CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FABMER SAYS:

Let’s not forget that the finest look-
ing hen is usually the poorest worker.

Did you select your seed corn or did
you just gather it? '

The one thing we can “put on the
hog” to advantage is fat.

Some people can get more music
out of a tin horn than others can out
of gold—plated instruments.

The principles of feeding should be
practiced on the farm table as well as
in the barn.

It will help the day’s work if each
of us will start out with a happy
thought in the morning.

~HE seventy-third

session of the

A G°°d Michigan State Fair
State is now history. The
F an" attendance was 87,601

greater than last
year’s and on Labor Day, a new rec-
ord was set for one day’s patronage.
The general sentiment of patrons, so
far as it was possible to study that
sentiment by mingling with the
crowds, seem to show a high appreci—
ation of the efforts made by the fair
management of the past year.

The writer has attended these an-
nual exhibitions for the past eighteen
years and by comparison he feels that
there was more to provoke construc-
tive thinking in the displays of this
year than at any previous session dur-
ing that period.

The exhibits of the United States
Department of Agriculture gave among
other things, a comprehensive idea of
the factors entering into the market~
ing of milk, the various items in the
cost of dairy feeding, the value of cow-
testing associations in building up
dairy herds and cutting down produc-
tion costs, and how bull associations
are bringing the best dairy blood with-
in the reach of the small farmer.

The exhibit of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College pressed home a score and
more of fundamental farming facts.
The need for better farm poultry flocks
and how, at comparatively small cost,
the‘birds may be kept in favorable
.quarters, were visualized. The graphic
showing of up- -to- date nutritional infor-

mation for humans, -the varieties of
grains, grasses and legumes. to select
. for the different districts of the state,
‘ the advantage in thinning fruit and us

ing ctti
the alfalfa plant and other mania. ;'

the reason for using up-to-date equip-
ment in agriculture, and a. hundred
other things were spread before the
patrons in a way that the truth could
not possibly be misinterpreted. The
exhibit of live stock, grains and hay‘
put on by the college was a real credit
to that institution. ‘ ’ ‘

The State Department of Agriculture
is also due a'wOrd of praise for the les-
sons brought home -to the thousands
of patrons on the value of selecting
breeding stock from Michigan‘farms.
The work the state is doing to make
its live stock population still more
healthful was graphically shown. The
bureau of marketing impressed upon
the fruit man not only the necessity,
but also the distinct financialadvan—
tages that are certain to come to him
in fully complying with the law’s re-
quirementsin grading and packing the
fruit products. *

In the live stock department could
be found much to praise in the way of
a well-balanced display and also in the
quality of the stock entered. The var-
ious classes of horses, cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry were well filled and
all along the line could be seen the
keenest competition for high honors.
The exhibitOrs of live stock have noth-
ing but the highest praise for the spa-
cious new coliseum building formally
opened on the first day of the fair.
This, with the present substantial.
poultry building, the remodeled sta-
bles for cattle and the assurance. that
the quarters for sheep and hogs will in
the very near future be on a par with
those for other stock, is paving the
way for making the Michigan State
Fair a most favored place for the ex-
hibition of the best stock of the state
and of the country.

The advancement being made in the
baby beef and fat steer classes should
not be overlooked. The number of
entries were much larger\ than last
year and the quality of the animals
left little to be desired. In this con-
nection the winnings of the boys and
girls of Lenawee county in the open
class is due special mention. Com-
ment on the boys’ and girls’ work and
the awards for the various classes of
live stock appear elsewhere in this
and succeeding issues.

The display of machinery, showing
the evolution of agriculture, was one
of the real interesting features of the
fair. The crowds which could con-
stantly be seen studying this divisiOn

f the exhibits prove that all members
of the American farm family are keen-
ly awake to the mechanical side of
their business, and they are looking to
the manufacturers of machinery and
farm appliances for relief in some of
the more arduous duties required in
the farm home and in the field.

In all, we wish to compliment Sec-
retary-Manager Dickinson and his co-
workers in the success of the 1922
Michigan State Fair.

We are these ill-fitting pegs because

the interest is in the ideal which so
seldom becomes real and in others it
is dead or sleeping, or perhaps in some
degrading activity. But regardless of
'where it is, if we cannot bring it to
our occupation it is our duty to our-
selves and to others. to find some 1180-
ful endeavor in which we "can fully
bring interest and occupation together.

When young folks in their teens
have found an occupation in which
they can put their full enthusiasm and
interest and have made a good start
toward a big success in that occupa-
tion they are extremely fortunate, and
the influence, or activity, which has
helped them do this can not be esti-

HE thought has
often‘ come to the

The quness writer which may be
of,“ L’tt’e ,expressed in the fol-
Difference 'lowing words: “What

a big difference a lit-
tle difference makes.”

An example of the working out of
this thought, is found in the case of a
fruit grower who uses Gand Rapids as
his market. This man, H. M. Peck,
gave especial attention to getting the
top prices for his product,-and the
little thing which turned the trick for
him was leaving the fruit on the trees
for a few days longer. These extra
few days on the .tree brought to his
peaches a ripeness and sweetness
which was not found in peaches as or-
dinarily marketed.

With this extra care in harvesting
the fruit, Mr. Peck combined attrac-
tive packages and an honest pack, and
now his fruit, because of its quality
and attractiveness, brings an average
of twenty-five to seventy-five cents per
bushel over the top price on a market
which is right in the center of a peach-
growing section.

There are thousands of fruit growers
who grow just as good fruit as Mr.
Peck does, up until the last few days.
But the care and thought he gives to
the crOp during those extra few days
brings a margin over the regular price
which greatly adds to his profits.

Many of us remain in mediocrity in
our endeavors because we fail to do
that little extra- which will lift us
above the average. It is that little dif-
ference in effort which makes such a
big difference in results.

Sopfiz'e Sycéle Says
Dear Friends.
Hy said some one suggested that I

write and tell my views of some of the
Syckle family happenings, especially

_with reference to our “Oughto.”

This is my chance as Hy is out help-
ing the neighbors thresh, which is
something he does not care to do. It
is a little unfortunate for me that Hy
is not built for work, as it takes just
about as much of my energy to get
him to work as it'does of his to do
the work. He seems to think that
most of his time
should be devoted
to thinking and to
having a good
time.

Now, I was very
angry when Hy
got that auto, as
he did it without
consulting m e,
. and besides, it‘
was one of these common kind of au-
tos. But you know it really does help
you to get around more easy and en-
large your circle of friends, and the
news you get from them adds to life’s
interest. And while I am usually kept
very busy. running my household, my
husband and all,‘I do find time to en-
joy a ride once in a while.

Hy is not a very good driver, so I
constantly have to tell him what to do
from the backseat. But he does not
seem to pay much attention to What I
say, which is rather aggravating. So
far we have not had any serious acci-
dents, but those narrow escapes are
more exciting and nerve—racking than
regular accidents, I believe.

The other day Hy .backed into a
woman and hurt her dignity, but he
got out and picked up her hat for her
and brushed the dust off her clothes,
and in his so—called gallant way, help-
ed her to the sidewalk, by which time
she fully redovered her, dignity.

No sooner did Hy get back to the
car than a man stepped up and asked
Hy if he had insurance. He said Hy
was likely to be sued for damages
when doing such things, but if he had
insurance, which I believe costs about
as much hs the car, he would be pro-
tected. I told the man that we did not
want any insurance, as I could amply
protectHy if the occasion arose. When
I spoke the man used no further argu—
ments.

For a long time Hy went to town
about eight o’clock each morning. I
found that he took this as a conven-
ient time to go so that he could take
some of the school girls with him.
Since then’ I have found it convenient
to go with him, and now he doesn't
care whether it’s eight o ’clock or any
other time, and Somehow he does not
have to go to town as often as he did.

I must close, as I want to mail this
"before Hy gets home. ~ _ . _ . _

';. HE oft used expression, “Pass-
‘ ing the Lemons,” is, I think, es-
~ , pecially fitting in connection
-with the sale of many so-called dairy
cows, for it is a fact that a great many
cows have been palmed off on an un-
, suspecting buyer for what they were
not.

Even the most careful buyers will
. pick a poor one .now and then, and it

is a. lamentable fact that too few of
our breeders of pedigreed stock are
big enough to send the culls to the
butcher. There are such men, of
course, and they are _ the ones who
reap the big rewards. F. L. Ames, of
Langwater fame,' was such a man.
Many animals bred in the purple were
sent to the shambles because they did‘
not measureup to the standard of in-
divi ual excellence and his sales of
.rece t years were always pacemakers.
His last sale in which about onehun-
dred animals averaged almost $3,000 is
a notable example of the value of in-
telligent selection.

It is in such times as the present
that rigid culling should be practiced,
’for with low prices of beef and dairy
products and a big overhead, we must
plan to get the last dollar out of the
milk or the carcass.

The‘cow-testing association is stead-

ily proving its worthin showing how
to pick out these dairy lemons, by
showing the. relation of cost to produc-
tion and the relation of form to func-
,tion. There is seldom, if ever, a herd
in any testing association that does not
have examples of unprofitable cows
and these are the ones the dairyman
should study by contrast with his best
cows, and,,his neighbdrs’ best cows.
Study the neighbor’s methods as well
and if he is a man who has made a
success his, advice must be of real
value. Keep in mind that a good 'work-
man must have good tools, whether a
stump puller, a cabinet maker, or a
dairyman.

If I were buying a cow I would pre-
fer to buy from a member of a cow-,
testing association. I would want to
see her record on the book. I would
want a production of at least three
hundred pounds of fat at .three or four

breed. Then 'unless the price were
prohibitive, I wOuld buy her, fdr there

is no profit in keeping low producers
or rather, the profit in high producers
is so much greater that one can not

Mr. Evans is Usually Found in the Field Studying Flant Types.

A Real Michigan Farmer

, HE history of the agricultural de-
velopment of Ogemaw county is
very closely allied with the biography
of its leading citizen, Mr. E. E. Evans,
veteran seedsman and booster of all
that is good for the community. He
has done more to develop better agri-
culture in this part of the state than
any other man. All his work has been
along the line of this development. He
has originated many varieties of farm
crops and improved and acclimated
many more. At one time he had raised
the standard of field peas in his county
so high that eighty per cent of those
shipped were graded as “firsts.” Or-
dinarily, the peicentages are reversed.
He was the first man in the United
States to introduce soy—beans success-
fully from the Orient and he is respon-
sible for some of our best varieties of

this crop. He raised the first alfalfa
seed grown east of the Mississippi
river and was instrumental in getting
that most valuable crop startled in
Manitoba, Canada. Mr. Evans is still
on the job, daily studying and experi—
menting with the plant variations that
the laws of nature have so generously
provided, in the hopes of finding some
variety of corn, clover, pea, or alfalfa
that will be better adapted to his local-
ity. No one should pass up an oppor~
tunity to visit with this wonderful stu-
dent of nature. If you fail to find him
among his experimental plots, you may
have to look for him on the banks of
some quiet stream or on the trail of
some game, because he is a great lover
o fthe out-door life. The world owes
much to this genial, unassuming gen-
tleman from West Branch.

dred and fifty pounds of fat upwards.

I have in mind a, herd of about twen- » *

ty cows that at the end of a year’s
testing showed ten extra good cows.
The balance were fair to low. It was
decided to sell some and finally only
the ten best remained. These tern re-
quired less labor and feed and have
made more net profit than the whole
twenty did before. And the good part
of this transaction is that the fellow
who bought the culls is mighty well
satisfied. He knew what he was buy-
ing. This is a case of passing goo‘d
lemons and I wish more sales of cows

could 'turn out that way, and it will be .

so as fast as men join cow-testing as-
sociations.

So study the cows and the records,
not only your own but also your neigh-
bor’s. Then take the flivver and go to
the fairs and to the agricultural col-
lege where you can see some of the
best of the various breeds and study
the animals and the methods of hand-
ling. Do not say these things are im-
possible and that you cannot afford it,
for honestly, if you are in the dairy
business you cannot afford not to do
it. Expensive buildings are not essen-
tial, it is rather the man or woman
with an ambition to succeed, that fur-
nishes the foundation for successful
dairying. If such persons undertake
to build up a good herd, nothing can
stop them.

GRANDMA’S CANNED FRUIT GOOD
AFTER FIFTY YEARS.

 

OME fruit products are said to im~

prove with age, but it is seldom that
canned fruit is kept any length of
time; At the homecoming of the Simp-
son family recently, Mrs. Kittie Simp-
son served her children and grandchil—
dren peaches canned by herself on
August 16, 1868, that date being the
birthday of her late husband, Robert
W. Simpson, who died eleven years
ago. These peaches, canned in the

early years of married life, fifty-four ‘

years ago, were in fine condition and
delicious after these years in the fam-
ily cellar.—M.

On "Rock in the Potato Business

By B. Mrmutfl

ETTING down to brass tacks,"
“Be sure you are right then go
ahead,” “Well begun is half
done,” are all sayings based upon the
same philosophy taught in ’the old
story of’ building houses upon‘sand or
rock foundations.
Permanent building requires that the
builder start right. Should the foun-
dation in any way be faulty, no amount

 

of pains taken with the superstructure
will correct the mistake, and menu]-
ity of the building is lessened.

It is just as important in developing
the potato interests of the state that
We go down to the rock and build
safely as it is in the erection of manu-
facturing plants and skyscrapers.

What are these fundamental essen-
tials in the potato growing business?

To me they would seem to be, first,

informed men who are anxious to pro—
duce a high type of potato; second, fav-
orable soil and climatic conditions, and
third, a healthy vigorous plant which
will manufacture a large quantity of
tubers of the desired kind from plant
food contained in the air and soil.
There are many reasons for' believ-
ing that in bringing together these es-
sentials Michigan potato growers are
especially favored with good leader-
ship. J. R. \Veston, potato extension
specialist of the Michigan Agricultural
College, and H. C. Moore, secretary of
the Michigan Potato Growers’ Associa-
tion, whose likenesses appear here-

’ with, are working overtime in an ef-

ness securely on a rock foundation.

These men are cooperating with the
county agents and producers in the
potato growing districts in gathering
information on the best practices in
the production of desirable tubers.
They are constantly on the outlook for
superior varieties and strains which
are especially adapted to Michigan
conditions and both are everlastingly
preaching the gospel of better cultural
and plant breeding methods.

The immediate task of these men
and their co-workers is the placing of
the certified potato seed business of
the state on a rock foundation. This
it seems they are doing, for one thing
is evident, and that is their insistence
on a most rigid roguing, of the fields
whose owners have applied for certifi-
cation. Last year about forty per cent
of the acreage inspected was turned
down because it failed to come up to
the high standards established for
Michigan certified seed. ,While grow-
ers have taken much more pains with
their fields 'this year and they are bet-

ter interned on what is wanted, the re ,
ieetions are likely to equal those of

last season, because the inspectors are
even more exacting now than they
were in 1921.

But while this may occasion some
grief to the individual grower, .the up-
ward development of seed potato
ideals and the insistence on attaining
as closely as possible these ideals are
two factors which are establishing the
potato business of the state upon the
rock of more efficient production.

A BIG ONIONDCROP.

 

HE estimated production of onions
' this year is_40,207 cars, or 20,309,-
000 bushels of commercial onions. In
1921 the commercial crop was estimat-
ed at 27,166 cars, or 13,757,000 bushels.
There are 64,100 acres planted this

year, as compared with 57,100 acres

last year, and the average yield is '31?
bushels and 239 bushels respectively
per acre. Michigan’s commercialcrop
for the present season is estimated at
1,306 cars.

TENTATIVE HAY GRADES ARE AN-
NOUNCED.

 

HE Federal Department of Agri‘

culture announces in tentative
form grades of timothy, clover and
mixed hays. The grades are based
principally upon color, but such factors
as stage of maturity when cut, brown
leaf surface, bleached heads and stems
and percentage of foreign material are
considered. Mixture is- the principal
classifying factor as between timothy,
timothy and 'clover mixed, hay and
clover hay. Meetings for discussing
the grades will be held at New York,
Chicago and Washington, D. C., on
dates to be decided later.

 

MISSION ASSOCIATION.

 

lCI-IIGAN live stock shippers, in

cooperation with Ohio and Indi-
ana shippers, have formed an organi—
zation known as the Producers’lCo-
operative Live Stock Commission As
sociation, which will represent them at
the East Buffalo live stock yards. The
purpose of this organization is to give
the live stock men a. commission repre:
sentative at these stock yards. This
new association will charge the regular
commission rates, but being coopera-
tive will prorate back to the shippers
any saving it may make. Elmer Beam~
er, of Blissfield, is the first president
of this organization.

 

GROWERS HAVE APPLES CANNED.

 

ECAUSE of the weak condition of
the apple markets, the fruit grow-
ers around Shelby‘have arranged with

A the local canning factory to can their

surplus apples. In this way apples
which would be shipped on a slumping
market will be kept in cans until the
canned product can be marketed at a
profit. )

COOPERATIVE THR‘ESHING.

 

ARMERS of Little Prairie Ronde

competed this year in threshing of
a thousand acres of grain. The thresh-
ing crew completéd this task in ten
days. Their best run for one day was
2,459 bushels of grain, with “sets”
made on three different farms that
day.

At the end of the threshing period,
all the farmers interested in this co-
operative accomplishment, and their
families, gathered at Finch Lake{ for
a picnic.

MUNICIPAL FRUIT. SALE.

 

HE city of Chicago is running a

municipal fruit market on its fa-
mous Municipal Pier. Recently in one
day they sold 1,400 bushels of Michi-
gan’ pears and apples at a saving of
more than $1,500 to the buyers. Duch—
ess apples sold for eighty-five cents a
bushel; Wealthies, $1.25, and Pippins
for $1.50. Orchard-run Bartlett pears
brought $1.00 per bushel,
Sorted kind sold for $1.50. Chicago has
been successful during the past few
years in running this municipal fruit
market during the heavy fruit harvest—
ing season.

DIP POTATO SEED ON ECONOM-
' ICAL PLAN.

 

HEN the potato growers conclud- '

ed their week’s tour on nine
northern Michigan counties, with a big
round~up picnic on Thomas Buell’s
farm, one' of the points of interest for
them was the public potato tank erect-
ed by the Elmira Cooperativc Market-
ing Association. It was suggested by
Mr. Buell and built by the association
to encourage growers to raise better
potatoes by planting not only certified
seed but disease-free seed.

So far as is known, this is the first
public dipping tank in the country, and
possibly in the world. The tank is
elevated on a little platform so that
the farmer can drive up closely with
his wagon load of spuds, set the filled
crates into the solution, let them soak
for thirty minutes, and then be lifted
out, placed on a drain board and later
reloaded for carrying back to the farm
for planting. The association has two
of these tanks, one in the open and
the other inside the warehouse. It is
estimated that more than 4,000 ,.bush—
els of seed potatoes were dipped in
these tanksand made disease-free last
spring. I

Public dipping tanks offer the most -

economic method of treating seed p0-
tatocs yet devised; and it is only a
question of time when it will be uni-
versally employed throughout the
Michigan potato belt and possibly in
every potato growing state in the coun-
try. It not only speeds up the work

fl but makes it possible to treat the seed

at the/lowest possible cost pe1 bushel.
The cost of erecting the tank is small.

Norse FROM A MICHIGAN FRUIT
. ,\ FARM.

 

~T is hot, hotter, hottest, and dry,
dryer, dryest, but the work must
go on. We have the biggest fruit
crop for years and. the market is any-
thing but good. Some folks have made
shipments Without getting enough in
return to pay for the packages. I note
though/that quality fruit sells well.
Over a hundred cars of fruit a day
leave the local markets, besides thou-
sands of packages on the boats. ; Peach-
es aré a drug on the market and only
the very best apples sell enough to pay
shipping charges. We have an enor-
mous grape crop this year and we are
anxiously watching the industrial sit-
uation in hopes of a. settlement soon.
enough to create a“ market for our
grapes, pears and late apples.

The grain men have it all over us
in one regard, as they can hold for a
better market, but we must sell when
the fruit is ripe, regardless of price.
No camping tours for us as we must
stay on the job the summer through
and even into the late fall. The other
side of the picture is that we make
enough from one acre of fruit to buy
the grain raised on ten acres. ‘
income of from two to five hundred
dollars from one acre is nothing very
unusual.

Just at this time I have several jobs
which need doing in spite of the heat.
The peach trees must be gone over
and the ripest fruit picked and packed.
Did you ever pick peaches? The fruit
has a fuzz on it which gets down inside

_your shirt collar and leads to lively
scratching. Picking peaches is a meas-
ly job on a hot. day; you get covered
with a coating of sweat and peach fuzz
which induces a most miserable feel-
ing. Between times I am cutting old
wood out of my two thousand currant
bushes, and fighting weeds in the vine-
yardsr Concord grapes are ripening
fast and after them comes the late
pears and apples. Corn cutting and
husking are only incidental jobs on our
little fruit farms, the same with potato
digging and bean picking.

One big problem which confronts us
in‘this section is the scarcity of ma—
nure. When the city men used horses

' for delivery and draying, we could haul
enough from town to make up the lack
from our own barns, but “them days
are gone forever.” The freight and
original cost of manure from the stock
yards is too high to pay for having it
shipped in. We must fall back on min-
erals and cover crops.

I am using oats for a cover crop in
my raspberries, and rape and buck-
wheat in the blackcap patches. These
have the 9513111351015 growing until
late fall and then dying so that they
are not a nuiSance in the spring.
Vetch and rye is all right for orchards
but will not do in raSpberries. Eyen
in orchards vetch is a. nuisance as the
trimmings get tangled in it and it is
some job to pick them out in spring.

me to put them to bed at nightsand
haven’t sense enough to go alone.

I have set out the Chinese cabbage
plants again and have hopes that this
time they will not all go to seed. The
new cabbage, new breed of chicks and
a flock of white ducks are my experi-
ments for this year. I have some seed-

RASPBERRIES A PAYING CROP.

 

R. W. H. CUNNINGHAM, of Mid-

land county, has demonstrated
that the light, sandy soils found in
many parts 0f the state, can be made
to pay big dividends, if the proper
crops are raised. On a tract offour
acres of raspberries, of which about
two-third was in bearing this year, he
picked eighty-eight bushels of berries
which brought $508. The cost of pick-
ing, outside the services of his own
family, was $60, leaving a net return of
$448, or $112 per acre. Few forty—acre
farms, devoted to general farming, will
bring in this large cash return, he be-
1ieves.—M.

Do You Want Duty-Free
POTASH? V

If so, write at once to the Representative from
your Congressional District, and also to both of
the United States Senators from your State, and
urge them to ask the members of the Conference
Committee, which - is now consdering the Tariff
Bill, to agree to the Senate 'amendment which
leaves Potash on the Free List, where it always
has been.

_ Briefly, what has happened is this:-— ,

The Tariff Bill passed thy the House imposed a
duty of $50 per ton on fertilizer Potash. The
Senate restored fertilizer Potash to the Free List,'.
and voted down a proposal to pay a bountv of $50
' per ton on potash produced in the United States.

  

  

  

The‘ question now before the Conference Com-
mittee is simply whether fertilizer Potash shall
remain on the Free List or shall pay a duty of
$50 per ton. This duty would double the price of
Potash to the farmer.

The House of Representatives did not vote on
fertilizer Potash as a separate item, although
many members wished to do so. There will now
be a chance for such a vote, wheri the Conference
Committee makes its report.

~ The proposed duty would make farmers pay over
sixty million dollars [$0,000,000.00] more for the .
same amount of Potash that they have been using
in the past.

 

 

The promoters of the speculative Potash enter-
prises in this country maintain a very active
organization in Washington, and will spare no
effort to induce Congress to impose this enormous
burden on the farmers of the country.

The Washington representatives of the Farm
Or anizations oppose this duty and 'will welcome
your help.

Write to your Congressman and Senators today,
and let them know how you feel about it. ‘ l

HE remedy for the present glut-
ting of the fruit market, accord-
ing to M. A. C. marketing and
horticultural experts, lies in better dls“
tributlon through precoollng and ship-
ping in carlots and in better seasonal
supply through increased cold storage
facilities. Fruit interests must organ-
ize if wastes are to be prevented in
the future, agree President David Fri-
day, Prof. ‘V. R. Gardner, head of the
M; A. C. Horticultural Department, and
other fruit and marketing specialists
at the college.

Improved marketing methods are of
great value even in an ordinary year,
it is said, but they become the factor
that means the difference between
profit and loss in a season like the
present one, when Nature has endow-
ed almost every fruit tree in the coun-
try with a maximum yield.

Under the present system in Michi-
gan there is a lack of storage facili-,
ties and growers are forced to ship to
Chicago and other centers outside the
state in order to preserve their crop.
In numerous sections too many varie-
ties of fruit are produced to make pos-
sible shi ping in carlots, and in many
localitl growers are not well enough
organized to build precooling plants,
which are necessary if Michigan grow-
ers are to ship fruit, such as peaches
and plums, to distant points.

The same disastrous losses now be-
ing felt by apple, peach and plum grow-
ers would have been suffered by the
strawberry interests last spring, it was

they had not been equipped with pre-
cooling facilities. Prof. Roy E. Mar-
shall and Prof. R. E. Loree, associates
in the horticultural department, told of
steps taken by theSOdus, Coloma and
Stephensville Cooperative Associations,
all located in Berrien county, where
fifty thousand Cases were received the
first day of the season. Half this
amount was placed in precooling
plants and the remainder was sold in
Michigan, at Chicago and at other

att - rP

nearby points. The strawberries pre-
cooled were -then shipped to distant
markets.

“This was a case where organization
saved the day for the individual grow-
ers,” said Professor Gardner. “Similar
remedies extended will solve the en—
tire problem of fruit marketing and dis-

tribution in the future.” /

In discussing the present abnormal
situation, he quoted figures issued by
the Federal Bureau of Markets show-
ing that twice as many carloads of ap-
ples have been shipped this year as in
1921. Not only has the production of
early apples been plentiful, but the hot
weather has hastened the ripening of
the late summer varieties. The result
has been a glut of themarket.

Professor Gardner predicted that
this oversupply is only temporary and
will disappear in a short time. The
situation is “not bad,”/he said, for
men with good fruit and facilities for
holding. The man with an inferior
product will have difficulty in making
a profit, and likewise the man with
early vegetables, even though he has
good fruit, is facing a loss.

“After the first of December the mar-
kets in this part of the country will be
more or less flooded with northwestern
fruit in boxes, at prices ranging from
$2.50 to $3.50 per bushel. Well-grown
Michigan fruit can compete with it
successfully and can secure facilities
for holding until that time of year.”

Practically all of the Michigan crop
of winter apples might be marketed
within the borders of this state if the
proper cold storage facilities were
available, according to Professor Mar-

'shall, who is making a special study of ‘

fruit marketing conditions in 'the state.
These must be provided by cooperative
organizations, he said. ‘Through the
medium of the Michigan Horticultural
Society, the- college is attempting to
persuade growers to standardiZe their
varieties, but years must elapse before
results in this direction are evident.

DIDTRICT VS. CONSOLl DATED
SCHOOL.

HE, duestion of school consolida-
tion is a live one, as-witness the
Widespread interest and com-
ment. Far 'be‘it from me to arouse
antagonism by belittling the district
school. I must takeissue, though, with
the writerstwho persist in asserting
that the rural child is far better edu~

cated than the child who attends the,

consolidated school or the city school.
Can one teacher with thirty to fifty
pupils, with thirty classes a day, cov-

ering eight grades of work, class peri-_

ods ranging from live to fifteen min-
utes, do as well for the pupils as a
teacher with butane grade? Is any
teacher so broad-minded and so per-
fectly» trained that she canrcover all-
subjects with: equal facility? Are the
drinking, heating and toilet facilities

oftherural school perfectly sanitary, r

and can they be kept so by a teacher
who does her own janitor work? Is the
equipment of the district school equal
to that of the consolidated school and
can it be kept so?

No consolidated. school district has
ever voted to return to the district
schools. Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois,
Idaho, Colorado and even South Caro—
lina are far ahead of.Michigan in
school consolidation. The thinly popu—
lated, poverty stricken, sandy land
state of Mississippi has more consoli-
dated- schools than the rich state of
Michigan. The impassable roads argu-
ment doesn’t sound very strong when
put alongside the state and county
plans for hard roads.

'4 I by no means oppose the district
school as an entity. It fosters a spirit
of independence and sturdy self-reli-
ance. It can be made into an ideal
school but the sad fact remains that

_ it isn’t.

I have in mind one district school in
Missouri. It has adequate heating and
ventilating, it was constructed with
correct lighting, it has a pressure
drinking system with a bubbling foun-
tain; it has sanitary, indoor toilets for
boys and girls; it has a basement fit-
ted up for domestic science, and an
attic for a playroom; it has a fine
library and science equipment, and an
excellent athletic field with full equip-
meat:r a paid janitor is on the job every
day. With a trained and experienced
teacher its work is fully equal to the
best in the consolidated school, and
the~school tax is far lower.

Is your‘school house built on the
plan of the dry goods box? Do the
children’s dinners freeze in the pails]!
Have you the double seats, hacked and
scarred by generations gone before?
Do the mumps, measles, whooping
cough and chickenpox “run” through
your school yearly? Does the light
come from both sides, creating a cross
light? Are the toilets perfectly sani-
tary? How often are they cleaned?

'There is nothing personal about
these questhns. Our ‘own township
schools will average as well as any in
the state. Our people are progressive
and tax themselves freely and heavily
to maintain good schools, but there is

a strong undercui/rent in favor of con?

solidation, and it is only a question of
time until it comes. —L, B. Reber.

‘The ’ 1923 Oakland

(is Indeed

The Ideal Farm Car

What other car, at anywhere near its
price, even approximates the value of
the New 1923 Series Oakland Six.

Visit an Oakland saleser and ex,
amine its superior worth. Go over it
point by point and your own sound
judgment will convince you that here
is automobile value without equal.

Note particularly its powerful, quiet,
overrhead valve, six cylinder engine,
so good that we guarantee its pCTfOT‘m’
ance 1'11 writing for 15, 000 miles. See
the unusually roomy body; the deep
cushioned, genuine leather seats.
Examine the sturdy chassis construe

springs, the size and strength of every
moving part.

Consider the many unusual refinements
that make country driving safer and

and controlled by the thumb while
driving; the improved carburetor with
automatic heat control; the door’
opening curtains; the cowl ventilator
and many other similar features.

These unusual features, coupled with
the known high quality of its con'
struction make this 1923 Oakland an
ideal farm car—a car powerful enough
to negotiate the roughest roads and the
highest hills; sturdy enough to keep
running year in and year out with a
minimum of service attention; roomy
enough for quick trips to market,
loaded with grain or produce; econom»
ical enough in first cost and in main,
tenance to be practically indispensable.

The more carefully you examine this
New Oakland, the more certain you
will be to buy it—not upon our word,
but because of its own high quality,
quality almost unbelievable in a car
that is sold for only $995.

_INTEREST 0N INTEREST

 

I have a mortgaged farm in Michi-
gan. The first time I failed to pay
interest he said that I could pay when
able;
thing. I knew I could not pay any-
thing until fall, but did not tell him
I was going to rent the farm. After

renting the farm, he demanded mortr

gage and interest. Can he collect in-
terest on interest without same being
in form of a note with interest men
tioned? He has occupied a house on

farm and has now taken share of'

crops which I put in. Is that legal?—
A. I. B.

Interest on interest cannot be col-
lected in the_ absence of special agree-
ment. The mortgagee has no right to
any share of the crops or to take pos-
session of the land in any way until
the right of redemption has expired
after foreclosure—J. R. R.

FORECLOSURE.

 

I bought a farm for $16,000 and paid
down $4,000, and for the remainder I
gave a first mortgage on the same
farm. The mortgage was to run five
years. As I failed to pay the interest
last September, they started to fore-
close on the mortgage. Can they fore-
close on me when the mortgage won’t
be due until 1926? They say I must
redeem or surrender by January, 1923.
They started foreclosure before second
payment of interest was due. Can I
make them pay me the balance of my
down payment if I must surrender?
—l—W. S. R.

The answer depends on the wording

of the mortgage. If it provided that

on failure to pay any installment of.

interest or principal the mortgagee
might declare the whole sum due, and
there has been such default and dec-
laration served by the mortgagee on
the mortgagor the whole is due and
probably being foreclosed. If there
was no such provision in the mortgage,
still the mortgagee might foreclose for
mere default to pay interest; but in
that case the foreclosure might be
stopped by merely paying the default-
ed interest.—~Rood.
REMOVING EARS OF CORN BE-
FORE ENSILOlNG.

 

I plan to snap corn from the stalks
just before silo filling. The corn\will
be matured. Would it have as much
feeding value as‘ where cut and put in
shocks? My idea is to pull only the
largest ears and leave the smaller ones
go into the silo—E. A.

When corn is well dented it. con-
tains its full feed value. In fact, if
it could be fed then it would be eco-
nomical‘as i Contains its highest per-
centage of digestible nutrients.

Many before now have practiced the
plan proposed, and it works well if
everything is done right. When co‘rn
gets as mature as this, it usually does
not contain as much moisture as desir-
able fo1 the best e-nsilage and'a small
amount of water should be added at
the time of filling

When the ears are snapped ,they
must be placed in close to the row of
corn, or the corn binder wheel will
crush them. Some will be crushed
with the wagons in hauling the corn to
the Silo.

If the weather is dry, this corn will
cure out on the ground so it can be
husked and cr‘i‘bbed, but if wet weath-
er follows for any length of time some
of it will spoil. There have been years
when a good bit of it spoiled. If one
has plenty of hogs and other live stock
it can be fed out with little loss even
with unfavorable weather. ‘ ‘

Men who .havp studied this; question
most carefully prefer to ensilo the

corn before it is mature. enough to"

pick on? and preserve or feed in this

wayf/b'ut if the cutting is delayed then

last spring he said the same ‘

'it is probably the best plan; in fact,
few will dispute it.

,' FUNERAL EXPENSES.

 

My first husband died, leaving me
nothing. After a year I married Hus-
band No.2. He had eighty acres of
land. After I mariied, he gave me a
joint deed to his property. Now the
undertaker is trying to make Husband
No.2 pay Husband No.1’s funeral ex-
penses and debts Can it be done law-
fully?—Mrs. W. P O.

The widow is not liable for the hus-
band’s funeral expenses unless she ex‘
pressly contracts to 'pay for them; and
even if she did,K her subsequent hus-
band is not liable on such contract.—
Rood.

SUGAR BEET TOPS FOR STEERS.

 

What is the value of sugar beet tops
as feed for beef cattle? Can they be
safely fed in large quantities, say sev-
enty-five 01' eighty pohnds per head
daily? I am thinking of wintering a
load of yearling steers on beet tops
and light mixed timothy hay. Do you
think this would make a. satisfactory
ration? Also, should beet tops be fed
directly from the field, or may they be
put into the silo?—H. D.

If not fed in too large quantities,
beet tops furnish a very good succu-
lent feed. But they will take the
place of hay and grain only in a limit-
ed way. If fed in too large quantities
they will act as a diarhetic and be in-
jurious. A bushel basket full once a
day is all that should be fed for best
results. Sometimes cattle are turned
into the field and allowed to eat all the
tops they will. In fact, they are forced
to eat them by Withholding other feed,
but this is not economical; better feed
in smaller quantities and make them
last longer:

You can feed from the field up to
freezing time, but when cold weather
comes, keep the tops from freezing.
This can be done by hauling and plac-
ing in piles near the feeding barn and
covering with straw, and perhaps some
earth; or the tbps can be ensiloed.

A hay and gnain ration with the tops
will be more economical in'the long
run than to feed tops alone or tops
and timothy hay.

I

RAISINGICALVES ON SKlM-MILK.

 

Kindly tell us just how to feed and
handle calves, to be raised on separat-
01 milk. We would like to raise eight
or ten that way. —T. B.

Raising calves is both a science and
an art. One should know what the
calf requires, but it is an art to give
these requirements in the best and
most pxactical manner.

Allow the calf to nurse its dam at
least four times. This gives the calf
the first milk of the cow, which is
necessary to start the bowels in 21 nor-
mal condition. ‘

Teach the calf to drink, however,

before he has formed too strong a. hab-_

it for nursing. Give him whole-milk
from his dam for the first week. Then
use one-half new milk and one—half
skim-milk for one week. Then gradu
ally increase the skim-milk and de—
crease the new milk, so at three weeks
of age the calf is getting all skim-milk.

Do not feed too much milk, five
pounds at a feed is suflicient. Have
the milk always of the same tempera-
ture when fed.

As the calf grows larger and older
and requires more food, begin giving
ground oats, wheat middlings, corn
meal for grain, and also give clover
hay, ensilage or any roughage food you
have. This will make a bétter calf
than to feed large quantities of skiin-
.milk.

'particnl rly in the sputhern part

of the state, are interested in the pos-

sibilities of Michigan? winter barley.

' A few have. had,rem_arkable success

with the crop and. word of their

1 achievements has spread. Young Broth-

ers, at Niles," have beengrowing the.
crop for years and greatly prefer it to
the spring barley ‘for their conditions.

,Says Mr. Young:‘ "‘There is hardly a

season here but. what the drought
catches spring barleyrbefore it has fill-
ed, cutting the yields’so low that the
crop becomes unsatisfactory. ’ But 'the

,winter barley, maturing about the mid-

dle of June avoids that drought and
gives us splendid yields.” '

These growers have on different oc-
casions gotten better than fifty bush-
els of winter barley per acre and with
winter conditions at all favorable they
are sure of somewhere near forty bush-
els or better. One Allegan county
grower last year. on a trial half-acre
had a yield of forty bushels, and eighty
bushel winter barley has awakened
considerable interest in the crop in
that community.

Michigan winter barley is a" pedi-
greed variety developed by the Farm
Crops Department of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College. It is well suited to
the southern tiers of counties but
further to the north winter-killing is
apt to prove too serious a problem.
Like other barley, it does its best on

the fertile loams and heavier types of ,

soil. It should be seeded early in 8gp-
tember whenever possible as this gives
it a good start in the fall and a better
chance to come through the winter in
good shape. It is ordinarily ready for
harvest about the middle ofJune,~ thus
furnishing an exceptionally early feed.
For the stockman frequently it comes
in as a splendid early feed just about
the time he is beginning to run short
on old'grains and corn. This earliness ‘
also makes Michigan winter barley an
ideal companion crop for alfalfa seed-
ings. Its rapid spring growth gives lit-
tle opportunity for weeds to get under
way while the fact that it is removed
in June leaves the alfalfa with the land
to itself for the remainder of a long
season. '
Seed of pedigreed Michigan winter
barley is produced under inspection by
members of the Michigan Crop Imy
provement Association—H. 0. Rather.

CORN IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN.

 

HREE fields of corn indicate the

possibilities of this crop in the
northern counties of the Lower Penin-
sula. One of these is a six-acre field
of Golden Glow on the farm of A. D.
Smith, of Lake City. This variety
was released by the'Agricultural Col-
lege for the first time this year. Mr.
Smith has an excellent stand and with
reasonable weath'er‘ should‘ secure a
yield that will make this crop adis-
tinctly economical one to grow. Sev-
eral practical growers estimated that
he ought to receive between seventy-
five and one hundred baskets per acre
from the six acres.

Another field Was located on the
farm of Steven Sheppard, at East Jor-
dan. This was grown for silage. The
stalk, however, stood around nine and
ten feet tall, carried an abundance of
healthy leaves and stood thick in the
rows. The crop gave excellent testi-
mony to the sound practices of this
pioneer farmer. ,

The third field was also of the G01-
den Glow variety and was on the farm
of Mr. Nelson, of Aloha. This field
was unusually well cared and excited
the most favorable comment from'the
visitors.

"While there are many stands in this

THINGS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OWADAYS ailing people are not
N satisfied to have a big name quot-
ed as the cause of their distress
and thus dismissed. They want to
know the whys and wherefores. How
did this thing come and what can they
do to prevent it? A reader from Col-
on, Michigan, is asking some very
keen questions about that mysterious
“focal infection” to which so many
physical ailments are lately ascribed.
We are told much disease is caused
by “focal infection," and that said in-
fection is usually from one of three
sources, viz: teeth, tonsils or intes-
tines. Suppose we know such infec-
tion does not come from teeth‘ or ton:
sils and there is no trouble with ap-
pendix, what is the nature of this trou-
ble with intestines, and how can it be
remedied? If the bowel action seems
to be good, can there be pockets of in-
fection? Will Epsom salts thoroughly
clean intestines? Will castor oil do it
any better? Will fasting reduce in-
testinal trouble?

Focal infection wherever it may be
located, is of no great importance un-
less it contaminates the blood and
lymph circulation and thus is carried
throughout the body. The menace of
diseased tonsils or teeth, for example,
would be insignificant were it not for
the fact that the streptococci originat-
ing in these foci do not .stay there but
are carried through the body and find
lodgment in such critical places as the
delicate membranes of joints and
even in the heartwitself. Intestinal fo-
cal infection is generally limited to
the appendix and caecum, unless one
stretches things to include an infected
gall bladder (a very common site of
focal infection) as an intestinal dis-
turbance. There is a possibility of in
testinal ulceration and abscess in oth-
er regions than the appendix but it is
quite unusual. No cleaning out with
Epsom salts or other cathartics will
reach a focal infection, because it is
never surface matter but always deep-
seated. Fasting may be necessary in
treatment but will not cure.

There is another form of intestinal
trouble which profoundly poisons the
system; and that is “auto-intoxication"
due to failure of the bowels to unload
their burden of excrement regularly,
and reasorption into the system of the
offensive products. This would respond
favorably to cathartic treatment if
combined with bowel training that
would~1ead to regular habits of thor-
ough evacuation. The point is that
whether focal infection or defective
elimination, any source of body poison~
ing must be removed before one may
expect health.

TREATMENT FOR DIABETES.

 

My wife had diabetes for two years
before we knew what the trouble was.
She spent nearly four weeks in a hos-
pital on a test diet. She has been
home eight weeks. During that time
she has taken sweats in an electric
blanket, massage and violet ray treat»
ment two times a week for six weeks.
She diets strictly. Keeps her bowels
loose and exercises freely, but does
not gain flesh or strength very fast.
She is sixty years of age? We have
retired from the farm and now live in
town where we can have what we
wavnft 10; need. Please give us advice.

I am inclined to think that the treat-
ment is too strenuous. Persons who
do not develop diabetes until middle
life or later do not usually need, such
active treatment. The dieting should

only be carried far enough to determ-
ine the point of tolerance of carbohy-
jute food. It must not be too rigid.

So, when 200 builders of
cars and trucks choose Willard
Threaded Rubber Batteries as
standard, original equipment,
it means an overwhelming
endorsement of Willard design
as well as Willard quality.

Ever since you began
driving a car you’ve been
piling up in your mind evi—
dence of Willard quality,
Willard stamina, Willard abil-
ity to keep you out of battery
trouble! You know that a

keenly the superlative importance of correct design
as well as quality in all parts of ‘a motor car.

 
 

 

 

 
  
 

No one realizes more

less “in the long run”—and
mighty little, if any more, at
the start! _

Now the point is: Have
you nailed down your deter-
mination with spikes of steel?
Do you know that, when the

time comes, you’reigoing to .

buy a Willard Battery on your
own judgment—and not be led
aside by somebody who isn’t
going to have to live with the
battery as you will? In other
words, CAN YOU MAKE
YOUR DECISION STICK?
That’s the question.

What Has Happened So‘ Far:

After the death of Thornton Fair-
child, an aged miner of Cripple-creek
district, Robert Fairchild, his son,
reads a letter. From this he learns
of the Blue Poppy mine coming into
his possession, but nothing of the mys-
tery and silence that surrounded his
father’s days. He interviews his at-
torney and leaves immediately for the
west to claim the property. Upon ar-
riving he cannot help but feel the
mystery and illusiveness of the situa-
tion Even Mother Howard, his
father’s old friend, seems to hold
something back. Squint Rodaine and
gang work against Fairchild. A strange
friendship grows between Anita Rich-
mond, whose father is in the clutches
of Squint Rodaine, and Fairchild.
Morrice Rodaine is in love with Anita
Richmond. Harry Hawkins, an old
friend of Fairchild’s father, arrives to
aid in the prospecting. By an ex-
traordinary plan Harry manages to
get the mine unwatered. At an old-
fashioned dance Fairchild meets Anita
Richmond again and they have sev-
eral dances together, much to the an-
noyance of young Rodaine. A real
hold-up is staged and one injured.
Young Rodaine swears the guilty par-
ty to be Harry Hawkins. The date of
the trial is set, with deeds of the Blue
POppy mine given as security.

 

“Not guilty, Your Honor," said Ran-
dolph P. Farrell. “May I ask the ex-
tent of the bond?”

The judge adjusted his glasses and
studied the information which the dis-
. trict attorney had laid before him.

“In view of the number of charges
and the seriousness of each, I must
fix an aggregate bond of five thousand
dollars, or twelve hundred fifty dol-
lars for each case.”

“Thank you; we had come prepared
for more. Mr. Fairchild, who is Mr.
Harkins' partner, is here to appear as
bondsman. The deeds are in his name
alone, the partnership existing, as I
understand it, upon their word of hon-
or between them. I refer, Your Hon-
or, to the deeds of the Blue Poppy
mine. Would Your Honor care to ex-
amine them ?"

His Honor would. His Honor did.
For a long moment he studied them,
and Fairchild, in looking about the
courtroom, saw the bailiff in conversa<
tion with a tall, thin man, with squint
eyes and a scar-marked forehead. A
--moment later, the judge looked over
his glasses.

“Bailiff!”

"Yes, Your Honor.”

“Have you any information regard-
ing the value of the Blue Poppy min-
ing claims?”

“Sir, I have just been talking to Mr.
Rodaine. He says they’re well worth
the value of the bond."

“How about that, Rodaine?” The

judge peered down the court room.
Suuint Rodaine scratched his hawklike
nose with his thumb and nodded. '

“They’ll do,” was his answer, and
the judge passed the papers to the
clerk of the court.

“Bond accepted.
for—"

“If Your Honor please, I should like
it at the very, very earliest possible
moment,“ Randolph P. Farrell cut in.
“This is working a very great-hardship
upon an innocent man and——"

“Can’t be done." The judge was
scrawling on his docket. “Everything’s
too crowded. Can’t be reached before
the November term. Set it for No-
vember 11th.”

“Very well, Your Honor.” Then he
turned with a wide grin to his clients.
“That’s all until November.”

Out they filed through the narrow
aisle of the court room, Fairchild’s
knees brushing the trouser leg of

Squint Rodaine as they passed. At the.

door, the attorney turned toward them,
then put forth a hand.
“Drop in Any day this week and

‘We’ll go over things,” he announced

cheerfully. “We put one over on his
royal joblots that time, anyway. Hates
me from~the ground up. Worst we can
hope for is a conviction and then a
Supreme Court reversal. I’ll get ,him
so mad he’ll fill the case with errors.

He used to be an instructor‘down at
Boulder, and I stuck th: pages 01‘ a
lecture together on him one day.

That's Why I asked for an early trial.

Knew he’d give me a late one. That'll
let us have time tostir up a little fav-
orable evidence, which right now we
don’t possess. Understand—all money
that comes'from the mine is held in
escrow until this caseis decided. But
I'll explain that. Going 'to stick around
here and bask in the effiulgence of real-
ly possessing a case. S’long!”

And he'turned back into the court
room, while Fairchild, the dazed Harry
stalking beside him, started down the
street. ’ .

“’Ow do you figure it?” asked the
Cornishman at last.

“What?” _

“Rodaine. ’E ’elped us out!”

Fail-child stopped. It had not occur-
red to him before. But now he saw it:
that if Rodaine, as an expert on min-
ing, had condemned the‘Blue Poppy, it
could have meant Only one thing, the
denial of bond by the judge and the
lack of freedom for Harry. Fairchild
rubbed a hand across his brow.

“I can't figure it," came at last. "And
especially since his son is the accuser
and since I got the best of them both
last night!”

“Got the best of ’em? You?”

The story was brief in its telling.

 

 

The Load Lz'flerr
By Hugh Kephart, Gladwin, Mich.

Now I’ll confess it made me sick
To hear a Harry, Tom, or Dick
Attempt to pull a scurvy trick
Like X. Y. Z.

An old tail—end'er’s dying kick
.lt‘s plain to me. .

For he would side-track Uncle Hy.

Al Acres, too, would have to fly.

He’d wipe the smiles from you and I,
‘Or so he tried, ‘
And then he’d scowl or sigh and s-i-g-h
Until he‘died. '

Now, Hy Syckle’s a grand old sage
And here with us is quite the rage,
Regardless of our sex or age,

We read him first,

Then over on some other page
Digest the worst.

Al Acres, too, he claims his share
0f moments that we find to spare.
We always see some real affair

Al figures in.
To fire him now would be unfair
To us or him.‘ '

The tasks they have are real as ours

A ray of sunshine when it showers

In fields of toil, a breath of flowers

We all enjoy ‘

To' cheer and lighten; treasured pow-
ers

That never cloy.

A glad adjustment of our loads.

A shaded nook on dusty roads,

An act or word that always gaads
To life a smile

Makes weary lives and dull abodes
So much worth while. \

So, Hy Syckle, you've got to stay.
Al Acres, too, remain and play.

I’ll take this chance to rise and say
I love you both.

And as to see you go, away

I'm mighty loath.

And it brought no explanation of the
sudden amiability displayed by the
crooked-faced Rodaine. (I‘hey went on,
striving vainly for a reason, at last to
stop in front of the post-’ofiice,‘as the
postmaster leaned out of the door. ,
5' “Your name’s Fairchild, isn’t it?”
asked the person of letters, as he fast-
ened a pair of gimlet eyes on the own
er of the Blue Poppy. ‘ '

“Yes." '

“Thought so. Some 'of the fellows
said you was. Better drop in here for
your mail once in a while. There's
been a letter here for two days!”

“For me?" Yaguely Fairchild went

'within and received . the missive, a'

plain, bond envelope without a return
address. He turned it over and over
in his hand before he opened it—then
looked at the postmark—TDenver. At
last:

“Open it, why don’t you?”

Harry's mustache was tickling his
ear, as the big miner stared over his
shoulder. Fairchild obeyed. They
gasped together. Before them were-
figures and sentences which blurred for
a moment, finally to resolve into:

Mr. Robert Fairchild,

Ohadi, Colorado.
Dear Sir:

I am empowered by a client whose
name I am not at liberty to state, to
make you an offer of $50,000 for your
property in Clear Creek County, known
as the Blue Poppy mine. In replying,
kindly address your letter to

Box 180, Denver, Colo.

Harry .whistled long and thought-
fully.

“That’s a ’ol’e lot of money!”

“An awful lot, Harry. But why was
the offer made? There’s nothing, to
base it on. There’s—”

Then‘for a moment, as they stepped
out of the post office, he gave up the
thought, even of comparative riches.
Twenty feet away, a man and a girl
were approaching, talking as though
therernever had been the slightest
trouble between them. They crossed
the slight alleyway, and she laid her
hand on his arm, \aimost caressQngly,
Fairchild thought, and he stared hard
as though in unbelief of their identity.
But it was certain. It was Maurice
Rodaine and Anita Richmond; they

came closer, her eyes turned toward ‘

Fairchild, and then—

She went on, without speaking, with-
out taking the trouble to notice, appar-
-ently, that he had been standing there.

“She loves her father. Isn’t that

enough to guess what they’ve done with

dairies know they can’t do anything
directly with Anita. She wouldn’t

stand for it. She’s not that kind of a
girl. They know that money doesn’t
mean anything to her—and what 5
more, they’ve been forced to see that
Anita ain’t going to turn handsprings
just for the back-action honor of mar-
rying a Rodaine. Anita could marry a
lot richer fellows than Maurice Ro-
daine ever dreamed of being, if she
wanted to—and there wouldn’t be any

I scoundrel of a father, or any grave-

yard wandering, crazy mother to go
into the bargain. And they realize it.
But they realize too, that there ain’t a
chance of them losing out as long as
her father's happiness depends on do-
ing what they want her to do. So,
after all ain’t it easy to see the whole
thing?” .

“To you, possibly. But not to me.’

Mother Howard pressed her lips in
exasperation.

“Just go back over it,” she recapitu-
lated. “She got mad at him at the
dance last night, didn’t she? He’d done
something rude—from [the way you tell
it. Then you sashayed up and asked

her to dance every dance withyou.‘

The Re.

You don’t suppose that was because
you Were so tall and handsome, do
you?”

“Well—” Fairchild smiled ruefully

——"I was hoping that it was because
she rather liked me.”

“Suppose it was? But she rather
likes a lot of people. You understand
women just like a pig understands
Sunday—you don’t know anything
about ’em. She was mad at Maurice
Rodaine and she wanted to give him
a lesson. She never thought about the
consequences. After the dance was

 

over, just like the sniveling little cow-I
ard he is, he got‘his father and went;h

to the Richmond house. There they,
began laying out the old man because‘
he had permitted his daughtei to do
such a disgraceful thing as to danCe
with a man she wanted to dance with
instead of kowtowing and butting her
head against the floor every time Mau—
rice Rodaine crooked his finger. And
they weren’t gentle about it. What
was the" result? Poor old Judge Rich-
mond got. excited and had another
stroke. And Wh‘dt did Anita do natur-
ally—just like a woman? She got the
high-strikes and then you came rush-
ing in. After that, she calmed down
and had a minute to think of what
might be before her. That’stroke last
night was the second one for the Judge.
There usually ain’t any more after the
third one. Now, can’t you see why
Anita is willing to do anything on
earth just to keep peace and just to
give her father a little rest and com-
l‘ort and happiness in the last days of
his life? You’ve got to remember that
he ain’t like an ordinary father that
you can go to and tell all your trou
bles. He’s laying next door to death,
and Anita, just like any woman that‘s
got a great, big, good heart in her, is
willing to face worse than death to
help him. It’s as plain to me as the
nose on Harry’s face.”

“Which is quite plain,” agreed Fair-
child ruefully. Harry rubbed the libel-
ed proboscis, pawed at his mustache
and fidgeted in his chair.

“I understand that, all right,” he an-
nounced at last. “But why should any-
body want to buy the mine?"

God and Money

Our lVeeély 'Serm07z——By N. A. Mchme

HE name “Malachi," from which
the lesson of today, comes,
means, “My Messenger.” It is
not known preciSely when Malachi

~ lived and wrote, but it is1 thought that
_ he may have been the one who pret

pared the way for the great work of
Ezra and Nehemiah. It is a discour-
aged and disenchanted age. Malachi

V seeks to hearten the people, and bring

them back to God. He tells them that
it is their unfaith-
fulness and their
dishonest dealing
with God that
has wrought trou-
ble.

The complaint
is heard that it
does not pay to
serve God; and
what profit is it
that we have
kept his charge;

‘ and that we have
walked mournfully before Jehovah
of hosts?” It is on old temptation.
The writers of the Old Testament
wrestled with it, as well as the new.
It puts its head up and hisses at us,
The entire book of
And the tempta-
tion to believe that one prospers as

or, man whose relative had:

 

“Why should this happen to him? He
has been a church member all his life,
almost, and a worker in the church.
Why should, he suffer this mental de-
rangement, that led to his self-destruc-
tion?” It is not easy to answer such
a question. We do not.\exactly know.
W'e live the life of faith by faith, and
we have got to take it by faith,,some
times when it is hard to do it. At the
same time he who assumes that God
is just and goes on that theory, will
not be disappointed in the end. There
are mysteries that are never fully an-
swered in this life. But the Whole
gamut of human experience shows that
it does pay to serve God. It pays the
individual, the community and the na-
tion. One does not Ifeed to be a preach-
er, or a philosopher to see that. The
highway is borderedwith the bones of
folk who have thought themselves in
no need of divine guidance. The jails
and prisons hold many human unfor-
tunates who never considered them-
selves as candidates for the church, or

 

who have fallen away from such

thoughts. A judgeof a domestic rela-
tions court in a large city makes'it a
rule of the court that people who are
seeking to be reunited in marriage, or
who are making" an effort not to be
divorced, must attend church once a
week. .

Try These Varied Honey Recipes

URING this season of the year

one is apt to tire of the sameness

of the meals. This monotony
may be broken occasionally by substi-
tuting honey for sugar in recipes call-
ing for the latter.

When this substitution is made‘one
should remember that honey is only
slightly sweeter than sugar, but con-
tains more moisture. For this reason,
one-fourth less liquid should be Used
in cooking with honey than when the
sweetness is furnished sugar.

Cakes baked with honey will keep
fresh almost indefinitely, and the same
is true of cake icings. It will keep
soft and in good condition for a long
time. The recipes given below are all
tried and true.

Honey Cookies.

One pint strained honey, half pint
buttermilk; one cup of lard; six cups
of sifted flour; one tablespoon ginger;
one tablespoon soda.

Place honey over fire till boiling hot,

then pour it over the soda and ginger ~

in mixing bowl. Heat the buttermilk
to boiling point and add. Beat in the
flour and add the lard last. Set in a
cool place till the dough is thoroughly
cooled. Care must be taken to mix the
ingredients in the order named. Roll
thin and bake in a moderate oven. Do
not in any caseosubstitute sour milk
for buttermilk.

Honey Cookies No. 2.

Two cups of honey; one cup of lard;
one cup sour cream; flour to mix soft;
three eggs; one teaspoon nutmeg; one
cup of chopped raisins or cocoanut.

Stir the honey, shortening and cream
together; add the eggs and beat until
smooth. Sift in about a cup of flour
to which the nutmeg has been added.
Add the raisins or cocoan-ut and if the
dough is too soft to handle, add more
flour. However, the dough should be
as soft as possible and handled on a
floured board. After cutting they may
be handled with a pancake turner.
Bake in a moderate oven.

Honey Cake.

Half cup of sugar; twothirds cups of
honey; one and one-half cups flour;
two 'egg yolks; one-quarterteaspoon
of cinnamon; one teaspoon of lemon.

Sift the flour and cinnamon togeth-
er. Mix the sugar and egg yolks, add
the honey, and then the flour gradual-
ly. Roll out thin, moisten the surface
with egg white, and mark into small
squares. Bake in a moderate oven.

Honey Doughnuts.

Two and one—half cups of honey;
butter size of an egg; one teaspoon of
cream of tartar; one teaspoon of soda;

two eggs; one cup sour milk; pinch of
salt; three cups of flour.

honey. Melt the butter and add. Sift
in the flour to which the Cream of tar;
tar has been added. Fry quickly in
fresh sweet lard.

Apple Honey Marmalade;

Cook tart apples until smooth and
soft. To every two pounds of fruit add
one pound of honey. Cook until thick
and put in jars but do not seal. It will
be ready for use in a few weeks.

mon together and .pour the scalded
milk over the mixture. Dip out a little
of the fluid and mix with the corn

starch. Add this to the pudding and“

thickens. Serve with cream.
Honey Raisin Bread.

Three cups flour; two tablespoons
butter; one-third cup of honey; one
compressed yeast cake; three-quarters '
of a cup of milk; one egg white, beat-
en; one cup of raisins, chopped; two
teaspoons of salt. .

Scald the milk and set aside to cool.
When cool, dissolve the yeast cake in
it. Add a tablespoon of the honey and
one and one-half cups of flour. Beat
thoroughly andset in a. warm place to

MAKE YOUR own CANDIED FRUIT.

 

FRUIT which, is to be candied should

be washed, peeled or pared if nec-
essary, and then cut or sliced. Drop
fruit into boiling water for two or

three minutes, drain well and cover

with a syrup made by boiling together
one pound of sugar for each pound of
fruit, with one cup 'of water. Boil the
fruit rapidly in this syrup for fifteen
minutes. Remove from the fire and
allow to stand over night. The next
morning boil for ten or fifteen minutes
again. Repeat the heating and cool-
ing for four to six days, according 'to
how rapidlythe water is drawn out
and the syrup absorbed. When the
fruit is transparent and bright lift it

I have some wool just as it is shear-

much to know what to do to get it

F. W.
The wool is first washed through

several hot soapy Waters to which has
been added one-half package of borax.
The wool should be pressed up and
down in the water to rid it of dirt.
Do not attempt to put it in your wash-

ing machine, as it will become too on
‘tangled. After the wool

has ' gone
through four complete washings, using
plenty of soap and borax, place it on a
blanket to dry in the sun. When com-
pletely dry, it must be picked up loose
and fluffy, either by hand or by the

- use of wooden combs, the hand process
. being much more

efficient. Many
particles of dust and dirt will be re-
moved by this process.

From experience I have found this
to be very satisfactory filling for com-
i'orters,and mattress tops, and it is
superior to the 'cotton filling because
of its lightness and extra warmth.

OUR WEEKLY SERMON.

 

(Continued from page 285).
man high in the counsels of the Farm

Bureau of another state says he bought
a farm at what he thought was a. bar—
gain. The soil is excellent, and the
buildings good. But he found that he
paid a high price. The whole commu-
nity is stained with immorality, and he
cannot get a good tenant to bring his
family and remain on the farm any
length of time. The only church in the
vicinity has been closed for twenty
years. And' as for nations, what was
it we were saying, during the war?
Was there not a nation that had brok-

‘i'l‘en the laws of brotherhood and. was

a. . ma fatten:

ALACHI charged his people. with

robbing God. “But ye say, wherein
have we robbed thee? In tithes and
offerings. “It was the law in ancient
-Islael that each person should give a
tenth of his crops to Jehovah, besides
freewill offerings. It was believed that
the individual prospered in proportion
as he was faithful in this regard. Now,
it has been very widely observed in
this country that tithing does have an
effect on the financial condition, the
spiritual state of those who practice it.
It is fearful, simply fearful, the drib-
bling amounts that many people give
to God’s work. Men who spend twenty
cents a day on cigars and think little
of paying fifty dollars for a couple of
tires, give twenty-five cents a week to
the church. and think it is something
great. A woman of large means was
once a member of my church. She
gave ten cents a week to the church.
One day she found out What some were
giving. She was surprised and asham-
ed, and changed her subscription to a
dollar a week. She said she wondered
what the preacher thought of her, all
the time she was giving that weekly
ten cents. That don’t mean that ten
cents is not a proper amount, and a
very goodly amount for some people to
give. But it was not so for her. Tithe
ing produces beneficial effects on the
tither. There can be no doubt as to
that. The whole idea of life’s meaning
comes out vividly. We are intrusted
.with what we have. Not money only,
but time, ability and Opportunity.
There is an account to give. Take the
matter of time. Everyone has twenty-
four hours a day on which to live. How
much of that is spent in the service of
one’s fellowmen? How much of that
is used for doing good? We are trus-
tees of our time. Then, ability. A man
has a good deal of ability in society.
We say .he is a good mixer. He makes
friends rapidly. This man never makes
friends for the kingdom. He never
wins men to God and the church. He
can win them for everything else, but
not that. Yet he is a member of the
church. He is a trustee of a large
fund of ability, but not a good trustee.
He may be embarrassed when he
turns in hisbooks. And then there is
the trusteeship of money. When you
buy'a farm, it is yours. If you have
the deed of it, the law will uphold your
claim. But in a few years it won’t be
yours. You will be in the cemetery,
and some one else will have the farm.

, By and by he will have turned it over

to someone else. The only oWner who
does not change is God. Hence, the
need and the wisdom of being a good
trustee of Him who has put us in
charge of time, ability, property, op-

have been wonderfully conscien-
tious trustees of What was committed
to them. ' One man who started in as
a soap-maker and whOse firm is now
famous, gave away a tenth of his in-
come, and as the business grew larg-
er, he gave away a larger per cent.
There are hundreds, yes, thousands,
of people today in America who prac-
tice the giving of a certain proportion
of their incomes. They are not rich
people. Just the common folk, like
you and me. “Honor Jehovah with thy
substance, and the first fruits of thy
increase.”

The thing that made me sweat the
most this summer, was washing a, tub
of clothes for mother, but I had an
awful time. I will tell you why:

Mother made some old-fashidned lye
of ashes and water. But I misunder-
stood mamma. She said to take the
water off the top and not get the ashes
riled up and get into my clothes. But
I stirred the ashes and water together
and put it in my tub. Can you blame
me for sweating?

 

By Jonathan Lyons, Jr., Elsie,. Mich.

The day I sweat the most was one
day when I was pitching manure. We
were on the east side of the barn and

 

Lavon Knapp and Her Pet Cat. 2

there was not the least bit of breeze
and the great wonderful sun was pour-
ing down its magnificent rays of light,
without which nothing could grow.
Trees, flowers, grain, and even we our-
selves could not live it if were not for
the sun. A

My, but it took a long time to get
it all out, and it was surely hot, and
not very pleasant. However, all in-
dustries have some jobs which are not
quite so pleasant. My motto is:

'However hard the task may be,
Other folks have won,
And we can do hte same if we keep
on working,
’Till the job is done.

 

By Luella Wilmarth, Quinck Michigan.

I think my warmest task this sum-
mer was making cookies. It .was on a.
real warm Tuesday, the weekly camp
meeting started on Thursday, and we
had fire in the cook stove besides.

We planned to stay the ten days, so
we had a lot of baking to do. In the
forenoon I made a. double batch of
hermits, those cookies with nut-meats
and raisins in them—one hundred six
cookies in all. ~Then in the afternoon
I made seventy-three white cookies. It
was very warm work but it was worth
While.

 

By Muriel F. Nunndey, Mt. Clemens,
Michigan.

The thing that made me sweat most
this summer was at a picnic on Wal-
pole Island. As there was nothing to
do my cousins, Kenneth, Aileen and
myself, rented a row-boat and decided
to row to Tashmoo Park, about five
miles away. Everything went well un-
til we came to the park. We saw a
sandy spot near the big dock and we
rowed to shore. ‘ ,

Kenneth got out and, went on th
Island to get a souvenir, leaving us
girls to watch the boat to see that the
breakers didn’t take ”it shay. -Whlle‘

the boat from sinking that I got so

Constructive Calf ClubWork

Young Milford H olrtez'n Club Eutfiuriuft: are Progreuz've

VERY constructive piece of live
stock improvement work is being
done by the Milford Holstein Calf
Club. This club, composed of eighteen
energetic boys, was organized early
last spring through the efforts of M.
E. Keyes and Mr. Earl Mastick as local
leaders. .
Last year Mr. Keyes visited the
Boys' and Girls’ Club live stock ex-
hibit at the State Fair at Detroit. He
was impressed with the possibilities of
Calf Club work, and upon returning
home, determined that a calf club
should be started in his community.
Mr. M. B. Liddell, of the First State
Bank, and Mr. Cass Gitters, of the
Farmers’ State Bank, gave their sup-
port to the club and loaned the boys
the money on the boys’ own notes
with which to purchase their calves.
After the club was started, the lead-
ers realized that they had a breeding
problem, so the Milford Board of Com.
merce appointed a committee to raise

money and buy a bull, the committee
consisted of Mr. Keyes, Mr. Mastick,
Mr. C. E. Lovejoy, and John Bush.

Three hundred and fifty dollars was-

raised with which the boys were to
purchase a bull for the club.

The committee purchased from Mr.
D. D. Aitkin, at Flint, a splendid grand-
son of King Ona and out of a dam that
has a. seven-day record of twenty-six
pounds of butter at four years old.
With the club._herd sire and the hellf-
ers, the boys have started in to do
some really good constructive live
stock work.

In order that the club members
might have something to sell and meet
a part of their obligations this fall,
Mr. Keyes hatched in his incubator
without charge, seventy-five eggs for
each one.

Mr. Earl Mastick, the energetic loCal
leader, meets with the club every two
weeks to discuss feeding, management,
breeding, stock judging, etc.

Our Letter Box

HIS letter box will be where the boys and girls can express thélr /

views, tell of themselves and things about the farm, or ask
advice. The most interesting letters each week will appear here.
Address your letters to me.—-Uncle Frank.

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

Here I am again, trying the picture
contest! This last week was rather
exciting, as five of the canning club
members went to the U. P. Club camp
for three days and we had a dandy
time. There were- about 185 boys and
girls there, an enormous increase over
what there Were two years ago. We
had much fun and also learned a lot
while there. Our demonstration team,
(another member and I), competed
against two other U. P. teams for a
trip 'to the State Fair, but we were de-
feated by Iron county. Therefore, we
will have to wait until another year to
visit Detroiteand the Michigan Farmer
offices, which means also seeing you.
Yours truly, Evelyn Hanson,» Powers,
Michigan. ‘

I almost envy the fun you had at

‘the Upper Peninsula Camp, and bet

The farmer, most of all, needs‘a long-range
Crows have a habit

of getting just a few yards out of reach of
the ordinary load—hawks are often out of
“gunshot”—ducks and geese many times

fly just a little too high. .

The Western Superex shotgun load has
been specially made for this class of shoot-
ing. It holds a close, tight pattern and
gives a very high velocity because a special

smokeless powder is used.

Super-X will

give you as much as 40% added range—
this often means more than twenty yards.

If you want pattern, velocity and range

such as has never before been equale

in

shotgun shells, buy the Super-X load in the

famous Western Steel-locked Field Shell.

Ask Your Dealer

Talk to your dealer about Western am-

munition.

It is sure fire, clean and accurate

and the most reliable all-around load for
use on the farm. Western New Chief Shells
are made especially for shooters preferring

black powder loads. _

THE FARM PROFIT PRODUCER.'

 

N these dolorous days of low prices
for farm products, Mistress Biddle
cranes her neck, cocks an eye, and
gives utterance to a shrill cry of tri~

“umph. For be it known, Mistress Bld-
die is causing more shekels to flow into'

the farmers’ exchequer than some of
his major enterprises, and she isn’t
ashamed to let the world know it.~

Cost and production figures gathered
by the Farm Management Department
of M. A. C., on thi1ty-nine farms in
Lenawee, Jackson, and Shiawassee
counties for the twelve months ending
March 31,1922, show that the poultry

flock is one of the best paying parts '

of the farm business.

The flocks on these farms averaged
a return of $200.28 above feed and oth-
er direct costs. That the figures apply
to the ordinary farm flockvis shown by

‘the fact that these flocks averaged 118

hens. The average return per hen
was $1.70. Thirteen of the flocks show

, returns below $1.50 per hen, seven

above $2.25 per hen, and nineteen fell
between the figures. These statistics
are taken from records carefully kept
by the farmers and summarized by
farm management specialists under
the direction of H. M. Eliot.

One of the striking facts of poultry
management brought out by the study
of these flocks was the effect of protein
feeds upon both egg production and
net returns per hen.

E. C. Foreman, head of the poultry
department, commenting on this phase,
declares: “The hen is .the only do-
mesticated ‘hnimal that manufactures
her products in sanitary packages
ready for human consumption. Biddie
has demonstrated time after time that
she is the greatest revenue collector
on the farm. This fact has been, amply
demonstrated by the recent survey
conducted by the farm management
section of this station.

“The average farmer is not, how-
ever, practicingvtrue economy in the
matter of egg production. Biddie is
laboring under a serious handicap in
that she is requested to produce a
counterfeit article. This is one of the
miracles Nature does not intend that
she shall perform. All eggs contain
definite amounts of protein and fat,
and these must be supplied to the hen
in the raw state in exact proportions.
The unbalanced ration limits produc-
tion and in most cases the protein sup-
ply is the limiting factor.

“Many poultxy producers labor un-
der the delusion that meat scrap or
tankage is too expensive. for poultry
feeding. On the contrary, few people
can afford to retain a flock of hens
that are not given the opportunity for
optimum production. It is absolutely
essential that the common grains, in-
cluding corn, wheat, oats and barley
be supplemented with protein-rich
feeds because they do not provide all

        
 
     
 
   
       
         
         
   
    
     
     

 

   

the nutrients in the proper proportion
for egg production. .

“Da-ta gathered reveal the. fact that
the ration including animal protein
produced flock, averages or 96.8 6883
per year per hen, whereas only 54.8
eggs per hen were yielded in the ab-
sence of animal protein in the ration. '

“Stating this in terms of dollars and
cents, the added investment of twenty
cents per bird for the animal protein
increased the annual profits 31. 30 per
hen, or a little more than doubled it."
—Henshaw. - 1

DUCK BREEDING QUESTIONS.

 

When do ducks begin to lay? At
what age and what does the average
duck lay? How can‘ you tell the male
birds from the others, and how many
should you keep with five females?

..J

Young ducks will often begin laying
at about five months of age, although
the breed and the management win
cause a variation. Pekin ducks may

law 125 to 140 eggs per year, although

this varies and seme breeding pens
may make a higher average- The In-
dian Runner ducks are usually the,

, heaviest layers and many are reported

to have laid around 175 eggs peryear
or more. There is a great variation,
depending on the vigor and breeding
of the birds. The feed and quality of
the range greatly influence production.

For the early breeding yards five
ducks to a drake is about the right
proportion. Later in the season six
or seven ducks to a drake seems to
produce good results. Adrake is ,apt
to have a longer body, bill and neck
than a duck, and also stand more up-
right. When ducks are two or three
months old they“make a coarse quack
while the drake makes a rasplng
sound. These points, and noting the
actions of the birds, soon enable the
breeder to determine the sex.

POULTRY HOUSE DIMENSIONS.

 

I have a hen coop. twelve by thirty:
six-feet, and we have about 100 hens.
Do you think it would pay me to make
three pens out of it, or let all the hens -
run together in the coop?—P. De

I do not think it necessary to divide
a coop twelve by thirty-six feet into
three sections unless you are tohouse
separate flocks for special breeding
purposes. Sometimes a long house is
a little draughty when the entire
length is open. If that is the case you
might divide the house through the
middle, making two pens each twelve
by eighteen. The division can bemade
of lumber fitting tightly from floor to
roof. 'Then it can'be‘ closed in winter
to "make the air in the house mere
still. The door can -be left open in
summer when plenty of ventilation is
essential. If the house had been about
twenty feet long and twenty feet deep
the 100 birds could all .be manang in
one flock in a very satisfactory man-
ner.

FALL-FRESHENING ‘cows BEST
Pnooucsaa

 

HERE has always been a. diver-
gence of opinion as to what is the

n time for cows to freshen. But a recent

study‘ ‘by the. United States Depart-
. ment of Agriculture of the records of
10,870 cows in sixty-four cow-testing
associations throughout the country
shows that the fall-freshening cow pro-
. duces more milk and butter-fat.

On the average, cows that freshen in‘
the fall produced 6,689 pounds of milk,
while those that freshened in winter,
summer and spring produced 6,439,

-5,941, and 5,842 pounds respectively.
These fall cows produced on an aver-
age 268’ pounds of butter-fat, while
those. calved in winter, summer and
Spring produced respectively 258, 236
and 236pounds. In spite of the higher
feed cost, the fall-freshened cows made
more income over the cost of feed than
.those which freshened at other times.

On the basis of feed cost, the De-
cember freshening cows gave the larg-
est income over the cost of feed. Those
which freshened in October ranked
second, November third and January
fourth. The cows calving in October
ranked first in both milk and butter-
fat production.

BERLIN FACES MILK SHORTAGE.

 

HEREAS the pre-war consump-

tion of milk in greater Berlin
was 1,400,000 liters, the entire supply
for that region amounts to only 450,000
liters at the present time. The milk
now costs twenty-five marks per liter
and will undoubtedly advance rapidly
when economic stringencies make it
necessary to discontinue further food
subsidies.

PROFESSOR REED SPEAKS AT
PARMA.

 

THE people of Parma county held a
picnic and field day at Duck Lake,
August 25. The Parma Business
Men’s Association, Parma Cow—testing
Association and Jackson County Farm
Bureau cooperated to make the event
a truly community affair. The people
of Parma community have established
a reputation in past years because of
the good progressive spirit which they
show in‘all undertakings for commu—
nity betterment.

Quoit pitching was the main event
of the forenoon, nearly fifty entering
the contest to decide who was the best
horseshoe thrower in Farms and Sand‘
‘stone townships.

‘ After the picnic dinner, Professor
Reed, of, the Dairy Department of the
Agricultu‘ral‘ College, gave an interest-
ing talk along the lines of cooperative
community cattle building. .He pointed
out that the dairy interests and the
interests of the people of Parma were
closely related. The Parma creamery
furnished an excellent market for
cream and when the dai'ryman makes
money he, like other people, will spend
a large amount of it and ninety per
cent of it willlbe spent in the town
where he markets his produce.

The predominating dairy
around Parma is the Guernsey, and
Professor Reed spoke of several com-
munities where the Guernsey breeders.
organized, developed their breed, and
made the community famed for its
good cattle.

Cow-testing associations are the best
means of building up herds by showing.
the good producers. The time was

" 3» When}; if a cow was registered, that:

 

was considered an‘ indication of qual-
M. that: cattle lit-coders realize now:

breed ‘

one that masquerades under the pro-
tectionpot‘ registry papers. A scrub is
an inferior animal, be it scrub-bred or
pure-bred. There is a successful cow-
testing association in theParma com-
munity.

The afternoon was given over to a
variety of sports and from the attend-
ance and good spirit manifested there
is no doubt but that the community
picnic will continue to be an annual
event—E. C. Fowler.

More and more people are
finding out what a wonderful
help the De Laval Milker is in
putting more pleasure and profit
into the dairy business.

——“Could not get along with-
out my De Laval Milker.”
—“My cows never did so well
as they have since I in-
stalled my De Laval. ”
-—“The way cows take to the
De Laval Milker is won-
derful.”

——“I use the De Laval for
purebred test work with
perfect satisfaction.”

—-“We have two hours more a
day to work in the field since
using a De Laval Milker.”

—“I would not try to milk
without a De Laval if I had
only six cows.”

Making dai tying more. pleasant and

-“I cannot understand the
dairyman who will go on
milking by hand when he
could cut expenses by using
a De Laval.” '

We could go on quoting from
hundreds of satisfied users who
are practically unanimous in
their agreement that the
De Laval gets more milk from
the cows, produces cleaner milk,
saves time, and makes dairying
more pleasant and profitable.

You use a binder to harvest
your grain, cut grass with a
mower, spread manure with a
spreader and drive to town in
an auto—why milk by hand
when you can do it better with a
De Laval? Sold on such easy
terms it will pay for itself—-

ARMERS are fast learning the
economy of leaving the bulk of the
corn crop for the begs to harvest.
Once a farmer has experienced the ad-
vantage of this plan, he is loath to re-
turn to the old system of cutting the
corn and then husk‘ing it out by hand.
In order that the reader may gain a.
fairly good idea of what he might ex-
pect from hogging down corn and also
that he may know better how to secure
the maximum of profits, we are “review-
ing’ for him the results of investiga-
tions carried -on’ at the Missouri sta-
tion for the past few years.

Four distinct feeding plans have
beencarried on for three full years and
the averages are now available. The
first plan was to bog down corn and
soy-beans and supplement this feed
with tankage. The second plan provid-
ed for hogging down corn alone and
supplementing with tankage.‘ In the
third plan corn and soy-beans were
bogged down without any supplement.
And in the fourth plan corn alone was
bogged down without supplement. In
each of these fields, fifteen 110~pound
hogs were placed for a period of twen-
ty-three days.

At the end of this period the hogs
fed according to plan No. 1 gave a.
total gain of .541 pounds of pork per
acre. This group of bags consumed
207 pounds of tankage. The daily gain
for each hog was 1.75 pounds. Each
hog consumed .64 pounds of tankage
per day which made the amount of
tankage required for each pound of
gain .39 pound. The yields of grain in
this field were placed at thirty-six

soy-beans per acre.
The hogs in field No. 2 made a. total
gain of 623 pounds of pork per acre.

. become especially interesting, due
to the results obtained in investiga—
tions along a. number of lines of nutri-
tional work. Owners of hogs frequent-
1y find pigs developing 'swollen joints,
growing stiff and becoming crippled,
and brood cows breaking down after
farrowing, especially in the winter sea-
son. The question has been frequently
raised as to whether or not these con-
ditions are due» to a lack of roughage.

Careful work has been done at the
Wisconsin station to determine the
causes of these troubles. Rations were
made from corn and oil meal to which
was added two per cent of ground'rock
phosphate and one per cent of com-

constituents. Four groups of animals
were used in the experiment. One was
left as a check. The second group re-
ceived in addition to the above ration
ten per cent of finely ground paper,
while the third group received ten per
cent of charcoal and the fourth ten
per cent of ordinary dirt.

months.

They Work ‘While They Eat

They consumed” 280 pounds of tankage.
The average daily gain for each animal
was‘1.87 pounds per head. Each ante

‘mal consumed .76 pounds of tankase

per/ day and .41 pounds was required
for each pound of gain. The corn yield
in this field was forty-four bushels per
acre.

Plan No. 3 gave a. total gain of only
319 pounds of pork per acre, with a

. daily gain of 1.28 per head. The corn

in this field showed a yield of thirty-

four bushels per acre and the SOY‘.

beans 3.93 bushels per acre.

The hogs in field No. 4, which re-
ceived corn alone produced a gain of
318 pounds of pork per acre. This corn

yielded forty-three bushels per acre,
and It required twenty—six instead of'

twenty-three days to clean up the field
by this plan. The hogs gained only
.97 pounds per head daily.

A comparison of the above results
suggests the advantage in the use of
tankage when hogging down corn alone
or corn with which. soy-beans have
been planted. Park is produced cheap-
er where this tankage is used.

The farmer should see ‘ that an
abundance of water is provided and
should not neglect to keep the hogs on
full feed after they have once started.
In the event that the corn runs short
before the animals are marketed. sup-
plementary feed should be fed. A min-
eral mixture is also recommended. The
following has been found very service-
able: Glauber’s salts, three parts;
copperas, three parts; sal soda, three
parts; common salt, three parts; char-
coal, four parts, and sulphur, one part.

This mixture placed in boxes which-

are available to the hogs will aid in
the prevention of worms.

Do Hogs Need Roughage?

HIS is a practical question. It has

After these troubleshad developed,
the animals were given a daily dose
of codliver oil. Immediately they show-
ed improvement. The department re-
ports that in oneriinstance a pig which
had weighed 250 pounds and was los-
ing in weight, immediately upon the
administering of the- codliver oil began
to grow at a. normal rate while the
stiffness and swollen joints soon dis-
appeared.

Another evidence that roughage is
not necessary in the ration for swine
is furnished by a lot of hogs fed skim-
milk for a. yearwith no roughage ad-
ded. Though the animals In this lot
did not develop at a normal rate, which
probably was due to the lack of fat-
soluble vitamlnes in the skim-milk, no
trouble from stiffness was experienc-
ed. From this work it would seem,
therefore, that where all the necessary
nutrients . and Vitamines are present
in the ration, roughage is not necee
sary in obtaining normal development
in swine. However, these constituents
may be more economically secured for
the animals through the use of green

act of the state legislature requir-
ing that stallions be enrolled, there

were 660 grade and scrub stallions put 1

on the books at Lansing. In 1922 the
number was only forty- six. After Jan-
nary 1 next only pure- -bred stallions

'will be enrolled since the last legisla-

ture provided that no grade nor scrub
stallions would be recognized by the
state officials after that date.

Statistics show that only one horse
in every two hundred in the state is
pure-bred. While there .has been very
noticeable improvement in the type of
horse used on the farms and for truck-
ing during the past two decades there
is opportunity for the farmer who pro-
vides himself with pure bred mares and
breeds them to a good stallion of the
same breed.

Failure to Come in Heat—We have
a young draft mare that we wish to
breed, but this year she fails to come
in heat. Last year she was normal,
but we did not care to breed her. One
breeder suggested giving her Spanish
Fly, but I know nothing about this
drug and its uses. Would it be safe
and have any value? H. S., Evart,
Mich—Give one dram of powdered nux
vomica, one dram of ground capsicum,
half ounce of powdered licorice in feed
two or three times a day. Yohimbine
hydrochloride will give the best results
of any drug, but it is too expensive to
give to horses and cattle.

Thin Horse—W111 you please tell me
what to do for a horse that is hide-
bound and won’t take on flesh. He is
only nine years old, but has always
been low in flesh. L. F. K., Monroe,
Mich—Your horse is perhaps in per-
fect health, doing good work daily; if
so, leave him alone. He may be one
of the kind that will not lay on much
flesh. Give him three Grams of Fow-
ler’s Solution at a dose in feed two or
three times daily, also increase his
grain ration.

Cow Gives Bloody Milk.-—I have a
good Holstein cow five years old that
has been giving bloody milk for some
time and the different kinds of liniment
I have applied fail to do any g00d. M.
L., Michigamme, Mich.——Doubtless a
small blood vessel has opened which
allows blood to leak into one quarter
of udder. Correcting trouble of this
kind much depends upon the gentle-
ness of the milker, for rough milking
is a common cause of cows giving
bloody milk. Stepping over fence rails,
out of ditches, over high door sills, cat-
tle hooking each other, colts kicking
cows are all causes of cows giving
bloody milk. A removal of the cause
is perhaps the best remedy.

Brittle Hoofs.—i have a horse that
weighs 1,600 pounds and is troubled
with brittle hoofs. Tell me how to
treat him. R. W. A., Jonesville, Mich.
—-—As he is seemingly healthy you
should stand him in wet clay one hour
morning and evening. Apply swabs
wet with one part coal-tar disinfectant
and thirty parts water to coronets and
leave them on when horse is in stable.

Ringworm.—Some of my young stock
have ringworm, especially affected
around the eyes and nose, the skin is
rough and the cattle must itch for they
rub. H. P., Standish, Mich—Apply one
part iodine and eight parts of goose
gr'ease two or three times a week; in
some cases it should be applied daily.

Mange—I have a horse that is troue
bled with mange, affecting the skin un-
der hair of mane and scalp of tail. The
remedies I have applied fail to help
him. F. S., Comstock Park, Mich.—
Apply one part sulphur, half a part of
carbonate of potash, and four parts of
vaseline to mangy parts two or three
times a week. One part lysol and thir~
ty parts water is a fairly good remedy.

Heaves.—I have a five— —year-old mare
which has contracted heaves. Would
like to know if this ailment is curable?
Will feeding musty hay or grain cause
heaves? Will Wetting such feed before
it is fed prevent heaves? A H. Daft-
er, Mich. —Veterinarians believe that
heaves is an incurable ailment. Feed-
ing an inferior quality of‘bulky, non-
nutritious food is a common cause of
heaves. Wetting bad feed does not
prevent it having a bad effect. Feed
no clover or badly cured fodder, but
feed mostly grain and grass. Give half
ounce of Fowler’s Solution at a dose
in feed or in drinking water three
times a day.

Obstructed Teat. ——One of our cows
had sore teat, the end got sore first,
then the trouble crept up until most
of the teat was somewhat blocked. A
small bunch can be felt near middle of
teat. H. N., Shelby, Mich. —Foment
teat with warm water twice daily; also
use clean milking tube to draw off the
milk, and apply one part fluid extract
of phytolacca and five parts olive oil
to teat and lower portion of infected
quarter twice daily.

Shy.Breeders.—I have two cows that
came fresh last February, since then
neither of them have been in heat. J.
L., Harrison, Mich. ——Give each cow one
dram of ground- nux vomica and a tea-
spoonful of ground capsicum at a dose
in feed two or three times a day. Feed

plenty of grain. y' _ _._

WHEAT

For three weeks wheat prices have
held within a range of about five cents
per bushel. The movement of spring
wheat in the northwest as well as in
Canada has not expanded quite as rap-
idly as expected SO that values have
not declined below the dollar mark,
but on the other hand, the domestic
flour trade and foreign buying of
wheat have not been urgent enough to
bring about an upturn. Increases in
the estimated yields of wheat in the
United States and Canada as made re-
cently, together with a prospect of
good creps in the southern hemisphere
make the exportable surpluses in all
countries combined equal to the re-
quirements of importing countries dur-
ing the present crop year. The ques-
tion now is at what level can these
surpluses be merchandised. In view
of price levels upon other commodities
wheat at $1 per bushel can not be con-

; sidered‘ out of line to the foreign buy-
er. Nevertheless, values may sag be-
low this figure for brief periods during
the season of heavy movement in

Canada.
CORN

Demand for cash corn continues
brisk so that liberal receipts are being
absorbed. Prices are up about six
cents from the low point of a few

weeks ago.
OATS

Oats prices have advanced about
five cents from the low point as re-
ceipts have failed to show the usual
. increase following harvest. Arrivals
at primaries in the week ending Sep-.
. tember 2 totalled only 5,066,000 bush-
els compared with a ten-year average”
for the corresponding week of 8,500,—
'» '000 bushels. ~ , ‘

SEEDS

The clover seed markets advanced
slightly in the last two. weeks, due
primarily to light offerings. Above $10
for prime red clover at Toledo, how—
ever, a good deal of seed is for sale
and it is doubtful if values will get
above that figure very far in the next
few months. Reports upon the new
crops are favorable for the most part.

FEEDS _

Feed markets are inactive as buyers
are not purchasing beyond immediate
needs and flour mills are storing wheat

«feeds instead of forcing them upon the

market at low prices. Both cottonseed
meal and linseed meal have lost con-
siderable ground in the last few weeks.

HAY

The September estimate upon the
hay crop was 109,000,000 tons compar-
ed with 110,000,000 tons a month ago
and 97,000,00 tons harvested last year.
Prices generally are weak, with the
receipts equal to or slightly in excess
of the demand. Buyers are not going
beyond immediate needs.

BUTTER

Butter prices advanced again last
week. Hot weather continued to cut
down production as Well as to reduce
the quality of arrivals of the percent~
age of fancy butter. Undergrades were
not so scarce, however, and the result
was a wider range of values. Storage
holdings are decreasing, the decline at
the four leading markets in the first
seven days of September being over
1,000,000 pounds, whereas the decline
throughout September a year ago was
less than 200,000 pounds. In Septem-
ber, 1920, there was an increase of
nearly half. a million pounds. Cold
storage holdings on. September 1 in
the entire United States amounted to
112,164,000 pounds, compared with a
five-year average on that date of 109,-

350,000 pounds.

During August, stor-
age stocks increased ‘only‘ 8,835,000
pounds compared with a five-year aver-
age increase in that month of 12,333,-
000 pounds. ,

Prices for 92-score creamery butter
were:‘ Chicago 38%@39c; New York
39%0. In Detroit fresh creamery in
tubs sells for 34@341,§c. -

POTATOES

Potato prices lost ground again last
week. .Receipts were considerably
above normal and the supply of truck-
ed-in'pota oes on consuming markets
continues arge. Carlot shipments in
the week ending September 2 amount-
ed to 4,100 cars compared with 2,836
cars last. year, 3,445 cars two years
ago and 2,814 three years ago. Preced-
ing weeks show practically the same
comparison. Northern round whites
are ’quoted at $1@1.50 per 100 pounds
in wholesale markets.

APPLES

Apple prices have been recovering
slightly from the low levels which pre-
vailed a few weeks ago. Receipts,
however, continue heavy. The carlot
movement in the week ending Septem-
ber 2 amounted to 1,236 cars compared
with 1,102 cars in the- corresponding
week last year, 1,063 cars two years
ago and 913 cars three years ago.

. POULTRY AND EGGS

Cold storage holdings of case eggs
on September 1, according to the pre—
liminary reports of the bureau of mar-
kets amounted to 9,586.00 cases the
largest on record for the corresponding
date. The five—year average of 6,794.-
000 cases. The reduction in holdings
during, August amounted to 639,000
cases, the largest on record for that
monthand compared with a fiveyear
average decrease of 364,000 cases. Pric-
es are about fifty per cent higher than
the low point of the season. The ad-
vance has been exceptionally rapid and
a moderate reaction would not occa‘

BEANS

The market continues to rule weak

' and unsettled. Prices have weakened

on many lines to move goods. For-
eign white beans are receiving little
attention, while no native year beans
are quoted. Red Kidneys are weak
and declining.

FEED THE EWES LIBERALLY AT
BREEDING TIME.

For a period of five years tests have
been made by federal, experimenters
to determine the influence of feeding
ewes at breeding time upon the lamb
crop. Reports covering a total of three
hundred and two. matings show an in-
crease of eighteen per cent in the lamb
crop by providingthe ewes with. an
additional grain" ration, or with luX’
uriant pastures. This practice is call:
ed flushing. In the unflushed lots, the
percentage of lambs dropped was 128.8,
as compared to 146.9 per cent in the
flushed lots. Where grain was used
each ewe was fed approximately one
half pound per day of a mixture of
cern, oats and\cil meal.

NEW LAMP BURNS
M%Ami

Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz-
ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even
better than gas or electricity, has been
tested by the U. S. Government and 35

'ng universities and found to be_su-
perior to 10 ordinary oil lamps.
without Odor, smoke or noise—no pimp—
ing up, is simple, clean. safe. Burns 94%
air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil) .

The inventor is offering to send a
lampon 10 days’ FREE trial, or even
to give one FREE to the first user in
each locality who will help introduce
it. Write. today for full particulars.

Also ask us to explain how you can
get the agency and without experience or
money make $250 to $500 per month. Address

, ANY people have been convinced

- of the value of advertising man-

ufactured products, or those sold un-

der a. trade name. But there. are still

many who doubt the value of advertis—
ing the ordinary farm products.

That there is value in advertising
these products was shown by the egg
advertising campaigns carried on in
New York City and Los Angeles, Cali-
In both cities the egg con-

; sumption increased noticeably as a re-

sult of the advertising campaign. In
Los Angeles the demand for cold stor—
age shot up from nothing one week to
4,800 cases the following week after

the advertising was started. The of;

t‘ectiveness of these advertisements
was brought about by preaching econ~
omy. They showed that the consumer

; could get just as much food value out

 

i

 

‘ of thirty cents worth of eggs as’they

could out of a dollar’s worth of beef.
80 effective have these campaigns

. been that Pittsburgh is now planning

for a butter-and—egg campaign. It
plans to spend $10,000 in its initial en—
deavor, which will be followed up in
other years with smaller funds.

Such advertising efforts should prove
of great value in increasing consump-
tion. of other farm products at the
flush season of harvest when there is
usually a slump in the market.
