NUMBER FIFTEEN DETROIT, OCTOBER 13, 1923 CURRENT COMMENT MERICAN farm- A Real ‘- ers are now bet- ter supplied with up- Market to—thc—minute market Service news than are the farmers of any other country. This: has become possible largely through the use of the radio. Four high-powered stations have been established by the government for this purpose. These are locatedat Arling- ton, Chicago, San Francisco and New Orleans. , If the farmers take advantage of this service it with become impOssible for the buyer of five stock or of farm Crops to race through the country as he once did, and pick up at unwarrant- ed low prices a few earloads of hogs or steers, or a dozen orchards of ap- ples by reason of his having‘advance knowledge of'market trend. By reason of this government service both the seller and the buyer can now be equal- ly informed on market conditions. Thus modern science is wiping away ignorance, one of the big obstacles in the road of better marketing of farm products. That‘ the farmersof the country have speedily taken to the radio is shown by the fact that, according to a recent survey by the department of. agriculture, there are now about 145,- 000 receiving sets on the farms of the United States. In Michigan, accord- ing to the same authority, the number approximates 2,000 sets. NE renowned the- orist has said that C:::e the human being is a. . conglomeration of all Trai I the other animals and birds. It is true that moods emoot versatile of all Irving . beings, and perhaps his versatility may be due to hiring all these traits. Otherwise, he would not. :1. times try to sing like a; bird, he as obstinate as a jack-ass, and 'act like a goose. Now, one of the common traits of the goose is toIIfollow the leader in whatever he might 60, whether it be foolish, dangerous or sane. This leads er is usually a gander, but just how this gander gains his leadership is not Within our limited knowledge. It may be because of his land and m making ability, or he may haVe to _ Ibo-II other more worthy qualities to , was: his position. With no trousered and skirted bl» , peas this goose-like quality of follow- . ' mg “the reader is outétanding. A great many of flock to the leader because I5Iof2hi's lou iffiuacking ability, others are I’II to sane and ‘con .I ‘ g . This goose quality s a good one, for ._. leaders must be. followed to bring unity of purpose in big undertakings; But the selection of the leader is the vital thing. In this state, there is at present a lot of loud quacking, political and otherwise. As noise is always attrac- tive to our emotions; let us use judg- ment to ascertain whether the loudest quacking has good purpose behind it, or is quack all the way through. We can feel reasonably safe if we will use good human sense instead of emotion in following our goose traits. » ‘UR potato market The 7 is quite distinctly . .American. The im- Potato portations and expor- Oiltlook tations of potatoes are so small as to have no marketing influence. We, therefore, can look almost entirely to our own country for the factors which have to do with establishing the char- acter of this trade.I About the commercial end of the potato business, experts have learned that when the estimated yield of any season is at the rate of four bushels per capita, falling prices are quite cer- tain to characterize the trade. On the other hand, when the per capita pro- duction is around the three bushel mark, the trend of prices, after the heavy marketing during harvest time is over, is upward. The present estimated yield is” on a per capita basis of three and one-half bushels per capita. Last year it was a fraction over four bushels, and for the past twenty years the average was three and six-tenths bushels. It would appear, therefore, that the statistical position of the trade is favorable to the grower. This, coupled with the fact that' employment~ is general throughout the country at fairly high wages, would augur for a market which for respectability should out- shine, by many candles, that of 1922: § 0 those who have Agriculture been in a position to analyze most ac— Shows Im' curately the trend of provement of b u s i n e s 8 con- ditions, including ag- riculture, there is a general feeling of improvement so far as the latter in- dustry is concerned. Expressed in terms of other com- modities, the general index of pur- chasing ‘power 0f farm products moved up one point during the month of Sep- tember. This index number is‘now at seventy-three, which is the highest point it has attained since June ‘of 1922. The advance for September was brought about not by a rise in farm prices, but through the downward turn of industrial values. , May we hope that this readjustment will continue until energy applied up- on the farm will be rewarded by the same purchasingpower as it will re- ceive in other lines of effort. N some sections of , ,; A the country farm gm _ memorybooks are be» . my coming popular; The 3? ‘ Bank are an offspring of the old photo album. These albums kept faithful records of the members of the family and friends for years. ’The scope, however, was limited. The farm memory book pertains not only to the family, but includes in ad- of general interestiupon the rm or to the farm folks, together with approps riate legends. There is usually some member of the family who has or can develop some aptitude for the taking of pictures. I The work itself is not only interest- ing, but the books we fully enjOyed t - .r -term home ec- Home E » ~. .paratively new one. It ”nor?!“ has to do with the Practical > use of economy in the home. In our general conception of the term, economy in the home is as old as the hills. Some- times it has been practiced with a strictness and necessity that is often painful. This old— time economy in- volves the doing without—it means carrying wateyfrom outdoors, the bat- tening of eveiy source of ventilation to save fuel, thecating of cheap and unwholesome food to keep the grocery bill down. Such is not economy, but an abet- tion of it, for it does not save. In fact, it is an extravagance, because what it conserves in. material things it takes out in human lives. One of the great- est extravagances is that so-called economy which makes the human be- ing less eflicient and happy. It means less ability to do the things which will bring greater ealning power, and be- sides, most generally brings an even greater expenditure of the meagel financial resources because of the doc- tor bills w‘hich come as a consequence. Household economics, on the other hand, means the doing of more work with less effort, better eating often with less cost, and a. happier and heal- their home. Household economics should be of interest to the men folks for in the home the man is kept fit or made unfit for his daily tasks The home is the maintenance and repair department of a. man’s ability. 111 health and its attending unhappi- ness which result from haphaza1d economy, are the gleatest of human extravagances. True household eco- nomics will conserve both health and finances, and will bring the result in happiness. '1 "HE political party The is a necessary , . . piece of governmental £01.“!ch machinery.

Foot-Baal THE Way these collig-e folks get their educashun fed to them is so easy they hadda. do something, so they I started this foot- haul business » You see, collige folks den’t get no experiunce and hard knocks so they play this game to get some. Some of them stewdents spend more time got- ti-n’ the hard knocks than studyin’ and they come out all rightif they don't suffer no conSequences, like gettin’ killed. Which shows hard knocks and experiunce is great teachers. , Now, we‘folks what has gladnated from the Collige of Hard Knocks used .to get em foot- bauldiffel unt. F01 inst, if we didn’t do the right thing we’d get some- body’s foot in close ’cause'We wouldnt have nothin’ to protect our whereabouts, like these collige fellers do. We didn’t wear no paddin’s for our paddlein’ s. I see, too, these collige fellers also protect their brains, which is another valuable part of then body. I. guess they do that ’cause they think maybe they kin use those brain-s sometime in the future. If kin tell them they will, specially if they git married with'fam- ily responsibilities. To raise some kids according to modern regulashuns takes brains, or somethiniv like it. Seems likeone-half a foot-haul game is played by eighteen men actin’ rough over nothin’ but a ball,- and the other half is done by the rah-rah folks look:- in’ on. Foot- haul is a. great game for the rah— rah folks ’cause it gives them a excuse to get out and make some noise, likewise get some fresh air. They kin jump around and fool about their led noses and have lots a fun sayin’ rah iah just as loud as they want to anytime. Some of these folks wouldn’t never know what goose pimples was if it wasn ’t for foot-haul. Anyhow, this is lots nicer way to get red noses than some ways I know about. Maybe goin’ to foot-haul games is one of the best kinds of trainin’ cityI folks kin have fer gettin’ ready for a.

One may have the ‘ finest prospects right up till the crap ' ,is' hanyested and then several days of rainy, cloudy weather may come and. ' reduce the value of the crop from a good profit—maker to where the returns . may not. cover the cost of production. While such piratical weather occa- sionally spreads itself over the entire . state and thus affects the whole Mich- ‘ igan crop, the more usual effect is to damage the crop in this or that 10- . cality, or merely the late or the early , sown fields. Such is the case this year. There "are- sections where the beans are in excellent shape. Monday, on the farm . of John Shay, Saginaw county, we saw béans being taken directly from the . bean thresher to the elevator, where they were picking only three per cent. . Other fields visited in the bean section of the .state rangedfrom this to as high as twenty per cent and more. When beans pick over‘ several per cent the producer, in disposing of the product under the pr‘esent system, suf- fers a considerable cut in his income. For every pound of cull beans and dirt taken out of the beans the elevator . charges eight cents. Thus, at the pres- ent time, with beans generally quoted around $5.00, a farmer in sellingtwen- ty—pound pickers would realize but. 83.40 for each hundred pounds of beans delivered, instead of the $5.00. The charge made for removing the inferior beans by hand is generally considered within reason. But the bulk of poor beans and dirt in the heavy pickers is taken out, not by hand, but. by mechanical pickers. As.compared to hand-picking the cost per hundred- weight pickers is much less. However, the elevators charge the farmer the same ' price per pound for machine work as for hand work. , This has had a tendency to force farmers into the growing practice of sorting beans at home. Bean growers lacking other work to keep them busy Secretary of operating the mechanical ‘ T fit: Story Tel/r How Some Programme Mienigan Bean Gro wen are Solving Iée Bean PIC/élflg Question during the cold months, spend the time at this task. This has proven satis- factory where the quantity to be hand- led is relatively small. But where hunj dreds of bushels must be gotten in shape for the consumer the task is so large that Comparatively few of the larger growers will undertake the- job. They would rather accept the lower price which the elevators offer for the ungraded stock. Recently,’ hov’vever, an inexpensive 'portable machine has been introduced which promises to improve the situa» tion from the farmer’s viewpoint. This machine can be operated upon the farm. Badly damaged beans. run through at the rate of five to ten bush- els per hour are reduced to a. pickage of five, and even three per cent. Several of these machines weie test- ed out here in Michigan last year. In one or two sections farmers have giv- en them a thorough trial. To fully acquaint ourselves with the situation we called upon several of the men a. few days ago to get their reaction. *We are here giving as faithfully as we can the result of our investigations. The farmers visited live in the YiCill'. ity of Merrill, in western Saginaw county. Edward Miller, the first called upon, was cutting corn with a binder which had been giving some trouble. But despite this he seemed much pleased for the opportunity of telling . his fellow farmers of the good results which he had gotten from his me- chanical picker last year. “The. machine certainly helped us out of a .bad mess,” he replied to our question. “The weather caught us . here just right and the damage to the beans was large. Some fields picked as high as fifty and sixty per cent. But this new picker saved us from what otherwise would have been a. heavy loss. “I have in mind now one farmer,”- he continued, “Who brought fifty bush- els here with thirty-six pounds of culls in every bushel. We run the beans .mwsu» . if the Michigan Bean Industry is to Continue to Hold its Enviable Position in the Markets of the Country, it will be Necessary for All Who Have a Part in the Preparation of the Stock for Market to do their Utmost to Make that Stock of the Highest Quality. through the machine once and reduc- ed the pick to ten pounds. It required six hours to do the work and our charges to the man were nine dollars. In addition to the good beans which commanded a higher value as they left the picker, he returned home with nearly a ton of cull beans which were more valuable to him for feed than were our charges for picking. “The comparatively small cost, the retention of the cull beans which here- tofore had always gone to the elevat- or, the better price offered for his good beans all worked together to make this man happy,” continued Mr. Miller. He then explained that the machine required only a small amount of power to operate. He was using atwo-horse- power gasoline engine, but said that one of one and a half horse would do. Another farmer brought a-hundred bushels from which we took out three ”thousand pounds of culls. The elevator had offered him but one dollar per hundred for these beans. After clean- ing and grading he realized at the rate of thlee dollars per hundred, and be- sides had a ton and a half of culls for feed Still another farmer drove twenty- four miles with 170 bushels of beans to have them cleaned. These were thirty—pound pickers and the charges for taking out over three thousand pounds of culls and dirt was $35. For this his elevator would have charged ove1 $200. ' M1. Miller reported on one job Where the beans were sorted directly from the thresher. These beans were reduced from twenty-seven-pound pick— ers down to two—pound-pickers. “Where the beans have just been threshed or are warm, the picker performs beyond expectations,” was the explanation. He continued, “The tendency of the farmer is to want to clean his beans during colder weather. However, the pickers will not work well when both the beans and rollers becomefrozen. For this reason it was found advisable to house the machine in a warm place (Continued on page 360). ‘ 'a’l’lacc Answers Critics Msnderstnndings and Crz'tz'emnr Regarding tne En forcenzent of Me Packers and Stout- ' -- yards Act are Met 53/ we Secretary of Agriculture in Me Fol/0 wing Ale/dress.- E have been charged with not enforcing the provisions of the Act against the commission men at St. Paul. It is claimed that instead of punishing the guilty men we-have allowed the Live ‘StIock Ex- change to punish them; that we have thrown a cloud of secrecy over the in- vestigation; that we have not taken .steps to enable farmers who have been defrauded to collect the money 'which belongs to them: Our critics say that we should not have allowed any other agency to act against these commission ”concerns but should have proceeded against these people under our , own authority. ' These criticisms grow. out of ignor- . ance of the law and how it must be . administered, or, if not that, they indi- cate a malicious intent to discredit the . ,;Act or to secure delay and protect those who may be found guilty un- state supervision for some years. Be fore they had been at work veiy long, they found that some commission firms were guilty of irregular prac- tices. In a few cases commissiOn agencies were tb‘und taking advantage of-the shipper for their o‘Wn benefit. Most of the cases, homver, consisted of an apparently corrupt arrangement with commission firm, or some mem- ber of it, by which managers of lecal farmers’ shipping associations got a rake-off on some shipments. Whether this rake-off was in the nature of a rebate received by the association or was side graft by the manager of the farmers’ association has not been fully disclosed, and can not be until the books of '-the local farmers’ coopera- tive associations are audited. ‘We have no authority over these local shipping Imanagers, but this’ work in the coun- try will be done by the State Commis: ' sioner of}: AgriCulture. These offenses were not confined to“ )anygrodp or class of agencies in the 'on the market. - cies: the department. of agriculture, the stockyards company, and the live stock exchange in case the offenders are members of the ex'change. There seems to be a misunderstand— ing as to the punishment for wrong- doing which the department of agri- culture can inflict. 1n the first place, I have no authority to refuse to regis— ter commission firms doing business to put out of the market commission firms which may be found guilty of wrong-doing. When I find people ap- parently guilty of wrong-doing i can cite them to a hearing. If their guilt is established, either by confession or as a result of the hearing, I may order them to cease and desist frOm the wrong—doing, but I can not fine them for what “they have done. After the order to cease and desist! has been issued they ._then become subject to a "heavy fine for each repetition of the offense. The stockyards companies can exer- .Mfcls'e seme’ power over Wrong-deer}; by, ' virtue of their ownership of the yards y? and can but agencies from the Yards, .; ' in case? of flagrant wrong-doing ' l have no authority' The live stock exchange can dis- cipline its members, either by fines or by suspension or expulsion from mem- bership, because the members of live ~ stock exchanges have agreed to abide by the rules and regulations of the exchanges, thus rendering themselves subject to exchange discipline. The rules and regulations of the live, stock exchange at St. Paul were filed with .us, as required by law, and these rules include the right of the exchange, to punish its members for improper conduct. The rules of the stockyards company also were filed with the de- partment, and these rules carry au- thority to deal with misconduct in the yard. Under the Packers and Stock- yards Act both the exchange and the stockyards are required to enforce the rules and regulations which they have» ~ adopted. , When we sent out auditors to St. Paul the board of directors of the Live Stock Exchange said tone that if any “ . of their members were guilty of wronggz :doing they wanted to know REY-that 'i they would promptly deal with them; (Continued on me 380). :4 $5 I I'HoovER" AOVOCATES INCREASED DAIRY PRODUCTION. ’_ HERE was much significance in the-.‘w'crds "of Secretary of Com- merce Hoover in his address at the op- ening session of the World’s 'Dai'ry Congress :1 “There is the possibility of increasing Consumption of dairy prod- ucts an element of solution to many of our present agricultural problems. The World agricutture has come out . of the War thoroughly unbalanced. We ‘ are. over-producing. bread grains be- yond any possibility of consumption. To induce an increase in consumption- of dairy products is not only a health question, but it will also lend a sub- stantial hand to agriculture in the, conversion from bread grains to feed, and in this fundamental increase in living standards an actual gain can be made of the total agricultural produce consumed. ” Accepting this statement of Mr. Hoover as fact, it is apaprent that there is still room for further devel- opment of 'the dairy industry as one means of utilizing some of the lands that for th'epast five or six years have been producing bread grains. coon THOUGHTS FROM SECRE- TARY HUGHES. HAT “diplomacy is the art of the distribution of the milk of human kindness” was a characteristic utter- ance by Secretary of State Hughes in welcoming the foreign delegates to the \Vorld’s Dairy Congress to this coun- try. Referring to peace as not a final goal, but an opportunity, the secretary of state said: “You in this gathering represent one-of those ultimate co- operative endeavors which go to the very fundamentals of human need. Peace conferences are valuable be- cause they open the way for this sort of intelligent working together.” “\Vhat a vast amount of time," con- cluded'the secretary, “do we give to the establishment and maintenance of the machinery of government, to the necessary activities of politics, in or der that we may have at the end a small margin of time and a little op- portunity here and thereto do some- thing actually worth while in bettering the conditions "of life.” FARM REPRESENTATIVES MEET PRESIDENT. Y request of President Coolidge, the executive committee of the Na- tional Grange and the American Farm 'Bureau Federation visited the \Vhite House and made known to the Presi- dent their views of the farming sit- nation. in a statement issued after their conference with the President, the ex- ecutive committee of the National Grange said: “From‘ bur contact with conditions "among farmers in all parts of the Unit: ed States we believe we were able to add to the President’s stockof infor- mation. We found him frankly seek- ing the exact facts, and both cordial and eager in his efforts to learn the facts and render assistance if possible. The Grange leaders say they came away from the White House with the impression that there will be no call for a special session of congress. The grange is on record in Opposition to an extra session, DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PRICE , 'FIXING. ‘ 'GRAY SILVER, Washington repre- a ‘. sentative of the American Farm ,;~Bureau Federation, called upon the igfent bysinvitation‘ and discussed 1 ver holds the opinion that a Special session of congress is not necessary at this time to help the farmer. _alSo holds that an effort by the gov- ernment to fix the price of wheat or other commodities Would not be fair to the farmer, who has in the last three 7years taken on an additional burden of $3,000,000.000 in the shape of debts. To give the farmer merely .a price which would enable him to make ends meet today, without aiding him to pay off this debt, would not help him very much. , The most that the government will do to assist the wheat growers, at least until‘ congress meets, aCcording to those close to the administration, is to aid and fostel the development ' of cooperative grain marketing organ- ‘ izations. MILK WAR AVERTED. HE impending M’ashington milk war was averted onthe eve of open hostilities by the large distrib- utors signing an agreement with the milk producers in which they recog- nized the producers’ association as a collective. marketing agency. The distributors will continue to control and operate their own receiv- ing stations at which milk will be de— livered by individual farms as mem- bers of the cooperative association. The pooling contract remains in effect, and the. price of milk was not chang- ed, being twenty-nine centsa gallon for milk containing 3.5 per cent of butter-fat content, with premiums for milk containing a higher percentage of fat, and ploduced on high-scoring dairy farms. EDUCATIONAL WEEK. HE week of November 18-24 has been designated by President Coolidge as American Education, Week. Plans have been'arranged for a nation-wide observation. sitution, citizenship, patriotism and physical education will be stressed on the situation at some length. Mr. 811- . He . The con- . special "days; The eradication of' ii- literacy will be given an important ’place on the program.; ‘In his call for Education Week, the President says: “Our country adopted the principle of self-government by a free people. Those who were worthy 'Of being free,“ . were worthy of being educated. Those who have the duty and‘ responsibility of government, must necessarily have the education with which to discharge the obligations of citizenship. The sovereign had to be'educated. * * * ’Every American citizen is entitled to this, a liberal~ education. Without there is no guarantee for the perma- nence of free institutions, no hope of ’ perpetuating self-government. Despot- ism finds its chief support in ignor- ance. Knowledge and freedom go hand in hand. ” . LOCAL PRODUCTION AND LOCAL NEEos HE Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics, in cooperation with the state extension Workers, state colleges and local farm bureaus, is, making ‘a survey of some of the medium size cities and the farming districts :sur- rounding them, tO' see if local produc- tion 'cannot‘ be carried on more effi? ciently. for the betterment of the pro- ducer, dealer and consumer. 'The Altoona, Pa., survey has recent- ly been completed. dairying, poultry raising and potato growing are the most profitable linest : _ . ' marked increase in weight of pack- of farming in the agricultural district surrounding the city. The government workers by this i11- vestigation tried to determine to what extent local farmers are meeting the consumptive demands of their local city market; to develop home produc- tion to a maximum of those things that can be mostprofitably produced in that locality; to get a basis for find- ing what farmers can produce for 10- cal consumption and what they can grow to ship away to the best advan-‘ tage. When the analySis is completed it is planned to inform producers of the r ll/lll/IIIIIII Not So Bad 0/7 as He ’3; Painted IT MAY BE REAL ART BUT IT 005er r LOOK It was found that‘ - by the post office department.

It is believed that adapting farm production to the-demands of the near by cities, at least in such states as Pennsylvania and Ohio, would tend to greater economy‘in marketing; in reducing the spread between the farm price and the retail dealer’s price, and aiding to a considerable extent in solv- ing the Question of high transporta- tion costs.

AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN EASTERN SECTION. HE dairy industry has found its higher milk prices ,ofl’set by high- er production costs, said A. B. Genung, economist in the department of agri- culture, on his return from an investi- gation of agricultural conditions in the eastern dairy sections. Many farmers began feeding expensive grains and green feed as far back as early in . August. The pastures. over wide areas weie dried up. The~ flow of milk shrank and cows are going into winter in poor flesh. .. 11 iv ‘3 ‘ Well informed men told Mr. Genung that such shortening of the milk sup- ply as has occurred is aresult of sea- sonal conditions rather than decrease in number of dairy cattle- .It is' sug- . gested that this factpifait is a fact, will have some bearingon the dairy situation three or four months hence, and even more a year hence. ., Milk producers can hardly hope for better milk demand ‘ thanl they, now ‘ enjoy.

IFE is a constantly moving, flashing panorama of color. And much of the beauty of this colorful world you owe to lead. Lead in dyeing Lead is important in keeping. colors alive and bright‘ in dyed fabrics. Lead acetate (o:- sometimes lead nitrate) is used as a mordant. That' IS, it combines with the dye, turning what was a soluble mate- rial into one that is insoluble. Thus, the dye-maker first impregnates the fabric with the lead compound by dipping it in the lead, acetate solution. Then, when. he dips it into the dye, the color combines with , the lead compound to form a color z‘compound that will not, wash out. The housewife. who dyes her clothes or rugs often uses “lead acetate in the sa'me'way to fix the color. But when she. buys it‘at‘the store, she asks for Sugar of' Lead. Lead nitrate is used also in'print- ing on calico and other similar materials. Lead helps to colorppapers as well as fabrics. It is in some of the colors ~ with which the ground- -up pulp is dyed before it is pressed out into paper In the artist ’3 studio Lead gets on the antiSt’s canvas . twice.

Another kind of paint Another of lead’s important con- tributions to daily life is as ordi- nary house paint. Manufacturers use white-lead as 'the“'basic ingre- dient in their paints because it makes a paint that gives the best protection to the covered surface. “Save the surface and you save all,” is being accepted as a national maxim. And many owners are sav- ing the surfaces of their houses by painting them with white- lead paint. Look—for the Dutch Bay National Lead Company makes white- lead and sells it, mixed with pure linseed oil, under the name p and trade-mark of D u t c h B o y White-Lead. The figure of the Dutch Boy is reproduced on. every keg and is a guarantee of exceptional purity. Dutch Boy products also include red- lead, linseed oil, flatting oil, babbitt metals, and solder. Among other products manufac- tured by National Lead Company are battery lithpgrge, battery red- lead, die castings, cinch exvansion bolts, sheet lead, and Hoyt Hard- lead gutters, pipes, flashings, and other fittings for buildings.

Please tell me how long a ton of clo- ver hay will last one cow if you fesed her all she wants twice a day. how much milk should a fair cow have _ to give to pay fm her ‘k1‘;3ep —~A. J .11. This question can only be answered approximately, because cows differ so in individuality, but a general idea can ~be given with the understanding that individuals differ somewhat both with regald to quantity of food consumed and amount 'of milk produced. The feeding standard is 2.5 pounds of digestible crude protein, ten pounds of carbohydrates, .50 pounds of fat per day 1,000. pounds of lite weight f01 a cow giving twenty-two pounds of milk per day. If the cow weighs more or 1‘ 1 less than 1,000 pounds, then the ration Imust be increased 01' diminished in proportion. . Clover haycontains 7.1‘pe1‘I cent of -protein, hence it would take thirty-five pounds 0f clover- hay to_ supply this ‘ feed nutrient. Clover hay contains 37. 8 per cent of carbohydrates and to sup-. I-ply the ten: pounds would take only 111 twenty-six pounds It contains protein. If clover hay is worth $10'per ton, or one-half cent per pound, then sev- enteen cents would feed a cow 9. day. If the cow gave twenty-two pounds of four per cent milk, or .88. pounds of butter-fat, worth now about forty cents per pound, it would be an income of thirty-five cents per day. It can be seen that there is a little ’waste in feeding clover alone in order to get the necessary amount of pro- tein. The ration is also too bulky for best results, and it would be better to feed a little less of the clover and a small grain ration of corn, oats and wheat bran. IA MOTH ER’S PROPERTY.

If this leakage occuls beneath the level of the ground it would be difficult to stop-the leakage from the inside of the silo. About the only way to do this is to clean the surface of the silo, plaster it with cement and water, with a little lime added, and then paint over this surface with one or more coats of asphaltum paint.

If the1e was no pressure from the water outside it is very likely that not enough would go through the walls to cause Serious trouble. If this leakage occuis above the ground it could be remedied satisfac- torily, I think, by coating the outer surface of the silo with two or three coats of a cement wash made of ce- ment and water 'mixed to the consist- ency of cream.—-H..H.

Before that was entirely paid for I got a rug, then a sewing ma- chine, then a chair and then some lace curtains, and another rug. These things were purchased over a period of six years.

Our five children have come rather close and the baby is four months old and for the past year we haVe not been able to make a pay- ment The last thing we bought was a rug, $58, which all went to pieces.

'ATCH the sunflower heads as the _ seed ,zhardens andfeed them to hens before the seed is taken by wild birds. Sunflower seeds contain a lot of fibre and are not as! valuable as corn for poultry feed. The sunflower seed are diflicult to store and the seed must be very dry or it will mould. Usually it pays best to feed up the sunflower heads in the fall when the chickens can thresh outthe seed. The oil seed'seems of particular value~in . giving a gloss to the plumage of grow- ing pullets. It is also good for the old hens at moulting time. When red mites are sapping the blood from the pullets the birds have , the least resistance to fall colds. Pul- lets lacking in vigor cannot lay many eggs. Usually they do not lay at all. I think the one most important factor in poultrymanagement is destroying red mites. They do more damage-than lice. "Andlthese mites are so small that-the danger is not always appre- ciated. If they had to be handled with 'a shot gun instead of a spray gun they would soon be exterminated.—K. PROBABLY TUBERCU LOSIS. Our hens have been dying lately. All are only about sixteen months old. Have the run of a farm, as most faim- ers’ hens have. They look well until a few days before death. Sometimes their bowels are loose. 0n opening them we find their liver very large and covered with white spots. What do you think the trouble is ‘!—-C. V. R. The spots'on the liver, when accom- panied by rapid emaci’ation and death of the birds. is apt to be an indication of tuberculosis in the flock. If you have a' large and valuable flock it will pay to have a veterinarian inspect the birds and make recommendations. There is no cure for tuberculosis and it might be necessary'to clean up the flock by destroying and burning the sick birds. Then the house can be ' thoroughly sprayed and allowed to 4 remain empty until the disinfectant . and sunshine have cleaned it up. When tuberculosis is suspected it is. always best to raise the young stock on clean soil on a separate range from the old birds, and not place the young , stock in the same house until it has . had several months to becometfree from the disease. Plowing the ground , adjacent to the poultry house and planting it to some crop is a help in cleaning up the disease.

HERE’S no secret about making a hen lay. Thousands of people know how, and are doing it every day in the year, making big profits from their investment. in poultry. Hens are something like babies. You remember the time whenbabies ' were fed boiled milk and nothing else. Some of them were husky enough to come through, but most of them got sick. It didn’t make any dif- ference how. much milk they took. And the milk was good food. But something was lacking in their diet. Orange or tomato juice was found to be the thing that they needed. Either one gave the child new life and vigor. Your fault if hens den’ t lay Orange juice is not what hens need to make them lay. But hens .do need something that has the same magical effect as orange juice has on babies’ health.‘Your flock can “eat its head off” and still not give you enough eggs to pay for its board. It’s not the hens’ fault,-but yours: Every hen has more undeveloped eggs in her body than she could lay at the rate of an egg a day for five years. It matters not whether she wants to lay. She has no choice! Nature is her boss. The whole prob- lem Is to help her to develop and lay as many _of these as possible. * To getthe thousand eggs Don’t be afraid of over-feeding a well balanced ration Your birds will not get too fat to lay. They will get fat if they don’t lay. And the big . problem is to induce the layers to eat as much food as they can digest, in order that they may lay heavily and steadily. Finding egg-making food isn’t so, hard. Most everyone now knows that hens need plenty of mash, grains, green stuff, meat scraps, oyster shell, bone, grit, buttermilk and all the water they can drink'. But to keep your flock healthy, vigorous and pro- ductive, you have to be sure that each hen is physically able to digest and use all she eats. To get all of the' thousand eggs she has stored up, you have to cut down the molting time, sharpen the appetite, improve the digestion and circulation, and put the afls hens? in condi- tion to resist the common ailments. . So here 15 where we get back to the orange juice and baby thought. Every layer needs a health—builder and health-preserver added to itsdiet. Something that can be added to the , regular ration of the hens just as orange juice is added to the diet of the bottle-fed baby.

It establishes your credit in the community as well as with your bank- er. It gives security in the way of its returned checks which are the best of receipts, consequently settles any dis- putes or complications which may de- velop through careless dealing in which receipts are neglected. It keeps your money in a safe place where fire or thieves do not trouble. It assists in the book-keeping accounts which every good farmer must keep. Large deposits are not necessary, but when sales are made put the money in the bank instead of in your pocket. It also serves as a restraint to use? less 01' unwiseVexpenditure as it gives you opportunity to say to yourself, “Do I need this?"

PROVIDES THE BEST RECEIPTS. Y experience is that a man can . transact business much more eas- ily with a checking account, than with- out one. When doing business by mail, it takes only a minute to write a check, but fooling around with moneyorders is bothersome‘and takes time. Also, when paying for things, I am not in- convenienced by'not'having the right change. Sometimes people try to collect a bill which has already been paid, and the receipt is either lost or was not given. Then the returned check is all the receipt needed. This one thing 'alone has saved me many dollars. Paying by check‘and faithfully keep— ing record. on the stubs, enables the farmer who does not keep books, to keep a‘ fairly accurate tab on his ex- penditures. ' Many people do not care to keep a large sum of money in the house," until ready to use it. 'is the easiest solution. Lastly, I find a banker is more will- ing to advance needed capital to those Who have been using his bank. He considers a bank account, kept from year to year, a business asset—L. Gore. ' . « HELPS ‘TO ECONOMIZE. HE main reason why I keep a « checking account in our local bank V?» _.is that it provides a safe, and yet eas- ‘y accessible place for my money. It ate from both fire and theft as well It is accessible O decidental loss. Why a Bank Account? 1 replies will be sent a high-grade Here again the bank ' .zx'liko- manner.“ Another very important reason I have for/a checking account is that a check, when cancelled, or paid, makes a mighty fine receipt, and Shows that I actually have paid So and So a stat--- ed sum. I never have to pay a bill twice when I pay by' check. Before doing this way I~have had to pay the same bill twice, and I got tired of it. Another very good reason is that it means economy. How often if one has the actual dash in their pocket, will they buy something that they would not buy if the cash were safe in a bank! And then I believe it gives any man a feeling of self-assurance to know that he has a checking account. It enables a man to sleep soundly. —D. D. Tibbits. SAVED PAYING BILL TWICE.

YOUNG CHERRY ORCHARD PAYS - OUT. T the Graham Experiment Station, near Grand Rapids, there is an in- teresting experiment in methods of handling a young cher1y orchard. In this experiment, there is one plot of three-year-old trees which is growing in alfalfa sod which has been supple“ mented by an application of one pound of acid phosphate and one-half pound of nitrate of soda. Aucther plot re- ceived clean cultivation and no fertil- izer as its soil treatment. , The trees in the clean cultivated crop are much larger than those in the alfalfa plot, but the results this year indicated that a tree cannot make a big growth and bear fruit at the same time. Those in the alfalfa plot bore almost a half case per tree of fine’ Montmorencies, while the trees in ‘the cultivated plot produced about half as niuch. The lesson gained from this is that the alfalfa 'method is an economical one to bring a cherry orchard into bearing. The alfalfa itself will pay for the cost of caring for the orchard after the first year, then with the or- chard’s early productiveness it should pay a profit from the time it is three years old. Thus far it has been proven that an alfalfa sod is not detrimental to cherry trees, provided it is supple- mented with the proper fertilizers. BUYING NURSERY. STOCK. THIS is the time of year to plan for buying trees for resetting the or- chard or planting a new one. Whether to plant in the fall or spring -is the" question with many. A matter that depends .much upon the locality. Trees planted in the fall ’become better es- ‘ tablished, and will, therefore, make better growth the following spring in mild climates. But in the north 'where severe winters sometimes kill, even old trees, it is different. ' ' Transplanting destroys the small feeding roots, which are necessary to replenish'the moisture carried off by cold, drying winds. V Hence, the rea- son why the forced nursery: stock of- ten fails to survive the winter. In cold and exposed sections of the north; the best time tobuy stock is in the fall, and heel it induring the win- ter. To do this separate. the trees in bunches and set them close together in a furrow, thCh should be plowed wide and deep, and in a place par- tially protected by the weather, and Cover the trees with earth until only one third of the top remains above ground. The trees are thus protected from the low temperature and kept in a more uniformly moist condition than is gens ~ ' orally to- be had inv‘the nursery storage house. Heeling in ca 3 that Trees skipped by roll in the em, unless in. cat-low loss are apt. to be" delayed on the way and: no pl m, ‘mwéu moturodondnotdng Modem; warm places, consqumptl'y many mulch ' their .dest’indtion ini- very poor candle tion for planting. ' By far the best and. safest. way to Vget young trees, when not located too ‘far from anursery, is to drive with a, car direct to the. nursery where the trees are grown, select your own stock, see the tree dug and take them horn-e with you, and then set them out at the earliest? possible. time. better, as a, rule, to buy acclimated stock, than that which is grown and, shipped in from a distance, allowing that 111's. nurserymamselects his buds ‘and sciods frdm healthy trees nearby. ‘Most of therdiseases of insect pests have been Spread .by- means of nursery stock, for all that the government has done to avoid it. A general rule for selecting nursery stock is to find clean trees with °good average grodth for the age of the tree and a root. system to match. —-V. M C.

HE diseases ‘of poultry are un-' doubtedly the greatest\ problems which poultry raisers have. They cut profits and often unfit the birds for further profitable production, even af- ter they recover. ' In the control of these diseases there has been improvement in.keep- ing with the improvement of the con- trol of human diseases. The tendency is toward prevention 1ather than cure, and much of this prevention is done by vaccination or inoculation. In the control of roup, chicken pox and other allied diseases, cultures of the dead germs of these diseases have been made and inoculated with great These cultures do not have the bad after- effects that cultures of live germs do, and keep the fowls free from trouble. Much has been ‘done along this line by Dr. E. C. Khuen, who has developed this method of poultry disease control.

A barn for.‘fourteen cows, with two , ‘ box stalls, should be at least thirty .feet wide and forty feet long, should have an eight—foot ceiling in the cow stalls and two to' four feet to the eaves in the hay loft, it depending up- on whether a gable roof was used or a gambrel roof. The hay should be taken in through a door in the gable end, of the barn. Two rows of cows with .the center feed alley would be the most economical arrangement. The eight-foot poles, which are men- tioned, could be placed on end and used for basement Wall, or they might be flattened on one side and used for stable floor.

They mark the time of the Fifth ‘ International Grain‘and Hfly Show at -' Chicago, the greateSt crops exhibition ; in the world. For four years Wolverine c1 ops growers have invaded the historic old halls at the Union Stock Yards With, produced. Four years have seen them 1eturn bearing the laurels of sweeping vic- tory in nearly every class inwhich they could compete. Rosen rye and Red Rock wheat were names to conjure with at every Inter- national. Last ,year the corn and oat growers came to their own and Dun- can and Laughlin Corn, along with Wolverine oats, were Michigan varie- . ties to .win new places in the Hall of Honor. hr those classes and in hay - Michigan farmers won over fifty per cent of the_prize money offered. Can they continue the pace? That is the question to be answered next Decem- ber and already the crops growers from the “'olverine state are prepar- ing for action. , Fairgrove, the progressive seed cat and barle‘)r producing community, is getting all set for the strongest dis. play of its wares ever made at Chi- cago. The Vl’orthy oats and VViscon— sin pedigree barley grown by these 0 farmers demonstrated, at the recent, State Fair, that there was quality of the first rank. The names of Fritz Mantey, Ed. Coler, IV. R. Kirk, Henry Lane and others of their neighbors, are almost certain to be heralded among the winners. Then the VVolver— ine oat growers, G. D. Dailey, of Kal- amazoo; Ralph Arbogast, of Union City, and a dozen others will be on hand to make the Michigan represen- tation in this class complete. The Manitou Island Rosen Rye growers, George and Louis Hutzler, and Mrs. Ben Johnson came to bat with highest honors at the Michigan and are going down to Chicago to regain first honors taken from them last year, for the first time, by Alberta, Canada. Many growers of Rosen rye 011 the mainland will be on hand to see that competition is keen and that part of the thirty rye prizes ‘don’t go to other states for want of Michigan exhibitors. Red Rock wheat will again be there and, with C. D. Finkbeiner, of Clinton, and John'Veitengrueber, ‘of Franken- muth, already widely prominent with this variety, will be John Wilk, .of Alma; J. I. Hazelitt, of Ionia, and oth— ers who have produced soft red win- ter wheat of merit. Yellow corn should see the greatest increase in number of exhibitors of any class. A great many growers of Duncan, Laughlin, and Pickett corn were added last year and nearly all of them should be able to make an ex— cellent and representative exhibit. For the first time in the history of the International a class has been pro- vided for MiChigan’s pet crop, the White Navy bean.

P. A.

J-IICKS’ DISPERSION SATISFAC- TORY.- HE J. M. Hicks establishment has been prominent in live stock cir- cles for many years. Mr. Hicks and his family of'six sons have produced and sold a great many pure-bred horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. Their fa1m has lecently been sold and thei1 heids and flocks dispensed at public auction. The Percherons sold readily, and at prices that a few years ago would have been considered cheap. The bet- ter ones brought $200 to $225 which, under the present condition of the horse market, was considered fair. Holsteins sold well, especially the cows in' milk, $200 taking the top. Some of the younger females at $50 to $75 looked like good investments. The sheep were in good demand at fair values and the hogs were also quickly absorbed‘by the crowd. Sows with pigs and young gilts were in spe- cial demand. The Hickses expressed themselves as being quite well satis- fied with the outcome of the sale.~——P. SALE OF HOLSTEINS AT ANN ARBOR. HILE the sale of pure-bred Hol- steins at the auction held by the VVashtenaw County Holstein Associa- tion at Ann Arbor last week did not establish any records for such events, it was well attended and all the ani- mals brought into the ring were sold. Five cows brought a total of $1,260, or an average of around $252.

U. P. POTATO MEN HAVE MEET- ,INe. a MEETING of delegates from the principal potato growers 'in the Upper Peninsula was held at Escanaba on September 19, f01 the consideration of a plan fostered by the Michigan Po- tato Growers’ Exchange for the estab- ment of a branch office of the Potato Growers’ Exchange in the Upper Pe- ninsula. Some forty delegates were present and are reported to have been favorable to the idea. The represent- ative of the exchange put the total shipments of potatoes from‘the penin- sula in a season at seven hundred cars, and stated that the exchange would Want to handle sixty per cent of this business. A plan for handling potatoes on a national basis, such as is now used by the California fruit growers, was also considered. Under this scheme, growers would contract for seventy-five percent of their crop on‘a five-year basis. . ._._—_._1..___—. PEA CANNING IN HOUGHTON. R. L. M.

PUBLIC TREATMENT FOR GOITER. OITER is well-known to be preva- lent in the lake states, and seems to .. be "particularly "common in the northern sections of these states, rural as well as urban. The mediCa] socie- ties of Menominee county, Michigan, and Marinette and Florence counties, Wisconsin, recently held a joint meet- ing where the goiter situation Was gone over and a resolution was unani— mously adopted calling for increased prophylactic measures on the part of school and other ofiicials. ed phophylacs-is is a. small and very cheap dose of iodine, properly prepar- ed, given at intervals. It is pointed out that teachers and Sohool nurses can readily give the necessary treatment and make the proper records of the cases found in schoOl. Simple goiter is pronounced by the physicians as an easily curable ailment and it is esti- mated that the number of present cas- es could be reduced fifty per cent, provided the simple treatment here recommended is, given. There is a considerable increase in the attention being given to goiter in the Upper Peninsula. Tests at the Northern State Normal School, Marquette, indi- cated that nearly ninety percent of the women students had,enlarged thy— roids. It is not uncommon to find par- ents who now see to it that their chil- dren get the proper dose of iodine in th‘eir food. ’ MILK PRICES INCREASED. THE price of milk in Iron Mountain has been raised to twelve cents per quart, states the News of that city. Milk producers have issued an explanation fOr the raise through the county agricultural agent, who as- cribes the increase to inmeased cost 'of labor and feed. Labor costs $4 to $5 per day, which the farmer cannot afford to pay, while feed prices are said to be twice that of last year. Bran, last year, cost $18 per ton. Un- der such circumstances the consumer must take a part of the load in the form of increased price for his milk. The agent suggests that, if he does not think this price is right, let the con- sumer go on to a farm and see if he can produce it for less. Keeping COWS within the city limits is protested against._ This is bad for the‘city and the outside farmer can do the job bet- ter. At Ironwood, milk dealers have "formed an association for the purpose of effecting closer cooperation with the department of health of the city in complying with sanitary regulations relating to the sale of milk. For one thing, evidence that all cows furnish- ing milk for city use have been tuber- culosis-tested, is called for. :Suflicient' The requir- . of operation.‘ ‘ . -0m----------. - ‘ V I 0 .o------------------------------------------—---------. ----------------- 'O---------------------.

H ”Inf”! my“ E arrived at our destination, the ,Greende Stock Farm, just in time to see the last rows of tall corn. falling ‘in bundles behind the binder. It has been a greatcorn year in. southern Michigan and northern Ohio. Three acres of late planted corn has been sufficient to fill the 10x36-* foot silo on this farm, which provides succulence for the dairy herd of Jer- seys all through the winter months. The ten-acre field represents, in ad- mirable manner, the bid of the father- in-law for membership in Ohio’s One Hundred Bushel Corn Club. . It is no 'silight achievement to produce one hundred bilshels of shelled corn, as an average per acre for a ten-acre field, but such is the requirement if one would qualify for a place among Ohio’s one hundred per cent corn growers, A considerable number of farmers have made the grade in the few years since the club was established. and it ' ‘is a good mark for the ambitious to shoot at. The father-in-iaw,.although past the allotted span of three score - 9 and ten years, is still young enough to ienjoy the thrilluof doing things. i he Condonfls or “Roddy,” This yéar he stands a, very‘good chance to become, through actual accomplish- ,ment, the oldest' member of this mer- itorious club. Another field will be left to mature, and be husked from the standing stalks. As it stands today it is a ver- itable young forest, one of the heav- iest crops of corn that, I have ever seen. A two-year-old sod, heavily ma- nured and fall- plowed is the cause f01 it The stand is thick, the growth enoxmous, and the ears hang big and heavy. The Tomato Harvest. Here in Wood county, Ohio, which county is noted for a number of things, the tomato crop is of consider- able importance. About a decade ago a ketchup factory was started at Bowl- ing Green, the county seat, and it has grown to be a rather influential factor in the prosperity of the community. Greenwood Stock Farm growsa few acres of tomatoes each year for this. factory. The crop is ordinarily quite a satisfactory one. I believe rather more in favor with most farmers here- about than'are sugar beets. I hove just come in from handing up a hun- dredhsmpers, 'as the low wagon, with the wide flat rack, moved back and forth along the roadways. So far the little six-acre patch has produced sev-’ enty-flve tons and the pickers arc‘ still at it The excessive rains, which caused some delay at the beginning of the picking season, have been responsible for a great many spoiled tomatoes, nevertheless the total income prom- ises to net for the use of lurid and labor (exclusive of picking), approxi- mately $100 per acre. It is a strenuous job, this tomato harvest, especially during seasons like the present, when the weather has caused the crop to ripen quickly, but as an additional source of income for the diversified farm the crop occupies a quite satisfactory place GETTING MONEY OUT OF POOR BEANS. (Continued from page 351). and to also store the beans wherethe temperature is fairly high for a. couple of days :‘before‘ the cleaning is attempt-' ed. By taking these precautions, very satisfactory work can be done.” i It was the opinion of Mr. Miller that money could be cured by running s-Lrthrough the machine beans which picked Seven percent or more- ' Leaving Mr. Miller we'drove to Mn; as the height "they'came, from‘ the thresh'e‘r. necessary to use the picker. sense. and steady appliCatlon to his job, has won the admiration and confi- dence of the farmers in his commu- nity. Mr. Condon, when told the pur- pose of cm visit wok us to one' of the finest hog houses in central Michigan, . and there showed us "about one hun- dred bushels of culled beans which had been taken out of nine hundred bushels in‘ the Condition, in which You could scarcely find in these a: good bean,lyet the picker had reduced [the pickrto three pounds, he declared. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic. for it had not been necessary to haul this hundred bushel of culls to the elevatm to be left there. Also the cost was small. The culls, too, are worth at least, a cent a pound fOr feeding purposes. These culls, he Stab ed, were even better than what yOu would ordinarily purella'se from the el- evators, since they contain a grade of beans which the elevator men fre- quently remove and sell as couriers. Mr. Condom confirmedyvhat Mr. Miller had stated about housing the machine in a. warm place when operating in cold weather Anothel good farmer who used. one of these machines extensively last year, is John Shay, who frequently sells a good team of Percheron horses for a nice round sum. One such team was disposed of a few days ‘ago for $700. They Weighed 4,140 pounds, were five and six yeais old, and went. to the lumberwoods in northern Vi'is- cousin. Mr. Shay, like his neighbors, was also enthusiastic about the bean pick- er, notwithstanding his crop this year is of fine quality and was harvested under conditions which made it un- As men- tioned before, his beans this year were picking only three pounds. Last year Mr. Shaw harvested 2. thousapd bushels. These picked twelve. per cent. They were run through the picker which reduced the culls to two per cent. Six thousand pounds of culls were removed. Neighbors also brought beans to be picked, some'com~ ing as far as eleven miles away. For this work Mr; Shay-received- $225 31.24 dltlonal. As a result of his work on the 1922 been crop, he. states ,thnt he realized a. profit of $435 after paying for the machine. We were fortunate, also, in being able to talk with a large number of other farmers who had witnessed the operation of these pickers. iWithout exception, they seemed fully satisfied that this new device showed a. way of materially cutting the cost of putting damaged beans upon the market. While some of the elevator managers are said to be objecting to the general introduction of the machines, others declare that the cleaner the farmers can deliver the crop the better they like it. —B. W. n “Professor Diggs, the famous arche~ ologist, is said to have discovered half- a—dozen buried cities. Mrs. ought to be proud of him.” ' “Weli,, yes, but she would have more respect for his ability as an explorer if she didn't have to find his hat' for him every time he leaves the house." I The following was overheard recent- ly‘ in s. department’stoge: ' ‘t‘Clerk—L?’Comye,corne,"sir!'

In visits I have had with coal dealers they state that hard coal will be very . scarce Even if there is no strike it is difficult fuel to obtain in Michigan late in the winter. There is no satis-_ .‘ ° “ factory substitute for chestnut hard coal in operating coal burning brood- ers. When a hen shows signs of colds or * in a brood coop on the damp ground where the conditions are worse than those that made the bird sick. Then the sick bird is oftenneglected at feeding time and given insufficient wa- ‘ ter. Such cases usually die. A dry ventilated colony house or a dry shed is the only satisfactory chicken hos- pital. If sick‘ birds cannot be given good care it is merciful to kill them at once. At present prices wheat is a great bargain in poultry feed Some poul- trymen are using two parts wheat to one of corn in the scratch grain ration This is in place of equal parts of wheat and corn, which is usually rec- ommended for fall feeding. Poultry- men who can store up‘wheat for next year's feeding may save money. It does not seem that a product as valu- able as wheat could possibly‘be any cheaper. Next spring the growing stock that receive plenty 'of wheat will , 'be apt to" thrive. I have raised very , good looking chickens on nothing but wneat, sour milk and a clover range. ‘ That was when good corn was, scarce, which has not recently been the case. Plan Poultry ‘Work. < , A lot of time is lost by poultrymen 1 . ’ who are always wondering what to do , next a_nd.spending time thinking about ' , it. “Do something right now,” is a ' good rule to follow. Then you find ' that a lot of' unpleasant jobs are soon ’ cleaned up. Cleaning dropping boards, treating for lice, dressing broilers and j scrubbing poultry dishes are not en- ’ joyable unless you can visualize your , work in healthy, fine looking birds and 1 a little spare change that can be de- rived from them. I do not think ‘a poultry business '1 ,. can thrive long on enthusiasm alone. 1111.131. Notes 1 By R. G Kiréy That may last a couple of years but ‘ other sickness it is often penned up. apOultry keeper must make a little money for‘his work, orthe enthusiasm is apt to wane. That is why .plungers with poultry have injured the busi- ness. They have an overdose" of en- .thusiasm at the start and try to do . big things. The returns do ”not meet expectations and then the business goes down. " i From reading and ~observation I have noted that many of our‘poultry specialists who have been in the" busi- ness frbm twenty to thirty years or more have very vigorous stock. Many of these breeders have always empha- sized plump meaty bodies and have, fed fer vigor and hatchable eggs, rath- er than heavy egg production. I think some of: these old breeders must know alot about the poultry business. Some day vigorous breeding stock which produce plump, livable chicks will at— tract attention the same as record laying hens. The poultry keepers who make the most money selling breeding stock are those that have good looking birds. If the cockerels from a high record hen look like scrub cockerels not many farmers like to have them in the barnyard. When the average farmer picks out a breeding cockerel I have noticed that he- picks the bird for style and vigor and does not seem to worry about the pedigree. When buying breeding stock it pays to isolate the birds in a colony house for about a week’to see if any disease appears. It is very difficult to buy much stock without occasionally per- mitting a diseased bird to enter the farm. This is proven by the experi- ences of some layingcontests. Picked birds are shipped to the contest by skilled breeders and yet certain dis- eases may appear in the pens that must have been present when the birds were shipped. l have figured out how much canned salmon, sirloin steak or veal I can purchase at the market for the price 'of a plump two—pound broiler. Having an appetite for properly fried or baked broilers I feel that it is no extrava- gance to use as many of them as we wish to dress for the home table. I think if poultry keepers would try out .more ways‘oi' using poultry meat at home that it would benefit the market (Continued on page 378). 00:07 v. V ‘ The Ashland Plan HE Ashland plan, says A. W. San- _ born, of Ashland, Wisconsin, links 1 up business men and farmers for the '- / _. . , promotion of better dairying. The bus- ' ,iness men provide much of the capital and the farmers the labor and knowl- edge. Mr. Sanborn stated that with .the removal of the lumber industry from the Ashland district, business men saw their buSiness largely disap- “ / . pear‘ There was so farming adjacent to Ashland, but the “lumber-jack” ,\ farmers, who did” a little farming in 1 ‘ the summer and worked in the woods during the winter; Were unprogressive and produced very little saleable p1 o- duce. In self-defence, business men of Ashland undertook to put these farmers on their icct as progressive dairy farmers The first thing was to get them.. viith chattel mortgage as security, and then selling these notes to the banks of Ashland, which, thus endorsed, took them 1eadily. With the proceeds of this loan in hand, business men and farmers appointed ‘a committee to pur- chase the stock with expert assistance fiom high-grade herds in Wisconsin. When the cattle were delivered in Ashland, they were assembled, the ac- tual cost price of each and the hand- ling cost was placed, on a tag attached to the horn of each animal, and the farmers made their Selection then by lot, so as to equally distribute the cat- tle among the buyers Farmer pur- Chasers entered into a Icontractural ar: rangemen‘tfwith the business men Who had” und rwritten the pprchase in re- gard to” nopet; or. the animals and ' . e, returns from the stance, Mr Sans -( ‘ In nata single in hot n rams ch' y take the risk?

Occasionally they laughed. But this was not often. They were well satisfied to sit before the Winter fire, she with an elbow on his knee, with his rugged hands in her hair. And after a 'while she would ask him no " more to kiss her good night—he did it as of right, and very beautifully, on her hair—so much like Seffy, that first dear kiss—that it made her sob” always. “Just like Seffy!” she said the first time and cried, pushing him out of the door when he would have asked'a question. But he asked his question one day. It was whether she had loved Seffy. “Not till Seffy comes!” she cried. “I won’t answer.” “Sally,” he said solemnly, “I killed my little boy. He is dead. I hurt him ——I made him ateard of me—he drag- ged himself away to die, like wild ani- mals that air hurt by men. So you will have to tell me.” “No—no!” she begged. “He is not dead.

They sat silent by the fire for a long time then. Presently theold man rose and lifting her he said, with a smile such as she had never seen on his face: “Yas — for Seffy’s sake —— come! Now!” . ’ It Was night. But he led her from her own house to his. And that night she slept in Seffy’s bed“ One of Sally’s duties was the night- ly reading of the Farm Journal.

We’ll find out about the succession tomor- '1ow night. But what was the smart feller’s name?” She pretended to look for it, and when she pretended to have found itz. “Mr. —-S. P. Brown,” she read. “A Kansas man+about Maryland! ' Huh!” . But that‘night, after Seffy’s father was in bed, Sally wrote a pitiful letter ——perhaps the first she had ever writ- ten: “‘Dear Sefiy (it ran) Please come home. as you get this. you. He is old and ’sorry, so please come right away. . Sephinjah P. Baumgartner, Senior.” But the envelope was addressed to. “Mr. S. P. Baumgartner, Jr., President Kas. State League, Kansas.” ‘ The post- -mistress smiled indulgent- ly as Sally handed in the letter the next day. “A long way off,” she said. “Yes," said Sally, fidgeting with her bonnet. “How soon do you think it will get‘ there?” - The post-mistress reflected. “About a week,” she said then. “So long?” ' “Well,” said the post-mistress com- fortingly, “mebby not quite so long. But better not count much on its get- ting there sooner. I’ll give it a good start. I’ll put it in the mail bag now.” “Thank you,” said Sally. She watched her put it into the bag and then went dreaming home, and for all of the.two weeks of waiting she was very happy—dreaming al- ways. Poor girl—she had made her life so unhappy that jog seemed di- vine. She was' sure .of Sefl'y. Some- times she wondered with a blush and a start if he might not Come ,himself in answer. She would not have been surprised to haye him steal up behind hen—that was his way, she remember- ed———and call out softly her name. So she went about almost on tiptoes so that she might‘hear him if he should! It was a little difficult to keep it from theyinquisitive old man, who did not quite. understand her- sudden happi-' ness. But she did. And, finally, the two weeks were up. She was quite sure Seffy would not waste a moment with his answer. And he might use that mysterious instru- ment, the telegraph, which she under- stood would not take more than an hour from Kansas. She supposed his message, even if he used the tele- graph, would come to the post-office. But, as a .matter of fact, she had thought it would takeionger. Kansas (Continued on page 369). By.Fran/t R.

And now, as she dressed her- ' “ self in her best clothes to go to the ‘ past-omce, she felt, somehow, as if she Were to be in Seffy’s personal ‘pres- ence, and must, be as immaculate as always. She wondered how he would address her—forgetting that his an~ swer must come to the one whose " name she had signed.’ She had heard of various most dear head-lines to let~ ' ters. .I am afraid she blushed at all this. For, as she looked in the glass, she saw a face so radiant that she looked again to identify it. So, all the more, she'dressed herself with the same care she would have taken were she going to him instead of to the post-office for his letter. She remembered what he had said about her hair, and she ventured to pull it about her face, much as it had been that night-in the dark parlor. But at the thought of that the tears came slowly into her eyes. She had been vé'ry happy that night. It was all the happiness she had ever knOWn, it seemed now. She dried her eyes and then she sat down at the table where Séffy had often sat, and looked again in his broken mirror. The radiance was quenched. 'Her face was 'pale and thin now. She thought of it quite as if he were soon to see it. “I wonder if he’ll think me hand- some now?” She‘ shook her head doubtfully at the face she saw in 'the glass. “No, I have no red cheeks no more—and my eyes are bigger—and my lips thinner—and my hair is paler —and my hands—” She remembered how he had kissed them, and put her head down and sob- bed. They did not seem fit to be kiss- ed now—«nor worth kissing. But the post-mistress liked her bet— ter that way and so do I. For she had acquired a daintiness that Was al- most immaculate. As soon as Sally came, the post-mis- tress smiled and shook her head. ‘For she had understood what the letter contained quite as if she had seen it. And she watched anxiously for the answer. “Not yet,” she said compassionately. Sally’s legs . weakened and she clutched at the little shelf before .her. It took a moment to swallow the thing in her throat. Then she murmured: “It’s two weeks." “Yes. But he’d have to be pretty prompt to get it here by this time.” Sally had been sure of this prompt— ness. It never occurred to her to doubt. She would not have wasted a minute. ‘ She turned hopelessly away. ”Perhaps tomorrow!" said the kind postmistress. ' Sally‘ veered, smiling. “You think so?” “Perhaps. One can never tell. Don’t worry, dear. You see the address was very vague and it may be some time before they find him.” “You don’t thihk it is‘too late?” “I hope not, dear.” She had not thought of that before. She had fancied him waiting for some such recall. But, of course, he had formed other ties—he would be glad to forget her. He might be married! , ‘Of course he was! Otherwise he could not be' a president! ,“I guess it’s too late,” again. ‘ , "I would not think that. The ad- dress was very vague. But, after you were gone, I took-the precaution to put ‘a return address on the envelope, and if he does not get it, it will come back; but that will take ‘some little she said i ' ”time.” I - There was nothing the next day nor the next, nor for many days afterward She , ~ sham new“!

She must not give up though. Strange, things happen; some- times, with letters. ‘ 'The letter had been returned, the post—mistress had it then. But she pityiiigly thought it best that Sally should wait for it still, while she tried to send it back to him. Otherwise it was very much as Sally had planned and hoped, save that she was a bit sadder. She kept Sei‘fy’s father’s house, as, perhaps, no house was ever kept before. She had not been famous for the keepingof her owu house in the days of her coquette- ship. Her grandmother had attended to this—and then a maid who inter- preted her faultlessly. But now her own hands did all—and did it with love. And she did replace Seffy-anri more. _For she plowed, and, after a brief apprenticeship, no one did it bet- ter. The bay mare was as kind to Sally as she had been to Seffy. Noth— ing in his life had ever been so sweet to the old man as those rests when they met.’ And no food was ever so piquant as that eaten under the trees at their mooning. Sally still went to the post-office, and the post mistress still had her letter. where she could have put her hand upon it, though she mercifully conceal- ed this. But there was no hope. Not a word of confidence had passed between Sally and the kind post-mistress, but each knew that the other understood quite as if their confidence was com- plete. So that it was is if they spoke of an old matter when Sally said, one day: “Yes—I guess it’s too late.” He’s married.” “I wouldn’t think so, if I were you, till I heard from him,” said the com— passionate wdman behind the counter. “I thought so once. He want to war. I heard that he was killed. I married another man—just—oh, just because! Then he came back. I have always been sorry.” Something filled the speaker’s eyes —and Sally, with the dumb intuition of the primitive nature, stood there a long time and said only, “Thank you.” But after that hope rose andllived again. ‘ That night the post-mistress receiv- ed”, from Washington, the address of the Kansas State League of Farmers’ Clubs, and put it on- the face of the returned letter and sent it forth again. CHAPTER XV. \ Shall Seffy Enter at This ,Cue? INTER had come again—the fifth one. They sat together in the great hearth of the kitchen, in their characteristic attitude when before a fire. The hickory logs sputtered sav- agely, but sent out to them, neverthe- less, a grateful warmth. Their faces and bodies glowed in the fervor of it. And there is nothing like this to put one at peace with all the world. ‘ “this is “Sally,” said the old man, nice.” “Very nice,” agreed Sally. But also there is nothing like this to send one’s memory backward. And' ' this it was doing, for both of them. “Eferybody don’t haf no such fire to- night.” And the "everybody he thought of as he sighed was—Seffy. “No, not everybody,” sighed Sally, propping her head upon his knee. ». “Sally—who do you mean by efery- body?” “Just one person,” admitted Sally, “the same one you mean.” ‘ “Yas,” said Seffy’s father very soft- ly, and then they were silent. “Mebby some’s got no homes—and out freezing tonight,” the old man said presently. \ ' ”I hope not,”lsaid Sally. they are—couldn’t we: peppyl”; _ “We could ’ take them in here if we knew where __ Sure-Fire, All-Weather Ignition Silo filling time.

And purchased a neat little town house, as trim as a. Paris frock; Then moved all his goods and chattels and preparedto settle down To a life of ease and comfort in the midst of the thriving town. iCITY‘VERSl/S COUNTRY B y Cora Parker Watkins, Jeff Brown owned a grand old homestead, bequeathed to him by his dad. It was one of the finest places that a farmer ever had, Well stocked with hogs and cattle, well wooded, and seeded, and plowed. There wasn’t a man in the county who to own it would not have been proud. But Jeff and his good wife Susan‘ were getting along in years. - The children were married and settled, each engaged in his own affairs, And good help was getting scarcer than it ever had been before, So Jeff moved down to the village just at the close of the war. At first the novelty pleased them, they could sleep in' the morn till eight With never a thought of chores, because it was growing late.‘ On Sundays they walked to service, and at night to a picture show, These were treats for Susan, for she’d never had time to go. But after a while they tired of the sameness of the days, And their thoughts roved back to the farm with its homely, wholesome ways. The tenant was disappointing, the stock didn’t seem to thrive, The fields looked sort of neglected, the poultry more dead thanalive. And sometimes Jeff would ponder and question in his mind ; ‘ , g If ’twas any'harder plowing than it was to try to find or if riding’on a rake Wouldn’t be just as easy as a job you tried to make. And when spring came a creeping, and the air felt mild and clear Jeff, kind of hesitating, whispered in Susan’s ear: , “This lazy life in the village .fills me With discontent. ” We’ll move back to the country if you’ll giVe your consent. Then Susan’s better judgment came quickly to her aid. . “Wiser conclusion,” she affirmed, “was surely never made. Our place is where our home is, and Home for us, I guess, » . y ” Means back on the farm where we’re useful and living brings success. So a buyer Jeff found for the cottage, (and not much gain did he make), The neighbors were all quite puzzled; they thought there was some mistake. But when they questioned Susan, she nodded her wise old head, . While Jeff with a quiet chuckle answered, and happily said: I have left my house tin thte village and come (liliere to stay till I die.

The white man’s diseases have sometimes swept away half the popu- lation in some remote quarter of the globe. In 1860 some, traders captured fournatives and put them'in the hold of "the ship, where men were ill with measles. As soon as the four captives had been there a few days and had become ill, they were put ashore, so as to spread the disease and kill off hundreds of others. ,The experiment was successful. Slave ships for'years visited the islands of the south seas and carried off thousands of wretched and terrified humanity, of whom hun- dreds died on route ”and were cast overboard. - - O UT such are not the only types of white men. Others have gone to these far-off places; ofllthe earth and have brought peace, goodwill, health, industry 'with them. ”Years ago a Scotchman named Lovedale went to Africa and established a. ,work among the natives that has ‘ become world famous.

It is a food rich in iron and fur- nishes substances which stimulate the activity of the intestines. As a body- cleansing and regulating agent, .it is very essential.‘ Often the family becomes tired of just canned sass, and it is up to moth- er to, tempt the appetite by various dishes. Breakfast always calls for fruit, when possible, and when the home supply becomes diminished grape fruit, oranges, prunes, and figs may be called upon to help out. Prunes should be served at least twice each week. It should be remembered in cooking dried fruit that a long soaking is nec- 'essary, followed by a short cooking period in the same water in which the fruit was soaked. This improves the taste, as will also a slice of lemon ' added while cooking. Most housewives have undoubtedly canned their full quota-of thirty quarts of fruit per person for the eight months when fresh fruit is not obtainable; but this amount should not be served just as canned fruit. When mixed with desserts, salads and puddings, it loses its commonness and yet holds its di- gestive value. One cup each of canned cherries, strawberries and pineapple, drained, and mixed gently with a cup of apple jelly, into which has been beaten one- half cup of whipped cream makes a tasty hurry—up dessert when company comes unexpectedly. Fruits with cooked rice are good and when combined with the breakfast cereal make a delightful change. Oft-_ times children can be induced to eat their ’full portion of cereal by the ad- dition of a few raisins or dates to their dish. , ,. Cherries combine well with tapioca. A tasty sauce for this pudding may be made by putting two cups of Cher? ries through a sieve and adding only enough juice with one-half cup of rich syrup to make the consistency of gravy. Pineapple cut in small cubes wholly changes. the ordinary corn— starch pudding. Stewed prunes served with French toast with cream are very good.

We have removed all paint from doors, but added new casings, baseboards and new oak floors. ShOuld the Woodwork be enameled or finished with varnish stain? ShOul'd the floors. be same color as the Woodwork, and . should the floors be varnished or wa'x- , ‘ ed?—— Mrs .F. K. The enameled woodwork looks very . well and can be tinted according to one’s taste, but the finished wood, as ‘ cording to the finishing of many up—to- ' date houses, is much preferred Would advise you to see an expert painter re- garding the material you put on, as some of the wood is new, While that in the doors where you have removed the paint are old. To have the eas- ings and doors finished alike would need an expert’s care and attention, or one may be a few shades darker r‘ than the other. The floors should be slightly darker . in color than the casings and doors. The general appearance 'of any room" should be from the ceiling to the floor " a gradual darkening of tones. .. Either the varnish or the waxed fin- ish would be very suitableer your floors, the wax ‘is more lasting. onvcunme PORK.

For each one hundred pounds of meat use. 8 lbs. salt 2% lbs. molasses or 537111). warmed slightly Mix the ingredients well. mixtuie over the meat thoroughly and pack it away in a barrel, box, or on a table. About the third day break the - 2 ounces saltpeter 3 ounces black pepper 2 ounces red pepper bulk and repack to insure thorough, contact with the cure mixture,‘ then allow the meat to remain until the cure is completed. This will. take two days in cure for each pound that the individual pieces of meat weigh; for example, a ten-pound ham 'will take twenty days. After the meat has cur- ed, hang it in the Smokehouse with- , out washing. When the meat‘is pack- ed in tight barrels the liquid formed will aid in curing the heavier pieces of- meat, which should be at bottom. Some persons attempt to use the foregoing fo1mula without the salt- Ipeter, but the result will not be satis- factory. The saltpeter should by no means be omitted. seriousness in the acts of mischief perpetuated by the owners of. these dispositions, it is not always wise to apply the same set of rules to every child. Generally the mischievous. trait is brought forth from two causes; either the child is over—tired or else is of a very energetic nature. In case of the first, a warm “bath' and a nap will usu- ally bring himvback to his own sweet self. But if the very active child is . your' problem, supply him, with some. thing to do. Get him interested in his play with you.’ Spring 3. new‘ game occasionally, even old ones. with new names are played with mere enthu- siasm. . t :.

A Message from a Mother. ITH so many different little dis- positions and so many shades of some minutes of extreme quiet; I went in to see if she was asleep, only to find her busily snagging holes in the quilt with her teeth. I then brought her cut in the room with me and gave her some scissors and pretty pictures to cut out, and before tWenty minutes had passed she was asleep on the floor. , Sometimes, if the case warrants, to deprive a child of a well-liked pleasure is punishment enough. Do not make many rules and then stick to those made. Above all, set the children the ex- ample of a calm, unruflled temper yourself——for children are such imitat- ors. I have been surprised by hearing my five-year-old daughter reprimand- .ing her younger sister with ‘the very _ words -I had previously spoken to her, » even to the same tone of voide,‘ and l suppose, 'the some gestures Rub the . \1’ \ ls bEAUfrv » on LY ' SKlN ' uses? - HE factor the: matter is, that ' ' 'Lbeauty that really is skin deep ' has a mighty g'ood foundation. Our grandfathers and grandmothers did not know sozmuch about the skin as we do. They did not. know that it is asimportant. asthe urinary system; ’that,aalthough.working in a different way, it doespas much work and is equally necessary. "Of E.late yearsgirls and women have gone=m for giving the skin a lot more( attention. The-”result is that you find women in their—"turtles and fifties, right atthe ages where they used to talk of being. “old,” looking as fresh as their own daughters. ' They take a sponge or, tub bath every day—many of these women. It is not such a ter- rible ordeal.- They have a room of comfortable temperature and the wa- ter they use does not have to be cold, her do they need to use very much of it. But they get action on the 'skin with a big rough towel and make it glow pink all over as the blood rushes into it. They find it a better tonic than any medicine they can take. It puts elastic into-the skin and helps to take out the sagging wrinkles, to say nothing of the lift it gives to the complexion. Theuse women spend some time eve- ry day rubbinglotions and creams into the skin, too. They have a number of different creams and they use them on the exposed parts of the skin in such a way that it is quite out of the ques- tion for grime to become ground into hard lines, as was the case with their grandmothers. Some of them may add a little coloring matter, but my private opinion is that they are better off without it. Does it make for real beauty? I think it does. It really makes them younger. The skin is a worker and it does better wor for being well treat- ed. Its improv- action lightens the load of the kidneys and liver, and the heart and arteries feel better because of that. My opinion is that these women look better because they are better. The beauty that shows in their faces is the beauty of improved health. " Let us have more of the beauty that is skin deep. ONT FEEDING THE BABY. Can you refer me 'to some book on the care and feeding of young children or send me some pamphlets about this subject?——B. B.

I read inone of your papers some time ago about birthmarks not being caused by the things that have long been supposed to cause them. What does cause them? I have a large red mark'on one side of my face. I do not care to know so much on my own account as that of the parents of a little girl in the neighborhood who think she was marked on the foot by the mother coming into the room- and seeing me unexpectedly for the first time. I hope that it is a mistaken idea. My birthmark is supposed to be caused by mother’s fright at a prairie fire in the early days in Kansas.—~Un- fortunate. . . Birthmarks are not in any degree due to maternal impressions, and if anyone is endeavoring to fasten upon you the stigma of causing birthmarks in newly born children, they are not only unfair but cruel. The real cause of such marks is some fault in fetal development. If anyone else is to blame it is the child’s parents. My personal observation has allowed me to confirm the observation that par- ents who have one child marked often have the same misfortune with later children. PROTECTING BALD H EADS. Is there any damage to health in a person who is quite bald, wearing a toupee? Not at all. As a matter of fact, some baldheaded persons actually wear wigs to guard against taking cold. I think one would have to be careful to wear the toupee regularly. TREATMENT FOR DIABETES. Please tell me about the Insulin treatment for diabetes. I wish to know if it is a medicine that one can get at a drug store and take by mouth, or if it is something that has to be given' by a doctor. Does it make a quick iurg? Does it ever do any harm?— The Insulin treatment must be sup- ervised by a. physician. The remedy is injected by use of a hypodermic syringe, and the amount and method must be quite precise. It is possible for an overdose to do serious damage but fortuantely this can be easily anti- doted so long as the physician is watchful. Insulin does not cure dia- betes, but it clears up the poisons that have accumulated in the system and allows the patient to be strengthened by nourishing food. ' SORE THROAT.

Well, I must close, as my ”head is nodding already. ——Your niece, Hazel Wetzel, Berrien Springs, Michigan. There is no doubt about your being in the age limit. I am glad you are interested in our Circle doings and are going to be active in them. We’ll have some more Scrambles. Dear Uncle F1ank: ' I received my membe1sh1p and and Merry Circle button, and I sum was glad to get them. But I have been quite busy and haven’ t written before Two weeks of school have passed and I got one hundred in arithmetic every day, and I have got quite goqd HE leading thing of interest is whether we should elect officers or not. A great many boys and girls have written that they are satisfied with the way things are going now. In fact, most all who have expressed themselves at all seem to think that way. For instance, Bessie Eberly, Oke- mos, R. I., agrees with Anna Swanson that officers are not necessary. Zona Amos, of Owosso, said she did not think it fair to elect officers, but if we should she would choose me for all of them. The trouble is that thereis not enough of me to go around. Mil- dred A. Dakens, of Rockford, says about the same thing. - Herman King, of Grand Ledge, is satisfied with the way things run now. Frieda Kohlhoff, of Covert, and Bessie Smith, of Ravenna, agree with Aletha Eggert, that we should not elect offi- cers, but leave me as I am. Just what that reference to me means, I do not 7 know. Many others have given sim- ilar thoughts regarding this election matte1. ' ' .j 11.111101 run no: 2401- chem 8!. mile.

I like arithmetic, history and agr culture the best of all my subjects. . Oh, say, Uncle Frank, I can knit, embrdider, crochet, and I_ am learning to tat. I go to school and I have been in the canning club one year, and the sewing club two years. and I can milk cows, and I ride horse- back , too. Wéll, I think I have written about enough for this time. Your niece, Mil- 'dred Holmes, M. 0., Quincy, Mich. You certainly must be a busy girl. You‘undoubtedly enjoy it, as happi- ness is often found in accomplishment and seldom in doing nothing but wait- ing for happiness to come. . Dear Uncle Frank. Am trying for the first time in your contest. Do you think I’ll succeed in winning that membership card I am longing £01 so much? Oh! if I could only put M. C. after my name! Wouldn’t I be proud! I love to read the letters in the Michigan Farmer. I am a farmerettc for three years. I like the farm very much. Aren’t you glad the “Bobbed hair and knicker discussion” is all through? I am.

I bet you are a 193.1 farmerette and I am sure you will be a real Merry Circler when you can put M. C. after your name. Dear Uncle Frank: I have only lived on a farm for ten months. I came from Jackson last November, and I would not go back to the city for anything in the world. Three are about 350 acres 011 this farm We have even a. thousand little chickens, and I am telling all the Mer- 1y Circlers that it.’ s no easy job taking care of them, though I like chickens. —Yours truly, Bessie Gallagher, Chel- sea, Mich. We will be glad to have you in the Circle. It’ 5 fine that you like the coun- try better than the city. Most every- body who has tried both, prefer the country. Dear Uncle F1 ank I am sorryl worded my last letter as I did, as I see by me cousins’ let- te1s I offended some. Ihad in mind ~Mcrry Circle. Notes Stleet, Flint, in which she expresses herself legarding officers as follows. “I will offe1 my opinion of organiza- tion. Is the aim of organization to see who can get, an office? I don’t think so, and I do not think that those who have offices would be more favor. ed than those without. With officers, the responsibilities are taken off one ' person and divided. In this way more can be accomplished. That. is my idea of organization. United we stand, di- vided we fall. Organizations are pow- erful if not divided against them- selves.” Here the other side of the question is given in a very capable way. fiYon should give it your due consideration and then write me what you think of the subject. ‘ If electing oflicers is going to cause jealousy and favoritism, we do not want it. If it is going to help in build- ing- up and making better the Merry Circle, we should have an election. The other day someone sent in a nickle.

Don’t you think it would be nice to have a story contest, each story containing not less than three hundred words? I well remember the first money I earned. I was a real small girl.

When I was in the creek wading the other "day, a snake that was in the creek Wound around my leg. \ By Francis Ruesink, M. 0., Adrian, PMichigan. The thing I am most afraid of is fire. The reason is that one day at school the little children were out of doors playing. One of them came in and’said the neighbor’s barn was afire. We all ran out to see it. The teacher told another girl and myself to go and get the children and take them to the other girl’s home. The sparks were flying everywhere. There'was some hay in a field nearby and some of it caught fire. The teacher and the boys went over and put it out so it wouldn’t spread. ‘.The','sparks caught in some cornstalks. and a strawstack belonging to other neighbors-- The cornstalks had been standing against a barn but the man had maved them away when he heard about the fire. The straw- Stack was about two feet from an- other hard. The men were afraid that barn would burn, too, but they man- aged to save it. There were thirty- four sheep and lambs, four calves and three barns destroyed by the fire. 18y Burton Thorn,__M. C., Prescott, _ , , Michigan. .fiThe thing I am most afraid of is the dark.

Before it was long in progress we began to discover irregularities 0n the part of different firms.- .until the audit was completed and then cited these firms for hearing, and if found guilty could have issued an order to Cease and desist. We could not have put themed the market. We could not have fined them for what had been done. » Such a course would have required delayed action for many months until the audit could be com- pleted. I If was evident that members of the exchange had been gulltyof viciatlon of the rules of the exchange and had price is about $20 to $30 more on the thus rendered themselves subject to grades than they have been selling punishment by the exchange“ It was for locally - also evident that these guilty firms At least 500 people attended the sale had violated the 33193“ the StOCk' and in spite of lowering skies and mud yards company which they had agreed under foot they staid until the last to follow, and therefore had rendered cow was sold. Those who consigned themselves subject to punishment by were quite well satisfied.

The cattle were in charge of R. and to the stockyards company. Action G. Powell, tester in the Weét Kent by how was prompt and drastic Nine Cow-testing Association. N.

The guilty ones were punished premptly and ef- fectively and every practical step is being taken to secure restitution for shippers if they have lost anything through these irregularities. It should clearly be understood that the. punishment inflicted " by the» ex- change and by the stockyards com- pany does not relieve‘any of the guilty firms from the penalties or the law as enforced by the department of agricul- ture. In every case of improper prac- tice, formal proceedings have been or will be prosecuted by. us against both members of the exchange and non- members. If they. are feund guilty, orders to cease and desist will be is- sued and thereafter if the offense is repeated they will be subject to the fines imposed. Nothing has been done to relieve the guilty from the full pen- alties of the law and nothing Of this sort will be done. The penal punish- ment imposed by the exchange and stockyards company is not- a substi- tute for actidn by the department of agriculture, but an additional punish- ment. - The point to the whole matter is this, that the course I have followed has resulted in putting the most guilty ones entirely out of the market. If I had not called upon the live stock ex- change to punish its guilty members and the stockyards to enforce its own rules and regulations, 7 punishment would net have been prompt as it has been, and so far as my authority is concerned these guilty agencies would butter-fat or better, was $157. 97.

Caskey, had brought to the sale barn an attractive lot of spring boars and gilts. They were as uniformly good a bunch as one often sees, and althOug}: the sale failed to net quite up to expectations every- thing considered, it could have been The pigs from Mr. Hayue’s herd averaged an even $30 per head. Those consigned by Mr. Cas- key brought down the general average somewhat, although they were bred much the same and were in good 'con- . dition. The tops of the sale were a pair of classy daughters of “Fashion Post,” by "Peace and Plenty,” and went to the bids of the Tobey Brothers, of Un- ion City, at $50 each. Other buyers' were as'follows: E. H. Hoenos, Osseo: Amos Hepker, of Pittsf'ord; Roy Wineburg, of Hills— dale; Fred Smith, of Somerset; Hiram C. VerBeek, of Holland; Fred Skuse, of Pittsford; N. A.

SHORTHORNS SELL AT HILLS- DALE. HE Southern Michigan Shorthorn Breeders’ Association held their seventh annual sale at Hillsdale, on October 2. The bidding on thebetter sorts was reasonably active, although bidders wereloath to go very high. Col. Andy Adams, who did the. selling, . with the assistance of 0018. Hoffman and Post, found difficulty in securing bids that did not mean absolute safety for the buyer. Any inclination to spec- ulate was conspicuous by its absence. The average of the sale was depressed somewhat by the presence of some rather common sorts, and animals in poor condition and unbroken at tho halter. The public sale ring is decid- edly the wrong place for animals un- trained or out of condition. Bidding on this class will most surely be on a butcher basis, as was the case in this sale. _. The two top lots of the sale went on the $180 bids of George P. Card, of Reading. A. J. Tobey & Sons took away an outstanding good herd bull consigned by J. A. Barnum, of Union City, at $160. A pair of good ones went to the Francisco Farm at Mt. Pleasant. R. J. Hayward landed a few good ones for his farm at Morenci, and Isaac E1- dridge,.of Hillsdale, and Harley Rob- erts, 'of North Adams, each spent $100 for attractiye young cows. Other buy- ers were H. S. Kin’zel, of Pioneer, Ohio; Webster VVert, of Pioneer, Ohio; Jacob Gartmann, of Ann Arbor; Lewis Pope,eof Hillsdale; J. W. Jayne, of De- troit, for his farm at Fenton; J. L. Wilson, of Hillsdale; E. C. Welling- tom-o1 Springport; E. S. Brandeberry, of Waldron; O. L Wright, of Janos- ville; R L Schmidt, of Hillsdale, and H. J. Moore, of Waldron. A total of thirty-three head were sold for a. little over $3. 000, an aver- age scarcely leaching $100 per head.»— Pope. ‘FARM PRICES BETTER.

WHEAT Further advances in, prices will de— pend on whether active governmental assistance is rendered or not and upon continued demand for our wheat for export as well as the maintenance of a fairly high rate of operation by the flour mills. The outlook is rather strong on a domestic basis but the vis- ible supply is too large to permit a runaway market and it will be many months before any scarcity of wheat in commercial channels will develop. Seeding conditions in the main winter wheat belt are favorable and most of the crop is planted. Most reports still point to some decrease in acreage as compared with last year.‘ The south- western crop will probably go into the winter in much better condition than last year when a prolonged draught caused heavy winter abandon- ment. The new crops in the southern hemisphere are making. satisfactory progress but they are still two or three months from harvest. CORN Cash corn remains extremely scarce and demand from industries and dis- tributors is keen. Prices advanced last week to above the dollar mark at Chicago and St. Louis for the first time since October, 1920. Shippers with sales made for October shipment were the best buyers and it .is possible that the most urgent demand has been fill- ed. A little new corn is moving from the southern part of the belt. Damage by frost was greater than at first ex- pectedhalthough not so great as in 1917, and estimates upon the crop are ’ \being reduced to slightly below three billion bushels. he probably shows still greater l’oss. Its actual feeding val- .Weather conditions have been unfav— or'able for curing and mold and rot Will probably take additional toll. All .Isigns point to a tremendous feeding ’ demand during the fall and winter, al- v'xthough higher prices will tend to less f'wasteful use. - " OATS ‘ mmand. fOiT. oats. has brOadened. as : n has. not heel};l out-a; parfiwithé W .113; eye a. ,..ove; flnéé'ggbeslnninsotréhe new serve “re-4W 15‘ Per-Pen” heavier than in the corresponding pe- riod last year, but the visible“ supply ‘is far from burdensome in ’view of the prospective feeding demand. - 1 SEEDS Clover seed prices advanced to a new high for the season at the close of last week. Foreign »markets have advanced in line with the upturn in this country, reducing the likelihood of large imports. Receipts at the lead— ing markets reflect the smaller crop this year. At Chicago 921,000 pounds of clover seed arrived from July 1 to 3 September 29, compared with 2,132,000 pounds in the same period last year. September receipts at Toledo totaled 451 bags of two and one-half bushels each compared with 5,550 bags last year, and 6,831 bags two years ago. FEEDS Storage stocks of wheat feeds are still accumulating at lake parts as .de-3 mand remains dull. Distributorsare offering feeds in transit at discounts. Argentine bran is being offered in the east below domestic prices. Oflerings of cottonseed meal and linseed oil meal are plentiful. Evidently the late summer advance in feed prices was too rapid.for the health of the market and consumers are curtailing purchas- es as far as possible. HAY Hay markets remain firm as a result of light receipts. Demand for good timothy is excellent and stock yards interests and the southern trade are good buyers of alfalfa. The depart— _ ment of agriculture estimates that the marketable supply of timothy is only about 75 per cent as great as last year, while the prairie hay supply is slightly larger than in 1922, alfalfa about the same, and the clover hay supply about 50 per cent smaller. POULTRY. AND EGGS Egg prices have held relatively steady during the last week. Receipts at the leading markets remain heavy for this season of the year and have been ample for the consumptive de- mand. They are certain to decline progressively during-the next six or eight weeks, however, and the next movement of prices is likely to be up- ward. Stocks of storage eggs are not being distributed as rapidly as would be desirable in View of the enormous holdings. The October 1 reserve, ac- cording to the preliminary report, was 8,681,000 cases, showing a reduction of only 1,250,000 cases in September, compared with 1,684,000 cases last yean Chicago—Eggs, extras 38@41c; mis- cellaneous .29@320; dirties 22@24c; checks 19@21c; fresh firsts 30@34§éc; ordinary firsts 25@26c.

BUTTER Butter prices advanced last week and have recovered most of the loss during the latter‘part’of September, only to decline again-after the govern- ment’s storage report. Receipts of but- ter at leading markets continue to‘mn ahead of last year and creamery. re- ports still indicate a gain in produc- tion" over the fall of 1922, but con.- sumptive demand for fresh butter is excellent and the supply reaching the large ,cities has been inadequate. Stor- age butter is not being distributed quite so rapidly as last year and the statistical position is gradually losing its strength as total holdings on Oc-‘ *tober 1, according to the preliminary. report, were only 1,000,000 pounds lees than last year, compared with a short- age of 9,000,000 pounds a month ago. Stocks were six per cent below the five-year average, however. . . Prices of fresh butter were as fol- lows: 92~score fresh butter, Chicago 45c; New York 460. In Detroit tubbed fresh creamery sells for 43%‘@44%c. POTATOES Carlot shipments of potatoes from producing sections declined last week and consuming markets strengthened. The movement last Week was ,the smallest in a month and below the av- erage of the corresponding week in the last four years. For the season up to September 29c, leading late crop sections have shipped 30,157 cars as compared with 28,514 cars to the same date last year. The minor late crop states, however,‘ have shipped only 11,884 cars against 21,045 cars last year, most of the reduction being in New Jersey. 3 Northern round whites are quoted at $1@1.30 per 100 pounds in the Chicago market, and Red River Ohios at 95c@$1.15 in midwestern markets. BEANS , The wet fall in the principal sec- tions has delayed ripening and curing of the bean crop while wholesalers have deferred purchases in the expec- tation that new beans would be avail- able in large volume by this time. The result is a firm market with more or- ders on hand than can be filled from the beans that have reached elevators thus far. It is believed that in an- other week deliveries from the farm will be much heavier and the situation' should become easier. Choice hand- picked whites are quoted at $6 per 100 pounds f. o. b. Michigan shipping points. Great Northerns are quoted at $6.50 by the Yellowstone Valley growers. ‘ ' ' WOOL Wool prices are firm although sea- , Live Stock Market Service ~, ,Veal’ calves.

For a time my hens were not doing well; feathers were rough; combs pale and only a few laying.- I tried different remedies and finally sent to the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 502, Waterloo, lowa, for two 500 packages of Walko Tonix.
