Valuable news iii

in a simple statement _

There is actual news for the farmer in the
statement that now “it costs no more to
buy 3 Kelly.” ‘ '
For many years, Kelly—Springfield tires
were sold at a higher price than the best ot
the “standard” tires but those who wanted
the best at any price bought Kellys.

Living up to traditions, never c'heapening
the product to meet competition, the busi-
ness grew until a great new plant—one of
the world’s biggest and best tire factories—-
was built.

In this plant the Kelly-Springfield quality
has been further improved and the cost of
production greatly lessened.

It is as important news to the farmer as to
the city man, that he may now secure the
greater mileage, the additional surefooted-
ness, and the priceless peace of mind that
Kelly tires afford, at the same price he
would have to pay for an ordinary tire.

as well as the costs already deducted in order to determine the

This contest is. fostered by the Mich-
igan Crop Improvement Association
and the Farm Crops Department of
the Michigan Agricultural College, for
the purpose of interesting farmers in
better varieties, and. bringing out val-

 

 

of us thinking that there are practices

well worth doing which have been giv-
‘ en far too little cOnsideration. Mich‘
igan’s average yield in 1923 was thir-
ty—four and one-half bushels per acre.
This spring, the “Michigan Corn
Growing Contest Club” will start its
second year. They want a lot of new
recruits. We would like to see a hun-
dred men in the club this year. If
you think you can grow corn, join the
club and let’s see how much you can
make from every acre of corn you
grow. Final placings are based. and
awards made, on profit per acre. Un-
doubtedly yields can be boosted so
high that the profit begins to decline,
but who knows what this yield will be
for Michigan farmers?

\Ve are most interested in getting
greatest profits per acre and the re-
sults last year indicate' that yield per
acre is one of the most important fac-
tors; yet the cost of producing that
acre must 'receive no less careful con-
sideration from growers. Doesn't it
seem to indicate that many of us may
find that by putting in less acres, but
giving that acreage better care, just
as many bushels of corn can be raised
with more profit at the end of the
season? Let’s see.

The average farmer produced 34.5
bushels per acre, value being $26.91 at
a. cost up to h'arvest of $11. (Land

. rental and other overhead expenses
' have not been included). 011 five acres,

he produced 172.5 bushels, value $134.1
55; cost up to harvesting as figured in
the chart, $55. Mr. Laughlin grew_172.5
bushels on 2.08 acres last year. It
cost him $25.17 to grow this acreage,
as against 355 for Mr. Average Farm-
er, a saving of almost $30, because Mr.
Laughlin had 2.98 acres to plow, pre-
pare and cultivate, against the aver-
age man’s five acres.

The morale plain: We can grow

 

uable cultural practices followed by
our best corn growers.

There are no fees other than that
each contestant must be a member of
the Michigan Crop Improvement Asso=
elation (membership, $1.00-per year).
Each contestant must enter five acres,
but it may, if desired, be a five-acre
field or any five contiguous acres in a.
larger field. Contestants also must
keep accurate account of seed planted,
manure and commercial fertilizer ap~
plied and time and labor spent on all
operations. Otherwise, they would not
know how much it cost per acre. All
the contestants must be enrolled by
July 1. .

How is your seed corn germinating?
In the corn belt they are finding their
seed corn with a very low germination
due to high moisture content last fall.
Many Michigan farmers are finding
their seed corn in poor condition this
spring. You cannot afford to replant
your corn in this contest; neither can
you afford to wait until planting time
to order seed corn if you need any,
for this year’s seed corn which has
high germination is rapidlymoving.

The Michigan Crop Improvement
Association will otter this year, as last,
gold medals to all growers raising 1.00
bushels of shelled corn per acre; sil~
ver medals to all raising eighty-five to
100 bushels per acre and bronze med-
als to all raising seventy-five to eighty-
five bushels per acre. But notice only
one man qualified for a medal. If you
are a good corn grower and in need
of a gold watch charm, then go after
their offer. Lay your plans early and
get away with a good start.

ment and inquiries for further details,

They’ s a pretty good kick in that
sentence, too, after yOu read it

the second time, but it begins to look

like me and you was going to have a

bigger kick Coming if there ain’t some-

thing drastic done to relieve the cider-
flooded market causedby a over pro-
duction of cull apples.

.. Now», they’s maybe half a dozen
ways of preventing a cider glut. For
instance, vigorous pruning of the trees
with a axe about six inches from the
ground is'one; a less severe method
would be to educate the people to
drink cider for breakfast instead of
coffee; or we might put our apples up
in cans and label them “Sardines.”

But I got another idea or two up my

sleeve and, if you’ll just tune in to

station WHIZ we’ll broadcast our
stuff.

All hooked up? Let’s go!

A good many semesters ago, me and
a lot more tillers of the soil was list—
ening in on a speech some dairyman
’ from Wisconsin was giving and, I re-
member, he comes right out and said
that if any of his audience was figur-
ing on making money in the dairy bus-
iness they’d have to get rid of the
boarders.

Now a boarder, as applied to that
end of the'game, means a cow that
you’re keeping instead of it’s keeping
you. One with a butter-fat record of
zero minus when the rations and books
are both balanced. They require just
as much care, eat just as much alfalfa,
drink just as much water‘as the ladies
that bat 300 but, on paper, they make
good dried beef and that’s all.

Not being a dairyman, I wasn’t par-
ticularly interested in the spiel but,
after I gave it the upand down, it
occurred to me that that old cow
puncher had the right slant on the cow
industry and, the more I turned it
over in my feeble mind, the more I

Cooperating to C

HE cooperative association for

the purpose of supplying the

farmer with the supplies which
he needs in production is offering a.
service which tends to decrease the
.costs of production. A means is pro—
vided whereby the small individual
farmer is permitted to secure the ben-
' efits of large scale buying, even
though his purchases are small.

It is through such an organization
that the buying power of a commu—
nity is mobilized and made to bring a
benefit to each person in the neighbor-
hood. The main purpose of such a
buying association is to‘ provide a ser-
vice to each of its members. It is not
prompted by the profit incentive as is
the case of the individually owned
concern. .

The cooperative association which
is well managed provides the\farmer
with information concerning the mar-
ket. The buyer does not necessarily
have to be on his guard while making
_ purchases. The cooperation is for the

purpose of supplying the farmer with
. the things he needs at the lowest pos-
sible cost. There is not the incentive
to make a profit on the things handled

While the cooperative buying busi-
ness has not developed to a great ex—
tent there are quite a number of them
scattered throughout the United
States. The annual business of such
associations ‘amounts to about one
hundred million dollars. In the state
of Michigan, farmers buy each year
approximately two and one-half mil-
lion dollars worth of goods coopera—
tively.

This type of business is really just
in its infancy. As farmers gain more
experience in this phase of coopera-
tion, and as they begin to realiZe the
benefits which well-managed and prop-
erly conducted organizations can bring
to them, more emphasis is going to be
placed on this type of cooperation.
Some of the great handicaps of the
past were due to lack of efficiency in
management. Farmers did not have

the world, but they were the best
babies in that collection. If I was
setting out another orchard I know
absotively there wouldn’t be more than
three varieties and they’d be the ones
that brings in the most apple jack,
provided, of course, they could be
grown in my locality. If the standard,
desirable market kinds can’t be raised
where you are at, take my advice and
plant bullrushes~they’re more profit-
able.

If you was to look up the data on

all the big celebrated orchards you’d
find they was all pretty scarce on
varieties. One of the finest apple
groves the world has ever known was
located and planted by some Greek in
the Garden of the Hesperides, and
when old Atlas run over to pick the
pie-makers for Hercules he come back
with just one kind, Grimes Golden.
The Garden of Eden, which is consid-
ered the model orchard, was filled
with the finest kind of trees, and yet
the records show only one apple, name-
ly, Adam’s. And I’ll bet when Wm.

If a guy wants to establish a mus-
eum out in his orchard it‘s all right to
stick in all the different kinds listed,
but, at that, I’d be willing to bet that
the time will come when he’ll either
convert it into a few nice cords of
stove wood or else hire some one of
our numerous grafters to change it to -
a profitable selling apple.

I won’t begin to hint at what kinds
to plant neither, for what‘s sauce for
the goose ain’t always apple sauce
for the gander. One of the neighbors
asked a while ago What variety I
thought he ought to set out and I told
him “Hyslop.” He’s so crabby. Then

been mixed up to the detriment of
both. In spite of the handicaps of the
past and the mistakes which farmers
have made, cooperative buying is ren-
dering a great service in many in-
stances.

In certain parts of Michigan there
are farmers’ organizations which are
rendering a. real service to the com-
munities in which they are operating.
Good managers are in charge. Farm-
ers have learned more about business.
These organizations are operating for
purposes other than mere savings
which accrue from better prices. They
are agencies which are working for
better agriculture. More alfalfa bet-
ter bulls, proper fertilizer, cow test-
ing, elimination of the boarder cow,
better schools and better communities
are the objectives these organizations
are striving for.

The ,local buying association has
worked to bring advantages to the in-
dividuals of the communities by get-
ting them to work together. Results

have been accomplished and savings

made which would have been impossi-
ble by individuals working alone. Ag-V
riculture is broader than the limits of
a certain community, the same as it
extends across the property line of the
individual farms. communities are af~
fected by what happens in other plac~
es. As the individual farmer has been
handicapped in buying his supplies by
himself, so is the individual commu-
nity handicapped in buying for itself.

The efficient manager of the local
organization has information about
markets and materials which the av-
erage farmer does not have and can
buy to a better advantage. However,
the markets are so extensive that the
local manager cannot secure all the
information which is necessary for
him to have when he is bargaining
with the salesman from the supply
houses.

The growth of cooperation has been
viewed without pleasure by the pri-
vate dealers. Large supply houses did
not greatly approve of the movement.
At times cooperatives were discrimi-
nated against, in some cases even to
the extent of refusing to fill' their or-‘

CURRENT COMMENT

HE farmers of the

Woulanp— country are in
ple Parcel danger of losing the
parcel post service

Past which has proven it-
self of real value

’since its inauguration over a decade
Ago. A bill known as House Bill 7016,
has been introduced in congress by
Representative Page, of Massachw
s‘etts, under the title, “A bill reclassi-
fying the salaries and compensation of
postmasters and other employes of the
postal. service, re-adjusfing their sal-
aries and compensation on an equita-
ble basis, and for other purposes.”

While this bill is presented under
the cloak of doing justice by paying
. our splendid army of postal employes
on a more equitable basis for services
. rendered, the real danger to the farm-
er comes under the provisions of the
bill “for other purposes.”
Included in the “other purposes” is
a provision which, if it becomes law,
will increase parcel post rates from
200 to 300 per cent over those now
obtaining. The bulk of the parcel post
business has been built up in serving
the farmers in the open country. The
difficulty in manning the postal ser-
vice is found, not on the rural routes
and small towns, but in our great cit-
ies. It would appear, therefore, that
‘ in this measure it is proposed to gain
. the good will of the large army of
postal employes, possibly for political
purposes during the coming campaign,
to increase the personnel of the city
post offices and to make the farmer
foot the "bill, While a great volume of
inter-city business would be thrown
over to the express companies through
these increased rates.
I This effrontery should be met by
petitions and individual letters from
our farmers to every congressman and
‘ both senators of the state, demanding
, I that the proposed increase, or any in-
“ _ crease“ in parcel post rates be defeat-
. ed. It is our further opinion that a
standard scale of wages to cover the
whole United States would neither be
just nor equitable, since living condi-
. lions vary widelyln difierent sections
of the country.

and bought whatever we wanted,- or

came, we saw our mistake, and ever
since we have been depressed because
of it.

We all say, we will never make that
mistake again; but, several million,
having been unable to put up wuh
their share of the depression. have
sold out for what they could get and
run off poll melt to the city after house

have seemed pretty good when their
old neighbors back home were having
such a hard time; but, now that these
migrants are being laid on; thousands
of them in every industrial city. where
their scant savings will not last long,
they are beginning to realize that they
have made thesame kind of a mistake
as before, and are face to face with
another hit of depression.

“'5 Those of us who have stuck to the
old farm, saved and sacrificed and
worked as we never have worked be-
fore, even in the face of a very dis-
oouraging outlook, are beginning to
see the dawn of better times with the
evil effects of our mistakes corrected
and depression gradually giving way
to a feeling of safety and security.
We have a sort of intuitive feeling
that our position on the old farm may
be changed from the deplorable one
that it has been, to a more enviable
one among the occupations of the
world's people.

fort to see‘ the school children present
a better health program

One of the important features of this
program was a dramatized representa-
tion of the value of milk. The various
elements that make milk so vital a.
food, and the function of each of these
elements were so clearly presented
that the youngest children could read-
ily understand, while adults sat in
closest attention to the end of the play.

These plays are bound to result in

a larger consumption of milk, particu-
larly among the children. Two cases
in particular have come to our atten-
tion. In one case a little girl of six
who had taken milk only under more
or less strenuous protest, immediately
upon arriving home from the above
play called for a glass of milk. An—
other girl of the same age awoke after
she had gone to sleep that night, and
called for a glass of milk. Further,
the parents, on leaving the school
building were generally talking of the
value of milk in their diet.

This is certain to have‘its influence
upon the demand for dairy products,
for this program does not happen to
be an isolated piece of school work.
While a few years ago the salesman
and women from dairy substitute man-
ufacturing concerns could be found
lecturing to the school children on the
virtues of oleo and kindred products,
there is now concerted action through-
out the country in holding similar ed-
ucational gatherings to teach young
and old of the value of dairy products
in our diet.

It is more or less coincident that
since the public schools have been put~
ting on these health programs, the con
sumption of milk per capita for the
country has increased from forty-three
gallons in 1920, to fifty gallons in 1922,
the last year for which we have any
statistics

This educational want is given
further character by the fact that offi-
dal sanction is now given the program

This country has passed the virgin
land stage of agriculture and is now
in that period when land has to ”be
kept in a good state of fertility by
modern agricultural methods. Today-
men of scientific ability study the
causes and effects of certain agricul-
tural practices in order that your acre
and mine may produce more for less
in money and energy.

No, we can not turn as Gmdpa

gether too large percentage of the
fumersstillflainkwecan. It has been
found that many farmers will have
nothing to do with these searchers for
and teachers of new truths in turning.
That many farmers can not be coaxed
to do more for themselves by using
better methods. They hate to break \
new paths, but with persistency, fob
low as closely as possible the footsteps
of their forefathers.

. With these facts before us, we who
remain on the farms can hardly look

lesser production is necessary, it
might better be brought about by hav-

Partee --

THE outer night we went pm
to a partee which was of consid-
erabul digkueetee.

It was like this. We went to see
this young marred woman I was tellin’
you about, to see how sorry she was

~ about it, and likewise to see what she
acquired in the transactshun.

First we had a ride incur Oughtocs
fer a hour, which was a. inducemuut
fer goin’. Then there was some .of
them high school girls along, which
made it a happy event for the men of
the partee.

The first number on this formal
program was what the perfessor calls
a musicul prelude. The ,solo part of
the music was on a, horse fiddle played
by Mr. Werner.

There was a exceptshun. . The wives
kinda naturally gravitated to a corner
where they sat laughin’ painfully at
how foolish their husbands kin act

Well, we found this young marred

ward. While we have
depreciated the fact that conditions
have made such a move advisable on
the part of many people. we have
gloried in the spunk of t Jalkmericau
people who can so readil adjust them-
selves to conditions as th I9nd them.
.We do not attempt to to ecast the
effect upon those who so readily shift
their scene of action from one field to
another, but as we have said before,
their rush to the factories and the big
wages, will all the sooner bring back
prosperity to those who stick to the
farm.

In a recent issue, Mr. I. D. Rover
expresses himself as believing this
movement of farm population to the
big industrial centers. to be the one
thing that will help solve the present
difficult farm problem. We are inclin—
ed to think he may be very close to
the truth.

Another authority believes an indus-
trial depression would not fall so hard
on the farmer as upon other folks and
hence would place him. in a better
comparative position. Prosperity at
the expense of the other fellow is not
permanent, however, and while misery
loves company, adding depression to
depression does not lend encourage-
ment to universal content and satis-
faction. \

A great many people have a notion
that a boom in exports should be
brought about by miracle orot‘herwlse,
but along comes a sthtement from
Secretary of agriculture 'WallaCe, to .

wives to try this kickin’ stunt, ’cause
we know how they kin kick, but we
didn’t know’them girls could, so we

performance. .-

Well, after the cold icy stares of
our wives made the fever of the occa-
shun subside,.we et what we brought
and drank .some Volstead brew. Then
we left the house in disorder and the
young couple relieved.

practices in agriculture and in home

through the organized club; that local

“ leadership can be trained to lead such
‘ small groups of farm boys and girls,

and that the influence of club work
can be spread through such means as
olub exhibits, stock judging contests,

..county tours, sales,achievement days

and team demonstrations. It has been

and girls can be reached by adjusting
club projects to their needs.

With the expansion of county exten-
sion programs to. include club work,
club work has become increasingly ef-

fective. Two other factors in improv-
ing the quality of.club work in Mich-
igan are the intensive supervision giv-
en by the county. extension agents and
the/increased assistance given by spe-
cialists at theragricultural college.

The club projects now under way in
Michigan are:

Summer Season—Corn, bean, pota-
to, pig, calf, sheep, poultry, canning,
cooking, garden. ‘

Winter Season—Home management,
clothing, handicraft, hot lunch.

_ By“ Ray A. Turner

State Leader qf Bayr’ and Cir/1’ Club War!’

At the present time, it is quite gen-

erally agreed that the main’obJeCt of
club work is to establish better prac-
tices in agriculture and in home-mak-
ing through farm boys and girls in
such a way that, at the same time,
there Will be developed in these young
people, leadership, community respon-
sibility and citizenship, together with
a sounder understanding of farm and
home life.
. One of the outstanding results of
this work is the development of desir-
able attitudestoward rural life which
will be advantageous to farm boys and
girls whether they remain in the coun-
try or ultimately live: in the city.

Boys’ and girls’ club work afiords
opportunity for farm boys and girls in
their own communities to develop re-
It is recognized that if
farm boys and girls are to become
right-minded ’voting members of so-
ciety, opportunities in their own com-
munities must be provided for them to
develop in such work as “junior citi-
zens” during the impressionable and
formative period of their lives.

Big Men Interested.

From the earliest days of club work,
a keen interest has been manifested
by men of affairs, but a greater inter-
est is now being manifested than ever
before. Without a doubt the National
Committee on Boys’ and Girls’ Club
Work, with headquarters in Chicago,
has been largely responsible for this.

It is believed that the acceptance by

.President Coolidge of hOnorary chair-

manship of that committee constitutes
an important step forward. Many
farm 'boys and girls have looked with
keen interest upon the boys’ and girls’
scout organizations, and the prestige
and impetus given such organizations
through the prominent men and wom-
en backing thein. Therefore, now that
club work has the support of the Pres-
ident and of other leading citizens,
farm boys and girls may have that
same sense of importance that has
heretofore been felt by our city ‘young
people.

Among the many men and organiza-
tions in Michigan who are manifesting
an active interest in boys’ and girls’
club work, are Acting-President R. 8.
Shaw, of M. A. 0.; Mr. L. Whitney
Watkins and Mr. W. B. Hartman, of
the State Department of Agriculture;
Mr. G. W. Dickinson, secretary—man-
ager of the State Fair; Mr. Burt Wer~
muth, editor of the Michigan Farmer;
Mr. W. E. Burris, president of the
Michigan Association of County'Fairs;
Mr. George E. Bishop, manager of the
Upper Peninsula, Development Bu-
reau; Mr. M. L. Noon, president of
Michigan State Farm Bureau; Mr.
George Otwell, of the State Depart-
ment of Public Instruction; Mrs. F. B.
Smith, of the State Federation of
Women’s Clubs; Mrs. Dora Stockman,
of the State Grange; Mrs. M. H. Gros-
venor, director of Detroit City Gar-
dens, and many, many others.

Of the several organizations backing
club work in Michigan, the following
are representative: Michigan Crop
Improvement Association, Michigan
Potato Producers’ Association, Mich-
igan Potato Growers’ Exchange, The
Agricultural Commission of the Mich-
igan Bankers’ Association, Upper Pe-
ninsula Development Bureau, Michigan
Holstein-Friesian Association, etc.

ninsula except for the extreme south-
ern part, while, on the other hand, soy-
beans are exceptionally well adapted
to the southern part of the Lower Pe-
ninsula where corn is grown for grain.

Cats and peas, and oats and vetch
gave exceptionally high yields in the
Upper Peninsula, quite good yields in
the northern part of the Lower Penin-
sula, and were only fair in the south-
ern part of the Lower Peninsula.

The feeding value of these short sea-
son hayrcrops also vary widely when
grown in different parts of the stay.
Also, roughages low in protein a d
suitable for wintering horses, are fre~
quently not at all suitable for milk
production. Millets, Sudan grass and
corn stover are low in protein, while
soy-beans are very high in protein and
high quality soy~bean hay is equal in
feeding value to alfalfa and clover hay.
Oats and pea, and oats and vetch hays
are much higher in protein than mil—
let, Sudan grass and corn stover, but
are not as high in protein as soy-bean
hay and clever hay.

Time of Sowing.

Short season hay crops may be di-
vided into two general groups, accord-
ing to the time of sowing as spring-

sown and summer-sown crops. Crops
such as oats, peas and vetch should
be sown during the early spring. If
sown late, hot, dry summer weather
will stunt the growth and the yield
will be disappointing. These crops are
usually ready to harvest during mid-
summer, at a time when weather con-
ditions are most favorable for hay
making.

Summer-sown Crops.

Millets do best during warm weath-
er so should be sown about the first
of June and are ready to harvest in
from sixty to seventy days after sow-
ing, which is usually at a time when
the weather is good for hay making.
Millet should be cut for hay when the
seed is in late milk or early dough
stage. Mature millet seed is some-
times injurious to live stock, especially
horses. For best results millet hay
should be fed with some other rough-
age.

Sudan grass should be sown during
late May or early June and is from ten
days to two weeks longer in maturity
than millet. It has about the same
feeding value as timothy hay and is a
little coarser than millet hay. There

Because of the understanding and

the public is recognizing this move-

become confused with such, resulting
in the loss of much excellent publicity

which was originally planned to call

attention to the achievments of club "
work. One suggestion, in order to

remedy this condition, seems to be

that of designating this junior exten-

sion work as ”4—H Club Work.” This

term is distinctive, arouses curiosity

and intereston the part of those un-

familiar with the work and places a.

definite stamp upon it.

A fourdeafed clover, with an “H”
stamped on each leaf, is the national
symbol of boys’ and girls’ club work.

The significance of the 4-H’s is that

is usually considerable second-growth
which may be used for pasture or
plowing under, and under quite favor—
able conditions this growth .may be-
come large enough to make a second
crop of hay. Sudan grass usually pro-
duces a higher yield, is a safer feed
and is not so hard on the land as
millet.

Soy-beans should be planted during
the last half of May or early June.
They are ready to make into [hay dur-
ing early September. This is probably
the greatest disadvantage in growing
soy—beans, since September is fre—
quently unfavorable haying weather,
However, the acreage is increasing
and many farmers think the advan—
tages outweigh the disadvantages.
Soy-beans are a legume and very high
in protein and consequently very de-
sirable as a milk producer. The hay
is palatable and well liked by all kinds
of live stock. Being a legume they
have the ability to make use of the
free nitrogen of the air and conse-
quently leave the land in much better
shape than millets and Sudan grass.

Those desiring further information
concerning,“ short season hay crops,
should write the Service Department
of the Michigan Farmer, or Farm
Crops Department, M. A. C. East Lari-T
sing, Michigan. "

United States in 1927, and to extend

who assumes the role of watchdog of

have objected to it, because we ought
to stop creating these bureaus. ~“This

DESIGNATES FO‘REST‘PROTEC-,
TION WEEK.

 

THE week of April 21—27 has been
designated by President Coolidge
as Forest Protection Week. In his
proclamation all citizens are urged
“either in association or as individu-
als, all schools, and the press, to give
common thought to the protection of
our forests from fire, to the end that,
in the future as in the’past, these for-
ests may supply us with wood, protect
the purity of our streams and serve
the people of the United States.”
Secretary Wallace has stated that
eight out of every ten forest fires re-
sult from the carelessness of human,
beings, and will not happen once the
public is brought face to face with the
serious losses these fires cause. These
losses fall especially heavy on the
American public since .the United
States uses more saw timber than all
other nations combined. There are
about 36,000 forest fires a year, sweep-
ing 11,000,000 acres of land.

 

STATISTICS ‘ON TAX-EXEMPT SE-
cunmes.

 

HERE has been much disputing

and misunderstanding in regard to
the amount of tax-exempt securities in
this country. Claims have been made
by certain would-be authorities that
wealthy tax dodgers were holding any-
where from $18,000,000,000 to $32,000,-
000,000 of such securities. A, recent
estimate made public by the treasury
department, shows that on February
29, there was a total of $15,107,000,000
in tax-exempt securities. Of this
amount $2,586,000.000 was held in the
treasury 01' in sinking fund's, leaving
only $12,521,000,000 as the whole
amount that could possibly be held by
so-called tax dodgers.

It may be interesting. t6 note that
$1,310,000.000 are securities of the fed-
eral land banks, intermediate credit
banks and joint stock land banks, com-
pared ‘with $11,378,000,000 in securities
of states, counties and cities.

A comprehensive idea of the in-'
crease in these tax—exempt securities
is had from the fact that fire total
amount of tax-exempt securities on
December 31, 1912, was $5,554,990.900;
on December 31, 1922, it was 313552;
909.900, and on Decanber‘ 31, 1&3”, it
was $14;8&5,0®,Bfl. ' ”

I There is no doubt of their eager-
ness to come» or of the splendid

_ prices they are ready to pay for
.1 Fine Pelts.

 

The ‘Elach Fox Magazine for January says editorially:

During December, particularly the latter part, '
the Charlottetown newspapers were full of adver-
tisements soliciting furs. Numerous buyers from
the United States visited the province, including
representatives from the big fur houses of Alfred
Eisenback, Jaeckel & Sons and Roy Pines, of New
York, and several buyers 'from Quebec, while the
consignment houses of Frederick Huth & Co., C.
M. Lampson & Co. and the Canadian Fur Auction
were actively soliciting consignments for their
auctions.

Mr. Geo. B. Herzig, of New‘York, well known to
Silver Fox breeders, particularly since the Na-
tional Live Fox Exhibition at Milwaukee, where
he was one of the judges, spent two weeks with
Mr. W. Chester S. McLure buying Silver Fox
skins. Mr. McLure’s office on. those days would
certainly cure any pessimist or anyone who doubts
the possibilities of Silver Fox farming. It was
positively thronged with Fox farmers carrying
large and small bundles of Silver Fox Furs. And
in the two weeks it was estimated that over $270,
000 was paid out in cold cash. This included the
purchases in Summerside, P. E. I.

It is estimated that the industry will bring into
the provincegthis year a total of $1,500,000, of
which over a million will be for skins. As the
agricultural products had to be sold this year at
a. comparatively low level, the activity in the
Silver Fox market has been a distinct boon to the
island. .

We Need More Foxes

Only Pontiac Strain will Produce
Pontiac Strain

THE demand for Pontiac Strain Silvers—has already
passed away beyond our producing capacity!

This year’s Sales of Pontiac Strain Foxes will exceed our
production—by Several Hundred Pairs.

Then—what ’of next Season!
Remember the demand is growing! ' ..

We must have more Pontiac Strain—Production units——
at once!

Our Plan and Organization—eliminates all Risk! We
operate upon a positive—safe and proven plan—that is
bound to make—such men as we select—to operate Pon—
tiac Strain Production Units— (———————) Thousand
Dollars per year—we left the number blank—purposely
because our proposition is such that you can fill this in
yourself—for the number of thousands you make—de-
pends wholly upon your qualification for producing Pon-
tiac Quality Foxes. A

However—we will not be satisfied with anyone—who
themselves would be satisfied with less than Ten Thou- ‘
sand Dollars profit—~annually after the first year.

Only men—or groups of men of rigid honesty—respected
and honored by their fellowmen—for the success which
they have already achieved will be considered.

   
   
      
     
   
   
 
 
 
 
  
  
   
  
  
   
      
   
  
  
    
  
  
    
     
     
  
   
  
  
    
    
 
  
 
  
   
   
  
  
 

You will find upon investigation—that the men behind
the Pontiac Strain Institution—meet the above require-
ments themselves—~—and want to associate themselves
only with such men as will reflect credit upon the Silver
Fox industry—as a whole.
So here you have an unusual opportunity for Service——
you know—“Helping the other fellow to help himself
will bring you all you want.”
We know that the Farmers and Breeders of Michigan
can make Millions of Dollars every year—in fur produc—
tion—and so this institution is investing thousands upon
thousands of dollars—in advertising and in laying the
foundation to the result that—

Pontiac Strain Foxes—And the Pontiac Plan

Means Millions of Furs—Brought into Michigan.

“Most men have convictions---Some have courage--
but the names of those who have both illuminate
the pages of history’ ’.---0. Byron Cooper. ,
We have a firm conviction upon the wonderful future in
Store for Fur Farming—and have demonstrated this con-
viction with the courage to put nearly a quarter of a
million dollars—into fur farming to back up our con—
viction. . ~
We are making history in the Fur Industry!
We need more Pontiac Strain Foxes!
Do you want to produce them ‘3

Since .H. M. Reynolds made the first

many different shingles have appeared on

i of superiority over the others.

 

But throughout this time, Reynolds
Shingles have been made to the same high
standard, and this in spite of the temptation
to lower the quality to meet a price.

HE following letter from Jack
Brown a progressive farmer who
breeds Holsteins'and raises good

seed potatoes at Central Lake, is not
far out of line with the thought of
many who have made a sincere effort
to think through the maze of influ-
ences and factors now moulding the
fate of the farmer:

During these years of agricultural
depression, the farmer has had much
time and food for thought.

A good many plans and not a few
of which, might better be called
schemes, have been formulated with
the idea of bringing a more prosperous
agriculture and probably some of these
have originated 0n the farm.

It is true that a great many farmers
arid others are looking to \Vashington
for aid or for a cure-all for agriculture.
But what, when we get' down to
“cases” can a government do in the
way of establishing immediate pros-
perity?

Of course our Co-operative Market-
ing laws will help but at most are no
more than allowing the farmers. to
help himself. ,

The ‘McNary—Haugen Bill if it Were
put into action, could hardly help
starting another “Vicious Circle.”

We have had some, and not alto-
gether pleasant, experience with
governmental control of industries in
which the principal "difficulty seems to
be the ease withwhich other peoples’
money can be spent, , ,. -' ,
. Any 'oral'l of these bills would-prob-
ably give some temporary relief but

the milk stand. This plan is expen-
sive but there is little or no trouble

’from mud or snow. -_ ,
~ One party in describing his .level

wheelbarrow - stated, “This wheelbar-

row has a' level platform instead of

the usual slanting. one, is about five
feet long and three feet wide. ' It will
carry three? cans of milk. In winter
we substitute a runner for the wheel.
This equipment! works very satisfac~

. torily; "

I Buggy wheels, cultivator wheels,
sulky, ,pfow wheels, and many other
kinds‘of wheels were mentioned in the
making of a great variety of two—v
wheeled ‘carts. Here is the descrip—
tion of a typical one:

“Take two old front buggy wheels
with the axle. Have the axle bent at

points two inches from each skei‘n to

the depth often inches, which will
give twenty-five and onehalf inches
width on axle,for box. The size of
box is thirty-eight inches long, twenty-
four and one-halfinc‘hes‘ wide, and
seven and one-half inches deep—out-
side measurements. Bolt this boxto
the axle on bottom and both sides,
placing the axle fourteen inches from
the front of the box so aS'to‘» give the
proper balance. Use two pieces of “L”
shaped strap iron for legs. Make one
arm of the. “L” sixteen inches long
and the other six inches. Bolt the
long arm to the rear end of the box
with the short arm pointing to the
rear. For handles bolttwo old plow
handles on sides of the box; or, one
can use a heavy iron rod bent to fas-
ten to the sides of the box. This box
will hold three ten-gallon cans and one
five-gallon can, and can be pushed
with ease. Outside of the material I
furnished, the cart cost me $1.75.”
The letters awarded the prizes were
written by the following: Roy L. Hen—
derson, S. McDonald, Jr., Robert Asch,
Henry L. Bills and Homer H. Downing.

Follow Natural Laws
T hat I! the Remedy Suggerted hy thzr Good Michigan Farmer

at the end of a year or two would We
not very likely be right back where we
started from, possibly in a worse hole
than we find ourselves in now.

Would it not be better to let th
situation re-adjust itself? '

Facing the facts of an overproduc-
tion in most lines of farming and an
undersupply of manufacturing labor,
at least in some lines, the situation
does not seem too complicated for
natural laws to remedy.

The pendulum will, of course, swing
back eventually of it’s own accord.
However, it seems that due to after-
war effects, this process is taking
much longer than it should under nor-
mal conditions of the’ “ups and downs"
of agriculture and it seems to be oc-
curing to an increasing number of
people both on and off the farm that
it might be hastened to some extent
by a further restriction of emigration,
perhaps closing our ports entirelyfor
a few years. '

And certainly we have enough land
under cultivation for the present with:
out reclaiming any more.

On natural law that~seems to work
whether Congress does or not is “The
Survival of the Fittest.”

Quoting from E. Davenport, "No
fixing of prices, no system of Subsi-
dies, no expansion of currency or
credit, no governmental paternalism
will insure success on the farm to any
man who cannot or will not put into
the business at least a fair share of
ability on the one hand or else imitate

’ High-priced labor urges efficiency——

tion, or with little waste of materials,
or producing maximum outputs

Unrepaired harnesses, broken whif-
fletrees, lack of clevices, chains, tools,
Implements out of order, no conven-
iences in barn nor house, no gates,
peor fences, and a multitude of other
things that are not as they should be,
make it very hard for the farmer to
get theresults from his own, as well
as his hired man’s labor that he
should.

The logical thing to do is to put
these matters in- shape for the very
good reason that it will save time
when they are needed. I shall not em-
ploy a hired man to fool around at un-
productive work when it is impossible

to keep him and myself busy at things ‘

RETURNS BEYOND EXPECTATION.

 

HE- advertising campaign carried

on in the agricultural papers by
the Federal Land Banks has opened
up a new field for the sale of Farm
Loan bonds. The returns from this
advertising is not only gratifying to
the banks but surprising, according to
Judge Lobdell, fical agent of the twelve
Land Banks. ,

Many farmers are not only writing
in for information, but are actually

buying Farm‘ Loan bonds of denomin- '

ations all the way from $40 up to
$2,000. Farmers appreciate the value
of bonds of the Farm Loan system as
an investment in which they can place
implicite confidence.

This advertising is also having the
effect of calling the farmers’ attention
to the wisdom of purchasing guaran-
teed bonds, insuring a safe, sure re—
turn, instead of buying “the blue sky
stuff” and purely speculative securi-
ties of unknown value.

EASTERN FARM CONDITIONS.

 

N the East heavy freezes last month
did some damage to clover mead-
ows, winter wheat and peaches. In
the Corn Belt Winter wheat Was some-
what damaged by freezing. Much poor
seed corn is showing up in tests. The

general opinion is that there will be
feWer hogs on farms a year hence.

SEEDING SWEET CLOVER WITH
OATS.

 

Your issue of March 22 gave a lot
iof good information about the growing
of sweet clover. There is one or two
questions I would like to ask. VVheu
seeding in oats in spring, how should
it be sown, should it be broadcasted
with seeder like June clover, or how?
After it is cut, is it cured in the-same

way June clover is?—K. D. K.

When sweet clover is to be seeded
with cats, at very satisfactory method
is to seed the sweet clover with the
grass seed attachment of the grain
drill, allowing the sweet clover seed
tobe broadcasted just in front of or
on to the disks. The sweet clover seed
should not pass down the grain tubes
with the cats, since this will cover
thesweet clover seed too deeply.

In case the cats are broadcasted, the
sweet clover may also be broadcasted
and covered with a spike-tooth harrow.

Sweet clover should be seeded on a

fwell-finmed seed-bed and covered from
lone-half to three-fourths of an inch
ldeep as a general rule.
, Sweet clover should be cut for hay
ijust as the blossom buds appear; if it
‘is allowed to come into bloom, the
stems become coarse and woody and
the leaves drop off.

Sweet clover contains a higher per-
centage of moisture than June.clover
and is a little more diificult to cure.

clover except that it requires a little

PAY FOR PLO wme,

 

We had a tenant on our, farm for
two years. He made a. bargain last
fall to work it the coming your, and
.did some fall plowing. Then he rent~
ed another place. saying nothing to us
until he had been gene two or three
weeks. Then he wrote saying that if
we got some one else on the place it
would be all right with him, and all
he wanted was pay for the plowing.
Can he collect for the plowing, and
can he held theplace? There hasteen
no writing since the first yeast—F. H.

The tenant is entitled to hold the
place till his term expires. or till he
surrenders or violates some provision
of the lease for which a. forfeiture
could be maintained. He could not re-
cover for the plowing if he surrenders
the lease. Apparently he made an Of'
fer to surrender on certain terms, but
they have not been accepted and he
has not surrendered unconditionally.

 

PEAS AND OATS FOR HAY.

 

My husband would like to know
What kind of peas should be sewn and
how many per acre to cut for feed.~
Mrs. J. C.

A mixture of peas and oats is fre-
quently used for hay and also as a.
crop to cut green and be fed during
mid—summer. ' ‘

Would recommend a. mixture of one
bushel of oats and one bushel of peas
sown at the rate of two and one-half
bushels per acre.

The French June variety, frequently
sold by seed companies under the
name of Canadian Field, is quite sat-
isfactory for forage purposes. For the
best results, peas should be sewn as
early in the spring as the seed-bed
can be prepared—C. R. Megee.

his successful neighbors as closely as
possible on the other.”

That being true, and it undoubcdly
is, doesn’t it seem a bit out of place
to go on encouraging those farmers,
who, for one reason or another, cannot
make a success of their business.

After all would they not be better
off, more contented, their families have
a. better living, a brighter outlook on
the world and the world be a little
better all around if they were in some
other line of work that would at least
return a decent living and a fair share
of recreation.

The agricultural “unfit” have been
the ‘ city.
Without our usual influx of emigrants
to swell the industrial ranks, the pros-
pects for the farmer going to the city
to work would be a little more allur—
ing and it hadn’t ought to take very
long for a readjustment to come about.

I find more and more of this senti‘
ment among farmers, ‘that, while We
are not perhaps as “hard up” as the
wheat farmer, can at least lay claim
to being a part of an unprosperous
agriculture.

Vl'ould it not be better policy to en-
courage this trend of events rather
than discourage it, to help the misfit
find 'a better niche rather than sub~
sidize or pay him to stay in the rut.

Every one admits that prosperity
must be more evenly distributed and
how better distribute than in letting
the misfit farmer join the ranks of
labor where labor is needed and there-
by reduce the over production of farm
crops.

it will happen eventually, shouldn’t
we give the pendulum a push.

so closely that it was occasionally nec-
essary for it to stop and Wait on the
other machinery; and this has been
done. when the weather was moist.
Such practices have resulted in excep-
tionally low yields. Experience has
taught that sufficient time should be
given between each operation to per-
mit the sun to warm the ground and
allow the‘air to circulate through it.
'The 'sun and air, if properly utilized,
will do much to increase the yield of
the oat crop, and they do not cost a
penny.

Carefully cleaned and graded seed
is used at the rate of two bushels per
acre. Seed taken from a bin which
had heated slightly after threshing re-
sulted in a light stand and a low
yield; it would have been more profit-
able to have purchased the seed in
this case. Sowing when the ground is
dry enough for a little dust to fly has
always proven satisfactory.

Rolling: the ground after seeding has
been practiced with both good and bad
results. The writer has watched the
results, not only on our own farms,
but on other farms as well. The re-
sults that can be expected depends

seems to he places for improvement
in this work; one might, on the next
occasion, plow a little better than be-
fore, leaving fewer pockets in the fur—
rows and plow at a depth best suited
to soil conditions. Usually we plow
just deep enough to turn up the sod
that was plowed under the previous
spring.

The ground is harrowed lightly the
first time over so that as few lumps
as possible are dug up. Lumpy ground
does not hold the moisture. All the
teeth of the harrows should be work-
ing. If a tooth works loose, the bar-
rows should be stopped and the tooth
adjusted to its proper place before
Work is resumed.

If one is to get an even stand of
grain and the maximum yield, each
cubic foot of ground must be thor-
oughly worked. The spring- -tooth har-
rows are splendid for working the
ground; they stir the soil thoroughly,
mixing the bottom earth with the top,
leaving it where the sun can warm it
and the air can circulate through it.
A shallow seed-bed, worked at an even
depth, with plenty of fresh, loose earth
to cover the grain, suits cats the best.
To get this we always harrow the fall
plowing three times, setting the har-
rows deeper for the second and third
time over the field. Harrowing the
fourth time showed no increase'in the
yield and is rarely necessary. .

Discing for oats saves time where
one has plenty of horse power or a
tractor; otherwise plowing is more
satisfactory. Discing conserves mois-
ture and often results in an inerease
of from one to three bushels per acre.
One mistake often made is the inces-
sant haste in getting the crop in.
Where plenty of power and help is
available the discs are»too often fol-
lowed immediately with the harrows
and then another set of hat-rows and
these followed closely by the drill. In
'some instances the drill has followed

largely on Weather conditions. Under
favorable conditions this piactice has
proven profitable, and vice versa. In
a dry season no bad 1esults are likely
to be experienced from this practice.
As the ground should be quite dry be-
fore rolling, it is best not to roll too
soon after drilling. If the top of the
ground is moist when it is rolled a
crust is likely to form and crack, al-
lowing needed moisture to escape.
This depends, of course, on the weight
of the roller used; the heavier the
roller the more care should be exer-
cised in the condition of the land. In
the cases which we have had, oppor-
tunity to study, culti—packers were
used. '

HE LIKES SOYS.‘

 

IN a recent issue of the Michigan

Farmer I notice that a subscriber
asks if soy-beans are good for hay.
I wish that more farmers knew the
value of soy-beans for hay and dairy
feed. I have been raising them very
successfully for the past four years
and I cannot say enough in their
praise.

They are easy to raise and harvest
and produce well. I am now feeding
some soy hay that is as ‘bright and
green as any alfalfa, and is relished
just as well by the stock. Any farmer
that is going to be short of hay this
coming year should put in from three
to five acres of soys.—E. A., Living-
ston County.

Twenty Years After

Up to twenty years ago wood construc-
tion prevailed in farm machines, including
threshers. But wooden threshers, even the
best, would warp and pull out of shape when
exposed to the weather and drive belt strains.

Wood construction and Case quality could
not live together. In 1904 this Company be—
gan to build steel machines. Good farmers
quickly saw their advantages. And now we
have made and sold over 60,000 steel machines.

Case steel construction, improved
and refined by twenty years experience,
adore you these advantages:

Durability—Most of the first steel machines
are still in use on their twentieth birthday.

Great Strength and Rigidity—No twist
or weave in steel frame from drive belt strain on
transportation. All working parts held in line.

Dependabilitymcasethreshers work all day
Without stops for adjustments or lubrication.

Large Capacity——Fast threshing and
thorough cleaning without waste, under widely
varying conditions of grain and feeding.

Any good farmer can operate a Case Steel
Thresher successfully and profitably. Write
for your copy 'of “Profit By Better Thresh-
ing,’ ’ahelpful booklet for progressive farmers.

OUBTLESS growers who use De-

troit Farmers Markets lose- thou-

sands of dollars every yeir and
cause dissatisfaction among many of
the buyers by their failure to plant the
best market "varieties. One only has
to see the awful assortment of musk-
melons that comes to the markets and
hear the remarks of disgusted pur-
chasers in order to believe the above
statement. Poor quality, ungraded
products that are displayed by grow-
ers on the market depress prices and
drive away customers /

The potato situation, too, needs spe-
cial attention. A lot of pretty poor
stuff comes in to the farmers' markets
and every bushel of it hurts the’grow-
er and the market too.

In a letter to this bureau, Mr. H. C.
Moore, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, recommends especially for the
Detroit area that the White Rural
(which includes the'Rural New Yorker
No. 2, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Carmen
No. 3), be planted for the fall and win-
ter market by those who want a round
white Potato. Where the Russet Rur-
al (Late Petoskey) is used it should
be put only on the lighter sandy loam
soils and planted early. ' Heavy, dark
soils and late planting produce dark,
unattractive potatoes.

For earlypotatoes during July and
August he recommends the Irish Cob-
,bler to be planted early on a fertile,
loamy soil. With proper seed, good
soil, and thorough spraying, growers
should get from 100 to 200 bushels to
the here.

See your county agent for sources
of certified seed, or write the Michigan
Potato Growers’ Exchange at Cadillac,
Michigan. It pays to grow certified
seed. Tests last year showthat certi-
fied seed produced sixty-three bushels
more of marketable potatoes than
common seed

AGREE ON STANDARDIZATION OF
CONTAINERS.

 

WHILE not always acting in bar-

mony, departments of agriculture
are of one mind in the campaign for 'a
reduction in varieties and sizes of
fruit and vegetable containers. The
standardization program has been en-
dorsed, according to H. A. Spilman.
of the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
ics, by the National League of Com-
mission Merchants, International Ap-
ple Shippers’ Association, Western
Fruit Jobbers’ Association, Vegetable
Growers’ Association of America, and
several state horticultural and hamper
manufacturers’ associations. It is» be-

will be beneficial to producers, deal-
ers, transportation companies and con-
sumers alike, and tend to prevent
fraud in merchandising fruits and veg-
etables.

the honor list of boys and girls for the
entire peninsula. It show‘sthe high
state of progress that has been reach-
ed in club work in this section under
MT. Kettunen’s direction. '
Sophie Cheraeski, of Manistique, be-
came state champion in first-year can-
ning work, while Vivian Pellitier, of‘
Luce county, took second place in first-

W year canning work. Evelyn Hansen,

of Powers, Menominee county, was the
State champion in fifth-year canning
work. Miss Hansen has won ‘first

. place during the past four years for

canning work in Menominee county,
and also won a free trip to the live
stock show at Chicago last fall; Ellen
Anderson, of- Chatham, “took second
place in first-year cooking. 1

Joseph Drake, of Mansfield, Iron
county, was state champion in potato
club work. Elmer Anderson, of Man-
istique, took second for the state.
State poultry champion was Ruth Man-
ninen, of the John A. Doelle School,
Houghton county. Lawrence Bemer-
ick, of Manistique, took second place
in the second-year poultry club work.
Arnie Hakala took first place in the
third-year poultry project.

In the state garden contest, Alice
M. Tikkanen, of Ironwood, was state
champion; Lawrence Erickson, of Iron-
wood, took second place; Esther Niva,
of Pelkie, took second place in sec-
ond-year dairy heifer club work. An-
drew Waite, of Iron county, for the
third year-took first place in dairy calf
club work. '

Danville Sandstr'om, of Perkins, Del-
ta county, took first place in first-year
handicraft project. Malcolm Johnston,
of West Ishpeming, took second here.
Douglas Tippett, of Marquette county,
took first place in the second-year
handicraft project; Odell Peterson, of
Houghton, was second here. Howard
Logan, of Perkins, was first in fourth-
year handicraft project. Verne Ward,
of McMillan, was second. ’ I

The Upper Peninsula is credited

' with eleven first place positions out of

a possible thirty-six state awards, last
year. A free scholarship at the Mich-
igan Agricultural College goes with
the winning of first honors. In View
of the Upper Peninsula’s relative
standing in population to the rest‘ of
the state, it is clear that club work is
getting real results north of the
Straits. '

WOULD CAN BLUEBERRIES.

 

'1‘ is reported from Escanaba that
there is a high probability that -a

’ large fruit packing concern will estab-
lish a. blueberry canning factory in

‘troit and St. Louis markets.

that city. If this is done, it is consid-
ered likely that northern Michigan
blueberries‘will compete successfully
with Maine fruit in the Chicago, De-
It is be-
lieved that Michigan has a superior

- berry and the frelghts are shorter.

There is abundant raw material grow-

' ing wild here.

/

Some time ago the Upper Peninsula
Development Bureau sent the late Dr.
A. W. Deadman, of Marquette, on a
still hunt through the Maine blueberry
seetion to study methods of handling
the crop and marketing it after ,can-
ned. Dr'. Deadman Was most enthusi-
astic over the possibilities in this in-
dustry for northern Michigan, after
having got a close—up view of the in-
dustry in the east. He found that
blueberry lands were virtually off the
market in Maine. r-

At Escanaba, it is stated, that other
small fruits will be canned later, if
the present project materializes. In-
cidentally, farmers in the garden dis-
trict east of Escanaba, which is a reg-
ion of- great potential productivity
with poor market facilities, are inter-

ested in the project at Escanaba and '

are expressing a desire that a receiv-
ing station be located in their terri-
tory as a market for local fruits which
now either go out by water or not
at all.

WANT TRUCK DRIVERS TO EXER-
CISE CAUTION.

 

.HIPPEWA county is insisting that

truck drivers observe the state
law'requiring trucks to be loaded to
one-half capacity during the period of
the spring break-up, as a protection to
its country roads. It is estimated that
the county will be saved at least $10,-
000 if this rule is observed.

FAVOR DAIRY PROGRAM.

 

'HE Chippewa county board of
supervisors has gone on record as
favoring dairying as the major farm
industry of the county and thus has
approved the program of Mr. D. L.
McMillan, newly installed county agri-
cultural agent.

RECENT AGRICULTURAL AP-
POINTMENTS.

 

R. ARTHUR E. HAGEN has been

appointed club leader in Iron
county, it is announced. He is a grad-
uate of the University of Wisconsin.
Mr. JohnfBush and Mr. George A.
Newett, of Ishpeming, have been ap-
pointed by the United States Secre-
tary of Agriculture as members of the
advisory council of the Great Lakes
Forest Experiment Station. Mr. E. C.
Colby has been appointed by the State
Department of Agriculture to super-
vise the bovine tuberculosis eradica-
tion campaign in this territory. He
will be associated with Dr. F. K. Han—
sen, assistant state veterinarian. Mr.
J. G. Wells, newly appointed dairy
specialist of the Michigan Agricultural
College, assigned to this territory, is
now on the job.

LADY HAS HIGH, HERD.

 

RS. A. ERICKSON, of Iron River,
Iron county, owns a herd of dairy
cows which out-distanced all the dairy
herds in the Upper Peninsula during
February, where official tests have
been conducted. Mrs. Erickson also

' has the highest producing cow of all

herds in the district. Mrs. Ericksons’
herd of nine Guernseys produced an
average of 720.3 pounds of milk and
35.7 pounds of butter—fat at a cost for
feed of $9.18 per cow for the month.

was in most instances rathei-"restrict-
ed and they were not enabled to make
the best bargains. 'To overcome-these
difll'culties under‘which the local co-—

operatives are laboring it will be nec-‘_

essary to have a. federation of some-
sort which will look after the whole?
sale buying for larger groups. In Eng-
land the consumers’ cooperative or—V

» .ganizations soon discovered that if '

they were to bring any great benefits
to. their. members they must have a
cooperative wholesale society to do for

. the locals what locals are dOiug for

the individuals. - -
While the well managed cooperative
buying association can render valuable
service to the community it will never
be able to greatly excel the service of
the privately owned supply store until
it is affiliated with other locals into a
wholesale buying association. In or-
der for the local to secure the best
bargains it must have a buyer who
knows markets and goods. This type
of ability is expensive and it is almost
impossible to secure within the salary
limit of the local. The’quantity of
business which each local has does
not justify the hiringof this high-class
buying ability. A man able to buy on
the best terms for a local can well
handle the business of many locals.
Farmers are not able to buy their
productive supplies on the best basis.
They are buying at retail and selling
their finished product at wholesale.
The properly managed cooperative
buying association will permit them to
overcome this disadvantage if it is fed—
erated with other‘ locals. At present

and twenty-five millions for feed year-
ly.‘ The business of seeds, spray ma-
terials, oils, gasoline, salt, fence, coal
and other supplies added to that ‘of
feeds and fertilizers,,would permit a,
central buying organization to ”become
a factor in «the buying, market which
would return real benefits to farmers.
In addition. to the benefits of reduced
prices such a service, being conducted
on the basis of service instead of prof-
it, would assure the farmer quality

of seeds, is a factor which is of great
importance. . -
’The results obtained by the Michi<
gan state farm bureau seed depart-
ment is an example of what can be
‘done by a properly organized and well-
managed central buying association.
A central buying agency which could
bring the same service and efficiency

farmers and would assist quite mate—

Mining Marl

Haw T/zey Do I 1‘ Over in .Mméegorz County.

HE use of lime is probably the

first step toward the building up
of Michigan’s sandy soils. It is indeed
providential that the lime which has
been leaching for centuries from these
soils is usually found stored nearby
in swamps or lakes iii the form of
marl. Making this lime"‘avai1abic and
putting it back on the soils which so
greatly need it, is not a spectacular
task, but it is a movement which
means much for the future of farming
in this state.

An interesting combination soil
meeting and marl excavating demon~
stration was held on the farm of R. A.
Hornung, in Cedar Creek township,
Muskegon county.

Prof. George M. Grantham, of the

M. A. C. Soils Department, was the
principal speaker ,at the meeting in
the afternoon. He listed the ten plant
food- elements necessary to plant
growth and named four of thesé, nitro-
gen, phosphorus, potash, and calcium
(lime) as being the ones usually de-
ficient in the soils. Methods of sup-
plying these elements in the most eco-
nomical way possible, were outlined.
. For the lighter sandy soils, Profes-
sor Grantham recommended the appli—
cation of lime first, this to be followed
by a. seeding of alfalfa or sweet clover.
Alfalfa was recommended if the farm-
er felt that cash returns must be se-
cured within a short time. Sweet clo-
ver was described as a crop supplying
as much nitrogen as alfalfa and con-
siderable more humus. It was recom-_
mended that the sweet clover be plow-
ed under in July of its second year.
This will put the soil in condition for
cash crops. ~ . =

Professor Grantham described how
the nearby marl deposits had been
leached from the surrounding soils and
had accumulated in the lakes. The
prime need is now to put this lime
back on the farming .lands. The dif-
ferentiforms of lime and/ their com-
parative values were discussed.

 

Following the meeting a demonstra-

tion of marl digging wasgiven. Dr.
Hornung has set up, on the shores of
Duck Lake, a cable-way? outfit purchas-
ed recently from an engineering com-
pany. A fifty-foot gin pole is set up
on high ground about 300 feet from
the water’s edge. From the top of this
pole at seven-eighths~inch track cable
extends about 800 feet to an anchor-
age on the opposite shore of an arm of
the lake. This arrangement permits
digging marl from the bottom of the
lake or from the deposits near the
shore. A four-cylinder, - thirty-eight
horsepower engine wtih a two—drum,
chain-driven hoist forms a satisfac-
tory power unit.

Barring a few unavoidable delays,
the outfit worked very smoothly and
delighted the crowd with its satisfac—
tory performance. It proved very in-
teresting to see the bucket speed
swiftly down the cable and out to the
lake, dig in for its load, and then
come up the track cable with its load
of marl. About one-third.of a cubic
yard of marl is secured with one buck-
etful and this is dumped with a splash
to the pile beneath. Although the out—
fit had just been assembled and start-—
ed working, quite a quantity of marl is
already available.

Dr. Hornung, who is by profession
an extractor of molars, has turned his
attention to marl extraction principal-
ly to be of service to his neighbor
farmers. His price of $1.00 per yard
represents a. very small margin above
the cost of excavating and his action
in making available a large source of
lime is indeed invaluable for the sur-

rounding farming sections.

Houston shook his head.

“I don’t know. Has something gone

“Plenty. Both the firemen on Num—

“Know anything about firin’ an en-

“I know enough to shovel coal—and

“Come on, then.”

Houston followed the figure toward

engine. A whistle sounded, to be
echoed and reechoed by the answer-
ing blasts of the snowplow train~four
engines sally into the shed. Head—
lights, extinguished inomentarily, were
thrown on again, lighting up the dirty,
ragged edges of the snow walls, with
their black marks of engine soot;
throwing into sharp relief the smudge-
faced figures _ of the pick-and—axe
crews just emerging from the black
maw of the tunnel; playing upon the
smooth, white outlines of the forbid-
‘din‘g mountains yet beyond, mountains
which still must be conquered ere the
top of the world was reached. Ahead
came the “high-ball” signal from the
plow; two sharp blasts, to be repeated
by the first, the second, the third and
fourth of the engines. Then, throttles
open, fire boxes throwing their red,
spluttering-glare against the black sky
as firemen leaped to their task, the
great mass of machinery moved for-
ward.

 

 

fresh, clean air.

“Eight feet“ that’s all,” he mused.
“Eight feet at a time." Then, notic-
ing Houston’s attention, he went on:
“It’s all the big screw can make. Got
a hood on the front, you know, pro-
tecting the blades. It’s eight feet
from the front of that hood to the first
trucks. When it’s scooped that out,
it’s the. finish. The wheels hit ice, and
its either back out or get derailed.
So we back. Huh! There she goes
again. Keep your nose in your elbow,
youngster, this time. VVe’re goin’ back
pretty sudden. We’ll get gas.”

The screaming of the whistles fad—
ed, giving way to the lurching of steel
monsters as they once more crawled
within the blackness of the smoke-
filled, snow-choked shed. Deeper they
went and deeper, ‘the shouts from
without fading away, the hot, pene-

“Find" that rope—go - .

‘_‘I can’t see! The smoke—”

Desperately. Houston released the
engineer and clmibed‘ upward, grop~
ing. Something touched his hand, and
he jerked at it. A blast sounded—re-
peated twice more. In the rear the
signal was answered. Out ground the
train to freedom again; It was the
beginning of a night of an Arctic hell.

Back and forth—back and forth—
fresh air and foul; alrhgleming lights,
then dense blackness—so the hours
passed. Sally after sadly the snow-
plow made, only to withdraw to give
way to the pick crews, and they in
turn, gasping and reeling, hurried out
for the attack of the plow again. Men
fell grovelling, only to be dragged into
the open 'air and resusticatem then
sent once more into the cruelty of the
fight. The hours dragged by like
stricken things. Then—with dawn——-
the plow churn-ed with lesser impact.
It surged forward. Gray light broke
through at the end of the tunnel. The
grip of at least one snowshed was
broken; but there remained twenty
more—and the Death Trail—beyond!

“That’s the baby I’m afraid of!” Old
Andy was talking as they went toward
the cars, the relief day crew passing
them on the way. “We can whip
these sheds. But that there Death
Trail—there’s a million tons of snow
above it! Once that there vibration
loosens it up—we’d better not be un—
derneath it.”

Houston did not answer. The clutch
of forty-eight hours of wakeful activ-
ity was upon him. The words of Old
Andy were only so much of a mean-
ingless jumble to him. Into the car
he stumbled, a rdodd'ering, red-eyed
thing, to drink his coffee as the rest
drank it, to shamble to the stove, for-
getful of the steaming, rancid air,
then like some tired beast, sink to the
floor in exhausted, dreamless sleep.

Hours he remained there, while the
day crew carried the fight on upward,
through three of the smaller snow-
sheds, at last‘to hall; at the long, curv-
ed affair which shielded the jutting
edge of Mount Taluchen. Then Hous-
ton stirred; some one had caught him

For Healthy Babies

-— what an ale/Monty adoomz‘es

E are ever seeking truth about this prod-

uct that we advertise. So we ask physi-
cians and food experts, who have made
exhaustive tests, to tell us facts that we may
tell to you.

An authority of note gives these three vital
reasons for orange juice in baby feeding:
1. Orange Juice supplies Vitamine “C”
Orange juice is rich in Vitamine C. Therefore,
orange juice with nlilk which has the growth-promot-

ing vitamines in abundance, makes a complete and
perfect lood for the baby or young child.

2. Organic salts and acids
—clcmcnts that every baby needs;
3. Fruit Sugar

-——praclicall_v predigcstcd n u t r i m e n t promoting
healthful muscular activity in children.

  
 

Colybmz’o S

California Fruit Growers Exchange

’ I ‘HE Vitamine in oranges pre~

vents certain common forms
of malnutrition, the most serious
of which is scurvy.

The salts and acids act as appe-
tizers and aid digestion.

The fruit sugar is a healthful,
easily digested form of sweets that
most children require.

And not the least of all advan-
tages that orange juice affords is its
natural, mild laxative effect.

Orange juice, therefore, is al-
most universal food for babies
today, for other reasons than
merely that children like its taste.

No other baby food or fruit
juice, so far as we know, combines
these healthful benefits with such

enticing flavor. No other, there-
fore, is so easy and so pleasing to
administer to children.

Remember these facts also when
you choose the entire family’s
dailyfood, for fresh fruit is equally
important to grown—ups.

“l\lore RAW foods with the
meals,” is the modern expert’s
warning which is being sounded
everywhere today.

However, in every question of
the diet your own physician should
finally advise.

We wish to make no statement
that is not well within the facts.

Show him this page and ask his
opinion. Then use orange ju1ce
for your child, as he directs.

by the shoulder and was shaking him
gently. A voice was calling, and Hous-

command. -

“I hate to awaken you—” It was a
woman; her tones compassionate, gen-
tle. “But they’re whistling for the
night crew. They’ve still got you on
the list for firing.”

Houston opened his eyes and forced
a smile. '

“That's all right.

Then he rose and went forth into
the agonies of the night—rwilling, eag-
er, almost happy. A few words from

wiped out fatigue and aching muscles,
and cramped, lifeless limbs—a few
words from a woman he loved, Me-
daine Robinette.

Thanks—thanks

CHAPTER XXIII.

IT was a repetition of the first night

the same churning of the plows,
the same smaller machines working
along the right of way to keep the
rails clear of drifting snow and ice
particles, the wind howling again and
carrying the offal of the plows in gi.
gantic spouts of dirty white high into
the air, to lash and pulverize it, then
swish'it away to the icy .valleys be-
neath, where drifts could do no harm,
where there were no struggling crews
and dogged, half-dead men.

A repetition of the foul~smellihg
wooden tunnels, the sulphur fumes,
the gasping of stricken men. The
same long, horrible hours, the same
staggering release from labor' and the
welcome hardness of a sleeping spot
on a wooden floor. Night after night
it was the same—starlight and snow,
fair weather and storm. Barry Hous-
ton had become a rough-bearded, tat—
tered piece of human machinery like
all the rest. Then, at last—

The sun! Shining faintly through
the windows of the bunk car, it caus—
ed him to stir in his sleep. Dropping
in a flood of ruby red, it still reflected
faint streaks of color across the sky,
when at last he started forth to what
men had mentioned but seldom, and
then with fear. For tonight was the
last night, the last either in the strug-
gle or in the lives of those who had
fought their way upward to the final
barricade which yet separated them
from the top of the world——the Death
Trail.

Smooth and slick it showed before
Houston in the early moonlight, an
icy Niagara, the snow piled high above
the railroad tracks, extending upward
against an almost sheer wall of gran-
ite, in stacks and drifts, banked in
places to a depth of a hundred feet.
Already the plows were assembled—
four heavy steel monsters, with tre-
mendous beams lashed in place and
jutting upward, that they might break
the overcasts and knock down the
snow roofings that otherwise might
form tunnels, breaking the way above
as the tremendous fan of the plow
would break it below. This was to be
the fight of fights, there in the moon-
light. Houston could see the engines
breathing lazily behind their plows,
sixteen great, steel contrivances, their
burdens graduated in size from the
tremendous auger at the fore to the
lesser, almost diminutive one, by com-
parison, at the rear, designed to take
the last of the offal from the track.
For there would be no ice here; the
drippings of the snowsheds, with their
accompanying stalactites and stalag-
mites, were absent. A quick shoot and
a lucky one. Otherwise—the men who
went forward to their engines would
not speak of it. But there was one
who did.

She was standing beside the cook
car as Houston passed, and she looked
toward him with a glance that caused
Barry to stop and to wait, as though
she had called to him. Hesitatingly

' 7:.h1tc Desert

(Continued from page” 582).

 

she came forward, and Houston’s dull-
ed mentality at last took cognizance
that a hand was extended slightly.

"You’re still working on the on-
gine. 7”

“Yes. .

“Then you’ll be with them?”

“On the Death Trail? I expect to."

“They talk of it as something ter-
rible. Why?”

Houston pointed to the forbidding
wall of snow. “His thick, broken lips
mumbled in the longest'speech he had
known in days.

“It's all granite up there. The cut
of the road-bed forms a base for the
remainder of thesnow. It’s practical-
ly all resting on the tracks; above,
there’s nothing for the snow to cling
to. When we cut out the foundation——
they're afraid that the vibration will
loosen the rest and start an avalanche.
It all depends whether it comes be-
fore—or after we’ve passed through."

“And you are not afraid?” She
asked it almost childishly. He shook
his head.

“I—don’t know. I guess every one
is—-a bit afraid, when they’re going
into trouble. I know what I’m doing
if that’s what you mean."

She was silent for a long moment,
looking up at the packed drifts, at the
ragged outlines of the mountains
against the moonlit sky, then into the
valleys and the shimmering form of
the round, icy lake, far below. Her
lips moved, and Barry went closer.

“Beg pardon?”

“Nothing—only there are some
things I can't understand. It doesn‘t
seem quite natural——”

“What?”

“That things could—” Then she

straightened and looked at him with

clear frank eyes. “Mr. Houston,”
came quietly, “I’ve been thinking
about something all day. I have felt

that I haven’t been quite fair—that a
man who has acted as you have acted
since—since I met you this last time——
that he deserves more of a chance than
I have given him That—

“Im asking nothing of you, Miss
Robinette.” .

“I know. I am asking something of
you. I want to tell you that I have
been hoping that you can some day
furnish me the proof~that you spoke
of once. I—that's what I wanted to
tell you,” she ended quickly and ex-
tended her hand. “Good-by. I’ll be
praying for all of you up there.”

Houston answered only with a pres—‘

went on,—a shambling, dead-tired man,
even on awaking from sleep, but a man
whose heart was beating with a new

of them up there at the Trail. And
all of them included him.

At the cab of the engine, he listened.
to the final instructions of" the cursing;

anxious superintendent, then went to
his black work of the shovel. Higher
and higher mounted the steam on the
gauge; theirs was the first plow, theirs
the greatest task. For if they did not
go through, the others could not fol-

enough, staunch enough, the slide that
was sure to .come sooner or later

would carry with it mangled machin— .

In the Dead of Night

In the dead of night a fire breaks out—the alarm
must be given. A child is taken sickfi—the doctor
must be called. A thief enters the home—the police
must be located.

 
   
  
    
  
   
   
   
   
  
  
 
  
 

In the dead of night the American turns to his
telephone, confident he will find it ready for the
emergency. He knows that telephone exchanges are
open always, the operators at their switchboards, the
wires ready to vibrate with his words. He has only

_ to lift the receiver from its hook to hear that calm,
prompt uNumber, please.” The constant availa-
bility of his telephone gives him security, and makes
his life more effective in wider. horizons.

Twenty-four~hour service, which is the ”standard
set by the Bell System, is the exception in the service
of Continental Europe. An emergency may occur
at any time. Continuous and reliable service has
become a part of the social and economic fibre of

American life.

ways on duty where the danger was
greatest. Barnett was like that. When
‘ a young man just out of the-university
he went to the east end of London,
known as Whitechapel. » It is a most
poverty-stricken section. One‘ who
lives there lives in moral slime. Drink,
crime, poverty, are the untiring trio
that make up Whitechapel. Barnett
opened a little church there, and had
seven old women for his congregation.
He started classes for poor working
girls, and sometimes the class would
break up in a fight. He started lec-
ture courses and art exhibitions, and
was branded as a dangerous radical.
He founded a university center, so that
educators and ministers could come to
Whitechapel and live there for a few
weeks or months each year,'and thus
come into direct contact with the pri-
vation and suffering of the poor. The

Barnett was at
last recognized by
his church and made a canon of one
of the Cathedrals. All his life he was
a teacher. He was also a spiritual
statesman, whose work will stand af-
ter that of many an office-holding
statesman has been forgotten.

 

Elijah was terribly discouraged, as
he fled from Jezebel. “They have torn
dowu thine altars and slain thy proph-'
ets with the edge of the sword, and I,
even I only, am left,” he cried. But
a few days after that he met a young
man who was to be his successor. He
must have had some means, for he
owned twelve yoke of oxen. When
the old prophet threw his mantle‘over
the young farmer, as a signal that he
was to be a prophet from that hour,
the commission was accepted instant-
ly. Elisha made his decision sure, by
a complete break with the past. He
slew the oxen as a burnt offering, and
burned the plows, to show that hence-
forth he was to engage in a. different
type of work. The old was past, the
new was b_egun. There must be no
wavering, no vacillation. He had made
his decision and be determined to
make the break with the old as pro-
nounced as possible.

READ not long ago of a Scotch fid-
dler, who played for dances. There
was always plenty of liquor at the
dances, so that he usually had to be
assisted home. His‘ wife was a quiet,
praying Christian. At last the fiddler
was converted, and united with the
church, to the great joy of his wife.
The following Sunday afternoon he'
took down the fiddle and began tuning
up. His wife looked at him reproach—
fully, and at last said, “Remember,
Sandy, it’s the Sabbath.” Sandy play-
ed one dance tune through, then laid
the violin on the floor and jumped
upon it, smashing it in a hundred
pieces. That was his way of breaking
with the past.

If one is going to act on a new line
of conduct; the thing for him to do is
to act, and give himself all the ad-

ELISHA figured, in many stirring
events, during his long. prophetic
career. The two kings of Judah and
Israel one day went to join battle with
the king of‘Moab. The armies march-
ed around the southern end of [the
Dead Sea, but en route they found
themselves in an arid region, desper-
ately needing water. The kings then
presented themselves to Elisha, crav--
ing his help. The prophet rebuked the
idolatrous king Jehdram, but was.
ready to assist the king of Judah. Bid-
ding the kings dig ditches in the dry
soil to show their faith, Elisha prayed,

and a flood of water filled the ditches, .

and saved the armies.

A poor widow had two sons, who
were liable to be taken as slaves to
pay her debts. She had but one pot
of oil. Elisha advised her to borrow
vessels of .her neighbors, saying that
they would all be filled with oil. She
had faith to borrow only about so
many. They were filled, she paid off
the debts with the surplus oil, and
lived on the- remainder. Very likely
she regretted to the end of her days
she had not borrowed more vessels.

THE most beautiful of the proph-
et’s miracles was the restoration
of the Shunamite woman’s son, while
the most dramatic was the healing of
Naaman’s leprosy. A godly woman
had observed that the prophet passed
through her community often, and she
fitted up a chamber for him, which
was for his use exclusively. She had
no child, and a son was promised her.
One day the child died of sunstroke,
and the mother rested not until she
found the prophet and had told him
of it. The child was restored to life.
The whole story is one of delicate and
touching beauty. The healing of Na-
man, the leper, is a moving tale. Naa-
man, a military man who had distin-
guished himself in battle, was much
offended when the prophet Would not
so much as come out to see him, but
bade him wash seven times in the '
muddy Jordan. He turned away in _a
rage, but was persuaded by some sen-
sible servants to make the trial, and
was healed. Elisha refused the pres-
ents that were offered, but his servant
Gehazi, followed the departing general,
told him a lie, received a handsome
gift, and returned to his master. His
deception was detected, and he was
cursed with the leprosy of Naaman,
which would, he was told, cling to him
and his family forever. “Elisha. was a
singular combination 'of passionate
sympathy and fierce prophetic zeal. If
he was more friendly with the people
than Elijah had been, he was at the
same time even more relentless in his
efforts to extirpate the evil practices
that were still prevalent in the na-
tion,” says Prof. H. L. VVillett.

The Easter lesson is an alternative
lesson with that of Elisha. The stud-
‘ent of the international lessons may
read either or both. Christ was the
Perfected Elisha. What the prophet
did not possess, Christ did. Truths
that would have been unthinkable to
Elisha fermed the basis-of all Christ’s
teaching. ‘

“Fine, line," said Bruin, “and just
They will soon

rows of cabbages, he called to Rolly,
“Just look what’s happened here."

Now Rolly had tended these cab—
bages faithfully, for they were his fav~
011te vegetable, and he liked them bet—
ter than anything else in their garden.

In answer to Bruin’s call, he came
hopping over. But when helooked at
the-cabbages, he felt very discouraged.
Little worms seemed to be everywhere
on'them‘. and some had big holes eaten
in the leaves. What— ragged looking
cabbage plants!

“Oh, the horrid worms," said Rolly,
“they will ruin my early cabbages.
What can we do?” ‘

“Too bad, too bad,” said Bruin, “but
in the morning, perhaps, I can find
something that will drive them away.
Bright and early the next morning
Bruin was out in the garden to see
what— he ‘could do. Carefullyhe look-
ed all the cabbage plants over, but
there wasn’t a single worm on them.

“Oh, Rolly, Rolly,” he called, “come
here.” And Rolly went hurrying to
the garden to see what was the mat-
ter.

“There is not a single worm left ”
said Bruin, “Where do you suppose
they have gone to?”

Together they searched the rows to.

“Ah, I have‘it,” said Bruin, “Our

away, but were eaten by the birds."

A little “chirp, chirp, chee-chee" in‘
a tree right over their heads made
them look up and there on the limb
was the same little bird that had the
broken wing. When he saw Rolly and

THE GREENS THAT GROW IN THE
SPRING.

 

NEVER feel that I've really cast

the winter sloth out of my blood

until I've enjoyed a good mess of
greens,” declared Mrs. Paisley. “Why
aren’t greens as good -a spring tonic
as the stuff you buy in bottles, doc-
tor?” ‘ -

I do not intend to argue the point.
1 think they are. I’ll go a step further
and admit that I know of no spring
tonics confined in bottles, capsules or
pills that are anything like as‘good.
And while I am stepping I will even
step far enough to assert that these
green things are good for one, not
only in the spring of the year, but also
at all other seasons.

Vitamines! Ce1 tainly. They abound
in two important classes, known tech-
11i¢ally as B. and 0., being the vita-
mines that make for proper nutrition
and prevent scurvy. That, in itself, is
enough argument for greens as a
spring tonic. As to clearing out im-
purities, if prepared properly and eat-
en in sufficient quantity, they are good
scavengers. No bugle call at reveille
is necessary for their devotees.

So Mrs. Paisley, is right. Greens
may be her tonic, whether they be
dandelions, mustard, beet-tops, chard
or spinach. Even cabbage may be
classed 'under the general classifica-
tion, and when it comes to vita-mines
there are few agents to. excel this
humble friend.

But don‘t stop with the spring. Take

the beneficent greens the whole year
around. You can get a great deal more
iron into your system by including,
spinach in your diet, than by taking
medicine from dark-colored bottles and
being especially careful not to allow
the spoon to become discolored. You
can prevent and even cure constipa-
tion‘much better by eating head let-
tuce, chard, cauliflower, cabbage and
other leafy vegetables, than by any
amount of nauseous cathartics.

l know 01' many spring tonics, done
up splendidly in attractive bottles and
elegant cartons. Some are a dollar a
bottle, and some two dollars a bottle,
and some are three bottles for five
dollars. But none possess the real, re-
vivifying. organ-racing, toning up,
purging out, pushing along, spring ton—

. ic properties of the succulent mess of
greens.

HAS SORE BACK.

 

I have an awful sore back and at
times it feels as if there are drops of
water running down my spine and in
evenings when I undress my clothes
ale damp. —-D. .

Since you have the evidence of wet
clothing it seems that you actually do
have “drops of water” or perspiration.
There being no particular reason for
such unseasonable sweating, combined
with soreness of the back, leads one

to suspect some serious complaint?
possibly a tubercuiar abscess of the

spine. You must have a very thorough

examination by a. skilled physician at:

F thes’e country men and women
would‘ learn that there are better
spring'tonics in their meadows and
fields than can be found in any drug
store, they would be better off,” a
physician once told me. Many house-
wives would consider some of our
“noxious weeds”. delicious if they were
sold on the market as early green suc-
culent foods. But when these same
plants may be had for the picking they
are scorned. These early greens are
wonderful blood purifiers and should
make a large part of our spring diet.
There are many elaborate salads,
etc., in which dandelions and other
spring greens play an important part,
but to most of us the old-fashioned
“boiled greens” are the best. A sim-
ple and reliable way to Cook them is
to boil till tender in salted water, with
a good ham bone, or lacking this,
slices of bacon or salt pork may be
used. XVhen tender, drain and cut

 

IGHTY is the force of moth-

erhood! It transforms all
things by its vital heat; it turns
timidity into fierce courage, and
dreadless defiance into tremu-
lous submission; it turns
thoughtlessness into foresight,
and yet stills all anxiety into
calm content; it makes selfish-
ness become self-denial, and
gives even to hard vanity the
glance of admiring love.-—-George
Eliot.

 

 

 

across several times with a very sharp
knife. Pour ham, bacon or pork fry-
ings, or melted butter, over them and
serve hot. If any are left, they may
be reserved by molding in tiny cups
and French dressing added just before
serving.

Never be careless in cleaning the
greens. Each leaf should be washed
separately, and on each side.

Purslane may be cooked alone or
with other greens. It makes a de-
licious addition to stews and soups,
and is a member of the Portulace fam-
ily. It is one of the few greens that
is geod when served either hot or cold.

Long before our garden greens are
ready for use—and sometimes before
they are planted—the sour dock is
ready for use. we consider it supe-
rior to either kale or spinach, and al-
though some people object to using it
because of the acid contents, there is

, in reality not enough acid in the plant

to be in the least injurious. These
same people eat rhubarb without a
thought of danger from the acid, and
yet there is more acid in a single stalk
0f rhubarb than in enough sour dock
for an entire meal. This plant will
furnish greens until there are plenty
‘ of others to take its place.

Lambs’ quarter is not liked by some
people because of its flat taste, but
when used with mustard, or some oth-
er leaf withasharp taste, is delicious.

Wild sorrel is good as greens, and
also makes a delicious and unusual

‘ soup when boiled very gently in rich

beef stock. Be very careful that it
does not boil to pieces. When tender,
serve with buttered toast.

Of course, everyone is familiar with

, dandelions, but some people do not

a

know that it is the best plant known

_ for the liver.

Cowslips are one of the best greens
known, and are usually quite plentiful"
in low, marshy land. ‘ \ _

Of all greens, wild mustard is the
favorite in our family. It is’fine c00k-'
ed with other ‘greens or by itself. It
is easy to pick and easy to clean, and
makes a good substitute for lettuce.

The young, tender sprouts of milk-
weed make an excellent substitute for
asparagus. It is cooked the same and
served the same. When the leaves
al‘e larger they make good greens.

Greens are ready to use before the
garden vegetables and fruits are ready
to be canned, and as the housewife is

 

are wonderful helps to slip under corn,
peas, preserves and other things likely

don't know how much wearisome pan

very slow cooking I use an o‘ld'stove
lid to slip under the kettle, thus get-
ting a chance to cook mush or cereal
a long time on the back of the stove.

Out of old tin can lids I have made

T becomes a source of pride, profit, and pleasure to every father who has
been a tiller of the soil when his son (or plural, as the case may be)

chooses to follow the farming profession.

In tempting the son to make

crop project.

But tipping the scales on the other side is the farm girl.

of an investigation by a national woman’s magazine proved that ninety-four
per cent of the farm women reporting were desirous of their daughters be-
coming the first party in matrimonial contracts with farmers. But what are
mothers doing to develop their daughters’ interest, inspiration and educa-
tion in a farm home and the management of it?

It is during the girlhood of these daughters that conditions, eitperi—
ences, and environment mold their impression of the life of the farm wife.
If these molding factors can only be such that they awaken in the farm girl

a keen interest in the farm hpme andthe love of it, and its advantages, ,

then it is that the farm girl will be'come the woman with the desire in her
heart to govern and manage a farm home. .

Much is being done through the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Organization to
train and interest farm girls in the business of the rural home. But with-
in that home the girl should have a definite responsibility. She should feel
that she fills a niche in the management of the home if she is to remain
there contentedly. ~ 7

HAIR TURNiNG ' GRAY.

 

 

1 me how to
1,133: {Gumedlp'mebribgn hair switch.
My hair has faded and is turning gray
so fast 1 can‘t wear my switch. 1
need itas asmy hair is so thin i can't
keep my hat on. Mrs. L S.

I believe there is no way in which
you might bleach a medium brown hair
switch so that it would match your
hair that is turning gray. in bleach-
ing. it, it would become merely a light-
er shade of “brown.

The best way would be to, send it
to a hair dresser’s and have gray hairs
added to it. If you areinterested in
this, I could furnish addresses of re-
liable places where you might have
this work done.

 

GEN-U IN E BUCKWHEAT CAKES.

 

' Papa and mamma have been discus-
to make buckwheat pan-
cakes. We would like a recipe for
making genuine buckwheat cakes—-
Miss E. W.

It mother will make cakes after the
following recipe, father ought to have
no argument over them.

1/3 coin: coma-eased yeast 1 tb. molasses

1,1) cup lukewarm water 8 cups water

1 tsp. salt Buckwheat flour

1 tsp. melted butter

Break the yeast in small pieces and
soak in the half cup of lukewarm
water. Then put it in a pitcher and
add 8 cups of lukewarm water, the
Salt and sufficient buckwheat flour to
make a smooth pour batter. Let stand
overnight. In the morning dip out 2
cups of batter and set aside. To the
portion to be used, add the molasses
and melted butter. Mix together light-
ly and bake on a griddle.

If there is batter left after break-
fast, pour it into the 2 cupt‘uls saved
out and set away.

Gardening Has Commenced

ATURDAY P. M.; time, three
thirty. -The farmer’s wife finds
all in readiness within her home
for the day of rest. Peeps into the
pantry and on the shelf sees delicious
custard pies. made of good rich cream
and fresh eggs. A little mere peeping
discloses two plump chickens dressed

and partly cooked for Sunday dinner.
Satisfied that all is well within
doors, she pulls on rubbers to look
over the garden situation and visit the
barnyard babies. As the door opens,
she sees the chickens scratching
among the litter covering last year’s
flower beds, and immediately decides
that their vacation days are over and
chicken park gates will close on them
at sundown. Looking to see if any
mischief has resulted from their ef-
forts, she finds the first Spike's of
tulips, daffodils. narcissus and other
“early risers” in garden parlance.

John, coming across the road at 5:45
finds Mary, busy as the proverbial bee,
and supper forgotten. Being the mod-

1 husband that he is, and knowing
Eowers are mother’s hobby, he just
gently hints that he is hungry. With

look of deep contrition the rake falls
from her hand and fifteen minutes lat-
er supper is steaming on the table.

Mary eats in silence, an absorbed
look on her face. Shall it be morning-
blories or nasturtiums at the back
kitchen window; shall it- be zinnias
with their stiff stems, or scabiosa wav-
ing gentlywith each breath of' wind,
for the little strip at theside of the
dear old wood house? Holl’yhocks pro-

T0 CAN FISH.

 

Can you tell me some way to canl
fish? I like fresh fish but I don’ t care-
Erfihem when they are in salt. ——Mrs.: 1

Clean the fish thoroughly, split and
remove the backbone. Place in a brine,
strong enough to hold an egg, for ten
minutes to one hour, according to the
thickness of the fish. Drain, wipe dry.
and cut into pieces that will pass'
through the opening of jar, and fry in
deep fat. Drain on pieces of paper to
absorb the excess fat. Pack in jam,

WATCH FOR BROODY HENS.

 

N large farm flocks of the heavy

breeds there is considerable loss be-
cause of the large number of hens not
needed for hatching purposes which
waste time while broody. It is found
that the average hens of the heavy
breeds will go broody four times each
year and some hens will have as many
as nine broody periods. When a hen
becomes broody she may lose about
twenty days before returning to laying
condition and that may mean a. loss of
about a dozen eggs from her yearly
record.

It is also found that the longer a.
hen remains broody up to a certain
limit the greater the time it requires
to return to laying condition. After a.
hen has been broody for several days
the organs of reproduction seem to
grow smaller and it takes a longer
time for them to return to normal than
as if the hen had been removed from
the nest promptly and broken up.

I go through my houses every night
at sundown and take every broody hen
from the nest. They are then confined
in broody crates for about three days
or longer, depending on their actions
which somewhat indicate the intensity
of’ the broodiness. Then they are freed
at sundown and any birds that return
to the nests are again placed in the
broody crates.

At seasons when there may be fifty
or more broody hens at the same time
Ialso use a. colony house as a broody
crate. The house contains a mash
hopper and one for grit and shell. The
broody hens receive plenty of scratch
grain- and fresh water. There are
roosts in the colony house but very
little litter on the floor which might

or four days the hens can be freed

.and very few will return to the nests.
{I have found it pays to break the hens

The longer they remain
on the nests the greater the difficulty

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the Bac-
illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ
is transmitted to the baby chick
through. the yolk of the newly hatched
egg. Readers” are warned to beware
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

won’t lose one chick where you lost
hundreds before. These letters prove it:

 

 

‘Never Lost a Single Chick

-Mrs. L. L. Tarn, 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 500 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 Orie 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 its Diar-
rhea. I' tried difierent 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.”

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk

PREVENTING WHITE DIARRHEA.

Have been giving my chickens,

the drinking water, for white diarrhea
and so many have died" that I would
like to know‘ it the water could be the
cause. Other years I have lost many
with diarrhea, so decided to try this
recipe to prevent it. None of them
had the bowel trouble, but as many
ha’ve died as did with it before. The

I have never used the formula you

white diarrhea. As far as I can learn
the scientific investigators of the ex-

solution of that kind which can be
recommended to either cure or pre-

Would discontinue it. Then possibly
a combination of sour milk, a growing

of the chicks. If that combinationi

TURKEYS WITH WEAK LEGS.

Two of my turkeys haven’t any use
of their feet and legs; their toes dou-
ble under their feet. They seem well
at night, and in the morning I find
them on the ground—Mrs. J. B

Leg weakness in fowls is a trouble
which is not thoroughly understood
but may be ,an outward sign of some
.other disease. I would isolate these
birds where they cannot be trampelled
by other members of the flock. Place
them in a dry sunny building and give
soft feed that is easily digested such
as bread and milk or laying mash
mixed in a crumby state with'sour
milk. The birds may gain in strength
and appear perfectly normal as soon
as the weather conditions are better
and they can enjoy a wide range.

HENS EATING EGGS.

Would you tell me what can be
done to stop hens from eating their
eggs?——B. R.

I believe that egg eating is a vice
among hens that starts from the lack
of a balanced ration and a combina-
tion of idleness and open nests where
the, eggs are easily seen. Lack of
nesting, material may cause eggs to
be broken when dropped on the bare
boards. Hens may scratch in the lit-
ter of open nests and kick the eggs
against the sides of the nest where
they are broken. Lack of oyster shells
will give the hens a craving for lime
and also cause them to produce eggs
with thin shells which are very easily

\Vhen hens have the habit turn
them out on range and gather the
eggs at least four times a day. Then
most of the eggs will be taken from
beneath some of the hens and they
will not stay in exposed nests very
long. Darken the nests so the hens
will enter from the rear on a track.

Uncle Frank, do you believe in boys
of my age starting a. Bank Account.
I have several dollars in the bank and
I earned it myself, watching the gate

as a prize for answering the jumble

enjoyed it more than I can tell you,
for I am a lover of candy. Daddy
says I eat too much, of course, he
knows. ,

I was a bit disappointed, and I
couldn’t quite understand why I won
but third prize, as I had the jumble
mess exactly correct, word for word.
I also had the ad. contest in February
9 issue perfectly right in every way,
with the exception of No. 1, and I did
not receive any prize.

Now, Uncle Frank, I know you have
a system and I would like to know
and perhaps there are other M. C.’s
too, that would like to know just how
you plan it out—Yours truly, Gertrude
Nerdon, M. C., Samaria, Mich.

I think I have answered your ques-
tion in what I have recently said in
these columns about contests. When
there are perhaps a hundred who have
a contest correct and we have only
ten prizes, certainly only the ten very
best can win.

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

Don’t you hatevto do dishes? Some-
times' I wish there- were _no‘ such
lthings as dishes. Well, I must close,

dishes. But I guess 'that at. times we
all feel that way about things. The
best way to getrid of that \feeling is
to do the thing you _ feel that way
about. >

 

Dear Uncle Frank : —-

I think it would be unfair to all of
us if you gave the prizes to those the.
really. were not supposed to get them.
It is just like examination. The,I per-
cent is so‘high and not less. If you
get below the percent then you fail. I
think that it should be like that in our
circle. If someone has a. better paper
than you, he is entitled to‘the prize,
Itht (you, no matter how often you have
me . -

Now what do you think of it Uncle
Frank? I got a. calf for nothing from
our neighbor and I am going to raise
it till it is four weeks old, then I will
sell it and buy me a radio. But I will
pay my father for the milk it drank.
Now my seat partner and I do not talk
so much of the Circle as we used to.
I am following your advice. Good-bye
to you and all the Cousins, I remain.—
John Stutzman, Utica, Mich, R. 3.

I think you have the right idea about
prizes. You must also have a good
neighbor. I hope your profits will be

large enough to buy a. dandy radio set.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I was misrepresented in my last let-
ter. I received letters addressed as
Miss. This was to be expected, as the
last letter was signed “Your niece.”
What I want to say is that I am not a.
girl, but a. boy. I am glad I am a. boy,
too. A boy has more liberties than a,
girl, I think. He is always in the
open air. A girl is always more or
less tied to the dingy little kitchen.

I received my membership card and

it. I think if everyone did“ .what that

would get: along much better. Some
people, by misfortune or bad associ-
ates, fall off the right road- and contin-
ue on that dark and uncertain Way—‘-
Your new niece, Emma Vietzke, Rapid

I am glad you like the precepts of
the Merry Circle. We M. C.’s can do
our little part to make the world ,bet-
ter by following them.’

 

Say, Uncle Frank:

I have a. question to ask. you. Do
you have to be a. Merry Circler before
you can win a prize? My brother and
I had an argument about it, so I wish
you would tell us.—-—Elizabeth McLean,
R. 1, Whittemore, Mich. » ,

No, you do not have to be an M. C.
to win a prize, but you become an 'M.
C. when you win a. prize. V

 

Dear Uncle. Frank: . ' s

I help my mother with housework
lots of times. I baked it hickorynut
cake today while mother did some
sweeping, and I did ironing, too.‘ Do
you think it hurts boys to work in the
house?—-Your glad~to-be—nephew, Ran-
ald Luke, M. C., Beaverton, Mich, R. 2.

I believe it does a. boy geod to help

his mother, for then he learns how
much work a. woman has to do. Some
of the world’s best cooks are men. I

I would like to taste that cake.

How Club‘Work Helped ‘Mc

By Mary C. Murray.

I BECAME interested in club work in
. the spring of 1922. MnHagerman
was the county leader then. He vis-
ited our school a few times and told
the children all about club work. I
was very interested from the first, but
as I didn’t go to school that year I
thought that I wasn’t eligible. Soon
after‘ this, A. L. Watt became our lead-
er, and he asked us girls to join, too.
I at onCe made up my mind to start
right in. So I joined the garden and
poultry clubs that summer. I enjoyed
the work very much and also won

.several dollars in prizes at our county

fair. Last, but not least, I received
the county championship for my gar-
den club work. That gave me the
privilege of attending club week at
M. A. C. last summer. I enjoyed the
trip very much, and should like to go
again, but I probably won’t have an-
other chance.

Last winter I belonged to a sewing
club, didn’t win any prizes for my
work, but I can make my own clothes
now, so I think it was worth while,
any way.

This year my chickens have not
done extra well, but I won third prize
at the fair and will clear about thirty
dollars on them.

Every year our club members enjoy
a week’s outing at Camp Birkett, the
Y. M. C. A. camp at Silver Lake. This
summer Miss Robb was there to help
us enjoy it. Such a lively time as we
have there surely takes away any ~de-
sire to be a pessimist. Each summer

3 we have a. county club picnic, too, for
. allthe members and their folks. These

events' are looked forward to (with
great anticipation, and’vthey add much
pleasure and interest to our work.

Washtenaw county is very fortunate
in having Mr. Watt as leader. He is
interested in each individual'and gives
them all the help he can. The most
of the success that Washtenaw’s boys
and girls have made is because of the
splendid leadership of Mr. Watt and
the local leaders. .

Club work has made farm life hap-
pier for many boys and girls, becauSe
they really owu something and there-
fore they take more interest in all the
work. '

Altogether,

my club work has

brought me about $100 and I am using
this money to help ‘pay my way
through school.

I think that every, boy and girl that

o

possibly can, should belong to a club.
Because it’s a. good experience, it helps
them to earn their own money, and
besides, they will enjoy better living

on the farm. 4
I am interested in the Boys’ and

Girls’ Page." I always read the“ letters ‘

and stories. I was especially interest-

, ed in the pictures the children drew of

THE agricultural development work-
ers throughout the Upper Penin-

ord recently established- by Rilma of
Bay Cliffs 93480, a pure-bred Guernsey
from the herd of the Bay Clifis Stock
Farm, at’ Big Bay, Marquette county.
J. B. Deutsch is proprietor of the farm
and owner of the herd.

Rilma of Bay Cliffs has hung. up a
record of 15,6847 pounds of milkrand
821.70 pounds of butter-fat, and her
average test was 5.24 per cent. The
record entitles her not only. to first
place in Class DD, but also places her
fourth in Class D. Rilma topped the
former world’s record in Class ’DD by
thirty-five pounds of butter-fat.

Rilma may also toss her head with
pride to a previous record in Class G
of 9,348.9 pounds of milk and 490.16
pounds of butter—fat. In referring to
Rilma’s recent record the Guernsey
Breeders’ Journal of March 1 says:
“An unusual coincidence is the fact
that her average test onEher Class G
record was exactly the same as the
percentage on her recently completed
record.” ,

Rilma’s ancestry points to her grand-
sire, Frank Rilma 21901, as the out-
standing animal among her forefath-
ers. Frank Rilma has over fifty regis—
tered daughters and over forty regis-
tered sons, while the records of.a
number of his daughters appear in the
Advanced Register.

In further reference to Rilma’s ex-
cellent record the Guernsey Breeders’
Journal says: “Rilma of Bay Cliffs
dropped her third calf, a strong heifer,
while she was making her record. Dur-
ing that year she was actually under
the supervision for forty-eight days,
which included twenty-two semi—
monthly tests, five re-tests, and check
tests by representatives from Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. It is such
records as this that are at the present
time bringing Michigan ‘Guernsey
breeders out in the foremost ranks of
production.”

The herd of the Bay Cliffs Farm is
probably the most outstanding aggre-
gation of pure—bred Guernseys to be
found throughout the upper Michigan
region. The herd numbers about thir-
ty-five females, a number of Whom are
class champions in production. A new
feeding and breeding barn, recently
completed, and other recent improve-
ments at Bay Cliffs has made possible
the utmost precaution in caring for the
prize animals in the herd. Animals
from the Bay Cliffs Stock Farm have
repeatedly appeared in the show ring
throughout the state and nation.

 

STEALI'NG THE JOY.

OME cows steal from dairying all
the joy. They keep dairy farmers
on their back, increase mortgages, and
finally drive farmers to a sort of slav-
ery. It’s unfortunate, pitiful, that cows
of that kind are fostered by their
owners.

. Sweet clover offers an excellent pas-

ture value to the Michigan dairymam

Sweet clover, preferably the white va-
riety, stands up under drouth condi-
tions, grows abundantly, and does not
cause bloat. During the past two
years at the M. A. C. pasture lots
sweet clover proved out to be the most
valuable pasture crop. Many Michi-
gan farmers are beginning to use this
excellent legume as a. source of per-
manent and abundant pasture.
Rosenburg,’ of Kalkaska, says that fif-
teen acres of sweet clover yielded him
better than $500 worth of butter-fat
made by eighteen cows during the
summer of 1922.

A NEW JERSEY CHAMPION FOR
MICHIGAN.

 

HE Michigan junior two-year-old
Jersey record has been exceeded
after having stood for over ten years.
You’ll Do’s Golden Rostelle 514744,
who started as a junior two-year-old,.
produced in one year 10,607 pounds of
milk and 669.38 pounds of butter-fat,
is the new champion. Her owner is
Samuel Odell, of Shelby, Michigan.
The former state holder of the junior
two-year—old championship is Corinne
of Roycroft 247303, who held the rec-
ord since October 30, 1912, when she
produced 640.90 pounds of butter-fat.
Rostelle calved in time to be enter-
ed in the advanced class and qualified
for a Silver Medal by a wide margin,
the requirement for a cow of her age
being 500.8 pounds of butter-fat. She
was in the fifty-pound list for eight
consecutive months. Her high month
was her fourth month. on test when
she produced over seventy pounds of
butter-fat.

DO BIG BUSINESS IN HOLSTEINS.

 

EARLY a half million dollars of

Holstein cattle have been shipped
by rail from Livingston County this
past year. This does not include the
hundreds of good animals sent out of
the county on truck, nor does it ac-
count for those traded or sold between
farmers within the county. Altogether,
107 cars were shipped, 83 cars of which
went to the state of New Jersey.

The production of also in the United
States is about 20 percent of that ,of
butter.

_ Owning a herd of pure—bred dairy cows
"wfhich heads the list in butter-fat proé
:, ducuomfor February among all herds
, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,
j which havelundergone- the official test,
. as prescribed by the Michigan Agricul-

.tural Coilege' Extension Department.

- The-report of Mrs. Erickson’s achieve-
. ment is announced by J. G. Wells, Jr.,
'. dairy extension specialist for the col-
_ lege, and in charge of herd improve-

ment and cow testing work through-
out the Upper Peninsula.

And “that ain’t all.” Mrs. Erickson
also owns the high-producing cow
among all tested herds in the penin-
sula. The Erickson herd of fine grade
Guernseys produced an ’average of
720.3 pounds of milk and 35.7 pounds

\ of butter-fat at a cost, for feeding, of
$9.18 per cow for the month. Mrs.
Erickson is gradually building up the
herd, and declares that a full herd of
pure—bred animals is her goal.

‘fMere man” is reduced to second
place, in the report submitted by Mr.
Wells. John Gaswan, of Delta county,
owns the high-producing- herd in that
district, with twenty cows in the herd.
First place in Gogebic county goes to
John Tassava, with fourteen cows.

Discussing the high-production rec-

ord of the Erickson herd, 'Mr. Wells»

said: “An interesting point concern-
ing this herd is that each of the cows
was in milk, and in the case of the
other two high-producing herds in Del-
ta and Gogebic counties, only two cows
were dry. The low average produc-
tion of all the herds is due largely to
the fact that such a large percentage
of the cows were dry. To obtain the
greatest profit from our dairy herds,
it is necessary to have them freshen
during the fall, and thus get the high-
producing months at the time when
butter-fat prices are best.”

 

HAS REASON FOR 'STICKING.

 

BILL Schoof is president of the Ma-

comb County Cow Testing Associa-
tion No. 1. He has beenin the asso~
ciation for three years. The first year
his cows averaged 8,000 pounds of
milk; the" second year this average
went to 10,000 pounds, and this year

his testing association for this big
gain. Is it‘necessary to add that “Bill"
is enthusiastic?

A

MR. HAEDICKE who, with Mr. Dy-

their St. Clair county farm, tells us
that he still keeps the same number
he had for the year preceding his en-
try .into a cow testing~ association.
Last year before joining the associa-

association, his income more than
doubled to $4,130. -

HE efficient cow tester of Macomb,

tells of finding four half-sisters in the
herds coming under his care that
showed unusual milking qualities. In
fact, one Of these halfssisters was high
cowin his association for milk produc-
tion. A little research showed that
these four cows were also a half-sister
through the sire to one of the record
cows of the Detroit Creamery herd. In
the effort to locate the sire which had
passed on to these good cows record
making qualities, it was learned that
he was already hanging in the win-
‘dows of a butcher shop in the form
of bologna. It is unfortunate indeed,
that this quality was not discovered
earlier,’ and the sire saved to give
dairy farmers more high producing
cows.

A MICHIGAN JERsEv MAKES
GREAT RECORD. -

/

 

HE Jersey cow, Jacoba’s Golden

Melia Ann 374745, owned by C. E.
George, of Union City, Michigan, has
recently completed a most creditable
record. She started test as a mature
cow and in one year produced 12,903
pounds of milk and 767.47 pounds of
butter-fat, on twice—a—day milking.

This Michigan Jersey appeared in
the fifty—pound list for eight consecu~
tive months and in the second month
of her lactation period missed the
ninety pounds of butter-fat smash by
only three—tenths of one pound.

As a senior two-year-old she won a
silver medal by producing 554.13
pounds of fat, and meeting the calving
requirements. Again as a senior two-
year-old she won both a gold and a
silver medal by producing 730.10
pounds of butter-fat and again meet-
ing the calving requirements. She has
now one tested daughter.

tions as they exist at the present mo—;
ment. It is human nature to see things
as they are, not as they were five
years ago, nor as they are apt to be
five years hence. It is easier to vis-
ualize ~the present and but natural to
follow the path of least resistance.

As a matter of. fact, however, the
world does not stand still at all.
Things are going or coming all the
time. Times are either getting better
or worse. The trend of the horse mar-
ket is either up or down, and the

    

Good Strong Colts Like This Are
Very Few.

cause of it is this human trait of look-
ing only at the present. When horses
are cheap we quit raising them, and
in five to eight years there is a scar-
city. Then they go up in price and
we go to raising them again, the high-
er they go the more we raise, and by
the time they are ready for market
there is an over-supply and We have to
sell them cheap. We lay the blame
onto the buyer, or to Wall Street, or
the political party in power, but, the
fact is, it is our own short-sighted pol-
icy that is at fault.

I am basing my calculations, only
upon observation and general informa-
tion, but, I am sure I am safe in say-
ing that there have been fewer colts
raised in the last threeyears than in
one year a. decade or so ago. The
country is full of old horses that will
be gone to the happy hunting grounds
in five to ten years, and where are the
horses coming from that must take
their places? Tractors and trucks, you
say. Yes, to a certain degree, but the
economy and the necessity of the sit-
uation require that mechanical power
can best supplement, not replace, draft
horse power.

A tractor just passed along the road
in front of my house while I have been
writing this. I could not help but note
that a good draft team was hooked on
ahead to help it through the snow
drifts—Pope.

 

DOCKED LAMBS BRING BETTER
PRICES.

HILE in some Oriental countries
' the tail of the sheep is a. most
important asset, this is not true in
America. In fact, tailless lambs bring
better prices on our markets than do
those with this appendage intact.
Most farmers are obliged to dock
and'castrate the lambs themselves.
Often much trouble comes from not
knowing all the necessary precautions
to take, or, what is more common,
many farmers keep putting the job
off until it is too late. No doubt, it
will be interesting to those who are
obliged to perform this work to study
the methods followed by an expert.
Frank Kleinheinz, the popular judge
of sheep at the'Michigan State Fair,

 

against the brush,

   

varsity flocks, has the following to say.
about the above t‘oplc: " ’ ‘ . -
“When the lambs are from one to

‘v

two weeks old they ought to be cas- ‘

tratedfi’ says Kleinheinz. Here are his
directions: ' “Select a nice bright day.
Have the lambs on clean dry bedding,
or if on pasture, haye” them on clean
dry grass. Have some warm water
containing a disinfectant. Wash your

hands clean. Have a sharp pocket

knife, dip both hands and knife in this
solution. It is also well when there
are a number of lambs to be castrated
to sort them out from the deck. Have
'a man catching a lamb hold it up
against his chest with its four legs to-
gether. The operator takes hold of
the scrotum and cuts off one-third of
the lower end. 'The testicles, now be-
ing exposed, are pulled out slowly, one
at a time. After this, drop some of
the disinfectant into the holes and put
the lamb with its mother. .

“A week after the buck lambs have
been castrated and are almost healed,
all lambs, ewes, and wethers should
be docked. In the country this work
is done mostly with a chisel and block.
A sharp knife is also used. The regu-
lar docking pinchers, however, are
highly recommended, as their use pre-
vents loss of blood to the lamb. They
should be heated till they are red hot.

.In warm weather when files are trou-

blesome, pine tar should be put on the
stub of the tail to prevent maggots.
This is the whole operation and can be
performed by anybody exercising a lit-
tle care.” . ‘

I AM new thinking of the spring pigs.

What are they going to eat this
summer? The problem is not a diffi-
cult one, if I attend to it now when I
should. There will probably be twen-
ty-five or thirty of the little fellows,
if we have, reasonably good luck. I
shall sow two acres of rape, an acre in
each of two plots. One of these plots
will be ready before the hot days are
here, while the other will be in first
rate condition when the first has been
consumed. I then can reseed the first
to be sufficiently grown for the porkers
for late pasture—F. Granny.

 

GROOMING THE HORSE.

THE best time for grooming is at

the close of the day’s work, un-
less the work has been exhaustive and
the animal is very tired; in this case
it should be allowed to rest first. ‘By
giving the animal a thorough groom-
ing at night, it will need but a light
grooming in the morning, simply to
remove the dirt and produce a cleanly
appearance.

The horse should be cool and dry.
Begin grooming at the left side of
the neck, immediately behind the left
ear, thoroughly brushing out the coat,
moving the brush in the direction that
the hair lies; if dirt is excessive and
sticks rather close, it may be neces-
sary to move the brush in a. circular-
direction. '

To use the brush to the best advan-
tage, it is advisable to stand at some
distance‘ from the horse, about arms’
length, and holding the arm fairly
rigid, lean a portion. of the body right
thus forcing it
through the hair. The brush should
not be brought down with too much
force upon those animals which have
a tender skin. If the operator stands
too close to the animal, and with his
arm bent, he is not as apt to remove
the dirt so effectively, since 'the
bristles do not penetrate the coat.

After the one side is completed, the
other side is groomed in the same

Good Michigan Wool is
’ Worth 50c per Pound

,HE last London wool auction

showed an advance of five per.

cent over the previous sales.
Bankrupt Germany seems someway
able to get financed to make heavy
purchases of Merino wool. "
Up to April 1, there have been con-
tracted in the west close to 15,000,000

pounds of wool at forty to ‘forty-two’
With some few exceptions, this \

cents.
wool is not in the same class with
Michigan's product. It is not as bright
nor as strong. and has a much heavier
shrink, besides the increased freight
rate to the mills in the east. Based
on these conditions, the Michigan
grower can bolt the dealer squarely
in the eye and say, “Fifty cents is the
value of my wool.”

After making deductions for carpet
wool, of which practically none is pro-
duced here, the actual consumption of
wool in the United States in 1923 was
773,000,000 pounds, of which 194,000,-
000 pounds were imported and 23,500,-
000 pounds of our wool was exported,
as against only 4,000,000 pounds in
1922. In 1922, we used 312,000,000
pounds of domestic wool. Analyzing
these figures and foreign prices being
comparatively higher in 1924 than they
were in 1923, with an export of be-
tween eight and nine per cent last
year, one can co-ordinate supply of
wool with demand and have all the
facts on the side of a fifty-cent wool
Last year there was still on
hand a large quantity of surplus wool
of the British-Australian Wool Asso-
ciation. This has now been practically
absorbed, so that this is not an item
of further consideration.

Boston stocks of wool are down to
50,000,000 pounds, and mills are run-
ning from' hand to mouth. The de-
mand for wool is not over strong, and
the large wool merchants are piecing
these two facts together. Mills are in
the immediate demand, and if they
can secure the supply while the mills
are awaiting an advance in goods pric-
es, they will reap the increase in wool
values.

One Yiddish wool house circular am-
biguously describes the wool market
as “Statu Quo,” which reminds one of
the famous stories of Col. Woods, the
auctioneer. A negro preacher’s ser—
mon fairly bristled with big words,
and he urged the congregation to join
his church or they would become
“Statu Quo.” One of his congregation
congratulated him on the excellence
of his sermon, and inquired just what
“Statu Quo” meant. The answer was
that this was Latin and meant “Hell
of a fix.” The bear advices on the
wool situation are quite as correct as
the colored man’s impromptu explana-
tion of what he did not understand.
The Michigan wool clip is not “Statu
Quo,” but is worth fifty cents per
pound.

Wool is among the few commodities
that bears a reasonable relation of
price to the general commodity‘price
farmers have to pay. The present ef~
fort to. beat the price down should be
resisted to the uttermost, not only as
an individual wool grower, but as a
general proposition. '

There is an occasional dissenting
voicedn opposition to the sheep man’s
prOduct, who has forgotten the lean
years following the close of the war
when the sheep owners were driven

' to ‘bankruptcy and their flocks sent

to the shambles. Now when wool
prices on last year’s basis are object-
ed to as one wool handling organiza-
tion report reads, "Dealers were not
justified in paying fifty cents straight
in 1923," one can well reflect that wool
was worth the price abroad, and that
the limitation of demand, not the real
demand, is now the basis for price
concessions.

A .family was once viewing a great
artist’s masterpiece of the Roman
Arena showing the early martyrs be-
ing destroyed, by hunger-enraged lions.
The child pointed with regret to one
little lion for whom no Christian had
been provided. The fear that the wool
grower might get too much for his
wool is likewise sympathy misplaced.
Michigan wool growers can safely say,
“Our wool is worth fifty cents,” and
sleep soundly with a clear conscience.
~J. N. McBride.

”very quiet bulls. , The charge came
without warming, and is supposed to

wounds had been inflicted, mostly to,
the limbs. Under skilled medical at-
tendance encouraging progress was
being made toward recovery, when a
blood clot entered the circulation and
finished the work the bull had so well
started.

Though many decades of work with
Hereford cattle. and experience in
handling hundreds of bulls, this is
the first time for such an experience
in the Sotham family, and strange as
it may seem, the bull that did the dam-
age was the pride of the older folks
and the pet of the children. It proves
again that a bull is a bull. His nature
is to fight, and no- matter how quiet
his disposition, or how tame he may
appear, that element in his nature is
prone to assert itself and may do so
at the least expected moment.

Henry'Sotham was a vigorous and
active gentlemen of the high type that
has developed along with the line
stock industry of this country. He had
just grown to manhood and his pas-
sing-marks the untimely end of a
career that promised much for the
cause and the progress of pure bred;
line stock. .

There is room in the United State
for doubling the wool production with-
out seriously disturbing any industry. .

One of the Army World
Cruisers being used on
the globe-encircling
flight.

U. S. fliers in dariugx
attempt to circumnaéio
gate the World.

 

‘ HE four U. S. Army fliers have “hopped
i off ” on their round-the-world flight.
Danger rides as the unsought passenger.
4 ven the most modern safeguards do not

remove the thrill and the peril of The Great
Adventure.

Much depends upon the engines. Are they
mechanically perfect? Will they “carry
through” safely? This is assured. Every
precaution has been taken.

The men behind the flight know the im-
portance of correct lubrication in assuring the

smooth, powerful operation of these engines
of the sky.

They are using Gargoyle Mobiloil “B.”

The flight outside of the U. S. has been
divided into six divisions and an advance
officer detailed to each division to make all
preparations. At Seattle, pontoons will re-
place the landing gears and the ships will
proceed northward as seaplanes to Prince
Rupert, to Alaska around the curve of the
Aleutian Islands, to Japan, China and India.
From Calcutta through Persia, the Near East
and Europe to England, the planes will carry

New York (Main Olive)

landing gears. Before leaving England pon-
toons will again take the place of the landing

gears for the homeward flight across the
Atlantic.

Airplane and tractor engines must con-
stantly work at full capacity. This is a heavy-
duty, heat-developing work, and the use of un-
suitable oil commonly results in premature
breakdowns and wasteful fuel and oil con-
sumption.

The same Gargoyle Mobiloil “B” is recom-
mended for the Avery, the Holt, the Oil Pull
and many other makes of tractors, while
Mobiloil “BB” which is exactly the same oil
except a little lighter in body is recommended

for the Fordson, the Cletrac, the Wallace and
others.

The use of Mobiloil as specified in the Chart
of Recommendations will show you a decided
lowering in operating expense in both ybur
tractor and automobile.

And in using Mobiloil you assure the same .
reliability of service which is of the utmost
importance in the Round-the-World flight.
