Organization without definite pur- pose is like a gun without sights. It takes a vigorous and highly moral people to make a great nation. 0 Knowing how to do the things every- body wants done is the first qualifica- tion for leadership. The advantages of wise and efficient agricultural legislation may easily be lost to the individual farmer through unwise and inefiicient farm manage- ment. .

ONDAY, January 23, an agricultur- The Ang- al conference called cultural by Secretary of Agri- Program culture Wallace, will begin its delibera- tions at \VashingtOn. This conference will consist of a rather large body of men who will participate in its. delib— erations at the invitation of Secretary Wallace. More than half of the person- nel of this conference will consist of farmers and their representatives, in- cluding officers of state departments of agriculture, agricultural college pro- fessors, agricultural editors, econo- mists and farm organization leaders. In addition to these spokesmen forlthe farmers men from all walks of life, including railroad executives, meat packers, commission men, canners, fer- tilizer manufacturers, millers, grain dealers, farm implement manufactur- ers, bankers, automobile and truck manufacturers, etc., will sit in the con- ference. These men have been invited to sit in with the farmers, hear the agricultural situation discussed from the farmer’s standpoint, then all to- gether undertake to arrive at a mutual - understanding of the actual conditions and problems involved and if possible arrive at a solution of this basic phase of the national economic problem. Whether the combined thought of I / i i~ . this conference is able to formulate a , remedy for present universal economic ills or not, the idea of getting a body of representative farmers and business . men together to discuss a great mutual ~ problem is a good one, and if nothing 'i more is accomplished than to better if acquaint the business men with the "farmer’s viewpoint and vice versa it ' ‘ be productive of be ‘eficiai re suits. A mutual understanding of the problems involved is most desirable. Men in other lines of business cannot know too much about the agricultural problem, and farmers will be broaden- ed by the viewpoint of men engaged in other lines of business, It is also pos- sible that more practical and tangible benefits may result from the delibera- tions of the conference, regarding which our readers will be kept inform- ed through the attendance of a special editorial representative besides our resident ashington correspondent. But in this connection we would again urge our readers to give the most careful consideration to their own individual economic problems in the planning of next season’s farm cam- paign. Michigan farmers are more for- ‘ tunately situated in this regard than those of perhaps any other great agri- cultural state. Nature has been kind in giving them soil and climatic con- ditions suited to the production of a wide variety of food products. Indus- trial development h'as favored them with good markets for the bulk of this varied production close at hand. The Michigan farmer is in the best possi- ble position to not only make his farm, provide the bulk of the foodstuffs need- ed by his family, but also to supply the bulk of the foodstuffs required by the industrial population of the cities close at hand at a fair price as com— pared with receipts from distant mar- kets upon which the great majority of American farmers must depend. This fact is responsible for the present com- paratively independent financial condi- tion of Michigan farmers, and with proper development on the part of farmers, acting individually, and by communities, it may be made to con- tribute still more largely to their pros- perity this year. N the last issue we, Getting at commented on the" necessity of greater the Tax public economyall Problem along the line, to the end that the burden of taxation, which is falling so heavily on the farmers of Michigan this year, may be lightened. In this comment it was pointed out that there are two classes of people interested in taxes, the large class who pay them and who are especially interested in getting val- ue received in necessary service for the tax money they pay, and the com- paratively small class who render and geti the money for a varying degree and value of service. Obviously, as was pointed out in the comment above ‘referred to, substantial relief from the present burden of taxation can come only through the,initiative of the for- mer class in the selection of oflicers for all legislative and executive posi- tions whom they believe will stand consistently for wise economy in pub- lic expenditures. Hence the suggestion for united discussion and effort to that end during the next few months. Fortunately the first opportunity for effective work along this line will be right at home for every Michigan Farmer reader. Local township officers will be the first to be selected. It is not only the privilege, but the duty of every farmer t0‘ familiarize himself with the financial affairs of his town- ship,- his road district and his school district. He should also be in a good position to judge whether the service purchased with his local tax money has been reasonably adequate for its cost. In judging this question fairly it should always be borne in mind «that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to secure the conduct-of public busi- ness on as economical and efficient a basis as private. business is conducted This is especially true where it is “part time” work, as is often the case in local affairs: But a reasonable re- lation of the cost of necessary public service should be maintained, and the g ity and if there is not the proper out- i: and be interested in the proposition. Next to the purely local tax prd‘blem comes the county tax problem Here the individual contact cannot be as close as - with the township problem. The township is our only purely demo- cratic governmental am. The“ people of every township have opportunity to transact their own=business and make their own appropriations of money for public purposes. The representative. or republican form of government he- gins with the county. Under our pres- ent form of county government every township is a unit of represpntation. The farmers of most townships consti- tute a majority of the voters and pay by far the greatest bulk of the county tax money collected in the Township. Their, direct contact with the county government is through the supervisor of their township, who is a member of the county board of- supervisors and a more or less important factor-in the county government, depending in de- gree on his ability as a leader and the length of his service. It is entirely proper for any farmer or any group of farmers in any township to ask the supervisor of that township for a de- tailed statement regarding any phase of the governmental affairs of the county. This should be done during the months intervening before the ~an~ nual township meeting in April, to the end that you may have a better under- standing of county governmental prob- lems and expenditures. Such a course, generally followed, would go a long way toward insuring a more economic conduct of county administrations. Securing similar results in the larger unit of state government is more dif- ficult, but much can be done along this line after local tax problems have been given “first aid” attention. Poor econ- omy in governmental matters is large- ly due to a too general application of the' old maxim that “What is 'every- body’s business is nobody’s business.” From this standpoint the people of ev- éry governmental unit will always get ~ about the kind of public eConomy they are entitled to, at least they are not likely to get better results along this line than they areentitledto as meas- ured by their interest in the conduct of public affairs. If they are to get better and more economic public ser- vice they first must live up to their primary duties and obligations as re- spOnsible citizens. There has never been a time in our history when this was more important-than atthe pres- ent time, as the present tax illustrates. No amount of vigilance can reduce the plane of taxation in this state to its former level, but eternal vigilance on the part of every public spirited citi- zen is essential to the end ,that this burden may be kept within the most. reasonable possible limits in the imme- diate future and in the years to come. I HE other day a Our D \local paper pub- O uty lisheda review of a to “'2 book entitled “The Community Community,” by Ed- ward Lindeman. This book was dedicated to the communities of this state in which Mr. Lindeman had his experience as state leader of boys’ and girls’ clubs. In the same issue there was an arti- cle on “The Mystery of the Missing Girls.” This article stated that one hundred thousand girls disappeared from their homes every year, forty-two thousand of whom were never heard from again. Many came from moder- ately well-to-do families and a great proportion Of them from rural districts. These two newspaper articles are men- tioned as there is a close relation be- tween the community and the missing girl. Youth is a period of life and activ- spirit and ambition, er breaks away frOm the bondage and goes out to "€905“ life” with the uSual disastrous results. S we, of mature age; shirk a great‘ro- ‘ sponsibility ‘ when w‘e~do not try to pro- vide some wholesome and interesting form of activity for those who are just budding into manhood and woman- hood. Sometimes we think we are ful- filling our duties in this respect when we attempt, to have youth conform to the ideas and activities of maturity. 'But in so doing we are utterly falling, for we cannot be successful in ceping With this problem until we look at it from the- standpoint of youth. In the city there are activities aplenty; the problem is to guide the young people to the right ones. But in the country the problem is ofte'n'a greater- one. In many rural districts there are no_ organized activities for young folks. There is "nothing to do V and nothing to do is nearly as bad as something to do that ismot justrightt Somedne has truthfully said that an idle mind is the devil’s hand-maid. So, it seems that our duty to our community is nearly as close to us as our duty to our children. For, it is for the happiness and safety of our young folks that we should be a’factor in providing the community with good wholesome social activities in which our children can participate. Much can be done in this respect by encouraging the development on ’ Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, Scout troops,- Campfire Girls, church clubs, debating, clubs and various forms of sports and social activities which will develop in the young people an interest in a Wide variety of wholesome things. Silence ILENCE is no noise. It is some- thing that you can’t hear, but what you sometimes can feel. For inst, when keepin’ still is un- comfortable» you bet there’s somethin’ wrong. But when sayin’ nothin’ is sat- isfyin’ the parties of the first and .sec— 0nd part sure is agreed” on their men- tal contents. There’s times when say- in’ nothin’ means a lot what ain’t got no hause on it. Silence must be recreation f o r some folks. ’cause it’s so different from what they is doin’ most of the time. _ There’s one Eng- lishman what spent the evenin’ with another. They said, “How do” when he came, and “Good-night. This was the most. enjoyable evenin’ ' I ever spent,” when he left. They spent two hours keepin’ still about somethin’ and enjoyed it. Th’ere s no chance for argu- ment in such considerashun- of sub- jects. Somebody said speech is silver and silence is gold. Guess he’ s right about the silver part, the way Bill Bryan _talked about silver when I was a pup. And judgin’ from that, there’s lots of , folks what is full of silver besides what they’s got in their teeth and, pocketbooks. For inst, there’s Walt Smith what talks all day and snores all night. Silence is keeping still what is legal. But some kinds of still ain’t lawful what produces more’n the legal speci- fications of liquid socialibity. "Silence is useful in love. .

OR several years back, spasmodic F efforts to utilize Michigan’s marl deposits for agricultural purposes have been made. Many of these ef- n forts have thrived for a time, and then died a natural death. More than one factor caused the discontinuance of these early efforts. In the first place, theneed of lime has not", until recent- ly, been recognized by any great num- ber of Michigan farmers. Again, it Was often found cheaper to buy ground limestone which, while more expensive of first’cost, could be readily spread and handled. Anything was cheaper than labor, especially when help on the farm could not be hired at any price. Also, marl does not always act just as you expect it to. Some beds of marl come out, and on being exposed to the air, readily disintegrate so that it is easily spread. Other marls do not han- dle so easily. Some marl deposits are near the surface, and are dry beds so that all that is needed is to shovel it into the wagon or Spreader, and haul it direct to the field. Others have to be mined. Higher freight rates, coming at a time when the farmer was just begin- ning to use more and more lime, has focused his attention on this marl proposition. Special Bulletin No.21 of the Michigan Agricultural College tells us that marl. testing eighty- -eight per cent contains about 1,470 pounds of (CA CO3) lime to the cubic yard. To the~practical farmer desiring to use lime, this means that if he can get a yard of marl on his land for less mon- ey than he can get its equivalent in limestone, marl is what he is going to us as a source of lime. Recognizing this interest on the part of the farmer in the mining and utili? zatidn of mar], the Branch County ‘Farm Bureau, after discussing the mat- ter for nearly a year, and after seeing several different types of marl mining machinery in use, decided to stage a marl mining demonstration. The ob- ject of this demonstration was: First, to stimulate interest in the use of marl; second, to bring together those who had experimented with the different methods of mining marl; and third, to No. 2.—Position of Bucket as it Enters the Marl Bed. '“itilizing MarllepOSitS‘ By C. I. Nam ' assist, if possible, in hastening the day when more successful methods of handling marl will be available. To this end, the bureau arranged with Mr. Tom Turner, of Matteson township, to stage such a demonstra-. tion at his farm on October 14,1921. This demonstrationyvas made possible by the cooperation of the Branch Coun- ty Road Commissioners, the Farm Me- chanics Department of the M. A. C., and the Beech Manufacturing Co. Mr. Musselman, of the Farm Mechanics Department, just before the demon- stration, had completed a tour of the state to investigate methods of mining marl, He gave many valuable sugges- tions, and, by the use of photos, etc., explained to the people attending the results of his investigation. The Beech Manufacturing Company loaned the use of a buckwet which they had made especially for this demonstration, and gave other valuable assistance and sug- gestions. The road commissioners moved their two-drum hoist; used in getting out gravel, to the scene of the demonstration, and also assisted in its operation. The outfit used consisted of the two- drum hoist mentioned above, equipped with an eighteenhorse-power gas en- gine, and a drag line bucket. The two- ’drum hoist is shown in Illustration No. 1, set up ready for use No.2 shows the bucket just entering the marl bed, while No.3 shows it filled with marl. No. 4.—Bucket is Dumped. Illustration No. 4 shows the bucket be- ing emptied of its load. This picture needs some explanation. It will be not- ed that the bucket is hinged pn a pair of runners. As the tension is put on the cable to pull the bucket back, the bucket is set up on its nose, and the load dumped. This feature overcomes one trouble experienced in mining marl; i. e., getting the bucket to dump. Other marl mining demonstrations have been held in southern Michigan during the past season. All have been more or less successful; however, it is safe to say that further trials will per- fect machinery for getting out marl beyond its present development. If large quantities were used in any giv- en neighborhood so that expensive equipment coulld be bought, the prob- lem of getting out marl would be sim- plified. As it stands today, the problem is to get it out with a cheap outfit. No. 3.—The Catch—a Good Load is Secured Each Haul. Winter Care of the Breeding Ewes By L60 C. Reyna/d5 HE winter months with the suce cessful sheep owner is always a busy and important time in the management of the breeding flock. If the ewes have been well cared for during the fall and have come into the winter in fair flesh condition and mat- edto a male possessing marked quali- ties» of masculinity, the success of the lamb crop now depends very largely upon the care the flock receives dur- ing the remaining winter months. It is always a great disappointment to the flock owner when lambing time ar- rives to find the lambs come inferior in strength and size and the ewes lack- ing in milk production. \ Frequently where sheep are kept in ”conjunction with other farm live stock it is the practice to allow the breeding ewes to shift for themselves during the winter, running on pasture ' when the ground is not covered too deep with snow, with little or no grain and a very narrow roughage ration. The breeding flock must not be al- vitrified to get wet from cold, chilling ”atoms. Bless-trons results are sure to Sheep, ‘unllke other farm live >_ but the temperature of the body is lowered that the general health of. the animal is impaired. Pregnant ewes in particular should be protected against cold drenching storms. Some 'flock owners follow the prac- tice of confining the ewes to a close stable during the night, allowing them to run out during the day. Close stab- ling at night causes the sheep to exude oil and moisture from the skin on ac- count of their heavy covering of wool and when turned out in the cold are likely to become chilled and contract catarrh. Sheep do not require costly shelter. A dry, light‘and well-ventilat- ed shelter is sufficient. Ventilation in the sheep barn should be ample, care being taken to avoid drafts. If a large flock of breeding ewes are kept, the sheep should be .divided into smaller groups. Individuals of about the same age, strength and general dis- position should be housed together. There‘is always some members of the flock that are timid and rather. deli- cate feeders. These ewes should be separated and put in a pen by them- selvesnand given special attention. Pregnant ewes do much. better when kept in small flocks where each indi- vidual can be observed and given care. Pregnant ewes should be allowed plenty of yardage and stable room so they‘will not injure one another by crowding. It is not uncommon for ewes to lose their lambs from too close confinement. Sheep are susceptible to being suddenly frightened running against one another through doors or narrow passages, between racks, caus- ing abortion or internal injury. This is very apt to happen when the ewes ' get well along in pregnancy. It is a safe rule] to follow to allow ewes weighing around one hundred pounds ten square feet of free ground space in the barn. also be. measured so as to allow about sixteen inches to the animal, and more in case of the large mutton breeds.- There should always be rack room to spare as some ewes will not crowd, but had rather stand back and go hun- gry. Pregnant ewes should be Closely watched and means devised that each member of the flock receive proper care. The ewes should be encouraged to take plenty of exercise.

I , The commission is making an inves- tigation of Michigan tax conditions for the purpose of suggesting changes to the next regular session of the legis- lature. Various property interests are appearing before the commission at \ hearings and are making their sugges- tions for improvement. January 25 the agricultural interests are to‘Tgather at the State Capitol at ten a. m. The Farm Bureau, Grange, Gleaners and Association of Farmers’ .Clubs have been invited to send their repiesentatives along with those of other agricultural interests. TO STUDY TAX PROBLEMS. ATE. ELMER BEAMER, representing, the Michigan State Farm Bureau, and E. E.'Compson} representing the Mich- igan Live Stock Exchange, met recent- ly at. Toledo with representatives of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and with H. G. Beale, a director of the Na- tional Live Stock Board, to consider preliminary plans leading to the estab- lishment of cooperative commission houses on those markets to which go a sufficient number of Michigan and Ohio cooperative shipments. Briefly stated, the decisions of the conferees were: First—That existing organizations ”both local and state, make it advisable , 4, ‘ that the Ohio and Michigan Live Stock Producers be represented incoopera- the commission houses through their respective state organizations. Second—That Michigan “and Ohio should. cooperate through existing state organizations in the financing and directing of cooperative commis- sion houses at Cleveland, Buffalo, To- ledo and Detroit. Third .———That a second conference should be held at Toledo some time between January 15 and 20. Fourth. —That each state committee be prepared to report on the type of' organizatiOn‘ that may and should be established in conformity to the laws of that state. Fifth.—-—That- Ohio and Michigan should make a. vigorous effort to no. cure the appointment of a member from this territory on. th .f t , .. ’ :i‘Mi’ch‘igan StandardizesFru its, ,Gro‘wer: Adopt Kmd: Bert Stated for P/arztmg Qua/22y a Factor By James T the meeting of the Michigan State Horticultural Society held 1 at Grand Rapids in the first week of December, 1921, a revolutionary step .Was taken in that the state of Michi- gan goes on record as being in favor of standardizing varieties of fruit trees planted in this state. So far as is known, no other state in the Union has . attempted to standardize the plantings of orchardists, and it is believed that this action by the State Horticultural Society will have a very important bearing on the future orchard industry , , in our state. The history of this standardization movement is interesting. When the cooperative associations of Michigan attempted to grade apples in cent1a1 packing plants, it was found that dur- ing the season they barreled and label- ed from fifty to one hundred and ten different varieties of apples. This meant that these various varieties must be sold to people who knew the varieties, and while most any-buyer knows all about'a Greening, Spy, Snow or Jonathan, they often wondered what was meant when an ’OxNoble or 001- ‘ bert' was stamped on a barrel and caus- ed the shipper to take a lesser price. This same thing happened all overthe state, and those men Who managed the central packing houses appreciated the tremendous commercial value it would be to the state of Michigan if varieties of fruit 'produced could be standardized. Therefore they began .to talk about it, and a strong senti- ment was built up favoring standardi- zation. About a year ago Mr. T. A. Fan and secretary of the Michigan State Horti- cultural Society, was appointed exten- sion specialist in horticulture from the Michigan Agricultural College. He was thoroughly imbued with the standardi- zation idea, and in his travels about the state in horticultural extension wdrk, found that this was one of the crying needs for the advancement of Michigan horticulture. Therefore, at the business meeting of the Horticul- tural Society held during the mid-sum- mer tour, a committee on fruit variety ‘ standardization was, appointed to work with the executive committee of the society, and ordered to make a report at the annual meeting to be held in December, 1921. This committee had 'several meet- ings, and a final session just before their report was presented at the an- nual meeting. This report aroused con- siderable discussion, but Was~finally adopted as given below. The following apples are listed now as standard for Michigan by the Michigan State Horti- ‘cultural Society and the Horticultural Department of the Michigan Agricul- tural College: Wealthy, Snow, Grimes Golden, Mc- Intosh, Jonathan, Rhode Island Green- ing, Steele’s Red, Northern Spy, Duch- ess, Wagener, and Hyslop Crab Apples. The Spy and Duchess are recom- mended for the southern section of the state and the Wagener for the north- ern part of the lower peninsula. Ajglance at these varieties at once impresses one with the very high qual- ity of the apples chosen to represent Michigan. Beginning with the fall ap- ples, we find the Wealthy, a fine apple to eat out of hand;\and w," wants. a better tasting apple than‘ e Snow, McIntosh, Grimes Golden and Jonas than around Christmas time? Your 1 ' Rhode Island Greening and Spy are .. the best cooking and dessert apple in Michigan The it1:11:1chess is the first ap- makes real ap- L. Krakcr ., McIntosh is the best baked apple grown—try it if you are doubtful, and we all know that the Rhode Island Greening is the apple that made the apple pie famous. Hyslop is by far the best crab apple Variety known. Therefore, when Michigan gets her apples standardized, as they will be twenty years from now, one will speak of Michigan" apples, not only as being standardized, but as carrying the high- est amount of quality of any apples marketed by any 1egion. Just compare those varieties listed above with the apples boomed by some of the western people—Rome Beauty, Newtown Pip- pin, Black Ben; consider the difference in quality and flavor of a Michigan ap- ple as compared with a western apple of the same variety, and you will ap- Auto Tire as Border fgr Posy Bed. preciate the outstanding position that Michigan apples will take when this standardization program is carried out. Other fruits for which standard vari- eties were adopted follow: Pears—Bartlett, Keiffer, Seckel, Bosc, Clapps, for southern Michigan. PeachwElberta. Any farmer who is planning on plant- ing only a few trees, or if he is consid- ering setting out a commercial orchard should consider this list of Michigan standards and plant those varieties from it which he feels are best suited to his needs. Then when he markets the crop ten or twenty years hence, he will have no trouble in marketing them through his own cooperative associa- tion, and the fame of Michigan apples will spread abload in the land, which means 1epeat ordeis. On the back cover of the program of the Michigan State Horticultural So- ciety this year, the South Haven Fruit Exchange said, “Organize, Standardize, and then you can Merchandise.” This the fruit gi‘owers of Michigan are now doing. ' A NEW USEMFOR THE AUTOMO- ° BILE TIRE. N planning an attractive, but inex- pensive garden, I found that there ' are many ways in which one can add to a; garden’s beauty and yet do so without any considerable cost. Several places in the garden I used discarded automobile tires to good ad- vantage where circular bbds were re- quired. When filled with earth, they present the appearance of concrete basins. They last for years in such a capacity—P. C. G. GOOD SEEDS. R. STARR, a Michigan seedsman, said that reliable seedsmen go through considerable trouble to supply good seed, and therefore good seed cests more to produce than the ordi- nary kind. The best suggestion he could make was that the grpwers es- tablish friendly relations with the seed dealer. able seed comes from abroad; but the large reliable seed houses have in- spectors abroad just as they have in this country. ‘-‘You can pay the price and not get good seed, ” concluded Mr. It was stated that consider-0 HontgomeryWai'dt?

The new Jamesway de— sign ofpoultry house bids fair to revolutionize the poultry industry of the country. It assures plenty of warmth with drsitless pure. fresh air at all times: sunlight; clean, dry floors; dry walls and ceiling: nestsfree from mites and lce; and makes certain that the hens need never 'be without feed and water. It saves great amounts of expensive feeds now be- ing wasted; increases egg yields: and makes the work easy and pleasant. And the cost is surpris- ingly small.

HAT the'farmers must organize if they are to get fair markets and an economic distribution for their products, was established by ev- ery speaker on general farm problems, who addressed the live stock men at the thirty-first annual meeting of Michigan Breede}s and Feeders held at M. ,A- C. on January 11-12. Mr. J. G. Brown, of Indianapolis, president of the Indiana Federation‘of Farmers’ Associations, established this fact in the minds of all his hearers when he of burros the females are huddled in a group and the males gather around them with their heads together and kick the enemy. When danger threat- ens the farmers they gather with their heads but and their heels together and kick each other.” Organization to place an agricultural the blocs placed there by big commer- cial interests for the purpose of influa encing legislation is absolutely neces- sary if the farmers "are to get-legisla- tion favorable to their industry, con- , tended_Mr. H. A. Moehlenpah, of Mil- waukee, president of the Investors’ Finance Corporation. To show the place an organization atWashington could fill for'the- farmer the financial man said, “Legislation is needed at present to authorize Federal Reserve banks to extend a. second line of cred- it to the farmer so that he may get loans for one or two years’ time as ‘well as for the six months period which is already provided for.” He pointed out that these banks have one hundred per cent of gold back of their notes, whereas the “law only requires that they have thirty-five per cent back of them. Mr. Moehlenpah made it perfectly clear, however, that he was not advocating any class legislation. “The farmer'wants his just dues, but he will never get them unless he or- ganizes and sticks by his organiza- tion,” said Mr. Hoehlenpah. Proof of the good that one organi- zation is doing was given by Mr. C. J. Fawcett, head of the wool department ”of the American Farm Bureau Federa- x said, “When danger threatens a pack bloc at Washington comparable with .

C. tlon,who showed that the wool pool, by straightening out that long and cir- cuitous road from producer to con- sume-r, was able to handle wool more economically than the speculator who causes the product to go through so many hands and to travel so many un- necessary miles before it goes into the hands of the mill man. He gave an instance when he traced one clip from its home in Iowa to St. Louis,‘ Missouri, where it was bought by a. speculator. Another speculator in the same city next got the wool and from here he could not be certain just where it was sent, but it was found that the last named speculator sent much of his material to a mill in Phil- adelphia and that this was probably the destination of the Iowa. clip. Under the wool pooling plan the-product goes . directly to the warehouse where it is graded and then sold directly to the mill men. No speculator is allowed to dabble in the marketing plan at all. Mr. D. D. Aitken, former president of the Michigan Holstein-Fresian As- sociation, brought out another phaSe in the necessity of organization when he said that the breeders must hold to- gether in compelling the man who is using high-priced machinery on his farm to begin a wise and economical program in the gathering together of pecessary equipment. Mr. Aitken said, "We have no right to expect cost of production plus a reasonable profit for our milk when it costs $7.00 a hundred" pounds to produce simply because it: is produced by the use of elaborate machinery as has been found it? be the case in many places.” Have good and efficient maghinery but do not use extravagant outfits. * Organizations must advocate the giving of credit by the United States to Europe before a readjustment of the price relation betWeen agricultural products and commercial products can be reached, contended F.

THE DURA'BILITY 0F CONCRETE ’ TILE. * proportion of the total number of tile that have been laid in Michigan, 7 a. majority of the failures of tile to stand up must be credited to concrete tile. Until recent years, an argument that was'often advanced in favor of. concrete tile by manufacturers was that they were porous. It was ‘claimed that water entered the drains readily through their walls and that they were therefore more eflicient than non-por- oustile. Experiment has proven, how- ever, that only a negligible proportion of the water entering a drain made of concrete tile enters through the tile walls; that the water thus passing through them actually weakens the tile by carrying some of the cement with it in solution; and that« the strongest tile are.those which show the lowest percentage of absorption. Nearly all the instances in which concrete tile have disintegrated that have been brought to the writer’s at- tention, have been where they had been laid in muck or sand. In some cases tile similar to those which broke down within a short 'time after being installed in these soils have given good service in clay soils. Just what is responsible for this has not been definitely determined, although indica- tions are that it is due to the presence of acids common to the lighter soils. - Most of the tile used in these in- stances had been made on the farm where facilities for mixing and curing are not of the best. Tests made by the College Experiment Station at East Lansing, as reported in Special Bul- letin No. 75, shew that the breaking down of concrete tile is due to one or more of the following causes: 1. The use of too lean a mixture. 2. The use of too dry a mixture. 3. Improper mixture. ‘ 4. Improper curing of the tile after they have been formed. 5. Placing the tile in the ground be- fore the concrete has hardened sufli- ciently to prevent the. absorption 'of - soil water. * Experiments extending over akperiod of several years will be required to determine the durability of concrete “‘tile 'in the various types of soils. Until this is done the farmer is advised against taking, the risk involved in us-t ing them, in view of the fact that good concrete tile cost as much as a good “grade of clay tile‘a'bout 'whdse dura- bility there is nodoubts—W. van H. :- Tractors: nomo‘.IIIomnIIIotIInlIIOIIIOm.mo BELT» ' = Threshers Baling Presses Feed Grinders Corn 'Sheller's ,Ensilage Cutters 1 I Cane Mills ‘ Stone Burr Mills . - - .

Why Are the Most Successful Farmers Using International HarVester Equipment? MORE than 100,000 farmers who have decided in“ favor of International Harvester tractors have I been guided by the same impulses. ~ They knewthat, because of its 90-year contact with, farming problems, the International Harvester Company was in better position than any other company to design and build long-lived, practical farm tractors. , They knew that in the International Harvester line they could find both tractors and machines which were designed to work together as field units. They were absolutely sure that the most practical and 'helpful service would be quickly and easily and forever available to them. Many years’ experience with the Inter- national Harvester Company had convinced them that no- where else could they find a line of power farming equipment so closely backed by satisfactory service. They knew that these factors would guarantee their investments for years of usefulness.

Why not you? ‘I Saw_ NT only tical and ‘_ '- Your ~ l OLLOWING closely in the wake of the Muskegon Cooperative Milk Distributing Plant, the farmers o'f Lansing are «about ready to launch a building program for the most up~todate milk plant in this part of the state of Michigan. For many months past the milk pro- ducers of the Lansing area have been turns for their milk. This constant friction between the prdducers and the distributors, of the Lansing territory has led' to the' farmers ‘taking things into their own hands and today there is practically completed a producers’ organization of considerable note. . The men that have been instrument- al in promoting this organization are some of the largest producers of milk in this section. The first step which was taken by them was to investigate the Grand Rapids Dairy Company, op- crating in the city of Grand Rapids and conducting a distributing business for their farmer members. Upon in- vestigation of this plant it was found that several mistakes had been made and these have been entirely correct- ed. The plant today was found to be in a very healthy condition. It was also found that there were three other farmers’ distributing plants in the state. One at Kalamazoo, Which has operated for fifteen years and during. the last twelve months has paid their members $3.20 per hundred for 3.5 milk, with five cents a point for any additional butter-fat contained in the milk above the 3.5. ’This organization at Kalamazoo was found to be running in competition with four other distrib- uting plants of about equal size. They were supplying their customers with better than four per cent milk at thir- teen cents a quart, until in December the price was reduced to eleven cents a quart and then the price was reduced to the producers to $2.50 for 3.5 milk. The Lansing men also investigated the Berrien County Milk Producers’ 'Association, located at Benton Harbor and supplying the cities of Benton Har~ bor and St. Joseph. This plant has been in operation for three years, starting with an output of 750 gallons per day and reaching the 2,000 gallon EMBERSHIP in a cow-testing M association opens up for the milk producer three avenues for increasing , the profits "received from the herd. _ The first and probably the greatest benefit is the ability 'to de- termine which cows are paying a prof: * it for their feed and which are losing money on the feed which they are eat- ing. It also is possible to determine the economic value of certain rations. One balanced ration may appear to have all desirable properties; but it may cost more in proportion to milk produced than another balanced ration. Only by records‘obtained by testingr'in some form, private, afsociation, or offl- cial, can a farmer be certain. which cows and which feeds are economical. The second manner in which herd profits may be increased is ., by the higher price.recelved for calves from tested cows, aim the additional value of a herd the young stock_ in which is all produced by the best cows. , I The third manner in which profits may be increased is through the pos sesSion of figures which permit check- ing up tests given bymllk' distributors and cameras when. #11919 milk J°r very much dissatisfied with the re—“ ' feed only. organize to,” D'iSttibirté .Milk: I Dairy/men z'n‘ Lanrzhg Arm Prepare to Handle Milk. ‘ .

This organization has been able to pay its members $3.00 per hundred for 3.5 ., milk with an' additional five cents per ,point butter-fat above the 3.5. price was paid in 1921 until Septem- ber, when the price of _milk, was re- duced to thirteen cents a quart for,4.5 milk and eleven cents a quart for 3.5 milk daily. Their returns to the farm- ers since September have been $2.50 for 3.5 milk, In addition to this price paid to 'the farmer. for their milk, this organization has been able to lay by a. surplus of approximately $4,000, which will be used to retire‘ some of their outstanding bonds. This organization has a $750,000 plant and equipment of the very latest type. There is also another cooperative milk distributing plant at Muskegon Heights which these men haVe not as yet visited. ' ‘ The Lansing Association started a canvassing campaign for the selling of their stock to dairymen about eight Weeks ago. The farmers themselves have done all the canvassing for stock subscriptions, and have not paid out one dollar for any professional stock salesmen. At the very enthusiastic meeting held Thursday, January 5, the canvass- ers reported from every section, to which they had been assigned, and, it was found that their surveyshowed 2,000 cows signed up 150 this organiza- tion. This number of cows constitutes approximately two-thirds of all the cows in an area seven miles each way from Lansing. At this meeting the Stockholders determined to discontinue the selling of stock on and after Jan- uary 26, giving anyone who had not‘ signed up for a membership in the or- ganization three weeks in which to do so. It wasrthe sentiment at this meet- ing that enough cows had been signed up and enough money subscribed to warrant the closing of the campaign. A’committee of three members of/ the board of directors, Mr. Daniel Kreitz, Edward Stahl and Samuel- Young were selected to take a trip over several cities in other states, where plants were operating and using (Continued on page 77). Cow-Testing Association Profits Some Interesting Work in Lapeer Coumfy By A. J. Patch cream is sold. Most milk and cream- . ery companies will take the association tester’s figures on fat content of milk as a basis for settlement, in case any dispute arises over the test of milk or cream. ' ‘ . Besides these three direct ways of increasing profits from herds pf cows there is opened up to the wide-awake dairyman an almost unlimited field of possibilities. Thefigures given here are the official figures for the year for the Lapeer County Cow~testing associ- ation. When reading theSe figures re- member that the costs given are for No labor, investment, or overhead is included in costs shown. There were 290 cows entered for test in the association. These cows were divided into twenty'herds which var- ied in numbers from seven cows to sixty-two cows.

One hundred and thirty pounds of butter-fat per year per cow are Well ‘worthy of the consideration of any dairyman. That amount of but- ter-fat amounts to approximately $65 a year on the production of one cow.

Pope HE first week in the new" year and I am helping to care for some imported Belgian horses, milking Jersey. cows and feeding Dur- oc hogs (apologies to my Shorthorn and Poland-China friends). We are winding up the Christmas vacation I with the wife’s good people down on Greenwood _Stock -Farm. The hired man is off the job, so I am permitted to work off the evil effects of the big eats by 'helping with the chores and occasionally husking a few ears of the big corn. Mr. Hannah, the proprietor of the Farm, has for many years farmers. He has almost a habit of becoming presi- dent of all sorts of farmers’ organ- izations. And, al- though nOw at the threshold I of his seventieth year he retains an abundance of vigor and vi- tality, and has just recently been the unanimous choice for president of the largest County Farm Bureau in Ohio. FOR twenty-four years he has been a director, and twelve years of that time president of the County Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company, an organ- ization with over three thousand mem- O ' bers and carrying a. risk of close .to ten million dollars, which my own fath- er helped to organize in 1894 and serv- ed as secretary until his removal from the county. . Mr. Hannah has always been a great lover of a good horse, and on Green- wood Stock Farm has produced many of them: Percherons, Belgians, Stand- a superb animal, was raised on the are breds. His best Beglian stallion, farm. His dam is one of the greatest mares I have ever known. She has a sweepstakes championship ‘medal won at an international fair at Brussels be- fore being imported. She also won first at Ohio State Fair soon after reaching this. country. Her official weight is one ton. THERE are many things about the Greenwood Stock Farm that would *5 be of interest to Michigan Farmer” readers. I have mentioned the horses first because they have long held the center of the stage. A small herd of Jersey Cattle is also maintained upon the farm. The milk is separated and cream is the main cash product. The separator is belted to the line Shaft along with the churn, the power wash- er, and emery wheel. Mr. Hannah raises and feeds pure-bred hogs princi- pally for the market, making no spe- cial effort to sell for breeding purpos- es, although none but pure-bred hogs ' have been bred on the farm for many years. He maintains that “blood will tell” in the feed lot, as well as in the show or sale ring, and practices what he pieaches. The poultry houses on Greenwood Stock Farm are of the open front type, closed tightly on the other three, sides, and are filled with White Leg- . horns. ' There are at present! around ' two hundred layers. They are confined to the houses in winter and are allow-’ -ed limited range in large well fenced runs of an acre or more in summer. Their ration consists just now, of corn fed on the ear and small grains in deep litter to induce plenty of exercise. In the self-feeders is a mixture of ground oats, bran, beef scraps‘ and oyster shells Grit and charcoal are supplied Greenwood Stock been prominent among .in separate compartments, also self- fed. Fresh water and skim-milk are supplied each day on a raised platform out of the way of the litter from the scratching floor. With early hatched pullets and the assistance of the exten- sion department experts in culling the flock, this practice is insuring 'a liberal supply of winter eggs. An’ eighty-five per cent egg yield is not uncommon at the height of the laying season. Mr. Hannah likes alfalfa forage for the hens as well as for the hogs, and he has a fresh plot ready to sow for each in the spring. AVARIATION from the ”regular farm practice the past season, resulted in securing twenty-five bushels of choice alfalfa seed in lieu of a second cutting, on a piece of eight acres. In addition to a liberal acreage of alfalfa, the‘fields on’ Greenwood Stock Farm are ,mainly devoted tm growing corn, oats, wheat and clover in rotation. \Sugar beets are grown to some extent for the Toledo factory, and tomatoes for the Heintz plant near the farm. Wheat and cloverseed are also relia- ble cash crops. All other farm prod- ucts are marketed through the live stock and the reSidue which goes back on the fields is largely responsible for their high state of fertility. Steers in the feed lot are often necessary to supplement the rest of the live stock in this process of converting forage into cash and fertility. THIS little sketch would hardly be complete without reference to the little lady of the house, the big end of the whole works, the best little moth- er-in-law in existence. Some of you may differ with me on this last state- ment, but there is simply no chance for argument, as it would be quite im. ‘possible for you to get my viewpoint. The world has been harsh in its treat— ment of many of her dear ones, and most of her days have been filled with cares and tasks the nature of which, few of us are able to comprehend. Through it all she maintains a cheer— ful, happy, patient, unselfish disposi- tion. It shows just the good scout that she is. \ THE POTASH TARIFF. HERE was a wide difference of opinion on the potash tariff ques- tion. The American Farm Bureau Fed- eration and National Grange are op- posing the tariff on potash on the grounds that it would compel the east- ern farmers and truckers who use pot~ ash fertilizers extensively, to pay heavy tribute not only to the'produc— ers and handlers of potash, but to the railroads in expensive transportation of potash across country from Utah and California. , In a statement on the potash tariff in the pending bill, Dr. T. C. Atksdn, Washington representatiVe of the Na- tional Grange, said: ‘ This material is placed on the free list in the Fordney house bill but in cluded in the potash item‘ appears a provision deferring the duty free en- trance of potash until five years after the bill takes effect, and charging a duty equivalent to two and a half cents per pound for the first two years, two cents for the third year, one‘ and a half cents per year for the fourth year and one cent. for the fifth year. It has been carefully estimated that for the five years assuming that this duty does not materially reduce the amount of potash .used, which would of itself be a calamity, it will cost the farmers: approximate! $40,000,000 There are more acres of good plowing in it — it costs less per year of use and. per acre of ground plowed — that’s the reason why there is real economy in buying the JOHN DEERE STAG SULKY It’s All Plow ..

He had recognized her step and had been about to speak to her; but at the sound of her voice he stopped the words on his lips and changed them ‘ into a direction for the nurse to leave the room. He waited while she called together and closed the door behind her. Har- riet saw that, in his familiarity with her tone and every inflection of her voice, he had sensed already that something unusual had occurred; she repea‘ted, however, her question as to' what he wanted. . “That does not matter now, Harriet. Where have you been?” “I have been walking with Mr. Eaton.” ‘1 “What happened?” She hesitated. “Mr. Eaton was al- most run down by a motor-car.” “Ah! An accident?” She hesitated again. She had seen on her father’s face the slight height-l ening of his color which, with him, was the only outward sign that mark- ed some triumph of his own mind; his blind eyes, abstracted and almost al- ways motionless, never showed any- thing at all. “Mr. Eaton said it was an accident,” she answered. “But you?” “It did not look to me like an acci- dent, Father. It—it showed intention.” “You mean it was an attack?” “Yes; it was an attack. The man in the car meant to run Mr. Eaton down; he meant to kill him or to hurt him terribly. Mr. Eaton wasn’t hurt. I called to him and pulled him—he Jump- ed away in time.” “To kill him, Harriet? know?” She caught herself. “I-I don’t know, Father. He certainly meant to injure Mr. Eaton. When I said'kill him, I was telling only what I thought.” “Tliat is better. I think so too.” “That he meant to kill Mr. Eaton?” “Yes.” She watched her father’s face; often when relating things to him, she Was aware from his expression that she was telling him only something he al- ready had figured out and expected or even knew; she felt that now. “Father, did you expect Mr. Eaton to be attacked?” ‘ “Expect? Not that exactly; it was possible; I SUSpected something like this might occur.” “And you did not warn him?” The blind man’s hands sought each other on the coverlet and clasped to? gether. “It was not necessary to warn , him, Harriet; Mr. .Eaton already knew. Who was in the car?” “Three men.” "Had you seen any of them before ?” 11L 1 C RE S —‘ Experience is Necessary ‘ MnAcRss IAM THE NEW HWNQQN.AT'TRE caflnAL 5cm“, AND AT BOARD MEETING LAsr NIGHT YOUR FATHER MD I MIGHT use Your?

' ’ He waited while she called together her recollections of the man. “I can’t describe him very fully, Father,” she said. “He was one of the people who had berths in the forward sleeping-car. I can recall seeing him only when I passed through the car—- I recall him only twice in that car and once in the diner.” .“That is interesting,” said Santoine. “What, Father?” By IVz'llz'am MacHarg and Edwzh Bd/mér : .

' His hair was black; I can’t re- call the color of his eyes; his cheeks were blue with a ‘heavy’ beard closely shaved. I remember his face was prog- nathous, and his clothes were spotted with dropped food. I—it seems hard for me to recall him‘, and I can’t de- scribe him very well." “But you are sure it was the same man in the motor?” ‘ “Yes.” , “Did he seem a capable person?" ‘ “Exactly what do you mean?” “Would he be likely to execute a purpose well, Harriet—either a pur- pose of his own, or one in which he had been instructed?” “He seemed an animal sort or per- son, small, strong, and not particulaer intelligent. It seems hard for me to remember more about him than that.” “That is interesting.” “What?” “That it is hard for you to remember him very well.” “Why, Father?” Her father did not answer. “The other men in the motor?” he asked. “I can’t describe them. 1—1 was ex-‘ cited about Mr. Eaton.” Even in Hitcfiing Horses _ “(04, Noi/fl ( 1cm HITCH up: we TAKEN A “'7 CORRESPONDENCE ’ COUQSE IN AGthuL'rUQE until she heard the approaching steps of the man summoned by Santoine’s bell; then, going to meet him, she sent him to call Eaton in his rooms, and she still waited until the man came back “and told her Eaton ,had already left his rooms and gone downstairs. She dismissed the man and went to the head of the stairs, but her steps slowed there and stopped. She was strained and nervous; often in acting as her father’s “eye” and reporting to him what she-‘saw, she felt that he found many insignificant things in her reports which were hidden from her- self; and she never had had that feel- ing more strongly than just now as she was telling him about' the attack made on Eaton. So she knew that the blind man’s thought in regard to Eaton had taken some immense stride; but she did not know what that stride had been, or what was coming now when her father saw Eaton; . She went on slowly down the stairs, and when halfway down, she saw Ea- ton in the hall below her. >He was standing beside the table whichxheld the bronze antique vase; he seemed to have taken something from the vase and to be examining it. She halted again to watch him; then she went on, and he turned at the sound of her foot- steps.

(it It Grows Plainer. ASIL SANTOINE’S bedroom, like ' the study below it, was-so nearly sound-proof that anything going on in the room could not be heard in the hall outside it, even close to the double doors. Eaton, as they approach- ed these doors/listened vainly, trying to determine whether any one was in the room with Santoine; then he quick- ened his step to bring him beside Harriet. , “One moment, please, toine,” he urged. She stopped. }What is it you want?” “Your father has received some an-l swer to the inquiries he has been hav« ing made about me?” “I don’t know, Mr. Eaton.” “Is he alone?” “Yes.” Eaton thought a minute. “That is all I wanted to know, then,” he said. Harriet opened the outer door and knocked on the inner one. Eaton heard Santoine’s voice at once calling them to come in, and as Harriet open. ed the second door, he followed her into the room. The blind man turned his sightless eyes toward them, and, plainly aware—somehow—that it was Eaton“ and Harriet who had come in, and that no one else was with them, he motioned Harriet to close the door and set a chair for Eaton besiderthe bed. Eaton, understanding this’ ges~ ture, took the chair from her and set it as Santoine’s motion had directed; then he waited for her to seat herself in one of the other chairs. ' “Am I to remain, Father?" she ask- ed then. ' “Yes,” Santoine commanded. Eaton Waited while she went to a chair at the foot of, the bed and seated herself—her clasped hands resting on the footboard and her chin upon her hands—in a position to watch both Eaton and her father while they talk‘ ed; then Eaton sat down. “Good morning, Eaton,” the blind Miss San- ,man greeted him. “Good morning, Mr. Santoine,” Ea- ton answered; he understood by, now that Santoine never began a conver- sation until the" one he was going to address himself to had spoken, and to it; it was only a black button frothat Santoine was able to tell, 'by the a woman’s glove—one of her own, per- sound of the voice, almost as much of haps, which [she had dropped without what was going on in the mind of one noticing.

' “You recall, of course, Eaton, our conversation on the train,” Santoine said evenly. v “Yes.” “And so you remember that I gave you at that time four possible reasons ——as 'the only possibe ones—why you had taken the train I was on. I said you must have taken it to attack me, or to protect me from attack; to learn something from me, or to inform me of something; and I eliminated as in- compatible with the facts, the second of these—I said you could not have taken it to protect me.” > “Yes.” “,Very well; the reason I have sent for you now is'that, having eliminated today still another of those possibili- ties—leaving only two—I want to call your attention in a certain order to some of the details of what happened on the train,” “You say that today you have elim- ina ed, another of the possibilities?” Eaton asked uneasily. ' “Today, yes; of course. You had rather a close call this morning, did you not?” . ‘ '(Continued next week).

Litte/l THE letter carrier was not due at the Allen farmhouse for another hour, but Milly, with a bulletin on poultry raising in her hand, strolled down to the big tree by the road to await his arrival. She was puzzled. Ten days before she had drawn on her old home town bank for $650 and as yet had received no reply from them. In the ordinary course of events the money should have come to her in four days, and a week should cover all unavoidable delays. What . was the' Or was the trouble with the mails? Certainly one or the other had bungled. She resolutely rejected uneasy sus- picions ‘ that the trouble lay nearer home. She had not mailed the letter herself, but had trusted it to Tom. Now she reproached herself for having giv- en a valuable letter to an eight-year- old child, though'Tom had proven un- u'SuallyrreliabI-e in every other particu- lar. She refused to admit even to’her- self that it was not Tom whom she suspected. When a week had passed without areply to her letter she had questioned Tom closely. He remem- bered everything about the two letters she gave him that day—the day she made the blackberry jam and let him “lick the dish.” But he didn’t mail them, Pa was up to the house resting and he took the bank letter and the other one to the agricultural college and said he’d mail them. And he did, 'cause he Went right down to the road with them, so he couldn’t have forgot and been carrying them in his pecket. Of course, Father Allen had mailed the letter, Milly told herself this morn- ing. What possible object could he have for not doing it? But Father Al- len’s anxiety to be the first to get the mail for the past ‘week would loom up in her mind in spite of her insistent assertions that theietter had been lost in the mail. . He had so far warded off all chance for her to -question the letter carrier, but this morning she had the field to herself. She settled herself comfort- ably in the shade, and resolutely dis- missing all disquieting thoughts, gave her mind wholly to the absorbing task of comparing relatiVe merits and de- merits in standard broods of chicks. She must be absolutely sure which strain would do best’up there before she bought. _' ,' The rattle of the carrier’s flivver brought her back from white eggs and a New York market or broWneggs sold at the door, to the disagreeable thing sire had to do: ' She should find out \ ; what he knew of the letter, but for some unaccountable reason she shrank th ovfledge. _ the handful of papers and letter in the box. “Hain’t seen you out here in quite a spell.” “Morning is a pretty busy time for me,” Milly answered, “but I left every— thing this morning because I wanted to ask you if you remembered anything about a letter I sent to the First Na- tional Bank at Chelsea ten days ago.” “No, I don’t remember a letter you sent to the First National Bank ten days ago,” Ab said, “But I’ll tell you what I do remember, Mrs. Bob. I re- mqnber one yOur Father Allen mailed to the bank yesterday, and I don’t care what the 91d man thinks about my blabbin’. He came out with a letter to the bank all sealed up in an envel- ope he’d made hisself out‘o’ a piece of writin’ paper. I thought it was gosh darned queer he’d be writin’ to the Chelsea bank, for I knew he didn’t have any money in it; so I felt round to see what he was up to. I suspicion- ed it was your letter. He let on you give the letter to Little Tom to mail, and Tom lost it, and he asked me not to tell you and get you down on Tom, but I didn’t make no promises. Me and the missus talked it over last night and I decided to tell you first chance I got. I ain’t goin’ to run the risk of losin’ my job for no kid. Feller on Route 3 0t first just for keeping a reg- istered letter over night~overlooked it till he got by the house and then didn’t go ack. The folks kicked up a rumpus ahomeone else has his route now. So that’s what happened to your letter, and if Old Man Allen don’t like my tellin’ he can come out with the truth himself next time.” Milly went back to the house with a heavy heart as the auto chugged away. Relief that her letter was safe and that her suspicions of Bob’s father were baseless was counterbalanced by the knowledge that Tom was not to be trusted. She could not believe,that a child could 100k so honest and straight- forward and tell such a wretched un‘ truth. She would have believed any- thing little Tom told her; and three years in a schoolroom had taught her pretty thoroughly how to recognize signs of deceit. A lump came up in her throat. 'If he had only told the truth," the losing of the letter was easy to forgive. And how mean she had been to sus- pect Father Allen! to want to ”shield his baby! . She, re- proached 4herself for all her unkind thoughts of him—she had‘never taken him so 'unreserVedlyinto her heart as she had‘the rest. In “fact, she had thought him small in many_ways.‘ But this exhibition of his kindness to little _ Tom wiped out all hispast. delinquenc :‘cies.

There is no use denying that it is a hard task after so many years of ignoring the possibilities of the school as anlintellectual and social force to the whole neighborhood, but better late than never IS the motto Of these men and women wno see in the closing of the “little red school house” a real peril to country life. It is all very well to go in for big things and talk of the advantages of carrying the children to a big graded institution Where they will enjoy the modern equipment, but it-must be re- membered that the one-room school house turned out many intellectual giants in days gone by, and it is not certain in the minds of the thoughtful that its days of usefulness are entirely past. Many youths who thundered and stamped and ranted in the country 1y- ceum a generation past received there the inspiration for public speaking and increased knowledge that landed them later in positions of responsibil- ity and fame. The triumphs of the old time spelling matches are as fresh in the minds of many grandmothers and grandfathers as if it were but yester- day that they ranged, eager for the fray, down the sides of the dimly light- ed school house and “slew their thou- sands” in the verbal fray. In many communities the school house is opened many times each win- ter for box suppers, spelling matches, entertainments, magic lantern shows, agricultural clubs, School exhibitions, community sings, neighborhood sup- pers, public speaking on various topics, political speeches, meetings todiscuss public‘improvements, musical enter- tainments and other pleasant little gatherings that sweeten and’enliven’ country living and furnish the young people a place to go Without having to run off to town for their amuse: ments. In many communities amateur actors put on creditable little plays and get more fun out of the rehearsals and entertainments than~they do out. of the thrilling and impossible scenes of the town movies. In every commu— nity there {should be legitimate and pleasing social joys, and opportunities for young and old to mingle together. . ,. Country, life lustenowl’is more strenu- but it pays to “zerature on‘ldowntosmcia‘ filo gym tree 1 “ ‘ ' of community life that it usedto be. Usually the.authorities will furnish theFfuel and the permission to use the school house, so about the only ex- pense Will be the light which should be adequate and bright. ' Nothing so discourages young folks as a dim, smoky’atmosphere. Even a soft, sub- dued candle glow is superior'to smoky kerosene lamps, for there is some- thing harmonious and pleasing about candle light that coal oil can never attain. Flags, pictures and strictly rural decorations in the form of wheat, grasses, fruits and pumpkins in season, corn braided. in long strings, flowers and country oddities help make the social oceasions delightful and furnish employment for the young people. A victrola, a piano or even an organ will liven the meetings wonderfully, and so will other musical instruments brought in by the young folks. ' Home‘talent entertainments, and as much foreign help as can be secured will provide the literary part of the program, while the ladies will look 'out for the eats and the young people the games. The men will have to provide . the little bit of money for the under- taking and all will have to pull togeth- er to keep out frictions and make ~the activities so democratic and so inclu- sive as to take in tenant farmer and owner, rich and poor, old-and young and even the stranger Within the gates. Then the littleold school house will renew its youth and possibly be re- tained as a local club house, even afr ter no more schobl sessions are held in it and all the rural pupils are gath- ered into the new and. modern build- ings that rise stately and beautiful in so many country communities nowa- days. :- FOLK soncs FOR CHILDREN.

The book is by Carl Van Doren, literary editor of The Nation, and editor of the Cam- bridge History of American Literature. . Starting with the first American novel, “The \Power of Sympathy,” which was published in Boston .in 1789 bygsara' Wentworth Marten,» Mr. Van, Daren , £- , traces the growth of this form of: \ .‘n‘ ~ . ~ .._ -.._. “an..." 00.71101: to mention Zane Grey’s million copies a «year sales,.it-‘is almost impos- sible to believe that less than a cen- tury ago novels were decidedly bad. form. Even the critics, to quote Mr. Van Doren; declared that novels were , lies, served no virtuous purpose and softened sturdy' minds. With all the old. Puritan standards to overcome, it- is little short of a miracle that today- the novel should be almost the only book to be‘found in many homes. d,‘-iraroinise11~wught's 7,‘250,-' . Mr.- Van‘ Der-en hails James Fanni- more Cooper as the first American novelist of unquestioned rank, and the “The Spy," published in 1821, as the book which showed that American fic- tion had “come of age.” Hawthorne was the first American to regard liter- ature as a work of dedication, demand- ing the finest a man could give. Mark Twain he regards as a partially frus- trated genius. The romances of the nineties brought out no masterpieces, hasays. \ I’Women at Farmers’ Week ' OME economics workers at the Michigan Agricultural College are preparing to entertain over- flow crowds of women during Farm- ers’ Week. The morning meetings are to be held in the People’s Church on Grand Avenue, opposite the Campus, this year, instead of in the women’s building.» A departure in the usual ' method of conducting these meetings is to be made. Only one speaker will be heard during the morning, which will give time for‘q'uestions and con- nferences after the talk. ‘ Demonstrations'will be given during the afternoon from 3:30 until 5:00 o’clock, first by Miss Mariel Hopkins, . nutrition. specialist of the extension department, and Miss Rebekah Gib- bons, of the home economics depart- ment, on nutrition, the demonstration to be illustrated by groups of rats which have been living on differing diets. ‘Miss Garrison will demonstrate millinery, Miss Anna Bayha, clothing for small boys and girls, Miss—Marion Tucker, clothing’ for high school girls, and Glenn Stewart, meat canning.

HE much heralded moth-proof red v . cedar chest is effective only if care has been taken to properly beat and brush all articles to remove all eggs, pupae and moths, according to findings of the United States Department of Agriculture. The moth passes through four stages, egg, pupa, worm and adult moth miller. There is only one stage in this process when the cedar chest kills them, that is in the young worm stage. Worms one-half to full grown are not killed. It is the odor of the cedar which kills these worms, so great care 'should be taken to prevent its escape. Chests should be kept tightly closed except when clothing is to be put in, and this should be done quickly. ' Naphthalene in any ordinary chest- will also drive away moths. One to two pounds of naphthalene placed inn any chest constructed as tightly as a cedar chest will be as effectiVe as ced- ar. Clothing may also be cleaned and brushed and rolled up immediately with naphthalene in several thickness- es of unbroken paper. Double the ends, So no moths can crawl in, and fasten securely. FASTENING CUT cnocn ET. To prevent crochet lace from ravel- ing after it is cut, catch up all 'the stitches with a thread of contrasting color, taking care not to twist .the stitch. Then with hook and thread matching the lace, work in single cro- chet across the cut end, catching the hook through every stitch. Fasten the thread neatly, and draw out the col- ored thread. TO FlNlSH DOICY EDGE. Instead of working the scallops be- fore they are cut, take sharp scissors and cut around just. outside the line of scallops; turn the edge under, baste down with short stitches, and then but- tonhole the scallops thus prepared. Or you can work double crochetaround 'the seallops. This gives a neat edge which will not pull out when laundered. SHORT CUTS. When washing light-colored goods use one of the milder soaps contain- ing no, free alkali. The s'oap should always be shaved and dissolved in boiling water, using about one-eighth of a cake to each gallon of water. A little household ammonia will whiten the clothes and loosen the dirt—M.

HXLLSDALE ROBE & TANNING CO. Hill-dale, Mich. Our Boys and Girl‘s’pepartment : F \ HE introduction of ‘county agri- cultural agent work into Baraga ' ; county in the spring of 1918, op- ened up a new era for the boys and girls. of that county, for with county agent work came club work, which has a hold on many a" rural boy and girl of Baraga county. . One of these boys is Theodore Jar- vinen, of Keweenaw Bay. Theodore, at the start, as a member of a garden club, was one of the sturdiest and staunchest exponents of club work. During the summers of 1918 and 1919, he had to content himself with the spring of 1920, under the tutelage of Mr. L, V. Benjamin, Theodore and six-other former garden club members garden and potato club work. But in. arriving at home from Chatham, when he informed his father, who at that time was section foreman for the Min- eral Range Railroad, that he had been successful in adding another pig to his pig farm. ‘ Theodore’s success spurred the in- terest Of Mr. Jarvinen, and it was not IOng before he backed his boy by pur- chasing a pure-bred Duroc-Jersey boar. In the spring of 1921, Theodore, back- ed by his father, was the proud owner of a pure-bred Duroc-Jersey boar and two pure-bred sows, one with a litter of nine pigs, .and the other eight—in all, twenty pure-bred animals. Not satisfied with this accomplish- ment, Theodore wanted to go on. He decided to organize a pure-bred Duroc Jersey Pig Club. With the assistance of Mr. H. R. Gladden, a banker in Bar- aga, the boys were able to procure for themselves an eight-week- old sow pig. Then” began the real work of making their pig club a success. Each boy in addition to taking care of his pig, pro- duced one-quarter of an acre of Green Mountain potatoes. With the money received from their potatoes they were to pay for the loan procured from Mr. Gladden. Regular meetings of the pig club iwere held fer the purpose of‘getting ‘the best possible results, because it was the first attempt to any party in that community to raise pure-bred pigs and the boys wanted to demonstrate that their proposition was fully worth while. ' One of the feature meetings of the summer was when Mr. Benjamin piled the club into his “Lizzie” and announc- ed that they were to entrain for the farm of Mr. William Rice, of H‘bugh- ton, Michigan. At Mr. Rice’s farm, the boys received instructions in judging dairy cows, pigs and sheep. This visit was made for the purpose of determin- ing whether the members of the club would be interested in sending a team to represent Baraga county to the live stock judging contest, held at Chat- ham, Michigan, in connection with the Upper Peninsula Farmers’ Roundup. Needless to say, the club was unani- mous in saying, “You bet.” 'So in the ‘summer of 1920, Baraga county was represented by Kauno Moilanen, Theo- dore Stenson and Theodore Jairvinen. The team won third honors, Theodore Jarvinen was judge/of, hogs, and won the pure-bred Duroc-Jers‘ey’sow pig, as an individual prize. ’ , m: - ' " proclaimed the ,best- 'r. ’2' Theodore Jarvinen and the'Pig that Got His Father Interested in Farming. enrolled'as a member of the Kewee— naw Bay Garden, Potatd and Sow and Litter Club. He also had just complet- ed the, handicraft project at his school and captured second honors Then, one day, Mr. Benjamin men- tioned calf club work to the boys, and] not long after he received a letter from Theodore asking him if he could ar- range with Mr. Gladden at the Baraga bank for a loan so that he could pur- chase a purebred Guernsey calf. Mr. Gladden was only too willing to ~ abide by the boy’s wish, because Theo- dore had more than made good on his pig club loan. Mr. Benjamin then pur- chased a. pure-bred Guernsey, which made Theodore Jarvinen, a-boy of thir- teen, a proud owner of twenty-one pure-bred animals, a record, Mr. Ben- jamin said, which could not be beaten 'by many farmers in Baraga county. Then to make things better for The- odore and everyone else concerned, Mr. Jarvinen gave up his position as. section foreman and purchased a fifty- eight acre farm, and today boy and father are working together, and are more than interested in applying the best methods and ideas to their little farm. - I . This little pig club not only helped Theodore and Mr. Jarvinen, but it aroused interest among many other in- dividuals in the community, for Mr. Benjamin has been able to place a pure-bred 'Guernsey bull and several‘ pure-bred Guernsey females right into the com unity, to. say nothing of the pigs that were distributed “from the lit- ters owned by the boys. 80 the little saying, “To make the boys better, giver'them better agricul: ture,” seems to do a little more, for it a is. opening 8W” .@*‘er-'1!¢e — really. 1 Club Work Starts Family Farming ' .T/zéoa’ore famz'flen’s Success Gets His Fat/2.97” Interestéd fast developing agriculture of the up- per peninsula. ” ASAGINAW COUNTY BOYS AT SHOW. MEMBERS‘of the‘Saginaw County Boys’ Stock-judging Clubs, who won a free trip to the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, No- vember 25 to December 1, inclusive, motored ,»to Lansing and joined the party from other parts of the state, led by R. A.’ Turner, state club leader. Those, attending from Saginaw county were: Ralph Nowak, of Burt; Joseph Bishop, Maple Grove township; Glen Livermore, Reno, Mich., all of whom won highest honors in the annual stock judging contest at the Saginaw County ~ Fair. Miss Louise .Weisemberger, a - member of the Springbrook Canning Club, whose exhibits of 570 quarts of canned fruit at the fair won for her the Chicago trip, accompanied the party. - ' This is the third annual live stock exposition arranged by the national committee on Boys’ and Girls’ Club work. H. C. Wallace, secretary of ag- riculture, was a guest of honor at the exposition, and a. number of other members of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture were listed as speakers. ' Grain exhibits and live stock from Saginaw county were among the Mich- ‘ igan exhibits that won prizes at the exposition. Michigan Rosen rye won twenty-five premiums, practically all the prizes that were offered for that variety. _ Michigan soft winter wheat won three good prizes. The Prairie Farm, managed by Jacob DeGeus, oil Alicia, captured prizes on Belgian horses. Saginaw county had a number of. corn exhibits of high class at the exposition made up from the prize-win- ning corn that was exhibited at the county fair by Douglas V. Bow, of Kochville township; A'.

He had become such a vast moral force in the land that his voice was above the strident voices and the conflicting forces of the times. As in- tensely hated as he was ardently loved, he made an ineffaceable impression on American life. He was not perfect, like the rest of mankind. He made mistakes, he was hasty of temper and sometimes was guilty of very harsh judgments. But he loved righteousness, and he raised the whole level of American politics, during the seven years of his pres- idential term. One day, while still a very young man, he‘went to the pastor of the Dutch Reformed church in N e w York where he at- tended, and said, “Pastor, I believe what you are preach- ing, and I would like to unite with the church.” To the church he was always “loyal, attending it regularly throughout life. After retirement, and he was liv- ing at Oyster Bay, he was an officer in the Episcopalian church, which is, I understand, the only church in town. ATE in life he wrote his nine rea- sons for going to church. They are almost as famous as President Wil; son’s “fourteen points.” Here they are: “1. In this actual world, a church- less community, a community where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious creeds, is a community on the rapid down grade. 2. Church work and church attendance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling some responsibility for others. 3. There are enough hOIidays for most of us. Sundays differ from other holi- days in the fact that there are fifty- two of them every year. Therefore, on Sundays" go to church. 4. Yes, I know all the excuses. I know that one can worship the creator in a grove of trees, or by a running brOok, or in a man’s own house just as well as in a church. But I also know, as a matter of cold fact, the average man does not thus worship. 5. He may not hear a good sermon at church. He will hear a sermon by a good man who, with his Wife, is engaged all the week in mak- ing hard'lives a little easier. 6. He will listen to and take part in reading some beautiful passages from the Bible. If not familiar with the Bible, he has suffered av-loss. 7. He will take part in singing some“ good hymns. 8. He will meet and nod or speak to good, quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a little more charitable toward ’all the. world, even toward those‘exccs- sively foolish young men who regard ‘church going a soft performance. 9. I advocate a man’s joining a church for the sake of showing hissfaith by his works." Roosevelt’s favorite Scripture verse was, “He hath’showed thee 9 man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with thy G0d ‘2” “I have a horror,” he says, “of the people who bark but don’t bite.

These peo- ple were Roosevelt’s enemies, and it was an honor to him to have so choice a string of haters. “Woe unto you when all men speak well of you." This was apparent when he opposed, as a young man, the nomination of Blaine for president, when he would not visit Boss Cox at Cincinnati, and when he forced Kaiser Wilhelm to arbitrate the Venezuelan affair. > Mrs. Robinson, the colonel’s sister, has within a few weeks put a book on the market, “My Brother, vTheodore Roosevelt.” It is full of interesting material from an intimate personal viewpoint. She says that she was in Porto Rico while her brother was in the White House, and discovered that a certain official there was utterly unfit for office. She was given abundant proofs of this by the governor of Porto Rico. On returning, she laid the facts before the president. “Have you proof of this?” he demanded. The proofs were laid before him. “This is a very serious matter. I have got to be sure “of the correctness of these statements. A man’s whole’future hangs on my de- cision." But there was no evading the facts. With a stroke of the pen be erased the man’s name forever from official connection with the United States government. HE sorrow of Roosevelt’s life came toward its close. It was two-fold. First, he was not allowed to go to France as a volunteer, or in any capa- city. Second, the death of his son, Quentin, in the flying corps. He was very critical of: Mr. Wilson’s adminis- tration. Articles poured from his pen that spilled their wrath on the admin- isitration, then in power. This was not personal vindictiveness or hatred of the other party as such. He felt that America was not taking the part she should in the great struggle for the rights of humanity. He did not believe in the Leaguewof Nations, or in any league of that kind. He felt that it would accomplish nothing. He said, “I frequently meet one of those nice gentry in whom softness of heart has spread to the head, who say: ‘How can we guaranty that everybody will love one another at the end of the war?’ The first step in guaranteeing it is to knock Germany out!” Perhaps he was right about “knocking Germany out.” But it is pretty generally felt now, I think, that Roosevelt was be- th hind his age in not‘believing in any methods of a non-military nature fer preserving the peace of the world. The sentiment of the times is against him, on both sides of the ocean. One of the last letters written for publication slightly indicates, however; that he was beginning to look at the problem in a different way. President Roosevelt was an amazing man. One fact alone would mark him as extraordinary. He was the son of wealth, yet he was nev- er idle, and thbught and labored for the upbuilding of the moral forces of his time. He lived in a very large sense a sacrificial life. A few days be- fore his death he said, “I promised my- self that I would work up to the hilt until I was sixty, and I have done it.” How many other rich men can ‘say President Harding classes him with Lincoln and Washington. ____.,_ Alvy Hall worked for his uncle last year at threshing time.

Kirby ,HE ’recent poultry show at Grand Rapids placed emphasis on; both fancy and utility lines and the exhibition was of unusual interest to both commercial egg producers and There were many beautiful fowls in the~exhibjtion which were of excellent egg type. The birds that were shown as high egg producers were of good type for the breed. ‘ The idea of making the beautiful birds useful and the useful birds more beautiful will be more easily under- stood by all beginners that‘ attended the show. The winning Barred Rock pen from the M. A. C. egg-laying con- test was displayed. ’This pen produced ' a total of 1,041 eggs, or an average of 208 eggs each. The best layer, Lady Supreme, produced 264 eggs. , Miss Betty was second with 258 eggs. The birds in this contest pen seem- ed to be of excellent vigor, proving that they were able to stand the strain of high egg production when given the proper care. They were of good type. I heard several say that they would have liked to have seen the male bird that produced them. Another Barred Rock hen on. exhibition had a. trap- nest record of 257 eggs in ten months and twenty-seven days. Brief Show Notes. There were no Black Jersey Giants displayed. I heard one breeder say that he liked them but they were not a finished breed. He had seen several flocks and said they looked like Black? Langshans without the feathered legs. Two pair of White Swiss Mondaine pigeons attracted much attention. One pain brought their sqluabs along and were giving the youngsters plenty of crowd. They are a beautiful breed and very large and worth considering by the farm boy who can devote a little time to squab raising. At the American Poultry Association meeting the breeders were told that an egg laying contest for Michigan is practically assured. An effort was also made to gain sentiment for bringing the National A. P. A. meeting to Mich- an in .1923. It was not possible to nd out whether either the Detroit or Grand Rapids Associations feel able to raise enough money and give enough time to the cause to obtain the meet- ing. ' Mr. Foreman moved that in future shows all birds be judged by standard and utility qualifications. As the writ- er understands it, a breeder can enter birds in either class and can have his birds judged in both classes if he Wish- es to do so. He reported that many birds entered in the show were good enough for any laying contest. .By a strong effort to combine utility quali- ties with good-looking birds it will be possible to prevent a break between standard and utility breeders and the two lines will slowly unite._ A. P. A. Meet at Show. Mr. Edward Hayes, the national or- ganizer for the American Poultry As- sociation reported that the shows throughout the country are bigger and better than ever. The new plan is to have two dollar annual memberships instead of life memberships and organ- ize the association from the bottom up instead of the top down. The man who joins is a member first of his local, then his state association and then his national association. This plan will ~OH,‘ 5’.;\:f ‘.P... "0'“ ul‘u ‘ _ 1"“ 4- . in spite of the‘ .g— ' permit the sending of delegates .to the " ’ national convention‘ instead of "Only a few of the most prosperous breeders who can afford to pay all their own expenses. The new membership plan will give the association money to advertise the value of poultryand eggs for food in the same way that dairy products have recently been advertised. A new Stand- ard will be issued next year and it is desired that the different breed spe~ cialty clubs state just what is wanted in that Standard. One value of the A. P. A. to the farm poultry keeper is shown by the fact that the activities of the association helped to obtain a tariff on eggs of - eight cents per dozen soon after the importation of Chinese eggs helped to cause the great break in .the egg mar- ket last spring. _ “ Among .the very interesting exhibits was the $500 prize Leghorn male which won first at the New York show. Sev- eral fine Leghorn cockerels were given the freedom of the Coliseum and show- e'd visitors _that even Leghoms do not need, to be wild and difficult to handle , if their temperament'is properly de-/ veloped by careful management.

If money were sent across the ocean to the depleted nations there they "would be able to reorganize their busi- ness and put themselves on an eco- nomic basis sound enough to permit of a freer buying of materials on the market. “America, now the creditor nation of the world, is missing her best opportunity by not giving credit to the eastern nations at once,” said Mr. Low- den. One of the great needs of» the pres- ent time, as pointed out by Mr. Low- d'en, is a greater knowledge or mar- kets, both on the part of the producer and the consumer. It was shown that if this education cannot come quickly as is probably the..case, then the farm- ers with effectual organizations should hire the best men in the country to study their economic problems and lead them in marketing their crops and solving their live stock products so. that they would secure the best price possible/ An instance of poor ’management on the part of a man in charge of a large amount of Wool was given by Mr. Fawcett, whose speech, has been mentioned above. He told of the financial pressure which was brought to bear on this inexperienced ‘ wool man so that he thought that he was compelled to sell his fleeces. Im- mediately after he sold, the price of wool mounted several cents and the manipulator was able to reap a. hand-‘ some profit. Many constructive ideas and much enlightening data was given out by speakers before the different sectional meetings where men interested in the various individual breeds segregated themselves for a discussion of their own particular problem. Professor. Kayes, of the Ohio State University, gave an interesting report on present tendencies in the problem of the horse vs. gasoline-propelled machines, before the meeting of Michigan Horse Breed- ers which took place before the gen- eral meeting. He gave data showing that the horse is coming back in the i United States and in some places is forcing out the trucks entirely on short I hauls. Jacob DeGeus, of Alicia, one of the state’s [most prominent breeders of Belgian horses, éntreated the breeders assembled to produce bigger and bet- ter animals. His observation of the Chicago draft horse market, one of the centers Controlling price tendencies, is furnished with animals as light as 1,300 pounds and the consequence is that they bring a lower price than a. draft horse of the proper weight should bring. Bigger and better animals can be produced, Mr. DeGeus told the horse meal? the breeder will mate his mares wisely and keep on‘doing so until he has produced the type that is his ideal. W. M. McFadden, 'of Chicago, in a talk before one of the general meet— in s gave out considerable information of especial interest to the swine grow- er. “When a fine, tender, well-cooked pork chop is placed on'your plate, just remember that it represents one of the greatest live stock achievements of this country; said Mr. proving ‘this he pointed out that the pork type hog is absoluter an Ameri- can production, that the needs of the country demanded that meat be pro- duced more efficiently than the bacon hog from England could. do and out of this need the breeders have devel- oped the large, rounded swine of today which produce such an abundance of flesh and fat in a short time.

When the ground is not covered with snow it is a good plan to allow the owes the run of apasture'fleld. Whileithe' ewes ’- will not obtaili a“ great deal of feed from the pastures they enjoy roaming about and in so doing take a great deal of exercise that assists ..in keeping them in a healthy condition. Experi- enced flock owners know that exercise . stimulates appetite, assists digestion, insures greater prepotency and strong-- or and more vigorous lambs at lambing time. The ewes should not be allowed to become overfat or run down on flesh condition. Weak puny lambs and in- sufficient nourishment at lambing time are generally the results of improper feeding." The ideal winter roughage is good clover hay or alfalfa. Well- cured corn fodder is second in value. Bean pods are also excellent. Oat and barley Straw may be fed once daily to help out. When I have. plefify of clo- ver hay I like to feed hay twice daily. I think: clover hay saves enough grain ' to keep the ration cost at the mini- mum. Corn silage is an excellent suc- culent feed during the winter months. I have fed ensilage once 01' twice daily as a part of the roughage ration with the best resul}s. The grain ration should be light dur- ing the Winter months. This ration may be compounded from two part oats, one part corn and a liberal amount of bran. When good clover hay is fed daily less grain is required, but at least one-fourth to one half pound: should be allowed each ewe. “The ewes at this time require food that will supply nourishment for .the unborn lambs. gun111mmnnlnnnulunnuumnnnnnnlnnnnnmnnlmnnlnn Veterlnary.’ CONDUCTED BY DR.

Failure to Come in Heat—Our cow has failed to come in heat; she came fresh in May, 1921. Three years ago you prescribed for a similar case; the remedy did good work, but I have lost the formula. E. H., Beaverton, Mich. ~—The best remedy is Yohimoine hy- drochloride, but it is very expensive. Give one dram of fluid extract of nux vomica, two drama of fluid extract of capsicum and one ounce of powdered licorica in feed two or three times a day. Keep her warm and feed plenty of grain. Indigestion. —I have a cow that was fresh seven weeks ago. About two weeks ago she broke into feeding room and ate about half a bushel of buck- wheat grain and a. little oil meal. She at once dropped from 45 pounds of milk per day to thirty pounds per day. She is now giving 32 to 34 pounds per day, but 34 pounds seems to be the limit. Her bowels have never failed to move quite regularly. She eats well and appears to be in pretty good health, but there seems to be a con- tinual rumbling in her bowels (is this a symptom of indigestion)? I gave her a. dose of salts a few days after eating the grain, which did not seem to do much good. I am feeding corn and oats ground, equal parts by weight,a little bran and a small amount of oil meal. I mix this fee with warm wa- ter and feed as a. i felt slop. For roughage I feed alfalfa hay and corn stover. ever an animal overeats, you Should promptly give a. full dose of cathartic- medicine which will invariably prevent any serious future trouble... 2011 were too late in giving the salts. that m ‘2, ' Feed less cornmeal, iv char roots. lit?

This Committee is taking .two men from the Michigan Agricultural College with them. One man being a » bacteriologist and the other a man who is well posted on dairy plant equipment. This organization is to be congratu- lated upon the personnel of their board of directors, five of them being farmers living on their farms and four men owning large dairy farms and living in the ‘city of Lansing. Among these directors are such business men and farm owners as Samuel Young, repre- sentative, Edward Ramsey, Mr. B. S. Gier, the head of the Gier Press Steel Company, and a leading financier of Lansing, and Mr. Richard Scott, gen- eral manager of the Rec Automobile Company. These men are devoting considerable time to the building of this organization and ’will continue to lend their business experience to aid in the operation of this plant after the , distributing of milk is started to its customers. This association is being organized on one of the best cooperative 111193 possible. They'have compelled each man who wishes to buy stock and fur- nish milk to the company to purchase one share of stock 'at $40 for every cow he wishes to milk. Thus one share of stock carries with it the privilege of disposing of the milk of one cow to this organization. The largest amount of stock any farmer can buy is $2,000 worth, ,and the minimum is $80. Any man who has purchased two shares has one vote, the same as the man who has purchased $2,000 worth of stock. The money invest-ed by the stockhold- ers of this organization carries a six per cent interest rate or dividend. All other moneys above the actual cost of operating the plant will be returned to the producer in the pl‘iCe paid for his milk. This plan is the only one which 18 purely cooperative on a stock basis. There is an unfair element in a com- pany operating on a straight stock plan where all profits or surplus are paid to the stockholders on a basis or the amount of stock they own. The writer feels that farmers going Into a company for the sale of their produce should always insist on the cooperative plan, otherwise the farmer who produces the largest amount of milk and contributes the most business to the organization from which they make their surplus might own a very small amount of stock and he would therefore receive only dividends on the amount of stock which he owns. On the other hand, some stockholder, own- ing large blocks of stock, may not pro- . du‘ce anything for the organization, but Would get the lion’s share of what his neighbors’ produce would provide. It seems that there, always is a very un- fair element in straight stock compa- nies for farmers’ organizations. This Lansing organization has for. its aim the best milk supply that is possible 'to be had by any milk organ- ization. They expect to build- a hard surface, while tile building, which is the latest thing in sanitary construc- tion. Their machinery will be of the type that will insure milk with no ac- tive bacteria in it and a product that will satisfy their customers. This com-' pany has realized that farmers’ organ- izations can only exist and flourish up- on a system' of quality production and square dealing, knowing that the fu- ture of any” farmers’ organization lies upon these two elements. TheSe men are heading the organization in the rigfit‘direction. A site for their milk plan will be selected in the very near future and building operations commenced, with distribution of milk to be started as car as, possible sexism. overprok the slightest unhealthy cm. of every cow. a. profit the year ’round. \\“ \\\‘“‘§:E 3.11..

WHEAT Although the demand for wheat from mills failed to show the urgency ex- pected after the first of the year there is an apparent increase in the quantity which mills are absorbing. With mills buying more extensively, a scarcity of choice milling wheat has become ap- parent at Minneapolis although low grades are abundant. Receipts are small, only half as large as in the same period a year ago. In bond and the commercial visible supply in the United States and Canada, consists of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat in sight while about 25,000,000 bushels more are held at mills and in country ele- vators. This quantity is so large that advances in price are soon checked by an increase in the quantity offered for sale even though primary receipts are not large. CORN . The movement of corn to primary markets increased sharply last week and is averaging over 1,600,000 bushels per day. The industrial demand has been gratifying with Germany and Hol- land free buyers of starch. Demand from the eastern consuming sections has broadened and nearly 7,000,000 bushels already have been bought for Russian relief. The advance in ocean freight rates has retarded the export sales to other European countries but moderate quantities are being taken and day to day clearances are heavy. 'The visible supply of corn is increas ing from week to week but this is normalduring the winter months. Pro- duCers in Iowa and Illinois are holding for around forty'cents or above, al- though some of them are willing to let goat lower figures. OATS Although the domestic demand for bats has improved noticeably and the Visible supply is beginning to decrease the latter is still entirely too large to allow the oats market to chart a course independent of corn. Primary receipts are holding up better than anticipated. Sales to the south which have grown _materially are being filled mostly from interior points so that ecuntry elevator * stocks. are being reduced. Later on, ‘ 1 the supply at terminals will be drawn upon mbre extensiVely. . , @118; No. 1 clover size of the crop is counterbalanced/by the fact that prices are now high com- pared with the purchasing power of farmers and Europe is sending seed this way in spite of a small crop over there. The discount on alsike is de- creasing. Timothy seed prices are 9.10le creeping upward. FEEDS Slight weakness has been present in feed markets although ’prices are only slightly lower. The movement of flour .has increased to some extent which undermines the position of millfeeds. Larger cotton oil mill operations and, inactivity of exporters have weakened the cottonseed meal market. No rad- ical changes in values are expected. HAY Thus far, lower freight rates have not increased hay loadings in the sur- plus sections while demand appears to have imprOved and prices are actually higher than late in December at most of' the distributing markets in the east and middlewest. Heavier country load- ings for Chicago have unsettled that market. . POULTRY AND EGGS The decline in the egg market reach- ed its climax early last week when fresh eggs were quoted below thirty cents at Chicago. Drastic declines oc- curred at other points. Another spell of cold weather turned the market sharply upward again but its future course is uncertain. Cheap feeds and favorable weather undoubtedly have stimulated production and it is possi- ble that it is being overdone. Consump- tion is heavy. In spite‘ef heavy fresh receipts during the month, cold stor. age holdings decreased 1,499,000 cases in December compared with a five-year average December decrease of 1,484,- 000 ‘cases. BUTTER The-slump in butter markets was stopped, but prices finished lower than a week ago. Arrivals of fresh butter were liberal, but buyers’ stocks had been depleted by no buying during the extended decline. Buyers became anx- ious to l'eDunu their reserves and ‘de mand for all grades improved. The surplus of fancy butter entirely disap peared. Whether the recent break has fully discounted all the bearish factors is a question. Prices of fresh 92-score butter were: Chicago 34%0; New York 371/2c. In Detroit fresh creamery is quoted at 31@3‘20. - BEANS Wholesale growers increased their purchases" of beans slightly after the first of the year. The Russian Relief organization also is buying a small quantity. Since producers are not sell- ing freely, the increased demand has tightened up the market which is now quoted at $4.45 per 100 pounds f. o. b. ’Michigan shipping points for choice hand-picked stock. Colored beans have been persistently weak and are quoted around $5.50 and in some cases down to $5.35. The outlook is for higher prices on white beans and a quieter market on kidney beans. Speculative buying is noted in CalifOrnia which is quoted around five cents a pound. The Michigan beans are half a cent cheap- er than' any other section and demand from all quarters except where freight rates are prohibitive .is centered upon that state. POTATOES Shipments from the potato produc- ing sections have. increased since the first of the year. Prices held up and eeven advanced for a time but finally weakened. Northern round whites are quoted at $1.70@1.90 f. o. b. Consum- ing markets are quoted at a range of $1.95@2.35 for sacked round whites, eastern cities being about 250 higher than Chicago. Seed potatoes are quot- ed at $3 per 100 pounds for Bliss, Tri- umphs, f. o. b. Minnesota points. ‘ WOOL The‘advance in the wool market is still unchecked. Sales in London, Ant- werp and various points in Australia and New Zealand were at higher pric- es than the preceding auctions so that the loss early in December has been recovered. Some American buying has been in evidence especially at London. Live StockMarket Service I Wednesday, January 18. DETROIT Cattle. Receipts 593. Market opens steady, closing slow.

Tyler, who was recently injured in an interurban wreck. We endorse the efficient work being done by the Bureau of Animal Indus- try of the Department of Agriculture and the federal authorities in the'erad- ication of tuberculosis from Michigan cattle, and commend the action of the administrative board in ordering that funds forjndemnity be drawn from the general fund for the, continuation of this work. Whereas, wool and sugar are the two great farm products of which the home supplies are insufficient in the United States, thus requiring large im- portations, and whereas the state of Michigan can increase the produdtibn of wool and sugar without dislocation of other industries: -. . We, therefore, ask for adequate pro- tection which will allow this state’s production to develop its maximum and aid in restoring industry and pros- perity and we pledge our support to the Hon. James W. Fordney, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives in his farm p ucts. We ask congress to speedily enact the French-Capper bill compelling shoddy products to be labeled,“ which will .enable the wearer of clothes to know whether his suit. is of new wool or adulterated with shoddy. \ ' Qfficers for 1922.

It is well nigh impossible to tell in any article just how this rack is made, but you could afford to drive several miles to some farm where they make 'a business of fattening lambs in the winter time and ‘in almost every barn you will find this. sort of a sheep rack and you can easily see how it is made. . BALANCING A RATION. What feeds should I buy to make up a balanced ration for our cows? We have poor timothy hay,.good silage, ear corn and oats, and what are the proportions for mixing?——-E. H. G. Poor timothy hay and silage are very deficient in protein and so you must furnish a food in the concentrated or grain ration rich enough in protein to supply this deficiency in your rough- age. I would recommend cottonseed meal but I would not feed to exceed two pounds of it per day to each cow ‘and I would prefer to‘feed a pound’ night and morning sprinkled on the ensilage. You do not say that you wish to feed corn-and-cob meal but if you grind your ear corn, cob and all, I would mix it, one part of this to two parts of oats, but if you shell the corn and grind it then I would mix it equal parts, corn and oats, and I would mix this with wheat bran, equal parts by weight. Bran is rich in protein, so also is your cottonseed meal. _Feed the cows the two pounds or cottonseed meal and enough of the corn meal, oats and bran so that each cow will_ receive one pound per day for every three pounds of milk she produces in the milk is four and a half or five per cent. If it is below that then feed one pound for every four pounds of milk produced. * SURFACE WATERS. The highway commissioner has put in a tile across the highway; south land owner has tiled a large field of thirty or forty acres across highway; southwest another land owner has tiled his farm of about sixty acres on high- way; another land owner northwest drains in on highway and another land owner on the east drains in on high- way. These drains flood half of a nine- acre field that I own. Some of them could drain in Sulphur Creek just a very short distance away. I called the district highway commissioner’s atten- tion, but he answered that he had nothing to do with opening the ditches. I also went to the township drain com- missioner and he said that he could do nothing. What are the rights of a land owner so flooded?~—F. A. M. The highway commissioner and the " township he represents have no more right to collect surface water and cast it on a neighbor than anyone else. The remedy of the injured party is injunc- tion to stop casting the water on him, action for damages, abatement of the nuisance himself by damming the wa- ter out, or petition for the opening of a public drain, whichever he likes the best—J. R. R. WATERPROOFING CEMENT WALLS. ‘ ,I have a cement block barn that is rather damp in the winter. Would it help it to paint it on the outside?— If the dampness in the barn base- ment is caused by moisture coming through the wall, which is possible, one or two coats of cream cement ap- p'ied with a brush will waterproof the wall.
