CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





The bucksaw may have to solve the

fuel question for many this winter.





The auto which makes the greatest

noise is not necesasrily the fastest

- goer. '



It is coming to the time to figure the

profits and losses of a season's activ-

ity. Have you the facts and figures to

do it with?





The dictionary contains every word

found in a good book on agriculture,

but it is not as interesting reading, be-

cause it contains only w01ds, instead

of thoughts.





FTER next spring

the Canadian gov-





Chap“ ernment will send out

Be’nq qualified men to grade

Dethroned all dairy products





manufactured within

the Dominion. The object in undertak-

ing this work is to improve the quality

and to maintain the highest standard

in these products. In order to put the

work on a safe foundation, arrange

ments have been worked out whereby

‘factories will be paid for dairy prod—

ucts according to the quality. This

will furnish a real inducement to pro-

‘duce the finest grades.





It cannot be denied that the estab

lishment of uniform grades for farm

products is one of the most fundamen-

tal questions affecting the business

side of American agriculture. It is of

importance to the farmer, to the trade

and to the consumer. It furnishes the

means through which much of the

waste and expense in distributing this

class of products are to be eliminated.





The California citrus growers have

been able to save the one and a. half

million dollar loss caused by decay

which was the result of bad handling

on the part of individual growers. They

" have also reduced the cost of distribu-

tion from fifteen to two and one-third

per cent throughstandardizing ineth-

eds.

grades and packages have paid them

well; in the, Improved market which

this has made possible. They have

it is a question that cannot be avoided

if we expect to make progress 01: the

business side of farming.





. HE number of





Michigan cow-

Oustmg testing associations in

the which all the grade

Scrubs and scrub sires have





been eliminated, is

rapidly growing. According to the lat-

est reports from the Extension Depart-

ment of the Agricultural College, there

are now nine associations that have ac-

complished this end. These are Kal-

amazoo, Wayland-Allegan, Wayne, Liv-

ingston, Lapeer, Calhoun, Antrlm,

Jackson-Rives Junction and Kent.





Judging from rumors we have re-

cently heard, several other associations

are working fast to clean out all the

scrub and grade herd leaders. Appar-

ently the cow-testing association fur-

nishes one of the very effective ways

of displacing inferior sires with pure-

breds, notwithstanding the fact that its

direct purpose is to locate .the non-

profit cows.





NE big disadvan-





Feed the tags agriculture _

has been working un-

Company der is the lack of ex-

Culls act knowledgeof the





season’s results. In

other words, farming has been run on

the same basis as the little store which

is operated without keeping books. In

such cases the operator “did not know

where he was going, but he was on his

way.”



Cows have, and ar,e being kept for

milkers, but many produce meat in—

stead. And hens have been kept to fill

the egg basket, but have only emptied

the feed box. Now, however, We have

methods available which will enable us

to pick out and eliminate those domes-

tice farm inhabitants whose chief oc-

cupation is consumption. It is up to us

to use these methods which are, inci-

dentally, among the greatest correct-

ors of flat pocket-books, known.





Chickens which have furnished the

farm wife pin money from time imme—

morial, and ineidently paid the family

grocery bills, are now gaining the at-

tention of real he-men because it has

been found that there is real money in

the poultry business. The problem is

to get it out.





Here we wish to give yOu a tip.

Reald the article in this issue by Mr.

Foreman, Michigan’s popular poultry

picker, and you will learn how to make

hens produce profits. Mr. Foreman’s

system of selection takes a lot of

guess out of the poultry business, be—

cause it shows to us the hens which

will never be accused of acquiring the

egglaying habit. - .



We suggest you read this comprehen—

sive article, go out and.pick the win—

ners in your flock and give them the

best of care. Next count the culls and

if you do not want to sell them, invite

the preacher to your house until they

are consumed, for they are the best

eating anyhow. After that feed him

eggs, because you will have more eggs

to spare than hens.





HE State Conser-





Win dow- _ vation . Depart-

Trimming nounced gifts of parks

wealthy and public-



spirited citizens, which bring up the

total number of state parks to thirty-

eight. Other parks are aswed which

will make available next summer to





Michigan citizens and visitors, forty? ~

“honey?” '





two places in which they can get next

to nature.

With this number Michigan leads





 





 

 





with her great lake boundaries as her

numerous inland lakes, assures us that





she will retain her position as the

leading resent state of the middle west.



These factors which make Michigan

8. great state of recreation are indirect-

ly of benefit to the farmer. The fact





that we have within our borders viSit-_





ors from all parts of the country at

the time when much of our fruit and

vegetable harvests are at their heights

gives us an increased “home consump-

tive demand” which greatly helps to

solve the marketing problem.





The great tourist travel on our high-

ways will also bring to a greater de-

velopment the farm roadside market,

which is one of the easiest and most

profitable methods of marketing ex-

isting.



Having become acquainted with

Michigan and her products, these tour-

ists are also likely to seek them in

their home stores after the vacation

period‘is over. This/is effective ad-

vertising and it costs nothing.



To make this advertising still more

effective Michigan should be dressed in

her company clothes and have her

shop windows attractive in appear-

ance, for these things make a great

difference in the impression made on

the visitor.





Your farm and your roadside are one

of Michigan’s shop windows. Is it in

the condition which would put pride

in the heart of a good window trim-

mer, or does it look like the windows

of the store which is “run down at the

heels?”



It is possible that much benefit

might result if we had some state-wide

organized effort to give instruction in

“window-trimming” the farm.





MAN who fights





- for the sake of

Something fighting is no hero. He

to Fight should be censured

For and not worshipped.





It is only through the

merest accident that His fighting can

bring him any good.



The man who fights best is the man

who has some worth-while object to

fight for. He has taken a survey of

the situation and has convinced him-

self that the only way whereby he can

accomplish this worth—while thing is

to fight. He then loses himself in the

struggle. Of all persons, such a one

is the happiest. He-is no four—flusher

and while he may not live'the spec-

tacular life that some self-seeking per-

sons are anxious to live, his is usu-

ally the most successful.





When I. observe a farmer who has

purposed in his heart to produce a bet-

ter cow, or potato, or ear of corn, I

say to myself, “Here is the man who

has started well.” It does not neces-

sarily follow that he will attain his

ideal, but nevertheless he will find

much happiness in his efforts toward

finding that ideal. In other words, he

is in a state of mind to live an unsel-

fish life, to fit into the mechanism of

all sound cooperative enterprises, to

become a community builder, and to

live a life that others will desire to

emulate.

While he was endeavoring to escape

the attacks of the angry bees, two

other lads pulled the combfrom the

troubles, while six hundred or more

have to deal with animal husbandry





and the remainder with a great variety,





of farm subjects.



Here is some “honey” that it would

pay every farmer to go after. This

is particularly true of those farmers





who are not getting on as well as are





their neighbors. In seeking this hon-

ey, however, one should net become

excited and begin striking at the bees.

If he does this he stands a good chance

of getting stung and perhaps losing the

sweets. Because a scientist may not

fully appreciate all the details of ac-

tual farm work is no reason why he

cannot discover for the farm-er some

worth-while facts.





 





S. 0.'S.fr0m S. 1/4. S.





I SEE you folks got a S. O. S.



while I was helpin’ threshin’, from



S. A. S., otherwise known as Sophia

Abigail Syckle. Now, Sophie is my

wife by marriage and is a pretty good

kind of a wife, ’cept that she’s got too

much a appreciashun of work and not

enough of thinkin’. ,.



1 Now, thinkin’ is great, stuff ’cause

you kin sit down on a hot day and do

it without sweatin’, and you don’t need

no tools to do it with either. I like to

think things out and then work them

‘out, ’cause it takes less work when

you do it that

way, sometimes.





 





summer I was



tryin’ to figure out



how I could get

, the corn cultivat-



ed without walk-

in"_ so much, but



by the time I got

> it all figured out

the weeds was so vigorous I had to hoe

most of them out, and Sophie wouldn’t

help me a bit. So it seems like there’s

times when there’s a savin’ of exer-

shun.by doin’ the thing first and then

thinkin’ about it afterwards.



But thinkin’ is great stuff. For inst.,

if there was more thinkin’ and less

emotin’ in love.aff~airs, the divorce

lawyers would have to use their legal

educashu‘n for diggin’ ditches. It’s the

thinkin’ of wrong thoughts what made

war; it’s the thinkin’ of the right'ones

what will bring peace.



And now about what Sophie said.

Well, there’s two sides to everything

but the truth, and that’s got only one

side. So there ain’t nothin’ for me to

say. Only, I know those school girls





 





 





is missin’ awfully them mornin’ rides '





the school.





I feel sorry for the girls, ’cause it

makes lots of differunce in how you

start the. day. For inst., when those

girls walk through all the dust and dirt

they get to school all tired out, but if

they ride, 'what you call briskly'and

jovially up to the school door, they are





full of what you call enthusiasm for





the day. I sure gotta find some way

of goin’ to town about eight o’clock in

the mornin’ again, ’cause I am worryin’

about those girls.





But speakin’ of Sophie, she is all,





right. It takes a wife to handle a hus-

band. Fact is, there wouldn’t be no

husbands if there was no wives.



We are what you call a pretty, well

balanced couple. What I ain’t got in

workin’ inclinashun, Sophie’s got, and

what she ain’t got in calmness, I got.

So, you see, we average up pretty well

as a couple.





 





Maybe you will get some mare an. ”“

HE economic advantages derived

from systematic and intelligent

culling, and selective breeding

repeatedly demonstrated.

Michigan hens entered in a number of

international egg laying contests, re-

flect the accuracy with which selection

‘ An

analysis of the poultryman’s problems

reveals the fact that the weakest link"

in the chain of success,'has been our

lack of knowledge of the earning capa-

city of the individual hen. The hen is

the unit of production, and the segre-

gation and sale of culls do not solve

the real p1 oblem of fecundity, although

it does protect against unnecessary

losses.



The earning capacity of either the

individual hen or the flock depends pri-

marily upon the intensity or rate of

production and the seasonal distribu-

tion. In some respects hens are like ~

automobiles: the mileage varies al-





, though the gas supplied is taken from





the same tank. The motor equipment

of hens reveals a striking contrast in

Speed, cost of~operation, and durabil-

ity. It is quite obvious that a hen-

laying six eggs a week produces them

more ecOnomically than the hen whose

inherent capacity limits her to three

during the same period. Likewise, it

does not require any mathematical

skill to decide which hen will be more

profitable: the hen that registers





[heavy production during the winter





months, when eggs are high, or the

hen that responds only during the

spring and summer months.



Michigan is credited with having ov-

er eleven million hens. By actual

count an average of thirty per cent of

‘Record No. 2. Showing the Score Made by a Real Egg Machine.





By E. C. Foreman,





Pro/euor q/ Pan/fly Hmbamiry at M. 19. C.





the hens on our farms are not return-

ing a profit. In other words, over three

million hens 'are annually consuming

eighty pounds of grain each and are

not returning a cent to the owner.

This is surely a national and economic

disgrace. In spite of this fact the poul-

try flock continued to yield a satisfac—

tory profit throughout the entire period

of depression, during and subsequent

to the world war. However, it is ob-

vious to large and ‘small producer alike

that more eggs from the same number

of hens or as many eggs from fewer

hens will greatly increase the net earn-

ing capacity of the individual or the

flock, by reducing unless expenditures

of time, labor, and capital, or unre-





sponsive and unprofitable stock.

Record No. 1 is typical of the aver-

age farm hen.





— V 5





She is not built like





culling of the old laying stock. A

combinaiton of tests including the‘ca-

pacity measurements, the pigmenta-

tion, and moulting tests,

used. The capacity test is quite ac-

curate in determining the present pro—

duction. Reference is here made to

the capacity, measured perpendicular-

ly from the tip of the keel to the pel-

vic bones, which are located on each

side of the vent. Most of the culling

work conducted throughout the coun-

try is conducted largely on capacity

measurement, in conjunction with pig-

mentation changes.



Figure 6 illustrates the contracted

condition associated with a dormant

ovary. The yolks or ovules in this

case are no larger than peas. When

the hen approaches a laying condition

the keel bone is forced downward by

a Marathon runner, but specializes in

shOrt distance sprints. Her production

is confined entirely to the spring and

summer months, when eggs have their

lowest value. This type of hen can be

readily segregated by three common

tests known as the pigmentation,

moulting, and capacity methods of de-

termining production.



Record No.2 offers a decided con-

trast in production, although retained

under exactly similar environmental

conditions. This bird shows greater

speed and persistency, both of which

are necessary in building high records



The two teims culling and selection

should have ascribed to them some-

what different meanings, according to

their general application. Culling of

poultry is usually based on physical





' changes that the hen undergoes as a





 

 

 

 

   

   

   

 

 





. ' «head charact/er.





result of -productlon. The weakness of

the commonly advocated systems of

culling is that the fowls must be re-





: tained from six to, eight months before

'the tests become valuable, and during





this period considerable loss may be

registered. selection for egg produc-

tion contains greater possibilities but

requires more skill. Selection involves





a close study of type, conformation, and.





 





the expanding. intestines which in-

crease in size to take care of the larg-

er ‘quantity of food assimilated, and

the organs functioning in the elabora-

tion of eggs, the ovaries and oviduct

likewise increase in size and weight.



The capacity measurement of the

egg sack therefore fluctuates with the

rate of ovulation. It indicates only the

immediate rate of production. A good

layer must have a large capacity, but

all hens with a large capacity are not

good layers. The weakness of straight

capacity measurements lies in the fact

that all laying hens, whether profitable

or not, develop sufficient capacity to

pass inspection. In fact, many medi-

ocre hens show more capacity than

the heaviest producers,



Allowances must be made according

to the size of the hen. Moreover, a

heavy-laying hen may be temporarily

off production, due to some environ—

mental condition. This would immedi-

ately be reflected by a. decrease in the

'capacity measurements, and unless a

little judgment was exercised, many

good hens would be discarded.



Greater efliciency in estimating egg

production can be obtained by supple-

menting strictly the capacity measure-





' ments by the quality of the egg sack.

Figures 7 an 8 illustrate the desirable ,

and undesirable condition. The degree

of quality is determined by the flexi-

bility of the egg sack. It should yield

readily by pressure directly abovethe

keel bone and below and between the

pelvic arches. The egg sack should

feel full, mellow, warm, and life-like

to the touch. The skin should be fine

and elastic, similar to the loose mel-

low hide common to the best dairy

COWS.



Recognized dairy breeders acknowl-

edge that the cow with the finest hand-

ling qualities 'of the udder is the most

persistent milker, maintaining more

uniformity of milk flow. The same rule

is true in egg production. Quality of egg

sack is correlated with continued pro-

duction over the greater part of the

year and is associated with late moult-

ing.



Normally, capacity of egg sack indi-

cates the rate of yolk elaboration or

the cycle of production, but quality of

egg sack determines the persistence of

rythm or the number of months the

hen will be productive each year.



Frequently, a method, commonly

called the pubic bone test, is applied

in culling. This gives practically the

same information that can be secured

by measuring between the keel and

the pubic bones. The pelvic arches

spread with production, which is mere-

ly one other physiological change that

occurs with production. Figure 4 shows

the contrast between the laying and

the non-laying hens. Figure 5 shows

the ovaries of the same hens. When

the bones are spread it indicates that

cent public formula dairy ration called

Michigan Farm Bureau Milkmaker

ration made up entirely from the milk

producer’s viewpoint—to get the most

money for the least investment in feed.

The ration has the approval of the

Michigan Agricultural College Dairy

Department.



The Farm Bureau’s public formula

is something new in the feed world.

Every bag carries on the regular an-

alysis tag the exact number of pounds

.of each of the milk-producing ingredi-

ents in the feed and shows that the ra-

tion carries no filler. This enables the

dairyman to tell exactly what he is

paying 101 and what he is leeding.



The Farm Buieau is buying Milk-

,maker ingredients in quantity at times

of low seasonal prices as determined

by records of previous years and when

in the opinion of the best posted ex-

perts the markets look right.



This feed-buying service is offered to

members on the basis that farmers and

their cooperative associations will

form local feed-buying service units

on their winter dairy feed needs and

will sign contracts to buy definite

quantities of the Farm Bureau feed for

monthly shipment from October 20 to

the following March 20.



Headquarters of feed buying service

are at the State Farm Bureau at Lan-

sing. The local i’eed buying service

campaign opened September 5 and

closes October 20.—-U. 4





 





" CONFEREES REPORT ON TARIFF

. ‘BILL.





 





HE conferees report on the tariff



finally saw daylight last Tuesday,

the completed bill as reported by the

conferees being made public in printed

form. The conl'erees in their fourteen

days of deliberation had considered ev-

eryone of the 2,400 amendments, and

had compromised nearly a quarter of

them the senate or the house receding

on the other differences. This gives a

fair idea of the magnitude of the detail

of the ta1iff bill

the conferees undertook.





Inspection of. the bill indicates that

the agricultural rates fixed by the sen-

ate prevail to a large extent. Meats,

poultry and poultry products, dairy

products, vegetables and cereals gener-

ally carry nearly if not quite the rates

written into the bill by the senate

finance committee, and those in gen-

eral are very nearly the rates agreed

upon by representatives of agricultural

organizations. One change noted was

BLOC WORKING FOR BETTER

RURAL CREDIT LAWS.

work on rural credit legislation,

and a meeting was held last Thursday

to hear Bernard M. Baruch explain his

views as to the importance of better

credit, facilities 'for farmers and the

importance of this legislation. “The

most important business before con-

gress today,” he said, “is to enact leg-

islation which. will put farmers on a

credit equality with other lines of bus-

iness. The New York financier had

been invited by Chairman Arthur Cap:

per, to give the block, especially the





special committee of the bloc appoint-i





ed to consider credit legislation, the

benefit of his views and his opinions

regarding the four pending credit bills.



Any one of the four bills, the Len-

root vill, the Simmons bill, the Nor-





" beck bill or the Capper bill would give





a substantial measure of relief, accord-

ing to Mr. Baruch. He suggested, 'how-

ever, that whatever bill was finally de-

cided on should provide for three kinds

of loans, and consequently three kinds

of debentures to provide the funds: 1,

loans for facilitating the marketing of

agricultural products in an orderly



anner and at discretion; 2, 'live stock

loans, and 3, loans for crop production

purposes. The last, he thought should





be based on the united credit of local

associations of farmers.





The committee of the farm bloc hav-

ing credit legislation especially in hand

consists of Arthur Capper, chairman;

Chalres L. McNary, W. L. Jones, E. F.

«





 





HE second series of land-clearing



schools

Michigan Agricultural College, exten-

sion division, are inactive progress in

Cheboygan and Otsego counties this

week. Thirty-two schools have been

scheduled in northeastern Michigan

involving about six weeks of work.





This Series of schools has been made

possible by the hearty ecoperation of

the county agricultural

agents, county and township farm bu-

reaus, the Northeastern -Michigan De-

velppment Bureau, the Michigan Cen-

tral and the Detroit & Mackinac Rail-

roads. The work is in charge of L. F.

Livingston, landvclearing specialist for

the college, and his assistant A. J.

(Dynamite) (McAdams. . Ten explosive

and machinery experts assembled by

the college are acting as instructors.





Each school is being conducted on





‘the’ “learn by doing” method and the





farmer-students are required to par-

ticipate actively in the work before

being granted a certificate by the col‘

lege. The purpose is to make it possi-

ble for the cut-over land farmer to be

come acquainted With the latest ap-

proved practical methods in the use of

agricultural explosives and land-clear-

ing macninery,‘ including home-made

devices. .Only practical work is under-

taken and the equipment is adaptable

to conditions found locally. Theory

does not have a plaCe in the school’s,

operation.



Paul Bunyan’s hammer is being in

troduced for the first time in the Low-

er Peninsula and this effective device

is the center of a great ,deal of interest

because of its low cost and effective

ness.



The r-present schedule involves the

territory served by the Michigan Cen-

tral Railroad in Cheboygan, Otsego,

Cra‘vvford, Ogemaw, Arenac, Gladwin,

Bay and Midland colnties. Schools

have been or will be held as follows:

Cheboygan, September 18; Wolverine,

September 19; Elmira and Mosher,

September 20-21; a ditch-blasting dem<

onstration on the Michigan State Park

at Otsego Lake, September 25; Fred-

demonstration will be held at Kawkaw~

lin, September 30, under conditions

typical to the Saginaw Valley, Glad-





win, October 3, and at Midland, 0c-





tober 4.

Calhoun county has a- three-way

Last April when the figures became

ed. “We feel that these three associ-

ations will meet our present cow-test-

ing needs, ” says Mr. Roland. “While

we are active in forming cow-testing

associations we saw an opportunity to

get a bull association unit started. We

'will use this as a nucleus and hope to

increase these associations as we get

to the work.



“The really big object of our three-

way campaign was to rid the county of

tuberculosis. There has always exist-

ed more or less antagonism among the

farmers against tuberculosis testing.

Quite a number of dairymen about Bat-

tle Creek have tested cattle and for

that service paid $10 to $25 per head.

Under the new ‘arrangements, how-

ever, the fee will be saved to the farm-

ers. ' The plan under which the county

will be cleaned 'up is about as follows:





rural townships gradually all indicated

that they favored cleaning up the coun-

ty. The fact that we have three cities

in the county‘ with a total number of

supervisors as great as the total from

the country, and the fact'that two of

these cities already enjoyed the priv-

ilege of tuberculin-tested milk and

would gain little as a result of a

necessary increase in tax to care for

an appropriation, made it appear that

it might be a. little difficult to secure

the entire support of all the supervis-

ors. However, when it was finally put

up to them and they met for the pur-

pose of considering the proposition, in-

side of one hour from the time they

first met they voted unanimously to

appropriate $9,000 for the work.



“We are now lining up men in each

formation the veterinarians will know



at all times whose herd is next to be‘

tested and will go directly there with-



out losing any time. The township



that first completes the work of sign-



ing agreements will be the first to



have its herds tested.”



The county agent summed up the

benefits of the tuberculosis campaign

to Calhoun county as follows:



1. It means that our people will all

have tuberculosis-tested milk.



2. Herd owners will have herds test-

ed free of charge instead of being

charged from $10 to $25 as under the

present plan.



3. Condemned animals will bring fed—

eral indemnity in addition to state in-

demnity and carcass salvage as is now

the case.



4. Ten cents per hundred weight on

swine and twenty-five cents per hun-





'dred weight on beef animals is now be—

weight on cattle to the farmer’s price

———a tremendous item in this county.



5. Stock buyers will seek. us out be-

cause they know they can get tubercu-

losis free stock by buying in Calhoun

county.



“When the rest of this work has pro-

gressed to the point where it will n01

“This will complete our present dairy

T_ HIS country is so' vast and there

‘are so many things of interest,

to me, at least, that it is,’diflicult

to attempt to portray them with pen

'of the outstanding points regarding the

condition of the 'crops which directly

affect our prices and interests in Mich-

igan. ~



The day after I arrived at Salt Lake

City, Mr. Maurice Keating, manage1 of

the Western Seed Growers’ -Marketing

Company, invited ,me to take an auto-

mobiletrip with him through the Uin—

tah Basin. As this is one of the two

large seed producing sections of Utah,

and as it is inland from the- railroad

one hundred miles, I was glad to ac-

cept such an opportunity.



After going ‘ovep some rough moun-

tainous roads and through a couple of

-deep canyons that pierce the Rocky'

Mountains, we reached the vicinity of

the towns of Myton, Roosevelt and Ver-

nal, Utah, which are the main towns

in this big alfalfa producing section.

Vernal is a rather unique town, for it

~ Prospects are for a much larger crop

of alfalfa seed in this section than

they had last year, when the crop was

unusually short. They will quite prob-

ably raise around two million pounds

of common alfalfa. However, they

have such an unusually large crop of





grasshoppers that this yield may be

cut seriously. \ . —



This climate certainly produces

lusty grasshoppers. They are such big

etc., mere‘ly taking sweet clover as a_

last resort as one takes hash at a;

restaurant.



This section has for four years been

a big sweet clover section. The low

pr'ices and high freight rates have just

about discouraged them, but they

would probably have ten or twelve

cars of sweet clover this year if the

hoppers would leave it alone. How-

ever, the l'armers here unanimously

say their hoppers like sweet clover in

preference to anything else and by

the looks of the plants along the road-

side they certainly make a clean job

of it when they start on even big

sweet clover plants. ,



When these hoppers get in an al-

falfa field their favorite pastime seems -





_to be cutting off alfalfa blossoms.





Many a fine field of alfalfa has been





[ruined or badly injured by this strip-





ping of the blossoms just before the





_ seed sets.





This is said to be the first year the

hoppers have been real bad in this

section, but the farmers have already





learned the advantage of supplement- . '

HE outlook for all cultivated

crops, and nearly all others, has

dropped from five to seven points





A ' . during August as a result of unusually





'light rainfall in most sections of the

. state. This is the outstanding feature

‘ of, the September report by John A.



‘Do’elle, Commissioner of Agriculture,

and Verne H. Church, Agricultural Sta

"’ tist1c1an



As deterioration is. usual in most

years during August, notwithstanding

this decline, the prospects are still up

to or above the ten-year average for

all crops except sugar beets and sorgh-

um cane for syrup, which are one and

two points, respectively, below. Fruit

of all kinds is abundantvand has ripen-

ed earlier than usual. The market is

stagnant and some fruit does not bring

enough to cover the freight charges.



Corn—In the southern and western

.counties, corn has dried up consider-

ably and late planted fields are ripen-

ing prematurely and with but few ears

onthe stalks. There are also many

poorly filled ears. In other sections.

the crop is doing very well. Cutting

for both grain and silage is general in

southern and central counties. The

present outlook forecasts a total crop

of 57.634,000 bushels as compared with



66,417,000 bushels produced last year.





Oats—Threshing is well advanced

and about completed in southern and

central sections. Yields are fairly good

and in the best districts are excellent.

The quality is also good except in some

northern counties where the crop was

more or less injured by rust. The pro-

duction is placed at 55,837,000 bushels





as against 28,101,000 bushels grown

last year, and 58,806,000 bushels in

1920. '





Spring VVheat.—The crop is good in

the main producing sections of the

Upper Peninsula and northeastern

counties. The estimated production is

564,000 bushels.



Barley—The crop of barley is esti-

mated at 5,563,000 bushels which is

nearly one and one-half millions more

than the light crop of last year. Yields

are generally satisfactory and better

than anticipated earlier in the season.



Buckwheat—The crop has suffered

considerably from heat and dry weath-

er and some of the top bloom has been

blasted. A little damage by frost is

reported and, frOm two‘to three weeks

without frost is needed to mature the

bulk of the crop. The present outlook

is for a crop of 622,000 bushels, prac-

tically the same production as recorded

for last year. '



Potatoes. —Complaints from some

sections are current that the set is de—

ficient although the tubers have attain-

ed good size to date. In other'sections

the outlook is very good. Leaf-hopper

damage is severe in a few counties in

the fields that have not received prop-

er spraying., The present condition as

shown by the reports of Crop corres-

pondents is eighty-two per cent of nor-

mal, which is equivalent to a. crop of

36, 415, 000 bushels. The acreage' is,

24, 000 greater than last year.



Hay. ——'1_‘he total production of hay,

based on the reported yield of 1.40 tons

of tame and 1.35 tons of wild .hay, per

acre, is 2,311,000 tons. The crop was





 





universally large throughout the state

and muchof it is of excellent quality;

There was some damage frOm rains in





the Upper Peninsula and the northern ‘





portion of‘the LoWer Peninsula during

the cutting season. The yield ‘of timo-





thy is 1.32 tons per acre-as 'compared'





with 0.90 last' year, and a ten-year av;

erage of 1.20.



Alfalfa—The acreage of alfalfa has

increased phenomenally during the last

few .years. It is, estimated that 348,000

acres were cut this year, producing a

crop of 818,000 .tons. ‘ The acreage re-

ported by the federal census for 1919

was 74,000. A large amount has been

seeded this year, and probably more

than a half-million acres of hay will be

out next year.

-Beans.——_—"In the central and western

counties, the early crop is fairly good,

but the late crop suffered materially

from dry weather and blight. In the

eastern producing sections, the early





_ crop has been injured considerably by





disease and dry weather, and the hopes

of growers have been transferred'to

the late crop which will yield a fairly

good crop if frost does not interfere.

Harvesting, threshing~and marketing

have commenced unusually early; The

present ‘condition of seventy-eight per

cent indicates a crop of 4, 517, 000 bush-

els on the 429, 000 acres planted this

year.



Fruits. -—The early apple crop was

large and much cf it of poor quality.

Prices are low and much fruit has not

been harvested. The late crop is of

better quality but lighter in yield. It

is estimated that the total crop is sev—

enty-two per cent, a yield of 11,775,000

bushels. The commercial portion is

appraised at 1,688,000 barrels.





The peach crop has developed well

and is of good quality and generally

the fruit is of good size. The produc-

tion is placed at 1,440,000 bushels. Last

year it was 358,000 bushels.



Grapes are moving freely from the

scuthern commercial area and the crop

is placed at 108,947 pounds. Thequal-

ity is good and the only drawback has

been the prevalence of rot in some 10-





calities.





‘The pear crop is also very satisfac-

tory, and the condition of ninety per

cent presages a production of 650,000

bushels. Plums are yielding heavily

and the demand is so light that many

will not be marketed.



Sugar Beets—The

eighty~five per cent reported last month

‘was maintained during August. The

weather has been favorable :for the

storing of sugar in the beets. There

are reports of blight and rotting in a

few sections.



Truck Crops.—-All are in satisfactory

condition in most districts and good

yields are in prospect. , The condition

of tomatoes, cabbage and onions is

ninety, eighty-nine and ninety per cent

respectively.‘

PROTECTING FARM BUYERS.





 





OW buyers of farm land and‘ac-



tual new settlers on the land may

be protected and assisted was~ the

theme of talks given to Upper Penin-

sula business men in a series of meet-

ings held throughout the district, late

in August by Mr. Ezra Levin of the

State Department of; Agriculture. Mr.

Levin stated that a plan of land cer-

tification has been formulated and will

, be presented to the legislature in the

’ hope of its adopting, which will sound

the knell of the land shark and fradu—

lent real estate operator, who has hith-

erto sold land to farmers under false

‘pretenses, doing both the farmer and

the good name of the state a great

wrong.



The plan is said to have attracted a

good deal of favorable "attention. It is

proposed that, through the agency of

the Department of Agriculture, the



_ quality of land offered for sale shall be

definitely ascertained in advance and

that it shall not be misrepresented by

the seller to the purchaser. When the

. records in the office of the county reg-

iSter of deeds showed that land, had

been sold, it would be possible, where

.r’th'eiz‘e was occasion, to follow up the



' ,saction, and this is contemplated

the new plan. The county agriculv

The cooperation of bankers is also

to be sought beyond anything yet 1eal-

ized, and the attention of Upper Pe-

ninsula bankers was called to the VVis-

consin system whereby the state as

sists in the flotation of farm loan

bonds secured by approved farm mort—

gages, for the purpose of assisting in

the financing of crop and live stock 0p-





erations and other financial require“





ments of the farmer.





The'relation of the banker to1 the





.farmer aroused discussion, and at Mar-





quette, where several bankers were

present bankers insisted that they had





already demonstrated their readiness





in all cases to afford such assistance

as their clients called for. Mr. Levin





insisted that there was a field for





greater banking cooperation with the

new settler.

Celery may be stored by drawing suf-

stand in the row to protect against

freezing, but this will require an un-

usual amount of labor. It will be best

to dig the bunches and set them in a

long trench a fact wide and half as

deep, so that the roots can come in





contact with moist earth. Pull the tops '





together and draw the earth up from

to have a box. 0r“barrel of earth in

earth to keep moist, but be careful not

to wet the. stalk and leaves. In cellar

storage it will be necessary to have

only the roots in soil. Kept in a dark

corner of the cellar, the stalks will

For bull Myer—lead .1





 





 





 

 

 

 





HE boy who prides himself on the accuracy of his

target shots credits only his steady hand and true eye.





' He gives little thought to the fact that the bullet is always





made of lead because no other material speeds so straight.

It" is the Same at .the traps. From the trap is thrown a clay

pigeon. A ’sharp report and the target flies to pieces. Shot

made of lead go straight, covering just the right area to

catch the whirling disc.





No other metal has the qualities needed for making am-

munition which lead has. Lead has great weight in minis

mum bulk, which makes it cut through the air with velocity

and without swerving.





In the early days bullets and shot were loaded separately

from the powder. Now the lead and powder are encased

together in a neat paper or metallic package called a shell

or cartridge.





It is interesting to note that lead is important in other

sports besidestarget and trap shooting, but for an entirely

different reason. Lead is used in the rubber of the tennis

ball, the football and the baSeball to give toughness.





Besides these uses, lead is used in almost countless ways.

Many of them you do not suspect. It is in paint that lead

would be missed most. N o matter where you go you can

see and touch this important product. Wherever a surface

is painted, it is protected against deterioration. “Save the

surface and you save all” is a slogan that prudent men

now know and heed.





White-lead, a carbonate of lead, is the principal ingredient

of good paint. By using white-lead, manufacturers make a

paint that has greater protective power and durability.





For outdoor work painters generally prefer to use straight

“lead-in—oil,” a term which applies to a mixture of pure

white—lead and pure linseed oil. White-lead with flatting

oil with colors—in—oil added makes a paint of any color for

interior work and gives a smooth, beautiful finish.





National Lead Company makes white-lead of the highest

quality, and sells it,’ mixed with pure linseed oil, under the





. name and trademark of 1





Dutch Boy White—Lead





It also manufactures lead for every other purpose to which

it can be put in art, industry, and everyday life.

for a free copy of our “Wonder Book of Lead,” which inter-

estingly describes the hundred-and-one ways in which lead

enters into the daily life of everyone.

' FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.





 





I am feeding my four-month-old pigs

skim-milk and middlings. Now I have

rye, oats and corn which I could grind

and feed with the middlings and milk.

Will you please give me a ration from

the above?—S. H. M.



According to the Wolff-Lehmann

feeding standards, pigs three to five

months old and weighing around 100

pounds, should have thirty-five pounds

of dry matter daily per 1,000 pounds

live weight, and the nutriti‘ve ratio

should be in the proportion of one part

protein to five parts carbohydrates and

fat. The nutritive ratio of the feeds

mentioned are approximately as fol-

lows:



Skimmilk

Middlings

Oats





Rye ....................

Corn





Skim- milk gives the most economical

returns when fed at the rate of two or

three pounds of milk to one pound of

grain. If you will feed one pound of

each of the grains mentioned and eight

pounds of skim-milk daily to each 100

pounds of pig, you will be hitting the

mark almost exactly. The rye and

oats should be ground and along with

the middlings, mixed with the milk.

The corn may be fed on the ear. The

middlings may be gradually reduced

and the corn increased as the pigs

grow.—P. P. P.

HARVESTING AND STORING SUN

FLOWER SEED.





 





We are growing a few sunflowers

this year for the seed. Can you tell me

something about what we the best

methods pIacticed in gathering and

shelling the seed?——J. L F.





Sunfloweis can be cut and shocked

like corn and left to cure out dry. If

they are only topped, that is the heads

removed, care must be taken to hang

them over poles or spread on a floor

under cover. 11’ stored in mows or

barns,.they will heat and rot.



If you only have a few, it will be no

great task to pound out the seed by

hand after they become thoroughly

dry. Larger quantities can be thresh-

ed with a grain separator by removing

the concave teeth. The heads will be

all ground to pieces and the seed sep-

arated. Provided the heads are thor-

oughly dry, it will be no harder strain

on a separator than threshing corn and

that is often done.



, The seed contain so much oil they

can not be stored in large bins. They





will heat, and must be spread out on”

a floor not over six or eight inches,





deep to keep them safely.

and hydrated, or coustic, lime is the

result. When this is slaked by com-

ing in contact with the air we have

the air-slaked or hydrated lime. When

this lime is incorporated with the soil

it changes in form again and becomes

the same as ground limestone.



A ton of lime rock'when converted

into hydrated lime only weighs approx-

imately two»thirds of a ton; hence if

your soil required 4,000 pounds of the

ground limestone it would only take

about 2,700 pounds of hydrated lime to

produce the same effect.



Hydrated lime is caustic and is mis-

erable stuff to apply. It burns the skin

where it comes in contact, etc. Ground

limestone is safe to apply under .all

circumstances. In almost every .in—

stance it is more economical to use the

ground limestone.

Hort. Dept.





OMPLETE reorganization of the



horticultural department at M. A.

C. is announced by Prof. V. ‘R. Gardner,

who recently became" its head. Besides

himself three new men have been au-

ded to the staff, making possible the

assignment of special lines of work,

such as small fruits, vegetables and

grapes, to individual experts.



Strengthening of the department

was brought about in response to a

demand from fruit growers of the state

who felt that not enough emphasis was

being laid upon research and teaching

in horticulture. Under the leadership

of Professor Gardner, the department

bids flair to take an active’ place in the

triumvirate concerned with agricultur-

al production in Michigan. The other

two are the farm crops department,

headed by Prof. J. F. Cox, and the de-

partment of daily husbandry, headed

by Prof. O. E. Reed.



Fruit specialists added to the staff

Of Professor GardnerareF. C. Brad-

ford, a graduate of Harvard and for-

merly a teacher at the University of

GOITRE.





 





A young man has a goitre coming

on his neck. Have used iodine for two

years, but it has done no good. Is

there any cure besides an operation?

Is an operation a success and is it dan<

gerous ?——J. .C.





When a goitre reaches the place

where it impairs health, seriously, a'





surgical operation is usually the best

treatment. It is not an operation of

unusual danger at the hands of an ex-

perienced operator, but there are many

large vessels and nerves in the neigh-

borhood where the work is done, so it

is 'no job for a novice-



‘ tory- results are obtained in most cases

that are well handled.





TUBERCULOSIS OF THE BONE.





\





 





Does a surgical operation do any good

in this disease?—,—J. 0.





When tuberculosis of the bone is

recognized early it is quite curablef but

you must remember that like all other

forms of tuberculosis, the treatment

must go on over a long period of

months, and possibly years. In some

cases surgery is helpful ‘in removing





. dead bone, and sometimes bone trans-





plantation is necessary.

1 How Your Choice

’ Means Loss or Gain





 





_ — _

THE life of your automobile engine depends to an extraordi-





 





nary extent upon your «choice of lubricating oil. Upon how

you choose depends whether you lose or gain:





power



economy (in repairs and operation)



saving in fuel

If you needed expert legal advice, and at the same price could

choose between the most famous jurist in the United States and

an untrained, untried advocate, which would you take? Identical

reasoning applies to the choice of a lubricating oil for your car.

Hundreds of untested lubricants beg for your attention. For the

same or less money you may have the knowledge, experience, and

expert attention of the staff of lubricating engineers of the





a» Standard Oil Company (Indiana).





. Egg Oolarine





 





THE PERFECT MOTOR OIL





Made in Four Grades





Seals Pistons Against Loss of Power





The grade indicated in the chart to the left as correct for your car has been

created especially to meet the working temperature of the bearing surfaces

of your particular engine. It has been evolved with reference to the clear-

ance between‘those particular surfaces to the speed at which the bearing

surfaces move, and to the weight of the moving body.





The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) leads the world in its research into

the v1tall important question of petroleum lubrication. Correct lubrication

means li e—vastly increased life to all machinery. A great laboratory for

an roved lubrication is one of the important contributions of the Standard

01 Company (Indiana) to this industrial era in which we live.

Life Partners .





 





 

 





HE union of Nature, Science and. the





Farmer is a partnership for life.





In the golden sheaves of living wheat, and

in the waving, shimmering fields of barley,

Nature stores the vital elements of human

power and energy which Science converts

into Grape-Nuts—the famous body-building





food.





Grape-Nuts with milk or cream is a com.

plete food, which contains all the nutrition

(including the mineral elements) required for

making rich, red blood, and for building sturdy

body tissue, sound bone structure and strong,

healthy nerve cells.





The 20-hour baking process makes Grape-

Nuts easy to digest and develops that deli-

cious, sweet flavor and crispness that has

made this food a favorite the world over.

_ WONDER did anybody miss these

notes last week? I know'one party

that missed, them, and he is laying



the blame on the . county fair.‘ We



found every minute occupied in get—





sleep until after the judging. But nev-

er mind, we got all the money within

reach except on second prize, (don’t

ask about the “competition),‘but ggt

trimmed for sweepstakes. 'Rotten de'al

wasn’t it? What did you say

when the judge

gave "the other

fellow the prize

that you were

sure belonged to

you? That’s what

I said. The judge

would learn some-

thing if he would

listen to us now,

wouldn’t he?



Have you heard

a man boast about

his winnings when he had had no com—

petition? It is easy to win when one

can’t help it. I knew a manlonce who

advertised his winnings for a whole

year after the show when his was the

only herd on exhibition. Did I patron-

ize him? Hardly, not then, nor since.

Prizes won in hot competition are val-

uable and worthy of consideration.

Those won without competition are

worth just what the premium list calls

for, and no more.



But the county fair is past and gone

for another year. We have made a

record in the live stock department as

regards variety and quality of exhibits.

We also broke the record for heaviest

rainfall and lightest attendance. I am

thinking the fair association is about~

as near broke as the rest of us. There

is sunshine behind the clouds as‘s-urely

as there is rain in them, however, so

we are waiting for next year to show

up fair weather, big crowds and lots

of money. . .. '



The work onfiie farm has stood

stock still all the ‘week, whilethe hired

man, a couple of extra helpers and my-

self have “taken in” the fair. In the

meantime the beans have come to full

maturity and the husks 3h many of the

ears hang dry“ It has suffered some

from the drouth, but has not dried up

like many fields farther south in the

state; and is ripening normally. The

alfalfa sod, the manure, and the phos—

phate are united to shove it along

rapidly and it is maturing evenly and

in good season. There will be a good

crop. When most all of the ears are

dented and the leaves at the base of

the stalks turn brown, then we start

the binder as soon as possible. That

time is about here, but the beans de-

mand attention first. Just as soon as

the ground is dry enough after the

heavy rains of the last few days, the

puller will start, with knives sharp.

we use the side deliverey rake in roll-

ing them into clean winfirows out of

the dirt. If the rest of the work has

been properly done this tool will do the

work of six or eight men»with forks,

and do it just as ’good.

hard on the ”rake, however, as the fine

particles of sand and grit are carried

up by the wheels‘and get into the gears

and bearings to some extent. -Also, if

the previous work has not been Well

done,‘ and the rows are either too

crooked, too weedy, or the. plantsnot

ends without putting either the horses

or the wheels on the beans. I like to

drill six rows abross the ends and ' pull

them first, for this reason. The rake

itself will not shell the beans, but if

the horses step on them or the wheels

over-run them they will burst the pods

and spill the beans. Where weather is





favorable and the machine can be .se- ,





cured atthe right time, it is a labor

saver as well as cleaner job to thresh

the crop directly from the field. It

saves handling time, expense, and

beans. It is doubtful, however, if it is

wise to risk too much weather on a

crop so easily damaged as beans, after

they are once ready to go into the

barn.





THE MICHIGAN POTATO EXHIB‘T.





 





HE potato section of the Michigan



State Apple and Potato Show,

which will be held in Grand Rapids,

December 58, offers the potato grow—

ers some very good inducements in the

way of prizes to show their products.



There will be twenty prizes ranging

from $5.00 to $25 for the varieties of

the Rural Russet type. Prizes are also

offered for varieties of the \Vhite Rur-

al type up to $10 for the Green Moun-

tain varieties they go as high as $15.

These prizes are offered for individual

exhibits of thirty~two specimens each.



Individual exhibits in the classes of

early varieties of the Irish Cobbler and

Early Ohio types will compete for

prizes ranging from $1.00 up to $10.

The class which includes any other

variety of merit, offers $8.00 as thj

highest prize. There is also a prize

of $35 for the best pack of any variety

in the individual exhibit classes.



For county exhibits of twelve sam-

ples of thirty-two potatoes each there

are ten prizes, with $50 as the high

prize. The Michigan Potato Produc-

ers’ Association offers $25 for the best

one-hundred—pound sack of certified

seed potatoes, and nine other prizes

ranging down to $5.00. There will also

be a chance for certified potato grow-

ers to exhibit samples of their prod

uct for sale.



The Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex-

change offers a $25 first prize for the

best 150-pound sack of Chief Petoskey

Brand potatoes. They offer also three

other prizes of. $20, $15 and $5.00 re-

spectively.



The boys’ and girls’ club which

makes the best exhibit of ten one-peck

samples, shown by five members, will

get $25. Second, third and founth priz-

es of $12, $8.00 and $5.00 respectively,

will also be given. In individual ex-

hibits of each of the types mentioned





above, the boys’ and girls’ prizes will





be $5.00, $3.00 and $2.00. The Michi—

gan Potato Growers’ Exchange will

give to the individual boy or girl win-

her a silver cup, in case there are at

least twenty exhibits made. ‘



Early potatoes should be sent to the

Apple and Potato Show in care of the

Kent Storage Company, Grand Rapids,

Michigan. The package should have

the name of the sender and the varie-

ties contained therein marked on the

outside. _ » .,. .



Boys and girls who enter the club

contests will be required to send a.

story and records of management to

Mr. R. A. Tu‘rner, State Club Leader

_ ii Red TRock and Winter 1





I Michigan farmers. I, ’cently an inquir-





" h it folks would see," quote “Rube”





 





Banner Wheats





’ _ 1TH over ten years of field ,expe- '





,rience to back it, Red Rock

wheat has become ,entrenched

more firmly than ev ”in the esteem of





er came to the Michigan Crop" Im-

provement Association oflice believing

that Red Rock was running out. He

had seen some: wheat of this variety

grown under rather adverse conditions

and it was giving growers in that local-

ity the impression that Red Rock was

losing its inherent hardness, ‘goqd- mill-

ing quality and yielding ability.



One look at.\a sample of this variety

which had been sent in by C. D. Fink-

beiner, of" Clinton, however, was suffi-

cient to dispel that illusion. l “Why,

that wheat is better than ever,” was

this inquirer’s remark. A look at the

wheat of Finkbeiner, of J. W. Veiten-

giuber,.of Frankenmuth, or of many

others still finds its quality outstand-

ing while its productivity for these

growers has been of the highest order.

Red Rock, grown where soil conditions

are suitable still has few equals. It

was last year tha't a Tuscola county

grower secured a yield of fifty-four

bushels per acre on a ten-acre field and

practically all such record yields made

in Michigan in recent years must be

credited to this pedigreed variety. In

tests on the Michigan Experiment Sta-

tion farm at East Lansing it has al-

ways been a leader. This year its mar-

gin of superiority was equal ,to the best

of its accomplishments in the past. On

the-clay loams, the more fertile sandy

loams, and the silt-like soils Red Rock

wheat is in its element. A splendidly

erect straw leaves it standing when

weakenstemméd varieties are beaten

down, while its large head and its

plump kernels give it yielding ability

that has made it the friend of the

wheat grower, appearance that has

made it the pride of the grain shows,

and quality that has made it the boon

of the miller eVer since it has been

widely grown.



This same gluten hardness, however,

makes it inadvisable to grow Red Rock

on the very. light soils, particularly

where they are very low in nitrogen or

organic matter. On such soils and on

the more poorly; rained heavier soils

a softer type of r d or white wheat will

be more satisfactory.



Of this type of wheat the American

Banner variety has been a consistent

leader. Field trials for several years,

backed by farm experience, has shown

that American, Banner must be placed

to the front in the white wheat class.



In Red Rock and American Banner

Michigan has two varieties adapted to

the widest range of her conditions.

Their yielding ability, combined with

the fact that pure seed of high quality

is being produced and distributed each

year by members of the Michigan Cr0p

improvement Association makes these

varieties most dependable

CAMPAIGN.





 





THINK farm papers are making a

sad mistake by not telling the farm-





er to pay more attention to his forest.





In the near'future we are going to be

crying for weed. Scai‘cely nothing is

being done to meet the situation. We

farmers are the biggest users of lum-

ber. Can’t we start some campaign

that will. help the situation?—A. D.

Anderson, Clinton County.





camcuzes INTERSTATE COM-

. MERCE COMMISSION.





 





HY should Michigan congress-



_ men and senators give support



to the Interstate Commerce‘Commis-



s‘i/on when that institution has foisted



upon this state the zoning system of



rates which. gives the western farmers



every advantage over the Michigan

farmer?



It seems to me that we voters ought

in some way'to impress our represent-

atives with this situation and insist

that they do something to relieve us

and at least give us a fair. chance to

sell our products to cities within our

own state. At the present time we

are obliged to hold our produce while

the outside fellow comes in,and under-

sells us because railroad rates are un—

justly fixed in his favor.—John Dilling,

Wexford County. '





THE COOPERATIVE CONTRACT.

WHOLE lot of us farmers feel that

it wOuld be a very fine thing to



make iron-clad contracts with our co-

operative organizations to sell our en-

tire crop output. But while we may be

willing to chance\ our present man-

ager who knows that he may be hand-

ling the business next month or next

year. If cooperative business were on

a thoroughly established basis then the

man who is directing the sales would

not be so much of a factor to consider.

But now he is that, and a great deal

of nerve is required to enter into these

iron-clad contract arrangements. I

think we shall have to go along as best

we can till the system is standardized,

then with the necessary confidence we

can throw all our eggs in one basket

and take our chance.;R. S. Blake,

Lenawee County.





 





COOPERATION THE DEMOCRACY

‘ OF BUSINESS.





 





OOPERATION has but one limita-



tion, namely: ignorance of the

principle of cooperation by the mem~

bers of a community. In other woxds,

when one hundred per cent of the.

members of a community thoroughly

understand the principle of 'coopera-

tion, then one hundred per cent of the

business of that community will be co-

operative business.



Cooperation is a business of the peo-

ple, because it is the people who profit

by its operations, it is a business for

the people, because it is conducted to

do the greatest good to the greatest

number it is a business by the maple,

because the people control and manage

its affairs. A business which is “of the

people, for the people, and by the peo-

ple” can justly be called a democratic

business. ’



Democracy in business, as. in the





_ government, must be based upOn and





conducted in accordance with the prin-

ciple of democracy. When individuals





. becomewilling to sacrifice their own





selfish interests for the good of 'the

mama than a democratic form of gov-

The same





 





principle is involved and selfish inter-

ests must be sacrificed for the good of

mankind if our business system is to

became democratic and the

rule become the basis of business.



Our busines%ystem is the out-

growth of cure cational system. We

think along competitive lines because

we have been taughtto think along

those lines. Competitive business is

firmly intrenched in its pride of power

and, like all autocratic institutions, ’will

yield to democratic control only when

compelled to do so by the spirit of

democracy manifesting itself through

the majority of the people concerned.

How is the principle of democr’acy to

accomplish this? It must .be through

the prOcess of education—cooperation

education.

through which cooperation may be

taught effectively, namely: the press

and local organizations. Cooperation

and organization are like the Siamese

twins in one respect—they grow to«

gether. If we want cooperation we

must have organization as a basis for

our cooperative educational system.

Then some system should be developed

whereby our local newspapers can be

utilized to teach the democratic princi-

ple of cooperative business—Eugene

Bradley, Calhoun County.





“SEE THE PRETTY BUNNY.”





 





OT long ago an article by L. E.

Eubanks appeared, entitled, “Do

Rabbits Injure Trees?”



He speaks of two western states ca’r-

rying 011103. campaign of extermination

against Bunny, because of misinfon

mation.



There is surely misinformation in

Mr. Eubank’s letter, as in Michigan

alone there is much damage caused to

young fruit trees, (and older ones as

well), by rabbits, as can be testified to

by any number of farmers.



We wish M1. Eubanks would give

the name and address of that nursery

man who says that free girdling is

done entirely by field mice.





Mr. Eubanks also speaks of a stiff-

necked rabbit (the varying hare of the

north), at least we presume it is stiff-

necked as he says it cannot feed with

its neck in a twisted position and

therefore cannot " ,e a tree. Is it

necessary for Bunny to twist his neck

to eat round a tree’ trunk?





We also do not deny that porcupines

eat bark from the cottonwoods of the

bad lands, and also from our own pop-

lars, and we would never accuse

our Michigan rabbit of climbing trees.



At the time Mr. Eubanks’ article ap-

peared the writer was spending an\M<

ber of very difficult hours in a young

orchard where rabbits had completely

girdled a. large number of very fine

young trees. (Their tracks were plain-

ly discernible, also the rabbits them-

selves). By the way, can L. E. Eu-

banks describe rabbit tracks and those

of field mice so that a mere farmer or

orchardist will not mistake the one

for the other? We succeeded in sav-

ing some of the trees but not all.



We have seen rabbits gnawing bark

off the limbs of fruit trees when the

snow is deep and they keep on till the

snow is melted and the tree girdled

from as high as four feet. clear of the

ground. Tame rabbits will do this, too,

and people who value their fruit trees

as well as their pets, will keep the lat-

ter “confined and provide” food for them.



We are fond of rabbits in their place,

which-is not in the orchard or garden,





and to others who like rabbits would

say. this, “Do not let your pets become

a pest."—é-A. M. mason. - 1- ,

INTEREST IN BEETLE WHICH

ATTACKS CORN.





 





 





MANY persons have been making

inquiiy about a beetle which Pro-





and comments upon in the following'

letter toi the editm:



We we constantly getting a thick,

heavy-set yellowish- -brown beetle which

flies with a dioning sound, something

like a bumble—bee and which bores into

ears of green corn, field corn, into rip-

ening. peaches, pears, apples and other

soft fruits.



The beetle is thick-set and heavy and

eats its way eventually clear into the

corn or fruit, finally‘disappearing in

the tunnel thus produced. '



I am writing this, not in order to

suggest a remedy, because there seems

to be no way of controlling the pest.

Years ago when we used to dry corn

in racks in the sun the beetl \was in

the habit of attacking this dryi g corn

and we had to spread mosquito netting

over the lacks in order to keep them

away. Today no one has discovered

any better way of controlling them.



The immature stages of “this crea-

ture are passed under ground as white

grubs, although not the common white

gr-ub but a smaller one. Fortunately

for us they appear only at intervals of





the favorite year.



I am sorry not to be able to suggest

some good remedy but am writing this

for the general information of the peo—

ple, since there seems to be a good bit

of interest in the matter and the fact

that specimens are being sent in by

every mail shows that some, at least,

are not. acquainted with the creature.





 





BUTTER PROFITS.





 





NVESTIGATIONS made in the Web-



stero'County, Missouri, Cow-testing

Association, show that cows which av-

eraged only one hundred pounds of

butter-fat per year produced that

amount at a feed cost of 25.6 cents

per pound. This cost gradually de-

creased as the production per cow in—

creased. Cows whicli averaged 200

pounds of fat per year produced it at

an average cost of 16.1 cent, while

those which produced 300 pounds did

it at a cost of 12.8 cents per pound.

While those which produced 400

pounds did. it atwthe low average feed

cost of 11 cents. ’



The profit per cow above feed cost

varied from $18.27 in the case of the

low-producing cow, to.$.115.10 for the

cows in the 400~pound class. The av-

erage productionyof the Missouri cow

is about 100 pounds ‘of butter-fat per

year, so most of the cows of that state

are charging their owners tWenty7flve

cents for every pound of butter-fat

they produce. These averages are 1111-“

doubtedly very close to‘those in Mich-

ig'an, and therefore the conclusionssone

must reach in the study of these 11g-

j 'fRadio ‘ Department





Conducted by Stuart Seelqy





 





‘





T has probably been your experience



that the first question you are asked

when you let someone listen to your

radio set is, “What is it that makes it

whistle so?”



Usually you explain it by saying the

set is not properly tuned, or by telling

them that it is the “carrier wave” of





But do you know the real reasonfor

that disagreeable whistling noise when

the set is not properly tuned and that

even persists sometimes when the set

is in tune? It is quite easily explain-

ed- and it‘ you know the real reason for

it, you may be able to overcome it

more easily and give some sort ot' a

definite explanation as to why it is

- there,



If a broadcasting station is properly

tuned to 360 meters it will emit 833,333

.complete waves per second. Then, sup-

pose for instance, you are tuning your

set and you strike 361 meters. Now,

your set will send out 831,025 waves

per second, or 2,308 less than the

broadcasting station. This means that

2,308 times per second the two waves

will be “in phase” and reinforce each

other and the same number of times

they will be “out of phase” and count-

eract each other. Therefore, 2,308

times per second an impulse will be

sent through the ’phones and the re-

sult is a shrill high whistle. Then, as

you tune lower the number of waves

your receiving set is setting up in one

second increases and comes closer to

being the same as the broadcasting

station. When your receiving set is

adjusted to 3601.4 meters it will emit

832,756 waves per second, or 577 less

than the transmitting station and the

whistle will be about the same note as





upper C on the piano. It’ you tune low-.





er still the whistle goes lower and

fades out and the set is then in tune.

If you go beyond and tune down to

359% meters the receiving set will be

oscillating at a rate of 577 faster than

the transmitter and the whistle starts

again, this time going up the scale as

you tune lower.



The fact that some receiving sets act

as transmitters has been noted here

before. If two receiving sets of the

generative type are located within one

thousand feet of each other and they

both try to listen to the same concert

quite a bit of disturbance will result.

If one is not tuned exactly the same

as the other a “beat” whistle will re-

sult and cause quite a bit of interfen

ence. It is especially bothersome to





be all set and then have some nearby '





receiving set start to tune it. A shrill

little whistle runs up and down the

scale {and causes all kinds of discords

.With the music of the concert.



It is also possible for a “beat” whis-

tle to be set up between two transmit-

ting station that are tuned slightly dif-

ferent. Even though they may be four

or five hundred miles apart, if one can

beheard about equally as loud as the

other at the receiving station and they

operate at the same time on slightly

different wave lengths, they will cause

a whistle in the ’phones. This type of

interference cannot be tuned out and

it will be easily recognized and distin-

guished from the other whistles by

reason of the fact that it is a perfectly

pure, steady tone that cannot be varx

ied, either up or down the scale, at the

‘ receiving station. On clear nights

when several stations are operating at

the same time it is usually possible to

. distinguish three or four such whistles

What Has Happened So Far:





After the death of Thornton Fair-

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 Fai1 child 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. Fair-

child receives an anonymous letter

containing a bid of $50, 000 for the Blue

Poppy mine.





It brought Fairchild to the realizaJ





tion of a new development, and he

brought out the letter,.once more to

stare at it.



“Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of

money," came at last.,“It would pretty

near pay us for coming out here,

Harry."



“That it would.”



“And what then?” Mother Howard,

still looking through uncolored glass-

es, took the letter and scanned it.

"You two ain’t quitters, are you?”



“ ’00, us ?” Harry bristled.



“Yes, you. If you are, get your-

selves a piece of paper and write to

Denver and take the offer. If you

ain’t—keep on fighting.”



“I believe you’re right, Mother How-

ard.” Fairchild had reached for the

letter again and was staring at it as

though for inspiration. “That amount

of money seems to be a great deal.

Still,'if a person will offer that much

for a mine when there’s nothing in

sight to show its value, it ought to

mean that there’s something dark in

the woodpile and that the thing’s

worth‘ fighting out. And personally

speaking, I’m willing to fight!”



“I never quit in my life!” Harry

straightened in his chair and his mus-

tache‘ stuck forth pugnaciously. Moth-

er Howard 1ooked down at him, press-

ed her lips, then smiled.



“No,” she announced, "except to run

away like a whipped pup after you’d

“Mother ’Oward, I’ll—'7'”



But the laughing, gray-haired woman

had scrambled through the doorway

and slammed the door behind her, only

to open it a second later and poke her

head within. ‘ ,



“Needn’t think because you can hold

up a dance hall and get away with it,

you can use cave-man stuff on me!”

she admonished. And in that one sent-

ence was all the conversation neces-





'sary regarding the charges against





Harry, as far as Mother Howard was

concerned. .She didn’tbelieve them,

and Harry’s face showed that the

world had become bright and serene

again. He swung his great arms as

It was the beginning of a long task;

well enough they knew that far below

there would be much more of this to

do, many days of back-breaking labor





in which they must be the main par-





ticipants, before they ever could hope

to begin their real efio1ts in search of

ore



And so, while the iron-colored water

gushed from the pump tubes, Harry

and Fairfield made their trips, scram-

bling ones as they went outward,

struggling ones 5’s they came back,

dragging the “stulls” or heavy timbers

which would form the main supports,

Auto Campin" —By L. W. Snell





Honk yer horn an’ giv her gas,

' Everybody’s ready.



Bundles packed and family, too,



. Ma to little Eddie.





Yell good-bye and out we go

Through ,the gate a streakin'

Up the road, a wavln' at

Folks at‘ windows peekin'.





Old September’s just the month,

With it’s air so bracing,



Fer an auto campin’ trip

So we go arracin.





Where the friendly road ahead,

Lined with plumes so golden

Lures us on adventuring

Like in times o’olden.





Down the shaded river road,

Crossing rattling bIfidges,



Swoopin' up a gentle slope,

Topling over ridges.





Where we see ahead of Us

Views we’ll long remember,

World all decked out blue and gold

Smilin' at September.





 





 





though to loosen the big muscles of his

shoulders. He pecked at his mustache.

Then he turned to Fairchild.



“Well,” he asked, “what do we do?

Go up to the mine—just like nothing

’ad ever ’appened?”



“Exactly. Wait until I change my

clothes. Then we’ll be ready to start.

I’m not even going to dignify this let-

ter by replying to it. And for one

principal reason—” he added—“that I

think the Rodaines have something to

do with it.”





“ ’Ow so?” _ -

“I don’t know. It’s only a conjec—

turee; I guess the..connection comes





from the fact that Squint put a good

valuation on the mine this morning in

court. And if it is any of his doings—

then the best thing in the world is to

forget it. I'll be ready in a moment.”



An hour later they entered the

mouth of the Blue Poppy tunnel, 'once

more to start the engines and to re-

sume the pumping, meanwhile strug-

gling back and forth with timbers from

the mountain side, as they began the





broken, well-seasoned timber of the

mountain side, all necessary for the

work which was before them. The tim-

bering of a mine is not an easy task.

One by one the heavy props must be

put into place, each to its station, ev-





,ery one in a position which will furnish





the greatest resistance against the tre-

mendous weight from above, the con-

stant inclination of the earth to sink

and fill the man-made excavations.

For the earth is. a jealous thing; its

own caverns it makes and preserves

judiciously. Those made by the hand

of humanity call forth the resistance

of gravity and of disintegration, and it

takes measures. of strength and power

'to' combat them. That day, Harry and

Fairchild worked With all their

strength at the beginning of a stint

that would last—~they did not, could

not know how long. And they worked

together. Their plan of a day and

night shift had been abandoned; the

trouble engendered by their first at-





tempt had been enough to shelve that.





sort of program.

Hour after hour they toiled, until

the gray mists hung low Over the

mountain tops, until the ,shadows

lengthened and twilight fell. The.en-

gines ceased their chugging, the cough—

ing swirl of the dirty Water. as it came

from the drift, far below, stopped.

Slowly two weary'men jogged down

the rutty road ,to the narrow, winding





highway which led through Kentucky





Gulch and into town. But they'were

happy with a new. fealization: that

they were actively at work, that some-

thing‘had been accomplished by .their

labors, and progressmade in spite of

the machinations of malignant men, in

spite of the malicious influences of the

past and of the‘present, and in spite

of the powers of Nature. ~ -



It was a new, agrateful life to Fair-

child. It gave him‘something else to

think about than the ponderings upon





,the mysterious events which seemed

to whirl, like a maelstrom, about him.





And more, it gave him little time to

think at all, for that night he did not

lie awake to stare about him in the

darkness. Muscles were, aching in

spite of theirinherent strength. His

head pounded from the pressure of in

tensified heart action. His eyes closed

wearily, yet with a wholesome fatigue.

Nor did' he wake until Harry was

pounding on the door in the dawn of

the morning.



Their meal came before the dining

room was regularly Open, Mother How-

ard herself flipping the flapjacks and

fryingthe eggs which formed their

breakfast, meanwhile finding the time

to pack their lunch baskets. Then out

into the crisp air of morning they went

and back to their labors.



Once more the pumps; once more

the struggle against the heavy tim-

bers; once more the “clunk” of the axe

as it hit deep into wood, or the pound-

ing of hammers as great spikes were

driven into place. Late that afternoon

they turned to a new duty—that of

mucking away the dirt and rotted logs

from a place that once had been im-

passable. The timbering of the brok«

en-down portion of the/ tunnel' just be-_

hind the shaft had‘been repaired, and

Harry flipped the sweat away from his

broad forehead with an action of relief.



“Not that it does us any particular

good,” he announced “There ain’t

nothing back there that we can get at.

But it’s room we’ll need when we start

workng down below, and we might as

He ceased suddenly and ran to the

pumps. A peculia1 gurgling/sound had

come from the ends of the hose, and

the" flow depreciated greatly. instead

of the steady gush of water, a slimy

It’s easy to keep

this kitchen floor spotless—





0 small part of the charm of this cheerful kitchen is



the attractive floor of Gold-Seal Congoleum. This



floor-covering possesses the same long-wearing, flat-lying



qualities that have made our Gold-Seal Art-Rugs so pop-

ular with the women of America.





Liquids and grease cannot penetrate the smooth, firm

surface——a light going over with a damp mop makes it

spotless in a twinkling. The basic material is a selected

grade of felt which is unaffected by water. Thus it does

not rot and crumble away along the seams and edges.





Many people seem surprised to learn that Gold-Seal Con-

goleum needs no fastening to the floor. No cementing, no

nails, tacks or hammer. It “hugs” the floor tight with

never a curled-up edge or turned-up corner.





Gold-Seal Congoleum offers the one solution to the national

demand for beautiful, sanitary floors that are low in cost

and easy to clean. Its low price and long wearing qualities





make it particularly practical wherever the entire floor

must be covered. -





Gold-Seal Congoleum By—the-Yard costs only 75c a square

yard, in either the 2—yard or 3-yard Widths.





Owing to high freight rater, price wart 0f the Miniuippi and Canada i5 rlig/ztly higher.

Wildly Harry waved a





 





“Shut ’em off!" he yelled to Fair‘

child in the dimness of\the tunnel.

“It’s sucking the. muck out of the

sump!”



“Out of the what?” Fairchild' had

killed the engines and run forward to

where Harry, one big hand behind the

carbide flare, was peering down the





shaft},

“The sump—~it’s a little ’ole at the





bottom of the shaft to ’old any water





that ’appens to seep in. That means

the ’ole drift isunwatered.”



“Then the pumping job’s over?”



“Yeh.” Harry rose. “You stay ’ere

and dismantle the pumps, so we can

send "em back. I’ll go to town. We’ve

got to buy some stuff.”



Then he started off down the trail,

while Fairchild went to his work. And

he sang as he dragged at the heavy

hose, pulling it out of the shaft and

coiling it at the enhance to the tunnel,

as he put the ,skids under the engines

and moved them, inch by inch, to the

outer air. Work was before him, work

vhich was progressing toward a goal

that he had determined to seek, in

spite of all obstacles. The mysterious

offer which he had received gave evi-

dence that something awaited him,

that someone knew the real value of

the Blue Poppy mine, and that if he

could simply stick to his task, if he

could hold to the unwavering purpose

to win in spite of all the blocking pit-





'falls that. were put in his path, some





day, some time, the reward would be

worth its price.



More, the conversation with Mother

Howard on the previous morning had

been comforting; it had given a wom-

an’s viewpoint upon another woman's

actions. And. Fairchild intuitively be-

lieved she was correct. True, she had

talked of others who might have hopes

in regard to Anita Richmond; in fact,

Fairchild had met one of those persons

in the lawyer, Randolph Farrell. But

just the same it all was cheering. It

is man’s supreme privilege to hope.



And so Fairchild was happy and

somewhat at ease for the first time in

weeks.’ Out at the edge of the mine,

as he made his trips, he stopped now

and then to look at something he had

disregarded previouslye-the valley

stretching out beneath him, the three

hummocks of the far—away range, nam-

ed, Father, Motherand Child by some

romantic mountaineer; the blue-gray

of the hills as they stretched on, farth-

er and farther into the distance, grad-

ually whitening until they resolved

themselves into the snowy range, with

the gaunt, high peaked summit of

Mount Evans scratching the sky in the

distance.



There was a shimmer in the air,

through which the trees Were turned

into a bluer green, and the crags of

the mountains made Softer, the gaping

scare of prospect holes less lonely and

less mournt'ul with their ever- present

story of lost hopes. On a great boul-

der far at one side a chipmunk chat-

tered. Far down the road an ore train

clattered, along on the way to the

tution which is a part of every mining

sang louder than‘even, a wordless

‘ . OOKING back" is a healthful

thing to do, once in a while. It





miles and see‘how far you have trav‘

elled. Sometimes the distance will

surprise you. This review lesson is a.

glorious retrospect. There on the hor-

izon stand Zerubbabel the pathfinder,

Ezra the idealist, Nehemiah the build-

er, Isaiah the prophet-reformer, Daniel

the dependable, Naggai and Ze’ch'ar-

iah agitators for God, and Malachi the

seer. A splendid company, all of them

the product of a small nation, within

about three hundred years: No other

people prod-need the religious leaders

that Israel did. There is Something

very remarkable about it. '

The other day I heard a man speak





' who recently returned from, Europe.

" While there he





had an interview

with Lord Robert

\Cecil, who is

prominent in Brit-

ish politics. He

asked Lord Cecil

if it were true

that Lloyd George

had lost some of

the moral earnest-

ness of former

years, and now

seemed to be con-

cerned largely with the problem of

keeping himself in office. Lord Cecil

replied in the affirmative, but said that

the prime minister retained his place

because there was no one in Great

Britain better qualified for the post.

The American laughed, but the "Eng-

lishman cuthim short, saying,.“0, you

need’nt laugh, you Americans have’nt

any one as good.” Great political lead:

ers are necessary, and great religious

leaders are as the bread for our ta-

bles. 'They are indispensable.





 





UCH is said about ancient Greece.

. It is Greece this and Greece that.

But Greece was a very small country,

tiny compared to important modern

nations. Yet Greece produced more

great men in a given period than any

other nation known. Sir Francis Gal-

ton, the eminent scientist, states it as

his opinion that theaverage ability of

the Greeks wasas much above that of





day, as the latter is above the African

negro. It is not the size alone that

constitutes a great people. Two farms

lie side by side. One consists of half

a. section, the other of eighty acres.

The big farm is only half cared for.

The owner is always looking for a, buy-

er, but never finds one. Crops are not

rotated, the orchard is not sprayed and

pruned, thé owner has never developed

that requisite for success,pride in his

profession. The eighty-acre man is dif-

ferent. His farm is'. not the largest in

thetoWnship, but it is one of the best.

It is all cultivated to the highest de~

gree. For some products he has be-

come famous. People come from a dis-

tance to see his farm, and to “see how

he does it.” Quality counts. These

men of Bible times had quality. That

is why we are still studying about

them. '



The past few months have been de-

voted to the exile and the return of

the Hebrew peeple. When the exile





“took place it seemed as though the





nation had been annihilatedj Every-

thing was gone. Yet—not everything.

Some things remained. Out, of the

loneliness, the suffering, the "poverty,





derful flowers-grew and‘bloomed. Cne

of these flowers was the idea of. God.

; the God of the universe. National

boundaries do not hold Him back,”

"There is neither Greek nor barbarian,

Scythian, bond nor free.” But it took

the Exile to teach this. And they be-

gan to gerthe _ Scriptures together?

Hitherto they had depended on living





men, prophets and score, to guide-





them. _But now in addition there was

a. written record. \ And it required the





Exile to do this. .Was it not worth ‘





doing?





THIS brings us to the whole'subject '





of suffering and the part it plays

in the education of the human soul.

God had not brought the“ conquerors





down to deport these Hebrews, and to.





lay waste their homes. .But He had

allowed it to be done, because the peo-

ple had brought it on themselves

through disobedience. But God was

not content to letwit rest there. 'Out

of this suffering He caused new truths

to arise, and a new light to shine. They

became 'a people with a. differentcut-

look. In a sense they were a new

people.





Suffering does that for many a. man.

Looking back, we see thousands who

have suffered for their beliefs. Look

at the Pilgrim Fathers and the Purl-

tans, to take a familiar illustration. It

must have been very hard .for sOme of

those refined women-to leave the an-

cestral home and go to a land of which

they knew little, and where exposure

and distress awaited many of them.

But wait. What has been the result?

Do not thousands of Americans boast

their New England blood? Have not

many of the finest fruits of AmeriCan

life sprung from New England tradi-

tions? Just so. They suffered, but it

was not in vain.





I N one’s personal life it is 'not differ-



ent. Suffering is ofttimes the anvil

on which character is hammered out.

You couldn’t have a hero unless he

had been one who had suffered some-

thing. Washington, Lincoln, Nathan

Hale, and-all the rest, are revered by

us today because they walked through

the furnace—and came out purified

and strengthenedby the ordeal. Says

Herodotus: “It is a law of nature that

faint-hearted men should be the fruit

of luxurious countries, as we never

find the same soil producing bothdeli—

oacles and heroes.” President King

puts it: ‘zAnd Jonathan Brierly, the





famous English'essayist comes at us.





with this outburst: “Thereal cure of

souls rests finally with ourselves, and

nature, so far as-we can see, has put





us here mainly for that business._ Her .





seeming indifference to. our outward

fortunes and sufferings, and the deaths

she inflicts; her permission of every

kind of disaster,.of misfortune, surely

point mainly to this. We are knocked,

battered, bruised, into something

greater than we are.” And Brierly him-

self was a. living example of what he

preached. For years he never had, a

well day. He never knew when his

nerves would take‘esudde‘n turn and

'put him to bed for two weeks. Yet he

was the most cheerful of persons, and

said that 'no one had a. right to be

gloomy " or .unhappy because of ill

health; 'He had been hammered hard,

but it‘had healed his spirit, not hurt

-it. ,“Endure hardness; as good soldiers

wof Jesus C’hrist,”,says Paul. ' ‘

, “What the dickens was she doing?"

he asked himself at last. “And why

should she have wanted so terribly_to

get away from that sheriff?” '

There was no answer. Besides, he

had promised to ask for none. And

further, a shout from the road accom-

panied by the roaring of a motor truck,

announced the fact that Harry was

making his return.

Five men were with him, to help him

' carry in ropes, heavy pulleys, weights

‘ and a large metal shaft bucket, then

to move out'the smaller of the pumps

and trundle away with them, leaving

, the larger one and the larger engine

for a single load. At last Harry tum-

ed to his paraphernalia and rolled up

his sleeves.

“’Ere’s where we work!” he an-

nounced. “It’s us for a pulley and

‘ bucket arrangement until we can get

the 'oist to wo1king and the skip to

running. ’Elp me ’eave a few timbers.”





It was the beginning of a’ three-days’.





job, the building of a heavy staging

over the top of the shaft, the affixing

of the great pulley and then the attach-

'ment of the bucket at one end, and the

skip, loaded with pig iron, on the oth-

er. Altogetherfit formed a sort of

crude, counterbalanced elevator, by

which they might lower themselves in-

to the shaft, with various bumpings

and delays—but which worked success-

fully, nevertheless. Together they pi1~

'ed into the big, iron bucket, Harry lug-

ging along. spikes and timbers and

sledges and ropes. Then, pulling away

at the cable which held the weights,

they furnished the necessary gravity

to travel downward.



An eerie journey, faced on one side

by the crawling rope of the skip as it

traveled along the rusty old track on

its watersoaked ties, on the others by

the still dripping timbers of the aged

shaft and ‘its broken, rotting ladder,

while the carbide lanterns cast shad-

ows about, while the pulleys above

creaked and the eroded wheels of the

skip squeaked and protested! Down-

ward—a hundred feet-and they collid-

ed with the upward-bound skip, to fend

ofi from it and start on again. The air

grew colder, more moist. The carbides

fluttered and flared. Then a slight

bamp, and they were .at the bottom.

Fairchild started to crawl out from the

b‘uckethonly to resume his old position

as Harry yelled with fright.





FUN EDITOR'S CORNER.





 





Dear Fun Editort—You have asked

us for our opinions in regard to the

“nonsense” in your paper. Our family

believe such nonsense to be an essen-

tial part of normal, happy lives. Clean

fun never hurt anyone, no matter how

intellectual he, or she, may be. A farm—

er, especially, these days requires a

little extra stimulus to tickle his sense

of humor. We enjoy Hy Syckle’s home—



. 1y philosophy, which so cleverly hits

the point. We must admit that Al is

.not necessarily instructive, buta laugh

promotes digestion, and may prevent

nervous prostration.





Here’s to X. Y. Z.

Beg pardon, Mr. X. Y. Z., ' \

‘My‘ painful duty seems to be,

To break to you the sadgsad news,~

.Your head is losing several screws.

What’ 3 in the School Lunch Basket?





1472 Important Event of Sc/zoo/ Days





1TH the Opening of the new



term of school, the minds of



many mothers are again turned

to the perplexing problem of the school

lunch, and indeed at times it becomes

a perplexing one. To plan, in such a

manner, as to always have just the

right thing on hand for lunch is no

simple task and this task becomes

even more difficult to the mother who

isn’t) just a few blocks from a grocery

store, but oftentimes a few miles. Nev-

ertheless, I believe my sympathies rest

with the children who are obliged to

eat these noonday lunches, for that

has been my experience for some six-

teen years.





Mary had a little lunch,

To tell the honest truth,

Too little; quite inadequate;

It wouldn’t fill a tooth! ,





It went with her, this little lunch,

This paper, bread and bacon,



To school each day; she lost her punch,

Her health was sadly shaken!





’Til Mary’s school served every day



A warm milk soup nutritious.



Now ask he1 how she feels; she’ll say,



“Oh, boy, I feel auspicious!”



The thought of the second stanza of

this little jingle is seldom true, for the

lunch packed by mother contains sufli-

cient amount, but that amount may

lack in nutrition, variety and an appe-

tizing manner of packing. The normal

child that gets “two miles of oxygen

twice a day” needs plenty of nourish-

ing food. It is an eaSy matter to de-

termine those children who do not get

it. The child who walks to school and

plays hard all day needs a nutritious

and appelizing lunch to build up the

cells of his body that are being con-

sumed by these activities. If the lunch

basket doesn’t supply its part of this

needed vitality in the daily menu of-

the child, then the result is bound to

attract attention.



There are still many cases where the

problem is not solved by a “warm milk

soup nutritious,” as referred to in the

third stanza. Some rural schools have

furnished themselves with suitable





equipment for serving at least one hot .





dish to each pupil at noon; but those

cases are still the exception rather

than the rule. However, I believe the

time is Coming when the spirit of co-

operation in rural districts will be de—

veloped to such a measure when the

rural school without hot lunches will

be the exception in vica versa to the

present precedent.



In preparing the contents of the

lunch basket, the one great thing to be

avoided is falling into a rut. Just be-

cause the child likes a certain dish is

no reason why it should be in the

lunch basket five days a' week. It has

been said, “Variety is the spice of life,”

and if it were changed to “Variety is

the spice of the school lunch,” I be-

lieve it‘would' be equally true.



Sandwiches see-m always to form the

basis of any lunch and offer a good

oportunity for daily change. The fol-

lowing are a number of fillings that

will satisfy almost any appetite: .



Chop very fine one- half dozen of the





salt and spread between slices of but-

tered bread.

Chop fine a bit of sliced cucumber





small inside stalks of celery, and two ‘

large tart apples, sprinkle lightly with .1





 





pickle and some left-over salmon, pour

a little melted butter over it, sprinkle

with salt and pepper and spread on





buttered bread.





Grate hard- boiled eggs on slices of

buttered bread and sprinkle with salt

and pepper. A bit of prepared mus-

tard or mayonnaise may be appreciat- .

ed by some.



Spread bread with chopped ham and

thin slices of dill pickle. "‘ ,



With one cup of chopped celery mix

one tablespoon of Walnuts and five

olives, or a small pickle. This is good

with dark bread.



To one cup or chopped celery add

one cup of cooked chopped raisins and

moisten with a little lemon juice and

mayonnaise.



If a little lemon juice or some nut

meats or added to many of the jams or

conse1ves they will make tasty fillings

101 sweet sandwiches



Thin slices of cheese, pimento

cheese, peanut butter, or slices of ba-

con add a welcome variety.



ll" graham, brown, rye, bran, or rais-

in bread is used for these sandwiches,

the change will help to tickle the

palate.



The price of a thermos bottle for the

lunch basket should be ,considered as

money well invested. Many things can

be carried in it and it gives a splendid

opportunity to carry something warm

for the lunch. It can be filled with the‘

many different soups, broths or bouil-

lons, or cocoa, or milk, with a change

every day.



For the mother who plans the lunch.





the day before, there are many possi-

bilities in little baked puddings, such

as ricewith dates or raisins, custards

‘with jell-y, a baked apple, Junke‘t, a cup





gof potato salad, or the numerous fruit





jellos that are such favorites with the

children.



Fruit of some sort, such as the apple,

orange, banana, peach, which can be

had when fresh, may be varied with

prunes, dates or. raisins when others

are not to be obtained. Pickles, of

which there are numerousvarieties .to

suit the individual taste, give a bit of

relish to the school lunch, as do little

fancy cakes and cookies. _



When the lunch is opened every-

thing will be in fine order and there

will be no cake on the sandwiches,

or the pudding will not taste of the

apple that‘was near it, if each article

is Wrapped separately in waxed paper.

A paper napkin should also be packed

with the lunch, that the child may

keep in mind his table manners while

eating.



It is not necessary to have a wide

variety for the lunch basket or an elab-

orate bne, for a simple lunch with

plenty of it,’ is much more suitable.

Just see there isa little ‘change each

day. A little planning on mother’s part

will soon overcome the habit of a child

grabbing a sandwich and running out

to play without finishing his lunch.

The teacher should also assume this

as her duty for the welfare of the

children in her school to see that each

one takes sufficient time to digest his

lunch before rushing out to play.





Make Some Empire Fan Lace

A Dainty Edging for T owe/.1" and Pillototlz}:





 





Explanations. ——Ch means chain

stitch (pull loop through the one on

hook); sc, single crochet (with one

loop on hook, pull loop through both

the designated stitch of preceding row

and the loop on book) , dc, double cro-

chet (pull loop through stitch, then

thread over hook and pull through both

loops on hock); tr, treble crochet

(thiead over hook, put hook through

stitch below and pull loop through the

stitch, thread over hook and through

two loops on hook; thread over hook

and through the remaining two loops) ,

dtr, long or double treble crochet

(thread twice over hook, put hook -

through designated stitch and pull loop

thrbugh, which gives four leaps on

hook, thread over hook; and through

two loops, thread over hook and

through remaining two loops).

“THE WAY I no IT."





 





(This, from one of our cooperative

subscribers, shows in a small- way,

how just a letter now and then will

help some tired housewife and mother

with her everyday problems. Let’s

have some more—Eds.)





I have enjoyed reading how other _





housekeepers “did things” and so

thought I would tell of some helps I

have learned. In canning sweet pep-

pers, I wash them, remove the seeds,





cut them up, if necessary, and scald a?

few minutes in strong salt water, then ’





drain them and pack into small jars or

Wide-mouthed bottles and fill to over-

flOwing with hot vinegar, put in cork,

and when cold dip into melted paraffin.

If preferred the bottles can- be filled

with the hot brine. Mine keep fine. I

use empty vaseline'jars if I have only

a few peppers. ' .



I can my grape juice for jelly and

make the jelly later in the winter. By

straining the canned juice while cold

all crystals will be removed, not to

form again. 1

Pieces of crepe paper soaked a few

minutes in warm water, make a nice

dye for faded hair ribbons, odd bits of

Would you~ please tell me how to fix

the-fruit to bat with ice cream? \The





fruit that I have canned is nice and

think, but as soon as it is put on it





. goes right through. Also, how'is straw-





berry ice cream made?-—Mrs. J. A.

I believe the trouble with the fruit

that you can for a syrup or ice cream





is that it is not rich enough. All fruit





syrups which ,are left over from can.





~ning, either small or 'V‘large fruits,





should be bottled, sealed and stored





, away to be uSed for flavoring, or mak-





ing beverages or syrups for ice cream

or sherbet. Such fruits as peaches,

pineapples, give more

satisfactory results when made ,into

syrups before bottling, as the sugar

helps to develop the flavors. Sauces

fer sundaes and for flavoring are often





"made from red cherries, plums, cur-





strawberries, rhu-

A good

proportion for syrup of berries and

Small fruits is two cupfuls of sugar to

leach quart of juice. ' .

The following is a table which may

help you more definitely in canning

the fruit juices: To each quart of grat-

ed pineapple (fresh) allow two pounds

of sugar to one cupful cf water; two

pounds of peaches (fresh), one pound

of sugar to one cupful of water; one

quart of rhubarb juice to two pounds

of sugar; one cup of lemon juice, one

tablespooni‘ul of grated rind, one

pound of sugar to one cupful of water.

A delicious drink is made by adding

two or three tablespoonfuls of fruit





rants, raspberries,





Syrup and the juice of one—half lemon~





to a glass of cold water.



To make strawberry ice cream, the

canned‘fruit is added just before put-

ting into 'freezer. .The amount of fruit

juice added must be deduced from the

amount of milk and cream mixture.

Simply adding whole fruit, grated fine,

makes delicious flavors in ice cream.





LIME IN TEAKETTLE.





 





.1 have a new aluminum teakettle.

Would like to know how I could pre-

vent SO much lime forming on the in.

side—Mrs. D. J. D. ‘





Would advise you to place either an

oyster shell or egg shells in your tea-

kettlg, The lime will collect on‘ these

instead of on the sides of the teakettle

and it is more easily removed.





 





WHEN cmcKers ARE BOTHER-

- some.





 





I am bothered with crickets eating

my clothing. Can you advise any way

to rid my house of them?—-Mrs. M. C.





House crickets usually occur on the

ground floor of dwellings and evince a

liking for warmth, concealing them-

selves between the bricks of the chim-

ney and behind the baseboards. ‘They

are rarely abundant, but at times mul-

tiply rapidly, becoming a serious nuis-

ance. They will eat food and fabrics,

especially woolen. ' .



.vThe Connecticut Agricultural Ex-



periment Station reports these two

measures of control: Mix one-half

pound ofi, potato flour which has been

soiled by the crickets, with one-half

pound of borax and one mashed, ripe

banana. This is to be mixed with

enough water to make a thick paste

and placed where the crickets are most

troublesome. :

' Another method may be used to ex-

Dis-

solve one. tablet 'of' bichloridé of mer—





cury in" one—half cup of water and add ‘





a cup of flour in which the skin of the

banana is cut in small pieces.

also placed easily accessible to the

crickets.





TRY THIS FORMULA FOR MAKING

YOUR FALL HAT.





 





HAVE you tried the \newest “rec-

ipe?" It's for making hats and it

was used with success at a recent mil-

linery demonstration in Larimer coun-





ty,“Colorado, by Eva Floy Smith, As-I





sistant Extension Agent. Here it is:

One spool of even disposition.

One thimble of temper with a tight

fitting cover.





One sewing box of sunshine to use

at will.



One yard of patience folded double,

to increase strength. ‘





One pair seven-inch smiles to stretch

when desired.



One needle of hard looks for mis-

placed stitches. ‘ \



One cushion to ease the bruises of

disgust. A



Mix in a comfortable rocker with a

cool glass of lemonade. Tie with even

disposition and add a ribbon from the

sewing box. More than a prick from

the needle spoils the composition. If

a mistake is made hold fast to the yard

of patience and stretch the smiles.





‘ Women in the Wellington neighbor-

hood who saw this “recipe” and the

announcement of a millinery demon-

stration to be conducted, came eager

to learn. They applied the formula as

intended, and in the proper atmos-

phere of good will, ‘devised a number

of hats averaging $2.50 in cost, but

worth, if bought at the store, $9 to $15.

Farmers' wives were enthusiastic over

the practical demonstration. Attics

were raided for hats to remodel and

the town milliners cooperated in mak-

ing a success of the school, for to them

it meant the sale of trimmings and

other supplies.





HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT? .





 





RANDFATHER always



“gooms” hurt, meaning the fleshy

covering of his jaws. - But when he

had to _masticate his food with those

toothless jaws, he said, “I guess I’ll

have to gum "it.” The word is pro-

nounced the same whether as noun or

verb, whether it means the covering

0 fthe jaws or the stud? that you buy

for a nickel a package. Don’t tell the

dentist your “gooms” hurt. , .





CAN!





 





C AN you can as well as any other



canner can can? If you can can as

well as any other canner can can, then

this is the season you should look to

your canning budget to see that your

canning schedule is complete. There

may still be many satisfactory substi-

tutes to be canned in place of those

which have failed this year for lack

oi the proper amount of moisture or

becauseoof plant disease. Reckon on

the cold winter days and be sure you

have enough to. carry you through till

spring.

Berkshire gilt also belonged to a Hills-

dale member. These are jast two of

the open-class winnings.



The fact. that only two years ago the

club member showing at the State

Fair consisted only of three‘animals

and this year amounted to over W0

hundred head, shows that the boys and

girls are going to be real factors in

the live stock contests in the future.

In fact, this year they walked away

with quite a little money. The Lena—

wee county members won about $1,300

while the” Hillsdale young folks got

about $60 in premium money from

about half as many head as Lenawee.

Besides the premium money these two

counties got good prices at the auction

for their prize-winning fat steers. At

this auction the Detroit packers did

everything they could to encourage the

young folks by their good bidding on

the young folks’ stock.

were three divisions: general judging,

dairy judging, and dairy fitting and

showing.



Nineteen teams were entered in the

general judging contest in which Jack—

The most interesting letters each week will appear here.

Address your letters to me.—-Uncle Frank.





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank: '



I am a girl fourteen ,years old, and

although not- a farmerette, it seems

like the farm sort of belongs to me,

because once last year in school Geor—

gia Brown (do you remember her) and

I were on the “country side” of a de-

bate on the! question, “Which is better,

city or country?” I had to think of

so many of the country’s advantages

that before I had finished, I was quite

in love with it.



I live in Grand Rapids, but every

summer I go to Visit “Juggy” Brown

and we have lots of fun, especially

does she like to laugh at her “city

friend’s” mistakes, such as when Iran

after a run—away pig, calling “Whay,

Whay,” and shaking a pole at him.

Now, I don’ t see anything funny about

that, do you?



I do wish some of you would write

to me because I should think it would

be lots of fun to correSpond with peo-

ple that you have never seen Your

lriend and cousin, D01othy Lundquist.





Your “farm” experiences are not

complete until you have a playful calf

pull you over a five—acre lot. It will

keep you going some. I am glad you

like the country after making a study

of its advantages.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have never written to you before,

but I hope I may become a niece of

yours, even though my home is not in

Michigan, for I have never seen lette1s

f1om any boys and girls who live in

any other state. .



I live on a seven—hundred-and-fifty—

acre ranch about a mile and a half

from town. My father raises grain

and beans on about half of it, and the

remainder is pasture.



I like to 1ide horseback ve1y much,

and have two horses of my own, John-

ny and Little G. are their names. I

also have a red, green and yellow par-

rot which is always calling “Alys” at

the top of his voice.



I am fourteen years old and will be

in the second year of high school this

term. Our school starts the fourth of

September, and it seems as if we had

only had about one month’s vacation

instead of almost three.

Well, I’m afraid my letter is rather

long so will close. Sincerely, your

would-be niece, Alys Ellery.





You are my can-be-niece, Alys. I

believe Michigan young folks would

like to read more about California, so

please write again.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have read many interesting letters

in The Michigan Farmer, and would

like to join this happy circle. May I?



I am fifteen years old and will be a

junior in high school next year. Al-

though I stay in the “Sor” when I go

to school, I like the country the best

much amusement with by hitching it

up to their goat wagon.



Would like very much to hear from

Dear Uncle F1 ank



How are all my pals, anyhow? I am

a boy of twelve years of age and live

on a farm of sixty acres. I like to live

on the farm We moved from Minne-

apolis, Minn" a year ago I lived on

the farm in northern Minnesota, too.

I have a good time on the farm, and

have many good times swimming,

hunting and fishing.



Last spring I was picking cherries

and after buying clothes and helping

father and mother, I had five dollars

left. So I bought a Chester-White hog

for five dollars. It was small then, but

weighs about eighty pounds now. As

soon as he weighs about three hundred

pounds I will sell him, and see how I

will make money. James Massie, Law-

ton, Michigan.



I am sure you used wisely the earn-

ings from your cherry picking. Please





tell us what you make on your hog.

school because they are of the active,

or mo‘tive, type of boy or girl. This

type wants to do some active thing all

the time, and sitting down and think-

ing or studying is distasteful to them.

On the other hand, the thinker type





. dislikes intense activity and is enjoy-





ing himself the best when he has “his

nose in a book.”





I have twin bays who are the two





opposites in this respect. One simply

does not want to study but is a ripper

for work and enjoys nothing like get-

ting out and having a tearing old time.

The other one likes to read and think

things out, but when it comes to physi-

I can see that in the future the

You are either one or the other of

these types, or a mixture of both. If

you are of the active, or motive, type

just take ahold of yourself and insist

you are of the thinker,type and are

the yolks are in various stages of de-

velopment and that the hen in all

probability is laying, whereas the clos-

ed pelvic arches indicate a non-func-

tioning ovary or a bird that is not in

a laying condition. .‘Practically all lay-

ing hens will show a good spread in

this region but all are not laying at

the same rate and therefore, all are

not equally profitable.



The capacity test should be supple-

mented with the pigment test because

the latter indicates past production.

A hen may be temporarilyoff produc-

tion due to broodiness, in which case

the bones will close, but if white legs

are found to be present, and the hen

is showing no indication» of moulting,

she should not be discarded because

she will undoubtedly return to early

production.



Poultry raisers, as a class, are fa-

miliar with this bleaching process,

commonly referred to as the pigmenta—

tion test. It has a practical value in

culling during the summer, and is es-

sentially. a test for the novice.



The yellow pigment which is evident

in the shanks, and beaks of the Leg-

horns, Anconas, Rocks, Reds, and Wy-

andottes, is re-absorbed and used for

yolk coloring. After approximately

eighty eggs have been produced, the

legs will have bleached entirely, show-

ing the pale or white condition com-

mon to hens that are recommended to





 





Fig. 15. Good Egg-laying Conformation





be retained one year longer. The large

‘ beefy hens that have not had the strain

of heavy production will in every case,

show considerable yellow pigment in

both the beak and shanks.



We are no longer laboring under the

delusion of the early moulting hen fill-

ing the egg basket during the winter

months. Big records are impossible

when production is limited to a few

months in the year. It is the hen of

Marathon type, rather than the sprint-

er, that covers the distance of tw8 hun-

dred eggs or better. Egg laying con-

tests are not always decided until the

last. day of the laying year, October 31.



Ordinarily, the late- moulting hen

presents a ragged, bleached appear-

ance towards the end of October. This

is due to the brittleness of the feath-

ers which lose their oil and moisture

c0ntent through intensive production.

The hen on millinery display presents

a 351961;, well-groomed condition, indi-





{Continuedflom Page 299)





cative'of her past performance as a

producer—the social parasite of poul-

trydom.



Late moulting, and quick moulting

are the policies of the heavy layers.

Early and prolonged moulting is the

policy of the slacker element.



The writer places special emphasis

on the head in selecting for egg pro-

duction. A definite correlation be-

tween each section, of an animal al-





ways exists in a well-balanced individy





ual. A‘ great many people are now

“Hoganizing” their hens and laborng

under the delusion that they are at-

tacking the business end of the hen.

The head indicates more accurately

the delicacy and efficiency of the inter-

nal mechanism than any other section

in the production of eggs.





All hens can be roughly classified,





into one of the four following groups:



First, the crow-head type, which is

an indication of low vigor; the long

straight, narrow beak; sunken eye, nar-





 





 





 





Fig 10. A Typical High Producer.





row skull, is characteristic of the con-

stitutionally poor producer, as shown

in Figure 9. This type not only makes

unsatisfactory layers, but produces

chicks that are slow to feather and

slow to mature.



The second general class include the

refined type of heads, as shown in

Figure 10. The refined head should

reveal feminity and alert responsive

disposition and a characteristic temp-

erament of the genuine egg machine.





. The head is of medium length, avoid-





ing the short, thick conformation of

the more beefy type, or the long con-

formation of the crow—head type. The

skull is moderately narrow, likewise

the jaw is not heavy or thick. The

skin lining the face should be extreme-

ly thin and delicate, giving the face a

dished appearance. The eye should be

prominent, bulging, and placed well

back in an oval eye socket. This gives

the placid, feminine, and intelligent

appearance to the face. There should

be an absence of all tendencies to

throatiness and heavy thick neck.

The third general type of head is

common ,to the beefy class. The head

in this ‘case, as shown in Figure 11, is

short, heavy, and coarse, with a wide

skull and coarsely wrinkled skin. In





addition the Jaw is usually wide, and

the neck short and heavy. «The fourth~

general class includes all hens show-





ing secondary male sexual characteris-

tics.





This class includes all hens de- '





veloping either the .male ‘voice, com- ii,





mon to hens described'as IncOmplete

Hermaphroditism, or the other group,

that take On masculine charactristics

due to atrophy of the ovary. In either

case, the head becomes gross and mas-





culine and the egg sack never shows





any development.

Figure No. 12, masculine.





Practically all hens can be directly





classed in one of the above mentioned

groups. Many hens fall intermediate

between these four distinct groups and

which make it possible to detect their





,weakness, either as a layer or breeder.

The head is the mirror of produc-'





tion, and reveals not only the motor

capacity, but also the efficiency of pro—

duction.



Egg production alters the type of all

hens. Figure No. 14 illustrates the

round conformation which is very un-

desirable. The hen showing short

round ribs usually takes on consider-

able internal and external fat, and

moreover, is the loose—feathered,early-

moulting type. The conformation test

is nicely applied to mature pullets as

well as to hens in their first laying

year. The ideal conformation is shown

in Figure 15. This particular hen is

an extremely long-distance lay/er, hav-

ing produced for two consecutive years

without an‘f‘break in production. At-

tention should .be brought to the long,

deep, flat ribs, and broad flat back,

which gives the wedge-shaped confor-

mation. This particular conformation

is associated with close feathering and

late moulting. The egg record sheet

ulsually coincides very closely with the

illustration in Figure 2. A flat ribbed

bird will seldom take on internal or

external fat, and will in most cases-

remain profitable for two or three

years. i '

We are -not only interested in the

elimination of the less profitable stock,

but are also concerned over—the pro-

duction of fewer culls. This means

that the best individuals in each flock





should be segregated and mated the.

following spring. Frequently we will

find hens producing records such as

illustrated in Figure 3. They evidently

have plenty of vitality as is indicated

by a wide distribution of production,

but the brOody factor being present.

reduces the profits tO'a great extent.

The average American hen goes

broody four times a year which means

a loss of approximately one dozen eggs

with each rest period. This undesir~

able characteristic can be eliminated

by breeding only from hens that never

go broody or limit their rest periods

to one or two vacations each. The

wing fairly accurately furnishes this

information. Figure No. 13 shows the

wing of a hen that has been on an ex-

tended vacation. The wing is divided

into two distinct parts, the outer ten

feathers form the primaries, or flight

feathers. In the center of the wing is

a small pointed thumb feather which

is usually, one of the last feathers to

moult. The balance of the wing forms

the secondaries. The broody hen usu-

ally confesses each rest period by

moulting one of the primary feathers.

If a two-weeks’ vacation is indulged in,

ordinarily the tenth feather will drop

off and a new feather quickly replaces

it. Later the hen will return to pro-

duction when the maternal ‘iinstinct .





Fig. 14. Fat-prOducing Conformation.





will again develop when feather No. 9

will drop out again to 'be replaced by

a new feather. The latter part of Sep-

tember is the ideal time to .check up

on the intensity .of this broody char-

acter, and hens that are moulting that

register over five new feathers, should

not be privileged to enter the breeding

pen the following spring, although they '





”may be kept over as profitable laying





stock. The wing also reveals the late-

ness of moulting. The early moulting

hen will usually shed the entire pri-

mary feathers, whereas the hen that

moults in November will usuallyre-





‘tain the two outer primaries, the hen

that moults in December can usually





retain three or four outer~ primary

' BRINGING UP THE BABY.





 





HE young father and mother (boy

and girl but a year or SO back)

with their first baby to raise, shoulder

a responsibility much weightier than

seven or eight pounds of wailing daint-

iness. Seldom are they. prepared. Gen-

erally their trust is in grandma "or

some older brother or sister. If the

least difficulty arises they can only

turn to the experience of those who

have traveled the road ahead of them

and perhaps wandered disastrously

over’much treacherous territory in so

doing.

The following extract from a 1ecent

'letter serves to illustrate:





“We' live with my husband’s parents,

and when the baby was a couple of





days old, before the milkcam'e, he had





a hard crying spell, and acted as

though he was hungry. The doctor

had mm us not to give him anything

excepting a little warm water besides

his nurse, until the milk came. But

my husband’s mother thought he was

crying because of hunger, so she bu‘rnt

some whiskey and gave to him. Should

she have done this?





Another young mother writes about

the crying spells of her baby, They

came to be a- regular daily affair, keep-

ing on until eleven or tWelve at night.

So before he was three months oldyshe

weaned her baby and began to give

him condensed milk, with very poor

. results.





Still another young mother started

to nurse her baby at three-hour inter-

vals in accordance with the advice of

the doctor, but finding that he cried a

' great deal ’took up the plan of nursing





a little whenever he cried. Now she

wonders why he doesn’t gain in

weight.





nother of these girl mothers has

be en told to give her baby a few drops

of castor oil every day. Shall she do

it? Still another is worried because

the baby sleeps so [much of the time

and cries so little that it doesn’t seem

natural. ,





‘The Shepard-Towner bill, passed at

the last session of congress, is for the

special purpose .of providing, through

trained nurses and other workers,

proper education for these young par-

ents. It would provide in every com-

munity some means of seeing that the

young mother is kept in good health

while carrying her baby, and is taught

how to bring the little one up in good

shape. These little things are mighty

important to the health of the nation.

Babies should not be given whiskey.

They should not be weaned from the

mother's breast at three 'months and

put on artificial food; They should not

be nursed at any and'all hours. They

should not be given'laxatives and pur-

gatives. These apparent 'trifies are

among the matters that contribute to

our infant death rate, to,say- nothing

of the anxiety and distress they make

for [the young parents. The Shepard-

Towner ,act has been accepted for op-

eration in Michigan. Let us help the

State Board of Health to put it into

efi‘icient action.

You are greatly overweight. This

very likely explains your backache and

aside from that is dangerous to your

general health. Get‘your' weight cut

down. Reduce your diet twenty-five

per cent by actual weight and keep it

up for a month. If this is not sufficient

cut' it another ten per cent. Avoid

fats, sweets, butter, cream, and an ex-

cess of‘starchy foods. You will find





the leafy vegetables safe and they will





help fill up without fattening.





[NOSE TROUBLE.





 





Thb middle turbinate bone of my .-





nose became enlarged until it com-

pletely closed the nostril, at the same

time closing the tube on one of the

sinuses so it could not drain, causing

it to become infected. Can this sinus

be cured? Would the sea coast air

help me? What would you advise?——

Mrs. M.‘ F. D





Chronic suppuration of the nasal

sinuses is sometimes hard to cure be-

cause the infection may spread from

one sinus to the other luntil all arcin-

fected and also the antrum which is

the large cavity beneath -the cheek.

The only treatment is a surgical oper-

ation that will give you complete drain-

age. It is important to have the work

done by a doctor of wide experience

who will do a thorough job. I fear

that sea coast air would not help you

much without the surgery.





CAUSE OF HAY FEVER.

I have heard about hay fever being

caused by weed pollen and how a cam~

paign was being carried on against it

It is some

job to destroy all the weeds around

my place, but if you will tell the worst

ones I might go after them. I have

understood it was golden rod and 10s-

Neither roses nor golden-10d are

Liberal Feeding Pays





By A. C. Baltzer





HE fall freshening cows are com-



ing in and will continue to come



in for several months up into

the winter. Good liberal feeding meth-

ods, practiced before and continued af-

ter freshening, will increase the effi-

ciency of milk production of Michigan

cows. '



What constitutes good feeding prac-

tices? Follow nature closely and we

fill find the cow doing her best during

the autumn and winter if summer con-

ditions regarding feed are applied.

These condtiions are an abundance of

palatable, bulky, succulent feed made

up into a balanced ration.



Nature herself points theway. In

the springtime access to pasture grass-

es allows the cow to have an abundance

of succulent, bulky, palatable feed, bal-

anced to meet the needs of the cow





' for maintenance and to furnish nour-





ishment for her calf for a time.



A manufacturing plant or any ma-

chine is most efficient and economical

when running near its full capacity.

The cow is a manufacturing plant tak-

ing the raw mateirals produced on the





pounds is getting the feed of her twen-

ty- pound sister, and often the twenty-

pound sister is getting the ration that

her sixty~pound. sister should have.

Feed individually and weigh your milk

and feed alwiiys. First, feed all-the

roughness a cow will cleanup. Sec-

0nd,, feed one pound of grain daily for





each three to three and one- half





pounds of milk, or one pound of grain

daily for each pound of butter-fat pro-

duced per week, and third, feed all the

cow will take without gaining in

weight. For greatest economy for an.

tumn and winter and even/year around

feeding silage or beets are almost in-

dispensable, a legume hay, alfalfa or

clovers, and grain mixtures to balance

with the roughage material.





lT PAID MR. “X" TO MIX FEED.





 





R. ROY CHILBERG, the tester at

Rieves Junction, Jackson. county,

relates the ' following experience.

“There were sixteen cows in Mr. X’s

herd the first month (June), ten of

which Were being milked. The cattle





 





 





This is the Season when the Good Dairyman Supplies an Abundance of Pal-

atable Feed for His Cows.





farm,vthe silage, the hay and grain and

converting them into milk. In order





to allow the cow to manufacture milk/





a certain amount of the feed goes to

maintain her body. Ordinarily this





‘ amount of feed used for maintenance





is aboutfifty to sixty per cent of the

ration fed. But the milk production

occurs after the needs for maintaining

the cow" have been supplied. Hence it

is short~sighted economy not to feed

additionally to the limit of capacity

production of the cow On too many

falms is this a common mistake made

in feeding not alone the cows, but all

live stock. Be a good liberal feeder.



Many Michigan coWs are fed a ra-

tion that will maintain their bodies

but; which will not allow them to pro-

duce a full flow of milk. Others are

fed half a ration and the milk flow is

reduced to a minimum. What happens

when fed as last mentioned? Can the

cow automatically stop giving milk?

No, she gives milk and will continue

to give milk for some time at her own

body expense, losing in flesh in order

that the mother instinct to nourish

her calf is satisfied. However, she will

“gradually adjust herself and give the

milk corresponding to the amount of

feed. Heavy milking cows, several

weeks after freshening, even when

quite well fed, continue to lose weight

and flesh because of this mother func—

tion.



on the other hand, what happens

when the cow is over-fed? The excess

food is simply used for bodyifat. Hence

over-feeding or feedings. full ration is

not harmful before calving when near-

ly dry because the execss feed is used





to supply nourishment for the unborn

' Offspring or to repair muscle and tis»





lane and even to put on chin body

weight.





Feed a balanced full ration for the?

greatest economy and efficiency. Too»

The next month (July) there were

Seventeen head in the herd and ten





‘were milking. Hay was fed twice daily





instead of once as in previous month

and a grain ration, composed of 400

pounds of ground oats; 200 pounds of

corn meal, 100 pounds each of bran,

oilmeal and cottonseed meal. This

was fed 'one pound of grain for three

and *one-half to four pounds~of milk.

Nutritive ratin was one. to 4.06.





The cattle increased the flow of

milk at once and when I returned to

the farm - the following month they

were each giving from three to seven

pounds of milk per day more than the

previous month. The value of product

above cost of feed for‘the monthwas

$3.42 or $11.74 more than was received

the month before. This example shows

the value of feeding grain to cows on

pasture and in preparation for milk

production, which is obtained by keep-

ing milk records of individual cows in

herd. ”





 





THE EFFECT OF REED ON THE

RICHNESS or MILK. '





 





UNTIL very recent times it has been

universally held that milk varied

in richness or’iper cent of fat accord-

ing to the feed and care the cow re-

ceived. Foods rich in fat, perhaps

more than any other class of nutrients,





have been looked upon as having a

direct influence, on the richness of the





milki’ Sometimes if the amount of fat





'. or oil in the ration be increased mark-





Iedly or suddenly by .feeding such





1-feeds as cottonseed meal, linseed oil

meal, cocoanut meal, soy-bean meal or

re will be a temporary ill-

crease in he percentage of~fat in the;

milk for a short period but thetnormslx '





named. .





     





lichness of milk is not due to the fill!





ultive effect of the food, but due to

the sudden change in feeding which

upsets the nmmal working of the 0011’s

glands and digestive organs, and is

often followed by a decrease in the

amount of milk given.



Attempts at feeding fat into milk for

a long‘ period have not been successful.

The quality of’milk cannot be changed

over any considerable time by the feed-

er, but is largely determined by factors

not under his control, such as breed

and individuality. The milk of each

cow possesses a fixed inherent rich-

ness. The Jersey cow gives a milk

which is relatively high in fat. No

kind of feed or care will cause the

Jersey to give milk like that of Hol~

stems, or the Holstein like that of the

Jersey. The quality of milk depends





on the inheritance \of the cow rather,





than on the food which she consumes.

——Carl Huffman, Research Assistant in

Dairying, M. A. C.





DON’T LET CATTLE CHOKE.





 





HE fall and early winter months

are the season when many cattle

are lost without good cause, because





the farmer does not watch out in feed-‘

‘insr





a little thought and extra care

will save these valuable animals.

Choke in cattle is usually the result of

the animal’s swallowing such objeCts

as apples, turnips, beets, potatoes, and

the like; it may be caused from eating

straw or chaff. This condition is no-

ticed most often in the season when

animals are pastured where these





' fruits and vegetables may be» reached,





and when the farmer is feeding the





surplus culls to stock in the uncut.





state. .



Choke in‘ cattle does not always

show the same symptoms; in fact, it

is rather difficult to determine the ail-

ment in some cases. When the chok-

ed animal drinks water it will return

thlough the mouth or nose if the choke

is complete; if it is only partial the

animal may be able to swallow some

of the water. If the choke is com-

plete, the animal will usually bloat,





. due to the gas that is constantly being





formed in the paunch as it cannot pass

upward through the gullet as it nor;

mally does. The breathing may be fast-

e1 than it ordinarily is.



If. there is plenty of assistance at

hand‘it may be advisable to have the

animal’s head held securely, and then

with the aid of a mouth gag, to hold

the animal’s mouth open, the hand be-

ing passed over the base of the tongue

in an effort to grasp the object and

remove it. If the choke is too deep for





that, it might be well to use something '





to lubricate the gullet, and for this the

following may be used with good re

sults: Olive oil, glycerine, slippery

elm tea. Any of these may be‘ given in

small doses of four to sixounces. Of

all these, slippery elm is possibly the

best lubricant of all.

it possible for the animal to pass the

object into the stomach.



If the object can be felt, a gentle

plessure may be exerted upward on

it. Under no conditions should two

hard objects b3 cracked together with

the region of the choke between them,

with the "intention of crushing the

mass; neither should a whipstalk be

passed down the animal’s throat, as





‘many farmers do in such conditions.

\ If a veterinarian is to be had, he can





give the animal a dose of appmorphine

hydroclonide, which may remove the

choke.

If the animal is in such condition

that it is not likely to be relieved, it

is best to have it slaughtered at once.

little higher than the low levels 'of

1921. v .



-.Judged by this seetion alone, the

alfalfa. crop would be much larger than





 

 





’ last year, but advance reports from





other sections I will yet visit, indicate

that while present crop prospects in

3many cases are above those of” this

time last year, it is a little early to

tell 'what damage hoppers. and frost

may do. On the whole, it looks as

though common alfalfa will start off as





' cheap if not cheaper, than last year.





, Farmers in the west are very hard

up for money. Our Michigan farmers

don’t know what tight money is com-

pared to conditions here. For exam-

ple, in the little town of Myton men-

tioned previously, their second and last

bank closed its doors a few days be-

fore my arrival. ' -With both banks

closed and the resultant distrust of all

payments by check, and cold cash

scarce, they are practically forced\back

to the bartering. days of our forefa-

thers. So now the threshermen, instead

of getting cash or check, takes one-fifth

of the sweet clover threshed, one-tenth

of the wheat, etc. ‘



As a result of these conditions and

in spite of the fact that it doesn’t look

now as though there would be a huge

seed crop, if too much of this seed is

forced on' the market this fall prices

may be depressed; and if they are, it

'will be a good time to buy, for present

indications are that by spring the de-

mand will catch up with the supply.



Of course, it’s too early to state pos-

itively what the conditions will be, for

while this country has little or nothing

to fear from rain, there is always dan-

ger of frost which, coming early, black-

ens any alfalfa seed that is not fully

mature.



After. visiting / Millard county, Utah,

the largest alfalfa seed producing

‘county in the world—and the southern

Idaho district, in the next ten days we

will know more about the real pros-

pects. ’



I almost forgot to mention that the

seed in the Unitah Basin is grown at

an elevation of 4,500 to 5,000 feet, and

while this section is south of Michigan

it is so.high the temperature range is’

about the same. Common alfalfa from

this section should compare favorably



~with common from other sections as

far as hardness is concerned.





 





OCEANA COUNTY WINNER AGAIN.





 





OR the twenty-ninth time in thirty

- years Oceana county won the blue/

ribbon at the Michigan State Fair fruit

exhibit. Aside from winning the first

prize in the county exhibit, the Oceana

county exhibitors won many first pre-





=miums in plate and package contests. .





MICHIGAN GREEN PEAS.





 





HE past four years only Wisconsin

and New Ydrk have produced

more green peas than this state. Here

this great money~producing crop is

_ taken care of in thirteen canning fac-

tories. During this year there are

8,475.acres of peas under cultivation

for canning purposes. This is about

an average acreage for the state.

HE census figures of 1920 show

that Michigan stands fifth in the

production of vegetable crops. These

crops, including potatoes, are valued

at over $65,000,000 at farm prices. Be-

sides .potatoes, Michigan grows large

.quantities of asparagus, beans, cab-

bage, cantaloupes, celery, sweet corn,

cucumbers, lettuce, onions, green peas,

spinach, tomatoes and watermelons.

Detroit, the fourth city in the coun-

try, receives practically all of its veg-

etables from its own state, and Chi-

cago, the second largest city, receives

a great share of its _vegetable supply

from Michigan.





 





sHows FAITH IN HIS LAND.





 





GEORGE GORTON, of Geauga coun-

ty, Ohio, has shown that good

judgment and faith in his land pays.

In 1914, things looked bad for him.

.But after deep thought, he felt that

the only Way out of debt was to go into

debt some more. This he did to buy

tile and lime for his farm. The land

is now all tiled and has had four

coats of ,lime. The results are such

that they have paid well and Mr. Gor-

ton’s 100 is now one of optimism in-

stead of pessimism.



A fifteen~acre demonstration field,

which he is running in conjunction

with college experts, is in a four-year

rotation of clover, corn silage, oats, and

hay.

ings for every rotation.

the field was in corn, Mr. Gorton ad-

ded 600 pounds per acre of seventeen

per cent acid phosphate, and another

hundred pounds each in the years of

1920 and 1921. When the field was in

hay, it was also top-dressed with seven

tons of manure. This year it yielded

thFee and a half tons of ,hay to the

acre and another cutting still to come.

Cow Fails to Come in Heat.——Have

a cow that calved in April, 1922. Since

then I have never known of her being

in heat. For a month or more after

she calved a yearling bull ran in the

lot with her. How can I tell if she is

with calf? L. McD., Posen, Mich.——

A cow usually comes in heat eighteen

to twenty-one days after calving. At

twelve months of age a bull can serve

cows and get them with calf. The Ids-

tor of this case leads me to believe

yo cow is with calf to the yearling

bull. A rectal examination of your cow

would determine whether she was

pregnant or not. It is too early to tell.

by external appearance. '





Freemartins.——One of my registered

Holstein cows gave birth to twin

calves, one a bull, the other a heifer.

I am told that this twin heifer will

never breed. Is this true? J. T. G.,

Manchester, Mich—Twin bulls, also

twin heifers, usually breed; but a. free-

martin never does.





Incipient. Heav,es.-+I have a horse

nine years old that shows some of the

early symptoms of heaves. He was

idle all winter, fed no grain, but is

fleshy. Have been giving him some

pine tar. Can heaves be cured? C.

A. P., Hermansville, Mich.—-lncipient

heaves can in some cases be cured, if

the animal is dieted and properly med-

icated. Feed no clover or dry, musty,

badly cured fodder, or clover. Feed

plenty of grain and grass. Give him

half ounce of Fowler’s Solution at a

dose in soft feed or in drinking water

three times a day. You can safely try

any of the commercial heave remedies

which are regularly advertised in this

paper.





Chorea—Bog-Spavin.—I have a large

mare that trembles in the right shoul-

der, especially when she is exerted. I

also have a case of bog-spavin which

we have been treating with blisters all

winter and the bunch is no smaller

than when we first commenced treat-

ment. W. M. F., Beaverton, Mich.—

Apply spirits of camphor With plenty

of hand-rubbing three times a day, and

give her one dram of fluid extract of

nux vomicaat a dose three times a

day for a month or two. Don’t work

her too hard. It the bog-spavin is caus-

ing no lameness leave it alone, for you

will never be able to remove bunch.





Dry Joints—Cow Leaks Milk.~—When

my. four—year-old mare trots, her joints

snap and ..make a cracking noise, but

she is not lame.

old Jersey cow which we bought at

auction sale a short time ago. She

gives a nice mess of milk; came fresh

last January, but since turning her to

pasture she leaks milk. R. 0., Roth-

bury, Mich—Give your mare two

drams of 'Urotropin (Uritone—Parke,

Davis & 00.), at a dose twice a day, or

give two drains of acetate of potash

twice daily. After each .anilking, dry

the end of teats and apply flexible col-

WHEAT





The wheat market continued to drag

last week as the demand from flour

mills and exporters has been inade-

quate to the offerings. Prices declined

temporarily to the lowest level of the

season and to practically the same

point reached in November, 1921. The

disturbance in the Near East aided in

a slight recovery, although it did not

increase export sales. The huge Can-

adian surplus is the overshadowing in-

fluence as Canadian wheat is relative-

ly below the domestic hard or spring

wheat. Some hard winter was sold

for export. in the last few days, how-

ever, presumably to fill contracts made

some time ago. ,



Rumors are prevalent of official aid

to withhold part of their crop from the

market and possibly to assist foreigers

in making purchases in the United

States. Until some new influenCe ent-

ers the market,‘a dragging tendency is

likely to continue, although prices are

not expected to go much lower than

they now are. ‘





CORN





Coarse grain markets have been unset-

tled reecntly, the

wheat market being the main influ-

ence. It is genarlly believed that the

corn crop will fall below the govern—

ment’s estimated and demand remains

broad, but producers are selling freely

and primary receipts have increased

again. A pronounced advance in val-

ues rarely occurs on the eve of the

harvest of the new crop.





OATS





Receipts of oats increased last week,

but there is as yet nothing like the

usual post-harvest movement. Demand

“from the east has improved materially.





BEANS ' ' '





Heavy rains have retarded the bar-

vest and sale of. beans recently and

caused an advance of about 50 cents

in the market with choice hand—picked





     





weakness in the'





 





whites quoted at $5.25 per 100 pounds

$4.50 for November shipment. Demand

is dull , and is‘ unlikely to become active

before October. In additiOn some im~

ported beans are seeking an outlet in

the east. The September crop esti-

mate was 12,500,000 bushels compared

with 9,100,000 bushels harvested last

year and an average of 1916-1920, 13,-

300,000 bushels in the five years. ‘





SEEDS -





A survey of the prospective crop of

red clover seed by the department of

agriculture shows a yield about one-

third larger than last" year. This means‘

approximately 1,880,000 bushels com“

pared with an average of 1,538,000

bushels during the six preceding years.

The crops of alsike and white clover

also are larger than in 1921. Prices

have been firm during the last ten





days.

FEEDS





Feed markets have advanced sharply

in the last few days, due primarily to

light offerings. Bran has advanced

nearly $3 and cottonseed meal about

$2. The drouth in the southwest has

brought a briskdemand from that sec-

tion, but sales elsewhere generally are

small, and the market is not expected

to retain the advance.





HAY





Arrivals of hay at distributing mar-

kets, and country loadings in the sur-

plus sections both are comparatively

light.

but most points report weakness.





POTATOES





The potato markets were uneven last

week. Prices declined on the eastern

stock and advanced on northern and

western potatoes. Shipments are run-

ing smaller than a few weeks ago but

are up to normal for this season of the

year. The September forecast shows





Prices are firm in a few cities.





 





a slightly smalle





producedx Northern round whites are





quoted at $1.40@1‘.75 per 100 pounds in \





midwestern cities.





APPLES



The apple market is holding at

about the same level as in the two pre-

ceding weeks with summer apples quot-

ed at a range of 75 cents to $1.25 per

bushel; on _midwestern markets,» and

Grimes Golden and Jonathans

$3.25 to $4 a barrel. The September

forecast placed the commercial

at 32,583,000 barrels compared with 21,-

200,000 barrels last year and an aver~

age of 26,800,000 barrels-and in the five

years 1916 to 1920. Receipts continue

to reflect the big crop, the carlotmove-

ment for the entire United States in

the week ending September 9 being,

1,768 cars compared with‘ 1,215 car-s

last year, 1,068 cars two years ago and

913 cars three years ago. "





POULTRY AND EGGS .





Egg prices have retained nearly all

the recent advance. Receipts of fresh

eggs at the leading cites are running

lighter than last year and slightly be

low the average for the corresponding

season in the three preceding years.

Demand is brisk and, in addition to

current receipts, rather heavy with—

drawals from cold storage are neces-

sary. Poultry prices are holding up 'as

receipts are not running as much

above the average for the correspond-

ing season as they were two months

ago. Indications are, however, that

the crop to be marketed this fall and

winter will be larger than during any

recent year. , ' .

Although a weaker" to ,0 was notice-

able in, the butter mar ‘Bt last week

the prices at eastern points advanced

slightly and the decline at Chicago was

negligible. Rain’s‘hnd cooler weather

have. improved the ' prospects for au-

tumn production 'but it is " improbable

that'the- make will be sufficient to sup-

ply the consumptive demand so that

steady inroads must be made into cold -

storage holdings from this time on.

Fancy butter has been; scarce as most .

of the recent receipts were made dun

ing the hot weather period. The butter

situation is comparatively strong, al~

though. advances from this level may

be rather slow. 7 ' .

WOOL





The woOl market is showing a heal-

thy tOne and activity is more marked

than a few weeks ago as manufacturv

ers have resumed buying on a broader

scale. Higher prices on woolen goods

are rather freely predicted. The Lon-

don auction reports prices steady to

ten per cent higher than the preceding"

series. The duty recommended in a

conference report on the wool tariff is

31 cents per pound and makes but” lit-

tle change in the situation, although it

may effect sales upon me of the wool

oheld in bond, of whic here were 103,-

549,776 pounds on July 31. Part of

these wools have been on hand for a.

long time and a few forced sales have

been made recently. Some buyers are

holding back until more of these wools

are put on the market in the hope of

picking up bargains. ‘





DETROIT CITY MARKET





The market is quite liberally sup-

plied with produ‘ce but the trading was

quiet. Complaints of selling poor eggs

and short weight in potatoes have been

made. Both' of these are punishable

by fine and imprisonment. Cauliflow-

er, peachespgrapes, corn and gerkins

are in greatest demand, while potatoes

and apples are among the most plenti-

ful. Apples sell for 85c@$2 per bu; -

DAIRY CATTLE.



The showing of dairy cattle was ex-

cellent, quality and numbers consider-

ed. Several out of the state herds

competing with the best herds in Mich-

igan made an exceptional showing in

the five dairy breeds. The show of

Guernseys was especially good in num—

bers and inquality. Most of the class-

es in the Jersey showing were good,

although one or two classes of younger

stuff presented a rather poor idea of

Jersey type with the exception of one

or two,outstanding individuals.« The

Holstein section had a large number of

entries and ‘some.very claSSy stuff.

Ribbons were very well scattered be-

tween the breeders in this case, no

one brewer cleaning the field. Only

three herds of Ayrshires were repre-

sented and in many classes the com-

petition was not keen.
