LETRAC’S crawler construction, its suitable size, great pulling power,
simplicity and economy of operation all appeal to the farmer. The
broad tracks with which Cletracs are equipped furnish plenty of traction
in any kind of soil—no miring down, no “digging in.”
Cletracs, because of the broad tracks on which they travel, are noted
for their splendid work in seed-bed fitting. Cletracs do not pack the soil.
The purchase of a Cletrac is an investment in a crawler tractor of a
size best suited to the all-round power requirements on the farm. e
Five millions of dollars in equipment and a big factory constituting
upwards of five acres of floor space under roof signify the element of
permanency back of Cletracs.
Cletracs, with these and many other advantages of crawler construction,
are now offered at the above new low price.

 

Write for catalog and let us tell you more about the use of Cletracs.

Bannlng the Farm Vegetable Garden

The Planned Garden Gives the Most Satzlfactory Results
By E. P. Lewis

Hill farm garden in Michigan sel-

dom- receives the attention it
, should have. With careful. plan- .

ning and proper care the garden can
be made to furnish a much greater
source of food supply and income than
any other like area on the farm.

In'o'rder to' obtain the best use of
the land and to have a continuous sup
ply it lei-essential that the garden be
planned in advance. Also the work in
planting and caring 7for the crop will
be greatly simplified. This plan should
be carefully drawn on paper with all
details and made a” permanent part of
the equipment. From year to year it
may be altered to 'suit the needs and
desiresvof the owner.

In planning thegarden one of the
first things to consider is the arrange-
ment’wh’ich will rtduce the labor to a
minimum. The vegetables should be
grouped according to, their cultural
methods and the number of plantings
made as small as its consistent with
the temperature requirements of the
various crops. The planting should be-

gin at one’ side of 'the plot with the‘

earliest crops, such’ as onions, lettuce
and peas, and proceed across the area
as the season advances. This makes
it possible to keep the unplanted area
free from weeds and in a moist, friable
condition- .

In the accompanying plan the rows
are all three feet apart with the ex-
ception of the last five, and planted
This

: makes horse cultivation possible and

reduces the turning to a minimum. In
the city or suburban garden, closer

. planting would, of course, be more eco-

nomical of space. In the average farm
garden, however, the time required in

. tending the crop is ’more important

than the conservation of space.
Another important point in a well

, planned garden is the provision for a

continuous supply. This is accomplish-

- ed in two ways; first by the use of
. succession plantings of the same vari-

 

 
 

ety, and second, by planting early,
mid-season. and. late varieties at the
same time. . In the planillustrated
provision is made for a continuous
supply of some of the important vege—
tables. Two‘ plantings of peas are
made, one two weeks after the other,
using early mid-season and late varie-
ties. This makes it possible to have a
fresh edible product throughout the
normal season for peas. Likewise three
varieties of sweet corn, each maturing

not always, however, the best source

at the same time, which covers the
season very nicely. In the same way
provision could be made for a continu-
ous supply of many other vegetables
according to the desires of the indi-
vidual.

One frequent cause of failure in the
home garden is the use of poor seed or
the indiscriminate selection of varie-
ties. There are several sources of
seed supply. The most common for

ditions and are not the highest quality
varieties for the home garden. A much
surer way is to order the seed through
a reputable seed house which makes
a specialty of growing good seed. The
varieties listed in the catalogue should
be carefully studied, the selections
made, the necessary amount of each
kind of seed computed, and the order
placed early.

The problem of selecting varieties

for the home garden is often a very
difficult one for the amateur gardener.
Upon the examination of any seed cat-
alogue one will be confronted with
long lists of varieties of each kind of
vegetable. These are accompanied by
long descriptions of the special merits
of each which mean but little, since

-they all say the same thing. For one

who is not familiar with varieties this
condition is unfortunate. Varieties dif-
fer as much in quality as they do in
size, color and shape. The commer-
cial gardener often sacrifices quality
for such other characteristics as earli-
ness, disease resistance, productivity,
or shipping quality, but the home gard-
ener is primarily interested in the
highest quality possible. As an aid in
the selection of high quality vegeta-
bles for the home garden the follow-
ing list is- presented:

Washington asparagus, Stringless
Green Pod beans, Detroit Dark Red
beets, Copenhagen Market (early) cab-
bage, Danish Ball Head,(late) cabbage,
Chantenay carrot, White Plume (ear-
ly) Giant Pascal (late) celery, Mam-
mid-season, and late varieties at the
tam (mid-season) Evergreen (late)
sweet corn, White Spine cucumber,
Black Beauty eggplant, Grand Rapids
leaf lettuce, May King head lettuce,
Osage muskmelon, Kleckley Sweets
watermelon, Nott’s Excelsior peas,
Scarlet Globe radish, Victoria spinach,
Hubbard winter squash, John Baer to—
mato, White Egg turnip.

Besides planning the garden in the
best way possible and using varieties
of the highest qUality, it is essential
that proper care be given throughout
the entire growing season.

Frequent cultivation to kill weeds
and conserve moisture is necessary.
Many insect and disease pests must be
controlled. But with a little extra
time and money spent the home gar-
den'may be made not only to provide
a large income to the family budget,
but will be a source of satisfaction and
pride’to the owner.

Income tee, made up of mem-o
_ bers representing thr

Tax several farmers’ or-

ganizations of the
state, have agreed on the form of a
proposed amendment of the state con-
stitution, authorizing the enactment of
a graduated income tax law in this
state. The text of this preposed
amendment to section Three of Article
Ten of the constitution reads as fol-
lows:

Section 3. The legislature shall
provide by law a uniform rule of taxa-
tion, except on property paying specific
taxes, and taxes shall be levied on
such property as shall be prescribed
by law. The legislature shall provide
by law a scheme of taxes upon the net
gains, profits and incomes of all citi-
zens and inhabitants of this state,
from Whateve1 sonice said gains, prof-
its and incomes are derived, which tax
shall be graduated and progressive as
follows:

There shall be an exemption of
$4, 000 per annum of all incomes.

Incomes of 119m $4, 000 to $20, 000 per
annum shall be taxed at the rate of
five per centum.

All incomes above $20,000 up to and
including $40,000, shall be taxed at the
rate of six per centum.

A11 incomes above $40,000 up to and
including $60,000, shall be taxed at
the rate of seven per centum.

All incomes above $60,000 up to and
including $80, 000, shall be taxed at the
rate of eight per centum.

All incomes above $80,000 up to and
including $100,000, shall be taxed at
the rate of nine per centum.

All incomes above $100,000 shall be
taxed at the rate of ten per centum.

The Income Tax Law, herein author—
ized shall be administered by a Board
of State Tax commissioners.

All monies paid to a Board of State
Tax Commissioners under the provis-
ions of this Amendment shall be paid
into the State Treasury and shall then
be credited to the general fund of the
State, and shall be used ‘for defraying
the general expenses of the State Gov-
ernment and for the payment of prin-
cipal and interest on State Bonds.

On or before the first day of Septem-
ber of each year, the Auditor General
shall deduct from the total amount di-
rected by the Legislature to be includ—
ed in the State Tax, for that year, the
amount of money received under the
provisions of this amendment and
credited to the general fund of the
State for the current year and the bal-

,' ance if any shall be deemed to consti-
tute the State Tax to be apportioned

among the varibus counties of the
State in accordance with the provis-
ions of the general tax law. ‘

L ‘7 Initiative petitions are now being
circulated in these organizations and
‘ the rural communities of the state for

the submission of this proposed amend-

' been demonstrated in pgevious efforts
to this end. The reason for this atti-

’ ment to the electors of the state at 111162-

general erection neXt November

That the farmers of the state are
practically. a. unit in favoring "the-pas-
sage of'a state income tax law has

tude is obvious. Their property has
high visibility. It gets on the tax rolls
with certainty and regularity. Statis-
tics show" that real estate holdings
represent about thirty-five per cent of
the wealth of the state, against which
is assessed about eighty per cent of all
taxes. In recent years the taxes on
this class of preperty have increased
tremendously. They have doubled, and
redoubled and doubled again in many
cases. And in addition to this the
state has accumulated a bonded in-
debtedness of some $65,000,000 on
which interest must be paid and pro-
vision made to meet the principal,
which means still heavier tax burdens
for the future. There is good reason
why the farmers of the state want a
portion of this burden shifted from
real estate which represents the great
bulk of their holdings.

Objections may be offered to the
form of this amendment which seeks
to fix the rate as well as the principle
of this form of taxation by constitution-
al provision, as well as to the rates
and exemptions fixed in the proposed
amendment. But as it stands it rep«
resents the best judgment of the fed-
erated legislative committee of our
leading farmers’ organizations after a
thorough and careful study of the sit-
uation.

Program Farmers’ Week, given

at the Agricultural
College during the five days ending
February 8. .

Visitors may not have had their van-
ity satisfied, nor their passions arous-
ed by clever jugglers of adjectives, but
they found a lot to take home and
make a real part of their life and bus-
iness.

The program was a sane, sensible,
seasonable, satisfying schedule of ad-
dresses, lectures and discussions,
which 111 go a long way in hélping
farm folks forward to the high ground
of agricultural service.

In the years immediately ahead, it
is plainly evident that self- help will
be the big help in putting individual
farmers on a. compensatory basis. To
get there, those who depend largely
on well directed individual effort, are
the ones who are likely to arrive.

In extending aid to such individuals,
our Farmers' Week program certainly
delivered the goods. So again we say,
congratulations.

Marketmg ciations, but the co-

ops. can not carry
their work through to the ultimate
consumer. Therefore, there remains
that weak point in the marketing sys-
tem after the product is passed by the

coop, or individual farmer, to the dis-

tributor.

The producer is required ‘to meet
every economic need, by law or
through necessity, in the growing,
grading, packing and shipping of his
products, but after they leave his
hands they go to those who are not
required to follow standard practices
in their methods. Right here is the
weakes‘ link in the chain of market-
ing.

To strengthen this link there is be-
ing introduced in congress by Repre-
sentative Hayden, of Arizona, 3; bill
entitled, “Farm Products Trading
Rules Act, " which proposes to author-
ize the secretary of agriculture to es-
tablish and put .in force approved
rules for trading in farm products.

It is shot implied that dealers of

ling and marketing of farm products.

With the market handlers guided by \
similar rules and regulations as the, '

growers of- the products they handle
are, they will become as honest as the
farmer now has to be. And there is
no doubt but that honest food products
grown by honest farmers, packed by
honest people and sold by honest deal-
ers, will be of benefit to all. ‘

We feel sure that it will be of ad-
vantage to Michigan farmers to give a.

and Dept the ‘way some farmers

are short of cash it
seems very convincing that such is the
fact. But a. study of the agricultural
indebtedness as compared with the in-
debtedness of industry makes the con-
trary look true. '

It is estimated that the total agri-
cultural property of the country is
worth seventy billion dollars. The to-
tal amount of farmers’ debt secured by
mortgage is about eleven billion dol-
lars. Thus American agriculture is op-
erated on about fifteen per cent bor-
rowed capital, whereas, industry is run
on over fifty per cent, and sometimes
as high as seventy—five per cent, of bor-
rowed capital.

agriculture is on a much firmer basis
than industry, but while industry has
fewer net assets, it has more ready
cash to work with. The trouble with
the farmer’s situation is that under
present conditions it is hard for him
to convert his assets into cash, and
therefore he often is hard pressed.

Mortgage bankers, insurance compa-
nies and others, however, realize the
situation and consider the. farm mort-
gage a much safer investment than
most other forms because it has real
value behind the investment.

The apparent difference between in-
dustry and farming is that you can
start business on a worn-out shoe-
string, but to start in farming you
need a whole pair of shoes and then
some.

However, with the coming, recogni-
tion ‘of the value of the farm mortgage
and the ability of thefarm to borrow
on his harvested crops he will be able
to work on a larger margin of borrow-
ed money. But, it is our sincere hope
that for the good of the country, and
farming as well, the borrowing facili-
ties of the farmer will not be extended
to a degree which will enable him to
start on the shoe string basis. If that
condition should come, agriculture
would cease to be the bedrock of
America’s prosperity.

0n the outside this valenune is got
the picture of a sweet girl and a red-

at two hearts what is been punctured
by a. arrow, and there is flowers all
around. Looks like the girl is thinkin’
about the arrow, or somethin’ like that.

A Page of Fence History .
w

  

Way back 1n 1883 J. Wallace Page built the first
woven wire fence ever made.

In those days the fence was woven by hand,
and an order for fencing a feedlot looked as big
as an order for fencing a county would look today.
But fences don’ t come any stronger than that
first one was, and twenty— one years later the
owner wrote that it was still as good as ever.

Today big machines make Page Fence. It is shipped
' out by the carload and farmers in every corner of. the
globe who are looking for the most serviceable fence
still find that there is nothing to equal Page.

If you want the most serviceable fence, get it from
your Page dealer.

éy T Izoumndr of Our Farm Folk:

WITH the theme, “The Future of_

Agriculture,” as the keynote
around which the entire program
was built, the annual Farmers’ Week
conferences held during last week at
the Michigan Agricultural College,
gave to .nearly five thousand farmers
who attended the various meetings, a
message of optimism and encourage-'
ment in regard to future conditions.
Men familiar with every phase of
Michigan agriculture took part in the
programs of thevarious sessions, and
Without exception; armed their faith
in the basic soundness of the farming
industry of the state and its ability to
weather satisfactorily the period of de-
pression of recent days. " --
Dr. R. S. Shaw, acting president of
M. A. 0., advanced the fact that'the

(state agricultural college is one of the

two or three agricultural colleges in
the country which has not suffered an
appreciable decrease in enrollment for
this year as an indication that Michi-
gan, for various reasons, has been less
severely affected thah many other
states with recent conditions, and that
our state is among the first to achieve
the road to recovery. _

The two reasons of prime import-
ance for the more favorable condition
of Michigan, according to President
Shaw, are the solid principles of di-

versification which are practiced by-

the farmers of the state, and the fact
that the industrial and financial inter-
ests of Michigan have not suffered de-
pression to a great extent.

Prices of the products of certain of
the agricultural industries of first rank
in Michigan have not reached the low
leifel' of the grain crops of the western
states. Our poultry products, our ex-
tensive dairy industry, our horticultur-
al industry, our bean and“, sugar beet
industries—all these have commanded
returns above those received by grain~
growing farmers, and the extent of
these industries * have scattered the
favorable results into practically every
farm and agricultural community in
the state.

In the financial indebtedness incur-
red during recent conditions by Mich-
igan farmers, our state has been in far
from the most undesirable conditions,
according to the M. A. C. president,
who asserts that a tremendous devel-
opment of the wonderful agricultural
possibilities will follow the depression
period, in mucn the same. manner as
the agricultural development of the
western states succeeded the panics of
the seventies and nineties.

The ultimate balancing of conditions
through a gradual working out of eco-
nomic laws as the method through
which agricultural prosperity must re~

. turn which was advanced by President

Shaw as the necessary procedure, was
concurred in by every prominent
speaker and leader who was present.

Dr. Eugene Davenport, former dean
of agriculture at the University of Illi-
nois, urged the development of a

stronger spirit of cooperation and mu-

tual assistance between the financial
and agricultural interests as a means

of recovering prosperity. He also

showed the necessity of increasing the
degree of efficiency of the farming in-
dustry as a means of arriving at a
state of production above that of the
average of world conditions.
Acquisition of the knowledge of bus-
iness methods and the application of
them to agriculture was urged by
Louis J. Tabor, of Columbus, Ohio,
master of the National ‘Grange, who
“Organize,

standardize, merchandise and adver-

tise,” as the watchword of success,
and asked for “cobperative production

' Producers’

  

through proper grading was empha-
sized ’_by W. P. Hartman, director of
the bureau of foods and standards of
the State. Department of Agriculture,
while Verne Branch, Detroit, director
of municipal markets, pressed the need
for consideration of the time and form
of placing agricultural products upon
the market.

The importance of eliminating bo-
vine tuberculosis in Michigan, and of
making the state “clean” in respect to
this dangerous disease, which was dis»
cussed by ‘H. R. Smith, commissioner
of the National Live Stock Exchange
of Chicago, was emphasized by Dean
Hugh Cabot of the University of Mich-
igan school of medicine. The noted
doctor also pressed the necessity of
eliminating contamination and pollu-
tion of milk and dairy products as a.
means in the wiping out of typhoid
fever and septic throat and other in-
fectious diseases.

M. A. C. department heads also ad-
vanced their beliefs for return to pros-

perous conditions; Professor Gardner,

of the horticultural department, de-
claring for “placing fruit products up4
on the markets at the time, in the
place, and in the form desired by the
consumer,” and pressing the necessity
of greater efficiency in production as
a. means of reducing costs.

Professor Foreman, of the poultry

department, urged the development of '

flocks of hens possessing the charac-
teristic necessary ,for egg-producing,
and the elimination of the “flapper”
and “star boarder” types. The import»
ance 'of dependable seed of knOWn or-
igin and quality was emphasized by
Professor Cox, of the farm- crops de-
partment, while Professor Brown, of
theanimal husbandry department dis-
cussed the value of proper rations and
feeds and the development of the de-
sirable type of live stock.

Professor Reed, of the dairy hus-

bandry department, asserted the value,

of testing work, and the importance
of the development of pure-bled herds
of high- producing animals, with the
elimination of 10W producers

The attendance and interest in the
various breed and crop associations,
and in the extensive and valuable ex~
hibits staged as a very valuable ad-
junct to the speaking program attest-

ed the optimism and confidence of the

farmers in attendance, and their de-
terminatinn to bring the return of
prosperity. ,

Boys’ and girls’ club contests, Smith-
Hughes high school judging contests,
the Housewives’ Congress, conducted
by M. A .C. home economics experts
and specialists, and other features in
addition to the regular farmers’ pro-
gram emphasized the importance and
possibility of improvement of educa-
tional, social and rural home condi—
tions, together with the requisite tech-
nical agricultural progress.

The universal consensus of opinion
of the farmers attending the sessions
and the officials of M. A. C., is that
the 1924 Farmers’ Week fittingly as-
sumes its rank among the most valu-
able of the annual conferences, and
unquestionably ranks as the outstand-
ing event of the year in the movement
toward agricultural progress and pros-
perity in Michigan.

HE greatest profits in sugar beet
growing generally to to growers
who“ get high yields per ‘acre,
but considered from the standpoint of

the return from the average ‘crop, this .

crop gives the largest gross return of
any cash crop grown on an extensive
scale in Michigan Sugar beets are
listed by V. H. Church, crops statisti-
cian of the United States Department
of Agriculture, as ‘being worth $72 per
acre in 1923, exceeding any other cash
crop grown in Michigan. The potato
crop ranks next, with a gross return
of $57 per acre; the bean crop third,
at $31 per acre.

The high acreage valuation of the
sugar beet crop means money to the
grower, pays good return to laborers,
and markedly increases community
wealth. This is the strongest argu-
ment for sugar beets—the high returns
per acre..The net returns to the grow-
er depend, of course, on his ability to
produce at a low cost per ton.

You probably know men who secur-
ed fourteen, sixteen and eighteen tons
per'acre. They were able to make
profits aWay and above that secured
from the average yield. Expenses in-
volved are more or- less fixed—the
rental of land, the cost of preparing
the land, cost of planting, blocking and
thinning, hoeing, cultivating and har-
vesting. The grower who gets the
large yield gets the most profit. Our
average of eight tons per acre is too

low. Every now and then the Creator '

gives us a good season with a result-
ant yield of ten tons.
Large Acre Yields Pay Biggest Profits.
I am sure that with constant atten-
tion to the education of all beet grow-
ers along the line of the best methods
0f production, such as beet growers
employ, we can add two tons per acre
to the average yield, in a very few

years.

Sugar Beets Well Adapted. ~.
The animal acreage in Michigan has
ranged from 73,000 acres in 1922 up to
150,000 acres in 1920. Last year we
came back to 96,000. acres. We are on

the up-grade again.

The soils of Michigan are usually
well suited to the production of beets.
In discussing the possible increase of
sugar beet growing, this point is one
that gives us a firm foundation.‘ Dr.
McCool showed this great acreage to
be very fertile, with large areas of lake
bed ‘soils high in organicmatterncon-
sisting of silt and clay loams with sub-
soils well supplied with lime. A class
of scils ranking as one of the richest

soil. areas of the United States, and

ideally suited to beet growing. ‘A
strong and interesting correlation has
been made between profitable sugar
beet production and ”the seventieth
degree isotherm (line of average tem-

‘ perature) for June, July and August.

This line passes through our sugar
beet area. Had this been known years
ago, it would have prevented the fail-
ure of many. sugar beet factories start-
ed in Pennsylvania, the southern corn
belt and other regions. We get an

ample supply of rainfall for beets mak-

ing. this whole region a great beet reg-

ion from the standpoint of soil, cli-

mate, temperature and rainfall.

Much Sugar.lmported——we Can Grow
Our Own.

There is opportunity to extend the
beet acreage. The acreage in Michi-
gan could easily be~extended to 300,000
acres if needed. The present factor-
ies, with little expansion, could handle
an acreage of at least 200,000. We
are ready for a marked increase in
acreage if economic conditions con-
tinue to demand it.

In considering this .crop, it is in a'

class that is entirely different from
wheat, corn and potatoes. Sugar is
still largely an imported commodity.
We are securing about one—fourth of
our sugar from Hawaii and the Philip—
pines (part of the United States) and
in addition we are importing about
one-fourth from foreign countries.
Sugar is protected by a tariff, which
aids the industry and protects the
grower.

There are no present adequate rea-
sons blocking the reasonable expan-
sion of sugar beet growing in Michi-
gan and in other adapted sugar beet
states. Importation is not necessary.

Domestic Production Stabilizes
Supply.

Another prime reason that I think
growers and people in general should
have in .mind, in regard ”to increasing
the sugar beet crop, is that our sugar
supply is not only more dependable in
time of peace, but in time of war a
highly developed sugar industry is a
great asset in national preparedness.

In the expansion of beets, the larger
part of it can take place in the sugar
beet areas. The lighter soils of Mich-
igan are not as well adapted for profit-
able yields of sugar beets and they
will never be good sugar beet lands.
It is a mistake to encourage the grow—
ing of this crop outside of adapted
areas.

Costs Should Be Lowered.

In producing sugar beets at less cost
per ton, higher yields per acre are
necessary. In the first place, beets
must be grown on the best suited
fields. Pick out those fields that have
the best natural drainage or put your
beets on tile-drained land.

Sugar beets are a. crop that must be
grown in proper rotation, after good
crops of clover, 'meadow or pasture
sods, or alfalfa. The best tonnage of

.beets and the less damage from in-

sects and diseases is usually secured
after fall—plowed clover sod. It is not
always advisable to follow beets im-
mediately after clover. or alfalfa, or
pasture that has been allowed to run
for a long time. It may be advisable
to put‘on a crop of corn or beans to
clean up the weeds and lessen risk of
insect injuries.

Fall-plowed clove/r sod, given ag’ood
dressing of manure, paves the way, as
a rule, for a highly profitable sugar
beet crop. The season often prevents

Five Mistakes

We corrected for you in a Shaving Cream

By V. K. Cassady. Chief Chemist
GENTLEMEN:

The five main complaints men made about some shaving
soaps were theSe:

I—Lather too scanty

_. So we made Palmolive Shaving Cream to multiply itself
1n lather 250 times. A tiny bit—just one—half gram—suffices
for a shave.
2—Slow action
So we made a Shaving Cream to act in one minute.

Within that time the beard absorbs 15% of water. And that
makes a hard beard wax—like.

3—Dries on face

The lather of Palmolive Shaving Cream maintains its
creamy fullness for ten minutes on the face.

4—Hairs lie down
That‘ is due to weak bubbles. Strong bubbles are essential
to support the hairs for cutting. We discovered that fact,
we bel1eve. And Palmolive bubbles are strong.

5—Skin irritation
The blend of palm and olive oils makes Palmolive Shaving
Cream a lotion. It brings one fine after- effects.

Let us prove this

We ask your permission to prove these things—to send
you a tube to try. We are masters of soap making. One of
.our soaps—Palmolive—is the leading toilet soap of the
world.

We have worked hard to excel' 1n a Shaving Cream. We
igadlc up and tested 130 formulas before we attained our
1 ea.

Now Palmolive Shaving Cream is a sensation. Millions
employ it. Tens ofo thousands write to thank us for it.

Do us the kindness to mail this coupon, for your sake
and for ours.

The Unsanitary Germ-Catching Mug
—Don’t Use It '

This condition can’t be helped, because the
Open mug. with its moist soap and brush, cen-
stantly collects dust. This dust, of course, car-
ries germs.

So, if you cut yourself while shaving, a slight
infection is almost sure to follow. It comes
from the unsanitary condition of the lather.

Palmolive shaving cream is kept pure and
safe by its protecting tube This is reason
enough to use it, even if it didn’t give you the
quickest, most comfortable and generally most
satisfactory shave in the world

T be Annual Meeting Held at Farmrr’ Week 2'; Full of

eet

Practzca/ Advice fi7 M zc/zzgan Farmer: ‘ -

HE annual meeting of the Mich-
1gan Crop Improvement Assam.-
ation,; held Lin..connec_tion with

quite as well ‘ attended ' as in former
years, due to adverse weather, was
teeming ‘with interest to Michigan
crop growers. The session on VVed-
nesday consisted of a. program of dis-
cussion on general field seeds; partic-
ularly the clover and alfalfa seed sit-
uation which is so prominent in the
eyes of the farmer today

Professm C. R Megee, in charge of
forage crops investigations at M. A.
C., told of .the recent experiments
which had been conducted with clover
seed coming from various parts of the
world, not only at the Michigan sta-
tion, but at several others throughout
the country. These experiments have
universally shown the adaptability ,of'
Italian seed L. for practically every sec-
tion of the United States. In Michi-
gan, Italian clover is not only suscep-
tible to severe Winter-killing, which
frequently causes the entire loss of
the- stand, but it is also very suscep-
tible to anthracnose, which greatly
curtails its growth and causes a. shrivi
cling of the plant and loss of the
leaves. Clover grown. from Italian seed
rarely produces a second crop in Mich-
igan.

Seed from certain other of the Euro-
pean countries, and one out of six
strains of seed from Chile proved fair-
ly productive in Michigan, but accord-
ing to repbrts on importations of clo-
verseed, practically none is coming
from the. countries which produced
seed adapted to Michigan. Cloverseed
from Oregon has also proven unde-
pendable in this state.

With alfalfa, Grimm and the new
Hardigan, developed at M. A. C., have
proven the most productive. ' In 1923
under very ideal conditions the Grimm
yielded seven tons per acre and the
Hardigan yielded 7.2 tons pe1 acre.

"The Montana common, a good'strain

of seed for Michigan, was somewhat
i‘behind the Grimm, p1 oducmg 6. 3 tons
lper acre under identical conditions,
while the Utah common produced
about; six tons per acre. Seed fiom
the south was very unsatisfactory, the
Hairy Peruvian and the Common from
Arizona producing less than a ten per
acre after having come through two
winters which had caused no injury to
the Grimm or Hardigan stands.

Believes wc Can Greatly Increase Our
Alfalfa Acreage to Advantage.
Professor J. F. Cox, head of the
Farm Crops Department at M. A. C.,
and largely responsible for leading
Michigan to its present enviable con-
dition in so far as alfalfa is concerned,
told of the strides which Michigan
farmers had made in the production of
this crop in the face of the general

’the moSt conservative census figures
showed 334, 000 acres harvested for hay
in 1923, that undoubtedly counting the
new seedings and alfalfa being used
for pasture, Michigan .had .over one-
half million acres of this crop and that
it was his opinion that the state could
well afford to have from one million to
a. million and a half acres of alfalfa.
without danger of over-production.

From experience at M. A. C., accord:

Canadians Emphasize Good Seed.‘

Professor L. H. Newman, Doininibn
Cerealist, in charge of plant breeding,
of Ottawa, Canada, gave the principal
address of theday. The Canadians
have taken a lead in crop improVe—
ment work and for over twenty years
Professor Newman was secretary *of
the Canadian Seed Growers’ Associa—

tion. Professor Newman told how they .

were able to take advantage of their
northern location because of the desir-
ability of northerngrown seed in sec—
tions further south, and it was his be-
lief that Michigan farmers could take
equal advantage of their similar loca-
tion. He outlined the seed standards
as adopted by the Canada seed grow-
ers, standards which have become ‘so
important commercially in that coun-
try that they,have recently been made
legal by the Dominion government.
Many of the standards are similar to
those followed by the Michigan crop
Improvement Association.
Describes ‘Plant Breeding Work.~

Other interesting discussions were
given by H. M. Brown, assistant plant
breeder at M. A. 0., who told of the
time required to bring out a new va-
riety, and D. F. Rainey, extension spe-
cialist in charge of varietal demonstra-
tions, told of the performance of pedi-
greed varieties of grain throughOut
the state. According to an accumula-
tion of years of tests, the most pro-
ductive varieties in tests supervised
by. Mr. Rainey have been the Wolver-
inc and Worthy oats, the W'isconsin
Pedigree and Michigan Black Barbless
barley, the latter particularly for the
the very heavy soils, the Manchu soy-
beans for seed and the Wilson variety
for forage, the Grimm and the Hardi-
gan alfalfa, and the Robust bean, the
latter variety in particular has been
outstanding in its performance, having
averaged five bushels per acre more
than the average of all other varieties
tated, and having no competitor
which has consistently yielded any-
where nearly as much as the Robust
bean.

Many of the objections which elevat-
01 men claim to have against this va-
riety were found to be baseless, since
the variety tests showed. that weather
and harvesting conditions alone caus-

ed poor color and a. wrinkling and -

shriveling of beans. Variety tests
showed this to be just as characteris-
tic of common varieties. as of the R0-
bust. A picker on demonstrationat
M. A. C. during Farmers’ Week hand-
led all kinds of beans with equal fa.-
cility.

two weeks, when warm weather chang-

CHANGES IN .TYPE OF RURAL
‘~ SCHOOLS.

 

ONSOLIDATED schools are in-
creasing in number, according to
reports presented at an educational
conference recently held in Washing-
ton. Data on consolidated schools
‘show that 1,628‘were formed in the
school year 192122: The most accu-
rate figures to be had show that there
were 11,890 consolidated schools in the
United States in 1920. Estimating an
increase of at least 3,000 in the next
two years, there were in 1922 approxi-
mately 15,000 consolidated schools.
Ohio, Indiana and Louisiana each re-
ports over 1,000 such schools.
There were 187,450 one-room schools
reported in 1920. Two years later the
estimated number was 179,450, a de-
crease of 8,501. Most of this decrease
is said to have been due to consolida-
tion. Some of it is due to a natural
grewth of small schools into larger
two and three-room schools.
The amount spent for transportation
was $14,514,544 in 1920, with eight
states not reporting. For 1922 it was
$20,624,805, an increase of more than
$6,000,000, with no reports from eight
states. Ohio spent over $2,000,000 for
school transportation. t

EXTENSION WORK GROWS.

 

N idea of the extent of the exten-
sion work movement in this coun-

try may be gained from the statement
that in'_»1923, a total of $19,000,000 was
spent in extension work by the federal
government, by states ' and county
farm bureaus. In 1914, all .the money
spent injthis movement amounted to
$3,500,000. ‘
’ More than 4,500 persons are now en-
gaged in extension work, of whom
2,200 are county agents, 1,100 are home
demonstration workers, 225 are doing
boys’ and girls’ club work, and 750 are
extension specialists employed cooper-
ativelyby the‘land grant colleges and
office of extension work in the depart-
ment 'of agriculture. '

Of the $19,000,000, upwards of $1,-
100,000 was spent in New York, $630,~

000‘inv Ohio, $660,000 in Pennsylvania,
and $580,000 in Michigan.

N some of the stores of any tow
dollar buys .the necessities 'of life; in others it
buys physical comforts; in still others it buys

pleasures. In thefizrm equipment store theflzrmer’: dollar
buy: the mean: to make many more“ dollars. It buys the
equipment which, like the land itself, is responsible
for his progress and prosperity; When the farmer
invests in modern farm machines, he is really buying
clothing and education, electric lights, automobiles,
radio outfits, etc. , because these things are purchased
with the money made by farm machines.

Of all the stores in town, thefizrm equipment store i:
the one where the farmer get: the greatest return for his
money. This is true not only on the basis of the fore-
going but it is found true also by comparing the prices
paid by the farmer for dillerent articles made of simi—
lar materials.

An interesting comparison has been made by the
Research Department ‘of the National Association of
Farm Equipment Manufacturers. They took, First,
a group of eleven basic farm machines: Sulky plow,
peg tooth harrow, disk harrow, grain drill, corn
cultivator, corn planter, corn sheller, grain binder,
mower, hay rake, and farm Wagon—and, Second, a
list of common articles used on the farm but not classed
as farm equipment. Then they obtained the pound
prices of these articles by dividing the retail prices by
the Weights. The pound-price basis is the only prac-
tical way to compare these articles and it is entirely
fair since the materials go through the same machine
shop and factory processes and are handled by the
same class of labor. Freight to the dealer’s store was
not included, since it applies to all articles the farmer
buys and varies with the distance from point of

_ manufacture.

W...” w fl-..“

The chart below shows the
prices per pound of the basic
farm machines and other ar-
ticles the farmer buys.

 

Ignore for a minute the -
low figure in the big circle
T and study the pound prices of the
miscellaneous articles. You will see
that they range all the way from 14 cent: up
to 3 9, 60 and even 8 I cent: per pound. Yet these

are not high-priced goods; they are ordinary,
everyday articles made of the same materials that
go into farm machines, and the prices are
accepted as fair by all buyers. The articles are of
a standard line sold practically everywhere.

Now note the low average retail price per pound
of farm machines. The average pound price of these
basic machines and implements, needed by every
grain-growing farmer, is less than the lowest in the
other group. Some of these farm machines have com-

 

 

plicated parts in their makeup and all of them are
built to stand years of hard use, yet the average price
theflzrmer pays for these necessary fizrm machine: 2': only
13 cent: per pound.

The above comparisons, which can be du—
plicated in any community in this country,
prove the statement that the farmer pays less
money, pound for pound, for the machines that
do his work than he pays for any other similar
manufactured article he buys.

This shows what farm machines would cost if they were priced like other articles the farmer buys.-

A sulky plow, priced like a wringcr, would cost about $45 MORE

A peg—tooth barrow, priced like a forge, would cost about $30 MORE
A disk harrow, priced like a buck saw, wou
A grain drill, priced like a food chopper, would cost about $390 MORE

A com planter, priced like a forge, would cost about $60 MORE

A com cultivator, priced like a vise, would cost about $40 MORE

A com sheller, priced like a milk can, would cost about $20 MORE

A 7-ft. grain binder, priced like the cheapest automobile, would cost about $200 MORE

REMOVAL OF SILAGE.

 

Can a tenant sell and remove from
a farm his half of ensflage left when
his lease expires? Cdntract states that
no rough feed, such as cornstalks or
straw shall be sold. Is ensilage class-
ed as rough feed when it contains all
the corn grown on the fodder?—C. 0.

it would be no less so when converted

', into ensilage. I am not aware of any

decisibns upon the points and believe

the restriction would prevent the re-

1 moval of the ensilage. —-—Rood.

FEEDING BREEDING EWES.

 

I have 136 head of sheep. They are
due to lamb in January and February
and I have good corn silage, abarley
and pea hay, and alfalfa hay and oats
for feed. Now, how shall I feed and
how many pounds to a sheep?—T. N.

All the feeds you mention are suit-
able for feeding breeding ewes, but I
would not feed eorn silage to excess.
Not more thana moderate feed once a.
day, say one bushel of com silage for
ten sheep. The barley, pea. hay and
alfalfa hay can be fed liberally, giving
them all they will consume without
waste. Oats for a grain food is splen-
did for breeding ‘ewes, in fact is for
all kinds of stock, and they can be fed
liberally if you desire to do so. It is
not necessary to grind oats for sheep.
A small amount of oil meal with oats
would help furnish a little more de-
sired protein in the feed. Ten pounds
of grain per day per 1,000 pounds live
weight would be a good liberal ration
for these breeding ewes.

LAW ON LINE FENCE.

 

What is the law regarding line fenc-
es? Does each party have to build his
fence to keep out sheep?——-A. L D.

The statutory definition of the legal
fences Compiled Laws 1915, Section
2206, does not declare what animals
shall be excluded thereby, but the III-
preme court in interpreting the stat-
utes has said that a. legal fence is in-
tended to be such as would turn the
domestic animals usually kept on
farms. It is therefore believed that
upon the division of aline fence that
respective occupants are entitled to
such a. fence as will turn sheep-v?-

~AUTHOR|TY FOR CATTLE TESTS.

 

Is there any state law to force a
farmer to let the state au.hority test
his cattle, against his wishes? We un-
derstand that this testing is all a graft.
Is there any dangerof inoculating tu-
berculosis from one to the other with
their method of testing? We under-
stand there is danger. —-W.E N.

Public Acts 1919, No. 181, as amend-
ed by Public Acts 1921, No. 286, cm-

in sugar beets last fall, and I had first
intended to sow outs in spring as it is

On fertile land in good condition,
beans may follow beets with profitable
results The practice is not one to be

recommended as. a common practice, .

since it often exhausts the soil fertility
rapidly to follow cultivated crops in
succession.

COVERT LAW IN FORCE?

 

Is the Covert road law still in force?
If so, how far each way from the road
do they tax? Do they have to get a
per cent of all those taxed, or just a.
per cent of those living or owning land

cent of taxpayers do they have to get
for it to carry? Are we taxed on the
amount land is assessed for, or so
much per acre ?—-E. H D

not find that it was repealed or other-

soy—’3 EANS.

 

How about soy-beans in Oakland
county, and what variety will do best
and ripen? Do they require as good
soil asnther beans? I would like some-
thing to build up the soil and produce
a lot of cow feed. Would they. make a
paying crop to thresh, and they will
stand up‘ so you can cut them with a.
mowing machine ?———H. P

Adapted varieties of soy-beans are
well suited to growing in Oakland
county. The Manchu is the highest
yielding, both for seed and forage.
Next to it is the Michigan-grown Ito
San and Black Eyebrow. '

Soy-beans are very similar in their
soil requirements to the common been
but are frequently grown on poorer
land for soil improvement purposes.
For feeding purposes, they can best be
handled as a hay crop, planting from
six peeks to two bushels per acre with
an ordinary grain drill on clean
ground. If ground is weedy, drill in
rows twenty-eight inches apart, and
cultivate, using one bushel of. seed per
acre. ' For hay, soy-beans should be
cut when the podsvare formed and be-
ginning to fill. They can best be cut
with a mowing machine. The crop is
cured for hay in much the same way
as alfalfa. is handled, allowing to wilt
in the swath and throwing into wind-
rows or small cooks for curing.‘

For grain, yields of from fourteen to
twenty—four bushelg can be expected,
according to the fertility of the land.

and other large religious organiza-
tions are making efforts to raise funds
for the relief of the starving children
of Germany. The German-government
has been trying to negotiate the pur-
chase of vast quantities of foodstuffs
in the United States to feed the Ger-
man people, but is forbidden to make
such a deal without the consent of the
reparations commission. According to
Dr. Hess, who was with the commis-
sion for several years, and is now in
this country, the reparations commis-
sion is largely composed of politicians
who are playing politics instead, of at-
tempting to reach a settlement that
would be fair to all the nations inter-
ested, and it is not likely that they
will give their consent to the proposal
of Germany to buy foodstuffs in
America.

PRESIDENT'S com-Ensues.

 

' UPWARDS of eighty bankers, farm

organization leaders and farmers

‘ attended the President’s conference on

February 4 to consider the agricultural
and financial needs of the northwest.

President Coolidge told the confer-
ence that he was in favor of any sound
measures of relief that could be de-
viced, Among the steps which he said
the federal government could take as
its share of the work to be done, was
the enactment of the Norbeck- Burt-
ness bill providing an appropriation for
the purpose of promoting the diversifi-

‘cation of agriculture in certain sec-
tions of the country which heretofore .

have been devoted primarily to the
production of wheat, enabling the
farmers to purchase live stock 'and
poultry, and thus equip their farms
for dalrying and general farming; and
extending the time during which the
War. Finance Corporation may make
advances for agricultural purposes to
the end of the present calendar year.

IMMIGRATION BILL.

 

SELECTIVE immigration bill

which will form the basis of immi-
gration legislation during this sesSion
of congress, has been reported favor-
ably to the house by the immigration
committee. This bill would restrict
immigration -to this country to two
per cent of the foreign born of each
nation here in 1890. But each nation
will be allowed a quota of 200 immi-

grants ln addition to the two per cent

basis. .

This bill provides that all prospec-
tive immigrants shall get certificates
of entry from United States consuls
before embarking, which will insure a.
selective' system. Persons not eligible
to citizenship would be excluded. The
number of immigrants would be limit-
ed to 169,093 annually, instead of the
357,000 as at present.

PROH IBITION FAVORED.

HE eighteenth amendment and
prohibition enforcement are still
strongly favored in congress. The

house has approved a section ,of the

treasury appropriation bill providing
$10,629,770 for prohibition enforce—
inent during the coming fiscal year.
This is $1,629,770 more than has been
available for enforcement of the Vol-
stead act this fiscal year. An attempt
by the “wet” forces to amend the bill
was lost by a vote of fifty-three to
three.

PESSIMISM HURTS.

 

N contradiction to the wails of dis-

tress coming from the northwest,
there were conservative bankers and
farmer representatives who frankly
stated that the spring wheat belt was
being hurt worse by pessimistic adver-
tising than by anything else; that
most of the bank failures were due to
bad management; that there were too
many marginal farmers on marginal
farms; that the farmer’s troubles were
quite largely a state of mind; that the
real farmers were helping themselves
back' to pre-war stability and did not
want government aid through such
proposals as the Burtness-Norbeck bill.

The pessimistic stories of agricul-_

tural distress in the'northwest are re-
sulting'in loss of confidence in the 10—
cal banks, and the people are with-
drawing their deposits and buying
treasury certificates or. hiding their
money, thus further crippling the bank—
ing resources of that part of the
country. -

To counteract this tendency the sale
of treasury savings certificates in sev-
enteen western states has '
ped by Fountain-General ..

GREAT deal of success in raising
early lambs lies with the care and
feeding of the ewes during. the time
just previous to and just after the
lambs are born. A sheep is not a diffi-

.. cult animal to raise or ‘feed when the

proper management is followed, in
fact, I kfiowof no'animal that requires
so little attention for the net return
received for both the feed (and labor
put into it.

One practice we have always tried
to follow with the breeding ewes was
to provide them with stalk pasture all

so well when kept housed all winter.
They require plenty of exercise in the
open to properly develop the fetus, but
we always provide shelter for them

during rainy and snowy weather or ex—'

tremely severe cold. That 'is just as
essential as keeping them out in the
open in good weather, for if the fleeces
get very~wet and they are then housed
they take very heavy colds from which
they do not quickly recover.

If the stalk pasture is good they re-
quire little else except plenty of salt
and perhaps some clover hay. We feed
very little if any corn, because it pro-

W. Hempy, of Ingham county, is prob

States. He weighs over two tons and

poses.

 

 

duces excessive fat, limiting any grain
feeding to oats. Ewes in thin flesh,
however, need some corn or suflicient
other grain to put them in good flesh,
and plenty of clover hay. Sheaf oats
is an excellent Winter feed for sheep.
As we sow plenty of soy-beans with
our corn we find that during the win-
ter the ewes will pick up many of
them in the stalk fields which supplies
a ood quantity of protein in their
fee . Many of the soy-bean plants will
stand up during the winter and retain
a. good many beans in the pods.

Two to three weeksbefore the lambs
are due to arrive we like to give a
good feed of oats. to the ewes each
day so that they will provide plenty of
milk for the new-born lambs which, if
they happen to be twins or triplets,
will demand a great deal of milk to
start them off right. We have never

found any feed that would answer this .

purpose so well as oats, because of
their combined bulkiness and protein
Content. Then they also help to de—
velop a strong lamb which will require
little close attention after it has re—
ceived its fifth or sixth meal. I would
rather feed corn after the lambs ar—
rive than before, though if too much
is fed it has a tendency to make them
lose their wool.——J. L. Justice.

HANDLING BULLS.

d

 

T is usually a so—called “géntle”~bull
that hurts people. This is because
more precaution is taken with an ugly
bull than a tame one. . A “gentle” bull

“is likely to suddenly become ugly and

if he is not properly secured he will
hurt someone,

Two things are worth observing in
handling mature bulls. First, make
their environment such that they are
not likely to become ugly, and second,
have them where they can’t do any

damage if they do get mad.
' The ideal conditions are to ' have >
efln‘f'plez‘ity ofexercise in a stout enclosure,

a chance to see other cattle, good r‘a-
tions, and gentle but firm handling,

Good Seed-Beds Lesson Production
Costs. _ ‘

The cultipacker and roller are nec-
essary implements in preparing the
seed—bed for beets. The crop starts
best on a seed-bed which is firm and
well compacted, with the lower part
of the furrow slice well firmed and the
surface in a fine condition of tilth. If
the seed-bed is cloddy, 3. spotted stand
will result. The thorough fitting of
the seed-bed reduces the cost of weed
control. Proper harrowing gets weeds
just when they start to grow,‘ and
greatly reduces the number which
must be killed later by cultivating and
hoeing.

is when the seed—bed is well warmed
up—from the fifth to the twentieth of
May, in most Michigan beet areas.
Many like to get their plantings made
just a little ahead of the corn planting
time. The sugar beet stands more
frost than most plants and there is
ample chance for a. replant. Early crop
failures are rare, but when they do
occur, can be followed with beans or
corn. In Michigan fifteen to twenty
pounds of sugar beet seed is usually
planted in rows twenty to twenty-four
inches apart.

The matter of blocking and thinning
needs more careful attention.
erage laborer who is doing the work
wants to cover as much ground as he
can. Block to the best bunches and
thin to the strongest plants, ten to
twelve inches apart in the row. “There
is a. possible reduction of two or three
tons in the crop if carelessness is al-
lowed in blocking and thinning.

Use Enough of the Right Fertilizer.

The men who are making the most
from beets are making good use of fer-
tilizers. The main point is to use
enough—250 to 500 pounds instead of
the usual 100 to 150 pounds. Use a.
high-grade, complete fertilizer—or if
ample manure is used, 300 pounfi of
acid phosphate. Let us base our judg-
ment on field tests and buy the best
grade of fertilizers made. The big
thing is to use enough fertilizer for
the most profitable returns.

The control of sugar beet diseases
and insect pests is not difficult in this
area if proper cultural methods are

L

practically impossible but with proper
fertilization on well-drained soil, there
is much less loss. .Good rotations and
the growing of beets not too frequent-
ly on" land, will control insect pests
and sugar beet diseases.

The Best Methods of Growing Beets
Should be Common Practices.

A campaign directed along the line
of the best methods of growing sugar
beets is necessary. Fall and early
spring plowing, best methods of pre-
paring the seed-bed,'fertilization, grow-
ing in rotation, etc. ‘The best growers
know and employ these methods;'get
them to. all growers and the crop will
grow in strength. '

The practices necessary. for ”,the
most profitable production \of the sugar
beet crop, benefit other crops in rota-
tion. You do not get all of your re-
turn out of the beets—you get a. good
return out of the following crop for
the beet crop cleans up the land,
leaves a. fertility residue, provides an
excellent seed—bed for small grains and
clover seeding made with them.

_ One point often brought forth by

those who, for some reason, are an-
tagonistic to beets, is that sugar beets
take large amounts of plant food from
the soil. Sugar beets take less nitro-
gen from the soil than potatoes. A
‘ ZOO-bushel (sir ton) .crop of potatoes

fakes 47.0'pounds of ni‘trogentrom the

. soil," 76.5 pounds 4 of: potash and 21.5

pounds at phosphoric acid. A terrific.
per-acre crOp of beets removes thirty
pounds of nitrogep,'seventy pounds of
potash and fourteen, pounds of phos-
phoric acid. . '
Apparently beets take out slightly
They
take out less phosphoric acid, and less
nitrogen. If the pulp goes back on the
land, or manure from "feeding it, the
beet crop takes away less fertility
than any other crop groWn in Michi-
gan. Return the tops or feed them to

the live stock, return the manure and

sugar beet pulp and grow clover or
alfalfa in rotation and thus keep the
land in good shape. ' ’

Like the corn crop, beets need good
land; they need organic matter and
nitrogen and should'not be grown con-
tinuously. The sugar beet is an im-
portant crop in the rotation and if
properly handled is really an introduc-
tion to better methods of farming. The
crop is one that automatically will
make a man a. good manager.

In order to handle the beet crop
right he should fertilize properly and
lime soils where acid. Refuse lime
from the sugar factory is a valuable
source of lime. Another thing that he
must do is to grow this crop in rota-
tion, the beet crop occurring every
five or six years. The sugar beet
grower will find it advisable to couple
beet growing'with live stock raising,
to feed the tops and supply manure
for thejcrop.

He will find that this crop aids in
getting rid of weeds. Beets are just
about as effective and much more prof-
itable than summer fallowing in clean-
ing up weeds. As a. weed—cleaning
crop it ranks as one of the most ef-
fective. As a cash crop sugar beets
bring good returns, greater than any
other cultural crop and made more
dependable by the contract guaranty. .

There is much to say in favor of
beet growing on soil areas where the
crop is adapted. As long as our home
markets need more homegrown sugar,
the sugar beet‘crop rightly handled
will stand forth as a community build.
er—furnishing profit to growers and
laborers, maintaining large industries,
increasing the material welfare of
communities and contributing toward
national stability and independence. '

 

HOLSTEJN ASSOCIATION FORMED.

 

HE Danforth Holstein-Friesian As-

sociation of Delta. " county, has
completed organization. The organi-
zation is interesting as representinga.
combination of farmers' of the Dan-
forth settlement of Delta. county, and
business men of Escanaba in a co-
operative arrangemen't whereby bust.
ness men assist in the financing of an
improved dairy movement in that coun-
ty. The Escanaba. Chamber of Com.
merce has been active in promoting
the association. It is stated that nine-
ty-nine shares of stock were represent.-
ed at the organization meeting. It
was also announced that ,Mr. J. G.
Hays, Holstein extension specialist for
the Michigan Agricultural College and
for the Michigan Holstein-Friesian As-
sociation, will select and purchase the
cows that will be bought by the asso-
elation—Chase.

Wallace Fulton says that daylight
saving is a great benefit to farmers
that live on state roads. ' It makes the
city tellers drive home and, go to bed
earlier. They‘think it’s midnight when
it’s only eleven o’clock and this stops
the requests for gas, oil, tire pumps
and telephone' service about an hour
earlier than under the old time—Sun-
shine Hollow.

a. dozen years of successful operation
by the Litchfield Dairy Association.
The success is due in large measure,
to the progressive spirit of the stock-
holders, to the faithfulness and busi-
ness ability of the directors, and to
the energy and efficiency of the man-
ager and the butter maker. C. S.
Bater has held the position of manager
for nearly seven years. Fred C. Mer-
genthaler has been the butter maker
for about five years. In a. truly co-
operative spirit, these two men have
worked always for the best interests
of the association.

In the past, much of the butter made
by the association has been packed in
tubs for shipment. In the new plant,
practically the entire output will be
put up in pound prints. It is expected
that this improvement alone will, in
time, result in increased profits suffi-
cient to pay the cost of the new
building.

Litchfield creamery butter is so well
known for its excellence, that there is
always a. demand for the entire out-
put, at the highest market price. Dur—
ing the late war, the concern made:

 

ed States Navy. .
Its Effect Upon Dai'ry Farming.
No account of the achievements of
the Litchfield Dairy Association would
be complete without mention of the
effect which the organization has ex-
erted on the dairy phase of general
farming. The tendency among local
farmers is to keep more and better
cows. Some of the finest herds of
pure-blood Jerseys to be found in Mich—
igan, are owned by Litch‘field farmers.
The new creamery with capacity of
more than a million pounds of butter
per year, and with its ability to com—
mand the highest price at all times,
will tend, more than ever, to augment
the dairy business among local

farmers. -

According to the thirteenth annual
report of the'Litchfield Dairy Associa-
tion, recently issued, the concern did
a business last. year amounting to
$333,000. The /total output of butter
amounted to nearly three quarters of
a million pounds. The price received
for butter during the year ranged
from' forty-three to sixty cents. The
average price paid for butter-fat was
fifty-one cents. Cost of making per
pound of butter, 3.65 cents. Average
over-run for the year, 23.2 per cent.

Buy tires as you

All horses have - four legs. All tires are
made up of rubber and layers of cotton cord
or fabric.

But all horses are not equally valuable—4
and neither are all tires.

A horse of good blood and breeding is
naturally worth more than a “plug.” If you
were offered your choice at the same price
there isn’t any doubt which one you would
take.

Why’ not ~buy tires with the same sound
judgment?

For a quarter of a century. Kelly-Spring-
field tires have been recognized as ”the
“blooded stock” of the tire world. The
Kelly tires of‘ today are the best we have
ever made, yet now, because of greatly in-
creased production in our huge new plant,

Poor replacement parts can
ruin a good mechanical Job

When your engine needs re-conditioning it pays to use the
best replacement parts you can buy. The new low prices
on McQuay-Norris Leak-Proof and Supero 1 rings put
them within reach of everyone. For examp e, the Leak-
Proof and Superoyl combination for such cars as Fords and
Chevrolets is now only $8.00.

  

And when replacement is needed on the other vital units of
your engine—pistons, piston pins and bearings, it Will pay
you to see that they are of McQuay-Norris make. McQuay-
Norris products have always been the highest standard of
quality. In design, material, accuracy of manufacture and
satisfactory service they have been leaders for years.

Made in all sizes and! over-sizes for every make and model
of engine, automobile, truck, tractor, stationary engine, etc.
Dealers ever where either have McQuay-Norris replacement
parts in stoc or can get them immediately for you.

. q AN EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY.

IRON county owns eighty acres, of‘
land adjacent ,to state trunkline
No: 12, between Crystal Falls and Iron
River. This is a sandy stretch origi-
nally acquired by the county for grav-
el. It was once timbered but has been
logged off and fire-swept, but the coun-
ty intends to restore its forest cover
if- possible‘. -

From the Michigan Department of
Conservation there was secured 3,500.

- white pine transplants six years old,

which have been planted on a piece of
lane three and one-half acres in ex-
tent, rowed six feet each way. These
young trees were set out late in May»

' . and early in June at last year, which.
.is somewhat later than would have

been the case had the undertaking
been started sooner.

The earliest plantings suffered some-
what from drought but late in Septem-
ber an examination of the tract indi-

. cated that about sixty per cent of the
. trees were still alive.

The cost of this effort at reforesta-
tion is given as follows: For the
transplants, $35; for transportation,
$60.93. Labor and other items bring

- the aggregate expense up to $206.74.

This cost, it is stated, would have been
reduced somewhat if more experienc-
ed- labor had been procurable and had
less pains been taken to row the trees.

It is pointed out that the express
charges on the shipment of these trees
from the state tree nursery in the
southern peninsula was nearly twice
the cost of the trees themselves and
this is taken to indicate that, if refer?
estation— is to be pushed in this way
in the Upper Peninsula, it is desirable
that a. tree nursery should be estab-
lished at the Straits, as has been done
in the case of the agricultural experir
ment station. The Iron County Board
of Park Commissioners has now been
placed in charge of this forest tract,
with'directions to maintain a fire:
break and re-plant where this is neces-
sary, next season.

HOW To STORE SODATOL.

 

HOSE who did not use up their
last year’s stock of sodatol~ are
advised by Mr. Livingston, land-clear-

ventilated place. It should not be
placed in a rootpellar or other‘damp
place. Moisture deteriorates sodatol,
but freezing does not hurt it and it
ought not to undergo a thawing-out
process, says Mr. Livingston. The man
who thawed some sodatol by hanging
it in a. pail over a, fire is gone to the
happy hunting-grounds in several piec-
es, it is reported.

WILL HAVE TESTS MADE, HOW- '
EVER.

 

THE expense of maintaining a cow

. tester has discouraged Dickinson
’county farmersand the cow-testing as-
sociation there has been discontinued,
it is reported. This does not mean,
however, that there will be no testing
in this county, for arrangements have
been made whereby the county agri-
cultural agent, Mr. Arthur" Lonsdorf,
will conduct tests at a nominal cost'of
five Cents per cow per month. Farm-
ers will weigh and sample their milk
each month. These samples, with feed
records, will be assembled by the
agent each month, who will test them
and report to the farmer furnishing
them. The fee charged simply covers
the cost of acids, etc, used in the
tests;

. SIRUP CONSISTENCY.

 

VEN if the law didn’t require it,
, common sense would tell you to
have maple sirup weigh not less than
eleven pounds to the gallon. If the
sirup is lighter than that, it will be
too thin, and will ferment and sour"
while if it is heavier, it will be t
thick and will crystallize. ' ‘
“How can I tell when my sirup
weighs just right?” you ask. ' >
Simple enough. You should have a
thermometer—not the kind you hang

on the side of the‘house to tell the ,

temperature of the air, but a. thermom-
eter made specially' for telling the tem-
perature of boiling liquids." Your drug-
gist can‘ get you one, or you can order
it from a. mail order house.

With this thermometer, note at what
temperature water boils in your local-
ity. The school books say 212 degrees
F., but it will boil at a. lower tempera-
ture if you are up in the mountains.
Add seventy degrees F. to the temper-
ature of boiling water, and this will be
the temperaturelof boiling sirup that
weighs eleven pounds to the gallon. It
isa pretty wise plan to have the sirup
a. little heavier than eleven pounds, so
add about one-fifth of adegree more.
So, if water boils at 212 degrees F.,
the temperature ofithe [boiling sirup
should be 219:1-5 degrees F. This sirup
will weigh 11.15 pounds to the gallon.

A Baume hydrometer, which you can
get from the same source as the ther-
mometer, will indicate the weight of
sirup. Insert the hydrometer in the
sirup and let it float. The depth to
which it sinks indicates the density of
the liquid. It is not best to use the
hydrometer in boiling sirup. Here are
readings, for 11.15-pound sirup at dif-
ferent temperatures: .

At 60 degrees F., the. reading is 37.1;
at 70 degrees F., 37.4; at 80 degrees F.,
37.6;at 200tdegrees F., 40.3; at 219
degrees‘F., 41.3.

If you 'are shipping sirup outside
your state, your label should state the
net weight in the,container. There is

likely to be shrinkage in weight of

sugar‘bet'ween the time it is packed

 
 
  

and“ the time it is presented for Ship-

Oileumlsmn for

Scale COntrOl
By L. R. Tafl

URING the past, season the lubri-
cating oil emulsion has been ex-
tensively used by fruit growers
in Michigan, and even more generally
in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ar-
kansas where 'the San Jose scale is
very difficult to centre] with lime—sul-
phur solution. Not only were the re-
sults obtained "from the use of lubri-
cating oil emulsion very satisfactory,
but it is a; cheaper spray than lime-
sulphur solution. It is also far more
pleasant to apply than lime-sulphur
solution of the dormant strength.

New Method Satisfactory.

While we still regard two per cent
lubricating oil emulsion prepared with
liquid potash fish' oil soap to be all
that has been claimed for it, it has
been found during the past year that
a. slight modification in the method of
preparing it reduces both the cost and
labor required without lessening its
efficiency. In fact, it gives a more
stable emulsion.

The lubricating oil, rather than the
soap, is the active scalecide, and Prof.
A. M. Burroughs, of the Missouri Ex-
periment Station, has found that a
very weak Bordeaux mixture alone will
act as the emulsifying agent and that
there is no occasion for using soap of
any kind. Boiling of the mixture is
not required. All that is needed is to
mix lubricating oil and Bordeaux mix-
ture and emulsify in the same way as
when soap is used.

Formula for Stock Emulsion.

20 gallons; copper sulphate (blue
vitriol), 2 to 5 pounds; hydrated lime,
4 to 8 pounds; water, 10 gallons.

Especially if a considerable quantity
of emulsion is to be used, it will be
worth while to make a stock solution
of copper sulphate in the same man—
ner as when preparing Bordeaux mix-
ture. This is done by suspending
twenty-five pounds of copper sulphate
in a coarse sack, free from lint, in a.
barrel containing twenty—five gallons
'of water so that it will hang just be—
low the surface. Especially if in small
crystals, it will dissolve in twelve to
fifteen hours and will give a solution
containing one pound in each gallon.

Making Stock Emulsion.
To make the stock emulsion, place

gine oil in a barrel and add eight
pounds of hydrated lime, which has
been made into a paste with five gal-
lons of water and five gallons of stock
solution of copper sulphate. The ma—
terials should then be thoroughly mix-
ed, either with a paddle or by pumping
back into the barrel through a nozzle
with a large orifice. The emulsion
should be made by pumping the mix—
ture into another barrel or tank. A
fine nozzle should be used for this,

When copper sulphate is used the
emulsifying shOuld begin at once. Run-
ning it once through a' pump will an-
swer, but twicewill be better, though
if: any of the oil separates it will only
be necessary to repeat the operation.
When ready to use the emulsion, add
six gallons to 200 gallons of water,
making sure they are thoroughly mix-
ed before'spraying begins.
Best Time For Spraying.
' If an orchard is badly infested with

z‘

’ San Jose scale it will be advisable to

spray the trees with lubricating oil
emulsion, either in the fall after the

‘ “leaves haVe dropped, or early in the
‘ - spring, to be followed with a second

boomed about the cabin, singing queer

.while Houston wiped them, joking,

talking of everything but the troubles
of the day and the plans of the night.
Outside the shadows grew heavier, fin-

ally to turn to pitch darkness. Ba’-
tiste walked to the door.

“Bon! Good!” he exclaimed. “The
sky, he is full of cloud’. The star, he

do not shine. Ben! Ba’ teese shall go!"

And with a final wave of the hand,
still keeping his journey a mystery,
he went forth into the night.

Long Houston waited for his return,
but he did not come. The old, creak-
1ng,clock on the rustic ledge ticked
away the minutes and the hours until
midnight, but still no crunching of
gravel relieved his anxious ears, still

stare at them, striving studiously to
make out the writing.

. V AFTER THE SALE
’ ~ By Al' Rice

We’re all alone; the fam’ly ties
Are broken and forlorn;

We’ve sold our farming equities;
The stock and hay and corn:—

We’rc counting up the kale, ,

It llfeless seems, but fairly screams
A protest to the sale.

“The sale was good,” the neighbors say,
Who came, three hundred strong,‘

To hear the vendor bark and bray
And sing his selling song.‘

They think of it as we should do,

But somehow can’t just get the slant;
The sale has made us blue.

“Old Spot,” the barking auctioneer,
Declared, “a cow of fame,"

It brings to us a feeling queer
To softly speak her name.

We sold her, anyhow.

The price we got for good Old Spot,
Won’t bring us back our cow.

- And Rover’s gone,’
, For collie dogs, like sheep and bags,

The money that we're counting now
Is all we have to show

For horses, pigs and sheep and cow,
The friends we used to know.

no town to harm;

Should stay upon the farm .........

Old Rover gives me deepest pain;
A watchful friend was he:

Somewhere he’s fastened to a chain
And mourning now for me.

He doesn’t understand the part

That brings a friendship to an end
And breaks a collie's heart.

Oh, yes, the sale was pretty good,
In dollars, I'll allow;
But we’ re not feeling as we should,
For we are lonely now. ,'
The dollars somehow fall to charm:—
The auctioneer has sold us clear,
And we must leave the farm. .

 

 

is no one aroun’. Ba’teese he go
through a window. Ba teese, he find
heem—in a file. And he b1ing back
the copy.”

“Then———”

“M’sieu Houston, he too will bid.
But he will make it lower. And this,”
he tapped the scribbled scraps of pa-
per, “is cheaper than any one else. Eet
is because of the location. M’sieu
Houston—he know what they bid. He
will make eet cheaper.”

“But what with, Ba’tiste? We
haven’t a mill to saw the stuff, in the
first place. This ramshackle thing
we’re setting up now couldn’t even be-
gin to turn out the ties alone. The
bid calls for ten thousand laid down
at Tabernacle, the first of June.‘ We
might do that, but how on earth would
we ever keep up with the rest? The
boxings, the rough lumber, the two by
fourteen’s finished, the dropped sid-
ings and grooved ioofing, and lath and
ceiling and rough fencings and all the
rest? What on earth will we do it
with?” 1

“What with?” Ba’tiste waved an
arm grandiloquently. “With the fu-
ture!”

“It’s taking the longest kind of a
chance—” .

“Ah, oui! But the man who is

ber, nor flume, nor resources to com-
plete!

CHAPTER XV.

IME dragged after that.‘ Once the

bid was on its way to Chicago,
there was nothing to do but wait. It
was a delay which lengthen‘ed from
June until July, thence into late sum-
mer and early autumn, while the hills
turned brown with the colorings of
the aspens, while Mount Taluchen and
its surroundings once .more became
grim and forbidding with the early fall‘
of snow.

The time for the opening of the bids
had passed, far in the distance, but
there had come no word. Ba’tiste,
long since taken into as much of a
partnership agreement as was possi-
ble, went day after day to the post
office, only to return empty-handed,
while Houston watched with mo1e in-
tensity than eve1 the commercial col-
umns of the 11'. mber journals in the
fear that the cont1act, after all, had
gone somewhere else. But no notice
appeared. Nothing but blankness as
concerned the plans of «the Mountain
plains and Salt 'Lake Railroad.

'Medaine he saw but seldomwthen

might not be the first consignment of
ties for the fulfillment of the contract.
But day after day he realized that he
was all but beaten.

His arm had healed now and return-
ed tov the strength. that had existed
before the fracture. Far greater in
strength, in fact, for Houston had tak-
en his place in the woods side by side
with the few lumberjacks- whom hé
could afford to carry on his payroll.
There, at least, he had right of way.
He had sold only stumpage, Swhich
meant that the Blackburn camp had
the right to take out as much timber
as it cared to, as long as it was paid
for at the insignificant rate of one dol-
lar and fifty contra a thousand feet.
Thayer and the men in his employ
could not keep him out of his ovm
woods, or prevent him from cutting
his own timber. But they could pre-
vent him from getting it to the mill
by an inexpensive process. ’

 

    
 

From dawn until dusk he labored,
sometimes with Ba'tiste singing lustily
beside him, sometimes alone. The task
was a hard one ;the snaking of timber
through the forest to the high-line
roadway, there to be loaded upon two-
wheeled carts and dragged, by a slow,
laborious, costly process, to ”the mill.
For every log that he sent to the saw
in \this wise, he knew that Thayer was
sending ten—and at a tenth of the
cost. But Houston was fighting the
last fight—a fight that could not end
until absolute, utter failure stood stark
before him at the end of the road.
"September became October with its
rains, and its last flash of brilliant col-
oring, from the lower hills, and then
whiteness. November had arrived,
bringing with it the first snow and
turning the whole, great, already des-
olate country into a desert of white.

It was cold now; the cook took on
a-new duty of the maintenance of hot
pails of bran mash and salt water for
the relief of frozen hands. Heavy gum-
shoes, worn over lighter footgcar and
reaching with felt-padded thickness far
toward the knee, encased the feet.
Hands numbed, in spite of thick Init-
tens; each week saw a new snowfall,
bringing with it the consequent thaws
and the hardening of the surface. The
snowshoe rabbit made its appearance,
tracking the shadowy, silent woods
with great, outlandish marks. The coy-
otes howled 0’ nights; now and then
Houston, as he worked, saw the tracks
of a bear,‘or the bloody imprints of a
mountain lion, its paws cut by the icy
crust of the snow as it trailed the elk
or deer. The world was a quiet thing,
a White thing, a cold, unrelenting
thing, to be fought only by thick gar-
ments and snowshoes. But with it all,
it gave Houston and Ba’tiste a new en-
thusiasm. They at least could get
their logs to- the mill now swiftly and
with comparative ease.

Short, awkward-appearing. sleds
creaked and sang along the icy, hard-
packed road of snow, to approach the
plies of logs snaked out of the timber,
to be loaded high beyond all seeming

for their

ton rode the sleds, merely for the thrill
of it; for the singingand crunching of
the logs against the snow, the grinding
of bark against bark, the quick surge
as the horses struck a sharp decline
and galloped down it, the driver shout-
ing, the logs kicking up the snow be-

hind the sled in a swirling, feathery

wake. ‘ .
- At-tinies he} Stayed at the bunk
house with the l‘umberjacks, silent 'as

they were silent, or talking of trivial ‘

things which were mighty to them—
the quality of the food, the depth of

the snow, the fact that the little gray.‘

squirrels were more plentiful in one
part of the woods than another, or
that they chattered more in the morn-
ing than in the afternoon. Hours he
spent in watching Old Bill, a lumber-
jack who, in his few moments of leis—
ure between the supper table and bed,
whittled laboriously upon a wooden
chain, which with dogged persistence
he had lugged with him for months.
Or perhaps staring over the shoulder

of Jade Hains, striving to copy the '
picture of a motion-picture star from a a

worn, dirty, months-old magazine; as
excited as they over the tiny things in
life, as eager to seek a bunk when
‘ eight o‘clock came, as grudging to
hear the clatter of alarm clocks in
the black coldness before dawn and to
creak forth to the watering and har-
nessing of the horses for the work of
the day. Some way, it all seemed to
be natural to Barry Houston, natural
that he should accept this sort of dog-
ged, humdrum, eventless life and
strive' to think of nothing more. The
other existence, for him, had ended in
a'blackened waste; even the one per-
son in whom he had trusted, the wom-
an he would have been glad to'marry,
if that could have repaid her in any
way for what he thought she had done
for him, had proved traitorous. His
letters, written to her at general de-
livery, St. Louis, had been, returned,
uncalled for. From the moment that
he had received that light, taunting
note, he had heard nothing more. She
had done her work; she was gone.

December came. Christmas, and
with it Ba’tiste, with flour in his hair
and heard, his red shirt pulled'out
over his trousers, distributing the pres-
ents which Houston had bought for
the few men in his employ. January
wore on, bringing with it more snow.
February and then—

‘ “Eet is come! Eet is come!” Ba’—
tiste, waving his arms wildly, in spite
of the stiffness of his heavy mackinaw,
and the broad belt which sank into
layer after layer of clothing at his
waist, came over the brow of the
raise into camp, to seize Houston in
his arms and dance him about, to lift
him and literally throw him high upon
his chest as one would toss a child, to
roar at Gol'emar, then to stand back,
brandishing an opened letter above his
head. “Eet is come! I have open eet
-—I can not wait. Eet say we shall
have the contract! Ah, oui! oui! oui!
We shall have the contract!”

Houston, suddenly awake to what
the message. meant, reached for the
letter. It was there in black and white.
The bid had been accepted. There
need now be but the conference in
Chicago, the posting of the forfeit mon-
ey, and the deal was made.

“Eet say fiVe thousand dollars cash,
and the rest came in a bond!” came
enthusiastically from Ba’tiste.‘ “Eet‘is
simple. You have the mill, you have
the timber. Ba’teese, he have the
friend in Denver who will make, the
bond.” . ‘ _

“But how about the machinery;

HAVE promised Brother Jackie to

\' ,. 1 house today,” said Rolly to Bruin
‘ 1 one fine morning.“ I hope you can
manage with the housework.
“I’ll get along very well,” said Bruin.
. "‘Don’ t Worry about me. I can always
find something to eat?”
. Sooff Rolly started and left Bruin
to be his Own cook. 'He succeeded
well in getting the house in order, and,
in spite of his clumsiness, never broke
' a dish. Late in the afternoon he de-
cided to make a fresh cake for supper.
“I’ll just surprise Rolly, for he
doesn’t know I can bake cakes,” he
said to himself as he hunted for Rol-
ly’ 8 recipe book.
Looking over the long list of cakes
he finally decided to make a chocolate
, one. _ ,
-. . “Rolur Rabbit is fond of chocolate,”
he thought as he stirred in the sugar,
,milk and butter and all the 1est of the
things and Stirred it and stirred it and
‘ stirred it.
When the dough was ready for the
little pans, something told' Bruin that
1 he hadn’t put in the seasoning. He
hunted a long time for the vanilla and
ii: .ally found a big bottle with vanilla
written aeross it, on the top shelf of
the cupboard.
‘Seems funny Rolly would put the
vanilla on the top shelf,” thought
‘Bruin as he poured in a big table
spoonful.
In due time the cake was done and
Bruin covered it all over with a nice
sugar frosting.

HAVE driven a car for eight years.
In that time I have covered fully
100,000 miles.,.with no serious ac-
cidents, and only one that could be
, called such. My driving has been about
evenly divided between country and
city. The above accident happened in
the country and the majority of my
narrow escapes were on the open coun-
try roads. I
My conclusion is that I would be
more particular about keeping my auto
insurance paid up if all my driving
was on opencountry roads. I think
.I there are good reasons for this.
I have never been able to get com—
\ parative statistics on rural and urban
auto accidents, but what reaction I get
from drivers, together with my own
experience and observation, leads me
to the conclusion just made.

A driver of an auto bus recently re-
cited that the majority of the acci-
dents of his line occurred on the open
country roads. He and others point

“Oh, I’ in so hungry,” said Rolly as
supper that night.
Proudly Bruin carried in the big choc-'
olate cake. “Yum-yum—yum,” said Kelly
when he saw it. That looks so good.
Chocolate cake is my favorite. Cut
me a big piece, Bruin.” '

' Bruin obeyed, and also cut a gener-

“Where did you get your vanilla,
Bruin ?” asked Rolly laughing.

“Out of that big bottle on the top
shelf,” said Bruin seriously.

“Ha, ha, hee, hee,” Rolly laughed
until his sides shook.

“But what are you laughing at?”

“Chocolate cake flavored with
skunk’s cabbage juice is enough to
make anyone laugh. Auntie brought
that over for my cold in an old vanilla
bottle,” he laughed.

4Why I'Takc Auto Insurance

out the same reasons for this tnat I
had observed from traveling over our
rural roads.

In the first place, less provision is
made in the country to give warning
to the driver. Chief among these is
the lack of lights. In cities lights are
always burning at street intersections
and frequently betwven. These lights
aid in the identification of unlighted
objects, either moving or standing. Not
a few accidents happen in the country
from lack of these lights which, of
course, could not be economically pro-
vided. The end of a culvert that re-
stricts the average width of the road,
trees by the roadside, turns, unlighted
vehicles, etc., all conspire to make
driving dangerous and accidents easy.

Pedestrians walking on the highway,
is another source of danger to the
night driver. This is particularly true
where one happens to meet the pedes-
trian at the same time a car is ap-
(Continucd on page 249).

HE American railroads in 1923 hauled the largest ton-
nage in their history—and with an efficiency of operation
never before paralleled. To this achievement the New York
Central Lines contributed a notable meaSure. of public service.

The very heavy program in rehabilitation inaugurated by
the New York Central Lines immediately following the ter-
mination of Federal control—involving the expenditure of
many millions of dollars for new equipment and larger facil-
ities—placed this railroad system in a position to meet the
growing traffic demands of the great territory it serves.

While car loadings throughout the country for 1923 showed
an increase of 26. 7.07 /0 over 1921, and 15. 3% over 1922, the
New York Central Lines gained 42.7 /0 over 1921, and 16.8%

over 1922.

I Grow Old
. ' . 9.

OMEONE has said that the major-

ity of persons dig their graves

with their 0Wn teeth. Why are our
appetites so hard to control? We re-
sent ~being called greedy, but are we
not greedy when we overeat?

A great-aunt of ours lived to be Over
ninety. When. asked her, secret: she
said, "I never eat a. mouthful ‘more
than I really want. I always stop eat-

ing‘before I feel quite full. I eat" laxa- ,

tive foods.” Her eyes were bright, her
complexion clear, and she enjoyed life
asllong as she lived. Surely her recipe
was a simple one. If youwould live

'to a happy old age, you can do no bet-

ter than to follow the advice of Great-

_ aunt Mary. .

What are some of the laxative
foods?

Heading the list is bran. This can
now be bought in a very palatable
form, cooked and crumbled, and ready
to eat. It is not only delicious as a
breakfast cereal, but is wonderful to
use for muffins, bread or puddings.

Other laxative foods are cabbage,
sauer kraut, string beans, turnips, cel-
ery, onions, lettuce, spinach, Oranges,
stewed fruits, b_ran muffins, bran 0
whole Wheat bread. -

Precautions to take in order to grow
old gracefully:

1. Drink plenty of water.

2. Take exercise in the open air, if
possible, otherwise take setting-up ex-
ercises daily. . -

3. Plan to include at least one of the
laxative foods in each meal. _

4. Cultivate regular living habits.

GASOLINE VLAMP'BRIGHTENS

 

‘ OMEONE may be interested and
L helped by hearing about our gaso-
line lamp. '

It doesn’t matter how far we are
from gas or electricity, we have a. good
light. '

It makes the whole room bright with
its white, soft light, and there is no
glare and no eyestrain.

I used to feel that city guests must
find the house unpleasantly dark. Now
I know that I’ll hear them exclaiming
over “such a wonderful light.”

It’s so handy and easy to take
care of, too. I fill it every second or
third evening and the whole operation
of filling, pumping and lighting takes
five minutes or less. No dirty chim-
neys or wicks—always a clean, safe,
beautiful light, without smoke.

Every one is delighted and we don’t
hear any more; “0, wait till daylight.”

WHEN WINTER COMES.‘

 

ON’T forget the salad habit. In
your cellar there are carrots, cab-
bage's, celery, apples and other fine
“salad timber.” .
Think of all the hot desserts you
know, apple betty, warm gingerbread,
rice and bread pudding, fresh pies.

 

 

Home Mater; Need Fzma’r

T is a. generally recognized fact that the girl of today does not receive in
rher home the sort of training that has formerly passed from mother to

daughter.

That the schools must assume the responsibility of supplying

this training is evident and it appears that vocational training. in home-mak-

ing is a means for filling this need.

To aid in this and other vocational training, Senator Fess has introduced
in the senate a bill which is an amendment to the Smith-Hughes Act of
1917. This earlier act provided funds for vocational education in agriculture,

trade and industry.

It stated that one-fifth of the amount devoted to trade

and industry might be used to promote instruction in home economics. This

one-fifth has been devoted chiefly to training teachers and for salaries of

teaChers conducting approved courses along these lines in public schools.
In 1921 there was available for this work $300,000, and it will reach its

maximum of $600,000 in 1927.

The purpose of the amendment introduced by Senator Fess is to gradually
increase the funds devoted to hOme economics until it is equal to that avail-

able for vocational training in other lines.

It provides, for a. beginning,

a fund of $500,000, with a. gradual increase each year until at the end of

ten years it reaches $3,000,000.

To maintain the high standard of American home life and morale, de-
mands that‘home-makers more carefuly utilize the family budget and .re-

sources than the average woman can do without special'ins‘truction.

But in

1923 the total funds available from both state and federal sources for heme“
ecdnomics work were sufficient to train only 139,341 girls and women. Even
though we grant the far-reaching influence of teachers and extension work-
ers in this creditable work, when compared with the 27,000,000;of-~h‘ousekeep-
ers in the United States, and the millions-of young girls not yetuinanaglng a

home, the number is insignificant.

We trust that this great state 'of ours willbecome soaroused of the social

importance of this home-make'rs’ instruction, that the Opportunity .w‘. "- be» ‘
extended in the near future to every home-malt erxand‘her ‘ dang, ’ ht‘er ~

.3 AVE you everrdreamed or experi-
enced the anticipation, the thrill‘
and the enthusiasm of moving

into a beautiful, brand new house? If

you have it will help-you to measure
up the’feeling conveyed by members
of the Home Ecnomics Department to

.the host of visiting housewives who

came to M. A. C. during Farmers’

Week to assimilate the. suggestions

and receive an inspiration to aid in

the execution of their daily job, the
efficient management of a home.

The auditorium of the new Home
Economics Building was crowded, and
all standing room occupied at most of
the women’s sessions. "The Value of
Salads in the Diet” was well explained
and demonstrated by Miss Osee
Hughes, associate professor of home
economics. Miss Emma Garrison, also
an associate professor in the same de-
.partment, demonstrated in an inter~
esting way, “What Hats Make of Us."

Prevent Rickets.

That a large part Of the trouble we
have with our teeth is probably due
to the lack of bone-building material

,in our diet in infancy, is the belief

_of Dr. Marie Dye. That rickets, the

' most universal disease in infancy,.can

, be prevented by the antirachetic vita-

min found in direct sunlight, cod liver

. oil and egg yolk, has been proven by

: Dr. Dye in her nutrition experiments.

Important points in buying ready-
,made clothing were outlined by Miss
Julia Tear, a new member of the home
economics staff. She rather. diScour}
aged the buying of seconds, or goods
behind which there was no manufac-

:' turer’s guarantee, and of remnants, un-

less for special use, as they'were usu-

ally costly in the end. Many women
~learned for the first time What the

1 white or colored thread at the top, or

- toe of some heavy silk stockings

‘means. The yarn for such stockings

.have been dyed before they are knit-

ted, and thus the manufacturer has

:opportunity to use a filling to make

yarn heavier but not durable. Stock—

ings dyed after knitting wear better

. and are cheaper .in the end.

Save the Steps.

Miss Marian Rogers, extension spe-

'cial-ist, gave an interesting talk on

‘ step saving in housework, illustrated

by a chart. 'Her advice was, “Make

your head save your heels" by using
it in arranging your kitchen. The first
thing to consider, she '. believed, was
the grouping of small equipment so

‘ that everything was near the place

' where it was to be used most.

Appropriate furniture and accessor-

ies was given stress by Miss Adele .

Kock, assistant state home demonstra-
tion leader. The effect of “spotty”
wallpaper as contrasted with neutral
gray was demonstrated. She stated
that women often ask if they should
discard all they have and buy new,
and her advice in most cases was to
eliminate a large part and replace with
nothing. The tendency is toward too
much rather than not enough furni-
ture and accessories. ‘

“Fancy Work vs. Art Needle Work,”
was demonstrated by Miss Winifred
Gittemy. She showed how impractical
it was to spend hours making fancy
things that did not wash well. Unless
there was a feeling for color, she ad-
vised the avoiding of strong contrast-
ing colors. Mrs. Louise H. Campbell
created a good bit of enthusiasm in
her talk about “Home Economics Here
and There.” She showed that M. A. C.
graduates were doing some very con-
_ structive work in the field of. home

economics.

After a fire you may have difficulty listing

An inventory is not required by the farm

KEEP HANDS SMOOTH.

 

.I am bothered nearly all the year
with chapped hands. I have tried a
lot of things, which help for one day
or so, but then they start chapping
again. Is it caused from having my
hands in water too much ?—H. M. D.

I am inclined to believe that the
trouble you have with your hands

your skin, rather than the water you
use. However, a continual use of hard
water will cause the hands to chap.

I believe if you will use this lotion
on your hands after washing each
time, that the result will be satisfac-
tory:

Combine two ounces of glycerine,
two tablespoonfuls of water, the juice
of two‘lemons, and six drops of car-
bolic acid. Bottle and shake Well.
This will keep for some time.

Would it be all right to use a brine

Mrs. A. J. C.

By all means, I would not advise the
using of the brine for corned beef the
second time. A fresh brine is needed
to season the meat as well as pre-

' serve it.

MUSTARD PICKLES SPOIL.

 

I canned mustard pickles a year ago.
White lime—like bunches form on the
tops and run down the cans. Is there
jany danger of the pickles being poi—
son? Also, what is the trouble with
our drinking water? There is always
a rust in it. ——Mrs. P. R.

that your mustard. pickles may have
spoiled. Any oozing out on the side
of canned food would indicate this. Do
the pickles taste tangy, or have a pe-
culiar odor? If this is the case, the
pickles are not fit for consumption.
Regarding the condition of your

‘KleTER days are dyeing days.
Old Mother Winter covers the
drab and dreary fields and trees
with a radiant White dress. Just so
does Mother cover up the dull, faded
colors in only partly worn garments
that have filled the rag-bag, and re-
store them to a freshness and weara-
bility that helps immensely in reduc»
ing the family clothing bill. But the
results of Mother’s work is more last—
ing than that of Mother Nature, be-
cause she uses the fadeless dyes.

In dyeing any kind of material, it is
always more practical to use the best
dyes. All1 fabrics dry at least two
shades lighter than they appear when
they are in the wet dye. It is safe to

. dye a sample first, dry it, and make

changes in the dye after you have de—
cided which color you like best. If
you are dyeing a deep shade on a light
colored material, it is best to build up
the color, getting all you can the first
time, and then beginning over again
with a fresh dye bath. This will help
to prevent crocking.

(If you are buying new material to
dye, buy the light shades rather than
white, for any material that has been
dyed‘ will take color more readily the
second time. Natural linen color makes
a, wonderful base for old-blue'or rose.

is otherwise pure, I believe there is no
cause to worry regarding this.

FINGER MARKS ON PIANO.

If you will polish your piano well

with the following furniture polish, it .

will remove the finger marks.

To a cupful of turpentine add a
piece of beeswax the size of a walnut.
Stir into this one and one-half pints
of paraffin oil. Mix and shake well to-
gether and apply with a soft cloth, not
using too much. Then polish with a
soft cloth.

of a chimney and connects with milk

We separate our milk and I find it
very handy to send down water to
flush the separator bowl. Also pitcher
for cream, and plate for butter, and if
fruit is wanted husband puts it on the
dumb-waiter and sends it up when he
is there to separate.

In canning time I put one dozen

unload for me.—Mrs. J. C. D.

INSULIN IN DIABETES.

  

'(11'1

    

'5;

HE men who won the forty thou-

sand dollar Nobel prize of 1923

for the greatest medical discov-
ery of the year were Doctors F. G.
Banting and J. J. McLeod. of Toronto,
Canada, for their work in the discov-
ery of Insulin.» Not only is this the
most notable medical and scientific
achievement of the year (it was given
to the public the year before) but it is
the meet valuable discovery of all time
for people who have diabetes. It means
for many of them the difference be
tween life and death and every person
afflicted ‘with any degree of diabetic
severity will profit by this discovery.

Many readers have asked me to tell
how Insulin cures diabetes. It does
not cure. It is a preparation made
from certain parts of the pancreas.
Administered to the diabetic patient it
makes up for the deficiencies of his
own digestive organs by helping him
to digest his sugars. With this help
he can eat more food and greater va-
riety, and thus build up in health and
strength. But he is not cured, and
perhaps will have to take Insulin oc-
casionally throughout his lifetime.
Insulin is not a. preparation that can

be taken by the mouth. If swalloWed
the stomach digests it and spoils its
action. So it has to be administered
by the use of a hypodermic needle.
However, this difficulty may be over-
come by having some member of the
family trained to make the injection.
The material was very costly at first
but the price has now been reduced
some fifty per cent and may go lower.
Every person who has diabetes should
learn about Insulin. It is well to know
that another name for the same prep-
aration is Iletin.

DECAYING TEETH IN PREGNANCY.

 

Please tell me if pregannt women
always have trouble with decaying
teeth, and what is best to do.——-—G. D.

It is not a universal thing for wom-
en to have trouble with decaying teeth
during pregnancy but it‘is common
enough to be worthy of consideration.
Unusual acidity of the mouth and the
extra drain upon the bone-forming
saltsot the body are the causes usu-
ally (assigned. The pregnant woman
having tooth trouble should use an
alkaline wash, and when possible con—
sult her dentist at the first suspicion

H. Zen-1gb '

of dental caries. Whole wheat bread,
milk and eggs are helpful articles of
diet, but dieting will not cure the
trouble.

ROUND SHOULDERS.

 

 

I am fifteen «years old and have
round shoulders: Would wearing
braces prevent it from getting worse
or cure it?—L. M. P.

I do not advise shoulder braces.
Your muscles depend upon the support
0f the brace and you find it hard to
discontinue. You can conquer your
round shoulders by regular calisthen-
ics and a determination to reach up.
Head up, chin in, chest out, abdomen
in, should be your position.

 

SLIGHT HERNIA.

u

 

Occasionally, when lifting, I feel a
strain in the left groin, and it some—
times pains for a day or two after the
strain. I am a farmer twenty—six
years old. Am not bothered except on
th%seToccasions; Can you advise me?

I fear this is due to a slight hernia,
or at least, a tendency in that direc—
tion. It is best for you to have a care-
ful physical examination.

NERVE TONICS.

 

W‘ould you please tell meet some
good nerve tonic. I have taken celery
compound and a number of other rem-
edies witlrout doing any good. I am
a real cripple from nervous break—
down—Mrs. F -

There are no “nerve tonics” in the

way-of medicines that will do you any
good. It is a vain waste of time and
money to run from one advertised rem-
edy to another, taking them because
they are labelled as “nerve‘ tonics”
without the least idea whether suited
to your case. Your remedy lies in
finding out, what caused your breaking
down and striking at the root of mat-
ters.

 

THE SAME DISEASE.

 

What
scarlatina and scarlet fever?——~L. B.

There is not any difierence. The
term scarlatina-is sometimes applied
to mild cases of scarlet fever, but it is
a great mistake. to do so because'it
leads to a false sense of security. One
of these mild cases may spread an in—
fection that will lead to the most ma-
lignant form of the disease.

Some Book Reviews

“The Lone Winter," by Anne Boswell
Greene, $1.50.

This is a delightful book portraying
the joy and peace of country life, and
also its toils. The author had been a
sole occupant of a house on a Ver-
mont hillside farm. Theloneliness of
living so alone was relieved by the
company of a dog, a cat, a cow and a
numerous herd of Shetland ponies. In

.‘a most interesting vein the author
portrays how she mended fences,

pitched hay, shoveled snow, milked
cows, galloped along icy roads, scaled
mountains on snowshoes, gathered
wood, boiled the kettle, fed the cat,
read Stevenson. and wrote. A good
book to read at any time, but espe-
cially good these winter evenings.

“The Alaskan,” by James Oliver

Curwood, $2.00.
{like all of Curwoo‘d’s books,c this is

- a delightful portrayal of the life in the

part (if the country in which the
story’s plot is laid, as well as a splen-

. didf" weaving of romance around the

lives of his hero and heroine. The

young folks in whose blood flows the
very life and spirit of the north.

Mary Standish is as daring and as
lovely as the dawn of that north coun-

. try. If you have ever seena northern

sunrise you have never forgotten the
sight, I know, neither has the writer,
and when you read this Curwood book
visualize what a lovely heroine lives
between its covers.

“The Discovery of God," by Basil
- King, $2.00.

This book is a most interesting ad
dition to contemporary biblical com-
ment. Few people, both at the pres-
ent time and in the past, have read
the Bible with a mind quite closed to
its marvelous story. Basil King’s
book will set you reading your Bible
with not only a new enthusiasm, but a
new insight and a new delight.

“The School Book of Forestry,” by

the facts

  
   

    

 

must gather

YA half million farms are already electrified. Millions are

not. Why?

BecauSe a light and power company cannot economically

serve a few, scattered farmers, because farm equipment and

farming methods are not

yet adapted to the utilization of

electricity, and because electric service cannot be intelligently
' rendered before the needs of farmers are known.

The first task, then, is

to gather all the facts. In this a

special committee is now engaged, which is composed of ex-
perts representing the United States Department of Agri-
culture, Department of the Interior, Department of Com-
merce, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Society
of Agricultural Engineers, Power Farming Association of
America and National Electric Light Association.

The first step toward ele

‘ctriiying our farms has clearly been

taken. Electrification itself will follow when the Committee
indicates what basis is sound both for the farmer and the
light and power company.

A booklet has been published outlining the work of the

Committee.

A‘ New Discovery that
Prevents Leg Weak-
ness and Reduces Death
Losses of Baby Chicks

For years the leg weakness scourge of
early and late hatched chicks has been the
thing that has robbed poultry raisers of a

» ~ big share of their profits.

For more than 50 years scientists have
been working on this problem—at last
it has been solved! They have discover-
ed that Cod Liver Oil, being extremely
rich in A and D Vitamines, when com-
bined with other health giving ingredi-
ents overcomes leg weakness and pro-
duces such strong bones and healthy,
vigorous growth that chick death losses are greatly reduced. They
also found that Cod Liver Oil had the same effect as‘ May sunshine
on chicks that were raised indoors—in short Cod Liver Oil proved to
be“Bottled Sunshine” for baby chicks, making it possible to raise
chicks in the early and late cold months as in May or June. After
; . the discovery of this valuable aid to baby chick raising, we developed
‘ - u \ a method of including this wonderful life-giving element in Ful-O-
\\\‘\ Pep Chick Starter, which can now be had at any feed dealer’s store.
‘ ' We’ve taken Cod Liver Oil and combined it with other health giv-

ing ingredients and are now offering to poultrymen in Ful-O-Pep Chick Starter a feed
that our research department has proved reduces death losses to the minimum and
makes chicks grow and thrive in the cold winter and spring months just as if they
were out of doors in the warm May sunshine with all the bugs and tender grasses
they could eat. The Cod Liver Oil is so thouroughly mixed by our own process that it is completely
absorbed by other ingredients. Ful-O-Pep Chick Starter is perfectly dry - not 0in or gummy.
Feed Ful-O-Pep Chick Starter to your chicks this year—it will cut down yotir death losses by elim-
inating leg weakness. It will make your chicks grow this season as they never grew before. You
will never know how much this latest gift of science means to you until you give it a trial. Your
dealer can supply you with Ful-O-Pep Chick Starter.

IN mating poultry 'of '
is considered satisfactory. A prepare
tiongof one maleto fifteen hens pro-
duces good results withLeghorns: In
large flock matings it is safest cal-
low one or two extra males in the flock
in case there might be unexpected cas-
ualties or some of the males prove un-
satisfactory breeders. I

A larger proportion of_ females can
be used in a flock on free range than
when the birds are confined in small
breeding yards; If hens have been
running with birds of another breed

weeks before hatching eggs are saved
in order to receive pure-bred chicks.
Experiments have proven that the re-
sults of previous matings may. show
until the eighteenth or twentieth day.
after the male bird is 'removed from
the flock. It usually hOIds up very
well for eleven' or twelve days. So the
three~week period is usually necessary
to avoid hatching a, few cross-bred
chicks.

In selecting breeding ducks for the
farm flock it often proves that the
two-year-old breeders produce more
vigorous ducklings than young stock.
One drake to seven ducks is a propor-
tion frequently used, although a. ratio
of one to five seems to produce the
best results very early in the season.
Later in the season a ratio of one
drake to eight ducks may give very
good results. _

The best results in breeding geese
usually come from trios, although it is
possible to mate a. gander with three
or four geese and obtain plenty of
thrifty .goslings. In raising Chinese
geese, four or five- geese to a. gander
are frequently used. There seems to
be a great variation in the vigor of
the ganders and when successful mat-
ing have been made and proven good,
it pays to keep them as long as they
are useful for‘breeding purposes. The
ganders give the best results from the
third to the fifth year, and breeders
do not usually retain them after they,
are seven or eight years old. Geese
can be kept for ten years and some-
times longer. '

In mating geese the best results
seem to be produced by young ganders
mated with old geese, or old genders
with young geese. The eggs from very
young geese will hatch but the gos-
lings are not very thrifty as a. rule,

 

 

and it is unsatisfactory to try and
raise a flock of geese from young mat-
ings, as is often attempted by new
breeders who have purchased their
first trio.

Good results are obtained from tur-
keys when one tom is used with a.
flock of twelve or fifteen hens. If the
turkey flock consists of twenty-five or
thirty hens it pays to use two vigorous
toms and alternate them with» the
flock of twelve or-fifteen hens. If the
other is on the range. This prevents
the toms from fighting, and helps in

in the eggs.

N0 definite rule can be given for the
mating of any kind of poultry because
of the great variation in the vigor and
individuality of the male birds. The
proportions given are those that have
been found to give good results and
so are recommended.

WHY OYSTER SHELLS ARE
NEEDED.

 

l

HEN the hens are fed for eggs ,

they obtain sufficient material for
the whites and yolks but the grain
feed they consume cannot furnish
enough lime to make strong shells on
all the eggs they can produce. A lack
of lime results in soft shelled eggs
which are often broken in the nests
and this may lead ‘to the egg-eating
habit.

POSGIBLY BLACKH EAD
\

do not ve our baby turkeys
anygood until filmy are at least forty-
eight hours’ old. Then bread moisten-
ed with milk the first day, afterwards
two feeds ’of rolled oats, two of curd
and one of hard-boiled egg per day. I
am verysure they are not over-fed,
as the food is quickly eaten. They
seem perfectly well until about two
weeks of age, when trouble begins.
One looks droopy, walks stiff at feed-
ing time, eats,.but by the next feeding
time is not able to stand, and soon
dies. Have fresh water and sour milk
to drink. The ‘old-turk is tied so they
do not wander off in wet grass.—

Mrs. J F.

The young turkeys may have black-
head. In this disease the head often
turns dark, but sometimes this is not
the case. Perform a postmortem on a
bird that dies and note the condition
of the liver. Yellowish white spots on
the liver are an indication of black-
head. Turkeys are also subject to var-
ious digestive disorders, cholera, etc.,
the same as chickens.‘

The best preventive of blackhead is
to raise turkeys on clean ground where
old turkeys have not been ranging. As
this is seldom possible on the farm
where turkeys have been owned for
years the next best method is to use
plenty of sour milk in the ration and
keep the roosting quarters as clean as
possible and use only vigorous unre-
alted breeding stock. The ipecac treat-
ment,‘both as a cure and a preventive,
is sometimes used. As yet;I cannot
locate a single instance in Michigan
where this treatment has been of great
benefit. As a preventive a teaspoon-
ful of powdered ipecac for each twen-
ty turkeys is given in the mash twice
a week. Many believe that the old
turkeys' practically always carry the
germs of blackhead. Then any devital-
ization of the young stock due to chill-
ing in storms, or poor feeding methods
makes them easy prey to the germs of
the disease. ‘

 

TURKEYS WITH ROUP.

 

Will you please tell me what is the
trouble with my turkeys? Five or six
weeks ago several of them began to
sneeze, and I have lost six. Just be
fore death‘ their heads are swollen
under the eyes. I thought they had
the gapes and doctored them for same.
What can I do to save the rest of the
flock? I use creolin in drinking water,
and have given camphor gum. Do you
think this is roup?—Mrs. B. D. P.

The turkeys probably have roup.
When the cold first starts it can some-
times be stopped by removing the mu-
cous which plugs the nostrils and then
injecting a solution of permanganate
of potassium or coal tar disinfectant
with a medicine dropper. When the
abscess has bulged out under the eye
the lump must be opened and the
cheesy accumulations removed. Then
place strong disinfectant in thelwound
with a medicine dropper“ It may be
necessary to remove the accumulation
and wash the wound several times be-
fore healing results. ‘

'During' treatment keep the sick
birds isolated where they are dry and
protected from droughts. Keep the
nostrils opemby removing the mucous
with tissue paper. WatCh for the mites

means more eggs from any mash!

There isn’t a flock of chickens in the United
States that can’t be made more profitable
this easy, simple wgy

HEN can’t lay. half an

egg. If it doesn’t get
enoug of the vital food neces-
sities to form the shell, yolk
and white, it lay: 72p eggr! It
puts on fat instead.

Yet that same hen can be
made to lay more eggs, even
with the same feed you are
giving it now! ’Hens that are
good layers can be made to
beat their record.

The reason is very simple

Say you are feeding a stand-
ard mash feed. This mash has
only those food elements
found in the soil where the
grain was grown. Some soils
are poor in one or more of
these food elements. Even at
itsgbcst any mash must neces—
sarily be limited in its ingre-
dients and therefore lacking in
variety of minor food neces-
sities. Your hens can’t lay
heavily. It’s not their fault,
but yours.

Maybe your hens '
are getting every-
thing necessary to
form an egg but one
or two of these prec-
ious health ele—
ments. If you are not
getting all the eggs
you ought to be get-
ting, you~ can be sure some
néccssary elements are short.
To get more c gs you must
Overcome this s ortage.

Hens must think it’s
springtime!

In the wild state, no birds
lay eggs in the winter. Spring
and earl summer is their
season. ct we can make a
hen lay the year—around, by

Dear Uncle Frank: . -

This is my second attempt to escape
the “horrid old W. B.” I hope this
letter reaches Uncle Frank aftq‘ din-
ner so W. B. won’t be hungry.

I agree with Ethel St. John about
boys and girls not smoking. I never
have tasted of any kind of tobacco.
Don’t you think that is a good record,
Uncle. Frank?—-—Your nephew, Charles
0. Obert, M. C., Big Rapids, Michigan.

I congratulate you on your non-
smoking record. You are' not missing
anything by not having tasted tobacco.
I am sure you will find that smoking

is not a, manly essential.

Dear Uncle Frank:
Well, Uncle Frank, did you ever go
fishing in winter time, or have you too

 

Laurel Skefton, of Auburn, and Her
Prize Pig, “Victoria.”

 

many letters to rend that you can’t?
My father and some of the other men
go every year. They get up about
three o’clock in the morning. If pa
don’t rlng the telephone, the other men
do. When they get back at night pa
always has about a dozen fish weigh-
ing about sixteen pounds apiece. Now
what do you thing about that?

If this letter escapes W. B., I will
send you one of the fish pa gets next
week—Ethel St. John, Barryton, Mich.

Your father must be a real fisher-
man, to get up at three o’clock in the
morning and stay. all day. But six-
teen—pound fish are worth going after.
All the winter fishing I do is to fish
over piles of letters. The last part of
your letter interests me.

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I am one of those twice-in-a—while
Merry Circlers, but am going to be a.
more-in-a-while in the year to come.

I have a few suggestions to give. I
hope they help some one. I think it is
a. lot of fun to elect officers in the
schooI. We do at our school and like

 

~ {it very much. We hold meetings and

talk on different subjects. This is

‘ something new, so it is really interest.
ing. We girls also have a sewing club
and in winter, when it is cold at
school we sew. Each member brings
five cents a month~ and with this mon-
ey gets stamped goods to work, or
something.

We also have an auto race at school.
Each row of seats have the name of a.
different car. When one person is ab-
sent from that row we take off two
points. We count ofi when they are
absent or late, or when paper, rubbers
or overshoes are on the floor, etc. We
keep the scores on the blackboard.
Each day counts twenty points if no
one is absent, late etc. ‘At the time
the race ends, the row having the least
points must bring money and buy a.«
treat or furnish things 'to make candy,
and all have a good time.

Your more-in-a-while cousin and
niece, Louise Peters, M. C., R. 2, Free-
land, Michigan. "

You must have a. lot of fun in your
school. I am glad you are going to be
a more—in-a-while niece.

DearvUncle Frank:

Or should I say Mr. Waste Basket?
I have written several times. Mr.
WastevBasket, why don’t you let Uncle
Frank print them some time? '

Say, Uncle Frank, if you are what I “
think you are, you are Mr. Frank
Nance.’ You probably won ‘1; print this
letter now. Your; name is a good one,
why don’t you want your nieces and
nephews to know it?

Well, I might as wellstop this. It’s
no use to spend so much time for Mr.

 

W. B. So goodbye, Uncle~ Frank.

,Hello! Mr. W. 13., I’m yours, Alida.
Wes'ters, R. 8, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
> Mr. Nance’s given name is not
'Frank, so you’ll have to guess again.
I’ll tell W. B. you said, “Hello.” I am
sorry that I am not‘ what you think,
I am. -

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

How are you, the waste basket and
cousms? I’m kinda. foxy. I hope you
are the same. Dontcha. just love these
mce cold days? I do. .

.Is it‘wrong to wear boys’ overalls
when working outside? Also, should
a girl work in the fields? So many
people thlnk it is unlady-like. I don’t.
—-Your niece, (Genevieve Chesnus, M.
C., Hart, Mich, R. 1. ~

Being foxy, you must live near 21 f0
farm. I wonder what others think
about working girls’ overalls.

 

Tap! Tap!

May I come in?
I am fine.

I have never written to you before.
I have a sort of a. chestnut-colored
hair, and it isn’t bobbed, either. I
don’t like bobbed hair. I think it is
wrong to cut your hair, for in the
Bible it says that no woman shall cut
her hair. That Harry Coles, who said
he guessed the boys would have to
start a raid through Michigan, won’t
catch me getting down on my knees
and scraping powder off my face, for
I won’t have any to scrape off. I don’t
use powder much more than six times
a year.——Your want-to-be niece, Louise
Martins, R. 4, White Cloud, Mich.

You are a pretty good tapper. so I
guess we’ll let, you in. Didn’t'you
make a. mistake about powder? Most
girls use it about six times a day.

How are you all?

Dear Uncle Frank:

Somehow it filtered through my most
noble mind that I hadn’t contributed
toward your waste-basket for some
time. More than a year, to be exact.

To begin with, I might as well tell
the purpose of this epistle now, rather
than later. My object in doing so is
due to the fact that the insatiable ap-

By Ethelyn Sprockscl, McBaln, Mich.

,On this subject I think there is no
limit. or at least there should not be-
Lincoln has always been, in my- mind,

. the greatest months United. States has —

'ever known. He was not born with
Opportunities within his grasp. He had
to make Opportunities. I think the
lesson that Lincoln, the great man who
so helped the United States, are all
based on the very old, but neverthe~

less true saying, that, “Perseverance.

Wins. ” Everything we read or hear
about Abraham Lincoln fairly shouts
these very words at us. If he had not
stuck: to his great and wonderful~ mis-:
sion, if he had' given up. before he had
performed what every true citizen of
the United States was so hoping, wish.
ing and praying for, he would not have
won out as he did. The United States
would not be the free country it is now
if our old President, Lincoln, the pride

of every Americans heart, had not.

skillfully carried out his work to the
tune of “Perseverance Wins.” 1

By Alvah Junior Metcalf, Remus, Mich.
I have learned'that it isn’t just be-
cause Abraham Lincoln preserved the
" Union, or emancipated the slaves, that
his name is beloved of all mankind.
It is not so much the brilliance of his
accomplishmentsor the power of his
personality, great as they both were,
as it was the quality of his soul, and
his refusal to accept defeat, and the
courage to do the right as he saw it,
that have made his memory and the
study of his life a source of inspira-
tion and encouragement to us all.

When he- was a young man he ran
for the legislature in Illinois and was
badly defeated. Ile next entered bus—
iness, failed, and spent seventeen
years of his life paying debts of a
.worthless partner. He was in love with
a. young lady, to whom he became en'-
gaged, who died. Later he married a
woman who was a constant burden to
him. Entering politics again, he ran
for congress, but was defeated. He
then tried to get an appointment to
the United States Land Office, but fail-
ed. He bccame a candidate for the
United States Senate, and was, badly
defeated. In 1856 he became a candi-
date for the vicepresidency and was
onCe more defeated, In 1858' he was
defeated by Douglas. '

One, failure after another, and bad
setbacks all his life, yet he became
one .of the greatest men of America,
Whose memory is honored and loved
by all America. - When I think of the
great difficulties Lincoln had to endure,
and yet he became such a great man,
it makes me feel small to become dis—
couraged, just because I sometimes
think I am having a hard time in life.

By Thelma Skelton, Auburn, Mich’.

Abraham LinCOIn was born in Hard—
win, county, Kentucky, February 12,
1809, and was the sixteenth president
of the United States. He removed
with his family in 1816' to Spencer
county, and for the next ten years was
engaged in hard wmk. This teaches
us to be industrious.

On the breaking out of the Black
Hawk war in' 1932, he joined a. volun-
teer company, which shows he was a
true patriot.

In 1858 when defeated by Douglas, it
only inspired Lincoln with fresh de-
termination, which teaches us to not
be discouraged if we are defeated in
our first attempt to do a thing.

He was braVe, gentle, kind, humor-
ous, and in his sludgment of men was
shrewd and penetrating.

He was a. faithful friend and worthy

opponent, loved and honored by all.

we should not be deceitful or unkind,
but be brave and industrious, and fair
in our dealings with others.
By Anna Bliss, Bancroft, Mich.

The lessons I have learned from Lin-
coln‘s life are to be faithful, honest
and true.
which to be faithful, honest and true,
in school, business and on duty. Some
people think that you don’t need to be

 

honest in your studies, tests and exam- '

inations, that Only in money dealings
do we need to be honest, but Lincoln
said be honest in all things, great or
small. ;

He told us not to waste energy and-

courage wishing for things, but get

~ Drawing Contest

SEVERAL requests for draw-
ing contests have come in re-
cently. These make me think
that it is about time to have an-
other. This time we will make
it an open drawing contest, that
is, you can draw on any subject
you wish. ‘

The ten who send in the best
drawings, made by themselves
and Without tracing or other
aids, will receive prizes as fol-
lows: The first two best, hand-
some nickled fountain pens; the
next three, tubular flashlights,
and the next five, neat little
boxes of candy. All who send in
good drawings will receive Mer-
ry Circle buttons and cards if
they are not members now. All
who are members should be sure
to put the usual M. C. after their
names.

This contest closes February
21. Send your drawings to Uncle
Frank, Michigan Farmer, De-
troit, Michigan.

 

 

 

better, but never let your hopes drop.

To always be above all unkind
things or actions, and to be true to
your father and mother for all the nice
things they have done for you, and
above all to respect folks older than
yourself, is another lesson I learned
from him. He did all these things and
many more, that he might set an ex-
ample for all those who wished to fol—
low him.

He wished to share with all those
poorer than himself and help themall
he could, which we should all be will—
ing to do.

When others are trying to be dishon-
est, we should always do right,‘ and try

to set an example for others to follow',

who do not know how to do right, and
have to be influenced by another.
you not think it pays to do right when
others are depending on you?

We should go carefully over Lin-.

coln’s life, following all of his exam-
ples, if we can.

Will you please tell me which kind

of an incubator is the best to buy? ’.
Has any one had any experience with” -

the soft heat? I had one with a. lamp
at the end. It takes a lot of work fill-
ing the lamp and Watching the heat
--Mrs. B." M.

I think that all of the incubators ad-
vertISed in the Michigan Farmer are
of good quality and will give Satisfac-
tion. Sometimes the more expensive
makes of machines will last longer
than the cheaper grades, but in either

 

3 case the care of the equipment is of

great importance. I think the so-called
soft heat incubators have no points of
value superior to other well-made ma.-
chines.

MILK OR 'MEAT SCRAP.

Which do you get the best results
from for egg production, feeding milk
curd and all the thick, sour milk the
hens will eat, or feeding meat meal in
the mash? I was feeding curd and
milk to my hens but we needed the
milk for pigs, so I started to feed meat
meal and my hens dropped on egg
production to two eggs 9. day, where
I was;I getting as high as eight eggs.

In general it pays to use both meat '

scrap and milk in the ration’. Twenty
per cent meat scrap is the usual rec-
ommendation when no sour milk is
used. When plenty of sour milk is
available the meat scrap can be reduc-
ed to ten per cent of the dry mash. A
change in the ration may occasionally
lower egg production for a few days
until the hens become accustomed to
the new feed.

The meat meal is probably not re-
sponsible for the sixty hens falling in
egg production from eight down to two
eggs per day. It may be the weather
or the fact that most of the hens are
old birds taking a. Winter rest, or late
hatched pullets not‘fully matured. I
think the meat scrap will soon in-
crease egg production in your flock.

PREVENTING EGG EATING.

/

What can be done for hens that eat
their eggs ?—Mrs. R. S.

The use of darkened nests is one of
the best pre‘ventives of egg eating.
The hens enter at the rear and the
eggs are removed by the caretaker by
lowering a. hinged door in front. When
the hens see the eggs in open nests
and scratch in the litter in such nests,
the eggs are often broken and soon
the hens léarn to break and eat them.

Use plenty of oyster shells so the
hens will produce eggs with strong
shells that are not easily broken. Fill-
ing an egg with mustard and red pep-
per is sometimes used to break the
habit, but it is not as good as using
the right kind of nests and gathering
the eggs often.

, One of the commercial laying mash-
es will help you to make the hens lay.
A good home-made mash can be made
of ,100 pounds each of ground corn,
ground oats. middlings, bran and meat
scrap. The amount of meat scrap can
be reduced one-half if the hens have
plenty of sour milk. Make the hens
scratch in straw litter for their grain

, and feed green food, such as sprouted

oats or cabbages.
MEAT sanp‘ IN MAsI-I.

GOOD mash for breeding and lay-

ing hens of general purpose breeds,
containing only seventeen per cent of
meat scrap has been developed [by ex-
perts. The remainder of the protein
in the mach is contained in vegetable
form and the thirty-three per cent of
ground oats and bran gives the ration
the desired bulk. The mash seems to
be particularly good in raising the
hatchability and fertility of eggs. The
more stimulating rations seem to
cause an overfat condition in-general—

second year of-production. Special at-
tention is now being given to the" vita.-
min content of eggs and their fertility
and hatchsbility as mooted by rations.

'. proacliing from meg/opposite direction.

rIn turning off? the" strong light one
often’ cannot obselsye a'wpel'sonlr Walking _

-asfwell~as.he shoulda. _.This situation
1 moved the writer to providea spot:
3 i. light whichfkeeps the right handgsjde‘
" df the road" ,well lighted, even- when
meeting other cars, and his own bright
lights are oft.~ ‘ T
This decision was, quickly arrived at
after an experience on a country road.
There was a slight turn in the road
to the. right. Just around the bend
three 'men were standing. _The head
lights were angled to the left-of these
men naturally, and when I swung into
the straightway it was only by the
quickest redirectibn of the car that I
Saved myself from running them down.
I then and there decided to provide a
spot—light which Lhave since had in
cemmission. .
Glaring headlights are another great
source of trouble on the open coun;
try roads.- This has been recognized
by the state, and our lawmakers have
provided that all strong lights be turn-
ed off when approaching a car from
the opposite direction. In spite of the
statute, men do not always do this—
usually it is due to carelessness, but
occasionally, We think, to sheer mean,-
ness. Being blinded .by these glaring
lights one is likely to find himself in
the ditch at the side of the road, or
crashing into something he would have
observed in time but for the presence
of the blinding lights ahead. .
Road intersections are often difficult
‘to locate. In this respect traveling is
”much improved, but still there are
many places where one cannot discern
the crossroads and an oncoming auto
.‘hid by bushes or a corn field, or other
obstruction may be unobserved until
too late. The accompanying drawing
lvillustrates an accident that happened
, in the central part of the state in this
“manner and in which one man was
j killed and another badly hurt.

We have mentioned ditches. These

furnish a real source of danger to the
country driver. In the cities the curb
fltends to hold one to the street. But
during wet weather in summer, or icy
"weather in winter, the ditch.is the
bogieman who keeps the driver won-
dering when it is going to happen;
A I would mention the greatest men—
ace to country driving, and that is the
speedster. A few experienced people
can drive hard and fairly safely; but,
the majority of those who exceed the
limit do not know how to’handle cars,
and, when the machine is traveling
fast, they, too frequently, get a little
excited and lose their head. Then
things happen, and they are just as
apt to happen to the other fellow as
to the one who is at fault. Our laws
cannot be too strictlyenforced in this
matter of speed. In spite of’ the good
work our state and county authorities
are doing, the fool speedster is the
,biggest menace to the open country
driving that we now have.

Finally, the rate of speed allowed on

' country roads adds to the possibility,
of accident. When a car is going

‘ twenty or twenty-five miles it is easy,

'to avoid smashups, but increase that‘
’ speed to thirty and thirty-five miles,
and the chances are increased by geo—
; metrical progression. 4
g The accident mentioned in the first
paragraph happened partly as the re-
,sult of getting too near the speed
_. limit. We were driving behind another
. car at a fair rate of speed. The car
, ahead turned out to pass two vehicles
standing at the roadside.
approaching at a’high rate of speed
:from the opposite direction. I
, fairlyover in the left-hand track the‘
fidriver ahead concluded he could not

ADVISES CATERING TQ DEMANn.

- IYE .people what theywant, when

‘ they want it and in the conditioh
they want it and you will usually get
a. profitable price, was the clincher
statement of Prof. V. R. Gardner, hort-
iculturist at the M. A. C., in his talk
before patrons at Farmers’ Week. ;

We can improve our income from
the garden or orchard by reducing pro-
duction costs, increasing the volume of
profitable business or increasing the
price we receive for our wares. These,
he held out as the possible ways in
'Which the fruit grower might look for
an improved income. ;

Most fruit growers feel that produc-
tion costs have already been reduced
to their lowest terms. This may be
generally true as regards to acre costs,
but is not the case in bushel costs.
The judicious use of proper fertilizers
would materially increase production
and quality of a crop, and thereby cut
down the cost of growing a bushel, or
pound. Since there is no general ex-
pansion of the fruit industry in this
state, this is a. fairly safe practice tp
follow. .

There is pessibility, too, of increas-
ing the market price ,for fruit. Take
apples, he said. Michigan apples are
put up in about the same way that
the second-hand dealer displays his
worn goods. These apples naturally
have about the same appeal to the
thrifty buyer, who should be using
Michigan fruit, as thegoods of a sec-

ond-hand store have to him. He simply,
passes by and purchases the fruit that ‘

is properly graded and packed.

Mr. Gardner also suggested that if
Michigan peach growers would plant
varieties that mature ten days earlier
or later than Elbertas, they would es-
cape competition on the lowest days
of the market and receive from twenty-
five cents to a dollar more for their
offerings.

GRAPES FAIL TO BEAR.

Nlissue of December 29, 1923, sub-
scribersigned “J. T. G., asks why
grapes do not bear. - Please advise him
to look for cutworms. As long as the
grapes bud they will bear fruit—pro-

viding the frost don’t kill the buds, or p

the cutworms eat them, out, or later
the rosebugs destroy the blossoms.

The difference in the milk pail between what your cows
actually give and What they can give may represent the
difference between profit and loss. If you want your cows
to produce up to full capacity—to do their very best—they
must have comfortable and sanitary quarters. The cow is a
finely developed,sensitive animal and responds readily an

liberally to comfortable surroundings—to kind treatment.

Give her the same satisfied comfort in the barn that she
gets in the pasture and she’ll give you more milk in the .
pail—today, tomorrow and as long as she is milking. Thou-
sands of. prac$al dairymen have proved this fact to their
Satisfaction. ”cu too, can do the same. _

H ERE is a good plan to relieve the

drudgery of Sunday night chores.
Where there are several men on a
stock farm, divide them into two
groups. Then one group do the work
one Sunday night and the other the‘
next.

This arrangement leaves everyone
free for Sunday afternoon and evening
every other week. A chance to get
away is appreciated, especially by the
boys and hired men, but Dad likes to
take mother and go visit his friends

without feeling that he has to hurry‘

back to help milk. .

. If there is an uneven number of men
on the farm, say, for example, three,
it could be handled this way. Call the
men A, B and C. A. and B will work
one Sunday, B and C the next, C and
A the next, etc—H. Thomas.

GOOD CARE OF SOW AFFECTS PIG
CROP.

N an attempt to learn the effect of
the management of sows upon the

/

number and condition of the farrowed <

pigs, fifty-three cases were brought
under observation. It was discovered
that the majority of those who were
bringing the highest average of live
pigs up to weaning time saw that the
mothers were supplied with plenty of
protein food and exercise. The sows
were kept in medium condition and did
not receive more than three ears of
corn each per day. One farmer advis-

‘ed that a good way to give the cows

needed exercise is to have the sleep-
ing qdarters some distance from the
place where the animals are‘fed. This
will force them to cover the distance
at'least three times each day.

WHEAT

Wheat prices advanced last week to
the highest point in five months. The
gain over the level prevailing recently
was not marked as the market has

_ been traveling a nearly horizontal path
for a long time but the fact that prices
finally got out of the rut was signifi—
cant. Belief that spring wheat acreage
will be reduced considerably was a
partial factor in the advance. This
belief, in turn, was partly based on the
expectation that legislation to encour-
age diversification in the spring wheat
states wilt pass congress or that pri-
vate agencies will accomplish the
same end. Rumors of an upward re-
vision of the tariff also gave the mar-

ket support.
RYE .

Rye is prone to lag behind wheat.
Domestic consumption is satisfactory
but exports in the last five weeks total
only 181,000 bushels compared with
4,400,000 bushels in the same period a
year ago. Receipts are dwindling,
however, and the visible supply de-
creased last week for the first time
since August with the exception of the
week in which lake navigation closed.
Further decreases are logical.

CORN

Corn advanced last week for the
highest point for the new crop season.
Receipts have increased but consum-
ers have taken advantage of the in-
crease in offerings to build up their
stocks so that the accumulation at
terminals has been negligible.-A fairly
large movement is,under way and the
heavy receipts will probably last for
another month but the behavior of the
market does not indicate that prices
will weaken much. There is undoubt-
edly a good deal of corn to come for-
.. ward but it seems likely that this will
be distributed through the rest of the
'crop year with greater uniformity than

usual.
OATS

Oats prices are stiil dominated 'by-

limited receipts, a small and steadily

. ing ”demand, especially for higbggrade
n. It is reported that much of the
‘ .stock at some terminals, (particularly-

for future

  

shrinking'visible and a large consum-~

1 . . ' ' ,
estimated at 82,052,000 bushels against
54,666,000 bushels a year ago.

' . SEEDS

Cloverseed prices lost ground last
week. Cloverseed from the 1922 crop
is bringing a premium of about $1 'a
bushel at some markets. Spring-buy-
ing is not yet brisk and the discussion
of the adaptability of foreign seed is
an unsettling factor. During January,
5,309,100 pounds were imported, most-
ly from France. Imports of Italian
seed, which is least adapted to our
climate, were 107,900 pounds. Since
July 1, total imports of red cldver
have amountedFtEEBMfiOO pounds.

' 5

Feed markets were generally easy
last w‘eek although severe weather
caused firmness in some quarters.
Southwestern flour mills have expand-
ed operations recently and increased
their offerings of wheat feeds, while
Canadian wheat feeds are coming into
the east and the low price for milk in;
the New York fluid milk district re-
stricts the demand from that import-
ant feed buying territory. Linseed
mills are operating and oil meal is
said to be accumulating while Argen-
tina has'a big crop of flax now com-
ing on the world market. Corn feeds
have decLined in spite of strength in

cash corn.
‘ HAY

The hay market stiffened last week
as a result of light receipts caused by
the storm. The eastern demand from
dairymen is dull although dairy alfalfa
at Kansas City is moving well, while
low grades have declined.

BUTTER

The butter market strengthened last
week although the undertone was ner-
vous. Undergrade butter continued
Scarce and sold at an extremely small
discount below fancy scores. Distrib-
utors handling lower grades as a reg-
ular thing were unwilling- to put their
trade on the better grades temporarily
but scoured the market for their usual
kinds. Storage holdings in, the United
States on February 1 of . 15,290,000
pounds were only about one-half of
the .five—year average for that date.
Nearly as much was withdrawn from
storage during January as was left at
the end of the month and withdrawals
have been heavy since February 1.

Prmes of fresh creamery butter were
as follows: 92-score, Chicago, 5094c;
New York 52c. Fresh creamery in tubs
sells for 49@501/2c in Detroit.

_ POULTRY AND EGGS

Egg prices rallied sharply again last
week when a severe storm interfered
with rail traffic and checked produc—
tion temporarily. The advance is like—
ly to be short-lived and an erratic

 

_ downward. .

market will probably continue fer an-
other month but with the general trend

   
     

compared with last year, as consump-
tive demand has increased ore than
the supply and storage stoc s are not
especially heavy.

Chicago—Eggs, miscellaneous 37.@
380;’dirties 30617320; checks 29'@300;
fresh firsts 39@400; ordinary firsts 35
@360. LiVe poultry, hens at 24@25c;

Detroit—Eggs, fresh candied and

15c; geese 18@20c; ducks at 28@29c;‘

turkeys 25@30c. -

' BEANS .

Stormy weather which 'checked‘deliv-
eries at elevators caused an advance
in prices to $5.15 per 100 pounds for

“choice hand-picked whites f. o. b. Mich-

igan. Demand is light at this advance,
however. The total crop of the state

was around 8,200 cars, of which 4,000,,

cars were moved up to January 1, and
about 1,100 cars additional in January,
leaving 3,200 cars still to be sold. If
the. same rateof movement is main-
tained for another month, the remain:
ing supply will,be cut down to a quite
satisfactory figure with prospects of- a
good cleanup before the next crop
comes on. Michigan prices have been
too low to permit the sale of many
foreign beans, and western bean prices
also have been above a competitive
basis with Michigan. ‘

POTATOES

Stormy weather interfered with the
shipments last week so that the po-
tato market was uneven and uncer~
tain. U. S. No. 1 northern round
whites were quoted at $I‘.40@1.60 per
100 pounds sacked at Chicago, while
New York round whites were $1.75@
1.90 in eastern markets. Stocks of
sweet potatoesin storage are said to
be light. The report of storage hold-
ings of white potatoes which is over-
due will probably be the cue to the
action of the market in the next month
or two. , .

APPLES

Apple markets show little change.

Forwardings from producing districts
remain heavy for this time ofyear.
Shipments for the season to date are
nearly as large as for the entire sea-
son a year ago. Stay}.
still heavy.
quoted at $4@4.50 per barrelin east-
ern markets, while midwestern Bald:
wins are bringing $4.50@5 at Chicago,
Jonathans and Greenings $5.50@6, and
Northern Spies $6@6.50. -

away withall buckles and rings, and the harder the
‘pull the tighter they'hold: the world’s greatest advance
in harness making. No other harness ever made can
equal it. Made in all styles, Breechingless, Side Backer,
