CURRENT COMMENT





 





We have had a recent demonstra-

nourished with agricultural prosper-

way.

of the future. it

is a definite reality

this very hour, and

because of the shortage, the great

mass of the American people are al-

ready paying tribute to our lack of

foresight; hence, our present interest

in forestry development.





At its last session congress approp-

riated fifty thousand dollars for two

forestry experiment stations. One of

these is to be located in the New Eng—

land states and the. other in the lake

states. Each of t119se stations is to

receive one-half of the above appropri~



. ation, or twenty-five thousand dollars.



We are particularly interested in the

station to be lOcated in the lake

states. A provision in the act gives

Secretary Wallace, of the Department

of Agriculture, authority to decidc'

Where this station is to be established.



An effort is being made to show that

Michigan is the logical place in which

to locate headquarters for this very

commendable line of experimental

work. Two other states, Wiscousin

and Minnesota, are bidding for the

project. ,



“Of the three, Michigan has had the

most aggressive forestry policy. She

has a larger area on which forestry

service is urgently needed. The list



' ofsoils and conditions to be met are

“equal to or greater in variety here

than in the other two states. Her

splendid forest nurseries, her labor-

atory equipment at the Agricultural

College, and the personnel of her pres-

ent forestry staff, all are real factors

which make it appear most logical that

.this work should be located in Michi-

gan in connection with our M. A. C. ‘

This is simply another indication of

the progressiveness of Michigan Hoi-

N event took place





in Washington



Th? last week which‘has

American peculiar significance

Home to the American peo-





ple. This was the ded-

ication of a model American home

patterned after a cottage on Long

Island, the home of John Howard

Payne. This particular home was the

source of an inspiration which result-

ed in that immortal song, “Home,

Sweet Home!”





President Harding in his address

dedicating the model home said, “The

home is, at last, not merely the center

but truly .the aim, the object, and the

purpose of all human organization.

We do not seek to improve society in

order that for better homes we may

.‘fThe home. is the apex and the aim,

the end rather than the means of our

whole social system. So far as this

world knows or can vision, there is ,no

attainment more desirable than the

happy and contented home.”





If we seek to go farther! in our

analysis, we are certain to conclude

that the rock foundation of good homes

is the individuals of which the family

is composed. In order to realize, there-

fore, better home relations we should

seek to bewhat we would have oth-

ers to become. We have nothing real-

ly worth while to give to others but

our own selves. This means simply

that to contribute most to home build-

in agriculture, as in other lines of en-

terprise, it farming is to continue as-a

prosperous business. Agriculture can

not be permanent unless income is suf-

ficient to cover all costs.



It is very difficult to determine unit

costs—that is, the cost of a bushel 0t

wheat or beans, or 100 pdunds of milk,

beef or pork, or a ton of hay—-because

the farm is a'complex unit producing

a great number of products.



There are many of the farmer’s

costs which are joint costs. For ex-

ample,- the costs incurred in the pro-

duction of sheep and wool cannot be

separated and apportioned accurately

to the wool and the mutton. The best

that can be done in arriving at these

costs is to make an estimate. To a

certain extent, the costs of almost all

the things farmers have to sell are

very difficult to determine.



'Agricultural costs are, also, diflicult

It is very difli-

cult" to determine just what this costs.

Feed for animals is grown upon the

farm. Live stock is raised on the

farm and fed on the 'farm pasturage,

and grain from the fields. The nature

of such a cost accounting problem is

decidedly different from that of an

enterprise which buys everything it

uses. -



A portion of the return from the

farm is in the form of food produced

and Shelter. It is as difficult for the

farmer to determine his real income

as it is for him to determine his true

costs.



It is impOssible, because of the very

nature of agriculture, to determine unit

costs of production on the average

general farm. Under such conditions

it is quite useless for the farmer to

state that he must have a certain price

for a certain lot of produce because it





o .Wc Cultivate Too





\





' F you ask a farmer why he culti—

vates corn there is nohesitation

[about his answer. Cultivate? Well,



he cultivates to remove the weeds and



to conserve moisture. To him the

question is absurd. He has always cul-

tivated his corn, as did his father and

grandfather before him.



,The idea‘ that his cr0p might get

along just as well with somewhat less

cultivation is preposterous and he de-

mands an explanation. But the idea

is not really absurd and it is just the

question we are going to raise in this

article.



To care for forty acres of corn is

.considered about all one man can do

even in the corn belt. To produce an

acre of corn’requires about twenty-

four hours of man labor and forty-two





hours of horse labor, according to the





Missouri Experiment Station, which





has made a careful study of the time.

Wheat, on the other hand, requires

only twelve hours of man labor and

twenty-one and a half hours of horse

labor per acre, while an acre of oats

Approximately one—third of the labor

required to produce a crop of corn is

expended in cultivating, according to

the Missouri data. 11' this item could

be reduced the cost of gro‘wing corn

could be materially reduced.



ls Corn Benefited by Cultivation?



The benefits arising from the culti-

vation of corn have been the subject

of much discussion and a considerable

amount of experimentation. The re-

sults of 125 experiments distributed

over twenty-eight states were reported

by the United States Department of

Agriculture in 1912, and this publica~

tion probably first called general at-

tention to the‘ problem.



These tests were necessarily con-

ducted under a great variety of soil





and climatic conditions for the states.

When corn was kept free of Weeds

by scraping with a hoe without stir-

ring the surface soil or in any way

producing a mulch, the yield was prac-

tically the same as on land cultivated

several times during the growing sea—

son. In summing up the results of the

experiments the writers say in part:

“"hat cultivation is not beneficial to

the corn plant except in so far as re-

moving weeds is concerned.”



Results of Experiments Questioned.



The findings reported in the govern-

ment.bulletin referred to abOVe, are

quite contrary to the opiniOn of the

majority of farmers and many experi-

ment station workers. Much confi-

dence in the benefits ol.‘ cultivation are

usually expressed by farmers. Increas-

ed aeration, promotion ot’ growth of

desirable bacteria, and the conserva-

tion of moisture are some of the ben-

eficial results claimed to arise from

stirring thetsoil. So firm is the belief

that cultivation conserves moisture by

creating mulch, thus preventing capil-

cost him this amount to produce it.

He does not know what'these costs

are.



The farmer operating a. general“.-

farm can not determine his true cost

of production for any single product.

About all he can accomplish is to de-

termine his total out—of-pocket costs,

interest on invested capital, and make

an estimate of the value of his labor,

and the depreciatiOn on his equipment.

These costs must be pro—rated to the

different products produced. This will

result: in only a very rough approxima-

tion of true costs per unit and are not

definite enough to be used as a base

for price, even if it were feasible to

do so. The nature of. agriculture is

such that a. return sufficient to cover,

the farm as a whole instead of for

each product each season, is the only

thing to be hoped for.

’How "They Would A Help

’ 'By #23 Handy M472 '





TO make the best use of our space

this. week I am going to bring to

you in this little story some of the

various important suggestions on ways

to help mother which were given in

the many letters received from our

wide-awake readers.

These readers wish to make home

a place where mether enjoys her work.

Neat premises, with shrubbery cover-

ing up unsightly rubbish heaps, walks





home, the kitchen, certain things can

be had which,'according to-these as-

sistants of mother, will lend material

aid. The first of these is to have the





mate extra walking. Then ample cup?

board room, with glass doors, an oil

stove, a roller table, an ice box, a

sink with drain boards at the right

height to niake work easy, a cabinet,





properly located windows, and a fuel

box. '





 





hard and soft running water, gas or

electric lights, power washer and

wringer, water heater, drains, bath

tub, indoor closet, dumb waiter to the

basement, furnace, at good, well-light-

ed basement With plenty of storage

'room for fuel, fruit and vegetables,

self-heating flatiron, sewing machine,

good floor coverings, including rugs.



Again, they would see to it that a

little kitchenlgarden is located near

thehouse, that'plenty of perennials as

well as annual vegetables and fruits

are provided, that mother has the co-”

operation of the hands of everyone in

the family to do the numerous tasks

of dishwashing, dusting, caring for the

dependent children, looking after "the

chickens, etc. A



Finally, there is fair unanimity of

opinion among these helpers, that

mother should have at least a few

days of recreation. There should be

a little -time each day for family play,

picnics, reunions, and a few days

spent camping on the shores of some

stream or lake, an auto or train trip

to get the mind off the daily home

duties, and to-renew interest in life

in general.



Mothers, do you not think the fath-

ers and boys and girls have given a.

very fine list of suggestions? The

prizes for the week go to G. M. Stan-

,ek, of‘East Jordan; A. L. Bush, of

Caro; L. Davies, of Vassar; E. Parcel],

Marlette, and John DeCou, of Fenton.

NITROGEN FOR APPLE TREES.





 





IFT-EEN York Imperial apple trees



in an orchard at McBaine, Missouri

received three pounds of sulphate of

ammonia apiece on March 19, the re-

sult being a yield of 25.1 bushels per

tree as against 19.7 bushels per tree

for fifteen trees without fertilization.

This was a gain of 5.4 bushels per

tree. One of the fertilized trees bore

so heavily .that it was split to the

ground with the weight of the fruit.

Practically the same yields we1e 'ob-

tained from nitrate and dried blood in

equivalent quantities.



Several tests of this type are de-

scribed by Dr. H. D. Hooker, Jr., in

Missouri Experiment Station Research

being that the spring application of

nitrogenous fertilizer to healthy apple

trees in bearing increases the set of

CONTROL OF TOMATO SLIGHT.





 





Please print a spray formula for

blight on tomatoes—G. H.





Leaf—spot or blight on tomatoes can

be controlled by spraying the plants

before and after setting in the field

with Bordeaux mixture. For spraying

young plants in the seed-beds or box-

es, a weak Bordeaux mixture, as the

2-2-50 formula, may be used toavoid

injury to the tender foliage. After the

plants are well started in the field or

garden, spray about every ten days,

using the 4—4-50 strength Bordeaux

mixture. The number of applications

'Which are necessary will depend upon

the severity of the attack and seasonal

conditions. In damp weather the dis-

ease may spread very rapidly but in

dry seasons it spreads very slowly and

may do very little damage. Three or

four sprayings in the field are often





suflicient to keep the- disease well uny





der control.—R. E. ILoree.

Lead makes its mark





 





on every printed page





EPRIVE the printer of lead,

and his presses would be

costly, useless junk. Not a news-

paper, not a book, not a magazine

would appear until some substitute

could be found. And it might take

some time to discover such a sub-

stitute.





Making modem type





Type-casting maChincs used in

printing shops everywhere have

done more to expand the printing

industry than any other invention.

And lead is directly responsible for

the type these machines produce.

In them. a molten alloy, mostly

lead, is forced against matrices, or

type molds, to form the printing

type, or slug.





Large editions are not printed

directly from the type face, but

from plates cast from the type.

Magazines and books are usually

printed from electrotypes, nCWS-

papers from stereotypes. Stereo-

types are made from lead alloys,

and electrotypes are thin shells of

copper filled or backed with lead.





Lead in paper making





Lead even has a part in manufac-

turing the printing paper from

wood pulp. The cut-up wood is acted

upon, or digested, by a solution

containing sulphurous acid. The

steel tanks and boilers, in which the

wood and solution are placed, are

lined with a special brick, set in a

cement made partly of lithargc, an

oxide of lead. Ordinary mortar or

cement would be attacked by the

acid.





Lead is even used in yellow and





green printing inks, and in making '





the collapsible tubes which contain

the ink. . .





81.;





Where you know lead best





Despite the importance, however,

of lead in the printing industry, the

use of lead you are most familiar

with is as paint. White-lead paint

is known and used the world over

to protect property from the rav-

ages of weather.





Never has this idea, “Save the

surface and you save all,” been so

firmly established as now. As a re-

sult many more property owners

are saving the surfaces of their

houses by painting them with

white-lead paint. It is the best, the

safest, and the most economical

way to preserve wood and similar

materials from decay and destruc-

tion.

TH E RIGHT-OF-WAY.





 





Please tell me the law regarding the

right—of—way on public highways.—



Replying to the inquiry concerning

the right-of—way -of motor vehicles

meeting at an intersection of two high-

ways, you are advised that Section 18,

of Act, No. 302 of the Public Acts of





Law, reads in part as follows:



“Any person so operating any motor

vehicle shall at the intersection of a

public highway, keep to the right of

the intersection of the center of such

highway when turning to the right,

and pass to the right of such intersec-

tion when turning to the left. When

vehicles approach an intersection of

two or more public highways, the ve-

hicle approaching from the right of

the driver shall have the right-of-way.”

Analyzing the above quotation from

the statute it appears to be Clearly the

intent of the legislature that the rules

of the road would apply as well at a

three-corner road as where there is a.

complete intersection of two lines of

road and applying this rule it is the

opinion of the writer that a car trav-

eling from west to east on a through

road would have the right-of-way at

the intersection over a car approach-

ing from the north on a road that ends

at the intersection of the east and

west road—H. H. Partlow.

therefore, be impossible for liquid to

The juices in silage are slightly acid

enough juice so that any quantity of

liquid would get into the jug if it was

not corked. In case the corn was put

In case the silo pit was not well

Starting Ninth Season





Total Asses'ts on May 25th of

Over $300,000





The Citizens’ Mutual Automobile Insur-

.ance Company, Of Howell, is continuing its

remarkable record. he company is now

starting its ninth season and has met all

of its claims promptly. having paid over

12,600 It is a Michigan company and , '

has carried insurance for such men as. ex- ‘

Governor Rich. the late Governor Warner, {

GXAGOVEII’IO!‘ Sleeper, and many of the lead-

ing bankers, ‘Iawyers, county officers,

business men and farmers. ‘It has saved

its policy holders, in comparison with

stdck_ratcs, many, million dollars since its

organization.



Mutual insurance has proven a success

in America. The first American fire insur- i

ance company was a mutual compan or-

ganized by Benjamin Franklin in Phi adel-

plus in‘1752. It has been continuous in

operation and highly successful and now

has net assets 0 more than six million

dollars. Professor .John A. Gilmore of

Virginia, after careful ‘study, "announces

that there were about 1550 stock fire in-

surance companies started business in the

United States and 1300, or 84% have

either failed, retired or rcinsured. He an-

nounces further that there has been about

2900 mutual fire insurance companies or-

ganized and 700 of these have failed, re-

tired or reinsured, leaving about 2200 still

in existence and doing business today.

84% of the stock companies have failed

or retired and only 24% of the mutuals,

a splendid showing for the mutuals. An -

authority on insurance has\said that no 1

mutual company that accumulated gross

assets of $2 or a cash surplus of

$100,000 has ever failed in the history of

the country.

years have developed them. .Lik-ewise

these herds and their owners and care-

takers should be highly commended

for their successful effort.



It is an interesting fact that'herds

in which the cows have made an aver’

age of a pound or better of fat 3. day

for 300 days in the year, return their

owner for each dollars worth of food

consumed, from $2.50 to $2.75. Some

herds show a return of $3.00.

Individual. high cows may make ex—

cellent returns above feed cost, but

the best results and greatest profits

come when all cows in the herd are

making efficient high average produc—

tion. ‘ ‘



In the words of a student of dairy-

ing: “As the production of a cow is

doubled—profits increase three times;

as production is trebled, profits in-

crease six times."





_ TAKEN IN KOREA.





HIS picture was taken in Korea.

There they have dual—purpose cat-

tle, but as compared to the American

or European dairy cow, these animals





 





ofthe Orient lack much. However, in

America there are hundreds of thou-

sands of cows that might be more

profitable to their owners as burden-

bearers than as milk producers.





SPOTTING THE GOOD ONES IN

OCEANA COUNTY.





HE Oceana Cow-testing Associa-

tion, L. D. Leisenring, tester, com-

pleted its year’s work with 220 cows

averaging 6,257 pounds of milk and

303.7 pounds of fat. The average re-

turns above the cost of feed were 71.91

and the cost per pound of butter-fat

was twenty-four cents.



The high cow in the Oceans. Asso-

ciation was Jenny Lou of Mulberry, a

seven-year-old pure-bred Jersey owned

. by Mr. F. C. Sherman, of Hart, Michi-

gan. This cow made 11,2306 pounds

of milk and 610.6 pounds of butter-fat.

DEAR PETE: '





I plum forgot in” my last letter to

tell you about them plans an am sorry

for that for I want you to be lookin’

up‘some things before you come home.

Now with examinations coming on

maybe you won’t have time.





You see by the top of my letter that

I have added something to it. Well

there was a chap up here from your

school and gave a talk on Community

betterment. He talked a lot about the

word Community. Said it was better

than the word Neighborhood. Com-

munity he said meant that it was an

organized group, thinking alike, work-

ing together for the benefit of every-

body.



He Said we ought to have a motto,

and suggested one, “Each for all, all

for each.” That suits .me pretty well

an I guess maybe we will adopt it if

you don’t suggest a bette‘ one. Seems

to me that’s good religidln.



He said a Neighborhood was just a

group of people who didn’t know

where they were going and didn’t Care.

Well, he said we ought to name our

farms and have them recorded. So

we named ours after those two elms

in the front yard. And over the gate

that leads into the'drive we have the

name painted in neat letters with the

name “Henry O’Hope, Proprietor.”

Then we put a blackboard at'the right

side of the gate where the mailbox is

where we put our notices of things

for sale.



Funny but the first week Vera sold



$25. worth of stuff that would have



gone to waste. Rheubarb, Asparagus



an you know we have a lot, Parsnips,



Dandelion greens an I had an old



mower that was standing out in the



back lot an 1 advertised that for sale



an a fellow from way down the crick



came over an gave me $8. for it. Say



Pete that made me feel good an I



needed that $8. bad.



Well about them two elms. We tripl-



med them up so the lower branches



didn’t hide the View from the house



and I cut out some of those trees on



the other side of the road that opened



up the prettiest vista down the valley



to those cliffs on the other side of the



crick. From where I set after dinner

the preaching put any club spirit

into us.



A lot of tellers are suggestingsome

only seem to be touching on the fringe

of things. Well this Community Bet-

terment Club strikes me as being the

right idea and I want you to help set

it up when you get home. Here are

the ideas or points to cover. ,



Better homes, Better soil, Better

Live Stock, Better Social Conditions.

Gosh how we need that Pete! Give

me your “reaction” as the Y. M. C. A.

_’l‘his young feller who was up here

said that somers or other where they

had such a club they had. a debate,

an the subject was~“Which is more

valuable to a farmer a piano or a

bathtub.” He said the bathtubs won

but the year that followed saw 6 new

pianos installed in the farm homes

and 5 new bathtubs. Well we got both

the piano and the bathtub but I’ve got

another scheme that I'm going to show

you when you get home. If I forgit

remind me of it. *

So I got the porch on the northwest

lounge out there where “I cork ’em off

say in the Navy when a man was tak-

ing his nap. I never knew what a fine

thing a screen porch was. Maybe if

times improve a little this year we

can have a sleeping porch next year.

Corn and Soy-beans for Hogging Off.





I took the tractor the other day'





while Bob was drilling the beets, and

fitted up a small field near the barn

for corn and soy-beans. This lot has

been used for a hog pasture for a few

years back, but as the clover and al-

falfa had become pretty well exhaust-

ed, and the ground had become some-

what befouled, we have plowed the

ground, fitted it thorouhly and planted

it to corn and soy-beans to 110g off this

fall. A .

We have aimed to keep the mixture

in the hoppers about fifty-fifty by





Do We Cultivate Too Much?

nois experiments. A yield of only 35.2

bushels of shelled corn was obtained

as a nine-year average on land that

was not plowed, and a suitable seed-

bed prepared even though weeds were

not allowed to grow in the corn. 011

land plowed and properly prepared the

yield was 48.9 bushels when the weeds

were kept down in the same manner.



A summary of the Illinois experi-

ments leads to the conclusion that cul-

tivation is of little benefit to corn,

aside from the keeping down of weeds.

Results from anumber of other experi-

ment stations lend suppmt to this con-

clusion.



SoiIs Department Studies Sandy Soils.



The majority of the experiments cit-

ed above have dealt with heavy soils

and since Michigan has a goodly Share

of light soil, experiments were inaug-

urated to determine the efiect of cul-

tivation on the yield of corn on such

soils. .



The results showed some variation

from year to year, but as an average

for the season 1917-18-19, the plots

freed of weeds, but not cultivated,

yields slightly more grain than those

which» were mulched by cultivation.





Potatoes Were also grown on plots

receiving similar treatment, and durc





. ing the same seasons, with the result





that the yields from the mulched or

cultivated areas were very slightly bet—

ter than from the uncultivated.

Moisture determinations were made

every week during the growing season

by Brofessor Gsantham, who was con-

ducting the experiment. The 1esults

showed no increased moisture storage





' . as the result of mulching either when

,a crap was grown or when the soil

rw‘as bars, of vegetation.





Weeds Are the Goats.

rolling there is a tendency for the soil





measure This would make approxi—

mately two soy-bean plants to one of

corn.



Rape at Last Cultivation.



Corn and soy-beans make ‘a good

mixture for hogging off, but we have a

feeling that the ration may be still

improved by sowing rape at the last

cultivation. Our experience would in-

dicate that most of the food that the

hogs secure from the corn and beans

Will be in the form of grain, the leaves

being pretty well dried up and fallen

off by the time, or as soon as, frost

comes. Rape will give a first-class

forage of a succulent nature until late

it on this field by sowing it broadcast

just before the corn is laid by.

Beet Rows Twenty-eight Inches Apart.



We have drilled the sugar beets this

year in twenty-eight-inch rowsf There

is a reason. We are very short of help,

with not very good prospects for re‘

lief, and by planting the beet rows the

same distance apart. as the beans, we

count on saving some time and labor

in the cultivation.



We do not expect much difference in

the tonnage of the crop than if they

were drilled in twenty-four-inch rows,

as We will endeavor to see to it that

the blockers leave the beets closer to-

gether, not over twelve inches in the

row. The result will be about the same

number of beets 011 an acre as in the

closer rows, with beets spaced farther

apart.





resulted, as is illustrated ,by the Illi-

nois results. A nine-year average

shows the yield of corn to be only 7.4

bushels on land properly prepared-but

not kept free of weeds after planting.

Moisture determinations 011 soil grow-

ing weeds have always showed a very





low water content and it may be truly ,.





stated that weeds are very effective

‘dls’sipaters of soil moisture.



Taking into consideration all the

data it seems that corn would getl

along quite nicely without cultivation

if only the weeds would not grow.

Control of weeds therefore seems to

be the real question and so far as the

writer is aware, cultivation is the

quickest, most effective and most eco—

nomical way of coutiolling weeds. If

a field is especially clean, however, it

is leasonable to believe that the

amount of cultivation could be some-

what decreased without det1iment'to

the (3101), and if by coucerted effort on

the part of the faimels in a commu-

nity the weed menace could be leduc-

ed there is every reason to believe

that the labor 1equi1ed to produce

some of our cultivated craps would be





Water Intake Important.





The matter of getting water into the

question which is very important in

Michigan. 011 fields which are quite

campment of boys’ and girls’

members as usual. During the first

four days club work will be given spe—

cial emphasis. On Saturday, August

11, “Farmers’ Day” will be featured,

when farmers will visit the agricul-

tural experiment plots on the station

farm and consult with agricultural spe-

cialists from the college staff. It is

planned to arrange farmers’ tours

from the various counties of the pe-

nins’ula, timed to bring most of the

farmers to Chatham on August 10.

Professor 0. E. Reed and assistants

prepared a report on the cost of ditch-

blasting, based on a demonstration re-

cently held on the farm of Mr. Robert

Arrowood, of Schoolcraft county. This

demonstration was witnessesd by 300

persons, it is stated. The ditch blast?

ed was sixty rods in length and the

estimated cost per rod for blasting it

out is given at approximately eighty-

six cents. The detail of costs shows

that labor used in brushing the land

cost $3.75; that 310 pounds of dyna-

mite cost $62; that twenty caps cost

$1.00; that two men blasting one-half

day 'cost $2.50; which made a total

cost of $69.25. This statement was

was plenty, but the taste could no'

longer derive complete satisfaction

from grass and water. After every

mouthful she cropped she would lift

her head and look so wistfully over





the spaces that she would forget to» ‘ l "





dhew the grass, between her teeth. She

would start off and gallop away over

the prairie as if she had suddenly

thought of some place where she was





sure she would find her companious .





and just as suddenly she would stop

and continue to graze.



Her loneliness became unendurable.

It seemed to have peopled the solitudes

with invisible creatures bent upon

harming her. She was afraid to rest,

afraid even to graze or drink. Once

more she took to the labyrinthine av»

enues between fence posts, penetrat-

ing with impassioned eagerness the

very heart of the homesteading dis-

trict, seeing many homesteaders’

shacks and fighting many dogs, becom-

ing recklessas she became accustom-

ed to them., Often as these remote

farmers plowed their fields, they would

hear her call, sometimes finding her

only a few rods behind them; and their

horses fettered as they Were in their

harness would turn their heads and

reply to her. When a farmer set his

dog upon her, she would fight him; but

Queen was so excited when a dozen

her that she cut herself several times

had cut herself. Having greeted her‘,

however, the confined horses went on

grazing; while Queen capered about





‘on the outside, calling again and again





and reaching over the wires reckless-

ly, to the consternation of the strang-

ers who would just raise their heads

a moment, look at her curiously and

go on about their business.





VVhite—black was not there and those

whom she recognized were all horses

that had but “the fall before attached

themselves to her herd. But she was

happy to see them and to be with

them and grazed with a better appe-

tite than she had had for a long time.

She grazed just outside of the fence,

moving alongas they moved within.





SHE spent the night there outside



of the fence and though the group

of'horses kept walking away consider-

ably they were yet near enough to

dispel the gloom and the loneliness

that had been hanging over her world

since the herd had been taken from

her. It was the pleasantest night she

seemed to be coming in her direction

and who was calling loudly to the dog;

and so she ran away. The experience

of the night was like a clue to her in

her search for her companions. From

there she went to other fences. Fences

were hateful things but they were also

hopeful affairs and she expected to

find her friends in one of them. Thus

she penetrated farther and farther into

man’s dominion. Over the endless,

deviating roadways, betWeen the end-

less lines of fence posts and the treach-

erous barbed wire, always alert, she

went, confident that she could find her

way out in case of danger. \Vhen she

would come upon a group of horses in

some fence she would follow them on





bear. She wearied of the life of in-

terminable limitations and the fence

posts on all sides of her began to hurt

as if the roadways had steadily grown

narrower and the barbs had penetrat~

ed her skin.‘



So she started back toward the

west, toward the wilds she loved, hop—

ing that there she might find the rest





“of the herd where the herd by the nat-





ural right of things belonged. When

she was back again upon the unsettled

wilds she was happier for a while; but

as she went from one familiar spot to

another—~the pond where White-black





had been trapped, the variOus patches





and strips of woodland where they

used to hide or spend their nights, and

ready to part from her companions

againso soon, ‘stopped'to fight him.

He remained a short distance away

from her, barking angrily, turning his

head backward now} and then'as if he

waited for reinforcement, his eyes

glaring at her threateningly. The oth-

er horses had turned about and stop-

ped to watch the battle, and Queen,

feeling encouraged by their watching,

waited for him to come nearer. .



But suddenly takingher eyes off the

beast for just a moment, she saw two

men lead two saddle ponies into the

barbed wire enclosure and she made

a dash for the fence, hoping to jump

over it before they arrived. Just as

soon as she started off the dog rushed

at her with a bark and a snarl. In

terror of him, she turned to strike at

him with her hoof, but as soon as she

turned the dog sprang out of reach.





When she turned once more for the

fence the dog seized‘her tail. She

struck him with a hind leg. He let





go his hold of the tail and dug his

fangs into her leg.



Had there been no men coming, she

might,have fought it out with him. As

it was they were already racing to-

ward her and in desperation, Queen





How to Get the Dough

By E. E.





(Concluded from last week).





The Iowa Agricultural Credit Cor-

poration chartered under state laws,

assumes that its paper will be eligible

to discount like the banks’ paper. Mr.

Valigren says he cannot see how they

can be refused if in good condition.



Short-time Loans.



While these intermediate credit

banks may not materially reduce in-

terest rates, except in those states

where interest rates and commissions

are extremely high, they ought to en

able the farmers to secure loans with-

out the necessity of renewing before

the product is marketed. These banks

can give terms of credit ranging from

six months to as much as three years.



The agricultural credits act is close-

ly related to the United States ware-

house act. In fact, the government

warehoyse receipts are the basis of

security for loans on most of the prod-

ucts the farmer has to sell. The ware-

house act originally limited licensed

warehouse commodities to cotton,

wool, tobacco and grain. It will be

noted that four of the first five com-

modities selected by the federal farm

loan board as a basis for loans as a

try-out for the intermediate credit

bank system, are the same as those

permitted to be stored under the fed

eral warehouse act. The farm loan

'board received some criticism from

those Who did not understand the sit-

uation, because of this limitation of:

products suitable for loans. It was

not until February 23 of the present

year that the law was so amended as

to remove the limitations, and give the

secretary of agriculture the right to

license a warehouse for the storage of

any products which he considers con-

stitutes sound collateral. The farm

loan board will undoubtedly extend the

list of commodities acceptable for

loans just 'as readily as the list of

warehouse stored commodities is in-

creased.



There are now 360 licensed cotton

warehoue‘ss, 227 licensed grain ware-

houses, twenty licensed wool .ware-

houses, and sixty—two licensed tobacco





’warehouses in the United States. The





licensed capacity for cotton is sum-





cient to store at one time about one-





 





ourth of a normal (rotten crop, and for

were now stampeding away to the oth-

er end of the pasthre. When she reach-

ed her companions she plunged into





their midst as if she expected them to .





protect her.



The men first drove the entire

group to the corner nearest to the

shack and there setting the dog upon

her they separated her from the other

horses. They continued to urge the

dog to go at her and his ferocious

teeth and the nerve wracking noise

he was making so confused her that

she stopped to fight him, almost dis-

regarding the two men, whose ropes

as she faced the dog, sailed. over and

dropped upon her head.



The ropes so alarmed her that she





paid no more, attention to the dog.

She reared in an effort togpull her

head from the loops but this only





tightened their hateful grip. While

she was uselessly struggling the men

slipped from their saddles and fasten-

‘en the ends of their ropes to a fence

post on each side of the corner. Then

sfowly they pulled the ropes in, forc—

in;r her back. DeSpite the pain it gave

her, Queen tugged and pulled and

reared. The men then got some more

ropes, they first caught a front leg and

threw her to the ground.

(Confirmed next week).





Reyna/d;





that if the farmers are to realize much

benefit from the intermediate credit

banks, beyond the aid the country

bankers give them, there will have to

be a vast extension of the federal

warehouse system, not only in the

warehousing of these four products.

but the many other products produced

on the farms. It will“ also require a

large army of licensing inspectors,

samplers, graders and weighers, and





l

necessitate the general standardiza-





conform to government regulations.





While properly expanded to coverT

all commodities in every community}

the farmers’ cooperative association-

licensed warehouse system would

solve the market financing problem, it

would give no aid to production. The

licensed warehouse cannot issue a re-

ceipt upon a crop that isn’t planted or

is still on the ground. The crop must

be harvested and delivered to the

warehouse before it becomes a basis

for a loan.





Production Finances Through Local

.. Banks.





It is apparent that for production

financing the farmer will still have to,

fall back on his local country banker,1

or in some way form a connection

with one of those $250,000 agricultural

credit corporations, authorized under

the law, to be financed by private

capital. These corporations were]. de-

states; but, as suggested by Mr. Val—

gren, it may be feasible to extend their

field to the general farming states, to

cover production credits, if the farm-

ers are not satisfied with receiving

this aid through their local banks. The

big farm organizations and COOperative

marketing associations may be able to

solve this problem;

H, Mother, we just had the most

fun, and I am so glad that I

really am a Happy Hustler now,"

sang Mary as she returned at four

o’clock in the afternoon from attend-

ing her second meeting of the Happy

Hustlers’ Club. She had been invited

to attend the meeting of the previous

week by her little friend, Doris, that

she might learn something ot‘ their

summer project of canning. Her in-

terest and enthusiasm had developed

to such a degree that she had accept-

ed an invitation to become an active

clubgmember. "

It was from this initiation meeting

that Mary was returning as she romp-

ed into the kitchen where her mother





 





 





 





 





This Makes a Convenient Device when

was canning the first surplus straw

berries ol.‘ the season. All ecstasy with

her own accomplishment, for she was

carrying in her basket three pints of

canned strawberries which she had

canned herself, she began to tell Moth-

er of the wonderful things she had

learned that afternoon.



Removing the jars from her bas-

ket to the kitchen shelf, she plac-

ed them beside those her Mother was

just finishing. Immediately they both

noticed the direct contrast between

the jars of strawberries. Those that

Mother had just finished canning by

the open—kettle method were of adark

red, tending toward a brownish color.

Already most of the berries were

floating at the top of the jar, while

the rich syrup was all at the bottom.

The ones Mary had just brought back

from the canning club were of a much

brighter red, retaining most of their

original hue, with the berries evenly

distributed through the syrup.



It was with pain in her heart that

Mother noted the failure of her long,

hot afternoon’s work. But this pain

was somewhat tempered by the pride

in her daughter’s accomplishment.





“Mary, I had thought you girls were

going to your club,meeting to play,

and perhaps talk a little about can-

ning, but to have you come home with

all this display of your afternoon’s

work surprises me. rDo tell me how

you did it? «How did you make these

strawberries look so red? I have can--

ned strawberries for twenty years,'but

they never looked like that; What did

you put in them?” “ asked Mary's





Mother.

berries to make them red, though. It

is all in the way you do it.. Doris

picked the berries yesterday, and af-

ter washing and hulling them, put

them in a. large pan with a cupI of

sugar to each quart of berries and

let them stand over night.



“Just as soon aswe girls got there,

we sterilized and tested the jars, rub~

bers and tops. They were all put into

boiling water for ten minutes, and

then taken out with the funniest scis-

sor-shaped forks and left to drain. We

didn’t dry them as we always do, for

Miss Brown, our leader, said they

wouldn’t be sterilized then. Some

germs that might cause spoilage would

be on the dish towel and would cling

to the cans.



“Then we tested all our jars and

tops to see if they were perfect. With

the screw-top jars we placed the top

on the jar without the rubber and

sealed it tight. Then if we could in-

sert our thumb-nail between the top

and the jar, the top was defective.

Sometimes we fixed this by rimming

them around with the back 01' a steel

case knife. With the glassrtop jars,

we placed the ton on the jar without

the rubber and tapped the outer edge

of the top. If the top rocked, Miss

Brown would not let us use it, for it

was imperfect and would likely cause

the berries to spoil.



“Then we tested each rubber by

folding it over half and then folding

it back on itself at the same point. if

it did not crack, it was safe to use.

A good rubber will also spring back

into shape when‘you stretch it.



“After we had adjusted rubbers 011

each jar, we filled them with the

berries, adding the juice of the her-

ries to fill the jars instead of water.

We screwed the tOps on only half way

and placed these filled jars in the

wash boiler on the stove with only

enough water to come within an inch

of the top of the jars. After counting

fifteen minutes from the time the wa-

ter started to boil, the jars were taken

out and sealed tightly. Miss Brown

called this processing. And that is

all, only I am to wrap them in paper

befOre I put them down cellar so that

the light won’t bleach them.”

achievement and the proof of the

method used, Mother spoke" to _Mary,





saying, “I am proud of you, daughter,‘





and I hope you will stick—to the Happy

Hustlers.” But to herself she said,

“Lost is the day in which we do not

add to our fund of knowledge, but I

have certainly learned a lesson frOm

my daughter today. I think it is about

time I woke myself up, jumped out of

the rut and became aware of what oth-

NT ~





By Gertrude Herman, Caledonia, Mich.



I like out-of-door life and so, of

course, I expect to help draw in and

unload the hay, wheat, oats and bar-

ley. In the evening I expect to help

milk and feed the cows and horses.

This fall I intend to help husk and

draw in the corn and cornstalks.



Then again, when my father does

not need me I intend to help mother

pick and can fruit, help hoe the gar-

den, pick the vegetables and do other

things of use to her.



Now, do not you think I can be a.

great help this summer to my par-

ents?





By Christine Endres,

Michigan.

This summer I am going'to do on





Mt. Pleasant,





awful lot to help out, anyway on the

farm. I am going to hoe weeds, get

the cows, take care of the chickens,

and gather the eggs.



Father gave .me a piece of ground

that is about five acres, to do as I

like with. I think I will plant some

beans. I will plow it, drag it, and

prepare it, all myself, and even plant

my beans. When my beans come up

I am going to cultivate them often, in

order to keep the weeds out of them.

to make them grow, andwhen they

are in blossom it will show me wheth-

er I am going to have a. good crop or

not. °’



When the beans are ripe I am going

to pull them and put them on piles,

and turn themoften. The money I

will receive for them will be put in

the bank until I need it for clothing

or something, like school‘ books, gym

clothing, and my things needed in gen-

eral science. I like to raise beans bet-

ter than any other crop.





By Florence Smlgelski, Cathro, Mich.

I am going to keep house, take care





‘ of the poultry, such as turkeys, duck?,





and chickens. also care for the milk

Here is how I' am going to do it. I’ll

go into the poultry yard, fill all the

buckets with water, and place the food

for the day. Next, in the kitchen I

will get the breakfast ready. After

breakfast in the milk house I’ll be

busy, skimming the milk and washing

the‘ pans. Then back to the house I'll

go, and get the house in order. After

that comes whatever work will. call

me, ‘the garden,'washing, irdning or

mending.



Dinner will be ready at twelve. Af-

ter dinner, I will be busy with 301118

work again, and when the sun will be

getting low I’llfbe busy in the poultry

yard, the supper will be gotten ready.

After supper I’ll be in the milk house

again. 1 will also take care of the

'iiower garden.



Mother does not like those jobs, so





 





Dorothy Motry Will Undoubtedly Help Out by Picking Strawberries Again.





I will do them, and let her spend her

time in the fresh air.



I have done it last year, so will do

it. this year again, for it helps both

mother and father.





By Eunice Bowers, Shelby Mich.



I am going to raise string beans

this summer. I and my mother cleared

the ground and she will also have a.

share. We burned the brush and then

my father plowed the ground, it isn’t

dragged yet, but I hope it will be soon

So we can plant the beans.



I will also pick strawberries and

other fruit, as I live 011 a fruit farm,

but the trees are young yet so \there

isn’t much fruit to pick.



I drive the horse while my brother

sprays the trees; that isn’t very hard

work.



I am going to work out and pick up

potatoes this fall. I will also pick

apples and husk corn.



I am going to help keep the garden

clean. I have already planted some

flower seeds. I cut and pull milk

weeds and am going to cultivate this

summer.



I am thirteen years old and in the

seventh grade. I like to go to school





but I am also glad Vacation 'is here,

as I can earn more money.

burn.



He lived for three awful, pain-filled

days, and then died—a victim to his

mother’s carelessness.



It spoiled her life. Many times she

thinks of her lost darling and feels

that but for her fatal act of careless-

I have seen many things caused by

carelessness, among which were—a

runaway whereby every strap of har-

ness, also the wagon, was reduced to

shreds, and when a man fell to his

death from a balloon.



But I think the most exciting and

careless thing I have seen was when

I figured in it most conspicuously my—

self, and that was when I chopped off

my little sister’s finger with the axe.



Mother had cautioned me about us-

ing the axe, but thinking I was a

petty fair woodsman, I took a notion

to split a block of wood While sister

held it erect. You know the conse-

quences. The. miracle was, I didn’t

cut off her entire hand.

F you place too much .faithin the

' eggslfou'nd in a. stolen nest your





egg customers may lose faith in you. ‘





It'often pays to keep a “questionable

egg basket” and place there any eggs

that are found in stolen nests or in

litter that may have covered them for

several days. Such eggs may look

fresh and not shake, but it is danger-

ous. to mix them with strictly fresh-

laid stock.

Selling Broilers.



Watch the weights of the broilers

and sell them at two and three-pound

weights. A local dealer tells me that

many cockerels are held until late fall

and sold atlow prices after their feed

bill is large. A three-pound broiler

at thirty cents per pound brings as

much as a five-pound cockerel at

eighteen cents per pound, and by sell-

auto collisions,





Chicken Collisions.



How much is a motorist to blame

for running over a chicken? A careful

driver will often slow down and avoid

striking poultry in the road. A speed-

er will destroy a lot of good poultry

in the course of a. season. And some-

times the best of drivers cannot avoid

striking a hen because the irrespon-

sible bird never seems to know when

she will want to cross the road. Noth-

ing is gained by taking auto numbers

and quarreling with drivers who strike

chickens. Here is the only practical

remedy. Fence the frontage of the

farm near the poultry yards so that

the birds will seldom range in the

road. Since doing that we have saved

enough poultry every year to pay for

the fence. If your loss is only five

hens and broilers per year their mar-

ket value is enough to buy several

rods of chicken-tight fence.





Marketing Eggs.



When eggs are sold at roadside mar-

kets neat cartons are necessary. These

can be purchased for about a cent

each, the price depending on the qual-

ity and quantity ordered. A good-

looking box worth one cent will read-

ily increase the sale value of the eggs

about five cents or more. Many man-

ufacturers increase the-value of their

productsby using attractive packages.

The egg producer can do the same

farm the biggest nuisance is the Sun-

day business that may develop The

friend in the city who starts ”out ‘com-

ing after eggs, on Saturday soon finds

that Sunday motor trips are eaSiest

and drops in at that time. Many farm-

ers with roadside signs find that the





only way to avoid requests for Sundoy'





deals is' to takedown the sign and

stay away from home all day. If you

do not wish to do Sunday business it

is best to go easy on the direct mar-

keting.





Furnish Plenty of Water.



Poultry needs an abundance of wa-

ter. If you use small water dishes in

hot weather they are always dry be-

fore you have time to fill them. In a.

short time the birds suffer for water

and then fight and trample each other

when the dishes are filled. It pays to

use fairly large fountains and place

them in the shade. Then make it a.

regular duty to refill them often

enough so they will never be empty.



The uSe of dry mash increases the

necessity of a large water supply. A





' hen with a throat full of dry mash on





a hot day cannot be comfortable. The

bird needs the mash for growth or egg

production but not much mash can be

eaten if no water is handy to wash it

down. I find that warm water is best

for young chicks, but after they are

feathered out they will relish clear

cool water and will drink more water

when it is clean and fresh. ,





 





Day-old Chicks.



1 think the selling of day-old chicks

will gradually reduce the demand for

hatching eggs. Buyers who want

chicks wish to see them right away.

The beginner dislikes waiting three

weeks.

months when the new incubator is be-

ing operated for the first time.



Chicks are cheaper to ship than

hatching eggs. Here is one example:

A good grade of loo-chick size boxes

can be purchased for $3.00 per dozen.

A good loo-egg size box will cost $7.00

per dozen. That is twenty-five cents

for the chick box and over fifty-eight

cents for the hatching-egg box. In

addition the 100 chicks will bring ap—

proximately twice .as much as 100

hatching eggs. For ekample, you can

ship a. $20 chick order in a twenty-five

cent box while a $10 egg order re—

quires a fifty-eight-cent‘ box.





 





POULTRY ASSOCIATION PLANNED.





N attempt to. organize the Michi-



gan poultrymen into one great

commercial body.will be‘made at a.

two- -day meeting at the agricultural

college on July 12- 13.



The name of the proposed associa-

tion will be “Michigan Poultry Asso-

ciation." Its main purpose will be to

encourage and promote the poultry in--

dustry, to furnish poultrymen a good

market for their product, and to assist

holding poultry shows and establish—

ing standard grades for Michigan

eggs.



The tentative plan of the associa—

tion calls for establishment of egg

depots in Detroit, New York and Bos—

ton to which members will be able to

market their eggs and poultry.



Among those who will speak at this

two-day meeting will be Prof. W. R.

F Ruth represents woman as bread-

winner in the Bible, and the Shula-

mite lass‘typifies woman as lover,

then Esther stands for woman as pa-

triot. ,For Esther is patriot, with no

hesitating or slack hand. She is keen

at intrigue, she is fearless, she is de-





lvoted to her people, and she is not





willing to shed blood. When I was a

youngster I used to hear Esther spok-





‘ on of as the most wonderful woman of





 





 

 

   

   

   

   

 

 

 

 





the Bible. More. than once I have

been held quiet and attentive while my





. father’related the story of the beauti-





ful queen. But of late years Esther

has had some hard bumps. Her beauty

and her boldness have been slighted

and her desire for revenge has been

brought forward. -

Here are a few quotations from mod-

ern writers on this book and its chief

character: “The name of God does not

appear, and it is a nOn—religious book”.

“Alone of all the

books of the Old

Testament he as-

cribes deliverance

unto .men instead

of to God. Fast-

ing is the only re-

ligious rite that

the b o o k men-

tions.” The book

is the story of. the sensual despotism

ot‘ the king. of the selling of herself by

Esther, of her relentless cruelty, and

there is not one noble character in the

book.” It may be added that the book

had difficulty in being admitted to the

Old Testament. Centuries later when

Luther made his memorable transla-

tion of the Bible into German, he ex-

pressed some doubts as to whether

Esther should, be in the Bible at all.

These remarks are made to show

the modern man’s attitude toward

some parts of the Bible, as well as a

scholar and Christian like Luther, who

can hardly be termed a modern. It is

simply the attitude of men who are on

the lookout for the truth, and who hold

the plumbline of truth as Christ pro-

claimedit, by which to measure. The

book is a. perfect portrait of a woman

who thought first of her own kith and

kin, second of her kith and kin, and

last of her kith and kin. Its keyword

would be, blood loyalty. And that is a

wonderful loyalty, when it . is not

stretched beyond the bounds of honor





and justice.

THERE are some passages in the

lives of American heroines in col-

onial days, that have a ring like the

of Esther. For instance, there was

Elizabeth Dane, whose name is still on

the lips of folk who live in some parts

of WeSt Virginia. ‘In the early days

the little fort near the Danes was sur-

prised by the Indians. A few men de-

fended it, while the Dane household

nearby kept up a rapid fire'from holes

between the logs of its cabin. The

fight continued all the first day and

much of the night, the tired frontiers-

men snatching bits of sleep in turn.

The second day the powder ran out.

.Someone must run to the fort, twenty

rods away, and get a supply- Who

would go? One of the, Dane brothers

volunteered. “No,” said. Elizabeth,

“.You are needed here, and you have a

family besides. I’m not as valuable as

you, and iii do not come back, it

won’t matter so much.” The door op-

ened and she dashed across the open

‘ space between the Cabin and the fort,

‘. the Indians’ bullets» flying thick around

'her.,~ She was admitted, got the' pre

cious powder in her apron; and started

ning near her to shoot. Her husband

in the cabin shouted cheering words

as she flew across the twenty rods,

while he furiously shot the muzzle load-

ers which were handed to him by the

women within. And Elizabeth Dane

got to the cabin, without a scratch and

without losing a grain of the powder. .

Her name will long be kept in remem-

brance. The reason that Esther has

been criticized has been because it

does not seem to be a religious book.

No one has ever questioned the power ‘

of the story itself.





The queen was in a tight place.

Vashti, the former queen, had been di-

vorced (perhaps executed) because ‘

she would not make a spectacle of her-

self before her drunken husband and

his gay companions. As soon as the

young and inexperienced girl had been

taken as a wife, she was confronted

with this plot to kill the people of her

race. It was not the first time that

wild and ferocious schemes had been

made, in a state of intoxication. John, ‘

the Baptist, lost his life thus .



M UCI-I fun is made of prohibition by



people who ought to know better.

It is not perfect, but it is getting more

perfect every day. One thing is cer-

tain, we are not using up liquor, for

instance, as we did the year before the

Eighteenth Amendment was passed.

That year, America drank up every

minute enough liquor to buy a work-

ing man's home—~a house and lot every

sixty seconds. If you put a piece of

money on each word in the Bible equal

to the money spend for liquor in 1917,‘

how‘ large a coin do you suppose it‘-‘

would be? Ten cents on every word?’

Ten dollars? No, it would have been

$2,852; $2,852 on each word in the‘

Bible, from cover to cover, to equall

the sum spent for alcoholic refresh-‘





 





 





 





 





 





ments. At least we are not doing that. .





 





With whatever faults that we mbd-i

erns attach to the Book of Esther, it'

contains without doubt one of thel

best pieces of story-telling to be found

anywhere. The. young Jewish queen

found herself in a position where she,

and she alone, could save her people

from death by massacre. It was by

no means certain that she could have

them. The whole plot of going to see

the king, inviting Haman to the ban-

quet, and then accusing him, was a

grand venture. It is not surprising

that the queen asked the people to.

pray for her. The golden text of this:

lesson is an almost perfect motto for’

the young .man or woman—“\‘Vho know-

eth but that thou art come to the king-

dom for such a time as this?” Every-

thing hangs on the youth of today.

Tomorrow is his. The world has not

been saved yet, nor the people in it,

saved from selfishness and hate and

lust and the grasp for power and pleas-

ure. There is much to do still. Who

is going to do it? Who knoweth

whether thou art come to the kingdom

for such a time as this?

THE TREDWA-Y HOG RANCH.





 





LONG a delightful concrete drive

that parallels the state line be-

tween Michigan and Ohio, and near





‘the little town of Metamore, lies the





Tredway Hog Ranch. _

It is but one department of the beau-

tiful four—hundred-acre farm Carved

out of the wilderness by the elder

Tredway. He has built himself a mag-

nificent home by the side of the road

Where he may retire in comfort on his

own land, if the winters be too severe,

he is able to warm himself in the .sun-

ny climes of freezeless Elorida. L

ical source of water supply.

ranch. He maintains around thirty

brood sows, mostly pure-bred Durocs,

and feeds off the product for the TO‘

ledo market.



There were 175 head in the last lot.

These are shown in the accompanyingn

picture, that were recently trucked di-

rect to the Toleda yards in prime con-

dition. The spring‘ crop of pigs now

going on feed contains about the same

number. '



The house in the illustration is a.

first—class feeding establishment. .It is

built 16x150 feet, with a loft overhead

for the storage of feed and bedding.

This is a great convenience in bad

weather. The arrangement: permits

throwing two or more pen-s together,

and every other pen is equipped with

an automatic warmer and a unique

system of built-in - self-feeders which

are easily set up or removed.





DOCK THE LAMBS. \





HE advices regarding the docking

and castrating of lambs at the

ideal tender age oftentimes causes

the sheep owner to neglect these op-

erations entirely. No serious results

happen, however, to the 'six or eight-

weeks-old lambs by these operations.

Docking is done easily by heating

to a dark cherry heat (not a red heat)

a docking iron, and cauterizing the

stub with this iron at the same oper-

ation‘required to remove the tail.





Any piece of steel with a heavy

back, like an old drawshave, will meet

the requirements of a docking iron.

This year we used old drag shoes.

These were heated in a forge, and not





one lamb ‘in a. hundred lost adrOp of





blood.

mill; but the main service in such

cases should come from the wind

power.



Centrifugal pumps require more





power than ordinary pumps. They are

also short-lived. But when in good

working order they raise the water

much faster than cylinder pumps.



The capacity of the centrifugal

pump is often too great for the inlet

of the average well, and may prove

unsatisfactory for this cause. The or-

dinary screened well point will coat

over with a. scale of lime and iron, and

greatly restrict'the inlet of, water.

Mildly heating the point in a black-

_smith’s forge or an open fire, and tap.

ping with a hammer will remove the

scale and .give as good service again

as a new point.



Where a large amount of watg‘ is

required an extra or duplicate pump is

advisable, just like» the extra tire for

the automobile. The farm water sup-

ply always seems to go wrong or fail

at the most inopportune time—J. Mc-

’It was decided to abolish the grand

LOEB’S FIRST LIVE STOCK SALE.





H-E first sale of pure-bred live stock



at the Loch Farms just outside 01‘

Charlevoix took place last week. It

was a great day for some 600 farm

folks mostly from northwestern Mich-

igan, who came to see the superior;

animals kept on the LOeb Farms and,

in the majority of cases, to bid on the

pure-bred stock offered for sale.



The bidders were largely men who;

are just starting in the pure—bred bus-i

iness. Naturally they were not in-l

clined to bid up the stock as would:

have been the case with old breeders.

considering the high quality of the

offerings. However, the Loebs were

well satisfied with the showing, and

are happy that this seed stock has

gone out to improve the herds of.

northern Michigan.



.The selling was handled by Colonel

Andy Adams, of Litchfield, who was

very ably assisted by W. E. Byers, a

local auctioneer. Every animal cat-E

alogued was sold to the high hidden!+

The returns totaled for the thirty-four

pure—bred Helsteins, $3,120; for thel





 





Durocs, $877.50, or a grand total of

$4,637.50.





l





R. C. E. GUNDERSON, agricul-

tural agent of Gogebic county}





has recently reported the addition of: B. V. KELLY, Syracuse, N. Y., Auctioneer





a carload of pure-bred cattle to the

herds of his county as a result of the

dairy meetings recently held in Go-

gebic county by the Upper Peninsula

Development Bureau. The cattle num-

bered eighteen Guernseys, three Hol-

steins, and one pure-bred Guernsey

bull. The prices paid for these ani-

mals ranged from $127.30 to $157.30.

They are described as all sizeable

cows and capable of 300 or more

pounds of butter-fat production. The

purchase was effected with the aid of

notes signed by four business men of

the county and then banked. The cat-

tle were then distributed among the

farmers according to a prearranged

plan and the allotment took place

Without a hitch, it is stated. A new

cow-testing association has been form-

ed here, with thirty members at the

start, while club workers have been

installed in Ironwood and Ewen town-

ships.





 





Says Sam: A man can’t be a real

good farmer without being a good

father. The best stock on the farm

isn’t in the barn.





 





Scrubs~ can multiply just as fast as

pure-breds, but they never get the

right answer. '





Sour» milk fed chickens is said to

out down cannibalism. It furnishes

animal protein which poultry seek in

devouring one another.

Flies and other insects go elsewhere for their dirty work

when you spray your stock with “Shoo—Fly.” They can’t stand ,.

“Shoo-Fly” any more than stock can stand them. Leading

dairymen everywhere who have used “Shoo-Fly” for 38 years

say cows sprayed with “Shoo-Fly” in fly season give one-third

more milk. Cows won’t hold back their milk. when they’re safe

‘from pestering insect tormentors. Not only that, but "Shoo-Fly”

is antiseptic and helps heal cuts and sores. It aids materially in

keeping down lice and mites in poultry houses. It is harmless

to man or beast. ‘



If your dealer can’t supply you,

send $1.50 now and we will send you

enough “Shoo-Fly” to actually save

you $20.00 in milk and flesh. We will

CHILDREN AND GROWN-UPS.





E certainly do have a time get-

ting the children to brush their

teeth regularly, at least once a

day, preferably after each meal. Late-

ly the children are staging a come-

back. “I clean my teeth as often as

father and mother clean theirs," said

one girl. “Oftener than dad does.”

Could it be possible? Having op-

portunity to visit a few of the fathers

and mothers I made some discreet in-

quiries which took the form of asking

What make of toothbrush enjoyed their

preference. Time and again I met the

reply that the present equipment was

worn out and no opportunity had o'c-

ourred for its replacement. The tooth-

brushes that I saw in many cases Were

sorry specimens of ancient vintage,

getting bald as to bristles and gener-

ally decrepit and discolored as to

frame. No matter how conscientious

father or mother might be in attempt-





be quite impossible for it to do good

service.



“One apiece” is the rule for tootlr

brushes, and it is just as important for

grown-ups as children. The brushes

should be well-bristled, large enough

to give a good comprehensive stroke,

yet not so large that it cannot be

readily turned to reach all surt‘aces of

the teeth. It, should be flexible but

not wabbly. It should stand up well

under wear, but considering the fact

that a toothbrush gives service three

times every day it is not surprising

that one wears out now and then. Fifty

cents is a fair price i'or a good brush.

If you use it faithfully you will put it

through the toothbrush drill over five

hundred times in six months and by

that time it is not surprising if it.

clamors for retirement. Spending val-

uable time in applying a worn-out

brush that does not get results is about

as bad as wilful neglect.



Fathers and mothers, please take

, stock of your toothbrushes and see

Q. that there is a good one per capita

through your family. Remember, that

you are neither too old nor too young

for the chore; the only persons excus-

ed are those who disdain teeth because

they live wholly on a milk diet, and

those who are not dependent upon the

usual methods of cleanliness but. can

take out their teeth and wash them

in a bowl. If you would avoid this lat—

ter unenviable distinction get a good

brush and use it with persistent regu—

larity, no matter whether young or old.

Remember, that in brushing the teeth

you not only cleanse them but you im-

prove the circulation 01’ blood through

the gums, sweeten the mouth, prevent

pyorrhea.





 

 

 





 





BLACKHEADS AND SKIN TROU-

' BLES.





 





My boy, eighteen years old, has a

slight spin disease of some kind on

his face, and he persists in “digging

out” what he terms “blackheads.” His

skin was smooth and in a healthy con-

dition until about five years ago. Nev—

or since the first appearance of “pimp—

les” has he been free from them. The

eruption extends over his shoulders

and back. He appears languid much

of: the time—R. T N.





Your boy’s skin trouble is one that



is very common in young people of his



. age. It is called Acne. As a usual

thing, it seems to have no bad effect

upon the general health. The best

plan of cure is to be rather abstemious

in diet, especially as regards fats and

sweets, to drink freely of water, to

' keep the‘bpwel action regular and keep

the skin active. The best treatment

for the skin is a cool or cold bath

Voyery morning, follOWed by a brisk

rublflng all over the body.

BY this time you have probably

read the newspaper announce‘

ments of the three greatest discov-

eries in tire manufacture in the his‘

tory of tires.





For your convenience we repeat

them—





. 1. Sprayed Rubber~ the first truly pure ,

rubber. ~



Web Cords—a rubber-webbed sheet of

cords with every filament of each cord

impregnated and surrounded by pure

natural rubber. It does away with

all cross tie—threads. It is the most

substantial step in friction elimi-

nation since the old type square

woven fabric gave way to cord

construction.





2.





O l523.llnmd Sum Rubber Compunyfiuw Yon





 





 





The New Discoveries m Rubber Manufacture

Now applied to U SRoyal Cards





3. The new Flat Band Process of bu11d1ng





a cord tire—ensuring for the first time

a uniform tire equalized through and

through in resiliency and resistance to

puncture and wear.





These three new major contribu—

tions to the art of rubber manufac-

ture have been utilized to give the

Royal Cord a better, longer lived—

more resilient carcass and a better,

stronger, longer wearing tread.



Again you see U. S. Royal Cords living

up to their leadership obligations.





Again you see U. S. Royal Cords

practicing what they preach:

confidence and larger public service.
