CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:
Wit flourishes where sense fails to
take root.

He who watches the

Fine barns do not make good. cows.

Mice should never seek advice from
the cat.

When he was a farmer he spake as
a. farmer, he understood as a farmer,
he thought as a farmer; but after he
was elected he put away his farmerish
things.

Gluttony kills more persons than do
famines.

For which We pay.

Soil building is a very fundamental

part of farming and it cannot be re

duced to a single recipe. A combina-
tion of green crop manuring, barnyard
compost and fertilizers used in rota-
tion or together will ultimately win the
day when accompanied with. the right
type of cultural methods.

Rates ed than in the matter

of interest r a t e s .
When there is a big demand for money
interest rates are high, and vice versa.
Bankers and private capitalists are
just like bakers and butchers and cam
dlestick makers in this regard. They
maintain high rates just as long as
the trade will bear it. And the man
who needs additional capital to con-
duct his business is in even worse
shape to start a boycott than is the
consumer who must purchase the ne-
cessities of life, since in his case
there is no possibility of substitution.
Nothing else will do where money is
needed.

And the worst phase of the problem
is the fact that the very process of
deflation, which has been so complete
in agriculture, creates the need of
more capital in many cases, because it
involves a loss of capital already in-
vested in the production of the deflated
,oom‘modities. Naturally farmers hesi-

but it is the part of wisdom in making
long-time ‘loans to make provision for
the possible repayment of any portion
of the loan at any annual interest pay-
ment period. This will be a protection
against the time of lower interest
rates. The reaction is sure to;-come.
Under present conditions it may be de-

layed longer than has been the case“

in any previous deflation period on ac-

u count of the large amounts now in-

vested in tax-free bonds. In the mean-
time farmers will have to finance their
business. at present rates. Under these
conditions the wise business man will
not do without necessary capital for
the profitable conduct of his business
if he can secure it, nor will he plunge
heavily on borrowed capital.

er should say to him-
self and his helpers, "This is clean-up

nual task, the farmer should put senti-
ment aside and do a thorough job. The
health of the family and the inspira-
tion that comes, to every individual in
the home from tidy premises make it
a hundred times worth while to get

in making the usual repairs to fences,
gates, walks and buildings will often
save much time later when field work
is crowding. In addition to getting rid
of the rubbish and making repairs,
flowers, shrubs and,trees can be plant-
ed to increaSe —the attractiveness of
the home and the farm.

It is a common observation that on
farms where old machinery, boards,
brush, weeds and a hundred other
things have accumulated from year to
year, that there is a noticeable lack of
the progressive spirit among the mem-
bers of such homes. This trash is no
doubt good ovidence that the premises
are under the management of some
careless person. While this is no doubt
more or less true, it. should be remem-
bered that the untidiness also exerts a
demoralizing influence upon those who
are constantly where they must look
upon the dirt and disorder. Let us,
therefore, get the clean-up spirit if it
has not already taken possession of
us. If this spirit is allowed to function
properly we will have more valuable
farms and enjoy a happier and better
farm life.

EACH orchards are: comparatively
short-lived and if a uniform pro-

, ducubn of this fruit is to he main- ,
tained, plantings must be made at

more frequent intervals than with apt
pies. If extensive plantings are made

at one time or over a Short term of

years, it follows that a heavy produc-
tion of fruit will be had a few years

‘ later and likewise if no. or few, plant-

ings are made over another term of
years that under-productiOn will pre-
vail after a few years.

The advisability of planting peaches

‘wm therefore depend to a large extent

upon the number and age of the peach
plantings in the general section of the
country in whicn one is farming as
well as the number and ages of trees
in competing peach territory or in the
peach sections which contribute to our
markets at the same time our peaches
may be expected to be marketed.
Michigan fruit growers should make
a study of the status of the peach in-

dustry in New York, Ohio, Indiana and

Illinois as well as in Michigan before
making further plantings. If it is found
that extensive plantings
made and that the markets will prob-

ably be well supplied for a number of‘

years, it may be well to defer plant-
ing; but if it appears that peach pro-
duction is declining in these states and
probably will continue to decline until
the production will not meet the mar-
ket demands, it would .seem good bus-

iness to plant peaches if favorable lo-
‘cations are available.

GOOD size ”for a rabbit hutch is
six feet long, two feet wide and
two feet high. One-third of the
length can be enclosed for a nest. This
nest should have an entrance \on the
side just large enough for a rabbit to
enter. It should have a hinged door

. on the front so the nest can 'be opened ‘

and cleaned. The hutches are only two

\ feet deep so they can be thoroughly

cleaned and the rabbits can be easily
caught. In a hutch more than two feet
deep it might be difficult to catch the
rabbits as they would naturally huddle
to the back of the hutch.

An old shed can be made into a rab~
bitry if it is dry and has enough win-
dows. Sunshine is a great aid in keep-
ing the hutches healthy and should be
permitted to touch as much of their
area as possible.

makes the rabbits more subject to dis-
ease. A rabbit in its natural environ-
ment can feed over. a wide range of
territory. It hops from plant to 'plant
during the night and Obtains plenty of
exercise. It can change its nest if it
wishes and is not compelled to.live in

When rabbits are raised: in hutches
they are in an unnatural environment
and the breeder must keep these
hutches clean and dry to keep the rab-
bits in health. The commercial coal-

years ago indicated that the produc-
tion in the western part» of New York
would rapidly decrease from about
7,000 cars annually to at least 2,500
cars. The trees were found to be in
a poor state of vigor partly because of
the severe winter of 1917-18 and partly
because of general market neglect.
The neglect'was due in part to dissat-
isfaction with the industry caused. by
poor returns during the previous years.
Plantings were not expected to in-
crease because the better fruit lands
were largely devoted to apples. This

forecast has been correct according to .

reports from that state, and further-

‘more there appears to be no~1ike1ihood

of big plantings in the future. 3
Michigan suffered .very heavy losses
of trees largely due to the effects of

 

the 1917-18 winter. The percentage of
trees that were killed outright was
large and furthermore, growers were
not satisfied or were disheartened with
peach returns, and consequently neg-
lected the injured trees~ to such an ex-
tent that orchards have been rapidly
dying out. Observations about the
state show conélusively that new
peach plantings will only replace a
small percentage of the orchards that
are removed from commercial consid-

eration. Nursérymen report few sales

of peach trees and foresee alow pro-
duction within a few years. Observa-
tions made during the past season rel-
ative to the industry in Michigan show
that only a few of the more wide-
awake or business-like fruit growers
are planting peaches. '

Robert Anderson, of Covert, Knows Good Care Pays in Peach Orchards.

A good rabbitry can be made by
building the hutches one above the
other and then covering. all the hutch-

es with an A-shaped roof supported on .

4114 pieces. Then the hutches are just
in an open shed through which the air
can circulated from all directions-Rab-
bits can stand a great deal of cold, but
dampness will prove bad for them.

The open air hutches give the animals'

plenty of oxygen and they can hide in
their nests when storms make the
hutches too eold. Small movable
hutches with wire bottoms are some-
times used for breeding rabbits. As
the hutches are moved the rabbits will
eat up all green growth that projects
through the wires. In this way they
will clean up patches of weeds.
Among the feeds that rabbits like

best are clover, cariots, oats and b1an.
Some breeders have success by keep-
ing a rack: of clover in the hutch, sup-
plemented by a handful of cats for
each rabbit both morning and night.
Other bits of green food are given at
intervals but no sudden changes are
made in the entire ration as it is not
considered best.

A salt box is needed in each hutch.
Fresh water should be provided twice
each day in the summer and at least
once’each day in the winter. Clean
water is of importance in’ keeping all
kinds of animals healthy and is of
special importance among the hutch
rabbits that are confined in such lim-
ited quarters.

All kinds of grass are eaten by rab-
bits with apparent relish. In fact, the

that were planted to apples with peach
fillers some years back. Again, there ..
are some excellent peach “sites that.
have borne two or more peach or:
chards and, of course, will be devoted"~
to other crops for some years to come.
Cherries, and in some cases grapes,
have also been planted on many of the
peach sites and will occupy‘the land
for several years. I

What has been said of New York
York and Michigan will apply in a very
large extent to the states contiguous
to them. Peaches were used as fillers
in many of the extensive plantings of
apples made in the Shenandoah-Cum-
berland Valley of the Virginias, Mary-
land and Pennsylvania during the last
twenty years but the peaches are con-
tinually being pulled out to make room
for the permanent trees. The new 5.
plantings are not sufficient to replace 3
the trees removed and it is the writer’s
judgment, after being in intimate touch
with growers in that section for four
years, that the Shenandoah-Cumber-‘
land Valley will be devoted largely to
apples with peaches in only a few lo~
calities of limited extent.

cost of feeding rabbits consists more
in the time taken to gather the green
feed than in the actual cash value of
the feed. Dandelions, dock, mallows
and plantain are good green feed for
rabbits. In the winter the clover chaff
gathered about the mangers in a stock
barn will help out in feeding rabbits.
Young rabbits are often killed by'
feeding them heavily on the same feed
the old doe will eat. It is best to keep
oats and green feed away from them
for the first two weeks. \Vhen the
young rabbits begin running from the
nest, bread and milk is a good growing
feed for them. Then_the dish should
be removed after they have eaten for
a few minutes so that the bread and
milk mixture will not become sour. I
It is often best to remove the doe to
another. hutch when she is fed, so that
the young rabbits will not nibble at
feed not intended for them. When the
young are two months old the doe can
be removed permanently to another
hutch. At this time the rabbits are
growing rapidly and there is danger of
overcrowding. Sometimes an upstairs
room in a shed can be used as a. run
for the young rabbits until they are
marketed as meat or sold as breeders.
This upstairs room places the rabbits '
where they are more safe from thieves
or stray dogs. If they have the run ‘of’
a small yard this yard must be circled ,
by a trench filled with stone or wire,
to keep the rabbits from burrowing out '
and other pests from digging in. It is
well to remember, especially on fruit

SEEKS SUPPORT‘OF FARM
sunsAu. g.

 

N attenipt to induce the American

.Farm Bureau Federation to favor
the Alabama Power Company in its
efforts to obtain control of the Muscle
Shoals power and nitrate fixation
plants is alleged in a sworn statement
signed by Roy 0. Bishop, secretary
and manager of the Alabama Farm

'Bureau Federation, and presented by

Gray Silver, Washington represents.-
tive’ of the American Farm Bureau

~Federation, to the house military af-

fairs committee.
In this statement it is alleged that
General B. E. Steiner, who is said to

. be an attorney for the Alabama. Power
Company, visited the office of the Ala- ,

hams Farm Bureau Federation on two
occasions in the interest of a proposal
whereby.“the Alabama Bureau Peder.
ation should, gain control of the nitrate
plant No. 2 at Muscle Shoals.” The
general’s proposition involved the se-
curing of the approval of the plan by
Gray Silver. ,

General Steiner denies that he has
any connection with the Southern Pow-
er Company, and the company asserts
that when General Steiner suggested
to the Farm— Bureau Federation ofli-
,cials in Montgomery that they organ-
ize a company of Alabsnm farmers to
lease the nitrate plants and take ad-
vantage of the 100,000 horsepower
which the power company had agreed
to furnish the government if their of-
fer was accepted, it was not intended
as a bribe.

A SCHOOL OF RELIGION.

 

HE possibility of establishing a.

school ~ of , religion in connection
with the University of Michigan is now
being investigated by a committee
composed of members of the faculty
and others. It is possible, and alto-
gether likely, that an interchange of
credits would be arranged so that the
students enrolled in the proposed
school of religion would get credit for
their coursts in the university and vice
versa.

ation to obtain compensation for their

been any provision made in the charter

" now commonly known as “Hubam, " its

OTWITHSTANDING all that has
been said and written about the
new annual white sweet clover,

place in the “social ragister” of our

' "leguniinbue crops has not been fixed.

We do not know whether it will be a

,transient guest on a few of our farms
’or a permanent resident on many of

them. .
The probability is that it will not

measure up to all the claims made for -

it by. its most enthusiastic boosters,

’ while it is equally likely that it will.

exceed the expectations of those. who
think it has little promise as a useful
legume. Ultimately its place in the
economy of our agriculture will be de-
termined by practical field tests by
farmers under varying conditions.

Up to the present time there have
been few such tests owing to the high-
price of the limited amount of seed
which has peen available, practically
all of which has been used for the pro-
duction of seed crops. A few tests
have been made at the experiment sta-
tions in a few states, and last year a
few small field trials Weref‘made in

~ Michigan, but the resulting evidence is

conflicting and wholly insufficient upon
which to base an intelligent opinion as
to .the probable future of this legume.
Many farmers are interested in its pos-
sibilities at the present time, and for
their benefit we will briefly review

available evidence and opinion regard-

ing this new plant.
‘Professor Cox, of M. A. 0., writes us
as follows regarding Hubam:

“Our experience with Hubam last
year was not final and convincing, due

, very largely to adverse weather con-

ditions, which prevented seedings from
developing a proper stand. ' At several
points, however, Hubam was used with
benefit as a pasture and soil improve-
ment crop and in other instances it
made substantial growth for hay pur-
poses. The Farm Crops Department

.prices well within.their reach.
recommended that it be seeded on

plans to repeat, on a more extensive

scale, field tests of Hubam as a short
season hay crop and as a pasture and
soil- improvement crop. There is cer--
tainly a place in Michigan for a legum-
inous crop which will produce a good
gmwthfor hay and pasture in a single
season, and it is hoped that further
trial under better seasonal conditions
will finally establish the real place of
Hubam. ,

, “Without dOubt many farmers of the
state will be interested in seeding this
crop for forage purposes with seed at
It is

wheat or rye, or with oats or barley at
the rate of) from twelve to fifteen
pounds of seed per acre, inoculating
seed with culture which can be secur-
ed from the Department of Bacteriol-
ogy of the»Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege, East Lansing, Michigan.‘ The

 

 

price of- culture is twenty-five cents a

.bottle and one bottle contains suffi-

cient material to inoculate a bushel of
seed. 'Directions for application ac-
company the material.

"‘Acid soils will need lime at the
rate of from one to two tons per acre
in order to succeed with the Hubam.
Better results will [undoubtedly be se-
cured by seeding Hubam alone without
a companion crop. Light sandy land
will certainly be benefited through the
increase of organic matter and nitro-
gen, which will result from a stand of
this annual sweet clover.

“Should this crop prove valuable
when used on a field scale during the
coming summer, seed will be in de-
mand the next year.

“The place of this crop in Michigan
agriculture has not as yet been estab-
lished but its value has been by no
means disproved.”

 

,How Our 1921 Crop of Hubam Shocked Up.

A recent bulletin from the Iowa 11::
periment Station contains the folIOwEV
ing paragraph regarding the tests
made in that state:

Preliminary tests made by the Iowe
Experiment Station indicated that ii
Iowa: (1) it will be the best green
manure crop to seed with small grain
in the spring and plow down in the fall
of the same year on soils Which are
well drained and not acid; (2) it will
make an excellent summer and fall"
pasture crop”for cattle and sheep. It
makes a leafy and succulent growth.
following the removal of a small grain
crop or following the removal of a hay
crop when seeded alone; (3) .it will
prove to be a satisfactory emergency
leguminous hay crop to seed when red
clover or alfalfa fail.

On the other hand, the Ohio Experi—
ment Station reports that from tests
made last year Hubam suffered by
comparison with the biennial sweet
clover, both as a soil improver and as
a forage crop. Opinions voiced by
Michigan farmers who have groWn the
crop for seed and experimented with
it in a. small way under ordinary field
conditions are quite as varied, depend-
ing apparently upon the local or sea-
sonal conditions which obtained. It is
undoubtedly true that a few scattered
trials in a single season do not offer
any very substantial evidence regard-
ing the value of this plant in our ag-
ricultural practice. But with seed be-
ing offered at a nominal price in quan-
tities suitable for field trials the oppor~
tunity is offered for any farmer to give

it a trial under his conditions and for
his special purpose or need, whether
for green manuring purposes or as a.
hay or pasture crop following spring
seeding in winter or spring-sewn
grain. The more of these field trials
made this year the better, from the
standpoint of determining the value of.
this plant in Michigan agriculture.
Practically no risk is involved and the
information derived will be valuable.

Michigan Tries Monolithic Road

“ . v Maker Ideal Dave/mg Surface,

ALHOUN county is among the

first in southern Michigan to

round up its original network
system of improved roads laid out by
the county road cemmission several
years ago. And one of the first strips
completed was on the “Old Territorial
Road" between Marshall and Battle
Creek. That strip will be regraded
over the present graveled track and
laid with concrete and asphalt the
coming summer.’ The new road bed
will be twenty feet wide and one of
the finest built. It is No. 17 of the

'state trunk line system.
The transformation of a poor strip

of road that has largely taken care of
itself since 1830 when the first pioneer
settlers came to, Albion, Marshall and
Battle Creek, is shown in Picture No.
1. Every reader of the Michigan Farm-
er will be interested in this strip of
road because it is the only piece of
so—called “Monolithic” roadbed in the
entire state outside of city pavement.

This country- road past the homes of
scores of farmers who read this paper
was built about six years agoand is in
perfect condition today. It has stood
the heavy traffic of all kinds, including

heavy army trucks during and since

the war.

This monolithic load bed is built on
heavy clay, gravel and sandy ioads
for about six miles between Albion and
Marshall. Picture No.1 shows clearly
how poor and sandy the old roadbed
was for nearly three-quarters of a cen-
tury. It was impossible for vehicles to
to meet. and turn out in some places,
and still worse for automobiles.

Picture No. 2 was taken from the
exact spot'as No. 1. We were accom-
panying State Highway Commissioner
Frank F. Rogers on an inspection trip
and taking pictures for the depart-
ment. The other picture shows the
finishing of the monolithic surface by

Bat 15 Rather C only

filling the cracks between the paving
brick with lipuid cement.

The building of a monolithic road
bed is entirely different from any otho
er process, and it has proved to be a

complete success in every detail. After ',

the road bed is graded and rolled .“5
down the concrete is poured and lev-
eled in sections just as for any other
concrete pavement. .
But no sand is used for cushion-‘on
top of the concrete, as in city brick
paving on a concrete base. VeryAsoon
after a strip of fresh concrete has
been laid, from a few hours to .one

CLOVER CATCH 0N WHEAT.

 

Can you tell us the best and surest
method of getting a good catch of clo-
ver on ground sowed in wheat last
fall, on land in southern Michigan that
is a sandy loam?——T. E. M.

One of the most Successful methods
of securing a catch of clover onground
sown to wheat last fall is by use of
the four-inch disc grass and clover
seed drill. The seed should be drilled
in as early in the spring as it-is safe
to get out on the' field. If a grass and'
clover seed drill is not available the
clover seed may be sown broadcast
and c0vered with a light application of
the spike-tooth barrow. On sandy loam
soil ‘the honeycomb method of seeding
during the early spring is not so likely
to prove successful as either of the
above mentioned methods—C. R. M.

NAME FOR FARM.

 

Can you advise me as to whether I
can just take the name "Maple Hill
Stock Farm,” or whether it is neces-
sary for me to register or copyright,
or take any other formalities?—J. B.

Regarding the use of the name “Mai
ple Hill Stock Farm," in connection
with your farm business, all you need
to do is to use the name. Should you,
however, develop a particular brand of
farm product which you are putting on
the market under this name and wish
to protect it, you would make arship-
ment in interstate commerce, that is,
to a place in another state, using the
trade-mark on the shipment and send
a copy of the trade-mark to the patent
office at Washington for registration.
This would cost you a nominal sum.
Possibly a letter to the patent office
at Washington asking for directions in
regard to trade-marks would give you
the desired information, or you might
have the matter handled by the patent
lawyer. However, you need not go to
this trouble in case you simply wish
to adopt this name for your farm—E.

D. T. '

s

The mail box belonging to the seller
of the farm would probably be regard-
ed as a fixture passing with the farm,
and the purchaser could do with it as
he pleases. Each case of this kind
depends largely on its own facts.—

ORAL STATEMENTS IN MAKING

I took out insurance through an
agent who said that if I paid him a
certain sum of money I would be paid
up for a year The policy came, but

- I did not open the envelope until about

five months afterwards I received a
dunning card from the company stat-
ing that I owed them $4. 00. With the
policy was a paper stating that I
should pay no attention to what the
agent said about it being paid up. I
sent the policy back and now the com~
pany threatens to make me pay it with
costs.——J

hIABILITY ON NOTE.

 

 

A bought a share in B’s oil station.

. A gave a note. B signed the note A

hasn’t the money to pay it and the
bank will not take a renewal. Will A
have to pay the note, and can they
serve a judgment on A? Whatis best
for A to do? I bought an auto about
a year ago, and paid a monthly pay-
ment on it until December, 1921. Since
that I have not paid anything. I sign-
ed a note which the dealer had. I have
nothing but the car- Will I have to
pay for it, or can the dealer take the
car back? Can he serve a judgment
on me if I refuse to pay?—~

A is certainly liable on the note, and
judgment may be taken against him
for it; also on the contract for the car.
011 the judgment for the car the dealer
may sell the car on execution and if
any of the judgment remains, unpaid
he may take any other property he
can now or hereafter find belonging to
the debtor. Also, probably the contract
of sale provides that the seller may

., take back the car at any time that

payments are not kept tip—J. R. R.

CU LTIPACKER FOR WHEA‘F..

 

Is it safe to roll the wheat or rye in
the spring with a, cultipacker and what
good or harm will it d0?—H. W.

If the cultipacker is used early, but
after the soil has dried off just a little
on top, it should aid materially in
pressing the loosened soil close about
the rootlets of the plants and thereby
overcome to some degree the damage
done by heaving. Should the condition
of the soil make it difficult or impos-
sible to use the cultipacker a roller
or spike- tooth barrow may be employ-
ed when the soil is in proper mechan—
ical shape to carry a team. —-W.

WOOD FOR SILO.

 

I am thinking of building a silo this
summer.
trees which I could have cut in 2x6
boards, planed on both sides and
tongued/and grooved. I would like to
know if this would make a good silo?
I also have white pine that I could
make up in the same manner.—rR. H.

In regard to the construction of a
silo of balsam, I am advised by the
forestry department of the Michigan
Agricultural College that balsam is
very susceptible to decay and conse-
quently of little value in Silo construc-
don.

White pine sawed in 2x4 or 2x6-inch
widths, planed, tongued and grooved
could be used for the construction of
a silo and white pine has excellent
lasting properties for this kind of con-
struction. As a. measure of perma-
nence, however, I believe it would add
to the life of a pine silo to apply creo~

"sate as a preservative to all the sides

and'joints before the. silo is erected.
This is done with commerch silos by
a process of. forcing the preservative
into the wood under pressure, which,
of course, you could not do. However,
painting with creosote will afford some
measure of protection—H. H. M.

two counties. One of these men visit-

ea the farms on his list at intervals

similar to those of a cow tester. Some
of the results noted- in connection with
this work are as follows:

The net cost of producing an acre
of alfalfa in 1920 amounted to $23.17
This is the aVerage obtained on a yield
of 2.08 tons per acre on twenty-one
farms, on which'there was a. total of
386.5 acres of alfalfa. The net cost

I per acre on com was $28. 26, or sixty-
four cents per bushel. Twenty farms,

including 903.68 acres furnished this
average. Oats averaged 36.7 bushels

 

per acre, grown on sixteen farms which
had a total acreage of 289.5 acres. The
cost was $27.88 per acre, or seventy-
flve cents a bushel. Wheat cost $34.22
per acre, or $1.77 per bushel to produce
on eighteen farms, planted with 894
acres of wheat averaging 19.3 ”bushels
per acre. The .net ’cost of 100 pounds
of pork amounted to $13.08. The aver-
age cost of keeping one work horse for

the year amounted to $159.36.’ This

was found by averaging 140 horses on
twenty-two different farms.

These were the figures for'a partic-
ular locality. Those applying to other
localities could be worked out by fol-
lowing similar methods of averaging

if the farmers in any given 'district .

have kept their cost accounts in such
a way that they can be utilized.

 

TREES BY THE ROADSIDE.

 

IN reading the question submitted by
“E. R." in your'issue of March 18,
you will observe that he is somewhat
indefinite as to what he means by “out-
side‘of the fence or road line.” Will
you kindly inform your subscribers
that Act 2 of the first extra session of
the legislature of Michigan for the
year 1921 provides as follows:

“It shall be unlawful to cut, destroy
'or otherwise injure any shade or or-
.namental tree or shrub growing within
the limits of any public highway with-

in the state, of Michigan without the.

consent of the authorities having juris-
dictiOn over ‘such road; * * It shall
also be unlawful to affix to any such
tree or shrub any picture, announce
ment, notice or advertisement or to
negligently permit any animal to break
down or injure the same.”

‘ You’will, therefore, see that trees
growing within the sixty- -six rods or
highway limit are under the jurisdic-
tion of the highway commissoner on
township roads, the board of county
road commissioners on county roads,
and the state highway commissioner

on federal aided and state trunk line-

highways.

Considerable effort is being put forth
at this time to protect the shade trees
along the highway-and I trust that you

‘will make it plain in your‘ paper_so
that. others will not be misled by‘th'e
article referred to and herein enclosed.

OWNERS WERE ONCE TENANTS.

 

I OBSERVE the! attitude the editor
has takenon the farm tenant ques-
tion andI am just giving a. little testi:
munsr to show that at least in this

community- the owners of several,

farms had been tenants before they
were owners. I am acquainted with
the history of twenty-four farmers who
are now operating farms of their own

, and of these there are four who inher-

ited farms from their parents, four
more bought their farms outright,
while sixteen of the twenty-four were
tenants before they were owners. I
Was a little‘ skeptical on the matter of
farm tenancy before reading your edi-
tOrial, but since making this survey
of 0m community I now feel that you
did. not say all that might be said in
defense of the tenant system as a
means of acquiring farm lands—R5 VV.,
Gratiot’ County.

 

' PROTECTIVE TARIFF NEEDED.

 

E farmers must have a protec-

tive tariff in order to place the
product of our farms on the market at
a price that will pay adequate hire to
the producer. We can no longer com-
pete with the products of other indus-
tries when they are'highly protected
by a tariff.

Along this line we must make our
demands felt. This we can do best
through cooperation. The farm bureau
has been instrumental in laying a foun-
dation which has furnished conditions
for the formation of the “Farm Bloc.”
But to ‘make the “Bloc” effective we
must stand behind it. This is no time
to act like slackers. To move the load
along the line of justice we must get
our shoulders under the load and lift.
-—J. Thomas, Saginaw County.

THINKS A LITTLE PEP WILL
HELP.

 

TIME and again I have heard _it said
that one cannot make good upon
the farm. It is true that difficulties
come to us in all walks of life. But
if we sit still and complain and expect
things to move without a staitei we
sulely will not get far.

To my mind there is a way to get
the things that a reasonably ambitious
person desires. He must study, think,
reason and then act. Just make sure
that you are on the right road and
then put pep in your gait and you will
arrive sooner or.later.

Then, too, we must play the game
square. Many of us are extremely dis-
honest with M'other Nature. We take
and take from her without making a

can keep on with her generous contri
butions to us. If we just pep up this
good old Mother through good feeding,
her generosity will continue—J. H.

 

REGARDING RENTED LANDS.

 

S it practical to work out a farm
lease so that the fertility put on
‘the farm and the amount of plant food
taken ofi could be reckoned and these

in addition to certain fixed rentals? I
am at a less to know why a scheme of
this. kind cannot be worked out. If it
can it ought to get at the bottom of
one of the problems Connected with
our present farm tenant system. So
long as we have retired farmers who
will not sell their farms, so long we
shall have tenants, and we ought to
get farming by this plan on a strictly

should be charged for the farm. Then
when the tenant brought fertilizers on

the farm he should be given credit fOI‘ —

the elements centalned therein. He
should also be credited for the fertility
in all feeds brought on the’ farm and
fed there. Then when he sells a load
of hay, or of stem the average fertiliz-
ing elements contained in the products
sold should be charged up'to the ten-
ant. The same with butter and milk
and live stock. All allowances and
prices could be stipulated in the lease.

It would not be a difficult task to do
this and it certainly ought to encour-

age the tenant to retain and build up
the fertility of the farm upOn which
he wmks. The owner, too, would be
protected in that his tenant would not
be in a position to sell from~ the farm
twice the value of fertilizer that his
rent would buy, as is possible under
the present cash rent plan.

If you publish this in the Michigan
Farmer, from which I get many very
helpful suggestions, I should like to
have readers send in their opinions of
the plan suggested above—A. WISE-
MAN, Wayne County.

ROADSIDE TREES.

 

NOTE that J. R. R., who is evident-
ly the legal advisor for the Michi-
gan Farmer readers, advises that the

farm owner owns to the middle of the _

road and henCe has the right to cut
any trees growing alongside the road
without getting permission.

Allow me to call your attention to
the fpllowing. Some years ago there
was a law enacted which allowed prop«
erty owners to plant shade trees along
the road in front of the property and
thereby secure a. reduction in road tax
of so much per tree planted, I think it
was one dollar per tree; am not sure
about that. Many farmers in this coun‘
ty took advantage of that law and
planted trees along the roads.

Now our county road commissioners

~claim that the state owns the trees.

They have served printed notice on all
property owners in the county that the
cutting of such trees is unlawful and
anyone cutting such roadside trees will
be prosecuted. If that IS true of this
county, Berrien, then it, is true of 5111
Who is right.

Possibly that law applied only to this
county. I much prefer J. R. R.’s in-
terpretation of the law but I want to
know for sure—L. B. REBER.

HOLDING TWO OFFICES.

 

IN your April 1 issue of the Michigan
Farmer I observe a. question asked
by T. W. in the Service Department,
as to whether or not a man~ has the,
right to hold the office of township
clerk and school directorship at the
same time.

Inasmuch as J. R. R. has failed to
find anything in the statutes forbid-
ding the holding of these two oflices
at the same time I refer you to Sec-
tion 983 of the 1919 township officers
guide, this being Section 5929 of the
compiled laws of 1915 which reads as
follows:

“The several township ofl‘icers shall
be ineligible to election as members
of the board of education during the
term for which they were elected, and

any votes cast for such township ofli -

cers for members of the board of edu‘
cation shall be v01d ”

oi of his department of sol-ion
ture or plans fer crop insurance has
developed the following fundamental

. ‘ prhiéiwples:

The insurance muSt cover only. such
crop damage zas will bring serious

I financial 10133 to the farmer. ‘
Any and all hazards which are be-

yond the control of the farmer must
be covered by the insurance.

Loss due to carelessness or negli-
gence must in no case be protected by
the insurance. ‘ .

The overhead cost of the insurance
must be moderate in order that the
bulk of the premiums may be made

 

available for current lossesand in fav-
orable years for additions to a reserve
for the payment of future losses.

'The insurance company should not‘
profit by loss to the.farmer through re-
duced prices for farm products:

Where crops are a total loss, the
adjustment should not exceed the val!
no of the labor, rental and other costs
that are actually lost to the insured in
connection .with the crop.

All adjustments involving only par-
tial damage should, so far as possible,
be left until the crop is prepared for
marketing.

Finally, crop insurance must be
bought merely as aguarantee against
serious loss, and net with the idea of
securing an indemnity every two or
three years.

GREATER RESPECT OF LAW 18
NEEDED.

 

HE’crime wave, aided by lax law
enforcement and an apparently

-growing disrespect for law and order,

which has swept over the country
since the World War, is the subject of

'considerable discussion in congress.

The time is believed to be ripe for the

. promotion of a widespread sentiment
looking toward the more respectful ob-

servance of law.

In the senate a few days ago, Sena-
tor Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, said he
thought that “one of the most import-

ant subjects 'that can possibly engage .

the attention of the American people
is the question'of enforcement of law.
Lincoln well said, ‘Let‘ reverence for
the law become the political religion
of the nation. 'Let the old and the
young, the grave and the gay, sacrifice
unceasingly on its altars.’ If this re-
public is to live; it will live through
respect for the law. This is a govern—
ment of law and order. Either the
law must'be respected 'or we shall de-
scend into the weltering chaos of the
mob. We shall stand on the rock of
law enforcement or be swallowed up
in the quiCksands of lawlessness.”

POTATO SI'I IPPING RESTRICTIONS.

 

Under; a revision of its regulations
now effective, the. federal horticultural
board permits the importation of. pota-
toes- only from countries free from po-
tato wart or other injurious potato dis-

. cases and insect pests new to or not

widely distributed in this country.

Potash for Swamp Land

OES the corn grown on your

swamp or muck land look like
the large ear or likethe small one? The
small one shows the kind of corn pro-
duced on potash hungry muck‘land.
When 100 to 200 lbs. per acre of
Muriate of Potash, or 400 to .800 lbs.
of Kainit, are broadcasted on potash
hungry muck, full yields of sound corn
are produced.

For onions, on such lands, 100 to 200 lbs.
per acre of Sulfate of Potash is the
right amount to produce full yields of
sound onions that ripen normally and
keep well.

With potatoes and truck crops, like
results are obtained.

Even at war prices potash gavea good profit
on swamp lands. Now it can be bought for
Very much less. It will help you reduce the
cost of production, and greatly improve the
quantity and quality of your crops. There
is plenty of it if ' you will take the trouble to
insist on having it.

, NEW METHOD crumbluo‘PLATs

OF LICE.

 

OR many years the writer has kept
from fifty to one hundred or more
flowering- plants of- various kinds. It
has always been a continual struggle
to keep them free of the pesky little
green and white lice that are forever

' attempting to devour them.

The Monarch Primrose, the Ever-
blooming Palargoniurns, or otherwise
known as the Lady Washington Ger-
aniums, the Fuchias and the Aspara-
gus Ferns are all attacked by one or
the other, and sometimes both of these
kinds of lice. .

Many different kinds of sprays have
been used with little or no effect.
Some of these are sulpho-tobac'co soap,
hellibore, and even Paris green in so-
lution.

Having successfully used a prepara-
tion containing pyrethrum powder to
destroy flies and mosquitoes, the writ-
er conceived the idea of using it to
destroy the plant lice previously men-
tioned.

Knowing that this preparation con-
tained about seventy-five per cent of
pyrethrum pewder which is sure death
to any insect, she was fully assured of
success before a trial was given.

The very first application of the
powder practically killed them all. The
pesky little things simply disappeared
as if by magic. Of course, it has been
necessary to repeat the treatment
three or four times since as‘ the pow-
der does not destroy the eggs, but none
of the other previous preparations ac-
complished this either. To obtain the
best results it is necessary to blow
the powder underneath the leaves and
along the stems of the plants. This is
readily accomplished, however, as the
powder comes in a box purposely con-
structed and operates as a bellows to
blow the powder wherever desired. It
lsure does the work—just try it. >

OW about that asparagus bed?
Are you still putting off planting
it? Of course, that is an easy way out
lof the difficulty, but not a very pro-
ductive way. Yes, certainly. If you
'do not like that delicious vegetable
there is no use in wasting good ground
by planting it to such"’a‘ weed. But
are you perfectly square with yourself
when you say that you don't like it?
If there was a patch of nice green
succulent asparagus in our garden
would we pass it by? Wouldn’t we
sneak out a few stalks and ask the
“Queen of the Kitchen" to cream them
for supper, or give us a few on toast

' to eke out that otherwise tasteless

breakfast? You bet we would. ~

’Fess up, now, and then order at
least two dozen roots. Better get a
hundred, they come cheaper that way
and you can always sell your surplus
at a good profit. You’ll want plenty
for canning, too, it’s fineinthe winter.

Pick out a nice sheltered place where
the plants will peep out at the first
signs of spring, and after plowing in
a heavy dressing of manure, open up
a six-inch furrow and let the sun warm
it up in readiness for those plants that
They can
be planted any time after the ground
thaws out:

Or, better still, if you wish to give
them an extra kindly reception, you
dig a trench about eighteen inches
deep; fill ithalf full of manure: cover
it to within six inches of the top of
the, trench and. set the plants, about

for, harvest and the New Jersey section
caters largely. to nearby" cities so is
not to be considered much of a com-
peting factor.

It is apparent from the foregoing
that there is less danger. of an over-
production from competing territories
than has. been experienced in the past.
In fact, it is doubtful if the total pro-
duction‘ of peaches for the United
States in four or five years "from now
will be as great as the average for the
past few years. . ,

It appears that peach orcharding of-
fers a better future to the man think-
ing of planting at this time than ‘any
other fruit. It is fully realized that
the peach industry is mere or less of a
gamble; that a severe winter may en-
tirely ruin an orchard; that there is
always a big chance of a crop failure
due to late frost; that leaf curl, brown

' rot or curculio may be responsible for
a crop failure or render a crop prac-
tically worthless; that transportation
facilities are not fully satisfactory, and
that a peach grower always runs a
chance of overstocking some market.
But, does a fruit grower have less to
contend with, all things considered,
when growing other crops, apples ex-
cepted?

Indiscriminate planting of peach or-
chards should be discouraged. Such
plantings have to a considerable ex-
tent been responsible for the present
lack of interest in peach production.
Peaches should beplanted only on the
best sites with favorable soil condi-
tions. The least bit of encouragement
should not be given to the farmer
whose .site could be regarded as fair.
We can not overemphasize this matter
of site, especially in reference to air
drainage and comparative freedom.
from frosts.

We must also bear in mind that no
tree fruit is as insistent in its de~
mands for thorough cultivation as is
the peach. With the apple we have a
choice of several systems of culture,
any one of which will bring fairly good
results; but in the case of the peach,
if we‘even partially neglect'cultivation
for a season, the effects are quite no~
ticeable. Certainly 'many of the less
profitable peach orchards of Michigan
are in such a state because of neglect
of cultivation when other matters
seemed more pressing. A peach or-
chard shows the results of neglect
quicker than any other tree fruitand,
if‘taken in hand in time, will respond
to kind treatment and recover quicker
than other tree fruits.

A peach orchard near Benton Har-
bor that consists of an almost perfect
stand of trees thirtyltwo years old
demonstrates clearly what good man-
agement will do for peaches. The trees
are fun very vigorous condition and
give promise of several years of use-
fulness. This orchard has been far
more profitable than other orchards
six to ten, years‘old belonging to the
same man. It has had thorough cul-

tivation, , fertilization and cover crops,

annually for a number of years. Cer-
tainly this is an example of what can
be accomplished with peaches on a
good site and with proper manage-
ment. -

uation; the more convinced he must.

become that there is a "wonderful fu-

ture in it forthe man whovwill plant.

‘ most of a shop a man should be handy

With a well- equipped shop, there are
many things that a farmer can do. For

to take it to town, but decided to see

hours of my time on a rainy day to fix

It is hard to say what tools the farm-
er needs. In a, repair kit I carry a riv- '
sting hammer, monkey wrench, some
drop forge wrenches of different sizes,

. a set of drills and a brace, bolts and
, , , . rivets. If machinery must be taken to

‘ ‘ vice is required. One also should have

a. good handsaw, ripsaw and plane. If
iron is to be worked, it is usually well
to have a good hacksaw, some cold

threads are often spoiled on bolts.-

good as their intentions may be they
make repairs essential to buildings,
yards; gates and fences. Horses will
.wear out their shoes, and the shoes
wear out the stable floors, and some-
times mangers and partitions call for
their share of attention as well. The
harnesses need a thorough cleaning
and oiling after their seasonal expos-
ure to rains and mud, and the grown-
out hoofs need trimming.

It is the poor dilapidated fence that
makes the breachy cow. I never knew
a reasonably wellvfed cow to interfere
seriously with a reasonably good fence,
unless she had gotten the habit in the
beginning from experience with a very
poor fence. Often have I thought
while viewing a perfectly tame cow

‘ with half a. barn frame (or something

similar) built around her neck, (I saw
three .in one herd recently),‘if the
owner had as much brains as the cow
and had- spent asi‘much energy in re-o

at this worknow may save. weeks be-
fore the summer is over.

We also find the present a good time .
to handle the young bulls and teach
them to lead. If the calves are tied up
for a few days and led out to wa‘ter
and back to feed they soon learn the
lesson, and once learned they never
forget it. It is much easier on both
man and beast if this lesson is taught
while the animals are small. They
learn that, man is the stronger and in
spite of their later‘growth and great
development of strength ,may never
know any better. It is important in
bringing up the calves that. they be
handled kindly but firmly. They will
learn to welcome the touch of a kindly
hand, and have confidence in it if tak-
en in hand early in life, and the added
value is all out of. proportion to the
cost. _

And the hogs, yes, they are destruc-
tive creatures, too, and creatures of
habit. They take small pride in pre‘
serving intact their habitation, and
their disrespect for weak fences is a
matter of common knowledge. But
their commonly known trait of crawl<
ing under fences is composed of ten
per cent curiosity and ninety per cent
habit. That little" speck of natural
curiosity is enough to propel a pig
through any avenue that offers an easy
exit. Once started the habit grows
rapidly and when once solidly formed
is very hard to break. An ounce of
prevention in this case is worth sev-
enal pounds of cure, so the best rem-
edy is to 'beat the pig to the hole.
Stretch the fence tight, fasten it close
to the ground and often, and close up
the holes securely, and follow up your
work occasionally to see that they re-
main closed.

All of these things in addition to
hauling the manure when the fields are
fit, pruning the trees, the hedge, the
grapes, planting more trees, laying tile
here and there, “and other things too
numerous to mention,” you will find
being carried out on Francisco Farm
should you drop in during these early
spring days.

CHOOSE PLACE FOR NATIONAL}

LIME BADLY NEEDED.

N making 275 soil tests in thirteen

counties in southern Wisconsin, only
two fields were found that were not
sour. More than half of the fields
needed from four to five tons of lime
to the acre to put the land in-good'
shape for growing legumes. In former
years lime was abundant in these Wis‘
cousin counties and the failure of clo-
ver was almost unknown. Withinthe
past ten years, however, winter killing
has become very cemmon. Where lime
has been used this winter-killing,
which has chant-been blamed to ex-
posure or to smothering by ice,=has

been stopped.

A QUACK- GRASS FIGHT—AND IT
ENDED RIGHT.

\

HERE was a fourteen-acre field- of

quack-grass sod on my place when
I purchased it. Not being very well
acquainted with this perennial grass
I plowed the field, putting in ten acres
of beans and four acres of buckwheat.
It was a cold damp summer for beans,
I found out by experience, and when
fall camel had cultivated the quack to
its benefit; with a failure of crops.

This opened my eyes on} the quack-
grass proposition. As several persons
said it could not be ,exterminated, the
following spring I got busy. Of course,
as the old proverb says, “Where there
is a will there is a way.”

. Noticing the nature of the plant,
that it is a surface plant and when let
alone will not root over four or five
inches deep. I set the plow shallow
and plowed three and a half acres
crosswise through the part of the field
Where the heaviest sod was. Then I
really began the fight. First I thought
I would use the disk but upon making

~ one round I decided it would cut the

roots so fine I could not get them har-
rowed out on top of the ground. so I
quit with the disc and tried the spring-
tooth harrow; this bothered me by
clogging but I harrowed the piece once
and as soon as I harrowed it I went
over it with the horse rake. I pre-
sume I raked up a ton or more of the
roots. When they had dried a few
days I bunched and burned them.

I noticed within a few days the har-
row did not do thorough work as there

were many green sprouts coming up.

I borrowed a double shovel plow and

. had one of my own, both having new

shovels. I took a two-by-four and a
couple of— bolts and clamped. the two
together, bolted the two inside handles
together and made a drawbar. I put
a. team'to this rig and held it steady
by the handles; this dug as deep as
plowed and was light to handle when
clogged. This riggwas a success. I
used it twice, following each time with
.the rake, then I used the spring-tooth
I managed to
stir thes‘oil about once a week all sum.

I raised none'the summer befOre and

By the first week in September the
quack gave up the job and I sowed to
rye and vetch. I had rye seven feet
tall at the best and threshed twenty-

Harvest-Time Preparedness

GRICULTIIRE, the basic business of America, ap-
proaches its busy season with fair weather signals set.
Farm prices have climbed higher and general tarm-

'ing conditions are looking upward. Balmy days are at hand,

bringing cheerfulness to the countryside. It is time for the
farmer to arm himself with eflicient tool and profitable method.

McCORMICK- DEERING
F arm Operating Equipment

awaits~ your inspection at the store of the McCormick-

_ .Deering Dealer. The old reliable quality can be depended

upon. and the prices will reflect the sincere efforts that have
been made to supply you with the best equipment at satis-
factory figures.

When dependable tools have put your crops in the
ground, begin at once to safeguard every step of the way
until the harvest is in. Make an early survey of your
machines—do it today—so that hay time and harvest may
find you ready. As generations before have done. place
your reliance in McCormick and Deerin g binders and mowers
and add to the pleasure and security of the harvest by using
binder twine bearing the same names. McCormick, Deering,
and International twines sell this year at the lowest prices

» quoted in over five years. The spread today between these

highest-quality binder twines and inferior brands is so
small that no farmer can afford to take chances.

Do not permit the emergency economies that have been
necessary in recent years to impair your good judgment now.
Where repairs have carried your machines long beyond their
ordinary life of usefulness, replace them with the best that
today’ 3 .manufacturing skill can provide. Our seasonable

« machines, di3played by all McCormick-Deering dealers. will

help you to farm more profitably this year.

‘AN. APPLE ORCflARD EXPERI-
ENCE.

 

SIXTEEN years ago the writer movi
ed to his present farm from Illinois.
This farm contained twenty-five acres
and there were fifty-eight large, trees'
on it. The following year we set cud
first apple orchard of ,five acres, with
the trees set twenty feet each way.
They were kept cleanly cultivated until
six years old and at this time we had

beernthere ever since. Each year an
application of sulphate of ammonia or
nitrate of soda and what poultry ma-
nure we have, is used.

At six years old this orchard paid
$68 per acre; at‘seven years old $100
pen acre; in 1919 it paid $240 per acre,
and in 1920 $220 per acre. It has never
fallen below $100 per acre since it was
six years old.

When this orchard was set trees
were pruned to three or four branches
and no pruning was done until bearing
time, and. from then on they have had
an annual moderate trimming. We
found that we could get our trees into
bearing much quicker by keeping the
knife out of them.

The greatest mistake any orchardist
makes is ‘heading young trees back as
they cut off the fruit spurs each year.’
We now have twelve acres in apples
iand we had a four-year-old Jonathan
orchard last year that averaged half
;a bushel per tree. These trees never
‘have been pruned and will be put into
sod at six yea1s of age.

Our Weé/y Sermon—~By N A. Mchme

PON entering the tomb, they saw-

a young man sitting at their right
hand, clothed‘in a .long white
robe. They were astonished and ter-
rified, but he said unto them, ‘Do not
be terrified. It istesus you are look-

ing forethe Nazarene who has been;
Ecrucified. He has come back to lite.
He is not here'.”

There is something
very beautiful in this story as St. Mark
tells it, of the young man in the'empty
tomb. Matthew says an angel 'was
there when the women came to the

sepulchre, Luke says it was two men,
. in flashing apparel, but Mark says it

was a young man. It is not the idea

that these versions are contradictory.

One thing is cer-
tain, the Women,
' going out at day-
break or before,
nervous,» fearful,

great love for the
dead Master, saw
someone there, of
angelic appear-
ance. In their ex-
citement and ter-
ror, it is not sur-
prising that it
should have been reported as one an-
gel in one case, and two in another.
But Mark’s version is, that it was a
young man. And of all places in the
world. is it not a beautiful symbol, this
young man in the tomb? And is it not
a. fitting symbol of the genius‘and
power of Christ’s message? Eternal
youth, the youth that men have sought
for and missed, the youth that advent
turers have spent their lives and for-
tunes in search of, is to be found in
the deathless message of Easter morn-
ing. It became the rallying cry of the
early church, it Was the passion that
sustained the apostles, this memory of
an' empty tomb, and of a risen Lord.

 

The resurrection was the burden of"

the early'teachers and preachers. _It
was such an unheard-of doctrine that
it challenged attention at once. It
either was snified at, as men shrugged
their shoulders when they heard Paul
in Athens, or it was so welcome a
teaching that it was embraced. The
resurrection did, not have an easy time
in being received. It was too hard to
believe. It simply did not seem pos-
sible. It was cohtrary to all known
laws. Much as mankind would love
to believe it, it was something difficult
to swallow. It is so still, by many.
Many would pass by the resurrection
and accept the principles of love and
good will of Christianity. But while
that is much to be preferred to indiff-
erence and apathy, it is at best but a”
partial Christianity. After all, human-
ity cries out after something certain
concerning the after-life. Said a man
to another, “I would give all I possess-
ed if I only knew that i would see my
daughter again.” That is precisely
what a first-century Christian would
have been‘ sure about. He would have
had no doubts but that he would see

’his child in the next world. The rest

urrection gave men just that degree of
confidence and hope, and it still does.

" x
\

HEN -yotr’stop to think of it,

there is no great historical event
that is better proven than the resur-
rection of Jesus Christ. Against re-
ligions already established, againSt the
influence of men in high position, the
story of the resurrection spread. Men
and women suffered death in its de«
tense. Between 150 and 175 ‘A. D., a,
brief statement of what Christians be-
lieved was in circulation. It has since
been'ealied the Apostles Creed, tIiOugh
it is not known just where it originat-

yet filled with a

e1 Almighty; and in Christ Jesus His
only begotten Son. our Lord, who was
born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin”
Mary, crucified under Pontius Pil/te
and buried; the third day He rose from
the dead. ascended into the heavens,
being seated at the right. hand of the
Father, whence he shall come to judge
the living and the dead; . and-in the
Holy Spirit, hold church,» forgiveness
of sins, resurrection of the flesh."
Easter brings new hope and courage
to all believing hearts. It is the as-
surance that we shall see once more
our beloved dead, who have gone on
into the kingdom of light. A poor man,
the father of a large family of chil-
dron. lost one 61’ his little boys by
drowning. At the“ funeral, he said to
me, “One of the things a man has to
look forward to, is. that some day he
will see these little tellers again.”

A reader asks: “What does setting
light by father or mother mean, Dent.
26:16?” This passage is! similar to
others in the pentateuch, and refers to
disrespect toward parenLS. See the
Fifth Commandment, Exodus 20:12.
Under the old Mosaic law anyone curs-
ing or smiting father or mother was to
be put to death, Lev._20:9. Another
reader writes the following. “I have
been a reader of this 'paper and wodld
not do without it, as it has saved me
more than its cost. I see you are an-
swering questions on the Bible. I
would like to know if there is any
command for keeping Sunday. And
when was the change made, and for
what reason, I am asking for knowl—
edge and not for argument. An argu—
ment doesn’t give_mnch love for the
faith. Is a man prohibited from preach-
ing funeral sermons and preaching
when he does not unite with a denom-
ination? Are the ten commandments
for the people of today?”

THIS gentleman is right about ar-
gument not begetting love for the
faith. I do not desire to. argue, as was
stated when questions were first an-
swered in this department. The best
answer at the writer’s command will~
be given. and the inquirer is at liberty
to reject it if he elects to do so. The
day is paist (we hope) when we fight
over doctrine. “Speaking the truth in
love,” was Paul’s way. About the ob-
servance of Sunday: There is no spe-
cific command to do so. The practice
of keeping the first day of the week.
grew up gradually because Christianity
was a new faith. ‘It ceased to be Jud-
aism, and was something new. Christ’s
resurrection occurred on Sunday. The
great leaders of the church, the early
reformers, for instance, felt that Sun-
day or the Lord’s Day is not to be
identified with the fourth Command
ment. St. Paul does not believe in
making a particular day as the day of
woxship as of great importance. “One
man esteems one day more highly
than another; another esteems every
day alike. Let everyone be thorough
1y convinced in his own mind. He who
regards the day as sacred, so regards
it for the Master’s sake,” Romans
14:5,6. See also, Galatians 4:9,10 and
other passages. Of course, those who
are not Christians would not be ex.
pected to observe Sunday, unless it
might be as a. matter of form.. A per-
son observing Sunday as a day of rest
and worship does so in honor of his
Master. There is no law in the United
States that I know of, that wimld pre:
vent you from preaching, if you can
get someone to preach to, though you
are not, the member of a denomination
The ten commandments are for today,
as is all the Old Testament, as far as
its remoral “swimmers concerned. it 7‘

ETTERS of inquiry and applica-
tions for registration have been
coming in for some time, and so
many questions are asked that the

' writer finds it diflicult to answer all Of .

them promptly. This announcement
will give much of. the general infor-
mation desired by those who wish to
go on one or both tours next August.

The tour to Niagara Falls starts on
Sunday, July 30, when the tourists and
their cars and equipment will gather
in George B. Horton’s famous cow pas-
ture at Fruit Ridge, the same as last
We will camp there until Tues:
day morning, August 1. Sunday after-
noon, evening and all day Monday we
will have a fine and ’varied grange and
community program, which will be .in
charge of George B. Horton. We have
appointed Mr. Horton chairman of the
tour program committee and he will
join With the officials in charge of en-
tertainment of our big caravan and
camp in each of the cities and com-
munities where the writer has made
arrangements in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York and Michigan.

Fruit Ridge Grange, Lenawee Po-
mona and the city of Adrian will join
in a big community rally and program
on Monday, July 31. The Battle Creek
Community Club idea of “Busting the
City Limits” will be explained by lead-
ing officials of the Battle Creek organ-
ization, and Mr. Horton suggests that
a similar organization be formed in
Fruit Ridge Grange Hall that shall
bind the city of Adrian and the com—
munity into bonds of better under-
standing and good fellowship.

Tuesday morning at eight o’clock
the caravan starts for Fremont, Ohio,
where we will camp on the fine fair
grounds over night. That city and the
farm organizations of that section will
receive us and join in a fine evening
program. Wednesday we drive to Ak-
ron, where we will camp two nights
and have a big Grange rally'and com-
munity gathering. We have already

\ made complete arrangements with the

 

 
  
 
    
  
 
   

 

city and civic officials of Akron, Sum-
mit ‘county Granges, and the officials
of these organizations are going to sur-
prise our tourists with an ideal enter-
tainment. .

The city of Akron gave us a fine re-
ception when we passed through there
last year. We were met at the city
limits. by the most prominent city offi-
cials and business men and given a
special escort through the business
section in charge of a dozen motorcy-
cle policemen. And the same plan
was followed in every big city we pass-
ed through and in which we camped.
Mayors, chiefs of police, superintend-
ents of parks,‘presidents and secretar-
ies of chambers of commerce, Rotary,
Kiwanis and other clubs escorted our
caravan, through the business’streets,
while hundreds of camaries and sev-
eral motion picture machines filmed
our movements and camps. These
films have been shown in theaters all

‘ over the'United States, and this is one

reason why we are overwhelmed with
inquiries from Plymouth Rock to the
Golden Gate as to just how we organ-
-_ize and conduct these tours. '
From Akron we drive on Friday to
Mercer, Pennsylvania, by way of Ra-
venna, Warren, Ohio and Sharon. Sat-
urday to Jamestown, New York, on
the shore of Lake Chautauqua. We
may stay over Sunday at Chautauqua,
then drive through Buffalo to Niagara
Falls 'on' Monday. Briefly stated, we
‘will stay at the Falls two days and
three nights, spending one day riding
on the Niagara Gorge electric route
.downthe’ river to Lake Ontario and

 

he ferry over to Toronto for

General Arrangement: Already Made

Brown

camp at the Falls late in the afternoon.“
Return route will be by way of Buf-
falo, Erie, (camp over night), Cleve-

land, Sandusky and stop at Fremont

fair grounds'the last night.._of the tour.
Camp over night also at Cleveland, at
Edgewater Park, same as last year.

The Michigan Farmers’ Automobile ‘

Tour of 1922 up the west pike to Mack-
inac will gather at Battle Creek on
Thursday, August 17, for a two-days"
camp. This will also include a reun-
ion of all the tourists Who have taken
one Or more tours since the first one
of 1920, and includes the pioneer tour-
ists up the east and west pikes to
Mackinac and the Soo. '

Like the. initial camps and programs
at the Horton Farm and Fruit Ridge
GrangetHall as the gathering place for
the tourists for our eastern tours, so
will have the big gathering and meet-
ing be at Battle Creek. The big day
will be on Friday, August 18, and Mr.
Horton and the Battle Creek Commu-
nity Club will have charge of the
speaking program. Mr. Horton will be
invited to come to Battle Creek in the
near future to give an address before
the big club dinner in the Masonic
Temple as the speaker of the day. At
that time he will confer with the city
and .farm- organizations special pro-
gram committee and complete details.

On Friday, August 18, there will be
gathered in and around Battle Creek,
and especially around our big Caravan
camp on the old country club golf
grounds, the greatest gathering of
farmers and city business men and
women ever seen in southern Michi-
gan. It is the regular date of the Com-
munity Club meeting and dinner, and
every one of the thousands who visit
Battle: Creek that day will go home
knowing more about how the first big
and wonderfully successful city and
country community club was organized
and how it works. The tourists with
their cars in the big military camp,
fully equipped with tents, beds, cook.
ing and eating outfits, with baggage
trucks, complete lighting plant, fire de-
partment truck, motion picture equip—
ment, portable observation tower, con-
stant police patrol in the camp square
and streets day and night, will be a

sight to thousands who have never .

seen anything like it before. It goes
without saying that Friday, August 18,
will be a day in Battle Creek that ev-
ery one of our Michigan Farmers’ Au-
tomobile Tour tourists will never for-
get. ,
The west pike tour from Battle
Creek will be described more fully lat-
er on. Saturday morning the caravan
leaves the Battle Creek camp for
South Haven, stopping one hour at the

‘R. F. D. Monument at Climax in the

morning. ’We are going to have 3. won—
derful tour and fine times with South
Haven, Muskegon, Manistee, Traverse
City and other folks in and around our
camps in those cities. And we will
have fine roads and sights all the way
to Mackinac.

About seventy-five cars are already
registered for the 1922 tours. Some
are going over both routes. we shall
have to limit the number for the Falls
tour soon. Prospective tourists should
write soon to us atBattle Creek if they
wish to join either tour. Last year we
1efused one hundred and sixty- one cars
and had one hundred and twenty- one
registered _ in the tour while on the
way to Pittsburgh, Uniontown and
Wheeling.

Those whom Eaton had fought in
the room had had perfect opportunity
for killing Santoine, if they wished.
He had stood first in the dark with
the electric torch in his hand; then he
had been before them in the light after
Blatchford had entered. But Santoine
felt certain that ho one had made any
attack upon him at any moment in the
room; he had had no feeling, at'any
instant, that any of the shots fired had
been directed at him. Blatchford, too,
had been unattacked until he had
made it plain that he had recognized
one of the intruders; then, before
Blatchford could call the name, he had
been shot down. . '

It was clear, then, that what had
protected Santoine was his blindness;
he had ‘no doubt that, if he had been
able to see and recognize the men in
the room after the lights were turned
on, he would have been shot down
also. But Santoine recognized that
this did not fully account for his im-
munity. Two weeks before, an attack
which had been meant for Eaton had
struck Santoine instead; and no furth-
er attempt against Eaton had been
made until it had become‘publicly
known that Santoine was not going to
‘die. If Santoine’s death would have
served for Eaton’s death two weeks
before, why was Santoine immune
now? Did possession of the contents
of Santoine’s safe accomplish the same
thing as Santoine’s death? Or more
than his death for these men? For
what men?

It was not, Santoine was certain,
Eaton’s presence in the study which
had so astounded Blatchford; Wallace
and Eaton had passed days together,
and Blatchford was accustomed to Ea-
ton’s presence'in the house. Some one
whom” Blatchford knew and whose
name Santoine would also know and
whose presence in the room was so
strange and astonishing that Blatch-
ford had tried to prepare Santoine for
the announcement, had been there.
The man whose name was on Blatch-
ford’s tongue, or the companion of that
man, had shot Blatchford rather than
let Santoine hear the name.

The blind man stirred upon his bed.

“Do you want something, Mr. San-
toine?” the nurse asked. The blind
man did not answer. He was begin-
ning to find these events fit them-
selves together; but they fitted imper-
fectly as yet.

Santoine knew that he lacked the
key. Many men could profit by pos-
sessing the contents of Santoine’s
safe and might have shot Blatchford
rather than let Santoine know their
presence there; it was impossible for
Santoine to tell which among these
many the man who had been in the
"study might be. Who Eaton’ s enemies

~——-or at most one small group of men'—

who could be at the same time Eaton’s
enemy and Sa'ntoine's..To have known
who Eaton was would have pointed

The blind man lay upon his back, his
open, sightless eyes unwinking in the
intensity of his thought.

.Gabriel Warden had had an appoint-

have' restrained from coming forward
later to tell why Warden had been kill-
ed. He had been urged to come for-
ward and promised that others would
give him help in Warden’s place; still,
he had concealed himself. This must
mean that others than Warden could
not help Eaton; Eaton evidently: did
not know, or else could not hope :to
prove, what Warden had discovered.
Santoine held this thought in abey—

 

ment with the young man who had
come from Asia and who—Warden had
told his Wife—he had discovered lately
had been greatly wronged. Eaton, un-
der Conductor Connery’s questioning,
had admitted himself to be_ that young
.man; Santoine had verified this and

had learned that Eaton was, at least,,

theyoung man who had gone to War-
den’s house that night. But Gabriel
Warden had not been allowed to help
Eaton; so far from that,'he had not.
even been allowed to meet and talk
with Eaton; he had been [called out,
plainly, to prevent his meeting Eaton,
and killed.

Eaton disappeared and concealed
himself at once after Warden’s mur-
der, apparently fearing that he would
also be attacked. But Eaton was not
a man whom this personal fear would

ance; he would see later how it check-
ed with the facts.

Eaton had remained in Seattle—or.
near Seattle—eleven days ;_ apparently

he had been able to conceal himself
and to escape attack durin’g that-time.
He had been obliged, however, to re-
veal himself when he took the train;
and as soon~ as possible a desperate
attempt had been made against him,
which, through mistake, had struck
down Santoine instead of Eaton. This
attack had been made under circum-
stances which, if it'had been success-
ful, would have made it improbable
that Eaton’s murderer could escape. It
had not been enough, then, to watch
Eaton and await opportunity to attack
him; it had“‘been necessary to attack
him at once, at any cost.

The attack having reached San-

toine instead of Eaton, the necessity
for immediate attack upon Eaton, ap-
parently, had ceased to exist; those
who followed Eaton had thought it
enough to watCh him and wait fora

more favorable opportunity. But as
soon as it was publiclykn0wn that

Santoine had not been killed ' but Was~

getting well, then Eaton had again
been openly and daringly attacked.
The reason for the desperate chances
taken to attack Eaton, then, was that
he was near Santoine.

Santoine’ 3 hands clenched as he reo-
ognized this.

Eaton had taken the train at Seattle
because Santoine was. on it; he had
done this at great risk to himself San-
toine had told Eaton that there were
but four' possible reasons why he could
have taken the train in the manner he
did, and two of those reasons later had
been eliminated. The two possibili~
ties which remained'were that Eaton
had‘taken the train to inform Santoine
of something or to learn‘something

from him. But Eaton had had ample .

opportunity since to inform Santoine
of anything he wished; and he had not;
only not informed him of anything, but
had refused consistently and determ.
inedly to answer any of Santoine's
questions. It was to learn something
from Santoine, then, that Eaton had
taken the train.

The blind man turned upon his bed:
he was finding that these events fitted
together perfectly. He felt certain now:
that Eaton had’gone to Gabriel War-
den expecting to get from Warden
some information that he needed, and
that to prevent Warden’s giving him
this, Warden had been killed. Then

7

Warden’s death had caused Santoine "

to go to Seattle and take charge on
many of Warden’s affairs; Eaton had
thought that the information which
had been in Warden’s possesison
might now be in Santo'ine’s; Eaton,
therefore, had followed SantOine Onto.
the train

Santoine had not had the informa-
tion Eaton required, and he could act
even imagine yet what the nature of
that information could be. This was
not because ‘he was. not familiar
enough with Wa‘rden’s affairs; it-was
because he was too familiar with them;
Warden had been concerned in a hun-
dred enterprises, Santoine had no way
of telling‘which of this hundred had
concerned Eaton. He certainly could
recall no case in which a man of Ea-
ton’s age and class had been so terri-
bly wronged that double murder would
have been resorted to for-the conceal-
ment of the facts.
that, in his familiarity with Warden’s
affairs, he had probably been in a. posi-
tion to, get the information} if he had
known what— specific matters it con-
cerned. That, then, had been the reg;-

Those who had followed Eaton had
known that Santoine could get this in-

' formation; that accounted for all that

had taken place on the train. It ac-
counted for the subsequent attack on
Eaton when it became known that San-
It accounted
also—Santoine was breathing quickly
as he recognized this-for the invasion
of his study and the forcing of the safe
last night.

The inference was plain that some-
thing which would have given San-
toine the information Warden had had
and which Eaton now required had
been broughtth Santoine’ house and
put in Santoine’s safe. It was to get
possessionof this ”something” before
it had reached Santoine that the safe
had been forced.

Santoine putout his hand and .press-
ed a bell. A servant came to the door.

“Will you find Miss Santoine,” the
“and ask her to
corne here?” '

The servant withdrew.

Santoine waited. Presently the door
again opened, and he heard his daugh-
ter’s step. -

“Have you listed what was taken
from the safe, Harriet?” Santoine
asked. ' '

“Not yet, Father.”

The blind man thought an instant.
“Day before yesterday, when I asked
you to take charge for the present of
the correspondence Avery has looked
after'for me, what did you do?”

“Iput it in my own safe—the one
that was broken into last night. But
none of it was taken; the bundles of
letters were pulled out of the safe, but
they had not been opened or even dis-
turbed.”

“I know. It was not that I meant.”
Santoine thought again. “Harriet,
something has been brought into the
the manner of keeping
something in the house had been
changed—within a very few days—-
since the time, I think, when the at-
tempt to run Eaton doivn with the
motor—car was made. *What' was that
‘something’?” '

His daughter reflected. ”The draft.
of the new agleement about the Lat-
ron properties and the lists of stock-
holders in‘ the properties which came

‘ thlough Mr. Warden’s office,” she re-

plied. 1 , 1

“Those were in the safe?”

“Yes; you had not given me any
instructions about them, so I put them
in the other safe; but when I went to
get the correspondence I saw them
there and put them with the corres-
pondence in my own safe."

Santoine lay still

"Who besides Donald knew that you

_ did that, daughter?” he asked.

“No one."
”Thank you.” _
Harriet recognized this as dismissal

and went out. The, blind man felt the

blood beating fiercely in his temples
and at his fingertips. It amazed, as-
tounded him to realize that Warden’s

‘ murder and all that had followed it

had sprung from the Latron case. The
coupling of Warden’s name with Lat-
ron’s in the newspapers after War-
den’s death had seemed to him only
flagrant sensationalism. He himself

had known—or had thought he had

known—more aboilt the Latron case
than almost any other man—’-he had
been'a witness at the trial; he had
seen—or had thought he had seen—-
even-handed justice done there. Now,
by Warden’s evidence, but more still
by the mannerxof Warden’s death, he

- . was forced to believe that there had
‘_ been something unknown to him and
‘ terrible in what had been done then.

'And as realization of this came to

     
 
 
 
  

. best time.

thing not wholly open, in his relations ' '

with those men whose interests had
been most closely allied with Latron’s.
It, had been nothing open,.,nothing pal-
pable; it was only that he had felt at
times in them a. knowledge of some
general condition governing them
which was not wholly known to him-
self. As he pressed his hands upon
his blind eyes, trying to define this
feeling to‘ himself, his thought went
swiftly back to the events on the train
and in the study.

" He had had investigated the ac-
counts of themselves given by the pas-
sengers to Conductor Connery; two of
these accounts had proven to be false.
The man who under the name of Law-

rence Hillward had claimed the cipher

telegram from Eaton had been one of
these; it had proved impossible to
trace this man and it was now certain
that Hillward was not his real name;
the other, Santoine had had no doubt,
was the heavy-set muscular man who
had tried to run Eaton down with the
motor. These men, Santoine Was sure,
had been acting for' some principal not
present. One or both of these men
might have 'been in the - study last
night; but the sight of neither of these
could have so startled, So astounded
Blatchford. Whomever Blatchford had
seen was some one well known to him,
whose presence had been so amazing
that speech had failed Blatchford for
the moment and he had feared the ef-
fect of the announcement on Santoine.
This could have been only the princi-
pal himself.

Some circumstance which Santoine
comprehended only imperfectly as yet
had forced this man to come out 'from
behind his agents and to act even at
the risk of revealing himself. It was
probably he who, finding Blatchford’s
presence made revealment inevitable,
had killed Blatchford. But these cir-
cumstances gave Santoine no clew as

to who the man might be. The blind.

man tried vainly to guess. The rebel-
lionagainst his blindness, which had
seized him the night before, again stir-
red him. The man had been in the
light just before his face; a second of
sight then and eve1yth1ng would have
been clea1;01 another word from
Blatchford, and he would have known.
But Santoine recalled that 11 he had.
had that second of sight, and the other
man had known it, or if Blatchford
had spoken that next word, Santoine
too would probably be dead.

The only circumstance regarding the
maid which Santoine now felt sure
was that he was one of the many con-
cerned in the Latron case or with the
Latron properties. Had the blood in

which Santoine had stepped upon the.

study floor been his, or that of one of
the others?

“What time is it?” the blind man
suddenly asked the nurse.

“It“ is nearly noon, Mr. Santoine, and
you have eaten nothing."

The blind man did not answer. He
recalled vaguely .that, several hours
before, breakfast had been brought for
him and that he had impatiently wav-
ed it away. In ‘his absorption he had
felt no need then for food, and he felt
none now.

“Will you leave me alone for a few
moments?” he directed.

He listened .1111 he heard the door
close behind the nurse; then he seized
the-private 'phone beside his bed and
called his broker. olnstinotively, in his
uncertainty, Santoine had turned to
that barometer which reflects day by
day, even from hour to hour, the most
obscure events and the most secret
knowledge.

Home Demonstratlon Leaders

Have Busy Year.——By Alta L. thte/l

. S your community making the most
I of its advantages? Have you ever

had the services of the state home
demonstration workers? Possibly you
have no county agent, there are only
nine in Michigan, but have you asked
the nutrition specialist, the clothing
specialist or the household manage-
meint specialist to visit you and help
you straighten out your housekeeping
tangles?

Maybe you do not know you can get
this help, but you can. Thanks to a
national and state appropriation there
is a state staff of specialists connected
with the Agricultural College at East
Lansing, and by writing the leader,
Mrs. Louise H. Campbell, you' can se~
cure help in any home-making line.

One woman in Dickinson county
knew about these workers. She
thought she was spending too much
money on the table, so she asked the
household management specialist to
help her plan a budget for her table.
They worked out a bill of fare for one
week, which gave twenty-one good
nourishing, appetizing meals, and in
that one week that woman saved exact-
ly $8.00. Saved as much as some fam-
ilies spend for food for a week. She
thinks home demonstration work pays.

You women who get sick and tired
of planning meals and are never sure
that the ones you plan are properly
balanced, did you know you could get
help to settle the question? Nutrition
is one of the-most important things on
which the extension staff is working.

You may learn how to be sure you.

are selecting the right foods for your-
self and husband, what to feed the
growing child, and what to feed .the
baby. The women in thirteen coun-
ties tackled the problem of correct
feeding last year, and as a result hun-
dreds of families are in better health
this year than ever before. Drugs
have been discarded for vegetables and
fruit, and a great deal of the pastry
and rich baked stufi discarded, and the
women are rejoicing in increased vigor
and lessened work.

Nearer to the average woman’s
heart than food is the question of
clothes. Every woman wants to look
her best, but with the tight money
market, new frocks and hats are de-
nied to many.‘Here is where the cloth-
ing specialist from the college helps
you gratify your desire for something
different” By remodeling the old gar-
ment and making over the old hat, you
have the coveted change.
'women availed themselves of the op-
portunity for help last year that seven
counties alone show a saving of $5,245
in clothing and ~millinery. Much work

was done and never reported, so the

actual saving is even greater. Dress
forms to the number of 1,253 were re-

Iported from five counties, and bun-A

dreds of others may be added to that
‘ estimate from other parts of the state.

These specialists look after the aes-
c side of life, too.,

So many '

help you choose curtains and drapes,
to guide you in color harmony, and in
furniture selection. In one county the
agent even taught the women how to
make ‘braided rugs. The household
management specialist will ‘help you,
as she helped hundreds of other wom-

en last year, to rearrange your kitchen .

so as to save steps, and advise you
when you want to buy labor-saving de~
vices, like the flreless cooker, the pres-
sure cooker, dish drainer, washers,
ironers, etc. If you can’t buy the fire-
less cooker she will help you make one.

Perhaps your problem is poultry. Do

you know how to cull your flock?
you know how to can chicken? If you
do notx these Workers will help you.
The state leader’s report for last year
shows that many Michigan women re-
ceived such help.

This same report of what is being
done for farm women in Michigan
makes.

fant, first. aid helps—if you read' the

A Longeerocial Season

By Hilda

ROM November to March first used
to be the social season on the
farm, and if anything like bad
roads or extremely cold weather cut
short the festivities and good times no
attempt was made to “make up” the
lost time. However, there is a definite
and concerted 'movement on the part
of farmers and their families to length-
en out the social season and to carry
over into the spring some of the ac-
tivities of the winter. Even in the
busy spring time there are days when
it is easy to get up hasty meetings, so-
cials and suppers without interfering
in the least with the farm work.
A great deal of this is due to the
better planning and the more efficient

Richmond

working of social committees in the
country. Formerly when a social was
announced every woman took rolls,
meat, pickles, spreads, cake, pie, fruit

and as many other things as .she could'

get ready, working hard for several
days. Now all that is changed. ' The
ladies know how many baked beans,
how many escalloped oysters, how
many chickens,- how much coffee, how
many sandwiches and how many cakes
will be needed; so less preparation all
around is required. Mereover, grange
halls and community centers are now
equipped with stoves, dishes and uten-
sils so that cooking is comparatively
easy. Some weeks ago a c0mmittee of

men and women served a hot supper,

plate: Hot beef, gravy, mashed pota-
to, dressing, _tomatoes .and bread and
butter were served with fruit jelly and
a. small store cake for dessert. Every-
thing was hot, good, and nicely served,
and the cost was far less than what it
would have taken for each family to
send a chicken, bake a cake and pro-
vide‘ the other things.

But the most powerful factor in the
whole thing is the fact that country
people are beginning to value social
joys more than_they did some years
back, and to realize that pleasure has
a direct value in health, in finances, in
keeping the children on the farm, and
in increasing the value of farm prop-
erty The woman who has no share
in the innocent joys of the community
is'the imhealthy woman who soon tires ,
of the farm and coaxes her husband to
move to town, but the busy cheery

happy lady who is interested in dress

form meetings, cdoking demonstra-
tions, sewings, socials, church affairs,
School picnics and all the other de-
lightful activities of the progressive
country neighborhood sees no reason
why she should leave the farm. Even
the children are included in every
form of social life and feel that the
country is a good place to be.

Then, beginning in August with the

Chautauqua and family reunions the

good times again make their appear-
ance. Not so frequently as in winter,
of course, but still often enough to
sweeten life and bring friends together
to plan for the greater activities to
follow. Corn roasts, harvest home fes-
tivals, auto trips, the state fair, the
silo filling, the corn husking for the
sick neighbor and all the other occa-
sions for getting together, as well as
the serious meetings to consider bet-
ter farming, make life pleasant, and ,
furnish the excuse for making the "good
time stretch out almost the year round.
It pays morally, mentally, physically
and financially to cultivate the social
nature and the farmer and his family 1
should consider the question of enter-
tainment intelligently and carefully
from every standpoint, with a view to
making life full of innOcent jbys that
are at once pleasing and profitable to

' all, and that uplift the community and

nation ~

NEVER saw your beat at finding
bargained Mother Allen was torn

bet-ween admiration and envy as
she .watched Milly open her parcels.

“—I declare,.l thought . I was a. close

buyer, but you got the beat allways
for Sunday. Unless you spent more'

than that five dollars you allowed on,’
she exclaimed suddenly.

‘-‘Exactly $4.97,” Milly unwrapped
the last parcel, yellow and white check-
ed gingham for kitchen window cur-
tains, “and here’s , three cents for
Tom’s bank." ,

“Well, all I can say is, I don’t see
how you do it; towels, cotton for two
sheets, enough percale for two shirts
for. Bob, one of those glass baking
dishes, a soap shaker, funnel, and, of
all things, a. book. I never could have
got all that out of five dollars, espe‘

Vcially the book. and times so hard.”

“I did manage pretty well, didn’t I?”
Milly ignored the sly reference to her
extravagance in buying a book. “It’s
all in learning how to know a good
thing when you see it. “Ive wanted this
book On household management for
months, and when I saw it in a paper
binding I just snatched it up. Bob
may have to go without cake for a
month, I used my sugar money for the
book, but he won’t starve.” She was
evidently so sure that Mother Allen
would think she had done just right
that there was nothing to do but nod
approval.

“I wish Nellie had a little of your
buying sense,” Mother Allen sighed as
she held the gingham to the light for
signs of sizing. .. “She doesn’t seem to
have any judgment at all when it
comes to spending money.”

“Can’t remember that I had very

much when I was Nellie’s age," Millyy

answered, "It was my famous riding
breech’es that taught me how to plan,”
she chuckled reminiscently.

"Is that another of your funny stor-
ies?" Mother Allen smiled in anticipa-
tion.

“It’s funny now, but it was a tragedy
then, when I saw the city beau led
away by my hated enemy,”, Milly grin-
ned as she started to fold up» the
wrapping papers. “I guess I must al-
‘wa s have had an allowance,” she be-
gad? "'Anyway, I can scarcely remem-
ber ,when I hadn’t one. Mother let
me spend the money to suit myself,
she advised me, but she never told me
I must or‘ must not buy anything. If
she saw I was going wrong she’d try
to head me right, but if I got chuckle-
headed, why she just let me go ahead
and take the consequences. I had just
so much money, and when it was gone
it was gone.

“Well, the summer I was sixteen I
was to buy my own clothes. I had just
ten dollars to spend on my wardrobe,
there were some left-overs, of course,
and mother wanted me to buy white
organdie for a dress and a white hat
that I could embroider for myself.We
went to Detroit to spend my money,
and I saw those riding breeches. Dad
had given me a saddle horse, and I’d
been wearing a pair of bloomers moth-
er made out of an old skirt of hers.

“Jen Summers was expecting a Bos-

‘ton cousin of hers, who was a sopho

more at Harvard, to spend a month on
the farm, and all of us girls were dy-
ing to meet the hero and make an im-
pression. I knew that those riding
breeches with me inside of them would

settle him. They certainly were spiffy.
I could inst see myself in them, perch-
ed on Dapple’s back and prancing

. ._ through Main street, while all the oth-j
' . 9" girls stood round green with envy.

‘L ‘ Bargain;
By Alta L.‘ Little]!

 

decked out in new frocks and I’d be
wearing an old one, but I couldn’t see
anything but those riding breeches. So
I got them, Spent 'my entire ten dol~
lars for them, and went back home
with no new dress and no new hat.

"The hero arrived in ”due time, and
so did I, on horseback next afternoon
at Jen’s. I don’t need to tell you what
he was like, I said he was from Bos~
ton. When I came dashing up in ap-
proved style, he just put up one of
those one-eye- glass things and looked
at me as if I were a wild west animal
he had been learning about out of his
books, but the sight of the real thing
was too much for him. I could just
feel myself parching/up.

“Two orthree other girls had ‘just
happened’ to drop in, .all dolled up in
muslins and organdies. You should
have seen them smirk when he looked
me over! Here I was in hot wool, rid-
ing breeches, a gray flannel blouse
made out of dad’s old shirts, my hair
all blown to pieces, and my face crim-
son and dusty. I didn’t even stay for
the cake and lemonade, and you may
bet I was thirsty, too. And every one
of those spiteful cats told me after-
wards he said horsey girls completely
upset him.

“That wasn’t the worst of that mis-
erable summer. I had an invitation to
go to Mackinac for August and I hadn’t
a single new thing to wear. Mother
absolutely wouldn’t give me a cent,
and when I tried to wheedle some
money out of Dad, he just roasted me
about my riding breeches. I had to go
north with my last year’s dress let
down from the summer before that.
Mother said I had to learn values some
time, and I’d better learn them when
I was sixteen than when I got to be
thirty-six. My goodness,” she broke
off suddenly, “Here’s Dan back from
the barn, and the teakettle not over
yet,” she jumped up and ran with her
papers.

“Maybe you learned your lesson that
way, but it seems to me like an awful
risk to let a girl spend ten dollars just
as she likes,” Mother Allen's lips tight-
ened. “If I was to let Nellie spend her
money that reckless I don’t know
what’ (i happen.”

“Why don’t you try it and see?”
Milly asked innocently. “It might be
just the thing she needs."

 

Do you PLAY WITH YOUR CHIL-l

DREN?

 

APPY the home where the mother

plays with her children. The
mother who works every moment is
no joy to herself nor to her family, for
if she does not become irritable she
generally smothers spontaneity and
happiness, nor does she ever know
what it means to be the glorified moth-
er at the end of the day.

Busy mothers who want suggestions
on how and what to play with children
will find the following books of great
value. Mothers who do not careto
purchase them should request that
they be placed upon the shelves of the
public libraries in their towns.

HREE years, ago a pure-bred Here-

scn county, Kansas. Twenty-nine reg-

ed. These were graded, classified and
delivered on May 17, 1919, to the boys
and girls at actual cost plus the freight
and other expense which amounted to
an average $300 a head. ‘Each club
member was furnished with a tabulat-
ed pedigree of his heifer together with
a booklet of instructions in regard 'to
the proper feeding, care and manage-

Dear Uncle Frankzi

I am going to join the Boys’ and
Girls’ Club. I am twelve years ‘of age
and in the sixth grade at school. May
I join it? I am sure my girl friends
will join, too—Viola Kesgitalo, Repub-
lic, Michigan.

The Michigan Farmer has no Boys’
and Girls' Club yet. We may organize
one later. Please write Mr. Ray Tur-
ner, East Lansing, Michigan, if you
are interested in club work. I’ll be
glad to hearfrom you often. .

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I see 'you wanted some girls and
boys to correspond. I am a girl thir-
teen years old. My birthday is July
24. I am going to raise a fine garden
next summer. I have a sister eleven
years old. I had a pet cat named
Fatty. I live on a farm of sixteen
acres. We have one cow and two
horses and fourteen sheep and five
baby lambs. I am two and a half miles
from school.——-Beatrice Brott, Grayling,
Michigan. .

Glad to hear from you, Beatrice.

Dear Uncle Frank:
I was interested in the spelling con-

Although I may not win a prize, I
found it very interesting to nd the

NATURE NOTES.

 

Where does the meadow mouse find
refuge in ,the winter time?——-Frank ,R.

The meadow mouse, the stumpy tail-
ed and rather “duck legged” mouse,

is busy in the fields and meadows all

winter. Up_he comes from his under-
ground nest or home, and runs out on
the snow,» as though he rather enjoyed
the winter. Often this mouse makes
a tunnel from his nest to the pit where
vegetables are stored, if it is nearby,
and the meadow mouse to be sure, is
then quite well supplied with food
right at hdnd. Many times the meadow
mouse lays upia store of' clover roots,
and small vegetables in his under-
ground home, drawing upon the store
in very stormy weather.

Is the thistle classed as a weed or
flower?—H. G. T.

Thistles are classed both as a weed
and a flower. The'colors of thistles
are quite appealing to the .-eye, but as
soon as we remember its prickles or
throns, it loses its charm; The com-
mon thistle, the one with the very
large head, also known as bull-thistle,
burr, spear, plume, bank, horse, blue,
button and bell thistle, is a native of
Europe and Asia, but is now thorough-
~ly naturalized in America, from North-
ern Canada to Georgia, and through
the eastern and central states, and
west to the plains, It blooms from
July to November. The pasture this-
tle, the head of which often measures
three inches across, is found from
Maine to Delaware, and blossoms from
July to late September. You will find
plenty of bees and butterflies on this
thistle, as well as the, lovely Gold-
fiche, and some of the other seed-eat-
ing birds. The 'Goldfinches often de-
stroy as many as thirty to forty this-
tle heads a day. This thistle is often
quite fragrant—PAULINE WARD.

ROBABLY because this contest
was the hardest of any we have
had I did not get as many replies

as in. other contests;
Out of eighteen words thatI found

,wrong, one girl got as many as four-

teen, and two, other contestants got
twelve. I am sure it was hard hunting
to get those. In fact, it required a
reading of the advertisements as well
as the reading matter to get all that
I got, and perhaps I did not get all. ,
There were several cases where the
spelling made words but not the prop-
er ones. “Out” instead of “our" was

a

The Winners '

"HE following are those who
found the most incorrectly

spelled words in our contest of
April 1:

Bernice Harper, of Vicksburg,
Mich—14 words.

Lewis Raske, St. Louis, Mich.
~12 words.

Harley Phelps, of New Era,
Mich. ——12 words.

Donna Crampton, Olivet, Mich.
—11 words.

E Mitts, of Powers, Mich—11
words. -

 

 

 

 

one, and “these result” instead of “the
results” is «another case. I am sure
that the boys and girls who found
these errors made a sense reading of
the first ten pages as well as 'a word
reading of them. Reading is nothing
unless you get the meaning of what
you read.

Many gave capita as a misspelled
word. As used it was correct. Missus
is also right, so is Chortle instead of
chuckle; it means practically the same
thing. And laudable is not laughable
as one contestant had it.

The Words.

Following are the eighteen words
which I found misspelled on the first
ten pages of the April 1 issue. Some
words, such as kin, were ‘found several
times, but were counted only once.

Many gave sittin’, readin’, and such
words as misspelled words. However,
I have taken them merely as contrac-
tions of correctly spelled words, and
did not count them in the contest.

A150 Somet/zmg ant/12 Like-t/ze-Farm Letter:
By Uncle Frank

the letters gave me a greater appreci-
ation of its advantages. ,

‘I liked best those letters which told
of the influence of rural [living onschar.
actor and the development of the indi-
vidual. The fresh air and the open

country, the fresh fruit and the swim- _

ming hole, are all great enjoyments of
living in the country, but I believe we
should think of them and the other
things of the» country life as they in-
fluence us in making us bigger and
better men and women, don’t you?

It made me happy to see in these let?

ters such a great appreciation of na-
ture. There is no greater study than
that of nature, for through its study
we get to know ourselves better. In
many ways human nature has charac-
teristics similar to other natural
things.

There were so many good things in,

these “Why—I-like—the-farm” letters that
I am going to use extracts from them
in this department in some of the com-
ing issues. I feel sure that you will
find them interesting reading.

I just have room for one short one
this week. Here it is.

Dear Uncle Frank.

I like the farm because it is more
free and closer to nature than the city.
I like to get up early i nthe springtime
when the sun is climbing over the
hills, and hear the birds’ cheerful
songs, and smell of the fragrant blos-
soms of the trees. I like to go berry

and cherry picking. And Llike to eat-

melons fresh fromvthe vine, as every-
thing is more fresh and healthful in
the country. I also like to gather eggs

With rabbits of all ages it is import-
ant to feed and water regularly. The
rabbit can make no outcry if neglect-
ed. It is confined in a very narrow
prison which may not be seen often.
This means that the breeder must give .

the farm. Beginners often neglect rab- ~
bits for a day or two and then expect
to make up for lost time by filling the

Remarkable Experience of Mrs.

' L C.M. Bradshaw in Prevent-
ing'White Diarrhea

The following letter will no doubt
he of mo“: interest to
who have had serious losses from
‘White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.

 

‘ Bradshaw tell of her experience in her.

own words: ' '

“Gentlemen: I see reports of .so
many losing their little chicks With
White Diarrhea, so thought - I would
tell 'my experience. I used to lose a
great many from this“ cause, tried
many remedies and was absut d18-
eouraged. As a last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 507,
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walks White
Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c
packages, raised 300 White Wyandottes
and never lost‘ one or had one sick
after givingthe medicine, and my
chickens are larger and healthier than
ever bctore, I have found this com—
pany thoroughly reliable and always
get the remedy by return maiL—Mrs-
C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

, White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This
germ is transmitted to the baby chick
through the yolk of the newly hatched
egg. Readers are warned to beware
of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until
-~ it kills half your chicks. Take the
“stitch in time that saves nine.” Re-
member, there is scarcely a hatch
without some infected chicks. Don’t
let these few infect your entire flock.
Prevent it. Give Walko in all drinking
water for the first two weeks and you
won’t lose one chick where you lost
hundreds before. These letters prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind” writes: “I have lost my share of

 

 

'chicks' from White Diarrhea. Finally

I sent for two packages of Walko. I
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost
a single chick from White Diarrhea.
Walko not only prevents White Diar-
rhea, but it gives the chicks strength
and vigor; they develop quicker and
feather earlier.” ‘

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, he-
gan to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. ‘I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally I sent to the
Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa,
for a box of their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing
for this terrible disease. We raised
700 thrifty, ,healthy chicks and never
lost a single chick after the first dose.”

You Run No Risk

We will send Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy e'ntirely at our risk

ing water for, the first two weeks and
watch .results, You’ll find you won’t

dreds before. It’s a positive feet. We

are not only scarce but high in

they are usually abundant, and this is
the time to preserve them for use dur-

Fresh eggs, properly preserved, may
be kept from six to ten months and be
almost as good for household uses as
This is the reason pre-

To preserve fifteen dozen eggs in
Waterglass, select a five~galloncrock
(earthenware or stone), clean it thor-
oughly, scald and allow to dry. Then
heat from ten to twelve quarts of wa-
ter to the boiling point- When it has
cooled measure out nine quarts into
the crock and add one quart of sodium
silicate (waterglass), which can be

use, for about twenty-five cents. Stir
the solution until it" is thoroughly
mixed.

It is then ready for the eggs, which
may be put in all at once or from
time to time, as they are obtained.-
Care must be taken when putting them
in the jar not to crack the shells; also
make sure that the solution covers
them by at least two inches at all
times. Stand the filled crock in a
cool, dry place and cover it with a
tight lid or waxed paper to prevent
evaporation. To preserve a smaller or
larger quantity of eggs, prepare the
solution in the same proportion.

Though lime is not considered to be
so good as waterglass, since it may
impart a slight taste to the eggs, it
has sometimes demonstrated itself as
entirely satisfactory and may be used
when waterglass is unobtainable. To
preserve eggs with lime, dissolve'two
pounds of unslaked lime in a small
amount of water and dilute with five
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the

of the solution should cover the top

.It ishessential that only fresh eggs,
clean and infertile, be_ used for pre-
serving, and it is necessary to candle
them to make sure that they comply
with these conditions, unless? a small
flock is kept, which is penned up with
no rooster. If an egg is only slightly
soiled, a cloth dampened With vinegar
may be used to remove the stains; but
eggs should not be washed with water
or soap and water, since this removes
the protective coating that is on the
shell and may tend to cause the con-
tents to spoil. But no badly soiled egg
should be placed in the jar, as it may
spoil the entire lot.

Fresh eggs preserved in this man-
ner may be used satisfactorily for'all
purposes in cooking and for table use.

The correct proportioning and
curing of the different raw ma-
terials which carry ammonia and
other plant foods is of more im-
"portance than the average user

\ realizes.

For the last fifteen years we have
been carrying on experiments to
help us in developing Fertilizers
for the different crops and soils. '

In making up Darling’s brands
containing ammonia, we use animal
tankage as a base. Although
animal tankage costs more, we use
it because years of actual field
tests show that Animal Base Fer-
tilizers give better results during
the entire growth of the plant and
show larger yields than chemical
fertilizers.

The manufacture of Acid Phosphate
has received a lot of study, with the result
that we have installed very expensive
machinery. The Acid Phosphate made
with this equipment has a higher avail-
ability, is much drier and runs lower 1n
free Sulphuric Acid. This system was
worked out successfully in the large Ferti-
.: lizer consuming state of North Carolina,

.2 and our plant is the first and only plant
‘ 59’? of this kind in the Middle West.

E5 We have never made an effort to sell
, 1,: . the cheapest Fertilizer. Our effort has
always been to manufacture Better F er-
tilizers.

WORLD’S DAlRY sameness.

 

PRESIDENT HARDING will invite

foreign governments to send dele-
gates to a world’s dairy congress to be
held in connection with the National-
Dairy: Show, this coming fall. The
dairy industry Which has its roots in
forty-seven billion dollars’ worth'of
American farms, not to mention the
two billion dollars invested in cattle,
and other billions in distributing equip-
ment, is trending toward a unity of
effort under the influence of the lead-
ers who are planning this first world's
congress.

 

MILK FLOW. INCREASED.

 

N one progressive cow-testing asso-

ciation the average production of
milk in 1920 was 7,120 pounds, and of
butter-fat 285 pounds. In 1921, nine
teen herds in the same association av-
eraged 8,500 pounds of milk and 345
pounds of butter-fat per cow. These
figures show a gain'in milk production
of 19.3 per \cent and in butter-fat of
twenty-one per cent. The tester states
that he attributes this gain to better
care and feeding. The cows were fed
a grain ration throughout the year,
thus keeping up production during the
late summer months, when it usually
drops because of short pastures.

 

AVOID EARLY PASTURINGH

 

THE farther who is anxious to get

the maximum of returns from his
pasture lot should keep the cows away
from the grass until it contains sufl‘i-
cient nutrients to maintain milk pro-
duction and keep the cows in good
bodily condition. According to Prof.
Humphrey, formerly of Michigan but
now of Wisconsin, the first taste of
green grass spoils the appetite for the

-stored'feeds which must be relied up-

on for weeks after the first grass ap-
pears. The early' growth is mostly
water and a reduction in‘the milk flow '
will result unless the regular winter
plan of feeding grain, hay and silage
is kept up until the pasture sod is firm
and the grass has a. good start.

Cows are also restless and uneasy
after they have had a taste of new
grass and then have this delicacy with-
drawn from them. Even after the
grass is long enough to be pastured,
it is wise to continue feeding silage
and grain when these feeds are avail-
able. The cows will invariably make
good use of them.

 

PREPARING VEAL FOR MARKET.
IN dairy communities very few calves
are grown except a few- from the
best milkers. Nearly all grade calves
are sold as veals from four toeight
weeks of age.
There are several different methods
used by dairylmen in preparing their
calves for the market. The writer
cannot say which is the best method,
but following are the several methods
the last of which is the one he favors
most.
Perhaps the majority of farmers
veal their calves directly from the
cow. They allow the calf to run with
the cow, or else put it with its mother
long enough each morning and evening
to get all the milk it desires.
Either of these methods will make
better calves than the methods yet to
be mentioned, but the tendency or the.
cow in either case is to give just
enough milk to supply the wants of

~ produce the milk that she would have
given if milked from the 11151..

Some follow the plan of milking the
cow from the first and'feeding the
calves separator milk. Usually fresh
milk is fed for a. few days and then
gradually mixing in separator milk and
some substitute for the part of the
milk removed by separating, until the
fresh milk is left out entirely.

The substitute used with the separ- p

ator milk are linseed meal, corn meal,
ground feed, flour, or some other feed.
There are also some commercial calf
feeds that can be purchased and, used
in the place of whole milk.

The writer likes to milk‘his cows
right from the first or second day and
feed whole milk-to his calves twice a
day. After a few days a small amount
of corn meal is mixed in the milk.
This is gradually increased as the calf
grows older. A box of ground feed
should be kept where the calf has ac-
cess to it, as after a few feeds of meal
in its milk it will learn to eat the dry
feed.

As a rule, a calf grown by this meth-
od will not quite equal one raised by
the cow, but it will be but a few
pounds lighter at eight weeks of age,
as theone raised by the cow will not
learn to eat ground feed so- soon and
it is also better if the cow is milked
from the first ..—-M E. GEORGE.

weather is fairly cool, but not cool
enough to preserve milk if no special
pains are taken, is the time when the
dairyman is apt to be a little careless.
He does not begin soon enough touse
ice or other means of cooling, and he
does not continue this 'special care
long enough’in the fall.

I

The use of a thermometer, instead
of guessingat temperatures, says the
department, will save much milk from
'being returned, and "will save less from
poor butter and low-quality cheese. It
is a good practice to 0001 milk through-
out the year, for bacteria will multiply
in warm milk in winter as well as in
summer. As soon as possible after
milking the .~ temperature should be
brought down to fifty degrees F. or
lower. If ice is not procurable use the
coldest water: available, usually‘water
direct from, the well or spring. Have
running water" in the milk-storage
tank. If this is not possible, make ar-
rangements so that all water pumped,
for the stock first passes through the
milk- storage tank.

A surface cooler is a. piece of equip-
ment worth having, for it cuts the ice
bill in two, besides hastening the cool-

Gs'r‘rmc. FOLKS rro THINK m.
TERMS OF MILK. ‘ '
HEN folks know that milk is a
good food and that it helps the
human body in fight against disease,
they simply set their prejudices aside
and put in a larger order for milk. In
two cities Where carefully conducted
educational programs have been car-

 

a. very substantial increase in the con-
sumption of milk has been observed.
In Philadelphia the use of milk was in-
creased 14.69per cent and-in Canton,
Ohio, the increase was 12.5 per cent.
The campaign benefited the city by
improving the general health, the in-
dividuals who drank the milk, the dis-
tributors and, last but not least, the
producers.

SILAGE.

 

N many districts corn silage has
been the faithful standby in provid-
ing winter roughage for dairy cows.
Over a large area, the corn crop now
faces a new and dangerous pest——the
corn borer. This pest has become so
serious that it is well to ask ourselves
What dairy farmers are to do in the
event that the corn crop should be-
come unprofitable, which is quite pos-
sible, based on experiences where the
ravages of the borer have been great.
Will the dairy farmer be left with—
out a satisfactory crop that will supply
a large bulk of feed from a small
acreage? A satisfactory substitute
seems to have been found in the sweet
clover crop. This crop has been en—
siloed with disastrous results to cattle
in a few cases, probably due to the
fact that it was cut when too ripe, or
was not tramped thoroughly in the
silo, and thus became moldy and pois‘
oned the stock.
Scores of farmers are now using
sweet clover, with success and result-
One such man is Adam
Thompson, of Perth County, Ontario.
This season Mr. Tsompson had both
his silos full of sweet clover silage and
has been feeding it regularly during
the winter to his Holstein cows. The
herd has been milking better, if any-
thing, than on corn silage and it has
an additional advantage in that enough
can be thrown down for three or four
days, and not heat. Mr. Thompson
plans never to grow corn again.
At Kempville Agricultural School.
Ontario, sweet clover has been used
for silage with excellent results. A
few months ago, the principal, W. J.
Bell, informed us that they had filled
a silo with sweet clover and just. re-
cently he has made a public report on
their experience to date. They had no
difficulty in getting the cows to eat
the sweet clover silage, and results
have been excellent. Mr. Bell estimates

yield of ten tons to the acre, at $1.90
per ton. This is less than corn can be
produced for and, if out with care,
there Will be a second crop of sweet
clover in the year for hay, pasture or
turning under. If: the corn borer does
not prove» to be as serious a pest as
many seem to expect, the corn crop
will remain the standard for silage for
many years to come. It is comforting
to know, however, that there is a sat-
isfactory substitute right at hand,
should the corn crop become unprofit-
able and unreliable. An additoinal. ad-

o’ver a wider area -than will corn, and
many farmers who now‘ depend solely
upon their corn could with profit add

HOLLOW TILE FOR THE HOG
‘ HOUSE. ' . ~ T
THE great majority of hog houses
are fitted with concrete floors. Ex-
perience has shown, however. that
suchfloors, unless properly drained
and insulated against moisture. are apt
to be cold and damp and not desirable
for small pigs. In many in3tances re-
movable wooden floors are used to ov-

ercome this handicap. Hollow build-
ing tile laid on well draihed gravel and

tween the joints, makes a dry, warm
floor. A better arrangement is to place
an inch of cement over the tile. This
gives a. sanitary surface and the air
space below keeps the floor dry and
in splendid shape for housing the pigs.

been slaughtered in the packing plants
it is possible to find the farms on
which tuberculous hogs originated.

The use of this system has helped to
find many herds of diseased cattle, for

cattle. However, it sometimes happens
that no tuberculosis is found among
the cattle on farms from which tuber-
culous hogs have been shipped. In
these cases, the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture has found evi-
dence indicating that the hogs prob-
ably became infected from poultry._ It
is believed that a large percentage of
the cases where hogs are infected and
the cattle are clean, avian tuberculosis
will be found on the place. '

 

THE wool. SITUATION.

M ICHIGAN wool is on the lip-grade
as far as quality is concerned,
says the State Farm Bureau wool pool,

covered with an inch or so of sand.

the hogs usually get tuberculosis from'

   

   
     
       
    

  

 
 

. commenting on the first Woe! plaeed in ,

the 1922 pool. The percentage of dis-
count .wool is very low 30 far. .In
other years it has been high. Educa-
tional features of the 1921 pool’s local

grading campaign are now saidto be} '

bearing fruit. It is now held import-
ant to keep chat: and burrs out of the
fleece and to care for it properly all
along the line. '

   
  
  
 
    
   
  

C. R. Oviatt, a veteran wool grower

of Bay‘ county, Who pooled about. 1,000

pounds last year and had about 550 '

pounds of discount .wool, er fifty-five
per cent discount, pooled 2,058 pounds
this spring and hadbut 142 pounds dis-
..count, or 6.9 ‘per cent discount.
ured on the basis of today’s market,
Mr. Oviatt said his "application of the
wool handling principles taught at 10-
Cal- farm bureau pooling points last
summer was worth $145 to him.

Mr. Oviatt said he had dirty .wool
in 1921 because local buyers had al-
ways accepted liis clip without ques-
tion and that his wool had never been
.subjected to grading. Grading done
by the farmers’. pool laid down stand-
ards which brought out the real qual-
ity Of his .clip this year.‘

Frank Geffels, of Laingsburg, Shia-
wasseelcounty, and A. ‘Gee & Son, of
Stockbrldge, Ingham county, have es.
tablished a record for the 1922 pool to
date. In the 948 pounds cf wool they
pooled there was not a single pound of
discount wOol. Wool coming into the
1922 pool is in increasingly better
shape, says Don Williams, manager of
the 1922 pool. ,

Sixty- five local grading stations have
been established for the state-wide
'pooling- and grading campaign which
begins late in April. At that time wool
poolers will 'receive a. forty per cent
cash advanCe on the value of their
wool and a’warehouse receipt for the
remainder, the balance payable when
the pool is sold and closed out.

Eversion of Womb (Casting the
Withers).—-My farmer sometimes uses
language I do- not understand. He
writes as follows: Our best cow came
fresh last night and “cast her withers”
and I may have to‘ shoot her. ThlS
phrase is an old-time expression and
I do not understand it. If he means
“retain the afterbirth” what should he
do, and whatare the causes that might
develop that condition? H. C. J., De-
troit, Mich—Like flooding, this is the
result of failure of the womb to con-
tract after calving. If the womb con-
tracts naturally, the afterbirth is ex-
»pelled, the internal cavity of the womb
is nearly closed, and the mouth of the
womb becomes so narrow that the
hand can not be forced through, much
less the whole mass of the motrix.
When, however, it fails to contract,
the closed end' of one of the horns
may fall- into its open internal cavity,
and under the compression of the ad-
jacent intestines, and the straining and.
contraction of the abdominal walls,
it is forced farther and farther, until

slides back through the vagina, and
hangs from the vulva. Treatment must
vary somewhat, according to the de-
gree of the eversion. In partial ever-
sion, with the womb protruding only
slightly from the vulva, and the cow
standing, let an assistant pinch the
back to prevent straining, or apply
surcingle around body, while the oper-
ator pushes his closedxfist into the cen-
ter of the mass and carries it back
through the vagina, assisting in re:
turning the surrounding parts by the
other hand. In more complete even
sion, place a sheet under the womb,
each end held by two assistants, raise
it to a level of the vulva, sponge it off
with clean cold water, this will reduce
its bulk, then sponge over with car-
bolic lotion, a teaspoon to each quart
of .Water, then return womb to place.
Leave on surcingle and place her” in
stall with fore feet a few inches lower
than hind feet and keep her in this
position for a day- or two. .

WHEAT

In spite of a statistical situation
which forecasts a carryover at the
end of the crop year considerably be-
low the ten-year average, wheat buy-
ers remain indifferent, and wheat own-
ers have become anxious lest the de-
mand fail to absorb the usual amount
of wheat before harvest. There is evi-
dence, however, that. wheat is being
accumulated quietly while the market
is under pressure and that later on
when it is wanted, priceswill stiffen
considerably. Argentina and Australia.
are still putting a good deal of wheat
afloat each week and total stocks in
storage in exporting countries or on
passage are larger than at this time
last year. There is reason for believ-
ing that the large available stocks are
at the expense'of interior holdings
from which future supplies must be

drawn.
CORN

The extraordinary demand for
corn which featured the market during
the winter has departed. Corn indus-
tries which have been conspicuous buy-
ers for months are curtailing opera-
tions and are now working at less than
50 per cent capacity. Clearances for
export are large, but they represent
old sales and sales now being made do
not point to a. movement more than
half as large later on. Amounts sold
for shipment via the lake are small.

OATS

Wet weather has delayed oat seed-
ing and the crop is now about two
weeks late. .Unofficial reports point to
a decrease of about five per cent in
acreage. Cash demand is very slow.
Primary receipts have decreased near-
ly 50 per cent in the last thirty to
sixtydays while primary shipments
have exceeded the receipts for three
weeks. The visible supply was so
large that the decreases made still
leave it larger than was ever known
before at this season.

SEEDS

Unfavorable weather for the spring
seeding remained the dominant influ-
ence in the clover seed market last

‘ week. Prices declined'a little further
as the demand has been light. Alsike
prices were unchanged. Thereris a

' searcity of alfalfa seed and that mar-
ket is showing strength.

FEEDS

The decline in feed markets Seems

. to have run its course for the present,
‘ pat, least, and a. small upturn occurred
, tpmrd theolose’last week. Bran pric— ,

' at til point nonlinear 30,

and prompt

 

percent. Production .of wheat and
corn feeds is decreasing and ‘jobbers
were more ready to take hold.

HAY

Light receipts are given sole credit
for a. firm hay market as the demand
is limitde. There is no buying ahead.
Larger receipts are expected as soon
as country roads improve and live
stock is being put on pasture. 4

BUTTER

The seasonal d line in butter prices
is under way, alt ough the losses last“
week were not severe. Production is
extremely heavy and receipts at the
large cities are heavy compared with
the average for this season of the year
in spite of evidence of broad consum-
ing demand at smaller points. Fancy
butter especially has been abundant.
Large quantities of butter are still be-
ing sold from cold storage although
receipts of fresh butter at the four
leading cities last week were as large
as they usually become when the stor-
ing season starts. .

Prices for 92-score fresh butter as
follows: Chicago 341/60; New York
35c. In Detroit the price for fresh
creamery butter in tubs is 340.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Easter egg trade has been a factor
in the egg market recently and values
especially upon choice eggs held up
well in spite of receipts of near record
proportiohs at four leading cities. Spec-
ulative interest is increasing and about
half of the arriVals are going into cold
storage. The market may weaken
slightly after Easter needs have been
supplied but is on a_ rather solid bot-
tom. Receipts of eggs usually reach
maximum anywhere from the second
to the fourth week in April. The de-
cline in supply will sustain prices and
eventually advance them. The high

last of April as a: rule.

    

point in cold storage stocks in the last
three years. has been seached about
the middle of July. Receipts of dress-
ed— poultry begin to pick up toward the

, BEANS

The Michigan bean market has been
holding around $7.25 f. o. b. shipping
points for choice hand-picked stock.
Only small quantities are available in
producing sections and the high level

of prices has slowed up consuming de- -

mand. Some reselling has been done
by wholesalers and the market is
draggy but when the present supply in
distributive channels is used up, and
it becomes necessary to go back into
primary’ markets firm prices are antic-
pated. Japanese beans are offered at
a price equivalent to about eight cents
in Chicago. France and Roumania also
have offered beans at about 517$ cents
at New York, duty paid, but both the
quality and date of deliveryare un-

Wool prices are holding steady at
the decline of three to five cents per
pound. Mills are buying in a very
limited way and both mills and dealers
are waiting the outcome of tariff legis-
lation. In some sections speculators
are anxious to .buy new clip wool at
the present price scale but producers
are sitting tight. One big lot of Ari-

. CHEESE

The cheese market has been weak
and unsettled as'production has been

heavy and receipts have been too large -

to be absorbed. WiscOnsin county

and distributing market's followed suit.

Small quantities have been placed in‘

IMPROVES MARKET FOR EGGS.

 

An unusual result has folldwed the

cooperative egg shipping associations
recently organized in, Illinois. The
shipment of eggs for theipast two
weeks from these cooperative associa~
tions have commanded a bait-cent
more per do'Zen above the top price on

the Chicago market on account at"

superior quality and grading. There
IS an urgent demand in Chicago for
eggs packed and graded as these co-

operatives are putting them up. ‘ It is

probable that an even betterpriee can
be secured if a larger and ‘steadierfvol,-

ume of eggs from this source can be ,.

provided. It is only just to the asso-

cooperators.

The average condition of winter
wheat on April 1 was 78.4 per cent of
a normal, against 91.0 on April 1, 1921,
75.6 on April 1, 1920, and 84.3, the av-
erage condition for the past ten years
on April 1. There was an increase in
condition from December 1, 1921, to
April 1, 1922, of 2.4 points, as compar-
ed with an average deCline in the past
ten years of 4.7 points between these
dates. Upon the assumption of aver-
age abandonment of acreage and aver
age influences on the crop to harvest,
the condition April l’forecests a pro—
duction of ahoul 572,974,000 bushels,

“I’m Prepared for the Worst

WWI!

 

 

.Give me a Quart of Oil”

T least 50% of all serious engine

troubles are traceable to careless”

buying of lubricating oil.

You can’t dodge this fact.

There is a wide gulf between the
average “pick-up” oil and Gargoyle
Mobiloil.

We suggest you ask for Gargoyle
Mobiloil,
the correct grade for yourcar.

How the Right oil saves money

Many farmers expect entirely too little
from their lubrication.

The grade of Gargoyle Mobiloil spec-
ified for your car or tractor feeds ade—
quately to every friction point. It pro-
tects. It seals the piston rings against
blow—by of fuel and power—it saves
fuel. It cuts down operating troubles.
And you will be surprised
at your greater freedom
from carbon.

Yes: Gargoyle Mobiloil

being particular to specify'

costs a few cents more per gallon. It '

costs more to manufacture. But you
will see the real economy of, this few
cents difference after you observe the
operating results. ‘

Not agasoline byproduct
Nine out of ten lubricating oils on the
market. are simply by-products in the
manufacture of gasoline.

Gargoyle Mobiloil 13 not a by-product.
It 18 produced by lubrication special—

ists who are recognized the world over‘
,as leaders in lubricating practiCe. '

Gargoyle Mobiloil is manufactured
from crude oil chosen for its lubricating
qualities—not for its gasoline content.
Gargoyle Mobiloil is manufactured by
processes designed to bring out the high-
est lubn'catz'ng value—not the greatest
gallonage of gasoline. f
Warning!

Don’ t be misled by some similar
sounding name. Look on the con-
‘tainer for the correct name Mobiloil

(not Mobile) and for the red Gargoyle.
