CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





 





 





 





Too many farm homes are places of

business and nothing more.





Community development may be

measured in neighborhood get-together

cmeetings.





Good advertising of good goods is

pulling some farmers out of difficult

places.





Be it known that Michigan is near-

est to being a self-sustaining state of

any in the Union.





The country church will serve most

when identified closest with the every-

day life of the community.





Live community clubs bring their

members inepiration and encourage-

ment.





Reading makes better farmers—

hence the need for more and larger

rural libraries.





LONG step to-





Peace ward the realiza-





tion of permanent

and peace and consequent

Prosperity prosperity by the ad-





vanced nations of the

world has been taken in the results of

the disarmament conference which has

lately completed its work at Washing-

ton. It but remains for the treaties

growing out of the conference to be

ratified to complete our part in this

'great movement, which is apparently

designed not only to bring about a

great reduction in naval armament and

consequent construction and mainte—

nance expense, but as well to create

a better understanding between the

great nations of the world and to estab-

lish among them the habit of settling

their differences in a peaceable man-

ner by gathering around the confer-

ence table for the recognition of right

rather than might as the basic princi-

ple of settlement.



Not the least of the many beneficial

results of the disarmament conference

may be said to be the development of

public sentiment for the peaceful set-

tlement of all national controversies in

all of the countries participating in its

deliberations. To the people of these

several countries the greater assur-

ance of permanent peace, which states-

men everywhere see as a result of this

conference, means a greater assurance

of the return of prosperity and plenty,

of which blessings war is the sure de-

stroyer.



.The outcome of this conference is a





. as to immediately applicable see





results and poSsible future benefits.





Apparently civilization is apprOaching'





a fork in the road of its progress, with

one branch leading to destruction and

the other to still greater achievement.

The outcome of this conference is an

indication that the choice may be for

advancement.





HERE is much





' discussion a n d

The. Road g r e a t difference of

Bw’d’ng opinion at the present





Program time regarding the

carrying out of the

road building program as previously

laid out in this state. A substantial

element of farm leaders have advocat-

ed the practical abandonment of the

state road building program for the

present as a means of reducing pres-

ent taxation and holding down the fu-

ture tax burden by abandoning the

sale of state bonds as a means of

financing road building projects. On

the other hand, state good roads offi-

cials and good roads enthusiasts ev-

erywhere favor going ahead with the

state program for road improvement

as mapped out, without regard for the

prevailing financial or business condi-

tions.



The advocates of these diametrically

opposite courses each have appealing

arguments in support of their conten-

tion. There is unquestionable need of

economy and retrenchment in the mat-

ter of taxation and in the piling up of

future tax burdens for posterity

through the continued sale of bonds

for the» making of public improve-

ments. On the other hand there are

strong arguments why the entire pro-

gram of road improvement should not

be summarily abandoned. One of the

strongest of these arguments lies in

the aid which is being extended for

state road improvement by the federal

government‘and the method of its ex-

tension. As in most other government

aid projects, this am is extended to

the several states on a cooperative

plan which provides for a duplication

of the federal funds by the states re-

ceiving them in the development of

cooperative enterprises. To this extent

at least we believe it is good business

for the state program of road building

to be continued as planned. But this

does not mean that a substantial cur-

tailment of highway projects would

not be a good thing under present con-

ditions. County .. projects and local

projects carried out under the Covert

Act and certain state projects in which

there is no federal cooperation may

well be carefully considered before be-

ing pushed to completion under pres-

ent circumstances. Obviously road im~

provement should not be abandoned.

but as with many other things, a “mid-

dle of the road” course may best con-

serve the interests of the people of the

state and its various minor municipal-

ities in the present emergency.





LARGE number



of professiongl

fruit growers and

horticultural students

of this and other

states are discourag-

ing the growing of fruit on the general

farm. This, no doubt, is resulting in

a substantial decrease in the consump-

tion of fruit on general farms and to

no small degree in the villages and

small towns once dependent upon the

farm orchards for their fruit supplies.

Inasmuch as fruit is essential to health

the question is one of no small con-

corn.



The reason for this attitude of the

commercial fruit man is that the av-

erage farmer is not in a position to

grow good fruit. Ordinarily he cannot

do this. Other farm dutieslare usually

ever, in analyzing the situation, it cpr

stage farm is found in. the spraying

season. ‘ The farmer can prune" the

trees and otherwise care for them and

can harvest the crop, but at spraying





time he is called upon to devote his,





time to other tasks. Not only this, but

to do the spraying well good machin-





. cry is necessary. The expense of pur-





chasing and maintaining this equip-

ment is discouraging to the man with

a comparatively few trees.



This weak spot is being overcome

through the organization of spraying

rings. These rings are conducted on

a cooperative basis and -‘ are proving

successful. A number of farmers with

orchards get together and form an or-

ganization. Through this organization

they secure the necessary spraying

equipment and hire a man to operate

it, or they secure someone to do the

work with his own rig. By this means

each farmer is enabled to get the ser-

vice of not only a good spraying outfit,

but also at a man who understands

the spraying business.



One county agent has organized two

of these rings. In one there are twelve

farmers and in the other thirteen. The

orchards in each ring are located with-

in a radius of three and a half miles.

Here are some of the results of last

year’s work. One man was charged

$18.55 for his share of the expense and

after supplying his home needs he sold

$280.59 worth of fruit. Another mem-

ber with a total expenditure of $24.39

for spraying, made sales outside of the

fruit kept for home consumption, or

Other members did equally as

well. At the end of the season the

members made a tour of all the or-

chards and to them it was thoroughly

demonstrated that it is possible for the





general farmer who gives the bulk of”





his time and attention to the produc-

tion of grain and forage crops and

live stock, to. grow good fruit on an

economical basis.





T is unexplainable





but the fact re-

thw f0, mains nevertheless,

t Best that in a general way

Market we have left to the





last a study and an-

alysis of our best market for farm

products. Much comment has been

made about opening up trade for Amer

ican agricultural goods in foreign coun-

tries and a great deal of effort has

been put forth to understand the de-

mand for, and supply of, the products

of the farm in our great centers of

population and in places far removed

from the point of production. But as

a great class of producers. we have

given comparatively little attention to

the supplying of the home market, ex-

cept in the distribution of those prod-

ucts which cannot be shipped to out-

side points.



To illustrate: A county agent in

Washington county, Maine, found upon

investigation among the retail dealers

of his county that from seventy-two

reports only forty-four per cent handle

native pork. thirty per cent handle

native poultry, and fifteen per cent

handle native lamb. This is true not-

withstanding the fact that all these

products can be produced economical-

ly and in sufficient quantities to care

for the home demand. He further

learned that most of the dealers han-

dle native butter and eggs, but they

could handle 1,190 pounds more of but-

ter and nearly 2,000 dozen more eggs

per week the year round than they are

now receiving.



An earnest study of the home mar-

ket in practically every county of

Michigan is certain to reveal situaé





tions similar to that mentioned above._





Although this state ranks third in the

production, of strawberries it barely

produces enough to give each person





within the state three ”and a half

enough live stock to keep our on





people supplied With most products

Although Michigan comes nearer to be- '





ing self-supporting agriculturally than

any other stats in the Union, her farm-

ers have a remarkable 'opportunity, be.

fore them for producing more of the

things which are wanted in nearby

towns and cities.



We have many men who {are con-.

vinCed of the oppOrtunities along this

line. In the development of the fancy

cheese production, for instance, the ex-

perience at Grove City, Pennsylvania,

and in other places indicates beyond

a doubt that the presenteonsuniption

of imported cheese is but a small frac-

tion of the possible consumption which

can easily be stimulated for this prod-

uct in every section of our country.

The logiCal and economical .place to

market our farm products is at the

nearest point of consumption. If this

study be faithfully pursued, it'will

-open the way for a heavy reduction in

the burdensome bills which farmers

are now paying to support our-rail-

ways. The prevailing idea that we

must seek a distant market can be

overcome by getting at the real facts.

Here is a live and worth-while job for

county agents and local students of.

marketing to tackle. '

A Flat Bottom Boat Carries One Engine and the Equipment for Loosening





 





the Marl From its Bed.





ECENTLY an interesting. story

appeared in these columns re-

garding one method of utilizing





_marl mining machinery as it was dem-





onstrated in Branch county. Farmers

in many other counties are anxious to

get marl \to spread on their lands, pro-

viding it is obtainable at no greater

distance than two to four miles, and

ma dry condition to handle.



One of the best outfits we have seen

for mining marl is that devised and

used by J. F. Games on the south end

of his farm and on‘the shore of Hyde

Lake in Newton t0wnship. The sys-

tem is practical, cost reasonable, and

with such, an outfit at work on the





shore of hundreds of lakes in as many ‘





townships, there are thousands of

farmers in southern Michigan who

could secure marl from a stock pile

near by at minimum of cost and labor.



The four accompanying illustrations

give one a. clear idea of how the

Carnes’ marl mining machinery works.

A large and wide flatboat has a gas

engine mounted on one end.





On the ‘





other end is fitted a gear and shafting

that operates a central and vertical re-

volving shaft.



This vertical shaft is contained in

a four-rod frame work about sixteen

feet” long and one foot in diameter.

The gear and connections provide for





‘the rise and fall of this frame as the





cutter at the lower end settles in the

marl bed under water.



The cutter looks somewhat like a

fan taken from the rear of a Ford rad-

iator, but, of course, is stronger and

heavier. The cutter with its housing

easily settles down into the marl. The

marl is mixed with the water, about

half and half, and. is conveyed through

a four-inch fire hose to any desired

point near by.



A centrifugal pump sucks in and ele-

vates the fifty-fifty mixture to any

height desired within reason. As the

illustrations show, the height of the

horizontal delivery spout maybe ele-

vated from time to timeas the marl

pile gets higher, as the mixture flows

by gravity to the top of the stock pile,





 





After the Water Enters the Bed the Marl which it Carries Quickly Settles

and the Surplus Water Frows Away.

which may be ten feet or twenty rods

distant, so that the stock pile of marl

may be on hard land and easily acces~

sible by wagon or truck after the

ground settles next spring.



The ease and quick operation of the

Carnes’ mining outfit is such that a

core of marl from ten to fourteen feet

or more can be cut down and sucked

in and elevated by the centrifugal

pump in less than two minutes. Each

one of these cores one foot in diameter

eventually delivers on the stock pile

over a cubic yard of marl.



This outfit can be operated summer

or winter and it was during the holi-

days that we took these pictures. Of

course, during severly cold weather

the machinery could not be in opera-

tion as the ice would bother too ,much.



The marl settles quickly on the top

of the stock pile and can be walked

over in a few hours. \Ve took one pic-

ture on top near the discharge pipe to

show how the marl was delivered and

the water drained off at the edge any-

where by means of short sections of





silo conveyor pipes or similar spouts.



The Calhoun County Farm Bureau

saw the possibilities of this marl min-

ing machinery, and County Agent R.

M. Roland, with Mr. Carnes, visited

some of the farmers in that section

after an inspection of the stock pile.

They quickly secured signed orders for

approximately one thousand cubic

yards of the marl. Hardly any of it

will be hauled more than four miles

away.



Being thus assured of a source of

marl, and also a demand for it, the

County Farm Bureau arranged to take

over this stock pile, and also to estab-

lish others as soon as Mr. Carnes can

get the machinery at work. The proj-

ect for this county will be complete

when there are sufficient marl stock





piles so that no member of the bureau





need drive farther than four miles for

his supply of marl.



Mr. Games has been working on this

system of mining marl for the past

seven years, and has the machinery

perfected for practical operation.

Reasons for the Agrichltural Bloc





By Airman” Capper of Me. If. S. Senate





RITICISM of the so—called agri-



cultural bloc in the present con—



gress as a “class group” has

come, so far as I have observed, from

class groups who fear recognition of

the primary national industry by the

government. These men in congress,

comprising about one hundred in the

house and some twenty-two in the sen-

ate, largely from the west and south,





. lwho know the needs of agriculture, are

» {acpused by representatives of other in-





 





crests of seeking class legislation for





speaks for itself. As. one who has

actively supported and advocated

these measures, I have no sympathy

with class legislation, and I need hard-

ly say that I see nothing of the evils

of class legislation in the agricultural

program.





It is trite to say that "agriculture





is the basis of our prosperity.” But

threadbare 'as the statement is, it has

needed repetition and emphasis. At

the base of all industry is the oldest

industry of the land itself. We may





say that until quite recent years we

»,regarded the farmer as valuable in

of; the wii fit;





as a 'prcduc





 





now equally considers him as pur-

chaser. He produces the raw material

for the factory and'he supports the

factory in his immense consumption of

finished products. Our entire busi-

ness structure rests upon the land.

The farmer not only feeds us and

clothes us, but is, as a class, our best

customer. Without him the railroads

would languish. The steel industry,

without the railroad demand for rails

and other. materials, and the demand

of the, harvester and farm implement

industries for steel, would perish.

Unless the tamer proSpers there can

be no prosperity of a single industry.



warts improve and stabilize





 





conditions surrounding this ultimate

industry of food production are of as

vital consequence to the city and to

business in general as to the farmer

himself.



Heretofore government aid to agri-

culture has consisted in the support

of agricultural colleges and experiment

stations, and the department of agri-

culture. Valuable as this serviCe has

been in promoting better farming, im-

proved seed, soil

stock, it has no relation to other and

increasingly pressing problems of/ the

farming industry which concern such





subjects as financial credit and mars? A

synthetical processes of industrialism,

“the centralization of control. the com-

bination of capital into great units.

In the immense development of the

division of labor in the factory sys-

tem and through the corporation. agri-

culture has been left by the wayside.

It remains as individualistic as a cen-

tury ago, when all industrialism was

individualistic. The farmer is the sole

survivor of an earlier industrial order.

. when the shoemaker made shoes on

‘ his knee in his shop, when domestic

industry flourished, and the household

spun its own wool and was sufficient

unto itself. With the development of

the factory system and the corpora-

tion, and the corresponding evolution

of credit and banking with relation to

these new forms, agriculture has been

overlooked. Farming is the only busi-

ness left that buys at retail and sells

at wholesale; that pays what is asked

when it buys, and accepts what is of-

fered when it sells. The farmer re—

mains merely a producer of the name

saries of human life. After he has

produced them other organizations

take them over at their own price for

distribution. This is true of no other

important industry. The producer

gets only one-third of every dollar

paid by the consumer for the products

of the farm. Our expensive and anti-

quated marketing system takes the

other two-thirds.





To Distribute Our Products.



The marketing and distributing

agencies, well supplied with credit,

closely afliliated and linked with the

highly organized industrial order, do

not, like the farmer, dump the farm-

er’s products, after they have passed

into their hands, at once upon a con-

gested market. Facilities have grown

up, the warehousing system, the ele-

‘ vator, the cold storage plan, the grain,

cotton, and other exchanges, that

nicely adjust supply to demand. and

the “middlemen" feed out the world’s

food supplies .as demand calk for them.

Just as these merchants hold and store

and distribute in accordance with de

mand for consumption, thereby obtain

ing what the products are fairly

worth during the entire year, so the

farmer is now proposing through

self-organization to dispose of his

products, to control elevators, ware-

houses, credit, to be represented on ex-

changes, to market his own products.

This is the first agricultural bloc aid

to the fainter, in the Volstead-Capper

bill authmizing farm cooperative mar-

keting.





 





Farmers Handicapped.



The farmer’s individualistic indus-

try, the single farm being the unit, not

the corporate aggregation of many

farms, is not adapted to the uses of

the modern corporation. What is

suited to agriculture (unless it is to

be taken over bodily by big business in

great trusts) is cooperation. There is

not an economist nor an authority on

agriculture who believes that the





method of the corporation will answer”





the needs of agriculture. Cooperation

differs from the corporation irf sev-

eral important features, but it is un-

necessary to mention more than that

in cooperation the amount of stock

shall be limited' to any one stock-

holder to the cooperative project, and

the stock dividends shall be limited

to a fixed rate having no relation to

the earnings, as in the corporation,

but having regard to the ruling rate





of interest for money or capital. Only

by these limitations can the farm mar-

keting enterprise be protected against

control by a few, and the vital co-

operative spirit maintained. ln co-





operation capital and labor are one.





The farmer supplies the capital and it

is he who turns out the product. The

ultimate earnings dividends are rated

not on the capital invested, but, on

the product contributed. This is true

cooperation.



Middlemen Object.



What the agricultural bloc discov-

ered is that existing “middlemen”

through their organizations are deter-

mined to prevent the rise of farm co-

operative marketing. Aspiring local

cooperative organizations of farmers

were attacked by these interests in

the courts for violation of the anti-

trust acts, and the cooperation was

obstructed and discouraged by these

and other measures.



Convinced that farm cooperation

is desirable, the last congress by an

amendment of the federal trade act

undertook to release it from any sus-

picion of attempted monopoly by ex-

empting combinations “not for profit”

from the scope of the anti-trust acts,

acts designed for wholly different

forms of organization. The amendment

proved ineffective, and the Volstead-

Capper bill now being pressed by the

agricultural bloc, authorizes and vali-

dates farm cooperation 'as such.



Leads World Per Man.



The American farmer leads the



world in production per man, but he





' forent products.





him right to market them collectively

This right is given by the bill: Mr.

J. D. Miller. representing the Na-

tional Milk Producers testified before

a commission of congress that it "will

do more for: the ultimate prosperity of





America's farmers than any other,





measure.” This nation stands alone

in the world in its inhibitions against

farm marketing cooperation. The

agricultural bloc is‘not asking special

class legislation for the farmer. but

merely the removal of legal obstruc-

tio'n to the farm cooperation and the

placing of the American farmer on the

same footing as his competitor in

every other country on the globe.

Danger of an agricultural monopoly

through cooperation is not seriously





urged, but only for political purposes





by special interests. Agricultural

monopoly through cooperation is im-

possible, because by the nature of the

cooperative enterprise it has been

found to be ineffective except by pro-

ducers on the same products locally

organized. Farm cooperation has not

been successful either in Europe or in

the United States where the members

are widely scattered, or where they

are engaged in the production of dif-

A universal agricul-

tural cooperative enterprise is utterly

impracticable and contrary to all 00-

operative experience.





Cooperation the Remedy.



But it is a sufficient defense of

farm marketing cooperation to say

that every economist who has made a

study of agricultural history and every

advisor, from so high an authority as

Secretary Hoover or Mr. Bernard

Baruch down, agrees that cooperation

is the remedy and the sole practical

remedy for his marketing losses. In

a recent interview Mr. Baruch said:



“I do not believe the farmer receives

A, whose farm fronts on a public-

road, sells B a strip one rod in width

along one side of his farm so that B

may have access to his farm which lies

back of A’s and is not touched by a

public road. The private road has cul-

tivated fields on each side of it belong-

ing to A and C. Who must fence the

private road?——B. S.



If the owner of the road does not

choose to enclose his road he is under

no obligation to fence it. If he does

enclose it he must maintain half of the

fence the same as any other land.

There is no duty to maintain fences on

any side of unenclosed lands—J. R. R.





 





MANURE AS REALTY.





 





When does manure become real es-

tate? A man on a rented farm fur-

nishes the feed for his stock from his

own farm. Has he the right to draw the

manure direct from the stable to his

own far1n‘?—W. H. B.



If the manure from feed brought

onto the place is mixed with that be-

longing to the place none can be re-

moved—J. R. R.





A DAIRY RATION.





 





I fed just pumpkins with coarse

feeds when I first put them up for the

. winter. Later I had some corn, ground

with cob, and fed in the cut pumpkin

. and the cows doubled on their milk.



I have some of these pumpkins left,

I For coarse feed I have

‘ constants, clover hay, timothy hay

» and marsh hay.——W- C. B.

The following grain mixture should

9. give good results with pumpkins,

“WET hay, fies figuring at least one.

good food otclmr hay per day: Corn





meal, 300 pounds; ground oats, 200





' pounds; linseed meal, 200 pounds; cot-





tonseed meal, 200 pounds. Feed one

pound of this mixture for each 'three

and onehalf or four pounds of Holstein

or Shorthorn milk produced daily, and

one pound to each two and one-half

pounds of Jersey mill: produced daily.





RECOVERY FOR IMPROVE" ENTS.





 





In 1311 I married a widow with two

children and she had a house and lot

in the city, but the deed was in her

first husband’s name. There was a

mortgage of $350 on the place and it

was very badly in need of repairs. I

paid the mortgage and spent about

$100 fo1 matelial to fix up the place

and did the work myself. The cost of

paint alone was $37. I want only what

I have put into it. As I have been sick

for about two years and have been to

the hospital twice for operations, I am

somewhat financially embarrassed.-

Now that my health is coming back, I

want to get the place I am living in

fixed up so I can make a living with-

out working in a factory. It is impos-

sible to work at present and I cannot

enduie laying around. If I had the

money I could buy mate1ial to do a

lot of work. ——A. J. F‘.



This seems to be a case of improve-

ments made on the property of a

stranger without his consent. The

house is apparently the property of

the heirs .of the former husband, who-

ever they are, including the widow as

one. But so far as the repairs on the

property of the widow are concerned,

A. J. F made them while she was his

wife, and the law will not imply any

promise on her part. It would seem

that A. J. E. has no remedy in the

courts. -





made on his property unless he has

contracted to pay for them. If one is

in possession of property and makes

improvements on it thinking the prop-

erty belongs to himself, a court of

equity will permit him to remove the

improvements if he can do so and

leave the property in as good condi-

tion as it was; or may allow him what

its increased value to the owner is——-

not what the improvement cost—J. R.





RAISING PIGS WITHOUT MILK.





 





Can pigs be successfme raised with-

out milk after being weaned? What

feed should they have?—M. L.





Pigs can most certainly be raised

successfully without milk. It is doubt-

ful if half the pigs raised in the corn

belt ever taste milk, other than their

mother’s. We have raised hundreds of

them without it. It is well, however,

to delay the weaning where skim-milk

is not available. A rich slop made of

middlings, ground oats and barley,

equal parts, with five per cent of tank-

age or oil meal mixed in water, and an

ear of corn apiece, would make a very

goodration. This fed liberally in a

creep where the older hogs can not

molest them will cause pigs to practi-

cally wean themselves at three months

of age, and will give them a start t0~

ward hoghood that will delight the

owner.——P. P. P.





 





HYDRATED LIME FOR ACID SOIL.





 





Is hydrated lime worth putting on

ground and how much would you apply





per acre to a light soil needing lime? _

——G. L





 





to use for agricultural purposes. The

new! application for light land ranges

from 1.200 to 1,800 pounds per acre.

Probdbly the greatest drawback to the

use of hydrated lime is the high price

per ton as compared to other forms of

agricultural limes—G. M. G.





convuOLLme'cANADA 11-11311. ES.





 





On a piece of ground there is some

Canada thistles, also a little quack

grass. It is light ground but we a1e

manuring it this spring. Would you

sow alfalfa? Does it grow good on

light soil?——J. G. S.





Seeding down to alfalfa is an effe0<

tive way of controlling Canada this-

tles. You can expect the thistles to

disappear in two or three years due to

the effect of the several cuttings given

the alfalfa each season and the crowd-

ing effect of the plants.



Alfalfa will do very well on light

land which has been limed and ma‘

nured. I would suggest an application

of two tons of finely ground limestone

on your soil in addition to the top

dressing of manure.





Seed northern-grown alfalfa seed,

preferably the Grimm variety. Ten-

pounds of Grimm seed is sufficient, or

fifteen pounds of northern-grown com-

mon. Seedas early as possible in the

spring or a firmly rolled seed-bed, us-

ing not more than one bushel of oats

as a companion crop. .



Culture for inoculation may be se-

cured from the Department of Beets

riology, East Lansing, Michigan, at

twenty-five cents per bottl9.

MEETING held in the Armory



at Bay City under the auspices

_ of the State Department of Ag-

riculture, drew a fair-sized audience

of farmers and citizens. “Home-grown





. Ifrosperity" was the subject of a high-





ly interesting talk by Mrs; Dora Stock-





.' man, of the State Boa-rd of Agricul-





ture, in which she showed that Life,

Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

——the unalienable rights of American

citizens, are the basic principles of

American prosperity. She went deeply

into the ‘economics of’the subject, il-

lustrating 'her logical argument with

plain, understandable figures rather

than by a mass of statistics, which left

her, hearers with something very tan-

gible to think about and digest. One

of’ her chiefconten‘tions was that the

farmer’s thirty-eight cent dollar must

be increased in value by a closer bal-

ance or equality with the dollar value

of other workers—those in industrial

and commercial pursuits.

Dean Russel Speaks.



Dean Russell, of the Wisconsin Ag-

ricultural College, followed in a splen-

did address on “Come, Let Us Counsel

Together.f' Big in stature, in brain

power and personality, he greatly im-

pressed the audience with his logical

arguments. He does not believe that

America will see .a return of pre—war





'activities for many years, if ever, and





contends that, in striving for an equal-

ity of prices as between various class-

es of our population, a readjustment

upward seems to be a better solution.



He called attention to the fact that

the spread of prices between the pro-





"stounsel Together





Dean Russell’ .1” Adwce





 





ducer of. food supplies and the con-

sumer is altogether too large, and

must be reduced. Other elements are

taxes imposed by the government.

Hoover shows that the average cost.of

living is fifty-four per cent above that

of 1913, and of that fifty-four per cent

government taxes impose fifteen per

cent; and that the total of govern-

ment, state and county and city taxes

amount to more than six billion dollars

a year. Excessive railroad rates are

also a vexed cause of unequality.



Dean Russel does not believe that

relief will come by legislative action,

but by gradual working out of prob—

lems by economics. He cited an in-

stance where a farmer near Madison,

needing some feed for his stock, pur-

chased a carload of alfalfa from a Da-

kota farmer. The cost of the alfalfa

ws_$116, while the freight chrges from

point of shipment to Madison was

$169. Then-result of high rail rates is

to place the producer a far greater

distance from his markets, as measur-

ed by previous rates, and to encourage

industrial enterprises in locations

much nearer the sources of food and

supplies. This is the reason the shoe

business of Lynn, Brockton and other

New England towns is stagnant, while

the shoemaking business in St. Louis

and other mid-western cities is flour-

ishing. The plants are nearer to the

sources of raw material and nearer

the sources of food supplies, and the

cost of living is much less.

dustrial expansion of the mid-western

states is inevitable due to this great

economic fact—M.

Mr. Snody’s Annual Report.



In his annual report to the bureau

members Mr. Snody told of his soil in-

vestigations along the Michigan shore

in comparison with soils of the Huron

shore counties. “Their heavier soils

are almost entirely on rough, hilly

land, suitable for growing fruit, while

their level lands are mostly sand

plains. On the east side of the state,

however, the soils where properly

drained are heavier and- more suited

for general farm. crops.” -

TO REQULATE IMPORTS OF FOR-

EIGN SEED. \





 





HE recent shipment of large Quan-

tities of clover seed from southern

wEurope to this country has led to an





late the importationof all seeds. A

bill introduced by Congressman James

C. Cantrill, of Kentucky, designed to

prohibit the admission of adulterated,

low quality seeds, is now before the





committee. It provides that no person

shall import seed grain and other

seeds into the United States unless

the container is marked plainly and

correctly to show the nature and quan-

tity of the contents, country, locality

where the seed was grown. address of

shippers and consignee. When the im-

ported seeds are mixed with other

seeds it will be requiicd to show the





domestic seeds and the country or

countries where the foreign seeds

were grown. The secretary of agricul-

'ture is given authority to carry out

the provisions of the bill.





FOR IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.





 





HE present emergency immigra-



tion restriction act will expire on

June 30, and unless congress enacts a

law to take its place, there will .be

practically no limit on immigration af-

ter that date, except for those disqual-

ified‘ by disease or immoral character.

This situation has led the committee

on Constructive immigration legisla-

tion to urge upon congress the neces-

just now is how to raise the money

with which to pay the bonus. Every

scheme that has been proposed has

met with strong opposition. The house

on the following eight-item bonus levy

plan:

. endar of the house, and C. W. Holman,





of the Milk Producers" Federation,

predicts that it will pass the house at

an early date, providing farm organi-

zations unite in giving it necessary

support. It is not sufficiently- far along

in the senate to warrant any predic-

tions as to its future there. Much de-

pends upon the backing it receives

from the dairy and farming interests.

The Fo‘rdney filled milk bill is a tax

proposition, similar to the oleomargar-

ine law, which has some support

among the dairymen. but it is be-

lieved to be hopelessly tied up in‘ the

house ways and means committee.





OPINIONS OF THE OAPPER-VOIJ-

STEAD BILL





 





CHARLES W. HOLMAN, secretary



of the National Milk Producers’

Federation, says: “The American

farmers have won their biggest legis‘

lative fight. Farmers of the nation.

are greatly indebted to Representative

Volstcnd and his associates in the

house and to Senators Kellogg, of Min-

nesota; Copper, of Kansas; Lenmot,

of Wisconsin; Sterling of South Da-

kota; Norris and Hitchcock, of Nebras-

ka, and Kenyon, of Iowa, and others

for their gallant elforts in passing the

bill.”



That the passage of the Capper-Vol-

stead bill “will save the country from

more radicallegislation,” is the opin-

ion of President Milo D. Campbell, of

the Milk Producer-8’ Federation. He

says: “The farmers have, accepted a.

strict supervision over their organiza-

tions. They have accept-ed a provision





which enables a. governmental body to *





determine whether by monopoly or re-

strain of trade prices which they make

are unduly enhanced. They accept a

severe civil penalty in case of undue

enhancement of price. If the prece-

dent is established for farm organiza-

tions that a certain margin above the

cost of production is unreasonable: the





demand will be fmthcoming through- -





out the nation, that the same rule otf

conduct be applied to great corpora-

tions who a1e known to make enor‘

mous plOfitS on their investments.”

During their short ride up the street

i r “I never saw anything like it,” he

‘ Those birds at Washington sitting on

put the skids under things when they

told the bankers to curtail loans and

advance interest rates. They don’t

and let the public run around with its

all right; this is a big country and the

farmers «may be better off in other

Jones, who had worked with the

1 . , county agent for several years took

‘ , the questionnaires and after making

' sure that he understood just what the

commission. wished, started to get

them filled in by representative farm-

How He .4th m Fight/6r Farmer-3’ Credit

By Edwy B. Reid





(Continued from last week).





agricultural credit he found the Amer-

ican Farm Bureau Federation had

scheduled him to testify. He wasn’t

accustomed to this sort of business

and frankly said so, but by the time

he sat in the hearings for several days

and saw that the congressmen were

merely trying to get at the right of

things he decided he would do his

best. His knees were shaking like

aspins when he arose to testify and a

breeze like a Turkish bath came

through the open window to add- to his

physical discomfort. The perspiration





popped out in great beads on his fore-





head and his throat felt like a dry

corn husk. His lips moved and he

heard a voice; but at first he was not

sure whether it was he .or someone

else that was speaking. At least it

said what he was thinking—and he

was thinking hard. He knew he had

facts and that they were right. It

gave him courage, and within a few

minutes he was sure that the voice

heheard was in his body and that the

congressmen were sitting on the edge

of their chairs listening—not ready to

jump at him. For the first five min-

utes that questionnaire was a life—sav-

er. He repeated exactly what the farm-

ers had said to him. The congressmen

then asked a few friendly questions to

make points clear and lead him on.

Their questions showed him that he

knew more about conditions back

home than they did. This loosened his

tongue and the description of credit

and banking conditions in his county

which‘ he gave the committee made

his seance with Banker Smith of his

home town sound like a school boy es-

say. He was frequently interrupted

with searching questions, and was fin-

ally thanked and excused.





John stayed on several days attend-

ing the hearings and listening to farm-

ers from other states testify and talk-

ing, when chance afforded, with mem-

bers of the commission. He learned

that agriculture in all parts of the

cbuntry was in about the same condi-

tion as far as banking credit was con-

cerned. He wished to stay and hear

the testimony through, but learned it

would not be completed on all subjects

for several months. So he made ar-

rangements to have the report sent to

him, and left for home.



Weeks passed in which he helped

harvest one of the largest corn crops

ever grown. Business slid a little

further around the cycle, credit he





 





came somewhat easier, and interest

rates dgclined. But farm prices still

bumped on bottom—way below cost of

production. Prices of other commodi-

ties lowered somewhat but farming

was still way out of line with other

business. The fall merged into win-'

ter and farmers began to discuss the

spring planting and acreage. There

was a strong desire upon the part of

some to see the corn acreage cut the

next season. In fact, the question was





.the common subject of debate at the





county agent’s office. One evening up-

on returning from discussing thisques-

tion Jones found the long-desired re-

port on agricultural credit by the com-

mission at Washington.



That night he read every word, and

as he laid down the report he said to





himself: ' “I knew those congressmen ,

What makes Cut glass





so heavy?





BEAUTIFUL, sparkling like a diamond, cut glass

is always a joy. But why is it so heavy ?





None but the informed would ever know. Cut glass

is more than one- -third lead. Thus lead plumbing,

white- lead paint, and cut glass are in a sense all of

one family.



.2! a!





The lead for cut glass (and for other fine glass, such

as that for optical use, electric light bulbs, etc.) is first

changed into lead oxide by burning it in a furnace.

This oxide is known as red-lead. It is a reddish powder.





This powder, mixed with silica (fine white sand) and

potash, becomes clear glass when melted in a furnace.

At a lower temperature, the molten glass is blown

into various shapes.





This 1s only a minor use of lead in making modern

life pleasant and comfortable, yet hundreds of tons of

red-lead are used in this way every year.





Lead is also an important factor in the manufacture

of rubber, and this means that there is lead in your

overshoes, your automobile tires, fountain pen, pipe

stem, and in dozens of other familiar articles con-

taining rubber. ,



a! .2!





Civilization has found almost countless uses for lead,

during centuries of experiment and progress, but it





‘ would be hard to find any other that is so important





as the conversion of pure metallic lead into white-lead

—the principal factor in good paint.





People are using paint more intelligently and more

liberally today than ever before. They are recognizing

the importance of the advice given in the terse maxim,

“Save the surface and you save all.”





The quality of a paint depends on the quantity of

white-lead it contains. Some paint manufacturers use

more white—lead, some less, in the paint they make.

Most painters know that the most durable paint they

can apply to a building is pure white-lead, thinned

with pure linseed oil.





National Lead Company makes white-lead of the

highest quality, and sells it, mixed with pure linseed

oil, under. the name and trade mark of

for a free copy of our “Wonder Book of Lead,” which

interestingly describes the hundred-and-one ways in

which lead enters into the daily life of everyone.

They surely Were digging. deep when





l was there."



The next day, chores finished, found

him ,in his auto Speeding to town, the

report in his pocket. Parking his car

within a few doors of the bank with

the brownstone front he was shortly

again in the president’s sanctum.





“Heard from Washington lately?"

greeted Banker Smith. “That commis-

sion of yours must have settled all our

little banking troubles by this time.”





“They have a plan and it comes

closer to fitting the needs of agricul-

ture than anything I’ve heard of,” re-

plied Jones, pulling out the report.





“You remember when we were talk-

ing last spring you told me why you

could not lend money for more than

three months to us farmers. I’ve been

thinking that over, and also asked the

men at Washington, and they agree

with you. They say it’s unsafe to

make loans for agricultural purposes

for longer than six months from money

on call deposits in banks. But the

commission has a way out. ’It would

let you and the other banks make

loans running up to three years and

then rediscount them in an agricultur-

al credit department to be established

in the Federal Land Banks. These

banks would sell short-time debentures

based upon this kind of paper. Agri-

culture would then have a. credit for

production purposes which would meet

its needs for producing and orderly

marketing its crops, including live

stock.



“Let me read you a couple of para-

graphs from the commission’s report.



“ ‘The commission believes that the

credit problem of the farmer can best

be met by adapting existing banking

agencies to his credit requirements.

In meeting these: requirements there

is no reason why, without destroying

their utility for the purposes for which

they were originally created, all of the

banking agencies of the country can

not be used by adapting them to the

farmer’s requirements. These require-

ments are for credit of sufficient ma-

turity to make payment possible out

of the proceeds ‘or the farm. This

means a credit running from six

months to three years, depending upon

the character of thecommodities to be

produced and marketed. In the case

of crops, six months may be in some

instances sufficient, but in the case of

live stock three years may be required.





“ ‘The commission proposes to meet

these requirements by authorizing any





department created in it under restric-

tions, limitations, conditions, and reg-

ulations adopted by the farm loan

board to .rediscount paper on which

money has been advanced to or used

by the farmer for agricultural purposes

having a. maturity of not less than six

months or more than three years at

rates of discount to be fixed by the

Farm Loan Board for any national

bank, state bank, trust company, sav-

ings institution, or live stock loan com-

pany. In addition the commission

deems it desirable to permit the fed-

eral land banks to make loans direct

to cooperative associations of farmers

organized under state laws for the pur-

pose of marketing staple agricultural

products when such loans are secured

by warehouse receipts upon such prod-

ucts. ‘ _



“ ‘The notes or obligations represent-





 





ing loans or discounts by the federal

land’banks are to be converted into

short-time debentures and sold to the

public in the same way as farm loan

bonds are 110err sold.





“ ‘It is proposed further that notes

taken or discounted by a federal land





such loans have reached a maturity Of

less than six months. In addition any

federal Deserve bank is authorized to





. buy and sell the debentures issued by





 





the Farm Loan Board to the some ox-





federal land bank through a separate.





bank shall be eligible for rediscount-

with any federal reserve bank when/ to be establishing themselves in the'





tune what she needs. \

When Jones finished reading, Bank- .





er Smith sat for a minute pondering

the problem in his deliberate way.

“Ybu and the commission are. right,"

he finally said. “It will require very

simpleJegislation. It will give, agricul.

I hope congress





which you say the commiSsion is rec-

ommending.” '



Jones’ only comment was, “We’ve

gone through enough grief in proving

this. Congress ought to be willing to

do the rest.”

NEW HIGHWAYS FOR CLOVER-

LAND.





SOME 350 miles of new highway con-



struction was under way in the

upper peninsula in 1921, according to

Mr. H. I. Davies, district highway sup;

erintendent for this district, as report-

ed by the Delta County Reporter, of

Gladstone. This involved an expendi-

ture of about $4,250,000. There was

also great activity in maintenance in

this section. New construction for

1922 will cover some 225 miles of road

and involve an outlay of $2,500,000.

While this new work is scattered

throughout the peninsula, the heaviest

undertakings will fall in Schoolcraft,

Mackinac and Chippewa counties to

the eastward where through routes are

not so well provided as in the central

and western counties. Bids on this

work are due for reception in March

and April.





SU N FLOWER SI LAGE SUCCESS-

FU L.





LAST year’s experience in growing



sunflowers for ensilage has encour-

aged Marquette county farmers to in-

crease their acreage, this year, accord-

ing to the Daily Mining Journal, of-

Marquette. The average crop went

twenty tons to the acre, and I have

heard of a yield of twenty-five tons to

the acre, last season. One farmer re-

ports that on a recorded test, he finds

his cattle have done as well on sun-

flower as on corn ensilage. The county

agricultural agent believes that in a

few years, every farm in the upper pe-

ninsula which maintains live stock,

will be found growing sunflowers. Ev-

ery Marquette county farmer who has

a silo, raised sunflowers last year and

plans an increased acreage this year,

reports the agent. -





PLENTY OF GAME THIS WINTER.





THE St. Ignace Enterprise, quoting

of the peninsula are wintering well,-





that there are more young deer to be

seen in the woods than for many years,





. and that the one-buck law has been a





success. The winter is also favorable

to partridge, and there will be plenty

of both kinds of game for next season.

A copper country game ward-en finds

many prairie chicken, especially in

southern Houghton county, where as

many as eighty birds have been seen

in a single covey. The birds are be~

lieved to have entered the state from

[NCREASING NUMBER OF CROPS.





 





FARMERS in the corn states are be-

ginning to apprecrate the advan-

. tages of diversified farming. The pres-

ent ruinously low prices have caused

3 them to analyze with more than ordi-

nary care the methods they have been

following. V. R. Gardener, a Michi-

gan man now of the Missouri College

Of Agriculture, suggests to the farm-

ers of that state that they devote some

of their time to the production of fruit

. and vegetable crops. Particular atten-

" tion is directed to the pruning, culti-

f vating, fertilizing and spraying of neg-

lected orchards. The market for fruit

can be largely expanded, particularly

in out of the way places. Mr. Gard-

ener hopes to encourage the produc-

tion of crops for which a demand can

.3 be created in the communities near

‘ the point of production.





 





GARDEN TRACTOR WORKS WELL.

MANY persons in the state are in-

terested in the use of small gar-

2 den tractors. The experience Of Mr.

* Storrs, of Lenawee county, is given by

himself as follows: “While I have not

used the tractor extensively it has giv-

_ en good satisfaction when it was

5 used. It is surprising what a lot of

2 work it will do. The best feature of

it is not the speed with which it works

but the slowness with which it will

work, thus making it possible to culti-

3 vate small vegetables more success-

fully than can be done with the horse

and still much faster than by hand. I

t find that I have to put in a long day

to use up three gallons of gasolene at

ordinary work.”

[CHIGAN muck farmers may or

may not be especially altruistic.

At least, their association in the

third annual meeting served notice on

the world that they were large users

of potash in the past and intended to

use more potash in the future, and

were not disposed to pay a tax of from





$1.00 to $4.00 per acre for protecting





American potash manufactures. Pres-

ident Norman P. Beebe, of Niles, own-

er and manager of one of the largest

muck farms‘in Michigan pointed out

that. the American potash industry was

the result of a war emergency and if

the military necessity for American

potash still obtains, all the people of

the United States should subsidize the

industry. To burden the farmer with

the entire responsibility for mainte-





ers claim, is unjust. Each member was

asked to write to his congressman.

“Our department is doing the most

extensive research in soil temperature

of any experiment siation in the coun-

try,” said Dr. M. M. McCooI, head of

the Soils Department at the Michigan

Agricultural College. This compliment

referred to the work of Dr. George C.

Boyucous, whose researches have at-

tracter international attention. He has

verified that muck soils do not conduct

heat as rapidly as mineral soils. The





1’ Muck “Fa mers; ppose' , e _

nance of this industry, the muck farms.





 





frostiness of muck soils is largely due

to the fact that the muck does 'not

radiate heat into the atmopshere to

the degree that mineral soils do.



Farm Experiments Prove Value of



_ Potash.



Roy Graham, of Lum, discussed the

cooperative muck project with the

Michigan Agricultural College on his

farm.- Sugar beets, carrots, cangels,

turnips, field corns, sunflowersfsweet

clover, alfalfa and potatoes were some

of the crops grown. The project which

was outlined by Ezra Levin, attempted

to include all the possible crops which

might be used in a rotation of general

farming on a muck farm. Every com-

bination of fertilizer was used. Nitrate

of soda, acid phosphate, muriate of pot-

ash and every combination of the

three; manure was also used. The fer-

tilizers were applied at right angles to

the crops so that every crop had all

fertilizer treatments.



The outstanding features of this ex-

periment was the benefits derived from

potash. There was practically no

growth where potash was absent While

adjoining plots on which potash was

applied gave excellent yields of all

crops. Especially interesting was the

variation in sugar content between pot-

ash and no potash plots. Not only

were the yields of sugar beets five





Michigan Fruit Farm Notes





Some Practical Suggestion; Regarding #28 Garden





AM writing this on groundhog day

Iand if Mr. Woodchuck comes out



he will sure lose his reputation for

sagacity. The wind is whistling across

the fields with an occasional flurry of

snow which only emphasizes the cozi‘

ness of the farm home. Just throw

another elm knot on the fire and let

her blow; the stock has been watered

and fed and the crunching of the corn

fodder is music to the ears.





The seed and nursery catalogs have

begun arriving. They furnish food for

much interesting contemplation these

cold days. Surely there is not a nur-

sery trust for the prices on trees and

plants vary from fifty cents each to as

high as two dollars each. I have found

the seed and nursery firms advertised

in the Michigan Farmer very reliable,

at least the ones I deal with. Grape

plants are selling here for $30 per

thousand and nurseries at other points

ask from $200 to $400 per thousand.

Strawberry plants are $3.00 per thou-

sand and raspberry plants $10 per

thousand here.





In looking over the seed catalogs, I

get confused with the almost unlimited

number of varieties. There are fifty

kinds of radishes but they all grow

about the same and taste very much

alike; the same is true of string beans.

I tried five new varieties of watermel-

ons last year but I am going back to

my old love, Kleckly sweets. My Tom

Watson melons got about the size of a

big cucumber and then withered away.

The same was true of the five varie-

ties of muskmelons I tried out. They

either failed to ripen at all or else

tasted like raw potatoes. I shall stick

to the Osage this year. My Hoodoo

muskmelons sure were hoodoos. I no-

tice. that each seed man brags that his

earliest tomatods better than, earlier

Jewel. The advertiséments have the

reverse effect for now I must try the

Chalk’s Jewel myself.

time they were ripe the market was

over. Two years ago I raised an

abundance of tomatoes and couldn’t

give them away. Last year I had over

a hundred bushels of pickles and after

making a big shipment to the market

I had just twenty-seven cents less than

nothing for my returns. My neighbor

raised a big field'of cabbage and had

to sell it for $2.00 a wagonload.



I do like to bite on something new

every year.

Chinese cabbage or Petsai, but only

a few plants in the garden. I sent to

Missouri for sweet potato plants last

spring and set out two hundred. I

found out when digging the potatoes

why the southener sets the plants on

a ridge. The potatoes were away down

in the ground over a foot deep but

they were the real thing. I had about

five bushels from two short rows. They

were much better than the store po-

tatoes.



Last year I tried out the Redhead

tomato but the other fellow may have

my share this year. Just why does

the seedlman get out so many novel-

ties? Now they advertise a white to-

mato. I tried the yellow kind but

found them 'a poor substitute for the

red. Blue roses, yellow watermelons

and white tomatoes are‘not for me.

I shall raise some more New Era cow-

peas for table use. We prefer them

to white beans. The whippoorwill will

not mature in Michigan. How do the

Chinese eat soy-beans? My wife cook-

ed a mess all forenoon and served

them for dinner. They were as hard





as bullets. 'I used my husbandly pre-





rogative of growling so she cooked

them all afternoon and served them

for supper, same result. By cooking

them all the next forenoon we man-

aged to crack a few with our teeth

but never‘again. They tasted like raw

peanuts only much harder. No won-

for muck. ‘



Mr. A. H. Sherman, of Homer, who

also carried out a muck plot project,

discussed Mr. Graham’s results from

the view of his own experience and





verified in a large degree the results





on the Lum plot. ,

Michigan Leads-



Dr. F. J. Alway, chief of the Soils

Division, University of Minnesota, not-

ed that Michigan was the only state

which had a muck farmers’ association

and the Michigan Agricultural College

was the only college which had anyone

giving his entire attention to muck

problems. He reviewed extensive ex-

perimental work carried on in Minne-

sota. It seems that Minnesota is

unidue in that phosphorus is the essen-

tial substance lacking on much of its

muck soil. He emphasized rolling thor-

oughly, proper fitting and also proper

draining. -





Selling Hay Good Business for Muck

Farmer.



Ezra Levin, of the State Department

of Agriculture, and formerly in charge

of the muck studies at the Michigan

Agricultural College, said that the large

work for the immediate future is the

measurement of quality of muck crops.

The significant fact in the results of

the muck projects in 1921 and his pre-

vious years of observation confirm the

opinion of practical farmers that crops

grown in impoverished muck are not

only deficient in quantity but lack in

quality. Weights of crops are no indi-

cation as to their feeding value, as was

shown by sugar beets, which varied in

sugar content. This fact was also very

clearly demonstrated by the variation

in mint oil content on the mint experi-

mental peats at Decatur. He stated

that averaging ten years no muck crop

made more money for the muck farm-

er than timothy hay. The muck farmer

can afford to sell nitrogen and organic

matter while the upland farmer is un-

able to do so and maintain fertility.

Selling hay is slound business for the

muck farmer.



Professor Ray Nelson, of the botany

department, gave what was probably

the most interesting talk of the meet-

ing. He outlined the results of several

years’ research to find a golden self-

blanching celery resistant to the

dreaded “Yellows” or “Stunt.” By se-

lecting resistant plants to this disease

and growing seed they have finally

found a strain of golden self-blanching

resistant to the “Stunt.” His talk was

amplified by photographs and received

very favorable comment from the

muck farmers.





Dr. N. P. Bope gave the results of a

cooperative fertilizer project on mint.

It was shown that. potash is valuable

for the production of mint oil. The

data revealed that plants may grow an

equfal amount of vines but vary in oil

content on fertilizer treatment. Mr. N.

P. Beebe discussed the results briefly,

noting that his experience with mint

verified that potash fertilization was

essentialfor oil yields.



Dr. Paul Harmer, of the Michigan

Agricultural College now. in charge of

the muck investigations, gave a review

of the muck experiments carried on in

the state in 1921. A’study of the re—

sults from the muck plots in the state

convinces Dr. Harmer that Michigan

mucks are essentially in need of pot-

ash. He believes that sugar beets will

be an important muck crop. The Mich-

igan Agricultural College is planning.

GREAT number of farm homes

will probably" be built this year

and also an' equal number of old



houses remodeled. It pays to spend

considerable time in planning; it

should alsm be remembered that a

house is not built for the‘ present

alone. A house in order to, give the

best service must actually be built

ahead of the times. Perhaps this is

impossible, but we should at least plan

for every convenience possible. It does

not cost much to plan for these things

although we may not beable to install

- everything now.



Take plumbihg, for instance, no farm

house should be built today without

some provision made for a bath room

and the necessary plumbing for the

kitchen and laundry. The value of

planning is forcibly impressed on any

one who has had any experience in





installing plumbing in the type of farm '





 





house built twenty years ago. It is

almost impossible to locate a bath

room in a convenient place or to get

the piping in properly.



Even though the plumbing may be a

later consideration, something can be

done now that will make it easier to

install later. First, the location of the

bath room can be planned. This may

be on either floor, although I think for

the country a bath room located on

the first floor which is easily accessi-

ble from the rear of the house would

be found the most convenient. How-

ever, an additional closet, or even a

complete bath room on the second

floor will be found very useful. The

bath room need not be large. It is

possible to install a bathtub, lavatory

and closet in a room six by eight feet,

althGUgh a room eight feet by eight

feet is much better. '





Besides arranging for the bath room

(the planning may be carried a step

ifarther if the finances will permit, by

having the “roughing in” done. That

is, the waste pipes and water pipes

which are usually concealed in the

Walls and under the floors can be put

in so that the fixtures can be attached

at any time. The “roughing in” can

usually be done tor $50 to $75.



Of course, if the bath room is on the

first floor the “roughing in” is very

simple, consisting merely of the soil

pipe extending through the roof. The

other piping can easily be put in from

the basement at any time. One thing

should be remembered, however, in

planning for plumbing, that the soil

pipe which connects with the closet is

four inches in diameter and has en-

largements at the joints which require

a six-inch partition to conceal it.





If the"‘roughing in” cannot be done

when the house is built, a “chase,”

that is an opening between two studs

and covered with a panel, can some-

times .be left in which the pipes lead-

ing to‘the second floor can later be

placed. "This will save mutilating the

walls when the plumbing is finally in-

stalled and will also make the pipes

very acc’i‘l’ssible when in need of re-



',pairs. It should be remembered, how-

ever, that this? “chase” must be six

increases» in order to held the soil

the race of life can afford the handicap of head-

aches, hisomnia, indigestion and debility. Nor

can they afford to take anything that may keep

up a continual irritation of the nervous system.





Yet this is what many people do who drink

excessive amounts of tea or coffee. For tea and

colfee contain cafl’eine, a substance that is sme-

times very injurious. Many doctors say that

«Heine raises the blood pressure, irritates the

kidneys and over-stimulates the entire ner-

vous system. Also that it is especially bad for

growing children, or for any one who has any

tendency to nervousness or insomnia.





 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   





If you want to avoid a possible cause of

headache, insomnia, or nervousness, it might be

well to stop taking tea and coffee for awhile, and

drink rich, satisfying Postum, instead.





Postum is a delicately-roasted, pure cereal

beverage—delicious and wholesome.





Order Postum from your grocer today. Drink

this fragrant, healthful beverage for awhile, and

see if you will not feel brighter, more active, and

more resistant to fatigue—as so many thousands

of others have felt. '





Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)

made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.

Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who

prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared)

made by boiling for 20 minutes.

ASK our: on IMPORTED SEED. ‘





 





HE Michigan State Farm 'Bureau



tool: a healthy whack at importa-

tions or southern-grown French and

Italian clover seed when its new board

of directors. at their first meeting on

February 14 adopted a resolution favn

bring the term schedule on seeds now

being advocated by the agricultural

bloc in congress.



In its resolution the farm bureau

maintained that the use of good, adap-

ted seed is fundamental to success in

agriculture and that the United States

should not be allowed to become a.

dumping ground for millions of pounds

of unadapted foreign seeds, particular-

ly clover. Farmers have suffered enor-

mous losses through having such seed

winteoklll, as attested by the records

of many county agricultural agents.

It was pointed out that no farmer can

detect unadapted foreign seed when

it comes frOm a car that may have

been sold and resold half a dozen

times and blended with other seed be-

fore the seed reaches its final destina-

tion.



The United States is rapidly becom-

ing one of the largest producers of

field and garden seeds in the world.

The agricultural bloc would practically

bar foreign seed by means of a tariff.





 





TELLS BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO

ESTABLISH TERMINAL COM-

MISSION HOUSES.





 





ICHIGAN LiVe Stock Exchange



delegates at the annual meeting

of the organization at. Lansing, Febru-

ary 16, adopted a resolution authoriz-

ing their board of dlrectbrs to proceed

with the establishment of a coopera~

tlve terminal commission house at De-

troit or Buffalo as soon as possible.

The matter of establishing the com-

mission house as a strictly Michigan

institution or in connection with a pro-

posed Michlgan-Ohio—Indlana district

of the National Live Stock Producers’

Association was left to the judgment

of the board of directors.



The National Liv-e Stock Producers’

Association, created recently as the re-

sult of the labors of the Live Stock

Marketing Committee of Fifteen, ap-





pointed by the American Farm Bureau’





Federation, is now establishing coop-

erative commission houses at the prin-

cipal live stock markets. The Michi-

gan and Ohio shippers, with many

common interests, have been» holding

up thelr several plans with the idea of

cooperating with the national organi~

zation provided the thing could be

done to mutual advantage, which ap-

pears quite possible.



A Few Kinks to Straighten Out.



At present the‘Michigan and Ohio

shippers and the national organization

are at variance on the Matter of gov-

ernment for local associations under

the national plan. The national plan

would make every local a unit of the

national body and subject to that na-

tional body through district directors,

whereas Michigan and 0th live stock

men insist that local and state live

stock affairs should be administered

direct by representatives from the 10-

cals. Conferences with the Committee

of Fifteen indicate that the Michigan-

Ohio idea may prevail locally if the

two states adopt the national plan.

The National Live Stock Producers."

Association contemplates eastern term-

inal commission houses at Buffalo, De

troll, Toledo, Cincinnati, and possibly

CleVeland. Michigan is primarily in-'

terested in Burialo and Detroit. It Was

shown at the meeting that. betwen





 





 





 





sisty and seventy-ave per com; um





 

 

 

 





live stock shipments coming into De-

troit are of cooperative origin and that

fifty-five per cent of the Buffalo ship-

ments are of cooperative origin.



Declares Packers Do Not Discriminate.



Charles Watts. of the Nebraska

Farmers’ Union, credited with being

the man who first placed cooperative

live stock commission houses on ~ a.

paying basis in Nebraska, Kansas. Mis-

souri and Colorado and made them

very successful, told the delegates that

his experience had shown that the'big

packers do not discriminate against

farmers‘ cooperative commission hous-

es but, as a matter or fact, give them

every privilege accorded to any com-

mission house. He also said that «the

packers, railroad-s and others would

welcome practical‘machinery to insure

an orderly flow of live stack to market,

a cooperative marketing aid: that is

reckoned as important as the matter

of marketing more economically.



The exahange adopted a resolution

in which it asked the Interstate Com-

merce Commission to lower freight

rates on live stock, citing that present

rates are ruinous to the industry and

bar farmers from many markets. ’



Directors Were elected. ‘They meet

at the Live Stock Exchange office in

Lansing at 10:00 a. m., Febmry 26, to

elect officers and employ their import-

ant executives. Old‘ directors reelected

were: P. M. Granger, of Charlotte;

George Boutell, Perry; Elmer Beamer,

Blisslield; E. E. Compson. Lansing.

New directors are: John O'Mealey, of

Hudson; W. J. Perry, Grand Blanc;

C. V. Tracy, Ithaca. N. W. Stewart,

of Clarksvllle, retiring treasurer, stat-

ed that he was no longer in coopera-

tive live stock marketing work and did

not stand for reelection.





 





FILE CLAIMS AT ONCE.





 





THE transportation department 0f

the American Farm Bureau Feder-

ation announces that all farmers hav-

ing claims for damages, loss in transit,

etc, against the United States Rall-

road Administration must file them in

the mower court befbre February 28.





 





I

WOULD TAKE TRUTH-lN-‘FABRlC

BILL FROM THE COMMITTEE.





 





C ONGRESS recently grew weary of



waiting for Mr. Winslow and the

House Committee on Interstate and

Foreign Commerce to report out the

bill, H. R. 64, commonly known as the

truth-in-fabric bill, which the Ameri.

can Farm Bureau Federation and oth-

er farm organizations are interested in

seeing passed. Theagricultural bloc

and others recently introduced a reso-

lution that the house of representa-

tives resolve itself into a. committee

of th‘e whole for the purpose of con-

sidering the bill.





 





STATE HORT M EETING.





 





E mid-winter meeting of the

Michigan State Horticultural So~

clety will be held March we, at 001-

oma, according to information issued

by T. A. Farrand, secretary of the as-

sociation, and extension specialist of

the horticultural

Michigan Agricultural College.

It has hitherto been customary, the

secretary pointed out, to hold a two-

day session in mid-winter,” but fruit





growers from all parts of the state





have insisted upon such a. variety of

subjects that it has been advisable to

lengthen the session. The prosram,

as tentatively arranged, includes con-

those of tree fruit growers. ' '

’ F rancisco Farm Notes

I By P. P. Pope





 





 





 





 





WONDER ’13 any ah you fellahs

ever wakened up on Sunday morn-

in’ and realize th’t you didna’ hav’



to go to your work? Uh-h? You’re





’ lyin’ there an’ you know you’re lyin’





there, and you can hear the canary in

the room and the wife in the kitchen

a washin’ the dishes an" breakin’ them.

Ha! Ha! Ha! And you can hear the

ham, an’ eggs a frizzlin’ in the pan.

Isn’t it beautiful?”



Since yester morn, I am prepared to

say Harry Lauder. knew what he was

talking about. Six days of strenuous

labor, either mental or physical, are

enough in one week for anybody. The



' seventh is a time

for rest, for relax-

ation, for change,

for building up

the tired muscles

and quieting the

jaded nerves. The

human body was

not made to run

continually on its

high gear. It has

1 o n g b e e n our

practice to disas-

sociate, in so far as possible, the sev-

enth day from the other six. The rou-

tine work, of course, must be done, the

cows must be milked and the stock

cared for. .But aside from this we like

to keep the day unto itself. Not only

the body but the mind also do we at-

tempt to free from the cares and dut~

ies that the business of the farm ex-

acts. There are so many good things

in this old world, besides our little

jobs, that are immensely worth while,

and Sunday offers an opportunity to

reach out and take hold of some. '





The Sunday Relaxation.



Perhaps the thing most desired

may be an extra hour in' bed, with

Harry Lauder. I was going to say

“breakfast in your bed,” but the wom-

.en might object. In this latter case

they also might appreciate a change

when it comes to the dish-washing. It

is our privilege, except when our am-

bition fails to rise to the occasion, or

we are too late to get a seat in the

church, (it is usually full to the doors),

to listen to a preacher who knows how

to put Christianity into everyday life,

and whose religion is one of joy and

gladness. An hour in such a presence

never fails to help make the day Seem

well spent. We drop in on some of

the folks in the afternoon for a little

talk over things in general and a romp

with the kiddies. It’s hard to tell who

has the most fun, perhaps the benefits

are mutual.





Reading for Recreation.

It is. said that Ray Stannard Baker

is known for his scientific and- geo-





' graphical works, but is loved for his





David Grayson books. To be a lover

of the Grayson books is to be fond of

the open air, to love the stretching

road, the smell of fresh plowed fur-

rows, and the sound of the brook; to

slip away from everything and go wan-

dering through the woods with joy for

a comrade. I topped out the day yes-

terday with his “Adventures in Con-

tentment.” Perhaps that is why I feel

so much satisfaction with the world in

general this morning. Why, I seem to

be reveling in the pure icy of living.

You who are having trouble in recov-

ering from the turmoil and fever of

the past few years; you who are find-





. ing-it difficult to assume the increased





financial burdens you are called upon to

hear; “you who are inclined to lay the

blame [for your, troubles upon‘ other

he ergfltgorget it. 'Just tacklethe





 





eon ' it whine:





in most cases easier than wriggling

out from under. There are a lot of us

who are working harder to get out of

doing a thing, than we’would have to

work to the thing itself. And let us

make up our minds that we will not

be chased to death by our business, but

that We will use it'to increase our own

joy and comfort and satisfaction and

contentment. .



Now, I did not start out to write a

sermon. I simply have to think some

of these things out for my own benefit

occasionally, and I am passing them

on to you. Perhaps they will help to

prepare us for the subject of today

which is:



~ Barnyard Waste.



Some come-down, eh? Perhaps it

will be easier to keep our feet on the

ground. Those of you who have fol-

lowed these notes closely or have visit-

ed Francisco Farm will know that the

cattle and hogs are generally allowed

the freedom of the basement under the





big barn. The waste from the horse

stallsis scattered about the entire

basement. It is kept well bedded and





the manure allowed to accumulate.

Whenever it is convenient the manure

K A C Fertilizers are serving more farmers

than the fertilizers of any other manufacturer.





You may know them as “A A C”; or by such

famous subsidiary brands as “Homestead,”

“Empire,” “Horseshoe,” “Patapsco,” “Cleve-

spreader is driven into the barn, load-

ed and the manure spread directly on

the fields where most needed, with but





one handling. This arrangement would ‘

not suit everyone, but with the line of ,





stock we handle it is quite satisfactory

and has several advantages.





Convenience in Handling Manure.





First, the stock are always clean, no ;





manure ever sticking to their flanks

and quarters.



Second, there is a great saving of

labor, the tons and tons of waste only

requiring one handling, except that

from the horse stalls.



Third, being under shelter there is

practically no loss of plant food from

leaching or heating.



Fourth, the constant tramping of the





animals keeps the surface firm and an *





immense amount of bedding can be

worked up as an absorbent.



Fifth, it never freezes and whenever

it is convenient we can bring out the

spreader and make a business of clean-

ing" the stables. This we usually work

at in February and March, when the

ground is frozen, leaving very little of

an accumulation when the stock goes

to grass.



A Good Winter Work.



Sixth, the work comes at a time of

year when there is little else crowding,

and causes little tramping of the fields.

It is an ideal job for breaking in the

colts. They learn to pull, they learn

to stand, they learn to back. And

they, as well as the older horses, be-

come hardened in preparation for the

heavier work which is to follow.

Do you realize that the use of limestone is the one subject

on which all agricultural authorities agree?





Try to think of another method or feature of farm opera-

tiOn which all authorities agree in supporting.





The necessity for the use of limestone in securing profitable

yields is admitted and urged by the agricultural colleges, by

county agents, experimental stations, farm papers, lecturers

--in fact, by every reliable source of farming information.





Have you ever thought of the subject of limestone in that

light before?





Have you ever considered the fact that, in delaying the

application of limestone, you are'going against the opinion

not of one authority or group of authorities, but against the

unanimous opinion of all authorities?





In short, do you dare—can you afford to run the risk of

going through the coming season of low prices and small

. profits without taking advantage of the help limestone will

be to you in increasing your yields?





Alfalfa Must Have Lime





In the present great campaign of the Michigan Agricultural

College on alfalfa, it is stated definitely that lime must be

used on the largest percentage of Michigan land in order to

get satisfactory yields.





If you are planning to get the unquestioned benefits and

profits from growing alfalfa, you must begin by liming

your land.





Clover Must Have Lime





Clover has always been a part of the short rotation of crops

‘ on most Michigan farms. It is impossible to raise clover on

Dare You Do Without Limestone?





many Michigan farms today, while other farms are getting

larger yields than ever before- The only difference is

limestone.





Don’t think of these facts as merely advertising statements

of a concern trying to sell you limestone. They are facts

stated by your own agricultural college, by your own farm

bureaus, and county agents. Ask them.





Solvay Costs Less—Does More.





Of course, there are several forms in which lime may be

applied. But by far the largest percentage of all Michigan

farmers using lime agree that Solvay Pulverized Limestone

is the cheapest and best form in the long run.





It is dry. This saves freight and haulage—~the largest

items of expense in limestone use.





It is the mdst finely pulverized form of limestone known.

All of it is thus readily absorbed by the soil. No need to

wait for its benefits. Smaller quantities are necessary.





And it is produced by a company known and respected by

Michigan farmers—a concern that can be absolutely relied

upon for the purity of its product and fair dealing with its

customers.





Solvay Pulverized Limestone is one Of the few if not the

only commodity bought by farmers on which the price was

never raised throughout the entire high—price area we have

been passing through. It is offered today at the same price

asked before the war.

He started instantly away to the

dressing-rooms; a few minutes later,

when he rode onto the field, Harriet

was conscious that, in some way, Ea-

ton was playing a part as he listened

to Avery’s directions. Then the ball

was thrown in for a scrimmage, and

she felt her pulses quicken as Avery

and Eaton raced side by side for the

ball. Eaton might not have played

polo before, but he was at home on

horseback; he beat Avery to the ball

but, clumsy with his mallet, he missed

and overrode; Avery stroked the ball

smartly, and cleverly followed through.

But the next instant, as Eaton passed

her, shifting his mallet in his hand,

Harriet watched him more wonder-

ingly. ‘



He could have hit that ball if he’d



wanted to,” she declared almost audi-

bly to herself; and the impression that

Eaton was pretending to a clumsiness

which was not real grew on her. Don-

ald Avery appointed himself to oppose

Eaton wherever possible, besting him

in every contest for the ball; but she

saw that Donald now, though he took

it upon himself to show all the other

players where they made mistakes, did

not offer any more instructions to Ea-

ton. One of the players drove the ball

close to the barrier directly before

Harriet; Eaton and Avery raced for

it, neck by neck. As before, Eaton by

better riding gained a little; as they

came up, she saw Donald’s attention

was not upon the ball or the play;

instead, he was watching Eaton close-

ly. And she realized suddenly that

Donald had appreciated as fully as her“

self that Eaton’s cl-umsiness was a pre-

tense. It was no longer merely polo

the two were playing; Donald, suspect-

ing or perhaps even certain that Ea-

ton knew the game, was trying to

make him show it, and Eaton was

watchfully avoiding this. Just in front

of her, Donald, leaning forward, swept

the ball from in front of Eaton's pony’s

feet.

. For a few moments the play was all

at the further edge of the field; then

once more the ball crossed with a long

curving shot and came hopping and

rolling along the ground close to

where she stood. Again Donald and

Eaton raced for it.





“Stedman!” Avery called to a team-

mate to prepare to receive the ball af-

ter he had struck it; and he lifted his

mallet to drive the ball away from in

front of Eaton. But as Avery’s club

was coming down, Eaton, like a flash

and apparently without lifting his mal-

let at all, caught the ball a sharp,

smacking stroke. It leaped like a bul-

let, straight and true, toward the goal,

and before Avery could turn, Eaton

was after it and upon it, but he did

not have to strike again; it bounded

on and on, between the goal-posts,

while together with the applause for

the stranger arose a laugh at the ex-

pense of Avery. But as Donald halted

before her, Harriet sawthat he was

not angry or discomfited, but was smil-

ing triumphantly to himself; and as

she called in praise to Eaton when he

came close again, she discovered in

him only dismay at what he had done.



The practice ended, and the players

rode away. She waited in the club—

house till Avery and Eaton came up

from the dressing-rooms. Donald’s tri-

umphant satisfaction seemed to have

increased; Eaton was silent and pre-

occupied. Avery, hailed by a group of

men, started away; as he did so, he

saluted Eaton almost derisively. Ea-

ton’s return of the salute was open-1y

hostile. She looked up at him keenly,

trying unavailingly to determine

whether more had taken place be-

tween the two men than she herself

had witnessed.



“You had played polo before—and

played it well,” ‘she charged. “Why

did you want to pretend you hadn’t?”



He made no reply. As she began to

talk of other things, she discovered

with surprise that his manner toward

her had taken on even greater formal-

ity and constraint than it had since

his talk with her father the day before.



The afternoon was not warm enough

to sit outside ;' in the club-house were

gathered groups of men and girls who

had come in from the golf-course or

from watching the polo practice. She ’

found herself now facing one of these

groups composed of some of her own

friends, who were taking tea and waf-

ers in the recess before some windows.

accepted him as one of their own sort

to the point of jesting with him aboUt

his “lucky" polo stroke for a beginner;

his manner toward them was very dif-

ferent from what it had been just now

to herself; he seemed at ease and un-

embarrassed with them. One or two

of the girls appeared to have been eag-

er—even anxious—to meet him; and

she found herself oddly resenting the

attitude of these girls. Her feeling

was indefinite, vague; it made her

flush and grow uncomfortable to rec-

ognize dimly that there was in it some

sense of a proprietorship ofwher own

in him which took alarm at seeing

other girls attracted by him; but lin-

derneath it was her uneasiness at his

new manner to herself, which hurt be-

cause she could not explain it. As the

party finished their tea, she looked

across to him.



“Are you ready to go, Mr. Eaton?”

she asked.



“Whenever Mr. Avery is ready.”



“You needn’t wait for him unless





you wish; ‘I’ll drive you back,” she

offered. ‘



“Of coursei’d prefer that,,Miss San-

toine.” ‘ _ ,



They went out to her trap, leaving

Donald tomotor back alone. ,As soon

as she had driven out of the club

grounds, she let the horse take its own

gait, and she turned and faced him.



“Will you tell me,” she demanded,

“what I .have done this afternoon to

make you class the among those who

oppose you?” ‘



"What. have you done?

Miss Santoine.”



“But you are .classing me so now.”



“Oh, no,” he denied so unconvincing-

ly that. she felt he was only puttifig

her off.



Harriet Santoine knew that what

had attracted her friends to Eaton was

their recognition of his likeness to

themselves; but what had impressed

her in seeing him with them was his

difference. Was it some memory of

his former life that seeing these peo-

ple had recalled to him, which had af‘

fected his manner toward her?



Again she look-ed at him.



“Were you sorry to leave the club?”

she asked.



“I was quite ready to leave,” he an-

swered inattentively.





“It must have been pleasant to you,

though, to——to be among the sort of

people again that you—~you used to

know. Miss‘ Furden”-——she mentioned

one of the girls who had seemed most

interested in him, the sister of the boy

whose place he had taken in the polo

practice—“is considered a very attrac-

tive person, 'Mr. Eaton. I have heard

it said that a. man—any man—not to

be attracted by her must be forearmed

against her by thought—or memory of

some other woman whom he holds

dear.”



“She/ seemed very pleasant,” he an-

swered automatically.



“Only pleasant? You were forearm-

ed, then,” she said. . .



“I’m afraid I don’t quite understand.”



The mechanicalness of his answer

reassured her. “I mean, Mr. Eaton,”

—she forced her tone to be light——~

“Miss Furden was not as attractive to

you as she might have been, because

there has been some other woman in

your life—whose memory—or—~or the

expectation of seeing whom again—~

protected you.”





Nothing,





“Has been? Oh, you mean before?”_





“Yes; of course,” she answered has-

tily.





“No———none,” he replied simply. “It’s





, rather ungallant, Miss Santoine, but I





am afraid I wasn’t'thinking much

about Miss Furden.”

She felt that his denial was the

truth, for his words confirmed the im-

.. ,wfisgatNE of the prime merits of Jell-O is that it is always

.' ’.\:‘a* ready. With a package of Jell—O on the emergency

( ,5; 5”"): shelf and some bOiling water, there is no trouble in

{3/92 preparing a dessert which is sure to come out right.

.4354? By the addition of fruit or cream an endless variety

"' ’ may be produced and the question, “What shall we

have for dessert 2” is nearer solution than it possibly can be in a

household where Jell—O has no place. The recipes below, which are

illustrated at the side, are typical of scores of others.





   





Orange fell -0





Dissolve a package of Orange Jell’O in a pint of boiling water

and set in a cold place to harden. Turn out on a plate and serve

plain or with whipped cream.





Imperial Salad





Drain juice from half a can of pineapple, add one teaspoonful

of vinegar and enough water to make a pint. Heat to bOiling point

and add one package of Lemon jeler. Just as jell—O begins to set,

add three slices of canned pineapple, cubed, one—half can Spanish

pimentos, shredded, and one medium size cucumber, salted and cut

fine. Mould in individual moulds or in one large mould and slice.

Serve with cream salad dressing.





Cherry fell-O





Cherry Jell’O has the peculiarly pleasant cherry flavor which

is so much enjoyed by lovers of good things to eat. It is, of course,

the pure fruit flavor. The plain dessert is made by dissolving a

package of Cherry Jell—O in a pint of boiling water, and is served

either with or without Whipped cream.





MrsRorer'sjambolaya





Fill a mould or tall glasses a little more than half full of mixed

sliced fruits, oranges and bananas and other fruits in season. DlS’

solve one package of Orange Jell’O in one pint of bOiling water.

When cool pour it over the fruit in the mould or glasses. Chopped

nuts may be added. Set away to harden—Sarah Tyson Rorer.





Raspberry Bamnan Cream





Wash one box of raspberries and sprinkle With four table;

spoonfuls of sugar. Dissolve a package of Raspberry Jell—O in three«

fourths pint of boiling water and when cold and still liquid whipto

consistency of whipped cream. Then fold in the raspberries and

juice. Set in a cold place to harden. Serve with whipped cream

and garnish with fresh berries. Use canned berries when fresh are

out of season

- , HEN he rose and left that place

Wand ,went into the neighborhood

of Tyre and Sidon. Here he

entered a house and wished no one to

know it, but he could not escape ob-

servation.” Mark 7:24. The Master

thonght he could be hidden for a little

time. He would rest, alone and unob<

served, away from the pressing crowds

of the poor and diseased and oppress-

ed. But he was mistaken. Even up

' there in Tyre and Sidon, outside of

Palestine, away from the Jewish peo-

’ ple, even there He

could not be bid-

den. “For a wom-

an w h o s e little

daughter was pos-

sessed by a foul

spirit h e a r d of

Him, and came

and flung herself

at His feet. She

was a Ge 11 tile

woman, a Syro-

phpnician by na-

tion: and again

and again she begged Him to expel the

demon from her daughter.”





He cannot be hidden now. Not long

ago a newspaper man wrote a life of

Christ, entitled, “The Christ We For-

get.” If there is a place where one

would say that Christ was forgotten,

it is in the manager’s office of a mod-

ern daily paper. But like a white

flower growing in the desert, there

grows this life of Him we call Christ.

Nor is that paper alone in this respect.

A western daily with a huge circula-

tion has devoted a page to things

Christian every Saturday, while anoth-

er has begun to publish a weekly arti-

cle on religion by one of the best

known politicians. in the country. The

sales of devotional books run into the

millions. The statement has been

made that “In His Steps” has sold

more than twenty millions of copies,

while books like the “Inside of the

Cup,” have very large sales.



NOW c0mes another book written



as if Jesus were one of an arbi-

tration committee to settle a coal

strike, a strike of railroad men, and

the like, and trying to show what He

would say, how He would talk, under

those conditions. You cannot hide Him

in the‘libraries where modern books

are housed, you cannot hide Him in

those rooms where stand the great



English classics. Poetry springs from



His touch like flowers from a warm



spring wind. Wonderful stories of her-



oism, of devotion to great causes, gath-

on the sunny side of the barn on a cold

is largely the record of wars, of evil

kings, more wars, councils and kings.

But ever and again there arises on the

pages of history some one who exemp-

lifies the spirit of Him of whom we

speak, and that is a bright spot. As

you read, the heart is warmed, and one

gets a fresh belief in the goodness of

his fellowmen. Sometimes it is a. so‘

ciety organized for the car-e of the

poor, or a group of men who meet for

prayer and the culture of the inner

life. It may be the Waldensians who

love their Lord enough to suffer ‘any

thing, all things for Him, it may be

the Franciscans who are devoted to

the poor, or it may be the early Meth-

odists who go forth to proclaim a full

and satisfying salvation. Sometimes

your little boy calls out in the night,

“Is 00 there, mama?” “Yes, I’m here,

darling, go to sleep.” So hungry hu-

A HISTORIAN is now telling us that

the blood of the Pilgrims isbecom-

ing‘extinct. Soon the stream of life

that has meant so much to America

and to the world, will be lost. This

man says that at no distant time it

will be possible to place all the des-

cendants of the Pilgrims on a ship the

size of the Mayflower and send them

to England, whence their an.cestors

came. Yet that cannot be said with

respect to the descendants of the Naz-

arene. If His followers could once

have come in a small vessel, it would

now require all the navies in the world,

and all the merchant marine in the

world, and all the tramp ships, and all

the private ships and all the submar-

ines and all the airplanes in the world

in which to transport across the sea

the Americans who believe in Him.

Christ’s influence breaks out at times

like an unexpected view as one rounds

a curve on a railroad train. In 1858

there occurred the most spectacular

political campaign ever staged in

America, between Abraham Lincoln

and Steven A. Douglas. And suddenly

like a voice in the dark, like a ship

looming big in the fog, there appears

the figure of Christ. Speaking in 1858,

Lincoln said, “I believe this nation can-

not endure permanently half slave and

half free.” The principles of Christ,

like Christ Himself, cannot be hid.





' He can not be hid in colleges and

universities. Some folk do not believe

that. They think that college students

are a wild, irreligious lot. But no.

Never does a speaker get a more ear-

nest hearing than he gets from ' a

crowd of students, as he delivers some

thoughtful and clear message on relig-

ion. The greatest religious movements

of modern times (or at least some of

them), have sprung up first among

students. But of that some other time.

Youth loves adventure. Youth and ad—

venture agree, as the sun agrees with

the rain. And He cannot be bid among

business men. Men are thinking of

Him much. They are thinking of Him

not merely in terms of sentiment and

personal devotion, but in terms of .put-

ting His mighty ideals into practice in

the business world and that counts.

Not many are doing this? Perhaps not

many as yet, but the number seems





to be steadily increasing.

A FEW years ago a Pennsylvania



man retired from business. He

had made his pile. One night he wan«

dered into a revival meeting and was

greatly blest. He seemed to hear a

voice saying, “Go back into business

and make money, and give it away to

good causes.” He obeyed. He soon

was able to give away thousands of

dollars. Boston University received

$100,000 from him. Not long ago a

man in the west became bankrupt. He

mortgaged his home to pay a pledge

of $2,500 he had made to the Y. M. C.

A. The struggle with poverty was

hard, but at length he began to manu-

‘facture a product that instantly met

with an immense sale. Money began

to pour in'. He had promised his Lord

that he would give away at least a

tenth of all he made. He is doing it.

ORTY-THREE ysan ago Alexander Graham Bell, the in-

wrote this inspired forecast: “It in





telephone wires could be laid under—

allinaa, country houses, shops, monufacturws,

n one part of the country may oommumcatc





with another in a distant place.”

ld yrint of Bell lecturing on telephony, 1877.





F-Oresi‘ght





More than forty years ago, when the telephone was still in

crimcntal stage, with but a few wires strung around

Boston, the men back of the undertaking foresaw a universal

system of communication that would have its influence upon all

phases of our social and commercial life.





They had a plan of organization capable of expansion to

meet the growth they foresaw; and their wisdom is borne out

by the fact that that plan which they established when tele—

phones were numbered by dozens is efficient now when

telephones are numbered by millions.





This foresight has advanced the scientific development of the



art of telephony to meet the multiplied public requirements. It



I has provided for funds essential to the construction of plant; for

the purchase of the best materials on the most advantageous

terms; for the training of employees to insure skilled operators;

for the extension of service in anticipation of growth, with the

purpose that no need which can be foreseen and met will find





the Bell System unprepared.





The foresight of the early pioneers has been developed into

a science during the years which have elapsed, so that the plan-

ning of future operations has become a function of the Bell

System. This is why the people of the United States have the

most efficient and most economical telephone service inthc world.

Woman’s Interests





 





 





 





By Hilda





ding day with as nice an outfit as

the family purse will afford, but many

good mothers are really ignorant of

the fact that their sons should have

certain articles, as well as should the

prospective bride. Many families in-

nocently suppose that if they give the

young man a sum of money to help

buy his farming equipment and furni-

ture, nothing else is necessary. In-

deed many of them, and well-to—do peo-

ple at that, provide nothing for their

sons to take to their new homes. This

comes about through lack of knowl-

edge rather than stinginess many

times.



One bride was amazed when she

looked over her young husband’s

clothes to! find that he owned nothing

but garments thriftily patched and re-

patched by his frugal mother. Of

course, he had a “new suit to be mar-

ried in, with new overcoat and new

things from the skin out, but his en-

tire wardrobe, which was small, was

in poor condition. Now that mother

would have given up her life for that

boy if it had been necessary, but she

did not hesitate to humiliate him by

sending him forth with such an outfit,

when ,she could well afford to make or

buy new for the young man who had

faithfully worked on his father’s farm

since returning from high school.



The mother of the young man about

to be married should see that he has

enough undergarments, night shirts,

socks, shirts and personal articles,

such as handkerchiefs, ties and little

things, to last several years. Young

men starting in life find many places

for their hard-earned dollars, and the

boy who does not have to pay out mon-

ey immediately for working clothes

and underwear is very grateful to the

mother who foresaw the difficulties

and tight places of the first years of

married life.



Every young man should have his

own bedroom suite to take from his

old home with him. Perhaps the bride





AN a woman manage the affairs

of a farm home and do outside

work successfully? Ask Mrs. W.

H. Lovejoy, of Perry, Michigan, one of

the seven grange state deputies ap-

pointed in the fall of 1920. Mrs. Love-

joy says she can, and. that she gets

more “pep” for the farm work because

of her outside interests. Certainly

Mrs. Lovejoy needs pep to take care of

her eight-room house—though the fact

that it is modernized as to running wa-

ter-and bath makes housework easier

——and do her share of the other work

which falls to the lot of the mistress

on a farm of one hundred and ninety-

two acres. Looking after a flock of

four hundred hens means some work,

and that is what Mrs. Lovejoy expects

has hers to bring to the new home and

one of the outfits can be for the guest

room which every country family

needs. Along with his bed should go

his mattress, pad, sheets, pillows, pil-

low slips, quilt, bedspread, pair of

blankets and a comfort. Many coun-

try families would feel disgraced to

let a. boy go from home with a fully

supplied bed, even to a feather bed,

though the latter has gone out of style

in many quarters. There is Something

delightful in being able to give each

son fine new, clean bedding to go with

his familiar bedroom suite, and no mat-

ter how well the young wife is fitted

out with such things, the“ husband’s

plenishing always comes in handy.

Only recently I saw a quilt pieced more

than seventy, years ago as a part of a

son’s bedding in pioneer days, and

cherished all these years even to the

fourth generation. That sturdily made

quilt has seen much wear and shows

signs of it in its faded blocks, but the

tiny stars and diamonds “quilted in by

loving hands are as firm‘ as the day it

was finished. .



The bedroom furniture is really all

many families can afford and all they

consider necessary to give, but many

fond mothers, particularly mothers of

only sons, add other things such as an

easy chair, a bookcase for the familiar

books, a rug, a stand, a bedroom lamp

or any other‘thing the boy has used

in the old home. Every mother should

have saved up the school grade cards,

the childish pictures, the toys with

which the boy played and a few of the

garments he wore. A little box of

treasures for each child is a precious

possession,'but children never think to

collect these things for themselves.

Son doesn’t need the table linen and

the fancy articles that daughter saves

up for her hope chest, but he will ap-

preciate something that looks homey

and familiar when he settles down in

his new nest, a great deal more than





. he will“ appreciate a large sum of mon-





ey saved up for him after his parents

are gone.

the new strain of White Leghorns she

is just starting.



The granges for which Mrs. Lovejoy

is responsible are scattered over quite

a stretch of country, Shiawassee, Sag-

inaw, Tuscola, Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac,

St. Clair, Macomb, Oakland and Gen-

esee counties. The work as loosely

specified for the deputies was to put

new life into old granges, help live

ones in their work, and establish new

granges. So far Mrs. Lovejoy has spent

most of her time in the first specifica-

tion, helping thhe older granges to a

new start, and when she once starts

after a grange, it just naturally has to

keep on going. For Mrs. Lovejoy is

the sort of deputy who doesn’t stop

with one Visit. She goes has]: quite

unexpectedly to see if the

she organized is keeping on the job.



“For mercy sakes, are you back here

again?” one grange leader exclaimed

when she made a ”second visit. “Don’t

you know you’re only supposed _ to

come once?" '



“Maybe so,” Mrs. Lovejoy replied,

“but I’m going to keep right on coming

so long as there is anything I can do

to help.”



And because of this plugging on the

part of Mrs. Lovejoy and her fellow

deputies the grange made a. gain of

two thousand members last year, the

largest gain since 1912.



A unique record for these changing

days is Mrs. Lovejoy’s simple state-

ment that she has spent all her life

in Genesee county, and in that time

has lived in but two houses. She grad-

uated from the Kenton schools, taught

country school for a. time and later in

Fenton, andthen married and went to

the farm where she now lives. She is

a practical farm woman, does all sorts

of farm work, and can run all the ma-

chinery on the farm. Her only outside



-work is with the grange, where she

has held county offices, and held the

office of lady assistant steward in the

State Grange.

FOR THE WOMAN VOTER.





 





THE spring election this year falls



on April 3. This is for the purpose

of electing township officers. The real

work in many counties, however, will

come in March, when nominations to

these offices are made at the caucus

called by the townShip committee. ,In

many townships the vote on election

day is a foregone conclusion as the

township always goes solidly for the

one party. In such cases the work for

the intelligent voter is in March, when

she should use her influence to place

the best men—or women—in nomina-

tion.

aghast before the liberty claimed by

our rising generation. but over in Chi-

ing to pass. The Chinese women, al-

Lessons In Health Culture





.3—Eaz‘z'rzg and Drinking

By Rut/1 Selby





LL physical growth is obtained



from food, solid and liquid. Ex-



ercise accelerates the circulation

of the blood and assists the lungs and

other purifying organs to throw off:

Waste matters and increases the appe-

tite and food supplies nature’s need

and builds up.



Foods are divided into classes be-

cause of their special constituents. Pro-

teids, such as meats, fish, eggs, cheese,

and beans and peas, supply muscle and

strength. The carbohydrates, sugar

and starchy foods, make heat and en-

ergy. Fats, butter, cream, olive oil and

fat of animals, make flesh and heat.

Vegetables supply mineral salts so es-

sential to health—and roughage Fruits,

sugar and acids, and liquids, of which

plain water is most healthful, makes

soluble the food and more easily ap

propriated and helps to keep the kid-

neys and alimentary canal unobstruct-

ed. I mention these facts to remind

my readers that variety in diet is nec-

essary for health. This does not mean

that much variety at a. meal is neces-

sary, for one or two articles from

each one of these groups will form suf-

ficient variety for any one at any time

of year. If we will eat, daily, of all

these classes of food and eat them in

right proportions we are very apt to.

become strong and healthy.



Many people who consume a quan-

tity of food are thin and weak. This

is probably because they are overfed

on some things and underfed on oth-

ers. Certainly, they are not properly

nourished and a change of diet will

usually cause improvement. All foods

are good when pure and unadulterated

and preperly prepared, and “dieting”

should never be resorted to unless ab-

solutely necessary. Usually it should

be by the advice of a physician who

prescribes the diet.



What we want is efficiency of mind

and body, and many of our made~up

dishes, concocted of many things

chiefly to please the palate, cheat us

out of the main end for which food is

intended. Too much rich pastry, cakes

and desserts are consumed, too many

condiments, pickles and highly-season-

ed foods. We need more simplicity in

our meals which would be less demand

upon housekeepers as well as upon the

stomachs they cater to.



Dessert should-always be a neces—

sary part of the dinner, not something

added after hunger has been satisfied.

It should be in sight, not kept back as

[a surprise, and it should be simple,

light and wholesome As a rule we

have eaten sufficient when the last

course comes on, the adding of which

fills to repletion, causing dullness,

drowsiness and more ‘or less of diges-

tive disturbance. The best and most

wholesome desserts are, light pud-

dings, such as rice, bread, tapioca, cup

custards, fruit, raw or cooked, with

milk or cream. ice cream. made with-

out eggs when trait is used. and light

sponge cake. Those who value good

alert and "logical, and is possessed of

unusual ambition” After being educat-

ed in a modern school she is never

satisfied with the old’ life, and has no .

intention of returning to it. If we are,

horrified at the action of our young

folks who have always known freedom,

what must be the feelings of the ven-

erable Chinese folk of the old school‘

who see their rising generation break-

ing down all traditions and insisting

upon freedom and even political equal-

ity, for women?





portant as what we eat. One should

never eat when fatigued or worried. A

few minutes rest before meals is best

any way. And farmers and others who

come from hard work to their midday

meal and return to work unrested of-

ten find that their meals do them little

good. A short rest after meals should

always be taken. .



One should never eat in a hurry.

Better postpone eating until you have

time to enjoy the meal and masticate

thoroughly. For thorough mastication

is really one of the secrets of a good

digestion.



How often We eat and regularity of

meals are also of great importance.

Many people are better off with two

meals a day, breakfast and supper——

or a late dinner—and fruit at bed-time

or bread and butter and a glass of

milk. Much depends on the kind of

work one does. If one hasn’t time for

a regular breakfast, better eat a light

one and the heartier meals when there

is ample time for them. But for most

people the three-meal plan is best, al-

lowing from five to six hours between

the meals, and people who do hard

manual labor need three meals’a day.



The essential points to be remember-

edin eating for health, then, may be

summed up as follows: The diet must

be varied; foods must be pure—in per-

fect condition. (Right here I will say

that no class of people on earth have

a better chance to have a variety of

the best food than farmers’ families,

yet many of them fall to see their ad-

vantage in this line). Meals must be

eaten with regularity. Do not eat too

much. In is better to ‘Ieave the table

before the appetite is fully satisfied. If

you are not hungry it is best to omit

a meal and you will probably relish the

next one more. ,Absence of hunger or

“appetite,” is in many cases only the

stomach’s demand for rest. Over-eat-

ing is one of the commonest causes of

indigestion. Take time to masticate

and do not wash your food down with

liquids.



Do not drink coffffee or tea if you

have indigestion.



Too much water at meals, especially

ice Water, is not an aid to digestion.

The latter, if drunk, should be taken

in sips. Plenty of moderately cool wa-

ter should be drunk between meals.

OMEONE has said that club work

is justified only when the fifty per

cent business and fifty per cent

social program is carried out in its

allotted proportion. I don’t know who

it was that said this, but I don’t be-

lieve it could have been more aptly

put. When the balance between the

business and the social side is no long-

er perfect something is wrong and

should be corrected.



Therefore, in mentioning the finan-

cial side only, I do not want it under-

stood that I do not believe in other

phases of the work.





Now that prices are much lower on

pure-bred animals and improved seeds,

they can be purchased with less chance

of risking a loss. By becoming a club

member and by starting the work at

such a time several advantages pre-

sent themselves which are lacking lin-

der other conditions, among the most

important of which are as follows:

First, in learning to produce the high-

est in animal form and character with

the least expense. Second, of learning

to economize and to save. Third, ot’

learning to watch carefully your step

before you leap. The boy or girl who

takes up the work under conditions

such as these, has an opportunity

which is lacking when conditions are

normal. They have a molding effect

upon the character of the 'club mem-

ber. It teaches one in such a manner

that he wants to win and become big,

body, mind and spirit.



With these in mind the first sheep

club was recently started here in Ea-

ton county. The club has a large mem-

the leading fur animals of the country.

As a rule skunks are easier trapped

than any other animal and are quite

plentiful in most sections. They should

be protected, however, and not trap-

ped out of season. The mating season

begins in the first part of March. The

young are born in April or May, there

being from four to .ten or‘twelve in a,

litter. '

about half what they would have cost

not in high condition their breeding is

excellent "and the should respond

no doubt will prove to be the founda-

future.



The student of animal husbandry

tells us that 'our leading herds and

prices were low, and also under such

conditions many a business man has

made his “debut.” Simply because

prices, and in some cases profits, are

lower, is not suffi‘éient reason for few:

season, or for club members to become

faint hearted. One of our greatest

beef cattle breeders has said, “If you

wish to succeed as a breeder of im-

proved live stock, have faith and cour-

age in your convictions.”



The boy and the girl who sticks and

holds on to his ideals through victory

and defeat will be the club member

who will succeed.

trap will not freeze to the ground in

cold weather. Set the trap and spread

a light covering over it so that the

ground will look natural, and near the

trap place some bait or scent, and if

there are any skunks in the locality

they are sure to be attracted by the

bait and get caught.



Old cross fences and cross hedges

are good places to set traps for skunks.

a few drops of some good animal bait

sold by most fur companies.



Another good set for skunk is to

make a runway of two logs placed

about six or eight inches apart and





. setting a trap at either end, placing





some “attractor” in the center between

the logs. In Cold weather when a deep

snow is on the ground, skunks will

“den up.” They stay in the den all the





' time, coming out only on warm nights





and few are caught at this time. Most

of the skunks caught are taken at the

entrances of dens, or where they go

under buildings, beneath which they

have their homes. As stated before,

skunks are not suspicious and can be

caught in uncovered traps, but it is

always best to cover the traps as it is





hard telling what kind of animal will





come along.





Beginners often want to know how

to kill a skunk without getting “per-

fumed.” When caught in a steel trap

a skunk seldom throws his scent be-

feroe the trapper approaches, and even

then if he walks slowly and quietly,

stopping when the animals threatens

to throw its perfmne, he can walk

quite close without danger. Then if

he can shootvthe animal in the center

of the back with a small calibre rifle,

or strike it a blow with a small roimd

club so as to break the backbone, this

paralyzes the skunk’s hind quarters

and he cannot throw his. scent. The

skunk should be stretched, pelt side

out, and all fat scraped oft—F. R. T.





MICHIGAN RANKS WELL.





ROBABLY no Other organization is

doing as much for agriculture in

the, way of interesting youngsters in

the problems that arise on the farm

than is the State Boys’ and Girls’ Club

which is headed by Mr. R. A. Turner





'from his office in the Agricultural





Building at M. A. C.



Reports this year show that 16,228

boys and girls took project work of

one kind or another under the direc-

tion of the state club leader and that

of this number 10,986 completed their

job and reported, making a. total of

67.7 per cent who were finishers.



Michigan stands eleventh among the

thirty-three northern and western

states, which are carrying out similar

plans. New Mexico ranked first with

87.8 per cent. In the number of coun-

ty club agents Michigan ranked first

all last year, with twelve, located in

Branch, Calhoun, Cheboygan, Eaton,

Iron, Lenawee, Macomb, Sanilac, Sag-

inaw, Washtenaw, Wayne and Genesee

counties. Since the last report came

out, however, Sanilac and Genesee

have lost their representatives. D. C.





Cavanaugh who was the county club

agent for Sanilac county, is still in the

agricultural field as county agricultur-

al agent of Emmet county—T .

WHAT MILK WILl. Do FOR BoYs

AND olaLs.





 





BY GRETCHEN BIERY.





' ILK is a vital human food. It is

a food for both young and old.A

quart of milk a day for a child is not

too much, and each should have at

least a pint. Plenty of milk gives chil-

dren the chance for health they ought

to have. It helps them to grow, keep

well, and to build strong, vigorous

bodies.

A mother having the responsibility

of the development and nourishment

of an infant should use a quart of

milk a day in order to meet this addi—

tional physical demand.



Milk gives us protein for building the

muscles and other body tissues. It

also gives us lime, which is needed for

our bones and teeth, and for other body

uses.



Protein and lime are also important

in repairing our bones and in muscles

which are used and replaced as a re-

sult of the normal wear and tear of

Our bodies. Well developed muscles

and strong, well formed bones and

teeth are just as essential for a strong

body as are good materials and good

construction for a well-built engine.

Strong, healthy teeth are not only the

signs of health but they also resist

decay.



Milk supplies energy for the needs

of the infant’s body, and adds to the

fuel food of the child and adult. A

baby will double and often treble its

Weight in six months, with no other

food. Almost every one likes to drink





is an eificient food.



Milk is necessary to produce energy,

to promote growth and to maintain

health. Milk is a. protective food, and

as such is in the class of those foods

whose liberal use protects health and

promotes growth. It excels all other

protective foods, being approached in

value only by fresh vegetables, such

as lettuce, spinach, etc. The liberal

use of milk is the best food for main-

taining good health in all individuals,

and for promoting a. rapid, healthy

growth in the young.



Milk is the most excellent food

known because it is a complete food.

It contains 1a1ge quantities of mineral

matter which is lacking in most foods.



Good health demands plenty of milk.

It supplies the body with the neces-

sary materials in exceptionally health

ful and economical form. An abundant

supply of good milk is of national im-

pmtance.





(This is the prize- winning essay in

the Canton, Ohio, milk campaign).





 





NATURE NOTES.





Where does the chickadee nest—M.

Chickadees will accept the abandon-

ed homes of woodpeckers, as well as

natural tree cavities. I believe their

favorite trees are the pitch pine and





' birch. Chickadees also will be satis-





fied with most any sort of nesting box

set out for them. In setting out homes

for them remember to select one in

which the entrance hole is quite small,

or the chickadee may have to fight off

the English sparrow bully.





How many species of swallow tail

butteiflies are there?-—W.





The writer has in her collection

twenty-seven species and I believe that

this number is quite representative of

this genus. The svmllow tails (papil-

ios) are quite the most interesting spe-

cies ’among our butterflies to study.

The tail on their lower wings always

distinguishes them, although there are

some species of swallow tails entirely

without tails. ‘

N his lecture on artificial lights, C.

M. Ferguson brought out, several

points of interest at the Round-up In-

stitute. Lights are useful because they

make the hens exercise and eat more

and spend less time upon the roosts.

Gasoline lanterns have proven satis-

factory for poultry house lighting

where the-re is no electric power.

There is a popular prejudice against

using gasoline for lighting because of

the fire risk, but Mr. Ferguson reports

that he has never heard of a poultry





_house fire from that cause.





The time the lights are used is not

so important but the morning light sys-

tem seems the most satisfactory. The

lights are turned On by an automatic

switch which works with an alarm

clock. By using, lights in the morning

you do not have to stage at twilight or

sunset to get «the birds on the roosts

before all the light is shut ofi.



When using lights the corn in the

ration can be increased. \Vater must

also be furnished early in the morning

as the hens like to drink soon after

coming from the roost. If you have

not a heating device to keep the water

pails from freezing, you can empty the

pails at night and fill them. with clean





R. C. M. FERGUSON, the new

M poultry extension specialist, ap-



peared on the Round-up pro-

gram and delivered some very practi-

cal talks. The first was on the envir-

onmental factors of egg production.

He. advises duplicating spring condi-

tions in winter by furnishing the hens

with grains, grits, greens and grubs.

The following grain ration by weight

is recommended: Corn, two parts;

wheat, one part, and oats, one part.

When the cats are very light they are

less desirable in the ration. Cracked

corn is better than whole corn as it is

more easily digested.



A good standard mash consists of

twenty pounds each of bran, middlings,~

corn, oats and tankage or meat scrap.

Good high—grade .tankage is considered

as desirable as meat meal or beef scrap.

Sunflower seed is good at moulting

time. Sour milk is an‘easily digested

form of protein but alternating from

sour milk to sweet milk may cause

digestive disorders. If you have plenty

of milk the beef scrap in the dry mash

can be reduced to ten per cent as too

much forcing is bad.





The symptoms of excessive protein

feeding are congested. liver and the

bird becomes dumpy and may die.

Green ground bone is used as a poul-

try feed but contains considerable

fibre.



Green feed is necessary in winter.

Fresh mangels may cause scouring if

fed too liberally at first, -but can be

worked in gradually with success.

Sprouted oats are the best green feed.

Here is a sprouting method recom-

mended by Mr. Ferguson: Soak the

cats ina sack in a barrel for twenty-

four hours. The second day take them

out and drain for one day. Some heat

is generated to help germination. The

next day dump the cats on the floor

and shovel them over to let in the air.

The next day spread the cats out on

the floor to a depth of a couple of inch-

es and splinkle them several times

each day. If the temperature in the

room is about seventy degrees there

should be sprouts in about fourvdays.



09.135 that are sprouted too long may

cause crop-bound birds. A length of

one inch is about right. Home-grown

cats are better for sprouting than the

snow. Experiments have been made

which proves the feeding of snow pre-

vents wattle freezing. Wattle freezing

is more serious than comb freezing as

the sore wattles hit on the dry mash

hopper and may keep the bird from

eating enough mash.



Twenty per- -cent to forty per cent

moi ease in egg production has fre-

quently been made through the use of

lights. But the increase for the whole

year is only about one per cent. With

lights the natural season of heavy

production is moved forward when

eggs are high. Lights work the best

with pullets and it is just as well not

to use them'with hens intended for

breeding stock. Keeping the lights on

a short time in the evening seems'ben-

eficial to early hatched chicks.



Mr. Ferguson states that the use of

lights did not seem to injure the hatch-





ability of eggs although heavy forcing-

with protein seems to produce that-





result. Turning off the lights sudden-

ly may produce a moult, although turn-

ing on the lights never brings abdut

that condition. To avoid the moult it

pays to leave the lights on in the

spring until the hours of dark and day

are about equal.





Increasing the Egg Yield





M r. C. M. Ferguron Reflr: to Some Errentz'd/J





but not an ideal green feed. Cut al-

falfa is not as succulent as sprouted

oats. Sugar beets are good feed. Car-

rots are more fibrous than mangels.



Salt is not necessary in poultry feed

but .half a pound to 500 pounds of

mash seems to improve the flavor. A

little charcoal is good for the diges-

tive tract as an absorbent. oyster

shells are necessary to make strong

egg shells, and grit as a grinding ma.-

terial is very important.



In feeding scratch grain it is best

to give about one-fourth in the morn-

ing and three-fourths at night. This

keeps the birds hungry in the morning

so they will eat more of the mash con-

taining animal protein. The results

from dry mash seem as good as from

wet mash. If wet mash is used it

should be given at noon. Mr. Ferguson

says that hens do not need water if

they have plenty of milk.



A southern "exposure is best for the

hen house. It should not be in a low

place where air drainage is lacking

and fog will settle about the house, or

on the highest hill where there is too

much exposure to the wind.



A sandy loam is the best soil about

a hen. house.

sub-soil that is easily drained. On a.

heavy soil there is greater danger of

contamination. The poultry house

floor is of great importance. The earth

floor is cheapest but must be dry and

it may become dusty or‘ damp and is

hard to clean. The board floor is the

dryest and warmest but should have a

concrete foundation to keep out rats.

In making a concrete floor it pays to

build it up on coarse field stone or

cinders to prevent dampness. Then

place strips of roofing paper in the co-

ment and it makes a moisture-proof

floor. On the cement floor it is'possl-

ble to do thorough cleaning.



The use of a straw loft in a poultry

house helps to prevent damp condi-

tions. Such houses are cooler in the

summer and warmer in winter. Hol-

low tile is considered a better material

for poultry house walls than cement,

but not as dry as lumber.

What causes chiCkens to get a bluish

comb and die within the second day?

What is good for it?——.Reader.





When hens get a dark comb and

die within a short time it is apt

to be due to liver trouble. This is

often, due to errors in feeding or lack

of exercise and, of course, might occur





given the best of ‘care. It cannot be





A cured as the symptoms are not evident





until the bird is very sick. In all such

oases-it pays to perform a postmortem

as the examination of the internal or-

gans may be of value in determining

the cause of death.





 





EYES SWELL SH UT.





 





What can I do for chickens when

their eyes swell shut? It seems they

are all fight every othei way. Do you

know what to do for them?—-J. R.





When chickens’ eyes swell shut it

is usually due to inflammation caused

by colds. The birds should be treated

in the first stage. Isolate sick birds

to prevent the t1ouble from spreading.

Remove as much of the exudation as

possible inll‘l around the eye udth ab-

smbent paper. Rub the head with

camphorated vaseline and press some

of the salve into the nostrils.



A mild solution of permanganate of

potassium can be Sprayed into the nos-

trils of a bird with a simple cold. Often

the cure is. easy if treatment is given

before the condition becomes chronic.

Dusty litter or damp, draughty houses

are causes of colds. Preventing such

conditions is better than curing them.





SICK COCKEREL.





 





 





For some time one of my large bleed-

ed roosters has had what seems to be

a cold. There is no discharge from

the case, and eyes do not water or

matter. Just seems to be in throat, a

wheezing sound. I also found out in

my coop this morning another one of

the large masters so weak he could

not stand. Seems to be all right other-

wise, but his legs give way under him

when he tries to stand. I think it is

caused from too close confinement dur-

ing the winter. Will you kindly tell

me what the trouble is, and if there is

a remedy for either fowl ?—C. K.





The rooster with the wheezing or

ratling in the throat probably has

bonchitis. A tablespoonful of castor

oil miked with ten drops of turpentine

can be given to the bird and it may





why a chicken with a cold should not

recover. Such cases should be isolat-

ed in a dry well-ventilated place. When

bronchitis becomes chronic the bird

weakens and a cure is difficult.

Rapidly growing cockerels may have

leg weakness because their weight

seems to outgrow their strength. The

condition can usually be prevented by

furnishing a balanced ration and plen-

ty of exercise. Close confinement in

the winter might cauSe such a condi-

tion in a cockerel, especially if the ra-

tion contained plenty of corn but lack-

ed in bone and muscle-making material.





MARKET POU LTRY.





 





Which breed of chickens grow the

largest and which are best for mar-

ket?-M. L.





The Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks

and Rhode Island Reds are considered

ideal fowls because they mature rapid-

ly and make two or three pound broil-

ers at an early age. The surplus old

stock also sell more rapidly than Leg-

horns. The Asiatic breeds like the

Brahmas and Cochins grow larger than

the American breeds but they mature

more slowly and so are not as desir-

able a market fowl.



A light colored fowl is usually better

than one with dark pin feathers. There

is 'no difference in the quality of the

meat but white pin feathers do not

show prominently on the carcass. The

yellow-skinned varieties are also pop-

ular and this is found in breeds like

Tourist Association, for the purpose of

boosting the entire coast resorts from

Detroit to Mackinaw. The affiliations

of this much needed association with

the bureau is a distinct step forward,

and means that, with the overhead ex-

pense carried by the bureau, practical-

ly every dollar raised to advertise the

resorts will be expended for that pur-

pose. When additional oflice help is

needed to carry on this part of the

work, the new association will pay

that cost. '





The new association was organized

at Port Huron, December 16, with the

following officers: D. Mihlethaler,

president; F. Holmes, vice-president;

Robert Rayburn, vice-president; J. E.

Wallace, Jr., vice-president, and T. F.

Marston, secretary-treasurer. The or-

ganization committee consists of: E.

L. Dixon, Detroit; Fred Holmes, Mar-

ine City; W. ‘J. Potts, Forestville;

Mike Meyers, Lexington; J. P. Mugan,





Port Sanilac; D. Mihlethaler, Harbor





Beach; R. Eilber, Port Hope; J. E.

Wallace, Jr., Port Austin; Harvey Dix-

on, Port Huron; W. G. MacEdward,

Bay City; F. W. Kinde, Bay Port; C.

D. Thompson, Bad Axe, and George E.

English, Bad Axe.



The rapid development of the resort

business on the Huron shore .and the

interior lakes and streams calls for

concerted action of all counties east

of the Michigan meridian, and those

publicity forces that promote 'settle-

ment of the land. That the work of

advertising the summer resorts can\ be

better carried on by the administration

force of the bureau is not questioned,

(Continued from page 224).

pression she had had when singing

with him the night before. She drove

on—or rather let the horse take them

on—for a few moments during which

neither spoke. They had come about

a bend in the road, and the great

house of her father loomed ahead. A

motor whizzed past, coming from be-

hind. It was only Avery’s car on the

way home; but Harriet had jumped a

little in memory of the day before, and

her companion’s head had turned

quickly toward the car. - She looked up

at him swiftly; his lips were set and

his eyes gazed steadily ahead after Av-

ery, and he drew a little away from

her. A catch in her breath—almost an

audible gasp—I—surprised her, and she

fought a warm impulse which had all

but placed her hand on his.



“Will you tell me something, Miss

Santoine?” he asked suddenly.



“What?”



“I suppose, when I was with Mr. Av-

ery this afternoon, that if I attempted

to escape. he and the chauffeur would

have combined to detain me. But on

the way back here—did you assume





had my parole not to depart?”





“No,” she said. “1.. don’t believe

Father depended entirely on that.”



“You mean that he has made ar-

rangements so that if I—exceeded the

directions given me, I would be pick-

ed up?”



“I don’t know exactly what they are,

but you may be sure that they are

made if they are necessary.”





“Thank you,” Eaton acknowledged.



She was silent for a moment,

thoughtful. “Do you mean that you

have been considering this afternoon

the possibilities of escape?”



“It would be only natural for me to

do that, would it not?" he parried.



“NO.” ,



“Why not?”



“I don’t mean that you might not try

to exceed the limits Father has set for

you; you might try that, and of course

you would be prevented. But you Win

not” (she hesitated, and when she went

on she was quoting her father)—"sac-

riflce your position here.”



“Why not?”



“Because you tried to gain it——or——-

or if not exactly that, at least you had

some object in wanting to be near

Father which you have not yet gain-

ed.” She hesitated once more, not

looking at him. Her words were un-

convincing to herself; that morning,

when her father had’ spoken them,

they had been quite convincing, but

since this afternoonshe was no longer

sure of their truth. What it was that

had happened during the afternoon she

could not make out; instinctively, how-

ever, she felt that it’ has so altered

Eaton’s relations with them that now

he might attempt to escape.





They had reached the front of the

house, and a groom sprang to take the

horse. She let Eaton help her down:

as they entered the house, Avery-who

had reached the house only a few mo-

ments before themjwas still in the

hall. And again she was startled in

the meeting of the two men by Avery’s

triumph and the swift flare of defiance

on Eaton’s face.





As she went up to her apartments,

her maid met her at the door.



Mr. Santoine wishes you to dine with

him, Miss Santoine,” the maid an-

nounced.



“Very well,” she answered.



She changed from her afternoon

dress slowly. As she did so she

brought swiftly in review the events

of the day. Chiefly it was to the polo

practice and to Eaton’s dismay at his

one remarkable stroke that her mind

went. Had Donald Avery seen some'

thing in that which was not plain to

herself?

SCRUBBING MlLKING MACHINES

DOES NOT KILL BACTERIA.

DAIRY experts are constantly call-



ed upon to explain why apparent-

ly clean milking machines so often

«give milk with a. high germ content

which is very annoying to the man

who is trying to produce high-grade

milk. This condition is due, says the

Geneva Experiment Station experts, to





the fact that even though the machine

may be scrubbed and~ as thoroughly





 





there are many places which may ha‘r-

bor bacteria that later contaminate

the freshly-drawn milk passing through

the machine.



These bacteria, it is asserted, must

be killed, and it is pointed out that

two methods are giving the best re-

sults at present. The usual procedure

after cleaning the machine is to place

the tubes and teat-cups in a sterilizing

solution, usually a strong brine. Some

dairymen use commercial hypochlorite

solutions, but these soon lose their

strength and fail to sterilize the tubes.

The addition of hypochlorite to the

brine is said to give satisfaction as

the hypochlorite sterilizes the brine.



Placing the tubes in water and heat-

ing to 160 to 170 degrees F. also kills

all the bacteria, but the rubber parts

of most milking machines soon dete-

riorate with this treatment.



‘Passing a stream of cold water

through the tubes continuously has

been found to‘ give some satisfaction

through checking the growth of the

bacteria.



Directions for cleaning milking ma.-

chines issued by the Geneve Experi-‘

ment Station emphasize the import-

ance of cleaning the milker tubes be-

fore placing them in the sterilizing

solution; releasing the air from the

tubes so that the solution can reach

all parts; the use of brine as a basis

for the sterilizing solution; and

cleaning the stanchion hose and check

valves on the pail lids in OIder to pre-

vent leakage back into the machine

rom the air line.



The station investigators find-that

it is a relatively simple matter to pro-

duce continuously milk containing few

bacteria with any of the standard

makes of milkers, provided certain

very simple details in the cleaning

process are cared for each day. Rec-

ordg showing that this can be done by

ordinary dairymen now extend over

five and six years of continuous ob-

servation.





'HUNTING SLACKER COWS IN

‘ the fact that there are some good cows

in Antrim county.





It goes without saying that the twen-

ty-two members of this association

know more about their dairy herds

than a year ago and it speaks for the

progressiveness of the dairymen of An-

trim county when they are willing to

make the considerable effort necessary

to operate an association under their-





'«conditions, their herds being small and





far apart. They realize the necessity

for knowing the productive ability of

the individual cow in their herds be-





 





' fore they can expect to dairy profits .





cleaned as other milk utensils, still'





Many agreeable surprises and some

not so agreeable have been experienc-

ed by the members during the year

when the production of their cows was

set down in black and .white from .

month to month. The association

with the help‘ of County Agent L. L.

Drake has reorganized .for another

year and will continue with practically

the same members under the supervis‘

ion of E. W. Fox.



The twenty- -two members in this as-.

sociatibn kept an average total of 170

cOws during the past year. These cows -

gave an aggregate of 910,744 pounds 013

milk and the average test was 4.65 per

cent of fat. - The quantity of butter

produced was 42,3842 pounds and the

value of feed for the herds was $8,984.

The average yield of milk per cow was

5,357.3 pounds and the, average cost of

feed was $52.85, while the feed cost

per 100 pounds of milk was $0.98 and

for a pound of butter-fat $0.211 The

average receipts for 100 pounds of milk

was $1.77 and for butter-fat $0.38. The

income per cow above cost of feed was

$41.80. In these herds there were so;-

enty-five cows producing over 250

pounds of fat and thirty-six giving

over 300 pounds of fat; while fifteen

gave over 350 pounds and three over

400 pounds.





The Leading Animals in the Associa-

tion.



Readers will be interested in know-

ing what the best animals in this asso-

ciation are doing. A grade Holstein

owned by Miss Lula Roberts stood first

in milk production with 8,571 pounds.

The best butter cow was a grade Jer-

sey owned by Lewis T. Hick‘in, this

animal producing 440.7 pounds of fat.

Gust Schuler has the honor of Owning

the most efficient milker, she produc-

ing milk at fifty-one cents per cwt.

The cow was a grade Holstein. He also

has a record for producing butter at

twelve cents per pound, this also from

a grade Holstein.



Charles W. Fox feeds the cow which

returned the largest income over cost

of feed, the amount being $95.85, and

his herd was the best net profit pro-

ducer giving an average above feed

cost of $58.24. The herd record for

fat was 321.6 per cow for the animals

owned by W. J. Hoopfer, and for milk

7,079 pounds. as the average for the

herd of Miss Lula Roberts.



There are seven pure-bred bulls in

the association and five grade bulls. Of

cows fourteen pure-breds are owned.

Three cows failed to produce enough

to pay for their keep.





 





NEW HOLSTEIN CALl= CLUB MAN.

CARL J. COOPER, assistant state



club leader of Wisconsin, has been

employed by the Holstein-Friesian As-

sociation of America to take charge of

their calf club work under the direc-

tion of President Lowden. Mr. Cooper

is a graduate of the College of Agricul-

ture of the University of Wisconsin.

Since finishing his course in 1916 he

has been engaged in furthering live

stock club work, working for the great-

er part of this time on dairy calf clubs

exclusively His fine showing in county

club work and agricultural high school

work induced the Wisconsin Extension

Department three years ago to appoint

him assistant state club leader. spe-

cializing on dairy calf clubs.



Mr. Cooper is farm raised and knows

in a supermr degree the method of or-

ganizlng and carrying to a. successful

conclusion calf club projeCts. He will

begin his duties March 15, making his i

headquarters in the Extensm’n Gaines l

'a fair share of the value of his prod-

ucts. And- this is aggravated by prac-

tices of under-grading, overcharging

for services, and under-payment. The

theory of my'belief is that the farmer

should be put on an equal footing with

the man who buys. his products."



Mr. Hoover, in an address before

the Kansas State Board of -Agricul~

ture on "Farmers' Problems” stated

that “our marketing system today in

certain commodities is extravagant, it

is wasteful, and it imposes great pen-

alty upon the farmer.” On the ques-

tion of monopoly Hr. Hoover remarked

in this address: “My own opinion is

that price can not be controlled in a.

long term of years by any form of

organization. It can, however, be in-

fluenced toward the elimination of in-

termediate fluctuation. and speculation





. can be greatly eliminated.”





 

 

   





Net seeking Special Favors.



In clearing the way for farm co-

operation the agricultural bloc is not

seeking to give a special advantage to

the farmer over other industrialists,

but to open the way for the farmer to

adopt a plan of industrial organiza-

tion as suited to the conditions of his

industry, as the corporation is suited

to others. Other measures to which

the so-called farm bloc has given its

sanction include the Capper-Tincher

anti-grain gambling bill already en‘

acted into law. This is a measure, not





for class legislation. but of correction





of abuses on grain exchanges. It

abolishes the practice of “puts” and

“calls." condemned by grain exchanges

themselves and many years ago pro.

hibited in their own rules. But the

main provisions of the bill give the

secretary of agriculture power to in-

vestigate and report any suspected

'manipulation of the grain market, to

check the books of market operators,

and to prescribe rules for boards of

trade. Other measures included are

Senator Dial’s anti-cotton gambling

bill, bills regulating cold storage and

providing control of the packing in-

dustry. the Capper-French truth in

fabrics bill—applying to fabrics provi-

sions similar to those of the pure food

act—and bills creating more liberal

banking credit. particularly personal

credit on crops and farm machinery,

making such paper more easily dis-

countable.



Of these measures the only one sus-

ceptible to the accusation of “class

legislation" is the last, since it does

attempt to enlarge the banking credit

of agriculture. People in cities or en-

gaged in mercantile. manufacturing,

brokerage or other business associated

with cities are not aware of the ex-

tent to which bank credit has been

evolved with relation to the needs

specifically of such industries, and the





‘extent to which the evolution of bank





credit has overlooked the peculiar con.

ditions of agriculture.

Not Devlsed for Farmer.



Commercial paper is the key of

banking credit. Credit machinery and

facilities have accommodated them-

selves to the needs of commercial and

manufacturing business. Since this

business ordinarily has a turnover

measured in weeks, bank credit has

adapted itself to such periods of dura-

tion and renewal. We have the thirty

day,.sixty day._and at most ninety day





note, and this arrangement perfectly





suits commercial business. In fact,





that is the reason we have it. It does





not Suit farming business, yet this

fact, has. not in the least modified the

practice. demonstrating conclusively

that bank credit does not concern it-





, self Seriously. with the industry of the

mum of the world’s food supply.

Reasons for the Farm Bloc





(Continued from page 212).





to agriculture, but regards commercial

and manufacturing business only. The

banks have mainly concerned them-

selves with supplying the credit needs

of “business,” in which farm business

is not consciously included. But even

so, the banks have not adequately met

the need of commercial business. This

appears by the development of one

auxiliary credit organization after an-

other We have the discount com-

panies or commercial credit companies

that buy accounts receivable of mer-

chants and manufacturers to increase

mercantile and manufacturing work-

ing capital. These modern institutions

of very recent creation now do an'ex-

tensive business of auxiliary banking

for the benefit of business ,in cities.

0t recent origin. too. are the commer-

cial banking departments of trust com-

panies, under more liberal regulation

than banks, created to meet the de-

mands of commercial and manufactur-

ing industry. And finally we have

the commercial paper houses. Accord-

ing to Prof. H. G. Moulton, of Chicago

University, in his book recently from

the press, “The Financial Organiza-

tion of Society,” these last did a busi-

ness in 1919 of upwards of $4,000,000,-

000. They are an extension of the

facilities of bank credit for the spe.

cial benefit of merchants and menus

facturers, and their particular func-

tion is to find the widest market, often

even in the small county or farm

bank. for the paper of great commer-

cial houses.



But where do we see any extension

of bank credit that helps the farmer

finance his business?

the highest interest rate for working

capital. not because his credit is

naturally inferior to that of commer-

cial business, but because-the banking





system has grown up in places and‘





under conditions remote from those of

farm industry.

To Fill Credit Gap.



It is not the purpose of the agricul-

tural bloc in the banking credit meas~

ures they advocate, to supply the

farmer with a more generous line of

credit than other industries, but to fill

the wide gap that has existed between

his industry and the credit that all

other industry enjoys. It is merely

a belated effort to meet a profound

need of agriculture. The purpose of

the credit bills is to create banking

facilities for the farmer adjusted to

the times and seasons of his need, not

to give credit where credit is not war-

ranted. The bills provide for ample

security for any credit the farmer

asks, but they take notice of the long-

er period of his business turnover both

as to crops and as to live stock. The

farmer in the past has had the credit

facilities only of the little country

bank. The agricultural bloc was in-

strumental in obtaining the enactment

of the agricultural credit bill, through

which a. .maximum of 31.000.000.000

credit may be extended to farm loan

organizations and to banks and trust

companies making loans to farmers,

and through which the War Finance

Corporation may make advances not

exceeding one year to producers or

dealers in the event of a market glut.

and may advance credit to any c00per-

ative association, bank or trust com‘

pany which has advanced funds for

agricultural purposes, as well as credit—

for the breeding, fattening and- mar-

keting of live stock.

HOG RAISING A'SOUND FARM

ENTERPRISE.





 





IN spite of the enormous reduction



in wealth and the drastic cut in the

price of swine that has taken place

since 1918, it is undoubtedly true, says

the United States Department of Ag-

riculture, that the raising of hogs is as

sound an enterprise today as at any





it is just as important as ever to give

the best of attention to the health of

the herd. Cholera and other diseases

will kill cheap hogs as quickly as those

that represent more dollars and cents.



But a large number of hogs and a

high price‘ does not mean necessarily

that profits are higher. In fact, a study

of the figures shows that‘the returns

were better this past fall than they

were at the high point in August, 1919.

Figured on the basis of the'number of

” bushels of corn represented by the





price paid for 100 pounds of hog, the

ratio for that month when farm prices

for hogs and corn were used was 10.2,

and when Chicago market prices were

used," 8.9. In other words, in the coun-





the same country price as 10.2 bushels

of corn and at Chicago as much as 8.9

bushels. -



In November, 1921, the ratio; based

on Chicago prices, was 15.2, and on

‘ country‘prices approximately 16.2. The

quantity of corn used in making one

hundred pounds of pork varies under

different conditions and‘feeders, but is

probably about ten bushels. It is,

therefore, apparent that the profits in

November were considerably better

than at the time when the highest

prices were being paid for hogs. Or,

at any rate, it paid better to feed corn

to hogs last fall than it. did when pric-

es were at the peak.





 





 





HOW TENANT AND L’ANDLORD

MAY DIVIDE PROFITS.





HE following is a reply to a letter

from A. I. Brown, of Calhoun coun-

ty, regarding the terms of a farm

lease. The common practice on a. live

stock farm where the land owner fur-

nishes one-half of the stock and the

renter furnishes the tools and teams,

is to feed the team and stock out of

the undivided crops and to divide the

live stock products equally. Usually

the renter furnishes all the labor and

the board for the farm hands. The

renter also furnishes enough clover

seed to seed as many acres of hay as

he plows up each spring. The above

plan assumes that practically all the

crops are marketed through the live

stock. ‘

On a general crop farm the landlord

furnishes the land and the tenant the

labor, tools and team and feeds them

outof his share. The landlord re-

ceives one-third of the grain and one-

half of the hay.





There is another plan for grain

farming which is somewhat in vogue

around Lansing. It is fox-the landlord

to: furnish the land and the tenant the

labor and tools. The landlord’furnish-;

lug. one-half of the seed and

Indigestion—Pigs, four months old,

bloat; are fed corn and cats, but they

bloat and refuse to grow. J. 8., Bravo,

Mich—Give baking soda. ginger and

wood charcoal in their feed.



RIngwerm.——-I have a two-year-old

heifer; around its eyes is a ring or

held patch, another spot on back. J.

0., Fair Grove, Mich—Apply iodine

ointment daily; you can get it at the

drug store. ' ‘



Indigestion—J have an unthrifty

horse which I believe has indigestion.

W. D., Birch Run, Mich—Increase and

change his food supply, give him a ta-

blespoonful of powdered gentian in

ground feed three times daily.





Chronic Udder Trouble.—Last year

I had. trouble in getting milk from one

quarter of cow’s udder. Lately she

came fresh and has same ailment. I

fail to find any lumps in bag. The milk

comes so slow. H. E. Spencer, Mich.

~—Use milking tube. but be sure it is

clean, boiling for‘fifteen minutes each

time before it is used will prevent ud-

der infection. Don’t forget to do it.





Blood in the Milk.——~I have a cow

that gives small clots of blood from

one quarter of bag with the milk, but

so far as I can tell, there are no

bunches in teat or quarter. H. 8., War-

ren, Mich—To milk her with care is

about all that can be done for her.

An open blood vessel must be allowed

to heal.



Failure to Come in Heat—My five-

year—old cow came fresh last October;

since then she has not been in heat.

C. W. D., Delton, Mich.——-Yohimbine is

the best known remedy, but rather ox-

pensive. Give her one dram ground

nux vomica, two drams of ground cap-

sicum at a dose in feed two or three

times a day. Keep her warm, and feed

plenty of grain.



Mange.—-Both of my horses are trou-

bled with skin disease which causes

itching of skin. My well horse stands

in stable between them; is he in dan-

ger? W. J. 1-1., Gregory, Mich.——-If you

have warm stable it might be a good

plan to clip them. Apply one part

lysol and fifty parts water to itchy

parts daily.



Cattle Cough—Have seven head of

cows, everyone of them cough more

or less, a scurvy condition of the

skin near tall, but they don’t itch. G.

W., Stanton, Mich—Give your cows

equine. cough syrup (P. D. & 00.),

three times a day. Apply one part

oxide of zinc and five parts petrolatum

to scurvy spots daily. Perhaps a thor-

ough washing with soap and water first

Will help them.



Paralysis.——My five-month-old pigs

have had no particular use of their

hind legs for the past five weeks, but

they eat and drink as well; as ever.

P. D., Copemish, Mich—Feed clover,

alfalfa and roots with their grain. Mix

equal parts of salt, limestone and raw

bone meal together and feed them

plenty. Keep the pigs dry, clean and

warm and their bowels open.





Ovarian Cysts.—Jersey cow came

fresh fourteen monthhs ago; has been

bred several times to different bulls,

but fails to get with calf. Formerly

she came in heat every week, now she

is in heat nearly all. the time. She

has no discharge, has failed to react to

tuberculin test. J. W. A., Pontiac,

Mich—The only treatment which will

prove fairly successful is crushing the

ovarian cysts through rectum by hand,

then she may get with calf.- An expe-

rienced veterinarian or dairyman who

has ‘been schooled to do this work

should be employed.



Sick Pig—Necrobacillosis.—One 'of

my DurocJersey pigs wheezes at .ev-

ery breath, sickness developed when it

was four weeks old; he fails to grow.

was born May 25 and only weighs 100

pounds, hind quarters are weak. The

mother was bred to her father? Has

that cause this pig’s sickness? Has

this pig got tuberculosis? P. L.,Buck-

ley, Mich—This pig may have necrotic

rhinitis, commonly termed sniflles; if

so it is incurable. If it has tubercu-

losis the throat glands may be affected

causing difl‘icult breathing; this dis-

ease is also incurable. Inbreeding had





littleto do with your pig’s ailment. All





 





things nsidered, you had better kill

WHEAT





The carryover in the wheat surplus

countries at the end of the last crop

year was about 100,000,000 bushels

more than normal. The crop produced

in the past year, as well as this extra

carryover, is expected to disappear

into consumption before the present

crop year is out. If this possibility is

realized, increased production will be

necessary during the coming crop year

in order to supply the world’s demand.

It is this angle of the situation which

makes the low condition of new winter

Wheat in the southwest such an ex-

tremely serious matter. No relief has

arrived in that section thus far and

growing weather can be expected soon

which will be followed by numerous

damage reports. The domestic demand

for flour increased slightly when the

Wheat market became a runaway af-

fir, but thus far the consumers in this

country show no especial alarm.





CORN





Aside from the advance in prices

into new high ground, the corn mar-

ket developed no new features during

this past week. Receipts at primary

markets continue enormous, the do-



‘ mestic demand is exceptionally broad

and sales and clearances far above the

average are noted in the export trade.

The Argentine surplus of old corn has

practically all been moved abroad and



. it is a number of weeks before the new

crop in that country will be ready for





harvest.

OATS





Export demand for oats has shown

signs of life but the rate of distribu-

' tion from primary markets is disap-r

pointing. Unofficial reports indicate a.

shortage of 150,000,000 bushels in the

supply of oats for the rest of the crop

‘year but primary receipts have been

large enough to belie the reports of

light farm holdings and the visible

.. supply is almost as large a mountain

has it ever was. Some oats surplus sec~

lions are said to have oversold and an

increase in the rate of distribution

”from primary markets is probable dur-

ing the next five months.

POULTRY AND EGGS





The egg market declined during the

past week and opinion in the trade is

unanimous that lower prices areon

the horizon. Holders are inclined to

push sales at concessions if necessary

while buyers are filling only their most

pressing needs, expecting to be able to

purchase cheaper later on. Quotations

on eggs for March and April delivery

are considerably below current prices.

A year ago at this time the spring in-

crease in production was already quite

marked so that receipts at the four

leading cities at the present time are

running lighter than they were last

year. The supply during January ran

considerably ahead of January, 1921,

but February receipts have fallen be-

hind more than enough to offset the

January gain so that the total for the,

year to date is lighter than in the cor-

responding period of 1921. ‘

BUTTER





Butter dealersare operating on a

cautious basis as they expect lower

prices later on. Production has begun

to increase again and there is a liberal

supply of cold storage butter which

holders are pushing on the market as

fast as it can be absorbed. Butter from

sections which had been shipping to

eastern markets was diverted to Chi-

cago last week by relatively high

prices at that point so that the leading

cities were restored to a normal par-

ity. Some New Zealand and Australian

butter is *said to be afloat for San

Francisco but no Danish butter was

purchased during the last week as the

quotations on that market were above

an import basis. The southern hem-

isphere is past the flush season and

the English market is firmer recently

and is absorbing more of the foreign

offerings. ,



Prices for 92-score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 361750; New York

380. In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs

is quoted at 34@341;§c.





DETROIT CITY MARKET





Mild weather brought buyers out in

good numbers and produce moved

freely. Parsnips and carrots were the

favorites with the buyers the past

week. Apples‘ sold for $1.50@2.75;

potatoes $1.15@1.25; parsnips $1.50@

Eggs—Fresh 32@33c.





HORSES





Although farm chunk trade from the

eastern states is picking up, there is

'no' urgent buying and receipts have

enlarged sufficiently to keep the mar-

ket relatively weak. City buyers are

taking very few heavy horses because

of sluggish industrial conditions, al-

though an 'occasipnal choice drafter

brings as much as $275 at Chicago.

camouflage and promises, on Fourth

of July oratory extolling 11m loyalty,

his 111de. his patience, and his 5-

’ delity to his job. He is weary of. hear-

ing that he is the “backbone” of the

country, its “bone and sinew,” only to

‘be forgotten when business is to be

done and results harvested. He is

asking for a square deal and equal

treatment and consideration with

others, for the right to act in coopera-

tion and to handle his products through

to their ultimate market, with ade-

quate credit facilities. Oratorically

the farmer has been well treated.

Practically his needs have been neg-

lected by those who have mafie the

laws and the modern machinery of

the industrial order. He has awak-

ened to his own situation. When the

after-war collapse occurred it was the

farmer who was without the organi-

zation and machinery to protect him-

self, and he saw his precincts made the

football of. speculation and gambling.

be hailed with joy than viewed with

mote the primary industry of food

production might well be regarded as

of: the common good, rather than as

class legislation and a menace.

Nobody can impartially study the

history of agriculture and Conclude

that it has not been sorely neglected.

It has "just growed.” PM a century





and a half, nearly everything we have .





done, every system we have mtrived





in marketing, transportation and bank- -





ing, has been built to fit the develop-

ment, happiness, and profit of city life.

A department of agriculture and a

few agricultural colleges have been





regarded as meeting our obligations to '





agriculture. And so they would, if

all that agriculture needed was advice.





But it needs to grow and prosper in ,





organized efliciency like the rest of

the modern, highly organized world.

Many Farmers Solvent.





In central 'Illinois the heart of the f

in the last year than in many preced-

ing years together. One of the most

successful and respected farmers in

the United StateshJ. R. Howard, presi-

dent of the American Farm Bureau

Federation, has declared. that 1,500,000

of the 6,000,000 flamers of the country

are today insolvent. Agriculture is

sick. The measures supported by the

agricultm'al bloc are not proposals to

give the farmer something for nothing,





nor are they class legislation. They;





are the remedies urged by economists

and students of agriculture, and above

all by the farmers themselves, to 111)-

See the way this ring has worn and weak-

the straps, no rings to wear them. '
