CURRENT COMMENT





Respect for the law is one Of the

greatest essentials of a successful

democratic government.





“Do it now” may be a good axiom

in a business office, but on the farm,

“Do it at the right time” will bring

greater results.





The instinct of economy which re-

cent conditions have forced upon us,

will, in all probability, be looked upon

from the standpoint of history as a

genuine blessing in disguise.





RAIN farmers are





Domestic suffering a great-

. er hardship than any



”3‘ Foreign other class of farm—

Markets ers in the country at





the present time, due

to the fact that we produce a surplus

of grain which must be sold in for-

eign markets at the world price.





For grain, Europe is the foreign

market and Europe is in a bad way

financially, which makes grain prices

low. Europe is eating less meat than

formerly and should be consuming

more grain as a result, but the best

available statistics indicate that this

is not the case. In the stress of the

present situation Europeans are con-

suming less food, and under the neces-

sity of becoming as nearly self-sup-

porting as-possible are producing as

much of this minimum foodstuff re-

quirement as they can. There is thus

no probability of European markets

being attractive markets for American

farmers in the near future.





On the other hand, domestic mar-





kets are in a healthy condition as a. ..





whole. Our production along some

lines operates against an even balance

of prices, but as a whole there are

substantial price gains in comparison

with last year, which indicate an in-

crease in farm income of about a bil-

lion dollars. This increase could be

substantially augmented next year if

production could be changed to meet

domestic needs more adequately, and

to leave less surplus food products to

be sold on foreign markets. If our

production of sugar, for example,

could be increased to satisfy the do-

mestic demand, this would decrease

production along some other lines and

benefit both producers and consumers.



We are devoting a good deal of

thought at the present time to the

problem of orderly marketgin or the

sale and distribution of 0m pioducts

'ri‘f‘i'n accordance with the seasonal and

sectional demand for consumption.

Tillie is a long step in the right direc-





‘ "production. 'Orderly‘ production ’on a , '





national scale will, be difficult to ac-

complish and slow’to .be realized, but

immediate progress in this direction

is locally possible.

mestic markets capable of” absorbing

most. of the products of Michigan

farms. If we could analyze this mar-

ket properly and order our production

accordingly the result would be profit-

able to Michigan farmers and bene-

ficial to Michigan consumers Such an

analysis would be a constructive pro-

gram for our State Department of Ag-

riculture, and a national analysis on a.

like basis would be a constructive

program for the United States Depart—

ment of Agriculture. A general ap-

peal on the part of the farmers might

induce these state and national agen-

cies to undertake the job. Why not

try it?

water, they will not mix.

Selfishness is most apt to make its

appearance in cooperative organiza-

tions at this time of the year. Usually

it is now 'when the manager, through

overwork, is most likely to become

impatient with undue drainage on his

nervous resources. Then, too, this is

the time when the private dealer is

casting bait for the selfish and un-

wary member.

When we come to a careful analysis

of cooperative failures one finds that

obstinacy on the part of members is





quite as often the cause of failure as .





is fraud. The very nature of cooper:

ative enterprises will not permit them





to function while its members are pull-





ing in every direction.



The people of a community can only

cooperate where they can get together

and agree. This form of business en-

terprise flourishes when its members

have a good supply of common sense,

are tolerant and forbearing.



It does not mean the complete sub-

jugation of personal expression, but

it does mean that one will accord the

same respect to the opinions of others

that he desires for his own.



These situations make it imperative

for members just now and during the

months of winter to add to the solid-

arity of their associations through

loyalty to the fundamental principles

of true cooperation. /,





WE may search

Push

e. and not find one that

Bean supplies the splendid





balance of nutritive

elements that the bean does. Nor

have we one which gives to the con-

sumer such a high degree of. energy.



Nature has supplied to this product

an unusually liberal percentage of

protein. It has twenty per cent more

of this element than has corn, pota-

toes or onions. As compared to wheat,

it carries fourteen per cent more, and

it even contains a seven per cent

greater supply than does beef.



In the amount of energy, it is un-

excelled. It has double the calories

that are found in many of our meats

and eggs; leads by a long way the

whole list of vegetables and contains

even twice the calories of that par-

excellent food, milk.



It is .not our purpose to urge the

full substitution of beans for these

other foods. "Beans have a place when

used in combination or as a change;

and, particularly to the person who

is doing hard physical labor, the quan—

tity of beans included in the ration

can be relatively large to the advan~

tage of both health and economy. . 7

These facts, taken with the favor-

able keeping qualifies and easy hand-

ling, make beans a. product which

should. be favorably knov’m in every

household of the land. , _



The general consumption of beans

ought, therefore, to be encouraged.

How shall this be done?





_ NE of the disads

The ‘ vantages of farm-

Winter ing in this latitude is

that it is to some de-



Program gree a seasonal bus-





iness. 0n very many

farms there is not a great deal of op-

portunity for productive work during

the winter season. On the dairy farm

or the farm where stock feeding is

made a specialty this emergency has

been provided for, but on farms where

cash crops are made the special line

of production this is not the case, and

productive winter work is the excep-

tion rather than the rule.



This is a weakness in any system of

farming. In these days of keen com-

petition the factory which,must be



, practically closed for four or five



months in the year is greatly handi-

capped so far as profitable operation

is concerned. This is no less true of

the farm factory than of the commer-

cial enterprise. How to employ the

farm factory profitably during the

Winter season should be a profitable

subject for discussion at this time.

We should be glad to hear from our

readers as to how they have solved

this problem.





T seems that hu-





The man weaknesses

Booze are more interesting

than human strength.



BOOSter-‘i For this reason, the





violations of the

Eighteenth Amendment hold a promi-

nent place in the papers and in our

daily conversation.



Some would lead one to think that

violations of the dry law are inevita-

ble as the thirst for alcohol dominates

respect for law. They claim, further-

more, that the disrespect for this law

has made greater disregard for any

laws, and as a consequence we are

becoming a lawless nation.



While others will show very good

evidence that the dry law is bene-

ficial, the fact remains that generally

public opinion is not based on exact

knowledge, but is dominated by the

side which has the best press agents.

At present the wets seem to be ahead

in this respect.



There are undoubtedly violations of

the liquor law—~no law is without its

violators. And there may be a few

more of the Volstead Act than others





because .this wet propaganda has

made its enforcement rather hap~

hazard.





Perhaps some of the lack in this

law enforcement is due to the wets

getting their men in positions respOn-

sible for making the country arid.

This is like having a shoemaker em-

powered to enforce everybody to go

barefoot. Other insidious forces are

also probably being used to discredit

the present law and to bring back the

old order of liquor merchandising.



The present status of affairs, as bad

as they are, should not be discourag-

ing to the dry advocates. They only

show that the drys cannot afford to

be as'xleep on the job, but should unite

in an effort to hold what they have

already accomplished.



One of our chief justices said sev-

eral years ago that conditions regard-

ing liquor enforcement would get

worse before they would get better,

but he felt sure that this law enforce

ment would succeed. We are now in

this "worse” period. The country is be-

ing tested. But we are sure that it

will stand the test if it will Only m

buildings during slack times in the

suminer season, before. the more in-

clement weather of the late fall sea-

son. Observations made over a wide





area in the state indicate that much '





of this Work has been done this year.

But much more is needed, and on the

farms where this could not be done

earlier __in the season it can be done





with profit before winter closes in.’





The loss in present and. future ser-

viceability of a farm building needing

a new roof, for example, is too great

to let the need remain unsatisfied for

another year, and the same is true

with less important but equally need-

ed repaiis.





 





Pz‘ctyoofs





ICTYOORS is a. imitashun of the



original what is used by some

folks to advertise themselves. They

hand ’m around ’cause they like. to

hear folks say, how nice they look.



There’s some folks what like to

have pictyoors of themselves ’cause

they think it is easier on their ner—

vous system to look at that duplicate

than at themselves in the mirror.





That’s ’cause a mirror shows you like ‘





you are and a. pictyoor kin show you

like you wanta be, ’specially after- the

photografter changes your face on the

pictyoor so you'll

feel glad to pay

ten dollars a doz.

for the photo-

grafts.

_, Now, regular

photografts is dif-

ferunt from pict-

yoors. In pict-

yoors you kinda

look nachural, but

in photografts you dress up like fer

a funeral and you look like you was

goin’ to be shot before sunrise. Then

the photografter does the execushun

in a little while. Next you get a bill

for ten dollars, and a dozen of what

looks like the death mask of Christo-

fer Columbus with all the wrinkles

taken out. These you give to your

friends so they kin see what you’ll

look like when you are tryin’ to get

St Peter to let you in without a

tickut.





In a pictyoor you try to set around

nacherul-like. The one with the cam-

ery says, “Look pleasant please,” and

then you try to look like the flowers

of May.



Afterwards when you see the pict-

yoor you say, “Oh, ain’t that horrid a.

me?” That’s ’cause you tried to look

like a posey garden instead of yourself.

There’s nobody what likes a pictyoor

of themselves what ain’t nicer than

themselves. And when they get one

what is, they don’t say nothin’ but

they look at it in private and make

flatterin’ remarks to themselves.





 





Maybe you see that new pictyoor of

me last week? It shows me winkin’

but it don’t show what I was winkin’

at. Maybe Sophie is goin’ to use it

as evidence, but it ain’t no good fer

anything but circumstanshull evi-.

dence, ’cause she ain't got nothin’ to

show whether I was winkin’ at the

preacher or not.





I had several pictyoors taken but

they are all horrid ’cause they was

taken unawares-like. Sophie says the

only one that looks nacherul is the

one what you see this week. Anyhow,

it shows some accomplishmimt, ’cause

I got all the way through the alphabet

up to Z before they took it.

awards. “(This ,is quite a presentable

sum when you remember that it does

not include live stock or poultry).

And now note that the budget for en-

tertainment features was just $83.

Does your fair budget show premiums

and entertainment in the ratio of four—

teen to one in favor of premiums?

There was no midway and the only

concessions were those" whose business

related directly to the farming indus-

try, such as radio outfit displays, a

Farmers’ Cooperative Dairy booth,

etc. An automatic stereopticon dis-

played views of the county and illus-

trated some of the work being done

under the direction of the connty ag~

ricultural agent. A team of boys, from

a. poultry club, gave demonstrations

_And now we come to the most im—





Muskegon County Fair, an infant of .





three years which inherited only the

name from a county exhibition which

expired several years ago.



The Muskegon' Fair is held invone

building, the Armory of Muskegon. A

room, about 110 feet square, with all

available floor and wall space in use,





holds the choice products in which





the exhibitors, and the rest of Muske-

gon county, take pride. There are

eight departments, which include eve-’

rYthing except live stock and live

poultry.



Thus far this reads much the same

as any other county fair, but now

comes the difference. The 1923 fair

premium list offered over $1,200 in





portant part of all, at least in the

Muskegon Fair, the exhibits. The‘ap-

ple display, on plates and in trays,

baskets, and barrels, was pronounced

one of the finest ever, seen in western

Michigan. The quality was there in





abundance, and ability to pack and





display was also well demonstrated.

A total of 210 plates of apples were

shown, while seventy trays were in

competition.



The floral department, new this

year, occupied the center of the dia-

mond-shaped floor plan. 'lt justified

its location with a splendid display of

cut flowers and potted plants. Ninety

bouquets of flowers were entered for

competition. The gladioli and dahlia

display was especially fine, Muskegon

county having many growers who spe-

cialize in those flowers.



All of the other departments, house-

tition was evidenced in the individual

farm displays.

this state





A feature of the last evening of the

fair is‘ an' auction sale of products

exhibited. This places in the hands

of the city dwellers, at a reasonable

price, fruit, vegetables, and flowers

which the exhibitors do not care to

take home with them. The proceeds

also help solve the financial problem

of the fair.. -





And so, while Muskegon Fair ’is

comparatively small, and while it has

no home of its own as yet, still it has

an idea which is somewhat different

from the present trend of fairs. It

emphasizes premiums rather than

amusements by fourteen to one. It

aims to keep uppermost the idea of

exhibits and competition to teach

quality and methods of display. In

other words, it seeks to be an “agri-

cultuial” tail.



And will people actually come to

Muskegon for 1923 being estimated as

'Milk Producers Face Knotty Situation





Delegates: to Annual Meeting Vote C on fidenee in Program of Directors and Ofiicz’a/s

By Burt Wcrmuth





EVER before have the Michigan ,





milk producers faced a vmore



perplexing situation.” This was

the opening statement of President N.

N. Hull, of the Michigan Milk Produc-

ers’ Association, at the annual meet—

ing held at East Lansing, last Tues—

day.



This situation developed, according

to Mr. Hull, from an unusual set of

circumstances. During the month of

August. the demand for milk has in-

variably exceeded the supply. The

practice of having cows come fresh in

the fall, together with the customary

dry weather of this month and the

maximum demand for ice cream and

cool milk for drinks, make the prob-

lem of satisfying the heavy August

consumption a real one. to the dairy

industry.



It was so, explained Mr. Hull, until

the past summer, which upset all the

dope and put the entire milk market-

ing machinery out of gear. We were

all set, for a regular summer, but good

pastures kept up the supply of milk,

while a cool summer, with high retail

prices occasioned by the price set for





, August and September milk, and prop-





aganda attacking dealers, cut the city

consumption to a point where a sur-

plus of considerable proportions ac-





: cumulated.





“The dilemma goes to prove that

there are limitations beyond which we





zeannot go,” continued the president of _

”the association.

~ tion we were able to secure a price





“Through organiza-





of $3.80 per- hundred pounds, with 110

mph the dealers signed up.





 





‘ the Philadelphia area had to a great '.

ext '1: equal ed their production to





‘ delegates.





been modified and consumption en-

couraged.” -

Suggestions made by President Hull

looking toward the improvement of

the milk marketing machinery were

the thorough study of the entire in-

dustry by a committee consisting of

representatives of producers, distrib-

utors and the public; the establish-

ment and the maintaining of public

confidence by issuing facts on the

dairy industry which cannot be con-

troverted; the economic production of

good milk; the pooling of this milk;

the bringing of receiving stations un-

der the control of producers and the

development of manufacturing plants

fer the absorption of the surplus.

'Reports or) the Year’s Work-

Following the address of the presi-

dent, Secretary John Near surveyed

the past season’s activities for the

He followed the events

leading up to the selection of the ar-

bitration committee which planned to

figure out the price of milk from





month to month on a scientific basis. ‘

'Under this plan it was arranged to





have a careful survey of the Detroit

producing and consuming areas made

under the supervision of the Michigan

Agricultural College p1io1 to each

menthly meeting of the sales com-

mittee.



In an endeavor, however, to find a

more permanent solution. to the prob-

lem, a committee of four, consisting

of ‘two representing the dealers and

two representing the producers, went





‘ to Philadelphia to study the basic plan





as employed there. The prbducer‘s in





consumptive demands. This had been

done by establishing a basic amount

of milk which was paid for at a basic

price. For milk delivered over the

basic amount .and up to a quantity

equal to that amount, producers were

paid on the basis of New York butter

score 92, plus twenty per cent. For

any milk over and above this latter





amount, straight butter—fat prices

were paid.

This plan, in modified form, was





adopted in the Detroit area. To fix

the basic amount the production of

the last six months of 1922 establish-

ed the base for the first six months

of 1923. Then, it was further decided

that fthe average production for the

last six months of this year should

establish the base for the first six

months of 1924. This meant that the

producer was to receive full basic

price for all milk delivered during the

last half of 1923.



Then followed the heavy summer

production already noted, which made

it necessary to revise the plans for

October and reinstate a provision for

a surplus. The increased production

of July, August and September of this

year over these three months for 1922

exceeded eleven per cent.





Secretary Near then emphasized the





necessity of membership confidence





and cooperation, the need of ' full au-

thority by the sales committee to act

for ‘the members, the‘importance of

controlling receiving stations and

building needed manufacturing plants,

and of a willingness to accept all nec-

essary responsibilities, including guar¢





:antees of full and complete .payment





for all milk delivered by farmers un-

der the contract.



During the year, area organizations

were completed in the Ann Arbor,

Saginaw, Flint and Grand Rapids dis-

tricts. Each of these sections are now

cooperating to the fullest extent with

the state association.



Professor Horner Hits Hard.



“The milk producers of today are

far removed from the consumers,” was

the opener of a heart to heart talk by

Professor Horner, of the Economics

Department of the M. A. C. To get

the milk of fifteen thousand farmers

in the Detroit area to a million con-

sumers is no small task.



All the work of cooling, transport-

ing, pasteurizing, bottling and deliver-

ing must be done, whether by private,

public or cooperative institution.



That dealers are not making the big

profits which many uninformed per-

sons are declaring, is proven by the

fact that cooperative distributing

plants have not been able to reduce

the cost of handling. One western

cooperative has found that a. fifty per

cent spread is not sufficient for hand-

ling milk. Many do not understand

the conditions finder

sold in the cities. In Detroit, for in-

stance, nearly fifty per cent of the





milk is sold by the distributors on the ’





wholesale base and not at the retail

price of fifteen cents per quart.

Professor Horner contends





distributors and too much duplication

of milk routes. Detroit distributors





are constantly in debt to producers to

the extent of a half million dollars.“_





These business men. are naturally

anxious to buy at the lowest price and

sell as high as possible. Hence

INVESTIGATING FREIGHT RATES.





 





HE Interstate Commerce Commis-

sion has begun an investigation of

freight rates afi‘ecting the agricultural





- industry. Every railroad in the coun-p





try has been made a party to the in-



' ,Vet'stigation. Hearings are to be held

in Washington as well as in grain-

growi—ng regions, and in cities from

which export grain is shipped. These

hearings are for the purpose of find-

ing outto what extent rates on grain

and grain products are unreasonable,

and to establish just and reasonable

rates.



The Interstate Commerce Commis-

sion is investigating the feasibility of

consolidating railroads into eighteen

or twenty systems, with a View to se-

curing greater efficiency, and conse-

quently better service and lower rates.

This investigation will be concluded

in final hearings to be held beginning

November 1.





FARMERS BETTER OFF.





 





HE'impression that the farmers



need additional financial aid has

not been warranted by the facts, ac-

cording to Governor Cooper, of the

Farm Loan Board. Their general

credit condition has improved during

the last year, they have borrowed less

money than in the previous year. The





Farm Loan Board haskreceiveal ac-A-





ceptable demands for only $15,000,000

so far this year, although it had

further commitments which probably

would bring the total to $40,000,000.

This is only one-half of the money it

holds available to assist agriculture.

The demands have come largely from

the south and far west, generally from

cooperative associations, said Gover-

nor Cooper. There has been little de-

mand for credit in the middle west.





 





THE WH EAT SITUATION.





ENATORS BORAH and



and other

northwest are still demanding that

the government fix a price on wheat

or revive the United States Grain'Cor—

poration with authority to buy grain

and hold it off the market as a means

of saving the farmers from bank-

ruptcy.



President Coolidge is severely crit-

icized for sending a commission into

the wheat-growing states of the north-

west to organize the farmers’ cooper—



§.ative movement after the crop has

been harvested and the bulk of it has

passed out of the farmer’s hands. It

is impossible, asserts Senator Ladd, to

effect any relief through such an or-

ganization to meet this emergency,

and besides it is his opinion that the

personnel of the commission does not

recommend itself any too highly to

western farmers.



The North- Dakota senator advo-

cates loans to farmers by the govern-

ment through postal savings banks at

four per cent interest.

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

which was held in \Vashington 011 Oe-

This conference was participated in,

by many outstanding men and women

of all religious denominations, all pro-

fessions, and all shades of political

belief. .



“It was felt,” saidvFred B. Smith in

stating the object of the conference.

action behind a working vigorous pro.

gram. The lawbreakers and the. liquor,





interests are going forward with per-

fect accord to a prescribed plan. Noth-

ing less than an equal degree of‘efli-

ciency among the friends of good gov-

ernment will be successful in combat-

ting lawlessness and nuilification.”



“I do not believe that theiriends

of prohibition law enforcement are

discouraged. It seems to be the ene-

mies of prohibition very largely that

are so .concerned over the ‘failure,’ as

they see it, of enforcement, after a

three or four years’ trial,” said Pro-

hibition Commissioner Roy A. Haines,

who assured the conference that

“President Coolidge stands four-

square for enforcement of the prohibi-

tion law.”





In his speech on “Shall the Consti-

tution of the United States be Nulli-

fied?” Senator W’illiam E. Borah stat-

ed that “the hotbed ——the scouting,

noisy rendezvous~of lawlessness and

of cynical defiance of the Eighteenth

Amendment is among those of social

standing, large property interests and

the wealthier homes. Men of this

class, he said, areumore to be con-

demned than the untutored foreign

‘reds.’ Both, he declared, would break

down the Constitution of the United

States.





“What can these men of wealth and

social responsibilitybe thinking about

who, from their commanding positions

thus teach lawlessness to a whole

people? It 'is but, a short step from

the lawlessness of the man of means

who scouts some part of the funda~

mental law because, forsooth, it runs

counter to his wishes, to the soldier

who may be called into the street to

protect property but who, taking

counsel with his sympathies, frater-

nizes with the mob,” concluded the

Idaho senator.





The conference after much discus-

sion resolved that if the Volstead act





is amended the changes must be made





by its friends; that members of con—





greSs and of state; legislatures who





violate the basis should be retired to





private life; that jail sentences be giv.

yen violators of the prohibition ,. acts.,





and that delays in trials of, violators





craft, and every available agency he





used to police the shores of the Unit"





ed States; that the states face the re-

sponsibility with the federal govern-





ment in enforcement, and that on the '





people rests the ultimate responsibil-

ity for law enforcement.



It was planned to send out a nation-

wide call that January 6 be observed

as prohibition day; to promote a unit-

ed community campaign in every city,

town, Village and rural community. t1

support aggressively the local state





and federal authorities in law enforce-t





ment;-' that the presentation of the

question of law’ enforcement be- made

in the schools, colleges and universi-

ties,'and that law enforcement mass





meetings be held in twenty or more of '





the great centers of the nation at the

earliest possible dates,

meetings later in- villages, towns and

other cities.

farms within a radius of live miles

ous machines now employed in farm

“For. the average farmer the price

of electricity is too high and he is too

far removed from the source of elec-

trical power. In many cases where

he now has access to it he is not an

“The committee has befole it an ex-

THE FORD FERTILIZER PROPO~

SITION. '





ENRY FORD’S denunciation of



Secretary of War Weeks for his

action in selling the Gorgas steam

plant of the Muscle Shoals proposi~

tion to the Alabama Power Company

has brought that transaction very

forcibly to the front as a matter fer ,

a congressional contention the com-

ing winter.





Mr. Ford contends that the injury

done by Mr Weeks’ scheme tobreak

up Muscle Shoals and dispose of it at

piecemeal has landed on the farmers.

“I was willing to demonstrate at Mus-

cle Shoals that power and fertilizer.

could be produced at much lower





«cost than now and that the goverii- ‘

j inent could be assured of an adequate

supply cf war nitrates, ” he says.





Secretary Weeks comes back with





a reply that he has the “keenest in-

« terest in the development of air-fixa-





tion of nitrates in assistance of the

American farmer and in the adapta-

bility of'Muscle Shoals for this pur-

pose,” but he asserts that it is denied

advisers that Mr. Ford

could ever economically make nitrates

by the use of steam power.





Air nitrate plants at Oppau and

Merseberg, Germany, between May 1,

1922, and April 3, 1923, produced 220,-

000 tons of pure air-fixed nitrogen. In

the same time there were also pro-

duced in Germany 45,000 tons of cal-

cium cyamide, by the same process

as that now installed 'at Muscle

Shoals. These 265,000 tons of air-

fixed nitrOgen, used almost wholly for

agricultural purposes in competition

with Chilean nitrates, equals 1,400,000

tons. of nitrate of soda. If Germany

can produce nitrates in such quanti-

ties, the question arises, why cannot

the United States also produce air

nitrates by one process or another,

which gives the most efficient results.





A congressional investigation of the

sale of the Gorgas plant at Muscle

Shoals by Secret Weeks is smat-

ed by Senator ”i, of North Dakota,

who says it “looks like a feverish ef-





t fort to get this property into the





hands of the Alabama. Bower Comb

.HE members of the South Haven

Fruit Exchange learned this year

that thiilnlfig peaches not only im-

proved their gnality, but reduced the





’cost of harvesting. For instance, they





found that it takes seventy-six two-

inch peaches to weigh ten pounds,

while thirty-eight two: "and one-half-

inch peaches were required to make

the same weight. In other words, two

two-inch peaches would be equal to





vone two and one-half-inch peach, as





far as weight is concerned. .



If, by thinning, 'the grower can pro

duce good quality two and one-half-

inch peaches, he has only half the

number of peaches to harvest to get





the same amount of harvest.





STRAWBERRY QU ESTIONS.





 





As a subscriber of’your paper, II am





writing for advice as to our strawber- ‘





ry bed. It was mowed off when they

had finished bearing. It has growu

up nicely again. All the runners were

left to grow. Should some ofpthe

lants be thinned out, or all allowed

0 grow as they are? When straw-

berries are' mulched over winter,

should this be raked'off in the spring,

3r Jalllzggwed to rot on the bed?——Mrs.





It greatly depends upon what you

wish to do with your" strawberry bed

as to whether~ your runners should be

cut off or not;



Some growers use what is called

the wide matted row, which permits





the row to become about two feet in





width. But the more common practice

:Is to have the plants grow in a nar-

row-matted row, which is just a little

over a foot in width. When the run-

ners form, they should be placed in

the row within that width, and after

that space is well filled, the remain-

ing runners should be cut off. We do





‘ not believe it Would be to any advan-





tage to cut ofi runners at this time.

Perhaps it would be best to let your

plantation bear next spring as it is.





 





 





Strawberry plantations are usually I





mulched as soon as the ground he-

comes frozen. The common practice

is to put the mulch over the plants in





the fall and then rake _it in between '





the rows in the spring. If You allow a

thick mulch over the plants, the

,plants will become smothered; but

the thin mulch may be left, if desired.

The advantage of raking the mulch

into the space between the rows is

that it helps to keep the berries clean

and also helps ”to conserve moisture.

When the fruiting season is over,

the mulch is raked off and the rows

cut down to single plants. Some grow-

ers burn over their patches, but care

must be used .in doing so, as a quick

burning is necessary to prevent in-

Jury to the crowns of the plants.





MELON FERTILIZER TO BE TRIED

_ OUT.





 





T the request of the commercial



melon growers of the state, the

horticultural department at the college

will carry on some extensive melon

fertilizer . tests near Grand Rapids

next year. These tests will be under

the direction of Prof. E. G. Lewis.



Thus far, the practices of fertilizing

melons have been handed down from

generation to generation without any

specific reason for their use. A great

many growers have been using well-

rotted manure, but believe that fresh

manure is better. The use of com-

mercial fertilizers on melons has not

been tried out to any extent.



In connection with these tests an-

other experiment Will be tried to de-

termine methods of blight control.

Breeding tests will also be made to

prevent losses from cracking. It has

been feund that oval shaped melons

are more resistant to splitting than

the long flat-shaped ones.



All these experiments will give the

melon grower information which he

has been seeking for some time.

PULLING CONTESTS PROVE suc-

. CEVSSFUL.





 





HE draft horse pulling contest at



the Iowa State Fair proved to be

such a great attra\ction and of so great

scientific and educational interest

that the management of the fair de—

cided promptly to enlarge the classi-

fication for next year’s contest by ad-

ding a class of pure-bred draft stal-

lions. .



The conditions are that all stallions

competing must be free from heredi-

tary unsoundness {in conformity with

the state stallion registry law and

thereby meet the requirements for

public service. Weight limits for this

class have not beendefined, but auto-

matically lightweight stallions will

soon be eliminated as it was clearly





‘ demonstrated in this year’s contest





that weight is at prime factor in draft

horse power. ' '

ONE thing every farmer who keeps



a flock of sheep Should constantly



in mind is uniformity. Besides the



satisfaction of having the members of



his flock showing conformity to some

.13





 





.tember,





It is possible, through careful selec-

tion of breeding stock from year to





.year, to build up a uniform flock. This





is the time of year when farmers will

be selecting ewe lambs to replace the

worn-out or undesirable ewes in the

flock. It is, therefore, a very crucial

time in the year’s breeding work. The

individual qualities of the lambs

should be carefully studied. I do this

each year and seek to select the young

stock which conform most closely to

my ideal type.



To secure this uniformity, the own-

er should avoid the mixing of distinct

breeds. I believe thoroughly that the

flock owner should adhere closely to

one particular type. Cross-breeding, is

almost certain to upset this .idea of

uniformity and develop a flock having

no particular standard. Men particu—

lar about the sheep they wish to pur-

chase are not attracted by such breed-

Keeping the sun up

Artificial sunlight, the dream of the ages,'is in our time a

reality. Artificial sunlight owes its existence to the dis-

covery of Union Carbidefia discovery made over 31 years

ago. The wonder-working gas is today favorably affecting

the welfare of millions of people, bringing comfort and

happiness with economy and satisfaction.





Already more than 398,000 farms enjoy its blessings

without interruption day after day, year in and year out.

And every year the number of farms equipped with Union

Carbide Gas lighting and cooking plants increases over

the number added in any preceding year.



And it is all so simple and economical!



. A little Union Carbide, fed into common water auto-



_ matically by a simple apparatus, makes Union Carbide

Gas. Small iron pipe, concealed without disfiguring floor,

wall, or Ceiling, carries the gas wherever needed —to every

room for shedding its glorious light; to the kitchen, for

cooking, ironing, and water heating; to the barn, for

lighting the way wherever you work; to the henhouses,

where the sunlike qualities of Union Carbide Gaslight

unquestionably lead to much greater egg production

during the winter months at trifling cost.





We supply Union Carbide in generator sizes direct to

consumer at faCtory prices through 150 Union Carbide





Warehouses. There is one near you.

TH E WHITE GRUB.





 





I have quite a lot of trouble with

white grubs on a piece of land which I

bought lecently—L. H S.





Now. the white giub is the larvae of

the June beetle. The adult beetles

will appear every third year, the inter-

vening time being p&Ssed in the egg,

grub and pupal stage.



The egg is laid by preference in

grass sod where it remains for only a

short time, hatching o‘ut into a tiny

white grub which feeds on the roots of

vegetables for the remainder of its

first season.



i In the autumn this tiny white grub

;goes down quite deeply and makes a

{cell in which it goes through the win-

: te1.Tl1e following spring it comes up

and feeds on roots and may at this

timedo a great deal of damage. At

Ithe end of this, the second year, it

.goes down again, makes another cell

and passes through the winter once

more.



The third season it comes to the

surface, feeds for a short time and

descends again. changing first to a

pupae, then to an adult and remaining

over the third Winte1 as an adult. The

following spring it. comes out early in

the season in the form of a common

June beetle and flies nights and lays

the eggs for another crop of grubs.

Thus we see we have a flight of June

beetles every third year and the year





done by the grubs.





ll e muSt further 1emembei that the

eggs are laid by preference in glass

sod, therefore land which is ingrass

sod this year, if it happens 'to be a

June beetle year, should be regarded

with grave suspicion for root crops

next year. Such land should be put





into small grains if possible. because





small g1 ains have such enormous root

systems that they get by without s91-

ious losses.



The white grub loves corn, potatoes,

beets, strawberries, hops and root

crops in general bettel than anything

else. Therefore, it is expedient to so

arrange the rotation in the regions

where June beetles abound as to avoid

getting a. root crop in the sod land

the year after June beetles fly in that

particular region.



In different sections of the State we

have June beetles and. thefifnre white

TO GET A CATCH OF ALFALFA.





 





May I ask youI adviCe as to a seven-

acre field. I failed to get a catch of

seeding this yea1. I thought I Would

fa11~plow it and put to cats in spring,

andI onuld like to get a catch of al-

falfa, if possible. I never sowed an'V

alfalfa and this land is hilly and light,

or a sandy loam. What can I put on

this land to insure a catch of: alfalfa,





If good seed and proper methods are-_





used, you should be able to get a good





stand of alfalfa under the cendltions ‘





you describe. The Grimm'alfalfa is

most dependable but Michigangrown

seed or northern-grown common alfal-

fa is also excellent for Michigan con-

ditions. Twelve pounds pe1 acre is

ample if drilled, and fifteen pounds

if broadcasted.



If. possible the seed-bed should be

plowed this fall or very early next

‘spring, so as to give time for thorough

settling. The seed should be planted

on a firmly relied seed-bed, using not

more than one bushel of cats or barley

per acre as a. nurse crop. If possible,

planting should be made in April. The

alfalfa seed 'should be planted at a

depth of about one—half inch. Allow





the seed to fall ahead of the drill'and '

' that we she a square deli} and every shipment brings





do not let it go down through thedrlll

holes with the cats.



Culture for the inoculatiou of. alfalfa

may be secured from the. Department

of Bacteriology of the Michigan Agri-

cultural College, East Lansing. \fl‘he





price is twenty-five cents per bottle ,.





and one bottle contains sufficient ma-

terial to inoculate a bushel of ’seed.





Directions for application accompany





the material.



It is possible that your land may

need lime. I would suggest that you

send a sample of your soil to the Soils

Department, M. A. 0., East Lansing,

for lime determination.

A. WISE um - 1111111





In the state of' Ohio there lived a bunch of boys

who had this trapping business down to a science.

They each sent for separate price lists every year and

then sent all their furs to the house giving the best

quotations. After five Sears they decided they weren' t

so dreadfully wise because they didn't have enough

profits to more their efforts worth while.



One day they met Tom McMillan drivinga new

car to town. Tom said he made the price of his

swell outfit shipping pelts. He told how he not

wise to those funny prices and found it was better

:to deal with- Chas Porter booms: he always knew

in advance just what he was sure of wetting. He

said that Porter never offered 35 for a $3 pelt, but

he always paid- the $3 which he promised. and some-

times just a little better. Chas. Porter now has five



, wise trappers in that section instead of one.

WINNERS 'ARE GOOD PRODUC-

ERS.





 





YPE and production have a defi—

nite relationship in dairy cattle.

’ The grand champion Holstein cow at

l - ' the National Dairy Show this year is

the second highest senior four-year-

old milk producer in America. She

‘ ‘ is Tillam'ook Daisy Butter King_De

K01, who possesses a yearly record

of 32,488.4 pounds of milk containing

1,246.75 pounds of butter.

The second prize cow in the aged

' class holds a junior three-year—old

record of twenty—six pounds of butter

in one week, and over 10,000 pounds

of milk in 137 days. The third prize

winner in this class at eleven years

of age finished a yearly test with over

1,100 pounds of butter and 28,000

pounds of milk.

This correlation of type and produc~

“ , tiOn was found in most of the‘win—

x . ners of all the other classes in the

orderthey appeared in the ring. Nev—

er before at any dairy cattle exhibi-

tion has the intimate relationship of

form and function been so clearly ex-

emplified.





FEEDING THE DAIRY HEIFER.





 





AIRYMEN always have a few



heifers coming fresh in the fall,

and to feed them so they will develop

into profitable cows is a vital matter

as the future improvement of the herd

rests with the young stock.



Heifers that freshen on'pasture gen-

erally get along all right up to fresh-

ening time, but as soon as they fresh-

. en I like to have them where I can

. give them Special attentionf I take



the calf away just as soon as possible.



If the weather is cold I keep the heif-



er in the stable for a few days.



I practice feeding heifers that are



about to freshen, a light grain ration



7 a/few weeks before freshening. This



encourages them to 'come to the sta-



ble with the herd. They also become



accustomed to eating green fodder

along with the herd.





' ‘f . A newly ”freshened. heifer is very



' likely to eat heartily of all kinds of



. ; food, especially grain, that is put be-



' fore her, and right here is where the



danger lies. The feeder must.exer—



cise good judgment right from the

start. AI want to knowjust how much

grain I am feeding in a ration. Over-



- feeding is dangerous.



_ Variety in the, ration is very essen-

tial in feeding a. newly freshened heif-

er. .Her appetite may be good for a

few days following freshening, but is

very easily upset. 'I like" to add a lit-



. tle more bran to the ration than I do



,v’forolder cows. 1' have always had



. good success in compounding a ration



‘ for "feeding newly-freshened heifers,



_' from cats, barleyf‘a‘nd corn ground

pays to buy roughage in order to fur-



~nishthis variety. Such roughages as

corn silage, bean pods, clover and al-

falfa hay, dry corn stover and oat and

pea hay are excellent.



I find it a wise plan to make the ra-

tion fora newly freshened heifer as

palatable as possible. It is advisable

to encourage her to eat well, as she

is shouldering a double burden. She

must sustain her own physical vigor,

continue to develop herself and give

a good flow of milk. To do her best

and her duty to herself, she must have

the best feed and care—Leo C. Rey:

NMENT WHITEWASH

Sam keeps his lighthouse and!

liberal use of whitewash. 5



Many Michigan farmers who have?





HOW GOVER





 





 





been looking for a geod whitewash

will be interested to know how Uncle

Sam keeps his property looking so}

white. His whitewash formula is prob-.

ably one of the best. It is much Whit~l

~ er than most mixtures and is almost}

as serviceable as paint for wood, bricki

and stone. A pint of this wash when‘

applied properly will cover about ten

square feet of surface. Here is \the

formula:



“Slake half a bushel of unslaked

lime with boiling water, cover duringi

process to keep in steam, strain the}

liquid through a fine sieve or strainerfl

and add to it seven pounds of salt}?

previously dissolved in warm water..i

three pounds of ground rice boiled to:

a thin paste and stirred in while hot,:

half a pound of Spanish whiting, and;

one pound of clear glue, previously:

then hanging over a slow fire in a «-





small-pot hung in a larger one filled

with water. Add five gallons of hot

water to the mixture, stir well, and

let it stand for a few days, covered

from dirt. It should be applied hot,





for which purpose it can be kept in a ‘





kettle over an oven or a portable fur-

nace.”



If color other than pure white is de-

sired a number of very different

shades can be had by making the fol-

lowing mixtures: For cream color add

yellow. ochre; a pearl or lead shade

may be obtained by ‘adding lamp

black orJour pounds of umber to one

pound of Indian Red or one pound of

common lamp black; common stone

color calls for a proportionate four

pounds of raw umber and two pounds

of lamp black.





SAVING THE RAINY DAY.





 





O the farmer and his helpers who

wishes to make the best possible





use of What otherwise might be a pe~ ‘





riod of enforced idleness during in-



clement- weather, I would suggest the



installation of labor-saving grain



chutes. '



I have been in barns Where the hors-



es were fed in the basement, also the



cattle, the granary directly overhead.



Day after day the farmer toils up and



.down the stairs carrying grain and

sometimes hay for feeding his animals.

. ‘ This is‘ certainly a useless expendi-

ture of motion or human enei‘gy. But

there is, too, a'quarterl‘of an hour or

more wasted each day that might be

more profitably expended. The half

of a rainy day is ample time in which

to construct a conveyor spout from

the grain bins above; to the feeding

’alley, which would have effectively

taken. up this lost motion—G. E'veritt.

KEEPING books of my farm busi-

ness has given me an insight into

farm managment which I did not have

before. It helps me to work with

:more accuracy. I now know to the

cent my income and my expnditures.

Not only do we have a detailed record

of financial transactions but we also

[keep tab on live stock production and

i’on the yields of crops. Frequently,

;too, we go to the books to compare

present conditions, or markets with

gthose of past years—Otto Ahrens.

{ NECESSARY TO IMPROVE THE

l FARM BUSINESS.



| .





 





' FARM cannot be built up and

I made to pay increasing profits

without some form of accounts. I\wish

to know whether this or that crop, or

this or that side-line, is a paying prop-

osition. I can determine this better

when I keep a set of books. Through

these records I can retain the paying

things and improve or eliminate the

unprofitable lines and, thereby, grad-

ually build up a more successful farm-

ing business.——J. O. Roberts.





HELPS TO KEEP DOWN PRODUC-

TION COSTS.





“7 HILE we may not be able to fix



prices on our products, we do

have some 'voice in determining the

cost of production. If we are going

to reduce this cost then we must first

know what the costs are. This we

can do through the keeping of books.

‘ WATCHES THE cows'ov-ER HIS

BOOKS.





 





WE have a number of good cows.



They are “good” because we

have been able to know those we

should keep and those we should send

to the butcher. Had I depended upon

my judgment without any definite

knowledge and without any record, I

feel certain I could not have. built up

so good a herd. The records show'the

amount I have expended for the feed

of the different animals, and the

amount they have produced. I not

only have this definite information

over the period of a week, but for the

whole year. If a cow shows a good

margin of profit at the end of the year

then I usually hang onto her. Other-

wise, she goes. ,But to have the best

judgment in the matter you must

keep books—H. Dowling.





MAKES POSSIBLE A FARM

ROUND-UP.





 





N addition to my regular'accounts



devote two pages to a classification

of accounts for the year. From these

pages [ am able‘to see what we have

expended for various lines of articles,

and What we have received from the

different sources of income. A glance

tells me what I have expended for

benevolences, books and periodicals,

groceries, clothes, fuel, drugs, trave1«

ing, taxes, labor, seed, etc., while it

also gives me the moneys received

from my beets, beans, cows, sheep,

hogs, poultry, etc. In other words, I

can have a farm round-up at/the end

of the year wherevI can review my

whole business. This I do on these

two pages of my records—L. Soldan.

.' . beautiful lakes andyhunted in our

‘ forests, old Chief Waubansee wasruler

of a tribe inhabiting one of the many

:beautiful lake regions of what is now

. the state of Michigan. Many years

.» he had been his people’s Chieftain and

ruled them in love and kindness.



The women planted the maize and

tended it also, they skinned the ani-

mals which were brought to the wig-

wams by the hunters—deer, moose,

bear; otter, etc. They would then'tan

the- hides. and smoke and dry the

meat, to be eaten with parched corn,

around the Wigwam fires.



At last the palefaces began to locate

their trading-posts along the frontier

and were given a friendly welcome by

Waubansee and his braves. The red

men were glad to bring their packs

of peltry to the white man’s store-

house and receive in return bright





coins of gold and silver or gay strips





of calico and beads of the white man’s

-making. Sad to say, large quantities

,of the white man’s fire-water soon

’ came to be in popular demand by the

young braves who found in it a worse

enemy than the fierce wolf or the

savage tribes of their own race.



The woods furnished much food in

the way of meat and game, roots and

berries; also, the plots of maize gave

many measures of corn to put away

for winter. However, the hungry fire

would sometimes sweep over their

hunting grounds, or the maize would

fail. Then would come a year of famw

ine when it would fare hard with

Waubansee's people till the next plen-

tiful season.



To lighten the effects of such a cal»

amity, Chief Waubansee had for many

years followed a custom kept by some

'of the eastern tribes, which was to

hold at the time of the harvest moon

3. great feast of thanksgiving. At this

time, all the braves ~who had been suc-

cessful in the hunt and received much

gold at the tradingpost for their

hides, brought an offering to their

chief who put it in a common treasury

to be used in time of famine or dis-

tress. Offerings also of corn and dried

berries and roots were brought, which

were apportioned to the old men and

women, and to travelers who might

wander without food in the cold and

cheerless winter.



As the years passed on, so many

coins were brought and put into the

old chief’s keeping that he took a

large iron pot and put away in it all

the gold that was collected each year.

Then the wise old Waubansee hid the

pot so cleverly that no one but him-

self could ever find it.



At last the chief grew older and

more and more his thoughts wander-

ed to the Happy Hunting Ground

where ‘his spirit would roam before

many winters more had cast their

snows. A splendid young brave, one

of his own sons, would take his place

as Chieftain of the tribe and Wauban-

see was happy till he bethought him-

self of the treasure. If the Great

Spirit suddenly called him, none in

the tribe could find the treasure

should they need it. So he called

Chitani, who was to succeed him as

chief,and solemnly entrusted to him

the knowledge of the treasure’s hid-

ing place.



The seasons came and went and the

time for the great feast arrived. Many

furs had been bartered this year and

when Chitani went with the old chief

to deposit the addition to their store

they carried a goodly offering. The

glittering hoard dazzled the young

Chitani’s eyes and the vision of it re-

mained in his mind for many moons.



Time passed and the ydung brave

and his companions came more and

more to trade their hides for fire-wa-





and found a still more secret placet‘o

bury it deep from sight, and marked

the spot, as only an Indian can._



. Then he called Chitani and the oth-

er braves about him in council_‘and

told them of the sadness of his heart.

“The white man brings us much

good,” said he, “but also much evil.

The white man’s fire-water has turned

my young braves into slinking coyotes

and robbed them of their' skill and

cunning. Go now and prove to me

that you can be worthy once more of

the honor of the tribe. Join the hunt

ter and cheap trumpery from the trad-

ing‘post. Instead of joining the hunt-—

ing parties, they spent much time in

wild revelry and drinking.



At last, Chitani forgot the honor of

a chieftain’s son and went to the hid-

ing place of the treasure ,and. took

from the pot of gold many‘coins. Now

he and his followers among the young

braves did not hunt the deer and bear

nor trap the mink and otter in the

streams, but took their stolen gold to

the trading—post and returned to the

tribe, sad wrecks of the braves they

should have been.





Now, Waubansee was not blind if

he was old, and when be perceived

the wild and reckless revelings of his

young braves and saw they brought

no game to the wigwams he went to”

the secret place of the treasure and

behold! much gold was gone!



“Ah,” said the old chief to himself,

“sad indeed, is the heart inf Wauban-

see, for his own son, the “descendant

of many chiefs, has lost the strength

of his soul and has stolen from the

treasury of his tribe to buy the white

man’s fire- water and the White man’s

foolish clothing. The Great Spirit is

offended! I must remove my trust

from the false Chitani and see if he

will again return to the ways of his

fathers.”



So old Waubansee at great trouble

to himself removed the pot of money





and bring your offerings against the

great Feast.” ,



Accordingly, they departed and

thereafter Chitani .and his friends

were the leaders of the tribe in brav-

ery and cleverness of hand and mind.



This pleased Waubansee greatly

out he could not bring himself to tell

his son the secret of the treasure

again.



Another feast—time was approaching.

Winter was not far off and 'the old

Chieftain felt the weight of his years

upon him. «'So he called to his wig-

wam Tulamasee, the young princess

of the tribe, and appointed her to go

with him to put away the offerings

after the Feast. Now,,Tulamasee was

a fair and gentle maiden, industrious

and happy. She learned from .the old-

er women, and herself taught the

younger maidens to weave the blank

ets and baskets and to make mocca-

sins; aiso, in every task she excelled

the quickest of them. Tulamasee rode

as fieetly as a. deer on her pony and

paddled her canoe with the skill of a

young brave.





It made this young princess very

happy to receive the great trust of

the chief, her father, and she gladly

promised never to tell the hiding





’place of the gold till her own days





should draw near their end.

For a time all was well but at last

Tulamasee and her women began to





 





[the cheap inery and-bright,-acaiico of,

, the pale faces.





The sister walked in

her brother’s footsteps and once. more

the gold Was fast] disappearing from

its hiding, Again the suspicions 0f





the watchful chief were aroused and7

his investigations confirmed his worst,





fears. Again the maiden was called

to the Wigwam of the chief who said

/to her: “Maiden, thy treachery is re-

vealed! For the second time, my own





flesh has betrayed the honor of our '





tribe. Many moons I have waited to

leave this secret with a faithful one,

but you are all following the foolish-

ness of the palefaces. Very well, let

them' give you corn and meat when

the season’s work is gone for naught.

For myself, I shall soon go hence and

will carry my secret with me._ Go!

and renew thy skill and that of the

women of the tribe.”





Stung by the chief’s rebuke and the

loss of'her trust, she went forth and

told all the women, and following the

lead of the princess they returned

slowly to their former industrious

ways.



Once more, and for the last time,

Waubansee must hide the golden

treasure and for many days he roam-

ed the forest'seeking’ for it a place of

safety. At last he succeeded and re-

turned to his ‘wigwam.





Only a few more moons had passed

till Waubansee was laid to rest with

great ceremony after the Indian fash-

ion, his beads and 'tomahawk and ar-

rows beside him, and Chitani was

made chief of the tribe.



Long and often was search made

for the lost treasure, but Waubansee

had proved his cleverness and it was

never found.



A few years after Chitani became

chief all the lands of the tribe were

sold to the Great Father at Washing-

ton. Some of the tribe wandered to





far northern tribes and others remain- ‘





ed on the reservations, but wherever

a descendant of the old chief’s people

is found he will tell you this story of

VVaubansee’s gold.



In the spring of 1880, a little county

paper, printed in. one of Michigan’s

southern towns, published the follow-

ing local item:



“Our friend, Milton Wordman, over

in Indian Ridge township, discovered

a buried treasure last week. While

plowing in a newly cleared field on

his homestead be overturned a hollow

stump, beneath the roots of which

was’an old rusty kettle filled- with





'coins; mostly gold, and several quarts





of Indian heads and arrow points.

This represents quite a fortune to

Milton as he has had several reverses

since taking up his homstead. The

contents of the kettle as relics alone

are worth a large sum. ”'





 





Oscar Putnam has just" received a

mail order tombstone catalogue. He

keeps it out in the garage hanging

beside the oil barrel. Percy Putnam

has already taken the hint. He now





slows down when they come to soft

gravel and hasn’t beaten an interur-

ban to the crossing in more than two

months.——Sunshine Hollow.

Why live, elastic rubber gives

" U. S.” Boots longer wear





Cut a strip of rubber half an inch wide

from a “U.S.” Boot——-and you’d find

it would stretch five times its length

without breaking.





Into U.S. Boots is put rubber

as live as an elastic band.





Here’s why this rubber

means longer wear.





 

 

   

   





wrinkle. Thousands of times each day

-the same strains in the same spots.





   

 





It’s these strains that make ordinary

rubber crack and break.





The live, tough rubber of U.S. Boots has the

flexibility to stand constant bending. It stays

strong and pliable——resists strain and prevents

breaking.





 

 





Every step you take,

your boots bend and





   

 

 

 

 

 

 





Anchored in this solid rubber is layer on layer

of tough fabric reinforcements. In the places

where the hard strains come there are from 7 to

11 separate plies of rubber and fabric in U.S.

Boots.





Reinforcements that give rugged strength—

rubber that stays tough and resisting—these

are the reasons why U.S. Boots mean longer

wear and better service. If you’re not wearing

U.S. now—ask for a pair next time. Get

the longest wear a boot can give you.

Made with the same live rubber





The “U.S.” Walrus—the famous all-rubber

overshoe—is made with the same live,

elastic.rubber that gees into the boot. It’s

reinforced, too, by layer on layer of fabric

and rubber where the strains come.



Out to the barnyard a dozen times a day—

kicked on and off—the U.S. Walrus is built

to stand the hardest wear you give it.





You’ll find every type of footwear in the big

U.S. line—the lace Bootee, a rubber work-

It is very suggestive, all this. The

the fundamental idea of the message

of the greatest of the prophets of the

Old Testament was to the effect that

'Israel had been blest that it might be

a blessing. The pictures of the Suf-

fering Servant in the last chapters of

Isaiah are nothing short of amazing.

Take one or two

short extracts: “I gave my back. to

the smiters, my cheeks to them that

plucked off the hair; I hid not my

therefore have I set my face like a

whom men hide their face he was

despised, and we esteemed him not.”





 





OW, who was this Suffering Seri



vant and what was he suffering

for? It is believed by many that it re-

fers to the nation'of Israel, that had en~

dured .exile and been deprived of its

native land, to which only small num-

bers ever‘ came back. Others hold

that it can apply only ‘to the suffering

Christ, who came long after. At any

rate, the meaning is clear—the suffer-

ing is in behalf of others. The nation

or the individual does not live for

self, but for those less happily situat-

ed. In other words, it has a mission-

ary meaning. If you cut out all the

passages that have a missionary

meaning, in the Bible, you will have

a very mutilated volume left.



And does not this idea carry out

into ‘all departments of life‘.L To be

missionary means to share one’s good

with others. A local grange society

is strong and active. The meetings

are well attended, the programs in-

teresting. There is no trouble about

getting new members, because people

want to join. Over in the next town-

ship .the land is light, the farms are

less prosperous, and are farther-apart.

They.have a grange there also, but it

is not burdened with numbers, over-

who have truth impart to those who

have it not.





HE reason why Christianity has



been such a missionary religion

is because it has life and vigor. When

the impulse to carry it to others dies

down, the value of the thing itself‘

dies down. Thatisfundamental. There

are a few Christian sects in Asia Min-

or, like the Nestorians, that are very

ancient. Probably most of us never

heard of them. But they are there,

with .members and churches. But

they enjoy little life and have for cen-

turies not made themselves felt out—

side of narrow bounds. If a religion

is worth having, it is worth spreading.

If it saves me, it can save you. If it

isn’t worth propagating, it isn’t worth

preserving.



The story .of Jonah is part of to-

day’s lesson. The little book of Jonah

has had a hard'time of it. It has been

hurled back and forth between liber-

als and conservatives until one won-

ders whether much is left of Jonah.

Some declare that if the big fish did

not swallow him, the whole Christian

religion collapses, while others with

equal emphasis say that if he was

swallowed they are done with the

Bible. When two puppies pull a dress

off the clothesline, and one pulls one

way and one the other, the dress is

hard ‘put to it. Thus Jonah has been

seesawed back and forth. But he is

brighter and more influential than

ever. The fact is, that the fish story

in Jonah is the least part of the book.

Whatever one may believe of that,

the big item is the truth that is pre-

sented.





ONAH preaches to the people of



Ninevah, who are heathen. That

is, they are not Jews. They repent.

God is merciful and forgives them,

and declares he will not destroy their

city. But Jonah does not like that.

He is a prophet and he wants his

prophecies to come true. He had

prophesied that Ninevah would be

overthrown, and if his reputation is

not to be ruined, that is what must

happen. When it does not take place,

and God is filled with compassion to-

ward the vast city (probably over a

million) Jonah is incensed. ‘His own

reputation is of more consequence

than a few tens of thousands of peor

ple. -The gourd grows up over Jon-

ah’s resting place, but is cut off by a

worm, and dies. Jonah feels pity for

the withered gourd, so full of life one

day, dead the next. And God asks if





Jonah feels so badly about the gourd,

whether He ought not to have pity on '





the vast numbers of poor and ignorant

of the great city. In other words,





people ought— to be worth as much as‘

And add to this the fact that.

heathen, not with the chosen people.

It was a new teaching, a new outlook.

Tiny Jonah is vast in its sweep of

interest. The chosen people are all

those who are hungry for God.



The sun fills the sky. The Creator

did not place an orb in the heavens





that one would feel like apologizing





for. The sun is so big that he over-

Old-Fashioned, Mari-Arranged Kztcflem Dad to T ante tfle Pleasure Out of Homework





HE average housewife wastes a



vast amount of time, strength



' and energy in useless steps. If

Mrs. Smith were to say to Mr. Smith,

“I throw away three hundred dollars

a year,” or, “I waste a pound of sugar

each week,” he would immediately in-

quire into the, reason and find a rem-

edy for this waste. But, if she were

to say, “I walked a mile farther in

doing my kitchen work today‘ than

was necessary,” he would undoubtedly

pay little or no attention. Needless

to say, the waste of strength and en-

ergy of the home-maker is more ex-





travagant and of much more serious-





consequences than is the waste of

food materials.



It is quite true that the kitchen of

the new modern home is conveniently

arranged and equipped. But the old-

fashioned kitchen in the homes built

a generation or more ago still are do—

ing service as a housewife’s work-

shop. In these kitchens, most of them

man—planned, the housewife takes

countless extra steps in doing her

daily work.



In one such kitchen as this, Mrs. B.

F. said she saved five hundred steps

in preparing the daily meals, by hav-

ing her range moved to the opposite

side of her big kitchen. Mrs. O. M.

figured she saved herself a half-mile

a week bylhaving the passage-way to

her cellar open from her kitchen, in-

stead 0f outside of the house: In the

case of Mrs. E. G. M., she claims she

spends three—quarters of a day each





,week carrying in water and carrying





out the waste, because she does not

have running water in her kitchen.

It is essential that kitchen furnish-

ings be arranged in the order used.

Materials from the refrigerator, cup-

board or basement are brought first to

the sink for cleaning, and then to the

stove to be cooked. From the stove

they are dished up and taken to the





,dining-room for serving. Following





the general rule of things, why not

work from the left to the right, direct

from storage place to serving? Mate—

rials and furniture for cleaning and

storing away food should be arranged

after this manner, always with the

step-saving in mind.



Many kitchen conveniences save

steps as well as labor. The simple

home-made kitchen cabinet illustrated

here will be found to answer the pur-

pose well if a real commercial one

cannot be afforded. Any Handy Andy

can make it. All the tools needed are

a square, a saw, a hammer and a few

nails. The cabinet may be made any

dimension desired. A good size for

the table top is 48—32 inches, with a

height suitableto the worker. The

CRANBERRIES ARE RIPE.





 





0U have often been tempted to

those beautifully colored cranber-

ries in the grocery. And where is the

youngster that passes the cranberry

barrel but what wants a sample if the

“cover is not on tight.” These berries

are valuable in the diet,- because they

contain relatively large amounts of

mineral matter, especially iron, calci-

um and phosphorous.

Try these recipes now that the ber—

ry is in season.

CRICKETS LIKECLACE CURTAINS

FOR FOOD.





 





THE cricket, like the moth, delights

in a living which consists of

choice articles of clothing. Rare lac-

es or curtains are.somc of the favor:





ites on the cricket's menu. .

R. L. Webster, entoxyggist at the





' North Dakota Agric tural College,





considers the cricket a nuisance and



worse. Especially when it brings its



noise and appetite inside the house.

nuisance when it enters h‘Ouses in the {

fall and takes to feeding on articles":





able to chirp, which is done by the

rapid movement ‘* of the wings that

brings together two contrivances

known as a ‘file and scraper’. ” '



Crickets can be poisoned by placing

cut pieces of raw' potatoes or carrots,

which have previously been dusted

with Paris green or white arsenic, in

those locations in the house most fre-'

quented by the insects. They are at-

tracted to the cut pieces and poisoned?

in this manner. Caution, however,

must be used in exposing the poisdn-

uses CBVERED MILK PAILS.





 





HE other day “my better half”

came home from town with the

much needed new addition to, our farm

equipment in the form of some new





' and semi- ”doubles





milk pails. At our place it happens

to be customary for the women folks

to take care of the milking utensils,

and so I kicked vigorously when I

saw that they were of the covered

sort.



My first thought was of how hard

they would be to wash. But with them

he had purchased a good dairy brush,

and I find they really are not any

harder to keep clean than the open

kind.



They are much more sanitary than

the open pails.- I find there is not

nearly as much dirt and other foreign

materials in the milk and would not

use the open pails again—Mrs. J. C.





 





MARTHA WASHINGTON GERAN-

IUMS.





I NEVER grew specimen plants'that'





were more satisfactory than the

Martha Washington-geraniums. They

do not bloom continuously like the or-

dinary geraniums, but for two or three

months in spring they are a sight to

make up for all the months without

blooms. Cuttings should be rootedin

the fall and kept growing Without

check until

plants will be ready for Easter. I

have had good success with them by

keeping over the 'old plants set out-

side until fall and then car‘efully'lifted

and cut back and grown into immense

plants by blooming time. The foliage

is not exceptionally pretty but is a

dark green and does not detract from

any collection. The flowers are excep-

tionally fine and they come in singles

I like the pure

them in all shades from light pink to

Briefly, here are only a few things

to do on “All Spirits Night.”



Three Saucers:-———A popular way of

deciding the fatal question is to ar-

one place clear water, in another col-’

into the fire, one representing herself,

the other two her favorite friends.

heat will prove unfaithful, the two

staying together indicating happiness.

LETTING THE CHlLDRE-N HELP. .





 





HERE was a generous response to



the contest this week, “Letting

The Children Help." .Many good sug-

gestions in child triining were receiv-

ed. But.because of a lack of space I

can only publish the one prize winner

this week. The others will appear

later. '



The concensus of opinion was that

the child should be taught to do light

work willingly without having to be

paid for it. He should, however, be

taught the value of money and have

a small amount for his very own.



The second, third, fourth and fifth

prizes were won by Mrs‘ J. W. C., of;

Hastings, Michigan; Mrs. B. S., ofi

Ada, Michigan; Mrs. C. W., Romulus?

Michigan; Mrs. C. S., of‘ Stevenson,

Michigan, respectively.

‘DUR LETTER BOX





 





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I am ten years old and we live on a

farm of ten acres. We raise celery,

lettuce and celery cabbage, and we are



.shipping over 100 boxes every day,

and we are quite busy with it, too.



I am home with my mother and

father tonight, and I didn’t have noth-

ing. to do and my mother says I ought

to write a letter to Uncle Frank and

see if I can get a Merry Circle button.

1 hope 1 get one, Uncle Frank.~Your

nephew, John Holtkop, R. 5, Hudson-

I am glad you followed your moth-

er’s suggestion and I hope you will

enjoy having done so.





 





» ear Uncle Frank:



Will you please let me join the

Merry Circle? I wish I could be one

of the Merry Circle girls.



I am thirteen years old and am in

the seventh grade. My last exams.

marks are: Spelling, 100; arithmetic,

97; geography, 97; language, 90; his-

tory, 90; physiology, 95. I ranked

first in school for three years. Can

anyone beat it? '



Well, now, I must close. With best

wishes to you and all the Merry Circ—

lers.—From your niece, Amelia Matt-

son, Phoenix, Mich. -



I, too, am anxious to know if any-

one can beat your record. Hope you

will take an active interest in the‘M.

Dear Uncle Frank:



How is everyone? Oh, Uncle Frank,

thank you so much for my 'card and

pin, which I received aweek or two

ago. I have the card locked up safe

and I wear my pin every day.



Sorry to say, I have changed my

address. Instead of Sault Ste Marie,

it is now Muskegon Heights, 713 Hoyt

Street. ,



I wrote to the Letter Box once be-

fore I-left the "Soo, but I don’t think

it was printed. However, I hope this

one will be. ‘





Cousins, won’t you please write'to

me? You know, your letters will help

to cure the “blues,” because I’m not -

very well acquainted here yet. Fran- .

cis Littlefield, will you. please write .

again? I have lost your address. ,



With best wishes to .Uncle Fran-k;





 





from experience: But what’s the use

of having the blues. It’s a bad habit

which should be broken.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Well, how are you and your friend,

Mr. Waste Basket? I suppose Mr. W.

B. gets enough to eat, don’t he?



We made $71.97 off of .one acre of

pickles. Each of us got $11.98 out

of it. We put it in the bank, that is

a good place, isn’t it? - .



It would be nice for the Merry Cir-

to some poor children who are starv—’

Well, here is a nice lunch for the

need of collective .bai-gaining'on the

part of the producer. ‘ . j ~

. Detroit’s 'per capita consumption. of

eightrtenths of a. pint of milk per day

should be increased. v The more milk

consumed, the, better it is for the in-

dustry. The agitation which is de-

Stroying confidence in dealers is ma-

terially cutting down consumption, he

declared. . .



When Detroit's ‘price is too far out



of line with "the Condensary price, it

is bad for business. To make a fair

price, both'buyer and seller must have

.the same information on supply and

demand. ,

.It is practically impossible to de“

termine the_cost of producing milk,

and, Professor Hornet believes that

little value would result if this could

be done. Value does not depend upon

the cost of production. It does depend

upon what an article will bring; in

other words, upon the demand. Ad-

vertising would increase the demand

for milk. Confidence in the fairness

of the price established would also

encourage consumption. The food val-

ue of milk is sufficiently great to war-

rant the expenditure of a reasouable_

amount in energy and funds to bring

this fOOd value to the attention of the

public. Nowhere can the consumer

of food get more for his money.



To build up confidence and to sta-

bilize the market, Professor Horner

suggested that a committee of three

representing the public, distributors

and producers, analyze the whole

dairy situation concerning production

and consumption in and around De—

troit for the purpose of supplying

worth-while facts to combat the ig-

norance and vicious statements Which‘

have been made regarding the distri-

bution of milk.





Delegates Meet Professor Reed.



Professor Reed, head of the Dairy

Department of the M. A. C., was. next

called to the platform. He portrayed

work being done at the college which

has a bearing upon milk production,

and told how difficult it was to get the

results of their work before the .men

who need it. His appeal led to a

unanimous vote on the proposition of

accepting an invitation'for dairymen

to meet at the college some time next

summer and carefully go over this

material first-handed. '



Professor Reed held that so far as

organization is concerned, Michigan is

abreast 013 any state in the Union.- He

held further that We are fortunately

situated so far as ‘locality, climatic

conditions, and dairy breed resources

are concerned, to furnish a large vol-

ume of dairy stock to eastern and,

southern herds.





Resolutions.



The delegates present, after careful

consideration, voted confidence in the

program of the officers of the associ—

ation through the adoption of the fol-

lowing resolutions:





1. We hereby reassert our utmost

confidence in the purposes of the

Michigan Milk Producers’ Association

and in all cooperative farm organiza-

tions which look to the centralization

of the sales of farm commodities...





2. We. have passed through a. period

of Several months. operating under a

base plan'known as the “Philadelphia

Plan.” Conditions have developed in

the execution of the base plan which

have made it possible to follow some

of its ultimate conclusions at the pres—

ent time. We, however, believe that

the “base plan" is economically and

fundamentally sound and advocate the

enforcement of the plan as a whole as

soon. as conditions will permit.



3. In Julie in 1923, “delegates duly

assmbled’ approved a new contract to .

be! entered'into betWeen the producer

and the association. The purpose of

the contract being to strengthen'.tbe

selll force. of the Committee by giv-‘

ing ,e association . full“ power as

fect such a plan, but we respectfully . .

urge that the board of directorsfmake

'a. thorough study of this prOblem and

report their findings; at a later meet-

ng, ‘ . ‘ , y p - 1 .,



5. In the area'ia which the associa’

tion is operating, the production of

milk greatly exceeds the normal con-

sumption. Then the milk lying in the

natural shed of consumption‘is thrown

into competition with the, milk which

should be sold at manufacturers’ pric-

es, or for condensary purposes. In

other words, the. producers are con-

tinually confronted with a surplus:

which tends. to greatly reduce the

price as a whole. The problem is to

fairly and evenly distribute this sur-

plus so a greater burden isnot thrown

on one individual or locality than an-

other. ' ,. . - ,



The pooling plan has been discuss-

edgenerally, and in View of the inter-

est shown and believing that this plan

may intimately aid in solving the sur-

plus problem, we hereby request that

the board of directors make a. thor-

ough study of the pooling plan and re-

port their findings and recommenda-

tions at a. later meeting.



6. We heartily endorse the actions

of the association in extending the

scope of the organizations to Other cit-

ies in Michigan, and recommend the

study of a plan looking to representa— “ ‘

tion by additional directors from the ‘

areas added, to the general board.





In conclusion, we urge on the part

of the members the fullest coopera-

tion and confidence in the association

to the end that the industry maybring

to the producer a stable market and a.

resonable return for his product.





Under the election of, directors, M.

L. Noon, of Jackson, and L. W. Har-

wood, of Adrian, were, re-elected for

another term. C. R. Watson, of Imlay '

City, and W. J.. Thomas, of- Cannons-

burg, were elected to snaceed Mr.

Campbell, deceased, and W. ‘J. Ber-

nard, of Paw Paw. Elmer Powers, of





Flint, was chosen to fill the unex-

pired term of the late A. M. Eckles,

of Plymouth. '

MAINTAINING FALL MILK

DUCTION.

THERE is a break in milk produc-

tion in many herds of dairy. cows

which are kept until late in the fall

just after the first hard freeze or '

heavy frost that kills downthe pas-

ture. This break in productidn may

be considerable or very small, depend-f

ing on the method of caring for the

cows. ,



I believe it pays to begin the feed-

ing of grain long before the pastures

are killed, or even set back by early

frosts. Pastures do not seem as nu-

tritious in the fall as they afevin the

summer, and many of the fall pas-

tures are the young clovers that have

come on in. the small grain stubble

which arekilled or bitten'by' the frost

earlier than blue grass would be.





The cow that has no grain will ve

an abrupt change in her ration, from

green grass to dry feeds, and it, is nOt‘

profitable to make such abrupt chang-

es in feeding, also therecannot help

but be a drop in her milk flow. Besides

a good dairy cow should not have to i _ V

rustle too‘ strenuously for 'her feed.

especially, when it is not so nutritious

as it ought to be: , . i



A little grain given early in‘the'fail »

and increased in quantity each week

as the time approaches for hard freez—

ing will not only ’help to" maintainand

increase the milk flow” up to' the'peé

VAUGHAN'S SEED FARM SALE.





HE sale of Poland China hogs at

the Vaughan Seed Farm could

hardly be considered an outstanding

success. This is no discredit to eith-

er the hogs or the owners. A very

useful lot of hogs was ready for the

appraisal of the crowd, which was

conspicuous by its absence.



It was this good firm’s first offering

and perfect harvest weather combined

with lots of crops to harvest, had a

strong influence in keeping would-be

buyers at home in the corn and beans

and beets. The sale was conducted

in a manner above reproach on the

part of all concerned, and most of the

animals listed found new homes at

prices littleabove the market, plus

sale costs. The owners are too wise

to be discouraged by a poor start.

however, and are preparing another

draft from their good herd for a bred

sow sale this winter—Pope.





HOLSTEINS AUCTIONED AT

HE offerings at the tenth annual



sale of the Howell Sales Company

at Howell last week consisted of

eighty head, mostly cows and young

stock, soon to become fresh. Only a

few bulls were included. These bulls

averaged around $160, the highest be-

ing Musolff Brothers’ fine six-months-

old calf out of King One Champion,

which went 'to E. Collier, of Fowler-

ville, for $210. Young female stock

averaged around. the $130mark’ with

cows, of three years and over holding

The sale

was topped by,Houwtje Vale Posch, a

seven-year-old cow consigned by Wm.

l. Griffen, of Howell. Floyd Smith, of

Fowlerville, paid $475 for her. A

daughter of this cow went' to Wm

Lee for $350. The bidding was ap-

preciably more animated when offer-

ings of individual merit, backed by

superior breeding, came into the ring.

WHEAT





The undertone in the wheat market

has weakened and prices have lost all

the advance of the past three weeks.

Primary receipts for several weeks

have been running below normal for

this time of year but the visible sup—

ply was extremely heavy a month ago

and small additions to it have been

made since that time. Flour mills are

buying quietly and the amount of

wheat ground since July 1 is slightly

smaller than a year ago but the ap-

parent disappearance of wheat in the

form of flour has gained about ten per

cent over the same period of 1922.

Exports are at a sufficient rate to

exhaust our surplus if continued to

the end of the year.





CORN





Cash corn prices remain high al-

though the receipts have begun to in-

crease and feeding demand is less

keen, so that the market is showing

some weakness along with wheat. An

early movement of corn is expected.

Wet weather is delaying corn harvest.

Feeders will economize in the use of

corn as feeding ratios are unfavorable

in many cases.





OATS





Oats prices are not especially

strong in spite of the discount below

corn. Primary receipts are holding up

better than usual and the visible sup-

ply is gaining although it is only half

the size of last year and about one-

fourth that of two years ago.

of medicine, yet is having a great deal

of attention because of what he has

to say about getting well of disease.

He has written a book which is en-

joying a wide sale in this country,

partly because it is very well adver-

tised, and, of course, we know that it

does pay to advertise, no matter

whether it is pure-bred chickens or a

book on getting well. The advertise-

ments say that his plan has helped to

greater health, happiness and success,

“countless thousands, from the rheu-

matic octogenarian to ailing children.”

It is frankly admitted that the plan is

one of auto-suggestion, and it is claim-

ed that in. all Europe and much of

America, Dr. Coue’s formula is on

every tongue. It might be well, for it

is a pleasant formula and easy to re—

peat. The words are: “Day by day,

in every way, I am getting better and

better ”





Like the sugar-coated pills of our

childhood this is an alluring prescrip-

tion. There are two questions that

naturally arise, however. First, does

it do any good? Second, can it do

any harm? .



Question number one can only be

answered with proper consideration

of the case to which it is proposed to

make the application. Should this

be a case that is not of a progressive

and destructive character it will do

good. The very act of bravely sum-

moning your spirit to declare that you

are winning your way to health re-

‘moves some of the inhibitions of fear

and gives a better chance for cell re-

pair and construction of new tissue.



But question two is also worthy of

consideration; for the plan can do

‘harm. You may be fighting some mor-

bid agent that is both progressive and





destructive. It may be some active

and virulent disease, such as diph-,

theria. Science has discovered an





anti-toxin for this disease and it is ur-

gent that such anti-toxin should have

early administration. All the pleas-

ant and cheering words that you can

repeat will do nothing against the poi-

son of diphtheria. And while you are

, trying to comfort yourself with their

repetition the disease is making head-

way to the point where it will be be-

yond control by anti- toxin or any oth-

er agent There lies a terrible danger.

After all, every good doctor under-

stands about giving suggestive ther-

apy and practices it in every smile

and encouraging word. The safe way

is to leave it to the doctor, or at least

to combine the formula with the best

care that‘the doctor can give.





WILL GIVE HELP.





 





Please give me the name and ad-

dress of the person troubled with gas

on the stomach. I know a treatment

that will help and I can recommend

it. —-W. L. S.

NEURITIS.

health. My doctor says the farm Work

being so heavy may be the cause of

this trouble. ——L. K. M.





I know of no reason why falm wo1k

should cause neuritis. Such diversi-

fied work would be one of the- last

occupations to cause. this complaint.

Are you sure that you have neuritis?

It occurs to me that arthritis is more

likely. If so, look for diseased teeth,

bad tonsils, or pus foci in some. other

parts of the body. Such troubles may

also cause neuritis, but a chronic

case of neuritis generally has some

specific organic disease at the bottom

of it and is a very hard condition to

cure. I think your fiist need is the

thorough physical exalninatiOn that

will determine acculately the nature

of your illness.





 





KEEP AIR IN HOME MOIST.





 





I have lots of trouble at my home

about the temperature of the house. I

guess my folks think I am a terrible

crank. Please tell us what is p1ope1

temperature. When should windows

be opened?——F1esh Air Clank.





The dry air of a walm house needs

frequent change and refreshing with

air that contains moisture. Otherwise

it steals moisture away from the tis-

sues of the body and thus promotes

colds and chills. A house kept at sev-

enty degrees in which the air is fresh

is much more comfortable than a

house kept up to several degrees high-

er with no moisture. The air should

be in gentle motion, which is impossi-

ble unless fresh air is admitted.





POSSIBLY A WRONG DIAGNOSIS.





 





When a. person has tonsilitis is it

likely to run into diphthelia? We had

a case diagnosed as tonsilitis f01

week, and then changed to a bad case

of diphtheria We would have some

satisfaction in knowing if this is like-

ly. ——M. V. W.
