CURRENT COMMENT
THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

It is unfortunate that men will allow
“good enough” to keep them from the
best.

The day for working apart is pass-
ing and the time to edge in is here.

The best leaders seek character and
quality as well as numbers in their fol-
lowing.

‘ Perhaps the old Sioux Indian chief
was partly right when he said, “the
white man turn too much of the sod
wrong side up.”

Had Adam kept books and records
his gardening might not have proved
so perplexing to him.

Better start applauding the benefac-
tors of mankind that they may have a
“little show in the public mind with
the men who study to scar and cripple
thc race.

It is a mystery why the farmer will
carefully select pure-bred sires for his
herd but will sow any kind of seed
when the planting season arrives.

COMPARISON of

Statistics ed by the State Tax

Commission, with the
total tax figures for the preceding
year will be of interest to every tax-
payer. This comparison shows an in-
crease in every class‘of taxes save
one, and a very considerable increase
in most classes. Expressed in per-
centages the increase in the several
classes of taxes in 1921 over 1920 were
as follows: State tax, seventeen per
cent; county tax, fifteen per cent;
township tax. three per cent; school
tax, two per cent; highway tax, eight
per cent; county road tax, seventeen
per cent; city tax, twenty‘three per
cent; village tax, seventeen per cent;
rejected tax, eight per cent. The only
class of taxes in which there was a
decrease in 1921 as compared with
1920 was the drain tax, in which there
was a. decrease of seventeen per cent.
The percentage of increase in all tax.

erty in the state was increased three

of personal property decreased one-

an increase of nine per cent The tax

compared with ”$38. 29 in. 1920, an in-

tax levy, per capita was $12.71. In a.
decade the population of the state has
increased about one-fourth, while the
total of all taxes is about five times as
large as ten years ago.

These figures show the tendency to
increase public expenditures all along
the line from the township up, during
Much of this increase
has been unavoidable as 'the result of
increased costs during the war and
post war period; much of it has been
the ‘result of a general demand for
needed public improvements, many of

which have been secured through bond ’

issues which remain to be paid, to-

gether with heavy interest charges, by V

future taxation. It is undoubtedly im.
possible to again reduce taxes to the
level of ten years ago. But it is pos-
sible to stop the tremendous increase,
and it should be possible to deflate ad-
ministrative costs in some measure
commensurate with the general defla-
tion which has been felt by every tax.
payer.

But the only way in which this can
be accomplished is by general public
interest in the proposition. Every vot-
er should make it a point to be present
when the township appropriations .are
made at the annual township meeting
on Monday next. Every voter should
take an intelligent interest in the pri-
mary election at which candidates for
legislative officers are chosen. Good
business in all departments of local,
state and national government should
be made a general slogan to the end
that a halt may be called to the rapid
inelease in the rate of taxation, and
that value received may be returned
for tax money in the way og goods or
service all along the line.

In the final analysis the result ofi
such a contest must, in large measure,
be decided by public opinion. At least,
it is in the interest of public welfare
that the public should be in possession
of facts upon which to form an intel-
ligent opinion regarding the merits of

test. These facts should be clearly

Lately, however, there has come to
our attention a laudable use for the
product of the irreligious hen—the one
who, through inherent qualities or en-
vironment and care simply can. not
stop laying on Sunday. The' Baptists
in Iowa have asked the women of the
state to raise $75,000 by April 20 for use

least there are possibilities along this
line and it may offer a. suggestion to

means of filling the ever-present need
for money for both local and foreign

N a recent address

on the internation-

What 31 situation, Professor
of a" David Friday, who
Future? this week takes up

his active- duties as
president of the Michigan Agricultm a1
College, stated that in his opinion the
farmer is confronted with a situation
which challenges the most carefully
considered program.

It is his belief that the volume of
agricultural production is quite certain
to be maintained at or near its present
level. With European counties practi‘
cally bankrupt, it is apparent that real
problems are involved in the distribu-
tion of these products to the advantage
of the farmer. President Friday hopes
to bring the resources of the Agricul-
tural College to the aid of the farmers
and of consumers to the end that durv
ing these coming years the situation
may be handled more efficiently.

There would seem to be more hope
in the domestic market for farm prod-
ucts. Economists hold that low prices
for farm products and high prices for
manufactured products in this country
indicate an abnormal condition and
cannot last. In their study the year
1898 was used as a starting paint-and

Inithe population and production“ of both

farms . and. factories for. that year
. 'h 1 , ' "V'N‘x y,.

it Seems that even from, the”

One of these men is

meaning that there had been a. lump of

five per cent or twelve per cent as the

case may be. -

In 1903 the population stood at 108
the farm production at 105 and manu-
factured products’at 125. Four years
later the figures had advanced to 117
for,population, 112 for farm output,
and 156 for the manufacturers. From
then until 1911 both population and
agriculture continued to grow, while
manufacturing remained almost sta-
tionary with the Score standing at 125.
117 and 158 respectively for popula-

-tion, farm products and manufactured

goods. At the close of the war,» agri-
cultural production and population fig
ures were both badly outstripped by
the output of our factories. The figures
then read, population 139, agriculture
138, and manufactures 228.

From the above it appears that with
food production scarcely keeping pace
with our increase in' population and
with our supply of manufactured goods
running far ahead of both, then, ac-

cording to economists, farm priCes in ~

normal times ought to approach a level
more closely approximating that main-
tained by manufactured articles. This
was true in the first decade of the cen-
tuly, and economists contend that it
will hold true again when normal con-
ditions obtain.

We simply hope that the weather
vanes on the barns of these seventh
sons are in good working order.

HE Crapo farm in GeneSee coun-
ty, twelve miles west of Flint,
_ affords a unique distinction for
Michigan by maintaining the Oldest

I strain of Hereford cattle in the United

States. The original Herefords on the
farm were purchased by Michigan’s

 

picked Jerseys and then Holsteins and
finally “ settled on Herefords._ Before
he died he made it a vital point in his
will that his heirs should carry out
the-work he had started on the farm
and continue the Hereford strain. The
farm is now in the possession of S! T

The Herefords on this Farm Show Direct Line Breeding from the Animals

Imported in

war-time governor, H. H. Crapo. He
placed a herd sire and three cows on
the farm in 1867 and the herds of the
farm today are directly descended
from these animals. The records of
the American Hereford Registration

'Society show this to be the oldest line

of this breed in the United States.
Governor Crapo purchased the 2,200
acres that' comprise the Crapo farm
back in 1860. At that time he was
preaching the value of swamp lands
to all the farmers in Michigan. It was
his contention that low lands, prop-
erly drained, would become extremely‘
valuable in time and would constitute,
as a grazing and breeding ground for
herds, one of the highest financial as-
sets of the state. His arguments were
circulated on handbills, some of which
may still be seen‘atahe Crapo farm.
And backing up his stand the governOr
purchased the Crapo farm and used
his purchase to good advantage in in-
ducing other farmersto follow out his
idea. He immediately built a home-
stead and began the drainage work
which has since made‘his farms one of;
the finest‘cattle ranches in, the state.

Crapo, millionaire rail chief, and is
under the direct supervision of his
son, William W. Crapo.

‘In the furtherance of the governor’s
wishes, W. W. Crapo made a purchase
at the International Live Stock Show
at Chicago which gave Michigan a fine
breed sire. He bought Hazford Bo-
caldo III. This-animal, two years ago,

" was first in his class at the Interna-

tional as a calf. He was national
champion at the Kansas National Live
Stock Exposition in 1921 and at the
1921 International he was fourth,
standing one below the great sire own-
ed by Governor McCray, of Indiana,
which animal he outplaced a month
previous at the Royal at St. Louis. In
reference to Mr. Crapo’s purchase the
American Hereford Journal said:

“The state of Michigan got a great
show and .breeding bull in Hazford
Bocaldo III, purchased by W. W. Cra-
po, of Swartz Creek. This was the
bargain of the sale at $2,000.”

Cattle raising at the Crapo farm has
been placed on 'a strictly business
basis. Perfect. records for checking
up every performance and every tran-
saction are k’ept the same as in any
successful and properly developed in-

dustry. Economical measures are in
evidence in all the branches of the
work and expenditures are made in
accordance with the income. It is the
belief of the 'Crapo’s that a sound bus-
inesspolicy is the real need of Amer-
ican farmers and that farming will
never come in for its full recognition
from industrial and financial men un-

. til the disposition of the farmer is to.

systematize and operate on a similar
basis to that followed by industrial
and financial leaders.

The cows on the Crapo farm are
keptvin good condition on inexpensive
feeds. It has been the Crapo policy
to feed little or no grain. Their ra-
tion generally consists of hay, straw,
cornstalks and silage. ’ On this diet
the cows keep in trim shape and add a
square little calf to the herd each year
in April.

The steers have recently come into
considerable prominence in Genesee
county through extensive purchases
made by the markets in Flint. Numer-
ous cattle have been fattened after the
Earliripe plan and have commanded
high prices. For many years the urg-
ent demand in the west for registered
cattle has taken the surplus from the
farms before it has scalcely been
weaned, the heifers f01ming the foun-
dation of new herds and the bull calves
becoming herd leaders. But, in these
times, the‘westerners seem to be un-

,able to pay the prices that would make

have also discouraged the trading with
distant customers. And because of
these fibts the markets in Michigan

have been particularly susceptible to

Michigan-raised pure~breds. Follow-
ing this system the Crapo farm has

undertaken the production of steers for _ 1

beef and the results have been satis-
factory.

Cleanliness of quarters and stables
is one of the keywords at the Crapo
farm. John F. Miller is the superin-
tendent, a- Swartz Creek banker and
one of the best-known cattle men in
Genesee county. Operating with W.
W. Crapo he has kept the farm up to
a high point of efficiency during the
past few years and has made it a
much-talked—of place. Crapo’s rules
call for a gentle handling of all stock,
and decent consideration. Most of the
work at the farm is carried on by full-
blood Indians, descendants of chiefs,
.most of them, who were placed on the
farm during the administration of
Governor Crapo.

The Crapo farm is quite a show
place. The old homestead of the gov-
ernor attracts many visitors and the
great herds of Herefords are the sub-
ject of much interested attention. The
methods used on the farm, both in

business operation and in the hand-
ling of the stock, have been introduced
only after careful study and observa-
tion.

Limestone—with your County Agent advising you to
use it—with your own Agricultural College and every

FOR A POTATO TARIFF.

 

HERE is an interesting story told

in relation to the potato tarifl.
Senators Fernald and Hale, of Maine,
appeared before the senate finance
committee on St. Patrick’s Day and
asked for a tariff of thirty-five cents
a bushel on potatoes. Their appeal
was at first taken as a joke, but it de-
veloped into a serious plea for a tariff
that Would adequately protect the
United States potato grower from his
Canadian competitors.

After ,the appeals have been made,
Senator Watson said: “Senator Fer—
nald; we were much impressed by your
arguments, but we understand that on
have a fine voice, and if you will favor
us with a song, say. ‘Throw Out the
Lifeline,’ it may aid your case.”

Senator Fernald, willing to comply
with this request, sang the hymn as
requested. The senators applauded vig-
orously and by request the Maine
statesman sang, “Lead Kindly Light.”

At the close of this song service,

 

 

gncuhu rail"

Senator. Watson, Speaking for the com-1 _
- mittee, announced that “the duty on

Irish potatoes will be thir-ty five cents
per bushel. There is no denying such
an appeal.” Thus a Maine senatorial

Garuso had more influence in shaping.

a- scientifictariff than all the delega-
tions of practical' potato growers and
their organization representatives.~ '

THE TARIFF BILL.

 

HE senate finance committee is'

making a strenuous effort to have
the permanent tariff bill ready to re-
port out at an early date. It has been
delayed by failure. of the committee to
agree on the proposed dye embargo
and the sugar tariff. The sugar rates
in the Fordney bill on the basis of
$1.60 a hundred pounds for Cuban raw,
after a long discussion, was approved
by the majority members of thevcorn-
niittee.

"It is asserted by some farm organ-
ization leaders who have kept in close
touch with the situation that the man-
ufacturers are demanding a tariff
which will amount to an embargo on
manufactured commodities, and that a
strongly organized attempt has been
made to force down the tariff on farm
products, which they are insistent in
classing as raw materials, as low as
possible. -The dairy interests have
made a strong fight to secure effective

_protection against oriental vegetable

oils. With the united support of the
live stock interests, the peanut plant—
ers and the producers cf soybeans,
and other interests that are being af-

fected by the flood of imported oils,

it is believed that this protection would
have been secured. ‘ But the soap and
allied interests have been able to de-
feat most of the demands of the dairy
people. (See page 417).

' HILE the situation of American

agriculture is. serious it is by
- _, no means hopeless. Much has

k been said and Written concerning the
.. causes of this situation but the, chief

concern of the average farmer is how
to manage his business this year so
as to be able to come out with a whole
hide at least. , . ’ ,
These trying times are furnishing
the stimulant which urges the farmer
to make a close scrutiny of his busi-
ness and challenge the reason for al-
most every practice. he is following.
These result .of these observations

.have caused many a seasoned farmer

to sit up and take notice. He has de-
cidedto make some changes. In order
to best analyze the present situation
let us consider how the various farm
products are standing the storm.

The purchasing power of farm prod-
ucts has increased but little during
the year. A bushel of' corn will buy

'only one-half as many things as it

would in 1913. Oats stand very little

If we can not

makeuse of them in securing better
crop yields. This is‘ one way, provid-

ing 'crops have been put in and cared

fer properly, to make our acres bring
more profits without additional labor.
There is no use farming 120 acres
when, by proven' methods, it is possi-
ble to secure as many bushels of bet-
ter quality products from eighty acres.
Some Dairy Farmers Make Money;
Others Not. ‘
“Records secured last year by the
Farm Management Department of the
Michigan Agricultural College show
that in Wayne county in‘ the face of

’ adversity a dairy farmer with an in-

vestment of $24,000 and a dairy herd
that averaged 10,400 pounds of milk
per cow made above all expenses eight
and a half, per cent on his invested
capital. A neighbor with a herd that

produced only 6,000 pounds of milk‘

better in this respect. Wheat has not
regained the full purchasing power-it
had during the five-year pre-war pe-
riod. The purchasing power of pota-
toes, wool, hogs and steers remain
about the same as in the pre-war pe-
riod, while sheep, dairy products, and
poultry products have a somewhat
greater purchasing power than they
then had. -

While it does not ‘Seem that we”

should contemplate as yet any radi-
cal changes in our farm management
program, the present situation has
brought out the fact‘ that farmers who

. will make any'money during the years

ahead must cut out all possible waste
and increase the production of every
unit where such an increase can be
made. There are several ways in
which such increases in production can

, be secured with no additional labor.

Among them are the use of better
improving the production of
the dairy herd by getting rid of the
unprofitable cow; the use of 'more
legumes and especially alfalfa in the
rotations; the culling out of the slack-
,er hen from the flock and better mar-
keting methods. '

“There is reason to believe that the
whole western world has drifted to-
ward a shortage of animals. This is a
matter which will be more evident
five years hence. ~ With grain produc-
.tion and prices as they stand in rela-
tion to live stock it would seem 'good
policy to slowly increase the number
of hogs, beef cattle, sheep and horses,

The farmer who wants to keep the
old homestead free from debt and lay
by a little for a rainy day, will beready
to fall in line with‘the best agricultur-
al practices, as found by experiment
by our agricultural colleges and prov-
en ‘out by our progressive farmers.

Farm seeds adapted to our various
farm needs have been tested and prov-

e‘n out by our various experiment sta-

per cow made. above expenses only
two and one-half per cent‘ on a $25,000
investment. Not every dairy cow in
Michigan produces even 6,000 pounds
of milk. The same principle applies
to poultry culling, seed selection and
rotations with alfalfa.”

Time spent in getting neighbors in-
terested in a cow-testing association
may bring big financial returns. Your
county agent will help in this work.
There is nothing like a cow-testing as-
sociation to get men
what their cows are doing and in lo-
cating the coWs they do not want. The
feed wasted each year on slacker cows
make out net incomes look sick.

The importance of producing more
legumes, and especially alfalfa, is be-
coming apparent. Our progressive
farmers are proving the wisdom of
this advice.

Watch the Chicken Roost.

Recent statistics are proving that
poultry well cared for and properly
culled has made more profit than any-
thing else on the farm. The poultry
house should be up-to—date, having the
proper ventilation. Here are just a
few pointers in culling out the farm
flock: Keep the late moulters. They
moult quickly and get back on the job
before the early moulters do, as they
have more vitality. Pick out the hen
with the clean-cut head, without sur-
plus flesh about the skull and jaw, the
one with the eye that stands out like
a shoe button. -The confermation of
the head reflects internal conditions.
With a neat, refined head ‘we expect
to'flnd a deep body and a mellow egg
sack which gives good capacity with-
out surplus fat. Again call in your
county agent. He is usually a past-
master at nailing the cull hen.

'Last, but not least, the way to make
your local‘co-op worth while to you is
to ‘.‘co-0p.” There has been a lot writ-
ten and said on the subject, of cooper-
ation recently, but the only way the
average farmer is, to get anywhere

with his. marketingis to cooperate and

We knew of no law requiringa 1i-

MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSESS-

Would you please advise me in re-
gard to my insurance. The company
quit business and turned it over to an-
other company. The first few years
they were real reasonable in price, but
last year they raised it to $1.25 per
hundred and this year to $1.65 per
hundred. Are we obliged to pay at
that rate? We are willing to pay at a
reasonable price, but this is too high.

STORAGE CHARGES FOR HAY.

 

I rented a farm last March, 1921.
The owner had the west mow in the
barn full of hay. He sold thehay to
another party and the party was sup-
posed to have the hay out by the first
of July. The hay is still here and
part of my corn had to stand out all
winter because I had no room in the
barn for it. How. much storage can
I charge for the use of the mow from
July on?———C. H.

There being no contract, the amount
of the storage charges is merely what
the storage is reasonably worth, which
is a question of fact with no other rule
to determine it. If tried before a jury
the question would be merely what is
the storage worth considering all the
facts, the necessities of the defendant
and the inconvenience to the plaintiff.

sume that it extends to a point below

that it goes down to solid bottom. If-
this foundation rests on solid bottom
below the frost line and has a twelve»
inch concrete wall six feet high on
top, which was built of reasonably
good material, it would be substantial
enough to hold any type of frame
structure which you might wish to
.build as a house, and assuming that

,the base of this wall is eighteen inches

or more in width it would appear to be
safe for sustaining the weight of a
tile block wall. However, in construc-

GAS PLANT RESIDUE AS LIME
SUBSTITUTE.

 

Can you give me any information as
to whether or not the residue from an
acetylene gas generating plant has
any value as applied to soils? I am
intending to apply lime to one of my
fields and there is a large supply of
the above material near by. It is used
extensively here as whitewash and
produces the same sensation in a per-
son’s eye as is produced by fresh
lime.~—J. E. T.’ ‘ .

Acetylene gas is produced by the
chemical reaction of water and calci-
um carbide. The residue is composed
largely of calcium hydrate or hydrated
lime. If this is taken directly from the
acetylene‘p'lant and applied to land to
correct sourness or soil acidity there
is danger of harmful results from the
gases contained in the mixture. How-
ever, if the material is left exposed to
air for a time before using this danger

- will be removed. This same exposure

will convert quite a little of the hyd-
rate to carbonate by air-slaking. Car-
bonate of lime is an excellent form to
use for'correcting soil acidity, being
of the same chemical composition as
limestone and marl.~—A. H. J.

PRIMARY SCHOOL.

 

Cana director of a school district
sell wood or anything else to the
school of which he is a director? Can
a teacher ref-use to teach scholars who
are under seven years old ?——~J. R. G.

Compiled Laws of 1915, Section 5671,
contains the following provision: “It
shall be illegal for any member of the‘
district board to perform any labor
except as provided in this act or fur-
nish any material or supplies for the
school district in which he is an offi-
cer, and he\ shall not" be personally in-
terested in any manner whatever, di‘
rectly or indirectly, in any contract
with the district in which he holds
office. Any act herein prohibited if
performed by any such school officer,
shall be deemed a misdemeanor and
he shall be liable to the punishment
provided for such offense in accord-
ance with the statute in such cases
made' and provided.”

Section 5685 provides, “all persons
resident . of any school district and
five years of age shall have an equal
right to attend any school therein.”
But the preceding section provides
that the‘ school board may authorize
the suspension .or. expulsion from
school of any pupil whenever in its
judgment the interest of the school
demands it by reason of persistent dis-
obedience or misbehavior of the pupil.
Another section provides that pupils

Pedigree is the hest strain. On the

TWO-Row slightly ,ou-tyi'elded the Wis-
The acreage of this
variety, though yet small, is increas-
ing. The Michigan Black Barbiess, a
smooth bearded barley, is proving
quite popular with those who find .bar—
ley beards bothersome in handling and
feeding. The beardless, hulless barley
is being grown to some extent in Mon-
roerLenawee and- several other south-
ern Michigan counties, but good yields
are apparently not secured in central
and northern Michigan.

Barley is particularly valuable as a
feed’crop in southern Michigan where
an early grain feed is, desired for sum-
mer and early fall hog feed and in
northern localities where corn does
not ripen safely for grain.

Barley is usually planted at the rate
of six peeks per acre if plantings are
made early, and two bushels ‘if plant-
ings are made late in the season. This

 

/ seed should be treated with formalde-

hyde, using one pint to thirty gallons
of water to control not only the cov-'
ered smut of barley, but the barley
stripe, a fungus diseaSe which is in-
creasing rapidly in Michigan. ' Barley
takes somewhat less moisture from the
soils per pound of dry matter than
oats, and isharvested somewhat ear-
ly; 'hence this crop is highly esteemed
as a companion crop for alfalfa and
clover.
Plant Spring Wheat Early.

Spring wheat which gained so rapid-
ly during the war years is apparently
making almost as rapid a decline in
acreage. The past two seasons have
been particularly unfavorable to spring
Wheat. This crop is best adapted to
moisture-holding'soils in the Thumb,
central and northern Michigan, but
even ‘in'these regions does not yield as
dependably as oats or barley, or give
as big a yield as winter wheat. The
Marquis variety, or the Blue Ribbon,
give the best yield. Six pecks per
acre is the usual planting and a spe-
cial effort should be made to plant at

. an early date.

Very little spring rye is plante'd in
Michigan, owing to the unsatisfactory
yield secured as compared to other
spring-planted grains or to winter rye.

Fitting Seed-beds for Spring Grain.

Oats, barley, and spring Wheat start
best on firm, well-surfaced seed-beds.

. Clean corn, bean, beet and potato land

can usually be put into excellent shape
by thorough discing and harrowing
and rolling with weighted roller or
with cultipacker. This latter imple-
ment is increasing rapidly in use .in
Michigan and is a great improvement

. over the ordinary roller and harrow in

"fitting seed- beds most eificiently. Ex-
ceptionally heavy seils are benefited
by plowing for. cats and. b rley. Sod
lands and very weedyla s._to be
planted to spring g grains ust, of
course, be plowed.“ Plow to‘a medium
depth" and follow ‘with the roller and
harrow to secure a firmly compacted
and .well surfaced seed~bed. Seed
should.be planted to a depth of one to
one and one-half inches.
Fertilizing Spring Grains.
Oats, barley and spring wheat are
all benefited by applications 'of fertiliz-
er high in phosphorus. From two hun-
dred to three hundred pounds of acid
phosphate on average soils will give

per bushel and will produce an earlier
and a more uniformly maturing .Crop.
On soils depleted. in fertility a like
amount of a complete fertilizer such
as a 2-10-2 or 2- 10- 4, or of ammoniated
phosphate should be used. Manure is
usually applied on sod land in prepar-
ation for corn, beans, beets or. pota-
toes, but on soils deficient in organic
matter, a dressing of four or five tons
per acre worked in when fitting the
seed-bed will increase the .yields of
spring grain. On soils of good fertil-
ity applications of manure on cats or
barley will often cause lodging.

The climate of Michigan and large
areas of its soils, fertile loams, clay
loams and silt loams in particular—
are especially suited to oats and bar-
ley. As compared to other states high
yields and excellent quality are secur-
ed in Michigan. There is, however,
ample opportunity for great improve-
In all localities certain indlvid-
ual farmers annually get yields twice
as large or more than the average
yield of their community. The" varie-

ied and adapted by less successful
neighbors. The fixed costs, such as
interest on investment, preparation of
land, seed, harvest, etc., are much the
same whether a thirty-five or seventy
bushel crop is harvested. The returns
from average yields are very near the
cost of production. “Above the aver-
age yield, therein lies the profit.”

' GAIN the time rolls around When
'- we consider the hired help prob—
lem. It is ’not so serious. this
year, however, Ias ‘for the past few
years, when most all men who worked '
for wages could do so muCh better in
the city. With only eight hours for
work and 'eight hours for play, and
lots of money to 'spend, who could
blame them if they did all go to the.
city. But times‘ have changed, radi?
cally changed, and the position to
great numbers of those new city~mind~
' ‘ ed workers has
changed quickly,
'from that of afflu-
ence to adversity.
A n d w h e n the
problem of get-
‘ting 'enough to eat
a n d w e a r be-
comes acute, the
c o u n t r y looks
pretty good.

These country-
bred folks who
know the farming game, and who, at-
tracted to the city by the high wages,
have become gorged with the adverse

 

' conditions recently prevailing, and are

anxious. to get back to the country and
to work, are more than welcome. The
wages are not high, but a living is as»
sured and the tired nerves will “have
a chance to recuperate. It is one of
these country minded, city wearied
men, with whom we have arranged to
help with the work on Francisco Farm.
He brings a wife and two wee boys,
and a keen appreciation of good live
stock. Here’s hoping the venture
proves satisfactory to all concerned.
We have hired a goodly number of
men in our experience on Francisco
Farm, but it has been some time since
we have taken on a new one. The last
regular employe was with us for five
years and the past year a. brother has
done the work for a share. He is mov-
ing with his force onto a larger farm
this spring, and hired help again be-
comes on'e' of our problems. I presume

. in our experience we have employed as

single men. Both have their advan-
tages, but we prefer the married men

ed man as Well as any other man. But

'.it is a great satisfaction to have the

help handy, and always on the job,
without inconvenience to the farm fam-
ily. Goodness knows the housewife
has enough to do bn the average farm
without looking after the physical
wants-of more than her own. And our
philosophy of life is to get all the joy
and comfort and satisfaction we can
from day to day. ~‘
Married men are hiring out for $30
to $40 per month in these parts this
spring, with house, garden, a little

milk, and perhaps a couple of hundred,

pounds of pork furnished. Single men
$20 to 30, board and washing.

When I went out to the barn the
other morning » and looked over the
brood sows in their big roomy boxes,
Miss Wonder, the mother of our. sale
tops, was working like a trooper. She
had just been confined a couple of
days before in a clean sunny box, ten
by twelve feet, in the far corner of the
big basement. 'I gave her three or
four more big'forkfuls of dry wheat
straw, fondled her a little, brushed her
all over and told her to do her “dernd-
est.” She worked with a will, gather-
ing a mouthful here and depositing it
there, pawing it over vigorously, try-
ing it out, then rooting it all up and
doing it all over again. She acted for
all the world like a country housewife
getting ready for company, the farm~
ers’ club or something of that sort.
She was surely putting her house in
order and well did she know what she
was about, for 10, the next morning a.
nest full of long, strong, black, shiny
babies were tugging away at the foun-
tain of life, with the energy and en-
thusiasm of a bunch of hungry boys at
a picnic dinner. ‘

The farrowing Season is now in full
swing, the first sow to report, the mid-

dle of March, tallied the bakers’ doz‘-

en. Too thick 3 stand for ‘best results,
several of them were too small and
weak to make a live of it, and only
five of them remain. (A friend says,
“Oh, I got you beat, one of my sows
had two and saved them all).” “My
De ight” has again proved her name
by delivering a litter of nine nice ones,
and two others expect to begin nest
building most any time. The weather
is typical of March, about the roughest
of the year just now, but the big base-
ment is immune to northwesters, So
the little fellows are safe and happy.

Sowmg Seeds 1n Hot eds
' ByR. E. 1.”me A c.

HEN using the manure- heated 3

hot-bed for growing the early
plants, no seed should be sown
for several days after the manure has
been placed in the bed. If a good
grade of manure‘has been used the
bed will heat very violently at first
and, it is not safe to sow seeds in the
soil until this initial heating is over.
It is a good plan to plunge a ther-
mometer through the soil into the ma.-
nure and as soon as the temperature
has fallen to about eighty or eighty-
five degrees Fahrenheit the bed is
ready to plant.
The soil of the bed should be loos-

.ened and made as nearly level as pos-

sible. For growing lettuce or radishes

, to maturity, the seed should be planted
directly in the soil of the bed. They

should be sown rather thinly in rows
about four to six inches apart. This
will. allow of thinning the seedlings
and stirring the soil when necessary.

If the plants are to be grown for
early transplanting, they may be start-
ed in the soil of the hotvbed, but it is
better' to start them in shallow boxes

5 or flats. Flats slightly less than twelve
hinches wide and eighteen, inches long
Ioutside measure, and about two and
one-half inches deep,
; convenient to handle and they will fit
into the frames without leaving any
; waste space.
the seedlings can be taken to a warm
3 place when they are ready for shifting
: and the work can be done more easily
, than when bending. over'the frame of
.5 the bed. The flats can also be shifted

will be found

When the flats are used,

from one part of the frame to another

‘ and whenever necessary they can eas-~

ily be transferred to cold frames

'where the plants are3to be hardened
3 in preparation for transplanting to the
, garden or field.

Some kinds of plants, such as inel-

.ons and cucumbers, do not transplant

readily, but if the seeds are planted
in soil placed in some receptacle so
that the plants can be transferred to
the garden without disturbing the
roots, much earlier crops can be se-
cured. Commercial gardeners use ispe—
cial dirt ~ba-n'd5‘ extensively for this
purpose. 031d berry boxes, clay or pa-
per pots, squares of inverted sods, 01
tin cans with the tops and bottoms
melted off are also used.

. A good soilfor startmg seeds and
plants is made by composting sods
and stable manure, but if a. compost
heap is not aVailable, a satisfactory
soil maybe made by mixing together
one part ‘of well-rotted manure, two
parts of good garden loamor rotted
sods, and one part sand. These must'
be thoroughly mixed together by shov-
eling, after which the soil should be
sifted through a screen before‘placing
it in the flats or hands in which the
seeds are to be sown.

The date of starting seeds in the
hot-bed is governed by the date that
the plants can'be set in the open
ground. Cabbage, cauliflower and let-
tuce are cool season crops‘and the
plants may be set outas early in the
season as the soil can be worked in
good condition, but it is not safe to
set out tomatoes, melons and other
warm season crops untilthe soil is
warm and all danger of frost is over.
This is usually about May 20 in south-
ern Michigan. As a 'rule, cabbage,~
cauliflower and lettuce may be started
about six weeks before the plants will
be needed for settingin the garden or
field; tomatoes and peppers eight
weeks; egg plant, celery and onions
about t'en weeks; melons and cucum-
bers, four to six weeks.

Michigan Fruit Farm Notes

ByL. B. Rrérr

HE Michigan Farmer says, “Re—

member, fertile fields are net

made in a day,” and it sure says
a mouthful. I have been four years
building up part of my place so that
pig weeds will grow among the culti-
vated crops. No doubt many farmers
consider pig weeds a nuisance but we
Chortle with glee on our farm when a.
field begins to grow them. How come
that pig weeds. always come in wher-
ever you spread manure, although
there had not been a pig weed there
for years?

1 notice that many people write in
about sick hens. I have some local
1ep'utation as a successful chicken man
and I plumb hate to confess, but I got
mine the same way last fall. Every
hen and rooster in the flock had the
same symptoms—eyes swelled shut,
watery discharge from eyes and nose,
black spots on combs and cankered
sores on tongue and in throat. I killed
one, two died and I saved the others;
here is what I did. I mixed. kerosene
and lard about half-and-half in a tin
can. Each bird was caught, a feather
pulled from the wing and dipped in the
mixture. With the feather, I swabbed
out the mouth, running the feather
down the throat, and swabbed the head
eyes and all, thoroughly. No doubt it
hurt their eyes as they-wiggled same.
This had to be repeated in severe cas-
es. Results, I saved the flock and they
completely recovered. At present they
are breaking their own record in egg
production; we have eaten several of
the young roosters and the bodies

The fruit value in Berriencounty for
1920 was $6,272,500. One shipping

not include the thousands of cases of
berries shipped earlier. ‘Berrien pro-

clogging the nozzles. This makes each pound cover
more foliage. When dry, Pyrox sticks like paint, in
spite of heaviest rains. For this reason alone, you

ENATOR CHARLES E. TOWN-
SEND, Michigan’s Senior United
. States Senator; who will complete
his second term in the United States
Senate on March 4, 1923, is chairman
of the Senate Committee on Post Of-
fices and Post Roads, one. of the very
important committees of the senate.
He is also ranking member of the
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
and owing‘to the long and serious ill-
ness of Senator Cummins, the chair-
~man of this committee, Senator Town-
send for nearly eight months acted as
chairman of this committee. and dur-
Ing‘that time put through the railroad
partial payment bill, held hearings on
the pending funding bill, and other
extended hearings relative to railroad
matters. During his first term in con-
gress_ he sprang into national promi-
nence through the passage of his bill
thmugh the house of representatives
amending the interstate commerce
law prohibiting rebates, passes, etc.
While he was in the house he had
charge of President Roosevelt’s poli-
cies on railroad matters. He saved to
the state of Michigan one item alone
more than $90,000 in interest claimed
by the government from the state On
the St. Mary’s Canal proposition. He
is also a member 05 the Committee on
Pensions and Committee on Printing.
Senator Townsend is also'author of
the national highway bill for which he
has been fighting, the past three years,
and on November 9; 1921, it was sign-

' ed by President Harding, releasing for

federalsaid roads the sum of seventy-
five million dollars, which amount will
go far towards relieving the unem-

ployment situation now confronting

Senator Townsend introduced and
gsecured passage of a resolution au-
lthorizing the President to enter into
agreement with Canada and Great
Britain for joint construction of a wa-
terway for ocean-going vessels from
the Great .Lakes to the Atlantic, via
the Welland Canal and the St. Law-
rence River. The Great Lakes-St. Law-
rence Tidewater Association in the
council of states at a meeting of the
Tidewater Congress at Detroit, Mich-
igan, July 22, 1920, said:

“Senator Townsend has been called
the Father of the Lakes-to-Ocean Un~
dertaking. he was first in this gener-
ation to initiate proposals for the de-
velopment of this mute and he has
been steadfast and powerful in its ad-
vocacy. His addless before the Gleat
Lakes-St.Law1ence Tidewater Con-
gress was one of the convincing pre-
senations of this project at that nota-
ble gathering. He did not outline an
economic argumentehe gave vivid ut‘
terance to the American spirit of en‘
terprise and international comity.”

If this great project can be carried
through—as it will be some day—it
means more to the agricultural and in-
dustrial development 'Of Michigan
than can be measured in words.

From the beginning of the World's
.V’Var and up to the present time—it is
undoubtedly true that no man in the
United States Senate has interested
himself in more cases for transfer, pro-
motion, discharge,’ allotment and al-
lowances... insurance or compensation
for the ex-Service boys than has Sen-
ator Townsend. The boys of Michigan
all know this and appreciate it at}
coxdingly.

He has prepared, introduced and se-
cured the passage of many private
pension bills fOl the soldiers of the
Civil War, and has aided thousands of
Michigan’s old G. A. R. men in expedit-
ing their'claims at the Pension Bu-
reau. Their appreciation of his ef-
forts has been voiced in many kindly
letters received from the various posts
scattered throughout the state.

ceived from the post office clerks, post
masters, ‘eity and rural carriers, not
only from Michigan but from all over
the United 'States expressing their
deep appreciation for the interest
shown, time consumed and the hard,
effective work done by Senator Town-
send for resolutions introduced and
agreed to, for amendments to the post
a1 laws for the betterment of postal
service and conditions, for bills drawn
up and passed, all tending to increase
efficiency, living wages and better feel-
ing. Many resolutions adopted at con-
ventions, national and state associa-
tions have been received by SenatOI
Townsend for his good work fol the
post office boys.‘

Senator Townsen‘d entered the
house of repreSentatives at the begin-
ning of the fifty-eighthcongress, on
March ‘4. 1903, as'representative from
the Second District of Michigan. Dur-
ing the time he served in the house
and senate he has delivered about one
hundred speeches and entered into
many debates upon the floor of the two
houses whenever a subject was up that

.vitally concerned the proper consider-

ation of state or national legislation.

His provision appropriating $10,000
for the investigation of the production
of American sugar beet seed is long
since a statute, and instead of buying
seed abroad as all heretofore has been
bought, it will be and has been pro-
duced in the United States.

During Senator Townsend’s career 'in
the two houses he has voted and spok-
en in favor of the following bills and
amendments which are now in force:

Providing for the direct election of
United States Senators.

Constitutional amendment permit-
ting the taxation of incomes.

The Children’s Bureau Bill.

The VVorkman’s Compensation Bill.

Woman’s suffrage amend to the Con-
stitution.

He was a member of the committee
which framed the child labor law.

He has repeatedly appeared before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and plead for the interests of the ship-
pers and chambers of commerce in his
his home state.

He has voted and spoken for scores
of amendments in the interest of econ-
omy.

He voted in favor of the recent anti-
medical beer bill. '

He introduced a Iesolution on Sep-
tember 26, 1921, to amend the standing
Iules of the senate, by what is known
as “The Cloture Rule” to expedite bus-
iness‘ of the senate, but owing to the
necessity of a two-thirds vote was
unable to bring about its favorable con-
sideration.

He has also spoken for, and aided in
enacting into law the following bills,

all of which we of diIect benefit to the'

agiicultmal interests of the country:

The Cooperative Marketing Law.

During my three years’ stay in Wash-
ington I have come to regard Senator
Townsend as one‘of the most able, in-
fluential and useful members of the
senate. ‘He is no novice as a~legis~
later. He is one of the hardest and
most conscientious workers in the sen-
ate. Senator Townsend is a persua-
sive and powerful debater, and has
learned the art of confining his crater-
ical efforts to matters directly before
the senate and consumes none of the
time of his colleaguesand no space in
thecongressional record with useless
speeches. He is so earnest in his ef-
forts toiha‘Ve the senate confine its

attention to matters immediately be:

fore it that it has become almos a pas-
sion with him.

Senator Townsend understands thor-
oughly the needs of the agricultural
sections of the country and has given

’ valuable support to the various meas-

ures designed to restore agricultural
prosperity. Honest, courageous/ and
able, his influence has increased with
the length of his service until he is
recognized-as one of the leaders on
the republican side of the chamber.
His career has justified the confidence
the people of Michigan have repeatedly
shown in him.—ARTHUR CAPPER.

DOES IT GET COLD IN UPPER
"MICHIGAN?

HE annual summary of weather
conditions in Michigan has recent-
ly appeared from the Lansing office of

the United States Weather Bureau.‘

For those who think that the people
of the upper peninsula suffer. from

.very great cold in the winter season,

it may be of interest to call attention
to some of the thermometer readings
under the heading of lowest tempera-
tures for the year 1921. From this
table it appears that the lowest tem-
perature'in Marquette was 3; for Me-
nominee, 8; for Sault Ste Marie, 10;
Escanaba, 5; Houghton, 10; Munising,
16; Mackinac Island, 4. These points
are located on the lake shore, but at
widely separated points. In the inte-
rior lower temperatures were. eXperi-
enced: ”At Iron River, 25; at Iron
Mountain, 15; at Ironwood, 17; Ish-
peming, 15; Newberry, 9. We may
compare these figures with lower pe-
pinsula points, and get such results
as these: At Mt. Pleasant, the lowest

‘: temperature was 5; at Howard City,

5; Big Rapids, 2; Lansing, 3; Detroit.
393 at Saginaw, 4; Grand Rapids, 8

THE ANNUAL BEARING ORCHARD.

NCE in a while we read arguments

against the planting of more fruit.
trees, which are based on the fear
that there will be an over-production
of the standard fruits. A study of ag-
ricultural conditions cannot bu lead to
the opposite conclusion. Go Where you
may in regions adapted to the produc-
tion of apples and peaches especially,
and you will find a large number of
bearing orchards falling rapidly into
decay and thousands of young trees
dying from neglect and the want of

   
  

 

proper care.

The last census states that from?
1909 to 1919 there was a decrease of:
36,057,811, or 23.8 per cent of the total
number of apple trees of bearing age.

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
   
   
  
    
    
   
 
   
    
   
  
     
  
   
   
   
   
 
  
     
  
    
   
  
   
   
    
  
   
   
  
    
  
 

29,620,244, or forty-five per cent of the
total. In the case of peaches there)
was a decrease of 30.5 per cent iné
trees of bearing age, and of 48.8 per}
cent in non-bearing trees.

to general neglect, failure to protect
trees against San Jose scale and the:
ravages of other insects, fungus dis-
eases, the attacks of small animals
and stai‘vation.,Then there is the ques-
tion of proper feeding. It is doubtful
if farmers and fruit growers, gener?
ally, understand just what the feeding,
requirements of the fruit trees a1e.In;
making tiees, foliage and fiuit, an ap i
ple orchard, in twenty years will ex-!
tract as much plant food from the!
soil as will twenty avelage crops of;
wheat. Few farmers would .attempt
to raise twenty successive crops of!
wheat on the same land' without em-:
ploying rotations and animal manuies,

green manuies, or commercial fe1tiliz-.
ers. Yet the average orchard must
make good unaided or pass into the
discard. Young trees are often set out
in sod and then left to shift for them-
selves. _ Few ofthem ever live to reach
the bearing age.

No other crop responds so quickly
or so perceptibly to care, and espe-
cially to fertilization as does an or-
chard. Several of the experiment sta-
tions have been able to determine that
fruit bud formation can be definitely
increased by an application of quickly
available nitrogen at the propel time
in the spring. Our leading 1101 ticultur-

- ists discountenance the theory of bien-
nial bearing and hold that an Oichaid
which is properly 1‘ed can and will
bear annually.

The definite trend toward decreased
acreage in fruit calls for larger plant-
ings of our leading fruits and better
care and management of these plant-

. ings.—-—W. D. HURD.

Patrick. McDoogle says that aside

_ from the religious significance, it don’t
pay to do any more work on Sunday
than you have to. He found that Sun-
'Wtday labor made him slow dew/n the
rest of the week and when the month
was up he was tired and peevish and
not a, bit richer than when he had tak-
« , ttio Sunday vacation ever wash,

   
    

 

The decrease in non—bearing trees was j

The facts;
are, then, that new plantings are not:
sufficient to take care of the mortality?

That’s why growers are dusting to control brown rot on peaches, codling
moth and scab on apples, plum vcurculio, and other diseases and insects

Being twice as fine as flour particles,
Dosch Dusts penetrate out-of-the-way
places on foliage and crop and then,
with the aid of a special sticker mater-
ial, they stick like glue. '

They destroy the diseases and insects
that hurt your crops. Dosch Dusts are
chemically correct. The various com-
binations made for practically every
kind of crop and enemy are the result
of years of investigation, research and
experience. We are specialists in the
control of your profit—destroyers.

You Can Dust“ Quickly and Easily

The need for crop protection some-
times arises quickly. Often there is but
a limited time during which treatment
should be given. Here again, dusting
wins, for more acreage can be dusted

in a given time with one-fifth the usual
labor of other methods.

There are no heavy rigs to get mired,

no water to haul, no intricate machin-
ery. Dosch Dusting Machinery is light,
simple in construction, and designed to
meet actual' field conditions. Soggy
ground is no handicap to dusting.

Dusting Costs Less

In spite of the advantages of dusting, it
actually costs less than other methods.
Ease of application, economy of labor
and less expensive machinery bring the
costs of fungicide and insecticide appli-
cations to their lowest possible point.

“Harriet!” he pleaded with her.
She'steered the car on, recklessly,

her heart thumping with more than

, the thrill of the chase. “They’re the

men who tried to kill you, aren’t they?”
, she rejoined. The speed at which they
were going did not permit her to look
about; she had to keepher eyes on the

road at that moment when she knew '

within herself and was telling the man

beside her that she from that moment
' must be at one with him. For already

she had said it; as she risked herself
in pursuit, she thought of the men they
.w'ere after not chiefly as those who
.had killed her cousin but as those who

had threatened Eaton. “What do I

care what happens to me, if we catch
‘ them?” she cried.

“Harriet!” he repeated her
again. '

“Philip!”

She felt him shrink and change as
' she called the name. It had been clear
to her, of course, that, since she had
known him, the name he had been us-
ing was not his own. Often she had
wondered what his name was; now
she had to know. “What should I
call you?” she demanded of him.

“My name,” he said, “is Hugh.”

“Hugh!” she called it.

“Yes.”

“Hugh—” She waited for the rest;
but he told her no more. “Hugh!” she
whispered to herself again his name
now. “Hugh!”

Her eyes, which had watched the
road for the guiding of the car, had
followed his gesture from time to time
pointing out the tracks made by the
machine they were pursuing. These
tracks still ran on head: as she gazed
down the road, a red glow beyond the
bare trees was lighting the sky. A
glance at Hugh told that he also had
seen it.

“A fire?” she referred to him.

“Looks like it.”

They said no more as they rushed
on; but the red glow was spreading,
and yellow flames soon were in sight
shooting higher and higher; these
were clouded off for an instant only to
appear flaring higher again, and the
breeze brought the smell of seasoned
wood burning.

“It‘s right across the road!” Hugh
announced as they neared it. 0

“It’s the bridge over the next ra-
vine,” Harriet said. Her foot already
was bearing upon the brake, and the
power was shut off; the car coasted
on slowly. For both could see now that
the wooden span was blazing from end
to end; it was old wood, swift to burn
and going like tinder. There was no
possible chance for the car to cross it.
The girl brought the machineto a stop
fifty feet from the edge of the ravine;
the fire was so hot that the gasoline
tank would not be safe nearer. She

gazed down at the time-marks on the
road. I .

“They'crossed with their machine,”
she said to Hugh. .

“And fired the bridge behind. They
must have poured gasoline over it and

‘ lighted it at both ends.”

She sat with one hand still straining
at the driving wheel, the other playing
with the gear lever.

“There’s no other way across that

ravine, I suppose,” Hugh questioned
her.

“The other road’ s back more than a
mile, and two miles about.” She threw

“Miss Santoine!” Dibley cried. ,
“We think the men went this way,”
she continued. ~
“Did you see any one pass?" Eaton
challenged the man.

“Yes; down this road in a motor. ”
“Yes, sir.”
“When?” .-

Plowing 2'72 Me Spring Time ‘
By LeRoy W. Snell ‘ ’

There are joys that come to humans in all seasons of the year.
There are tasks that each likes better than the rest.

But turning up the furrows when the early spring is here
Is the task that sort 0’ suits ’my spirit best.

\

When I have old Jim and Nora hooked up to the old red plow,
And I get them lining straight across the lot.

Where the meadow lark is singing

and the bob-o'- link just now,

Is a handing out the swellest song he’s got.

Where the early bees are buzzing and the odor.coming from
The ground is smelling sweeter than a rose.

While the sun keeps getting warmer ’til the sweat it starts out on
My forehead and comes trickling down my nose.

There’ s the Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns all atrailing ’long behind,
And the youngsters hunting fishworms with a zest

Ch! of all the happy labors that God gives to human kind:
Seems as if this sort 0’ suits my spiritbest.

in the reverse and started to turn.
Hugh shook his head. “That’s no use.”

“No,” she agreed, and stopped the
car again. Hugh stepped down on the

ground. A man appeared on the other.

side of the ravine. He stood and star-
ed at the burning span and, seeing the

machine on the other side, he scramv

bled down the slope of the ravine. Ea-
ton met him as he came up to the road
again. The man was one of the artis-
ans—~a carpenter or jack-bf—all‘workm
who had little cottages, with patches
for garden through the undivided
acreage beyond the big estates. He
had hastily and only partly dressed;
he stared at Eaton’s hurt with aston-
ishment which increased as he gazed
at the girl in the driving seat of the
car. He did not recognize her except
as one of the class to whom he owed
employment; he pulled off his cap and
stared back to Eaton with wonder.

“What’s happened, sir? What’s the
mattel. ‘7” .

Eaton did not answer, but Harriet
now 1ecognized the man. “Mr. Blatch-
ford was shot tonight at father’s
house, Dibley,” she said.

“Your pump?”

“Yes, sir. Ive a pump in my front
yard. Theres no water piped through
here, sir.”

“Of course. Go on; Dibley.”

“I looked out and sawa machine
stopped out in the road. One man was
pumping water into a bucket for an-
other.” '

“Then what did you do?”

“Nothing, sir. I just watched them.
Motor people often stop at my pump
for water.”

“I see. Go on.”

“That’s all about them", sir. I thought
nothing about it—they wouldn’t wake
me to ask for water; they’d just take
it. Then I saw the fire over there—”

“No; go back,” Eaton interrupted.
“First how many, men were there in
the car?”

“How ~many?

Eaton started.
sure?”

“Yes, sir! I could see them plain.
There was the two at the pump; one
more stayed in the cai.’

Eaton seized the man in his intent-

“Watch them, sir?” *r »

“What they'did with it; you’re sure

Eaton explained.

“No, sir. I’d noticed if they did
that.”

“Then did they put it into the radi-
atorv—here in front where motorists .

Dibley stared. “No, sir; I. didn’t

didn’t put it into the car. They took

Eaton gazed at the man. “Only three,
you are sure!” be repeated. “And none
of them seemed to be hurt!”

“No, sir.”

“Then they went on in the'other
direction from the bridge a?" ’

‘ “Yes, sir. I didn’t notice the bridge
burning till after they went. So I
here.” '

Eaton let the main ,go. Dibley look-
ed again at the girl and moved aWay
a little. She turned to Eaton.

“What does that mean?” she called
to him. “How many should there have
been in the machine? What did the
want with the-water?” ‘

“Six!” Eaton told her. “There
should have been six in the machine,
and one, at least, badly hurt!”

Dibley stood dully apart, staring at
one and then at the other and next to
the flaming bridge. He looked down
the road. . “There’s another car com-
ing,” he announced. “Two cars!”

The double glare from the head-
lights of a motor shone through the
tree-trunks as the car topped and came '
swiftly down a rise three-quarters of a
mile away and around the last turn
back on the road; another pair of blind-
ing lights followed. There was no
doubt that this must be the pursuit
from Santoine’s house. Eaton stood
beside Harriet, who had stayed in the
driving-seat of the car.

“You know Dibley well,
he asked.

“He’s worked on our place.

Eaton put his hand over hers which
still clung to the driving wheel. “I’m
going just beside the road here,” he

She caught at his hand. “No; no!”
“You must get as far away
I’m go-
ing back to meet and hold them.”, She
threw the car into the'reverse, hacked
and turned it'and'brought it again onto
the road.- He came beside her again,
putting .out his hand; she seized it.
Her hands for an instant clung to it,

f‘You must go—quick!” she urged;
“but how am I to know what becomes
of youwwhere you are? Shall I hear
from you-.shall I ever see you?”

“No news will be good news,” he
said, “-until——”

“Until what?” 4

seemed to her—had checked his word
and action toward her,‘

bar them from one another now. “Until
they catch and destroy ‘me, or—until
I come to you as—as you have never
known me yet!”

An instant more she clung to him.
The double headlights flared into sight
again upon the road, much nearer now
and coming fast. She released him;
he plunged into the bushes beside the
road, and the damp, bare twigs lashed
against one another at. his passage;
then she shot the car forward. But
she had made only a few hundred
yards when the first of the two cars
met her. It turned to its right to pass,
she turned the same way; the ap-
proaching car twisted to the left, she
swung hers to oppose it. The two
cars did not strike; they stopped, radi-
ator to radiator, with the rear wheels
locked. ‘The second car drew up be-
hind the first. The glare of her head-
lights showed her both were full of
armed men. Their headlights, reveal-
ing her to them, hushed suddenly their
angry ejaculations. She, recognized
Avery in the first car; he leaped out
and .ran up to her.

“Harriet! In God’s name what are
you doing here?”

She sat unmoved in her seat, gazing
at him. Men leaping from the cars,
ran past her down the road toward the
ravine and the burning bridge. She

-longed to look once more in the direc-

tion in which Eaton had disappeared,
but she did not. Avery reached up and
over the side of the car and caught
her arm, repeating his demand for an
explanation. She could see, turning in
her seat, the men who had run past
surrounding Dibley on the road and
questioning him. Avery, gaining no
satisfaction from her, let go her arm;
his hand dropped to the back of the
seat and he drew it up quickly.

“Harriet, there’s blood herel’“

She did not reply. He stared at her
and seemed to comprehend.

He shouted to the men around Dib-
ley and ran toward them. They called
in answer to his shout, and she could
see Dibley pointing -out to them the
way Eaton had gone. The men, scat-

tering themselves at intervals along.

the edge of the wood and, under Av-
ery’s direction, posting others in each
direction to watch the road, began to
heat through the bushes after Eaton.
She sat watching; she put her cold
hands to her face; then, recalling how
just now Eaton’s ’hand had clung to
hers, she pressed them to her lips. Av-
ery came running back to her.

"‘You drove him out here, Harriet!”
hecharged. “Dibley says so.”

" “Him? Who?” she asked cooly.

“Eaton. Dibley did not know him,
but describes 'him. It can have been
no one else. He was hurt!” The tri-
umph in the ejaculation made her re
coil. “He, was hurt. and could not

.4;

N the tenth chapter of Mark’s gos-
I pel there occurs the story of Bar-
timaeus and the cure of his blind-
es.
description of the cure. The old blind
beggar had evidently heard of the won-
derful man in the north country, who
was healing people. Tales of blind
men regaining their sight, of paralyzed
people getting on their feet again, of
lepers being restored to their families,
would naturally travel far and they
would travel fast, too, even in those
days of slow communication. .Perhaps
some night as a company of beggars
(Palestine ‘Was full of them, and is
’ yet), sat under a
tree and talked

. over the day’s re-
ceipts, the name
of this wonder-

tioned.

*0,” thinks Bar-
timaeus, “Could I
but come in con-
tact with him!_
But it is not my
luck. I’ve been

 

hood and I suppose I always will be.”

But one day something happens. He
hears a crowd passing by. His ear,
accustomed to all the sounds of the
road, can tell whether it is a man, a
donkey, a camel, or a. company, that
is passing. He inquires what it is all
about. “Jesus the Nazarene is passing
by, on his way to Jerusalem,” they tell
him. Instantly he realizes that his
chance has come, and he must act
quickly, or the great healer will be
gone. He yells at the top of his voice,
“Jesus, Son of David, help me!” He
makes so much noise that they tell
him to be still.
he shouts the harder, “Son of David,
pity me, help me!” To his unspeak-
able joy, he told that the Master has
stopped and asks that he be brought
to him. He flings away his old cloak,
as if he would never need it again,
and literally leaps to his feet. “What
do you want?” he is asked. “Rabboni,
I would like to regain my sight." “Go,
your faith has ‘cured you.” As the
blind man leaps to his feet and comes
forward,'or is led forward, he is burst-
ing with expectation.

pointed? Is any one ever disappoint-

that. As has been said, God does not
always answer the prayer, but He al-
ways answers the man. We may not
always get the thing we ask, but we
get God, and that is an answer. Why
is it that coming to Christ with a defi-
nite request is so‘satisfying an act?
Why do so many people pray?
.not because Christ is God, as one
might say, in available form?

“Thy faith hath saved thee.” Of
course, it is unnecessary to ask what
faith is, because everyone knows. You
have faith in a doctor, in a certain
kind of tire, in a'certain make of trac-
tor. But Faith is confidence in any-
thing. Christian faith is belief in
Christ as Savior and Redeemer. And
when one says, that he has been sav-

often, was to escape hell, and go to

so. Does the modern preacher thunder

what is meant by the “hell,” we are
not able to say. If we are right in
our ideas of it, it does not refer to
physical,. literal bames, or a burning
lake, for, if man becomes a spirit after
death, physical torment would have no
effect on him. The idea is probably to

The old ‘

be found in that of conscience, re?

morse. This is the most terrible pun-
ishment there is. Read “Doctor Faust-
us,” by Marlowe, to get a picture of
remorse, or “Macbeth,” or “Richard
III,” by Shakespeare, or the story of
Judas. Added ’to, this is the fact of
separation from God, utter and com-
plete separation from God. This is
pi‘obably what is meant in the state-
ment that Christ "tasted death for ev-
ery man.” He came to thenterrible
depths on the cross where He thought
that even God had forsaken Him.

UT wemust not think that this ex-

hausts the meaning of “save.” This
is but one phaSe of it. The New Test-
ament has at least two other mean-
ings. One is, to restore to health, and
the other meaning is, to make one
whole, to fill anew with life, to rejuve-

nate the 50111. What is a saved man?

.He is' the whole man; he is not one-

sided, mean, narrow, bigoted. He has
completeness of soul, which God has
implanted there. He is the healthy
man. The holy man is the whole man.
He is blest with fullness of life. In

fact, there is no adequate conception~

of a saved person that does not carry
with it the conception of having a new
and dynamic life.

The Christian life is thenew me."
The Christian person is a person with.

anew and refreshing inner experience.

. ‘ (Continued from page 403).

For the first time since she had left
the garage she was suddenly conscious
that she was in her night-dress 'with
only a robe" and slippers. She drew
the robe .quickly about her, shrinking
and staring at him. In all the miles
she had driven that night with Eaton
at her side, she never for a moment
had shrunk from her companion or
thought how she was dressed. It was
not the exaltation and excitement of
what she was doing that had prevent-
ed her; it went deeper than that; it
was the attitude of her companion to-
ward her. But Avery had thought of
it, and made her think of it, at once,
even in the excitement under‘which he
was laboring. . ' .

He left her again, running-after the
men into the woods. She sat in the
car, listening to the sounds of the
hunt. She could see, back of her, in

. the light of the burning bridge, one of

the armed men standing to watch the
road; ahead of her, but almost indis-
tinguishable in the darkness, {was an-
other. The noise of the hunt had mov-
ed further into the woods; she had no
immediate fear that they wouldfind
Eaton; her present anxiety was over
his condition from his hurts and what
might happen if he encountered those
he had been pursuing. In' that neigh-
borhood, with its weeds and bushes
and ravines to furnish cover, the dark-
ness made discovery of him by Avery
and his men impossible if Eaton wish:
ed to hide-himself. Avery appeared
to have realized this; for now the voic-
es in the woods ceased and the men
began to straggie back toward the
cars. A party was sent on foot across
the ravine, evidently to guard the road
beyond. The rest began to clamber
into the cars. She backed her .car
away from the one in front of it and
started home.

She had gone only a short distance
when the 'bars again passed her, trav-
eling at high speed. She began then
to pass individual men left by those in
the cars to watch the road. At the
first large house she saw one of 'the
cars again, standing empty. She pass-
ed it without stopping. A mile farther,
a little group of men carrying guns
stopped her, recognized her and let her
pass. They had been called out, they
told her, by Mr. Avery over the tele-
phone to watch the roads for Eaton;
they had Eaton’s description; mem-
b'ers of the local police were to take

charge of them and direct them.’ She.

comprehended that Avery was sur-
rounding the vacant acreage where
Eaton had taken refuge to be certain
that Eaton did not get away until day-
light came and a search for him was
possible. ,

Lights gleamed at her across the
broad lawns of the houses near her
father’s great house as she approached
it; at the sound of her car, people
came to the windows and looked out.
She understood that news of the mur-
der at Basil Santoine’s had aroused the
neighbors and brought them from their
beds.

As she left her motor on the drive
beside the house—for tonight no one
came from the garages to take it—the
little clock upon the dash marked half
'past two.

The School Lunch

    

:By Nelle Portrey

HE vacuum lunch kits are a

great advantdge where it is imr
possible or impractical to serve,

hot lunches, as children need at least
one hot drink or dish for lunch, espe-
cially duringthe winter months. These
lunch kits usually have removable
aluminum trays for salad, puddings or
preserves. .However, if this sort of
lunch kit is not available, folding fibre
lunch boxes may be procured for a
small sum.

Lunch cloths or napkins should, of
course, be provided. Paper napkins
may be used for the purpose. They
are inexpensive and lessen the work
on washday.

We keep all cold cream, vaseline
and similar small jars for packing the
lunch boxes. They make excellent ze-
ceptacles for custard, sauce, preserves,
salads and puddings, the screw tops
preventing the contents from spilling.

 

A Unique Arrangement for Conven-
ience and Order in the Kitchen.

Small-sized aluminum salt and pepper
shakers are handy and cost but little

Loaves of bread baked in baking
powder cans or other tall cans, are ex-
cellent for sandwiches. They take but
little extra time to ‘make and are al-
ways a delight to the children. Little
,pans, shap'ed ' like bread
pans, but smaller, may be obtained
at any five and ten cent store or at a
variety store. Cakes baked in these
are handier to pack than slices of cake
and do not crumble so easily, little
chicken or meat pies may also be made
in them.

A little variety in food should be
afforded from day to day, as a child
soon‘tires of the same food prepared
in the same way. -The main part of
the lunch should, of . course, be the
sandwiches. TWO varieties of these
should be prepared. These need not
necessarily have meat filling as there
are other foods more easily digested
by the growing boy or girl, than meat.

Hard- boiled eggs are an old standby
with many mothers. Boiled for the
usual length of' time these are exceed-
ingly hard to digest. During the first
half hour of the boiling they become
tough. It is at this stage that they
are generally taken. from the fire.

. They should be boiled for shout two
hours, at the end of which am they ,

are tender and as easily digested as

   

  
  

‘ cakes in.

though soft- boiled. Mashed fine with .-

 

pared by chopping “nuts and seedless

.raisins together, moisten with cream

and spread between lightly buttered
slices 0f bread.

Brown bread cut in thin slices, but-
tered, and spread with mashed beans
and salad'dressing, makes an unusual
and substantial sandwich.

Brown bread spread with peanut
butter and some kind of a tart fruit
jam is also delicious.

Many other delightful and unuSual
fillings will suggest themselves if you
give a little thought to the subject.

Left-over cake icing may be used
as sandwich filling between square
crackers.

Next in importance to the sandwich,
comes the vegetable or salad. Sal-
mon, potato, cabbage, corn or apple
may 'be used. Here is where the little
jars come into play.

.Potatoes are good, and also conven-
ient to carry if baked.in the shell.
Select large, smooth potatoes for this
purpose. Bake‘until soft, then take
from the oven, split lengthwise and
remove the pctato from the shell.
Mash well and season i taste Put
back in the shells and put dots of but-
ter over the top. Brown lightly in the
oven. .,

Last, but not least, comes the des-
sert. This should consist of cake,
cookies, very occasiOnally some kind
of pie, and fruit of some kind.

Cupcakes or cakes baked in muffin
or gem pans do not dry out so quickly
as slices of cake. Plain or colored
fondant candy may be melted, to ice
the little cakes. The candy may be
put in a bowl and set over the teaket-
tle. When melted, dip the tops of the
They will harden quickly
and what is left of the icing may be
kept for the next time. ’

Oatmeal cookies and cookies with

raisin filling are a pleasant change}

from the usual molasses, cream or
drop cookies.

Tiny pies baked in shallow gem pans
are nice and are handler to carry than
pieces of larger pies:

Apples seem to be the favorite fruit
for school lunches. A handful of rais-
ins are a welcome change.

~ - EAT/Mons ’ LETTUCE.

 

‘ ETTUCE‘is an excellent food for

the nerves. *It should be eaten
freely the year round if possible. Let-
tuce should be planted early, and as
fast as one bed .is used up, or the let-
tuce begins to get old, another should
be put in. By this means, crisp, tender
lettuce can 'be had from very early in
the season until very late in the‘fall.

Transplant the young plants of the

As the basis of a salad, it is unex-

combinations of these will make a de-
licious salad which can be prepared in
a. few moments with a bed of lettuce,
and a bottle of dressing at hand. Lei‘t-

canned goods as salmon, pineapple,
crab meat, shrimp, lobster, or other
suitable supplies.

OW would you like to be a forest

romantic, but if it.meant to spend the
hours of each day alone in glassed-

think you’d try it? This is the job
Miss Lorraine Lindsley, a Wyoming
University student, picked out, after
the government forest service had
been-unable toilind'a man who would
stick to‘the job. '

Miss Lindsley lives in a lonely
mountain cabin, miles away from the
nearest settler, and at a point on the
mountain where most climbers give up
because the ascent from there on is
t00 hard. Every. morning she starts
out and climbs 1,500 feet farther up,
enters her “glass cage” and with a
powerful pair of field glasses keeps a
constant lookout for forest fires. It is
a lonely life among the rocks, without
grass or flowers and devoid of animal
life, yet Miss Lindsley finds it quite
to her liking. She is the first woman'
in Wyoming to be employed as «a for-
"est__ lookout. and the second in, the

' URING, my last term of club
work (Corn club) I failed to take
anything in the line of prizes,

which gave me a great determination

to win something this year, just to.

show the other boysthat .I could grow
corn. - ‘
I had my.half—acre plat plowed and

' liari‘owed early in the spring. ,I' had

put barnyard manure “and commercial

fertilizer in the soil in order to make ”

a better yield. .

I bought a peck of pedigreed Pick-
ett’s Yellow Dent corn and planted it
May 21. Luck followed me and I did
not have to replant. It was not long
before the fertilizers began to show
on the corn. I cultivated my plat
three times with a one-horse cultivat-
or, going twice in a row.

The week before the Boys’ and Girls’
Club Week I got real industrious as
I was to have this week off, and hoed
my corn, leaving it very nearly free

from. weeds. Althoiigh I spent much
time among my corn I failed to thin
it out, thus lessening the yield.

I had a fairly good stand of corn or
unusual growth for this variety of
corn. I was quite proud of my stand,
but my pride fell, through.a terrific
wind and rain storm that occurred
about a week later. The corn was
driven to the ground like that much
grass. My plat being near the~house
enabled the poultry to get their share
of the corn, thus damaging it to a
great extent. .

Early in the fall the corn began to

as elated to find that my plat yielded

a good price.

that Al and Hy appreciate the compli—

In fact, No. 9 brought more interest-

“Nothing is as interesting as a comic
supplement.” Which shows that she
enjoys a little fun.

Ruth L. Bell and several others an.
swered No. 9 by saying, “Looking for
the answer to these questions.” Clara
Nutall said, “contests, puzzle corners,-
and correspondents’ corners.” I hope
that others agree with Clara, as we are
going to include all these features in
our Boys’ and Girls’ Department.

had to be eliminated because of the
answer to this question. While this
answer Was correct as far as a word
reading cf the article is concerned, it
did not indicate that the writers got
the thought conveyed.

Arthur Lincoln afid several others
sent in typewritten replies. Arthur
asked whether typewriting is permit-
ted. I enjoy the easy reading of type-"
written letters, but to allow them in?
this contest would be unfair to those
who endeavor to neatly write their
papers by hand. One girl asked wheth-
er her hand writing would count
against her, it being difficult for her to
write. In reply to this, I will say that
I try to judge this part of the letters
by the effort that has been made to-
ward neatness and care in writing.
Some people cannot write as good 11
looking hand as others and, it would
be unfair to discriminate against them
entirely.

Several mentioned- in their letters
that they do not 'hope to win a prize.
It is much better to enter these con-
tests, or any of life’s 'contests, where
worthy objecs are to be obtained, with
a great-determination to win.

please do not think that. I have not

Dear Uncle Frank:

I think this is a very good thing for
us all to do because every time we
look up a 'question it teaches us some-
thing more.—.Edith Rees,- Wheeler,
Mich.

I want to commend you upon your

motive in lookingoup thedb questions.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

\ When I read the article about the
contests I was disappointed to find
that I missed the seventh question.
Inotioed that the answers are to be
judged for concisen‘eds as well as neat-
ness. So I hays made these ansWers

and your pals. ——Helen Moe1dyk, Osh-
temo, Mich.

You would have been a winner but
for Question No. 8. Your paper was
very neat. Just keep trying.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

2 I would be tickled to death it‘ I

should happen to win a prize, because

I never have in all my sixteen years.

I have no faith in getting anything for

Use it on your lousy liens and
chicks—your lousy colts,
horses and cattle. You’ll get
better chicks—bigger, better
fowls—more eggs—better
contented 'stock.

Chicks are apt to be lousy now.
Give them a chance. Sprinkle
Louse Killer into the feathers, about
‘ the coo s, on roasts, in nests of lay-
ingan settin hens. Always keep
Louse Killer in the dust bath. For
lousy horses and cattle, colts and
calves, stroke the hair the wrong
way and silt 1n Louse Killer.

We authorize dealers to return your
money if it does not do as claimed.

HE turkey hen begins seeking a.
location for her nest some time

if nests are provided for her- in suit-
able places about the farm buildings
and yards she will usually accept
them. '

and large barrels, such'as salt barrels,
and place them along the fence and in
corners of the turkey yards. These
are covered partially with brush or
cornstalks to hide them and make
them look attractive. A deepenest of
hay or straw is made inside and a nest
egg is provided. I also make nests

 

sheds, leaning up boards to hide them.
It is not unusual to have each of the
four corners occupied by a setting tur-
key at the same time.

Eggs should be gathered every day
and placed in a cool, well aired room,
(never in a cellar), and turned occa-
sionally if kept very long. Eggs can
be kept three weeks and hatch well.
As I sell for breeding stock and want
early hatching birds, I use only the
first laying of eggs from each turkey
hen. There are always more eggs than
the turkeys can cover and some of
them are placed under good reliable
chicken hens but when they hatch they
are given to the turkey hen to brood
as she is the natural and best mother.

I manage to have them all hatch at
about the same time (within two
weeks if possible) as they develop bet-
ter and are more easily cared for if
they are all about the same age.
However, if one has a large range
and time to give especial attention to
those of different ages. a larger flock
can be raised from the same number
of birds. If'the first hens laying are
not allowed to set they will usually lay
again in every short time. The first
eggs can be placed under chicken hens
and before they1are ready to hatch
there are likely" .to be ether turkey
hens wanting to set. After “trying
these ,out” on some nest eggs for a few
days, to prove their worthiness, give
them the eggs incubated by the chick-
en’s pen. Even though she has been
setting "but a few days, she is ready to
welcome the little poults when they
hatch. ,

By- hatching all remaining eggs in
the same way. giving the poults to the
last hens setting, one can usually
manage to have. turkey mothers for all.
If each mother is given a large roomy
house to shelter her brood she can
nicely cover and care for sixteen to
eighteen little ones. ; 4 p _

der a. turkey hen and nine under a_

size of eggs and hens, but it is best
not to have the nest too crowded at
hatching time.

Incubators are sometimes success-
fully used in hatching turkey eggs but
they require different methods of hand-
ling from chicken’s eggs. , ‘

As a rule, the turkey hen will take
proper care of herself while setting
butcCcasionally there is one, especial-
ly among the pullets, that will take
the matter too seriOusly. not being
willing to leave the nest for food and
exercise. These should be taken off

and shut out from the nest twice a.
week and for at least twenty minutes
each time.

They will eat quantities of

grass, dandelions, etc.. but do not seem
to require much food. Give soft food
or small grain (never corn) and see
that they have access to fresh water.

 

SOME SUGGESTIONS ON GEESE.

NOTICED in a. recent issue of the

Michigan Farmer the advice given
to not keep over three geese with one
gander. .

Tell the lady who has four geese
with one gender to keep them by all
means, and then have the laugh on
her neighbors. I have raised geese for
at least twenty years out of the thirty
I have lived on a farm, and have what
I consider good success. A great many
times I put six eggs under a hen and
take off six goslings. Perhaps if I had
only three geese with a ganderI might
get eight or nine.

With four geese and one gander. one
year I sold fifteen eggs.
one geese to sell after the usual acci-
dents. And then tell me to keep only'
three geese with one gander. To say
the least, it makes me “tired."

To start .‘the goslings I always put
them with the hens where they can
get grass. Then give separator milk
tE‘drink and bread, soaked in milk to
eat. Then feed bran and corn meal
half-and-half, wet up with cold water.
after they are two or three weeks old.
Some bake a Johnny-cake out of corn
meal and, baking powder. Bake until
real dry and then crumble up for'the
goslings. ,I am told they will grow
real fast on this. But I, have 'never
tried it. But I” do know they will grow
very fast by- uslng the separator milk
and bread .—Mrs. F L. ‘ '

TUBERCULOSIS m FLOCK.

Last year I now and then lost a hen.
I did not know what sickness reduced
our flock. I finally'opened one (after
it died and I found the liver infected
with white Spots which felt gritty .to
the touch. Also some nodules to the
intestines. I took it for granted then
the disease was tuberculosis. From
this infected flock I raised a hundred
chicks. Kept the pullets and they be-
gan to lay fine in December, keeping it ,
up till now. A day or two ago I no-
ticed one of those pullets acting dop-
ishy. I began to get scared, thinking
the pullets are also infected with tu-
berculosis. I killed the pullet and I
find the tuberculosis indications, spot-
ted liver and nodules adhering to the
intestineg. The balance of the pullets
are acting healthy and laying heavily.
Would you advise me ‘to sell the heal-
thy acting flock for meat? The p‘uilets
were raised-separately but went into
the old henhouse when I sold the old
hens late in the fall. This is tough as.
it is practically our only income now
-we receive from the eggs. Never had
such fine laying flock. They are Reds.
—— K.

It will be best to have a veterinarian
make a personal inspection of your
flock and make recommendations.
Long distance advice is rather difficult
in this case as it would not be fair to
tell you to market a flock that are lay-
ing and seem healthy because one hen
has died of a disease that youthinkr
is tuberculosis.

This disease is so serious that it is
best not 'to breed from an infected
flock. New stock should not be placed
in the same house where an old flock
has been until several months have
elapsed and sunshine and commercial
disinfectants have had a chance to
clean up the trouble. If the pullets
are laying well and only one has died
it might pay you to use disinfectants
and give the flock the best of care and
see what happens. But I haven’t seen
the flock. Your veterinarian should
be able to look over the birds and give
ycu good advice.

 

HENS LOSE FEATHERS.

We have some White Leghorn year-
ling hens. On some of themfthe feath-
ers are matted with dirt, mostly under
the vent and on the breast, then under
the wings and on the neck. The skin
is clean but seems irritated and red.
They are all in good health and lay-
ing, but are losing their feather‘s from

If the condition of the feathers be-
neath the vent indicates bowel trouble
it will pay to give the flock a dose of
epsom salts in a moist mash at the
rate of one-half teaspoonful of salts
per hen.

Hens are also troubled with scabies
caused by mites living at the base of
For such cases rub the
irritated skin with a mixture of one
part flowers of sulphur and four parts
lard. If the hens are troubled with
the common poultry lice it will pay to
treat each bird» with a, mixture of
equal parts of blue ointment and vas-
eline. Rub a bit beneath the vent and
under each‘ wing. If red mites are-
causing trouble paint the roosts with
kerosene oil or one of the coal tar
dips.

 

DAMPNESS KILLS THE HENS.

 

AMPNESS is at the bottom of

most poultry diseases, and poor
ventilation in the henhouse is what
causes dampness. The only way to
have well-ventilated chicken houses is
to build them right.

The preper house is‘of open-front
construction. and deep. Plenty of light

A De Laval Separator is valued chiefly because it separates
'cream—a cash crop—better, quicker, cheaper and without
waste. But of almost equal importance is the skim-milk it
gives, which will replace your present cows with better cows;
or as Pren Moore of the University of Idaho says, “when
fed to laying hens will bring you as much money as the orig-_
inal butter-fat,” while it is without equal for growmg pigs.

Milk, butter, eggs, poultry and pork, the best paying crops—

wood about an inch in diameter and a
foot or eighteen inches long. Fasten
the offending cow by your usual meth-
0d at the head but do not tie her‘foot
or use any kicking straps. Preferably,
have a large room or corral where it
will be possible to operate without get-
ting stamped on. Then proceed to do
the milking, being sure to start with
an empty bucket (or pail). Dear Bossy
will attend to the emptying the rest
of this job. ‘ ‘ .

When .she kicks just thump her
soundly—but not too severely as you
could break her leg—acros’s the “shin”
of the offending leg. Every time she
kicks rap her again‘ in the same place
(be sure and hit the shin of the ofiend-
ing member, not the head or the back
or some other inoffensive. place). Re-
peat every time she kicks .or until you‘
are through milking, and you will find
that two or three milkings will cure
the worst offenders. ,

Be careful to go about this —i_n a
cool, clear-minded way and “don't” get
angry. Just make" up your mind that
'she has got to quit it, even if she does

man, of Vassar, Tuscola county, and
she is credited with having produced

in a. seven-day test 609.5 pounds of

milk and 21.696 pounds of butter-fat,
equivalent to 27.12 pounds of butter, at
the age of two years, eleven months,
twenty-three days. Her milk produc-
tion surpasses the best previous milk
record in Michigan "in that class by
11.4 pounds. - , ‘ ,
The sire of this heifer, Flint Korm

known bull Maple Crest Korndyke

daughters with A. R. 0. records, and
twenty-two sons with tested daughters.

PURE-BR-ED DURHAM Is CHAM-
PION MOTHER.

HARLES STRUCK, Brady town-

ship farmer in Saginaw county,
living seven miles west of Chesaning,
is the owner of a. fourteen-year-old
pure-bred Durham cow that is believed
to be the champion mother cow of the
world. During the past six years Bos-
sie has given birth to two sets of quad-
ruplets, three pairs of twins and one
single. All lived except the quad-
ruplets.

Twins were dropped in 1917, 19.9
and 1921, thequartets'in 1918 and 1920.
A bull born in 1916 weighed 150 pounds
at birth. The 1917 twfns were sold

that time they weighed more than
1,100 pounds each, according to Mr.
Struck.
, Neighbors verify these statements
in regard to the champion cow, saying
that he raised the cow on his farm,
and that previous to 1916 the cow had
given birth to two..si~ngle calves .
“This cow gives more milk than any
cow in my herd, except one Holstein,”
said Mr. Struck. “Sometimes she gives
as much as fourteen quarts in one
milking. Certainly she does not owe
me any board bill. I have never heard
of a record like hers in the thirty-
eight years that I have been in this
country, and I doubt whether there is
another cow like her anywhere.”—J.

How 'Dairymen
Can Make More
Money [11.1922

RACTICAL men, With life-long
experience in dairy farming,
have worked out a system of caring
for the dairy herd that cuts down
the labor cost, increasesmilk yields,
improves cow health and saves feed.
This system is called the Jamesway.

The Jamesway provides cow comfort;

and comfortable cows give more milk.
I

It turns the disagreeable, dirty task of
cleaning the barn into a job a boy enjoys;
for the Jamesway keeps the cows clean.

The heavy labor is taken out of the task
of feeding; and feed wastes are stopped.

\Water, the simplest means of increasing
milk yieldwris often disregarded by dairy—
men. Those who realize how greatly the
milk flow is increased by the Jamesway are
reaping huge profits on their investment.

Jameswny ventilation gets the foul air out of

the barn, brings iresh air in. Helps keep the
cows vigorous and healthy.

In these ways, and others described in the

r~—-J-a<mcsway book,many dairy farmers are increas-

ing their profits this year.

Why not write us today for your copy? Please
say whether you intend to build or remodel a
dairy barn this year and whether you consider
putting in stalls, stanchions, drinking cups,
carriers or pens.

WOOL CONSUMPTION INCREASES.

IGURES have been dug up from
authentic sources showing the con-
sumption of wool in the United States
to have. been 72,000,000 pounds more
in 1921 than in 1920. The total, in 1921
was ‘572,724,000 pounds, as : compared
with 500,744,000 ”1.1.920. .The greatest
consumption was of grease wools of
which there “were 477,473,000 used in
1921 and only 410,666,000 pounds in the
year previous. ~ I

 

PARALYSIS IN PIGS.

INASMUCH as paralysis in pigs is
, presumed to be due to sOme lack in
Eitrition, it has been. suggested that

’milk and carrots which are well sup-

plied with vitamine B. be added to the
ration. Experimental work along this
line has given remarkable results.

of May.

A simple card questionnaire Will'be
used. This card will ask for the
acreage in each farm and the total
acreage of crops, including hay. It
will also ask the number of sows
which have farrowed or due to farrow
between January 1 and June 30, 1922,
as well as the-number which farrowed
between the same dates in 1921. Sim-
ilar information will be asked regard-
ing litters coming between July 31 and
December 31. The information on the
card will be confidential and only to

The figures will be of great value to
hog raisers and we anticipate the full-
est cooperation oft'farmers with the
post office and agricultural depart-
ments.

PIG-EATING sows.

 

,PIG-EATING sows should be fed
about three pounds of salt pork cut
in strips, or the pigs may be painted
with mucilage- centaining equal parts
of tincture of alloes and asafoetida as
soon as the pigs are dry.

’ A little wheat bran or linseed 611
meal in the sow’s ration will prevent
costiveness at wfarrowing time.

REPAIRING CONCRETE TANKS.

 

/

IT occasionally happens where suf-

ficient reinforcement has not been
used that a concrete tank will crack,
either through the freezing of water
or by uneven settling. These cracks
may often be repaired by using a rich
cement and plastering over the cracks
until they are well filled.

N additionalsum totaling nearly

three quarters of amillion dollars
has been included in the appropriation

year of indemnities on cattle tested
and found to have tuberculosis. The
total amount now carried by the bill
forthis purpose'is $1,728,800 .

Paralysis of Hind Quarters.—I have
two pigs three months old that seem
to have paralysis of. hind quarters, but
their appetite is good. I feed them
some corn, middlings, also plenty of
milk. 0. H. S. Grass Lake, Mich.—
Mix equal parts of wood ashes and salt

or three times a. day. Growing pigs
require a mineral mixture with their
feed, and I might add many of the
commercial mixtures are very good.
Have your pigs had plenty of exer-
cise?

Lame Pigs.——I wish you would tell
me What to do for my lame hogs;
they are stiff in hind quarters perhaps
foot-sore. I feet them corn and skim-
milk. J. G., Moline, Mich.—Mix 30
lbs. common salt, 25 lbs. bone flour,
12 lbs wood ashes, 12 lbs. flowers of
sulphur, 10 lbs. lime or limestone, 5
lbs. Glauber’s salts, 5 lbs. epsom salts,
2 lbs. powdered sulphate of iron to-
gether and feed one pound a month to
each hog. Feed less corn, more oats,
oil meal, clover, alfalfa and roots.
Keep them dry, clean and warm.

Barrenness.——Cow freshened Decem-
ber 19, 1920; has been bred twelve
times since; comes in heat every
three weeks, has no discharge, in good
flesh, only seven years old, but fails
to get with calf. H. F. C., Ypsilanti,
Mich. —Try the yeast treatment. Drop
a cake of yeast into one quait of warm
water, let it stand for th1ee hours in
warm room, then flush vagina three
hours before service You had better
flush vagina daily with warm water
and apply the yeast treatment for one
week before she comes in heat. Let
us have report of treatment.

Forage Poison.-.-I have some sheep
which have been running in swamps,
eating cedar and hemlock boughs, also
fed them bean pods, cornstalks and
straw. Several of them are sick and
three died. Symptoms, stand still and
stare at the ground as if afraid of
something, then throw the head back,
grind with teeth and soon die. Kindly
tell me what to do for them. J. A. S,
Clare, Mich. —Give each sick sheep
two or three tablespoonsful of castor
oil to move bowels, then give plenty
of salt and make a complete change of
feed. Feed ground oats, clover and
some roots.

WHEAT

With the coming of spring, the

. wheat crop is showing up favorably in

most sections. Some reports of dam-
age are being made, however, and it
will be a departure from practically all
past history if a crop scare does not
arrive later on. There are numerous
reports of green bugs in Texas and
Oklahoma while some acreage has
been plowed -up in Kansas and adja-
cent states and a marked demand for
oats to seed abandoned wheat acreage
has appeared in certain parts of Kan-
sas in the last few days. Foreign crop
reports are mixed but on the whole
do not indicate an ab'undant harvest so
far as Europe is concerned. Russia
will not be an exporter next year if
present signs are indicative, the Dan-
ubian countries have a small acreage
and the condition of the French wheat
crop is considerably below average.

CORN

Both the domestic and the export
demand for com have subsided in the
last few weeks offsetting the decline
in primary receipts which are now the
lightest since the last week in Novem-
ber. Stocks at terminals are large and

‘some of this corn accumulated during

the winter is being pressed upon the

market.
OATS

The oats market has been more or
less laggard for months but shows
some signs of gaining strength. ”Pri-
mary receipts have dropped down to
the smallest level since early in Jan-
uary while primary shipments have
increased and last week actually ex-
ceeded arrivals by a very substantial
amount. Some surplus sections have
disposed of their supply and are oblig-
ed to go outside to purchase seed. Ex-
port demand has broadened and clear-
ances are running close to 1,,000 000
bushels per week. Wet weather is de-
laying seeding operations in a Wide
area and it is possible that anxiety ov-
er the new crop hay have some effect

” on, the market before long.

SEEDS

_2 ‘ ’ The red clover seed market remains
, at nearly the highest level of the sea-
. son. asAlsike clover has declined dur-

ing the last few weeks and timothy

f the season

'Culls and common . . . ... .

‘E INIH' ll '

mand for clover seed win subside with-
in the next thirty days. During the
latter part of April the market begins

to ease off.
FEEDS

The spring demand from hog feed-
ers for shorts and middlings has made
a strong market on this product but
buyers are indifferent to other kinds.
Wheat feed prices for later shipment
are $1 to $2 below those for prompt
shipment. Stocks of cottonseed cake
and meal are larger than thbse of last
year but they are not being forced
upon the market and prices are bold-
ing firm. The linseed meal market has
weakened temporarily due to liberal
offerings out of second hands. Pro-
duction of corn feeds is heavy.

Light receipts are maintaining a
firm hay market. At Kansas City, for
example, receipts from January 1 to
date have been 5,659 cars compared
with 8,312 cars in the same period
last year and 17,725 cars in the same
period two years ago. Prices upon tim-
othy and prairie hay are substantially
lower than at this time last year but
alfalfa hay is higher. Ordinarily some
new crop alfalfa hay is moved out of
the far southwest 'by this time but the
cold weather is delaying the first cut-
ting this year and some observers pre-
dict that it will not be available until
the latter part of May. As a result,
Texas has been buying to a limited
extent in northern markets.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Although receipts of eggs are not as
heavy as they were at this time last
year, the movement into storage is
fairly generous. Receipts at the four
leading cities since January 1 total
2,947,000 cases compared with 3,171,-
000 cases in the same period last year.
Cold storage holdings at these four
points have increased to 142,000 cases
compared with 416,000 cases at the
same time in 1921. Cold storage hold-
ings of frozen poultry in the United
States on March 1 were 88,708,000
pounds. Stocks decreased nearly 15,-

000, 000 pounds during February, com-
pared with a decrease of only 2,000,000
pounds in the same month last year.

BEANS ,
The (bean market has been quiet dur-

ing the past week with choice hand-
picked white beans quoted at $7 per

2100 pounds «f. o. b. Michigan shipping

points. Warm weather has dulled the
demand slightly, and prices are not
quite at the top. The undertone is

"firm .with offerings light and-a pros-

pect that the supply will fall consider-
ably short. of lasting till the new crop
is ready. No new export sales have
been made. A rumor that some beans
have been brought into an eastern port
from Roumania at 3%; cents in bond
or 5175 cents duty paid is generally
doubted since recent export sales to
Europe were at a much higher figure.
Japanese beans are quoted at seven
cents on the Pacific Coast.

POTATOES

Stocks of potatoes in the fifteen lead-
ing potato states on March 1 were es-
timated at 90,946,000 bushels, of which
73,486,000 bushels were held by farm-
ers and 17,460,000 bushels by local
dealers. Only 31,000,000 bushels of
the farm stocks will be sold so that
total stocks available for commercial
channels are about 48,000,000 bushels.
Since the commercial disappearance of
potatoes from these states thus far in
the crop year has been only about 102,-
000,000 bushels, the supply on March
1 appears to be ample for the rest of
the season. This is the first year such
a report has been gathered so that no
comparison with preceding years is

‘ BUTTER

The butter market remained nearly
steady most of last week but eased ofl.‘
rather sharply at the close. The prin-
cipal cause was an accumulation” of
fancy butter at eastern markets, espe-
cially New York. Consumptive de‘
mand continues broad and the under-
grades especially have been more pop-
ular than usual but receipts are run-
ning above the average for this season'
of the year and an enormous quantity
of storage butter is being put onthe
market. There is no speculative buy-
ing to absorb a surplus when it ap-
pears as lower prices are expected
within the next 30 days. Stocks of cold
storage butter at the four leading cit-
ies on March 24 were 8, 259,000 pounds '
compared with 11,823,000 pounds on
the corresponding day last year.

Prices on 92-score fresh butter are:
Chicago 380; New York 370. In De-g
troit fresh creamery in tubs sells for
37@38c per pound.

WOOL

The finance committee in the United
States Senate has finally agreed upon
a duty of 38 cents per scoured pound
on wools except those of carpet grade
which are to be duty free. The meas-
ure has some distance to go before
final enactment but it has a good
chance to go through. The duty on
scoured wool in the emergency tariff
is 45 cents. The wool market has been
relatively quiet. Activity of the woolen
and‘worsted mills has slowed down
about 10 per cent inxthe last three
months, nevertheless mills are obliged
to buy raw wool and prices are prac-
tically unchanged. At the London auc-
tion of Colonial wools, values have
been hardening steadily. The demand
for cloth is slow and many mills are
considering the necessity of reducing
wages in order to cut costs of produc-

tion.
APPLES

Cold storage holdings of apples in
the United States on March 1 compris-
ed 989,000 barrels compared with 2,-
020,000 barrels on the same date a year
/ago and a five-year average of 1,500,000
barrels; also 6,209,000boxes compared-
with 4,890,000 boxesa year ago and a
five-year average of 3,812,000 boxes.-
Total holdings are e valefit to 3,058,-
000 barrels compare , with 3,649,000
barrels a year ago and a five-year av-
erage of 2,771,000 barrels.

EMBERS “of the executive com»

mittee of the Michigan Potato
Producers’ Association tightened ev-
ery volt in the inspection and market-
ing machinery of their organization at
Cadillac last week when they adopted
a set of rules governing inspection or.
certified seed in field, bin and car
which are considered by far the most
rigid in any state in the country.

The new certification requirements
are ironclad in every detail, making it
possible in 1923, when only. certified
stock can be used for seed, to put
Michigan on the map as one of the
leading seed potato states inthe coun-'
try. Cultural methods are defined in
the new. rules, and while they are
practically the same as the old, they
plug some of the loop holes. Varietal
and disease tolerance is defined very
thoroughly, and whether the farmer is
growing potatoes for seed or table

stock, he will find it efficient to follow

the rules as laid down by ,the commit-
tee. Much stress is placed upon spray~
ing, five applications of Bordeaux
mixture being recommended.

The Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex-
change and the seed department of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau were
appointed sales agents, and they will
jointly lay out their plan for market-
ing. An important step in this connec-

' tion is the decision of the farm bu~

reau to have its representative inspect
each .car befOre shipping, to see that
certification requirements have been
closely adhered to. The bureau has
sold ten thousand bushels this fall
without a rejection—R.

 

BIG CAM PAIGN PROGRESSING
WELL.

Y the second weekof March, eighty-

four farmers’ meetings had been
held by Mr. L. F. Livingston, land-
clearing specialist of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, and his assistant,
Mr. McAdams, for the purpose of mak-
ing the farmers acquainted, with the
objects and procedure of the" land-
clearing schools that are to be put .in
northern Michigan, this spring. The
average attendance at the meetings is
stated to have been eighty- -three. This
is indicative of the wide- spread inter-
est being shown throughout the dis-
trict. There remained about thirty
similar meetings to be held.

The process of stump and stone re-
moval is depicted by moving pictures
and, curiously enough, it has been re-
vealed at these exhibitions that not a.
{few persons in the remoter portions of
the district had never before seen any
moving picture exhibition. This ap-
plies not only to children but to adults
advanced in years. So the films are
eagerly scanned for their own sakes
as well as the lessons they teach.

Mr. Livingston and Mr. McAdams
are not confining their attention to
farmers. They are also seeking to
“sell” the idea to city people. Rotary
clubs at several points have been ad-

dressed. Addressing the Rotary Club

at Marquette, March‘l3, Mr. Living-
ston set forth the importance of more
cleared acres to the city man as well
as to the farmer, for thereby comes
greater production, greater profits,
greater bank deposits and greater pur-
chasing power on the part of the
farmers.

So far a hearty response has come
to these appeals and Mr. Livingston
has no doubt that the goal of 60,000
cleared acres this season will be at-
tained. Two factors—mo equipment
provided by the railroads and the at-
’tendance of farmers at meetingsmrep-
resents twice as great an effort as that
put forth in Wisconsin, when Mr. Liv-
ingston ape-rated there, and should

pondingly large neturns.

cent: better than $52 per head. The

 

1111, Mr. Livingston explains

I ".11 that it was quite impossible to an-

swer the question without reference to
particular parcels of land and the par-
ticular conditions under which the op-
erations were to take place. If he said
forty dollars, for example, some large
land owner, wishing to foist his lands
on the public that might require one
hundred dollars per acre to clear,
would use his statement to deceive the
unwary purchaser. There was land
which could be cleared for twelve dol-
lars per acre and other land which
would require an, outlay of one bun:
dred dollars or more.

In the school of instruction farmers.-
learn where the blasting hole ought tol
be placed to get the 'best results, how
to make ,the hole, how to insert the
explosive, tamp it, place the cap and
fuse, remove and pile the stumps and
fire them. A high, narrow-burn pile
completely burned the
stumps than. one spread out, while
bush were best burned in a hay-cock
formation rather than in windrows-
There are a number of home-made but
effective devices that the farmer can
use in his clearing operations, which
they are shown how to construct. Not
a. few of our farmers were at one time
miners, and he stated that some trou-
ble was encountered to get these min-
er-farmers to use thirty per cent dyna‘
mite when they had been accustomed
to forty per cent underground.

NO SALES TAX THIS SESSION.

HERE will be no sales tax or any

other kind of a. tax passed at this
Session of congress; the problem of
congress is not to raise more taxes but
to'spend less money, is the opinion of
Congressman Patrick H. Kelley, of
Lansing, in a recent reply to the State
Farm Bureau’s protest against consid-
eration by congress of a sales tax as
a financing measure for a soldiers’
bonus or for any Other purpose. The
farm bureau maintained that a sales
tax would work a hardship upon the
consumers, particularly the farmer, as
he would have: to pay such a tax com-
ing and going.

R. CHRISTIAN BARTHOL, direc-

tor of bacteriology of the Central
Experiment Station of Sweden is now
in this country studying scientific
work and investigating dairy condi-
tions. Dr. Bathol says that a large
number of dairy representatives from
European countries are planning to at-
tend the World’s Dairy Congress in

WOOL POOL PROGRESSI'NG.

HE State Farm Bureau is rapidly
rounding into shape its local wool.
pooling and grading campaign for
1922. Early last week forty-five local
stations had been signed up in the first
few tiers of Michigan counties and the
work is going forward in other coun-
ties. In the meantime wool continues
to come into the central warehouse at
Lansing where the same forty per cent
cash advance on the current market
value of the wool is being made on
date of grading, just as will be done in'
the field when the local pooling and
grading campaign gets under way.
The first local pooling date has
been set for April 17 at Charlotte.
April 19 graders will be at St. Johns;

Give fertilizer credit
for all it does

Do you know the effect Swift’s Red- Steer
Fertilizers have on quality? c

That a bushel of fertilized corn or a ton of
fertilized hay may have considerably more
feeding value than a bushel of unfertilized

corn or a ton of unfertilized hay? That an

acre of fertilized pasture will furnish food
for one animal, where it formerly took two
or more acres?

The bestseed' is made where fertilizer is used.

The farmer must have good seed to grow
good crops, and a crop that is suitable for

' seed always brings more than the average

crop.

The difference" in quality between fertilized .

and unfertilized crops often more than pays

the entire cost of the fertilizer, leaving the ,
extra yield as clear profit.
