CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:


The rolling stone oi‘ten gathers re-

morse.


Every important issue is said to

have two sides—the wrong side and

our side.


The present tax situation puts on us

faces long enough to eat oats out of a.

sap bucket.


It is time that the prodigal father

who wasted his energy following in-

convenient, awkward and uneconomic

ways should return to his younger son,

Efﬁciency.


AIRY farmers are


“Filled” confronted with

, a serious menace to

Dan‘y their industry in the

Products growth of the ﬁlled


milk industry and the

manufacture of new butter substitutes

in which the fat of cocoanut oil is used

as a. substitute for butter-fat. The ex;

tent of. this development is shown by

the growth of imports of cocoanut oil,

which increased from something like

twelve thousand pounds in 1916 to eight

million pounds in 1920. The present

price of this substitute fat is around

twelve cents per pound. It will at

once be seen that the substitution of

this encrmous amount of cheap fat for

butter-fat cannot but have a. most de-

pressing effect upon the market for

all products containing butter-fat.

A considerable amount of this sub-

stitute fat is being used in the produc-

- tion of “ﬁlled? milk. In the process of

manufacture of these ﬁlled products

the butter-fat is removed from the

milk and the fat of cocoanut oil is in-

corporated with the evaporated skim-

milk. One large plant in Michigan is

now manufacturing a ﬁlled milk, and

there is a strong likelihood that un-

less this practice is prohibited or regu-

lated by law other manufacturers will

be forced to follow suit in self-defense.

In the meantime these manufacturing

interests and the soap manufacturers

are said to be making strenuous efforts

for a reduction of the tariff on cocoa-

nut oil. Organized dairymen in Mich-

iganand other states are very prop-

erly using their inﬂuence toward «se-


curing the passage of needed legisla- '


tion for the protection of their indus-

- try. They are favoring the passage of

the Voigt bill, now before the Senate

’ Finance Committee at Washington,

which Would prohibit the manufacture

of ﬁlled milk, as the manufacture of ,

3» (ﬁlled cheese is now, prohibited, .


farmer. '

tion prove this contention to be cor-


of public health as well as the protec-

tion of an important agricultural in-

d-ustry. Filled milk is a menace to

both. It is in the some class, as ﬁlled

cheese, and the same good reasons

obtain for prohibiting its ’manufacture.


HERE‘ is a story


T7 going the rounds,


. . as follows: A man

Ehm’nator in a restaurant orders

18 Broken eggs, potatoes, coffee,


\ etc. His friend says

to the waiter, “Bring me the same but.

eliminate the eggs.” In a little while

the waiter comes back and asks, “How

did you want those eggs?” The man

replies, “I want them eliminated?” Af-

ter another consultation with the cook,

the waiter comes back and says, “Sor-

ry, sir, but the cook says 'the eliminat-

or is broken this morning.”


-There is no moral to be gained from

this joke, but we may well say that in

another and greater way an eliminator

is broken. And that is with reference

.to the farmer.


The farmer has been lauded as a

sturdy son of the soil, the man ,to

whom the country looks for its food,

the foundation rock of American indus-

try. For some reason or other he has

been just that. Generally speaking, the

business and ﬁnancial activities of the

world have been outside of the sphere

of his knowledge.


But recent deve‘lopments, especially

the late deﬂation in prices of farm

commodities, have brought the farmer

to the realization that farming is a


business as well as an occupation. So

through organization and cooperative


effort he has made his strength felt

throughout the country, and his de-


mands are now being heard and

heeded.


The business interests know that

they have him to consider on an equal

basis with themselves. And the money

merchants have come to realize that

he is ‘a good customer and must be

given accommodation in accordance

with his needs. Both business and

ﬁnance have learned that his success

is one of the greatest factors in their

successes, and’ therefore he should be

justly treated. ‘


There is much» to be done yet but

the present tendencies mean that we

are in the dawn of a new tomorrow

for the farmer. It means not only that

but more. It means that we are com-

ing to a greater democracy for the

rights and privileges formerly held by

the few are being extended to the

many.


Thus we believe that one great

class and industrial eliminator is be.

ing smashed forever.


BOUT a year ago


Hubam a central M10111-


(1 he gan dairy farmer con-

art t ceived the idea of

Dairyman growing Hubam clo-


ver with his corn in

order to increase the protein content

of his roughage feed. By this means

he hoped to greatly reduce the amount

of concentrated protein feed that he

is now called upon to purchase.


With this thought in mind he secur-

ed from the Michigan Crop ImproVe-

ment Association the required amount

of seed and drilled it in the rows

with his corn. The season was far

from ideal for the production of a

large tonnage but to the eye it appear-

ed that the corn was somewhat better

where the clover was grown than

where it was not. The crops were

harvested together and put into the

silo.


He has not been able, to make any

accurate tests but he feels certain that

his original idea is sound and ‘that‘phere

is a. crop that will aid materially in

balancing up the/ration of the dairy

cows to the ﬁnancial AadVantageef the

Should, careful experimenta-


program of the dairy farmer. . ~

already won its way to the heart of

the bee man. Consequently we are


grg’dua‘lly being led to believe that this


new crop may furnish a connecting

link in our cropping system that will


aid materially in making our land ﬂow '


with milk and honey.


1


HERE. are more


tenants on Amer-


FThe ican farms to day


' arm than there has ever

Tennant ' been in the history of


the country. What

does it mean? Does it indicate that

our rural people are headed torrard the

level of the peasantry of 'older coun-

tries, Or does it mean that a larger and


larger number of young men are aux?


ions to be farmers and are taking-this

course to establish themselves upon

farms of their own?


Economic conditions determine quite

largely whether there be many or few.

who seek to enter the ranks as farmers.


If these conditions be bad as compared ,


with the conditions surrounding other

industries then farm tenancy may be

looked upon as a sign of a decaying

agriculture—of men who once owned

land but who are now gradually going

into bankruptcy. On the other hand, if

the business of farming shows a .rea-

sonable labor income and good inter-

est on the capital invested in the enter-

prise then without doubt the coming

generation will take advantage of the

opportunity to rent farms as the ﬁrst

step toward securing farms of their

own.


So the mere fact that farm tenancy

is on the increase signiﬁes little of it-

self. We must rather look to the con-

ditions surrounding agriculture. If

those conditions are becoming unbear~

able then we have occasion to be

somewhat alarmed, and vice versa. In

other words, the question of increase in

the number of tenants is an indication

of the general health of agriculture

showing either that it is coming down

with a bad cold or is growing hale and

hearty. Although there are many

places where considerable adjustment


is needed, our opinion is that agricul- .


turé is not a bad business for the

young man to tie to.


ITH the great


need for taxes


The qu to carry on public

Exam?”0n work and to care for

Ev), . our war indebtedness,


students of economics

have come to realize that the biggest

hindrance to an equitable taxation is

the tax-exempt security. With over

thirty billions, or one—tenth of the na-

tion’s wealth tied up in this manner

sentiment is growing for a. constitu-

tional amendment prohibiting the issu-

ance of this class of securities. ‘


Investigation has shown that many

wealthy people, by converting their as-

sets into tax-exempt securities, have

added thousands of- dollars to their net

incomes from these assets and have

deprived the government of equally as

much in tax money.


Government securities are tax free

and mortgages and mortgage bonds

escape with a- single tax of one-half of

one per cent. Since the mortgage tax

law was made effective in 1912 more

than one and one half billions of Mich-

igan money have been made tax free

for a number of years, excepting the

half of one per cent tax. From this

the state has received in ten years


only $3,945,171 when it should have


received ten times that amount. Under

the bond exemption law over’two hun-

dred and two million dollars of Michi-

gan money are invested in outside in-

dustry and are lost to the state for


taxing purposes

' . ‘ . ter of a century

Acz‘bAg" [since the peak of pro-

_ a". "d duction of agricultur-

Policy 111 products per cap-


its was reached in

this Country. Following that date pro-‘

duetion kept pace with the increase

in population for about a decade when

it began to lose ground more and more

rapidly untilat the present time we

are essentially a food-importing na-

tion; that is, we import, as measured

by dollars, more sugar, spices, nuts,

coffee, tea and tropical fruits than we

export wheat and meat.


We certainly desire that our ‘nation-

a1 development continue. It has, how-

ever, been the history of older nations

that as soon as they ceased to be sur-

plus food-producers the rate of in-

crease in population was rapidly modi-

ﬁed. Every person who has given the

matter study knows well enough that

we have not even approached the ag-

ricultural possibilities of the country.

It is important to both agriculture and

the nation, however, that we proceed

to give agriculture a real chance to

live before we, as a nation, choose to

depend upon. food products of countries

having lower production costs.

I’VE been a readin’ lots about in-


creasin’ milk producshun and I

know it’s good readin’ ’cause the in-

spirashun I got thereby has pleased

my cows so much that they are now

perfectly willing to pay for their board.


Milk is the universal food of man I


and beast and I can say Without Sophie

disputin’ me, that it has started many

a man on the road

to livin’ and has

made lots 0’ wom-

en able' to show

the man how to

live


But wit h all

this importance,

there’s another

kind of milk pro.

ducshun that is

lots greater what is prodigiously neg-

lected. And that is the milk 0’ human

kindness.


Seems like there is t1 emendous pos-

sibilities in this, and you don’t have

to breed a newkind 0’ folks to do it.

The grade humans and the cross-breds

what is existin’ now has facilities for

increasin’ producshun considerably.


Like with the dairy cow, there's lots

0’ ways of increasin the producshun of

this valuable prod-not. For inst, the

subject .of balanced rashuns is an im-

portant one, There’s many a man

what hates his wife and lots of others,

’cause she gives him bum pancakes for

breakfast. The cook has got what you

call a great responsibility in this

matter. ' .


Now, they ain’t got no milkin’ ma-

chine for gettin’ this out, but there's

lots of us what dont give-down as

much on this kindness milk for some

folks as for others. _ ‘Just like the cow,

it depends ”a lot on who is doin’ the

milkin’.


.\ .And some of us has got lots of it in

us, but don’t give it to nobody, so it

gets caked and hard. When human

kindness gets in that condition of af-


fairs, it needs what you call spiritual ’


attention.


Readin’ will help in this like in

dairyin’. You never can learn too

much about subjects. what involve you.

There’s lots of good books on the sub-

ject, but there' s one what is like Hen-

ry' s Feeds and Feedin’ is on the sub-

HE farmers of Michigan have

made such a success of market-

ing potatoes and grain through

the Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex-

change and the Michigan Elevator Ex-

change, that the fruit'men are getting

it Fruit Growers’ Exchange ready to

take care‘ of ”this year’s crop. The

Michigan Live Stock Exchange has

taken deﬁnite steps to establish com-

mission houses at Detroit and Buffalo.

Quite naturally, the dairymen will

be looking for some such solution in

the near future.

, We already have many successful

cooperative creameries and cheese fac-

tories and ,_ seven cooperative whole

milk distributing plants. The one at

Lansing is nearly ready to begin build-

ing, with four hundred of the best

dairymen around Lansing signed as

stockholders, at forty dollars per cow.

In Menominee county, the section of

Michigan where more cheese is made

than in any other like area, the farm-

ers are investigating the Wisconsin

Cheese Federation, which has done so

much for the farmers of that state.

Wisconsin produces 'seventy per

cent of all cheese made in the United

States, and quite naturally they would

be the ones to ﬁrst take up the work.

We ﬁnd the cause for the Cheese Fed-

eration of Wisconsin was about the

same as the cause'for all other farm-

ers’ organizations. There never was

an association organized by -the farm-

er‘s which Was not an outgrowth of

dissastisfaction. Where \farmers are

satisﬁed with their marketing condi-

tions they cannot be organized for

marketing purposes. '


The Wisconsin Federation is a farm-

ers’ cooperative selling association,

owned and~ controlled by the farmers.

The main object of the federation is

to increase returns to farmers’on their

cheese by reducing marketing costs

and by advertising and selling on a

quality basis.


Before the federation was started,

the Plymouth 'board cheese market

was manipulated by dealers. The price

was set for each week by auction

sales. The dealers agreed among

themselves not to bid against each


other, thus the price was kept lower


than _it would otherwise have been.

This condition was very detrimental


to the farmers Who were furnishing


their milk to cheese factories.

Some of the factories are new and

owned by a cheese maker, and some


are cooperative, but in both cases the

farmer pays by the pound for making

the cheese, is still owner of the cheese

made from his milk, and decides when

it_comes to the question of how it shall

be marketed.


When the Federation entered the

Plymouth ‘Board, of course, the men

who had divided their territory were

not able to conduct their work as in

the past. Since that time all cheese

has been marketed on a competitive

basis, which has bettered conditions

for the producers.


This federation was organized in

1914 and has made a very steady

growth. The ﬁrst year they marketed

(3,125,480 pounds of cheese and in 1919

14,098,021 pounds. The receipts for

the ﬁrst six months of 1921 were the

largest in their history.


At the present time 120 factories are

in the association. Factories joining

the federation must pay a ten dollar

membership fee and sign a contract to


sell its cheese through the federation-


for a period of ﬁve years.


They have several warehouses to

Which the cheese is delivered where it

is kept in a cooler until ready to ship.


Here it is tested, weighed, stamped,

paraﬁned and heated for shipment, all ’

grades being pooled separately each

week.


In 1920 cheese was shipped to thirty-

seven different states. ,


These warehouses are ﬁnanced by

selling preferred stock to farmers or

anyone else who wishes to buy. The

common stock is held by the directors

of the federation and is the voting

stock. By this arrangement their com-

petitors cannot buy up the voting stock

and get control of the warehouses.


The federation did notr expect .to

build warehouses when they started

because there were several warehous-

es which were for rent for storage pur-

poses. However, when the farmers

wished to rent they found they had all

been taken by the cheese dealers, so

they were compelled to wait until they

could build, before beginning business.


In 1920 the members of the federa-

tion were paid patronage dividends

amounting to $64,000 and $50,000 were

put into storage warehouses, with $15,-

000 left in the treasury.


One cheese section in Minnesota has

formed a cheese company comprising

thirty—three factories. This company

has built a warehouse and cooler from '

Here is what is happening in other


states. Of the 12,500 oneroom schools

in Iowa, over 3,300 have been aban-

doned. In Indiana 4,000 have been


closed, and there are 4,853 left. North

Dakota has taken 25,000 farm children

out of one-room schools in the past

seven years. Oklahoma has two whole

counties without a single one-room

school. In the past year Utah reduced

the number of one-teacher schools

eighteen per cent. One hundred and

forty—four consolidations of districts

with one-room schools were made in

1919-1920 in Texas. And so on in every

state we ﬁnd that consolidation is gain-

ing foothold and proving its advan-

tages over the one-room school every

day.


Already more than two million coun-

try pupils are attending consolidated

rural schools. Consolidation means a

high-school education brought to the

door of every farm home. It means an

education that faces boys and girls to—

ward the t‘arm, teaches them in terms

of: home-making, teaches them to live,

and live well, on the farm, and to love

life in the open.
Mr. Automobile Owner, do

you realize that in 1921 there

were 15,000 death cases and

150,000 personal injury claims

caused by automobile acci-

dents? In many of these

claims settlementswere made

'for from one to ﬁve thousand

dollars but few automobile

owners could stand such se‘r-

ious losses. With trafﬁc on

the increase, with good roads,

with the congestion of auto-

mobiles upon many high-

ways, it is unwise to go with:

out automobile insurance. You

are able to obtain your insur-

ance in a mutual company at'

a very reasonable rate.


You should select a com-

pany that has an organiza-

‘tion throughout the state so

that if you are traveling in

any part and have a serious

accident, by wiring to the

company you can obtain the

name of the local agent or at-

torney who will give you as-

sistance. Select a company

that is complying with the re-


- quest of the insurance depart-

ment by building up a liabil-

ity reserve.


If you are not insured or if

you would like an agency to

write-insurance, it will pay

you to write to

TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN.


HROUGH the efforts of the Amer-


ican Farm Bureau Federation and

other farm organizations, $728,000 was

put into the appropriation to pay in-

demnitles on cattle tested and found

to have tuberculosis, more than was

proposed by the committee. The ap—

proprlation also provides $850, 000 for


testing and administrative work. To»


date 82,200 herds have been tested in

cooperation with state authorities and

accredited as free from tuberculosis.

The disease has been practically elim-


inated from 100 counties in twenty-_


three states and has resulted in the

gradual decrease in amount of tuber-

culosis in herds that'are being tested.


The county unit plan is working sat«

isfactorily. Last year the ﬁrst county

was officially declared to be free from

tuberculosis. In Michigan twenty-nine

counties are engaged in the work and

four others are ready to begin under

this system.


SOME NEW FEDERAL HIGHWAY

BILLS.


W0 highway; aid bills are being

considered by the house commit-

tee on roads. One introduced by Rep-

resentative Woodruﬁ, of Michigan,

calls for an appropriation for the ﬁscal

year ending June 30, 1923, or $50,000,-

000; for the next year, $60,000,000,

and for the next $75,000,000. It con-

tinues the ﬁfty-ﬁfty federal and state

arrangement with $20,000 maximum

federal aid per mile. The other bill

,introduced by Congressman Dunn, of

New York, chairman of the roads com-

mittee, would appropriate $40,000,000,

$50,000,000 and $60,000,000 for the next

three years respectively, and cuts the

federal appropriation to twenty-ﬁve

per cent of the cost of the highway,

limiting the expenditures to $7,500 "per

mile.

The American Farm Bureau Feder-

ation and state highway commission.

ers are in favor of the Woodruﬁ? bill.


INCREASE IN TRUCKS AND AUTO-

MOBILES.


HE nearly 10,000,000 trucks and


automobiles traveling our high-

ways represents a tremendous amount

of property which should be protected

as much as possible from deteriora-

tion as well as expediting its travel. In

1910 the trucks numbered 14,000, in.

1918, 250,000, and in 1921, 1,346,000.

This shows that in the past ﬁve years

the number of trucks used for trans-

portation has increased over 1,000,000.

When we realize that only 12,000 of

these trucks are used in the country

to take children to school, that hun-

dreds of .motor express lines with reg-


ular schedules have been established,‘


that 6,000,000 head of cattle were

transported by truck in 1921, and that

the farmer has just begun to use the

truck to carry his products to market,

it is easily discernible that the use of

the highway for this mode of transpor-

tation is in its infancy. The number

of automobiles in this country in 1910

.was 437,000. In 1016 it had increased

"Within the next éﬂve

years it made a leap .to 8 404 000 an

~. . HERE is nothing quite so aggra-

. vating as to have to get your

vegetables out of V a tin can in-

spring, when all your neighbors can


i go into their gardens and get appetiz-


ing greens, radishes, and other good

things in profusion. The rather solid

diet of winter combined with the se-

verity of the weather puts the system

into that condition so that the ﬁrst

fresh, green things upon the table taste

like a million dollars. Of course, one

The early vegetables not only taste

the ’best, but if there is a surplus,

bring the most money. For this rea-

son, anybody who can possibly do a

little fussing in the house or with a

cold frame will be repaid handsomely

for all..the trouble taken. ~


It is not necessary to have a green-

house to insure early vegetables, or

den. The boxes may be as shallow as

two and a quarter inches, but an inch

or two more is better.’ Be sure that

there are holes in bottom for drinking.


Filling the box any old way will not

bring the ’best results. The most suc-

cessful gardeners ﬁll the boxes loosely


,and then scrape the earth level with


the top with a stick, and then press

the soil down with a small piece of

board, leaving the'top of the soil about

one-half inch below the top of the box.

A better stand of plants will usually

result if the last half-inch of soil put

into the box before pressing. it down

is sand. The seed should be sown in

this layer of sand and close to the soil

beneath.


Sowing the seeds in these indoor

boxes is quite an art. If they are sown

too thickly there is great danger of

rotting off, and if sown too thin, valu-

able space is wasted. Make a shallow

trench about a quarter of an inch deep

crosswise of the box with the ﬁnger or


otherwise few farmers would ever get

them. A hotbed is desirable, but be-

cause of the difﬁculty in getting the

proper material for heating the hotbed,

and because of_the care needed to op-

erate it successfully, it is considered

of questionable value to the man with

a small garden, to the beginner, or the

farmer.


In plaCe of the hotbed the cold frame .


is a good substitute. The cold frame

is merely a box or frame covered with

glass, having the south side somewhat

lower than the north. It can be inex-

pensively made by using storm sash.

Lettuce and radish can be grown 'to


_ maturity in it, While it is a very handy


device for securing early plants for

setting out later.


It has always been my plan to start

as many plants indoors as possible.

Sometimes I would hurry up matters

by buying greenhouse plants, but as a

rule results were better by using the

hardier cold frame plants. I have also

found that if the seed is sown in boxes

in the house, then transplanted to the

cold frame, and then to the garden,

that crops could be secured almost as

early as with the hotbed. Of course,

all through this article I am speaking

in terms of the home garden, becauSe

commercial gardeners cannot transfer

their' preliminary. operations to the

house. .


_. The man who has once gone into his

garden in early March .to secure soil


' for his boxes, cold frame, etc., will be


more forehanded the next time, and

gather it in fall before the frost comes.

However, if you did' not collect the


._ . soil last fall, get the soil some sunny

< l'day. and let it thaw indoors.

‘Jlittle sandwith it if possible, and also

; box. Before" starting the seed box, let

, the soil warm up and dry until it does

not packjin a hard lump when squeez-


a dull pointed stick. A trench marker

may be used, of course. The distance

between the rows is usually from one

and a quarter to two inches.


Immediately after seeding, enough

water should be put on the boxes to

moisten the soil but not to make it

muddy. If the boxes are placed in the

sink when they are watered, and the

moisture allowed to run off, no dam-

age will be done to furniture and rugs

in the house. A pane of glass should'

be put over the boxes to prevent loss

of moisture, .and they are then set in

a warm place. This cover should be

removed as soon as the plants break

through the soil.


Do not keep the boxes where it is

too warm, because that causes soft and

spongy plants. Unless plenty of light

is furnished, the plants will be yellow

and spindly. Do not water the plants

often with little dabs of water, or less

frequently with large quantities, but

give them just enough so that the soil

is moistened through. Do not water

again until the surface appears lighter

in color. Too frequent watering causes

choking of the plants, and too much

water drowns them.


The plants cannot remain in these

boxes very long, or they will begin to

crowd and become long-stemmed. Ac-

cording to Professor J. G. Moore, of

the Wisconsin College of Agriculture:


. “Four boxes for transplanting, one

for tomatoes, peppers and egg plant

(if the latter are grown), one for let-

tuce, one for cabbage and cauliﬂower,

and one for celery, will meet the de-

mands of the average gardener. A box

twelve inches square will hold thirty-

six plants set two inches by two inch-

es, or sixtyefOur when planted one and

a‘ half inches by one and-a half inches.


Plants started indoors often die

when set outdoors because they are

not “hardened off” properly. Too sud-

den changes are fatal. ,Setting the

VALUE OF BUCKWHEAT MID-

DLINGS.


Vt’ould buckwheat middlings be a

good feed for cows during the summer

while on grass? Would it be better to

add corn meal to the buckwheat mid-

dlings? How much should one feed

to produce milk at the most proﬁt ?——P.


Buckwheat middlings is an excellent

feed for dairy cows, either while on

pasture or on winter rations. During

the ﬂush pasture months, such as May,

June and the very ﬁrst of July usually

are, it would probably be well to add

cornmeal to the buckwheat middlings,

using a mixture of perhaps one-third

cornmeal and two-thirds buckwheat

middlings. As the pasture dries up

later in the season part, or all, _of the

cornmeal may be eliminated. The

amount of grain to be fed on pasture

depends upon a number of different

factors. Heifers and young cows will

require more than mature cows in the

same condition. ,Cows in .poorﬁesh

will also naturally require more. The

prices for dairy production also deter-

mine whether or not grain may be fed

proﬁtably. It is safe to say, however,

that as a. usual thing a Jersey cow

_ milk daily, or a Holstein cow giving'

be experienced at ﬁrst, but cows re-

ceiving grain on pasture will hold up

better 111 their milk ﬂow later in the

season and effect will be noticeable in

the next lactation period. It is also

difﬁcult to give a rule for feeding

grain on pasture, however, one pound

of grain for every four to six pounds

of milk may be fed and usually with

proﬁt, the amount depending upon the

age, condition, time in lactation period

of the, cow, and market prices of feed

and milk—J. A. W.


MANAGEMENT OF MARSH LAND.


We have about twenty-ﬁve acres of

marsh land and would like to put some

hay seed or clover with timothy. But

it is soft and it is impossible to get in

them with the team, in places in the

spring of the year.

running through. Would it be wise to

dig several ditches into it, to drain

same, then plant it up and sow oats

with clover the same spring ?——W S.


In order to make your marsh land

produce proﬁtably, it should be drain-

ed. When land is in need of drain-

age, capital should be expended for

this purpose before fertilizers, lime

and other improvements are invested

in, because these improvements will

not be efﬁcient until drainage is se-

culed.


When a piece of land is so poorly

drained that it is impossible to culti-

vate, it is very difﬁcult to get grasses

and legumes to produce well.


Blue joint is one of the best grasses

for wet soils. The seed is produced in

such small quantities, however, that it

is impossible to secure it commer-

cially.


One of the best mixtures for marsh

laud consists of four pounds of timo‘

thy and four to six pounds of alsike

clover seed per acre.-—C. R. M.

usually does much better than red clo-

Either orchard grass or red-top

hold much better than timothy. Would

suggest a seeding of four pounds of

alslke, six pounds of orchard grass and

two pounds of red-top per acre, making

seeding as early as possible in spring.

A light planting of cats or barley, not

more than one bushel, will greatly help

the seeding as compared with heavier

plantings—J. F. C.


A BEE QUESTION.


I caught a swarm of. bees last July

and they seemed to get along all right

until this winter. They are in an un-

used room of the house and one warm

day a lot of them got out and they all

died around on the ﬂoor. Since then

there has been a. few get out once in

a while and they all die. They are in

a box instead of a regular hive so we

can’t keep it absolutely tgiht. Can

you tell me why they die when they

get out? There is plenty of honey in

the hive—J. J. ,. ,


The difﬁculty experienced is doubt-‘

less due to the temperature becoming

too high .in the room in which 'the

bees were kept. Bees should not be in


It has two creeks'


ture ever goes above ﬁfty degrees F.

When it gees higher than that, the

bees' become exceedingly restless,


crawl out of the hives and become:


lost.


‘ In order that a bee may returrt to

its hive, the hive must be.in the open

air where the bee can ﬂy out in front

of the hive and see not only the hive,

but other surrounding objects. In the

case of your correspondent’ this con-

dition was not present.


When bees are kept in a room with

Windows, they are attracted to the

light and sometimes thousands of them

die on the window ledge, after wear-

ing themselves out in trying to get,

through the glass.——B. F. K.


POTATO PLANTING ADVICE.


I would like to know what your

advice is in planting potatoes and

what time you would plant late pota-

toes this yea1 ?——W:


Relative to prospethive market con-

ditions it is difﬁcult to forecast far

ahead as to the advisability of plant-

ing large acreages of potatoes. How-

ever, take it over a. period of ﬁve or

ten years the man who plants about

the same acreage each year usually

comes out well ﬁnancially, provided he

has produced his crop economically.


In order to produce potatoes econom-


ically it means that one must get a.

comparatively big yield per acre. The

average yield per acre this year for

Michigan was seventy-eight bushels.

No doubt this average could have been

raised to 125 or 150 if growers had

more generally adopted better cultural

practices.

. The usual planting date for late p0-

tatoes in this section of the state is

about the middle of June. _,Last year,

due to adverse weather conditions, po-

tatoes that were planted somewhat

later than this date, say the latter part

of June and the ﬁrst of July, gave bet-

ter yields than the earlier planted

seed. The main object is to put the

potatoes in at such a time that they

will be setting during the cooler part

of the growing season which is usually

the latter part of August and the fore

part of September.—H. C. M.


WILD RICE.


I am thinking of raising some musk-

rat. I want to plant some wild rice

in a three-acre pond if it will grow

here. The pond is dry from two‘ to

three months in the summer. Is wild

rice a noxious weed? Where can I

get the seed?——F. W. -


Wild rice grows naturally in a great

number of Michigan shallow lakes and

bays. It usually grows best in water

which ranges in depth from one to four

feet.


Seed for planting can be secured

from Mr. John Baird, State Game War-

dén,’ Lansing, Michigan, or it may be

purchased from distributors.


The Michigan State Game Depart-

ment has in the past distributed seed

of wild rice to those who are interest-


'ed in increasing the feeding grounds


of game. ' The seed is packed in balls

of clay done up in mosquito netting

and shipped in a small keg. These

should be diopped overboard from a.

boat or tossed from the shore where

conditions are right for growth.


If the earth in your pond remains

moist during the,period that the water

is out of it, wild rice would carry

through the summer successfully. Wild

rice is not ‘a’noxious weed, but often

chokes up channels in small lakes. If

the land gets fairly dry it is possible .

that the commOn pond lily will give

you the best resultséJ. F. C.

\ Teaching a Colt to Back.


Many experience diﬂiculty in train-

ing a colt to back. There- should be

no difﬁculty in .this if proper methods

are followed. The following method

is a good one: “After the colt fully

understands the legitimate use of the

halter in leading is a good time to

teach it to back—an important and

necessary duty in its after life of use-

fulness—which is easily accomplished


by complying with the natural law‘


again, by pressing-the extended ﬁnger

of -.one hand'between the point of the

shoulder and the breast bone and us-

ing the other hand at the halter stray

simply to keep the colt straight in line,

to back in any desired direction. Do

not try_to force the colt backward by

‘yanking’ at the halter or hit, but sim-

plypress in his sensitive chest cavity

with the ﬁngers, and the colt will nat-

urallygo backward, provided there is

nothing of any obstruction behind'it.

When this pressure has been made at

the front and the colt moved backward

(if it is only one step) you should be

satisﬁed and try it again. About the

third time this pressure has been made

,is a-good time to associate the 'word

‘back’ with the pressure, and you will

be surprised to .see how soon the colt

will comprehend what is wanted, and


how’ willingly the young thing com»


plies with your every‘wish as soon as

it -understands what is wanted.

Starting a Balky, Horse.


A remedy which will start a balky

horse almost every time is as follows:

When a horse balkse-no matter how


\


*badlyhe balks or’how’ ugly he is—do


not beat him; don’t throw sand in his

ears; don’t use“ aarope on his forelegs

{or-even burn straw under him. Quietly

sit still, take his lines, hold them


quietly, while you lift up either front

foot; give eaCh nail a light tap and a

good smart tap on the frog; drop the

foot quickly and then tell him to go.

In most cases he will go right on about

his business, but the driver must keep

his lines taut and not pull or jerk him

back. This may make some horsemen

smile, but a horse has more common

sense than most people are willing to

give him credit for. The secret of this

little trick is simply diversion. With

kindness and proper treatment a horse

can almost always be made to go.


. Another method is as follows: Take

a small rope and ﬁrmly attach it to the

horse’s tail. Take a turn on the dou-

bletree or cross-bar, giving slack

enough to tighten the traces. If the

horse refuses to. pull, tighten this rope

until the draft comes on the, tail. No

horse ever refuses to pull by his tail.

When the horse starts, the tail-hold

may be relaxed until the draft comes


on the traces again. Many balking

horses will refuse to start, and others

will start oﬁ all right, but if stopped

will refuse to pull. The way to treat

this form of vice isto pull on the tail

rope until the draft comes partially on

the tail. Then he will go. The tail

Kicking in the Stall.


For the habit of kicking in the sta-

‘ble, it is a good plan to fasten a‘chain

or strong rope across from post to post

behind the animal, about three feet

from the ﬂoor. A horse almost invar-

iably backs up as far as his halter

rope will allow before commencing to

kick, and if he cannot get back he is

very likely to stand up in his place

and behave himself. Another plan is

to fasten a chain about a foot long to

one hind pastern by means of a strap.


Halter Pulling.

A very good plan to break a horse


of halter pulling .is to pass the halter '


rope through the manger ring and

bring it back between the fore legs,

attaching it to a rope tied around the

body. Another plan is to pass a dou-

ble rope back through rings on a sur-

eingle, and fasten them to a crupper.

When either of the above methods is

adopted the animal should be urged to

pull back which he is not likely to do

more than once.


A very good diet to build up a horse

is oats, barley, bran and ﬂax. The bulk

of the food should consist of oats and

bran. It is well to have the oats chop-

ped and mixed with one-quarter their

bulk of bran. A horse may receive

from four to ﬁve quarts of this for the

morning and noon meals. In the ‘even—

ing the feed may consist of about three

quarts of boiled barley, one quart of

boiled ﬂax and a quart of’bran season-

HE sleet storm‘ of February 22,

1922, which swept across the


middle of the state of Michigan,“


did enormous damage to forests, shade

trees and orchards. There is no record

of an ice storm doing anything like the

damage this one has done.


With the woods in the shape they

now are the owner may well be dis-

couraged with the prospects, knowing

the utter impossibility of repairing the

damage to their trees by the same

methods as can be used with shade

trees. The owner should not lose cour-

age and neglect his woods, since much

can be done to minimize the damage

and salvage the destroyed trees.


The measure to adopt is to make

what the forester calls‘ a. damage or

saIVage cutting. It consists of removing

all trees so badly damaged that they

cannot recover so as to permit less

damaged trees to take their places,

and to utilize the wood of the injured

trees before it starts to decay. Such

a cutting will remove at once all trees

broken below the crewn. Such trees,

cannot possibly recover. It should like-

wise remove trees so bent over that

there is no possibility of their straight-

ening up, as well as all trees broken in

any fashion so badly that even though

they recover they will not make

timber. ‘


Such a cutting should be made at

once so as to get the injured trees out

of the way and permit healthy ones

to develop in their place. At the same

time as many of the broken branches

and tops of the ground should be work-


Sd'yar Mafia


ed up into cordwood as possible, both

to conserve it and to reduce the ﬁre

risk which will be great when the vast

amount of debris dries out.


It is probable that many of the in-


jured trees will recover temporarily

but will, after a year or two, begin to

die out. They should be removed as

fast as they die to salvage them, but

it would be unwise to assume that all

will die and to sell now when, prices

are at a. low ebb.


In the case of maple sugar orchards

it is hoped that owners will not tap

them this season as the trees are cer-

tain to bleed badly as a result of their

injuries and the added strain put upon

them by tapping may weaken them too

much to permit recovery. Owners who

feel that they-must secure a revenue

from their orchards could secure a sup-

ply of syrup by tapping the trees

which have' had their tops broken out

and are sure to die. The sap will run

in these this season just as if they

still had their tops.


From eighty to ninety per cent of‘


the shade trees in the Cities and towns

can be salvaged if prompt and proper

treatment is given them. If they are

not -‘ properly treated many of them

will die, or if they remain alive will


be sickly and misshapened.

It is recommended that cities and

towns hire an expert to take charge of

the work of repairing their trees. The

employing of incompetent tree trim-

mers who do not understand the work


‘ Elm

of reforming the crowns of the trees

and protecting them against decay‘will

do more harm than good.


The following rules for repairing in-

jured shade trees are recommened:


1. Prune injured branches back to

the nearest sound branch.


2. Don’t leave broken stubs stick-

ing out.


3. Make clean saw cuts.

trees with an axe.


4. Cut broken branches off some

distance from crotch and then trim off

stub at crotch as closely as possible.

This will prevent falling branch from

splitting off bark and permit soar to

heal over.


5. Trim tree to a symmetrical form.


6. If top is broken out, out back to

nearest good~sized side branch, mak-

ing slanting cut so that water will not

soak into wood through Wound.


7. Protect scars from decay by cov-

ering them With asphalt or lead paint,

as soon as sap stops running. The

paint, if placed on the cut when the

sap is running, will not stick—spar

varnish or shellac would do more than

paint to hold in the sap.


8. Where branches are wrenched

out by the socket or strips of wood

split off below the branches, the rough

surface should be smoothed off with a

chisel and treated in the same fashion

as a branch cut.


9. Split crotches may sometimes be

repaire by drawing them together with

bolts. They should not be held to-

gether with wires drawn about them

as this will result in girdling.


For the communities in the storm

zone to neglect. their trees at this time

would be disastrous, since in most of

them the trees were just coming to

maturity. If neglected now the towns

will for the next quarter of a. century '


be practically devoid of beautiful trees.

cessity for the use (If lime is so general

that some sortof a systematic scheme

for applying it is almost necessary. I

recently found a farmer who had ap-

parently given . this matter

thought and had succeeded in working


out a way of handling the job eﬂi- ‘


ciently.


—’ First he believes in going at the


work systematically. Instead of lim-

ing a spot here and another one there,


he takes one ﬁeld a year and gives its.


complete application. If the lime is

hauled and put .on during the busy sea-

son it consumes so much valuable time


. that it is’ very often neglected. Even

distributing lime that has been stored.


in the barn on a distant ﬁeld is costly

at this busy’time. This farmer gets

around this by having a portable lime‘

shelter which consists simply of a

house on runners which he can haul

from ﬁeld to ﬁeld. This house is plac-

ed in the‘ﬁeld that is to be limed the

next season and during the winter or

at some other slack time it is ﬁlled

with a carload of lime. When the time

for liming comes the lime is‘in good

condition for} spreading and the time

required for distributing

shortened.


This house may be built with a hing-

ed roof to facilitate ﬁlling and unﬁll-

ing. As a guide to determine the size

of house to build, a ton of ﬁnely

ground limestone occupies twenty cu-

bic feet of space—O. E. ROBEY.

WHEAT ACREAGE INCREASES IN


HURON COUNTY.


LTHOUGH the wheat acreage in


Michigan is only slightly above

the ten-year average, there is a twen-

ty-ﬁve per cent increase in planting in

the north half of Huron county, says

H. D. Horton, of Kind'e. While wheat

has been uncovered nearly all ‘winter

there has been very little alternate

freezing and thawing and it is in good

condition. The critical time is at hand,

however, as two or three weeks of


' changeable weather with three or four


days of cold winds late in the spring,

would do great damage.


Mr. Horton says there will be a big

increase in acreage of beans, even

though sugar beets are planted this

spring in usual acreage. Many who

did not plant beans last year are pre-

paring to grow them this season. Po-

tato prices are not likely to go any

higher, though the supply in farmers’

handsvin Huron county is pretty well

cleaned up.

' CERTIFIED sass BUSINESS

snows. .


‘ ICHIGAN farmers in two years

have icreased their consumption

of certiﬁed alfalfa seed to the point

where today the daily certiﬁed alfalfa

seed shipments of the Michigan State

Farm Bureau amount to as much as

the annual consumption of such seed

two years ago, says J. W. Nicolson,

manager of the bureau’s seed depart-

ment.


Two years ago, saier. Nicolson,

Michigan made her ﬁrst venture in

certiﬁed alfalfa seed when the Michi-

gan rop Improvement AssoCiation in-

troduced eight thousand pounds of

North Dakota certiﬁed Grimm alfalfa


. into the state. Today Idaho, Montana,


North Dakota and other northwestern

states' certiﬁed, hardy alfalfa seed is

displacing common alfalfa by the car-

lots in Michigan and is making possi-

ble big acreages of highest grade al-

falfa in counties where scarcely any

alfalfa was grown two years ago. The

state has always been an importer of

alfalfa seed because Michigan climatic

conditions haVe not been favorable to

alfalfa seed production.


The main difﬁculty with importing

seed, the farm bureau holds, is the

fact that in most instances it is hard

to make sure that outside seed is adap-

ted, true to name, pure and virile.

Certiﬁcation of seed makes this assur-

ance possibly by placing upon the seed

producers the task of high’standards

of purity, freeness from disease and

insect injury and making positive the

origin of the seed, all under a. rigid

system of inspection.


During thewpast two weeks farmers’

cooperative associations have been

buying western-grown certiﬁed Grimm

alfalfa seed at the average rate of

3,700 pounds daily; said Mr. Nicolson.

This spring the farm bureau is moving

an equal volume of common alfalfa of

known northern origin and adaption

to Michigan farmers, he added.


‘PRESENT ADMINI'ST’RATION PRO-

FARMER.


ASTER LOWELL, of the National


Grange, referred to the present

administration as pro-farmer, having

effected results that are proving bene-

ﬁcial to food producers. He believed

the agricultural conference called by

President Harding had opened the way

for improvements in the economic sit-

uation, as a result of which action on

the bill was hastened, giving farmers’

cooperative marketing associations ex-

emption from the provisions of the

anti-trust law, enabling these organi-

zations to do business on a safe basis.

As their'growth continues the unnec-

essary jobber will be more and more

excluded from agricultural dealings,

and his proﬁts will be Split between

the farmer and the consumer. It was

Mr. Lowell’s opinion that Secretary

Wallace is efﬁciently ﬁlling his posi-

tion, and that the department of agri-

culture is doing everything within its

power to help the farmers.


'The stabilization plan of the Farm-

ers’_National Stabilization Committee,

according to Eresident Charles S. Bar-

rett, of the National Farmers’ Union,

who is promoting this plan, provides

for exactly what was done and what

is now done in a manner adapted to

peace needs in Australia. Under, it the

American wheat producer, cotton,

corn and wool producer would not be

LENAWEE POMONA PASSES RESO-

LUTIONS.


HE following resolutions were re-


cently passed by unanimous vote

of Lenawee County Pomona Grange in

,session at Fruit Ridge:


Whereas, Rumor is current that a.

strike of coal mine workers- and rail-

road employes is to be called for some

time in April or early spring, thereby

practically tying up every industry,

and especially paralyzing agriculture,

which industry is already hedged


about by almost unsurmountable diiﬁ- '


culties.


A railroad strike, now, means farm-

ers’ products remaining unsold and

spoiling‘ in 1 his barns. And that may

mean famine, suffering and perhaps

death in the cities. It means farm sup-

plies piled up in railroad yards while

ﬁelds wait for seeds, fertilizer and ma-

chinery necessary to make them pro-

ductive.


A strike in April at planting time

wrecks a year’s crop production plans.


A coal strike comes less directly

home to our people than to the people

living in the cities, but an obligation

to help makes it clear that the interest

of all, and not of a. class or group is

paramount in this republic. It is none

the less pressing because our interest

in this is secondary and ﬁnancial, in-

stead of primary and vital.


If coal production stops people will

suffer, and the spectacle of a compar-

atively small group of men and inter-

ests seizing the weapon of human mis-

ery and human suffering in order to

impose their will, and their refusal to

deal fairly with one another, and make

others pay the penalty, is preposterous

in this nation and time.


No individual or body of men is jus-

tiﬁed in creating a condition that will

stop the progress of our recovery from

the terrible scourge of war, which we

have just passed through.


We are doing our part and it is not

unfair for usto demand that both capi-

tal and labor do theirs. Whatever dif-

ferences may exist between them

must be adjusted without stopping the

wheels of commerce.


Therefore be it Resolved, that we

implore the organizations of labor and

of capital, and the proper ofﬁcials of

our government, to use every means at

their command to reach an amicable

adjustment of the questions involved

and we urge all loyal citizens every-


where to give this all important ques- .


tion serious consideration and do all

in their power to create a powerful

public sentiment demanding the settle-

ment of differences between employer

and employe by arbitration and gov-

ernmental regulation rather than by

employing the unjust, uneconomical

and destructive methods of the strike.


Whereas, the state administrative

board by authorizing the issue and

sale ‘of $10,000,000 of highway bonds

without due hearing in the face of the

expressed ,and well known opposition

of the State Grange, the' State Farm

Bureau and other kindred farm organ-

izations, which collectively represent a

considerable part of the taxpayers and

people of the state, has thereby deﬁ-

antly ﬁounted and ignored the consti-

tutional right of the people to be

heard by petition and by such act has

set itself up as a power absolute over

and above the people.


Therefore Resolved, that by such ac-

tion the state administrative board

should be and is hereby censured and

its action is hereby condemned as be-

ing autocratic and monarchial in ten-

dency, and opposed to the spirit and

intent of American ideals in govern-

—ment. ’ '


,Resolved, that we are opposed to

such concentration of authority and

power as can make possible and per-

mit overt acts by ofﬁcials regarding

questions of public policy and proced-

ure, in deﬁance of the right of hearing

by‘ petition. '


Resolved, that we commend the acts

of Auditor-General Fuller and Superin-

tendent of Public Instruction Johnson

for refusing-to join their associates on

the board. in authorizing-the issueand

sale of the 310000.000 ,in, highway

bonds Without hearing, when it was

known that a strong faith? ' ’

'HE Menominee River ‘Sugar Com-

pany is offering contracts for sug-

ar beets at six dollars per ton, this


' year, says the Herald- Leader of Me-

'nominee.—— It wants to purchase 75, 000


tons of beets this season. This is the

only factory in the upper peninsula,

but only one-ninth of its consumption

of beets is Menominee county—grown.


Most of the product is grown in north— ,


ern Wisconsin.


CONSUMERS WANT A CLEAN AND

WHOLESOME SUPPLY OF MILK.


ROTESTING against the recent


drop in the price of milk sold by

farmers in Marquette, Mr. L. R. Walk-

er, county agricultural agent,~calls at-

tention to the need of a good and

abundant milk supply for the city, and

that the depression in the price is dis-

couraging farmers who have engaged

in the dairy business.


The cut did not come as a result of

a demand upon the part of consumers

but because of the competition of the

Small,»irregular producers with whom

milk-selling is an avocation. Mr. Walk-


Unusually Good Prices Are Being Paid

at Pure-bred Auction Sales by Mich-

igan Breeders and Farmers for Bred

Sows this Spring.


er quotes ﬁgures to show that, at ﬁve

cents a quart, the dairy farmer, at‘the

present cost of production, is likely to


' pocket a loss at the end of the month,


or at best, make only a small proﬁt,

and he cannot continue at the business

under such conditions. -

Marquette has at present an excel-

lent milk supply, with inspection of

dairies and their product through the

city’s department of health. There are


seventy-two licensed distributors of


milk in the city. The main interest of

the consumers, as Mr. IWalker points

out, is in not getting his milk for a


' cent less per quart but in having an


abundant supply of pure,wholesome

milk. He is undoubtedly right in this

opinion. '


ALFALFA GIVESMEXCELLENT

CROP.


SEE in a recent issue that Mr. _


Pezet, of St. Clair county, hulled a.

ﬁne lot of alfalfa seed from his farm.

I feel that I have cause to do a little

boasting along this line. I have eleven

and one-half acres from which I took

off twenty-seven loads of hay from the

ﬁrst cutting. I left the second crop‘

for seed. There were thirteen and. a


half loads of straw which when hulled‘


yielded me nineteen bushels of ﬁne

seed.


I also cut from anotheI small lot of

one and one-fourth acres (ﬁve loadsin

three cuttings .the ﬁrst year. Last

spring I seeded down ﬁve acres and

secured a ﬁne catch. By fall it was

up to my knees and all blossomed out.

Had it not been so wet, and had I not

had the labor of getting up the seed

mentioned above, I should have cut

this new seeding and L feel sure that

I would have secured a good load to

the acre from it.

The correct proportioning and

curing of the different raw ma—

terials which carry. ammonia and

other plant foods is of more im-

portance than the average user

realizes.


For the last ﬁfteen years we have

been carrying on experiments to

help us in developing Fertilizers

for the different crops and soils.


In making up Darling’s brands

containing ammonia, we use animal

tankage as a base. Although

animal tankage costs more, we use

it because years of actual ﬁeld

tests show that Animal Base Fer-

tilizers give better results during

the entire growth of the plant and

show larger yields than chemical

fertilizers.


The manufacture of Acid Phosphate

has received a lot of study, with the result

that we have installed very expensive

machinery. The Acid Phosphate made

with this equipment has a higher avail-

ability, is much drier and runs lower in

free Sulphuric Acid. This system was

worked out successfully in the large F ert1.

lizer consuming state of North Carolina,

and our plant is the ﬁrst and only plant

of this kind 1n the Middle West.

HE ideal system of tile-drainage


is one that combines economy in


construction, and efﬁciency in

such a way that the beneﬁts derived

from it represent a maximum return

on the money invested in it. In draw-

ing up a plan for such a system, all of

the many factors that inﬂuence it,

must be given due consideration.


No part of the investment in a tile-

dralnage system will yield bigger re-

turns than the time and money invest-

ed in a careful study of these factors.

No two farms present the same drain-

age problem in every detail. What

may be an economical, emclent plan of

drainage for Smith’s farm, may be an

extravagant, inefficient ‘ plan for

Brown’s farm which adjoins it. Guess-

work has no place in the planning of

a tile-drainage system. Unless a. farm-

er is qualiﬁed through tralning and

experience to do this work, he should

by all means engage the services of

a competent drainage engineer.


The importance of designing a plan


' of drainage that will serve the drain-


age requirements of the entire farm,

can hardly be overestimated from the

viewpoint of economy. No wideawake

manufacturer who contemplates the

building of a factory, will tell his con-

tractor to 'build its foundation before

he has determined the maximum num-

ber of stories it will ever be called

upon to support. Similarly, not a foot

of main-drain should be installed in

any farm unless the maximum load it

will ever be called upon to carry, has


been determined by a careful study of


. the farm’s drainage requirements.


ilPiecemeal construction of a drainage


isystem, without following a deﬁnite


; plan, is a wasteful practice.


‘ The ﬁrst factor to be considered in

the design of a system of underdrain-

age is the outlet. The economy of se-

curing a permanent outlet that will be

large and deep enough to answer the

1equirements of depth and g1ade of all


i the d1a1ns it serves, is quite appalent.


. Where available, two outlets can some-

times be economically used. Fiequent-


‘ 1y a considerable amount of main drain

can be dispensed with by running the

lateral drains directly into an open

ditch. This practice is not recom-

mended, however, unless the cost of a


.main drain is excessive. If them is


‘no outlet near the farm, it may be


{possible to secure one by crossing a


,neighbor’s farm. In this case, the two


gneighbors should cooperate and plan a


imam-drain of such size and so located


1 that the drainage requirements of both

farms will be met. Should none but

a poor outlet of insufﬁcient depth and

size be available, the planning of a

drainage system should be postponed

until an adequate outlet can be ob-

tained.


The nature of the soil and subsoil

is an inﬂuential factor in the design

of an adequate system .of drainage, and

should be carefully studied. This fac-

tor determines the depth and fre-

quency of drains, and the minimum

grade to which'they can be safely laid.

Should the subsoil be so compact that

water cannot pass through it, a study

of it will reveal that fact, and prevent

the waste of time and money involved

in trying to drain it.


Another factor to be considered in

this connection is the kind of crops to

be grown on the farm: Truck crops

will, because of their greater value,

warrant a closer spacing of laterals

and a. greater resultant investment

than hay and grain crops. It is quite

conceivable that, an‘ investment in

drainage of‘$_75 per acre on land de


,voted' to the former may yield bigger


returns than one of $40 per acre on

land devoted to the.latter.

7 The direction of the surface and un-


derground water now, and the slope 6.11


’ Ole U Sure You are Right


And- T In»: Proceed wit/z t/ze Tile Drain


the ground are the factors that de-.


termine the location of the drains.

Lateral drains must be laid, whenever

possible, across the line of surface and

underground water-ﬂow, in order to

prevent seepage between them and to

a large extent, surface washing of the

soil. A few long laterals provide more

economical drainage than many short

ones, because of a reduction in the

amount of double drainage in the area

adjacent to the main.


The efﬁciency of a farm drainage

system is frequently impaired because

tile of inadequate size are used in the

main. This is false economy,'.because

the loss of crops due to an excess of

surface water may, in one season, more

than equal the saving thus affected.


The economical success or failure of

any system of tile-drainage will de-

pend largely upon the degree in which

the factors considered above have in-

ﬂuenced its design—W. VAN HAITSMA.


A HELP To AUTOISTS.


HILE riding one day with a

neighbor in his car‘We were un:

fortunate enough to run into a,mud

hole. The rear wheels, even with the

chains on,,absolutely refused to take


hold, either going ahead or back. It‘


seemed to me at ﬁrst that we were in

to stay;

was prepared for just such emergency.

He produced from the tool box two

pieces of trunk rope about ten feet


long, two wooden stakes about eight-

een inches long and a three-pound

sledge. I wondered just What was

“coming off,” but I soon learned. He

drove a stake behind each rear wheel

where the ground was solid. A rope

was then tied to each stake, close to

the ground, run under the hub and

tied to a spoke, as the cut shows. My

friend started his engine, threw it into

reverse and the car easily backed it-

self out of the mud hole.


It is worth any autoist’s while, espe.

cially when traveling on country roads,

to add these inexpensiye articles to his

equipment—V. A. GALLIHER.


POOR ROAD WORK.


A state road was let, bid in, and

sold. It was accepted and the con-

tractor received over a thousand dol-

lars over his bid. In one year a half

is all cut up, needing a recoating of

gravel. Last year another mile was

sold to the same contractor.

all accepted, but the gravel thereon is

more sand than anything else. The

culverts are defective. The contractor

has overdrawn his bid several hundred

dollars. Must we taxpayers stand for

such work? ‘What steps must we take

to stop lt?———R. W. G


A11 injunction might be obtained to

prevent the acceptance of the contract

by proving fraud or collusion between

the contragtor and the highway com-

missioner, or a better highway com-

missioner might be elected—J. R. R.


Ronald Morgan has thought. up a

new form of Christianity. He has a.

car that is bound in Morocco and rides

like a canoe. He and Mrs. Morgan

take old ladies riding whose husbands

died before autos were invented. The

GOOD-NATURED Irish neighbor


boy dropped in a few days ago .

_ . and says, “Megand Pa went to

town Saturday and got me a hundred

marbles”, “Spring is coming,” says I.

“when the boys gather out on the sun-

ny side of the house and begin to shoot

marbles.” It is 'a. sure sign. The. sun

warms one deliciously, but the winds

are still raw. Soon they will moder-

ate, all nature will take up the spirit

of- the boys, and almost before we re-

alize; it we will discover that the trees

alsolbegin to shoot, the ﬂowers have

' their pistils, and

the bull rush is

'out. Sounds dan-

gerous. doesn’t it?

Fear not, howev-

er, they are all

perfectly harm-

less, only cele-

brating the fact

that s p r i n g is


here and rejoic-

‘ing in it like the

rest of us.


For the piping of‘ the robin, there is

a sort of involuntary expectancy ev-

erywhere. Reports are beginning to

‘come in announcing his arrival, and

we ‘ﬁnd- ourselves constantly on the

alert for his} cheery call. How eagerly

do we welcome those round, joyful

notes with their friendly admonition

to Cheer Up! Cheer Up! Coming as

he does, one of the earliest birds of

spring when the chill of winter is still

in the air, methinks there is no’more

ﬁtting songster the whole year through.

All the world knows we need his sim-


‘ple advice~ this spring, and he is wel-


‘deep, but I wanted to know, and Pres-


, chill from the north, but the sun shone


fresh and green. I stood up straight,

took a, long deep breath, and felt bet-

ter. We, up in the territory of thebig

ice storm, have been entertaining

grave doubts and fears, for the wel-

fare of the winter plants, the wheat,

the rye, the clover, the alfalfa. I went

out over the wheat ﬁeld. Made tracks

in the mud, big ones, three inches


to! It was alive! Dead as it looked

on the surface, the heart and the

roots were sound. It needs only a

chance for an early growth and there

will be bread for next year and mon-

ey to pay the bills. I stood up straight,

took another long deep breath and felt

better If‘you liad been near enough

and could have understood English

you would have heard a remark quite

like that of the victorious English gen-

eral after the battle of Quebec, “The

Lord be praised, I die happy.”


Down at the near end- of the next

ﬁeld stands the remnant of last year’s

stack of bean pods. The wind blew


down invitingly on the dry straw of

the south side. I accepted the invita-

tion, and if that isn’t another sure

sign of spring, then I’m no prophet.

How delightfully comfortable the warm

rays of the sun in the early spring.

Especially 'with a strawstack at One’s

back, and nothing to disturb his con-

science. I “wallowed’i there for half

an hour, not caring to think much, not

caring to do much, not caring to move,

but just satisﬁed to exist in comfort.

have all been there. At length I arose,

I awakened the other morning with

a dull headache and a general all-round

Eeeling similar to that of an apple

well advanced in the stage of decay.

Breakfast didn’t taste good, work

didn’t appeal, so I picked up an axe

and started to chop wood. I trimmed

up a few limbs that the ice storm


' had broken from the apple trees, and


then remembered that that axe hadn’t

been ground all winter, but had been

‘used for splitting wood, and our wood

So I shoul-

but, like the Irishman, there were two

[things about farming that 'I didn’t take

to that morning, “one was turning the

grindstone and the other was work.”

I‘deserted‘ both the aim and grindstone

and wandered down across the mead-

ow, that self-same meadow that we

have been waiting for winter to decide

whether it should stand another year

or not. It is too early to tell deﬁnitely

what the prospects will be, but it looks

farther, past the end of the cornﬁeld,

and on over the saturated pasture

sods, I came to the little woodlot that

once was tall timber, regretting as I

always do, that more of that tall tim-

ber does not still stand. I “spotted” a.

few young trees for transplanting to

the home grounds when the frost goes

out. Over on the south side at the

roots of a favorite maple I came across

another very inviting patch of sun-

shine, and in it, reveled for a spell,

browsing mentally all over the farm,

by a sound overhead, I listened. A

bluebird’s note, tender, gentle, quietly

telling of the coming of spring. Not

with the robin’s assurance but full of

hope and desire. And tuned exactly

.with and heart strings‘on that particu-

lar morning, I drank it all in. Then I

straightened up, stretched, took a deep

breath and felt better. And now a

heartless killdeer (the ﬁrst of the

year) keeps calling to me as I write,

INCOME FROM HONEY.


S illustrative of the possibility of


honey production in the north

country, my attention has been called

to the experience of the manager of a

cooperative store in this section, who

operates an apiary as a side—issue.

Last year he began with thirteen

swarms and closed with twenty-one,

and his returns from sales of honey

were $435, it‘is reported.


FARMERS FORM LOAN ASSOCIA-

TION.


' HIRTY farmers of townships adja-

cent to Negaunee, Marquette coun-

ty, have made application for the for-

mation of a farm lean association. un-

der the Federal Farm Loan Act, and

they seek loans of $29,600. There is

another association at Republic, of

thirty-four members and loans of some

$41,500, and one at Skandia with about

forty members and loans between $60,-

000 and $70,000, reports County Agri-

4 cultural Agent L. R. Walker.


NEW COUNTY AGENT IN IRON

COUNTY.


HE Iron County Agricultural Com-


mission has engaged Mr. Earl

Roberts, ol' \Visconsin, as county ag-

ricultural agent. The commission


states that Mr. Roberts has had scien-

tiﬁc training at the University of \Vis-

consin and much actual farming expe-

rience in Waukesha county. The

March News Letter of the commission

raises the question of a cow-testing

association, which it advocates as the

best method of determining good and

poor cows.


FAIR ASSOCIATION PLANS EDUCA-

ARLY in March there was organiz-


ed at Iron Mountain the “fest

Cloverland Fair Circuit, by represent-

atives of the agricultural societies of

Baraga, Dickinson, Gogebic, Hough-

ton, Iron and Menominee counties. The

president of the association is Dr. A.

Saunders, of Stephenson; secretary,

John E. Mason, the' commissioner of

schools, Crystal Falls. The dates for

the several fairs of this circuit are as

follows: Dickinson, August 13 to Sep-

tember 1-2-3-4; Menominee county at

Stephenson, September 5-6-7; Iron

county at Iron River, September 20-21-

22; Houghton county at Houghton,

September 26-27-28—29-30; Gogebic

county at Ironwood, September 13-14-

15. An educational feature for all the

fairs, opening at Norway and closing

at Houghton, will be provided by the

association. The Michigan Agricultur-

al College Experiment Station at Chat-

ham will provide an exhibit of cattle,

sheep and hogs. The farm of the

State Hospital at Newberry will fur-

nish a carload of pure-bred Holsteins.

There will be an exhibit of crops adap-

ted to the soil and climate of the ter-

ritory covered by the association and

there will be an appropriate premium

list.

ﬁnned price of $16.75. Orders will be

Linilected by the county agricultural

“9111:, Irving Irishman, and will be for-

warded when a carload is comprised

in the total orders received. .


_. The Houghton County Board of Su-


pervisors has made an appropriation

to cover five land-clearing schools in

that county, to be given under the aus-

pices ofthe Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege, each to cost $175. The agricul-

tural committee of the board, it is an-

nounced, will ﬁx the dates for the

schools upon consultation with, L. M.

Geismar, county agent, and Mr. L. F.

Livingston, in charge of the schools.


CLOVERLAND’S ROAD BUILDING


NDER the revised plans of the

' state highway department, the

1922 highway construction program for

the several counties of the upper. pe-

ninsula, calls for the following mile-

ages in each county: Alger, 1 miles;

Baraga, 15; Chippewa, 31; Delta, 8;

Dickinson, 13; Gogebic, 12; Houghton,


20; Iron,.16; Keweenaw, 9; Mackinac,’


36; Marquette, 15; Ontonagon, 1.5;

Schoolcraft, 27. This totals 214.5. Last

year, notes the Daily Mining Gazette,

of Houghton, Houghton county spent:

on its roads over $569,000 from all

sources, including the proceeds of a

bond issue of $200,000.

“Father! What has happened? Why


are you here? Oh, Father, Cousin

Wallace!”

“He is dead,” Santoine said.


“They


shot him!” *

“Father; how was it? You—”

“There are none of them in the


room?” he asked her in reply.


“None of them?”


,Her failure to understand answered

him. If any of the men who fought

there had not got away, she would

have understood. “They were not all

together,” \he said. “There were three,

at least. One was not with the oth-

ers. They ﬁred at each other, I be-

lieve, after one shot him.” Santoine’s

hand was still in Blatchford’s. “I

heard them below.” He told shortly

how he had gone down, how Blatch-

ford had entered and been shot.


The blind man, still kneeling, heard

the ordering and organizing of others

for the pursuit; now women servants

from the other part ofthe house were

taking charge of affairs in the room.

He heard Avery questioning them;

none of the servants had had part in

the ﬁght in the room; there had been

heard, Santoine was told,

upon any of the bells which he had

tried to ring from his room. Eaton

was the only person from the house

who was missing. Harriet had gone

for a moment; the blind man called

her back and demanded that she stay

beside him; he had not yet moved from

Blatchford’s body. His daughter re-

turned; her hand on his shoulder was

trembling and cold—~he could feel it

cold through the linen of his pajama

jacket.


“Father, you must go back to bed!”

she commanded uselessly. He would

not stir. A servant, at her call, brought

a robe which she put over him, and

she drew slippers on his feet.


“They came, at least some of them

came,”-—Santoine had risen, ﬁghting

down his grief over his cousin’s death;

he stool holding the robe about him—

“for what was in your safe, Harriet.”


“I know; I saw it open.”


“What is gone?” Santoine demanded.


He heard her picking up the con-

tents of the safe frOm the ﬂoor and

carrying them to the table and exam—

ining them; he was conscious that,

having done this, she stood staring

about the room as though to 'see wheth-

er anything had escaped her search.


“What is gone?” 'Santoine repeated.


“Why—nearly all the formal papers

seem to be gone; lists and agreements

relating to a dozen different things.”


“None of the correspondence?”


“No; that all seems to be here.”


Santoine was breathing quickly; the

trust for which he had been ready to

die—for which Blatchford had died——

seemed safe; but recognition of this

plexity as to What the meaning had

been’ of the struggle which an instant

before had been going on around him.

t “We don’t know whether he got it,

then, or not ” It was Avery’s voice

which broke in upon him; Santoine

merely listened.


“He?' Who?” He heard his daugh-

ter’s challenge.

“Why, Eaton. It is plain enough

Adown the quiet street I walked,

When a Robin hopped in view.


He looked askance, and shied at me—

Then over the fence he ﬂew.


Behind a leafy bush he peeped,

And chirped a sweet “Halloo:”'

My eyes in greeting answered back,

And I laughed aloud for two.


Sir Robin Redbreast peeped again,


~ Then chirped a tiny lay.


The spring had made him bolder——

His friendship made me gay.


Now, springs may come and springs

But when you walk, you’ll ﬁnd new joy

As it runs adown the slope.

From fruit and ﬂowers and folks.

answered. “He came here to this room

for what he was after—for what he

has been after “from the ﬁrst—what-

ever that may have been! He came

prepared to force the safe and get-it!

But he was surprised—”


“By whom?” the blind man asked.


“By whomever it is that has been

following him. I don’t attempt to ex-

plain who they were, Mr. Santoine;

for I don’t know. But—whoever they

were—in doing this, he laid himself

open to attack by them. They were

watching—saw him enter here. They

attacked him here. Wallace switched

on the light and recognized him; so

he shot Wallace and ran away with

tents of the safe, hoping that by luck

he’d get what he was after,”

‘lY'es.”


“There is also blood there——a big

spot of it on the boor.”


“I found that,” said Santoine.


“There is blood behind the table

near the middle of the room.”


“Ah! A man ﬁred from there, too!”


“There are cartridges on the ﬂoof———”


“Cartridges?”


“Cartridge shells, I mean, empty,

near both those spots of blood. There

are cartridge shells near the ﬁreplace;

but no blood there.”


“Yes; the bullets?”


“There are marks everywhere——


above the mantel, all about.”

“Chairs— ‘


“There is. a. bar of iron with a bent

end near the table—between it and the

window; there are twc ﬂashlights;

both extinguished. ”


“How was the safe opened?” .


“The combination has been cut com-

pletely away; there is an—an instru-

ment connected with the electric-light

ﬁxture which seems 'to have done the

cutting. There is a hand-drill, too—-I

think it is a hand-drill. The inner

door has been drilled through, and

the-..catches drawn back.”


“Who is this?” . . _


The valet, who had been sent to

Eato'n’s room, had returned with his

report. “Mr. Eaton went from his

room fully dressed, sir,” he said to

Santoine, “except for his shoes. I found

all his shoes in his room.”


During the report, the blind man

felt his daughter’s grasp on his arm

become tense and relax and tighten

again. Then, as though she realized

she was adding to this comprehension

of what she had already betrayed, she

suddenly took her hand from her fath«

er’s arm. Santoine turned his face to-

ward his daughter. Another twinge


racked the tumult of his emotions. He ‘


groped and groped again, trying to

catch his daughter’s hand; but she

avoided him. She directed servants

to lift Blatchford’s body and told them

where to bear it. After that, Santoine

resisted no longer. He let the ser-

vants, at his daughter’s direction, help

him to his room. .His daughter went

with him and saw that he was safe in

bed; she stood beside him while the

11m se washed the blood- s-plotches from

his hands and feet. When the nurse


had ﬁnished, he still felt his daughter’s


presence; she drew near him.


“Father?” she questioned.


“Yes.” .


“You don’t agree with Donald, do

you?—that Mr. Eaton went to the

study Q—bo get something, and that

whoever has been following him found

him there and——and interrupted him

and he killed Cousin Wallace?”


\Santoine was silent an instant.

“That seems the correct explanation,

Harriet,” h'e evaded. _ “It does not fully

explain; but it seems correct as far as

it goes. If Donald asks ‘you what my

opinion is, tell him it is that.”


-He felt his daughter shrink away

from him.


The blind man made no move to

draw her back to him; he lay perfect-

1y_still; his head rested ﬂat upon the

pillows; his hands were clasped tightly

together above the coverlet. He had

accused himself, in the room below,

because, by the manner he had chosen

to treat Eaton, he had slain the man

he loved best and had forced a friend-

ship with Eaten on his daughter which,

he saw, had gone further than mere

these questions transcended now every

t personal interest. So, in his uncer-

tainty, Santoine had drawn into him-

self—withdrawn conﬁdence in his

thoughts from all around, from Donald

Avery, even from his daughter~until

1 the answer should be found. His blind


eyes Were turned toward the ceiling,

and his long, well-shaped ﬁngers trem-

But he realized even in his absorption,

, that his daughter had drawn away

1 from him. So, presently, he stirred.


“Harriet,” he said.


It was the nurse who answered him.

“Miss Santoine has gone downstairs.

What is it you want of her, Mr. San-

toine?”


The blind man hesitated, and check-

ed the. impulse he had had. “Nothing,”

he replied.


CHAPTER XIX.

Pursuit.


ARRIET SANTOINE, still clad»

H only in the heavy robe over her

' nightdress and in slippers, went

from her father’s bedroom swiftly

down into the study again; what she

was going to do there she did not deﬁ-

nitely know. She heard, as she de-

scended the stairs, the steward in the

hall outside the study calling up the

police stations of the neighboring vil-

lages and giving news of what had

happened and instructions to watch

the roads; but as she reached the foot

of the stairs, a servant closed the

study doors. The great curtained room

in its terrifying disorder was brightly

lighted, empty, absolutely still. She

had given directions that, except for

the removal of Blatchford’s body, all.

\must bebleft as it was in the room till

the arrival of the police. She stood an

instant with hands pressed against her

breast, staring down at the spots upon

the ﬂoor. .


There were three~of these spots now

——one where Blatchford’s body had

lain. They were soaking brownly into

the rugs but standing still red and

thick upon the polished ﬂoor. Was one

of, them Eaton’s? ' .


Something within her told her that

it was, and the ﬁerce desire to go to

him, to help him, was all she felt just

now. It was Donald Avery’s and her

father’s accusation of Eaton that had


l made her feel like this. - She had been

'feeling, the moment before Donald had

.l spoken, that Philip Eaton had played

‘ ' upon her that evening making her

. take him to his confederate in the ra-

} vine in order to plan and consummate

so ething here. Above her grief and

. horror at the killing of her cousin and

l the danger tb her father, had risen the

I. anguish of her guilt with Eaton, the

agony of her betrayal. But their ac-


cusation that~ Eaton had killed Wal- ,

him—in the light—had swept all that

and then down to the pendulum to see

whether it had stopped; but the pen-

dulum was swinging. The hands stood

' UR information about God, the

Creator and Sustainer of the uni-


If


verse, and the Father .of His hu-~


man children, is. gotten frOm the lips

of Christ. I do not mean to say'that

nothing about God‘can be learned apart

from Christ, for it can. Nature teaches

that a. mighty Mind is back of created

things. Some one has said that no

man can dissect an eyeball and remain

an atheist, so intricate is its structure,

and so. perfectly does "it fulﬁll its pur-

pose. To look through a compound


microscope and see the cells and the.


circulatory system in a plant stem is

lto get a Very high

idea of the Brain

that designed it.

These

known to most

people. It is some-

times called the

argument from

design, and it is

a good argument.


If you found a

watch, and , had

never seen one


before, and you

started the watch to running, it Would

be easy to see what the‘ watch had

been designed for. But above and be-

yond this, there remains a vast, un-

known, unexplored region of ignor-

ance about God, if you leave out the

teachings of Christ.


‘The great things about God, the

facts that ‘are near and precious to the

believer, and to all Christendom, we

learn from the sayings of‘the Nazar-

ene. Only a few can be touched on.

Speaking of nature, Christ did not

leave that out, when he taught us

about God. “Observe the ravens. They

neither sow nor reap, and have neith-

er store-chamber nor barn. And yet

God feeds them.” “But if God so

clothes the vegetation in the ﬁelds,

that blooms today and tomorrow will

be thrown into the oven, how much


' more certainly will He clothe you, you


men of feeble faith!” One can almost

feel that Christ is proud of His Fath-

er’s workmanship. He enjoys the

birds, the lilies (daisies) in the ﬁelds,

the sparrows. Did your small son ever

make something and come and show

it to you?~ A little cart, perhaps, or a

windmill. It was a pretty tough look-

ing piece of carpentry, but he was

proud of it, and so were you. Christ

says that God enjoys his big, fertile,

rolling, whirling world. I suspect that

the chief engineer of the Panama Can-

al is a bit proud when he sees ocean

ships passing through the locks that

he built.


UR Lord further teaches that love


is at the base of all creation. That

would be news, if it were not so old.

And we do not as a. rule believe it.

Fear rules in the religions of pagan-

ism. Love rules in the thought of God.

That teaching is so deep and revolu-

tionary that we have not arrived at it.

The prodigal comes home and is wel-

comed by the old father with a kiss

and a reception. But we are inclined

to sympathize with the disgruntled-

older brother who is vexed and says

it isn’t fair. A sheep is lost. It is only

one, there are ninety-nine more, or a.

million and ninetymine more. One will

not be missed, we think. Besides, it

was only an old ewes anyway that had


lost her lamb. But no, "that is not the

The one sheep is'


missed. It must be gone after at great


facts are .


pains and labor, and 'brbught'back. She .


was a fool to get lost?" No} doubt, but


she must be brought back. Love is at‘


the bottom of God’s work. That is

Christ’s Leaching. . ‘ '


We have been Carried away with the

idea. of law. Law rules everything, we

ranny, merciless as death; too vast to

praise, too ineXOrable to propitiate, it

has no car for prayer, no heart for

Sympathy, no arm tohave," is the ,way

somecne has described law. But law

is as gentle and protective as it is

stern. You plant. radishes and law

says,'you get radishes, not onions. Law

is kind, and can be relied on. ’ It would

be an awful thing, den’t you think, if

law could not be depended on; if, when

you planted radishes you did not know

for the~ life of you, whether radishes

would come up or lettuce, or green

peppers; or, if you sowed wheat,

whether millet would appear, or kafflr

.corn?‘ Law is kind. It is a protector

of life, and behind ’law is love. As a

poet put it, “All’s love, yet all’sdaw.”

qucourse, law oftén acts as though it

were a destroyer. A man is frozen to

death,~ a. child is burned to death, and

we say, “where is your love now? Law

looks to me like a savage.” But we

forget that the law has to be uniform,

or it could not be relied on. The force

that destroyed the, life of the child is

keeping millions of them warm and

happy tonight.‘ The cold that caught

the farmer half way home and froze

out his life is holding vegetation back,

and covering the winter wheat with

snow, so that the crops will be good

next year, and the world will be fed.


W E like to do things for our chil-


dren. “If ye being evil know

how to give good gifts to your chil.

dren, how much more—” You enjoy

hearing your little boy learning to talk.

He pronounces some words so funny

that you don’t correct him, you like to

hear him say it that way. Christ does

not teach this exactly but we can al-

most believe that God enjoys seeing

His children trying to increase in

knowledge, and to make new conquests

in the world. It may be in science, or

exploration or engineering. Man

makes many a false move and does

many funny things before he learns

the secret of what he is after. Sin


occurs when one fails to cooperate\


with God. You knowyour duty, you

do not do it. You,have a kind, an'af-

fectionate Father, you turn away from

him, and go your own way, doing in-

jury to yourself and others, and insult-

ing Him Who has given you life, food,

health, happiness. That "is sin. More-

over you do this in face of ‘the fact

that a Man who was more than man


\came, taught, died, to show men the


way to life. But even here love rules,

too. For there is forgiveness and res-

toration and new life, to all who will

have it. These are but a few of the

many and great things that Christ

teaches about God. More of this per-

haps, some other time.


AGENTLEMAN writes: “Where?

does Christ stand on this city


question? He is unquestionably against '

'this great city, Babylon, that reigns,


and the kings of earth. ~It is the cities

that have played ,the deuce in eco—

nomics, industry and religion. If any

man will read the apocalypse and pay

attention to what it says, he can see

that Christ has no use for city busi-

ness. This thing of all the farm pa-


pers advocating city business methods '


for the farm is not begotten of Christ.” ‘

I do not think that there is anything

in the teaching of Christ that con-

demns the city'as such. Cities do give

a great opportunity for” wrong doing,

because there are many people crowd-

ed together in: a small area. The '

apocalypse speaks of the “holy city,

new Jerusalem," so perfect that ‘there

is no need" of the sun, etc. That is the

city'that is yet to come. Christ did

was the others who had done that.


He released her and wiped the blood

from his eyes with the heel of his

hand. “The poor old man,” he said—

“the poOr old man!”


She drew toward him in the realiza-

tion that he could ﬁnd sympathy for

others even in such a time as this.


“Where’s the key?” he demanded of


.her. He stared over her again but


withoutsurprise even in his eyes, at

her state; if she was there at all at

that time, that was the only way she

could have come.


‘.‘The key?” /


“The key for the battery and mag-

neto—the key you start the car with.”


She ran to a shelf and brought it to

him; he used it and pressed the start-

ing lever. The engine started and he

sprang to the seat. His left arm still

hanging useless at his side; he tried

to throw in the gears with his right

hand; but the mechanism of the car

was strange to him. She leaped up‘

beside him.


“Move over!” she commanded. “It’s

this way!”


He slipped to the side and she took

the driving seat, threw in the gears

expertly, and the car shot from the

garage. She switched on the electric

headlights as they dashed down the

driveway and threw a bright white

glare uponthe roadway a hundred

yards ahead to the gates. Beyond the

gates the public pike ran north and

south.


“Which way?” she demanded of him,

slowing the car.


“Stop!” he cried'to her. “Stop and

get out! You mustn’t. do this!”


“You could not pass alone,” she said.

“Father’s men would close the gates

upon you.” -


“The men? There are no men there

now—they went to the beach—before!

They must have heard something

there! It was their being there that

turned him—the others back. They

tried for the lake and were turned

back and got away in a machine; I fol-

lowed—back up here!”


Harriet Santoine glanced at the face

of the man beside her. She could see

his features only vaguely; she could

see no expression; only the position of

his head. But now she knew that she

was not helping him to run away; he

was no longer hunted——at least he was

not only hunted; he was hunting oth-

As the car rolled down upon

the gates and he strained forward in

the seat beside her, she knew that

what he was feeling was a wild eager-

ness in this pursuit.


“Right or left—quick!” she demand-

ed of him. “I’ll take, one or the

other."


“Right,” he shot out; but already,

remembering the direction of the pur-

suit, she had chosen the road to the

right and raced on. He caught the

driving wheel with his good right

hand and tried to take it from her;

she resisted and warned him:


“I’m going to drive this car; if you

try to take it, it’ll throw us both into

.the ditch.” _


“If we catch up with them, they’ll

shoot; give me the car," he begged.


“We’ll catch up with them-ﬁrst.” ’


“Then you’ll do what I say?"


“Yes,” she made! the bargain. .


“There are their tracks!” he péinted

for her. _

gouged deep into the earth at the road-

side; she noted the pattern of the

tires. '


“How do you know those are their

tracks?” she asked him.


“I told ,you, I followed them to

where they got their machine.”


“Who are they?”


“The men who shot Mr. Blatchford.”


“Who are they?” she put to him di-

rectely again.


He waited, and she knew that he

was not going to answer her directly.

She was running the car now at very

high speed; the tiny electric light

above the speedometer showed they

were running at forty-ﬁve miles an

hour and the strip was still turning to

higher ﬁgures.


Suddenly he caught her arm. The

road had forked, and he pointed to the

left; she swung the car that way,

again seeing as they made the turn,

the tire-tracks they were following.

She was not able now to watch these

tracks; she could watch only the road

and car; but she was aware that the

way they were following had led them

into and out of private grounds. Plain—

ly the men they were following knew

th neighborhood well and had chosen

this road in advance as avoiding the

more public roads which might be

watched. She noted they were turning

always to the left; n‘bw she under—

stood that they were making a great

circle to west and north and returning

toward, but well west of, her father’s

house; thus she knew that those they

were following had made this circuit

to confuse pursuit and that their ob-

jective was the great city to the south.


They were racing now over a little

used road which bisected a forested

section still held as acreage; old, rick-

ety wooden bridges spanned the ra-

vines. One of these appeared in the

radiance of the headlight a hundred

yards ahead; the next instant the car

was dashing upon it. Harriet could feel

the shake and tremble of the loosely

nailed boards as the driving wheels

struck; there was a crash as some

strut, below, gave way; the old bridge

bent but recoiled; the car bounded

across it, the rear wheels skidding in

the moist earth as they swung off the

boards.


Harriet felt Eaton grab her arm.


“You mustn’t do that again!”


“Why?”


“You mustn’t do that again!” he re-

peated the order; it was too obvious

to tell her it was not safe.


She laughed. Less than ﬁve min-

utes before, as she stood outside the

room where her father’s cousin had

just been murdered, it had seemed she

could never laugh again. The car rac-

ed up a little hill and now again was'

descending; the headlights showed an-

other brige over a ravine.


“Slow! Stop!” her companion com-

manded.


She paid no attention and raced the

car on; he put his hand on the wheel

and with his foot tried to push hers

from the accelerator; but she fought

him; the car swayed and all but ran

away as they approached the bridge.

“Give it to me!” she screamed to him

and wrenched the car about. It was

upon the bridge'and across it; as they

skidded upon ‘ the mud of the road

again, they could hear the bridge

cracking behind. . .

illustrious sons, but seven daugh-


ters of the White House have pray-

en that the female descendants are

not without their claim to honors.

What illustrious father has a, better

known daughter than our Alice Roose-

Velt Long-worth? True, Mrs. Long-

worth has not chosen to follow her

father’s teachings and go in for large

families, shooting big game, and run-

ning for ofﬁce. But her success in get-

ting her hushand elected to congress

showed that she can wield the Big

Stick if necessary. Mrs. Longworth is

easily the most talked about White

House girl since Dolly Madison, and

created almost as much of a sensation

in England as she did at home. Dur-

ing the ‘war she did relief work, and

turned her home over to the Red

Cross.

William H. Taft, is as scholarly as her

distinguished father. She is a star in

history, economics and poltics, having

studied history at Yale, where She

qualiﬁed for her degree of bachelor of

arts. Mrs. Fred J. Manning is now

her name. Her husband is instructor

in history at Yale. ,


A past generation remembers Esther


-Cleveland as the White House baby.


She is now Mrs. William Sidney Bence

Bosanquet, wife of a D. S. O. of the

Coldstream Guards, whom she met in

Switzerland. It is related that during

her girlhood days in Princeton two

Princeton boys ran a foot race for her,

hand. She rewarded the winner by

turning down both suitors. During the

war Mrs. Bosanquet went abroad to

engage in war relief work, and served

as a nurse in Dunstan Home for Blind-

ed Soldiers in London.

Woodrow Wilson has two daughters

who are much in the public eye, Miss

Margaret Wilson and Mrs. William

work took the form of boosting the


sale of Liberty Bonds. She went about

Removing Stains

Some Suggestion: on Renovating 01.! (7101716:


Rust stains on white goods are not

hard to remove. Apply a solution of

citric acid, one part to twenty parts

of water. After the spot has disap-

peared wash in warm water. Some-

times when the color of the fabric has

been destroyed by acid, ammonia ap-

plied at once will restore it. If it

proves‘obstinate apply chloroform.


Oil of turpentine will remove tar

spots, and iodine stains on white goods

can be taken off by Washing with al-

cohol. Lemon and salt will remove

ink stains, and tomato juice is a good

remedy. Blood stains on white dresses

should be soaked in petroleum and

then washed in hot water. When fruit

stains the table linen, cover immedi-

ately with salt. ~In removing black ink

from colored garments cover immedi-

ately with red ink and not a trace of

either ink will remain. Test your goods

ﬁrst, though. Stains caused by lemon

or orange juice will usually respond to

an application of one part ammonia

to twenty parts of water. Molasses

will remove the grass stains on white

goods, and buttermilk and salt, mildew

Spots. If you drop a tiny bit of cream


on your gown, touch the spot with

ammonia and iron over blotting

paper. For a raspberry or strawberry

stain rub a little starch on and leave

for a few hours. If it is oil from the

salad dressing, sprinkle plentifully

with talcum powder and let remain for

several hours. Brush off and repeat

until the Spot has disappeared. Ordi~

nary stains on silk may be removed by

using spirits of turpentine. Always ,re-

member when using turpentine, gaso-

line, or benzine for Spots to put a blot-

ting paper underneath and thus ,do

away with the ring around the Spot.


A white frock spotted with brown

dye was restored by rising in Javelle

water, and then rinsing again and

again in clear water in which a. little

ammonia had been added. One must

act quickly when rinsing in Javelle

water for if the work is slow the gown

may be ruined. Javelle water is made

of one part chloride of lime and ten

parts of water. Then one part of

washing soda is dissolved in four parts

of water. Allow this to settle and pour

off the clear liquid into a jar with the

ﬁrst mixture and keep covered. ‘


Ground rice is good for cleaning

white ﬂannels that you do not want to

wash. Rub in, let the garment lay for

a. day or so and brush off. Repeat if

not clean.


Furs maybe cleaned with common

bran. Warm the bran in the oven and

use on the fur as hot as your hand will

stand. Rub in well and then brush

carefully. The dirt will come out with

the bran—Ammo FARRAR. /

WOMEN To WORK FOR DIéARMA-

’ MENT.


0 back up the recent disarmament

conference the National Council


‘ for the Limitation of Armaments is


planning to make use of the various

women organizations hich are work-

ing through state an national organi-

zations. F. J. Libbey, executive secre-

is now en tour

visiting these various women’s clubs

and enlisting their help in internation-

al disarmament.


ARE FARM WOMEN “OVER.

WORKED?


DO Michigan farm women consider

themselves overworked and down-

trodden? Or do they think their lot

compares very favorably with women

workers in other vocations? The fav-

orite attitude of some writers towards

farm women is that their life is one

unending round of toil.‘ Is this in any

way a true picture of the farm woman

of today?


West Virginia farm women say

Furthermore, they resent this

“overworked” idea so strongly that

they are organizing to start a cam-

paign in the other direction. This sort

of idea can not help but keep women

off the farms, and be a factor in driv-

ing farm girls to the city. Farm wom-

en do not want to be pitied nor patron-

ized, say these \Vest Virginia women.

They want to be understood.


Mrs. Izetta Brown, of ' Kingwood,

West Virginia, is a leader in the move-

ment. “Women working in clubs are

learning the value of concerted action

in bettering country life,” says Mrs.

Brown. “They are bringing about )bet-

ter school conditions, straightening out

community problems. Now they are


going to start a campaign of optimism


about country life.”

ON FOOD VALUES.


I AM taking the liberty to write you

with reference to an article entitled,

“Lessons in Health Culture,” appear-

ing in the March 4 issue of the Michi-

gan Farmer. I have no axe to grind,

but am making this suggestion with

the idea that you certainly would not

knowingly give circulation to inaccur-

ate information in regard to nutrition.

To be speciﬁc, I think that you will

ﬁnd nothing in the literature in sup-

port ef the statement that the oil of

nuts is more wholesome than animal

fats; that lettuce is cooling'to the

blood, or that any other food for that

matter, can be spoken of as- cooling to

the blood; that lettuce contains opium

and has any speciﬁc effect upon. the

nerves; that onions can properly be

referred to as “nervines;” that celery

is a nerve food and that it has speciﬁc

effect with reference-to dyspepsia, neu-

ralgia, and rheumatism; and that to-

matoes stimulate the liver, contain

vegetable calomel, and should _be

avoided by those suffering from rheu-


. matism.

I [note also that the writer states


. Then‘sprlnkle it

“full of ordinary mixed grass seed or,


acid in easily' digested form than any

other fruit. It just happens that ap-

ples are almost at the bottom 0f the

list of fruits in relation to phosphoric

acid content.


I note also that foods are listed in

accord with their iron content as foods

for the nourishment of the blood. The


latest and most productive work on~


foods for the nourishment of the blood

has been done by ProfessorG. .H' Whip-

ple and his associates at the Univer-

sity of California Medical College. This

work has been published during the

last year in the American journal of

Physiology and in the Archives of In-

ternal Medicine. This work has been

more extensive and thorough-going

than any previous investigations on

this subject. The net result of these

studies has been that drugs have been

found to be virtually without value as

applying to blood formation, and that

meat is much more useful than other

foods for the purpose of restoring the

amount and normal composition of the

blood after the experimental animals

had been rendered anemic by bleeding.

The authors conclude that we have no

basis for ascribing these beneﬁcial re-

sults to the iron of the food. In fact,

we are without evidence as to just

what nutritive principal in the meat is

responsible for the very favorable re-

sults obtained—E. B. FORBES, Insti-

tute of American Meat Packers.


MENDING O‘HILDREN’S STOCKINGS.


HEN the children’s stockings be-

come worn at the heel, I still

prolong their usefulness by cutting out

the ragged part, as indicated by the

dotted lines, drawing the opening to-

gether and running a seam. This, of


1 1


Course, puts the part that was former-

ly the heel over the top of the foot, but

the seam is at a point where no incon-

venience is caused by pressure of the

shoe—C. Z. G.

Howl Grew MyPotato Crop


By Tool Stemorz, ’T/zree Times State Potato Champion


HIS is my fourth and last year


.in club work. Next year I will


be nineteen years old so I must

drop out to make room for some

younger boy. I am 'sorry thatl must

drop out of this work as I am more

interested this year than ever before

and I regret that I 'could' not have

started when I was younger. Club

work will help to make many good

farmers which are very much needed.

These potatoes of mine have an inter-

esting history behind them. .


About twenty—ﬁve years ago Mr.

Longyear came to Covington to hunt

deer. The pioneer that he stayed with

complained that his potatoes were

very poor. Mr. Longyear then told

him that he had some very good pota-

toes that he would send for seed the

next spring. An Irishman, Mr. Long-

year said, had brought these potatoes

with him from Ireland. This pioneer

gave my father seed and by years of

hill and seed selection, we have made

a fairly good potato for yield and for

eating.


For four years I have raised a quar-

ter of an acre of potatoes and on this

one acre I have raised over four hun-

dred bushels of saleable potatoes. The

ﬁrst year I sold my potatoes at one

dollar a bushel which left me a net

gain of about sixty dollars. The sec-

ond year I sold twenty bushels in the

fall at a dollar and a half and kept the

rest until spring and received three

and one-half dollars for them. So then

I had enough to buy a calf and go to

the agricultural school. I went to

school at the Menominee Agricultural

School. I paid $109.93 for my heifer,

a pure-bred Holstein bought at New-

berry State Farm. Her name is Prin-

cess Longﬁeld Segis. Longﬁeld, the

name of her sire, took ﬁrst place at

the International Live Stock Show at

Chicago two years ago. Princess is

now the mother ‘of my club calf.


During my third year in club work,

I did not sell any of my potatoes. 1:

seventy-ﬁve cents per bushel, but

thought I would get more in the spring

and was fooled. During the four years

that I have been in club work, I have


taken ﬁrst place in our county on my

potatoes and story. I have also taken

prizes at the four county fairs - at

Houghton, competing not in club class

only, but with the rest 'of the farmers.

I also have taken the state champion-


Ted Stenson Among His Potatoes.


What the


ships for two years in succession, thus '

winningthe silver cup, but I must win

it once more to have it for keeps. I

also have received a. scholarship which

will be paid on my fees at the M. A.

C. if I go there, which I intend to do.

Does anyone think that I- was a loser

or foolish to join the potato club? No,

I was not. I have a cow and a. calf, a

loving cup, a. scholarship: at M. A. 0.,

and my potatoes to sell this fall, and

besides all this, I have learned a great

deal about good farming that I could

have learned in no other way. So at

the end of my last year, I wish to

thank all the extension workers, and,

although I can no longer be a member,


’I shall always be on the side lines and


boost. Three cheers for club work!

May the good work go on!

Runt Did


By J. Leland Fowler


R. WATKINS owned some choice


White hogsthat were registered

stock and he was very proud of them.

Among the last litter of pigs, born in

March, there was one that would not

grow. They were old enough to wean'

but this little fellow was no larger

than it was when only a week 'old.


Ben, a lad of fourteen years, was as

much of a hog fancier as his father,

and when Mr. Watkins decided to kill,

the runt of theMarch litter, Ben beg-

ged so earnestly for the little life that

his father gave a reluctant consent up-

on the conditions that the pig must be

removed from the rest of the litter

and be cared for by Ben.


The boy fashioned a small pen from

some boards six feet long and of Vary-

ing widths. They were nailed together

in the form of a triangle which he

could easily move around. It was plac:

ed out in the old orchard and ja‘. box

was placed in one corner to furnish a

warm bed.


Every morning, Ben would turn a.

couple of shovelfuls of sod so the little

pig could} get some fresh roots, move

the pen over to a. new place, give it

all the sour milk it would drink up.

'and plenty of fresh water.


At noon he would give it a slop made

of milk, corn meal and bran, and the

same night adding a, teaspoonful of

ﬂaxseed- meal every other night. He

began by feeding one teaspoon of corn

meal and one tablespoon of bran in

each feeding of milk, and increased

the amount until he was feeding a half

cup of the corn meal and a; cup of bran

a day at the end of two months. This

was not increased until the ﬁrst of

September, when Ben made a self-

feeder and gave it all of the bran and

corn meal mixed thatit would eat until

fair time, when his pig not only weigh-

ed sixty pounds more than any other

pig of the same litter, but brought him

three ﬁrst prizes, one for the best pig

in the boys’ club, one for the largest

pig for its age, and one for the best

0. I. C. exhibited. ’


He feels that his success was due to

the tonical success of the dandelion

and other roots Which the little pig

seemed to crave, and to the morning’s

feeding of fresh sour milk. The doc-

tor had told him to drink it fresh

every morning if he wished to feel

good, and- he felt that if it was goOd

for him it might be good for the pig.


The_ pig had all the green food it

would eat all summer, besides its slop.

The green food consisted of the or-

chard grass and weeds and such ,gar-

den waste as poor beets, carrots, cab-

bage, etc., which Ben culled out as he.

worked in the vegetables. ~ ‘

HAD another ﬁne bunch of letters

to go through during the past week.

On the whole, I think they were


better than the contest letters we had


last week, but there were not quite

as many. This probably is due to the

fact that many did not see the an-

nouncement of the winners of the


March 4 contest as they had expected.

There is a lot of work in “making


up” a farm paper and many pages

have to be “made up” quite a few days

in advance. For this reason we cannot

announce the winners until two weeks

after the contest appears.

test are: ’

Say, boys, I am not putting

your names last because I think

the girls had better letters than

you, but because I believe in

“Ladies’ First.”


Question number four wasthe one

on which most failed this time. Many

confused the editorial, “Where Enthu—'

siasm Works,” with the quotation on

enthusiasm on the Household Page.

Nearly two-thirds of those who wrote

did this. The comments on this edi-

torial were very interesting, and Mr.


»Wermuth, who wrote it, wants to thank


the many boys and girls for the good

criticisms on it.


A little over one-third of the writels

found the quotation but some found

everything but the misspelled rword.

About one-ﬁfth of all the letters got

all the questions right. So you may

well judge that I had quite a job pick-

ing‘ the winners:


The girls are still in the lead in the

number of contest letters sent, and the

ﬁnal score in the prize-takers was two

to three in favor of the girls, which


was the same as last week’s contest. ~


The boys who won this time had very

nice papers. Keep acoming boys.

CLUB CONTESTS AT DAIRY SHOW.


4


EVERAL thousand dollars will be


available for the Boys’ and Girls’

Club Department at the National Dairy

Show in 1922 in accordance with the

program outlined March 4 in the gen-

eral ofﬁces of the National Dairy AS-

sociation,‘ which will be an increase of

over one hundred per cent more than

was used last year in this department.

The tentative plan calls for an expen-

diture of $3,500 by the National Dairy

Show itself and the various breed as-

sociations will offer special prizes in

addition.


The club department will be divided

into three parts, namely, the judging

contest, the demonstration work and

the'exhibit of the various herds and in-

dividuals. The judging contest will

require an expense of $1,500. The dem-

onstration work representing one or

more teams from a number of states

will require $1,000 and the exhibit will


. receive $1,000 in prizes plus the spe-


'cials offered by the breed associations.

The tentative plan announced by the

Holstein-Friesian Association is to of-

fer the following prizes for county

herds composed of seven head from

each county for Holsteins as follows:


First, $50; second, $40; third, $30;

fourth, $20; ﬁfth, $10.


A $50 special will probably be of-

fered by the Holstein-Friesian Asso-

ciation for the best state herd, provid-

ed it is composed exclusively of H01-

steins.

' Win, but this time I want to


‘ give your brains a little different

exercise. A change in exercise

is a good thing, you know. So

I am going to ask you to write

on a subject you all know, under

the heading, “Why I Like (or

Dislike) the Farm.”


You will notice that I put the

word dislike in the title. I did

this because, if you dislike the

farm I would like to_r have you

say so, and tell why.


The .‘rules of this contest are:

Do not use more than two hun-

dred and ﬁfty words; write. on

one side of the paper only and

.give your age. Originality, neat-

ness and conciseness will be con-

siderations in judging the win-

‘-ners. .


The ﬁve best essays from boys

or girls will bring their writers

one dollar each. Anyone under

eighteen years of age can try.

'The best way to win a prize in

this contest is to tell in your

own wayzas neatly as possible

your thoughts on this subject.


Please address your letters to

Un_c1e Frank, care the Michigan

Farmer, Detroit, Mich.


and will be a great incentive for keen

competition among boys and girls in

dairy club work which will no doubt

have a far reaching inﬂuence in in-

creasing the growth of the dairy in-

dustry.

Some Emanuel: m


HE object of spring manipula-


tion is to produce alarge amount


of brood, so that when the hon-

ey-ﬂow comes on there will be a great

number of gatherers. The condition

of a. colony of bees in the spring de-

pends almost entirely on whether the

bees have been properly wintered or

not. A properly wintered colony will

need practically nogattention in the

spring. When a colony has a. good

queen and goes into Winter;quarters

strong in young bees, it will usually

pick up to good rousing strength in

time for» the honey-ﬂow, .provided,‘of

course, that it had plenty of stores and

was properly housed. Bees wintered

in single-walled hives in the northern

states will always be in bad condition.

if not dead, by spring.


As soon as the weather is warm

enough for bees to ﬂy, each colony

should be gone over to see if it needs

stores and to determine its strength.

If the bees were wintered in the cellar


this shOuld not be done until the bees

have been out of the cellar about a

week. If it needs stores it is best to

give a. frame or two of honey, if it can

be had. Do not feed sugar syrup, but

use bee candy, if you have no honey.

Be sure that each colony has a queen.

Old queens sometimes die during the

winter, thus leaving the colony hope-

lessly queenless. Such colonies are

not active in pollen gathering. They

may be united with other colonies, or

if strong enough may be given a queen

of their own.

The Cause of Spring Dwindling.


If the colony went into Winter quar-

ters with old instead of young bees,

the bees will die off faster in spring

than they are replaced by emerging

brood. This is ‘known as “spring

dwindling.” If spring dwindling begins

it is well to keep the hive warm so

that the old bees may utilize their en-

ergy to the best advantage in rearing

brood. Reducing the brood chamber

may help. Some bee-keepers unite two

or more of these weak colonies to

make a. strong one, but this is not a

very good plan, because though the

colony may seem all right when unit-

ed, it 'will soon be as small as any one

of the "units which went to compose it.)


A much better plan is as follows:

Go over each colony carefully to de-

termine its, strength. Mark the weak-


of strong ones. The weak colonies are

to be set on top of strong Ones‘with a


queen excluder between the hives. The


work must be done very carefully so

that neither colony will be excited. Es-

pecially avoid exciting the strong one.

It is a godd plan to leave the strong

colony open a few hours before, with

only the queen excluder on top.


est ones and mark the same number‘


Set '


the weak colony on very carefully.” for it.


Hokey Pma’uctzan


. By George. W. Price


there will be no disturbance.. The two

celonies will soon be working in per-

fect harmony and the queen of the

:weak colony, if she is any good. will

quickly pick up on her egg laying. It

is a good. plan, especially for a. begin-

ner, to put a wire cloth screen between

the hives for the ﬁrst .two or three

days. The two colonies will soon have

the same odor and when the queen ex-

cluder is put on,-the bees from below

will not kill the strangers- With a

very weak colony it is best to take a

frame of brood with the adhering bees

from the strong colony._ The queen

must not be on this frame. Put it into

the weak colony and put the weak col-

ony's queen on it. Then close the hive

for about half a day before setting on

top of the‘strong colony.

Handling Weak Colonies.


In about a month both hives will be!


full of bees and brood. They may then

be separated. Move the stronger col-

ony to a new location and set a board

up against the front of the hive or


throw some brush in front so the bees _


will notice. that the location has been

changed. This plan makes two strong

colonies where there would have been

only one, ‘ and is very satisfactory

whére there is not a. great many hives

to care for.


Many of the large producers sacri-

ﬁce the weak colonies to build up the

medium. One would think that a. half

strength ,colony would gather about

half as much‘honey as one of full

strength, but this is not the case, for

a. half-strength colony will probably

not go into the supers at all, while a.


,strong one will ﬁll several supers.


Uniting Colonies.


When the colonies are examined in

the spring they are marked as to

weak, medium and strong. The weak

colonies should be united with the me-

dium. The best way to do this‘is to

set the weak colonyon top of the


stronger one with'a thickness of news- ‘


paper between. The bees will soon

gnaw through the paper and unite


. peacefully. When the two queens meet


there will be a battle, in Which one

queen will kill the other. The best

queen will usually survive. If the api-

ary is run for extracted honey the hive

may be left double through the season,

but if run for comb it is better to re-

move one story just before the honey

ﬂow begins. [Leave as much sealed

brood as possible and give the lest to

weaker colonies. As there are usually

as many medium strength colonies as


there are strong and weak together, it —


is well to build up the medium by giv-

ing brood from the strong. Where

this is done, sealed brood should be

given, if possible, as unsealed brood

B‘Po'sl‘sIeL‘irQ RHEUMATIS‘M.’ A V


‘ Canyon tell me what ails my Barred

Rock hens? They seem to be well

but get spells when they can’t walk.

When trying to walk they will drag

their feet and in 'a few hourswill get

up and walk again. There are four of

them in that condition. They all lay

pretty good. I feed them all the mash

they can eat and give them two quarts

of wheat a day, and sprouted oats at

noon—E. K.


When lameness comes and goes it

is often due to rheumatism. This

might be caused by dampness in the

hen house. The condition can be im-

prove'd by keeping the house as dry

and well ventilated as possible. A tea-

spoonful of castor oil for each bird

may be helpful. If the hens have leg

weakness and lose control of the legs

entirely, it is doubtful if any treatment

will help them. This condition is not

thoroughly understood but is usually

prevented by feeding the hens a bal-

anced ration and making them exer-

cise. As soon as the hens can use the

range in the spring the trouble will

probably disappear. The hens might

gasp in better condition in cold weath—

‘er if at least half their scratch grain

consisted of corn instead of all wheat.


ROOSTER CHOKES.


I have a rooster that seemed well

until about a week ago when it seemed

to get dumpish. When attempting to

eat it would choke, twist its head side

ways and backwards and fall over. I

would run my ﬁngers along its neck

and when I would touch a certain spot

it would make repeated attempts to

get away, which indicated to me that

that particular spot was very sore.

The inside’of the. throat looked sore

and inﬂamed. Would you tell me what

is the cause of this and what I could

do for it?~—M. A.


Occasionally bits of foreign matter

such as straw or sharp briars might

become lodged in a bird’s throat and

cause inﬂammation as well as choking

whenever the bird tried to eat.


The only remedy would be to re-

move the obstruction if possible, or

give the bird a dose of Castor oil and

isolate it from the ﬂock for observa-

tion. Injury to the neck by some acci-

dent, such as a kick by a farm animal

might cause similar trouble. In-such

cases nature has to take its course

as any other treatment is rather difﬁ-

cult.


FEEDING SOUR MILK.


Please give me the proper way to

feed separated milk to laying hens.

We have one hundred pullets which

we are feeding about ﬁfteen quarts

daily, 3. portion of it mixed with bran

mash at noon and the balance given

warm to them in the morning. We

are also giving them fresh water at

noon. Our pullets are doing fairly

well, and what we wish to learn is

which way we will get the best food

value, whether sweet, sour or made

into cheese. We would also like a bal-

anced egg-making feed ration—H. W.


Poultrymen prefer to feed milk all

sour as it is found that alternating

from sweet milk to sour milk is apt to

bring on digestive diso‘rders. As the

milk is very apt to sour anyway after

being placed before the birds, it is

best not to give any of it until it has

soured. We feed the milk in crocks

during warm weather as they are

heavy and not tipped‘over easily and

can be scalded and cleaned quickly.

In the winter the crooks are- easily

broken if any liquid freezes in them.


, A good dry mash can be made of

twenty pounds each by weight of bran,

'middlings, ground corn, ground oats

and tankage or meat scrap. If you

have plenty of milk before the hens at


all times the amount of meat scrap can


be cut in two as too heavy protein

feeding is bad for the health of the

birds. The tankage must be high-grade

to be the equal of beef scrap: .


It’s the happy hen that lays the


eggs.

HERE has been a. considerable

falling oil? in meat production in

the United States since the war

record of 1918, when about 17,500,000,-


ing lard, are estimated to have been

marketed, of which 2,500,000,000

pounds were exported. EconOmic con-

ditions, at ﬁrst favorable to producers

and later very unfavorable, have since

then, however, operated, to cause a

production, of upwards of 16,000,000,-

000 pounds each year up to and includ-

ing 1921, but the exports last year had-

fallen to 820,000,000 pounds, or only

one-third as large as those of 1918.

‘Heavy Decline in Beef Since War.

The great war effort‘of beef grow-

ers in 1918 resulted in the marketing

that year of 15,750,400 animals, which

yielded about 7,500,000,000 pounds of

dressed beef. This number has never


been approached before or since. In

three years the cattle slaughterings

have fallen to 12,271,280 with an ac-

companying decline of over a billion

pounds in beef production. Since 1910

the consumption of beef per head of

the population in the United States is

shown to have decreased a fraction

over twenty pounds. V


The exports of beef products fell

from 728,000,000 pounds in 1918 to only

52,0000,000 pounds in 1921. A large

reduction in export shipments was to

be expected, however, as the United

States for several years before the

World War was not a, beef-exporting

country. South America and Austral-

asia have become the great sources of

cheap beef and mutton, and naturally

dominate the foreign trade in those

commodities.


Falling prices for live stock contin-

ued in 1921, so that farmers generally

faced a very difﬁcult ﬁnancial situa-

tion. Low values were accentuated by

uneven marketing, attributed to forced

liquidation on the part of many‘own—

ers.


Veal Gains Halted in 1920.


Perhaps the most outstanding fea-

ture of the domestic meat situation in

recent years has been the increase in

the production and consumption of

veal. The number of calves annually

slaughtered increased steadily from

1915 to 1919, and calves marketed in

that year almost doubled the number

in 1914 and 1915. The upward trend

was halted, however, in 1920, and veal

production has fallen back somewhat

in the last two years. ~ ‘


Lamb Consumption on Increase.


The table showing sheep and lamb

slaughter is marked by considerable


. irregularity. The slaughter was great-


est from 1911 to 1914, after which it

declined for three years, then increas-

edsfor two years, declined again in

1920, and last year rose sharply to ,the

highest total in six years. \ - .


Exports and imports of mutton and

lamb have been almost negligible until

1920, when New Zealand frozen lamb

carcasses were imported in large quan-

tities, 'making an epoch in the trade.


The total weight imported during the: -


year was 1,01,ooo,o_qo pounds, -but git


ay of


BeéfDecline: Izz'le Comu‘mption of Lam} I ”man;


000 pounds of dressed meats, exclud-'


Prices


1y one-half of it was re-exported. The

exports of domestic mutton in 1921 for

the ﬁrst time began td'showvsome im-

portance, being 20,000,000 pounds, or

four times as large as in any previous

year. 5 , ' - ‘-


‘ COnsumption of mutton and lamb in

the United States is only about six

pounds per person per annum and is

very small compared to beef and pork.

It is smaller even than veal, of which

about eight pounds per person is con-

sumed. Judging from the increased

consumption last year, however, the

campaign “Eat More Lamb” seems to

have had some effect. Still we have

a long way yet to go to catch up with

Britain, or even France. According to‘

ﬁgures previously published, the aver-

age Briton consumes relatively about

seven times‘as much mutton and lamb

as the average American, while the


Jay Harwood’s Herd of Eighty Registered Herefords Headed by Captain

Stanway and Keep On.


average for France is

times as much. '


Lard Exports Largest on Record.


Pork production in 1920 and 1921

fell considerably below the high record

made in 1919 when marketings were

unusually 1arge,‘due to a great extent

to the high prices prevailing during

that year, including the highest ever

paid for live hogs. Nevertheless, the

home consumption of pork was slight-

ly greater in 1920 and 1921 because of

the heavy decrease in exports. The

record exports of bacon and hams in

1919 have in two years been reduced

almost two-thirds, the totals for these

two items in round ﬁgures being 1,-

787,000,000 pounds sent abroad in 1919,

822,000,000 pounds in 1920, and 648,-

000,000 in 1921.


The one bright spot in the foreign

trade situation in 1921, as related to

meat products, was the exports of lard,

which were the largest on record.

More lard was exported in 1921\than

all meats combined. The total ship-

ments amounted to 893,00,000 pounds,

a substantial increase over recent

years and an increase of ﬁftycﬁve per

cent over the pre-war year 1913. A

factor in this result was the resump-

tion of heavy trading with Germany,

which; next to the United Kingdom,

is the largest foreign consumer of our

lard. ‘.

How to Hook #223 T andem Into. a Proﬁz‘aé/e T mm


‘ ANY factors enter into success-


- ful dairy farming. Three of them

are of vital importance. First,

there is the man. It is said that some

men, attempt to qualify as expert ma-

chinists who would not keep a wheel-

barrow running properly. Similarly,

some men attempt to make dairymen

out of themselves when they have no

qualiﬁcations for handling live stock.

They are out of their element, The


.man who does not like live stock, but


who is good at following rules, may

get along fairly well with dairy cattle.

But this is the exception and not the

rule'. When we ﬁnd milk reaching city

markets containing up to ﬁfty million


bacteria per cubic centimeter and see' 1


the great number of undernourished

scrubby looking dairy herds that are

found in every county in the country,

We are almost inclined to believe that

the proportion of misplaced workers

in the dairy industry must be particu‘

larly large.


Any man who does like live stock,

however, is willing to intelligently

study the problems connected with

milk production, can make a surer liv-

ing out of the dairy cow than from any

other line of farming.


Then comes the cow. It is wasted

effort to give good care and good feed

to cows that just simply haven’t it in

them to make milk in proﬁtable quan-

tities. The proﬁtable dairy herd is


composed of cows from good produc-

ing ancestors, either grade or, pure-

bred, that have been themselves prov-

en producers through one or more'lac-

tation periods. Sometimes we are in-

clined to believe that there are more

poor feeders than poor cows, and that

many of the so-called 3,000-pound cows

would produce 5,000 or 6,000 pounds of

milk if only given half a chance. On

the other hand, there are cows pro-

ducing 5,000 and 6,000 pounds of milk

that should” be producing 8,000 or 9,000

pounds on the feed and care that they

receive. The ability to select good

cows is the ﬁrst and most important

attribute of a good dairyman.


Finally, there is the question of feed.

The farmer who is a good dairyman

and has good cows, will be only an in-

different success unless‘he operates

his farm to produce maximum quanti-

ties of nutritious roughage. On the

dairy farm, large acreage will be de-

voted to legumes such as red clover,

sweet clover and alfalfa, to the produc-

which it ships its cheese. They have

contracted with the VVisconSin Cheese

Federation to actas their sales agent

and by so doing they have made the

federation just so much stronger.


The cost of cooperative handling of

cheese has been reduced so that the

federation is able to do it for 1.2 to 1:6

cents on every dollar’s worth. The

cost through private dealers is from


4.7 to 9.3 cents on the dollar, as shown-


by the Wisconsin College of Agricul-

ture.


Supervision of factories and strict

grading of the product is oné of the

great features which is making for suc-

cess in this organization. Mr. E. L.

Alderhold, who has been‘connected

with the Agricultural College of Wis-

cousin, and who has served as inspect-

or for the state on cheese factory work

for the past thirty years, is factory

supervisor for the'Federation._


When cheese arrives at the ware-

house and is found to be off grade,

Mr, Aderhold visits the cheesemaker

and instructs him in ways to overcome

the defects. In this way the product

of the federated factories is stand-

ardized.


A few years ago some very large in-

terests entered the cheese trade of

Wisconsin and made it known that

they would handle cheese with a large

per cent of moieture in it and the fac-

tories could ship it out the day it was

made. This reduced the work of the

cheesemakers several hours per day

and was part‘of the plan to keep fac-


tories out of the federation. This also'


gave Wisconsin cheese quite a set-

back in the consuming markets.


The state was forced, by this meth-

od, to pass laws to protect the dairy

industry and put laws into effect pro-

hibiting the shipping of cheese before

it was three days old and limited the

moisture content to thirty-eight per


. cent.


The federation has started to adver-

tise a Melocreme cheese in Milwaukee


1., with ,hulte -good. results. Melocreme


. .18 the'highest quality of Amer-

‘ " his ‘ association han-

ﬁori in the


large markets. This assbciation sells

nothing except American cheese and

through their method of grading and

standardization they are building a.

valuable reputation for quality.


There is a surplus period every year

during the months of April, May and

June, in which much more cheese is

made than is consumed. At this time

the dealers take advantage of the price

and buy for storage and by holding

make good money generally.


Last year, by informing the buying

trade that cheese would be sold for

thirteen cents per pound, the men who

are against the federation were able to

get the trade to stop buying and the

price did go that low—and then came

back to twenty cents by the end of the

surplus period. This year the federa-

tion intends to store and hold their

cheese through this period and ﬁnance

the holding with warehouse receipts.


The cheese producers of Menominee

county are considering the organiza-

tion of a warehouse and cooler com-

pany for their twenty-two factories.

This would enable them to market

their cheese through the Wisconsin

Cheese Federation the same as the

Minnesota farmers are now doing. This

seems to be the only solution for put-

ting their business ona sound basis.

In the past every factory has been

making the best bargain possible with

some dealerland these dealers have

not been able to get the best price on

account of the varied qualities they

have been buying. The farmers are

beginning to realize thatonly large

volume of standard goods ”will get

them the results they are looking for.

The very best trade will not buy food

products, no matter how good the qual-

ity, from a small factory because he

will only just get‘the tastes of his

customers educated to the quality

when .he ﬁnds the supply short. He

wants to know that the supply will be

continual before he will buy the beSt

quality. ‘ /


Therefore, a large supply of stand-

ard produce sold by the best talent,

under the control of thefarmer’s‘will,

is the only way to save to the producer

that. which he should have; - »

_ 0N HANDLING LAMBS.


I READ in your issue of March 11


an article, entitled “Handling the

Young Lambs,” by L. W. Oviatt. I

am going to make two suggestions

along lines referred to. I have been

a. breeder of Merino sheep for years.


First, I‘would not use warm water

except as a last resort, as the lambs

are more liable to take cold than if by


dry-warming up. During lambing sea-.


son, have a quantity of bricks hot for

use and place a layer in the bottom of

a. suitable basket. Cover well with old

carpet, under as well as over to retain

heat, and protect the lamb. ‘ This will

generally do the work and the mother

will not disown as often as is the case

if taken away for a time. Also, should

there be twins, they may be kept to-

gether while warmed and dried.


The other is regarding the eyes.

It is a, very common thing to have the

eyelids turn in on wrinkly sheep. Turn

the lid out and then with a sharp pair

of sheep shears clip the wrinkle off.


You need not fear going through the ,


eye. You only clip off the outer skin

and you will be surprised how the lid

opens. I have found it necessary to

clip both lids on a few, but I never

out off the outer edges of the lids, only

the wrinkle and not only through the

ﬁrst skin. They always get well very

soon.~0. DAUGHERTY.


HURON COUNTY FARMERS FAT-

TEN CATTLE FOR SPRING

MARKET.


HERE are more cattle “on feed”

in the western half of Huron coun-

ty than in a number of years, accord-

ing to Frank Hutson, of Bad Axe. In

former years these cattle were pur-


chased in Chicago, but- during .the past.


two years farmers have learned they

can get a supply in this county and

that the animals bought at home show

greater gains than western cattle. Tus-

cola. county farmers alone bought close

to 1,500 feeders from Bad Axe last

fall and these animals will be on the

market this spring. Not many cattle

are fattened in the eastern half of the

county or in Sanilac county, but a good

many are raised there for stockers.


Buyers are paying nine and a half .


cents for live hogs, quite a raise from

last fall when ﬁve and a half to six

cents was paid. Because of low mar-

ket prices many farmers went out of

the hog-raising business and now they

are wishing they were in it again, but

they can not get pigs. Mr. Hu-tson

says lower prices will prevail if this

country does not do something to curb

importations from South America,

where it is said the packing houses are

full of stock and waiting to dump on

the market here—J. C. M.


ATTEMPT BOYCOTT OF FARMERS’


COMMISSION HOUSE.


HARGING that a boycott against


cooperative live stock commission

ﬁrms has been attempted at the St.

Louis National Stock Yards, Secretary

of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace re-

cently issued a formal ~‘ complaint

against every “old line” live stock


‘commission ﬁrm' that is ,a member of


the .St. Louis Stock Exchange, and


against the principal order buyers,


déalers and traders at that market.

The offenders, 110 in all, who have


hrefused‘ to do business with the Na-


tional Producers' Liv‘e‘ Stock Commis-

sion Association as well as other inde-


pendent farmers? cooperative live stock .


federal court at East St. Louis, Illi-

nois, March 20 to show cause why an

order should not be issued against

them, under the Packers’. and Stock


Yards Act, to ‘fcease and/desist” from’


the practices complained of.. .It is

claimed that the defendants not only

boycotted the cooperatives but any

ﬁrm that did business with them.

This is the ﬁrst formal complaint

issued under the Packers’ and Stock

Yards Act approved August 15,1921,

and its issuance is the outgrowth of a.

considerable amount of complaint at

the St. Louis market, it is said.

Opening for business "on January 2,

the Producers’ Live Stock Commission

Association at St. Louis. climbed to

ﬁrst place in volume of business with-

in seven weeks. Not only has it main-

tained ﬁrst rank since among all com-

mission ﬁrms, but the total volume of

business handled by the four coopera-

tive ﬁrms now amounts to more than

twenty-ﬁve penceﬁt of the entire re-

ceipts at this market. In conformity

with the cooperative plan all earnings

on commissions are pro-rated back to

the members by the farmers’ compa-

nies. At South St. Paul Stock Yards

and elsewhere‘it has been demonstrat-

ed that where producers’ companies

get volume the regular commission

charges can be materially reduced.


LOCAL WOOL POOL ARRANGE-

MENTS.


HARLOTTE, Owosso, St. Johns


and Howell have been given ﬁrst

local pooling dates in late April by the

management of -the Michigan State

Farm Bureau’s 1922 wool pool, which

was opened recently. At present wool

is being received at the Lansing ware-

house where a forty per cent cash ad-

vance is being made‘on the current

value of the graded wool. Twenty-

three local pooling points in the ﬁrst

tier of Michigan counties had been

scheduled March 14. This year the

farm bureau wool department is proﬁt-

ing by last year’s grading campaign

and is consolidating some county pool-


ing points for greater economy and .


efficiency in pooling.


Announcement of the pool is follow-

ed by reports of wool coming into the

Lansing "warehouse. Two Michigan

farmers can claim the honor of being

No. 1 on ’the farm bureau’s 1922 wool

pool account books and the ﬁrst to

have their 'wool in the 1922 pool. They

are No.A-1, George Middlestitch, of

Jackson and No. 1, James Chesneyl

of Grindstone City.


Early reports regarding the 1922

pool show that wool storage is costing

less in 1922, fewer storage places will

be needed" under the plan of shipping

direct to the central warehouse after

local grading for assembling and sale.

Twanprevious pools have shortened up

the lines of commui'cation everywhere


and the farm bureau is making ar- '


rangements at considerably less ex-

pense than heretofore. Full couriers--

tion is being given the p00! in the


\ counties, the bureau says.

. Fetlock Joint Lameness.——I have a

horse that has limped for two months,

the trouble is in ankle joint. M. D.,

Grand Ledge, Mich—Apply equal parts

of turpentine, aqua ammonia and raw

linseed oil to fetlock joint daily.


Stifle Lameness.—Colt coming three

years old has been troubled in stiﬂe

ever since, or soon after, birth. He is

yet lame, but joint does not slip out

of place. What can be done for him?

H. B., Brutus, Mich—Apply equal

parts tincture of iodine and camphor-

ated oil daily to stiﬂe joint. Recovery

is very doubtful.


Piles.——My young pigs commenced to

scour; later on the bowel protruded

and some of them died. Another pig

holds head to one side and staggers

C. D., Cassopolis,

Mich—Dissolve one ounce of acetate

of lead in one quart of cold‘ water and

wet protruding part three times a day.

Give pig castor oil to open bowels and

keep them open.


Sore Leg.-—I have horse eight years

old that got kicked this winter; since

then bunch opened. She got relief.

Proudﬂesh ﬁlls the wound. Have ap-

plied burnt alum, also blue vitriol,

which has worked ﬁne, but I would

like to heal sore. J. H. R., Concord,

Mich—Apply equal parts of iodoform

and boric acid, also cover sore with

oakum and light bandage.


Shy Breeders.—Some of my cows

fail to get with calf, they come in heat

every four weeks. My bull is a sure

breeder as he gets some of my cows

with calf and all my neighbors’ cows

with calf. F. H.. Plymouth, Mich.—

Dissolve a cake of yeast in one quart

of water, let it stand in warm room

for two or three hours then ﬂush

vagina. Apply this treatment daily for

one week before cow comes in heat

and two or three hours before service.

Please report results.


Bunch on Knee.-—-—I have a very val-

uable horse that has a bunch about

the size of a man’s two ﬁsts on front

part of knee joint. The bunch has a

hard center and prevents leg ﬂexing

more than forty-ﬁve degrees. Leg was

bruised one year ago, but has never

been treated, but chest and shoulder

is sweenied. Moderate work fails to

make him worse. D. J. B., South Bend,

Ind—All things considered, you had

better leave the leg alone, and avoid

driving him faster than a walk.


Docking Aged Ewes.—I have some

ewes 3 and 4 years old with long tails

and I would like to cut them off. Is

there any danger in docking old ewes?

When is the best time and what shall

I apply to wound? W. S., Merrill,

Mich.—~It should-not be done in very

cold or very hot weather. When done

ligate tail to stop hemorrhage and

don’t allow the bone to protrude, dis-

joint and allow ﬂesh to heal over end.

Apply one part iodoform and ten parts

boric acid to wound. Ewes far ad-

vanced in pregnancy should not be

docked, until after they lamb.


Contagious Abortion—Shy Breeders.

—~—I have four cows which lost their

calves. The ﬁrst 'one lost her calf one

year ago, the other three Awhen six

months along. Have been breeding

these cows regularly since they calved

but they don’t get with calf. I have

ﬂushed vagina with soda and water.

I have ﬁve other cows that are with

calf. Do you believe they have infec-

tions abortion? My barn ﬂoor is ce-

ment and quite smooth. E. T., Wal-

dron, Mich. ‘-Doubtless you have con-

tagious abortion in your herd. Clean

and disinfect cow stable.


Barren Mare—Vaginitis.——I have a

thirteen-year-old mare that had a colt

two years ago, colt came hind legs

ﬁrst and it died. Mare has failed to

breed since, comes in heat about every

two.weeks;, after service shedis-

charges mucus for four days,’ and

sometimes seems all right after she is

bred, then discharges mucus between

heat periods. 'I am anxious to get her

with foal. R. L. R., Cal-o, Mich—-

Have her examined by a qualiﬁed vet—

erinarian, who will ascertain the cause

of her failure tobreed. Perhaps she

was injured at foaling time and some

surgical work might make her well.

Flushing vagina with one part lysol

and 100 parts water daily, might help


her.

WHEAT


Conditions which caused the decline

in wheat prices during the last two

and one-half weeks were largely tem-

porary. With liberal quantities arriv-

ing in Europe and large amounts on

passage for European ports, some of

it still unsold, European buyers took

advantage of the situation and dropped

out of the market and made an invol-

untarc bargain day for their own ben-

eﬁt. A sharp decline in foreign ex-

change rates also was a factor. Aside

from the improvement in the winter

wheat crop in the southwest as a re-

sult of generous rains in that section,

the situation shows no very material

. change. Europe must have a lot of

- wheat before next harvest and will not

be able to keep her needs concealed.


CORN


Primary receipts of corn have de-

clined about as expected and are now

running the lightest since early De-

cember when the new ﬁrst crop began

to move freely. Demand from most

domestic sources is slow and expert

sales have declined during the last

few weeks but industries are buying

enough to take care of the receipts so

that the visible supply, which is now

48,000,000 bushels and the largest

known in the annals of the trade, is

believed to be at its maxim-um. The

trend of corn prices‘depends largely

on what transpires in the wheat mar-


ket.

OATS


Notwithstanding the limited distri-

.bution of cats during the last eight

months, the movement from primary

markets into iconsumptive channels

has not increased as much as expect-

ed. Producers are not selling so rap-

idly as a few weeks ago but reciepts

at primaries are still fairly generous

and the visible supply has .not been

cut down a great deal. Small quanti-

ties are being sold for export but un-

less the total demand increases mate-

rially there will be no acute shortage

of this grain. ‘


HAY.


Receipts of hay at the leading dis-

tributing markets are still light but

are adequate to supply the tradeat

most points. Demand for the better

grades ofytimothy and alfalfa is satis-

‘ factory but other grades are difﬁcult

,_ to move. Some ,of the surplus Sections


prompt


Ag.


. ‘ steers medium and heavy.“-

1999“ that their supplies: have been_


" I emails-I! _I.I skimmer; 5. *'


disposed of while others still have

large reserves for sale. In the south

pasture is already becoming available

and is reducing the demand from that

section. Rains in Kansas and Okla-

homa have vastly improved the pros-

pect for the next crop.


SEEDS


Cloverseed prices are remaining

near the high point of the season with

red clover especially strong. The al-

sike market has deClined slightly but

no further losses are anticipated until

after spring needs are satisﬁed.’ A sur-

vey made by the department of agri-

culture indicates an increased demand

for, clover, alfalfa and timothy seed as

compared with the spring of 1921.


FEEDS


Feed markets especially wheat feeds

have become weak because of a slack

demand. Flour mills are forcing bran

and middlings on the market for 30-

day shipment at lower prices and sup-

plies seem to be accumulating in the

east. Gluten feed and hominy feed did

not advance as far as wheat feeds and

demand has sufﬁced to maintain quo-

tations. Cottonseed meal and »linseed

meal prices are steady as available

supplies are not large.


POULTRY AND EGGS


Egg prices have held within a narc

row range during the past week and

sentiment is developing that the spring

decline is about over. About twenty

per cent of the receipts at the four

leading ciies is going into cold stor-.

age. Market receipts may increase

sharply again and depress prices still

further, but such declines should prove

short-lived, and storage operators feel

that they are safe in taking hold. Re-

ceipts of dressed poultry at the four

largest cities since January 1 have


been 43,848,000 pounds compared with

42,403,000 pounds in the same period


of last year. .

BUTTER


Although the supply of butter at Chi-

cago, New York, Boston and Philadel-

phia was slightly larger, than in the,

preceding week and considerably larg-.

er than the corresponding week a year

ago, consuming demand has enlarged.

and prices advanced at all four points.

Nor was the improved demand conﬁn-

ed to the large cities but seemed to be

general all over the United States. Be-

sides absorbing liberal receipts of

fresh butter, large quantities are be-

ing withdrawn from cold storage and


there is a possibility that the remain-‘


ing supply of cold storage will not

hold out until additional increases in

production are large enough to supply

the entire trade with fresh butter. It

is probable that prices have advanced

nearly the limit but as long as butter

disappears at the present rate, the

market will be on fairly solid footing.


Prices for 92-score fresh butter

were:


New York 40c; Boston 400. In De-

troit fresh creamery in tubs sells for

WOOL


Although the wool market has be-

come a slow affair, values are ﬁrm for

the most part and especially so for

don continues With prices steady and

advances although others are at slight-

POTATOES


Potato shipments from the produc-

ing sections were heavy again last

week and themarket declined. The

movement is at the rate of about 5,000

cars per week. Total shipments for

the season have amounted to 185,810

cars compared with 164,648 cars to the

same date last year. A few cars of

new potatoes are already coming for-

ward from Florida. Northern round

white stock is quoted at $1.40@1.47

per hundred-pound sack f. o. b. ship-

ping points, $1.65@1.75 in the Chicago

carlot market and $1.90@2 at other


points.

BEANS


The general trend of the bean mar-

ket still appears to be upward. Choice

hand-picked white stock f. o. b. Mich-

igan shipping points was quoted at

$7.25 per 100 pounds early in the week

but eased slightly to $7@7.10 at the

close. Red kidney beans were quoted

at $8. The Supply is being well clean-

ed up and reserves are not expected

to last through June. Consuming de-

mand has been good. Colorado pintos

are quoted at $6.25@6.50 per 100 lbs.

f. o. b. shipping points While Califor-

nia whites are $6626.25 and limas $9

@10. Some beans are still being sold

for export although it is certain that

imports will be necessary lateron to

supply the trade. ‘


APPLES


The barrelled apple market is weak

but the boxed apple market is ﬁrm.

Much of ’the barrelled stock is of poor

quality. A-21,§ Baldwins are quoted at

$7 @_8 in consuming markets. ‘

The demand for poultry was good,

while eggs were in very plentiful sup-

ples were not in great supply. On the

A NEW. FARMERs' FINANCE BILL.


' EARINGS on the new Anderson

Lamont bill designc'd to meet the

credit roommate. of the" farmers

and stockmen' in the production and

staple crops and live

stock, have been in progress before

the senate banking and currencycom-

mittens. This farm credit bill which

Dr. T. C. Atkeson, Washington repre-

sentative of the National Grange char-

acterizes as “coming nearer meeting

the requirements of the farmers than

any of the many other bills that have


wor‘d in farm credit legislation,” is the

child of the Congressional Joint Com-

mission of Agricultural inquiry.


In presenting the bill, Representa-

tive Sydney Anderson said the com‘


. mission had in mind not only the' pres-


ent situation but undertook to set up

machinery that would meet the farm-

er’s requirements in the future. It


months to three years, based on live

stock, and on staple farm crops secur-

ed by warehouse receipts.


A farmer who wishes to secure a

loan ,with which to purchase cattle

which he proposes-to fatten, under the

provisions of the bill, would apply to

his cattle loan‘ association or local


bank, offering a chattel mortgage run-.


ning for say three years. This bank

whether it is a member of the federal

reserve or not, knOwing it could dis-

count the note, makes the loan for the

time speciﬁed. The bank would then

apply to the farm credits department

of the Federal Land Bank to redis-

count the note with'its endorsement.

The farm credits department would

take the note at a rate of discount

ﬁxed by the ‘Federal Land Bank. This

and other similar notes would form the

basis upon which debenture bonds

would be sold.


Senator Arthur Capper, a member

of the joint commission of agricultural

inquiry, said the proposed bill was the

result of much study. It does not go

as far as some would like to go, but

it is a start. Western banks have a

fear of frozen credits: and are urging

that a. better system of farm credits be


established.

TARIFF NEWS.


N import duty of ﬁfteen per cent


ad valorem on hides has been vot-

ed by senate ﬁnance committee mem-

bers who are rewriting the Fordney

tariff bill. Hides were on the free list

under the Payne-Aldrich and Under-

wood tariffs and were left on the free

list in the. Fordney bill. .Members of

the agricultural bloc from the west

and northwest insisted that cattle rais-

ers be protected.


Senator Gooding, of Idaho, chairman

of the agricultural bloc, appearing be.

fore the senate ﬁnance committee, in-

sisted upon a basis rate of thirty-three

cents a pound on the scoured wool

content, which the committee has

agreed upon tentatively. Senator Good-

ing declared that senators from agri-

cultural states were determined to se-

cure protection for the farming indus-

try equal to that given other indus-

tries. -


EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT RAIL-

ROAD REGULATION.


OMPETITION has forced other in-


dustriesto yield to lower price de-

mands, and in transportation where

we have substituted government regu-

lation for competition, the interstate

Commerce Commission could not con-

sider railroads tolbe a “sort of sacred

cows in our midst immune from funda-

mm laws of society and commerce,"


hurl thee-hum necessity to lower charges


for services as other prices reclined

until “public. regulation is to become


force,” said Clifford Thorns, spokes-


man for shippers, in a brief ﬁled; with.

the commission in closing the investi-.


gation into transportation rates.


Railroads constitute the only great,

industry in the country which have.

not been “compelled by the laws of'


commerce and industry to reduce pric-


es and reduce costs,” says Mr. Thorne,:


who asserted that railroad earnings

would stand a reduction, ﬁxing them

at the rate of more than $1,000,000.000

annually during the last few months;

that fewer miles of railroads were in

the hands of receivers. last year than

any year since 1912. The wage bill of

American railroads has been out $400,-

000,000 annually by the Labor Board

since 1920, while all the rate reduc-

tions allowed by the railroads in the

same time only cost them $186,000,000

in revenue. - '


-THE CONDENSED MILK MARKET.


HERE is little to give encourage-

ment to manufacturers of condens-

ed milk products as yet, as both the


export and the domestic markets are


showing little activity. If anything.

domestic demand is better than export

but that is only because export buying

is practically at a standstill. The

American relief has done no buying

of late.


The price trend on case condensed

is slightly downward. That is due.

without dobbt, to the decline of sugar

prices. Quotations on evaporated milk

have a wide range as a. result of the

anxiety of many manufacturers to dis-

pose of their product ‘even at very low

prices. All bulk goods are moving at

a little higher ﬁgure because produc.

tion of that class of goods is lighter

and manufacturers are not so eager to

sell. There is some export demand for

skim-milk powder.

Remarkable Experience of Mrs.

C.M. Bradshaw in Prevent-

ing White Diarrhea


The following letter will no doubt

be of utmost interest to poultry raisers

who have had serious losses from


Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.

Bradshaw tell of her experience in her

own words:


“Gentlemen: I see reports of so

many losing their little chicks with

White Diarrhea, so thought I would

tell my experience. I used to lose a.

great many from this cause, tried

many remedies and was about dis-

com-aged. As a last resort I sent to

the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 507,

Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White

Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c

packages, raised 300 White Wyando'ttes

and never lost one or had one sick

after giving the medicine, and my

chickens are larger and healthier than

ever before. I have found this com-

pany thoroughly reliable and always

get the remedy by return mail. w-Mrs.

C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa.”


Cause of White Diarrhea


White Diarrhea is caused by the

Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This

germ is transmitted to the baby chick

through 'the yolk of the newly hatched

egg. Readers are warned to beware

of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until

it kills half your chicks. Take the

“stitch in time that saves nine. Re-

member, there is scarcely a hatch

without some infected chicks. Don’t

let these few infect your entire flock.

Prevent it. Give Walko in all drinking

water for the ﬁrst two weeks and you

won’t lose one chick where you lost

hundreds before. , These letters prove it:


Never Lost a Single Chick


Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

Ind., writes. “I have lost my share of

chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally

I sent for two packages of Walko. I


a single chick from White Diarrhea.

Walko not only prevents White Diar-

rhea, but it gives the chicks strength

and vigor; they develop quicker and

feather earlier.’


Never Lost One After First Dose


Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, when but a few days old, be-


gan to die by the dozens with White

Diarrhea. I tried different remedies

and was about discouraged with the


Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa,

for a box of their Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing

for this terrible disease. We raised

700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never

lost a single chick after the first dose.”


You Run No Risk


We will send Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy entirely at

—postage prepaid—so you can see for

yourself what a wonder-working rem-

edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby

chicks. So you can prove—as thou‘a

sands have proven—that it will step

your losses and double, treble, even

quadruple your profits. Send 50c for

package of Walko— give it in all drink-

ing water for the first two weeks and

watch results. You’ll find you won’t

lose one chick where you lost hun-

dreds before. It’s a positive fact. We

guarantee it. The Leavitt & Johnson

National Bank, the oldest and strong-

est bank in Waterloo, Iowa, stands

back of this guarantee. You run no

risk. If you don’t ﬁnd it the greatest

little chick saver you ever used, your

money will be instantly refunded.

Insures the SatisfaCtory Operation


of Your Gilt Edge Furnace


Remember this in choosing your furnace: The heating

conditions of each home are different. Your neighbor’s

furnace, satisfactory in his home, might be an absolute fail-

ure in yours. No heater can “make good” if conditions are

against it. To heat properly, the furnace must ﬁt the home.


That fact, investigation shows, is generally overlooked

where heating troubles occur. A misﬁt furnace is-often at

the bottom of the trouble, although it may not be the entire

cause. How to properly 'heat your home is a problem

requiring a special study of the heating conditions of your

home. That’s where Gilt Edge Home Owner’s Heating

Service can be of invaluable help to you. '


The Gilt Edge Service Department


Within the large Gilt Edge ‘ organization is a well—equipped

Service Department which gives real help to home owners

and makes sure the right furnace for YOUR HOME will


be installed. .


All Gilt Edge dealers are familiar with this Service Depart-

ment. Many of them have called at our factory and

have seen just how our heating engineers work from

plans of the home and determine which furnace will

Operate most satisfactorily under. certain conditions.
