CURRENT COMMENT
THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

There is no such animal as a “butter
substitute.”

There is more in life than work, but
there would not be much life without
work.

Suspicion is the propagator of dis-
cord. Let’s avoid it by being more
careful in forming our opinions.

Most anyone can get along on the
level, but it takes extra determination
and energy to climb hills.

Fireside farming will be the prevail— ‘

ing occupation for many in a little
while. It should be a worth while part
of your farming activities.

It is the chaff, not the wheat, which
blows away after the use of the flail.
It is the weak, not the strong, which
succumb to adversity. There is need
for farmers to be strong in these days
of adjustment.

The ideal day is eight hours’ work,
eight hours” recreation and eight
hours’ sleep. But the man who likes
his work so well that it is play, gets
sixteen hours of recreation and eight
hours of sleep, and makes a success of
his work besides.

E recall the
storyof the

The stone which the build-
Key ers rejected. Rolled
Stone to one side, other ma-

, terials soon accumu—
lated about this istone until it was
nearly lost. But in time it was sought
and found and finally became the key
which held firmly together the arch of
the great temple.

Michigan’s agricultural history is
something like the history of this
stone. In the western migration of
land—seekers she was ignOred, being
looked upon as inferior and. even im-
possible as a farming section. But
when the great test came during the
world war it was soon evident that
the type of agriculture to which Mich-
igan conditions were peculiarly fitted
and which her farmers had developed,
was much better adapted to resist the
hardships of a severe depressidn than
' were the onecrop states.- As a con-se-
quence a score of these single-010p

“ states have inaugurated programs urg-

_ ing farmers to adopt diveisifled farm-

.. jg,
Our attention is brought to this sub- »
,‘l ctxby- the very recent announcement .

A line of farming which may become of

great Commercial inoporta‘nce. It is

now positively known that tulip bulbs

can be grown in scuthenn Michigan at
a profit. These plants ,bed, force, pro-
dues and reproduce normally under
certain Michigan conditions. This bus-
iness no doubt will and should develop
slowly. But with the principle of di-
versified farming established and the
federal suryey showing that right con-
ditions exist here, it is tolerably cer-
tain that our progressive tillers of the
soil will see that this new line of farm.
ing will be advanced as rapidly as it
should.

This, with the recent establishment
of our leadership in the baby chick
business and in fox farming, indicates
that Michigan will finally be discov-
ered as the key state and continue to
lead her sister states in the diversified
farming program.

TATISTICS are us-
ually dry, hard to

qulqat’n? understand, but often
Michigan 3 interesting after some
Popularity one has taken the

time to get the inter-
esting facts out of them.

Lately, some figures have been com-
piled which show that Michigan is
‘judged by many people, to be a good
state to live’ in. These figures show
the relation between the ingoing and
outgoing population, or in other words,
the immigration and emmigration.

It was shown that during the first
half of the year New York lost approx-
imately eighty per cent of the number
of people who came in the state by
those going out. Ohio and PennSyl-
vania also had eighty per cent of the
number of people who came in the
state go out of it. Massachusetts, Ill-
inois and New Jersey lost by those
leaving the state, about one~half of
their increase in population due to
immigration.

third of the number leave the state
that came into it to make a home. It
also made the highest proportional
gain in population of any of the lead—
ing states of the Union.

It is thought that Michigan’s rapid
recovery from the recent depression,
her favorable situation agriculturally,
and her freedom from labor troubles
are the main factors which make her
a favored state.

AID the boy, “I

Hinder 3 little money.” Said.

the father, “Oh, it
would be too much of a bother and
you wouldn’t make anything out of
it anyhow.”

The Dad’s wrong. He should have
said, “That’s the stuff. Go right ahead.
I’ll give you a couple of hens and a
rooster, so you can have some hatch-
ing eggs next spring. You keep 3 rec-
ord of what feed you use and you can
pay me for it after you get started.”

Encouragement is one of the great-
est fa-ctorsjn the'proper development
of youth. To discourage any laudable
ambition of the young is to place a
handicap on them which is more last-

,ing in effect than we realize.

How often we old folks have wanted
to do things, constructive things,
which we did not do because we lacked
the confidence and had the fear «to try.
We can help to overcome this same
feeling in our children by giving them
as free a reign with their constructive
desires as we possibly can. some of
these urgings of youth seem a little
foolish to us and may prove their
foolishness to the youth after a trial
but the mere trying will add to the
boy's confidence to do things.- ~‘

Michigan, however, had only 0119-.

the way to, success in farming, their

life’s ocdupetion, because their desire '

to do things was helped and guided by
good leaders.

ern Michigan farmer

Way bought at reasonably,
’to Fail good prices thirty

‘ pure-bred animals.
This past season crops in his locality
were p091, due to dry weather. As a
consequence he did not have enough
feed for these animals. After allowing
them to go for a couple of months on
half rations and get in a very emaci-
ated condition, he offered them last
week ‘at public auction. The animals
were bid off at less than half price,
entailing a heavy loss to the owner.
Such is the story of how one man
failed. Another farmer accomplished

the same end by purchasing a good.

farm' and then permitting it to run
down. A third obtained a. supply of
highlyabred seed and then paid no at-
tention to maintaining its standard.
Still another built expensive buildings
and watched them go to ruin. Many,
many instances could be enumerated
of how farmers, like other men, have
failed through the deterioration- of
property in their hands. Anyone can

do it. All that is necessary is to sim-

ply let things go. The result will be
inevitable.

ELFISHNESS is a

p rim a1 instinct,

The 'which most of us very

C0"! of. With all its cute-

Heart rarely get entirely rid

ness, the baby is the
most selfish individual. Unselfishness,
or consideration (if others, comes as a
result of our contact with other peo-
ple. Education and civilization should
make us less selfish, and it \undoubted-
ly does, but it also adds a multiplicity
of duties and activities in which we
become engrossed so that we‘often for-
get our social relationship in the
broader sense of the word.

A noted educator has said that “the
cold hearts and indifference of so-call-
ed civilized people are more menacing
than tlfe bolshevists and wavers of red
flags. Cold hearts and cold feet are
national perils.”

The bolshevist, or red, is rampant,
noisy and noticeable. We know he is
our problem because he advertises
himself as such. But indifference is
quiet, spreading no propaganda, and
therefore is not recognized as a prob-
lem. It is, however, insidious in its
effect on our body politic and our so-
cial organization. Perhaps the reason.

. We do not notice it is because most all

of us can be accused of being afflicted
with some degree of indifference. The
trouble is with us, and therefore we

'can not see it.

“Honest Abe” said that this was a
government of the people, for the peo-
ple and by the people. But the activ-
ities of most of the people in this gov
ernment consists of listening to a few
campaign speeches and marking a few
X’s on the ballot once or/twice a year.
Our other citize'nship activities consist
mostly of grumbling abdut how things
are run. '

Radicalism‘ thrives on public indif-
ference and grumbling. But it would

‘not have .a ghost of a show if ea'ch of

us would encourage loyalty to govern-
mental institutions and quit grumbling
until we were sure We had due cause
for complaint. And then instead of
grumbling we should become factors

Naturally We got the business. .
Today within our own land we have
a similar situation. There ds the usual.
urgency for the ‘mdvement of perish-
able crops. At the 'same time the
greatest car shortage on record, exists.
Instead, however, of using the" avail-
able cars for short hauls as they did
during the war time, the powers that
be are sending the empties to the ut-
termost parts of the country to carry
products which are in abundant supply
much nearer. the points of consump-
tion. As a. consequence, producing 10-

, calities within reasonable distance of

big cities are getting fewer cars than
their normal quota, while sections far
remote are having their quotas filled.

We can see one distinchadvantage
in this situation. The railroads are
getting the benefit that comes from
the long hauls. Possibly the car dis
tribution orders should be issued to
favor the railroads instead of the pub-
lic. But since railroads were built for
public service we cannot understand
why this should he so.

HESE mornin’s when the frost is
on the punkin and it’s warmer in

fine and makes a. fellow think" the
alarum clock is a instrument of \tor-
ture. New, I ain’t got one of them
regular alarum clocks, but Sophie is .
my instrument of torture at the time
of the day when sleepin’ feels the best.
I just don’t- like this difficulty of
startin’ the day, and think it is fine
when you kin follow the weather when
it goes south. These pictures of girls
takin’ their bath in the Gulf of Mexico
.with their bathin’
suite is sure a in-
ducement, espe-
cially when I got-

took a trip to Pam Beach. And I tell
you it sure was fine, but I found bath-
in’ suits more interestin’ than Pam
Beach ones. I got ’in one of them
bathin’ suits myself. I felt ashamed
of my general exposure, but felt purty
well covered when I got in the water.

I had lots of fun playin’ “Ring-
Around-a—Rosie” with some girls What
is as nice as them school girls I’ve
been takin’ ridin’. They splashed me
and ducked me and I returned the fa?
vors to them. After a while they got
me out on the beach and they buried
me, all except'my head. And after they
got me all covered they'said I looked
like the Rocky Mountains on the
beach When they said that, I lafled,
and made a earthquake.

Then I got up and we played tag
and leap frog and had lots of fun. You
know them southern breezes offa the

twenty-five. years younger. And them'
breezes sure felt fine blowin’ in my
face and through my hair. One of the ’
girls run after me and said, “Tag, you
are 1.” Then I woke» up and there ._
was Sophie sleepin’ like twenty mile

N many communities the school fair
Ihas become one of the. most inter:
esting social events of the year,
bringing young and old together, with

. i - the result that a better understanding
~i § is established between the present and
future generation of the community.

It is gradually coming_to be realized
that there is no stronger incentive to
’keep young men and women on .the

farm than personal interest and activ-

. ity in some practical phase of farm

work. And the special interest that
. always appeals 1with the paramount
force is the show and prize list.

To organize. an exhibition of boys’
arid girls’ work and make it1 a success
is almost, if not" quite, as great a task
as to get up a show for the adults.
One reason for this is that the boys
and girls should have as much as pos-
sible to do with the arrangements;
and they must, in most cases, be di-
rected, to a large extent, in the things
to be done and the methods of doing.

If it is a school fair the teacher will
wisely refrain from too much dictation
or bossing, laying‘ihe business before
the pupils with the best suggestions,
but leaving the deciding and the per-
formance as much as possible with the
classes or committees in‘ charge of the
various departments. The following
suggestions may be of great value to
those wishing to put on some such
affair.

First,- select a boy to conduct the
program on the, day of the show; sec-
ond, a boy to construct or secure the
tables and decorate the rooms; third,
a boy to see that the products are en-
- tered in the proper classes as they are

brought in; fourth, a boy to act as
’ clerk for the judge on the day of the

I

show; fifth, a boy to place ribbons on'
' the products and distribute theprizes.

While each of these boys may help

the others, yet each has a particular
job, for which he is responsible. These
boys are chosen by their, classmates,
to carry out their~particular duties.
They may have assistants, if needed.
After having elected officers for the
show, the next problem is one of ad-
vertising. This can be done in several
ways.

For example:

All exhibits must have been grown
during the preceding season on the
farm of the exhibitor.

An entry of corn shall consist of ten
ears, unless otherwise provided for.

Entries should be made in person if
possible. -

Only one entry will be allowed any
exhibitor in a single/class.

No entrance fee shall be charged to
exhibitors.

Small grains are generally brought

,in quantities of one peck each.

Different methods have been used in
securing premiums. In some cases the
agriCultural departments put on a play,
the proceeds to be used for the ex-
pense of the exhibit and the payment
of premiums. In other cases some 10-
cal organization may contribute. The

more common plan has been to depend
on individual contributions of money
or merchandise from local merchants
«or others ninterested. In such cases,
the contributor should be given pub-
licity In exchange for the gift.

The exhibits shown may be sold at
auction after the show and the money
used to pay expenses. Sometimes,
however, this is not satisfactory, as
the owners of good exhibits often wish
to keep them. This can be arranged
for those who wish their products
back.

Expensive premiums should not be
encouraged. It has been found much
more satisfactory to offer several small
premiums than a few large ones.
Some schoolshave found it advisable
to give, in addition to other premiums,
printed ribbons, denoting first, second,
third and fourth classes.

It has been found advantageous to
have some form of entertainment or
speaking in connection with the show.
In one instance, a room was provided
for the exhibition of relics and cur-
ios. This proved an attractive part of
the showy A corn-judging contest
should be held by Ihe boys taking ag-
ricultural work, or possibly, a stock
judging contest. Demonstrations in
knot-tying, halter-making and rope
splicing by vocational boys are always
of interest.

Ca1e should be exercised in secur-
ing. a competent judge. Sometimes the
county agent is available and does sat-
isfactory work; in other cases the ex-
tension department may be able to
furnish a good man. In every instance
the judge should be a man'in whom
the people have confidence. Future
shows may be discouraged through
neglect of this point. It is well to make
use of the experience of the past, but
the fair needs to be kept up-to—date.

Thc‘Grcatcst Livc Stock School

Prof. G. A. Brown of M A. C. Tells of Me Educatzmml Opportumlzes
‘. Ofirm’ 53/ Me Great Inlemdtzofial at Cflzmgo

HE greatest of all agricultural

exhibits from the standpoint of

educational value to. those who
attend, will be held at Chicago when
the International Live Stock Exhibié
.tion. celebrates its twenty-third anni-
versary, December 2-9, 1922.

This show has long since outgrown
its name. Not only does it bring to-
gether the best and most representa-
tive animals of all breeds‘from the
four corners of the\.earth, thus entit-
ling it to be called the premier live

' stock display of the wdrld, but has so

' enlarged its scope during the paSt few
years-that it now embodies‘education-
a1 and display departments touching
practically all phases of rural life, and
of educational value to every member
of the family, including the wife and
children. ‘

This show is-. the only exhibition
'where commercial live stock produc-
tion of single aninials and carload lots,
~ of cattle, sheep and swine receives as
much attention as the pure-bred breed-

in'g animal so necessary to successful

economic production of market ani-
mals The display of single entri'és of

rows and wethers '

methods of feeding in the production

_of meat-producing animals.

In the stock yards will be found car-
load exhibits of steers, hogs and sheep,
all of them'of superior individuality
and market topping caliber, the kind
for which the packer is willing to pay

a premium. The owuers of these car- '

load lots are always on hand/to ex—
plain to the onlooker the methods of
feeding used to attain the results
shown and the animals speak volumes
themselves for the use ofpure-bred
sires.

The carload exhibits are not pamp-
ered show exhibits, but are fitted, on
farms .where the income from live
stock is the sole source of income, with
the idea of producing a market-topping
animal at the least possible cost of
production and greatest profit to the
feeder; The carload exhibits are not

limited to finished cattle; many car-
load lots of feeder steers will be ex-
hibited for the prizes and sold at auc-
tion at the close of the exhibition.
Every farmer who is producing steers,
lambs or hogs, can well.afford a visit
to View the carload exhibits alone.

In the main exposition buildings and
judging arena will be found the best
pure-bred beef cattle, sheep and hogs
from every state of the Union and
Canada. Here it is that the prize Win-
ners and champions from many state
and regional fairs compete for the
supreme honors of the live stock uni-
verse. From Saturday morning, De-
cember 2, until December 9, the judg-
ing arena of the well-lighted, steam
heated pavilion, capable of seating 15,-
000 people, will be a parade ground
for the aristocrats of the animal king-
dom, constantly passing in review be-

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

 

 

  

  

  

 
 

fore the judges and thousands of. spec—
tators. Here the old and new breeder
of pure—bred live stock will rub el-
bows, “swap” experiences, and become
familiar with the correct standards for
the breed in which they are interested.

Practically all of the pedigree record
associations will hold their annual
meetings some time during the week,
elect officers, and outline policies for
the promotion of their favorite breed
during the ensuing year. Every breed-
er should take an active part in the
activities of his breed association by
attending its annual meeting and as—
sist in formulating an active policy for
the promotion of pure—bred live stock
interests.

Successful live stock production is
dependent in a large measure upon
the economic production of hay and
grain. This year will be held in con-
nection with‘the show, the Fourth In-
ternational Hay and Grain Show. Last
year three thousand samples of grain,
hay and seeds were on exhibit. The
exhibits in this department are all
grouped and classed according to the
region in which they were produced,

thus enabling the visitor to compare p
varieties and samples of seed adapted

to his particular locality. The breed.

KEROSENE
Heat~Light
Power

 

Forty Years Ago

the first National Light Ker-
osene Was sold for oil lamps.
It gave a steadywhite, bright
light with a clear chimney,
and clean wick. Almost im-
mediatelyit lifted itself out of
the ordinary Coal Oil class of
oils and became famous as a
Kerosene with no smoke or
odor. People traveled miles
out of their way to buy it.

Today National Light
Kerosene is known as the
highest quality Kerosene on
the market.

Use it in your oil stoves and
heaters. No impurities to
clog wick or burner. No
smoke or odor to cause '
ill health.

Use it in your Incubators,
its uniform heat will hatch
healthy chicks from every
fertile egg. No poisonous
fumes to clog egg shell pores
when used in Incubators or
fumes to kill little chicks
in the Brooder.

Use it in your Tractor, it will
develop more power than
ordinary Coal Oil because
every drop is consumed in
the firing chamber, eliminw
ating any chance of the un-
used portion diluting Lubri-
cating oil in the crank case.

Use National Light Kerosene
for your Lighting Plant,
Lanterns, every purpose
where Kerosene is used you
will find “National Light”
more satisfactory and eco-
nomical.

You can use a drum or more.

FEDERAL GRADES SUCCESSFUL

 

I HE department of’ agriculture is
receiving many letters from pro-
ducers’ and shippers’ organizations
which have adopted federal grades for
fruits and vegetables, in nearly every
instance giving a favorable report of
the results from standardization. A
letter received from a large peachxor-
chard organization in Ohio reads:
“The advantages of standardization
is no longer a theory but an accom-
plished fact. Our selling price was
from fifteen to- fifty cents per bushel
higher than the other houses in this
district, and the greatest advantages
of a standard grade and pack will, of
course, be secured in the coming sea-
sons, provided we maintain our stand-
ards. We packed out fifty-eight cars,
and every one of our members is well
pleased and, best of all,‘determined to
begin in their own orchards atonce to
try to produce fruit of higher and bet-
ter quality. We see no point at which
the United States standard grades for
peaches are not. thoroughly practical,
and another year we will doubtless
eliminate, the old markings entirely.”

TREE PLANTING WEEK PRO-
POSED. '

 

N response to requests made by

the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion and other organizations, that the
President proclaim a. national “tree
planting week” this fall or next spring,
Secretary Wallace says the question
of how most effectively to encourage
such planting is by no means a Simple
one. “The designation of a single
week or day either in the spring or

i Z:

autumn, from a. national standpoint,
is impractical, because of the wide dis-
parity in the best planting dates in
different portions of the country. The
specialists of the department are of
the opinion that this is a matter that
can best be decided by the several
states or regions rather than torunder-
take the selection of some arbitrary
date which, while suitable for one sec-
tion, may be quite inadvisable for oth-
ers. I concur in their opinion and be—
lieve that the setting of. a national
date might result in heavy losses of
valuable trees in some sections through
untimely transplanting. The bureau
of plant industry and the forest ser-
vice- are actively encouraging such
planting work through cooperative
demonstrations in many parts of the
country, while the extension workers,
state agricultural colleges and other
public agencies ’ are
much helpful information along these
lines in most of the states. I regard
this as the more certain way of ac-
complishing the results desired, with
a minimum risk or waste of money,
energy and valuable planting mate-
rial.”

INCE publishing the announcement

0f the annual meeting place for the

been received from the secretary, Mrs.
I. R. Johnson, that the senate chamber

INTEREST IN FARM BUREAU.

 

RAY SILVER and R. F. Bower, of

the Washington office of the
American Farm Bureau/ Federation
have been in New Hampshire attend-
ing annual meetings of county farm
bureaus. They report an attendance
of over three hundred at each meet-
ing. Much inteiest in the work of the
farm burea-u- at Washington was
shown, and the legislative prog1am oi;
the Farm Bureau Federation was en-
dorsed.

TO REGISTER CO-OP. TRADE-
MARKS.

 

HE Washington office of the Amer-
ican Farm Bureau Federation is
prepared to secure the registration of
trademarks for agricultural coopera-
tive marketing associations and farm-
ers at actual,cost of the service.
The farm bureau representatives ex-
plain that the trade-mark registration
is not a contract nor a grant by the

federal government to the registrant.

It is a certificate from the commission-
er of patents showing that the regis-
trant has used the mark in commerce
and is prima facie entitled to its own-
ership. In the case of a rival concern
using the registrant’s mark the latter
can seek, and probablywithout delay,
secure an injunction against his rival,
whereas without such registration the
case would have to be rarefully proved
before the court 'would grant a re-
straining order.

An association .or farmer doing busi~
ness on a small scale may neglect to

register a trade-mark, feeling that be- 1

cause of a limited amount of business
it is not worth while. When the bus-
iness grows the trade—mark ”becomes
more important.’It sometimes happens
that a business sustains losses because
someone else registers the trade-mark.

The Inwood Fruit Growers’ Associa.
tion of West Virginia was the first to.
take advantage of the Farm Bureau
Federation’s federal trade-mark regis-
tration, service. The 'Inwood trade-
mark is known‘as the “Johnny Apple-
seed Brand," the name being» derived
trim. the historical character who

 

planted apple seeds along the old Cum. ‘

' the great interest now . being

was indicated by the large’attendance

of representative 'dairymen at mean-
‘nual conve‘nth’m of the National Milk
Producer’s’ Federation in Springfield,

When President Milo D. Campbell,

of Goldwater, Michigan, called the con-
vention" to order, nearly every seat in
' the large ball was filled. This was said
to be the best attended, the most in-
teresting and helpful meeting held by
“the federation. ' ' .

The different methods of conducting
the" business of cooperative milk sell-
ing associations \were discussed at
length, by men who are actually in the
business of handling cooperative milk.
The prevailing sentiment seemed to
favor the pooling system, but this has
not proved satisfactory in the Chicago
district, and New England has a dif-
ferent plan which undoubtedly best
meets her situation. The evidence
tended to the conclusion that there is
no hard and fast rule for the conduct
of a cooperative enterprise that will fit
conditions in all parts of the country.

H. R. Leonard, manager of the Twin

’City Milk Producers’ Association‘ re-

portedthat his association is an all-
pooling organization with 4,200 mem-
bers supplying ninety per cent of the
milk consumed in St. Paul and Minne-
apolis. Fifty directors are elected each
year by the locals, from which- five
"officers are chosen. The contracts are

GROWS OVER 300 BUSHELS OF
POTATOES PER ACRE.

 

EEING your request in the Novem-
* - ber 4 issue of the Michigan Farmer,
'to the potato growers of Michigan for
information about their potato crops
for the year 1922, I wish ‘to state the
facts of our yield.

We plowed a two-acre plot of clo-
yer-alfalfa sod for this potato field,
having first covered it with barnyard
manure. Certified Late Petoskeys were
planted on June 22 They were culti-
vated regularly; all insects, diseases
and blight were kept under control by
spraying. The tops were green until
the temperature was cold enough to
freeze water. The official report
(Michigan Potato Growers’ Associa-
tion) of the yield for the two acres
was 635 bushels. The soil of this field
is a sandy loam.-—-Irvin Cole & Sons.

HE total assets of the Federal

Land Bank of St. Paul, which
serves the Upper Peninsula of Mich-
igan, are.$75,000,000, according to Mr.
E. G. Quamme, president of the bank.
The Federal Land Bank of St. Paul,
this year, is placing loans at the rate
of $2,000,000 per month, and it is ex-
pected that the total’volume of loans
of‘ the bank will be increased $30,000,-
000 before the end of the year. "
‘ During the past few months loans
placed by this bank in Michigan have
outrankedk oronly...been second to,
loans placed in other states of the!
bank’s territory, according .to the
monthly statement of business. We
have run neck and neck with Wiscon-

. sin, says the report, while Minnesota

and North Dakota came third and
fourth. '_ '

In Michigan there are. 124 ’chartered
farm loan associations, which repre-
sents the total of all such associations
in the Upper Peninsula. Each Michi-

-~-gan association was allowed an allot-

ment of’twenty new loans, this sum-
mer, and many of them have already
completed. their, allotment. For the
coming-winter and spring, there is no
limitation‘ ‘on .the number 'of allot-
ments for this state.“ ‘

years Michigan and.Wisconsin have
been rapidly organizing, and all of
Michigan is said to be so organized,
and Wisconsin mostly so.

The great drawback to placing loans
from the Federal Land Bank in Mich‘
igan is stated by the bank’s president

to be the title and abstract system'
Prevailing in this state. Michigan has .

the poorest abstracts in the United
States, in the opinion of the bank.
There are said to be not over a dozen
abstractors in Michigan who can fur-
nish assatist‘actory an abstract as is
obtained elsewhere. We get poor tract
indexes instead of 'real abstracts, in
this state, the president avers, since
we adhere to old customs. The Fed-
eral Land Bank of St. Paul hopes that
.Michigan will adopt laws and regula-
tions which will give as good abstracts
of title as can be secured in Minne-
sota and North Dakota.

In Michigan, also, says President
Quamme, it is hard to get well equip-
ped secretary-treasurers for the local
associations. In Minnesota and North
Dakota local bankers commonly serve
in this capacity, who know how to han-
dle this buisiness for the farmers sat-
isfactorily. There are a few instances
where local bankers in, Michigan are
acting as secretary-treasurers of the
local farm loan associations and the
results are said‘to be very satisfac-
tory. PresidentHQaamme specifies in
this connection the work done by\Mr.
Howard Nadeau, of Menominee. The
bank says it the unsatisfactory condi-

.There’s‘ no lead in a

lead pencil

' OU use a pencil frequently. You call it a lead

pencil.

- l3ut it isn’t a lead pencil — for there isn’t any lead
in it.

What is called lead, in a pencil, is graphite, and
graphite is carbon.

Now think of something as familiar as your pencil,
and which really does contain lead.

Do you think of your coffee cup? Your, bathtub?
Your rubber boots? The tires on your automobile?

. Your fountain pen? .

There’s lead in all of them. The glaze of your cup
contains lead, so does \the porcelain finish Of your tub
-—there’s lead in the rubber that’s in your tires and
your rubber boots and your fountain pen.

Lead is so useful in so many ways that it gets into
a surprising number of different articles and products
that add to the comfort of civilized life.

There is one use of lead that is more important than
all the others. Wherever you may be at the instant
you read this—whether indoors or outdoors—you can
almost certainly see and touch the most important of
all lead products—paint.

see

Everywhere people are learning that a painted sur-
face is a protected surface, and that an unpainted
surface is an invitation to deterioration and decay.
“Save the surface and you save all” has become a
national slogan.

White-lead is the principal factor in good paint, and
white-lead is pure metallic lead, corroded, and mixed-
with linseed oil. Think for just one minute Of the
painted surfaces, large or small, which you look at
every day, from skyscrapers down’ to the numbers on
a freight car—and you will begin to form some idea ‘
of the vast quantities of metallic lead that are used .
in making the white-lead which enters into good paint.

White-lead gives to paint its durability and work-
ing qualities. Some manufactured paints contain
more white-lead than others—but all good paint con-
tains some white—lead. Painters generally use straight
“lead-and-oil,” which is white-lead thinned by the
addition of pure linseed Oil. They know that this kind
of paint gives satisfaction because it looks so well and
lasts so long.

National Lead Company makes white—lead of the
highest-quality, and sells it, mixed with pure linseed
oil, under the name and trademark of

quality of the sleep you get. Is your sleep sound
and restful, or is it fitful and unrefreshing?

One common cause of wakefulness at night
is over-stimulation from coffee drinking. For
coffee contains caffeine which irritates the
nerves and frequently leads to insomnia.

If you have any idea that coffee keeps you
awake at night, or makes you nervous, make
a change from coffee to delicious Postum.

‘This pure cereal beverage contains nothing
that can harm health, and its flavor is much
like coffee. In fact, many people prefer Postum
for its flavor alone.

Your grocer sells Postum in two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by the
addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages)
for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal

The two forms are equally delicious; and the cost is

LIABILITY ON MORTcAeE NOTE.

 

\

A and_l1_is wife buy a farm of B and
get a joint deed. They give a note to
B secured by a mortgage onlthe ,farm. '
B has to foreclose on mortgage, as A
and wife are not paying interest and
taxes... If the farm does not bring
enough to satisfy the mortgage, can‘ B
take other property that A and wife
own ?—~Subscriber.

The mortgagor is still liable for the
balanca of the note. The giving of the
mortgage in no way relieves from the
promise in the note to pay the. full
a1110unt.}—Rood.

FIXTURES.

 

I rented a farm with all buildings
on it. Can former tenant remove any
building from the premises? The
building, an out-door toilet, has been
built for five years. Part of the mate-
Now the
former tenant refuses pay for his share
and wishesto take the building—O. P.

The tenant who erects a fixture on
the rented premises may remove the
same in the absence of agreement to
the contrary, at any time before sur-
rendering possession of the premises
to the lessor, provided he can do so
and leave the premises in substantial-
ly the same condition ‘they were in be-
fore the fixture was erected—Rood.

 

A SHARE BASIS.

 

I rent a 140-acre farm, own all the
horses and tools, and give half. What
would you think a fair share to give
of the milk and increase where I own
the dairy cows? One owner in the
community furnishes all stock and
tools and receives two—thirds, except
in dairy cows, when the renter re—
ceives half. Two-thirds of the feed is
furnished by owner, except when buy-
ing feed, such as cottonseed meal, etc., _
then each stands half the expense.—
F. J. B.

The neighbor referred to in your let-
ter is following rental custom very
closely when he furnishes all stock
and tools and one-half of purchased-
feed, and received two-thirds of the
crop sales and one-half of the dairy
sales. It is also common in contracts
for the tenant to furnish horses, due-

. half of the dairy cattle and purchased

feed and'to share on the half basis in
both crops and live stock. The latter

» of course, is more favorable to the

farm owner. ‘ .

Somewhere between these two cases
you are furnishing, an the trust-
would be an equitable division, de-

~ pending upon the quality of the cows
' worthiness of the tenant.

, With good
cows one-half of the milk and increase
is very liberal tothe tenant.~—H. M.

' Eliot.

PROBATING ESTATE.

 

Could an estate be sold without go-

. ing through probate court 'if the heirs

quit-claim deed? Would there be any
inheritance tax to pay (value about

~ $4,000?) Father died, leaving property '

in his name. There is a wife and two

' children—M. S.

A‘deed by the heirs passes the in-
terest subject to the debts of the de-

ceased without any administration;

but buyers might not be found Willing
to accept such title. The. inheritance

‘ is taxable as income, but must be re-

ported to the United States revenue

lcollector of the district within sixty

days—Rood.

highway commissioners at the rate of
four dollars per day for each day ac-
tually and necessarily devoted by them
to the service of the‘township in the
performance of the duties of their
office. " .

Section 10 of Chapter 2 places the
expenditure of the highway improve-
ment fund under the direction of the
township board, who have the author-
ity to fix the price which may be paid
for team services. There is nothing in

~“the statute which prohibits the high--

way commissioner from using his own
team on the highway. This, in" addi-
tion to his compensation, is fixed by
the board—H. H. Partlow.

1=EED1NG LANBLORD’S STOCK...

 

Am renting sixty acres on which I
live. The owner also rents a farm of
eighty acres. The renter on the eighty
did not put out any oats. I put out
twelve acres of oats. Can the owner
take his share of the oats to other
renter’s granary to feed there? That
would leave me to feed out of my
share of grain alone. I would be feed-
ing my grain to the owner’s stock. I
have no corn on this sixty, but have
twelve acres on another farm. The
renter on the eighty put out corn. Am
I entitled to a share of their corn to
help feed the owner’s stock, or do I
have to furnish corn from my own
fiel~d?——G. L. W.

There is no connection between the
tenants of the two places. The fact
that the lessor happens to be the same
person is an immaterial circumstance.
The owner of the land has the right to
do what,he pleases with his oats; but
in the absence of. contract providing
otherwise he would have to furnish the
feed for his own stock—Rood. '

AMOUNT CONVEYED.

 

I paid for forty acres: Do I lose the
road? That is, do I get a full forty
without the road, or do they measure
from the middle of the road ?—T.. M.

_ Only the property embraced in the
description passes, be it more or less.
The recital that it is forty acres will
not entitle 'the buyer to more, nor de-
prive him of the excess. If .he bought
it‘fOr a lump. sum he can recover no
damages in the absence of ‘proof of
actual intent to defraud. If he bought
at a, price per acre, he can' recover
back the excess paid, or may be come
pelled to pay for the amount the pay-
mentsrare' short of the measured
amount. The‘purchaser of a tract of
land adjoining the highway takes to
the. edge of the grantor’s tract, though

that be to' the far side of,the highway, ,

as sometimes happens. The land un-

‘der the highway does not belong to

the public as a general rule.——Rood.

conducted this past
arm of M. E: Parme-

county The sol; was known to be '

alkaline and therefore .favorable to the .
developinent of scab on potatoes.

To teat the value of sulphur as a
contra for scab, Mr. Parmelee applied
to one plot of potatoes. flowers of sul-
phur at the rate of 300 pounds per
acre, and another plot he left untreat—
ed as a Check. Recently these plots ._
were harvested and with the aid of
County Agent Gregg a most striking
demonstration was made of the results.

The tubers from equal areas of
these two plots were sorted into fOur
grades as follows: Clean tubers,

slightly infected, medium infected, and .-_

Field and Below from the Untreated.

unsalable. The pictures, show these
piles after they were sorted.

The treated plot yielded 42.05 per
cent of clean tubers, while the untreat-
ed plot gave but 15.88‘per cent.

Of the slightly affected potatoes the
treated plot had 34:58 per cent, while
the other had 21.9 per cent.

Of the medium affected. potatoes,
the treated lot brought forth only 13.08
per cent, while the untreated plot con
tained 26.33 per cent of this grade.

The greatest difference is seen in
the unsalable pile where the treated
plot contributed 10.28 per cent and the
untreated plot‘36.89 per cent.

‘Told in the number of bushels the
story runs thus: The treated lot yield-
ed 85.83 bushels of clean potatoes;
80.40 bushels of slightly affected; 30.41
bushels of unsalable potatoes.

Compare that With the untieated
plot which yielded but 36. 98 bushels
of clean potatoes; 50. 90 of slightly af-
fected; 58. 89 of medium affected, and
85.72 bushels of unsalable.

Wintering

H EACH day sees less of daylight and

each night means/ more of frost,

and as the days grow shorter and
the nights cooler, the cattle draw
more and more toward the shelter of
the ,barn lots. They are no doubt
thinking of their winter rations and
their actions are causing us to think
likewise. alt is an important subject,
'this rationing of the herd, and is well
worthy of careful study. Our problem
differs from that of the dairyman, in
that his chief consideration is a well-
balanced ration for his cows in milk,
while our problem of first importance
. is the pr'oper de-
velopment of the
young stock.

We like to have
the calves drop-
ped in the spring
and run -Aw it 11
their dams on the
pasture their first
summer, so that
when fall comes
they are big and
lusty, and ready
to go into the box stalls and depend
largly upon the feed box and the hay
rack and thus release the drain upon
the mother. We find more time after
the fall work is done to get acguuinted
with the calves and give the young
attention necessary for
their best development. With the beef
breeder the first essential for success,
next perhaps, to the selection of the
herd bull, is the strong development
of the young stock. Here lies the im-
portant part of his winter’s job, and ‘We
will have more to say about the details
of it in the near future.

The end sought in the feeding and
management of the herd of beef breed-
ing cows is, of course, to maintain
them in such thrift and flesh as will
enable them best to give birth, to and
suckle well their
smallla use of expensive feeds as pos-
sible. It is not necessary or advisable
to feed heavily of grain or concentrat-
ed feeds.“ Neither do we believe it de-
sirable to deprive them entirely of
grain.‘ The cow that weans her calf
in the fall should be fed so as to in-
sure strong development of the new
calf which is expected to arrive in the
spring, and at the same time maintain
her own body in a thrifty, not fat, con-
dition. This will usually mean that
she should gain gradually in weight,
somewhat more than enough to ac-
count for the growth of the foetus.
There is nothing to gain and plenty to
lose by so stinting the feed that the
cows run down noticeably in flesh.
This sort of management, or misman-
agement, will result only in the neces~
sity for more lavish feeding later to
make up for the neglect, and it is al-
ways more difficult and more expen-
sive to feed up run-down cattle than to
maintain good condition. We have
found the most satisfaction and, I am
convinced the most economical, results
from a constant efiort to keep the
breeding herd in a. good, vigorous,
thrifty conditiori throughout all 'the
year.

Where good pastures are available

 

during the grazing season, and a good-1.

1y supply of cheap roughages are at
hand for the winter, the cost of grain
feeding need not be excessive. Corn
silage of good quality is one of the
best feeds to use as the principle apart
of the winter ration, and if good clever

Beef “Cull's

Last winter our, cows and the two-
year-old heifers received one bundle of
shock c01n, such as the corn binder
ties, each per day, at the evening feed,
and in addition a light feed of alfalfa
in the morning and bean pods at noon.
This ration was fed only for about
sixty days after coming off the \grass,
when corn stover took the place of the
shock corn, and although no more

 

,grain was fed the rest of the winter

the cattle came through in ideal con-
dition.

This year we have an abundance of
the coarser roughages, such as corn
stover, been pods, mixed hay, straw,
and best tops. Except for the hay
these products are practically unmar-
ketable, and the cows give admirable
assistance in working them over into
fertilizer. '

Until the calves are entirely weaned
and the cows dried off, which will be
around the first of the new year, we
will feed a small amount of shock corn
in the bundle, and if we can make the
shift without too great a difference,
we will exchange some of the mixed
hay for alfalfa. We are very partial
to alfalfa. It gives a thrift and bloom
which we do not easily secure from
any other food. We were unfortunate
in losing our stand during the. severe
weather of last winter, so if we have
it to feed this winter it will be neces-
sary to prevail upon some of the good
neighbors who have a surplus.

The tops from the sugar beet fields
we are feeding now, while the cattle
are still on the pastures, at the rate
of a bushel to each cow at a feed. They

fed in too great quantities for the best
results. Their food value closely ap-

'onie, New York These figures cover

War 7iperiod and immediately after
”When labor and materials were high,
and~ account for every expense in the
1 growing of grapes from the interest on
the investment and taxes through the
cultivation and. care of "the vineyard to
the harvesting of the crop. During
three of these six years the selling
price of the grapes was also above hor-
mal, but the high cost of production
has netted only a moderate profit on
' the venture.

The average annual cost of growing
. grapes in the.station vineyard at Fre-
donia was $85 per acre for the six-year
period. The average" cost per ton of
grapes was $30. 80 for the same period.
During these six years the vineyard
produced on the average 2.69 tons of
‘ grapes per acre, which is much above
the average for this section. The av—
erage selling price for grapes flom

this vineyard was $76 32 per ton for

the six years. This gives an aveiage
net profit of $38.90 per ton of grapes:
or $109.25 per acre for the vineyard.
“The costs and profits fluctuate
widely from year to year,” says the
station specialist, “so that a large re-
turn one season ni'ay be offset by a
much smaller profit the next year. Only.
by maintaining yields at a high level

can the grape grower hope to obtain _

a satisfactory return on his investment
and on cost of labor and materials.”

POULTRY MANURE FOR FRUIT.

 

OMETIMES I have planted‘ fruit
trees in corners of the yard or gar-
den where the soil has been in sod
and the spot difficult to cultivate. In
such case-s Ithave placed a thick ring

of poultry manure in a circle around .

the tree but not nearer than two feet
to the tree. The circle of manu1e has
been about two feet wide and at least
two inches thick. .

This manure kills out the sod and
the rains soon’ wash down the plant
food Where it is available to the tree
roots. Within a short time after ap-
plying poultry manure I have noticed
that the young fruit t1ees show signs
(if new life and rapidly develop a very
healthy green tinge to the foliage.

On poultry ranges that have to be in
. clover sod to provide green food for
' the birds, I have tried the ring of poul-
try manure- and noticed a great im-
provement in the growth and healthy
appearance of the young trees. I have
tried the manure on one tree and
omitted it from the next as a check on
the growth. The great improvement
in the manured tree has been very no-
ticeable soon after the first hard rain.-

ABou-r eAnoEri sues.

 

After the garden Crops are harvested
it often pays to 'rake up the old stalks
and burn them.‘;~This may destroy in-
sect pests and 'fungous spéres which
,. would cause losses next year. If any
weeds have developed seeds they can
also be burned.

The term “wireworm” is applied to

to them. on account of their firm tex-

Believe in Miss1onarieSPf”
Our lVeeély Sermon~By N. A. Mchme

HAVE been reading a most unusual

little book, “On the Edge of the

Primeval Forest,” (Macmillan, New

York), by Doctor Albert Schweitzer.

He is doctor, three times over; first,

a doctor of philosophy; second, doctor

of theology, and last, doctor of medi-

cine. All of which is an indication of

the breadth and sweep of his mind. In

addition, he is worthy to be a doctor

of music, for he is the foremost player

and interpreter of the great German

musician, Bach, now living. But the

real greatness of the man is revealed,

net in his brain power, though that is

great, (he became famous as an au-

thor before thirty, and his first book

was translated into several languages),

but in his attitude

toward life and

duty. When he

had made a repu-

tation as a think-

er on religious

subjects while

still comparative-

ly young, he re-

solved to become

a medical mis-

sionary. He says

that he felt that

unless he did he

would be like the priest and the levite

who passed by the wounded and dying

man, without giving him any aid. As

a result of his resolution he went in

1913 to Africa, as a medical mission-

ary. But that is not all. He went at

his own expense. Nor is that all, for

he earned most of the money with

which to finance his work, which re-

quires about three thousand dollars a

year, by his concerts on the pipe or-

gan, in Paris and London. Perhaps I

should have said that Schweitzer is an

Alsatian, but he is well known in Eng-

land, and is coming to be known in
America.

The place which he chose as a site
for work is in equatorial Africa, in a
section controlled by the French gov-
ernment. He tells of his untoward ex-
periences at first. There was no place
to practice medicine, except out of
doors. There the natives came to him
at the rate of seven or more a day.
Two thousand came the first nine
months. Later, he fixed up a chicken-
coop, so that he could work without
being in the glare of the sun. Sun-
stroke is one of the worst diseases
that the tropical dweller has to fear.
If the sun shines on the bare head for
a few minutes, it may mean high fever
and delirium, lasting perhaps for many
weeks.

FEW years ago I read an article

by a health enthusiast, who advo-
cated eating nothing cooked. He said
that if we lived the simple, natural
life, we would be perfectly free of dis-
ease and would live to a great age,
just as uncivilized tribes do. But the
experiences of missionaries in Africa.
and other lands do not corroborate any
such statements. This Doctor Schweit-
. zer says that the native African has
every disease known to his white
brother, except cancer and appendi-
citis. Strange is it indeed, for us to
be told that heart diseases are com-
mon, and insanity not uncommon.

The African negro is subject to the
most ugly sores which spread and eat
deeply, until he is in perpetual pain.
Treatment of such sometimes requires
weeks. Leprosy is common, many die
of vpleurisy and pneumonia. But the
most diiiicult and fearful of all is the
sleeping sickness. It requires two
years, often, for it to Fun its course,
' and the final state is pitiable in the

extreme, the patient sitting with his
knees drawn up to the body, and un-
113010113. The disease is calmed by

the bite of the tsetse fly.- Let' them!-
thor describe the treatment of one of
the worst forms of sores. He says:
“The sufferer must be put under an
anaesthetic and the sore carefully
scraped right down to the sound tis-
sue, during which the blood flows in
streams. It is weeks, perhaps months,
before the sore is healed, and it will
use up a case of bandages. What a
sum‘ it costs us, 'too, to feed the pa-
tient for so long. But what joy when
e—limping, indeed, for the healed
wounds l’eave the foot permanently de-
formed, but rejoicing at his freedom
from the old pain and stench—he steps
into the canoe fo1 the journey home!

HIS is what he says of a. typical

operation: “The operation is fin-
ished, and in the hardly lighted room
I watch for the sick man’s awakening.
Scarcely has he recovered conscious-
ness when he stares about him and
ejaculates \again and again, ‘I’ve no
more pain! I’ve no more pain!’ His
hand feels for mine and will not let
it go. Then I begin to tell him and
the others in the room that it is the
Lord Jesus who has told the doctor
and his wife to come to the Ogowe,
and that white people in Europe give
them the money to live here and cure
the sick negroes. Then I have to an-
swer questions as to who these white
people are, where they live, and 110w
they know that the natives sufferiso
much from sickness. The African sun
is shining through the coffee bushes
into the dark shed, but we, black and
white, sit side by side and feel that
we know the meaning of the words,
‘And all ye are brethren’.”

The incidental annoyances. and diffi-
culties are enormous. One night, ele-
phants céme and trample down the
banana crop and. ruin the season’s
work. Another time white ants in«
vade the house before they are discov—
ered, and destroy valuable boxes of
medicines. But Christian optimism tri-
umphs over everything.

HERE is much pessimism in the

world at the present time. Recent-
ly some one asked, “Is the world grow-
ing better or bitter?” Disappointment
over the results .of the peace of Ver-
sailles is very great. Economic con-
ditions are bad throughout the world.
America is in the best condition or,
probably, any nation on the globe, but
even here we are beholding great dis-
tress, in many classes of people. This
year the farmers have suffered the loss
of a market for their products. Thou—
sands of bushels of peaches, apples,
potatoes, have been unable to find buy-
ers. There is much unrest among in-
dustrial classes. In the light of these
facts it is refreshing to look into the
life of a man who has given his life
to promote brotherhood and healing
among the most opposing conditions,
and whose optimism is as bright as
the evening star. When we read a
book of this sort it makes us feel silly,
to think how we have walled over our
misfortunes, and whined over our re~
verses. It shames us into a more man-
ly attitude. It says to us, “Come,
come, stop this everlasting growling.
You don’t know what hard luck is.
Where is your Christianity? Where
is your faith in the rule of a wise God '2:

If your back is to the wall, you can ,

at least die fighting, and without

whimpering.”

So this was the reason that Rodaine
had acknowledged the value of the
mine that day in court! This was the.
reason for the mysterious offer of fifty
thousand dollars and for the later one
of nearly a quarter of a million! Ro-
daine had known; Rodaine had infor-
mation, and Rodaine had been willing
to pay to gain possession of what now
appeared to be a bonanza. But Ro-
daine had failed. And Fairchild had
won. .

Won! But suddenly he realized that
there was a blankness about it all. He
had won money, it is true. But all the
money in the world could not free him
from the taint that had been left upon
him by a coroner’s investigation, from
the hint that still remained in the rec-
ommendation of the grand jury that
the murder of Sissie Larsen be looked
into further. Nor could it remove the
stigma of the four charges against
Harry, which soon were to come to
trial, and without a bit of evidence to
combat them. Riches could do much
——but they could not aid in that par-
ticular, and somewhat sobered by the
knowledge, Fairchild turned from the
main road and on up through the
high—piled snow to the mouth of the
Blue Poppy mine.

A faint acrid odor struck his nostrils
as he ,started to descend the shaft, the
“perfume’.’ of exploded dynamite, and
it sent anew into Fail-child’s heart the
excitement and intensity of the strike.
Evidently Harry had shot the deep
hole, and now, there in the chamber,
was examining the result, which must,
by this time, give some idea of the ex-
tent of the ore and the width of the
vein. Fairchild pulled on the rope
with enthusiastic strength, while the
bucket bumped and swirled about the
shaft in descent. A moment more and
he had reached the bottom, to leap
from the carrier, light his carbide
lamp whim hung where he had left it
on the timbers, and start forward.

The odor grew heavier. Fairchild
held his light before him and looked
far ahead, wondering why he could not
see the gleam from Harry’s lamp. He
shouted. There was no answer, and
he went on.

Fifty feet! Seventy-five? Then he
stopped short with a gasp. Twisted
and torn before him were the timbers
of the tunnel, while muck and refuse
lay everywhere. A cave-in—another
cave-in—at almost the exact spot
where the one had occurred years be-
fore, shutting off the chamber from
communication with the shaft, tearing
and rending the new timbers which

had been placed there and imprisoning
Harry behind them! '

Fairchild shouted “again and again,
only gaining for his answer the ghost-
like echoes of his own voice as they
traveled to the shaft and were thrown
back again. He tore off his coat and
cap, and attacked the timbers like the
fear-maddened man he was, dragging
them by superhuman force out of the
way and clearing a path to the refuse.
Then, running along the little track,
he searched first on one side,.then the
other, until, nearly at the shaft, he

some accident, he did not know what,_
past answering his\calls, perhaps dead.’
Greater became the hole in the cave-
in; soon it was large enough to admit
his body. Seizing his carbide lamp,
Fairchild made for the opening and
crawled through, hurrying onward to-
ward the chamber where the stope be-

 

 

. THE ROOSTER

By Bob

The rooster is a lusty bird;

In all the land his voice is heard,

A proud and haughty bird by heck

Who flaps his wings and curves his
neck.

From east to west, from perch to pole,

His morning bugle echoes roll,

Arousing men firom snoring deep

And maidens from their beauty sleep.

He hunts for worms with main and
might,

And finding one, with huge delight,

To whet his harem’s appetite,

He calls his wives with trill and hum,

Then—humor

He eats it up before they Come.

Now, whether‘ Red or Plymouth Rock,

One-half is he of I: the flock,

And chickens mostly favordad

ln qualities both good and bad.

But when the hatching season’s over,

We must restrain this gallant rover,

Must shut him up in lonely state

And keep the layers celibate.

When fertile 'ones would quickly spoil.

Must segregate that old he—rooster.

came upon a miner’s pick and shovel.
With these,’ he returned to the task
before him.

Hours passed, while the sweat pour-
ed from his forehead and while his
muscles seemed to tear themselves
loose from their fastenings with the
exertion that was placed upon them.
Foot after foot, the muck was torn
away, as Fairchild, with pick and shov-
el, forced a tunnel through the great
mass of rock debris which choked the
drift. Onward—onward—at last to
make a small opening in the barricade,
and to lean close to it that he might
shout again. But still there was no
answer.

Feverish now, Fairchild worked with
all the reserve strength that was in
him. He seized great chunks of rock
that he could not even have budged
at an ordinary time and threw them
far behind him. His pick struck again
and again with a vicious, clanging rev-
erberation; the hole widened- Once
more Fairchild leaned toward it. His
breath came short from the heavy tex-
ertion and fear gripped his heart.

“Harry!” he called. “Harry ”

gan, calling Harry’s name at every
step, in vain. The shadows before him
lengthened, as the chamber gave

greater play to the range of light. Fair-
child rushed within, held high his car-
bide and looked about him. But no
crumpled form of a man lay there, no
bruised, torn human being. The place
was empty, except for the pile of stone
and refuse which had been torn away
by dynamite explosions in the hanging
Wall, where Harry evidently had shot
away the remaining refuse in a last
effort to see what lay in that direction
—stones and muck which told nothing.
On the other side—

Fairchild stared blankly. The hole
that he had made into the foot wall
had been filled with dynamite and
tamped, as though readyfor shooting.
But the charge had not been exploded.
Instead—011 the ground lay the re-
mainder of the tamping paper and a
short foot and a half of fuse, with its
fulminate of mercury cap attached,
where it had been pulled from its
berth by some great force and hastily
stamped out. And Harry—-

Harry Was gone!

Fairchiid Receives a Note.

‘ T was as though the shades of the
past had come to life again, to re‘
peat in the twentieth century a hap-
pening of the nineteenth. There. was
only one difference—no form ofa dead
man now lay against the foot wall, to
rest there more than a score of years
until it should come to light, a pile of
bones in time-shredded clothing. And
as he thought of it, Fairchild remem-
bered that the earthly remains of
“Sissie” Larsen had lain within almost
a few feet of the spot where he had
drilled the prospect hole into the foot
wall, there to discover the ore that

promised bonanza. , -
But this time there was nothing and

no 'clue to the mystery of Harry’s
disappearance. Fairchild suddenly
strengthened with an idea. Perhaps,

after all, he had been on 'the other
side of the cave-in and had hurried on
out of the mine. But in that event,
would he not have waited for his re-
turn, to tell him of the accident? Or
would he not have proceeded down to
the Sampler to bring the news if he
had not Cared to remain at the tunnel
opening? However, it was a chance,
and Fairchild took it. Once more he
crawled through the hole that he had

”made in the cave-in and sought the

outward world. Then he hurried down
Kentucky Gulch and to the Sampler.
But Harry had not been there. He
went through town, asking questions,
striving his best to shield his anxiety,
cloaking his queriesgunder the cover
of cursory remarks. Harry had not
been seen. At last, with the coming
of night, he turned toward the board
ing house, and on his arrival, Mother
Howard, sighting his white face, hur-
ried to him.

,“Have you seen Harry?” he asked.

“No—he hasn’t been here.”

It was the last chance. Clutching
fear at his heart, he told Mother'I—Iow-
ard of the happenings at the mine,
quickly, as-plainly as possible. Then
once more he went forth, to retract his
steps to the Blue Poppy, to buck the
wind and- the fine snow and the high,
piled drifts, and to go below. But the
surroundings were the same: still the
cave-in, with its small hole where he
had torn through it, still the ragged
hanginngall where Harry had fired
the last shots of dynamite in his in-
vestigations, still the trampled bit of
fuse with its cap attached. Nothing
more. Gingerly, Fairchild picked up
the cap and placed it where a chance
kick could not explode it. Then he
returned to the shaft. ,

Back into the black night, with the

“1nd you say he’s disappeared?"

spoke with some asperity. “I said that

here in the mountains anywhere, it’s
almost sure death for him unless he
can get some aid soon. I——”

But the sheriff’s eyes still remained
suspiciously narrow.

“When does his trial come up?”

“A week from tomorrow.”

“And he’s disappeared.” A slow
smile came over the other man’s lips.
“1 don’t think it will help n’mch to
start any relief expedition for him.
The thing to do is to get a picture and
a 1 general description and send it
around to the police in the various
parts of the country! That’ll be the
best way to find him!”

Fairchild’s teeth gritted, but he
could not escape the force of the ar-
gument, from the sheriff's standpoint.
For a moment there was silence, then
the miner came closer to the desk.

“Sheriff,” he said as calmly as pos-
sible, “you'have a perfect right to give
that sort of View. That’s your busi-
ness—to suspect people, However, I
happen to feel sure that my partner
would stand trial, no matter what the

that tore out the roof of the tunnel——
and I am‘sure that my partner is in-
jured, has made his way out of the
mine, and is wandering among the
hills. Will you help me to find him?”

The sheriff wheeled about in his
chair and'studied a moment. Then he
rose.

"‘Guess I will,” he announced. “It
can’t do any harm to look for him,
anyway.”

Fourth Prizeé—Mrs. S. W. 8., Ypsilanti,
Michigan. ‘

— There are four of us in our family.
My fourteen-year-old daughter and my-
self do the canning together; or, in
fact, she does the canning and I am
her assistant since she learned to can
by the cold-pack method. She is a
member of a girls’ canning club, of
which I was local leader two years
ago, when she Won the state cham—
pionship. '

For the past season’s work we start—
ed in during the holiday vacation last»
winter to can meats. We’ used a steam
cooker, a tin can sealer and the sani-
taiy enameled tin cans which I find
easier to pack than ’glass jars. Dur-
ing the winter we canned fifty quarts
of meat.

In March we canned thi1ty gallons
of maple syrup which was made on the
farm. This, of course, was heated and
putup in gallon, two- quart, one- -quart
and pint jars. During the summer sea-
son, we canned twenty~eight pints of
asparagus; eight quarts of strawber-
ries; twenty quarts of cherries; forty-
three quarts of raspberries; fifteen
quarts of huckleberries; fifteen quarts
of string beans; forty quarts of toma-
toes; six quarts of elderberries; six
quarts of pears; eight pints of plum
conserve; twenty quarts of peaches;
twenty quarts of pickles; twenty-eight
pints of corn; ten quarts of catsup;
ten cups of grape jelly, and sixteen
cups of peach jelly.

In August we purchased a seven-
teen-quart capacity pressure cooker,

an; . g Inventory

(Continued from last week). ‘ .

which we find a great improvement
over the old steam cooker, as it saves
so much time and fuel, not only for
canning but for cooking. .

This canning, 01 long distance.cook-
ing, goes a long way towaid p1 eparing
a meal, especially when guests arrive
unexpectedly.

 

Fifth Prize—Mrs. B. H. T, Holland,
Michigan.

As my garden supplied me with an
abundance of fruits and vegetables, I
have sometimes been at a loss to know
how to save as much as I could. I
canned 427 quarts of fruits and vege-
tables, although there are only four in.
my family. All was raised and taken;
care of by myself. For my vegetables
I used the cold-pack method. My
peaches, pears, grapes, cherries andl
blackcaps I used the Open—kettle meth-
Then there came a shortage of
jars, so I did not get discouraged, but
dried my corn, apples, pears, etc. The
latter is a very good idea, although
many housewives neglect to do so. 1
dry all my pumpkins I want for pies.

I am inclosing one of my most fav~
ored recipes: One peek of pears (peel-
ed and cut up); twelve. nice tart ap-
ples; a few sticks of cinnamon; sugar
to sweeten to suit the taste. Boil all
until well done and then mash. I use
my potato masher as it is less work
than to rub through a colander. Boil
"slowly for about an hour, then put into
jars. By adding the apples, it has a
nice flavor and gives it a color that is
much desired.

 

 

 

GRANULATED LIDS.

 

FIND a tendency to think of gran-

ulated lids (trachoma) as a disease
of no great importance, something af-
ter the same order as “pink-eye.” I
want to set you right about this, for
granulated lids is so serious a disease
that it is considered one of: the great
causes of blindness. It is so serious
that it is one of the diseases for which
the examining doctors always make
special search among the immigrants
who come to this country, and a fine
of $100 is assessed against the steam-
ship company that brings an immi-
grant so' afflicted to our shores.

Granulated lids is a contagious dis-
ease' transmitted by a virus that
spreads very rapidly. So when there
is one case in a neighborhood very
special care must be taken to see that
it does not spread. The chief method
of transmission is by the use of the
same wash-cloths, towels and linen.
The old-fashioned roller towel in a
school-room has been responsible for
the flareup of many an epidemic of
granulated lids. In some states the
use of the roller towel in any public
building is illegal. Parents should see
to it that a clean towel is placed in the
lunch basket of their children or oth-
erwise provided.”

The disease develops very insidious-
ly and is not easy to diagnose in its
early stages, though it can be detected
by anyone after it has gone far enough
to form granulations. A mass of sage-
like granulations.fill in the fold of the
eyelid. This limits the motion of the
lid and after a time the lid does not
respond and gives the appearance at
all times of a half-closed condition.

_ . The disease is hard to cure and. de-
mands the very best of attention. It

expert, but unless a case is very sadly
neglected indeed, it can be cured by a
doctor experienced in the work.

HEART LESION.

 

 

Does a healt lesion eve1 get well of,
itself so that the patient is just asi
well as eve1?——K. L.

Depends upon what kind of a lesion;
it is.

properly and thus make the heart give‘1

efficient service over

KIDNEY DISEASE.

 

W'hat about kidney disease in a
young child? Is it always sure to run
into Bright’s disease?——S. L. P

By no means. Children may have
acute kidney inflammation from many
different causes and if the child is kept
in‘bed on a light diet she should make
a complete recovery. Especial care
is needed to guard against chronic dis—
ease of the kidneys when it develops
in the course of an attack of diph‘
theria or scarlet fever.

 

PLEURISY.

 

I would like to know how to get rid
of pleurisy. I had a bad spell last
February and it keeps coming back. I
have a soreness across the lower part
of my chest. When it is bad I spit up
some brickdust-colored sputum.—E. S.

Chronic pléurisy alWays suggests the
possibility of tuberculosis and is cured
by the same treatment. This means
complete rest in bed in the open air,
for a prolonged period, freedom from
all ‘work and worry, and plenty of eas-
ily‘. digested nourishment. My advice

The recent railroad and miners’ strike
is estimated to have cost the farmers
in California, alone, $25,000,000.

How much has it cost you? Will
yet cost you?

N o matter who wins in a capital and
labor fight, the farmer has to pay—
and pay big.

How can these conflicts be stopped?
How can the farmer be protected from
having to foot the bill every time?

    

The Farmer fllways Gets Stung

Governor Allen, of Kansas, has devel-
oped a remedy. A number of other
prominent men have been studying all
phases of the way this industrial situa-
tion is grinding down the farmer.
What they think they tell you in
vigorous fashion in the next thirteen
iss ues of THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.
Every strike you can help prevent
puts money in your pocket. Get be-
hind this movement to abolish strikes.

Why Can’t Yen Make More Money, Too?

HarryR. O’Brien traveled 3 200 miles,
asking “dirt” farmers what makes
them the most money.

What crop is most profitable in your
locality? What enterprise? Are your
methods right?

Is it good business to take on an
additional enterprise?

O’Brien knows what will coin the

most money. He got his information
from successful farmers who have dug
through these problems and whose
proof IS their bank balance.

Read what he says—1n the next 13
issues of THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

One item, one bit of fact, may mean.
the difference next year between an3
ordinary profit and a big profit for you.

How Much Do You Pay for Liquor?

Whether or not you buy any, you’re
paying for it. Investigation shows that
90 per cent of the farmers are dry.

The farmers voted for Prohibition
because rum interferes with the suc-
cessful operation Of their farms. »

The present slipshod handling Of the
rum question is costing the farmer
money.

How can rum-running and bootleg-
ging be stopped, once and for all?

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN is pub-
lishing a remarkable series of articles
showing what is happening and what
canbedone. Includedisastirringarticle

I am foulteen years old and a soph-
om01e in high school.

I like to ride horseback better than
anything else. I have a small ho1se
and saddle. My horse’s name is Ath-
elstone—some name, isn’t it. Most
all the girls round here ride, and near-
ly every afternoon during the summe1
vacation we go riding. We like to
1ide through thick woods and play we
are westeIn girls. This summer we

went to seve1 .11 diffeient lakes and
took our lunch.

I have sixteen big white ducks which
I am going to sell this fall, and maybe
get a typewriter. I take typewriting
in school and like it the most of any-
thing else The only part I dislike to
do is selling my ducks, which are about
the best pets I ever had.

Dear Uncle Frank:

May I join the corner now? My home
has always been in Detloit until a.
yeaI ago. Then we moved six miles
f1om Lansing 011 an eighty—acre farm.

We have a beautiful lawn with twen-
ty—six maple trees in the front yard.
We have two horses, six cows, seven
head of ydung cattle, eight pigs, 200
chickens, and we have set out all
kinds of berries. _

I am thirteen years old and I am in
the eighth grade. I can play the piano
and I like to ice skate and swim. Oh!
is it not great fun to get ducked in the
water.

I have two older sisters. One is a

five years old, he really enjoys the

 

 

. farm.

Dear Uncle Frank:

Well, at last I have started this let-
ter. It seems that I never could get
started. I’ll tell you the reason why:
I always thought other boys’ and girls'
letters were very good and 1that .I
could never write as good as they can.

I am very proud of the Michigan
Farmer, and especially of the Boys’
and Girls’ Department. Every time
when I go for the mail and get the
Michigan Farmer I always read the
Boys’ and Girls’ page by the time I
get home, and I always look for the
contest for the coming week. I never
answered any. I always got them
ready and I was afraid to Send them

anything.

Now, I am doing my best to have
everything just right, (0. K. ), whether
I Win or lose.

’As this is my first letter I guess I
won’t make it Very long.

Hope I may be your pal, Theresa

S usual the .5111- reliable Readsand-
Win Contest brought a nice lot of

replies, 3. fair share of which were cor-\ get the soap off the windows the next

met, but many failed in conciseness,
or neatness of arrangement or writing.
Perhaps "a few suggestions regarding

-. how I get up these Read- and-Win Con-

tests will be interesting:

As the paper is being made up I
take the original page proofs and from
them pick the suggestions from which
I make the questions. Then I write
out’the questions to’make them as
clear as possible, the answers to the
questibns and the pages from which
I took the material. The sheet on

which I write this 'material is taken

out to the linotype man to have the
questions set up in type. The sheet
is brought back to me and I keep it
in’the desk for about ten days, when
the replies begin to come in. Then I
compare the replies with my answers
and those who have theirs nearest like
mine and have them neatly arranged
and written, are picked for the win-
here. With reference to neatness, I
know it is much easier for some to
write neatly than others, so I consider
the effort to write neatly, as well as
neatness itself. I do not want anyone
to think that he is barred from win-
ning because he can not write a good
hand.

It seems as if.some do not under-
stand the meaning of the word con-
cise. It means briefness or express-
ing much in few words. In answering
these questions, it is not necessary to
make full sentences or to repeat the
questions. Also, please write your
name on your contest sheet. If you
write a letter put it on a separate
sheet and please put your name on
that, too.

These suggestions are given for
those who have tried the contests and
‘have not been successful so far.

A HALLOWE’EN STORY.

 

0N Hallowe’en I had a very good

time. We'went to a social that
night and had a good time, but when
we got home we found the door open
and the chairs all upside down.

We straightened up the chairs and
then went to bed. We hadn’t- been
there long when we heard something
on the window. Papa got up and there

but “While we were asleep, some one

’THE MUCH SHUNNED SKUNK.

of us to think over the things
we should be thankful for. I
presume all of us have a lot of
things we are not thankful for,
and it is a common habit to think
of them more than the good
things we have. To practice
thinking of these big things
which have been helpful to us,
makes us look on the bright side
of life, and to do that helps a
lot in making a success of it.
So, to encourage this practice I
ask you this time to write on
“The Five Things I am Thankful
For.” To the ten best papers,
most neatly written, we give the
usual prizes; the first two, Mich~
igan Farmer pencil boxes; the
next three, Inickled pocket pen-
cils; and the next five, Michigan
Farmer maps of the world and
New Europe. Send your papers

rule) easier trapped than other fur-
bearers with a little protection supply
a ponstant income.

Old hollow logs, outbuildings and

cross fence hedges are favorite places,

for dens. They are often found in old
sand pits, rocky bluffs, along the high
sandy banks of small streams.

Bad meat makes a good natural bait.
Set- your traps in the narrow runs it
frequents, ‘and cover lightly with chaff
or dust. Bait with stale meat. As
skunks den up in very cold weather, a
smoker will aid greatly, as you may
then select only males and heaviest
furred fellows and not cause any suf-
fering in the traps on a cold night.

By placing two logs parallel and cov-
ering with'brush, you .may entice Mr.
Skunk to enter for the bait placed in-
side and, of, course, set in the trap,
one being placed at either end.

If you approach cautiously after the

skung is trapped its back can be brokm

en, thus preventing any unpleasant
consequences.

Contrary to belief, a skunk uses his
scent as a last means of defense.

pooling plan but are working that way,
says 0. A. Jamison, manager of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers’

, Asslociation. The association started

with a small membership fee. Later a
field man was secured. and contracts
circulated and signed, increasing brok-
erage to one-fifth of one cent per gal—
myk. At the same time
each member"signed an order for their
dealer to deduct their brokerage. This

" went well during the war, but after

the armistice, the demand fell off, the
dealers dropped the prices and refused
to deduct brokerage, hampering the
work of the association. and lowering
its income because'some of the mem-
bers refused to pay their dues. To
meet this situation, the market being
flooded with a surplus of milk, in 1921
a surplus utilizing plant was started,
and has been in successful operati
since August 8, 1921.

Recently. the members decided to
adopt the pooling plan, to be put into
operation when eighty-five per cent of
the members were signed up. The
Farm Bureau Federation is aiding the
work of getting the members to sign,
and there are now nearly enough sign-
ed to begin business of this plan. Mr.
Jamison says that in the Washington
district the biggest problem is to get
the members to realize that the price
of milk must be based upon the law
of supply and demand.

The Baltimore Distnict.

In his report of the cooperative
marketing situation in the Baltimore
district, D. G. Harry, president of the
Maryland State Dairymen’s Associa-
tion, said that Baltimore is a. fluid
market, the only milk manufactured
being the surplus at certain periods
of the year. There is some trouble
from milk ceming in from organized
territory, caused by the higher price
in Baltimore. .

' Arrangements have been made with
thirty-five dealers in Baltimore to take
their entire supply of milk from the
association, all of them giving a bond,
guaranteeing payment of the milk re-
ceived. Ninety-five per cent of the
shippers who sell their milk in Balti-
more are members of the organization.
All members receive the, same price
based on the butter-fat basis. The test-
ing. for butter-fat is done by a central
laboratory, two tests of each shipper’s

- milk being taken such month. The
dealers pay for this test.

The central laboratory is under the
supervision of a board, composed of a
representative of .the distributors, the
University of Maryland, and the pro-
ducers.

A year ago. a surplus plant was
erected to take care of the unplaced
milk, with a capacity of 8,000 gallons
a day, but so far it has not been used,
the dealers paying more at country re-
ceiving plants than» could have been
received by running the milk through
the plant- '

“Each dealer is required to file with
Dr. Clyde L. King, price arbitrator, a

monthly statement of his sales and;

receipts, and if it is found that any of
this unplaced milk is going in the bot-

tle and sold as fluid milk, 'the dealer
must at once take on. additional pro.

ducers as. regular shippers, to offset
the amount. The loss sustained by the
surplus milk that is .manufactured is
met by a brokerage fee of four-fifths
cents per gallon deducted from all the
milk which is sold/by the association.
This has not only met the loss, but
built and‘equipped the $78,000 by-prod—
uct plant, and created a fund of over

‘ $70,000.

counsellors’ board of 100 members.
Every three months this board meets
at Youngstown, Ohio. An annual meet-

ing is held, when five from the board 7

of 100 are elected by “the boys back
home” to manage the business the
coming year.

Under the surplus pool plan, the"

milk is sold in three different classes:
Milk at wholesale in bottles and cans;
cream; butter and cheese. Each buy-
er signs a buyers’ pool contract to
give a true report of his business from
month to month as to how much milk
he bought in class one, two and three,
and where he bought it.

The company does not operate as a
general pool, but in districts separated
by differentials. Producers get the av-
erage price, and buyers pay the ex-
pense.

Cincinnati Dairymen Had Troubles.

Harry Hartke, of the Tri-States Milk
Producers’ Association, supplying Cb-
cinnati, said that six years ago when
the association was formed dealers re-
fused to buy, and farmers held up the
supply for ten weeks. The organiza-
tion now has under contemplation a
plan to deliver milk direct to custom-
ers. It will undertake to operate a
moderate sized plant. To erect this
plant the members have signed thirty-
day sight notes for $20 per cow, and
the banks have agreed to give face
value for all. notes signed. Several
banks have offered liberal credit.

A HALTER IN A JIFFY.

 

T is often found necessary to make

a halter in a hurry, in cases of
emergency, to be used on cows, colts,
etc. A piece of rope, trunk cord or
strap can quickly be converted into a
halter that will help out in many a
pinch.

Tie a small loop on end of rape or

purpose as the loop. Do not make this
a. running noose, but tie it as shown
in illustrations.

To put the halter on an animal, put
end of rope with loop around animal’s

 

neck. Now push a. portion of rope
through loop (or ring), then up over
animal’s nose. By drawing on free
end of rope, the halter (fan now be
made as tight as desired. To release
halter, slacken rope \enough to allow
the nosepiece to drop from animal’s
nose, pull the lead end of rope and “the
halter immediately drops off.

nyds of agriculture. A visit to the
Internationalflrain and Hay Show‘wm
enable one to becorne familicr‘ with
the litest deveIOpments in the produce
tion of better seed, not only in Michi—
gun, but in practically every state of
the Union. '

One ‘of the valuable educational fea-
tures of the International Will be the
graphic illustrations of' the. results 03
experimental work conducted by all
of the midwest agricultural celleges

Agriculture. These exhibits are so pre-
pared that a. few moments observation
will enable the spectator to see the re-
sults of experiments and comparative
efficiency of many rations which have
been tested at the different stations
,and‘ by the United States Department
ogégriculture. Other exhibits are pre-
pared to show the latest and most
efl‘lcient methods of preventing disease
and eliminating/parasitic troubles.
,One of the attractiye features of the
stock show is the active participation
by members of boys’ and girls’ junior
live stock clubs and agricultural col-
lege students. Last year boys’ and
girls’ judging teams from twelve
states participated in the junior live
stock judging contest and over five

hundred . winners of club contests in
the various states attended the show.
The judging contest for college stud-
ents was participated in by students
from eighteen states and three prov-
inces of Canada.‘Maéhigan will be rep-
resented in both of these contests.
With the International Live Stock
Show located within the Union Stock
Yards at Chicago. which are the great-
est live stock markets in the would,"
and immediately adjacent to the im-
mense packing plants, the visitor is
afforded an opportunity tog make a
first-hand study of live stock market-
ing and the’way in which his products
are sold and how they are prepared
«for the consumer. All of-th-e packing
houses are open to visitors, with
guides to show people to points of in-
terest, during this week. The stool:
yards furnish an opportunity to study
live stock marketing 'and values first-
hand and‘provide the visitor with an

111;. accurate knowledge as to market de?

mands and how they can best be met.

The Union Stock. Yards occupy an
area of 500 acres, nearly all of which
are paved. They contain over 13,000
pens, 8, 500 of which are double—decked
and covered; twenty-five miles of wa-
tering troughs and GOO-miles of rail-
way tracks for getting stock in and
out. Separate yards are provided ’for
sheep, hogs and cattle. Sheep and hogs
are sheltered in covered sheds, Most
of them double-decked, while cattle
are yarded in open pens. These yards
have a‘ capacity of 75.000Icattle. 125,000
sheep; 300, 000 hogs and 6.00.0 horses
and mules, at one time. In thciheigh-

,‘As an entertaining feature, night
. shows are staged in the immense
arena each evening. Theseshows are
usually opened with a parade of pure-
bred draft horses, followed by exhibi-
tions with saddle horses, jumping hors-
es, driving horses, hitched single,
abreast and in ta dems, usually a
gameof pony polo, and often a dem-
onstration of handling sheep and live
stock by thoroughly trained dogs. The
driving and judging of six-horse draft
teams is also an interesting feature of
the evening shows, all of the features
being accompanied by the best musical
- talent obtainable.

Many Michigan [exhibitors will be
showing at the International this year.
Every Michigan farmer interested in
. better live stock can well afford a. trip
to this show; better still, he can af-

come acquainted with and rub shoul-
ders with fellow agriculturists from
every state of the Union.

Question.——Should a fresh cowdrink
its milk? Subscriber, Wayne County,
Mich—No, this is not proper food for
her.

Opacity of Cornea.—-—My fiveéyear-old
dog has scum covering both eyeballs
which has almost destroyed vision. D.
McC., Port Hope, Mich—Blow some
calomel into eyes once a. day.

Diarrhoea—I bought a. nine-year-old

or four months she has not thrived;
besides, she has diarrhea all the time.
I wish you would tell me what can be
done for her. R. F., HeSperia, Mich.
——Stable her, water often, give her one

gram of salol at a. dose three times a
ay.

Diseased Udder—Bloody Milk—My
three-year—old cow has one bad quarter
and she gives bloody milk. Have giv-
en her several kinds of remedies, none
of them help her. M. J. H., Casnovia,
Mich—Apply camphorated oil to ud-
der daily, give her a. dessertspoonful
of nitrate of potash in feed twice a
day. Rough milking is a common
cause of cows giving bloody milk. '

Partial Loss of Power.——Can you tell
me what~ can be done for my heifer?

covery, but soon after she was‘ bred,
acted dumpish, back arched and was
unable to raise her tail. Local veter-
inary examined her and prescribed a.
remedy, but she shows no improve-
ment. Has poor appetite, hangs head,
walks slow. L. R., Evart, Mich—One
of the bones of tail may have been
fractured, or displaced at .time of ser~
vice; if so, this would be likely to
cause paralysis of the tail. Very little
can be done for her if my suppositions
are right. Give her one dram of fluid
'extract of nux vomica and three drama
of Fowler’s solution at. a dOSe‘three
times a day. Apply hot pack to back

Weakness.—I have a cow that gave
five or six quarts of milk the day be-
fore she came fresh. After calving
she soon increased to twenty-five quarts
a day; she now gives eighteen quarts
daily, but she is getting thin, walks
slow and is seemingly weak»: When
milked she switches as if flies both-
ered her, she also cramps in hind legs.
E. J., Cornell, Mich—Your COW‘ is
weak and nervous, the ligaments of
stifle joints are weak, allowing cap to
slip out of place. Increase her grain

WHEAT

. Continuation of brisk domestic mill-
ing demand for wheat, together with
-moderate sales for export, have lifted
whea‘ prices to a new high point for
this season. Export demand shows
little change. Manitobas still have the
preference with most buyers although
clearances from the United States are
running heavy enough to clean up our
surplus if continued through the rest
of the crop years. Most of our foreign
business has been in durum, which rel-
atively is the cheapest wheat in the
world. Political uncertainties have in-
terfered with sales to Europe but de-
velopments in. Germany, Italy and Eng-

land in the last few days point to.

greater stability than heretofore.

CORN

Although export demand for corn
has practically ceased because of low
offers from the Argentine, domestic
feeding demand has been brisk and
prices for future delivery reached the
highest point. since the early spring of
1921. The south, the southwest and
the-west, from Colorado to the coast,
are buying in Iowa and Illinois and
other surplus states and outbidding the
terminal markets which also are bless-
ed with a good demand. The eastern
demand appears to be filled up for the

present.
OATS

,. Demand for oats also is broad and
it is too late to expect a big movement
from farms. The visible supply at the
terminals is steadily shrinking. Much
higher prices for this grain are to be
expected before next harvest.

' " SEEDS

. Price changes in clover and grass
seeds have been small but gains in the
llast six- weeks. have been well hold.

y left the hands of growers. Good- ..
2 recently. ~ TWO-thirds. of the“ Be

 

alfalfa seed likely to be disposed of by
growers has_already been sold.

FEEDS

Contrary to the-tone in feed grains,
the by—product feed market is slightly
easier. The output of all kinds of
feeds is heavy and shipments from
producing centers .are increasing. De-
mand is said to be limited but it is
probable that heavy offerings explain
most of the weakness. At present
prices, by—product feeds- are not out
of line with corn, and oats.

HAY

The hay market is a stable affair
with a moderate‘demand offsetting the
light shipments due to a car shortage
and stormy weather in surplus dis-'
tricts. Prices are apt to go higher
rather than lower.

9 POULTRY AND EGGS

Last August when coolers were filled
with the largest storage stock of eggs
ever known and a heavy supply was
still coming, fresh eggs sold at Chi-
cago as low as 18 cents. They have
advanced since to’55 cents, a gain of
200 per cent. The market is probably
near the upper limit but should hold
around this level for a month ~or so.
Storage eggs are working into a
stronger position as the rate of distri-
bution seems to be rapid enough to
take care of most; of the excess by the
first of the year. Poultry receipts have
increased and stocks in storage are
beginning to accumulate. Prices are
holding much better than seemed pos-
sible in view of the big increase in
production although they are lower
than two months ago.

BUTTER- .

. _ Butter prices made slight additional
gains last week and closed firm) al-
though a neryous undertone was evi-'
dent, many dealers feeling that the
market had practically reached its up-
.per limit. In spite or the reported de-
cline in consumptive demand, the rate
of disappearance at the four leading
markets in the'first half of— November
was much greater than in the cor-
responding period of last year: Pro-
duction is decreasing as shown by re«
ports to the American Creamery But-
ter Manui'acturers’ Association but re;
.ceipts have been unusually heavy
partly because delayed shipments are
now coming. Since the trend of re-‘
ceipts is apt to be downward in the
next few. weeks, present prices should
be maintained even if the demand is
checked to some extent.

Prices for 92-score fresh butter were
as follows: Chicago 491/20; New York
49c. In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs
sells for 44@46c.

APPLES

Shipments of boxed apples are run-
ning about as heavy as last year but
the supply of barrelled apples is about
four times as heavy as a. year ago.
The total supply remains liberal 'but
prices are holding firm. New York
Baldwins are quoted at $4@4.50 per
bbl; Greenings $3.50@4.50, and mid-

POTATOES . ,

Shipments'vof; potatoes have fallen
off aboutjio per cent invthe last month
but prices have not responded. De-
clines occurred on some of the ,con-
suming" markets but shipping pofit:
c e
drawback has been the lack of buying
for winter storage as a result of the
unfortunate outcome okstorage operas
tions last year. , Many of the ware-
houses have not been filled; which
points to the probability of a big ad-
vance later on. Northern whites are
quoted at 75c@$1.20 per 100 pounds
in midwestern cities. ‘

. BEANS
[ The bean' market is slightly lower,
with choice hand-picked whites quoted
at $7 f. o. b. Michigan shipping points.
Kidney beans show no change, with

~light reds at $7.75 and dark reds at.

$7.50. Producers are not selling more
freely and the weakness is due to a.
slight falling off in demand probably
traceable to the approach of inventory
time. No pronounced weakness is

probable.
. WOOL ’

The wool market is quietbut prices
are firm and the trend is upward.
Transactions have been confined most-
ly to Texas fall shorn wools which are
now moving at a; high level. There
are rumors of attempts to contract
next Springis clip in the west but. no
actual deals have been reported. For-
eign auctions show‘an upward trend.
The holdings in the hands of the Brit-
ish Australian Wool Realization Asso-
ciation on October 31 comprised 1,-

DETROIT CITY MARKET

Poultry has been active during the
past week; the receipts are large but
the consumptive demand good. But-
ter of the best quality is scarce and
firm, as also are fresh eggs. Storage
eggs are active. Potatoes and fruit
are easy because of the abundant sup-
ply. Apples are quoted at $1.50@2.50;
cabbage 50@600 per bushel; celery 20'
@300 per dozen; potatoes $1.50@1.60
per ISO-pound sack; onions $1.75@2
per loo-pound sack; poultry, live 16@
21c perpound; popcorn 4%@8c per
pound.

GRAND RAPIDS

Tons and tons ‘of poultry were
brought into Grand Rapids this-week
for the Thanksgiving tra‘de next week.
Farmers had been saving their best
fowls for this trade and as a result the
poultry run was due of the best seen
in years. The market held fairly
steadyfion fowls and springers, but was
inclined to stiffen on turkeys with the .
dealers bidding ‘34@36c per pound
early this week. TReceipts of pullet
eggs now constitute about one-quarter
of the supplies as they stillare small,
they are not as yet having much .in-
fluence on prices. Leaf lettuce was a.
little stronger. Hags were easier at.
11%c dressed, but other live stock was
steady. Beans were steady and wheat
prices now are 20 cents a bushel high-
er than ‘at harvest and threshing time.
Potatoes were dull and slow.

HE conclusions of .the committee

for economic research of Harvard
University are based on the most com-
plete statistical analysis of the busi-
ness'situationthat has yet been made
so that they deserve considerable
weight. This committee has recently
expressed the following view of the
business prospect:

“The recent decline of stock prices
has served to generate considerable
pessimism, and has led to statements
that business conditions have not im-
proved to the extent anticipated, or
that the improvement which has taken

.. place will be of a temporary and illus-

ory character. In view of the case,

such misgivings are as unjustified to- ~

day as they were last January, or even
earlier, when business first began to
emerge from the trough of the de-
pression.

“At every stage since the turning
point in 1921, pessimists have been
able to find a multitude of more or less
plausible reasons why business could
not possibly improve; nevertheless,
improvement has developed in the nat-
ural course of a normal business cycle.
Our “Index of Manufactures” has aris-
en to substantially the normal level
and the widespread unemployment
which existed a year ago has been re-
placed by an actual scarcity of labor
in many localities. These facts seem
to leaveno doubt as to the character
of the movement now under way. Our
forecast, therefore, remains unchang-
ed. We forecast an upward movement
of prices and further extension of bus-
iness activity, with the strong proba-

~bility of continuation of the upward

swing during the second half, of next
year.”

John Moody, a financial authority
whose forecasts (if the trend of busi-
ness have been remarkably close to
the mark in the past two years takes
a. different attitude as to what may
happen after the middle of next year.

Mr. Moody says that, “It seems a
foregone conclusion that the immedi—
ate future of American business is not
indicative of a boom; that reaction
from the present revival is not many
months ahead of us, and that while the
first few months of 1923 may be rela-
tively prosperous, we may run into a
period of deflation before the end of.
1923. - i

“What may reasonably happen in'
1923 in the security markets is a sharp
culmination of the recent long rise in
stock prices in the early part of the
year; a moderate strain on the money
market during the winter and spring,
followed By a pronounced ease in in-
terest rates. later on, with bond prices
holding for awhile, then sharply weak-
ening, and finally setting in for a re!
newed rise, which may be of long dur-

“The only possibility to change this
picture would be unexpectedly favor-
able developments in Europe, but
which are not in sight." ,

Mr. Moody bases his conclusion that
the present upward swing will culmi-
nate some time next year on the fact
that the American farmer, represent-
ing one-third of our population, is not
receiving an equal chance at prosper-
ity and is unlikely to receive it untili
Europe is led out of the wilderness and
foreign markets for farm products are
improved,

CONFERENCE ON GRAIN RUST.

 

EVENTY-FIVE members of the’con- .

ference for the prevention of grain.
rust, representing thirteen states in
the spring wheat belt, were present at
the second annual meeting of the or-
ganization at the University Farm, St.
Paul, on Navember 4.

The delegates from Michigan were .1.

dent of the State Farm Bureau Feder-
ation; J. A. Doelle, commissio r of
agriculture, Lansing, and We ter F.
Reddy, state leader—of the federal bar-
berry eradication forces, East Lansing.

The most important action was the
adoption, by a unanimous vote, of a,
resolution urging congress to appropri-
ate $500,000 for a continuation of the
war on the common barberry bush
next year and recommending that the
various states in the spring wheat area
participate in the campaign, in propor-
tion to the seriousness of their indi-
vidual rust problems.
