CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





None of us will get very far if we

rely alone on our own experience.





Each of us adds an iota to the

world’s fund of knowledge but we can

add more if we make more use of that

which is already available.





 





 





Present prices for farm products

would be all right if other things would

“deflate” accordingly.





It is human nature to require much

from others but to lay light responsi-

bilities upon our own shoulders.





Lowering the cost of production is a

present—day economic need. It can

best be done by getting more eggs per

hen, more milk per cow, and more

grain per acre, and caring for less

chickens, cows and acres.





ICHIGAN farm-



The . ers have a dis:

tmct advantage ovei



Home those of many of the

Market better agricultural





states from the fact

that we have a great industrial popu-

lation as compared with our agricul-

tural production, and the further fact

that our production is so varied in

character as to be more largely ab-

sorbed by our home markets than is

the case with most other great agri-

cultural states. Michigan is justly

known as a great fruit state. We have

a. good fruit crop this year. Many

growers are finding it difficult to move

their apples at anything like satisfac~

tory prices, yet our official crop statis—

tician has estimated that we have pro-

duced just about enough apples this

year to “keep the doctor away.” In

other words, our crop would just-about

provide “an apple a. day” for every

man, woman and child in the state for

the year.



Notwithstanding this fact-a consid-

erable volume of fancy western apples

are finding a market in our state at

fancy prices, while some of our own

product is passing it on the railroad

sidings enroute to points further west.

When this state of affairs exists it is

evident that we have not paid the at-

tention to our home market for this

fruit which its importance merits. And

what is true in this case is also true in

,many other lines of special produc-

: tiOl’l.



. We have made no small progress in

. . Working out the solution of the farm-

‘ wer’a marketing problems. in this state

during recent years, but this good





 





 

 





great opportunity exists for the devel-





opment of the home market. The first

impmtant step in this direction should

be the further standardization and

grading of our products, ,to make them

compare with the best available in the

country. Then a campaign should be

launched to increase the consumption

of home- grown products by Michigan

consumers.



With this great home market right

at our door we have the advantage of

all our competitors who must pay a

high freight charge to leach it. If we

do not cash in on this advantage it

will be our own fault.





E Americans do

n o t c all for





Pliease beef at meal times as

“33 frequently as We 'did

The Meat a decade or two ago.





During the past fif-

teen years the amount of beef served

has been gradually reduced, the quan-

tity being cut about twenty per cent

since 1907.





No doubt industrial conditions and

the retail prices of beef have had

much to do with this reduction. If

unfavorable conditions should contin-

ue, it can hardly be expected that

there will be any change toward a

larger consumption. But if, on the

other hand, the way is made easier and

more economical for turning the fat-

tened steer on the farm into palatable

steaks on the consumer’s table, then

one may safely guess that the per cap-

ita consumption would be,increased.-

' However, another influence of first

importance in boosting or cutting con-

sumption, is the quality of the beef

which the consumer gets. The efforts

of progressive beef breeders and feed-

ers in Michigan to make it possible for

consumers to secure a high grade of

beef, if they so choose, are aiding ma-

terially in stimulating consumer ae~

mand for cuts from well-finished

beeves. This movement, together with

the fact that the greatest meat con-

suming markets of the world are at

our very front door, is sufficient reason

for attracting the attention of beef

cattle men in other sections to the

advantages ‘of Michigan for supplying

beef of quality to hungry millions and

thereby stimulating consumption.





S the lowly potato





The getting lowlier? A

Lowly peek into the homes

Potato of our city cousins





causes us to wonder

whether or not the

use of potatoes is on the'decline. The

facts are that the consumption in cm-

American homes is far and away be-

low that of European homes:





There is some reason for thinking

that this might be the case. -Here is

a situation that is too frequently enact-

ed in the average city home of today.

When the good housewife proceeds to

cook. potatoes she takes in her hands

the tubers, dirt and all,

peels them—a task which is hard on

delicate or well-kept hands—and then

proceeds to cook and serve. That af-

ternoon at the club she may protest

that her hands are made unpresent-

able by coming in contact with raw

potato.





Then another member suggests that

this situation is avoided by using sub-





. stitutes like rice and macaroni. These





come in neat, small packages and are

served so easily—just pour what you

wish into a little water, and heat. The

convenience,cleanliness, lack of waste

all appeal to these women of our cit-

ies, and this appeal is hard ‘to over-

come.



But potato growers should not be

disheartened. Their present predica-

ment is something like that of the

dairymen a few years ago. About ten





   





washes and -





years back the writer was grieved to





and girls the merits of the goods put

out by these companies. Now, how-

ever, this has been changed and one

will find almost without exception a

wholesome appreciation of the value





‘of milk by our city school children.





Thanks‘largely to the aggressive and

constructive publicity Work of our

dairy organizations.





With the Anglo-Saxons of Europe

consuming from ten to twenty bushels

per capita, and we less than three,

might there not come a real economic

advantage to the potato industry by

preaching the message of health and

economy resulting frOm a more gener-

ous use by consumers?

Department the civilized state.

But when fire gets

out of bounds it becomes one of man’s

most destructive enemies.



In rural communities especially has

fire on a rampage been a. formidable

foe, one almost unconquerable after

it gained icothold. This has been so

because rural folks have been minus

the means of defense against its rav-

ages.



In Gratiot county an attempt is be-

ing made to organize against this com-

mon enemy. Some seventy-eight farm-

ers around Emerson have organized a

volunteer fire department. Each house-

hold has purchased a portable extin-

guisher and should a fire break out

members of the volunteer company

will respond to calls with their fire

fighting equipment.



This plan has been successful in

other rural communities and it seems

a logical and practical one in these

days of telephones and automobiles. It

is another cooperative effort which

will prove the value of developing to

useful purposes the interdependence

of people, especially those who have

common objects to attain.





NE of the great

A indications that

. the dairy business is



Stitch being put on a solid

in Time and business-like ba-

sis is the way tuber-

culosis eradication campaigns are be-

ing carried on in all parts of the

country.



If this work was left neglected, T.

B. would spread in the human family

and soon dairy products would be

shunned because of the fear of con-

tracting the disease. But with the as-

surance of clean products there is no

limit to the various avenues of use

which can be developed for dairy prod-

ucts. So, in reality this eradication

work is a step in the' right direction

for business’reasons as well as for the

purpose of health observation.



In Michigan this work has been car-

ried on systematically and effectively.

The state has cleaned up eight coun-

ties and is working in sixmore. In

thirteen other counties the board of

supervisors have conducted the work

and twelve others are arranging for

such campaigns. Thus thirty-nine of

the eighty-three counties are after the

dreaded T. B.



The state appropriation for this

work is about exhausted but it is esti-

mated that about $3,000,000 more of

state" money will bring this eradication

work to a successful conclusion. This

amount is small compared to what

they have to spend in some of the

eastern states. In Delaware county,

New York, alone; it would cost this to

finish the job, because there about

sixty per cent of the herds are infect-

ed. In Michigan the average infection

Now, when the percentage it

work, for the losses can be held down

to a minimum. If the work is neglect-

ed, infection- will spread and the cost

of eradication will greatly increase.

The old saying, "a stitch in timewm

save nine,” is very applicable to this

kind of work. The" job should be fin-

ished as soon as possible.





In some cases there has been com-

plaint on the part of dairymen who

have been hit hard by the test as to

the compensation receivedand the de-

lay in its paynfent. In most of these

cases, however, we believe that the

loss was less than would have been

the case had the disease been allowed

to progress still further. Certainly the

aggregate loss will be minimized by

the early eradication of the disease,

while the public benefit will be im-

measurable.

GAIN I’ve been pursuin’ my favor-



ite readin’, Mr. Webster’s Book 0’

Words. By readin’ that book you find

out a lotta things you don’t know what

you thought you did know.



For inst, Hallowe’en ain’t what we

think it is. Mr. Webster says his

the eve All-Hallows, and hallow means

to keep holy. Now, if that’s the case,

there’s some folks what have a funny

way of keepin’ things holy.

But takin’ the wheels off a your bug-

and the cow in the chicken coop don’t

belong to the same category. ,There

ain’t no holy connecshun with them

you’re goin' to die.





Seems like preachers’ sons is real

active on such a holy night. For inst,

there was Rev. Simpkin’s boy Sam,

what was very active that night, and

speshully,in what you call my prox-

imity.



When I goes around the corner

to Brown's repair shop a wire across

the sidewalk takes my hat off, and

when I go for my hat I fall, over an-

other wire and hurt my dignity. And

after I get my hat and am getting up

somebody throws a sack of water and

hits me right in the middle of the side-

walk. If you ever got hit there you

know how it, feels. When I recovered

what you call my composure I see Sam

runnin’ around the corner in what you

call a unreligus manner. . ’



When I come to go home they had

my Oughto tied to the hitchin’ post in

back. So when my Oughto started to

go the hitchin’ post went, too, and

little Sammie Simpkins was around

the corner lafiin’ rebeliously. Maybe

Sam was tryin’ to show me how they

initiate ’em in his dad’s church. But

I Was so full of what you call animos-

‘ity and discomposure that I didn’t stop

to find out, but pulled the old iron

hitchin’ post right along with me.

answering the question, “which has the

words, “are two-hundred and three-

The only intelligent answer that the

practical poultryman could make would

be that both factors of production are

independent The inherited capacity

fer production limits the number of

eggs each individual hen can p1 oduce

but the fact remains that most hens do

not respond to the full degree of their

inheritance due to faulty feeding and

housing conditions.



Michigan hens are credited with an

average production of seventy eggs per

year. This average could be increased

to one hundred forty eggs per hen by

fareful culling, supplemented with the

proper feeding and housing Higher

averages are possible but will depend

primarily on intelligent breeding for

increased egg production '

A Tile House of the Foreman Type,

try housing is one of the most import-

ant problems in maintaining healthy

and productive stock. The success or

failure in poultry raising rests primar-





' ily in the health of the flock and most





of the more common diseases, such as

ioup, \chicken pox and tuberculosis,

develop and spread quickly because of

lack of sunlight, pure air, dryness, and





' in general because of unsanitary and





unwholesome conditions in the poul-





' try house.





The only absolute rule in poultry

sanitation and disease control is pre-

vention, and unless you make it hard

where now you make it easy for dis-

ease to develop, you will have to fight

loss and failure every day of your

poultry career.



It costs no more to build a poultry

house than it does to build a house for

poultry. A11 unsatisfactory poultry

house costs too much, no matter how

little is paid for it. Expensive houses

are not advocated, but underlying» the

building of the poultry house, whether

it be for one hundred or one thousand



, hens, there are certain essentials that

must be observed if one hundred per

cent satisfaction is realized.



Climatic conditions throughout the

"United States show considerable var-

iation. For this reason poultry hous-

ing becomes a local problem. Houses

that operate satisfactorily in Missouri

or California may not be the most





- suitable type for Michigan. The poul-





try house _ illustrated herewith has

been designed especially for Michigan





and has now passed beyond the ex- "





perimental stage. It is giving uni-

£0.1me good results in all sections of

the state and has been constructed in

units from twenty feet to 480 feet in

.. length with: equally satisfactory re-

suits- ‘

house must be efficiently lighted to in-

sure the maximum am'ount of sun-

shine properly distributed in the

house.



The sky-light or over-head lighting

system is adopted in photographic

work because it gives the most in-





providing a healthy atmosphere, which

is conducive to comfort, cheerfulness

and heavy production.



During the summer months the

warm air which has previously been

retained should be released, in order~

that the hens be retained comfortable

during the opposite extreme of intense

heat. A satisfactory house must cope

with the two extreme weather condi-

to estimate that an additiOnal hour is

crowded into the working day of every

hen, where this system of lighting is

used in poultry-house construction.

During December and January the

sun’s rays fall at an angle of forty-five

degrees. The skylights, properly ar-

ranged permit the sunlight to pene-

trate to the back wall during these

short days, whereas in most hen—hous-

es the sun has considerable difficulty

in gaining entrance at all.



The Modified King system of venti-

lation also adds to the comfort of the

fowl by removing the cool vitiated air

from the floor by means of metal or

box‘flues that come within eighteen

inches of the floor and extend a foot

or two above the roof. The warm pure





Road Signs that Sell Produce





1TH the good roads program be-



coming almost universal, many

farmers are finding that a sign prop-

erly made and placed on the road in

front of their homes willrhelp them to

sell the surplus of their gardens, much

of which is otherwise wasted because





 





the owners cannot take time off to go





‘to town with little dabs of beans, on- .

sign makes it possible to sell a little

stuff each day, thereby avoiding a big

rush on the part of the producer and

the materials can. be turned over to

the consumer when they are just right,

.rather than some being over-ripe while

other units are yet green.



Last year C. L. Van Brussel, a farmer

of Kalamazoo county, sold $150 worth

of sweet corn off of an acre of ground

via his road sign. This in addition to

surplus odds and ends from the gar-

den, windfalls from the orchard, and

live and dressed poultry.



—, In making one of these road signs,

by all means place them perpendicular

to the reader:





   





ther than parallel to it.





Advertising men claim that the perpen-

dicular sign is five times more “pull-

ing” than the parallel one. A good

method'is to set ordinary steel fence

posts four feet apart in concrete and

when the cement is to be put in, be

sure the corresponding crimps are lev-

el. The crimps or pieces of steel that

have been cut out and bent up to fas-

ten the wire on may be used to hold

the individual signs. Let the top of

the posts be about seven feet from

the ground. _Cut boards eight inches

wide and on one side fasten two wire

holders. The boards to be most leg-

ible ought to be painted black, with

“Onions” or other products to be sold,

printed on in white. At the top fasten

permanently a twelve-inch board with

“For Sale” painted on it, using the

same colors. Each board should con-

tain the name of but one product and

this should be printed on both sides so

autoists from either direction may

read.





These signs should be made by a

sign painter as their attractiveness has

as much value as the attractiveness of

a printed advertisement. By having

the individual boards all painted and

printed at the same time, the cost will

not. be excessive ”and when a' product

becomes available, as sweet corn, the

“Sweet Corn” sign can be hung on.

This will saVe the bother of finding

chalk and eraser that will persist in

being lost and it makes sure of neat

and (attractive attention-catchers at all

times. On most farms the produce

sold in a single season that ordinarily

goes to waste will make these ”signs on

the road a very attractive investment.

tions which we experience in mid-win-

ter and mid-summer. Ordinarily the

tightly constructed house that per-

forms well in winter is too hot in

summer for comfort and the house

that is open enough to provide cool

conditions during the summer usually

makes an excellent cold storage dur-

ing the winter months. It is these two

extremes that affect production, and

therefore a good house is expected to

perform satisfactorily during the cold-

est and warmest days of the year.



Economical construction is possibly

one of the first essentials that Will en-

gage our attention when planning the

poultry-house. It is right that this

question should receive our most ear-

nest attention. It doesn’t require a

hen sanitarium to stimulate produc-

tion, just homeopathic doses of sun-

light, fresh air, dryness, combined

with uniform and comfortable temper—

ature conditions.



It is not the initial cost of the

Wiong kind of a poultry- -house that

Wiecks the ownel, but it is the daily

later cost—the cost in sick hens, in

low production, in loss of vitality, in

wasted feed, unnecessary labor, and

a rapidly depreciating building. In the

final analysis therefore, the cost can

be judged only by the returns.on the

investment.



In estimating the capacity of var-

ious sized houses, the floor space per

’bird is the usual method of reckoning,

although not entirely the most accu~

rate. Every square foot of your poul-

try-house should be made to pay in-

terest, as much as possible, on the

sum invested. This calls for the avoid-

ance of every square foot of waste

space and the using to the maximum

degree, of every square foot of. space.

Hoppers, nests, water fountains and

all other equipment should be elevated

at least fifteen inches from the floor.

In units of one hundred birds, three

and one-half square feet floor space

should be allowed per bird Where the





Modified King system of ventilation is '





installed. A11 abundance of sweet pure

air is as necessary as the floor space

allotted in maintaining health and vig-

or. In units of from five hundred to

one thousand, three square feet per

bird should be sufficient, and in units

less than one hundred the floor space





should vary from four to six feet, de-“





pending on size of the floor.





Dryness is one of the most important .





factors in maintaining a healthy and





productive flock. Cement floors prop«



erly constructed are possibly the most

durable and satisfactory type of floors:

A filling of from eight to twelve inch-‘

es of cinders should be used where’ '

THE purchase of feedstuffs is the

second largest item of expense to

the American farmers, especially'the

dairy farmers. Despite this fact farm-

ers give little attention to the subject

of feed buying. The department of

agriculture has in preparatwn a bulle-

tin which will give the farmers useful

information in regard to buying feed,

the availability of foodstuffs locally

produced which may be used as substi-

tutes and kinds of feeds to buy for

most economical results-under various

cituations.

fourteen members of the association

aSking‘damages at the rate of, five

cents a pound for tObacco alleged to

have been sold by the growers outside

ANOTHER PIG SURVEY.





THE department of agriculture in

cooperation with the post office

department will conduct a pig survey,

beginning early in November.- Fifteen

thousand questionnaires will’ be dis-

tributed by the rural free delivery car-

riers, and every agricultural section in

the nation will be covered. Each car-

rier will secure statements from ten

representative farmers along his route.





 





BIG lNCREASE IN HORSE SALES.

NO JOKING—AEROPLANE MAY BE-

EQUIPMENT.





HE aeroplane is‘ the most recent



addition to the farm 'machinery

equipment: If the expectations of Dr.

E. D. Ball, of the department of agri-

culture are fully realized, it will be an

important factor in control of the boll

weevil and some other insect pesto of

the farm and orchard.



Some time ago an experiment was

made with orchard dusting by aero-

plane in an Ohio orchard with eflec—

tive results. This led to the sugges-

tion that the aeroplane might be ef~

fectively used in dustingcotton fields

to kill the boll weevil.





When Dr. Ball was in the south he

saw this plan tried out very success-

fully in a. Mississippi cotton growing

section. The dusting plane swept

across the cotton fields back and forth,

distributing a visible strip of dust 150

feet wide on the cotton plants, and it

was found that the boil weevil and

other insects were killed in a strip

300 feet; wide.



With the attachments now in use

the operator was able to reach every

.part of the field, whether the area was

large or small, in narrow corners in

the edge of the forest and under trees

in the open fields. ‘ " '

sees hope of some relief to the pres-





ent economic situation of the farmer.





So all over Michigan the crop is

receiving a great boom. Figures re-





cently gathered by our supervisors

show an unusual increase in the

acreage of this crop since the last cen-

sus reports were taken. In Eaton coun-

ty for instance, the increase has jump-

ed from 1,746 acres in 1919, to 2,475

acres in 1922. In ClintOn county the

increase is from 1,043 to 2,630 acres.

In Saginaw county it has gone from

483 acres to 1,036 acres; in Antrim

from 2,210 to 5,003 acres; in Ingram,

from 1,061 to 2,819 acres, and so on.



But apparently we have merely be-

gun. In the face of this big increase,‘

it is the opinion of well-informed farm-

ers that we have only started in the

production of this crop, and that we

should be growing several times the

present acreage to get the greatest

economy out of our farming business.

It is their belief that the acreage

should, and will, be doubled again and

again, before we reach the point of

economic saturation. The thing for

the individual farmer to keep in mind

then, is that the fellow who first ar-

rives at the point of optimum satura-

tion is the one who will first reap his

full reward.





rogressln the Barberry War





.Wfidt Has Been Done [72 Michigan to Remove my Enemy of Our Grain Crops





BSERVATIONS made during the

0 course of the national govern-

ment’s barberry eradication ac-

tivities in Michigan this year, have

convinced Walter F. Reddy, state lead—

er of the federal forces, that the long-.

or the completion of the campaign is

delayed just so much more difficult

will be the final triumph over what

plant disease experts declare to be the

principal source of black stem rust.

Mr. Redthr bases his opinion on the

fact that his scouts this summer dis-





covered an, aVerage of ten escaped,





areas to each county visited in south-

ern Michigan. Each wild area con-

tained an average of 518 bushes. Eve-

ry year new bushes spring up in these

areas and new wild patches appear as

a result of birds carrying seeds from

cultivated common barberries on city





~ lawns or in country farm yards.





The result is that the limited gov-

ernment forces have -a hard time





keeping pace with the natural in-





crease of the bushes. So far they have

managed to wage a winning fight and

have gained the upper hand on the





'barberries in three tiers of counties





in the south. They dug up 100,000

bushes this year but while they were

getting . controkof the situation in

southern Michigan they are sure the

barberries increased in counties not

yet reached in the farm to farm sur-

vey. How extensive this increase may

have been is problematical. It may

have approached a figure equal to the

total removals for 1922—in which case

there are just as many barberries to





be destroyed as there were before,





though not scattered over quite so





7' wide a territory.





The remedy, Mr. Reddy believes, is





z a concentrated attack with every re-





source of state and federal govern-

ment backing the campaign. Instead

of a dozen. counties, twenty or thirty

should be surveyed. Public funds

should be supplied to employ the nec-



essary common labor to eradicate wild





"are”; so that the; trained scouts could





 





released for their specialty of lo-

. that t





the persons on whose places they are

growing, as is required by law;



This year Mr. Reddy had $20,000 of

federal money for his campaign.





He





believes a state appropriation of. at

least an equal amount would hasten

the day of the state’s final freedom

from the scourge of black stem rust

and contribute importantly to cutting

down the final cast of eradicating

Michigan’s barberries.



From July 1 to October 1 the gov-

ernment leader had eighteen men in

the field. They visited the farms in

nine counties. The towns previously

had been surveyed. They averaged

eighty-one locations to the county,

thirty-eight of these being city prop-

erties on which barberries were found.

The average number of bushes per lo-

cation was eighty-nine and the aver-

age per county 7,286. In each city lo-

cation sixteen was the average num-

ber of bushes with 155 bushes the av-

erage for the rural patches.





Oakland county, one of the last to

be reached in this Summer’s major

offensive, had 114 country locations.

Up to the first of September, 20,000

bushes had been found and removed,

more than 16,000 being wild barber-

ries. When the forces were withdrawn

on October 1 two men remained for

two weeks to try to clean up recently

discovered escaped areas. The first

week they removed 4,000 bushes so

that Oakland county’s total for the

season assuredly vfill pass the 25,000

mark. Allegan county at present leads

in the total number of bushes remov-

ed, with an aggregate of more than

50,000 in the three—year period 1920-22.





In nineteen counties in the southern

part of the state 140,000 bushes have

been found and removed since Janu-

ary 1, 1920. Before that time, in the

entire state, as a result of the town to

town survey, 120,000 bushes had been

found. ' ’ ‘



In discussing the campaign for the

eradication of the common barberry

it must be borne in mind that this is

the bush held responsible by agricul-

tural scientists for harboring the black.

stem rust spores in the spring when

they are developing into a menace. to

the cereal crops. As far as can be

learned by extensive experiments the

barberry is the only hostyplant for‘

rust spores. Without it they. cannot

get the early start they need to reach

the grain in time to damage it to any

appreciable extent, and they may not

reach it at all. g -

BREEDING FAT EWES.





 





Will fat ewes have as many lambs

as those that are! not so fat? Some

claim that they will and, others say

they will not—A. M.



Excessive fat in any animél affects

the fecundity if this condition is con—

tinued for any considerable time. ,If

lean sheep were fed up fat and bred

at once, the condition would have but

little effect, but if they are kept in this

abnormal condition for some time, it

does affect them and they fail to breed

and become sterile.



It is the same with cattle or horses,

'or even hogs. The females of the beef

breeds of cattle that are kept in show

condition quite often fail to breed, and

the same with horses or hogs.

Breeding animals should only be fed

to keep them in healthy, thrifty con-

dition. The fecundity of herds have

been ruined by keeping them for show

purposes.





 





REMOVING LINE FENCES.





 





Part of a line fence is temporary.

Pine stumps have. been hauled and

the rest is wire fencing stretched on

trees and stumps. It has been used

that way for about twenty years. Could

the other party stop me from putting

up a line fence?—W. B.



There is a duty and consequent

right in each party to maintain his

part of the fence. There seem to have





rights of the parties in the fence when

built, other than the right to have it

maintained. But it is generally held

that notwithstanding the fence is built





in common. If the fence is not satis-

f - tory and the parties cannot agree,

the fence viewers should be called in.

to the gallon is sufficient.



An old recipe for whitewash, issued

by the lighthouse board of the treas-

ury department, said to be very good

for outdoor exposure, is as follows:



Slake half a. bushel of unslaked lime

with boiling water, keeping it covered

during the process. Strain it and add

a peck of salt, “dissolved in warm wa-

ter and boiled to a thin paste; half a.

pound of powdered Spanish’whiting

and a. pound of clear glue, dissolved in

warm water; mix the’se well together

and let the mixture stand for several

days. Keep the wash thus prepared

in a. kettle or portable furnace, and

when used, put it on as hot as possi-

with painters’ or" whitewash

brushes.





 





FEEDING FROSTED CORN T

’ HORSES. ‘





 





I have some corn fodder which was

frosted before it was ripe; I have, cut

it and shocked it. Would this fodder

be good feed for horses, providing I

fed a little hay and cats with it? The

horses seem to like it. Is there any

such thing as horses getting worms

from feeding cornstalks?——R. V.





It will not be injurious to feed frost-

ed fodder corn to horses, or any other

kind of live stock. No one knows if

frost injures the food value of plants.

Corn that is out after being frozen,

even quite severely, and put into the

silo seems to make good feed.

kinds of stock like it and do well on

it. Some seem to think they get just

as good results from this corn as from

corn ensiloed before being frosted.

One thing is sure, however, quite a lit-

tie is lost in frosted corn. Many of

the leaves dry up and are lost entire-

ly. But the leaves are a comparative-

1y small part of the plant.

still pay to ensilo the stalks.

has made him more money per tree‘

than any other variety.



Among the other trees were quite a

few of the VValbridge variety. The

apples from these trees didn’t suit

Smith and he decided to top-work the

trees. In the spring he grafted and

in summer he budded, using Jonathan

and Grimes Golden that were not top-

worked. Moreover, the fruit is larg-

er on top-worked trees.



In telling of his orchard experience,

Smith said recently: “The trees are

headed low so most of the fruit can

be picked from the ground (a good

fault). The trees are pruned too part-

ly open center with all fruit spurs

left on the inside and lower parts of

the tree. Some of these Were so full

of apples that if you were to shoot a

shot from one side to the other the

bullet would be passing through ap-

ples the full distance, a solid mass, or

nearly so, of apples, with none, or not

many broken limbs. The fruit was

where it could be supported and not

all on the outside.



“I try to have the sunlight pass

through the trees and not have a

dense foliage where fruit cannot set

or will fall off afterwards for lack of

air and ’light. I spent much time in

pruning and I find "it pays well, not to

butcher but to open up the top and

let the sides and bottom down, (that

is, not to trim up by cutting all the

lower limbs out). I trim from the top

down. I find Grimes Golden, Jonathan,

Winter Banana, and by all means,

Delicious, are better topéworked on

some hardy stock. I have found that

by grafting or budding four or five of

the main branches I can make a better

tree, as there will not be any bad

limbs to split off, as the Delicious is

nearly as bad as the‘ Northwestern

Greening for poor shoulders, and Jon-

athan is apt to sun-scald in the lower

or body limbs; this will partly elimi-

nate these bad features.



‘fAs to the rich soil, I think we can-

Mammoth Black Twig and Grimes Gol-

to spray more, even if there was not

A NEW PEACH.





PEACH which may be ideal for



canners is being tried out by Wm.

McEwing, vice-president of the Mich-

igan Canners’ Association, and man-

ager of the South Haven Canning Com-

pany.



This peach, which was found on the

Gibson farm, near South Haven, is a

bud sport, similar to the "already fam-

ous South Haven peach. 'It is larger

than the Elberta and of very rich fla-

vor. Although it is of the clingstone

type, it is the kind that the canners

have been looking for for some time,

according to the theme of Mr. McEw-

ing. The'pea'ch has already been prop-

agated and is named the Gibson, in

honor of the man who found it.





FERTILIZED GRAPES BEAR MORE.





MIL HILDEBRAND, of Ottawa



county, conducted a fertilizer test

which is very convincing in showing

the value of the use of fertilizer on

grape vines. He set aside one-quarter

of an acre of Concords for this test.

To two rows he applied ammOnium

sulphate in conjunction with acid

phosphate. These two rows produced

a third more in grapes than the rows

which were left as checks. Good im-

provement in yield was also noted

where ordinary barnyard manure was

applied. The application of the two

fertilizers mentioned above singly also

produced increased yields.



The vineyard is of light sandy soil

so typical of much of the vineyard

soils in the state. Mr. Hildebrand has

twelve acres of grapes, the largest

share of which will be fertilized next

year.

STUDY 'of the government crop

report with reference to the po-



tato crop reveals" that the esti-

mates declined more than 5,000,000

bushels during September, leaving a

total of 433,398,000 bushels as the pro-

duction in the United States as com-

pared with 346,823,000 last year. While





' there was a slightly improved outlook





in a number of states, there was a

considerable falling off .in the east,

due to blight and rot.



' Market conditions are unsatisfac-

tory and a car shortage is reported

from many sections. However, a sup-

ply of cars would not solve the unsat-

isfactory prices, but probably force

them still lower. High freight rates

are an important factor and are tend—

ing to discourage the harvesting of

some of the crop in western states.

Michigan and the eastern states being

in close proximity to large consuming

markets are more fortunately situated

than the states beyond the Mississippi

river.



A review of the statistics for other

years of large potato crops shows'that

the price of the crop on N0vember 1

has been higher than on the first of

the following May in every case where

the United States crop exceeded 400,-

000,000 bushels, which-has occurred in

five other years, 1912, 1914, 1917, 1918

and 1920. The present year’s crop is

only exceeded by the bumper crop of

442,108,000 bushels in 1917, although,

should there be a further reduction it

might drop below the crop of 1920,

when 430,458,000 bushels were produc-

ed. In most cases, the yields per acre

are below those of the above-mention-

ed years and only about normal ones,

the large production being mainly due

to an increased acreage rather than

high yields. y >



The following extracts from the re-

ports of statisticians in the leading

commercial potato states reflect the

general situation as it existed on Oc-

tober 1, the date of the last official

crop report.



New England—Prospects declined

more than three million bushels dur-

ing September, leaving a production





estimated at 31,116,000 bushels as





compared with 49,191,000 last year.

The Aroostook district has a light

crop this year and but very little rot.

In the other New England states the

rot is very bad and later estimates

will probably show a further reduction

in totalvproduction.





New York—There was a decline of





‘ mere than one million bushels from

' the report of a month earlier. This





was mainly due to rot which is more

or less prevalent in'nearly every coun~

ty as a result of late blight. Condi-

tions are the best in the west-central

and northern counties and on Long

Island where prospects are above the

average. The indicated yield is 107

bushels per acre, or a. total production

of 36,777,000 bushels as compared with

33,990,000 last year. It is expected

that the losses in storage will be con-

siderable because of the prevalence of

blight and rot.



Michigan—The bulk of the Michigan

crop is of excellent quality, blight and

rot being confined to local areas in

the eastern half of the state. Dry

weather ‘in‘ August caused a lighter

setting than usual in southern and

southwestern counties, which attained . '





the most of its growth before the Sep-

tember rains. Hence, the heavy rains

that occurred during the first half of

September did not produce as great

an increase ~in yield as usual. The

October 1 estimate is for a. crop of

37,274,000 bushels as comparedrwith

27,200,000 last year. This crop was

exceeded in 1909 and again in 1914.



Wisconsin—The condition on Octo-

ber 1 was eighty-five per cent as com-

pared with a. condition of fifty-five per

cent one year ago. This represents a

total production of 37,294,000'bushels

against a crop of 21,420,000 bushels

grown last year. The vines were still

green in many counties on October 1.

and a frost would have been welcomed

then to hasten maturity.





Minnesota—The condition of pota-

toes is placed at seventy-two per cent

of normal, which forecasts a probable

crop of 38,376,000 bushels, compared

with 27,525,000 bushels in 1921. This

increase in forecasted production is

due to increased acreage and a much

better crop in the southern part of the

state as well as in the early commer—





cial sections, compared with last year.‘





North Dakota—«The condition on

October 1 was eighty per cent of nor-

mal. The state production estimate

on this basis is placed at 19,488,000

bushels; last year it was 11,520,000

bushels.



South Dakota—The yield is placed

at eighty-five bushels per acre, or a

total production of 8,500,000 bushels

as compared with 4,400,000 last year.

Harvesting is progressing rather slow-

ly and the actual movement is prob

lematical as much will depend upon

future prices.



Nebraska—Decreased production

estimates for October 1-are the result

of lower yields than expected earlier

in both the irrigated and dry land sec-

tions. The crop is placed at 8,777,000

bushels as compared with a production

of 8,160,000 in 1921. On ancount of

lack of demand and low price, the

shipments have been comparatively

light to date, and unless prices become

more favorable, a large part of the sur-

plus may not move.





Colorado—The cfdp is small or

largely a failure in the non-irrigated

sections, and short in much of the ir-

rigated commercial territory. Yields

will be lighter than last year and prob-

ably below the average. However, be-

cause of an unusually large acreage





the total production will be the largest ‘





in the history of the state. It is now

estimated at 17 £42,000 bushels as com-

pared with 11,070,000 produced last

year.



Idaho—Early reports indicate an

average yield of 187 bushels per acre

as compared with 185 last year. This

represents a total cr0p of 14,767,000

bushels. Last year’s crop amounted

to 10,545,000 bushels, the increased

production last year being due to the

greater acreage. The potato market is

paralyzed. Growers are complaining

of a shortage of cars but it does not

seem that cars would help much under

the present market conditions. Grow-

ers are beginning to realize that it will

not pay to market any but the best

grade this year.

SINCE it Will be to the advantage of

Michigan potato growers to get rid

of all undersized and injured potatoes

at home, the best method of feeding

th18 product to the pigs will be of in-

terest to many. Potatoes are peculiar-

ly valuable as a supplement in fatten-

ing pigs. The best practice is to cook

. the potatoes, drain off the water and

then mix the potatoes with grain at

the rate 'of about three parts of pota-

toes to one part of the grain. The writ-

er’s method of doing this is to boil the

potatoes in a feed cooker and then do

the mixing in a “barrel with a piece of

board of suitable length; Thus prepar-

ed liberal quantities may be fed to

fattening hogs and also to brood soWs

and small pigs. Raw potatoes should

not be fed to live stock in too large

quantities because of the solanine

which, if consumed too liberally, is apt

to produce harmful effects.

taline compound is lost in cooking.

One typewf good advertising is the

good things a satisfied customer has

to say. .Breeders‘ who go on the theory

that they are in business to stay, fig-

ure that they muSt retain their good

reputation at all costs. Many custom-

ers 'buy regularly and these will con-

tinue to go where they findthe stuff

OVER five hundred hog feeders in

Indiana competed in a feeding

contest under the auspices of ”the

breeders’ association of that state. Up-

on compiling the reports from each

feeder it was found that the best litter

weighed 3,040 pounds the day the pigs

were six months old. These eleven

Poland China pigs exceeded any other

litter in the contest by 400 pounds.





 





FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

OF AMERICAN FARM BUREAU.





 





PLANS have been completed for the

holding of the fourth annual meet-

‘ing of the American Farm Bureau

Federation at the Sherman Hotel in

Chicago from December 11 to 14. Re-

duced rates on all roads leading to

Chicago have been secured. A strong

program covering many agricultural

subjects of both an economic and poli-

tical character is being completed.





 





TRYING FOR HIGH RECORD SIRES.





 





ONCE the community spirit gets



working there is no saying in

what direction it will next be express-

ing itself. In Waulcesha county, Wis-

dams have'madeat least thirty pdunds

of butter in seven days or 1,000 pounds

of butter in the year. This mania has

been growing until new, about sixty of

the sires in-the county comply with

this standard and the desire for dis-

placing other sires with animals of

like quality is growing space. This

standard has been promoted through

the Holstein breeders’..organization.

Francisco Farm Notes

By P. P. Pope





 





 





x





 





 





E have up and run away from



home again to attend a few hog



sales, and left the work on the

farm to pile up on us. Likewise the

mail has piled up on my desk until it

resembles a county fair grounds the

last day in the afternoou. Here is a.

sample of the way most of the first-

class matter reads: “With a hard win-

ter coming on and the coal bin need-

ing attention, to say nothing about the





. baby’s shoes and other little items, in-





cluding indignant creditors, we won-

der if you could help us out on your

account. We certainly would be very





grateful if you could handle it this

month.”





Sounds rather familiar now,

doesn’t it? Here

is hoping the

most of you ,can

Send a check in

reply. We are





the best we can,

’either with a

check, a promise,

or an apology.

Sometimes a I 1

,three. But the

bank balance is

still very stubborn and refuses to per-

mit the drawing of as many checks as

We, or the other fellow, would like.

Out in the beet field the toppers are

busy all the daylight hours. The beets

are better than we thought possible

when struggling with the adverse con-

ditions of the earlier part of the sea-

son, and are going to make 8. respec-

table tonnage afterfall. We have beeh

making a desperate attempt to get

them hauled to the factory as fast as

they were topped, but so far the at-

tempt has failed of complete success.

In good weather beets will shrink

eight to ten per cent within three

days after lifting. and as we sell on





 





.a. flat rate, naturally we rather this





 





 





shrink would occur in the cemnsny'J

ts





 





 





‘still getting by'





I mistake not are going to boson





 





that if we can save this shrink it will



well-nigh'pay for the hauling, thus we



can eat our cake and still have it. The



neighbors’ teams are helping and we



hope to clear the field in October.

The Hog Sales.



Everybody had a good time at the

hog sales. If in the past there may

have existed petty jealousies or criti-

cisms to mar the good feeling among

the breeders, they were conspicuous

by their absence this year that a.

knock was heard. Everyone was a

booster. Even the advocates of other

breeds came to lend their support to

the gospel of good blood. The breed-

ing fraternity is a. real brotherhood.

Its members are producers of real

wealth; they are constantly striving

for improvementf they are good fel-

lows, and represent, I claim, the high-

est type of American citizenship.



The educational feature of these

sales should not be overlooked. They

are second only to the big shows and

I am not sure but they should be plac~

ed first in the opportunity they pre-

sent to the beginner for fixing in ‘his

mind the correct type and conforma-

tion and for learning the popular blood

lines. The opponmy to mix with the

older breeders who have devoted

years to the study of improved swine,

and hearthem discuss the minor as

well as the major points of good hogs

is a. l1beral education to the new breed-

er. He will learn more in this way in

one week of sales than in a year of

personal study. In fact, he~will learn

many things that he will not get any

other place. In addition to the free





'discussion in the pens, the yards and





at the‘fireside, the sale ring is usually

made a. show ring for a. time before

the sale begins and the good features

of the most up~to- date animals brought

out distinctly. Pure-bred swine sales

have come to stay in Michigan. and

KEEPLNG POTATOES IN A PIT.





 





ERE is one farmer’s method of



storing potatOes out of doors: He



digs a hole about six feet wide and



from, three and a half to four feet deep



in some dry spot. The length of the



,/ excavation depends upon the quantity

of potatoes to be stored. He fills the

pit with potatoes and heaps them as

, high as they will pile. They are then

, covered about a foot deep with old

coarse hay. About a foot Of dirt is



‘ ‘ piled over this hay, excepting along



_ 1 the ridge where a strip about a foot

- wide is left uncovered for ventilating

purposes.



This man finds that the important

point in keeping potatoes is to have

them dry. The moisture from the

. ~ _ sweating —of the tubers will escape



5‘ Y:- through the hay along the ridge of this

pit. It is left in this manner until the

1 ground is frozen quite hard, when the





 





 





 





 





Jerry and Jack, Orphan Lambs Owned

by Mrs. A. E. Cottrell, Vermontville





 





 





exposed hay is covered with dirt and

then a couple of feet of coarse hay, or

straw, or clover chaff is piled over the

entire pit and allowed to extend about

it from four to six feet on. every side.

To prevent water from finding its

way through the hay before the ridge

is covered with dirt, two wide boards

can be nailed together V-shaped and

placed lengthwise over the opening.





STORAGE POTATOES NEED AIR.





 





INSUFFIUI‘ENT ventilation during



storage is/ largely responsible for

the discolored, blackish area frequent—

ly’found in the center of potatoes.

Extensive experiments carried on by



‘ thesGeneva Experiment Station show

that the symptoms may be produced

at will .by excluding air from the tu-

bers, even at low temperatures. The

trouble is aggravated no doubt, by

heat, but is materially checked when

proper ventilation is provided. This

explodes the old theory that black-

heart was caused by the heating of the

tubers in storage.

WILD MORNING cLonu-zs.





I HAVE been reading in the Michi-





morning glories. I have had some ex-

perience with them, so I thought you

would like to know about it. ‘

When I was still .at home with my

father a. few years ago, father had a

farm of 240 acres and there was one

field that had about three acres of

these weeds in it. 7‘

We used to work them all the time

but they kept the best of us. Of

course, we had so much work to do for

two of us that we might not have work-

ed them enough. But we got rid of

them in one season—just blundered

onto it. Father always kept from fifty

to 300 hogs, so we fenced in ten acres

where the morning glories were, and

iturned in the hogs without rings in

:their noses. It was good-bye morning

iglories. The roots are sweet and the

Shogs seemed to like them.

! They would dig holes down as far as

3the roots went.

i The next year we harrowed it

smooth, plowed it, .and put it into corn.

I have never noticed any since that

time—E. W. Town, Clare, Mich.





 





A PROFITABLE WAY OF MARKET-

ING FARM \PRODUCTS.





HE marketing of farm products is



one of the most important things

in the farming business. It is at least

as important as raising a good crop.



I think a weekly home market in

every town and city where there is

a railroad would benefit the farmer to

a very large extent. The farmer would

be able to take advantage of such a

marketing system in many different

ways. The main idea wouldybe that

the farmer could sell his own products

himself, or hold them if the prices

were not right.



It is quite different at the present.

When the farmer ships some of his

products to some large market com-

mission house, he does not know what

is done with his goods. When he gets

the returns, he many times owes the

commission house money for shipping'

charges. The goods often do not bring

the cost of shipping, not speaking of

the basket, the cost of raising the

products, etc.





N the farm of Arthur D. Smith, on

new ground ‘of a sand, clay loam

type, a. plot was staked out near the

center of his Petoskey Russet Rural

field of potatoes on which three plant-

ings of Irish Cobbler potatoes Were

made on the dates of June5-19-30, and

in each planting, spacing was made

twelve, eighteen, twenty—four and thir-

ty inches apart in the row‘s.

rows were planted June 5, with Petos-

key Rural Russets planted eighteen

inches apart in the rows.





The plot was harvested September

26. The Irish Cobbler vines were en—

tirely dead while the Petoskeys were

quite green. The highest yield of No.

1 Cobblers was at the rate of 121 bush-

els per acre in the June 5 planting

spaced eighteen inches apart. The

next highest yield was at the rate of

112 bushels per acre in the June. 19

planting with the 18-inch spacing. In

both the June 5 and 19 plantings the

twelve-inch spacing ,was Second, and

the twenty-founinch' third, with. the

There are also a lot of farm prod-

ucts never/shipped nor used, as small

amounts are not profitable to ship.

However,'if there were a home market

you could take down what you had,

large or small, and it would not Cost

anything to get it sold, as you would

do this yourself.



There Would then be many farmers

who could buy their needs from other

farmers at the market place, While

now it is often a problem to know

where to buy some of them. The

neighbors do not have what he wants

and the farmer cannot ‘spend his time

.looking for it all over the country. If

it should happen that the goods want-

ed were not on the home market, one

would at least beiable.to learn where

to get it.



The weekly home market would also

bring general merchandise to the mar-

ket place. Many would put up booths

and many bargains would be offered,

and much money would be saved by

farmers and town people and be much

to the advantage of both.





The next thing is how to start a.

weekly home market. This can be done

in a few days. You don’t have to wait

until next summer, there are many

things which you can sell every week,

even in the winter time. There are

eggs, butter, vegetables, grains, pigs,

cows, horses, sheep, fat hogs, potatoes,

chickens, etc. to start the market. A

committee of farmers could be ap‘

pointed to get together with the town

official to buy a.’ piece of ground to

hold the market on. Make a few ar-

rangements for the upkeep of the mar-

ket, like renting certain places at the

market ground to people who would

like to put up booths, etc. Then have

the market place divided into sections.

At each section a. certain kind of goods

should be sold. Then a day should be

set on which to hold the market. The

market could be opened at 8:00 a. m.

and last until noon or 2:00 p. m. Ar-

rangements could be made to have the

market place under cover for protec-

tion in bad weather. Also, it would be

important to arrange that not any of

the neighboring towns would have a.

market on the same day.



This system is in full swing in many

countries of Europe, and there has

proven a big advantage to farming—-

yield. The June 30 planting made a

poor showing, with the twelve—inch

spacing in the lead. The Petoskey

Rural Russet checks planted June-’5

and spaced eighteen inches apart the

same as the highest yield of Irish Cob‘

blers yielded at the rate of 210 bush-

els per acre.



In this same plot a row of Irish

Cobblers was planted with seed pieces

entirely from potatoes with hollow,

hearts. The yield from this row has

been stored under ordinary cellar stor-





age and will be inspected for hollow '





heart in the spring.



Mr. Smith. believes that the poor

showing of the Irish Cobblers against

the Petoskeys may have been due to

a poor strain of Cobblers against a.

good'strain of Petoskeys, and for that

reason will repeat the experiment

next year with some , selected Irish

cobblers from the Upper Peninsula Ex-

AMERICA'S SURPLUS WHEAT IS

NEEDED BY EUROPE.





 





N exact estimate of European

wheat production in 1922 cannot

. be made until the figures from France,

Germany and the SerbCroat—Slovene

[State become available. It is, however,

certain that this year’s wheat crop

from all Europe (apart from Russia,

1 whence no trustworthy data are yet to

hand) is decidedly less than that of

, 1921. As regards those European

states which have already furnished

particulars, the Statistical Bureau of

t thelnternational Institute of Agricul-

, ture estimates the decrease in yield,

’as compared with 1321, at thirteen per

cent. It is also announced that the

yield of breadstuffs (wheat, rye and

g meteil) in Prussia shows a. decline of

i 21.6 percent and that threshing re-

sults in France indicate that the pro-

duction of cereals is below that of 1921

‘\ and in some districts under the av-

erage. .

Poor results are manifest also in

USES TEMPORARY FENCE.

/





 





IF fields are to be pastured for cer-



tain crops it may be easier and

cheaper to have a small temporary

fence to build wherever wanted on the

farm. I have used an eight-wire, thir-

ty-two-inch woven wire fence for this

purpOSe and when it is surmounted by

two barbed wires it will turn any kind

of stock that the ordinary high woven

wire fence will turn. ‘



in putting up this fence I usually

put the line posts about twice as far

apart as they would be in the ordinary

fence. For corner posts Where there

are not permanent ones I use one of

the larger line posts and brace it

against another. The line posts are

shorter than regular fence posts and

so the holes do not have to be dug

over a foot deep. With this kind of

fence one man can fence about fifty

to sixty rods in one day.



In putting this temporary fence

through theycorn field so as to hog

down a piece I never use any line

posts, but simply wire the fencing ‘to

the cornstalks.—W. E. Wiecking.

New-#- BALL—BEARINGS '

l in the larger PRIMROSES !" ‘





 





 





 





 





For forty-five years dairymen have struggled with hard-

tuming cream separators. Excessive friction caused them

much trouble in the hand operation of the machines. Now

the cream separator engineers of the Harvester Company,

with this problem constantly in mind, and the satisfaction of

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

Bearing Primrose Cream Separator which reduces the power

required to operate by approximately 35 %.





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

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-Bearing line of farm operating

equipment. It may be seen and studied at the

store of your McCormick-Deering dealer. Write

The Offer is Rejected.





AIRCHILD blinked in surprise at



this and sank back into his chair.

Finally he laughed uneasily and puffed

again on the dubious cigar.



“I’d say,” came finally, “that there

isn’t any such animal.”



“But there is. She has—” Then he

stopped, as though to cover the slip.

[Fairchild leaned forward.



“She?”



,. Mr. Barnham gave the appearance

of a very flustered man.



. “My tongue got away from me; I

shouldn’t have said it. I really should

not have said it. If she ever finds it

out, it will mean trouble for me. But

truly,” and he beamed, “you are such

a tough customer to deal with and so

suspicious—no offense meant, of

course—that I really was forced to it.

I—«feel sure she will forgive me.”



“Whom do you mean by ‘she’?”



Mr. Barnham smiled in a knowing

manner.



“You and I both know,” came his

cryptic answer. “She is your one great,

good friend. She thinks a great deal

of you, and you have done several

things to cause that admiration. Now,



Mr. Fairchild, coming to the point,

suppose she should point a way out 05

your troubles?”



“How ?”



“In the first place, you and your

partner are in very great difficulties.”



“Are we?” Fairchild said it sarcas-

tically.



“Indeed you are, and there is no

need of attempting to conceal the fact.

Your friend, whose name must remain

a secret, does not love you—don’t ever



think that—but—”



Then he hesitated as though to

watch the effect on Fairchild’s face.

There was none; Robert had masked

it. In time the words went on; “But

she does think enough of you to want

to make you happy. She has recently

done a thing which gives her a great

deal of power in one direction. In an-

other, she has connections who possess

vast money powers and who are look-

ing for an opening here in the west.

Now—” he made a church steeple out

of his fingers and leaned back in his

chair, staring vacuously at the ceiling,

“if you will say the word and do a thing

which will relieve her of a great deal

‘of embarrassment, I am sure that she

can so arrange things that life will be

very easy for you henceforth.”



“I’m becoming interested.”



“in the first place, she is engaged to

be married to a very fine young man.

You, of course, may say differentlyLand

—well, you know how willful and head-

committed a. few—en—indiscretions

with you.”



“That’s a lie!” Fairchild’s temper

got away from him and his fist banged

on the table. “That’s a lie and you

know it!”



“Pardon me—er—pardon me! I

many meanings, and I am sure that in

using it, I didn’t place the same con-

struction that you did in hearing it.

But let that pass. I apologize. What

I should have said was that, if you will

pardon me, she used you, as young

women will do, as a foil against her

fiancee in a time of petty quarreling

between them. Is that plainer?”



It was too plain to Fairchild. It

hurt. But he nodded his head and the

other man went on.



“Now the thing has progressed to a

place where you may be—well—what

one might call the‘ thorn in the side of

their happiness. You are the ‘other

man', as it were, to cause quarrels and

that sort of thing. And she feels that

she has not done rightly by you, and,

through her friendship and a desire to

see peace all around, believes she can

arrange matters to suit all concerned.

To be plain and blunt, Mr. Fairchild,

you are not in an enviable position. I





proposition before she brought it to

me. As I say, the deeds to your mine

are held in escrow. Your partner now

is accused of four crimes and will go

to trial on them in the fall. It is al-

most certain that he will be convicted

on at least one of the charges. That

would mean that the deeds to the mine

must remain in jurisdiction of the





court in lieu of a cash bond while the





case goes to the supreme court. Oth-

erwise, you must yield over your part-

ner to go to jail. In either event, the

result would not be satisfactory. For

yourself, I dare say that a person

whose father is supposed to have com-

mitted a murder—not that I say he did,

understand—hardly , could establish

sufficient standing to borrow the mon-

ey to proceed on an undertaking which

requires capital. Therefore, I should

say that you were in somewhat of a

predicament. Now—” a long wait and





then, “please take this as only canning

from a spokesman: My client is in a.





position to use her good offices to , .

change the viewpoint of the man who ,





is the chief witness against your part-

ner. She also is in’ a position to' use

those same good ofllces‘ .in another di-

rection, so that~there might never be

a grand jury investigation of the find-

ing of a certain body or skeleton, or

something of the kind, in your mine—

which, if you will remember, brought

about a very disagreeable situation.

And through her very good connec-

tions in another way, she is able to

relieve you of all your financial embar-





rassment and procure for you from a -





certain eastern syndicate, the members

of which I am not at liberty to name.

an offer of $200,000 for your mine. All

that is necessary for you to do is to

say the word.”



Fairchild leaned forward.



“And of course,” he added caustical-

ly, “the name of. this mysterious fem-

inine friend must be a secret?”



"Certainly. No mention of this trans-

action must be made to her' directly,

6r indirectly. Those are my specific

instructions. Now, Mr. Fairchild, that

seems to me to be a wonderful offer.

And it—”



“Do you want my answer now?”





“At any time when you have given





the matter sufficient thought." ‘

“That’s been accomplished already.





And there’s no need of waiting. I want ,.





to thank you exceedingly for your of:

fer, and to tell you—that you can go

straight to hell!”



And without looking back to see the

result of his ultimatum, Fairchiid rose,

strode to the door, unlocked it, and

stamped down the hall. He had taken

snap judgment, but in his heart, he

felt that he was right. What was more,

he was as sure as he was sure of life

itself that Anita Richmond had not

arranged the interview and did not

even know of it. One streaking name

was flitting through 'Fairchild’s brain

and causing it to- soothe with anger.

Cleverly concealed though the plan

might have been, nicely arranged and

carefully planted, to Robert Fairchiid

it all stood out plainly and clearlyw

the Rodaines! .



And yet why? That one little word

halted Fairchild as he left the elevator.

Why should the Rodaines be willing to

free him from all the. troubles into

which his mining ventures .had taken‘

him, start him out into the world and

give him a fortune with which“ to make

his way forward? Why? What did

they know about the Blue Poppy mine,

when neither he nor Harry had any

I t», .‘azjth years ~ that



. é veéln precluded that.



. There .wasi-noi other tunnel, no other

.means, of determining the. riches which

might be hidden within ‘the confines

of the Blue Poppy claims, yet it was

evident. That day in court Rodaine

had said that the Blue Poppy was

a good property and that it was worth

every cent of the value which had been

placed on it. How did he know?



At least one answer to Rodaine's ac-

tion came- to him. It was simple now

to see why the scar-faced man had put

a good valuation on the mine during

the court procedure and apparently

helped Fairchild out in a difficulty. In

fact, there were several reasons for it.



. In the first place, the tying up of the

mine by placing it in the care of a

court would mean just that many more

difficulties for Fairchild, and it would

mean that the mine would be placed

in a position where work could be

hampered for years if a first conviction

could be obtained. Further, Rodaine

could see that if by any chance the

bond should be forfeited, it would be

an easy matter for the claims to be

purchased cheap at a public sale by

any one who desired them and who

had the inside information of what

they were worth. And evidently Ro-

daine and Rodaine alone possessed

that knowledge.



It was late now. Fairchild went to

a junk yard or two, searching for the

materials which Harry had ordered,

and failed to find them. Then he

sought a hotel, once more to struggle

with the problems which the interview

with Barnham had created and to

cringe at a thought which arose like a

ghost before him:



Suppose that it had been Anita Rich-

mond after all who had arranged this?

It was logical in a way. Maurice Ro-

daine was the one man who could give

direct evidence against{ Harry as the

man who had held up the Old Times

Dance, and Anita now was engaged to

marry him. Judge Richmond had been

a friend of Thornton Fairchild; could

it have been possible that this friend-

ship might have entailed thetelling of

secrets which had not been related .to

any one else? The matter of the find-

ing of the skeleton could be handled

easily, Fairchild saw, through Maurice

Rodaine. One word from him to his

father could change the story of Crazy

Laura and make it, on the second tell-

ing, only the maundering tale of an



~insane, herb-gathering woman. Anita

could have arranged it, and Anita

might have arranged it. Fairchild wish-

e.l now that he could recall his words,

that he could have held his temper

and by some sort of strategy arranged

matters so that _the offer might have

come more directly—from Anita her-

self.



Yet, Why should « she have gone



' through this procedure to reach him?

Why had she not gone to Farrell with

the proposition—to a man whom she

knew Fairchild trusted, instead of to

a greasy, hand—rubbing shyster? And

besides——



But the question was past answering

now. Fairchild had made his decision,

and he had told the lawyer Where to

go. If, at the same time, he had rele-

gated the woman who had awakened

affection in his heart, only to have cir-

cumstances’ do their best to stamp it

out again, to the same place—well, that

had been done, too, and there was no

recalling of it now. But one thing

was certain: the Blue Poppy mine was

worth money. Somewhere in that

beetling hill awaited wealth, and if de-

termination counted for anything, if

force of will and force of muscle were

worth only a part of their accepted

value, Fairchild meant to find it. Once

before an offer had come, and now that

he thought 'of'it, Fairchild felt almost



. certainthat it had been from the same

figures? It was m

turer cOuld encompass; he sought to"

dismiss it all, went to a picture show,

then trudged back to his hotel and to

sleep.



The next day found him still striying

to put the problem away from him as

he went about the various errands out-

lined by Harry. A day after that, then

the puffing, snorting, narrow-gauged

train took him again through Clear

Creek, canon back to Ohadi. The sta-

tion was strangely deserted.



[None of the usual loungers were

there. None of the loiterers who, watch

in hand, awaited the arrival and de-

parture of the puffing train as though

it were a matter of personal concern.

eminent surgeon in New York.



A nurse, in describing his work said

that as an operator he" had no supe-

riorin the great city.

hands while working is a perfect de-

light. They never stop, never fumble;

the man is a genius and yet there is

something uncanny about him.” When

asked what she meant she‘ said that

professionalism. seemed to have at?

phied his power of ,sympathy. e

could not feel with people. One day

“an engineer was brought in with his

arm crushed. ‘He examined it and

bluntly told the man he would have to

have it amputated. Of course, the

poor fellow protested; at which the

surgeon lost his tmeper and went

away coldly, saying as he slammed the

door that he would leave him to come

to his senses and

Whether he pre

ferred amputa-

tion or death.”

That evening the

surgeon was tell-

ing the incident

to his sister. She

had a woman's

sympathy, a n d

she said, “But.

John, the poor

fellow has a fam-

ily; his arm is all

Did you explain the gravity?





 





he has.

Put yourself in his place.”





The doctor was struck by his sis-

ter’s words, and that night went to





the hospital to see the engineer. The

dread blood—poison had already set in,

and in amputating the arm, the doc-

torcu‘t his own finger, and it became

so badly infected that in a. short time

his hand had lost its cunning. Gone

were his days of operating. One day

he called his sister and said, “Floy,

it’s the greatest game in the world.

Nothing compares with it; it beats

war all hollow. To master your work

and love it. Just to look about you

and see your assistants, every one in

his place, every one with his part to

play—like regulars in gun drill. Not

a word, not a hitch, only the clip, clip

of the forceps or the low call, ‘sponge.’

To feel the ligatures tighten, to see

the tied artery throb and to know it

will never slip. And to think that I

can never operate again. ., Floy, it’s

hard.” But what was the surgeon’s

loss was also his gain. He seemed. to

be getting a. new point of view. He

inquired every morning how the en-

gineer was. and shared his flowers

with him. He was less of a. surgeon,

perhaps, but more of a man.





OW, the weakness of this surgeon

was never the weakness of the

Great Physician. He had the human

touch, the sympathy, the understand-

ing heart. How often do the words

occur, “He was moved with compas-

sion.”_ And at the same time he pos-

sessed a. marvelous skill, which we do

not understand, even'in these scien-

tific days. But thehealing ‘fof His

seamless dress,”~ did not stop with

Christ’s earthly ministry. It! has gone

forward ever since. Wherever true

Christianity.has gone, there has gone

as a part of it, the ministry of healing.

Sympathy and science have joined

hands in all the centuries since. Not

that the healing‘ art was always as

highly developed as it is now. We

have grown in that as in other things.

But there has always been at least

some science in medicine, since the

time of the Greek physicians, before

We have every»

reason to believe that St: Luke was a

I love, or an American missionary in

a. great Chinese city of two- hundred

thousand people, who all alone (with





the exception. of some native nurses





whom he had trained), battled with

the cholera, and actually succeeded in

checking it. Here is a. tale from South

Africa, that is up-to-dste. I take it

‘from the Christian Advocate. ”In this

community of blacks, ,there is an

American missionary doctor and an

American nurse. One day the nurse

(called the White Mother) went into

a. new village. Immediately a. crowd

of lame and» emaciated natives gath-

ered about her. She opened up her

medicine case and for hours cleansed

and dressed ugly infections, examined

and dosed others with more subtle ills,

but darkness fell before she had ex-

amined them all.





M Y people are simple,” said the



chief to her, “and they are so de-

lighted with the good works of Maqui,

(‘White Mother’) that they might re

sent it if you do not do something for

the rest. There is full moon tonight,

and I beg Maqui will continue the

work then.” “Certainly, as best I

can.” That evening, under the white

light of a. tropical moon the mission

ary nurse worked for hours with the

sick of the village, until each had re-

ceived the best that her skill and her

meager equipment could provide. The

next morning she told them the story

of Jesus, before she left the village.

They begged her to come back and

li—ve with them. When the chief of

the village later became the chief of

all the tribe, second only to the native

king, he was the fast friend of all

missionaries. Does not the above re

mind one of another scene?—“And at

even, when the sun did. set, they

brought unto him all that were sick.

and. them that were possessed with

demons. And all the city was gath-

ered together at the door. And he

healed many that were sick with div-





ers diseases and cast out many dem-

ons.”





IN the middle ages the teachings of



{Christ showed their fruits in the

work of the friars. They cared for the

lepers,‘ providing them shelter, food

and whatever medical care they could.

Christianity has always been a. relig-

ion of healing. One day a. native Kor-

ean hobbled into a. missionary hospi-

tal. "What a. horrible foot!” some one

exclaimed, when the bandage was tak-

en off. The man had suffered a. fall

which had bruised the foot. A native

doctor had told him that a. demon had

taken possession of the foot, and that





the only cure? was ‘to smear it with.





grease and set fire to it. This, was

done. Dirt and flies had followed, with

the result that the whole foot was rot~

ting away. ' ,





A religion of healing—~—that is what 7





the religiondf the NazarenE is. Chris-

tians ought to be a people of strong

bodies, steady nerves, well trained

minds, contented spirits. Trust ‘in God

Complications, Follow the Bonanza.

. CHAPTER XVII.

L AD it been any one else, Fairchild

would have shouted for happiness

and joined therparade. As it was, he

stood far at one side, a silent, grim

figure, watching the miners and towns-





people passing before him, leaping





about-in their happiness, Calling to him

the news that he did not want to hear:

The Silver Queen had “hit.” The





faith of Sduint Rodaine, maintained





through the years, had shown his per-

spicacity. It was there; he always had

said it was there, and now the strike

had been made at last, lead-silver ore,

running as high as two hundred dollars

a ton. And just like Squint—‘so some

one informed Fairchild—he had kept

it a secret until the assays all had





been made and the“ first shipments





started to Denver. It means every-

thing’to Ohadi; it means that mining

would boom now, that soon the hills

would be clustered with prospectors,

and that the little town would blossom

as a result of possessing one of the

rich silver mines of the state. Some

one tossed to Fairchild a small piece

of ore which had been taken from a

car at the mouth of the mine; and

even to his uninitiated eyes it was ap-

parent—rthe heavy lead, bearing in

spots the thin filagree of white metal

——and silver ore must be more than

rich to make a showing in any kind

of sample.



He felt cheap. He felt defeated. He

felt small and mean not to be able to

join the celebration. Squint and Mau-

rice Rodaine possessed the Silver

Queen; that they, of all persons,

should be the fortunate ones was bitter

and hard to accept. Why should they,

of every one in Ohadi, be the lucky

men to find a silver bonanza, that they

might flaunt it before him, that they

might increase their standing in the

community, that they might raise

themselves to a pedestal in the eyes of

every one and thereby rally about

them the whole town in any difficulty

which might arise in the future? It

hurt Fairchild, it sickened him. He

saw now that his enemies were more

powerful than ever. And for a mo-

ment he ,almost wished that he had





yielded down there in Denver, that he .





had not given the ultimatum to the

greasy Barnham, that he had accepted

the offer made him—and gone on, out

of the“'fight forever.



Anita! What would it mean to her?

Already engaged, already having given

her answer to Maurice Rodaine, this

now would be an added incentive for

her to follow her promise. It would

mean a possibility of further argument

with her father, already too weak from

illness to find the means of evading

the insidious pleas of the WW) men

who had taken his monew and made

him virtually their slave. Could they

not demonstrate to him now that they

always had worked for his best inter-

ests? And could not that plea go even





farther—to Anita herself—40 persuade‘





her that they were always laboring for

her, that they had striven for this

thing that it might mean happiness for

her and for her father? And then,

could they not content themselves with

promises, holding before her a rainbow

of the far-away, to lead her into their

power, just as they had led the strick—

en, bedridden man she called “father?”

The future looked black for Robert

Fairchild. Slowly he walked past the





happy, shouting crowd and turned up'





Kentucky Gulch toward the ill-fated

Blue Poppy. ‘ ,

lorn than ever when he sighted it, a.’

A choking came into Fairchild’s throat.

He entered the tunnel slowly: plod-

dingly; with lagging muscles he haul-

ed up the bucket which told of Harry’s

presence below, then slowly lowered

himself into,,-the recesses of the shaft

and to the drift leading to the stope,

where only a few days before they had"

found that gaunt, whitened, haunting“

thing which had brought with it a new

misfortune.



A light gleamed ahead, and the

sound of a single jack hammering on

the end of a drill could be heard. Fair—

Harry, grimy and sweating, pounding

away at a narrow. streak of black for—

mation which centered in the top of

the stope.



“It’s the vein,” he announced, after

he had greeted Fairchild, “and it don’t

look like it’s going to amount to very

much!” '



“N0?!)



Harry withdrew the drill from the

hole he was making and mopped his

forehead.



“It ain’t a. world-beater,” came dis-

consolately. “I doubt whether it’ll run

“And you took it, of course?”

again. “Well, maybe you’re right.

Maybe you’re wrong. But whatever

you did—well, that’s just the thing 1

would’ ave done.”



“Thanks, Harry.”



“0nly——” and Harry was staring lu-

Binaries—E. Townsend for II. 8. Senator

Alex. J. liroesbeck lor Iiovernor





A Real Public Service Record

Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, leader of the agricul-

tural group in the United States Senate, told readers of the

MICHIGAN FARMER last spring many reasons why Senator

Townsend had won the right to ask support of the farmers

of Michigan for rc-election to the senate. These are some

of the points made by Senator Capper in his article:





During my three years' stay in Washington I

have come to regard Senator Townsend as one of

the most INFLUENTIAL and USEFUL members

of the senate. HONEST, COURAGEOUS and

ABLE, his influence has increased with the length

of his service, until he is recognized as one of the

leaders on the Republican side of the chamber.



Among the many measures of benefit to agricul-

ture which Senator Townsend aided in enacting in-

to law are the following: '





. The co-opcrative marketing law.

Grain standard acts.

Federal farm loan act, and many bencfimal amend-





ments.



Increased annual apprOpriation for agricultural

experiment stations.



Act to enable secretary of agriculture to investi~

gate and report on the organization and progress of

farmers’ institutes and agricultural schools.





Act for acquiring and diffusing amongr the people

of the U. S. useful information on subjects connect-

ed with the marketing and distributing of farm and

non—manufactured food products.





Act to make investigation relating to‘the trans‘

portation. storage preparation. marketing, manufac—

ture and distribution of agricultural food products.





Act directing the war finance corporation to take

certain 3Ctl0ll for the. i‘Clle of the depressmn of

1921 in agricultural sections of the country.



Act for co—opcrntive agricultural extension work.



Act preventing the manufacture, sale or transpor-

tation of adultcrated, misbranded, poisoned or dcle«

terious foods.





Act to provide that there shall be in the year 1925

and once every ten years thereafter, a census of

agriculture and livestock which will show the acre-

age of farm land, value of domestic animals, etc.





Act providing that labor, agricultural and horti—

cultural organizations shall be exempt from taxation.



Of greatest importance to farmers of Michigan have been

Senator Townsend’s good roads efforts and his procuring

millions of dollars of federal aid for this state, as well as

aiding other states. Federal aid to the extent of $75,000,000

was had for roads in 1922. In addition. Senator Town-

send’s influence already has provided for $50,000,000 aid in

1923; $65,000,000 in 1924; and $75,000,000 in 1925.



Good roads bring markets closer to the producer and

lower transportation costs. Senator Townsend also is the

father of the great St. Lawrence waterway project, which

will make a seaport of all Michigan towns on its 2300 miles

of coast line and will revolutionize transportation costs.





A Business Administration





Gov. Alex. J. Groesbeck. elected in 1920 on a platform

calling for efficient administration of state business and

economical use of the taxpayers’ money, has more than

made good. The state today is being run on the best busi-

ness basis .it ever has been on. Consolidation of depart-

ments and bureaus whose work overlapped; operation of,

the state accounting division and the state purchasing de-

partment; and general simplifying of state business under

the direction of the state administrative board, has accom-

plished real results from the standpoint of the taxpayer.



Gov. Groesbcck has reduced the state tax levy more than

$3,000,000 in the past year. This levy is lower in 1922

than at any time since 1918.



Gov. Groesbeck has reduced in the past year the operat-

ing expenses of the state government nearly' $2,000,000.





These facts give the lie to insinuations and false charges

of extravagance in state administration and show conclua

sively that Michigan taxpayers’ interests are being cared

for better than ever before.

expresses the views of many

farmers and home canners who

now see that money is made, not by

selling the “cocky culls,” but by con-

verting them into canned food ready

for the table on a moment’s notice. Al-

though the really interested poultry-

man will cull several times during the

year, October and November are con-

ceded to be the months when most

farmers “pick out the loafers.”



This house-cleaning process has met

with such popular favor that we find

the poultry market generally crowded

in the fall, and prices much lower than

earlier in the year. First, from the

standpoint of economy, the poultry-

man who converts the culls into can-

ned food, is doing away with the extra

labor and feed involved. When can-

ned, these fowls are removed at the

time the space is first needed for the

younger birds, and by so doing the

temptation to crowd is removed.



And what is more delicious than

Type of Chicken that is More Profit-

able to Can than to Keep.





 





canned chicken? This can only be

answered by folks who have enjoyed

the canned meat. It doesn’t take any

longer to prepare six chickens at one

time for cans than it does to prepare

two fowls at separate times, for im-

mediate table use. No matter what

method of canning is used, it is neces-

sary to clean the chicken thoroughly,

both outside and inside, using a brush

and light soapsuds if necessary. Rapid

cooling after killing is considered es-

sential to good flavor in canned meat.

Chicken or any fowl is ready for

preparation for the canner as soon‘as

the animal heat has disappeared. For

home canning, chicken is best by par-

tially cooking first—fried, roasted,

stewedwjust as would be done for im-

mediate serving, to preserve not only

the meat, but the home cooked flavor

as well.

Direction for Canning.



Fried Chicken (Spring Fried).-——

Clean in the usual manner, splitting

lengthwise or cut into quarters. Sear

in hot grease, sprinkle with salt and

pepper; or, if preferred, dip into flour





or cracker crumbs mixed with salt and





pepper. Fry until nicely browned in

the same way as preparing for. the

table. The canning may now be dune

in different ways as follows: _



Canning Dry without Removing the

Bones—Pack in the thoroughly clean-

ed and sterilized cans or jars,»add no

liquid. With cover off heat or exhaust

The Homely Cobbler





HEN you want a dessert in a.



hurry, one which everyone‘can

eat and enjoy without a thought of

indigestion, remember the homely cob-

bler. A cobbler as nearly everybody

knows, is fruit with a raised crust and

a hard or boiled sauce. 11: can be as

economical as biscuit dough, or as rich

as good cake batter. A happy medium

between the two makes the best cob-

bler. It can be made of fresh fruit,

apples, berries, or rhubarb, or of dried

or canned fruit when fresh is not ob-

tainable.‘ The best cobbler in the

world, in my estimation, is made from





a mixture of fresh raspberries and





 





be ries, it may be ad-

pberries used with-

strawberries or Wit red currant juice

is almost as good. Apricots, fresh,

canned or dried, make splendid cob-

bler. Plums make fine cobbler. An

apple cobbler made of tart juicy ap-

ples, with a good hard sauce or eaten

with sweet cream, is a dish fit for a.

king.



A cobbler is ordinarily cooked over

the fire, the crust being baked by the

steam from the juice of the fruit. It

is placed over the uncooked sugared

fruit. 11' dry fruits are used it is nec-

essary to add water. Berries and juicy

plums do not need anything ‘but sug-

ar. Rhubarb is juicy enough in itself.

But care must always be exercised to

keep the fruit from burning to the bot-

tom of the pan while the crust is cook-

ing. A moderate heat, and a cover

over the pan containing the cobbler

will insure proper cooking. From ten

to twenty—five minutes is «required, ac-

cording to the kind of fruit used.



A good cobbler is made with a table.





spoonful of butter and lard mixed, an .





egg, a heaping tablespoonful of sugar,

a pinch of salt, and from one to two

cups of flour, using a teaspoonful of

good baking powder to each cup of

flour. Mix the shortening and sugar,

add the egg and beat well. Put in

flour, powder and salt and add suffi-

cient sweet milk or cold water to make

a batter the consistency of cake bat-

ter. Have the fruit ready in a deep

pan. Lay the better in spoonfuls over

the fruit. '_ cover the pan and cock as

directed. On a gas stove it is advis-

able to use an asbestos mat under the

pan Or to turn the flame so there is

no danger of burning. This may also

be baked in the oven.

bottom and piling the fruit over.

Serve with hard or boiled sauce.





_When eggs are scarce we-beat one

up and divide it, putting half of it‘into

the crust and the other half into the

sauce. Sometimes when eggs are at

a premium we dispense with it alto«

gether, making an economical cobbler.

When they are very plentiful we use

a. whole one in the sauce and another

in the pudding.



The sauce has as its foundation a

tablespoonful of butter. This is well

mixed with, a fork. Then the egg, if

any is used, is added and powdered

sugar. If therejs no egg, we moisten

the sauce with cream, as the butter

alone will not take up sufficient sugar

to make the right quantity. An excel-

lent sauce can be made with the but-

ter, sugar and cream, adding a pinch

of salt and flavoring with vanilla, or

any preferred flavor. The sauce must

be beaten till it is very smooth and

If a boiled sauce is desired,

use either milk or water for its foun-

dation.

on egg, and flour or cornstarch. Use

a pinch of salt and sugar to taste, and

flavor‘ with. vanilla or lemon. When

the cobbler is to _be eaten cold, the

hard sauce is preferable, but it is more

palatable if eaten hot.





Cobbler is much more easily digest-

ed than pie. Properly made, it is a

delicious dessert. Dried fruits must

be soaked and \s‘tewed a little before

using them for cobbler.-—Mrs. Helen

Combes.

‘ g If not on an equal with food and

and at this time we find a greater nec-

Fourth and Fifth Prizes.





I was in need of kitchen curtains

so purchased three white sugar sacks,

put an inch hem in the bottom and the

same for a heading. Then I took

plain colors of gingham, made clusters

of fruit in applique design and button-

holed them on the center of curtains

about two inches above the .hem with

black sansilk, putting a neat stitch

at the hem with the black thread.



Sacks were three for ten cents, san-

silk ten cents, and gingham ten cents.

Thus I had three curtains for the

small sum of thirty cents—Mrs. G.

W., Charlotte, Mich.





 





I find use for every scrap of worn

underwear. The skirts of woolen

shirts make warm petticoats for the

little toddler, either attached to a band

or a plain outing waist. A pretty little

yarn edge crocheted around the bot-

tom make these suitable fdr girls up

to four years of age. Heavy cotton-





wear can be colored dark brown or

green; good mittens and everyday play





leggings are fashioned from the drawer

legs. Light weight made into squares

with an edge overcast or crocheted,

make excellent washcloths. Have a

set for each child with the edge made

of his favorite color. Good pieces tak-

POTATO PAN CAKES. ’





 





I would like to obtain a recipe for

potato‘pancakes. Will you please tur-

nish me with same?-—Mrs. D. R. R. a





This is a good recipe for making

potato pancakes: Four good-sized'po-

tatoes, one tablespoon butter, one tea.-

spoon salt,_yolks of four eggs, founta-

blespoons bread crumbs, one- table-

spoon i‘lour, two teaspoons sugar, eight

almonds, blanched, ground or‘chopped.

Boil and mash potatoes, add butter,

salt, sugar, almonds and the yolks of

eggs beaten well. Mix with enough

milk'or water to make batter and fry

on griddle. The almonds may be omit-

ted if not at hand. —





MARKETING CANNED PRODUCTS.





 





I am a farm woman and would

like to put a chop pickle on the mar-

ket. Have read how other women

did well in similar ways. Now, what

would I have to do about my label?

Would I have to get a. permit to sell

my product?—Mrs. O. B T.





The state of Michigan in its laws

Act No. 411 Public Acts 1919, an act

to regulate the business of canning





people, firms, corporations'and associ-

ations are prohibited from engaging

in the business of canning or preserv-

ing fruits and vegetables for sale with-

out first having been licensed to do so

by the commissioner of agriculture of

the state of Michigan.



Sec. 2-13 additional $25 is the an-

nual fee, etc.



However, on a. small scale among





and preserving, Section 1 states all .





a few neighbors and friends you can .





start, I think, without. a state license,

the same as a. woman sells her butter

to weekly customers.- Many folks sell

canned goods in a: small way without

a license. On a large scale}, would

consult the commissioner of agricul-

ture first.

PREPARING BERRIES FOR BEADS.





 





Could you send me a process of how

to prepare theso berries, I enclose, to

wear as beads?——M. S.



The berries you sent us were very

badly crushed, but I believe they be-

long to the variety commonly known

as deadly night shade. They are very

attractive in color, but are poison

when taken internally. I would not

advise them being made into beads

for general wear.



These berries are sometimes used

as beads for portiers and heavy [drap-

eries. When used as same, they go

through a slow drying process similar

to that used in making dried apples;

If a little care is exerted while drying,

they retain the majority of their origi-

nal vivid color. It is better to string

them on a rather coarse thread before

drying, so that a. center opening may

be well formed.





 





 





 





SEVEN CENTS WORTH OF

HEALTH, PLEASE.





 





'CHIGAN does very well in sup-

Mervising the health of her citi-

zens. She appropriates nearly

seven cents (6.8 cents to be exact) for

each man, woman and child, the money

to be expended through the Michigan

Department of Health, under the direc-

tion of Commisioner Richard M. Olin,

M.D., whose office is at Lansing. Seven

cents is not a niggardly appropriation.

It is far better than the average allow-

ance made by sister states and it

totaled $279,603 last year. YOur inter-

est lies in knowing what is done with

it and whether you get value received.

It is quite impossible to express the

value of health work in mere dollars

and cents. It is fair, however, to quote

this illustration given by Dr. Olin.

Since January 1 of this year one Michi-

gan town has wasted $37,800 on a

totally unnecessary typhoid epidemic.

The money was expended as follows:



Sixty-seven cases of typhoid fever,

each costing $400 in time lost from

work, physician’s bills and nurses’

bills, $26,800; two deaths, each ..life

valued at $51,000, $10,000; typhoid inoc-

ulations at expense of city, $1,000, mak-

ing a total of $37,800.



Had the advice of the State Depart-

ment of Health been sought, and mon-

ey expended on a. *proper water sup-

ply, the same amount would have giv-

en them a permanent plant that would

have been a scurce of pride and an

asset to the municipality.



The Michigan Department of Health

counts the prevention of disease as its

chief mm, but the machinery employed

serves many other valuable purposes.





children. I could write a- book in) ‘t





 





 





It serves to rogister the birth of your





the worth of this little appreciated

work. I will content myself with say-

ing that it protects your child in his

citizenship, voting and property own-

ing rights and will suggest that if there

is any doubt in ybur mind as to the

registration of one of your children

you take the matter up with the de-

partment of health at once. It attends

to quarantine matters, of course, and

many are the citizens who think of it

only in that connection. But quaran-

tine is one of the Very minor functions

of the department of health. If you

want to try this out and discover

whether you personally are getting the

value of the seven cents paid for your

protection, write to Dr. 01in about

some of your very intimate personal

matters. Ask how you should feed

your baby; how to tell whether your

well-water is fit to drink; what you

ought to tell your ten-year—old boy

about the mysteries of sex; how you

ma)’. positively prevent your child from

getting diphtheria. Try him out on

some big matter and see whether you

get your money’s worth.





PRE-NATAL INFLUENCES.





When a baby is going to be born

does it make a great deal of‘difference

what the mother thinks and reads and

what kind of people she mixes with?

Does it make a difference in the intel-

ligence of the baby?— ..K



Only indirectly. If the mother fol-~

lows her thinking and” reading up as

.she brings up her baby, and; sees that

the child is surrounded through life





with things of the same’high order, the '





child will certainly profit greatly.

Merely cultivating high things while





the child is being carried is an encel- ‘ "





lent thing and no doubt helpful. To;

' He reached for his carbide lamp,

hooked to 'a small chink of the hang-

ing‘wall, and then pulled his hat 'over

his bulging forehead. Carefully he at-

tempted to smooth his straying mus-

teens, and failing, has always, gave up

the job.



“I’d be ’appy just to look at it” he

announced. “Come 011. Let’s forget

(do they are and just be lookers-on.”





Fairchild agreed against his will.

Out of the shaft they went and on up

the hill to where the townspeople

again were gathering about the open-

ing of the Silver Queen. A few were

going in. Fairchild and ’Arry joined

them.



A long walk, stooping most of the

wax, as the progress was made

through the narrow, low-roofed tun-

,nel; then a. slight raise which traveled

for a fair distance at an easy grade——

at last to stop; and there before them,

jammed between the rock, was the

strike, a great, heavy streaking vein,

nearly six feet wide, in which the ore

stuck forth in tremendous chunks, em-

bedded in a black background. Harry

eyed it studiously. ,



“You can see the silver sticking

out!” he announced at last. “It’s won-

derful—even if the Rod‘aines did

do it.”



‘A form brushed past them, Blindeye

Bozeman, returning from the celebra-

tion. Picking up a drill, he studied it

with care, finally‘to lay it aside and

reach fora gad, a sort of shar’g‘ point-

ed prod, with which to tear away the

loose matter that he might prepare the

way for the biting drive of the drill

beneath fthe five-pound hammer, or

single jack. His weak, watery eyes

centered on Harry, and he grinned.





- “Didn’t believe it, huh?” came his





query. Harry pawed his mustache.



“I believed it, all right, but anybody

likes to .look at the United States

Mint!”



“You’ve said it. She’s going to be

more than that when we get a few

portable air compressors in here and

start at this thing in earnest with

pneumatic drills. What’s more, the

old man has declared Taylor Bill and

me in on it—for a ten per cent bonus.

How’s that sound to yen?”



“Like ’eaven,” answered Harry

truthfully. “Come on, Boy, let’s us

get out of ’ere. I’ll be getting the

blind staggers if I stay much longer.”



Fairchild accompanied him word-

lessly. It was as though Fate had

played a deliberate trick, that it might

laugh at him. And as he walked

along, he wondered more than ever

about the mysterious telegram and the

mysterious conversation of the greasy

Barnham in Denver. That—as he saw

it now~had been only an attemptzat

another trick. Suppose that he had

accepted; suppose that he had signi-

fied his willingness to sell his mine

and accept the good oflices of the

“secret friend” to end his difficulties.

What would have been the result?





For once a ray of cheer came to

him. The Rodaines had «known of this

strike long before he ever went to

that office in Denver. They had waited

long enough to have their assays

made and had completed their first

shipment to the smelter. There was

no necessity that they buy the Blue

Poppy mine. Therefore, was it simply

another trick to break him, to lead



. him up to a point of high expecta-

tions, then, with a laugh at his disap-

pointment,'throw him . down again?

His shoulders straightened as they

‘ reached the outside air, and he moved





closeio Harry as he told him his con-





jectures. The Cornishman. bobbed his

agreed. “But it could explain a lot of

things. They’re working on our-—

“Psychological resistance.”



“That’s it. 4’ Psych—that’s it. They

want to beat us and they don’t care

’ow. It ’urts a person to be disap-

pointed. That’s it. I alwyes said you

’ad a good ’ead on you! That’s it.

Let’s go back to the Blue Poppy.”



Back they went, once more to de-

scend the shaft, once more to follow

the trail along toward the opening of

the stope. And there, where loose

earth covered the place where a skele-

ton once had rested, Fairchild took

off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.

“Harry,” he said, with a new determi-

nation, “this vein doesn’t look like

much, and the mine looks worse. From

the viewpoint we’ve got now of the

Rodaine plans, there may not be a

cent in it. But if you’re game, I’m

game, and we’ll work the thing until

it breaks us.” ’



“You’ve said it. If we ’it anything,

fine and well—if we can turn out five

thousand dollars’ worth of stuff before

the trial comes up, then we can‘sell

turn over that money for a cash bond,

Fairchild obeyed. They began the

them. Hour after hour they workedfl'





changing positions, sending hole after

hole into the narrow discoloration

which showed their only prospect of

returns for the investments which they

had put into the mine. Then, as the

afternoon grew late, Harry disappear-





ed far down the drift to return with‘





a handful of greasy, candle-like things,

wrapped in waxed paper.



“I knew that dynamite of yours

couldn’t be shipped in time, so I

bought a little up ’ere” he explained,





as he cut one of the sticks in two. with U





a pocketknife and laid the pieces to

one side. Then out came a coil of fuse,

to be cut to its regular lengths and

inserted in the coppercovered caps of

fulminate of mercury, Harry showing

his contempt for the dangerous things

by crimping them about the fuse with

his teeth, while Fairchild, sitting on

a small pile of muck near by, begged

for caution. But Harry only grinned

behind his big mustache and went on.





Out came his pocketknife again as

he slit the waxed paper of the gelatin-

ous sticks, then inserted the cap in

the dynamite. One after another the

charges were shoved into the holes,

Harry tamping them into place with a.

steel rod, instead of with the usual

wooden affair, his mustache brushing

his shoulder as he turned to explain

the virtues of dynamite when handled

by an expert.



“It’s all in the wye you do it,” he

announced. "If you don’t strike fire

with a steel rod, it’s fine.”



“But if you do?”



“Oh, then! ” Harry laughed. “Then

it’s flowers and a funeral—after they

have finished picking you up.”





One after another he pressed the

dynamite. charges tight into the drill

holes and tamped them with muck

wrapped in a newspaper that he drag-

ged from his hip pocket. Then he lit

'the fuses from his lamp and "stood a

second in assurance that they all were

sputtering. . ‘

Ransom, of Michigan, was the second

highest scoring individual. There were

fourteen teams representing twelve

States. All of, these teams were the

winning demonstration teams of their

respective states. First place was won

by an Illinois team on the selection,

feeding, fitting and showing of a dairy

animal. The Illinois team made a

score of 945 while Michigan made a

score of ninety-two. The competition

was very keen as indicated by the





closeness of the score of the high team;





and the fourth team. The judge, Mr.

O. H. Benson, of Springfield: (Mass,

remarked particularly about the team

work and the skill of the Michigan

team. He also remarked about the

little stockman’s tool chest which was

made and given to the team by the

Rikerd Lumber Company, of Lansing.

Dear Uncle Frank:



May I join The Happy Boys’ and

Girls’ Corner, too? I live on a 200-

acre farm. We have six cows, four

horses, two mules, about 150 chickens

and about ninety turkeys. We live

near a lake. My, but it’s fun to go

swimming! We live on a main trav-

eled road.



For pets I have one 'old cat, One

little kitten, three chickens, and one

pig. The pig is nearly six months old.

Every day since it was born I have

lifted it up. It is sure getting heavy

now.



I am in the ninth grade. I haVe blue

eyes and dark hair. I am thirteen

years old and my birthday is Septem-

ber 14. If any other boy’s or girl’s

birthday is then, I would be glad to

hear from them.



I will close my chatter now, hoping

to be a winner. Your Bellaire' Niece,

Iva Crandall, Bellaire, Mich.





“You are as welcome as the flowers

in May.” Yes, it is nice to go swim-

ming but not at this time of the year.

In a short time you will undoubtedly

need a lift when you lift that pig.

farm, so my little brothers and I have

plenty of room to grow in. We have ,

been enjoying the nutting season and,

have gathered two bags of hickory

nuts from one tree, and still have

three more hickory trees to gather

from. We have three bags of walnuts,





., so I guess we’ll go “nutty” this winter.





We each have a sheep and daddy

will keep them and give us two in

four years, etc. We have a. very fine

colt, “Don,” who is a regular mischief.

The other day he took hold of our tent

and shook it until it fell down.



The farm is interesting to me, be-

cause I lived in Detroit until two years

ago. My nine-year-old brother, Dur-

ward, is a regular farmer. He spring-

toothed three acres with a three-horse

team after school tonight.

Dear UncleFrank: '—



Well, at last I have started this let-

ter. It seems that I never could get

started. I’ll just tell you my reasons.

Busy, busier, busiest. That, explains

it. This is my firstexperlence writing

to you, and I am starting with answer-

ing the question in your Read-and-Win

Contest. ~. ,



I am fifteen years old, weigh 103

pounds, am sixty-two inches tall, have

brown eyes and brown curly hair.



I have a’small horse I often ride,

and when I do ride I generally go to

the back of our farm where there is

a river. The land is very hilly and

some of the hills‘are real steep, too.

I just love to go back there and ride

up and down those hills. Seems like

going over the mountains. .



Some of the, girls around here, after

school is out, saddle their horses and

go and get some other girl and spend

the rest of the. afternoon in riding.

Also the boys do this. Don’t you envy

them? Maybe you are not as fond of





riding as -I. '

auto trips this summer. But forthis

south or southeast so that a maximum

amount of sunlight will penetrate the

building at all times. The house may

be constructed of lumber or tile with

equally satisfactory results. A con-

crete building is not entirely satisfac-

tory owing to the fact that it is inclin-

ed to be damp, during the fall and

winter months. For this reason it is





difficult to maintain a healthy condi-r

Eggs! Eggs!

13 Eggs a Day from 15 Hens. Miss .





Wright Tells How.





“Late in October, our 15 old hens were

not laying at all. I started giving them

Don Sung, and for ten days they still

didn’t lay. But on the. eleventh day, they

laid 13 eggs, and it is wonderful what Don

Sung has done for our egg basket through

the fall, winter and spring. There never

was another tonic like Don Sung."-——Misa

Dams Wright, Veronia, Ore.



A $1 package of Don Sung lasts 15 hens

90 days. 'The extra eggs for Just a few

days paid Miss Wright for her Don Sung.



he rest was clear profit.



You may not believe

'that hens can lay well all

winter. Neither did Miss

Wright until she accept

our offer. It’s open to you

-——here it is:



Give Don Sung to 15

hens. Then watch results

, for 30 days. If it doesn't

show you a big increase in

eggs. if it doesn’t pay for itself and pay

you a good profit besides, tell us and your

money will be promptly refunded.



Don Sung (Chinese for egg laying) acts

directly on the egg-laying organs, and is

beneficial in every way. It makes hens

healthy and happy. They scratch and sing.

Pullets develop earlier. The whole flock

lays regularly in any season, in any

weather, when eggs are scarce and high.



Can you afford to ignore .the wonderful

reports you are hearing from Don Sung

users everywhere? Why not let us show

you the same results, with your own flock?

Don Sung is no trouble to use. It costs

nothing to try. All we ask is a chance to

prove our claims, entirely at our risk. Get

Don Sung from your local dealer, or send

50 cents for package by mail prepaid (large





e, $1, holds -three times as much).

“Best Ever’?





*Byf. H





EGGER and better than ever be-

fore, ” was the verdict of the Mich-

" igan spectators at the National

Dairy Show held in the Twin Cities,

Minnesota, last month. It surpassed





outstanding new features which wid-

ened its scope and made‘it a show of

vital. interest to the average farm fam-

ily.



Chief among the new features was

the grade cattle exhibit of "350 head,

just common cows that by careful

breeding and feeding had beenmade





. to produce many timesas much as the





ordinary scrub cow.



The splendid exhibit of dairy stock-

from the boys’ and girls’ club work;

the larger number of contestants in

both the junior and collegiate judging

contest; the better exhibits of cow-

testing association work; a national

poultry exposition with gym thousand

birds selected from the" best pens of

America; and most important of all,

the magnificent $32,000 exhibit,

“Healthland” linking up the Whole im-

mense dairy industry as never before

with the health and welfare of human

beings—were other outstanding fea-

tures of the 1922 show.



The backbOne of the show of course,





-Was the magnificent display of fine





pure-bred dairy cattle. There were

one thousand head of the prize-win-

ning Ayrshires, HolSteins, Jerseys,

Guernseys and Brown Swiss gathered

from all parts of the United States and

Canada.



The million dollar dairy machinery

display was exceptionally complete

and represented the latest and‘best in

modern dairy equipment from milk

pails and test tubes, to glass-lined

steel milk tank cars.



Seventeen national farm and dairy

conventions held sessions during the

show, pioviding opportunity for those

in attendance to piofit by the success

of their assdciates in dairy WOlk.



The best evidence that the National

Dairy Show has finally struck its right

gait is the fact that this year real

dairy farmers came by the thousands





 





 





 





 





COW-TESTING WORTH WHILE.





 





ERE is the record of one associa-



tion. The first year the cows test-

ed in this association averaged 251.9

pounds of butter-fat and 5,074 pounds

of milk. The average return for each

dollar of feed cost was $2.68. The sec-

ond year the average production in-

creased to 290 pounds of butter-fat and

5,610 pounds of milk. The return for

each dollar invested in feed went up

to $2.88. The increase of output per

cow amounted to 534 pounds of milk

and thirty-nine pounds of ‘buttcnfat.

The additional twenty cents profit on

every dollar invested in feed meant

an increase of $9.98 net profit per cow

over the preceding year.





 





 





and the interest and study that they

gave the exhibits forecasts better and

more profitable dairying on thousands

of farms in the midwest not previous-

ly touched -by this show.

Still other booths taught the fundar

tions and cow-testing Work. One

booth revealed the fact that in a herd

of ninety-one dairy cows on which the

gavernment. had records, the farmer

received an income of ‘only‘sixty-four

cents per head in excess of feed costs,

or a. total of $38.24 for the ninety-one

owned by Twin Oaks Farm, Morris-

town, New Jersey, was declared grand

champion cow in the Jersey class, and

Fern’s Waxford Noble, from the same

farm was pronounced grand champion

bull.





Brown Swiss—Some idea of the

close placings in this breed may be

obtained from the fact that it took

three judges many hours of delibera-

tion to decide some of the places in

the Brown Swiss class; Hull Brothers

Company, of Painesville, Ohio, were

awarded grand championship honors

on Swiss Valley Girl 7th. Marshall

& Sons captured highest honors in the

bull class with Nellie’s Stasis.





Alpena County Exhibit.



But few exhibits at the Ii'airy Show

attracted more attention than the one

put on by the Leer Guernsey Breeders’

Association of Alpena County, Michi-

gan. Perhaps most Michigan folks

are familiar With the story of how this

Guernsey Bull Association was formed

in 1909, one Of the first in the United

States. Although they used no pure—

bred “Guernsey cows, by careful selec-

tion, breeding and feeding the graded-

11p Guernsey crosses show an increase





of onehundred pounds of butter-fat a...





year~over native jack-pine cows. The

importance of pure-bred sires is an

established fact and, today many other





communities are doing what Leer has





done. As a result better and more

prosperous communities have been

built and happiness: brought to the





 





ed, the income for each cow was more

than $74 above feed cost. In other

words, one cow in this herd gave a’

larger profit above feed costs than the

ninety-one cows in the untested herd.



One booth showed Uncle Sam with

his little piece of cheese—only 3.7

pounds a__year as the “Slighted Guest

at the World’s Cheese Banquet." _If

he only ate as much, as the English- ,

men, the German, the Dutchman, the

Frenchman or the Dane, and only 11315

as much as the Swiss, our dairy farm-

ers would have to produce nine billion

pounds more milk per year to supply

the market than they are doing now.

Does this look like over-production?

Under-consumption, we should say, es-

pecially after seeing the disgusted

look on Uncle Sam’s face and knowing

that he really has a taste for cheese

which can easily be developed by giv-

ing him good cheese. It will add much

to his well-being. ‘



Grade Cow Exhibit.



The Holstein-Friesian Association. 0!

America, in their exhibit emphasized

the importance of using a pure-bred

bull in grading up the herd. A series

of breeding and production records

showed that'daughters of scrub cows

sired by pure-bred bulls increased the

production over their scrub dams

eighty-three per cent for milk and

fifty-eight per cent for butter, while

grand-daughters of these original

scrubs sired by pure bred bulls in-

creased the milk production ever their

grand-dams 180 per cent and the but-

ter-fat production 128 per cent. Obvi-

ously it pays to nae a pure-bred bull.

spectacle, avveritable wonderland cal-

culated to arouse interest in child

health, This wonderland consisted of

various villages reached via the

Healthland Express, a real steam pro-

pelled train, on which the boys and

girls were given free rides. There

were castles to visit and hills to climb

and bridges to cross, and at every

turn signs told the story of health.

Healthlands, while designed especially

to interest boys and girls in the use

proper foods and exercise, effectively

illustrated the relation of the dairy

arming thallt‘breod‘ersf or central ‘

Michigan has become eatabushed‘se an,





annual event. Each year 3993 more

satisfactory results than the last. The

week, béginnhig October 16 has with

nessed the most successful series so

far held within the state. It began

with, the sale Of Laughliii, Sherk,





Adams & Wood, cf Caledonia, October -





17, with results as reported last week.



The following ,day. farmers “and

breeders from‘far' and near gathered

at the home of Wesley Hile, near

Ionia. where a. special efforthas been

made, not only to‘breed good hogs, but

to breed the best, and breed them bet-

ter. That the buyers at the ringside

appreciated his efforts is evidenced by

the report Which follows below.



From here the dozenor more bread-

ers who followed the entire circ t,

proceeded to the Brewbaker place at

Elsie, where W. Brewbaker and his

loyal sons have been breeding Poland

Chinas for many years." They were

among the earliest breeders in the

state to own a. real 100rpound herd

boar. Their herd is widely known an

their sales always good. ‘



The last sale, but by no means the

least, was that of _E. A. Clark, whose

well-equipped farm is located north 013





St. Louis, in one of the very best farm-_





ing sections Of Michigan. Mr. Clark

is a. comparatively new breeder and

this is his first sale. ' He is satisfied

with none but the best and has re-

cently secured some very high-class

stock from the foremost herds of Iowa.

and Missouri. A few of these or their

baby pigs were put. through the sale

ring and it was an occasion for real





thrills to see the breeders clamor after.





these attractions. It was in this sale

that the tOp of the entire circuit was

uncovered in a February gilt, that Went

to W. B. Ramsdell, of Hanover, at

$202.50. Mr. Ramsdell also secured the

top in the Hile Sale, a yearling gilt at

$174. They were both of the extreme

big type and strictly up to date‘breed-

ing. Auctioneers Wm. Waffle, of Cold-

water, and John Hoffman, of Hudson,

conducted the sales in a. creditable

manner. The catalog number, name

of buyer and price of those selling for

$30 or over in the last three sales are

Failure to Come in Heat—I have a.

- cow two years old that came fresh on

June 15, since then she has failed to

come in heat and, I might add she has

not been in good health for the past

month. A. F., Port Huron, Mich.—

Give her forty drops of fluid extract of

nux vomica at a dose three or four

times a day. Have you had her tuber-

‘culin tested? \



Mammitis.——Have a cow that came

fresh last June; since then she milked

well up to September 24, when one

quarter of udder became inflamed, and

now she gives very little milk and con-



siderable brown fluid. The udder is

hard and cow is growing thin. C. A.

W., Clarkston, Mich—Ask your drug-

gist for iodine ointment and apply it

to udder twice a day. Her milk is

unfit for use. ,



Congestion of Udder.——- Have a twen-

ty-month-old heifer due to freshen in

a few days; her udder is congested.

A. F., Stephenson, Mich—Reduce her

food supply, draw off some milk three

or four times a day, keep her bowels

active and give her some exercise.



Acute lndigestion.—-Lately I have

lost several calves; they were only

sick a few hours, bloat badly, suffer

much pain and don’t last long. G. S.

L., Fenton, Mich.-—You fail to mention

their age; hoWever, I take it they are

young. Careful feeding, keeping them

clean, their bowels open, and when

they have an attack give from one-half

to two drama of aromatic spirits of

ammonia in a teacup of cold water

every hour until" bloat goes down and

pain ceases.



Mrs. W. D., Vicksburg, Mich.—

Rough milking is a very common

cause of cows giving bloody milk, or

it may result from injury. Remove

the cause is the best remedy.



Chronic Garget.——My twelve-year-old

cow has garget, affecting her whole

udder; her milk is full of lumps which

will not pass through strainer and she

gives very little milk. A. E. S., Lake

Ann, Mich—Her milk should not be

used and I believe her incurable. When

she comes fresh again you are likely to

have similar ailment affecting her, as

her udder is infected.



Breeding Question.——I have a year-

ling ram, a twin, the other twin is a

female. I am told the male will not

breed, is this true? I have twenty

ewes which I would like to breed to

him, if you believe he will get lambs.

C. E. E., Assyria Center, Mich—The

male will get lambs, but the female

may not breed. _



Worm Fi.ts—Vefitigo.—I have a valu-

able dog eighteen months old that has

sick spells. He acts wild, runs, barks,

acting as if in pain, but the attack does

not last long. A neighbor has a young

dog which acts the same way. He does

not appear to be sick. H. H., East

Jordon, Mich.——Mix equal parts of fluid

extract of spigelia and fluid extract

of senna together—fast dog for twen-

_ty-four hours and give him from fif-

teen to thirty drops three times'a

week for two weeks, or less. Notice if

he passes many‘worms; it may not be

necessary to give more than one dose.



Tender Feet—My , hound .dog has

tender feet [‘Will you tell me how'to

WHEAT





Wheat prices lost six to eight cents

of the recent bulge last week, but the

most of the decline has been recovered.

Shortage of wheat in nearby positions

for export continues and large sales

were made after a brief lull. Domestic

milling demand which has been unusu-

ally brisk ebbed slightly when flour

buyers had supplied their most press~

ing needs but mills are grinding at a

high rate and the flour market is far

from dull. Factors coloring the more

distant outlook for wheat favor higher

rather than lower prices. It is doubt-‘

ful if the recent advance has discount-

ed fully the change in the world’s sta-

tistical position in which the surpluses

in exporting countries, although large,

are not greater than the potential

needs of importers.





CORN





The corn market had a moderate

setback along with wheat. More corn

was offered by producers, the heavy

shipping season for new corn is not

,far distant, exporters curtailed their

purchases, and the recent advance

with the decline in hog prices has

brought corn more nearly up to its

feeding value. Most of the loss has

_been recovered again, however, and

prices are expected to hold up well.

The order to return cars to western

lines will enlarge receipts in another

week or so, but sales for forward ship-



. ment are large and should take care

of much of the increase.





OATS





Export demand for cats improved



. decidedly last March and has contin-

’ lied on the better level ever since. A

measure of the change‘ is shown by

clearances from United States ports



, of 5,576,00Mushels in the eight weeks



ending October 21, compared with only



, 57,000 bushels in the same period last

. year and 309,000 bushels two year

i; ago. Visible supplies of oatsin t e

w United States are but-little more than



' half as large as those at< this time a ,



yygar ago and are decreasing.

"'1"





Clover seed prices show but little

change compared with .a week ago.

Scattered reports point to a, lighter

yield of red than the last ofl‘icial esti-

mate indicated. Foreign yields are

said to be small and of poor quality.

The department of agriculture reports

that about one-third of the red clover

and one-half of the alsike clover seed

crops had been sold by growers Oc-





tober 14.

FEEDS ‘





Feed markets have become easier

in the last few days with wheat feeds

$1@2 lower and jobbers quoting $1

below mill prices. The southwest re-





mains the principal buyer and dairy \





sections are said to be doing little.

Stocks of feed are generous and the

rate of production is up to normal at





least.

HAY





Car shortage and high transporta-

tion costs are keeping down receipts

of hay and prices on most markets re

main firm. Demand is not especially

urgent except for best grades.’ The

supply of alfalfa at Kansas City has

expanded moderately and that market

has lost some of its recent snap.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Fresh egg prices advanced sharply

last week as a result of pronounced

decline in the supply during the laSt

few weeks. Further contraction“in

receipts at the leading markets will be

due in the next month. Storage eggs

are not keeping pace with the advance

in fresh eggs. The rate of distribu-

tion of the latter during October was

larger than usual in October but not

large enough to reduce storage hold-





ings to normal size on November 1.’





Poultry receipts are increasing but the

accumulation of frozen poultry in stor-





 





   





tober shipment was broken during the

past Weekend prices slid quickly from

$7 per 100 [pounds for chOice hand-

picked, whites r. o. b. Michigan ship-

ping points doWn to $6.26.— Demand

dropped off when the break began,

buyers waiting for the bottom to be

BUTTER





Light production or butter as shown

by reports from numerous creameries

and' by receipts at the leading mar-

kets resulted in a further advance in

the butter market last Week. Fancy

butter was- easy to clear as usual at

this season of the year, but the short-

age in receipts was sufficient to help

the lower grades materially. Large

withdrawals from storage are being

made to supplement the scarcity of

fresh butter and the reduction in stor-

age holdings during October appar-

ently was materially above the aver-

age. Prices have advanced much more

rapidly than in other countries and it

is reported that several cars of fancy

Canadian butter are en route to this

country as well as small quantities

from Denmark and England. The

amounts are too small to be of much

consequence, but if disposed of profit-

ably, more may come later.



Prices on 92—score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 460; New York

480. Fresh creamery in tubs is selling

at Detroit for 39@400.

GRAND RAPIDS





Fresh egg prices turned up sharply

in Grand Rapids, dealers early this

week raising their bids from 41 to 45

cents, with predictions being freely

made that quotations may touch 500

by Saturda , although the advance in

prices ten ed to curtail consumption

of fresh stocks and stifién the demand

for storage. Potatoes were slightly

weaker, selling at 40@45c per bushel.

Apples were steady with a little better

demand due to‘buyers and retailers

pushing apple week in a. small way.

Hogs and cattle were easier, but

lambs, which are in short supply, stiff-

ened. The market broke on white

beans late last week and the market

was somewhat unsettled early this

Week.

Atrade’c





,few months or the next year, presents





 





,Y” 1“ w' of industrialgand

onditicns involving the next

mirly pleasing picture in all but one

or two sections of our economic life,

but when the focus is adjusted to cov-





' er a longer Span of time, clouds can be





seen on the horizon. Since the rate of

turnover in farm production is so

much slower and the time required to,

expand operations is so much longer

than is the case with other lines of

endeavor, the far view is quite im-

portant.



The close up outlook covers univer-

sal employment of labor at high wag-

es, industries operating ‘at a high rate,

steady gains in bank clearings meas-

uring volume of trade, rising commod-

ity prices, freight loadings far above

normal with those of general mer-

chandise especially heavy, car orders

about fifteen per cent in excess of the

supply, reports from wholesalers and

retailers corroborating other signs of

broad demand for consumers’ goods,

comparatively cheap money, gains in

savings deposits, declines in commer-

cial failures, and increases in our ex-

port trade. Even farmers, who have

benefited least, have reduced their in-

debtedness a great deal. General

sentiment is the most hopeful since

1920. ‘ Indeed, much more progress in

industrial revival has been made than

seemed possible with the farmer’s buy-

ing power reduced and European con-

ditions as unsatisfactory as they have

been.



Some further improvement in activ-

ity is expected in the next few months

and it may extend through much of the

next year but the opinion is becoming

more prevalent that ultimately a re-

lapse must take place before all funda-

mental conditions will be sound. La-

bor and fuel are too high, so that

costs of fabricated goods are out of

line, building costs make investments

in construction unsafe, transportation

costs are exorbitant, taxes must come

down and some progress must be made

toward healing the economic wounds

of Europe instead of ,making new ones

all the time. .



Just when the turning point will be

reached, assuming that this view is

correct, remains to be seen, but pre«

sumably the usual signals will be giv-

en. No change is expected before some

time'next year, at least, and it may be

still longer deferred.



in any case, farmers will be least

harmed by virtue of the already over-

deflated status of prices for most of

their products. In fact, it should be of

benefit to them in the long run by

bringing prices of other products

more nearly into alignment with their





' 0WD.
