CW





PTIMISM was the keynote of

the annual Iowa cattle breeders’

day program Which was held at

IOWa State College on April 22. On-





steers, optimism regarding cost of

feeds, and almost exuberation over the

rising cattle market was expressed on





every hand.





Twelve hundred farmers, many of

them traveling two hundred miles, saw

the seventy Hereford steers that had

been on feed for the past 120 days, in

the morning 'ses‘si’on and'listened to





the talks during the afternoon. Scores.

of farmers asked John M. Evvard and





C. C. Culbertson, who were in charge

of the experiments, innumerable ques-

tions. They all left,'flrm in the con-

viction that the cattle feeding busi-

ness has come out of its slump and

that’it is on its _way to rapid recovery.





The solution of four major cattle

feeding prOblems has been the object

of the experiments this year. They

are: (1) whether or not mineral mix-

tures are valuable for fattening cattle;

(2) the value of oats; (3) the value ‘of

soy-beans, either as a hay or as oil

meal, and (4) the old cattle feeder’s

problem,- ensilage vs. bay.



The only definite answer which'has

been. worked out by this year’s experi-

ments'has been the first: the value of

mineral mixtures for fattening cattle.





The problem of feeding protein sup-

plements came under three general

heads. First, does it pay to feed pro-

Second, is cotton-

seed meal or linseed oil meal the bet-

ter protein supplement? And third,

Growing Big Potato Crops





H Lorenzeiz Give: Hi5 Metflod'of Hand/ing Seed and Planting





N contributing this article on potato



culture, I shall refer mostly to and



cover four points, essential to ob—

taining good potato crops. There is,

perhaps, one drawback to it, and that

is that planting may be impossible by

machine, because only one piece can

be dropped at a time by machine. But

for better seed purposes, hand-work

will come in O. K. The points are as

(1) good seed; (2) -increase

in yield; (3) regulation of size, and

(4) preventing retrogression.



Good Seed.



Good seed potatoes that contain a

good live eye, are needed. The eye is

what does the work. Now, how to tell

and get a good eye. To tell that, you

must green sprout the seed; then you

can pick out all the best and most

prolific eyes.’ All eyes are not good.





* Some are almost dead and are not





sprouted, while others are away ahead.

The dead eyes may sprout some time

after being in the ground, but will not

make good and may only retard the

growth of others. You must have all

live eyes. Tubers from three-to eight

ounces in size should be cut to one

eye in' a piece as large as possible.

The pieces ought not to be smaller





than one and a. quarter’inches in diam-





etch—an , irfch j» piece win do. u it has





a good eye and does not lie too long

before planting. But large pieces are

the best.



Then plant from two to three, or

even four of these pieces to a hill.

PieCes with one living eye, when plant—

ed together will each work separately;

all will come as a general thing, and

produce better than any other way.



The yield will be increased, because

each eye works alone, and will seldom

fail to come, according to my observa-

tion. Each eye will bring from three

to six potatoes; 0-11 the average about

four. In this way there is nothing to

detract from each eye’s growth.



But the other system, where the

eyes are on one piece, one eye detracts

from the other, and in some cases you

have one good eye and one or two

poor ones. The good‘ one comes and

the others, if they come at all, will be

weak and,hinder growth of the good

one. Potatoes from weak eyes never

measure up with those from live eyes.



" Regulation of Size.



I have found by experience that the

single eye method generally brings

more tubers in number, also in weight.

When you have more in number, they

have more chance'to. continue grow-





ing. But with. fewer, they attain their





maximum growth and then“ no more.





The size can be regulated by the

number of eyes put in a hill. This, of

course, would depend upon the fertil-

ity ‘of the soil; two or three would be

about right. The more in a hill, the

smaller per ounce in weight will the

resulting tubers average.



Real large tubers are not practical

or economical. They are generally of

uneven surface, and often hollow,

causing loss thereby and also in peel-

ing. In large hotels they prefer medi-

um" sized tubers.



Retrogression.



Under this system, if it can be car-

ried out to advantage, potatoes will

not retrograde (run out) very soon,

because when for seed you select the

best from the best original stock, you

have a chance to pick the best eyes

from the best potatoes. That is the

only course to follow in propagating

vegetation as well as in breeding live

stock. '



In conclusion, I want to say: That

this article was written mostly to have

those interested in potato culture, re-

gardless of high or low prices, to try

the method out.» in a fair way and

while so doing to always hear in mind

the meaning of what Darwin saidin

his “Origin of Species”-—“Like begets

like, as a general thing; but there are





C





variations.” It is good advice to follow.



Potatoes are often freakish—you

never can tell what you may discover

by applying .a little of the Burbank

observation and practice.



Potato raising is like other business-

es. Nowadays, if you wish to be suc-

cessful in work of selling your product,

you must- have something a little bet-

ter than your competitor. Your good's

must be of good quality and be pre-

sentable to the eye.



There is one mistake prevalent

among farmers; that is, while harvest-

ing their crop of potatoes, they handle

them too roughly and exercise too lit-

tle care in getting them ready for stor-

age and marketing. Everything is‘done

in a hurry-up and careless manner.

Potatoes are often dug before fully

matured and therefore easily become

biuised and are more subject to silt

and rot.



Aside from the one—eye. system of

planting, the next best method is to

plant whole tubers in size from two

and one-half to five ounces in weight,

with the bottom quarter cut off. Some

internal diseases may thereby be de-

tected; also it will eliminate weak and

dead eyes. Whole potatoes

planted usually do well. And there’s

a good reason for it. , ."

CURRENT COMMENT





One of the best times to cultivate

some crops are before they are in the

ground; in other words, well begun is

half done.





Spring is the season of promise.‘ If

we will but fulfill our promises to our

farm, it will fulfill its promises to us.



The largest single factors in the cost

of the production of wheat is man and

horse labor.





The annual spring fever usually

springs from the stomach which rebels

. against a long-continued diet lacking

mineral salts and vitamines.





HE child labor





TheClu'Id amendmentto

L b A the federal constitu-

a or ' tion which proposes

mendment t h a t congress shall





have the powe1 to

limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor

of peisons unde1 eighteen yea1s of

age, has passed the lewer house by a

vote of 297 to 69.



This amendment was opposed by

farm organizations upon the ground

that it would give federal agents un-

limited power over the youth of the

land, and would, as one congressman

put it, “legislate all the youth of this

country into idleness for the first

eighteen years of life." In spite of

this opposition, the friends of this bill

are confident that the required number

of state legislatures will be found to

endorse the proposed amendment to

make it a part of the federal consti—

tution.





It is clear that this proposed addi-

tion to our fundamental law is espe-

cially aimed at the employment of

children on the farms, since an amend-

ment to the proposal exempting chil-

dren on farms and those working in

homes with their mothers, was reject-

ed by a substantial vote. Another

amendment making the provisions ap-V

plicable to children under sixteen

years instead of eighteen was likewise

defeated. Further, the alleged findings

of the national child labor organiza-

tion in the Michigan beet fields, which

were later discovered by a committee

of the state legislature and by private

investigators to be largely unfounded,

had been used in cities throughout the

country before civic, church and other

societies to build up a prejudice

~ against the customary employment of

children on the farms.





, It is not our purpose to discuss the

‘ merits of this proposed amendment,-

‘but simply to remind readers that here

his a. case where labor organizations





’ LL'hail 'to he 'who



holds th 6 line—-

the man who stead-

fastly sticks to his





periods! ' Thousands





‘ of farmers during these days of doubts





and, fears and discouragements are

fighting .with their backs to the wall.

They are determined to see the thing

through or go down in the attempt.

They have faith that what has been

will be again, and are holding the line

with dogged tenacity, knowing, no

doubt, that when good fortune again

smiles down upon the farm those who

have kept fit will be the first to benefit.



It is not dollars alone that make

these'men hang on, work hard and

live on hopes. Rather it is the desire

to see the fulfillment of an ideal. Much

of the reward that comes to us on the

farm, comes not in dollars and cents

and swelling bank accounts, but in

rich, neat fields, in bounteou’s crops, in

luscious fruits, in slick live stock, and

beautiful homes.



Perhaps it is this thought that has

led to the realization that farming is

not so much a business after all, as it

is a mode of life. We do not bend our

backs in painful and strenuous effort,

work long hours, and do our very .best

when dollars only are the reward. We

do these things because ambition

spurs us on to accomplish the things

we have set out to do, to reach the

goal that is of our own making.





It is these men, who are not easily

led aside from their chosen pathway,

who do not sidetrack with every shift-

ing of the wind, who drive steadily ,on

toward the attainment of their ideals,

whether the way be smooth or strewn

with obstacles, that are today “holding

the line.” It is they who form the

great balance wheel of civilization,

who keep the world from going back-

ward during times like these, who

make this country safe and leave room

therein for comfort, song and laugh«





ter. Again, All Hail to he who holds

the line!



HE plebian bean



Those Who .is now attracting



K nat10nal attention for



now its prices have been



Beans mostly in the dumps.





Therefore, f e d e r a1

agents are busy gathering information

with reference to the market situation

with the thought of standardizing

bean grades and bringing this soldiers’

friend (‘2) under the warehouse act so

that the crop may be financed in stor-

age over the slump periods.



The warehouse act is undoubtedly a

good thing for it makes the borrowing

of money on hold-over crops much eas-

ier. It, at least, will give the financial

kings a chance to get their hands in

the bean bag. These money lenders

know enough about beans, and more

about making money, to be interested

in this warehouse proposition.



Of course, to work the warehouse

act it is necessary to standardize the

product, as there are beans and beans.

That standardization is a good thing,

most any student of marketing will

admit. But, in this particular situation

it puts Michigan to disadvantage.





It so happens that Michigan is en-

dowed with conditions which grow a.

better bean than ,most other places.

It is also fortunate in having growers

who know how to grow good beans

and dealers who know how to sell

them. Therefore, Michigan’s distinc«

tive gradings of a superior product

have won a reputation on the market.

Now. if the Michigan beans are mark-

ed U. S. No. 1, etc, they lose their dis-

tinctiveness as they are placed on the

level with beans grown in California

and other places where just beans are

grown.



Michigan can not afford to lose the

distinctive epopularity for its bean





task through critical





at Tetandardlzationm '

Michigan between the -

deep blue sea as standardization and





warehousing“ are geod things; but a. li’

' reputation is also, and to Michigan,





who has an enviable one, it is even

more prized than the other things





Let’ a hope that the situation can be“





so worked out; that the benefits of

still Michigan be able to impress the





market public with the distinctive

high quality of its product. '





HAT city man





. Farmers whom We in our

K , travels . occasionally

now meet- with his elevat-

Them ed five-center, . and





thumbs pulling at his

vest arm holes, gave birth to. another

of his effervescent productions the oth-

er day, expounding the wonderful way

“we city people do things.” Since we





were obliged to stay in the same hotel‘





that night, it was necessary to give

attention to this man's statement.



After due deliberation the general

conclusion was reached that this city

man had no special reason to overflow

with self—praise and strut about with

chest pOinted upward. He and his.

kind were not responsible for the en-

ergy and the business acumen that

drives the great projects of our mod-

ern cities. That physical energy and

mental activity are the products of the

American farm.



The farm manned the cities. The

dignified presidents, the keen manag-

ers, the hustlingsuperintendents, the

busy foremen, and, withal, the thou-

sands of skilled workers of every sort





'were very largely recruited from the





good old farms. And from these same

farms have come the stuff that main-

tains these city workers in condition

fit to continue the services which have

resulted in the upouilding of our great

centers of population.



Whatever may be the claims of a

few enthusiastic “city failures,” the

fact remains that great cities are pos-

sible only as farming becomes more

and more efficient.





IT is interesting to





More note that more

farmers are getting



800;! on an efl‘iciency basis

Farmers in their farm opera-





tions. The United

States Bureau of Agricultural Econom-

ics find that 16,000 farmers are keep-

ing books and as a result 7 .000 of them

have changed their farm operating

plans.





These figures show that farmers are

gradually beginning to realize that

book-keeping is to farming what the

Babcock test is to dairying, and cull-

ing is to poultry raising.



The average farmer has boarder

crops as well as boarder cows, but the

one who keeps records has neither.

The farmer who farms on the I-don’t—

know—where-I-am -going-but-I-am-on-my-

way basis does not know over which

crops he should map and weep, or har-

vest happily.



It pays to know .where you are at in

farming as well as in other things of

life.





AST week a wide-

ly known natural-

ist reminded us of the

difference b e t w e e 11

men and wild geese.

According to this

man, when the leader of a flock of

wild geese tells his followers to “look

out," every member of the flock looks

in the direction of the danger. But, if-

such a warning is given to' a crowd of

humans, they will look- in every direc-

tion. This possibly indicates that these

birds are well- organized and men are

not.

At least, a high percentage ofhuman

institutions are short-lived._The m‘a-





Wild Geese

And

Men-





I while.

standardization can be obtained and





31:1

ban a common characteristic. They

live becauSe

that the members consider Worth-





ed promptly when there is an enemy

to fight. Fishnets, like other people,





can be made to stick if their organizer.





tion programs have Something in them

that the member can stick to. ’In oth-

er words, if leadership can so crystal-

ize the' objective of an organization

that every member will instinctively

face the common danger, problem,

or aspiration when the "look out” sign

is displayed, the chances of that or-

ganization carrying on are promising.

Then the members will likely show

that same even front line as do the

wild geese on their migration journeys.





Bare Bow!





THEéthéT'day I went to the what



you call metropolis of our grand

and glorious state and was entertained

by one of my influenshull friends.





Base Bawl at home is base bawl. I

like ta see Willie Jones swat them,

and Mike Simpson steal home, like he

was out all night and didn’t want his

wife ta see him get in. And I like ta

umpire. I get along 0. K- ’cause I give

the decishun ta the side what will

kick the most, and then oncet in a

while I do it the other way ta show

them I’m fair about it.





But, base bawl in the metropolis is

somethin’ different. There you pay a.

dollar and} a halt

ta see somebody

else work, ‘when

you kin work for

nothin’ yourself.

But them city fel-

lers is got so used

ta' not workin’





 





shunal pastime ta.





pay money ta see‘





someone else do it.

This is the way you do it. First you

stand in line like a lotta sheep tryin’





ta get through a gate ta spend your‘





dollar and a half. Then you run up a.

runway just like a lotta sheep in the

stock yards] Next you set .on a hard

seat and buy a bag 0’ peanuts what

has nine peanuts in it for ten cents,

and wait fer the umpire ta bawl out:

“play bawl.”





Durin' the proceedin's you listen ta

the teller next ta you tellin’ you all

about the natshural and unnaturshural

history of the players. He talks like

he knows their families and everythin’,

and it seems everybody there is got

somebody next to them doin’ the same

thing.



Then everybody there gets real ex-

cited when one 'of them twenty—five

thousand dollar a. year beauties hits

the bawl and gets ta second base. The

game ain’t as interestin’ as the home

game, ’cause they don’t hit the bawl

so often, but you’ve paid a dollar and

a half so you gotta get as much fun

as you kin outa it.



’ Now when city folkes go ta the bawl

game they is gotta tell their boss their

Grandmother’s funeral is and I kin bet

you there’s more Grandmothers’ fun-

erals when a bawl game is on than

there is Grandma’s ta go around. So

it looks like base bawl is good for the

undertakers. \ .



Now I never tell my boss, Sophie,

than I just tell her I gotta go ta town

on business and when she asts what-

that business is I say I’m goin’ ta. see

why there .is so many strikeouts

among the fly swatters and what kin

be done with the “foul" ”productshun.

“There now,” says Mel, “that makes

ning his finger up and down columns

of figures in a little red- book that lies

open on his desk. What this book is

Mel interrupted, “all increase of

he says. And Schnackerberger an-

swers “one fine wool buck, and re-

peats, “one Poland China brood sow,

out prompting.





Then come the tools, all the imple-

ments necessary for a renter, ending

up “one Wide-tired wagon.” “Whiffle-

tree and neckyoke?” asks Mel. “Whit-

er._ “Now the furniture,” says Mel.

"Household furniture, each and every

Mel, shortly—and so the, list goes on,

ending. “one set blue and white china

Figure it out for yourself—just what

rate of interest Mel Tramper is 'get-

ting for his money. Two hundred dol-

lars for eight months becomes $200

plus $36.54 bonus plus interest at sev~

en per cent on the combined sum. It

bonus each time, that inthree or four

years it will have grown to five or six

hundred dollars, and that Mr. Schnacki

erberger will be around posting auc-

tion bills upon which Mel Trumper’s

name appears as ”clerk.” And to get

thisoriginal $200, this honest, hard-

working young farmer has not only

mortgaged everything he can call his

own, buthas even been driven to have

his girl wife, a. bride of less than a

year, add hersignature to a chattel

mortgage that-covers even the dishes

on the table and the sheets on the bed.





‘What chance is there for these young

that none of the folks from their own

WHAT A LITTLE'wonk snoueHT.





 





_ T HE natural beauty of the location





of our, homestead should have

made it attractive, ‘but. because of

dilapidated fences, lack 0f shrubbery,

holes in the lawn and mud at the





doorways, it was not. ‘So my first-





work after gaining passesslon, was the

removal of some of the fences and the

straightening of others, the planting

of shrubbery which I obtained for the

asking, building grayel walks from the

entrances and leveling the lawn, all of

which cost me only my labor. It has

resulted in an, improved appearance

which now draws favorable. comment

from passersby and, in the end, im-

proves the value of the whole farm.—

John Burton. ‘





SMALL cosr BRINGS BIG

RESULTS.-





 





WHEN we moved on our present

farm, the front yard was filled

with stone which were once the wall

of an old hall. The yard was also very

uneven. We removed such stone as

could not be covered, filled in with

dirt, making the yard level. Trees and

shrubs were planted, while a vine, sup-

ported by wire, forms an arch over

the gate. Evergreen trees now form a

row along the driveway. Trees and

brush, not tOuched for years, were

pruned. An old silo pit, from which

the silo had, been removed, was filled

with earth and planted to flowers and

vines. This has brought about a won-

derful transformation in our home.—

J. H. Davidhizar.





 





CLEANS UP.





 





I MOVED on this farm three years



ago. While the buildings were

good, the yard was literally filled with

old machinery and other rubbish and

inclosed with an old stump fence. I

moved the machinery out of sight,

burned the fence and raked the yard.

Some shade trees were set out and

old rose bushes pruned. When the

grass started, we had the. satisfaction

of knowing that our neighbors appre-

ciated the change—J. Gould.

A RE-BUILT FARM House.





 





NEVER would you suspect that

i there was an old house within

the convenient farm dwelling we now

live in. When we bought this farm

ten years ago, I could just hear some

old trellises‘ calling out for vines to

twine around them. Soon I had cle-

matis and honeysuckle "running riot

over these supports. How much they

did add to the appearance of our home.



Spirea were planted in front of the

. porch with ferns between. The spirea

is beautiful in the spring with its

sprays of white blossom, while the





 





Wfiy a Camera?





I N thousands of homes to which

this journal makes weekly vis-

its cameras are owned. Are

they of any value to the farmer

and .his family? The Handy Man

would like to' know. Just write

a letter to him on the value the

camera has been to you, address

to the Michigan Farmer,~Detroit,

and mail on or before May 14. A

ferns stay green until the fall frosts

are here. A rose garden has also been

planted at the rear of the house. From

our dining-room windows we can see

flowers in bloom from the earliest tu-

lips to the latest Chrysanthemums. I

love the perennials and am using more

of them every year, as they require

less care than the annuals. ~

Through replacing the little porch

with a deep spacious one that extends

across the north side of the house and

around to the east side, we secure a

great deal of enjoyment. In remodel-

ing the old house it has given us a

handy kitchen with a dumb-waiter, and

a basement that occupies nearly the

full floor area inclosed with high, dry,

smooth walls. Upstairs there are

three bedrooms and a bath and sew-

ing-room. Closets and draws are

abundant. Furnace heat, electric lights

and running water complete the mod-

ern tone. '

We thought at first‘we could not

afford to make these changes, but by

doing much of the work ourselves, it

has cost us comparatively little and

we are glad we did it. One can find

more elaborate farm bonses, but every

dollar in this came from our hundred-

acre farm—J. E. Miller.

BATHE THE SEED POTATOES.





 





A LL seed potatoes should be treated



in a corrosive sublimate bath to

kill potato scab and blackscurf. Use

four ounces of the corrosive sublimate

in thirty gallons of water. Soak the

potatoes in the solution for one hour.

If there are many potatoes to be treat—

ed in the solution, enough water

should be added after each bath to

make the solution its original volume

Not the most feet of rope per dollar, but

the longest rope service! That—suc-

cessful farmers more and more realize,

is the economical way to buy rope.





For even if you could get two cheap

lines for the price of one good rope, you

would still have the trouble of chang-

ing them—and you couldn’t rely on

either for dependable wear. .





So to save yourself trouble and

money, get a good rope—one that will

pay for itself in long, dependable serv-

ice. Here’s how you can tell it, before

you buy. Untwist the strands. Look

for the thin blue thread marker—the

“Blue Heart’ ’— running between the

strands. Then you may be sure you

have a rope that in the end will cost

you less.





What the “Blue Heart” .

signifies



. The “Blue Heart” marker means that



the rope is genuine H. a A. “Blue



Heart” Manila Rope spun by skilled





rope makers from high grade, pure se-

lected manila fibre. ~





It means also that in any size, on any

job, the rope will wear longer and

deliver without fail the strength you

have a right to expect. For the selected

fibres of H. 83 A. “Blue Heart” Manila

Rope are drawn, spun, laid and prop-

erly lubricated so as to insure the

smooth working of every fibre, yarn

and strand.





Buy rope scientifically. Know what

you are getting. Untwist the strands

and look for the “Blue Heart”—our reg-

istered trade mark that assures you of

dependable rope value.





, For sisal rope





For other jobs where a high~grade sisal

rope is wanted, use the best—H. 85 A.

‘IN June. five Upper Peninsula rails. ' i \

roads will conduct a dairy special.





train'throughout the district, fer the





purpose of demonstrating the value of ,'





high-grade and pure-bred dairy cattle.

Men from the Michigan Agricultural

College, the Upper Peninsula Develop-

ment' Bureau, and several national

.breeders’ associations will supervise

these demonstrations.



The train will ' be' assembled at

Stephenson, Menominee county, about

June 2. The route will include stops

at Carney, Hermansville, Norway, Se-

gola, Iron River, Crystal Falls, Mass,





Bark River, Sault Ste. Marie, Brimley, '





Moran, Newberry, Macmillan, Chat-

ham, Ska’ndia, Negaunee, Republic,

Houghton, Chassell, Pelkie, Baraga,

Covington, Kenton, Bruce’s Crossing,

Topaz, Ironwood and Wakefield.





. The train will be composed of three





baggage and one passenger car, a din-

er, sleeper and flat-car. The flat-car

will be used for demonstration pur-

poses on this train and representatives

of breeders’ associations will point out

the characteristics of each breed. It

is also expected that a car of pure—

bred stock will accompany the train

to ,be sold at auction to farmers want-

ing to make immediate purchases.





LINING UP THE POULTRY BREED-

N Dickinson county, according to the



agricultural agent, Mr. Arthur Lons-

dorf, 124 farmers have flocks of chick-

ens of distinct breeds. Of these, sev-

enty-three farmers only have pure—bred

poultry. White Leghorns are the fav-

ored breed in Dickinson. The flocks

range from 100 to 300 birds. Mr. Lons-

dori’ is mailing to poultry breeders a

Michigan Agricultural College bulletin

on poultry culture. 1





USE TREES TO PROTECT ROADS.





IRON county contemplates establish-



ing wind—breaks along its highways

through the planting of evergreen

trees. The county has already pur-

chased some timber~lands on its high-

ways for the same purpose, as well as

for the preservation of timber that has

scenic value. The new policy will re-

quire widening the right-of—way of the

roads to enable the planting of ever-

greens to a depth of fifty feet or so.

It is believed that Iron county’s ex-

ample has value for other counties in

the deep snow country.

A SERIES of fifteen dairy-alfalfa



meetings was held recently in Me-

nominee county, under the direction of

Karl Knaus, county agricultural agent,





and Mr. J. G. Wells, M. A. C. dairy‘





specialist. Much interest was report~

ed in the growing of alfalfa, and the

agent predicts a doubling of the al-

falfa acreage in Menominee this year.

Fifty-six farmers expressed an interest

in belonging to a cow—testing associa5

tion and forty-five expressed a desire

to join a bull association, it is stated.

Mr. Wells will try to establish at least

one cdw-testing association in Menom-

inee county in May.



In Marquette county the testing of

cattle for tuberculosis has been start~

ed in the Michigamme district, where

five per cent of the animals tested

were discovered to be reactors. They

GET'A'CQUAINTED' WITH YOUR

GARDEN FRIENDS.





 





HERE are some, garden friends

- we recognize, but there are many

K , others we do not. We give the

E toad his welcome, but 'we will try our

3 best to kill the wasps, and will turn

over pieces of boards or rocks to give

thechicks a chance at the big black

bugs beneath, and in so doing destroy

insect-eating friends as valuable as

the toad. The wasps themselves do

_ ' not eat insects, but live on nectar from

. flowers and fruit juices, but the larva

‘ are fed on insects.which the wasps

gather and store away for them, first

stinging them to paralyze them until

the eggs hatch and the little worms

are ready for them.



The mud-dauber is the handiest wasp

for you to examine a nest, but all the

wasps and hornets store insects in

their particular kind of homes and

many of them store the most destruc-

tive worms we have to fight, and if

you will note the number of spiders in

a mud dauber cell you will have an

idea how many insects it takes to feed

one larva until it is ready to become

l a wasp. -





 





 





. Not only do we have large wasps,



. but there are very small wasps hardly



, larger than gnats, that lay eggs on



‘ worms and insects, and when these



eggs hatch the larva eat the insect to



which they are attached. I have seen



_ them on tomato worms, looking like



5 small oval white seeds, and when you



; find a worm thus afflicted do not kill



‘ it, for the tiny larva will do.that, and



if you destroy the larve of the wasps



l you will prevent their coming out and



laying eggs on other tomato worms,



for each wasp has its particular food



supply and as they increase very much



. faster than the food supply they will

gain fast on it.





‘1’ The real enemy that kills off the

‘ army worms? when they start on a.

march is a. tiny gnat-like fly that lays

eggs on its body. As long as the army

worm stays at home, hiding in the soil,

during daylight, like the cutworm it is

safe from them, but it soon finds its

3 death on the march. Of course, there

are other enemies to these pests, but

i» this is one of themost effective.

WATCH THE SEED CORN.





ESTS show that crib corn will be

practically useless for seed this

year. No farmer is justified in plant-

ing corn that has not been tested.

Careful growers of corn are finding

that much of their seed will not grow.

Sixty-five of these growers made ap-

plication to the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Association to have their

corn entered as certified. Tests, how-

ever, ruled out all but fifteen of the

samples submitted. The stocks or

these fifteen farmers will' plant only

ten thousand acres. The man who has

a. supply of: corn on hand from 1922

should make tests with a view of us

ing it instead of corn from last year.

“ Shortly after that, young Houston

and young Houston. I had forced her,

by devious ways, to pretend that she

a trembling man signed the confession

of handcuffs. A moment later two

figures had departed in the dusk,——the

sheriff and Fred Thayer, bound for the

“Well?” questioned that person. “I

“What do you mean?”





“Simply this,” and the bulky Black-

Houston beaming happily downward,

him, looking out over the rippling

were again radiant, the blues and pur-

seemed, with one another, in a con-

_ ple were horrified

to have the daughter of a Gentile

reigning over them, but no one dared

say a word. The queen- -murderess had

gotten complete control of the govern-

mental machinery, and all pretesters

were helpless, except one. That one

was a clergyman, one of these pale,

drawn and vapid creatures such as are.

portrayed as preachers, in the movies.

This same clergyman was the father.

of Benaiah, the captain of David’s

bodyguard. And'Jehoiada planned the

coup d’ etat, which ridded the nation

of Athaliah and put her grandson,

whom she had intended to murder, on

the throne.





 





HE plans were laid with no detail



omitted. Evidently it was on a.

Sabbath day. The guards were divid—

ed into two large bodies. The first

were mounted, and guarded the en-

trance to the kings’ palace, and one of

the gates of the temple. The infantry

was stationed at the right and left of

the heir to the throne (seven years

old), to protect his person and kill

anyone who ventured inside the circle

of rails which lnclosed the royal seat.

A romantic touch was given to the

bold experiment 'when the spears and

shields used by David’s body—guard

were passed out to the soldiers. The

tiny king then approached and was





anointed ruler of his people. All the

assembled company clapped their

hands and shouted, "Long live the

king!”





The sound reached Athaliah in the

palace, and, bold woman that she was,

she hastened aldne to the temple. Her

eyes beheld the‘scene she feared the

most—another person in the act of be-

ing crowned monarch. There stood

the little Joash, who she supposed was

dead, and about him stood the guard.

She shrieked, “Treason, treason!”

Jehoiada, the real ruler, who had en-

gineered the whole plot, had given or-

ders that the queen was not to be

touched in the temple, for the temple

was holy. But she was seized and

dragged outside the temple court and





_ killed.





OME words about the boy king. He

proved to be a. good king, and he

should have been, considering the de-

VOted pains with which he was brought

to the throne. He never forgot what

others had done for him. Jehoiada





LWas his counselor and confidant. The

pushed him forward and lifted him up,

has Some good qualities. “Gratitude





is the least of virtues, ingrat‘ltnde the ’





worst of vices.”

It is usually stated that Joash Was





providentially preSexved. He escaped,





the fate ‘of his httle brothers. But

Providence could act Only When a hu-





man agent was ready to cooperate.





The aunt Was the human agent and

she. acted quickly. Nothing more is

said of 'her. Maybe she was an old-





maid aunt, who had no charms aside





frOm her goodness, and no influence

at cOurt whatever. Just at that time,

however, she was the most important

person in the kingdom. She. saved

David’s line frOm extinction. Most of

Us owe much to seme obscure pers‘dn;

some household servant perhaps, who

took care of us When we were little;





some teacher who gave us encourage»





ment at the right moment. When Gar-

field took the oath of office as presi-

dent, he turned and kissed the aged

mother who sat near, thereby show-

ing his gratitude to the person to

whom he owed most. But thousands

of men owe as much to their mothers

as Garfield did, though they may not

be able to show it in as dramatic a

manner.





HE man who was the chief figure

all these years was this priest, this

clergyman, who knew human nature

and events. During the years of Jo-

ashs’ reign, Jehoiada was the virtual

ruler. Among the reforms wrought by

Joash was that of repairing the tem-

ple. During the reigns of Athaliah and

others the temple had been allowed to

fall into grievous disrepair. In fact,

many of the stones and ornaments had

been carried away, for use in erecting

a temple to Baal, hard by. The ten-

derest memories of childhood, in the

case of Joash, were associated with

the temple. He could not endure to

see it desecrated. A big chest was

placed near one of the entrances,and

as the people came and went, they

dropped in money. In time this came

to be a large sum, which was all used

for repairing the sacred building.

When the house of worship is al-

lowed to fall into decay, something

is the matter. In towns where there

are too many churches, it may be well

enough to let one or two of them

Close their doors. But where a church

is needed, it should be kept up. Peo~

ple who blow in as much for movies,

soft drinks and cigars as we do, do

not need to whimper when asked for

a cdntribution for repairing the church.

A church building in obvious need of

repair breeds contempt in the eyes of

the boys and girls. They attend a

school Where everything is modern,

well kept and convenient. They go to

Sunday School in a building where the

walls are smoked, the windows crack-

ed, the carpets worn through to the

boards. What other conclusion can

they draw, except that the school is

important, the church is not? A Joash

in many Michigan towns would do

more good than a new sheriff. “I love

thy church, 0 God! Her walls bef01e

thee stand, dear as the apple of thine

eye, and graven on thy hand.”

Allabay Conflagration

shows Fire a Chief new points

about Ford Lubrxcatlon





TEXAS town* has two



Ford fire trucks. A fire

Started in the morning. It raged

an day. The Post Office and

staveral business buildings were

destroyed.



Truck Number One, lubri-

Cated by a well—known oil, went

to Work—pumping, hard, con-

tinuous work—at 6:30 A. M.

By 9 o’clock the engine was

seriously overheated. The water

Was boiling. In the two and one

half hours a gallon and a half of

oil was consumed.



The crank-case was drained

and a different oil poured in.

Within 30 minutes the engine

again badly overheated and the

water boiled.



In desperation, a third brand

of oil was tried. This, too,

lasted only 30 minutes. When

the drain plug Was removed the

oil ran out and “ foamed up like

a batch of hot molasses.”





"E” Thrive: on Hard Jobs

The Fire Chief was then urged

to use Gargoyle Mobiloil “E.”

A gallon of “E” went into-the

Ford engine at 11 o’clock. The

engine ran continuously until

7 that night—on the same oil





plus about a quart more. No.





overheating. No boiling. “The

boys could tend to the hose

instead of the engine.”

I! Name of the town on request.





Tractor Lubrication





The correct engine lubricant for

the FORDSON TRACTOR is

Gargoyle Mobiloil “BB” 1n summer

and Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” m win—

ter. The correct oil for all other

tractors is specified in our chart.





Ask for it at your dealer’s.

New York (Main Oflice) Minneapolis Rochester



Boston St. Louis Oklahoma City



Chicago Des Moines Peoria



Philadelphia allas Albany .



Detroit ansas City,Mo. Portland, Me.



Pittsburgh Milwaukee Springfield. Mass.

, Indianapolis Buffalo New Haven





5 Truck Number Two went

through the same difficulty and

got the same welcome relief

from Gargoyle Mobiloil “E. ”





What "E” Ofi'ers Your Ford

Some of the marked benefits of

using Gargoyle Mobiloil “E”

in a Ford engine are these. Less

carbon; better bearing lubrica-

tion; positive and immediate

clutch engagement and disen-

gagement; thorough lubrication

of transmission sleeves, gears

and bearings; thorough lubri—

cation of every frictional

surface.





For the difi‘erential of your

Ford car use Gargoyle Mobiloil

“CC” or Mobilubricant as

specified by the Chart of

Recommendations.





Fair Retail Price

30c A Quart from Bulk





When the dealer sells a quart of

Gargoyle Mobiloil from bulk for less

than 30c, he does not make his fair.

reasonable profit. Lower prices often

accompany subsitution of low—quality

oil for genuine Gargoyle Mobiloil.

Prices are slightly higher in Canada;

the Southwest. and the Far West.

F ORTUNATE indeed is the mother

. who can sew, and especially so if

‘ she is the mother of little girls They

require so many little dainty dresses

and skirts that are simple to make,

yet expensive to buy.



The dainty bloomer dresses are pop-

ular for the little miss this season.

Beside permitting freedom at playtime,

they are easy to launder, two features

which every mether should consider

when planning children’s garments._



The playtime frocks for children

should be made of any good washable

material of a color that won’t fade and

may be embroidered with simple de-





 





for mother, because the length de

pends partly upon the type of frock

and partly upon the type of girl who

wears it. 1



Girlies under six years of age may

wear their skirts above their knees.

‘For girls from eight to ten years of

age, the dress should come to the knee

and two inches below for .the girl

around twelve years old.

signs. Even the plainest little dresses

can be made to look like Sunday

frocks if a touch of embroidery is ad-

ded in appropriate colors.



The new applique designs are very

simple but effective on children’s

clothes, as illustrated here. If mother

tells a' bedtime story, such as Little

Bo—peep or Little Red Hiding Hood,

and then has a frock prettily embroid-

ered with these designs for them to

slip on in the morning, they will get a

heap of enjoyment from it and be

anxious to tell the story to their play-

mates.



Mother may find any amount of pat-

terns i‘or embroidery made for her use,

but if she is resourceful, she can find

the designs for her patterns in the

advertising columns of her favorite

magazine. Many of the Mother Goose

stories are illustrated here and may

be cut out and used as a pattern for

an attractive picture for the little

lady’s newest dress.



The question of .length of frocks for

little girls is often a perplexing one

READERS VOTE FOR FIREPLACE.





 





F Mrs. M. E. H., of Charlevox could



have read the scores of letters that

were received this week telling of

the advantages of the fireplace, I am

sure she would not hesitate in making

one a part of her home. Every letter

received to date was in favor of a fire-

place, but declared that it must be

built by a mason who knew his, job.

The prize-winning letters in brief fol-

low here—M. C.





 





Unexcelled as a Ventilator.

We have had our fireplace twelve

years and would not consider a hernia





 





 





without one It is enjoyed between

seasons, during extreme cold, and for

ventilation. As a vent-Hater it is un-

excelled, removing the Cold air from

the floor and throwing out heat into

the room. Our fireplace was built by

an expert, which we think very neces-

sary to insure good draft and heat

without smoke. The family greatly

enjoy the fireside on cold winter even-

ings, perhaps with no light but the

dancing flames, and someone at the

piano or victrola, or grandpa and

grandma recounting experiences of

earlier days. Such times become

“memory days” to the younger gener-

ation—Mrs. B. R, Rockford, Mich.





 





Not Smoked in Twenty Years.



We have a fireplace in our living—

room, which is unusually large. Even

in quite cold weather it makes the

room quite comfortable. It has two

dampers, one giving direct draft and

another indirect draft. It has been in

use for twenty years and has never

smoked—Mrs. C. F. L., Adrian, Mich.





 





In a Remodeled Farm Home.



When we remodeled an old farm

house into our present home, I insist-

ed on having a fireplace. Husband

had his doubts about building one, but

now enthusiastically agrees it to be

a cosy, convenient and ornamental ad-

dition to our home. It is built of rough

building brick of deep red color across

the north end of the living-room, with

built-in bookcases at either end. Two

small windows directly over the book-

cases affords extra light.—Mrs. L. A.

T., Armada, Mich.





 





Adds to Beauty of Room.

practical, beautiful and to be the heart,





of the home. When equipped with a

, hearts are closer by the light of the





'open fire. ‘ Even the baby likes to

watch the flickering firelight from his

Grind the horseradish fine, and to

each pint add one-half teaspoon sat

in sterilized jars and seal.



If your horseradish tends to have

a flat taste, it is usually caused by us-

ing too strong vinegar. The vinegar

taste will over-come the spicy taste

of the horseradish.

But, if he is not trained to assume certain responsibilities gradually, he will

not be prepared to share his part in the game of life when he leaves the

A very successful experiment in child education has been conducted at

the Lincoln School in connection with Columbia University, New York. The

average child’s school curriculum is planned upon the principle that school





training prepares a child for the life they will live in after years.

‘Why Did They Call it a Fire Tree?"

“Hello, boys, having a good time?

Would you like to hear a story?”



“Oh, yes, a story, a story,” all three

exclaimed at once, for they liked noth-

Fox’s stories. I



“Well, you know it was like this,

boys,” began Frankie when the three

little Woodland boys were seated

around him on tree stumps and listen-

ing attentively. “Once there was a

maple tree, and a fine old tree it was.

The boys and girls who used to play

about it called it the fire tree.”



“Why did they call it the fire tree?”

asked Glennie.



“Because its leaves were so bright

and beautiful in the autumn that they

looked like fire,” answered Frankie

Fox. “These boys and girls just loved

this old‘maple tree and often came to

play in its shade and have picnics un-

der it. —But on one bright spring day

when the children came to play under

the old maple tree, she had no leaves

to shade them." .

It was the maple tree who answered

them. The bare branches rubbing to-

“ ‘Have a care, have a care.

“ ‘Hear that?’ said one little boy.

‘The maple tree is answering us. We

have killed our dear old maple tree

ourselves. We have marred and

scarred her bark by our initials and

pictures we have out on it.’



“Then the children all went back

home without their play, each feeling

very sad.”



‘g‘I hope our old maple tree here

don’t die," said Glennie. “I'll never,

Dear Uncle Frank:

The question, “Are boys rude to

girls. 9” is a. good topic for diacussion.

Polly svinisky says, “Maybe some

boys‘ think that they’ re good.” But I





' 'never thought of myself as good. but





still I’m not rude to girls.

While I attended the public schools,

I and many other boys enjoyed our-





selves by throwing snowballs at girls, »

Tribe, which George Conway Told

Manistee. His Name is Frank, But

he is Not Named After Me.





but just soft “tiny-biddy" ones, which

would not hurt the girls. The girls

took their turn often in . snowball

fights.



Often I find fault with girls, but

what is the use of mentioning them.

The girls would probably cry if I did.

Everybody knows how easily girls cry.





Polly, if you want, you can throw a“





snowball at .me right now, if you think

you could throw that far. I’m sure I

wouldn’t cry. ‘



Uncle Frank, I do think a lot of

girls. I never act rude to them, but

as it is, the only way to enjoy_myself

in public school is to tease the girls.



If this question was taken to court,

it would be settled in the following

manner: A11 boys are equal to girls,

and all girls are equal to boys. This

means, that the boys will not be rude

to girls if the girls will be as kind as

they think they are to boys. -I remain,

your “work- to-win” nephew, J E Hat-

tula, Trout Creek, Mich.



I think you have given Polly and

some of the other girls a chance to

throw back. I just wonder if teasing

is good enjoyment. Do the girls enjoy

being teased? Sometimes I think





they do.

Dear Uncle Frank: _

try so well, and print a paper for us

few cents to get it.



Well, good— —bye for now. ‘ Your. niece,

Agnes Blanshan, Watervhet, Mich.



I certainly would enjoy nothing bet-

ter than living in a country shack get-

ting out a. paper' for ,“my kids.” But,

it takes more than a few cents to print

a. paper and live at the same time.

My! my! and you really “pep” up for

exams.

Dear Uncle Frank:



In regards to the question, “Are boys

saved their .sick chicks and raised

nearly every chick in every hatch, by

merely dropping an 'Avicol tablet in

the drinking water. Successful poultry

raisersvsay therevis nothing else like

Avicol for this: purpose.



Chas. N. Kittinger, Willows, Calm,

writes; “Twelve of my chicks ad

diarrhea by the time I received my

Avicol. I immediately gave them

some, and by the second day, the

trouble disappeared and now they

are all as lively as crickets. If I had

only known of Avicol sooner, I would

have saved lots of chicks." .



“Last spring I bought 25 baby

chicks,” writes Mrs. John Shaffer,

Owen, Wis. “When about a week old,

would get droopy

and in a few hours would die. When

I had 15 left, I. begamgivmg-Avicol

and they stopped dying at once. I did

not lose another one.”



Don’t let white diarrhea get started

in your flock. Prevent it! Stop it!

HANDY STORAGE BIN.





 





 





IN most laying~houses a. storage bin



for scratch grain can be built out

from the sills without taking up any

of the floor space. Such a bin can

hold at least six or eight hundred

pounds of grain. It should have a

smooth slanting roof so the hens can-

not roost .on it.



The storage bin saves carrying grain

every day and enables the caretaker

to feed the hens quickly in the evening

when other work requires attention.

The farmer who will 'carry grain to

the hen house with the team and keep

the bin filled will find that his wife

can care for the hens without carry-

ing heavy pails of scratch feed. In

snowy and rainy weather the handy

grain supply may insure better care

for the hens.———R. '





 





 





BROODER STOVE TROUBLES.





 





I have a coal-burning brooder stove.

I am burning hard coal, chestnut size.

I have my stove equipped with six-inch

pipe as I could not get hard coal last

year and was obliged to use soft. I

have hard coal this year, however. I

can get the fire to burn very well dur-

ing the day, but it does down every

morning and every evening in spite of

anything I can do. It takes from three

to four hours to get it started again.

The weather has not been cold enough

so that the chicks have been chilled,

but that is all that prevents it. Ivshake

down the clinkers and put on cost]

when there is a. bed of glowing coals

and it immediately goes down as

though there was no draft. I take

down the ash pit door, and have the

check draft regulated . correctly. I

think that it is something that I do

not do as I should, but I do not know

what.-M. M. S.



We use three-inch stove pipes on

our coal-burning brooder stoves and

find the draught satisfactory. The

pipes are six feet long. Some poultry

breeders have found that the location

of a colony house may influence the

draught in the breeder stove operated

in the house. If your house is located

near other buildings where the air cur-

rents seem to retard the fire it may

help to move the house to a. more ex-

posed position. Be sure that all clink-

ers are removed from the grates. It

takes only a few clinker-s in the small

brooder houee grates to bank up the

ashes and slow down the fire.

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the Bac-

illus Bacterium Pullorum. This .‘germ

is transmitted to the baby chick





egg. Readers are warned to beware





of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until

it kills half your chicks. Take the

“stitch in timethat saves nine.” Re-

member, there is scarcely a hatch with‘

out some infected chicks.

these few infect your entire flock. Pre-

vent it. Give Walko in all drinking

water for the first two weeks and you

won’t lose one chick where you lost

hundreds before. These letters prove it:





 





Never Lost a Single” Chick





_ Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

1nd,, 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 One After First Dose





Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shennandoah.

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, when but a few days old, began

to die by the dozens with White Diar-

rhea. I tried different remedies and

was about discouraged with the chick-

en business. Finally, I sent to the

Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo, Iowa,

for a. box of- their Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy. It's just the only thing

for this terrible disease. We raised

700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never

lost a. single chick after the first dose.”





You Run No Risk





We will send Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk

—postage prepaid—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 50c for

package of Walko—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 inWaterloo, 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. .

» ' ' ‘ meeting at Fremont on April 18.

Thb season has been baCkward in

Nervaygoeonnty—delayed farm work

needed attention-rand yet, fifteen of





the twenty-six regular members of the .





cow testing association attended the





meeting. This speaks well for the in-

‘The associa-





In fact, the associatinn is so popular

that Tester Johnson reports five herds

being tested out monthly in addition

These ex-

tras will soon be in ,a separate associa-

tion, for County Agent Clair Taylor





, has the second cow testing association





ready to go, and a third partially form-

ed. We cannot say much longer, “The

Newa'ygo Cow Testing Association,”

but will have to designate one of

three. ‘ . .



In the business meeting Raymond

Kempt, of Fremont, was elected presi-

dent for another year. Kempf is the

only member whose herd, all pure-bred

Holsteins now, has been in the asso-

ciation since the start in 1905, al-

though several other members have

been in for three or four years.





Erwin Price—formerly herdsman for

four years at M. A. C., but now run-

ning a Guernsey herd near Fremont-e-

was re-elected secretary-treasurer.

.This mark of recognition came as a

result of Price handling finances so

skillfully last year that a surplus of

eleven cents was left in the treasury.



Gerritt Meeuwenberg, now on the

home farm after spending several

years in advanced registry testing for

M. A. C., was elected vice-president.



The association decided to hold a

picnic during the summer at the river

farm of Orville Atwood. President

Kempf appointed a .Holstein man,

Meeuwenberg; a Jersey‘man, Nelson,

and a Guernsey man, Rotier, to have

charge ~of arrangements, saying that

no breed favoritismshould be permit-

ted. A spirit of friendly rivalry exists

between the lovers of the three lead-

ing dairy breeds represented in the

cow testing association.



Twenty boys from Mr. Holden’s ag-

ricultural class} in the Fremont High

School attended part of the meeting

to hear a, dairy talk given by J. G.





’ Hays, of the Dairy Extension Depart-





ment, M. A. C. Hays stressed “home”

feeding of cows as well as new ideas

on mineral requirements; pointed out

the sales value of dairy cattle backed

by cow testing records, and emphasiz-

ed the value of real pure-bred bulls.

Digging in King Tut's tomb revealed

no more precious treasure than was

recently“ discovered in the process of

spring house cleaning in the vault of

the Fremont State Bank. For, behold

the prize cup was found! This cup

was procured by the association in

1913 to be given out yearly to the cow

producing the highest yield of butter-

fat during each association year. The

Newaygo County Farm won it during

each association year. The Newaygo

County Farm won it during the year

1915-1916, then H. W. Zerlaut captured

it next season, then—it disappeared!

(1‘0 he found recently, years later.

This cup will be awarded for last

\year to A. '0. Nelson, of Holton, Mich-

igan. His , 'Jersey cow made 586.7

pounds of fat and 8,787 pounds of milk.

Mr H. Zerlaut, of Fremont, would be

winner for 1921. His grade Guernsey

cow made 549.7 pounds of fat and

10,581 pounds of milk. In the future





this cup will _be awarded to the cow





that prodnoes most «butter-fat, age con-





sidered. Any breeder holding the cup' -

PASTURE AND cows AND GRAIN;

. \ .





 





VERY cowtowner welcomes spring. '1





The cows can get out and rustle-

their oWn feed. Labor about the barn

is cut down. Feed costs are lessened.

Production per cow increases. Pasture

gives renewed vigor and stamina to

cows that have not been fed properly

during the winter. All cows relish the

change to pasture.



Cow testing association experience

shows that where the proper winter

feeding was practiced least change oc-

curs when cows are turned on pasture.

This same experience shows that large

heavy milk producers lost weight at

this time. Don't scrimp on feed to

such cows. They are making the great-

est net return above feed cost. If they

lose body weight it means lessened

milk at a later date. It is expensive

to rebuild cows into good condition. In

the long ‘run it is cheaper to keep the

cows in good condition the year round.



Small quantities of grain help to

maintain efficient production when the.

cows are on pasture. How much grain

may be fed to advantage? Each cow-'

testing member and dairyman can de-v

termine this best for himself under his

own conditions.



A 4~2~1 ration of corn meal, ground

oats and cottonseed meal, respectively,





to every six to eight pounds of milk

supplements real good pasture excel-

lently. Ground barley or ground wheat

may be used to replace cornmeal and

bran to replace’ ground oats.





AN ECHO FROM THE PIPETTE

TWIRLERS.





 





URING March of this year, seven

cow testing associations finished

a year’s work. All of these associa—

tions are continuing. The Kalamazoo

Association developed into a two-cyl~

inder organization. Many interesting





items are reported from these associa- .





tions.



Bennett, of the Muskegon-Ravenna

Cow Testing Association, reports that

fifty-six cows were found undesirable.

They were sold and nine grade bulls

were “barbecued.” Seven pure-bred

bulls—three Holsteins,'two Guernseys

and two Jerseys—were bought.



Sexton, of Kalamazoo, states every

member finished the year and eighteen

members were on a waiting list.

Every member has a silo and every

member grows alfalfa. Eighteen pure-

bred .bulls were purchased to replace

others. Tester H. Hansen, 0f the North

Kent Cow Testing Association, reports

that twenty-three of his twenty-five

members mixed their own feed. All

herds are tuberculin-tested. Harry

Williams had high cow and high herd

in both milk and fat production.



In the North Clinton Cow Testing

Association, Ford Morgan mentions

that a pure—bred Holstein cow, eight

years old, was the high cow in butter-

fat production. This cow made 14,991

pounds of milk and 557.9 pounds of fat.

This cow belongs to Mr. F. Wilson’s

daughter. Miss Rosalind Wilson joined

a calf club sponsored by Mr. E. A.

Steb‘bins, of the Farmers’ and Mer-





chants’ Bank, of Carson City, in 1917, . ‘





and organized by Prof. W. E. J. Ed-

wards, of the Animal Husbandry De-

partment, M. A. C.

Now used in U. S.'A., Hawaiian Islands, Canada,





   

 

   

   

 

   





 





Cuba, Sweden, Norway, Finland. Denmark, Hol-

land, France, England, South Africa, India, New

Zealand, Australia and Japan. ' '





The progress which the De

Laval Milker has made during the

last three years is truly remark-

able. In the face of extremely

adverse conditions, financial and

otherwise, it has gone ahead,

winning thousands of new users

and friends, not only in the

United States and Canada but

throughout the world. These

facts prove two very important

points:



(1) That the De Laval Milk-

er is the only milking machine

sold and used on a world-wide

basis proves that it is recog-

nized by the leading'dairymen

of the world as “The Better

Way of Milking.”



(2) That most of these milk-

ers were sold during the worst ,



- financial depression of recent

years, when only such equip-

ment as would actually pay

for itself in a short time was



purchased, proves that it is a.



paying investment.





The De Laval Has Made Good





There is no longer any ques-

tion but What the De Laval Milk-

er is “The Better Way of Milk-

ing.” It eliminates a great deal

of hard, disagreeable labor. It

enables one man to milk at least





or method, as proved by the fact , -

that cows almost invariably in~ ,

crease their milk production

when milked with a De Laval.

A number of world’s records

have been made by De Laval-

milked cows. The De Laval is

simple in construction, durable,

and easy to operate. And finally, i

cleaner milk of higher quality 1

can be produced with it, as it is f

easy to keep in a clean and san- ‘

itary condition.





The Best Investment You

Can Make L'





Thousands of users claim the

purchase of their De Laval Milk-

er was the best investment they

ever made. You will say the

same after you have used one.

Even though you haven't enough

cash to pay for a De Laval out-

right, a small payment will put

one to work for you; and the

saving in hired help and the ex- '





tra milk produced will more

than pay the rest. _ . ,

There is a field of twenty acres close

to the barn, that produced a heavy

growth of Grimm. alfalfa last year.

This' field Mr. Collison figures will

make a suitable range for the spring

crop of pigs that is now coming on,

and at the 'same time produce two

good cuttings of alfalfa.



He says, where the hogs are con-

fined to a small area there is danger

of their eating it too close, nipping off

the crowns and killing it, but where

they have plenty of range they do lit-

tle, if any, harm, and the effect on the

hay crop is scarcely noticeable.



If the first crop grows extremely

heavy it may be advisable to keep the

larger ones out of the field for a week





,or two before cutting -time, and it is





also a good plan to keep them well

rung. Ringing is seldom necessary

with the spring pigs, however, espe-

cially if they be allowed some tankage

addition of linseed oil meal on one

and one-half and three pound amounts

to the standard corn belt ration in-

creased the gains, increased the total

daily feed consumption, but produced





‘ steers that shrank less enroute to the





market and sold for a higher price on

the Chicago market.”



But the summary of- the results of

the cottonseed ineal is not so favor-

able. He says: “The addition of cot-

tonseed meal did not increase the gain,

in fact, lots fed this meal made less

gains than the check lots. However,

these lots lost less weight while en-

route to Chicago than the check lots.



It is a significant fact that an aver-

age of a large number of experiments

conducted by stations all over the

country bear out the results of this

test, in so far that linseed oil meal is

adjudged as being more valuable for

feeding purposes than the cottonseed

meal. It appears from a study of' the

experimental data that the linseed

meal is worth a little better than one--

third more than the cottonseed meal





for dry-lot feeding.





Although, as Professor Evvard says,





it is impossible to make dogmatic

statements regarding the results of

these experiments it is reasonably safe

to answer the questions which were

asked earlier in the article. To ques-

tion number one, we must answer,

“Yes, it does pay to feed a. protein

supplement to fattening cattle.”

number two the reply is that linseed

oil meal is more valuable for this pur-

pose than thevcottonseed meal.

answer. to the third question as to the

proper amount of protein to‘feed is

still unsettled.





To





The





Going. over into another group of





tests which have been carried on it

was shown that cattle which have been

fed ground soy-beans in place of lin-

seed oil meal make better profits than

the ones fed linseed oil meal. ,3 It was

shown that the ground soy-beans are

even more profitable than rthe, soy-

bean oilmeal.

WHEAT





Wheat prices have developed decid-

ed strength in the last few days. The

fact that grain delivered on May con—

tracts went to people who wanted it,

increased export buying of Manitoba

wheat with a sharp advance at Winni-

peg and growing realization that im-

provement in the wheat market is a

strong probability in the next year

were some. of the high lights in the

situation. Private forecasts of the new

3 winter wheat crop run about 12,000,000

~ bushels below last year’s harvest and



the present condition is not quite as

promising as a month ago. A sharp

reduction in spring wheat acreage is

known to have taken place. Altogeth-

er it will not be surprising to see a

reduction of 200,000,000 bushels in the

world crop. If consumption is not re-

duced, the smaller crop will dispose

of most of the excess in supply by the

end of the next crop year.





RYE





Rye prices have turned strong in

the last few days partly in sympathy

with other grains and partly because

of expectation that rye will be includ-

ed in the provisions of the McNary-

Haugen bill. The new crop promises

only a moderate yield but with the

certainty of-a large carry-over, the to-

tal supply for the crop year will be

heavy again. Sales for export to

Northern Europe have been reported

in the last few days.





CORN





The heavy movement of corn to pri-

mary markets and reports of a slug-

gish demand have been neutralized by

large shipments from primaries which

have necessitated rapid withdrawals

from the visible supply at terminals.

If the present rate of disappearance

keeps up, stocks in commercial chan-

nels will be whittled down enough to,

induce an advance in corn prices dur-

ing the summer months although it

seems likely to be less than. the usual

seasonal upturn. Cold weather is de-

laying planting of the new crop to

some extent although there is still

time for the bulk of the work to be

done by the average date. Market in-





“creases D acreage are 'reported in var-





- ious parts of the northwest.





OATS





a Oats prices are firm with the small

~ visible supply, moderate receipts and

a fairly broad demand the supporting





 





 





"factors- TheTnew crop outlook is rath-





er favorable, although the "_a-creage_

seems not to have been increased as





much as eXpected. .

, snaps ,

. Demand for most clover and grass

seeds has subsided distinctly and pric-

es have declined. Alfalfa and sweet

clover'are stronger than the ‘others

because of increased planting this sea-

son and small remaining stocks. De-

mand for soy-beans is broad but the

stocks of most varieties are ample and

prices are easy. _ '

dlings was the feature of the week’s

feed market. The recent spurt in de-

mand.did not last long. Oil meals

have not shown the extreme softness

noted in wheat feeds as offerings. are





. being reduced and the new crop supply





is several months distant.





HAY





Best grades of timothy hay are still

bringing firm prices at most markets

as receipts are light. Lower grades

are dull everywhere. Alfalfa markets

are sagging with buyers awaiting the

new crop, although a fair demand for

good dairy hay persists. Southwestern

new crop alfalfa is being attracted to-

ward California as the foot-and-mou’th

quarantine prevents marketing. of cat-

tle and drought has not been entirely





relieved. ‘

BUTTER-





The trend of butter prices was down-

ward again last week although the de-

cline was checked at the close. Re-

ceipts at the four markets were con-

siderably larger than in the preceding

week, the time before grass butter

begins to make an appearance is short,

and consumptive demand, although

good, has not increased as much as

was expected with prices on the pres-

ent level. Quality of receipts is only

fair so that dealers are reluctant to

store current arrivalsp even though

prices are reasonable. Imports are

practically over until June prices have

been established. Present priCe levels

do 0t make a favorable market for

foreign butter. '



Prices were: 92—score creamery

butter, Chicago 360; New York 380.

In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells

for 360.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices were fairly steady last

week as many dealers believe they are

close to bottom for the season. Lib-

eral receipts will be a weakening fac-

tor, however, in any advance from the

present price levels. Consumption of

eggs is good. Receipts at the four

leading markets to May 1 were nearly

half a million cases less than last year

even at this figure there is little buy-

ing. Stocks are ample as the move-

ment into distributing channels has

been light for Several weeks. Around

the middle of May the harvest demand

usually develops so that the market

is expected to hold at‘ this level and

it may do a little better. Favorable

contracts offered by the sugar com-

panies also are having a strengthening

effect as the bean acreage may be out

if prices work lower.





POTATOES

Florida declined rather sharply. U. S.

, We will find the person who

cenviction that it is very



to breathe “night air.” The fact

there is no other kind available

tween dusk and dawn should dis

of these critics. But a much

class is composed of those who

afraid of chill or raw air, and who

therefore, inclined to keep all

windows closed in any but the mild

prised to know that one of its

important functions is that of

temperature for the lungs.



There is no question that weak l~

sistently leaves a large part of

margin of the lungs unused. The

It may not shorten life unless an

tack of pneumonia or other affecti

tainly reduces the feeling of well-

Many articles, and even books, ha

been written urging that this be ov

breathing, etc. Stand before your 0

filling the lungs to their greatest

pacity, is common advice. But it

not well considered. The average pe

son simply does not do that kind

thing. He may attempt it and keep

up for a few days, but not one in

hundred will persist for a year.



The best plan is to engage ev

ANKLE SWELLS.





- I had typhoid fever in bad form las

fall. Was very sick for ten weeks..-

am now better; have good appetl

and kidneys work all right; but to

left ankle swells and foot is swolle

somewhat. What do you think is th

cause? I am now under the care

a physician. Please tell me What y

think is the cause—Vt”. J. G.



You should go back to your docto

and stay under his care until entirel

well. There are many things tha

might account for the swelling of th

ankle, chiefly some circulatory troubl

or kidney insufficiency.





EYE WEAKNESS.





My two-and~a-half-year-old daughter

squints a great deal. Is it evidence of

eye trouble? My infant daughter, aged

two months, is a normal child in every

way, but one: I had the misfortune

to mark her ears after the picture of

a fiend’s at a theater, when no

of the sort was expected. What

it cast to have a specialist operate,

and can it be safely done? Please an-

:(sjwer tlsirough the Michigan Farmer.———





The squint indicates weakness of

some of the muscles or tendons of the

eye. It can be corrected and perhaps

the correction can be made by fitting

glasses, if you begin early.



Put away the idea that you “mark-

ed”'.the ears of your baby. Absolutly

homing to it. It is impossible to say

. iatfltwo months of age xif'anything

g'hould be done byway of operation.





f, :VWait a. while.

, Here are the Reasons [for the Power.





Smoothness and Endurance of

Oakland’s Six-Cylinder Engine





.{i‘gOakland’s new six—cylinder

\‘.._."L’head engine is of the most

advanced design. Its remarkable

performance is the logical result of

competent engineering and high

grade construction throughout.





(”“3 The large, perfectly—balanced

\.,.' crankshaft runs in big, special,





bronze—backed bearings. These pat—





ented bearings, on which smooth and

trouble—free engine performance de4

pends so much, are positively the

best that money can buy.





"’35 Lubrication is force feed by

k"): means of a reliable gear’type oil

pump. Main, camshaft and connect-

ing—rod bearings and timing chain are

continually bathed in oil. This pos«





itive lubrication adds greatly to the _





quiet operation and long life of this

True Blue engine. No better oilin

system has been developed. ‘





‘3 Oakland cylinders are honed





I,

O

“5/ smooth as glass on special mav

chines. Pistons and rings of the latest

design are individually fitted into each

cylinder with extreme care and pre-

cision. Vibration and wear are practi‘

cally eliminated by this ‘process.

(”5“. The connecting rods are light and

"2..." strong. The babbitt—lined bear-

ings are permanently‘bonded to each





rod with‘pure tin—the most approved

process and also the most expensive;





{'6‘} The camshaft is driven by a

‘~-_/ silent chain running in a’ bath of

oil. This is conceded the best type of





drive and the most accurate. There is

a convenient external adjustment.

g 7; Oakland valves are of special,

\._/ heatgresisting alloy steel. so effi-

cient are they, that valve grinding is

necessary only at very rare interVals.

(’8‘. The intake manifold is scientif—

\,,/' ’cally' designed to insure perfect

fuel distribution to all cylinders, and

therefore smooth, economical Oper—

ation. There is a handy temperature

adjustment for summer and winter.





I“\





f 9 3 The electrical system maintains

\p' Remy standards of excellence.

The spark control is entirely auto-

matic, Which means that the engine

Will deliver the maximum of power

under all conditions.





3’ O“: The single-plate disc clutch is

‘~--” simple and durable. It is self-

adjusting for wear. Its smooth oper—

ation is, in no small way, responsible

for the remarkably easy gear shifting

of the True Blue Oakland. ,





In no other car can such high quality





, and so many advanced featuresqbe





had at Oakland’s price.
