Some milk men cannot let well

A sprinkling of untruth leads almost

certainly to a hurricane of lying.





if we jump at conclusions, we are

pretty apt to go sneaking back to the

starting point.





While practice makes perfect, one

can drop a hot potato as gracefully

the first time as he can the tenth.





If so many persons were not imbued

with the idea of getting in on the

ground floor, there would be less room

at the top. ‘





The eye doctor learns never to

judge by appearances, for while the

cross-eyed man may be straight, he

never looks that way. '





S OME important fac-





- tors which should

L°°km¥ receive the thoughtful

Ahead 1" consideration of farm-



Agrlculture ers and others who





are interested in the

present and prospective agricultural

situation are brought out by A. B.

Genung, economist in the department

, of agriculture.



Ten years hence, this authority

points out, our nation will consist of

125,000,000 people. Judging from the

present movement and increase 'of our

population we shall have at that date

seventy million country dwellers and.

fully ninety million people who will

reside off the farm.





This greatly increased non-agricul-

tural population is certain to bring

changes in the supply and demand for

farm products. It must be remember-

ed, however, that production does not

adjust itself to demand to that nicety

which we would like. We can see how

much production and consumption are

now out of line, with the result that

agriculture is now struggling in the

trough of the waves. It was riding a



, crest in 1919. How long it will be be-

‘ fore the next crest is reached, no one

can definitely say.





. In the meantime, however, one of

the serious problems which must be

r'wor-ked out during the next five or ten

4 .years, according to Mr. Genung, is the

-gi'despread debt which was contracted

by farmers during 1921. This matter

requires straight thinking. It cannot

be p'confounded with the subje'Ctot





 





 





credits. W11

is as important, in agriculture as in

other lines, it. must be remembered

that berrowing money to pay current

debts does not get the individual very

far»



During the next decade, this econ-

omist declares, a large amount of new

capital must be saved ,up and reinvest-

ed in the farm plant. The repairing

of old buildings and the construction





_of new ones, the rebuilding of half of





our fencing, the laying of millions of

tile, the replacement of farm machin—

ery and the purchase of millions of

tons of fertilizer and lime‘, and pro-

viding of farm power, all of these

items will occasion the Spending of

millions of dollars of capital. The

patching, mending, repairing, and us-

ing of makeshifts which farmers have

patiently done for nearly a decade,

cannot continue much longer. It will

be seen, therefore, that our credit

problem‘ has more than a. single angle

to it.



. There is hope in the situation, how-I

ever, since the domestic market is

broadening at the rate of nearly a mil-

lion and a h'alf new consumers every

twelve months. The time has come

when farmers should look‘forward and

take stock of their business with an

eye on 1930, instead of 1920. Agricul-

ture will recover from its present

despondency and will prosper. This

day will undoubtedly be hastened if

farmers will look ahead instead of

mourning over the past.





E have just re

MlChlga," 8 ures from Washington

PrateCt've which help us to un-



Tariff derstand better why





our potato crop of

1922 went upon the market at such

ridiculously low prices. Shipments

from thirteen leading states for the

season ending May 31, 1923, amounted

to 242,061 cars, as compared with 234.-

064 cars for the corresponding period

ending on the same date in 1922, and

for a five-year average from 1919 to

1923 inclusive of only 202,684 cars.

These figures show that actually

twenty per cent more potatoes were

delivered to the markets last year than

were delivered on an average for th

ending in 1922. m’



While Michigan farmers suffered

heavily this past year from the glutted

potato market, they were able to de-

liver a much larger portion of their

crop- than were the, farmers in the

western states. For instance, while

the deliveries from these thirteen

states were but three ,per cent more

than were made in 1922, the number





of cars from Michigan shbwed an in- .





.crease of nearly fifteen per cent over

the shipments of the previous season.



The whole matter brings to our at-

tention again the fact that here in

Michigan'we have our consuming pub-

lic close at hand which makes railroad

tariffs actually a protective wall to our

home trade.





HO are the men





Who Are that continue to



violate the liquor

The Law laws of our country?

Breakers According to official





figures, just made

available by the federal government,

the large majority of these violators

are aliens or those who have been

reared under alien influences.



These government figures tell us

that ninety per cent of the violators

in Connecticut are of the above class-

es. In California, they make up eighty?

zfivelper cent of the liquor law violat-

ors. In Illinois, ninety per cent; in

New Jersey, sixty per cent; in Utah,

eighty per cent, and in Wisconsin,

ninety per cent. Figures for other

states are not yet available.



It, perhaps, might be said in defense

of many of these people who have re-

cently come to our shores to establish

their homes, that they, to some de-

gree undoubtedly, have been the vic-

tims of evil—doers. Reliable authori-

ties assert that liquor propagandists

have incited many of these newcomers

against the United States and its Con-

stitution, and have represented to

them that the prohibition laws were

not properly passed nor sincerely in-

tended.



Be that as it may, the figures given

above tell us most plainly that true

Americans have a real duty to perform

:7” stop of this state

ox questioned the advis-‘

8118111888 aibility of investing in ,





thé silver

ness. According to press reports, the,

reason given for this attitude was that

prime 'fox furs could not be produced

in the United States, but only in cer-

tain sections of Canada.



Not long ago a sale of pelts was

held in London, England. Of the 2.3.75

silver fox pelts offered, approximately

ninety per cent were from foxes grown

in captivity on ranches in the United

States and Canada. The t0p price of

$631.68 was paid for a pelt from a.

United States ranch-raised fox.



A bulletin on silver fox farming has

just been published by the United

States Department of Agriculture. It

says, “The production of silver foxes,

properly managed,'has proven a profit-

able business. As a fur animal bred





in captivity, the silver fox has no rival. '





Both pelts and the live foxes for; breed-

ing purposes are in demand.”



The bulletin further states that sil-

ver foxes are being grown successfully

in practically every one of the north—'

ern tier of states. Over five hundred

ranchers are now engaged in the busi-

ness in this country, and last year

they had in their possession between

twelve and fifteen thousand foxes reps

resenting an investment of eight mil—

lion dollars.



Let us, however, give this caution,

that there is no animal in captivity

which needs to be handled with great-

er care than do foxes. The shiftless

man should deliberately stay away

from this line. The rancher who ‘suc-

ceeds is one who not only informs

himself on the general facts of proper

feeding, breeding, selecting and pro-

surroundihgs, but who,

also, makes it his business to study

the behavior of every individual ani

mal in his charge. _'

HE man who plans work and

It is true that we can hire'a man’s

about two-thirds of what he has to

The other third is made up of

heart interest and a genuine desire to

A few practical ideas on executive

engineering which have helped build

up fortunes for other business men——

some of them agriculturists, will not

be amiss.



First of all, the executive should be

cheerful, well—poised, thoroughly in-

formed, and enthusiastic himself. If

he possesses these qualities, he will

command respect, and besides, enthu-

siasm is contagious.



Second, he will provide good work-

ing conditions for his helpers. To re-

quire toilsome and heavy work to be

done by man-strength which can be

better done by machinery, arouses a

protest in the worker’s mind. Be per—

fectly ready to explain the responsi-

bility and risks of the employer, as

well as the numerous expenses of ov-

erhead, upkeep, and crop disappoint-

helper grumbles and thinks he is not

getting a fair deal because he does

not understand. Help him to under-

Third, the wise executive will en-

opportunity for advancement. Have

the duties of the position clearly un—

Herve Ummm/ Qua/me;





N the spring of 1869, I cleared up a

I piece of new ground which I plow-

ed and planted to corn. In one

part of the field was a little cluster, of

bushes which were cut down and re-

moved out of the way and the ground

planted with the rest of the field.-

VVhen the corn was five or six inches

high, and l was cultivating the ground

at the spot where the 'bushes had

growu, and intently watching the hills

of corn in order to prevent accidents,

I saw what I knew at a glance to be a

tiny walnut sprout.

0n stopping to examine it, I found





L the sprout had sprung from the stub





‘of a little walnut tree which I had





.mowu down with the other bushes, not

,_ observing at the time what it was.

This little sprout was making a strug-





gle for life, pushing its leaves upward

in the sunlight. I staked it to prevent

its being run over and to give it a

chance



In 1920 I stood by the side of a lofty

its fruits. Memory took me back, and





I was lost in wonder at the p0ssibili-





ties that were wrapped up in that tiny

So it was very

natural that this question came to my

Jid'd: “Are there not equally great

' 3‘s in that tree of today?” '



" '1 We growth of the use. we

'it went.





The surprise came then. Although I

had seen peaked walnuts before, I had

never seen any just like those.



Their peculiar form suggested the

idea that they might be a cross be-

tween the walnut and the butternut.

With this idea in mind, I sent some

specimens to the M. A. C. with a re-

quest that the .men of science tell me

whether they were a high-bred or not.

There was 'no response from Lansing,

only that they were of a delicious -fla—.

vor, which was encouraging as far as

But they were sent to the

headquarters of the N. N. G. A., with

offices on Long Island, New York.



I received a note from the secretary

of the association requesting a few

more nuts, and also a history of the

tree, which were sent. I was then in-

formed that a great contest was in

progress in which prizes had been of-

fered for the specimens of different

kinds of nuts which they thought best

for propagating purpose-s. The time

had passed for taking in any more, but

they said they would consider mine

as being in the contest and give them

a chance with the rest. The contest

came to an end, and a product of my

little walnut sprout had won and was

chosen as a basis on which to build

time for payments, even if the money

has to be borrowed and interest paid.

The employer who pays well and





promptly, who gives right working

conditions, and who is agreeable to

work for, can always command the





cream of the workers available.





Fifth, the farsighted executive

looks ahead and plans for tomorrow;

and a week in advance. and a year





ahead. He maps out a worthy sched

ule, and as nearly as possible lives

up to it. He has a list of jobs which

need to be done, and he avoids the

expense of idle time by having some





 

   





thing ready to fill in every crack of .

time with;



Sixth, the successful executive keeps

track of his own financial affairs

closely, and in every way tries to beat

his own record. To do this, he knows

for a certainty what each man can do '

best, and divides the work with this

in mind. .



.Seventh, he never “crabs,” or keeps

up an irritating fire of criticism. pTo

avoid this, he makes it clear beyond

all doubt, what each man is to do, and

if necessary, 110w it is to be done.

Any expresSion of dissatisfaction is

straight from the shoulder, and if pos-

sible, given when alone with the work-

er. The criticism is always construc-

tive, and the thought is thrown out,

“You can dothat right, 1 know.”





Eighth, if the farm executive‘ finds

that some one worker is a regular

“pudding stick”Aor always keeping





things stirred up, he discharges him

quietly and easily. The same thing

happens if the worker shows an abso-

lute disregard of his employer’s

wishes.

VlL‘lt in Cass county, Jesse Green

has 120 acres (IUYOlt-d to alfalfa.

Labor is scarce in his community, the,

same as in every other agricultural

community of the state and country.

To simplify his labor problem, Mr.

Green is now pasturing fifty—five, head

cago stock yards this spring, on some

of this good alfalfa. Mr. Green holds

that he is getting splendid gains on

these steers

It is estimated that the alfalfa would

yield an average of three tons per

acre. Green attributes his success

with alfalfa on his land, which is mast—

Takes Three Rows at Once





Find; t/zz'r Equipment Save; Time in Growing Beam





By P. P. Pope





N securing our bean growing equip



ment several years ago we planned



to have working tools supplement

each other. The drill that we. chose

is a regular fertilizer grain drill with

eleven hoes. This permits the sowing

of three rows twenty-eight inches

apart and the use of the drill wheel

for a marker, driving so that it returns

in its own track.



We often sow fertilizer, mostly acid

phosphate, with the beans, and as it is

not advisable to sow it directly in the

row with the seeds, due to the fact

that the chemical action which takes

place when the fertilizer comes in con-

tact with the moist earth is apt to

injure the very tender bean sprouts,

the fertilizer is shut off from the hoes

that drill the seeds and allowed to run

through all the others, thus spreading

it broadcast except in the bean rows.



Covering the Ground Rapidly.



We had considerable difficulty in

finding a cultivator that could handle

these same three rows at one sweep.





"It occurred to us that this would be an





ideal way to cultivate beans, if the

proper implement could be found, and:

would mean a saving of half the man





labor over either the two-row or one-



VVe finally located the tool that look-

ed right to us in a beet field, cultivat-

ing four rows at a time. We learned

that this cultivator could be equipped

with a_ double .castor wheel behind

which would straddle the middle bean

row, and that the shovels could be ar-

ranged on the bar to suit one’s con-

venience.



\Ve ordered one thus equipped, and

have used it for several years. Two

good horses will handle it nicely. The

front or outside wheels follow the

tracks of the drill wheels and the rear

double-castor wheel straddles the mid-

dle row. A variety of shovels may be

used and spaced few or many along

the bar to suit conditions. f

A manufacturer of a nut. oil combina-

product out of cocoanut. oil and peanut

oil. He has a special process in which

he introduces no milk or cream. The

oils are churned in cold water, by

which process they are emulsified and

solidified. Butter color is added, giv—

ing the product the appearance of but-

ter, but while it has an agreeable lla-

Vor it is easily detected from real but-

and the trade name has no relation to

butter or other dairy products. It

in place of butter.

NEW issue of $45.000.000 of Fed-

While the bond market is dull at this

is thought that they will sell readily.

WANT. LARGER AMERICAN REP-

RESENTATION.





 





S ECRETARY of Agriculture Wallace

recently invited a number of per

sons interested in the International

Institute of Agriculture to a confer-

ence at the department of agriculture

for the purpOSe of devising ways and

means of promoting the usefulness of

the institute. The call was made at

the suggestion of Arthur W. Gilbert,

commissioner of agriculture of Massa-

chusetts, who presided at the meeting.

There was much criticism by the

speakers because of the lack of Ameri—





can representation at the annual as-

semblies of the Institute in Rome.





\\'hile an American originated the In-

ternational Institute of Agriculture, it

was pointed out that the United States

has very meager voting influence in

the organization. We have! only five

votes whereas Great Britain has twen-

ty-three and the British Empire thir-

ty-five votes.





WOULD PROVIDE COUNTY AGENTS

' WITH PROJECTORS.





 





HE American Farm Bureau Feder-

ation has asked the Federal De-

partment of Agriculture to supply the

county agents projectors for motion

pictures. The government has many

thosuand feet of films. but, according

to Samuel R. Guard, director of infor-

mation of the Farm Bureau Federa-

tion, only about 500 of the 2,500 county

agents in this country have facilities

for projecting the films. -

It is the contention of the farm bu-

reau that the usefulness of these films

would be greatly enhanced if the‘de-

pa'rtment of agriculture would pur-

chase projectors and loan them to the--

county agents. It is thought to be

ment of agriculture does not bear out

any such conclusions.

age stock of eggs is above the aver-

age, but below last year’s figures. The

government report shows a five-year

average of 6,328,000 cases in storage

June 1.

8,056,000 cases in storage, and on June

i072 How I W oula’ Improve Our Farmmg?

By Lisle Berry





0 the writer, it seems that alfalfa,



corn and live stock constitute the

shortest route to ecoriomic independ-

enCe for Michigan farmers. '



Alfalfa and corn will produce fat

cattle and hogs that will top the mar-

ket‘anywhere, and live stock and al-

rfalfa will maintain the fertility of our

soils. You do not need to be told that

barnyard manure and alfalfa sod will

produce bumper- crops.



Live stock also furnish a profitable

market for our cull potatoes. Geo-

graphical local and high western

rates combine to place the

Michigan live stock producer in a pc-

culiarly strategic position.



Sweet clover is another'legume that

will assist many a farmer to increase

his 'income by furnishing abundant





I . cheap summer feed for dairy cows. As





a pasture crop, it has no equal.





"'jThe soy-bean is a new legume crop

”that promises to become a very im-

' ’portant and highly profitable crop. As

. Some of the earlier varieties will

mature seed anywhere that medium

The writer has a. strain of “Ogemaw”

soys that have produced fully-matured

seed three times in succession here in

Cheboygan county.



Small fruits, onions, and other truck

crops may be produced successfully

and» profitably in many sections in

Michigan. Michigan’s already large

and rapidly increasing industrial pop-

ulation is the Michigan farmer’s gol-

den opportunity. Let’s study our mar-

FORD engine No. 4913404 is to be found in a Ford sedan

sold in Great Neck, N. _Y.





After 19,000 miles of driving the owner wrote:





“On delivery of this car I drained the crank—case of the

cx1stmg oil and placed Gargoyle Mohiloil ‘E’ therein.





“My car has run over 19,000 miles and the engine has.

never been touched, the head has never been oil. At the end

of the above stated mileage l had new speed bands installed.

The old ones were worn down to nothing, but in good con-

dition and had “CVL'T chartered.”





liord cnginc No 4911404 has been givcn every possible

care. lhc owncr saw that the old oil was drained of? at

proper intervals. Nothing but Gargoyle Mobiloil “F.” was

ever put into the crank—case. A Ford engine, like any other

engine, pays handsome dividends to the owner who gives it

fair treatment.





Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” today is used the world over by

Ford owners who want to approach or even better the rccmd

made by the owner of Ford engine No. 4913404. And every

Ford owner who uses Gargoyle Mobiloil “E" knows from

experience that it does lessen carbon deposit, does reduce

over—heating, dam reduce repair bills, oil consumption and

gasoline consumption.





Why experiment? There is no oil which has as thorough

or wide—spread endorsements for the Ford engine as Gar—





goylc Mobiloil “E.”

_A cement floor is the best for, a

poultry house, as it is permanent and

keeps out rats and weasels. Last year

We built a cement floor which has

proven dry and satisfactory. First the

wall was constructed and eight-inch

bolts were set in the wall to which the

sills of the building were later bolted

down. ,



Then the fill was made with. field

stone t0‘a depth of about eighteen

inches. This was leveled off with sand

and tamped down. Then a two~inch

layer of cement was placed on the

sand. Over this layer we placed strips

of roofing paper with the seams seal.

ed to keep moisture from working up.

On top we placed the finishing layer

of two inches of cement. The job

might have cost less if we had left

out the roofing paper and used less

cement. .



I have tried wooden floors in small-

er houses. but they are soon in need

of repairs. I believe cement is the

only right material for a layinghouse

that is permanently located.

HE following comparative table



forecasting the crop in states

whose apples come in competition with

Michigan’ s is of interest at this time:





JUNE DROPJS HEAVY.





 





EPORTS from different sections



of the fruit growing sections of

Michigan, indicate in a general way

an unusually heavy June drop of ap-

ples and cherries. In many instances,

this drop is estimated at as high as

fifty per cent. This does not neccs~

sarily mean a fruit failure. The trees

will have fewer fruits to mature, and

often this is a distinct advantage in

perfecting fruit of high quality. Judg-

ing from reports, orchards following

clean cultural practices have a small-





- er drop than those retained in sod.





CANNERS SEEKING MORE ASPAR-

AGUS.





 





ANNERS haye suddenly developed



faith in green asparagus. In years

past, practically the only asparagus

preserved in cans has been the bleach—

ed stems, produced in the west. Now

the. Paw Paw, cannery, which‘ packed

five thousand cases from twenty-six





'aores, states that every case was sold

‘ . as soon as packed. A Grand Rapids





concern reports a similar experience.

The Michigan Canners’ Association is

about, therefore, to make an investi-

gation of the asparagus industry look-

ing toward a wider utilization of this

product in their canning work.





WANT SHIPPING POINT CERTIFI-

CATION.





 





ICHIGAN fruit and vegetable



growers are asking the depart-

ment of agriculture for federal inspec-

tion of fruits and vegetables at ship-

point points. Twenty-one other states

are now enjoying this service. Since

congress has provided that certificates

issued by a federal inspector shall be

prima t‘acie evidence in all courts of

the United States as to the truth of





. the facts stated regarding a shipment





of fruits or vegetables, these certifi-

cates become highly important com.-

mercial documents in the hands of

regarding the depredations of cut-'

HERE is scarcely a garden that is

not beautified by roses in greater

or less abundance and the insect pests

are ever present to weaken the plants

and to destroy the foliage and flowers.

Fortunately, however, a little care and

the proper use of simple insecticides

will eliminate most of these troubles.

The common pests are the leaf-eat-

ing insects, such as the slug and the

sucking insects, including aphids or

plant lice, leaf hoppers, and scale.

White gr'ubs occasionally attack plant-

ings in new beds which were in sod

the previous year.



The rose slug is readily controlled

by arsenate of lead at the rate of one

half ounce of powder, or about eight

level teaspoonsful (twice as much if

paste form is used) to a gallou of wa-

ter, and if aphids are present add a

teaspoonful of forty per cent nicotine

sulphate. If slugs only are present,

the arsenate of lead may be applied as

a powder, either pure or mixed with

equal parts of air—slaked lime or dry

flour as a carrier. If aphids and young

leaf-hoppers only are present, spray

with a forty per cent nicotine sul-

phate, one teaspoonful to a gallon of

water in which is dissolved an ounce

of soap. Applications should be thor-

ough, a forcible misty spray applied

and care should be taken to reach the

undersides of the leaves.



Scale insects, when present, occur

on the canes and give them a scurfy

appearance. During the winter months

the heavily infested branches should be

cut out-and burned and the remaining





canes thoroughly sprayed just before '





the buds open in spring, with lime-sul-

phur one gallon of liquid concentrate

to eight of water.





The canning factory at Edmore

started canning peas June 25. There

is approximately one hundred acres of

early and late peas in that community.





 





The first Kent county farmer to





bring cherries to the Grand Rapids





market this year was J.’ P. Munson,

treasurer of the Michigan State Hort-

icultural Society, who sold Early Rich-

monds at $2@2.50 per case.





 





Over in Berrien county, G. P. Pullen

established a record last summer when

he disposed of 1,000 bushels of peach-

es in a single day at the roadside to

motorists and truckers. E. W. Dun-

ning, a neighbor, got rid of a 13,000

bushel peach crop in the same man-

ner. '





 





The outlook for fruit in Ottawa coun-

ty is excellent. The only failure of

account seems to be the strawberry

plots located on high land. Winter

apples promise a, heavy crop, while

early apples will prove moderately

. O conserve space, and to give

the readers of this page the ben-

fit of the many suggestions



made in our last contest on how best

'to secure end-posts, I am endeavoring

to bring together the various ideas in

this little story.



, ,A Good End-post.



The majority of our correspondents

prefer a. large cedar post for this pur-

pose. A few, however. mention osage

orange, oak, Catalpa and sor'ne other

varieties. The sizes range from eight





 





Caringfar t/ze Gram





NE of our good readers is



anxious to get suggestions

on how best to get the grain

from the thresher to the grains

ai‘y. We know that many little

ideas have been worked out by

our readers to economize in this

respect. Let us have your sug-

gestions.



Just describe your idea in a

letter or on a post card, and

mail to me, The Handy Man,

Michigan Farmer, Detroit, on or

before July 11. To each of the

writers of the five best letters,

we will send a high-class safety

razor with six blades.





 





 





 





inches to two feet in diameter and

from eight to twelve feet in length.



These posts are creosoted by some

of the correspondents. A few treat the

entire lower end. Others apply creo-

sote to that portion of the post coming

at the surface of the ground, where

decay is usually most rapid. Charing

was also mentioned as a means of

lengthening the life of the member.



Nailing or bolting cross pieces to

the post to increase anchorage is quite

the universal practice. Two cross

pieces are generally used, one near

the surface of the ground on the side

from which the pull comes, and the

other at the bottom on the opposite

side. One farmer. inserts an iron rod

through a hole bored near—the bottom

end of the post. Two~by~sixes were

generally recommended for the cross

pieces.



The hole or trench must” be deep

enough to take the portion of the post

to be buried and large enough to ad-





 





 





mil: the cross pieces. Stone is most

frequently used for filling around the





 





 





 





 





post and over the cross pieces. The

size of the stone varies from two to

six inches in diaiilctcr. They must be

firmly tamped to prevent. the posts;

working loose in the hole. A few writ,-

ers recommend cement or dirt for the

filling.

The Triangle Principle.



The principle of the triangle is em-

ployed ill anchoring these ends. The

post itself forms one side of the tri-

angle. Another side consists of ‘a

brace, and the third is two or three

strands of No. 9 soft wire running

from the end of the brace back to the

post which is being anchored.



In the majority of cases, the brace

extends from the anchor; poSt to a.

second postin the line of the fence. It

may run horizontally, as shown in the





illustration, or diagonally from the top Michigan Poultry Association. and £33, ,





‘of the end-post to a point near the-

ground on. the .bracepost. ,

Wiring is done as illustrated- Two





 





strands are usually

where a heavy strain will be placed

upon the post; or where there is a

possibility of the wires rusting, three

wires are used. After these wires are

placed, a stick is inserted between the

wires apd they are twisted until the

proper ‘lension is secured. , :‘



A few eliminate‘the wood brace by





guying the top of the anchor-post to'a ~





heavy stone buried a few feet distant





on the opposite side of theUp-ost from -





the direction of the pull.’ Combina-

tions- of the two ideas “are "also em-

ployed as illustrated ln'one of the

cuts. '



Breaking away from these establish-

ed ideas, one farmer cuts a saw-log

twelve feet long and buries over half

of it in the ground. No braces are

used. Another correspondent digs a

trench Sixteen inches wide, four and

one-half l'eet deep, and five feet long,





 





 





b

n“





\





:l





 





 





 





in line with the fence. He has sheet

metal forms which he places over the

far end of this trench. He then in-

serts a reinforced concrete brace from

the end of the trench in the direction

from which the pull comes to a hole

in the form. The cement is then. pour-

ed, making a solid block of the post

and brace. Reinforcing is used to

thoroughly anchor the post to the block

of cement in the french.

contest are as follows: Allen E. Eaton,

of Eaton Co.; Chas. Johnson, Gratiot

NE day, while Queen, for want of

O something better to do, was doz-



ing over her empty manger from

which she had eaten up every spire of

hay, she heard the dog, outside, bark

with unusual excitement.‘ By the in-

creasing rapidity with which his barks

succeeded each other, she knew that

something was coming. She soon

heard the rumbling of a wagon and

when that sound came very close and

stopped it was followed by the clatter

She had allowed her-

self to worry about ‘many sounds that

had resulted in no harm to her and

experience was teaching her not to

worry. So she soon went back to her

dozing, especially since the rapid pat-

ter of hoofs, as the horsesdrawing the

wagon pulled into the yard, had quick-

ened her memory of life with the herd.





In the midst of her dreaming she

was suddenly disturbed by the en-

trance of two strange horses whose

heavy feet beat the floor of the barn

so hard that she felt every beat. The

harness on these two huge horses was





, massy and bits of metal on it flashed





with the reflection of the light of the

doorway. They were led into the stall

next to Queen and with absolute indif-

ference to her they began to rummage

in the manger and the oats boxes,

calling greedily for food. Queen watch-

ed them with no little interest. She

was afraid of the men who had come

in with them but in spite of the men

she could not resist the desire to touch

noses with the horse nearest to her.

She pushed her nose anxiously through

an opening in the partition and the

big horse touched it with his nose a

moment, but immediately returned to

his voracious search for oats. . But the

touch of the big nose had only inten-

sified the burning desire in her heart

for companionship, and she called

.more loudly and with greater appeal.





UDDENLY she felt a slap upon her



back and when she almost flounced

into her manger in fright, she heard

laughter behind her.- The man who

had slapped her then Went round to

the front of the manger and when

Queen’s eyes fell upon him she recog-

It was he who had helped

the man of the place capture and

brand her. The smell of him was most

repellant and she backed away as far

as she could go; but he untied her

ropes and pulling their ends together,

around a steading of the back wall of

the manger, he pulled on them, drag-

ging herJorward till her knees struck

the manger, and her head was over his

shoulder as he stooped. He held on





Taking





the other end of the barn with a bunch

of straps, threw them up0n ,her head.



She struggled desperately to pull

her head away but the ropes were re-

lentless. The evil-smelling hands of

her owner moved all over her face and

she was powerless even to show her

resentment. His big thumb forced its

way between her teeth and while her

jaws were apart a piece of iron slip-

ped in between her teeth; and before

she could dislodge'it, the straps were

forced over her ears and fastened

around her neck.



With teeth and tongue she struggled

to eject the~ annoying iron from her

mouth but try as she would she could

They then loosened the ropes and her

owner seized them all with one hand.

the reins which hung from

the bridle bit in the other hand, he

jumped over the manger. Seeing him

she sprang back nervously and he fol-

lowed her. She started for the door-

way and when she got out into the

open, she was going .a little fast for

him. With a vicious jerk on the reins

he halted her. The iron in her mouth

was bent in the center and the least

jerk on the reins forced the bend to





strike the tender palate with the force '





of a hammer.





THE full light of day to which she

was no longer accustomed hurt

the joints paining her with the exer-

tion of her first activity in so long a

time. A wagon stood not far off with

its tongue extended before it. On the

seat was a fur robe. It appeared to

her like some sort of animal and she

was afraid of it. Against its wheel





punishment. So she tried very hard

to control herself, though her every

nerve was on edge.



The man then walked forward and

pulled on the ropes. She did not know

what he wanted, so she braced herself

against his pull. Again he jerked the

reins and to avoid the force of his pull

she moved hastily toward him. At

once he moved off again and a few

repetitions of this taught her to fol-

low when led. Around and around the

yard' the man led her and with eyes

aflame with fear, her skin quivering

with nervousness, Queen hastily fol-

lowed him, desiring to resist but anx-

iously afraid to do so.





She was beginning to think that. that

was all they wanted other when the

man in the doorway of the barn came

forward with a heavy leather affair

from which straps and things hung

and dragged on the ground. She was

standing quite still, breathing rapidly

when this new apparition appeared.

As the man Swung it upon her she





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





Her palate by this time was Sore and

the pain was so excruciating Queen

again lost her temper and for ten min-

utes both men were obliged to hang

on the ropes and the reins as she

reared and kicked and balked. But in

her/enraged kicking one of her hind

legs struck one of the rear wheels of

the wagon and the pain. that shot

through her whole body had a quieting

- effect upon her. While they had her

up against the wagon from which the

boy and the dog had fled, they placed

the saddle upon her.





THE saddle securely fixed, they led.





her off again, but walking was now

difficult and painful. The cinch, the

strap that keeps the saddle in place,

was so tight that it was almost com-

pletely hidden by the skin which lop-

ped over it from both sides. It cfit

her painfully every step she took. In

two places on her back some hard

parts of the saddle pressed against the

backbone.





But all this, miserable as it made

her, was as nothing compared with

the‘ horror that swept over her when

the man suddenly seized the horn of

the saddle and threw himself upon her

back like a beast of prey. She sprang

forward to get away from the farm.

yard; then on the open prairie she

began in real earnest the attempt to

throw him. He pulled on the reins till

she felt the bend in the bit boring into

'her tongue. He dug his spurs into her

sides. He lashed her savagely with

the knotted ends of the rcpes. ' But in

her desire to rid herself of the fright-

ful weight she seemed to have lost

her sensitiveness to pain. She shook

her body as a horse will shake water

from him. She reared. She kicked

backward. She shook the rear of her

body while she braced her front legs

against the earth. -Then failing in all

these attempts, she threw herself to

the~ground.





He jumped in time to avoid a brok-

en leg. Then thinking that she had

conquered she struggled to her feet

intending to fly, but to her consterna-

tion, she was no sooner on her feet

than he jumped back upon the saddle.

She was determined to get rid of him

and was about to throw herself again

when she received a blow upon one

ear that almost stunned her. The man





had leaned forward and struck her with '





his hand in which he held his hat;

but she thought it was some ferocious

bird come out of the air to assist him.

and dashed away. When he wanted

Gossip from Cherry Hill





By 0. W. B.





HEY had a different sort of cel-

ebration at Cherry Hill this

year. Henry tells about it in

his letter. Also a new idea is born

into the community. All are doing

well.

Cherry Hill, July 4.

Sittin’ on the Porch.



DEAR UNCLE DAVID:



Well the Great and Glorious is about

over. I’m out here on the porch with

Vera watching the fireworks down at

Carey. We can see them real plain

from here, an the skyrockets an Rom—

an Candles and the explodin’ bombs

makes me glad that I’m here an not in

France four years ago wen we had

fireworks a plenty an more than I. ever

want to see again.



We didn’t go to Carey Celebration

'but our COmmunity put on a Picnic

down in Charley Gilkey’s grove near

the crick. That’s in Charley’s pasture

an about the finest, most peaceful place

.for such doings that I ever see.



Well we first thot we’d make it a

Sunday School Picnic but Charley, wat

is a'little more progressive than most

of us, thot why it wouldn’t be better

not to limit ‘it to Sunday School but

make it Community, so that’s wat we

did.



We didn’t invite no outside speakers

but just brought ourselves and famil-

ies an dinner an we had about the

best time I ever had. You see Uncle

we are getting interested in this Bet—

ter Community Movement and things

is comin fine as silk.



Well we played some games, drank

pure water out of Charley’s bubbling

fountain that he has fixed up to that

"spring coming out of the rocks, swung

invthe swings, played baseball and the

boys went in swimming tjor Charley

has dammed up the creek an make a

nice pond, an then we had dinner.



Say Uncle we didn’t haveany sup-

per atall. I didn’t want any an Vera

says she ain’t going to force anybody

to wat doesn’t want to. Had coffee

cooked over a fire in a nice brick

stove Charley had built for the pur-



‘ pose an then after things was cleared

up we set down an talked things ever.



Well I ain’t going to tell everything

about it. They elected me chairman

an then we figured wat we wanted and

wat we needed. Well, we made up a

Community Council. One representa-

tive from every organization existing

in the community. Runs something

like this, one from the Sunday School,

one from the Agricultural Club, one

from the Woman’s Society, one from

the Church, one from the School Board,

one from the Boy’s Base Ball Club, an

one from theLiterary Society.



They will meet once each month an

talk over community problems an de-

cide what to do. Well that’s a good

start for one day aint it Uncle? Eve-

"rybody was interested and stayed till



' ‘it was time to go home for chores and

we all voted it had been the best



Fourth of July we ever spent.



You know Pete Robertson lives down

the road about a mile frombur‘place.

" e an I, “Fit an Bled in the Great

.Fth :togither” as ,the’ old 'Scotchman

' '5‘ Well Pete’s been d’OWn at “the





\t





   





Agricultural College workin’ for his

degree as I should hav done if I hadn’t

married Vera in such a hurry and got

on this place. \Vell Pete’s mother and

pappy are gettin’ rather old an de-

pendin’ on Pete to come home to work

this summer, but Pete had a fine job

offered to him for more money an he

up an accepts.



Well it made me rippin’ mad to see

him leave his folks in the ditch an go

off just for a few more sheckles. It

wasn’t like Pete an I wrote him purty

sassy but it didn’t have no effect,

leastwise he didn’t come home rite

then. But he’s home now an expects

to stay all summer till school opens



\Vell it made me rippin’ mad to see



\Vell it took a .mite of a woman to

wake Pete up. You know Mary Martin,

been teaching our district school this

year. Never was a finer girl, only

don’t tell Vera I said that. She’d be

m'akin’ comparisons. \Vell Mary an

Pete’s been purty thick for some time.

Pete use to tell me bout her when we

was in France an sometimes when

things began to fly kinda thick around

and the coolies got ornery and the

mud in the trenches stinkin’ Pete use

to hone for Cherry Hill and Mary.



He’d swear if he ever got out of this

dirty mess alive he’d be satisfied to

spend the remainder of his days on

Cherry Hill and try to make his folks

and Mary happy. He wrote her as

many letters as the censor allowed an

then wrote some more he never mailed

but kept in case he “went west” an

somebody could give them to her.



\Vell Mary went to Summer School

at the AG. College an I guess Pete for~

got his folks an thought he’d just have

a fine time down there with Mary this

summer. But Mary went down there

for work an she told him that if that

was the way he felt about his folks'

he’d better forgit her. Well, day or

two after Mary went down there Petel

come home an ever since he’s pitched

in like a good feller an taken the load

off his folks back.



Pete is pitchin’ right in to our com-





she dropped back into a Weary I





 





munity affairs too an is going to be a;

lot of help. Pete’s pa an ma are going

to take a vacation when the corn is

laid by. First vacation I guess they

ever took, an Pete’s responsible for

that. They got him one of them Speed-

wagons an has built a little bungalo

on it all fitted out with everything

comfortable an cozy an they plan to

just amble over the country an take

their time visiting the old home an old

friends an no particular destination

cept to get home ,some time before

school opens.



Well I give Pete a long mark 'for

that. They aint had no rest for years

an it’s about time they did something

to spell the load a bit. Pete made the

plans for them an I reckon the little

Girl doin’ summer school work down

at the college had a, hand in it too.

Pete says its'his' conviction that every

farmer is entitled to a vacation just

as much as any feller wat works over

a desk an he’s going to see that his

folks gets it from now on.



Guess he’s right don’t you Uncle?

'As she began to hastily rid her

from the garden with a pail of, big red

“I’ll answer it, mother. I think it

is Jane calling about the picnic,” she

sang as she hurried to the telephone.

But this is what Mrs. Stanley heard:



“Hello!”



“No, this is Julia.”



A minute’s pause.



“Yes, Mrs. Gray, I would be very

glad to help you. When do you want

me to come over?”



“Yes, I have the berries all picked

phone, there was a determined look in

her expression.



“Mother, if Jane calls, tell her I

can’t go to the picnic,” she said. “I

am going over to help Mrs. Gray with

the threshers.”



The Stanleys had recently moved

from the city and were new at the

farming game. With plans to marry

a young farmer of their community in

the fall, Julia was anxious to grasp

the opportunity to get some firsthand-

ed experience in feeding farm help on

the farm. With this in view, the pic-

nic did not enter into consideration.

And so, armed with an apron and

a Ford, she was very soon in Mrs.

Gray’s kitchen assisting her in prepar-

ing the dinner for fifteen or more hun-

gry men. It was all a wanderful rev-

elation to Julia. She had lived the

greater part of her nineteen summers

in the city and small town, and to her

the haying time, threshing time, and

silo-filling time on a large farm was





dreaded. But that afternoon as she

returned home, it was with a much

changed viewpoint, and she was eager

to tell her mother of the new things

she had learned.



She found her mother on the porch





- doing the mending and in answer to





her mother’s question as to what she

had learned that afternoon, she ‘sat

down beside her to tell her all about it.

“Mrs. Gray is certainly a wonderful





 





little housekeeper. With the three

children on the farm, she gets along

splendidly. She had plannetLa very

simple but ample meal, and it seem-

ed to appeal to every one of the

hungry men. She served:



Roast Beef Mashed Potatoes





Browned Gravy





Bread and Butter String Beans

Cucumber Pickles Radishes

Fresh Cherry Pie ' Lemonade



“The meat she had roasted yester-

day, so it had only to be re-heated. I

peeled the potatoes and got them

ready while she‘ prepared the string

beans. I helped make the cherry pie,

too, and now I know how to keep them

from running over. Just add about

one and a half or two tablespoonfuls

of flour mixed With the sugar, and they

will never run over a bit. Mrs. Gray

also added about one-quarter teaspoon

of soda to the sugar for each pie, and

it didn’t take only about three—quarters

as much sugar, and the flavor was

just as good.





Sweeten Lemonade with Syrup.





“In making the lemonade, we used

half oranges and half lemons, and

sweetened it with syrup instead of

the dry sugar, and this helped to beat

Mr. Sugar Profiteer, too. Several of

the men complimented her on how

good it was, and said that in warm

weather they preferred it to coffee.



“It was no trouble at all for 11s to

arrange the dinner on the table, as

At the mention of her future, a

maidenly blush crept over Julia’s

cheeks. - '



“But,” she 'continued, “the best

part of it all is that there was no

extra washing to do.”,





Save on Was-hing, Day.



“I don’t see‘how she could eliminate

that,” said Julia’s mother, “there must

at least have been a few towels. ”



“No, not even any towels,” declared

Julia. “She had purchased a rollof

paper toweling and the men never

complained about using them at all.

She had also purchased a large paper

tablecloth and napkins. ‘When the ta-

ble was cleared, all were chucked into





the stove and there was no thought of;-





extra washing on Monday.” ,



“I have missed you today, daughter,

with the canning,” said her mother,

“but I am so glad you went, for you

certainly have come home with a pock-

et full of experience.”

Roman Catholics she is regarded with



. peculiar reverence as being the moth-

er of the world’s Messiah. Some one



has divided her life into three palts



_.thus: Mary the learner, Mary the



mourner, and Mary the worshipper.





, She had much to learn.





She did not know the certainty of

the things which she heard, yet in her

simple and trusting hea1t she believed

them No one else believed the shep-

herds as far as we know; but Mary

pondered over what they said. When

the wise men came from the east Ma1y

must have been set to thinking still

more; concerning the Babe at her

breast.



There were hard things to learn,

too. One day she and her husband



‘ ‘ ” lost the Boy in a

great city. They

searched 'for him

three days, “sor-

rowing,” we are

told. When they

found him they





what to make of

it. He was dis-

' cussing deep theological

»with the sages. Everyone was amaz-

.ed,‘his parents with the rest. They



did not understand Him. And yet He

was surprised to think that they had

thus looked for Him.



“A recent writer on the life of Christ

says that this whole incident was a

'rebuke to the parents. “They had left

'Him to live His inner life alone.” Per-





’ haps there is something in it. Like

a. companion to Him, and He was

obliged to consider the questions that

pressed on Him without outside sym-

pathy or help.



Again, Mary had to learn. One day

she thought He was nervous and tir-

ed; worse than that, that He was “be-

side Himself.” She and His brothers

went to bring Him home When it

was told Him that His relatives were

on the edge of the ClOWd looking for

Him, _He replied that they had no



_ more claim on Him than other good

people; that everyone who did the will



' of God was His mother and sister and

brother.





 





HESE were hard spots in life’s

road for Mary.



to know. about them. It is clear that

she had to learn, like other people.

She did not understand her wonderful

Son. The person who never grows is

dead without knowing it. That is one

of the weak spots in the church.‘ Many

church folk will apparently do any-

‘thing but grow. If the minister de-

fparts from the ancient theological





flandmarks, it is a subject of complaint.





"‘Us never done it that Way,” said an





‘ _ old man to a young minister who was





. roan be taught;





trying to persuade the pillars in his

church to undertake something new.

NOt infrequently the pi eache1 himself

is averse to the new. G1 owth is a law

of life.

‘ Prof. Thomson, the noted Scotch bi-

ologist, says that a snail is capable of

a new idea. That seems to be more

than can be said of some humans. Fish

Human beings are ex-

pected to push back the horizon of

their mental and spiritual world. Many

never do.A11 may.

There is a wonderful picture of

2; Mary and her Child, at the time of the





‘f-flight into Egypt. by the French Paint"

. r—..er,_»Merson.





‘ It is called “The Repose

questions .





But we are glad.





 





riences, Mary never was despondent





nor spoiled. She remained the simple .





minded, devout woman, ready to profit

by life’s teachings. Such is the es-

sence of greatness.





HEN we turn to Mary the mourn-

er, there is tragedy indeed. When

the infant Christ was brought into the





temple, you will remember how aged.





Simeon came up and blessed Him, and

said to his mother, “A sword shall

pierce thine own soul also.” He was

right. The sword piercing became ac-

tuality. We can only imagine how she

felt as her Son stood trial, and the

crowd hooted; or when He was led to

Crucifixion Hill. No words can de-

scribe that. We are not told how she

felt. It'could not be told anyway. It

must be left to the imagination.

“Woman, behold thy Son!” he said to

her in the closing agonies of the cross.

No words could better express how

He felt. And she made no reply. There

are times when silence is the only

speech possible.



The story is being told in England

that the Prince of Wales recently vis-

ited a hospital. for crippled soldiers.

There were tWenty-eight beds. The

Prince saw twenty-one men. “Where

are the other seven?” he‘ asked. He

was told that the others were so badly

crippled that it would be depressing to

see them. But he insisted, and was

taken to see six. “But there is one

more I haven’t seen.” He was told

that this man was so horribly mutilat-

ed by shell that he was hardly human;

a .mere mass of flesh, a horrible object.

His Highness ought not to see such a.

tragic sight. “But I want to seem him,”

Said the prince. He was taken into





the roomwhere the shapeless mass of





human flesh lay on. a bed. For an in-

stant he turned pale, then stooped and

kissed the victim of war and walked

out. No word was spoken. There was

nothing to say. Silence was the high-

est eloquence. Was not this true of

Mary, as she stood, a mourner, at the

cross?





HAT became of Mary after the



resurrection? John had taken

'her to his home, and there is reason

to believe that John belonged to a fam~

ily that had considerable means. Very

likely she lived with him the rest of

her days. She must have been with

the disciples in those excited early

days of the infant Christian church,

when persecution was rife. She would

know of James’ death, of Peter’s im-

prisonment and release, of the conver-

sion of Paul. No doubt she heard some

of Paul's letters read to the church at

Jerusalem. She may have wished to

go with John when he organized the

church at Ephesus. But the Bible

tells us nothing more. And it is as

well. But the peasant girl who be-

came the woman of gentleness and

love is the most famous woman of

history.



Here is what another says of her

character, with her quietness of spirit;

her admirable self-control; her devout

and gracious gift of sacred silence.

The story of her life and of her rela—

tionship to Jesus is consistent through-

out and touched with manifold uncon-

scious traits of truth. Such a narra-

tive could not have been feigned or

fabled."

Dear Uncle Frank:



Helping out! That’s me, all right!

Listen, boys, I’ll tell you. all about my

big- ideas. They’re not air castles,

either, and I’m not blowing bubbles,

as they call it. I’m in earnest this

time.



Here is what I’m planning on pull-

ing through this summer. It may





mean ,it.



Well, I’ll start now. I’m going to

work out and earn money until I can

get enough to buy books. I’m going

to run the tractor, milk the cows, and

take care of them. I’m going to help

my father fix his little old bus.



I’ll help my mother wash the dishes,

sweep the floor, and dust the furni-

ture. I am going to plant a garden,

and I’m going to make a garden of my

own. I’m going to plant carrots, to-

matoes, pumpkins, beans, and I’m go-

ing to try to plant celery and peanuts.



After all my garden plants are up

I’m going to go dowu town and sell

everything I raised, and with the mon-

ey I’ve made I’ll be helping out. From

your nephew, David Johnson, Glad-

stone, Mich., R. 1





You’ll be a helper, all right, if you

do all these things. I hope you will

keep close to the fulfillment of your

program. I





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



We have three cows and three hors-

es. We also have a. nanny goat which

had two little kids. They are the cut-

est things I ever saw.



It makes me mad when I see bobbed

haired girls with knickers. I have

neither. In our school there is one

girl besides myself who has long hair,

that is out of fourteen girls.



Hoping to be your niece, Elizabeth

Pionke, Lawton, R. 2, Box 102.



I can’t help but be slangy by sug—

gesting that youI should be careful not

to get the kid’s goat when you play

with them. It looks like twelve to

two in favor of bobbed hair. "

ing to the asylum.



From your niece, Dorothy Richard-

I’ll be waiting for the pansy and

regarding the asylum. Do you mean

that it is the place for me?

Well, Uncle Frank, I am trying one

of your contests. I know I won’t win

because I never do win anything.

Well, Nature seems natural again.

All the trees are budding, and the

grass is nice and green, and the wild

you won’t win. Yes, I like poetry, that

is, good poetry. I’m glad you appre-

Dear Uncle Frank:



I think'Harold Coles hit the nail on

the head, all right. But paint is all

right if put on the outdoor buildings.

Hello, Uncle Frank No. 2. How’s your

good health this morningLI hope

yours is better than mine, because I’m

sick abed. I had the lockjaw and

have been in bed since Sunday.



I’ll tell you how it happened: I felt

just fine Sunday until I started to eat

my lemon pie. Then my jaws locked.

They took me to the doctor and he

couldn’t get them open. So he putme

to sleep and then pried them open.

They said it sounded like a shotgun.

My mother said she thought he had

broken them, but I guess I’m going to

to get better. I hope so, anyway.-



My neigthrs and friends are so

good to me. They bring me flowers

and come-to see me, and I receive lots

of nice letters from them.‘





I’ll tell' you, Uncle Frank, friends are i





the nicest things on earth, except your

own folks.



Well, I will close. Your loving niece,

Louisa Lamphier, Oxford, Mich., R. 4.





You certainly have had an‘unfortu-

nate occurrence. I hope you get over

your trouble soon. I, agree with you

about friends. ’ .





e Laugh Most.





By #28 Prize W inner:





By Josephine Wells, Pokagon, Mich..



The thing that I remember as hav-

ing made me laugh most was wnen my

mother told the following: Once when

my oldest brother was about three

yearsold my grandmother put his

playthings out under a shade tree and

tied him to the tree (for he ran away

if left alone a moment). She then'

went into the house. At noon she

went to get him for dinner but there

were no signs of him there, so she

went ,around to the side of the house,

and there he was, tied to another‘ tree.

When she asked him how he got there,

he said ,“Well, grandma, 1' got tired of

staying over there at that tree; so I

tied myself over here.”





By Lola Court, Allen, Michigan.



The other. day motherand I were

talking about whatlwe would do on

Daddy’s birthday, which is on June

20. Mother looked at the calendar and

exclaimed, “Why! today is the twen-

tieth.”

as to have a regular. birthday supper

all ready as soon as he unhitched, so





he wouldn’t, know we were doing ity





until he was ready to eat.



When we sat down to supper Dad-

said, “Well, what does all this mean!

How did it happen you have so much

for supper tonight?" ‘



Mother said,

your birthday.” .



He looked very much surprised at

this, them he said, “This is only the





thirteenth, and my birthday ls‘n’tkuntil y-





a week from today.”

DON'T BE CARELESS.





 





By Mary Marcis, North Branch, Mich.

One day one of our neighbors went

to town with his two little girls, and





. ' when. they were coming home it start-

, ' ._ ed to rain.





_ He had to stop at a place

On returning. As it was raining he

was in a hurry to get home. He took

the rope and tied the horses to a pole

and left the two children on the wag-

on. He did not notice how he had

tied the horses, but wont pn to the





, house to get what he was after.





By this time the rain was falling

faster and faster, and, of course, the

horses didn’t like this and they start-

ed to ,jerk their heads about until at

last the rope broke loose. They start-





,"ed on- a- run, and this frightened the

'two girls.





They started to scream and

at this the horses ran faster.

When they came near our house we





pheard the children screaming and





mother and I ran out and tried to stop





“ ‘the team. .‘ They did not stop, but as. '

five were on the east side of" our gate

' they, ran. in our‘ yard.

She‘d them, an' dmy sister Elizabeth got

tame. two'chlldren off. They were both_





 





‘There, we stop- '





 





 





ORGANIZES FOURTH COW-TEST-

ING ASSOCIATION.





 





OUNTY Agent" K. K. Vining, of



Kent county, has completed; the

organization of. the fourth cow-testing

association and is already started on

the fifth. The Alto-Kent Association

consists of twenty-five herds in the

vicinity of Alto. _Its officers are: A.

Behler, president; R. G. Bancroft, vice-

president; Elmer Yeider, secretary-

treasur'e1; which office1s, with C. W.

Johnson and Glen Lo veland, constitute

the board of dilecto1s.



HANDLING THE COWS DURING

HOT WEATHER.





 





ILCH cows should be handled

very carefully in hot weather.

There is a great deal more danger of

injuring cows giving a large 'flow of

milk in hot weather than there is in

cold weather. .

Cows on good pasture and well-

grained produce a large flow of milk

during the summer season, conse-

quently along with the irritation of ex-

cessive heat are called upon to per-

form heavy physical labor. To hurry

the cows or cause them to run from

excitement is likely to overheat them

and produce digestive disorder and





' sickness.





Many dairymen find it necessary to



drive their cows some distance to and

from pasture. Where cows are brought

up from the pasture at 4:30 o’clock in

the afternoon, as most dairymen prac-

tice in order to begin milking, the

cows are exercised during the hottest

time of the day. Every measure of

precaution should be taken not to hur-

ry the cows at this time.

,'In handling the herd to and from

pasture it is not unusual for a cow to

cause a little annoyance by running

out to one side, back to the pasture or

perhaps refuses to go immediately in

to the stable with the rest of the herd.

Have patience with her. Do not yell

at her and call the dog, but work

quietly and talk kindly and she will

generally go in without trouble.



COWS handled carefully at all times

give a larger yield of milk, keep in





better flesh and prove more p1ofitable.





—-—Leo C. Reynolds.





MORE LEGUMES MEAN BETTER

FARMING





 





A LTHOUGH Michigan is one of the



leading producers of legumes, spe-

cialists are thoroughly convinced that

the acreage could be greatly increased

to the advantage of the state. At the

present time, statistics tell us that 18.7

per cent of our improved land is grow-

ing legumes, mixed hay, clover, alfal-

fa, soy-beans, sweet clover, dry beans

and dry peas. Only two per cent of

the total improved land is in clover.

It is estimated that for the most eco-

nomic type of farming fully twenty-

five per cent of the improved land

should be planted to some kind of

legume.

question pertaining to their business. ,

“Say, Spengler, what you going to

do about flies this summer? What

kind of ‘dope’ you 'going to use? Last

summer the dope I bought didn’t seem

to do much good. What did you use?”

“I didn’t use any.” '

“That so? Why, man, I thought eve-v '

days. It’s advertised in all the» papers

and it makes the cows more comfort-

able, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, it keeps ‘the flies ofi pretty

good, helps about milking. But I got

in wrong on that stuff. I was told,

and I believed that cows would hold

up better on their milk in hot weather

if we could keep the flies from tor-

menting them so much. Then I read'

that it wasn’t the flies that made them

dr0p off on their milk,.but because

the pasture got short and they didn’

get enough to eat. ‘

“Now, Anderson, I’d never thought

of that. Funny thing, ain’t it, but a

fellow forgets that dry but weather

cuts the yield of pasture and he’s busy '

and lets. hergo. Well, when I read

that it kinda brought me up with a 7

snub. I made up my mind we’d see

about that, so last year I just cut out

the fly treatment altogether to make a

test. . '





“Well, the first thing I did was to

put that meadow over there into the

pasture. That increased my pasture

fully twenty-five per cent, and they

‘ kept right up on their flow of milk

all through July, but in August they

began to shrink, so I begun to feed

grain and hay in the barn. My. wife

said‘l’d have to buy hay and. by gosh,

I did, but we got. more milk than we

ever‘ did before. " Of course, they

twitched their tails more when we

milked, not having any fly medicine. *

The cows kept up in flesh, too', better

than ever before. ‘ ‘ ~





“I've made up my mind that if you

feed your pasture down close in June .

you got to make it up in some other

way, if you get the milk and keep

your cows up in flesh. I’ll admit I’ve

been careless about this question. I

DAIRYMEN’S LEAGUE HOLD AN-

NUAL MEETING.





ELEGATES representing the six-

ty-five thousand dairy farmers in

the New York area held\their annual





"meeting at Utica, New York, June 21.





The delegates favored the prohibi-

tion of the manufacture, sale and im~

portation of oleomargarine and kindred

products in the United States the

same as the Dominion of Canada in

the interest of the health and general

Welfare of her people has done.



During the past year the gross sales

of” the association have amounted to





over $80,000,000, an increase of $20,-1





000,000 over the preceding year.



The association on April 1, had 64,-

351 pooling contracts on hand, and

since that date contracts have been

coming in at the rate of about 600 a

month.



The treasurer’s annual report shows

that the assets of the organization





amount to over $19,000,000, of which





real estate and equipment make ‘up

about $6,000,000.



The marketing program is now be-

ing directed along two lines; first, the

development and expansionof the fluid

milk business, and second, the devel‘

Opment of the evaporated milk busi-

ness. In the matter of direct sales,

the organization reached a new high

level on' June 13, when 10,257 cans of

milk were marketed in New York City.

The association has adopted “Dairy-

lea” as the trade name for its dairy

products.



The association holds that the big

problem yet to be solved is the distri-

bution of milk in the metropolitan dis-

trict of New York City. Export sales

are being promoted. 0ver~100,000 cas-

es have been sold abroad since Janu-

ary 1. The league milk is now on sale

England, South Africa,

Palestine, Syria, Cuba and Panama.



4 Eighty-four plants are nowbeing op-

Of these, forty-six ship milk





goods and twenty-five make butter or

cheese.

Five veterinarians are employed by





'7 the assooiati’on for examining herds.

. bland dairy barns throughout the terri-

' ytory.’ The central laboratory at Utica

"hoops a daily check on'the character



and quality of every product put upon





' increase in the amount of high Qual-





bunch, uppity {one part r.ed





 





ity milk being delivered by the dairy-

men and a_ decrease in the percentage

of milk used for the manufacture of

cheese.



PriCes for the month of July for

th1ee per cent milk in the 201- 21-0 mile

zone are announced by the league offi—

cials as follows: Class 1, $2.33; Class

2—A, $2.05; Class 2-B, $2.40; Class 2-C.

$2.35; Class 3, and the remaining

classes are based upon the price of

butter.





BACK FIRES.

Do you plan your schedule of work

day by day, and as far as possible,

live up .to it?





Do you have a goal in sight, keep

your eye on it, and make your assets,

equipment and l1elpe1s assist you in

reaching that goal?





. Do you realize that the man who sat

0n the log and waited for sweat as a

preliminary to work, was entirely out-

distanced by the man who hustled af-

ter the job and got up sweat doing it?

Acute Indigestion—I have a mare,

about nine years old, that has just

had a. severe attack of acute indiges-

tion, and her general health is not

good, her coat is not f1esh. What can

I give her to impiove her health, also

guard against future attacks of indi—

gestion? Also, can a cu1e be expect-

ed? J. K., Goshen nId. —Functional

derangement of the stomach and bow-

els of the horse is ‘very common. When

a horse is constantly fed on bulky,

coarse food the stomach becomes dis-

tended. The distention taking place at

the expense of the walls of the stom—

ach, the walls become attenuated, and

when any acute form of disease at-

tacks the stomach, inptuie of the vis-

cus is likelier to occur than if the

1101se had been piopeily fed, and con-

sequently the stomach in a normal

condition. When the food does not

digest properly a condition as indiges-

tion becomes established. In a laige

majority of cases the intestines are

involved. Indigestion goes on quickly,

the stomach of the animal being veiy

small in proportion to the size of the

body. This is one of the wise p10-

visions of nature, and allows the horse

to undergo more or less severe exer-

tion after a full meal, without any

great amount of inconvenience. Sim-

ple indigestion is by no means uncom-

mon in the horse, and may be indirect-

ly caused by sharp and projecting

teeth, poor quality of food, etc. Acute

indigestion is a very common as well

as a very fatal disease. A common

cause is givingthe animal a big feed,

and then subjecting him to severe ex-

ertion. The exertion of traveling caus-

es the blood to be drawn away from

the stomach, where it is needed in the

process of digestion. Feeding largely

when the stomach is weakened is an-

other cause of the disease. Sometimes

a very slight change of food will cause

an attack of acute indigestion. It is

important to feed the animal a good

quality of food. in proper quantity, at

regular intervals. Don’t put her to se-

vere exertion immediately after a full

meal. It is also a mistake to allow her

to drink too much water at a time

when working. Avoid the causes I

have pointed out. Mix half a pound

of bicarbonate .of soda, one pound of

common salt, and two pounds of Glaub-

er’s salt together. Give a tablespoou—

'ful in each feed.

T has been annouil-Ced by' the Gen-

. tral Freight Association that the

plea of the Michigan Bean Jobbers’





I1“"ii0.rganization for a reduction in the

Aston-over rate changed for inspecting





beans at Grand Rapids, Saginaw. Port





91 ,Huron and Detroit has been heard and





 





 





the rate reduced from “$6.30 to $2.70

per car. Under this new arrangement,

the six bean inspectors in the state





@will find it less difficult to examine





’ I





shipments since all cars can be routed

through one of the four terminals for

inspection service.





 





EXCEEDS LAST YEAR’S SHIP-

MENTS.





HE sales of potatoes made by the



Michigan Potato Growers' Ex-

change this season "will reach the 3,000

car mark, or about 500 more than last

year. A uniform and healthy growth

has marked the whole, history of this

big commodity organization.





OPENS OFFICE AT EDMORE.





HE Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex«

change has opened a branch sales





office at Edmore to take care of the

.rapidly increasing business from the

. Montcalm-Mecosta,





territory. George

Wager, a well-known potato buyer and

salesman, has been engaged for branch

manager.





RULING A BLOW TO CONTRACT

TRUCKING.





HE opinion rcently received by



the State Public Utilities Commis

sion from the attorney-general's office,

holds that contract trucks must oper-

ate under the provisions of the com<

mon carrier act passed by the last leg-

islature.‘ The attorney-general con-

tends that the operators of contract

trucks must secure common carrier





- permits, pay the necessary fees and





I tions. Owing to the large number of ‘

farmers and other people interested in“

this opinion, it :is expected» that a com;





plete code of regulations to govern

motor vehicle carriers will be drafted

by the. commission soon.





ELECT DIRECTORS OF LANo

BANK.





HE Federal Land Bank of St. Paul



has finally reached a' permanent

basis as contemplated in the federal

loan act through the recent reorgani—

zation, the election of officers and ap‘

pointment of directors. The district

directors are: E. C. Quamme, H. K.

Jennings and Paul A. Preus; director

at large, B. F. Feast, Wisconsin; di-

rector for the third division, Michigan

and Wisconsin, E. J. Van Leuven, of

Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It is antici-

pated that with this organization,

more interest and more satisfactory

results. will be secured. The total re-

sources of this bank are now over a

hundred million dollars, making it the

largest financial institution in the

northwest.





MR. PUGSLEY RESIGNS.





R. CHARLES W. PUGSLEY, for



the past two years assistant sec~

retary of agriculture, has tendered his

resignation, effective October 1, to be-

come the president of the South Da-

kota Agricultural College.



In his letter of resignation, Mr.

Pugsley said he felt he had made his

contribution toward efficient, business-

like administration of government af-

fairs. One reason pointed out by Mr.

Pugsley for his resignation was the

insufficient salary, which was not

enough to enable an assistant secre-

tary to serve long without other in-

come.





None of us can control the weather,

but we can have jobs ready and wait-

ing for all kinds of weather.

DON’T suppose any one else has

so much trouble as we have these

days. At least I hope not. It has

been just one thing after another for

a. month past, and “the greatest of

these" is waiting for repairs to come.

Delays of five to. ten days each time

repairs had to be ordered, was more

than we had counted on. Hence. we

are. as one of' the neighbors put his

case recently. “hopelessly behind."





It will no doubt ,result in a Change

of plans that will mean the cutting of

~some fifteen acres more hay, and the

summer fallowing of one field that we

had intended to plant to beans. By

so doing we should be able to keep the

rest of the work up in fairly good





shape, and in the end come out as





'Well or better than if we should insist

on carrying out the original plans, and

be late all arOun'd.





Dragging the Alfalfa.





We have a small plot ’of Hardigan -





alflalfa that we have been growing for

need. It was sown in the spring of

1922 with seed furnished by the Mich-

igan Crop Improvement Association.





. The soil where it was sown is very





"avariable and we are-learning some val-

, nimble lessons from watching its devel-

“f'opment on the different types of soil.

It does not look much like an alfalfa

field now, to be sure, but we surely

have headed off a lot of grass and

weeds that otherwise would have of-

be allowed to mature its seed.





An Abundance of Grass.



In a drive across country the last

week we have been much impressed

with the wealth and profusion of the

earth’s natural covering of grasses.

Through the counties of Ogemaw,

Gladwin and Clare there will be thou-

sands of acres and thousands of tons

of rich grasses and clOVers that will

go back to the land this season. Not

all of the abandoned acres in this ter-

ritory are~ productive of rich grasses,

to be sure, but there are extensive

areas that are, and there is surely

some way that they can be utilized

with profit.





It looks to me like a grazing propo-

sition, pure and simple, and the man

who can solve the details of the prob-

lem, will find in much of this northern

county a chance to convert enormous

quantities of” these rich graSses into

prime beef, and milk, and wool, and

mutton. He should see to it, however,

that it is prime beef and not- scrub

beef that is used in the conversion

process: otherwise. the grass may

serve mankind better to return to the

ISQARLIATINA IS SCARLET FEVER.



WANT to point a moral by citing

I a case of “scarlatina” that has just,



been brought to my notice. The

. little chap did not seem to be very ill,

and the parents were very much re-

lieved when a “friendly” doctor said

it was only scarlatina and would not

amount to much. A week later the

child had a very bad earache. After

much suffering the ears began to give

out a running discharge. The pain

was somewhat better so they were

satisfied to call the friendly doctor on

the telephone and receive his assur-





 





ance that no treatment was necessary

and everything would be all right. i





Everything was not all r.ight Six:





weeks later the ear discharge was still

, at the houSe fox 3. day went back to'

rhis home and developed a malignant

form of scarlet fever.

able to connect his case with that.

.Then the paients woke to the fact

that the “l1iendly” doctor had done





1 them a ve1y unkind deed, indeed. They‘ .

' we1e still more positive of this when: :

‘ investigation by an ear specialistr _'





.showed that the untreated discharge

from their boy’s ears had resulted in'

such destruction that‘he would always

be very deaf; perhaps totally. ' 7

RUNNING EAR.





My boy has a 1unning ear following

earache. How often should' . syringe

it? Is once a day enough?—-J. F. G.



No. Don’t syringe it at all. The

discharge indicates a ruptured ear

drum. If left alone it has a good

'chance to heal, but the use of a sy-

‘ringe breaks down the repair tissue.

If the ear continues to run, after an

interval of a week or two, be sure to

hearing may depend upon it.

RED NOSE.





I am going to ask you about my

on the inside for eight or nine years;

-- they never die





Mr. Wesley Overton, Bridgeport, Oklahoma, owns {our 011.-

PULLS. In a recent letter he says, “I have put these OIL-

PULLS in places where a good horse could not go and they

pulled out easily. They are a good investment. I have neVer





found an OILPULL in the scrap pile. They seem to be like "





i”





the old gray mule—they never die.





Long life 18 only one result that comes from the careful build-

ing of the OILPULL. Letters received from every section of

the country mention this. But there also are thousands of

other letters which point out'the unusual dependability—the





great saving in fuel—4the remarkably low upkeep cost—farmers

are experiencing. Allure largely the result of Triple Heat .-





Control, dual lubrication and other OILPULL features. We





have pointed these things'out to you for seme time. These-





letters give the verdict 'of the farmer himself—the man who





has used the OILPULL and knows from experience.





Write for letters from your district





No matter where you are located we can send you letters from your dis-

trict—maybe from neighbors—who have used and proved out the OIL-

PULL. Reud these letters. They are interesting. They are convincing.

They tell the story of the OILPULL from YOUR side. Just ask us to send

along the letter. We will include our new booklet on Triple Heat Control

and other interesting literature.
