CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





We hope that the pumpkins the frost

is on are not “pulnk.”





It makes us hot to think of the coal

situation.





In spring it is invest; in fall it is

harvest. The harvest is the culmina-

tion of the investment of a season’s

endeavor.





Use the same principles in choosing

your candidates that you do in select-

ing your seed corn. Pick them from

the field where you can note their full

record‘ of performance.





EADERS of the





Michigan Farm-



A,ttend the er should not fail to

Lrve StOCk carefully scan the live

Sales stock advertising col-





umns each week. Bet-

ter live stock is a means to the desir-

able end of increasing the profits from

the operation of any farm. Better live

stock is most quickly and cheaply se-

cured by the purchase of a few pure-

bred animals as foundation stock' for

future improvement. These are con-

tinu'ally offered thrbugh our breeders’

directory, and at this season of the

year there are many offerings of high-

-class stock at public sales.



In this and previous issues an-

nouncements of seven such offerings

for the ensuing week have appeared.

TheSe offerings happen to be confined

to two classes of stock which are of

great economic interest to Michigan

Farmer readers at the present time, i.

e., dairy cattle and swine.





One important phase of President

Friday’s program for the Michigan Ag-

ricultural College for the immediate

future is an intensive educational cam-

paign to get rid of the unprofitable

cows in the dairy herds of this state.

Anyone at all conversant with the

large number of boarder cows in our

dairy herds should at once realize that

their elimination through such a cam-

paign will greatly stimulate the mar-

ket for good dairy cows to partially

fill the depleted ranks of our dairy

herds afterthis culling process has

been well started. This p1ospect

makes the p1esent an unusually favor-

able time for the purchase of pure- -bred

dairy cattle as foundation stock from

mand.‘ The three Holstein sales which

will be held in Michigan next week

are the foundation of profitable live



stock husbandry. TFour public sale of-



ferings of good foundation stock are



being made by the Poland China breed-



ers of the state next week. These



sales, scattered ever the state as they ‘

are, offer a. rare opportunity to the



farmers of a wide territory to buy



foundation stock in the salé‘ ring at a



fair price. This is an opportunity



which should not be neglected nor



passed by because of other pressing



demands for your time. No farmer’s



time can be expended to better advan-



tage than by familiarizing himself with



the merits of good live stock, and no



farmer can invest his money more



wisely than by purchasing pure-bred



foundation stock within his means.

the democrats and the republicans, the

these are here reviev'ved, not (in the

And it helps men ' to understand

counts of various acts and thoughts

and aspirations of the men and women

who live around the corner or on sec-

tion twenty-three. Their extreme ideas

are modified and brought down to

wherethey can find cemmon ground

upon which to build. Th’e local news-

paper has been a mighty force in driv-

ing out ignorance,

suspicion and replacing it with infor-

mation and confidence and hope in

mankind. And this, notwithstanding

the fact that scandal, dishonesty,

thieving, assaulting and murder are

here mirrored to the public which it

serves. It is the great light that shin-

eth out to the community—the light of

publicity that makes hard the life of

those cankerous germs of hatred

and malice and revenge and spite and

jealousy. These unkind spirits cannot

stand the light, they weaken under its

munity interest togo out. The merits

of the local team, the abundance of re-

sources of men and materials, the 10-

cal capacity for expansion and devel-

opment are everywhere reflected on

the pages of this local sheet. Some-

times, yea often, there is exaggeration,

overstatement, , much cry and little

wool, but this enthusiasm keeps the

Joneses and the Smiths and the

Browns a. little more on tiptoe for the

home town. It just balances the down-

ward pull of outside attractions and

the burden imposed by the disgruntled

and pessimistic individuals who form a

certain small per cent of all progres-

sive communities.

{But in a great many

cases they hesitate in keeping books

as they do not feel sure that their rec-

ords will be accurate enough to be

worth while. The time it takes is also

a hindrance to farmer bookkeeping.



In Montcalm county they are en-

deavoring to solve this problem by

forming a farm accounting circle. This

circle will include. between twenty-five

and thirty farmers who will employ a

competent accountant to keep their

records. Their purpose is to hire a

man who can also advise them in' farm

management problems.



‘It may be that the Montcalm county

plan is one which will prove popular

in rural communities for in this way

an expert in accounting and farm man-

agement can be hired at a small cost

to the individual members of the ac-

counting circle.‘It certainly see-ms that

the expert advice he will receive and

the accurate records of his business

which he will have available will be

of untold value to the farmer.



There is nothing so essential to bus-

where you are at. In this respect prop-

erly kept account books will serve as a

there comes a change in the bird life

of that area. When a dense forest is

removed certain species of birds, for-

merly abundant, immediately disap-

instances a. few kinds multiply, while

there are cases where the new condi-

tions invite species that had not been

present before the forest was har-

vested.



This change is a most natural one.

When conditions become unfavorable

for any species, the members leave.

LIKE all our words, pollyticks is

made up of some others. For inst. ..

you kin see that it is made up of polly 5

which is a bird what talks a lot and ' E

don’t say very much, and ticks which

is a blood-suckin’ pest. Both of these I" '





endeavors is mindin’ other folks’ bus-

' iness.





Now, in this science of mindin’ oth-

er people’ 8 business, there is what the - :

educated men call “the sequence of ‘ ’

events. ” First comes the talkin’ or the

polly part, and then if that works good,

comes activities, which includes the

suckin’ of public blood.





There’s seasons when \the polly part

is active, but the tick business is goin’ 5

on all the , time. ,— ‘

Spring and .fall is

when the talkin’

bird is active.

.This is what they

call the polly-

tickle season, be-

cause the talkin’

is done to tickle

the emoshuns of

the p e o p l e, so

their moshuns will be favorable to the

individual what is tryin’ to fulfill his

pollytickle ambishuns.





Now, if you got such a disease like

pollytickle ambishun, you gota have

some qualificashuns to make it work.

They is principally the ability of not

carin’ what others say about your rep-

utashun and what you say’about the

others folks’ and sayin’ it as often as

you kin. In a pollytickle camp-pain

you .gota get your friends to help you

say you’re the world’s thirteenth won-

der and that you wouldn’t work even

in the steel mills’ cause you are so hon-

est. Now, the other side will say you

me used to such undertakins’, ’cause

you would steal the bloom of youth

from the cheek of innocence if you gota

chance. '



If you kin make the newtrals, which

is we common folks what vote, believe

that you are righter than the other

fellow, and that you will lower the

prices of baby’s shoes if you are elect~

ed, you kin get your ambishun of New

Now, I’m not encouragin’ you to be

But the fact remains that there

exists aiming the communities to-

day two distinct types of county fairs

the money-maker, with its

shows, its aerop1anes and its horse-rac-





ing, and the other the agricultural fair, '

jwith its Wealth of fruits, grains, dairy-





‘produdts and live stock. "And after all,





2'11: is the latter type which really con-

veys the purpose of a county agricul-,





tural fair.



Net that the agricultural phase is

entirely overlooked in the fair which

features horse-racing and hair-raisers

on its hand-bills and posters. It. can

be found, in varying quantities, scat-

tered throughout the grounds, some in

this building and some in that, but, as





. a rule, one has to, break away from the





amusement-seeking crowd to find it,

for, where thrillers and other enter-

tainment are emphasized, the mass of

ticket~buyers are not interested in the

pumpkins; watermelons, apples, peach-

es, pears, cattle, chickens, etc.





Which brings us back to our conten-





tion that, after all, the fair which fea-

tures agriculture, and thus carries out

its very purpose, will do a more con-

structive service to that community

than the other type. One hundred





farmers visiting the fair in search of‘





new ideas, better methods and bigger

results, must surely mean more toward

the progress of agriculture than one

thousand so-called city folk seeking





‘ amusement and entertainment only.





And that is what impressed us about

the fair they held over in Ontonagon





county recently. It was a real county~

art. There were apples, peaches, plums

and pears of the finest texture, shape

and color and widest variety.



The apples particularly—all grown

in Ontonagon county—showed up strik-

ingly. There were the Duchess and

Wealthies, and a half a dozen or more

varieties of seedlings, with the great,

red Wolf Rivers standing out promi-

nently 'along the top row. Plums, riv-

aling in size and taste the product 01"

California itself, were there in abund-

ance. ‘





 





In another section, but within the

same building, were the root and grain

crops. Everything from the humble

bean to theehuge, golden pumpkin was

neatly arranged in rows, where all

might see and admire.





There was the handiwork, exhibited

by the Women of the community—

needlework and cooking. There Was

the work of girls’ garment clubs, and,

in one corner, samples of the progress

achieved by the school boys and girls *

in penmanship, history and other al-

lied subjects.





In fact, it seemed that everyone in

the community—from the youngest

school child to the oldest individual in

the county—was in some way repre-

sented in that display. It was, indeed,

"a real, old-time county fair, and I 1

doubt if any county in the peninsula.

this fall could boast of an agricultural

display which could equal that shown

at the Ontonagon fair.





Two days were devoted to Ontona—

gon’s fair. During that time practically

every farmer in the community visited

the display, and it was not difficult to

observe that the majority, as they

carefully examined the various speci—

mens, were reaping the maximum of

benefit from the things they saw. They

came, not to be amused or entertained,

entirely, but to learn what their neigh-

bors were doing and how they were

doing it.



Other communities could profit by

adopting Ontonagon’s example. They

had a real, honest—to-gosh fair over

there—L. D. Tucker.





'Morc Dollar-s from the Fall Calves





Wéy Some Mm T flmé Me Modem Dazrymmz Ha: Improved 072 Nature





HE average dairy farmer has





just passed through the period ~





of most strenuous field activities

and of heavy milking. Too many have

been both raising crops and milking a

string 'of cows at the same time, and

now face the proposition of a barnful

of feed and only a few cows to milk.

A better balance of work and greater

profit to the farmer results where cows

are bred to calve in the fall. As the

work of caring for the crops draws to

a close, the busy time in the barn'be-

gins. The cows will be coming fresh

There will be plenty of

.time for giving them any needed‘ at-

tention, and for looking after the young.

Records have shown that under the

system of having cows calve in the

fall from fifteen to twenty per cent

more milk is secured. during the year.

Then, too, the price received during

the winter is higher. Taken altogether

the great yield and higher prices

makes an inducement in dollars that is

convincing.





Of course, the dairymen who retains ,





his produce d1rectly, to the consumer

must have his cows freshen at various

times throughout the year in order to

be sure of always having enough milk

to supply his customers. But the av-

erage dairyman, who~ sells lto, the com-

mercial market, is not under this hand

icap.» However, too often most of his

cows freshen in the early spring or





1‘ late winter, milk well during the sum-

’-mer, and are nearly dry when cold





weather comes again. As a rule, this

praCti‘ce means a loss of money, which





kisJerTy noticeable because it is unnec- '





her and December. First of all, milk

and other dairy products bring a bet-

ter price during the winter. That be-

ing true it means more money for us

to have the herd producing the best

during this season. -—1n the second





place, the average farmer- is not so





busy in the winter as in the spring and

summer, so he can better afford to

give more time‘to his dairy herd. If

the cows freshen "in late fall and early

winter, milking requires less time dur-

ing the busy season. Then, too, cattle

which freshen in December keep up

a.” good flow of milk longer, because

they are turned out on spring pasture

just when they ordinarily would begin

to fall off. Nor is that all. Calves

born in the winter will get better care





By “ G. W. Earle





for the first two or three months when

they need it the most. Then when

they are turned out to pasture in the

spring they are better able to take care

of themselves.



Milk and milk products are more eas-

ily cared for during winter, as less

artificial refrigeration is needed.



Winter dairymen helps to solve the

hired-man problem. It makes the work-

ing hours of summer shorter and more

regular, and removes dairying from

the slave class of a sixteen—hour day.

It provides steady work during the win-

ter, thus keeping some of the good men

from drifting to the cities.



The first thing that the fall calf

needs is a clean, dry, well-ventilated,

sunny pen. Young calves never do

well in damp, dirty quarters, contrary

to the belief of too many dairymen by

the kind of pens that they keep their

stock in. A good floor made of cement,

or cork brick, well bedded with short

straw, shavings or sawdust to absorb

the liquid manure will facilitate clean-

ing and keep the calves warm. A wood

floor does fairly well if the joints are

laid closely and then treated to a coat

of creosote to prevent the-absorption

of liquid manure, otherwise wood is

very unsanitary. A floor of earth is

practically useless as it cannot be kept

sanitary.



Good fresh air in the calf stable is

of great importance with the young

calf to give it a strong, vigorous con-

stitution and strong vitality. The calf?

will be the dairy cow within two years,

so if good, productive cows are expect-

ed the calf needs to be kept strong

and thril‘t‘y from the start.



Sunshine is very necessary to the





‘vigor of all young growing animals. It





is an excellent germicide and for that

reason serves to purify the surround-

ings and to keep the young calf heal;

thy. It is always well to place the calf

pens in a part of the stable where

plenty of direct sunshine may enter.





’ ’ The advantage of raising fall cal—ves





is that they are ready to put out to

pasture and will continue to grow, and

will not suffer from a setback, as do





many spring stock. '





Too often the spring calf is ready to

wean in the fall about the time winter

sets in, so ,that it is liable to go

through the winter without making '

very much growth. The fall is by all

means the best time for dairy calves

to come, both from the standpoint of

the calf and the profits of the farmer. a

SEEKING FACTS ON GRAIN

MANIPULATION.





HE federal trade commission is



conducting a series of conferences

for the purpose of obtaining informa4

tion pertinent to that part of the sen-

ate resolution relating to the grain

trade, which calls for “all the facts

concerning market manipulations, if

any, in connection with large export

transactions. The facts concerning the

slump in grain prices during the last

six months of 1920 after future trading

in wheat was restored, as well as the

reasons for the severe fluctuations in

the price of May futures of 1921 and

1922 are being investigated.





EUROPE AS A MARKET FOR

AMERCIAN GOODS.





HE department ’of agriculture has



recently secured the opinions of

several men well informed upon the

European financial situation as to the

extent that Europe can finance pur-

chases of farm products from the Unit-

ed States. The general trend of re-

plies indicates the belief that Western

Europe can buy what it needs, but that

our sales to Central Europe may suffer

somewhat either in volume or price by

reason of the demoralized currency

and economic condition. One man says

that several countries of central Eu-

rope will skimp their purchases as

closely as possible in view of the ad-

verse state of the exchange.





WOULD DISMEMBER THE DEPART-

MENT OF AGRICULTURE.





HE so—called administration scheme

to transfer the bureaus of forestry

and roads from the department of ag-

riculture to the interior department

and the bureau of markets to the de-

partment of commerce is far from

dead, according to reports that are

coming from Walter F. Brown, the

President’s representative on the spe-

cial joint congressional department or-

ganization committee.



It is said that the President will in-

sist that" the bill providing fer reorgan-

ization of the departments be consid-

ered at the coming session of congress.

and that hearings on the Brown propo-

sition will be held when congress

meets.

‘onocATi-zs MILKLESS DAYS.





IN France they are advocatingxmilk-

less days because there are' not

enough milkmaids there to milk the

cows. Since young women have de-

serted this “essential 'rural custom,”

many rural farmers have ceased own-

ing dairy cattle. This makes 'milk

scarce, therefore the milkless days. It

is needless to say that the milking ma-

chine which is so common in America.

is unknown in Europe.

J _HE grape season 1110





Early in the season buyers were





uttering any don’ars a ton and predict- j





ing that the price would drop to forty





dollars a ton. Our shipping association





advised us to hold out for a better





price. The first price was sixty dollars;





it ton and the price steadily went up

until' it reached seventy dollars.

association *adver'tises’our grapes un-





der the trade name, “Michico Grapes.”





Michico' means Michigan Concorde.

Before the association was organized





the buyers had us at their mercy and»





took full advantage of it, now the buy-

'ers have to actually beg for grapes

and ”pay the price. ,



One new feature of the grape mar-

ket has been the large number of tramp





steamers which have been attracted





to our harbors. One boat carried away





'. eleven thousand jumbo baskets, or ap-





proximately 180,000 pounds, for the

Lake Superior region. One wind-jam-

mer came in with a load of lumber;

the captain saw his ‘opportunity and

loaded with grapes for a return cargo

to Petoskey. ‘ ’



At my local loading point, an aver-

age-of ten carloads a day was shipped

out and thiskept up for~ nearly eight

There are three such loading

points within three miles Of my home

besides a number of others at places

farther away, so you see that we had

some grape crop in Berrien and Van

Buren counties.



The pear crop is moving now and

promises to be about the heaviest on

record. They are bringing a dollar a





hundred pounds in bulk and seventy:





five cents a bushel packed in bushels.





One ‘ annoying feature of the fruit

business is the innumerable regula-





tions, rules and laws which govern our





shipping. We must mark our package

with our‘name and address, the name

of the variety, the quantity in the pack-





age in weight and in quarts, the qual--





ity of the fruit and then stand a rigid

inspection at the loading point.

inspectors seem to lack'in tact, but do

love to make a display of theirfauthor-

ity.’ As we ship in a. number of var-

ious sized containers, it necessitates

having on hand a. large number of rub-

ber stamps and stamping theIcover in

about every available place. This all





Some“.





The





The





Mzc/zzgmz Standard Fancy”





takes much time, and time is money

when you have a perishable Crop and

cannot get help to move it.



The boom in grape' prices has

brought about the planting of thou-

sands of‘additional acres which will

come into bearing within the next two

years. What effect this'will have on

the market remains to be seen. We

ship most of our grapes in jumbo bas-

kets under the euphuistic name of

jelly grapes, but I much fear that but

few of them ever reach a jell glass,

although the juice undoubtedly does

reach a glass through the medium of

a keg. ,



I. note a very heavy planting of

peach trees and grape vines, a light

planting of pears, an increased plant-

ing of apples, and an increased plant-

ing of currants.‘



By keeping in touch with the fruit





situation all over the country, through!





the medium of many farm and fruit





 





papers, I am able to offer some advice 1





to prospective orchardists.

lightly, if at. all, of Duchess, Wealthy,

Yellow Transparent and Red Astra-

chan apples. There is almost no mar-

ket for them. Go easy on such varie-

ties as Greening, Red and Golden De-

licious, also Mackintosh. Plant all you

wish of Stayman’s Winesap, Jonathan,

Northern Spy, Fameuse, Wagner and

Ben Davis. The market is always good

for them. I Gideon apples are first cou-

sins to cow pumpkins.



In peaches, the Elberta is the leader,

with the Hale and Rochester close sec-

onds, all other varieties are poor for

market purposes. In pears, the Anjous,

Clairgeaus and Bose pears are leaders,





‘while the cohrse-grained Keifter will





sell to folks who know no 'better. The

varieties I ‘mention as not to plant

have all been overplanted within the

last few years, with a consequent flood-

ed market in sight soon.



Well, that is enough about fruit; the

next time I will report on’ corn, spuds,

beans, wheat, cows, and hen fruits. We

have all of them here in this fruit

section.





You can take up parsley in the fall

and place it in flower pots in the house.

This will furnish an attractive. green

growth for salads

throughout the winter.

LAND BANK OFFERS LOAN.

which has charge of the farm loans

of the district of which Michigan is a

part, has sent notice to its local rep-

resentatives that it desires to place

loans for spring closing. The apprais-

als Will be made this fall.

I Mr. E. G. Quamme, president of this

land bank, says that he has a great

volume of applications for fall closing.

On September 1 he had enough to keep

them busy for three months; and that

applications would come in to keep

the appraisal crew busy until about

the first of March; but each year there

seems to be a lull« of two months, be-

tween the first of March and the first

of May. . His purpose of making this

announcement is to have the applica—

tions so arranged that he can have his

appraisal crew lintact ‘during these two

lull months. He also says that he can

remove practically all restrictions on

loans now, and that they are not allot-'

ting loans‘ as they have in. the past.

The only restriction at present is to





confine thei;business to well-secured”





and desirable loans.

"creams that glorious harvest

month, the~ season for picking





rived. We have had splendid weather

the past two weeks, and most of the

neighboring silos are full and the bean

crop safely garnered. It has been a

long time since the fall work has been

so far advanced by the beginning of

October. There still remains some

corn to cut but a few more of these

delightful fall days will see it in the

shock. . ' ,



I shall leave. a part of the acreage

on Francisco Farm to husk from the





sound somewhat eitravagant and un-

thrifty to some

,lpeople, but those

of us who hailed

from the corn belt

proper do love to

shuck the golden

ears f r o m t h e

standing corn and

hear the regular

thump, thump, as

the y strike the

high bank board

. on th e opposite

side of the wagon. Many a still frosty

morning in the days of our youth have

we listened to the beat of the big ears

and gloried in the iiichness of them.

.-It is not entirely sentiment. that

causes us often to leave corn standing,

however. We are of necessity com-

pelled to consider the thing from the

dollar standpoint. And as we are call-

ed upon to pay out good money for all

labor except-what we do personally,

we have to count it all in, in figuring

the cost. The‘queation then resolves

itself into how much can we afford to

pay for the sake of having the stove

to feed this winter? ~

Why we Shall Husk in Field.

The final analysis shows that the

cost of cutting, shocking, gathering the

ears knocked off by the binder, husk-

1ng from the shock, tieing and\shock-

ing the stalks, picking up the piles of

corn and cribbing and hauling the

stalks to t e barn, will, at the present

prices ‘for labor, amount to approxi-

mately $5.00 per acre more than husk-

ing from the standing stalks and crib-

bing. If the manurial value of the

waste and the labor of hauling it out

again in the manure spreader is taken

into consideration, the case is still





 





 





go back to the soil where they grew. ’

' Is the corn stover worth $5.00 per

acre? It no doubt depends on how

badly it is needed at the barn. A corn

crop yielding ninety bushel baskets of

grain per acre will yield in round num-

bers, two tons of stover. The analysis

would indicate that the feeding value

of corn stover is about exactly equal

to that of oat straw‘podnd for pound.

That is, if the corn is'cut and shocked

when the stover is at its best. There

is considerable waste in food value,

however, between the, time of cutting,

and feeding time, which, due to various

causes not possible to overcome,

amounts to about one-fourth the total

value after the stover has stood three‘

months in the shock. Theseare some

of the reasons why we» often find it

advisable to leave a part of the corn





crop stand without cutting, to be husk-





ed directly from the stalk into the



wagon. . A . ’

the upper storyof an’bld building used

as a work shop. It was a youthful

idea put into prilctlce and at the same

time seemed like an extravagance en-

tirely uncalled for, but I think that if

there is one thing on the farm that al-

ways pays 100 per cent on the invest

ment, it- is that seed corn rack. We

like to fill it as early in the fall as the

work and the weather will permit. We

seldom find the time to go down the

rows with a. bag on one shoulder and

hunt down the choice ears, admirable

as the practice may be. It is tooslow

and tedious for us and not as satisfac-

tory as it might seem. We have tried

‘ it but practice it little.



We do, however, like to select our

seed from the standing stalk. This we

do when husking standing corn, car.



l rying a crate or two in the wagon to

hold the choice ears. Continued ,prac—

tice will soon teach one the feel ofra

good ear, and we value most highly

those ears that feel’right,‘that look

right, that grew on a good stalk sur-

rounded by a normal stand of other

good stalks, that grew at the correct



‘height on the. stalk and with droop

enough to protect from wet weather.

There will be an abundance of high-

class seed in our part of the state this

season and unless our plans go badly

amiss there will be a surplus stored

for the years when the supply is not

so plentifuh

‘ADENOIDS ARE NOTHING NEW.-,

T is not an unusual thing to hear

Isome parent, vastly troubled, talk,



about “this new disease, adenoids.”

It is just as well for us to know'that

adendids are neither new nor a dis-

' ease. Provided the adenoid» tissue‘is

normal as to its condition there is

nothing to be disturbed about and it

will help the child’s health instead of

harming it.



Right up in the back of thethroat,

well out ofsight, every bhild hasmor—

mally some adenoid tissue. It is there

for the purpose of filtering impurities

out of the air as the nose breathes it

in. When this little cushion of tissue

becomes diseased it grows abnormally

large and obstructs proper l

breathing. Then it is that we say the

child “has adenoids” and if the ob-

struction is at all bad the chances are

that a slight operation is necessary to

clear away the growth. ' __



The same condition that produces

enlargement of adenoid tissue often

works in the same way at the same

time on the tonsils. So it is a very

common thing for a child with “ade-

noids” to suffer also with enlarged

tonsils. ‘



“'hen these conditions shut off nasal

breathing the child becomes a “mouth

breather.” This is bad because air

breathed in by the mouth reaches the

throat and lungs in a raw- state. It is

not warmed to proper temperature in

cold weather; it has not had impuri-

ties sifted from it, and it has not been

moistened. A child breathing after.

§that fashion soon develops nasal ca-

:tarrh, becomes pale, narrow-chested

and puny, has a disagreeable voice,

"pinched facial expression, dropped jaw,

protruding upper lip and teeth, defec-

Jtive hearing and becomes dull in,

school. These symptoms, fortunately,

do not all appear in the same child and

Wit depends upon the degree of obstruc-

‘. tion as to how many of them will come,

a but the adenoid child will be sure to

i have some of them.



Adenoids may be suspected in a child

who sleeps habitually with open mouth,

L





They. were on a back seat in the

long courtroom—Squint Rodaine and

his son, chalkier, yet blacker than ever,

while between them sat an old woman

with white hair which straggled about

her cheeks, a w0man with deep-set

eyes, whose hands wandered now and

then vaguely about her; a wrinkled

woman, fidgeting about on her seat,

watching with craned neck those who

stuifed their way within the already

crammed room, her eyes never still,

her lips moving constantly, as though

.mumbling some never-ending rote.

Fairchild stared at her, then turned to

Harry.



“Who’s that with the Rodaines?”



Harry looked furtively. “Crazy Lau-

ra—his wife.”



“But—-”



“And she ain’t ‘ere for anything

good!” Harry’s voice bore a tone of

nervousness. “Squint Rodaine don’t

‘ even recognize ’er on the street—much

less appear in company with ’er. Some-

thing's ’appening!”



“But what could she testify to?”



“ ’OW should I know?” Harry said it

almost petulantly. “I didn’t even know

she—”



“Oyez, oyez, oyez!” It was the bail-

iff, using a regular district-court intro-

duction of the fact that the inquest was

about to be held. The crowded room

sighed and settled. The windows be-

came frames for human faces, staring

from without. The coroner stepped

forward. _



“YVe are gathered here tonight to in-

quire into the death of a‘man supposed

to be L. A. Larsen, commonly called

‘Sissie,’ whose skeleton was found to-

day in the Blue Poppy mine. What this

inquest will bring forth, I do not know,

but as sworn and true members of the

coroner's jury, I charge and command

you in the great name of the sovereign

State of Colorado, to do your full duty

in arriving at your verdict.”



The jury, half risen from.its chair,

some with their left hands held high

above them, some with their right,

swore in mumbling tones to do their

duty, whatever that might be. The

coroner surveyed the assemblage.



“First witness,” he called out; “Har-

ry Harkins.”



Harry went forward, clumsily seek-

ing the witness chair. A moment later

.he had been sworn, and in five minutes

more, he was back beside Falrchild,

[staring in a relieved manner about

him. He had been questioned regard-

ing nothing more than the mere find-

ing of the body, the identification by

means of the watch, and the notifica-

‘.tion of the coroner.“Fairchild was





called, to suffer no more fromthe quer‘ .





ies of the investigator than Harry.

There Was a. pause. It seemed that the

inquest was Over. A few people begin

to move toward the door—only to halt.

The coroner’s voice had sounded

again:



“Mrs. Laura Rodaine.”



Prodded to her feet by the squint-

eyed man beside her, she rose, and

laughing in silly fashion, stumbled to

the aisle, her straying hair, her ragged

clothing, \her big shoes and shuffling

gait all blending with the wild, eerie

look of her eyes, the constant munch-

ing of the almost toothless mouth.





' Again she laughed, in a vacant, embar~

or four years ago or so, that would

lead you to believe you know some-

thing about the deathl of this man

whose demise we are inquiring?"



The big hand of Harry caught at





'Fairchild’s arm. The old woman had





raised her head, craning her neck and

allowing her mouth to fall open, as she

strove for words. At last:



“I know something. I know a lot.

But I’ve never‘figured it was anybody’s

business but‘ my own. So I haven’t

told it. But I remember—”

t" verge;

stand and held up her hand for the ad-

ministration of the oath. Fairchild

leaned close to his partner.



“At least she knows enough for

that.”



Harry nodded.



“She knows a lot, that ole girl. They

say she writes down in a. book every-

thing she does every day. But what

can she be ’ere to testify to?”



The answer seemed to comein the

questioning voice of the coroner.



“Your name,‘p1ease?” ‘



“Laura Rodaine. Least, that’s the

name I go by. My real maiden name

is Laura Masterson, and—”





“Rodaine will be sufficient. Your

age?”

“I think it’s sixty-four. If I had my





book I could tell. 1—”

“Your book?”

“Yes, I keep everything in a book.



But it isn’t here. I couldn’t bring it.”

“The guess will be sufficient in this



case. You’ve lived here a good many



years, Mrs. Rodaine?" \‘



“Yes. Around thirty-five. Let’s see

——yes, I’m sure it’s thirty-five. My boy

was born here and hes about thirty

and we came here five years before

that.”



“I believe you told me tonight that

you have a habit of wandering around

the hills?”



“Yes, I’ve done that—I do it right

“What, Mrs. Rodaine?” -



The day Sissie Larsen was suppos-

ed -to leave town—that was the day

he got killed.”



‘Do you remember the date?”



“Noe—I don’t remember that.”



“Would it be in your book?”



She seemed to become suddenly ex-

cited. She half rose in her chair and

looked down the line of benches to

where her husband sat, the scar show-

ing plainly in the rather brilliant light,

his eyes narrowed until they were

nearly closed. Again the question, and

again a moment of nervousness before

she answered:



“No—no—it wouldn't be in my book.

I looked.”



“But you remember?”

“I know what I saw.”



“And did it lead to any conclusion?”



“Yes.”

“That somebody had been mur-

“Who—and by whom?”

“I fail to see Why.” The coroner had

stepped down and was facing him.



“Why? Why—yOu’re inquiring into

ty years ago—and you’re basing that

inquiry upon the word‘ of a woman who

is not legally able to give testimony in

any kind of a court or on any kind of

a case! It’s not judicial, it’s not within

the confines of a legitimate, honorable

practice, and it certainly is not just to

stain the name of any man with the

crime of murder upon the word of an

insane person, especially when that

man is dead and unable to defend him-

“I certainly am not. Have you any

she is going to give?”



“Not directly.”



“Then I demand that all the testi-

stricken out and the jury instructed to

disregard it.” -



The official smiled.



“I think otherwise. Besides, this is

merely a coroner’s inquest'and not a

court of action. The jury is entitled to

all the evidence that has any bearing

on the case.”



“But this woman is crazy!”

“That’ s something for the future. In

that case, things might be diflerent.

But I can only follow the law, with the

members of the jury instructed, of

course, to accept the evidence for what

they deem it is worth. You will pro-

ceed, Mrs. Rodaine. What did you see

that caused you to come to this con-

clusion?” . _



“can’t you even stick to the rules

and ethics of testimony?” It was the

final plea of the defeated Farrell. The

coroner eyed him slowly.





"Mr. Farrell,” came his answer, “I

must confess to a deviation from regu-

lar court procedure in this inquiry. It

is customary in an inquest of this char-

acter; certain departures from the us-





. ual rites must be made that the truth

' and the whole truth may be learned.





Proceed, Mrs. Rodaine, what was it

you saw?”



Transfixed and horrified, Fairchild

watched the mumbling, munching

mouth, the sta1ing eyes and st1aying

white hair, the bony, crooked hands as

they weaved before her. From those





toothless jaws a story was about to





come, true or untrue, a story that

would stain the name of his father

with murder! And. that story now was

at its beginning.



“I saw them ' together that after-

noon early,” the old woman was say—

ing. “I came up the road just behind

them, and they were fussing. Both of

’em acted like they were mad at each

other, but Fairchild seemed to be the

maddest.



“I didn’t pay much attention to them

because I just thought they were fight-

ing about some little thing and that

it wouldn’t amount to much. I went

on Sup the gulch—I was gathering flow-



After awhile, the earth shook and

I heard a big explosion, from way down

underneath me—like thunder when it’s

far away. Then, pretty soon, I saw

Fairchild come rushing out of the mine,

and his hands were all bloody. He ran

to the creek and washed them, looking





around to see if anybody was watching





him—but he didn’t notiCe me. Then

' She stepped down and then went

and ‘the son,. fldgetin‘g there again,

craning her neck as before, while Fair-

murder, watched her with eyes fasci-

ALLOWE’EN, the eve of All

Saints’ Day, is a holiday endow-

ed with more mischief making,

witchery, ghosts, goblins and lively

good times than any other festive day

of the year. Poking and prying into

the future with innumerable tests has

always been a chief source of enter-

tainmentat this “all spooks’ day.”

There is no other season of the year

when it is easier to entertain than at

Hallowe’en and by all means you

should plan a. party for this occasion.





 





Call “Spook Convention,” “A

Ghost’s Frolic,” “A Masquerade,” or

just a “Hallowe’en Party,” and carry

the arrangements out accordingly.



Strike 21 note of the festive holiday

in your invitations by writing them on

brown rapping paper with the edges

burned in irregular shapes. If this

does not appeal to you, you might cut

white cardboard in the outlinesmf muf-

fled ghosts, cover the front of the card

with a piece of white muslin through

which two holes have been cut for the

eyes. Underneath" on the card write

something like this.



“On Tuesday eve at eight o’clock



Don a ghostly attire or witch’s frock.



Come over to our house and join in

the fun,



That by our ancestors was begun.



When a whistle the host dorh blow



And the light in the Window is dim

and low,



The frolic will stalt off with a. search



For what was lost by the witch at La.



. Birch.



Of course, the house must be decor-

ated and the spirit of spooks and mys-

tery may well p1edominate heie. Gro-

tesque crepe paper flowers with 11 ierd

faces on them fill window bows and

vases about the house. Losemo oppor-

tunty to make ghosts over bed posts,

standing lamps, a dress form. broom,

etc. Dress up chairs to represent

ghosts and the guests must Sit on their

laps. These. should appear in every

dark and shaded corner. Shade all

lamps with orange - or blue paper,

which gives an uncanny effect.

dow, piercing shrieks seemingly com-

ing from noWhere, alarm clocks go off





ita





unexpectedly, shoes drop from 'over-.





head, etc. Make a. witch clock on the

mantle by using an old clock face, past-

ing eyes, nese andymouth'cut from

black paper on it and attaching black

bats cut from stiff paper at the ends

of the pendulum.’





 





A large spider web patterned on the“





‘ sires.





Ar- .





 





ceiling by means of narrow strips of

crepe paper from which dangle toy

spiders will cause no end of merri-

ment. With all of these, the decora-

tions ,would not be complete without

black cats, bats, witches and jack-’o-'

lanterns to help give the “spooky” ef-

fect. A shock of corn with, jack-o’lan-

terns grouped around and a witch or

ghost peering from behind will give a

startling effect to any corner. Re-

member that paper sacks make very

good masks. Cut eyes and nose and

mouth in them and paste black cats,

Witches and goblins all around.





The entertainment, that part of any

party which, when so planned and car-

ried out that there are no lagging mo-

ments, is really the success of the

evening. When the guests arrive, the

hostess announces that something very

tragic has happened. The witch of La.

Birch has lost her black cat and the

party cannot proceed until it is found.

It is then explained that it is cut in

nine parts (eyes, ears, mouth, two

front paws. two hind paws, body and

tail), and hidden about the room. The

hostess has arranged that each part

counts so many points, with all parts

totaling one hundred. The one receiv-

ing the most points will be the winner

of a prize, which may be a. stuffed

black cat, while the consolation may

be a, lolly-pop with a. black (cat pasted

on it. ‘



Spinning the web of fate will create

a. heap of fun. Draw a. large spider

web on a sheet of smooth brown wrap-

ping paper and in each section write

some fortune, as “you will travel,” “you

will be married soon,” “you will be-

come a lawyer,” etc. With this web





placed up0n a flat surface, the guests,





in turn spin a top upon it and the sec-





,tion upon which the top stops will re-





veal the spinner’s future.





Rainbow ball will cause no end of

fun. Use rainbow-colored crepe paper

cut in four-inch strips. These may be

either long or short, as the hostess de-

O’Ver.,a “core” of paper wind

these strips with a fortune, (written by

the hostess), at the end. If this ball

is made to be two feet or more in

diameter and placed in a» conspicuous

place for the guests to observe before-

hand, it will create much speculation

as to its contents. ' When the time

comes, allow each guest to unwind any

color he may choose as long as he will

accept the fate at the end.





A few pencil and paper games will

afford good amusement if the company

is large. The hostess will pass out

sheets of paper with the following

written upon "it. She will then instruct

them to write opposite each suggestion

a word beginning with cat.



A tree with long oval leaves and bell-

shaped blossoms——Catalpa. '



For odds and ends—Catch-all.



To entrap—Oatch.



A girl's name—Catherine.

One who furnishes food—Caterer.

Give a prize for the one’havingthe





greatest number correct and .a, console- ,





tion for the one having the least.



Of curse, one may bob for apples ’in

a. tub, which is lots of fun, but you may

do something different by‘having your

guests carry apples on a spoon to fill

the witch’s stocking held on a clothes-

line by clothespins. The only rule at

the game is that/the players keep

their right hand behind their backs at

all times.



A unique way to find partners for

lunch and one that induces sociability

is for the hostess to give the girls each

a gummed seal indicating where it is

to be stuck on, such as on the left ear,

under the nose, middle of check, etc.

Of course, she will have to have these

directions written down and correSd

ponding directions given to the boys

when the stitckers are given to them.



The menu for a. Hallowe’en gaiety

should be simple as well as seasonal,

such as the following: Nut bread sand-

wiches with cheese filling, sweet cider,

pickles, doughnuts, glace apples and

pop—corn balls.



Buckwheat cakes, , maple

olives, nuts, ice cream, coffee.



The favors may .be‘ pocket mirrors

pasted to cards under which a. carica-





syrup,





 





ture body of each guest is drawn, the

mirror taking the place of the face, or

they may be pop-corn balls or lolly-

pops dressed up to represent a witch

or ghost. ‘

4' What Size corset should [wear prop-





 





erlywhen‘ my. waist meaéure 'is twenty-





! have a good deal of





seven inches?

There are





pain in my back and side.





" two steps betWeen my kitchen and





diningd'oom and I climb them several

times a day. Do you think this is the

causeof the pain and would a certain

style‘Tcorset“ help me?—Mrs. A. M. C.



Not knowing the condition of your

flesh 01; your build, it is hard to ac-\

curately suggest a-size of corset that

would be best adapted to your require-

mentsfl Would advise, however, that

if your flesh is reasonably solid, and if

the measurements taken are tight,

that you would be well fitted in» a size

"twenty-four, back-laced, or a twenty-

five, front-laged.



It would be very hard to determine

the cause of the pain in your back and

side, not knowing-any other symptoms,

but I feel safe in saying that the climb-

ing of those steps so many times every

day would have a tendency to increase

the irritatidn or the inflammation that

is the cause of the pain. A correctly

fitted corset of a style that would hold

the abdominal organs in place without

binding would undoubtedly help you.





Would advise you to have measure»





ments taken and style recommended

by an experienced corsetier.





 





SOME CANDY RECIPES.





 





.My family likes candy in' which I

uSe raisins so well, that I wonder if

you could send me a recipe or two for

making candy with raisins that would

be different than I make—Mrs. B. B.





To make penuche use three cups of

brown sugar, one cup of milk, half cup

of butter, half cup of broken walnut

meats, half cup raisins, one teaspoon-

f-ul of vanilla. Cook the sugar, milk

and butter together, until it forms a

soft ball when tested'in cold water.

Remove from fire' and add nuts, raisins

and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Put

in buttered tins and when cold out in

squares. '



Another very good raisin candy is

raisin toffee. Use one and» one-half

cups of brown sugar, quarter-cup of

vinegar, two tablespoons of butter, one-

quarter, cup of broken walnut meats,

one-half-cup of finely chopped raisins.

Cook sugar and. vinegar together until

it forms a. hard ball .when tested in

cold water. Add butter and pour on

nuts and raisins arranged in a greased

pan. As it harde'ns mark into squares.





 





THE BABY’S BATH.





 





At what temperature

baby’s bath be, and when should the

baby be given a full bath?—Mrs. C. J.





For the first few weeks the bath





should be at one hundred degrees F.,





Later it may be ninety-eight degrees,

and at six month down to ninety-five

degrees. The first full. bath should be

given when about two w-eeks old.





 





PORK CkKE AND GRAHAM BREAD.





 





Would you please tellme how to

make pork cake, and also graham

bread with molasses?—Mrs. M. O. G.





For pork cake use one pound of fat

pork, one pound of seeded raisins, one

pound\ of seeded dates, one pound of

Currants, one pound figs, one teaspoon-

ful cinnamon, one teaspoonful ground

icloves, two cups molasses, one cup of





‘ s'ugar, one teaspoonful soda, eight sups





flour, one pint of hot water poured

over the flour and let cook. Mix alto-

gether and‘bake.

problems, ‘such Work is preferred to '





getting up original material. The short

essays on popular subjects we have

asked for which would take less than.

a half hour to write, bring about one-

tenth the responses that these Road-

and—Win contests do, which very likely

take over an hour to solve. ‘



The writing of essays requires much

harder thinking than looking for an-

swers and it is human nature not to

want to think hard. But from the

standpoint of training and .the develop-

ment of thought, I believe the essay

is the'best. ‘

HE four- days, September 27-30,

were spent by the Michigan

Chick Hatchers’ Association in

a tour over the southwestern part of

the state visiting the farms of those

who have “done something” with

chickens. ‘



The trip started with an inspection





’ of the M. A. C. poultry plant, with Mr.

Oflspring of ,





E. C. Foreman as guide.

the world’s record Barred Reck were

among the special attractions. The





_ record early producer which started to





lay when three months and twelve

days old, and has laid over one hun-

dred e’ggs since, was the star of the

occasion.



In .an address to the poultry men,

President Friday saidxhe was working

for a.$50,000 appropriation for the poul-

developed a high-class. trade for his

eggs With a Chicago grocery company.



The next attraction was Whittaker’s

Rhode Island Reds at Interlakes Farm.

Few in the state raise better Reds

than the Whittakers, and their birds

certainly were worth looking over. In-

cidentally a watermelbn7feast was en-

joyed by the chicken men. .,



At the ,Keister farm, we saw some

national winners in Black Minorcas

and White Wyan’dottes. . The leader in

the Connecticut laying contest was ‘

the center (it attraction. Her record'is

proof that Professor Foreman knoivs

how to pick the high producers, for

he selected this hen for the contest.



At Robert Anderson’s farm, near

Covert, Bob’s high-producing fertilized

peach orchard was the attraction.





 





 





The Poultry Tourists at the Farm





try departinent so that fifty experi-

enced cullers could be sent out to cull

most all the flocks in the state. In

such a general culling 3,000,000 hens

which are now unprofitable would be

sent to the market and the poultry

business on most all Michiganfarms

put on a profitable basis. ' Such a cam-





1 paign would put Michigan in the front





rank as a poultry state and would add

untold wealth to the agriculture of the

state. ~

Extension director Baldwin said that

he was heartily in accord with the ef-

forts of the Michigan Hatchers’ Asso-





which would make it a means of im-

proving the farm. flock instead of a

means of spreading disease.



At the 'Brott hatchery near Char-

lotte, the tourists saw a unique home-

made hatcher with a capacity of 28,000

eggs, which made as high as eighty-

seven per cent hatches.



At the Kellogg farm near Battle

Creek, two poultry houses 480 feet

loug were inspected. These are prob-

ably the longest poultry houses in the

world, having a capacity of 2,500 chick-

ens each. The'outstanding feature at

the E. D. Taylor farm near Kalamazoo

was‘ the large semi-monitor bank

house.

was in the hillside, thus-affording the

hens good protection from the cold in

winter and from the heat in summer.

of Elmer Shaw, Near South Haven.





Some of his fruit was sampled. A

sampling of his fruit was proof that

Bob can raise peaches. He also is a

White Leghorn enthusiast and has

some very good stock.



Mr. Elmer Shaw, of South Haven,

showed the poultry tourists his well-

kept place and his fine bred White

Leghorns. Mr. Shaw has had good

success with the semi-monitor type of

house. '



The last day of the tour was spent

in Ottawa edunty. The first farm vis-

ited was that of the Strick Sisters at

Forest Grove, where one of the best and

most practical poultry houses in the

state has been erected. This is of the

Foreman type and all the poultrymen

agree that it comes as near to the ideal

in poultry house construction as can

be obtained.



The greater part of the day was





ciation to put their business on a basiL spent in visiting the famous hatcheries





around Holland and Zeeland. And the

day ended with a meeting of the Mich-

igan Chick Hatchers’ Association at“

Lakewood " Farm- A report of this

meeting‘and the culling school at Hol~

land are given in another article.

HEN One looks at John the Bap-

' tied, his life naturally. divides

itself into three parts: His ex«

perience with the Jews, with Jesus and

with Herod. For a long time, centur-

ies in fact, the Jews had anticipated

the return of. the prophet Elijah. It

was believed that his coming; would be

the» ushering in of a new day for the

peeple of Israel. The picturesqueness

of Elijah had never faded out of the

popular imagination. The descriptions

of him inthe Old Testament are brief,-

but they are vivid.

“And he’ said _unto them, ‘What





- manner of man' was he that came up





to meet'you and told you these words?’

And they answer-

ed him, ‘He' was

an hairy man, and

girt with a girdle

of leather about

‘his loins.’ And he

said, ‘It is Elijah

t h e Tishbite.”

“But he himself

went a day’s jour-

ney into the wil-

derness, and came

land sat under a

( juniper—tree: and

he requested for himself that he might

die, and said, ‘It is enough; now, 0,

Jehovah, take away my life; for I am

not better-than my fathers.’ And he

lay down and slept under a-rjuniper-

tree; and, behold, an angel came and

touched him, and said until him, ‘Arise

and eat." And he looked, and, behold,

there wasat his head a cake baken on

And

he .did eat and laid shim down again.

And the angel of Jehovah came again

the second time, and touched him, and

said, ‘Arise and eat, because the jour-

ney is too great for thee.’ And he

arose, anddid eatand drink, and went,

in the strength of that food forty days

and forty nights unto Horeb, the mount

of God. And he came thither unto a

cave, and lodged there; and, behold,

the word of Jehovah came to him, and

he said unto him, “What doest thou

here Elijah?’ ”





OW, a man of whom such words



are written, and. who has fought

forlthe faith and the rights of his peo-

ple, is bound to be a popular figure.

And in an age when books are few and ‘

history is handed on from father to

son by word of mouth, such a charac-

ter can never be forgotten. He had





_ impressed him elf on the imaginations





of his nation a the desert wind tanned

their faces.-

John the Baptist came. When he ap-

peared in public =it was out of the

rocky region where Amos had come,

eight centuries before. He was stern,

.ascetic, commanding. He called men

to repentance. He was blistering in

his denunciation of the evils of his

time. “0, generation of vipers,” he

cried, “Who hath warned you to flee

from the wrath to come ?” His preach-

ing was attended by thousands of peo-

ple. “Then “went out unto him Jeru-

salem, and all J-udea, and all the region

and they were

baptized of him in the river Jordan,

confessing their sins.” In the midst

of this 'crush of people, men began to

ask themselves, “Is not this Elijah that

should come ?” But when their anxious

curiosity could endure it no longer and

they~,.\_asked _him if-he were the long

lookedrfor. Elijah, he replied with a de-

‘cided, “No!”' And when pressed for

‘ > Our Weeély Sewage-By N. A. McCafle N





[wide Open for John to make the claims





of a prophet, he refused. He said he





was /only, the way-maker for another.

No.jealousy ever found lodgment in his

heart. No words of envy ever crossed

his lips. Professional jealousy is a

dreadful thing. It sometimes is seen

among doctors. It creeps in among

lawyers. It is—by no means unknown

among ministers. It sometimes takes

a bitter form among military men. It

is an easy disease to catch, and hard

to be rid of. John had all the excuse

in the world for having it. But the

grace of God in his heart kept him

from it. It. never laid hold of him.

Toward the last, he said of Christ, “He’

must increase, but I must decrease.”

Once, discouragement and depression

got the better of him. Kept in prison

for a long time, the worm of doubt be-

gan to ‘prey upon his soul. Was this

really the Anointed One, was it the

Messiah who had been talked of for

centuries, 01' was it perhaps—what?

Could it be an impostor? In the full-

ness of his agonizing perplexity he

sent one of his faithful disciples to in-

quire: _“Art thou he that should come?”

The answer he received seems to have

been sufficient. It is not to be won-

dered at that Jesus said that no man

was greater than John. Met at the

same time he said that any one who

was in the kingdom was greater than

he. What did he mean?



John has been called the last of the

prophets. His message was the mes-

sage of repentance. Christ brought

that message but also he did more

than that. He came, ushering in a

new age, the age of the Kingdom of

God. The first words he uttered when

he began preaching were, “The time

is fulfilled, the kingdom of heaven is

at hand.” John c0u1d preach repent-

ance but it was not for him to say

that the kingdom had actually come.

Repentance, as Jesus teaches it, is the

entrance to something far greater. It

is the foundation ‘Of a new house. It

is the raw material out of which some-

thing enduring is built. It is the tunnel

through\the mountains, through which





the traveler passes, into valleys that





are rich with blossoming flowers and

singing birds. Says Carlyle, “In re«

pentanCe man is purified: it is the

grand Christian act.” ’

the bars of a county jail talking,r with

a young blade who was up for stealing.

He had a tear-producing story, and

asked my help. I told the sheriflf he

seemed very sorry. “Yes," said the

sheriff, “sorry that he’s caught.” Real

repentance is not sorry you are caught.

It is sorry for the act of wrong-doing.

whether you are caught or not. It goes

deep. If there has been an injury com-

mitted against someone," repentance is

not satisfied until the injury has been

squared. Sometimes the thing has gone,

so far it has passed beyond the power.

of man to square it, no matter how

much in earnest one may he. Tolstoy’s

great book, “Resurrection,” is based

on that idea. A man has committed a

great injustice to a woman, and wants

to atone’for it, but cannot. But most

of us can make right, the evils we have

committed against others. An aroused

conscience is a mighty instrument of

action. John Bunyan was reared

MANY CATTLE ON ’FEED.

‘_7—"—" .

S compared with a. year ago, the

number of cattle going to feed-lets

will be nearly forty per cent greater,

according to reports from Chicago re-

search specialists. Good profits reports

ed by allerge number of feeders last

year is 116 doubt partly responsible for

this trend. ‘





RACKSFOR LEGUME, LEAVES.

' \ _ , \ o

E like to use soy-bean leaves and

clover leaves in wet mashes for

1115115 and in slaps; for hogs. To get





. 'these leaves- is not difficult.





We usually use a neck made of any

sort of old laths on which the hay is

thrown from the mows. The leaves

fall down through the lathe on the

floor, and the hay is thrown down to

the feeding room below. In thisway





> we get plenty of leaves for-this use.





Méiny prefer to cut legume hay for

hens and hogs, but! we prefer to use

only the leaves since the real value of

a legume hay lies in the leaves—W.

E. Farver.





ROCK NEEDED TO BUILD MODERN

HOG.





H'E skeleton frame-work of the

modern hog is quite different from

,that formerly grown, for larger and

stronger bone is generally wanted by





. swine men today. To build such bones





requires additional mineral material in

the ration. The basic ration for hogs,

which is corn, lacks in these mineral

elements. Hogs fed a ration where the

mineral elements are lacking «will usu-

ally not put on flesh as rapidly nor grow

so well as animals that have access to

limestone and other mineral constitu-

ents. In one test in Ohio it was found

that hogs receiving. corn and linseed

meal, gained only 82.5 per cent as

much as did other groups which had

access to limestone “and ground rock

phosphate. One of: the simplest min-





» eral supplements for hogs is secured





through mixing‘ equal parts of salt,





bone meal and air-slaked’lime.

HOGS FOR THE CORN FIELD.





XPERIENCE has shown that ,the



most desirable weights for {hogs

used in hogging down corn are from

seventy—five to one hundred twenty-

five pounds. Such animals are active

and make better foragers than heavier'

stock.



Many Michigan farmers who prac-_

tice this method of harvesting the corn

crop have learned that it is well to get

the pigs accustomed to green corn fod-

der before turning them into the corn

field. It is also well to feed old corn

with this green fodder for a few days

previous to starting the work as corn

huskers. When the ears are blazed or

dented, the pigs can be turned in and

may be allowed to stay until the field

is cleaned up, or the weather becomes

unfavorable. >



These farmers have 'also learned

that it is not economical to turn the

pigs into a field' larger‘than they can

clean up in about twenty days. The ,

practice of planting corn that matures

.at different dates is becoming more

common. . '



This method‘of handling the corn





“crop saves labor in cutting, husking,





cribbing and feeding. Better animals

‘are also developed. The. manifie is

uniformly distributed in the field where

it is wanted. organic matter is also

evenly dsitributed over the fields to be

_plowed under for the benefit of sucri

ceedlng crops. The gains made by the

huge are put on more economically "

WHEAT





Demand for wheat in the last three

months failed to support,- prices at the

early season level but a survey of the





situation shows that United States

wheat has been‘ absorbed into con~

sumptive and export channels at a





gratifying rate. Receipts at primary

markets since July 1 have not been as

large as last year but, taking changes

in the visible supply at terminals into

consideration, about the same amount

has disappeared as in the correspond-

ing period last year and forty per cent

more than in the ten-year average.





CORN





Corn prices have advanced about .10

cents a bushel in the last month- Do-

mestic distributing demand for corn,

especially from the southwest, has

been exceptionally brisk, and indus-

tries have increased their purchases.

There is some export buying although

clearances are running the smallest

since November last year. Prices have

had an upward trend in site of the

heaviest receipts at primary markets





on record for the corresponding seasonr





with the exception of a year ago.





OATS





Primary receipts of oats from Aug-

ust 1, the beginning of the oats year,

to September 30 total 48,532,000 bush-

els as compared with 61,824,000 bush-

els last year and an average of 65,691,-

000 bushels in the ten preceding years.

Demand has been~ practically up to

normal as shown by a disappearance

of 49,231,000 bushels from commercial

channels compared with 33,543,000

bushels last year and a ten-year aver-

age of 51,424,000 bushels.





BEANS





The bean harvest is slower than ex-

pected so that dealers are having a

hard time filling orders for early Octo-

Prices f. o. b. Michigan

shipping points have advanced to $5.75





" per 100 lbs, again of 75c inra week

for choice hand-picked whites, with red





kidneys at $6." The percentage of loss





1





 





pared with a normal of eight or nine

per cent. ’The consuming demand for

beans is unusually good. .





3 ' HAY





Both'receipts of hay at the leading

markets and country offerings are

light. Dealers’ stocks are moderate

also. Prices are firm as demand is im—

proving.- Car shortage is restricting

the movement to some extent. .





FEEDS





The feed market has subsided as

demand is light and offerings have in—

creased. Export buying is a minor fac:

tor. Wheat feed production is at a

high level.. This year’s production of

cottonseed meal and ‘linseed meal is

expected to run 25 per cent higher

than last year.





- - SEEDS





Clover and timothy prices are hold-

ing up well." Reports of clover yields

from many sections are disappointing

and the big timothy seed movement is





POTATOES





The potato market sagged lastweek

although the carlot movement from the

producing sections declined. Such

shipments were not above normal for

this season of the year but since this

is the period in which marketings usu-

ally reach high point the pressure is

still heavy. Northern sacked round

whites are quoted at 7OC@$1 per cwt.

in the Chicago carlot market and at

$1.15@1.45 in other cities.





BUTTER ‘ .





The volume of offerings of storage

butter seems to be the chief factor in

regulating butter prices at the present

time. Current receipts are insufficient

and storage operators are offering just

enough to sustain the market or main-

tain a slight upward trend. Butter is

disappearing into consumption at an

unusually rapid rate. Storage hold-

ings in the United States on October

Prices for 92-score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 43c; New York

440. In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs

sells for 36@37c. . ‘

APPLES ,



The carlot apple movement is around

1,000 cars daily which is about normal

or a little above. Storage buying is

under way as it is believed. that the

supply. especially of—‘late keepers, is

not so excessive as it appeared early

in the season. Greenings are quoted

at $3.50@4; Jonathans $4.25@5.50 and

York Imperials $3.50@4.50 a barrel in

'leading markets.





POULTRY AND EGGS





The preliminary report on cold stor-

age holdings of eggs on October 1 was

7,902,000 cases compared with 6,275;000

cases last year and a five-year average

of 5,926,000 cases. The reduction dur-

ing October amounted to'1,704,000 cas-

es, the largest on record for that

month. The .fiveyear average October

decrease is 867,000 cases. Prices con-

tinued to advance last week. Poultry

prices are declining with still lower

levels not improbable. Buying for stor-

age is getting under way, although the

season is starting nearly a month lat-

er than usual. ,
