'7 :feairli‘ng or tWOo'year-old hen. We alho

know, that as a- money maker, the pul-~





let is producing eggs during the pe-

riod of h1gh prices while the older

hens are at ‘a low ebb in production,

due to moult. The returns from the

farm dock comes very largely £10m

egg sales and the more we can put on



‘ the market during the months of No-

vémher, December, January and Feb-





wary, the greater cur receipts are go-.





111g to be. '

Knowing these factors to exist‘ we





must endeavor to have a relatively;





large proportion of our laying flock

consisting of pullets. These must be

hatched in time and so raised and

brought into maturity that they will

get into production same time during

September or October. This presents

the factors of time of hatching, rate

oflmaturity, and rearing methods.

Early hatched» chicks are essential

for early production. The heavy

breeds usually come into production

when six months of age, the. lighter

breeds a little earlier. We must plan





our hatches with this fact in mind. 'It '





is possible to rush pullets into produc-

"tion by heavy proteinfeeding but it

tends to bring them into laying .be-





fore they have attained their full‘





growth, resulting in small eggs and a

greater danger of winter moult. ,

The broody hen has .,become a back

number for economical production of,

chicks. "Careful culling is rapidly elim-

inating the broody character from our

farm flocks. Hens vyiich insist on go-

ing repeatedly broody are generally

poor layers due to their frequent vaca-

tions. Culling for production is rap

idly reducing the number of lhens,

. available for setting. The uncertainty





of having enough hens broody at 'one

time to have the chicks of the same

age results in the growing flock. The

labor in caring for several different

small broods is also 13on greater

than where the chicks are all one age.





We then begin to look for a way out’





and the following solutions present

themselves:

. (a) The use of an incubator.



' (b)'The, purchase of baby. chic-ks.



(c)‘ The purchase of ten-weeks’-old

pullets.



The farmer who is breeding and de-‘

veloping his own flock will have to

have some means of incubation Chich

leaves him with a choice of operating

his own machine or getting space in a

community hatchery. The Smaller in-

cubators have now reached a state of

perfection where they can be relied on

and operated very successfully by an

amateur. It pays to buy a good re-

liable, well-tried machine even if the

initial cost is a little greater.





y Cémrwafioer W me More W one Eorzer





Ferguson,





Manager Miekigem Egg Laying Context





In the purchase of baby chicks one

«relies entirely on the other fellow’s

ability as a breeder. Where chicks of

good quality can be procured it elimi-

hates the difficulties of hatching, re-





duces the labor of raising the chicks-





since they can be handled in broods of

from.300 to 400 instead of fifteen to

twenty with old hens. The growing in-

terest in the baby chick business is





'1 far-reaching and one now finds many





farmers buying chicks by parcel post

in preference to attempting to bleed

and incubate their own. One must

not, however, buy indiscriminately,

k‘n‘oWing nothing of the source or ori-

gin of the stock. There are on the

market thousands of cheap chicks

which are hatched from inferior stock

and sold at a greatly reduced price.

This price. is made possible by the fact

that the flocks from which these eggs

are taken are not developed and culled

to a point where a better price can be

demanded. Thousands of this grade

We also are fortunate in having a. 11m-‘

ited amount of bacillary white diarrv _ ‘





head in Michigan flocks. Many seem





to be of the opinion that stock pur- '5





chased in some distant state or city is

going to be superior to home products

which is not always the case. Egg-

laying contest reports are a good

guide to follow in selecting a place to

buy chicks. Look up a breeder near





home whose plant you can see or learn ‘





something definite about, and follow

his entry in the contest or the per-

formance of his home flock.



The college .extension service in

poultry is now establishing a. system

of demonstration farm flocks. TheSe

flocks will be headed by pedigreed col-





lege cockerels and culled each season :





by the extension specialist. These

will make an excellent source of good

stock for the community in which they

are located.



The third method of renewing the

farm {lock is the purchase of pullets.

Several of the larger farms are now

making a specialty of growing chicks

until they are eight or ten weeks of

age, marketing the broilers and selling

the pullers out for laying stock. This

offers the line of least resistance. The

pulleis airive after Hwy are through

the brooding process and old enough

to put out on range with little care.

The cash outlay is. of necessity, larger

with this method but offers the busy

farmer’s wife a very convenient meth-

od of renewing her laying flock.

“But how do you explain,”.he asked,

“Well,” I replied, “part of what you

when such is not the case, the premi-

“On a rising market the difference

Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange.

Fifty-five of these cars were loaded

Uncle Sam's Tariff Income.





Two million dollars a day is the in-

simply makes goods manufactured by

cheap foreign labor cost the some in

very essential that the moisture in the

cultivation should be continued till

the ground freezes in the fall. By do-

ing this one will be able to kill weeds

and grass which otherwise would be

ready to start quickly in the spring

and would take a great deal of the

moisture that is needed by the straw-

berry plants at that time. ' Weeds and

grass also interfere a great deal with

the pollination of the berries, a large

percentage of nubbins and imperfect

berries being, found in fields where

there is much weed growth. Keeping

weeds and grass out of the strawberry

bedlduring the first season is the se-

cret of producing large, well-developed

strawberries the second season, and

these are what make the strawberry

patch a profitable crop on the farm. In

weedy fields it is also much more diffi-

cult to pick the berries without injur-

ing them. In Michigan late fall culti-

vation of the strawberry bed is consid-

ered as one of the most important fac-

tors in strawberry ’culture,‘ and in

many localities it is considered as one

of the essentials to profitable. straw-

after you have completed the last cul-

tivation of the strawberry bed, a thor-

ough coating of straw to serve as a





mulch should be spread on the straw- ‘





berry patch. This mulch is very use-

ful in conserving moisture, keeping

the berries clean, and in keeping down

the weeds in the strawberry patch.

There are several cases this spring

where there were heavy showers of

rain. which completely covered the

strawberries! with sand and grit and

spoiled them for sale to private fam-

ilies. These strawberries could be

kept from getting so badly covered

with grit and sand if they had been

properly covered with a mulch last

fall. There were also many cases in

Michigan this season where the dry

weather hurt the strawberry patches

a great deal by reducing the size and

quantity of .the berries, and these

could have been prevented by properly

mulching theistrawberry patches last

fall. .. « ,



The straw is scattered over the

fields in the fall and in the spring the

plants will grow up through it, but in

most cases some will have to be raked

off into the middle of the rows. The

use of the mulch may retard the ripen-

ing season of the berries, but this de-

lay is slight and seldom of importance

to the strawberry grower.

Thellnside Reason



for Oakland Success



~Known Mileage

These Definite Advantages Account





for the Increasing Number of

Oaklands You Meet Every Day





HE SU C C ESS of a motor car depends upon the

success-of its engine! If ever a manufacturer set about

deliberately to build the finest light—six engine that could





be built—Oakland did!





Materials were chosen with scrupulous care! Special steel

alloys were employed; costly bronze—backed, patented

bearings were chosen; cylinders were honed to the

smoothness of glass; special design, two—piece piston

rings were employed—and the workmanship was

checked and re—checked to the smallest dimensions.





Because of this, Oakland is able to offer you a car with

known mileage, free from trouble or expense. Oakland

knows, for instance, that in addition to the remarkable

mileages given above, an Oakland will average from 2.0

to 25 miles per gallon of gas and 15,000 to 25,000





miles per set of tires.





Before you buy a car this spring, compare the Oakland

with any other car. You will understand why so many

careful buyers have convinced themselves that the

Oakland Six offers more for the dollar. And remember

——only a few ’dollars down, with small monthly pay-

ments—buys one of these splendid cars!

‘In Michigan these dates are from April

family should be interested and plan

BUYERS ARE PAYING PREMIUM

PRICES FOR POTATOES.





 





ATELY the independent potato



buyers have advanced the price to

growers to $100 and $1.10 per hun-

dredweight. This raise in price _is due

to the fact that these independent buy-

ers wish to make a showing to the

growers in contrast with the coopera-

tive selling organizations. In most

cases where cooperative efforts are

proving successful, the old-line buyers





use tactics of this sort, and, of course,‘





the farmer who is not a member of

the association» gains thereby. How-

ever, these premium prices would not

be effective‘if it were not for the com-

petitiOn independent buyers are get-

ting from the associations, and Very

rarely are they effective for long pe-

riods, as these buyers cannot afford to.

pay for a long time higher prices than

the market warrants.





 





LIVE STOCK FARMERS BEAT

GRAIN GROWERS.





 





N Shelby county, Ohio, an investi-



gation was made of the different

types of. farming, and the records ob

tained show» that live stock farmers

made more money than grain growers.“



The net income above expenses on

grain farms averaged $1,446 on an av-

erage investment of $28,000. For the

live stock farms the capitalization was

smaller, as the farms were not as

large, but the average net income

above expenses was $1,565.





If these farmers were allowed an

average hired man 's wage for their 1a.-

her, not considering the value of the

house rent and of thesproducts con-

sumed by the family, totaling around

$700 a year, then grain farmers netted

3.3 per cent on the capital invested,

while the live stock men netted-5.5

per1‘cent.



From these figures it is apparent

’that the additional live stock farming

business enables one to utilize waste

products and waste labor and thus

materially increases profit.





 





CERTIFIED SEED SELLING.





 





MICHIGAN certified seed has gain-

ed a good reputation in many of





the eastern-states, principally Penn- '





s'ylvania .and'Ohio. This year over one

.hundred fifty cars of Michigan certified

potatoes willgo to Pennsylvania for

planting purposes, ahd ' lately Ohio

placed a single order for thirty cars.

‘Within the State the farm bureau has

orders for over fifty cars. Orders for

seed potatoes are constantly coming

in and it will be only a shOrt time be-

fore the 230 cars of certified stock will

be sold.

necessary. so the mill-gin was dangers

For weeks. and especially during the

last few days, the executive branch at

save Farmers From Themselves.



Senator 'Burney Brower‘, the, goVer-f

nor’s senatorial spokesman, led the?

battle against the gas tax. He stated

that the farm, organizations and farm-’

era generally didn’t know what was

good f0r them, and that it was the gov-

ernor’s purpose to save them from

themselves. Farmer ‘membera ,seem

inclined to yield to advice from the

folks back home rather than from the

executive office.



Senator William M. Connelly,chair-





‘ man of the state highway committee,





lzme the brunt of the fight for the gas

tax. He pointed to the very satisfao

tory experience of the twenty-live oth-

er states that already have a. gas tax.-

No one seemed able to dispute his'

statements that a gas tax was the only.

known means of deriving highwayl

lunds flom drive—away cars and the;





allowed $321,000,000 exemptions, leav-

ing a taxable personal income of. $432,-

000,000, which at four per cent would





. yield $17,280,000.





,In 1920, 305,000 persons had a per-





' sonal income tax of $996,000,000 and

were allowed $526,000,000 exemptions, _





leaving a taxable personal income of

$470,000,000, which at fourtper cent

would yield $18,800,000.





The above figures do not include any

incomes of state ofllcials and em-

ployes, city officials and employee,

public school teachers, etc, all of

which would be included in .the pro-

posed flat four per cent state income

tax. The state pays about $12,000,000

per year in salaries, and the public

schools pay $29,000,000 to $30,000,000

per year in salaries to public school

teachers.



It might be worthy of note here that

House Bill No 377 includes moneys

not only from state, county and city





' officials, which the federal income tax





does not, but that it includes incomes

from rents, interest, speculative prof-

its, dividends, salaries,

services and all sources whatsoever,

except salaries of United States ofll-

cials, United States government bands





could not legally be included. This, ‘or

course, would help swell the revenue

It is plain therefore,

that this tax would easily yield from

$14,000,000 to $16 000 .000.

The proposal to make eastern time

seven to fifty-live.





Primary Flmd Gets Attention.





Probably the biggest public hearing,’





to be held so far this session was de-

voted to an explanation of the pro.

posed new system of apportion-lug the

primary school interest fund.





Leading educators fromhall parts of,





the state appeared in faVor of the

change. The only opposition to appear

was from Detroit. This failed to make

much impression, as the arguments

advanced did not lip-pear very Weigllty

to the assembled representatives.



More representatives are getting in

line daily behind this important piece

of school legislatiOn. There is every

indication that it will pass.

will afford increased assistance to the

poorer school districts. and distribute

the fund more in proportion to the

need.





Taxes and Still More Taxes





(Continued from page 482).





The tax is payable March 1,1924, on

the income f01 1923, and annually

thereafter fifteen days before: the fed—





, oral income tax is due, and all state





income taxes would be, a deduction

from the federal income tax.



All moneys received under this in):

would go into the general fund of the

state to be used for such purposes as

the legislature might appropriate.





How it Would Hit the Farmer.



It, is apparent that the enactment of

the Byrum bill would offer real rellel‘

for the farmer taxpayer. In 1921 the

general property tax was borne by the

various classes ol‘ our. citizenship-as

follows:





State corporations paid. . . ‘. . .85 625, 000

Other city property paid“ .7,275 ,000

Villages of state paid ....... 1.550000

Twps. outside villages paid. 6,000, 000



Total ........... . .. ..$20, 450,000





These alnounts, therefore, represent

the division of the relief which would

be afforded by a state income tax to

replace general property tax for state

purposes. 0 . -





Under present economic conditions

the amount paid by farmers under the

proposed income tax scheme would be

small.

tax last year you might expect to pay

about the same amount for a state in





come tax under the proposed system.





We haven’t‘ heard of many farmers

who Were hit very hard by their in-

come tax.



Thus it is plain to see‘ that the pro-

posed bill would shift the big burden

of state support from the farmers, who

are already over~taxed, to thousands

of individuals who, while probably

owning no taxable property, still have





healthy incomes, and might well help '





support the state whose protection

l , - - . , to Users-of Farm Machines





' - ARM equipment in the past has been far too complex; there are many

Funnecessary models, styles, and sizes of machines on the market. The



demand for yariations has forced extra manufacturing costs and the main-

tenance of extra cumbersome repair service; all of which has interfered with the





.efiiciency of both makers and users of farm machines.





, The Harvester Company has long struggled to reform this tendency which is a

relic of the time of hand-made tools, when each buyer saw to it that his own special

ideas were carried out. Very definite progress has been made and we now ofier

allyevery grower in Michigan has

his pet date, ranging from May 20 to

June 20, on which he “calc’lat‘es” to

p1.ant his spuds.

delays, some of which are unavoidable,

most growers plant toward the end of

, the abbve period, probably more pota-

Htoes being planted after June 15 than





before that date In the writer’s opin— ,.





don, the average planting date in Mich-

igan’ s potato sections might well be

two Weeks’ earlier, say June 1 to 5.





Iiet us consider first, the objectitIns

to- earlier planting. The first voice

that is raised will be that- of the old-

time grower who considers the potato

'.bug theggreatest menace to his peace

and presperity. He plants late to

avoid the bugs. Their appearance in



“hie field~means a fight, whileto the

grower who is spraying regularly with

" Bordeaux, the appearance of “bugs”

involves simply the addition of ’arseni-





cals to this spray fmixture; with no _





added labor. The cost of the arseni—





cals is more than offset by the advan-





tages 0f early planting.



Another objection to earlier planting

is the shortening of the time available

for fitting the soil if the plowing is

done in~the spring- However, fall

plowing is entirely practicable on





most farms, and much to be desired if ’

a second'crop of clover or alfalfa is "





'turned down, as is quite commonly

done. ' ' ,



Some seasons, in some sections, the

early planting turns out to be a disad-

vantage, because of the “setting" (If

the tubers during a period of drought.





. But a. disastrous drought may occur





. in July, or August or September. In

any case it constitutes a menace to

the crop regardless of the date of

planting.





In southern Michigan section: there

’may be a slightly better yield from

late than early planting, other condi-

tions being identical. In fact, there

‘is an old saying in regard to planting

dates: ‘ “June 1 for quality. June 20

for quantity."





That one word “quality” expresses

volumes that might be said about ear-

lier planting of potatoes. When the

crop is planted so late that it must be





f hustled out of the ground in an imma-_





ture condition in the fall, quality is

found to be sacrificed. No amount of

grading will make a. batch of imma-

ture, skinned-up, "feathery,” blackened

potatoes attractive to the eye of the

buyer. When Michigan potatoes are

selling in the large markets at prices

considerably lower than stock from

other states, it is a mighty "good time

for the Michigan grower to consider

every means of improving quality.





_ “Field .Frost,” which is also respon- ~





sible, to a certain extent, for present

prices, is quite often intimately asso-

ciated with late planting becauSe of

the inability of the grower to store or

market his crop before severe freezing

gets it.——E. S. Brewer.





 





GIVE THE HIDE A CHANCE.





 





_N taking hides from animals and

putting them on the market, there

. are two things to consider: In the

first place,‘ the utmost care must be

exercised in removing the skin to





avoid cuts and scores, and when the . f





hide has been removed it should be

salted ”with fresh, clean salt Salt

which. has been spent has but little





rep potatoes Prac- f

YEAR ago,’ ’writes Benjamin Ger-

lack, of Kingston, New York, “I

purchased a 5 3H. P. Hercules Gasoline

Engine, thinking thatit would help the

hired man and me about the barn and

farm. '





“It has done more than that. It has





‘ saved me the wages of one man, besides





making the work easier for all of us.

It has aIready paid for itself. . . .

I call it my partner.”





The Hercules is a partner that does

more than its share of the work with-

out asking a share in the profits. And

its work is the hard work, the back-

breaking, uninteresting work. It saws

the wood, pumps the water, runs the

dairy, the washing machine, the feed

grinder, the machine shop—the jobs

that no one else wants to do. And it

does them faithfully the year ’round.





On your farm there is work for the

Hercules. There is a Hercules de-

signed to do that Work so efficiently,

so much better and more quickly and

at such a saving that, like Mr. Gerlack,

in a short time you can say, “It has paid

for itself.”





Hercules Engines range in size from

1% H.P. to 12 H.P.—both gasoline and

kerosene types. They are equipped

with the latest type of magneto—one

that keeps the engine at work out-of-

doors in any conditions of weather.





There should be a Hercules dealer

near you. If there is not, write us and

let us advise you about the ideal power

for your farm—the size and type of

engine that will best suit your require-

ments.

SHE whimpered like a baby that was

cold and lay down beside him

fThen as- the wind annoyed her she





moved as near to him as she could





get. There came upon the cold, sting-

moaning wind another coyote

howl. long-drawn, shrill, mad. and





lustful.





It seemed far away but they; ..





cred up all things with a heavier

whitenets than that. of any frosty

morning in her experience. And she





expected that with the coming. of the'





warmth of day it would all disappear

Yesterday it had taken the terms of

the things it had covered, this morn-

ing only the beads of the horses stuck





.pressibly terrifying. Little Queen‘ was,” out of the drifts of it, while' stones





ed her trembling head. The old sorrel,

pricked his cars. But she saw the big

pointed cars go back into place again

‘ and the big shadowy head take its for-

mer sleep position. He was not

afraid. she was glad of that; but: she

was afraid. Strange images, vision-s

she sought to.driv'e from her mind by

closing her eyes, tormented her.





She was lying right against his back.

Slowly she lowered her head upon his

neck. testing his/willingness by de.

grees. When her head was finally

resting fully on his neck, he only

whinnied softly, and Queen tried her

best. to reply gratefully. A feeling of

inefi’able gratitude swept over ‘her

with the warmth of his body.





All through the night she thought of

her mother, when awake. and dreamed

ol’ her when asleep. A thou-sand times

she broke from her light snatches of

slumber. from her horrible dreams of

coyotes. to pierce the storm-filled

gloom with hm‘ terrified eyes, expect-

ing hopefully to find her mother stand-

ing over her and looking down upon

her: but only the emptiness of the

night. obliterating the world‘she had

known. shrieked with an uncertainty

.lhzu tilled upvher soul.





'l‘ [s only the foolish who bewail the



inevitable with wasting passion; it

is after all the wise who accept it and

make the most of things. Because the

inevitable is so much more the ruling

force in animal life. animals adjust

themselves more quickly to new condi-

tions. Conceited man

Yet 'when little Queen awoke on the

rfirst morning of her orphanage, there

had already come into her eyes and

upon her head a perceptible sadness,

.the sadness of resignation.





A great change had come over the

- world in that single night and so dif-





lerent did it seem from what she had;





,knowu it to be, that as far as she

‘ could think, the night might have been

a space of, years; that years might

have elapsed since her mother, who

hitherto had always warmed and fed

and protected her, now had ceased to

warm and feed and protect her.





How white the world was! The lit:

about in the air at nightfall ha’d cov;

and coyote-dens had been ctrmpletely

wiped out of existence. Her own feet

were out of sight. , She jumpedvup to

She poured the snow very close to him

and as soon as she spied him eating.

she would seize as much. of the grass





‘he had uncovered as she could. then





quickly go back to her own.





HUNDRED times that morning



she 'wearled of pawing snow, and

each time herhead "wouldgraise and

she would look wistfully on? in'tospace

with .the irrepressible impulse to go‘

looking for her‘mother; but she did

not'know which way to go in every

respect, in every aspect, her life and

the earth had changed in the night.

When, as she looked. it seemed to her

that a certain direction was the‘right

one. she would think of the coyotes

and fear would extinguish the impulse.

She made several attempts to get the

old sorrel to go With' her. She would

start off in what appeared to her the

right direction, and walking a few pac-

es would stop and call to him. He

would pay no attention to-her for a.

while; then as if to stop her calling,

he would walk over to where she was

and begin to paw the snow there. But

it took so much energy and so much

time to get him over each bit of space,

that she made little headway: and

when darknes began dulllng the

whiteness. her ear of the coyotes who

seemed to people the shadows became

so intense, she. did not dare to leave

the sorrel even to the extent of ”a few

Several very sad; dull days went by.

Then came a day during which the

sun shone for a while and made her

feel better. But it melted the surface

of the snow and the cold evening froze

it into ice. The struggle for grass be-

came harder and her constant slipping

made his very disagreeable.



She saw the black colt now and

then. Though he was livelier and tar-

more happy than she, he made no at-

tempts to-molest her. Tolerance char—

a health resort in Tennessee to

in the class with Red—Tops. There

are over a hundred Fords here

besides Dodges and other makes

I





HERE came a grey day. A north

wind' whistled over the hard crust



on the snow and loaded, black clouds



dropped were white flakes with list-,



less irregularity. Something pervaded



the airy-of this day which was so sim-



ilar to the day when she had lost her



mother that she became irresistibly

‘ restless; All day this restlessness



made it hard for her to dig. Late in

the afternoon she started away with a

suddenness that she herself could not

understand. Up the slope and over

the plains she went, sinking into deep

drifts, pulling out again and going on

without. a. pause, pursuing the image

of her beautiful motherthat had sud-4

denly lighted up in her soul and as

suddenly gone out again, before she

could touch it.- Somewhere in the dis-

mal swirl it was and she struggled

bravely but blindly after it, calling in

vain as she went. .



For fully an hour she plodded

through snows that were piling up a

foot above the harder crust, slipping,

bruising herself on- lhe jagged ice,.

resting when she. could not go on any

farther and coming at last to an under-

standing that she had been madly pur—

suing nothing, that she was lost, and

that, she wanted the protection of the

old sorrel. She called to him again

and again before ’she stopped to listen

1'01 3. leply and suddenly became

aware of an agreeable sound floatihg

on the wind



She called again. striking out mean~

while in the direction from which she _

instinctively felt. the sound had come.

Night was close at hand. The light

that was still left was weakened by

the. showers of snow flakes tha‘t' now

fell rapidly and without interruption.

Again it seemed to her she heard ‘a

reply. She spent more energy in call-

ing than she did in pushing on, occa~

sionally falling into a deep drift and

remaining there for some time before

she made an effort to extricate her-

self. Who it was answering her in the





‘3'





All she knew and felt. with every liv

ing cell of. her being was that in the

cold desolation that was submerging

her, the thing that was answering her

could save her from the unthinkable

horror of being alone



Her strength ebbed fast from her

limbs, only the steady nearing whinny

made her last efforts possible. Then

suddenly, much sooner than she ex—

pected it', a black object appeared in





last whinny was more distinct than any

of the others. Before her, struggling

toward her as she had been struggling

toward him, was the black colt. ’11?

But one may suspect that a proportion





' , at least, of them are, and it. may not





be amiss to stop and consider a few.

of the victories that old people have

attained. Sometimes grandfather

thinks that he is in the way, in this

bustling age. His ideas are outworn,

he is not always in sympathy with the

way things are done now, and he is

called an old fogy. The Story of Abra-

ham, which is the subject for the Sum

day School lesson this week, is the

story of a very old man who retained

the spirit of adventure, up to the last.

.And it is the spir-

it of adventure

that keeps one

“young. When Ab-

raham was 01d he

undertook an ad-





 





venture from

which many

younger men





w ou 1d h a v e

shrunk. He went out into a new coun-

try. He pioneered. He may not have

gone in a prairie schooner, as the fath-

ers did seventy-five years ago, but his

caravan of camels was just as pictur-

esque. ‘ “By faith Abraham, when he

was called, obeyed to go out unto a

place which he was to receive for an

inhemtance; and he went out, not

knowing whither he Went.” To the





and spirit 6f youth.





One of the most Widely known min-

isters in Great Britain is‘Doctor‘ John

Clifford, pastor of Westbourne Park

Baptist Church, London. For forty

years he retained the active leadership

of this great congregation, and only be-

came pastor emeritus five years ago,

at the age of eighty. He is now eighty-

six. For half a century he walked ten

miles.every day to keep up his health.

He says he can’t. walk quite that far

now, but he is continually at his work,

Writing and preaching. Bishop Samuel

Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal

Church, died last year at eighty-seven.

When he was eighty-five, he was still

active and vigorous He walked two

miles every day and took calisthenic

exercises, to maintain his health. He

had been a tremendous worker all his





 





 





' life. He went through the Civil War.





The editor of the health department

111 the Chicago Tribune Wrote of Bish-

op Fallows as he was at eighty-five as

follows: “Whoever y are, I hope

you will be as straig in body, as

square shouldered and as firmly mus-

cled at fifty as Bishop Fallows is at

eighty-five. I could wish you nothing

better than at sixty your mind will be

as clear, your judgment as straight,

and your capacity for sustained atten-





, tion and emotional flights as good as





that of Bishop Fallows at eighty~five.

Few men at sixty ‘work as hard, take

fewer vacations, or stand up as well





as does this clean- -livingman 0f eighty-

A'- FEW years ago at the Presbyter-



ian General Assembly that body

of almost a thousand people, was ad-

dressed by a man ninety-eight years “of

age. He spoke with vigor and incisive-

neés on Sabbath observance. When

the venerable man rose to speak the

great audience also rose, cheering, to

greet him. When this man was sixty-





seven years on he heard that some of





the members of his church thought he,

was getting too old. He immediately

resigned,- and after that founded sight





_ ”.mission churches, which he built- up

we look at this matter 'of old age from

the standpoint of the mind. There are

vast treasures of the mind which only

age can compass. Here are a few in-

stances of men. who became bid in

body, but who refused to allow the

mind to lose its edge.

eight, Doctor Samuel Johnson was

still writing. Sir Isaac Newton, the

astronomer, was Working at the stars

at eighty-three, and Thomas Scott was

beginning to study Hebrew at eighty-

six, while Von Humboldt, the scientist,

kept up his old pace of work at ninety.

Some of the most renowned statesmen

have done their best work when many

men are sitting around the fire, and

reminiscing. Gladstone was prime min:

istcr at eighty-four, and fighting for

home ru‘ e for Ireland George F. Hoar,

01 Massachusetts, was in the United

States Senate when past seventy, and

began his “Memories of Seventy

Years.” One of the outstanding exam-

ples of men who are alert and still

growing, are two university presi-

dents; one is Charles W. Eliot, former-

ly president of Harvard, the other

William F. Warren, formerly president

of Boston University. Doctor Warren

is eighty- pine. When he was eighty-

seven he wrote a long article for a

magazine. I wrote him, congratulating

him that he was still enjoying good

health, and using it as of old, for_ the

public good. He replied, with a very

charactelistic letter.





0





OF course, it would be rather pre-v





sumptuous for me to give advice





as to the attainment of old age. I may“





be dead before strawberry time. But

in general it may be said that the in-

ner state has much to do with the at-

tainment of a happy old age. A clear

conscience, peace of mind, belief in

the goodness of God, have not a little

to do with the vigor of body and mind.

Many instances of hale old age con-

firm this. One ought to be always

growing. The body stops, gets tired,

acts up like an old watch, but the

spirit refuses to yield. When John

Quincy Adams, the sixth president of

the United States, was past eighty, he

met a friend on the streets of Boston.

“Well,” said the friend,‘"How is John

QuinCy Adams today?” “John Quincy

Adams," said the aged statesman, “is

very well and happy, but the body in

which he lives is pretty well worn out.





I suspect, he will be moving cut, one '





of these days, into a better and more

satisfactory abode.” There are some





men who never do get old, and you"





can't kill them off.



Not long ago a newspaper man be-

gan looking into the matter of old age

in and about Chicago. He found Henry

Rose, for instance, past eighty, going

to his work as barn boss of a. large

company, every morning at five o’clock.

Another man, born on a. farm, is at:

his office eVery day at eight o’clock.

He is a surveyor, and is ninety-one

years of age.



The psyChologist says that the

structure cf the brain is such that new

ideas are possible almost up to any

age. People do not need to live in

the past.- because they are of advanced

years.

The Strange difference

Why the kind that dissolves instantly

Salt is not just salt. There is a world of difference.

Ordinary salt is made up of either hard, granular,

non-porous crystals, or flakes. Both forms are slow

dissolving and do not give best results.





Colonial .. Special Farmers Salt is the only salt of ' a

Soft, porolrs, flaky texture. That is why it is the

“quickes dissolving salt in the world." This is the

kind that you should use wherever salt is called for.

Salt is more economical be-

NOW the call on farms is for all men’s energies, and the





one source is the food they eat. So be particularly care-





dul of those you choose—select the energizing ones.





Raisins Rich In It

Raisins are the leading fruit in energizing power. They





canton crepe, ”we de chine out,“ furnish 1560 calories of energizing nutriment per pound.





A pound of eggs supplies only one-half as much.

Few meats equal raisins in this respect.



Raisins therefore should be served frequently“

to your men folks and their help.

. A luscious raisin pic, for instance, is ideal des-



’ son. It revives tired men almost at once, [36- .

cause the raisin’s sugar is in practically pre-

digested form and its energy goes quickly to the

blood.



F umishes natural food-iron also which the

blood needs every day.



Men like these delicious pins that so cfiec-

tively renew them. You can serve them at least

twice a week.

Dear Uncle Frank:



You cannot imagine how pleased

and surprised I was when I received

the Merry Circle button and member-

ship card. I thank you ever so much

for them.



My little dog came to meet me with

the letter in his mouth. Mamma gave

it to him to meet me When I came

from school. -.I was so anxious I eat

right down and wrote to you. I am

glad I am invited in your Merry Circle.

My button is surely beautiful. I will

be pleased to wear it every day.



I will close. Your loving niece,

Lora. Vroman, Durand, Mich" R. 3.





Your letter sounds as‘if you will be

a loyal Merry Circler. That’s the kind

that will help make the Circle Jgrow.





Dear Uncle Frank: -



I am writing to thank you for my

Merry Circle pin and membership

card. And tell you about the first





0 skunk that my brother and I caught.





A few‘ years ago my brother and I

set some traps at a hole on a sidehill.

A few days after we had something in

it. We did not know what it was.

When. We killed it we soon knew what

it was. After it was dead we started

for the house. Before we got there

had it inside of my overalls and you

can imagine what they were like. I

have caught lots of them since and

know better than that now.



My letter is getting long, so I will

close—From a nephew, Manston At~

kins, Davison, Mich., R. 1.





It looks as if you learned from ex-

perience how to handle skunks.

perience is a great teacher, all right.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I want to thank you: for my pin and

my pencil. I didn’t think I would win

the first time I tried for a. prize, but

I use my pencil every day and \wear

my pin on my coat.



I think a contest on goodly deeds of

the past week would be a good con-

test, and see how good we can be.



For summer sports if you like fish-

ing just come and visit us this sum-

mer. We have a river running through

our farm and lots of beauties in the

trout line. Just come and try it once

Now, I hope the old Easter Rabbit

to all, Marguerite Stephens, Freesoil,

Mich. _ * . _ ‘

Your contest idea is good. Will use

it some time. Your fishing invitation

also sounds good. ,I. haven’t coaxéd

trout to bite .for‘so long I think I

would hardly know how.

Déar Uncle Frank: \

I name written you three times be-





fore but nothing printed yet. It’s three '





times and out, they say. Say, I tried

Bontia O’Dell’s candy recipe and it

sure was fine.



Ithink Harold Cotes sure put in a

dandy. I don’t care, because I don’t

wear knickers nor powder nor use

I thank you for the Harry Circle

ll, Pellston, Mich.





.There certainly is a. ditherence in

opinion about this knicker and bobbed

hair business. I would like to try

some of that candy myself.





 





Dear Uncle Frank: ‘

I believe there is a mistake some-

where (not that I like to say that you





‘ make mistakes), but in the flrst ques-





tion you said the answer was fifty out





' of every hundred, and when I found





the answer in the Michigan Farmer it

said fifty out of every one thousand.

Will you please look up the mlStake?

Say, ‘I don’t see why the girls and

boys jangle over being the smartest.





There are smart boys and there are ‘





smart girls. This club will never

amount to anything if the members

are always quarreling about who is

the smartest. Who is on my side?

Why don’ t you be jelly and peaceable?





Well, I guess I will close my "mouth- ,





piece.’ ’—-Your nephew, Herbert Estes.

Webberville, Mich"



This just goes to show that I make

mistakes once in a. while. You and

many other boys and girls were right

in bringing that to my attention. I

disagree with you about the club mem-

bers. I think they are quite a. jolly

bunch. _





Dear Uncle Frank: '



I received a Merry Circle button and

was very much pleased with it. Thank

White Diarrhea. We will let M11.

Bradshaw tell of her experience in her

own words:

v » "Gentlemen: I see reports of so

many losing their little ”chicks with

White ‘Diarrhea, so thought I Would

tell my experience. I to lo's‘e a

many remedies and was about dis—

Waterloo, Iowa, for their, Walko White

Diarrhea Remedy.

package's, raised 300 White Wyando‘tteo

and never lost One or had one sick

after giving the medicine; and my

chickens are larger and healthier than

ever before. I have found this com-

pany thoroughly reliable and always

get the remedy by return mails-Mrs.

C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.”





Cause of White Diarrhea





White Diarrhea is caused by the

Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This

germ is transmitted to the baby chick

through the yolk of the 11¢wa hatched

egg. Readers are warned to beware

of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until

it kills half your chicks. Take the

“stitch in time that saves nine.” Re-

member, there is scarcely a hatch'

without some infected chicks. Don’t

let these few infect your entire flock.





 





.Prevent it. Give Walko in all drinking





water for the first two weeks and you'

won’t lose one chick where you lost

hundreds before. These letters prove it:





Never Lost a Single Chick





Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

Ind., wr1tes: “I have lost my share of





 





. chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally





I sent for two packages of Walko.I

raised over 500 chicks and I never lost





, a single chick from White Diarrhea.





Walko not: only prevents White Diar-

rhea, but it gives the chicks strength

and vigor; they develop quicker and

feather earlier.”





 





,Never Lost One Alter First Dose





Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, when but a few days old, he-

gangto die by the dozens with White

Diarrhea. I tried dilferent remedies

and was about discouraged with the

chicken business. Finally I sent to the

Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa,

for a box of their Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing

for this terrible disease. We raised

700 thrifty, healthy chicks and nevec

lost a single chick after the first dose.”





You Run No Risk





We will send Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk

—postage prepaid—so you can see for

yourself what a wonder-working rem-

edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby

chicks. So you can prove—as thou-

sands have proven—that it will stop

your losses and double, treble, even

quadruple your profits. Send 5°C for

package of Walko-—- give it ingall drink-

ing water for the first two weeks and

watch results. You’ll find you won ’t

lose one chick where you lost hun-

dreds before. It’s a positive fact. We

film-ant» it. The Leavitt & Johnson



aflonal Bank, the oldest and strong-

est bank in Waterloo, Iowa, stands

back of this guarantee. You run no

risk. If you don’t find it the greatest

little chick saver you ever used, your

money will be instantly refunded.

April, a. neighbor, by oversight. shut a.

sitting hen off her nest at night; she

had been sitting about two weeks. The

eggs were from pure-bred stock, had

cost quite a. little, ‘and he natuially

was anxious about them. When the

amident was discovered in the morn-

ing the eggs were thoroughly cold and

probably had been for ten hours or

more, but they were at once placed

under the hen, which? in the course of

time brought outg eight apparently

strong chicks. .They did not hatch

until the twenty second day, due to the

chilling, but they were an active lot of

chicks and every one of them was

raised. H

A few years ago in tmning the eggs

in an incubator, I neglected to close

the door of the egg chamber, and did

not discover it until nearly night. This

was in March and the weathei quite

chicks were not quite as strong as

usual, but they did fairly well. For

Sitting hens it is best to have 11 sep-

“My work as field man for the

Wisconsin State Dairymen’s Asso-

ciation,” says Herman Marx, in a

recent letter, “brings me into con-

tact with a great many farmers

and a great many separators. Of

all the farmers who own separa-

tors, I find about 80% of them

own a De Laval.





“For close skimming, low up-

keep, easy running and long life

it is hard to beat a De Laval. I

have adjusted a good many sepa-

rators and I find that the easiest

one to adjust is a De Laval.

in place of some other they were

using saved enough money to pay

the interest on a fair sizedJoan.”



—-A remarkable tribute to the

De Laval Separator, not only be-

cause it shows that the majority

of experienced farmers in the great

dairy state of Wisconsin use and

appreciate the De Laval, but be-

cause it proves that it makes them

money as well.



The present De Laval is the best

De Laval Separator ever made. It

skims cleaner, lasts longer and is

easier to clean and operate than

any other. It will pay for itself

in a year’s time, and is Sold on

such easy terms that you can use

it while it is doing so. See your

local De Laval Agent or write us

Opinion that, at present‘priees, dairy-

ing is sure to be profitable. ., ‘ , p



This is a decidedly' wrong conclu;

sion. The best dairymen today, men

who figure carefully on rations and

management, will tell you that you

must have good cows today. even with

fair prices, to enable you to make a

profit. The poor cow will give you red

ink on the ledger. She always has and

always will. Only selected cows can





- turn a, dollar’s worth of feed into milk





or butter or cheese and make a profit.

‘The man who now changes from

some other line of agriculture and

goes into dairying is quite liable to

Herd of Findlay Brothers.





rue the day he does it. He must have

selected cows, and he must give them

proper care and feed if he hopes to

make his change profitable. Just buy-

ing a lot of cows as ordinarily offered

for sale will put him in a hole so far

as profit is‘ concerned, unless he pays

good prices and gets cows of proven

ability to produce. About the only

way to get a profitable herd is by rais-

ing his own cows and testing out the

unprofitable. This is a slow process,

requiring careful breeding and select-

ing; but it is the real way. Anyother

way will give him plenty of poor cows.

Can there be any excuse under the

sun for keeping an unprofitable cow?

She may help out a little in giving a

man a. job, and she may convert some

of the rough feed on the farm, straw,

cornstalks, etc., into manure that will

give quick fertilizer results; but it





‘ would be much more profitable-to al-





low time to change the condition of

this roughage into an available form

without an overhead expense than to

keep an unprofitable cow to do the

job. Better, by far, would it be to con-





a. profitable cow in her place.





The only sane reason that can be

given for a man keeping‘an unprofit-

able cow is his ignorance of the fact

that .he has her. This isn’t a good

reason, for he should know. The cow-

testing association will keep him post-

ed. But if the testing association is

not available, he can do his own test-'

ting. It is not a difficult job to weigh

the-feed once a month and carefully

estimate its value, and weigh the milk

and test it for butter-fat. Charge the

cow with her feed and credit. h‘er with

her milk at market prices. . That is all

the cow-tester does,except perhaps to

give you some good, advice. 4

. If the unprofitable. cowonly injured





her owner, it would not be's‘ofbad; but '





her product placed oh the market de-





presses the market and keeps prices





down. So poore cows owned by one





man. not only gets him nowhere, but ‘

prevents other people and. ‘himsolfi ‘





"from making the profit they should

from the milk of their good cows. It

(is like the farmer eating oleo and sell-

ing , his butter—he deprives himself,

his wife and children of life-giving

vitamines and he depresses the mar-

ket for all. butter, his own included;

If every farmer who now uses oleo

would. use butter freely it would with-

hold enough. butter from the market

to affect the price of all butter. So

the farmer would get as much for the

butter he sold other than he consum-

ed, as he would for tliegwhole amount

produced, and he would be ahead what

he pays out for oleo, besides having

a much better food. '





The key to the future prosperity of





the dairy industry is the unprofitable '





cow. Take care of the dairy market

from now on by disposing of her. No

loss is occasioned when you sell her.

In fact, everybody would be better 01!

if he had to give her away. By re-

lieving the market gradually of her

product which in the aggregate

amounts to much, the market can be

kept “bullish" instead of

prices maintained or increased, and

dairy prosperity continued.



If some sensible, logical way which

could be universal is not put into

practice at once, you will see the dairy

markets go smash 'in the next few

years from over-production. The cow

owners must find the way themselves.

The middleman and broker will not

urge such a plan. The more milk, but-

ter and cheese they get, the better for

them, but not for the farmer.



This question Ought _‘to be discussed

at every. opportunity Kath all farmers'

organizations, local - farm bureaus,

granges,‘ farmers” clubs, gleaner ar-

bors; and more than that, lt‘should be

carried to every individual farmer.

Drive the truth'home with so much

vigor that the future dairy market will

be protected by’ the “control 0f milk

production through the converting of

unprofitable cows into cheap beef‘ for

the masses.—‘—L. C. '

WHEAT





Wheat prices seem to be back in a

rut once more so far as cash demand

is concerned, but prices are sustained

by the uncertain outlook for the new

crop. The outlook for the new winter

wheat crop will be influenced largely

by weather conditions in the next few

weeks. It’s condition on December 1

was comparatively low at. 79.5. Flour

trade was unusually dull last week

with mills operating at little more than

fifty per cent of capacity.





- RYE





Export sales of rye expanded last

Week with Norway and Germany the

principal buyers. In view of recent

reports of purchases of rye from Rus-

sia by Germany, the sale of a cargo of

American rye to Riga with inquiries

for more, is of interest.





CORN





Both corn and oats seem to be gain-

ing in strength. With the spring plant-

ing season at hand, the movement to

terminals is apt to fall off without a

pr0portionate decrease in the demand.

Prices for corn at interior points are

running higher than at Chicago right

along.» New Argentine corn is said to

be offered for export at a slight dis-

count below our: prices but world ship-

ments have fallen off sharply in the

last'six weeks and stocks abroad as

well as on ocean passage are small so

that importing countries are obliged

to buy in this country in order to ob-

tain quick delivery.





OATS





A Oats seeding in many important

states has been delayed by cold weath-

er so that the crop is getting an unfav-

orable start. It is possible that the

late season will result in an increased

. acreage of oats in the spring wheat



states. Receipts of oats are fairly lib-

. era] for this season of the year, but

. the v1s1ble supply has‘decreased with-

._ out interruption each week for the last

two months as a result of a good do-‘

.* mend for cash oats. ' -_ ’ . :

than usual in April but thereis little

likelihood of any important advance in





prices. I F 5—





While wheat feed prices developed

strength in the last few days in

March, conditions were unusual and

the market is expected to sag again

along with other feedstuffs whiChre-

main weak. Bran for Juneshipment

is. quoted $7 lower than the prevailing

prices. Linseed meal and cottonseed

meal declined $1 per ton and gluten

feed $2 last week. Stocks of feedstuffs

in most sections are reported as being





ample.

HAY





The hay markets are firm with un-.





usually cold weather and light receipts

the chief'factors. Demand for imme-

diate consumption is active. Stocks

of hay on farms on March 1 were esti-

mated at 32.7 {per cent of the 1922

crop. No report upon stocks as of this

date in previous years is available.





POULTRY AND EGGS





'l‘he'movement of eggs into storage

broadened last week.

increased rather steadily and prices

were low enough ‘to attract storage

buyers. Since the storing season is

starting late, values are unlikely to go

lower, at least until the approach.of

hot weather when the eggs arriving

are less suitable for packing. Many

Texas and Oklahoma eggs are arriv-

BUTTER





‘ -The butter ”market was extremely

unsettled and ‘sensitivevlast week ow-

ing to the approach of‘ the-spring in—

crease in production and the declining

prices which it will induce. Receipts

have been irregular owing to storms

which also caused uncertainty as to

the volume of the make. some butter

from California and other western

statesalso arrived at Chicago and the

eastern markets and, along with a part

of the last cargo of. New Zealand but-

ter. which has not yet been disposed

of, contributed to the nervous tone.

The extremely narrow range between

various scores continues due to an un-

usually high percentage of the better

gradesin the receipts. The Chicago

market has been relative high com-

pared with eastern points because of

the influence of foreign butter.

GRAND RAPIDS





Growers of hothouSe leaf lettuce in

this territory continue to be victims of

unusual circumstances for this season

of the year. Sales of California head

lettuce on consignment have more or

less demoralized the market on leaf,

causing prices to sag nine and ten

cents per pound early this week. The

prices on this product barely held

steady this week at 10@11c. Other

greenhouse products were steady: as

competition from outside sources was

moderate. A fair inquiry for potatoes

is holding bids to producers at 60@70c

Retailers are

buying conservatively, however, al-

most on a day to day basis as they an-

ticipate a break as scan as shipments

pick up. The egg market was rather

unsettled early this week and prices

were on such high levels, as a result

of the run-up for Easter supplies, that

the trade made no secret of the, fact

that a break is anticipated 'before the

end of the week. Bidding was around

24c peridozen early this week, 'with

prospects ofufalling, to 230 by Wednes-

day. Packers may not enter the-man

ket until next week as they are afraid

of chilled eggs. Spring» lambs are in

the marketwith the butchers'bidding

around 350 per pound, dressed. Hogs

are firm at eight cents per pound, live.

FARMS CHANGE HANDS.





N a iecent survey made by the Unit-

ed States Department of Agriculture



‘nearly 1,,250 000 farms changed occu-

pants in 1922. This number makes the

proportion about one farm out of eve-

ry five which had some change of own-

ership or tenancy during the past year.

_ The actual change in ownership was

one out of sixteen, or nearly 400,000

farms; and in general more farms



4, changed owners in the west and south



f than in the New England and. central

west states.



Of the 2,300,000 or more farm ten-

ants in the United States, over 625,000

changed their scene of operation dur-

ing that year. More than seventy—five

per cent of these tenant changes oc-



' curred in fifteen southern states. The

per cent of farm-changing tenants

rangd from three per cent in Maine

to thirty-eight per cent in Oklahoma.

Seven southern states showed a

change of more, than thirty per cent.



Although the number of tenant farm-

ers in the United States shows a num-



. ber of 200,000 for the year, more than



230,000 tenants either discontinued

farming for some other occupation or

left their communities for parts un-

known to the United States Depart-

ment’s correspondents.





OUT-STATE MEN LIKE MICHIGAN.





 





URING the past few years, many

men from outside the state have

applied for and received county agent

jobs in this state. Also every little

while the Canadian government sends

a number of extension men to learn

our methods.

One wonders at the reason for this,

_ and an inquiry of one of the men who

came from another state brings forth

the reply that the reason why Michi-

gan is liked is because she is doing

things. Michigan county agents have

‘gotten out of the idea that their sole

duty is to teach the farmer to make

mwo blades of grass grow where one

grew before, but instead he tries to

help the farmer with all the problems

that confront him. The results of

these efforts are reaching other states

and agriculturarleaders are. anxious

to learn how it is done.

Undoubtedly we who are in the state

are too closely associated with the

~ work to be in a position to compare

our college extension work with that

of other states. But the people who

are in a position to judge fairly say

that Michigan ranks as a leader in do-

ing real constructive work for the

farmer. For that reason, leaders in

agricultural work in other states often

wish to come here to study our meth-

ods. During the past year seven men

{rem out of the state have been given

positions here. All of them previously

had extension experience in other

’ states.
