DETROIT,SEPTEMBER29, '1923
CURRENT COMMENT

We are fast learning that, with an
occasional governor, there is little or
no need of a state constitution what-
soever.

Cicero held that there were two
kinds of contentions, one by reason,
one by force; the former is proper to
men, the other to brutcs.

 

 

Despite the fact that cash dividends
paid by railroads have decreased six-
teen per cent since 1913, and taxes
jumped 135 per cent, we would have
enjoyed having a hand in the cutting
of that $271,567,000 railroad melon last
year.

Why pay more per pound for one
animal than for another? There is a.
reason and it is this: Cattle dress
from forty‘eight to sixty-six per cent
of the live weight; hogs from seventy-
five to eighty-five and three—tenths,
and sheep and lambs from forty-two
to fifty-eight and three-tenths per
cent.

Adversity, the mother of great men,
seemingly has an opportunity just now
of bringing up a few boys and girls
with a feeling of such profound re-
spect and loyalty to the federal con-
stitution that they, as leaders in the
future, will insist upon the punish-
ment of violators of the provisions of
that instrument and on the. ousting of
public officials who have chosen the
pot of porridge.

  
 

 

HERE are many

Drink good reasons why
M we should use more

are milk in our diet. Fur-
Milk thermore, there now

appears to be a real
urgent need for'awakenlng the resi-
dents of our farms and small towns to
the danger of not protecting their bod-
ies against inefficiency and disease oc-
casioned by a meager consumption of
dairy products.

The average daily consumption of
milk in the state is around one-half
pint per person. A pamphlet just is
sued by the State Department of Ag-
riculture tells us‘from data gathered
through reports and by inspectors that
the average per capita use ofmilk in
cities of over 50,000 population is .66
of a pint while in towns of less than
a‘thousand population, the consump-
tion is only .39 of a pint.

Compare this with the quantity of
milk which scientists have found that
we ought to consume to give us the
maximum of health. Doctor McCul-
lum, of Johns’ Hopkins University,

_ the leading American authority on
. Faietectics, who for years has conduct-
ed laboratory investigations

 
 
   
    
      
  
 
  
 
 

on the

’ for every piece of athletics on feeding-

the races, this great authority and oth-
ers, as well, have come to *8. very defl-
nite conclusion regarding our diet.
They tell us without hesitation that
milk is the most available, and-one of
the~best protective foods, and that to
secure the optimum of advantage from
it, one ought to consume at least a
quart or more each day. ~.

From this comparison it is very ap-
parent that we, as a nation, are drink-
ing altogether too little milk. If this
is true of the people living in our large
cities, it is doubly so of those in our
small towns and villages and those
residing upon our farms. It is an
anomaly that those nearest the source
of supply should deny themsei‘ves
most of this elixir of health.

Suppose, for instance, that the peo‘

ple of Michigan would accept and ap-
ply the findings of Dr. McCull‘um and
his co-workers. What would be the
result? The additional milk required
by this increased consumption would
demand an annual total of 250,000,000
gallons. At the present rate of pro-
duction, to produce this volume of
milk would require the addition of an
average of three cows to the herd of
every farm in the state.

This whole proposition of increasing
the consumption of milk has a back—
ground of saneness to it that chal—
lenges every true American citizen.
It means greater efficiency, better
health, a wider demand for dairy prod-
ucts, and a greatly improved agricul-
ture.

It would seem, therefore, that at
least for health’s sake, if for nothing
more, an even more extensive educa-
tional campaign than has been carried
on should be conducted among the
people of the state and particularly
among those living in rural places,
urging a wideruse of dairy products.

inated the need of constant turning.
and prevented sprouting. He put'the
crop inthe barnf earlier, and with less
labor and in better condition than did
his neighbors under identical condis
tions '1

This leads us to remark that, in
farm work particularly, an active
brain dominated by horse sense is the
very best assistance the farmer can
have. With such a mind, farm'work
is always more efficiently done. Fur-
thermore, the recompense is greater.
A man always gets more satisfaction
in‘the performance of any task when
his head has assisted his hands in the
execution of a job. .

Constant and regular exercise of the
brain cells through reading, studying,
comparing and discussing will keep
this important farm assistant in con-
dition for both regular and special
service.

Michigan of market-

The Public
Sales

Circuit ing the product of
pure-bred herds o f
swine. It is not only popular with

the breeders, but it is popular with the
buyers as well.

,A veryscommendable feature of the
pure-bred public sale, as it is being
developed in Michigan, is a high-class
form of cooperation among the breed
ers, which finds expression in the
sales circuit. This simply means the
arranging of a number of sales in eon-
secutive order—one for each day, and
not so many miles apart, so that those
who wish to attend all of them can
easily make the trip from sale to sale.

There is a broad educational value
in these sales circuits that is not sur-
passed by any other breed event of
the season. I do not think we can
except the annual meetings of the
breeders, the live stock tours, or the
shows—they are all valuable in their
partiCular way, but the sales circuit
adds the business feature, and the in-
formal fraternal evenings, full of dis-
cussions founded upon ripe experi-
ences, that are invaluable to the pro-

There is an open road ahead of Mich-
igan breeders for the development of
a high-class public sale business. The
ultimate success of it depends upon
the quality of the stock submitted and
the manner of conducting the sales.
The trail is plainly blazed, and we
have been shown that sensational_
sales, fictitious values, or bogus bid-
ding, do not auger well for perma-
nency or profits. On the other hand,
clean, straightforward business meth—
ods, such as inspire the confidence of _
the public, will help greatly to devel-
op the breed, to increase the number
of successful breeders, and cause the
public sale business to grow better
and better.

Denmark’s present position in the
agricultural world is the more remark—
able' by reason of the‘comparatively
short time in which it has been at-
tained. Denmark has been an agri-
cultural nation from the time of the
Vikings Grain was the chief agricul-
tural product, but centuries of produ'c—

fered from this keen competition.

Meantime, with the concentration
of masses of people in cities a demand
for animal food products had develop-
ed and the .Danish farmer turned to
the dairy cow as the sblution of his
problem. Danish statistics showed
that the price of animal food products
such as butter and bacon had advanc-
ed faster than the‘ price of grain. The

study of cooperative marketing in Northern Europe. He made

tion had virtually exhausted the soil
and grain production had become. eco-
nomically unprofitable. This condi-
tion had prevailed for more than one
hundred years and was one of the
chief reasons for the agricultural re—
form in 1788, when the large agricul-
\tural estates owned by the titled and
nobility classes and worked in com-
mon by the peasants were broken up
and turned over to the peasants.
Unlike the agricultural reforms in
other European countries, the land-
holders were mindful Of the strong
economic and social value of a land-
owning population and they cooperat-
ed with the government in inducing
the peasants to own their own farms.
Some improvements resulted from the
change but modern methods of revit—
alizing the soil were unknown and its
fertility became gradually depleted.
Modern rail and water transportation
also had begun to flood the principal
markets of northern Europe with
cheap grains from the Americas and
Australia, and the Danish farmer suf—

loss of Schleswig-Holstein to Germany
had affected trade relationships and
had caused the Danish traders to turn
from the German markets to the Eng—
lish markets. It was seen also that
the dairy cow would have a beneficial
effect in increasing soil fertility. ‘

Although there was a definite Eng—
lish-consumer demand for a high qual«
ity butter, the disorganized efforts of
individual farmers to meet the de-
mand resulted in the shipping of con—
siderable quantities of mediocre pro-
ducts which affected the prices of the
higher grades. There was not a suffi-
cient quantity of one uniform stand-
ard grade to make proper merchandis-
ing possible. Conditions continued in
this pass for several years until pro-
ducers were forced to realize that if
they were to obtain the high prices
the markets were willing to pay for
quality, concerted action to meet the
demand was needed.

The Danes had already had thirty
years of experience with cooperative
principles through the credit associa-

tions organized in the fifties to lend
money on farm mortgages, the money
being obtained through the sale of
farm land bonds. A system of'con-
sumers’ cooperative stores had also‘
been inaugurated in 1866. The first
cooperative creamery was started in
1882.

The organized effort to produce and
market a uniform product regularly
throughout the year met with large
success, and by 1890 there were 600
cooperative creameries. The secret
of the project,- was that every effort
was devoted toward furnishing the
consumer with the high grade of prod-
uct that he demanded and for which
he was willing to pay a high price.

There are now approximately 1,335
cooperative creamery associations in
Denmark doing an annual business of
500,000,000 Danish crowns. ' Of these
associations 546 are federated into
eleven export associations, the re-
mainder of the creameries operating
on an individual competitive basis.

In 1885 there were 250 cooperative
organizations of various kinds doing
an annual business of. approximately
10,000,000 crowns, as compared with
more than 5,000 at the present time
doing an annual business of over 1,-
500,000,000 crowns. These associations
also own the controlling interest in
the Danish Cooperative Bank at Cop-
enhagen which last year had a clear-
ance of over 13,000,000,000 crowns.

The Bacon Hog Enters.

In their cooperative creamery move-
ment the Danes were early confronted
with the need for utilizing the large
quantities of skim-milk remaining af-
ter the cream was made into butter.
The bacon-type hog was selected as
the solution. In former days Germany
had offered a market for the lard type
of hog but the economic upheaval
wrought by wars had practically clos-
ed this outlet. On the other hand, ur-
gent demand had developed in Eng-
land for a high grade of bacon.

‘ Forestry W ork for M1ch1gan
Federal Station WWI Study Many Practical Fran/ems zn Connection wztn Oar
Reforestation W one By L. A. Cnase

- OLLOWING out the idea of agri-
F cultural experiment stations, con-
gress, some twenty years ago, es‘
tablished eight forestry experiment
stations, mostly in the west, for the
purpose of studying forest "problems
in the national forests.

Quite recently further provision was
made for additional forestry experi-
ment stations in the eastern and lake
s’ ate Four such stations have been
determined upon. One in the south-
ern pineries, one in the southern Ap-
pellachians, one in New England at
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col—
legs, and one in the upper lake region
at the University of Minnesota, with
sub-stations in northern Michigan

Mr. Raphael Zon, of the United
States Forest Service, has been placed
in charge of the northern station and
has been in this territory recently in—
augurating the project. -

The headquarters of the station was
placed at the University of Minnesota,

Mr. Zon explains, because that institu- -
f tion had for some years been sustain-

ing such a forestry statiOn on its own
account This station has been placed

for work in Michigan and Wisconsin.

In Michigan, the first thing to do is
to select a tract of from 1,500 to 3,000
acres of forest land for the use of the
experiment station. Private land hold-
ers undoubtedly will promptly place
such a tract at the service of the For-
est Service. Indeed, in/one or two in-
stances private corporations have al-
ready undertaken reforestation work
and their further cooperation is to be
looked for.

What kind of work will these for-
estry experiment stations undertake?
Mr. Zon explains that there are. many
questions regarding our forests and
their administration that are as yet
unanswered.

Is it really desirable to burn brush
after cutting timber, and if so, how?
It seems that in Minnesota where the
lumber men are required by law to
burn their brush, more fires have been
caused by this operation than before

this restriction was required by law.

The Michigan station will take'a
forty—acre. tract, leave some of the
brush to be disposed of as at present,
pile some, burn some and otherwise
make way with it. When results are
noted and gathered up, we shall have
less guess-work about this question.

Then there is the question of yields
of timber. We want to’know what is
the annual growth of the forest on
various kinds of soil and for various
species of trees. Mr. Zon is sure that
our trees grow as much in a season as
those farther south, because of the
longer summer day here. Exact meas-
urements will remove all doubts on
this subject.

Mr. Zon thinks we do not appreci-
ate the value of our poplar and jack-
pine stands, and points out that one of
the largest western holders is getting
possession of as much land as it can
in its territory. Pulp-wood is a 'very
valuable product of such stands and
he foresees the time when, instead of
using boards as at present, a compo-
sition board produced out of cellulose
will be'largely used. He thinks it un-
wise for our lumbermen to clear the
land of all standing timber; 'they
should rather adopt selective cutting.
he holds, and it is not secret that some

of our lumbermen are coming tolthls'

conclusion.

VMR. GORE GETS ASSISTANT SEC-
RETARYSHIP.

 

' OWARD M. GORE, in charge of
. the Division of Trade Practices of
the packers and stockyards' adminis-
tration for several months, has been
appointed assistant secretary of agri-
culture by President Coolidge, to sue-
ceed Charles W. Pugsley, who recently
resigned to accept the presidency of
the South Dakota State Agricultural
College, This appointment appears to
have given satisfaction to the farm
organization leaders.

- HOLDS EXECUTIVE MEETING.

 

MEETING of the executive com-
mittee of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation will be held in Wash-
ington during the week ‘of September
29, to go over the work of the Wash-

for the coming year

Among the legislative propositions
to be taken up by the federation dur-
of congress
are the Henry Ford Muscle Shoals
offer, the truth-in-fabrics bill, taxation,
consolidation of transportation, crop
insurance, government price fixing on
farm products, and merchant marine
legislation.

A reduction of freight rates is one
of the big questions before the coun-
try, according to Senator Arthur Cap-
per, who recently discussed the agri-
cultural situation with President Cool—
idge. The President is sympathetic
toward the farmers and is desirous of
helping them along what he considers

' sound constructive lines.

DO NOT GO TO FARMS.

 

SUMMARY of immigration statis-

tics given out by the government
authorities indicates that the agitation
for lowering the immigration bars now
being carried on by certain farm lead-
ers on the grounds that unrestricted
immigration will bring more farmers
to this country and give the farmers
more help, is based upon a wrong con-
clusion.

Of the 543,000 immigrants arriving
at the United States ports in the past
year, only 38,000 came in under the
classification of farmers and farm-lab-
orers. And the officials say that the
tracing of distribution of immigrants
shows the total number of immigrants
going to strictly agricultural states
did not begin to equal the number
classified as farm laborers.

It is said to be impossible to divert
the immigrants to the farms in view
of the prevailing high wages in the
cities. The immigrants are locating
in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Illinois and other in-
dustrial states, where work is plenti-
ful in the factories, mills and mines.

 

 

wnsmo UP ON SOY-BEANS.

 

ROWERS are rapidly finding a

place in American agriculture for
the soy-bean. This lowly Oriental
plant now seems destined to become
a real factor in the future of our
farming.

A meeting of the National Soy-bean
Growers' Association was recently
held at Madison, Wisconsin. Here was
emphasized once more, the import—
ance of this plant in the building up
of light soils, in giving an abundance
of nitrogen to the land, in providing a

\ first-rate hay crop and in working out
many economies in the feeding of live _

stock.

While the acreage of soy-beans in
Michigan is gradually increasing, no
definite figures are available. In Wis-
consin the farmers are now growing

crop, while Illinois has run her plant-
ings up to the dignified total of 67 4 000
acres.

Has Many Uses.

Surprise was expressed at. the wide
usage which the byproducts of the
soy-bean enjoy. Oils of the bean are
used extensively to free a. certain per
centage of linseed oil in-paints and
varnishes. Soapris another soy-bean
oil product, while the refined oils have
found fairly extensive use in edibles
for some time past. New uses'are
constantly being found for soy-bean
flour, another edible prepared from
the bean.

With the rapid increase in the popu~
larity of the soy-bean crop, many farm—
ers are interested in the feeding value
of soy-bean products for live stock.
Fortunately conclusive trials have
been carried out at experiment sta-
tions to show definitely the value of

soy- -beans, soy- -bean oil meal and Soy-

bean hay.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD.

 

HE meat industry is facing a

bright future, says the president
of the Institute of American Meat
Packers. Nearly twenty per cent more
meat products have been marketed to
date this year than during the same
period in 1922, which was a record
year. .

o

BANKS WILL COOPERATE.

 

N the campaign to push the use of

Sodatol, the new war salvage ex-
plosive, by the farmers of northeast-
ern Michigan, the bankers have been
asked to loan money to the farmers
to purchase the explosive immediately
before the supply available for Mich-
igan‘s use is exhausted. One of the
first replies, which is certainly encourl
aging, to a letter sent out by the sec~
retary of the bureau requesting loans
to farmers, is that of N. E. Glasser.
cashier of the Gaylord State Savings
Bank: “We wish to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter with reference to
Sodatol, which you anticipate isgoing
to be shipped into northeastern Mich-
igan in large quantities soon, and we
would advise that we will be glad to
extend such help as we can, legiti‘
mately, to parties who may wish -to
purchase this, and call on us for help.”

CREAM ERY DOING CAPACITY
BUSINESS.

 

HE new creamery at Rudyard is

reported to be doing a. capacity
business. This is a result of the re-
cent effort to push dairying in that
section. Outside capital was secured
for the enterprise and an old school-
house was converted to the use of the
creamery. A cow-testing association
of forty members has been established
at Rudyard with a. full-time tester: in

its employ. There are some two hunm

dred cows to be tested. y

ELOW are some real dirt argu-

creases the farm capacity, brings the
farmer in reach of larger markets, en-
ables him to secure better prices, and
makes farm life more attractive to the
young folks. Well, just read what
these men have to say. Next week
you .will read five letters on “Why I

‘MADE HIS FARMING PROFITABLE.

 

HE main reason for buying a truck

was that raising. potatoes, corn
and other common farm products did
not pay well enough to meet the farm
expenses and taxes. We were obliged
to turn to vegetables to help out.
Horses, we found, were too slow to
get these vegetables to market so we
bought the truck and now make the
trip to the city quickly. We are also
able to put in twice the amount of

the boys on the farm—L. S. Panek.

ADVISESI GETTING A Gooo
TRUCK.

 

UY a good truck or keep your mon-

ey, is the thing I have learned by
experience. I bought a second-hand
truck to save money. It proved an
expensive investment, for the up-keep
more than ate up what I saved on
first cost. I expected to speed up op-
erations but was obliged to camp in
many places along the roadside, tink-
ering on what some other wise-econ-
omist had traded ‘in upon a new truck.
I know, however, that a good truck,
adapted to the particular line of agri-
culture, is a great convenience, and
when well managed and cared for will
add materially to the farm income and
eliminate a considerable amount of
the over-advertised farm drudgery.—

Making Poultry Money
By C/zar/er C/ch/ey

a breeding flock. Pullets hatched early
are just as good for breeders as two-
year-old hens, but it is not advisable
to force them by artificial lighting

OULTRY keepers come and go

with the passing seasons. Some

make money out of the proposi-
tion and some fail. The latter are al—
ways dropping out by the wayside, as
is attested by the abandoned plants
frequently seen about the countryside.
However, there are fewer failures with
poultry in recent years than formerly,
and this must be attributed to the fact
that farmers and others are learning
how to succeed with hens. I have
studied the successes of a number of
our prominent eastern poultrymen-
not the fanciers, but the commercial
poultrymen~and I have learned that
all seem to follow, a well defined
plan. I have also been following that
plan for several years and have learn-
ed, I believe, a few things about
chickens.

‘B—I‘ieflywoutlined, the plan is this:
Early hatching and quick maturity of
pullets, selling the broilers at the ear-
liest possible stage of the game, eggs
when eggs are high, forced winter
production and rigid culling during
the spring and summer. It really does
not matter what the breed, although
1 have feund that the general—purpose

' breeds have the preference in the sec-

tion where I have made my investiga-
tions. This might be called intensive
poultry keeping. Here is my plan,
which I confess to have learned from
others, particularly from the poultry
husbandry department of New Hamp—
shire University: Chicks are hatched
or purchased as day-olds in March,
they are matured as rapidly as possi-
ble, the cockerels being sold as broil-
ers at the age of about ten weeks.
They should bring enough to feed the
entire flock until the pullets, com-
mence to lay. ' Properly matured, the
pullets will start production in August
and lay a high percentage during the
fall. A second flock is hatched early
in April and these birds will follow
closely on the heels of the first flock.
During the winter, artificial lighting
is resorted to, then, with the coming
of spring, culling starts. Some of the
birds will be all laid out by the first
of April,‘while others ‘will continue to
produce several months longer. ,
the time the next pullets are ready
for the laying-houses, the“ old birds are
an disposed of and another years

help 1011. Soon it will be too late.

during the winter. Let them take
their own course after they have start-
ed production and do not try to get a

heavy bunch of eggs during the fall

and early winter. The advantage of
keeping a breeding flock lies in the
fact' that one can keep to his own
strain and develop it as he sees fit.
There may be more money in buying
chicks but I must confess there is
considerable satisfaction in building
up a good strain of producers. Again,
1 know several men who make a good
thing by selling eggs to the hatcheries
from February to June. In this case
a better price is received for the eggs,
so, what is lost during the winter, is

» made up in the spring.

This plan of procedure means that
we must have good brooder houses
and brooding equipment. The coal-
burning stove is the most satisfactory
method but even with the best of
equipment, one must watch and work
to keep the mortality down with the
late February and early March flocks.
Thousands of chicks were lost in my
community last spring but much of
the trouble was due to poor coal. The
chicks should not be brooded in flocks
larger than five hundred. Half of that
number is better. However, if one has
chicks by the thousand, it becomes
necessary to brood them in large
flocks. White diarrhea has largely
been eliminated by state testing and
careful breeding. Broilers bring good
prices at a weight of two pounds or a
little less, and when the flock runs
fifty-fifty as to sexes, the cockerels
should pay the feed bill until the pul—
lets begin to pay. Quick maturity is
assured for the pullets by careful feed-
ing and large runs. At maturity the
birds may be placed in the laying-
houses to remain until called out for
market after their days of productive-
ness are over. Of course, other things
that produce poultry money are care-
ful buying of feeds and good methods
of marketing.

EDUCATIONAL 'cosrs.

 

Is there a law to make poor people
help paywell—to-do people’s children’s
schooling?——C. D.

No. All school expenses are raised
by taxes on property. For the most
part the taxes are raised by levying
an asSessment on the property within
the district, apportioned in proportion
to the assessed value of the property,
and regardless of who is the owner or
where he lives—Rood.

 

, RENTAL PROPOSITION.

 

Two years ago in November I mov-
ed on this farm, took the farm, on
written contract on halves, share and
share alike, for one year, with priv-
ilege of five. I brought with me, hay,
fodder, corn, oats and straw to offset
what was here on farm, and I am
about to make a change this Novem-
her and I would like to know if I can
move my share of straw off the farm
—have been advised by some that I
can, and others that I can’t. There is
nothing in the contract in regard to
this matter, but I would like your ad—
vice in regard to this—M. A. D.

‘If straw was furnished by tenant to
offset what was on the farm at the
beginning of lease period, he would
have the right to take his share when
leaving the farm, providing nothing
was mentioned in the lease to the
contrary—F. T. Riddell.

 

WORKING OUT ROAD TAX. ‘

 

What is the law on working out
road tax? I have $40 to work out, and
have a county surveyed road, but it is
not passable. It is the nearest, to
store and railroad station. But the
road overseer wants the work done at
another place three miles from my
farm, which is of no benefit to me.

Tile statutes provide that the over-
seer in each road township “shall see
within his district. * * * but upon
to the performance of highway labor
complaint in writing to the commis-
sioner by any three or more resident
taxpayers of any district that the la-
bor is being unequally and unjustly
applied or improperly done, the com-
missioner shall direct as to the appli-
cation of such labor or the manner of
performing the same. Section 6, Chap-
ter 25, Act 283 of Public Acts of 1903
being Section 4627 Compiled Laws
of 1915.—H. Victor Spike.

DUTY ON ‘GEESE.
_._,_

Could we bring three geese acrossI
from Canada, duty free, or can you
tell us to whom we could write for in-
formation? We would like to bring
some across for breeding purposes if
the duty were not too high—D. C. M.‘
I find no exemption of geese from
duty because of importation for breed-
ing purposes. The duty on poultry is
three cents per pound, which the ex-
press Company handling the shipment
would pay, and add to the charges to
be collected at destination—Rood.

 

 

STATE TELEPHONE TAX.

 

‘HOur rural telephone company, con-
s15ting of twenty members, pays no
tax to the state. If we should charge

people not members of the company
a fee for the use of the line, would
we be liable for a state tax?~B. B. S.‘

Public Acts 1917, No. 339 Sec. 4, re ‘

quires all telephone companies oper-
ating in the state to report to the state
board of assessors; but if the gross
receipts for the year do not exceed
$500, they are exempt from taxation.
The statute specifies nothing as to the
source from which the receipts are ,
obtained—Rood. '

several witnesses. Also, in December,
1922, he sent me $6.00 and promisedto
pay the balance sodn. I am hvingin
another state, coming here from Mrs-
nesota; This man has no real'estate,
but has personal property; is married,
and has an adopted child. Is there
any action to recover the money that
I can start?—A. Y.

The appropriate action is the com‘
mon one‘on contract for the price. It
must be cemmenCed where the debtor
can be found and served with process.
Exemptions are governed by the .law
of the state where the property’is lev-
ied on. On the questions of fact it
might be necessary to have plaintiff’s
testimony to prove a case, which can
be given by deposition or by attend~
ing the trial. The latter is much the
best—Rood.

.-

HIGHWAY FENCES—LAKES.

 

If a lake is entirely on a man's land,
has the owner of the land a" right to
put up a road fence on the highway
after the surveyors have placed his
stakes in the water six or eight feet?
The lake has never been fenced along
theroad for a distance of fifteen or
twenty rOds. It has a small stream
outlet into which he placed tile from
the lake across the.road and covered
with earth. Also, before he placed hlS
fence, government fish were planted.
Can he keep the public off?—F. I.

Compiled Laws (1915) See. 4407,
forbids building any fence within the
highway. which is thereby declared to
be sixty-six feet wide. The land in
the highway, whether dry or covered .
with water, belongs to the abutting
owner subject only to the easement
for public travel. The lake having an
outlet through which fish may pass at
pleasure, and they being wild by 113...
ture, there could be no claim of ex-
clusive ownership ’of them by the own~
er of the land under the lake. They
are public game. There being right
of access to the waters of the lake,
the decision in Beach cs. Hayner, 207
Mich. 93, would seem to support the
right of the public to fish there—-
Rood.

MAKING CIDER.

 

About how much cider will a bushel
of apples make? And should the older
be put in an oak barrel and plugged
tight, or left open? And how is hard
cider made? Is it unlawful to make
hard cider? How long should cider
stand in the barrel to become good
cider?—C. A. J.

It takes about eight bushels of good
juicy apples to make a. barrel of cider
(ten bushels if apples are dry). Au
oak barrel is satisfactory to "put the
elder in and the barrel should be left
open because the organisms causing
the fermentation require air, the same
as you do, for life. The best way to
make hard older is to use sound juicy
apples and put the older in a good
clean barrel. The cider should be in-
oculated immediately with a pure cub
ture of yeast, (Saccharomyces ellipé
soideus) allowed to ferment for about
‘three weeks at a temperature of be—fl
tween seventy and eighty degrees F.‘,
At the end of this time the cider '
should contain from ten to fourteen
per cent of alcohol and is called “hard
cider.” Yes, it is unlawful to make
hard cider for home consumption. For
more detailed information on this
point communicate With the Safety
Department, Lansing. I am sending
you a bulletin from this department-
.telling you how to make good cider
vinegar. We shall gladly send you
cultures for making vinegar out of
your cider. This will enable you to
turn your apples into cider at a profit.

SPRAYING SPU D8 BEST.

 

ESTS made by J. E. Kotila, of the
M A. C. Botany Department, indi-

'cate that the use of, copper sulphate,

nicotine dust is too high ‘in cost to
make it practical. His experiments
show that the common Bordeauxmix—

- ture .is the most practical and eco-

nomical spray to use.
Six applications of the Bordeaux

acre, as compared with 200 bushels on
the checked plot.

The plots which were dusted pro-
duced about 233 bushels per‘acre, at
a 108s because of the high cost of the
material.

 

STRAWBERRIES NEED MULCHIING.

 

HE practice of providing some sort
of covering for the strawberry bed
during the winter months has much
to recommend‘it, both to the commer-
cial grower and to the amateur gard-
ener with only a small patch. Pro--
tectlon of the roots against repeated
freezing and thawing during the ‘win—
ter, preservation of the soil moisture
in the spring, improvement of the phy-
sical condition of the soil, the addition
of plant food to the soil, the smother-
ing of ‘the weeds in the early spring,
slowing up the early growth of the
strawberry plants until after danger
from late spring frosts is past, and
protection of the fruit from dirt at
picking time, are some of the advan-
tages to be gained 'by providing a win-
ter cover for the strawberry bed.’
5 Mulching Materials.
The best mulching material isone

. that can be spread rapidly and evenly

and, at the same time furnish the
greatest protection to the strawberry
plants without introducing too many
weed seeds. The choice of materials
used for mulching‘should depend very
largely on cost and availability,‘that
most easily obtained at the least cost
usually being selected. Coarse, strawy
horse manure is especially desirable,
if not too high-priced, due to its fer-
tilizing value. Marsh' hay, wheat or
oat straw, swale grass, and fallen
leaves are efcellent mulching mate-
rials. Even cornstalks may be used
to good advantage if nothing else is
available. Care must be exercised,
however, not to use such fine material
that the plants ,will be smothered.
This» might' follow from the use of
sawdust or similar substances. The
mulch should be applied to the entire
surface of the ground and should cov-
er the plants from one to two inches.
The best time to put on the mulch is
just after the ground is frozen for the
first time in the fall. When the plants
begin to grow in the spring, the cov-
ering should be shaken up and. pulled
to one side in the space between the
rows in order not to smother the berry
plants.

AUTUMN GARDEN NOTES.

 

Keep house plants clean" and free
from dust Water thoroughly when
the plants need water rather than a
little every day.

There is still time to plant bulbs in
pots -for‘ spring flowers;
cinths, daffodils or tulips. Tulips may
,still be planted out doors to advan-
tage. ,

Better/ put a little good rich garden
soil in the cellar or where it will not
freeze. It will come in handy to start
those early vegetables and flower seed

A PROFITABLE SIDELINE.

 

TELEGRAPH operator at Benton
Harbor worked up a telegraphic
conversation with a certain young lady
operator in Chicago which brought
his profit. After this dot and dash
affair had lasted two years. the young
lady wired that she was going to Phil-
adelphia to work in her uncle’s candy
factory. She mentioned incidentally
that she would send her correspondent
a box of candy.

In a'few weeks a nice box of deli-
cious candy arrived. When the tele—
graph operator bit into the piece of
chocolate confection he was surprised
to find a Concord grape grown in the
vineyards in New York. In return for
the candy he sent her three baskets
of Michigan Concords. To his surprise
he received a telegraphic order for
several more baskets.

The Philadelphia candy maker was
so well pleased with the Michigan
product that this telegraph operator
furnished him with 11,000 baskets last
year; and this year, the man holds a
contract for supplying factories in
New York and Boston as well as in
Philadelphia.

According to the operator, the
candy manufacturers prefer the Mich-
igan grape because of its delicious
flavor and sweetness.

 

MARKET OWN FRUIT.

 

W0 fruit growers near Gibson, in
Ottawa county, William Bjork and
Samuel Lindberg, by name, have es-
tablished a truck line service between
Gibson and Chicago, and as a result,
are eliminating the middlemen and
reaping a good profit over the prod-
ucts of their orchards.
Both men have trucks which carry
seventy bushels of fruit. They'leave
Gibson at midnight and arrive at Chi-
cago at six-thirty in the morning.
About two round trips a week are
made by each. These men are so well

pleased with their truck line that they '

expect to make the line a permanent
one.
prices they receive for the fruits will
pay for the trucks in the first year.

CARE OF SPRAY MACHINERY.

 

HE winter care of spray machin-
ery is very important. Good or-
chardists know that as soon as the
last spraying is finished in the sum-
mer the spray machinery should be
thoroughly cleaned out with enough
clear water run through to clean thor-
oughly all hose, spray rods, nozzles
and pumps. All drain plugs of engine
cylinders, radiators, etc., should be re=
moved to allow complete water drain-
age to prevent freezing.
The winter time is a good time to
overhaul the pump. It should be re«
packed, tightened and thoroughly oil—
ed so that no delay will be caused by
sticking valves or pistons when .it is
necessary. to start spraying‘ again.
Hoops around the spray tank should
be tightened up well and the. inside of
. the tank should be painted to prevent
drying.
The urgent necessity of spraying
which sometimes develops requires

for one of the best ways to honor God
is to make money and use it for good
purposes. It all depends on one’s mo-

enough to live on, one night wandered
into a revival meeting and was greatly

which seemed to proclaim her suitor

ber, had access to Sally. but Seffy had
, not. Seffy confessed that this looked
I sinister. True, he remembered all
that had passed between them. But
once before she had been in error.

So that Seffy, befiire the week’s. end,‘

‘began once more—and more strongly
-—to deprecate the necessity for this
public demonstration of his status. His
‘father demanded it as a diplomatic
necessity, inasmuch as Sally still re-
. tained Sam on a basis so much like
. his own as to make the situation ex-
’ tremely embarrassing to even Old
: Baumgartner, who had let it be known
that he was the active coadjutor of
his son. To vanquish Seffy was to
vanquish him, and he, if not Seffy
himself, screwed Seffy’s courage to the
sticking point. After this, Seffy weak-
ened no more, but proclaimed his pur-
pose. It was generally conceded that
the one who failed now would have
to leave town.
' So here was retiring little Seffy
forced by circumstances into a public
rivalry which he detested, and, it may
as well be confessed—feared. It must,
also, be explained that Sally’s ocurse
in maintaining these two strings to
her bow until the breaking moment
. was not only universally commended,
but was the unswerving custom of the
vicinage for girls so i'ortunate as to
have two strings. It was held likely
to force one or the other to the point
——and this was the purpose of rustic
And Sally’s coquetry was
not only acknowledged; it was toler-
ated, and, I fear, encouraged. And,
alas, it had been as sweet to her as
vinous dissipation to men. But now
it had made not only her own, but
Seffy’s position tremendously more
difficult.
CHAPTER lX.
It was Seffy Who Was f‘Sacked.”
0 they three went to church on a
certain Sunday. Sally sat on the
“women’s side” and Seffy and Sam 0n
the “men’s side” in full view of the
“audience”—~which perceived and un-
derstood and was ready at the proper
time to applaud, from the preacher to
the sexton—to raise or lower its
thumbs upon the combatants.

When the benediction had been said
Seffy hastened out and found himself
a place—~close to the door, according
to his father’s word—in one of the
lines of young men Which stretched
on either side‘of the path from the
church door to the road beyond, at
least a quarter of a mile. But he did
not see Sam. Some. one pushed in
front of him. And, instead of combat-
ing for his position, he yielded it and
found one further down, still seeking
the location of his rival. He was

 

 

crowded from this one, too, and he let
it go and sought another one because
he had not seen Sam. And it was nec-

essary to his father’s scheme, he re-'

membered, that Sam and he should
be about opposite. Of course, all this
was error. .His place was right by the

Lift/e Hour on a Misty More
By William Leonhardt

A/llttle hour on a misty morn,

When autumn's winds wave o’er the tasselod corn,
And lowly scuds above us seem to fly

With moisture laden from the western sky.

The cold, uncheery broodings of the day

_May still be brightened with a sun-lit ray,

And dreamy thoughts, so sad,
Be sweetened for a little hour upon a misty morn.

A little hour on a misty morn,

0 When sobbing winds brood whispers of the coming storm;
Where joy and pleasures hide beneath a darkened cloud,
From where the thunders roll, ‘
The hidden sun may often through the the shadows creep
And blend a golden pathway for our feet, ‘
Wherein a newer friendship may be born
Within a little hour, upon a misty morn.

A little hour on a misty morn,

When autumn’s leaves are shorn by the storm;

And twilight shadows creep o’er nature’s smile,

And time is quickened on the star-lit dial;

When frosty age has'decked the forms that memory kept,
And autumn's guilded dream is well-nigh slept;

Fond dreams and memories, still may warm

Life's little hour upon a misty morn.

there, even if he had to shed the blood
of noses to stay there. This had often
happened. But he was bewildered in
the contradictory courses advised by
his father,
which seemed best, found that which
was worst. Dull Seffy! .

He at last discovered Sam and found
a lodgment for himself oppOsite and
away down near the gate, where only
the married men were—such as still
waited for their wives—who amiably
smoked until they came along. No
unmarried maiden ever expects to be
matched there. And, had Seffy been
as wise as he was not, he would not
have halted there. But he was delud-
ed by Sam. There he was in the op-
posite line, the wrong one, indifferent-
ly chatting, and even smoking, with
Hilary Groff—a married man. Seffy
was now so sure of his conquest, that
Sam’s indifference vexed him. Evi—
dently he did not mean to contend
with him for Sally’s arm, and it was
to be a cheap and bloodless victory.

and, finally, seeking that.

SallyI—in a trim little hat with a flut-
tering ribbon that ’looked for all the
world like the white signal, bearing
straight down upon him! But there
was something in her eyes—expect-
ant—militant~—that made them starry!
On she came, with her head in the air
—looking neither to the right nor to
the left, as if she expected to walk
home alone, nearly three miles!

“Oh, no!” thought'Seffy—and Sam.

But a bit of terror smote her face
pale when she had passed the door——
alone—and showed more and more as
she went on. Some one laughed”
then there was an unmistakable titter
along the line. Still Sally passed on,
keeping her temper as never before.
Was not the old man right about the
effect of laughter?

But now the temper loosed- itself
slowly—her face was scarlet. She had
nearly reached the married men. Some
one whispered:

“Gosh! He’s gitting even by sack-
ing her!”

Glad. He .13;ng Drop 1: 072 M» Cement Floor of 7716 Barn

father prevented.

either side in huge phalanxes to see

what would happen—if it were possi- ‘

ble that she would have to go home
alone. Several young men who had
na'Ver dared to approach her began to
think of it. They knew that rather

than not be taken at all she would ’

take any one of them! There was
more tumult now than laughter. 5 And
Sally's face grew so white that her
eyes blazed like stars in the midst
of it.

Seffy quailed. He recognized' the
temper—only he had never seen it as
terrible as this. He had forgotten
Sam. It. was only Sally he saw, as
one sees ‘with fear-stalled nerves the
locomotive as it leaps upon him.

And the onlookers, crowding at the
sides, thought it a great and terrible
hand to hand battle—to wait that way
till the last moment and then to spring
like tigers—~or a piece of tremendous
foolishness.

“Both of you must be absolute
sure," said Hilark Groff to Sam, “or
absolute fools! .Ain’t you got no pity
on the girl?” *

“Shut up!” answered Sam, “and
watch. I’m calculating on him leaving
town tomorrow. That is my game.
And I’m playing for the pot.”

You see that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for a moment, even if Seffy had
forgotten him. He stepped noiselessly
three paces toward Sally, crossed in
front of Sefly and took her arm. There
was a laugh almost ribald. Seffy could
not see clearly—he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.

It did not reach Sally at all, but
Sam, who turned and said with an imi-
tation of girlish politeness:

“Thank you, Mr. Baumgartner; I’m
suited. ”

And, Sally, her face flaming with

vengeance, took the trouble to turn ' .

back and cry—not into his ear, but
into his very heart:

There are some people to whom no
puniShment seems sufficient, while any
remains to be administered. One of
the onlookers was of such a sort. He

‘cried out as poor Seffy slunk away:

“Give her back her dollar!”
And another:

“Or ninety-nine cents, anyhow!”

Seffy quailed and drew back from
the line—it was the instant that
makes or mars—and he had lost. He

might still have knocked Sam down.

and won—this would have been per-
fectly proper—but he followed the
man who had but a moment before
crushed through the line, and Wild
jeers followed him.

maddened. After all, it wasn’t worth
while to care for even Seffy with such
a little spirit. \Vhy didn’t he fight——
kill Sam or somebody? And the sun-
ning Sam set the story more widely
going that for revenge Seffy had de-
serted her at the church door and that
he had first laughed—Seffy. This was
too piquant to be passed over, and it
was heard far and wide.

To Seffy’s father, who, even in this
dire strait, strove for happiness for
them both—and, of course, the pas-
tu‘re—field—she said with more aban-
doned disrespect than she had ever
addressed to any one:

"You ought to be glad that I do not
take revenge on him! If he wasn’t so
little I would. But he’s not worth
bothering about. Sacked me, did he?
I’ll show him!”

him over my knee and Spain:

“Sally, don’t talk like that!” pleaded
“.It s 'plles your voice.”
,And Sally gave him then and there
a rude specimen of how her voice was
being spoiled—which I may not repro-
duce. .But it was expressed in anath-
ema. Indeed, others had noticed that,
her voice, somehow, had lost its soft
richness. She was particularly kind
to the young store-keeper now, and he
was particularly reckless and .drunk-
en. And rumor presently had it that
she was known to be drunk with him

sometimes! ~—

“Sa11y—-— ” said Seffy timorously, one
day, (he had waited to tell- her this)
“you dont think—you don’t believe
that I—said———”

“I know,” said Sally in a voice that
froze him, “that you are a fool—and I
am not fond .of fools. Go away! Be
glad I don’t lick you!”

And then rumor had it that she and
Sam werepto be married—“for spite.”

But curiously enough, the person
most affected by all this was not Sally,
nor Seffy, nor Sam. It was Sel’f‘y’s

 

father, whose sufferings were nearing
agony. Nothing could be done with
Seffy. And the course of the love

between them, which had never been
ruffled since Seffy was born, was often
ruffled now. The old man, as their
relations grew strained, became more
and more exasperated at Seffy’s lack
of initiative. (Continued next week).

STAGE FRIGHT.

wfiEN E. M. C. asked me to write
on the subject of stage fright, I

debated the matter. It seemed scarce-
ly a. problem for the health adviser.
Yet it is a genuine problem for many

.persons, young and old, whose duties

I

or studies cause them to occupy the
limelight for more or less extended
periods.

Stage fright has upset many an am-
ateur performance and occasionally,
under special stress, well-salted pro-
fessionals give way to it. It is often
charged to the nerves, but I have
known so many, high-strung, nervous
individuals who are not affected by it,
and so many phlegmatic persons who
suffer with its worst type, that I ac-
quit the nerves of any responsibility.

In my opinion, stage fright is due
to self-consciousness. It comes from
.an overwhelming desire to make a
good impression upon the audience,
and a terrible fear that the impression
will be quite the reverse. It is not
stage fright; it is audience fright. The
very performer who glibly occupies
the stage with a perfect recital during
the rehearsal, may stand there as one
totally dumb, the only noise he can
make being the chattering of his teeth,-
when the audience fills the seats.

The remedy is two-fold: COns ider
yourself and consider the audience.

Under the first head you will reason
yourself out of the notion that the
whole production depends upon' your
selection. You will bring ' yourself
down to frozen facts and realize that
you may be no orator but you do pos-
sess a tongue and other vocal organs.
Therefore it is quite possible for you
to say all that your part demands, and
once you have said it in‘the best way
that your humble faculties permit, you
have acquitted yourself with as much
distinction as you have a right to ex-
pect. The .really humble person who
has no expectation of being crowned
with laurel wreaths scarcely knows
the meaning of stage fright.

The Second part of the‘remedy is to
Consider the audience. They’ are kind-

, 1y disposed. Their hands are itching

      
  
   

You may falter, hesitate and

come to a full stop in the middle of

your piece, and they will try to act as
if it were a—part of the program. Nev-
er fear an American audience. They
never expect anything from amateur
performers and seldom are they dis-
appointed.

So, you see, stage fright needs no
other remedy than a little talk with
yourself about these matters before
you step out from the wings.

SYMPTOMS OF APPENDICITIS.

 

 

Please tell me the symptoms of ap~
pendicitis. Since I was operated on
several years ago, having both ovar-
ies removed, have had a dull hurting
in my right side. But was told at one

time that the appendix was removed;
Would the I

and again that it was not.
removal of the ovaries cause such a
hurting? I am thirty miles from a
good doctor and therefore fail to con-
sult one unless really necessary Is
the appendix usually removed also in
such an operation?—-— F

It is a rule to examine the appendix
during an abdominal operation, and

. remove it if it shows symptoms of dis-

ease. The doctor in charge of your
operation should tell' you as to this.
It is not uncommon for dull pains to
‘persist years after such an operation
as yours. Sometimes this is due to
adhesions. sometimes to a failure in
circulatory adjustment. I have known
such cases to be greatly relieved by
wearing an abdominal supporter. Ap-
pendicitis would be accompanied by
Constipation and disturbance in stom-
ach digestion and the pain would be
felt around the navel as well as in the
right side.

TEETH AND RH EU MATlSM.

I am troubled quite a good deal with
what might be called rheumatism. I
have one tooth that has had the nerve
killed and the tooth filled. It has since
been crowned. Will you please tell
me 1f there is a probability.of this
tooth causing my trouble, and if so,
what the copditions are—J. F

I say, don't lose a good tooth if it
can be avoided. Have an X-Ray pic-
ture made of all the teeth. This will
probably show their condition and
may reveal abscesses where not ex-
pected. If any abscesses show, have
guilty teeth extracted, by all means.

Experiments carried on by' federal

Orangeade, milk, carbonated water and
distilled water held over night in gal-
vanized iron buckets proved that zinc
contamination occurred in each case.
The officials, therefore, warn against
the use of such utensils as containers

PLUMS, GRAPES AND APPLES
MAKE FRUIT SPREADS.

OT only apples, but peaches,

plums and grapes may be made
into butters that are easier to prepare
and require less sugar than the rich
jellies and preserves more commonly
used.

The method is simple. The fruit is
cooked and put through a colander or
seive to remove the seeds and skins.
Only enough sugar! is made‘to make

the butter palatable.
Some. housewives make fruit butter
‘ from the pulp that remains after part
or all of the juice has been extracted
for jellies, but this generally requires '
the addition of some other fruit, or of
a spice, to improve the flavor.

Grape butter is most economically
made as a by-product of grape juice,
and if it is made in this way there is
less chance of having crystals form in
the. butter. If apples are cheaper than .
grapes, or if it is desired to vary the
flavor, one may add a third as much
apple pulp as there is grape pulp.

Apple butter may be made with 'or
without sugar or cider, but the flavor
is better if the apples are cooked in
cider. If the cider and the apples are
both very sour, and the apple butter
is to be used as a spread for bread,
it is best to add sugar..

FEEDING HARDY PERENNIALS.

 

NE year my sister planted several
clumps of peonies. They grew two
years and bloomed nicely, but after
that they refused to bloom at all. I
suggested a good mulching of rotted
manure with plenty of bonemeal ad-
ded, and' the foliage became darkand
lustrous and the plants 'set buds by
the dozens. It was a case of starva-
tion. All hardy perennials that spend
years in the same spot need frequent
feeding to do their best. Some will
bloom on, but they will be enough
finer if fed, to make it worth while.
Poultry manure is ideal as a top-
dressing for the hardy border, but
more organic matter is needed. Mulch-
ing with rotted manure and straw
from around an old strawstack serves
and is not objectionable. Most peren-
nials hide the mulch soon in the
spring. Bonemeal may be mixed with
the rotted mulch or it may be sprink-
led about the plants and worked into
the surface soil.——Agnes Hilco.

POINTS FOR THE NEEDLE.

 

When making buttonholes in baby’s
dainty little clothes or any other thin
material, rub a little library paste on
the wrong side of the goods and let it
dry. This will give a firmer surface
to work on and will not stain the most
delicate fabrics.

If it is your task to sew a wide lace
on a round luncheon Cloth ,or center-
piece, roll the lace in a tight roll and
tie with a clean cord in three or four
places. Wet thoroughly one inch at
the bottom and when it is dry your
lace will fall in graceful circles ready ,
to be sewed.

 

APPLE CIDER KEEPS SWEET
WHEN PASTEURIZED.

 

A PPLE cider may be kept sweet for

an indefinite time by pasteuriza— ' l
tion. The process is very simple, ac-
cording to department of agriculture -
experts.- Sterilize glass top jars or
bottles by boiling for fifteen minutes.
Fill them with freshly made cider and
seal. Then place them in a wash "
boiler on a wooden rack to keep them . ‘ g
from touching bottom. Cover the. jars ' ‘
with cold water and heat slowly to 175

.degrees 1“. Keep pint bottles at this

temperature for fifteen minutes, quart

    
 

gallon bottles for twenty-five minutes.
Allow them to cool in the water bath
and then store them in a- cool, dark

called my attention to the easy

but perhaps it will save a little time
for some other hurried home-maker,
and I am anxious to pass it on.

After- the apples are washed, -1 cut
them in quarters and remove the core
with two trokes of the knife, both
strokes going toward the center. With 3
three short strokes the peeling is re-2

much more time than when I peel be—

THE HORRID ANTS.

 

Could you inform me how to get rid

of the little red ants? Our house is
full of them, basement seems to have
the most, which is a dirt floor.—-Mrs.
R. H. P.
I imagine these ants are sweet-lov-

The “tiny little red ants” might apply
to either one. The grease-eaters being
considerably smaller, however, than
the common red ants which work in

A GOOD FLY DOPE. l

 

WHEN the flies stick close to the

find that this mixture sprayed well
around the door keeps them away to a
great extent. The mixture is made
by mixing three ounces of creolin with .
kerosene and applying it with a hand-
spray to any place where the flies:

.What the W.

B. Didn’t Get

A Few Interesting Letter: from M errjy CIR/er:

Dear Mr. Waste Basket:

Well, how are you this fine autumn
morning? I hope you get this letter
without any delay.

I live on a farm of 190 acres. We
have four horses, sixteen head of cat-
-tle, five pigs and about fifty chickens,
besides about nine cats. Don’t some
of you want cats? If you do come
right along and you will get all you
want. ,

We are talking of moving to Detroit.
If we do I will come and see you,
“Friend Wastebasket.”

The thing I have been doing this
vacation to help, is doing the house—
work for four. My mother died last
March and I have the housework to
do, besides go to school. It sure keeps
me busy.

How would a riddle contest do? I
am crazy over riddles.

Well, I must close. Many thanks
for my membership card and button.
I remain as ever, your niece, Hazel
F. Way, M. C.,‘~Rapid City, Mich.

P. S.——Could any of you boys or
girls send me the following song, “G0
Feather Your Nest.”

I am speaking for Mr. W. B. It
seems that with your farm so well
catified it can not be very much rati-
fied. Yes, do come and see Mr. W. B.
He is always the same——full most of
the time.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I received my Merry Circle button
and card Monday. I have a good way
to remember when I received it. Our
two big barns burned the tenth of
July and we had the barn raising on
Monday. '

We set the table for sixty—five men,
women and children. Well, I got the
measly dinner dishes done again. I
have a lot of them, even if there is
only four of us. We have five men for
dinner that work on the barn.

I am playing the phonograph as I
write. .

We have several rabbits. Grandma
saw a teeny weeny one the other day,
but that one is the one I have not
seen. We had a litter of eight little
ones in the barn when it burned. One
old one escaped but one side of her
is all scorched.

Well, as all of the news is done for

today, I will close—Your niece, Lela
Cooley, Lansing, Mich, R. 1.

That certainly must have been a
busy day. It’s too bad we have to use
dishes when we eat, isn’t it? I won-
der what the phonograph was playing?

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I received my membership card and
pin some weeks ago, but was delayed
in expressing my thanks till now. Per—
haps it is for that reason that I should
like to make my thanks just that much
larger, but it is impossible. Therefore,
I must express them in the simple
words, “I thank you very much.”

I shall not try to describe myself ‘
accurately, becauseas yet I am not
so well, acquainted with my photo-

.graph, and I seldom use my mirror.

card. They are very nice.

Can you read shorthand, Uncle
Frank? Ifyou can, maybe I will write
you a letter some day.

WellkI will close my chatterbox for
.this time. Hoping your old “W. P. B.”

is full—Sincerely your niece, Mary.

RussellLM. C., Plainwell, Mich; ’

No, I can’t “read shorthand; it lopks
too much like hen tracks to me. But
I can read longhand written by short-
hands. Regards from W. P. B.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I have written five or six times but‘

I have not seen any of them published
in the Michigan Farmer. I am an M.

0., too. , ~ .

I do not like the “Idea" of having a
president and vice—president. I think.
you are the president, and I think we
(the M. C.) ought to leave you as you
are.——Your niece, Aletha Eggert, Sal-
ine, ,Mich.

I would like to hear from others who

think we ought to elect oflicers. We;

want both sides of the questions

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I certainly was surprised to receive
a membership card and pin, but I am'
very proud of it and glad to get it. i

Merry Circle Notes

GOT a nice long letter from Beryl

Tony, of Tawas City, who went
right after Harold Coles for his atti-
tude 0n the knicker and bobbed hair
question. It was a fine letter,but it
has come too late, as we have con-
cluded our discussion of that question.

 

What is the next question we should
discuss? It’s time now, for someone
else to start something.

 

I am a little late in printing the
prize cartoons, but it’s better late than
never. The first three prize winners
are on this page. The others will .be
used as I have space for them.

 

Please don’t forget to use M. C.
after your name if, you have received .
a Merry Circle card and button, espe-
cially when you answer the contests.

 

Remember, I want pictures of Merry
Circlers to add to the collection start-
ed with the Photo Contest.‘ I would
especially like pictures of those who
have been most active in Merry Circle
doings. You know what I look like
now, so it’s my time to find out what
you look like.

 

The other day I got six letters in
one envelope, all frOm children in the
same school. These were Virginia
Seyfarth, Marion Temple, Andew Rob—
inson, Elmer McTaggart, Geraldine,
Marion and Clade Kelch, who alllive
near Silverwood and are ,in the fourth
grade. I have received several lots of.
letters from classes like that, and I
enjoy reading them. very much.

 

We now‘have about three thousand
Merry Circle members, three thousand
different Ones who have sent. in good

.pticns I set fro Merry Ctr

papers to the little essay contests or
have answered the read-and—win con-
tests correctly. This shows that the
Merry Circle has grown. some in the
nine months of its existence, doesn’t it?

 

The Merry Circle is very democrat-
ic. I know very few of the members
except through correspondence, and
they are all on a common level, just
good Merry Circlers.

 

-Many have written that we should
organize and elect officers. Perhaps
organization and the election of offi-
cers would make the scope of the
Merry Circle work more broad. There
may be things we could do with such
an organization that we cannot do
now.

 

Others have written that the elec-
tion of officers would show partiality
and cause dissatisfaction. They be-
lieve that we can do everything we
want to do as we are now.

 

I hope that we can organize local
Merry Circles later On and also have
a Merry Circle fund to which those
who wished can- contribute pennies
and nickels to help some worthy rural
cause of interest to our boys and girls. _
The local Circles could have entertain:
ments to raise money for such pur—
poses. '

 

I wish all would tell me what they
think about these matters, as the
wishes of the majority should rule ,in
Merry Circle activities as far as'it‘is
possible. 7 -. ' " ‘ ;

Dear Uncle Frank: ,

I will now describe myself first of
all. I am eleven years old, weigh. sev-
enty-eight pounds, and am in the sixth
grade. I have brown eyes and yellow
bobbed hair. I never had long hair.

Our nearest neighbors are the Coles.
Have you ever heard of Harold Coles?
He is our nearest neighbor’s child. He
is the Harold that wrote about bobbed
hair and knickers.

Well, I will close for this time—-
Your friend, Dorothy Salsbury, Mont-
gomery, Mich., R. F. D.“1. ,

Yes, I believe I have heard about
that Harold Coles you refer to. I just
wonder if he has tried to pull your
hair to make it longer. * '

 

Dear Uncle Frank: ,

.I received my Merry Circle button

With great thanks. Now, both my sis-
ter and I have one, so we both can
wear them with the pride of a “Merry
Circler.”. .
. Say, Uncle Frank, I have been think-
ing of something for quite a while.
ThlS is it. The author of Al Acres’
name is Frank Leet. I wonder if it
was possibly you. If so, we must have
a_ rare friend. A cartoonist and a.
right, good, jolly uncle.

Well, here goes! All hail the Waste
Basket. So—long old letter. I hope
you don’t get clear to the bottom of
the basket. With merry wishes I will
say good-bye. Another niece, Ruth
Tabor, M. C., Belleville, Mich.

No, Mr. Leet and I are two different
Franks. I could‘never hope to be a
cartoonist as about all I can draw is
my breath. It makes me glad that
you take pride in being a Merry
Circler. -

 

THE MERRY CIRCLE SONG.

 

ACCORDING to the vote of the

Merry Circlers, the song by Myrtle
Feltis is the favorite for the Circle
Song. Her song was the last one of
the prize winners. ~ So it seems that I
did not list her—high enough when

THE SWINE SHOW.

The number of hogs shown was in
excess ‘of any previous year, the num-
ber driven out in the different classes
totaling 1,157. Poland-Chinas made a
wonderful showing, both in numbers
and quality. Several out—of—state ex-
hibitors brought out a number of, ex-
ceptional animals but the Michigan
breeders received a good share of the
winnings against the stiffest kind of
competition. The competition was
also very‘keen in Duroc Jerseys, Ches-
ter-Whites, O. I. C.’s, and Tamworths.

THE HORSE SHOW.

Kirby
Mich. ;

 

The draft horse show, while not
large in numbers, was, from the stand-
pomt of quality, One of the best shows
which has ever been held at the Mich-
igan State Fair, the Belgians being es-
pecially strong, excellent animals be-
ing contributed to the show by the
Owosso Sugar Company, Alicia, Mlch.;
W. E. Scripps, Orion, Mich; Michigan
Agricultural College, East Lansing,
Mich; H. E. Greer, Illinois, and F. G.
Stevens, of Breckenridge, Mich.

The grand champion mare shown by
the Agricultural College was pronounc-
ed by the Judge a model mare for any
breed and one of the outstanding ani-
mals being shown this year. The first
prize five-year-old stallion, Garibaldi,
also made grand champion, was an
outstanding individual. Both of the
grand champion animals were bred by
the Owosso Sugar Company at Alicia.
The reserve champion Belgian mare
shown by W. E.‘ Scripps was also an
outstanding individual.

The Percheron show, while not as
large in number as the Belgians, had
some very creditable entries from the
herds of F. Q. Stevens, Breckenridge;
Maryvale Farms, Ohio; Michigan Ag-

WHEAT

While the last Canadian estimate
means an adequate supply of wheat in
the next twelve months unless a cal-
amity occurs in one or more of the
southern hemisphere countries, a dis-
tinct tendency to exaggerate the size
of the exportable surplus in North
America is noticeable. Estimates that
a surplus of 550,000,000 to 650,000,000
bushels is available in North America
are totally unjustified. Wheat prices
have held within narrow limits in the
last week as pressure from Canadian
<wheat has been less expected.

CORN

The frosts early last week caught a
great deal of immature corn over the
northern part of the corn belt. The
extent of damage is uncertain but re-
ports have been rather uniformly dole-
ful, as many replanted fields needed
another two weeks of ripening weath-
er. Cash corn prices are still close to
the high point as primary receipts are
not above normal for this time of year
and are much smaller than last year
or two years ago, when farm reserves
of old corn were extremely large.

OATS

Total primary receipts of oats thus
far in the crop year have been larger
than a year ago, but they are below.
the ten-year average. In spite of sub—
stantial additions to the visible sup:
ply, it is considerably below normal.
Oats are cheap compared with other
feed grains and producers are dispos—
ed to hold back for farm use.

BEANS

Unsettled weather has .been the
dominating influence in the bean mar-
ket during the past week. .Prices fluc-
tuated rather rapidly, advancing on

' rainy days and easing with sunshine.

‘- Michigan points

. not yet available.

Choice hand-picked whites are quoted
at $6.10@6.15 per 100 pounds f. o. b.
. for immediate or
quick shipment. Old red kidneys are
cleaned up and new crop prices are
Montana and Idaho
beans are barely ready for shipment
and quotations are uncertain.

SEEDS

Red clover seed prices advanced

gharply. last Week and are now about

4 a, bushel above the low point'of the
on ‘ The lightryield, coupled with

 
  

small crops of alsike and
t the" in ”liberal .

carryover so that a high level of pric-
es for this year is assured. ‘Imports
probably will be stimulated although
such seed does not thrive in this coun-

try.
FEEDS

The feed market is easier, especial-
ly mill feeds. Offerings have increas-
ed, pr‘oduction of most feeds is ex—
panding, and buyers have not taken
hold briskly as yet. B prices are quot-
ed $2 lower in some markets. Favor-
able pastures are delaying as well as
reducing the fall demand.

POULTRY AND EGGS

I

The egg market late last week ex-
perienced its first real setback since
the fall advance started. Receipts are
running heavier than usual at this
time of year, but they are gradually
shrinking, and will probably decline
another fifty per cent in the next two
months so that prices will soon re-

~ sume their upward trend.

Chicago—Eggs, extras 39@40c; mis-
cellaneous 28@3OC; dirties 22@24c;
fresh firsts 30@33c. Live poultry, hens
19@23c; springers 22c; roosters 15c;
ducks 18@210; geese 18c.

Detroit—Eggs, fresh candied and
graded 31@32c; storage 27@3lc. Live

poultry, heavy springers 24({172703 light,

springers 21@24c; ‘heavy hens 25@
27c; light hens 17@24c; roosters 15c;
geese 15@16c; ducks 21@24c.

BUTTER

The advance in butter prices was,

checked last week. Distributors did
less buying for future requirements
and a great deal of storage butter
which now shows a handsome profit
was pushed on the market. Production
reports show that the make is running
five to eight per cent larger than at
the corresponding time last year but
it is decreasing from week to week in
accordance with seasonal tendency.
Actual consumption is holding up well
in spite of the advance in prices. Im~
ports are unimportant.
Prices on 92-score fresh creamery
were as follows: Chicago 45%0; New
_- York 46%0. In Detroit fresh creamery
in tubs sells for 43%@451/20.

POTATOES

Shipments of potatoes from produc—
ing sections have practically doubled
in the last two weeks. Prices weak-
ened as the larger Supply reached the
wholesale markets. The big fall move—
ment generally reaches its geak from
the second to the fourth, w ek in Oc-

tober. Northern round whites are,
quoted at. $1.25@1.40 per 100 pounds
in the Chicago carlot market and $1.25
@150 f. o. b. shipping points. ,

APPLES

Apple prices have been practically
steady, with Michigan Wealthies at
$4.50@5 per barrel, or $1.25@1.50 per
bushel at Chicago.-——Carlot shipments
from producing sections are above
normal for this time of year. The peak
of the carlot ' movement is usually
reached from the secondto the fourth
week in October.

' WOOL

Wool buying has been in larger vol- ,

ume in the last ten days than for a
number of weeks. Mill holdings. are

gradually being worked off and the '

goods market is more healthy. Imports
are much below the monthly average
requirements of foreign wools. For-

eign markets are firm. The London '

auction continues on a steady basis
and the first sale of new clip Austral-

ian wools opened unchanged on mer:

ions and five to ten per cent higher.
