CURRENT COMMENT

 

 

Intense work is the best remedy for
worry:

A bad habit is like a broken stitch,- .

it spreads.

Forgive, then remember you have
forgiven.

The man who knows he knows little,
has wisdom.
HERE is a real
chance h e r e in

The Day- Michigan to do what
Old Egg 8. number of New Jer-
ldea sey farmers are now

doing. These farmers
organized the New Jersey Poultry Pro-
ducers’ Association, through which
eggs produced are carefully graded.
packed, advertised, and sold to con-
sumers in the metropolis.

Old eggs are usually not good eggs.
These farmers knew that, so they cap-
italized this wee bit of knowledge.
They chose to call their eggs the “day-
old eggs.” The people listened to the
story of how quickly the eggs are plac-
ed in consumers' hands. and later, up-
on sampling the eggs, they became cn-
thusiastlc.

The results were convincing. The
consumers in New York City were
willing to pay these farmers six and
two-thirds cents more than for the
best eggs that the Pacific/coast asso-
ciations could deliver. This margin
was the average for a six months’ pe-
riod. The total expense for maintain-
ing the association and selling the
eggs amounted to an average for six
months off just three cents per dozen.

Reports from every Section of the
country show that many of our. farm-
era are now choosing as between rural
and city life. Even now there may he
need of just such heroic decision as
the brave, Castilian made four centur-.
ies ago.

Some may choose what seem to
them ease and pleasure in urban life;
while others, forgetful of the immedi-
ate hardships and handicaps of the
country, may look ahead to the more
promising days upon the farm. ,

Remember, many things were de-
nied the great athlete, the champion,
of the prize-ring, the scholar, the

' statesman.

The doors of life are ever opened
to him who is ready to deny the ease
and comfort of building upon the sand
to take upon himself the burdens and
responsibility of digging down to the
rock.

RECENT trip to
the Pacific Coast

f

The has convinced the
Western writer that Michigan
Spirit farmers might well

take a lesson from

the habits of thought of their western
centemporarics. - *4

.To the “Nativb Sons.” as. well as to
a large adopted family, the Golden
West is the Promised Land. The peo
ple who live there have made, it such,
largely through their optimism, put
to a practical test. Even their climate

‘ is defended, when defense is needless.

It is either “perfect” or “unusual,” de‘
pending on the day. Faith in the ag-
ricultural possibilities of the country
has enabled its farmers to overcome
all obstacles; to make semi-arid and
desert lands blossom like the rose, yes,
and to literally "flow with milk and
honey." Faith in each other and in
the product of their labors has enabled
them to compete for consumer trade
in distant markets in their many lines
of production, Faith in their business
has enabled these farmers to over-
come many natural obstacles which
the farn’ters of Michigan do not have
to meet, and to maintain an optimism
which is notably in contrast with our
habits of thought.

We would do well to cultivate .this
western spirit, by a better recognition
of the‘many superior natural advan-
tages which are ours, and by working
together more closely to overcome our
common obstacles.

Let us emulate the western spirit
and be boosters all, for Michigan agri-
culture, and work together to make
good our claims.
agriculture be second to none in pros-
perity.

WORK

and ideals

’ are two oppo

e
{:3 ah sites. Work belongs
cram entirely to the physi-
Work. cal realm while ideals

have to do almost en-
tirely with the mind and the spirit

The typical idealists dream their
way through life often without thought
of physical comfort On the other hand,
the typical work, of the man—with- the-
hoe type, plods along without hopes
or ambitions.

Normally, we as human beings, are
physically, mentally and spiritually
constituted. So, both w01k and ideals
are necessary to the greatest fulfill-
.ment of life.
to work and the worker who refuses to

f idealize, are abnormal and are not do

compiishers of great things.

We" may well paraphrase the saying
of the-Jewish merchant, “Vat is life
mitout some deals?" and say, “What
is life without some ideals '2" It surely
must be a humdrum existence to live a.
life without hopes and ambitions.
Ideals are to life what oxygen is to
the flame; they make life’s fires burn
brighter.

The idealists who do not work are
usually not found on the farm, for
work is too much a part of farming
for them. But sometimes we find
workers whose ideals have gone to
sleep. Not only in farming is this so.
but in many other activities of life. It
is so easy to give up our hopes and
ambitions and just plod along through
life. '

When we get to the plodding stage,
it is essential that we look to our
ideals regardless of what the present
circumstances are. We must keep
them active, for there is nothing to
life after the fires of hope have gone
down. . .

The greatest enjoyment in life
comes from working our ideals and
idealizing our work.

who claims the distinction of being a

It is a fact that opportunity comes -

to him who goes after it instead of to
him who sits down and waits for it. It
does not make much difference what.

.it is that he wants, it is there for the

This fact is as applicable to the

' Southern Michigan Once Grew Clover
'r Abundantly.

..-..~:rg,...~§4;,_“_..f glam-..»

HE Upper Peninsula of the state

of Michigan is quite aptly nam-

. 'ed “Cloyerland. " In this section
and in some northern counties in

‘the Lower Peninsula, legumes, princi-
“ pally red/c lover, occupy one quarter

of the improved land in farms. Con-

trast this with the situation of some

of the southern counties where legumes
are grown on an average of one in
In a rotatiOn that
ineludes a legume only once in ten
years the soil nitrogen is being drawn
upon very heavily, at least in most

can be made toward permanent soil
improvement.

:2.

The older farmers will tell anyone

"that forty or fifty years ago red clo-

ver grew abundantly in the counties of
southern Michigan. Clover failures
Were practically unknown then, where-
as now it is estimated that one-half of
all clover seedings fail to get a stand.
Probably it was just as easy to grow
clover in southern Michigan then as it
is to grow it On the comparatively new
land of the Upper Peninsula now.
Evidently something has happened on
the farms in southern Michigan during
the past two generations. Fields that
should look green in mid-summer after
the wheat and oat‘ harvest is over
have a habit of acquiring a, rusty red
color, plainly visible as One travels

that the. seasons have changed; that

it isn’t so easy to grow clover as in"

times past. Less than half of the five;

million acres of small grains in Mich-
igan_are seeded to clover, clover and
timothy, or alfalfa, largely because of
the uncertainty of getting a stand.

Look to the Soil.

The real reason for clover failures
can probably be found in the ‘soil.
Acidity or sourness of the soil is be-
coming more and more common. Eve-
ry year the equivalent of a quarter of
a. ton of limestone is lost from each
acre in the drainage water. Continued
cropping has also greatly depleted the
phosphorous coutent. Legumes are

,iMafe Legalize;~ are Medea’ :22 Our Rotatiom to Keep Me 801/ Fertile

heavy feeders on both lime and phos-
phoriis. Sometimes a soil needslime
and phosphorus, and almost always a
response is secured 'from phosphorus.
In fact, phosphorus often makes the
difference between a good stand of do
ver and none at ‘all.

Fertilizer on Oats or Barley Helps
Clover.

Direct fertilizer applications on clo-
ver are beneficial, but often more prof-
itable returns can be secured by fertil-
izing the previous grain crop rather

heavily, allowing the clover to obtain

the residual effect of the fertilizer. In-
creases of from ten to twenty bushels

pez acre 01 oats are not uncommon
from two hundred to four hundred
pounds of a proper fertilizer. On,the
heavy sandy loams, silt loams and
clay loams “a 2—16-2 analysis or acid
phosphate is recommended for oats
and barley. On sands and light sandy
loams a fertilizer higher in nitrogen
should be used, especially where no
manure has been applied previously in
the rotation or where no legumes have
been grown. AdditiOnal top-dressing
with available nitrogen often proves
beneficial on lighter types of soils.
Where a legume, such as clover or al-
falfa is needed with a nurse crop, it is
generallywmore profitable to fertilize
the grain heavily than to fertilize the
clover later. A great deal depends up-
on the start which the clover makes
before the grain crop is taken off.
Moreover, the increase in grain often
pays for the cost of the fertilizer, leav-
ingthe increase in clover as clear
gain.

Fertilizing Clover.

There are times. however, when it
may be advantageous to make a direct
application on clover. If the previous
crops have not been manured or fer-
tilized, or it the clover seems to have
a good start but does not grow rapidly,
available plant food will help the crop
along. There may be a lack of potash
as well as phosphorus. The choice in
fertilizers under these conditions may
be confined to the 0—12—6, 014-4 and
acid phosphate—O. F. J.

Market

W flat Is Me Martel Price oftée Farmer’ '5 flméer?

.HIS is the type of question that
is béing so frequently asked
now-a—days and the question

that is not being answered very satis-
factorily by anyone, even’"the so—called
market experts. Nor is it the object
of this article to answer it. Rather,
we find it necessary to ask even more
questions.

In the first place, we wish to ask if
there has ever been a market price on
farm timber, logs or lumber? Has
there ever been a. time in the history
of Michigan when a farmer could sell
his woods crop on an open market and
at a publicly announced or known
’price? Did anyone ever see oak or
elm logs or poplar bolts quoted in the
market columns? Would any farmer
in Michigan'ever think of starting for
‘toWn with a load of logs today unless
he had first secured the bid or confi-
dential offer' for some local buyer?

Local mills often announce a price
to the farmers of the surrounding reg
ion covering certain wants, or special
needs, and for a limited period. Such
announcements cannot possibly be
called an open market, since there is
:no competition and no permanent de-
mand. Such have been and are at the
present time about all the “market"

that there has ever been for the farm-'

er ’s timber.
{there are buyer markets only. The
farm owner of timber seldom takes
, his timber seriously. He is apt to con-

sider it much as the New York farmer .

heard about for years at the institutes,
or read about in the farm papers, but
always passed it up as being good for
George.

. The farm timber owner never re-
quires his. timber land to ‘show a re

V turn on his investment, but seems to

be satisfied to let it yield a little dead
and dowu buzz wood, a few posts, or
a bee tree, now and then. Such a
course is the natural and logical one
to follow when there is no apparent
need for any other.

Suppose for a moment that our daily
paper gave us the average market
price of each of various forms of tim-
ber as it would come from the farm
with an 1’. o. b. shipping point price.
Then, imagine, if possible, some state-
wide organization that would handle
the work of timber marketing along
the general lines suggested above and
provide suitable shipping arrange-

Sanford .

ments at local cooperative headquar—
ters during the winter season oi" the
year.

There could be no greater diflirulty
encountered by those who endeavored
to build up such a state-wide market
service for timber and lumber than
there was by those who originaied'the
live stock shipping associations, or
the elevator exchanges. The fact that
one farmer could not fill a car with
logs or bolts is no reason 01' excusa
Why ten farmers should not be able to
ship four or five cars of such stock
from a single station during one win-
ter and receive the top prices for it.

Would such an arrangement mean
that every farmer would clear off his
woodlot at once or as soon as he could
get it skidded in to the station? Such
marketing benefits would probably be
used, it" available to the farmer, very
much as they are now used by him for

the selling of hogs 111 fact, there is
quite "a paiallel of service between
hogs and logs. Both are bulky. Both
are hard to load. Both roll, slide and
then go where they please, and event-
ually they enter similar shoots, or
slides, where there is “nothing lost
but the squeal.” Both are equally es-
sential to human happiness and both
command the very top prices from the
ultimate consumer.

Is the task of forming log shippers'
associations too big an undertaking
for the timber owners of the state to
contemplate. W'ith more than 600,000
acres of timber in the form of wood-
lots on the farms ol" the southern half
of the lower peninsula of Michigan
alone, and all of it capable of being
managed for continuous timber crop
production to the end of time, if not
even supplemented with half as much
more that is now worn out or idle
waste, does it not, we ask, seem to be
worthy of serious thought and action?

Are the owners of this last remnant.
of southern Michigan’s once splendid
hardwood forests going to allow the
“lump sum” buyer for the local saw-
mill to gradually and rather rapidly
buy up and destroy the future crop
possibilities of these Michigan farm
woods? This “lump sum” buyer has
no notion of saving the young growth.
No, indeed! That five-inch white oak
or elm sapling will make one two-by-
four sawed stick that is worth a quar-
ter or maybe thirty cents.

Someone says that such a plan is
not worth while now that the timber
is nearly gone anyway; or that this
management business is too compli-
cated; or that it takes too-long to see
results and too hard to get all the
farmers to work together” on a plan,

“N ‘ (continued on his?" 5“»


 
  

   
   
   
 

  

F the farmer’ s prosperity is picking
up, as leports agree, the farmer
must be practicing economy, for in-

;dex pricesdo not show up yet favorv

ably for his business. While ,farm- pric:

eslhave-advanced, so have others. The »

latest figures make clothing 100 per
cent higher in price than 1913; build-
ing materials ninety-two per cent; fuel
112 percent, an prices generally
about 100 per cent, while prices of
farm products are forty-two per cent.
'That is, what brought the farmer a
dollar in 1913 now brings him $1.43,
but what cost him a dollar in 1913 now
costs him $2. There is no way of get-
ting along under osuch conditions ex-
cept by economizing.

More and more his foreign market
tends to deindle as Europe curtails
consumption, and yet up to this year
the war stimulus to agricultural pro-
duction has been very high. Before
the war the average wheat crop in the
United States was about 650,000,000
bushels. In the last four years it has
averaged over 900,000,000 millions. To
find a market for this surplus indefi-
nitely is not to be expected, and the
wheat acreage will no doubt have to
go back to pre-war figures. There has
been a terrific slump in exports of
meat products from the war figures.
though this may be temporary. since
.meat exports have always ’ varied
greatly from year to year. But on
products of which a large surplus is
not produced prices are good, such as
corn. eggs, butter, milk and poultry.

With general employment in the
llnited States the farmer is assured
of good prices on all products whose
output is ordinarily not much above

the demands of home consumption.
But so many food products turn out a
surplus for export that the farmer is
still the under dog in’ the industrial
order.

 

Packer Merger 3 Mistake.

Armour and Morris seem to have
goue right ahead with their merger,
notwithstanding the notice served on
them by the secretary of agriculture.
Interference by the government is be-
lieved to have been forestalled through
the purchase of the property and plant
of the Morris Company by the recently
incorporated Delaware Armour Com~
pany, acting as a subsidiary of the Chi-
cago concern. Secretary VVaJlace has
no authority under the law to enjoin
or stop a merger until a higarihg has
been held and the facts etermined.
Date forsuch a hearing has been an-
nounced. If the testimony shows the
law has been violated. there may have
to be divorce proceedings.

The Armour-Morris combination is a
bad thing. The government should
have prevented it. It restricts compe-
tition. The danger is that sooner or
later one big concern will control the
entire packing business.

 

Sugar Gamblers Are a Menace.

Nobody defends the “sugar deal,” it
is everywhere conceded to be an out-
rageous gamblegraft.vClaus A. Spreck-
les who is to sugar refining what
Sehwab is to steel, condemns it 1111‘
sparingly and warns the sugar indus-
try that “once the public discovers the
sugar industry is dominated by specu-

Obtaining money under false pre-

While the national government is

how this time-honored statute may be

made to“ apply to rampant profiteering,

false pretenses. State prosecutors

Government Experts Report on Coal.

Government experts say the country
has many more coal mines than the
country’s fuel demand justifies, and a
surplus of miners and equipment. In
spite of this plenty there’s a coal fam-
ine in winter when folks need coal.
And profiteering holds revel.

When miners want wages, there’s
too many mines and miners. ‘W’hen
folk want coal, there’s a fuel famine.
Both ends pay the mine owner—~the
consumer in extortion prices for coal;
the miner in low wages.

 

Railroads Won’t Pay Excess Earnings .

The transportation act provides that ‘
half the excess earnings above the fair
profit guaranty shall be paid to the

ram

It has never had a better

government“. to ,‘provide a fund from
which the government may pay a prof— _
it to railroads unable to make a profit." ‘
'at existing high rates. Praeticcflly moire :
of this excess earnings has been paid
,‘The Interstate Commerce Commission

has ordered the railroads to pay May
1. The. big roads have made no secret
ofthe fact that they will not pay if
they. can help it.

7 The roads are perfectly willing to
accept profits made possible '«by the
Cummins-Esch Act, but theyobject to
the other provision of the law.
unconstitutional, they say. The pay~
ing in part of the law is perfectly right

and proper, but‘ the paying’éut‘ part. is '

unconstitutional. Nice distinction this.
The general idea prevails that‘the law
which is not fish for one fowl is not
fish for another fowl. , The railroads

‘dOn’t subscribe. to thisktheory. The

part of the law that makes the people
pay the raierads is just and equitable
and righteous but that part that says
the roads must give up part of their
profits is entirely unjust and unconsti-
tutional. That is the railroad view.

The iésu’e, .no doubt, will be tested
in the higher courts. ‘ The people will
be interested to observe if courts will
agree to this bizarre view of the law-M
that part of it is constitutional and the
other part unconstitutional. If the
courts should throw out the entire
Cumniins-Esch Aet, it would be a peo
ple’s victory. It VOuld clear the decks
for new railroad legislation based on
justice and equity to all the parties in
interest.

Comments from the State Capital

lELDING to the demand or a

great majority of Michigan prop

crty owners for a state income
tax to relieve the burden on real es
tate and general property, the general
taxation-committee of the house has
repm‘ted favorably Representative By-
rum’s personal income tax bill. This
measure which was explained in detail
in the last issue of the Michigan Farm-
er provides a flat income tax of four
per cent on all incomes earned in
Michigan, after deducting $1,000 for a
single. person, $2,000 for a. married per-
son, and $400 for each child or other
dependent.

Prospects are bright that the Byrum
bill will pass the house. No predie
tions are being made as to what the
senate might do with such a bill. If
the legislature should enact such a
measure to entirely remove the neces-
sity for a general property tax for
state purposes in Michigan, the citi—
zens of the state might forgive the
law-makers for many other shortcom«
ings.

 

No Child Slavery Found.

The legislative committee which has
been investigating charges brought by
the National Child Welfare Committee
' that child Iabm conditions are very
bad in the sugar beet districts of Mich-
jigan came back to Lansing with the

report: that. they did not find a single

The legislative investigators have
not submitted their report as yet, but
have sent summons to officials of the
Child Welfare Committee’ at Washing-
ton asking them to appear at Lansing
at their earliest convenience to reveal
to the committee all the evidence
which they may have tending to show
that. children are made slaves or. that
their physical and educational develi
opment is retarded by their employ-
ment. in the sugar beet harvest.

 

Unfair Potato Prices Attacked.

A bill aimed at the widespread prac-
tice of old-line potato concerns who
rob the farmers where there is no

competition, and pay more than the

market price for potatoes where there
is a farmers' cooperative association
in order to ruin the co-op., has been
introduced by Senator Bernie L. Case,
of Ithaca. This bill states that"‘any
person or firm engaged in the business
of buying potatOes for. resale, who
shall, with the intention of creating a
mondpoly or destroying the business of
a‘ competitor, discriminate between dif-

ferent localities. by purchasing such .

by imprisonment in the county jail
not to exceed six months.

 

Pure Seed Bill Passes.

The senate passed without opposi-
tion, Senator Leland’s bill to require
hone-st labeling of agricultural seed in
regard to analysis, origin and germi-
nation. The bill has been carefully
drafted by experts from the Michigan
Agricultural College, State Department
of Agriculture and the Seed Depart-
ment of the Michigan State Farm Bu-
reau and will insure the purity and
genuineness of seed sold within the
state.

Enforcement of this law will be left
with the state commissioner of agri-
culture who is empowered to seize and
hold seed which is being marketed
contrary to the provisions of the bill.
The present seed law has no such pro-
visions and so enforcement' has proved
extremely fldiflicult

While everyone agrees that a nation~

be preferable, still
Sanson points out that Michigan
adopted a. pure‘food law fifteen years
before the federal statute. He regards
a state truth-in-fabrics bill as an edu-
cational piece of legislation and points
out that Wyoming passed such a law
twa years ago and has found it very
successful.

 

Apportionment Fight Looms.

According to the constitution there
must be a reapportionment of the sen-
atorial and representative districts
this session, based on the 1920 census.
Several bill to carry out this consti-
tutional requirement have been pre-
sented, but as yet no actibn has been
taken. There seems to be ”no desire

among either. the senators or 'repr‘e- ,

sentatives to give Detroit all the them—'-
hers which a strict following of the
census figures would require. It is
feared that if that Were done it would

be a. case pf'a “tail wagging the dog” -
in the Michigan legislature in the _-fl1 f -,

line are passed the districts will re-

In Pennsylvania, and today he is one
of the leading farmers in Otsego conif-

the accumulatiOn of many years’ labor,

' and today he has three hundred acres

or land which is assessed at $20,000.
Instead ofka hut in the mountains to

the leader in promoting the county
agent idea and is now one of its
strongest supporters. More recently
he has been a very strong factor in
putting across the campaign for be-
vine tuberculosis eradication in the
county, for which funds have now
been provided. He is also assisting
materially in making the Top-o’-Michi-
gan Potato Show, to be held in Gay-
lord this fall, a big success.

Mr. Mankowski has made a success
of farming by following the same
methods that 'all other successful
farmers are using in that section of
the state. He raises only the best;
cares for it in the best way, and sticks
very closely to the program of “Lime-
stone, Legumes and Live Stock,” with
dairying‘as the main live stock and
potatoes as a cash crop. Above eyery
thing else, he is ‘open-minded and has

With the folks in Otsego county, this

the best herd of grade cattle in that
county. They know that he has al-
Ways milked six or more cows in order
that his labor might be well distribut-
ed throughout the year and his farm
might increase in fertility instead of
decreasing. They know that he has
always fed them liberally, believing
that “you can’t get anything out of
nothing." Nor does it take a very ob-
serving kind of a man to notice that
he has definitely tied himself to the
legume program—large fields of alfal-
fa and sweet clover abound on his
farm. As in all his undertakings, he
has gone the Whole way in assuring
himself of a crop by using only the
Grimm certified seed in his alfalfa
seedings and applying limestone to
the fields. Consequently, he gets large
yields of hay every year, which ena-
bles him to feed his dairy cows most
economically.

Like most 0tsego county farmers,
Mr. Mankewski also raises potatoes,
but, unlikemany of them, he 'raises

TESTS OF WHEAT.

 

ABORATORY tests of the various
L varieties of wheat grown in this
country have been conducted by the
department of agriculture. The object
of these tests is to enable extension
workers to bring to farmers essential
facts in regard to the quality of Wheat
as it relates to milling and baking.

Of the soft red winter wheat varie-
ties, Red Rock proved to, have the
highest bread-making quality, also it
makes the largest yields in the~south~
ern half of Michigan and adjacent sec-
tions of Indiana and Ohio. The poor»
est varieties of soft red winter wheat
were found to be Red Russian, Jones
Fife and Hybrid 123, especially in bak~
ing quality.

Fulcaster was found to be one of the
best of the soft red winter for milling
and baking. Fultz is also a leading
soft red Winter wheat, standing third
of all Wheat varieties in the United
States. It is higher in flour yield than
Fulcaster but lower in baking quality.

Enough has been shown by these'in-
vestigations to warrant the conclusion
that in selecting varieties of wheat for
seeding it is as important to have
some understanding of the milling and

AR-BO-HY-DRATES make up. about 60 per

cent of the average diet, They produce heat '
and energy. They are largely secured from the
grain and vegetable starches.

In the long, slow baking by which Grape-Nuts
is produced from wheat and malted barley, the grain
starches are partially pre-digested. They are changed

to“dextrins” and “maltose”—- forms of Carbohy-
drates so easy to digest that they form the basis of
the most suCcessful baby foods.

Many people have digestive trouble caused by the
food-starch in its original form, but Grape-Nuts has
been famous for a quarter-century for its exceptional
ease of digestion, and assimilation, and its splendid,
building nourishment. It is a food for strength and
energy, delightfully crisp and appetizing, made today
by the same formula which first brought this charm
for taste and aid to health to the world’s dining

, table. Grape-Nuts contains the iron, phosphorus
and the essential vitamin, so often lacking in modern,
“refined” foods.

considerably lessened for the more

justifiable in those days. .

But now, with more land cleared by
millions of acres than will ever be cul—
tivated, the sound of the sawmill and
the fragrant pile of hardwood sawdust
in the rapidly disappearing farm
woods, are the sure signs of that own
er’s indifference to his own best inter-
ests as well as his g1 eed ~

There is little hope for the man who ‘

heats his woodland as he does a grav-

el pit and refuses to recognize that it.\
has a cropping or replacement value.

Perhaps it is better to let him alone

and not endeavor to arouse in himlan~ '
other viewpoint, for Sooner or later

he will come to the end of his nature‘

given resource and be little better off

than as though he had never held it.

But to those of us who still have
woodland patches left, and who are
more or less interested in the profit-
able handling and care of them, there
arises in-our minds this query: Will
not an organized marketing system
for woodlot products have a‘ tendency
to stimulate. cutting, and thus hasten
the end-of the woodlot, thus defeating
our very object? The answer to this
may be found, »I think, with perfect
assurance of correctness, in the man—

And so it will be with the farm
woodland. When an annual yield of
‘logs, posts, fuel or bolts may be taken
from the woodlot and sold at an es-
tablished price of their worth to the
final user, there need be little concern

Ill/ .

- . An Acre
-' 0 N Michigan for the past ten years,
'anacre of corn has produced 32.3
bushels. For the last twenty years
the average has also been 32.3 bush-
els; but for the preceding twenty-year
period (18814900) the state average
was only 28.8 bushels per acre. These
averages are for all farms, all types
'of soil and.all seasons. The increase
of 3.5 bushels per acre during the last
twenty years over the former period
means about six million bushels annu-
ally for the state.

The incentive to grow more corn to
the acre should be greater in Michi-
gan than in Illinois or other corn belt
states, since a bushel of corn is al-
ways worth considerably more in
Michigan. The reason for this is read-
ily found in the fact that Michigan is
a buyer and not a seller of corn and
corn substitutes. Recently high freight
rates have added to the cost of corn
from outside sources.

An average of thirty-two bushels
means that the majority of farmers
are getting from twenty-five to forty
bushels to the aore. It means that a
good many are getting even less than
tWenty-five bushels and that compara—
tively few are above the fifty-bushel
mark. These figures, of course, refer

to ten-year average yields. _ , _

It must certainly be admitted that
the average Michigan farmeF, produc-
ing but thirty-two bushels of corn to
the acre, is not making much profit.
Perhaps he is little more than break-
ing even. Why, then, are so many
farmers willing to produce these low
yields? *Simply because‘there is no
easy road to success in corn growing
or in anything else. ' "

To grow a big acre yield of corn,

year in and yearout, a lot of planning
is necessary. Seed must be selected,
cared for and tested. Formerly, it was
considered sufiiCient; to test seed corn
for germination only, but recently it
has been found that much corn .‘root
'rot can be eliminatedby careful field
selection and further, by > using ‘the
modified germination“ test for the de-
tection of diseased ears. “A.high-yie_ld-
ing strain orsvariety‘ of corn must be
developed. or secured from some suc-
cessful corn breeder. A crop rotation
including clover or other legume crop
is another essential to the production
of a good corn crop on most soils. A
well-prepared seed-bed ' and careful cul-
tivation cannot be overlooked.

It is possible, however, to do all this
and still fail to get a big yield per acre
if‘proper provision is not made for
plant food. It matters not'how good
the seed,-‘how carefulthe testing, or
how thorough .the"wmtiqn.may be,
the crop‘wmaiways be “limited by the

supply of available'plant food in the 3

soil. There is no escaping this fact
and no farmer who geally wants to
raise a big crop of corn to the extent
that he is willing to make the neces-
sary effort can afford to overlook it.
The most successful corn growers of
Michigan whose average yields are
double that of the whole state. are, as
a rule, paying Considerable attention
. to the important question of soil fore
’ , tility as well as to the other essential

factors in corn production. The same
principles apply whether the crop is
being grown for the'purpose‘ of win-
ning a prize, or just to produce high-
quality corn at the lowest possible
cost per bushel.

GEN Will Help You
Grow Bigger, Better Crops

NOD- O- GEN is an inoculating culture for legumes. The
friendly bacteria in the NOD- O-GEN culture cause nodules
to grow on the roots of leguminous plants. (Note the nodules
on roots of the plants the farmer is examining.) The bac-
teria in these nodules gather nitrogen from the air and put
it into the soil. This free nitrogen causes faster, heavier
growth and assures bigger, better crops and more profits
for you. (The oval illustration above. shows how much
greater is the growth of plants inoculated with N 00- 0- GEN
than when not inoculated.)
NOD-O-GEN can be used most profitably with Cloven,
Alfalfa, Vetches, Soy and Garden Beans, Cow Pea: and

HCULD I attempt'to sum up in ’a
”single sentence of advice to the

, prospective gardener the essen-
tials of having a good garden next

' summer, I Would say, search the seed

catalogs. I say catalogs advisedly, for
I have never found any one catalog—
not even the most comprehensive-—

‘ ‘t that listed everything that one might

well wish to grow, not even every va—

v' riety that might be called the “best”

for every special purpose. For exam-
ple, should you . wish to grow the
“Black. Turtle Soup” bean, I know of
but one seed-house that offers it. 1719
same is true with regard to the “Qual-
ity” squash, the “Golden Honey" cas-
aba, and the “Offenham Market” pars-
nip, all very superior varieties. though
the last of these, together with the
“Wisconsin Golden” salsify seems to
have been discontinued by all Ameri-
can seedsmen.

Then, too. some varieties that, while
possibly inferior in some respects,
may be particularly desirable for some
special service, the “individual Baby
Delight” watermelon, the mild “Eben-
ezer” onion, and the very early varieJ
ties of corn, beans and squashes from
rthe Assiniboine, Mandan, andliidatsai
Indians of western Canada. and" the
Dakotas are representative ’of" this’
class of varieties. but they are a little-
hard to-find, being offered by but‘f‘e‘w
houses.

It is a fact that home gardeners
would do well to understand that the
most popular, the best advertised, and;
the varieties best suited to the de-
mands of the market grower are not
necessarily the best for thehome gar-
den. A variety .may be prolific, early,
of an attractive outward appearance.
and be a good shipper, and yet be of
inferior flavor, excessrve seedy. fibrous
or otherwise inferior. Others of high
quality may be shy bearers, of small
size, or not adapted to shipping~de-
sirable for the home garden but un-
profitable for market gardeners—or
they may be of a type or color un-
known on the market or against which
a prejudice exists. '

The plain fact of the matter is,
there is a lot of fun and no little profit

' in exploring in seed catalog land, and

the enthusiastic prospector will find
gmany things both old and new, tre‘as-
‘ures of which the less adventurous
and ill-informed planter will remain in
ignorance. It is an adventure, too, in
which you stand but little risk of dis-
appointment, and still less of being,
swindled-. No class of business- meal
are more jealous of their reputations
than are reliable seedsmen, and justi-
fiably so, for the purchaser can tell
but little by looking’ at the seed con-’

; 'THE GRANARY co'NVERTED INTO

, 'AN ELEVATOR.

 

HE average farm granary 'with
Thins eight feet or more in height,

"with a store-away attic, is usually not
, economic. A granary elevated on piers

{four-feet Or more and the bins extend-
ed to the eaves doubles the carrying
contents at small cost. An elevator
shaft with cups is a comparatively
cheap equipment. A four to six-horse
power gasoline engine is used for drivj
ing the belt to elevate the grain. Grain
arriving at’the elevator can be scoop-
ed into the grain dump at a rapid rate.

Reloading grain from the bins by
gravity into the alleyway in bags or
otherwise, leaves only a few hundred
bushels to be scooped out of the bot-
tom. Reloading can also be accom-
plished through the elevator’s opera-
tion and spouted into the grain tank.
The examination of any grain elevator
in your market town will give the
basic ideas of remodeling a granary
into a farm elevator for storage. A
grain tank and the elevator reduce the
bags necessary on the farm to the
minimum. These fixtures are perma-
nent, while bags are in a constant con-
dition of deterioration.

A roof over the end of the granary
elevator used for the dump for unload-
ing, makes a good place for the grain
tank to stand when not in use. A four-
foot alleyway running through the
building at right angles to the dump
gives access to all the four bins. This

. economy of space necessitates an out-
‘ side stairway. All the windows of‘ the

granary are removed except in the
alleyway.

Grain which may be wet and inclin-
ed to heat can be changed to other
bins through the elevator with com-
parative ease and given quite a good
aerationp—J. McBride.

MINERALS F—OR COWS.

 

OWS properly fed require very lit-
tle in the way of minerals. Prac-
tically the only need where clover or
alfalfa hay is being fed in addition to
grains and silage, is some common

‘ salt, possibly a little bone meal or

wood ashes, and, if necessary to pre-
vent goitre, a little potassium or sodi-
um iodide.

I‘AIRPLANE FOR cnop ESTIMAT-
we.

 

NOT long ago it was discovered
4 that the airplane could be used
effectively in spraying operations to
combat the boll weevil on southern
cotton plantations. Now it is found
that the airplane can be utilized in
crop estimating work.

While conducting dusting experi-
ments with airplanes loaned to the
Federal Department of Agriculture by
the war department, in trying to locate
landing places, the thought came to

'the operator to take photographs of

the crops beneath. .

At a heighth of ten thousand feet it
was found possible to identify the var-
ious types of soil. and photographs
were taken with suflicient detail to
enablesthe experts to distinguish the
different crops . and estimate accurate-

 
 

‘1 mm {was r-nat‘cn any; ' .- .; "

the entire cotton belt of approximately
300,000 square miles can be pho-
tographed in 2,000 flying "hours, there-
by securing an estimate of acreage,
and it may be possible to estimate the
crap conditions. The experts are able
to photograph about one hundred forty
square miles an hour at an expense of
‘about $25 per seventy square miles.
The airplanes are now in use.at the
Tallulah Experiment Station in Louis-
iana. The photographs will be used
as a check on crop estimates, and if
the scheme is successful it is probable
that crop reporting by airplane will be
extended to cover the entire country.

MORE FARMING NEEDED.

 

HE committee 'on land utilization

appointed by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace, after an extensive inves-
tigation, has concluded that notwith-
standing the present temporary sur-
plus of farm products due to -lack of
markets in Europe, the general ten-
dency in this country is toward in-
creasing scarcity of land available for
crops and grazing.

On the basis of the probable chang-
es in standards of living and produc-l
tivity during the next three or four'
decades the committee estimates that
we shall have to increase our crop
land by 30,000,000 acres and our pas-
ture, other than woodland, by about
25,000,000 acres. This estimate makes
no account of exports which at pres-
ent require 50,000,000 acres of crop
land. ,

If we should increase production per
acre to the extent characteristic of
western European countries, but en-
deavor to maintain our present stand-
ards of consumption we should scarce-
ly be able to provide for a population
of 150,000,000 because of the large
area of forest required. Moreover such
an increase in production would in-
volve a heavy increas$in cost.

 

E‘AT MORE WHEAT CAMPAIGN.

 

FARMERS, elevator men, millers,

bankers and grocers are all inter—
ested in the big campaign being put
on by leaders in the wheat-growing
states to consume "our surplusage of
wheat. It is estimated that there is
an average production of 170,000,000
bushels over the demands of the coun-
try. Normally, foreigners take this sur-
plus. But European countries are so
impoverished and unsettled that they
cannot pay prices sufficient to cover
the cost of production in America. It
is, therefore, proposed that ‘in each
household at each meal one more slice
of bread, or its equivalent in some
other wheat product, be eaten. This
would wipe out the surplusage. The
campaign is being extended to Michi-
gan as well as to all other states.

Western Canada—
Your Opportunity!

Western'Canada tithe farmer's land of oppor-
tunity. Thousands of settlers who started not
many years ago withilittle or nothing, are today
the owners of fine farms, with comfortable
homes and barns, thoro'bred stock, dairy herds
wall the marks of prosperity. Yet land is not
dear—only $15 to $202an acrclfor rich, virgin, prai-
rie convenient to railways. Land is not dear in
Western Canada—yet—hecnnse there is so much
of it. But many settlers are expected in 1923,
and now is ‘your opportunity. before the best
farms are taken. Get started. Taxes are re-
duced, not raised. on land brought under culti-
vation. On, farm‘l buildings. improvements,
machinery. personal effects, automobile, etc.,
there is no:tax at all. Canada wants workers—
it wants itsiiland (farmed-and the farmers,

control of all local taxation.

OTATO, bean and trim growers of
Michigan are likely tobenefit this
year from the unfavorable weather

es of the farming industry in other
sections of the country, according to
President David Friday, of M. A. C.
In the' south severefrosts have caused
much damage to fruit, but in Michigan
the continued low temperatures have
kept the buds from‘developing. The
early plantings of beans have also
been killed out and the heavy rains
have resulted in the rotting of the
potato crop. ' ‘

President Friday referred to the
present trend of market prices in sup-
port of his contention. Potatoes have
doubled-in price in the last three
weeks and the prices of other com-
modities are higher than at this time
a year ago. Farmers of Michigan are
finding themselvesable to dispose of
their supply of potatoes from last
year, figures showing that they have
shipped nearly one thousand more
cars to other states than up to the
same date in 1922. Altogether, 1923
ought to be the best year for farmers
of Michigan since 1919, said Mr. Fri-
day—H. ~

 

BRAINS NOW NEEDED.

 

I HAVE. been farming a good many

years. Never before has it been
necessary for farmers to use their
{heads more than just now. We need
ito study hard to know what to plant,
lhow to care for the crops and then
lwork our heads fur all they are worth
to know how to market thestufl’ we
grow for a .small part of what the.
crops are really worth, as compared
with the prices for other goods. This
is no time for-“sissy” men to go into
the farming gamesonly real red—blood-
ed men can hope to get agriculture
back upon Ryan—R. Stinger.

 

 

wow. SHOULD BRING 50 CENTS
PER POUND 'ro THE'GROWER.

s

ONE of the largest sales of wool
made recently was 80,000 pounds,
made by the Culps, of Salt Lake City.
at the Emporia and Morris Feed
Yards, just out of Kansas City. The
Culps, father and son, sent 13.000
lambs from Utah for finishing outside
of Kansas City. \Vlien sheared, the
wool was sold to an eastern. mill at
fifty and one-fourth cents per pound.
Wool today is in strong hands.
.There is a world’s shortage of tex-
tiles, both in wool and cotton; and
there is a three-angle contest on. The
mills are willing to pay the present
quotation basis, but not willing to pay
the prices that dealers will exact when
the wool is in their hands. Lastly,
there is the producer of wool, whose
name might be called “Jeff” by way
of illustration, and as our friends the
lawyers might say, “the party of the
third part.” -
At the present time the dealers

 

to finance buyers, setting the limit at
forty-five cents, but with instructions
to pay the “Jeff's” forty-two to forty-
three cents. The mills have threat-
ened to come into the market and buy
direct as a precaution against over-
strain’ed markets -after the dealers

shrinkage, makes fifty-cent wool look
very reasonable. , _’
The wool crop in the. United. States
for 1,922 was 261,0‘95,000'.pounds as
compared to 273,064,000 ‘pounds in-

1921, and a pre-war average of 314; ,

110,000 pounds. Every pound of wool
in the world is needed, and the main-
tenance of a fair price for wool is
economic justice.-~James N. McBride.

 

REGULAR PRODUCTION PROGFlAM.

HERE we farmers make a. mis—

take, in my opinion, is in jiimp-
ing from one line of production to an-
other. ln determining the value of a
crop we should study the returns from
that crop over several years. Occtr
sionally one crop yields a big income.
Then the next season everyone plants
that crop, with the result that it brings
no returns and perhaps heavy lesses.
If We study the returns for several
year-s we can then choose a rotation
of Crops which will yield a fair, reg’u-
lar income; and then, by sticking to
this rotation I believe, we Will stabil-
ize production more and protect our
markets against the wide fluctuations
which have been too frequent of late.
——S. H. Barnum. '

 

URGES FARMERS TO PLANT
TREES.

 

IJUST want to say that I believe

that our farms would bring us
greater satisfaction if we were more
careful to have plenty of trees about.
Aside from the fact that trees can be
used to provide timber and 'fuel, form
windbreaks and render other service,
they prove of real value in giving the
promises an attractiveness which‘is
likely to promote higher standards of
living. In other words, I love my home
more because of the trees which daily
buoy me up to do my best.——R. David.

 

LET CORPORATIONS PAY MORE.

 

WAS pleased to see that our law-

makers at Lansing had the courage
to raise the limit from $10,000 to $50,-
000 in' the cprporation' tax law. It is
my opinion, however, that they did not
go far enough. I cannot see why any
limit should be placed upon this tax.
It a corporation is large and does a.
tremendous business, is that institu-
tion not more able to pay a big tax
than is the smaller business concern?
There likely is some good reason, but
the matter looks to me like favoring
the big fellow—R. Stonehouse.

MICHIGAN’S LEADING GUERNSEY

A PURE-BRED Guernsey from the

herd of J. B. Deutsch, proprietor
of the Bay Cliffs Farm, Big Bay, Mar-
quettebounty, is credited with’ being’
Michigan’s champion, long-distance
Guernsey cow. According toher re-
cently published oilieial record, this?
’cow produced 18,235.? pounds or milk?
and 863.53 pounds of butter-fat in the?
year, whereby she.exceeded her recw
0rd of a year ago by 712.3 pounds of
milk and 58.38 pounds of butter-fat.‘
This record is stated to have estabf
lished the cow’s supremacy. among;
,Guernseys in Michigan.

 

DAIRY PRODUCTS GROW IN

MR, .32» A. JEFFERY has recently:

compiled figures showing the

points in southern Ontonagon and:

nized as a dairy country of great pos-
sibilities. '

These figures show that in the year"
.1922 there was shipped from Topaz.
26.58 tons of cream; from Ewen, twen-

- DAIRY INTERESTS BOOSTED..

THE recent "series of dairy meet-

ings held at Ironwood, Escanaba,
Rudyard and Newberry, was designed
to bring bankers and other business
men in touch with the dairyman’s
problems and to bring to farmers a
keener realization of their relation to
the industrial development of the
community, with the purpose of show-
ing both'farmer and business man the
possibilities of benefit for both if they
earnestly cooperate. -

The attendance of farmers and bus-
iness men at each meeting was eXCeL
lent, while at Escanaba the three
luncheon clubs, the Rotary, Lions and
Kiwanis, each agreed to sponsor a
calf-club in Delta co'tmtyQ A Rudyard
banker made a similar undertaking
for Chippewa county. From Newber—
*ry came. the report of a large pur-
chase of pure-bred dairy' stock from
the herd of the State Hospital there
to be used as the nucleus of a pure
bred dairy herd in Luce county.

 

WILL TRY SUGAR BEETS.“

 

._ IT is announced from Calumet that

the chamber of Commerce has arw
ranged to obtain from the State De—
partment of Agriculture and distrib—
ute among the‘local farmers, sugar
beet seeds for trial‘plantings." The
object is to determine experimentally
whether or not sugar beets can be
successfuly raised in this territory,
what the sugar content of beets
amonntsto, and whether or not beets
grown there can be profitably market-
ed. It has already been determined
by tests that the longer days of the
north country, involving greater quan-
tities of daylight and twilight, in-
crease the sugar content of beets

through the chemical efiects of light

on the growing beets.

spontaneous. and unquestioned. White—

black, strong and good-natured, kept
the other colts at a safe distance; but
eyery

she was grazing or to run alongside of

.her. Sometimes White-black resented

the attention some big fellow offered.
and started a quarrel which resulted
in his defeat. At such times he would
assume the attitude of one who thad
been convinced of being wrong. After
all he was yet too young to be serious
in his love affairs and his affection
for Queen was due m01 e to their hav—
ing been 1ea1 ed togethe1 than to any-
thing else.

Queen loved them all, but she lov-
ed W'hite‘black most and every colt
knew it. Many a quarrel ended in his
victory because 01' her attitude rather
than his strength, but he did not know
that. Next to him Queen favored the
white mare. and next to her, the old
sorrel work-horse. VVhite-black under-
stood her love for his mother; but he.
could not fathom her predilection for
the old horse. For a long time, when
the old sorrel out of pure reminiscent
fondness approached Queen, W hitc-
black would lose his temper, kick at
the old liorSe and attempt to bite him;
but where Queen sometimes allowed
the colts to fight it out between them-
selves, she invariably interfered in any
attempt to wrangle with the sorrel by
taking part in it on his side. In time,
VVhite-black learned to let him alone.

The lull ol' the summer began to
creep into the long days, and mosqui-
toes and nose~llies in vast, numbers
came to blight the sweetness of the
spring wilds. The mosquitoes, annoy-
ing as these bloody little pests were,
were not half so bad as the nose-flies.
The very sight of their long beaks and
yellow backs would drive the colts
frantic Grazing quietly, they would
suddenly begin bobbing their heads 11p
and down and then start away ove1
the plains as it" something fr'ightiul
Were after them.

This murderous pest always started
an attack by buzzing around the nose
like a bee, then landing on the breast
it would'creep up the neck till it
reached the muzzle, where it would
quietly settle down. Puncturing a hole
in the tender nose, it would insert its
beak and drink freely and unshake—
ably, then fly away leaving a hurt that
burned for hours. When they first ap-
peared, the older horses, knowing
them, would keep their noses in the.

 

’

grass as they grazed, or they would,
when through grazing, gather in
gioups and resttheir' chins firmly up-
on each other’s backs, thus giving the
pest no chance to creep up. - In time
the colts learned to protect themselves
in the same way. .

over to eating and drinking and mer-
rymaking.

There came a sultry spell in the
early days of summer. Every chin was
resting upon some triend’s back. Tails
switched ceaselessly and feet stamped
the ground with drowsy rhythm. The
air was still. Not a blade of grass
moved. The silence was broken only
by the nauseous singing of mosquitoes
and the. monotonous droning of n0se-
flies.

Suddenly there came upon the.still,
Warm air the tatoo of distant hoot-
beats. Two horsemen. coming up over

a distant hill to the south, were just,

in the act of separating with the obvi-
ous intention of coming together on
the other side of them. ‘when Queen
discovered them. Instantly the group
broke up, and colts and mares and
horses mixed in a noisy stampede.
“hen the older horses wearied of
the race, they stopped to look back
anxiously at the pursuing riders; .but
Queen, in whom the fear of man; dor-
mant all winter, had now awakened
with great intensity, tore' away tome.

she saw the part of theKherd which
they had captured. .

White-black was standing beside
Queen when he suddenly discovered
the loss of his mother. Neighing loud-
ly and distractedly, he started down
the hill after the men. Queen was
afraid to gowith him, yet she did not
want to let him go alone. She follow-
ed him, calling to him as she went;
but White-black persisted. When they
got within a quarter ot‘ a mile‘of the
men, they saw one of them turn off to
the side and then turn backward.
VVhite-black then realized the danger
of continuing after them. Judging by
horses he hadknown, hmses reared in
barnyards, the man thought it would
be a simple matter to get‘the rest of
them, now that he had captured some
of them; but he was mistaken.

It was anything but a simple mat-
ter. Queen stopped so short that one
of the. colts, following along behind,
hurt himself, running into her. With
a stamp of her strong left, leg, she

turned north and once more led the

race for freedom.

All afternoon they ran. as fast as
their strength would permit. The smell
of. man hung in the air before Queens
nose, poisoning her blood with hate of
him. She had little time to question.
yet her whole soul, confused by fear
and the urgent need to make distance,
sought the why of this two-legged
creature, always breaking in upon
their peace and always hurting them.

At. last they‘began to feel ‘that no
one. was pursuing them and stopped to
investigate. There was not the faint-
est glimpse of anything on hill or hor-
izon and in the air there was no trace
of man. In the evening they fed about

. a slough and at night they slept on the

north side of it with their heads turn-
ed toward the south.

E ARLY next morning White-black

was seized by an intense longing
for his mother and braving the terrors
of captivity, he started again in search
of her. They were trotting and walk-
ing along leisurely, searching the
spaces constantly when they came up
on a hill from where they spied a num~
her of horses galloping towaid them.
They got fiightened and turned back
notth but soon stopped again to ascer-
tain who it was that. was coming, and
so these horses gained upon them.

They proved to be three of the colts
and a big mare who 'had somehow
broken
men. They were so excited that they
would not stop to sniff noses. While
they passed through the group they
trotted. but as soon as they were. on
the other side they broke away in a
gallop. Queen and White~black and
all the rest caught the "contagion of
their fear, abandoned their seal-Ch for
those who we1e lost to them and ran
with the feeling that dangei of cap-
tivity had become
more. And 1‘01 almost a week they
continued their desultory flight.

When the fear of the little men
creatures had lost some 'of its inten-
sity, Whiteblack and” Queenf'made
several attempts to find the white

mare. Herform seemed to flash across

Often they called loud and long trying

But this, too, was the inevitable, and
railing -and' fretting was no solution.
In time the hunger for his mother}
shrank back? into the depths of White-
black’s limited soul and the full ardor
of his love fell to the lot” of Queen.
And Queen felt in the touch and the
presence of White black & compensa—

' What" and enervating. Mosquitoes

» ‘ and n'oseflies in countless numbers be-‘

' came more and more annoying as the
sultry period prevailed. It made graz-
ing during most. of the daytime very
' disagreeable. .
days they stood dozing-in Small bunch-
es, their chins resting upon each oth—
er’s backs, their tails switching me-
chanically. When‘a momentary gust
of wind came along, they would run
down to the sloughs t'or water. There
they would drink till the stinging of
the pests, who were always in_ greater
numbers above. the tall, wet, slough
grass, would make the place unendur-
able, then they would gallop away to

‘ the hill tops fortrelict'.

Beautifully tolerant of all things, al—
ways moved by the spirit of “live and
let live,” Queen could not understand
men andinsects. She could easily see
Why one horse .might kick at another
when the other came along and greed-
ily seized upon his find of grass; but
the desire to attack without reason or
excuse, as it seemed to be in the char-
acter of men and insects, was unfathi
omable and wholly foreign to her na-
ture. W’henever men appeared there
was fear and confusion and anguish.
So. too, as soon as insects arrived,
there was pain and discomfort.

Had she been a meat eater, she
would have perceived some connection
between the joy of eating and the
tragedy of beingeaten: but Queen be.
longed to the sweetest-tempered raCe
on earth, whose sustenance required
neither pain nor blood, and so she
could not understand, and being un—
able to understand, she feared.

There followed a period of wind—
storms which carried the pests away.
For a long time the herd enjoyed once
more the freedom of the wilds: but
another hot spell came and one day as
they were eagerly seeking the higher
places. they ran into a cloud of a new
kind of insect, which was worse than
anything they had ever experienced.

‘ This new pest settled upon them in

such numbers that they changed the
appearance of their heads and when
in fear they tried to shake them off,
the insects crept into their ears and
hoses, stinging viciously.

I T was now the last part of the sum-

mer, the time. of the year when
young ants, having acquired their
wings, began swarming; and this was
one of' the summers when these ants
were more‘annoying than they usually
are. Queen did not rememberever
having come upon this pest before,

~ \and felt that it was peculiar to the.

particular neighborhood in which they
happened to be. at the time. Accord-
ingly, when first attacked by an unus-
ually large swarm, she turned to the
south, and the herd loped at her heels.
By, running, they rid themselves of the
young ants and so continued running,
till the cool of the evening cleared the
air 01’ all insects. '

Next day, however, they ran into
another swarm and again took to
flight. _Thus they were driven back
again intothe vicinity of the bowl—like
valley. .There because things seémed
familiar they remained.

A season of constant raining follow:
ed. The cold, the excessive wetness.
and the strong winds drove all pests
from the plains. The rainy season

of the spring lake, The exhilarating
days of autumn were at hand, root,
clear and sunny. The peaceful nights
scintillated with the colors of the au-
rora borealis and the ' unhindered
brightness of thegstars.‘ Life, became
again a protracted festival.

They were startled one afternoon by
the sudden appearance of four strange
horses who came plodding along in

single file from the south. Queen dis- ’

covered them first as they were com~
ing'down the slope of a hill. Like the
rest of the herd she stopped grazing
and stared at them curiously. Because
she saw no men on them or near them
and because they came so wearily, so
unenergetically, she was not afraid of
them, though she regarded them with
suspicion. \

"When they came within a few hun-
dred feet, the herd moved off to the.
side, from where they studied them
curiously to learn their intentions. But
the strangers did not even look to-
ward them. Doggedly bobbing their
weary heads. they made straight. for
the lake. The leader was a big, red
horse with an ugly pugnacious face,
the nose bone of which curved, very
peculiarly, outward. His hip bones
protruded out of. deep hollows in his
back and his sides, fallen in, revealed
distinctly every hair covered rib. Be-
hind him lumbered a white mare so
bent upon limping fast enough to keep
up with him that she did not take her
eyes off him. The third was a miser-
able-looking bay p0ny and-the last was
an old jade, black as a crow. All were
thin and bedraggled and two of them
had sores on their necks and breast-s.
The white mare. seemed to have suf-
fered most, for one. of her hind legs
was swollen to twice its normal size,
and she limped very painfully.

' HEN the queer-looking proces-

sion caught sight of the lake”

they broke the line and ran down to
the water, where they drank as if they
had been withoutlrwater for many
days. While they were drinking the
herd surrounded them, intending
peacefully to sniff noses with them

and to find out. who and what manner:
of horses they were: but the ugly
leader met the first approach with a,

discovered that though the otheré
three horses were not as mean, the::.i
too, were ill-tempered and disagree-i

ing resulted in a noisy quarrel and a5
stampede. \Vhen they settled down'
to grazing, the herd was off by itself"
and the‘four‘ strangers were in a cor:;
ner of the valley not any too near
each other.

Queen did not like these strangers
at all. She felt that they were re-
sponsible for the. unpleasant feeling
that now seemed to hang in the very
atmosphere. She did not know then
that slavery and cruelty such as these
poor creatures had endured would

few months, which contains ad-
, ventures of a. very unusual kind,
“Horny Hands and Hampered Elbows.”.
The author, Whiting Williams, is a

”student of labor conditions, and does

his studying in a. most unique way. He
goes to work in mines, orJln mills and
learns just how the laboring man feels
about things. In this book he tells
his experiences as a worker in the
French mines in the Saar Valley; his
experiences vas he went ameng the
workmen in the German Pittsburgh,
Essen, where the huge Krupp cannon
used to be made. As a, French miner
he slept with a
Frenchman, and
b o a r d e d at a
boarding h o u s e
which looked out
on the barnyard,
and where the
food was flavored
with the odors of
the stable. The
baby sat on the floor and ate out of
,the same .dish as the cat.

 

Then I read the review of another
book, not the book itself, where the
writer tells of’ the ill-fated Scott expe-
dition to the South Pole. Three of the
party went farther than the rest, look-
ing for a. vast penguinery, where the
emperor penguin hatches his young
each year. The description of this
journey is almost unbelievable. The

penguins, so deSperately did they have
to battle for life with the heartless
wind and temperature. For days the
mercury was at fifty degrees below
zero. The food ran low, and finally
their tent was, blown away. The wind
raged night and day, at blizzard speed.
The explorers’ clothes from the waist
up were frozen solid. Thinking only
of the cup of hot drink which they pre-
pared every few hours the desperate
men staggered on, and at last reached
camp. For all their trouble they
brought three penguin eggs! But the
glory of such a tale is not the zoologi-
cal specimens that were found, but the
spirit of the adventurers. It is enough
to make us all want to undertake big
tasks.

UT the question that interests us

is, does religion make one ad-
venturous? The motive of the first
man referred to above is, scientific in-
vestigation of labor conditions. The
motive of the second group was, to
learn a particular thing about natural
science. It is the scientific motive in
both instances. Does religion have
driving power equivalent to that? The
biography of Moses, which is the topic
for today, is one answer. And thean-
swer is in the affirmative. Religion
does provide a mighty driving power;
a. power greater, in fact, than that of
any other force.

There is a. difference between the
adventures of the scientist and those
for instance, of the missionary. The
scientist goes to a foreign land for
a few months. Or he prepares an ex-
pedition which is to last for four or
five years. 'But the missionary dedi-
cates his life. to work in arstrange
land. Some years ago a man whom I
knew returned from Arabia, where he

NOTHER toFeign missionary was
visited one day bye. father bring-
ing his iodiotic son. The child was
afflicted with water on the brain, and
in order to effect dreinage'for this, it

‘was necessary to graft a piece of vein

into the neck. But no vein was to be
had. Would'the father suffer his arm
to be opened and a section of vein re-
moved? I-Ie emphatically would not.
He said, “Let him die first.” So the
missionary injected a local anaesthet-
ic into his own left arm, took out a
length of vein, and grafted it into the,
neck of the child. Theachild died, but
the medical man's fame had spread
abroad. One day there was’_ a. gather-
ing of the chief men. One of them ask-
ed the missionary if it was true that
he had given a. piece of his own arm
to save‘the child. The missionary said
it was true. “Let’s see the scar,” they
shouted. He pulled up his sleeve and
showed a red scar five inches long.
The head man leaped to his feet and
cried, “I wouldn’t do that for anybody,
if you would pile this room with silver
to the ceiling.” And the father of the
dead boy echoed, “Neither would I!”
So muchifor the difference between
the motive of the adventure in the
scientist and in the missionary. Both
are high and noble, but the one often
endures long after the other has
ceased. .

HE life of Moses was of the long-

contlnuing type. It required years
and years. He never got through. He
died on the way,‘ his task unfinished.
He never was able to take a vacation
and go to the seashore, and apparently
he never played golf. A man said once
that to shake hands with Lord Strath-
cona was like shaking hands with the
British Empire. The man. who had
been the maker of modern Canada.
was so big that he seemed like the
great Dominion itself. It must have
been something like that with Moses.
He was a big man, any way you meas-
ure him. No small man, no lady's man
who wears a number five shoe could
have done what he did. His very pres-
ence must have been impressive. Sam-
uel Johnson said that you could not
stand in a doorway during a shower
beside Edmund Burke without being
struck with the fact that you were in
the presence of a great man. Moses.
did not, to be sure, always have things
his own way. He had a. continuous
succession of trouble. But all the time
the vast enterprise of his life was
slowly nearing consummation. There
were plenty of critics to pester him
and keep him humble. No doubt the
wiseacres sat around the camp fire at
night and told how they would march
right through to Canaan without a
stop, if they were leading, just as they
tell the President of the United States
now how to conduct the government.
And there were the vegetarians, who
complained of the fare, and said they

preferred a diet of onions to a daily " -

ration of qualls and manna. It is said
thatl there was a man once who pre-
ferred stewed prunes to strawberries
and cream. There are always queer
folk to bark at any enterprise

Go TO BED.

/

0 you know how to go to bed?

In" illness it is very important
. . that this be done properly-.- When
the body fights disease it does its best
work lying dOWn, free from all strain.
. That is'why the first instructions of
the doctor usually command you to go
to bed.

Going to bed does not mean sitting
around the kitchen; it does not mean
lying‘down on a lounge in’your cloth-
ing: it does not even mean slipping
out of your shoes and lying on your
bed under a quilt. ‘It means removing
all ordinary garments and actually go-
ing to bed in such’va way that you can
get all" the comfort that a bed. is capa-
ble of giving. It also means staying
in bed and having someone wait 011
you.

The idea that you are one of those.
persons who “simply will not give up”
is all wrong when you really are ill.
In illness the more completely you
give up to getting well the better off
you are. The more completely you
play the game the sooner you will get
back to health. One day thoroughly
relaxed in bed is worth three of just
“lying around."

Making a bed so that it will be just
right for a sick person is an art. Every
woman who has a chance should get
the instruction in bed-making that is
given in the Red Cross Course, Home
Hygiene and Care of the Sick. To the
robust person in perfect health the
amateur. bed-maker may be quite sat-
isfactory, but to the helpless one who
is scarcely able to shift his body,
wrinkled sheets and disordered blank-
ets are matters of tremendous import-
ance. They may mean all the differ—
ence between rest and torture.

When a person is helpless in bed
watch for bed sores. They come from
pressure, and are especially likely in
patients who are so helpless that they
cannot so much as move in bed with-
out help. Favorite sites are those
places where the boues are prominent,
such as the end of the spine, the heels
the elbows and the shoulder blades
Any place showing up red, having a
discoloration like a bruise. or where
the patient complains of feeling sting.
ing or burning, should be called to the
special attention of the doctor'at his
very next visit; and without waiting
for-that visit steps should be taken to
relieve the pressure. -

Bed sores are more common in casc
es in which strict cleanliness is not
maintained; but in weak. emaciated
patients, they will come sometimes in
spite of the best of care. When they
do appear it is a long. hard job to get
the. better of them. One of the reasons
for going to\ bed early and doing ex-
actly as. directed is to avoid such. dis-
tressing complications-

 

PERN'lCIOUS ANEMIA;

Do you recommend transfusion of
blood in pernicious anemia?——R. T

I should be inclined to try it as one
of the things that might help to pro-
lung life and make the patient more
comfortable. My experience with cas-
es of pernicious anemia has not been
such as to make me very hopeful of

A child cutting his first teeth may
be given sweiback and dry crusts to
chew on. This seems, to serve some
aood.purpose. The danger of applying
drugs counterbalances any good they
may do. Large quantities of chewing

BONE TUBERCULOSIS NOT CON-
TAGIOUS.

\

A relative has bone tuberculosis.
Could one take ordinary tuberculosis
from that?——K. L.

Tuberculosis of the bone is no so
contagious as that of the lungs, be-
cause it is not spread around every—
where by sputum as the. other is. In
other ways it is fully as virulent. One
who did not take proper care might
contract tuberculosis that would de-
velop into “ordinary tuberculosis,” if
you mean by that tuberculosis of the
lungs.

 

KIDNEY TROUBLE.

I read your article in the Michigan
Farmer about kidney trouble. I have
to get up several times in the night.
I had severe rheumatic pains last fall
and still have some in joints, but have
been dieting and drinking hot water.
“11211: else can I do?———J. T. S

I am just guessing that this inquirer
is of the masculine gender. I don't
believe that a woman reader would
have expected to get any information
of value without as much as stating
age or sex. If he is a man, my guess
(it can be little more than a guess on
such slight information) is that he
has an abscess of the prostate gland
and‘that this is the cause of his uri-
nary disturbances and also of his
“rheumatism " These aching joints me
so often due to some focus of pus in
the body, that the first thing to do in
such cases is always to clear up eve1y
point of suspicion.

SUFFERS FROM STRAIN.

I am a farm. boy of twenty, six feet
tall, weigh 160 pounds. When helping
get in hay at twelve years old, I felt
a pain in my right side and it seemed
that something gave way. It has trou-
bled me more or less ever since and
lately there is constant pain and
numbness.——-G. P.

I suspect that the strain at twelve
years old produced. an incomplete rup—
ture and that its tendency is to break
through. Better have it looked after
at once, for if it is a rupture it may
produce very serious results at some
critical ,time, and it‘ it is not you
should at least find out what the trou—
ble is.

P1472 Me Arrangement to Save Step: and Laéor

HE first step in the establishing

of the true home is to overcome

drudgery in housework. A worn-
out drudge cannot be a helpful wife
and mother. The family’s sunshine
and gladness are plundered and the
home is robbed of its romance and
beauty if mother is required to spend
all her time executing the‘duties of
cooking, cleaning and mending.

The kitchen is really the housewife’s
work-shop, and she spends many busy
hours in it. If the conveniences and
arrangement of this room are not well
planned, inspiration in her work is
quite completely crowded out and sup—
planted by perspiration. Of course, no
amount of science in the arrangement
and conveniences in the kitchen can
entirely keep the
perspiration from
the brow of the
busy housewife
on a hot July day
when dinner is a.
little late and
four hungry men
will soon be in
from the hay
field; but, by var-
ious methods of
arrangement and the addition of a few
leading conveniences, the drudgery of
cleaning and working in the kitchen
can be made a pleasure.

 

Only the other day my attention
was called to a kitchen arrangement
that had been so carefully planned and
the location of each article so thor-
oughly studied that the worker could
make an apple pie in eight steps. This
kitchen was much smaller than the
average farm kitchen. It may not be
possible for all of us to rearrange and
add to the conveniences of our kitchens
so that we can make our apple pics in
eight steps. But there are many ways
by which numerous steps may be sav-
ed, and the labor in the kitchen great-
ly lessened by these conveniences. ‘

Of course, no two kitchens are ex-
actly alike and each housekeeper must
solve her individual problems, but it
should be arranged so that it is con-
venient according
E0 the work done
1n it. The ar-
rangement of a
kitchen which is
used {for both
dining-room and
kitchen is quite '
different from one
used merely for a
ki t c h e n . The
working units
should follow in
the order of ar-
rangement to the work to be done.
The range or oil stove, together with
the woodbox, should be as near as
possible-to the work table where the
food is prepared. Let the woodbox be
at the left of the stove, while’ the work-
ing table is at the right. To save
steps when serving, the dish cupboard,

 

serving table and dining— -table should I

be grouped together.
The sink is an all- important fixture

,for the kitchen and should be loCated

near to the work table. The results

“MW“ running water, with a, white_famount_ of eggs 1:; an hour and ‘a

Enameled sinks are a great advan-
tage, for they are so easily cleaned
and will not rust. ”Enameled drain-
boards placed at the left of‘the sink
meet these same requirements, but
it is sometimes advisable to use small
rubber mats on them to prevent the
breaking of dishes. In the event that
enameled drain boards are a. greater

expense than one wishes to incur, the

wooden drain boards of cyprus can be
made non-absorbent by treating them
with boiled linseed oil. They are eas—
ily cleaned and dishes do not slip on
them.

If the sink is placed too low, much
energy is wasted when one is doing
work at it. The bottom of- the sink
should be one to one and onedhalf
inches lower than the working-table.
Test the height you need by standing
erect and placing your hands, doubled
up, with the knuckles flat on the bot-
tom of the sink. If you can do this
without bending your back, the sink
will be the right height for you to
work at. The dish cupboard should
be conveniently reached from the
drain board.

The work table may be a substantial
home-made table with sufficient stor-
age space in cupboards and shelves
above and below, or the more modern
kitchen-cabinet. To be entirely prac-
tical, each have several requirements
to fulfill. But the principal one is that
they are easy to clean. The table top
should be non-absorbent and may be
of zinc, enamel or porcelain. The ta.-
ble top that pulls out eight or nine
inches and allows the worker to sit on
a high stool while busy at the table
saves many a backache. The height
of the working surface of the cabinet
or table is as important a factor as the
height of the sink. If other than just

the right height, the housewife works

to'a disadvantage. You may test the
height best suited to your individual
need by placing your hands with your

palms flat on the surface of the table.

If you can do this without bending.

your back; you can .do your work with
the least amount of strain.

The kitchen range is an all-import-
ant item in the kitchen.
one that no only bakes well and is
suited to the size of the family, but it
must be of such design that it is eas-
ily 'cleaned. It should be located so
that there is plenty of light shining
directly upon the front of the stove. If
the home is not supplied with electric
lights, it is well to have a small shelf
large enough to lmld a light placed in
such a position near the stove as to
give sufficient light in preparing a late
supper, or an early breakfast, or doing
some of the various late duties of the
kitchen.

A small table on casters, or a wheel
tray, is a much needed furnishing in
every kitchen. A porcelain or enamel-
ed finished top allows it to be used for
either hot or cold dishes. It should
be light and easily pushed. Remove
the threshold between the dining-room
and kitchen, to avoid any unsteady
motion when the cart is passing be
tween the two rooms.

A stool in a kitchen is as necessary
as a chair in the dining-room. If you
are only going to have one, let it be
the one that will easily slide around.
If possible, have two stools, one at the
cabinet and one at the sink. One stool
might well be of the step-ladder type.
It will save many steps when you
want to reach anything on the top
shelf. 'A soft rug placed befOre the
work table when the housekeeper can-
not sit on the, stool will make the feet

- less Weary.

As each housewife studies the indi-
vidual problems of her kitchen ar-
rangement and conveniences, she will
find many ways by which she can save
on the numerous steps she takes each
day.

When Eggs are Plentiful'

HERE are no more wholesome

dishes for the spring and, early

summer than those that are
largely made up of eggs. And these
dishes have an added virtue in the
fact that eggs are low in price, and
very plentiful at this time.
pes given below are all a bit unusual
and are all excellent.

Scalloped Eggs.

Boil eight eggs for an hour and a
half, and plunge at once into cold wa-
ter. When cool, peel and slice into a
casserole: Over these put a layer of
about half an inch thick .of grated
cheese. Pour half a cup of rich milk
over the whole and bake- for twenty
minutes, when it should be well brown-
ed. It should be served very hot and
is an excellent supper 0r luncheon
dish. - . 1

Boil the desired 'y

paste, then in beaten egg and finally
in corn meal. Fry in very hot fat.
Serve in a dish lineed with crisp let-
tuce leaves. Garnish with parsley and
serve hot.

Eggs with Macaroni.

Boil two cups of macaroni in slightly
salted water until tender; do not make
the mistake of using too small a quan-
tity of water or the macaroni will be
tough and sticky. Drain and put in
layers, in, a, casserole. Between the
layers put finely. chOpped hard-boiled
eggs. When the casserole is filled with
alternate layers of eggs and macaroni.
pour a cup of very rich milk over the
macaroni, and bake in a quick oven
for a few minutes. ,

I think we farmers' wives take pride"

in supplying our tables as much as
possible from the things raised on the
farm, as we find these the cheapest,
most wholesome and nutritious.

Even in thespring when we have
grown tired of the canned goods and
are looking for something fresh, we
will find it first on the farm, in the

'young tender stalks of horseradish,

and if Old Sol shines bright enough"
we soon have rhubarb and new aspar-
agus to replenish our bill of fare.
It is a good time also, to sam-

KINDS OF FLOUR.‘

 

Can you tell me what is meant by
whole wheat flour and graham flour?
What- are good proportions for a
bread recipe?—Mrs. G. S.

The term whole wheat flour has
formerly been somewhat of a mis-
nomer, as part of the outside goat of
the grain has been removedin the
milling process. This removed some
of the mineral, bran and fat. .Graham
flour is the whole grain crushed. ‘

. There are now on the market whole
wheat flours which are saidto be the
whole grain with nothing removed
and nothing added. Whole wheat
bread is made the same as white
bread. If all whole wheat flour is
used, the volume of loaf will be some-
what smaller than that made from all
white flour... but a mixture of half
whole wheat and half white flour
makes its good a loaf as all 'white

'bflour. Three-fourths whole wheat and

‘ RODUCERS of manufactured milk
products ‘are r’going, to 'market
their goods cooperatively "on a na-

tional basis. This was assured when
plans for a'national dairy sales agency
to sell butter, cheese and condensed

. milk were approved by representatives

of: cooperative dairy marketing associ-

._ations of five states at the Sherman

House, Chicago, on April 9..-

The meeting was called by the coni—
mittee of nine, which .was appointed
by the dairy marketing committee of
eleven at the close of its final meeting
December 6,‘after that committee had
been unable to decide on a definite
method for the cooperative marketing
of milk and milk products. A plan
was agreed upon by the committee of
nine at a meeting in St. Paul, March
3, and copies of it were sent at that
time to each cooperative association
likely to become a member, together
with invitations to send delegates to
meet with the committee at Chicago
for the purpose of approving or reject-
ing the plan submitted.

J. T. Williams, chairman of the com-
mittee of nine and president of the
Milk Producers’ Cooperative Market-
ing Company of Chicago, called the
meeting to order and presided. E. B.
Heaton, in charge of the dairy market-
ing department of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, served as secre-
tary. Other members of the commit—
tee are H. B. Nickerson, of Minne-
sotaf F. G. Swoboda, of Wisconsin; \V.
A. Wentworth, of Iowa; W. H. Schill-
ing, of Minnesota; C. R. George, of
Indiana; C. B. Becthelheimer, of Iowa,
and JOhn D. Miller, of Pennsylvania.

The plan, on which the committee of
nine, together with Aaron. Sapiro, its
legal counsel, have been hard at work
for four months, was unanimously ac-
cepted by the delegates and the com-
mittee was authorized to go ahead as
an organization committee to put the
plan into operation. E. D. Waid‘, of
Ohio, was elected to fill the place of
W. A. Wentworth, who had resigned;
J. H Frandsen, dairy editor of the
Capper Farm Press; Walton» Peteet.
director 0: the marketing department
of the American Farm Bureau Feder-
ation, and Samuel R. Guard, director of
publicity of the farm bureau. also were
added.

The plan as approved provides for
the creation of a national sales agency
to market directly for its members all
dairy products other than fluid milk.
This agency is to be incorporated as a
cooperative marketing association,
with general offices at Chicago. The
movement of all products to market or
storage will be governed by this cen-

’tral agency" which shall have the au-
thority. of flnal» sales, but pools will be

established only on a state basis. The,
agency is to be organized ,for" non- .

profit and the only deductions will be
those to pay the expenses of the cen-

tral agency, a deductionof-rone per

cent for reserve, and one or ’two per
cent for advertising, total deductions
to be within five per cent.

The products handled by the central
agency will be sold under a national
‘brand, but the state and point of or-
igin must appear on each container in
additiori to the national brand so that
the identity of the community which
produced the product will not he lost.
Dairy products will be standardized
and efforts made to stimulate states
where low-grade butter or cheese is
produced, to strive to improve their
quality. '

Members of the central agency will
be any lawfully organized cooperative
association that manufactures or sells
dairy products incompetitive markets.
In other werds, every dairyman in the
United States who 'markets his prod-
ucts through a cooperative channel
may be a member, if his organization
becomes a member of the sales agen-
cy. Where a. federation of local associ-
ations exists in any state, the. state
federation will be admitted as a mem-
ber, carrying with it each of its local
associations. Where one or more fed-
erations exists in any one state, each
may become a member. Independent
local associations which are not mem-.
bers of the state federation may join
the central agency upon approval of
the state federation or of the board
of directors of the central agency. In
cases where the state federation is not
representative of the state, its approv-
al will not be necessary. The ideal
arrangement, and the one which will
be the ultimate goal, would be to have
all local associations members of the
state federations, with these working
in close connection with the central
agency. ‘ '

Each member association will be re-
quired to subscribe for common cap-
ital stock at the rate of $1.00 per
patron. This subscription is to be
paid on the basis of one-tenth down in
cash, the balance to be deducted at
the rate of one-tenth each month from
the proceeds of' products sold through
the central agency or by direct pay-
ment, beginning with the functioning
of the central agency.

The executive control is too be in
the board of directors comprised of
thirty-five members to be elected from
districts created after organization
work is completed, and an executive

The central sales agency is to be in-
corporated and campaigns mapped out
for _the securing of legal contracts

This plan for~ another 'farmers’ a-

uniting of local cooperative creameries
and centralized creameries, the cooper-

powdered milk. . .

These values organizations, which

FARM DAIRYING.

OMETIMES farmers who keep cows
as a source of income rather than

to gratify a hobby, are inclined to dis—
count _records made by pure-breds,
claiming that big daily yields of milk
are made by milking three or four
times a day, or by resorting to other
methods which are artificial or unnat-
ural. No doubt the claim that thej
yield is the result of extra labor and1
not due to the natural producing abil—
ity of the cow, is true in some cases.
but not in all herds, for example, that
of W. J. Gamble, of Care. '
~In this herd seven pure-bred Hol-
stein cows, l'reshening since Christ-
mas, and milked but twice a day, show-
ed on the barn sheets so far in April,
an average production of 60.44 pounds
each per day. Of course, part of such
good production is 'due to the good

 

Thomas Kimmell, but the main credit
must be given to the cows themselves,
who, standing in stanchions, without
any babying, can roll out practically
thirty quarts of milk each per day.

And some faimers say that once in
a while a cow without any forcing can
give a. big flow f01 a short time but
she would have to be pampe1ed to
stick to it throughout the year Such
farmers may well ponder over the 1e0-
ord made by a pure—bred Holstein in a
cow-testing association in Livingston
county where she was given ordinary
care. by an ordinary farmer. fed ordi-
nary feeds and milked but twice a. day
throughout the. year. She yielded'
17,246 pounds ofinil‘k, and fat enough!
for 80] pounds of butter; and incident—
ally showed a profit over her feed
costs of $187.

There is certainly something in pure
blood and breeding when cows can
show every-day production such as
these cows did.

Remarkable Experience of Mrs.
'C.M, Bradshaw in Prevent- ‘
' ing White Diarrhea

 

The following letter will no doubt
be of utmost interest to poultry raisers
who have had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. _ We will. let Mrs.
Bradshaw tell of her experience in her
own words:

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so
many losing their little chicks With
White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. I used to losea
great many from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about dis-
couraged. As a last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 507,
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White
Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c
packages, raised 300 White Wyando‘ttes
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 mail. ——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 newly hatched
egg. Readers are warned to beware
of White Diarrhea. Don’ t wait until
it kills half your chicks.
“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., writes: “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
'n single chick from White Diarrhea.
Walko not only prevents White Diar-
rhea but it gives the chicks strength
Ind vigor; they develop quicker and
feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be-
gan to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. I tried different 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 never
lost a single chick after the first dose.”

You Run No Risk

We will send Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy entirely at our risk

quadruple your profits. Send 50c for
package of Walko— give it in all 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

Suggestions on- Breeding
‘ ByE. C. Foreman,

Prafinar Poultry Hurdandrv, M. A. C.

BOROUGH preparations for the

reception of the chicks should

be made several days in ad-
vance of their arrival. '

The colony house or building used
should be tightly constructed and eas-
ily ventilated. Adjustable openings in
both the front and rear of the'colony
house, directly below the roof, should
be provided, especially for summer
ventilation. This permits good air cir-
culation and releases the warm air
which tends to accumulate near the
roof. The growing chicks have all the
open air benefits obtained while roost-
ing in trees, with the additional advan-
tage of shelter during the'inclement
weather.

The floor of the colony house should
be dry, warm and free from draughts.
A covering to a depth of two inches of
white sand provides ideal conditions
and in addition supplies grit material.

The brooder stove should be operat-
ed two or three days previous to the
arrival of the chicks. The automatic
heat regulator should commence to
check the dampers when the thermom»
eters register eighty degrees F. direct-
ly below the outer edge of the canopy
or deflector. This will provide sulfi-
cient heat andqallow the chicks to se-
lect the temperature required for their
comfort. The thermometer can be dis-
carded once the brooder has been reg-
ulated and heat increased or decreased
according to the demand of the chicks
as indicatéd by huddling or withdraw-
ing from the heat.

A wire cloth screen should be placed
around the brooder at a distance of
fifteen inches from the outer margin
of the heat deflector. This confines
the chicks, preventing them from
straying too far from the source of
heat before they are educated to re-
turn when uncomfortable. The Screen
may be removed after the third day,
or gradually widened out, giving more
floor space

Avoid overcrowding—this applies
both to broader and house capacity.
Many chicks are killed or ruined when
the capacity of either is over-rated. A
colony house'ten by ten feet will ac-
oommodate 300 to 500 chicks quite
satisfactorily. Larger units may pro-
duce excellent results but require more
experience in this special phase of
work.

Chicks have a tendency to withdraw
from the brooder as they get older and
frequently crowd towards certain cor-
ners. Huddling may result, due to a
sudden drop of temperature, should
the fire get low. If this occurs a high
mortality usually results and a weak-
ened condition is apparent in those
that do survive. Keep the corners of
the house screened off.

The chicks should be coaxed outside

. green food

“during the first and second‘ week. Leg

weakness can usually be avoided if
the chicks cultivate the habit of run-
ning outside almost continuously. They
appear thriftier and do not develop the.
hothou'se appearance of closely confin-
ed chicks. , _

Low flat roosts should be placed in
the colony house after the second
week, thereby educatingthe chicks to
roost early. Once the chicks have tak-
en to roosting the danger point is past.

Reduce the temperature as the
chicks get older,’but don't be too hasty
in taking away the heat, because sud-
den showers may occur, in which case
a little heat will provide greater com-
fort and may save the lives of many
chicks should they get chilled.

Segregate the broilers and cull pul-
lets and draw the colony house to a
well-shaded range, where plenty of
is available.
gains can then be made by hopper
feeding and labor is reduced to a min-
im-um.

GOOD PRODUCING PULLETS.

 

WAS interested in the record Mr.

Parlberry’s twelve pullets and
twelve hens made by laying 447 eggs
in one month. I think thisa good rec-
ord, but would like to tell about a pro-
duction of my pullets.

I have forty-eight Butt Leghorn pul-
lets which were hatched May 10. In

' January they laid 776 eggs, or an aver-

age of twenty-five per day. We used
no artificial light to increase produc;
tion, but find that much of our success
has been in our feeding methods.

In the morning we feed very few
oats and sweet corn scattered in the
litter. About twicea week we Use a
little buckwheat and sunflower seed
instead. For the evening feed we give
them all the whole corn they will eat;
and in the feed hoppers We have be-

fore them a. dry mash made as fol-.

lows: Two parts bran, two parts oats,
one part corn, one part shorts and one
part oil meal. Besides, they have warm
water, oyster shell and plenty of grav-
el before them at all times. —Mrs. A.
O. Guernsey.

_ PAINT POULTRY Houses.

 

I HAVE found that it pays to paint

poultry houses to correspond with
the other farm buildings. Recently we
painted six brooder heuses and a lay-
ing-house with barn red and trimmed
the corners, doors and windows in
white. The paint gives the poultry
houses a more cheerful appearance
and undoubtedly increases the real es-
tate value of the farm. ,

I have five poultry. houses covered
with black roofing paper, and while

'.It
seems as if general apmarances are
as important on the poultry farm as in
any business. I should never build
any more all- black poultry houses.

In starting a poultry plant it pays to
adopt a color pattern for the buildings
right'from the start and then hold to
those colors when painting new‘ build-
ings or repainting the old. ones. Be-
cause of the large number of small

 

buildings required to raise poultry, itg
is very essential that they be as meat

as possible to avoid a junky appear-
ance on the farm.

011 exposed sites where roofing pa-
per on the side walls is necessary to

'keep out the wind, I think it pays to;

nail down the paper and cover the
seams with a narrow ship of wood.
The wooden strips can then be paint-
ed some bright color and it gives the
house a more pleasing appearance and
helps to prevent the roofing paper
becoming loose.

With the Spring Pests

Some Przze— W zmzmg Cantrzfiutzom to Our Poetry. Contest

SPRING.
Winter’s gone and spring is here,
Birds have come with songs of cheer,
Flowers blooming in the wood,
My, 0, My! but it seems good.

Buds are swelling on the trees,

Music 'floating on the breeze,

The sleds and skates are put away
For now we’ve found some other play.

Soon it willbe time to sow,
Garden seeds along the row,
And the i‘a1me1s hustle round,

' Plow and drag and plant their ground.

Then my Ma, she sets some hens,~
And we’ll soon ‘be making pens
For the fuzzy little chicks

W'e’re expecting pretty quick.

 

 

 

Claude Lankcrd, Hastings, and “Don.”

How we’d like to run and play
All the time and every day,
But we cannot, as a rule,
For we have to go to school.
‘-—— Dorothy Curtis, Edmore, Mich.
Dorothy was third- prize winner. By
mistake her name was left out of the
prize list last week.

TO THE VIOLET.
“Come little violet, ” said the sunshine

bright.

“Come, do come,” added the raindrops
light.

“Come," said the children, “do not
fear.

Come, little Violet, spring, is here.”

The violet heard and did as they bade.

“If I don’t come now, ” it thou',ght
“they’ll be sad.

So I’ ll brighten the lives of everyone. "

And it opened its eyes to the glorious
sun.

“Come,” said a child wandering near.
“Come with me to mother dear. l
She’ll put you in a pretty bowl

Not cracked or dirty, but all whole.

‘fYou’ll rest upon a table brown,

With sides which fold so they’ll come
down.

So little violet, do not fear,

But come with me to mother, dear."

The days grew short, the nights grew
chilly;

The frost was on the pasture hilly.

The birds to the south their way did

11-8
Said the1 little violet, “I’ll come anoth-
er spring.”
——-Maxine Anderson, Chief, Mich.

WISHING FOR SPRING.

Said eight-year—old Billy one day,

As he was going out doors to play;
“I wish that winter would go away,
And spring would come here today. ”

It has been so very, very cold
And the winds just growl and scold;
And I can’t go out and play,
Like I can on bright spring days.

The the first of April and spring’s not
here

This is certainly a funny year;

But maybe it will fool us yet,

Say, mother, wou1d you like to bet?

1 ——Martha Scbrieber, Elsie, Mich.

PLEASURES OF SPRING.
The meadows are thrifled

W1111 the 1-qu so say ‘

 

. .. ment and hot lunch clubs arepopular

The orchards are filled
With the blossoms of May.
ThBe little boy' 8 laughter
ythe brook on the hill,
Mfkyes mother call in rapture,
But no answer from Bill.

Then at last little footsteps are heard,

Trudging along on tho creaking old
bridge,

Nearing the house with a, voice like a

bird,
Plucking the flowers that grow on
the ridge.

When bedtime has come
And his prayers are said,
Spring is his hum
As he tumbles in bed.
—-—Francis L. Lee, Alto, Mich.

VOICE OF SPRING.
Andrew April-fooled his teacher
The other day in school,
And this is what makes me think
That April is our footstOol.

Qld March that came in sunny,
Made us think that Spring was near.
Some buds did swell, and pussies, too,
But, oh! 3. change was here.

The weather soon to zero went ‘ \
With wind, snow. and ice.
The little birds from the south that
came,
Did not think the weather nice.

The radiators in cars froze, too,
And water in troughs and pails did
swell.
We grabbed for our caps, warm mitts
and socks,
As zero the thermometer did tell.

Thus the first spring month did pass,
And April came dancing in at last,
With Easter Sunday at its head,
When many April fools were said

The first three days were warm with
rain;
The birds sang their tunes again.
But what’s ahead we do not know,
But hope we ’11 see no more snow.
——Florence Nelson, Memphis, Mich.

SPRING TIME.
Again the happy blldS have come,
he flowers will soon appear,
The frogs are croaking in the ponds,
Which tell us spring is here.

We love the spring time best of all,
\The bud and blossom time,

Where life does everywhere abound
And nature seems sublime.

We’ll greet the happy days of spring
And do the best we can
To make this dear old world of ours
A better place for man.

THE SPRING FEVER.

When you get a lazy feeling and the
world’s all set to rhyme,

Then there somehow comes a feeling
that it’s getting near summer-
time.

When the fruit-trees bring their blos-
soms and the wildflowers begin
to bloom,

Then the aromatic fragrance whispers
311m it’s nearing the days of

une.

 

Then you feel the joy of living, win-
ter’s sorrows fade away,

And there’s nothing that seems worth 1
doing except to sit around all

ay. .
Just to sit beneath the branches in
that nice delicious shade ,

dip and glide along the glade.

Just to hear the wind a-whi'spering
through the fresh and g’i‘owing _
leaves, 1

Makes your life stream get to pumping '
and a fellow really breathes.

All the mixed-up scents audi'fodors'
make one grand perfumebf life,

And the breezes that they’ re born on
bring repose and drive away all
strife.

Dear Uncle. Frank:

I have been to the office of the Mich-
igan Farmer twice since we moved to
Detroit, and have seen Uncle Frank.

»-He‘.looks7 just like the picture, only a;

bit‘ older. I am a member of‘ the
Merry Circle. I got a button today
when I was at the office.

I have seen all the presses and ma-
chines in the press room. I also saw
the. large rolls of paper they use to
print the papers you get ‘every week.
Uncle Frank told me about how they
made up the different pages of the
Michigan Farmer. He had a type slug
made with my name on it. It is Just
like they print our letters With. . I Will
be glad to answer any questions.—
Steve Gutoras, 163 South Morrell St...
Detroit, Mich. \

— I enjoyed the visit. with Steve and
his brother. Frank. Both. are fine boys.
Frank, especially, hated to come to

the, City to live.

Dear Uncle Frank: .

I was very much surprised when I
received my Merry Circle button and
membership card a few days ago. I
thank you very much for them. ‘

Say, Uncle Frank, why can't We
haw contestsrevery week? it seems
that. there‘s nothing to do when the
Michigan Farmer comes Without a
contest. ‘ _

Well, I must, close as my paper IS
running out. I wish to thank you
again far my Merry Circle button.

Hoping this escapes the waste has—
ket—Your nephew, Donald Lawyer,
Ada, Mich, R. 1. ‘

It pleases me to know you are pleas-
ed with the pin. Seems like you boys
and girls want me to work harder by
having contests every week. But if
you want it that way, it will have to

be. so.

Dear Uncle Frank:

This is the first time I have written
to you, because I am only ten years
old, and I thought I was too young.
But I guess not.

1 live on a one-hundred-acre farm
on the “Mackinaw Trail” and I just
love it. I wouldn’t live in the city for
anything. Yesterday I pust .a little
snow in the chicken-coop, and, oh!
how .much fun they had. I suppose
‘they were throwing snow-balls at each
other. ,

I agree with Rose Batterbee about
having a. contest every— week, and have
a motto. because I think it is lots of
fun.

I will close my Chatterbox for this
time. —.Another niece, Evelyn Nelson,
LeRoy. Mich, R. 1. ‘

NI ANY letters have come [from

those who have received Merry
Circle buttons. I am glad to get these
letters, as they let me know how well
the. buttons and cards are liked, and
besides, I am always glad to hear from
Merry Circlers.

()ther letters also come. from those
who have seen the Merry Circle but—
' tons and wish to
get one. They.ap-
parently have not

'. s looted ~§Uncle Frank,

Quite a“ few are anxious for con-
tests every week, so probably we’ll
have to run them that way. I think a
motto contestwill be a good’one, donTt
you? You are not too young.-

Dear Uncle Frank:

Just a line or two to tell Gladys
Clark that I quite agree with her. I’d
like to see Harold Cole. I’ll bet a
cent to a piece 0f pie that he‘di-ps into
mother's or sister’s p‘owder once in a
while. Mother is not ashamed to have
me wear knickers and I’m not asham—
ed to wear them either. My hair
doesn't happen to be bobbed, but that
isn’t saying that I didn’t try to have
it bobbed. I don’t agree ‘with Rose
Batterbee either.

I wish we Would have contests eve-
ry week. Why can’t we, Uncle Frank?
I don’t believe if you were so cute
when you were small, that you could
have. changed so very much.

Well, Mr. Cole. step up and say
something for yourself.

This is getting to be a regular de-
bate, isn’t it, Uncle Frank? Don’t you
think it’s interesting? Yours for this
very interesting argument. Jean Mai'n
Evans, Fenwick, Mich, R. 1.

That “ iypsy Sue” was a nice pen—

~name. but I had to cut it out because

it's against the rules. You are anoth-
er who wants me to work harder. Yes,
the debate is interesting. I hope the
“Hello" girl writes again.

Dear Uncle Frank:

.18 there room for another cousin?
My father takes the Michigan Farmer
and likes it real well. I enjoy read-
ing the letters written by the boys
and girls, and not seeing any from
boys or girls around VValdron thought
I would write.

I live about a mile from school and
am in the eighth grade. I have two
teachers and like them both.

I’ll tell you we have some real fun
all of the time at school, even when
We are studying. What? Yes. when
we are studying; because we like to
study. We have parties once a month
and programs as often. Sometime I
will write and tell you about them.

Don’t you think it would be fun to
have. some contests about “My Hap—
piest Fourth of July,” or any other
holiday. or else, “Which Holiday I
Like. Best," or else, “An Interesting
Game." Uncle Frank?

W'ell. good-bye. Uncle Frank and
cousins. until next time.——Frederick
R. Reynolds, V‘Valdron, Mich.

Thanks for the contest suggestion.“

You must have a dandy teacher to
get all of you to enjoy studying.

T116 flier/y Circle

would be wasteful and unnecessary.

The buttons and membership cards
can not he obtained in any other way.
Letters sent in the Letter Box, or the
sending in of drawings, stories or
poems, other than those for the con-
test, do not entitle one to them. The
only way to get them is to enter a
contest and do the best .you can to
follow its rules? ‘

I wish the boys and girls who have
these buttons and cards would explain
the method of getting them to those
who ask about them. From the letters!
I get, I know they are anxious to learn?
the way in which to become a Merry3
(,‘ircler and it will help \me. as it is
impossible for me to» answer all the
letters asking this information.

The next thing we need for the
Merry Circle is a motto.-~ Don’t you
think so? ‘And probably the best way
to get one is to have the Merry Ciro
lei-s pick one, So nextweekweiwill

OTHER’S milk is the first and
best food for lambs. It a ewe
or mother sheep has been well fed on
oats, bran, clover hay and a few roots
for at leasta menth before the birth
of the‘lamb, there is little danger of
a milk shortage for onelamb.

Lambs that have unkind mothers,
iisually need some help to obtain nour-
orishmenti The mother sheep may be
held by hand or tied with a. halter
while the lamb nurses. This is gener-
ally not necessary for more than two
or three days. ’

The transfer of lambs from one e‘we

while the lamb is still very young, by
fooling the ewe. which depends largely
on the sense of smell to identify her
offspring. If a ewe have but one lamb

her feed a second one, rub the two
lambs together until they have the
same smell, and then test the ewe’s
ability to identify.

If a ewe loses her lamb and it is de—
sired to hate her adopt and feed an-
other one, such can be done by remov-
ing the skin from the dead lamb and
placing it on the back of the “lamb that
it is desired she should adopt. This
must, of course, be done in a very
short time, by cutting a slit in each
corner of the pelt through which the
legs of the living lamb may be passed,
it is easy to keep the skin in place for
a few days.

Twin lambs freQuently do not .get
sufficient milk for best development,
and the stronger lamb will get more
than its share. «Close attention must
be given to both lambs. When lambs
are not getting all the milk that they
need from their mothers, they should
be taught to drink cow’s milk from a
bottle or pan.

Grain Feeding.

When the lambs are two or three
weeks’ old they will start nibbling at
grain, hay or grass. At this time they
should be encouraged to eat by plac-
ing choice bits of fodder and grainln
a small feed trough where they can
reach it without being disturbed by
the older sheep. Bran, ground oats,
cracked corn and oil cake meal are
very desirable concentrates for lambs.

The amount of grain to feed will de-
pend largely upon the use that it is
desired to make of those lambs. Lambs
for the “hot-house lamb” trade require
liberal grain feeding, while those for
breeding, or ordinary markets, should
be limited within the bounds of profit-
able feeding. ,Witli lambs for exhibi-
tion, costs are sometimes of secondary
importance and the grain feeding is
more liberal than it is with the lambs
of the breeding or market type.
Lambs that are grain-fed will reach
market weight six or eight weeks ear-
lier than those not receiving grain
until the commencement of the fattén-
lag period.

When grain feeding is too liberal,
either before or after weaning, the
lambs will depend upon the grain
feeds and not eat as much grass or
other roughage as is in keeping with
profitable feeding. The amount of
grain to feed must be determined by
the age of the lamb. the purpose for
which it is beign .reared, and the
coarse feeds available.

Grain feeding from the time the”
lambs begin to eat is a profitable prac;
tice if the amount of grain fed'per dayB
does not reduce thelamb's appetite fer
grass and other coarse feeds. During

ngrain fed per lamb should generally
not exceed one and one-half pounds
per day. Good pasture grass, clovers,

 

to another can be made at birth or‘

a. day old, and it is desired to have «mu

Mange.—Heifer has mange, mostly
aflecting her neck. W. T., Mt. Clem<
ens, Mich.-Apply one part sulphur,
half a part carbonate of potash and
four parts lard.

P. D. 3., Marshall, Mich—Perhaps
your six-year-old mare is foot—sore;

~ try standing her in tepid water for

two hours a day. Give each calf a. tea-
spoon of bicarbonate of soda in feed
two or three times a day. You are
feeding them a good ration.

Dropsy—Leaks Milk.~——Three weeks
before my three-year~old heifer came
fresh, she had caked udder, also swell-
ing under belly. She leaks milk. E.
D. S., Hale, Mich—Apply equal parts
of tincture of iodine and camphorated
oil to swelling daily. Milk her three
times a day.

Bioating.——Have a steer weighing
about 400 pounds which bloats after
eating. E. N.. Mariette, Mich—Mix
equal parts of ginger, gentian, baking
soda and powdered wood charcoal to-
gether, give calf two tablespoonfuls
in each feed.

Chronic Cough—l have an eight-
year-old mare that has had dry cough
for the past two years, but her wind
is not affected. T. A M., Casevllle,
Mich—Give her equine cough syrup,
orgive Glyco-heroin (Smith) accord-
ing to directions.

Poll-eviI.—My horse has a running
sore, located two inches back of ear,
and I was told to leave it alone and
he would et well, but he is ,no bet-
ter. G. ”B., ears, Mich—With a clean
syringe inject a two per cent creolin
solution twice a day. An abscess of
this kind should have drainage.

Rheumatism.—For the past six
weeks my hogs have been crippled,
loss of appetite, are worse some days
than others; have changed their
feed. H. S., Harbor Beach, Mich.—

‘ Feed less corn, more oats, oilmeal,

roots, clover, also give them some
crushed limestone rock, air-slaked
lime, and salt in their feed three times

\ a day.

Dehorning.——I have a. six-day-old
heifer calf that I want to raise. What
can I do to prevent its horns grow-
ing? A. C. T., Benton Harbor, Mich.
——If you will cautiously apply caustic
potash, or secure any one of the
chemical dehorner preparations it
will prevent horns growing. It is much
more certain to be successful .to apply
it when the calf is three days old, but
it can be done upto four weeks: it may
be necessary to make more than one
application.

Hard Milken—Recently i purchased
a self-retaining milking tube, expect-
mg to make milking easier on one of
my cows, but I may not use it right.
7‘1 0., Lincoln, Mich.~--The trouble
in hard milkers is usually low down
1n the teat, and if the teat canal is
slit'on four sides, also opening at end
of test, milking is made easier. Y\our
veterinarian can do this work, but, of
course, he requires a concealed bis-
toury to do the operation. After the
operation teat plugs should be worn
for several days.

lndigestion—Pinworms.—-I have two

‘ horses that are not thriving, have no-
, need them pass a few pinwo'nm' late-

ly. H. G. B., Daggett, Mich—Give
each horse half a dram of fluid extract
of nux vomica. and three drams of
Fowler’s Solution at a dose in feed
or m drinking water three times a
day. Occasionally flush rectum with
temd_water, follow with one part coal-
tar dlsinfectant and forty parts tepid
water. Use a clean. fountain syringe,
then you will not injure the bowel.

Feet Soreness.—My. LEGO-pound
five-year-old mare is lame and sore in
front lges. Our v terin‘ary , ought
she had been foun cred; blac smith
says she has sound hoofs. Shoulder
and breast muscles are some sween-
ied. J. J. J., Sand'Lake, Mich—Fol-
lowing foot soreness the muscles of

shoulder/will decrease in size, but her '

 

trouble is in the feet. Stand her in
tepid water and wheat bran two or
three hours daily; apply lamina to
hours daily. Apply widowebbed shoe.

WHEAT

The official estimate upon the condi-
tion Of winter wheat as of April 1 was
75.2, the lowest on record on that date
with the exception of 1917 when the
figure was 63.4. \Veather conditiors
since April 1, however. have been
much less favorable than usual so that
the crop has gone backward in the
last two weeks and it is probable that
the abandoned acreage will be consid-
erably above normal. There has also
been but little seeding of spring wheat.
European buyers have been in the mar-
ket more extensively. It is probable
that the increase in foreign buying
will continue up to the end Of the sea-
s0n. \Vith a crop scare on and in-
creased sales for export, prices have
advanced to the highest point in the

crop year.
RYE

«The condition of the rye crop on
April 1 was estimated at 81.8 as com-
pared with 89 last year and a ten—year
average of 88.6. The condition this
year was the. lowest on record on Ap-
ril 1. The t’orecasted yield was 75,-
784,000 bushels as against 95,497,000
bushels last year. Export demand for
rye increased decidedly last week.

CORN

Corn prices advanced still further
last week, with the higher grades at
Chicago selling above 30 cents for the
first time since the fall Of 1920. Spec-

/ ulative buying was a factor, based on
renewed activity among domestic dis-
tributors and.exporters. A minor set-
back .may occur if speculative holdings
are sold but the demand. for cash corn
is Of such breadth that-the foundation
of the market seems to have been
raised permanently and still higher
prices are probable during the spring
and summer. Producers are not sell-
ing freely in spite of: the advance. _

OATS

‘ Oats prices also reached the highest
. ipoint of the season with delayed seed-
' ,ingand steadily shrinking supplies at
terminals ‘the principal factors of

astrength.

since 'stocks are large, a. substantial
carryover is expected. Prices will
probably remain around the present
level until the spring planting season

IS over. FEEDS

Most by—product feeds declined
slightly. last week but‘, the late spring
is extending the feeding season‘to
some extent. and demand shows a
slight improvement. Bran for shipment
in May and June is quoted at a' dis
count of about $5 below the prevailing
DTICBS.. The cottonseed meal market
was slightly firmer but linseed meal
lost additional ground.

HAY ,
Most hay markets in the central

west are firm as a result of moderate
receipts and fairly active demand, es-

pecially for shipment to southern
pomts. Kansas City reports a sharp

advance in the last. month. Prices at
eastern points are steady.

POULTRY AND EGGS

A brief lull in the demand for eggs
followed the Easter period but pur-
chases for storage as well as by con-
sumers are. increasing again. Receipts
at. the leading cities in the last two
weeks have been considerably less
than in the corresponding weeks of
last year. Since the accumulation of
eggs In storage is below the aVerage
for this time of year, the situation is
much stronger and prices are about
three cents higher than expected two
months ago when the lay promised to
be the largest on record ‘

Butter prri
cents per pound last week. Produc-

tion reports show a steady increase in'

the make for the last several weeks
and receipts at the' leading markets
are practically equal to current con-
sumptive needs so that accumulation
of butter in storage will begin soon.
In previous years stocks in storage at
the four leading cities have begun to
increase somewhere between the mid-
dle of April and the middle of May.
Stocks in storage at present are small
but they will be sufficient to supply
requirements until the stream turns
into storage again. The extremely nar-
row range of prices on various scores
continues but there are signs that
more undergrade butter will begin to
arrive soon as spring defects are in
evidence.

Prices for 92-score fresh creamery
butter were as follows: Chicago at
44@441,§c; New York at 46%0. Fresh
creamery in tubs in Detroit 44@45c.

POTATOES

Northern sacked round potatoes
,were firm last week while the eastern
stock advanced ]5@20c per 100 pounds
in consuming centers. Northern whites
are quoted at $1.20@1.50 in the Chi-
cago carlot market and $1.35@1.90 in
other midwestern cities. Shipments
from producing sections are averaging
above 5,000 cars weekly right along
but.with stocks in the consuming cent-
ers depleted and’ new potatoes much
less abundant than last year or two
year ago, it is probable that prices on
Old potatoes will hold near present
levels until the end of the season.

APPLES

Prices on barreled apples declined
sharply last week with the New York
Baldwins quoted at $5@6 per ”barrel
in consuming centers. Receipts are

- WOOL

Although woOl markets are not es-

slight upward tendency. ‘ Foreign mur-
kets also are rising with an advance
of five to seven and one-half per cent
reported at Australian sales last week.
NO change is~apparent in the manufac-
turing situation as mills have advance
orders which will keep them running
well into the summer. Under the con-
ditions the new clip is likely to change
hands at present prices or higher. The

DETROIT CITY MARKET

Potatoes are the feature of this
week’s market. They are only in fair
supply and that, .with the cod de-
mand, isbringing higher prices. The
cold weather has cut down the supply
of eggs and has made the market firm-
er. There is a moderate demand for
cabbage, rhubarb and horseradish.
Veal and hogs are slow. Apples are
quoted at. 90c@$3 per bu; cabbage at
50@90c per bu; carrots $1@2; eggs
26@3OC; horseradish $3@6; dry on-
ions $1.25(rP2.50 per bu; parsley rOut

GRAND RAPIDS

The three-day-a-week sessions of
the city wholesale market is gradu-
ally growing, with quite large offer-
ings of potatoes, carrots, -rutabagas,
parsnips, cabbage andhothouse let-
tuce in the stalls. Fourteen loads Of
potatoes were on sale one day. Prices

riety. Winter Russets sell well. Eggs
are scarce and firm, bids early this

“Scrub” Lubrication. ,
doesn’t. pay [Le

LAIN COMMON SENSE shows you that
scrub cattle will give you neither the most
dollars in milk, nor .the best prices for your beef.

Plain common sense leads you to choose the
breed of hen which proves itself the best egg
layer or most salable fowl.

This same good common sense is causing a

growing number of farmers to use only Gar-
goyle Mobiloil for the lubrication of their
automobiles, their motor trucks, their tractors,
their farm lighting units, and other farm
machinery.

Why?

(1) Because Gargoyle Mobiloil has behind it a‘

pedigree—it is produced from crude petro-
leum chosen for its lubricating value, not
its high yield of kerosene or gasoline.

(2) Because Gargoyle Mobiloil, like registered
herds or pedigreed poultry runs “true to
type.” For example: '

Examination of 20 gallons of any one grade
of Gargoyle Mobiloil, bought at different
times in different parts of the country, will
show far less variation than any two Hol-
stein cows, or Plymouth Rock hens.
Certain cheap oils peddled frOm door to
door vary in physical characteristics as
widely as the individual cows in a herd of
mixed breeds. ’

Because each batch ‘of Gar-l
goyle Mobiloil has been thor-
oughly tested and proved be—.
fore it- is sold to you. 'It is
refined and filtered with un--
usual care and thoroughness

t, your own good common sense
pass upon these simple facts

from selected stocks to insure highest lu-
bricating qualities.
Profits in Pedigreed Lubrication

Pure—bred'cattle will always cost more“. than
scrubs—and .rhow more profit in the long ran.
’Gargoyle Mobiloil will always cost more than

cheap oils which vary in character and quality '

——and——Gargoy1e Mobiloil will'invariably show

lower operating costs. ’ ' -
This is a fact which thousands of farmers

have proved for themselves. ' .

Gargoyle Mobiloil has more endorsements
