CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS”





A little nonsense is singularly re-

freshing to the man who works hard.





Many persons miss doing great

things because they set themselves at

too many tasks.





The easiest way to get away from

yourself is to have a good laugh with

your friends.



Tugs, not breechings, are built to do

the big task.





Short sermons catch the most sin-

ners. '





Good schools are the greatest de-

feinse of the nation.





E C R E T A R Y of

War Weeks stir-





'Party by his recent speech

Versus red up a hornet’s nest

People at Cleveland, in which





he deplored what he

termed the decadence of our govern-

ment as a result of the operation of

the direct primary, the formation of

”Blocs” in congress, and any influence

which tends to disturb the tenure of

strictly party government in this coun-

try. We do not kinow whether Mr.

Weeks was merely voicing his per-

sonal views on this subject or the

views of the administration. Nor does

it matter greatly so far as the issue or

the result is concerned.





Representative, rather than party

gavernment was the aim of the early

American statesmen who laid the foun-

dation for and established our great

republic. Party government was a lat-

er development not contemplated or

provided for in the original plan. It

was the practical method developed

for the settlement of paramount issues

during the great and rapid develop-

ment of the country. It is a valuable





‘means to this end and is doubtless a

‘ permanent institution.





But it is a means to an end, rather

than the end to be sought. Unfortu-

nately party leaders have not always

recognized this fundamental principle,

and the direct primary and the “Agri—

cultural Bloc” are modern methods

which have been developed to secure

better representation of the body

politic by public officials and to settle

issues which are vital to the well-be-

:ing of the country.



“ Perhaps Secretary Weeks has con-

W the issue and that it is party

government rather than congress





developments. This is a state





 





which will be corrected when the ma-

jority of party leaders consistently

place the end‘ of good government

above the means of partisan advantage

as the desirable goal” to be attained.

And in the end, the voters “of the coun-

try w111 see that it is corrected.





, . URING the pres-

. ent week Dr.

M‘ A' C' s David Friday is being

N ew inaugurated as presi-

President dent of the Michigan

Agricultural College.

Last April we gave the story of Dr.

Friday’s rapid rise from a farm boy

to his election by the State Board of

Agriculture to this leading position in

agricultural educational work in the

great state of Michigan.





He comes to this high position at a

crucial, yet opportune, time. The field

of agricultural education is broaden-

ing. To successfully carry on the

farming business we have come to

know that there must be unity of ac-

tion. .One class cannot exclusively de-

vote itself to production while another

class is working alone at distributing

without having misunderstanding, con-

flict and a great loss 'of energy. A

knowledge of marketing is very essen-

tial to the successful planning and ex-

ecution of a practical schedule of pro-

duction.



From his training and public expres-

sions we gather that Dr. Friday con-

templates working out a broad pro-

gram which will give special emphasis

to the economic side of the business/of

farming. Farm management and mar-

keting will come in for a much larger

share of attention in the curriculum

of the school and in the activities of

the experiment station and extension

workers than it has enjoyed hereto-

fore.





Because of the unusual training

which President Friday brings to this

important office, and the generally fav-

orable public attitude, particularly of

the farmer, toward the development of

agricultural schools in the direction

of economics, we bespeak for him and

his coworkers an era of great useful-

ness in training youngmen and women

for broader fields of service and in

directing the general. thought of those

who depend upon agriculture for a

livelihood, in the way of greater coor-

dination and of a more unified effort.





N this issue, will be

Number propriate headings

since January first. Those who file

ready reference to a fund of current

information relating to every phase of

agriculture.



To others we suggest that they take

a moment to scan the columns of this

index carefully to note the vast

amount of, editorial matter run during

the course of six months. This mate—

rial has been gathered from a thou-

sand different sources through a sys-

tem which we have been years in

building up. ,



How this information reaches us

may be briefly stated. There are bush-

els of letters from farmers coming in-

to the office constantly and in these

are found many practical suggestions

for the farmer and his family. A list

of over two _ hundred special corre-

spondents distributed'among all the

counties of the state keeps this office

informed on local agricultural condi-

tions. Then we have five district news

gatherers whose business is to watch

every avenue of news in their respec-

tive territory and to wire us a story

of any doings that may come to their

ARIFF legislation





Tariff , *is a. dimcult gov-



(1 he ernmental problem at

‘an t best. It involves the

Farmer consideration of rev-





enue needed. by the

government, the equitable -. protection

of needed American industries and

American labor and the well-being of

American consumers. It would be dif-

ficult to write an equitable tariff law

if the question were approached in a

purely scientific manner by the most

capable economists. It is quite impos-

sible under the present method of tar~

iff legislation by congress. .





' But it ought not to be impossible to

secure fair and equitable tarifi sched-

ules where the public interest is all

on one side with only a minor indus-

trial interest to be considered in op-

position. Yet, the pending tariff bill





contains a provision which awaits ac-'





tion by the senate which is detriment-

al to the interests of both farmers and

consumers, in the provision for a grad?

uated duty on potash imported into

this country for a period of five years,

although potash is ostensibly left on

the free list.





The excuse for this is the protection

of an “infant industry.” Potash pro-

duction is one of our “war babies.”

But the process is expensive and the

product costly. It is neither reason-

able nor expedient that the farmers of

the country should be taxed millions

of dollars ‘per year in the increased

cost of potash fertilizers and the con-

sumers of the country millions more

for the increased cost of foodstuffs for

the benefit of this industrial war baby.

If this baby must be fed let’s do it

honestly and'above board out of the

public treasury rather than out of the

farmers’ pockets.





The senate should kill the joker at

the end of paragraph 1635 of the tariff

bill and leave potash for fertilizers on

the free list where it always has been.-

Michigam farmers would do well to

write their United States senators urg-

ing this course.





HE auto has made



A _ possible an edu-



- cational training that

New is of peculiar value to

School the farmer. We speak

,- of auto tours which

are rapidly becoming popular among

farm folks.



Auto tours are especially adapted to

bringing information of a. thoroughly

practical type to the farmer. In these

tours knowledge is gathered largely





first-hand. The producer of crops and‘





the breeder and feeder of animals





have to do largely with natural laws.

‘and things. and the training of the





eyes to see, and of the mind‘to com-

pare is very fundamental. This train-

ing is provided liberally in the travel-

ing school » ' as the auto tour.

in by practically every mail. The in-

teresting thing is that parties who

were in the tours ‘last year and the

year before are making. application

again‘for this seasons trips. ' . .



Besides theSe tours any number of

local excursions are being arranged by

groups of farmers to gain information

by visiting farms where lessons of pe-

culiar value are impressively taught

by the demonstration method. _. The

county agents are finding the“ new

school an unusually fine method for

bringing home to the farmers import-

ant lessons of the season’s work.

These tours are val-.uable Don’t miss

a single one if you can possibly go.

[-IE other day, the ground was too

before Sophie could find any more.har-

Then, too, Sophie was still in newtral

which made fishin’ more pleasant than

sitti‘n’ in and lookin’ out.



But as the fish wasn’t bitin’ I got

thinkin’ about people and why I do

and'don’t like them. While my physi-

cal activities was engaged in baitin’

hooks and holdin’ the pole in the wa-

cOnclushuns.





I don’t like folks for themselves but

for the good qualities they exhibit. For

and when some of

what you call pre-

dominate in a per-

son, I kinda like

that p e r s o n in

Now, there is

Susie Reynolds, she’s sweet as a peach

and powerfully good for the eyes, but

I think I would’rather be her admirer

than her husband, ’cause he 'would

have to get his own breakfast and

wash the dishes besides.



And Sam Smith, I like him a whole

lot for what you call his sociability

and generosity. But he’s always invite

in’ folks to his house for dinner which

makes him over-generous in the work

he gets for his wife to do.

Jim Ackerman’s proud of what he

' HE poultry tour which was held

in Ottawa county June 8, was.





f. ,; another great indication that the .





poultry business was evolving rapidly

from a side line which women only





This trip, in the center Of Michi-

.gan’s hatching industry, was run





strictly on a time schedule. The ar-





rangement of this schedule and its.

successful fulfillment is a great credit





' to County Agent Milham and the





poultrymen who cooperated with him.

The starting place was Coopersville

and the time 7: 00 a. m. From Coop-~





. ersville. the caravan of nearly one hun-





dred autos went through the famous

Hudsonville muck region and then to

Jamestown where many very fine

looking clover and alfalfa fields were

noted.



The first stop was at the farm of

”Clyde Hollis, who raises Wyandottes,

near Jamestown. Here Mr. C. M. Fer-

guson, of M. A. 0., gave some pointers

on the selection of breeders, the chief

of which were early maturity, precoc-

iousness and the refinement of the

head so necessary in good laying

strains.



At Walter Van Dam’s place we saw





I -over 1,500 chicks and 400 high-produc-





ing hens. Here Mr. E. C. Foreman, of

M. A. C., emphasized further the points

to be considered in selecting the lay-

ing type. The clean, refined 'head with

a large capacity body, are most essen-

tlal. In cockerels, the birds should be

flat-ribbed, close—feathered, and early-

maturing.- '



Young stock should be hatched so

that it will start laying in September

as the high price months for eggs are

from September to December. To get

pullets laying at this time they should

be hatched in February or March and

fed and cared for to bring about

early maturity and egg production.

An opportunity of. going through a





., Foreman type poultry house was of-~





fered by the stop at the farm of. Mar-.

garet Strick. Miss Strick was keeping

about 400 hens in this house, which

cost her about $1,200. From the stand-

point of light, ventilation and general

other testicle. When the bird is al-

lowed to resume its natural position

the house was cool and comfortable.



In his brief explanation Of the house,

Mr. Foremanvsaid that it might cost a

little more than the ordinary type, but

it would be the most economical in

the end, bcause of the better condition

of the hens. He showed a hen belong-

ing to Miss Strick which laid 103 eggs

in 11-0 days. She laid fifty-one eggs

before she skipped a day.



At the farm of Marinnus Brandt a

stop was made for lunch, and-also for

caponizing, killing and dressing dem-

onstrations. Mr. Ferguson demonstrat-

ed the simplicity of the caponizing op-

eration. The first essential is to tie

the-birds legs and wings to weighted

conds so that it can be stretched out

when operating. This is necessary.

because stretching frees the place Of

The feathers just above the hip are

wounds. Before operating the bird

should be kept from food for thirty-six

hours. It is also necessary to fre—

quently disinfect the tools while using.



Mr. Smith, of the Lakewood Farms,

gave the killing and dressing demon-

stration. The killing was done by

sticking in the mouth to sever the jug-

ular vein and to deaden the brain.

Then imediately following, the bird

was dry-picked.



At the farm of Thomas Beyer amon-

itor type house was inspected and

some culling work demonstrated. Mr.

Beyer had some very fine Anconas,

Rocks and Leghorns, also 2,000 young

chicks of these breeds. At George

Caball’s place some blue ribbon show-

room Rocks were looked over. And

at Mr. Wyngarden’s place some very

fine Anconas were seen. Here, also,

the production of infertile eggs was

discussed. There is no doubt as to

the value of the infertile egg for the

commercial market and of the useless-

ness of a male bird after the hatching

season is over.



A seventy-two—thousand egg hatchery

was seen at the Wolverine Hatchery





.at Zeeland. Here, too, coffee was serv-





ed, and County Agent C. P. Milham

gave a talk on the relation of the

hatcheries to the poultry industry. In

commercial incubation it is a common

practice to take the hatch off promptly

on the morning of the twenty-first day.

Thus all the weak and slow-hatching

chicks are discarded.

Many of the hatcheries





are very





careful 'about the stock from which -'





they get their eggs. They use nothing

but purebred stock and matings which

have a record for good egg production.

So in this way quality stock is being

rapidly distributed throughout the

country through the day-old chick bus-

iness.



Mr. Milham said that Ottawa county

had more poultry associations than any

other. The size of the industry in this

county is indicated by the fact that

its. commercial incubators have a ca-

pacity of one million and onehalf eggs

at one filling. The hatching season

lasts about twenty weeks, so during

the seasoln this territory will ship over“

eight million chicks.





~ After leaving the Wolverine hatch-

ery, the Grandview hatchery was vis—

ited. This is the largest hatchery in

the state, having a capacity of 96,000

At the time of the

visit the eggs were airing with the in-

cubator trays pulled out. One can

imagine what a fine .sight dozens of

rows of trays of pure white eggs near-

ly a block long would make.



At the farm of C. DeJonge the poul-

try enthusiasts had an opportunity of

seeing the large shed type house and

thousands of Leghorn and Amoona

hens. Mr. DeJonge was also raising a.

large number of chicks of these two

breeds.

GRAND RAPIDS TO HOLD POTATO

, MICHIGAN is to have a potato show

this year. it has been definitely

~ decided to hold such a show in con—





I junction with the annual meeting of

' ciety at Grand Rapids during the week

elation, the exchange at Cadillac,





county agents. etc. A wide variety of

were compared for yield at the Geneva





Experiment Station. Wide differences

were found in the yields, ranging from

nothing to 141.8 per cent of the aver-

age yield Of the two plants of the pair,

with an average difference of 23. 4 per

cent. This rather unexpected result

is said to indicate that there are prob-

ably important factors affecting the

yield of potatoes which are unknown

or which are not now fully appreciat-

ed. An unequal number of stalks per

plant is known tO have been an im-

portant cause of the differences in

yield noted in the station experiments.



It is believed that these wide differ-

ences in yield of plants from halves of

, the same seed tuber which would ordi-

narily be expected to be quite uniform,

show that. the improvement of pota—

toes by the hill selection method can-





not to be carried to full perfection.



The usual farm practiCe of selecting

seed potatoes from the best yielding

hills should not be affected by these

findings,” say the experts, “as they are

of interest primarily to the expert or

to those attempting to develop im-

proved strains of potatoes. Selecting

seed potatoes from high-yielding hills

has been thoroughly demonstrated as

a Satisfactory method for maintaining

high yields.”





 





CULTIVATE THE POTATOES BE.

THE practice followed by George

Spencer in the cultivation of his

potatoes is the same as that used by

many other successful growers. He

plows in the fall or early in the spring





 





 





 





 





 

 





 

 





 





 





 

 

 





and works the ground frequently and

thoroughly until the date arrives for

planting. Then after the tubers are

in the ground he harrows over them

until the plants are Of sufficient size to

demand the two-horse cultivator. Just

one or two shallow cultivations after

that is all that is necessary. George

has other work to do when the aver-

age grower is cultivating. He is eith-

er spraying or is down under the lea

of the river angling for bull-heads.

amount $37,737,543 Were on loans for

agricultural and live stock purposes.

Repayments were made to the cor-

$26,507,833. Repayments of agricul-





‘tural and live stock loans amounted to





$12,708,756, of which $9,153,437 was

SHALLOW on DEEP CULTIVA-

' Tl'ON.





 





. w 1

HIGH is the better practice, to



. ' cultivate the corn shallow or



deep? This is an annual question



with-the majority of farmers who grow



corn. That it has important possibili-



ties is demonstrated by recent experi-



ments Conducted by the Missouri Ex-



-. periment Station. In one plot of



corn where the only cultivation was to



scrape the surface of the ground suffi-



ciently to kill weeds the crop yielded



. 39.8 bushels of; shelled corn per acre.



. ' ,. ‘ Corn receiving shallow cultivation

' yielded 30.1 bushels per acre, and corn



that was cultivated at an average





 





 





 





Many Famous Men Got their Training

in the Country School.





 





 





O

depth of five inches throughout the

- season, yielded 23.6 bushels per acre.

- . ' Shallow late cultivation gave an ad-

' vanta e over the deep eu'ltivations of

4.1 bushels more shelled corn to the

acre.



. Deep cultivation, if practiced, should

be done the first time through the corn

before the root systems of the plants

are likely to be disturbed by the cul-



._= . tivator. A cultivator with a large num-

ber of shovels run shallow is prefer-

able to one with a few shovels which

are run deep. The plan most general-



, 1y followed at the present time is to

harrow the‘corn field once before the

corn is up and again before it is large



, r _ enough to cultivate. This breaks up



i ’ . the crust and serves to dry out and



i warm the soil.' It alSo reduces the



damage done by insects, ‘vcrows and

rodents. Others also use the cultivator

before the corn is up, by following the

marks made by the corn planter.





SOME ADVANTAGES OF RED

CLOVER.





N promoting the use of other leg-

umes, we should not lose sight of



. .the' advantages of this old stand-by,

1 1 8 red clover. Every intelligent farmer

has been thoroughly converted to the

rotation idea. Most‘farmers nowadays

realize that the key crop in a rotation



is the legume crop. No other legume



' fits into-our popular crop rotation sys-



. . terns in Michigan better than does red

V clover. This crop can be started with-

~ j out refitting the field. No extra culti-

vation is, necessary. Under good con-

Since oxen trumped out wheat

on the threshing floor, no more

important invention has been





made than the modem thresh-

er that saves all the! grain.





   

 





ARMERSeverywhero are rapidly



recognizing the new era of farm-r

ing—the era of Fordson Farming,

the era of farming-profit without

the toil and the drudgery unavoidable

when old-fashioned methods were

employed. For the farmer of“ today

has come to realize the tremendous

advantages now/offered him through

the use of mechanical power—bigger

crops, larger profits with time for

pleasure doubled.



- Highly important in the era of



F ordson Farming is the Wood Broth- l





a big yield is assured because. all t/u

grain i: saved.



This big yield feature illustrates

what is probably the chief advantage

in farming with the powerful, light-

weight, inexpensive F ordson and the

Standard Equipment that operates so

perfectly with it.



Not only 'does this combination put

the soil into the very best of condi—

tion, giving the seed an opportunity

to produce its utmost, but with Stand-

ard Individual threshing equipment, l

all of the grain is saved in the very best ‘

of condition. ' i



Saving of grain is dependent upon

two things: suflicient power, and a

separator that will thresh clean. When

grain is once blown into the straw

stack, there is no means of recover-

ing it. f ._



VPatterned in simplicity after the

F ordson itself, and built in large quan-

tities, the Wood Brothers Individual

RIGHT To VOTE.





 





Does the wife of am American cit-

izen and taxpayer have equal voting

rights with her husband. or would she

require a. joint deed with her hus«

band?—W. N. J.





The right to votedepends upon the

law of the state. Ownership of prop:

erty is that an essential.



Marriage makes no difference.—

Rood.





TELEPHONE POLES.





 





What height 'must telephone poles

be? Most of the poles along my place

are not over eight feet high. Also, can

a. telephone company set poles along

a highway without paying the owner

of the land for the right-of—way?——-A. S.



There is no provision in the law

which regulates the height of tele-

phone poles along the highway.





The Telephone Company may set,





poles along the highway where they

have the consent and approval of this

department without paying the owner

of the land for the right-of-way.—

SCHOOL PURCHASE OF PIANO.





 





Has the school board of a district

any authority to use school funds for

the purchase of a. musical instrument

for community meetings? The vote

was taken at said meeting with no

notice to the voters of the district and

not at the annual meeting—E. H. H.





I would say that the board of a dis-

trict has no authority to use school

funds to purchase a musical instru-

ment for community meetings. The

school board might purchase a musical

instrument for the school and that in-

strument could be used if community

meetings were held in the schoolhouse

if the board permitted it.——Cofiey.





INTEREST RATES.





 





Will you please tell me what the

legal interest is in Michigan? Have

banks, the insurance companies, or

any other company any right to charge

more than legal interest?-C. D. P.





The rate in Michigan without speci—

fication is five per cent. By contract

it may be seven. Pawnbrokers are al-

lowed to charge more than that. That

is the limit of interest rates that can

be charged. There is nothing to pre-

vent the owmer of a note executed by

any other person selling it for any

price he can get, which may be one

cent on the dollar and might shew a

return of several hundred per cent in-

terest.——Rood.





CUTTING SWEET CLOVER.





 





I have a. field of sweet clover which

I sowed late last summer. It is rather

thin on the ground. Now, can I cut

this and then get seed from the sec-

ond growth or should I let it seed from

the first growth?——A Reader.





Whether or not you should take the

present crop of sweet clover for seed

will depend very largely upon the

stage to which the plants have devel-

oped. The proper time to cut the first

crop is just before the blossom buds

appear. The height is also very im-

portant. A few leaves should be left





attached to the stubble'in order that





the buds will start development and

produce a second crop.



If the sweet clover is in full bloom

at the present time it will be neces-

sary for you to cut the plants from

eight to ten inches above the ground,

while if the blossom buds are just

forming, from six to eight inches

would likely leave a few leaves attach-

ed to the stubble. If the blossom buds





 





second to mature seed. while if the

sweet clover is in full bloom at the

present time, would suggest allowing

this crop to form seed.



Sweet clover is indeterminate in

growth, that is, it does not mature all

of its seed at the same time. A single

plant oftentimes has mature seed, one-

half mature seed. and blossom on the

same date. If the. first crop is pas-

tured or cut, the plants tend to mature

their seed much re evenly.—Megee.



Special BulletiniNo. 113 on the cul—

ture of sweet clover may be secured

from Dean R. S. Shaw, East Lansing,

Michigan. This bulletin gives detailed

information concerning the special at-

tachment for mowing machine that

makes it possible to cut the clover

from eight to ten inches high.——Megee.





WILD OATS.





 





Will you please tell me if wild oats

that came up in alfalfa, if out and fed

to stock, will come up where the ma-

nure is spread? This field has been

seeded to alfalfa for five years and I

never saw wild oats there until last

year. I do not know where they came

from.—E. M. B





Unless manure from stock fed alfaL '

fa hay carrying wild cats is carefully

composted, a spread of wild oats can

be expected from its use. A small

percentage of wild oats apparently rev

tain their germination after passing

through live stock. Many seeds also

find their way directly into the ma-

nure.



Wild oats were brought into Michi-

gan to a considerable extent in seed of

western spring wheat, planted exten«

sively in .Michigan during the war

years. Cutting before seed forms is

the most effective way of eradicating

this pest—Cox.





SPRAY FOR WILD MUSTARD.’





 





I have a. field of hulleSs blue barley,

sown early this spring, and seeded to

orchard grass and als’ike clover. This

field is entirely green with mustard,

and to all appearances the barley and

the new seeding have; no chance at

all to survive. I am interested in learn-

ing if there is any kind of a spraying

solution that will destroy the mustard '

and not injure the new seeding—M. S.



There is no spray that will prove

satisfactory under your conditions.

The mustard is an .annual plant and

should not be allowed to produce seed.



The field should either receive clean

cultivation or else be frequently clip. .

ped to prevent the seeding of the mus-

tard.-——Megee.





MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES.





 





Ten years ago I married a man with

whom I lived happily for four years,

and then the second woman appeared

and said she was his wife. He said

he did not want her, so he left me, .

and neither she nor I have heard from

him since. I saw a lawyer and he told

me that I did not need a. divorce, so

last fall I married again. Now I am

told by my present husband that I am

a bigamist. He says I am nothing to

him? Am I lawfully married to him?

Can I make him support me, and what

support can I make him give, if any?

—W. C. B. ~



A marriage by one who has a spouse

living undivorced is absolutely void,

and needs no annulment; and a sub-

sequent marriage entered into by. the

other party to the second marriage is

absolutely valid. It is possible that.

the other party to the third marriage

Francisco Farm Notes

By P. P. Pops





 





 





(-3 used to think we knew how to

make hay. We had no system,

no regular plan. When the hay

/was ready to out we would -cut it.

When it was cured we would rake it

into windrows and haul to the barn.

We often made good hay but never

knew where we were at, so to speak,

and there was a great deal of confus-

ion. We found our work very hard

to plan ahead, we did mot get a’. uni-

form quality of hay, and haying was

a bugbear, sometimes it almost be-

came a nightmare.



Now we can speak of system on the

farm, we realize that, although it

sounds good to talk about and can be

worked out very

nicely on paper, a

little thunder

cloud is liable to

knock. it into a

cocked hat. Es-

pecially is this

true in hay time.

A systematic plan

of doing things

does not adapt it-

self readily to

work that is very

largely dependent upon weather un-

less it be very flexible, for no system

has yet been devised that can control

the clouds and the sunshine. There are

a few general principles of hay—mak-

ing, however, that, when once thor-

oughly understood, aid materially in

relieving the strain and avoiding the

confusion of the season.





We married a wife a number of

years ago and when we went to help

her father make hay we learned some

of these things. First, rain or dew

will mot hurt freshly cut hay any more

than that left standing. Second, mois-

ture allowed to accumulate upon and

evaporate again from hay in the swath

after it is once partially cured, will

cause great damage. _Third, hay will

A Telephone City '

Above is an imaginary city, made by grouping together

one-fifth of the buildings owned by‘the Bell System, and

used in telephone service. Picture to yourself a city five





times as great and you will have an idea of the amount of

real estate owned by the Bell System throughout the country.





If all these buildings were grouped together, they would

make a business community with 400 more buildings than

_ the total number of office buildings in New York City, as

classified by the Department of Taxes and'Assessments.





Next to its investment in modern telephone equipment,

the largest investment of the Bell System. is in its L600

modern buildings, with a value of $l44,000,000. Rang-

ing in size from twenty-seven stories down to one—stery,

they are used principally as executive offices, central offices,

storehouses and garages. The modern construction of most

of the buildings is indicated by the fact that the investment

in buildings is now over three times what it was ten years ago.





Every building owned by the Bell System must be so

constructed and so situated as to serve with efficiency the

telephone public in each locality, and to be a sound invest-

ment for future requirements.

An ex-Secretary of Agriculture startled the country with the statement that

“we annually lose ONE BILLION DOLLARS by improper handbag at

manure.”





This enormous waste could practically all be saved by following the principles

laid down by certain famous students of this subject. The priceless ideas

these men are fully outlined and illustrated in the

“Oh, please hurry.” _There was

pleading in the tone now. “Please."



The car creaked upward. Out came

Fairchild, brushing the dust from his





clothes. But already the girl was

pressing the lug wrench into his

hands.





“Don’t mind that dirt,” came her ex-

clamation. “I'll—I’ll give you some

extra money to get your suit cleaned.

Loosen these lugs, while I get the

spare tire off the back. And for good-

ness’ sake, please hurry.”



Astonishment had taken away

speech for Fairchild. He could only

wonder—and obey. Swiftly he twirled

the wrench while lug after lug fell to

the ground, and while the girl, strug-

gling with a tire seeming almost as

big as herself, trundled the spare into

position to await the transfer. As' for

Fairchild, he was in the midst of a

task which'he had seen performed

far more times than he had done it

himself. He strove to remove the

blown-out shoe with the cap still

screwed on the valve stem; he fussed

and swore under his breath, and pant-

ed, while behind him a girl in whip—

cord riding habit and close-pulled cap





fidgeted first on one tan-clad foot, then '





on the other, anxiously watching the

road behind her and calling constant-

ly for speed.



At last the job was finished, the girl

fastening the useless shoe behind the

machine while Fairchild fastened the

last of the lugs. Then as be straight-

ened, a small figure shot to his side,

took the wrench from his hand and

sent it, with the other tools, clattering

into the tonneau. A tiny hand went

into a pocket, something that crinkled

was shoved into the man’s grasp, and

while he stood there gasping, she leap—

ed to the driver’s seat, slammed the

door, spun the starter until it whined,

and with open cutout roaring again,

was off and away, rocking down the

mountain side, around a curve and out

of sight while Fairchild merely stood

there, staring wonderingly at a ten-

dollar bill.



A noise from the rear, growing loud-

er, and the amazed man turned to see

a second machine, filled with men,

careening toward him. Fifty feet away

the brakes creaked, and the big auto-

mobile came to a skidding, dust-throw

ing stop. A sun-browned man in a

Stetson hat, metal badge gleaming

from beneath his coat, leaned forth.



“Which way did he go?”



“He?” Robert Fairchild stared.



“Yeh. Didn’t a man just‘pass here

in an automobile? Where’d he go—

straight on the main road or off on the

circuit trail?”



“It—it wasn’t a man."



“Not a man?” The four occupants





 





of the machine stared at him. "Don't

try to bull us that it was a woman.”



“Oh, no—no—of course not.” Fair-

child had found his senses. “But it

wasn’t a man. It—it was a boy, just

about fifteen years old.”



“Sure?”



“Oh, yes—” Fairchild was swimming

in deep water now. “I got a good look

at him. He—-—he took that road off to

the left.”



It was the opposite one to which the

hurrying fugitive in whipcord had tak-

en. There was doubt in the interro-

gator’s eyes.



“sure of that?” he queried.

auto bandit ahead of us. We—”

surveyed the winding road before him

and scratched his head.



“Don’t guess it would have made

much difference which way he went,"

came ruefully at last, “I never saw a

fellow turn loose so much speed on a

mountain road We never could have

caught him!"



“Dangerous character?" Fairchild

hardly knew why he asked the ques-

tion. The .sheriff smiled grimly.



“Ill it was the fellow we were after,

he was plenty dangerous. “We were

trailing him on word from Denver—-

described the car and said he’d pulled

a daylight hold-up on a pay-wagon for

the smelter Company—so when the

car went through Golden, we took up





 





 





 





“Well, I wouldn’t swear to it. There

was another machine ahead, and I lost

’em both for a second down there by

the turn. I didn’t see the other again,

but I did get a glimpse of one off on

that side road. It looked like the car

that passed me. That’s all I know.”



“Probably him, all right.” The voice

came from the tonneau. “Maybe he

figured to give us the slip and get

back to Denver. You didn’t notice the

license number?” This to Fairchild.

That bewildered person shook his

head.



“No. Didn’t you?”



“Couldn’t—00vered with dust when

we first took the trail and never got

close enough afterward. But it was

the same car—that’s almost a cinch.”



“Let’s go!” The sheriff was pressing

a foot on the accelerator. Down the

hill went the car, to skid, then to

make a short turn on the road which

led away from the scent, leaving be-

hind a man standing in the middle of

the road, staring at a ten-dollar bill—-

and wondering why he had lied!





CHAPTER IV.





0NDERMENT which got no-



where. The sheriff’s car return-

ed before Fairchild reached the bot-

tom of the grade, and again stopped

to survey the scene of defeat, while

Fairchild once 'more told his story,

deleting items which, to him appeared

unnecessary for consumption by offi-

cers of the law. Carefully the sheriff

the trail a couple of blocks behind. He

kept the same speed for a little while

until one of my deputies, got a little

anxious and took a shot at a tire. Man,

how he turned on the juice! I thought

that thing was a jack rabbit the way

it went up the hill! We never had a

chance after that!” ‘ '



“And you’re sure it was the same

person?"



The sheriff toyed with the gear shift.



“You never can be sure about noth-

ing in this business,” came finally.

“But there’s this to think about: if

that fellow wasn’t guilty of something,

why did he run?”



“It mighh have been a kid in a stol-

en machine,” came from the back seat.



“If it was, we’ve got to wait until

we get a report of it. I guess it’s

us back to the office.”



The automobile went its way then,

and Fairchild his, still wondering; the

sheriff’s question, with a different gen-

der, recurring again and again:



“If she wasn’t guilty of something,

why did she run?” '



And why had she? More, why had

she been willing to give ten dollars in

payment for the mere changing of a

tire? And why had she not offered

some explanation of it all? It was a

problem which almost wiped out for

Robert Fairchild the zest of the new

life into which he was going, the great

gamble he was about to take. And so

thoroughly did it engross him that it





was not until a truck had come to a '





full stop behind him, made. driver

mingled a shot with the tooling of his

horn, that he turned to allow its pass

sage.



“Didn’t hear you, old man," he apol-





ogized, “Could you give a fellow a.

lift?" .

“Guess so." It was friendly, even





though a bit disgruntled; “hop on.”

And Fairchild hopped, once moreto

sit on the tailboard, swinging his legs,

but this time his eyes saw the ever-

changing scenery without noticing it.

In spite of himself, Fairchild found

himself constantly staring at a vision

of a pretty girl in a riding habit, with

dark-brown hair straying about equally

dark-brown eyes, almost' frenzied in

her efforts to change a tire in time to

elude a pursuing sheriff. Some way, it





all didn't blend. Pretty girls, no doubt,





could commit infractions of the, law

just as easily as ones less gifted with





' good looks. Yet if this“ particular pret-





ty girl had held up a pay wagon, why

didn’t the telephoned notice from Den-

ver state the fact, instead of referring

to her as a man? And if she hadn’t

committed some sort of depredation

against the law, why on earth was she





‘willing to part with ten dollars, mere-





ly to save a few moments in changing

a tire and thus elude a sheriff? If

there had been nothing wrong, could

not a moment of explanation have sat-

isfied any one of the fact? Anyway,

weren’t the officers looking for a man

instead of for a woman? And yet:



“If she wasn’t guilty of something,

why did she run?”



It was too much for anyone, and

Fairchild knew it. Yet he clung grim-

ly to the mystery as the truck clat-

tered on, mile after mile,. while the

broad road led along the sides of the

hills, finally to dip downward and run

beside the bubbling Clear Creek—

clear no longer in the memory of the

oldest inhabitant; but soiled by the

silica from ore deposits that, churned

and r‘echurned, gave to the stream a

whitish, almost milk-like character, as

it twisted in and out of the tortuous

canon on its turbulent journey to the

sea. But Fairchild failed to notice

either that or the fact that ancient,

age-whitened water wheels had begun

to appear here and there, where gulch

miners, seekers after gold'in the silt

of the creek’s bed, had abandoned

them years before; that now and then

upon the hills showed the gaunt scars

of mine openings—reminders of the

dreams of a day long past; or even the

more important fact that m the dis-

tance, softened by the mellowing rays

of a dying sun, a small town gradually

was coming into view. A mile more,

then the truck stopped with a jerk.

“Miner?” ' " ‘

Fairchiid shrugged his shoulders

and nodded inanvcommittedly. The





truck driver toyed with his wheel.

' -“.Iu‘st thought I’d ask. Plenty of





work around here for single and don-





f 'b1e_ Jackets. Things are beginning to

_ look up a bit-at least in silver. Gold





mines ain't doing much yep—but there





’ . is a good deal happening with the

“Thanks. Do youknow a good place .

“Yeh. Mother Howard’s Boarding





Everybody goes there, sooner

or later. You’ll see it on the left-hand





‘ side of the street before you get to





the main block. Good old girl; knows

how to treat anybody in the mining

game from operators on down. She

was here when mining was mining!”



Which was enough recommendation

for Mother HoWard. Fairchild lifted

his bag from the rear of the vehicle,

waved a farewell to the driver and

started into the village. And then—

for once—the vision of the girl depart-

ed, momentarily, to give place to. other

thoughts, other pictures, of a day long

ago.



The sun was slanting low, throwing

deep shadows from the hills into the

little valley with its chattering, milk-

white streamg softening the scars of

the mountains with their great refuse

dumps; reminders of hopes of twenty

years before and as bare of vegetation





_ as in the days when the pick and gad

and drill of the prospector tore the





ruck loose from its hiding place under

the surface of the ground. Nature, in

the mountainous country, resents any

outrage against her dignity; the scars

never heal; the mine dumps of a score

of years ago remain the same, without

a single shrub or weed or blade of

grass growing in the big heaps of

rocky refuse to shield them.

IVY POISONING.





 





O prevent ivy poisoning the

simplest and most effective



~ measure is washing the exposed

parts with a good suds of hot water

and laundry soap, soon after exposure.

The poison is an oily principle called

Toxi- codendrol. It stays on the sur-

face for Some little time without do-

ing much damage and thus a man may

takea thorough wash at the end, of

his day’s work and get rid of it. Any-





: thing short of thoroughness doesmore





harm than good as it simply results in





4 smearing the poisonous oil over a





greater surface. The water must .be

hot and the soap must be”worked into





a good suds and thoroughly applied





with a soft ’cloth. It is well to follow

this firm: a rinsing bath.



Some workers find much protection

from annointing the places most likely

to be exposed with olive oil or vaseline





( -- before exposure. This must 'be well





washed off at the closeof the day. .





Alcohol is a solvent of the oil.‘ It





, _ may. bediluted with an equal quantity





,of‘ water and used to sponge the ex-

posed parts. But it must be need free-

ly encugh to wash the poison clear.





_ Otherwise it will serve only to spread "

“ ggit farther. ‘





Many persons find protection by tak-

31139111114111 of the poison in small

as hefore thereeason begins. Thus





 





. below the rheostat; the plate circuit





is helped by the addition of cooking

sodo, alevel teaspotmful to the quart

of water. If the eruption is severe

apply a hot solution of permanganate

cf potash; use it in one per cent solu-

tion, but remember that this drug will

stain the skin a brownish color. The

application of lemon juice will remove

this discoloration, or in time it will

wear away without help.



I do not recommend the much used

“sugar of lead." I think that it often

prolongs the case though it does give

temperary relief from the itching. The

blisters may be drained, but be care-

ful not to break the skin badly; just

a small puncture is all that is needed.



In very severe. cases the patient

should be kept in bed, on light diet,

and saline laxatives used.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF A

YACUUM TUBE.





 





i





PBARATUS which is purchased



[ready-made is usually assembled

correctly and connected in a manner

to get the best possible results and the

only thing necessary for the operator

to dopis to make sure he has connect-

ed the positive and negative poles of

the, storage battery in the proper place

and make all connections secure.



In a-home-made set there are several

things to take into account. The most

important feature is connecting the

apparatus in the proper manner to

make the tube operate as efficiently as

possible. It is quite generally the

thing for an' amateur builder to totally

disregard the difference between the

positive and the negative poles of the

filametnt lighting battery, but there is

but one way to connect the “A” bat-

tery to the negative grid and plate

leads and to the bulb and rheostat to

obtain the highest efl‘iciency and the

longest life from the “B” battery. The

rheostat should be in themegative lead

to the socket; the grid circuit should

have its “grounded” end connected to

the negative side of the “A” battery,





should be connected to the positive

terminal. If this method is used in

connecting up the set the filament need.

not be lighted as brightly to get loud

signals as is necessary when the grid

circuit is connected to the positive

side or above the rheostat.



An important consideration is the

grid leak. If one is used that has a

variable resistance it is well to make

several tests in order to secure the

best working conditions. The grid leak





will be found to have a marked effech





upon the brilliancy with which the

filament must be burned. ‘ If the resist-

ance is too low the bulb will start os-

cillating with a click when the plate

variometer is rotated toward maxi—

mum; if it is too high the bulb will

howl and make all kinds of peculiar

noises in the ’phones.



Frequently a receiving tube is brand-

ed as “no good” because it will (not

oscillate readily when the plate vari-

ometer is rotated; however, this trou-





ble may be overcome by placing a low '





capacity, or even a variable capacity

condenser across the ’phones. Tests

of different condensers will readily

prove whether or not the difficulty

may be fixed.

UCI-I may be said of the relative

value'of glass jars and tin cans

as. containers for preserving

products for commercial and home use.

When considered from a. commercial

standpoint, the advamtage of the tin

can over the glass jar is generally





- conceded because of the easier hand-

= ling, transportation, and storing. More





work can be accomplished in a given

length of time and with less expense

by using the tin can.



Even in home «use, the tin can is

now replacing the glass jar. The

United States Department of Agricul-

ture has this to say: “The use of tin

cans is regarded as entirely practical

for the home—canning of surplus fruits

and vegetables of the farm. Their use

for this ‘purpose is recommended be<





tion. The sealing of a tin can is a

comparatively simple matter. The use

of tin cans for the canning of surplus

fruits and vegetables has the further

advantage that products so packed are

easily handled in transportation and

storage.”



For sterilization in the pressure

cooker, the tin cam has a real advan-

tage ove1 the glass ja1. A steam pres-

sure of five to fifteen pounds must be

developed in the piessure cooke1.

There is a consequent pressure within

the jar or the can. If the glass jars

are used, the pressure in the cooker

must be released slowly or the' high

pressure inside the jar will cause the

contents of the jar to boil over since

the glass jar must not be sealed tight





Will you please tell me how long to

cook two- qualt cans of corn, and two-

quart cans of tomatoes, I mean the

cold- pack way? I use a wash boiler

to cook cans in. I find if I spread a

cloth over the boiler and then put

the cover on I do not need to add

water so often and it takes less fuel.

plete. Since the pressure must be re»





leased slowly, there is a, consequent

HE history of Judah and Israel



is one of big men and little men.



It Was but a‘ brief hundred years

(this being a. review lesson) one can

spread out the long and powerful story

like a map. Here is a mountain of a

man, there, an ant~hill of a man (a lot

of them, that’s the pity of it), but for

the most ' part there are plains and

hills, the common folk. But at the root

of it all is the big man. Without him





' there is .no great idea, no leadership,

rno inspiration, no romance, no glory.





EVen God cannot use a small man for

a great task. If he does, the small

main becomes great in the doing of it.

Who are the men who made the

kingdoms of Judah and Israel possi-

‘ ble? Through

whom did Deity

"send light and

o truth into the

world ?' Some-

: times it was a

king, like Josiah

or David. Some-

times a quiet man

never much heard

of, like Micaiah.

S o m e t i m e s ' a

prophet,‘ large of

brain and soul,

like Isaiah or Jeremiah. The title does

not make the man then or now. The

private citizen is not infrequently the

most dynamic figure in the nation.

The great prophets all believed in

the greatness of their nation. But by

greatness they did not mean wide ter-

ritory, or a powerful standing army,

or wealthy merchants, or populous cit-

ies. These may all have their place,

unless we except the standing army.

But nations have had all these and

not endured. What the prophet de-

sired above all, was a nation that fear-

ed Jehovah, and that practiced justice

and righteousness. The prophet be-

lieved absolutely in national defense.

He believed in preparedness. He be-

lieved in being ready for emergency.

But he stood for moral preparedness.

He thundered the truth that social rot-

tenness cannot be counterbalanced by

a big army. He looked to God’s ideals

of justice as the greatest piece of arm-

ament that could be adopted. Hence

he often ridiculed the idea of alliances

with other nations. Such expedients,

he said, were but broken reeds on

which to lean. In short, the prophet

was a man with an ideal.





 





OW, to have a lofty ideal for one’s



.. nation is time. But to maintain

it in the face of all manner of hind-

rances is hard. Many a. burning opti-

mist goes forth in the morning to re-

form the world, only to return at

night, a dreary cynic. The prophet was

a dreamer, but he was more. He did

not build up a world in‘imagination,

only. He lived in contact with society.

He knew the duplicity of men as well





as their sincerity, and he knew the fol—‘





lies 'of kings only too well. He was

acquainted with all the arguments with

which the rich defended their oppres-

sions. But in spite of all this, he kept

his optimism, hisfaith in the goodness

of an over-ruling Providence. He said,

the night is here, but the morning com-

eth! He said, the world is weary with

long travel, but we will tighten our

belts and go one more lap in the

journey.-





Such men have. kept the world from,





moral putrefaction. Without them all

would have been lost icing ago- ,The

over the' British, and established pros- '

perity and peace in his island domain“

Whittier has a. poem on Barclay of‘

'Ury, which commemorates the fidelity

of this nobleman to his new-found

faith, Which was that of the Quakers.

He had been a soldier and was held in





very high esteem. But because of the





religious principles which he now pro-

fessed, he was subjected to mob V10:

lence. -One day‘when the rabble had

been particularly insulting he said, “I

find more satisfaction as well as honor

in being thus insulted for my religious

principles, than when, a few years ago,

it was usual for the magistrates, as I

passed the city of Aberdeen, to meet

me on the road and conduct me to

public entertainment in their hall, and

then escort me out again, to gain my

favor." "





E are not far from the dark ages. ‘



Looking back over the years

ago that children were employed in

English factories from five in the

morning till ten at night. No child was;

employed under the age of five, the

law required! When a child fell asleep

at its work, or fell over from exhaus‘

tion, he was whipped. Children got

up at four, went through snow and

rain, while their parents were still in

bed, to begin the day’s work. The

profits from this sort of toil were so

enormous that they were counted in

the thousands'of per cent. Men of

humanity saw the awful savagery of

the system and strove to put an end to

it. Yet so intense was the greed of

stockholders that not even the bitter

cry of the children for a long time

could arouse the public. One of the

factory reformers was Richard Oast—

ler, a poor man, who never had a fac-

tory of his own. After years of effort

to get a ten-hour day, he was impris—

oned for debt and remained in prison

four years. Friends raised fifteen thou-

sand dollars, and he was released. On

nearing home he was met by thou-

sands of people who had assembled to

greet him. The roads were thronged.

Even so, Oastler lived in old age in

deep poverty, his very name unknown





 





to many. But none of these things

moved him. He was the author of an

undying saying: “The noblest of all

martyrdoms is that of an old age im-

poverished by the generous sacrifice

of youth.”



All this is in the spirit of the proph-

ets who pointed Israel and Judah to-

ward the better Way of life and

strength. That their words were not

heeded in no way lessens their value.

To this day the social teachings of

Amos, Isaiah and the others, remain as

standards of justice, righteousness and

brotherhood which we have not at-

tained. One of the most profitable

courses which any Bible class could

pursue would be a course on the teach-

ings of the prophets on social justice.



Large concerns are becoming more

numerous which have no labor trou-

bles, because the management seeks to

promote justice and fair dealing with

every employe. As Amos put it, “Let

justice roll down as waters and right-

eousness as a mighty stream.” An in-

terestingdiscussion may be held' on

the question, what is a traitor, and

what is a patriot? Was Jehoiada who

killed the queen, a traitor? Were

Washington and others who fought the

British king traitors? John Knox put

it well: “Resistance to tyrants is

obedience to;God.”

By Uncle Frank

NOTHING surprised me so muchas

the. response to our drawing con-

test. Over 200 drawings, most of which

show some real artistic talent, made

me realize that there was more art

ability in this state than I ever thought

there would be.

Again the girls scored heavily in the

number of entries in the contest, but

-much to‘ my surprise the boys show up





very well in the better quality of work.

In fact, I believe they beat the girls in

this respect. .



All I can give this week is the names

of the winners, as I have not had time

to get the prize-winning pictures for

printing. In next week's issue these

drawings will appear and perhaps also

some of those of the boys ‘and girls

who received honorable mention. I

have departed from our usual custom

in giving honorable mention because

so many of the drawings showed real

ability.



Some time later we will try another

drawing contest. Perhaps than I shall

assign a certain subject. What do you

CONVENTION.





HIS year the mecca of Holstein



breeders was Kansas City, where

one of the most constructive programs

yet held by this progressive group of

men was carried out. The occasion

was the thirty-seventh annual conven-

tiom. They changed the constitution

'of' the organization to give the board

of directors authority to elect the sec-





of advanced registry. A better basis

for judging Holstein cattle was unani-

mously‘ adopted.



Exhibits were put on by the aSSOci-

ation, the government, the states and

the National Dairy Union, which sim-

ply drove the simple but profound

truths about the dairy. business and

what itmeans to the race, deep into

the minds and hearts of the most retir-





group.



e A cooperative sale was held'in which

175 head of outstanding Holsteins

gathered from the four corners of the

country were sold for the average

price, of $470 per head. The top figure

of $3,200 was paid for "a forty-pound

cow. .



In next week’s issue a detailed re-

port of the big event written by Prof.

J. H. Frandsern, dairy editor and coun-

selor of the Capper Farm Press, will

be published.





JERSEY BREEDERS HOLD FARM

MEETINGS.





HE progressive Jersey breeders of

Oceans county put on a series of

farm meetings on Wednesday, June 7,

These get-together sessions were held

in banns on the premises of O. 0. An-

derson, Sam Odell, Charles Krause

and Corwin Estate.

Professor Brownell, cf the dairy de-

partment of the Michigan Agricultural





ers present at the meetings some very

interesting talks on judging, breeding,

care aind feeding of dairy cows. " The

value of lectures given under the iden—

tical conditions in which the farmer is

obliged to carry on his business is

greatly enhanced, and lessons accom-

panied with practical demonstrations

practical man can get the kernel.

Thus did it seem at this series of gath-

dairy breed housed in well-equipped

barns it was possible for the speakers

FLY REPELLANT MIXTURES.





HE dairyman finds the fly an ex-



' pensive inhabitant of his premises.

Flies reduce the milk. flow materially

by annoying the cows. It is the prac-

tice now to protect the cows through

the use of repellent mixtures. The

extension division of the college sug-

gests this mixture: Take twelve

ounces of crude carbolic acid, twelve

ounces of turpentine, twelve ounces of

oil of ,tar, and three-fourths of an

oufice/o‘f tannin. To these should be

added enough kero‘Sene to make five

gallons of the mixture. Use this-ma-

teriala‘in an atomizer and spray the

cattle in the stable night and morning.

Another mixture recommended is to

In the fourteen associations the 3,305

AUGURAL SALE.





ICHlGAN Hereford breeders‘ held

, their inaugural auction at, the

well-known Sotham Hereford Farm, at

St. Clair, on June 14: The purpose of

this sale, as stated by T. F. B. Sotham,

is to increase the number of breeders

of white-faced cattle in the eastern

districts of Michigan. Not only did they

succeed at the sale in interesting a,

number of farmers in taking the ini~

tial step in the breeding of Hereford

cattle, but the animals offered sold bet.

ter than the breeders had anticipated.

Mr. DeGeus, of Prairie Farms, paid the

highest price for Domino Fairfax, an

outstanding young bull bred by Mr.

Sotham, the price being $345. Thirty-Six

animals were sold for breeding pur-

poses at~ an average price of $151.

The following were among the buy-

erspf breeding stock: Charles Ruff,

of St. Clair; Chas Smith, of Shaver;

Merriman Brothers, Deckerville; Harry

Lemberg, St. Clair; Frank Ridley, of

Deckerville; Jacob DeGeus, of Prairie

Farms, Alicia; Chris Stein, St. Clair;

Burton Baird, Smith Creek; R. W. An-

derson, Clarkston; Richard Goff, Deck-

erville; Ralph Walker, St. Clair; R. W.

Baker, Marine City; Ralph Welser,St.

Clair; Gov. W. T. McCray, Indiana;

David Chaifee, Byron; E. V. Bailey,

Clarkston; Ralph Schriner, Marine

City; Mr. Spencer, of Lansing; Paul

Wayner, Harbor Beach; Elmer Paige,

Port Huron; W. H. Mccarty, of Bad

Axe; Jack Henry, Croswell.

Eleven breeders contributed animals

to the sale as follows: Robert W.

Baker, Marine City; David Chaffee, of





Solomon Knechtel, Elkton; Harry Lim-

berg, St. Clair; W. H. ‘McCarty, Bad

Axe; Earl C. McCarty, Bad Axe; Geo.

Peddie, Cass City; \Varner Ramsey,

Port Hope; August Rink, Port Hope,

and T. F. B. Sotham & Sons, St. Clair.

The sale was preceded by a Hero

ford hike in which a number of Michi-

gan breeders and interested live stock

man visited fifteen Hereford farms lo-

cated in the thumb of Michigan. "On

these farms over 500 head of well-bred

Hereford cattle are kept. Much was

observed by the tourists in the way of

economical methods of producing baby

beef. The tour and sale were consid-

ered a. very decided success by the

breeders‘interested.

Injured Back—Last winter our live-

year-01d cow injured her back; s1nce

then she walks in a humped-up man-

ner, turns with some difficulty and is

unable to swing head from side to

side. She is thin and has a spavin on

each hock. What shall I do for her?

E. L. 0., 01d Mission, Mich—Give her

sixty drops of fluid extract of nux

vomica in feed or water two or three

times a day. Rub back with camphor-

ated oil twice a day.





Thrush.—-Have a three-year-old colt

that has thrush in foot; can you give

me a remedy for same? R. V., Capac,

Mich—Keep foot dry and clean, apply

equal parts of calomel and iodot’orm

to diseased frog daily.





Poisoned with Coal Tan—I have a

three-year-old heifer in poor condition,

caused by applying coal-tar disinfect-

ant, full strength, on her to kill lice. I

applied this remedy fifteen months ago

and she has not been well since. She

is weak, easily affected by the heat,





be done former? F. C. A., Harrisvile,

Mich.——Recovery in such a case is very

doubtful. She has been ailing for the





the work, but it has failed to bring

about a recovery; therefore, her all-

ment is incurable. Fatten her for beef.

, .WOOL ,

Following a slowing down in foreign

.wool markets with declines of five to

ten per cent on coarse grades in Lon-

don and Australia, the domestic mar

ket has become less active. Prices at

a. sale in Texas were a shade lower.

although the Boston quotations came

higher. The American Woolen Com-

pany made the third successive ad-

vance in cloth prices during the week.





[Mills are resisting further upturns in





prices of raw material and are not

taking all the wool offered. The course

of the market will hinge upon the

trend of prices abroad, the progress of

tariff legislation and the tenacity of

owners of the remainder of the clip

mot yet in manufacturers’ hands.

Boston quotations were as follows:

Michigan and New York fleeces, de-

laine unwashed 52@54c: fine unwash-

ed 42@44c; half-blood unwashed 47@

48c; three-eighth blood unwashed 45@

47c; quarter-blood unwashed 43@44c.





 





FEEDER SHIPMENTS FALL OFF.





Total shipments of stockers and

feeders from the twelve leading mar-

kets have decreased fifty per cent in

the last few weeks, although the p0<

tential demalnd if prices were lower is

undoubtedly broad. Kansas City re-

ported a decline of fifty cents on some

grades. last week and further revisions

in-the price scale can be expected al-

though no bargain counter is prabable

at any time this year. On western

markets breeding cows and heifers are

said to be so scarce that quotations

are merely nominal.





A DAY WITH THE CHICKS AND

CHICKENS.





(Continued from page 727).



Here Mr. H. M. Elliott, of M. A. C.,

spoke on farm management on poultry

farms. He said for the general farm

flock of from 300 to 500 hens were the

most profitable. When they were larg-

er the overhead costs increased as

well as the cost of feeding.



At theHclland hatchery the profit-

ableness of the fruit and poultry com-

bination was evident. This farm raises

four popular breeds, has a 60,000 egg

hatchery and a fine apple and peach

orchard. Im the orchard, Mr. Foreman

spoke on the future of the poultry in-

dustry. He was very optimistic, even

in view of the fact that farm flocks

are rapidly increasing in size. He said

that efficient poultry raising was just

in its infancy. Prices for both eggs

alnd poultry have been good, and could

come down some and still leave agood

profit. ‘



The last stop was at Simon Hark-

ema’s farm near Macatawa Park. Mr.

Hark‘ema is working a combination of

greenhouses, truck farming and poul-

try. He has a 21,000 egg hatchery and

2,000 laying hens. He hatches none

but the eggs his hens produce.



At this place Professor Stai‘seth, of

M. A. C., gave an interesting talk on

poultry diseases. He told of chicken

pox and bacillary diarrhea, which were

still problems that can not be controll-

ed. The bacillary diarrhea is similar

to white diarrhea but it is transmitted

through the egg. When one is in doubt

as to this disease he should take a

blood sample which can be procured

from the vein on the under side of the

Wing and send it to the college for ex-

amination. '



Professor Stafseth said there was

great need for work along poultry dis-

ease lines alnd that the college was not

equipped to do it as it should be done.

He urged the poultrymen to use their

influence to get a department estab-

lished for that purpose.



A serving of coffee and doughnuts

by the Holland Poultry Association

ended a full day of poultry education





.and sight seeing. Apnoticeable thing





was that there was as much enthusi~

asm at this last, meeting as the first

one in the morning. This indicates
