CURRENT COMMENT





The wise breeder never sells a poor

.animal for breeding purposes.





Canada sent ten million dollars

worth of furs to the United States last

year.





In planning the farmer should alr

ways have in mind that high yields

make low costs peI bushel.





. Do we seek to satisfy the hungering

minds of the children with the same

degree of care that we use in looking

after their stomachs?





Eternal vigilance is the most effec-

tive safeguard against the res-introduc-

tion of tuberculosis into the clean

herd.





The unlimited possibilities of help-

ful service suggest that fairs and ex-

positions have but begun their work of

education through demonstration.





New things give life its zest. “('8

ways needed work until the equipment

these. are ordered at once, costly de-

lays may be avoided next summer.

The work of repairing or replacing

worn or broken parts always takes

time can be taken far more econom-

ically during the, winter season than

when the active farm campaign is on.

nage.’ With the depression still fresh

in mind, businesses are being con-

ducted conservatively. The European

influence upon conditions here has

largely been written off. Moreover,

there is no accumulation of goods;

this should keep our factories run-

ning, our labor engaged, and give a

continuous outlet to raw materials.

This is how the doctor looks at the

present business situation. We hope

he has made no mistake in his diag-





nosis.

or of the new whale EP 51 f thing, and he is ap-

Wet Work meat industry which r0 em 0 parently willing ; to





was started in Alas- Soft Drinks

ka a few years ago, and which has

now been extended to the Scandinav-

ian coast. Through modern methods

of preserving meat, this industry has

met with unusualsuccess and the food

is rapidly becoming popular among the

Norwegians and other northern popu—

lations.



In the past such an industry would

have been impossible. These people

then held to a belief that at certain

seasons of the year the whales drove

great schools of herring into the bays

along the coast and thereby made

profitable a great fishing industry. The

part played by the whales has, how

ever, been disproven. 'So now these

people, with a perfectly clear con-

science, eat canned whale or whale

steak in increasing quantities.



Just as the traditions and beliefs of

the Eskimos and Norwegians had

kept them for ages from availing

themselves of the flesh of these mo‘n-

sters o the deep, so, seemingly, are

the aristocratic andsocial traditions

of our navy keeping that institution

from doing needed service in coast

patrol in times of peace.





Is it not possible that someone will

discover that these traditions can be

over-ridden and that some service may

be secured from the millions of dollars

invested in our navy during peace

times, instead of requiring that the

taxpayers expend additional millions

in building another navy for doing

patrol work?



The hundreds of boats now rusting

away in the dry docks are of the very

type required for this cOast patrol

work. Why not use these navy ves-

sels for watching the bootlegger, who

today is more of a menace to our na-

tional welfare and institutions than

any foreign enemy?





pay for it. The hard

stuff, that which caus-

es insanity and wrecked families costs

enough per quart to keep a. family a.

week, while the soft stuffruns up in

total expenditures which outdo the

money spent‘for education and many

other worthy causes.



Why is it that he .should desire

drink to such an extent? May it be

that he can’t get over his early born

habits of making his intake principally

a liquid one? If so, why does he not

show good judgment by continuing

with the wholesome and natural drink

he started with?





As it is he has fallen by the way

and has substituted palate ticklers for

real thirst quenchers and food drinks.

Even in the supposedly harmless soft

drink, is he being given something

worse than nothing?





Most all of the “grape,” “orange”

and other “fruit” drinks are creations

of the Chemist’s skill and never come

even within the aroma of actual fruits.

They give the' taste but they lack the

healthful qualities of the juices of the

sun-kissed fruit. They contain noth-

‘ing but water, synthetic flavoring and

coloring, while the real fruit juices are

nature’s greatest tonics, filled full of

vitamines and other good qualifies

which help keep the body in a health-

ful condition.



We drink the fake fruit drinks be

cause they can be sold at such low

cost that the real product can notvcom-

pete in price. Their large consump—

tion is an indication that there is. a.

great human craving for a fruit juice

drink which is now being spuriously

met.



Not only is the present status of the

soft drink matter putting one over on

the consuming public, but it is also

unjust to the fruit grower. ,The cheap

competitiOn is closing to him a big op-

Outlook symptonls of business \Vhereas, the present lack of law re-

drinks makes it easy for the soft drink

manufacturer to stand between a

great need and its proper fulfillment,



we believe the State Horticultural So-;

ciety showed very good judgment in





ailments from the

first infection to the final return of

normal business health, just as the

doctor of medicine knows the likely

turns which will come in the various

diseases of the human body.



When industrial production declined

during the summer, there was appre~

hensiou lest we were at the beginning

of another business depression. But

when the doctor was called, he~pro~

nounced the situation as one at which

we should not be alarmed.



He explained that it is impossible to

A summary of the records of the

winners is most interesting and shows





-the follOwing facts to obtain in the





history of nearly every litter.

1. The dams received either some





protein supplementary feed, such as





skim-milk, tankageg middlings, 011'





. . meal or legume hay, along with 3. lim-





 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

 

 





ited amount of corn during the gesta-

tion period, or else the ration was

made up of a very small proportion of

corn, barley of rye for several weeks

before farrowing. This supplementary

protein feed was considered especially

important the last five or six weeks.





2. The dams were managed so as to





‘ require them to take considerable ex-





ercise-every day during the gestation

period.



3. —A careful record of the breeding

date} was kept so that special attention

could be given at farrowing time to

provide a warm, clean, dry pen and to

be on hand to care for the new-born

pigs.



4. The sows were fed lightly for two

days to one week after farrowing, but





' as soon as the pigs could use more





milk, the feed was gradually increased



until the Sows were receiving all they



could consume after the first month.

'5. The. pigs were encouraged to take





Fox Men Get Together at Milwaukee





Economic Value of Industry Prevail; in Discussion:





N the spacious Auditorium, which



covers a whole city block- in Mil-



wankee, there was a circus, a poul-

try show, and a fox show going on at

the same time without any interfer-

ence, or knowledge of each other's

activities. The foxishow was the cen-

ter of our attention.



This show was the fourth annual

live silver fox exhibit of the National

,Silver Fox Breeders’ Association of

America. In it.were bright-eyed, glos-

sy—furred, sly reynards who never

have and never will know the wild

abode of their ancestors. Here were





“ 479 “black dogs,” still untamed, but





who live within wire enclosures, whose

skins sometime would be worth about

' $500,000 if they were to grace milady’ s

neck, but 'who, alive, a1e worth more

than that for breeding purposes

These foxes were entered under two

great divisions, the Standard and the





' Alaskan, and in these divisions there





were about twenty classes, depending

upon the color of the fur in each

division. The judging of these ani-



mals by three competent fur and fox

experts resulted in closer scoring than

ever occurred at fox exhibitions. This

indicates that the leading breeders of

over twelve states are getting closer

to the standard of perfection in their

breeding work, that it is not neces-





sary to‘ go to any certain section to





get good foxes.





The big prize went to Tamedge '





number, a standard black male who





' ' scored 97%. This makes him the high-

est scoring fox in the world. He is

at weaning time, along with tempting

’ 7. Alfalfa or clover pasture was

used for the ,sow and litter and for





full-fed during the last two or three

months. The litters making the high-

thirds. The Corwin-D‘eLuxe silver Fox

Company, of Hart, Michigan, won two

firsts, two thirds and two fourths.

Gaffney & Leonard, of Petoskey, got

one each of first, second and third,

and F. M. Anderson, of Muskegon, got

a first and a second.



At all times during the show crowds





were gathered here andpthere talking-





on various phases of fox raising. Meth-

ods of breeding probably predominat-

ed: Some seem to think that to get a

good medium silver skin, the kind

most in demand, the dark blacks will

have to be introduced in’ the blood

lines every little while in order to

maintain sufficient of the black guard

fur to make a good skin. Others think

that the selection and breeding of good

medium' silvers will give the highest

percentage of good pelts. The medium





silver skin is preferred over the dark

black because any fox skin can be

dyed black in imitation of the real

article, whereas, no dyeing can imi-

tate. the fur with the mixture of silver

and black.



All the breeders feel that soon the

fox business will go on the pelt basis,

but even with it on the pelt basis it

will be very profitable. One old breed-

er has been working on the pelt basis

fOr five years and shows an average

of about $375 for his pelts during that

time. His average cost for raising the

foxes on the pelt basis was $80.



At the business meetings many

things of interest were discussed.

Most of 'them were with relation to

association affairs. During the Friday

morning session there was an interest-

ing discussion on the subject of taxa-

by the Poland China Breed Promotion

Committee. The heaviest Duroc Jer-

sey Litter, produced by H. M. Mell-

wain, of Bath, wins the $100.0ffered

by the National 'Duroc Jersey Record

tey, of Fairgrove, wins the $100 offer-

ed by the Chester White Record Asso-

the $50 offered by the American Duroc

It is interesting to note that‘TWh'flB

a Poland China litter won high honors

both in litter weight and average

weight per pig, a Duroc Jersey litter

stood second, and 3. Chester White

litter stood near the top. Every litter

was sired by a pure-bred, and three-

fourths of the dams were purebreds.

Seven of the sixteen litters were sir-

ed by a Duroc Jersey, five by a Ches-

ter White, three by 3. Poland China,

and one by a Berkshire. Of the dams,

five were Durocs, three Cheaters,

three Polands, one Berkshire, and four

grade Durocs, Polands and Chesters.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

   

 

   

   

   

   

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   





tion. This being a comparatively new

industry, the methods of taxing foxes

vary greatly in different sections. In

some places the tax officials put the

foxes on the rolls for $1,200 to $1,500

each, while in other instances they are

not taxed at all.



One Ohio fox man objected to a.

$1,200 valuation by the local assessor,

so went to the state authorities who

said that everything was listed accord-

ing to its value on April 8, which is

listing day in Ohio. Previous value

and possible future value later on was

not to be taken into consideration. As

foxes are neither good for eating or,

for fur purposes at that date, this

breeder put his whole ranch in at

$100 and expects to fight it out with

the local tax authon‘ties on that basis.

He advised all fox raisers to investi-

gate the tax regulations of their state

in order that their foxes may be fairly

listed.





The chief event of the whole me'ét-

ing was the banquet, held in the Wis-

consin Hotel Blue Room on Friday

evening. Here about 175 enjoyed a.

bountiful feast, some good orchestra

music and singing, and some exotic

dancing. After the entertainment fear

tures were over the boards were clear5

ed and some worth-while speeches -

were listened to. »

DOG BITES BOY.





 





I owned a dog (two years old). The

dog was on my po1ch whele the well

been working in a field near by came

on my place for water. The dog at-

tacked him and hit his arm. I took

had reasonable ground to believe that

he had permission of the owner of the

premises to do so, and it the dog had

the owner, bitten anyone so that he

EMPT FROM TAXES“:





How should one proCeed to gel tax

exemption 011 timber lands not being

used for any other purpose?——K .E





In order to obtain exemption, the

forest reservation must. be on a tract

of land not exceeding 160 acres and

at least one-half of which is improved

and devoted to agricultural purposes.

the reservation containing not less

than 1,200 trees to the acre, either

original or planted, and from which

cattle, horses. sheep, hogs and gdats

are excluded. until ninety per cent of



. the trees are two inches in diameter.

The reservation cannot be more than

one-quarter of the tract. Upon setting

apart such a reservation, the owner

may notify the supervisor,

it becomes his duty to examine the



_ , . reservation and note upon his return



H the condition 01' the trees, and it the

reservation is approved to exemption

from taxation, all value over $1.00 an

acre. After the reservation is estab-

lished, no timber can be cut; from the

tract other than fire, wood, for his do—

mestic use, without permission from

the tax assessor of his district and

payment to him for the trees cut 01'

five per cent, of their appraised vaer.

These provisions are in Act 86 Public

Acts 1917.-- Rood.



HARDWOOD ASHES FOR MUCK

LAND





 





The soil on my land is muck and

sand, and also soul Would you ad-

vis‘e me to put on hardwood ashes? Is

it besfi to leave in piles until spn‘ng?





Hardwood ashes ale most excellent

for muck land. Most muck land is

acid. and ashes contain lime to correct;

this. Muck. land is also deficient in

-the mineral elements of fertility, pot—

, ash and phosphoric acid, and unleach~

ed hardwood aches contain about five

per cent potash and one pel cent phos-

will, therefore, be benefited-in this re-

spect. But, besides, ashes will imprOVe

the physical condition of most sandy

soils. The fine ashes will fill in to

some extent between the coarse parti-

cles of sand making the soil more

dense and a better retaine1 of mois-

ture.



Do not leave the ashes in piles, for

they will leach during the winter, leav—

ing your lime, potash and phosphoric

acid all in one place; whereas, it

should be evenly distributed over the

land. Spread the ashes as applied,

even if the ground is covered with

snow.





CAN THE COMPANY COLLECT?





 





After .ordering some roofing and

paint, and receiving directions for ap-

plying samc, I decided that it wasn’t

Whatl wanted or as I expected it to

be. So I paid the freight charges when

received and also prepaid the freight

and sent it back untouched. Can the

company collect one thnd of the sale

piice?—E. G.



If the1e was a contract the purchas-

er is liable to pay the entire purchase

price, and the seller is not bound to

accept a return of the goods. If by

reason of mistake there was no con-

tract 01' there was a voidable contract

and the purchaser avoids for that rea-

son, he is not liable. for any part of

the purchase price. The goods being

ordered from a printed catalog, con-

taining no misrepresentations of fact,

the prospect, of getting the contract

avoided for mistake would not be very

good. As a matter of good business,

merchants usually make adjustments

in such cases.~—Rood.





BUCKWHEAT FOR DAIRY COWS

,A'ND HOGS.





As we have about. two hundred bush-

els of buckwheat, would like to know

its feeding value for dairy cows. Would

it pay to sell the buckwheat at $32 a

ton and buy bran at $35, gluten at $45,

01 cottonseed meal at $60 a ton? Is

buckwheat a good feed for hogs, or

will it give them the itch ?——’i‘. R.



Buckwheat ground whole has nearly





place of on meal in a ration. But the





bran, or hulls, alone are poor stuff. If

the middlings and hulls are run to-





gether, making what is knoWn as buck— -





wheat feed, this then contains as





much or more «protein, than wheat

bran and is a'desirable feed;



The ideal way to dispose of this

IWANT LUMBER SUPPLY INSURED.





 





Adv issue of long-time bonds with

which the federal government

could acquire extensive areas of cut-





.over lands suitable for reforestation in





the lake states, in the Appalachian

regi0ns and in the south, is the defi-

nite recommendation of the National

Lumber Manufactuyers’ Association,

as the solution, to the problem of in-

suring a future lumber supply.



It is believed that such bonds could

be exchanged for cut—over. lands as

fast as they are available, orthe bonds

could be sold and the proceeds used

for the same purpose, and would be

repaid ultimately from the proceeds of

the forests.

cember to develop. the details of the I

proposed marketing plan. '

The system is predicated on the Fed-

eral Farm Loan .Boaid _organizatiou,

and is to be brought about by congres— . t

sional action. It contemplates thecre—

ation of a federal cooperative market-

ing board, the members presumably to

be appointed by the'President. The I

country will- be divided into twelve '1-

regional districts corresponding to the

present Federal Land Bank districts.

Local cooperative marketing associa.

tions will be formed in connection with

the regional organization, similar to

the Federal Farm Loan Association.

The central board is to be a. source

of dependable information as to trans- '

.portation, distribution, supply‘ and '





__‘





 





kets, the purpose being to secure more

economical distribution, and reduce

Losses due to market gluts and over

and under-supply caused by imperfect

distribution of farm products.



The plan at present .is only in ,the

incipient stage. It is probable that

when worked out to a practical basis.

a bill will be introduced in congress,

providing for its establiShment- and

operation. - '





SOME CONGRESSIONAL PROB-

LEMS.





 





HE movement to reduce taxes is



meeting the approval of all part-

ies. Leaders on both sides of the

house and senate have spoken favor-

ably of the Mellon tax reduction plan,

in some instances with modifications

and amendments.



It is evident that there will be some

differences of. opinion among farm or-

ganizations in regard to Secretary

Mellon’s plan. Some of the. farm or-

ination of the taxes,on movingppic-

ture shows and other so-called nuis-

ance taxes



Theie promises to be a hot fight

early in the session on the tax 1evis-

ion problem.



Some farm organization leaders say

that the farmers are not nearly so

interested in income tax reduction as

they are in reduction of real estate

and personal property taxes. These

taxes are piling up so high that the

farm 0Wners have little income left

after paying taxes.



The majority party has two candi-

dates for floor‘ leader of the house.

Representative Longworth, of Ohio, a

conservative, and pronounced wet, is

one. , Representative Graham, of Illi~

pols, representing the more progres-

sive western group, and standing for

Mr. Graham announces that he is

not a radical, but the movement to

RAND RAP‘IDS was the scene of

many agricultural activities dur«

ing week of November 20, and

the fruit growers’ meeting was chief

among them. This was a three-day

session, from November 20- 23, in which

most of the outstanding problems

were discussed.



The opening talk was given by Mr.

George Starr, of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College horticultural department.

He recommended certain vegetables

inter-cropping with

fruits. Many farmers are using mel-

ons to inter-crop their orchards, and

find it profitable, he said.



What is perhaps one of the finest

pieces of experiment station work is

being done by Mr. Stanley Johnston.

He told of What he has accomplished

by various methods of pruning black

111spbenies. The results generally

shov that heavy pruning pays Mr.

Johnston has gone into such detail in

this work that he knew just what each

twig and bud did. Much of this new

and enlightening work will be review-

ed in these columns in an article by

him.



Spraying Controls Leaf Spot.



Professors Wells and Duiton gave

the results of their work in the con-

trol of the cherry lea'i' spot. They

found that defoliation caused serious

loss in the crop the following year.

However, lime-sulphur, 11/1. to 50, prop-

erly applied, kept the leaf spot in very

good control. Bordeaux produced good

control but caused leaf injury when

climatic conditions were favorable for

such injury. Bordeaux made with an





caused a dwarfing of the fruit.



Mr. W. P. Hartman, of the Bureau

of Foods and Standards, and ot' the

Slate Department of Agriculture, said

that there are billions of dollars worth

of business done by_l'armer coopera-

tion in this country. However, there

is still opportunity for great improve-

ment in cooperative work in Michigan.

The lack of grading costs the Michi-

gan potato growers many thousands

of dollars because Michigan potatocs

were discriminated against 011 that ac-

count. Better grading of fruit this

year has probably been responsible

for Detroit merchants featuring Mich-

igan apples this year as never before.



Mr. A. L. \Vaison, of Strawberry

Acres, near Grand Rapids, told of his

profitable experience with Ever-bear-

ing strawberries grown under the ov-

erhead irrigation system.



Wants Fruit Futures Recorded.



In his speech Wednesday morning,

Mr. James Nicols, president. of the

Michigan Fruit Growers, Inc, took a





 





rap at the present methods of selling

'futures in fruit. Often a buyer would

:s‘ell early in the season and then use

the rest of his time “bearing” the mar-

ket to get fruit as cheap as possible

to fill his sales. on the stock ex-

changes a11d boards of trade, future

sales are all recorded and such a sys-

tem in the sale of fruit would elimi-

nate much of the injustice which now

prevails. The trucker-peddler was also

a. problem, Mr. Nicol said, as he did

not come under the jurisdiction of

grading and package laws. Thus he

often bought cheaply and spoiled the

markets for the standardized products.



Mr. A. L. Pino gave the results of

his experience as a market master in

Detroit and Lansing, after which the

student speaking contest took place.

In this contest H. J. “Wilkinson, of De-

tioit, won first place his talk being on

the need of cooperation. E. R. Bristol,





V .of Alpena, Michigan, got second, by





telling of the value of local storage.

Lewton again came into. the winnings

by tying with Don Uebele, of Blanch-

ard, for third place. '



In the business meeting which fol‘

lowed, A. J. Rogerswas re-elected' as





president. The other officersTe-elect-

ed were: T. A Farrand, secretary;

J. P. Munson, treasurer, and V. R.





Gardner and R. J. Coryell as mem~

bers of the executive committee. It

was also decided to hold the annual

meeting during the first week in De

cember, as has been the custom, in-

stead of earlier, as was the case this

year. Better crowds attend the later

meetings.

Carlot as Closed Packages.



At the business meeting, numerous

resolutions were passed. One express-

ed sentiment against the use of the

words “cider vinegar?’ for vinegar

made out of peels and cores. Another

extended sympathy and expressed a.

loss of counsel and inspiration to

Michigan horticulture through the

death of Mr. Roland Morrill. A truth-

in-fruit-juice bill was advocated in an-

other. An adherence to the principles

of: cooperation and-reaffirming the so-

ciety’s stand in favor of the gasoline

tax as a just means of raising funds

for maintaining roads, made up two

other resolutions.



A resolution asking that carlots of

bulk apples be considered as closed

packages, and as such be placed under

the requirements of the closed pack-

age law, was passed after consider-

able discussion. Another resolution

which caused discussion was the. re‘

quest that an amendment be made to

the Capper-Tincher law to require that





future sales of apples be listed or leg





istered.

To Encourage Cider Drinking.



In order that pure-fruit drinks be

made more popular, the society asked

in resolution that the M. A. C. en—

gineering department put. its talent to

the development of a hand cider press

that could be used at soda fountains

to press apples as cider is needed.

oluiions; ‘



Prof. R. B. Cruikshank, extension

specialist in pomology in Ohio, gave a.

The crop which passed inspection

and from which exhibits were selected

to compete in the above show, and

also at Grand Rapids, was grown on

a cloversod plOwed last fall and re—

plowed during the latter part of May.

A light ”dressing of manure was ap-

plied this spring. _



,“We had an unusually dry season

this year, and I am confident,” stated

Mr. Herron in arecent interview, “that

the .fall plowing and the thorough cul-.





tivation given this field kept the pota— ‘





toes growing through the drought pe-

riod while many other fields, lacking

this attention, succumbed.”



Large pieces- of potatoes were used

for seed. These were treated with

corrosive sublimate solution to pro-

tect against scab and black scurf. On





June 10 the seed was planted in hills





twenty-seven by thirty-six inches

apart so the field could be cultivated

both ways; ' ,



The field consisted of sixteen acres

of which four were reserved for the

production of certified seed. These

four acres averaged 310 bushels per

acre. From them were selected five

entries to the aboveshow, each win-

ning a place with strong competition.

NTER makes fresh demands

upon the lubricating system

of your automobile engine.



It is essential that your lubricating

system provide immediate an

thorough distribution of the oil to all

engine parts.



Some lubricating systems distribute

the heavier—bodied oils under summer

operating conditions, but due to cer—

tain features of design will require

an oil of special fluidity now that

winter is here. This is not true of all

cars as some are designed to use the





STUDEBAKER





All Studebaker engines are lubricated by a

Splash Circulating lubricating system. A

gear type oil pump, located on the rear of

the engine and on the. cam shaft level,

about 10 inches above the oil level, forces

oil directly to splash troughs under each

cylinder bore. , _





The connecting rods dip into the oilin

these troughs, creating an 011 mist which

lubricatcs all engine parts.





Oils of good fluidity atomize more easily

and more thoroughly than heavxcr-bodied





lubricants. »





Under the lower operating temperatures

of winter it is important that the oil be of

good fluidity in order to assure thorough

distribution to the piston pin bearings,

cylinder walls and pistons, asvvell as 'all

other engine parts. ‘ '





Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic meets these .

requirements.





MAXWELL





The positive operation of the Maxwell Force

Feed lubricating system depends. upon the

impeller type oil pump receiving-an unfail-

ing supply of lubricating oil. .





As the pump is located at a considerable

height above the oil level with both the 011

suction and discharge lines outside the



'crankcase, it is important in cold ‘weather to

use an oil of exceptional fluidity. Otherwise

circulation of the oil may be interrupted.





Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic possesses the

’ proper fluidity to assure the'thorough prim-

ing and distribution necessary under these

conditions and has the proper ’c'haracter to

provide adequate engine lubrication.





BUICK





The Buick engine employs..a splash Cir-V

culating s stem of lubrication. In this’

system, lubrication of the cylinders, pis-



"tons,'piston rings and piston pin bearings'

depends solely upon an oil mist created by

the, connecting rods dipping into the oil in

troughs located in the crankcase. .





In’rhe 1923 engine slotted covers are?

placed over these splash troughs. These,

covers materially cut down the amount of



~» oil mist created and limitthe quantity sup-

plied to the working parts.



Where the cylinders, pistons, piston rings

and iston pin bearings are so-lubricated,

the ubricant used during winter must

possess special characteristics.





It must be of the proper fluidity at the

low temperatures encountered to be atom-

ized immediately and thoroughly by the'



’ dipping action of the connecting rods. At



» the same time, its character should be such

that adequatelubrication is provided under

all operating conditions.





 





 





winter——





same oil both summer and winter.





Among others, the Studebaker,

Maxwell, Buick and Overland lubri-

cating systems employ certain features

which 'make it imperative to use a

winter oil which will not unduly

thicken or congeal in cold weather.

If you drive any of these cars the

following information should not

only be interesting, but helpful, ifthe

recommendations are followed, in

improving winter performance and

reducing the troubles which cold

weather operation. produces.





Unless a lubricating oil is used which

meets these requirements, insufficient lu-

brication and poor distribution with result-

ant premature wear of the working parts

may occur.





Gargoyle MobiloilArctic perfectly meets

these requirements. This oil is of such

fluidity as to readily and thoroughly atom-

ize at low temperatures and is of such

character as to provide highly efficient

engine lubrication.





At the same time, due to its clean bum-

lng character, Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic will

result in a minimum of carbon deposits and

carbon troubles.





OVERLAND





The Splash Circulating lubricating system

of the Overland differs radically from the

conventional type. The flywheel is used as

an oil pump. Running with its lower edge

continually immersed in the engine oil, it

throws the lubricating oil by centrifugal

force into a small pocket where’it asses

through a strainer, From this the oi flows

by gravity through a distributing pipe ,to

the three main bearings to troughslocated

under each cylinder bore and to the timing

gears.





The splashing action of the flywheel also

circulates the oil in the transmission and

clutch assemblies and thus provides for

their lubrication. 4 ‘





Due to the immersion of the flywheelin

the oil, sufficient quantities may notibc

suppliedto the engine for its lubrication if

the oil is congealed or of heav body.‘ Ex-

cessive fluid friction drag wil also riasult.

Then too, heavy-bodied oils cause clutch

slippage. Oils when congealed or too heavy-3

bodied do not squeeze out from between the

clutch plates as readily 'as the lighter





, bodied, free-flowing lubricants. » ~=





The lighter bodied lubricants, from, a

distribution standpoint, are most eflicient

in this engine. Due, however, to the’ fact

that the engine oil also lubricatesthe‘trans—

mission unit, the lubricant must have the

character necessary for a proper cushioning

of the gear teeth. _ -. _



In winter Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctid-is-of

the proper fluidity to provide immediate

and thorough distribution in "an Overland

engine. It protects against 'an undue

amount of fluid friction drag. _It provides

adequate transmission lubrication. '

HAT which will keep the doctor

away, and that which has been

the mainstay of the Irish, made

up one of the greatest exhibits of the

products of the soil Michigan has ever

seen. There were enough apples there

to cause. a thousand Adams to fall, and

sufficient potatoes to keep the Chicago

police force fed for nearly a year.

The second Michigan Apple and Po-

tato Show, which was held at Grand

Rapids, was the occasion of the get-to-

gether of these two 'farm‘~ products.

But apples and potatoes were not the

Whole show this time. The implement

men were there in numbers with their

exhibits of tools and accessories to

make efficient care of these farm

products easier.

Entertainment Features.



And on the side, for dessert there

were entertainment features which in-

terested urban and rural folks alike.

There was “Big Rich,” the Hoosier

humorist, with his own and James

\Vhitcomb Riley‘s poems, and jokes

both old and new. And Schneider’s

Orchestra entertained with both jazz

and sensible music, besides they play-

ed for the old-fashioned dances which

were held every evening. At these

dances, young fox trot experts were

wall Ilowvrs, while gray haired folks

tried to demonstrate by dancing the

dances of a generation past. that they

were just as young as they used to be.



In an educational way there, were

demonstrations in the preparation and

use of apples and spuds. Apples in

every form were shown, and potatoes

weroulressed up so you would not

know them. Other educational features

showed the. numerous uses of these

two products in means which were

both healthful and appetizing. The

city school children Were admitted

free so that they might learn what

real good apples and potatoes were,

and housewives were given the oppor-

tunity to show their preference in

spuds.



Champions Lose Out.



In the exhibitions, Lee Sneathen, of

Charlevoix, winner of the sweepstakes

at the big Duluth potato show, and

Edward Dornke, the seventeen-year-Old

boy who carried away the high spud

honors at Gaylord were competing but

neither got. the big money here, a1:

though. Sneathen got second place. Ed—

ward Sutton, of Central Lake, walked-

home with the sWeepstakes, and Ern-

est Pettifor, who won the sweepstakes

last year got third place. The other

winnings are given on page 601.



On \Vednesday and Thursday morn-

ings the Potato Producms’ Association

discussed storage, standardization, p0—

tato diseases and cooperation. The

implement men also held meetings to

discuss the problems which beset their

business.





FRUIT GROWERS GET TOGETHER.

(Continued from page 586).

He showed that. there was .an almost

Constant dtnnand for apples during ten

'months of the year, but Michigan mar-

keted about ninety per cent of its crop

This put Michi~

gan fruit into immediate consumption,

usually at low prices, or put. it into the

hands of speculators for future profit.

The president and manager of the

.South Haven Fruit Corporation, Mr. F.

E. Warner, who has hundreds of acres

of fruit in his charge, gave some in

tare-sting production figures on Duch-

ess, \Vealthies and Baldwins, which

showed that the_production costs were

thirty-two cents per bushel. The Bald—

wins are still in storage, but the Duch-

ess and VVealthies showed a profit of

$72 for the seven acres. Most of the

growers present thought he was for»

innate to- make that much under pres?

ent conditions. -. , ‘:

‘use of nitrates on trees Which are sub- '

ery‘in recent agricultural hiStory.‘His '_ '





talk will be given in detail in a. future

issue.

More Storage Needed.



Air-cooled storage for Michigan was

the subject handled by Prof. R. E.

Marshall. Mr. Marshall showed how

quickly Michigan fruit Went to the

market, while NewYork and other ap-





ple states marketed their fruit more





evenly, because of more available ship-

ping-point storage space. He describ-

ed some air-cooled storages which

were very successful in Michigan.



Mr. James Jakeway, who has been

associated with Mr. Roland Morrill in

the development of the Hearts of Gold

melon, told of the history of its de-

velopment. It» was an accidental cross

between Osage and Netted Gem in

1890. Since then it has been selling

to the most discriminating trade in

competition with the best Colorado

and California trade. The variety has

been imitated, and even seeds stolen

and marketed under other names.





Cherry Marketing Problems.



‘ In his usual spirited manner, Mr.

George Firday gave. some hints on

marketing cherries. He said that

Michigan would soon be the cherry

center of the. country, and therefore

the marketing problem was one which

needed serious consideration. Among

th; new methods suggested was the

pitting of cherries and marketing

them in kegs so that. housewives could

do their own canning. The housewife

always prided herself on her home-

canned product, but disliked the pit-

ting work. The method suggested

would tlmret'Ore open a larger market,

he thought.



Prof. F. C; Bradford, of the M. A. C.

horticultural department, gave the re—

sults of his experimental work with

fertilizers in orchards. His general

conclusions are that the nitrogen fer-

tilizers have produced results, but the

effects of other fertilizers have. been

doubtful. The gains from nitrogenous

fertilizers have been greater in sod

orchards than in cultivated ones.



Thinning Pays.



session was by Robert Anderson, of

Covert, who related his.-. experience

with thinning peaches- He found that

good feeding of plums and peaches

paid and that productiveness could not

be lessened by over-feeding as in the

case of apples. The trimming should

be light when winter has had an effect

on the buds, and heavy when the buds

have come through strong and without

injury. Good thinning on well-pruned

trees produced good fruit. In his tests,

Mr. Anderson found that his unpruned

but thinned trees produced an average

of six bushels, of which four were 13

grade and two A grade. On a pruned

and thinned tree there Were only five

bushels, but four of them were Av,

grade and only one B-grade. The net

results were twice as great as in the'

case of the latter. ' '

.only five years ago. The findings in

scientific work among foxes was. alr

ready being felt in better sanitation

work among humans and animals. Dr.

. Dearborn felt that the great future use

of the fox was for the profitable use

of farm wastes. Waste grains from

threshing, small apples and potatoes,

skim-milk, and evengwornout animals,

can-be more profitably used in pro-

ducing furs for milady than in any

other way.





Major Lambson, of C. L. Lambson

& Co., London, England, the largest

fur dealer in the world, was the next

speaker. Although an authority on fox

skins this was the first time he had

ever seen a live fox, and he was sur-

prised at the number and quality of

animals shown. He was glad to see

that the medium silver fox predomi-

nated for that sort of skin was in

greatest demand. Before he left Eng-

land his brother told him to be sure to

tell the fox men that the silver fox

skin was by far the best article on the

London and continental markets.





Robert Treamer, one of the judges

at the show, and American represent-

ative of the Lambson Company, said

that he, too, was surprised at the

showing made at this meeting. As to

the future demand, he said' that from

the time of the old Hudson Bay Com:

pany, over two hundred and fifty years

ago, furs have been articles of

adornment. for our ladies. This being

so he felt certain that we could beas—

sured a good market for two hundred

and fifty years longer, and probably as

long as women existed. His criticism





pelts contained a little too, much sil~

very. A pelt showing about; twenty-

five per cent silver usually sold the

best.





Dr. G. W. Olmstcad, president of

the Minnesota Fox Breeders’ Associa-

tion, and professor of languages at the

Minnesota University, said that the fu-

ture looked very .bright for fox raising.

He, himself, succumbed to the lure of

live stock raising some time ago and

is now a Holstein cow and Hampshire

hog enthusiast. But his latest. interest

in live stock, the fox, predominates

all others as a. hobby and for

profit. The fox, he said, was one of

the most intelligent and interesting

animals man comes in contact. with.

He said the University of Minnesota

had a separate department for fur-

bearing animals, which was doing

splendid work in controlling fox dis-

eases. He believed that cooperative

marketing offox furs similar to the

marketing of potatoes and apples

would be one of the future develop-

ments. _

“I’m sorry—terribly sorry.” Barry

was speaking earnestly and holding

“We’ll forget it all." A flashing

smile had crossed the girl’s lips. “Fred

never knows 110w to take Ba’tiste.

They’re always quarreling this way.

The only trouble is that Fred—” and

she turned to face him piquantly——

“alWays takes in the whole world

when he gets mad. And that includes

me, I think,” and the little nose took

a more upward turn than ever, “that

Ba’tiste is entirely right. Fred. You

talked to me as though I were a sack

of potatoes. I won’t go with you, and

I won’t see you until you can apol-





ogize.”

“There’s nothing to apologize for!”

Thayer jammed on his hat: and

stamped angrily out the door. Me—





daine watched him with laughing eyes.





“He’ll write me a letter tonight,”

came quietly. Then, “Lost \Vincg!”



“Ugh!” It Was a grunt from out-

side.





“I just, wanted to be sure you were

there. Call me when Mr. Thayer has

passed the ridge.”



“Ugh!”



Medaine tuined again to ll’atiste, a

childish appealanCe ot confidence in

her eyes, her hand lingering on the

chair by the bed.



“W'ere you really fooling, Ba’tiste~~

“Perhaps-q" the twinkle still shone

“\Vhen you need me, Ba’tiste,’ she

answered, with a smile that took in

also the eager faCe on the bed. “I’ll

be glad to help you. Good-by.”



That too included Barry, and he an-

swered it with alacrity. Then for a

moment after she had gone, he lay

'scowling at Ba’tiste, who once more,

in a weakened state of merriment, had

reeled to the wall. followed as usual

by his dog, and leaned there, hugging

his sides. Barry growled:



“You’re a fine doctor! Just when

you had me cured, you quit! l’d for-

Pierre, he was strong and tall and

Like you can smile. You look like my

“Thanks, Ba’ tiste." Barry said it in

wholehearted manner. “You don’t

know how grateful I am for a little

true friendliness.”



“Grateful? Peuff! You? Bah, you

shall go back, and they will ask who

helped you when you were hurt, and

you~you will not. even remember

what is the name."



“Hardly that.” Barry pulled thought-

I’m not going back, and in the second,

I haven’t enough true friends to for‘

get so easily. I—I—” Then his jaw

dropped and he lay staring ahead, out





sheer determination, Barry forced a

smile and pulled himself .-back that

“Maybe you know the reason al-

mean when you say you are a man’s

friend?”



“Ba’ teese may joke,” came quietly,

“but Ba’teese no lie. You look like my

Pierre—you help where it has been

lonesome. You are my frien’. ”



“Then I know you are not going to

ask me for something that hurts in

telling. And at least, I can give you

my word of honor that it isn’t because

of my conscience!”



Ba’tisto was silent after that, walk-

ing slowly about the room, shaggy

head bent, hands clasped behind his

“You act; funny again. You act like

Barry Houston did not answer at

once. Old scenes were flooding through

his brain. old agonies that reflected

themselves upon his features, old sor-

~rows, old horrors. His eyes grew cold

and lifeless, his hands white and

drawn, his features haggard. The

chuckle left the lips of Ba’tiste Re

ously to the bed, and gripped the

younger man by his uninju1ed aim.

back, studious, as though striving to

fathom what had ,been on the man’s

mind. As for Barry, he stared discon-

solately at ' vacancy, living again a

thing which he had striven to forget.

It had been forced upon him, this par—

tial admission of a cloud in the past;

the geniality, the utter honesty, the

friendliness of the old Frenceranadi-

an, the evident dislike for a man

whom he, Barry, also thoroughly dis-

trusted, had lowered the younger

man’s guard. The tragic story .of

Pierre and Julienne had further the

merest chance acquaintance into what

seemed the beginning, at least, of clos-

est friendship. Houston had known

Ba’tiste for only a'matter of a few

hours—yet it seemed months since he

first had looked upon the funny little

blue cap and screaming red shirt of

and it was evident that

Renaud had felt the same reaction.

Barry Houston, to this great, lonely

man of the hills. looked like a son

who was gone, a son who had grown

tall and straight and good to look

upon, a son upon whom the old man

And With ’this vieWpoint, theno ‘

awas no shamming about the old man’s





expressions of friendship. More, he

took Barry’s admission of a cloud in





the past as a father would take it from ‘





a son; he paced the floor minute after

minute, head bowed, giay eyes half

closed, only to turn at last with an

expression which told Barry Houston

that a friend was his for weal or woe,

for fair weather 01 foul, good or evil.



"Eet is enough!” came abiuptly.

“There is something you do not want

to tell. .I like you—I not. ask. You

look like my Pierre—who could do no

wrong. So! Bow—god! Ba’ teese is

you1 f1ien’. You have trouble? Ba’ teese

help.”



“I’ ve had plenty of that, in the last

two years,” came‘ quietly. “I think

I’ve got plenty ahead of me. What do

you know about Thayer?” '



“He no good.”



“Why?”



“Ba’ teese don’ know. On y he have

himselféhe ask you question an’ tell

you nothing. He have hatchet—face;

Ba-teese no like a man with a hatchet-





t'ace. Beside, he make love to Me—

daine.” .



Barry laughed. 7



“Evidently that’s a sore spot with

you, Ba’tiste.”



“No. Ba’teese no care. But if my

Pierre had live, he would have. make

love to her. She would have marry

him. And to have M’sieu 'I‘hayer take





his place? No! Mebbe—” he said it

hopefully, “mebbe you like Medaine,

huh?”



“I do! She is pretty, Ba’tistc.”



“Mebbe you make love?”



But the man 011 the bed shook his





‘ head. .





CAN’T make love to anybody, Ra’-





tiste. Not until I’ve—I’ve found

something I’m looking for. I’m afraid

that’s a long way off. I haven’t the





privileges of st young fellows. I’m

a little——what would you call it—'~

hampered by circumstance. I’ve-~be—





sides, if I ever do marry, it won’t be

for love. There’s a girl back east who

says she cares for me, and who sim~

ply has taken it for granted that'I

think the same way about her. She

stood by meé-in sometrouble. Out of

every one, she didn’t believe what they

said about me. That means a lot.

Some way, she isn’t‘my kind; she just

doesn’t awaken affection on my part,

and I spend most of my time calling

myself a cad over it. But she stood

by me—andwl guess that’s all that’s

necessary, after all. When I’ve fulfill-

ed my contract with myself—if I ever

do—I’ll do the square thing and ask

her to marry me.”



Ba’tiste scowled.

THERE is the meat of the HOOD Story told in ten words—work





in comfort, keep your feet dry, get longer service.





HOOD comfort comes from proper designing -— re-enforcements

placed exactly where they belong, and better rubber and scientific

compounding to give more wear, with no clumsy weight.





Leaky boots are frequently caused by exposure to the sun and air.

While no boot can stand undue exposure, the HOOD Process so guards

against this danger that HOOD Boots and Overshoes remain excep-

tionally free from cracks and leaks.





HOOD soles of tire-tread stock are

built for long wear under all conditions.

If you are not familiar with the latest developments in rubber foot-

wear, it will pay to step into the store and examine a HOOD Boot, or

a HOOD Kattle King, or a pair of White Rock Rubbers. Find out how





HOODs are serving other men in your locality.





You will be interested in the Kattle King and Wurkshu combina-

tion. The Wurkshu is a strong, durable canvas shoe, that does not

bind or cramp the foot. Men are wearing them under the Kattle King,

a fleece-lined, all-rubber gaiter. At night the Kattle Kings are quickly

and easily cleaned, and there is no need to change the Wurkshu—

they are as comfortable as slippers.

~HE early .church was very hu-



., '- man. We think- of the church

_ 'during the first trim or three

centuries as composed of people who

, , were peculiarly‘holy people; who found

, . it easy to be good, and- diificult to be

bad.‘ In other words, they were a kind



‘ of plaster of/‘Paris saints, Who lived in

an unreal world. But on second

thought, we know better than this.

They were real folks, just like the

people who live in Detroit or Hastings

or Ontonagon county. They found it

terribly hard to be good, some of'them,

and some never did become very good.

Read First and Second Corinthians,



to get, a picture of conditions in the



1 church of those days. It gives one an

idea of what Paul

had to contend

with. There is a

horrible case of

immorality men-

tioned in one

chapter; there is

the sordid picture

of p e o p l e who

make a picnic out

of the holy communion, and others (li—

\ vide up 'into factions, some claiming

to be followers o'f'one man, and others

prefer another. After one has read

such a narrative as this, he thinks

more of .the community where he

lives. If Paul could build up strong

churches out of such material, what

‘is not possible in Michigan towns and





 





 





villages?

, HE disciples seemed to prefer re-

maining in Jerusalem, after the

l- ascension of Christ, but the martyr-





dom of Stephen compelled them to

scatter and carry the message else-

where. They became missionaries, not

perhaps from choice, but from neces—

sity. They went about preaching the

“word.” The word was the entire mes-

sage they had receiv-ed, of the teach-

,ing, the death and resurrection of their

Lord. .

One of the first evangelistic adven-

tures was that of Philip, in the city of

Samaria. He made a stir.‘ The meet-

, ings were crowded. Whether a collec-

i tion was taken up for the preacher,

,we do not know, but if there had been,

. the collection plates would have been

‘ i’ull. Listen: “And the crowds at-

. tended like one man to what was said

‘ by Philip, listening to him and watch—

, ing the miracles he performed. For





shrieking out of many who had been

possessed, and many paralytics and

lame people were healed.

was great rejoicing in that town.”



It is a beautiful sight to see a whole

town turning to God. Something like

this took place in Ipswich, England, a

year or two ago. All classes of people

r. joined in the meetings. The moving

a picture houses displayed announce-

ments on the screen like this: “Ips-

wich is moving toward God; have you

started yet?” On the last day a unit-

ed service was held in front of the

l ‘ town hall, where the mayor and city

; council, the representative citizens of



.the city, the labor leaders, and the



' officials of all the churches, both Pro-

» testant and Roman Catholic, met to-

. gether, and the bishop solemly claim-

.“ 'ed the town‘ for God and offered its

corporate life “to the joyous active

service of Jesus Christ.”

I have been in the church game for;

fifteen years, and I have seen some of ,

this kind of thing, but not a great:

who unites with the church is sincere

but he is not deliberately insincere}

W'eakness should never be confounded ;

with insincerity. Some very devoutf

people are guilty of practices which‘

unconscious of it. '5



One of the events of this week‘s:

lesson is the conversion‘ of Saul. .

The wonder of this has never been'

surpassed in Christian history, and yet

there have been many other convers-

ions as sudden and complete as his.

The fact of conversion must never be

obscured in the church. we know that .

there is such an experience as conver-

sion. Such books as “Twice Born

Men,” by Harold Begbie, “Broken

Earthenware,” and “The Common Man

and the Extraordinary Thing,” by thel

same author, are monuments that con- 2'

version is as possible and as wonder-i

ful today as it was in the days of the;

early church. Any of the above books 3

are worth reading, and indeed they!

are nothing short of fascinating. ‘

may well linger. The eunuch was a

negro of education and responsibility.

He was, in other words, the treasurer

of the queen of Ethiapia, now called

Nubia and Abyssinia. It is south of

Egypt. The manner in which the

Spirit led Philip on his errand always

challenges attention. He went, as he

believed, on the command of the Holy

Spirit. We may think of this, not as

if he heard an audible voice, but the

“still small voice” within.

He went. And he had not proceeded

many miles .until he met the man

whom he led to Christ. The way was

all prepared. The treasurer was fa-

miliar with the Old Testament (the

only Bible of that day), and in fact,





he was reading the fifty-third of Isaiah ‘





when Philip met him. Thus was the

trail all blazed for the eager and ex-

pectant Philip. The stranger asks why

he may not be baptized, and is told

that if he believes in Christ he may.

Baptism followed on the spot;

the skin with a tingling warmth that

brings relief at once.

Children? Colds





Children’s colds are decidedly

more dangerous than those of

adults and. until Muco Salve was

discovered, probably more difficult

to treat because the child's stom-

ach so often rebels against strong

medicines.



Muco Salve is applied externally

and the treatment is so pleasant .the

child immediately feels better. Ap-

ply the salve in each nostril. rub

on throat and chest then cover

chest with warm flannel. Keep

Muco Salve in the house always.

-might say, “What is

Christmas with a fruit cake?”



To be at its best, the Christmas

fruit cake must be made a few weeks

before the Yuletide day, that it may

have time to ripen and be fully flav-

ored. The idea is abroad that to be

good a fruit cake‘must be expensive.



Of course, one may add as many of

the good things as one Wishes, but

these inexpensive, yet palate-tickling

recipes will appeal to the housewife

who desires to economize.



If you have a college friend, why

not send them a Christmas fruit cake

for one of their “Spreads?” Experlé

ence tells me that they are very much

appreciated.

Itine efr mthe pan :" ‘





Dorothy Reed Mendenh‘all, of the home

economics department of the Univer-

sity of Wisconsin, in a recent inter-

view. "This mixed diet is necessary





‘because vegetables furnish material





for growth as well as more minerals

for bones, teeth, and blood, and more

vitamines to stimulate growth”.





All of the leaf or root vegetables

except the potato may be fed to in-

fants, according to Dr. ,Mendenhall.

Potatoes are excellent for the older

child, but not for the baby. Bread or

rice should be used instead of pota-

toes for the young child, as it is more

easily digested. ”





Minerals and vitamines will cook out

into the water. If this is strained it

may be fed alone to babies under six

months. For older children the Vege-

tables should be put through a fine

wire sieve, and thepulp and liquid

fed together or vegetable soup-1 prepar-

ed. This soup should fOrm 'the chief

part of the midday meal during early

childhood.





“When the vegetables as prepared

above are nearly doue, one to two ta-

blespoons of rice which has been soak-

ed in warm water may be added,” says

Dr. Mendenhall. “Cook until rice is

soft, about fifteen minutes.”

WHE‘N TO SLIP GERANIUMS.





 





W'ill some kind friend tell me when

to slip geraniums to have them blos-

som the last of May? We are far from

town and farmers are very busy at





 





'four-inch pots, when they will be in





 





that time of year. lVe have many

graves to decorate and the above in-.

formation Would be appreciated—In—





If geraniums are to be in flower the

last of May, it is necessary to have a.

place where geraniums can be grown

during the winter and spring months.

To prepare for flowering time in May,

cuttings .are made late in September,

placed in clean sand in a propagating

bench in a temperature of about fifty-

five to sixty degrees, and they are

allowed to remain there until the

menth of January, when they are plac-

ed in two and one-half-inch pots, a1-

lowing them to remain in these pots

until they become pot-bound, which

will be about the last of March, or

about Easter time, when extra room

is supplied after the Easter season.

These young plants then are shifted

from two-and-one-half-inch pots into





nice flowering condition about the last

of May. This is usually the commer-

cial way of growing geraniums. VVith-

out the convenience of a greenhouse,

the only way to do is to imitate as

closely as possible the greenhouse

practices.-Gunson.'

Doings 'In





A Little Boy Samar Bruin





RUIN groaned in the tight grasp



of the man’s trap. How his foot



ached and pained! Twist and



squirm as he might, he could not get



loose. No matter in what position he

stood, the pain was no easier.



To Bruin. it seemed a long time.





, Yes, a very longtime, since the little





stranger Squirrel had started with his

message to Rolly. ‘



_ He knew Rolly Rabbit would. bring

help as soon as possible. But he wish-

ed he would hurry, or—



No sooner had he thought this when

he turned to see a man coming, wind-

ing his way among the trees.



His heart went thump. Forgetting





 





the trap, he started to run. But he

could not get away. Thesharp teeth

of the trap cut deeper into his flesh.



The man came running toward him.

“Ah, Ha. At last I have you, you big

rascal. What a nice fur coat you will

make me, Mr. Bear,” he said. “Now

to get you home.”



'Bruin could not understand what the

man meant by these straige noises,

but his tone made him more afraid.



_ Takinglsomeshells from his pocket,

the then put them ‘in his bang, bang

gun. Bruin had never seen a gun like

this before, but he remembered about

what happened to Mrs. Rolly Rabbit.

His knees trembled. and he was weak.

V‘EJust.‘ as the man raised his bang,

have the muzzle and rope right here.”



The man thought a few minutes,

then answered, “Perhaps he is too

small for a coat anyway. Yes, we will

take him home, son, and you may have

him for a pet.”



“Just see how frightened he is, poor

little fellow,” said the boy.



He talked to Bruin in gentle sooth-

ing words, but it was with some diffi-

culty thatthe man and the boy finally

got the. muzzle fastened on him.



Bruin was very doubtful as to just

whatihey were going to do with him,

and he cuffed on every side with his

paw and tried hard to get away. The

muzzle over his head was very uncom-

fortable, but try as hard as he might,

he could not get it off.



At last he became too tired to resist

any longer. And after weary miles of





to a tree. Nearby was a big house,

bigger than Bruin had ever seen be-

fore in his life. The man and the boy

left him alone and went into this big

house.

enough to put in the pole, then take

food will not be easily brushed out on

to the ground, now your box looks

like the picture. If you got a sapling

for your pole leave a few small

branches at the top. if you use a.

stick, you should put two or three big

nails in the top before you fasten the

pole into the box. This will give a

place to fasten the wire, which you

will need to bind on the cornstalks.





Now you are ready for your corn-

stalk cover. Get Dad to give you at

least two shocks of stalks and tell him‘

to leave some 'ears on, for the squir-

rels will be glad of them When the

snow flies. Sharpen the big end of the

pole before you fasten it into the box,

and leave about a foot below the box

togo into the ground, that will make

the shelter firm against the winter

winds. The pole should be tall enough

get the tallest in the field. Now set

the stalks around three sides of the‘;' ~

box and fasten securely to the pole ;.

with wire, slant the stalks so as to _

leave a tent-like opening over the top



of the box. ' ‘



This will give you two tables on

which to 'put the food. if you are a. ,

1eal Carpenter perhaps you will want.

to put a narrow board an around the '

top of the box, so the birds will not '

waste the g1ain.Now for the food for

winter, get all the sunflower heads you ,

can and put them in paper sacks, then'

hang in the attic or. up 'in the barn

where the mice can’t get’ at them. -

One sunflower head put “Lup in the ,

cornstalks will call the first custom- ’

ers to your Lunch Room and when

theyltell others, your advertising is all

done for the winter. If you'live where

the black alder berries grow, get some

branches of these and keep them in

a cool place until real stormy days

come, then your bird-s will'thank you

for‘them. Any kind of grain will do

for f00d, and all kinds of nuts'can be

cracked for them. .It is best to place i

the cornstalk dining hall so it faces '

the house, then you can, watch the

birds as they come each day. Also, it

is a good plan to have the opening ,

tdwa1d the south. That offers more

shelter when it storms. _



Ask your, teacher if she does not

want a cornstalk house in the school ‘

yard. Each pupil could furnish some-

thing toward the food supply. The

001 11sta1k house will be a. source of in-

te1est to old and young all winter, ,

and “a. refuge in time of trouble” for

all the winter birds. . ,

Dear Uncle Frank:



Thank you for the Merry Circle pin

and membership card. I was very de-

lighted to get them.

Although I’m sure that my letter is

going into your waste basket head

over heels, so might as well say, “Hole

10, Old Man,” any room for me?”



I am an orphan, living on my uncle’s

farm. I have been on this farm for

over ten years. I love farming and

driving horses.



I trap for muskrats and skunks. I

think it very fine sport. -



I love all out-door sports, but am not

very mischievous.



Thanking you again for the M. C.

pin and card—Your nephew, Albert

Jackola, M. C., ,Lininga, Mich.



I am'glad you know that one can

be a. real boy without being mischiev-

ous. It’s fine that you like farm life





so well.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have written several times, but I

guess Mr. Waste Paper Basket was

quite hungry then, so they were not

published.



Say, Uncle Frank, did you ever get

real frightened? Wei 1.1 have, and

but finally he discovered that he had

that’s what he smelled. My! but that

was a great relief for my fright.



Well, good-night, it’s my bedtime.—

Another nephew, Arnold Rueckert,

Grand Ledge, Mich, ..3



That certainly must have been a.

scare. It’s a good thing the anticipat-

ed blow-up did not occur.





 





Dear Uncle Frank: .

Before Thanksgiving we had poul- '

t1y-pick1ng bees. week before '

Thanksgiving or Christmas, the wom- *

en here go and help each other pick

their ducks and geese, turkeys and

chickens. The party consists gener-

ally of eight to twelve women and

three or four men to do the butcher-

and no mud. But everybody is \glad .

when the last job is done. .

Honona ‘ .





NSPIRED by the plaudits of an

admiring multitude of momma



modest Barred Rock hen belonging to

L. W. Dunn, of Three Rivers, Michi-

gan, has won the egg-laying honors of

the middle west.

ity of a trap nest at the Michigan Ag-

ricultural College at Lansing, this en-

ergetic hen laid 284 eggs in 365 days.

Her task was unromantic. She was

given no cheer leaders to stimulate

But she played the game

consistently, defeated all other confer-





> once entries and is now the undisput-





ed champion of the west.

Birds of numerous other varieties





contested. Eleven states were repre-’

sented by 120 ditferent pens, including ;





Washington, Oregon and California.





- During the year the referees at the





college witnessed some very credit-





able performances in the production .





of eggs. Several birds managed to

turn out more than 200, and a few

crowded the 250 mark. But the Three

Rivers entrant showed far better nest

generalship than her competitors. Her

variety of plays was no broader but

the few plays she did use were skill-

fully executed. And when the judges

looked over the tabulations her score

of 284 was far and'away the best.

The champion, wearing her laurels

lightly, is now staging some private

performances in a coop at the rear of

the home of her owner. Although she

has been out of chpetition for sev-

eral weeks she still does her daily egg.

And numerous owners of slacking hens

are besieging the owner for permis—

sion to turn their fowls in with the

champion so they may learn and apply

some of the real fine points of egg

production—Chet Shafer.





WHAT A CULLING BEE ACCOM-

PLISHED.





 





N the vicinity of 'WhitegCloud, poul-

try enthusiasts got together andhad

a‘culling bee this fall. ; As a result,

there are probably 1,345 less birds in





' the neighborhood. These birds came





from thirty-two flocks and were the

culls of the 2,400 hens examined.





The huge percentage of culls in this





culling bee is due to the large num-

ber cf old birds and young hens which

were excessively fat because of being

fed too much grains, chiefly corn. To

get the best result in poultry feeding

the ration should have half grain and

half mash, as well as the necessary

green foods.



The elimination of these 1, 300 hens

will not mean much decrease in the

egg production in that community, as

'they were all “star boarders. ” In fact,

the culling will mean a distinct sav-

ing to the community in feed and

labor.



It is figured that most of the 1,300

would be inactive until some time in

April and then would lay aicomparar

tively few eggs when prices are the

lowest.

these hens until that time would be

about ninety cents. Therefore, the

saving on the 1,345 would amount to





$1, 210. This, loss the cost of the cull-_





ing, which was $47. 56, Will mean a. net

saving of $1,162.44. Besides, the farm-

ers will have the use of the money

thiswinter-whidi comes from menu-





. mediate sale ofthe birds.





 





Among the many prizes at the H01-

land Poultry Show, to be held Decem—

ber 12-15, will be twenty silver cups.





 





County Agent Eck'ald, of Van .Buren

county, trap-nested the 500. hens in his

flock during the past year.

O matter what you are feed-

ing your chickens, you can

get more eggs.





Whether you have three hens in

the back yard, or 3000, it will pay

you to do what thousands of suc-

cessful egg producers are doing.

The cost is nothing—because even

a slight‘increase in eggs 'will pay

the bill many times over.





New facts on feeding





Modern study of the diet forhens

has brought outsome amazing facts.

When put into practice on thou-

sands of hens over a period of years,

the results have been equally amaz-

ing. It has been proved that there

are a great number of minor food

necessities that many folks over-

look. No matter how good your

feeds are, these necessities must

be supplied to get a big egg yield.





Take the mash you are now using.

Nomatter how good it is, in all such

diets many of the vital elements

are missing. Hens cannot lay as

heavily or steadily without them.

Mixing in barley, buckwheat,

millet or sunflower improves the

flavor, but they do not make up

all the lacking necessities on which

vigorous health and big produc-

tion depend.



A hen cannot lay half an egg. It

needs certain vital food elements

to form a complete egg or it cannot

lay steadily. Pratts proved the

necessity of these elements fifty-

one years ago. Modern science

now recognizes them all. There

is no other way to make hens lay

for profits.





The secretfof more eggs





Try this experiment. Take the

mash you now have—any kind.

Mix with each 100 lb. lot, 25

cents worth of Pratts Poultry

Regulator. That’s enough regu-

lator for 25 hens for a month.

Count the extra eggs you get:

There’s the secret. Folks who are

making money on eggs have been

doing it for years.



Pratts Poultry Regulator is not

a tonic, medicine or something to

force egg production. It’s simply a

corrective and supplement for any

diet. It is made up of roots,barks,

herbs, rare seeds and an abundance

of the vital minor food essentials

gathered from every quarter of the

globe. It means more eggs from

any mash, because it supplies the

hen with all the elements needed for

GROWERS LOSE WOOL CASE.





_OOL growers and the govern-

ment lost their case in which

they contended that combing wobls,

were intended to be classified under

the general heading of “clothing,

wools” in the Emergency tariff.

The decision, whichvwas made by

Associate Judge Oscar 'E. Bland, of

the United States Court of Appeals,

will result in the loss~of several mil-

lion dollars in revenue to'the govern-

ment as the importers, who appealed

flom the ruling of the board of ap

praisers, will not be required to pay

the duties at the; high rateyaslsessed.

HOGS SELL TO BUYERS’ ADVAN-

TAGE.





 





SURVEY recently completed by



the United States Department of

Agliculture indicates that the sale

pllce of pure- -bred hogs for the first

six months of 1923 were slightly lower

than the average for the

months of 1922. '





The average prices of all ages of

both sows and boars by breeds were





as follows: Duroc-Jersey, $43.20

Hampshile,’ $42.12; Poland‘ ‘Chilid.

$39 35; Chester White, $38. 80,. and'





Berkshil e, $26. 37.





The lower average of Berkshires, it

is explained, was in some meabureduefl

to the fact that sixty-four percent-of

the sales of the breed reportediwere

pigs under eight months old. Very}

few sales of boars over two years old

of all breeds were reported. Prices

obtained at auction sales Were some-.

what higher than those made in pri-

vate. '

HERE is a demand at the present

time for a. good many men to fill

positions in cow testing associations

in Michigan The duties of such men:

are to weigh the milk f1 om each cow

in the several herds and test it for

butter-fat with the Babcock test. The

feed is weighed out for each cow for

one day each month. The tester must

be a man of experience in handling

cows and must have a knowledge of

balanced rations and methods of feed-

ing. The tester goes to each associa-

tion member’s place for one day out

Of each month and makes this one

day record. The, total record for

twelve monthly trips enables him to

give the members a complete record

of production and food costs for each

cow for one year.

Men with experience between the

ages of twenty and forty are preferred

Cream Separator





The new De Laval Separator, which has now been on the market for over a year

and of which there are already more than 100, 000 in use, is acclaimed on all sides as

being the best Dc Laval ever made. That' 15 saying a great deal when it is considered

that Dc Laval Separators



--—havc millions of users who regard them as the finest machines made;



—-—havc won more than 1100 prizes for superiority of operation and construction;



——arc overwhelmingly cndorscd for efficiency of service by cow testers, who reach

over 6000 farms;



-arc used and approved by creamcrymcn, college and dairy authorities;



—and have the longest record of use, as proved by the life of the thousands of ma-

chines in the “Oldest Dc Laval Users Contest,” which averaged over 20 years.

With slich remarkable achicvcmcnts a new Dc Laval must be very



good indeed to be better—and it is. Convince yourself. Ask your Dc

Laval Dealer to show you the new Dc Laval. Try it alongside of any

separator made and you will be convinced of its superiority.



The new Dc Lavals have all the good features of the old, plus:



1 .





Self-Centering Bowl. The De Laval Bowl is so designed as to

center itself when it attains separating speed, eliminating vibra-

tion, which adds to its efficiency and lif c.

2 Light Running. The Dc Laval Bowl is so designed as to shape,

' height, diameter and distribution of weight as to afford the least

possible resistance in bcing revolved, which together with the automatic





oiling system, and superior design and construction of the driving mcch-

mism, rcquircs the least powcr (per pound of capacity) to drive.

WHEAT





While the future of the wheat mar-

ket during the rest of the crop year

remains in doubt, it continues to resist

what appears to be a rather formid-

able battery of bearish forces. Domes—

tic conditions, including a declining

rate of movement from farms and a

shrinking balance available for export

are gradually gaining strength. To

these will presently be added a grad-

ual decline in the amount of wheat in

sight at terminal elevators. These

changes may provide the cue to the

action of the market in the next six

months. During the last few days,

the domestic milling demand for wheat

has improved at a number of markets,

but, in general, mills are believed to

be fairly well stocked up and the flour

trade is rather slow, while the lower

market for wheat feeds also is unfav—

orable. Deliveries of wheat on De-

cember contracts have been smaller

than expected during recent weeks, as

elevators wish to obtain carrying





charges.

CORN





Demand for corn in the commercial

channels from feeders, from shippers

to eastern dairy districts or to the

southeast and from corn industries has

fallen off. Prices have declined around

40 cents a bushel in the last five or

six weeks. It is evident, however, that

the market is near bottom, and prices

have become more stable during the

last few days. Primary receipts of

corn have expanded until they are

much heavier than last year, but ac-

cumulation at terminals has been

mall. Producers are not disposed to

sell quite so freely on the decline, and

loWer prices will stimulate feeding on

the farm. The quality of new corn ar-

riving runs better than expected as

the weather has been favorable for





drying.

' OATS





The visible supply of oats has. de-

clined about tglri

last month rimary receipts are

light and the demand is gaining in

-- trength. Partial closing of the wide

9.155 between corn and oats prices

ems likely to tcke tplace during the

ext six or eight men he .





 





per cent during the’





‘Roughs accesses... op

. Yorkers _..





   





. SEEDS





Red clover-seed prices declined at

Toledo last week. Demand from the

seed trade is rather slow and more

foreign seed was offeied on the ad-

vance during the previous week. Do-





, mestic seed prices are relatively firm





as discriminating buyers prefei it,

even at a big premium over foreign

seed unless the latter is grown in a

climate comparable to our own. It is

rather generally believed that the gov—

ernment’s estimate of the domestic

crop is still too high.





FEEDS





The feed n1a1ket is weak, especially

in the east as consumers are not tak-

ing hold with vigor, even at the lower

p1ices. Offerings in transit are being

pressed for sale. Flour mill operations

continue below the average for this

season of the year. Gluten feed and

hominy have declined as a result of

lower prices for corn. Offerings of

these feeds are rather heavy.





AY





Hay markets were firm last week

with prices 50 cents to $1 higher gen-

erally, although Chicago was lower.

Lower grades which form an unusu-

ally high percentage of the receipts

are moving sluggishly. Country load-

ings have increased slightly since the

producels are less busy with farm

work





POULTRY AND EGGS





Fresh egg prices declined rather

sharply last week. Receipts of eggs at

the leading markets increased, espe-





cially at Chicago, where consumption .





was curtailed by a boycott engineered

by a local newspaper. The movement

of storage eggs has been disappoint-

ing and the situation was aheady

weak because of the large holdings.

The unde1tone was more steady at the

close and fresh egg prices may recov—

er again during the next two or three

weeks. if receipts become lighter once

more and bad weather holds back the

increase in the lay which usually

starts by the first of the year. The re-





. ceipts 01' poult1y have been extremely





heavy. An abundance of tu1keys ar-

lived fo1 the Thanksgiving trade and

pliCes at some points were the lowest

they have been for eight years. More

dressed turkeys were received than

were wanted, the surplus going into

storage and adding to the already

large stocks.

BUTTER





The butter market became firm at

the moderate decline a week ago and

small advances have occurred in the

last few days. Confidence is more

general as the supply- -of fresh avail-

able on the market is not larger than

is moving promptly into consuming

channels. Production reports show no

material change and the winter, in-

crease may not develop for another

thirty days. Withdrawals of butter

from sto1age have been lighter than

last year so far as the four leading

cities are cencerned, but they are. be-

lieved to (have been relatively heavy

from other points. The market is ev-

idently biding its time to determine

the volume of production during the

winter, the size of the remaining re-

serves in storage and the amount of

competition from abroad. Some‘fairly

large shipments were reported either

on the way or contracted for later

shipment. New Zealand is shipping

freely as its flush season is at hand.

Centialized car-lots, 92-score, Chica-

POTATOES





Carlot shipments of potatoes from

producing districts declined nearly

one-third during the last twO weeks.

The Chicago market has. shown a

stronger response to this decline as

it was below the level of markets else-

where. Round whites U. 'S. No. 1 are

quoted at 90c@$1.20 per 100 pounds,





sacked and bulked in Chicago, and at





$1.50@1.65 in eastern cities.





APPLES





The apple markets are inactive as





consuming channels have not fully 'di--





gested the heavy shipments of October

and early November. Prices are low

enough to furnish a stable foundation





and a moderate advance seems likely





to occur as the effect of lighter ship-

ments from the producing sections be-

comes noticeable in receipts at the

leading cities. Mid-western Jonathans

and Northe1n Spies are quoted at $5. 50

(’rD6 a barrel, and Baldwins at $4@4 50

on mid-western consuming markets.

advances of five to ten- per cent over

GRAND RAPIDS ‘





Fresh egg prices in Grand Rapids,

broke with a bang early this week,





falling to 50 cents a. dozen in, two days

as compared with 58 cents, the peak

.before the decline set in. Accumulat-

ed stocks from Thanksgiving unset-

tled the market. The poultry'market

was quiet this week, with some of the





produce houses withdrawing quota-.





tions on turkeys. Fowls remained un-

changed from Thanksgiving, with the

supply ample. Prices continued down-

ward on potatoes, farmers offering tu-

bers at 45 cents a bushel. Omens

bushel, and ap-

ples were in moderate demand. The

leaf lettuce crop was cut clOse to pro-

duction for the Thanksgiving trade.

The resultant light supply has tended

to maintain the market around 12





cents a pound. Radishes were firm at





75 cents a dozen. The bean market

continues demoralized With the trade

apparently neglecting the white varie-

ties. Wheat strengthened this week,

prices at mills advancing five cents a

bushel to 93 cents early this week





DETROIT CITY MARKET





Receipts of- potatoes average eight





cars per day. On the track there are '





about 37 cars holdover, which’ indi-

cates a dull market. Jobbers get $1.40

@150 per 150-lb. sack. Farmersare

averaging 75c per bushel, with demand

light. Around 30 cars of apples are on

track, with demand light, but market

is steady at $1. 25@1. 50 per bushel.

More ordinary stock gets 75c@$1. 05

per bushel. Farmers on their market

get $1.25@2 per bushel Liberal sup-

ply of cabbage. Michigan Danish in

carlots sells for $20 per ton.

tic kinds sell for $13 per ton. Fresh

eggs scarce and sell at 75@900 per

dozen. A moderate supply of chicken

and turkeys, but liberal amounts of

ducks and geese. Spring chickens at

sale and retail 450500; hogs 12@13o

per pound; veal 15@17c.





Cattle prices advanced sharply last

week, chiefly because of a lighter sup-

ply. Combined receipts at the leading

markets dropped below 190, 000 head,

compared with 317, 000 head six weeks





- preViously. The decline in shipments

to the country has fallen but little in ,





that interval so that the net supply

going to slaughterers has contracted





even more drastically than the forego-

RAL HEALTH

" By Dr. C. H Lem'ga





’ ,_~ WOULD HAVE MOLE REMOVED.





 





My mother had a cancer and I am

Very like her. I have a rose mole that

I have had ever since I can remember.

For three months it has been giving

me some pain and enlarging a little.

In view of my mother’s history, do you

think perhaps I- would best have this

-mole removed ?—B. L. B. .



Not in view of- your mother's his-

tory but because of the fact that a

mole that begins to show signs of in-

flammation is significant of possible

cancer, I certainly recommend prompt

action. The mass of evidence is





against cancer being either contag-V





ions or hereditary, but we can take no

chances with a growth that seems to

show signs of malignancy.





USE ELECTRIC NEEDLE FOR

WARTS ON FACE.





Can you tell me if there is any sim-

ple means of 1emoving warts and

moles from the face with safety? If

Isiot,S will the electric needle do it?——





' I would not attempt to remove any

growth on the face by use of a caustic

"or chemical. There is too much risk.

The electric needle will do the work

with safety and very little pain.





ANT|;TOXIN PROTECTION.





Our child was treated with toxin-

anti-toxin about two years ago so as to

make her safe from having diphthe1ia.

£1)ng long does this piotection last?—





It is not possible to lay down any

definite rule and I doubt if it ever will

.be, because children differ as to the

degree of their susceptibility. Toxin-

antitoxin is making a very good rec-

ord' but it is still on trial so far as this

feature is concerned. Your doctor can

give a simple test that will show if the

child is still immune to diphtheria. My

own opinion is that in the average

case the protection lasts much longer

than two years.





NOT CAPABLE OF BEARING CHIL-

DREN.





My daughter has had an operation

and had both ovary tubes removed. I

would like to know if this would hin-

der her from having children, as she

is young and would like children.—

Mrs. M. C.



If both of the fallopian tubes are

removed she will not have children.

The fallopian tube is necessary in the

passage of the egg from ovary to the





uterus.





' EAR TROUBLE—DIGESTION.





I have ringing in my ears all the

time, but worse at times I want to

know what causes it. And what is

best to do for it? I amB also troubled

with indigestion. —-——J. EB



The 1inging in the cars is piobably

due to middle ear disease. It is very

stubborn to treatment, and it is best

to consult an ear specialist. There

are very many different forms of indi-

gestion. The only rule that fits every

one of these is to eat slowly and mas-

ticate thoroughly.





SHOULD ENLARGED TONSILS BE

REMOVED?





’ Do you advise having enlarged ton-

sils removed? Would a child with en-

larged tonsils be apt to have diph-

theria for that reason“? Would enlarg-

edtorgilswbring on bronchial catarrh?



. I do not'believe that tonsils always

need removal because of enlargement.

It 'depends upon the degree in which

r..it:exists. If diseased, however, as

most enlarged tonsils are, they should

be mmoved, and this quite regardless





_‘-of' their size.” Bad tonsils always add .





., to the risk in diphtheria. BrOnchial

f catarrh might come as a sequel to en-

_ l‘arged tonsils, but not necessarily. '
