When the time comes that Michigan has alfalfa hay to sell, the eastern markets will absorb it at the top price for hay, making it one of the best cash crops in Michigan. Michigan grown alfalfa seed is in great demand and practically all Pro- fessor Spragg’s new Hardigan Alfalfa, which sets seed in Michigan, is being planted for seed purposes in the state. If the weather is right when the second cutting comes into bloom, it will pay to allow a considerable amount of our alfalfa acreage of Hardigan, Grimm or LaBeau to go for seed. From two to four bushels per acre can be expected in good years. .Clover Seed a Good Crop. Red clover is another crop, which we need more of for feed, seed and soil improvement. There is a great shortage of native grown seed. A good crop of clover seed pays a good deal more profit than any grain crop now being produced in Michigan with which it‘is seeded. Those who have good stands of red clover, coming into the second year, will do well to plan on taking the second crop fer seed rather than pasturing it or turning it under if the season is right. Michigan mam- moth clover and alsike is also in strong demand. Sweet clover is another leguminous crop of which we can grow a much larger acreage to great profit. It makes a great pasture for dairy cows, hogs and cattle, and on light lands or soils needing organic matter, it is one of ,the most yalu'able of green manuring .. 14315328 to .xturn under or to pasture off and turn under. Sweet clover lays a corn in Michigan for the last five years is greater than for any of the major corn belt states. Our Special Cash Crops. Michigan leads in the production of the white pea or navy bean. In spite of the fact that we grew the biggest acreage on record last year, a reason- able' acreage planted during the next year should meet with a good market, since the use of beans has greatly in- creased. For home cooking and can- ning, the quality of Michigan pea beans is everywhere rated the highest. Red kidney beans continue to bring a premium. Sugar beets are a good crop for those who know how to handle them. Good growers can expect fourteen or fifteen tons, or at present contract prices, a possible net profit of from $40 to $60 per acre. From ten tons up there is good profit in beets. Increase Proportion of Early Potatoes. The organized potato growers are apparently planning to grow more per acre, though apparently a smaller acreage, using more certified seed than usual. Early potatoes are proving to be more profitable with many growers than late potatoes in central and southern Michigan. Many of the grow- ers who have made the most out of potatoes in the past, are planning on half of the acreage, or a considerable part of it, for early potatoes. Our college experiments show that the big yields and best profits of from early potatoes go to the growers who plant them the earliest. Also they must spray. Just as soon as the ground can be worked into good condition, in April or early May, early potatoes should be planted. Oats and barley are particularly well adapted to Michigan; yields per acre are heavier and the quality is better than in most states. Since the price of oats and barley is set in this state as with corn, the market demand is stronger than for crops, a consider- able part of which is expected. The Seed to Plant. Now about the seed to grow and where to get it. The experience of Michigan farmers and the careful com- parative tests at the Experiment Sta- tion both prove conclusively that Mich- igan grown seed of most crops, or seed produced in other northern states, give best results in Michigan. It is parti— cularly important that seed of such crops as corn, clover, alfalfa and soy- beans, be adapted to our conditions. Test All Seed Corn. The seed corn situation is serious. Those who field selected their seed corn early last fall and hung it up in the house or in the barn to dry are unusually fortunate, but even they had better test their seed carefully, The college tests show that many farmers Who think they have good seed, have seed which will not, in many cases, test more than 20% germination. On the whole, the seed corn of this state and of the corn—belt is very low in ger- mination—the worst it has been, ex— 09111; for the disasterous year of 1917. “Test, Don’t guess.” If your seed corn isn’t satisfactory, buy it early from a dependable source Native Grown Clover Seed Best. The native grown clover seed crop was short last year, and more import- ed clover seed has come into the coun- .. .QU‘A‘LITY , RELIABILITY SERVICE N UMBER FOU RTEEN av If you cannot get Michigan grown clover seed, .or seed from other north- ern states, alfalfa, sweet clover, or al- sike clover, of which there is much seed, should be chosen. It is the same way with alfalfa. Seven or eight million pounds of Ar- gentine seed came into the country last year, and there is a lot of good seed produced in our southwest; but. this southern seed is almost worthless in Michigan. The Grimm or. hardy common from the northwest, secured from dependable companies, is the best adapted and gives dependable results. Look out for cheap seed of any kind, especially this year. Cheap clover and alfalfa seed is very likely to result in a costly failure. Certified Seed Potatoes Cheapen Cost Per' Bushel. Michigan potato growers will find that the more extensive use of certi- fied seed potatoes will give much more profitable yields. About eighty per- cent of the 400 cars offered by the Michigan certified seed growers, is sold to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi- ana farmers who know its worth. Most southern and central Michigan farmers can expect from twenty to forty bush- els more from this seed and a much better quality of crop than from ordin- ary seed potatoes. Certified seed of the \Volverine oats, Robust beans, pedigreed barleys and high yielding adapted corn varieties can be secured in quantity from the' Michigan Crop Improvement Associa- tion, East Lansing. These same var- ieties are offered by our leading seed companies. They yield more and hence Potato Growers in the Southern Part of the State can Expect from 20 to 40 Bushels more per acre if they Plant Michigan Certified Seed. try than ever before. I wish every clover grower in Michigan could have, seen Prof. McGee’s plats at the college, planted with Italian clover. The first crop was less than half a crop and the second crop a failure, hardly enough on an acre to feed a rabbit. A good deal of Italian is. coming into the coun- try and a whole lot more from south- ern France. Southern French seed is unsatisfactory in Michigan compared with native grown seed. The seed from northern Europe might be recom- mended were it not for the fact that much Italian seed is being sent to northern European ports for reship— ment. Imported seed is not depend- able as a class. Michigan grown red clover seed gave the best results at the Michigan station.- Compared to other states, we had a good crop so that only the hindmost of Michigan farmers should be unable to get it. reduce the cost of producing a bushel or a ton—wone way to make more profit. Also, they ai‘e in more demand on the market and usually bring a more ready sale at the best prices. As my friend, Alfred Gruber, the big fellow of the Saginaw Valley says, “Of what I choose to grow, I grow the best what isi” As our Crops Statistician, V. H. Church, figures it, Michigan crops were worth last year two hundred and forty-two million dollars. This figure represents a gain of 13% over 1922 and 30% over 1921. Crop prices are slowly coming back to a better figure. While it makes hired help hard to get right now, the great increase in popu- lation of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lan- sing, Flint, Jackson and other Mich— igan cities makes a better market and insures a bright future for Michigan agriculture.

In most large institutions these activities are conducted by separate depa1tments with separate executive heads each, of course, under the diiection of a (general executive. In this way production is harmonized with demand as interpreted by the general executive and his advisers, and the most careful attention is given to the economics of both production and sales through the functioning of these separate departments. Farming is essentially a manufac- .xturing business in which these two as important as in any manufacturing business. The fact that the unit of operation is smaller does not in any way change the situation. Production and sales are just as distinctly separ' ate departments of the business and of similar importance in determining the profit or loss resulting from its opera— tion, except, in the business of farm- ing, the production problem is an even more important factor. In a well organized manufacturing business, the product is of standard quality. A similar standardization of the product of a farm business will also simplify the sales problem, as will an intelligent adjustment of pro- duction to probable demand. Economy in production is also just as important on the farm as in the factory, and is a most important factor in determin- ing the profit 01 loss resulting from its apex at1on Much emphasis is being placed on the farmer’s sales problem at the pres- ent time. It is an important problem to which even more serious, general. [and concerted attention should be . given by all farmers.

In the morning he again donnes the bathrobe and slip- pers, and dresses for the day in the barn. This practiCe eliminates con- siderable dirt from being brought into the house as well as leaving the sleep- ing room free of the disagreeable odor of farm work clothes. On such occa- sions as threshing, etc. his shower bath was liberally patronized. Pipe A may lead from the tank to a place in the basement if it is more desirable to bathe there. The water from this tank is heated by the heat radiated from the roof and has always been of an agreeable temperature dur- ing the summer months for bathing. In the fall the tank is drained and a cork fitted into the spout from the eave trough. The women too will enjoy a shower. Especially will they appreciate this method of bathing the children.

KETCHA M’S BILL FAVORE D. The bill introduced by Representa- ‘tive John C. Ketcham, of Michigan, H.

SENATE COMMITTEE FAVORé LARGE INCOME E-ARN'E‘R.’ The Senate Finance committee, by a vote of 8 to 7,11as substituted the Mellon rates on surtaxes with 25 per cent as a maximum in place of the bill that passed the House which pro- vides for a 37% per cent maximum. The Senate committee, however, has rejected that part of the Mellon plan which gave a lower rate on earned in- comes, and is therefore not as favora- ble to the man of small income as the original plan.

Can you tell me what the effect of the acid in silage upon a cement silo? I amtold that it damages the cement. . ——W. J. R. The acid of silage will effect the cement in a cement silo a little, but there is nothing. serious about this. A cement silo ought to be plastered on the inside with a thin coat of rich cement mortar, containing not over two parts of sand with one pint of cement. This is to make the entire surface smooth, so the ensilage will settle readily. Now the acid in the silage may etfect this cement mortar ' so that it will have to be replaced once in ten or fifteen years, but if you will Whitewash it every year with a cement whitewash it will last much longer. So this is no serious matter, and should not prevent one from building this , kind of a silo. REGULATING SPEED. THROUGH LINE SHAFT. What size pulleys should be used on line shaft and on engine to give proper speed for pump jack, washing machine, churn and cream separator? —E. . In regard to speed of line shaft nec- essary to operate various machines as pump jack, washing machine, churn and seperator, the speed which the .line shaft will run will depend upon several things: First, the size of the. pulleys on the machine to be operated; second, the speed which these ma- chines would run; and third, the size of pulleys which are to be usod on the line shaft to belt to these pulleys. As a rule it is a good plan to run the line. shaft at from 150 to 200 revo- . lutions per minute. The proper speed can then be secured from the machines . by sclecting the proper size pulleys on the line shaft if the machines armpro Perhaps it would beflworth’wliile to. ‘ explain, the mother! of- figurmgspwds" spinal a-womig mam beé-ns‘droi- . ' determining the factors necessary. The rule which we have developed for this 3 :dl — f Jet-wed Count “‘59..“ hagglig .u___———__—~—___. Am not aware of- any means by. BACK] work is astouo'ns: ‘ I . For the shaft on which. both speed and, diameter are known on ”the pulley. which multiplied together give a prod- uct of 3.009. If a speed of 150 revo-‘ lutions is required on’the line shaft, spools divided by-this factor giving. a. diameter of '20 inches. ' If we had a, given size "pgfllcy for" the line shaft, say 15 inches and desired to know the speed, the product of 3,000 would be divided by 15 which would give a speed of 200 revolutions per minute. i This same rule can be used to deter- mine the size of pulleys which should be used on the line shaft for operating the machines at the required speed as well. Mor example the pulley on a. cream seper tor should probably run about 50. revolutions per minute and may have a. diameter of 12 inches. Both speed and diameter being known on this pulley, they are multiplied to- gether, giving a, product of 600. If We know the line shaft speed to be 150, 600 divided by .150 gives a- quotient of. four which is the number of inches of diameter of the pulley necessary to be used on the line shaft. . I believe that a little ought given to the working out of t rule will be, of more help than to attempt to deter- mine the size of pulley required. This would only be pOSSible when the speeds and size of pulleys on the var- ious machines are known.‘——H. H. Mus- selman. » RIGHT.S WHERE LEASE is SURRENDERE‘D. I rented my farm for 3 years, begin- ning March 12, 1923, cash rent payable semi-annually, and have a contractto that effect. Dec. 24, 1923, then renter said, “I want to give up the farm it you are willing; my wife's health has failed and I don’t want to stay." I told him that would be a. big damage to me, as I had sold my half of stock to rent to him and had none to do business with. Ten days later he told me he was going to leave, and said he would send the contract in the morn- ing, but I have not heard anything from him since. He has SOWD rye. Can I hold it? Could I collect any other damages? If so, when and how should I proceed? Have I the right to rent or make any disposition unless he gives up the contract?4J. M. W. As long as the tenant keeps the rent paid as provided in the lease and does not surrender, the lessor has no right to possession nor to give right of possession to any other. If the les- see seeks "to surrender during the, term, the lessor may refuse and hold the lessee liable for the agreed rent for the entire term. The advisability of such course depends upon the re- sponsibility of the lessee. If the lease is surrendered and the surrender ac: cepted the lessor may make a lease .to any other as he pleases or may ro- tain possession. Upon surrender the. rights of the leesee ai‘e terminated in- cluding his rights in any crop not har- vested by him before surrender.—-: Rood. . . spams WHEAT .FOR MICHIGAN.

He had worked hard and it; seemed to him, had used the best possible judgement. Yet profit didn’t come. -, , During the several days Joe spent with Fred he had noticed how the pur- chasing agent—or buyerL4—for the aut'o- * ’ mobile company went into details 0011- ‘ , ' oer-ring every purchase made Dating. .011 pills, quantity discounts, and often. discounts were given much attentibn. Every detail which afleétw the cost 1 .. ofkthei‘armerkof a. community was ‘suflflciently largeitto enable large scale of the material being purchased was dealt with thoroughly.- It was Fred’s business to buy the things this plant needed just as cheaply as he possibly could. Joe went out into the plant and watched the workmen. He found that every movement was being studied and ‘ every attempt made‘ to make labor more efficient. L The central aim of this large manufacturing plant was to get things done just as cheaply as possible ’—-that is——buy materials as cheaply as possible and get the highest possible production for each day’s labor. The production manager was always seek— ing to lower his costs. Joe learned lots of things about manufacturing he never knew. before. The vacation was about over and Joe was telling Fred of his farm. He told him that he wasn’t making as much money as he thought he should. It just seemed that he couldn’t get ahead. Fred listened to the story of how Joe and other farmers were not making a profit and not getting as much for their efforts as theyshould. “Do you know,” said Fred, “that if I brought materials for this automo— bile plant like you buy things for your farm, we wouldn’t be in business thir- ty days from now?" ”The prices at which wesell our product are pretty well set by competition, just the same as the prices of agricultural products, although not to the same extent. We have to buy raw materials at the low- est possible prices in order to get by. No, we couldn’t ever make any money "in the automobile business if we did business like you do.” “What do you mean?” asked Joe. “I mean that you are buying your raw materials and supplies at retail prices and selling your finished pro- ducts at Wholesale prices,” Fred. In parting Fred said, think this over.” Joe did not wait until he got home before he began to think about what Fred said. He thought over his meth- “Go home and "dairy feed he went to a retail store '. and boughti a little at a time. been buying his fertilizer, seeds, ma- replied He had chinery,_;harness, feeds and,all other things, which he needed in small quan- tities. Some of'these things Would .be " bought in sufficient quantity‘to supply his year' s requirements; but he need- ed such a small amount that he had to buy atretail prices. He didn’t have the power in the buying market ’which the automobile had; His business was being'conducte’d on too small a scale to enable him to secure’the benefits of large scale buying. As the train trailed home, Joe sat ‘ looking out of the window and thought. ~He Saw -n‘u_merous #5111113: about the same as his Own. Thbse werefoperated by small farmers, Who could not secure . :the benefits of. laige scale buying be- {cause they did 'not need large quan- titles of the different materials. But the quantities “bf supplies needed by all buying and bring the resulting advan- tages. It occured to Joe Potter as he journeyed homeward that in the auto- mobile plant each department was _not buying supplies individually but pur- chases were made for the plant as a whole. If these advantages .could be secured by manufacturers through cen- tral buying, was it not possible for the farmers of a community to benefit by cooperating in buying their sup— plies? This trip to Detroit had taught Joe Potter 3. real lesson in business. It is true, as Fred had told him, that no business can prosper so long as it buys raw materials at retail prices and sells its finished product at Wholesale buying. The only alter- native, then, is for the farmers of a community to go together and buy jointly. It is for the purpose of overcoming the handicap which the farmer has in buying that he has been organizing associations for the purpose of pur- chasing his supplies. Agriculture is beeoming more of a manufacturing business. The quantity of supplies needed is becoming greater and, as in the case of the automobile manufac- turer, there are great opportunities to save on purchases and thereby in- crease profits. Throughout the United States cooperative associations which deal in supplies needed by farmers are to be foimd. These organizations are most common in those sections of the country where agriculture is more in- tensified for there the need for them is greatest. There has not been as extensive de- velopment of the cooperative buying association as there has of the mar- keting organizations. According to reports from the Bureau‘ of Agricul— ture Economics, of the United States Department of Agriculture, only about -1% of the total cooperative business ( Continued on page 50‘ 1 How to save meney on rope Hard-earned money is often wasted on inferior rope that breaks down on the job —especially dur- ing the strain of Whatever .may be your use for rope you will find an H. 85 A. brand of cordage to meet your requirements. ha in time. 1: tgth ‘that K Guarantee u e rope .1 stands the gafi' of themluc Heart Sh , H. 85 A.

It giveth life to the weary and Worn soil.‘ ‘It maketh mellow to plow. Manured «soil gummeth not when wet It shap- eth not itself into unyielding clods when dry. It drinketh in the refreshing mois- ture even three-fold above the cape.- city of impoverished Boil.- It giveth up to the drying wind its store of moisture at a. rate/one-third as rapid Its crop withereth not with the noon-day sun. . There, go to, my son, and use a manure spreader. ‘ II Again the second time the wise far- mer spake a proverb to his 'son, say- ingz—Conserve thou the riches of thy fertilizer by conveying it to thy fields with thy spreader as it is produced. For know thou that manure collected in heaps undergoeth chemical changes and the goodness thereof wasteth away; and that the snow and rain from heaven falling upon the litter of thy: barn-yard and feed-corral doth straightway dissolve the plant food thereof and carry it into the earth, and to the creeks and rivers where it do- eth good unto no man. For seest thou a man Without a. spreader, the same is he whose man- ure collecteth and wasteth even as thy father has spoken. Therefore, if thou wouldst be a wise farmer, procure unto thyself a manure spieader and show diligence in the use thereof. III Also a third proverb spake the wise farmer. My son, if thou wilt heed the coun- sel I have given thee, then will thy corrals and barn-yards be of no offense to the eye, nor to the nose. Moreover then mayest thy stock feed and lie down in comfort because their pens are not encumbered with filth and mire. And thy servant who doeth the chores, toiling in clean yards and pens riseth up each day to call thee blessed. Yea also, when thou keepest thy barnyard thou dost prevent the multi— plying of flies! and whose swatteth the fly destroyeth pests to his beastsfa'nd carriers of filth and disease to him— self and those that dwell within his gates. All these things will the use of thy manure spreader do for thee. IV My son, listen to a fourth proverb. Whoso owneth a manure spreader, saveth much arduous labor, for behold with it his team doeth the work of many hired servants. Or whoso hath a. son should surely possess a labor-saving spreader, for so will he make easy for him a much-des- pised task, and thereby will he keep the boy on the farm. V. The fifth proverb of the farmer. My son, when the cold winds of win- ter have continued long into thy planting season and the manure of thy barn-yard and feeding-corral long re- maineth frozen, then ‘wilt thou rejoice if thou possessest a time-saving spreader. For when the frost goeth, then speedily mayest thy fields be fertilized and thy crops planted in season. VI. A. proverb of the wise farmer on economy. , My son, own» and use a spreader, and then will thy stack bottoms and Learn thou that the food, or’humus, . unused straw and forage be applied to thy fields; and thy reward: shall be more sightly remises and, a larger crop-yield from thine husbandry. _. , VII. My son, thou shouldst have a spread-L'- . or because it will aid thee in keeping flocks and herds. For knowest than not that live-stock husbandry hath a. three-fold value to the farmer? For it provideth a home market for much of thy crops. . ‘ It tendeth to crop-diversification and needful rotation. Moreover it maketh plentiful ferti- lizer for thy fields. Seest thou a farmer wise in his cal- ling, the same keepeth live-stock in goodly numbers, ands. manure spread- er; ‘and lo, the combination keepeth him. VIII. My son, thou shouldst exalt the low- ly spreader even to the extent of ownership thereof, because it pulver- izeth the fertilizer from thy corrals and barnyards, and maketh it to more readily yield up the plant—food which it containeth. For when thou spreadest unwieldy 3 chunks upon thy field by hand, the same doeth nuisance when blowing and profiteth thy crops but little. XI . My son, when thou goest forth to fertilize thine acres, remember now the manure spreader. For it covereth thy field with an even coat of goodness. Then doth every part of thy crop come up and grow evenly and leaveth not some spots burned out by over- manuring and other spots showing lack of plant food. X At the last spake the wise farmer thus: My son, every farmer should own and use his own manure spreader be- cause as it is written “The Borrower is servant to the lender.” And when thou goest to borrow ma- chinery from thy neighbor, then dost. thou make thyself an abomination unto him. Besides thy neighbor may be a kind- ly man, and suffer thee to use his ma- chine when he hath need thereof him- self. Therefore, my son heed the words of thy father. Own and use a manure spreader if thou wouldst leave a goodly heritage in worldly goods, and acres rich in productiveness. Then will thy children’s children rise up to call thee blessed. PREDICTS INCREASE IN STRAW- BERRY PLANTINGS. L M. GEISMAR, who has recently ° been reappointed agricultural agent of Houghton County, calls atten- tion to the increase of strawberry cul- ture in that county and foresees a. time when the canning of strawberries may be added to the country’s industries. A group of farmers near Lake Linden and Calumet, report the agent, has pooled a. carload order for strawberry boxes and crates for spring delivery» This is sufficient packing equipment for ten or twelve carloads of berries, he states. Last year, Mr. Geismar” ordered about 75,000 strawberry plants of ‘choice varieties which have become the foundation stock for many planta- tions of the berries in the county The strawberries 0f the Lake Superior county mature late but are extremely good in quality. , .

' , Back 1111916, there wasa few acres in the state whe're‘nlfalfa was gaining considerable foothold because of the fact that these acres were naturally adapted to the growing of alfalfa. They were well supplied with lime, well ‘ drained and innocuiatedwith the prop- erprganism to insure a nitrogen sup- ply to the alfalfa plant. 'I‘he‘farmers who were growing alfalfa successfully were paying considerable attention to the preparation of the seed bed, and in addition, were using good seed. There also were scattered ‘farmers, here and there, who .did not have all Shaded counties are those where larg- est alfalfa acreage is found. of these conditions favorable to the growing of alfalfa, but who had exper- imented with and studied their prob- lem until they were able to drain their soil, correct its acidity with lime, or innoculate their seed and thus make a, success of growing this valuable crop, in spite of unfavorable conditions. In 1921, the Farm Crops Department of the Michigan Agricultural College, decided that if a few farmers could make a success by scientifically cor- recting the faults of their soils, more farmers would do it if they knew how, and so a systematic program’was built up, incorporating the successful prac‘ tises of the men who were growing alfalfa in spite of their unfavorable con- ditions. The scientific knowledge which the College had been years in building up was put to work to help solve these problems. The result was that a powerful movement got started, and because it was such a sound move— ment, it has gained the support of every agency interested in Michigan agriculture. Those people who believed in con- structively building the soil fertility saw, in alfalfa, the possibilities of the greatest of all soil building plants. The feeders of live stock who have been facing a problem of how to cut dowu their present cost of production so as to meet the market and show a margin of profit, welcomed with open arms this new recruit which brought with it a source of cheap protein; which was the food element that was largely responsible for making their cost of production high. The business men who were holding mortgages on some of our lighter types of soil where potatoes, rye, and other cash crops-had been overworked to the point of almost total devastation ‘4..nawmma drive win a place in the hearts of ,mch- ' L, l; n . album; . . t, g ' xx, .

The County Agricultural Agents have not only sponsored these 1,913 meetings, but have been independent meetings and given much valuable farm-to-farm information on this sub- ject. ' ' - - The agricultural press 'of the state, has contributed many columns of printed matter to. aid in the distribu~ tion of information on how to over- come the various cultural problems of this crop.‘ ' It is difficult to say just what, each of these various agencies has ’contri~ buted to the success of this movement; ‘ we know that it is a success. In 1919, Michigan had 74,059 acres of alfalfa cut for hay, according to the 1922 an- nual summary of V. H. 'Church, Crop Statistician with the State Department of Agriculture. The same authority, states that this acreage has increased to 334,000 acres cut for hay last year. Is there a chance of overdoing this crop and getting too large an acreage? Michigan produces annually about 3,- 000,000 acres of tame hay of Which 11% is alfalfa. There should be no cause to worry about overproduction .until 50% more of the tame hay acre« age of Michigan is alfalfa SPARE.THE TOAD; HE’S WORTH NlNETEEN DOLLARS DURING May, June and July, the three months of greatest activity of toads, it is estimated that each toad Will destroy 360 beneficial -insects and 9,729 harmful ones. Although cutworms form but 16 per cent of the toad’s diet, the value of his services in destroy- ing cutworms alone equals $19.44 per year. This figure is obtained by allowing one cent for each cutworm eaten, since many gardeners offer their children a. similar sum for each one destroyed. Some idea of the toad’s appetite for insects may be had from the fact that one was known to have eaten 34 grown celery caterpillars—Mills. INCREASING CAPACITY OF PUMP Is there anything on the market to make a pump throw a full stream of water from a driven well 125 feet deep? Ours has a double cylinder but only throws 14 in. stream. The pump is supposed to be a good pump but the pump-man apparently cannot help it. —J. W. D. Answering your inquiry in regard to pumping, I do not now that there is anything on the market which would guarantee a pump to throw a full stream. In fact, the relation of the size cylinder and size of spout on the pump is usually such that it would be impractical to do that. However, it would seem from your letter that a. good well equipped with a standard pump should give better results than you have indicated inqyour letter. A frequent cause of a difficulty of this kind is either a. lack of water or a closing of the water passage to the pump cylinder by sand filling the pipe or closing the screen. In case the supply is cut off by this Approximately . 40,000 farmers have ~ of some areas, welcomed alfalfa as the possible means of putting this land, back into the ranks of fertile produc- tive farms, if any movement could do it. , . A corps of Extention Specialists have been kept in the field by the Farm Crops Department of the Michi- gan Agricultural College to~ take the message of ‘fhow to successfully gr/ow . w. method the pump when pumped rap- idly will usually kick back or jump be- cause the water cannot come into the well fast enough to fill the plunger and ,the plunger therefore drop back on the water when it is released.

But ‘ ~here Was a fine prospect for cats straw that was half clover. There was showery, cloudy weather at cutting time and those oat sheaves weighed like lead in places, but having a large acreage to cut and little help we went , ahead and did the best we could with it. * 3‘ We put the sheaves' into small ' shocks so that they would dry out quicker. The sweet clover turned back and some of the sheaves molded next to the ground where they were set in the dense clover and cat stubble, but . when a sheaf was broken open it looked good inside and had the sweet odor of sweet clover. In threshing we blew the mows full of the straw in which one could easily see the fine clover stems. One or two sarcastic wags on the job said, they. didn’t see what anyone wanted to blow that “manure” into the mow for. But I have found that’you can’t always judge the value of a legume feed by its color. Both the horses and milch cows ate it readily. It makes a splen- , did roughage, superior to timothy, fodder, or straight straw, and it yields more to‘ the acre. The straw of the cats aflcutting time is usually dried out enough to absorb some of the moisture given off by the sweet clover and to help cure it more readily in the sheaf. Then we'cut the cats about eight or ten inches high so that it would bind easier and give us more straw in the bargain. Some of the sheaves we let lie on the ground a couple of days which gave the clo- ver a better chance to cure but made them look black on the outside. Some of the straw Was blown on tho bottom of a big straw sh:.l. The sheep, dur< ing the fall and winter months, ate the entire bottom out of this pile in 1 addition to having their feed of grain and silage, showing that they relished i it as did the other livestock.—~—J.

Then there is left very little trash to hold the snow and water to increase the depth of mud when the break up comes. Further, remove such objects as tends to cause the snow to bank in the yard. Approaches to the stable doors do away with the holes that invariably ‘ form there. , One more thing. I, would mention which ,may seem to be at variance with some of the things I have given above. Every winter I feed a. large quantity of cornstal-ks in bundle in the barnyard. These stalks are course enough to let the water go through and away; at the same time, they will holdup the livestock and keep them out of the mud. While somewhat dis- agreeable to pitch into the spreader, I believe they more than pay for the extra trouble of handling by keeping the yard cleaner and drier.——W. H. Collar. . HAS EAVE TROUGHS INSTALLED. SPEAKING of muddy barnyards, there are two things in particular that have helped me to reduCe the mud in my barnyard to the minumum. First I haul manure to the fields direct from the stables. Second, I have placed eave troughs on the barn and conduc- ted the water away to a level below that of the barnyard with a good nat- ural drainage. These provisions will go far toward helping to keep a yard free from mud—T. C. Stearns. COVERED YARD WITH CEMENT. M Y barnyard has just enough slope so the water runs off. It is heavy soil. I. covered it with three or four inches of sand and leveled if off. Then I placed cobble stone from four to six 1nchesy,1n diameter evenly on the surface. With a tamper made by putting a handle in a block of wood, I tamped theistornes well down till they were even, using a piece of board for a straight edge. Then I applied cement, mixed in the proportion of about one to six, and sort so it runs down from one half to an inch thick on top. When the cement began to set I tamped it again leaving a rough surface. . My barnyard has been paved about fifteen years and is in good condition. —James Edgar- GRAVEL HELPS THIS MAN OUT.

The matter of freedom from disease is the most important factor in the purchasing of colonies 0r nuclei and reliable, un- biased judgment should be secured be- fore any money changes hands. Whenever convenient, the bees should be purchased locally. It not only makes possible the careful insp’ec~ tion of the colonies but it saves the expense and risk of shipment and’us- ually bees can be purchased cheaper locally than‘at a distance. Try to pur- chase from an extensive beekeeper. By doing this the bees will nearly always be in standard equipment. Standard equipment means that the bees are in ten frame Langstroth hives and the combs are built from sheets of comb foundation and wired. Bees at $10. per colony in good equipment are cheaper than bees for nothing in an old box. The returns to be secured from bees in modern equipment are also much larger than in interior equipment. ‘ The bees should pay for themselves the first year if the season is good and if strong healthy colonies are se~ cured in the season and if they are given proper attention. Many persons prefer to buy bees in combless packages. This method is very satisfactory when the person buy- ing has had some experience in hand- ling bees. An inexperienced person should not buy packages. .Packages require transferring into a hive and then the bees need feeding and care to build them up into satisfactory col- onies. ‘Some like to buy bees as three frame nuclei. A nucleus is a small colony usually on three combs and the combs contain brood, honey and pol- len. It can be handled much more easily than a package and can easily be built up into a good colony. The purchase of a nucleus has the same objections as the purchasing of a col- ony in that one may easily get some bee disease along with the nucleus. Nuclei should be bought only from a dealer whose bees are under state in- spection and have. been free from dis- ease for at least one year. One more caution is necessary.Don’t buy old second hand equipment. Un- used. equipment is unused largely be- cause of disease killing out the bees that were in it. There are some ex- ceptions but the rule is worth follow- ing regardless of the price at which such equipment is offered—B. F. Klndig.

Farley, of New Jerseybis'a; better. lime-sulfur spray. especially for, peach growers. 1 attended the small annual. meeting of New Jersey fruit growers early in December, and their exper- _ ience as related in connection with Pro- fessor Farley's report, convinced 'me . of the value of this new spray. Results : in Michigan with this new spray have, . I believe, been favorable. . To put the whole matter briefly, the . dry-mix spray is more convenient than home-boiled lime-sultanand more safe It is the standard summer fungicide in " many states. In view of the fact that jthe dry-mix is only three years old, ‘this widespread use indicates that- it is more than fad and that it must have merit. Tests with the dry-mix on Delicious, Winesap and Gano indicate that this new spray for apples is on a .par with concentrated lime-sulfur 1-50 for all applications after the pink bud stage. Table gives data on scab control on apples last summer: ' The table shows that Dry-Mix is " fully effective as concentrated lime- sulfur as a, summer fungicide for apples, provided its use starts with the petal fall application. The figures also indicate that concentrated lime- sulfur 1 to 40 is slightly more effective against scab than Dry-‘Vlix when used for the pink bud application, combined with the fact that it seldom if ever .snlturhas been, recommended to; use in preparing Dry-Mix, but than is he's- son to believe, judging by New Jersey tests, that good grade of commercial ground sulfur flour will nine just as citective a mixture. The flour is not only cheaper, but easier to handle. It is very important that fresh hy- drated lime,‘ free from grit and dirt, be used in preparing Dry-Mix. The grade of lime designated as “finishing lime” will be found more satisfactory than any of the lower grades. grade lime usually" contains grit that clogs nozzles and st_rainers,' and wears out pump cylinders. Experience of New Jersey peach and apple growers justified these recom~ mendations. , 1. Dry-Mix Lime is recommended as a substitute for self-boiled lime-sulfur and atomic sulfur, as a summer funi- cide for tree fruits. 2. Beginning with the petal applica- tion, Dry—Mix is recommended as a. substitute for concentrated lime-sulfur on apples except where such diseases as blotch, bitter rot and cedar rust are serious. 3. Dry-Mix is strongly recommended as a substitute for concentrated lime- sulfur for use as a summer fungicide on varieties of apples that are easily russeted. 4. Home made Dry-Mix is recom- mended in preference to the commer- cial forms because of the great savings involved. Table. Dry-Mix and Concentrated Lim‘E-Sul- .

Sift the sulfur through a screen to eliminate all lumps. Mix the proper amounts of sulfur, lime and calcium caseinate together dry, being careful to secure a uniform mixture. The dry mixture thus obtained constitutes what is known as Dry Mix. Sulfur Lime. Fruit growers who do not find it con- venient to make this dry mixture them- selves may have it mixed in quantity by any commercial concern or dealer equipped to prepare dust mixtures. After the materials have been weighed out and mixed, there are two methods of procedure. Method 1—Place the proper amount in a barrel, or other container which will hold water. Add water slowly stirring the mixture until the grains of sulfur are wet, and a thin solution is obtained that will pass readily Treatment 1: Concentrated lime-sul- fur 1—40 at pink bud, followed by con« centrated lime-sulfur 1-50 during bal« ance of season. Treatment 2: Concentrate lime-sub fur 1—40"'at pink bud, followed by dry— mix during balance of season. Treatment 3: Dry—Mix throughout the season, starting with pink bud spray. Check: No spray applied. HOT WATER BATH DESTROYS GERMS. ' OT water is a good medicine for sick cabbages as determined by college pathologists, who have dis- covered a new cure for black leg, an infectious disease which has caused a loss of thousands of dollars to cabbage producers. The corrosive sublimate treatment which has been used for black rot and recommended for black leg is not al- together satisfactory, so the experts, say. Now they have found that seed immersed for thirty minutes in water kept at 122 degrees is free from both infections, but the hot water also re— duces the germination. Plump and healthy seed stand the treatment much better than poor seed and there is no doubt that the advantages gained in freeing the. seed from the disease over< balances the reduced germination. Strain the material into the spray tank after same is at least one-half full of water. .. L Method 2-—Wash the proper amount of Dry Mix Sulfur through the strained into the spray tank with the agitator running. This method can only be used to advantage where a strong flow of Water from an overhead pipe or hose is available. The strainer used should not have. more than 12 to 14 If snow is the poor man’s manure, crops ought to be good this year.

Haven, Muskegon. saugatuck and Ludington also make huge ship meats. Those cases will probably average two dollars each; the season is about eight weeks long so you see . that runs into dollars. Now the fruit marketing commission ..has made many stringent rulings re- . garding grading and packing tree fruits and grapes but it has paid little if any attention to berries. I wish to voice one loud complaint regarding berry crates.’ You see the farmer is. helpless regarding the Crates he must ship in. He must accept whatever the manufacturer sends out. Berries are soft gruit and the raspberries are semi ‘ hollow; a pint of berries heaping full when set into the crate arrives at the market, after numberless shakes and jolts, not much more than two thirds full. Berry men know this and make allowances for it by heaping the boxes of berries. That is why the sides of the box project beyond the bottom. " Three, years ago theorate manufac- turers .made a radical change in the pint crates. The old crate was a flat ' with twelve pints on each side set two tiers high. The new crate is shaped like the quart crate, twelve pints to a side but three tiers high. It does not allow for ventilation but this is not its worst fault. The pint boxes have the sides almost even with the bottoms and the three boxes just reach the side of the crate when set on top each other. If the lower pints are filled more than even full, the top berries are mashed and made messy when the upper pints are put into the crate; if the top pints are heaped the least bit, the crate top mashes the berries when , it is nailed on. The farmer has no alternative but to so pack his berries that they arrive at the market aparently slack packed or 'else have the top berries mashed and messy. Michigan berries are dis- criminated against by the commission men and the consumer largely because of these poorly planned crates. Indi- ana red raspberries bring from two to six dollars more per crate than Mich- igan berries; Michigan berries get a ' bad name and Michigan berry men get the reputation of cheats and slack packers all on account of these poor crates. It does no good whatever to kick to the local dealer as the crates are made in Northern Michigan and Wisconsin. The Michigan berry consumer is vi— tally interested in this also as he gets a slack pint or a. messy pint instead of a full pack of good quality berries. This is a mighty sore point with all us berry men but We have kicked in vain. Now lets see whether a little publicity will do any good. I can give the potato men a little pointer too. A certain Indiana farm paper has been publishing a number of complaints all winter about Michi- gan certified seed. The complainers say that home seed potatoes produce more and better spuds than the certi- fied. Now everyone knows that one kicker makes more noise than a. hun- dred satisfied customers but the gen- eral efiect of publishing these kicks means a diminished demand for the certified seed from Michigan. *Thatswas a good huckleberry piece in a late issue but I had to grin a little. I bought plants two years ago from anather dealer. They were to be seed- less and as big as grapes. Actually they are low bush, seeds and all- and no iii-get than the wild kinds.

THE FARMER'Sx-HANDICAP. (Continued from page 499.) for the year 1921 was that of buying. The greatest emphasis is being placed on the problem of marketing associa- tions as it is in this field that the need of organization seems to be the great- est. However, we find many real active cooperative associations in the southeastern exclusively in things needed by the farmer. Especially in the dairy section of the state, the co- operative buying association is the one of greatest importance. These organ- izations are rendering a real service to the farmers of the community. The benefits which come from such associations are first of all, better prices for the materials purchased. In addition to this come advantages such as aid in securing the proper kind of feeds, fertilizers, spray and other mate- .l “' A Foxy Grandpa. rials. The cooperative organization is in business for the primary purpose of providing the farmer with the things he needs to help him make farming more profitable and not to build up a business and make a profit. There is not the incentive to sell the farmer something he doesn’t need, or to sell an inferior produCt. Cooperative buying associations such as are referred to are those for the buying of materials used in agricul— tural production and not associations for the purposes of supplying farmers’ families with groceries and other do- mestic requirements. It is very doubt- ful whether it is feasible to mix this two types of services. There are some instances where the farmers’ coopera- tive grocery has been conducted suc- cessfully. However, in most instances, the supply and grocery businéss should not be combined. Farmers must cease buying their supplies at retail prices and secure the benefits of large scale buying if they are to conduct their business on a more profitable scale. Through co- operative buying, the small farmer can secure these benefits of large scale buying. Cooperation in whatever phase it is practiced is for the assistance of the small farmer as well as the large. Buying at retail and selling at whole- Sale is a game which is hard to heat. A well managed cooperative buying as- sociation will helpyour' community . solve this problem.

'~ ' - ,‘The statement 'of 'farmers’ intentions to'vplant is not a forecast, of the acre- age 'that'wfll actually be planted. It is simply an indication of what far- mers had in mind to. plant at the time they made their reports,_ compared with‘ what they harvested laSt year.

Com- parisons in acreage of principal crops intended to be planted in percentage of last year’s crops grown for harvest is as follows: “5 3-4 F" l 0 E s 5‘: 3 re m :1 w .99 8 53 3 3 :15 .e ”a g _ 3 .2 .2 D m 2. m 2 2 Spring Wheat 86 - 85 70 Corn 103 102 102 Oats . 107 106 107 Barley .. 109 109 105 Potatbes, white 98 95 92 Hay, tame 104 105 101 For the United States farmers have expressed the intention of planting as much or a larger acreage of the main crops as listed above except wheat and white potatoes. The same relative comparisons are true for, the North Central group of states east of the Mississippi River. In Michigan the tendency is also to increase the main crops as listed above With the excep- tion of spring wheat and white pota- per cent in corn, 7 per cent in oats and 5 per cent in’barley are reported. The hay shows la slight increase due to the interest in alfalfa. Spring wheat continues to show"a downward tendency and the acreage in the state at present is small. Intended plantings of white po- tatoes in the state are reported at 8% below last year’s acreage. Beans and sugar beets were not included in the inquiry, but comments of reporters indicate an increased acreage of the latter will be planted and the bean acreage will probably be the same as last year.

The dates have not been definitely set, but probably will be, either April 15 and 16, or April 22 _and 23. , ’ , -_ It originally had been planned 'to hold the meeting at Cadillac or Poto- sk'ey, but the switch to Traverse City was made as a result of increased in- terest shown by Grand Traverse, Le- lenau and Benzie county farmers in the production of certified seed pota- toes.

' . 1 But suddenly he ceased his plans. Black 'splotches against the snow, two Filgures suddenly had come out of the sweeping veilr—a girl and; a man. Something akin to panic seized Haus— t0n. The man was Lost Wing, faith- _ 37fully in the background as usual. The - .. {girl was Medaine Robinette. For once Houston hoped that she l ‘ *would pass him as usual,—with avert- j ,jed eyes. He did not care to make ex- ' ; planations, to be forced to lie to her. 4 But Fate was against him. A moment more and the storm closed in again, with one of its fitful gusts, only, to - sclear at last and to leave them face Medaine’s eyes went with ' womanly instinct to the bundle in his ' 1arms. And even though she could see nothing but the roundnes's of the blan- kets, the tender manner in which Barry Houston held the poor, inani~ mate little parcel was enough. “A baby!” There was surprise in, her tone. Forgetting for the moment her aversion to the man himself, she came forward, touching the blankets, then lifting one edge ever so slightly that she might peer beneath. “Where did you find it? ‘Whose is it?” Houston sought vainly for words. He stammered,——~a promise made to an enemy struggling for supremacy. And . the words seem to come unbidden: “Does it matter?” “Of course not.” She looked at him queerly. “I merely thought I could be of assistance.” “You can. Tell me where I can find a priest.” “A priest?” “Yes, I need him-—the baby is dead.” “Oh.” She touched the bundle ever so softly. “I didn’t know.” Then with a sudden thought; “But her mother. She must needw’ “Only a doctor. I will try to get Ba’tiste to come out.” “But couldn’t I——” “I‘m sorry.” Barry tried in vain for the words that would tell her the truth yet tell her nothing. He felt that he was miring himself hopelessly, that his denials and his efforts at secrecy could cause only one idea to form in her brain. He wanted to tell her the truth, to ask her aid, to send her. back into the woods to the assistance of the stricken woman there. But he could not frame the request. Instead, “I—I can't tell you. I’ve given a woman my word. She wouldn’t understand—if you went there. With Ba’tiste, it is different. He is a doctor. He has a right. I—~I—” “I understand,” came quietly, and in those two words Houston felt that her opinion had been formed; that to her, he was the father; the quiet form in ‘1: saw. ~.tfi_fenr. with ‘ grateful. £81433 knew to a certainty that . what his story would be when beget.” there was a little more than he could» an .n‘ v one/JV uf>vfrof~4 «mtg «)90.‘ é' &’ "ihis arms his 'mfm child! «It was like a}. blew to him; Fétf ~was only-what he '- had expected from‘the moment that he had recognized her.

But you are asking something almost impossible.

I am afraid you couldn’t find it.” “I can try. Will you lend me Lost \Ving to run an errand? .I want to get Ba’tiste—for her.” “Certainly.” . “May I talk to him privately? He understands English?’ She nodded. Then: “I will tell Lost Wing that anything you have to say to him shall be a secret even from me. I——do not want to know it.” She spoke to the Indian in Sioui: then and drew away, her eyes on the tracings of a snowshoe. Houston, pointing with his head, gave the Indian his directions. “ A women is sick in a cabin, two miles straight west from here. Get Ba’tiste Renaud and take him there. Turn away from the stream at a tall, dead lodgepole and go to the left. You will see the cabin. I would rather that storm Barry turned again to the girl. “Just one more request: I can't carry the child ‘up there—this way. Will. you help strap her to my pack?” Silently she assisted him in the grim tash of mercy. Then: . “Do you know the Pass ?” “I can find my way.” “Do you know it ?” He shook his head. She tapped one glove against the other. “It is impossible then. “I’ll make it some way. ——for helping me.” ‘ He started on. back. “It’s dangerous—too dangerous,” and there was a note of pity in her voice. “It’s bad enough on foot when there’s no snow—if you’re not familiar with it. I——” “Tell me the way. Perhaps I could find it. It’s not for myself. I made a promise to the child’s mother. I’m afraid she’s dying-L»!- A new light came into the girl’s eyes, a light of compassion, of utmost pity,—the pity that one can feel for some one who has transgressed, some one who faces the penalty, who‘feels the lash of the whip, yet does not cry out.

It told Barry Heuston that this little woman of the hills was willing to help him, although she 'loather him ; that she was willing to undergo hardships, to quell her own dislike for the man she aided that she might give him as- sistance in a time of death. And he trilled with \it, in spite of the false beliefs that‘ he knew existed in the mind of Me’daine Robinette. It gave him a pride in her,—-even though he knew this pride to be gained at the loss of his own prestige. And more than all, it made him glad that he had played the man back there in the little, lonely cabin, where lay a sorrow- crazed woman, grieving for a child who was gone; that he too had been big enough and strong enough to for- get the past in the exigencies of the moment; that he had aided where he might have hindered; that he had soothed where a lesser nature might have stormed. He bowed his head in acknowledgment of her announcement. Then, side by side, affixing the stout cord that was to form a bond of safety between two alien souls, they started forth, a man who had been accused, but who was strong enough to rise above it, and a. woman whose woman- heart had dictated that dislike, dis- trust, even physical fear be subjugated to the greater, nobler purpose of hu- man charity. 5 CHAPTER XXI . SILENCE was their portion as they turned to the mountains. There was little to say. Now and then as Houston, in the lead,’got off the trail, Medaine jerked on the cord to draw his attention, then pointed, and Barry obeyed. Thus their pilgrimage pro‘ gressed. .

Allen of 3906 Central St., Dallas, Texas, determined to take a chance! Knowing what he was up against he was not greatly surprised when his car got stuck in a mud hole. But the subsequent developments, told in his letter, did surprise him. He writes, “Repeated rain kept me from removing the car for thirteen days. Natu- rally I supposed my new paint job would have to be done over again. But when the car was thoroughly cleaned the Valspar- Enamel was as good as new. Thirteen days in the rain and mud had not injured it a bit.” And Mr. Allen further states, “I have never seen anything like the way Valspar- Enamel holds up.

Asfgthey went higher, and the *5» . ‘ ‘ wind beat against them with its. hail of splintered ice particles, Houston Saw her heavily gloved hands go to her face in sudden pain and remain there: The man went to her side, and graspingher'by the shoulder, stopped ‘ her. Then, without explanation, he brought forth a heavy bandanna hand- kerchief and tied it about her features, as high as possible without shutting off the sight. Her eyes thanked him. They went on. Higher—«higher! the old cracks of Houston’s lips, formed in his days of wandering, opened and began to bleed, , the tiny, red drops falling on his cloth- ‘ ing and congealing there. The flying ice cut his skin; he knew that his eye- balls were becoming red again, the blood-red where never a speck of white showed, only black pupils staring forth from a sea of carmine. Harder and swifter the wind swept about them; its force greater than the slight form Houston to her; his arm encircled her—and she did not resist—she who, down therein the west country in the days that had gone, would have re- belled at the touch of his hand! But now they were in a strange land where personalities had vanished; two beings equipped with human intelligence and the power of locomotion, little more. All else in their natures had become subjugated to the greater tasks which - faced them; the primitive had come 'to life; they were fighting against every vengeful weapon which an out- raged Nature could hurl,——fighting at cross-purposes, he to fulfill a promise to a woman who might even now be dead, she to assuage the promptings of a, merciful nature, even to the ex- tent of a companionship of a man she had been led to revile. Afternoon came, and the welcome shelter of a ledge where the snow had drifted far outward, leaving a small space of dry rock,——to them like an island to a drifting victim of ship- wreck. There they stopped, to bring food from the small provision pack which had been shifted to Medaine’s shoulders, to eat silently, then, Without ' a word, to rise and go onward. '“ Miles and miles,——rods in fact. Aeons of space after that, in which huddled, bent figures in the grip of stormdom, crawling at painfully slow pace up the steeper inclines. Upward through the stinging blast of the tempest they went, toward the top of a stricken world. Late afternoon; then Medaine turned toward the bleeding man be- side her. “A mile more.” She said no more. He nodded in answer and extended a hand to aid her over a slippery stretch of ice-coated granite. Timber line came and went. 1 Q .. The snowfall ceased, to give way to the grayness of heavy, scudding clouds and the spasmodic flurries‘ of driving white, as the gusty wind caught up the loose fall of the drifts and whirled it on, like harassed, lost souls seeking in vain a place they could abide. And it was in one of the moments of quiet * that Medaine pointed above. Five splotches showed on the moun- tain side,—the roofs of as many cabins; the rest of them were buried in snow. No smoke came from the slanting chimneys; no avenues were shoveled to the doorways; the drifts were unbroken. “Gone!” Houston voiced the mono syllable. “Yes. Probably on to Crestline.

Houston again took the lead, rounding the stretches, then wait- ing for her, halting at the dangerous gulleys and guiding her safely across. but‘ silently. * He had said enough; more would require explanations. And there was a pack upon his back which contained a tiny form with tight-curled hands, with eyes that were closed,——-'- a poor, nameless little thing he had sworn to carry to grace and to pro- tection. At last they reached the cabins. Houston untied the bond which connected them and loosened his snowshoes, that he might plunge , 4- the Right _ a?

For, he was deal- fing with a proud, aggressive, warlike people whose temper he did not under- I stand. DO you remember a few weeks , ago, we spoke of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh going up into the hill country, where the giants lived, 'to ' clear a settlement in the forest? Re- hoboam was negotiating with the des- cendants of those thick—chested wood- cutters. They loved to 'fight. A small war was good, a, big war was better. ‘When Gideon pared down his army from several thousand to three hun- dred men and won a victory over the Midianites, he did not invite the Eph- raimites to assist him. They were highly indignant, and told him so. in required all his diplomacy to applease their offended dignity. Later, Japh- lthah was suddenlysummoned to de- fend his tribe, he did not ask help’of Ephraim. “And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves it .gether, and went northward, and said to J ephthah, “Wherefore passedst thou ever to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? We will burn thine house upon thee with fire.” I just said, they loved a good war. But this time they picked on the wrong man. Jephthah called in his fighting men, and smote Ephraim, so that they did not recover for many years. The record says the Ephraim lost forty two thousand men. They had enough for that time. ' ELL, these were the tribeswith whom the new king was dealing. It was a ticklish problem, and Rehe- boam did not solve it. He bungled it. He did not even muddle through. There would be no reforms. The income taxes, the property taxes, the road taxes would be the same as usual, un- less they were increased. Immediate- ly the old war-cry sounded out, “To yom tents, O Israel!” Good bye, Re- hoboam. Sorry you could not have seen things differently. You go your way, we will go ours. J ' Who are the makers of history? Not always the men who hold the highest office. King George holds the highest oflice in Great Britain, but he does not make its history. That is left to peers, men. Back of this secession by the have been successful " but ‘ they did _ ' ‘ The king then counselled with the younger peliticians, many of, _twhom had probably assumed omen by}, a man of valor.

But- now, he returns as merge .. of the hour.- He is promptly crowned'ii'ir'uq J” as monarch, and the long struggle be- tween the _north and the south begins. Unhappily for the Hebrews, when the revolt- took place. there was no Lin- ~- can" to stand for a united nation, and to bring the secessionists back again. ’1‘ HE man Jerobeam is interesting J _ and profitable to study, He is a man of ability. First Kings calls him Solomon liked him, and gave him an important political post. ’ It was Ahijah, the prophet, who put the notion Of the kingship in his head. Jerobeam was not a good ruler. He lead his people into idolatry and . debased their moral stanmdards He was known forever after' as “Jerobeam the J 'son of Nebat, which made Israel to men for war!”_- sin ” .When a writer wanted to des- cribe a bad man in a few words he said that he. ‘walked in all the ways of . Jeroboam. ” That is an ugly appendage to cling to one forever. Every man has his trade mark. ' o HE was at least twice rebuked. Once more the unknown man enters the scene. A man who is not even named suddenly appears, performshis mis- sion, and disappears. It is something like standing by the grave of the Un- known Soldier. “And behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethe], and Jerobeam stood by ”the altar to burn incense.” The unknown man gave the derelict king a severe rebuke for his evil' ways, and disappeared. ,A child ‘becomes one of the actors on the stage. Jeroboam’s son lay very ill, and the king asks his wife to go to? the prophet Ahijah, now blind with age, and ask that he restore the sick one. The old man has not lost the stern sense of duty which has gone with him all the years. Never will he compromise his capacity as ambassa- dor of God, for popularity. The child, he says, will die, as soon as its mother arrives at the threshold. Moreover, the dynasty of Jeroboam will be cut off forever, because of the king’s sin. The king of Israel was aptly called, “The man who made Israel to sin,” for he was followed by kings, all second rate except in their capacity for wrong doing. The first reigned two years, and was assassinated; the next for twenty-four years;‘the next for one year, was murdered in a drinking bent, and the murderer reigned for about a week, when he was attached and com- mited suicide by burning the palace with himself init. The next monarch was a strong man, but “did evil before the Lord” beyond all others. Joseph Parker, the famous London preacher sums it up thus: I. God is the King of 'Kings. II. Great power without great wisdom, becomes tyranny. III. Loyalty to kings must bend before loyalty to God. IV. Let nations put their trust in God, and he will work out their deliv- erance.

How good that bread and honey looked to Ben: nie. It just made his mouth water, and his dinner pail was empty. . “Willie, let’s get your little red wagon and take a ride down the south hill,” he suggested. “That will be fun,” said Willie. .“Just wait a minute until I get my wagon.” S'o, laying his bread and honey down in the swing, he scam- pered off after it. As soon as Willie was out of sight, , ”Tine Vth (Continued from page 515.) later a fire was booming; a girl tired, bent-shouldered, her eyes drooping from a sudden desire for sleep, hud- dled near it. Houston walked to the pack and took food. “You would rather eat alone?” “Yes.” “I shall be in the next cabin—— awake.” “Awake?" “Yes. I’d rather—keep watch.” “But there is nothing—” ”Illness—~21 snowslide—afresh drift. I would feel easier in mind. Good night.” . Then With his sno‘wshoes‘and his pack of death, he went out the door, to plunge through another drift, to force his way into a cabin, and there a plodding, dumb figure, go suddenly about the duties of comfort. And more than once in the howling, blustery night which followed, Houston shiv- ered, shook himself into action and rose to rebuild a fire that had died While he had sat hunched in the hard, . uncomfortable chair besdie it, trying to fathom what the day had meant, striving to hope for the keeping of the promises that an hysterical woman had ,made, struggling for the strength to go our-on, with this cheery, brave iittle bit of humanity in the next cabin, without a word in self-extenuation, without a hint to break the lack of estimation in which she held him, Doings 1h Woddlafid f t The Ti‘ickLI; «Ti-(med on Bennie Fox. Bennie Fox grabbed up the bread and honey and ran down the road. f'How fine my scheme worked," chuckled Bennie to himself as he climbed upon the stone wall just around the, bend’in the road so that he might fully enjoy his delicacy. [He was just ready to take his first big bite when he spied something hanging from the branch of the tree above him. “What can that be,” he wondered to himself. He never saw anything that looked like that before. It was like a big paper sack full of air, but there were some little black holes in it and he could hear‘a funny buzzing noise on the inside. It ‘réally was the odd- est looking thing he ever saw. “When I finished my bread and honey,” he thought to himself, “I’ll climb up there and see what that is.” And he turned quickly to take a big bite of his bread and honey without even looking at it. Then “Ouchie OW, Ouchie Ow!” Some bees from what Bennie thought was the big paper bag up in the tree had flown down to get some of the honey that was on Bonnie’s bread. They had stuck fast and when Bennie had ,taken the bite without looking, he had gotten one right in his mouth and it stung him. Off the stone wall he jumped and down went the bread and honey with the rest of the bees into the dirt. Ben- nie went crying home with as very sore tongue and he thought he never would try to play a trick on anyone again. A GOOD RECORD. Dear Aunt Martha: I am a reader of Doings in Wood- land.

And some way, Houston felt that such a plea now would be cheap and taw- dry; they were in a world where there were bigger things than human aims and human frailties. Besides, he had looked his lips at the command of a grief-ridden woman. To open them in selfvextenuation would mean that she must be brought into it; for she had been the one who had clinched the points of suspicion in the mind of Me- daine Robinette. Were he now to speak of: proof that she had lied~— It was impossible. The wind-swept night became wind-swept dawn, to find him still huddled there, still thinking, still grim and drawn and haggard with sleeplessness and fatigue. Then he ,rose at a call from without: “Are you ready?” He affixed the pack. Together they went on again, graceless figures in frozen clothing, she pointing the way, he aiding her with his strength, in the final battle toward the summit of the range,—and Crestline.

There is a degree of real satisfaction when the warm days , come to open'wide the doors and win- dows and chase out the dirt and ac- cumulations of the winter months. But along. with the other house- cleaning problems, there is the one of storing the winter clothing. Itis here that‘the old adage, “An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure,” ap- plies, for to save silk and woolen and furs from the wily moth, one must use every preventative. To store unused woolens, silks and furs in an attic or clothespress will serve as an excellent breeding place for the moth. His best that all such material should be carefully cleaned before storing in order that no moths be present. They may be put up in several dif- ferent ways with a degree of safety. Paper bags or pasteboard boxes may be used for storage of these materials, but care must be taken to seal them carefully with gummed strips before putting them aside. A generous supply of moth balls may be sprinkled in to serve as an added precaution. Clothing free from moths may be stored in cedar chests or tight wooden boxes which have been painted on the inside with the oil of red cedar wood. This method is much to be preferred since odor of red cedar wood is pleas- ant to most people. All washable woolens should be washed and ironed before storing. Clothing must be aired, brushed and sponged before being packed away. Carpets and rugs ,should be cleaned and swept with a damp broom dipped in kerosene. Infested areas of carpets may be steamed, using a wet towel and a hot flat-iron. Closets from which moth—infested clothing has been removed should be wiped down with a damp mop mois- tened with kerosene, since the larva, when ready to pulpate, oftimes mi- grate i’or their food supply and fasten themselves to the ceiling and shelves.

MODERN GIRLS’ passe I8 HEALTHY. WILL girls of today be a weakened group of mothers because of the V modern methods of dressing for win- ter? ‘ clothing if worn properly is preferable to the old fashioned type,” answers Hazel Manning, clothing specialist of the University of Wisconsin. “Heavy woolen underwear as former- ly worn, did not allow suflicient air to reach the body.

Slippers and woolen stock- ings are preferable to high shoes be- cause of the ease of ‘wearing them. ‘ Silks Not Practical; “Silk underwear is warm enough but it is too expensive and hard to keep in good condition to be very uni- versally used. Dark silk which would' at first glance seem good is generally not advisable because the tendency is not to launder it frequently enough. “The bitter cold is met by golashes, heavy cloth and fur coats, and warm gloves which can be removed when in warm rooms.

When high shoes, unlimited petticoats, and even bustles were worm, to say nothing of the woolen underwear, the houses were poorly heated. If such an excess of clothing were worm in our well heated homes, girls would become so sensitive to' cold that the addition of a coat and the usual outdoor pro- tection would be insufficient.

T is difficult to estimate just the amount of toast the family will eat each morning. Save these shoes as they are of good bread, heavily but- tered. When enough of them collect to cover the bottom of a good—sized platter or to serve the family, pre- pare a dish of creamed meat of some kind. This may be creamed lamb, creamed dried beef, beef in brOWn gravy. Pour the hot creamed meat over the cold toast and set the platter on an asbestos mat in a hot oven for ten minutes. This last step is important as it gives the hot cream or brown gravy a chance to moisten the toast, and the toast itself becomes well heated by this means. Pieces of stale bread may be dried, put through the food chopper, and used for breading, for making dressing, bread puddings, or anything of that kind. ' They may also be used for simple puddings by buttering the bread, cutting it in small squares, and putting layers of.the buttered bread and berries or other fruit in a baking dish.

' terrible handicap, and, should 1a1 I’doétor prdnounce such a diagnosis as,- applicable to one of us it would come as a stunning blow—the end of every- thing. .some term of heart disease, perhaps we should be less fearful of it, and“ perhaps, on the other hand, we should treat it with more respect even though, with less dread. l _ I 'ventime the statement that any , group of a dozen people rounding fifty years of age, country or city folks, but a little better odds on the country group, 731 show nine defective hearts il’ critically examined. Out of that nine possibly five will live to a good age without realizing- that there is any impairment of their 'most important organ, two will discover their defect but not suffer seriously from it, and info will die of some form of disease of the heart. A goodly share of heat complaints are the direct result of neglecting com- mon points ofvinfection such as abs- cesses of the teeth or diseased tonsils. It has not yet been absolutely demon— strated wherein lies the avenue of con- nection between these apparently in- consequential ailments and the heart but its existence is beyond a doubt. The first t- )ught of a good doctor. who would treat heart disease, in young or old, is to see that such points of infection are cleaned up. Another very' important matter in pre— venting heart disease is to allow plenty ol' time to build strength after illness. The points (If this little lecture are two. First, that a diagnosis of heart, disease is not of necessity a death verdict. The disease is common enough. It is better to be warned of our state that we may respect our limitations than to go overtaxing an organ that needs consideration. Second: That if we. give respectable attention to the little. ailments of life, keep ourselves in good physical con- dition in the hard, grinding days of youth, take time to get well before re- suminghard work after illness, and, in general, show consideration of the wonderful machine that is our body, we need have little fear that our hearts will fail us in our prime. IHAS PAIN IN LEFT sins. I am .a woman 24 years of age, and for 3 months I have been bothered With a dull pain in my left side just below the waist line, especially when I exert myself. I feel low spirited and irritable. I have a baby nine months old. Could you please advise me what to do.—Mrs. C. B. T. Much of your trouble may come from lack of proper nutrition and in- sufficient sleep. Both these conditions are very common in young mothers. If extra sleep and nourishment fail to relieve ask your doctor to examine heart action and blood pressure. RELIEF FOR NEURITIS. Will you please tell through rural health if there is any cure for neuritis or scratica. It was brought on by whooping cough, a year agoa—W. H. Build up the body with nourishing food, protect the skin by wearing wool, and if possible put the affected part completely at rest. TROU BLED WITH NUMBNESS. Left side of my face and top of my head are numb and I have spells of extreme pain through left temple over the eye, which is swelled so I cannot open it. It is like paralysis. fiould you suggest or advise?-—Mrs. E. It seems like partial paralysis from' a blood‘clot. This is too serious a matter forhome care. You must havel If we realized how few persons f of middle. age are wholly free from ' competent medical care at once. . v o o "“ ,- -o o- ‘ -.- " [7 fuel stoves The Kitchenkook makes its own gas from common motor gasoline, ducing a clear blue flame free of smoke This safety test the safety of the Kitchen- proves kook.

H ARRY STROM, a Manistee coun-ty poultryman, knows exactly how much his hens cost him and how much they are making for him. He ‘also has some powerful evidence that good hens are worth considerably more than poor ones. - . During one week in March, a special breeding pen of 44 hens laid 218 eggs, an average daily record of 70.7% (100 percent being one egg each day for each hen.) During the same week, Mr. Strom’s general farm flock of 76. hens laid 269 eggs, an average daily record of 50.5 per cent. The record of the select pen is just two~fifthst greater than the total of the general flock pen. At 250 a dozen, after subtracting the feed cost of $6.58, Mr. Strom has a profit for the week’s eggs of $3.56, not counting his labor, of course. The profit on the selected pen of hens brought him in clear cash $2.13 for the week.,while the 76 hens in the farm flock only netted $1.43 clear, though there were almost twice as many hens in the flock. HATCHING PU LLETS’ EGGS. Will pullet’s eggs successfully hatch under proper conditions of incubation? —-H C D. We generally‘find that the eggs from year-old and two-year old‘ hens pro~ duce chicks that are larger, more plump and vigorous than the chicks fro’m pullet’s‘ eggs.’ However if the pullets are of good breeding and ap- pear to be well developed vigorous birds the chicks from their eggs may be very satisfactory and I should try to hatch them. Early hatched pullets which have laid in the fall and then taken a short winter rest often seem to produce chicks fully as good as iced. Write for illustrated catalog and price list.

This germ is transmitted to the baby chick through the yolk ,of— the newly hatched egg. Readers are warned to heWare of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until it kills half your chicks. Take the “stitch in time that saves nine.” Re- member, there _is scarcely a hatch with- out some infected chicks. Don’t let these few infect your entire flock. Pre- vent it. Give Walko in all drinking water for the first two weeks and you won’t lose one chickwhere you lost hundreds before. These letters prove it: Never Lost a Single Chick Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, Ind, writes: “I have lost my share of chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally I sent for two packages of Walko. I raised oVer 5.00 chicks and I never lost a single chick from White Diarrhea. Walko not only prevents White Diar- rhea, but it gives the chicks strength and vigor; they develop quicker and feather earlier.” Never Lost One After First Dose Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shennandoah, .. Iowa, writes: “My first incubator chicks, when but a few days old, began to die by the dozens with White Diar- rhea. I tried different remedies and was about discouraged with the chick- en business. Finally, I Sent to the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo, Iowa, for a. box of their Walko White Diar— . rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing for this terrible disease. We raised 700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost a single chick after the first dose.” You Run No Risk We Will send Walko White Diar- rhea Remedy entirely at our risk ~postage prepaid—soyou can see for yourself What a wonder—working rem- edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby chicks.

Some are very clever. , ' I read one letter a. week or two ago from'a girl who asked, “Do you think it wrong for a girl to Wear overalls or knickers when working on a farm?” I do not, decidedly, I think‘it is just good fun to get out doors and help on the farm if I don’t have tobe bothered with horrid ’skirts. ' Don’t you think it would be fun watching the boys as well as fun for the girls, if some law or something was passed, making the boys wear dresses and letting the girlswear over— ails? But then, I don’t think we girls would be satisfied because I’m sure each of us has some very becoming dress which we wouldn’t give up the fun of wearing if we had the chance. ——Myrthe Dexter, Albion, Mich, R. 4. I think you’ve said something. Pretty dresses are dear to the hearts of girls and boys would feel foolish in them. Dear Uncle Frank:—— . As long as all the Merry Circlers are wondering what your name is, I am going to tell you what I think. I think you are a girl and changed your name so we would not know it. Is not that so? I will close, with lots of love from your niece—Dorothy Simmonds, M. C. Climax, Michigan. Well, well, I’m surprised. sound like a. girl sometimes. not so. Do I No, it is Dear Uncle Frank : ——- ton so much that I want to write and thank you for them. I think the rules on the card are very good. I have not been able to attend high school so I am taking a correspondence course. I am able to make as good progress as those who attend the resi- dent high school. - I have lived on a. ranch in the west and on a farm here and I like country life the best for I have also lived in the city. ' Thank you, Uncle Frank, for 11sten- ing to my chatter. May I come again? From your niece, Frances K. See, Goodells, Mich. It is fine that you arranged for edu- cation even though you could not go to school. I am also glad that your experience makes you like best living in the country. Yes, come again. Dear Uncle Frank:— Broadcasting station, W. P. B. “Re- ceiving letter by the handfuls and am looking for more.” Hope you miss mine.

I probably didn’t care about letters or anything else when those papers were printed. Dear Uncle Frankz—k There certainly would be more life in Merry Circlers’ letters as you say if they started that bobbed-hair-knick- or question. As for me, I think knick- ers are all right for campers but I wouldn’t Wear them in town.‘ Bobbed hair looks all right on small children but I think it looks hiderous on old gray haired ladies.

I first joined a Red Cross club making bonnets, jack- ets and all kinds of clothing for the poor little children across the seas. I became very much interested so the next summer I joined a sewing club. This gave a. fine start and I continued. I have had four years in sewing and two years in canning also led a Club two years. _ Teaching sewing was fun for me and so with a bunch of girls and two boys that were willing to work, we made a. success. The boys surely made things lively. The first year I only had one boy and he was first boy to win a cer- tificate for sewing in the State of Michigan. My club was called the “Gilead Get There Club,” and we lived up to our name. . Club work has been a. great help to me. This year I entered as a Junior in the Battle Creek High School and was exempt from some of the sewing as 1 had it in the Club. High School teachers think a great deal of Club Work and often compare their work with that done by the Clubs. . When I finish High School I intend to enter M. A. C. and take a, “Home Economics Course.” I have a scholar- ship thcre that I won last summer 011 Household Management. had two trips to Lansing . These trips gave me an idea. of College and what c I have also. than you put it}. j ' it means to an ambitious young person. My fourth year seWing was sent to the State Fair at Detroit this fall and took first place there. / La Moine Wilkins, successful Calhoun County Club worker. You can get a great deal more out of Club Work than you put in if you just stick to it. Now just a word to the Boys and Girls who are just entering Club Work. With a big broad chest, at great big‘ smile and the Motto, “I muet “win," you are. surelgoing to ' “leg-are“ , ma .Mfch‘.‘ :1 mint; ‘1. would prefer ' foj‘be neutral regarding. bobbed hair onfgray' haired all melodies; ership card. . The . the burn that a boy of my, Uncle Frank, I‘think the boys ‘ tried as many contests .- 'can cent» It is an interesting subjectg ' get: out, :more . «.W v ROM what the hesitant 13.1113..- ‘ I know as: Weftheih are as- ing our motto, “Work to Win” and are finding that "It is 17611 to win. It cer- tainly is a test of patience to try for a dozen times or more, as some of the boys and girls have done, and not win a prize. Especially is it so after one has found it so easy to become a Merry Circler. Perhaps a little ex- planation of the. difference between getting pins and prizes will help. There is just this difference between a button and winning a prize. The pin is'received after one has made out a contest correctly and has shown some indications of trying to be neat. The Spring Context Spring is in the air! "We “feel it in 6111‘ bones." We know it is here but we rarely put down on paper what we think of spring 80, for this contest, I think we had better try our thoughts on “What Spring Means to Me.” Please do not write more than two hundred“ and fifty words on this subject. Put your name, address and your grade in school in the up- per left hand corner of your paper. If you are a Merry Cir- cler put M. C. after your name. If you write a letter put it on a separate paper- This contest closes April 11. The ten best papers will win prizes as follows: ‘The first two, fountain pens; the next three, ‘ flashlights; the next five, b6xes of candy. ~ _ All not members of the Merry Circle who send in good papers, will get. M. C. pins and member- .ship cards. Send your papers .to Uncle ‘ Frank, Michigan Farmer, 'De— (troit, Mich. _ stance, ones who get the prizes are those who send in the very best replies to the contests. There are several hundred who get buttons each week, while there are onlyten who get prizes. So, in the matter of prizes, you are in competition with many others, while‘ in case of the buttons you do not com- pete. Very often I get letters from con- testants saying that they answered every question correctly and had their papers written neatly but still did not win a prize. The reason is that others had more neatly arranged papers and therefore won the prizes. New way to Pick Prize Winners. This has really handicapped those who were not good writers, so I am going ’to use a slightly diflerent met- hod of giving prizes hereafter. I like to encourage neatness and do not want to do anything which will permit care- lessness to win out. But there are some who naturally and easily do neat work, while others have to try real hard still cannot do real neat work. I think that it is due the ones who try that they be given a better chance at: the prizes. So, hereafter, in the’Read. and-Win, Ad, Jumbled Letter and simi- ' wlar centests, I am going to pick out all who show that they have tried to be '1 neat and have followed the rules,‘and, of course, who have the answers cor- rect. prize drawing. Then each week as the contests closes, they will‘be put in a basket and the winners picked there from. This will give those who try .hard an equal chance at the prizes as those who naturally are neat with their work. _ Of course, this will not apply in our little essay, drawing, photo, and simi- lar contests. In these, the character of the work done will be the basis of judging the prize winners. For in- in the essay contests, the thoughts expressed and the manner in which they are expressed, will be com sidered more than neatness, although- neatness and arrangement'will also be factors. , As _I have been giving lately a lot of pointers on how to get up your con- test papers, I am going to be a little more severe in going over them. If a paper does not show that its writer has tried to be neat and follow direc- tions, he will not get an M. C. member- ship. . Now, please don’t let all this dis- courage you for if you will still find it easy to become a Merry Circler, and under the newer way1of picking prize winners, you will find iteasier to win a prize.

These particular organs, being the milk-making function, are often overworked and unable to throw off such diseases as Barrenness, Abortion. Retained Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, Lost Appetite. These ailments can be successfully treated é—and just as surely prevented—by the use of Kow-Kare, because it is especially de- signed to tone up and strengthen the di- gestive and genital organs. A proper func- tioning of these important organs eliminates the cause of disease. But the real profit of dairying today is made by keeping disease out while the milk- *!naking organs are working at top-notch.

HAYS, field agent of the Michigan Holstein Breeders’ Asso— ciation, is advising state breeders to make a strong bid for the dairy cattle business of the southern states. According to information coming to Mr. Hays southern farmers are plan- ning to raise less cotton and tobacco and keep more dairy cows. The Hol- stein breed is said to be popular in the south, making a. good market for many grade and pure breds produced in Michigan, if the business can be lined up.——M. J__ERSEYS SELL WELL.

I N the January and February reports of the Cow Testing Association work for Michigan published by the DairyrExtension Division of the Agri- culture College, Jerseys demonstrated their ability as heavy producers. The report each month includes the indi- vidual high cow in each Association as well as the high herd in fat produc~ tion. ' ' The January report showed that 8. Pure Bred Jersey owned by C. W. Johnson of Alto, was high cow for all cows milkedtwice daily, with 90.4 lbs. fat. The six cows leading other Asso- ciations and producing more than Mr. Johnson’s Jersey were all milked In there was only one cow milked twice a day that surpassed Mr. Johnson's cow. The other six with higher rec- ords forpthermonth were milked either three of four times daily. Although only 161/2% of all the cows in Cow Testing Associations in the State are Jerseys the report for January shows that 221/270 of all the Associations had Jerseys as high producers, and for February, 20.7%0f all Associations were headed by Jerseys. Another thing to consider in this connection is the fact that only one of the .Jersey cows listed as associa- tion leaders for each. month was milked more than twice daily, while in January 35.4% and in February, 26% of all the association leaders rep- resenting other breeds were milked three or four times daily. In the division showing the high herd in‘each association the January report had 23% and the February re- port 15'1/2% of all the Associations in the State headed by herds of Jerseys. Again it is best to recall that only Mil/5% of all the cows in the State in Cow Testing Association work are "Jerseys—H. E.

Veteran Holstein breeders in Livingston County pay their compliments to this excellent Jersey herd—A. C. B. TWO HOL‘STEIN ASSOCIATIONS BORN. HE week ending March, 22 records the birth of two County Holstein Macomb county’s infant drew first“ official breath on the 18th. Thirty-four breeders of the black and white bos- sies gathered at Davis and organized, assisted by J. G. Hayes, Holstein ex- tension specialist for the Michigan association, nounced. elected to act as chief nurse until for- mal organization is completed. Next day, at Inkster, the second birth occured. It is a wonder this child is not all black to be born in a place by that name; but she proved to have enough white markings to qualify as a Holstein. The name given to this infant was “The Wayne County Association.” Ten women folks at- tended the confinement to assure gt ,1tle treatment by the twenty men who were on hand. A board of five directors were elected: Elmer Riggs, Belleville; Sylvester Shear, Redford; Perry Hicks, Plymouth; Harold Stin- son, Flat Rock and Mark Lathers, Ink- ster.

REPLACE GRADES WITH PURE- ‘ ~ BREDS. AM informed that the State Admin- ' istrative Board has authorized. the purchase of thirty head of pure-bred cattle for the Branch State. Prison at Marquette. These will in part refplace ' grade animals now in use on the pris- on farm. For some years the State Hospital for the Insane at Newberry has stood out as having one of the finest dairy herds in the. peninsula. -Now the Marquette Priéon will get into line, presumably not through any spirit 0 rivalry, or desire to make a. fine display, but on giounds of econ- omy. Whether these animals will be pur- chased within the state or, as frequent- ly happens up here, from Wisconsin, is not known; but Dr. F. K. Hansen, assistant state veterinarian at Mar- quette, is authority for the statement that, judging by the carload of stock recently brought into Delta County from the Lower Peninsula with the aid of the Escanaba Chamber of Com— merce, as good stock can be bought within Michigan itself as anywhere. The Escanaba shipment came from near Howell. Indeed, if the present movement fer pure—herd stock in the Upper Peninsula continues, one can foresee a time when buyers will be looking to Upper Peninsula farmers for high-class, high-priced stock. Undoubtedly, the acquisition of a herd of pure-bred cattle at the Branch Prison at Marquette, will incidentally promote the better dairy movement throughout the peninsula and assist local farmers to build up their herds. SUPERVISORS BACK MchLLAN. . T its March meeting, the Chippewa county Board of Supervisors ap- proved the program recently formulat- ed by the county’s new agricultural Iagent, Mr. D. L. McMillan, for the pro« motion of dairying in Chippewa as a. substitute for the one-crop system that ,has hitherto prevailed there. Mr. McMillan proposes to go in for herds of high-grade rather than pure— bred cattle with pure-bred sires. Pure- bred cows will follow naturally and gradually. Poultry will also be pro— moted as an adjunct to dairying. Mr. McMillan, in outlining his program to the supervisors, advocated more alfal- fa on Chippewa farms especially in the townships bordering Lake Superior. Soil improvement must receive' at- tention and in this connection drain- age is highly important for Chippewa. Mr. McMillan asked the co-operation of the supervisors in taking a. cattle census, this spring, and this was promised. ' CONTINUES POLICY AT CHATHAM. R. G. W. PUTNAM, new director of the Michigan Agricultural Col- lege Experiment Station at?

'REVIEW GOGEBIC'S AGRICULTURL AL RESOURCES A T the west end of the Upper Penin- sula, an important conference re- lating to the agricultural and indus- trial development of the. section was . recently held at Wakefield. v‘ Speaking on the agricultural possibilities of Go: gebic County, Mr. C. E. Gunderson em- phasized the prime importance of dairying. Of the feed crops that flourish there, he called attention to the possibilities of clover, which is native to the region, and of corn which can be grown for - silage in most parts of the'country, and, where this is impracticable, sun- flowers can be substituted or mixed therewith. The dairyman can produce his own concentrate feeds from: his own oats and barley. Oats and peas are available for ensilage and every farmer can produce rutabagas and mangels. These are the chief dairy feeds in any section, Mr. Gunderson ‘ pointed out, and can all be grown loc- ally. Speaking at the same meeting, Mr. George Amundson, of the land- c-learing department of the Michigan Agricul- tural College extension service, said that more cleared acres are necessary in this section of the state if sufficient feeds are to be produced to keep pace with the advance of livestock there. Of 35,000 acres of farm lands in Goge— bic County, said Mr. Amundsen, about 16,000 acres are devoted to crops used as animal feeds. Each animal requires three acres of farm land to produce its feed. Thus the 7,308 head of stock in the county requires 2,025 acres to produce their feed if importation is to be avoided. The speaker computed that 2,704 acres must be cleared this year to keep up with the growing dairy industry of the se‘ction. This would mean a four- fold increase of land-clearing over the results of former years. Mr. Gunderson stated that, 20 years ago, Gogebic County—the western- most county of the peninsula,——.had 80 farms where there are now 841 in the county. He computes that the total annual income from these farms is $640,000 which is mostly spent locally. " As for present farm practice, Mr. Gun- derson insists. that too many far- mers of Gogebic County seed to much timothy with their clover. Milk and cream- making clover hay is what is required, he says. Timothy is horse- forage, not £01 cows. The agent’s re- cipeis a mixtu1e of from ten to tWelve pounds of alsike and medium red clo- ver seed and two or three pounds of timothy per acre- T HE Menominee County Agricultur- al Society is winding up its affairs according to the “Menominee Herald- Leader,” and preparing to dissolve 'its corporate existence, which has reached its legal duration of thirty years.

The meeting was attended by about 60 members from all parts ,0! the state and, sew, eraI representatives of large buying houses located in other states. That a continuation of the present depressed market condition could be expectedto follow was the concensus of opinion expressed by the assem- bled wool dealers, although it was quite evident that a brighter future was anticipated in the wool market. , One big, question, that of grading the farmers’ wool when buying, was ' brought up at the Lansing meeting, but this was literally “buried" under an avalanche of denunciations. “It can’t be done,” was the , keynote sounded by a. dozen impromptu speak- ers who voiced their ideas as to the impracticability of attempting to grade each producer’s fleeces before offering him what would be termed a fair price for his wool. " Claiming that they hadgbeen “work- ing against one another” for several years in their mad scramble for in- creased business, the local wood deal- ers declared, at their annual meeting, that the time is at hand for establish- ing wool marketing on something like a business basis. Profit cutting and reckless buying must be eliminated if the small buyers are to continue in the field, it was brought out. Under the peculiar and extremely delicate conditions of the world mar- kets, several members of the associa— tion explained, the small buyer can— not afford to “hold the bag” unless he “gets set on a fair buying price” and buys only what fleeces he can pro- cure at prices which he feels justified in paying even though his competi— tors may see fit to ofler a quarter of a cent more a pound. The European textile mills are running strong, it was stated, while the leading woolen manufacturers of the cast are merely keeping their wheels going, using but little raw material and buying this in exceptionally small quantities. , Eastern representatives, who were called upon for their views on the matter of heavy buying, declared that care should be exercised in the selec- tion of clips, maintaining that but lit- tle or no demand has existed or is liable to be felt for some time for fine fleeces. Considerable old wool re- mains to be disposed of today, these men claimed. With importations of foreign wools, which have been held under bond at the seaboard, being returned across the Atlantic to be sold at greater prof- its than they would bring on the American markets, and with the shelves of the big American textile mills practically denuded of domes—' tic fleeces, it was contended that the prospects of better times ahead could be anticipated, although it might and ' probably would require several months for conditions to be brought up to a morenearly normal state. A basic price, averaging around 40 cents a pound, seemed to be consid- ered the “fair” price for the 1924 clip of Michigan wool. Local conditions, it was admitted, would influence the buying price, but old prices of 50 cents and more a pound were looked upon as the “crumbling foundation of the local buyer's ambition to make good in a single season.” Some buy- ers “given expressed the belief that a basic price approximating 45 cents a pound would be justified, although- these some ‘men admitted that the buyer might have to continue to be op- timistic, for several months at this price (flaring. .

Reliable -‘l‘ransport During almost every winter there comes to Michigan at least one ’ period in which all inter-city transportation fails, except that fur- nished by the State’s 24- steam Railroads. Such a period followed the snowfall of February 19, 1924. ' During that period, traffic was suspended on even the most ex- tensively traveled trunk highways. Automobiles, trucks and buses. either"remained indoors or were deserted and left in the drifts, awaiting aid from the highway authorities. is Yet, throughout this entire period, no community in Michigan suffered for food or fuel. For the railroad trains moved, carrying the freight and passengers entrusted to their care. Railroad men fought day and night against the storms, that this service might The railroads consider it a Compliment that Michigan always ex— pects good railroad service, even complaining occasionally, it midwvinter trains vary from fairweather schedules. The expenses Of this service under storm conditions are always excessive—and the state pays no part of the bill as it does for highway snow clearing. Railroad men incur the hardships and railroad capital pays the bill. Will you recall, next July, that the Railroads hauled in your winter food and fuel despite 6 foot snowdrifts which shut. off other means of transportation?

' “But will wool come down like it did several years ago,” somebody The best answer to this'is that the enormous stocks of wool then on hand in the world, particularly in London from Australia and New Zealand, ‘amounting to 2,600,000 bales, has been used up. There, is 20% less wool in sight for 1924 than there was in 1923. Cotton is high in-price, owing to the boll weevil, and no appearance of any change or tend toward lower prices. Sheepgand lambs for slaughter have appreciated about 15% over last year, and a portion of that advance is the anticipated price of wool.

Illa. than». thirds of the wool in Michigan is bought on a commission basis, dealer paying the range of prices he is advised by his principal and in no sense participates in price making. Just a few men in each state have the say in regard to price. If the grower this year Will leave his wool in his own storage and await the price’s advance to fifty cents, he aids in securing that price. A report from these agencies to their princi- pals of no wool being offered for sale has its effect. To make a long story short, the average clip of Michigan wool based on supply and current prices of other textiles is worth firty cents per pound to the grower. A little concerted use of the telephone in each county among growers as to a. price level of fifty cents per pound would add greatly to the concert of action. This price is the basis of wool on lambs as com— pared to shorn stock, and it is abso- lutely a proper price for the farmer’s shorn wool. It is to be observed that the spread between fine and medium wools is very small. Conditions have changed very much in this regard when fine wools were worth from ten to fourteen cents above medium wools. This is because of change of styles and also the tariff. Since the medium wools shrink less and are superior to imported wools of the same class in strength of fibre, growers should not allow discrimina—. tions against medium wools. Why Michigan medium wools are in demand is that they have the strength and can be used with the more tender wools in making a good wearing fabric. Michigan will have close to eight million pounds of wool to market. ' These figures are rather approxima- tions, as circumstances sometimes de- termine whether wool is sent to mar- ket on the lamb’s back, or sham and sold as fleece wool. The. U. S. De- partment of Agriculture advises that the ’ Plenty of Pure Water, Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter, Pleases the Pigs. who buys the wool on the peek are very sure of their position and the fleece wool producer should note their attitude and support their motion—J. N. McBride. HERE LET HIM SATISFY HIS H-OGGISH NATURE. E are just glad that hogs like water—fresh, clean, pure water— in abundance. If they did not like water, they might then be demanding a substitute that is more costly to provide. ‘ I The good hog man sees that every hog on his premises has every ounce of this liquid elixir of life that is needed. He does not stint where the cost is so little and the results are so certain. The pig drinks more D unds than he eats, is the statemen of John M. Evvard from across the hills of Iowa. Piggies’ all important body when very young may carry as high as 80 per- cent of water, and from this down to as low as 35 percent when he is well- fitted for the shambles. See, therefore, that he has plenty of liquid refresh- ments that are not too cold in winter, nor too hot in summer. LINSEED OILMEAL Is BETTER FOR CATTLE. ESULTS obtained in two years experimenting and the results of other stations in work along the same line indicate that linseed oilmeal is superior to cotton seed for fattening calves, yearlings and older cattle, is a report from the experimental station at Ames, Iowa. Linseed oilmeal is superior, it is claimed, for making cheaper daily gains, in enlarging the animals’ capa- city for feed, in bringing about les- sened feed requirements and in mak- ing for enhanced selling values. Cattle that have been finished on linseed oil- meal bring a higher price on the mar: ket than those finished on cotton seed meal, as a rule. -—M. . .. ,.

We have not had- ser- vice at our church since August 1921. I have beennsing a, home made set for receiving. We feel that we could hardly ' get along anymore without these reports, and besides we are pas— sing the good work along to our neigh- bors over our community telephone lines. ~ "We ‘Hili—Billies’ out in thé‘stlcks’ look upon radio as a blessing direct . from God. . “Besides the reports on livestock, eggs, cream, hitter, poultry, hay and all kinds of grain, etc., we usually lis- ten in to a good sermon or two on Stanley and good lectures which we could never hear in any other way.” Earl Bammack, another farmer, wrote: “We are. governed by the mar- keting service almost entirely. I_ think it is the most help the farmer has at presen.’ Middle West Keen for it. “It was somewhat of a surprise to me," said Mr. Gilbert, “to see that most of the 600 letters we recently received from our request as to whether the service was of value came from’our best agricultural territory; but when I came to analyze the situa- tion I found that these farmers are up on their toes and eager to take advan- tage of the market whenever there is opportunity. They have their whole output involved. “These 600 replies by no means rep- resent the total number of outfits used in receiving our reports. A large num- ber, of course, did not bother to write to me, leaving it up to their neighbors. Then, too, many of the receiving sets are owned by people who pass on the information to neighbors. Among the latter class are farm bureaus, high school, banks, granges, dairy compan- ies, telephone companies, elevators and millers. In some places the re- ports posted are on bulletin boards and. in others it is telephoned to farmers in the vicinity. “The price of sets which farmers are using range all the way from a few dollars for the small crystal sets with a, very limited range to about $250 for the best outfit capable of receiving not only markets from nearby cities but entertainment and lectures from the high‘powered stations from the distant points of the country. These ‘better Sets. are guaranteed to keep you up late enough so you ‘get Chili’ be- fore you crawl into feather bed. Many farmers in writing to the Bureau say they have spent from $7..» to $150 for a set for the main purpose of getting market reports. Thus frequently know- ing the market even before many of the local merchants have the informa- tion. And what is it possible to pick out of the aid in the way of market re- ports? A list of the radio crop and market news service given by more than 80 broadcasting stations known as radio news schedules has recently been given out by Mr. Gilbert and may be obtained by writing to him, care of the United States Department of Agri- culture. The subjects of weather, crop and market reports used to be broadcast. on 385 meters, while enter- tainment, news, etc., were on 360 to 400 meters, but since May 15 each station has its own wave length thus making it easier to tune in on the dif‘ ferent stations. The market reports as broadcast from the Bureau of Agricultural Econ- omics cover a large area. The weather forecast is sent out morning, noon and evening. In. the morning the market reports. from five or more large mar? kets and a “flash” on the hog market at Chicago and St. Louis is given out. The livestock markets are again broad- cast along. with fruit and vegetable shipmg points and on certain days " “feed‘markets are included To- 1e vening a resume of the day’s 110‘ Servwc for the Farmer .

Local markets is sent out from numerous stations throughout the United States thus making it possible for farmers in ‘qvery section of the country, who enjoy the privilege of a radio set, to secure the oflcial mar- ket reports. -————————_—_ / FEED EWES FOR MILK FLOW. AS soon as the lambs have arrived and straightened around for busi‘ ness, attention- should be given to feed ing the ewes for milk flow. How well the ewes can keep the lambs growing rapidly and ruggedly, depends upon the material the ewes are supplied with . to keep up the flow of milk for the off- spring. I find it good practice to look ahead in the management of the flock. Plenty of pasture is essential. Also one ought to have it arranged, at least we have found it so, to change the sheep from one pasture to another at least once a. week during the growing season. On account of the succulent nature of the early pastures, we have found it advisable to continue giving the ewes grain ration after they are out to grass. The ration of oats, corn,'and bran, mixed as we do for winter feed- ing serves verynicely for this purpose. —L. C. Reynolds. GERMAN MEAT MARKET IMPROVES. HE German meat situation has greatly improved owing to the stabilization of the currency, E. C. Squire, agricultural commissioner in Berlin, told the Farm Hands Club this week. their livestock in large numbers, and there is a. general increase in slaugh— tering, especially of hogs. Although the situation is not so optimistic as a year ago, there is a large increase in hog production. The increase in slaughtering is being reflected in de—3 creased imports of bacon and lard. The German flour milling industry, having difficulty in meeting competi- tion of the" mills of the United States and Canada, has joined with the Ger- man farmers in asking for a tariff on flour. In February more than fifty meetings of farmers and millers were held to demand relief by an import duty on flour. GOVERNMENT MARKET REPORTS NECESSARY. VAST development of the cooper- ative marketing of livestock is developing a situation where some system of government market news reporting is necessary. It was shown in hearings before the sub-committee on the agricultural appropriation bill that the livestock market reporting journals published at these yards re- fuse to carry the sales of co-opera— tives which frequently are higher than the price paid by old line cont» mission dealers. The result is that these papers do not reflect truly the prices on the mar— ket nor do they sub—divide the grades and class so that a farmer can get the necessary information from them. It will require $60,000 in addition to that which is provided in the present bill for market news service if these five eastern markets are to have the livestock market news service which the farmers are so anxious to see pro- vided. Do not overlook the advantages of the self-feeder in caring for the pigs. By getting their feed from a. feeder they eat more, thereby making larger gains, and come to marketable size at an eariler date. Less feed is required to make gains and much labor is eliminted.

Demand for cash Wheat has about the same breadth as in the past month. Primary receipts have fallen off and must be supple- mented by moderate withdrawals from the visible supply. Crop damage re- ports have not assumed importance marketwise. Seeding spring wheat is reported to be proceeding more rapidly than usual at this season. If spring wheat acreage is reduced as much as indicated by the govern- ment’s survey of intentions to plant the total area in spring and winter wheat will be about 56,300,000 acres. Rye shows occasional signs of strength. This grain is already ex— tremely cheap and Germany has been making inquiries as Russia seems to have delivered less than the full amount contracted for. Reports on the new rye crop are none too favor- able. CORN After showing resistance for a long time, speculative selling finally broke out in corn. Cash corn is still dis- appearing at a rapid rate to fill old sales but distributors report that the volume of new demand, especially from the eastern states, is small. There is little doubt that the principal surplus states have a large amount of corn to dispose of during the next six months. Planting the new crop of corn in the southern states is being delayed by unfavorable weather. Poor seed corn may produce unsatisfactory stands. OATS developed weakness in days, partly in sympathy ne on Canadian markets t from Canada to the east. cash oats is fairly broad are running light.
