ANY Michigan fruit groWers

Views in regard to the kind of

pruning that both young and bearing

apple trees should .receive, but a great-

er number of .growers have no clear-





cut ideas." The latter group talk with

one neighbor and are convinced that





he has sound ideas until another equal-





.13' successful fruit man presents his





apparently sound reasons for adhering





to a very different pruning practice.





Even the professional horticulturists,





,and those who pose as such, present

,very different arguments.





One of the

leading farm journals carried an arti-





cle written by a rather prolific writer

several months back, which advocated

a very radical treatment of young





trees and unfortunately many Michi-





\gan orchardists had sufficient confi-





dence in the man or the journal to

adopt the “butchery-like” practices.

number of fruit growers are “at sea”

The Michigan Experiment Station is





one of the several that is conducting





experiments that should throw some

light upon several of the more import-

ant pruning problems. These experi-





,ments have not been in progress long

mation. but in the meantime careful

come ,the main scaffold branches of





the tree. This system of development





does permit the entrance of sunlight





and it results in a low-spreading tree,

making possible’economical pruning,

spraying, thinning, picking, etc., but

the trees are structurally weak and it

is not uncommon to see main branches

of bearing trees which have been

trained in such a manner split out at

.the crotch. Furthermore, such trees

are frequently more limited in bearing

capacity than those trained somewhat

differently.



The serious faults of the above sys-





The question that the average fruit

grower would like a' definite, sound

worded- differently, “should trees be

left without any pruning except that

given at planting time, until they have

established the bearing habit; should

they receive severe pruning through—

out this non-bearing period, or should

they receive some intermediate treat-

ment?



Experiments, as well as observations

tem of training young trees may be

avoided and at the same time the ad-

vantages may be retained if the so-

called leader system of development

is adopted. This system consists es-

sentially of a central leader, extending

upward to a height some six to seven

feet from the ground and with six to

nine main or scaffold branches dis-

tributed around and along the central

branch from the point of heading to

the top of the central leader.

leader is discontinued after the'desired

number of scaffold branches are _ob-

tained and the trees developed from

that point essentially the same as an

open center one. Since it is not pos-

sible to get the desired number ~nor

proper distribution "of scaffold branch-

es in one season, it is customary to

select two or: three of the scaffolds

each year until the desired number is

obtained. 'Two to four seasons are

thus required to build the framework





. of such trees.





The scaffold branches of modified

leader trees form strong crotches with

the central leader or axis which sel-

dom split. Pockets are seldom formed

in crotches to collect leaves and dirt

and eventually result in heart rot of





the trunk as sometimes happens with

{open center trees.

into bearing earlier than pruned trees

and that heavily pruned trees are old-

er before they start bearing than light-

ly pruned trees. Furthermore, unprun-

ed trees attain larger size in a given

number of years than pruned trees and

{he more severely pruned trees attain

ass in size in, say, seven or eight

years than lightly pruned ones. These

facts lead some fruit growers to con-

clude that since unpruned trees come

into. bearing earlier, that such a prac—

tice is the most profitable one to fol-

low. These growers contend that rath-

er severe pruning may be given after

the trees have the bearing habit well-

established Without interfering with

production and that this treatment Will

in the course of some three or four

years place the trees, that were not

pruned during the first few years, in

good condition.



Another group of fruit growers are

not as particular about getting early

fruit production as they are in build-

ing the. strongest and sometimes the

most ornamental kind of tree possible.

They contend that the first four‘to six

years should be devoted to the devel—

opment of a strong framework that

will support larger loads of fruit when

the tree becomes old. In other words,

they believe that heavier ”fruit produc-

tion at an age of thirty years is more

important than getting fruit on young

trees two or three years earlier.

ate between the two extremes. Unfor-

tunately, expeiiment stations did not

start work eaily enough to be able to

advise us at this time as to the best

treatment to follow. Experiments were

started at the Graham Horticultural

Experiment Station near Grand Rapids

in the spring of 1919 which will throw

considerable light on this whole ques-

tion in the course of another five or

ten years. We will soon know how

much earlier non-pruned trees come

into bearing than heavily or moder—'

ately pruned ones, but it Will be sev-

eral years before definite information

is available as to the most economical

kind of pruning in so far as results

over a period of fifteen to twenty

years are concerned.





My own opinion is that we cannot

afford to take chances on letting per-

manent trees shape themselves or in

no pruning of young trees. These

trees are expected to remain profitable

until they are sixty, eighty or more

years of age, and we should not allow

any development of branches to take

place that may result in the breaking

down of the tree or its parts previous

to the attainment of such an age. On

the other hand, I believe the practice

of severe annual pruning of trees until

they are eight or ten years of age is

less called for than that of no pruning

because fruit production is delayed

longer than the average orchardist can '

afford to delay it and there is appar-

ently nothing to be gained in contin-

even moderate,

pruning beyond the fourth or fifth

years.





It would appear that moderate prun-

ing, of young apple trees is the safest

practice to follow. It should result in

the formation of a rather strong frame-

work with scaffold branches well plac-

ed and should bring the trees into fruit

production not more than one or two

years later than no pruning. Surely

the sacrifice of one or two years is not

as important to the average fruit grow-

er as is the building of a reasonably

Strong tree. Such a pruning should

consist of rather heavy cutting back

and thinning out at planting time; a

CURRENT COMMENT





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





Our great object should be to take

the “cull” out of agriculture.



No pure form of social or domestic

life is developed except among people

engaged in productive labor.



Much pretention goes under the

name of “learning.” True intelligence

needs no pretention to assist it.





If potatoes were dollars, what a fine

lot of millionaires we would have.





Rural life develops family unity,

while city life tends to destroy it.





ONGRESS is now

’in special session





The 5.711)) at the call of Presi-

SUb37dy dent Harding fortthe

Bi" consideration of the





administration ship

subsidy bill. The President and his

aids are urging the early passage of

this bill with all the power at their

ceinmand. It is being urged as a party

measure as well as a measure for the

immediate financial relief and future

safety of the nation. But present in-

dications are that there will be a de~

tel-mined fight against the measure by

strong majority party members of both

houses from the agricultural sections

of the country, who oppose the sub-

sidy in principle.



At this writing the bill is being con»

sidered in the lower house of congress,

where it is expected to come to a. vote

before this issue reaches its readers.

Current press reports indicate that the

bill will be opposed by at least four

members of the Michigan delegation

who have the agricultural vieWpoint.

Should it pass the house, a determined

fight will be made against it in the

senate under the leadership of Senator

Capper, Chairman of the Farm Bloc.

Our readers will be kept informed as

to the progress of the fight.



The proposition involved is more or

less familiar to every well-informed

. citizen. During the war the govern-

'ment accumulated a vast amount of

shipping. Ship building was rushed

with feverish heat. The type of con-

struction was varied in accordance

with diverse and changing ideas, in:

minding both wooden and steel vessels

of all sizes and manyitypes. The re-

sult is admittedly unsatisfactory from

__ standpoint of a well-balanced and

john merchant marine for commer-

’ - gas. The cost to the government



i hardly 5 high, totaling three





 





 





 





 





war the government romid itself ‘





sorted ships, for which there was no

market and no present use. The" ship-

ping board was confronted with a dif-

ficult problem, which it tried to meet

by government operation of this mer-

chant fleet. The result was an operat-

ing loss of some sixteen million dol-

lars a month. Finally the wooden

ships were scrapped as an economy

measure and only the most fit of the

fifteen hundred steel ships were kept

in commission, with a reduction in the





operating loss of about four million





dollars per‘month. Now as a means





of getting from under this operating





loss the administration proposes a ship

subsidy to aid privately owned and op-

erated ships. Under the terms of the

bill the ships would be sold at a world

market price to private investors, who

would be given a government bounty

for their operation. In addition ship;

pers would under'the provisions of the

bill be given a rebate in federal taxes

of a fixed percentage of the freight

paid on the cargoes of these ships.





The strong urge being used to se-

cure the passage of this bill is the fu-

ture safety of the nation. But other

arguments, some of them far fetched,

are being used. Here is an example:

In a recent address at Chicago, Chair-

man Lasker, of the shipping board,

compared the subsidy to the tariff, as-

serting that it was parallel in princi-

ple. But his illustration of the point

was most unfortunately chosen, in that

he compared it with the tariff on wheat

and corn as a protection to the farm-

ers. Unfortunately the tariff does not

work that way, since the price obtain-

able for the surplus of these products

in the world market fixes the'price on

the whole crop, less the cost of exces-

sive transportation rates. The ship

subsidy would not reduce these rates.

There is little certainty that it would

aceomplish the results claimed for it.

It is another experiment in the realm

of special privilege, which we do not

believe the farmers and common peo-

ple of this country look upon with

favor.





In his subsidy message the Presi-

dent mentioned the legislation contem-

plated for the relief of the farmers of

the country. We believe that practical

relief could be given to the farmers

of the country by lowering the freight

rate to seaboard of foodstuffs for ex-

port. This would tend to restore the

parity between the price of farm prod-

ucts and general commodities and the

purchasing power of the farmer’s dol-

lar. And it would not be in the nature

of a special privilege. It would do if

him only in a measure what the tarfi

now does for the manufacturer. This

idea would no doubt be considered im-

practical by' the advocates of the ship

subsidy bill. But there seems small

reason to believe that the ship subsidy

is either more practical or more fair.

Certainly an insurance of adequate

production of staple foodstuffs, even 'in

adverse years is of greater importance

to the safety of the nation than is the

maintenance of subsidized facilities

for their transportation.





HE bold program



laid down last

summer by President

Friday, of the Michi-

gan Agricultural Col-

-1ege, has attracted na-

tion-wide attention. 'Last week Presi-

dent Friday addressed members of the

staff of the United States Department





Getting the

Most

of Agriculture at Washington in re!





sponse to an invitation by Secretary

Wallace.



He outlined details of his program

to develop the agricultural resources

of Michigan through/emphasizing the

value of such crops as alfalfa and the

necessity of ridding farms of inferior

live stockfa’s well as developing’loc’al





possession of this vast fleet of ill-ae-





These matters attracted

tion of the secrotary of tzricnlture

during his recent tour through Michi-

gan when he had opportunity to hear

at first hand the program laid down

“by President Friday. Such a program

however, could not be carried out un-

der all conditions of rural develop-

ment.





The high degree of cooperation be-

tween the various agricultural agen-

cies in Michigan make possible the

realization, in part, at least, of this

venture by President Friday. No

deubt, however, the results will be

more or less spotted. Those commu-

nities which take active, part in this

program through prophetic leadership

and with effective cooperative machin:

ery will profit for more than will the

unorganized or less aggressive sec-

tions. In other words, the degree to

which our farmers go after the fruits

of this scheme will measure the ad-

vantages that they, individually and

collectively, will receive.





E all know too





. well that tim-

Tazlng her-producing trees

t e are becoming scarce,

Wood while the demand for





the products of the

forest is gradually increasing. There

is a high degree of uncertainty about

the future of the lumbering business

and no adequate program has been

formulated in this state or country to

care for coming demands.





This week a conference of those

whose interest, or duty, lead them to

give consideration to the forest situa-

tion will be held at Lansing. Ways

and means of protecting coming gen-

erations from a forest famine are to

be examined from every angle.



It is presumed that a little legisla

tion will be, needed to inaugurate a

state-wide scheme for forestry devel

opment. In this connection, two ques

tions seem uppermost. One is the

proper protection of forest lands from





’firevand the other is the relief of tim-





ber-producing acreage from the annual

tax burden. If this long-term crop can

be required to pay tax only at harvest

time a great stimulus will be given

to the production of timber on a large

scale as well as in the farm wood-lot.

URING the past





On few years much

. attention has be en

Ch’ld given to child labor,

Labor and rightly so, for the





conditions under

which many children have been work-

ing have been entirely detrimental to

their well-being.



These conditions existed almost eli-

tirely under city conditions and out-

side ofv the influence of the family.

They have virtually made children

slaves and have destroyed their mural

and physical fiber. Legislation has

remedied these evils, but it has not

remedied the evils of child idleness

from which many city children suffer.

To many students, this latter is of

greater importance than the former

was. The idle mind is very suscepti-

ble to evil influences.





Labor under wholesome conditions

is necessary to the well-rounded de-

velopment of the child. In this respect

the young people on the farm are in a

very fortunate position. Their con-

structive labor is done in Cooperation

with their parents who have their wel-

fare at heart more than anyone else.

The work they do is healthful, whole-i

some and instructive. ”Even their idle

moments are most usually engaged in

playing with pets or in . some other

wholesome diversion.

gan, and friends, will

entertaining program at their annual

meeting held in.the senate chamber of

the Capitol Building at Lansing. The

copy of the program reached us too

late for publication.



A few of the many splendid numbers

in this varied program may be sug-

gested here. For instance, Professor

Henderson, of the University of Mich-

igan, will speak on “The Signs of a

New World.” Professor Tenant, of M.

A. 0., handles marketing problems. A

number of talks on ‘juvenile work will

be presented,.among these, “Boy and

Girl Life in the Open County,” by Mr.

Turner, our state club leader. Dr.

Diehl, of Albion College, is well fitted

to speak on “Spiritual Values in Coun-

try Life.” The eighteenth amendment,

could have no stronger defender than

Congressman-elect , Grant Hudson,

while rural education will be present-

ed by Superintendent of Rural Educa-

tion, Professor Otwell, of Lansing. The

remaining good things in this program

will be thoroughly enjoyed and appre-

ciated by all who attend the annual

meeting on December 5-6. .

AMBISHUN is what makes the dif-

ference between man and other

animals. It’s what makes man better

than a monkey, but because he’s got

it, man often does better than the

monkey does in making a monkey of

himself;



For inst., Jasper Watkins smokes

and wears a celluloid collar at the

same time. Now, no man what got

sense would do that, ’cause fire insur-

ance companies won’t insure a man’s

life when he, does those two things

together. Now, a

monkey wouldn’t

think a doin’

either one, togeth-

er or separate.



If it wasn’t for

ambishun, Sophie

and me and the

kids would be

roostin’ in trees,

, with pickin’ fleas

as our principle recreashun. But spas-

in’ I had no ambishun at all, which is

purty near what‘I and lots at other

folks’s got, me and my fambly couldn't

live in trees, ’cause our what you call

fourfathers was amblshus. We would

be arrested for followin’ our natural

inclinashuns, ’cause we are livin’ on

what their ambishuns did for us.



' Ambishun is what made civilizashun,

and civilizashun is What made work.

The more civilizashun the more work,

and the more work, the more civiliza-

shun. That’s why I ain’t so civilized

as some folks.



It’s ambishun what made Joe Hunter

run for constable. But he musta’ been

short-winded, ’cause he run quite a

little behind the other feliow. Anyhow,

Joe still thinks he’d make a mighty

good governor. And bein’ that Joe is

him to prove it some day.

ECENT years have seen some val-

uahlge developments in poultry.

‘“ — science. The art of culling has

reached a stage of perfection which

is remarkable to say the- least. Im-

. prove'ments haVe also been made along

the lines of feeding and housing, all of

which has contributed toward de-

creased cost of production and increas-

ed returns until poultry husbandry has

been placed among our mostpromis-

ing agricultural pursuits. Since this

industry has attained such an econom-

ic importance the necessity of protect-

ing it from all undermining forces

should be evident. Looking over the

field of poultry husbandry with this

? point in view it appears that one of

- the most essential factors governing

its stability, namely prevention of dis-

ease, is being overlooked or even ig-

nored. There can be nc‘r question as

to the comparative production value

of a healthy\and‘a diseased flock. In

the report of the secretary of agri-

culture for 1915 we find that financial

losses due to diseases in poultry

amounted to $8,750,000. Thus disease

prevention is of ‘vital importance to

the poultry breeder.



His interest in this matter is also

shared by others. The swine breeders

are interested in the eradication of

avian tuberculosis because of the, fact

that a considerable number of hogs

which go through the packing plants

are condemned as unfit for

Consumption, due to this disease. As

a‘general rule the public is desirous

of eliminating disease fromfood-pro-

ducing animals. Poultry products are

not yet subject to the strict ordinances

that govern the sale of milk, pork,

mutton or beef, but it is very possible

that they will be included sooner or

later. Chickens marketed for food are

frequently found to be diseased and

there may be some doubt as to the

advisability of consuming products

from diseased birds, evenif there are

no immediate outward manifestations

of damage to health.



In earlier .days animal disease was

not considered to be of any serious

consequence. Almost all efforts to

alleviate suffering were limited to the

human species. Today we see to it

that all kinds of domesticated animals

receive medical attention. _The meth-

ods of dealing with diseases have





changed. While in former years the





chief aim of the medical man was to

cure the sick, the tendency is now to

prevent and eradicate disease. Due to





their high value some domesticated





animals will perhaps always be treated

individually. In poultry this will be





,the case only exceptionally. No great





amount of success has been derived

\





Every modern poultry breeder is and

should be anxious to obtain and main-

tain stock of high quality. For this





'reason he is often led to buy adu’lt





birds day-old chicks or eggs for hatch-

ing from flocks that have gained a

wide reputation either as exception-

ally good layers or excellent show

birds without seeking the slightest in-

formation as to whether or not the

flocks concerned are free from com-

municable diseases. This is a serious

diseases and the cost of application

will often exceed the value of the bird.

Thus the poultryman is not so much

concerned with ailments tending to

affect the individual as he is with such

diseases as may affect the flock as a.

whole. It is therefore nutritional and





communciable diseases that should re--





ceive the main portion of our atten-

tion. Heredity‘and environmental con-

ditions may contribute to health or

disease. Thus we find that in dealing

with poultry hygiene we must consid-

er, first: Selection of healthy stock;

second, housing; third, feeding, and

fourth the prevention and control of

communicable diseases.





diseased flocks are quite certain to

bring the infection with them, even if

they are apparently well at the time of

the purchase. In this way a formerly

healthy flock may become diseased and

no poultryman can do his best unless

his flock is in good health.



,Through the science of bacteriology

we have learned that certain communi-

cable diseases are so insidious in their

nature that symptoms are not revealed

for relatively long periods of time. It

has also been found that individuals

which have recovered from an infec-

tious disease may continue to carry

the causative organism. Infectious or-

ganisms may, furthermore, be carried

by individuals which never have been

from this disease.





visibly ill and may prove to be immune

to the disease to which they have been

exposed. Such individuals are often‘

the cause of considerable trouble, due

to the fact that they appear perfectly

harmless and thus make it exceedingly

difficult to discover and eliminate the

source of infection. For these reasons

it should be evident that mere inspec-

tion or physical examination will not

reveal all that might be of importance

to know regarding health. Therefore,

besides showing signs of productivity,

vigor and vitality the flock from which

new stock is to be introduced should.

have a. clear record as regards freedom

from disease.



In this connection it may also be

well to compare the adult bird, the

day-01d chick and egg as means





.through which infection might be in-





troduced. ,



Adult birds may, without showing

any signs of illness, carry the causa-

tive organism of the following com-

municable diseases: Bacillary white

diarrhea, chickenpox, tuberculosis,

fowl cholera, fowl typhoid, blackhead,

coccidiosis, apoplectiform septicemia,

fowl plague, and perhaps still others,

besides various internal and external

parasites.



The day-old chick is perhaps the

most common means of spreading bac-

illary white diarrhea. As to whether

or not other “diseases are spread

through the day-old chick but little is

known. It appears, however, from in-

formation available at this time that

the day—old chick may be considered a

negligible factor in the dissemination

of other diseases than bacillary White

diarrhea.



Eggs bought for hatching may har-

bor the cause of bacillary white diarr-

hea. Shell contaminationx does not

seem to be of any great importance

as far as most diseases are concerned.

It has been suggested that blackhead

may be spread in this way.



As bacillary white diarrhea infection

is easily discovered in breeding stock

by means of the agglutination test it

seems rather unnecessary that great

losses should occur year after year

five years alfalfa. ‘



The plan is to build up the soil by

the growing of alfalfa. They will take

off only alfalfa‘r seed and potatoes.





When potatoes are planted commer-





cial fertilizers will be used.





This season June grass and some

L. L. Drake, county agricultural

agent for Antrim and Kalkaska coun-

ties, is a graduate of the Michigan Ag—

ricultural College’. He is supervisor

of county agents i~11 the potato counties

of the state, having been chosen by

"them as their chairman at a county

agents’ conference in 1921. His selec-

tion was due to the record he had

made with the potato seed of his coun-

ty. For two years Mr. Drake was

county agent of Antrim county, ‘fol—

lowing the resignation of W. C‘. Cribbs,

who ‘resigned to enter the department

of markets at the Michigan Agricul-

tural College.



Before taking up county agent work

Mr. Drake was superintendent of the

T1ave1 se City State Hospital Farm for

two years. His outstanding work in

Antrim county has been the develop-

ment of markets for certified potato

seed grown under his direction. He

sold a car of Rural Russets to the ex-

tension department of Pennsylvania.

These were potatoes grown by Antrim

county growers in 1919 and were not

certified, but were field inspected, for

at that time Michigan had not yet tak-



“ en on the work of certification of po-



tatoes. .



This car of Russets was planted in



118 test plots with seed from four of



the leading potato , states that were



certifying their seed and the Antrim

seed from Michigan won first place in



116 out of the 118 tests.





The following year Mr. Drake assist-

' ed the Antrim county farmers in sell-

ing eighteen cars of ceitified seed in

Pennsylvania and last year they sold

fo1ty- two cars in that state at eighty

cents pei bushel above the price paid

for table stock potatoes. There were

over fifty cars of certified seed produc-

ed in Antrim county in 1921 and the

balance .not sold in Pennsylvania was

used to plant the 1922 crop Within the

county.



The potatoes sold in Pennsylvania

and planted there last spring have held

their place in out-producing seed from

other states.



W. C. Cribbs was engaged in fruit

raisingv in Berrien county until Janu-

ary 1, 1918, at which time he became



,county agricultural agent for Antrim

county. Potato work was the large

problem for that county. After some

investigation he recommended the

standardization of the Petoskey Rural

Russet for the lower peninsula of

Michigan, he being the first person on

record to suggest a single variety for

this section. In less than two years

around eighty-five per cent of all po-

tatoes grown in the comme1cial sec«

tiOns of the state we1e of the Russet

variety. Hale Tennant and Mr. Cribbs,

with the help of the other county



. agents in their counties, organized the

Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange.





Before the first of July, 1918, Mr.

‘ Ciibbs organized a potato marketing

association in every town in Antrim

county and then was asked by the

state to help in other counties. He

,' worked with eleven other agents in

their respective counties during the

balance of the summer.



That fall the potato inspection work,

which eventually led to the ce1tifica-

tion of potato seed, was stated. Mr.

Cribbs with Mr. Waid, of the Michigan

'>--Agricultural College, inspected many

acres within the county and found

fields free from disease which produc4

MICHIGAN BOYS WINUIN IOWA.





 





HRE'E horticultural students rep-

place in an apple-judging contest. at

Council Bluffs, Iowa, last week. Mem-

bers of the team were Cyrus A. Boyer,

of Bangor, who ranked third amongin-

divid-uals; Clair S. Waltman, of Ionia,

fifth, and Don L. Lacy, I of Lansing,

sixth. The contest was won by the

University of Missouri, Which was only

a few points in the lead of the M. A. C.

team. Other institutions entered were

Iowa State, the University of Wiscon-

sin, and the University of Nebraska.

Funds to defray the expenses of the

ed by the horticultural club, members

of which marketed part of the apple

crop from the college orchards, bought

and sold fifty barrels of apples produc-

ed in Berrien county, and sold cider at

football games and other events this

fall.

which defeated the Michigan men was

NEED BETTER MARKETING.





 





CONOMIC problems were in, the

forefront at the thirty-sixth annual

convention of the Association of Land

Grant Colleges at the Willard Hotel,





while in school‘





 





and other farm commodities. In the

reorganization plans the department of

agriculture has made a scientific and

recording department which reports

the situation in every section. Dean

A. A. Potter, of Purdue University, in





his address as president, said there is





a' tendency to stress certain subjects

too hard. He urged a more scientific

study of all problems in our attempts

to solve the agricultural situation. Dr.

Stevenson, the American representa-

tive at the International Institute in

Rome, pointed out that all the Euro-





pean nations are taking steps to make“





their countries self-sustaining in agri-

culture, which if successful would very

largely reduce our export trade in farm

products.





 





HOWARD ON THE FARM SITUA-

TION.





 





N an address before the Land Grant



College Convention, President James

R. Howard, of the American Farm Bu-

reau Federation, said that when he

left his Chicago ofl‘ice, he was told that

the probability was that the price level

reports for September would show the

farm prices to be one point above 1921,

while the other commodities on the

list would show an advance of twenty-‘

five points above. “If this advance tip

materializes,” he said, “it will indicate

in a graphic way, that the distress of

the farmer is greater today than a

year ago, because the farmer must buy

largely of other commodities.”



If any criticism were due the land

grant colleges, Mr. Howard thought it

would be that the policies of these in-

stitutions have been directed too much

along the line of increased production

and more efficient production, and too

little in the forecasting of future needs

from present conditions.

ITH three cooperative market-

ing associations ranking among





the best in.- the state, as an ex-‘





ample, the potato growers of Charle-

voix county are finding that coopera-

tipn spells success.





This ‘last spring through a series of;





meetings, propaganda was spread ad-

vertising " the merits of home-made

Bordeaux appliedat a pressure of 175

to 220 pounds. The arguments present-

ed in the case were such that many of

the potato growers in the county were

quite readily convinced. The next

problem to be solVed was that of. pur-

chasing one of these machines which





,. would apply this home-made Bordeaux





at the reguired pressure. ,As coopera-

stration, the‘spray‘ check was very





visible as far as one could see the





field. Blight did‘hot seem to be a ser:

ious menace ,this year in Charlevoix

county and the results obtained are

almost entirely due to the control of

“Hopperburn.” _



An accompanying picture is of Mr.

Bert Lumley, of Boyne City, Who con-

ducted one of the spraying demonstra-

tions. Mr. Lumley was a partner in

one of these spray rings, and being

somewhat of an experimental tempera-

ment, was very willing to leave a strip

of four rows through his field which

only received the arsenical spray for

bugs. The following results were ob-

tained by digging the two inside rows

tion is advocated by most every coun-

ty agent as a panacea for farming ills,

it immediately presented itself as per-

haps a possible solution for this

problem.



Following a little investigation from

outside communities and states, it was

learned that a few cooperative spray





_ rings had been organized and operated





«successfully. Consequently, the Penn-

sylvania plan was adopted and several

spray rings were organized.



The cooperative marketing associa-



tions in this county, like,those in sev-

eral other counties, purchased spray-

ers cooperatively from the potato

growers’ exchange. As the effect of.

cooperation was so vivid and so in-

tensely pronounced in this transac-

tion, the individual farmers themselves

took it up, and as a result organized

themselves into these spray rings and

secured the services of an efficient

sprayer at a minimum cost. There

were two main types of sprayers in-

volved in these transactions, namely,

the engine type, and the traction type.

The traction type seemed to enjoy the

greater popularity, perhaps due to its

necessitating a smaller financial in!

vestment. _

‘ The result of these spray rings have

been many and varied. Neighbors

have learned to work together and in

many cases learned the advantage of

a prearranged program ,of work. Three

or, four farmers used the same spray-

er, making it necessary that they plan

together and arrange their work so

they would not all be wanting the

sprayer at the ‘same time. This result

was extremely beneficial as it perhaps

might be considered an A B C lesson

in community cooperation. ,



Accompanying the spray ring work

were several spraying demonstrations.

Each demonstration consisted of leav-

ing a check of about four rows through

the center of the field—which would

not receive the Bordeaux. These four

rows were sprayed only with arsenical

poison, for bugs. Aside from this all





1 cultural methods were the same dur—





in entire SQflSOD-; It is very in-

to ”note that in every demon-





of the check unsprayed and two rows

at the side .of the check 'Which were

sprayed:



Unsprayed potatoes, 217.8 bushels

per acre; sprayed potatoes, 290.4.



This shows a gain of 72.6 bushels

per acre for the sprayed lot. The low-

est increased yield due to high pres-

sure "was 23.26 bushels per acre. How-

ever, the average for eight demonstra-

tions was approximately forty-three

bushels per acre.





Many farmers in Charlevoix county

not producing certified seed are using

the high pressure sprayer on their

fields of common table stock. They

realize that in order to produce good

tubers there must be a rank, vigorous,

healthy top growth.



Charlevoix county farmers are more

than satisfied and convinced that it is

due to the high pressure sprayer and

homemade Bordeaux that-this year,

when potatoes are almost worthless,

a failure was avoided and a loss turn-

ed into a profit.





 





GERMANY USES AMERICAN

GRAFTING STOCK.





 





N the past it has been the custom



for American nurserymen to use

French, Belgian and other European-

grown stocks to grow their fruit trees

and vines on. But it seems now that

the tide has turned and Germany has

started the use of American grape

stocks for their grapes.





On native stocks the German grapes

have considerable trouble with phyl-

loxera, a tiny louse which feeds on the

roots of the grape vine. Horticultural

experimenters in Germany have found

that this louse does not like American

grape roots “and by grafting native va-

rieties on these roots they believe the 1

German grape industry will be savedi

millions of marks. Many of the ”old;

grape vineyards are being uprooted?

and replanted to the new American?

rooted stocks. The fruit of the Ameri-{





can grape is not popular in Germany‘_





as most of their varietiesare used for

wine-making purposes.

cmcx-enub‘e ON SHEEP.





, I am going to keep my sheep in an

old hen coop this winter. Will chicken

lice stay on sheep, if they will, what

should I use to remove them ?--H. W.





I never heard of chlcken‘lice bother-

ing sheep, but they will infest many

other animals. But there is no use in

taking any risk The old saying. “An

ounce of prevention is worth a. pound

of cure,”.will apply here. If there are

any lice in the hen house, clean them

out before putting the sheep in.



Spray the interior thoroughly with

any coal tar disinfectant (any good

.sheep dip). Mix about a. teacup of

I disinfectant to a. pail of water. With

la hand air-pressure sprayer it is only

a. matter of an hour or two to spray

the building and the expensefwlll be

very light. Then you will have no lice

to get‘on the sheep.





 





APPLYING MANURE Ami LIME 'r

ALFALFA. '





 





We seeded at small field to alfalfa

the latter part of August, and there

are places where it does not grow well.

Would it injure the alfalfa to mix

ground limestone with manure and

spread it. on after the ground freezes.

There was 550 pounds of hydrated

lime applied to the acre about three

or four weeks before seeding. W111

soy-beans take the place of bran or

mlddlings as a ration for pigs or cows?

What is the method of inoculating

them?——C. F.





It will not only not be injurious but

very beneficial to top-dress new seed-

ling alfalfa, or any other crop with

Don’t

use hydrated or caustic lime with ma-

lnure as the lime will tend to set free



some of the nitrogen in the manure.

{Ground limestone will be just as ben-

- eficial and will cause no loss.



' Soy-beans will more than take the

. place of bran and middlings. Soy-bean

' meal or soy-bean oil cake will take the

place of cottonseed meal or linseed

meal in a ration. “ In other words, soy-

,vbean meal is as rich in protein as

: either cottonseed meal or oil meal.



There are several ways of inoculat-

*lng any legume seed. 1, send to the





‘ experiment station and get culture, ap-





This is the

simplest way. 2, get some soil from

Cultivate it in.





 





A MILK SUBSTITUTE.





 





I have twenty-two fall pigs and I





[have no milk, only what I buy, and

that is half water.





How would tank-

age go and how much should I feed to





,each one hundred pounds of weight





of pigs? Please tell me Where I can





' buy it and its probable price—A. H.





Your pig problem is exactly like

mine, so I ‘know of no better way to





; answer it than to tell you how I am

3 doing.





I have just weaned a bunch

pigs and am feeding a thick slop of

ground oats and barley, equal parts,

with about ten per cent of oil meal





‘ added. Besides thls’slop they get all

f the ear corn they will, clean up twice

' daily. If I can find good skim-milk at

‘ a price not to exceed thi’rty cents per

I like it best for goodsslzéd sheets on

dealers dislike to carry it in stock on

account of its objectionable odor, so

it has usually been necessary to ship

from one of the Clficago packing hous-

es by local freight. I understand, how-

ever, that the Detroit Packing Com-

pany is now putting out a. good grade

of feeding tankage at around $50 per

ton—Pope.





 





SALE OF HOM ESTEAD.





 





A man- disposed of a farm in Michi-

gan without his wife’s signature. Can

the wife reclaim her share of the

farm? If so, what portion is she en-

titled to‘? Does the law compel a man

to notify his wife, or to have his law-

yers notify her, if he applies for a

divorce?—A. B.



If the land was their homestead the

conveyance is merely void. If not, she

still has her possible dower rights in

it. Divorce without notice to the other

spouse, either in person or by publi-

cation pursuant to the order of the

court and as permitted by statute is

void. If she can Show that he knew of

her whereabouts and that she was not

notified, the decree of divorce will be

set aside if obtained by mere publi-

cation—Rood.





 





PILES IN PIGS.





 





Can you tell me the reason that my

five-menth-old pigs have piles? What

can be done for themf—C. R.





Protruding rectum or piles in pigs ,





is commonly caused by excess abdom-

inal or excess fullness of feed, result-

ing in swelling of mucus membranes

of rectum. Most cases can be hand-

led successfully by washing parts af-

fected with a two to five per cent so-

lution of alum water when] prolapse

first appears. If parts are injured,

surgical methods may be necessary,

and had best be done by a veterinary

surgeon. Keep animal on \light laxa-

tive diet for a few days.-—-P0pe.





TENANTVSI RIGHT TO STRAW.





 





A rented a. farm of a widow on

shares. A received two-thirds of all

crops grown on the farm. The woman

died and A left the farm when his

lease expired. The heirs and admin-

istrator said he could not take the

straw from the farm. Can A take his

shasrev‘of the straw from the farm?—





Unless the surrender of the farm

manifested an abandonment of the

straw the tenant Is entitled to take it.

—Rood.





CARE OF PARENTS;





 





-I am taking care of my mother and

father. They have a piece of prop-

erty and want me to have same when

they are gone. So they “deeded the

property to me. Isn’t there a printed

form for such a lease? How should

it read? IS it necessary to give back

quit-claim deed ?—Reader.



This is a very hard situation to deal

with. Old persons 'become irritable





and sometimes suspicious, and no pro-





vision can be made in such a deed to .





prevent the care-taker wishing the old

people dead. The most satisfactory

arrangement is to contract to pay so

much per week for the keep, payable

on death of person kept. A deed giv-

en by the old people containing a

clauSe empow‘verlng them to revoke it





“whenever they please, and appoint it





to some one: else is satisfactory pro-

tection so far ‘as they are concerned,

but gives little security to the care-

taker. ‘Thls .is not an instrument for





the dub to drafts—Rood. ~ ;

By J.

ANY farmers today like to ship

M their poultry to market instead

‘ of selling it to the poultry buyer

in‘their own town. ’ .

The buying public, in all the larger

cities, especially, grow more discrim-

inating every year, or at least they be-

come more particular, and any poultry

offered for sale must be nearly perfect

in dressing and conformity. ‘

As a general rule home-dressed poul-

try does not sell as well as city dress-

ed, for the reason that the scalding is

imperfectly done and the chickens

have 3. spotted appearance which hurts

their sale. The retail dealer, there-





' fore, wants to buy them at‘a discount





of two to five cents per pound as com-

pared With city-dressed stock.



In shipping dressed poultry see that

it is thoroughly cooled before shipping

and \wrap the head of each bird in a

piece of paper to prevent any blood

from dripping on the other chickens.

Pack in barrels or boxes and ship by

express or truck.



In shipping live poultryythe follow-

ing precautions should be observed:



Do not ship any culls, thin stock, or

diseased chickens. They are not sal-

able and you only pay express use.

lessly.



If you are shipping enough stock to

do so, grade your poultry when put-

ting it in coops for shipment. Heavy

springers in one coop. Heavy hens in

another, and light stock by themselves.

Do not crowd too many birds in a.

coop. One dead chicken pays the ex-

press on another coop.





In warm weather especially, many

coopsarrive at market with.two to

five dead in each coop because the

shipper has crowded too many in a

coop.



Always weigh and count your poul-

try when you ship. Do not guess at

either the weight or number. If you

have to make a. claim against the ex-

press company or you have a dispute

with your commission man, the num-

ber and weight are very essential to

a satisfactory settlement in either

case.



Ship early in the week. The markets

in the big cities are practically over

by Thursday noon and unless there is

a short supply, Friday is bargain hunt-

er’s day.



Shrinkage is a big factor in shipping

and should be taken into consideration

when deciding whether to sell at home

or ship to the nearest big market. The

average shrinkage on chickens is from

five per cent on aged stock up to ten

per cent on young chickens. If you





feed heavily before shipping, the

shrinkage will only be that much

heavier.





Turkeys shrink from ten to fifteen

per cent and ducks shrink the most.

The shrinkage on these seldom runs

less than fifteen per cent. The most

p0pular breeds of chickens are Ply-

mouth and Barred Rocks and Rhode

Island Reds. These, if in good condi-

tion, always command the best prices.

Leghorns, _Black Minorcas, Anconas,

and other under-sized breeds are not

wanted except at a marked reduction

in prices, generally two to five cents

per pound under the first mentioned

breeds.



-If they can be obtained, one trip

coops are the most desirable to ship

in. They weigh about twelve pounds.

Slat coops weigh thirty-five to forty

pounds. At the present express rates,

it costs twenty-five to thirty cents

, more to ship 'a slat coop than a light

one and you then have to pay twenty

cents for the return and you do not

always get it returned. '



In shipping for any holiday market,

ship early. Prices are more likely to

be lower the day before a holiday as

every one is filled up by that time.

TRY EPSOM SALTS.





PSOM salts are a cheap remedy to

keep on hand to help in toning up

a poultry flock that has had access to

spoiled feed. The occasional use of

the salts is, a help in reducing losses

from sour crop or indigestion due to

overfeeding. A hen that has been crop

bound is benefited by epsom salts.

The usual dose is half a, teaspoonful

for a mature hen. The salts can be

dissolved in warm water and poured

down the throat of the bird. Then you

know the hen has received the dose.

She may not "eat enough of a mash

containing the salts. A, flock can be

allowed to go hungry about half a day

followed by a moist mash containing

epsom salts for every bird. ’

When the salts are used as a ,pre-

ventive, place about three teaspoonfuls

in a gallon of water and allow the

birds no other drinking water. Many

of the cases of so-called cholera, are

really only bowel trouble, due to faulty

feeding methods. Often the use of cp-

som salts will improve such condi-

tions. Epsom salts can be purchased

in one hundred pound bags for less

than four cents per pound, so the cost

of using this in poultry doctoring'is

very reasonable—Kirby.





A RECORD HEN.





ADY JEWELL, who belongs to the



Western Washington State Ex-

periment Station, and who has already

had good laying records to her credit

closed her year’s test with a total of

335 eggs:



Lady Jewell is a White Leghorn hen

which is owned by H. M. Lethers, of

Washington, who values her at $2,000.

She was entered in the egg-laying con-

test at the experiment station. Ac-

cording to the superintendent of .the

egg-laying contest, this hen reached

the former world’s record of 324 eggs

made \‘by a California White Leghorn.



In this contest there are ten other

hens which have» passed the 300-egg

mark for the year, one of them laying

332 eggs.





 





AN IMPRISONED HEN.





'





I RA FRAKER near Perrington, Mich-



igan, unknowingly buried a hen

when he was putting hay in the mow

this summer. Lately this hen was un-

covered and was found still alive, al-

though she had nothing to eat but hay

leaves and had scanty air circulation

-and absolutely no water during the

time of her imprisonment.



In order to make herself more com-

fortable she ate away the hay sur-

rounding her, but she could not make

room enough for herself so that she

could stand up. Because of being in

one position so long, her legs have

been rendered useless.



Poultry authorities think it remark-

able that a/hen should last so long

ICI-IIGAN State

. membership dues for the period

1920, 1921 and 1922 have again been

ruled legally collectable by the courts.

The recent ruling comes as the result

of a farm bureau suit at Centerville,

St. Joseph county, to collect $20 delin~

quent membership dues. The case was

remarkable in that the defense was

represented by two of the most noted

lawyers in southern Michigan and the

farm bureau was represented by three

equally prominent lawyers.



The issue was fought out in a three-

day legal battle and the jury returned

a verdict in favor of the farm bureau





after thirty minutes deliberation. The .





farm bureau attorneys won the case





on the straight collectability of the





membership checks and the services

rendered in return during the three-

year period just ending.

"N a recent experiment sarcoma-at

' the Casweel Training School at

Kingston, . North Carolina; they have

found that music stimulates milk pro-

duction. ‘

It happened that the superintendent

of the school installed a phonograph

in the cow .shed'where eighty cows

were being milked by the boys of the

school. This was done to make things

less monotonous for the boys, but

after several weeks, it was found that

the flow of milk of each cow was in-

creased from ten to twenty pounds per

Week. ‘ ' ' '

One cow, Butter Girl, gave during a





, week of music, 344.7 pounds cf milk,

: as against 333.4 pounds during a week





in which there was no music. During





'. three Weeks of music there was little





increase in the output of this cow or

other members of the herd, but when

the music stopped Butter Girldropped

to 316 pounds per week. The records

of other cows were similar.



The superintendent, Dr. McMary,

says, “The effect of the music on the

boys during the milking was marvel-

ous, but its effect on the cows was

even more so. These Holsteins would

practically go to sleep. Cows were

fed first, and then the phonograph

started. They would not move, if

there was nothing to disturb them. The

greater the supply of blood to the ud-

der, the greater the quantity of milk

produced. The more contented , the

mind of the cow, the heavier will be

the flow of milk.”





PRUNING AEPLES FOR PROFIT.





 





(Continued from page 581).

removal of the longer growths origi-

nating from the central leader other

than those intended for main scaffold

branches and perhaps a light heading

back to balance the tree after the first

season’s growth; a similar thinning

out but less heading back after the

second season’s growth; a light prun-

ing after the third season’s growth,

and very light thinning out of the pre-





vious season’s growth thereafter until





the tre’e has borne two or three crops.

The thinning should, for'the most part,





be confined to the outer parts of the





tree so as to admit sunlight and keep

all parts of the tree functioning prop-

erly. Very few of the smaller growths

in the interior of the tree should be

removed.





In case one is growing some filler

trees in between the permanent ones,

I Would recommend no pruning after

the second growing season because

these trees will probably not be re-

tained for more than twenty years

and we want to bring them into bear-





Ving just as early as possible and,





furthermore, we are not interested in

the formation of a, particularly strong

framework.





Make Many Small Cuts on Bearing

Trees.



The average more or less neglected

bearing tree is so thick about the out-

er parts that an even distribution of

functioning fruit spurs cannot be main-

tained. Thus the outer ends of the

branches should be considerably thin?

ned to permit a free circulation of air,

ample sunlight to produce fruit spurs

and fruit, and to permit more thorough

spraying. The common mistake is to

pursue the easiest course and remove

a few rather large branches, but such

a. practice leaves holes and does not

result in an even thinning or an even

growth. Again, too much large wood

is removed, resulting in‘ a. heavy veg-

etative growth near the base of the

removed branches.





In thinning but the outer parts of

trees, less vegetative disturbance will

result if many small ‘ln'anchese-seidom‘





over an inch in diameters—are removed





 





2' ill/M aways: to learn Mouser





 





 





 

     





istlil'l‘op’en' can to permt





work Is best performed when the prun-





er climbs out near the ends of the





main branches where he is able 'to'

work with a. saw and pair {of hand

shears. This practice ”requires time,

but experience has proved that the ex-

tra. labor required is repaid many

times through better results. In case

old trees are bearing too many cluster-

ed, weak or inactive spurs, it is advis-

able to thin them to admit light, pre-

vent overbearing of small fruit, and to

stimulate the remaining spurs.



Bearing Orchards are frequently

seen in which trees have been stripped

of all fruiting wood except near the

ends of the branches. In other words,

all the fruit is borne out on the ends

of the branch-es instead of being dis-

tributed throughout the tree. In many

trees there is no fruiting wood within

a. radius of twelve to fourteen feet

from the head of the tree. It is un-

derstood that a branch can support

more apples if they are distributed

over its entire length, than if they are

all clustered about the ends, probably

six to twelve feet from the main trunk.

“A scaffold branch should have sev-

eral good lateral branches well spaced

along its entire length, each lateral

supporting its share of fruiting wood.

Such a tree can support a given load

to better advantage and carry a much

larger crop of fruit. When pruning

the young tree always leave fruiting

wood if it is located where it will have

a chance to develop. The tree will

fruit earlier and heavrer. ‘



Fruiting wood may be developed in

the course of three or four years in a.

tree in which the scaffold limbs are

bare by the use of well situated water

spouts, by cutting them back from four

to twelve inches in length to encour

age the development of side branches

These in turn should be headed back

the following year. After this, th

heading back should be lessened to en-

courage the formation of fruit spurs.

To make this operation successful it is

essential that the trees be thinned

about the outside to admit light suffi-

cient to allow the development of fruit

spurs and to color the fruit.



Pruning may be done any time dur-

ing the dormant season. Possibly very

slight preference should be given to

late winter or early spring, so far as

the trees are concerned, but if left

until such a season the chances are

very good that the work will not be

completed because. cf rush of other

farm practices. Consequently any fav-

orable weather following the dropping

of the foliage should be used for prun-

mg.

HEAT is looking line in this sec:

acreage. ' COrn is making a dis-

appointing yield as the eXtreme hot

and dry weather last summer resulted

in numerous nubbins. Whitecap corn

seems to stand the dry weather better

than the pure yellow corn, but I do not

like it so well for‘ feeding. The old-

fashioned Gar ,corn does 'the best for

me. The ears are small but fat, with a

small cob, and even the nubbins are

hard and solid.



I had a neighbor drill in a small

piece of wheat for me. It was drilled

in the corn stubble without working

the ground at all; his wheat ground

express ofl‘lce. and I get them tomor-

row. ‘ These plants cost me a shameful

lot of big round dollars, but maybe

they will pay. It is time to introduée

newer and better varieties in this

section. ’



L Well, it is getting late and the rest

of the family have all gone to bed,

time for me to go, too. Say, boys, do

you remember way back, up there in

VVexford county, when we slept right

under the shake roof and in the morn-

that ‘my wheat would not amount to

shucks, but to his surprise mine looks

I fertilized the corn

with pulverized sheep manure and the

wheat will get some benefit from that.

On part of the field I applied acid

phosphate at the rate of eight hundred

pounds per acre and you can see now

just where I left off sowing the acid

phosphate. ’1 will report further on

the field.



The fruit is all picked and shipped,

and now we fruit men can live on

memories until next June, when the

strawberries begin to move. As the

two governors said to each other, its a.

long time. between pay—days. Labor

kicks on a monthly wage, but we fruit

men go seven months without a pay-

day. Kieffer pears did not sell for

enough to pay to pick them, and thou-

sands of bushels rotted on the ground.



Apples would not sell'at all. The

winter apples are the scabbiest,

scrawniest 'lot I ever saw, in spite of

our frequent and thorough spraying.

One of the best orchards near Benton

Harbor shipped two barrels of unclass-

ified apples to one of number ones.I

, The other fellow may have'my share

of raising Chinese cabbage. Mine have

not shown the least tendency to make

heads. I did raise a big lot of Missouri

pumpkins from some seed my brother

sent me. They grew big and laid thick

on the ground. Every year I change

locations for my potatoes, and every

year they are scabby and have wire-

worms in them. I plant the best of

northern grown seed, but the result is

always the same. The northern man

may raise my potatoes and I send him

grapes in exchange. Some base villain

- MAKE A LITTLE KRAUT.





 





HE heavy production of cabbage in

several sections of Michigan has

created a real marketing problem. In





 





many instances the situation can be,

improved, or at least a valuable food

product can be made for home use, by

converting some of this cabbage into

sauer kraut. I



The following equipment and in-E

gredients are necessary: An earthen

jar of ten-gallon capacity; a short

piece of two-by—four or a heavy wood-[r

en mallet; a kraut cutter, or shredder; I

a wooden cover or plate; a weight;

some cheesecloth or‘ coarse muslin;

sixty pounds of cabbage and about

one-fourth pound of salt.



Select cabbage with white hearts

and discard the outer leaves. Cut fine

and place in jar in layers four or five

inches thick. Over this layer sprinkle

a little salt, then jam with the mallet

or two—by-four until the cabbage be?

comes quite moist. Put in another lay-

er and repeat the process. '



When the jar is nearly full, cover

the kraut with washed cabbage leaves

and then with a wooden cover or a

large earthenware plate. Weight down'

with a stone. Protect from dirt by cov-

ering the jar with a coarse muslin





- cover or several layers of cheesecloth.





Let the jar stand in a warm cellar

The kraut is

ready for use when bubbles stop form-

ing and a thin crust' forms over the

brine. The upper layer of cabbage is

usually soft and off-flavor and should

be discarded.

CHAIN STORES MAY “some

POTATO SITUATION.





 





HE chain stores in Chicago, Detroit



and other large cities are making

potatoes their leaders. In many plac-

es these organizations are offering po-

tatoes at from fifteen to sixteen cents

per peck. Some are also offering two

and a half-bushel sacks for $1.16. On

this basis, these stores are making

about ten cents per hundredweight.

But they are giving the consumers this

staple food product at such a low cost

that its consumption will greatly in-

crease. If this type of store will make

features of such farm products they

will become great factors in relieving

the situation when the production of

certain crops is greater than the nor-

mal consumptive needs.





TH E FARM WORKSHOP.





 





HE dimensions of the farm work-

shop should tend toward length

rather than width. It should not be

less than sixteen by twenty, or even

thirty feet is much better. For with

a feed rack, hay rack, or perhaps a

a boat, you’ve got not a bit too much

room in a twenty—foot shop. 11' your

shop is no more than twenty feet and

you have a forge it will be to your

advantage to build a lean-to at the end

of the shop for this and the anvil,

leaving a dirt floor to eliminate dan-

ger from fire.



It will be to your advantage, too, in

having an opening that you can open

or close directly in line with your vise

on the workbench so that when you

are working upon some long stuff, like

ladder uprights, etc., you can allow

the ends to project out into space. The

opening should be so that it can be

closed snugly to give the worker full

protection during cold or inclement

weather.



It will be for the best interests of

the farmer for him to start out with

but a few of the most necessary tools

and add to them as the need manifests

itself. In that way he will be less apt

to find himself stocked with tools for

which he has no good use—D. K.





BUZZING UP THE LAND.





 





HAT. baking, washing, lifeless, un-



productive land is the merciless



‘- bandit who robs the laboring farmer



of every possibility in the way of prof-



its. This bandit can be outwitted. I

have done it.



I was helped to do it by an outcast.

This outcast is a plant. In the 'past

we shunned it. There was no place in

our busy lives for it. But there is

such a place today, and let me tell



'you, that plant is none other than

sweet clover. .



Sometimes a cow or a sheep will

not eat it. But they can be trained.

That is, however, unnecessary, since

the land can be buzzed up to virgin

conditions without making bay of the

blooming, branching sweet clover. Yes,

this can be done While the farmer is

gathering in cold hard cash from the.



‘land. . -



Now, you are listening. Well, before



you turn your ear, let me tell you to

Use a

' chain maybe, or anyway, do anything

to get the soil on top. Two or three

' crops will make land mellow, active,

,full of vim and pep and ready to do

‘what it did first after the forest was

harvested ’





Did I forget something? Yes, you





 





 





remembered its—that cold hard cash.





You will need some to start with In-

less you have about twenty good:

swarms of bees for every ten acres of-

this sweet clayer..' I find that these

busy, buzzing brothers are capable of!

gathering the cold cash from this

sweet clover. When honey-making

weather is reasonably plentiful a score:

of healthy swarms will secure within?

the little cells almost a ton of the:

sweet nectar. At eighteen or twenty:

cents per pound—well, figure it. Yes,

the total is larger than from beans,

or corn, or cats, 0r wheat. -



Of course, you might need a little

lime to satisfy the calcium appetite of

this vigorous plant. You will have to

supply this if, in days gone by, the

appetite of clovers has used up the

native stores. But lime paves and

makes sure and safe the narrow way

which leads to production on a virgin

soil basis. .



Ever-changing humus and home-gen-

erated nitrogen must be mined into

these emaciated soils. Sweet clover is

my prescription. It has the kick.

Three doses will bring back the worst;

cases. You may need to supplement

with a little commercial fertilizer.





Then let the bees pay the bills as I .





have done—Samuel Hagerman.





OTTAWA COUNTY HOLDS SUC-

CESSFUL FESTIVAL.





 





HE fourth annual Ottawa County.-





Farm Bureau festival, held at





Coopersville in cooperation with the“





Grange and the Coopersville Business

Men’s Association, proved the

ever held. The corn show command-





ed the greatest attention, there being





670 ears on display. Mr. Howard Rath-

er, who judged the exhibit, writing to

Mr. Hambleton, local chairman, stat-

ed: “1 wish to congratulate you and

Mr. Milham very, very much for the

exceptionally successful corn and

grain show which you had at Coopers-

ville. I have never judged a better

corn display of similar nature.”



Clyde Hollis, from Hudsonville, won

sweepstakes with ten ears of Pickett

Yellow Dent Corn. Frank Hambleton,

from Coopersville, won on White Dent

corn, and Stanley Kurek, from Marne,

won on M. A. C. Yellow Dent in the

amateur division. A number of these





exhibits will be seen at the Interna-





tional Live Stock Exposition and Grain

Show at Chicago, December 2-9.





SILVER FOX MEN TO MEET.





 





HE meeting of the National Silver -





Fox Breeders’ Association will be

held at Muskegon on December 6-7,

and the annual silver fox show will be

held at the same time. Entries for

this show are being received from all

parts of the United States, and even

as far north as Alaska. As Michigan

is the leading state in this unique in-

dustry, this meeting,_promises ‘to be.

of unusual interest. Those who are

interested in the possibilities of fox

raising will find it worth their time to

attend.

There was only a week now' until

Harry’s case should come to trial. Only

a‘week until the failure of the defend-

ant to appear should throw the deeds

of the Blue Poppy mine into the hands

of the court, to be sold for the amount

'of the ball. And in spite of the fact

that Fairchild now felt his mine to be

a bonanza, unless some sort of a mir-

acle could happen before that time,

the mine was the same as lost. True,

it would go to the highest bidder at a

public sale and any money brought in

above the amount of bail Would be re-

turned to him: But who would be the

bidder? Who would get the mine—

perhaps for twenty or twenty—five thou-

sand dollars, when it was now worth

millions? Certainly not he. Already

he and Harry had borrowed from

Mother Howard all that she could lend

them. True she had friends; but none

could produce from twenty to two hun-

dred thousand dollars for a mine, sim-

ply on his word. And unless some-

thing should happen to intervene, un~

less Harry should return, or in some

way Fairchild could raise the neces-

sary five thousand dollars to furnish

a cash bond and again recover the

deeds of the Blue Poppy mine, he was

no better off than before the strike

was made. Long he thought, finally to

come to his conclusion, and then, with

the air of a gambler who has placed

his last bet to win or lose, he went

to bed.



But morning found him awake long

before the rest of the house was stir-

ring. Downtown he hurried, to eat a

hasty breakfast in the all-night res-

taurant, then to start on a search for

men. The first workers on the street

that morning found Fairchild altering

them six dollars a day. And by eight

o’clock, ten of them were at work in

the drift of the Blue Poppy mine,

working against time that they might





- repair the damage_.-which had been





caused by the cave-in.



It was not an easy task. That day

and the next and the next after that,

they labored. Then Fairchild glanced

at the progress that was being made

and sought the pseudo-foreman.



"Will it be finished by night?" he

asked. .



“Easily.” '



“Very well. I may need these men

to work on a day and night shift, I’m

I’ll be back in an hour.”



Away he went and up the shaft, to

travel as swiftly as possible through

the drift-piled road down Kentucky

Gulch and to the Sampler. There he

sought out old Undertaker Chastine,

and with him went to the proprietor.



“My name is Fairchild, and I’m in

trouble," he said candidly. “I’ve





brought'Mr. Chastine in with me be-_





cause he assayed some of my ore a

few days ago and. believes he knows

what it’s worth. I’m working against

time to get five thousand dellars. If I

can produce ore that runs two hundred

dollars to the ton and if I’ll sell it to

you for one hundred seventy-five dol~

lars a ton until I can get the money

I need provided I can getrthe permis-

sion of the court—will you put it

through for me?”



“If you’ll let me see where you’re

getting the ore.” Then he figured a

moment. “That’d be-thirty or forty

ton” came at last. “We could handle





I have so far is an assay of some drill

scrapings. I don’t know how thick the

vein is or whether it’s going to pinCh

out in ten minutes after we strike it.

But I’ll know mighty soon.” , .

Every cent that’ Robert Fairchild

possessed in the world was in his pock-

ets—two hundred dollars. After he

had paid his men for their three days

of labor, there would be exactly twen-

ty dollars left. But Fairchild did not

hesitate. To Farrell’s office he went

and with him to an interview, in cham-

bers, with the judge. Then, the nec-

essary permission having been grant-





 





AUCTION SflLES

By Hugh Kephart





Said Brown, “I’m there with auction

sales,

It’s just a waste of time, I know,

For prices rise like wintry gales

If I should take a chance and go.





“My mind must be an open book

For all the folks around to read;



Just let them see me take a look

At some old cow or tool I need.





“Then Southwick, genial auctioneer,

Can cease his loud resounding din



As all the neighbors far and near

Me pegging bids too fast for him.





“He always points a slender stick

At bidders when they’re acting shy,

But now it’s flashing just as quick

As ever lightning crossed the sky.





“He wheels about with blinding speed.

(A mountain cat would be too slow)





The overlapping bids to heed

As fast and higher still, they go.





“They’re barking like some angry pack

As hats and arms are wildly tossed.

The modest bid l made—alackl

Has gone unheard, forever lost.





“There’s magic in my every glance,

The neighbors bank upon my eye,

They never take the slightest chance



When I approve, they rush and buy.





“That very pace l’m always led,

I’ve felt defeat in all my bones,

that as fast as you could bring it

here.”



But a new thought had struck Fair-

child—a new necessity for money.



“I’ll give it to you for one hundred

dollars a ton, providing you do. the

hauling and lend me enough after the

first day or so to pay my men.”



“But why all the excitement—and

the rush?”



“My partner’s Harry Harkins. He’s

due for trial Friday, and he’s disap-

peared._ The mine is up as security.

You can see what will happen unless

I can substitute a cash bond for the

amount due before that time. Isn’t

that sufficient?”



“It ought to be. But as I said, I want

to see where the ore comes from.”



“You’ll see in the morning—if I’ve

got it,” answered Fairchild with a new

hope thriiling in his voice. “All that





ed, he hurried back to the’mine and

into the drift, there to find the last of

the muck being scraped away from

beneath the site of the cave-in. Fair-

child paid off. Then he turned to the

foreman. ' ‘



“How many of these men are game\

to take a chance?”



“Pretty near all of ’em—if there’s

any kind of a gamble to it.”



“There’s a lot of gamble. I’ve got

just twenty dollars in my pocket—

enough to pay each man one dollar

apiece for a night’s work if my hunch

doesn’t pan out. If it does pan, the

wages are twenty dollars a day for

three days, with everybody, including





myself, working like blazes! Who’s

game?”

The answer came in unison. Fair-





child led the way to the chamber, seiz-

ed a hammer and took his place.

“There's "tWo-hundred-dollar ore

back of this foot wall if we can break

in to start a new stope,” he announc-

ed. “It takes a six-foot hole to reach

it, and we Can have the whble story

by morning. Let’s go!”



Along the great length of the foot

wall, extending all the distance of the

big ‘chamber, the men began their

work, five men to the drills and as

many to the sledges, as they started

their double-jacking. Hour after hour

the clanging of steel against steel

sounded in the big underground room,

as the drills bit deeper and deeper

into the hard formation of the foot

wall, driving steadily forward until

their contact should have a different

sound, and the muggy scrapings bear

a darker hue than that of mere wall-

rock. Hour after hour passed, while

the drill-turners took their places with

the sledges, and the sledgers went to

the drills—the turnabout system of





-“double-jacking”——with Fairchild, the





eleventh man, filling in along the line

as an extra sledger, that the miners

might be the more relieved in their

strenuous, frenzied work. Midnight

came. The first of the six-foot drills

sank to its ultimate depth. Then the

second and third and fourth: finally

the fifth. They moved on. Hours more

of work, and the operation had been

repeated. The werkmen hurried for

the powder house, far down the drift,

by the shaft, lugging back in their

pockets the yellow, candle-like sticks

of dynamite, with their waxy wrappers

and their gelatinous contents together

with fuses and caps. Crimping nip-

pers—the inevitable accompaniment

of a miner—came forth from the pock-

ets of the men. Careful tamping, then

the men took their places at the fuses.



“Give the word!” one of them an

nounced crisply as he turned to Fair-

child. “Each of us’ll light one of these

things, and then I say we’ll run! Be-

cause this ’is going to be some ex-

plosion.” -





Fairchild smiled the smile of a man

whose heart is thumping at its maxi-

mum speed. Before him in the long

line of the foot wall were ten holes,

“upholes.” “downs” and “swimmers,”

attacking the hidden Ore in every di-

rection. Ten holes drilled six feet into

the rock and tamped with double

charges of dynamite. He straightened.



“All right, men! Ready?”



“Ready!” ' '



“Touch 'em off!”



The carbide lamps were held close

to the fuses for a second. Soon they

were all going, spitting like so many

venomous, angry serpents—but neither

Fairchild nor the miners had stopped

to watch. They were running as hard

,“Anu two—and three!” . _

,."‘There goes four and five—they

went together.” '

“S_ix——-.seven———eight—nine—”

I Again a wait, while they looked at





one another with vacuous eyes. A long

interval and then the tenth.





“Two went together then! I thought

we'd counted nine?” The foreman

stared, and Fairchild studied. Then

his face lighted. '



“Eleven’s right. One of them must

.have set of! the charge that Harry left

in there. All the better—it gives us

just that much more of a chance."



Back they went along the drift tun-

nel now, coughing slightly as the

sharp smoke of the dynamite cut their

lungs. A long journey that seemed as

many miles instead of feet. Then with

a shout, Fairchild sprang forward, and

went to his hands and knees.



It was there before him—all about

him—the black, heavy masses of lead-

silver ore, a great, heaping, five-ton

pile of it where it had been throWn

out by the remendous force of the ex-

plosion. It seemed that the whole

great floor of the cavern was covered

with” it, and the workmen shouted with

Fairchild as they seized bits of the

precious black stuff and held it to the

light for closer examination.



“Look!” The voice of one of them

was high and excited. “You can see

the fine streaks of silver sticking out!

It’s high-grade and plenty of it!"



But' Fairchild paid little attention.

He was playing in the stuff, throwing

it in the air and letting it fall to the

floor'of the cavern again, like a boy

with a new sack of marbles, or a child

with its building blocks. Five tons and

the night was not yet over! Five tons.

and the vein had not yet shown its

other side!



Back to work they went now, six of

the men drilling, Fairchild and the

other four mucking out the refuse,

hauling it up the shaft, and then turn-

ing to the are that they might get it

to the old, rotting bins and into posi-

tion for loading as soon as the owner

of the Sampler could be notified in the

morning and the trucks could fight

their way through the snow-drifts of

Kentucky Gulch to the mine for load

ing. Again through the hours the

drills bit into the rock walls, while the

ore car clattered along the tram line

and whfl’e the creaking of the block

and tackle at the shaft seemed end-

less. In three days, approximately

forty tons of ore must come out of

that mine—and work must not cease.





. Morning, and in spite of the sleep-

laden eyes, the heavy aching in his

head, the tired drooping of the shoul-

ders Fairchild tramped to the boarding

house to notify Mother Howard and

ask for news of Harry. There had

been none. Then he went on, to wait

by the door of the Sampler until Bitt-

son, the owner, should appear, and

drag him away up the hill, even before

he could open up for the morning.



“There it is!” he exclaimed as he

led him to the entrance of the cham-

ber. “There it is; take all you want

of it and assay it!”



Bittson went forward into the cross-

out where the men were drilling even

at new holes, and examined the vein.

Already it was three feet thick, and

there was still ore ahead. One of the

miners looked up.





“Just finishing up on the cross-cut,”

he announced, as he nodded toward his

drill. “I’ve just bitten into the foot

wall on the other side. Looks to me

like the vein’s about five feet thick——

as near as I can measure 1 .”





“And—r Bittson picked up a few

samples, examined them by the light

pics ,“All'=”rig‘ht, yr? he turned

to' Fair-child. What was that bargain

we made i” - '

~It was based on two hundred dollars

a ton ore. This may run above—or

below. But whatever it is, I’ll send

you all you can handle for the next

three days at fifty dollars a ton under

the assay price.”





_ "You've said the word. The trucks

will be here in an hour if we have to

shovel a path all the way up Kentucky

Gulch.” ‘



He hurried away then, while Fair-

child and the men followed him into

town and to their breakfast. Then.

recruiting a. new gang on» the promise

of payment at the end of their three-

day shift, Fairchild went back to the

mine. But the word had spread, and

others were there before him.





Already _a wide path showed up Ken-

tucky Gulch. Already fifteen or twenty

miners were assembled about the op-‘

ening of the Blue Poppy tunnel, await-

ing permission to enter, the usual rush

upon a lucky mine to' view its riches.

Behind him, Fairchild could see others

coming from Ohadi to take a look at

the new strike and his ,heart bounded

with happiness tinged with sorrow.

Harry was not there to enjoy it all;

Harry was gone, and in spite of his

every effort, Fairchild had failed to

find him.



All that morning they thronged down

the shaft of the Blue Poppy. The old

method of locomotiou grew too slow;

willing hands repaired the hoist and

sent volunteers for a gasoline engine

to run it, while in the meantime ofli-

cials of curiosity labored on the broken

old ladder that once had encompassed

the distance from the bottom of the

shaft to the top, rehabilitating it to

SlllCh an extent that it might be used

again. The drift was crowded with

persons bearing candles and carbides.

The big chamber was filled, leaving

barely room for the men to work with

their drills at the final holes that would

be needed to clear the vein to the foot

wall on the other side and enable the

miners to start upward on their new

stope. Fairchild looked about him

proudly, happily; it was his, his and

Harry’s—if Harry ever should come

back again—the thing he had worked

for, the thing he had dreamed of, plan-

ned for.



Some one brushed against him, and

there came a slight tug at his coat.

Fairchild looked downward to see

passing the form of Anita Richmond.

A moment later she looked toward

him, but in her eyes there was no light

of recognition, nothing to indicate that

she had just given him a signal of

greeting and congratulation. And yet

Fairchild felt that she had. Uneasily

he walked away, following her with his

eyes as she made her way into the

blackness of the tunnel and toward the

shaft. Then absently, he put his hand

into his pocket. '





Something there caused his heart to

halt momentarily~a piece of paper.

He crumpled it in his hand, he rubbed

his fingers over it wonderingly; it had

not been in the pocket befOre she had

passed him. Hurriedly he walked to

the far side of the chamber and there,

pretending to examine a bit of ore,

brought the missive from its place of

secretion, to unfold it with trembling

fingers, then to stare at the words

which showed before him: .



“Squint Rodaine is terribly worried

about something. Has been on an aw-

ful rampage- all morning. Something

critical is brewing, but I don’t know





what. Suggest you keep watch on him.

Please destroy this.”





That was all. There was no signa-

ture. But Robert Fairchild had seen

the writing of- Anita Richmond once

before! i

To ,Get

CW we were going to manage was worrying

me almost sick——

I hadn't had anything new for so long



that I was getting ashamed to go any-

where. And I wanted things for the house—new

curtains and a long list of

other Items.

Everet's teeth needed at-

tention. Sodid mine. And

there were some bills six

months overdue.



But where was the money

to come from?



We were paying for a

home. That and the

butcher’s and grocer's bills

and other ‘ necessary ex-

penses took every cent al-

most as fast as Everet

could earn it. No matter

how we skimped and

squeezed and went with-

out, there was never any-

thing left over.





1 Couldn’t Neglect

My Home





“If I could earn some

extra money!" I kept

thinking. But it seemed

like wishing for the pot of

gold at the end of the rain-



w.



Nearly every day I had

my work all done by one or

two o'clock or a little after.

Often I was all through by

ten or eleven in the morn-

ing. It seemed a shame to

let all that spare time go to

waste when I needed money so badly.



But what could I do?



I couldn't neglect the meals or the housework—

so a place in a store or office or any other work rc-

quiring regular hours was out of the question.

Except for plain mending, I couldn't sew. I

knew I was not cut out for canvassing or selling—

and besides I was too sensitive about what the

neighbors would say to try anything so public.

liacllc Eny brains as I would, there seemed nothing

e se e t.





Emma Had A Lot

Of New Things





One afternoon last spring when I was feeling

blue and discouraged, Emma Breach came over.

We had been friends since our school days. But

we now lived so far apart that it was often a long

time between visits.



Of course I was glad to see her. But I must con-

fess that in a way she made me feel more blue and

discouraged than ever. From head to heels every

thing she had on was new—she looked as if she

had just stepped out of a fashion plate. I couldn't

help envying her.



When she mentioned a little trip she had taken

the week before. and some new furniture she had

just ordered for her living-room, my envy doubled.

I knew her husband didn't make any more than

Everet. I wondered how she did it. Finally I

blurted right out and asked her.





I Was All Ears





“Really, Helene," she answered, "I have bought

so many things in the last few months that I

know people must think some rich relative has

left us all his money. But it's even better than

that. I call it my ‘Magic Purse Filler'."



“Helene," she went on, “I've found the ideal

way to earn money at home—in spare time. It's

so easy and interesting that it doesn’t seem like

work at all."



I was all ears—maybe Emma’s “Magic Purse

Filler" would solve my troubles too. -



“You know how popular wool hose have be

come," she continued. “Even in summer—for golf.

tennis and other sports. And in winter every-

body wants them. That's the secret of all my

new things—I earn them by knitting hose."



“Oh. nol" Emma explained. in answer to my

question. "Not by hand. I knit them on a

wonderful little hand knitting machine—my

‘Magic Purse Filler'. I can knit a pair in so

short a time. And I get fine pay for every pair

I make."





Emma Tells The Way





"And how did





261 W ckofl Strut

“But who pays you?" I asked.

you get started?"



“There is a concern in Rochester, New York,"

Emma answered. “that wants all the home-knit

hose it can get—to supply to stores. You know

how nearly everybody 'thinks genuine home-knit

goods are so much better than the factory kind.

It's the Home Profit Hosiery Company. You

get the knitter from them. They show you how

to use it—how to knit hose, sweaters and many

other articles. They also furnish free yarn—it

doesn't cost you a penny. You do the knitting

entirely at your own convenience—sit down at the

machine just whenever you feel like it. Then, as

fast as you finish a dozen or more pairs, you send

them to the Home Profit Hosiery Company and

they send you a check. Itfs the easiest way to

earn extra money I have ever heard of."



If Emma could do it, why couldn’t I? She had

a booklet with her that told all about the plan. I

eagerly read every word of it and then immediately

sent for a machine.



With the machine came a book of instructions

that made everything simple and clear. After a

little practice—simpl following directions care-

fully—I quickly _got t e knack of it and have been

doing fine ever Since.





My First Check





The first week—just sittingdown at the machine

whenever I had nothing else to do—TI knit four

dozen pairs. A few days later I received my first

check—and how happy and proud I was. Since

then the postman has brought me dozens of such

checks—Many of them for much larger amounts;

but none has ever given me such a thrill as that

first one did—~for it meant that at last I had found

the way to keep my .

the old skimping and wot.

tying and doing without.



Operating the Home

Profit Knitter looked to

easy that Everet—who at

first sort of pooh—peeked

the whole idea—got in-

terested and tried his hand.

Now many an evening he

fills his pipe and sits down

at the Knitter and knits

two or three or a half

dozen pairs of hose before

going to bed—says he

would rather do it than

read.





I No Longer

Have To Do

Without





Before long I had all

the back bills paid up

and enough money to

blossom out in new

clothes. Also for the

first time in my life I

now have a little

money in the bank—all

my own. _ And the

amount is steadily

growing larger each month.



It's really surprising what a difference a little

extra money can make. More than once I have

earned enough in a single week to pay for a nice

new dress. The biggest check I ever received in

all my life came one week when Everet helped me

every evening. Everct said last night maybe we

would be better off if he were to quit his job as a

painter and give all his time to knitting hose—,-

and at that perhaps there's more truth in his to-

mark than he realized.

51011111163. 1 read some time ago

of a missionary who landed at"

an' African port. In the hold of the

ship were several hundred Bibles that

had been printed in the United States,

from a translation into the language of

a certain tribe, which this Jnissionary

had made. But the Bibles could not

be gotten out. of the hold for several

days, because they were under six.

thousand cases of liquor. Both the

Bible and the liquor were missionar-

ies, but not the same kind.



A missionary has" recently returned

to America who has been around the

world. He went as a missiouary of

good will and brotherhood. He trav-

eled about thirty thousand miles, and

visited the princi-

pal countries of

the far east, and

Europe. He tells

“his story in~~“0n

the Trail of the

Peacemakers,” by

Macmillan, New

York, which has

been off the press

but a few weeks.

It is a most illum-

inating book, and

Would furnish ma-

terial for any Sunday School teacher

who has a. class of young people. Or

it would make a splendid book for a

reading circle. Let’s glance at a, few

things the author says, and one reason

why his statements are or value is,

that he is an old and experienced trav-

eler. This is his fifth journey around

the world. For twenty-five years he

has been on the Wing as one of the

international secretaries of theYoung





 





 





Men’s Christian Association.

H E went to Japan. There he spoke

to great audiences on the world’s

need of peace and brothelhood. He

was applauded again and again. He

met a ship builder who had just given

away two million dollars for educa-

tional purposes. Ninety-six Japanese

out of every hundred can read and

write. That beats the United States.

He says that Japan has learned her

war-like methods from the white man.

She heard Germany singing, “Deutsch-

land Uber Alles,"y and Britain, “Rule

Britannia.” She heard America. say-

ing, “America for Americans,” and,

“My. country, 'right or wrong." She

saw Germany, England and Russia tak-

ing over some of the great sea. ports

of China, and China. helpless to pre-

vent them. She saw Russia creeping

down on‘Manchuria, and she said, the

only way to be big and powerful is to

have a. standing army, and to be ready

to fight. She got ready, fought Russia

and won. From the hour Japan won

over this white nation she has been

different.





Mr. Smith went to China. There

also were great audiences awaiting

him. But strangely enough, when he

spoke with all the passion of his soul

on the need of a world-wide peace, of

international brotherhood, there. was

but little applause: People did not

warm up to his doctrines. He found

out the reason. China. has been a.

peacedble nation, with respect to her

foreign relations. There have been

many internal wars, but she has not

attempted to fight other nations. The

boxer trouble was the attempt of ex-





tremists‘to put the foreigner out. And .





the Chinese say, it hasn’t worked. It

does not pay to be peaceable. Her

lands have .been taken, her ports seiz-

ed, and her richest province is: now

under some kind of amendate of Jap-

an. Should China become: thoroughly

awakened, should her unc'ounted mil-

despair. There were two or three

reasons-for war in 1914, butthere are

a hundred now. Mr. smith’s remarks

on France are. highly [interesting]

“France believes that; the rebuilding

layed many, many years. No substan-

perfect horror of what the future has

‘in store for her. Five times in one

hundred, and thirty years she has been

inva’ded by Germany. I talked with

one man whose home had twice been

occupied by German officers in his

lifetime.” \



Are missionaries needed in the Unit-

ed States? It looks so. One thing is

certain, you cannot explain to the av-

erage European why America-is not

in the League of Nations. - We under-

stand it, perhaps, but they do not. The

fact remains that our President went

to Europe and preached a very noble

doctrine of international brotherhood,

which he said would be organized into

a. League of Nations. But after that

the United States refused to enter this

League. Many Europeans believe that

it was because we are selfish and

wanted to make more money out Oh

Europe. Said a. member of the Chinese

cabinet to Mr. Smith, “We can’t quite

understand you and your country. You

seem to have two kinds of life—one

moral, religious and philanthrpoic. But

the other seems to be narrow, selfish

and unworthy.” The United States,

Mr. Smith found, is savagely criticized

because she had not been willing to

continue an interestin European prob-

lems. “America. First,” “Keep out of

entangling alliances,” and the ”like, are

quoted as convenient pretexts for new

hide behind, so that we take no risks

for the sake of other peoples. Repeat-

edly was it said to our traveler, that

if another war should break out, Amer-

ica will be to blame.





LMOST the very day it was known



that the» United States refused a

mandate over Armenia, the Turks be<

gun to be more belligerent and insol-

ent. This is a question on which there

are emphatic differences of opinion

among us. B-ut‘whether we be demo-

crats or republicans or something else,

we will in time be compelled to say

that our country cannot remain isolat-

ed, and let the suffering world take

care of itself. We send shipload on

shiplbad of relief, but these do not re-

place murdered families, and devastat-

ed cities.



What is the hope ofthe world? One

thing is certain, it, is not in politics,

nor is it in armies and navies. A prime-

minister said, “We have tried the poli-

tician; they can’t keep us. from war.

We have tried the newspapers; they

have failed. Let us now try the Chris-

tian church; perhaps it can teach us

a better way.”

CHAPTER XXI. -



Harry Harkins ‘Is Found.

SO she was his friend! So all these

‘ days; of waiting had not been in

vain; all the cutting hopelessness of

seeing her, only to have herturn away

her head and fail to recognize him,

had been for their purpose after all.

And yet " Fairchild remembered that

.she was engaged to Maurice Rodaine,

and that the time of the wedding must

be fast approaching. Perhaps there

had been a quarrel, perhaps—Then he

smiled. There was no perhaps about

it! Anita Richmond was his friend;

she had been forced into the promise

of marriage to Maurice Rodaine, but





she had not been forced into relin- .1





quishment other desire to reward him

somehow, some way, for the attention

that he had shown her and the liking

that she knew existed in his heart.



l—lastily Fairchild folded the paper

and stuffed it into an inside pocket.

Then, seeking out one of the work-

men ,he appointed him foreman of the

gang, to take charge in his absence.

Following which, he made 'his way out

of the mine and into the town, there

to hire men of Mother Howard’s sug-

gestion and send them to the Blue

Poppy, to take their stations every few

feet along the tunnel, to appear mere

spectators, but in reality to be guards

who were constantly on the watch for

anything that might occur. Fairchild

was taking no chances now. An hour

more found him at the Sampler,

watching the ore as it ran through the

great crusher hoppers to come forth

finely crumbled powder and be samp-

led ton by ton, for the assays by old

Undertaker Chastine and the three

other men of his type, Without which

no sampler pays for ore. Bittson ap-

proached grinning.



“You guessed just about right,” he

announced. “That stuff’s running right

around two hundred dollarsa .ton.

Need any money now?”



“All you can let me have!”



“Four or five hundred? VVe’ve got«

ten in eight tons of that stuff already;

don’t guess I’d be taking any risk on

that!” he chuckled. Fairchild reach-

ed for the currency eagerly. All but a

hundred dollars 0f it would go to Moth-

er Howard—«fgr that debt must be paid

off first. And, that accomplished, de<

nying himself the invitation of rest

that his bed held forth for him, he

started out into town, apparently to

loiter about the streets and receive

the congratulations of the towns-peo-

ple, but in reality to watch for one

person and one alone—Squint Rodaine!



He saw him late in the afternoon,

shambling along, his eyes glaring, his

lips moving wordlessly, and he took

up the trail. But it led only to the

office of the Silver Queen Develop-

ment Company, where the scar-faced

man doubled at his desk and, stuffing

a cigar into his mouth, chewed on it

angrily. Instinctively Fairchild knew

that the greatest part of his mean tem-

per was due to the strike in the Blue

Peppy; instinctively also he felt that

Squint Rodaine had known of the val-

ue all along, that now he was cursing

himself for the failure of his schemes

to obtain possession of what‘had ap-

peared until only a day before to be

nothing more than a disappointing, un-

lucky, illomened hole in the ground.

Fairchild resumed his loitering, but

evening found him near the Silver

Queen ofiice.



Squint Rodaine did not leave for din-

ner. The light burned long in the lit-

tle room, far post the usual closing





. 'time and until after the picture-show

_ crowds had come and gone, while the





man of the blue-white scar remained





at his desk, starlngat papers, making

«use 'm of figures, and while

barely furnished in only a few of its





of winter, Fairchild trod the opposite; ;

side of the street careful that no one

caught the import of his steady, sen-r.

try-like pace, yet equally careful that

he did not get beyond a, range of visr

ion where he could watch the gleam ‘

of light from the office of the Silver

Queen. Anita’s note had told him lit-

tle, yet had implied much. Something





was fermenting in the seething brain ' ,





of Squint Rodaine, and if the past

counted for anything, it was some-

that concerned him.



An hour more, then Fairchild sud-

denly slunk into the shadows of a door— -

way. Squint had snapped out the

light and was locking the door. A mo-

ment later he had passed him, his form ‘

bent, his shoulders hunched forward,

his lips muttering some unintelligible -

jargon. Fifty feet more, then Fair-

child stepped from the doorway and

took up the trail.





It was not a hard One to follow. The

night wind had brought more snow .

with it, to make a silent pad upon the

sidewalks and to outline to Fairchild'

more easily the figure which slouched '

before him. Gradually Robert dropped

farther and farther in the rear. It gave

him that much more protection, that

much more surety in trailing his quar-

ry to wherever he might be bound.



And it was a certainty that the des-

tination was not home. Squint Ro-

daine passed the street leading to his

house without even looking up. Two

blocks more, and they reached the city

limits. But Squint kept on, and far





in the rear, watching carefully every '





move, Fairchild followed his quarry’s

shadow. '

A mile, and they were in the open

country, crossing and recrossing the

ice-dotted Clear Creek. A furlong





 





 





 





more, then Fairchild Went to his knees

that he might use the snow for a bet-

ter background. Squint Rodaine had

turned up the lane which led to a

great, shambling, old, white building

that, in the rosy days of the mining

game, had been a roadhouse with its

roulette wheels, its bar, its dining ta?

bles and its champagne but which now,





 





rooms, inhabited by mountain rats and -

fluttering bats and general decay for

the most part, formed the uncomfort-

able abode of Crazy Laura!



And Fairchild followed. It could

~mean only one thing when Rodaine

sought the white haired, mumbling 01d

hag whom once he had called his wife.

It could mean but one outcome, and

that of disaster for some one. Mother

HoWard had said that Crazy Laura

would kill for Squint. Fairchild felt

sure that once, at least, she had lied

for him, so that the name of Thornton ‘

Fairchild might be branded as that of

a murderer and that his son might be

set down in the community as a per-

son of ill-intent and one not to- be

trusted. And now that Squint Rodaine

was seeking her once more, Fairch'ild

meant to follow, and to hear—if such

a thing were within the range of hu-

man possibility—the evil drippings of

his crooked lips.



He messed to the side of the road

where ran the inevitable gully and tak-

ing advantage of the shelter, hurried

forward, smiling grimly in the dark-

ness at the memory of the fact that

things were not reversed; that he was

following Squint Rodaine as Rodaine

once had followed him.

moved, closer—closer; the scar-faced

man went through the tumble~down





gate and approached the house, not 1





knowing that. his pursuer was less than

fifty yards away! '

ITH golden curls and may

VD cheeks she skipped joyfully to



’ school. It was her first day, the

very first that she had ever been away

fromhome. .She was six years old and

now was going to be a little lady. The

rapture she felt as she thought of the

other girls she would meet and play

with. Her cup of joy was full and

overflowing.



Reaching the school she formed in

line with the other girls who stared at

her——some grinned, some smiled, some

laughed at her and said, “hello, cross-





 





long. It seemed that she ./

would never get away

from it. But, when the day

ended she hurried home

amid the jeers of boys and

girls calling after her—-

“Cross-eyed Mary.” Her

dear little heart was brok-

en and all the joy she felt

in the morning was turned

to tears. .



She persevered at school

day after day until she

could stand it no longer.

Then she went to her





her eyes and told her all



her troubles. She begged her mother

not to send her back to school because

she wasn’t the same as other girls.

And, it was not until those chubby





Hints for Ch





OW is the time to plan ,for the

kind of gifts that you wish to have

ready at Christmas time. Bags of all

kinds are always acceptable, and even

the men carry them. Here are some

hints for making purses. The mate-

rial may be wide ribbdn, silk plush,

velvet, leather, sealskin, or fur. Ir

silk or satin is chosen, one can get it

plain, stamp with a pretty design, and

paint it in oil colors. If oils are used,

be sure and press the painting in on

the wrong side. Among the pretty de.

signs are owls, bird of paradise, a bas-

ket of flowers, etc. A Christmas greet-

ing with the name of the o-wner-to-be,

can be placed inside. It can be bead-

ed in, if preferred.



Bath slippers are made by purchas—

ing a pair of white wool-lined soles.

Shirr a wide ribbon around the sole,

after placing a design of flowers, or

berries on the toes. Shir the top on

a rubber, the size of the ankle. Put

a bow of ribbon in front, or other dec-

oration, if desired. The ribbon or silk

used for the slippers, may be of pink,

red, blue or any shade desired.



All kinds of dainty boxes are ac-

c'eptable. One for home-made candies

can be made of blue blotting pads. Cut

into the desired shape, while flat;

Bring up the corners, and sew togeth-

er with blue silk cord or ribbon. .A

nickle or brass clasp can be purchased

to fasten the cover. Paint some Christ-

mas‘greetings on the covery, a holly "

branch or a sweet little verse from a

Christmas hymn, such as “Peace on'

Earth, Good Will to Men.” ~ ‘

“J UST TH E HOUSEWORK."





 





HE average farm wife will walk

about twelve miles daily doing just

the housework about the, home and

farm. Scientific minds have worked

out different simple arrangements for





the home that will cut down her steps .





by half.



It is well to plan to have a small

kitchen with no more wall space than

is_ necessary to accommodate the furni-

ture. However, in one country home

which I observed a. short while ago, the

kitchen was large, but very well ar-

ranged and I doubt if many more steps

were required in doing the daily work

than if the kitchen had been small.

The sink; stove, table, cabinet and cup-

board were all placed close together.

The cabinet was situated between the

stove and the sink so as to be in reach

of both water and raw materials. The

sink was large enough to hold‘the

dishpan and the rackfor draining the

dishes. The cupboard for the dishes

was only a step away. 'A drawer in

the cabinet at the left received the

kitchen silver. Thé other dishes were

put on a kitchen cart to be carriedto

the dining-room cupboard, which .was





 





 





avoided between the kitchen and the

dining-room, so that the kitchen cart

might roll smoothly through. '

An important small item was the

kitchen stool. It was similar to the

style used'in some dryg‘oods stores and

lunch rooms. ’ It Was attached to the





Cabinet and , was so located that it »





could be used when doing work at the

cabinet or sink. When not in use, it

could, be pushed under the cabinet en-

tirely out of the way.



By some little changes in your

kitchen, it may be that you may save

on the twelve miles that the average

housewife covers every day.





 





, THE ART or MAKING WHITE on





CREAM SAUCE. -/





 





AND it truly is a culinary art to



make this sauce to the creamy con-

sistency that will tickle the palate of

every member of the family.



One very good rule to remember in

its making,as well as in the daily

menu is, “nothing done in a hurry is

ever done well.” When making this

sauce, give yourself plenty of time. You

will need one pint of milk, or use half-

and-half of milk and white stock, two

tablespoons of butter, two heaping ta:

blespoons of flour, one-half teaspoon of

salt and a liberal dash of pepper.



First heat the milk in a double boil-

er. Some have advised the use of

cold milk, but I find I have the best

success if it is heated. ’.



Put the butter‘in a saucepan on a

slow fire, and stir until it melts and

bubbles. Be very careful not to brown

it, add the flour (dry) and stir con-

stantly until well mixed. Pour on about

one-third of the milk. Let it boil, and

stir well as it thickens. One may tip‘

the saucepan slightly to keep from

sticking. Add about half of the re-

maining milk, let boil and thicken and

stir vigorously until perfectly smooth.

Be sure to rub out all lumps while it

is yet very thick. Now add the re

mainder of the milk, salt and pepper

and let boil, stirring the while that it

may be perfectly smooth.



One can “dress up”‘the most com-

monplace dish, such as salmon, pota-

toes, fish, vegetables and numerous

special dishes, to look very tasty. A

touch of “something different” may be

given to some of the dishes if bread

crumbs that have been put in melted

butter, or dried beef cut into bits, 0r

pimentoes cut in shred, or grated

cheese, be added to the sauce just be-

fore combining with the other food.

First Prize.

. Mrs A. 14., Battle Creek, Mich.

When gathering, lengthen the ma.-





chine stitch and" make two rows of ‘





stitching about three-eighths of an

inch apart. Draw up one thread of

each row and you have neat gathers

that will not slip out of place.



»When putting on a straight facing





'or binding, let one edge be selvage.

- This saves much time and basting.





The less particular things may be

pinned instead of basted. If you are

careful to put the pins in at right an-

gles to the line of stitching, the ma-

chine foot will pass over them with no

trouble.



A little fancy stitching adds much

to the appearance of some otherwise

plain looking things. Wind floss on

, Second Prize.



Mrs. S. R. 3., Montgomery, Mich.



When cutting children’s garments

from a small amount of goods and piec-

ing is necessary, piece where trimming

would look most effective. Cover the

seam with a bit of braid or a simple

design in embroidery work or a few

fancy stitches, as the long and short

stitch, or feather stitch. On garments

for grown-ups wool yarn or beads can

be used in charming effects.



To do punch work by a short-cut

method, use a design such as a wild

rose or butterfly, baste a piece of

strong paper underneath, then a piece

of coarse curtain net. Work through

all. When finished cut out linen, be-

ing very careful not to cut net. Tear

out paper, leaving net, which greatly

resembles punch work. This can be

worked to great advantage in mending

thin breaks in lunch cloths and also

to cover stains. Work the design over

the stain or hole and cut away.

In making buttonholes in every-day

garments, I saw back and forth three

or four times, leaving a small space in

center where buttonhole is needed.

This is then cut, being careful not to

cut the stitching.



In making plain garments I cut out

several garments at a time. Then

stitch all seams so as to have them

ready for pick-up work at odd times.



To prevent ripping in tablecloths,



sheets, or towels at the ends, I sew

back and forth two‘or three times in

threads. -

. When hemstitching wears out, I

stitch serpentine braid across the

and lasts a long tiine.



When I get new underwear I stitch

two or three times around the button-

prevents them from stretching or los-

Founth Prize.

Mrs. H. A., Carsonville, Mich.



I have five children to sew for, the

oldest being five years of age. I do

my summer sewing in the winter whenE

the men are not working very hard

and don’t require the hearty meals?

that take so much time to prepare. I

use lots of pins and do very little bast-

ing. I do the stitching with No. 40

thread, and instead of French seams,

lay the edges together and fold over’1

about one-quarter inch and stitch. I3

find this will hold as long as the cloth

will wear.



I make everything I can with the

kimona sleeves. When it comes to

darning men’s cotton work socks, I

crochet around the hole with knitting

cotton, using single crochet and skip-

ping every other stitch until hole is

filled. I use tape to tie children’s

nightgowns instead of making button-

holes. .

‘ MUSTARD DRESSING.





 





. , , .

Will you please. publish recipes for

making home-prepared mustard that





the store?—Mrs. W



It is impossible to make a prepared

mustard exactly like the commercial

brand one buys at stores, as this reci—

pe is secret and the process lengthy.

The following‘is 'a. recipe for a very

good mustard dressing.



Use one and one-half tablespoons of

mustard, one egg, one tablespoon corn

starch, one tablespoon sugar, one ta:

blespoon salt, a little pepper and a

half pint of vinegar. Mix all together

and cook'in a. double boiler until thick.

This will keep a long time if air is

excluded.

pounds of loin pork until tender; cut

in one-inch pieces. Chop one bunch

of celery. Place half cup of oil in a.

Chinese chestnuts; half pound of bean

sprouts; One can broken muShrooms;

one teaspoon salt; one teaspoon pep-

per; three cups liquid from cooked

WHY SUFFER RHEUMATISM?





 





F you can think back a quarter cen-

tury you will remember that it was

more the rule than the exception





, to find our grandfathers and grand-





mothers, and even our uncles and

aunts, in many cases, to be all crippled

up with rheumatism. It is not imagi-

nation that leads you to think that the

present generation of ancestors shows

more immunity to the ravages of this

crippling disease. It is a certainty,

verified by the fact that mortality sta-

tistics show a drop in the death re-

turns from rheumatism of more than

forty per cent.



Thisvis very gratifying but it ‘does

not alter the fact that much misery is

still borne by certain victims of the

disease, as is shown by frequent let—

ters from sufferers. Very many of

these cases may be cleared up if an

intelligent attempt is made to get to

the seat of the trouble instead of wast-

ing effort and money in palliativ’es,

suchas liniments and other external

applications.



We have learned that in most cases

of rheumatism there is a. focus of pus

poisoning somewhere and that the way

to cure the trouble is to locate and

get rid of this focus. Quite often it is

at the roots of decayed teeth, and it

not infrequently happens that teeth

showing no special signs of decay,

when subjected to thelsearching power

of the X—Ray show unsuspected ‘ab-

scesses.



The tonsils come next as the prob-





size that counts, but their condition as

to disease. If both teeth and tonsils

can be shown to be innocent the trou-

ble may yet be found in some of the

sinuses of the head, or in an old dis-

eased appendix or infected "gall-blad-

der. ‘ ‘ .



Generally it takes a very skillful

physician, making a very searching ex-

amination, to locate the exact trouble,

but once it is found the removal of





‘this deadly focus will clear up the in:





fection as nothing olsiwill.

Itis 'a mistake to think that W_





 





 





 





ed teeth account for all the rheumatic

and arthritic pains of which people

complain. Many persons, acting on

this theory, have had good teeth re-

moved and bemoaned the absence of

beneficial. result. There are many

sources of infection quite apart from

the teeth. The poisonous agent is the

collection of pus and this will be true

wherever it may be located. It is aeg-

solutely imperative that it be remov

for not only does it give rise to dis-

tressing aches and pains, but it drags

down the whole system and does ser-

ious damage to the heart.





 





IODINE FOR GOITER.





 





My daughter, age fifteen, has rather

a large neck and I am afraid of goiter.

Please tell me if iodine taken inter-





nally is good. Is there anything bet-,





ter that we can apply ourselves?—

H. F.





In making experiments in a. certain

district where goiter was very com-

mon, it was found that giving thirty

grains of sodium iodid, twice a year,

How I GOt My Deer





T lze Expertence of One oft/1e C/uo Boy:





HE month of. November proves

to be the most interesting to the

man with a gun. It is at this time

of the year that a war is waged

against the monarch of the Michigan

woods, the deer. Every year thousands

of men leave their employment and go

in search of this animal. Thousands

of deer are killed every year but still

they are numerous, although the herd

is decreasing and will soon be extinct

unless the season will be closed for a.

few years.

I am a nimrod myself and every year

go_,in search of these quadrupeds. I

have not been very successful as a





or I succeeded in getting a very large

buck during the season of 1921. I

shall endeavor to relate to the boys





hunter of deer but somehow or anoth—'





By Russell Mackcy





how I succeeded in shooting this fine

specimen.



The first day of the deer season

found me roaming the woods in search

of game. Deer were plentiful but I

could not get within sight of the kind

I wanted. Small deer without horns

almost walked up to me but I would

not shoot them. Probably they knew

that the law warned any hunter against

shooting them and therefore‘they did

not fear me in the least.



,Each of my brothers succeeded in

shootings. five-pointed buck, and be-

cause of this I began to possess the

hunting fever more than ever.



At last my chance came. _ Ono fine

afternoon I decided to go out with my

brother to look around for signs. We

came upon the imprints of a large

a Dear Uncle Frank:





This is the first time I ever attempt-

ed to write to you, although I have

wanted to awfully bad.



My daddy has taken the Michigan





am sixteen years old. I do not

live on a. farm, but just moved off of

one last spring We ale renting a

house at Austin Corners and I tell





[you it’s some Village.





I am at home alone at present, and

have been all week, so I have to take

care of the house and four children,

the youngest not quite two years old,

(Uncle Frank, please excuse all mis-





gtakes, but this pen of mine has balky

.streaks and I forget and try to spell

‘words different than what they ought





to be), and we certainly do have a lot

of fun with him. He walks all over

and says everything.



The people next door have three

children and they have the whooping

cough.



I will tell you what we have for pets,

then I must quit my chattering, be-

cause once I get started I do not know

enough to stop. We have five cats and

one cow, and she is some pet.





Well, solong until next time. Your

niece, Gladys Knowlton, Davisburg,

Mich.





It must be that pen helped, as your

spelling was all' right. It must be nice

to live in “some village,” at least you

neighbors seem to have a whooping

time there.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I am sending you an answer. to your

puzzle. We do not get your paper, but

I read it at our neighbors. I really

like the Al Acres, and also the Cross-

Cut. Our neighbors have 3. Frank, and

I often thinks he looks like you,



I go to school every day. Am in the





sixth grade. We live on a sixty-acre

farm. I would like to have some of

the nieces and nephews write. Your

loving nephew, William Pants.



What does your neighbor’s Frank

look like. Is all his hair on his chin

and none on his head, or has he plenty

,on his head and none on his chin?

Tell me what he looks like and I’ll tell

you if you are a good guesser.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



May I join in, and be your nephew?

I have some tame rabbits, 3. cameia,

a violin, and had two pet doves but

they left one morning. My brother

and I went out with his twenty-two

rifle to see if we could shoot some

sparrows. We went in the chicken-

coop- and there was one of our tame

doves. My brother was going to shoot

it but it told him, “No.” So he set his

rifle down and caught it with his

hands. He grabbed it by the tail. It

tried to get away. All at once the

dove got away, leaving. in his hand a

handful of tail featheis, and the next

morning we went out but the dove did

not come back.



Well, I will close for this time. Ves-

per Butts, Clayton, Mich.





I am glad your brother did not shoot

the dove, although I bet it feels the

loss of its tail. You certainly can be

a nephew.





 





Dear Uncle Frank?



On Saturdays my brother and I have

a race to the mail box to get the Mich-

igan Farmer, which we all enjoy read-

ing. The first thing I look at is the

Boys’ and Girls’ page and when I see

the heading, “Read-.and-Win,” 'I .get

busy.



We have hot lunches again this term

at school, and I III: ethom'y'e cry much

buck. I was rather inquisitive and ask- ‘





ed my brother if the track was a fresh

one. He informed me that the deer





"had gone through about two hours





before.



Being aware that the deer had a good

startI décided to try my host in over-

taking him. Such a task proved to be

a very difficult one. The deer went

through places that'were almost im-

penetrable. At last I'arrived on a hill

overlooking a stream and spruce

woods. I descended this hill and cross-

‘éd to the hill on the other side of the

ravine. The sun began to near the

horizon so I‘ thought it best to start

back to camp. However, a. fine shot

presented itself. A partridge was sit-

ting under a. small balsam. I applied

the sight to him and pulled the trigger.

The result was that Mr. Partridge lost

its head.





I retraced my stops to the hill from

which'I started and after reaching my

destination I decided to follow the sum-

mit of the hill until I struck the trail

that led to the camp. I had a keen eye

on the country below me. At last my

eyes detected something that looked

like a pair of antlers. I looked a- sec-

ond time and being convinced that the

object’was a deer I raised my gun to

my shoulder and after getting a bead

on him I fired. The large monster fell

on his knees but was up in a second.

The sight pleased me so much that I

shouted, “I’ve got him.” The way I

descended that hill reminds me of a

hotly contested race. When I arrived

at the bottom of the hill I could not

locate the spot in which he was stand-

ing. After a hasty search I found it





and began to follow the retreat of the .





creature. \ No signs of blood could be

seen at first and I became disgusted,

because I thought I had missed the

target. At last specks of blood ap-

peared on the snow. This inoreased

my speed. I was practically on top pf

the animal before I detected it. It was

located in a small hollow and a close

examination disclosed that it had gone

to the Happy Hunting Grounds.





A very difficult task presented itself.

It was necessary for me to remove'lhe

entrails. At last I accomplished my

task and through this act covered my

hands and face with blood;



When I arrived at the camp I was

asked if I had shot a deer. I expected

.to keep this a. secret and would sur-

prise them later, and accordingly an-

swered “No.” My brother in return

replied, “Yes, you did. I can see some

blood on your face.” My hopes of

keeping this a secret were destroyed

and therefore admitted that I had shot

a. beautiful five-point buck.





I later weighed this deer and it prov-

ed to be a. very heavy one, weighing

181 pounds.

- Dear Uncle Frank:





I am a little city girl that wants to

join your happy cohnnn. I am twelve

years old and I am in 13-? grade. I

love the country very much. One“ time

when I was at my aunt’s house in

Washington I went out in the field to

pick berries and on my way back I

was lost in the cats field. I came out





on the other end and went back to the





house. My father has been a reader

of the Michigan Farmer many years,

and I also have enjoyed the boys’end

girls’ section. I remain, your mece,

Dorothy Wicks, 5064 Garland Avenue,

Detroit, Mich.



I think we are all very glad to have

you join us. Apparently it was so

way for you to get lost in the cat field

as it is for some folks to get lost in





the city.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I raised about a quarter of an acre

of" popcorn and got twenty bushels off

it. I also raised a half-acre of sugar

beets. I have caught three muskrats

already, but today the water is so high

that I can not find the traps. This

year I caught nearly thirty rats and I

got ten cents each. I hindered thirty

five acres of grain this year, and I

helped haul it in. My father raised

1,700 bushels of grain.



Well, I must stop as my letter is

getting too long. Another new nephew,

Erwin Helmrich, Bay City, Mich.



I hope you do well selling your pop

com. I think it is very nice that you

are interested in things which bring





you a profit.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I was very pleased when I came

home from school and found my map

lying on the table. I like it just fine.

I didn’t think I would get one. Now

I am going to try again. I took my

map to school. I am going to have the





/ teacher put it on the wall.





We have three kittens and one dog

for pets. We have lots of fun with

them. I like to need your letters in





main. as

Moos-ll,

ever, your loving niece, N

Mariette, Mich.



I like you- unselnshness in wanting

all of the school to get the benefit

from you-map. Imeyouareow

Acessful again. ‘





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I am answering your questions for

the first time. I am a boy fifteen years

old, and am a member of a calf club,

also a handicraft club. I received the

county championship last year and en-

joyed a week at Lansing. I have a calf

five months old. It eats oats, hay, and

most everything. I like to feed it

bran as it will eat it right from my

hand. I live on a 100-acre farm and

enjoy helping my father with the

work. Sincerely yours, Clarence B.

Braun.





Good for you. I hope you will add

other championships to your “BI: b0-

fore you quit.





 





A TRIED AND TESTED BAIL





 





BY JOHN O. ROBERTS.





Juice, and three or four drops of skunk,

«scent in place of rat scent.





   





In this

you also have a powerful lure equal to

and better than many patent lures ad-

vertised.



Use Just a couple of drops on a

small bunch of grass, or brush, placed

closeto the trap.



Never allow the muskrat bait to spill

in running water, as the fluid will





spread and float, thereby giving all,

the rats a taste and losing all their '





wish to get at it any more.





TH E PUZZLE SOLUTION.

peared in our November 18 issue,

correctly solved. In fact, a great many

more than I expected got the mixed

English straightened out and then





found the answer to the question. In

AUY have asked that Uncle

Frank’s picture be printed

in these columns, because they

want to see what the fellow they

are writing to looks like. All





on so far would spoil we page,

too none of them have been used.

Therefore, this week you are

asked to make a drawing of

What you think Uncle Frank

looks like. You can make this

picture funny or serious, just as

you like. Let your imagination

guide your pencil, and we’re sure

youcandoaswell asthecam-

era did, anyhow. The ten best

drawings will receive the usual

prizes: The first two, Michigan

:three, nickled pocket pencils,

and the last five, Michigan

caowmc mro A PURE-BRED

Hens. '





 





OME men achieve a pure-bred herd

of dairy cattle by the simple ex-

pedient of buying one ready made, and

then spending the rest of their lives

in the effort to maintain the herd, get

back the original investment, and pay

dividends upon the money invested.

The pure-bred business cannot be

learned over night, and offers no quick

road to wealth, even if it does hold

out the hope of good rewards for the

skilled stockman and business man.





Personally, I rather like John

Steele’s way of getting into the pure-

bred business. Just thirty years ago

he bought four registered Holstein

heifers, and has not bought a single

female since. Today he 'has one of

the large, good herds of the country. '



The female progeny of these four

heifers was carefully raised, and bulls

of extra good breeding and individual-

ity placed at the head of the herd.

Many of the daughters of these bulls

made most excellent A. R. 0. records,

as John Steele believed thoroughly in

giving every cow on his farm achance

to show what she could do.





Steele preferred the practical, cau-

tious methods of the everyday farmer

in his breeding operations. His testing

work was done under conditions which

the average farmer could duplicate.

High pressure methods found little fa.-

vor with him. But he was always alive

to improved methods of doing things.





This is shown by the readiness with

which he took up silage way back in





field experiments. Today, at the age

of seventy-five, he is still striving to

improve his methods. If he had to do

it all over again he probably would do

just as he did thirty years ago: start

small and grew larger.





 





When he got started in the dairy

business there was no good market for

milk, so Steele solved the difl‘iculty by

making cheddar_'cheese. His neighborsl/

offered to bring their milk also, so be-

fore very long he had a cheese factory

in {full operation. He continued this

until the coming of the condensaries

made the further operation unprofit-

ableg/ -

also the division of land between pas-

concerning the size, quality. and own—

of the business makes it necessary

that the landlord take an‘ interest in

Vexing problems may develop in con-

the division of receipts from swine and

poultry, the rental of pasture, and the

Another important phase comes ’up

when the tenant leaves the farm—the

division of jointly-owned live stock,

payment for feed left on the farm, and

for winter grain, fall plowing, manure

MILK AT TEN CENTS IN CHICAGO.





OVER two hundred grocery and del-

icatessen stores have announced a

price of, ten cents a quart on milk.

This is a cut of two cents (from the

former price.



The Milk Cooperative Marketing

Company, which is an organization of





Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan dairy'





farmers, make it possible for these

stores to sell at this price, as they will

deliver the milk to the stores at a price

which will enable them to make a fair

profit at ten cents.



It seems that this low price on milk

is another indication of the value of

cooperation. Undoubtedly the farmers

are getting just as good if not a better

price for milk than they have had be-

fore. . But they are eliminating a mid-

dleman and are passing on to the con-

sumer part of the saving thereby.





KEEP -HEIFERS GROWING.

ETURNS get our attention. Pos-





sibly for this reason the heifer

calves are unduly neglected. But this





stock should be kept growing normal-e





1y. With silage and clover or alfalfa

hay, one should feed each heifer-from

two to five pounds of farm-grown

grains per day. If no silage is avail-

able, feed two 'pounds of corn daily

with all the clover or alfalfa hay the

heifers will consume. With silage and

no legume hay, a good ration consists

of a portion of silage and fodder or

.mixed hay with a grain mixture con-

sisting of equal parts of corn and lin-

seed meal. ‘





\





FARMERS USE OLEO.





N a recent survey made in Jackson



county among the patrons of a

creamery it is found that fifty per cent

of them admitted to the use of oleo on

their tables. It is said that one oleo

manufacturer admitted to a dairy ex-

pert that if it wasn’t for the farmer

trade the oleo people would go out of

business. Thus it seems that many

dairy farmers are supporting their

strongest competitors.





WATCH THE BULL.





0 man trusts a tiger until it is



dead. A bull, although he uses

an entirely different method, can do

just as much damage as any animal in

the zoo or in the jungle. He is more

vicious and treacherous than most of

them, and with such a reputation no

man should trust him for a minute, no

matter what his record for good be-

havior has been. “Mean” bulls per-

haps have killed fewer men than those

considered safe. '



A bull led on a staff attached to the

ring in his nose may save a tragedy.

Better still, keep him in a pen so ar-

ranged that handling would not be nec-

essary at all. Plans for constructing

safe bull pens may be obtained from

the Department of Agriculture, Wash-

ington, D. C. Every farmer who owns

a bull would do well to put up this

warning\inr his barn: “Watch the

Bull.”',



NATIONAL MILK PRODUCERS’



MEETING. ‘





' (Continued from last week).

.5 anlténction Work in. New Yerk.

. ‘ ' < ' marks milk was





general ’ manager I of ”the, Dairym'en’s;

League Cooperativz‘ Association ’of"

Utica, New York. he league associ-

ation is not only‘ working to improve

thequantity of milk, but increas‘eits

sale in various ways. " During the war,

milk in the New York territory chang-

ed from grade C to grade" B. Much

advertising, is being done in the news-

papers to promote the sale of milk.

Billboard advertising in foreign lan-

guages is being done in the foreign

settlements of the city. In four years

the consumption of milk has increased

from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 quarts.



A bureau of nutrition has been or-

ganized. School children are receiv-

ing milk. It was found before this

campaign started that _many city chil-





dren were sent to school without any,





breakfast. Records show that the ef-

fect of drinking milk on children is

phenomenal. Fifty sales agencies have

been established for the distribution

of dairymen's league products in the

east. Sales agencies have also been

established in sixty-five foreign coun-

tries. Dairymen’s league products are

now sold in all nations. They are well

known in Palestine, and are on sale in

the heart of Africa.

Michigan’s Program.



The work of the Michigan Milk Pro-

ducers’ Association was described by

N. P. Hull, president of the associa-

tion. In the outset the distributors

were told that if they would play fair

the producers would play fair. The

contract provides that the dealers will

take no milk that does not come from

the Michigan Milk Producers’ Associa-

tion. The association gets two‘cents

per 100 pounds for selling, and has





$68,000 accumulated besides paying all.





expenses. A new plant is being built

to take care of the surplus. Small re-

ceiving plants will be started on the

outskirts of the terirtory to manufac-

ture the surplus. The producers and

distributors meet at conferences as

friends, and after five years of cooper-

ation they are better friends than ever.

The Turner Center System.



The New England Milk Producers’

Association plan was described by

.John S. Murdock, attorney for the as-

sociation. The Turner Center system

has been in operation in Maine for

many years. It was formerly coopera-

tive but for a long time has been oper-

ated by a company that has divided

the surplus earnings after paying op-

eration costs and a reasonable profit,

among the producers. The company

now has twenty-eight plants in the

country, and large plants in Boston,

Lynn, Lowell and Providence. In 1926

the Turner Center system will be farm-

er-owned. Five per cent of the milk

checks will be used to retire the pre-

ferred stock. It does a business of

$4,000,000 a year.





At Plymouth, N. H., is a creamery'





acquired by farmers, which has not

been so successful. Cooperative plants

designed to take care of cooperative

milk are established in several New

England cities. There are thirty-four

farmers’ cooperative creameries in

Vermont, all competing with each oth-

er except six which federate in hiring

a sales and a purchasing agent.



It is the purpose of the New Eng-

land association to organize all these

competing plants into one system, and

develop them until they control the

milk handling situation in New Eng-

land. Sentiment among the coopera-

tives is stroug for this consolidation

into one marketing enterprise.

, ‘shrlnkage'iWhich ' often (occurs in '

battle between the farm and the stack

yards. This shrinkage, however, Can

be reduced by proper feeding previous "





to the moving of ”the cattle,’and also in ~





the management during that period.

’Where- cattle have been fattened on

grain, and grass, it is advisable to

place them in a. dry lot a. day Or two

before shipping, and feed all the tim-

othy hay they will eat, and at the

same time out heavily on the grain"

ration. : _

Cattle fattened in a. dry lot on grain

and clover or alfalfa hay should be

changed to timothy hay at least twen-

ty-four hours before shipment, and

their grain ration should be reduced

at least fifty per cent. A full grain

ration should not be served the ani-

mals for at least twelve hours before

shipping. Some good cattlemen sub-

stitute oats for a portion of the grain

ration at this time. "

Where the animals are fed on silage,

clover or alfalfa hay and some nitro-

genous concentrate, it has been found

advisable to omit the nitrogenous con-





‘ce‘ntrate' for at least a day preceding





shipping. Timothy hay should also

displace the leguminous hay and the

silage should be cut to about one—third

the regular amount.



Handle the cattle quietly so that

they do not become excited or heated.





DEMAND FOR SHORTHORN

BULLS.





HE experience of S. H. Pangborn



Sons, of Bad Axe, would indicate-

that breeders and farmers in the state

are out looking for good Shrothorn

bulls. .Since June 1 they sold bulls to

Raymond Kerbyson, Deckerville; Roy

Little, Carsonville; Mathew Sproul &

John Horst, Akron;

R. C; Smith, Oxford; Thos. W. Shine,

Bad Axe; R. B. Wheeler, Snover, and

two to Palmer Bros., Beldlng. This

makes a total of nine bulls sold in

three months.

START PIG SURVEY.





HE United States Department of



Agriculture is starting its second

semi-annual pig survey, by the distri-

bution of fifty thousand questionaire

cards through the rural mail carrier.



Last year the survey covered only

seventeen states, but it proved of such

value that the entire country will be

covered this time. Each rural carrier

will receive ten cards or questionaires

which he will give out to the pig own-

‘ers on his route. These cards are in

simple form and can be filled out ina

few minutes. . -



The cards will show the number of

sows farrowed during the last six

months of 1921 and the number far-

rowed during the first six months of

1922, also the number farrowed or due

to be farrowed in the last six months

of 1922. They will also indicate the

number of sows bred to farrow during

the. first six months of 1922. The num-

ber of hogs which died‘ of hog cholera

or other diseases during 1921 and 1922

as 'well as the number of pigs saved

per litter. ‘



The department deems this survey

valuable as it will enable the farmers

to adjust their production to the needs

of the market. This is just one of the

steps which the department is taking

in furnishing the farm‘ producer Sta-

tistical information which will give

.him a better knowledge of the future

trend of the market, and its probable

needs. ~ y ~ - ' ‘ '

Nymphomania.——I have a Jersey cow

about eight or nine years old; bought

her one month before she came. fresh.

Some four weeks after she freshened,

she came in heat, it was too early to

breed her. Now she is in heat every

third day and remains in heat for two

days. She has been served several

times but fails to get with calf. What

can be done to cause her to come in

heat only once in three weeks? R. J.

W., Ravenna, Mich—Had you bred her

when she first came in heat she might

have gotten with calf. She now has

disease of the ovaries and this may be

formation of cysts (sacks containing

liquid), or of solid tumors or degener—

ations, or, more commonly than all,

the disposition of tubercle. She may

suffer from tuberculosis affecting the

ovaries. Your veterinarian can crush

ovarian cysts through the rectum and

vagina. After doing this she might

perhaps breed.



Diseased Molar Tooth—We have a

five-year-old horse that has a discharge

from one nostril, but commercial rem-

edies for colds, distemper and catarrh

fail to help him. No ulcerated patches

on membrane of nose, and I might add,

it has been more than two months

since I noticed anything wrong. L. A.

W., Hersey, Mich—If your horse was

suffering from simple case of nasal

catarrh a mucus discharge would come

from both nostrils; however, in this

case -you must hunt for an exciting

cause, such as a diseased molar tooth

with suplpurating root, the discharge

dripping into nasal chamber, and drop-

ping out of head. Examine mouth and

you will perhaps find the upper fourth

grinder tooth ulcerated; if so, have

your veterinarian extract it, then the

animal will soon recover. Flush nos-

tril with salt water, a teaspoonful to

each pint.



infectious Abortion—I have three

cows that have lost their calves, one

at the seven-month period, the other

two at six and a half months. All

three in seemingly good health. Can

you tell me what ails them? L. B. S.,

St. Johns, Mich—If they have no vag:

inai discharge, breed, them right away,

but if they have any discharge, flush

vagina, using one part lysol to 100

parts tepid water and treat them daily

until well. Most likely they will carry

their calves the full gestation period;

however, you should clean and disin-

fect. your cow barn and keep it clean.

If your cows are of good stock, don’t

beef them.





Congested Quarter.—Heifer due to

freshen next July, one—quarter of ud-

der and teat are congested and hard.

J. F. W., St. Clair, Mich—Give her a

tablespoonful of fluid extract of phy-

tolacca at a dose three times a day

and cut down her grain ration. If her

bowels are costive, feed roots and salt

her daily. ‘



Lice—My cattle are troubled with

lice, mostly on their backs. R. C.,

Capac, Mich—Apply one part vinegar

and ten parts raw linseed oil, occasion-

ally.



Robert Garrod, Lawrence, Mich.——-

.Try the 'yeast treatment. Directions:

Drop a cake of fresh compressed yeast

into one quart of tepid water, let it

stand in warm room for, two hours,

then inject it into vagina. Apply this

treatment daily for one week before

cow comes in heat, and always three

hours before service. In my practice

I usually wash out vagina with soap

and water before commencing treat-

ment. A fountain syringe is what is

required to apply this treatment. Vac-

cination (with living cultures) is con-

sidered good treatment for these kind

of cases.





M. K., Alma, Mich.——-Is the milk from

% cow that has aborted fit for use?

es. .



Garnet—Have a. cow that will fresh-

en next month which gives clotted

milk from one teat. Is there danger

of quarter caking? J. E. N., Mt. Bing,

Ark—Apply one part fluid extract of

phytolacca and six parts of olive oil



twice a day. , .



Diarrhea—For the past two weeks

WHEAT





The advance in the wheat market

which has progressed irregularly for

five weeks has been checked in the

last few days. Although milling de-

mand in the northwest continues brisk,

at southwestern points it has subsided

noticeably. Foreigners are absorbing

wheat quietly right along, especially

Manitobas, with wheat for immediate

shipment at a sharp premium in spite

of the enormous Canadian movement.

Italy has bought durum and it has ad-

vanced sharply in the last two weeks.

Italy needs about 72,000,000 bushels in

the next eight months. Germany re-

mains the leading buyer of wheat and





rye.



CORN

The west from Colorado to the

coast, the southwest and the south





have continued to buy freely in the

corn belt, outbidding Chicago in Iowa

and Illinois as they have done for sev-

eral weeks, but eastern demand has

tapered off. Export-buying has been

negligible, although it now shows

signs of revival. Shortage of feed in

the area affected by drouth, and the

unusual number of cattle to be winter-

fed in Nebraska and adjacent territory

together with the record number of

lambs in Colorado feedlots are some

of the factors underlying the situation.

Freight rate reductions to the coast

and in Mississippi barge lines have





helped sales. ‘

OATS





_ Although primary receipts of oats

' _,are above the average for this time of





that the rate of disappearance is above





normal. _



SEEDS



. About fifty per cent of the red clover



seed and sixty-five per cent of the al-



ke to be sold by growers had‘left



r hands bysNovember _1, according

c t survey, by in, enartment





 





of_agriculture. The movement has

been at about the same rate as a year

ago. Prices are materially higher this

year‘ with seedsmen anxious to buy.

Producers now show a disposition to





hold

FEEDS





The feed market is unsettled, with

price changes small, .but advances

seem to predominate. Cold weather

has caused another spurt in demand

but heavier offerings, especially of

Wheat feeds, have largely offset it. Pro-

duction, particularly of corn feeds, is





rather heavy.

. HAY





Small advances in hay prices oc-

curred last week. Receipts and coun-

try loadings are light in spite of an

easier car situation and local demand

is fairly good.





r POULTRY AND EGGS





Sudden expansion in the receipts of

fresh eggs caused a sharp setback in

the market last week. It is probable

that consumption has been curtailed

also. No sustained increase in the

supply is probable, however, for-an-

other month so that the market may

recover the loss, although the fact that

prices are near the top should be rec-

ognized. Receipts of poultry have not





   





expanded yet this fall in proportion to

the reported increase in production,

and with holiday demand at hand, the

BUTTER





Current receipts of butter at the

leading, markets in the last two weeks

dropped to the lowest level in a year.





Although the market is encountering





more opposition right along, it ad:

vanced into new high ground with

gains ranging from two to three cents

per pound. Production is decreasing

as shown by reports to the American

Creamery Butter Manufacturers’ As-

sociation and the decline in receipts

of about twenty-fiveper cent compar-

ed with two weeks ago has more than

offset the falling off in consumptive





Prices on 92-score fresh butter were

- Although shipments of potatoes from

producing sections have fallen off

sharply. in the last four weeks, arriv-

als at. the principal consuming “131,“,

kets continue heavy, although there

has been a moderate falling off in the





last ten days. Prices are beginning to .

recover in midwestern cities and at ,





northern shipping points although

Weakness prevails in the east. Further

recovery‘ seems probable in the next

Sixty days. Northern whites are quot-

ed at 75c@$1.25 in city markets, and

WOOL‘





The London wool auction opened

last week with merinos quoted five per

cent, 10wer, fine cross-breds~a shade

higher and coarse and medium cross-

breds five to ten per cent higher than

at the October sale. Australian mar-

kets also show strength. Prices in this





country were affected by the trend





abroad although country stocks are

practically all cleaned up except Texas

fall-shorn, which have sold as high as

forty-seven cents, or about twice as

high as last year.





APPLES





Cold storage holdings of barreled

apples on November 1 comprised 4,-

012,000 barrels, the largest number

ever reported on that date. Boxed ap-

ple holdings were 4,094,000 boxes, as

compared with 5,464,000 last year and

a five-year average of 3,463,000 boxes.

With boxed apples reduced to their

equivalent in barrels, total holdings

were 5,377,000 barrels, the largest for

that date on record. The five-year av-

erage is 9,938,000 barrels. Receipts of

apples remain liberal with prices prac-

tically unchanged for the week. Bald-

wins are quoted at $3.50@4.50 in mid-





western cities, with‘Greenings at $3.75 ..

BEANS '





The bean market has been more sta-

ble recently with choice. hand-picked

whites holding close to $6.90 per 100

pounds f. o. b. Michigan shipping

points. Growers are not pressing the

market and the period of urgent sell-

ing is over while demand shoWs no

special snap, although the weather is

favorable for bean consumption. The

approach of tax assessment date in

California caused a little pressure from

that section for a while.

Potatoes, pumpkins, squash and on-

ions are still slack on the market. The

demand, however, for apples has be-

come more active since the big or-

chard hauling is over. The Vegetable

oyaht. hogs ..h" a, smart ’reoOvery:

and thus far have held above the mon-

ey losing level, all finished cattle ar-

riving are showing excellent returns,

cotton after a moderate setback start-

ed upward again, the hay market he

gan to climb out of the rut, and pota-

toes, which have been in the worst

condition of any important farm prod-

uct this fall, began to show real im-

provement.



The car shortage is being relieved.

The latest statistics, which are for

nearly two weeks ago, show a small

decline in the number of unfilled or-;

dcrs for cars and a falling all of about;

six per cent in freight car loadings.

from the peak of the year. 5.



General business and industry are

prospering. Steel mills are operating

at about eighty per cent of capacity

and consumption is keeping pace, auto;

output for November is about the same

'as in October when a record for that

month was attained, building activities

are well sustained, and textile mills

are using up raw material about as

fast as they! ever do. In these lines

further improvement is not to be ex-

pected but any reaction may be offset

by advances in other directions.



Foreign conditions are not growing

worse, although there is little better-

ment to record. However, sterling ex-

change is at nearly the highest level

of the year, francs are sixteen per cent f

higher than two weeks ago, and Italian;

lira are near the best level since J une.‘



Proposed government aid to extend

the markets for farm products is re-;

ceiving much attention. Some benefit,

may be hop-ed for although it will be;

slow in arriving. Facilitation of ex-

port trade through extending the pow-

ers of the War Finance Corporation

to permit discounting drafts probably

on a ninety-day basis on sales abroad

when endorsed by a reliable foreign

importer and the government of the

foreign country, seems to be a most

feasible plan.

OLE, ankle, instep, heel—it’s at one

of these 4 places boots get their





hardest strain.





And weakness at any one of them will

rob you of wear you ought to get!





‘ The big reason for the remarkable

strength, long wear and “stand up”

qualities of “U. S.” Boots is the fact that





their makers have built into them at"





every one of these ‘4 vital points the

strongest kind of reinforcements.





Made throughout of the finest quality

of fabric and tough rubber, U. S. Boots

are backed up at the “wearing points”

by 7 to 11 extra thicknejses. And they’re

so built that all this extra, wear is gained

without losing the ease and flexibility

you need.





Rugged strength

at the 4 vital, points





—that’s why “U. S.” Boots give such long wear





, The diagrams at the left will show you





the details of the finest boot construc-

tion experts have yet been able to de—

vise. 75 years of bootmaking experience

are behind it. " ‘





Other .“U. S. ” Footwear—all built

to give thevutmost service





You’ll find every type of rubber foot-

wear in the big U. 5. line. There’s the

U.~S. Walrus, the famous all-rubber

overshoe-the U. S. lace Bootee, a

rubber workshoe for spring and fall——

U. S. Arctics and Rubbers—all styles

and sizes for the Whole family. Look

for the “U. S.” trademark—the honor

mark of the oldest and largest rubber

organization in the world.
