocked over for it.”



Harriet did not correct this to Avery.

She went up to her father; she was,

still trembling, still sick with horror

at what she had seen—an attempt to

kil one walking beside her. She stop-

ped outside her fathers’ door to com-

pOSe herself; then she went in.



The blind man was propped up on

his bed with pillows into almost a sit-

ing position; the_nurse was wih him.

DO not know whether the state—

ments of Roger W. Babson are tak-

en by farmers generally as law and



gospel, as they are by business men.

Perhaps farmers do not watch for the





.business forecastings of Mr. Babson,





and his diagnoses of financial trou-

bles, as business men do. But Babson

has some pretty goOd things to say,

and of late he has been turning preach-

er. When a layman turns preacher the,

folk in the pews usually wake up and

listen, for awhile at least. Babson

has been preaching a good deal, and is

still at it. . He has 'put out several

books, such as “The Future of the

f‘Tlie Fundamentals of:

Prosperity,” and” “Enduring Invest-

ments.” The writer has read all of

these and thinks

that “Enduring In-

vestments” is the

best oi’ them. It

goes without say-

ing that Mr. Bab<

son is a Christian

man, a member of

the church and a

regular attendant.

One of the things

he is insisting on

is, that the minis-

try should be paid

Judging from what he says, one





 





more.

would like to be the pastor of his

church.





In “Enduring Investments,” he has

a chapter entitled, “Men vs. Goods." It

is a regular sermon. “As the nation

became more prosperous, we began to

lose sight of our original purpose;

namely, the development of men. We

became absorbed in the development

of things. We forgot that our ances-

tors came to America to give little

children a chance. Instead of giving

them a chance, we put them into mines

and mills”. “In the early days, the

white-steepled church on the public

green was the most important edifice

in the-town, and the preacher at the

church was the leading citizen of that

community. As wealth increased, a

great factory building became the most

important structure and the president

of the bank usurped the place of the

preacher. We made property of more

value than human life, and industry of

more importance than spiritual

growth.” If your preacher said that,

you would say he Was getting socialis-

tic, but theSe words are written by one

of the most conservative of American

business men, and one who receives

thousands of dollars annually for his

opinions as to the industrial and finan-

cial condition of the country. ‘





H E goes on to tell an experience he

had during the police strike in

Boston. He says he went Into Boston

to one of the banks with some securi—

ties. Marching up and down before

the bank were soldiers 'with rifles.

Even the negro porter inside had a

belt of cartridges around his neck, like

a string of beads. Afterward, he went

to a store and found that guarded in

the same way. Everywhere there were

the state troops guarding property. On

his way home, he had to stop his auto-

mobile in one place, because of the

crowd. Inquiring the cause, he learn-

ed that a poor family was being evict-

ed from its home. The rent had ‘been

raised, and the family of a poor wom-

an, her children and the grandmother

were phshed out into the street. On

getting home one of the letters await-

ple. ‘ENo soldiers were in Cambridge

to protect that poor family which was

being evicted from its home. No arm-

ed force was ready to guard that girl

and her mother from devastation by a

well-known man. Little heed is given

to the security of souls.





HE Bible teaches us to put first



things first, but we do not do.it. We

put first things second, and second or

third things first. The author tells of

finding an ancient newspaper. It was

made up, not of divorce scandals, prize

fights, and robberies. Three items re-

ceived the' most attention, the teach-

ings of the churches, and the sermons,

the progress of the government, and

the important events in Europe.

fore seed was planted, an entire day

was devoted to fasting and prayer, that

thecrop might be bountiful. (This was

a legal holiday in Massachusetts until

a few years ago). When the crop was

harvested, there wasa day of thanks-

giving and praise, to the‘GOd of har-

vests. When the question is asked,

‘_‘What’s the matter with business?”

the answer is not always easily come

at. “The truth is, that we are now

trying to have legislation, banking, la-

bor unions and other material forces

take the place of the spiritual forces

which have really developed America."

“Enduring prosperity and enduring in-

vestments come from three factors:

(1) natural resources; (2) labor, and

(3) that intangible spiritual quality

~which led the Pilgrims to these shores

three hundred years ago, which stretch-

ed the railroads across the prairies a

hundred years ago, and which built

factories, steamships and other things

during the past decade. Moreover,

these spiritual qualities can be devel-

oped only through the natural means

which God devised.”



A new kind of dishonesty has arisen

among us. The grocer does not adul-

terate the sugar any more, but large

numbers of people adulterate their

work. The farmer no longer puts good

apples at the top of the barrel, but de-

ception permeates large sections of

American society. Bluffing takes the

place of honest work. Youth is not

taught the value of hard work, as it

0nCe was, and parents indulge the silly

talk such as, “I don’t want my "boy to

have to dig and labor as I did. I want

him to go to college so he won’t have

to work so hard.” A if hard work

ever hurt any one.





HE author of “Enduring Invest-

ments believes that the first factor

in education is the religious one.

ligion should first be taught. But it

is against the law now to even read

the Bible in some states, and in his

own state the author says that a sup-

erintendent or school board may be

fined even for inquiring as to the re—

ligious beliefs of a prospective teacher.

The same applies to political beliefs:

In other words, an anarchist and an

atheist might be engaged for your

school, and you would not have the

right to inquire beforehand as to his

ideas on those questions. .

The old type of business man went

through three stages: First, to get

on. Second, to 'get honor. Third, to

get honest. This type is fast disap-





pearing. To wait until one retires be!





fore he begins to do good with his

money is foolishness. A man may not

live to retire. No time isvso propitous

for doing good as' the present. By so

doing one lays up treasures where

moth ' and rust do not corrupt, nor

thieves break through and steal.

What jg in the bag? ‘





'A fertilizer may contain just the right ele-

ments of plant food, in just the right pro-

portions, for your soil and the crop you want

to grow.





But—is each element in such a form of avail-

ability that the plant is able to use it at the right

time and over the proper period of growth?

‘Are the three different elements thoroughly

mixed? Chemically blended? Or, will one

plant starve for lack of one essential element,

and another he “gorged” with the second?





Since you can’t see quality in fertilizers and

must buy them on faith, your best guide is

the reputation, experience and facilities of the

people who make them.





A A C Quality Fertilizers have behind them

the largest manufacturing organization, and .

are supported by the combined experience of

such leaders as Bradley, Bowker, Stockbridge,

Liebig, Wheeler, Coe, Lister, Crocker, Detrick,

Zell, Hess, and others—probably the most noted

group of fertilizer men the industry has ever

known.





   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   





No man need ever guess what’s in the

bag if the brand is “A A C.” It con-





tains maximum fertilizer efficiency.





 





An important part of this organization is its Agricultural Service

Bureau, conducted by Dr. H. J. Wheeler, formerly Director R. I.

Agricultural Experiment Station. This Bureau carries on prac-

tical experimental work in all sections of the country, to determine

just what fertilizers are best adapted to each crop and locality.

gestions on your particular crop problems. No charge or obligation.

A Club Boy’s





Experience





HERE is one boy out of the five



hundred prize-winning club mem-

bers who visited Chicago during the

International, who will surely remem-

ber his trip to the Windy City. His

name is Quentin Friedhoff, of Warren,

Michigan, Macomb county. Quentin,

who is named after the dauntless

Quentin Roosevelt, was taken with





chickenpox'the second day of his visit International Live Stock Exposition,

to the great exposition, and was quar-





antined for fifteen days. This young

man is fifteen years old and he has





had what amounts to a, graduate and.





post-graduate, course in scientific corn

growing. In other words, he has been

in club work four years and has made

an intensive, first- hand study of this

crop and demonstrated to himself what

can be accomplished by proper meth-

ods. He won third prize in the corn

exhibit contest.





The first year he was in the work

the crop looked so poorly that Quentin

decided that he wouldn’t even take a.

chance on counting the yield, so the

corn was cut and put in the silo.



Profiting by his first year’s experi-

ence, he took better care of the crop

the second year and made a yield of

fifty-three bushels on one-half acre,

winning the county championship.





The thi1d year his 010p was late in

maturing and being afraid of host he

cut the corn :1 little too soon, so that

it shrunk in the shock. In spite of this,

however, it yielded fifty- -six bushels

on the half acre, 01' at the rate of 112

bushels per acre.





The fourth year, 1921 was Quentin’s

banner year. In the first place, he paid

$2. 50 for one peck of corn on the cob,

which he used for seed. The strain is

known as Pickett’s corn, 3 species of

yellow Dent. The soil was a mixture

and varied in different parts of the

plot, which was on a knoll, part of it

was a sandy loam and part a loamy

clay. Four loads of barnyard manure

were spread on the half acre and in

addition 173 pounds of complete fer-

tilizer was used The plot was planted

by hand on May 19, five kernels to the

hill. It was cultivated three times and

hoed once. The first week of Septem-

ber Quentin cut his corn, and as it was

pretty well matured and dried out, he

was able to husk it the second week.

It yielded seventy-three bushels of our:

com on the half acre, or at the rate

of 146 bushels per acre, which not only

won Quentin the county championship

again, but gave him a. free trip to the





It also places him in the running for

the state championship, which is yet

to be decided.



As the average yield of corn in Mich-

igan is under forty bushels per'acre,

Quentin’s achievement stands! out as

a shining example of what may be ac-

complished by scientific and intensive

methods of culture.





STATE LEADERS’ NOTES.





The determining of state canning

champions and the prize trips and ex-

hibit contests featured the month.





The state canning champions are:





First year, Theo Swegles, Plymouth,

Wayne county, 468% quarts. Second

year, Mary Piechiowiak, Bay City, Bay

county, 1,103 quarts. Third year, Elvis

Alford, Detroit, Wayne‘county, 185

quarts. Fou1th year, Agnes Martin,

Charlotte, Eaton county, 185 quarts.





Six canning club members were sent

to the International Stock Show by the

Wilson Packing Company, and Hazel

Atlas Glass Jar Company. In addition

to the four champions named, Beatrice

Effrick, of Bay City, and Zeta Weigand,

of Macomb county, were sent.





Michigan club members won five out .





of seventy prizes offered by the Hazel

Atlas Glass Jar Company.



Some of the clubs in Newaygo coun-

ty are carrying on the work for the

fourth year, and are doing some splen-

did work. Although there is no one

in the county in charge of the work,

good local leadership makes it pos-

sible.



The New Hampshire Extension Ser-

vice prints a one-act play called"‘All

Alone in the, Country,” which is adap-

table to rural meetings. Address Di-

rector J. C. Kendall, Durham, New

Hampshire.





To the Interstate Corn Club Contest

at Baton _»Rouge, Louisiana, Michigan

corn club members sent ten exhibits

or one hundred ears. Burlin Bradley, of

Charlotte, Eaton county, won a first

and a third place on his two exhibits.

His awards were $15 and $5. Congrat-

ulations!





At the International Hay and Grain

Show, Chicago, Michigan was in com-

petition with several states which had

made twenty-eight entries of club corn.

Michigan won two places out of the five

aivarded. Joseph Warsop, of Athens,

Calhoun county, won second place, and

Quentin Friedhoff, of Warren, Macomb

county, won third place. fl‘helr awards

were medals. Club members are dem-

onstrating their ability to uphold ,the

honors which Michigan exhibitors

have won at the past Hay and Grain

Shows. , .

"and seeded the lawn, planted shrub-

bery, and made files for the office. The

‘girls of the Goodrich school are doing

workvthat is just as utilitarian in its

nature, such as serving hot lunches,

making garments, and learning some

of the lessons involved in the econom-

ics of a household. They purchase all

materials and make an-itemized re-

port of the cost of each article made

and of food served. The other rural

agricultural districts are doing work

of like nature. The main idea is to

relate the course to the community

life and activities.

, A tract of land is provided for dem-

. ‘ onstration work in agriculture, which

with the farms of the community,

makes it possible to try out and verify

investigations made in the laboratory

and textbook work.‘ The boys are

taught something of the chemistry of

the soil, food elements required for





l successful plant growth, and how to_





determine whether all of the elements

are available in the soil. They are

taught something of the physiology of

plants; how they obtain food elements

from the soil; the relation of availa-

bility of such food elements to mois-

ture supply; the underlying principles

of food manufacture in the leaves, and

its dependence upon chlorophyl, sun‘

shine and moisture supply. They are

trained to be intelligent in regard to

the use of plant and food elements in

the form of commercial fertilizers.

Through actual experiment they dis-

. sever the limiting factor in the soil and

the best form in which to supply it.

They strive to learn how to produce as

economically as possible, how to mar-

ket farm produce to the best advan-

tage, to know something of market de-

mands, and to be governed accordingly

in their farm operations. Attention is

given to the economics of farm man-

agement and other problems that con:

front the average farmer.





The usual high school subjects are



offered in addition to the vocational



, work and just as complete and ther-

ough training is given in the essentials

as is possible in any high school. Ag-

, riculture and manualltraining for the

1" boys and home economics for the girls

‘2 are given as part of the general science

work and in lieu of courses in Latin,

German or French. Students who have

completed a high school course of this

kind have just as much of an opportu-

nity to develop as is possible in any

high séhool and are well equipped to

pursue a college course if they desire

to do so. They are also trained to

think in terms of the realities of life.

Modern Rural Schools

the district for each dollar invested in

educational advantages.



The tax rate in a consolidated dis-

trict as well as in a primary district

varies with the assessed valuation.

Other things being equal, the larger

the amount ,of taxable wealth the

smaller the tax rate will be. In many





‘of the more sparsely settled communi-





ties or where the assessed valuation

is extremely low, the tax rate is very

high in the ordinary primary district

and would be correspondingly high un-

der consolidation. Many unfair com-

parisons have been made of the tax

rate of several years ago in primary

districts with present costs under con—

solidation of maintaining twelve grades

in the consolidated school; and of the

number of children who receive school

advantages in primary districts as

compared with the number to receive

school advantages in the rural agricul-

tural district.



There has been a marked advance

in the tax rate and the expense of

maintaining a one-room school during

the past few yeags. The per capita

cost‘in some instances is as high for

even an eighth-grade school as it is in

the larger rural agricultural schools

with twelve grades. In any case, after

the expense of providing the building

and equipment for the rural agricul-

tural school is taken care of, the cost

of maintenance in excess of state aid

provided will not be much if any in

excess of that in the ordinary graded

district maintaining twelve grades.





The rural agricultural schools be-

come the community center. Meetings

dealing with education, economics and

rural life problems may be held; en-

tertainments and social gatherings

may be presided so that all may have

an opportunity to enjoy the advantag-

es along these lines that are superior

to these possible in the small district

system. In several of these schools

moving picture machines have been

purchased. Suitable films have been

secured each week for educational

work in the school and clean, wh‘ole-

some entertainment has been provided

for the people. All of this has a weld-

ing effect upon the entire district and

helps to bring about a closer coopera-

tive relationship between the home

and the school. The parents as well

as the children are better fitted to

cope with real life problems and to

build the type of community that may

be desired. .





Rural education is not local in its

scope. It goes to the very basis of our

democracy. It concerns every individ-

ual in this country. Theremust be no

difference in the opportunity of one.

class of our boys and girls from that

of another class; Both must have an

opportunity toface the work unhamp-

ered by educational limitations inher-

ited from another day under other con-

ditions. The consolidated school is the

best solution of the problem of rural

education yet advanced.





What the state will do forthe rural

agricultural consolidated school: 1, it

will pay $400 per year for each vehicle

used for transportation; 2, it will pay

000’ per, year toward maintenance. '

On Judging Values





By Dehorah





the study period. When he learns that

he can only do one thing at a time,

and comes to the conclusion that the

essential thing is to study in the study

period and to talk at recess time his

marks will go up. So far he hasn’t

learned how to judge values.” , -



All very pedagogical and essentially

true, but so far it hasn’t helpedbring

up the marks. Somehow I wish he

might go back to the good old days

when the tingle of a hickory stick help-

ed the youngsters to judge values.

These new ideas of managing children

read well, but they take so much long-

er to bring results, and are so much

less sure, than the old ones. ‘



But the idea of judging values and

picking out essentials was all right

for me; I am old enough to see how to

work it. So many things to fill our

days; so many things to give tip or to

hold. How are we to decide to which

to cling? A good way is to look ahead

a year, five years, ten years. Ask your-

self ‘what will be the result of follow-

ing this course? Ten. years hence will

I wish I had taken’a different road?



There’s the matter of furniture or

boys. So far I know of but one way

to keep boys and unscratched furniture

in the same family,- Drive the boys

outdoors as soon as meals are over,

and do not let them in until bedtime.

Makethem sit down shoeless every

minute they are in the house. This is

not conducive to happy boyhood, or at

all likely to produce the best type of

man, but at least the furniture is safe.



I have oftensighed for good looking

furniture, but on the whole I think I

‘ prefer good looking boys. In this case

the essential seems to be very plain.





IVE me the choosing of the fam-

Gily rugs and I care not who



chooses the furniture, might be

a good motto for the interior decor-

ator, since so much of the good effect

of a room depends upon the floors.

Add to the selection of rugs, the finish

of floors, and you have a good founda—

tion upon which'to build up a satisfac-

tory finish.



To begin with, floors should never

have a shiny finish. For one thing,

such floors show the slightest mark,

and if they are so highly polished that





trous. .A waxed finish, applied so as

to bring out the natural grain of the

wood is best, not only for the greater

ease in takingvcare of it, but for the

general effect of the room. Then in

choosing the rug, select one Of a. color

which will contrast with the color of

the floor. Avoid garish colors which

distract, but look for a. touch of some

hue which will give tone.



If your room is small, do not pick

out a large rug which will cover the

der around the walls-

It is almost as marked in other things.

HOUSEHOLD DEMONSTRATION IN ’





UPPER PENINSULA..





 





ELATIVE to the subject of house-



hold industries for Michigan farm-

ers, Miss Aurelia ‘B. Potts, assistant

state leader of home demonstration

agents for the upper peninsula, states

that her department is putting on a.

home-made rug project which it is hop-





ed to standardize in certain communi-_





ties so that a market will be found for

them. Sténdardization of design and

material is said to be necessary in or-

der to market such goods. Indeed, as‘

surances from several merchants have

been forthcoming that they can handle

these articles if the necessary condi-

tions are observed. It is hoped that

samples of such work can be furnished

by January, so that it acceptable, 3.

market for the output will be estab-

lished at an early date. Miss Potts re-

ports that women in her territory have





made over two thousand dress-forms,“





and that this work is being ch’ntinued

in every community where it has start-

ed. The subject of household indus-

tries for farmers was recently consid-

ered by a committee consisting of Mrs.

J. E. Lautner, Miss Aurelia B. Potts,

Mr. A. G. Kettunen and Mr. G. E. Bish-

op, meeting in the office of theUpper

Peninsula Development Bureau, Mar—

quette, and it was determined that

each member give individual attention

to the idea and be on the watch for

instances of successful home handi-

crafts throughout the peninsula—C.





Rugs and Their Care





If the room is long and narrow, place

small rugs crosswise of the floor. Rugs

with large patterns or deep borders

belong only in a large room.



Having selected the rugs the next

important thing is to keep them in

good condition. tAn important point in

their care is to clean them daily with

a good carpet sweeper, and at least

once a week with the vacuum cleaner,

or sweep with a broom. Inexperienced

housekeepers are frequently distressed

by the amount of fluff and loose wool

which sweeps off new rugs, especially

Axminister. This need not cause alarm.

however, was it is only the loose lint

which remains when. the rugs are

“sheered” when they are finished.





If knots or tufts stick up on the rug,





. cut them off with sharp shears. Tole





them out means to start a break in the

rug, ‘Dragglng heavy furniture across

your rug is apt to pull out tufts,



Rugs should be washed at least once

a year.

Fabric Tests _;

By Clementine Paddlgford ‘





UYING cotton 1- goods and paying

linen prices, that is what fifty per.

cent of the women shoppers are

doing every day, simply because they

have not learned a few of the simple





Linen is much more expensive than





linen should be demanded. Since the

two fibers are rather hard to distin-

guish, especially when heavily starch-





Linen col-

handkerchiefs marked linen, often do

be the case with the rather inexpen-





linen sold in some shops is often mer-

cerized cotton; cotton and linen, or

even just ordinary cotton.



If the shopper would guard herself

against cheap imitations she must re- §

member that the linen fiber is long.

smooth and quite lustrous when spun

into a thread. That it is very strong

and does not have so many fuzzy ends

as are found in cotton. To distinguish

linen from cotton the buyer must ex-

amine the threads carefully. Cotton is

made up of short fibers Which project

from the surface of the thread and be-

come fuzzy when the thread is rubbed

between rthe fingers.



When broken, cotton has a tufted

end, while the linen fibers break more

unevenly and leave a more pointed

end. The linen thread should be strong-

er than the cotton, it has more luster

and is usually more uneven. Some

kinds of linen have flat threads, but

cotton is frequently finished in imita-

tion of flat thread linen.



The old test of moistening the finger

and putting it under the cloth is not

always a sure one, as the moisture will

not come through a heavy linen, or one

with much starch in it, and it will

come through a sheer lightly twisted

cotton. A good test but an impractical

one to use while shopping is to put a

drop of olive oil on the cloth and press

between blotting papers. The linen

will become more transparent than the

cotton. Another thing that is well to

remember when buying table linen is

that a good linen has a peculiar leath-r

ery feel which cotton does not have. . .



In buying linen it is also well to'

know the different weaves most appro-

priate for various uses. The typical

weaves used for linens are damask,

satin, or sateen weave, used for table

linens and towels. This is especially

good for the former, because of the

very smooth lustrous surface it af-

fords. However, it is not so good for

towels as it does not readily absorb

moisture, although it is very attrac-

tive.



Huck, an uneven weave, giving a

good surface for the absorption of wa-

ter makes splendid towels, and decor-

ated with designs in damask weave,

may be very handsome. Many linens

in plain weaves are available for cloth-

ing, embroidery and the like. Coarse

Russian crashes are popular for decor-

ative purposes.

Drapery houses are suggesting silk

poplin for drapes, not only in living-_

it should be lined with cream satin.

Beware of Colds.



Perhaps the flock has formed the

habit of roosting on fences or diseard-

ed farm implements,not high enough

from the ground to be free from damp-

ness or the odor from the droppings

that have collected there. This will

often bring on colds which may result

in roup and other troubles. Give the

turkey a good substantial and fairly

high roost, placed, if possible, where it

is protected from the north and west

winds. Though he may do very well

him have shelter from continued bad

storms. Not confined In a closed house

as you would shelter other fowls, but

under a shed or any rude shelter that

will protect him from the storms and

wind. If he has had such a shelter

when young he will willingly go to it

on stormy days when he is grown. Let

the floor of this shed be free from

dampness, keep a. clean litter of straw

on it and on cold days, when the birds

are inactive, throw some grain in the

litter and let them work for it. .It is

a good plan to saveesome bundles of

oats or wheat to scatter on the floor

and let them thresh out the grain.





weather, the turkey dislikes the wind.

[He will stand severe cold and not com-

plain, but the wind seems to discour-

age him and he looks for some place

to get out bf it. Against the fence

(running north and south) of my feed-

ing yard, I place cornstalks, standing

the bundles on end, 'fnaking a solid

wall of them. When the wind is east

or west you will find the flock on the

opposite side of the wall, enjoying the

shelter and at the same time stripping

the leaves from the stalks. This serves

as roughage and is good for them and

it is better that they should be exer-

cising in some way than to be stand-V

ing on one foot in the snow, With seem-

ingly no interest in life.





Miss Ramsdell has made an exten-

sive study of turkeys and turkey rais-

ing and is most successful, bringing

to maturity each year over ninety per

cent of birds hatched. This article

on raising more a specialty than a.

tions, production has been materially

increased without greatly increasing

RABBIT HUTCHES.





I am going into the rabbit business

and expect to make a run of about

six by six feet by twenty inches high,

portable for each of my does, and a

yard to turn the young rabbits into as

soon as they are weaned. Would this

be an advisable way of proceeding to

raise rabbits?—S. R.





In raising rabbits most breeders de-

pend on the hutches which are six

feet long, two feet deep and two feet

high. One-third is partitionedxoff for

a nest, witha round hole foran en-

trance and a tightly~fltting hinged door

in front which permits the breeder to

clean the nest and examine the young.

The remainder of the front is covered

with a wire door.



The small portable yards might

prove all right for exercise yards but

some danger. exists in using them.

this risk with young stock by keeping

them vln an upstairs room in a shed or

barn. Sometimes the young are raised

to market age in the same type of

hutches used for breeding stock. I

once had a rabbitry with exercise

yards. I dug a trench .one foot deep





around the outside and filled it with.





stenes. This kept the rabbits from

digging out and dogs from digging in.





A good open, air rabbitry can be‘ *

EcnIyERs of poultry in thexcon- ,





, suming centers are having their

usual trouble with dressed poultry.

This is caused mainly by a discolora-





‘tion of the poultry due to improper

’ preparation. When shipments in this





30ndition are received the commission

mouse has great difficulty in disposing

of the product and then only at a re-

duced price. This usually brings a com-

plaint from the shipper because of the

low price, which is often unjustified.





It is by far preferable/to ship poul-

try alive for then, if it should arrive at

a time of the week which would neces-

sitate its being kept-over a few days,

it could be done without detriment. It

can also be prepared just before sale

by the butcher so that it will have a

fresh and clean appearance.



But at it is desired that dressed poul-

try be shipped, the following sugges-

tions can be followed to advantage:

After killing and bleeding, dip the fowl

in boiling water to loosen the feathers.

Then following the lay of the feathers

wipe them off; do not pull them ed for

that breaks the skin, and any break in

the skin will produce a green spot in

a few days.



After the feathers are off dip the

fowl in boiling water several times

again, holding it in a second or two.

This is to sear over the outer skin

slightly and to make it cling to the

inner skin. Immediately after put the

body in running cold water, or iCe wa-

ter, and leave it there for at least four

hours. This is to take out all of the

animal heat and besides will give the

fowl a nice plump appearance. It is

very essential to have the fowl prop-

erly chilled before shipping.



Another essential to consider, espe-

cially in the shipment of dressed poul-

try, is the time of shipment. Poultry

can be sold to advantage if it arrives

at the market not later than-Thursday

morning. If it arrives Friday night or

Saturday morning, it comes after all

the butchers have been supplied for

the Sunday trade. ~ As it is difficult to

keep dressed poultry over several days

the commission man then has to force

a sale at a sacrifice price, which caus-

es extra work ‘for him and invariably

results in a kick from the shipper.



Chickens are moré‘susceptible to dis-

coloration in keeping after being dress-

ed than turkeys, geese or ducks. There-

fore, they should be shipped alive, or

greater care should be used in dressing

them.





HATCHING GOSLINGS.





'—_—_ Q



We are raising geese but do not have

very good luck. The trouble is to give

the eggs the proper care, so as to pro-

duce good hatches. We were wonder-

ing if they could be hatched in an in-

cubator successfully—C. K.,



Goslings can be hatched in an incu-

bator, but it is not usually recommend-

ed, as poultrymen have found that it

is more difficult to get strong birds

than when they are hatched by hens.

This is because the eggs take so long





to hatch and require so much \moisture.“





Cutting a moist green sod and placing

it in the bottom of the nest seems to

help eggs to hatch better. Goose eggs

.take twenty-eight to thirty days to

hatch. After the first week the hens

should be removed long enough to give

the eggs an opportunity to cool each

day. It also pays to sprinkle the eggs

often as they need plenty of moisture.





When you see a fine poultry plant

.do not judge at once that it is paying

‘a large profit. When you see rather

poor looking buildings do not consider

to avoid the seasonal glutting of the

market and the corresponding depres~

sion in prices. Stockers and feeders

are to be purchased by Cooperative

interests of the farmers at heart.

_OWS owned by _the members or

of milk and 280 pounds of butter-fat

this association gave 117 gallons more

milk per year than the average in the

state. ‘





WHEN To CUT‘ ALFALFA.





THE time. to harvest alfalfa for hay



is always of interest to the prac-

tical farmer. In this connection some

interesting results have just been pub-

lished. It has been found that two

cuttings taken when the alfalfa was in

full bloom yielded as large a quantity

as three cuttings taken when the

plants were at the tenth bloom stage.

However, the quality of the hay was

superior when the three cuttings were

made.

MEETING.





 





 





[THE members of the board er the

Michigan Live Stock Exchange





held their regular meeting in Lansing,-





on Thursday, January 5. All members

of the board were present, except two.



Among the questions discussed. and

acted on, was the nomination of E. A.

Beamer, of Blissfield, to represent the

exchange on the board of the Michigan

Farm Bureau.



It was decided that the members of

the board of the exchange would meet

with similar boards from Ohio and In-

diana the last part (if this month, for

the purpose of perfecting plans to es-

tablish commission houses at the term-

inals to which the associations of these

states'ship stock.



It was unanimously voted to send a

'plea for help to prevent, and also a

protest to our members of congress

against taking away from' the Depart-

ment of Agriculture, the Bdreau of

Markets and the Forest Service; as

both of these proposed changes is a

direct blow to the farmer.



Mr. Munson, vice-president of the

exchange, brought the per car charge

for his associations, for the month of

October, November and

December, $160.65, the largest amount

received from one association at one

.time during the year. Most of the as-

sociations remit each month.



The annual meeting of the exchange

is to be held in Lansing the sixteenth

of February, at the city hall.



'This board meeting finds the ex-

change in very good condition consid-

ering the unsettled condition of the

markets, and the prevailing low price

of stock, during the summer and fall.





WHY NOT?





MR. T. F. 'MARSTON, secretary of



the Northeastern Michigan Devel-

opment Bureau, who actively operates

a large dairy farm near Bay City, sees

no reason why a horse should not haVe

a drink when wanted as well as a cow,

so he ,has installed water bowls for his

horses, the same as for the cows ex-

cept that whereas the latter have a





/ bowl for two cows, each horse has a





bowl of its own. Mr. Marston states

the time saved by the men in not hav-

ing to wait While watering horses will

pay for these buckets several times

over in a year. There may be some

objection to the practice but at any

rate the horses seem to enjoy it. The

cows have been so fitted out for the

past thirty years.





 





DUROC RECORD RATES CHANGED.





HE American Association of Duroc





Breeders has made a new rule for‘





recording, effective January 1, 1922.

only.

Members can new record animals un-

der one year old for seventy-five cents.

The price for animals under one

year and two years is one dollar. The

rate of $1.50 to non-members is still in

force. The directors hope to get the

breeders in the habit of recording their

animals at an earlier age and encour-

age them to record all animals they

sell as breeders. The courts have rul-

ed that the medigree is a part of the

transaction in the sale of an animal

for breeding purpdses and there is no

good reason why a registry certificate

should not go to the purchaser of ev-

ery animal bought for that purpose.

There will be less cause for complaint

and less trouble for the buyer, and it

will be the means of getting the begin-

ner to keep up his records.

WHEAT





Financial conditions again came to

the fore in the grain market last week.

"The failure of a large grain firm and

other disturbances led to a break in

values.

but confidence has not fully returned

and influences of this character may

continue for some time. Drouth still.

prevails over much of the southwest

which has about half the total acreage

and the average condition there is 61

per cent as shown by the official re-

port. The crop can recover materially

but low condition at the start results

on the average in a low yield per acre

and winter-kill above normal. Argen-

tine wheat for January and February

shipment is being offered to Europe

at prices eight to ten cents per bushel

cheaper than American hard winter

via the Gulf. EurOpe is only buying

on a hand to mouth basis at present

so this may force our market lower.





CORN





Financial conditions caused a break

in the corn market but otherwise pric-

es show stability at the prevailing lev-

el. The Russian relief purchases

amount to nearly 5,000,000 bushels and

it is reported that about 750,000 tons

of grain are to be taken for this pur—

pose, most of which will be corn. Ex-

port sales to other European countries

are rather liberal. Domestic demand

also remains satisfactory. Lower

freight rates thus far have failed to

increase the movement from the coun-

try materially although receipts are

slightly larger than before. A good deal

of corn was contracted for to be ship-

ped after freight rates were reduced,



.so that if the movement should enlarge

much of it will be provided for in ad-





vance.

OATS





The first of «the year has brought an

increase in the eastern and southern





demand for cats so that the largest





sales in a long while have been con-

summated. Exporters have made in-

quiries also. The visible supply is de-

creasing rather slowly and values are

unlikely to enhance a great deal as

long as the demand can be easily sat-

, isfied from arrivals at primaries and

' small withdrawals from the supply al-

~ ready at terminals.





‘ GS.





Part of the loss was recovered '





the principal markets are decreasing.

Prices usually advance during the ear-

ly spring months when seeding starts,

but the price of red clover is slightly

out of line with farm grains and other

seeds, particularly alsike and alfalfa

so that further gains may be small.

To what extent the tendency of farm-

ers to plant legumes in place of corn

and oats next spring will increase the

demand for cloverseed is still proble-

matical. Although the foreign crop

was small, moderate quantities are be-

ing imported into this country.





FEEDS





Increased offerings of wheat feeds

especially from the southwest have

weakened the market slightly, while

hominy, gluten feed, Cottonseed meal

and linseed meal are also quoted lower

than a week ago. Demand for tankage

remains exceptional and demand for

other feeds fairly active in the light of

prevailing economic conditions.





HAY





Inactivity describes the hay markets,





as receipts are light and demand ,is

limited to immediate needs. Country

loadings in some surplus sections are

said to be increasing. The course of

prices depends on whether lower

freight rates increase demand as much

as it may increase the supply at dis-

tributing markets.





POULTRY AND' EGGS





Although receipts of eggs continue

heavy for this season of the year, cold

weather stimulated demand and made

the market more firm. Prices are 10

to 15 cents lower than at the high

point of the season and have fallen

enough to stimulate consumption. Ac-

cording to the preliminary government

reports cold storage holdings in the

United States on January 1 were 904,-

000 cases compared with 408,000 cases

on the same date last year and a five-

year January 1 average of 982,000 cas-

Poultry prices also are showing





more strength due to a. sharp reduction

in receipts at therleadlng markets.

Chicago—Eggs, fresh firsts 39340 a

dozen; ordinaries 34@350. Poultry,

hens 28c; springs 26c; ducks 28c;

geese 220; turkeyS'350.

Detroit—Eggs, 'fresh sandled and

pound; large fat hens 28@30c; medi-

um hens 26@27c; old reosters 15c;





geese 20c; ducks 30@320; turkeys 35c,





BUTTER





Butter markets continue weak as re-

ceipts and stocks are large while de-

mand failed to expand. Top scores

were more plentiful and lost ground as

rapidly as the undergrades. Produc-

tion is undoubtedly heavy. The report

of the American Creamery Butter Man-

ufacturers’ Association fer the week

ending December 31 shows an increase

of 48. 4 per cent over the same week

of 1920. Consumption is above the lev-

el of'last year but has not increased

as much as market supply. Foreign

butter arrivals were. less burdensome.

At the close of the week an upturn





appeared probable as holders were less





disposed to sell at the lower level of

values which also were moreattrac-

tive to buyers. Prices ‘for 92-score

fresh butter were:



Chicago 350; New York 36%c. At

Detroit fresh creamery in tubs was

quoted at 32@33c. ,





WOOL





Boston at which about 8,000,000 pounds

mostly of low grade wools were sold,

prices ranged from 20 to 25 per cent

higher than at the December auction.

Dealers were the chief buyers although

moderate quantities went to manufac-

turers. The woolen goods trade still

appears uncertain with minor interests

waiting for the announcement of the

scale of prices upon its new offerings

by the American Woolen Company, the

dominant factor in the trade. It is es-

timated that Boston holds only about

40,000,000 pounds of wool compared

are taking butter liberally. Practically

everything else is firm. Business at

the beginning of the week was not ac-

tive in any line'.‘ Poultry was scarcely

moving. The supply was short, but so

was the demand. Farmers’ deliveries

were fair, but receipts by rail were not

large. Potatoes, bnions, cabbages and

other important lines in the vegetable

list .were firm and the same tone ex-

tended to fruits.‘



Apples. —GOod winter fruit $3. 50@4.



Celery -—Michigan 40@50c per dozen

and $1. 25@1. 50 per box.

Enlarged Glands—Haven cow that

came fresh last October. She has nu-

merous small hard bunches on lower

portion of udder and on teats. Several

years ago her mother suffered from a

similar ailment. I thought she might

have been stung by bees.

'Fennville, Mich—Paint bunches with

tincture of iodine every day or two

and they will soon disappear.





Shy Braden—We have a cow seven

or eight years old that came fresh last

July, since then she has been in heat

several times, bred each time, but fails

to get with calf. O. H. K., Wilson,

Mioh.—-—Dissolve one-quarter pound of

bicarbonate of soda in one-half gallon

of clean tepid water and flush vagina

two or three hours before she is serv-

ed and if you have leisure time, treat

her daily for a week before she comes

in heat.





Indigestion+Worms.—Have a three-

monthsold pig that is not thriving.

She coughs, is some lame, has had di-

arrhea, but have it checked; have rais-

ed her by hand. I also have another

three-weeks-old pig which'is not thriv-

ing; the mate weighs forty pounds and

is growing fine. W. N. R., Fremont,

Ind—Mix equal parts of fluid extract

of spigelia and fluid extract of senna

together and give some to pig twice a

day until you believe the worms are

destroyed.‘ One-half of a teasponful

is perhaps dose enough. Also give

fluid extract of gentian three times a.

day as a tonic. One-half a teaspoont‘ul

is dese enough.





Unthrifty Mares—Worms—I have a.

pair of mares that raised colts last

summer. Both stock in hind legs and

refuse to lay on flesh. I also have an-

other mare which is troubled with

worms; her coat is rough and she is

thin. G. M., Farvell, Mich—Perhaps

‘ you are not feeding them a fat-making

ration, or you may not be feeding them

enough grain, and do you keep them in

a warm, well-ventilated stable? Give

each mare forty drops of fluid extract

of nux vomica, one dram of fluid ex-

tract of cinchona,‘ and three drams of

Fowler’s solution at a dose in ground

feed or in drinking water. Give your

other mare one dram of santonin, thir-

ty grains of calomel and one-half ounce

of powdered gentian at a dose in soft

feed daily for six days.

succéssful Illinois farmer thought his land good enough—until he discovered

that without investing in commercial fertilizer he could make the" same soil“

produce double the corn by planting certain crops he did not know as soil-

rebuilders. A Michigan farmer wanted to add more livestock but thought

he could not do it without increasing his acreage, of pasture. He turned to

a new type of clover which attained a 10-foot,gr0wth and thus solved his

problem. Still another farmer believed he would have to keep on buying

concentrated feed—such as bran, shorts, oil meal—for the end of his life. But '

he found another way to produce fat and protein—and besides, it permitted

him to put land to work which had never before been able to produce a profit.
