CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





Good seed is the rock foundation of

a good crop.





Remember, fertile fields are not





made in a day.





The 500,000 scrub sires in the United

States are about a half million too

many. , .





Another thing greatly needed is

schools for developing fellowship as

well as leadership.





The good“ farmer is one of the most

capable, industrious and steadfast of

men and the day society in general

recognizes this we shall mark the be-

ginning of another epoch.





N page eight of

this issue will be

found a chart illus-

trating the recovery

of prices for farm

products since the low

point of last year. The extent of the

encouragement to be gathered from

this improvement is emphasized by a

comparison of present prices for farm

staples with pre-war prices for the

same commodities. Such a comparison

is afforded by current quotations at

this writing and quotations from our

first March issue in 1914. The first

price noted is the current quotation in

this market, the second is for the even

date in 1914:

.AWheat, $1.48, 980; corn, 65@67, 63@

65c; oats, 42c, 41%0; rye, $1.05, 670;

«beans, $3.72, $2; potatoes, $1.30, 60@

650; butter, creamery, 34@350, 28@

300; eggs, 27c, 27c; poultry, live, 25@

300, 17@18c; cattle, top, $7.25, $8; veal

calves, $13@14, ' $10@11. 50; lambs,

$15. 25@15. 50, $7. 65@7. 75; hogs $10. 85,

$8. 60.



Expressed in percentage this in-

crease in prices as compared with 1914

isquite as imposing as is the chart

'rbove referred to, especially in view of

the fact that some of the most notable

comparisons are for products which

are important factors of production on

Michigan farms. For example, wheat

is forty—six per cent higher than in

1914; rye, fifty-six per cent higher;

beans, eighty-six per cent higher; 110.

tatoes, 100 per cent higher; poultry,

veal calves,

and lambs 100

These comparative figures are also

an index of future prospects as indi-

cated by present conditions of supply

and demand, and as such should be of

some value in the planning of next

season’s production campaign.





HAT transporta-



The Trans-l . tion economy IS a

. prime factor 1n the

portatton determination of agri-

Problem cultural prosperity in





. America is a fact

which cannot be successfully contro

verted. American agriculture has out-

stripped all competitors in its remark-

able development of production per

man, through the introduction of eco-

nomic methods of production, and this

economic evolution in our greatest sin-

gle industry has facilitated an indus-

trial development 'quite as remarkable

and as trulyAmerican in character.

And this wonderful, coordinate devel-

opment of agriculture and industry

has made the United States, the great-

est and most prosperous country in

the world in a comparatively brief

period of time.



Because of the extent of our country

and the wide area involved in the de-

velopment of our agriculture, trans-

portation has been, and still is, one to

the greatest problems, and probably

the greatest problem, in its economic

development and prosperous mainte-

nance. The opportune invention and





development of steam transportation,





made the rapid expansion of American

agriculture possible. Our broad coun-

try was quickly covered with a net-

work of railroads by the aid of local

and government subsidies through the

contribution of money and land, result-

ing in a phenomenally rapid develop-

ment of both agriculture and'indvustry

from coast to coast and from lakes to





‘ gulf and an equally phenomenal pros-





perity of both agriculture and indus-

try during a long period of develop-

ment and expansion.



gDuring thisperiod of development,

expansion, and unprecedented prosper-

ity the countiy was scarcely conscious

of the impending seriousness of its

transportation problem which begun

~to loom in importance before the war,

with the coming of which it at once

became one of our most serious nation-

al problems and so remains at the

present time. Changed economic con-

ditions have forced rail transportation

ratesto a point which seriously threat-





,commensurate with the present level

of prices for farm commodities.

tire dependence upon rail transporta-

tion by a great agricultural industry

such as we have deveIOped in this

country is a new experiment on a gi-

gantic scale. From present indications

it is not yet beyond the experimental

stage, hence the fact that the trans-

portation problem remains as one of

our great national problems.





This situation makes it most import-

ant that the proposed‘Lakes to Sea

water-way be given the early and care:

fulconsideration which it merits as a

'possible partial solution of this prob-

lem. Our export trade in farm prod-





ucts is an important factor in agriculU

\





tural prosperity. This development

would bring'a direct water route to

foreign ports almost to the heart of

the grain producing section of the

country. Competent engineers have

pronounced it to be a feasible scheme.

The President has ordered'negotia-

tions with Canada looking toward the





making of a treaty which would open





the way for this needed development.

Selfish eastern interests are opposing

the plan in every way possible, but

with agricultural interests being 3



guarded in congress as never be



there is every promise that the feasi-

bility and economic importance of this

development will be given the consid-

eration which it merits when it reach-

es the stage for congressional action.





ENERAL' interest





in pure-bred live



A Goad stock seems to mani-

T’me fest itself in well-de-



tO Buy fined cycles. During





a period of uninter-

rupted prosperity this interest grows

rapidly, with consequent profit to the

foresighted breeders who have pre-

pared for the demand in advance of

its manifestation. There is keen com-

petition for the possession of the goOd

animals during thisprosperous period

for the breeder, and advancing prices

still further stimulate general interest

in registered stock. Sometimes the

boom prices which obtain at the peak

of the advance are beyond the ayerage

man’s conception of the possible worth

of any animal for breeding purposes.

This has happened with most of the

improved breeds and in- the opinion of

some has been responsible for a slack-

ening of the demand in some cases.



Be that as it may, these high spots

in the business are sooner or later fol-

lowed by a lessening of interest and

a falling off of general demand for

pure-bred animals. This is always true

during a period of business depression

Never before have such elaborate“

farmer may see numberless things

in which he is intimately interested.

The farmer’s wife will be delighted at

the modern little accessories that she

things that cost little, yet work won-

is "a good time to buy pure-bred: stock

referred to this‘ intensity of- interest

as an “awakening.”



7 But what concrete evidence that will

substantiate the statement that fruit

production in Michigan is inviting and

more interesting today than it was

last year or during the past saveral

years? What factors have been re-

sponsible for the increased interest?



Perhaps the best evidence that we

have that there is an increased inter-

est in fruit growing is the very mark-

ed increase in attendance and interest

displayed in discussions at the fruit

growers’ local, district, and state meet-

ings‘during the past year. This was

especially noticeable at the annual

meeting of the State Horticultural So-

ciety in Grand Rapids last December





when 545 registered delegates and





more than 100 other fruit growers

were in attendance throughout a well

filled three-day. session. The older

members of the society declared that

they had never known such interest

to be displayed at a state meeting.





Present indications are that the mid-

winter meeting of the society at Col-

onia, Berrien county, March 1-2-3 will

also be. a record breaker in attend-

ance; in fact, it has already broken

one precedent in that such demands

were made upon the secretary by the

fruit growers for information along

was forced to lengthen the session

to one of three full days.

Wapping Alfalfa Experiences





M2cflzgc272’ 5 Bam-stormmg Alfalfa Campazgfi Br272gs 20 ngét Mcmy 1722‘er652‘272g

Farm Ear-permeates -.—By Howard 0.1642257





OW many of you fellows are

H growing alfalfa?” I asked a

crowd of forty farmers gathered

together in Mr. Ray’s barn near Ken-

dall. Only two held up their hands.

“Say, why don’t you ask us how many

want to grow it?” someone asked. I

did and the vote was unanimous. .

That pretty well illustrates condi-

tions as we have found them all over

Michigan. Farmers are thoroughly

convinced of the merits of alfalfa as a

yielder, as a soil builder and as a feed.

What they want is to know how to

grow it. Its value has been brought

forcibly to their mind time after time.

Especially was this true during last

summer’s prolonged drought. Fields

of alfalfa and sweet clover stood out

like cases in the desert because the

deep-feeding roots of these crops ena-

bled them to secure moisture even in

the driest period of the summer.

. A survey of over fifty farms made

by County Agent Gregg in Wayne

county showed an average yield of 2.36

tons of alfalfa per acre, while other





hay crops produced but 1.15 tons. The





state, as a whole, bears out er.

Gregg’s investigations with alfalfa

yielding an average of 213 tons per

acre against 1.2 tons, the average for

all hay crops.



What Do They Do With it?





From these figures it is safe to as- '





sume that the average acre value of

alfalfa is nearly four times as great as

that of mixed hay or timothy because





,of its greater worth .as a live stock





feed.' Its value to the dairy} cow, the

beef animal, the sheep, and the'hog,





has long been unquestioned, Now a.





great many farmers are reporting suc-





\ costs by feeding it to their horses as a





 





 





 





 





IT is is: Quaclegrau-





.ty farmer who grew more than five





tons of hay per acre and sold- it at

$18 and $20 a ton illustrates possibili-

ties in alfalfa as a cash crop which

might well be used to partially replace

certain others which have become un-

profitamle. The farmers who are start-

ing in alfalfa or increasing their

acreage today believe when prices for





other crops return to a more profitable

plane, that) they are going to realize

better on those prices. They will do

it, by more eflicient producrion as a

result of growing alfalfa. Compared to

the present commercial fertilizer mar-

ket alfalfa hay is worth $12 a ton to

plow under, so as one farmer put it,

“even though alfalfa were not as valu—

able on the market or as a feed as it is

today, I could still fford to increase

my acreage because of its benefit to

the soil.”



Farmers in some of the older sec

tions are finding it absolutely neces-

sary to turn to alfalfa and other leg-

uminous crops if they are to continue

in business. “The pioblem of agricul-

ture in southwestern Michigan,” says

Mr. Jason \Voo‘dman, “is not to make

two blades of grass grow where one

grew before, but it is to make one blade

of grass grow where two grew before

and there isn’t any growing now.”

This region, once fertile and produc-

tive, is becoming barren and worn out.‘

Alfalfa must be grown if farming is

to be continued.”



The Rush is Oh.



So all over the state we find farm-

ers turning to alfalfa, some with con-

fidence coming from previous success-





.es and some with diffidence because of





failures, all convinced of its value, and

all eager to make use of the experi-

ences of their neighbors near and dis

tant to help them to success.



Emphasis in the campaign work has

been placed on securing a successful

stand. While it is recognized that.

there are a great many important con-

siderations in handling alfalfa, the first

step is to grow it. Thoughtful care,

work, study and experience, will find‘

out the most effective mens of caring

for the crop afterwards.



These barn gatherings have become

less of the lecture type of meeting

and more of the general discussion.

Everyone has been free to contribute

his alfalfa experience and these’com-

bined experiences after all mark out.

the road to successful practice. Many

of these experiences have been strik-

ing illustrations of the need for look-

ing after ‘ some particular teeter~ be-

Of all the ways in which civilization makes use of

lead and its products, the most important is the use

of white-lead as the principal factor in good paint.



Thousands of tons of pure metallic lead are cor-

roded into white-lead every month, all over the civil-

ized world, to make the paint that decorates and

preserves buildings and manufactured articles. A

painted surface is a protected surface—and when

you “save the surface” you “save all.” .



Some paint . manufacturers use more white-lead,

some less, in the paint they make. Most painters

use the white- lead straight, thinning with pure lin-

seed oil. The quality of the paint depends on the

quantity of the white- lead it contains. White- lead

furnishes the durability and the working qualities.

highest quality, and sells it, mixed with pure linseed

oil, under the name and trade mark of

We were considering the importance





9. meeting near Paw Paw; Charles

Morrison, a successful grower in that

community, told “how one field of his,

after a thorough .mrking‘with the cul-





. tipacker, came on in fine shape. “But





in my other field,” he said, “I only got

over the ground once; Where the

horses had tramped and where the

wheels of the drill had packed the

ground the alfalfa came on quickly,

.otherwise the field had a hard time

of it. "



This same point was talked’of at a

meeting in Wayne county. “I had that

experience,” said one farmer. “I had

just finished sowing ‘a piece of alfalfa.

That evening an ornery old horse of

mine broke into the alfalfa field and

mussed around in general. Finally he

rolled. 'Where he rolled wasthe only

place in the field that I had any

alfalfa.” ,



A very‘keen interest is being exhib-

ited in lime. It is seldom that one

finds a Michigan farmer who really

has had alfalfa success without apply-

ing it. Where reports of such success

are heard they-come from farmers who

have a gravelly limestone soil or a

fertile soil of heavy texture where

leaching is slow and where there is

plenty of lime i nthe soil without addi-

tional application. Two tons of finely

ground limestone per acre, or three to

five wagonloads of marl are the most

Common applications. These are work-

ed into the seed-bed before seeding

time or occasionally they are applied

to a previous crop. ,



Doubters Becoming Extinct.



Inoculation is no longer a debated

question. Occasionally there is a per-

son who fails to recognize its import-

ance but the value of this practice has

been demonstrated so often that the

doubters are hard to find. A Jackson

county farmer received a bottle of the

pure culture from M. A. C. and was

asked to leave an uninoculated strip

across his field as a demonstration.

“Never again,” he told his county

agent, “this demonstrational stuff can

be left to the college hereafter so far

as I’m concerned. I’ve lost a good

many dollars worth of hay by not hav-

ing that strip inoculated. I guess we

have seen enough in this neighborhood

to convince us.”

The impmtance ,of quality seed in

Michigan alfalfa production is recog-

nized more than it is in the produc-

tion of most any other crop. T00 of-

ten have farmers had all their efforts,

their land investment, and their mon-

ey wasted because winter-killing left

but a few scattered plants. Their seed

was southern-grown or lacked those

hardy characteristics which enable

certain strains to withstand very se-

vere winter conditions. Now that they

can secure genuine Grimm from north-

ern growers, and be assured that it is

genuine Grimm, they are quite willing

to make the extra expenditure neces-

sary to insure the life of the crop

when winter comes. Farmers are re-





allzing the. importance of this kind o'f.

who aid in its distribution and. these

latter will find they are rendering a

distinctly appreciated service if they

do all they can to make more of the

hardy seed readily available. ‘



First experiences. with Grimm are

interesting? Several farmers, upon

first observing the habit which this





variety has of going into an earlier.





dormant' stage than the common,

thought the Grimm was an dying out

and berated everyone that .had eVer

mentioned Grimm seed. One man im-

mediately cancelled an order . for

Grimm that he had placed with the

farm bureau. The next spring he found





less than. twenty-five per cent of all

per acre and the Common at fifteen,

rience with Grimm and Common. An

eleven-acre field had been seeded fiVe

acres to genuine Grimm, six acres to

one winter the field was covered with

VanAken put it, “the Grimm came

,The Tandem Hitch.





The satisfaction of the tandem hitch

for the gang-plow cannot well be ap-

preciated until it, is tried out. But I

know of no one who has ever tried it

out and later gone back to the four

abreast plan. Especially is this true





if their method of hitching has been.





one that kept the draft divided equally

at all times. ‘



The hitch we like so well is similar

to the much-lauded multiple hitch

worked out by the engineering depart-

ment of the Illinois College of Agricul-

ture and the Percheron Society of

America. There has'since been a pat-

ent of some sort on the thing and for

a time at least they were being manu-

factured and sold to the public. Ours

was built some time ago at a cost of

around three dollars in addition to the

supplies on hand. Two dollars of this

was for an all steel pulley which the

blacksmith fitted rigidly to the plow

clevis in avertical position. Through

this pulley we passed a short piece of

decking chain (about four feet) with

an open link in the end on the upper

side of pulley and the other end at-

tached to an iron rod about the length

of the tongue. The rod is suspended

from the end of the tongue by a. short

ical power for the farm. And while it

is true that I do enjoy a high power

motor when I go to the fields to do

heavy work, yet it is equally true that

I place an abundance of faith in the

horse of heavy draft. I do not expect

to see the day when the dependable

draft horse will cease to be an eco-

nomic essential on the general Michi-

gan farm. And when I say “depend-

able, " I mean just that. I have. little

use for a vicious, balky, crippled or

“heavey” horse. A tractor with faulty

ignition could not be much harder on

[the vocabulary.



Many years ago we used to keep

and raise a class of farm chunks, very

desirable, general purpose horses of

around 1,200 pounds weight, and a va-

riety of breeding. They used to get

the work done, too, but it was next to

impossible to dispose or the surplus.

piece of chain and to the forward end

of the rod, is attached the whiffletrees

of the lead team. The whiffletrees of

the rear team are attached to the link

in the chain on the upper side of the

pulley. The play of the chain through

the pulley allows considerable freedom

of movement on the part of the horses

and at the same time keeps the load

equalized. It helps to hold the draft

low on the lead team if a weight of

thirty or forty pounds is attached to

their'evener. The advantages of this

hitch 'for the plow over the four-

abreast type, are self-evident, but they

need to be experienced to be appreci-

ated. The heretofore ever-present side

draft of the gang-plow is entirely over-

come. The horses have plenty of room

to work in comfort, they are not crowd-

ed and compelled to suffer from the

bodily heat of one another-athls is es-

Some Compan'ro’m W zt/z Ldrt Year’ 3 Law Pncer





HE farmer again has a place in

the sun, When most farm pric-

es remained in the dumps in De-

cember and the mystical index num-

bers came out showing that average

prices on farm products during that

month had lost all of the slight gains

made since last June, the landscape

became black and it looked like a

mighty ha1d winter.

Eaily in Januaiy farm prices began

to take an upward trend. Some of





' them have already reached an altitude





which seemed impossible three months

ago. Evidently the turn of the year

has meant‘the, turn of the tide of defla-

tion so far as agriculture is concerned.



The advance of nearly fifty per cent

in the hog market has done most to





' increase the income of the farmer, re-





vive hope, help pay the taxes and the

interest on the mortgage and, occa-

sionally leave a little for the improve-

ment fund. The time-honored “nice

day” as a morning greeting among

farmers can now be replaced by “ten-

dollar hpgs.”





Even the most rash of the optimists

have been outdone by the actual per-

formance of the hog market which has

risen fro-m a Chicago average ’of $6.60

early in December to $9.85. There was

nothing on which to base prediction of

such an upturn three months ago,





’ . ' . once again demonstrating that fact is





stranger than.fiction. ,



The packers who were expecting to.

store away products from $6.00 and

even $5.00 hogs have been badly de-

feated in their bear campaign; The

winter packing season is in its last

days, a period when the supply ordi-

narily only equals consumption is at

hand and their ceilars are minus the





‘ usual stocks of hog meatsand lard to





be merchandised in the summer scar-





_ city season.





The number of hogs slaughtered at

western packing points since Novem<

ber, has fallen about fifteen per cent

under last year. Shippers have taken

a record number to the east, trainloads

have been moved toward the Pacific

Coast and farmers all over the corn

belt have butchered a lotof hogs and

sold the meat locally.





The large proportion of barrows in

the ma is another link in the chain of

evidence that hog production has been

stimulated and breeding herds 1nc1 eas-

ed, which suggests that the handsome

profits in making corn into pork will

not last indefinitely, but the market

has the prospect of several months of

prosperity ahead of it before increased,

production can do damage. _



Lambs are gamboling .upon a price

level nearly seventy per cent higher

than last September. The altitude

looks dangegous, but there is nothing

immediate to smash the market. Prof-





 





from the early December level,

. they are on a'much higher level than

on its feet. With the sheep population

on January 1 the smallest reported by

the department of agriculture since

1878, there is but little danger of

greatly overdoing production for a

number of years.



Wool has ceased to be a drug on the

market, and buyers are on the anxious

seat with prices showing advances of

fifty "to seventy-five per cent and in

some cases more.





The stage is set for an advance in

the cattle market and unless some-

thing goes wrong, the curtain will go

up soon. Nothing spectacularto cor- .

respond with the advances in hogs and «

lambs is on the program, but a healthy ,

advance that will warm up the cockles ' '

of the cattleman’s heart.





The latest revision of estimates up‘

on the world’s supply of and demand

for wheat practically show a balance . ,

between the two which puts a tree , _

small group of holders. Not over fif- Ii

teen or twenty per cent of the wheat ‘ i

crop is still on the farm, but this frac‘ '

tion has appreciated almost thirty

cents a bushel in value. since January

1, and further advances are logical.





Corn is nearly ten cents a bushel %

higher than when the outlook was at

its worst. The strength in wheat has

helped corn, but realization. has evi-

dently set id that corn has been sell- .1

ing below its intrinsic worth and buy- u

ers have surrounded the bargain coun< 1

ter, heaped high with the phenomenal

receipts of the last month. That such

huge quantities were absorbed on an

advancing market reveals the profound

change that has occurred. Rye has

followed wheat, rather laggardly at

times, nevertheless it has followed, 1'

well as they have declined sharply ‘





but





last Spring. With the trend. of prices

another products slanting upward it

is possible that the products of the

cow and the hen will not dip below a

profitable level very long this coming

spring, even though production has





,been stimulated Furthermore, cheese 3





_ and chicken prices are holding up well.





Cotton prices are about seventy per

cent «up from the bottom. They have

lost about $25 a bale of the advance

attained late last summer, but as a

partial effect to this decline, growers

have a million and a half more bales

to sell than were expected at that

time.



The accompanying chart shows a '

score of farm products which were

higher on February 10 than when the

market was at the bottom in 1921 as

well as the percentage of advance. Two

others had advanced entirely too far

to show satisfactorily. Onions are 625

per cent higher than the cheapest

prices reported last spring, and pota—

toes are 140 per cent higher. Clover

seed, timothy seed, cottonseed, broom

corn and some grades of tobacco are

selling substantially above their low

points.





These advances are by no means

sufficient to pull all of the farmers

out of the mire. Financial distress was

too severe.for that, but the wheels are

beginning to move forward and the .

farmei has been given heart to make '

the pull , - _

CHANGES FROM HORSES TO TRAC-

LANDLORD writes us that he had

'7 arranged with his tenant to feed

I the working teams from the undivided

the farm. With the cut in tractor pric-

es his tenant nOw desires to secure a

tractor to displace some of the horses

and wants to know if the landlord will

l farm work due to the many variable

' conditions which are to be met and

which influence the cost, we'believe

that the plan is as equitable as any

that could be arrived at.

Experience has shown its hardiness

An indication of the popularity of

the variety is shown by an order re-

SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER lives

not speaking for the agricultural

bloc, but he undoubtedly voiced

sentiments of the members of the blot;

when he said? “I have been against

a sales tax all along, and still am

either for a bonus or any other meas-

ure‘. ”



Commenting upon the bonus sales

tax propositic’m, Senator Capper said

he thought the ex-service men were

entitled to a bonus. _Congress- was

good ‘to. other people. The soldiers

who did the fighting did not get much

.from the government. While these

boys were in France, drawing 30'per

month,, and making sacrifices for their

country, the people who remained at

home were making more money than

at any other period in their lives. The

soldiers are entitled to an adjusted

compensation. It means a tax burden,

but the soldiers have first considera-

tion. The railroads and war contract-

ors have been well cared for.





PROTECTION FOR FARM PROD-

In connection with this it may be

timely to mention that reports are com-

- Quality decides the

market price





WHEN your crops go to market, quality decides the price you

_ are paid. If the quality is first grade, you get the top price.

The price decreases as the quality decreases.





In practically every case—both in experiments by Agricultural Col-

leges and experience of successful farmers—fertilized crops are of

much better quality than unfertilized. In fact, the better market

price of. fertilized crops, alone, often makes a good profit on the

fertilizer investment. The increased yield is then clear profit.





Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers are made especially to produce better

quality crops as well as bigger yields.





The right proportion of plant food is readily available to give the.





plant a quick start. The rest is more-slowly available to furnish plant

food as needed—especially just before maturity when the quality of

the crop is'made. '





Make your crops bring top prices. Use Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers

liberally this year. Buy from your local Swift dealer or write us direct.

SOY BEANS FOR CLOVERLAND.





 





N the season of 1921, Dr. John Lowe,

head of the department of biology

of the Northern State Normal School,





ings of soy beans of several varieties.

His report on the results of this ex-

periment is to the following effect:

The Manchu matured not quite as ear-

ly as Evan’s Early Black or Ito-San.

Two plantings of Ito-San from different

sources matured at the same time. Me-

dium yellow seed, grown _in Illinois,

was last to mature. Mammoth yellow

seed, grown in South Carolina, did

poorly and did not flower. Evan’s Og-

emaw matured and did exceptionally

well. There was no particular differ-

ence as to the time of maturing of

Evan’s Early Black and Wisconsin

Early Black.



All soy beans grew here very luxu1i-

antly especially those that were lim-

ed. The lime used was air-slaked

lime and was scattered very lightly on

the surface of the soil. Plants growing

on the treated soil Were from four to

six inches taller than those grown on

untreated soils. The earliest maturing

plants were selected for seed. It is

proposed to continue selection in order

to develop early maturing varieties.

The plantings were made on May 25

and the crops were harvested on the

first of October.





 





GOOD ROADS SAVE MONEY.





 





R. R. P. MASON, county highway



engineer of Delta county, recent-

ly addressed the Esdanaba Rotary

Club on the subject of good'iroads in

that county. On the basis 'of govern-

mental computations, he estimated

that the good. roads .of Delta county

saved the people of the county $546,480

annually compared with the cost of

moving similar loads over bad roads.

The people of Delta county have in-

vested in automobiles and trucks, he

estimated, some $2, 546, 000, and .in

' good roads $834, 760. The total cost of

Marquette, made experimental plant--





state had contributed

$738,979. There are 2.02’ miles of trunk-

line roads in this county. He explained

why in the main it would not pay to

construct concrete roads, whose cost

would run above $30, 000 per mile,

while macadam could be put in for

$10, 000 or less. Yet in View of the

fact that there is a vehicle traffic be-

tween Gladstone and; Escanaba run-

ning as high as 2,500" per day in the

summer months, more, permanent con‘

struction than is now employed would

have to be considered, he said. From

Chippewa county comes the report

that the heavy marketing of hay re-

cently, resulting from the rise in its

price, has put some of the roads ’of

that‘ county‘in bad shape, this winter.





POISONED BAITS.





1





 





N view 013 the criticism of the pres-



ent policy of dealing with predatory

animals in upper Michigan, Mr. J. ,S.

LigonTeXpert of the United States Bio-

logical Survey in charge of this cam-

paign in Michigan, has denied that any

serious loss of valuable animals re-

sults ‘from the poisoning of noxious

animals. Deer do not eat the bait, he

says, and it [is questionable whether

partridge do. The uSe of poison is not

a matter of choice but of necessity, he

says. Winter conditions make the use

of steel traps impracticable for more

than three months at a time when the

depredations of predatory animals are

most serious. At this time poison is

used to supplement trapping. Poison

is not used when the snow disappears.





A record is kept-of all poison placed, ‘





and unused baits are removed in the

spring.





 





HOLD SUCCESSFUL MEETING.





 





GROUP of men representing large



and small real estate owners in

the upper peninsula and interested in

problems connected with land owner-

ship, met in Marquette recently, under

the auspices of the Upper Peninsula

Development Bureau.



The meeting was a very successful

affair, about fifty men being present.

Mr. Buckbee, of Escanaba, assailed the

wasteful expenditure of money on ad-

vertising in certain large metlopolitan

dailies, stating that he had seen $150

well— placed in judicious advertising

bring excellent results. It was neces-

sary, he said, to connect up prospective

land purchasers with actual pieces of

land. A farmer in quest of a new farm

does not care for a general description

of land, but he wants to know just

what a particular piece of land is good

for. He also adverted to the lack of

signs along highways which would call

attention to the fact that the particu-

lar piece of land behind them is pur-

chaseable. He thought that not a lit-





tle of the advantage of having tourists





visit northern Michigan, had been lost

by this failure to have roadside signs

that would sell the land. He had per-

sonally seen excellent results, he said,

from this practice in his own territory.

At the close of the meeting, State Sen-

ator Frank Vandenboom of Marquette,

a farmer and member of the present

special commission an inquiry into tax-

ation, made an impromptu speech in

which he again refeiied to this sub-

ject of advertising our lands, and said

that the best advertisement was an ac-

tual settler making a good living off

the land. We have the best dairy

country anywhere, he said, but we lack

men who thoroughly understand the

”businessand who, with their families,

were 'entirely enlisted in the business.

The consuming public, in the United

States: is probably using fewer beans

{than it has at times in the past as a

’lot of the doughboys ate enough of

them during the war to last them for a

lifetime, but in spite of any such reduc-

tion, two small crops in succession

promise to make a rather tense situa-

tion before the 1922 crop comes on the

market.



Besides the reduction in .the crop

yield, a significant change has taken

place‘in our foreign trade in beans.

Exports in the calendar, 1921, were

1,409,703 bushels. This is only 355,000





SEASONAL TIEIII 0F IEAI PRICES





PEI

“MEL





 





 





bush‘zfls less than in 1920. Average

exports for the four years, 1917 to

1921, were 2,424,000 bushels. Imports





during 1921, on the other hand, were

only 274,058 bushels compared with a

four-year average of 3,905,000 bushels.



The foreign trade has changed from

an average import balance of 1,481,000

bushels during the four years as shown

by the figures above to an export bal-





. ance of 1,235,645 bushels in 1921. When





this change in the export trade is tak-

en into account, the supply of beans

for domestic consumption during the

present year appears to be but little

more than fifty per cent of the quan-

tity actually consumed in this countiy

on the average du1ing the last fou1

years.



Although these figures show that the

bean bag may become quite lank be-

fore next October if only home needs

are taken into account, some beans are

still being sold for export, the Ameri-

can Relief Administration having been

a recent buyer for shipment to Russia.



Prices remained low throughout the

first half of 1921, due to the general

business depression so that imports

were not attracted. The emergency

tariff duty of two cents a bushel

amounted practically to an embargoas

long as prices remained upon a low

level. The foreign market still is about

one cent above an import basis.



The bean market made little or no

response to the situation during the

first months after harvest as producers

sold freely 'in spite of a small crop and

wholesalers and retailers were dispos-

ed ‘to carry light stocks, at least until





‘after inventory taking in January.





Since that time a brisk trade has been

doe. Numerous rush orders suggest

that the' beans are wanted to supply

an- urgent consumptive trade and not

for storage.



Trade estimates indicate that stocks





 





A Few Fzgure: on M zc/zzgan 3 Important Car/z Crap





in the preducing sections in Michigan,





 





Stocks in California are also very

much smaller than at this time last

year.



During the war the demand for pork

and beans brought, high prices for red

kidney beans and stimulated the, pro-

duction of them at the expense of the

white sorts The margin in price be-

tween the two has narrowed a great

deal in the last few months but this

readjustment probably is not far from

completion



Six states, Michigan, New York, Col-





orado, California, New Mekico and Ar?





izona have been the chief bean pro-

ducers until the last few years when

Idaho began coming into prominence.

In general, production seems to be

shifting westward because of smallei

losses from anthracnose than are suf-

fered in the east.



The demand for beans usually sags

with the coming of hot weather. In

the season of the year when beans are

likely to be scarce because of the lapse

of time since harvest, purchases are

apt to decrease. Nevertheless, prices

on the average have reached the high

point during the summer months as

shown by the accompanying illustra-

tion on which a ten-year' average of

prices paid to producers as compiled

by the United States Department of

Agriculture is given. Corresponding

prices for 1921 show a different be-

havior as a result of the‘business de-

pression. April was the low month of

this yeai, while the high mark was

188(3th in September. :



When-the crop is small, such as ap-

pears to be the case this year, the sea-

sonal advance in the summer is likely

to be much more pronuunced and ex-

tend over a longer period of time than

when the supply is abundant. *





SHORT QUERIES AND REPLIES.





 





Is buckwheat straw good for feed-

ing? R. Y.—Answer: We do not rec-

ommend the use of buckwheat straw

for feeding live stock. It is of low

feeding value and may cause digestive

disturbances.



What are the various benefits de-

rived from putting wood-ashes on the

land? I. D.--Answer: Wood ashes

supply potash, the amount depending

upon the kind of wood from which the

ashes were made and the method of

housing the ashes. They are also val-

uable for their content of lime, two

tons of the wood ashes often contain-

ing an amount of lime equal to that

of a ton of limestone. There is also a

small amount of phosfihoric acid

present.



Will it be practical to plant soy

beans year after year in the same

field? B. A.—~Answer: We would not

advise the continuation of one crop

from year to year on the same land.

Such a practice is likely to reduce

production unleSs the land is unusu-

ally well cared for. It also encourages

the multiplication of insect pests and

plant diseases.



Could a. sand-sucker be used to re-

move marl‘ from the bottom of lakes?

L. M.-Answer: While we do not know

of anyone having had experience in

removing marl by this means, we feel

quite certain that the attempt would

not be successful, owing to the texture

of the marl. This material, it seems,

would not be readily dislodged by the

suction method.

SHORTAGE IN FINE WOOLS.





 





R. c. J. FAWCETT, Director of

.Wool Marketing of the American

Farm Bureau Federation, reports {that

practically all of the pooled wools'ln

the various concentration points have





been disposed of on a gradually rising





market. Within the last" two Weeks

the market has been a runaway affair,

an acute shortage of “spot” wool de-





attempt is made by the buyers to con-

ceal the shortage of wool that now

exists, particularly of the finer grades.

It is estimated on good authority that

the available supply of wool in Boston

is not in excess of 63,000,000 pounds.





CESS PROFITS TAX TO PAY

SOLDlERS.





 





F more money must be raised to



pay 21 soldiers’ bonus, it should be

secured, aaccording to the national

grunge, by a re-enactment and re-ex-

tension of the excess profits tax. The

grange calls attention to the fact that

with less than one-third of the popu-

lation-engaged in agriculture, the pro-

posed eight-point tax program would

unload at least one-half of these taxes

upon agriculture directly in addition

to the farmers’ share as consumers in

other taxes. More than half the gas-

oline tax, more than half the automo-

bile tax, all of the tobacco tax, a large

share of the real estate tax, the bank

check tax and parcels post tax should

be’borne directly by agriculture. The

grange proposes starting an aggres-

sive campaign in favor of the immedi-

ate reenactment of the excess profits

tax for soldien bonus purposes. The

state granges and eight thousand sub-

brdinate granges Will be enlisted in

this work and will cooperate with oth-

er farm organizations.





TO SELL PRODUCE IN DETROIT.





 





LANS for placing into loperatlon a



“produce sales department” to be

a part of the State Farm Bureau were

perfected at a conference held in De-

troit on February 20-21, those in at-

tendance being M. L. Noon, George

Friday and E. C. McCarthy, a special

committe’e of the executive board se-

lected for this important work; C. L.

Brody, secretary-manager of the state

association; George C. Raviler, head

of the purchasing department; Hale C.

.Tennant, federal and state marketing

specialist and extension leader of the

M. A. C., and Milton Carmichael, sec-

retary of the committee that has been

working for more than a year for a.

solution of this problem.



It was agreed unanimously that this

service was needed and demanded by

the farm bureau membership all over

Michigan; that with the new federal

law just signed by President Harding

that it would be possible to develop a

nation-wide selling policy. This newly-

created merchandising project will be

a department of the State Farm Bu-

reau, strictly cooperative in its nature

and the affiliated members will be serv-

ed at actual overhead costs. .Produce

exchanges will be operated near both

the eastern and western markets in

Detroit, also stalls thereon



“The produce sales department” of

the farm bureau will specialize at the

start in butter, eggs and poultry, fruits

and vegetables, d'res‘sed hogs and veal.

The entire output of some cooperative.

creameries will be sought; also ar-

rangements have been. made to handle

ALFALFA EXPERIENCES.





 





(Continued from page 246).



bare spots in the spring,” said L. L.

Lawrence, of Decatur, at another

meeting. “Alfalfa is something like

live 'stock. We ’d hagdly think of tu1n-

ing our daiiy heid out mound the

straw stack all winter long. If We did

they would come through in pretty

poor shape. Some of them die' off from

exposure and lack of nourishment.

That is just-what happens to a lot of

our alfalfa. It literally .starves to

death.”





“My recommendation,” he continued,

“would be to use hardy seed and then.

feed it. Manure and acid phosphate

pay returns on alfalfa as well as other

crops. Along with that let it have 'at

least a six or eight—inch growth when

winter sets in and much of the win-

ter-killing will be eliminated.”





The past season, because it was un-

usually favorable to; seed production,

has stirred up a lot of interest in the

possibilities of that phase of alfalfa

culture in Michigan. Mr. Petz, of Ca"-

pac, produced fifty-five bushels of high

quality seed this year from seventeen

acres and has been getting good seed

yields for some time." Several farmers

in Clinton, Tuscola and other counties

report favorable yields, and D. L.

Krohn, of Elkton, has an acre of-Cos-

sack planted in rows, which has been

producing seed successfully for several

years. His seed has had an important

influence on the success of. alfalfa

growing in that community. Mr.

Krohn’s neighbors, by getting their

seed from him were, often unknowing-

ly, insuring the permanence of their

stand by making use of this very val-

uable and hardy variety.



Undoubtedly the New Hardigan al-

falfa will be used for seed increase this

coming season. A great many Michi~

gan farmers prefer producing their

own seeds if the yields will be profit-

ble and this variety promises to set

seed well under Michigan conditions.

Until home growing 01" seed is proven

practical as an every year proposition

Michigan farmers must depend on se-‘

curing large supplies of northern-

grown seed from the northwest.





Throughout the campaign to date,

while visiting Michigan farms, talking

with Michigan farmers, and hearing

them talk to each other, these import-

ant considerations have stood out:

That success in securing stands of al-





‘falfa is attained by: r





Seeding on a well-drained soil.

. Insuring a firm, well packed seed-

bed.



Making sure that an abundance of,

lime is available. ., ~

Outlook "





HE rate of consumption during

the last few months has been

above the average and prices

have climbed steadily. Meanwhile the

immense storage stocks accumulated

last spring Were whittled down until

they were of only average proportion





_ by December 1.





After the middle of December, signs

that a relatively large supply of fresh

eggs could be e lected fight along

could be seen. W th a prospect of con-

stantly increasing receipts of fresh

eggs, holders of cold storage eggs felt

that they were on an insecure footing

and many of them forced their eggs

on the market. .



Expectations of an unusually large

supply of‘ eggs during the next few





magnum





months may be disappointing. A heavy

movement from the southern states

which are especially prominent during

the spring has been heralded already,

but a spell of cold weather; sufficient

to make every hen north of Palm

Beach shiver on her roost is not im-

possible. Such conditions inevitably

reduce the supply of eggs and periods

of shortage when cold storage eggs

will be badly wanted are not impos-

sible.



The cycle of egg production during

the year is shown approximately by

the following table which gives for

1920 the percentage of total yearly re-

ceipts at five markets arriving during

each month of the year:'





Pr Cent.

August ........................... 7.8

September ....................... 4.9

October ........................... 4.1

November ........................ 2.6

December ....................... 2.3

Total ................. 100





Naturally prices follow a reverse

course as shown on the accompanying





chart. Ten-year average prices to the





producers estimated by the depart-

ment of agriculture for the first of

each month have averaged lowest in

April and May and highest in Decem-

ber and January. During-1921 prices

followed the same general course but

went to greater extremes as to both

high and low points. Since December

1, 1921, there has been a decline of

about twenty-five per cent so that the

February 1 farm price is likely to

drop below forty cents.



Already the prospective" price level

during April and May is a factor in

the market outlook. On the Chicago

Mercantile Exchange where eggs are

bought and sold for future delivery,

April standards are being traded in





‘ at twenty-two to twenty-five cents per





dozen, which is loWer than any lear

since 1916. o



Refrigerator storage of eggs cannot

be engaged in conveniently \ by the

take advantage of winter prices. hilt'} ‘,

ed .by yields, says Earl Jones, crops

specialist of the Ohio State University,

who, has just compiled the results.



The counties, concerned, and the av-

erage gain in bushels to the acre in

each, are asfollows; Wayne, 54 bush-

els; Columbiana, 59 bushels; Stark,

70 bushels; Ashtabula, 33 bushels;

Lorain, 83' bushels; Geauga, 26 bush-

els; Trumbull, 43 bushels; Erie, 37

bushels; Cuyalroga, 43 bushels; Lake,

27 bushels.



Variations in yield increases are

thought to be due to a widely varying

quality in the home-grown tubers. .Mr.

Jones comments that, “there is room

for improvement in the potato seed

used in northeastern Ohio,” and is of

the opinion that, “with a more favor-

able season the northern-grown certi-

fied seed vsfould have shown greater

gains in Lake and the surrounding

counties.





 





wou‘Lo INSURE CROPS.





 





BILL has been introduced into

congress by Representative King,

of Illinois, calling for the establish-

ment of a farm crop insurance bureau

which would insure growing crops of

non-perishable products against loss

or damage resulting from adverse

weather conditions. This bill some-

whate antedates action suggested by

the administration’s National Agricul-

which advocated

that a thorough study be made of the

feasibility of a federal crop insurance

agency and recommended that data be

secured .upon which to base premium

rates, etc.

Crop insurance has been written for

a few years by a few agencies. A fed-

eral crop insuranCe agency anticipates

the insurance of crops over possibly

the entire United States. ' It is rather

generally admitted that there is not

sufficient data upon which safely to

determine the amount of premiums

necessary to insure the success of any

crop insurance venture which would

extend over a vast area and include a

large number of crops.

and the losses they cause, by the purchase

of a Case Tractor now. You can realize a

profitable return on its dependable power

and ability to do all your heavy work.





Case Tractor Sizes, 1 0-18,

1 5-2 7 , 22-40.





One of these sizes will meet the power require-

ments of your farm.‘ The 10-18 will plow from

6 to 9 acres a day and perform other work at a

corresponding rate. The 15-27 will perform the

same operations about fifty per cent faster. If

your field or belt work demand greater power,

the 22-40 will best meet your requirements.





Because of its greater efli‘ciency, the larg-

est tractor you can use advantageously

will prove the most profitable.





Power.





Case heavy duty kerosene engines are





V nOted for their power, fleiribility and economy.





Case Tractors have demonstrated remarkable

economy and efficiency by winning the majority

of all important tests in which they have been

entered.





Ample reserve power has been provided to





various implements used. A well designed draw-

bar of proper height and with a wide range of

adjustment makes the correct hitching of plows

and other tools easy.





Belt Work.





Belt operations are often the most profitable

work of a tractor, and, on the average, make up

more than a quarter of its entire work. On

Case Tractors the belt pulley is mounted on the

engine crankshaft where the full power of the

engine is available for belt work. Being directly

in front of the operator it is easy to line up with

the driven machine. This feature saves hours

of time in a busy season.





General Purpose Tractors.





All three sizes of Case Tractors are adapted to

road hauling, grading, and all field operations by

reason of correct weight, proper weight distribu—

tion, and effective traction speeds.





The requirements of actual farm work deter-

mined the essentials of Case Tractor design and

construction. That is why the Case is so well

adapted to all kinds of drawbar and belt work—-

so useful to farmers.

for light or heavy pulls. The sure acting gov-

ernor automatically maintains correct field or

belt speeds. With the two speed transmission

BASED U PON PRODUCTION.





 





.' OR some time I have had in mind

a system of crop planting which

has worked out very well .with me,

and which, I believe, would tend to

eliminate extremes in crop. production.

This system is based on the yield

the preceding year. With potatoes it

would work out as follows, where your

normal full crop planting is one hun-

dred bushels: When potatoes are $1.00

per bushel plant twenty-five .bushels.

,VVhen they are fifty cents per bushel

plant fifty bushels. And when they

are twenty-five cents a bushel plant

‘ one hundred bushels.

* Or, in other words, when there is a

full crop plant your full quota of po-

tatoes. When the crop is a fifty per

cent one then plant one-half of your

usual planting of potatoes. And when

the yield is one—quarter of normal just

plant one—quarter the usual amount the

next year.



The common tendency is to plaht a

small amount after a heavy crop, and

low price year. This will mean small

production and high prices the next

year. With this method of basing the

planting upon the production of the

previous year, the tendency will be to

equalize crop production and stabilize

prices. Even if not universally prac-

ticed, the individual who uses it will

profit through it.



The plan can be applied to most any

farm crop. As for instance, when seed-

ing is cheap it is advisable to put in

meadows—N. A. Cnorr, Gladwin Co.





ANOTHER NEW WRINKLE.





 





EMBERS of a local live stock





shipping association in Indiana.





have solved the problem of having fat

hogs on hand just when they are want-

ed for meeting home demands. It fre-

quently happened that members who

do their home butchering, often found

themselves with hogs ready for mar-

ket or slaughter before the farmers

were in a position to do the butcher-

ing. Now under these conditions they

ship their hogs to market through the

association when the hogs are ready,

and later when these farmers are pre-

pared to do their butchering they buy

the desired number of hogs from the

association on the regular shipping

day. They purchase these hogs for

the net market price returned to the

members who contributed the hogs to

the shipment.





TEST VALUES OF ALFALFA.‘





 





N interesting experiment has been ‘

conducted at the \Visconsin Ex-’





periment Station. The object of the

work was to determine what differ-

_ ences, it any, could be l'ound between

alfalfa seed grown in different sections

of the country.





. . l

After tour years 01 work the results ‘





are reported as follows: Seed from

Montana and South Dakota leads in

hardiness and permanency of good

stands. Seed from Kansas is a close

third, while that secured from New

Mexico and Arizona fields proved very

susceptible to winter injury, which re-

sulted in a high percentage of poor

4 stands and gave way bel'ore bluegrass

encroachment. The common seed from

the states of Utah and Idaho seemed

somewhat less desirable than that

from Kansas.



While the trials indicate consider-

able variation of common strains with-

in a given state, some showing greater

hardiness than others, the average

‘ common South Dakota grown seed ap-

pears the equal in practically every

respect to the more popular Montana

' strains.





\“To business that we love we rise

HE year 1921' did not entangle itself in the

heartstrings of the American farmer. . It went

out under a cloud and be shed no tears. Yet'

this‘ cloud, like so many of the. clouds in life, had





. its silver lining.





The agricultural ills and ailments of 1921 brought with

them their own remedies. At Washington today the govern-

mental forces, wide awake to the vital co-relation of farm and

industrial welfare, are fortifying the weak places in the busi-





ness of farming. The farm public has created a hundred '





active. vigorous movements, many of them now bearing fruit.

Freight reductions, better financing and better marketing

conditic’ms, lower labor and equipment costs, legislation tend-

ing to higher farm product prices—items like these buildup

the optimistic Outlook for the summer ahead.





For you, the individual farmer, all the factors in the

situation center of course on your own acres. In so far as

you are a'believer in the inevitable return swing of a pen-

dulum, you will apply your best knowledge and the most

efficient and modern equipment to make your fields produce

bumper cr0ps.





As you come to the Spring season you will probably

discover the need of one or more new machines and we

want to call your attention to the standard popular equip-

ment that makes up the MoCormick-Deeriné Line, sold by a

good dealer in your community. For reliable machines and

For how could

they have suspected that Eaton would





_ betray himself in the game unless they





had also suspected that he had played

polo before? To suspect that, they

must at least have some theory as to

who Eaton was. But her father had

no such theory; he had been expending

unavailingly, so far, every effort to as-

certain Eaton's connections. So her

thoughts led her only into deeper and

greater perplexity, but with them came

sudden—and unaccountable—resent-

ment against: Avery.



“Will you see what Mr. Avery is do-

ing?” she said to the maid.



The girl went out and returned in a

few moments. “He is with Mr. San-

toine.”



“Thank you.”



At seven Harriet went in to dinner

with her father, The blind man was

now alone; he had been awaiting her,

and they were served at once. All

through the dinner she was nervous

and moody; for she knew she was go-

ing to do something she had never

done before: she was going to conceal

something from her father. She told

herself it was not really concealment,

for Donald must have already told him.

It was no more, then, than that she

herself would not inform upon Eaton,

but would leave that to Avery. So she

told of Eaton’s reception at the coun-

try club, and of his taking part in the

polo practice and playing badly; but

of her own impression that Eaton

knew the game and her present con-

viction that Donald Avery had seen ev-

en more than that, she said nothing.

She watched her father’s face, but she

could see there no consciousness that

she was omitting anything in her ac-

count. ' . '



An hour later, when after reading

aloud to him for fa time, he dismissed

her, she hesitated before going.



“You’ve seen Donald?" she asked.



“Yes.”



“What did he tell you?”



“The same as you have told, though

not quite so fully."



She was outside the door and in the

hall before realization came to her that

her father’s reply could mean only that.

Donald, like herself, had‘concealed his

discovery of Eaton's ability to play

polo. She turned back suddenly to re-





 





for Avery. She did not find him, nor

at first did she iindEaton either. She

discovered him presently in the music-

room .with Blatchford. Blatchford at

once excused himself, tired evidently

of his task of watching over Eaton.





Harriet .caught herself. together and \





controlled herself to hei‘ usual manner.

“What shall it be this evening, Mr.

Eaton?” she. asked. “Music? Bil-

liards?” ' '

“Billiards, if you like,” he responded.

They went up to the billiard room,

and for an hour played steadily; but

her mind was not upon the game——

nor, she saw, was-his. Several times





he looked at his. watch; he seemed to

her to be waiting.





Finally, as they





 





 





 





turn to her father; then again she hes-

itated, stopped with her hand upon the

blind man’s door by her recollection of

Donald’s enmity to Eaton. Why Donald

had' not told, she could not imagine;

the_only conclusion she could reach

was that Donald’s silence in some way

menaced Eaton; for—suddenly now—4t-



came to her what this must mean to



Eaton. All that Eaton had been so



careful to hide regarding himself and



his connections must be obtainable by



Avery now. Why Eaton had played at



all; why he had been afraid to refuse



the invitation to play, she could‘ not



know; but sympathy and fear for him



swept over her, as she comprehended



that it was to Avery the betrayal had



been made and that Avery, for some



purpose of his own, was withholding



this betrayal to make use of it as he



saw fit.



She moved once more to return to

her father; again she stopped; then,

swiftly, she turned and went down-

stairs.



As ‘she descended she saw in the

lower hall the stenographer, Miss Dav-

is, sitting waiting. There was no ade-

quate reason for the girl’s being there ‘

at that hour; she had come—she said,

as she rose to greet Harriet—to learn

whether she would be wanted the next

day; she had already seen Mr. Avery,

and he would not want her. Harriet,

telling her she would not needs her,

offered to send a servant home with

her, as the roads were dark. Miss

Davis refused this and went out at

once. Harriet, as the door was Closed

behind the girl, looked hurriedly about

ended a game, he put his one back in

the rack and faced her.



“Miss Santoine,” he said, “I want

to ask a favor.”



“What is it?”



“I want to go out—unaccompanied."



“why?” ' .



“I wish to speak to a friend who will





be waiting for me.” - ’





“How do you know?” ,



“He got word to me at the country

club today. Excuse me— I did' not

mean to inform on Mr. Avery; he was

really most yigilant. I believe he only

made one slip.” ‘



"He was not the only one observing

you.”



“I suppose not. In ract, I was cer-

tain of it. However, I received a mes-

sage which was undoubtedly authentic

and had not been overseen.”



“But you were not able to make

reply.”



“I was notable to receive all that

was necessary.”



She considered for a moment. “What

do you want me to do?"



“Either because of my presence or

because of what has happenedL—or per-

haps normally—you have at least four





,men about the grounds, two of whom





seem to be constantly on duty to ob-

serve any one who may approach.”



“Or try to leave.”



“Precisely.”



“There are more than two.”



“I was stating the minimum.”



“Well?”



“I wish you to order them to let me

pass and go to a place perhaps ten

minutes’ walk from here. If you do so.





yourself if you





do not think badly of me now.





I will return at .theulatest within half

an hour” (he glanced at his watch)—

“to be definite, before a quarter of

eleven.” ' \



“Why should I do this?” .



He came close; to her and faced her.

“What do you think of me now, Miss

Santoine?" _

“Why—n _

“Youare'quite certain now, are you

not, that I had nothing to do with the,

attack on your father—that is, in any

other connection than that the attack

might be meant for me. I denied yes-

terday that the men in the automobile

meant to run me dovm; you did not

accept that denial. .I may as well ad-





'mit to you that I know perfectly well





they meant to kill me; the man on the

train also mean to kill me. They are

likely to try again‘ to kill me."



“We recognize that too,” she an-

swered. “The men on watch about the

house are warned to protect you as

well" as watch you.”



“I appreciate that.” ‘



“But are they all you have to fear,

Mr. Eaton?” She was thinking of Don-

ald Avery.



’ He seemed to recognize what was in

her mind; his eyes, as he gazed ins

tently at her, clouded, then darkened

still more with some succeeding

thought. “No, not all.”



“And it will aid you to——to protect





night?”



“Yes." ,



“But why should not one of Father’s

men he with you?” .



“Unlesis I were alone,

would not appear.”



“I see.”



’He moved away from her, then came

back; the importance to him of what

he was asking was very plain to her—

he was shaking nervously “with it.

“Miss Santoine.” he said intently, “you

I do

not have to doubt that; I can see it;

you have wanted me to see it. I ask

you to trust me for a few minutes to-

night. I cannot tell you whom I wish

to see or. why, eXcept that the man

comes to do me a servic'e and to em

danger no one—except those trying to

injure me.”



She herself was trembling with her

desire to help him, but recollection of

her father held her back; then swiftly

there came to her the thought of Gab.

tried to help him—in some way and,

overcoat and cap. Butvin his absorpé

tion he forgot to put them on until,

as they went out into the garden to-

gether, she reminded him;,then he put

on the cap. The night was clear and

cool, and no one but themselves seem-

ed to be about the house.



“‘Which way do you want to go?”



she asked.

! He turned toward the forested acres

of the‘ grounds which ran down to a.

ravine at the bottom of which a little

stream trickled toward. the lake. As

they approached the side of this ra-

.vine, a man appeared, and investigated

them. He recognized the girl’s figure

and halted.



“It’s .111 right, Willis,” she said.



“Yes, ma’am.”



They pasged the man and went

down the path into the ravine and up

the tiny valley. Eaton halted.



“Your man’s just above there?” he

asked her. '



“Yes.”



“He’ll stay there ?”



.“Yes; or close by.”



“Then you don’t mind we

“No,” she said. “You will

“Yes,” he said; and with that per— 1





mission, he left her.



Both had spoken so low that the

man above could not have heard; and

Harriet now noticed that, as her com-

panion hurried ahead, he went almost

noiselessly. As he disappeared, the

impulse to call him back almost con-

trolled her; then she started to follow

him; but she did not. She stood still,

shivering a little now in the cold, and

as she listened, she no longer heard

his footsteps. What she had done was

done; then just as she_was telling her-

self that it must be many moments be-

fore she would know whether he was

coming back, she heard him returning;

at'some little distance, he spoke her

name so as not to frighten her. She

knew at once it was he, but a change

in the tone surprised her. She stepped

forward to meet him.



“You found your friend?”



“Yes.”



”VVhat did he tell you?” Her hand

caught his sleeve in an impulse of con‘

cern, but she tried to make it seem as

though 'she grasped him to guide her





through the trees of the ravine. “I-

mean what is wrong that you did not

expect?”





She heard his breath come fast.



“Nothing,” he denied.

“Believe in you, Miss Santoine.” He

crushed her fingers in his grasp. “Oh,

“YOu wish you could?” she echoed.

The tone of it struck her like a blow,

and she tore her hands away. “What

do you mean by that?”



He made no reply but stood staring

at her through the dark. “We must go

back,” he said queerly. “You’re cold.”

Look For This Sign





Havoline Oil has been used by farmers

for automobiles and stationary engines

ever since the “horseless buggy” days.





Havoline was the first high grade, branded

oil put on the market. In spite of ever

increasing competition, it has maintained the

" enviable reputation it enjoyed in the days

when good oils were few and far between.

During the passing years its quality has

been so thoroughly tested and proven that

claims which must be made for other oils

are taken for granted when Havoline is

concerned.





Use Havoline in your tractor, automobile,

and stationary engines. Keep a five gallon

can handy. You can make an additional

saving by buying Havoline in 5; or 30 gallon

steel drums (with faucets) or in wood

barrels. From the dealer displaying the

Havoline sign you can get any grade in any

Way you want it.

ITH respect to the resurrection

l of Christ:

not risen, then. is our preaching vain,

and your faith also is vain. Yea, and

We are found false witnesses of God;

Because .we have testified of God that

He raised up Christ.” I Cor. 15:14.15.

The resurrection was firmly believed

by the early Christians. For that they

died, or suffered other forms of perse-

cution. The thing that distinguished

Christianity from other religions was

this, that it had a. God who had tri-

umphed over death. The narratives

of the morning of the.resurrection in

all the gospels have all the ear-marks

of genuineness. There are many little

touches that could not have been in-

vented, if the story had been made up.

Christ never rebuked those who hon-

estly felt that there were difficulties in

believing Him to‘be the Son of God.

There are~doubtless people now, like

the writer of this letter, who have dif-

ficulty in believing that Jesus Christ

was actually God—that .He was (and

is) Deity. But with patient reading I

believe there is always a way to solve

those doubts. One way is to study the

individual cases in the gospels who

did not believe at first, and later came

to do so—i. e., Thomas, Nicodemus,

etc.



The passages quoted to show that

Christ was not divine are all taker?

from the gospel of John except two.

Hence if it is all right to quote from

that pospel passages which show the

Son as subordinate to the Father, it

is also all right to take other passages

that show Him to be the equal of the

Father; for instance: “I and my Fath-

er areone.” “I have overcome the





- ‘ HE following letter wasreceived



_ recently _by' the writer, which



, he Will try to answer. It shows



that .the‘correspondent has read and



thought considerably about the relig-

ious life. The letter follows:

mans and am interested in them be-

cerning beliefs

and none entirely right or wrong.





I note in the IaSt sermon that you

say, “if we do not believe the resurrec-

tion of Christ, we can hardly be Chris-

tians at all.” Can reasonable ministers

or churchmen blame those who have

doubts that Jesus was divine, when we

read in the gospels, ‘My'father is

greater than I,’ ‘I can of mine own

self do nothing, ’ ‘The words that I

speak unto you I speak not of my-

self, but the father that dwelleth in

me, he doeth the works,’ ‘My meat is





to do the will of Him that sent me,’ Ezrkiife” I 5331:1953: iisrifisrcntiovtasang

Of that day and that hour knoweth am.” In Matthew occur the two won-





no man, no, not the angels which are

in heaven, but the Father,’ ‘There is

none good but one, that is God,’ ‘I .as-

cend unto my father and your father,

to my God and your God.’.





“If Jesus was Deity why did he not

ask His disciples] and others to pray

unto Him? Did he not constantly

pray to God, and teach his disciples to

do so? Is it not true that the gospel

of John is the authority for the claim

that Jesus was'God, and that His gos-

pel is not included in _the Synoptic

Gospels? Do you believe that, a man

is a Christian and a good one, who be-

lieves and lives the Sermonon the

Mount, who believes in what Jesus be-

lieved and acknowledges that we re-

ceive the highest revelation of God

thrOugh Jesus, the most perfect hu-

man that ever lived? Is there not a

divinity in all of us differing in de-

gree? If Jesus claimed to be God, why

is it that secular history of that day

does not disclose that fact? If Jesus

was resurrected the Jews certainly

knew the fact. How could they deny

it ‘as they do? I will appreciate your

reply through the Michigan Farmer, if

my name is not used.”





Before answering any of the above,

it' should be stated that it will be im-





derful statements, which could not.

have come from the lips of mortal

man, found in Chapter 11, verse 27,

and in 28:18. There are many more in

the gospels to the same effect. As for

His teaching his disciples to pray to

Him, there was no need of his doing

that. No sooner had he risen from the

dead, than they began to do so. When

He was confessed as the Son of God,

He was pleased, and commended those

who came to that conclusion. Mat-

thew 16:16 and John 20:28,29.





HE statement that there “is a div-



inity in all of us, differing in de-

gree,” is no doubt true. But it is dif~

ferent from the divinity that existed

in Christ, for in Him there is no trace

of sin, no consciousness of ever need-

ing to repent, of ever feeling sorry

for anything, or of even regretting a.

decision. That is very different from

the experience of any human who ever

lived. As Theodore Parker, 3. Unitar-

ian, put it: “The manifest of men,

humane as a woman, pious and hope-

ful as a prayer, brave as man's most

daring thought. For eighteen centur-

ies he has led the world in morals and

religion because he was. the manliest

man in it, and hence the most divine}:

Or as the great Philips Brooks states

it, “He was the one sinless man in all

history, and that alone makes Him the

most saving fact the world has ever

seen.”





Yes, I should say that if a man lived

and practiced the Sermon'on thelMount

he was a Christian.' May _the time hur-

ry on whe'n'all business men and ag;

riculturists and professional men will

do just that. Why is“ not’vJesus men-

that Eaton was no longer thinking of

he helped her layoff her cape, he sud-

denly faced her.

'She waited for him to go on.

She started, gazing at him; what he

said had absolutely no meaning for

her. “What is it that you know.”



He did not reply; his hand went out

to hers, seized it, crushed it, and he

started away. As he went up the stair

——still, in his absorption, carrying his

cap and overcoat—she stood staring

after him in perplexity.

.HOME AND LOVE.





 





BY 1.. M. THORNTON.





Because I‘like to sit at home

And hear the robins call and sing.

Or breathe the sweet the breezes

bring.

I’ve grown to pity those who roam

And have no spot, however prest,

Where he can whisper, “Here I rest.”





Because I like 'to hear the tone

That says I love you, needs no

. phrase

No spoken word, to cheer and praise

I pity those with none their own

Their very own to understand

The language of the eye and hand.





Because life has so much unrest,





Because for each the strife and

stress,

God sends the humble home, to bless,

And loving hearts, His best bequest

Not gold nor pleasure, pomp nor

But Love that makes Life not in

THE STEP-MOTH ER.





 





BY WALTER S(‘0TT IIASKELL.





Ann Jemimy Dipple~

The lady’s married name;

Husband was a cripple,

She loved him just the same.

He had a touch of gout,

Rheumatics in his head;

To get the trouble out,

Bill had to‘ lie abed.





Jemimy set a. hen.



With feathers all a-flounce;

Bull-dog got in the pen,

Poor Biddy “took the counts.”

The eggs were in the nest,



AS yet so warm and nice;

With biddy gone to rest



They’d soon be cold as ice.





Jemimy was no fool,



Though the ill winds had “blew,”

She took the matter cool,



And planned.” what she would do.

So, acting on the spur,



She took the eggs to Bill,

For it was up to her,



That nice warm bed to fill.





Bill warmed the eggs, oh, yes,

Though feathers he had none,



.He knew his biz, I guess.

For many years engineers

have known the Four Vital Factors

necessary in a tractor to make cheap power.

These are (1) Lowest Fuel Cost. (2) Lowest

Upkeep Cost. (3) Longest Life. (4) Reason-

able Purchase Price. (See diagram above.)

The problem has been to combine these four

vital factors in one tractor.

History Of North Huron“? Pig ' Club





'A Paper Redd j at t/ze Feémnry Noni/i H nron Farmem’ C/né Meeting





'HE club was organized .in the

springmf 1921 at MrfiWenzels,



. on the farm of Mr. Frank Kinch,

near Grindstone City, by Mr. Campbell,

our former county agent. When the

club was organized, Mrs. Isabel Kinch

was electedgclub leader. At the next

meeting in the Grindstone schoolhouse

we elected officers for the club, which

consisted of eight members, Charlotte

Kinch, Ethel McDonald, Felix Goreski,

Louis Wenzel, Murdock McDonald, Ed-

ward Meagher,

John Kilpatrick. Edward Meagher was

elected president; Ethel McDonald,

vice-president, Charlotte Kinch, secre-

oil for a few days after, and hopes we

will help him again. The money we

took in went to pay for the trucking

and keep of our bunch‘of pigs at the

county fair from August 1 to Septem-

ber ’5. My pig did not win a prize

at/the fair, not even third. So when I

came home I said, “Betsey, I am not

discouraged, but disgusted, and from

now till the end of the contest we have

got to do something or bust; so we

both went to work, I to feed her, and

she to eat. I meant to win out ahead,

if I could. At the end of the contest

Irwianchubel still held first place but

I came in second, so I did not feel so

tary; Felix Goreski, treasurer, for the

year. From that time on we met

with our club leader, Mrs. Kinch.



At our first meeting we decided on

the O. I. C. breed. Mr. Dan Meagher

and Mr. William McDonald with Coun-

ty Agent Campbell went to Snover and

Marlette to buy the pigs. They were

shipped to Grindstone City, to Mr.

Frank Kinch, where each club member

went, and we each drew a number and

the number we drew matched the tag

number on the pig. That little white

pig was ours when we gave a note for

$16.96 for six months, and so we learn-

ed to give a note. I wonder how many

men here today wishes he had never

learned to Sign a note. We got our

pigs on June 10, 1921. My pig weighed

forty-nine pounds. I called her Lady

Elizabeth, Betsey for short, and I fed

Betsey to see what I could do on a

certain amount of feed. Each of the

members were supposed to do the

same.



We club members met with our club

leader, Mrs. Kinch, at her home every

two weeks. We had our business

meetings, talked about best ways of

doing things on the farm, what was

the best feed for little pigs. What

was the best feed for growing pigs,

and many other things. Maybe we did

not learn a- great deal, but what we did

hear did us no harm. When our meet-

ing is over our club leader'always has.

a treat ready for us. Lemonade and

cake or coffee and sandwiches, some

times bread and butter and jam. She

even furnished bathing suits to some

of us so we could go in bathing in old

Lake Huron. We will alwaysremem-





ber ,the first summer of our pig club.‘





During the summer when the mem-





bers of the farm bureau held their pic- ‘

' nic- in Port Austin, and we club mem-





bers had a stand on the picnic grounds

bad, as I had the smallest pig to start

with.



During the year there has been some

changes. One of our members, Louis

Wenzel, has moved to Saginaw to live.

I don’t know whether his pig went in

the pork barrel or not. I believe Char-

lotte Kinch’s pig .proved to be a. poor

type for a prize pig, so her mother

took that one and bought Charlotte

another for $35. So Chaalotte is set up





again. Murdock McDonald’s .took sick”

and died, but Murdock is going to have

his father get him another‘ from Mr.

Dorman’s stock farm to begin the next

year’s,contest. So you see we still

have seven members. ' ' ’





At the end of the pig contest on

November 15, our club leader decided

to keep things moving during the win-

ter by having each member read a. ,pa-

per at each meeting of the North Hur-

on Farmers’ Club. I drew number one,

so I had to write a story on “What

the Pig Club, Members Would be Do-

ing and Where They Would be Twenty ‘

Years from Now.” I read my story at

Mr. Sam Wallace’s on December 21.

Ethel McDonald drew second place,

she wrote a story on “Why a. Girl

Should Join the Pig Club.” She read

her paper at Miss Hall’s on January

5. I'believ‘e it is Irwin Schubel’s turn

today. I don’t know what the subject

is, but you will hear.





While Mr. Wright was here hunting

this fall, he attended the farmers’

meeting and was rather interested in

the pig club work, so he gave Mr.

Kinch $10 as a prize for some contest

among. the young people around here.

The contest will be determined in the

near future. '





Now, if you are traveling down the

line and, get farther north than Bad

Axe, someone is apt to ask you where

you live. When you say Grindstone

City they look and say, “What! that

little jumping-off place at the end of

the P. M. Line?” And you would think

by the way —they say it that it was

really the end of the earth. But we

are not as slow as we look. That is

why we have the first pig club in

Huron county.

possible.” By destroying insect

pests they save crops worth millions

of dollars every year. Every farmer

who does not encourage and .protect

bird life on his farm is defrauding

himself and his country. Birds serve

farmers so well that every one of them

could well afford to erect a monument

to these unassuming and willing bird

helpers. ,



In these days of tree repair work,

and great demand for lumber, and

wood for fuel purposes, birds have a.

time of it to locate nesting sites.

Therefore, cavities in trees are not so

often the home of bird families as in

the past. We must provide nesting

sites for them, and this can be done

with a very small'outlay. Anyone who

is at all handy with tools can build a

bird house. I would have farmers re-

member that many times‘the spring

storms kill the early arrivals, and it is

as necessary to provide shelter for

them at this time, as in the winter;

as well as such foodbas suet to help

PoOrly NouriShed Children ,





Some Suggertzbm on Child Feeding





   





By Hilda Richmond





URING a recent inspection of

school children by a trained



_. nurse in a small city some start-

ling facts were brought out about poor-

ly nourished children. Many families

with two or three children had not a

pint of milk for the daily allowance for

the whole family, while butter was

rarely seen on the tables. These‘poor

families aroused the sympathies of

club and church ladies, who immedi-

ately took steps to supply the children

with pure fresh milk daily, so that

their'poor little starved bodies might

have a chance to develop to the stand-

ard of normal beings. ,

But among the poorly nourished

youngsters were .alnumber who had re-





 





 





 





cently moved in from the country, and

whose indignant parents had much to

say that was unkind andx impolite in

regard to the reports of the nurse. But

when they took the children to the

family physician-the verdict was the

same. Under weight; poorly equipped

to. resist disease, under size and not

normal physically because of lack of

proper food. Then it 'came out that

the children “hated” milk and would

not touch butter. They ate greedily of

meat, white bread and potatoes but

used little fruit and eggs. The parents

trusting to time to bring them out all

right had not attempted to force them

to eat wholesome things; indeed, they

hardly knew what children should eat.

Yet the man could talk intelligently on

balanced rations for pigs and sheep

and horses, and his wife could raise

chickens better than most of her

neighbors, as she proudly informed

folks. They knew how to feed for

pork and lambs and eggs, but they did

not know what was good for children.

, With many children it is a whim

that they will not touch milk, and of-

ten economical parents rejoice when

the larger amount of whole milk or





cream or butter goes to market be».





cause the children do not care for it.

But those who are informed as to the

needs of growing boys and girls dis-

guise the milk so that the boys and

girlsget enough each day while think-

ing they dislike it. In milk soups,

gravies, custards, ice cream, puddings

and bread the life giving elements are

introduced and the boys and girls eat

them unknowingly. To be sure, fresh,

sweet milk uncooked is better than

milk'boiled, but by going at the thing





gradually it is easy to inculcate a lik-





ing for milk and cream and butter:

Take mashed potato, for example,

Fresh sweet cream and butter can be





same as if the butter were spread on

bread and the cream used on cereal.

Whipped cream sWeetenedand mixed

lightly with warm tapioca or served

with ,berries 'is relished by children

who will .tell you that they do not like

milk. By calling it-‘pu‘dding sauce or

salad dressing, the youngsters will eat

cream and butter unhesitatingly». and

get; all the benefits therefrom. , ,

Children must have butter, milk,

eggs, cream and fruits to thrive and

to gain in weight and height. The

farmer is alarmed when the pig‘or the

lamb or the colt does not'thrive, and

immediately changes the feed and tries

to discover the cause, butifew families





eve1 think to weigh the children and‘





change their diet when they lack vigor.

The common idea is to buy something

in a bottle with whichpto dose them,

when good food would accomplish the

same or better results in. less time and

without injury to the stomach. A viSit

with the children to the family physi-

cian two or three times a year, and a.

heart to heart talk with him. about the





‘ proper food would save many wrecked





lives and many undertakers’ bills. Be

sure that you1 children are getting at

least a quart of pure milk daily for

each one, with butter thickly spread

on good bread, and cream on cereals.

Then you will see results just as you





see results in feeding animals correct- '





1y. If it pays to study the needs of

animals, and it does, it pays much

better to study the proper diet for

your children.





SWEET TASTING POTATOES.





 





OTATOES with a sweet taste at



this time of the year when brought

from the root cellar and eboked, have

been kept at too low a temperature.

Potatoes stored at near the freezing

point will develop this taste, which is

objectionable to some people. If the

potatoes are brought into a warm room

for a few days before being used they

will lose this sweet taste. For seed

purposes, potatoes stored under~such

conditions are as good as any; the de-

velopment of the sweet taste is not

objectionable from the seed standpoint.

HOT LUNCH CLUBS IN CLOVER-

. LAND.





 





EARLY half the schools of Iron

county have arranged to provide

pupils with hot lunches, it is stated.

The work is so planned that it is done





 





 





mainly by the children. By this ar-

rangement the children get a. hot dish

of some sort or other' to supplement

the food brought in their lunch bas-

kets from home. It may be a cup of

hot cocoa, a. bowl of hot soup, s. hot

pudding, or a spoonful of hot potatoes.

The sshool. boards furnish the equip-

ment, says the Daily Reporter, of Iron

SHALL endeavor to give in this

I article something of the special



value. of most of the generally used

articles of food that go on our tables.





As I said in my last article, on “Eat-

ing and Drinking,” foods are divided

into several classes (major classes, we

may call them), yet each article in

each class possesses value besides

that for which it is specially classed.

All proteids contain other elements be-

sides protein; carbohydrates, some

protein and other things, and so on

with the others. The human body is

composed of about fifteen different

chemical elements and all of these are

found in the various foods we eat, in

different proportions, many of them

having medicinal value. So, in order

to supply our bodies’ individual needs,

it is necessary to know something of

the composition of foods so that we

may know what to freely eat and what

to avoid. All foods are good but all

are not good for all peOple at all times.

For instance, those who are pale and

thin—blooded need more iron in their

systems and this is easily absorbed

from the following foods which should

be partaken of freely: Spinach, which

contains thirty-three to thirty-nine per

cent of iron; asparagus comes next in

value with twenty per cent; then beef,

egg yolks, cabbage (the outer green

leaves), dandelion leaves, apples, haz-

lelnuts, red cherries, almonds, straw-

:berries,‘ carrots, black cherries, beans,

:potatoes. Quite a list to select from,

and I name them as they stand for

'their iron value. .There are other

lfoods that contain some iron, but much

smaller per cent. The thin-blooded





should also eat freely of the carbohy- .





tdratcs and such fats as agree with

lthem. All good food makes good blood

lwhen we eat sufficiently but not too

gmuch, and when we exercise and

breathe properly. And good blood

builds the body and those muscles

most used. The same food also builds

,and strengthens the brain if it is

wholesomely exercised.





, I give below a list of our common

:foods and for what special value they

are:



Cheese, made of whole milk, con-

‘tains nearly all of the nutrients of





3 milk except the milk sugar, so is a





ihighly concentrated and valuable food,

I,but should be eaten in small quantities

iand well masticated. Not chewing it

properly is why it disagrees with many

; people.



Nuts are also highly concentrated

lfood and more nutritious than most

imeats; for which they can be well'sub-





istituted but should be eaten in smaller





Quantities. The oil of nuts is also

more wholesome than animal fats.





Eggs, like milk, is almost a'perfect

diet and consumptives sometimes sub-

sist almost entirely on them. eating

from ten to eighteen or twenty a day.

They usually take them raw, some-

times lightly beaten with a little salt

or sugar to make them palatable.





Fish, though classed with meats has

so much'refuse'and the flesh contains

so much water that it is less valuable

than most ordinary meats. The idea

that fish is a brain food is erroneous,

for there is nothing in its composition

that is more brain-building than in oth-

er foods. At any rate it has never yet

been found that fish-eaters are brain-

ier than other people. , '



Of grains, wh'eat stands first for nu-

tritive value. But when the husk and

outer portions are removed 'some of

the most valuable of the grain is lost.





' The bran has wonderful laxative prin-

' ciple. - . .

but is rather more fattening than other

grains: All grain food and foods of a

starchy nature should be thoroughly

masticated or they may cause indiges-

tion. , . _



Vegetables of some kind should be

eaten the year round, and when coun-

try people, who have notac'cess to

markets, understand more of the value

of Vegetables, the kitchen garden will

cease to be so much neglected. In

summer especially no dinner is com-

plete without one or two green vege‘

tables. And the profusion of these

and fruits of all kinds whiCh‘ nature

provides shows that these things are

necessary to health.”



The heavier vegetables, such as cab-

bage, beans, sweet potatoes, are more

suited to our winter diet. Yet even,

then we have some green vegetables,

as spinach, celery.



Lettuce is especially a summer veg-

etable as it is cooling to the blood. It

is also good for the nerves and helps

to produce sleep, containing as it does

a small per cent of opium. '



,Onions also produce sleep. I con-

sider them really a wonderful remedy

for insomnia, eaten raw or cooked in

any way preferred. They are also one





 





 





 





ol‘ the best nervines known and fine

for coughs and colds.



Celery is another

also beneficial to those who have ner-

vous dyspepsia, neuralgia and rheuma-

tism.



Tomatoes are a good stimulus for

the liver, containing vegetable cal-

omel. But those subject to rheuma-

tism should avoid them as well as acid

fruits and acids of all kinds.



Apples excite the action of the liver,

and the kidney secretions, and some-

times relievn indigestion. They con-

tain more phosphoric acid in an eas-

ily digested for“ than any other fruit.



Blackberries are excellent for diarr-

hoea in allaying inflammation. Pears

have 'a laxative effect owing to the

woody particlesthey contain.



Peaches are one of the most whole—

some fruits and the banana, in spite of

being tabooed by many doctors, is a

harmless and nutritious food.



Acid fruit (a little) before meals aid

digestion and improve the complexion

and all vegetables that agree with one

are beneficial to the complexion.



Condiments occupy an important

place in seasoning. .They render food

palatable and so excite and increase

the gastric juice, thus they aid diges-

tion; too freely used, however, they

are injurious.



Some bad combinations of food are:



Milk and vegetables.



Milk and meat.



Fruit and cooked vegetables.



Fish and sweets

WHIRL of emotions enveloped

Milly as Father Allen left the

house after admitting he had op-

ened a letter to her-bankers which she

had entrusted to Tommy to-ma.il. Con-

tempt for a spirit which could stoop to

such an act yielded to admiration for

his manly admission of guilt and re-

fusal to excuse himself in any way.

Then this was swept away in a, warm

feeling of joy that little Tom had been

vindicated. The cloud which had been

bothering her for days had vanished,

and she could have danced for delight,

but that underneath this exuberance

lay a disquieting thought. '

She had regarded Father Allen with

a great deal of contempt when he ad-

mitted his guilt, quite’looked down up-

on him from the heights of her own

unassailable honor. That anyone with

whom she was even remotely connect-

ed should open another’s mail hurt her

pride. But a bothersome something

deep down underneath kept asking if,

after all, Father Allen by his. apology

hadn’t proved himself a better man

than she. She angrily insisted that

she wouldn’t stoop to such a mean

trick, but still the Something persist-

ed. At least Father Allen had apolo-

gized, it hinted. When he had done

wrong he didn’t stiffen his spine and





' refuse to admit it until someone coax-





ed him to square things. Of course,

she wouldn’t open a letter, but there

were other things for which one should

make amends.



She tried to quiet the hubub by go-

ing over again the scene with Father

Allen. How miching he had looked

when he came in, and how his whole

bearing had changed when he arose to

the occasion and made a clean breast

of it. He actually seemed to grow big-

ger physically. She knew he’d be big-

ger spiritually from that time forward.





-The‘inner Something arose to inquire





how she thought her spiritual stature

was going to react. It certainly took

courage to admit a fault.





There was no use trying to evade

the issue, she might as well take her-

self to account. She hadn’t been square

with Bob when she went ahead and

planned to start a ,poultry' business

without consulting him, but to date

she had refused toadmit to him that

she was in the wrong. She prided

herself on being the soul of honor, al-

ways ready to admit a fault, but here

she was holding out for Bob to say he

was sorry for acting like a hear about

it. . She wasn’t such a big, broad-mind-

ed person after all, just a pettish





small child, waiting to be coaxed into ‘





being good.‘ There was but one way

to reinstate herself in her own good

graces, and that was to apologize to

Bob.



Arrived at this conclusion she ran

down cellar after cream and butter.

Bob would soon be in to supper. When

,she came back he’ was at the wash-

bench cleaning up. It was now or nev-

er, disagreeable things were always

better behind you, so she took the

plunge.





“I was wrong,” she began heroically, '





then stopped astonished, for Bob was

saying the same words.





Both paused and flushed, then laugh-

ed and drew together.



“VVe’ve both been acting like spoiled

kids,” Bob finished, “and I suppose the

only thing to do is to kiss and make

“That’s the nicest way to apologize,

I’ll admit,” Milly answered, as she

wriggled out of his arms to .rescue the

A ably more than seventy-live per cent





of Michigan’s orchards will pay very

large. dividends on a little money prop-

erly invested in fertilizers to be ap-

plied about the trees. The amount of

commercial fertilizers applied to Mich

igan orchards in 1919. or even in 1920,

Was almost negligible compared to the

immensity of the industry, but we are

informed that more than 500 tons of

sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of





soda Were purchased previous to Feb- .





ruary 15 for application to Michigan

orchards in 1922. Fertilization has

spelled the difference between a small

profit and a comfortable one during

the past: year of high prices, in spite

of the fact that. yields as a whole could

‘be classed as only fair. These exam-

ples. in practically every fruit tree

section of the state, and with all kinds

of orchard fruits, have thrown a new

light upon fruit pioduction and inten

sified the industly.



The grape industiy passed through

a depression a few years ago during

which time many growers were com-

pelled to give up the business. Times

became better for the industry and in

1918 and 1919 growers received prices

of $75 and $80 per ton and in 1920

reached an average price of $115 and

$120 per ton. Prices were not as good

in 1921 as in 1920 butthey enabled the

average grower to make a. fair profit





S in spite of the low yields caused by





the freezes and frosts of last spring:

These prices have greatly stimulated

the grape industry and consequently





plantings of grapes are being made as '





fast as the plants can be grown by a





‘ small army of experienced as well as





inexperienced nurserymen. Perhaps

the thing is being overdone and we





~ may look for the tide to turn, but ”a





discussion of such is not within the

province of this article. Owners of

bearing vineyards have shown a keen

desire to make their vineyards pro—

duce the limit in the way of yields,

consistent with economical cost of pro-

duction. Consequently if one wishes

to start an interesting discussion with





farmers in southwestern Michigan, a1





suitable subject .Would be “grapes.”





A few of the more progressive fruitz





growers are interested in peaches but





the outlook for peach growing justifies 1





more interest than is being manifested

at present. The commercial acreage





,of peaches is rapidly decreasing in all f





[states east of .the Rocky ,Mountains,

except New Jersey and Georgia, and

these states do not offer serious com-

petition to Michigan growers. Cer-

tainly the planting of peach'es in Mich-





igan is one of the best bets in the.





fruit game today, provided favorable

sites are selected. .

Information from nurserymen indi-

cates that apples are being planted

very extensively this season. But per-

haps the most interesting development

is the interest the general farmers are

taking in the small apple orchards——

those of two or three to five acres in

extent. in one of the best general

farming sections of the state, more

than 100 000 barrels of apples were

shipped this past season by the farm

bureau. None of this fruit was con-

tributed by large, specialized or com-

mercial orchardists.’ Many of these

farmers made more money from their

small orchard than from the remaining

portions of their farms and this in

spite of the fact that they had given

their orchards no special, or even

standard, treatments and tint much of





the fruit would have returned double ‘ l"





the amounts had the trees been prop-

erly sprayed. In another Mon at





“the state several farmers received 11‘3“

:- grass returns of from $1, 600 to 33,000 . ~‘ .

spring plowing, establishment of a."

dust-mulch after a few weeks and the

late in summer, at which time a cover

modification of the cultivation method

is to use clover for a 'cover crop; plow

In the east, particularly in New Eng-



land, many orchards are in sod. Hence

it was a surprise to hear Professor H.

P. Sweetsler,' Maine Experiment Sta-

tion, advise Maine fruit growers as fol-

lows, at Farmers’ Week at year ago

last winter:

“The best results are obtained in

most cases from use of cultivation al-

though in some conditions it may be

possible to use the sod-mulch with suc-

cess. The cost of the two methods do

not differ very materially.” Professor

Sweetsler tells the advantages of clean

cultivation and sod-mulch thus:



“The advantages of cultivation are,

in brief: It increases aeration of soil;

increases the moisture content during

July; starts growth early in spring;

NYONE who has a desire to‘ be-



come a “miracle worker” should



follow the recipe of Edgar R.

Foxton, of Argentine, a little village

in .Genesee county, Michigan.



“An ideal stirred up well with a lib-

eral quantity of hard work. Flavor the

mixture with enthusiasm and sprinkle

with smiles.”



Foxton figured out this recipe in 1918

when he left Royal Oak, Michigan, a

suburb of Detroit, with his wife and

father and came to Argentine. He

bought a smallhouse and twelve acres

of land and labeled his purchase:

Water Lake Gardens,” because of a

lake of that name upon the shore of

which his purchase stood. In one end

of the house he opened a general store

and on the twelve acres of land he

raised corn, strawberries, raspberries

and all manner of fruits and vegeta-

bles. A canning plant was construct-

ed and the hard work started.

are:

the ground soft at spraying time in

some seasons; it breaks roots.





“In sod-mulching the advantages are:

Solid ground for spraying; windfalls

are not so badly bruised; cheaper on

rough and hilly land; prevents wash-

ing.‘ Its disadvantages are: Danger

of damage to trees in case of fire;

more danger from mice; moisture

lacking; wet season in fall, moisture

excessive.”





That the foregoing advice regarding

clean cultivation is sound, is evident

from' ten years of experimental work

with a mature orchard of Baldwins at

the New Hampshire Experiment _Sta-

tion. Clean cultivation, sod mulch,

clean cultivation with 'cover crops, and

cultivation every other year were the

methods compared.





The sod orchard was left permanent-

ly in sod Grass was mowed when t00

long to permit orchard operations and

left on the ground. The orchard~ in

clean cultivation was plowed every

spring and cultivated every two Weeks

till September 1. The' cultivated or-

orchard in which a. cover crop was

used received twenty pounds of crim-

son clover, was sown July 10. .





Yield of fruit is, of course, one of





the best yardsticks by which to meas-

ure the merit of the Various practices.

Judged in this way, clean cultivation

made an average yield for ten years,

of nearly double the yield on sod. The

growth of trees was also greater on

cultivated trees. There Was, however,

less variation from year to year on \the

sod orchards. Also, this'orchard‘suf-

fered less from frosts and freezes than

did fertilized trees in clean cultivation.

There was a larger percentage of cull

apples on the sod orchard than on culé

tivated trees. '





Better still than clean cultivation

was the modification of this method,

clean cultivation followed by a cover

crop. The yield was a trifle higher

than from the orchard in clean cultiva-

tion Without a cover crop, the tree

growth was a little better, and the

washing of soil not so bad.

that quality in food makes friends.

And anyone who has tasted of the re-

sults of Foxton’s notion will eagerly

testify in his behalf.‘ Pickles, canned

corn, chow-chow, plums, strawberries,

and all the other delicacies'that a com-

petent canner can conceive came out

of Foxton’s idea and his hard work.

And everything he cans is quickly pur-

chased and assimilated.



Foxton says that he is no “miracle

worker.” He simply had an idea and

the desire to expend the hard work

necessary to ”put it over.” In three

years he has made a big success.

From nothing to prosperity and happi~'

ness has been his achievement. And

farmers are interested in the possibil:

{ties of fruit growing as a part of





' their farming operations and that they





are willing to travel considerable dis-

tances to learn something about such

orchard practices as fertilization,

spraying and pruning. On many farms

the orchard was the only source of

crop profits last season and it has con’-

tributed its share in years when other





crops were grown at greater profits.

The small fruit growers are profiting

by the experience of two years ago





‘and are building pre-cooling plants





which are" expected to give wider dis-

tribution or to increase the radius of

shipment. Had more markets been

within shipping range in 1920, better

prices would have resulted from the

small fruit crop as a whole. Hereto-

fore the small fruit growers have sup-

plied the canners and have contributed

to the Chicago and Milwaukee mar-





, kets, but when these markets were fill-





ed there were no other outlets of con-

sequence and prices dclined. By pre-

cooling, it is hoped to cool the fruit

down to such a temperature, immedi-

ately after gathering, that it will carry

under ice as far as St. Louis, Omaha,

Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and other cit-

ies within such a territory





Fruit growers, as a whole, have far-

ed quite well -in Michigan during the

past seasons of depression. An occa-

sional fruit grower who failed to fol-

low the generally accepted require-

ments for successful fruit production,

may not have made money, but in

many'lines of farming the average

man made no money. so that the fruit

growers as a class have probably felt

the financial depression less than any

other group of farmers—in fact, there

has been a stimulation rather than a

declination of interest in fruit produc-

tion. '

Dusting with Dosch Dusts has be-

come recognized by growers and

scientific men as being the easiest,

most inexpensive and most effective

method of protecting crops from fun-

gous diseases and insect pests.





Dusting is Easier

-because Dosch Dusting Machinery

is light and simple in construction. A

light rig can go where a heavy rig





would be mired. There is no intricate





machinery. There is no water to

haul.





Dusting is Most Inexpensive-

—because, aside from the actual sav-





‘ ing in cost of equipment, more acreage





an be covered in a shorter time—

with one-fifth the usual labor.





Dusting is More Effective -





—- because the minute. particles of

Dosch Dust can penetrate out-of—the-

way places on the crop and foliage—-

that would remain untouched by

This extra fineness of





other means.

Dosch Dusts and the special “sticker”

which they contain mean that Dosch

Dusts will go everywhere—and stick.





Dosch Dusts will con ucr Scab,

Codling Moth on A p‘les, Brown

Rot on Stone Fruit, P um Curculio,

Black Rot on Grapes—as well as

other Diseases and Insects.





The Dosch Research Department,

composed of prominent plant-experts

will send you Bulletins (results of

actual experience) explaining the pro-

tection of any crop. Write this De-

partment about your trouble.



Ask particularly about Prof. Sanders'



new bulletin on “Dusting and Spray-

ing the Apple”.

ducks one drake can mate and have





goOd hatching eggs—47V.



It is the usual custom to mate five

ducks to one drakegearly in the spring.

As the season advances and-the weath-

er becomeflsimilder it is often possible

to produce good hatchable eggs by

mating seven or eight«ducks to one

drake.





 





MATING asses.





How many geese should be kept

with one gander? It is customary in

this locality just to keep three. I have

four and am told by others that the

eggs will not be fertile—J. D.



It is usually best to mate not more





than three geese with a gander. Many





breeders find the best results 'when'





only two geese are mated with a gan-

der, especially when the birds are of

the heavy breeds. It will probably pay

to sell the extra goose and not take

chances on the fertility of the eggs.





.. BRONC'HITIS.





 





I have a. hen that is gasping all the

time. Would you pleaSe tell me what

it is and what to do for her?——E. S.





When a hen gasps for breath it is

usually a sign of bronchitis. Try giv-

ing a tablespoonful of castor oil to

which you have added about five drops

of turpentine. Isolate the bird in a

warm dry place out of draughts. The

bird may throw off the cold and soon

recover, or become emaciated and die.

There is really no reason why a hen

should not recover from a cold the

same as any other animal. But the

losses are great because the condition

is often neglected unfil the bird is in

a very serious condition and badly de-

vitalizedv.





ROUP AND CHICKEN Pox.





Can you tell me what ails my chick-

ens? Their throats and mouths fill

up with yellow bunches and some of

them have some on their combs and

head. Some go blind. There is a, bad

odor to them. They canit eat, and

droop and die—J. M.





The symptoms indicate that the

hens may have a combination of rcup

and chicken pox. The most serious'

cases will probably have to be killed.

Roup is not. hard to prevent but difli-

cult to cure. Chicken pox can be cur-

ed by painting the sores with iodine.

Roup may be prevented by curing

slight colds in their first stages. Iso-

late sick birds that seem worth treat-

ment. Remove the mucous from the

nostrils. Rub the heads with camphor-

ated vaseline. An operation on the

side of the head may be necessary to

remove the cheesy accumulations.

Wash the head with a solution of some

good coal-tar disinfectant.





 





.SICK TURKEY.





We have a turkey that swells ar0und

her eyes and chokes. Would like to

know what to do.——W. T.





Turkeys sometimes have what is

sometimes called the swell-head. The

swelling will contain a. gelatinous ma-

terial and this must be drained out

and the wound washed with some dis-

infectant such as a dilute solution of

coal~tar disinfectant. Turkeys also

have colds which develop into roup.

They are caused by a lack’ of vitality

combined with exposed roosting plac-

es where the droppings have accumu-

lated. The treatment is to remove the

birds to a dry, open-front. roosting

place that is free from draughts. Tur-

keys do not mind severe cold but, like

chickens, they try to escape the severe

winds.



If the turkey seems .to have a cold

try removing any accumulaticns in the

nostrils with a cloth and then run the

head With camphcrated vaselfne. Dip-

ping the head in a dilute solution of

a coal-tar disinfectant may help to do»





‘stro‘y the infection.

eventually may perform for their mem-

bers as it is already being done in

California. ‘ ~ ,



Small producers, however, can put

eggs down in waterglass during the

season of heavy produCtion for their

own use during the fall and winter so

that most of the fresh eggs in those

seasons can be sold. Also, there is a

possibility of working up a local trade

in watergla‘ss eggs which should sell

during the winter months at about the

same ratio as cold storage eggs com-

pared with the fresh article. Further-

more, since most of the fresh eggs in

the winter are laid by-early hatched

pullets, it is worth while to have some

early chicks, preferably from stock

bred for heavy production.





Prices may drop extremely low dur-

ing the coming spring months, so low

that some producers will lose money

‘for awhile, but the egg industry as a

whole will Still be a money maker.

Eggs can be produced profitably at

lower prices than they were bridging

in December. The weighted average

farm price during the past ten years

has been about twenty-five cents per

dozen. ' '

sists of equal parts of bran, middlings '





and ground oats mixed with milk.

This can be given in the morning. Corn

should be fed at night. Breeding geese

may become too fat on a diet limited

to corn. Their digestive system is bet-

ter adapted to mash than to whole

grain. If geese become too fat it in-

jures the hatchability of the eggs. A

mash consisting of equal parts by

weight of corn meal, ground oats and

bran is also recommended for geese.





 





PROPER NESTS SAVE EGGS.





IN many poultry houses that are



properly constructed little time has

been spent in making good nests to go

with those houses. A poor system of

nests will mean broken eggs. Open

nests soon become dirty in winter from

the hens roosting on the sides of the

boxes. The hens will scratch in the

litter in an open nest and kick the

eggs abainst the sides of the box. Then

the eggs are broken and it helps to

start the egg-eating habit.



Nests should be in portable sections

so they can be taken outside occasion-

ally for sunning and spraying. When

nests are nailed to the poultry house

Some of the best nests we have

seglusion of such anest and it reduces

the danger of egg eating. There

should be about one nest to every four

hens as this prevents crowding, which

is another cause of broken eggs.

Nesfs need a. steep sloping roof so

the hens will not roost on them. They

must be deep enough so the eggs will

not r'oll out, but not too deep so the

hens will jump on the eggs. Twisted

hay makes a good nesting litter, but

the hens will gradually pick it out of

the nests so that more is needed every

few weeks. A straw litter packed into

the_corners of the nests is about as

permanent. as any. The changing of

litter does not take long and broken‘

Feed Prices Going‘Up





Buyers are T Ming Hold of tfie Marten—f—Sanderr Sax/and





EEDS are rising in price at a rapid

Frate, selling in a majority of in-



stances at the peak levels of the

crop year. Domestic feeders are tak-

ing hold on a widespread scale; in

fact, far lesshesitancy is apparent on

the part of consumers in making pur-

chases at the current high prices than

was noted during the period of ex-

tremely low markets. This is not un-

usual, however, merely indicating that

buyers, on a. rising scale‘of values, are

eager to accumulate stocks in antici-

pation of further upturns, while during

a downward movement the tendency is

to delay purchases, irrespective of the

declines already recorded, to share in

further recessions. About the ‘only

significance that may be attached to

the liberal buying now in progress is

in the fact that stocks in hands of the

trade are low, the result of light buy-

ing during the fall and early winter

months.



Cottonseed and linseed cake and

meal have advanced to a level where

feeders are hardly able to profitably

use the ,feeds. Still, in comparison

with the supplies of the high protein

products available in domestic chan-

nels, demand from the consuming trade

maybe described as active. Purchas-

es are in small lots, although scatter-

ed over a wide territory. Some for-

eign demand also has developed for

both cottonseed and the flaxseed by-

products, th-us tending to stiffen the

market. Oklahoma crushers are‘ask-

ing between $40 and $41 a ton for

prime forty-three per cent protein cake

and meal, and this is true of the range

districts of the west. Most of the buy-

ing has centered around the large feed-

ing sections of the central states, mid-

dle west: and east, among feeders of

beef cattle who have profited by the

recent strengthening of prices in live

stock markets. -



Crushers in the northwest are. a‘sk-

ing as much as $47 a ton for linseed

cake and meal, basis Minneapolis, with

oil cake at the seaboard up to $52 a

ton, the highest prices thus far on the

crop and even apprOaching the peak

levels of the past few years. Holland,

Belgium and the United Kingdom have

taken small supplies of cake from the

eastern seaboard, Which, along with

the brisk domestic demand for'spot

and thirty-day shipment, has brought

about a scarcity of offering. More or

less uncertainty pervades the trade as

to the probable trend of values for- the

high protein feeds, and, while the

trade recognizes that prices are abnor-

mally high and on an unhealthy basis

so far as a permanently broad demand

is concerned, there is doubt as to othe

prospects of declines in view ot’ the

extreme scarcity of supplies. Flaxseed

and- cottonseed have recently advanc-

ed sharply in price, indicating the

probability of small stocks for crush-

ers the remainder of the crop year.

Even in the face of such conditions,

however, it seems inadvisable to ac-

cumulate stocks of either linseed or

cottonseed cake or meal. The prices

are unreasonably high.



Bran and shorts have not hesitated

in following the generally rising ten-

dency of prices. Production of flour in





_ bath the spring and winter wheat ter-

ritory has





increased materially, al-

though still considerably below capa-

city At the swim time, it is daubti'ul

whether the supplies of bran and





shorts in consumptive channels have





 





’ket and until“ more orders «for





larger flour output, mills having made





greater sales in their local communi-

ties. Compared with a month ago,

bran prices show an advance of $3.00

to $4.00 a ton on most markets. Min-

neapolis is asking $25 to $26 a ton for

spot bran, Kansas City quotes sales V

for spot and prompt shipment. between

$24 and $25. with late March delivery

at a dollar premium. St. Louis and

Chicago are generally around $27. to

$283. ton for bran.





The rapid upturns in brown and gray

shorts or middlings are attributed in

a large‘measure to the almost remark-

able strength of hogs, which has stim-

ulated consumption of the wheat feeds

along with the use of corn. The fact

that the leading coarse grain also mov-

ed up in price and is displaying under-

lying strength on markets added to

confidence in the position of the mill

offals. In Chicago gray shorts or flour

middlings are selling up to $30 a ton.

St. Louis is quoting a top of $29, Min-

neapolis is asking around $28 for

prompt shipment, and the range of

sale in Kansas City is between $26 and

$27 a ton. Strength of the heavier

mill feeds; which had ‘been forecasted

in these columns, will probably con-

tinue to be felt during the remainder

of the Winter and well into the spring

season. The period of heaviest buy-

ing of shorts is just approaching, and

will probably be even. more than now

expected in view of the attractive po-

sition of hogs. Brown shorts are be-

ing maintained at a slight premium

above bran, but it is likely that both

brown and‘gray shorts 'will work to a.

wider premium above the light mill

offal. For the next sixty days, at least,

shorts in probably a healthier po-

sition than other feeds.





Advances in. corn and oats, while

based largely on! the sharp gains in

wheat, reflect a, rapidly strengthening

undertone in the market. Offerings of:

the coarse grains have fallen off con-

siderably, and dealers see a further

slackening in the flow of supplies from

the ocuntry as soon as renters clean

up their surplus holdings. As the

spring season approaches, an import-

ant demand develops from the south

and southeastern states, indicating

that the large yields of grain in that

terirtory on this crop have already

been consumed. On the other hand.

stocks df both corn and oats-in hands

of producers, as well as on markets,

are the largest in the history of the

trade, and this’is proving a serious

burden upon the market. Country 7

prices for corn have advanced above»

forty cents a bushel in most communi-

ties, and farmers who are converting

their surplus Stocks of the grain into

“porkers” estimate that they are re«

ceiving fully double this price. One

of the difficulties, in this connection,

is the fact that there is relatively more

com than hogs,





Fancy, leafy varieties of alfalfa hay

are in keen demand, and record pric-

es, as high as..$29 a ton, have recently

been paid in Kansas City, the largest

forage market. The cheaper offerings

of hay, however, are weak, and when

it is remembered that fully seventy-

0 what extent effective coopera-

tion tends to promote prosper-

ity of all the nine units of the

Michigan Allied Dairy Association, was

clearly demonstrated during the third

annual convention of that organization

in Saginaw, February 14-17 inclusive.

With the meeting an interesting and‘

instructive dairy ShOW was held, cov-

ering the entire main floor of the audi-

torium, which preved how completely

the business of dairy production is

linked with the business of manufac-

turing and marketing those products.

President Overton’s Opening Remarks.





The cost of production and distribu-

tion of milk must be lowered if the

dairy industry is to take its rightful

place in Michigan and in the nation,

Glen Overton, of Allegan, told the

members of the organiZation at the

opening session of the convention. He

stressed the possibility “ of reducing

production costs by securing better

cows and pure-bred sires. The average

milk production of American cows is

only half what it should be, he said,

declaring that attention to the quality

of cows ‘15 necessary to correct this

He also urged attention to

the distributing machinery of the

dairy business which he said is waste-

ful and inefficient.





Besides the realistic dairy exhibit of

the United States Department of Ag-

riculture, which visualized step by step

the economic factors involved in the

production and marketing of milk and

milk products, and which was first

shown at the national dairy show at

St. Paul, there was a smaller exhibit

by the State Department of Agricul-

ture and the ‘ Michigan Agricultural

College, showing the rapid progress

made in this state in the production

of foreign cheese by the use of Te-

c‘ently discovered cultures, and the

Wide range of condensed and powder-

ed milk. These were'the educational

features of the convention, the former

exhibit occupying the entire stage of

the auditorium and the- latter exhibit

was in the inner lobby where it at-

tracted the interest of thousands of

visitors. '



Supplementing these educational

features there was a fine display of

dairy, creamery and ice cream mak-

ing machinery put on by the “Boost-





ers.” one of the nine units of the as- _





sociation (referred to above), who





comprise the machinery and accessory





division of the organization. The dis-





plays, of greater interest, of course, to





the creamery and ice cream men,

showed the rapid strides made in re-

cent years in invention and perfecting.

of efficient machinery to handle milk

and milk products in a sanitary way,

and at much less cost than by former

methods.

Feedmg for Sprmg Lambs

How an Old Feeder Doe; I: i '1 f.

ByL. W. OViatt L





ers do not realize how much' it

means, in final results, to save

practically all the lamb crop. 'Many

yearS’ experience has taught us that





WE feel very cenfident that farm-





if we save all our lambs sucCess is as-‘





sured, while if we lose a heavy per

cent failure is almost inevitable. We

find the measure of our success here

is usually the measure of our real prof-

its in the fall.



As we drive throughout the'country

in the early spring it is not an unusual

sight to see enough dead lambs thrown

out, or up on some old‘she'd, to make

a. fine profit for the owner had they

been saved and grown to maturity.

There are many things that lead up to

success or down to failure at this

point.



In the matter of ewes owning their

lambs we find the previous care of the

ewe [is by far the most potent factor.

We all know that self preservation is,





 





the first law of nature. And while the

ewe doesn’t think yet we have never

been able to just determine where in-

stinct leaves off and reason begins.



But we do know this,'that the ewe

that is thin and out of condition is

very apt to drop her lamb and Walk

away and leave it, thus leaving both

lamb and owner in trouble. Nature

seems to say, I have not the necessary

vitality nor strength to care for this

added burden. While the ewe that has

been well fed on properly balanced

foods is vigorous and strong, her milk

starting readily, her mother’s instinct

will also be strong and there is no dan-

ger of her deserting her offspring;





The effect will also be very apparent

in the lamb. If insufficient or improp-

er feeds have been used the lamb will

be weak and lack the power to prop-

erly care for himself. While the lamb

from a properly cared for ewe may be.

dropped, as we have had them this

winter, right, out in the snow on a bit-

ter cold day and yet jump up immedi-

ately and get busy for his dinner, and

both ewe and lamb came along all

right.



However, the past is gone, but what

we do even from now on will mean

very much. Sheep should have some

form of succulence, roots or silage.

Hewever, if silage is.used it should be

good silage as rotten silage is dangers

out for sheep. We have always fed

silage liberally to our sheep and uni-

for'mly with good results. If neither

roots or silage are available we would

recommend a portion of the feed be

dried beet pulp, as a partial substitute.

While'be'et pulp is not succulent, yet it

is a vegetable feed and if the sheep

have plenty'of good water with the

pulp, it assists greatly in the digestion

and assimilation of the ether feeds be~

side its own food value.





We consider much is gained by feed- .





ing a variety of teedsoIndeed, we nev-





,in the February 4 issue of the‘ Michi-





gan Farmer, and throw the silage onto

it, thus pressing it well down in the

rack. In this way eachfeed seems to

give a relish for the other. -.All stock

enjoy a variety of feeds as well as we

do ourselves.





Many. farmers: feed' one kind .51

roughage until it is all gone then an-

other and so on. I wonder what these

farmers would think» if their wives

should say to them in the fall. “Now,

the potatoes may freeze and be spelled

so we better eat potatoes for a couple

of months. ” Then perhaps our cured

meats may not keep as the weather

warms toward spring, so we liad better

eat our meat for six or eight weeks,

then we will ‘string out’ on bread.”





What wOuld these farmers say?.Yet

this is exactly what many farmers are

asking their stock to do. .No, we should

try to store our feeds in a. manner

to make them available for mixed feed-

ing through the entire feeding season.

Stock will show their appreciation as

far as it is possible for a dumb animal

to do so.





There are scientific reasons under-'





lying mixed breeding which many do

not understand. While the protein,

carbohydrates and fat of any two feed-

stuffs may be practically the same,

we find the elements there in .just a.

little‘ different chemical combinations

and thus have a little different effect

on the digestive tract of the animal.

And we must realize that itvis net

what the animal eats but What it is

able to properly digest and assimilate

that measures the final result tous.

And experience has led us to believe

we get much better results by mixed

feeding.



And as to liberal feeding wey_f‘eel it

always pays, and especially is it true

when the price of sheep in. the mar-

kets are as high as they are at this





time and the price of feeds are at so





very low levels.



As a rule we find goodclean cull

beans about the cheapest and best for

the base of our grain ration. We have

just brought in at Sunnyside aV'car of

good clean “splits” at $10 per ton.

When we consider the high‘ protein

and mineral content of the bean and

realize what this means to the proper

development of the future offspring we

feel at this price no sheep man could

afford to not have beans for his breed-

ing ewes.



One-half beans, one-quarter corn and

one-quarter cats in bulk makes a. good

standard mixture. Oats are always

good but usually too high in price is

why we do not use more.





If the ewes have not been liberally





fed with «grain one should start in care-

fully and‘gradually increase. A good

liberal handful, or about one-fourth of '





a. pound, is a good ration for a. good-

Breeding ewes should have plenty of

exercise and air and no matter shunt





the cold up to lambing time, providing





they are ‘always kept dry. Moisture

is the natural enemy of the sheep and

should be ‘aV’oided‘ as far as possible.

Later we will try to give some expe-

rlence with little lambs. '

WHEAT '





The advance in wheat evidently out-

raced the actual demand and the mar-

ket has hesitated after reaching a new

high level on the crop, but it is in a.

strong position and further advances

are almost a certainty during the

spring months. Statistical analyses

point to import requirements for the

rest of the year as large as the known

surpluses if not slightly larger. Ex-

port buying has followed the upturn.

Germany has been a big buyer of Ar-

gentine grain, the United Kingdom is

taking Canadian. It is estimated that

around fifty per cent of the Argentine

surplus has been sold for export al-

ready. The southwestern drouth has

been relieved but much more moisture

than has fallen will be required to off-

set the effect of seven months of ex-

tremely dry weather. Furthermore,

some of the acreage has undoubtedly

been damaged beyond repair. Since

the low cendition of winter wheat was

only one factor in the advance in the

market, the rain in the southwest may

not long delay the upward trend of

prices. Receipts at primary markets

have not declined as much as reported

light farm reserves would indicate and

the visible supply is still generous.

These factors compose the chief imme-

diate obstacle to further advances.





CORN





Corn prices in the principal surplus

sections have adyanced about twenty

cents since the low point last Novem-

her and are now at the highest level

on the crop. Seventy-cent corn at Chi-

cago is easily within the range of pos-

sibilities for the spring and summer

months, as the distant deliveries are

selling around that figure now. May

corn at Chicago is selling within a

fraction of the price at this time last

year. The movement of corn from the

farm remains heavy. Primary receipts

for the seven weeks ending February

18 were 99,953,000 bushels, exceeding

.by more than forty-two per cent any

like interval on record. Domestic dis=

, ‘tribution exceeds that of last year.

.Purchases of corn by industries since

November 1 are estimated at 80,000,-

000 bushels, exceeding by more than

000 bushels, and export demand is pheA

. nomenal .with buying for Russian relief

‘only a minor factor. The movement

of cornfrom .the’Argentine and South

demand until June at least. The heavy

movement of corn from farms is, ex-

pected to last a couple of weeks longer

by which time the breaking up of the

country roads and the opening up of

spring work will check sales.





OATS





In spite of the strong statisticalopo-

sition of oats so far as the total crop

in this country and in other exporting

countries is concerned, the market

continues to drag and has advanced

proportionately less than wheat or





. corn. Export demand is becoming ac-





tive and domestic distribution of oats

is beginning to increase. Primary re-

cipts may decline in another month or

two and demand usually improves dur-

ing the spring so that a turn for the

better may not be far distant.





SEEDS





Spring buying of clover and grass

seed will be at its height during the

month of March. The advance in pric-

es of these seeds has not reduced the

farmer’s willingness to” buy as other

farm products also are higher. Inquir-

ies for clover seed have increased as

buyers fear that the market is getting

away from them.





FEEDS





High prices and favorable weather

have curtailed demand for feedstuffs

but values on most classes are firm.

Flour mill operations have increased

and offerings of wheat feeds are more

liberal. Stocks of cottonseed meal and

cake at mills on February 1 were 28,-

000 tons larger than a year ago in

spite of a smaller cotton crop, and

corn industries‘are operating nearly at

capacity so that corn feeds are abund-

ant. Linseed meal stocks are light.

Ten dollar hogs have helped advance

the tankage market as the demand is





keen, ”the supply is low and farmers

are willing to pay the price. The same

influence is supporting middlings.

With the coming of spring, middlings

will be wanted on account of the pig

crop, while as soon as pasture is avail-

able, demand for bran usually declines.





‘Middlings may sell at a substantial





premium in a. month or two.





AY ,





Demand for hay remains limited but

loadings are moderate so that prices

are practically steady in most mars

kets. The advance in live stock has

not helped the marketnoticeably. Un‘

less more rain arrives in the south-

west, that section may become a mod-

erate" buyer.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices lost ground last week.

The market has discounted'in advance

most of the spring increase in produc-

tion so that declines from the present

level should not be severe, although

the season’s low point probably has

not yet been reached. Combined re-

ceipts of eggs at Chicago, New York,

Philadelphia and Boston are about 30

per cent lighter than at this season

last year. Production has not reached

its height by any means.

T a threeday session held in their

general ofliCes in‘ the Transporta4

tion Buildmg. in Chicago, February 14-

15 16, the directors of the new Nation—

111 Live Stock Producers’ Association

laid definite plans to start cooperative





\f commission companies. The following





fundamental purposes and policies

were .adopted in order that all inter-

ests concerned may understand its ob«

jects and ultimate aims: '



_ The organization of truly coopera-

tive live stock marketing agenciesas

early as possible to be within the reach

ofall live stock producers. The mar-

kets receiving early consideration are

Chicago, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Pitts-

burgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo

and QetrOit. The National Live Stock

Producers’ Association will not be dis:

,suaded from its purpose of establish-

ing market agencies at these markets

by any other agencies or organizations

‘attempting to rush in and pre—empt

the market by prior opening. This or-

ganization carries the great responsi-

bility of establishing marketing agen«

cies on a sound business-like and ade-

quately financed basis.



The establishing of competitive live

stock marketing agencies at market

points where'such agencies already ex-

ist is not contemplated, that is, it is

the purposa of the association to co-

operate or affiliate with all properly

conducted .cooperative commiSsion

agencies conforming to or adapting

themselves to the principles outlined

by the national plan as adopted by the

general conference.



To carry on a broad campaign of ed-

ucation which stresses the way and

means to secure more orderly market—

ing of live stock. The securing of de-

pendable information as to all sup-

plies, which information must be intel-

ligently interpreted and put into use

by live stock producers and live stock

shipping and marketing agencies, that





. have a. genuine desire‘and willingness





to cooperate for the good of all con-

Cerned. Organizations of large num-

bers of producers properly organized

and conducted on a strictly coopera-

tive plan are essential to real enduring

success.-





This association maintains that live“





stock marketing agencies owned and

controlled by live stock producers have





the same right and privileges as otherq

live stock marketing agencies and will '





demand the. discontinuance of any ef-

fort to handicap or discriminate

against such agencies at the terminal

markets.





e





THE CONDENsED MILK MARKET.





 





 





HERE is little change in the gen





eral situation so far as condensed





milk products ar concerned. Little

has occurred of 1a to promote a feel-

ing of optimism among the condensed

milk manufacturers as few new outlets

have opened up. In addition, the sea-

son of maximum milk. production is

drawing near, which means that the

already ample surplus stocks will be

increased. Reports' indicate that many

plants are manufacturing butter and

that they will continue to do so until

the market for condensed milk as-

sumes a more favorable aspect. There

is a continued tendency on the part of

some of the largest organizations to





'dispose of their plants where it can





ge done without too much of a sacri-

ce.



The one bright spot in the general

situation is the demand for condensed

and, evaporated milk .for European re

lief. It is reported from an authorita-

tive source that during the month ’of

January fully 350,000 cases were pur-

chased and that further extensive or-

ders are anticipated. It is known that

bids were opened last week for 5.0, 000

cases of either evaporated or conden-

sed milk and it is stated that evapor-

ated was taken. A further order for

April delivery of 100, 000 cases of con-

densed is now open for bids.



Domestic consumption seems to

WORLD capes FOR 1921.





 





HE following figures, prepared by'=

the International Agricultural. In- ’





stitute, show the comparison of crops





for 1921 with those of the previous





year: Wheat yield was 80 per cent

greater; oats decreased 12 per cent;

rye increased 39 per cent; barley in-

creased one per cent; corn decreased

five per cent; potatoes decreased 11

per cent; beet sugar in Europe in-

creased three per cent.





‘ BEANS





A spectacular rise occurred in the

bean market last week, Michigan

beans 1’. o. b. shipping points reaching

$6. 35@6. 40 for the choice hand- piCked

white stock at the close. Although

two lots, one of 800 tons and another

of 1, 000 tons, were sold for export to

Europe during the week, the market is

high enough to permit imports from

the Orient. It will be some time, how-

ever, before such beans could reach

this country. There is a possibility

that further advances from this level

will be hard to accomplish in the im-

mediate future as prices ale nearly

twice‘ as high as at the low point last

season. Statistically, the position of

beans is extremely strong.





WOOL





The wool market has quieted down

considerably in the last few weeks.

Quotations on some of the very infer-

ior wools may be slightly lower, other-

wise they remain piactically unchang-

ed in this country although declines

of five to ten per cent have been noted

in both British. and Australian auc-

tions. The woolen goods market is re-

ported unsatisfactory although the

American Woolen Company has with-

drawn many of. its lines of fall goods.

Woolen mills are less active than they

were six weeks ago. Speculative ef-

forts to advancethe price of wool have

practically ceased. The Boston mar-

ket is quoted as follows:



Michigan and New York fleeces.

delaine unwashed at 44@450 a pound;

fine unwashed 34@360; half-blood un—

washed 39@41c; three-eighth blood

unwashed 39@4lc; quarter-blood un-

washed 37@39c.

MELOTTE, the Edison of Europe, r-manufacturer of the greatest Cream



Separator the world has ever known, announces a sweeping reduction in

prices. Labor conditions in general together with tremendous re-building and

re-organizing efforts put forth by this big man of Belgium has resulted in cut-

ting production costs to the bone. -





And right now at Mi: particular time exchange rates are extremely favorable. Take advantage of

this condition while it lasts. Get the most for your American dollar. Buy now and save money.





Belgium, 1m





 





Reduced 22% '





Before buying any separator find out how the Melotte has won 264 Grand and International

Prizes and how, for efficiency of skimming, ease of turning, convenience of'ope'ration and

durability—the Great Belgium Melotte has won every important European contest. Find out

why 500,000 Melotte Separators are in continuous use today.





Sell-Balancing Bowl . A





The Belgium Melotte is the only single-bearing—bowl separator made.This patented bowl hangs from one fric-

tionless ball bearing and spins like a top. It is self-balancing. It skims as perfectly after 15 years' use as when

new. Positively can not ever get out of balance-can not vibrate and thus cause cross currents which waste cream

by re-mixing with the milk. The 600 lb. Melotte turns as easily as the 300 lb. machine of other makes. Spins for

25 minutes unless brake is applied. No other separator has or needs a brake. The Melotte bowl has solved the

problem of perfect skimming.





Our 15 Year Guarantee What U. 8. Government





Every Belgium imported Melotte Cream Separator is s s :





sold under an absolute. ironbound. 15-year guarantee.

No Melotte is ever sold except under this guarantee. A

guarantee written in plain English so that you can un-

derstand it. A guarantee that is 100% stronger than any

other separator guarantee ever made. A guarantee that

really guarantees something—upon which you can ab-

solutely rely-an absolute protection to the purchaser.

and which binds us to our bargain.





6



Vibration of a cream separator’s bowl will soon cost

you more money in cream waste than the price of

your separator. U. S. Government Bulletin No. 201

says that a perfectly true motion of the bowl is abso-

lutely necessary. the bowl is the vital part of any

separator—the part where the cream separation takes

p ace.
