HE fair season is at hand Al-

.;::ready stockmen have looked



over the premium lists to see

1 how well they can fillrit. Our coun-

try fairs ar'e county promotion enter-





prises primarily; they are not pet;

exhibitions of the Officers, and al-

though fair officers are often an





abused lot, they are invariably public



benefactors, giving their best services



for the promotion and development

of community interests.



’ Too often exhibitors look upon their

show efforts from a rivalry making

standpoint only. Of course, a certain

amount of premium money is neces-



{ sary in order to leave a satisfactory



taste in the mouth of the showman.



He spends a tedious week, .washing



and grooming his charges, constantly



cleaning stables, and forever answer-1

ing questions, wise _ and otherwise.



He loves his charges, he loves the



strife of a healthy contest, and natur-



ally likes to see the prizes come his

way.



But the money war is notXthe sole

benefit. The advertising value of a

week’s exhibition of one’s wares,

whether they be cattle or cantaloupes

or candles, is well worth the effort.

, HERE are today numerous in-

' stances which demonstrate that



a man can achieve success ‘by

migrating from city to country as.

well as traveling the reverse route.

All of which proves that the man him-

self is a far more important consider-





‘ ation than location.

1 The case of George Hubert affords

{’1 an excellent illustration. For six





1 years Hubert worked in the automo—

i tive factories of Detroit, Flint and

other Michigan cities. As salaries

go, he was not doing so badly, but

when bigger things persistently failed

" to come his way he concluded that

V, honesty, integrity and industry are

not always as handsomely rewarded

as many wiseacres are leading the

’ ’ public to believe. {

Hubert finally decided that the

,& quickest, easiest and best route to the

3. kind of an income that matched his

ambition was 4a business of his own,

where his financial return would be

directly dependent on the intelligent

effort he put forth. He Was thirty-

five years old, and with a wife and

two children dependent on him, he

realized it was time he was making

some real progress in the direction

of financial independence. After look—

ing over the field carefully, he could

think of nothing which he thought

offered a greater opportunity than

‘1, farming.

‘ With his mind fully made up in this

~ direction, Hubert began to work out

How I Do It and Wflat I Get Out of It

By P. P. Pope ' ,





More prospective customers will in-



spect your exhibits at the county fair



in one week, than will visit your



farm to see them' in a whole year.

Its Highest Estate.



The county fair reaches its high-

est estate, however, when the ex-

hibitors can look upon it as a pro-

motion enterprise, as a means of fix-

ing higher ideals in the minds of men

and women. When numerous local

exhibitors make their exhibits with

the big idea of showing to the world

in attractive form the resources of

their respective communities, they are

looking upon the fair business from

the right viewpoint. It is this pride

in one’s own community, and in the



accomplishments of its people, that

lends the right spirit to the occasion,

that gives to the county a high

standing throughout the country, and

that ultimately causes the premium

lists‘to grow, the attendance to swell,

and the advertising benefits to multi-

ply



'Preparations for the Show.

It is with all of these objects in





view that it has become a sort of cus-

tom with us here on Francisco Farm

to stick up a few horses, carrell some

of the cattle and sometimes dress up

a lot of hogs to take to the county

fair. We only have a few miles to

go so it makes it easy to move over

the first of the week and back Satur-

day night. The whole week is given

over entirely to the fair and the whole

force thinks of little else.



lVe pitch a tent in a convenient

place, arrange a comfortable bed, take

along a chest full of tools and equip-

ment, and some grain for the stock,—~

the fair company furnishes hay and

bedding—and camp out for the week.

It is a hard life, of course, but like

other sorts of camp outfits, is not

without its enjoyable features.



Much of the Week previous is often

given over to preparation for the

event There may be feet to t1im,

horns to» soiape and polish, halte1s

to make, and calves and colts to

break to lead. It saves lots of un-

easyness and worly during the first

days of the fair, on the part (if the

He also had a fair start in poul-

try. He had, too, what was worth

thousands of dollars more— a deter-

mination to apply himself one hun-

dred per cent to the accomplishment

of the task before him.



Now, it must not be surmised that

Hubert’s rise in the farming industry

was meteor-like. He had his troubles

and discouragements. He says he will

never forget how gloomy things look-



ed to him one dismal night in the fall

of his first year on the fa1m as he





sat at the kitchen table with an array

of» figures before him that told their

own agonizing story. His total net

earnings were less than half what he

could have saved from the salary he

had been accustomed to earning, to

say nothing of interest 011 investment,

and he had worked much harder.

Crops had been fairly good, it is

true, but the prices he was able to

command at points within the narrow

radius of his delivery facilities were

distressingly low—far below what he

knew the same products were bring-

ing in city markets. He figured

roughly‘ the difference on two or

three products and realized that ads-

off the grass and accustomed to dry

handling and a little grain, they will

soon adapt themselves to the change

and apparently enjoy it.



The p1ofessional showman who fol-

lows a fair circuit, or shows at the

state fails, will of course need to

pxactice 1n01e thorough fitting, in

keeping with the keen competition

which he will meet, but high fitting

is not necessary or advisable f01 the

farmer who keeps good stock and

pationizes his home fair only.



Theie is much good training to he

seemed 110m an effort to make the

home fair 21 success. The horses, the

cattle, the hogs, and the sheep will

all take 011 new manners and give to

the owner greater satisfaction in pos-

sessing and caring for them, and the

benefits resulting to the whole com-

munity will show up in an even in-

creasing ratio. It is safe to say, how-

ever, that no one individual will pro-

fit like the exhibitor himself, Who

should ever remember that it is easy

to be a good winner, but that it takes

a real sure enough sportsman to be

a graceful loser.

quate transportation would have

turned an unsuccessful season into a

thoroughly profitable one.



A motor truck was, of course, the

logical solution, and although it

meant an additional investment, Hu-

bert decided, after thinking the mat-

ter very carefully, that it would be

sheer folly to permit such a manifest

essential to his farm equipment to

stand between him and the success

he aimed at.



With this point settled, Hubert

spent a good portion of the winter

months planning for the coming sea-

son. He read volumes in the farm

papers and sought other authorative

sources of information. He found the

subject of poultry-raising particularly

interesting, so much so that he decid-

ed to make this a still more important

branch of his business.



With the coming of the next spring,

Hubert found that the carrying out

of his plans meant a total investment?

of several times the amount he had

earned the year before. It meant bor-

rowing money, but with the determin-

ation either to score a real success

or die with his boots on, he made the

plunge.



Anyone who has ever dealt in high

class poultry knows something of the

outlay required to get started on even

a comparatively small scale. It cost

Hubert $1,800 for eggs, chickens,

hatching equipment, etc.



It cost him $1,625 more for a one-

ton rapid truck with express body.

This vehicle, equipped with pneumatic

tires, provided him a road speed of

thirty~five to forty miles per hour

with capacity load, which placed with-

in easy reach theattractive markets

Flint. ,



The first results of his motor truck ,

investment began to materialize when

VOLUME CLXI NUMBER NINE





DETROIT, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923

CURRENT COMMENT





IGH prices for



factory products

which farmers must

buy are due chiefly to

high wages in indus-

try and commerce,

but those selfsame wages explain the

record rate at which many farm prod-

ucts are being consumed. At least a

few crumbs from the urban prosperity

banquet table are falling to the

farmer.



More butter, cheese, eggs and poul-

try are disappearing into consumptive

channels as shown by the combined

records for Chicago, New York, Bos-

ton and Philadelphia than ever before

at this time of year. The hog market

is handling the largest summer runs

ever known and per capita consump-

tion of pork in the last twelve months

has shown a phenomenal increase.

Nor is this heavy cOnsumption of pork

at the expense of the market for beef.

Receipts of cattle are as heavy as a

year ago and prices are higher.



The production of the amount of

live stock, dairy and poultry products

required to satisfy this demand re-

quires heavy farm consumption of the

feed grains, hay and forage and as—





 





ques and

these crops which are sold from





farms. The wheat and rye situation

will be partly cured by the same

means.





Index numbers of retail prices of

twenty-two principal articles of food

in the United States were 3.5 per cent

higher in July than a year previous.

Clothing prices certainly are higher.

Not only is the consumer buying more

but he is paying more per unit.



Wholesale prices for farm products

on August 23, 1923, and a year ago,

afford cross sections of the markets

in which some improvement in the

farm situation is plainly evident. Sev-

enteen out of the twenty-four leading

farm products are higher than a year

ago, one is unchanged; minor declines

have occurred in four, and only two

are decidedly lower than a year ago.

ers,” so called,

are often a Source of

diversion and amuse-

ment to the “dirt"

farmers in the com-

munities where they acquire their ag-

ricultural experience. But sometimes

the city farmer comes out at the top

of the heap in the end, so far as pro-

fitable farming is concerned.



In this race for success on the farm

under unfavorable economic condi-

tions the city farmer has one import-

ant advantage over many of us dirt

farmers, which goes a long way to—

ward overcoming his handicap. True,

he doesn’t know much about farming,

but he knows this as well as do his

critics. He expects to make mistakes

and generally does on a rather large

scale, but if he is a good business

man, as many of them are, he seldom

makes the same mistake twice. Re-

alizing his lack of practical know—

ledge of farming he reads, studies, in-

quires and observes more thoroughly

than many of us who have had longer

experience and a better practical

knowledge of the business. He will

try out almost any idea which appeals

to him as feasible, at least once. He

keeps an accurate account of this

farm business and thus knows better

where his losses were incurred. And

with this knowledge at hand he re-

Vises his scheme of management, to

conform to the conditions under

which he must operate. instead\ of

going ahead under the old plan and

howling for changed conditions.



Of course there are many kinds and

grades of “city” farmers, as there are

of “dirt" farmers. And the best half

of them are performing a real service

for agriculture through experiments

which the average farmer cannot

afford to make on his own account.

some of our state parks. ,



He voiced the thought of most all

who have gone on such a trip, that

it is “the only life.” He commented

upon the fine pe‘ople met at these

parks and the feeling of friendliness

which prevails on the road. These

have been mentioned'many times by

others. But one thought he brought

out remained strongly in our minds,

and that was with reference to

courtesy. '



He commented upon the willingness

with which one gave road room to the

other. There was no indication of

selfishness, but everybody seemed to

have due consideration for the other

fellow.



He ended his remarks by saying,





“Talk about courtesy. They don’t

have to teach it there, they have it

already.”





Perhaps courtesy prevails in the

rural sections because being out in

God's'open country inclines to make

one forget self and selfish purposes.



In great contrast is the city where

there is the mad rush, each one for

himself, _and where Courtesy First

signs are posted to remind one that

the other fellow needs consideration.



This man’s observations seem to

indicate that country “Rubes” do not

have to be trained to be gentlemen,

because they are that by inclination.

at the calendar to see what was i

Only one thing she see was differ

unt than the others was the first Mon.

in September had a red number three

under it. Sophie asked what that was

and I says it was Labor DaY.



She ast me what Labor Day was,

and I says it was

don’t labor. In-

stead he’s parad- i

in’ around cele-

is gettin’ twict as . ,

much money for

laboring as he used to do.



Labor Day is the national holiday

showin’ due respect to the man what

labors istead of works. .All the rest

of us what work don’t have no holi- ‘1

day, cause for us farmers everyday ‘

is work day, and therefore bein’ so

common,_ it ain’t no use for cele- ?

bratin'! .



Anyhow, its alright for Labor to

celebrate ’causethey got their wages ‘2

so high it takes 17 bushels of corn, 3‘

or about. half an acre, to pay a brick- "

layer for one day, and 23 chickens to "

pay a painter for one day’s paintin’



‘and etc. If that bricklayer works 250



days a year it’ll take 125 acres a corn.



to keep him agoin’, and etc. No won-V

just gotta do it, ’cause we gotta keep ‘

these buildin’ folks agoin’ so they kin



build these city homes where‘folks



kin push a button and have somethin’



else do the work for them. And it



takes a lot a corn, chickens, hogs,

butter & eggs to get them .built.



' Now, Labor Day is alright ’cause



it gives the poor offus folks a extra

holiday so they kin go out in the

country and. injoy nature and the

human nature they bring along with



them. But it seems to me that these ‘ r’

A Form W oman Provo: to Her Hmomzo/ toot It 1572’ 1‘ So wzto Her Poultry

By J. A. Jones





VTHE poultry business as a side—





line to farming, gardening, and

even in the case of office and factory

workers, is looking up. Not so many





- people as formerly, consider the hen

a necessary nuisance, and in numer-





ous instances, the farmer regards a





neck of hens as a valuable asset.

disease expert; C. M. Ferguson,

Manager Michigan Laying Contest,

and Prof. E. C. Foreman, M. A. C.





a.





Small town dwellers consider the

keeping of a small flock a saving in

living expenses, and are further in-

fluenced in the 'matter, by the fact

that fresh eggs are nearly always

available. It is couvenient, too, to be

able to go to one’s own poultry-yard

and get a chicken for Sunday dinner.



But while the hen has gained much

in favor, much yet remains to be ac-

complished. Many farmers and town

dwellers still regard the hen as a lia-

bility rather than an asset. In view





'of this fact, the experience of Mrs.





J. A. C. Smith of Jonesville, is in-

teresting and instructive. Mrs. Smith’s

husband. was one of those who con-

sidered the hen unprofitable. He re-

marked that “The chickens were eat-

ing their heads off.” In answer to

this assertion, Mrs. Smith began keep—

ing an accurate account of her flock.

With the most meager and simple ac-

COmmodations, and with but a small

flock, Mrs. Smith has achieved, dur-

ing a year and a half, some interest-

ing things. The hen-coop at the Smith

place, is small and made from boxes,

and the adjoining scratching—room is

an old stable. From the accurate rec-

ord, we gleam the following facts:

Mrs. Smith began with a flock of

20 Rhode Island Red pullets.- At the





least fit.

4 of them raised chickens. At the end

of this six—month period, the income

from the flock in dollars and cents,

exceeded the expense account by only

a few dollars. But the real result is

found in the fact that Mrs. Smith had

a fine flock of 53 chickens, some of

them weighing more than three

pounds each. She also had on hand,

8 hens kept from the year before,

which she expected to sell, in a few

days at the high prices which'general—

ly prevail in mid-summer.



The foregoing are the outstanding

facts gleaned from Mrs. Smith’s de-

tailed and accurate memorandum. As

before stated, the experiment has

been on a small' scale and with mea-





ger accomodations. But for that very





reason, the record is of interest to

W flora Téoso from Nature’s PIG/0’s Bring Profits

By Frank A. Wilken





SHORT time ago we were fliv-



vering east from "Scottville,



Mason County, in search of a

town. After we had gone what we

thought was the proper distance, we

accosted a wayfarer .of Teutonic hear-

ing and asked him where Walhalla

was. He said, “You’ve gone through

it.” This was an entire surprise to

us, as we had seen nothing which





' found Mrs.. Jaser





that itS'inhabitants will do the best.



Although Mr. Jaser, the manager,

said “There is nobody there,” we

pheasants, as well as a man working

around the barns. The young pheas-

we thought that euphonic name oughtants are lively fellows which look like





to be attached to.



Then we asked him where Emerson

Lake was and he said “Right ahead

of you.” Next, we asked the location

[of a certain farm and he told us, but

he said, “It won’t do you. any good to

I am the

manager and am on the way to the

post-office at Walhalla.”



We made ourselves known, and

then he offered to‘ go back with us.

In that‘way we found the‘Wilkinson-

McGee farm at the first turn to the

left at the foot’of the hill on the

banks of Emerson Lake. ‘





With the manager of the place in





our car, we recki'essly passed signs

forbidding further entrance into the





 





little chicks, only different There

were Ring-necks, Reeves and other

kinds running about. Every little

while, Mr. Jaser would say, “There

runs a,twenty-five dollar bill.” We

took that for granted, for when it

comes to pheasants we could not tell

a twenty-five ‘dollar bill from a five

dollar one. But ' upon explanation

from Mr. Jaser, we learned that the

high-priced ones were Reeves pheas-

ants which sold for $50.00 a pair.

When mature they have golden plum-

age with red wing and tail feathers,

beautiful crest, and handsome tails,

often eight feet long. These are sold

to game reserves and private estates,

but the common ring-necks are usual-

ly sold to hotels which cater to the

elite, or, to those, who have velvet-

aimed pocketbooks t *





..‘\s.. vast an.





Mrs. JaSer, a’ neat and wholesome





lady, explained the feeding of the

young pheasants. They receive a mix—

ture of grains similar to young chick-

ens, but they have a delicacy which

little chicks do not have. This con—

sists of specially raised maggots.

These are the common ordinary mag—

gots which are produced by exposing

a chunk of beef or veal to the flies,

but are given unusual care. The mag—

gots drop to a pan below the meat

and are gathered up and covered with

about six inches of bran. They eat

their way through the bran and are

very plump when they come to the

surface. Then they need further

treatment to purify them. Therefore,

they are covered with about four

inches of sand, through which they

work their way to the top.

they come to the top they are clean,

plump, pure white, and ready to feed

to the young five and twenty-five dol-

lar bills running about.



Near the water we saw, fenced in,

some wild Mallard ducks for which

there is always a ready market. And

just beyond, roaming near the water,





' of two-year—old elk.





When,





were over a dozen wild Canadian

geese, nice big fellows who stayed

around because their wings were

clipped. Mr. Jaser said that the

goose was the most foolish of birds.

The whole flock always followed their

leader, usually a gander. If he chose

to go into a fire, all would follow.

Out west where they are plentiful, a.

good marksman will shoot down the

leader when on wing and the whole'

flock will come tumbling down with

him. Then the rest of the flock is

killed with clubs.



In their natural habitat, except for

a wire enclosure, we saw a fine pair

Mr. Jaser took

us still further in the thick woods to

another wire enclosure and called

“Rex,” and there came bounding to

us, like a dog, a buck deer. His mate,

however, stayed a respectful distance

in the back ground.



Rex is a family pet. A year ago

last winter, Mr. Jasper found him,

young and wounded in the hind leg,

on one of his hunting expeditions.

He brought him home and nursed him

with a bottle. Soon Rex followed Mr.

Jasper everywhere. When trips were

as any dog. And if Mr Jaser would

' start off without him, he would ever-





take him on the road and get into

the machine. > ,



Rex was ' perfectly happy in the

auto until they would stop at a store,

when he would get out and go in the

store to help himself to crackers or

anything handy, much to the discom-

fort of the storekeeper. He became

quite a nuisance in that way, So Mr.

Jaser got him a mate and penned

him in. Now, whenever he is called

he expects a chew of tobacco, of

which he is very fond. They say

tobacco keeps him free from worms.



After we left Rex, we inspected the

most interesting rabbitery I ever saw.

Within a house there were several

dozen hutches 'which contained large

rabbits, about the size of the Flemish

Giant. These were imported from

Servia, and are very rare in this coun-

try. There have been only eleven

pair imported, of which the Wilkin-





son-McGee Reserve has seven. The

freight alone on these seven pair

came to over $700.00. The rabbits





are valuable because from them the

Chinchilla fur is made.



Then we saw a red fox, the real

sly reynard of the woods, and a black

squirrel, which is quite rare, after

which we came to the poultry depart‘

ment. Here were some Chinese Silky

chickens, whose feathers are more

hairy than feathery. The faces and





 





And Mr. JaSer claimed that no one

ever put into his mouth a better piece

of chicken than that of the Silkies.

There were also other chickens which

looked like a cross between a White

Rock and some other bird. They were

larger than the Rock and the feathers

looked somewhat like ostrich feathers.

The feathers, we were told, were

used to make summer furs for milady.



After we had been given this course

in nature study, we were taken to the

real business end of the reserve, the

silver fox ranch. Here in the deep

woods, surrounded by a high board

fence, were wired pens with twenty-

five pairs of foxes and their pups.





These were'all imported from Prince;





Edward Island. They were all high—

grade stock, scoring 90 points or more

out of a possible 100. They were also

all advance registered stuff. Being

under the care of a fox expert who

came with them from Canada, they

are assured the good care that should

go with their high breeding.



Extreme care and seclusion is not

necessary for foxes except during the

breeding time in December and Jan-

uary, and at the time the young are

born in the spring. Then it is very

necessary. If the foxes are disturbed

at breeding time, they do not breed,

and if they are [frightened when the

young are still nursing, the mother

hides them; and if unduly frightened,

she kills them rather than give them





 





apparent why every care is taken at

these two periods.

When the mother is nursing the





young, she ”keeps them in the burrow,

;\while the father remains outside. He





is on guard and brings the food to





, the opening of the burrow, but under





no consideration does he go in. If

he attempts to, he is severely fought

off by the mother.





When one understands the nervous





nature of the fox, fox raising presents

no great difficulties.

tial is cleanliness. The feeding is

much like that of a dog and the cost

about the same as the keep of a dog.

It is very small compared with the





-value of the pelts.

Mr. McGee, one of the owners of"





the ranch, says one of the great es-

sentials of success in fox raising is

high- grade foundation stock. Nothing

scoring under 85 points should be

used. Poor stock means low_prices

for their pelts, and is a detriment to

the industry as a whole. Using such

stock is an almost certain way to

make a. failure out of the business.

There is no doubt as to the future

of the fox business, says Mr. McGee,

as there is great need for the conser-

vation of fur-bearing animals and the

silver black fox grows the'finest fur

produced. Because of this, the black

fox business is rapidly developing in—

to one of the most profitable lines of

ated black fox department , of“ the

West Michigan Fair at Grand Rapids.

In this department foxes willbe' e14

hibited and will compete for prizes

as in other livestock departments.



After we visited the culinary de-

partment of the fox ranch, which was

kept as clean as any kitchen, we took

a look at the pheasant pens. It was

not the time of the year when pheas-

ants looked their best, but still they

were mighty good to look at. Inter-

esting among them was a pairsent

to Mr. Jaser by a soldier from Man-

churia. These were unique in appear—

ance with their all black feathers and

red crests. They have never become

sufficiently accustomed to our climate

to reproduce themselves.



It was dusk, so we offered to take

Mr. Jaser to the post—office where he

was going when We met him. ‘He‘ and

his pipe with its China bowl went

with us a mile and got off at a road

crossing, leaving with us the thought

that the post-office was just a few

steps away. At that, we do not recall

having seen Walhalla. However, we

did not mind this, as we had been

fully repaid for our trip by a visit at

what we think is the most unique and

efficient game reserve in the state.





 





 





 





 





LATE AGRICULTURAL NEWS





 





 





 





ATTENDING TO THE FUEL

SITUATION.





RESIDENT COO-LIDGE, just now,



is more disturbed about coal than

he is about wheat; that does not

mean that he is ignoring the wheat

problem, but that he has apparently

come to the conclusion similar to that

of Mr. Silver and Mr. Barnes, that

goverment action is not to be taken,

and if taken will not help the wheat

grower very much, while very definite

government action may be needed,

and can help very greatly in the coal

controversy.



Mr. Silver was one of President

Coolidge’s callers on Tuesday of this

week, presentinga statement prepared

by the American Farm Bureau Feder-

ation, following a thorough study of

the wheat situation. The President

Silver to come back for a9

longer discussion of the problem, after

he had found time to fully digest the

statement as presented.-





FINDS EUROPEAN FARMERS

BUSY.





8ECRETARY of the Treasury An-

drew W. Mellon, just home from

Europe, has given out statements

commenting in optimistic terms as to

the European situation, basing this

optimism on the splendid agricultur-

al outlook he found there. Crops were

fine in all parts of Western Europe,

he said, and people were busy, happy

and contented.



These observations are confirmed

by others just home from across the

Atlantic. Former Secretary Slattery

of the National Conservation Con-

gress told a group of Agriculture

workers at a. luncheon here Tuesday,

that he had visited Italy, the Balkan

states, Germany and France, finding

the peasant farmers everywhere busy

and with good crops and a large de-





mand for their products. The Italian

peasants, hesaid, were going through

an unusual revival of patriotic en-

thusiasm. He pointed out that this

seemed to him, to presage a very





- serious incline in European purchases





of American farm products.





Mr. Mellon did not say this, but it

is hard to take his View of the agri-

cultural and industrial situation in

Europe seriously without reading be-

tween the lines that temporarilly, at

least, until an industrial revival there

follows the agricultural revival, they

will be producing more than in the

past of their own food requirements.





MICHIGAN FARMERS SEE WASH-

INGTON.





 





HE Michigan Automobile Tour



spent five days in Washington

the past week, the turning point and

objective of the 1923 trip of this cara—

van being the National Capital, and

its points of interest. There were

about 125 cars, and 400 people, mostly

farmers and Grangers. This is an

organized caravan now in its seventh

year. Next year, Manager J. H.

Brown says, that he will conduct a

special National Grange tour to Ply-.

mouth Rock, Mass.





The arrival of the auto caravan

was delayed one day by the heavy

rain which marooned the party at

Winchester in the historic Shenando-

ah valley. They arrived here Satur-

day afternoon, were met and escorted

to their camp by a motor-cycle squad

and representatives of the National

Grange and .the American Automobile

Association.



Sunday there were religious ser-

vices in the camp ground at night.

Monday evening there was an address

of welcome by A. M. Loomis, repre-

senting the Washington office of the

National Grange, addresses by Secre-

tary-of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace,





 





 





 





President H. E. Van Norman. of the

World Dairy-Congress, and Louis J.

Taber of Cleveland, Ohio, former Mas-

ter of the Ohio State Grange, and a

response on behalf of the tourists by

Harry A. Caton, Master of the-Ohio

State Grange. Tuesday evening the

Motion Picture service of the United

States Department of Agriculture put

on an instructiVe program, and the

work of this branch of the Depart-

ment Extension service was fully ex-

plained.





OLEO BOOTLEGGERS BUSY.





 





IEZURE in the Washington mar-



kets of several hundred packages

of some product which looks and

tastes like butter, but which. is said

by Pure ‘Food inspectors and internal

revenue agents to be butter mixed

with some foreignfat, again calls at-

tention to the attempts at Oleomar-





'garine “bootlegging” going on in vari-





ous parts of the country.





The comparatively high , price of

butter fat, the public demand for this

fat because of the general knowledge

of the fact that butter alone of the

edible fats carries sufficient vitamines

for health and growth, and the low

prices of other fats, especially cocoa-

nut oil from the Phillipines where

there can be no tariff barrier, makes

it an attractive money-making scheme

to mix the two and try to sell them

as butter, ins‘tead'of obeying the law,

labeling the mixture “Oleomargarine”

and paying the necessary license and

small tax. The stuff siezed lecally is

said to have been shipped by two

large and reputable concerns, and an

investigation, is being made. Other

cases are pending in Baltimore and.

in Providence, Rhode Island. The In-

ternal Revenue Bureau and the pure

food inspectors are as active in run-

ning down such frauds as the money

available will permit.





 





DATES FOR ANNUAL FOX SHOW.





 





THE annual meeting of the Nation-



al Silver Fox Breeders Associa-

tion of America will be held at Mil-

waukee, on November 22-26. Many

Michigan breeders are planning to at-

tend this event. There is now o'ver

property of the Rev. Dr.“Uriah Myers,

which'is fifty-one years old and rated

the Oldest horse in the world. As a

resembling that of Rysdyk’s Hamble—

tonian. At fifteen years of age he

came into the possession of Dr. My-

ers and for thirty-five years has loyal-

ly served his ministerial master.

Clover has a certain sporting look

even yet. He stands a bit crocky to-

day, for his half-century legs that car-

ried him a mile in the blue grass

country when Jay Eye See wasn’t

even'foaled, never were mates. Od-

dly enough Clover isn’t lame, because

the hoof of the shorter leg is longer

and equalizes its length to that of the

longer foreleg. He stands sixteen





hands and weighs about 1,200 pounds,‘

care his master has given. him. His

ration, twice daily, consists of one



' scoop of bran, 'one of middlings, and

two of a mixture of oats, clover and

molasses, topped off with three ears

of corn. It takes him a long time to

eat this, and he masticates slowly.





According to‘ the veternarian who



' examined Clover recently, the horse

is sound in wind and has wonderfully

clean legs, and there isa lustre to his

coat that is remarkable in an animal

so old. Undoubtedly his owner’s prac-

tice of clipping him regularly every

MICHIGAN STILL HAS TIMBER





 





HILE Michigan has dropped far

behind in the production of soft

woods, she still maintains a. com-

mendable place in the production of

hard wood. When our magnificent

white pine was harvested, the belief





was general that our lumbering in-

dustry was at an end. Census figures

of the federal forest service indicate

that this belief is far from the truth.

Michigan still leads all the states in

the production of beech and maple

and is second in birch, elm and bass-

wood. In 1920 there were 243 saw-

mills in operation.



This does not mean that there is

no need of an adequate forestry pol-

icy. The fact that lumber is so

scarce emphasizes the necessity for

rehabilitating large sections of cut-

over land which is suitable only for

the growing of trees. »

I wish infmmation regarding what

seems to be a cucumber blight. The

leaves are affected first, finally the

whole plant. Many of the plants are





 





affected. I have about a half acre.

—— A. W

Each year, during the first half. of





the season, especially, growers of cu-

cumbers and muskmelons become

greatly alarmed over a wilting disease

of various cucurbits which manifests

itself by wilting of leaf‘here and

there and which quickly advances to

involve a runner or perhaps a whole

plant.

The common cause of this is a bac-

terial parasite which is carried to the

. plants in the early part of the season

by the striped beetle and which is

then carried from plant to plant by

various other insect agents such as

squash bugs, etc. This parasite lives

in the water tubes, plugging them

with a bacterial slime, thus causing





HOW





the strawberry crop was ready to

move. He hauled a load to Saginaw,

sixty miles distant, where the price

was $1.50 a case more than the local

market quotation. He could easily

haul fifty cases, so you can figure for

your self what transportation was

doing toward putting his farm 011 a

better paying basis.



> Cantaloupe and other early vege-

table products he hauled chiefly to

Detroit, on which he figured an av-

erage of forty dollars profit per trip,

after deducting total transportation





costs. Detroit is 160 miles from the

”Hubert farm, and the round-trip is

made in twelve to fourteen hours.





Hubert leaves home at 2 A. M. and

arrives in Detroit about 9:00, in time

to get his produce 011 the market.



Practically the entire pear crop

was also marketed in Detroit. The 10-

cal price was $1.25 per bushel; the

Detroit price $2.50. He could haul

fifty bushels per load, which netted

him $38.84 per trip more than the

same number of bushels would have

brought 011 the local market after de-

ducting $23.66, the cost of making

the round-trip to Detroit. How this

figure is arrived at is explained later

on.



Here is another thing Hubert did

to make the truck pay for itself.

About sixty miles north of his farm

are acres and acres of huckleberry

swamps. With his regular work pret-

‘ty~well out of the way at the time

this fruit is ripe, he took his truck

to the swamps and camped for two

f'weeks during the best of the season.

The huckleberries were hauled to Sag-

ainaw, a little over 100 miles distant,

where there was an excellent market

this delicious fruit. Hubert’s fig-

Wes show a net profit of $15. 00 a day

' this venture.

the wilt. The disease continues to

take the plants here and there in the

field throughout the season but seems

to be checked in midsummer with the

onset of hot weather. _



The loss caused by this disease is

comparatively low, considering the

virulence of the parasite and where

planting has been heavy the thinning

caused is compensated by stronger

growth of the remaining plants.



The control of the disease hinges

upon the striped beetle control begin-

ning early in the season along with

removal from the patch of all blighted

runners. Recent developments’in the

use of nicotine impregnated dusts

give great promise in efficient and

prompt insect control with 2% or bet-

ter nicotine dust plus arsenate of

lead.



The grower will do well to allow in

his seeding for loss of plants by Wilt

and he should wage an early and re-

lentless fight against the insect car-

riers of the germ. This, along with

the sanitation measures suggested

and crop rotation, will prevent loss

from wilt. Professor Pettit in the

Michigan Quarterly Bulletin for May,

1923, gives full directions for striped

beetle control.—~—G. H. Coons.

GROWING CHILDREN NEED MU‘CH



SLEEP.





 





Would you please tell me. how many



hours growing children should sleep.

—Mrs. R. M.



Children at the age of four years





need twelve hours sleep a day. At

the age of five, eleven hours seems

to be sufficient. From the age of





eight to eleven, when children. are do-

ing active school work, they need

from ten to eleven hours sleep; and

at twelve to fourteen years, nine to





’ ten hours sleep. Children grow main-





ly while sleeping and resting, and if

they are to develop strong husky

bodies they must have plenty of rest

and sleep.

To GET RID OF POWDER POST

BEETLE‘S.





 





Can you tell me what it is that

works in the floor under the carpet,

and also on the painted and oiled

floor? There is little holes which

when first made look like little spots

of powder on the floor but it is only

sawdust. —MISS L. M. C.





You1 description leaves no doubt

as to the identity of the insect. They

must be powder post beetles. These

tiny beetles work in'the sap-wood of

oak, basswood, ash, elm and other

woods and in their tunneling push out

small heaps of flour-like material

when they come to the surface. We

are hearing more and more from

them every year since more and

more sap-wood is being included in

our lumber for ’building purposes as

the. difficulty of getting lumber in-

creases. '



Now, there are several ways of kill-

ing these creatures before the lumber

is brought into the house but after

it once is nailed down, one can not,

of course, put the lumber into a dry

kiln or apply any treatment of that

sort. We have been most successful

with the following method than with

any other and would advise it in pre‘





ference to any other scheme thus far .





suggested:



Get a two quart fruit jar and place

a quarter or half pound of persian in-

sect powder (pyrethrum) in this, fill

the jar- with kerosene and allow it- to

stand for a few days. Then pour

some of this into an ordinary oil can

' andsquirt a little of the kerosene

which will have turned yellow by'rea—

son of the prythrum‘ into the open-

ings where the dust accumulates.- The

kerosene will follow the flour-like

dust and its fumes will penetrate still

farther, killing the beetles and the lit-

tle grubs which would later become

beetles if allowed to exist. This

works pretty well in most cases.



It is also well to oil the floors with

some type of petroleum floor oil, us-

ing the oil freely and at frequent in—

tervals until the boards are soaked

pretty well with it. This- will do on

an ordinary floor although it would

not do in case of a polished fancy

floor since it would loosen the var-

nish and spoil its appearance.

other farm products, poultry must be

marketed in the cities to command

best prices, but it must be transport-

ed there quickly to avoid shrinkage.

You can actually figure three cents

a pound shrinkage 011 poultry shipped

by train.’ I can easily haul 2,000

pounds, excluding weight of crates by

truck. Another advantage not to be

overlooked is personal supervision at

the other end of the line. There is

no chance for commission men to

short-pay you on one pretext or an-

other. You are right there to fight

your own battles.



“If anyone doubts that a motor

truck pays on a farm of this kind,

I'can convince him in a very few min-

,utes by going over my books and com-

paring figures on what we have made

and what we would have earned had

we lacked this important means of

transportation. Knowing what I do,

I’d certainly never attempt to run

this business without a truck.”



011 determining the value of his

motor truck, Hubert is very careful

to figure against it everything that

can possibly be chargeable to this

equipment. The following figures are





his basis for computing complete

costs:



Investment.

Chassis .................... $1, 395. 00

Body (Express, Canopy &



Cab) ..................... 177.00

Frt. (61 th.) .............. 18:00

Wa1 Tax ................... 35.22

Actual Investment ......... $1, 625.22





Less Tire Values . ....... 203.76

Variable Charges Per MMile.

Fuel at $.25 per gal. (14

Oil at $1. 00 per gal. (300 Mi.

per gal. ) .................. .0030

Est. Repairs & Overhaul ..... ‘ .0050

Tires (10, 00 Mile life) ........ .200

Depriciation (150,000 Mi. life) .0094

Total .................... $ .0558





Fixed Charges Per Day.

(300 days per year)





Interest on Investment, 6% $ 3250

Insurance .................... .1520

License ..................... .0390

Driver’s Wages .............. 5.0000

Garage ...................... .3000



Total .................... $58160





Thus it will be seen that Fixed

Charges per day total $5.81, including

driver’s salary, although Hubert

drives the truck himself. Variable

charges per mile are .0558.



Multiplying variable charges per

mile by the number of miles traveled

per day gives total cost of truck. For

instance, he makes a round-trip to

Detroit, 320 miles in one day. Multi-

plying variable costs per mile of

.0558 by 320 makes total variable

costs for the day $17.85. Add to this

the total daily costs of $5.81, makes

the total cost of the trip $23.66.



Hubert is strong for system. He he-

lieves in doing business with his eyes

open always. Typical .0f the very

comprehensive way in which he keeps

track of everything is his special

bookkeeping system for the‘ poultry

branch of the business.



His account book is 12”x12” in size

and provides a means of taking care

of every item that\must be considered

in this connection. The left hand

page is for Cash Receipts and Pro~

duction for the month. There is on

this page at the extreme left, col-





umns for Date—Products Sold—Cash

Received——and Price. To the right of

these are the following columns, to





which all cash receipts entered in 001- i





umn A are distributed:

(C) Poultry—(D)





(B) Eggs——

Hatching Eggs-—





(E‘) Day Old ChickS——(F) Live Stock _





—(G) Misc. Column—(H) Other In-

come; Following these are four col-

umns for inventory.



The right hand page is for Cash

Disbursements. The first three col~

umns are for Date—Particulars—

Amount of Cash Paid. :The disburse-

ment is then distributed to Columns

J to R. Disbursements are classified

as follows: (J) Feed—(K) Labor——

(L) Repairs—(M) Incubators, Auto

and Misc—(N) Int., Ins, Taxes—40)

House Expense—(P) Personal Draw-





ings—(Q) New Equipment—(R) Live . C





Stock, Hatching Eggs.



Each page, of course, covers a

monthly period, and a monthly bal-

ance is quickly and easily taken. A

great deal more might be said about

this system, but the foregoing covers

the main features and gives a general

idea of how the plan works.



Hubert is a successful farmer. He

isn’t wealthy yet, but he has'learned

how to make a comfortable income in

his chosen kind of farming, and he

is constantly learning more because

he is taking the business seriously,

and is acquiring valuable information

from every available source. His poul4

try business itself nets him a yearly

income above the average yearly sal-

ary. From eggs alone he figures a

yearly profit per chicken of $3.00. The

800 chickens he now owns will, there

fore, show him a profit on eggs alone

of $2,400 this year, while this will be

considerably increased when income

2 ,. BY PP.





E told last spring, in these

W notes, about planting a few



‘ acres of corn and soy beans

to hog off. We planned at the time

on sowing rape broadcast at the last

cultivation. This we overlooked at

the proper time, and perhaps it is just

as well, in view of the fact that we

have had scarcely any rain at ,all in

our section of the state since the corn

was laid by, and it is doubtful if the

seed would have found moisture

enough to germinate.



Both the com and soy beans, 110w-

eveI, have made a. prodigious growth.

The corn is at this writing well cared

soys are

three feet high, very dalk green and

loaded with young pods.



Mr. Freeman, Extension specialist

of the Agricultural College, tells us

that we will g0 better 1esults from

hogging off the combination if we

will cut and feed the soy beans for

a week or so before turning the hogs

in. This, we are doing in order that

the pigs may acquire the taste and

eat them readily along with the corn.



Soy beans are not so palatable as

the corn, especially until the hogs

learn to like them, and when turned

into a. field without first having made

their acquaintenance, they will often

finish the corn before paying much

attention to the soys There is a

great deal of very valuable forage

in the soy bean leaves in addition to

the grain and, in view of the dry con~

into the soy beans at the earliest ad-

visable date. and before the leaves

mature and fall. ‘



Because the pigs are small and the

corn large we are hoping they will

get to feeding in good shape on the

beans before learning to ride dorm

the big stalks of corn to get at the

ears. It will be interesting to watch

the proceedings.



Top Dressing New Seeding.



The dry. weather has reached our

community just in time to be very

hard on the new seeding. It began

just as the grain was ripening, and

calling for lots of mositure. The yields





have been affected materially and the .

new clover which looked so vigorous,





a month ago is none too healthful

now.



As it is our usual practice we are

giving it decided encouragement by

a light dressing of good rich barn-

yard fertilizer put on with the spread-

er at the rate of six or eight loads

per acre. Oftentimes, this treatment

is sufficient to insure a good crop of

hay next year on spots where the

seeding is apparently all gone at the

time of application.



We do not like to have the barn-

yards remain uncleaned until this





time of year, but where the manure.

waste, and the grain fields that have

BETTER WAREHOUSE CONDI-

TIONS NEEDED.





 





UESTION has arisen as to the



storage qualities of the Rural

Russett. During the fall it sells on

a par with the best varieties, but

after being in storage it looses some

of its attractiveness by the golden

skin taking on a copper tarnish. Some

growers claim that [this is due to

faulty storage conditions. Lack of

ventilation, they claim, is what causes

this change. Rural Russetts held in

pits with vents come out in the spring

with the skin as bright and attractive

. as when stored in the .fall.

POULTRY NOTES.





 





I think that the pullets in the farm

flock often'mature faster than 'the

owner realizes. This is especially

true when they have a good range

and balanced rations. This rapid

growth follows a period in mid-sum-

mer when the development has seem~

ed to slacken. If results in over-

crowded brood coops and colony

houses. .The remedy is to have the

pullets accustomed to thearoosts in

the laying house before they are

ready to lay. Then they' mature rap-

idly and avoid a lot of the summer

colds that result when pullets are





‘ overcrowded:





Some poultrymen have the roosting

sections supported in front by short

blocks which set in cans partly filled

with kerosene. This keeps red mites

from crawling from the dropping

boards up to the roosts. The commer-

cial lice paints which will fill every

crack and crevice in the roosts are

also of help in keeping down mites.

Never nail rooststo the walls of the

hen house or the point between each

roost and the wall will become a hid-

ing place for thousands of mites.

Wires from the ceiling to the front

and rear of the roosting section en-

ables the poultryman to break the

connection between the roosts and

the dropping platform.



Registration of poultry does not

look practical. It is possible with

animals who only reproduce at inter-

vals months apart but difficult with

poultry that may reproduce practical-

ly every day during the spring breed-

ing season. l‘note that plans to reg-

ister poultry seem to arouse more in-

terest among those who might collect

the fees than the breeders who raise

the stock. A few poulti'ymen can do

fine pedigree work and furnish seed

stock to other breeders but that Work

takes so much time that most farmers

must place their flocks on a meat and

egg basis with little time for fancy

breeding operations.



Early moulting as a means of cull-

ing is being disputed by some practi-

cal poultrymen. They find that some

good layers have moulted early. It

is my opinion that some early moult-

ers may be fine layers but in general

the early moulters are not so good.

A combination of points must be con-

sidered in all culling operations.



—R. G. Kirby.





FEEDING SCREENINGS BRINGS

WEEDS.





 





If you buy screenings for the chick-

ens it does not pay to feed them over

a. large area that may be used for

gardening. The screenings may bring

you the finest collection of variegated

weeds that your garden .has ever

grown. It also pays to use precautions

in the scratch feed that is scattered

onwthe range for young stock. If the

mixture contains weed seeds 21 lot of

the weeds may be left on the range

to cause futurevwork of eradication.—

G. R.





WHITISH SPOTS ‘ IN HENS.

POULTRY PROBABLY POISON ED.





 





We have several hens which have

been taken with some kind ofa dis-

ease which is hard to explain. aThey

will lie down on their sides and when

we approach them they get up sud-

denly and raise their heads high in

the air and jerk it around as though

they could not 'see and start away

shaking their heads in the air. To«

wards the last they will lie on their

sides and when they try to get up

and walk, will stagger and fall -—F L.





The hens show symptoms of

poisoning which may be caused by

eating decayed meat on the range.

mouldy grain, spray dope or any ma-

terial that may cause a severe in<

flammation of the digestive tract. In

such cases it pays to perform a post—

mortem and note the condition of the

internal organs. This will often fur-

nish accurate clues to the cause of

the death. It, might pay to fasten up

the remainder of the flock and give

them a dose of Epsom salts at the

rate of one pound for 100 birds, in the

mash.





DUCKLINGS AND‘ POULTS DIE.





 





Our ducks, about 4 or 6 weeks old,

bend their heads back and rub I'he

side of head on their backs. They

fall over on side and back. At first

they act as if they were dizzy and

finally they cannot stand at all but

just lie on side or back with their

heads drawn back.



We feed chick feed and sour milk.

They have the run of an alfalfa field

and have access to a. creek besides

water put out for them. Have been

told that a small gnat gets in their

ears, but have not been able to see

any. Have dropped sweet oil in their

ears and brushed inside of ear With

a to th-pick and cotton swab.



We also had 6 turkeys hatched .un.

der a hen. The hen left them when

they were two or three weeks old.

They seemed to grow and were all

feathered when suddenly they began

to die. They were fed on sour milk.

bread and milk, eggs and oatmeal.

My hen and Tom are both young.





Ducklings usually have dizzy spells

due to exposure to extreme heat and

indigestion. Ducklings can digest

mash better than the fine chick grain.

Too concentrated a ration or too

much corn meal sometimes cause

losses among ducklings. Mouldy feed

and an oversupply of tough bodied

insects may cause losses.





A good mash for growing ducklings





can be made of 2 parts corn meal. 1

part middlings, .1 part bran. Then ten

per cent beef scrap can be added and

a liberal sprinkling of green feed.

There is much variation in the care

of ducklings depending on the condi-

tion of their range which may supply

very little or nearly all of their food

supply.



I do not think that the small in‘

sects in the ears cause the trouble.



Young turkey breeding stock Will

not usually produce as vigorous poults

as older birds. A weak spark of life

may be responsible for the losses.

Perform a postmortem on the poults

that die and note the condition of the

liver. The losses might be due to

blackhead or just to general weak-

ness due to exposure, dampness or

various digestive disorders.

PROVIDES" SUCCESSFUL FLY.-

‘ CHASER. '.

A COW cannot maintain a maxi-

. ' m'um flow of milk and fight files.

If in' the ‘hot sun, she will eventually

'seek shelter before” she has fully sat-

isfied her wants. Then, too, all the





 





’ energy she uses worrying in the heat





and fighting files will be subtracted

from her milk flow.



To prevent this loss, we .hung a.

number of old ropes, bags, etc., from

the overlays in an old shed. The ropes

and clothes dangeling about four feet

above the dirt floor were saturated

with a fly—repellant solution. When-

the_cows\walk into this effective bar-

age, you can imagine what happens

to the flies—Carl C. DeWitt.

COWS THRIVE ON SWEET

CLOVER PASTURE.





 





UR method of maintaining the

milk. flow during the dry period



is to provide an ideal all-summer

pasture. For this purpose we grow

the biennial white sweet clover. An

acre of it willtkeep more than one

cow all summer and the pasture will





 

 

 

   

   





 

 

 





’ gaégré'eparéairihisé. _

”$13M inseam”: Inscampaign. ' .





I keep green and palatable until there -





is a new pasture provided after

threshing time by the sweet clover

that was sown in the small grain in

the spring. Occasionally when we

buy a new cow that does not seem to

like, the sweet clover at first, she is

given a little grain or dry, feed until

she will eat the clover well. Cows

on sweet clover need very little grain

to keep up the milk flow to profitable

production. '



When the cows are turned back in

the pasture at night, the flies do not

bother so much while they are feed-

ing at night or lying down. Since the

sweet clover grows rather high in

places the plants help to brush off the

files while they are feeding. Sweet

clover provides a fine pasture from

early spring until fall, it provides

milk that has no bad odor or taste,

and it points the way to economy in

milk production—J. L. Justice.





 





 





FEEDING ROUGHAGE TO CALVES.





N important matter to look out



for in the raising of dairy calves

is to feed them so that they will de-

velop a capacity to handle a large

quantity of roughage when they come

to maturity, as roughage furnishes

the most economic part of the ration

in the production of milk.



My experience .in raising dairy

calves has been that it is not advis-

able at any time to feed more than

10 pounds of milk per day, and this

should be divided in two feeds. Milk

fed in too large a quantity to dairy

calves causes poddy calves which do

not develop into large animals of

strong constitution. At weaning time

the milk should be gradually reduced

while the calves are encouraged to

eat liberally of roughages such as

clover hay, alfalfa and silage.



I do not believe in feeding dairy

calves heavily on fat making grains.

My object in growing calves to re-

plenish my dairy herd, is to preduce

cows of large bone and muscular de-

velopment coupled with the capacity

to handle large guantity of nutritous

roughage. While I continue feeding

grain after weaning I do not make

this the major part of the ration.



Growing calves on grass should be

encouraged to eat What roughage they

will cleanup daily' as it not only

helps to balance up the succulent

food, but also stimulates the habit of

eating dry roughage. Calves that are





fed roughage on pasture do not notice:

the change of feed when brought up?





in the fall.——L. C. R.





 





 





Forget that you need exercise when

planning the dairy barn. Cut out





every step you can.

Please give me all information and

knowledge possible regarding the

growing and, use of sweet clover as

a pasture crop for dairy cows. How

.may it be used in a crop rotation on

a farm growing corn, barley, wheat

and alfalfa?—~A. O. H.





Sweet clover is winning its way rap-

idly to the front with many farmers

as a pasture plant. It starts very.

early in the spring and continues to

grow even through the August drouth.



At first cattle do not seem to like

it very well but they soon acquire

a taste for it.





It could be seeded with barley in

the spring and would furnish pasture

the following summer, or it could be

seeded with wheat in the spring as

you would common red clover and

pasture the next summer till late

and plow for wheat. Possibly it would

be better to grow corn twice in the

rotation, having it follow both the

sweet clover and alfalfa.

FEEDING MILK TO CALVES

OME of our neighbors have been

they found that experts recommend

that children take milk slowly for

best results. The sipping ‘of milk,

How to Feed Milkmaker Next Winter

At Summer Prices





You can contract your winter feed requirements of

Milkmaker through the Farm Bureau, for equal monthly

shipments from September through March at summer

feed prices. The price is guaranteed.



The Farm Bureau buys Milkmaker ingredients in

huge volume at summer low prices, mixes them at one

of the largest and best equipped mills in the country

and delivers Milkmaker to you every month. You pay

as it is delivered. This plan enables you to buy your

winter feed at the lowest prices; it insures fresh feed.



See your local co-operative association for your Milk-

maker requirements. If you have no co-op., ask us how

to co—operate with your neighbors in buying cariots of

Milkmaker for car-door delivery. Write for our booklet

bors reached the

for the calves.





To test this out it was necessary

to contrive recepticals resembling

cows’ udders. It was the opinion, of

those who observed the result that

the calves which took their milk

slowly had a little bit the edge on

the others, but the practical conclu—

sion was that the improvement did

not warrant the trouble of providing

the device for feeding and the greater

care required to keep these devices

in sanitary condition—R. B. Sidnaw.

Cerence between ugliness and bloauty.

' For, whether Sally were beautiful or

not—about which we might contend a

3 bit—her hair was, and perhaps that is

the reason why it was nearly always

uncovered—or, possibly, again, be-

cause it was so much uncovered was

the reason it was beautiful. It

seemed to catch some of the glory of

the sun. Her face had a few freckles

and her mouth was a trifle too large.

But, in it were splendid teeth.



In short, by the magic of brilliant



color and natural grace she narrowly



'escaped being extremely handsome—

in the way of a sun-burned peach, or

\a maiden's-blush apple. And even if

you should think she were not hand-

some, you would admit that there

was an indescribable rustic charm

about her. She was like the aroma

of.the hay-fields, or the woods, or a

field of daisies, or dandelions.



The girl, laughing, surrendered the

money, and the old man, taking an

arm of each, marched them pre-

emptorily away.



“Come to the house and git his

clothes. Eferysing goes in—stofe-

pipe hat, butterfly necktie, diamond

pin, tooth-brush, hair~oil, razor and

soap.”



They had got





 





far enough around





the corner to be out of sight of the .





store, during this gaiety, and the old

man now shoved Seffy and the girl

out in front of him, linked their arms,

and retreated to the rear.



“What Sephenijah P. Baumgartner,





Senior, hath j’ined together, let no—

body put athunder, begoshens!” he

announced.



The proceedings appeared to be





painful to Seffy, but not to Sally. She

frankly accepted the situation and

promptly put into action its oppor—

tunities for coquetry. She begged

him, first, with consummate aplomb,

’to aid her in adjusting her parcels

more securely, insisting upon carry-

ing them herself, and it would be im-

possible to describe adequately her

allures. The electrical touches, half-

caress, half—defiance; the confidential

whisperings, so that the wily old man

in the rear might not hear; the surges

up against him; the recoveries—only

to surge again—these would require

a mechanical contrivance which re-

ports not only speech but action~—

and even this might easily fail, so

subtle was it all!



“Sef—Seffy, I thought it was his

old watch he was auctioning off. I

wanted it for—for—a nest—egg! aha-





ha—ha! .You must excuse me.”

“You wouldn’t ’a’ bid at all if you’d

knowed it was me, I reckon,” said

Seffy.

“Yes, I would,” declared the co-

quette. “I’d rather have you than any

My Vacation

By C. E. Gerberich





All summer I have wished that after

harvest days were o’er



I might have a short vacation—take

a trip to the lake shore,



Or pay once more a visit to my hap-

py boy-hood home,



And tread again familiar paths where

once I used to roam.



Now haying time is over and harvest-

ing is done,



And I’m having my vacation, but very

little fun,



Because I have lumbago and it makes

me groan and frown



Whenever I get out of bed and when



I lay me down,



nearly every move I make my



poor back fairly cracks,



(Lastfall I strained it badly raising

money for my tax.)





For





So I’m taking my vacation partly in

the rocking chair



Where I listen to the record of “The

Preacher and the Bear.”



Or on the shady side porch

quietly I lie, '





very





And count the chickens that will soon

be big enough to fry.



Whenever I am sick or lame and have

to stay in doors,



Then is the very time I like the best

to do the chores.



I long to grab my hat and rush out

in the burning sun



To do the countless jobs I know are

waiting to be done;



To charge upon the woodopile or fix

the window screens,



Or cut the weeds and thistles that



. are growing ’mongst the beans.





But when I’m convalescing my ardor

fades away,



And I kind 0’ feel as though I’d like

to rest another day.



But I have long since learned to take

the bitter with the sweet



And try to make the best of every-

thing I chance to meet,



So I’ll bear my disappointment and

pursue my onward way,



Still hoping that the future will bring

a holiday.





 





 





kept Seffy from making love to her

while he was doing it—which seemed

foolish to Sally. The old man came

up and brought them together again.



“Oach! go ’long and make lofe some

more. 'I like to see it. I expect I

am an old fool, but I like to see it—

it’s like 01’ times—y as, and if you

don’t look out there, Seffy, I’ll take a

hand myself—yassir! go ’long!”



He drew them very close together,

each looking the other way. Indeed

he held them for a moment, roughly.



Seffy stole a glance at Sally. He

wanted to see how she was taking

his father’s odiously intimate sugges-

tion. But it happened that Sally





radiance which shot into Sally’s face.

“Set —— up —-— with —’me!”

“Yes!” said Seffy, almost savagely.

“That’s what I said.”

“Oh, I—I guess so! Yes! of course!”

she answered variously, and rushed

off home.





“You know I own you.” she laughed

back, as if she had not been sufficient-

ly explicit. “I paid for you! Your

pappy’s got the money! I’ll expect

my property to—night.” '



“Yas!” shouted the happy old man,

“and begoshens! it’s a reg’ler bar-

What Have Feelings Got to Do With

HEY advanced together now, Sef-



fy’s father whistling so‘mé' tune

that was never heard before on earth,

and, with his arm in that of his son,

they watched Sally bounding away.

Once‘ more, as she leaped a fence,

she looked laughingly back. The Cold '

man whistled‘ wildly out of tune. Se‘f—

fy waved at hand!





“Now you shouting, Seffy! Shout

ag’in!” -



“I didn’t say a word!”



“Well—it ain’t too late! Go on!”





Now Seffy understood and laughed

with his father.



“Nice gal, Sef——Seffy!”



“Yes!” admitted Seffy with reserve.



“Healthy.”



Seffy agreed to this, also.



“No doctor-bills!” his father ampli-

fled.



Seffy said nothing.



“Entire orphen.”



“She’s got a granny!”

» “Yas,” chuckled the old man at the

way his son was drifting into the sit-





uation —— thinking about granny! ——

“but Sally owns the farm!” ,

“Uhu!” said Seffy, whatever that





might mean.



“And Sally’s the boss!”



Silence. ,



“And granny won’t object to any

one Sally marries, anyhow—she das-

sent! She’d git licked!”



“Who said anything about marry-

ing?"



Seffy was speciously savage now——

as any successful wooer might be._



{‘Nobody but me, sank you!” said

the old man with equally specious

meekness. “Look how she ken jump

a six-rail fence. Like a three-year

filly! She’s a nice gal, Seffy—and the

farms j’ine together — her pasture-

field and our corn-field. And she’s

Seffy said he didn’t know. And he

did not return the kiss—though he

yearned to.

was not a diamond at all—the Hebrew

who sold it to Seffy had confessed as

much. But he also swore that if it

were kept in perfect polish no one but

a diamond merchant could tell the

difference. Therefore,‘there being no

diamond merchant anywhere near,

and the jewel always being immacu—

late, .Seffy presented it as a diamond

and had risen perceptibly in the opin-

“And — and ~— and ~ Sef — Seffy,

what you goin’ to do?”



“Do?”



Seffy had been absorbed in what he

was going to wear.



“Yas — yas —— that’s the most im-

and gently squeezed it. “Oh, of

course! Hah? But what yit?”





I regret to say that Seffy did not

understand.



“Seffy,” he said impressively, “you

ens! Why, that Sally's just like a

young stubble-field; got to be worked

constant, and plowed deep, and man-

uredsheafy, and mebby drained wiss

blind ditches, and crops changed con-

stant, and kep’ a—going thataway—

constant—constant—so’s the weeds

can’t git in her. Then you ken put

her in wheat after a while and git

your money back.”





This drastic metaphor had its ef-

fect. Sefly began to understand. He

said so. _



“Now look here, Seffy,” his father

went on more softly, “when you git

to this—and this~and this,”—he went

through his pantomime again, and it

included a progressive caressing to

the kissing point—“well, chust when

you bose comfortableuhahi—mebby

on one .cheer, what I know—it’s so

long sence I did it myself—~when you

bose comfortable, ast her—chust ast

her—ahami—what she’ll take for the

pasture-field! She owns you bose and

she can’t use bose you and the pas-

ture. A bird in the hand is worth

seferal in _another’ feller’s‘not so?”



But Seffy only stopped and stared

at his father. This, again, he did not

understand.



"You know well enough I got no

money to_- buy no. Pasture-field," said

he.



'fGosh-a’ midhtyl’.’ .said the old man





an» at." the aid man with j,





mucking as: it he would strike -





“Nothing except the mare!” said

the boy.



“Say—ain’t you got no feelings, you

idjiot?” _



“0h ” said Seffy. And ’then:

“But what’s feelings got to do with

cow-pas ture ?”



“Oach! No wonder he wants to be

an anchel, and wiss the anchelsl stand

——holding sings in his hands and on

his head! He’s too good for this wile

world. He’d linger shiffering on the

brink and fear to launch away all his

durn life—if some one didn’t push

him in. So here goes!”



This was spoken to the skies, ap-

parently, out now he turned to his

son again.



“Look a-yere, you young dummer-

ux, feeling is the same to gals like

Sally, as money is to you and me.

You ken buy pototoes wiss- ’e'm. Do

you understand ?”



Seffy said that he did, now.



“Well, then, I’fe tried to buy that

pasture-field a sousand times ”



Seffy started.



“Yas, that’s a little bit a lie—mebby

a dozen times. And at last Sally’s

daddy said he’d lick me if I efer said

pasture-field ag’in, and I said it ag’in

and he licked me! He was a big

man—and red-headed yit, like Sally.

Now, look a‘yerewyou ken git that

pasture-field wissout money and wiss-

out pricewexcept you’ dam’ feelings

which ain’t no other use. 'Sally won’t

lick you—«if she is bigger-don’t be

a-skeered. You got tons of feelin’s

you ain’t got no use for—~don’t waste

’em—they’re good green money, and

we’ll git efen wiss Sally’s daddy for

licking me yit—and somesing on the

side! Huh?”



At last it was evident that Seffy

fully understood, and his father broke

into that discordant whistle once

more.



“A gal that ken jump a six-rail

fence—and wissout no running start

——don’t let her git apast you!”



“Well, I’m going to set up with her

to—night,” said Sel‘fy again, with a

huge ahem. And the tune his father

whistled as he opened the door sound-

ed something like “I want to be an

angel "



“But not to buy no pasture- land!”

warned Seffy



“Oach, no, of course not!” agreed

his wily old father. “That’s chust

one of my 'lurn jokes. But I expect

I’ll take the fence down to-morrow!

Say, Sef, you chust marry the gal.

I’ll take keer the fence!”

A MILLET STORY.





 





There was a man in our township,

Who kept a flock of sheep;

One year he raised a cr'op of millet,

'Andbwhat happened later can’t be

eat.





He had harvested the crop

And put it in a stack;



He turned the sheep into the yard;

Thought being what he lacked.





They brushed against and made a tun-

ne

Right around the stack;

And naturally as they did this,

The seed fell on their, backs.





On came the nice warm weather,

Also a nice warm rain;



Just what starts growth for millet,

Or any other grain.





Then one bright sunshiny morning,

When the farmer crawled out of bed





He pulled up the curtain of the win-r





dow _

That was just at the ’head of his bed.

He really thought he was seeing

things,





But we can’t wonder at that.

Each sheep’s back was covered with

green,

From the sprouting seed that came

from the stack.





Now this sounds quite “fishy, ” I know,

Nevertheless. dear reader, it’s true.

The man is a well-known farmer

And a very good farmer, too.

tires that will take him back

and toWn.





Silvertowns meet his test.





Stop, and think it over. The

first tire had to meet road con-

ditions now found in the coun-

try. Goodrich, the pioneer tire

maker, couldn’t choose the

roads for its tires any more than

a farmer can choose his. So

Goodrich built tires to meet

them.

I A Good, Time to Buy Tires





The whole story of Goodyear value is plainly

shown in the above simple chart.





Over the last ten years, while prices of all com-

modities were soaring, Goodyear Tire prices

have been kept consistently low.





Today, Goodyear prices are 37% below those

of 1920, and 30% below those even of 1914.





This is remarkable in itself, but more remark—

able is the fact that year after year Goodyear

Tires have been steadily improved—in design,

materials and construction.





Now is a good time to buy Goodyear Tires.

Prices are low, and the tires are the finest and

most serviceable Goodyear has ever built.

of Paul’s appearance, dating



from the first century. It

speaks of his appearance as he ap-

proached Iconium, on his first mis-

sionary tour. “Bald-headed, bow-

legged, strongly built, a man so small

in size, with meeting eyebrows, with

a rather large nose, full of grace, for

at times he looked like a man and at

times he had the face of an angel ”

That he was a man possessed of bod-

ily vigor must be taken for granted,

for no one could have endured the





who was not- endowed with staying

power.



His recital of experiences is enough

to make the most sinewy athlete

gasp: "In labors more abundantly, in

prisons more abundantly, in stripes

above measure, in deaths oft. Of the

Jews five times received I" forty

stripes save one. Thrice was I beat-

en with rods, once was I stoned,

thrice I suffered Shipwreck, a night

anti 3. day have I

been in the deep;

in journeyings

often, in perils of

rivers, in perils

of robbers, in

perils from my

countrymen, in

perils from the

Gentiles, in perils

in the city, in perils in the wilderness,

in perils in the sea, in perils among

false brethren; in labor and travail,

in watchings often, in hunger and

thirst, in fastings often, in cold and

nakedness.”





 





UT in spite of such endurance, he



had what is called a “thorn in the

flesh.” Much has been written on this,

and many diseases have been listed

as constituting this “thorn.” Epilep-

sy seems to best fill all the conditions.

Epilepsy was considered by the an-

cients as especially humiliating, and

was supposed to be evidence of the

displeasure of God. If so, it would

account for his very intense prayer

for deliverance from it: “Concerning

this thing I besought the Lord thrice,

that it might depart from me.

he hath said unto me, ‘My grace is

sufficient for thee, for my power is

made perfect in weakness, ”. 'It is

well known that men of extraordinary

power have been afflicted with this

dread malady—Julius Caesar, Peter

the Great, Napoleon I, and Alfred the

Great. Paul dragged a chain all his

life. A nettle stung him all the dis-

tance of his exhausting missionary

tours. But he never gave up!



The story of his conversion is told

three times in the book of Acts, once

by the writer of the book (chap. 9),

once by Paul when speaking in Jer-

usalem (22) and once when speaking

before King Agrippa (26). Did any

other man ever have as amazing a

conversion as this? Yes, a good

many. Such transformations take

place every now and then. St. Augus-

tine is the greatest figure in the

church for a thousand years, and his

conversion was of this type. Over-

come with discouragement and gloom,

he one day heard a voice, saying,

“Take and read! Takeand read!”

He picked up the New Testament and

read where his eyes fell, and this was

the passage, “Not in revelling and

drunkenness, not in chambering and

wantonness, not in strife and jeal—

ousy,, but put ye on the Lord Jesus

Christ,” and he was a changed man

from that hour. John Wesley had a.

similar experience, though less ,dra-

matic, while H H. Hadley, who con-

ducted the Bowery Mission for tramps

and drunks, was converted suddenly





. in a saloon.

a rabbi. He spent, after conversion,

three years in study and meditation,





in Arabia, and it‘ looks as though he r i





was occupied four years more, in

teaching here and there, before he be-

gan his first missionary journey. Be-

ing a preacher is strenuous business,

and it requires thorough preparation.

People sometimes demur because they

are expected to pay so much if they

secure a suitable minister. But they

forget that he has Spent four years in

high school, four years in college,

very likely three years in a. theolog-

ical seminary, and perhaps still more

time in postgraduate study. Yet some

young men want to get into the min-

istry without even graduating from

high school. No man could have'wrlt—

ten the discourses on theology that

came from Paul’s hand, unless he had

been rooted and grounded in the

learning of 'the times.





The first missionary journey was

an 'adventure. It was a new method

of propagating the Christian faith. No

one had done it just that way before.

That is, none after Christ. Setting

out with Barnabas, who must have

been an ideal travelling companion,

and taking with them a younger rela—

tive of Barnabas’, John Mark, they

set out. They went the length of the

large island of Cyprus. And there

Paul met his first vigorous opposition,

in the person of a sorcerer, whom he

speedily put out of business. ' Would

that all modern fakers could be treat—

ed with the same medicine! They

pushed on through Pisidian Antioch,

Iconium, Lystra, Derbe and other





cities. They returned to Lystra and

Paul was stoned there and left for

dead. They were gone about two

'years. On this journey Paul showed





that he was the leading spirit. When

they set out, it was Barnabas and

Paul. 'When they returned it was

Paul and Barnabas.





e





HE second journey took probably

three or four years. They es-

tablished churches, or at least taught,

in Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, Phrygia,

Galatia. Then«Paul had his remark-

able dream, in which he saw a man

standing and calling to them, “Come

over into Macedonia and help us.” It

is believed by many that this was

Luke, for from this time on Luke

went with them. The three (Silas

was with them) went on from Neapo-





_lis to Philippi, Thessalonica (the mod—

ern Salonica), then Athens, Corinthh





Ephesus, Cseaarea and Jerusalem

The next missionary tour consumed

some three or four years, and covered

much of the same territory as the

second, as Paul wanted to strengthen

the churches which had been founded.

In Jerusalem, whither he went, after

the tour was completed, he was ar-

rested. He appealed to the emperor

to, hear his case, and went to Rome.

It is supposed that Paul had inherited

some money. To “appeal to Caesar"





was expensive business, just as apr





pealing law cases is today.



The journey to Rome is better than

most modern stories. The old hero'

was shipwrecked on an island, and

had other adventures. He was some-

what discouraged asshe trudged to-

ward the capitol, but being met by

many‘of the Christians as he ap-

proached the city, “he thanked God

and"took courage.”

Twin Elms, Cherry Hill,

- August 25.

Dear Uncle David:



Before I went away I told you I

was ’gonto tell you about some more

Well the

young man who preached here an who

said he’d come if we paid him the

salary he-thought he ought to have

has decided to come. We raised the

Thought it was gon—





Raisin’ the salary

got to do

though and we are makin further

plans to carry out a full Country Life

Program with the aid of “Elder” Ben-

nett, as Sam Grover calls him.





Don’t know how Sam came by that

title, but guess he means it for a

badge of respect all right but it don’t

fit Rev. Bennett more’n a pair of nose-

glasses fits a hop toad. Bennett’s a

live young feller who was raised on

the farm an educated at an Agricul-

tural College and a theological School

and has an A. B. degree too boot.

Guess if he wants to he could get a

big church in the city, but he sorto

feels that there’s a 'big job waiting

to be done in the Open Country an

unless someone has the vision an the

courage, and the patience to do it our

Agricultural Life will become more

decadent than ever.



He says he left the farm because

he was taught to regard it as one of

the callings that didn’t need no

brains. Said he had a lot of respect

for his brains and that he didn’t want

to bury them. Since he‘s been

through the mill and got away from

Farm Life he’s had some great vis-

ions an seen the need. Too many boys

just~like him have left the farm an

the agriculture of today needs leaders

more’n anything else. Leaders wot

won’t be eternally speculatin’ as to

the possibilities of getting the most

money out of the soil but the most

life.



He says our people living in the

open country are pretty much like a

herd that’s had the best stock sold

off an had the scrubs left to breed an

build the herd. Naturally we ain’t go-

ing to git much leaders from scrubs.

I guess he’s right there an it’s about

time we was making country life

worth more than 3 and cents cause

them things ain’t got no value com-

pared to the Spiritual Concepts that

underlie our life. Gosh Uncle, this

sounds like an oration.



Well Bennett’s coming to live with

our folks here. He won’t have no

mansion to live in but it will be just

like what we have an he’s satisfied

to go on as we do an share our life.

He’s got us to make a Survey an a

big Map of the Community an with





this material he’s building his pro





gram. He says we gotta have a Com-

munity House for the old church isn’t

quite adapted to' a modern program,

so that’s what we are going to get

first. He’s organized some clubs

among the boys and girls first thing

as he says that’s what we need most

now is to. get the youngsters inter-

ested in their own life an let them

choose their field of labor on a fair

basis of judgment.





I reckon when he gets started on

that there’s going to be a lot of boys

and girls that will learn to like Coun-

try Life a whole lot more’n they ever

did, because they got a share in it.

Trouble too often is that Dad and

Mother shares all the worry ,an work

an responsibility and for want of the





;privilege to share some of this and

something to do the youngsters get





the city bug and are attracted by the

big noise and the big lights to the

that he was thru with farm life an

was going to study to be a doctor.

Said he was plum mad at his Pa

’cause his Pa gave him a calf two

years ago to raise an Reginald raised

it an took care of it and then his Pa

up an sold it and pocketed the money.

Sounds just like Jimmy’s old tricks

all right an a lot like Abraham Gold-

stein, I heard Pete telling about the

other day. You know Pete’s full of

stories like Lincoln an illustrates

every point with a good one. This

one Abraham Goldstein says to his

neighbor Isaac Doorheim, “I hear you

give your little boy a quarter every

week for good behavior.” “Ya,” says

Abraham, “but I fool him, I told him

the Gas Meter iss a liddle Bank I

bought him.”





If you got any suggestions for us

send them along. We need ’em.

Would you think it out of place to

have dancing in this Community

House we plan to build? What do

you think of the amusement question

anyhow? When I hear from you I’ll

tell you what I think and what Rev.

Bennett says about it. Hope you get

your silo filled all right. Lots of nuts

on the trees and lots of fruit, so I

guess we are going to have a hard

Winter. The coal sltuation’s still bad

here, but we got a fine big woodlot

an I got lots of wood out. About time

we was having a little regulation so

that people wouldn’t suffer from some

of this fireproof coal they are ped-

dling out to folks.



Love from your nephew,

HENRY O. HOPE.

Pete told a good one today. He was

talking about our community and said

URING the initial years of

baby's journey through life,

nothing gives so much informa-

concerning his or her general

well-being as does the weight. A com-

of her offspring through babydo-m

weigh the baby and let the record be

as accurate as possible.



Up to the end of the first year,

the baby’s weight should be recorded

once a week, and during the second

year every two weeks.



The rate at which baby gains each

the same garments each time, for

week, month and year is of utmost

consequence to his general health.

Up until six months of age he should

gain from four to eight ounces a





week. When he does not make this 1





minimum gain, it should be reported

to a physician, the cause determined

and remedied. After six months, the

gain is approximately a pound a

month. But at the end of the first

year, the healthy babe has trebled

his original weight and should be the

proud possessor of at least six teeth.

When Mary, from a personal dislike,

doesn’t want to drink all her glass of

milk, or eat all of her potatoes, it will

be a strong inducement for her to

leave a clean plate for fear James

will gain more than she.



The above is a table of height and

weight of a healthy child from which

your baby’s record may be kept. After

the first year you will notice there is

a gradual decrease in the number of

inches and increase in the number of





pounds.- Four inches are gained in

the second and third year, three in

the fourth and fifth, and during the

succeeding years tWO inches each.

The gain in Weight averages about

four pounds yearly up to seven years.



With the child’s height and weight

acting as a marked indication of its

general health, the wise parent wilt

keep a record of these gains and

losses to more readily determine the

general health condition.





A Dainty Curtain Edging —

BIT of hand work adds a



touch of .charm and originality

to the atmosphere of the home that

is difficult to express in any other

way. With the windows of the home

as its eyes. the home-maker is ever

anxious that they convey to the pass-

er-by the impression of a “well

groomed” and modern home.



This impression is readily express-

ed in well chosen and dainty curtains.

Plain scrim and marquisette or other

of the popular weaves will make very

attractive curtains for the most ex-

clusive home if edged with a bit of

hand—made lace.



The Farringdon pattern illustrated

of your finger, and between each lay-

er sprinklea few dill seed. When the

can is filled, add one tablespoonful of

salt, one-third teacup vinegar, and fill

to overflowing, with cold water. Put

GRAHAM BREAD.





 





Y husband says he would just as



soon have graham bread as

cake, so I make a lot of it. It is very

easy as it does not have to be molded

with the hands.



I make the sponge of white flour

using one and one—half quarts of luke-

warm water, two tablespoons of gran-

ulated sugar, and one or more table-

spoons of melted shortening. When

it is light, take out three cups of

sponge (for two loaves) and add half

a cup of sugar, a good teaspoon of

salt, and mix stiff with graham flour.

Let rise and put into greased deep

tins, making them half full. Let rise

to the top and bake in a slightly

slower oven than White bread. Half

a cup of raisins makes a good addition.



If one did not want to make white

bread, too, two cups of water, or one

of scalded and cooled milk and one

of water, half a cup of sugar, tea-

spoon of salt, made into sponge with

white flour and then finished when

light with graham as the other. I

use one cake of compressed yeast for

the quart and a half of water in

warm weather or two cakes in cool

weather.——Mrs. E. H. D.

0 you know that the greatest

vegetable in the world is—the

tomato? It is the richest of

all foods in vitamines and in natural

health acids which aid in keeping the

stomach and intestines in condition.



Medical authorities tell us in just

so many words that tomatoes not on-

ly have all the vitamines, but actual-

ly more of them than any other fruit

or vegetable and in the form which

nature uses the most.



This is the season of the year when

your garden is yielding amply of this

fresh vegetable. When the family be-

comes tired of having them sliced or

of other usual ways of serving, try

one of these “out of the ordinary”

recipes.

lain lined kettle with eight pounds of

apples, pared, cored and quartered.

TO TRY_ OUT LARD.

I cut it up in small pieces or put it

’HORSERADISH IN WINTER.





 





N reply to the request of Mrs. F.

E. for a recipe for canning horse-

radish for winter use, Mrs. S. S. of

Standish, Michigan, says she has tried

it with success after this method.

Grate horseradish fine and cover

with three parts vinegar and one part

water, boiled together. Do not cook

the horseradish. After letting stand

about five minutes, pack in a ster-

ilized jars and seal.





‘Mrs. M. W., of Deckerville, Mich,

has also been successful in canning

horseradish. She uses the clear vine-

gar without boiling or diluting. She

finds that it is‘ best not to pack the

jars too tightly with horseradish, but

be sure that the vinegar is at the

top of the jar. ‘

has been used. I wish to use a wal-



nut varnish stain over the burnt um-



ber to give a good stain—Mrs. N. B.

I would suggest that you do not use





varnish stains. The experience that

we have had in refinishing furniture

has taught us that better resuults are

obtained in using stains and then us-

ing a good varnish on that. I think

you will find it much more satisfac-

tory to remove old paint, particularly

if it is dark, before applying any

lighter color. You can use either a

comme1 olal paint remover or a strong

lye solution. '



I am sure the more carefully you

clean the surface that you wish to re-

paint, the better your results will be

when you refinish—Extension Ser-

vice, M. A. C. -

LYE, THE HOUSEWIFE’S PURI-

FIER.





 





 

 

 





ANY doctor’s bills would be



avoided if women realized the

small amount of trouble that is re-

quired to keep their homes not only

clean but sanitary and germ-proof.



One of the most powerful, economi-

cal and easy-to—obtain disinfectants in

the world is lye. The generous use

of this commodity will prevent the ‘

spread of disease germs.



For cleaning pots and pans and

washing dishes, a weak solution of

lye will make the work easier and al-

so purify the utensils. There is no

quicker way to poison an entire fam-

ily than by using unclean kitchen

utensils or plates, cups or water

glasses that have been previously

used by a person suffering from some

,malady. The use of lye will greatly

reduce this hazard.



Around the bathroom, thorough

cleaning is made easier and infinitely

more effective by using lye. In this

instance, lye also acts as a disinfec-

tant as well as a cleaner.



The niceSt way to use lye is with

a mop or brush for heavy cleaning of

floors or walls. The use of lye in this

manner keeps it from coming in con-

tact with’hands and avoids possible '

drying out of the skin or irritations

caused by lye. Lye attacks grease,

and for this reason, it will absorb oil

from the skin. Care should be taken

that it does not come in contact with

any exposed parts of the hands or

sure. A sick child should never be

allowed in school. ' He is hurting him-

self by the effort, to study, and may

' be doing harm» to the other pupils by

‘ exposing 'them to a contagious dis-

ease. A wise mother will not be

fooled, into keeping .the child out of

school for every 'whim and fancy.

' Neither will she commit the far great-

' er error of risking his 1 health merely

that he may keep up in his school

grades. .

Next to the mother the responsibil-

ity rests upon the teacher. Any child

, showing symptoms of illness must be

carefully inspected. If doubt exists

the teacher must be ruled by the wel-

fare of the majority and the child

must be excluded. This rule should

hold good even though. the illness

seems to be “just a cold.” Almost

all colds are contagious. The child

with 'a cold will get well ten times

quicker by staying at home in bed.

Furthermore many serious diseases

have the symptoms of a cold in the

early stages. Teachers should be sup-

plied with a clinical thermometer and

understand how to take temperatures.

It can be learned in ten minutes.

Let us hope that none of the intelli-

gent parents who are our readers

would think of being angry with a

teacher for sending a child home on

suspicion of illness. The‘teacher is

bound to make some mistakes but





you can always get a doctor to de— -





cide. Give your teacher the aid of

a school nurse and you will lessen dis-

putes and save your children frorn

much preventible illness.



Do not allow common drinking cups

in your school, nor the use of common

or roller towels. It is a simple mat-

ter for you to see that a clean towel

is placed in your child's lunch basket.

You should visit the school often

enough to satisfy yourself that it is

kept clean and light; that the well is

protected from contamination, and

that the priviesare clean and fly-

tight. These are practical ways in

which you may safeguard the health

of your child.

What is it and is there

any cure for it?—-Emma M.

Housemaid’s knee is a swelling and

inflamation of the bursae of the knee

joint, so called because it is brought

on by-injury or irritation from bruis-

ing the knee as,“housemaids” were

supposed to do in the days when the

hired help used to go down on hands

and knees to scrub floors. Mark

Twain‘brought the disease into fame

by saying that it was the only thing

he did not find himself to have after

he had finished reading a book on

home medical practice. It is treated

by rest in bed and local applications

and its curability depends upon

whether treatment is begun early, be-

fore the condition becomes chronic.

Please tell me if boracic acid solu-

I do not think it likely. It might

eczema is often aggravated by any

watery solution.

IA doctor who is attending a friend

said that he had “risus sardinicus.”

Please tell us what this is.—G. G.





It refers to a grinning condition or

expression that is produced by spasm

of the facial muscles. It may be ob-

served in chorea or St. Vitus dance.

The patient appears to ,be grinning

but generally feels far from it.

Dear Uncle Frank:



I amia girl 14 years old and live

on a farm. I like it very much, for

:there are so many things that are so

interesting. We have six cows and

I am raising a Jersey calf. She is

a beauty; I call her Fanny.



I also have four Ithorough—bred

Hampshire sheep, all my own. The

first one was given me for a Christ-

mas present three years. ago. She

raised two lambs which weighed 1_18

and 122 pounds and I sold them for

$70.00. ,They won first premium at

the Ohio State fair.



I have been a member of the can-

ning club, sewing club and pig club.

I must close and hope this letter does

not find the waste paper basket like

the last one.——Your niece, Ruth Gene-

vieve Wilson, Montgomery, MlCh.

who are active in club-work. When

Dear Uncle Frank:



I received my pin and card some

time ago; I was very glad to get it.

I think our motto “Work to Win” IS

a good one. Don’t you?



How many M. C’s. are members of

the Sunbeam club? 1 am. That club

has over 10,000 members. I wish the

M. C’s., would elect a president and

other officers and have branch clubs.

In these branch clubs we could have

canning meets and parties. Don’t you

think it would be nice? I do, and I

hope the other M. C’s. do, too. Well,

I must close as my letter is getting

long, and I sincerely hope this letter

misses 'that horrid waste paper bas-

ket—Yours truly, Katherine Schroe-

der, M. C., Laingsburg, Mich. .



I am always glad for Merry Circle

suggestions. Thanks. Some of these

days the M. C. will have a president





and everything.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Just before Christmas I wrote you

a letterfbut I guess it found the waste

basket. . .



I do enjoy farm life. We milk ten

cows and I milk two night and morn—

ing. e have four horses and my

father gave me one which we got

with the farm. Her name is Polly

and she is some horse. Our neigh-

bors say fifteen years ago she could

pass anything around here. I run er-

rands with her, get the cows and of-

ten go pleasure riding. My, 1_ do en-

joy those rides. Don’t yo_u.think you

would enjoy horse-back riding, Uncle

Frank? _

told me of the poor little 'heathens

So she got me a little Sunday Schoob

ever earned, and saved until I had

. Among the Club Workers





Nddz'IzelWoad MaéeJZGooa’ 2‘72 Sewing





HEN Miss Elda Robb, assistant

state boys’ and girls’ club lead~

er, and G. E. Stewart, then Wayne

county club leader, started boys’ and

girls’ clubs in the Belleville school

four years ago, Nadine Wood was one

of the charter members. She is still

a club member, which must indicate

that Nadine liked club work and

found it profitable.



Nadine started in a sewing club in

which about thirty started. That year

she won first in her own club but

went to the Plymouth Fair and didn’t

win a thing. ' ‘





When the second year cot-sewing





work was organized, Nadine was one

of the twenty',’who stayed by, They

had regular meetings that year and

wound up a Very enjoyable year’s





work with a club picnic.. She got first '





again in her own' club and woh second

prize ,at the Plymouth contest.



In the. third year’s work there was

about fifteen. This time .Na‘dine did~

n’t join until about three weeks before





the Club round~up but then she got‘





busy and won third place. .



In the last or fourth year of sew-

ing work, Nadine stayed right by the

work and came out on top again. She

must be a good sewer to win out so

persistantly.





She says she has» learnt much from~





her club-work: and wouldn’t have

missed her experience «for anything.





"She now sews. h” W” .°1°the8.fisnd .Nililne Wood washing Her ‘Pcu.





     





what she wore showed that she did

a good job. She also does fancy

work for others for which she gets

paid.





However, Nadine liked club work





best because it gave her some real





objective to work for and kept her'





mindoccupied with good wholesome

constructive thoughts. Her experience

in this Work, she 'says, has taught her





things which Will prove most valua-v





ble in after life. She thinks it would

pay. every boy and girl to join a. club.

many of your contests but have never

won anything yet. But I intend to

live up to the metto “Work to Win,"

so I am trying again in the Mixed

on trying until I win something.

H-AAL—l-H-I
One night .I went to the barn to

gatherthe eggs. In a hen’s nest in

a manger were some tiny kittens. The

next night I went to look at them

and there was a sitting hen hovering

over and clucki’ng to the kittens. And

they-were trying to get something to

eat, for the hen would‘not let the

cat in where her kittens were.



I had to put the kittens in a box

with their mother, so the hen could

not get in. I covered over the box,

leaving just space enough for the old

cat to get in and out, for the old hen

persisted in claiming the kittens-—

Evelyn Smith, R. D. 1, Ypsilanti, Mich.





 





Once I saw a snake swallow an egg.

I made an attempt to kill it. It tried

to escape and enter the chicken park

through a small knot-hole. But the

egg it had just swallowed was larger

than the knot-hole. The snake tried

and tried. Then it saw another egg

and devoured it. By that time I was

in the chicken park and ready to kill

it. The snake tried to come after me,

but the first egg kept him from en-

tering and the last from going out

and so the snake was unable to fight

for itself, although it was a very large

blue-racer.——Helen F. Fritz, Lawrence,

Michigan.





 





I had a mother goose and I set her

on ten eggs. I let her set on them

four weeks and two days, and when

I took-her off the nest there was only

one egg picked and it was picked in

two places. The next day I went and

looked again. Nine of the eggs were

rotten and the other was not hatched

yet. The next morning I went and

looked and there was two little geese

\ almost out of the shell and they were

parted by a skin right in the center

of the shell. They came out fine and

lived to be large geese.——Clayton

Doan, New Boston, Mich.





 





One time when I went after the

cows I cut through the cat field to

the pasture and there in the field by

a shock of oats was a woodchuck

with a tin can on his head.



He had come from a junk pile

about one—fourth of-a mile away. Un-

doubtedly there was salmon or some-

thing he wanted in the can but got

his head in the can by force and

could not pull it out—Charles Frank-

if there is to be any permanent bene-

This provision will make some people

law the State Horticultural Society

and the Fruit Inspection Division of

the State Department of Agriculture

felt there were some changes desir-

able and others necessary. A few were

suggested to make it more practical,

understandable and possible of ac-

complishment; others were made to

strengthen it in weak and obscure

places.



B1iefiy the more important alter—

ations are as follows:



In Mich. Fancy Grade—the apples

in any given package shall be “uni-

form in size,” which means they can-

not vary more than one-half inch in

transverse diameter, thus securing a

very attractive, uniform grade. The

tolerance is increased slightly—giving

5 per cent for apples which may be

below the color required and 5 per

cent for apples which may have very

slight defects.



In Mich. Standard A Grade — the

apples must be “good size,” which

means that all apples must be at

least 211-; inches in transverse diame-

ter, except certain named varieties—

Chenango, Golden Russett, Jonathon,

Grimes’ Golden, Red Astrachan, Yel-

low Transparent, Maiden Blush, Black

Gilliflower, Fauuense (Snow) Tolman

Sweet, Red Canada (State’s Red), and

Esopers Spitzenburg, which may be

21,; ' inches.



The tolerance is slightly increased

so that there may be ten per cent of

defects as well as ten per cent, by

weight, deficient in color. This was

not a desirable change but became

necessary to conform to the Mich.

Under Color Grade. This “Under

Color Grade” is a new grade intended

to take care of apples which are not

highly enough colored to be put into

.Mich. A Grade, but are “good size”

and just as free from injury caused

by insects, disease, bruises or any

other agency that at all seriously af-

fects the appearance and keeping

quality.



Any grower or dealer grading and

packing this grade will need to be





also making Mich. A and Mich. B

Grades,“ so that he does not get them

confused and into the wrong packages

or get them Wrongly labelled. Many

people are much opposed to this

grade, claiming the apples which it

includes, especially with some vari-

ties, are low in“ quality, even for

in size, quality or color to those con-

stituting the face or shown surface.

This should correct a great deal of

dishonest packing that has occasion-

ally been practiced.



A unique provision, yet one that

should prove very valuable, is the one

in regard to “A Drops.” Clean, well-

colored apples, which are recent

windfalls, or which drop in picking

and which are often scarcely injured

at all but still cannot be considered

hand-picked apples—~may be packed

this way and sold quickly as such.

Very often they sell at very good

prices. All other drops should go for

cider, vinegar or stock.



One other important provision

makes definite minimum sizes for

Mich. B and the Orchard Run Grades.

They may be not greater than one-

quarter inch less than the sizes fixed

for Mich. A Grade. This is based on

the usual customs iri‘grading, but was

thought necessary to counteract

abuse and laxity in the case of many

packers.



Other changes can be determined

by a study of a copy of the laws

which can be secured from the State

Department of Agriculture at Lansing

Inspector, or from the County Agri-

cultural agent.



Eve1y apple grower, packer and

dealer in Michigan is urged to coop—

erate to the fullest extent with the

inspection service, so that Michigan

Standard graded apples may be abso-

lutely dependable and favorably

known as far as they are shipped and

sold. Only by the most careful grad-

ing and packing and labelling can

Michigan apples be expected to com-

pete advantageously this year with

the apples from the, many other

states which are reporting heavy

crops of fine fruit.



Pick, grade, and pack carefully;

label carefully, completely and plain—

HORT. ADVICE FOR STATE

INSTITUTIONS".





 





RECENT trip of inspection by .

O. K. White, chief inspector for ‘

the State Department of Agriculture, ‘





revealed that the fruit plantations of

the various state institutions were in

a bad state of neglect. Mr.‘ JMhite

found that

neglected, new ones had not

planted or pruned properly.



There is enough land devoted to

fruit growing on the farms of these

various institutions to make it profit-

able to hire a competent horticultur-

ist to supervise their care.





MICHIGAN SHOULD STORE ITS

OWN FRUIT.





 





ROF. R. A. MARSHALL, of M. A.



C., has been making an investiga-

tion of fruit storage facilities in Mich-

igan. He finds that the state is sadly

lacking in this respect and his investi-

gation reveals that if Michigan fruit

is to be marketed to advantage, at

least half of the crop should be

stored in the state.





Too much of Michigan fruit is sold -





at harvest time at the low prices pre-

vailing then; or it is stored in other

states. This makes it necessary for

Michigan merchants to purchase west-

ern fruit.





At the Farmers’ Week last Febru-

ary, many of the farmers were apple-

hungry, and the students who had

charge of the hort. exhibit looked all

over Lansing to find some Michigan

apples to sell. But all they could find





was western stock. Toward the end—





of the week, they sold__apples from

their exhibits at five cents apiece. An

investigation made by the Detroit

Municipal Bureau of Markets, showed

that there were 250 cars of Washing-

ton apples, over 150 cars of New York

apples, and many cars of apples from

other ‘states received in Detroit in

January, 1922, but not one car of

Michigan apples. In February, the

same number of carloads were re-

ceived, of which only two were Mich~

igan grown.



Mr. Marshall says that the prices

received in the spring as compared

with those received at harvest time

will pay one liberally for storing'his

fruit. He believes that at least one-

half of the Michigan crop ought to

be stored in the state at shipping

points. Farm storage plants, where

orchards are large enough to warrant

them, and storage houses centrolled

by cooperative associations would

help greatly to have more Michigan

fruit consumed by Michigan people.





NEW YORK GROWERS ARE

SATISFIED. ‘ '





 





THE outcome of the national co-op-

erative sales service of the Fed-

erated Fruit and Vegetable Growers

was sufiiciently satisfactory last year

EN counties in Michigan have



two or more Cow Testing As-



sociations. In the State of

Michigan 46 associations are oper-

ating and 9 additional associations

are organized, awaiting testers. In

May, 1922,14 Cow Testing Associa—

tions were running in Michigan.

reason for the growth of these organ-

izatoins may be found in that the defi-

nite results brought to the Cow Test-

ing Associations’ members proved to

them that efi‘icient production of milk

and butter fat at all times of the year

is the best paying proposition.



Some of the few things that the

Cow Testing Association will do for a

great number of dairy owners in

Michigan are as follows:



First, it— will show the individual

value 0f each cow in each herdIby

furnishingv a yearly record on each

cow in the herd. Often one or two

cows may cut doWn the income of the

whole herd until it is not very profit-

able. One Cow Testing Association

member found that his” eleven cows

returned him a larger monthly milk





The,





fit from butter fat sales of $128.71.



Fourthly, the value of proving a

herd sire is fully determined through

the Cow Testing Association. ' It is

the best method to measure profit

along breeding lines. One man found

after belonging to a Cow Testing As-

sociation for one year that he had one

cow that produced 471 pounds butter

fat at arp’rofit of $78.79 over feed cost.

Her daughter produced 514.5 pounds

of butter fat at a profit of $108.44 over

feed cost and her granddaughter pro-

duced 540.8 pounds of butter fat at

a profit of $99.85 over feed cost. This

fact proved to him he was using sires

that increased rather than decreased

the production of his herd.



Fifthly, the Cow Testing Associa-

tion points out the best economical

feeding practices. The Cow Tester,

himself well acquainted with the val-

ue of feeds and feeding, helps to bal-

ance up and point out the best and

cheapest possible ration.



The cost of the Cow Testing Asso-

ciation for anyone is not great. The

average number of cows of the 1,168

other man milking ten cows found

that by cutting out three unprofitable

cows he was able to increase the av-

Secondly, it gives a basis to build

up a better dairy herd. In one of the

Michigan Associations a man found a

pure bred cow which was being kept

at a loss of $33.02, while her daugh-

ter, a mature cow, was being kept at

a loSs of $25.11 after paying the year-

ly feed cost. Without the facts

brought to him through the monthly

Cow [Testing Association records a

sound business herd could not have

been successfully built.





Thirdly, the value of the cows and

younger stock is often increased

through the Cow Testing Association

records. One of the most striking





Jackson County Associations during

the past year. Mr. D. Keeler offered

the pure bred Jersey cow, Bow, for

sale at $50.00 or in exchange for an-

other cow. His best offer on her was

$35.00. The cow tester suggested that

he retain Bow,_and feed her systemat-

ically and watch results. In nine

months’ time in the Cow Testing As-

sociation this cow made a profit over

feed costs for Mr. Keeler of $128.71

as the following production will show:

herds listed in the 55 Michigan Cow

Testing Associations today consists

of about 10 cows. The average cost

for a 10 to 12 cow herd is about $36.00

to $38 for a year. This amount is

often saved in many different ways

through the course of the Association

year.





DAIRY FLASH ES.





 





The final test of any dairy breed

for your purposes is your personal

reaction with respect to that breed.





If you do not grow into the dairy

business slowly you are quite apt to

grow out of it very quickly.





 





At Lowell, there is another world

champion cow. She is DeKol Plue

Tegis Dixies who has a record of

33,464 pounds of milk‘ and 1,349

pounds of butterfat in 365 days.





 





M. L. Noon, vice-president of the

Michigan State Farm Bureau, and di-

rector of the Michigan Milk Produc-

ers’ Association says that legislation

will not help the farmer to any great

extent. He believes that cooperative

marketing and systematic abandon-

ment of farms to reduce production

will solve the farmers’ woes.





 





In North Dakota, the experiment

falfa has produced 50% more hay

than land receiving manure- Seven .

HE breeder of purebred swine

has constant need of shipping

crates. 1T0 the slipshod breeder





but the man who takes a little time

and trouble to organize his, shipping

department will gain in both money

and satisfaction. ‘



I have paid express on hogs, sent

me (by what were supposed to be

reputable breeders when the crates

weighed three times as. much as the

pig. Very likely when my order came

in the only crate in stock was the

oversized one, and as I was paying

the express, the shipper passed the

buck to me. I have received hogs

when the crates were in such poor

condition that I didn’t dare risk the





journey home from the station, With-

out bracing the crates extensively.

Large manufacturing concerns have

found that a. little intelligent design-

ing of crates saved them large sums

of money in lumber bills and freight

charges. A properly designed hog

shipping crate can easily be fifty per-

centxlighter and one hundred percent

stronger. Besides there is the adver-

tising value of good appearances. I

know farmers who have been posi-

tively ashamed to take home the slip-

shod crates in which they received

blooded livestock. ' An attractive

package counts in the livestock busi-





_ ness as well as in other commercial





fields.



I never was much of a carpenter

myself, and some of the crates I

built would most certainly not fall

into the approved classifications. In

our community at the present time

hardly anybody builds his own crates;

they are all made to “order at the mill

and sash works.

to'ry crates are not always Secured,

as proper designs are often lacking.



Recently some experiments were

conducted at the United States Forest

Products Laboratory, in co-operation

with interested agencies, and the fol-

lowing building guide for hog crates

is the result. Crates built along that

plan have been triedout under'prac-

tical conditiOns, and found satisface

tory. These are the steps in the

simplest method of crate construc-

tion:

1.——Cut four uprights, two for each

2.—Cut enough slats for both sides.

3..—Nail the slats on. the uprights,

proper distances apart.



Nail the sides onto the floor by

nailing the uprights to the-skids.

1.——Remember that the slats are on _



the insides of the crate. ”

2.——Drive the nails so that the

heads will be on the inside and

clinched on .the outside/of the

crate.

IV. Cut the top and end slats.

V. Nail the top and end bars, spacing

properly. .

VI. Build the end gate.

sized hogs are as follows: For pigs

pounds.) For pigs 225 to 500 pounds,

width, 2’; height, 3’4”; length, 6’6".

For aged animals, 600 to 800 pounds,

width, 2”2”; height, 4’; length, 7’.



, White pine is an excellent wood

for crates, and the most often used.

Other good woods are aspen, bass-

wood, cottonwood, cypress, chestnut,

jac‘k pine, Norway pine, spruce,

western yellow pine, and yellow pop-

Harder woods are heavier and

more difficult to nail. Material, 1 inch

thick and 4 inches wide is best.





One of the greatest nuisances I

ever encountered in hog crates was

the crate without an end gate. When

ends had to be knocked off and then

renailed, not only was the crate dam-

aged, but loading and unloading was.

made difficult. It is easy to build an '

end gate, with cleats across it, and so

arranged that the gate uprights fit

into a notch in the top cross piece.

The crate is opened by sliding out

the end. gate.





Broken legs are prevented .bywput-

ting the two. bottom boards on the

sides close encugh together so that

the hog cannot get his feet through.

By nailing the. floor' boards "crass-wise

on the 2”x2”; runners, and far enough.





’apart to prevent curling and warping,





a much more substantial and durable





floor is the result.

marketing is necessary, this, no doubt,

is the best practice.



However, no definite rule can be

laid down as to the best time to plan

on disposing of this crop. Sometimes

it is in the fall and again in the

spring. Usually, no two consecutive

seasons are alike. Every year must

be considered by itself and plans laid

accordingly.



This, however, can be said—the

market is nearly always ready to pay

a premium for well—finished mutton.

Half finished stock is in demand only

for feeding stock. The man who is

equipped with shelter, conveniences

for feeding, and plenty of the right

kind of roughage and grain should

carry the lamb crop through till fin-

HIM M BROS.—HOG BREEDERS.





 





I T often happens that we meet

with agreeable surprises when we

visit people and their farms for the

first time. Such was the case when

circumstances recently gave us the

privilege of stopping at the farm of

Himm Bros, near Chesaning, in south-

ern Saginaw County.



There are three of the boys and

they are an industrious trio. The two

‘older ones live with the parents in

the old home. The other is married

and lives next door. They have a

liberal acreage of good farm land and

their speciality is hogs. A few years

ago they began ,to look around for

something better than the common

run. solet go some good money and

brought from Illinois, Iowa and Mis-

souri, a few high-class Poland Chinas.

Infected Udder.—Our dairy herd

have contagious garget. Will their

milk harm cats and chickens if fed

to them? Will milk from non-infected

udders harm human beings if they

use it? Mrs. J. W. Falladay, Milan,

Mich—Boil the milk and it can be

safely fed to cats and poultry. If

possible, separate your cows; if not,

they may all become infected. The

milk from non—infected cows can safe-

ly be used.



Effect of Choking Indigestion.—

Have an old cow that has always

been healthy until last fall; she then

choked on eating an apple, bloated

badly and since then she occasionally

chokes on dry feed. I notice she fre-

quently bloats in left flank and gulps

up foul gas. When she came fresh

she gave 18 quarts milk, now only

six. She is running on rape and clov-

er pasture, but fails to thrive. It dis-

tresses her to swallow food. I have

been a subscriber to the Michigan

Farmer for a great ‘many years and

could not keep house without it.



H. Mikeno, Shiloh, Mich.—-A chronic

ailment of this kind is usually in-

cureable. However, try rubbing on

Unhealthy Sow.—-In April, my sow

lost her litter of eight pigs, none of

them lived to be 3 days old, but they

,seemed to be healthy when they

came. A neighbor said the sow had

milk fever, caused by high feeding.

She was fed skim milk and potatoes.

She has been lame since April, due

,to farrow August 25th, and her lame-

ness increases. Earl C. Marks, Bel-

laire, Mich.—I am unable to say what

caused the death of your young pigs,

however it is most likely to be the

result of diet and care of sow ‘and

pigs. Give sow good care, keep her

clean, bowels 0 en, and prepare a

clean place for er to farrow in.

WHEAT





Wheat prices advanced slightly last

week to the highest point in a month

and a half and the long distance out-

look is distinctly better. Besides the

reduction of about 50,000,000 bushels

in the combined crop and carry-over

compared with last year, the supply

of rye is less than a year ago, and

there are smaller crops of white and

sweet potatoes, buckwheat, and even

rice which substitute for bread gains

«to some extent. Central markets re-

port a good demand for rye, to be used

for feed in place of high—priced corn,

especially since excessive rains have

lowered the grade of much unthreshed

wheat. “Intention to plant” 15.5 per

cent less winter wheat and nine per

cent less rye than last year also has

been a helpful influence. Foreign in-

terests have been counting on a sur-

plus of over 500,000,000 bushels in

North America, which is probably 25

to 35 per cent too high. In spite of

the reduction in North America, there

are prospects for all the wheat in ex-

porting countries that importillg na-

tions will be able to purchase, even

at fairly ‘low prices. Foreigners are

not contracting ahead freely, prefer-

ring to let ‘exporting countries carry

the wheat until it is needed. Primary

receipts in_this country are holding up

unusually well. The visible supply

has gained 20,000,000 bushels, an un‘

usual quantity, in the last four weeks.





CORN .





Cash corn prices advanced into new

high ground last week. Eastern and

southeastern distributors and corn in-

dustries are buying freely, while pro—

ducers have not sold enough to permit

building up stocks at terminals. The

first new corn to arrive is likely to

find a warm welcome and readjust-

ment of' prices to the new crop basis

may not take place for six or eight

.Weeks. The crop has plenty of mois—

ture in nearly all sections and is very





g osappy, so that hot weather is needed

I “to mature it before frost. -

they are about 25 per cent.below nor«

accumulating at terminals, however.

Combined yields of oats in sixteen

countries show an increase of 4.1 per

cent over last year, according to the

department of agriculture. ~





SEEDS





Cloverseed and timothy prices ad»





vanced last week. Reports to the de-

partment of agriculture indicate that

the timothy seed crop will be about

one-third less than last year, and scat-

tered observations of the Cloverseed

crop are not flattering.





FEEDS ‘





The feed market is firm, with both

wheat and corn feeds quoted higher

Jobbers and dairy-

men who are buying through cooper-

ative organizations are said to have

been contracting for their winter re-

quirements and have put the market

up rapidly. Linseed meal and cottom

seed meal also are quoted higher, but

buying is said to be light.





HAY





Country loadings of hay are report-

ed to be of small volume, receipts at

the leading distributing markets are

light and demand from consuming sec-

tions, particularly the southeast, is in-

creasing so that prices are firm.





POULTRY AND EGGS





The trend of the fresh egg market

is unquestionably upward, with high

grades advancing much more rapidly

than low grades. Receipts at the lead-

ing markets have been running con—

siderably higher than at this time a

year ago, but there seems to be more

than a corresponding increase in the

.rate cl‘ consumption. Poultry prices

remain remarkably high when the vol-

ume of receipts is considered.

of a small increase in receipts at the

principal markets, a temporary de-

cline in the distributingdemand, and

belief 0n the part of the butter trade

that fall production would be relative-

ly heavy. The outlook is favorable

for higher prices during the'fal‘l, how-

ever, as consumers are using more

butter than lastyear in spite of the

fact that prices are about 25 per cent

higher, production reports from the

leading creameryl manufacturers’ as-

sociation indicate ' a smaller make

than last year, and stocks in storage

at the four leading cities have declin-

ed during August, whereas they have

always shown a substantial gain dur-

ing that month in previous years.





Prices on 92-score fresh butter

were: Chicago, 43'1/2c; New York

44%c. In Detroit fresh creamery in





tubs sells for 40@420.





. POTATOES





Potato prices advancedmoderately

last week in. both consuming markets

and at shipping points. Receipts were

slightly smaller than in the preceding

week and smaller than in the corres-

ponding week last year or two years

ago. Potatoes are coming rather free<

ly from a large number of states, with

New Jersey, New York, Idaho, Kansas,

Colorado and Minnesota taking the

lead. U. S. No. 1 Irish Cobblers are

quoted at $2.60@2.75 and early Ohios

at $2.20@2.35 per 100 pounds in Chi-

cago. -





APPLES





Apple shipments have been averag

ing about 100 cars per day for the last

three weeks. No. 1, Yellow Transpar-

ents and Duchess are quoted at 750@

$1.50 per bushel in Chicago.





PEACHES.





The carlot movement of peaches has

declined about one-third in the last

two weeks and prices have advanced.

Elbertas from the northern states are

quoted at $3.50@4 per bushel for the

large sizes in the principal consuming

markets. Small sizes of yellow varie-

ties are around $1.25 per bushel in

Chicago.





GRAND RAPIDS





Shipments of fruit from this market

increased this week, both independent

buyers and the growers’ association

competing for carlots. Cash buyers

were paying 40@65c per bushel for

Duchess apples; $1m;1.25 per bushel

CATTLE SUPPLY IN EXPANSION

STAGE.





 





 





The summer and fall beef harvest

became more general last week. Re-

ceipts at the leadingmarkets increas-

ed about 15 per cent and are now

nearly one-third larger than the first





week in August, as well as the largest ’





since last November, when the move-

ment from the range was subsiding.

The southwestern pastoral area is still

the chief contributor but each week

brings a modest increase in the sup-

ply of western rangers.



Demand for good beef maintains

surprising breadth, and prices have

held remarkably, considering the size

of the run. Prime heavy steers were

elevated to a new top of $13 at Chi-

cago last week, while yearlings reach-

ed $12.65. On all grades below choice,

a moderate decline was registered.

Following the usual August and Se

tember precedent, the veal calf tra e

developed into a scramble for num-

bers, with price up $1. .



Shipments of stockers and feeders

from the twelve leading markets ‘in

the last four weeks have not been so

heavy as in the same period last year

but feedlots will probably be about as

well filled as a year ago. Higher pric-

es for fat cattle than last August tend

to offset the advance in corn.





NEW TOP ON HOG MARKET.





Advancing hog prices have not start-

ed a deluge in the last three weeks

and the gains have been held. Evi-

dently the old crop of hogs is being

cleaned up at last. Top prices last





 





week went above $9 at Chicago for-





the first time this year. The supply

at the principal markets was by no

means light. In fact, it was the heav-

iest ever known at this season of the

year, but it was about twenty per cent

lighter than in June and July, small

eastern markets needed more, and the

shippers were active buyers while the

large packers have a big fresh pork

trade to satisfy.





 





UNITED STATES BEEF SUPPLY

CONSUMED. AT HOME.





 





Growth of population in the United

States to a point at which the domes—

tic market has become large, enough

to absorb the country’s normal beef

production is the‘chief reason why

American beef is no longer an im-

portant source of supply for Great

Britain, says Charles J. Brand, mar-

keting specialist for the department

of agriculture, who recently studied

the meat trade situation in Europe.

Another factor working an increase

in our beef exports, he declares, is the

lower costo‘f beef production in coun—





tries like Argentina which are still in





the pioneer stage. ,
