CURRENT COMMENT





 





The successful farmer cooperates

with the weather to grow good crops.





Self-satisfaction is one of the great-

est obstacles to accomplishment.





To criticize is one of the easiest

things to do. Tp plaise whele praise

is due is often left undone.





Politics and public good ought to be

synonymous, but too often they are

opposites.





The present boys’ and girls' clubs

are more effective in making good and

useful bOys and girls than the old club

Granddad used as part of the educa-

tion of his young.





When we look at all the evil there

is, we think the world is going to the

dogs. When we consider all the good

there is, we are sure it is getting bet-

ter. The point of view makes a lot

of difference.





HE Michigan Ag-





Our ricultural College



,- is primarily a farm-

Farmers ers’ college Its great

College work should be the





bettelment of Michi-

gan agriculture, not only by providing

the best possible facilities for the tech-

nical training of: farm boys and girls,

but as well in exhaustive research

work along every line which promises

to establish pertinent facts regarding

any phase of agriculture, and finally

in the general dissemination of such

facts to the farmers of the state.





Obviously the direction of the work

of the college along these many lines

is a technical jop, involving as it does,

scientific knowl‘édge aIOng many lines.

But to be of the greatest benefit to the

agriculture of the state this work must

also be directed along pl actical lines,

and with a broad vision of the end to

be gained.





Fortunately, Dean Shaw, upon whom





now devolves the task of directing the.





work at M. A. C. is a. practical man.

with a keen appreciation of the end to

be sought. He is also a man of more

than ordinarily broad vision, but every

Wman’s vision is necessarilyrlimit'ed by

.his viewpoint, and is ,bound to be

broadened by getting the viewpoint of

his contemporaries. -



.To the end that Acting President

7-811;w may have this advantage we

r399 interested readers of the Michi-

gdh Farmer, and every reader ought





3 {Farmer-,gpr to 110111“:ng





 





tical aid to, them and to the tenants

their community and of the state.





M. A. C. is the farmer’s college, and

the . consensus of farmer opinion

should have greater weight in” the

guidance ,of its practical work along

the most constructive lines, than the

opinions of farm organization leaders

which may be walped because of their

viewpoint from a specialized angle.

Our present duty lies in exercising our

individual‘and collective influence in

harmonizing the viewpoint of the new

president of M. A. C., and of the mem-

bers of the State Board of Agriculture

with intelligent general farmer opin-

ion, to the end that the college may

continue and better the quality of its

work for Michigan agriculture, with a

minimum of loss as a reSult of the re





cent eruption in college administrative -





circles. Let the thinking farmers of

the state be heard on this question.

There is apparent need of their advice

and counsel.



, While the Michigan Farmer has re-

ceived letters from its readers com<

'mending our announced intention to

inform them regarding the cause or

causes contributing to the recent

course of college events, and demand-

ing the whole truth regarding them,

we have been unable to uncover the

real facts to date.





There are unconfirmed rumors and

second-hand statements in plenty, but





no member of the board has seen fit-





to make any statement regarding it. A

statement has been published during

the past week to the effect that Pres-

ident Fliday and the members of the

board had mutually agleed to make

no statements legalding the matter.

With an apparent disinclination on the

part of the members of the board to

take the farmers of the state into their

confidence in the matter, we believe

that the best interest of the college

and its work demand that the farmers

of Michigan express their views as to

the policy which should be pursued at

M. A. C., palticularly as to the eco—

nomic program advanced by Dr. Fri-

day, which in We absence of other rea—

sons must be considered to have been

a factor leading up to the actiou of the

board and Dr. Friday’s resignation,

»which have been commented on in re-

cent issues.





We would -be glad to hear from our

readers on this point and on their gen

eral views regarding the policy which

should be pulsued at M. A. C.





T may be stated as





Time _ a fundamental fact

that whenever any



to important commodity

Invest which is necessary to





human welfare is sell-

ing well below the average level of

prices, it is a good time to invest in it.

in other words, when days of depres?

sion come upon an established indus—

try, it is then that investments in that

industry are safe. in this way will

the return swing of the pendulum,

which is inevitable, find the fore-hand-

ed man stocked up with products to

sell when prices ‘have again reached

high tide.

It would appear, in a general way,

that this is what we should seek in

life; to‘ get ourselves werking harmon-

iously with those about us. Let the

clangs knock off the superstitions and

suspicious, and then, keep onin faith

and hope till our life has been adjust-

ed to ,that of our neighbor, and'our

community is adjusted to other com-

munities. it is simply another way

of repeating in concert the old, but

much broken, golden rule.‘





n





s'rrrcn in time,





saves nine” is an



[air -old adage which ap-

a r plies to every kind of

Returns human effort, but it





applies with more

force and uniformity to. farming than

to many other lines of etfort. This is

true for the reason that there are

more conditions to be met in farming

over which we have no control, than

in most other kinds of business.





The weather is one of the most ser-

It is never

ideal from our standpoint, yet some-

how most of us fail to take this fact

into account in making our plans for

the season’s campaign. Right now

many farmers who have delayed plow-

ing for late planted crops are worried

because of a lack of moisture which

makes the plowing hard-and the crops

uncertain, while the farmers in the

same communities who got their

ground plowed early for the same

crops were able to conserve needed

moisture against planting time and

kill the weeds in advance of the culti~

vating season. The cost of plowing

early when soil and temperature con-

ditions were better for the work was

less, and the probable returns on the

labor invested are muchsgreater.





The farmer Who planted a few ker-

nels of crib corn in a pan under the

kitchen stove and concluded it was all

right for seed; and finds on digging

into the hills in the field that only

about half of it is growing, is bemoan-





ing his luck—and replanting his field of the family. But with us birds what-





with the certainty that the return

for his labor will be less than that of

‘his neighbor who made an ear test or

his seed. .





The same truths apply all along the

line. Maximum labor returns on the

farm are the result of careful plan-

ning, which takes into account the

handicaps that are more than likely to

be met.

"but worse than that, the raspberry

This was a problem until the plant

and fruit experts got busy and found

that there was a wide-spread prev-

alence of bramble diseases such as

leaf curl, mosaic and blue ‘stem.



As these diseases can not be elim-

inated by curative methods, the con-

trol isby the process of selection. By

that means, all diseased plants Ore de-

strdyed and only healthy ones planted.

Such work can be best handled in the

nursery row by the means or rigid in-

spection. ~

ADVERTISIN’ is a subject what is

very interestin’. The writer of the

big book says advertisin’ is “makin’

public your wishes or intenshuns, the

makin’ public of your business.” Now,

if Mr. Webster woulda asked me, I

woulda told him that advertisin’ is the

science of makin' impreshuns.

all there is to life‘is the makin’ of im-

preshuns and gettin’ impressed upon,

So, really, advertisin’ is life itself.

For inst, the flower with its bright

colors and perfume makes 'a impresh-

un on the bee so that it will come and

get the honey. By its buzzin’, the mos-

. quite makes such

a impreshun on

you that you slap

yourself in the

is called “some

But evenwe men are advertisers.

The objects in unsex~

as the altering of males of swine or





cattle. Capons are unsexed male birds.

This practice is very old in Europe

and capons was a favorite dish on the

tables of kings and potentates in cen-

turies past. In those days surgery

May hatches have resulted in podr

turn, tends to lower theprice of broil-

in February and March, after the rush

season is over. At present the market

is limited in Michigan cities, but Chi-





"cago and New York pay good premi-





ums for capons. '



Capons are very docile and can be

raised on the same range with pullets

and cause no trouble. They grow rap-

idly and lay on heavy, solt muscling.

very economical use of a large range

tice is limited. Capons have been

known to raise chickens, turkey poults

and ducklings, and make excellent





“mothers.” This quiet disposition

makes them readily fattened and eas-

ily~ handled.





Breeds for Capons.



The great bulk of our capons come

fiom the general purpose bleeds, as

Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds

and White Wyandottes. We have, how-





ever, in some places a trade developed

sufficiently to make the raising of

poultry for meat profitable enough

that less attention is paid to egg pro-

duction and a “meat” type breed. This

has been done in England to some ex;

tent with Orpingtons, Cornish and Sus-

sex. Brahmas have always been a fave

orite breed for capon production. Cross

breeding has been practiced in capon

production to good advantage. Brahma

and Cornish males are commonly used

and bred to Rocks, Wyandotte and

Orpington females in order to secure

greaten fecundity. Pullets from such

matings-should be consigned to the

block and not] retained as breeders.



The Mediterranean breeds make poor



capons. They do not attain sufficient



size nor quality to make them of value



on a capon market. ‘

Age to Caponize.



The most common question, and one

which is difficult-to answer is. “How

old and how large should a cockerel

be for caponizing?” It is not a matter

of age or size so much as it is a mat—

ter of stage of development. The age

varies from six to ten weeks and the

size from one and one-half to three





pounds. Cockerels should be capon-

ized just as they begin.to show sexual

development by the comb commencing

to grow. Usually in the heavy breeds

it is safe to say that cockerels weigh-

ing one and one-half to two pounds,

and from six to eight weeks of age,

will be about right. Leghorns will have

to be worked younger due to the early

development. At the time of operating '

the organs should be about the size of:

Instruments. ,



Speciallinstruments are required for

the operation. These are manufactur-

ed and sold by several firms. A great

deal of stress should be placed on the





selection of good instruments. This

refers particularly to the removers.

The instruments required are;



1. Knife.



2. Dilaters.



3. Probe. 9 .





4. Removers.



A sharp pocket knife will serve the

purpose very well if it is sharp. The

spreader or dilater is used to dilate

the opening and ribs in order to

permit seeing and working. These are

of several types and have various

means of adjustment '



The piobe should be flattened at one

end and with a sham bunt hook at the

other. The blunt end is used to press

the intestines back and the sharp hook

to tear the membranes or peritoneum

which lines the abdomen.



The most important instrument is,

of course, the remover. This is de-

signed to grasp the testicle and re-

move it. It should be so made to al-

low no part of the organ to slip back

or remain attached. It is largely a

matter of preference as the best type

to select. There are several reliable

Farmers to Secure Credit ou Reasouuéle [arms





HE enactment of the agricultul-

al c1edits law during the clos-

ing hours of the last congress,

with the federal farm' loan sys-

tem already functioning, gives the

farmers. credit facilities for both long

time farm loans on easy payments,

'and lowyrate of interest, and short

term production and marketing credits.



Each system provides two methods

'of loaning money to farmers—govern-

ment—owned and operated agencies

and privateagencies under govern-

ment supervision and ,control.



The federal land bank with its aux-

iliary local farm loan associations was

designed to provime the means where-

.by farmers could cooperate in secur-



h‘ inglong—time loans on then real es-

tate. The joint stock land bank was

designed to meet the requirements of

those farmers who are not willing to

cooperate or‘ are not situated where

they can join the local association.



The method of obtaining loans under

the farm loan association system is so

well known as to need little explana-

Lion.



The Joint Stock Land Banks.

of Columbia. The south and west are

pretty well supplied With joint stock

land banks.



Joint stock land banks ale as much

a pait ol the fedelal farm loan system

‘as are the, federal land banks.



The federal land bank, organized as

it is on a cooperative basis, does not

so readily lend itself to a close affiilia—

tion,,with the smal commercial banks

of the farming sections as dOes the

joint stock land bank. In some i11-

stances, however, the countly banker

has formed a connection with the fed—

eral land bank by becoming secretary

of, the local farm loan association.



In making loans to farmers, as a





rule, the joint stock land banks have





Reynolds





been somewhat more liberal in their

requirements, and have shown more

elasticity in adapting their rles to the

needs of particular sections and types

or" farming than have' the federal land

banks.



When the Federal Farm Loan Asso-

ciations were being formed in New

York state, several years ago, there

was much dissatisfaction because of

the ’fact that in making appraisals of

faim land values as a basis 01 loans.

no account was taken 01 the value of

orchaid t1ees. This was especially dis—

appointing to the fruit growers



The joint stock land banks have

overcomethis difficulty to some ex

tent. They lend on appraised value of

the land, plus a percentage 01‘ the com—

mercial value of the orchard, requir-

How to Get the Money.



The method of securing loans

through the joint stock land bank is

about'as follows:



Henry James is desirous of securing

a loan 011 his farm. He goes to his

local country banker

what joint stock land bank he repre-

sents. Most country bankers 110w have

connection with one or the other joint

stock land banks operating in, their

territory.



The lecal banker will secure the

loan for him, and will charge no com-

missiOn. The law does not permit a.

country banker to charge a. commis-

sion oopa loan from a joint stock land

bank. 111 some instances the local

banker is compensatéd' by the/joint

Fa‘rmere Not Heavy Stockholders. _



I haVe been unable to find trace of a

joint stock land .bank being, owned

wholly by farmers. Quite a number of

farmers are stockholders in these

banks, but in small amounts. Ordinar-

ily, at least since the beginning of de-

flation, the farmers have had use for

their money in their farming opera-

.tions.



Mapy countiy bankers are stock-

holders in joint stock land banks, the

Milwaukee bank having 250 stock-

holders, all of whom “are connect-

ed with country banks, quite a number

being farmers who have moved to

town.



The farmer can buy stock in the

joint stock land bank through his local

banker, but it is optional. Some of

these banks have no stock for sale.





Even if it were possible to organize a.

strictly farmer-owned joint stock land

bank with this capital, the stockhold-

ers could not afford to risk its manage-





would require the services of a capable

man trained in banking to manage its

affairs.

failure would be inevitable. Closely

adhering to this precaution there is no

reason why an all farmer-owned joint

stock land bank should not be suc-

cessful.



Upwards of a billion dollars, it is

said, have been loaned on farms by





banks, and the system is making a

rapid growth.

Helps Farmer Indirectly.



The agricultural credits act. of 1923

has been explained in considerable de-

tail by the various agencies dealing

with the problem of farm financing.

Most of the official statements, how-

ever, fail to cover the point as to just

‘what method the individual farmer can

employ to secure loans under its pro-

visions. ,



, The agricultural credits act is not

an individual farmer propositiou. It

has little to offer the individual farmer

whose products are not pooled in a co-

operative association and stored in a

government licensed warehouse.



The government 'loan agencies,

known as the intermediate credit

long standing. In this billion dollar

These intermediate credit banks are

authorized to discdunt and purchase

notes given to banks for agricultural

and live stock purposes. They also

can make loans direct 1% cobperative

associations on the basis of warehouse

receipts or mortgages on live stock.



Two Methods Of Securing a Loan.



Asan individual the farmer cannot

borrow from an intermediate credit

bank. He has two ways Open, how-

ever, whereby he can Secure a loan.

He can join a cooperative associatiop

which stores his produce in a federal

bonded warehouse. or through his 10‘

cal bank, which under the provisions

of the law can take the notes of its

farmer customers, secured on money

loaned for agricultural purposes, and

have these notes discounted» with the

intermediate credit banks.



It is not even necessary that the

notes so discounted shall have back of

them chattel mortgages or warehouse

receipts. It will thus be seen that the

country banks, by taking advantage

of the loaning facilities provided by

the intermediate credit banks to se«

cure funds to loan to farmers, can. cou-

tinue and perhaps increase their use-

fulness in country communities.





Until the cooperative movement and

warehousing facilities are greatly ex-

tended it is apparent that the country

banks offer the most practicable

means of securing loans for agricub

tural production and marketing under

the new short-time credit act. 1





This act Should encourage farmers

to cooperate as borroWers. It is point:

ed out by V. N. Valgren, associate ag-

ricultural economist in farm finance of

the bureau of agricultural economics,

that a‘ national agricultural credits as-

sociation, under private capital, could

make loans direct to farmers as well

as deal in agricultural paper generally,

securing its funds through the agricul-

tural credits banks. Such a national

credits corporation owned by farmers

could Corganize under the recent act,

obtaining its charter from the comp-

troller of the currency. #112 is also prob~

able that these associations could be

ciganized under state laws, as has al<

1eady been done in Iowa.

wish you had my job?” An I says

sometimes I do specially wen I think

of them Congressmen of ours wen they

are down‘at Washington doin’ every-

thing to prolong their jobs an make

us believe they are doin’ great things

for us. Well, maybe it’s good to be

on Uncle Sam’s payroll but I’d kinda.





g hate to have folks talk about me like





I have heard a lot of folks in this

neighborhood talk about their repre-

sentatives down at the‘seat of our gov-

ernment. ’



By the way Pete, some talk is pretty

cheap an folks might better keep still

for rumors is sometimes awful badn

break up the unity of the community.

Jimmy .Hooper, you know what lives

down in Froghollow long side of the

crick where we usta go swimmin. Well

the other day some of the neighbor-

hood boys went in swimmip’ an the

best hole you know is on Jimmy’s

place. Well‘Jim‘my is so blamed stingy

that he didn’t even want the‘boys to

swim 'in the crick on his farm-even tho

thewater'was nearly ready to run

under the bridge into Sam Orr’s place.





But the boys went anyhow an Jim-

my came a rarin doWn. the field and

across the pasture an took some of the

boys clothes an then said there was a

fierce bull in the pasture that mite

gore em’ tog/death wich wasn’tgso at

all. That ole bull isas tame'as Jake

Stackem’s old dog ,tho the dog don’t

take after Jake in any way, in kind-

ness or lack of it. Jimmy's boy Regi-

nald rides that bull all over the farm.

Well Reginald, an be aint to blame for

his name either, tell you about. that

when you get home, well he was a bid-

in behind the hedge fence an saw

the beys was scared but he went an

borhood heard all of it the same time.

Jimmy said he only did it to save the

boys livesan teach em a lesson an

that it was all rite if they wanted to

swim there providin’ they watched out

for the bull. I wonder was Jimmy re-

ferrin to the one in the pasture or to

the one he made.



Reminds me of a certain man who

didn’t have any too savory a reputa-

tion come down to his breakfast one

morning and when he picked up the

paper he read the announcement of

his death. He went to the telephone

and rang up one of his friends an says

“Hello Bill,” “Have you seen the 'an-

nouncement of my death in the pa-

per?" “Yes” replied Bill, “Where are

you speaking from?” '



Well Pete thanks for them direc—

tions for gettin rid of them little green

bugs wat you call’s Aphids. They aint

any left now. I didn’t hear Vera com-

plain about them so I went out to look

an all there was left of' them was a

few skeletons. I got that Black Leaf

Fourty too but never needed to use it.

I am too. Nothin like havin a little

You know Charley Gilkey’s place:

He started two years ago cleaning up

the yard after he bought the farm and

set out a lot of shrubs and perennials

and laid out the drives an did a lot of

work. Lots of neighbors pohooed and

said he was gettin’ swelled up with

style. Made some mean remarks about

bookt‘armin’ an all that. Well it’s

Charley’s turn to laugh this year. His

place looks purty‘ as a picture‘and it

don’t take much work to keep it up

either.



Met Mary Martin’s father the other

day with a whole truckload of shrubs

and trees he had gotten down on the

crick bottom. Said Mary had gone

with him and picked them out and

they were going to fix up their place.

Our pioneer forefathers not only tol-

cratcd a few black sheep, but even

were pleased with them so they could

get some coloring in the “homespun”





 





is now done with artificial dyes, black

sheep are no longer tolerated.



The writer has seen lambs that were

dark brown when first dropped and af-

ter that had black spots on side or

shoulder. but this color gradually dis-

appeared as the lamb grew up and did

not harm. The fleece inside was white

and coloring did not occur in the sec-

ond fleece.



The only way to get this black out

of your flock is to breed it out as you

suggest. But if the lamb is black only

when young this will do no harm.

If yourland is free of grass would

suggest seeding in April or early May,

using one bushel of barley per acre as

a companion crop. Care should be tak—

Allow the seed to go before the drill

If your land has not given good re-

sults with clover, it is very likely that

it is in need of lime. The usual ap-

plication is two tons of finely ground

limestone, or three or four cubic yards

of .marl per acre.



In case your land is infested with





quack grass or June grass, it would be —





advisable to work with disc and har-

time without a companion crop.~J. F.

WEEDS 0(N MU’CK SOIL.





 





I have a couple of acres of weedy

muck land. I had thought of sowing

Sudan grass and mowing it once (for

hay), and then let it get a good

growth and plow it under. Have also

thought of dragging once a week or

so and then in August sow it to rye

and plow that under in the spring.

Now, what do you think would clean

it fine best and still improve my land?

— . R.





There is no better way of extermi-

nating weeds than to summer-fallow,

as you suggest, and sow to rye in Aug-

ust or September. If the harrowing

is thoroughly done and as often as

once each week, there will be but few

Weeds left or weed seed even in the

surface 5011.. But, of course, you get

nothing from the ‘land for one season

to pay for your labor.



Seeding to Sudan grass will not ex—

terminate weeds. It will only keep

them from growing. "l‘he seed will lay

there dormant and" when you plow

again they will germinate quite readily.



If you could plant this field to some

hoed crop like corn, beans, sugar beets,

potatoes, any hoéd crop that will do

fairly well on this soil and then give

very thorough cultivation, you would

destroy the weeds the same as in sum-

mer-fallowing, and you'would have the

crop to pay for your labor. '

PLAN To SAVE FOREST-S.





 





THE revived Michigan Fmestry As-

sociation is hea1tily behind the

plans of United States Foreste1 G1eel-

ey to purchase, through acts of con—

gress, a million 'or.more acres'in Micn-

igan for use as national forest parks.



The letter Sent out by the president

of the association, Pr.of Filbert Roth

and its seeie,tary Russell Watson, 1e~

fers to the saving of the 3, 500, 000 acres



1' lvirgin timber in the Upper Penin-

sula and the 3,000 000 acres of wood-

lots in the Lower Peninsula, in the

endeavor to bring Michigan back to

its leadership in the timber industry.



At p1esent we pay about $15, 000, 000

in freight a year for timber shipped in

and about $15, 000, 000 to $20, 000, 000 101

extla fancy prices on lumbe1. Thesfi

two sums equal about two—thirds of our

state tax levy. If a small part of this

sum could be spent in developing our

idle forest lands much of these excess

cha1ges could be eliminated.

SPRAY'ISN G POTATOES.





 





I would like some infonmation on

the use of B01 deaux mixtule for spray-

ing potatoes. 1 have a five- -ac1e field

01 em 1y potatoes planted the last week

in Ap1il. They seem to be g10wing

p1etty well, but I would like to know

if Bordeaux would help them any?

How much would it cost per ac1e each

time I spiayed them? How often

should they be sprayed? Will the usei

of the mixture increase the yield any

01 enough to pay for the extra ex-

pense? This piece of ground was a

heavy June grass sod that had been

pastured for about fifteen years ———S. S.





"It is ve1y difficult to give you ac-

curate information as to what effect

Bordeaux mixture will have on your

potato crop'this season, as so much

depends upon the weather conditions.

The1e-a1e some seasons in which B01-

deaux mixtu1e is the sole means of

saving the potato c10p, especially

when the blight is serious.





Most of the progressive potato grow-





ers think‘that Bordeaux mixture has .





enough invigorating effect on the po-.

tato plant in seasons when disease is

not prevalent to pay for its use.





For efficient control of the blight

and other diseases the B01 deaux ought

to be appliedjevery week or ten days,

beginning when the plants are ‘six,

inches high. 3The number of applica—1

tions depends lalgely upon the weath—





er, in some seasons three sprayings





a cure but. a preventative, the Bor-

deaux must be applied to the plant

' before the blight appears, otherwise it

will be very. difficult to control the

disease.





For each applicatiOn from fifty to

one hundred gallons of spray mixture





our time and labor in applying

the cost would not be very great.

the cranking of cars





. The first electric starter put on an automobile as

standard equipment (in‘ 1911) depended for its power

on the Exide Battery. The same fine make of car has



-, used the Exide exclusively ever since. .

More automobiles. built today leave the manufac-



-turers’ hands equipped with Exide Batteries than with

any other battery. It is natural that Exide should lead

in the automobile field 1n time and 1n numbers, because





dustrics long before the automobile was invented.





Long-lasting power





These things are of interest to you only as indicating

the experience back of the Exide that has enabled it to

earn the title of the long-Iife battery. Rugged power

is built into the Exide. It lasts so long that it saves its

. o ’ owner money.



SYour safety 'and comfort in motoring depend to a

decided degree upon the worthwhileness of your battery.

DOING CONSTRUCTIVE WORK.





 





T the May meeting of the board of



directors of the Upper Peninsula

Development Bureau, three appropria-

tions of especial interest to farmers.

were passed. One of these continues

the cooperative agreement with the

Michigan Agricultural College and the

State Department of Agriculture for

the promotion of bee culture in the

Upper Peninsula. Another for $1,000

is to defray the expense of aflording

three boys from each Upper Peninsula

county a trip, this summer, through a

highly developed dairy section to learn

the best dairy methods first-hand. An-

other appropriation of $1,000 will be

used next year to pay prizes to those

associations of farmers which show

the largest elimination of scrub bulls

from their dairy herds. Of these prizes

the largest will be for $500.——-Chase.





NATIONAL POTATO MARKETING

BODY.





 





NDER the leadership of the Amer-



ican Farm Bureau, the ten main

potato-producingstates of the country

are going to organize a national po-

tato marketing association.



Mr. Walton Peteet, director of co-

operative marketing of the American

Farm Bureau, aner. Aarou Sapiro,

the farm bureau’s legal advisor, are

working on the formation of this or-

ganization. The national organization

will consist of a union of the state or-

ganizations in the producing sections.



Recently Maine organized a state as-

sociation and signed up sixty per cent

of the state’s entire production on a.

five-year basis. There is no doubt but

that the Maine association will be—

come a part of the national marketing

scheme. The Michigan Potato Grow-

ers’ Exchange will also take part in it.



The other states interested are Min~

nesota, Colorado, New York, Utah, Ida-

ho, North and South Dakotas, and Wis-

cousin.

A De Laval Milker Will Pay for ‘

will pay for itself by the time the

last installment of the payment

be101111's duc



Figurc what it will mean to do

your milking in at least one—half

the tim1 you now do it. It may

mean the saving of one or more

men; it may mean extra hours in

the field; it may 1111 (111 that only

our man necd stop for milking,

where all must help now; it may

m1 .111 that the milking can be done

by young boys or older 111111 who

ran not able to milk many cows by

De Laval just as well as any one;

it may mean that the women folks

wont have to h1 1p with th1-milk-

as many cows can be handled with

the same h1l.p Any 11111 of these

advantages alone may easily pay‘

for a De Laval in a year's time——

they have done so for many.



Consider also that the regular

and stimulating, yct soothing, ac—





tion of the De Laval Milker usually

increases milk production, and you

have another reason for owning

a De Laval. This increase varies,

of course; but many De Laval

owners state that it has increased'

their yield of milk tcn p1r cent,



and a few who have kept careful

records have said it has increased

their produc tion as high as tw1nty

per cent with the some cows and

care. The extra milk thus ob—

tained by many Dc Laval owners



has helped materially in paying for-

their milker.



Add to this the fact that it is

possible to p1odu1 1' a higher qual—

ity of milk, which often 1on1mz1nds

more money, and you have an-

other reason for owning a De

Why not join the army of satis-

N cutting alfalfa, sweet clover, soy

one man can cut, rake, and bunch-all

at the same time. Then all that is

necessary after the hay has been put

up our hay last summer: An en-

gine of sufficient weight and horsepow-

and braced against the barn. Secured

to the same framework'was a drive

'which is a drum that carries the hoist

rope. This latter shaft is fitted with

an eccentric boxing on one end, w icn

eccentric is operated by a three-foot

lever. A wire runs from this lever

through the barn to the barn floor.

This wire enables the man on the load

setting the fork to hoist the hay to the

mow without getting off the load.



The engine is started at the time

the load is driven in the barn, and left

running until the hay is off. This saves

much time by eliminating the unh‘itch-

ing and hitching of the team for each

load.——John D. McCall, Washtenaw Co.





BUNCH ES WITH RAKE.





 

 





 





NE short cut in haying with which

some of the readers may not be

familiar is bunching with a rake. The

hay is raked first in rather small wind—

rows and when the field is finished I

turn the team the other way ‘and go

down the windrows, separating them

into bunches. Afterwards, I go along

with the fork and gather up the scat-

tering hay and true up the bunches so

they will shed rain. This plan cer-

tainly saves mneh time as compared

, to hand-work.—~E. Srackangast, Wex—

Q worried and nervous. While most





'of the horses walked into the pond,





looking for deeper and clearer water,

she took a few hasty sips of the warm,

muddy stuff on the edge and then ran

up the slope to take another look.

There seemed to be nothing untoward

on the plains, but to make sure she

remained there a while and grazed.





She had not been grazing more than.





a few minutes when she was startled

by a frantic splashing in the pend. She

looked won in time to see White-black

whose forelegs had sunk into a mud—

hole, attempt to turn round. Half a

dozen of the others began to struggle

just as frantically. Some of them man-

aged to reach hard ground, but White

black and two others seemed to sin}:

deeper the harder they struggled.



At first all this violent effort to'get

out made her think that some aw«

ful danger had suddenly arisen in the

center of the pond, but the light grey

mud on the flanks of those who did

get out, apprised her of the fact that

they had struck an alkali mud-hole.

She had had her experience with al-

kali mud—holes before. They had been

in the habit of drinking at-the other

end of the slough and had come to this

end now only because the other end

was somewhat nearer to the territory

from which they had just escaped.



She hurried down to the side of

White—black and as he resumed his

struggling, she called to him anxious—

ly. Finally the three of them ceased

struggling for a while and set up a

helpless neighing to which those on

the shore responded just as helplessly.



There was little danger of drowning

for the water was very shallow, but

the fear of being caught, the fear of

the pursued creature still warm in

their hearts, kept them struggling and

their struggles tired them out and

drove them down deeper into the mud.

Queen was perplexed. It seemed as if

everything were combining for their

destruction, that even the mud joined

man in his effort to torture, them. She

called to the helpless creatures cease-

lessly, running up and down the slope

in a frenzy of fear.





SUDDENLY while she was at the

edge 01’ the pond, urging White-black

to exert himself and VVhite-black was

groaning for want of strength, the

wind shifted and brought from the

northwest a message of danger. The

ho1ses who were liee ran up the slope

to the southeast. Queen, who was this

time behind the others, suddenly stop—

ped half way up the slope and turning

back called frantically to White-black.

Sort o' pondering on the beauties of‘this world we’re livin’ in.

Of the posles God has give us just to beautify our livin’,

Hollyhocks and sweet alyssum, brier rose and jassamine.‘

Smilin' upward at a feller, seems to bid his heart rejoice.





Then my eyes a rovin’ round me, lighted on a bunch o’ clover, ,

Snuggling down there by the gateway where the medder path goes through.

' Just a noddin' so persuadin’ where the evening light Was fading.

An’ I says, “Of all the posies, Mr. Clover, i choose you ”





An’ l’m thinking here this evening, that when I am called up yonder.

Queen. .

As Queen fled she heard the one

.man whistling to the‘others. She could

not hear anyone behind her but she

did not stop tofind out whether she

was being followed or not. In the dis-

tant west she saw the shadowy blue

of a. clump of trees and she made for

that with every bit of strength left in

her. When she reached the trees she

first shot under cover, then investi-

gating to make sure that no dangerous

animal was hidden there, or that no

men were coming from any other di-

rection, she pushed her way out to a

thicket of buffalo berries, and stopped

to scan the plains she had covered.

Not a living thing stirred on the

monotonous level of the prairies. Only

heat waves danced above the narrow,

blue strips of woodland shadows. With-

in a few minutes she was convinced

that no one was coming after her and





. i

an urge to express the feeling that had

taken complete possession of her.





TOWARD evening when the light

began fading and the shadows

grew long, she trotted cautiously to

the pond where she had left,White-

black in the mud. The desire to find

him grew stronger as the evening pro-

giessed toward night and Queen went

at full speed.



The unruffled surface of the pond

was brightly reflecting the last rays

of daylight when she turned over the

rim of the hollow and stopped there

to make sure that. the men were gone.

Even those thoughtless men who hat-

ed her——they were not many—if they

had been able to see her as she slowly

came walking over the rim a step at

a time, ‘would have admired that beau-

tiful. head in the evening silhouette

cunning that had kept her out of their

A few ducks were moving about in~

the glitter. 4 Immediately upon seeing





her they rose into the air and flew .





away. Queen trotted down to the mudr,

dy edge where White-black had beeri’

trapped. /I‘he mud that was not cov-

ered with water was stippled ' with

countless hoof prints. - Here and there

on the stippled surface she saw in:

pressions of the whole side of a horSe

and she knew that the horses had fall-

en many times after coming out of the





mud hole. Some of these impressions'





still bore the scent of White- black and





Queen excitedly read the story of his ‘





Struggle with his captors. For some

time she walked round the slough,

stopping now and then to sniff or to

break the heavy silence by long and

nervous whinnies, then realizing the

futility of her going round the slough

and feeling suddenly a sense of con-

finement in the hollow, she went up

the slope and on the rim began to feed.



The ducks came back. They flew

directly over her to see just what she

was. Assured that she was neither

man nor coyote, they swept down to

the water’s surface, touching it grace-

fullylwith a melodious splash. Queen

lifted her head a trifle above the grass

and stared at them thoughtfully. The

sight of the" little black objects sailing

about in the b1ight reflection of the

sky and the occasional murmur that

came from them out of the stillness,

gladdened her. She 'felt somewhat

less alone. - ~



It was a hard night for queen. She

needed rest very badly but she was

too apprehensive and too lonely to

rest well. When the ducks late in the

night flew away, the hollow became

unbearable to her and she wandered





off over the plains searching and call-





ing and tiring herself out. - \



During the day she rested herself

some, then from one end of the wilds

to the other she rambled, searching

for her companions and finding only

fences and lifeless shacks which stood

captivity. Along the east side of her

desolated domains she followed fence

alert for the first sign of man, she

stuck to the east, because she knew

that her captured followers had all

been taken in that direction.



She came to where the fence broke

into two parts leaving an open road-

way between. She entered the road

way cautiously and walked farther and

farther, scanning the distances as she

But when she had gone half a

mile, the feeling of having fences on

to wo1ry her and she turned and raced

- N 2.31 poem :by Brewning, “Love

Among the Ruins," the writer cites

1 ‘of an etening where a great city

once stood. Where today the shep-

herds are pasturing their flocks and

where the night is coming on in still-

néss, once there, was a vast race-

, of thousands sat

breathless as the victor athletes came

in. But now, says' he, a golden-haired

country girl is waiting for her lover.

And the love of this girl, says Brown-

ing, is more enduring than the excited

crowds who drank wine and shouted,

as their favorite runner appeared,long

ago, for love lastsforever. And in the

same way, the greatest figure in the

book of Nehemiah is not the gaunt

and black ruins of the templeJ but a

man, a strong and ‘cOurageous soul,

who sets out to accomplish the impos-

sible. ’





The holy city is in ruins. It has lain





’ ' a’ mass of debris for many years, and





no man seemed.

brave enough to

, begin the rebuild-

ing, nor influen-

tial enough to per-

suade his coun-

trymen to do so.

But Nehemiah ap-

pears and the

scene changes. He

has both influence and courage. It

must have been a stirring sight when

this man, at the head of a large com-

pany of crusaders, left Babylon to re-

turn across the hot sands to Jerusa-

lem. After days of tramping and nights

of camping in the desert, they arrived.

arrived.





 





A





EHEMIAH’S first act is character-



istic of his energy. He makes a.

reconnaissance of the ruined city by

night. He wants to know just how bad

the destruction has been. But he has

reasons for not advertising the fact

that he has come to rebuild. He will

not let that be known until they are

ready to begin. Stanley in his “His-

tory of the Jewish Church,” describes

the night ride.‘ “It was in the dark—

ness of the night, that he, on his mule

or ass, accompanied by a few follow?

ers on foot, descended into the ravine

oinnnom, and threaded his way in

and out amongst.the gigantic masses

of ruin and rubbish through that mem-

orable Circuit, familiar now to every

traveler like the track of his native

village. Each point that Nehemiah

reaches is recorded by him as with

the thrill inspired by the sight of‘ ob-

jects long expected, and afterwards

long remembered—the Spring ‘of the

Dragon; the gate outside of which lay

the piles of the sweepings and off-

scourings of the streets; the masses

of fallen mansonry, extending as it

would seem, all along the northern and

western side; the blackened gaps left

where the gates had been destroyed

by fire; till at last by the royal reser—

voir the accumulations became so imJ

passable that the animal on which he

rode refused to proceed. Then he turn-

ed. in the dead of night, along the deep

shade of the Kedron watercourse,

looking up as the eastern wall, less

ruinous than the rest, and so back

once more by the gate that opened on

the ravine of Hinnom. And now hav-

‘ing possessed himself with the full

idea of the desolation he revealed to

his countrymen the whole of his plan,

and portioned out ‘the work amongst

them.” ' .

said the Ammonites and Arabs, “We

don’t want the city rebuilt. Anything

but that. Ruins look good to us. We

must lie awake nights to keep these

Jews from succeeding.” The contest

at last came to the point‘where it was

necessary to arm Nehemiah’s work-l

men. Spears were portioned out along

with trowels and shovels. For weeks

the master himself never took pff his

clothes. When his enemies attempted

to get him to leave his work and go

several miles away for a “friendly

conference,” he returned the memor-

ablc/ answer, “I am doing a great work,

so that .1 cannot come down.”





 





HE core of Nehemiah’s success



was, that he felt that God was

with him, or, that he was simply car-

rying out God’s work under His im-

mediate direction.

viction it is no wonder that he suc-

ceeded. Men who thus labor do

achieve great successes. I once visit-





ed a sanitariuni which had been built





up very largely through prayer. The

head doctor believed that he had been

called to erect an institution of that

kind, and he succeeded. In a book I

referred to last week, “The Wonders

of Missions.” there is a brief sketch——

too brie!‘~—of Doctor Scudder who went

as a missiOnary to India a hundred

years ago. Scudder was a great soul,

with a passion for humanity. His de-

sire was, and the desire of his wife,

dia, dedicated for the same work.

Time changes, fashions come and go,

but faith in God remains as the only

true index to what is permanent and

enduring. “The grass withereth, the

flower fadeth, but the word of our God

shall stand forever.”



Naturally there was rejoicing when

the wall was completed. The people

felt safe. Sanballat and the other dis-

turbers of the peace were on the out-

side. There was a solemn service of

dedication of the walls.





sionaries.





ACK of all this work was the deep



religious note. Nehemiah’s labor

was a labor of love. He believed with

the full intensity of his noble soul that

God had called him to this piece of

work; that the very honor of God was

at stake, until the holy city once more

stood forth to the world, purified of

her desecration. It has been said that

the greatest of Christian virtues is

loyalty. An eastern professOr w-rote a

book on loyalty some year ago,_as the

queen of moral qualities. It is a good

question to ask—to what am I loyal?

To whatlam I faithful, day in and day

out? For what would I spend and be

spent, without hope of gain? Am I un—

selfishly active in anything? The

church? Say what you will, the church

will respond to self-forgetful activity.

The youth of my community? It is an

inviting field. Some community organ-

ization, like the grange? Many will

testify ‘it is worth while. Remember

this, the most abiding loyalties are re-

ligious at root.

hood have various fads that



change and vary as much as the

new styles and fashions? They do in

our section; and a fad that is very

popular with them here at present is

.the enameled drop-leaf dining-tables.

And it is not only brides who are in-

dulging in this fad, either. Many wom-

en who onlyhave small families are

investing a few cents and a little time

in these attractive accessories.



All of the second-hand stores of. our

town have been ransacked in search

of the old- fashioned dining-room ta-

bles with drop—leaves at the side, and

for kitchen chairs of attractive design.

These are selected in as quaint a pat-

tern as possible, and are of soft

wood that has been painted, instead of

varnished.



Both the table and chairs are well

rubbed with sandpaper, until every

The June Bride’ 3 Kltchen Fad





O the brides of your, neighbor--





The very beauty and attractiveness

of such a. set as the One I have“ de-

scribed would be reason enough for

any bride to choose. it for the main

part of her dining—room furniture; but-

the small cost is an added virtue, and

has‘an added appeal to most brides

who prefer to start their married life,

living in a frugal way, that it may be

easier for the couple to “get a sta1t.”

One scant cup sugar

One cup sweet milk ‘

' CANNING FRUIT JUICES.





,Would you please tell me how to

can strawberry juice?——Mrs. L. W.



The juice may be pressed from the

cooked or uncooked fruit by means of

a special fruit press or an improvised

one. It is then warmed and poured

into thoroughly sterilized jars or bot-





tles. Sugar_to "suit the taste may be

added according to what the juice is

to be used for. Place the jars or bot-

tles in hot water bath with water com-

ing within two inches of the top of‘ the

jars and process for thirty minutes at

simmering point. If fruit juices are

processed too rapidly, some of the fla-

vor is lost. Remove from the bath and,

seal. If you use bottles, they should

be corked and dipped into paraffin or

sealing wax twice when cool. A good

wax is made by melting together equal

quarts of roSin and beeswax. Fruit

juices are excellent for pudding, jela-

tin desserts, sauces and ice ‘cream.





LEARN THE KITCHEN MEASURING





TABLE.

Sometimes measurements in the

recipes are given in drams, ounces





and spoonfuls. Can you tell me how

these con1pare?—Virs. S. O.





The measurements in the kitchen

for cooking are based on the standard

cup and are as follows: '



Three teaspoont'uls—one tablespoon-

l”ul~~—four drams.

—two fluid ounces.





Half cupl‘ul—one gill—four fluid

ounces.

one pint.





Sixteen fluid ounces——one pint.

Four cupl‘uls——one quart.

All of these measurements are level.

A NEW REMEDY FOR DIABETES.

TARTLING .medica-l discoveries

S that have to do with giving relief

to fatal diseases 'are constantly be-

ing proclaimed and almost as constant-

ly exploded. It is a serious thing to

give poor sufferers a hope that is

scarcely grasped before it is found to

be false. That is one of the reasons

why I have been rather slowabout

telling you of the new remedy for

diabetes. But the longer I watch it

the more firmly I am convinced that

a real remedy has been discovered.

Please bear in mind that while it is a

remedy, and one of great importance,

it is not a cure. The patient to whom

this remedy is applied may improve

vastly in health, but will still be under

the necessity of a diet.

The discovery was made in 1921 by

a Canadian physician,‘Dr. F. G. Bant-

ing. Working in connection with some

professors of the University’of Tor-

onto, Dr. Banting has managed to pro-





duce from the pancreastof animals a'





preparation that is decidedly effective

in reducing the sugar content of'the

blood of diabetic ,patients. This prep-

aration is known as Insulin or Iletin.

The discoverywas patented by the re-

search workers, for the. sole purpose

of making sure that it is used only by

.those competent to control it; improp-

erly used it is capable of doing harm.



Iletin is not a cure fordiabetes, yet





~~.it"is a great remedy for the evil effects-

and in a short time was so far relieved

that it,became possible to work out

for him a diet on which he could exist

without danger of a relapse.



The new remedy is not without its

dangers. It is possible to give such

dosage as to produce convulsions. ‘But

administered by a skilled physician it

is a great agent in the treatment. I



The diabetic person who is living

comfortably and getting along well on

a diet that he can assimilate, is not

likely to get any help from the new

remedy, for its action is to control the

poisons that accumulate in the body

as a result of pancreatic deficiency

rather than to cure the disease. ~But

to the patient who is doing badly; the

young diabetic who is galloping down

hill; the surgical patient who demands

very special diabetic care while going

through an operation; or the patient

who is upset by some secondary dis-

ease, such as influenza, -coming on top

of his chronic diabetes; to such pa-

tients it is a life-saving discovery.



The supply of the new remedy is

limited so far, but in every state there

are some physicians who have been

granted a supply and the right to

use it. ‘

Immediately following a selection

by the Boy Scout Bugle Band, the first

stunt was the vis—a—vis circle game,

which was directed by Mr. Ray Tur-

ner, State Club Leader It was a get-

acquainted affair which produced a lot

of fun. Right after that came the

honest-to—goodness University of Mich-

gan Band with a drum major and eve-

rtyhing. It favored the crowd with

about a half-dozen peppy pieces.





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have tried to be a winner of a con-

test but I have not succeeded yet. But

I.will do my best to try many more

times. I do nOt get discouraged. Did

it rain down there the other night? It

did here. We have got twenty-six little

chicks, and four more hens setting.

I have a picture—book made and I am”

going to put your picture in it. I am

going to put the picture of your waste

basket in it, too.





Well, hoping I may win, I still re-

main your niece, Nora Batchelder,

Bitely, Mich. . ‘



You have the right try-again spirit.

Perhaps it would be best if you didn’t

put my picture next to that of the

waste basket because it might be hard

for you to tell which is which.





' Then the young folks sat in circle

formation in the shade and listened to

an address of welcome by one of the

leading attorneys of Ann Arbor. He

commented upon the fact that the mer-

chants of Ann Arbor decorated their

stores with bunting in honor of the

occasion, thereby indicating what they

thought of the importance of the boys’

and girls’ club work.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





I think it my duty as a member of

the Merry Circle, to write and pass my

opinion on the mottoes. I believe “Step

up the stairs, don’t stare up the steps,”

is the best. These are some of my

reasons: We should work for success,

not just think about‘it.

sit around and think of great. things.

You must get busy. ,





I liked most of the mottoes,’ 'especia

ly, “It’s the sungs you sing and the

smiles you ‘ ,wear that 'makes the

sun shine everywhere.” How ' very.

true that'is. The one that said, “Mind -

your own business." Was

a vcookyr a'boy‘ sent that'i

truth inth’atmotto,’ ha:





The next thing on the program was

the giving of stunts by the various

hot-lunch, handicraft and sewing clubs.

These stunts, consisting mostly of

songs and peppy yells were judged and

the winners announced later on.





Then Mr. Evan Essery, county school

commissioner, gave a_little talk and

presented the cup which was won by



_*Washtenaw

county at, the State Fair. last year.

Next came (Mr. 'Ray,‘ Turnerfifwh‘o

brought greetings“ from other counties.

. where,” came next," and ,“Step up the





 





 





 





stairsfdon’t stare up the steps," was

close behind it.



“The songs you sing” is now the

motto of another club, ,so we cannot

use it. “Step up the stairs” has good

meaning and is catchy.



“Work to Win” is short and inspires

ambition. The only objection I have

to it is that it indicates serious work.

Ours being a Merry Circle, we ought

to have something which indicates the

spreading of happiness as well as ser-

ious accomplishment. It seems to me

that “Brighten the corner Where you

are” fills these requirements as well

as any. Sometimes we can brighten





_ our corners by serious work; at other





times by the spreading of happiness

and laughter.



As the 'vote so far is for “Work. to

Win," we will use that for our motto

unless my fellow Merry Circlers write

that they want it changed.



If you have any comments to make

regarding these mot-toes, write them





_ so I can get them by June 16 as I want





to make final announcement of our

permanent Merry Circle motto in our

June 30 issue.

firsts inthat market. This ,is in spite





' ‘ of the fact that Pacific Coast eggs are

' from sixteen to eighteen days old when





they reach eastern consumers. Be-





infertile eggs





tain, the trade is willing to pay that

premium. '





The cooperative associations of Cali-

fornia, Oregon and Washington have

recently organized the Pacific Egg Pro-

ducers’ AssOciation, with an office in

New York City. Each state retains





- the selling of eggs within its state, but





all are pooling their outside shipments

and selling them through the one of-

fice. They expect to abolish the com.

petitive selling of one cooperative

againsit. another and stabilize the price

still further.



Mr. Sapiro assured his hearers that

the cooperative marketing of eggs

would not raise the price to the ulti-

mate consumer although it doubled or

trebled the profits to the producer."

That the intelligent merchandising of





'eggs ought practically to guarantee a





yearly basic price five to ten cents be-

low the present consumer’s cost” was

Mr. Sapiro’s opinion.



How Denmark, which has the oldest

cooperative marketing associations,

has met the problem of marketing eggs

was discussed by Mr. C. L. Christian-



‘sen, of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco-

nomics, ‘Washington, who has been

studying cooperative marketing in

Denmark for the last two years. Twen-

ty per cent of the egg producers in

that country are members of the mar-‘

keting organization. They sign a con-

tract with local organizations, agree-

ing todeliver all their eggs to the or-

ganization for a period of years and

the locals have like contracts with the

national organization which markets



- the deliveries. Most of the flocks have

only seventy-five to one hundred and

fifty hens and the bulk of egg produc-

tion comes from these small owners.

During the last forty year-s Denmark

has increased its egg exports eighteen

times, until now it furnishes forty-five

per cent of the total egg imports of,

.the British Isles.



Thatthe problems _of the middle-

west egg producers are different from

those of the Pacific Coast men, or even

of the Danish farmers, was stressed

by several speakers. In the middle-

west where small flocks are found on

every farm, there are few commercial

flocks, there is no standard breed, eggs

are collected and brought into the

town once a week. That these prob-

lems can be met has been demonstrat-

ed by the cooperative associations of





, Missouri and some of the other states.





In Missouri the Farmers’ Associa-



_ tion has beenmarketing eggs cooper-

atively for five years, according to H.



A. Cowden, of that organization. Their



farmers are not on contract but be—



cause of the. better prices the associa-



tion is able _to obtain, it has experienc-



ed little difficulty in getting eggs to



Sell. Educational campaigns on the



commercial advantages of standardiz-



ed blocks have been made possible by



state appropriations and- have aided



the movement considerably. There are

"and last year two thousand carloads

with offices in New York City handles

the merchandising of the eggs, which'

are sold to both Wholesalers and re-

Laid. A selling cost of two cents per

dozen is paid by the members.





With so many summer resorts and

special hotel trade available to the?

farmers in Atlantic Coast states, it

often happens that they can get better

prices for their eggs by selling them

themselves locally than by selling

through the pool. They are allowed to

do this if they continue to pay their

share of the overhead, the two cents

per dazen. This open pool method has

kept the members satisfied as prob-

ably —no other method would have

done.





Recommendations that a general

committee be selected to work out a

plan for the marketing of eggs which

would take into consideration the spe-





 





 





cial needs of any particular state orl -





section; which would provide for the

local organization among owners of

hens, with state federation of these:

approved by the conference. State or!

ganization committees are to be se-

lected under whose direction cam-j

paigns to secure the support of the?

farmers and their families for this:

movement, will be conducted. It was?

recommended that inasmuch as the.

marketing of eggs has heretofore been

left, in a majority of cases, to the con-

trol of the women members of the,

farm. families, that the women be giv-

en a dominant part in these initial

campaigns.





 





 





FEEDING FOR SUMMER EGGS.‘





Will you please furnish information

on the. proper food for hens, to keep

them in good laying condition during

the summer and fall months? Hens

have lots of range—R. M. P.



In a general way hens need about as

much care for heavy egg production in

the summer as in the winter. During

a hot summer the worms go deep and

often the grass becomes touch and

dry. Excessive heat on the range and

in the laying-house is often as detri-

mental to heavy laying as the severe

cold of winter. A good dry mash can

be made of equal parts of bran, mid-

dlings, corn meal, ground oats and beef

scrap. Two parts wheat to one part

corn makes a good summer scratch

feed ration.





If you have plenty of sour milk the

proportion, of beef scrap in the mash

can be reduced one-half. Provide plen-

ty of fresh water and place the foun~

ta'in in a shady place. If green feed is

'lacking on the range it often pays to

have a row of Swiss Chard, and occa-

sionally cut a few bushels of succulent

leaves for the hens. Grit, charcoal

and oyster shells are also necessary in

keeping the'hens healthy. In' the fall

the hard grain ration can be changed

to equal parts of wheat and corn.

FORAGE FOR HOGS.





HE time was when I felt that the



hogs only needed grains to sustain

them and keep them healthy and grow—

ing. I have changed my mind on this

point. I now thoroughly believe that

the farmer who does not provide for-

age for his hogs is not following safe

methods.



Forage in the hog ration builds up

healthy, vigorous pigs with strong

bone and possessed with the right

kind of feeding qualities, It also helps

out on the problem of sanitation. The

unhealthy pens with all their mire

and stench can. to a large degree, be

avoided if the farmer provides forage'

for the animals and gives them the

freedom of the open field.



If in connection with a forage crop

of alfalfa, rape, clover, Canada peas,

or other variety, the farmer provides

a self—feeder for the feeding of the

Paralysis—Buttermilk for Pigs.——I

purchased a. brood sow in mid-winter.

She had been: kept in a small pen, and

I kept her shut up until snow was

gone, then turned her out, but after

walking about twenty rods, ~she drop-

ped down and was unable to get'up.

I hauled her in on- boat, she eats well,

but is still down and cannot get .up or

stand. She is in good flesh. I can

buy buttermilk for four cents a gallon,

delivered, or.for one cent a gallon at

creamery. Will it pay me to feed it

to pigs? F. F., Missaukee Co., Mich.

ered sow less corn, more oats; oil

meal, tankage, clover, alfalfa, or roots,

also give her equal parts of ground

limestone rock and salt in each feed,

or allow her to help herself. Why

don’t you sell her to butcher? Butter-

milk at price you mention is an eco-

nomical food for pigs and chickens,

and when mixed with other feed they

thrive on it.



Sore Eye—One of my two-week-old

pigs has. sore eye; the lid is inflamed

and very red color. P. 0., Shepherd,

Mich—Dissolve a teaspoonful of boric

acid in a quarter pint of clean water

and apply to sore parts three times a





day.



Sniffles.——About two mouths ago I

heard my two-yearold sow making

some noise while breathing; soon she

discharged mucus from both nostrils

and this noise has gradually increased.

She is suckling nine pigs, eats well

and looks good. I want to breed her

for fall pigs. W. R. R., Pierson, Mich.

——Give her teaspoonful of bicarbonate

of. soda in feed or in drinking water

three times a day. Keep pen disin-

fected and free from dust.

Garget.——-I have a cow that has gar-

get; her milk is bad; she is giving

about one quart now, will not be fresh

until September. C. E., Ann Arbor,

Mich—Dry her. Her milk is unfit for

use.

Barrenness.—We have. two heifers

that fail to get with calf; they come

in heat every three weeks, but if bred

skip one service and come in heat at

end of sixth week. The one' which

had calf has some vaginal discharge.

R. H., Alma, Mich—Flush three-year—

old with one part lysol, 100 parts wa-

ter daily, and when discharge ceases

breed her. At this season of the year

and after cows have been in pasture

for a few weeks t ey are more likely

H H., Hersey, Mich.-—Have your

White Scours—Infected Premises.—

For three years I have had much trou-

ble in raising my calves. They con-

tract what appears to be white scours,

usually when a few days old, and sel-

dom after they are three or four weeks

old. This starts with the excretia,

turning gradually white and becoming

very loose. The calf becomes very

emaciated and sometimes dies within

thirty-six hours, while one occasional-

ly survives the attack but seldom be-

comes real thrifty again. Have had

best success by feeding raw eggs in

small quantity of new milk. What can

I do to prevent the disease, also treat-

ment for same? Does germ live in the

barn? R. C. K., Allegan, Mich.———Many

cases of scours in calves can be trac-

ed to errors in feeding, or filthy cont

ditions of the pen the animals are

kept in; but the infectious white

Feed markets generally are dull and

inactive With only occasional inquiries

for immediate delivery. Mills are still

offering bran freely for future ship-

dlings are selling at a larger premium

over bran than before the pasture sea-

son opened. .- ’



HAY



The demand for hay is quite limited

as a result of good pastures. Rec-eipts

are increasing as producers are clean-

HILE practically every man,

woman and child in the

g English-speakingworld knows

Grape-Nuts as a delicious,nourishing and

wholesome cereal, and while it is common

knowledge that Grape-Nuts with milk or

cream is a complete food, many house-

wives do not know of the appetizing and

economical dishes that can be prepared

with Grape-Nuts. It lends itself, we

believe, to more uses than any other

cereal. The convenience and economy of

Grape-N uts,and the flavor, zest and whole-

someness which it imparts to other food,

make it invaluable in every home.

Frequently we receive interesting let-

ters from women throughout the country,

telling about the attractive dishes they

make with Grape-Nuts—delicious pud-

dings, salads, dressings for fowls, etc. No





3 Grape~Nuts is a highly nutritious food in the

:7: , form of crisp, golden granules. It contains the

-'.L~ full nutriment of wheat and barley. including vita-

min-B and mineral elements required for building

, a.“ sturdy health. These elements are often lacking

‘ in the ordinary diet, chiefly through “over—refine-

ment” in the preparation of food.

No other food is so thoroughly baked as Grape-

- , Nuts. More than 20 hours are consumed in the

if, baking process which makes Grape-Nuts easy to

#4,». ' digest, and also develops a natural sweetness

' from the grains themselves. .

The form and crispness of Grape-Nuts invite

‘ thorough mastication—a decided advantage be-

cause this not only provides exercise for the teeth,

but makes for good digestion.
