CURRENT COMMENT





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

Yield not to too much temper.





A quart of berries well sold is better

than two on the bush.





An ounce of pretention is worse than

’ a pound of unassuming self-confidence.





The bigger a hog a hog can make of

himself the more profitable hog he is.





Common effort produces common re-

sults. A little extra effort produces

success.





Wool gathering is‘all right for sheep

but bad for men. Grow sheep. but

don’t let wool gather in your mind.





The man who raises the dust does

not accomplish as much as the man

who settles it.





HE multiplication



ofissues of tax-

free bonds during re-

cent years has come

to be regarded as an

evil which should be

corrected by many thinking people.

This is a matter for congratulation,

since it indicates a more thoughtful

attitude on the part of the public on

the important question ‘of taxation,

even though the reasons most general-

ly alvanced for the limitation of tax

'free securities are aimed at the result

rather than the cause of unprecedent-





Taxes and

Tax-Free

Bonds





ed spending fonpublic improvements





o





and purposes. ‘

The reason most generally advanced

for the curtailment of the issue of tax

free securities is the fact that wealthy

men are investing their capital in

these securities, thereby escaping tax-

ation which as a result falls more heav-

ily upon the farms and the homes of

the country. While this is a good rea-

son, it is not the best reason for such

curtailment, nor would the accomp-

lishment of this desirable purpose re-

sult in the relief of farm and home

owners from excessive taxation to the

extent which would at first appear.

Fully taxable bonds issued for the

making of public improvements would

inevitably mean higher interest rates

on such bonds, hence higher taxes to

meet the interest. Not all of this in-





crease would be borne by the bond-~





holders. But a portion of it would,

. and‘in the redistribution ofthe burden

farm and home owners would probably

be gainers to some extent.

But a greater gain would be likely

less ready market for their disposal ' -

.That- this would be a desirable result





no thoughtful person can well doubt.

1n- the twenty years from 1901 . to

1921 the total taxes levied for all put-.

pOses ‘on property in this state was

multiplied by seven. In other words,

this burden was seven times as great

in 1921 as it was in 1901. And the

increase was consistent all along the

line from the state down'to the school

districts.

riod there were millions‘ of- dollars in

bonds sold on which the interest must

be paid by taxation and the prinCipal

as well, if it is ever paid. This is Very

largely due to the fact that we, the

public, wanted the things for which the

money was expended and expressed

this desire by a majority of our votes.

In most instances, perhaps, the

things we got for the money were

worth it. In other cases this is doubt-

ful. The curtailment of tax free bonds

is a step in the right direction, but it

will not shift our responsibility as citi-

zens in the matter of holding down





public expenditures to a reasonable=





limit. And if we keep on dancing to

the same tune we will have to contin-

ue to pay the fiddler. We cannot shift

the burden by merely cutting out the

tax exemption feature of bonds issued

to secure the money for public im-

provements or expenditures.





T is told of a farm4

er and his son who,





The one winter’s evening,

Farm sat down with pencil

Plan and paper and came





to the surprising real-

ization that they were very much short

of feed for their stock. The conclusion

of that paper and pencil evening was

that father and son determined to

work out a farm plan which would

meet their requirements in home-raised

feeds for their farm animals.



Several other winter evenings were

spent in working out this plan, which

included a replanning of the fields,

changing the cropping system and de-

veloping a comprehensive live stock

plan.



While making out a farm plan can

not be as accurate as making a bill

for building materials, the several

years’ experience of the father and son

showed that it worked out beyond their

expectations.



It would undoubtedly benefit many

of us if we would change from the

“I don’t know where I am going but I

am on my way" method, to the one

which means, “I have my ticket and

time-table,.and I know where I am 80-

ing and when I’ll get there.”

It is perfectly natural that when

something serious of this sort happens

which threatens to spoil a good crop

and the financial returns thereof,

that people should get agitated about

it. And it is also perfectly natural that

they should blame everything but

themselves. ‘ ' ,1 -

'BALLOON is a

half cent’s worth





(2" of poor rubber which,

Buyfl‘g when inflated with

Ballons air, sometimes hot-air,



‘ becomes ten or fif-





teen cents worth, according ,to the

nerve of the seller. Balloons have their

attractions. The bright-colored, buoy-

ant rubber ball”is pleasing to a child-

ish fancy. This makes the balloon bus~

iness a good one—for the seller.—but

after a momentary pleasure the buyer

feels as if he were stung.



But; while children buy cheap rub-

ber balloons, grown folks buy more ex-

pensive ones. These are made of at-

tractively colored stock certificates

which are blown up totheir limit by

the hot air of the salesman. And like

the child’s purchase, there is a mo-

mentary feeling of pride in ownership

but also, like the balloon, only too

often it bursts and nothing is left but

the-paper certificate:





Balloon sellers ply (a. harmless trade

compared to some stock sellers. ,So

we suggest it as wise to investigate

before you invest, and take into your

counsel men who can better judge

whether the stock purchase is a bal-

loon or not.



Some stock are balloons, other are

investments. Perhaps your banker can

tell you which is which.

Living cleaner living. Even





- though bootleggers

abound, stills are busy and corks pop

out of home-brew bottles, one great

evil, drink, has been given a body

blow. No great evil dies completely

but drink will in due time become such

an invalid that it will do no harm,

even though this temporary spectacu-

lar liquor law-breaking may make it

seem otherwise.





And in the matter of morals, even

though women’s skirts are shorter and

the hair bobbed, we feel sure that the

nation is getting cleaner morally. Our

minds are more open than they used

to be, and we discuss many of the

things which were forbidden a genera-

tion ago. We have even discontinued

marking with a scarlet letter the er-

ring ones. This broader-mindedness

and better morals go hand in hand, for

vice thrives best in darkness and se—

crecy.



As the present outstanding evils are

brought into control, it may be that

other things which are not now consid-

ered evils, will be given attention. Per-

haps the next great thing to be given

consideration will be the cigarette with

its insidious sapping of the fiber of

manhood. - ,

D-PHIE.is tryin’ to learn me about



digkneetee, but it is takin’ me a

long time to find out if it is a foreign

langwich or a new way of curin’ sick-

ness.



Sophie says I need this learnin’

’cause I ain't got enough digkneetee

about me. I guess she is right, ’cause

I went through all my pockets and

can’t find none atall. -



When Sophiel started this educashun,

I tried a little of this digknee stuff to



I see how it’d work.

For inst., Ezra

Samson was sit«

ting next to me

and we was actin’

real sociable, then

I give him a nice

little slap on the

knee and dug in,

and he laffed and

haw-hawed fit to

beat the band. Well, that worked fine,

so when I was sittin’ by Lizzie Robin-

son, listenin’ to what she had to say

about Widow Morrison and Jasper

Johnson, I thought I’d try this digknee

stuff, so I pat her on the knee. I guess

I musta done it wrong or somethin’.

Anyhow, what she said and did ain’t

in my recollecshun, ’ca-use it come too

fast for my absorbshun. Anyhow, I

was what you call considerably cov-

ered with embarrassmunt and my

name he1 eabouts is Mud now.



And what Sophie said when we got

home was somethin’ I kin say but

don’t know how to spell. But when

she come to the part I kin spell she

said this digknee stuff wasn’t digknee

tee atall, and it just showed I didn’t

have none.



Well, since then I kinda found dig-

kneetee is being like you don’t want

to be, but like other folks want you

to be, like a boy on the last day of

school what knows his Ma is lookin’.



Now, Sophie says William Hoskins,

who nobody calls Bill, . is digkneefied,

but-I don’t want to be like him, ’cause





 





.he don’t enjoy hisself, and he smiles





and says nothin’ when he’d like to say





~somethin' else.





Sophie says I kin still have. digknee-

tee and not be like Mr. Hoskins, so I

guess I gotta try and get some of that

stuif to satisfy Sophie. I kin try for

some more of this digkneetee stuff,





but I’m goin’ to be awful Careful about ‘





this dig knee stuff, ’cause I find it 18‘

dangerous with some folks. . ‘

Summer Ventilation.

The condition of the poultry house





' in summer should be given every at-





tention. A hot, stuffy house is not con—

ducive to health and high production.





‘ Make some arrangement for summer





ventilation. This can easily be done

by putting ventilators at the top of

house to carry the hot air off. Bring





' fresh air in from opened windows,

' thus creating a constant circulation of





air. In houses having shed roofs, fresh

air inlets can be placed along the back.

This can be done by hinging the cor-





‘ nice board so that it can be dropped,





allowing air to enter between the raft-

ers. This draft is prevented from strik-





’ ing the, birdsby lining up inside the

' house for a short distance over the





roosts and down to the dropping board.

This allows air circulation over the

birds and keeps the house fresh and

sweet.



Houses which have high roofs can

use straw lofts to good advantage.

These can be made by placing some

loose boards over the joists and cover—

ing with a foot or fifteen inches of

straw. This acts as an insulator, pre-

vents the suns rays beating down on

the roof, heating up the house.





ing the moisture from the house.

If windows are used under the drop-





. ping boards‘ these should be opened





up, giving the house every chance to

stay cool, particularly at night.



Shade should be applied for the lay-

ing stock during the day. If trees are

scarce, a patch of sunflowers can be

sown and fenced off until they get up

to good size. Corn sown in rows makes

excellent shade.



While it is true that the birds do

not use the house a great deal during

the summer it should never be "neglect-

ed. Keep the dropping boards cleaned

and watch for mites and lice. The

nests and roost should be frequently

treated. Crude oil applied frequently

to the perches and nests will eradicate

mer months to reduce the grain and

make the birds eat more mash. They

do not require a feed rich in carbohy-

drates to keep up body heat at this

time, but do need the stimulating

constituents of mash. Sour milk or

buttermilk, if available, should be giv-

en at all times and the meat scrap kept

up to ten or twelve per cent. If no

milk is available keep the scrap up to

twenty per cent. A good mash can be

mixed of equal parts of ground oats,





from the laying flock at this season. If

(they are required for breeding another

a pen away from the hens. If you do

not need them, put them on the mar-

ket just as soon as the breeding sea-

son is over. By keeping the males out

Green feed is often neglected. Dur-

ing the hot weather the birds do not

range far and the runs are very much

devoid of green feed. Sow some rape,

With‘the Young Stock.



Have you cleaned and put away all

the brooding equipment ready for next

spring? Stoves and metalware will

last years longer if carefully cleaned

up, oiled and put away in a dry place

when the brooding season is over.



The main object with the young

stock should be to bring them along

with no setbacks and have them in the ”

pink of condition when fall comes. The

early hatched cockerels should be

ready for the market before now. Seg-

regate the best as soon as the sex can

be detected, put them on a separate

range away from the pullets. They will

do better and the pullets are much bet-

ter alone, particularly in the lighter

breeds. ~ ~



The cockerels will make better gains

when fed alone and supplied with a

moist mash in addition to the dry

mash in hoppers. A good mash for the

cockerels can be made up of ground

corn, thirty pounds; ground oats, twen-

ty pounds; bran, twenty pounds; mid-

dlings, tWenty pounds.



This can be fed dry, and also two

feeds a day moistened with milk, pref-

erably sour or buttermilk. Keep milk

before them at all times. If' milk is

not available, ten per cent meat scrap

can be added to give the necessary

protein.



Every care should be given to put-

lets from now until fall. See that the

roosting quarters are well ventilated,

kept clean and free from mites. Sup-

ply shade. An ideal place to raise pul-

lets is in the orchard. The corn field,

if not too far away, is an excellent

spot. It supplies shade and abundance

of insect life. Corn or sunflowers can

be sown for shade if it is not conven-

ient to move the colony houses to the

corn field.



Hoppe1-feeding both the mash and'

grain feed is a great labor-saver, and

gives excellent results. Outdoor hop-

pers can be constructed which will

shed the rain and hold enough to last

for several days.



If milk is available keep it before

the birds all the time, if not, be sure

they always have a supply of fresh,

clean water, and ten per cent scrap

can be added to the mash. A very

good developing mash can be made

from bran, twenty—five parts; mid-

dlings, twenty parts; ground oats,

twenty, parts. Corn, fifty parts; wheat,

fifty parts, makes an excellent scratch

feed which also can be fed in hopper.



As the pullets begin to develop,

twenty per cent co1n can be added to

the mash to insure good fleshing be-





fore they commence laying. This will

aid in preventing a fall moult in early

pullets.





Special attention must be paid to the

A BIG DAY AT COLDWATER.





 





RESIDENT HOWARD; of the



American Farm 'Bureau Federation

has been secured to address a big

Southern Michigan picnic at Goldwater

on August 17. This is the only occur:

rence of President Howard in Michi-

gan this summer. His services were

secured for the Branch County Farm

Bureau by Milo D. Campbell, president

of the National Milk Producers’ Organ-

ization and a personal friend of Mr.

Howard.



Goldwater business men have offered

to turn the town over to the farmers

for the day. No “Keep Off the Grass”

signs will be up; iii fact, this will be

the one big day of the year in the

southern Michigan city, when they

plan to entertain the Farm Bureau,

Grange and Gleaner members from all

Southern Michigan counties and' from

Northern Ohio and Indiana. Several

County Farm Bureaus are planning au-

to tours to Goldwater to welcome

President Howard.



The Grange is cooperating in con-

ducting the picnic. Charles M. Gard-

ner, High Priest of Demeter of the

National Grange, will speak for the

Grange. The local Gleaners will also

join in the big picnic and have a prom-

inent speaker. A big parade is being

planned, a ball game, and other sports

will make things lively.



All farm organization members

should show their colors on August 17

and help to prove to the world that

the farm organizations of Southern

Michigan are alive and active.





“GRATUITIES” TO BE DISCON-

TINUED.





 





 





HE Federal Trade Commission has



issued orders requesting several

manufacturers of

machinery to discontinue the practice

of giving 01' offering to give to officers

or employes of any town, county or

municipality, money or other gratui-

ties for .the purpose of inducing them

to purchase the company’s products.

It is alleged that this bribery or “tip”

practice is being overworked in some

sections by agents of the road machin-

ei'y companies.





RAILROAD STRIKE WILL NOT AF-

FECT P. O. SERVICE.





 





HE United States Post Office De-



partment announces that if every

mail train Should cease to run be-

cause of the strike, it would continue

to transport the mails by motor truck

and aeroplane. The department has

6,300 motor trucks and the war de-

partment has thousands of trucks stor-

ed in every section of the country.

The department has in use fifty-six air-

worthy aii'plaines with forty pilots in

the service, and twenty-one in the air

each day. It is estimated that two

planes could carry all the first-class

mail between Washington and New

York City. As now equipped the post

office planes can carry 30,000 pounds

of mail at one flight.





A POTATO TOU R.

tion of the northwestern part of

the state will take place August 17-24,

under the management of J. W. Wes-

ton, potato specialist of the agricul-

tural college.



The. potato men will congregate at

Lake City, August 17, immediately fol-

lowing the annual meeting of .the Po-

made at Indian Trail Camp, Traverse

City, at which Dr.‘ Houston; of the

Grand Traverse County Farm. Bureau

will provide entertainment.



Monday will be spent in Antrim

county, Tuesday in Charlevoix, Wed-

FOR BETTER STATISTIICS.





 





AGRICULTURAL statisticians V. H.

Church, of Lansing, Mich. and J.

B. Shepard, of Albany, New York, have

been in consultation with Nat C. Mur-

ray, of.the Crop Estimates Division of

the Bureau of Agricultural Economics

for the purpose of develOping a more

efficient system of securing compara-

tive statistics on farm production.

The state of Michigan has made pro-

vision for a, state agricultural census

for, which fifty per cent of the farms

have been tabulated and the work is

progressing very satisfactorily. Mr.

Shepard proposes to select the farms

along a ten-mile strip of roadway in

each county in New York and with the

cooperation of trained men from the

statistical department with the farm-

ers on the key farms, secure from time

to time accurate data on the acreage

of the various crops on each farm, and

the yields. It is believed that Within

a few years much useful information

could be collected in this way, and

more reliable . agricultural ‘ statistics

obtained than by the ordinary state or

federal census.





 





CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIA-

TIONS REDUCED.





 





HE total appropriations made by



congress for the fiscal year of 1923

were $3,747,035,382, a. reduction of

ANNUAL MEETING OF. ELEVATOR

EXCHANGE.





 





R. W- E. PHILLIPS, of Decatur,



is the second president of the

Michigan Elevator Exchange. He was

elected July 19 at the Michigan Agri-

cultural College at the second annual

meeting of the Board of Delegates of

the Exchange. The delegates repre-

sented one hundred cooperative elevat-

or associations now afliliated with the

Michigan Elevator Exchange. Mr.

Phillips succeeded James Nicol, of

South Haven, president of the State

Farm Bureau, who was first president





cf the EXchange and served two years.





L. C. KamlowSke, of Washington

Farm Bureau local, was elected vice-.

president: and Girl Martin. manager





of the Goldwater Coopers ive Coin- J *V





Phillips islmanager of the Decatur Co»





operative Association.



The delegates rel-elected four mem-

bers of the board of directors to serve

for five more. years. They were H. D.

Horton, manager of the Farmers’ Ele-

vator & Grain Co., at Kinde; John

Nicolson, farmer, of Marlette; L. C.

Kamlowske, of Washington, and Carl

Martin, of Goldwater. Directors with

one year to 'serve of their two-year

terms are James Nicol, of South Hav-

en; M. R. Shisler, farmer, of Caledon~

13.; George McCalla, president of the

Ypsilanti Farm Bureau, and B. H. Ellis,

of Albion.





The annual report of the Exchange "





showed an increase in eleVator mem-

bership from twenty—five organizations

in October, 1920, to one hundred today.

The report showed a comfortable

working capital, a surplus of $7,100,:

no debts and an increase in average

monthly, business from $89,000 for Oc-

tober, 1920, to $324,000 for the month

ending July 19, 1922. During the past





. year the Exchange has marketed for





elevator members representing more

than 10, 000 farmers, a little better than

four and a half million dollars’ worth

of grain, hay and beans.





The board of delegates adopted a

strong resolution endorsing the State

Farm Bmeau’s second membership

campaign which opens August 7 in

Allegan county. They pledged com-

plete suppmt from the Elevator Ex-

change to the: farm bureau in its mem-

bership diive and called upon every

farmer member of elevator exchange

00- ops to renew his State Farm Bu-

reau membership. The delegates de~

clared that a strong State Farm Bu‘

man and strong County Farm Bureaus

were fundamental to the future suc-





cess of farmers" cooperative market- .





ing programs in Michigan.

that they should be used to a greater





" ’ extent in order to increase returns





from grains grown on the average



.. Michigan farm, is shown by the results



"of eipériniental feeding tests conduct-

ed recently at the Michigan Agricul-

tural College.’



The paramount question in the

minds of most farmers is the ultimate

price they will receive for their crops,

and from this standpoint the hog; as

avmarket medium, is placed in a very,

favorable position by the college ex—

periments.



The test work was conducted- to de-



’ termine the comparative feeding value

of the common 'home- g-rown grains——





corn, barley and rye, which are the ,





principal feeds used by Michigan hog

growers for the production of pork.

Five trials with various combinations

of these grains, supplemented with

middlings and sixty per cent ,digester

tankage, were conducted. Skim-milk

would'have served the same purpose

as middlings or tankage, but as the

former is not available on such a large

number of farms, the latter supple-

ments were used.





Seven lots of six pigs each were used

in each trial. Lot 1 was fed shelled

corn, ground rye, ground barley and

tankage; Lot 2,‘ground rye and tank-

age; Lot 3, ground barley and tank-

age; Lot 4, shelled corn and tankage;



‘Lot 5, ground barley, ground. rye, and

tankage; Lot 6, ground barley, mid~

dlings and tankage, and Lot 7, ground

rye, middlings and tankage.



Corn Makes Best Showing.



0f the grains used in'the various ra-

tions, corn made the best all-round re-





HAT- h0g3 ordinarily pay consed- ~

erably above the market price

for the feed they consume, and '





turns, proving to be still “the king of

hog feeds." 1



Each lot of hogs was fed through a

self-feeder—a separate compartment

being provided for each feed. In this

way the hogs had free choice of the

different feeds offered and consumed

these as their requirements and appe-

tite prompted them.



The- average initial weight of the

pigs in the different trials varied from

fifty-nine to 146 pounds, but in each

trial the inital weight of the pigs in

the different lots was approximately

the same. The final weights of the

hogs in the different trials varied from

an average of 155 pounds to 261

pounds.



These trials were repeated five times

and the results of the different tests

were very consistent. The data given

are the average of the five trials.



The average daily gains and the

feeds consumed per 100 pounds of gain

follow:





gains and the amount of feed consum-

ed in producing 100 pounds of gain.

Rapidity of gains is desirable'so that

the hogs may be marketed early in

the season before the big run starts,

depressing the market and causing a





serious d op in prices. This point

should b given particular attention in

feeding he present crop of pigs, as





with a considerable increase in the

number of sows farrowing we may ex-

pect to find a greater spread between

early and late fall prices than prevails

in normal years. The difference be-

tween these prices may determine

whether a profit or loss is to be taken

and where sufficient feed is available

it is advisable to finish for the early

market.



Considering either daily gains or the

feed consumed it will be noted that

Lot 4, fed corn and tankage, made con-

siderably the best showing, making an

average daily gain of 1.47 pounds per





day and requiring but 435 pounds of

age, made the next largest daily gain-—

1.39’ pounds, but considerable more





feed was necessary. Lot 8, given bar- .





ley and tankage, followed with a daily

gain of 1. 3 pounds, but the amount of

feed required was the highest of all.

The gains made by the other four lots

were fairly unifo1m and considerably

lower with medium amounts of feed

being required, except Lot 5, which con-

sumed the second largest amount.





Nutritive Ratio Important.

It is interesting to note the propor-





tions, or. nutritive ratios, of the differ- '





ent feeds consumed by the hogs in the

seven lots. That the proportion of

crude protein (growing feed)-to carbo-

hydrates and fats (the fattening feeds)

in any feeding ration is important

would seem to be indicated'by the re-

sults of the college tests. This whole

question of the “nutritive ratio” is an

interesting one.





According to approved feeding stand-

ars, hogs of the weights use should

have received an average nutritive ra-





tio of 126.16.

following that all but one ration—that

of corn and tankage—was narrower

than this. While the corn and tank-

age ratio was somewhat above 'the

standard it came nearer to it than did

any of the others. Several of the ra-

tions, especially Lots 2, 6 and 7, were

much narrower than is recommended.

Silage a Good Milk CoSt Reducer





UILDING a silo must not be reck-

oned as an expense, but as a de-

sirable investment. It is an im-

portant step toward a better and more

permanent agriculture, and one of the





"bestiinvestments that can be made on





the farm.

The reasons for the need of the silo





_on the farm are numerous, the most





important of which are: Insurance

against drouth; saving of a portion of

the injured crops; saving of. a large

part of the corn crop that would other-

wise be wasted, more and cheaper

food production.



— In seasons of drouth when the pas-

tures are “burnt up” and the crops .

partially or totally ruined, the farmer

having live stock must dispose of a

large part of his herd—usually at a

sacrifice, or buy high-priced feed. Here

the farmer With the silo is ahead of

the man who has none. He can keep

his stock in good shape by giving them

the silage he has~ stored from years

of plenty. Corn properly ensiloed will

loeep for many years.



He can save portions of the crops

damaged by hail, frost, drouth or other

causes, that would otherwise be a to-

Many crops can be success-

fully ensiloed. A silo will also save

most, of the feeding value. of the corn

(stalks, much of which





is generally

wasted. .

In cattle feeding. silage takes the

smooth inside; durability, wind resist-

ance, and good appearance.

Building the Silo.



Do not build a silo too large in diam~

eter. The diameter should be such as

to make possible the feeding of about

two inches a day; certainly not less

than one inch a day. A one-hundred-

ton silo will hold enough to feed forty

pounds of silage a. day to twenty—five

cows for two hundred days. Build the

silo to keep as much silage as you will

use.



Do not wait until the last minute and

then order your material, but get the

material ahead of time and then put





Frana’sm





up the 8110 when work is not rushed.

Do not wait until fall and then put it





’ up, when you should be filling. Do it





now.



Build the silo close to the barn. A

silo located close to the feed manger

insures a large amount of handy feed-

in bad weather and it also saves labor.



Crops for Silos.



Almost any green forage crop may

be ensiloed, but the best crops for

Michigan farmers are com and sun-

flowers. There are several ways of

planting corn for silage. It may be

planted in the ordinary way or planted

thicker than when the crop is used for





 





 

 





 





e





 

 





 

 





 





grain, and cut when the corn is well

dented, the lower leaves dry and the

stalk full of sap. Corn is sometimes

ensiloed with cowpeas or soy-beans

mixed, which is a good practice for

enriching the silage.



Silage is valuable as feed for dairy

cattle because of its succulence, pala~

tability, feeding Value and production

of milk. The succulence of the feed

keeps the cow in good health, her sys-

tem in good physical condition, and

this makes it possible to digest her

feed most economically. The palata-

bility of silage induces the consump-

tion of large quantities of other feed.

This increase in feed consumed, to-

gether with the way it is relished, nat-

urally results in a large milk flow.



Most generally silage is fed in win-

ter when it gives the effect of summer

pasturage. The reason that cows in-

crease the flow of milk when put on

pasture in the spxing, is that they are

getting a succulent feed. The succu-

lence of silage affects the flow of milk

in a similar manner. A very good ra-

tion for winter feeding is thirty pounds

of corn silage, all the alfalfa or clover

hay they will eat up clean and a pound

of grain for each three pounds of milk

produced daily.



While most commonly used for win-

ter feeding it is by no means less im~

portant for use in summer Nearly

every summer the pastures dry up in

the latter part of July or August and

during this time the cows invariably

drop off in milk flow, sometimes fifty

per cent. This may be partially over-

come by feeding succulent feed in the





form of silage. Some of the more ent-

A great increase in Earl sales in the smaller cities is the



most striking fact in recent Earl history. Earl dealers in



these cities report that a large number of the cars already



delivered or now on order have been sold to discriminat-

To the makers of Earl cars this, is great and significant

news. Any goo car can meet the requirements of the

average city dweller, with brick and asphalt under his tires

and only occasional runs into the country to tax his machine.





To satisfy the men who live and produce in the

country, however, a motor car must be able _td stand up

under all kinds of weather and road conditions. It must

be comfortable and safe and easy on the roughest highways.

It must have power to spare in the deepest mud and on'the

longest hills. And to earn its keep, it must be economical.





, The Earl is built to meet just these requirements. Its

powerful, long-stroke motor and balanced chassis deliver

greater mileage per gallon of gasoline than any other car of

its size or price. It is easy to drive, easy to keep in order,

easy on your pocketbook at all times.

SWEET CLOVER AND ORCHARD

[GRASS FOR PASTURE.





I am wondering it sweet clover and

orchard grass could be sown on red-top

sod for permanent pasture. Soil is

rather light sand. If so, how much per

acre and what time should they be

sown? Which would be the best, an~

nual or biennial sweet clover? Would

it be best to run over the field with a.

spike-tooth drag or not? If those grass-

es would not do on the sod, what would

you suggest?—A. J. W.



Much depends on the condition of

your red—top sod. If the red-top is

quite thick, forming a good heavy sod,

there is little chance of other grasses

getting established 'by sowing the

seed on this sod. But if the stand of

red-top is open the other plants might

get established. This would be espe-

cially true of biennial sweet clover.

This plant frequently establishes itself

along the roadside and in some in-

stances lhe adjacent fields, even in a

fairly well established sod of June

grass or timothy. If there is any op-

ening between the plants so the seed

can get a soil cover it will germinate

and grow. When once started it has

vigor enough to more than hold its

own. However, I would not expect to

have equal success with orchard grass.

RIGHTS OF LAND CONTRACT PUR-

CHASER.





A signed a contract to B on a twen-

ty-acre farm. A has to pay $100 a

year. »A paid taxes and interest, but

was unable to pay the $100 each year.

B now asks for $500 for payments

which are due. A seeds winter rye for

the coming year, then A goes to get

the money promised and the promise

was forgotten. In December B tells

A he has nothing to do with the farm.

A moves out and D buys the farm. D

says rye belongs tohim, because the

farm is his. A’s contract expired the

same month D bought the farm. Would

like, to know if the rye belongs to A

or D.—A. H. "





If not estopped by abandonment, A

is entitled to the rye on making upall

back payments; otherwise not. If he

has by word or act induced D to think





he is getting title, A is estopped.—

PEACHES FOR CENTRAL MlCHl-E

GAN.





Kindly inform me as to the hardiest

and most productive varieties of peach-

es adapted to growing in Eaton county.

What is the best fertilizer for them,

and how closely should they be set?

Is the Hale peach a good variety for. .

this locality, on clay soil?—Mrs. M. M.





Hill’s Chili, Gold'D‘rop and Lemon

Free are very hardy varieties for the

central part of the state, and all are

splendid canning varieties. When they

set crops of fruit, require rather heavy

pruning of the trees and thinning of

the fruit along with good cultural prac-





. tices, cultivation, etc., to produce good





grades of fruitx





The distanceof planting is usually

twenty feet apart each way, and during

the first two years any inter-crop

Which is used should be one that rips

ens early so that cultivation can be

stopped by the first of. AuguSt and a

cover crop planted to help ripen the

woOd. No peaches should be planted

in central Michigan except upon high

elevations with good air drainage.



A variety known as Judd, with

which I am not familiar, has given

splendid satisfaction to Farley Broth-

ers, at Albion, but I do not know-where

the trees can be gotten. Would hesi-

tate without more knowledge to rec-

ommend the Hale peach for central,

Michigan. ,



In relation to fertilizer while the

trees are young would suggest that‘

during the first two years that two

ounces of either sulphate of ammonia

or nitrate of soda per tree, and half

a pound of acid phosphate per-tree be

used, applying same the middle of Ap-

confined to _ trees in unsprayed o-r-

chards, although, of course, it is worst

where no spray has beenapplied. The

disease appeared very suddenly about

June 22 and, spread with great rapid-

ity. ‘This was about ten days [after the

third spray had been applied and those

orchardists who were spraying prop-

erly were not badly afflicted. But

where the growers were not awake to

the. situation, the yellow leaves ap-

peared almost before spray rigs could

A very important factor has again

been-proven by this outbreak. Clean

orchard is free from weeds, the aflect-

ed leaves from the previous year are

disposed of. Cultivation buries them

and destroys the fungous, by exposing

it to the elements. Where the leaves

are allowed to remain on the ground,

they carry the infection frOm year to

year and when the conditions are right

shoot the spores into the air, which

germinate and produce ieaf Spot.

Hence a very important factor of cher-

‘ry growing is to dispose of the affect-

ed leaves, and keep the orchard clean.





Where the infection is bad this year,

it will probably pay to plow the infect-

ed leaves under at once, and sow to a

cover crop, and then disc the cover

crop under early next spring and

keep your cherry orchard free from

weeds next year. Another very import?

ant factor in the control of the cherry

leaf spot is to spray immediately after





deaux mixture 4-4-50 with one pound

of arsenate of lead to every fifty gal-

lons of mixture. . The lead with the

fungicide will control the slugs which

work on the cherries.



.To sum up, clean cultivation with

proper spraying is essential for the

control of leaf spot on cherries—J. L.

WHAT ABOUT THE VITAMINES?





to know about“ the vitamlnes is



the fact that ,they are nothing

new and that anyone‘who is reason-

ably careful to eat a mixed diet of

good natural food needs to give them

little thought. The chief value of the

new theory to the average man has

been to, explain why certain foods

which contain /no great amount of

nourishment are so indispensable to

health. Take the leafy vegetables, for

example: we knew that they were good

in promoting -regular. habits of the

bowels because they contained the

“roughness” in their cellulose content





- ONE of the most comforting "things





necessary to stimulate-the bowels to _





action. But we did not appreciate/the

fact that they were also amongst the

very best foods for “pep” and energy

and good digestion because of being

unusually rich in vitamines. Now that

we know this fact it gives us a good

deal more interest in seeing that our

gardens are. encouraged to_ produce

such vegetables as lettuce, spinach,

chard and cauliflower, as well as the

more utilitarian cabbage.



It is undoubtedly true that the proc—

ess of cooking destroys the vitamines

to a certain extent, but the average





diet is so rich in the elements needed





that plenty remains for our needs in

spite of this impairment. I '



The most important consideration is

in reference to milk given to infants

as the sole article of diet. Warming

fresh milk to a temperature suitable

for feeding makes so little difference

as to need no attention. But it may

be necessary to boil, or at least pas-

teurize the milk for some good and

sufficient reason. In such cases it is

important to provide ' vitamines in

some other way or the child will be-

come ill with scurvy. Orange juice,

given in small quantities, from a few

drops to a teaspoonful daily, will fully

make up the vitamine deficiency. If

orange juice is not readily obtainable

the juice -of fresh or canned tomatoes

is an efficient substitute. It should be

given guardodly, however, as it does

not always agree with the infant di-

gestion as readily as the orange juice

seems to do.



So long as our food contains a rea.

sonable amount of whole milk, fresh

fruit and vegetables, such as apples

and cabbages, and cereals, such as

bread and oatmeal, we need have no

fear of not getting enough vitamines.





HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.





I am a lady, forty~eight years old,

and am bothered with high blood pres-

sure. It is 140 all the time. Is that

dangerous or not? I am so very ner-

vous and dizzy all the time—R. T.



One hundred and forty is not unus-

ually high blood pressure for a woman

of forty-eight. It is only a few points

above normal for that age, and blood

pressure varies a few points for very

small matters.





REST NEEDED.





I am almost forty-one years old and

the mother of four young boys and

two little girls. We are farmers with

a big garden, and fruit for the mother

to care for, in addition to the family.

There is a grandmother also, who

thinks I should still take in extra work

to keep up household xpenses. Can

you send me some kin of a drug to

keep me up until the children get old-

er? I could pay you as. soon as I

EROPTHALMIC AGOITER.





Is an exopthalmic goiter different

Which is the





from the other kind?

most dangerous? Is there any cure

for the exopthalmic' kind?——~M. R.





An exopthalmic goiter differs widely

from the simple variety and is more

serious. It causes degeneration of the

thyroid gland and a general poisoning

of the system. Quite usually the heart

suffers seriously, the eyes may pro~

trade, the whole body is weakened and

usually becomes emaciated. In the

early stages of the disease a building-

up treatment, similar to that given to

patients with tuberculosis, is very

helpful and may check the progress of

the disease so that a good recovery is

made. In cm 0' es nothing seems

to do any goo short of i'the complete

removal of the gland. _ This often pro-

duces Cures that seem almost miracu-

lous.





SLEEPLESSNESS.





I am thirty-nine years old, in good

health in most ways, but a very poor

sleeper. Is there any harmless sleep

ing powder that you can prescribe to

make me sleep?——G. D F. .





, There is no such thing as a harmless

sleeping powder or drug. Any medi-

cine given expressly for the purpose

of producing sleep will eventually, re-

act disastrously. A thorough physical,

examination, including blood pressure,

heart action and kidney condition may

disclose something that can be cured

by medicine and thus give better sleep.

I recommend such action, .But take

no drug that will “make you sleep.”





USING OPENED CANS.





Please tell me if it is very danger.

ous to allow canned foods to stand in

an open can. Would the use of such

foods cause death from ptomaine poi-

soning?——F. D. R. .





The practice of allowing foods to

stand in open cans is a very poor one.





After a can is opened the. contents.





should always be stored in a clean

vessel, preferably of earthenware or

porcelain. ‘However, 'it is fair to say

that the danger of a tin can is usually

exaggerated. The inner surface of

cans used in packing food is treated

with a shellac which is insoluble in

ordinary food juices. It is only when

a flaw is present that acid foods may

attack the container. .





Betsy:——I cannot make a complete

diagnosis of your case. The under-

weight and lassit-ude might indicate tu-





inent if you were‘absorbiug pus from

some purulent focus in the body. A

blood test would show the difference.‘

The only “home treatment" that I can





suggest is a lot of rest and extra





nourishment. Sometimes when a pa—

tient objects to milk I find that they

take'malted milk very well and get

much good from it. but fresh milk is

better. ' ._

sand dollars ain’t enough.”





“But we’ll have to get that water out

of there before we can do anything.”

Fairchild interposed. “If we can’t get

at the vein up here, we’ll have to get

at it from below. And how’re we going

to do that without unwatering that

shaft?”



Again Harry pulled his mustache.



“That’s just what ’Arry’s thinking

about,” came his answer finally. “Le’s

go back to town. I don’t like to stand

around this place and just look at

water in a ’ole.”



They turned for the mouth of the

tunnel, sliding along in the greasy



muck, the torch extinguished now. A

L moment of watchfulness from the cov-

er of the darkness, then Harry point-

ed. On the opposite hill, the figure of

a man had been outlined for just a

second. Then he had faded. And with

the disappearance of the watcher, Har-

ry nudged his partner in the ribs and

went forth into the brighter light. An

hour more and they were back in

town. Harry reached for his mustache

again.



“Go on down to Mother ’Oward’s,”

he commanded. “I’ve got to wander

around and say ’owdy to what’s left of

the fellows that was ’ere when I was.

It’s been twenty years since I’ve been

away, you know,” he added, “and the

shaft can wait.”



Fairchild ~obeyed the instructions,

looking back over his shoulder as he

walked along toward the boarding

house, to see the big figure of his

companion loitering up the street, on

the beginning of his home-coming tour.





It was evident that Harry was popular.

Forms rose from the loitering places

on the curbings in front of the stares,

voices called to him; even as the dis-

tance grew greater, Fairchild could

hear the shouts of greetings which

were sounding to Harry as he an-

nounced his'return.



The blocks passed. Fairchild turned

through the gate of Mother Howard’s

boarding house and went to his room

to await the call for dinner. The world

did not look exceptionally good to him;

his brilliant dreams had not counted

upon the decay of more than a quarter

of a century, the slow, but sure drip-

ping of water which had seeped

through the hills and made the mine

one vast well, instead of the, free open

gateway to riches which he had plan-

ned upon. True, there had been be-

fore him the certainty of a cave-in, but

Fairchild was not a miner, and the

word to him had been a vague affair.

Now, however, it was taking on a new

aspect; he was beginning to realize

the full extent of the fight which was

before him if the Blue Poppy mine

ever were to turn forth the silver ore

he hoped to gain from it, if the letter

of his father, full of threats though it





might be, were to be realized in that





part of it which contained the promise

of riches in abundance.



Pitifully small his capital looked to

Fairchild now. Inadequate—that Was

certain—for the needs which now

stood before it. And there was no per-

son, to whom he could turn, no one to

whom he could go, for more. To bor-

row, one m’ust have security; and with

the exception of the faith of the red-

faced Harry, and the promise of a

silent man, now dead, there was noth-

ing. It was useless; an hour'of thought

and Fairchild ceased trying to look in-

to the future, obeying, instead,_ the in-

sistent clanging of the dinner bell from

downstairs. Slowly he opened the

door of his room, trudged down the

staircase—then stopped in bewilder-

ment. Harry stood before him, in all

the splendor that a miner can know.



He had bought a new suit, brilliant

blue, almost electric in its flashiness,





 





   

 





 





throwing off a dull radiance like the

glow of,a burnt—out arclight; ‘full of

flaws, it is true, off-color to a great

degree, but a diamond nevertheless.

And Harry evidently realized it.



“Ain’t I the cuckoo?” he boomed, as

Fairchild stared at him “Ain’t I? I

’ad to ’ave a outfit, and—”



“It might as well be now!’ 'he~ para-

phrased, to the tune of the age—whiten-

ed sextette from “Floradora.” “Ahd

look'a‘t the sparkler! Look at 1;!”



Fairchild could do very little else

but look. 'He knew the value, even in

spite of flaws and bad color. And he

knew something else, that Harry had

confessed to having little more than

five hundred dollars.



“But—but how did you do it?” came

gaspingly. “I thought—”



“Installments!” the Cornishman

burst out. “Ten per cent down and the

rest when they catch me. Install-





ments!” He jabbed forth a heavy fin-.





ger and punched Fairchild in the ribs.

“Where’s Mother ’Oward?. Won’t I

knock ’er eyes out?”



Fairchild laughed—he couldn’t help

it—in spite of the fact that five hun-

dred dollars might have gone a long

way toward unwatering that shaft.

Harry was Harry—he had done

enough in crossing the seas to help

him. And already, in the eyes of Fair-

hhild, Harry was swiftly approaching

that place where he could do no

wrong.



“You’re wonderful, Harry,” came at

pride. - g / '



“I’m a cuckoo!” ‘he‘ admitted.

“Where’s Mother . ’Oward? Where’s

Mother ’Oward? 'Won’t 1 knock her

And he boomed forward toward the

'dining‘room, to find there men he had

knewn in otherdays. to shake hands

with them and to bang them on the

back. to sight-"Blindeye Bozeman and

Taylor Bill sitting hunched over their

meal'in the corner and to go eflusively

favorites in his “ ’ome-coming." “ 'Ar-

ry” was “ ’appy," and a little.thing like

the fact that friends of his enemies

were present seemed to make little

difference. '

» Jovially he leaned over the table of

Bozeman "and Bill, after he had dis-

played himself before Mother Howard

and received her sanction of his selec-

tions in dress. Happily he boomed

forth the information that Fairchild

and he were batik to‘work the Blue

Poppy mine and that they already had

made a trip of inspection.



“I’m going back this afternoon,” he

told them. “There’s water in the shaft.

I’ve got to figure a wye to get it on .” .



Then he returned to his table and

Fairchild leaned close to him.



“Isn’t that dangerous ?”



“What?” Harry allowed his eyes to

become bulbous as he whispered the

question. "Telling them two about

what we’re going to do? Won’t they

find it 'out anyway?” '



“I guess that’s true. What time are

you going to the mine ‘3”



“I don’t know that I’m going. And

then I may. I’ve got to kind of eye

’ello around town first.”



“Then I’m not to go with you?”



Harry beamed at him.



“It’s your day off, Robert,” he an-

nounced, and they went on with their

meal. » ‘



That is, Fairchild proceeded. Harry

did little eating. Harry was too busy.

Around him were men he had known

in other days, men who had stayed on

at the little silver camp, fighting

against the inevitable downward course

of the price of the white metal, hoping

for the time when resustication would

come, and now realizing that a feeling

of joy for which they had waited a

quarter of a century. There were a

thousand questions to beyanswered, all

asked by Harry. There was gossip to

relate and the lives of various men

who had come and gone to be dilated

upon. Fairchild finished his meal and

waited. But Harry talked on. Boze.

head. He evidently had just rounded

the _corner in time to hear the conver-

and hard.



“I was merely asking about my part-

“The Blue Poppy?” the squid? eyes

narrowed _ more than ever. “You’re

Fairchild, ain’t you? Well, I guess

“Get along without—?”

“That is, unless you want to work

“Drowned? Where’s his body?”



“How do I know ?” Squint Rodaine

turned upon his questioner. “Guess

it’s at the foot of the shaft. All I saw

was his hat. What’re you so-inter-

as it was, I kind of stopped to look,





and seen it was _Harry Harkins, who ‘





used to work the mine with this-”~he

pointed to Fairchild‘—“this fellow’s

father. About, a minute laterfl heard

a yell, like somebody was in trouble,

then a big splash. ~Naturally I ran in

the tunnel and struck a match. About

twenty feet down, I could see the wa-

ter was all riled‘ up, and a new hat

was floating around on top of it. I

yelled a couple of times and struck a

He turned sharply and went on then,

while Sam the jeweler, the rest of the

Ioiterers clustered around him, looked

appealingly toward Fairchild.



“What’ll we do?” he walled.



Fairchild turned. “I don"t know

about you—but I’m going to the mine.”



“It won’t do any good-bodies don’t

float. It may never float~if it gets

caught down in the timbers some-

“Why not borry the Argonaut pump?

“Go get it! Go get it!” This time

it was the wail of the little jeweler.

N preparing fruit salads, there are



numerous points to be kept in mind,



such as the general form of the

salad, the combination, the dressing

and the garnishing. If these are con-

sidered one may have am infinite and

appetizing variety.



A salad may be served in delicate

green or rosy apples which,have been

hollowed out, or in small or large mel-

ons, tomatoes, peppers or other vege-

table casings in like manner. The salad

proper may be just a salad, or it may

have a meat value by the addition of

hard-boiled eggs, nuts, meat left-overs

or cheese. Celery, head lettuce or any

of the dainty vegetables may be com-

bined with fruit. Bananas and melons

cut in cubes may be combined with

cherries, plums or strawberries. Pine-

apples, oranges and grapefruit may be

combined with cucumbers, pears, ap-

ples, grapes or olives. Other combi-

nations, such as lettuce, half of a to-

mato, chopped cucumber and green





pepper or lettuce with cream cheese-

designated as the neglected age





of childhood. The “better babies

sulted in the proper care of babies be-

ing rather thoroughly scattered broad-

cast, while recent health surveys in

our schools have resulted in parents

watching more carefully the health of

-The child is laying the foundation

for good health in the pre-school years

and must be watched carefully if the

foundation is to be well laid. Of

course, no child Can grow properly un-

less it has the proper food. However,

food alone will not keep the child

growing properly unless other funda-

mentals are properly adhered to. There

must be plenty of sleep in a quiet,

well ventilated room.



’ Quite often during the hot weather

my little lad of three has a bath'be-

fore dinner. Then after dinner I take

off all clothing but underwear, or put

on a thin nightgown and put him on

the floor in the coolest room in the

house for his nap. The windows are

all open, permitting a circulation of

air. During extreme hot weather the

little fellow‘has another bath before

The child should drink plenty ofwwa-

ter during hot weather. By all means

avoid eating between meals. Ice cream

' and the popular between-meal daint-

ies may be given occasionally at meal

time, but are harmful between ueals.



Children of this age are quite apt to

play too hard and become over-tired.

They should be watched, and not al-





lowed to run around too long in the.

shade for a part of the time, especial-

,ly during the hottest parts of the day.

olives or lettuce with moulded spin-

ach and hard-boiled eggs, and beets

matoes cut in quarters, are excellent

when served with French dressing. In

fact, there is no fruit or vegetable

which cannot be successfully combined

with another. fruit or vegetable to

make a palate-tickling salad.





The garnish appeals primarily to the





eye, although it is a decided addition





to any salad. Cress, lettuce, parsley,

nasturtium leaves, rose leaves or cur-

rant sprigs may all beused as a gal,“

nish, according to the individual taste.



Last, but by no means least, comes

the salad dressing. It is a very im-

portant part in salad making, and in

many cases the choice of the dressing

is really the making of a salad. One

must choose the dressing best suited





to the combination of the salad. The

following are some very good salad

dressing recipes:



French Dressing. -——With one tea-

spoon of lemon joice, fruit vinegar, or

vinegar, mix one- -half teaspoonful each

of salt and pepper. Gradually pour

this on three teaspoons of olive oil,

stirring constantly. Beat well and toss

the salad in this. Melted butter may

be used instead of the olive oil.



Cooked Mayonnaise—Place in a

double boiler ome teacup , of vinegar

and let come to a boil, and add a tea-

spoon of .salt, a bit of cayenne pepper,

.three teaspoons of mixed or French

mustard, three tablespoons each of

sugar, olive oil or melted butter. While

this is heating, beat the yolks of three

eggs with a level tablespoonful of

flour. Whip this lightly into heated

mixture and cook until thick, stirring

constantly and not letting it boil. Take

from stove and cool. This will keep

a long while without ice and is good.



Sour Cream Dressing No.1.—-Use

cream that is sour but not old enough

to be strong. Rub smooth the yolks

of four hard- boiled eggs and slowly add

five tablespoons of sour cream. Thin

with either lemon or fruit juice or

~vinegar.



Sour Cream Dressing No. 2.—Make

a smooth paste of a cup of sour cream

and a tablespoon of flour. Heat three

tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar.

two of butter and one-half teaspoon

each of sugar and mustard and a bit

of cayenne. Mix cream and flour in

this and cook three minutes, stirring

constantly. Just before removing from

the fire add the beaten whites (if two

eggs; Then remove and cool.



Parsley Mayonnaise—Chop and

pound one tablespoon of parsley, ad-

ding a few drops of alcohol to start

the juices and coloring. This gives a.

very spicy flavor to the dressing.

HE Hebrews were seized, as a

nation, in the great siege of

686, B. C., and large numbers Of





..them transported to Babylon, under





King Nebuchadnezzar. _After being

in that farooflf land for something like

sixty years (thoSe who had been taken

there earlier being in exile seventy

the opportunity was given





them to return. Many‘ did so. The





‘ gladness that the devout Jews felt may





be imagined. The land of their fath-

ers, the land to which Abraham had





gone in an early day; where Isaac and

" Jacob and David had lived; the land





tOward which the Israelites had made





'their slow, anxious way; where Elijah





h a d defied t h e

priests of Baal

and ‘Elisha had

healed the lep-

rosy of Naaman,

was to be theirs

again.

ful about return-

farm, where the barn door is off the

rollers, and the wagon and the mower

are standing out in the weather. It

may be one ’s native land, with all the

associations that go with the thoughts

of flag, or a glorious history. Joseph

0. Lincoln thus pictures the feelings

of the old father, when the children

are coming home for Thanksgiving:

“They’re comin' home! They’s comin’

They’re comin’ back today to

make the old place like it was afore

ONE gets an idea of how the Jews

felt when they left Jerusalem be-

hind them, a smoking heap, and were

escorted under armed guard to Baby-

Jon. It was the most terrific blow the

nation had ever experienced. People

could hardly believe their senses. God

seemed to have forgotten them, though

the prophets had said for years that

such would come to pass, unless the

nation became more righteous, and

ceased evil ways The passage that

describes how they felt is the 137th

Psalm. It has been called the most

tragic piece of writing in the‘Bible.

“By the rivers of Babylon, there we





sat down. yea, we wept, when we re-‘





membered 21011.4 If I forget'thee, 0

Jerusalem, let my right hand forget

her skill, let my tongue cleave to the

roof of my mouth, if I remember thee

not.” But now the opportunity was

given for them to return



Now, the curious fact about it is,

that the majority preferred not to go

back. Of course, the older generation

was dead, the next generation was well

advanced, and a third generation had

been born. They knew the Babylonian

language and had become accustomed

to the country. Moreover, they had





'prOspered. Many had made money.





Business was good, and they enjoyed





‘ a large degree of. freedom. To return

salem, the Temple, Jehovah, and they

had no desire to go back. Life was

easier under the Babylonian monarch

than building up a blackened, waste

city, whose only assets were the mem-

ories and‘sentiment'connecte‘d with'it.

No, they would not go. They did not

go, ,save leaders like Zerubbabel, Ezra,

and others.



It is the tragedy of time. Some-

fool on a 'city. street, and the cry goes

up, never again! But in a few days





the lifeless little form is forgotten, and





the defiance of the law goes on. Or—

The dead

in some towns are more numerous

than the living. The flower of a na;

tion’s youth is laid away in the earth.

Death stalks through the land, dis-

eases spread everywhere, there is fam-

ine, and typhus and tuberculosis. Na-

tions are bankrupted, world trade is

paralyzed. Never again! But already

men are talking about the next war.

Before the dead are decently buried,

learned m‘ilitarists are describing how

in the next war, the army will ot

make the mistakes it did in this 211‘!

If one would see the irony and bitter

tragedy of such talk let him read the

last chapter of the Outline of History,

by H. G. Wells, where he pictures some

women laying wreaths at the foot of

the cenotaph in Whitehall, while

across the way Sir Louis Somebody

(Wells is describing an actual occur-

rence) is describing at a meeting of

generals how they must use more dead-

ly gases, and the like, in the next war.

It is a scene to remember. Only a

sense of right that is engenderedvby

fidelity to God, will avail to keep the

fires of 1esolution binning in the heart.

Spasmodic resolutions and cries of

“never again" do not last, and avail

but little in the end.



God was not dead; as the Jews had

thought. They had learned much dur-

ing the exile. They had gone to Baby-

lon, thinking that Jehovah is the God

of the Hebrews. But they learned that

He is the God of the universe. Their

'attitude toward the world around them

was changed. They saw that JehOvah

works among other nations as well as

among the Hebrews. Out of the pain

and loneliness of the exile, as out of

the purging fire, there had come a

nobler class of men. Moreover, it was

a sifting process. The faint-hearted,

the ease-loving, fat souls did not see fit

to return and take up'the burdens of

rebuilding a noble nation. Others

whom the gods of this world had not

bound and fettered, did return and one

of the noblest chapters in Scripture

was written by their efforts. Is it not

ever so? We are told that to this day

large numbers of the descendants of

the Jews who remained in Babylonia

are to be found there. “The descend-

ants of the exiles still inhabit every

part of *Babylonia. Of the 011g hundred

thousand population of Bag ad, forty

thousand are. Jews. In the town of





Hillah, upon the site of Babylon, there,





'are probably as many Jews as Arabs.

In the malarial marshes of lower Mes-

opotamia, far from other habitation, I

have found Jewish families living

alone, cultivating their rice-fields, as

in the days of the exile.” ( Tarbell).

OW boys’ club work tendsto im-



H prove Michigan agriculture was

' explained by Mr. A. G. Kettunen,

assistant state leader of club work, in

a talk before the Marquette Rotary

Club. Mr.. Kettunen took Houghton

county as an example. When potato

club work was established in that coun-

ty, boys. belonging to these potato

clubs planted “Green Mountains along

side of the varieties planted by their

fathers. The first fall the boys got

twice as large a. yield as their dads,

acre for acre. That was argument

enough. The fathers got the idea and

now there is a general use of high-

grade seed of this variety in that

county. -

Mr. Kettunen read a. portion of the

“story” of the Stenson boy of Coving—

ton, telling how he had captured prizes

at the county fairs year after year in

competition with adult farmers, and

had won the state prize three years in

succession in the Green Mountain

class, thus having become the perma-





The surplus proceeds of his potato

sales had gone into pure-bred live

stock, and now a scholarship at the

Michigan Agricultural College was

his, with a. chance to study his chosen

projeét scientifically.



Letters from several Upper Penin-

sula bankers who had backed these





nent possessor of a. silver loving cup.





boys’ clubs with loans, were read,

which stated that never_a cent had

been lost in any transaction and that

the farm methods of the district had

been positively established. Mr. Ket-

tunen thought if. bankers would make

a. practice of sitting in at clubmeet-

ings occasionally they would become

more sympathetic with the club idea

and clearly see the value to the com-

munity and to business there in giving

it their support. Where bank loans

were secured, the father signed the

note of the son, which‘bore six or sev-

en per cent interest.



Of the ninety thousand peopl’e dwell-

ing in the rural sections Of the Upper

Peninsula, twenty- five thousand are

children, Mr. Kettunen said. If these

young people can be .taught worth-

while new ideas in agriculture, in time

the general level of farm practice will

be raised throughout the district.

There was no use, he said, in promot-

ing clubs for recreational purposes. He

was himself of Finnish descent, he

said, and he knew that it was practical

work that the Finnish farmers, who

are numerous in the Lake\Superior

country, want. ,He talked with them

in their homes and he knew how they

regarded this work. When they saw





their children beating them at their'





own game, they became converted to

new ways.

Dear Uncle Frank:



I was very sorry I did not win the

prize last time, but I can use one of

your “Pals” mottoes, “If you do not

succeed, try again.” I think that was

it. This will be the third time I have

tried and I can only hope I will suc-





ed.



I should like very much to see how

you work. I am coming to Detroit be-

fore long now, and certainly will come

if I can, and see you. I see in some

of your “Pal’s” letters that most of

them are your nieces and nephews. So

from now on you are my uncle and I'

am your niece. I’m sure you won’t

care, so I am doing just as I please.

And so you will please remember that

I am, hereafter, your niece, Effie Stone-

rock, Kalamazoo, Mich.





I am glad to get this reply to my

letter, and am also glad that you want

to establish a niece and uncle relation-

ship. I am perfectly willing. Write

again when you can, Effie.





Dear Uncle Frank: .

I have caught three woodchucks,

Dear Uncle Frank: -



I am very busy now, as every farms

' We have drawn about forty loads of

hay and still have more to get in. We

have just started cutting about ten

acres of wheat. We also have rye,

oats and‘ barley, also beans and com.



If we can get our work done in time

we want to go on a, trip and camp

out. Two years ago our family went

to Niagara Falls by way of Canada,

back through New York, Pennsylvania.

and Ohio, camping out each night and

getting our own meals. It is so much

fun, and besides you learn a lot of

geography and have plenty to talk

about during the year to friends~

HE response to the health contest

, showed that rural boys and girls

knew a lot more about health than

many people give them credit for.

This is gratifying, for health is a fund-

amental necessity in our pursuit of.

success and happiness. . . - .



Very often those abound- in good

health as most of our rural boys and

girls do, do. not. realize its value and





become careless with it. I have known ~





many naturally healthy young men go

to a premature death because they

thought health was inexhaustible,

While others less strong have realized

their lack and have conserved and ad-

ded to what little they had. So, it

pleases me to know that so many nor-

mal, healthy country boys and girls

realize the value of what they already

have and are trying to conserve it.

There is no panacea for getting or

conserving health. It can not be taken





A. from a bottle, but it can be obtained





by following conscientiously and per-

sistently, Nature’s simple health laws.



The one thing that was especially

noticeable to me was that practically

every paper sent in mentioned fresh

an“ and sleeping with the windows 0p-

en. This shows that the youth of to-

day pays no heed to the 01d supersti-

tion which‘ prevailed when I was a boy

that night air was dangerous, and

therefore it was necessary to keep the

Windows closed. What a foolish idea,

is the comment today.





I was out “healthifyiiig” when on my

vacation recently. I played ball a lot

and went in swimming nearly every

day, and frequently we had beach sup-

pers of “weenies” and roasted marsh-

mallows, while we watched the sun

sink into the lake. We also had hikes

and visits to the woods. In all, it was

a complete relaxation and recreation.





‘But even though I reverted to nature





I did not forget to brush- my teeth and

do the other little things necessary

for health and cleanliness.



By the way, due credit belongs to a

young lady associate in our office for

this health contest. She thought of





.’ it and announced it while I was taking





sun baths on the beach. The response

shows she made a wise selection.



The prizg—winning health rules are

given below. They were selected for

their conciseness and for the good

health suggestions they contained.

(Continued from page 97).

Lot 7, rye, middlings and tankage,

1:4.28. ‘ " . a

‘ While muscle and bone-building con-

constituents are necessary for grow-.

ing and fattening hogs, it would seem

that when th enutritive ratio is much

narrower than that recommended: the

daily gains are accordingly smaller, as

it is in Lots 2, 6 and 7, which gained

but 1.151 pounds. 1.17 pounds, and “1.12

pounds, respectively, per day. There.

also seems to.“ be some relation be-

tween the fact that the nutritive ratio

of Lot 6 was nearest that recommend-

ed, and that the hogs in this lot made

the most rapid gains. The nutritive

ratio of Lot 1 was next nearest to that»

recommended, and these hogs made

the second most rapid daily gains.

After paying for tankage at $60 per

ton and middlings at $30 per ton, the

returns received for the grains-fed,

with hogs selling at from $6.00 to

$10 per hundred pounds, are as fol-





lows:



. ' $6.00

Lot. _,,Feeds. * Hogs.

_, 1. Corn, rye, barley, 100 lbs.. .$1.18



2. Rye, per 100 lbs. 1.14

3. Barley, per 100 lbs. . . . . . 1.16

4. Corn, per 100 lbs ..... . . . 1.21

5. Rye, barley, per 100 lbs . . . . 1.16

6. Barley, per 100 lbs. . . . . . . . . 1.05

7. Rye, per 100 1bs........... .93





All of the above lots were fed sup-

plemental feeds of tankage, except

Lots 6 and 7, which were given mid-

dlings and tankage.



The above table needs but little ex-

planation. It is shown by Lots 6 and

7 that it was unprofitable to feed mid-

dlings at $30 per ton with barley and

tankage or rye and tankage, when hogs

sold below $7.00 per. 100 pounds. In

the same lots the value of rye given

is very high with hogs at the higher

prices and. middlings at $30 per ton,

owing to the small amount of rye con-

sumed. Corn and taukage again make

a very favorable showing,.and consid-

ering the average daily gain, amount

of feed consumed, and returns received

this ration gave the best results.





EDUCATION BASIS OF LIVE STOCK

IMPROVEMENT.





HE mere use of pure-bred sires

that are easily acquired will not

give the best results in the improve-

ment of live stock unless educational

work on the value of better blood has

preceded their coming. Only when

owners ”fully understand the value of

improved animals and are convinced

of their superiority to grades and .

scrubs, says the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture, will they make

good use of them by following an intel-

ligent breeding program. ' . ~

It occasionally happens, says the de-

partment, that pure—bred sires are

made easy to acquire and are taken by

men who are not really interested in

live stock improvement. It Would pay

much better to ”devote money and en-

ergy'at first to “selling” ideas on bet:

ter breeding. Much of sush, work in

this country beefibeen done by, the ag-

ricultural press, extension services of

the agricultural colleges, and the coun-





,-ty agent system, The department has





learnedgof instances where pure-bred





animals were put on 'farms‘ through





outside influence, but the results were

unsatisfactory. . Better“ results, in the

opinion or: the, ”department’s spc'Cialists





 

 





 





 





'or the national live- stock. and

board: ' " “ '





The department’s idea. is that, educa-‘

tion'is’ the basis of improvement, and

that'when the ecdnomic value of pure-

bred live stOck is realized the persons

interested will .flnd‘ ways forgetting

the animals’ and the problem will solve

itself. ‘





 





FROM FOOTJAND-MOUTH

DISEASE.





DANGER





W E are in receipt of communica-



tions from the Federal Bureau

of Animal Industry indicating that

foot-and-mouth disease is- becoming

widespread in some of the European

countries. One report indicates that

this disease appeared in 966 herds in

Great Britain {between January 1 and





March 5, 1922, requiring the slaughter _





of 43,735 animals. -



The United States has been very for-

tunate thus far in having escaped an

invasion of the plague, as itis expos--

ed by commercial contact with many

countries in which the disease has

been unusually preValent since the





war. The Federal Bureau of Animal ,

1.43 1.80 2.05 2.54

1.44 1.95 2.46 2.98





Industry is using every reasonable pre-

caution to prevent an invasion of the

disease and the personnel of that bus





reau has been so organized that Several





hundred veterinarians can be sent into

the» field for the purpose of suppress-

ing foot-and-mouth disease upon a few

hours’ notice. ' .



There are some sources of danger

from this disease which are very diffi-

cult to guard against. For example,

it seems possible for the virus of the

disease to be carried long distances in

the clothing or other belongings of im-

migrant farm laborers, and hay or

straw used as packing for crockery

and other goods.



It is desired that the danger from

foot-and-mouth disease be. given pub-

licity in order that those interested in

the live stock industry will be on the

alert for the first appearance of the

disease should we be so unfortunate as

to have another outbreak.



Every effort should be made- to pre-

vent hay and straw used for,packing

imported goods from reaching suscep-

tible animals and, where possible, the

animals attended by immigrant farm

laborers, arriving recently in a. com~

munity should be observed closely to

ascertain’whether or not they develop

the diSease. . . ,



The appearance of any disease i‘e-,

sembling the foot—and-mouth disease

should be promptly reported to a vet-

erinarian or the State Department of

Agriculture—Dr. B. J. Killham.





To ADVERTISE MEAT.





 





 





N the first of July, the collection,



of ten cents per car on all live

stock received at the 'various yards

will be madeto provide a. cooperative

fund for advertising the feed advan-

tages of meat. The campaign and the

collection are instituted with the ap-

inquiry after inquiry from people in

the cities seeking a. summering place

and asking if the milk in the section

~they are considering, is free from tu-

bercular infection.





“It is remarkable how closely people

have come to look for possible infec-

tion and infected cattle furnish an ex-

cellent source of transmitting tubercu-

losis,” Dr. Hunt stated.





“We found Grand Traverse county

one of the best prepared counties in

the state, thanks to the. misSionary

work of Frank Sleder,” he continued.

“All of the expense, such as salaries,

living expenses and other expenses of

the field forces now in your county are

borne by the state and federal gov-

ernment. All the county is asked to

do is to furnish drivers and get the

men about the. county. For instance,

our field expenses in Jackson county

were $88,000 but Jackson county only

paid $8,000 of that amount, the rest

being borne bytthe state and nation.





“As soon as this crew is finished

with the inspection it will move on‘.

We expect to clean up Grand Traverse,

Antrim, Charlevoix and Emmet coun-

ties on this trip. One man will be left

here to go over the herds again and

test all reactors. As soon as Grand

Traverse is rid of bovine tuberculosis

SILAGE Reduces COST. OF MILK.





o (Continued from page 97).





erprising dairymen are putting up

small silos for summer use.

.Erroneous Ideas Concerning Silage.

Some imagine because silage has

many good features ”that it is a “cure-

all”—a self-sufficient feed. “Man can-

not live by bread alone,” neither can

cattle exist and Show a. profit on sil-

age alone. Then, again, some think

that the silo is a “new—fangled” idea.

On the contrary, the early Romans and

the Incas in Mexico used it. ,It is one

of the oldest ideas in agriculture.





Another notion is that. ill-effects are

produced,’such as decreasing the life

period of the animal,‘ causing the ani-

mal to be susceptible to tuberculosis,

and to lose teeth. At the Michigan

and other experiment stations it has

been found that dairy cows which have

been fed silage all of their lives are

in the very best of health, have good

teeth and are not tubercular.



Tainting of milk occurs only where

silage is fed in poorly ventilated barns

or during the time of milking. This

can be avoided by feeding after the

milking.

WHEAT





The long awaited export buying of

wheat appears to have started last

week with the largest sales made since

the harvest of the new crop began.

Great Britain and Italy were the chief

purchasers. According to the depart-

ment of agriculture, the total yield in

thirteen countries of Europe and one

of North Africa for which estimates

are available will be 889,714,000 bush-

els compared with 1,016,083,000 bushels

last year and 1,040,606,000 bushels dur-

ing the five pre-war years 1909 to 1913

so that European requirements of for-

eign wheat in the next eight months

are large. If this buying reaches the

volume expected it will mean the pur-

chase of an average of 1,500,000 to 2,-

000,000 bushels daily in North America

right along. Besides the foreign de-

mand mills are absorbing a fair share.

Receipts at primary markets have

more than doubled in two weeks and

are about twenty per cent above the

average for this season in spite of in-

terference by the rail strike and the

coalgshortage which is retarding the

movement of cars and checking thresh-

ing in certain sections. A shortage of

empty cars is reported in the south-

west and in parts of the middlewest.





OATS





New oats are already arriving at

‘middlewestern markets, most of them

,being light in weight like the old crop.

Sometimprovement in the new crop

‘has taken place in the northern states

so that the final yield may be up to

.the average. Stocks of old oats re-

main heavy and with the movement

of new oats starting prices dropped to

f‘the'lowest level in years. An upward

trend is improbable, even with rail





‘ troubles looming up. , '





CORN





£11111 1&1: encountering broad de-





have bonght freely '





 





in the last few days and domestic ship-

pers to’ the deficiency states have been

active. But receipts at primary mar-

kets last week were the largest ,for the

corresponding week in the last dozen

years and prices were practically un-

changed. The crop has improved since

July 1, and barring frost or other~dam-

age can easily reach 3, 000, 000, 000 bush-





els again.

RYE





Rye is selling at a discount of about

thirty cents below wheat at Chicago

and sixty cents at Minneapolis. The

carryover of old rye is larger than us-

ual and one of the biggest crops ever

harvested is coming on. Prices are

apt to be low compared with wheat all

season. . [3g





FEEDS





Although feed markets are quiet,

the heaviest movement of wheat feeds

is reported from Minneapolis. The rail

strike is sustaining the market for

prompt shipment but prices for defer-

red shipment are at a discount of $1

to $2 below prevailing prices. Cotton-

seed meal for shipment before Decem-

ber is $3 to $4 cheaper than old crop





meal.

HAY





Hay maikets are quiet with good

quality hay readily absorbed and pric-

es inclined to harden slightly. The re-

ceipts of new hay are increasing.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices at Chicago dropped one

cent below the previous low point of

the season. Receipts are falling off





but weather has favored production





and arrivals remain heavy enough to

provide a small surplus for storage.

In the three preceding years storage

holdings have reached their highest





point in the last half of July, but they

do not decrease much as a rule before

the middle of September. Storage

holdings of frozen poultry on July 1

were 34,751,000 pounds compared with

a five-year average of 35 .824, 000 lbs.

Receipts are above the average.

CHEESE





With good weather for heavy "pio-

duction of high quality cheese and with

distributing markets well supplied,

cheese prices declined further last

week. Lower quotations failed to stim

ulate buying to a noticeable degree,

most of it being on a hand—tomouth

basis. At the close of the week city

markets were only slightly higher than

prices quoted in the Count1y. Cheese

distributors are looking for lower pric-

es and they. are waiting as long as pos-

sible to take advantage of the decline.





BUTTER





Butter prices declined last week,

reaching a point only slightly higher

than the low point of the season. Re-

ecipts are gradually declining but re-





main considerably heavier than the‘





average for this period of the year

and with storage holdings equal to or

above the average, buyers have been

disposed to go slow in making further

accumulations. That there is a large

surplus in current receipts over imme-

diate consumptive requirements is

Prices on 92-score fresh butter were

WOOL





A dull period in the wool market

generally reSults in a. material recline

in prices but such has not been the

case recently. Wool dealers who hold

most of the supply not yet in manufae

turers’ hands are not making conces-

sions because their stocks cannot be

replaced in the country on a, lower

basis. The fact of a prevalent scarcity ..

explains the behavior of the market.

The London auction opened firm to

higher last week, while the recent

sale at Hull was slightly lower on

Merinos but higher on c’ross-breds than

the preceding auctions. The American

Woolen Company, the leading factor

in the industry, opened its lines of

lightweight goods, quoting some of:

them five per cent lower than the high

point last month and practically inline

with the present wool market. Thus

far buyers have been rather slow to

place orders.





POTATOES





Potato shipments from the produc-

ing sections are running about forty

per cent above the average for this

season of the year. Supplies are com-

ing from as far north as Minnesota,

but Virginia is shipping about forty

per cent of .the total for the entire

country. Prices are down nearly fifty

per cent compared with six weeks ago

and the trend is slightly lower. Vir-

ginia Cobblers are quoted at $3.25 to

$4.25 in middlewestern markets.





. BEANS





The business in this commodity is

very quiet, buyers taking only enough

for their immediate needs. Domestic

pea beans have been worked into such

a small compass that the dealers will

shade 10@10%c. Roumanian pea

beans have been offered freely from

71/461280. Red kidneys are quiet With

prices firm.





DETROIT CITY MARKET





The market here has moderate sup-

plies w1th rices firm. The demand

was best fer peas, huckleberries, rasp-

berries,_corn and tomatoes. Potatoes,

carrots, butter beans, radishes and

leaf lettuce were draggy because of

over-supply. Prices are as follows:

Apples $1.25@2.25 per bu; butter

beans $1@1.50 per bu; cabbage 30@

50c per bu; cherries sour $3.75 per 24- \

GRAND RAPIDS





Heavy receipts of potatoes have un-

settled the Grand Rapids markets and

quotations have dipped to $1@1.25 per

bushel on No. 1’s. R. Yonkers, local

gardener, who is growing potatoes un-

der irrigtation, has been getting 25

cents premium on his offerings but the

size of the tubers from Greenville ter-

ritory began encroaching on his trade

early this week, indicating that the

spread between his product and that

of ordinary spuds may be wiped out

before‘the end of the week. Cabbage

is a drug on the Grand Rapids mar-

kets but other vegetables cbntinue

fairly steady. Hothouse tomatoes were

strong at 90c@$1 a seven-pound bas-

ket. Apple shipments increased this

week with more buyers in the market,

paying from 75c@$1 a bushel for the

early varieties, packages returned.

The Grand Rapids Growers’ Associa-

SILAGE FROM IACCLIMATED CORN

GOES MUCH FASTER.





R. D. M. STRINGER, of Eaton

county, Michigan, during the cow-

testing association year in 1918, plant-

ed special New Jersey silage corn. He

fed sixty pounds a day of this mate-

\I'ial to his Holstein cows'

Strange said it was well matured and

Well eared, but had big, coarse,‘heavy

stalks when put into the silo.

The next season Mr. Strange again

being a memberin the Eaton County

, Cow-testing Association, put in just or-

dinary acclimated field corn. This also

made a good growth and it' was well-

eared when put into the silo. He fed

to the same cows silage from this corn

at the rate of twenty-five to forty

pounds a day, and his cow-testing as-

'sociation records showed that he fed

practically the same amount of hay

and grain. The milk production was a

trifle in favor of the acclimated corn.





. Mr. Strangeremarked‘r that the cows.





were also in better condition at the

end 01’ the year than they had been the

year previous.

scarcely one-half the amount of sil-

age—A. C. B.

WHEAT





The long awaited export buying of

wheat appears to have started last

week with the largest sales made since

the harvest of the new crop began.

Great Britain and Italy were the chief

purchasers. According to the depart-

ment. of agriculture. the total yield in

thirteen countries of Europe and one

of North Africa for which estimates

are available will be 889,714,000 bush-

els compared with 1,016,083,000 bushels

last, year and 1,040,606,000 bushels dur-

ing the five pre-war years 1909 to 1913

so that European requirements of for-

eign wheat in the next eight months

are large. If this buying reaches the

volume expected it will mean the pur-

chase ol‘ an average of 1,500,000 to 2,-

000,000 bushels daily in North America

right along. Besides the foreign de-

mand mills are absorbing a fair share.

Receipts at primary markets have

more than doubled in two weeks and

are about twenty per cent above the

average for this season in spite of in-

terference by the rail strike and the

coal'shortage which is retarding the

movement of cars and checking thresh-

ing in certain sections. A shortage of

empty cars is reported in the' south-

west and in parts of the middlewest.





OATS





New oats are already arriving at

‘middlewestern markets, most: 01' them

being light in weight like the old crop.

Some improvement in the new crop

has taken place in the northern states

so that the final yield may be up to

the average. Stocks of old oats re-

main heavy and with the movement

of new oats starting prices dropped to

"the lowest level in years. An upward

trend is improbable, even with rail

troubles looming up.





CORN





encountering broad do-





floral:

m Exporters have bought freely





 





in the last few days and domestic ship-

pers to” the deficiency states have been

active. But receipts at primary mar-

kets last week were the largest for the

corresponding week in the last dozen

years and prices were ,practically un-

changed. The crop has 1mp'roved since

July 1, and barring frost or other dam-

age can easily reach 3,000,000,000 bush-





els again.

RYE





' Rye is selling at a discount of about

thirty cents below wheat at Chicago

and sixty cents at Minneapolis. The

carryover of old rye is larger than us-

ual and one of the biggest crops ever

harvested is coming on. Prices are

apt to be low compared with wheat all





season. FEEDS





Although feed markets are quiet,

the heaviest movement of wheat feeds

is reported from Minneapolis. The rail

strike is sustaining the market for

prompt shipment but prices for defer-

red shipment are at a discount of $1

to $2 below prevailing prices. Cotton-

seed meal for shipment before Decem-

ber is $3 to $4 cheaper than old crop





meal.

HAY





Hay markets are quiet with good

quality hay readily absorbed and pric-

es inclined to harden slightly. The re-

ceipts of new hay are increasing.





POULTRY AND EGGE





Egg prices at Chicago dropped one

cent below the previous low point of

the season. Receipts are falling off

but weather has favored production

and arrivals remain heavy enough to

provide a small surplus for storage.

In the three preceding years storage

holdings have reached their highest





point in the last half of July, but they

do not; decrease much as a rule before

the middle of September.





holdings of frozen poultry on July 1





were 34,751,000 pounds compared with

a five- -year average of 35, 824, 000 lbs.

Receipts are above the average.

CHEESE





With good weather for heavy pro-

duction of high quality cheese and with

distributing markets well supplied,

cheese prices declined further last

week. Lower quotations failed to stim-

ulate buying to a noticeable degree,

most of it being on a hand-to- mouth

basis. At the close of the week city

markets were only slightly higher than

prices quoted in the country. Cheese

distributors are looking for lower pric-

es and they, are waiting as long as pos~

sible to take advantage of the decline.





BUTTER





Butter prices declined last week,

reaching a point only slightly higher

than the low point of the season. Re-

ceipts are gradually declining but re-

main considerably heavier than the

average for this period of the year

and with storage holdings equal to or

above the average, buyers have been

disposed to go slow in making fu1 ther

accumulations. That there is a large

surplus in current receipts over imme-

diate consumptive requirements is

‘WOOL





A d;ull.perio'd in the wo'ol market

generally results in a material recline

in prices but such has not been the

case recently. Wool dealers who hold

most of the supply not yet in manufac-

turers’ hands are. not making conces-

sions because their stocks cannot be

replaced in the country on a lower

basis.

explains the behavior of the market.

The London auction opened firm to

higher last week, while the recent

sale at Hull was slightly lower on

Merinos “but higher on cross-breds than

the preceding auctions. The American

Woolen Company, the leading factor

in the industry, opened its lines of

lightweight goods, quoting some 05.

them five per cent lower than the high

point last month and practically inline

with the present wool market. Thus

far buyers have been rather slow to

place orders.





POTATOES





Potato shipments from the produc-

ing sections are running about forty

per cent above the average for this

season of the year. Supplies are com-

ing from as far north as Minnesota,

but Virginia, is shipping about forty

per cent of the \total for the entire

country. Prices are down nearly fifty

per cent compared with six weeks ago

and the trend is slightly lower. Vir-

ginia Cobblers are quoted at $3.25 to

$4.25 in middlewestern markets.





. BEANS





The business in this commodity is

very quiet, buyers taking only enough

for their immediate needs. Domestic

pea beans have been worked into such

a small compass that the dealers will

shade 10@101/ic.. Roumanian pea

beans have been offered freely from

71/461280. Red kidneys are quiet With

prices firm.





DETROIT CITY MARKET





The market here has moderate sup-

plies with prices firm. The demand

was best for peas, huckleberries, rasp-

berries,.corn and tomatoes. Potatoes,‘

carrots, butter beans, radishes and

leaf lettuce were draggy because of

over-supply. Prices are as follows:

Apples $1.25@2.25 per bu; butter

beans $1@1.50 per, bu; cabbage 30@

500 per bu; cherries sour $3.75 per 24-,

qt. case; eggs 30@35c; green corn 25

$2. 50@4 per bu; radishes, red $1@1. 50

GRAND RAPIDS





Heavy receipts of potatoes have un-

settled the Grand Rapids markets and

quotations have dipped to $1@1.25~ per

bushel on No. 1’s. R. Yonkers, local

gardener, who is growing potatoes un-

der irrigtation, has been getting 25

cents premium on his offerings but the

size of the tubers from Greenville ter-

ritory began encroaching on his-trade

early this week, indicating that the

spread between his product and that

of ordinary spuds may be wiped out

before‘the end of the week. Cabbage

is a drug on the Grand Rapids mar-

kets but other vegetables continue

fairly steady. Hothouse tomatoes were

strong at 900@$1 a seven—pound bas-

ket. Apple shipments increased this

week with more buyers in the market,

paying from 75c@$1 a bushel for the

early varieties, packages returned.

The Grand Rapids Growers’ Associa-

tion has purchased a grader and as

soon as it is install-ed, Its members

will pool and sh 1ft hrough the asso-

ciation. other tr t prices were: Red

SILAGE FROM ACCLIMATED CORN

GOES MUCH FASTER.





R. D. M. STRINGER, of Eaten

county, Michigan, during the cow-

testing association year in 1918, plant-

ed special New Jersey silage corn. He

fed sixty pounds a day of this mate-

.rial to his Holstein cows' and Mr.

Strange said it was well matured and

well eared, but had big, coarseuheavy

stalks when put into the silo.



The next season Mr. Strange again

being a memberlin the Eaton County

Cow-testing Association, put in just or-

dinary acclimated field com. This also

made a good growth and it was well-

eared when put into the silo. 'He fed

to the same cows silage from this corn

at the rate of twenty-five to forty

pounds a day, and his cow-testing as-

sociation records showed that he fed

practically the same amount of hay

and grain. The milk production was a

trifle in favor of the acclimated corn.





« Mr. Strange remarkedIthat the cows.





were also in better condition at the

end (If the year than they had been the

year previous.

ABOUT VACUUM TUBES.





 





, NYONE who has examined the

vacuum tube of the ordinary re-

ceiving set closely, knows how



they are constructed -on the inside.



There are three main parts: The fila-



ment, the grid and the plate. These



are enclosed in an evacuated glass cyl-

inder and. leads are brought out

through the glass to prongs to make

connections with the socket contacts.



The principal operation is very sim-

ple and can be understood by anyone.

It depends for its action upon several

fundamental facts which were discov-

ered long before the audion or vacuum

tube as it is called, made its appear-

ance.



First, if a small wire (filament) is

heated to incandescence inside an

evacuated glass cylinder, three things

will 'be projected from it out into

space. These are heat, light and elec-

tricity (in the form of electrons). The

first two we may detect by our nat-

Ural senses but the third was long un-

discovered merely because the eye

could not perceive it and it caused *no

effect upon the sense of feeling. It is

the third characteristic that is made

use of in the audion.





Second, after this discharge of elec-

trons from a hot filament was discov-

ered it was found that if a cold plate

was placed inside the vacuum bulb,

near the filament, and a lead brought

outside the glass quite an appreciable

flow of electric current would take

place from the filament to the plate.

It was also found that if a battery was

placed in the circuit this action could

be greatly accelerated.





Third, Dr. Lee DeForest, of this

country, made the discovery that if a

small screen or network of wires is

placed between the filament and the

plate and a very small negative charge

placed upon it the flow of electrons

from the filament, and consequently

the passage of current from the fila-

ment to the plate, would be blocked.



In this way the audion is made to

act as a sort of a valve in which min-



' ute impulses control comparatively

large currents of electrical energy. In

England “Vacuum Valve” is the com-

mon name for this piece of apparatus.

Its principal application in the radio

receiving set can be explained about

as follows:



The ether waves act upon the aerial



and cause an electrical current to flow

up and down through the tuning coils

and in and out of the ground. This

current reverses its direction very rap-

idly, about one million times per sec-

ond and it would be impossible to con-

struct a set of head ’phones that

Would operate with alternating current

at such a high frequency. However,

these impulses. may be made to flow

back and forth onto the grid of a

vacuum tube and thus control a com-

paratively large direct current which

in turn operates the ’phones.

_ Of course, only negative charges will

stop the plate current in an audion,

but since the radio waves set up a cur-

rent which flows first'in one direction

and then in the other, half of the im-

pulses are negative and the pesitive

charges have very little effect.



The audion‘ was not an invention. It

is the development and combination of

several principals into one piece of

apparatus. Dr. Fleming, an English-

man, was the first experimenter to use

anything similar to the present-day

vacuum tube. However, DeForest and

Armstrong, of this country, are the

Onesgwho developed it to its" > ‘

.There are only two general types of

manure spreaders—-the beater-on-the-

axle type—the John Deere, and the

beater-in-the-box type, which includes

all others. The John Deere is in a dis-

tinctive class because mounting the

beater on the axle is patented construc-

tion—others cannot use it.





The illustration above shows compari-

sons of the business end of these two

types. \ Study this. It shOWs clearly a
