chickens.



It seems that this is an indication

that you have to go a long way to find

instances of accomplishment in even

such a common thing as chicken rais-

ing. The hundreds of farms which

were passed had chickens which were

either producing a meager profit or

none at all because, like Topsy, they

“just growed up” instead of being giv—

en the little extra care and attention

which would make them useful and

profitable members of the barnyard

congregation. '



Investigation shows that about one-

third of the hens in the state are eat-

ing their heads off, but literally their

heads are left do because the farmer

can’t pick-,themout. Three million

hens in this state could be sent to the

market and the egg production of the

state suffer very little, while the profits

of Michigan poultry raisers would be

greatly added to. ‘



Good stock, well taken care of, is

just as essential to success in keeping

poultry as in other lines of live stock.

It is that little extra care and attention





 





‘CURRENT COMMENT





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





Don’t put off until next spring what

you can do this fall.





If you make your chickens lay for

you, the bill collector won’t.





A little oil in time on proper places

Time is money when spent in proper

seed selection.





Man has an advantage over animals

in that he can act well-bred even

though he is not.

and it will be less of a gamble.

s t a t e constitution

thority to provide for an income tax

scheme, the funds for which will go

toward the support of the state gov-

ernment.





It was largely through the efforts

of farm organizations and farm lead-

ership that this opportunity was made

possible. In fact, the resolution re-

ceived practically the united support





of the representatives from the rural INCE sugar prices

The nature of the amendment, how- Sugar and consumption our

Large classes of voters who live by

their wits, or who require no preperty

of their own to earn their income, will

vote solidly against this measure.

These people, are not— asleep and when

the count is made the “nays” will ag-

gregate no small number.



The only hope for passing this

amendment lies in a full vote from the

rural districts of the state. There will

of course, be much support from real \

estate owners in our towns and cities,

but the bulk of the votes must be put



_in the ballot boxes by farmers. The

fltime is at hand when every voter in

«ovary township would “be apprised of

this crop just received from Europe.



This official statement is to the ef-~

feet that the August estimate of an ex-

cess of 500,000 tons over last year’s

production for all Europe except Rus-

sia,’must be revised downward. At the

present time the official estimates are

placed at only 225,000 tons above last

year’s out- turn.



This reduction comes about largely

through the loWer content of sugar in

the beets During the summer just

past the weather in Europe has favor-

ed ieaf growth to the detriment of the

root and the average sugar content in

Germany has been reduced from 17.8

last year to 15 2 this year; in France

this product by many European coun-

tries. The per capita consumption of

sugar in the United Kingdom before





.the war- was eighty-six pounds, of





which fifty-nine pounds were absorbed

for domestic consumption.

war began that consumption dropped





to an .,average of seventy-one pounds,-

with but fifty-two 'pounds used in, the.





homes. There is reason for believing

that the appetite of the Englishman

will be calling for more and more

sweets, and the reports of trading for

the first seven months of the present

year bear out this belief. During that

time the total consumption ‘of sugar

for this year was 938,135 tons as com=

pared with 814,837 tons for the same

period in 1921. Thus England alone

will take nearly onehalf of the esti-

mated 225,000 pound surplus. In Italy,

tho, 3. much heavier consumer of sugar

is evident this year and the same trend

is apparent in France and some other

districts of the continent. .



The conclusion is that the sugar sit-

nation_ in Europe cannot be used to

force down prices in this country for

the 1922 output of sugar.





UST as there are a





I few instances in,

‘ Key, each' person’s life that

Days "1 have a far-reaching

F armmq influence 0 v e r his





whole life, so do we

find in each‘ year of any farmer’s work

a few days’ labor that count a hundred-

fold more for success than does the

ordinary daily routine.





Usually these daysndo not come by '





accident. They are key days in the

year’s work. The careful farmer plans

to see that no~ other duties disturb

when it is time to} perform theso all-

important tasks.



On another page of this issue is re-

ported the account 'of VSelecting seed

potatoes for next year’s crop. Days

spent at this type of “work are key

days to the farmer. If he hopes to

accomplish more next year than he did

this year or last year, then he should

count the hours used in the selection

of good seed potatoes, or good seed

corn, as all important.





By working hard, two men possibly

can dig and select a sufficient qfiantity

of potatoes to plant five acres of

ground next year. According to tests

and-observations, it has been found

that the average crop from high-class

seed shows an increase of from twenty

to ninety bushels per acre when com-

pared with a crop grown from ordinary

seed. Men who follow close .culling of

seed year after year areaproducing; ac-

cording to our experts, .' double the

yieldeof potatoes that the common

grower secures.





If this be true, and we have no rea-

son for questioning the conclusions of

these men, then two or three days’

work in the potato field before the reg-

ular crap is dug, may mean ‘nearly as

much in next year’s crop as the entire

labor for 1923 will, accorhplish. ,Uon’t

overlook the key days, Whether you

are growing potatoes, or corn, or cu-

cumbers. They are the days that un-

lock to you the extra yields and add

to the profit side of the ledger.

get good dairy cows at comparatively

small cost. These visitors will not re-

very concretely what has been done.

tle Club has prevailed upon the Leer

Guernsey Breeders’ Association of the

above county to exhibit specimens

showing the improvement that has

been wrought in the dairy herds of

that community through the use or

pure- -bred sires.





One of the outstanding features is

that prior to the year 1909 little or no

effort had been made to,im\prove the

live stock in the Leer community. As

a common practice sires were selected

from their own herds and by that proc-

ess of inbreeding o‘f scrub cattle the

herds were constantly degenerating,

producing as a result, a very inferior

type of scrub cattle, as shown in the

accompanying illustration.



Finally, on May, 22, 1909, as a result

of the untiring efforts of Mr. W. T.

‘ Leer Farmers’ Exfizéztf at Natzona/ Dairy





Exposition Séows How Good

Cow: Mm Produced





By C. O. T. Scheetz





Leer Guernsey Breeders’ Association

was organized with twenty charter

members who subscribed a total of one

hundred thirty cows. A sufficient sum

was raised to purchase three register-

ed pure-bred Guernsey, sires.



Each of the three sires were placed

at the head of a number of herds giv-

ing a total of not less than forty cows

for each group. A breeding fee of one

dollar per cow was charged by the as-

sociation. The funds obtained in that

manner were used to defray the ex.

penses of maintaining the sires and to

assist in replacing sires as it became

necessary to do so. The association

has found that small sum suflicent to

carry on this very fundamental work.





The herds of the association mem-

bers are divided up into three groups

and each sire is used two years in each

group. When the circuit of the groups

has been made by each sire he is then

replaced by another registered pure-

bred ,sire. , During the life of the asso-

ciation to date, eleven different sires

have been used. Each time a new sire

is needed the members insist that only

the best obtainable will do.



The good effects of that practice is

clearly shown by the desirable con-

firmation of the offsp'rings—and the at-

tractive prices that have been received

for the surplus stock which were sold.

As a matter of fact, the temptation to

sell has been so great—as to threaten

the financial affairs of the association,





because of the reduced number of cows '





in the present association.



Here is another influential factor

which has resulted. Each year the as-

sociation has an assembly of their

Guernseys, known as the Leer Guern-

sey Breeders’ Association Fair. At

this time the individuals shown are

classified according to their age and

placed by an expert judge, who like-

wise gives his reason for the placings.

By this measure the members of the

association are constantly kept up to





date and. guided in the selection of

their breedingstock.



Special effort is now being made and

fortunately, the plans are nearly com-

pleted whereby each one of the mem-

bers is going to be the proud owner

of at least one“ pure-bred Guernsey

heifer as a start toward the production

of pure-bred Guernseys instead of all

high-grades.



Furthermore, the organization of a

cow-testing association is likewise

nearly completed so that production

records 'of each individual may be had.



Two pure—bred Guernsey sires are at

the present time owned by the associ-

ation, one of which will accompany

the exhibit to the National Dairy Show.



The exhibit to the National Dairy

Show will consist of a sire known ,as





' Golden Berkshire No. 32039 Whose sire





was Glenwood May King of Ingleside

No. 18265. Dam, Imported Pol] II of

the Nicolles No. 31651. The females

consist of the several following:

A genuine scrub cow (representative

of foundation stock).

One-half blood, named “Rosy.”

Three-fourths blood, named “Daisy.”

Seven-eighths blood, named Dimp-

les.”





Fifteen—sixteenths blood, named

“May.”



Thirty-One thirty-seconds blood,

named “Blossom.”



Unfortunately the only sixty-third





sixty-fourth blood born to date proved

to be a male.



A continued improvement in the cat-

tle is showu by the succeeding gener-

ations, and as a result of the efforts

of the Leer Guernsey Breeders’ Asso-

ciation there are now approximately

twelve hundred grade Guernseys dis-

tributed throughout Alpena county and

neighboring counties.



The officers and directors of the Leer

Guernsey Breeders’ Association at the





present time are as follows: Presi-

dent, William Barsen; secretary-treas-

urer, Neil Bensen; directors, Marton





Barson, Hans Hansen and H. J. Hen-

POTATO EXCHANGE HAS NEW

MANAGER.





 





T the last meeting of the board



of directors of the Michigan Po-

tato Exchange, C. C. Wells, editor of

the organization’s magazine, and aud-

itor of the exchange, was made acting

manager. The resignation of A. B.

Large was accepted at the same meet-

ing. 0. S. Wood, a leading farmer,

banker and cooperator of Mecosta, and

a member of the board of directors,

was appointed to supervise the activ-

ities of the exchange. He will spend

a portion of each week assisting Mr.

Wells.



Few persons are better known

among the potato growers and the co«

operative managers than Mr. Wells.

In his position as editor of the Potato

Growers’ Magazine he was brought in

very close relations with the growers

and as auditor of the books of the

various associations an intimate per-

sonal acquaintance with the manage-

ments of the hundred or more associa-

tions resulted. This, together 'with a

detailed knowledge of the entire busi-

ness and the aid of Mr. Wood, should

place the exchange under very safe

management.





INCREASE LIMIT OF FA‘RM LOANS.





 





HE American Farm Bureau Feder-



, ation is backing the bill to increase

the limit on individual loans made by

the Federal Land Banks, through the

cooperative farm loan associations,

from $10,000 to $25,000. The joint

stock land banks have a loan limit of

$50,000 to any one person.





MUSCLE SH‘OALS NOT DEAD.





 





THERE is a strong probability that

the President will call an extra

'session of congress about November

15, in an attempt to secure action on

the ship subsidy bill; but there is

much doubt that he will be able to'

assemble a quorum in so short a time

after the election.

Whatever may be the primary object

of the President in calling an extr





session, there are several bills that un-r





doubtedly will have precedence over



the ship subsidy. The American Farm



Bureau Federation is confidently pre-



, dieting that the Muscle Shoals propo-



sition will come up first if an extra



session is called. It is‘ out of both



committees and the fight will be on the



' floor of the house and senate. None of



the reports on the proposal except the



one prepared by Senator Ladd in favor



- of accepting the Henry Ford offer has

met with any favor.



’The $7,000,000 appropriation for con-





* (filming the work on the dam at Mus-7.





ole Shoals, which was due to begin

Ostober 1, commits the government to

stile completion of the dam, and nor-





rows the project down to two proposals

——government ownership and operation

or acceptance of the Ford offer, which

means government ownership but gov-

ernment controlled private operation.



Proof is coming to the American

Farm Bureau Federation’s Washington

Office that the people everywhere are

taking great interest in the Muscle

Shoals proposition. There is no legis-

lative proposal now before the public

that is receiving more attention. Many

farm bureaus are sending in resolu-

tions that they have adopted in favor

of the government accepting the Ford

Offer.





MANY LAWS ENACTED.





 





URING its second session, the



sixty-seventh congress enacted

about 300 laws out of 3,498 bills and

358 resolutions in the house, and 1,249

bills and 289 resolutions in the senate.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR AGRICUL.

TURE.





 





PPROPRIATIONS under the budg-



et system are now up for discus-

sion in the department of agriculture

and~ at the farm organizations head-

quarters. It is understood that the

budget officer of the department Of ag-

riculture asked for $129,000,000 for the

next fiscal year, of which $71,000,000

was for roads and $3,000,000 for the

department's building program. The

department is sorely in need of addi-

tional quarters for its constantly ex.

panding activities.

.The department was told that it

could have only $83,000,000. As con-





gress has already authorized the ex-‘





penditure of $66,000,000 for roads, this

would leave only $18,000,000 for the

actual work of the department. The

department is now asking for an ap-

propriation which, exclusive of roads,





Wvould be below $34, 000, 000, about the





same as was appropriated for the pres-

ent fiscal year. ..

KENT GROWERS STUDY POTATO

FIELDS.





 





UCH convincing evidence was

found by the Kent potato growers

during the recent tour Of potato fields

of that county, showing the advantage

in using certified seed. This tour was

planned by County Agent Vining, while

J. W. Weston, potato specialist of the

M. A. C., cooperated in advising the

growers.

0n the farm of John Hammers, near

Rockford, any novice could have told

to the row where plants from common

potato seed left off and those from

certified seed began. The latter had

green tpos, and growth undoubtedly

will continue until killing frosts come.

On the oonimon steak, m tops were

.The hills showed with greater mot-

ness the advantages of the carefully

selected seed. As an example one hill

from a row where certified seed was

used yielded nine merchantable pota-

toes out of ten, while an adjacent hill,

grown from uncertified seed, produced





only four merchantable tubers out of “





twenty. 0n the farm of W. 8. Fowles.

a number of hills were dug in adjOln-

ing rows.

age hill from home-gro n seed gave

three merchantable pOtatoes and four

unmerchantable ones, while the bills

from the certified seed produced an av-





«erage of seven merchantable and four .





unmerchantable.

The work of selecting out the best

hills for growing the coming season’s





‘crop is, in the opinion of Mr. Weston,





the most profitable work that the po-

tato farmer can do. The average in-

crease due to selection of good seed





has been~in the neighborth of ninety '





bushels per acre. Men who have prac-

ticed careful seed selection for the

past three years have doubled their

yields.



A definite plan for seed selection

was presented by Messrs. Weston and

Vining. The plan is to first ”select a

portion of the field where it appears

that the best potatoes are being pro-

duced. From this plot, all diseased

hills which would include those afiect—

ed with wilts, blackleg, curl leaf mo'

sale, and the giant hills should be re-

moved.



After this is done, each remaining

hill Should be dug separately and ar-

ranged so that the potatoes can be

studied in conjunction, with the tops.

From these hills the grower should

choose a number of the, very best to

provide seed for his seed plot the com-

ing year. With these hills removed,

the next step is to take out all the

hills not desired for seed. Those re-

maining should be stored and used for

planting the commercial field next

spring.



As the farmer goes about this work,

his first question will be: “What kind

of a potato do 1 want, and what is the

best type of hill to choose seed from?"

Mr. Weston advised that a hill with

but one vine should have at least four

merchantable’ tubers, one with two

vines at least six, one with three vines

not less than eight, and a four-vine

bill should have at least ten potatoes

fit for market. Tops should be healthy,

vigorous and true to type. The tubers

should run uniform, have a tendency

toward compactness, supplied with

only a few shallow eyes. and having

the stem attached at or near the end

of the tuber, rather than to one side.



This, briefly stated, covers in general

the program offered at the varidus

meeting places in the Kent county

tour. At the majority of places there

was good attendance and a .fine appre-

ciation on the part of farmers of the

work being carried on by Mr. Vining

and the extension department Of‘the

college.

in blasting big stones so they can be

easily handled.





Not only was this greeting spectac-

ular, but it also proved to have a prac-





tical side to it. The results brought

hope to the hearts of many who had

been struggling for years in an attempt

to farm bog land or to make it pos-

sible to work across a low, mucky spot

in some field, or again to clear away

a big boulder.



This staggering ‘wall was shot into

the air through the use of seventy

pounds of fifty per cent nitroglycerin

put up in half-pound cartridges. The

cartridges were planted in holes‘thirty

inches apart along the line of a pro-

posed ditch, which was planned to

shorten the course (if a meandering

stream. The writer returned to the

field of action the following day and

saw the water of this stream singing

along merrily on its course through the

new channel cut by the" blast.





This was only a part of the demon-

stration program mapped out by Mr.

Bolander, agricultural agent for Liv-

ingston county. Having had experi-

ence in the use of explosives in north-

ern Wisconsin, Mr. Bolander was con-

fident that the farmers of Livingston

county and of southern Michigan

would find much to commend this pow-

planted, capped and wired, and that

the big crowds were safely protected

from flying materials.



The task of straightening the creek

was a most difficult undertaking. The

new channel was projected across a

bog filled with springs and underlaid

to some unknown depth with peat and

quicksand. The terrific explosion car-

ried away the great bulk of the muck

and other material which had to be

moved in order to turn the stream in

its new course. There was, (however,

a quantity of loose material which

kept settling back into the channel.

This Twas successfully cleared away,

however, by throwing a temporary dam

across the old channel and raising the

water so it could be forced down the

new ditch. By? constantly stirring the

shallow places with shovels and forks,

it proved to be the work of but a few

hours before practically the entire vol-





‘ume of water had been diverted to





where it was wanted.

A second ditch was built along a

cent nitroglycerin. This was explod.

ed. The immediate results were not

satisfactory, although they may prove

in time to be so. The opinion of the

men having the work in charge is that

they did not’place the charge deep

enough. In the event that this is at-

tempted at a later date, we shall be

glad to give the readers of this journal

a report on results. It is stated that

perhaps fifty per cent of the attempts

at vertical drainage are successful.

The final work of the day was to

show the audience how large stones

can be reduced to handling size. A

boulder some six feet across and near-

ly as many in depth was chosen for

this demonstration. Two pounds of the

same grade of explosive that had been

used on the other work were taken

from the cartridges and laid on top of

the boulder. This was covered with

some of the‘Eartridge paper to keep

the explosive clean. Over the paper

was spread a layer of mud from twelve

roadway which led across this same

marshy field. Here sticks of fifty per

cent nitroglycerin, weighing one—half

pound each, were placed at eighteen-

inch intervals along the course of the

drain. These were buried so the top

of the charge was within about twelve

inches from the surface of the ground.

After being planted, the charges were

capped and’the wires connected. When

the current was turned on, there was

a low rumble followed quickly by a

muffled explosion simultaneously with

Through the coopera-

tion of Mr. Dunk and his farm super-

intendent, C. W. Walters, it was pos-

sible to show some of the things that

could be done with this powerful

agent.

the day Were in the hands of experts

the explosion had done. A ditch aver-

aging from three to three and one-half

feet deep had been cut along the en-

tire course and the debris was thrown

well back from the banks.

to eighteen inches thick. The explosion

which followed the firing of this mate-

rial reduced the stone so that it could

be easily handled. None of the frag-

ments were thrown any unreasonable

distance from wheie the stone had

lain.



Notwithstanding the visitors came

primarily to witness the blasting dem-

onstrations, they also took occasion to

examine several practical ideas used

in equipping this farm and also to

learn of some of the farm management

plans which are being worked out by

Mr. Walters.



The main ba‘rn attracted especial

comment. This was built on a hollow-

tile wall, stable-high, the balloon-frame

type of construction being employed

in the super-structure. Modern steel

stanchions and cement floors, gutters





~and mangers were used in the stables.





Mr. Dunk has learned the value of

alfalfa. Five» years ago this farm was

in a very badly run-down condition,

having been rented over a period of a

quarter of a century previous. He now

has forty-two acres devoted’to alfalfa.

This crop is furnishing the bulk of the

feed for his dairy herd.

of the. cows in turn gives manure for

restoring additional acres each year to

profitable production.





The farmers were highly pleased

with the day’s outing. Mr. Dunk very

kindly furnished about fifteen hundred

of the visitors with lunch, which, by

the way, was served in the dairy stable

and may it be said that so far as we

could observe, every person appeared

to have an unusually good appetite and

enjoyed the service.



We confidentially believe that the

success of. the day is the beginning of

a. general program looking toward the

recovery of many waste acres t5 agri-

culture through the use of modern ex-

plosives, and for this we are to thank

Mr. Bolander for his faith in this kind

of land reclamation, Mr. Dunk for his

MUST HAVE A'FENCE. /.





 





My farm is on the bank of a river.

{This river is the dividing line of all

farms along it. I do not, keep any

stock, but the farmer adjoining 0n the

opposite side keeps large numbers of

.cows and young cattle. Am I liable for

maintenance of fenCe to turn his

stock? The high water every spring

carries oi the fence. In this case

would the river be regarded as a pub-

lic highway and fenced accordingly?

-— J. E.



If there is no line fence established

between the separate properties each

man is bound to keep his stock at

home at his peril. Wherefore, it mat-

ters not whether the river be regarded

as a highway. The river would not be

regarded as a fence unless it were ex-

pressly so established by the fence





viewers—Rood.





WHO OWNS THE FENCE?





 





I gave the farmer adjoining me

eighty rods of woven wire fence, four

and one-half feet high. Does the state

fence laws compel me to take the

stump end of a poorly constructed

fence that extends from two to three

feet on 'my land ?—E. C.





The law recognizes a stump fence

as a legal fence if properly construct-

ed, and it should be built so that the

center is on the line. I know of no

decisions entitling either party to

claim the butt end of the fence. Five

or six feet is not too wide for such a

fence—Rood.





TRESPASSING ON SHORE LINE.





 





I am living close to Lake HUIOD.

There is a road leading to the lake,

but property on each side of the road

is owned by private parties. I stepped

on the beach in front of one man’s

property and was told to keep off. He

said he owned to the channel bank of

the lake, which must be out a mile.

The other party has a barbed wire

fence running into the lake. How





 





much of the beach does he own? Does

he own the water? His property is

about thirty feet above the beach. Is





it lawftul for other party to set up a





barbed wire fence? I was not under

the impression that bOdies of water,

such as navigable lakes, were private

property.—R. E. W.



The owner'of the landhas exclusive

right to the usexof the beach! and to

exclusive use of the bed of the river

for one mile out for fishing purpOSes.

Anyone trespassing upon the bed of

the lake within this distance is liable

to him civilly but he has no right to

do any act interfering with public nav-

igation—Rood. - _





HOGS IN POOR‘CONDITIO'N.





 





Could you tell me what is the mat-

ter with my hogs? They are one year

old and have only a few teeth. They

do not eat as they should and are

quite thin. They have never been out

to grass and have been kept in the

barnyard, though I have given them

bran and ground feed besides the corn,

but they do not seem to care for the

corn grid do not eat it as they should.

—N. .





The trouble with your hogs is very

largely the management. Hogs one

year old that have never been out to

grass but have been compelled to sub-

sist largely on corn are doing well to

be alive. The hog is an omnivorous

feeder by nature, and suffers seriously

when compelled to subsist on cereals

alone. Such feeds lack bulk or volume

essential to healthy, vigorous, diges-

tive action. If pigs have had ample

range with plenty of forage and min-

eral matter during the growing period,

they may be confined closely for six

to eight} weeks and fed on grain alone

with good results. But where close

confinement is necessary for a longer

period it is imperative that we approx-

imate natural conditions as closely as

possible. The addition of good, bright

clover or alfalfa hay, all the hogs will

tion as may be supplied in charcoal,

ination of parasites, internal and ex-

ternal, should there be any such, and

will see that the corn ratiOn is bal—

anced by the addition of - a sixtyper

cent protein tankage at the rate of

one pound to nine pounds of corn; he

should soon be able to see results.

A careful study of the anatomy of

the hogs will no doubt indicate that

the hogs in question have all the teeth

they are supposed to have—P. P. P.





 





CREAM NOT THICK.





 





The cream is not thick enough on

the milk I sell. Always has been until

the last five weeks. My herd consists

of GuernSeys, Jerseys, Shorthorns, Hol-

steins. Had a sample of milk tested

at the creamery. It tested 4.3 per

cent, which I_ call good. After a bottle

sets for twenty-four hours it does not

look as if the cream was all out of the

milk. Cows are all tuberculin-tested.





The milk is thoroughly cooled in flow-_





ing well as soon as milked. Ration

consists of corn ensilage, alfalfa hay,

a dairy ration mixed with corn and

cats at the rate of three and one-half

dairy ration, to one and one-half

oats, equal parts. ,How much salt

should I feed a day to each cow? I

feed about one tableSpoon to eac cow

every morning on top of ensil .—

W. C. R.



The trouble you are experiencing is

probably not due to feed, in fact, there

is very little reason to believe that

feed has anything to do with it.



The cream in milk from cows that

are nearly dry does not separate quite

as readily as that from fresh cows;

however, this is probably not the rea-

son for complaint you are experiencing

from your customers. Temperature at

which milk is kept from the time that





eat, together with a liberal supply of‘





 





it_is drawn from the cow until need.

will determine more than anything else

the degree of separation of the milk

and cream. The higher temperature

at which milk is kept the longer it

takes to separate by gravity. Your

customers may, not be keeping the milk

under ideal conditions to promote sop;-

arating of milk and cream. You should

experience little difficulty if the milk

isthoroughly cooled after milking and

then is kept at atemperature of fifty

degrees F. or below until used. ,4





.A tablespoonful of salt may be fed

twice daily if desired, but if salt is

accessible to the cows when they are

turned out to drink, probably you are

feeding a sufficient amount2‘-_

are feeding one tablespoon "

morning—J. A. W.





 

 





MAKING'A NEW ROAD.





 





I- am writing you in regard to a new

road and how to get it worked. It was

surveyed and about $100 worth of work

put on it, and now if I ask them to do

some work on it the town board saye

there is no money to spend on it. i

would like to know just what steps to

take to force a road through—J. E. T.





Concerning the right to compel the

township board to expend money upon

the improvement of a certain road,

would advise that the provision of the

Statute found in Sec. 11, Chap. 2, reads

as follows:



“It shallbe the duty of the highway

commissioner to see that all highways

and bridges are kept in reasonable rec

pair and in condition reasonably safe

and fit for public travel. ”



This provision if called to the atten-

tion of the highway commissidnel‘,

would warrant and justify his fixing

the road so that it will be in a condi—

tion reasonably safe and fit for public

travel, which apparently is not the

case at present.





A Farmchccs the Grand Rapids Fair





Some oftée T fling ”/éz'cfl Impressed. Our ' Correspondent





peratures greeted the people



when they attended the West

Michigan Fair at Grand Rapids. The

attendance was above the average; not

a record breaker, but ‘quite satisfac-

tory.



The exhibition was also above the

average, one that western Michigan

can well be proud of. All departments

were well filled and the quality of the

various exhibits on the whole was nev-

er better. Everybody expects the fruit

exhibit at Grand Rapids to be excel—

,lent, because West Michigan is in the

favored fruit belt, and they were not

disappointed. No greater variety nor

better quality of fruit Can be found

anywhere. Many exhibits were simply

superb. The same can be said in a

general way of all departments. It

was a good show.



One person says, “Oh! it is the same

old fair. No different from the rest.”

Yes, and no. All agricultural .fairs

must necessarily be much alike. It

can’t be otherwise. The same can be

said of almost anything. It is the same

old school, the same old church ser-





C LEAR skies and delightful tem-





w‘vice, the same old-business of anykind. »

could you have a schoOl and not '





, ~Ho’

"Phat e it much like the school. of last

‘syea or the schools of many yea-rs past.

{You w uld not want to if you could, .

,becaase it would not be a school if it

was .‘n‘ot much like the rest. It is the





 





 

 





same with church service or with an

agricultural fair. The main features

are much the same. They can not be

changed. Experience has proven that

this is best, and yet it is evident that

each fair is different. Each has an

individuality of its own.



No, it was not the same old fair. It

was a brand new fair, exhibiting brand

new, wealth fresh from the soil, the or-

chard and the feed lot. What is an

agricultural fair for? To compare the

products from different farms and soils

and neighborhoods; to display new va-

rieties and methods and stimulate

greater excellence in production. The

farmer is more interested in this phase

of the subject than anyone else, and

has always profited by the lessons he

has learned.



People not directly interested in op-

erating a farm for a living are inter

ested in agricultural fairs because they

show the resources of the great basic





industry of agriculture. Business men

and professional men visit fairs be

cause it helps them visualize the im-

portance of different branches of agri-

culture. Any business or professional

man visiting the Grand Rapids Fair

would rightly conclude that horticul-

ture was a leading branch of’ agricul-

ture in western Michigan. The rela-

tive importance of this branch was well

brought out in the magnitude and char—

acter of the exhibit. Take the exhibits

of apples by individual orchardists and

one would draw the conclusion at once

that apples are grown in an extensive

commercial way» So the exhibition of.

poultry which was extensive and show-

ed superior quality would convince any

business man of the importance of this

industry in that vicinity.



But again this business man calls to

his mind facts that ordinarily are dor-

mant. He may know in a general way

of the great.importance of dairying,

HE seed specialist at the New York



.:Experiment Station recommends

that seed corn should be selected in

the field instead of in the shock, or

from the crib next spring.

ing the seed ears from standing plants,

it is possible to get them from healthy

vigorous plants.



He recommends that the seed selec-

tion should begin as soon as the husks

commence to dry. Well developed av-

erage ears should be chosen from

strong, healthy stock. Care should be

taken to avoid loose broken stalks, or

ears that are hanging loose on the

stalk, as this condition is often due to

disease or some inherent weakness.

Seed selected in this way usually

_ contains considerable moisture, and,

therefore, should be thoroughly dried

before freezing Weather sets in. This

can best be accomplished by hanging

the ears in a heated room until well

dried and then storing in a dry place

out of the reach of rats. Ordinary

wire fencing is often used in various

ways to suspend seed ears from the

roof of the storage house.





 





MANURE PRESERVATIVES.





 





A FT‘ER conducting a series of ex-

periments, the New York Experi-

ment Station is recommending the use

of acid phosphate as a manure preserv-

ative. Acid phosphate not only checks

the loss of nitrogen from the manure,

but materially increases its fertilizer

value by supplying the plant food in

which it is deficient. _



Ground rock is also recommended to





By select- '





‘ use with manure and is undoubtedly '





of ~ some value as the source of phos-

phates, but it is practically useless as

a manure preservative as it does not

unite chemically with ”the nitrogen in

the manure, but instead allows it to

escape as ammonia. ‘



These tests show that gypsum caus-

ed— considerable loss of the elemental

nitrogen and added but little to the

fertilizing value of the manure, and,





therefore, cannot be recommended as’





a. desirable material to .use in connec-

tion with manure. Peat is quite effec-





tive in checking nitrogen losses, but is ’5 ’





also difficult to obtain.

tions in many tests throughout the ’ g





state find that the increased produc- .





tion amounted to $11.80 in money val-





ue, or a return of $5.40 for each dollar '





invested.



For a number of consecutive years

they have been applying one hundred

seventy-five pounds of fifteen per cent

acid phosphate per acre. This brought

an increase in, wheat of 5.7 bushels,

and where clover was seeded on the

wheat, the increase in clover hay prod-

ucts was 1,222 pounds per acre.



It is figured that the acid phosphate

costs about two dollars at present pric-

es. With‘ wheat at a dollar per bush-

el, the increased yield would bring

$52-70, and with clover hay at $10 per

ton, the gain in hay production would

amount to $6.10. Thus the two dollars

invested in acid phosphate brought a

profit, of $11.80 per acre.

BRAINS AND ENERGY APPLIED.

Y. In late years you have heard



much talk of mixing brains with

the soil. If ever there was a time when

it was worth while to do some hard

thinking in regard to our work, that

time is here and now.



The farmer is working on very close

margins, and in many instances on no

margin at all. No class of people but

the farmers could ever stand up under

such conditions and still keep going.

The farmer has had a heavy burden to

carry all through the reconstruction so

often thought how

fortunate for the

country that we

had a ’class of

sane, sensible, in-

telligent l e v e l -

farms. They have

been the bone and

sinew of our good

Country and may

indeed have. Saved it from great con-

fusion and disorder. I wonder if in-

stead of harping about our, troubles

and‘ blaming Tom, Dick and Wall

Street for our hard luck, it would not

be better to just be glad that we have

been able to be of real service to our

country in time of need. But it isn’t

enough to “just be glad ” We, the

farmers, still hays a great service to

ducer‘s‘, and it is up to us in a large

" measure, to bring back prosperity to

bur-selves and to our country. '

than ever before, it is essential, if we

would win success, to study the very

best practices in agriculture and apply

them religiously to our job. It is not

the farmer who is contented with anti-

quated methods, with average crops,

with inferior seeds, and with scrub

stock that is going to forge ahead

these days. He will most surely go

the other way. It takes good work all

around now to hold one’s own. The

man who wins out will be the one who

does a superior job.

LEADS TH E C’OU NTRY.





 





N the basis of the showing of the



United States census, Gogebic

county is claiming priority among all

the counties of the United States in

its agricultural growth of the past ten

years. This growth is evidenced even

to the casual observer by the great in-

crease‘of tilled acres, of new, big hip-

ped-roof barns and silos. There is real-

ly a good deal of basis for this en-

thusiasm over its agricultural develop-

ment, as any visitor to the county dur-

ing the past few years Will testify.

The Daily Globe of Ironwood, points

to the hearty cooperation that has ex-

isted in Gogebic county between bus-

iness men and mine officials and the

farmers. It notes that the lumber com-

panies have released large areas of

cut<over lands to actual settlers on

easy terms. The paper states that the

banks have also been always ready to

lend money to purchase pure-bred reg-

istered stock, but the principal credit

is given to the county board of super-

visors, which has a. live agricultural

committee, the county agent asserts,

and which has cooperated liberally

with the county. fair. During the last

year of the war, 1,200 kiddies were

enroned in Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, it

is stated, which, it is claimed, led the

state, and which has resulted in mak-

ing many real farmers, and which has

included State Fair winners. Very lib-

eral prizes have been awarded for

pure-breds exhibited at the county fair,

which numbered 130 in 1921, and were

expected to number 200 in 1922. All

this is regarded as a very good show-

ing for a. county presumed to be devot-

ed primarily to the mining of iron ore.





MICHIGAN PASTURES FOR WEST-

ERN STOCK.‘ -





 





OW cattle breeders and grewers



in the west may be brought into

direct connection with feeders in the

east is receiving no little attention

these days. In this connection the sys-

tem now being practiced by one large

Upper Peninsula firm is of interest.

This firm which operates a large cattle

ranch near Blaney, Schoolcraft county,

previously had large holdings in Ari-

zona. It desired to get closer to the





eastern markets and to abundant sum-

mer pasturage at low cost for grazing

lands. .



In a. report of its operations during





 





the past two years, recently published,





- the company sets forth in some detail





its reasons for thinking that it has

largely solved the problem. The fac-

tors which induced the company to lo

cate in the northern cut-over country

are given thus:

over land was found to be no more,





.or even less, than the rental on the





western range; the weather records

showed an annual rainfall that assured

ample pastures during the summer;

the grazing period was found to be





. equal or greater than in any other sec-





tion of the country during which time

cattle thi‘OVe on flesh-producing grass;

while the ‘soils were good for agricul-

ture in a high degree.



Experience has shown that the graz-

ing of cattle has cleared up the brush

rapidly and got theland in shape fan

the plow. The process of fertilizing

through grazing operations enhances

the value of the land for cropping.



To test their theory, the company

purchased a herd of mixed grades of

cattle numbering 495 head of all ages.

The experiment was tried out first in

1919. The owners came to northern

Michigan with the equipment belong-

ing to a southwestern. cattle-ranch.

The cattle on arrival were in an ema-

ciated condition, the steers weighing

437 pounds, and the cows averaging

005 pounds. After a. rest of ten days

the cattle began to take on flesh, says

the report. The gain continued until

fall,

standing a. northern winter, some of

the old stock succumbed.



In the spring of 1920 the survivors

were again placed in fenced pastures,

on March 20, and they then resumed

putting on flesh throughout the .sum—

mer season. The cattle were sold six-

teen months after arrival. The steers

made an average gain of 407 pounds

per head, and the cows gained 305

pounds. Seven-month-old calves from

some of these cows weighed 397

pounds when marketed.





From this experience the managers

draw the inference that cattle shipped

in from outside points must be kept in

fenced enclosures, that only young,

growingsteers should be handled for

marketing purposes, that provision for

winter feeding should be made so that

cattle may be held until favorable mar-

ket conditions are realized after maxi—

mum growth is attained.



The tract secured by, the company at

Blaney comprised 22,700 acres of hard-

wood land with a strong clay and lime-

stone soil. Most of the tract was cov-

ered withgrass and brush, of which

9,000 acres has been fenced with wov-

en wire fencing. There is'a feed-barn

for winter-feeding of 500 head of cattle.

The two silos have a capacity of 250

tons each. As a last step in this enter.

prise, last year, feeding sheds were

erected at Green Bay, Wisconsin, with

a capacity of 2,500 head, where cattle

from‘the Blaneybranch can be shipped

for finishing off on sugar beet pulp ob

tained from the local factory.



Thus the whole operation consists in

breeding beef cattle on the Arizona

ranch, shipping to northern Michigan

for pasture, and finally to Green Bay

for finishing for the Chicago market.

It is doubtless true that the experience

of this firm will be watched with ln~

terest by beef producers. It‘is too





early to determine definitely what the '





success of ’the enterprise will be.

and ordinary services, is when meas-

ured by prewar prices in the ratio of

one to one and one-half. ‘



In other words, equity would be as

one to one while now one and one-half

measures of farm products must be

used inflexchange and to pay debts,

taxes, etc, when labor-manufactured

goods and services ’con'tribute only one

measure for these purposes.



The problem of the statesman and

economist is to equitably balance these

transactions. Financial writers urge a

pre-war ratio, which would be equita-

ble as regards daily transactions, but

would add to the burden of taxation,

interest and principal of debts public

and private contracted during the pe-

riod of war prices.



Deflation. of wages for railway and

coal' mining operations has been indefi-

nitely postponed. Resistance being too

great by organized labor. Business in

cities favors high wages which allows

payments for high rent, fuel and fam—

ily expenditures. In fact, the present

scale of wages must be maintained or

the standard of living reduced.



The adoption of the present tariff

means added duties and a standard of

prices [distinctly American on goods

which we import. While the farm

schedule‘is satisfactory the grains, tex-

tiles and meat products are not visibly

affected where the surplus is exported.

A review of the whole situation leaves

agricultural products at a European

price reduced to our monetary value,

while other products are accorded an

American standard of priCe maintained

by strong organizations and govern-

mental action;



Deflation has been halted as to in-

dustries in general at one hundred and

fifty per cent pre-war, while agriculture

is quite nearly at pre-war levels, with

no immediately feasible plans for its

reestablishment on an equitable parity.

Waterways would be helpful, but

these are remote. Credit plans merely

defer the time of agriculture’s break-

down if the present ratio of compensa-

tion for services continues. _Since the

‘war, crops have been abundant and the

farmer’s contribution to the world’s

wealth has increased beyoud that of

other industries, yet with diminished

returns in money. Exports of farm

products, while less than during the

period of war, those for 1921 and thus

far in 1922 exceeds the average of 1909

to 1913. Our export trade reached the

peak in pre-war times at. $2,465,000,000

while 1921 exports were $2,600,000.000.

be ascribed our agricultural depres-

sion. One of therside lights on the ex-

port trade has been the adequate pric-

es paid for pork products. Pork is

largely a corn product and while the

latter is low, pork has exceeded Hoov-

er's price formula of thirteen to one

by a safe margin. For the year ending

June 30, 1922, we exported 165,000,000

bushels of corn. This was three times

the volume of the previous year, but

only twice "the, mOney return owing to

lower prices. “ '

ion last year, but the export trade took

500,000,000 gallons as against approxi~

mately 600,000,000 in the same period

of 1921. The point to these figures is

that strongly held products are paid

for. in EurOpe at adequate prices to the

great gain'bf the Arnerican producer.

Those products equally or more essen-

tial-to'Iife are not. paid for atthe same

rate, and they are not in. strong hands.

Volume, to the exporter and transport-

er, is of more importance afid'ofigreat-

er gain when the reduced price. is

home by the producer. .



.There is no need ’of argument to

show that agriculture is depressed and

with ”it other industries. - The Ameri-

can Chamber of Commerce map shows

an area of less than five per cent good

business and in much ,of the United

States genuinely unfavorable condi«

tions exist. There is also a. disposition

to deal fairly with agriculture and re-

store the farmer’s purchasing power

if a way could be found.



Wheat, corn and meats are the key

products of the middle west, while cot-

ton and tobacco are those of the south.

The United States exports the surplus

of these products and these can re-

ceive little benefit from a tariff act. It

is indisputable that as long as these

key products are sold at a price below

cost of production, basic industriahcon-

ditions cannot improve. There should

not be forced on the farmer the neces-

sity of curtailed production which will

naturally come about without any or-

ganized effort, thus lessening products

below an export basis.



A Suggestion.



A proposed plan would be for the

United States to organize an export

corporation to ship mainly the' key

products, but not exclusively. The nec-

essary capital to be loaned to this body

by the United States, while contrary

to general principles, the emergency

is so great and there is no farm or-

ganization sufficiently strong that gov-

ernmental action is at the present time

imperative. Europe needs foodstuffs

and raw material. The allied war debt

to the United States is a doubtful as-

set and a cause of financial uncertainty

and friction: ,



It is the varying and low rate of ex-

change with our late allies that renders

trading uncertain and hazardous. Let

thé export corporation credit the dif-

ference in exchange on the various

war debts‘ and re-establish trade rela-

tions by what to the import nations

would be a bounty. The export cor-





poration would accept the English_





pound sterling at $4.86, or par, while

it is now worth about $4.44, and credit

the, importer by giving him a certifi-

cate against his nation’s debt to the

United States government. This would

be equivalent to an advance of around

ten per cent. The French franc is

worth only about eight cents- and

should be at par at- nineteen cents.



There would be limitations in cer-

tain instances, but the United States

would be converting a doubtful asset

into a. basis for a real business revival,

and restOre .the lost purchasing power

of the farmer. ,- , ,



England is on record in favor of for

giving its. debtors as it is forgiven.

The application. of this trading plan

would prObably allow England and

France to re-exp‘ort into other coun~

tries at a; good margin of prOflt. 7 Our

* SmalliPotatoes for Seed





HE potato specialist of the Geneva,



New York, Experiment. Station,

says that small potatoes from healthy,

vigorous stock are just as good for

seed purposes as pieces of large tubers

from the same plants. Careful tests

have shown that the yield of market-

able tubers from the small whole seed

potatoes exceeded that from the pieces





of larger potatoes from the same plant ~





by almost seventeen bushels per acre.

It seems, therefore, that the disadvan-





. tages 'of the: whole small potato seed





have been overestimated. ,

This potato expert says that when a

special seed' crop has been maintained





_and all the diseased plants carefully





removed, there ,is no reason why the





. small potatoes in the plot will not give

‘ as good results as the pieces of the

' larger ones. Of course, the continued

TARIFF COST PER SUIT.





 





A MEMBER of the Missouri Agricul-



tural College has investigated

what effect the wool tariif should have

on the increased cost of clothing. He

found that it takes three and a half





mal sized outfit. To make this cloth

would require 9.8 pounds of half-blood

wool in its original state. The net

price to the grower for this amount

of wool, according to the 1921 clip

price, which-was twenty cents per

pound, would be1$1.96. Therefore, even

if the ad valorem duty of fifty per cent

was-charged in tarifl duty on the’wool





less than a dollar.

There’s the spOt

that tells the tale!





How every portion of the meat can have the

same flavor—natural color and fine texture





Only with an instantly and completely dissolving

salt can you cure meat perfectly. No other kind will

go right to the heart of the meat and give the whole

piece an even cure. Salt of hard granular crystals or

flakes, is slow dissolving and forms a salt crust that

is merely wasted and performs no work. With the

cost of salt so small you can't afford to risk possible

spoilage of your meat.





Colonial Special Farmers Salt is the only salt of soft, porous

flaky texture that "melts like a Hake of snow"—instantly and

completely. lt's this porous texture in these flakes that brings

out all the meat flavor, preserves the natural color and

keeps the meat firm and tender.

HEAVY GRAPE cRop.





 





IT is estimated in the Paw Paw-Law-



ton grape district that Michigan’s

production of grapes this year will'be

five times greater than that of a year

ago. It is expected that the yield this

year will amount to 104,500,000 pounds,

or about 5,500 'carloads. The shipping

season is in full swing with the Con-

cord variety predominating. There are

also quite a few Niagaras, the leading

green variety, and Delewares the most

popular red kind. Because of the heavy

supplies, prices are- considerably lower

than last year. Five and a half pound

baskets are retailing at twenty—seven

to thirty cents, whereas the wholesale

price last year was forty-five to forty-

eight cents for the same size package.





FRUIT AND GARDEN NOTES.





 





HE Seckel pears are very fine this



year and a very desirable variety

for home use. All the trees in the

home orchard prove their value, even

in years when fruit is abundant. When

peaches are rotting in the fruit belt

we find them $2.00 a bushel at the

stores in our section. Other fruits are

priced in proportion and it is a pleas-

ure to ‘fill up the bulk of the shelves

with fruit from the small home or-

chard. _



Our Chinese cabbage turned out very

fine this year, and proved a great sal-

ad plant. We liked them better than

the ordinary cabbage for fall use be-

cause of the mild flavor. " Later the

regular varieties 'of cabbage will come

in handy as they are the best keepers.



Swiss Chard has been one of the

standbys for salad during the summer

and fall. During .the last week of Sep-

tember it is still growing luxuriantly

and the leaves are tender. We have

canned two dozen pint cans of the

chard in tin and believe it will prove

of great value in the winter menu.



Our steampressure cooker and can

sealer have just about doubled the cash

value of our vegetable garden this

year. We have canned things we nev-

er canned before and saved other crops

in a way that will make them quickly

usable next winter. Nothing has gone

to waste and canning has been much

less work than with the old-fashioned

equipment.



It pays to label a box, f‘Garden

Seed,” and fill that box with label-

ed envelopes. Then save as much

home-grown seed as you need when the

various varieties mature. Dry the seed

that needs drying on newspapers with

the edge of the paper containing the

name of the variety. Place the seed

box where the seed will keep dry and

away from mice. It will save several

dollars next spring whenit is time to

place the gardenseed order.



-When saving homegrown Seed it

pays to select it from thrifty plants

which have been allowed" to grow for

that purpose alone. Sometimes failures

with home-grown seed may have been





due. to picking the seed from plants.

Save a few of the best heads of sun-

flowers. We pick them from the tall-

est (and stoutest stalks with the largest

heads that are well filled with plump

seed. The heads are thoroughly dried

and then shelled out in a. large box

where they can be stirred occasionally

to prevent mould.

last year. There are flfty~four acres

at Ryerson Creek,twenty-one acres at

Four Mile Creek, twenty-three acres at

North Muskegon, twelve acres at Bear

During the past week some fields have

developed blight, and the present cons





‘ditfon is about eighty per cent of nor-





mal. This section grows two crops,

summer and fall. The early crop is

White Plume and the late crop is most-

ly Golden Self-Blanching. It is esti-

mated that from seventy to seventy-

five per cent of the crop has been har~

vested.



Ottawa county has an increase of

eighty acres over last year. The esti-





mated acreages at various points are





as follows: Hudsonville, 510; Vries‘

land, 175; Zeeland, 143; Grand Haven,

85; Holland, 36; Jenison, 31. A few

fields are affected with blight, but no

serious damage is apparent. The av~

erage condition for the county is 95

per cent.

‘ The condition in Kent county is

eighty per cent, considerable blight be‘

ing present. About two-thirds of the

acreage here is grown as a fall crop.

The number of fields in Allegan county

affected with blight is less than in

Kent county. The condition is placed

at ninety per cent. /

The 1,040 acres in Kalamazoo county

is located as follows: Kalamazoo, 600;

Portage, 250 ;._ Comstock, 19,0. ' At Kal-

amazoo, the condition is seventy~five

per cent of normal, being reduced by





blight and insufficient moisture. At.





Portage and Comstock, there has been

very little blight and ample moisture.



Kalamazoo county grows a summer

and a fall crop. The Kalamazoo sec-

tion has shipped about twenty-five per

cent more to date than to the corres-

ponding date last year.



Approximately two-thirds of the Van

Buren county crop is shipped in the

rough each year. The condition is

ninety-five per cent of normal. A sim-

ilar condition was found in Cass

county.





Onions—The four leading commer»





cial producing counties are estimated

to have a total acreage of 1,243 dis-

tributed as follows: Allegan, 600;

Kent, 225; Ottawa, 213; Van Buren,

205. In Allegan county, 550 acres is in

the Gun Swamp section. The Ottawa

county acreage is distributed as fol-

lows: H‘udsonville, 100; Zeeland, 65;

'Vriesland, 40; Holland, eight acres.



Excellent yields are promised in

nearly all sections. The average for

Ottawa county willl be around 500 bush-

els per acre, and the other counties

will produce about 475 bushels ‘per

To FIGHT CORN BORER.





 





HE Canadian entomologists are im-



porting certain species of ants and

wasps from Austria to keep the Euro-

pean corn borer in control.



In its native land, the corn borer

does little damage, because it has two

hundred different species of natural

enemies to- contend with, while in Can-

ada it has only nine enemies to com-

bat. The wasps and ants which prey

upon the corn borer in, Austria are not

common in this country, but the ento-

mologists hope that by nursing them

through the winter they will survive in

sufficient numbers here to have consid-

erable effect on the borer.





FREIGHT CUT AFFECTS MICHIGAN

, POTATO GROWERS.





 





TCHIGAN potato growers got a '





jolt when the Central Trade As-

sociation put into effect an emergency

freight rate on potatoes: from the Red

River Valley district to Cincinnati and

surrounding markets. This Will enable

shippers-from Minnesota and Dakota

to put their potatoes on the markets

south of here at considerably less than

the Michigan shippers can.

_ The reason why this big cut in rates





_was made was to give the farmers





of the Red River district an opportu-

nity to market their crop and thus

avoid financial embarrassment. This

reduced rate ,will dump a large crop

from the Minnesota distriCt onr mar-





kets which were usually Michigan’s, at .





prices which Michigan growers cannot

compete with.



The rate from the Red River district

to Cincinnati is still higher than that

from the Michigan territory to that

market, but the Red River farmers

grow from four to five hundred bushels

per acre" on new land and can take

twenty-five cents per hundredweight





and still make money. Michigan grow-





ers producing a, hundred bushels per

acre cannot do-~~this, but they must

come down to meet prices on the Red

Riverproduct, otherwise they will not

be able to sell on these markets.





COUNTY PLANS REFORESTATION.





 





CENT county has a reforestation





committee of the board of super- ’





visors which with the county road com-

mission is planning the first step in

the reforestation in that county. The





”road commission will ask the board of.

supervisors for a thousand dollars to '





be expended for young trees to plant

along the roadside. Five hundred dol-

lars will also be asked for the purpose

of establishing seedling beds on coun-

ty- -owned property.



There are some thoughts of compen-

sating the farmer who sincerely at~

tempts reforestation by reducing the

tax assessment on his property, in-





stead of increasing it as has commonly





been the custom when a man had a

good piece of timber on his farm.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing .for other





' counties to follow Kent county’s lead?

.............................





Fer forty- five years dairymen have struggled with hard-

turning cream separators. Excessive friction caused them

much trouble 1n the hand operationof the machines. Now

the cream separator engineers Of the Harvester Company,

with this problem constantly' 1n mind, and the satisfaction of

the operator at stake, have designed and constructed a Ball-

Bearing Primrose Cream Separator which reduces the power





In this latest Primrose, the ball bearings are located at

points where the resistance is greatest in the opera-

tion of all makes of cream separators.





The Ball-Bearing Primrose is in no sense an

experiment. It has been tested and proved a re-

markable improvement in the hands of thousands

of farmers and dairymen in New York, Wisconsin,

California, Minnesota, and other dairy sections of

the United States. The unanimous decision of all

users is that it represents a development which has

long been needed, especially in territory where

large machines are in’ use, and where more would

be profitably used were it not for the hard turning

of the plain-bearing machines.





The International Harvester Company’s broad

and liberal guarantee stands solidly, behind this 5

product. Primrose deserves its high reputation, not '

only for its recovery of the greatest amount of but- :

ter fat when operated as instructed, but for its

ability to do so with less labor.





The Ball-Bearing Primrose is one of the products

in the McCormick-Deering line of farm operating

store of your McCormick-Deering dealer. Write

Results





UITE often it happens that two

Qsimilar sets working under’al-



most identical conditions, give

entirely different results. For instance,

you and your neighbor have both pur-

chased the same type of receiving set

and installed them in your homes. You

both put up aerials of about the same

length and height and naturally expect

that you will both get about the same

results. But your neighbor hears some

stations clearly that you have never

been able to pick up, and you hear

. others that he‘has never heard.

' Such peculiarities are strange indeed

and often difficult to explain, though

in such a case as this it is‘ probably

due to the so-called “directional effect”

of the two aerials. An aerial run in

one direction with just the right slant

will receive best from one way, while

if the slant is reversed it may receive

best from just the other‘way. It is

seldom that the “directional effect” of

an aerial is sufficient to cause a notice-

able difference in the strength of sig-

nals coming from different directions,

although it has been found that some-

times an aerial may be so decidedly

directional that it will not receive from

one way at all.



in other cases your neighbor may

hear everything within a radius of five

hundred miles, while you have diffi-

culty hearing stations seventy-five or

one hundred miles away. If the aerials

are nearly the same and equally free

from surrounding trees and buildings,

you will probably decide that your set

is no good. But If the apparatus is of

a standard make it is usually well test-

ed and guaranteed to be 0. K. before

it leaves the factory. It you and your

neighbor try interchanging your sets

you can soon tell whether the trouble

is in the set itself or in the aerial sys-

tem. If the apparatus is at fault it

should be returned to the manufacturer

for adjustment and repairs. It the

aerial system is at fault you will prob-

ably be able to remedy the difficulty

yourself, although not necessarily so.

If the whole aerial is well insulated,

the joints well soldered, and the

ground connection well made, you have

done all you can to make it work prop-

erly and if you are still unable to hear

. all that you should it is possible that

your aerial is located in a “dead hole.”



“Dead holes” are areas, widely scat-

tered over the country, which vary in

size from one or two square rods to

fifty or sixty square miles, and which

seem to be almost impenetrable by

radio waves. Frequently such “holes”

are found in the heart of a large city

or near a mountain which contains

large deposits of iron ore. A ship goes

through a dead hole when it passes un-

der Brooklyn bridge.



In these cases the “hole” is undoubt-

edly caused by the presence of huge

masses of iron, but in other cases the

cause is not at all apparent. There are

several “dead spots” on the Great

Lakes and a ship passing into one of

these is temporarily out off from com-

munication with outsiders. Signals

whichcame in with volume suddenly

become unreadable, then as soon as

the ship passes out of the area they

come back loud again and communica-

tion can be resumed.



If it is your misfortune to be located

in such a “hole” there is nothing you

can do to remedy the trouble except

move out. But make very certain that

. that is the trouble before giving it as

the «reason for poor results, for there!





.i are many other things which may»





.1; cause the set to work poorly.

What Has Happened So Far:





After the death of Thornton Fair-

child, an aged miner of Cripple-creek

district, Robert Fairchild, his _, son,

I From this he learns





his possession, but nothing of the mys-





g’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

old friend, seems to hold





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

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. After consideration it is

rejected and mining operations are put

into full swing.





‘But We can't take it, Harry. In my

father’s letter was the statement that

he made only one mistakew—that of

fear. I’m going to believe him-—-and

in spite of what—I find here, I'm going

to hold him innocent, and I’m going to

be fair and square and aboveboard

about it all. The world can think

what it pleases—about him and about

me. There’s nothing on my conscience

—and I know that if my father had not

made the mistake of running away

when he did, there would have been

nothing on his.”



Harry shook his head.





“ ’E couldn’t do much else, Roy. Ro-

daine was stronger in some ways then

than he is now. That was in different

days. That was in times when Squint

Rodaine could ’ave gotten a ’undred

men together quicker’n a cat’s wink

and lynched a man without ’im‘ 'aving

a trial or anything. And if I’d been

your father, I’d ’ave done the same as

’9 did. I’d ’ave run too—’e’d ’ave paid

for it with ’is life if ’e didn’t, guilty or

not guilty. And—” he looked sharply

toward the younger man—«“you say to

go on?” .



“Go on,” said Fairchild, and he spoke

the words between tightly clenched

teeth. Harry turned his light before

him, and once more shielded it with

his big hand. A step—two, then:



“Look—there~—over by the foot-

"wall!"





\ .





Fairchild forced his eyes in the di-

rection designated and stared intently.

At first it appeared only like a suc-

cession 'of disjointed, broken stones,

lying in straggly fashion along the

footwall of the drift where.it widened

into the stope, or upward slant on the.

vein. Then, it came forth clearer, the

thin outlines of something which.

clutched at the heart of Robert Fair.

ed him to fight down a sudden, panicky

If hie Farmeria' Quit Farmin ’

By Mrs. Nellie Fowler





If the farmer’d quit his farmin’,

Never plow the warm dark ground,

Where all them good pertaters

An' the 'baggies rlch are found,





if the wheat would cease its wavin',

An' the corn would cease to grow,



Jest tell me what would happen,

I’d really like to know.





If the farmer’d go a-fishin'

Or some other pleasure seek,

Throwin’ down his hoe an' shovel,

An' be gone off by the week;





If he’d say, “I'm done with farmin’,

I'll not plant another seed.

I'm sick an’ tired of the whole blamed

business,

I’ll not pull another weed."





Let his hay, an’ oats an’ barley

All grow up to thistlcs tall,



An’ the beets, an’ beans, an' kaffir,

H‘h'd not cultivate at all.





Now, be honest, could you blame him?

For his farm he's payin' twice;



For the suit he bought last winter

An’ the shoes he’s payln’ thrice.





Taxes, clothin’, flour, sugar,

Everythlng he has to buy——- ’

Harness, wagon, gasand binders,

Are a'—most tremendous high.





But—when he takes his hogs to market

An’ that splendid slick veal calf,

“Hogs are off today," they tell him,

“You’re in luck," they guy and laugh.

But—oh, mister, that there same

- feller

Wouldn’t he cuss, an' kick his feet?

“I wonder what that crazy farmer





Thinks that we're a-goin’ to eat."





Jest, let the farmer quit his farmin’,

Should he git that in his head——



I can tell you what} would happen,

Everybody'd soon be—dead.

bony feet; a huddled, cramped skele-

ton of a human being!



They could only stand and stare at

it—-— this reminder of a tragedy of a

quarter of a century agone. Their lips





refused to utter the words that strove ~





to travel past them; .they were two

men dumb, dumb through a discovery

which they had forced themselves to

face, through a fact which they had

hoped against, each more or less

silently, yet felt sure must, sooner or

later, come before them. And now it

was here.



And this was the reason that tWenty

years before Thornton Fairchild, white,

grim, had sought the aid of Harry and

of Mother Howard. This was the rea-

Then, while Fairchild stood motion-

less and silent, the big Cornishman

forced himself forward, to stoop by

the side of the heap of bones which

once had represented a man, to touch

gingerly the clothing, and then to bend

nearer and hold his carbide close to

some object which Fairchild could not

see. At last he rose and with old,

white features, approached his partner.



“The appearances are against us,”

came quietly. “There’s a ’ole in ’is

skull that a jury’ll say was made by

a. single jack. It’ll seem like some one

’ad killed ’im, and then caved in the

mine with a box of powder. B‘ut ’e’s

can’t defend ’imself. We’ve got to

“Maybe'—" Fairchild was grasping a





the final straw-—.-“maybe it’s .not the i -





person we believe it to be at all- It

might be somebody else—who had

come in here and set. of! a charge of

powder by. accident. and—~” '



But the shaking of Harry's head stif-

led the momentary ray of ‘hope.



“No. I looked. There was a watch

——all covered with mold and mildewed.

name inside!”





CHAPTER XIY.

Court Action is Begun.





GAIN there was a longpmoment of



silence, while Harry stood pawing

at his mustache and while Robert Fair-

child sought to summon the strength

to do the thing which was before him.

It had been comparatively easy to

make resolutions while there still was

hope. ‘ It was a far different matter

now. All the soddenness of the old

days had come back to him, ghosts

which would not be driven away; mem-

ories of a time when he was the grub-

bing, thou'gh willing slave of a victim

of fear—of "a man whose life had been

wrecked through terror of the day





when intruders would break their way





through the debris, and when the dis-

covery would be made. And it had re-

mained for Robert Fairchild, the son,

to find the hidden secret, for him to

come upon the thing which had caus-

ed the agony of nearly thirty years of

suffering, 'for him to face the alterna-

tive of again placing' that gruesome

find into hiding, or to square his shoul-

ders before the world and take the

consequences. Murder is not an easy

word to hear, whether it rests upon

one’s own shoulders, or upon the mem-

cry of a person beloved. And right

now Robert Fairchild felt himself sag-

ging beneath the weight of the accu-

sation.



But there was no time to lose in mak-

ing his .decision. Beside him stood

Harry, silent, morose. Before him—

Fairchild closed his eyes in an attempt

to shut out the sight of it. But still it

was there, the crumpled heap of tat-

tered clothing and human remains, the

awry, heavy shoes still shielding the

fleshless bones of the feet. He turned

blindly, his hands groping before him.



“Harry,” he called,'“Harry! Get me

out of here——I-——can’t stand it!”



Wordlessly the big man came to his

side.» Wordlessly they made the trip

back to the hole in the cave-in and

then followed the trail of new-laid

track to' the shaft. Up——up——the trip

seemed endless as they jerked and

nel, ‘Robért Fairchild stood fer a long‘





» tMe staring Out over the soft hills and ‘

the radiance of the snowy range, far





away. It gave him a new strength, a

new determination. The light, the sun-

shine, the soft- outlines of the scrub

pines in the distance, the freedom and

openness of the mountains seemed to

instill into him a courage he could not

feel down there in the dampness and

darkness of the tunnel. His shoulders

surged, as though to shake off a great

weight. His eyes brightened with res-

olution. Then he turned to the faithful

Harry, waiting .in the background.



“There’s no use trying to evade any-

thing, Harry. We‘ve got to face the

music. Will you go with me to notify

the coronerr—or would you rather stay

here?”



"i’ll go.”



Silently they trudged into town and

to the little undertaking shop which

also served as the office of the cor-





oner. They made their report, then .





accompanied the officer, together with

the sheriff, back to the mine and into

the drift. There once more they clam-

bered through the hole in the cave-in

and on toward the beginning of the

stope. And there they pointed out their

disdovery.



A wait for the remainder of that day

—a day that seemed ages long, a day

in which Robert Fairchild found him-

self facing the editor of the Bugle, and

telling his story, Harry beside him.

But he told only what he had found,

nothing of the past, nothing of the

white-haired man who had waited by

the window, cringing at the slightest

sound on the 'old, vine-clad veranda,

nothing of the letter which he had

found in the dusty safe. Nothing was

asked regarding that; nothing could be

gained by telling it} In the heart of





- Robert Fairchild was the conviction





that somehow, some way, his father

was innocent, and in his brain was a

determination to fight for that inno-

cence as long as it was humanly pos-

sible. But gossip told what he did not.



There were those who remembered

the departure of Thornton Fairchild

from Ohadi. There were others who

recollected perfectly that in the center

of the rig was a singing, maudlin man,

apparently “Sissie” Larsen. And they

asked questions. They cornered Harry,

they shot queries at him one after an-

other. But Harry was adamant.



“I ain’t got anything to eye! And

there’s an end to it!”



Then, forcing his way past them, he

crossed the street and went up the

worn steps to-the little office of Ban-

dolph P. Farrell, with his grinning

smile and his horn-rimmed glasses,

there to tell what he knew—-and to ask

advice. And with the information the

happy—golucky look faded, while Fair-

child, entering behind Harry, heard a

verdict which momentarily seemed to

stop his heart.



“It means, Harry, that you were ac-

cessory to a crime-if this was a mur-

der. You knew that something had

happened. You helped without asking

questions. And if it can be proved a.





murder—well,” and he drummed on ~





his desk with the end of his penal——

“there’s no statute of limitations when

the, end of a human life'is concerned.”





Only a moment Harry hesitated.

Then:



“I’ll tell the truth—if they ask me.”



“When?" The lawyer was bending

forward. ‘



“At the inquest. Ain’t that what

you call it?”



“You’ll tell nothing. Understand?

You’ll tell nothing, other than that

GREAT story is teld of Hofman’s

picture of Jesus in the temple, by

Dr. R. E. Speer, in one of his

books. You will remember that this





' painting shows the Boy Christ stand-





ing in the midst of a circle "of old men,

who are questioning him. One‘ night

a man was giving a stereopticon lec-





' ture on Hofman‘s pictures of our Lord.





When he came to the last slide he

threw on the screen the scene of the

Boy Jesus in the temple. He then told

how he came into possession of it.

When Hofman had. finished this paint-

ing, this man had gone todsee the agtist

and was rewarded by being presented

with the first copy. He took it to his

office and placed _it_ on an easel. One

day a judge of the supreme court of

one of the eastern states came into his

office on business. All thewhile the

judge sat there his eyes were fastened

on the picture of

the Boy Christ.

Later in the morn-

ing he returned

and said, “I want

to‘ see the Boy

again.” He was

invited to sit

down and feast

his eyes on the

famous painting.

The purity of the

face, the wonder-

ful eyes, the look

of hope and good- -Will, sank into his





 





soul. For almost an hour he sat and

looked at it. He went away with moist

eyes. In the aftemoon he came back





and said, “I want to see the Boy once

more." The owner gave him the pic-

ture to take into the private office





,, where he might look at it undisturbed.





He came out with the tears on his

cheeks and said, “The Boy has con-

quered me,” and went out of the office

a different man. The judge is now a.

very earnest Christian man, teaching

a. big Bible class of young men. It

would be well if we all studied this

picture. In fact, we ought to know

something of the great paintings of our

Lord, by our various artists.





SN’T this gospel 'of Luke a wonder-





. ful book? It has been called “The

most beautiful book ever written.” A

book may be had, with that title. It





would be very useful for any one teach-

ing a class Of young people. And the

second chapter of Luke sets off all that

follows. Angels, shepherds, saints,

prophets, all pass before us and make

up the composite picture. It is all very

simple, childlike, and very beautiful.

If anybody is so sophisticated that he

hasn’t any room for angels in his the-

ology, for'heavenly singers and other

wonders, let him not try to read Luke.

Luke’s is the‘joy gospel. He has much

to say about happy people, though they

may be poor or outcast.





It is a story of growth. The One

whose “Name is the Name above every

Namae” began in a lowby way. He was

once but a boy. He grew. He devel-

oped. He was wiser at the end of the

month than at the beginning. Luke

spends considerable time telling about

childhood. No one else has anything

to say about Jesus increasing in wis-

dom and in Stature. No one else tells

us about his getting lost in Jer-

usalem. No one else gives any of the

details of the .birth and upbringing of

John the Baptist. Two ‘other gospels

describe how Jesus blessed the little

children, but only Luke tells us these

little ones were babes in arms.





GROWTH is the hope of your child

and mine. Someone has said that

the booing of the". :baby is the most ”wet:

thatsame sort- of a sand, it is tragic, . ,

not beautiful. It shows there has been ’ '

no growth. Now shall weproduce the

best kind of growth? The fact that

thousands of children do not have

enough attention paid to their training



to produce growth in religious things



is a fearful fact. But there are signs , _

of naps in the sky; , For instance, par- ’ "

ents’ groups are being formed here and 3

there, to talk over the problems of a ;

growing children. There is the child . 'i

with a. violent temper, there is the boy

that steals and lies. New deal with . , ‘

these? And, there is the eternal ques-



tion of sex. Ask any group of. men



how many of them had confidential



‘talks with their' dads about sex mat-



ters, and see hdw many will raise their “

hands. Very few. Fathers maintain



a criminal silence on these things and



do not give straight; and simple an-

swers, often, when their boys ask them

questions. The boy is left to gather



his information‘from vile-minded com-

panions, or the conversation of unde-

sirable men.





When Roosevelt was a boy a. Mr.

Davis was engaged to do some carpen-

ter work in the Roosevelt home in New 3

York. While at work, he noticed a . '

small boy come in and pick up some of

the tools. Fearing the youngster

might cut himself, he told Theodore _,

tmput them. down. In a few minutes

the' boy was at the tools again. “I

want to see What they’re for,” be per-

sisted. “You let those tools alone, or 1

I'll send you out of here in a. hurry." ‘ i

Young Theodore ran 'out of the room

crying, and into thearms of his moth-

er. It took some time to quiet him

down, and then the mother asked what

he had done. Mr. Davis told her that

he was afraid the boy might hurt him-

self, with the tools. “But,” said the .

future Rough Riders mother, “I wish

he might learn how to use these tools.

Whenever my boy has shown any spe-

cial interest in things, or any curiosity

as to how to use them, I have always

made a special effort to satisfy that

cdriosity and teach him all he wished

to learn about them and their use.”

The result was, that Mrs. Roosevelt

engaged the carpenter to come every

day for an hour or so, for a. week, and

teach the young man the elements of

carpentry. He showed him how to

make some toys for himself, and when l

the lessons were discontinued, little

Teddy was so delighted that Davis was

asked to buy a kit of tools for him, so ;

that he might use them for himself. . J

ROWTH! If we older ones can ;

only be a little wise and be'blessed . — i

with a bit of foresight and a pinch or

the wisdom from above, we will count

as the happiest hours of our lives the

times when we can be with our chil-

dren as their companions. Stories are

”the, natural medium through which

children learn. The story-teller has the

world of childhood at his feet. Good

books of stories ought to be provided

for those old enough to read. Many

parents couldn’t tell for the life of —

them what books their children are '

reading. But the literature that sinks

into the imagination before one is {if-

teenis the stuff that makes or' un- ' "

makes life. Don’t forget that. The 1

hints on this, or the teacher, or the "

tell the coroner’s jury, that you found

this body and nothing more!”



“But—"”' ' , - N}



' “It’s a case for the grand jury after

that, to study the findings of the cor-

oner's jury and to sift out what evi-

dence comes to it."



“You mean—” This time it was

, Fairchild. cutting in——-“that if the cor-

" " I ~ oner’s jury cannot find evidence that



‘. this man was murdered, or something»

more than mere supposition to base a

charge .on—there’ll be no trouble for

Harry?”

‘ “It’s very improbable. So tell what

happened on this day of this year of

our Lord and nothing mere! You peo-

fle almost had me scared myself for

a minute. Now, get out of here and

let a legal. light shine without any

more clouds for a few minutes.“



They departed then and traveled

down the stairs with .far more spring

in their step than when they had en-

tered. Late that night, as they were

engaged at their usual occupation of

relating the varied happenings of the

day'to Mother-Howard, there came a

knock at the door. Instinctively, Fair-

child bent toward her:



“Your name’s out of this—as long as

possible.”



She smiled in her mothering, knew-

, ing way. Then she opened the door,

3 thereto find a deputy trom the sher-

iff’s oflice.



“They’ve impaneled a jury up at thel

courthouse,” he announced. “The cor-1

: oner wants Mr. Fairchild

5 - Harkins to'come up there and tell what



they know about this here skeleton



they found.”

It was the expected. The two men

. went forth, to find the street about the

courthouse thronged, for already the

news of the finding of the skeleton had

traveled far, even into the little mining

camps which skirted the town. It was

a. mystery of years long agone, and as

such it fascinated and. lured, in far

greater measure perhaps, than some

murder of the present day. Every-

where were black crowds under the

faint street lamps. The basement of

the courthouse, was illuminated; and

there were clusters of curious persons

about the stairways. Throdgh the

throngs started Harry and Fairchild,

only to be drawn aside by Farrell, the



attorney.



;’ ”“1’m not going to take part in this

‘ - unless I have to,” he told them. “It

will look better for you if it isn’t neces-

sary for me ‘to make. anappearance.

Whatever you do,” and he addressed

Harry, “say nothing about what you

. were telling me this afternoon. In the

i first place, you yOurself have no actual

knowledge of what happened. How do

you know but what Thornton Fairchild

was attacked by this man and forced

to kill in self-defense? It’s a peniten-

tiary offense for a man to strike an-

other, without suflicient justification,

beneath ground. And had Sissie Lar-

sen even so much as slapped Thornton

FairChild, that man would have been

perfectly justified in killing him‘to pro-

' , tect himself. I’m simply telling you

that so that you will have no qualms

.in_keeping concealed facts which, at

this time, have no bearing. Guide your-

" selves accordingly—and as I say, I will

be there, only as a spectator, unless

1 events should necessitate something

‘ else.”

They promised and went on, some-

, what calmer in mind, to edge their

way to the steps and to enter the base-

ment of the courthouse. The coroner

, and his jury, composed of six miners

. picked up haphazard along the street-—

Happy fhces at Every Meal





The real test of a range is the food it cooks—the kind of food

that makesuhappy faces at every meal.



Globe Ranges are excellent bakers because of the thorny, air-

tight oven that distributes the heat evenly and thoroughly and

cooks the food alike on top, sides and bottom.



They are convenient, clean, eflicient and economical. All of

them have the GLOBE fire-box which insures perfect combustion

and which converts into heat most of the soot, smoke and gas that

ordinarily passes out of the chimney as black smoke.

HESE little combinatiOns are

convenient and comfortable.

Daughter likes them, because

they button down the front so she can

button herself up, and because being

all in one piece it only takes a minute

to dress. Mother likes them because

she does not have to stop her work

to button up little underwaists and

petticoats.



They can be made of any fine mate

rial for the best suit but for every day

and even common school wear I have

found that sugar sacks do very well.

Using this material and some coarse

crochet lace I made dainty little suits

for less than thirty cents; of course,

not counting the labor. Two sugar

sacks, two spools of No. 40 crochet

thread, some buttons and a little sew-

ing machine thread are the materials

needed. .



First cut a band or strip twelve

inches wide and long-enough to go

around the child’s body comfortably

and lap over enough to make an. inch

hem at each end. For my seven-year





 





Combination Suit for the School Girl





old daughter this strip was twenty-

seven inches long. Make an inch hem

in the top of this and a narrow one in

the bottom. Also an inch hem in each

end.



Cut two pieces for the bloomers

from your regular bloomer pattern. Do

not sew all the way up the front of the

bloomers but finish about three inches

of top for center front closing. Make

four-inch slashes at center top for seat-

opening. Sew up back of bloomers.

Join under parts of the legs and put

on bands long enough to go arornd leg

well above the knee so they will not

be too tight if crowded up when play-

ing. Place a. band at top of back for

top of seat. For average size this will

be about twelve inches long and three

inches wide before finishing. Sew the

bloomers to bottom of underwaist on

each side of front and about one inch

up on the underwaist.





Make a skirt of the requiredgdepth

andsew onto waist at a point about

one-inch above the bloomers. This

one was twelve inches deep and had

three-inch lace, making fifteen inches

in all, but it is deeper than. you will

want if you wish to expose the bare

knee. Sew on lace yoke and you are.

ready for the buttons and button holes.

This requires about four down the

front and three for the back.



The crochet lace used was an easy

pattern and quickly made but any kind

New Ideas of





“Solemn Warning.”





“Last Sabbath evening Miss Ann

Jones met with a. terrible accident as

she was returning from church. As she

was walking along the embankment

the high wind caught in the many

yards of dry-goods in her dress and

blew her over the railing, down the

twenty-foot bank where she landed pn

a pile of .broken rocks. She was ter-

ribly injured, and was resCued with

great difficulty. The writer sees in this

a solemn warning to those who are in-

clined to follow the new styles. Fe~

males who hang bales of dress goods

and yards of Wire on their persons are

inviting death of the elements—wind,

fire and flood. Modern dress is a snare

of the devil.”





We smiled when we read-the above’

item in an old newspaper printed in

1857. We can imagine how others, in

as many years in the future, will smile

when they read some of the earnest

warnings in print in the year 1922. In

.the article contributed by Mrs. B. O.

R. there is much of truth. There is

a. great lack of modesty everywhere

and a very low moral tone. No thought-

ful person can fail to be concerned

about it. But is it now, or has it ever

been, that such a state of affairs is due

to the yardage of dress cloth used by

the fair sex? Go through the files

of old papers and you will find a never-

ending cry of complaint about WOmen’s

clothes. Ever since the adoption of

the fig~leaf all sorts of evils have been

laid at the door of modern dress.

Change has always been greeted by

remonstrance. Can this be because the

men just naturally hate to-change their

clothes while we women just as natur-

ally love to?



Now, I, like the Psalmist, “have been

young,'but now I am old,” my locks

bleached with the cares and toils of

many“seasons, but it is my consolation

to have accumulated a. small stock of

plain common sense. \ In its light I am

led to certain conclusions, among them

I find the conviction that much of this

criticism is not worth worrying about.

It is constitutional.





Honestly, in what other age has

there been so much for sensible wom-

en to rejoice in? To have one’s avoir—

dupois unfettered, what joy! One’s

step unhampered, what freedom! How

the one—piece dress brings relief from

those old moments of apprehension as

to the state of our back view.



No, it is not true that the present

state of low morals is due to the

clothes some folks are wearing. Vice

and wickedness flourished when wom-

en swaddled themselves in stays and

bandages and yards of cloth.



The trouble is, in this age as in all

others, some Women have used apparel

to. attract attention of men. Other

women use it as clothing. f '



The princip'le'of suitability rightly

applied would help matters. gFurs and

warm clothing for"cold weather. Light

Modern Dress





making a display leads to the use of

furs in summer, silk stockings in win-

ter, bathing’suits for strolling on the

beach. There is no particular advan-

tage in bare knees or riding breaches

in the shopping districts of the city.

A little different expresSi‘on of an old,

Old sin.



And, of course, the great problem

has always been, is now, and will be,

what to do about it. Discussion, con-

demnation and even legislation may

help some. It is my private view that

good men, as good men are not so

fervently interested in all they see,

and are not quite so playful and fiip~





.. pant in denouncing what they gaze at,





would help some, too. Possibly,

if modest Women, decently clad, could

feel as many admiring male glances in

their wake, modest‘attire would be-

come more the rage. But even if all

good women were to adopt as a, sign of

their chastity a non-transparent4up-to-

the-ears, down-to-the-heels uniform,

and all men gave them the tribute of

their admiration, so that all women

werie forced to adopt it, if they wished

to be noticed at all, would all women

be good? Well, I wonder.—~Mrs. I. K.

\ First rub the utensil with fat and

STAINED ZINC TOP KITCHEN

TABLE.





 





My zinc-top kitchen table has be-

come badly stained. I am wondering

if you can tell me something that will

remove these stains.—Mrs. F. O.





Rub with an acid, such as vinegar

or lemon juice, and then wash thor-

oughly with a weak solution of soap.





STAINED LIBRARY SCARF.





 





I have a library scarf that became

badly stained with chocolate. This is

on white material. Can you tell me

something that Will remove the stain?

—Mrs. S. O.



Soak the scarf in a cold strong bor-

ing water through this and wash in the

usual manner. For similar stains for

silks and unwashable fabrics, sponging

with chloroform will remove the stain.

HOW TO REMOVE STICKY FLY

PAPER.





 





My children are always getting into

the flypaper and making a sticky mess.

Can you tell me something that will

remove this from their clothing?—

Mrs. H. R





If you will saturate with alcohol,

turpentine or

will be removed, then wash in the us-

ual manner.





THE FALL cARE OF CYCLAMENS.





 





Is it necessary to repot my cyclamen

if I want it to bloom this winter, When

should I do it, and when should it be

watered?-——Mrs. S. p. S.





You should re-pot your cyclamen any

time this month, using the same kind

of soil and always taking care to leave

the top of the bulb free. A week or

two after re-potting, the plant may be

brought into a sunny window where it

should soon begin to show signs of

growth. It will bloom freely through

the winter.



Cyclamen leaves should be washed

frequently with a damp cloth and all

red spiders destroyed as soon as they

appear. Greenhouse plants often have

the tiny white millers which are very

bad for cyclamen. Put some ammonia

in a saucer and set plant in that if it

is troubled with millers. ,



Begin to water them as soon as

brought to the sunlight, but do not

'keep them wet. Water them frequently

and let them be quite dry before wa-

tering again. The amount of water

used will dependlgreatly upon the hu-

midity of the room.

Mrs. M. G.





Would advise that you do not grain





 





your living-room, as that looks very “





ordinary and is about obsolete. It

would be much, better to enamel this

in gray, ivory, cream or white, rather

than grain the finish. Use a neutral

color and then use a varnish stain of

the color you want and if you do not

like a high gloss it' may be taken off

with a slight rub with pumice stone

and water. If you would like your

little care and pains exerted.





FRAUDS OF THE HEAVY FRUIT

SEASON.





 





ITH the bumper fruit crop of



this season and past seasons



and the large increase in home-can-

ning, induced by further instruction in

the art, an extensive advertising cam-

paign has been put on by manu-

facturers of so-called canning com-

pounds. The United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture has recently is-

sued a circular with reference to cer-

tain highly advertised and widely dis-

tributed canning powders, which con-

tain ninety-five per cent boric acid and

five per. cent salt. By experiments it

has been shown these powders to be

unnecessary in the case of acid fruits

and vegetables, to have only a slight

effect on the micro organisms and

molds which cause spoilage in improp-

erly sealed jars and to have no effect

whatever to control the growth of two

of the most dangerous and common

bacilli, B. botulinus and B. sporogenes.

B. botulinus is the bacilli responsible

for so many deaths in recent years.

Tests have been made on various!

molds that are often found in canned

goods and while the number of species

which would germinate were reduced

to some extent, spoilage from the com-

mon species of molds was not entirely,

eliminated. The result of these ex-

periments showed that these powders

do not insure safety from food poison-

ing and that dependence on them be-

come a source of danger. Boric acid

has no food value and itsantiseptic





 





 





value is not great. It is classed under





 





the food law as harmful to health as





well as deleterious to chickens, and by «





all means should be avoided.



This bumper fruit crop is also re-

sponsible for the shortage in the glass;

fruit jar supply, particularly in the.l

popular pint and quart sizes. Jobbersl

refuse to order additional stock as they.

would arrive too late for sale. It has

been estimated that the demand for

fruit jars this season has been fifty

per cent greater this year than last.





“PASS IT ON."





 





HE following suggestions have



been sent into this department

with the idea of helping others in our

little perplexing everyday problems.

Many times the lack of' little sugges-

tions to a tired mind has been the '

cause of much work and many a fail-

ure. —Eds.



One always has trouble in keeping

cauliflower any length of time, so, as

we are fond of creamed cauliflower, I

studied out a way of canning my late

crop for winter use. I cook and can

it in a strong salt brine. After it is

canned it will turn brown and you may

think it is spoiled, but it is not. When

wanted for use, open, drain, place in

saucepan, cover‘ well with water, bring

to a boil and drain again. This re-

moves the surplus salt and restores it

to its natural color. It is now ready

to prepare for the table.——Mrs. E. T.



I find sticky flypapers to be a great

value in destroying flies. Below I give

my method for preparing fly paper,

which is as good as store fly papers,

and much Cheaper:



Heat together two pounds of resin

and one pint of castor oil until it looks

like melasses. Spread while hot on an

old newspaper.-—Anon.

T is from a. sense of duty to the



equalization between the sexes and



giving of credit where credit is due,

that I will attempt to tell you about

the work of a progressive young lady

of Ohio. . ‘



In 1918 Doris Beck, of Ohio, decided

‘ to join the calf club which was being

started in her county, now widely

known as the Rosenberger and Ed-

' wards Calf Club. and try her hand at

developing a winner. During the, first

three years of the club two of the first

prize winners were fitted by her. Her

winner in 1920 was Clear Diamond 8th.

This heifer stood at the head of a

strong class of twenty~one calves

shown by other boys and girls, and

also at the head of a line of twenty-

seven junior yearlings in the open

classes.



After the show the calves Were put

up at auction and sold, with the un-

derstanding that each member might

buy back his or her animal.

Diamond 8th was the top of the sale

Doris Beck and Her Prize Calf.





‘ at $1,400, but did not change owner—





_ ship. Since this time the heifer which





has now grown to be a cow, has given‘

birth to two calves for her owner, at

the present time nursing a white heifer

calf sired byVillage Royal, the sire of.

the grand champion bull at the last

International. > _

Her calf was fed feed grown on the

farm, being kept in the barn during

the day and turned out to pasture with

another calf in the evening. Received

a bath about every ten days, and fre-

quent grooming.



‘ (Miss Beck not only made good finan-

cial .returns upon her investment in a

good calf, but has also had the pleas-

ure of watching her pet round out into

prize winning form under the skillful

guidance of her own hands. For it can

be no chance of luck that she should

fit and show two first prize winners in

three years. She says that the three

most essential things to success as

she has found them in club work are:

First, to get a calf that pleases, (one

with' which you enjoy to associate);

second, for parents to get behind the

work and boost; third, that ways and

means he provided so that the child

can keep the calf for a. breeding cow

and reach the object forrwhich the calf

club was started. ~





But there is a bigger result here

than the financial returns, although

they were great, even greater than

the winning of the blue ribbon. In the

work of Doris Beck when she said,

speaking with reference to the sale of

hencalf, “I am glad to say that Clear

Diamond 8th goes back to Pleasant

View Stock Farm,” rings a meaning .of

greater importance than the winning

or a dozen first prizes. ‘ Miss Beck is

not a dealer, in mere animal flesh but

a lover of improved Shorthorns. If the

calf had. been sold for the high: dollar,

the money would have soon been re-

invested in commerce and the days of

Clear Diamond forgotten, but no, she

goes back home to establish and lay

the foundation for the building of a

still more efficient animal to aid in the

turning of farm. grains and roughages

into a marketable product.



It shows the strong appeal for some-

thing higher and better in ,life which

the care of good animals develops for

club members and this, after all, is the

instituting some advancement we can

among people.





In this girl’s work rings/a. true tune

of. a lover of not only high-class live

stock, but for the better things'of life.

It is a living story to the importance

of club work, in that it teaches true

devotion, strong character, persever-

ance, and the knack of putting to a

useful practice the ideas of youth.

What stronger proof of the good the

work can do than this, which provides

for the moulding of broad and useful

citizens, can one demand?

» Dear Uncle Frank:



When I« came home from school and

found a check for one dollar waiting

for me, it seemed almost too good to

be true. When I wrote the essay I

thought how nice it would be if I

should be one of the five to win; but

then I thought how many~ others there

would be With essays as good as mine,

and I didn’t think that I would be one.

But I thank you very much for it. I

am going to save half of it for Sunday

School, because I think everyone

should spend part of their money for

religious purposes.



I am driving four and one-half miles

morning and night to go to high school.

I am a junior this year and I think I

will like my work real well, although

I think it will keep me busy. But work

is good for everyone, I think. ‘



A few years ago we went to Grand

Ledge and there we saw the clay pit

and went through the tile factories. It

was very interesting. After the tile

are made they are put into furnaces

and heated for a few days and then are

left to cool. There were surely a large

number of tile there.



Again I thank you very much for the

dollar. I am your grateful niece, Luella



.Wilmarth.





You certainly are sensible in the in-

vestment of your prize money, and also

in thinking that work is good for eve-

ryone. One never can tell when he is

going to win, that’s the reason it pays

to try.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





I am going to tell you about our one-

year-old calf. ' Her name is Susie, and

she is sort of wild-like. The other

morning my_ brother Robert——who is

eight years old—came in the house

crying and quite frightened. He said

while he was getting the cows out to

pasture, Susie began to chase him, and

that she chased him clear back to the

barn. So I went out with him, and

sure enough, there she was, standing

in the barnyard, just as if she was

waiting for Robert to come back so

she could chase ,hi some more. We

both got after her and finally persuad-

ed her to go to pasture.



We do not know what makes her

want to chase him,-unless it is because

he is little and she takes advantage

of him. , « ,

Dear_Unc1e Frank:



Tap, Tap, Tap, may I come in? I

hope I can, as I would like to be one

of the “Happy Circle.” I have been a

reader of the Michigan Farmer, but

never have tried my luck at it yet. I

will tell you how I spent my vacation

this summer.



I went picking berries most every

day, which I don’t mind very much.

Some days I and my girl friends would

go in swimming. I cannot swim very

well yet, but I think I will be able to

swim good by next summer. Uncle

Frank, can you swim? We girls have

some good times, I'm telling you;



I am a girl of thirteen years of age.

I am five feet tall, have blue eyes, light

curly bobbed hair, and weigh ninety-

five pounds.



I wish some of the boys and girls

from thirteen years to sixteen years

would correspond with me. I would

be very glad to hear from them, also

you, Uncle Frank.

ten enough now, I want to leave room

for some other cousins. May I come

again? Miss Agnes *Hampel, Mayville,

Michigan, RR. 4, box 58.



_ Welcome to our Circle, Agnes. The

next time don’t wait to tap, just walk

in. Yes, I can swin but have not brok-

en any speed or distance records in

that line of endeavor. ‘





 





Dear Uncle Frank: . . '



We had a good county fair last ,

week. My father took the sweepstakes

on a peek of Rural :Petoskey potatoes.

One of our horses took the blue ribbon

and one of our lambs also. We got

prizes on our apples and ‘grain, too.



This is the first time I have entered

a contest. Hoping to win a prize, I

am, your nephew, Ralph Herrion.



Your father’s Winning at the fairtells

better than several written pages, the

kind of farmer he is. I hope you were

not discouraged because you did not '

win. I am sure your father had to try

seVeral times before he was able to

win such things as sweepstakes prizes.





I think I have writ- .

Anchor Poultry Houses.»



It pays to have permanent poultry

houses firmly bolted to the stone wall.

This can be done by setting eight-inch

bolts in the cement and securely fas-

tening them to the sills. Small colony

houses can be partially protected by

driving a two-by—four post at each cor-

ner and spiking it to the house. Dan-

gerous windstorms seem more preval-

ent than in the past and the small

buildings of the poultry keeper are in

particular danger.





Old stone piles which are a. breeding

place for weasels are dangerous to the

poultryman’s profit. The stone is fine

to help make the fill for the foundation

of a laying-house. The wall can be left

partially unfinished, leaving an open-

ing in which the stone can be dragged

on a stoneboat. This saves the heavy '

work of dumping stone over the wall

and the possible damaging of the wall.





Here is a good plan for nests that‘

can be used where the uprights are not

in the way. Build the section-without

backs to the nests. The side wall fur-

nishes the backs. Then hinge the sec-

tion to the wall. By raising the nests

toward you, all of the old litter can

be drummed out at the back. This

saves time in cleaning nests when new

nesting material is needed.



Feeding Sunflower Seed.



Sunflower seed contain a 'lot of in-

digestible fiber and are not in a class

with corn and wheat for poultry feed.

’I believe it pays to feed the sunflowers

in the fall when the hens are nioulting

and the pullets need a littlewextra fat

and a little gloss on their feathers.

The heads can. be thrown on the

ground onthe range and the hens will

soon thresh them out. Unless there is

a very large‘surplus of sunflower seed

I believe it is best to save work and

let the birds consume all the seed in

the fall.





If sunflower seed is stored for winter

use the heads must be gathered before

the wild birdsattack them. Hang, the

heads where they will dry thoroughly

or shell out the seed and spread it cut

in very shallow heaps. It is quite. moist ‘

and may mould if the heaps are not

stirred occasionally. It is too much

work to save much'sunflower seed for

winter use, as corn is of greater value

at that time. '





Last night’s paper. reported that po-

tatoes sold on our city market at forty .

cents per bushel, while eggs were thir-

ty-two cents per dozen. There has been

a surplus of cabbages, tomatoes and

other truck while the supply of fresh

eggs has been limited. I am not per-

sonally acquainted with any wealthy

egg producers but do feel that a lot

of the cabbagesand vegetables which”

some farmers are selling at give-away

prices might better be saved .to keep

thevpoiiltry flock healthy during the

coming winter.

THE SANITARY CLOSET.



v4: . ‘—Y‘_"



NE of the. vexing domestic prob-

lems of those who live in small

villages is the disposal of human



excreta. Many subscribers ask for in~

formation on this very important ques-

tion. The common earth closet is al-

ways unsatisfactory; disposal of the

contents is a repulsive job that be-

comes almost impossible to care for

properly under complications such as

frozen ground, excessive rainfall, and

other disturbances.



We cannot give spaceto lengthy de-

scriptions of how to construct closets,

but are glad to set forth a few sugges-

tions. The concrete pit privy is a very

valuable and practical 'type of closet.

The receptacle may be made fly-tight,

and being of concrete allows no leak-

age. Thepit is divided into two com-

partments, on the principle that if one

compartment is used alone until filled,

and then left undisturbed during the

months that the other is in process of

filling, the fecal matter will have be-

come so driedand decomposed that it

may be removed to land remote from

wells and springs and applied as fer-





‘ tilizer with little difficulty and slight





- rest is, not so often interrupted.





ofiensive odor. This is made'an easier

matter if a little dry, loamy earth is

shoveled in from time to time as the

pit is filling.



A community able to arrange for

regular scavenger service may make

new of fiy—tight closets with removable

receptacles such as buckets, to be tak-

en away weekly. A tank privy in which

enough water is used to allow the de-

velopment of bacterial action similar

to that taking place in a cesspool is

among the possibilities. The solids dis;

integrate and then pass off through the

overflow. Odors are kept down by

maintaining a film of kerosene on the

surface.



Recentlythe chemical toilet has be-

come developed in such a manner that

its operation may be considered quite

successful. The general plan of oper-

ation is for the deposits of excreta to

be’received into receptacles containing

a powerful chemical solution. Upon

falling into this solution the waste

products are deodorized, disinfected

and more or less disintegrated. Local

vents leading outside of the building

are provided to care for odors in the

closet bowl and the parts of the appar-

atus above the chemical tank. ’An ap-





, paratus of this kind makes it possible,





at a cost ofabout one dollar per year

per person to have indoor closet facili-

ties where no water or sewer systems

are available, thus adding greatly to

the comforts of the home.





BABY’S FEEDING PERIOD.





 





I am advised by a friend who is a

nurse that. I should nurse my baby

every three hours, but my mother says

that is not often enough—she always

nursed her babies two hours apart.—

Mrs.,L.: S. W. .





Modern practice is to allow the long-

er interval between nursing periods.

The babies get as much food and their

It is

good practice to be very regular about

this and evento wake the baby at the

nursin time. ~Now and then we find a

sub-sta dard baby who must be nursed

more frequently for a time, until she

becomes strong enough ,totake a great-





‘ er amount of food. The’index lies in





the baby’s weight. Have good scales

and weigh the little one every week,

being particular to ‘observe the same

conditions» at each weighing—the Same

nursing. etc. If the: baby is gaining 1‘

steadily you knowyou are on the right

track. A steady gain in weight is the

most important index to a child’s

proper development.





EFFECTS OF DIPHTHERIA.





 





I am a woman thirty—four years old.

I had a case of diphtheria a few

months ago. I got to feeling pretty

well and was up for a few weeks. Then

my heart went back on me and I have

had trouble with it ever since. What

can I do?—T. K.



Diphtheria is always hard on the

heart. You will have to take a long

period of complete rest to allow the

balance of the heart to be reestablish-

ed. Don’t do any work until this mat-

ter is straightened out, even if it takes

a year, which it probably will. At thir-

ty-four you should have a good many

fruitful years yet to go, but they will

be spoiled if ybu have to get along with

a weak heart.





 





TO RESTORE AGRICULTURE.





 





(Continued from page 362).

yet it workscertain hardships against

~trade in Europe or the repayment of

debts. Such a plan as proposed would

mitigate the evils and restore normal-

cy of trade.





The problem has many details, yet‘

American genius has always found a

way to do economic justice which the

farmer must have. The confiscation

of the products of the farm at the

present ratio against him cannot long

continue. The stabilization of farm

products at one hundred and fifty per

cent of pre-war values is necessary.

This is nothing more than has been

done for transportation and railway

wages and acquiescence in coal mining

costs and also in a large way for man-

ufacturers by the tariff. A European

standard of living for agriculture and

an American standard for other indus-

tries is as impossible as a country “half

slave and half free.”





If there are objections to the plan





ternational problems, then the export

corporation might restore equity of ex-

change by giving certificates of pur-

chase direct to grain growers for the

exchange difference to be redeemed

by the United States out of the allied

indebtedness in small denomination,

This would

produce a mild inflation as these bonds

would be largely like Liberty Bonds,

easily disposed of.





The question of special privilege may

be easily answered, that the United

States government held down prices

for the farmer during the war, while

wages and other products were allowed

to soar. The United States also made

large profits out of the grain export

company. As already pointed out, the

United States government has made,

or attempted to determine, an Ameri-

can standard of business directly to

the railways and railway workers, and

also by the very liberal tariff sched-

ules to manufacturers, but to the key

products of the farm no provision has

been made which is effective. The im-

position of the European standard of

living by reducing agriculture to the

position of the European peasant is

monstrously unjust, and red-blooded

Americanism can well be appealed to,

to do economic justice to agriculture.

DAIRYING A PERMANENT INDU$~

TRY.





 





 





 





 





o matter what trials beset agricul-

ture, dairying is and will always





continue to be one of its profitable and





its most secure ventures. The reasons

are not far to seek.‘ Ever since the

days of primitive man the human race

has used large proportions of animal

food. As population presses, meat is

partially replaced by vegetables in the

diet. Nowhere, however, has animal

food been entirely abandoned. Sines

the dairy cow is the most economical

producer of human food from the grain

and roughages of the farm, the increas-





 





imals.

county, the northern half of the south-





 





 





ern peninsula. carries the same amount .





of, infection "The Thumb” and the

south central and southern counties,

with the exception of Van Buren,’ Ber-

rien and Hillsdale counties, carry

more than three per cent and not more

than seven per cent, but Wayne is re-

ported as having from seven to fifteen

per cent. Antrim carries the honors,

being the only county reported asahav-

ing only one per cent or less.

Michigan stands well up among the

leaders in the work of testing for tu-

berculosis. During July of this year

there were only four states which sur-





 





 





 





 





Experienced Dairymen Have Learned the Value of an Abundant Supply of

Clean, Pure Water for their Cows.





 





 





ed consumption of dairy products is

coincident with the increase of human

population. This is one vital reason

Why dairying must continue.



Of all the enterprises in which men

engage, live stock husbandry is the

most alluring and the most enjoyable.

But live stock husbandry rests wholly

upon mammalian life—life that de-

pends upon mother’s milk. In ordinary

farming the milk of the cow is freely

substituted for that of other animals

in the nurture of the growing young.

But this reason, important as it must

be, is one of the least of the reasons

why dairying must continue.



The cow has been most appropriate-

ly designated “the faster mother of

the human race.” Childhood’s depend-

ence upon milk for its normal growth

and healthy development is so absolute

and so vital to our national welfare

that dairy farming is rapidly coming

to be the one indispensable industry.

Textiles may be “fabricated,” foods

produced by “synthetic processes,"

building materials “substituted," but

“there are no substitutes for milk. It

is the one protective food in the hu-

man dietary.”



Hence, dairying cannot be overdone

and the dairy cow will never be replac-

ed, neither in the nurture of the race

nor the fundamental economics of the

farm.——K. L. Hatch.





BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS SITUA-

TION IN MICHIGAN.





 





A CLOSE 'study of the. results of

testing three million cattle for tu-

berculosis has been made by Dr. J. A.

Kiernan, of the United States Depart-

ment» of Agriculture. From the infor-

mation gathered he has prepared a

map indicating the percentage of cattle

that are tubercuiar in each county of

the country.



In Michigan the map shows that all

of the northern peninsula. counties with

the exception of Menominee Carry

more than one per cent and not more





, than three per cent of tuberculous an-





,t .





passed Michigan in the number of cat-

tle tested, the total number for the

state being 16,040. The total number

of cattle which had been tested once

and found, to be free is 123,256, and the





total number of cattle in which the .





tests have been completed and which

are free and accredited is 7,744; The

total number of cattle under supervis-

ion is 162,045. The testers have as

much work ahead of them as they are

now doing for,‘according to T. S. Rich,

of Lansing, the inspector in charge of

the work, there' are 166,131 animals

now on the waiting list.



These figures show that while Mich-

igan has a big problem in eradicating

tuberculosis, particularly in the lower

half of the state, she. acknowledges

this problem andgis going about its

solution in a businesslike way. In the

number of animals waiting for test,

with the exception of Missouri, where





there are 200,000, Michigan stands at '





the head of the list.—-E. B. Reid.





 





FORMS ANOTH ER COW-TESTING

ASSOCIATION.





 





ATON county has formed its sec-





ond cow~testing association, with‘





a membership of twenty-seven. This

association is- fOr the northern part at

the county, while Association No. 1 is





operating in the southen part. Both of '





these associations were organized by

County Agent "R. W. Tenny, assisted

by Mr. Brownell, of the Agricultural

College.





 





PROFITS INCREASE IN PROPOR-

The Tester Knows





The only sure and accurate

way to determine just how close

{our separator is skimming is



y means of the Babcock Test,

and the most accurate operators 9

of the Babcock Test are the cow

testers employed by the vari-

ous cow testing associations.

The following statements from

new testers are interesting:



-—“The closest skimming of

milk I have in this association

is done with a De Laval. Of

the 29 separators in this associa-

tion 16 are De Lavals.” —Tester

for the second largest associa-

tion in Minnesota.



—-“De Laval Separators and

Milkers are to my mind superior

to any other makes. The sep-

arator is the most efficient skim-

mer of milk and its durability,

is lasting. In this community

we have practically all De Laval

Separators.”——Tester for a.

Pennsylvania association.





A De Laval soon pays for it-

self and is sold 011 such easy

terms that you can use it while

people, both on the farm and in the





towns and cities, approve of his action.’

He has established a precedent that

will undoubtedly be followed hereafter,

not only by his fair but by fairs in

general. Everybody knew this prac-'

tice was being carried to an extreme

and all it wanted was someone strong

enough in moral convictions to put a

stop to it.





Space will not permit a detailed. de—.





scription of each department, let alone

' details about individual exhibits;

neither would this be interesting to

the general reader. Perhaps the above

references to the horticultural and

poultry exhibit is sufficient for them

and all that will be interesting, except

to those particularly interested





to special descriptions for what they

want. '



Horses are of especial interest now-

days, from; the fact that many think

this breed of animal is liable to be-

come extinct. But the horse is sun

with us and always will be. Of course,

no one expects to see light harness

horses exhibited at a fair nowadays.

The oceans of automobiles parked stol-

idly in every conceiVable nook and cor-

ner available on the grounds gives the

reason. The auto has taken the place

of the light harness horse, but the

draft or work horse and the race horse

remain and can never be r:;;>‘;:x=>l my

the tractor, the auto, or the airplane.



As the country becomes more dense-

ly populated, the dairy cow gradually

takes the place of the purely beef ani-

mal, because she produces human food

at less cost. The purely heel” animal

will probably never be entirely elimi-

nated, but the dairy cow keeps increas-

ing in number. It is said there are

nearly a million milch cows in Michi-

gan, and the exclusive dairy breeds

were well represented—Holsteins,Jer-

seys, Guernseys and Ayrshlreswand in

numbers about in the order named.

There were many superior animals in

each breed. The dual-purpose animals

displayed by the Red Polled and dairy

Shorthorns Were well represented and

there were beef types of, Shorthorns

and Herefords and Polled Angus, show—

ing that there is still a place for purely

beef animals in Michigan yet. ’





It is next to impossible to convert

the American farmer to the bacon type

of hog. He sticks to the American, or

lard type and he must find this type

the most profitable or he would change.

The market is always a little higher

for bacon hogs than for large fat hogs,

but the farmer seems to thing he can

produce the fat so cheaply that he can

afford to sell at the lower price. It is

true that if the American type is sold

at real light weight they produce very

good bacon, but never the choicest

kind. There were as fine herds of O.

I. C., Poland-China, Duroc Jersey and

Hampehires as one would find any-

where, and there were also some good

herds of Yorkshire and Tamworths.



Sheep made a good showing. The

middle wools predominated, the long

wools next, and then the fine. wools.

There were many very superior ani-

mals in all breeds. There 'were a few

Persians whose pelts are prized as

furs, and whose owners think they are

more profitable from this fact.



The exhibition of poultry was unus-

ual, not only in numbers but in qual-

ity. The hen‘has demonstrated her

worth as a. producer of cheap and pala-

table food, and the demonstrationat

Grand Rapids seemed to’ indicate that

everybody'knew it.

WHEAT





-Wheat prices failed to maintain the

advance the Near East situation devel-

oped but the seriousness of the latter

undoubtedly prevented as much of a

decline as would have occurred other-

wise. Receipts in the United States

have been only slightly above normal

but as this is the season during which

the supply generally is heaviest, the

‘markets have been called upon to ab-

sorb large amounts in the last few

weeks. Statistically the wheat situa-

tion is not strong. While, importing

conntries harvested 160,000,000 bushels

less than last year, there is a large

rye crop and a generous potato crop'in

Europe to help make up the deficiency.





CORN





Clearances of corn for export have

fallen off in the last few weeks but

sales are being made right along. The

domestic demand from the southwest

where drouth prevailed is highly sat-

isfactory and more could be sold were

cars available for transporting it. In—

dustrial demand also has improved

during the last few Weeks.





OATS





Oats prices have advanced about 30

per cent from the low point of the sea-

son. Stocks at terminals are,only half

as large as a year ago and they are

strongly held. Additional receipts each

week are below normal for the seasOn

and the demand has been broad;





SEEDS _

The department of agriculture re-

ports that fully two-thirds of the tim-

othy seed crop had already left the





~hands of growers by September 12.





The market is firm at present. Clover

seed prices lost part of the smart ad-

vance of last week. Reports ofvyields

are below the expectancy of a rmonth





- ago and farmers are selling less freely

.than when prices were $2 lower.





FEEDS -





. Sharply higher prices for feeds re-





sulting from the war, scare and. car

shortage have restricted the demand.

Eastern buyers are indifferent and the

southwest which has been the most

active section has slowed down percep-

tibly. Some Canadian miilfeeds are

coming into New England.



' HAY"



Hay markets are generally reported

as firm, with receipts light. Demand

is limited also but may improve with

colder weather. Pastures in most sec-

tions are in good condition. Prices

seem more likely to go; higher than

lower. '





POULTRY AND EGGS





Strictly fresh,eggs are extremely

scarce and are selling at a big margin

over the doubtful kinds. They are al-

most sure to become much more scarce

in the next sixty days so that there is

no reason to look for a lower price

range. Storage eggs are being moved

out rapidly, but such a movement

must continue right along to dispose

of the enormous stocks. Poultry pric-

es are weakening but are still compar-

atively high. Receipts are expanding

gradually.



Chicago—Eggs miscellaneous 27@

Live poultry, heavy springers 22@23c;

light springers 19@20c, heavy hens at

24c per pound.





BUTTER





Receipts of butter at the four lead—

ing markets are running slightly be-

low normal. The supply in the fresh

arrivals has been insufficient and stor-

age butter has been drawn upon freely

so that storage stocks at the four lead-

ing cities are now smaller than they

were last year.

ier to obtain and prices thereon have

not been maintained in all cases while

higher scores advanced during the past

week. ,



Prices for 92-score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 420; New York





Lower grades are eas- .





44c. In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs

sells for 36@37c.





BEANS *





~The bean markets are receiving in-

creased supplies and as a result the

trade is broadening. This is evident

mostly in mid-western markets, the

change not yet being felt in eastern

districts. The New York jabbing

price for pea-beans is nominal at $6.50

@675. Chicago trading is expanding

with Michigan peas at $550626 per

cwt. In Detroit dealers are quoting

$5 in Saginaw $4.75 and at Grand

Rapids farmers are receiving $4@4.25.





POTATOES





Carlot shipments of potatoes are the

heaviest of the year and‘ are still in-

creasing. The total last week appear-

ed to be about 8,500 cars, compared

with an average of 6,468 cars, in the

corresponding week during the three

preceding years. Prices were weak/at

Chicago but steady at other points.

Northern round whites are quoted at

$1@1.10 in' carlots at Chicago and at

$1.25@1.55 at other widwestern mar-





kets.

APPLES





The carlot apple movement is ex-

panding steadly each week but at

present is below last year at this time

although larger than in 1920 and 1919.

Prices upon A-Zl/é Jonathans are $3.25

@450 per barrel in the central west.





WOOL





Wool trade has broadened since the

new tariff went into effect, as manu-

facturers feel more certain over the

outlook. Practically all grades of wool

have changed hands at firm prices,

with evidence of an advancing ten-I

dency. The Boston market is quoted

as follws:



Michigan and New York fleeces, de-

laine unwashed 52@54c; fine unwash-

ed 43@45c; half-blood Imwashed 47@

480; three-eighths blood unwashed 46

.lletroii Beef Company





. Thirty-three years ago in No-

vember. 1889, the Detroit Beef

.Co.‘ opened its More for busi-

ness. Its particular business was

selling dressed beef on commis-

sion. In atewyears, in response

‘to numerous requests from farm-

ers and other shippers, we began

selling dressed calves on com-

mission. This part of our busi-

ness has been very successful for

the shippers and for ourselves.

During the past year we sold ten

thousand .—calves for our friends

in the state. Our results were

99% per cent. satisfactory to

these shippers.





For the following reasons: We

have the best facilities in De-

troit for handling dressed calves.

We sell each calf as though it

were our own and get as much

for it as the market will allow.



We sell to the very best trade

in Detroit and more meat deal-

ers visit our coolers than any

other in Detroit.



It cost us last year 61/2 per

cent to sell our products. We

'charge you 7% per cent to sell

[your calves. This allows us one

per cent net profit for the use of

our facilities and capital or a net

profit of about 15 cents on each

fcalf.



. We are honest with you in

’every transaction. We are look-

ing to future business and we

want every shipper satisfied.



. Write us for instructions how

,to dress calves and prepare for

shipment. »

Softshelled Eggs, Dog Eats Eggs.—

Lice and Fleas on Cats and Dogs.—

My ducks and some of my geese lay

soft-shelled eggs. They are out every

day where they have access to plenty

of water. I. don’t feed the geese any-

thing but the ducks have some grain.

My dog eats eggs, so does some of the

hens. What will kill fleas and lice on

cats and dogs? Mrs. R. R. M., Sa’ndus-

ky, Mich—The immediate cause lies

in failure of the uterus to function.

Feed plenty of crushed “fresh” oyster

shells. Keep the dog and egg~eating

birds away from the fresh eggs. Spir-

its of camphor sprinkled on a towel

in which the cat is rolled will ,kill the

fleas. Put one ounce of stavesacre

(seeds) in one quart of water, boil

doWn to one and one-half pints, add

half pint of water, apply, and it will

kill the lice.

Geo. T. Abbott. Palms. Mlch.. Tel. Deckerville 78-3.
Months of wear can be built into the

ankle, the heel, the leg——



And a crack across the instep

makes three-quarters of this wear

wasted!





One break in a vital spot and your

boots are ready for the junk pile be-

fore the other parts have really

begun to wear!





There are four points where the

strain is hardest—ankle, back of

heel, instep, and sole. Unless the

boot is properly constructed at these

points it wears out quickly.





How “U. S. ” reinforcements

insure against breaks





Into every pair of “U. S.” Boots at

each of these four points is built

the strongest kind of reinforcements

—-from 7 to 11 layers of fabric and

tough rubber reinforce these boots at

the very places that are generally the

“weak spots.”





~ No wonder they give long wear——

and uniform wear.





We’ve been making rubber foot.-





. . Askfor





 





’—





\.





wear for 75 years. We don’t just





"fbuy” rubber—we actually produce





on our own plantations the finest





grade that can be, grown. Our fac-e





tories are manned by the most ”ex-

perienced boot» makers in the country





—-—craftsmen who know the value of ’





painstaking care. And we’re proud

of the results—and of the satisfac-

tion U. S. Boots are giving to

farmers. '





Other “U. S. ’-’ models—

all built the same way





’You’ll find every type of rubber foot-





wear in the big U. S. line. There’s

the U. S. Walrus, “the famous all-

rubber overshoe—the U. S. lace

Bootee, a rubber workshoe to be

worn over your socks for spring and

fall—U. S. Arctics and Rubbers—all

styles and sizes for the whole family.

Look for the “U. S.” trademark

whenever you buy—the honor mark

of the oldest rubber organization in

the world. “
