It is a measure of the chief executive’s knowledge and interpretation of the conditions exist- ing ill the country which must be met by the people of any or all classes, and his judgment as to the legislation re- quired to stabilize those conditions for the benefit of the country and 'its people. President Harding’s recent message to congress at the opening of the reg— ular December session is perhaps the best demonstration of real leadership in this regard which he has given. Among the numerous recommenda- tions which are made in the message are the following, which we believe are for the most part in harmony with rural thought in this state: Strict enforcement of the Volstead act as a means of eliminating a na- tional scandal and definitely ascer- taining the trend of public sentiment on the liquor question, which he be- lieves to be in harmony with the act.

A few vociferous individuals, howev- er, go on repeating, witllout facts to uphold their claims, that the volume of liquor consumed, is not only being maintained, but actually increasing. One of these, a father, approached an employe of this office one day last week and repeated his story. To em- phasize his claims, he added that an- other father who ”had always kept his sons from saloons, had, since prohibi- tion became effective, converted his cellar into a brewery, and that now every member of the family was a con- sumer of intoxicants. To this the em- ploye made leply: “I voted for prohibition,” said the employe, “To protect your son, this man’s son and every other man’s sons uch those of his his own heme to do own blood, then, I eel, that society has done its duty and the parent will have. to answer for what follows.” AST' Saturday eve ' - ry grocery store Div 31:1)an for anumber of blocks t e ome in the busiest section . Market of Grand ,River ave- nue, in Detroit Was, visited to find eating apples which had been grown in Michigan. Apples were offered in large quantities, but not a single one could be found that had ripened on Michigan’s hills. In every store the clerks referred to boxes which had been packed two thousand miles away and shipped near- ly across the continent under a heavy transportation tax to successfully compete with the home-”grown product. That this competition was successful is testified to by the fact that Michigan stock has been entirely crowded off these retail markets in a season when thousands of bushels were never re- moved from the orchards in which'they grew. ‘ The western growers are not mak- ing money. When all charges are counted out, they are realizing less than Michigan farmers got at the cider mills. But that is not the point. The western fellows are taking advantage of this heavy crop: year to place their fruit before the consuming public. Every avenue known to the progres- sive salesman is being used by these business farmers. As a consequence the retail stores located in a state famed for its luscious apples are not only not offering Michigan stack, but are crying down the home-grown ap- ples in favor of those brought from the other side of the Rockies. Michigan fruit is superior in quality to the western product. It is perfectly easy to convince any person of this. If Michigan growers were getting for their stock the prices being paid for the western. apples they would be able even in a. year like the present, to realize a margin -of profit.

L Michigan has'been little known as analfalfa seed-growing state, and al- ; "Q ‘ falfa seed production east of the Mis- siaSippi has long been thought imprac- tical, but these three townships com- pare vei’y favorably with the best al- fa'lfa seed sections of Montana, Idaho . and South Dakota in yield per acre '“*-and quality of seed. In fact, the yield is cansiderably higher this year than is usual in the northwestern ’states named. The seed is freefrom dodder and Russia thistle, and but little sweet clover is present. The” native -—weed . seeds are of a kind easily removed. A great advantage of this Michigan- grdwn seed is that it comes from alfal- fa which has been grown locally for more than thirty-seven years, and is thoroughly adapted to Michigan’s cli— ‘ mate. This 1emarkable increase in alfalfa seed production Will astonish Michigan farmers, but it is not at all astounding to the Michigan farmers mostly of old French descent who produced the seed; for did not Clement LeBeau, of Frenchtown township, begin harvest- ing alfalfa seed thirty-seven years ago, and have not they all been growing seed to meet their’needs from the same stock since? It is true, they thought Clem LeBeau crazy. when he first took up alfalfa and for several years they called him the “alfalfa hound,” but Le- Beau met with such success With‘alfal- fa that after a few years his neighbors came to him for seed and practically all of the big crop in Monroe county. is either directly from the LeBeau farm or from those who trace their seed to that source. 7 ‘ Not until the past few years has alfalfa seed been produced in consid- erable amounts, but enough .seed was harvested annually for local demands and when good seasons came alfalfa seedwas put on the market, some be- ing handled ‘by Michigan seed com- panies but much of it going to Toledo, where 'it was absorbed by the general trade. It is regrettable that Clement LeBeau is not alive today to experi- ence the justifiable satisfaction which ' comes to those whose efforts do good, not only to their neighbors, but are of far—reaching. benefit.

Enthusiasm for the Development of Alfalfa in Monroe County Has Done Much rtolDevelop igan farmers had not Mr. Delmont L. Chapman and Mr. R. C. Vivian, of South Rockwood, interested a number 'of seed growers and called a meeting addressed by Mr. Nicolson and Mr. Renwick, of 'the State Farm Bureau, early in November. As a result of this meeting local trade was benefited and M‘iChigan farmers will have additional opportunity to secure an extensive lot of sound Michigan-grown seed. Following are statements by some of the growers and threshermen made to the writer during a recent visit to the seed growing section of Monroe county: Delmont L. Chapman, of South Rook- wood, secured forty bushels of seed this year from eleven acres. This is ‘ the third year that seed has been out. Mr. Chapman’s alfalfa came originally from the LeBeau farm. .0. E. Reaume, of Newport, secured a yield of 102 bushels from twenty-one acresr His seed originally came from the LeBeau stock fifteen years ago. His oldest field is seven years old. \ Dennis Reaume secured forty-six bushels from twenty acres. A. L. Berns, of Newport, got forty bushels from seventeen acres. His seed originally came from Clem Le- ‘Beau’s stock. ’4 F. S. Masserant, of Newport, har- vested one hundred bushels from forty acres. Mr. Masserant has been grow- iniseed covering a period of thirty. years. He has always sown his own seed for the last thirty years and se- ,‘cured the original stock from Clem LeBeau. . C. Brancheau; of Newport, secured a yield of fifty bushels from eighteen acres. The seed was originally secur- god from Clem LeBeau’s farm. -Dan Cousino, of Newport estimates ' seventy-five the New Michigan Industry. branching, viney growth in the case of Grimm. Duff Vinier, _of Newport, reports twenty—six bushels from. nine acres. His seed originally came from old Le- Beau stock. Bennie Fix, of Newport, estimates that he will secure from seventy-five to one hundred bushels from sixty acres. Mr. Fix is fanning the old Clem LeBeau place, owned by Mr. Jim Le- Beau, and has the original seed secur— ed by Mr. LeBeau thirty—seven or. more years ago. Mr. Fix has been on the LeBeau place for the past ten years and has taken a seed crop each year. He estimates his average yield as three bushels penacre. Tony Coons, of Carlton, states his yield as nineteen bushels from seven acres. Jim Shinovar, of Rockwood, harvest- ed thirty bushels from twenty acres. He has grown the LeBeau alfalfa for sixteen years. 7 John Bodermiller, of South Rock- wood, has been growing LeBeau seed for sixteen years, with an average of two bushels per acre. He expects to get twenty—nine bushels from eighteen acres this year. Phillip’ Sourraut harvested twenty- nine bushels from eight acres, (old Le- Beau stock). John Robeits thieshed one hundred bushels from thirty- five ac1 es (old Le- Beau stock). F. Niedemier, of Rockwood, has se- cured sixty bushels from thirty acres (LeBeau seed). There are many more who have pro- duced seed this year and during the past ye,‘ar but the above list can be taken as a typical statement of yields- The threshermen of the district state that they have been handling alfalfa Seed in small amounts for many years onroe County More Man/Seven T demand Bush/5 of Seed Harverted flow: 0/4 Stone Alfalfa of T dirty-seam Years’ Mzcflzgan History _ By]. F. Cox, but that during the past two years the seed crop has been a large one. Mr. J. Druyor, of Newport, a veteran thresherman rounding-out a half cen- tury of threshing this year, says that his season’s run will be in excess of one thousand bushels, all of which he believes came from the Clem LeBeau, source. Mr. Druyor has been growing alfalfa for the past thirty-seven years. 'He secured his original seed from Mr. LeBeau. This year he threshed forty- eight bushels from twenty acres. Mr. Charles Westenova, of South Rockwood, has threshed over 1,000 bushels and expects to thresh about 1,500 before the season closes. Last year he threshed 1.700 bushels of al- falfa seed. He states that he has been threshing some'alfalfa for the past fif- teen years and that during the past two years the crop has creased. Vii. C. J. Sova, of Newport, expects to thresh over 1,500 bushels of "alfalfa seed this year. There are four other threshermen in . the district, so that seed produced this year will easily run from 7,000 to 9,000 bushels. -Practically all fields trace their origin back to the Clem LeBeau stock. The exact source from which Clem LeBeau secured his seed is not known. Mr. Chapman states that the Rev. Wesley Loose first grew alfalfa near Newport and that possibly Mr. LeBeau got seed from him. William Niedemier claims that his father brought alfalfa seed from Germany fifty “or sixty years ago. Mr. C. J. Sova states that his uncle, Mike Sova, brought seed from Colorado thirty-five or forty years ago. It is certain, how- ever, that the LeBeau seed has been grown for more than thirty-five years in Frenchtown and Berlin townships. Mr. LeBeau died ten years ago. His son, Jim LeBeau, of Newport, states that alfalfa of the original stock has been grown on the home place for more than thirty-five years, but he does not know from what source his father got the miginal seed The hardiness of the LeBeau seed under Michigan conditions is assured and this homegrown seed from a strain of known dependability is worth as much to Michigan farmers as common alfalfa seed from the northwestern dis- tricts. Mr. J. W. Nicolson, of the state (Continued on next page). HE KNOWS HIS SOIL. STEPHEN SHEPARD, of East Jor- dan, is ever watching for materials with which to improve his soils.

They haVe proven that in favorable years alfalfa seed production pays’ well; in fact, the seed crap is the most paying crop of the county. \ir’ithout doubt seed production will spread to many other regions in Mich- igan. In addition to the Monroe dis- trict, seyeral farmers of St. Clair coun- ty have secured three bushels or more per acre for the past two or three Last year the . acres this year. of eastern Michigan. TheSe soils are heavy clays, clay loams and silt loams Well charged with lime and the min- eral elements‘of fertility and are high in organic matter. At the Michigan Agricultural Col- lege, Professor EA. Spragg has been securing. promising yields on light sandy soils for the past fourteen years and has developed the Hardigan, a high-yielding seed strain. Of this strain Mr. 01:11 Nelson, of Aloha, Che- boygan county, harvested on light loam, eight and one-quarter bushels of seed from an acre last year and esti- mates that he will have thirty-five bushels of Hardigan seed from seven Hardigan will be available in considerable quantity next year since over 150 acres are being grown by members of the Michigan Crop Improvement Association and will come into the second year next .. sp1ing. The alfalfa crop will be on a much well extend on the id lake bed autism.

However, not ;more than eight per cent of the demands of Michigan- farmers can be filled with crop is sold in the state, and most of our crop-must be plapted with north- western-grown Grimm and hardy com- mon alfalfa from the northWest. Without doubt-The early cutting of the first crop .and the application of two or three hundred pounds per “acre of sixteen per cent acid phosphate, or of bone-meal will greatly stimulate seed production. ‘ Fields in their third or fourth year or older, usually giv'e' the best seed yields.

It is usual- to take‘ the second cutting for seed in Michigan but in, years when the late Spring andearly summer sea- son'favors the heavy development of bloom, as is usual in dry seasons, the first cutting may make the heaviest yield of seed. The crop is cut when the seed pods are well browned, with a mo‘wer with buncher attachment.

Seed production in Michigan on a commercial scale is not a “flash in the pan” and apparently Michigan is estab—* lished as an alfalfa seed producing state and may in the future become important in seed production.

Moxe and more are the fa1me1s of Michigan coming to realize that the International is a real school labor- atory. Here they can don their aprons and put in and get out every bit as much in practical information for their own business of farmin as can the farmers of any other state in the whole nation. This has not been so fully ap- preciated as now. The winners in the hay and grain department have done much to bring home to a host of our farmers these educational advantages. And Michigan’s winnings with this year's hay and grain exhibits is just as outstanding as during the past two seasons. Our farmers won in spite of the fact that every other interested state and the Dominion have gone af- ter the premiums with determination since Michigan made such a wonderful showing two years ago.

Together with the prizes captured by farmers of the state who sent crop exhibits to the hay and grain show, these winnings placed Michigan in a position of supremacy among all the states represented at the annual expo- sition, which has come to be the na- tion’s agricultural classic.

' Never before in the history of the live stock shows and expositions has there been brought together such an abundance of high-class cattle exhibit— ed as at this year’s International. In all there were 2,310 entries, of which 1,725 were breeding animals and 585 fat steers and heifers. Apparently the tail-enders were pretty much left at home. The fat stock was remarkably uniform in size and conformation as well as finish and quality. The fat animals all'through the cattle show‘ ' possessed a wonderful depth of flesh and smoothness in finish The Sher-thorns. . sixth, and Sanders Farm, of Eaton Rapids, tenth in the fat stock classes. The Angus. Breede1s of Angus cattle did not pile up the entries as did the Shorthorn and Heref01d crowds. The quality, however, was particularly good, old followers of the ring declaring that no, Angus show ever surpassed in uni- formly high excellence, the one of this year. Competition was close in most of the classes. Michigan herds com- ing within the winnings were those of W. E. Scripps, of Orion; Woodcote Stock Farm, of Ionia, and the Michigan AgricultUral College. , Carlot Divisions. Oneof the greatest features of the live stock exposition was the showings. in the cariot divis-ons. Shorthorns and Herefords numbers, and although the entries of Angus were fewer they took away the coveted honors of the show.

Even greater to his honor this year is the fact that all the . Angus in his champion lot were bred by himself. Edward P.

The yearlings in the yards sold at an average of $16.93, the range being from $16 to $18.50. at an average of $16.70. There were eightynfour loads of fat cattle, nine of short-fed and twelve of feeders. THE SWINE SHOW.. This year’s exhibits equaled in many departments those of former years, al« though as a whole it was not as large as in 1921. In’ all, 1,146 entries were madehwith 616 in breeding classes and 532 in fat classes. It appeared to be the general opinion among swine men that fewer tail—enders Were in. the pens this year than at any previous ses- sions of the great International. The college exhibits were especially good in this department. Duroc-Jerseys. The Duroc people had 119 animals entered in breeding Classes and 131. in the fat classes, this being the largest number of entries for any breed of Exhibitors were largely from the east. The majority of entries were prize winners at other fairs and ex- positions. Grand champion boar was awarded to Chesney Farm, Lake Villa, Illinois, on Sensation Improver, while grand champion [sow went to Mahan &\Neff, of Osborn, Ohio, on Miss Pal' Perfection 2nd. The M. A. C. was the only exhibitor of this breed from Mich- igan, and the entries were in the win- ning twice in the fat classes. The grand champion barrow was a Duroc exhibited by the Oklahoma College.

At the end we have located a two- f00t spool or drum. On this spool ‘are wound sprocket - chains which are spread on the spoolvto the same width as the gutter in the stable, There are ,fifty feet of the chain wound around the spool at the rear end of the gutter all the time. This is unwound when we clean the stable. / ‘ Another fifty foot of chain, with cleats on about every two feet apart, lays-in the bottom of the gutter all the time. 7 Then there is enough additional chain to attach to another two—foot spool in the manure shed. The two spools are attached to shafts with gears. The gears are operated with a gasoline engine. " When we clean the stables we sweep the litter into the gutter and then start , the engine and watch the manure move out into the manure shed. This takes about. a minute. Then we reverse the gear and wind the surplus chain on the spool at the rear of the gutter. This leaves the cleated part in the bottom of the gutter ready for cleaning the barn again. We find this a very convenient way to. disposevof the manureand there is nothing for\the cows to kick at if: they are so disposed. The outfit is also sanitary—Charles T. Schineeding, Oce- ana County. ’ A CONVENIENCE IN OPERATING ‘ ' ' STABLE DOORS. Y having a hand-hole in barn doors _ where stock is apt to rubvthe doors open, I can be assured that the doors M 'are securely hooked on the inside. This also makes it easy to open the doors fr0m_ either side. This Often saves many steps as one is frequently re- quired to go around the barn ‘in’order to get, through a door. ' I mark out on the door where the hand-hole is to be inserted. I then cut across the top (if this hand-hole, put on the hinge and then saw out the re- maining‘portion. On the bottom the cut is beveled to keep storms from beating in. A knob is bolted on the bottom of the outside to make open- ing more convenient.-——E. Glen Fuller, ' ‘ Washtenaw County. SAVES- STEPS. ERE is a little suggestion which saves me many steps during the course of a year. I carry two pails of slop to the barns. I button the lantern to one suspender and an empty pail to another. By this means I can handle all four items at the one trip—Ed. Elson, Berrien County. MICHIIGA'N HAS LARGEST FARM. BUREAU MEMBERSHIP. ACCORDING to information secured at the American Farm Bureau Federation offices by Clark L. Brody, state manager of the Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan has the largest paid— up farm bureau membership of any state in the Union. This is indeed good news, as it‘indicates, in a way ‘ the success of the recent county farm bureau membership drives. MICHIGAN SEED OUTY_IELDS OHIO- GROWN SEED. IGHTY members of the Morrow , County Farm Bureau of Ohio test- ' ed seed potatoes ‘with their own this past season. They purchased one and a half cars of the Michigan seed stock. All of the reports are not in, but the first, seven to be received, gave an av- erage yield of 142 bushels to the acre from Michigan seed as compared to 102 bushels to the acre from the Ohio grown seed. As to marketability, nine- ty per cent of the Michigan seed crop was saleable, while only sixty-nine per cent of the crop grown from Ohio seed were of market standard. / ‘flg—a—‘fiiflfi!§;— ' \\ : \“ ; Wiping a joint ‘ HEN , two pieces of lead pipe are to be- made into one continuous tube, the‘ plumber melts a piece of solder and. applies it to the joint, using a cloth pad to cover his hand.

I am the renter of a farm and would . like to know if I have a right to sell the straw. There is nothing mention- ed about it on'the lease—J. B. If J. B. is paying money rent, he has the right to sell the straw, If he is _renting on shares and the contract amounts toa lease, the same is true. If the contract amounts to a hiring, payable in a share of what is produced, the probabilities are that he would be entitled to demand his share of the I straw. For that purpose it would be necessary to examine the wording of the contract.—Rood. GRASSES FOR LOW LAND. Some time ago I read in the Michi- 1 gan Farmer of a combination of seeds for low land This mixtuie consisted , of two pounds of red top, six pounds 'of orchard grass and six pounds of alsike clover pe1 acre. I have some low land to seed down. I bought the seed, but since doing so several per- sons have advised me not to sow the red top. They say cows will not eat ‘ the hay, and that it is more diflicult to get rid of than quack grass. How about it?-—G. H. Red top has a very wide range of adaptability, being the least sensitive of the cultivated grasses to soil acidity and the lack of drainage: It is also. one/of the best grasses to beans are usually to be preferred on this type of soil. It is likely because that a small amount of red top was sow on poor, run-down land; however, , legumes such as sweet clover and soy-. of the very wide range of adaptability ‘ It is true that red’ top is not as pal- : stable or-well liked by live stock as Kentucky' bluegrass, timothy and or- chard grass. While red top forms a fairly dense sod, it is not nearly so difficult to eradicate as quack and should not "be classed as a pest with quack grass—Q. R. Megee, Associate. in Farm Crops, M. A. C. OLEANDER FAILS TO sLosSOM. s. I have a lovely Oleander plant which refuses tb blossom the last two years. Last summer I repotted it, using rich soil, but it did not bloom. It grows all the timeand looks healthy. It is a. fine large plant about six feet in height. I do not know~what to do for it.—-Miss M. D. I think all the plant needs is a rest. Without knowing what season of the year the plant was repotted, I infer that the plant has been kept in a con- dition of activity and my suggestion would be that either a. change of tem- perature, or withholding water for a time—not altogether because it is an evergreen plant—be given. The plant should not be kept saturated. The temperature should be IOWer instead of higher. If these conditions can be given to it at this time, it would not necessarily flower as freely next summer as it would if the rest had been more nat- ural pr for a prolonged period.—-Thos. Gunson. PLANNING THE HOG PASTURE. I am planning crops for feeding the young pigs next summer until the corn is ready to hog down. I will have about sixty head and no clover nor corn to feed‘them. What spring crops can I sow, and approximately 110w .many acres will it take to run this number of pigs through?—L. O. .W. Sow a couple of acres of oats and peas thickly as early .as the condition of the soil will permit. Follow with about the same acreage of Hubam clo- ver, sown broadcast, ten pounds .per acre. About corn planting time sow two or three acres more to dwarf Essex rape, four pounds per acre in drills, or seven pounds per acre broadcast. On good soil this should furnish suf- ficient forage for sixty pigs from wean- ing time until corn is ready. Some grain in addition will be necessary, however, for satisfactbry results. The home-grown supply of grain may be provided much earlier by growing some barley and oats. They will be ready to thresh and grind a month or six weeks ahead of the earliest corn.— Pope. REMOVAL OF LIGHTING SYSTEM. A base farm for sale or trade. BI trades with him. The summer previ- ous to trading his farm A has a light- ing system put in the house. The party putting it in took A’s note for $375 without other security than A’s and his wife’s signatures. A stated at the time he traded his farm that his'light— mg system was not paid for, otherwise nothing more was said concerning it. Can the party that put the plant in take it out without B’s consent?—L. B. If there was-no agreement between A and the seller of the system, that title should remain in the seller until the purchase price was paid, the title paSsed to B with "the farm’,~but if there Was an j agreement that title, should remain in the seller of the light- ing system until paid for and B knew \ that the purChase price had not been paid, the seller would have the right to take the lighting system but unless thetpurchase price was paid provld' , . r! .. “‘“By.T F ECENTLY I had the pleasure of calling at Lake View Farm, El- mire township, Otsego county, the' home of' Ernest Pettifor, thenian who won first ‘priz‘e'on Petoskey Rural ? Russet potatOes at the ' International 5 Potato Show at Duluth, Minn, on No- vember 3-4-5, 1922. . Mr. Pettifor answers very well the " _ question so often asked of the devel- opment-bureau, as to whether a man can come to northern Michigan ‘and take up a piece of wild land and make good. ’Mr.‘ Pettifor, in 1887, arrived in Elmira township, Otsego county, with not the slightest knowledge of farm— inI in. fact, his training before had been as gentleman’s personal valet in Eng- land where he came in touch with the highest class of people of England. He Marston lake when sawing white pine logs forty years ago. In the shop was also a mill for grinding all. the grain for the live stock, and graham flour for the house- hold. » . Being a rainy day when we called, most of the‘ family were engaged in cleaning up various odd jobs which are always to be found -on a farm, but preparations were going on in the sit- ting-room to print a lot of pictures from the negatives taken by some members of the family. The house, a large, well- constructed building, was erected by Mr. Pettifor himself; from timber cut off the land. It was finished in solid oak and cherry. The finishing lumber was worked out by his own hand, though" he had no knowledge of building or carpentry. Mr. Pettifor Shows Some of His Prize-winning Potatoes. He is Also a Good Dairyman, Poultryman and Apiarist. however, had a liking for the out-of- doors and farming,~ and determined to learn. He found a partially cleared forty and paid $160 for it, then mar- ried. To his wife, of course, must be given much credit. for the success which he has achieved. ‘ As to his various struggles in learn- ing the farming game it is not neces- sary to relate. He was built of the right stuff. On my visit I found a farm family which one can almost imagine as being sufficient ’ unto themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Pettifor have eleven .fine boys and girls, some grown, one being a married daughter who lives on a dif- ferent part of the farm in the old or- iginal home. Mr. Pettifor is of medium height, rather slender, uses splendid language and is a most interesting conversation- alist. His versatility was demonstrat- . ed to us when we found him knitting himself a sweater; not just an ordi- nary sweater but one in which any knitter, however expert, might take pride. Commenting on this we were shown a photograph ofvpractically all of the family knitting during war time. .The family is now engaged in run- mug a dairy of fifteen well-bred cows. Recently they have placed 3. Register» ed Jersey bull at the head of the herd. They preduce honey on a moderate scale and have a winter bee cellar con- structed by3themselves which. seems to be, so far as my knowledge is con- cerned, of the latest design and ap- proved type. A hen house, also built after approved plans, houses a large 11-001: of beautiful White Leghorns. The machinery was up-to-date,’ the tool hofise was supplied with a full line of carpenter’s tools, and even some ma- , . chinery operated by the tractor. Here Yet no carpenter could find fault with any part of his construction work. He erected all his buildings and .taught himself blacksmithing, having a well equipped shop which he bought of a lumbering concern when it went out of business in that particular lo- ,cality. The farm is beautifully situated on rolling la’nd. » There is a small lake on the farm and near the house and a larger one not far away which furnish- es most excellent fishing. Mr. Pettifor agrees with what has been stated so many times that under normal conditions one crop of potatoes often pays not only the cost of raising but also the original cost of the land. Certified seed potatoes have brought Mr. Pettifor fame as well as financial prOfit. " On their farm they also'operate a sugar bush, manufacturing maple sy- rup which I should judge is away above the required standard of sugar content. _ _ Any community can feel proud of farmers who will advance along pro— gressive lines as has been done in this, particular case. It is interesting to know that in everything on the Lake .View Farm the idea of high qual- ity seems to be the keynote. Can a man make good, I think is an- swered by, it'depends upon the man, " . and let me add, his wife and family. CANADIANSV use MUCH BUTTER.

Now, as never before, it looks as if Michigan Was go- ing to make an 01 gafnzed effort to gain for itself the name as the 1eade1 for the production of: the fruit products for which she is so naturally adapted. At this meeting the fruit men gave their hearty endorsement to a $500,000 program for the extension of the hort- icultural service at the college. This program includes a new horticultural building. The convention was full of pep and much interest was taken in the discus- sion of the problems which gave the fruit growers serious tréuble during the past year. The early part of the program was given to a discussion of the control of plant diseases and in- sects, while that of the second day was given moxe to marketing problems, and the last day to small fruit and for- tilizers. Professor Dutton, who gave the prin- cipal talk Tuesday morning, Said that cherry leaf spot could be very satisfac- torily controlled by thoroughlyspray— ]ing with lime—sulphur or Bordeaux mix- lure. ‘And no‘ treatment has been so disas- Dusting has proved a failure. trous during the past year that many orchards have died from this disease.

Gardner, the new head of the Horticultural Depart- ment 01:} M. A. C., in his discussion of pruning said that it did not, increase the production of the tree but was effective in proving the grade, size and color of the fruit. Professor Gardner urged a moderate common—sense prun- ing practice in conjunction with a good fertilizing program in order to increase the orchard profits. The features of the Wednesday morning program were the discussions of the grape berry moth, by Prof. R. H. Pettit, of M. A. C., and G. A. Run- ner, of the United States Bureau of Entomology. The concensus of opinion regarding the control of this insect was that more thorough spraying was the chief thing necessary. The students’ speaking contest was chock full of interesting information, which was ably presented by the stud- ent speakers. The winners were H. J. Wilkinson, B. Cummings, and W. G. Pritchard. In the judging contest, G. W. Wright was first; C. Mathewson and L. Bristol tied for second, and R. H. Watts, third. The annual election which followed the contest resulted in the election of A. J. Rogers, of Beulah, as president, secretary, and J. Pomeroy Munson as treasurer. Prof. A. R. Gardner was elected on the executive committee to succeed Prof. C. P. Halligan. R. H. Coryell; of Birmingham, succeeded E. J. VerDuyn, of Novi. Mr. HUH New~ ton,"of Hart, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Mr. Rogers to president, and Russel Evart was chosen to suCceed A. M. Bullock, both from Lapee1. Robert Anderson was re-elected. The outstanding features of the whole meeting was a speech by Hon. Jason Woodman, of Paw- Paw, and a member of the State Board of Agricul- ture for the past seven years, who in a. very human interest way told of the importance of the fruit industry to the : state. and of the desire of the state beard to cosperate with fruit mowers and the re-election of T. A. Farrand as- 8' _ . speech, Professo .‘Gardner gave a short ' ’ talk on- the proposal for .a new build- ing. Then a resolution faVOring the erection of this building and the further extension of the horticultural 'department was unanimously passed by the convention. ’The other subjects on the program for that day 'were, “Orchard Cover Crops,” by Prof. Laurenzv Grenne, pro- fessor of horticulture'of Purdue Uni-' versity. “Cooperative Marketing of Perishables,” by N. R. Peet,vmanager of the Western New York Fruit Grow- ers’ Packing Association and a. discus- sion of the problems of the cherry in- dustry by W. G. McCool, manager of the Grand Traverse Packing Company, Traverse City. A very interesting talk on pre cooling, by Henry Welton, sec- 1etaly of the Lincoln Fruit Growels’ Association. The last day R. B. Wilcox, of the United States* Oflice of Fruit Disease investigations, and Prof. R. A. Mar- shall, of the M. A. 0., gave a discus- sion of the raspberry disease situation. There is great'need for improvement for the contrOl of raspberry diseases, and in order to facilitate this improve- ment at State Berry Growers’ Associa- tion may be formed, in order that thor- ough inspection and a certification. of plants may be accomplished. Then county agents gave the results of fer- tilizer tests on fruit in their counties. These reports Show the great value of commercial fe‘rtilizers’ to increasing fruit production. The final session of the convention was devoted to a discussion of exten- sion work in fruit by T. A. Farrand, extension specialist of M. A. C., and secretary of the State Horticultural So- ciety. He showed the need of more work along this line. F. L. Bloom gave a final talk when he discussed the advantages of marketing through the Farm Bureau Produce Exchange. Mr. Bloom urges growers to unite with their cooperative societies and in re- turn ask the societies to allow the ex- change to take care of their selling problems f01 them. The mid- winte1 meeting of the State Horticultural Society will be held at Paw Paw. This meeting will probably be held early in March. The American Pomological Society has been invited to hold its next an- nual meeting at Grand Rapids. It'is understood that the society is favor- able to Grand Rapids as a meeting place. Spud Producers Get-Together WHILE the fruit growers were in session at the Press Hall, the Michigan Potato Producers’ As- sociation were talking about spuds in the ball room of the Pantlind Hotel. Two busy ays were spent in discuss- ing the general potato situation and the improvement of the Michigan prod- uct and its markets. Mr. W. P. Hartman, in his talk on “The State~ Supervision of Market Grades,” said that Michigan had taken a great step forward in adopting the Russet Rural as a standard variety, but he thought that an advertising campaign to overcome the prejudice against dark skinned potatdes would ,. prove very profitable. He suggested some slogan such as “Petoskey Russet, the Potato Supreme Quality in' the Russet Jacket ” to be used in connec- tion with this campaign. H. L. Ba1num,of the Potato Grow- ers’ Exchange, emphasized the need of better grading machinery and more careful grading, and D. L. Hagerman urged the formation of s. three-hundred , bushel potato club- He said that 1111-, iier the present certification plan, a. (Continued on 11653344); "’ -.,.. .

HERE is a wide difference in the number of acres that can be plow- ed in different types of soil. The time of the year and the condition of the team also determines the quantity of land that‘can be turned down during the ordinary ten-hour day. On three hundred twenty-four Ohio farms it was found that the man with a twelve-inch walking-plow, drawn by two horses, covered an average of 1.3 acres a day. The man with a fourteen-inch sulky plow and three horses turned 1.9 acres a day. The‘man with a tractor draw- ing a double gang plow got over 5.8 acres in a single day. LEGUMES FOR SHEEP. T is what goes‘ into the sheep’s stomach that determines how the owner will close his books at the end of the year. During the past year twenty-seven OWners of fine wooled flocks kept strict accounts of their herds. From these accounts it was shown that farmers feeding a limited amount of good alfalfa hay and giving attention to the lamb crop, received profits even with wool and mutton p1ices at the level they have been this past year. The five farms where wool was pro- duced most economically showed an average cost of 19.4 cents per pound. The remaining twenty-two farms re- quired 37.5 cents to produce each pound. The best farms raised forty-- one lambs per one-hundred head of sheep, while the flocks that lost mon- ey raised an average of thirty lambs per one hundred sheep. These records were taken in Morgan and Noble Coun- ties, Ohio. PLANT MORE POTATOES PER ACRE. ESTS conducted by the county agent in Erie county, Po... last year indicate most clearly that it is well to plant » plenty of potatoes per acre. Heavier plantings, in these tests, made bigger yields. and produced the added yields economically. Yields were as follows: I ' Amount Yield Yield Planted. Per Acre. Above'Seed. 27 bu. 194 hp. 167 bu. 15 bu. 176 >bu. 161 bu. From this‘ you will see there is a net gain of six bushels per acre, after the amount of seed used for planting is deducted. When seed potatoes are not too high, this is worth while—E. A. K. MlCHI-GAN HIGH IN POTATO PRO- DUCTION. ACCORDING to Verne H. Church, agricultuial statistician,_ Michigan produced 10,626,000 bushels more of potatoes this year than in the year 1921. This year’s production was 37,: 856,000, as compared ' with 27,230,000 .. . bushels in 1921. In total production. Michigan ranks second among the states of the Union.

He thought it was due higher yielding fields to give, them special recognition as the seed from such fields was worth more." V. (1. Church, state agricultural sta- ‘ tistician, gave an outline as to his. method of getting potato statistics, and R. H. Schumaker, local representative of the United States Bureau' of Mar- kets, told of the value of the govern- ment market reports. President Thos. Buell told of plans to better the state certification service so that Michigan would hold her reputation as the lead- ing state in this work. A good recommendation for Michi- gan seed was given by E. M. Nixon, of the .Pennsylvania State College, when he said that actual tests proved that Michigan certified seed potatoes were far superior to those of other states, as they were much more uniform. Re- quirements of the seed grade of Ohio and of Indiana were given by C. W. Waid and S. C. Gaylord respectively. Both of these men highly praised the Michigan seed stock. F. L. Bloom, who has had a lot, of experience in market- ing, gave some pointers on potato mar- ket requirements. Dr. William Stew- art, of the United States Department of Agriculture, gave his Views on p0~ tato growing from a nation—wide stand- point. The results of experimental work of potatoes given by potato spe- cialist J. \V. \Veston and H. C. Moore, told of his field observations during the past season. Thursday evening the potato men gathered at a speciali supper at which talks were given by Dr. Nixon; County Agent L. L. Drake, 0f Antrim county; Keats K. Vining, Kent county agent. and Hon. Jason \Voodman, who told of his long and wide potato growing experience. Carl; F. Barnum concluded the evening’s‘v program by speaking on the regional, use of certified seed. All of the sessions were well attend- ed and the interest in the program was keen. The meeting brought to the Michigan growers a realization of the value of the good work done in this state which has made it a leader, but it also brought the thought. that. con- tinued improvement was necessary if Michigan was to hold the lead. Better potatoes instead of more potatoes was the fundamental thought of the whole convention. Apple and Potato Show HE Michigan Apple and Potato Show had the finest exhibit of Michigan apples that was ever gotten together. The potato show also had such quality products exhibited that the winner at thebig Internation- al Potato Show in Duluth, Ernest Peti- for, of Elmira, received only honor- able mention. V A commendable fact with reference to the apple show is that this very good exhibit was made up almost en- tirely from counties which have not been recognized as in the fruit belt. Benzie county was really put on the map as a fruit. state by its winnings and showings at this exhibition. For the best and largest display, A. Bu- chanan, of Englishville, received first prize. For the best collection of ten varieties, R. 0. Newton, of Hart, won first prize. ‘ H, Shafer, of Sparta, got first in the _ ten best plates of any variety by show-- _ ing some of the finest Michigan/Snows . ever exhibited.

Brown a Company".- 0 / As carefully as possbile, he wrapped Harry in the blankets, seeking to pro- tect him in every way against the cold._ With a great effort, he lifted him, the sick man’s frame huddled in his arms like a' gigantic baby, and started out of the eerie, darkened house. ' The stairs—the landing—the hall! Then a query from below: "Is that you, Roady?” "The breath pulled sharp into Fair- child’s lungs. He answered in the best imitation he could give of the voice of Squint Rodaine: “Yes. Go on with your digging, Hon- ey. I’ll be them soon " “And you’ll kiss me?” “Yes. Just like I kissed you the night our boy was born.” It was sufficient. The chanting be- gan again, accompanied by the swish of the spade as it sank into the earth and the cludding roll of the clods as they were thrown to one side. Fair— child gained the door. A moment more and he staggered with his burden into the protecting darkness of the night. The snow crept about his ankles, seeming to freeze them at every touch, but Fairchild did not desist. His or- iginal purpose must be carried out if Rodaine were not to know—the ap- pearance that Harry had aroused him- self sufficiently to wrap the blankets about him and wander off by himself. And this could be accomplished only by the pain and cold and torture of a. barefoot trip. ' Some way, by shifting the big frame of his unconscious partner now and then, Fairchild made the trip to the main road and veered toward the pump-house of the Diamond J. mine. running as it often did Without attend- ance while the engineer made a trip with the electric motor into the hill. Cautiously he peered through the win- dows. .No one was there. Beyond lay warmth and comfort—and a telephone. Fairchild went within and placed Har- ry on the floor. Then he‘ reached for the ’phone and called the hospital. “Hello!” he announced in a husky, disguised voice. “This is Jeb Gresh- am of Georgeville. I’ve just found a man lying by the side of the Diamond J. pumphouse, unconscious, with a big cut in his head. I've brought him in- side. You’ll find him there; I’ve got to go on. Looks like he’s liable to die unless you can send the ambulance for him.” “We’ll make it a rush trip,” came the answer, and Fairchild hung up the ’phone, to rub his half-frozen, aching feet a moment, then to reclothe them' in the socks and shoes, watching the entrance of the Diamond J. tunnel as AL flCRES—S/zm Hm a Hot Water Spree; He ix Not Drunk, He 2: Only Full. 51W I’M SORRY You Germoieasnon so AFTER EATING!

Fifteen minutes later, from a hiding place at the side of the Clear Creek bridge, he saw the lights of the ambulanceas it SWerved to the pumphouse. Out came the stretcher. The attendants went in search of the injured man. When they came out again, they bore the form of Harry Harkins, and the heart of Fair- child began to beat once more with something resembling regularity. His partner—at least such was his hope and his prayer—was on the way to aid and to recovery, while Squint Rodaine would know nothing other than that he had wandered away! Grateful, light- er in heart than he had been for days, “Good. I don’t know whether he’s going to pull through or not. Of course, I can’t sayj—but itlooks to me from his breathingand his heart action that he’s not suffering as much from this wound as he ‘is from some ’sort‘of. poisoning. , “We’ve given' him apomorphine and it should begin to take effect soon. We’re using the batteries too. You say that you’re going—to be here. That’s a help.- They’re shy a nurse» on this floor tonight, and I’m having a pretty busy time of it. I’m very much afraid old Judge Richmond’s going to lay down 'his cross before morning.” “He’ 3 dying?” Fairchild said it with a clutching sensation at his throat. The physician nodded. “There’ s hardly a chance for him.” No luxury from bush or tree, And few from anywhere, Will hit the spot upon the dot And do it fair and square.

I Fairchild plodded along the road in the tracks of the ambulance, as it headed back for town.‘ The news already had spread by the time he reached the1e; news travels fast in a small mining camp. Fairchild went to the hospital, and to the side of the cot whe1e Harry had been tak- en, to find the doctor there‘before him, already bandaging the wound on Har- ry’s head and looking writh concern now and then at the pupils of the un- ‘ conscious man’s eyes. “A1e you going to stay he1e with him?” the physician asked, after he had finished the dressing of the lacer- ation. “Yes,” aching fatigue and heavy eyes. doctor nodded. Fairchild said, in spite of The i'LL. TRY ANY THING ’. “You’re going there?" “Yes. ” “Will you please give—” The physician waitedy Finally Fair- child shook his head. “Never mind,” he finished. “I thought I would ask you something—— but it would be too much of a favor. Thank you just the same. Is there any- thing I can do here?” “Nothing except to keep watch On his general condition. If he seems to be getting worse, call the interne. I’ve left instructions with him.” “Very good.” _ The physician went on, and Fair- child took his place beside the bed of' the unconscious Harry, his mind di- vided between concern for his faithful partner and the girl who, some time GOSH' Tints-MAKES in the night, must say good-bye for- ever to the father she loved. It had been on Fairchiid’ s tongue to send her some sort of message‘by the physician some word that would show her he was thinking of her and hoping for her. But he had reconsidered. Among those in the house of death might be Mau- ‘ rice Rodaine, and Fairchild did not care again to be'thé ’ cause of such a scene as had happened on -* the night of the Old Times dance. Judge’ Richmond was dying. What would that mean? What effect would it have upon the engagement of Anita and the man Fairchild‘ hoped that she detested? What—then he turned at the entrance of the interne with the. batteries. “If you’re going to be here all night,” said the white-coated individual, “it’ll help me out a lot if you’ll use these batteries for me. Put them on at their full force and apply them to his cheeks, his hands, his wrists and the soles of his feet alternately. From the way he acts, there’s some sort of morphinic poisoning. We can’t tell what it is— except that it acts like a narcotic. And , about the only way we can pull him out is with these applications.” The interne turned over the batter- ies and went on about his work, while Fairchild, hoping within his heart that he had not placed an impediment in the way of Harry’s recovery by not telling what he knew of Crazy Laura and her concoctions, began his task. Yet he was relieved by the knowledge that such information could aid but little. Nothing but a chemical analysis could show the contents of the strange brews which the insane woman made from her graveyard herbiage, and long before that could come, Harry might be dead. And so be pressed the batter- ies against the unconscious man’s cheeks, holding them there tightly, that the full/shock of the electricity -might permeate the skin and arouse the sluggish blood once more to ao- ' tion. Then to the hands, the wrists, the feet and back again, it was the be. ginning of a routine that was to last for hours. Midnight cane and early morning. With dawn, the figure on the bed stir- red slightly, and groaned.Fairchi1d looked up, to see the doctor just on- tering. “I think he’s regaining conscious ness.” “Good.” The physician brought forth his hypodermic. “That means a bit of rest for me. A little shot in the arm, and "he ought to be out of danger in a few hours.” . (Continued next week). ———By Frank R: Leer. '5Hucus, AL! I—CAN'T Do IT! I'VE ONLY DRANK 15‘ MINUTES AN' m CHUCK FULL / HE Master had splendid friends/ That means that He must have been worthy of such friends. He must have drawn them to him, and He must have been friendly himself. And, of course, we know that he was friend- ‘ ly. There were those who wOum have one to the death for Him. and He 10V“ led them unto the end. A church his- torian points out some famous friend. ships. There were Jesus and the two sisters, Mary and Martha, and their brother, Lazarus. There were Paul and Luke. This was a friendship that was broken only by death. So great was Paul’s influence rover Luke that his ‘ »gospel is referred ,to by some people as “The Gospel of Paul.” There were Peter and Mark. Peter must have been much older than Mark. From a father in the early church we learn that Peter related to Mark the eventsof our Lord’s life, and Mark wrote them down, so that his gospel might almost be called, “The Gospel of Peter.” Then, there were Luther and Melanchthon; Luther the older, Melanchthon the younger; Luther the .fiery reformer, Melanchthon the mys- tic and scholar. To the same period belong Calvin and Beza. Later, came Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley, all bish. ops in the English church, and'all suf- fering the martyr’s death. Still later came Wesley and Whitefield. This friendship was sadly marred by doc- trical differences for a time. But later the two men forgave and forgot, as Christian men should. In American life, there is the instance of Lincoln’s love for his old friend, Josh'ua F. Speed, and Marcus Hanna’s devotion to William McKinley. The home at Bethany seems to have been a spot where Jesus loved to go. He never, tired of it. The two sisters ' and their brother were company enough for the Lord of Life. The two sisters were poles apart, temperament- ally. Mary was the quiet, devotional, type, Martha the bustling, energetic; "“efficient” type. Mary would be lost in the rush today. Martha would be a splendid suffragette, or the head of a woman’s college, with a. million dollar endowment to raise. Frequently these two types do not agree well. The en- ergetic think that the quiet and medi- tative do not “do things.” The church very largely today is of the Martha type. It is all agog to “do things." This is a wholesome attitude to have, provided it is not carried to excess. Great souls cannot be grown by hot- house methods. Great men are those who have let time have its perfect work on their innerlnatures. A boy once went to James A. Garfield, who was then president of Hiram College, and asked if there were not some shorter course he might take, as he did not want to study for four long years. Garfield replied, “My boy it takes a hundred years to grow an-oak, but you can raise a. squash in three months.” HE tendency to depart from the Martha type to the Mary type is becoming more marked. ‘Meetings are . being held for the cultivation of the inner life. Every week I receive a leaflet from a church in an easterii pity, where a class is held, called “The Claus in Personal Religidn.” Part of . . the program is five minutes of abso- «1 glare silence; at the close of the class session, for the pinpose, not of praying - God '1‘ 97Fri‘ehd‘ and e Enemy OzarIVeefly Sermon—By N. 24. Mchme 'tral peace of'the universe; grant to us, . Thy children, such a consciousness of 'we throw ourselves'hpon Thy beset- . lengths, which were worn in rotation, hearty nowadays .11th which runs as follows: “Almighty God, Who art the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and the cen- Thy indwelling presence as may give us utter confidence in Thee. In all pain and weariness and anxiety may ting care, that knewing ourselves fenc- ed about by Thy loving omnipotence, we may permit Thee to give us health and strength and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Martha was fussy. Fussy people are not the most desirable kind. Fussy religion does not achieve as much as the religion of calmness and repose. It is told of a well-known English bishop that he could not endure fussing ofli- cials. When a clergyman made him- self too officious at a confirmation ser- vice, he was sure to be beckoned and reprimanded in two words, "“Don’t for; get!” A man and woman were travel- ing together a few years ago, and the woman was forever getting up and sit- ting down, smoothing her dress or fix- ing her hat. Said her husband, “Why don’t you get fixed, Mary, and be quiet?” “I’m just getting in a position to enjoy this scenery,” said she. “Well,” replied her patient compan- ion, “By the time you get into a posi— tion to enjoy the scenery, the scenery will all be past." When we turn to the enemies who are mentioned in this lesson, it is a more spirited scene. “Woe unto you!” are the words that are catapulted at us. Hypocrisy is a dreadful thing. The pathetic aspect of it is, that we do not know that we are hypocritical, in the majority of cases. some communities about hYpocrites in the church. That is usually an exag: gerated charge. I have known very few people who were hypocrites, and- Much is said in ’ realized it. One often meets weak peo- ple in the church, who fall below the standards of right living, and one meets sinful people on church rolls. But usually these do not realize that; they are pretending one thing, and liv—; ing another In the case of the Phari-' sees their hypocrisy was so glaring that a blind man could see it. They" who were the leaders of the people were doing nothing themselves to make conditions better. IN every age there are many shams.‘ At the Columbia Exposition, a row. of expensively bound books bore the~ warning, “Hands Off!” Some one, however, took down one of the books and found it a'painted block of wood.- A young man who wanted to appear learned, put a row of letter files on the top row in his room and labeled it, “Xenophon’s Works.” Macaulay, has often been charged with pretending, because he wrote a letter to his constituents dated at Windsor Castle, where the king lived. A8 a matter of fact, Macaulay was at Wind- s‘or Castle just half an hour, and the letter was written before he .went there, but he dated it Windsor, so as to make an impression on his constitu- ents. We are told that a famous Ital- ian had a number of wigs, of different so as to appear as though he had en- joyed a hair-cut. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR DECEMBER 17.

A paper pat. tern is cut for each bdrd,.and the blue material folded four or more times, the pattern securely pinned 'on and the birds cut out with sharp scissors. The edges are left raw in appliquing’them on, as the stitches cover the raw edges. The birds are basted to the material. Then the 'white cotton is used to sew them on. The stitch is the French- knot stitch. Working away from you, place the needle down, close to the ‘edge of the bird, and bring it up through both bird and cloth, making the stitch about one-eighth of an inch ‘long, and the stitches about one-eighth ot‘ an inch apart. When the needle has been brought up through the work, take up the loose thread and wind it twice around the needle. Pull the needle through, drawing the knot tight, and then go on to the next stitch. This method of appliquing gives a raised eflect which is handsomer and more durable than the simple embroidery applique stitch. The crocheted edge of blue, and the single bluebird ap- pliqued‘ on with white, finishes the napkin. Turn the tablecloth hem on the right side, about two inches. Miter the cor- ners of the hem. Stitch it with blue, using the French knot— applique stitch as described, and stitching down the mitered corners- The cloth has a bor- der of birds all around it, twenty-eight birds being used, four of the largest size, and eight of each of the others. Arrange the birds on one corner and get the proper effect before basting them on. The ~single large bird occu- pies the corner. The others can be arranged as fancy dictates. The white stitchings on the birds follow the gen,. eral outline of feathers and wings, but the worker can uSe her own ideas in placing them or can leave them out altogether.

' HE sum of $20,000,000 is a tre- mendous amount to spend on a. stamp that will .not even carry a letter. You gasp in indignation at the thought of such waste- But wait! The minute that I tell you that the “stamp” in question is the well-known Christ- mas stamp of the National Tuberculo- Xsis Association, you understand and smile in approval, for this little money raiser has not only taken $20,000,000 from the pockets of the American pub- lic in fifteen years, but it has also per- formed the great feat of being the chief financial agent in reducing the national death rate for tuberculosis from over 200 per 100,000 citizens, sev- enteen years ago, to its present rate of a little less than 100 per 100,000 citizens. The Christmas Seal haS'become so well-known in this process of work that it is as familiar as any of Our nationally advertised articles. The av- erage citizen, during Christmas Seal time, made the message of the Christ- mas Seal in his morning paper. He is urged, to buy seals by signs in the street cars and on the billboards. ‘At his offic‘eyo‘if shop, or farm he is told about tuberculosis-in his daily mail or in conversation with his fellow work- er; When the» children come home tram school they tell him of the Christ- mas Seal storiesand quite likely bring seals home for him 'to buy. If he goes to the movies 'or the theater, he sees flashed .upon the, screen facts about prevention of tuberculosis and an appeal, to, fistamp out’f. the disease. ”-"In‘; 1531? “Christmas ,Seals' to . the value ‘ “stemmed: 1222‘ the t , . --. National Tuberculosis Association has set its goal at $5,000,000. If anyone should feel critical about spending this vast amount of money for the prevention of tuberculosis, let him reflect upon the fact that this dis- ease is estimated to cost the United States of America $570,000,000 annual- ly, and he will realize that $5,000,000 for prevention is a small amount. FiVe million dollars,means an in- crease in sales of a little morethan forty per cent, so it behooves every citizen who wishes to see tuberculosis ‘fstamped out” to buy more Christmas Seals this year, buy them cheerfully and not, only buy them but put them upon his letters and packages, because this nation-wide publicity is one of the chief agents in teaching people that tuberculosis is no longer a hopeless disease but is one that may be pre- vented and cured. The $5,000,000 will support .santoriums, clinics, nursing service and educational work against disease, and yourown family will be safer because you have bought and used Christmas Seals.

DON'TLIT Tllffl fill! f. FRESH HAIR DUSTING. IT is a fact that dusting is the nat- ural method for a. hen to clean up and rid her body of lice. But when dusting boxes are used in the winter laying quarters the air of the house is.- cloudy with dust most of the day. This dust makes the house unpleasant and unhealthful for both the hens and their caretaker. Dusty air seems to be one of the causes of colds in some flocks. Some poultrymen have successfully used an outside dusting box. Just out-, side one of the trap doors of the house a small. waterproof shed is construct- ed. The front of the small low shed is all open so the dust is blown out- side. The dusting box is far enough back from the front to keep the earth dry. If such an arrangement is not used I think it best to leave out the dust box in the laying—quarters. All of the birds can be treated with blue oint- ment to prevent lice. Then they can IS.

Breeders who do not produce milk at home can often buy the com- mercial semi-solid buttermilk. Experi- ments have proven that five pounds of sour skim-milk is about equal to a buttermilk. The cash value of the sour milk for poultry feeding is rather diflicult to determine, but a fair price of seven cents per gallon has usually been con- sidered fair. The commercial semi- solid buttermilk usually costs cloSe to four cents per pound, although the cost is greatly influenced by the amount purchased and the freight rates. mixin chasin stions. Dirty milk seems'to be a source \ pound of the commercial semi—solid There are quite a few poultrymen their own dry mash by pur- . the semi-solid butter-null: for the bratein and than edging as much home-raised grain as possible, plus the necessary items purchased‘of their neighbors or elevator. This makes an economical mash and the poultryman knows what he is feeding, There seems to be a value to feed- ing milk that cannot be expressed eas- ily in cash. It has the vitamines which produce growth and vigor. Breeding stock that have milk in .their ration seem to produce more 'hatchable eggs than hens which get all their protein through beef scrap or fish scrap. In feeding liquid sour milk and but- termilk the dishes should be frequent- ly scalded and scrubbed with a corn cob to loosen the gummy accumula- of digestive troubles. Do not feed sour milk in any type of fountain which cannot be opened up so you Can see all the inside when it is rinsed and cleaned. DECEMBER POULTRY NOTES. ’The late moulters need protection from exposure when shy of feathers in cold weather. It pays to keep them confined on windy days and furnish a ration that is well balanced and suffi- cient to develop a rapid feather growth. These late moulters are the best lay- ers and it costs money to lose birds of that type. . 3 Now is a time when the good care of. poultry shows up. The flocks which have been underfed through the sum-. mer are not ready for winter laying. The pullets which have had a balanced ration have developed large frames and plenty of vigor. They are ready for the strain of heavy winter laying. TheI poultry keeper who has neglected his? flock cannot hope to make up for lost‘ time. The best of rations will help to improve the poorly fed flock but they will never equal the birds that have. made a rapid normal growth from thei start. Fish meal is being fed to some lay- ing hens with good results. About twenty per cent cf the mash is the usual recommendation. The-commer- cial dried buttermilk is another source of protein that is meeting with favor among poultrymen. A good grade of beef scrap is still the reliable standby of many breeders. But whatever you feed, do not neglect the protein if you need winter egg money. ' TURKEYS WITH COLDS. What has gone wrong with our tur- keys? Out of a flock of about thirty- flve there are six visible cases. The trouble started about a month ago with swelling around their eyes to such an extent at times that they can not see . to eat. No bowel trouble, no spots or patches in mouth;. the only discharge is a frothy substance that forms over their eyes; They sneeze quite fre- quently—S. J. M. The turkeys have colds which may result from dampness or a general lack of vigor or overcrowding at roosting time._ An open front shed which is tight on three sides makes a good tur- key house. The sick‘ birds will need individual attention. Remove the mu- cous from the nostrils with tissue pa- per,— and then run them with camphor— ated vaseline. Dipping the heads in a solution of commercial disinfectant will. sometimes cure colds. Injecting a solution of potassium permanganate into the nostrils with a medicine drop- per is often helpful.

"05°st sh‘h \ I I arming ' NY farmer could produce milk of A low bacteria count with the barns and equipment frequently pictured in dairy literature. But it is quite another matter to start in debt with scrub cattle and a straw shed, \ and build a high-class milk business, buy a. farm and educate; a family of children. ' We have in Kalamazoo a man who has, in the face of just such handicaps, bought a farm and built up a herd ol‘ cattle that will challenge the admira- tion of the most critical. Of: his herd, H. E. Dennison, of the M. A. 0., said “That is one of the finest herds ol.‘ grade Guernseys I have seen in the state.” ‘ Twenty-five years‘ ago this man brought his bride to his ancestral home, which he had purchased from the heirs by going heavily into debt. He OWned a team of horses, a few tools, had unlimited faith and a bride. She brought as a dower to her new home a heifer call‘. This call’ grew and multiplied and her descendants are now among the best animals in this herd. In fact, I think the entirp herd has descended from two cows. With this man, the big problem has always been the sire. His one thought has been to get a herd leader a little better than the preceding one. Long trips were made in the horse-and- buggy days to study the ancestors and get some prospective sires. This man raised what he thought was his best calves. He was naturally a good feed- er so that his stock had good oppor- tunity to grow. Some years ago when the city of Kalamazoo asked for better milk, this man had a supply ready. He was one of the very first to get a premium for his product and he has been getting it ever since. A little more pains at ' milking time, cooling quickly in warm weather and keeping the product in "condition until it is delivered are the ' things that made buyers seek after ' this man's product. ‘ “He feeds up everything he can get hold of," remarks his neighbors. Yes, and he buys more, but he always Yises care in his. feeding, and care in keep- ‘ ing good cows. If more would exercise the same care, they would make larg-. er returns. Last year this man's cows ' returned him $2.79 for ever one dollar invested in feed. That is what tells the story of his success. ' His breeding operations have not been the result of a preconceived plan. His single object seemed to have been to get the best possible sires. Strange , as it may seem to the student of pedi- - grees, three of these sires have been - line-bred Glenwoods and the fourth is a Glenwood with a Golden Noble Top cross. ' The original fifty acres have been built up and more land has been bought, two silos built, the house and , barn remodeled so that the work can now be more quickly and pleasantly done and the cattle may be kept in better shape. In 1920, when cow-test- ing work was organized in that county, this man was one of the first to sign yup. .And last summer he was heard to remark that if he could have been " in such an association ten yearsvearlier , he ‘would have been much farther ahead.

HILE the practice of scoring barns and the conditions under, which milk is produced, has brought: about remarkable improvement in the; milk offered for consumption, it is! more important to grade the milk itself: according to reports made at the Gen; eva- Experiment Station. In the con trol of milk emphasis should be placed 0n the quality or" the milk itself as shown by the bacterial count, flavor, butter—fat content and dirt. Exercis- ing control over the quality of the milk automatically controls the conditions under which it is produced. Much evi- dence is available to show that con- tamination of milk from the barn and cow is relatively unimportant as com- pared with the possibilities of the large numbers of bacteria getting into the milk from utensils. CALF HAS Goon START. AT the George Koehner farm, near Monroe, W'isconsiif, a Holstein cow gave birth to a calf weighing 127 pounds. Live stock authorities say that this is very unusual as the aver- age weight of calves is between sev- enty-five and eighty pounds. As this calf is normal in every way, it has nearly fifty pounds advantage in weight over the normal calf. GOOD MILK PRODUCER. BROOKSIDE COLANTHA, a. British Friesian cow, is making a good rec- 0rd in milk production. At slightly over eight years of age she has pro- duced over three thousand gallons of milk per year. This cow was milked four times a day and has frequently given more than eleven gallons of milk a day. She has had five calves and has yielded more than fifty times her weight in milk. 1 NOVEMBER MILK PRICES.

Michigan cities ranged from $2.00 in Bay City to $2.60 in Detroit and Grand Rapids, and $3.20 in Kalamazoo for four per cent milk. At Ann Arbor $2.25 was paid and at Lansing $2.15.

Ganshert of Gratiot, Wis., is just one of thousands or De Laval Milker users who have . found in their Do Laval Milker the “better way of milking,” which makes their business more pleasant and profitable. During the season when he is busy with field work, his son and daughter, thirteen and ten years old, with the help of a. De Laval Milker, do all the milking. He says: “ The working parts of the entire De Laval installation are so simple and uniform in operation that any boy or girl can operate it. My cows are now being milked with a De Laval Milker, operated by my son and daughter, better than they used to be milked by good hand Sand for complete information The De Laval Separator Company CHICAGO 29 E.

In the past two cars I have used the De "Laval ilker, I have never had a bad quarter or udder, and have never been troubled in the least with it.”. Mr. Ganshert delivers his milk to a cheese factory, and the manager recently said: “ The Ganshert milk is the cleanest and best which comes into my factory.” This is not an unusual instance of what a De Laval Milker will do.

Michigan ' 1. and as an old friend puts it, ByP Pr P0)! h N raising any kind of live stock it is desirable that they- vary any in life become accustomed to the prea- ence of man. Théy should learn to re- ‘ gard him as a; purely beneficent being, ' I- which means that he must act the part. Success in. stock» raising requires that the animals be kept comfortable and free from excitement and worry. This is ~out cf the question when they are allowed to becomefwild and race all over the yards when anyrone ap- pears. Gentleness with live stock has been well termed the ,sine qua ban on thrift. How much: better it is to have heifers or the pigs crewd each other 'out of the way for the satisfying scratch on the back than to have a. “battle royal"~ whenever it is necessary to han- dle one of them. The calves, es- pecially those in- “ . tended for breed- ing purposes, should be familiarly‘ handled from birth, always with gen- tleness, but also with firmness. They‘ should be broken to halter early, be- fore they are strong enough. to make serious r'esistanca .They will very soon learn the lesson of submission "when once they learn that man and the halt- er is stronger than they are, they nev- er know no better.” We who have small herds and care for them in addition to doing the reg- ular work of the farm, often find it difficult to Spare the time necessary to carry the training to the point most, desirable, and so during the busy sea- son when the cattle all together have the run of the pastures, the matter of personal attention is apt to be neg- lected. Now that winter is right at hand and the fields locked up '10 the‘plow, we make it a part of our winter’s job to see that the calves get their share of attention. If they have not; as yet had their lesson at the halter, their time has now come and. they are groomed and fondled until they are not. afraid, then taught to stand tied to the man- gers and to~lead. Only the gentlest of treatment is permitted at this time. coupled with insistence on doing what we attempt. That the calf objects and makes blind efforts to escape does not mean that he is stubborn and unruly, but only that he doesn't understand what is wanted, and is afraid. His education is best accomplished by the exercise of kindness, patience and per- severance oft repeated. Feeding. At feeding time the calves are sort- ed according to age and sex and placed in separate boxes, where they may learn to eat grain and a variety of oth- er foods without being moltested by. the older stock. At first they are kept in the boxes only at feeding time and are allowed to run loose with their dams the 'rest of the time. . But within a few days they will show signs .of enjoying the seclusicn and comfort of the box stalls. so are kept in over night. They are let out the first thing in the morning to nurse then, after the morning feed, are given the freedom of the yards for ‘ the day. They thus learn to depend .1 'more and more upon the feed box and - less and 1988 3111011 the dam until they are weaned 11111111111 without knowing it and with no setback - p , L at 111111111 thirty , am they are getting about all they '3' care for. As they grow old-er, of course, the hoavy grain feeding is net necessary, nor desirable. but there is little dnnger of getting a calf too fat. For roughage we also give a variety and to the baby calves the choicest bits available. CONDUCTED BY DR. W. C. FAIR. Advice through this column is given free to our subscrib- era.

Tapewom. —~Our dog has been trou- bled for some time with large flat shap— ed worms of different lengths. Kindly tell W at to do for him. R. M. ., Ithaca, ich. ——After fasting your dog for twenty-four hours and clearing out the stomach and bowels with a full dose of castm oil, give him from fif- teen to sixty drops of oil of male fern, followed in eight or ten hours with a ' saline cathartic. The expelled worms should be carefully examined to ascer tain if the head has been expelled and if not, the treatment should be repeat- ed in ten days. Don’ t neglect to burn all segments of the passed parasites, also the excrement. Diarrhea. ——-I have a six- month- old pig that has been troubled with diarr- hea f01 the past three Weeks and have given it different home . 1emedies which fail to help it. I... A., Bear Lake, Mich. —If you have not already given your pig 3. tablespOOnful. of castor oil, 01 two grains of calomel Ido so; one dose only. Give five grains of salol at a dose three or four times a day. Indigestion—Worms.—I have a thir- teen year- -old horse that was low in flesh when I bought him last’ May and since then he has passed worms. I have given him salt and wood ashes with very little success. I wish you would tell me what to do for him. J. R. W., Middleville, Mich.——Give him one dram of powdered sulphate of iron, a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoon- ful of powdered gentian at a dose in feed twice a day. Increase his grain ration, also feed some clover, alfalfa or roots. Bursa! Bunch.—I have a heifer that has a bunch on left hind leg at ankle. The bunch is soft part of the time, at other times hard; it is not always the same size. Can it be removed? 0. J. B., Unionville, Mich—Clip hair off and paint bunch with tincture of iodine three times a week. Such a bunch is not easily reduced. Teat Strictuce.-Have a Jersey cow that milked easy up to a few days ago. Since then one teat is about closed, no pain. 0. C. 0., Three Rivers, Mich. —-With dull steel probe dilate the teat canal. General stiffness—I have a ten-year. old d1aft mare which has been stiff in front legs for some time. About Silo filling time she did three hard. days’ work, since then she has been sore and ' stiff. No swelling or bunches on legs. She had worked for two years in collar she Wore during the three days I menv tion, therefore “it could hardlybe the collar that caused her soreness. Ex- ercise seems to afford partial relief. H. 8., Adrian, Mich—Chronic soreness such as she has is usually confined t0‘ the feet and joints. The very best you can do is to have her well shod, and give her good care. Apply lanolin to hoofs daily. Weakness. —-I have a seven-year-old cow which, after freshening, gets thin in flesh and very weak lingers along until she is unable to get up without 'fihelp H. 13., Clinton, Mich. ——Increase her food supply, give her one dram of fluid extract of mm: vomica at a dose three or four times a day. Barrenness.—I have a twelve- -year— old cow that has raised ten calves but now she falls to get with calf.

WHEAT The wheat market has been swing- ing over a narrow range recently but advanced at the close of last week to the highest point of the season. The upturn was ascribed to the President’s recommendations to congress with ref- erence to agricultural relief and a statement by Julius Barnes, former president of the U. S. Grain Buyers’ Corporation, that Europe may face a most acute food situation next spring and that credits enabling foreigners to make moderate purchases of grains would cause an immediate and pro— nounced advance. Primary receipts are holding up well, although there is no accumulation. The usual dullness at this season has overspread the flour tradebut mills are still grinding at a high' rate on old orders. Moderate weather has delayed the close of lake navigation and permitted a heavy movement of Canadian to eastern lake ports in the last ten days while large quantities have been cleared for Eu- rope. An enormous quantity of Can- adian wheat is in transit all the way from western Canada to the Atlantic seaboard. Private reports show a loss of eight to ten per cent in the acreage of wheat and a condition about five per cent below the average. The crop outlook as a whole is slightly less fav- orable than last year but is not apt to become a market factor before spring. CORN ,, 'In the five weeks ending December 2, primary markets received 27,923,000 bushels of corn against 19,938,000 bush— els in the same period last year and a ten-year average of 21,767,000 bush- els. Taking changes in the visible supply into account, distribution in this period was, 25,938,000 bushels this year against 23,355,000 bushels and a ten-year average of 22,712,000 ~‘bnshels.- Demand from the west and ,south seem to have subsided slightly inhthe last few daysand country offer- ' flags to primary markets have increas- :’ - A larger movement is expected later. but in view of the breadth pf? “J" domestic demand including that from feeders, declines in price are not apt to be extensive. ‘ ' ATS In the first eighteen weeks of the cats crop year, a total of 101,019,000 bushels disappeared into consumptive channels against 62,811,000 bushels last year and a ten-year average .Of 139,820,000 bushels. The decline in distribution as compared with the ten- year average has been more than off- set by a. falling off in primary receipts in this period. . SEEDS Timothy and cloverseed prices have been well maintained recently. Most of the surplus, especially of timothy, has already been sold by growers and the remainder is in strong hands and is being held for higher prices later on. FEEDS Feed markets have weakened, espe- cially for high protein meals. The de- mand from consuming sections is not brisk owing to milk weather and to a less profitable ratio of feed prices to prices of live stock and live stock products. Offerings of most feeds are liberal with shipments in transit quot- ed below deferred deliveries. HAY Heavier country loadings of hay and increased receipts as a result of a bet~ ter car situation have caused an easier hay market. No pronounced decline is probable. POULTRY ’AND. EGGS Egg prices were well maintained last week as the demand is broad ow- ing to the holiday season and receipts have not expanded materially. Stor- age holdings on December 1, accord- ing to the preliminary report were 3,- 258,000 cases, which is a smaller total than in 1919 but compares with a five- year average of 2,517,000 cases. The- . reduction in November was the largest on record. If the reduction in Decem- ber is equally heavy, the excessive holdings above the average will be completely worked bff by January 1. Under the circumstances prices may hold present levels. and possibly work a little higher during the next month as no great increase in receipts is ex- pected in that time. Poultry prices are holding fairly well as receipts are not exceptiOnal'ly heavy and the con- sumptive demand is excellent. Storage holdings increased less than usual dur- ing November.

BUTTER Butter prices advanced from one-half to two cents a pound on the leading markets last week and the situation looks stronger than it did a week ago. Purchases of foreign butter were much smaller than at first reported and an advance in the Danish butter market, together. with higher Danish exchange, is likely to check further sales from that quarter for the time being at least. While a little Canadian butter is coming to New York and Chicago right along, pressure from New Zea- land butter which is most apt to be a serious factor,vhas not been noticeable.

Total shipments from produbing districts are declining but.are up to the average for this season of the year- Unloads at consuming markets have not de: clined so much and are rather heavy. Technically, the market appears to be getting in shape for a moderate ad- vance. Northern whites are quoted at 70c@$1.05 per 100 pounds sacked, in leading cities. APPLES The apple markets were weak for barreled stock in the last few days but steady on boxed apples. Shipments are of approximately average size. Greening and Baldwin apples are quot- ed. at $4@5,on city markets and $4 a barrel f. o. b. the New York shipping points. _ BEANS The bean market came to life again late last week after a period of dull- ness which threatened , to extend through the rest ofthe year. white hand-picked stack reached $7@ 7.10 per 100 pounds 1'. o. b. Michigan shipping points. Red kidneys were quoted at $7.75@7.85. The movement from farms has not broadened and de- mand has improved uneXpectedly. WOOL The domestic wool market is quiet, with only limited transactions between manufacturers and dealers. Manufac— turers have moderate stocks but with the 1923_clip four or five months away and the Opening of the'heavy weight manufacturing season shortly after the first of the year, the situation does not favor lower prices. More interest is being shown in medium and coarse wools than in fine wools. The London auction continues with prices ona par with the opening advance with some American buying reported. ..

The prevailing and prospectively higher prices for mutton and wool has perhaps increased ‘interest in this branch of the live stock business and made the sheep exposition one of the outstanding features of the Interna- tional. The best flocks from Canada and the states were out for the honors. . l l The winnings were quite generally; distributed.

In another place the home economics department of the college showed. what could be done with Michigan apples and gave samples of candied apples and various flavored apple jellies.
