"L‘FL'- ' w"
After owning several other cars, I

purchased a 1921 Model Coupe, and

the service and satisfaction justified

my purchasing a 1924 Model for a

family car, and 1 must say that of

eighteen automobiles which I have

owned, some of which cost more than

twice as much as the Buick, it is a

wonderful performing car. The engine

is powerful and quiet; the riding

qualities cannot be beaten; the four-

wheel brakes give you that feeling of

safety which is so much appreciated

in this day of congested traffic.





I can heartily endorse Buick to anyone

who appreciates most in an automobile.

UICK value finds two distinct modes of

expression. First, there is the apparent

value—the value which manifests itself in

the beauty and excellence of Buick design,





"and in the. greater'riding comfort, power and





safety which Buick provides. Then there is

that deeper value revealed in what is so often

termed Buick character. The Buick owner

alone knows best the dependable, satisfying

and trouble-free transportation Buick gives,

not merely for a few thousand, but for scores

of'thousands of miles; not merely for a

year or two, but year after year as long as

a Buick owner chooses to drive his car.

To get the most hay, the soys should

be cut when the pods are well plump-

this, will be just before the lower

leaves begin to turn yellow. They can

be cut with a mower, raked in wind-

Piper and Morse, the leaves of the soy-





‘ beans constitute over 40% of the hay





and contain 19% of protein, hence the

importance of handling so that very

few leaves will be lost.





The Farm Crops Department of the

Michigan Agricultural College has

tried out many varieties of scybeans in

many parts of the state and it is in-

deed a poor soil or an adverse season

when soybeans do not yield a top of

hay per acre and yields have been as

high as three tons per acre. The ac-

companying picture shows a test of

soybean varieties grown in 28-inch

rows. One row of each variety is

planted side by side so that each will

have an equal opportunity.



Of the many varieties of soybeans

which have been tested the Manchu,

Ito San and Black Eyebrow have prov-

en dependable. They can be used for

hay or allowed to mature grain

which may be fed to the stock, cattle,





sheep or hogs, or may be sold for

seed.

Another variety, the Wilson, has





given even larger yields of hay, during

the time it has been tested. The Wil-

son does not mature seed in Michigan,

however, so will be a little more difli-

cult to cure as it will be less ripe when

out for hay than the other varieties

mentioned.



The man who fears he may be short

of hay this summer should consider

the desirable characteristics of » soy-

beans before sowing Sudan Grass, Mil-

let or some similar crop.





MuskratF arming Has a Future

have combined to make the chubby

But now these





 





and attend the St. Louis and New York

sales where they meet foreign buyers

from the farthest parts of the globe

At these international auctions there

are more tables of muskrat fur than

any other. It seems as if these marsh

and pond inhabitants, who produce

from 18-40 young a year had conscious-

ly undertaken the task , of making

America first in the fur business. The

fur sale held in St. Louis in 1919 -’to—

tailed nearly $8,000,000 and this is

only a partial measure of the fur busi-

ness. This amount is more than eight

times that of the 1915 St. Louis fur





sale and the increase is typical of the





growth of the entire fur trade in the

United States. ,



The fur manufacturer is using the

muskrat fur to imitate the finest,

silkiest and most pleasing furs found

in the best fur stores. It’s an honest

effort on his part for wholesale deal-

ers in fur have as good ethics as are

found in any business. When he has

produced from the muskrat pelage

something beautiful to see, and as dur-

able as the natural wearing qualities

of the pelt make it, he gives his manu-

factured articlea name. Thus it is

that muskrat fur parades as Aleutian

seal, Hudson Bay Seal, Hudson seal,

Mole, Real Seal, Red River Seal, River

Mink, River Sable and Russian Otter.

About the only time its own name ap-





pears is when the manufacturer deal-

ing in rabbit fur, compliments his out—

put by calling it muskrat.



In Washington, D. C., the Biological

Survey of the Department of Agri—

culture 'is Sponsoring muskrat farming

and Mr- Frank G. Ashbrook, an expert

in fur bearing animals has gone into

the region where muskrats are thick—

est and made a study of the whole sit~

nation . The owners of the marshes

employ trappers to make the catch

and market the hides. Let the supply

of trappers be too few or too greedy

for gain and a diesatisfied wave runs

through the whole fur trade. - The ul—

timate wearer of the fur shares it.

What’s the cause? Some of the trap-

ping has been done out of season, too





early in December, or too late after '





the middle of March. Unprimed skins

get into the market and everybody

grumbles. Extending the trapping out

of season lessens next season’s crop

of animals and the continuation of this

practice will finally have the effect of

killing the rat that grows the golden

fun! The superiority of fur taken in

midwinter shows in the thickness and

the fresh oily gloss. A new owner of

a. muskrat farm likes to see a large

first year’s income, and if his tract

has not been trapped for sometime he

can have it. An instance of this is the

man who paid $2, 200 for his marsh





farm and netted an income of $1,600

the first year from trapping muskrat.

There are two kinds of inspiration to

progress in this business; the one

good, the other bad. It is bad to spur





increased output at the expense of the

future output of the animals and of

CURRENT COMMENT





T is said that Sew





The eral years ago



when a garment mak—

Safe er’s league was .estab-

Way lished, one of the





leading garment mak-

ers had a resolution put through to

the effect that all garment cutting

should stop for six weeks in order to

relieve the market of a surplus. Im-

mediately he went back to his fac-





‘ tory and ordered his forca to work

{at full speed.





The ‘other garment

makers being crafty did the same

thing. As a result the market was

flooded.



A plan for'restricting the produc—

tion of farm crops works somewhat

in the same manner. The actual re-

striction is always less than what was

planned, because it is human nature

to try to take advantage. However,

while artificial restriction does not

work, the law of supply and demand

does. Nobody can, more than tempor-

arily at least, go contrary to its trend

without suffering the_ consequences.

It would seem therefore that to study

the trend of supply and demand should





‘ profit one in making his future farm-





ing plans.

We can find in our

Dreams will and push them





out in the open. That

is therway to make dreams come true.

All worth-while. things in life were

once dreams. They were the ideals,

the aspirations, the visions of what

men hoped to do, or to be, or to have.



Dreams are the stuff that life and

character are made of, and yet,

dreams alone never accomplish any-

thing. Foolish fancies and idle dream-

ing, if not properly backed up, may

oftentimes snap and destroy the real

fiber of one’s being. If a dream is put

into action,

it may become a fine farm, a beauti-

ful home, a college education or a

good business. All these fine and use-

ful things that we see so commonly

about us were Once dreams.



The ideal is first necessary before

any really worth-while thing can be

realized. There will be times when

this ideal, this dream, this vision of

what we want to do, or to be, or to

have, will come to us clearly and we

will be sure we are on the right track.

We must stick to these ideals. It will

take some courage to stick, for there

will also come times when the object

of our dreams seems hopeless, and we

apparently lose our way.



It is at these off- times that there is

elimination of the 'county agent.

The county agent is not holding a





soft political job, but generally Works





hard for what he gets. He has been

an economic asset to most of the





counties who employed, him; because





he has gotten the farmers, by person-

8.1 contract and demonstration, to do

those things for their own good they

should have done a long time ago.





While we in Michigan are occasion-

ally dropping the. county agent, other

states are supporting the movement





some ninety-seven. county agents out

of a possible one—hundred. and four.

Indiana is also strongly established in

this respect. Even those mid-western

states which have suffered so strongly

from an agricultural depression

through over-production, are backing

the county agent diligently with the

realization that he is a great factor

in guiding them from agricultural pov-

erty back to prosperity again through

economical production. The agricul~





tural states, who are down to a finan- '

*cial rock bottom with heavy taxes to





pay, consider it a necessity to include

the maintainenCe of a county agent as

part of their tax budget.





Of course, there may be local or

personal factors which make it advis-

able to eliminate the county agent, but

in the majority of cases it has been

demonstrated that the county agent

system properly conducted more than

pays for itself.

must be what you call spring fever.

Then she says, you come right here

and take adose of sulfur and molas-

ses. I’ve taken so much 0’ that sulfur

stuff that I am afraid to strike a match

near my mouth fer fear the sulfur’d

go off. Then I surewould spit fire,

wouldn’t I?

didn’t like ta

spade on a full

stomach but she

says you ain’t;

your goin’ to

the chickun coop.

It ain't no use arg-





 





' uin' with Sophie so I went behind the





chickun coop.





Well, about the first shovel full I

took I throwed up the nicest fattest

worm you ever saw. Say, you know

that just made my hands itch fer fish.-

in'. So I just got a can and put that

worm in it, and then I went after

some more worms and before I-had

that can full of nice juicy ones, I had

the garden all dug. That’s the way

Sophie got her garden dug but she

don’t know it ’cause I got them worms

in a private place in the barn; the op«

purtunity fer fishin' is comin‘ some of

these days





You know this world ain’t made

right, or I ain't made right, either one.

I don't see why a fellow is gotta plow '

and plow and plow and etc, when the

poppies is poppin’, the birds is’singin’

and etc. It ain’t right for a man to'

have ta work when everythin’ is en-

joyin’ itself, and just workin’ fer the

privileges of payin’ taxes so he kin

have the privilege of workin’. Robins

don’t work and don’t pay no taxes

and see the fun they have.





' Sophie says, alright- go and be a

make a. better crow ’causa you’re al-

been prominent in farmers’ coopera-

tive organization work.



Cooperation is the term used to des-

ignate many different movements and

carry forward many ideas about farm-

ers’ organization work. Not many

ation was thought to be that of elimi-





nating the middleman and returning





to the farmer the profits the middle-

man made. Experiences of farmers’

cooperative marketing organizations

have shown that profits which the av-

erage middleman took as pay for his

services were not as great as was

commonly supposed and that, in a

great many instances, the costs of do-

ing business cooperatively were great-

er than the profits formerly taken by

the private trader. We have been mak-

ing a study of marketing during the

past ten years and have discovered

that there are certain essential market

services which must be performed by

some one. We have learned that the

mere—existence of a,cooperative market-

ing organization does not assure that

will be efficiently and cheaply per-

formed.



There has been a change in the pop-

ular mind as to the real service the

cooperative marketing association is

capable of rendering. Very little is

now heard about the “elimination of

the middleman.” The popular func-

tion or these associations appears to

be that of “having something to say

about the price we shall receive for

our product.” It is this price control

or priCe-setting service which farmers

are expecting the cooperative market-

ing association to perform for them

and thereby cause prosperity to re-

turn.



We are told that through properly

organized cooperative marketing'asso-

ciations the farmer may “merchandise

his product instead of following the

present practice of dumping. it” and

that if the farmer will “regulate the

flow of produce to market he can have

something to say about the prices he .

will receive.” This theory of-cOoper-,

ative marketing is, indeed, a form’of

agricultural combination for the pur-

pose of monopoly control and is essen-

tially the same as that upon which the

great industlial trusts have been or-U

ganized.



In the past, iarmeis have been loud

in their condemnation of trusts and.

all forms of organization which aimed

at price control. The espousal of this





_plan whereby farmers attempt to take





for themselves privileges they deny to , '

others, does not necessarily indicate,

insincerity, for the farmer has not

seen another way out of his difficult-

ies. Also, he reasons that in spite of

laws industry is actually combining to

All- muck soils? need" potash





l-MUCK soils are deceptivb—they have the dark,

, mellow appearance that is generally associated

. with a soil that is rich in plant food. .





Farmers are usually discouraged with the yields from

muck soils and many cannot yet understand why

these soils do not live up to their appearance.





Hundreds of experiments and the experience of thou-

sands of farmers prove that the plant food lacking in

muck soils is potash.





For example, Nick Koster, of Ross, Kent County,

Michigan, when he used no fertilizer raised but

228 cases of celery, worth $193 80. Using fertilizer

without potash helped some, for his yield jumped

to 288 cases per acre. But when he added 210

pounds of Genuine German Sulphate of Potash he

got 432 cases which sold for $367. 20. In other

words, he gained $122. 40 by using a couple of

hundred pounds of potash.





You, too, should add this lacking ingredient and your

muck and peat lands will yield bountifully and amply

reward you for your investment in potash.





Mann-re will not do—it is wasted on peat or muck,

soil; for muck soils already contain plenty of organic

matter, and there is not enough potash in manure

to feed a crop.





This year apply plenty of Genuine German Potash to

your muck soils, plant your crop, and be prepared for .

bumper results. Use either Muriate or Sulphate of ‘

Potash, at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre, but

be Sure you get the genuine German kind-it pays.





Send now for. interesting and valuable

booklets on Muck Soils, giving results of

experiments on soils sunilar to yours.

MICHIGAN POTATO GROWERS-

HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.





"I‘HE use of Michigan certified po-





tato seed is increasing rapidly as

shown by Secretary Moore’s report at

the annual meeting of the Michigan

Potato Producers’ Association at Trav-

In 1921, accord-

ing to this report 3, 500 bushels were

planted, then next year 18,000 bushels

and last yea1 65, 000 bushels.





Returns justify this growth for the

same report shows that the acre yields

from Michigan certified seed for the

past four years are respectively, 138,

142, 167 and 192 bushels for the sea.-

sons from 1920 to date. The corres-

ponding state yields are '105, 80, 106

and 114 bushels per acre.



Twenty states are now giving atten-

tion to the growing of c’eitified seed.

Michigan growers ale awa1e of this

competition, but feel that their natui-





~ 31 advantages in growing the best of

seed stock will enable them to gain-





and keep the cream of the market. On

the other hand, some see a cloud in

the existence of two selling agencies

in the field, While others hold that this

should promote healthy competition.





The financial statement 'was en-

couraging. The total receipts for the

year being $9,454.12 plus a balance

from last year of $4,132.19, which

made the year’s total assests $13,586.-

leaving a balance on hand of $4, 985 28

THE LAYING CONTEST.





DURING this contest which has



now been running for over five

months, the Leghorn pens belonging

to W. C. Eckard, of Paw Paw, have

consistently maintained the lead in

production.



His first pen now has 1233 eggs to

its credit While ,his other pen,which

comes second in the contest, has laid

1,136 eggs. The Leghorns, belonging

to L. F. Hensley, of Dorr, comes third

with 1124 eggs to its credit.



The fourth pen is the Evergreen

Poultry Farm White Wyandotte lay-

ers, from Greenville They have laid

1012 eggs. And next to them is the

pen of Leghorns belonging to Chas.

Hoffman, of Newaygo. The contest

thus far has maintained a much high-

er average laying recérd than the com

test last year.

ASPARAGUS, GINSENG, GLADIOLI.





 





When is the best time to transplant

asparagus? We have some growing in

a sod. It was there when we came on

the farm . How would you proceed to

transplant?



Can you tell me something about

Ginseng? I have seen it advertized.

Also Gladioli. I should like to try and

raise some this summer. —C K.





The best time to plant asparagus is

early spring. I would suggest that

instead of trying to transfer old plants

that you secure new, one year roots

and set them where you desire a new

patch. Attempts to take up old

crows and reset them usually are not

successful, as a good productive patch

can be grown much quicker by setting

Young plants. The plants should be

set eighteen inches apart in rows three

or four feet apart. Set the plants deep

so that the crows will be six or eight

inches below the surface of the soil.

The Washington is the best variety.



Profits from ginseng culture are

usually on paper and I would suggest





that you devote .your time and money’





to ‘the growing of some cultivated

crop which you know will produce

profitable results. If you can gather

wild plants at little cost you may

make something from them, but the

purchase of plants and the necessary

expense involved in caring for them is

seldom profitable.





Gladioli are easily grown. The bulbs

may be secured from any raliable nur-

seryman or seedsman. Set the bulbs

several inches deep, keep the plants

well cultivated and you will be re-

warded .by the handsome flowers this

summer and fall. It is a good plan to

set the bulbs at various times during





the spring in order to have a succesg





sion of bloom—R. E. Loree.





PROFIT IN FEEDING COWS.

with milk selling at 3.00 per cwt. de«

livered. I- would feed from 1% to 2

lbs. a day. A declares there is no

profit and B says there is.



Also. wish to know if, where you





have no silage, are sugar beets a good “





feed for cows giving milk? Have been

told they were injurous on account of

SOWING ALFALFA ON RYE. '





 





Would it be advisable to sow alfal-

of wheat was harvested from this field

Excellent results are being secured

with alfalfa seeded on rye and wheat

provided the ground is fairly fertile

and not in need of lime. Would sug-

gest making seeding in late March or

during April just as soon as ground is

in proper condition for drilling or har-

rowing. If drill is used, drill cross-

of one-half to three-quarters of an

inch. If seed is broadcasted, follow

with harrow with teeth slanting slight-

ly backwards. Eight or ten pounds of

from twelve to fifteen pounds of com-

the man selling the cow said that the

are “tempered” with tallow. By

a special process every fibre of

the leather is treated with this

pure, life-giving animal oil. It

gives to the leather a flexibility

that cannot be secured in. any

other way and that lasts to the

very end. Comflex Shoes “Need

ADVISES SMALL SEED POTATOES.





 





N tests made at Geneva,'New York,

whole small seed potatoes yielded



at the rate of 529.13 bushels per acre,

while seed pieces 01‘? large tubers from

the same plants which produced the

. small potatoes, yielded 511.83 bushels

per acre, or an increase of 17.3 bushels

per acre in favOr of the whole small

seed potatoes. '

That the small potatoes did not ma-

terially affect the proportion of small

potatoes in the crop'is shown by the

fact that the proportion of potatoes

weighing less than two ounces was

9.18 bushels per {acre for the small,

uncut seed potatoes and 8.07 bushels

“from the pieces of large seed tubers.

This leaves a difference of nearly sev-

enteen bushels of marketable potatoes





in favor of the crop grown from whole





small seed.





FEWER POTATO VARI ETI ES.





 





HROUGH ten year’s work in stand- ‘





ardization, Michigan has been able

to cut her list of potato varieties in

half. Varieties that were not well

adapted to growing conditions in the

northern counties, and for which

there was a slim‘market demand, were

discarded, leaving only 'six standard

varieties. They are Triumph, Early

Ohio, Irish Cobbler, White Rurals, Rus~

set Rurals and Green Mountain.



In this list there are three early

and three late varieties that are

adapted to various localities, when

they are, grown under proper cultural

conditions, and they sell well either

for table use or for seed purposes. ’



0f the early sorts, Triumph is the

earliest. It is small, round and red in

color, a light yielder and subject to

drought. Early Ohios mature about

two weeks later than Triumphs, and

have pink skins, round-oblong, sha1~

low eyes, often slightly bulging,'and

the skin is marked with light, corky'

dots; the quality is excellent. .



Then the Irish Cobbler matures a

few days later than Early Ohios. This

potato is round, creamy white, with

rather deep eyes and a deeply notched

stem end. White Rurals include Rural

New Yorker No. 2, Carman No. 3, Sir

Raleigh and other white skins and





shallow eyes.

a creamy white skin, round to oblong

A survey of potato marketing shows

that Michigan potatoes brought an av~‘

erage of $2:17 per cwt. Of this amount

the growers received forty-nine cents,

country buyers thirty-one cents, rail-

roads thirty-eight cents, andcity dis- ‘

‘tributors ninety-nine cents.

What you actually pay for when you buy a battery

of good quality stock. .7 Largeyields .

lower the'production‘ costs per bushel;





and high quality potatoes can be mar-

keted to the best advantage. , More

better potatoes to the acre should be

the goal aimed for by the producer.



Careful grading is essential in bet-

tering the market quality of potatoes,

but grading'alone is not the only facL

tor in improving 'the market quality

of potatoes. Marketing quality pota-

toes is essentially a produbtion prob-

lem. Michigan growers must realize

this point if they are to compete suc~

cessfully with potato growers of other





_ states.





The market demands potatoes that

are bright, sound, smooth and free

from serious blemishes. It discrimin-

ates against dark, hollow hearted,

rough and ill-shaped stock that is dis-

eased or mechanically injured. Grow-

ers should now study the factors es-

sential in growing good quality pota—

toes and this season produce the kind

that the market wants.





Climate and Potato Quality.



Climate is one of the most impor-

tant factors in growing a good crop of

potatoes. The potato demands a fair-

ly cool moist growing season for its

best development Due to the location

of Michigan with respect to latitude

and proximity to the Great Lakes praC<

tically all sections of the state have

sufficiently cool growing seasons for

satisfactory potato production, and in

the more northern sections of the

state the temperature conditions are

nearly ideal.





Rainfall is often a limiting factor

in potato production. Nearly every

year droughts in one or more sections





'of the state are of common occurrence





and the potato crop suffers. These

dry periods followed by periods of

heavy rainfall iwere largely respons-

ible for the high percentage of hollow

hearted potatoes that were produced

last season.





It was observed, however, that even

in those sections where weather condi—

tions were the most unfavorable last

season, that those growers who were

following the best cultural practices

were producing potatoes of good qual-

ity and relatively free from hollow

heart. The grower has no control

over climate but he does have con-

trol over such factors as soil, seed,

planting, spraying, etc. all of Which

can be used to good advantage in over-

coming the effects of adverse weather

conditions. «



No one factor alone will solve the

quality problem, but a combination of

all the good cultural practices will

put the grower on the right road to

quality production.



Importance of Good Soil.





The soil furnishes food and water

to the plants. If it is lacking at any





time during the growing season in,





available plant food and moisture the

development of the plants is checked

and the quality of the tubers is in-

jured. It is, therefore, very important

to prepare the soil so there will be an

abundance of plant food and moisture

in it. One of the _most economical

ways of doing this is to plant the pa

tatoes on alfalfa, sweet clover or clo-

ver sod that has been top dressed the

summer or fall previous to planting

with 10 or more loads of stable man-

ure to the acre. The sods and manure

when plowed under decompose and

and furnish plant food, and the humus





that is formed increases the moisture





‘ plowed in the fall or early





holding capacity of the soil. Such soil





is able to produce good quality crops

Potato growers

should pay mere attention to the grow?

ing of leguminous crops that will bet?

.ter prepare their soils for potatoes.





eyeir in dry Seasons.





In some cases, fresh stable manure





applied Shortly before planting favors





the development of potato scab.





Commercial fertilizers are becoming:





more generally used by the potato

growers. 011 good loam soils that are

well supplied with organic matter six-

teen per cent acid phosphate used at

the rate of 400 to 600 pounds per acre

is usually beneficial. Generally on the

lighter loam soils ;that are not so well

supplied with organic matter a com-

plete fertilizer analyses approximately

3 per cent nitrogen, 12 per cent phos-





phoric acid and 4 per cent potash





gives excellent results when used at

the rate (if 400 to 800 pounds to the

acre. Plant potatoes on soils that are

of a foamy tYpe and well drained.

Light sands and heavy days are not

suitable for potato production. Sandy

loam gravelly loam, and silt loams are

excellent types.





Early Fitting of Seed Bed Important.



It is quite general for many growers

to delay the plowing and fitting of

their potato land until a week or so

previous to planting. In order to con-

serve soil moisture the land should be

in the

spring and the seed bed should be

worked over several times with a har-

row or drag before the potatoes are

planted. This early working of the

soil kills grass and weed seedlings

and put the seed bed in a fine state

of tilth. Potatoes planted on an early

fitted seed bed will withstand droughts

better and will average higher in qual-

ity than will those planted on a. seed

bed that has been plowed and fitted

just before planting time.



Planting for Quality.





On fertile, well prepared soil the

yield of good quality potatoes can gen~

erally be increased by closer plantings.

Some varieties of potatoes particularly

the Rural types have a. tendency to

set but few tubers-to the hill and

when the hills are far apart the tim—

bers may grow too large and rough.

The practice of planting the hills 36

x 36 inches apart is not generally re-

commended. Planting distance tests

that have been conducted and obser-

vations that have been made in the

field show that the best results are us-

ually secured where the rows are ap-

proximately 36” apart and the bills

from 15 to 24 inches apart in the rows.

Practically all of the men who won

membership this year in the 300 Bush—

el Potato Club follow the closer plant-

ing practice. Inspection of their pota-

toes in the bin showed the percentage

of hollow potatoes to be practically

negligible.



The time of planting is very impor-

tant from the quality standpoint.

Good quality. potatoe should be matur—

ed’sufl‘lciently at harvest time so that

their skins are not easily bruised. Im-

mature stock is easily bruised and

when shipped or placed in storage it

turns dark. This color factor is very

important—the market‘ wants bright

potatoes——it does not want the dark

immatured kind.





Late varieties such as Green Moun-

tain, Russet Rural and White Rural

require 120 days or more from date of

planting to maturity. In the northern

and central sections of‘the state where

the growing season is comparatively

short the later crop should be planted

during the latter part of May or the

first week in June. In the southern





‘part of the state and in the lake shore





sections where killing frosts are not



of common occurrence before October



the planting date is usually- about the

BRIGHT’S DISEASE





HE name “Bright’s Disease” has





hedrt of almost any patient, for sev-

eral generations have learned to 11580-

mate it with calamity and death. It.

is rather a. lOose term and is applied





' in general to any disease of ‘the‘ kid-





none in which the urine is feund to

contain albumen A doctor who per-

mit/s himself to classify a. diSease un-

der such a general head is practically

admitting that: he is not informed as

to its exact nature, or else he is try;

ing to speak in- terms that he thinks





. the patient will understand. The gen-





eial public thinks only of two kidney

diseases—one is diabetes and the

other Bright’s Disease. The first is

usually associated with a waste of

sugar through the urine, the second

with a. discharge of albumen.





Brlght’ s Disease/is [much more easily

prevented than cured; in 'fact, 'the

chronic form is always incurable when

sufficiently advanced to be recognized.

If parents will insist on keeping their

children in bed until fully recovered

from such diseases as measles, scar-

let fever and influenza, the coming

generation will know very little

Bright’s disease. In a measure this is

equally true of adult patients. The

person who stays in bed long enough

to make a good recovery from his in-

fluenza, pneumonia, acute nephritis, or

bad cold does not invite Bright’s Dis-

ease. The one who fears that the

World will not continue its cycle un-

less he is pushing, and rushes back

to school or business while still weak

and tender, is shouting an invitation

to Bright’s Disease at the top of his

voice





Those already afflicted with chonlc



Bright’s Disease need not surrender.

There is much that can be done. The

skin must be made to do its full work

at all times, thus easing the load of

the kidneys. Cold, penetrating winds

should be avoided much more particu-

larly, than steady cold weather. Wool~

en underwear should be worn at all

seasons, and the dressing of the feet

must always receive care. Avoid dry,

hot rooms, also those that are chill

anddamp. If finance will permit, the

patient with Bright’s Disease should

winter in a. favorable climate such as

Florida. or California.

Certain medicines are helpful in the

treatment of Bright’s Disease but

there is no one specific. Much more

may be gained by careful attention to

clothing, habits of living and diet. In

general the intake of nitrogenous food

must, be reduced; strong tea, coffee,

highly spiced foods, anything that

adds to the difficulty of the kidneys

in their work of elimination is unwise.

Let the patient use good judgment as

to dress, diet and drink and he may

live to a good old age. »





 





HOW WOULD YOU TREAT STYES?





 





My little grandson, five years of age,

is troubled with styes on his eyes.

What treatment would you advise?-—~

C. L H.





In a young child, styes often come

from a mild infection. This condition

may be helped by a mild antiseptic,

such as boracic acid. At night apply

a little berated vaseline to each eye.

You can buy this in a small when

sible tube. Through the day bathe the

eyes twice daily with a solution com-

posed of one teaspoonful of boracic





.acid powder in a half pint of warm





water.

“Big Bud” is right there with the

In fact, the whole family is all in a

Because of that radio set!





 





 





“In the first place, Thayer,” he com-

manded, “You might as well know one

thing. You’re caught. The goods are

on you. You’re going up—if for noth-

ing else than an attempt to murder

Ba’tiste Renaud and myself.”



“I——I thought you were robbers.”



“You know that’s a lie. But that’s

a matter ‘for the court room. There

are greater things. In the first

place—”



”About that other—” Still he clung

to his one shred of a. story, his only

possibility of hope. Conscience had

prompted the first outcry; now there

was.nothing to do but followthe lead.

“I don't know anything. .She told me

——that’s all. And she’s dead now.”



“Ah, oui!” Ba’tiste had edged for-

ward. “She is dead. And because she

is dead—because she have suffer and

die, you would lay to her door murder!

Where then is the ten

thousand dollar she took—if she kill

An hour passed, while Tabernacle

crowded the little lobby and over-

flowed to the street. One by one

Ba’tiste brought forth the trinkets and

laid them before the thin-faced man.

He forced them into his hands. He

demanded that he explain why he had





said nothing of their presence in the"





lonely cabin, when "he had knowu





‘them, every one, from having seen





them time after time in the home of

Renaud. The afternoon grew old. The

sheriff arrived,——and still the cbntest

went one. Then, with a sudden shift-

ing of the head, a sudden break of re-

serve, Thayer leaned forward and

rubbed his gnarled hands, one against

the other.





“Al right!” he snapped. “Have it

your way. No use in trying tolay it

on the woman—you could prove an





alibi for her. You’re right. I killed

them both.”

“Both?” They stared at him. Thay-





er nodded, still looking at the floor,

his tongue licking suddenly dry lips.





“Yeh, both of ’em. One brought on

the other. Mrs. Renaud and John

Corbin—~they cafled him Tom Langdon

A pause. At last:

pany as superintendent. I had occu<

twenty years, beginning with it when

it was first started by Mr. Houston of

Boston, Is that right?”



A nod from the accused. Houston

went on:



“ ‘I figured from the first that I was





going to be taken in partnership With _

Mr. Houston, although nothing ever ,





was said about it. I just took if for

money, but hoped that Mr. Houston





would let mehave the mill and acre-'





age on some sort of a payment basis.

I went back to see him about it a

couple of times, but he wouldn’t listen

to me. He said that he wanted to

either close the thing out for cash or

keep on running it in the hope of

making something of it.’ That’s all-

right, isn’t it, Thayer?”

“Yes. Except about Langdon.-

' uncle had sent him out to straighten

him up But I don’t guess it makes

much difference” ' , .



Houston, nevertheless, made the

changes, glancing up once to assure

himself that Medaine still was there.

She had not left his side. He went on

with the reading: ‘



“ ‘By this time, the mill had gotten

to he a sort of mania with me, and I

almost had myself believing that Hous-



' ton had promised me more than he

had given me. Then, a woman came

out here, an Agnes Jierdon, ~a steno-

grapher, on her vacation. I met her

and learned that she was from Bos-

ton.”’ A slight pressure exerted itself

on H, ton’s arm. He glanced down

to: _,see Medaine Robinette’ s hand,

clasped tight. “ ‘She spent nearly the

whole summer here, and I made love

~to her. I asked her to marry me, and

shetold me that she would. She was

really very much in love with me. I

didn’t care about her—~I was working

for a purpose. I wanted to use her—-

to get her in Houston’s office. I wanted

to find out what was going on, so that

I would know in advance, and so that

I could prepare for it by having break-

age at the mill, to stop contracts and

run things farther down than ever, so

the old man would get disgusted and

sell outat my terms. Iknew there



, 'Would be a mint of money for me if I

end of her vacation she went back to



Boston and got a job with Houston,



as an office clerk. Almost the first



thing that she wrote me was that the

old" man was thinking about selling

out to some concern back East.’ ”



Houston looked toward the accused

man for his confirmation, then con-

tinued.





“ ‘While she had been out here, I

had told her that Houston had prom-

ised to take me into partnership and

that he had gone back on his word.

I put it up to her pretty strong about

how I had been tricked into working

for him for years, and she was sym-

pathetic with me, of course, inasmuch

as she was in love with me. Naturally,

whenrshe heard this, she wrote me

right away. It made me desperate.

Then I thought of Ba’tiste Renaud."”





“Ah” The word was accompanied

by a sharp intake of breath as the

big French-Canadian moved closer to

hear again the story of a murder. But





the sheriff motioned him back. The.





emotions of the old trapper were not

to be trusted. The recital went on:





“ ‘Everybody around this country

had always talked about how rich he

was; There was a saying that he

didn’t believe in banks and that he‘

kept more than a hundred thousand

dollars in his little cabin. At this

time, both he and his son were away

at War, and I thought I could steal this

money, place, it in other1‘hands, and

then work things so that if I did get

“1315111113!” ’ ‘



“Easy, Ba’tisteg. That’s the way you

gave it to me, isn’t it, Thayer?”



“Yes. I shot twice at her. The first

bullet missed.” ‘





Again the door. of the tiny lobby

opened and closed, and a form edged

forward ,e—Blackburn, summoned from

his mill. Thayer glanced at him, then

Houston made the

additional notation on the confession

and went back to his reading:





“ ‘When I found the deed box, there

was only ten thousand dellars in it in-

stead of- the fortune that I had sup-

posed was there. I was about to take

it outand stuff it into my pockets,

when I heard a noise outside the win-

dow.’ Thinking it was Renaud’s wolf-

dog, and that he might give the alarm,

I pushed the box under my coat and

ran out the back door. The next day,

Corbin—or Langdon—come to me and

demanded his share of what I had

stolen. He said that he had seen me

at the deed box after I had killed the

woman, that’he had made the noise

outside the window.

denying it all. But it wasn’t any use.

At first he threatened that he would





, go to the sheriff at Montview, and for ,





several days he came to me, telling me

that this was the last chance that he

would give me if I didn’t let him have

his share. I played him for time. Then

he begun to beg small amounts of

money from me, promising to keep

still if I gave them to him. I. guess

this kept up for two or three months,

the amounts getting larger all the

time. At last, I wouldn’t stand it any

longer. He threatened me again,—

and then, suddenly, one day disap-

peared. I hurried to Montview, think-

ing of course that he had gone-there,

hoping to catch him on the way. But

on one had seen him. Then I went to

Tabernacle and learned that he had

bought a ticket for Boston, ahd that

he had left on a morning train. I knew

what was up then; he was going back

to tell Old Man Houston and try to

step into my shoes when I was arrest-

ed. ' But I beat him there by going

over the range in an automobile, and

taking an earlier train for Boston. I

picked him up when he arrived and

trailed him to young Houston’s office.

After that I saw them go to a cafe,

and from there to a prize fight. I

bought a ticket and watched them

from the rear of the hall. I had my

gun with me—I had made up my mind

to kill them both. I thought Langdon

had told. After the fight, they started

out, myself in the rear. Young Hous-

ton had gotten a mallet from the time-

keeper. On the way home, I could

hear them talking, and heard Heuston

asking Langdon why he wanted to see

the old man. By. that I knew that it

hadn’t been told yet—and I felt safer.

Then they got in a quarrel, and my

chance came. It was over the mallet

-—-Langdon took. it away from his

cousin and started to fight him, Housé

ton ran. When he was well out of

sight, I went forward. No one was

near. Langdon still had the mallet in

his hand. I crept up behind him and

clubbed my revolver, hitting him on

the head with it. ' He fell—dead—and

I knew I was safe, that Houston would

be accused ’ "





Barly looked earnestly at the man

before him.



““That’s all true, isn’t it, Thayer?”



“I haven’t made any objection, have

I?” came surlily.

When you cook on a Florence

Then, when the clear blue flame

This means quick, inexpensive

The clean, gas-like flame is

This stove is sturdy, and is

It has many refinements you

will appreciate, such as the de-

vice for setting the stove level

on an uneven floor and the light

Your kitchen can be made as

attraétive as any other room in

tion did continue in its follies, did-we

not know many people of— our own day.

For idolatry is not necessiarily falling

doWn before a metal image. It is put—

.ting any thing before GOd. {Thou

shalt have no other gods before me.”

That the worship of idols has not





passed away is apparent to any one_





who will look over the figures for lux-

uries spent any year, as against the

money spent for religion,.education,

charity. Atthe ‘time of the death of

Mrs. Hetty Green, she was reported to

haVe left to her son and daughter one

hundred million‘ dollars. The Same

month a negro mammy who had

worked in the same family 'for fifty

years, died at the age of eighty—nine.

She left the savings of a. life time,

$2,300, to two negro schools, for the

improvement of her race. Which'of

these two American women showed

the less idolatry? ' I 4 .





In the seventeenth chapter of II

Wodehouse, $2.00—Geo H. Doran, New

The author of “Mostly Sally,” the

English humorist, has written another

explosively humorous story. If you

like rollicking and supremely ridicu-

lously rich and clean humor, you must

not fail to read this book and then,

too, the hero of the story is a most

interesting character study. ‘





 





LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE.—

By Joseph H. Appel, $2.004Robert

McBride. Co., New York—- City.



If you want to live life more fully,

to do more, to know more, to grow and

be more, you cannot mistake this vol-

ume as the best possible guide. Liv-

ing The Creative Life is not merely a

guide to material success, but to the

richer life which involves our well

being. '



The author is what we might term a

hard headed business man, since he

has been for twenty years one of the

managers of a'large department store.



Among its interesting chapters are:

Finding the Creative Power in Man;

First Steps Toward Efficiency; Fail-

ure of Efficiency; The Beginning of

Creative Life; Understanding, Action,

Endurance; Hospitality, Carefulness,

Thoroughness, Concentration, .Obser-

vation, Reading and Study, Intuition,

ed and waited for a fish to come along

and ’bite it. But \no fish came, not

even» one nibbled it. ~



“It I was only out on the next big

stone,” thought Bruin, “I could catch

a big fish there. But it’s farther than

I can step. I’ll just get a *log and

make a little bridge.” ’ .



So he climbed back to the. shore,

got ‘a piece 'of an old log. and placedkit ~

between the two stones. Soon he was

out on that farthest.stone where he

could fish way out inthe middle of

the creek. ' ‘ .



Then, “Whee—ee—ee—ew.” Down





that Bruin thought a whale was hit-

ting his hook. He pulled and pulled

on the pole. Oh, how hard he pulled!

’ “Oh, ho, I have a big one this time.

My, won’t Rolly Rabbit be surprised,”

said Bruin. “He’ll make a fine supper

for us,” and Bruin kept on pulling.



_Now thebig fish was just at the top

of the water. Bruin was so excited

thinking what' a big one he was, what

a nice supper he would make, and how

surprised Rolly Would be, that he for-

got to be careful. His foot slipped and

kerplunk! went Bruin into the water.

What a splash! Water was in his

eyes, in his ears, in his pockets, in

fact he was just soaked.



He went scrambling up the bank,

water dripping at every step. He

shook himself and‘rubbed the water

out of his eyes just in time to see the

big fish, pole, line and all drifting

right out into the big lake. '



“Oh, there goes my pretty new red

bobber,” said Bruin, “ and just look at

my clean overalls. I guess this is

what I get for counting my chickens

before they are hatched.”



He went limping back to the house

with some very wet clothes and with

a resolution to be more careful when

he went fishing again.

KE‘EP EATS c001.- IN SUMMER

Will you please tell me how to make

an iceless regrigerator?—L. F.





An iceleSS refrigerator depends for

its efficiency on the cooling effect of

evaporating water. An open frame:

ll work of shelves is surrounded by a



cloth kept moist by means of a large

pan of water on the top. A good cur-

rent of air to evaporate the water is

essential. The refrigerator will work

wherever the cloth will dry readily,

but it must be kept in a shady place

since a low temperature is the main

l object.



Make a strong set of shelves open

on four sides with a solid top and bot-

tom. Raise it on short legs. Screen

ing to allow freer circulation ‘of air.



Cover the four sides entirely with

canton flannel, smooth side .,out but-

toning it closely to the frame. It will

be necessary to unbutton and button

this flap when opening the case. Make

buttonholes- in. the Iliannel covering

corresponding to the buttons on the

case. Around the top of the covering

sew four flaps of canton flannel a little

narrower than each side of the case

and large enough to extend up ever

the top and dip into the pan of water.

These will serve as wicks to keep the

entire surface of the flannel moist. If





the refrigerator is to be set on the





porch, a pan must be placed under—

neath the refrigerator to catch the

Water that drips down. '



An extra flannel covering should be

made for the case so that one may be

washed each week.



It is well to paint the case with ena-

mel paint. A non-rusting wire must

be used for the sc1eening.

seated. Wise is the mother who sees to it that her children attend only

the movies that give to the child constructive ideas and impressions and

who directs his reading toward wholesome channels that will deepen his

insight into life.



To help the child in overcoming any abnormal fear, we must keep his

body fit. A healthy body makes for mental as well as physical resistence.

Fatigue, malnutrition and physical defects each have their part in weaken-

ing the nervous system. Often a warm bath and a glass of milk will pre-

vent the development of acute stages of abnormal fear.



Normal everyday living is undoubtedly an influential ‘agent in expelling

morbid fear. If the child is not deCeived by bogey men, goblins and

’ghosts and other monsters, and en10ys the, thrill of success in his, work



~ and play, he will develop a‘confidenCe in himself. Nourish a child s.trust—

. fulness in life, and Y9“ build a foundation to fortify him against abnormal

fear.

32-36 hours of smokeless, odorless

heat from a gallon of kerosene





to burn out and fall into the burner.

If kettle boils over, the liquid can’t get

into the burner and choke the flame.

The Vapo burner is guaranteed for the

life of the stove. Vapo heat does not

smart the eyes nor soot up utensils.





Vapo is to the ordinary oil stove what

the electric light is to the candle. It

solves every cooking problem. You can

bake, roast, boil, fry or stew with a

Vapo. Everywhere, people proclaim it

the cleanest, most convenient, most

beautiful oil range ever seen. At state

fairs thousands saw it pass tests out of

the question for ordinary oil stoves.

Any Vapo will duplicate these tests.





Bake slow and fast at same

time in 8010 oven





Adjustable Bolo plate makes oven big

or little as you wish. It concentrates the

heat and gives you two ovens in one.

Odors from one oven do not permeate

the other oven. Perfect ventilation in-

sures light baking and pastry. Vapo is

the only oil range with the built-in

Bolo oven. You can have right: or left

hand oven. Ask dealer to show you Vapo.

CHICK FEEDING HINTS.





This is baby chick season. W'ith

commercial hatcheries running to full

capacity, millions of chicks are going

out to commercial poultrymen and

farmers.



We are taking this opportunity of

drawing to your attention the import:

ance of vitamine rich foods and miner-

al matter for your growing 'chicks.

Two per .cent ground limestone or

pure calcium, carbonate will aid mate-

rially in supplying this element often

found lacking. Canned tomatoes used

to moisten one mash a day will aid

when green feed is scarce. Leg weak-

ness is often the result of a deficiency

in diet. Cod Liver Oil used to the

extent of two per cent of the ration

will often correct this deficiency. This

may be mixed into the dry mash.





 





 





 





FERTILITY OF. DUCK EGGS.





‘ How long after one mating will duck

eggs hatch, and how long after mat-p

ing before they are fertile? My neigh-

._bor and I are trying to get along with

the same drake and we were wonder-

ing how often we should put the drake

with the hens. We only have five

hens between us.——Mrs. G. F. F.





The production of fertile eggs might

continue from several days to two

weeks after mating. The time will

vary with the individuality of the

birds. I think the eggs will Show a

fair per cent of fertility if the drake

is changed from one flock to another

every six or seven days. However,

.this method of frequently changing the

mating is seldom practiced, but it

might be successful. ~ ‘

Cause of White Diarrhea





White Diarrhea is caused by the Bac-

illus Bacterium Puliorum. 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 inkcted chicks- Don’t let

these few. infect yourentire flock. Pre—

vent it, Give Walko in all drinking

water for the first two weeks and you

won’t lose one chick where you lost

hundreds before. These letters prove it:





 





NeVer Lost a Single Chick





Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

Ind., writes: “I have lost my share. of

chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally

I sent for two packages of Walko. I

raised over 500 chicks and Islnever 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.” __ .





 





N ever Lost One After First Dose





Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shennandoah,

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, whenbut a few days old, began





to die by the dozens with White Diar-

rhea. I tried different remedies and

was about discouraged with the chick-

en business‘. Finally, I sent to the

Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo, Iowa,

for a box of their Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing

for this terrible disease. We raised

700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never

lost a. single chick after the first dose."





You Run No Risk





We will send Walko White Diar-

rhea. Remedy entirely at our risk

~postage prepaid—so you can see for

yourself what a. wonder-working rem-

edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby





chicks. So you can prove—as thou-

sands have proven—that it will stop

your losses and double, treble, even

quadruple your profits. Send 500 for

package of Waiko~give it in all drink-

ing water for the first two weeks and

watch results. You’ll find you won’t

lose one chick where you lost hundreds

before. It’s a positive fact. We guar—

antee it. The Leavitt & Johnson Na-

tional Bank, the oldest and strongest

bank in Waterloo, Iowa, stands back

of this guarantee. You run no risk.

If you don’t find it the greatest little-

chick saver you ever used, your money

will be instantly refunded.

Thus started his





without misfortune.-

. Unfamiliar with the tastes and

ehabits of the furry. winged creatures,





he did not give them the proper’ care





or food, and. during the winter the en-

tire swalrm, undernourished. succumb-





- ed to the cold.





But in the spring he chanced upon

another swarm in an apple tree. He

transferred it to the same patent hive

This

time he determined to let nothing

keep him from success. He bought

five more swarms and a book on bee-





keeping, and began to study the art





in earnest.

The Swarms Increase.



After the disastrous winter of 1920-1,

Gerald had no serious setback; By

the’spring of 1923 the six swarms had

increased to 14 and now there are 27.

In 1922 the bees produced about 400

pounds of honey, and in 1923 they pro-

duced 2,750 pounds. He sold his honey

last fall for 25 cents a pound, or a

gross return of $687.50. He figures the

cost of production, exclusive of labor,

at 8 cents a pound, or a. total of $220.

His labor, figured at 50 cents an hour,

was worth $53. 50.



Including labor, his total cost was

$273.50, leaving a net profit of $414

for what he terms his “summer plea-

sure.” The bees and supplies cost him

$507.75. His profit, therefore, was

about 70 per cent. .



Gerald is now 18 and a senior in

Chesaning high school. At the second

annual community fair and institute,

his exhibit of bee equipment and

honey was one of the features.



—-MILLS.





BLOOD CLOTS ON YOLKS.





Our hens’ eggs have small blood

spots on yolks. What is the cause and

the remedy—A. E



Blood clots on the yolk of eggs result

from the clot becoming attached to

the yolk when it passes through the

oviduct. Later it is surrounded by a1-

bumen. It most often occurs when

pullets are starting to lay or during

the spring when production is heavy.

Flocks that are heavily forced with

concentrated feeds are apt to produce

the largest per cent of eggs with the

blod clots on the yolks.



The only remedy is to candle the

eggs if they are being shipped to a.

high class trade. Then all the eggs

with clots can be removed and used at

home or sold to a. trade that will pay

less money per dozen, but not discrim-

inate against the clots. When the

clots are removed, of course the eggs

appear normal and are alright to use.

The most unfortunate factor in this

trouble is the fact that inexperienced

buyers may think they are receiving

partly hatched eggs when the poultry-

man is not to blame for the condition.





FEEDING BUCKWHEAT.





Is buckwheat recommendable as





chicken feed?



We are living in a part of Michigan

where the raising of corn is not al-

ways succes'sful but buckwheat genei-

ally is. The Iaising of chickens is

profitable in this locality But We are

often handicapped for feed. —G. G. H.





Poultrymen do not generally consid-

er buckwheat a good poultry feed. Be-

cause of the black woody hulls this

grain does not seem 'appetizing to

hens. It contains a lot of indigestible

fiber. Buckwheat is low in mineral

although it contains some heat and

energy. If you have home raised buck-

wheat it might be used as ten. per

cent of the scratch ration if your

birds appear to like it. But I think

it will pay you best to sell the buck-

wheat and buy wheat and corn which

are more economical producers of eggs

and better liked byvthe hens.

Byv'Laugire Spider. :, j , ' .~1





'N' May 1920, about seven of 5 the.





girls of North Canton Community



organized a club known as the

Clover Leaf Canning Club. We held

our meeting'every two weeks at the

home of some member of the club.

At these meetings, we. discussed our

work and sometimes'had 'demOnstra-

tions given by some member or by the

Wayne County Home Demonstration

Agent who with the County Club Lead-

er‘attended our meetings occasionally.





 





Louise Spicer.

About the only form of recreation en-

joyed that year, aside from the regular

meetings, was a Fourth of July picnic

at a. lake.



At the time of the Wayne County

Fair, all contributed to a. club exhibit

from which each received several priz-

es. During the week of the Fair, at

least one member stayed in the booth

to answer any questions which the

public might wish to ask. At the end

of the season’s work, all finished the

project by making out a report and

story of their year’s work and exper-

iences.





At the County Round-up I received

County Championship, having canned

four hundred seventeen and one half

quarts of fruits, vegetables, meats,

jellies, jams and. pickles. This champ-

ionship gave me a free trip to M. A. C.

during Club Week the following sum-

mer,

received State Championship which

gave me a scholarship at M. A. C.





In June 1921, we again organized a

club known as the Blue Bird Cooking

Club. At each meeting of the club two

girls gave a demonstration on the les«

son we were to work on at that time.

That year our local leaders took us to

a. cottage at the lake where we spent

a few days. ‘ During the time we were

there the girls did all of the work,

each girl having a certain part to do

each day. '





At Fair "time, we had a. demonstra-

tion team consisting of three girls

who gave demonstrations at both the

State and County Fairs. They demon

strated how to use junket as a des-

sert,‘ and how to make Marshmallow

Tapioca Cream, and cottage cheese

sausages. Judging from the number

of people around the booth at great

many seemed very much interested.





That year four out of six of the mem-

bers finished the project and our club

again achieved something worth while.

Clara Hank, one of the members, won

both County‘and State Championship

which also meant a. free trip to M. A.

C. and a. scholarship there.



In June 1922, we again reorganized





 





Later I learned that I had also





our cooking club and took up second





year work. That year we held our





meetings and had demonstratiOns the.





same as the year before. We again

enjoyed a few day’s camping trip at

our local leader’s cottage following the





same pianused the‘year’ before. At-





fair time, we again had a. demonstra-





tion team consisting of two members





who demonstrated Baking Povvder Bis-

cuit Dough and its; variations at both

the State and County Fairs. That year

We also entered baked goods in the

open class for women at both Fairs.





Everything entered at the State

Fairreceived a. prize and nearly every-

thing entered at the County Fair re-

c‘eived a prize. Out 'of seven members

five finished the project and our club

was again successful. Clara. Hank

again won the County and State

Championship gave her the usual Ifree

trip‘to M. A. C. club week, the State

Championship meant only the honor

for her and the Club as a. scholarship

Having won, through my canning

work, the trip to M. A. C. during club





week I home so much interested in: _ '

I have, rather than miss this annual . 0





event, taken the trip by driving my

Club Leader in taking Wayne County

Champions. ‘ .' » . ,



I hope to finish high school next

year and start in school at M. A. C.

the following year.



Besides the certificate of achieve-

ments and other individual prizes won,

by each member, I know we have all

learned a great deal about canning

and cooking, which besides the exper-r

ience in organization work will prove-

of great value to us in later years. ,

‘DUR LETTER Box :





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



. I have been reading the club exper-

iences of other boys and girls so I’ll

tell some of mine. Our canning club

sent three teams to contest for the

trip to the Mich. State Fair at Detroit

from our county and a. girl friend of

mine and I won the trip. We had just

loads of fun. We met Miss Robb

while we were‘there. Each member-

of our club took a dozen jars of fruit

and vegetables (mixed) to the county

fair, I got second prize, six dollars for

mine. I was sure tickled.———Your

would-beniece, Mildred Jutkins, Grand

Junction, Mich., Van Buren County.





The next time you come to Detroit

you should call and see' us. Of Course,

I know you were kept quite busy

while at thé fair.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have a suggestion to put before

the M. 0’5. and you, of course. Why

couldn’t each M. C. give a. small sum

of money and buy some better M. 0.

pins? It would only be a. small cost

to each one as there are so many M.

C’s—Your Niece, Elaine Schug, M. C.,

Schoolcraft, Michigan.



I would like better pins too, especi-

ally the kind that won’t be lost. I am

thinking of a plan whereby the M. C’s.

can win better pins.





 





Dear Uncle Frank: _



There are six M. C’s. in this locality

and we are planning to make a club

house and have a “treasury,” etc.



Say, Uncle Frank, why don’t we

have a joke contest?—From another

Nephew, Frank Kaniarz, M. C. Pellston,

Mich., R. 1, Box 30.





I am glad the M. C’s. in yourneigh-

borhood are going to get together.

Perhaps next fall I will have plans

for the organization of local clubs.





 





Dear Uncle Frank: .



Say, Uncle Frank, what do you

think of chain prayers? I’ve received

two this winter. I didn’t answer

them though. I think it just a. waste

of time and money to send them. Well,

as my letter is getting long I’ll close.

——Zetta Graves, M. C., Billings, Mich.



I agree with you about chain pray-

ers and letters. I dOn’t like the

threats they make if youdon’t send

outhyour allotment of letters. Such

threats do not come true.





 





Dear UncleAFrank: ‘

V Say, Uncle Frank, when are you

going to fix it so we can‘form branch

clubs? There are quite a. few girls





around here who are willing to join.-

If We were to have a. club could we

call it, “M. 0. Branch Club No. 1?”

And wouldiwe have to pay dues?





I hope Mr. W. B. isn’t hungry now.

Well I will close.-——Your niece, Elaine

Markey, Bay City, Mich, Route 4.



I think local clubs will make the M.

C. much more valuable. I am not sure

as to whether we should.ha.ve.mixed'.

clubs or separate clubs of girls and

boys. What do the M. C’s. think?





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





We are just having our first snow I





storm this month" (March), and 'the





wind blew so hard that it blew our,





silo over, and took the top over the

barn. -It was built ten years ago and

my father’s father got up on the silo.

and put a ball on the top when he was

seventy-nine years old.





The people around here got their

cars out on the twenty-seventh and

twenty-eighth and had to put them

back the twenty-nine of March because

a. snow storm came. I will close.—

Wayne Van Camp, M. 0., Rapid City,

Mich., R. No. 2.



Your grandfather did quite a. stunt

for a man of his age. These unusual

snowstorms are rather discouraging,

aren’t they?

ation no . less than ninetyvtwo bills, each proposing to

further restrict Railroad activities. ‘





4’80 Wide is the scope of this proposed legislation, and

so serious are many of its threats, that the Railroads

IGHPRICED labor and expensive

feeds are new factors in the

dairy problem. Labor is ‘not





than elsewhere in the state. But grain

and roughage bring considerably high-

er prices; except where hay is grown

in excess of.the local demand, and

must be shipped out.

ities, hay isoften very cheap.

Relatively high "prices of grain are

due to cost of transportation over~long

hauls. When one receives. a. car of

feed with a freight charge of any-

where from three dollars to ten dol-

lars per ton, he realizes whatcost of

transportation means, both to the

shipper and the ultimate buyer. How‘

ever; the greatest reasOn for the gen-

erally high price of dairy feeds, may

be found in’the fact that the demand

increaSes much faster than the supply.





The greatest increase in the volume

of feed stuffs, within the past three

or four decades, has come by way of

certain byproducts, once of little or

no value, but now eagerly sought after.

The time when bran from the great

western mills, was thrown away be-

cause it was not worth the freight

charge to points where it could be fed,

and when cottonseed rotted in great

piles because the public was ignorant

of its value, is easily within the mem-

ory ‘of many of the readers of this

paper.



Today conditions are very different.

Every ton of by-products resulting

from the manufacture of flour, linseed

oil, cottonseed oil, and peanut prod-

ucts, finds a ready market, and the

supply is not sufficient to meet the

demand. The manufacture of beet

sugar has also added large quantities

of feed to the sum total. This, too,

is in great demand, and the quantity

is much less than is desired.





But what has built this big demand

for dairy feeds? Why has bran re-

tailed around thirty-five dollars a ton,

all summer? Why are the best of the

prepared dairy feeds selling now at

from fifty-five to sixty dollars a. ton?

As «we haVe said before, the cost of

transportation is a. largefactor, but

the chief reason may be found in the

change in practices of feeding.





Probably, not one man in ten fed

his cows grain regularly during the

wint(1',fo11y years ago, and not one

in a. hundred fed a. balanced ration

Less than twenty—five years ago, the





 





port 01' the state Roundup Institute,

a paper on feeding the dairy cow. The

writer read dairy literature then with

ms much interest as now, but looking

; back, over those years, that number of

’the Michigan Farmer shines as light

iiin a dark place. Within the past two

idecades, an intensive campaign of

dairy education, has been carried on,

and the change in methods of feeding

has amounted almost to a revolution

ment in this particular incident is

quite as evident as in. the dairy field,

and the direct tendency is .to sustain

and stimulate the prices of feed. '





What is the best ‘course for the

dairyman in northern Michigan to puré

sue? In our~judgment, there is but

one thing for him to do.. He must

feed more, and if- possible, better

roughage. Sweet clover, alfalfa and

soy beans, with good ensilage, will go

far towards solving the problem. The

farmer of the north cannot afford to

raise hay, and pay high freight charg-

es to distant terminal markets. He

cannot afford to raise feeders to sell

at nominal prices, nor can he profit-

ably ship in grain with which to fit

these animals for the market—~because

in that case, he must pay the freight

both ways. But he can afford to grow

good ensilage, alfalfa, sweet, clover

and soy beans, and a-lsike clover on

the lower lands, to feed to good dairy

cows, provided, his farm is not too

large.



It is high time that dairy writers

and speakers gave more emphasis to

roughage.



These are the . conditions toward

which dairying and poultry-keeping

are both tending; and it is high time,

that the poultry'men and dairymen

should stop, and, in the language of





our good old freind, the late George B. _





Horton, “Take a. broad, general sur-

vey of the field.”——W. F. Taylor.





 





JUDGING COWS WITH THE EYE.





 





NEW line of investigation is be-



ing undertaken by the dairy divis-

ion of the department of agriculture.

A study of the relation of the outward

appearance of the dairy cow to her

production is now being made. Scien-

tific data will. be gathered to deter-

mine, if possible, whether the appear-

ance' of an animal has any relation to

production.





A light application of sodium nitrate

at the rate of one pound for every one

thousand square feet applied once a

week all summer and early fall, will

greatly improve the beauty of the

lawn. This application can be made

by dissolving'the nitrate Of soda in

water and applying with a. sprinkling

The report of this association shows

the need of better dairy practices in

the territory covered. A11 improve-

ment will be seen in the near future

as there has been added several

Guernsey and Holstein bulls of excel-

lent breeding. Throughout the testA

ing year there has been an improve-

mentsin feeding practices, more inter-

est in alfalfa and a demand for the

locating and excavating of marl from

various sources in that region. At the

annual meeting at Edgerton on March

17th,‘the following officers and direc-

tors were elected: President, Fred

Andrus, Cedar Springs; Vice Presi-





Treasurer, Glenn Davis, Rockford.

Maurice Post. and Ora Young of Rock-

ford, directors. Herbert Hansen of

Big Rapids who did the testing the

last five months of the past year has

been retained on the job for the com-

A small pen called of “lamb creep”V

should be constructed in a convenient

with a small Opening just large enough

for the lambs to pass in and out, but

too small to admit even the smallest

evve in the flock. A low trough with

slats across to prevent the lambs from

getting into the trough and spoiling,

the feed should be constructed. I bad

if this trough is built eight inches at-

the bottom and a foot at the top and

mounted on cross pieces up ten inches

from the floor the lambs find it con-

venient to get the feed, and it keeps

clean and wholesome.





Nursing lambs possess delicate ap-

petites and any food placed before

them should be sweet, palatable and

easy to digest. My experience has

been that wheat bran should constii

tute the base of the 1ation for grow-

ing lambs I compound a ration of

three palts bran, two parts finely

ground oats and a one pound of oil

meal to ten pounds of the course feed .



The feed should be kept constantly

in easy lfiach of the lambs. As soon

as the lambs discover that the feed

is there available to them at any time,

there is very little danger cf th'eir

over eating. They will visit the creep

f1 equently and eat only a small amount

at a. time thereby eliminating the dan-

ger of indigestion. —-Leo Q. Reynolds.





 





MUSKRAT FARMING HAS A

time that spellsapparent progress. It

is good to find the best sort of animal

husbandry for muskrats and to con-

duct muskrat estates on as scientific

plan. This is what Mr. Ashbrook hopes

to see and it is why h is making a

study of the industry. In this way

marshes, ponds, and lakes already

yielding profits in muskrat furs will

make fortunes for the owners and

trappers.





In Mr. Ashbrook’s office is a map of



the United States marking the homes

of muskrats and the homes that will

be theirs in the future if the fur trade

continues to rise by the support of the

marsh rodents. It indicates the mar-

velous possibilities in the muskrat fur

industry. This industry is first a kind

of farming, a. business of trapping ani-

mals six weeks of the year and leav-

ing ten and a half months.) Like most

farming it is a good field fbr the aver-

age man as well as the industrial At-

las, and that is how from three mil-

lion muskrat pelts have quietly found

their way this past year to the fur

market, and how the marshlands are

gradually making their, owners

Green Mountains are all late varieties.



:The Russet Rural and White Rural

have practically the» same characters

of growth and limits 70f adaptation.

These two are the most important

varieties in the Lower Peninsula. They

withstand droughts quite well and are

as immune to insect and disease

troubles as any other varieties. The

Russet Rural p’roduces' at its best on

the light loam soils. Where, when

grown and harvested under good 00n-

ditions, its quality is good and its color

a bright russet. On the heavier soil

its color is apt to be dark and for this

reason on heavy soils it should be sur-

planted by the White Rural which is

a smooth white skinned potato.



The Green. Mountain thri‘ves best in

the Upper Peninsula where the grow-

ing sea'son is cool and moist. It does

not withstand drought and insect in-

jury as well as the Rural types and

is therefore not well adapted to most

sections of the Lower Peninsula where :

droughts are of frequent occurrence.



The Early Ohio and Irish Cobbler

are early varieties that can be grown

profitably near good markets where

the potatoes can be sold during July

and August. In the northern sections

of the state there is an opportunity in

producing certified seed of these kinds.

Both 'varieties require fertile loamy

soil that contains plenty of organic

matter. They are very susceptible to '

leaf hopper injury and must be spray-

ed thoroughly. The lrish Cobbler has

a. somewhat wider limits pdaptation

WHEAT





Wheat prices lost part of the recent

advance and fluctuated within narrow

limits in the last few days with some

indications of resuming an upward

trend. Numerous conflicting influ~

ences are at work and until one or

the other of these assumes a dominant

position the market is not apt to show



, a decisive trend either way. Although

growing weather shows up the bad

spots in the new crop in stronger re-

lief, no fresh damage of consequence

is being reported. Abandonment has





been heavy in parts of the Ohio River'





Valley but Kansas reports a loss of

only 4.2 per cent. Hessian fly infests

about 17 per cent of the area in that

state. The spring wheat belt is in

good shape but most of it is beginning

to need rain. European crop condi-

tions are not as good as a year ago

but seems to be improving. Indica-

tions of reduced acreage for the next

crop in Australia are reported. India’s

crop recently harvested is estimated

at about 10 per cent less than last

year. Canada’s crop is getting started

a little later than in 1923. Semi-fam-

ine is again reported in Russia. In

general, the coming world crop looks

smaller than that of 1923 and the

world carryover of wheat on August

1, although heavy, will not be as large

as seemed probable six or eight

months ago. World demand in the

next crop year should'be as broad as

in the present year. If this proves to

be the case, prices should average

higher in the next twelve months than

in the last twelve and the approach of

the new harvest should not cause as

much weakness as it usually does.





CORN





Corn is still moving from terminal

markets in rather heavy volume but

the after—planting run of corn will soon

start, demand is rather slow, eastern

dairy districts are buying little, com-

petitive feed prices are low, exports

are falling off and are lighter than last

year while consumption by hogs,

which, in the long run, is the main

factor in determining corn prices, is

declining. A reversal of some of these

tendencies may occur during the sum-

mer, but if they continue as they are

-’ now going, they will prevent as much



' of an advance in corn prices in the

',"";next three monts as usually occurs



natthat time. Argentina's crop just

_ harvested is estimated officially at





274,000,000 bushels, the largest on rec-





 





I





stocks.





1





Argentine clearances of





become heavy already.

. OATS _ _



Oats prices are fairly stable as the

demand is broad enough to absorb the

receipts and~draw upon the terminal

New crop prospects are not

well, defined " but sweet the seeding

was late. Acreage seems tohave been.

inereased, however. \ ‘ .





_ SEEDS





.Demand for clover- and.grass' seed is

dropping off rapidlyas the sowing "sea-

son is practically over. Prices show

but little change and are slightly

weaker. The demand for alfalfa seed

has improved and is fairly broad in

all sections of the country. Prospects

for the new ‘clover crop. are not es-

pecially favorable.





FEEDS





Most feed markets are inactive, al-

though shipments of wheat feeds from

western markets are larger than last

year. Canadian bran and middlings

are still being offered in the east be-

low domestic prices, and western mar-

kets are also easier.



HAY



Hay markets are irregular, with the

choice grades of timothy hay selling

at prices firm with a week ago, while

alfalfa, clover and prairie are trend-

ing downward as demand is diminish-

ing as it usually does at this season.





BUTTER .





Butter prices regained most of their

recent losses last week as the demand

picked up among dealers whose stocks

were fairly well depleted. The under-

tone was weak, however, and when

the demand fell off toward the close

of the week, prices declined sharply

again. Receipts at the four markets

were heavier than in the previous

week and showed a material gain over

the same a week ago. Reports from





the American Creamery Butter Manu-,





facturers’ Association also indicated

an increase in production. With pros-

pects of an increased output both here

and abroad, it is doubtful if prices

will show material advances from the

present level. Prevailing prices of do-

mestic butter have checked the buying

of foreign butter. _



Prices on 92—score creamery were:

Chicago 36‘1/2c; New York 37c. In De-

troit fresh creamery in tubs sells for

36%0 per pound.

‘ ; POTATOES '





Potato prices declined last week

with northern round whites reaching

$1.10@1.25 per 100 pounds sacked, and

$1.15@1.‘30 in bulk in the Chicago car-

lot market. Carlot shipments have

fallen off about 25 per cent in the last

two weeks as new. potatoes are not

coming forward fast enough to make

up for the lighter movement of old

potatOes. Shipments of ’new potatoes

have not been delayed as much by

cold- weather as expected, however.





APPLES





Apple markets have declined rather

sharply, especially on barreled stock.

Storage holdings as of April 1 amount-

ed to $3,200 cars more of barreled ap-

ples and 3,350 cars more of boxed

stock than a year ago in addition to

1,000 cars of bushel baskets. Total

holdings were about twice the five-year

average for that date. The prospect

for cleaning up before new apples be-

comeavailable looks rather'discourag-

ing and dealers have been pushing

their holdings on the market. New

York Baldwins are quoted at 2.75@4

a barrel in eastern markets, w ile the

midwe‘stern Northern Spiesare bring-

ing $5@5.50. Baldwins $3.75@4.25;

was quite active. The demand for

parsnips and carrots was strong and

demand. Potatoes had a. moderate

movement at 80@85c a bushel, and

apples were fair sellers. Sorrel sold

readily at $2.50@3 a bushel, but dan-

Our Pride I Mark Protectsf j Yaw





The thought in our mind-is this:





HAT there are many people in the State of

Michigan who have been attracted ‘to the



Fox business by the many undoubted successes

achieved in raising Silver Black Foxes as breed-

ing animals; yet, who have refrained from en-

tering the field owing to certain elements of~

instability and uncertainty that heretofore have

been more or less exitent in the industry.—Such





that is constantly enlargingits scope. ‘





men of sober judgement have realized that the _





production of high grade breeding animals is

a specialized business and requires both natur-

al aptitude and practical experience, and that

in order to carry on production of such breed-

ing stock needs a well balanced organiza-

tion, capable of producing a super grade of

breeding stock allied to a strong and efficient

sales organization.





To such as these—the Detroit Silver Fox

Farms present a solution of the problem. Here

is a strong cOmpany—well financed—with: a_

wealth of practical experience in, breeding

foxes,——producing the highest 'quality “Stock-’—

and having also the all important sales organ-

ization—built upon modern merchandising

methods. v.





This company’s campaign of dignifiedand

intelligent advertising copy has already to Some

extent revolutionized the Fox breeding indus-

organization have available every angle of the

service this company has built up. I It will crys-

tallize his wish» to participate in this very

profitable enterprise by eliminating eVery ele-

ment of doubt and uncertainty.“ - . . ‘

Fox breeding offers when the three elements
